Chapter 500: Nie Li's Return
"Hahaha, not bad. I've already condensed eight lotuses and advanced to the Heavenly Star realm. However, isn't it a little too late for you to only think of it now?" Zhu Long floated in the sky, his expression arrogant as he looked down coldly.
"Your Excellency, you're virtually invincible." Ye Han flew over unsteadily, his eyes filled with admiration.
The Heavenly Star realm. Back then, humanity's strongest Spiritual God, the Chaos Spiritual God, had only reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Fate realm. In front of Lord Zhu Long, he was like an ant.
"Hmph, the reason why I've been hiding my strength is to lure you out. Oh, it seems that the six Divine Sects have sent experts to this Tiny World. They really think highly of me, Zhu Long. In that case, all of you can die."
Zhu Long's blood-candle-like eyes scanned the group. With a wave of his hand, cracking sounds echoed as the entire Nether Realm swiftly froze under his power. Even the Black Flame Array was swiftly encased in black ice.
"Heavenly Star realm? How is that possible? How could Zhu Long break through to the Heavenly Star realm in the Tiny World?" Tian Hun exclaimed in a daze.
The Heavenly Star realm was an entire realm higher than their Heavenly Fate realm. Even if the six of them joined forces, they were no match for Zhu Long alone.
The fall of the Nether Realm was unavoidable.
The master of the Nether Realm suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go. Hurry up and leave. Open the passageway to the Draconic Ruins Realm. Take as many as you can. I'll cover the rear."
He glanced at the powerful beings from the various races fighting with all their might below, as well as the countless Nether Realm clansmen residing on the seventh level of the Nine-Layered Deathlands. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
*Boom!*
The master of the Nether Realm instantly ignited his nomological powers.
At that moment, the master of the Nether Realm ignited the Underworld nomological laws within his body. In an instant, the nomological powers of the entire Nether Realm were activated, transforming into terrifying dark clouds that converged.
"Nether, are you out of your mind? Even if you hold back Zhu Long, you'll die," Ling Yun said anxiously.
Laws were their lives. Without them, their lives would come to an end, and they would vanish into thin air.
"I was born in the Nether Realm. Apart from cultivating in the Divine Feathers Sect, I've spent my entire life in this Nether Realm. Dying here is my calling." The master of the Nether Realm's eyes showed no signs of retreat. "Leave quickly."
With that, he soared into the sky and charged at Zhu Long.
"You have a death wish."
Zhu Long sneered and remained motionless. With a flip of his hand, terrifying nomological power pressed down on the master of the Nether Realm. The nomological power was like chains, binding the master of the Nether Realm tightly, rendering him immobile.
Despite igniting his nomological powers, the master of the Nether Realm remained unable to break free from Zhu Long's power. Over the years, Zhu Long had devoured countless Divine Spark fragments from the Spiritual Gods of the Tiny World, reaching a terrifying level.
"And you… I've waited so long for you to come out. How can I let you leave?"
Zhu Long let out a sinister laugh. Countless black molten flames and mystic ice surged from the void, transforming into ice and fire that enveloped the entire Nether Realm, sealing off the path Ling Yun and the others had taken.
Immediately after, two terrifying divine beams shot out from Zhu Long's eyes.
Rumble!
The power of mystic ice, abyss, lava, and various terrifying nomological powers intertwined, transforming into a terrifying attack that struck the Black Flame Array below, causing the already fragile Black Flame Array to explode.
The entire Nine-Layered Deathlands lay exposed to Zhu Long and company.
"Ye Han, I'll leave these fellows down there to you. I want their blood to form a river. Leave no one alive," Zhu Long said to Ye Han.
"Yes, my lord." Ye Han's eyes flashed with cruelty as he waved at the numerous demon beasts surrounding him. He sneered and said, "Follow me."
*Woosh!* *Woosh!* *Woosh!*
Under his leadership, numerous demon beasts charged towards the Nine-Layered Deathlands below.
Countless shrill screams reverberated as many experts from the Nether Realm were instantly slaughtered, blood spurting like rain.
Luo Xiao, Luo Jian, the Soul Winged Family, the Soul Refinery Family, the Fiery Elf clan, the Infernal Bird clan, the Dragonchant Family, and even Long Sha and Gui Sha were caught in a bitter battle, their lives hanging by a thread.
Without the obstruction of a Heavenly Fate realm powerhouse, Ye Han led the demon beasts into an uninhabited area and unleashed a massacre. Powerhouses from the Nether Realm perished one by one.
"Lord Ye Han, my Wugui Family is willing to follow you," Wu Hun and Wu Yu cried out in fear as they hastily struck down a few other powerhouses from Blackrock City.
"Wugui Family, you…" The expressions of Luo Jian and the others from the Jade Seal Family changed drastically.
"Hahaha, a bunch of idiots. What's the point of me, Ye Han, wanting you now?" Ye Han laughed sinisterly and extended his hand, crushing the group of powerhouses from the Wugui Family. Looking at their despairing eyes, Ye Han revealed a satisfied expression.
"It's your turn now." Ye Han let out a sinister laugh and lunged at Luo Xiao, Luo Jian, and the others.
Above, Zhu Long, utilizing the nomological powers to seal the Nine-Layered Deathlands, launched a brazen attack.
"Nether, after devouring your Law of Nether, I, Zhu Long, will unquestionably rule the entire Tiny World." Zhu Long's expression turned malevolent as his hand transformed into a massive dark cloud that swept towards the master of the Nether Realm below.
"Nether!"
"My lord!"
Countless powerhouses from the Nether Realm's aristocratic families revealed looks of despair. Ling Yun and the others were also restrained by Zhu Long's power. They could only look in despair. No matter how the nomological laws on their bodies surged, they couldn't break through Zhu Long's seal. They could only watch as Zhu Long's hand grabbed at the master of the Nether Realm.
At that moment, the Nine-Layered Deathlands had been completely sealed. No one could leave.
Just as the master of the Nether Realm was about to meet his demise at Zhu Long's hands…
A terrifying flaming beam, accompanied by a howling blast, surged from afar like a tsunami and struck the dark clouds cast by Zhu Long. With a bang, the dark cloud palm cast by Zhu Long instantly dissipated under the flames.
Warm flames engulfed the area, transforming into a rain of flames that descended upon the massacring demonic beasts below, incinerating them instantly, reducing them to ashes and dissipating.
Simultaneously, the Nine-Layered Deathlands, which had been sealed by Zhu Long, shattered and disintegrated under the aura of the flames, vanishing into thin air.
"Who is it?"
This sudden turn of events caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. Zhu Long's expression darkened as he looked over. In the distant sky, two figures suddenly appeared above the Nine-Layered Deathlands.
It was so swift that no one could react in time.
"Master, are you alright?"
One of the figures approached the master of the Nether Realm and asked with concern, "Master, this is the Sacred Soul Medicine. Hurry up and consume it to stabilize your soul and nomological laws."
"Nie… Nie Li…"
Upon seeing the person before him, the master of the Nether Realm's eyes widened in disbelief.
Hadn't Nie Li gone to the Divine Feathers Sect? Why is he in Tiny World?
He couldn't help but rub his eyes and realized it was really Nie Li.
Not only him, but all the powerhouses in the Nine-Layered Deathlands were stunned.
"Brother Nie Li…"
Luo Jian and the others gaped, their minds reeling. When had Nie Li returned to the Tiny World? And he had returned at a critical moment.
"It's that fellow…" Ye Han stared at Nie Li, a hint of malice and hatred flashing in his eyes. With a whoosh, he soared into the sky and returned to Zhu Long's side. He glared at Nie Li and gritted his teeth.
Nie Li was the only person in the world he detested the most.
Beside Nie Li, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure hovered. She glared coldly at Zhu Long, who was not far away, a murderous aura emanating from her brows.
"Hahaha, I was wondering who it was. So it's Yu Yan." Zhu Long looked at Goddess Yu Yan and immediately laughed wildly, his face filled with excitement. "You've really searched high and low, but you found it without much effort. I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to find you. I didn't expect you to come back seeking death."
"Coincidentally, after devouring your and Nether's Divine Sparks, I can gather all the nomological laws and Divine Sparks of the former Spiritual Gods in Tiny World, becoming a true god in Tiny World."
Terrifying nomological powers surged from Zhu Long's body as he gazed greedily at Goddess Yu Yan. However, there was a hint of vigilance in the depths of his eyes. Yu Yan's previous attack had shattered his nomological powers. It seemed that after a few years, her strength had increased significantly, making Zhu Long involuntarily wary.
But soon, Zhu Long smirked.
The Spiritual Gods of this Tiny World are merely Heavenly Fate realm warriors in the Draconic Ruins Realm. Now that I've advanced to the Heavenly Star realm, how can Yu Yan be a match for me, no matter how powerful she has become?
He was afraid he was overthinking.
The master of the Nether Realm consumed the spirit medicine Nie Li had given him, and the damage caused by the burning law instantly healed. His eyes were filled with shock as he hurriedly looked at Nie Li. He grabbed Nie Li's arm and said anxiously, "Nie Li, why are you back? Let's go, let's leave this place quickly."
In his mind, Nie Li had only joined the Divine Feathers Sect for a few years. With his talent, breaking through to the Heavenly Fate realm was already the limit. It was impossible for him to be Zhu Long's match.
"Master, as long as I'm here, no one can harm you today," Nie Li said confidently as he looked at the master of the Nether Realm. Simultaneously, he glanced at the numerous powerhouses in the Nether Realm below. Many of them were riddled with injuries and looked disheveled.
Nie Li finally understood why the master of the Nether Realm hadn't intervened when Glory City was destroyed in his previous life. It turned out that the Nether Realm had already been in danger at that time. It was likely that the odds were against them.
In this life, if he hadn't returned in time, the Nether Realm might have been reduced to ruins.
With this in mind, a cold glint flickered in Nie Li's eyes as he looked at Zhu Long and Ye Han.
