Cosmic Trading System

Firestone, Aolai, and the Eternal Human Tribe, three of the top superpower factions, removed the treasures that suppressed the point of connection between the Netherworld and our universe, and now that connection point has already collapsed. This universe is about to descend into chaos.

At that time, because these words were left by the True Martial Saint Lord, some cultivators took them very seriously, but there were also those who believed that this was merely scaremongering by the True Martial Saint Lord to make many factions hostile toward the three top super factions of the Human Race, thinking that the True Martial Saint Lord was exaggerating the danger to intimidate these top factions of the Human Race.

But now, they no longer thought this was an exaggeration. The disturbances that had shaken nearly the entire universe, making various places feel like the end of the world, were undeniably major events.

"Damn it! Firestone, Aolai, and the Eternal Human Tribe!"

"It's all their fault that this universe has fallen into peril!"

"Countless lives have been lost; Firestone, Aolai, and the Eternal Human Tribe are unforgivable!"

Some cultivators said angrily.

Because of this disturbance, some of their own family forces had also suffered great damage, with various formations collapsing, planets and even stars falling apart, and numerous clan members and subordinates losing their lives. The visible losses were already considerable, to say nothing of the invisible losses.

Even those cultivators who had suffered no losses were afraid that this great turmoil would bring danger to them. Naturally, they also hated the Firestone and Aolai families for causing this catastrophe that had affected the entire universe.

In a mysterious place.

The nine Saint Lords who had previously acted against Lin Yun were discussing the situation here.

The absolute suppression they had experienced at the hands of the True Martial Saint Lord had horrified them and made their understanding of the Saint Lord Realm even more elusive.

They gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"The strength displayed by the True Martial Saint Lord when he acted against us is without a doubt very powerful, but in the end, he did not kill us. Whether he disdained to kill us, didn't want to, or was unable to, this is an important question..."

"It's true that the suppression by the True Martial Saint Lord was strong, but if we were to scatter and flee, it would probably be impossible for the True Martial Saint Lord to kill us all. Hence, I believe that the True Martial Saint Lord might not want to offend us by killing us..."

"If that's the case, we aren't completely without the power to fight back against the True Martial Saint Lord..."

"The fear is that if he disdained to kill us, then his strength is terrifying beyond limits... However, if that were true, it would be for the best. Since he didn't kill us before, the likelihood of him actively seeking to kill us later is also low. As long as we don't provoke him or those from the Immortal Origin Holy Land again, we'd be safe...

On the other hand, if he was unable to kill us all at that time, we would be in greater danger. We must be cautious that he might seek to pick us off one by one..."

The nine Saint Lords debated with great indecision.

This debate went on for a long time without reaching a conclusion. They did not dare to part ways for fear that the True Martial Saint Lord would seek to divide and conquer, killing them one by one.

Until the whole universe trembled.

They, too, looked in shock toward the direction of the tremors. Unlike some weaker cultivators who couldn't even sense where the change had occurred, they were at the Saint Lord Realm, having reached the pinnacle of strength in the universe. They could sense very clearly where in the universe the disturbance had taken place.

"That is the location where the Spirit Crystal was obtained!"

"Could it be that what the True Martial Saint Lord said was true? That place is the connection point between the Netherworld and this universe, and because we took away that treasure from there, this universe is about to plunge into chaos!"

They said in shock.

Their expressions changed uncertainly, and for a moment, they were unsure whether to go and investigate.

...

In the vast, boundless cosmos,

From the perspective of a planet, there is night and day in the universe; during the night, one can see the speckled stars in the sky, utterly mysterious and beautiful.

In the cosmos itself, there is no day or night; everywhere are the colorful planets and stars, more mysterious, more beautiful, and even more brilliant.

The universe has a center and an edge.

At the edge, within the brilliant starry sky, a region of darkness suddenly appears.

If there were any strong entities nearby, they would be able to sense waves of powerful nether energy emanating from that dark region.

Nether energy, also known as soul-shaking energy to many cultivators, is the energy that Ghost Practitioners cultivate.

However, such energy is very rare in this universe.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Bursts of powerful explosions echoed ceaselessly from this dark realm.

Should a powerful being approach this dark realm, they would be able to see a mighty figure within, exerting waves of formidable strength to prevent shadows of warriors from escaping.

If their knowledge was even deeper, they would recognize that these shadowy figures were the legendary Ghost Practitioners.

"It started with just ordinary Ghost Practitioners, then more advanced ones appeared. After that, Half Step Super Realm Ghost Practitioners emerged, and then, Super Realm Ghost Practitioners... This space is too vast, and it's still expanding. The strength of Ghost Practitioners is increasing continuously.

Relying on myself alone, I fear I cannot prevent all the Ghost Practitioners from leaving this place..." The mighty figure who was intervening murmured with a grave expression.

This mighty figure was none other than the True Martial Saint Lord.

"I have no choice but to call upon the powerful beings of all races in this universe to address this matter..." The True Martial Saint Lord quickly made up his mind.

"Buzz!"

He flipped his hand and took out a communication artifact, beginning to contact beings from all races across the universe.

Especially those from the races belonging to Saint Lords who had appeared at the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition. At the time, he did not obtain methods to contact those Saint Lords, but the Immortal Origin Holy Land had once been a benefactor to the races of the Ten Thousand Race.

Those grateful races were very eager to forge connections with the Immortal Origin Holy Land and had naturally left their contact methods there.

...

"Hmm? A message from the True Martial Saint Lord?"

"Lord True Martial Saint Lord! Alright, I'm on my way!"

"Rest assured, Lord True Martial Saint Lord!"

Upon receiving the message, the powerful beings of the universe's races were struck with awe and promptly agreed.

From the True Martial Saint Lord's message, they understood the gravity of the situation. If those Ghost Practitioners were to escape that expanse, it would likely cause tremendous harm to the spirits in this universe.

As Cultivators of this universe, naturally, they did not wish for such an event to occur.

Especially since this call to action was from the True Martial Saint Lord. Not long ago, the True Martial Saint Lord had displayed immense power, whether they wanted to reciprocate the Immortal Origin Holy Land's past kindness, create ties with the Immortal Origin Holy Land, forge connections with the True Martial Saint Lord, or feared the consequences of noncompliance.

In any case, a myriad of powerful beings from various races set out rapidly.

Those below the Super Realm need not go.

This was what the True Martial Saint Lord had said.

The speed of Super Warriors was incredibly fast, not to mention some of the Saint Lords above the Super Realm.

Soon, many powerful beings arrived at the location described by the True Martial Saint Lord, the edge of that dark space.

"Is this the connection point between our universe and the legendary Netherworld?"

"Such terrifyingly cold energy!"

"Ghost Practitioners! Those are Ghost Practitioners!"

Powerful beings gazed upon the dark expanse before them, deeply shocked.

"Right now, many Ghost Practitioners of the Super Warrior level have entered our universe; you are free to form teams. At least several must band together to enter this dark space and combat the enemy. Within the bodies of Ghost Practitioners are Spirit Crystals, treasures of immense value that can increase the power of the soul.

Upon slaying them, you may take these for yourselves..." At this moment, the voice of the True Martial Saint Lord reached their ears.

"What? Treasures within the Ghost Practitioners that enhance the power of the soul?"

"Quick! Let's go in!"

The afore-arrived Cultivators, who were still hesitating about entering the dark expanse, became excited upon hearing the transmission from the True Martial Saint Lord.

Treasures that could enhance the power of the soul were exceedingly rare in this universe, truly invaluable treasures.

Now, with an abundance of such treasures laid out before them, how could they possibly let this opportunity slip by?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately, many Cultivators entered the dark expanse.
