Chapter 1123 Death World
1123 Death World
After Wang Wei's departure, Xu Shi rushed to the Star World Beast World Community, even making a show entrance. She headed directly to Ji Lanfang's prison to free him, almost killing the Void Mirror Emperor. Then, the two began a mindless slaughter.
Not long after their actions, news about the Fate Shadow Guards's actions was transmitted to the battlefield, shocking many people. All the surviving powerhouses had one thought - they must return home to protect their lineage or foundation. As such, these people began to rush out of the battlefield, making everything chaotic.
Deng Qiang tried to control the situation, but it was pointless. These people cared more about their homeworld than this battlefield, especially since a majority of them were more "allies" of commerce than direct subordinates.
Tie Gang and the War Room would not miss such an opportunity and ordered the few remaining troops to counterattack. The powerhouses on Wang Wei's side went on a field day as they began to massacre those retreating people with low morale.
Commerce Hub Headquarters:
Wang Wei calmly watched everything proceeding, his eyes focusing on a specific group of people. They were the first to receive the news and quickly retreated as they sensed the plot behind this war.
'It's time,' thought Wang Wei, who no longer hesitated before swallowing an Illusory Pill, temporarily reaching the strength of an Empyrean. Then, he started to follow the people of the Corpse Selling Sect. The process was as easy as he anticipated.
These people scattered in different directions, each headed to the real "Headquarters." Moreover, each of these decoys was located in different World Communities, in extreme places, in well-hidden dimensions, and there were so many identification methods that made the security level a nightmare.
Wang Wei was almost discovered a few times since he had to use his divination when he lost the main trail, and the Corpse Selling Sect had terrifying Anti-Divination Abilities that used the power of Death. However, the one mistake these people, or their founder, Death Reverence, could not account for was human error.
No matter how good of a job Death Reverence did to hide the real foundation of his sect, it would not change the fact that humans were using them, and as we all know, humans are flawed. Wang Wei used this concept to his advantage; he was patient and chose his move carefully. His actions were then rewarded. During this chase, he found most of the hidden layers of the Corpse Selling Sect before finding the real one.
"What is this?" muttered Wang Wei, his eyes concentrated. His eyes discovered a well-hidden dimension, and after finding it, saying he was shocked to his core would be an understatement. The dimension was vast and definitely bigger than the entire lower dimension. Wang Wei was not too sure because he knew he would immediately be detected if he entered.
'Worst, I might be killed.' His sense of danger was going overdrive, so he did not dare rush in. 'Could it be that Death Reverence would show up if I venture inside and destroy this place? No, Death Reverence was still in Limbo, and even if he were already resurrected, True Heavenly Dao would never allow for his interference. Even if we achieved Half-Step Transcendence, Maitreya and Supreme Unity would never allow him to interfere in this place.'
This could only mean the source of the danger was something else, most likely the terrifying amount of Death Energy in that world. The Corpse Selling Sect must have gathered this energy from wars and conflicts across the entire lower dimensions for countless eras before condensing them in this world.
Wang Wei frowned, "Are you saying I'm overthinking and that thing is just a normal world full of death energy?"
"No, you're not," replied Chen Tong. "After the Ultimate Taboo, I suddenly had the idea to investigate and did so." Chen Tong paused. "Well, I know I detected something in that world, but I don't know what it is."
"You don't know? As in your knowledge could not identify it or..."
"My memories were wiped out," Chen Tong explained.
"Hmm, that is odd." These words reinforced his thought that Death Reverence changed or improved after the Ultimate Taboo.
But is Death Reverence so capable? I assumed you were a peak Paragon, even if not Boundless. But he can so easily wipe your memory?"
"No, the process was weird, and definitely not only because his strength surpasses mine."
"You have a point," nodded Wang Wei, who did not completely buy Chen Tong's explanation as the latter might be adding stuff to make him look better and protect his pride.
"Well, thank you for answering my question."
"Are you going to destroy it?"
"That's the plan," nodded Wang Wei.
"You should be more careful. Although I've only met Death Reverence twice, he always gave me the creeps."
"I will," nodded Wang Wei, his eyes focused as he watched Chen Tong disappear. 'This man is not simple.' From what he knew and deduced, people in Limbo should not be able to interact so easily and freely with the world of the living. Meanwhile, Chen Tong acted as if he was a projection of a genuine body instead of an existence between life and death.
"Sect master," said Wang Ju, who appeared in the room.
"How was the operation?"
