Chapter 868: The Death of the Netherworld Sheep and Marquis Heng's Scheming



The situation in the field suddenly changed, and a giant sky-covering hand suddenly appeared, directly grabbing at the Netherworld Plate, the Immortal Divine Artifact of the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master!

The experts observing from all sides saw the giant hand and immediately their expressions changed!

Because the direction from which the hand came was the ancient castle, the leader of the Four Great Forces!

And the Marquis Heng in that castle, it is rumored, has been a formidable presence among many beings in the gathering place for millions of years, and is a true super expert!

The cores of the other three arrays were still being contested by experts, and over the past million years, various experts have repeatedly taken turns, including the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master, who seized the opportunity tens of thousands of years ago to challenge the expert of the Heavenly God Temple, relying on the power of the Immortal Divine Artifact, the Netherworld Plate, to capture the Innate Temple and dominate one side.

And now, Marquis Heng, who rarely appears even once in tens of thousands of years, not only made a move at this critical moment but aimed to seize the Netherworld Plate upon his appearance!

The allure of this Immortal Divine Artifact had fascinated many experts in the gathering place, who even considered joining forces to kill the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master and seize the artifact afterward.

But now that Marquis Heng has made his move, how dare they have any designs on the Netherworld Plate?

The time the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master has reigned over the gathering place is the shortest and he is the oldest, hence there are many experts who dare to challenge him.

However, faced with the presence of Marquis Heng, who has suppressed the gathering place for a million years and whom no one dares to challenge, no expert on the scene dared to entertain the idea of attacking him!

Qin Feng also looked at the giant hand with a strange expression!

It seems that the allure of the Immortal Divine Artifact is absolutely immense, for even though it cannot become a treasure for traversing the River of Time, it undoubtedly holds many benefits for truly top-level experts!

Otherwise, experts like Marquis Heng, who usually can't be bothered to show up, wouldn't care about the changes in the other three great forces!

However, with Marquis Heng making his move, while Qin Feng felt a sense of relief, he also grew somewhat tense.

With two great experts now appearing, while it temporarily lifted the crisis for him, he still did not feel safe from danger!

No matter if the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master can contend with Marquis Heng or not, as long as he survives, he will not spare Qin Feng afterward!

If the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master were to lose the Immortal Divine Artifact, Qin Feng would not fear him, but if Marquis Heng also wanted to intervene and contend with him for treasures, he would truly be in great danger.

Various thoughts swept rapidly through Qin Feng's mind, and before he could make a decision, the giant hand in mid-air had already grasped onto the Netherworld Plate!

"Dare not? What would I dare not do?"

Marquis Heng's thick voice, as though rising from the depths of the earth, echoed: "I've just been too lazy to deal with you three usually, do you really think that by being one of the Four Great Forces alongside me, you can stand on equal footing with me?

Netherworld Sheep, you're nothing but a decrepit waste; if not relying on this broken Immortal Divine Artifact, would you be worthy to oversee the Innate Temple?

I was initially too lazy to bother with you, planning to retrieve the Netherworld Plate after you died of old age, but you wouldn't patiently wait for death and insisted on stirring trouble. In that case, I'll kill you first to prevent you from ruining my plans!"

"You..."

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master roared in fury while desperately manipulating the Netherworld Plate, struggling to break free from Marquis Heng's grasp, and simultaneously casting various astonishing spells to attack the giant hand.

He even cast spells to attack the ancient castle where Marquis Heng resided, attempting to strike at Marquis Heng's body to force him to let go!

Although this Netherworld Plate is somewhat damaged and the laws within are broken, it is after all still an Immortal Divine Artifact and is extremely important to him!

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master would rather abandon the Innate Temple and all his current forces than lose the Netherworld Plate!

He could seize territories anew, recruit other strong men to serve him again.

But if he lost his greatest reliance, he would fall to the bottom and only be one among many top divine spirits, nothing more than slightly stronger than average, but no longer able to suppress all four sides, nor take a core position!

Though this artifact is incomplete, merely patched up by him, the fact that Marquis Heng can suppress the Netherworld Plate with just one hand was truly shocking to him, making him realize how vast the gap was between him and Marquis Heng, that strong figure!

Determined immediately, he resolved to retrieve the Netherworld Plate and then flee from this place, seizing an opportunity to ambush Qin Feng, steal the life-extending divine medicine from him, and seek chances in other gathering places.

He never expected that in merely contending with this giant hand, although Marquis Heng's palm far exceeded his expectations in strength, there was still a possibility of breaking free with the deep resources he'd accumulated over the years and the power of the Netherworld Plate.

But when he attacked in the direction of the ancient castle, trying to assault Marquis Heng's body to force him to relent, he instead angered Marquis Heng!

With a loud rumble, a giant thousands of feet tall suddenly rose from the ancient castle, looming like an eternal mountain, his entire being suffused with a thick yellow glow.

The yellow glow on Marquis Heng's body flashed lightly, and the spells cast by the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master caused nothing more than a faint tremor in the glow, achieving no further effect!

"Roar..."

A desolate, dull, thunderous low roar erupted from Marquis Heng, causing the ears of countless beings throughout the gathering place to ring!

His gaze shot out two beams of yellow light, retracting quickly, yet the divine power within was frighteningly intense!

"Ignorant fool!"

On that enormous face of Marquis Heng, a hint of disdain emerged: "With just you, do you actually think you can fight me?

Is it not better to let me take the Netherworld Plate and be done with it, instead of courting death? Fine, as you wish!"

With those words, a thick, pervasive yellow glow split off from Marquis Heng, following his other giant hand, whapping at the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master!

The face of the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master changed wildly!

He had already exerted all his strength just contending with one of Marquis Heng's hands, and now that the real body of his opponent was revealed, he realized that Marquis Heng had indeed been casually challenging him before.

At this moment, regret filled his heart!

Marquis Heng had not appeared for countless years; even when the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master had taken over the Innate Temple and sought an audience, Marquis Heng hadn't bothered and had sent someone to dismiss him.

Originally, he thought that Marquis Heng, like him, was in a declining state, hence always staying secluded.

Now he understood that the man truly didn't regard him at all and couldn't be bothered to pay attention!

Boom...

Even though the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master had exerted all his strength, aside from devoting part of his spirit to maintain the operation of the Netherworld Plate and attempting to break free from another hand of Marquis Heng, he had already showcased his strongest war power. He condensed an extremely violent force with a wave of his hand to clash hard against the other's palm coming at him.

Then, his figure was sent flying!

With a loud crash, he directly shattered the Different Food Restaurant behind him and then tumbled through more than ten buildings before barely stabilizing his form.

And yet, it was not over!

Marquis Heng's palm turned slightly and again reached out to grasp his figure!

"Screech..."

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master roared, his form suddenly transforming into a gigantic goat towering several hundred feet!

However, this goat differed from regular sheep demons; it was covered in dark cyan scales, with cold Netherworld Fire shooting from its eyes, and its sharp fangs capable of tearing apart fierce tigers and biting through Divine Weapons!

With a loud bang, the massive Netherworld Sheep stomped violently on the ground with its four hooves, causing the earth along with surrounding buildings to be depressed dozens of feet deep by the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master!

After avoiding the palm strike from Marquis Heng, the Netherworld Sheep raised its horns high, surrounded by boundless Netherworld Fire, seemingly intending to break through the firmament, charging with an exceptionally violent momentum towards Marquis Heng's figure as if it were a Sky-Reaching Giant Pillar!

"How reckless!"

Marquis Heng snorted coldly, the palm he originally struck from afar suddenly withdrew at an indiscernible speed, then drew across in front of him, instantly conjuring a thick yellow radiance that stood between him and the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master.

With a bang, the yellow protective shield was shattered by the impact from the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master.

But that was all there was!

Before the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master could launch another attack, he suddenly felt an incredibly violent force hit him, knocking him to the ground!

Then, he felt an even more violent force as Marquis Heng's large foot stamped on his belly, nearly forcing his internal organs to be squeezed out through both his front and rear passages!

"Die for me!"

Marquis Heng suddenly abandoned the Netherworld Plate, releasing his grip and letting the Netherworld Plate break free, and then gripped the head of the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master with both hands, one hand clutching the sheep's head, the other grabbing its hind leg, while his big foot remained on the latter's belly. With a fierce tug of both arms, the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master screamed miserably as his body was torn into pieces by Marquis Heng!

Such a brutal scene directly stunned the strong experts around, making them remain silent in fear. Many had already retreated quietly, not daring to stand out in the open and watch, fearing they might be accidentally struck dead by Marquis Heng's giant hand!

"Ah..."

Blood sprayed everywhere, yet the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master was not dead.

His sheep's head, though held by Marquis Heng, suddenly burst forth with incredibly strong power. With a sharp-toothed mouth wide open, it spewed a blast of cyan Netherworld Fire onto Marquis Heng's hands, then struggled with determination.

Finding he could not break free from Marquis Heng's grip, a crack suddenly appeared between the Netherworld Fire blazing eyes on the sheep's head, where a mass of pitch-black soul wrapped with Divine Status attempted to escape.

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master was terrified in his heart; he hadn't lived enough. With his current realm, as long as he left the Abandoned Land and returned outside, it was possible for him to achieve immortality, and once successful, he could live on forever, so how could he willingly die here!

Thus, even with his physical body destroyed, he had to escape. As long as he found a chance to take over the physical body of another life, he might recover his strength!

The unbound Netherworld Plate was swiftly flying toward his soul; once reunited with the Netherworld Plate, its speed gave him a significant chance to escape.

But now, how could Marquis Heng possibly give him a chance to survive?

The Sky-Reaching Giant's form was enveloped in endless yellow light that transformed into a barrier, encompassing the entire gathering ground, blocking the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master's escape route.

Then, with a clap of both hands, he captured both the soul and Divine Status of the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master in his hands, grinding them like a millstone, forcefully crushing the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master's soul along with the Divine Status into fragments!

This scene was watched by countless experts, rendering the entire gathering ground deathly silent, with even the leaders of the other two Great Forces becoming obediently silent, not daring to move a muscle in their encampments!

Nobody had expected that the gap between top-level divine beings, both among the Four Great Forces, would be so vast!

They were certain that Marquis Heng had not advanced to the Immortal Realm!

Not only because it's fundamentally impossible to advance in the Abandoned Land, but also because if an Immortal Realm expert existed there, once news spread, it would undoubtedly provoke countless strong experts across the Abandoned Land to besiege!

There was no easier way to obtain Immortal Energy than from an Immortal Realm expert!

Despite their formidable power, Immortal Realm experts could never withstand the siege of thousands of Upper Divine Spirits!

Marquis Heng paid no mind to the terrified gazes cast upon him by the gathered life's forms, leisurely extending his hand to confiscate the Netherworld Plate, playing with it before flicking his finger and sending a few materials patched on by the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master flying off.

Obviously, he looked down on those supplementary treasures.

Then, unexpectedly, Marquis Heng's gaze fell upon Qin Feng.

This made Qin Feng tense up, fearing that this mighty expert also coveted his treasures.

Just as he was about to summon his mighty army of millions of spiritual beasts to prepare for forming the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation, focusing the Ancient Demon God true body, Marquis Heng nodded slightly: "Human Clan Cultivator, no need to worry, I won't be harmful to you!"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, not expecting Marquis Heng to speak such words.

However, he reacted quickly and promptly bowed: "Senior Marquis Heng, you know I am a Human Clan Cultivator?"

The Ten Thousand Worlds have many parts belonging to human life's forms, but the term Cultivator is exclusive to the Primordial Lineage's Human Clan. It is their own cultivation system!
