"Hahaha, not bad. I've already condensed eight lotus blooms and broken through into the Heavenly Star Realm. But aren't you a little too late figuring this out now?" Zhulong hovered in the sky, his expression one of cold arrogance as he gazed down below.
"My lord is mighty and unmatched in this world!"
The Heavenly Star Realm! Back then, the strongest human Spirit God, the Chaos Spirit God, had only reached the peak of the Heavenly Fate Realm. In front of Lord Zhulong, that man would have been nothing more than an ant.
"Hmph, the only reason I hid my strength before was to draw you out. It seems all six great divine sects have sent experts into this Small Linglong World — they really do think highly of me, Zhulong. Since that's the case, then every last one of you can die."
Zhulong's pupils, red as burning candles, swept over the group. With a wave of his massive hand, crackling sounds filled the air as the entire Nether Domain World rapidly froze over under his power. Even the Black Flame Formation quickly became laced with streaks of mystic ice.
"The Heavenly Star Realm? Impossible! How could Zhulong have broken through to the Heavenly Star Realm inside the Small Linglong World?"
The Heavenly Star Realm was a full major level above their Heavenly Fate Realm. Even if all six of them joined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance against Zhulong alone.
The fall of the Nether Domain World was now inevitable.
"Go! All of you, go now! Open the passage to the Dragon Ruins Domain and escape — as many of you as possible. I'll hold them off!" The Nether Domain Master suddenly said through gritted teeth.
He glanced down at the warriors of all races fighting desperately below, and at the countless Nether Domain clansmen huddled within the seventh layer of the Ninefold Death Ground. A flash of steely resolve crossed his eyes.
"Boom!"
The Nether Domain Master instantly ignited his Law power.
He set ablaze the Nether Law within his body. In that instant, the Law power throughout the entire Nether Domain World was roused, converging upon this place in the form of terrifying dark clouds.
"Ni, have you lost your mind? Even if this stops Zhulong, you'll die!"
Law was their very life. Without Law, their lives would come to an end — they would dissipate completely and utterly.
"I, Ni, was born in the Nether Domain. Apart from my years of cultivation in the Feather God Sect, I've spent my entire life in this Nether Domain World. To die here is simply my destined end." There was not a trace of retreat in the Nether Domain Master's eyes. "Go. Now!"
With that, he soared skyward and charged straight at Zhulong.
"Courting death."
Zhulong let out a cold laugh, his figure unmoved. With a casual downward press of his palm, terrifying Law power bore down directly upon the Nether Domain Master. Streaks of Law power lashed out like chains, binding the Nether Domain Master tightly, leaving him unable to move an inch.
Even with his Law ignited, the Nether Domain Master still couldn't break free from Zhulong's power. Over so many years, Zhulong had devoured the divine fragments of too many Spirit Gods from the Small Linglong World, reaching a truly terrifying level of strength.
"And as for the rest of you… I've waited so long, and now that you've finally shown yourselves, do you really think I'd let you leave?"
Zhulong's lips twisted into a savage grin. Countless streams of black molten fire and mystic ice surged through the void, forming a duality of ice and flame that enveloped the entire Nether Domain World, sealing off every escape route for Ling Yun and the others.
Then, two terrifying beams of divine light erupted from Zhulong's eyes.
Boom!
The mystic ice power intertwined with the abyss and molten lava, fusing multiple terrifying Laws of power into a single devastating strike that hammered down upon the Black Flame Formation below. The formation, already weakened and riddled with cracks, shattered apart in an instant.
The entire Ninefold Death Ground was now fully exposed before Zhulong and his forces.
"Ye Han, leave the ones below to me. I want them swimming in blood — not a single one left alive," Zhulong said to Ye Han at his side.
"As you command, my lord." Ye Han's eyes gleamed with cruelty as he waved his hand toward the horde of Demon Beasts massing behind him. "Follow me," he ordered with a cold smirk.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under his leadership, the swarms of Demon Beasts charged madly down toward the Ninefold Death Ground.
Piercing screams rose into the air. Countless experts from the Soul Domain World were slaughtered in moments, falling one after another as blood sprayed out like rain.
Without any Heavenly Fate-level experts to stop him, Ye Han and his Demon Beasts cut through the defenders like a hot knife through butter, slaughtering without mercy. One venerable expert after another from the Soul Domain World fell.
"Lord Ye Han! The Wu Gui Family is willing to follow you!" In their desperation,
"The Wu Gui Family? You…" Luo Jian of the Jade Seal Family and the others all turned pale.
"Hahaha, a bunch of idiots! What use do I have for you now?" Ye Han let out a savage laugh and extended his massive hand, crushing the entire cluster of Wu Gui Family experts into a burst of gore. Watching the despair in their eyes, Ye Han wore an expression of deep satisfaction.
"Now it's your turn." Ye Han grinned hideously and lunged toward Luo Xiao, Luo Jian, and the rest.
