Taptaptap!

Clanging footsteps rang out in the underground chamber as people filed in through the secret door.

These people swiftly came in. One person stood in front of almost every Shadow Dragon member, and if one looked carefully, these newcomers had immature faces and were clearly not as strong. However, they had the insignia of the Shadow Dragons on their chests.

It was clear that these were new recruits of the Shadow Dragon Division.

“Begin!”

Bai Hanzhou’s eyes flashed as he swept his eyes through the room, and following his order, the Shadow Dragon members placed their hands on the bodies of the people in front of them.

Bang!

In a rush of air, the room exploded with light, each Shadow Dragon member radiating intense pulses of energy. This energy rapidly formed into Yin Yang symbols.

In the blink of an eye, suns and moons began to appear in this underground chamber.

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

These people were using the martial art that Wang Chong had granted to them, and they had clearly reached an extremely high level in it.

With boom after boom, Stellar Energy surged into these young figures.

They were using this method to power up these new members of the Shadow Dragon Division!

As time slowly passed, more and more Yin Yang Stellar Energy flowed into them, and they grew stronger and stronger.

Several hours later, once the ceremony was over, these young people finally opened their eyes. Their bodies were now seething with energy, and it seemed like they had experienced a complete transformation.

Bai Hanzhou, Zhao Fengchen, and Li Xuanyi all nodded in satisfaction at this sight.

The Shadow Dragon Division was completely different from what it was when it first started. Through constant training and constant injections of energy, the Shadow Dragon Division had rapidly expanded. At present, even if all the men in black of the Celestial God Organization were mobilized, the Shadow Dragon Division would still be able to completely suppress them.

“You may send a reply to the Supreme King. The Shadow Dragon Division is ready for battle!”

Li Xuanyi took a few steps forward, and as he looked at the ranks of the Shadow Dragon Division, there was a sense of incredible accomplishment in his eyes.

The war was coming, and three years had gone by in a flash. Everyone had a crucial role to play in this war. The three of them had fulfilled the promise they had made. No matter what opponent they faced, the Shadow Dragon Division would be able to charge in without fear.

……

……

Meanwhile, far away from the continent, in the depths of spacetime…

In a place close to outer space, a golden dimension floated in the air, and several figures floated within.

These people were none other than the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, and Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen. The three of them were like statues, floating motionlessly in the air, but around them, higher universal energy constantly rushed into their bodies in golden torrents, strengthening them.

All beneath Grotto Heaven were ants!

In a clash between apex experts, even Subtle realm experts were irrelevant. Thus, in that battle after the third lunar eclipse, even though the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, and Su Zhengchen had all worked together, they had still been no match for Heaven. And in the future, once Heaven broke out of his seal, they would be even less of a match. With only Subtle realm strength, they wouldn’t even be able to offer support.

Thus, three years ago, Wang Chong had used his immense strength to create this dimension at the edge of space, leaving his halo divine tool there. Through the halo divine tool, large amounts of universal energy could be drawn into the dimension and used to help the three cultivate.

Moreover, the closer to outer space one was, the more concentrated the universal energy. This was also why Wang Chong had chosen to establish this dimension at the edge of space.

As time passed, all three of them remained like cocoons, floating motionlessly in the air as the pulses of spacetime energy around them grew more and more concentrated.

Crack!

Suddenly, cracking sounds came from the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s body, and a moment later, like a porcelain vase that had been struck, the surface of the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s body became covered in countless little black cracks.

Bang!

When all these shards fell to the ground, a black Halo of Spacetime erupted from beneath the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s feet, and a beam of spacetime energy shot out from the top of the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s head into the depths of the universe.

Rumble!

The shockwave released by this energy caused the countless parallel dimensions and spacetimes around this dimension to tremble, and even the golden universal energy around was greatly shaken.

Keeee!

As if infected by the Demonic Emperor Old Man, Su Zhengchen suddenly opened his eyes, his aura as sharp as a sword as a dazzling white beam of Sword Qi shot up from his head, piercing through the firmament and into space.

A crackling sound came from the center of his brow, like water freezing into ice. This was a Grotto Heaven Core rapidly taking form.

Bang!

Su Zhengchen’s robes rustled as a bright white Halo of Spacetime burst out from beneath his feet, and Su Zhengchen’s energy levels soared to the heavens.

The Grotto Heaven realm!

After three years, utilizing Wang Chong’s experience, which had included the memories from the Yellow Emperor and Origin Supreme, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Su Zhengchen had finally broken through that threshold and reached the Grotto Heaven realm.

Moreover, the two of them had both passed the age of sixty long ago, so they had accumulated more experience than most. With the energy from the halo divine tool, the moment they broke through the threshold, they began to soar in power, moving from the basic level to the middle level and even threatening to reach the high level. The Grotto Heaven Cores within their bodies also grew increasingly stable.

Three years!

Before his seclusion, Wang Chong had already known that these three would play a vital role in the coming war. Only they were capable of contending against the elite fighters at Heaven’s side.

From that moment on, Wang Chong had drafted a plan that would guarantee that the three of them could break into the Grotto Heaven realm.

And after three long years, everything seemed to be going according to plan.

Buzz!

Moments after breaking through, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Su Zhengchen glanced at each other.

They had both reaped a great harvest from their breakthrough. Besides the increase in power, their appearance had also changed. They had originally both been old and wrinkled, but now, they discovered that their appearance had greatly transformed.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man had gone from appearing around sixty years old to his early forties, when he was at his prime. His hair was all black and his face was brimming with energy, and his lips were even sporting a thick black beard. All of the wrinkles on his forehead had been smoothed away.

Su Zhengchen had experienced an even greater transformation. He was already over one hundred years old, even older than the Demonic Emperor Old Man, but in a few brief moments, his head of white hair had turned black, as had his beard, and he went from looking seventy-some years old to fifty-some years old. He appeared extremely energetic.

Moreover, many years of frustrations and setbacks had left his body thin and emaciated. However, upon reaching the Grotto Heaven realm, his complexion rapidly improved, and his body no longer appeared so emaciated.

The two of them glanced at each other and exchanged a subtle nod.

The two of them were both teachers to Wang Chong. Their almost simultaneous breakthrough meant that they could provide substantive assistance to him when the war came.

The two of them quickly turned to the last of their number.

Only the Wushang Village Chief had yet to break through.

But he didn’t keep them waiting for long. A few moments later, his energy began to rapidly shift. Rumble! With a massive explosion, shockwaves began to radiate from his body, sweeping through the dimension and pushing back the torrents of golden universal energy.

Countless soft cracks came from the Wushang Village Chief’s head, like ice was forming.

Bang!

A moment later, a dark red Halo of Spacetime erupted from beneath the Wushang Village Chief’s feet, and he opened his eyes.

The Grotto Heaven realm!

At this moment, the Wushang Village Chief had also broken through that threshold.

His appearance also began to change, his age reversing until it stopped at around sixty years old.

“Hahaha!”

The three of them looked at each other. The Demonic Emperor Old Man was the first to laugh, after which all three of them broke into laughter.

After three years of bitter effort, they had all succeeded on the same day. They had not let down everyone’s expectations and had successfully achieved their important objective.

“Let’s go. It’s about time to meet with Chong-er and the others!”

The three of them instantly vanished from that mysterious dimension.

……

……

In the capital of the Great Tang…

Whoosh!

A messenger bird descended from the sky into the Supreme King Residence, located southwest of the Imperial Palace.

A hand reached out and received the bird, taking the letter that it carried.

“Milord, we have just received word. Our people searched the entire region, but we found no sign of the faceless man!” the kneeling guard said respectfully to the youthful figure seated in the hall.

The hall was silent. After a long while, a figure walked out of the shadows.

This figure was strong and muscular. It was not Young Master Qingyang, or Old Eagle, or Zhang Que, or Xu Keyi or any of the others. It was a completely strange face. While there were some traces of similarity to Wang Chong on the face, it was also completely different.

Even so, no one in the Supreme King Residence found this person to be an alien presence. In fact, everyone in the hall showed extreme respect for this individual.
