Chapter 1979 - 1937: The Frenzied Asura

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had predicted, Asura brought over nine thousand Yin gods, and was now entering the Ancient Immortal Realm. The vast emptiness of the Ancient Immortal Realm puzzled them greatly. Such a huge world with billions of living beings, which should have been bustling and lively, was now as silent as a graveyard. The Yin gods were filled with doubt and immediately released their divine sense to investigate...

The divine sense of the Yin gods could cover tens of thousands of miles. After some investigation, they were even more puzzled, as they found nothing at all. Within a range of tens of thousands of miles, the wilderness was deserted, almost no living beings existed.

"This, what on earth is going on?" Asura said, somewhat angrily.

"Great Asura, could it be that the people of this Ancient Immortal Realm got the news, knew we were going to sweep through them, and have fled to other planes?"

"Hmm? Who leaked the news?" Asura's fierce eyes swept across the Yin gods, showing suspicion while his voice carried fury.

"No, we didn't." The Yin gods said in panic, all speaking up.

"Great Asura, instead of dwelling on suspicion here, why not search further? Even if all the living beings in the Ancient Immortal Realm have migrated, there should still be evil spirits around. Catch one and ask, and everything will be clear..." Rouge Demon Princess suggested.

At this moment, she was also very uneasy, because she was the one who leaked the news and she was aware that Wang Xiaoqiang had already arrived at the Nine Netherworlds. However, what she hadn't expected was Wang Xiaoqiang bringing all the billions of living beings of the Ancient Immortal Realm to the Nine Netherworlds.

Asura nodded and instructed... "Hmm, makes sense. Go, eight people, pair off into groups, head towards the four directions: east, south, west, and north to search for me. Whether human clan or beast race, orthodox or evil spirit, as long as they can speak, if you find them, must bring them back..."

"Yes." Instantly, there were eight Yin gods, dividing into four pairs, heading towards the four directions: east, south, west, and north to search.

After quite some time, the two Yin gods heading south brought back an evil spirit. The evil spirit looked extremely peculiar, neither like a beast nor a demon, neither a monster nor a human, its body sometimes turned into light smoke, then condensed into a solid form. When it became light smoke, it was like a phantom; when it condensed into a solid form, it was so ugly as to be unsightly. The evil spirit's cultivation base wasn't strong and under the control of the Yin gods, it couldn't escape, appearing extremely fearful.

Asura sized up the evil spirit, a look of disgust in his eyes, turned his gaze aside and shouted, "Speak, where are the people of the Ancient Immortal Realm and the beast race? Where have they all gone?"

Seeing Asura, the evil spirit dared not turn into smoke and remained in its solid form. It stammered, "All, all migrated."

Asura's expression shifted, his gaze returned to the evil spirit, and asked, "Migrated? Migrated where?"

Under Asura's gaze, the evil spirit grew more terrified, its voice trembling, "I heard, I heard they went to the Nine Netherworlds..."

"The Nine Netherworlds? Nonsense. The Nine Netherworlds is our Yin gods' domain; how could the cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm dare tread there...?" Asura glared furiously, shouting.

Intimidated by Asura's roar, the evil spirit shivered but still said, "Before the Great God, Little Ling dares not lie. Moreover, Little Ling harbors irreconcilable hatred with the human clan and beast race, and has no need to conceal for them, right?"

"Hmm? What it says is reasonable," one of the Threefold of Divinity Yin gods spoke, "These evil spirits are not accepted by humans and beast races, regarded as outsiders, and are always their targets for slaughter. Moreover, during the human clan's migration, they didn't take these evil spirits along; this is great discrimination, so they must hold resentment against the human clan."

Asura nodded upon hearing this and asked again, "Speak, who led the migration, and how did it happen?"

"Reported to the Great God, it was the Heavenly King Wang Xiaoqiang, using a Storage Ring," the evil spirit said, "Using the Storage Ring to carry..."

"What? Storage Ring? One person, carrying billions of living beings?" Asura and all the Yin gods were stunned, "One person using a Storage Ring to carry billions of living beings, what audacity he has. If that person dies, then billions of living beings will be trapped in the Storage Ring, ultimately stifled to death..."

"This Wang Xiaoqiang dares proclaim himself as Heavenly King? One person daring to carry billions of living beings to the Nine Netherworlds, impressive indeed..." Asura shook his head and laughed, suddenly clenching both fists, shaking them forcefully, causing a hundred meters of ground to crumble instantaneously, like a massive earthquake. The evil spirit was caught in the impact and exploded, scattering into a mess of green blood and flesh, staining the ground, and smelling foul.

Now, Asura's expression had changed to one of frustration, like deranged fury, he shouted madly, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you little runt, I will have you torn limb from limb..."

All the Yin gods were terrified, silent, not daring to speak further.

After quite a while, one shouted in suspicion, "Wait, don't you all remember that Miao Zhu, with that little Earth Immortal, isn't that little guy Wang Xiaoqiang...?"

As soon as the words fell, another Yin god immediately dismissed, "Impossible. Though I haven't seen Wang Xiaoqiang, I have heard of him. Wang Xiaoqiang has a Lightning Mark on his brow and is of Sun God Level; that little Earth Immortal couldn't possibly be him."

This matter was only known to Rouge Demon Princess, but naturally she wouldn't speak up, for if she did, she would meet the same fate.

Asura squinted his eyes, feeling extremely pent-up with anger, shouted, "What's the use of talking about this now, Wang Xiaoqiang has led the billions of living beings of the Ancient Immortal Realm into the Nine Netherworlds, it's like a cuckoo occupying the nest, understand?"

All the Yin gods hung their heads, disheartened.

"Great Asura, the Nine Nether Underworld has Zhuu Jiuyin Grand Deity guarding it, surely Wang Xiaoqiang won't be able to breach that, and will have to retreat with nothing gained. We'll just wait here..." one Yin god suggested.

Asura roared, "You know nothing! Since Wang Xiaoqiang dared to break into the Nine Netherworlds, he must be aware of our situation and confident. Otherwise, he wouldn't have migrated a whole plane."

No Yin gods dared speak further, after quite a while, another Yin god said, "Great Asura, this matter could be both bad and good for us. Since Wang Xiaoqiang brought a whole plane into the Nine Netherworlds, it's as if sending them to us. We just need to return to the Nine Netherworlds, kill Wang Xiaoqiang, annihilate the living beings of the Ancient Immortal Realm, seize their treasures and pills, and capture their souls. Saves a lot of effort, wouldn't you say?"

"Hmm? Makes sense," Asura's eyes shifted, then his expression hardened as he swept his eyes across the Yin gods, "You all hear the command, follow me to the Nine Netherworlds, kill Wang Xiaoqiang, and slaughter all the billions of living beings in the Ancient Immortal Realm, capture their souls and refine a Divine Core..."

"Yes." All the Yin gods responded in unison, then followed Asura, returning to the Nine Netherworlds.
