Chapter 402 - Clash(Part-1)

"Would you stop humming the tune, Devil Emperor Jerthrar it is annoying."

"Aww come on fellow brother, it is nice and catchy."

"It was nice when I heard it for the first time, but not when you are going on and on for a million times it is really annoying and as for being catching I cannot even meditate as it is haunting me."

The bloodshot eyes of his fellow cultivator made his eyes shine with mirth as he turned around he saw every one of his fellow cultivators looking at him with anger in their eyes and as such with a heavy sigh he spoke, "Okay you all win.", his words were met with cheers as he gave a small pout.

"My Lord", a voice came to his ears as the cheering stop, he turned to see a cultivator leaning near him.

"Speak.", his words were like a Heavenly Decree that sends a shiver down the messenger's spine.

"My Lord, we have captured over ten thousand Deva realm cultivators although I am ashamed to say that a couple might have slipped through our grasp."

"Irrelevant, I have no time or patience to deal with them, tell every that we are moving onto the sixth level, oh and tell Kemec to gather a thousand of his strong men and be ready, I will send him to test those weaklings from Manushya realm, now if you have nothing to say you are dismissed."

The kneeling cultivator upon receiving his commands simply bowed as he left swiftly and gracefully. 

"Really what is there to test, those are weaklings."

"So what if I do not get toys to play with I would get bored."

"We have over ten thousand prisoners with us."

Jethro pouted again as he spoke like a petulant child, "There are so many of us and not enough toys."

The surrounding cultivators deadpanned at him as one of them spoke, "Devil Emperor Jerthrar, since when do we share things with others, those slaves belong to us, and as such you are plotting something."

Jethro smiled at them as he spoke, "Of course I am plotting something, our higher-ups ordered us to slaughter most of them and bring the rest back to our realm, and catching them with our superior number is boring, the thought of making them feel elated and confident that they would win and then suddenly reeling them in and capturing them would be orgasmic."

"Ah, I see now why you are sending that idiotic oaf."

"Yes, brother Azorgar, the oaf as you eloquently put him too is strong but at the same time a complete idiot and if they cannot even survive him then what are trash, really what kind of cultivators are they when less than nine hundred managed to reach up to this level, it only shows what kind of trash their realm is."

Meanwhile back at the archway that had to lead them to the next level, Zywia looked horrified upon seeing the large stone stele they had just stepped into the Sixth Level and was greeted by the large stone slab and contents of it made not only her but many of her fellow cultivator's blood run cold.

"How is this possible? I hope the worst-case scenario is not in front of us."

"So what are we going to do?"

"I hope we survive."

Ryuu himself stared with stone stele but unlike others ever since he had gotten 'Genesis', he had the sudden urge to dominate others, to prove himself the strongest and stand above others, and the thought of facing unknown danger made his blood boil with anticipation.

"Ryuu are you alright?"

"Why yes, I am?"

Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she spoke, "I do not know why but you had an excited look on your face."

Ryuu simply waved off at her as she spoke, "Must be the light, I was concerned and worried you know, who knows who won if only it were a bit more clear on this matter."

Frozen Ocean nodded at that as she agreed to him, who knows what had happened but it was clear that a war took place and one side lost heavily, as she looked at the stone stele as a shiver went down her spine.

Group I: 55,545

Group II: 10,523

Group III: 867

'So the larger group wiped out the smaller one with extreme prejudice, they only lost less than ten thousand but one the other hand the other side is only larger than ten thousand.'

'Big sisters always told me with extreme distaste once how the Deva realm was filled with highly egoistic pompous idiots and the Preta was filled with ruthless bastards who would do anything and everything to achieve their goal and I hope the Deva won.'

He cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention as he spoke, "Everyone we will not actively engage them, we will try to find out who they are and keep a distance from them if they are Deva they might not attack us actively but Preta is different, we will try to create inner turmoil amongst them and if I am not wrong they are highly paranoid and if they kill each other then it is better, secondly we would use guerilla tactics and deal with them, it would be easier and efficient."

"Oh one more thing, I vote we move from here as fast as possible."

True-Spear frowned for a moment before he spoke with a nod, "Yes you are right we….", as he spoke the archway began to glow again as his eyes widen.

"Damn it, everyone run, run as we did in the second level if you wish to live.", Ryuu bellowed out as every cultivator ran as if the Nine Netherworld Bašmu has returned to prey on them."

Jethro stepped inside the sixth level as he surveyed the area, they were inside a caldera, before his eyes fell on the ground as he grinned viciously, he before he bellowed out loud, "Get me Kemec now!"

Meanwhile, Ryuu's group flew as fast as they could, their heart pounding with fear, anxiety and uncertainty, as they moved Ryuu had his left hand covering his left eye with a talisman a few seconds later he let out a curse.

Frost Flames who was nearby spoke with a frown on her face, "Ryuu what happened? Why are you cursing?"

Ryuu would not say it out loud but he was impressed at Frost Flames as she managed to keep up with his speed, even though he was not going all out, unlike others who looked a bit strained, he let out a sigh as he spoke, "It seems that the Deva lost, and Preta have won."

His words send a chill down on most of the cultivator's spine, as their worst fear took place, Ryuu meanwhile let out a loose laugh startling many as he destroyed the talisman.

"Is everything alright?"

Ryuu sends Frost Flames a grin as he spoke, "Yes everything is alright, I had left an array to spy on the newcomers and it seemed that my array was detected by one of their cultivators, I look forward to clashing with him, and on another note, he seems to be sending out a hunting party."

Amnon frowned at that as he spoke, "Hunting Party?"

Ryuu nodded as he continued, "Just like we are aware of them, they must also be aware of our plight and as such I believe they are sending someone to deal with us, so it is high time we go into hiding.", a notion that every one of them shared.
