Chapter 1115 - 1002: Otherworld Betrayal
Quan Douhe initially wanted to criticize those Divine World natives for not attacking Tang Qi and the team he led just now, but upon reconsideration, he realized it was not appropriate for him to criticize them.If those Divine World natives got angry with him and realized the situation was unfavorable for them, they might side with Tang Qi, leaving him destined to die in this Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.
Although he, as a Residual Soul, had occupied the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace for a long time, in the past he lacked a Body and couldn't decipher many Arrays within the palace.
He could only modify some Arrays of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, but he wasn't omnipotent and couldn't change all the Arrays inside the palace.
As Tang Qi specialized in setting up Arrays and he did not, he could only modify some Arrays, while others left him pondering arduously without resolution.
At this moment, Tang Qi led those Exotic Realm Creatures to meet Lord Netherworld's group of Exotic Realm Creatures.
He had, from memories of some Human Warriors, learned that Divine World Martial Artists and Exotic Realm Creatures were sworn enemies, but he had no interest in whether Exotic Realm Creatures would invade the Divine World.
Now, as merely a Residual Soul, his two convictions were to regain control of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace and kill Quan Douhe, prompting him to decide to cooperate with the Exotic Realm Creatures.
He had no choice left.
On the other hand, the Exotic Realm Creatures were naturally delighted upon seeing their Lord Netherworld leading his team into the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.
A few Exotic Realm Creatures secretly discussed and decided to inform Lord Netherworld of everything here, letting him make the decision.
They knew their status among Exotic Realm Creatures was low, and they couldn't make decisions for Lord Netherworld.
Tang Qi originally sought more reinforcements, but unexpectedly, once the Exotic Realm Creatures united with Lord Netherworld's group, they adhered strictly to Lord Netherworld's commands.
Lord Netherworld was a four-meter-tall demon with a bird head and bird body but human-like hands, presenting a very peculiar appearance.
Tang Qi hoped his familiarity with the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace would encourage Lord Netherworld to cooperate with him.
However, to his surprise, Lord Netherworld dispatched subordinates to encircle him.
"You heretics must die!"
Lord Netherworld coldly declared.
"Desecrating the Divine World is what deserves death!"
Tang Qi knew of the hostility between the Divine World and Otherworld, but aiming to eliminate the formidable threat of Quan Douhe, he previously overlooked this enmity.
Yet now, surrounded by a large group of Exotic Realm Creatures and labelled a heretic, he erupted in fury, shocked to be treated as such.
He, a dignified Divine World Martial Artist, was now deemed a heretic, leaving him indignant!
"Die, heretic!"
Lord Netherworld sneered, waving his right hand as countless black Fireballs erupted towards Tang Qi.
The Fireballs lacked heat, were extremely cold yet possessed intense destructive power.
Tang Qi sensed the Fireballs twisting the surrounding Void severely, his expression changing as he grasped the terrifying force within them.
Realizing his Soul Power was nearly depleted, he knew completely consuming it would lead to his soul scattering — an undesirable result.
His eyes flickered thrice, his mind activated, enveloping him in potent Transmission Energy, then he vanished into the Void.
Lord Netherworld's Fireballs struck Tang Qi's Defensive Spirit Card instead.
The Fireballs blasting the Defensive Token caused explosive clamor.
The Defensive Token bought Tang Qi time to escape, shattering afterward.
Lord Netherworld sensed Transmission Energy fluctuations ahead, realizing Tang Qi had been teleported away.
"Where is that Tang Qi?"
Lord Netherworld promptly queried the prior Exotic Realm Creatures.
"Lord Netherworld, I am willing to lead you to find Tang Qi!"
Every Exotic Realm Creature volunteered, eager to lead Lord Netherworld to Tang Qi.
"Lead the way, all of you!"
Seeing them competing for credit, Lord Netherworld slightly furrowed his brow and had them lead the way together.
"Alright!"
The Exotic Realm Creatures promptly guided Lord Netherworld and over a thousand Exotic Realm Creatures towards the Teleportation Array where they awaited.
Meanwhile, within the Teleportation Array, Duan Gujin was deciphering the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation on the ground.
Suddenly, he sensed potent Transmission Energy in the surrounding Void.
"Situation!"
He immediately ceased deciphering the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation, readying defenses.
Upon recognizing the creature before him as Tang Qi, his expression changed markedly, his eyes flickered.
Tang Qi steadied himself, glanced around, and announced: "Everyone, the situation has changed. Those Exotic Realm Creatures deceived me and are advancing here. Prepare defenses and get ready to confront the Exotic Realm Creatures immediately!"
Duan Gujin and the Ascension Academy disciples present tensed upon hearing this message.
Though they had predicted betrayal by the Exotic Realm Creatures, the arrival of the moment left them anxious.
"Prepare for battle immediately!"
Mo Yan commanded the Ascension Academy disciples to gear up for battle against the Exotic Realm Creatures.
Tang Qi glanced at Duan Gujin, promptly detecting his intention to decipher the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation he had set here.
"This Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation was originally a formidable array here; how did Duan Gujin intend to unravel it?"
After a moment's thought, he conjectured that people of this era might have found a way to decipher the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation.
Thus, choosing not to quarrel with Duan Gujin, he promptly asked Duan Gujin: "Friend, do you know how to decipher this array?"
Duan Gujin flushed, akin to being caught red-handed by a spouse, feeling unspeakable embarrassment.
Fortunately, thinking swiftly, he answered: "Upon seeing the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation, I felt it was peculiar. I thought perhaps revealing its secrets might yield a treasure. I know some cracking methods, but estimate needing several days to decipher the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation!"
Tang Qi replied: "I see, given the critical situation, I'll transmit the method to decipher the Thousand Mechanism Absolute Formation to you. Once successfully done, it'll save everyone!"
