Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 100

In Qin Province.

At the main hall of the Heaven Wrath Temple,

a trembling figure knelt before the throne.

“Eighth Fury, let’s just flee. We truly cannot withstand this onslaught anymore.”

The Eighth Fury’s expression darkened considerably.

“What’s there to fear from some insignificant Yama Palace? They’re merely a disorganized mob. Ignite your fighting spirit! We are the Heaven Wrath Temple, capable of enraging even the heavens and seizing opportunities from the Heavenly Dao itself. What should we be afraid of? Charge forth!”

Before the Eighth Fury could finish speaking,

the temple doors shattered with a deafening crash.

A swirling black smoke surged into the hall,

accompanied by eerie laughter echoing through the air:

“Heh heh heh…”

“Giggle giggle…”

Immediately following,

there arose the clanking sounds of chains.

“Chink chink chink…”

Except for the Eighth Fury,

everyone else in the hall found their bodies pierced by chains.

Strangely, they remained unharmed initially.

As the chains tightened,

the divine souls of those Golden Core Cultivators were instantly extracted.

“Boom…”

A burst of black smoke swiftly engulfed their souls.

“Ahh…”

Their agonized screams echoed through the hall.

Within moments,

those divine souls vanished without a trace.

Witnessing this scene, even Eighth Fury’s scalp tingled with fear, absurdly exclaiming, “Ghosts!”

Yet despite his reaction, he was still a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

“A bunch of deceitful imps, I’ll teach you all to…” Before he could finish,

the shadow guard pierced through Eighth Fury effortlessly and promptly extracted his Nascent Soul.

Eighth Fury’s terrified gaze met the shadow guard’s eyes.

“You…” He barely managed to utter before being cut off.

The shadow guard swiftly devoured his Nascent Soul.

“Chuckle, who doesn’t have a Nascent Soul these days?!” However, the shadow guard did not completely consume Eighth Fury’s Nascent Soul. Instead, he retained a small fragment and collected a drop of essence blood from Eighth Fury’s body. Both were then sealed within a black waist token.

A figure emerged from the black smoke, looking puzzled at the shadow guard.

“Sir, what are you doing?”

The shadow guard responded enigmatically, “This Eighth Fury is a core member of the Heaven Wrath Temple. Naturally, his soul tablet exists within their headquarters. My actions ensure that his soul tablet will not shatter, revealing our presence.”

“This way, the Heaven Wrath Temple’s main base will only suspect some issues here but won’t fathom that their entire presence in Qin Province has been annihilated.”

“Moreover, there’s another advantage: even if they sense something amiss, they won’t launch a large-scale investigation into Qin Province. Most likely, they’ll send one or two leaders to probe the situation. And when they come, we eliminate them one by one.”

The eyes of those hidden in the shadows began to gleam, albeit with a chilling red hue.

Instantaneously, fifty blood-red eyes illuminated the entire Heaven Wrath Temple, causing anyone who saw them to feel their scalp tingle with unease.

At this moment, the shadow guard continued:

“Firstly, gather all available information on Heaven Wrath Temple, memorize as much as possible. Additionally, provide resources to both Yamas; perhaps their satisfaction will lead to further rewards. You know well the effects of blood pills and Divine Soul Pills – no need for me to elaborate!”

The individuals hidden in the darkness displayed eerie grins, revealing pale teeth against their glowing red eyes, creating an unsettling sight.

At the edge of the ancient secret realm, a powerful being had created a temporary small world.

Only the most elite and supremely capable individuals could reside within this realm. The minimum cultivation level here was Nascent Soul Great Perfection, while the highest remained unknown; however, it was confirmed to include Void Refining Cultivators.

Within this icy landscape of the small world, a woman clad in a long white dress, her features cold and striking, appeared visibly shaken with a pallid complexion.

For several days, she had been increasingly uneasy, as no news from the Heaven Wrath Temple reached her. Despite extending her Divine Consciousness to locate its members, they seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Puzzled, she couldn’t fathom any issues arising within the Heaven Wrath Temple. Yet their sudden disappearance left her baffled.

“Could there be some undisclosed plan at play that I’m not privy to?” She tried to rationalize the situation.

However, after half a month passed, she began sensing something amiss.

The Main Hall started inquiring about her recent activities, questioning why the hunting operation had stalled and expressing urgency due to the imminent opening of the secret realm. They demanded to know what she was waiting for if action wasn’t taken immediately.

It dawned on her then – there must indeed be a problem with the Heaven Wrath Temple.

She then dispatched more investigators, but each time, they vanished like stones sinking into the ocean.

Growing increasingly restless, she finally decided to personally investigate.

However, upon arrival…

The Heaven Wrath Temple was gone.

Even the grand hall had disappeared from Qin Province.

Refusing to believe it, she spent several days verifying the situation.

Ultimately, the truth became clear:

The Heaven Wrath Temple had truly vanished without a trace.

With urgency, she reported this development.

Now, holding a communication token, she awaited a response from the Main Hall.

After a prolonged silence, the reply came: “Where is my temple?”

Stunned, the woman hesitated for a moment before forming her words with spiritual power once again.

“It may have been destroyed by someone!”

“This cannot be!”

Another eerie silence enveloped the communication token.

Finally, the Main Hall issued a new command.

“Investigate who destroyed our Heaven Wrath Temple. Postpone opening the secret realm temporarily. Wait until I assign someone to complete the hunting plan sufficiently before proceeding.”

Taking a deep breath, the woman responded, “Understood!”

She ended the transmission, but suddenly recalled something unsettling.

“Considering the terrifying individual capable of silently annihilating the Heaven Wrath Temple, am I really going to investigate?” Her scalp tingled with unease.

As merely a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, even surpassing the Eighth Fury of Qin Province’s Heaven Wrath Temple – another Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator – couldn’t prevent their silent demise. What chance did she stand investigating such a catastrophe?

The woman felt troubled and even a sense of despair creeping in.

At the Qinglian Sect’s encampment.

Liu Shunyi stared with shock at the document in his hands.

It clearly outlined the Heaven Wrath Temple’s plans, including their schemes following the opening of the ancient secret realm.

The details were remarkably comprehensive.

As Liu Shunyi read on, his expression grew increasingly grim.

“The Heaven Wrath Temple has actually mastered the method to open the secret realms! The recent disturbances within this one were intentionally caused by them, all for the purpose of hunting down specific individuals!”

His pupils contracted as he saw the names targeted by the Heaven Wrath Temple.

“Their method of using lightning strikes feels eerily familiar, yet somehow different.”

Meanwhile, Zhao Gou was examining another piece of intelligence.

With each line read, his face darkened further.

“It’s not just that; it seems the Heaven Wrath Temple is spread across the world, operating with extreme secrecy. Moreover, there’s evidence suggesting they infiltrate every major and minor secret realm opening, aiming to seize crucial resources from each.”

Liu Shunyi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
