Great Demon Sun Wukong

The Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head and gave an awkward smile. He then pulled Sun Wukong to sit down and pretended to listen seriously to the discussions of the others. Xi Zhao smiled at the Flame God and continued, "So it's settled—once the trial officially begins, we will first send someone to contact the Genesis Divine Nation to seek cooperation.

Following that, we will start to scout the surroundings of the Netherworld Palace to eliminate any potential dangers. Then, once we receive the reply from the Genesis Divine Nation, it will be our time to strike! Sun Wukong, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Flame God, heed my command—for you three to head to the Genesis Divine Nation, depart tomorrow morning!"

Sun Wukong, Flame God, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero stood up simultaneously and shouted in unison, "Understood!"

After receiving this news, the other forces also began to discuss and strategize. After all, the trial in the Patrolling Celestial World wouldn't end overnight, and with its significant implications, they naturally couldn't act rashly. Those who could contact allies would of course try to do so at once, for an extra person meant extra strength.

If you prided yourself on your status and refused to join with others, by the time the others united, you would be left with no choice but annihilation.

Moreover, in the Patrolling Celestial World, the strength of the ten forces was not that different, which meant that it was impossible for one force to withstand the attacks of the other two forces at the same time. This was completely different from warfare between nations. War between countries involved too many factors—tactics, logistics, terrain, national power, and many other elements.

Hence, in a national war, it was not impossible for one country to hold back the attack of two other countries.

With the right use of tactics, even winning against greater numbers was not difficult. But in the Patrolling Celestial World it was entirely different. Each force had seventy-two people, and every one of them had their own trump card moves.

Every Divine Kingdom and High Level world wouldn't hesitate to spare some Magic Treasures and Divine Artifacts, so once a battle began, either it would be a stalemate, or both sides would suffer heavy losses. If you wanted to annihilate the opponent completely, you had to find allies.

Hence, forming an alliance with allies was essential. However, in the Patrolling Celestial World, apart from the Netherworld World, Genesis Divine Nation, and Myriad Demons Country, the other seven forces had no maps, meaning they knew nothing about the Patrolling Celestial World. How big was this world exactly? Where was each force's palace? What dangers surrounded them?

Were there any terrifying demon beasts or ferocious animals in the Patrolling Celestial World?

Were there any forbidden areas? How could they find their allies and not accidentally enter the territory of a hostile nation? All these were completely unknown to the other seven Divine Nations. Therefore, in the early stages of the trial, their sole task was to explore the terrain while defending themselves.

In this respect, the three forces that owned maps had huge advantages. Myriad Demons Country was okay, possessing only a partial map. On it were only some general indicators, and it was not complete, missing some parts. But they could still roughly determine their location and the general locations of the other Divine Kingdoms.

As for the half map of the Genesis Divine Nation, it was much more accurate; not only did it clearly indicate the geographical features like mountains and rivers, but it also clearly marked which areas had dangerous beasts and natural hazards. Unfortunately, it was just the map of the southern part of the Patrolling Celestial World.

But the Netherworld World possessed a detailed map of the entire Patrolling Celestial World. That's why Xi Zhao was so confident. While others were still struggling to explore the terrain, they could already discuss with the Genesis Divine Nation about which force to attack first.

Just as the ten forces of the Patrolling Celestial World were discussing their future strategies and tactics, the Domain Lords of the Six Great Divine Nations outside also received war reports delivered by envoys from the Heavenly Patrollers.

"Haha, who would have thought—little Six-Eared has actually taken first place. I truly made no mistake in my judgment; this person will surely be able to glimpse the essentials of the Supreme Path one day. Shadow Ghost, convey my Domain Lord's Order—effective today, the Battle Demon City belonging to the Demon Clan is promoted to an Inner City and becomes the eleventh great Inner City.

Everyone belonging to the Battle Demon City is awarded a Netherworld Tower and granted the right to enter and leave all Inner Cities freely. Furthermore, I appoint Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi as Netherworld War Generals and award them the half part of the Netherworld Reincarnation Decree!"

Upon hearing Yue Huangquan's words, Shadow Ghost was startled; the Lord Guardian was truly generous this time! Just the Netherworld Tower alone was a Top Level Supreme Divine Artifact, and possessing it meant one could potentially become immortal in the Netherworld World.

One could just summon the Netherworld Tower and hide in it upon attack, and if willing, they could instantly appear in Yue Huangquan's Domain Lord's hall.

Beyond that, the appointment of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi as Netherworld War Generals meant that there were now seven instead of the original five Great War Generals. Netherworld War Generals had direct allegiance to the Domain Lord—other than the Domain Lord, they needed to heed no one else's command.

But compared to the last award, the half of the Netherworld Reincarnation Decree, it seemed insignificant.

The Netherworld Reincarnation Decree was the Supreme Secret Manual of the Netherworld World, which only the Lord Guardian and the Lord had the right to cultivate.

Along with Genesis Divine Nation's Seal Heavenly Stamp, the Myriad Spirits Realm's Nine Decisions, the Annihilation Demon Nation's Nine Serpents Annihilation Decree, the Myriad Demons Country's Myriad Demons Heaven-Breaking Decree, and the Myriad Gods Hall's Divine Litany of Myriad Existences, it was known as one of the Six Decrees of the Great Divine Nations.

Of course, there were originally the Nine Decrees of the Divine Nations, but they were lost completely with the annihilation of the Dominion of Soil, Blue Water Realm, and Li Fire Realm. Therefore, to obtain even half a scroll of the Netherworld Reincarnation Decree was indeed a supreme honor and an opportunity to greatly enhance one's strength.

Even the Shadow Ghosts only had a third of a scroll of the Netherworld Reincarnation Decree.

After issuing his commands, Yue Huangquan seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, so he said to the Shadow Ghosts, "Inform the entire nation to celebrate for three days, and erect a statue of the Six-Eared Macaque in front of the main entrance of the Netherworld Palace, using only the finest materials!"

Having said that, Yue Huangquan laughed heartily and disappeared from sight.

Contrary to Yue Huangquan's joy, inside the main hall of the ruler of the Annihilation Demon Nation, Mo Mietian violently smashed the desk before him into pieces. Yet, that anger could still not be vented in the slightest! Frowning, with clenched fists, and looking at the people below, Mo Mietian felt a rage growing increasingly stronger.

To be the last? The great Annihilation Demon Nation, the leader of the Six Great Divine Nations, had actually become the last this time? Not only that, but his own people sent to participate in the Patrolling Celestial World trial had to face three savage beast sieges!

This truly caused Mo Mietian's fury to explode, fearing that if anything went wrong, the Annihilation Demon Nation would be the first to be eliminated. Then, not only would the status of his Divine Nation be at risk, but there would also be no chance to kill Xi Zhao!

As long as Xi Zhao lived, Mo Mietian would never be at ease. His hatred for Xi Zhao had surpassed the level of a thorn in the flesh; it was like a sharp sword plunged into his heart. Without destroying this sword, he could never be truly safe.

And now, having ended up in this predicament, how could he not be furious? But regardless of his rage, Mo Mietian hadn't lost his reason. His brooding eyes swept over the people below, and he spoke, "This time, our Annihilation Demon Nation has come last in the Six Kingdoms War, not only losing our reputation but also affecting the Patrolling Celestial World trial.

Although I've sent Mo Wu and others to the Patrolling Celestial World, we can't ensure that there won't be any accidents. And if an accident occurs, I fear the Annihilation Demon Nation will lose its qualification as a Divine Nation. Therefore, starting now, the entire nation must prepare for battle; all the armies must assemble.

As soon as the results from the Patrolling Celestial World are out, if the Annihilation Demon Nation loses its Divine Nation status, we will launch a relentless war on the Genesis Divine Nation, and we will fight to the death!"

Having said this, Mo Mietian closed his eyes, seemingly to calm the fury in his heart. After a long while, with his eyes still closed, he continued, "Mo Zhan, in my name, prepare a significant gift and personally go to the Netherworld World to congratulate Yue Huangquan on winning first place in the Six Kingdoms War. Meanwhile, covertly inform agent number two of the grand plan to commence action!

As for how to get there, you know the way, don't you?"

After Mo Mietian finished speaking, a person at the lower end of the table knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "Mo Zhan hereby receives the order, I know how to reach the Netherworld World. Lord Domain Ruler, rest assured, this time, the Netherworld World shall find no peace!"

Mo Mietian nodded, signaling everyone to leave. He, however, directly tore through space and headed for the Myriad Demons Country!

This time, the loss to the Myriad Demons Country was also significant.

Of the twelve competitors, only Hao Chen and Bu Yun had survived, which meant that "Yao Wumeng" had actually died. This was no small matter as Yao Wumeng not only possessed a Shadow Stele but also had a Elixir Spirit Pill. Although it wasn't a true Elixir Spirit Pill, it nevertheless had a powerful healing ability.

Even so, he still died, suggesting that the other Great Divine Nations had also secretly nurtured some strong individuals over this long period!

Besides that, what Mo Mietian cared about was whether there was any possibility of exposure for another aspect of the grand plan. After all, when Yao Wumeng died during the Six Kingdoms War, he would certainly reveal his true form, which could lead to the leak of the plan!
