Chapter 607: The Onset of War, A Deadly Situation!
Chapter 607: The Onset of War, A Deadly Situation!
“You humans’ true target is our Ghost Race, not those minor Great God-level juniors!” Ten Kill Supreme spoke coldly.
Primordial Supreme and Yuan Ming Supreme remained silent, but their indifferent expressions and lack of rebuttal said it all.
“So that’s how it is!”
Ten Kill Supreme finally understood that the so-called Netherworld Trial was merely a part of the human plan. This plan aimed to annihilate the Great God-level members of the Ghost Race, provoking them into breaking the agreement.
In this way, the humans would have an excuse.
Regardless of whether this excuse was flimsy, it would still be enough to deceive other great cosmic clans.
Thus, humans could officially strike against the Ghost Race.
The two clans were already enemies. Due to the agreement between the great cosmic clans, it was difficult to wage a full-scale war without an excuse. Only minor skirmishes occurred previously.
But now, humans had found their excuse.
“Run!”Ten Kill Supreme fled quickly, abandoning the other Ghost Race members. He only cared about his own life. If he died here, the Ghost Race would be in real danger.
“You can’t escape!”
The voice of Primordial Supreme echoed.
Suddenly, a divine blade pierced the chest of Ten Kill Supreme, directly wounding him.
“Divine Blade Supreme!”
Ten Kill Supreme glared hatefully at the newly arrived Divine Blade Supreme, who was also one of the twelve human Supremes.
Originally, the strength of Divine Blade Supreme was about the same as Ten Kill Supreme. But now, Ten Kill Supreme realized that Divine Blade Supreme’s power had surpassed his own.
“The Celestial Race… it was rumored that after humans became Celestials, their strength increased significantly. I didn’t expect even their Supremes to grow so much stronger!”
Ten Kill Supreme felt unwilling, but his strength was insufficient, leaving him little hope of escape.
Moreover, with a clone of Primordial Supreme and Divine Blade Supreme together, his death seemed certain.
Primordial Supreme’s spear struck again. Ten Kill Supreme tried his best to block it but was still heavily wounded by the attack.
Soon, under the combined assault of Primordial Supreme and Divine Blade Supreme, Ten Kill Supreme finally succumbed and perished.
As Ten Kill Supreme fell, the heavens wept.
Above the Ten Kill Palace, blood rain poured down, and a boundless sorrow echoed throughout the palace.
The Ten Kill Palace was the power established by Ten Kill Supreme. Such an anomaly quickly became known throughout the Ghost Race.
In the Ghost Deity Hall of the Ghost Race, the First Supreme of the Ghost Race, the Hundred Ghosts Supreme, seemed to see the situation at the Ten Kill Palace through the void. He calculated swiftly and learned about the fate of Ten Kill Supreme.
“Ten Kill Supreme has fallen!”
An expression of sorrow appeared on the face of the Hundred Ghosts Supreme, the First Supreme of the Ghost Race.
This statement shocked the surrounding Ghost Race members. Ten Kill Supreme was one of the three great Supremes, not an ordinary Supreme, comparable to the twelve Supremes of the human race.
How could such a powerful Supreme fall? Hundred Ghosts Supreme wouldn’t say this lightly; it was most likely true.
Soon, the news of Ten Kill Supreme’s fall spread across countless forces within the Ghost Race.
The details of his death also emerged—it was the work of human Supremes.
“Declare war!”
“Declare war!”
“Declare war!”
Countless members of the Ghost Race demanded war against the human race.
Some enraged Ghost Race warriors even infiltrated human territories, attempting to slaughter humans. However, they were quickly killed by human experts.
Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, Ye Tian and other human Gods soon killed all the Ghost Race Gods, completing the task assigned by the human high command.
Ye Tian and the other human Gods left the Netherworld, sealing and taking the Extreme Yin Supreme Treasure back to the Primordial Divine Mountain.
A few days later, the human race officially announced the commencement of war against the Ghost Race. The stated reason was the violation of the agreement and the attempted assassination of Yuan Ming Supreme, who was then killed by the combined forces of Primordial Supreme and Divine Blade Supreme.
The humans declared that their dignity could not be compromised. The Ghost Race’s breach of the agreement was an affront, necessitating war.
With this declaration, many within the Ghost Race who previously called for war against humans now found themselves panicked.
The human race was powerful, far stronger than the Ghost Race.
In the Supreme Hall of Humanity, Ye Tian reviewed the latest intelligence.
According to the information, the war between the Humans and Ghosts was imminent. The human race had already established numerous war fortresses at the borders, with a vast fleet heading there.
Additionally, human Supremes, Dominators, Universal Gods, and Galaxy-level warriors were all moving to the front lines. It would be a brutal war.
Conquering the Ghost Race wouldn’t be a problem, but the human race would undoubtedly suffer losses too.
Yet, for the prosperity and development of the human race, this was a necessary step.
If the human race remained stagnant, the Ghost Race might become a future threat. The two were natural enemies, having fought countless battles in the past.
“Unfortunately, I cannot participate in such a war,” Ye Tian lamented.
Although his current strength was not weak, he had only reached the peak of the Great God level. His combat power allowed him to fight beyond his level, but he could only handle some galaxy-level opponents.
In the war between humans and the Ghost Race, galaxy-level combatants were essentially cannon fodder. The true deciders of the war’s outcome were the Supremes.
Once the Supremes’ battles concluded, the war would effectively be over.
Thus, this war was destined to end quickly.
The next day, the war began! On the first day alone, the humans, at the cost of a gravely injured Supreme, killed two Ghost Race Supremes and four Heavenly Venerables.
On the second day, another Ghost Race Supreme fell.
By the sixth day, the second of the Ghost Race’s three great Supremes, the Black Prison Supreme, was also killed by Primordial Supreme.
Simultaneously, battles at the Dominator, Universal God, and Galaxy levels were exceedingly brutal. Although the Ghost Race suffered heavy losses, the humans also endured significant casualties.
Overall, the humans advanced steadily, crushing the Ghost Race and occupying one star field after another.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the Ghost Race was exterminated.
In the Ghost Deity Hall, the First Supreme of the Ghost Race, the Hundred Ghosts Supreme, appeared as a phantom. Besides him, only four ordinary Supremes remained in the Ghost Race.
These four ordinary Supremes dared not appear in person. If all Supremes gathered here, they would have no escape if human Supremes besieged them.
“Everyone, our Ghost Race is doomed to lose this time!”
The Hundred Ghosts Supreme said forlornly.
“Hundred Ghosts Supreme, can’t we seek help from other great cosmic clans?” one ordinary Supreme asked.
“It’s useless!”
The Hundred Ghosts Supreme sighed. “This time, our Ghost Race broke the agreement first. The humans have a legitimate reason to wage war. Other great cosmic clans can’t intervene, or they’d be violating the agreement too.
Ordinary cosmic clans won’t risk war with the humans, and the more powerful cosmic clans disdain helping us.
Some cosmic clans might even want to use our Ghost Race to test the humans’ current strength. How could they possibly help us?”
“What should we do then?”
The other Supremes looked grim.
“First, we must send a portion of our elite Ghost Race members to various parts of the universe to ensure our clan’s survival.
Secondly, we must escape. Once we reach other regions of the universe, it will be difficult for the humans to hunt us down.
Moreover, we have one crucial task—to kill the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws! It was because of him that our Ghost Race ended up in this situation. He must die!”
The Hundred Ghosts Supreme roared in anger.
“The Prince of Ten Thousand Laws is in the Supreme Hall of Humanity, the humans’ base. Moreover, the Supreme Hall of Humanity is one of their most powerful supreme treasures. We can’t infiltrate it, and neither can our other members. How can we kill the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws?” an ordinary Supreme asked.
“Don’t forget, we have spies within the human race. It’s time to activate them.
Although this will result in those spies’ deaths, if we can kill the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws, it will deeply hurt the humans!” The Hundred Ghosts Supreme said.
“Yes, we do have spies among the humans. They can indeed take action!”
The other Supremes nodded, agreeing to the plan.
Soon, the Supremes discussed the plan to assassinate Ye Tian and began their arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
By now, the Ghost Race had completely collapsed. Most of their territory had fallen into human hands, though they hadn’t yet managed these new territories.
The humans continued hunting the Hundred Ghosts Supreme and other Heavenly Venerables and Universal Gods. Any sign of them would immediately attract a human Supreme’s assault.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian was cultivating in the Supreme Hall of Humanity’s Heaven Region.
Suddenly, news came from Tianlan Giant City’s Tian Pavilion.
“A force is troubling the Tian Pavilion and has captured some members.”
Hearing this news, Ye Tian was furious.
In Tianlan Giant City, everyone knew the Tian Pavilion was his property. Anyone daring to act like this was challenging him directly, showing no regard for him.
Concerned about the Tian Pavilion, Ye Tian couldn’t ignore it.
He left the Supreme Hall of Humanity and headed to Tianlan Giant City.
As soon as he walked down a street in Tianlan Giant City, an unexpected change occurred.
“Die, Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!”
A spear pierced through the air, spreading terrifying might across Tianlan Giant City. Fortunately, Tianlan Giant City was not an ordinary city; otherwise, the pressure alone would have paralyzed it.
Yet, this pressure still immobilized countless powerful beings in Tianlan Giant City, including Ye Tian.
“Dominator!”
Ye Tian was shocked. A Dominator was attacking him.
“You won’t harm the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws!”
Dominator Dark appeared, blocking the spear for Ye Tian.
But as Ye Tian sighed in relief, a figure appeared nearby, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Ye Tian.
This was a Universal God-level archer! And he launched an attack on Ye Tian from a close distance, while Dominator Dark was still entangled.
“This is a deadly situation!”
Ye Tian thought to himself.
