Tycoon War God

Chapter 1226 - 1226: Your Time Is Running Out!

"The Ten Kings Command involves the secret of the Forbidden Sand Sea, you..."

The Nanyuan King's words stopped bitterly halfway, "Right, with your strength, you can freely enter and exit the Forbidden Sand Sea, utterly indifferent to these secrets..."

Strength determines everything.

A Ten Kings powerhouse like the Nanyuan King cannot leave the Forbidden Sand Sea, so they treat the Ten Kings Command as a supreme treasure, hoping to uncover its secrets to find a glimmer of hope for escaping the Forbidden Sand Sea.

But to Lin Wudi, this secret is worthless.

He wanted to make a deal with Lin Wudi but could not present anything that would satisfy an existence like Lin Wudi.

Resources?

He had been trapped for hundreds of thousands of years in the Forbidden Sand Sea, without any at all.

Sand Sea Crystal?

Given Lin Wudi's aptitude, there's no need!

Cultivation Technique, magical treasures, Ten Kings Command.

Everything he could offer could not satisfy Lin Wudi.

He sadly realized he had no leverage to make a deal with Lin Wudi.

"In that case, die then!"

Lin Mu moved his mind, turning the Tribulation Thought into a Blade of Thought, striking toward the Nanyuan King.

Lin Mu actually admired this man, the Nanyuan King.

Being able to pull everyone with him in his certain death situation as a funeral entourage, this man has some courage.

But he pulled Lin Mu into the Ghost Specter, which was a path to death.

For enemies, no matter how much admiration there is, Lin Mu would not hold back.

"Hidden King!"

Just before the Nanyuan King was about to be killed, he suddenly shouted with a flash of inspiration, "I can use the secret of the Hidden King to make a deal with you!"

"Hidden King? Are you referring to the Southern King?"

While in Flowing Sand City, the two Divine Envoys tried to invite him to the Divine Realm, to meet the so-called Southern King.

According to Kong Luo, the Southern King is one of the Hidden Kings.

The Nanyuan King paused, surprised that Lin Wudi even knew about the Hidden King.

"It's my mistake, a talent like you, how could the Hidden King not pay attention..."

The Nanyuan King gave a self-deprecating smile, then continued, "You know about the Hidden King, but do you know what the Hidden King is?"

Lin Mu wasn't concerned, his expression moved slightly, then said, "You have half of an incense stick's time left; ten thousand Third Tribulation Ghost Wraiths are about to arrive!"

Lin Mu is undergoing his Second Thunder Tribulation, the Nanyuan King is undergoing his Third.

The Ghost Wraiths between them don't interfere with each other; Lin Mu cannot attack the Third Tribulation Ghost Wraiths, so he cannot save the Nanyuan King.

The Nanyuan King's life only has half an incense stick's worth of time left.

Of course, during this time, he could step onto the Divine Temple and destroy the Black Smoke Monster.

But Lin Mu didn't intend to do so; the Nanyuan King wasn't qualified for him to do it.

"The Hidden King refers to the Third Tribulation able to shatter fate, cutting the line of destiny..."

The Nanyuan King knew time was pressing, dared not stall further, told Lin Wudi all about the Hidden King.

According to the Nanyuan King's explanation, initially, the Four Hidden Kings and the Ten Kings were just like ordinary beings trapped in the Forbidden Sand Sea.

Until thirty thousand years ago, the Four Hidden Kings successively found a way to shatter the Light of Destiny, letting the Light of Destiny representing them crumble from atop the Giant Light Tower.

From then on, the Four Hidden Kings diverged from the path of the Ten Kings, embarking on a completely different road.

The Ten Kings, worn down by the Forbidden Sand Sea, no longer harbored fantasies about leaving, just getting by in the Stone Gate Realm, awaiting the depletion of their lifespan.

While the Four Hidden Kings actively sought ways to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea.

After thirty thousand years, the Four Hidden Kings evidently had not succeeded.

But within the Four Hidden Kings lies a huge hidden secret.

After failing to find a way to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea, the Four Hidden Kings started looking for other methods.

Tribulation Transcending!

The Four Hidden King's second path is Tribulation Transcending within the Heavenly Realm, within the Forbidden Sand Sea without entering the Heavenly Battlefield!

Entering the Forbidden Sand Sea and dying there, Tribulation Transcenders rarer than Fourth Thunder Tribulation, thus Fourth Thunder Tribulation Ghost Wraiths are rare.

Only by becoming a Fourth Thunder Tribulation Practitioner can one possibly leave the Forbidden Sand Sea.

"Tribulating in the Heavenly Realm? Impossible!"

Lin Mu said categorically.

The Heavenly Realm is just one among the Myriads of Worlds, with weak barriers, entirely inadequate to brew thunder tribulations for Tribulation Crossers.

Not even one Thunder Tribulation at the Integration Path Boundary, let alone Fourth Thunder Tribulation!

"I don't know why you're so certain, but according to reports from spies in the Hidden King Lineage I planted, the Four Hidden Kings are close to succeeding."

The Nanyuan King looked strangely at Lin Wudi.

He felt that Lin Wudi, when claiming tribulation is impossible in the Heavenly Realm, sounded as certain as those high and aloof Seven or Eight Thunder Tribulation practitioners.

"You've brought this secret for our transaction?"

Lin Mu didn't bother to explain to the Nanyuan King.

He was Emperor Zun in his past life; if he couldn't discern such matters, that would be the real joke.

"Being hunted by the Heavenly Realm Guard, heading to the Heavenly Battlefield would be certain death; isn't the secret of tribulating in the Heavenly Realm worth a transaction?"

The Nanyuan King said, his gaze deep and burning as he looked at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu pointed a finger, and the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars floated in the air.

The Nanyuan King opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

He then remembered that Lin Wudi had this treasure capable of countering the Six-Tribulation Overlord.

With the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars, not even the Heavenly Realm Guard could stop him!

"Failed? Truly unwilling..."

The Nanyuan King was truly in despair.

His final secret still wasn't enough for a transaction with Lin Wudi.

What he deemed significant was worthless in Lin Wudi's eyes.

Awooo!

The Ghost Wraiths' mournful roars were now clearly audible.

In the sky, countless Thunderbolts, like thunder clouds, swept forth.

Numerous Ghost Wraiths surged over like an army.

The countdown on the Nanyuan King's life began.

"Do you know the Ghost Realm?"

Lin Mu suddenly asked.

The Nanyuan King paused, then remembering something seemed hurriedly said, "Ghost Realm? You mean that place filled with Yin Qi, seemingly hellish, full of smoke and death?"

"Correct!"

Lin Mu had asked casually, not expecting the Nanyuan King actually knew something.

"When I wielded the Ten Kings Command, I once dreamt... of the Ghost Realm, a skeleton tempted me, saying that if I agreed to a master-servant pact, it could give me supreme Immortal Law. I thought it was only a nightmare triggered by the Ten Kings Command; unexpectedly, it was real?"

Surprise flashed in the Nanyuan King's eyes.

If Lin Wudi hadn't brought it up, he would've forgotten about the dream.

Thinking the dream could potentially be a real Otherworld, he felt a hidden ache in his heart.

If he had agreed to the skeleton's deal back then, wouldn't he possibly have already left the Forbidden Sand Sea by now?

"The skeleton you describe is a being from the Ghost Realm; their goal is to invade the Heavenly Realm!"

Lin Mu shattered the Nanyuan King's fantasy.

"Invasion of the Heavenly Realm?"

The Nanyuan King, having cultivated to the Third Thunder Tribulation, wasn't a fool.

After brief shock, he suddenly thought of a possibility that sent chills down his spine.

"Ghost Realm... Ghost Specter... is the Forbidden Sand Sea the means for the Ghost Realm's invasion of the Heavenly Realm?"

Before entering the Forbidden Sand Sea, the Demon Realm had already started invading the Heavenly Realm; thus, he wasn't unfamiliar with Otherworld invasions.

Realizing they had unwittingly become pawns for the Ghost Realm sent shivers down the Nanyuan King's spine.

"Your time is limited; state your last wishes, and I'll make a deal with you."

Having learned of how the Ten Kings Command can communicate with the Ghost Realm, Lin Mu definitely offered the Nanyuan King an opportunity.
