Chapter 574 Spirit Sentinel of Fire

"Who do you take me for, Jade Soul King?" Balmodan coolly uttered before continuing, "I may not have lived as long as you or the other Great Devils of Gehenna, but I am still a Great Devil of Gehenna, lording over a vast region of land."

"Even an ignorant buffoon living under a rock must have heard the history of Chaos at least once, let alone I. Of course, I would know Gehenna wouldn't be the only realm connected to the new chaosverse! However, the start of every destruction cycle is always incredibly slow. It could take several hundred thousand years or even millions of years before a second world enters Chaos!"

"Furthermore, there hasn't been any news of the new chaosverse's destruction cycle spreading in our Eternal Darkheaven Sector, not to mention it was estimated that the chaosverse's destruction cycle wouldn't begin for another six billion years!"

"That's why we had to keep Pangea secret. Who knows how many denizens of Chaos would swarm to our realm for a chance to explore the new chaosverse if the news spread?" Balmodan stated.

Although he didn't want to continue such a topic with the Jade Soul King, he figured he had at least successfully degraded Pangea's value and diverted the Jade Soul King's attention to another matter – or so he thought.

Unfortunately, Jade Soul King had a sharp mind.

"So you also know the new chaosverse's destruction cycle started six billion years earlier than its predicted time, Immortal Lycan King," Jade Soul King acknowledged Balmodan's information before gravely mentioning, "Then you should also know that in the 128 chaos cycles of Chaos's existence, this has never happened before!"

"Something is seriously wrong with this new chaosverse, Immortal Lycan King. Tell me what you have learned about the new chaosverse, and I will also share Hades's experience and discovery with you," Jade Soul King offered.

"You definitely know something. Otherwise, given its overwhelming strength, why hasn't Gehenna conquered Pangea in the three hundred years since its discovery? Perhaps Pangea has something that made even the seven Great Devils of Gehenna afraid or wary?"

When Balmodan heard Jade Soul King mention that, his expression turned grave and gloomy. It became clear to him that Jade Soul King noticed the flaw in his statement.

"You must understand that Hades is also connected to the new chaosverse. Whatever hidden dangers it has, Gehenna won't be facing it alone. That's why our two realms should share what we know and overcome it together. Otherwise, it could destroy us," Jade Soul King stressed.

"Then, you tell me what you have experienced and discovered in the new chaosverse first, Jade Soul King," Balmodan firmly demanded before adding, "You owe that much for killing my subordinate. I won't ask for other compensation if you tell me."

The atmosphere suddenly intensified when Jade Soul King glared at Balmodan in silence. A battle between the two seemed inevitable.

However, Jade Soul King suddenly sighed and withdrew his attack-type domain.

"While exploring the dead star realm in the new chaosverse, our forces encountered a Spirit Sentinel of Fire and suffered devastating losses. Seven hundred Quasi-Soul Kings and three billion undead soldiers below Rank 5 – that was the loss we incurred due to the spirit sentinel of fire," Jade Soul King revealed.

When Balmodan learned of Hades's losses, his pupils shrank into slits from shock and alarm.

Given Hades was home to undead beings that didn't require the normal sustenance of life to continue their existences, he didn't find it surprising if Hades could send such a large force to explore the new chaosverse's sea of stars.

However, the death of seven hundred Quasi-Soul Kings truly shocked him.

That was equivalent to seven hundred semi-divine-rank devils. Even for Gehenna, seven hundred semi-divine-rank devils weren't a small number.

Jade Soul King wasn't exaggerating Hades's losses when he said it suffered devastating losses.

"Hades sure is unlucky to run into an existence that is the bane of all undead beings," Balmodan commented with a frown before expressing his doubt, "But how in the world could Hades suffer such a devastating loss in the presence of you, Soul Kings?"

"The Spirit Sentinel of Fire could only be defeated, not killed. Every time a Soul King destroyed the Spirit Sentinel of Fire, it would reform itself and slaughter our undead soldiers. That's how Hades suffered such losses," Jade Soul King answered.

"I, myself, have destroyed the Spirit Sentinel of Fire over a thousand times while buying time for our forces to retreat back to Hades. So, trust me when I say this, but I don't think this was a normal Spirit Sentinel of Fire – it was created to eliminate all living beings."

"There wasn't a single sign of life discovered in the dead star realm during our exploration. I don't know what kind of existence created the Spirit Sentinel of Fire, but I'm certain it is anti-life. That's why Hades has already sent a representative to report the matter to the Domain Lord." Jade Soul King added.

"Domain Lord.." Balmodan uttered with a frown.

A Domain Lord was the ruler of a group of star realms. Such an existence was only a Rank 7 or Rank 8 Divine Being, depending on the strength of the collective star realms.

In the vast and boundless Chaos, such a level of existence was nothing.

That being said, a Domain Lord was still the highest level of existence that Rank 6 Divine Beings they could contact due to their limited power of travel and influence.

A Rank 9 Divine Being would not even look at them, let alone talk to them – and that was if they could even meet such a high-level divine being.

"I believe I've said enough, Immortal Lycan King. It's time for you to share what you know, as we have agreed upon," Jade Soul King urged before asking, "Why hasn't Gehenna conquered Pangea?"

"I doubt a Spirit Sentinel is guarding it if there's life on Pangea," Jade Soul King added as the two orbs of green flames in his eye sockets flickered.

"Pangea is.." Balmodan thought carefully about his choice of words before revealing, "Guarded by a Rank 8 existence."historical
