Chapter 1081 - Leading Family of the Nine Universes

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Divine Imperial Universe!

This universe was larger than the other eight, and twice the size of Mage Imperial Universe which ranked the second. In the Divine Imperial Universe, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was profound. The universe was blessed with many prosperous lands and the most resources of all the universes.

The other universes were divided up by several families, but the Divine Imperial Universe had always been under the control of one family—the Yan Family, the well-deserved leading family of the nine universes.

Yan Family had a history of over four hundred thousand years. Over that time, rulers of other universes had been changing. Many families rose and fell. However, of all that time, the Yan Family had always been the governor, the most powerful of all.

Everything was because of this one man—Yan Family’s forefather, Yan Tiangang!

Throughout history, there had been forces coveting the Divine Imperial Universe, which, after all, was the best with the most reassured lands and most abundant resources.

Once, there were super warriors from the Central Imperial Universe, Earth Imperial Universe and Mage Imperial Universe that visited the Central Imperial Universe before they ascended to the Divinity. They wanted to conquer the Divine Imperial Universe for their families so that their offspring could live in glory for generations.

However, the three super-warriors retreated in silence after their trip to the Divine Imperial Universe. None of them could destroy the Yan Family because… they could not breach the Divine Imperial City!

In the middle of the Divine Imperial Universe floated a huge city, the center of the universe, the residence of Yan Family disciples. The city was a symbol of glory and power and unbreakable defense.

This city in itself was a piece of Relic, an impressive one no less. Tens of thousands of years after Yan Tiangang went to the Divinity, he paid a heavy price and served others as a slave for ten thousand years just to obtain this Relic.

After the Relic was sent back, the Yan Family had become the most powerful family in the nine universes. Since then, the Yan Family had been in glory for four hundred thousand years. Till now, nobody dared to kill Yan Family disciples when they went to the Prison of Gold.

“Bang!”

At the moment, from the largest palace in the Divine Imperial Universe, the Purple Cloud Palace came a muffled sound and an angry snort.

The noise was not loud and only was heard by people within a radius of a couple of miles around the Purple Cloud Palace. Yet soon, the news spread across the entire Divine Imperial City. Many playboys in a world of wine and women were all eased after they were notified.

It was the Yan Family Patriarch living in the Purple Cloud Palace. He was fuming with wrath. Any insensible soul that dared to offend him at this moment would be down on their luck.

Many people were on their knees in the Purple Cloud Palace, and all of them were seniors in the Yan Family and some Family Patriarchs of affiliated families. Yan Family Patriarch was hopping mad. Everyone here was scared to death. This Yan Family Patriarch had been in the position for hundreds of years. He lost temper on three occasions and every time, quite several people died…

Yan Zhen, Yan Family Patriarch, did not appear old at all. He seemed to be a middle-aged man. He was wearing a violet robe, giving him an imposing look. The others were afraid to look into his eyes filled with coldness. He sat on his throne, overlooking the others as if he was the master of all.

Yan Zhen glanced at the warriors, trying hard to keep down the anger in his heart. He said, “Yan Yan is dead, Yan Se, and Fang Rui are dead and now Yan Gu is dead! Who can tell me what the hell has happened?”

Everyone was as quiet as a mouse. Who dared to answer the question now? What if they gave the wrong answer and were killed by Yan Gu? The most important thing was… nobody knew what happened!

“Such a puny Heaven Reverse Universe!”

Yan Zhen murmured with confusion, “That is a small universe. I think considering the Xuan Qi, Mystical Materials and mines of that universe, there can be no more than one or two Semi-God Realm warriors in tens of thousands of years. This time, Yan Gu went with one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors and all from the Yan family had passed away. Is that Universe connected to the Region of Doom or Region of the Dead?”

Still, no one dared to respond. Yan Zhen’s anger grew. He called one man by his name and asked, “Yan Peng, you are in charge of intelligence. Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

A white-bearded old man stood up. He bowed to Yan Zhen before he answered, “I sent people to the Heaven Reverse Universe to investigate upon the death of Yan Yan. I actually dispatched two groups. One of the groups went via the Prison of Primordial Chaos. Maybe, there isn’t enough time… I haven’t heard from them until now. Family Patriarch, I have confirmed with Wu Family and Li Family. Qi Donghai, Wu Guangde, Brother Four of the Li Family, Family Patriarch He and the two warriors from the Prison of Gold have died. The number of deceased Semi-God Realm warriors is learned. Over seventy Semi-God Realm warriors had passed away of about one hundred and ten!”

“Hiss, hiss~”

People gasped in the hall. Qi Donghai, Wu Guangde and Li Family Patriarch, and Yan Gu had passed away. Warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm from the Prison of Gold also died in battle.

That is to say… only three of the 10 warriors at the peak of Semi-God Realm had died!

Of the other Semi-God Realm warriors, conservatively speaking, over seventy had died. Now, they were wondering if the Heaven Reverse Universe was the one they had heard about, but Region of Demons and the Region of the Dead. They wondered if it were not humans in this universe, but beings and fiends from the underworld.

After all, there were so many Semi-God Realm warriors and 10 were at the peak. It was a force that was enough to wipe out the Earth Imperial Universe and Mage Imperial Universe.

“Is it because of the Supreme Relic? Lu Li has taken complete control of that super grade Relic. He then killed Yan Gu and the others with it.”

Yan Zhen suspected. He could come up with no other explanation. Semi-God Realm warriors were rarely seen in small universes, which was an established fact for over a million years. When Lu Li obtained the Wicked Bead from the Central Imperial Universe, he was only at the Noble Lord Realm. It had only been a few years. At the very best, he should be at the Earth Immortal Realm.

“Sure…”

Yan Zhen thought for a while and then walked to a corridor nearby without leaving behind a word. He entered a palace in the back via the corridor on his own and went to a small hall inside the palace.

This was the statue of Yan Tiangang. Beneath the small hall was an altar. Needless to say, this was the place to contact Yan Tiangang and ask him to send down an avatar.

Yan Zhen was on his knees. He poured out Xuan Energy. After a while, the statue trembled and gave out a white glow. A surge of divine might spread across. Yan Zhen bowed and said with respect, “Greetings, forefather.”

“What is it?” A cold voice came through. The voice was old but full of strength.

“I am sorry. I probably cannot get the Wicked Bead for you any time soon.”

Yan Zhen said honestly. He stated how Yan Se, Yan Yan, Yan Gu, and Wu Guangde had died. Then, Yan Zhen asked, with caution, “Forefather, do you think Lu Li has taken complete control of the Wicked Bead and used it to kill Yan Gu and the others?”

“There is no way!”

Yan Tianggang did not show any emotional changes after he heard the news. He said with confidence, “I don’t know the exact story of the Wicked Bead and have just heard some rumors. The Wicked Bead is most likely a Supreme Relic. If so, not even an average immortal can take control of it. If not, how can Lu Li use it to kill Yan Gu and the others? I remember the Bead of Wood is in the hands of Yan Gu, right?”

“That is strange…”

Yan Zhen was surprised. Then, he bowed again. “Forefather, don’t worry. I have sent people to investigate. When I have collected the facts, I will go to Heaven Reverse Universe in person. I will take the Wicked Bead back and execute Lu Li!”
