Chapter 1726 The Nine Great Clans of the Spirit Race
Chapter 1726 The Nine Great Clans of the Spirit Race
……
Inside the Temple of the Evil God.
The ancient spirit god Ling Hao was firmly bound by rune chains and could not move.
"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. Why bother with this hypocritical act?"
As the Evil Emperor slowly approached him, the Ancient Spirit God snorted coldly, his eyes filled with displeasure.
“I have no intention of humiliating you. We were of the same race countless ages ago, so why would I need to kill you?”
The Evil Emperor smiled, but he had no intention of releasing the other party. After all, the other party was an extremely powerful supreme ruler, and he was not entirely confident that he could defeat him!
"So what do you want?"
Ling Hao curled his lips and stared coldly at the Evil Emperor.
“Before these countless ages, I think you should know Him better than I do. I really want to know, what exactly is He?”
The "He" that the Evil Emperor spoke of was of course referring to "rules." Perhaps he had some understanding of "rules," but he certainly did not understand them as much as Ling Hao did!
"You want to know, but why should I tell you?"
A cold glint appeared at the corner of the ancient spirit god's mouth; clearly, he did not intend to tell the Evil Emperor.
However, upon seeing this, the Evil Emperor was not angry. He merely shook his head slightly, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes!
"I am from the Spirit Clan, which originally consisted of nine clans. Now, only the Evil Clan and your Spirit Clan remain. I am very curious, where are the other seven clans hiding now? Are they... all related to you?"
After speaking, the Evil Emperor stared intently at the ancient spirit god, as if trying to see something in the other's eyes.
"Alright, alright, I didn't expect you to suspect me too!"
The ancient spirit god couldn't help but laugh, "The universe is divided into three major periods! The first is the Primordial Period, the second is the Ancient Period, and the third is the Modern Period!"
"You and I have both been active since the middle period of the Primordial Era. You should know how our Primordial Spirit Clan came to be, right?"
"Our Spirit Clan's final ancestor was named Ling Fan, who was also the first supreme ruler-level powerhouse in the entire universe. However, because he was invincible in the early days of the universe, he was unwilling to be lonely after countless years and chose to pass away peacefully!"
"All his power, his entire body, transformed into the nine clans of the Spirit Race! This laid the very foundation for runes! Our common ancestor!"
"The first clan leaders of the nine clans were the Ling Clan, the Xie Clan, the Si Clan, the Shen Clan, the Du Clan, the Gui Clan, the Sha Clan, the Tai Clan, and the Xu Clan!"
“And each clan possesses its own unique supernatural power or treasure. For example, our clan has seven rune marks, each one stronger than the last. After all the prayer rune marks are destroyed, they will transform into golden marks, which is the strongest form, the Golden Spirit God!”
"Unfortunately, although this move is very powerful, second only to the Primordial Spirit Technique, only the clan leader is qualified to learn it! Therefore, in the entire Spirit Clan, only I know it!"
"Your Xie clan obtained the Primordial Spiritual Technique, but unfortunately, apart from your clan's ancestors, no one else has been able to master it!"
"As for the Death Clan, they possess the mark of death. They have the worst reproductive ability, but they will never die. Even if they die, they can still fight. Therefore, their disappearance cannot be true death, because they will never die!"
"The Divine Clan possessed divine marks and had extremely high cultivation talent, ten thousand times that of ordinary people. In the ancient times, they caused considerable trouble for the human race. Their disappearance was not so much related to their complete annihilation."
"The Poison Clan has an extremely short lifespan, but they possess the ability to bring the dead back to life. Although their numbers are very small, each one of them is a born healer and a born poison master!"
"The Ghost Clan can summon the spirits of the dead, revealing their cultivation level in life. The spirits summoned after death possess the same cultivation level and supernatural abilities. Moreover, with so many members, there is no possibility of their extinction!"
"The Killer Clan are born assassins. If someone of the same level is targeted, they can kill them with a single move. Because of this, they have the most enemies, and therefore there is a certain probability that they will be wiped out!"
"The Tai clan are natural-born masters of alchemy and array formations, possessing divine rune arrays!"
"The last of the Xu clan are born immune to any physical attacks and possess innate damage reduction abilities. They will return half of the damage they suffer to others without any damage!"
Even after saying all this in one breath, the ancient spirit god still had a slight smile on his lips.
"Now, do you still think their disappearance is annihilation? Besides, their disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
Hearing the ancient spirit god say this, the Evil Emperor naturally believed it. However, he did not understand why the other seven clans had all disappeared.
"As for why they disappeared, perhaps only the 'rules' know the answer."
"I've said what I needed to say. Now, can you let me go?"
"Let you go?"
The Evil Emperor couldn't help but sneer, "Why should I? Give me a reason!"
"..."
"Hehe, whatever you want then!"
The ancient spirit god was not surprised to hear this. In any case, the evil emperor himself knew about these things, but perhaps he did not know as comprehensively as he did.
"What I didn't expect was that in the end, our Ling clan would still be suppressed by your Xie clan. You won, but our Ling clan is still the direct descendant of the ancient Ling clan!"
The Evil Emperor did not continue to ask questions, because he knew that no matter how many questions he asked, the ancient spirit god probably would not be able to answer them, so he simply stopped asking.
The Evil Emperor disappeared without a sound and arrived outside the Temple of the Evil God!
At this moment, Song Yu and the Demon Emperor were playing chess, and soon the Demon Emperor won, proving to be more skilled.
Song Yu was not surprised by this.
"You're distracted."
The Demon Emperor stood up and looked at Song Yu, who seemed somewhat dazed, and said...
Song Yu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
"What are you thinking?"
The Demon Emperor patted Song Yu's shoulder curiously. Song Yu was often absent-minded, which he had naturally noticed.
"What did the 'rules' call those first-level gods to do? They are first-level gods after all. Although we don't need to care about them at all right now, I always feel like that guy is brewing some kind of conspiracy!"
“You’re right. All the first-level gods have to obey him. I’m afraid all the first-level gods who have godhood are now with him.”
"I suspect that the disappearance of the other clans of the Primordial Spirit Clan is also related to 'rules'!"
Upon hearing the Evil Emperor's words, Song Yu fell into a brief silence.
"So what are your plans?"
After a long while, Song Yu slowly raised his head.
"I need to leave first. I need to go back to ancient times to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the nine clans. They disappeared in the early days of ancient times, and since then they have vanished as if they had completely evaporated, leaving no trace and no movement!"
As the Evil Emperor spoke, the power of the rules of spacetime in his palm pulsed slowly.
Only rules can overcome rules!
"it is good."
The two nodded in agreement. Now, they had no rivals in the entire universe, and all they needed to do next was to continue cultivating.
There are no longer any powerful beings of the supreme ruler level in the open throughout the universe!
"Ah."
The Evil Emperor nodded in the end. The power of the spacetime rules in his palm slowly condensed into a huge sphere. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the huge sphere in his palm into the void.
Wow! ! !
As the spherical explosion occurred, the entire void instantly distorted. The Evil Emperor glanced back one last time, then took a step forward and walked into the vortex.
"I do not know when I will return. I am also unaware of the impact my journey to the early ancient times will have on the present. You all must take good care of me!"
What he was referring to naturally included Xie Cang and other members of the Xie clan, and of course, also members of the Ling clan!
"it is good."
The two agreed and watched the Evil Emperor leave!
"Demon Emperor, you'll be in charge of the Evil God Palace from now on. They're all training in the universe, and I need to go and check on them."
Song Yu chuckled at the Demon Emperor and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
……
"Where to run!"
With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Song Qinghong relentlessly pursued the two deities ahead!
Those two deities were incredibly fast. Although they were both at the Dao Immortal Lord level, their speed was clearly more than one level faster than Song Qinghong's!
"You're absolutely insane!"
The two deities were clearly terrified by Song Qinghong, and they ran away as fast as they could, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
"Heh, you're pretty fast!"
Song Qinghong sneered repeatedly, and a divine weapon suddenly appeared in his hand!
"Hmph, you nearly killed me before, and now I've come for revenge—it's karma. Why don't you surrender now?"
Song Qinghong suddenly increased his speed, and then he turned his hand into a claw and grabbed at the two gods.
Before the two deities could react, Song Qinghong firmly grasped them in his palm.
Song Qinghong suddenly tightened his five fingers, and the spiritual power in his palm pierced the meridians of the two gods like steel needles, temporarily sealing their cultivation. He then casually slammed them hard onto the void stone ground.
A dull thud echoed as the two deities crashed to the ground, blood trickling from their mouths. Their eyes, filled with fear and resentment, stared at Song Qinghong: "Song Qinghong, don't go too far! It was just a minor skirmish in the training realm earlier, and you chased us for three thousand miles across the universe, determined to kill us all?"
"A little friction?"
Song Qinghong stepped forward slowly, placing his foot on the chest of the green-robed deity. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, his cold eyes devoid of any warmth. "In the secret realm, the two of you joined forces to launch a sneak attack, luring the ferocious beasts of the realm to injure me. If I hadn't used all my trump cards, I would have already become food for those beasts. This debt should be settled today!"
