Chapter 444: The Iron Blood City
The 98th floor of the Divine Imperial Palace...
Ye Fan, Ku Heshang, and the others were all extremely shocked after listening to what Granny Cripple had to say.
When they saw the resources in the Divine Imperial Palace earlier, they had a vague guess. However, after listening to these words, the shock in their hearts rose in a straight line.
One had to know that when they passed by the Abyssal Giant not long ago, the terrifying pressure of a Gold Rank made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention Ku Heshang and the others, even the chosen one, Ye Fan, felt heavy-hearted.
However, such a terrifying Gold Rank Abyssal Giant was just a small soldier of the Abyss invasion.
Above the Gold Rank, there were Half-Saint Rank, Low-Level Saint Rank, Mid-Level Saint Rank, High-Level Saint Rank, Saint Rank Peak, and the legendary Demigod Rank.
These existences that surpassed the Gold Rankwere so powerful and shocking that no one could imagine how powerful they were.
An army of one million Gold Rank experts, a large number of Saint Rank experts, and two Demigod Ranks had actually been blocked by Qin Zhantian. He had withstood all of them by himself.
In everyone’s minds, they could not help but imagine the scene of Qin Zhantian’s battle.
They could feel the terrifying pressure Qin Zhantian had been under at that time.
At that time, Qin Zhantian had no one to rely on, no teammates to accompany him, and no helpers to help him out. He could only rely on himself, relying on his thin shoulders to support the hopes of humanity.
Such a scene shocked everyone. They could not imagine how tragic the scene was.
Inexplicably, the power of the world enveloped Ye Fan.
In an instant, the scene of Qin Zhantian fighting in the Abyss appeared in Ye Fan’s mind.
It was the scene of Qin Zhantian fighting alone in the million-strong army. Fresh blood dyed Qin Zhantian’s robe, soaked his long hair, and wounds covered his entire body.
Qin Zhantian, who was not very strong, fought alone in the enemy formation like a tide. One man and one saber fought in all directions. Under the attacks of the two Demigod Rank enemies, he tragically blocked the enemy’s invasion.
All kinds of sneak attacks, curses and weakening abilities covered Qin Zhantian. Sinister traps, green poisonous gas, blood-colored array formations, and terrifying spatial slashes locked onto Qin Zhantian’s surroundings.
The enemies attacked crazily without caring about the casualties, using all sorts of methods to fight. They even formed a giant formation, continuously surrounding and killing Qin Zhantian, causing Qin Zhantian to fall into desperate situations time and time again.
However, Qin Zhantian did not fall into despair, because he could not fall into despair. If even he fell into despair, then the humans would have no hope at all, and he could only become hope.
Relying on his powerful strength and his desperate counterattacks time and time again, he finally won. His bloodied body stood on top of the sea of one million corpses, supporting himself with his long saber as he howled toward the sky.
That scene caused Ye Fan’s heart to tremble, and he retreated several steps.
“Ye Fan, what’s wrong?” Ku Heshang looked at Ye Fan in puzzlement.
“Nothing, I just saw the battle scene of the Divine Emperor. It was too intense, and all of us owe him,” Ye Fan said with a heavy heart.
“That’s right. I didn’t expect the Divine Emperor, who was cursed, to protect this world alone. The Resistance Army that we built is simply a joke.” Ku Heshang sighed deeply.
“Divine Emperor... The Divine Emperor should announce this matter. Only then can we help,” said the red-eyed beauty in the team.
“Help? How? Not to mention the past, even now, the combined strength of all our countries can’t even defeat an abyss giant soldier? How can we help?”
“If this matter were to be made public, other than making the world even more chaotic, it would basically be of no use.”
Ye Fan laughed bitterly. He finally understood why the Divine Emperor was hiding this matter.
Some things were better left unsaid. Everyone lived in a fabricated lie and could continue to survive and maintain basic order, just like the current world order.
However, if someone told them that there was a terrifying Abyss invading, and all of the human countries combined would not be able to defeat a single Abyss soldier... That kind of despair would instantly cause the world order to collapse.
When that time came, the world would be in chaos and the world would not need anyone else to invade. Ye Fan finally understood what the Divine Emperor was doing.
However, Ye Fan was still a little puzzled about the matter of the Witch Giant. He could not help but look at the Granny Cripple and said solemnly.
“Granny, can you tell us about the Witch Giant? Oh right, there’s also the Strange God Sect. As the Strange God Sect invaded the world, why did the Divine Emperor allow them to occupy the slums of the various cities?”
“Because it’s your turn to support this world. The Divine Emperor can’t hold on any longer.”
Granny Cripple sighed, causing the hearts of everyone present to sink.
Everyone had been guessing where the Divine Emperor had gone and why he had not appeared. There were also many questions regarding where the people from the divine imperial palace had gone in the past.
However, what everyone was most afraid of was that the Divine Emperor could not hold on any longer. If the Divine Emperor was no longer around, what would happen to this world?
“Listen up, I’ll continue to tell you the story of the Divine Emperor, which is what happened after the Divine Emperor and the million-soldier Abyss army.”
Granny Cripple paused for a moment before continuing, “That battle was called the loneliest battle in history by us.”
“After that battle, the Divine Emperor’s great name reverberated through the surrounding worlds and entered our ears, attracting many worshippers and followers.”
“At that time, in addition to invading your world, the million-soldier Abyss army would also invade a total of 15 worlds. However, because of the Divine Emperor’s victory, 15 worlds ushered in a short period of peace.”
” The Sharkman World, Little Giant World, Berserker World, Mad Demon World, Lingyun World... There were too many powerhouses from too many worlds that went through the world maze and sought refuge with the Divine Emperor.”
“Those who sought refuge formed the Divine Emperor’s three generals, the 12 commanders, the 36 guards, and the Divine Emperor’s army. We worshipped the Divine Emperor and were willing to serve him as our master.”
“For example, Commander Jiu was skilled in healing. She helped the Divine Emperor reconstruct his lost limbs and heal his internal organs.”
“However, the Divine Emperor was too strong. His reconstructed limbs and organs were unable to withstand the Divine Emperor’s strength and could only play a supporting role.”
“Even so, it still made the Divine Emperor’s eyes light up.”
“Later on, the Divine Emperor Army that we formed raised the Divine Emperor’s ‘Tian’ flag and fought everywhere in the abyss, weakening the power of the abyss.
“The Divine Emperor Army defeated the Abyss Army in this area. Wherever the Divine Emperor flag passed, the Abyssal Creatures would retreat and no Abyssal Creatures would dare to approach.”
“If you enter the Abyss in the future, you’ll have the chance to see many Divine Emperor’s flags. Every time we win, we’ll even carve the word ‘Tian’ on the mountain walls.
“The purpose is to intimidate the Abyssal Creatures so that they won’t dare to approach the area with these words.”
“This is because we’ve built a huge Iron Blood City in the Abyss here as the base camp to fight against the Abyss.”
