Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2649

2649 Annihilation
The guard at the entrance of the hall did not dare to stop the Territorial Lord of Corpse Mountain Ridge when the latter arrived empty-handed.

This was a Territorial Lord from one of the ten great Hell Ridges after all. Now that he had brought hundreds of Hell Kings with him, his group attracted countless gazes the moment they entered the hall!

Hundreds of Hell King experts meant that almost all of Corpse Mountain Ridge’s Hell Kings were here!

Logically speaking, even if they were here to extend congratulations to King North Ridge, there was no need for them to mobilize such a large force and cause such a huge commotion.

“You brought so many people?”

King North Ridge raised his brow slightly.

The Territorial Lord of Corpse Mountain Ridge burst into laughter. “King North Ridge, I know that you love crowds, so I brought everyone over to take a look and wish you a happy birthday!”

“Oh?”

King North Ridge asked indifferently, “Since it’s a birthday celebration, what gift did you bring for me? Let me take a look.”

“Hahahaha!”

Suddenly, hearty laughter sounded from outside the hall and a voice said, “King North Ridge, the ten great Hell Ridges have prepared a huge gift for you. You’ll definitely be satisfied!”

Accompanied by that voice, another group of experts entered the hall.

The kings of Verdant Flame Ridge, another of the ten great Hell Ridges, had arrived!

Behind the Territorial Lord of Verdant Flame Ridge, there were also hundreds of Hell King experts—it was clear they were hostile!

“I’m looking forward to it now that you guys mentioned it.”

A cold glint flashed through the depths of King North Ridge’s eyes.

He had lived for 800,000 years and had seen all sorts of storms.

Right now, Corpse Mountain Ridge and Verdant Flame Ridge were heading over menacingly—it was clear that they had a motive!

King North Ridge immediately sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness and made preparations.

Tang Hao understood and retreated from the back of the main hall, prepared to gather all the forces in North Ridge City to guard the main hall!

King North Ridge presided over the North Ridge for more than 100,000 years. With that foundation, he could mobilize a thousand Hell King experts in North Ridge City at any moment!

Hell king South Essence of the South Forest frowned when he saw that.

From the looks of it, chaos was about to break out in the North Ridge!

If King North Ridge could survive and calm down the chaos, his prestige and strength would naturally increase exponentially.

However, if he failed and was replaced…

Hell king South Essence looked at the young master of the South Forest beside him with an inquiring expression.

The young master of the South Forest shook his head gently, indicating for them to wait and see.

Before long, the remaining few Hell Ridges of the ten great Hell Ridges arrived one after another.

Variant Fiend Ridge, Soulless Ridge, Yin Wind Ridge, Dragon Bone Ridge, Blood Mist Ridge, Heaven Bane Ridge, Darkness Ridge, Frost Ridge… together with Corpse Mountain Ridge and Verdant Flame Ridge that were the first to arrive, the ten great Hell Ridges were all present!

The atmosphere in the main hall of the North Ridge Palace gradually turned from lively and joyful to solemn with a hint of killing intent!

With the ten great Hell Ridges gathered here, there were thousands of Hell King experts!

The presence of so many Hell King experts formed an unimaginably massive aura that could even go against the high and mighty King North Ridge!

All the factions of the North Ridge present could sense the change in the situation.

“By the looks of it, the birthday banquet of King North Ridge is probably going to turn into a funeral.”

“Countless living beings die daily in the North Ridge and countless territories change owners. How can King North Ridge preside over the North Ridge for 100,000 years?”

“Heh! Back then, King North Ridge suppressed and destroyed countless experts and factions before stabilizing his position. Even if the ten great Hell Ridges join forces, it won’t be easy for them to take down King North Ridge.”
Many cultivators were already discussing in secret.

“Father…”

With a worried expression, Tang Qing’er turned to look at King North Ridge who was not far away.

At that moment, King North Ridge sat in the middle of the hall with a stern expression and the killing intent he exuded intensified!

“Everyone from the ten great Hell Ridges are present. Show me your congratulatory gift now!”

King North Ridge stood up slowly and a thick malevolent blood qi spread out, as though another ancient ferocious beast had awakened within his body!

After all, King North Ridge had presided over the North Ridge for 100,000 years. His hands were stained with endless blood and he stepped on mountains of corpses and seas of blood—the might of a superior was something that even the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges could not match.

“King North Ridge, you’ve occupied that position for far too long.”

The Territorial Lord of Verdant Flame Ridge finally spoke and said coolly.

The Territorial Lord of Corpse Mountain Ridge continued, “It’s been so long that you’re already 800,000 years old and you didn’t even realize that you’re no longer at your peak!”

“Hahahaha!”

King North Ridge burst into laughter with a menacing expression. “Even though I’m 800,000 years old, you guys can’t challenge me!”

Indeed, King North Ridge was confident.

Although he was already 800,000 years old, he had once obtained a supreme supreme medicine and was able to maintain his peak blood qi without losing much combat strength.

Furthermore, he was only a step away from the perfected Grotto-heaven realm.

Even if a huge battle broke out and he was eventually defeated, he was confident that he could severely injure the ten great Hell Ridges and make the other party pay an unbearable price!

“North Ridge King.”

The Territorial Lord of Variant Fiend Ridge declared loudly, “The congratulatory gift we’ve prepared for you is to wish you a happy birthday with the blood of your entire family!”

“How dare you!”

King North Ridge was enraged and his killing intent burst forth. He glared at the Territorial Lord of Variant Fiend Ridge, ready to kill at any moment!

He had already instructed Tang Hao to gather the Hell King experts of the North Ridge. However, Tang Hao had not returned even after this period of time.

That made him feel uneasy and wary. That was the reason why he did not attack the entire time.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would have started a massacre a long time ago!

The experts of the other factions of the North Ridge were shocked when they heard the Variant Fiend Ridge Territorial Lord’s words as well.

Initially, everyone thought that the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges merely joined forces to force King North Ridge to abdicate and were even willing to fight.

But now, from the looks of it, the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges wanted to annihilate the lineage of King North Ridge!

“They are trying to annihilate his family, how ruthless!”

“You’re way too naive. Given a blood feud this deep, who knows what sort of calamities would be left behind if they’re not completely wiped out. The safest method is to exterminate his entire family.”

The Territorial Lord of Soulless Ridge said, “King North Ridge, your 800,000 year old celebration today will mark the day of your Tang family’s annihilation!”

At that moment, the ten great Hell Ridges no longer hid their intentions.

Thousands of Hell Kings were prepared to attack at any moment and start a massacre!

When the various factions of the North Ridge saw that, they retreated from the main hall one after another, afraid that they would be implicated and crushed.

A great battle that involved Hell Kings would definitely be incomparably tragic!

Once the battle broke out and Grotto-heavens collided and devoured one another, countless Hell Kings would be crushed and buried here, let alone Hell Generals!

“You want to destroy my Tang family?”

King North Ridge had a sharp expression as he said coldly, “My Tang family is about to enter into a marriage alliance with the South Forest. If you dare to challenge my status, you’ll be going against King South Forest!”

“Oh?”

The gazes of the ten Territorial Lords landed on the young master of the South Forest with a playful look in their eyes.

Instantly, the young master of the South Forest felt a tremendous pressure!

Under normal circumstances, he should stand on the side of King North Ridge since he was already engaged to Tang Qing’er.

However, at that moment, he had another question in his mind.

Were there other factions involved in the fact that the ten great Hell Ridges could join forces to overturn King North Ridge?

Or perhaps, was there some expert who appeared in the North Ridge and had absolute confidence of suppressing King North Ridge?

“Young master of the South Forest, I heard that you have a marriage alliance with the Tang family?”

Right then, another voice sounded from outside the hall.
