Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 478 The Secret Realm Revealed

"Your Majesty, Commander Liuyu just sent word that the Immortal Vein has encountered a ferocious beast tide and suffered heavy losses."

"The current Immortal Lord of the Immortal Vein was also injured."

The First Commander reported to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu quietly picked up the teacup beside him.

He swirled the teacup in his hand with interest. He was planning to teach the Immortal Vein a lesson, but he didn't expect them to encounter a beast tide. He didn't know if they were unlucky or lucky.

"Other forces?"

Qin Wu asked casually.

"The demons have also encountered several crises, but their losses are much smaller compared to those of the immortal veins."

"The Buddhist sect encountered the demon race, and the two sides have temporarily joined forces."

"The dragon race has had a relatively smooth run due to its strong combat power and has not encountered any major crises."

The First Commander reported.

"Oh, it seems only the immortal veins are unlucky! However, the other forces are having too easy a time. Have the secret guards find a way to cause them some trouble, so they don't get too comfortable."

Qin Wu explained calmly.

There's still time. Although he can't wipe out all the factions, it would be good to cause them some trouble and weaken their strength.

"By the way, what's the situation with those lower-level forces?"

Qin Wu continued to ask questions.

After all, it wasn't just these top-tier forces that came this time; other forces wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by either.

They also wanted to strengthen themselves through this trip to the secret realm. If they could obtain the secret to breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, they might never have to live under the thumb of those top powers again.

"Many forces have not yet entered the depths of chaos. Only the strongest few have entered the depths of chaos, but they are all far behind us."

“They are all very cautious now; they are not as powerful as we are.”

The First Commander continued to report.

The secret guards are now monitoring all factions and can send intelligence on all factions immediately.

Even in the upper realms, the Shadow Guards may not be able to completely conceal themselves.

However, things are different in the chaos. The Dark Guards can completely hide themselves, and even a peak Immortal Emperor cannot detect their presence.

Even if Qin Wu didn't investigate carefully, he would have difficulty discovering the hidden guards in the surrounding area.

This demonstrates just how powerful these bodyguards were at concealment.

"Oh, these forces are not afraid of death. Even the top forces cannot guarantee absolute safety, but they are not afraid."

Qin Wu sneered.

"Your Majesty, it's not that they are fearless, but rather that all sacrifices are insignificant in the face of sufficient benefits."

The First Commander sneered.

He had already seen through all of this; when faced with sufficient benefits, everything else had to take a backseat.

"Yes! Faced with sufficient benefits, all sacrifices are insignificant."

Qin Wu got up and walked outside.

The First Commander quickly followed in Qin Wu's footsteps.

The two arrived at the bow of the airship.

Qin Wu quietly gazed at the endless chaos, at the countless spatial rifts that kept opening and closing.

"This world! Why are so many people courting death!"

Qin Wu said calmly.

"Your Majesty, in this dog-eat-dog world, only by constantly fighting and grabbing can one climb to the top."

"If they do not fight and seize, they are very likely to be crushed to dust by the enemy."

The First Commander also spoke indifferently.

Along their journey, haven't they been fighting, grabbing, and seizing?

They are fighting against heaven and earth, vying with heaven and earth, and snatching from heaven and earth.

"Yes! If we don't fight, grab, or seize, we will eventually be crushed to dust by the enemy."

"Aren't we the same? We find endless joy in struggling with the heavens, with the earth, and with people."

"To live is to fight, to seize, to struggle; who can escape the control of fate?"

Qin Wu sighed.

Especially in this dog-eat-dog world.

"Your Majesty, should we take action against these forces?"

The First Commander inquired cautiously.

"No need. This secret realm is fraught with danger, and we need people to pave the way for us. They are the most suitable candidates."

Qin Wu shook his head slightly.

"Yes, I understand."

After understanding Qin Wu's meaning, the First Commander silently withdrew.

.............................

Thousands of years pass quickly, in the blink of an eye.

They were getting closer and closer to the secret realm, and also deeper and deeper into the chaos.

And the dangers we encounter are becoming more and more numerous and stronger.

Even many Immortal Emperor realm experts suffered serious injuries and are currently doing their best to heal.

This wasn't just the case for Qin Wu and his group; the other factions were in the same boat.

No force was spared, and the top-tier forces suffered particularly heavy losses.

This shows how terrifying the depths of chaos are.

In just tens of thousands of years, many powerful Immortal Emperors have perished, causing strange phenomena of universal grief to frequently occur in the Upper Domain.

This has caused widespread fear among the major powers in the upper domains. For many years, there has not been such a frequent occurrence of Immortal Emperors falling.

The last time was several eons ago.

However, this is something that powerful forces are happy to see happen.

The fewer powerful entities there are, the lower the threat to other factions.

Later on, even the most powerful forces began to see the fall of Immortal Emperor level experts.

This shows just how terrifying this crisis is, and therefore, the secret realm can no longer be kept hidden.

The exposure of the secret realm has attracted the attention of more and more forces, who have begun preparations to get a share of the spoils.

This news quickly reached the ears of those top-tier and first-class forces.

However, they didn't care, since they had deliberately leaked it in the first place.

They now understand that if they rely solely on themselves, reaching the secret realm and obtaining its treasures will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Especially those first-rate forces, they are simply no match for the top forces.

Since that's the case, they should involve more forces in this battle for the secret realm so that they can have a chance to compete with the top forces.

Qin Wu looked at the intelligence report in his hand and couldn't help but sneer.

"These top-tier powers are easy to scheme against, but how can ants change anything?"

"What's the situation with those second- and third-rate forces now? Have they already sent people into the Chaos?"

Qin Wu sneered.

In his view, those beings who were only at the early or mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm could not change anything.

If you're unlucky, you won't even be able to reach the secret realm; it's practically suicide.

"Your Majesty, should we intervene in this matter?"

The First Commander inquired.

"There's no need. If they want to die, let them come. If someone is lucky enough to reach the secret realm, they can help us test the waters. This secret realm is probably not simple, and we can't guarantee absolute safety."

"Having them scout ahead might be a good thing. If possible, let the secret guards help them in secret."

Qin Wu said dismissively.

This also avoids putting one's own people at risk.

"Yes, I understand."

The First Commander immediately accepted the order and withdrew.
