"I heard that this person was originally one of the first gods. But for some reason, he turned into a member of the Dark Gods." The Dragon King said carefully, "That's why the first gods suppressed him and designated the surrounding thousand miles as a forbidden area."
"A dark god transformed from the first generation of gods?" Xiao Wenbing felt a chill run down his spine. This guy was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
“Exactly.” The Dragon King glanced at the patriarchs of the other three races and said, “We would like to ask Lord Xiao for help to eliminate this demon.”
Xiao Wenbing shuddered. He had personally witnessed the old tortoise's divine power and was deeply afraid of those first-generation gods. After hearing about the origins of the Dark God, he dared not provoke him easily and immediately declined.
The Dragon King pleaded for a long time to no avail. He suddenly changed his tone and said, "Lord Xiao, do you know what the other place in the three forbidden areas is?"
Xiao Wenbing's heart skipped a beat; he certainly knew what that place was. His group had obtained their magical artifacts from there, but he remained calm and said, "May I ask?"
"That place is the sealed land where the first gods left. It is said to be full of magical treasures crafted by the gods." The Dragon King said mysteriously, "If Lord Xiao can help us to slay demons and monsters, then our four clans will open this forbidden land and take out magical treasures for everyone to choose from."
Xiao Wenbing was greatly surprised. That forbidden area had a chaotic barrier. Could it be that besides Feng Baiyi, someone else could enter at will?
"Senior Dragon King, how many magical treasures are there?" Xiao Wenbing asked tentatively.
"There are many, reportedly no less than a thousand divine artifacts."
Xiao Wenbing found it amusing; it turned out the Dragon King was only guessing. He looked at the Dragon King closely, and suddenly his mind grasped what the Dragon King was thinking.
With a slight smile, Xiao Wenbing immediately understood that the old dragon was lying. He couldn't possibly break through the chaotic barrier; he had only made a verbal promise.
However, Xiao Wenbing did not expose his lie. Instead, he straightened his attitude and said righteously, "Senior Dragon King, we came to the Underworld to eliminate the Dark God for the sake of the countless beings in the Underworld, the God Realm, and all other realms, not for some illusory divine artifact."
The Dragon King nodded repeatedly, praising Xiao Wenbing's noble character, but inwardly he cursed, "Who are you trying to fool, kid? I've lived for countless billions of years, don't I see what kind of person you are...?"
Although none of these old fogies could figure out what Xiao Wenbing was up to while hiding within the Chaos Wall, they all knew that he was definitely using the opportunity of eliminating the Dark God to cultivate something.
For example, this time, the pressure emanating from Xiao Wenbing was at least ten times greater than before, giving the four kings a strong feeling that they could not match him.
The four clan leaders, while feeling grateful for the fact that their four clans had risked their lives to find the Dark God in the Underworld, only to have it all go to this kid, also had their own thoughts.
"Ahem." The Phoenix Lord coughed lightly and said, "Lord Xiao, although that demon has been suppressed for countless years, his power is too great, and the seal has recently loosened considerably. If he really breaks free and recovers all his magic power, I'm afraid there will be no living beings left in the world."
Xiao Wenbing was initially unmoved. However, after hearing these words, he began to secretly make plans.
"Senior Feng, are you saying that the demon's divine power has been suppressed?"
"Exactly. After being sealed and suppressed for countless years, his strength is probably only about 30% of what it used to be."
"Thirty percent?" Xiao Wenbing's heart skipped a beat. If it were a complete first-generation god, Xiao Wenbing would definitely not go to his death, but a first-generation god with only thirty percent of his strength, wouldn't that be a testing ground?
What excites Xiao Wenbing even more is that if he can digest and absorb the divine power of this Dark God, his Myriad Swords Technique will advance significantly.
After a moment's thought, he looked at Zhang and Feng. They both nodded slightly at him.
Xiao Wenbing immediately made a decision. He stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Four seniors, as the saying goes, evil must be eradicated completely. Since such a demon exists, how can we tolerate its evil? Of course, we must wipe it out in one fell swoop. I, Xiao, am willing to offer my humble service. Let's set off."
The Dragon King and the others looked at each other, puzzled as to why Xiao Wenbing's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically. However, this change suited their wishes perfectly, so how could they refuse?
After some discussion, the group decided to gather half of the power of the four races and the gods to go together, while the rest would continue to search for the scattered dark gods in the underworld.
A year later, the four races and the gods scattered throughout the underworld finally gathered. At Xiao Wenbingfei's command, the combined army of 50,000 flew in one direction.
Aside from the 10,000 gods, the 50,000-strong army consisted of 10,000 soldiers from each of the other four races, all of whom were true experts from their respective clans. In terms of strength, they already exceeded half of their clans' combat power.
To deal with a mere individual, they actually mobilized half the power of the underworld and all the gods, which shows just how much people feared the first generation of gods.
If we fail to eliminate that Dark God Ancestor this time, I'm afraid there won't be a second chance.
The three forbidden areas of the underworld are each guarded by a wall of chaos.
This forbidden area, which suppressed the Dark God Ancestor, was no exception. What was most surprising was that there was no power concealing or suppressing anything on this Chaos Wall.
A powerful and violent force of chaos raged wildly across an area spanning thousands of miles.
Within this range, there was absolutely no living being. All living beings were utterly unable to withstand this overwhelming and powerful pressure.
Even the 50,000 troops that Xiao Wenbing brought this time showed a certain degree of fear when they arrived within a thousand miles of the forbidden area.
Fortunately, these people were all true powerhouses from their respective races, and there was no situation of them scattering and fleeing. Xiao Wenbing also understood what the Dragon King had said before he came here.
The Dragon King insisted on bringing only his elite troops because he feared that those with insufficient cultivation would not be able to withstand the immense pressure.
However, it was clear that the Dragon King and his companions had underestimated the Chaos Wall, which was created by the first generation of gods.
The closer they got to the center of the forbidden area, the more restless and agitated the tens of thousands of troops became, especially the powerful members of the sea tribe, whose agitation became increasingly apparent.
Xiao Wenbing secretly shook his head, discussed it with Zhang Yaqi, and the latter summoned the Qiankun Ring. A five-colored light shield immediately enveloped everyone.
Although the pressure on those inside the Five Elements Barrier was greatly reduced, the pressure felt by Zhang Yaqi increased a thousandfold.
Perhaps the Chaos Wall sensed something. The pressure from the Five Elements Barrier suddenly increased a hundredfold.
A chilling wailing suddenly echoed through the space. Each note seemed to contain immense power, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Lord Xiao, what... is this?" the giant snake asked cautiously.
"This is the pressure of the Wall of Chaos."
"The Wall of Chaos?" The serpent compared the power of the two Walls of Chaos in its mind and asked suspiciously, "If this is the Wall of Chaos, then what did you and your master create in the Underworld? The son of the Wall of Chaos?"
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, then snorted angrily, grabbed the giant snake by the neck, and threw it out of the barrier.
The giant serpent cried out in despair, scrambling back into the barrier, and dared not utter another word.
The group cautiously approached the center of the forbidden area and, as expected, saw a vast and boundless wall of chaos. It was inscribed with countless ancient and mysterious symbols, and the oppressive aura emanating from it far surpassed that of the fake created by Xiao Wenbing and his companions.
Led by Feng Baiyi, the group found the only passage to enter.
In this world, only this successor of the Heavenly Thunder can easily find this door.
Strands of electricity emanated from Feng Baiyi's hands, slowly flowing across the gate as if meticulously depicting something. Two enormous bronze rings gradually appeared on the gate.
He stepped forward, gave a gentle push, and the door opened wide.
A piercing sound echoed in everyone's minds. The area inside the gate was dimly lit, eerily chilling.
Xiao Wenbing took a deep breath and said, "Let's go in."
Silently, the group filed in. Once inside the Wall of Chaos, the immense pressure vanished. However, none of them felt any relief.
Another kind of pressure, completely different but of almost the same magnitude, slowly rose in this dark space.
"Yaqi, let's set up the formation," Xiao Wenbing said immediately without hesitation.
Zhang Yaqi nodded slightly and waved her slender hand. Her divine domain immediately opened, combining with the multicolored light from the Qiankun Ring to envelop everyone once again.
Feng Baiyi closed her eyes. Guided by the power of heavenly thunder, all the changes within the Chaos Wall could not escape her perception.
Extending her slender hand, she pointed in a direction and whispered, "It's right there..."
Within the protective barrier, the four clan leaders shouted simultaneously, "Make your move!"
The 50,000 elite troops immediately began to gather their strength, and all sorts of lights shone brightly within the light shield.
"I'm going." Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly as he saw that everyone was ready, stepped out of the circle of light, and walked in the direction indicated by Feng Baiyi.
It was still dark there, but Xiao Wenbing had converted a portion of his original power into the energy of heavenly lightning, which illuminated the surrounding area within tens of meters with every detail.
There was a tall altar, on which lay a giant who was twenty feet tall.
The giant had only one large, round eye on its head, which seemed to be half-open and half-closed as it stared at Xiao Wenbing who was getting closer.
However, what puzzled Xiao Wenbing was that there seemed to be a light and agile quality in the giant's eyes.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Wenbing dismissed the absurd idea from his mind. Dark God, how could these creatures, who only know how to kill, possibly possess reason?
However, the next moment, he was immediately stunned by the wisp of divine thought that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Who goes there to disturb my sleep?"
Xiao Wenbing stared at the other person in disbelief, his mind momentarily blank. The Dark God could speak?
He suddenly pointed and asked with his divine sense, "You can speak?"
"I am..."
Before the giant could speak, he was interrupted by a sharp, piercing shriek.
As soon as the giant snake saw Xiao Wenbing extend his finger, it immediately shouted, "Attack..."
Upon hearing the order, the 50,000 experts who had been preparing for battle unleashed their most powerful trump cards without reservation.
The combined attack of 50,000 experts was no less powerful than the combined might of all the gods in the divine realm.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wenbing had already teleported away to a far distance.
The giant hesitated for a moment, seemingly not understanding why these people attacked each other on sight.
However, by the time he awoke from the overwhelming power of that devastating energy and tried to escape, it was clearly too late.
In his haste, he curled up and buried his head deep between his arms.
With a deafening roar, thick smoke billowed from the entire platform. The platform, made of an unknown material, crumbled into dust, scattering into the air.
Xiao Wenbing made a hand seal and gently blew a breath, dispersing the thick smoke in front of him.
Feng Baiyi then mobilized the power of heavenly lightning in the space, causing the place to shine brightly and eliminating any sense of gloom.
The towering platform, several meters high, had completely collapsed, and a giant man with only half a body remained sitting in the pile of rubble.
His condition was utterly tragic; not only was one of his arms blasted into dust, but his lower body had also turned to cosmic dust. An ordinary person suffering such injuries would have been dead long ago. But the giant slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with rage and resentment.
"This guy isn't dead yet, everyone keep attacking..." The giant snake's heart trembled, and it hurriedly shouted.
Upon hearing this, the 50,000 experts immediately began to gather their power again, all their eyes fixed on the half-dead giant.
The reputation of the Ancestor of Dark Gods was so terrifying that even with such injuries, no one dared to underestimate him in the slightest.
Countless rays of light flashed again under the protection of the Qiankun Ring, and it seemed that everyone was about to launch a second wave of attacks.
However, the giant was not one to lie on the ground and wait to die. Suddenly, he roared, and a huge white light shot out from his only remaining hand, slamming heavily into Zhang Yaqi's multicolored light shield.
Another loud bang was heard, and even the light shield that embodied the five elements involuntarily shook a little.
The moment the giant made his move, Xiao Wenbing's expression changed drastically. He suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
The 50,000 elite troops were taken aback, and the vast majority stopped. Although Xiao Wenbing was not the patriarch of the four races of the Underworld, his abilities were recognized by all members of the four races. Therefore, upon hearing his call, they instinctively stopped.
“You…” Xiao Wenbing pointed at the giant man and asked with a strange expression, “Who exactly are you?”
Everyone was greatly surprised. Since it was sealed within the Chaos Wall, it must be the Ancestor of the Dark Gods.
Unexpectedly, the giant, his disheveled hair flying wildly, roared, "Who are you? How dare you destroy the Demon-Suppressing Altar! What do you want?"
Unbeknownst to them, everyone's hearts gradually grew cold.
