Apocalypse: Infinite Evolution Starts from Attribute Allocation

Nine Calamity Star, Twilight Realm.

"I heard you’re quite familiar with Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De," Wang Ye’s sudden visit made the Twilight Emperor somewhat anxious.

Having witnessed the strength of Jin Shang Emperor and his decisive actions, he naturally harbored some apprehension.

"Well… I suppose so," the Twilight Emperor was unclear about Jin Shang Emperor’s intentions.

"So, are you familiar or not?" Wang Ye asked directly.

The Twilight Emperor hesitated for a moment, then spoke truthfully, "We have cultivated and fought together, we are life-and-death friends."

Wang Ye nodded, "Can you invite him to Nine Calamity Star?"

"This—" The Twilight Emperor showed a puzzled expression.

"You don’t need to know that much," Wang Ye said. "Just tell me if it’s possible or not."

The Twilight Emperor hesitated, "It’s somewhat difficult."

Wang Ye nodded, "Then I’ll ask the Dark Mist Emperor for help. I will take over your Twilight Realm soon and hand it to the Dark Mist Emperor."

The Twilight Emperor’s eyes widened in shock, "How could that be! Isn’t it, the relationship between the Dark Mist Emperor and Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De is just average."

Wang Ye said, "It doesn’t matter, as long as he can be called over."

The Twilight Emperor shook his head, "He won’t be able to invite him."

Wang Ye said, "With great reward comes the motivated, whoever gets Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De for me, I will hand over the Twilight Realm for them to manage."

The Twilight Emperor: "..."

Why me?!

This is his territory!

Despite the roaring fury in his heart, the Twilight Emperor didn’t dare to show any discontent. Instead, he smiled and said, "Although it’s a bit difficult, I think, I should still be able to call Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De over."

"How long," Wang Ye glanced at him.

The Twilight Emperor said, "It depends on Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De’s schedule. If he’s in seclusion or occupied with other matters, I can’t do anything about it."

"Within five years, I want to meet Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De." Wang Ye pulled out a high-grade chaos saint treasure, the surging energy grid instantly causing the Twilight Emperor’s pupils to constrict sharply.

"If you do it, this will be your reward."

"If you don’t, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Having said that, Wang Ye then departed.

Leaving the Twilight Emperor, staring at the high-grade chaos saint treasure floating in mid-air, his expression complex.

Although he and Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De are close friends.

But, Jin Shang Emperor is his superior!

The superior’s orders must be obeyed!

Loyalty to duty is fundamental!

This has nothing to do with the treasure.

...

Wang Ye continued to Cultivate with Emperor Ya.

His comprehended abilities were still quite remarkable.

After another three years of continuous cultivation, his understanding of Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi had deepened significantly.

However, it seemed that Emperor Ya had once again fallen into a cycle of seclusion and self-doubt.

"Such is the genius dedicated to the path of cultivation," Wang Ye commented.

Emperor Ya set very high standards for himself.

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi was already quite impressive, and the Ultimate Secret Technique was exceptionally powerful.

But Emperor Ya still sought further perfection, a spirit truly worthy of emulation!

Another year swiftly passed.

"I’ve understood!" Suddenly, Emperor Ya’s thoughts clarified, awakening with excitement in his eyes, "I knew why Jin Shang Emperor hasn’t reached the beginner level yet; the key lies here!"

"This cultivation step can be further streamlined, along with—"

Hmm?

Emperor Ya suddenly paused.

Looking at the Gang Energy that appeared faintly swirling around Jin Shang Emperor’s body, he showed a look of surprise.

There it is!

Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi, beginner Gang Energy!

Jin Shang Emperor finally comprehended!

Wait, why did I say finally?

Emperor Ya shook his head, his eyes flashing, "With Jin Shang Emperor’s comprehended abilities, combined with my new cultivation method, I’m sure he’ll soon upgrade to the Practiced Level!"

"?"

Emperor Ya was stunned.

Watching the Gang Energy around Jin Shang Emperor’s body gathering and strengthening, then becoming more refined.

Control, as easy as moving his hand!

Isn’t this the Practiced Realm?

"Ha, haha, no wonder he’s Jin Shang Emperor, rising through two stages in one leap, this comprehended ability truly opens my eyes—" Emperor Ya’s mouth twitched slightly.

Then watching the Gang Energy grow thicker and the energy grid becoming stronger!

Soon it integrated seamlessly with the physical body, and then started merging with the Crimson Soul-Destroying Thunder.

Eventually, the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi merged perfectly with Jin Shang Emperor, indistinguishable from each other!

Emperor Ya was dumbfounded.

The display by Jin Shang Emperor was flawless!

It was as if the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi was a secret technique he had created!

"Minor mastery, mastery, perfection?" Emperor Ya stared at Jin Shang Emperor in astonishment.

After the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi merged with himself, it further drew on the path of nine calamities to nourish and integrate.

The Gang Energy intertwined with the Crimson Soul-Destroying Thunder, although not completely compatible, presented an endless perfection, indescribably harmonious.

At this moment, the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Gang Qi, exhibited and strengthened by Jin Shang Emperor, was not inferior to his at all!

Even though it was incongruous with the Crimson Soul-Destroying Thunder.

Even without the corresponding Saint Path Martial Techniques!

Yet, it had merged into perfect flawlessness!

This is the Perfect Realm!

A stage higher than his current realm!

"How powerful..." murmured Emperor Ya, his heart profoundly shaken.

The scene before him was so overwhelming that it made his head spin and his beliefs nearly crumbled.

Is this the most outstanding genius in the history of the Dark Race?

He was completely out of his league.

Emperor Ya fell into introspection once again.

In the Twilight Realm, Wang Ye was waiting.

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De was a crucial move in the game. Explore more adventures at empire

For he was the fourth greatest emperor beneath the three Peak Netherworld Emperors.

Just like the Nine Calamity Star, the distribution of power within the Dark Race was highly regional.

The Hades Star’s east, south, west, and north-four great realms had made a pact before the end of our Chimeng family that none may overstep.

Therefore, even after the original Northern Hades Emperor perished in the Primitive Cosmic Sea, when they chose the new Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De, despite being weaker than the three peak emperors, he still securely held his position and controlled the Northern Hades Realm.

Because Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De was, at that moment, the strongest in the Cosmic Northern Hades Realm.

However, he and the Eastern Hades Emperor were mortal enemies, and their unresolved grievances traced back to the Innate Chaos Realm.

Their longstanding resentment and his slightly weaker strength excluded Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De from major decisions within the Hades Star.

Even though the other two emperors had no objections to him.

But compared to the Eastern Hades Emperor, his importance to the Dark Race was significantly lesser.

"Nine Calamity Star is my army for hunting within the Dark Race," Wang Ye’s eyes twinkled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De, however, is the key to my overthrowing control of the Hades Star."

"He is a very important chess piece."

Princess Ling Qi said, "You want to control the Hades Star through Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De."

"It won’t be easy," said Wang Ye. "But at least the Northern Hades Realm will belong to me, and nobody will expect that I had laid plans so early around a powerless Northern Hades Emperor."

Princess Ling Qi said, "Set the stage early, then wait for the Eastern Hades Emperor to fall."

"Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De will step in."

"Using him as the foundation, influence the decisions of the Hades Star."

Wang Ye didn’t provide more explanation.

His gaze flickered, looking toward a nearby place, and entered the scene with the Dark Race’s strongest expert.

"The prey has arrived, prepare to close the net," Wang Ye spoke.

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A frenzied barrage, supremely dominant!

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De was dumbfounded.

The Twilight Emperor who had invited him was also taken aback.

A reflex reaction was to help Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De.

But upon hearing Jin Shang Emperor’s voice in his ear, the Twilight Emperor’s legs trembled, and he dared not move.

He watched wide-eyed as both the strongest experts of the Spirit Race and the Golden-Winged Divine Race formed a seamless net, trapping Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De tight with no escape.

Suddenly, he noticed that a Spiritual Spell Grand Array had been set up around him without his knowledge!

If it weren’t for seeing Jin Shang Emperor in the sky looking like the commander, he would have doubted if he was in the wrong place.

That’s not right!

It’s getting even stranger!

Why would the Spirit Race be here, and why would they obey Jin Shang Emperor?

And the two from the Golden-Winged Divine Race—why were they here?

And their strength was so outrageous!

Thump!

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De landed heavily, severely injured.

Already weaker than the three peak emperors, and now blindsided completely, his current state was pitiful.

"Jin Shang Emperor!" The severely injured Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De couldn’t move as he looked up at Wang Ye who was overlooking him, clearly understanding what had happened.

It was obvious—it was a trap.

A trap to kill him!

Jin Shang Emperor used the Twilight Emperor to ambush him!

"Blame the Eastern Hades Emperor if you must," Wang Ye slowly spoke. "He wants to remove you but couldn’t do so overtly, so he had me do it."

A vicious light flashed in Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De’s eyes: "That despicable and shameless coward!"

"I will never let him go!"

"In the endless reincarnation cycle, I am determined to avenge this deep hatred!"

Wang Ye spoke calmly, "To kill him, you don’t necessarily need reincarnation."

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De stared intently at Wang Ye, gritting his teeth, "What do you mean?"

Wang Ye said, "As long as you agree to one condition, I can help you kill him, and also save your life."

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De was astonished: "Are you serious?"

Wang Ye said, "You can ask the Twilight Emperor. I never lie."

Twilight Emperor: "..."

Northern Hades Emperor Qiao De gazed at Wang Ye as if trying to see right through him, gritting his teeth, "What’s the condition?"

"Submit to me."
