Chapter 495 : Rooted Out_1
Shadow Valley, concealed within the intangible, was a divine force that was extremely difficult to deal with.
But that wasn't even the toughest part. The most terrifying thing was that you couldn't find their hideout at all. Even their Celestial Gods didn't know where it was. They relied totally on the guidance of the Divine God of Shadow Valley.
What really brought them to fame was their Divine God's assault and killing of another Celestial God from an imperial force.
The imperial force was furious and sent out the elders for retaliation. However, despite their search, they were unable to locate their hideout, leaving them with no option but to depart in anger.
Legend had it that Shadow Valley had obtained a divine artifact nurtured by the original source of the Eternal World, establishing a close connection with the eternal void.
Deep within the void, torrents rolled on, countless dust-like particles surged, and within the millions of particles at this moment was an unobtrusive speck of light, even smaller than dust.
Within this speck of light was a surprisingly sizable space, like a mustard seed.
The superior beings of Shadow Valley, by utilizing this divine artifact, refined the laws of the void. Each of them was a top-tier assassin.
"Dawu... Humph! Their foundation is indeed not bad, but once they are fixated by our Shadow Valley, they will no longer live peacefully. If they dare not listen to us, let alone Dawu, even imperial forces would suffer a headache. Hehe, we will use every method to our advantage," one of them sneered.
Inside, it was as if in hell. Shrouded in shadow was an ancient and gloomy castle where a Celestial God was seated on a throne of skulls.
To be honest, what Shadow Valley wanted most was Dawu's warship.
That warship was incredibly useful as it could withstand the strikes of a Celestial God.
"Pay attention, monitor Dawu's movements at all times. The ninth elder has given them ten days to consider. Keep a close watch on them in the meantime. If they misbehave, teach them a lesson. Chop off a few heads. Anyhow, we should instill fear of Shadow Valley in them," the Celestial God ordered.
"Sir, our men have gathered information about Dawu. It doesn't seem like they will give in. Instead, they've rallied their entire army and have increased the frequency of warship patrols, becoming more cautious. They won't submit so easily."
Someone reported.
"The ninth elder has already anticipated this. They are stubborn, but it doesn't matter. We will attack day and night. Shadow Valley has numerous ways to make them submit," the celestial god, full of confidence, acknowledged the difficulty in dealing with Dawu but they didn't need to use common measures. They could resort to insidious sneak attacks behind the scenes.
Dare to leave the base?
The moment you step out, there is always the risk a butcher's knife will fall on you.
But then!
A column of flame suddenly enveloped the void before them, the glaze-colored fire pure and terrifying, bringing the spell of purging.
"What happened?"
The Celestial God, who was in hibernation, suddenly found the entire space invaded by a fiery red hue.
Looking up, he saw a terrifying blaze enveloping this place, intending to refine and destroy this little secret world.
"Not good, someone is deploying a Great Divine Power, refining the void, aiming to destroy this world. Who? Who could it possibly be?"
The Celestial God forcibly opened his eyes and saw an imposing figure!
He was expressionless, extremely merciless, swinging his arm to burn this space with fire.
Combining the fearsome image in his mind, he exclaimed, "Martial Emperor of Dawu, it's you!"
The sharp voice pierced through the void and reached Chu Yuan's ears.
"Raging Flames."
The anger Chu Yuan vented was his own!
The shadow valley mastered the void technique relatively well, but this wasn't their home territory, with the divine artifact providing suppression.
The whale-like Dao Kun of Void was the Void Overlord, using the power of the space as casually as eating and drinking, it had been travelling with Chu Yuan through the void, sensing the unusual fluctuations here.
Chu Yuan showed no interest in tracking each point of light individually. He directly employed his purging divine flame to refine and kill everything in his path.
"Run fast! The Martial Emperor has discovered our existence. We must report this to the ninth elder!"
The Celestial God watched the entire world on the verge of annihilation, terror as vast as the sky, and in an instant, he took all the people in this base with him. Implementing space transport, he sought to escape.
"Kill them!"
Intimidating and murderous... The Divine Army unsheathed their weapons, ready and roared, "Kill, Kill, Kill!"
There came a flash of sword light, the Celestial God's head twirling on the floor. Xu Dao cut off his head with one stroke, leaving the dying man not even closing his eyes.
When the Divine Army went into combat, they left no stone unturned, rooting out everything in their path. Every person inside was killed.
Their bodies were also refined by the divine furnace of heaven and earth, transforming into vast laws and energy.
"A wealth of resources."
Chu Yuan broke the base's defences and with a single sweep of his arm, countless resources piled up like a mountain before him.
He knew that this was plundered by Shadow Valley but now it all belonged to him.
"Your Majesty!"
The Flame Demon said: "Like a crafty hare has three burrows, the people of Shadow Valley are crafty. They have bases everywhere and their hands are hidden in every nearby void to closely monitor our every movement."
"Sweep them out, find one and leave none to spare. Kill all without pardon," Chu Yuan commanded.
At this time, the strength of Void Dao Kun, the Void Overlord, truly came into play, putting in a meritorious service for Dawu.
Utilizing its inherent void talents, it was capable of detecting unusual fluctuations hidden in the void. Once approximately certain about a location, Chu Yuan would use the purging divine flame to refine everything along the way, exposing these hidden insects.
What troubled Chu Yuan was the large number of locations Shadow Valley had set up around Dawu. It was simply bone-chilling.
True God bases, Celestial God bases, Celestial God bases, woven densely together, forming an intricate network for quick information transmission. Every tiny movement was under their surveillance.
Thankfully, Chu Yuan had Void Dao Kun. Otherwise, it would have been a real hassle digging them out.
After such a sweep, ten days went by.
In the boundless depths of the void, with no clue where it hid.
Here, too, was a speck of dust. Inside it, the space was filled with gloom, and a castle had been constructed.
"Ninth Elder, something big happened. We've lost contact with the bases we set up around Windfall City. Regardless of how we send messages, we're getting no replies. They seemed to have disappeared, like, permanently. As if they've been cleared out," someone reported.
The ninth elder was dressed in a shadow robe. Although he wasn't a Divine God, his cultivation was extremely profound and powerful. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
This region was his responsibility.
"A massive loss of bases. Someone is deliberately aiming for us. Is it the Martial Emperor?" The Ninth Elder immediately realized what was happening, his face turned cold. "I had heard that the Martial Emperor is domineering and arrogant and wouldn't comply so easily. Judging from the current situation, it seems true. Not only is he sweeping our bases, but he is also doing it incredibly fast.
How did he manage that?"
"Elder, there is a divine beast accompanying the Martial Emperor. After we carefully researched and compared, it turns out to be the Void Dao Kun, which has become an adult."
Someone at his side spoke.
"Damn it, an adult Void Dao Kun. That's why he was so quick in finding our bases. Void Dao Kun is intrinsically a Void Overlord, totally in tune with the infinite energy of space. An adult specimen is even rarer than a Divine God," the Ninth Elder's face changed as he commanded, "Gather all of our forces. We need a new plan!"
