Nie Li glanced at Xiao Yu and smiled faintly. He'd only been teasing Xiao Yu. The whole reason he'd come to the Nether Domain was to have himself or some of his companions become disciples of the Domain Lord. If any of them could secure that position, they could at least guarantee the
Once the City of Radiance was under the Domain Lord's protection, Nie Li could cultivate in peace. He could even venture into the Dragon Ruins Realm without worry.
In truth, within the Dragon Ruins Realm, the Feathered God Sect wasn't the most powerful existence.
If he met those old acquaintances from his past life, he wondered how things would turn out. Were they still around?
The Feathered God Sect should still be intact at this point in time. But later, due to internal conflicts, it would splinter into several major factions. Some factions would be swallowed by other sects, and the remaining ones would decline into obscurity, never to recover. But that was a matter of a hundred years from now.
Just then, the stone walls on either side of Nie Li and Xiao Yu suddenly morphed into massive stone hands, reaching out to grab them.
"Not good!" Xiao Yu's face drained of color. His hands rapidly formed seals, and two streaks of white light materialized around him.
Boom!
The stone hands slammed into the white light and could advance no further. But the hands kept squeezing, trying to shatter Xiao Yu's light shield. Xiao Yu was gradually losing ground. "I can't hold on much longer! Let's move — now!"
Xiao Yu surged forward. Nie Li quickly followed close behind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From deep within the ancient tomb, Nie Li heard the clamor of fierce combat — those sub-divine powerhouses must have engaged something within the tomb!
Nie Li and Xiao Yu continuously fended off the terrifying stone hands as they sprinted onward.
A chilling voice echoed from the depths of the tomb.
"Heh heh heh. I didn't expect you all to actually make it inside. Did you think this tomb held my treasure? This tomb is my true body. Consume you all, and I can slowly restore my divine authority.
Hearing this voice from within the tomb, Nie Li scoffed. This voice had to belong to the
The truly exalted power was the Heavenly Dao. Laws were merely a more refined form of Soul Power! And beings like the Death God were nothing more than law spirits of a small world.
Countless stone hands clawed toward Nie Li and Xiao Yu, determined to tear them both to shreds.
"So this old ghost of a Death God isn't dead yet!" Xiao Yu furrowed his brows and let out a cold snort.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xiao Yu's palm strikes surged in rapid succession, shattering hand after hand. But just as he was dealing with one volley, a single stone hand broke through with a thunderous crash. Its fist slammed into Xiao Yu's body, sending him stumbling back dozens of steps, his face paling.
The stone hand carried the power of some deathly law that was invading his body. He had greatly underestimated its strength.
So this ancient tomb was actually the Death God's true body. In that case, there was no reason to hold back.
Nie Li quickly fused with the Tiger Tooth Panda Demon Spirit, opening his mouth to condense one black and one white orb of light. He spat them out, and the two orbs spiraled toward the far end of the ancient tomb.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted at the end of the tomb, sending shattered stone flying in every direction.
The sheer force of the blast made Xiao Yu's heart tremble just watching it. Nie Li's Light-Dark Elemental Burst was truly staggering in power! It was nothing like something a Black Gold-level cultivator should be able to unleash — that kind of destructive force had to be approaching the peak of the Legendary tier!
But what truly left Xiao Yu stunned was that after unleashing a single Light-Dark Elemental Burst, Nie Li wasn't done. He began launching them madly, one after another.
Streams of black-and-white orbs shot out in every direction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of terrifying explosions thundered from all sides.
Stone wall after stone wall crumbled under the bombardment of Light-Dark Elemental Bursts, collapsing as easily as rotted wood under a gale.
Tenfold Light-Dark Elemental Burst!
Nie Li still wasn't satisfied. He condensed a Super Light-Dark Elemental Burst, instantly draining every last drop of law power from his Soul Sea. The colossal burst slammed into the stone wall directly ahead, and with a deafening roar, the massive wall shattered completely and burst outward.
Nie Li and Xiao Yu surged through the gap in the wall.
An enormously vast space opened up before Nie Li's eyes. Sub-god powerhouses of every race were bound tightly by thin, vein-like cords of light, and streams of power were being siphoned from their bodies, flowing away through those cords into the distance.
