Chapter 228 - Seven Kings Council

Chapter 228: Seven Kings Council

Standing at the peak of Qin Chuan, looking at the mountains and rivers, there were a thousand things to do.

After this calamity, it would be difficult for the Eastern Wasteland to recover in a hundred or even a thousand years.

Darkness had already swept across the ground. The aura of decay circled around the mysterious lands of the Eastern Wasteland, gradually forming a forbidden area. In the swamp of death, under the decaying darkness, seven strange giants dressed in black robes sat around a round table. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. In the strange and chaotic world, they were the highest authority.

After an unknown period of silence, a strange giant slowly stood up and looked around at the other six giants. “How laughable. The invincible King Chao Feng actually died in such a weak and lowly small world. What a disgrace to our clan!”

Another strange giant gently knocked on the table and said thoughtfully, “When Chao Feng died, I could feel the changes in his heart before he died. He was in despair. His soul was shattered by someone with a sword and he died in pain. It’s hard to imagine that someone can defeat Chao Feng in such a world.”

“So what?” The strange giant from before shouted angrily and said fiercely, “No matter who the other party is, there’s only one outcome waiting for him for daring to kill my vanguard general, and that is death…”

No one said anything. Another strange giant analyzed indifferently. “Chao Feng is so conceited and complacent. He always looks like an insufferably arrogant fellow. I’ve long expected him to fail. But what I can’t figure out is that no matter how arrogant Chao Feng is, he shouldn’t have lost so badly. Who is the other party? What methods does he have…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other giants fell silent and thought for an unknown period of time.

A giant sitting in the main seat slowly said, “Darkness has already enveloped this land. We should be able to completely control this world in a few days. Who would have thought that such a human expert would suddenly appear? It’s a little troublesome. Because of his appearance, the other human cultivators everywhere fought back and gradually condensed into a powerful resistance.

“From Yunmeng Lake to the Heavenly Lake, various Holy Lands and human forces have joined this resistance. Our army has suffered repeated losses. If this continues, it will be disadvantageous to us.”

After his analysis, the other giants immediately thought of the key point of this matter.

With a raise of his hand, the image of the Eastern Wasteland appeared in the dark room. After playing to the most core point, a strange giant pointed at a mountain in the middle.

“Qin Chuan!”

......

Everyone’s gazes were also pulled to Qin Chuan, looking at the towering mountain.

A strange giant said, “At this moment, the situation in the Eastern Wasteland has completely collapsed. Under this pressure, the mentality of ordinary people has long collapsed. It’s the same in all the previous worlds, but this place seems different. It’s as if there’s a mysterious power, or faith, in their hearts that’s supporting them and making them fight to the end.

“This faith seems insignificant, but it often exerts unimaginable power in the most desperate moments. It can turn the situation around in an instant.”

One of the strange creatures smiled evilly and said, “So? What do you want to say…”

“So…” The strange giant pondered for a moment and said, “The most important point is to break the situation. It’s to destroy their faith and let them fall into despair. They will open their hearts and welcome the darkness…”

After saying that, he gently tapped his finger on Qin Chuan’s location on the map. In an instant, the map phantom turned into countless fragments and shattered.

“Haha… Interesting! So we make people lose hope and sink into despair? That sounds like fun.”

As soon as the giant finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present lit up and they placed their gazes on Qin Chuan. That was the place where Chao Feng died in battle. It was also the only place that could arouse their interest.

What kind of scene would it be when the seven kings gathered at Qin Chuan?

They were not here to kill, but to recruit more experts who had willingly given up on themselves and fallen to the darkness. To fight for their so-called True Lord and expand their territory.

Of course, before the recruitment, there would be an elimination round. If you wanted to fall into the darkness, you had to be qualified to survive. Only those who survived were qualified to be devoured by the strange origin.

Moreover, that Lord of Strangeness had previously experienced a bloody battle in the heavens and was injured. He was still recuperating on the other side. He needed a lot of blood to replenish his injuries.

This was also the reason why they came to the Eastern Wasteland.

Smack!

With a bang on the table, the peak-level powerhouse slowly stood up from the main seat. A strange smile appeared on that strange face as he said, “In that case, the seven of us will personally meet this so-called human expert. Perhaps he has the right to be one of us.”

“Haha… Seven against one. Isn’t that a little bullying? No matter what, we are still a high and mighty god race. Do we need to attack together when facing an ant-like existence?” A strange giant said disdainfully. He wasn’t afraid of Ye Qiu, who could kill Chao Feng. There was nothing strange about a guy like Chao Feng, who was arrogant and complacent, being killed. If he has the ability, try me?

Hearing his arrogant words, everyone sneered at him. This guy had the same temperament as Chao Feng. He was just as complacent and arrogant, but he didn’t think so himself. He even felt that he and Chao Feng weren’t on the same path. His arrogance was because he was really capable, while Chao Feng liked to pretend.

How could he have known that in the hearts of everyone present, he and Chao Feng were the same?

A strange giant sneered. “Chao Luo, arrogance will only make you follow in the footsteps of Chao Feng. Do you really think that Chaofeng was too arrogant and lost to that person?”

Another strange giant also said, “Chao Feng is indeed arrogant usually, but he’s the most stable person among us. He is very cautious in every battle. No matter who his opponent is or how strong they are, he will leave behind a backup plan in case of emergencies. It’s the same in all previous battles, big and small. Only this time, he failed.

“It can be seen how terrifying the other party’s strength is. If you insist on courting death, we won’t stop you. Go ahead and try…”

Hearing his mockery, Chao Luo was furious. “Hmph! An opponent that Chao Feng can’t defeat doesn’t mean that I can’t defeat him either. Since you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see if I can take him down!”

As he spoke, he left angrily. Clearly, he was enraged. He had always looked down on Chao Feng, but now, he was compared to him by his colleagues. He was very unhappy. He had to prove himself.

The other giants looked at each other and smiled as they watched him leave.

“Boss! Why don’t we let this guy test the other party’s methods first and see how capable he is…” A strange giant suggested.

The peak-level giant in the lead nodded, even though this was very immoral. However, in the eyes of the Strange Clan, there were only benefits and no so-called friendship. As long as he could win, anyone could be sacrificed, even himself.

“Okay!”

After thinking for a moment, the peak-level powerhouse waved his hand, and an even stronger black aura instantly spread out. The entire forbidden area was instantly covered in darkness and fell into a dead zone.

All living beings within a hundred miles were instantly devoured and turned into puppets of strange origin. In less than a moment, a powerful strange army suddenly set off. They appeared outside the forbidden area and attacked in Qin Chuan’s direction.

At the same time, above Qin Chuan, after killing Chao Feng, Ye Qiu came to Heavenly Ridge and told Qi Wuhui some things. At the same time, he strengthened Qin Chuan’s barrier. He had a feeling that an even more terrifying battle was about to arrive. He needed to be fully prepared before that.

“Junior Brother, who is the Lord of Strangeness that that strange giant mentioned just now?” After dealing with some trivial matters, Qi Wuhui finally couldn’t help but ask curiously.

He had listened carefully just now. There was a Lord of Strangeness above him. Now that this Chao Feng was so difficult to deal with, what would happen if that Lord of Strangeness’s true body descended into the Eastern Wasteland?

Qi Wuhui did not dare to think about it, so he was naturally very nervous.

Ye Qiu shook his head at the mention of Lord of Strangeness and said, “I don’t know either. I think he should be an expert above the Martial Monarch realm.”

“What!” Ming Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale. A King-Ranked powerhouse was already so despairing. If another Martial Monarch appeared, would there still be hope in the world?

Seeing her so flustered, Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry. This world is restricted by the order of the Heavenly Dao. If an immortal from the heavens comes to this world, their realm will be restricted, suppressed to the point where they can only unleash the strength of a Martial Monarch realm expert. If he dares to come, I will definitely let him die here…”

Ye Qiu revealed a meaningful smile. Killing a Martial Monarch was enough to brag for a year. Wouldn’t he brag for a lifetime if he killed an immortal? So what if he was an immortal? As long as he dared to descend into this world, Ye Qiu would have a chance to kill him.

This was definitely not bragging.

Now, Ye Qiu has already mastered the Cursive Sword Art. Moreover, during his seclusion, he had comprehended the laws of the heavens and vaguely had the opportunity to comprehend the fourth sword technique.

In terms of combat strength alone, Ye Qiu was definitely not inferior to anyone. He had a chance to defeat even Tianmeng. However, the other party had the Regenerative Bone. Unless Ye Qiu could instantly destroy her Regenerative Bone, she could instantly activate it and undergo nirvana again.

This was also the reason why Ye Qiu said that he wasn’t confident. This was because if he used the third strike, he would be seriously injured. That was a battle of life and death. Even if he used all the Resurrection Pills, Ye Qiu only had nine chances.
