The soul storm that was more blazing than the sun finally dissipated, and the originally devastated star field seemed to have been purified in some way. All the gaps in the space were smoothed and became dark and deep again.
However, within this 10,000-mile range, there is only one solitary Long Live Mountain, so clean that not even a particle of nebula dust can be seen.
Gao Wenyuan didn't know when his soul had dispersed. He stood on the top of the mountain, still dressed in white. From the outside, he didn't seem to have any injuries at all. Only in the deep eyes could he find a hint of fatigue. .
All around, Yanshan Duke Han Chi, Tuodonghou, Zhaoyuanhou, Yongyehou and Lieguhou had also lost their "colossus" form, and everyone's expressions were uncertain.
The fall of Duke Tianning and Marquis Qin Zhao undoubtedly deeply stimulated their hearts.
At this time, except for Yong Yehou and Yanshan Gongshang who maintained their initial oppressive fighting positions, the other three subconsciously retreated a lot.
Even they knew that Gao Wenyuan's mental power would be almost exhausted after that huge explosion, and there would no longer be the threat it had before.
To destroy two top princes in one fell swoop, Shen Qian's killing of their clones was only a straw, while Gao Wenyuan's effort was the foundation.
Han Chi was angry in his heart, but at this time he was also riding a tiger that was hard to get off.
Once strong, then weak.
Although they still had an advantage in numbers at this time, and their losses were not as great as Gao Wenyuan's, the death of two princes in an instant had shaken everyone's determination to fight to the death.
And with Gao Wenyuan's strength, he is definitely far from being vulnerable.
In this level of battle, as long as someone has the intention to back down, it is impossible to win again.
In other words, at this point in the battle, the situation has been irreversibly reversed.
Even Han Chi had doubts about whether Gao Wenyuan could be kept.
But unfortunately, now that the battle has begun, they have no way out.
Two princes have already died. Is it possible to say to Gao Wenyuan, "It's all a misunderstanding" and then retreat?
If we don't kill Gao Wenyuan today, we will face more than one Gao Wenyuan tomorrow, and Wu Wei's group of princes are not vegetarians either.
Zhaoyuan Hou and others did not understand this truth, but understanding it was one thing, and it was another thing for Tianning Gong and Qin Zhaohou to live and die in front of everyone.
Qin Zhaohou was okay, after all, he rose to power after the spiritual energy was revived, but Tianning Gong was a veteran prince who had lived for who knows how long, and it had a particularly great impact on them.
Warriors are not afraid of life and death, but it does not mean that they are transcendent from life and death. As for any intelligent creature, no one can care about life and death.
"There is a destiny in the dark. If you kill my disciple, you will die because of my disciple. If you are not so big-hearted, maybe everything will be different."
Gao Wenyuan had already guessed the reason for the sudden situation of Duke Tianning and others at this time. He smiled indifferently and seemed to find it quite interesting.
Han Chi was silent but didn't say anything. He seemed to be struggling with something in his eyes.
The smile on Gao Wenyuan's face gradually disappeared. He seemed to feel something and couldn't help but frown.
"Your 'Tao Heart' is wavering." Gao Wenyuan said doubtfully.
Han Chi took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind, "I'm sorry, Wenyuan."
Marquis Zhaoyuan and others were all at a loss. They didn't know why Han Chi suddenly apologized to Gao Wenyuan, but Gao Wenyuan shrank, and his expression suddenly became extremely cold.
"Han Chi, do you know what your behavior means?" Gao Wenyuan showed a rare sharp look.
"I know." Han Chi said calmly, "If I kill you, it can still be attributed to the internal struggle of the human race. This is a Taoist struggle. Even if you lose, there is still hope that we are still alive, but if...then... It means that I have completely betrayed the human race."
"I, Gao Wenyuan, am ashamed to stand with you!"
Gao Wenyuan said coldly.
"From today on, I, Han Chi, will no longer call myself a human race...but you can rest assured that if possible, I will leave a trace of incense for the human race."
In the second half of Han Chi's words, his voice became so soft that only Gao Wenyuan could hear it.
Gao Wenyuan didn't respond, he just raised his head and looked into the depths of the starry sky, where something was floating towards him.
As the distance got closer, Marquis Zhaoyuan and others finally woke up and turned their heads to look.
It was a cloak and a crown.
The cloak has a colorful base and is embroidered with various inexplicable mysterious symbols. The crown is pitch black and dotted with five-color gems.
Their appearance is mottled, their aura is ancient and evil, and their crowns float just above the cloaks, as if an invisible person is wearing them.
Some princes present knew these two things, and some did not. But even the princes who did not recognize them recognized something from the familiar aura.
"Witch Clan?"
Marquis Zhaoyuan was even more confused.
Although the strong men of the Wu Clan also participated in the hunt for "Xuehai", it has never been heard that the Wu Clan will also participate in the Starry Sky War.
"Witch King, long time no see."
Gao Wenyuan had calmed down at this time. He stared under the crown, as if there was a face that only he could see.
When they heard Gao Wenyuan's title, except for Han Chi, who had already known it, and kept calm, everyone else's expressions changed drastically.
The Witch King?
That is the oldest emperor-level powerhouse in the legend!
In the era when she still existed, the human race had not even been conceived, and the Witch Clan had not been divided at that time. Among the known emperor-level experts, only the Demon King was barely of the same era as him.
All Buddhas and Emperors are absolute juniors in front of her.
But Gao Wenyuan knew better. Even his master, the Demon King, was actually not as old as this being.
It is said that the Witch King is a powerful person who existed during the Chaos Period, which can be traced back to the period of Nuwa and Pangu.
The Witch King unexpectedly revived...
This is definitely news that is enough to shock all races.
Marquis Yongye and others couldn't help but glance at the silent Han Chi.
At this time, they finally understood what the previous conversation between him and Gao Wenyuan meant.
Their siege on Gao Wenyuan could be attributed to an internal fight among the human race, but when Han Chi invited the Witch King out, the nature of the matter completely changed.
They will all be labeled as traitors, just like Tuodong Hou who is present. This is a stain that cannot be washed away.
No wonder Han Chi's heart was shaken. With his pride, if he really had no other choice, it would probably not be the case.
The faces of Yong Yehou and others were also burning at this moment.
Although it is absolutely impossible for Gao Wenyuan to stop the Witch King, it is not a humiliation for them.
"Gao Wenyuan...the demon king's eldest disciple...long time no see..."
A thin voice of vicissitudes of life seemed to resound in the hearts of everyone. The Witch King had obviously not spoken for a long time, and his tone was a bit difficult.
"This is the relic of the Gansha King...I see, I understand."
Gao Wenyuan had been looking at the crown and cloak, and suddenly chuckled, "If the Witch King knows the truth, I'm afraid he will never think of resuscitating you, right?"
Han Chi was stunned, and everyone else was also confused.
"Although you have cultivated the Soul Dharma, you were too seriously injured when you fell. It is difficult to wake you up with ordinary methods. Only with your direct bloodline and the realm of the Martial King, can it be possible to carry your will to revive, but at a cost Yes... the Gansha King himself will disappear forever."
Gao Wenyuan sighed.
The others suddenly woke up and looked a little weird.
Obviously, it turned out that this is how the Witch King died... It was equivalent to sacrificing himself to awaken the ancestor of the Witch Clan. Several Witch Kings had long known the price, and they must have given up the idea of resurrecting the Witch King.
How could a peerless person who could cultivate to the realm of King Wu tolerate being used as a container for others?
Not to mention the ancestor, not even the biological father!
"So what about King Wu... Before I reach the imperial realm, I can't protect the Witch Clan..."
The Witch Emperor said calmly.
"You are not here. It seems that you have not fully recovered." Gao Wenyuan seemed to have discovered something at this time, and narrowed his eyes.
"That's enough."
The Witch King did not deny it, but just uttered three words.
The next second, the cloak suddenly expanded and turned into a huge curtain that covered the sky, covering Gao Wenyuan and the Long Live Mountain together.
Han Chi and others evaded one after another, fearing that they would be "accidentally" affected by the Witch King.
Although they temporarily cooperated with the Witch Clan, the Witch King accidentally killed two of them, and even King Zhou Yi might not be able to say anything.
At the moment when the cloak was covering him, there seemed to be a bright golden light flashing through it, but he didn't know if it was Gao Wenyuan who once again displayed his soul dharma.
Han Chi and others were a little regretful. They originally wanted to watch the moves of the emperor-level powerhouse, but all the confrontations inside were covered by the cloak. Except that the cloak could be seen sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking, nothing else could be seen. .
Until a certain moment, the crown that was originally floating quietly suddenly turned into a towering figure, suppressing it on the cloak, and all the movement finally subsided.
Han Chi, who had a complicated expression, sensed the breath between heaven and earth and confirmed that there was no trace of Gao Wenyuan left. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Is he dead?"
Marquis Yongye and others also looked at the Witch King nervously, or rather followed Han Chi's gaze into nothingness... They had no idea where the Witch King was.
Now that it has come to this point, no one hopes that Gao Wenyuan can survive, and there will be endless troubles.
After all, the plan to hunt Shen Qian has most likely gone bankrupt. If Gao Wenyuan is not dead, then the joke will be big.
"Dead...but there is something wrong..."
The husky voice of the Witch King resounded throughout the universe, no longer in the form of sound transmission.
"What do you mean?" Han Chi frowned.
"Gao Wenyuan's soul has been torn apart by me... I originally wanted to keep his body, but his body dissolved itself..."
The Witch King spoke.
"Isn't this strange? After the souls of many strong men who specialize in soul cultivation dissipate, their bodies will dissolve themselves."
Tuodong Hou was startled.
The other princes also nodded. After all, for this type of strong man, the soul is their foundation, and they do not want their body to be humiliated by the enemy again, so once the soul is gone, the body will often disintegrate.
"There's something wrong with his soul's appearance...it's not perfect..."
"What does 'imperfection' mean? Please ask the Witch King to explain it clearly."
Han Chi asked in a deep voice.
"The nine mental restraints are equivalent to the immortality of the soul... But one of his Dharma images, the nine 'eyes of analysis', is fake and missing..."
The Witch King was silent for a while, and tried his best to describe it in a language that a few people could understand, "If his appearance is perfect, even if I want to really kill him, it will take a lot of effort..."
"You mean, Gao Wenyuan is not actually the 'top'?" Han Chi asked in astonishment, "He is actually one step behind?"
"That's a possibility."
The Witch King responded, "There is a second possibility, that is, he took the initiative to remove one of his analytical eyes, which is why he was in this state."
"But why would he do this?"
"There is no reason... so I prefer the first possibility. The second possibility is too small. No one will do such a move... There is no point except weakening oneself..."
The Witch Emperor said calmly.
Marquis Yong Ye and others were relieved when they heard this, but at the same time they felt chills all over their bodies.
With one against eight, Gao Wenyuan, who single-handedly killed three top princes, is not the best?
If he was the real pinnacle, how would they survive today?
Only Han Chi remained silent for a long time, his brows furrowed.
I don't know why, maybe because of his understanding of Gao Wenyuan, or some kind of intuition in his heart, Han Chi was leaning towards the second possibility.
"Assuming it is the second one, does it mean... Gao Wenyuan is not dead yet?"
Han Chi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes... but I can confirm that Gao Wenyuan's soul has dispersed... I used the secret method of the witch clan to search the cause and effect, and searched the universe. Gao Wenyuan has no trace in this world."
The Witch King said firmly.
Hearing what the Witch King said, Han Chi's inner uneasiness finally dissipated a lot.
The soul secret method of the Witch Clan is even older. As a strong man who cultivates spiritual power, if Gao Wenyuan really has any back-up plan, he should not be able to hide it from the higher-level Witch King.
"Something happened here...the Emperor is gone..."
The Witch King said, removing the cloak and crown that still shrouded Long Live Mountain.
Boom!
At the moment when the cloak was removed, Long Live Mountain, which had always been calm, suddenly began to tremble violently. The mysterious runes engraved on Long Live Mountain for a long time actually began to disappear one by one.
】
"Witch King, you..."
Seeing this scene, Han Chi and others' expressions changed drastically.
The ban on Long Live Mountain that has lasted for tens of millions of years is collapsing!
"I took action once, and I should have gained something... The ban on Long Live Mountain is interesting, so I took it away to study..." came the indifferent voice of the Witch Emperor.
"But if you do this, you will release all the strong men imprisoned inside!" Han Chi said angrily.
"That's your human race's problem...it has nothing to do with me...hahahaha..."
The Witch King laughed loudly, his voice drifting far away.
"Asshole!"
Han Chi's face turned ugly. He saw ancient and powerful auras beginning to awaken in Long Live Mountain, but he didn't know who he was scolding.
Although they besieged and killed Marquis Jingcheng in Long Live Mountain, they never thought of destroying the seal from the beginning to the end.
After all, those suppressed inside were all enemies of the human race for thousands of years, and they were extremely numerous.
Once these beings are released, it will definitely be a devastating disaster for the human race.
"Mr. Yanshang, what should we do now?" Marquis Zhaoyuan asked eagerly.
"Walk!"
Han Chi's face was gloomy. Hearing this, he said without hesitation, "With so many powerful Golden Immortals, no one can stop them... When we get back, we will find a way to inform Wu Wei and make preparations in advance!"
