Chapter 667: The Void King’s plight (I)
The Void King was on the highest level of a God Tower, utilizing the full power of the structure to flood his body with highly dense energy. At this moment, the strongest of the Dark Kings of The Organization was fully immersed in recovering, as the damage he suffered during the last skirmish was not minor.
Actually, the fight with the Collapsing Lightning Duke and then with the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar only left superficial wounds on his body from which he could completely heal in hours.
The actual reason for his deterioration was the backlash he received upon using Stellar Dive since not only was he forced to overexert his Ego Wave to push his body and soul to a level capable of that power, but his meridians were barely able to contain the massive burst of energy required by the technique.
Suddenly, the Void King's eyes opened, and he saw a figure covered in shadow appear.
"How did it go?"
The Shadow King saw the solemn expression in the Void King, and while the man was able to maintain a cool head, he knew this one long enough to see when he was worried.
"I thoroughly researched the area where Angar's Shadow Domain took place. The life in the area was totally drained, and that was not all. The power of death had completely impregnated the surroundings. I also detected traces of elemental essence that were left, most likely after the destruction of countless treasures."
A deep frown appeared on the Void King's face as he heard those words. He had kept an eye on the reports sent by the silent spies placed by the Soul King at the start, and he had received very bad news.
The Void King expected that after crippling the Collapsing Lightning Duke, the Collapsing Lightning Alliance would show signs of crumbling and instability, but none of that happened. On the contrary, the army's morale, from regular soldiers to great generals, seemed to have significantly risen.
Then he learned that Bloodless #1, one of the great generals with a Middle Divine Ascension Cultivation, had suddenly recovered his arm, and if that was not enough, his aura became much more powerful.
It was easy to trace the origin of all those changes to the young man whom the Void King wanted nothing more than to rip to pieces, but it was the news he received two days ago that truly shocked him.
The Scarlet King, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and the Patriarch of the Aegon Clan had left the Golden Core City. They reached a forest not far from there before hiding themselves in a Shadow Domain over 500 kilometers wide.
No one knew what they were doing, but the Shadow Domain vanished two weeks later, and the trio returned to the Golden Core City accompanied by six warriors in red armor.
