The Eastern Undead Army advanced into the broader lands of the Egyptian Underworld. Without Khufu's command, the Egyptian Undead individually transformed into Eastern Undead.
Feeling his subjects rapidly dwindling while the Eastern Undead Army grew stronger, Khufu was burning with anxiety and urgently summoned the many Pharaohs under his rule.
Jiang Yuan advanced in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, a voice from a distant place reached his ears.
"Find out all of Jiang Yuan's connections in China as quickly as possible, and locate his whereabouts. If Jiang Yuan doesn't appear, then kill everyone related to him!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuan frowned.
Sensing the killing intent in the voice, he immediately saw through space who was speaking.
It was the Hall Mother Pamishi.
He knew she wouldn't be honest; Jiang Yuan had already sensed something was off when she made Xinxia the sole candidate.
Now it seemed she finally couldn't hold back.
But what of it?
Jiang Yuan allocated some of his attention to monitor all actions of the Pathenon Temple, then disregarded it.
After dealing with Khufu, he still needed to conquer the minor underworlds of other countries. There were quite a few minor underworlds in the world, and their combined strength would be considerable.
…
"Father, I heard you fled in disarray under the power of the Eastern Undead Emperor. Is that true?"
Inside the Pyramid, many Egyptian Pharaohs were gathered. Hephren held his scepter and smiled as he looked at Khufu at the very top.
"My child, as Emperors ruling our own empires, how could I flee in disarray before him?" Khufu's eyes were like torches, and he spoke in a calm, unhurried tone.
"Perhaps I misheard. Please forgive my presumption and disrespect, my Father." Hephren let out a meaningful sneer.
Khufu maintained the demeanor befitting an Emperor.
Although Hephren was his son, he had long harbored rebellious intentions, only maintaining a facade of submission.
"My subjects, the Eastern Undead Empire and my Underworld have always been at peace. Now that they have actively invaded, we must punish them. I promise to bestow the Eastern Underworld upon you, and I will take nothing." Khufu slowly said.
Take nothing?
The Pharaohs knew this was nonsense; Khufu's nature made it impossible for him to take nothing.
He was merely seeking greater benefits.
In the vast Pharaoh's hall, no one responded for a moment.
They were all Pharaohs. Why should they always listen to Khufu?
He merely had the advantage of time, which allowed him to monopolize the Death aura for so long and ascend to become the sole Undead Emperor of Egypt.
The Pharaohs were unconvinced; they believed that if they had been as ancient as Khufu, they would certainly have become Emperors.
Just like Hephren, who had already reached the peak of the Sub-Emperor level, his next step was to become an Emperor equal to Khufu.
"…"
The atmosphere grew colder.
The Egyptian Underworld had never been invaded.
Khufu had also never imagined that the Pharaohs under his rule would be so disloyal to him.
"I really should have devoured your origins. There should only be one Underworld King, and there can only be one Pharaoh." Khufu said coldly.
The Pharaohs were startled and immediately expressed their loyalty, willing to move their Pyramid palaces to the battlefield to ensure the Eastern Undead Empire would never return!
Among them, Hephren was the most enthusiastic.
No matter what greater benefits Khufu was seeking, Hephren only wanted to distance himself from the Egyptian Underworld and establish his own domain in another land of the dead. Only then could he become an Emperor.
Before the battle had even officially begun, the Egyptian Pharaohs had already started planning how to carve up the Eastern Underworld.
Now, to the front lines of the battlefield.
The Undead Army commanded by Jiang Yuan had already advanced into the heart of the Underworld. Scattered Pyramids were clearly visible, gleaming with a mysterious luster under the glow of the Underworld.
The source of the Egyptian Undead Army was within the Pyramids; it seemed to be another dimension, with countless undead crawling out from within.
The Eight Directional Undead Monarchs and Totem Beasts trampled the Egyptian Undead at will. Whenever a higher-level undead appeared, they were easily beaten half to Death and then transformed into Eastern Undead by the Death aura spread by Jiang Yuan.
The Mountain Peak Corpse, with its Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge-like massive body, slowly moved across the battlefield. No Egyptian Undead could stop its steps.
Until a red Underworld glow burst forth, seemingly piercing the barrier between the Underworld and reality, and a Sphinx was guided in by the Underworld glow.
The Sphinx's figure descended from the sky!!!
"Huan~~~!!!"
The moment the Sphinx appeared, it charged directly at the Mountain Peak Corpse and violently crashed into it!
At this moment, different colored Underworld glows lit up on each Pyramid, and the figures of Pharaohs appeared one after another.
The Egyptian Undead seemed to be encouraged, their morale surged, and they launched an attack, the Undead Army clashing again!
The Sphinx and the Mountain Peak Corpse also began to fight, their battlefield spanning several kilometers, with no undead able to enter.
At the peak of the tallest and most magnificent Pyramid, Khufu said to Hephren: "Deal with that Black Dragon in the sky. Don't disappoint me, my child."
Following Khufu's gaze, Hephren saw the Black Dragon Emperor thousands of meters in the sky, and Jiang Yuan on its head.
Their eyes met, and Hephren's heart immediately trembled.
Is this the Eastern Undead Emperor?
Then his gaze returned to the Black Dragon Emperor's body. Even from thousands of meters away, he could feel its immense aura and the explosive power contained beneath its black scales.
"That is a true dragon, not easy to deal with," Hephren said.
The reason true dragons are noble and synonymous with power is that even if they don't cultivate at all, they will at least be at the invincible Monarch-level after reaching adulthood.
If they cultivate, breaking through to the Sub-Emperor level is not difficult.
Although becoming a true Emperor is quite difficult, it is much, much simpler compared to other beings.
As long as it's not a true dragon that just lies around, none of them are below the Sub-Emperor level!
"I only need you to hold back that true dragon," Khufu said indifferently.
Hephren gripped his scepter: "The Eastern Underworld will be ruled by me."
"Good, I grant it," Khufu immediately agreed.
Only then did Hephren begin to ride the Golden Ancient Boat with Khufu to attack Jiang Yuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan, high in the sky, said to Austin below him: "Do you see that Sub-Emperor undead?"
"I will tear it to shreds!"
Austin flapped his wings, his dragon might unleashed freely.
Jiang Yuan transformed into black light and collided with Khufu's red light.
In an instant, the sky was covered in cracks.
Space itself shattered, unable to withstand the battle between Emperors!
The Black Dragon Emperor roared, letting out a dragon's cry. Intense light furiously brewed in its chest. It seemed to have become another sun in the sky!
"Boom!!!!!"
The dragon flame incinerated the Death aura, burning through space, reaching Hephren in less than a second!!
