Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 762: Chapter 358: I am coming to kill you!

At last, Qin Zhi, Liu Sheng, and Wolf Map, three Fourth Ring Seat powerhouses, were absent from the ark gathering, and it was speculated they had already perished.

This was a significant event, worthy of the attention of all electors.

However, at this moment, within the Ark Hall, nearly all the Ark Chosen Ones were focusing on the scroll on the wall.

To be precise, they were focusing on the fifth painting.

In the painting, the previously blurred images became increasingly solid, and three huge white branches stretched out from the earth, towering between heaven and earth. The densely interwoven white branches extended as if reaching beyond the edge of the painting. Each intersecting branch was surrounded by mysterious patterns.

That was the Time Tree. Each branch extension represented a timeline, from the past, to the present, and into the future…

There was a Forbidden Zone legend that if one obtained the Time Worm, one could ascend the Time Tree, traversing the past, present, and future, and even change history.

At this moment, a segment of the Time Tree’s branch had broken through from the future to the present.

A highly dangerous existence—or perhaps several—was invading this world’s timeline.

This made nearly all the electors sober up, whether they were Forbidden Zone Creatures or Humans, or even some hidden Divine Chosen among them.

They were all highly attentive to this.

The terrifying existence coming from the future… From what era in the future did it come? Hundreds of years later, thousands of years later?

Which descendants could it be from? What was their purpose in coming?

All these questions piqued their curiosity and caution.

The Time Tree was too dangerous and mysterious, and as a component of the Void Realm, it possessed extremely terrifying and marvelous powers.

If one day, Human powerhouses defeated the Forbidden Zones, could it be that Forbidden Zone Creatures would reverse time to change history?

Or perhaps, would it be the humans in desperate straits from the future, coming upstream?

It surely wouldn’t involve a third party, would it? Chaos? Probably not?

Backed by the Chaos Gods, they surely would not be forced to this extent, would they?

Who could it be then?

Everyone was pondering. If they could bring back some information from the future, that would be great.

Others who saw the painting were also sober because they did not know its exact location. Worrying was futile.

Among these Ark Chosen Ones, Jing Lin was sweating profusely.

Others might not know, but how could he not recognize that place?

Those conspicuous Snake Bone Stairs were there in the corner of the painting.

And one branch was growing out from the clouds!

The Time Tree… was in the Divine Treasure Vault, and one of the branches was right by the Snake Bone Long Stairs, near Old Li!

This was the end; how could he be so unlucky as to encounter the calamity of the painting twice?

Having already encountered Disaster Fog number 71 was bad enough, and now this?

Jing Lin was tremendously shaken, urgently desiring to know more about this painting.

“Book Holder, the fifth image has already appeared!”

“Please tell us the information about the fifth painting!”

“Will the fifth calamity really happen before the third and fourth?”

However, the Book Holder, located in the Second Ring, responded nonchalantly: “I know, everyone. Old rules, I will reveal the information at the end.”

No matter how dire the situation, the Book Holder intended to reveal the calamity information last, claiming it was to avoid interrupting the trading spirit.

“At least tell us where this is?” an elector from the Third Ring asked frowningly. “Is it close to any Giant City, or near some Forbidden Zone?”

This was what the electors were most concerned about; if the calamity was still far away, they naturally didn’t need to worry, for worrying was useless anyhow.

But if it was nearby, that could be dreadful. Nobody knew if the beings from the future were friend or foe, their number, or their combat power. Caution was necessary.

“It’s… around the Divine Treasure Vault near Lava Mine City!” someone whispered. The speaker was a burly man wearing a quirky helmet and cloaked in a beast skin coat.

“Li Ming, did you actually recognize this place?” someone inquired.

Li Ming, supposedly an Ark Chosen One active in the South Asia Region, a Fourth Ring Seat powerhouse.

Li Ming didn’t answer the question but instead looked around and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all I can say.”

The next second, he turned into a white light and left the Ark Hall.

Almost simultaneously, after hearing the words ‘Divine Treasure Vault’, several Ark Chosen Ones also turned into a white light and disappeared.

Jing Lin didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately leaving the ark. He no longer had the time to trade with everyone and had to inform the official of the Giant City about the information immediately and then come back to gather more related information.

Upon returning to the temporary base inside the Immortal Palace, he immediately rushed out of the room to find Captain Yin Huo.

“Captain Yin Huo, fuck, we’re in big trouble!”

…

Meanwhile, not far from the Ascending Immortal Long Stairs, in a valley where a cave had been temporarily opened.

A burly man clad in a beast skin coat removed his helmet, and the robust muscles on his body dissolved in moments, revealing a young woman with a ponytail.

It was Yun Yue, the Wilderness Ranger!

The girl donned her clothes, covering her fair body, picked up the nearby Horse-Cutting Blade, and swiftly walked out of the cave.

Looking at the distant Ascending Immortal Long Stairs that connected heaven and earth, the girl murmured, “Is this the reason the green flame was ignited?”

…

And outside the Immortal Palace, in a mysterious jungle in the South Asia Region, Zhu Tu, upon receiving the news, opened his eyes in alarm.

Without any hesitation, his voice roared inside the room.

“Quick, tell Emperor’s Fall to evacuate the Immortal Palace!”

What had he done? To deal with the Wilderness Ranger, he’d sent a Divine Chosen favored by the Blood God back to the Giant City as an undercover, even introducing him into the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace, right in front of the calamity? If something went wrong now, he’d be in deep trouble.
