As the Lianyou Mountain Range across the Jiuyou River Basin, it reaches the edge of the ghost world in the east and the boundary between Xuanming and Jiuyou in the west. It is hundreds of millions of meters high at the top, breaks into the depths of the clouds, and is also 70,000 to 80,000 meters high at the bottom. , like a natural chasm.
The Zongzu Ridge is the middlemost section of the Yanyou Mountain Range. There happens to be a nether spring deep in the mountains, which makes the entire mountain range rich in netherworld energy all year round. It is naturally a great harm to creatures that are not at the underworld level, but it is very harmful to the strong people at the underworld level. From a personal perspective, this place is a rare place for cultivation.
It is precisely because of occupying this treasure land that even when the general was defeated and sealed, the zombie clan still firmly held its position as the overlord of the Jiuyou River Basin.
Although the scale of this competition is not small, in the final analysis it is still a competition between the juniors at the bottom, so the venue for the competition is only located on the southern periphery of Zangzu Ridge.
When Shi Chishang and others arrived, tens of thousands of creatures from the ghost world had gathered here, including hazy ghosts that looked like phantoms, giant beasts as huge as mountains that had become spirits, as well as yakshas, demons, and demons. Races such as sprites and ghost flies.
The venue for the competition is a giant square built by masters of the zombie race. The whole square is like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, with an overall area of no less than 100,000 square meters. In the center is a block of 100 meters high and 10,000 square meters long and wide. The arena is about 100 meters tall and surrounded by circular steps, with hundreds of layers in total.
When Shi Chishang and his party entered the venue with their identity tokens, the first thing they saw was the stands suspended above the square. Those were obviously for senior officials from all parties to enjoy the competition. As contestants, Shi Chishang and others , can only come to the players' seat between the ring and the audience.
Although there are only ten contestants in this competition, each of them has a different number of allies, retinues, and guests participating in the battle, so the area of the ten contestants' seats is not small.
When Shi Chishang and the others arrived at the players' seats, there were already dozens of figures sitting inside, including a black turtle as tall as a mountain, a rock giant seven or eight meters tall, and more than thirty people of varying strength. Zombies, but they were all sitting around the players' seats, giving up the center position to a figure.
It was a humanoid creature several meters tall, with two horns on its head. It was not ugly in appearance, but it exuded a strong ferocious aura. Just sitting there quietly would make people's skin tremble inexplicably, and they would not dare to approach it.
Shi Chishang understood that it was a strong man from the Shura tribe recruited by Emperor Zhanwu, but he only looked at it twice before looking away and turned to look at the ring.
On the huge arena, ten young zombies with different appearances stood impressively.
Of course, they say they are young, but some of them are already hundreds of years old. However, looking at the long-lived zombies, hundreds of years old can still only be regarded as juniors.
Zhuang Wudi and Zang Wuchang were clearly on the list. Obviously, these ten zombies were the ten contestants in this competition.
The arrival of Niu Sanshan, Ma Hanxue and the others did not cause too many waves. Emperor Zangwudi and Zangwuchang did not hide the fact that they had formed an alliance with the two clansmen. Therefore, the Zombie clan already knew that Emperor Zangwudi and Zangwuchang had joined forces. The master of the Tauren and Horse-faced tribes.
However, when a group of bull-headed and horse-faced people sat down on the seats, revealing Shi Chishang, Yu Lewei and others who were among them, they attracted a lot of attention from all around.
"Who is that?"
On the ring, a young man in a blue uniform raised his eyebrows and looked suspiciously at another contestant standing beside him. The latter was extremely slender, with dark green hair hanging down like a waterfall, scattered in the air. Looking at the zombies in green robes, he shook his head and looked at Zang Wudi and Zang Wuchang in the distance with the same confusion.
The ten contestants are of course vying for the qualification to be promoted to the clan leader candidate, but because there are three places, these ten people will also join forces with each other, such as Zhan Wu Emperor and Zang Wu Chang, such as this green-robed zombie and ink-haired zombies.
In the other nine contestant seats, the nine ghosts who served as advisers under the contestants all looked at Shi Chishang and others in surprise. Then they each took out their communication devices with gloomy expressions and began to contact their subordinates from the outside world, trying to search. News from Shi Chishang and others.
Aware of the turmoil around him, Emperor Zhanwu had no expression on his face. He was currently wearing a set of black armor covered with ferocious spikes. The cloak behind his back was rustling. Next to him, Zongwu Chang was dressed in white. Only his sleeves were black and his body was black. Graceful and graceful.
Although most of the zombies have ferocious faces, after cultivating to the underworld level, most of their appearances will change. The men will become more handsome and tough, while the women will become more beautiful. In addition, they are in human form, so they look no different from the humans watching the battle around them.
When seeing Shi Chishang and others, the Shura tribe couldn't help but twitch their noses, showing a somewhat suspicious look: "Human race?"
When Shi Chishang heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted: "That's right."
The Shura tribe hummed, and glanced at them. They found that the strongest one was only half a step underworld master, so they didn't pay any more attention and directly withdrew their gaze.
Shi Chishang didn't care. He, Yu Lewei, Zhong Wudi, and Cao Hong took Black Blade and Calamity Phoenix to the corner of the players' bench and sat down. Niu Sanshan and Ma Hanxue were all tall and could easily block their sight. , so the four of them deliberately chose a corner at the back to have a better viewing angle.
Looking from here, one can clearly see the densely packed figures in the surrounding auditorium, 80% of which are zombies. Their appearance is either ugly and ferocious, or feminine and handsome, which are two extremes.
In addition to the zombies, the largest proportion is all kinds of ghost beasts. Some of them are like tigers, some are like lions, and some are simply not the species that Shi Chishang is familiar with. They are crowded together and heading towards The ten people on the stage kept roaring, making the huge square thunderous, one after another.
Some of these spectators have at least reached the rank of Underworld Emperor, and the underworld energy emanating from their bodies is surging. Thousands of ghosts are sitting in this square of more than 100,000 square meters, and the ghost energy they emit naturally converges into Together, waves of terrifying gray haze were formed that continued to sink toward the ground.
In the thirteen suspended viewing platforms above the square, there are the top forces from the major river basins of the ghost world. The strength of these spectators is undoubtedly more powerful. Even if they have deliberately restrained their aura, the ghosts that are like Qing Ming are still there. The power still dominates the heaven and the earth, constantly intertwining, forming a slowly rising vast gray cloud.
"Qing Ming ascends, ghosts and ruthless descends," Shi Chishang's pupils shrank slightly, with a hint of emotion in his expression, "The two paths of ghosts and Ming are just like the black and yellow, they are separated and incompatible. No wonder no one has been able to combine the two since the dawn of time. Perfect blend.”
Yu Lewei raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him, then smiled knowingly and whispered: "Is Versailles interesting?"
"No, it's really a bit emotional," Shi Chishang shook his head, with an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.
A few years later, when he is promoted to the Emperor of the Underworld, he will definitely spread the method of the soul path throughout the world. By then, the two realms of ghosts and underworld will practice the soul path together. I am afraid that the overall strength will have undergone earth-shaking changes, even if it is recognized as a whole The strongest realms of heaven and immortality, I am afraid that the two realms of ghosts and underworld will not be inferior in the slightest.
Holding his girlfriend's soft and smooth hand, Shi Chishang stroked it gently unconsciously, and his soul consciousness quietly unfolded, spreading silently to the eight contestant seats in the distance.
Ten player seats are scattered around the ring. However, according to the alliance relationship between the players, the distance between these player seats will also be slightly adjusted. For example, the player closest to them is the player on the left who belongs to Zangmo Chang. seats.
Three thousand meters to their right, there was also a contestants' bench, and this was where Shi Chishang's soul consciousness first spread.
There are thirty-two ghosts here. In addition to the twenty-seven zombies who are the strongest but in the late stage of the Underworld Master, and the three Yin spirits floating in place like shadows, the remaining two ghosts allowed Shi Chishang to observe them for a while. .
One of the ghosts was a middle-aged man with two swords on his waist. However, the left side of his face was full of holes, making him look ugly and terrifying, while the right side of his face appeared to be light and hazy and transparent.
Under the prying eyes of Shi Chishang, who was superior to his peers, it was easy to discover that this was a human cultivator in the early stage of Pluto.
The other ghost was a Taoist priest in white robes with disheveled hair. He held a banner in his arms and his eyes were empty, not like a living person. His aura was well controlled. Fortunately, Shi Chi Shanghun had met people before and could vaguely follow him. The power that overflowed from his body revealed the true and false nature of this person.
This is a human cultivator at the peak of Ming Lord.
Touching his chin, Shi Chishang thought secretly for a moment, and then spread his soul consciousness to other players' seats.
When his soul consciousness shifted rapidly like a tide, the white-robed Taoist shuddered, and a trace of blank cruelty appeared in his originally empty eyes. He glanced left and right before regaining his indifferent look with suspicion.
Although his soul consciousness was powerful, Shi Chishang did not dare to be too obvious. After all, his own cultivation was insufficient, so he only roughly sensed it outside. Even so, he was almost discovered by others several times.
After more than ten seconds, Shi Chi Shang put away all his soul consciousness, and then slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, with a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
Among the ten player seats, there are twelve people from the Pluto Emperor and above who he sensed. As for the Pluto Lord, there are even more, there are twenty or thirty, and the Pluto King and the Pluto Master are not to mention, basically It is a basic configuration, but the number of underworld masters is the smallest, only a few.
It's normal to think about it. There are a huge number of ghosts of this level, and they belong to the cannon fodder level. These candidates can be fought out from countless people. If any of them are less capable, their subordinates must be closer to the underworld master and above. If there is not enough, they will choose them. Hades.
"You don't have to think about it if you are at the Hades level. You can give it a try at the early stage of Hades!"
Thinking about all the trump cards he had now, Shi Chi Shang's eyes shone brightly, like stars.
He can climb higher step by step in the human world and dominate the world. Given time, he can do the same in the ghost world.
And today is his first real battle into the ghost world!
