Chapter 499: Heavenly Star Realm
"Why? You don't dare? Wu Yu, don't let down my efforts," Ye Han teased.
"Ye Han, don't spout nonsense. Although my Wugui Family isn't a good family, we won't betray the Nether Realm."
The Patriarch of the Wugui Family, Wu Hun, bellowed anxiously, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. He knew that if he didn't express his stance now, he would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention.
"Oh? Why didn't I, Ye Han, realize that your Wugui Family is so loyal and righteous?" Ye Han sneered. His gaze suddenly landed on the two people beside Wu Yu and the others, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Long Sha, Gui Sha, why don't the two of you join me? Back then, you attacked Glory City and suffered heavy losses. After eradicating the Nether Realm, the first thing I, Ye Han, want to do is destroy Glory City. I want Ye Mo and the others to know how wrong they were to expel me from the Ye family back then," Ye Han said with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Your Dark Union holds a grudge like Glory City. Cooperating with me is in your best interests."
Ye Han's words drew everyone's attention to Long Sha and Gui Sha.
"Don't listen to this person's nonsense. Ye Han is just shaking our morale." Long Sha and Gui Sha's expressions changed as they inwardly complained.
In terms of standing, the Dark Guild and Glory City were indeed at odds with each other, and they aligned somewhat with Ye Han. However, no matter what, Long Sha and Gui Sha wouldn't dare to betray the Nether Realm at this moment.
Ignoring the fact that the Demon Lord had pledged allegiance to the master of the Nether Realm and entered that vast world, even if they truly wanted to betray him, they wouldn't be able to do so under such circumstances.
"A bunch of cowards." Seeing that the Dark Guild and the Wugui Family remained silent, Ye Han sneered. His gaze landed on the square formation in another city, and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, isn't this the Northern Nether Family's Tian Ling?" Ye Han smiled. "Back then, you were a super genius in the Nether Realm, along with the Soul Winged Family's Cang Ming and the Soul Refinery Family's Mu Ye. Now, they've been selected to enter the Draconic Ruins Realm and join the large sects there. Unfortunately, you're the only one left in the Nether Realm. Tsk, tsk, tsk. How pitiful."
In the Northern Nether Family, Tian Ling's expression turned ashen.
Ye Han shook his head and smiled. "Trash like them don't dare to make a move. Your Northern Nether Family is a top-notch family in the Nether Realm. As long as your Northern Nether Family secretly destroys the Black Flame Array, I'll recommend you to enter the Demon God's Sect in the Draconic Ruins Realm after everything is done. How about that?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Demon God's Sect is the most powerful sect in the Draconic Ruins Realm. It's much stronger than the six Divine Sects that those guys joined,"
Ye Han said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the Northern Nether Family below descended into chaos and clamor.
If it was possible to survive, the Northern Nether Family naturally wanted to survive.
"How is it? Are you tempted?" Ye Han smiled. "You don't have to directly destroy this Black Flame Array. You just have to secretly cause trouble."
*Boom!*
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden-armored Deity-servant swiftly appeared above the Northern Nether Family in the Nether Realm, his cold gaze causing a commotion.
The Northern Nether Family was a top-notch family in the Nether Realm. If they secretly destroyed the Black Flame Array, it could indeed cause great trouble for the master of the Nether Realm.
"Hahaha."
Witnessing this, Ye Han burst into laughter. "Tian Ling, the Deity-servant under the master of the Nether Realm doesn't seem to trust you?"
"Don't buy into his lies," the master of the Nether Realm shouted coldly, his face livid.
Ye Han's words were spoken in public, and he didn't hide anything. However, his actions were an open conspiracy that would disrupt the entire Nether Realm. The reason the Nether Realm had endured until now was because they were united.
However, if their unity were to crumble, the Nether Realm would undoubtedly collapse.
"We can't let this continue!"
The master of the Nether Realm steeled his resolve and looked up at the sky. He bellowed, "Zhu Long, if you want to fight, let's fight."
*Boom!*
The master of the Nether Realm soared into the sky. He knew that if he continued to defend, he would definitely be breached one day. Only by switching from defense to offense could he have a chance of winning.
"Kill them!"
The master of the Nether Realm activated the nomological powers of the entire Nether Realm. Instantly, countless nomological auras surged like a hurricane, transforming into pitch-black spears that shot towards Zhu Long.
"Hahaha, perfect."
Zhu Long roared with laughter and waved his hand. Streaks of mystical ice transformed into an ice dragon, colliding with the black spear released by the master of the Nether Realm. Amidst a deafening explosion, the entire Nether Realm seemed to be facing an apocalypse. Terrifying ravines and breaches were everywhere, creating an extremely terrifying sight.
Terrifying shockwaves swept out, causing the void in the Nine-Layered Deathlands to tremble violently. Apart from the seventh to ninth levels enveloped by the Black Flame Array, the other Nether Realm worlds began to collapse.
Nothing could impede their auras. Wherever they passed, rocks were reduced to dust.
Beneath the Black Flame Array, numerous powerful figures from the Nether Realm hunched over, nearly suffocated by the terrifying aura. If not for the Black Flame Array guarding them, just the aura that swept over would likely have annihilated them, leaving no trace behind.
"Is this an attack from a Spiritual God expert? How terrifying."
Numerous pinnacle Demigod powerhouses looked up in horror. In the past, in the Nether Realm, pinnacle Demigods like them were already the cornerstone forces of the various aristocratic families. However, in front of the master of the Nether Realm and Zhu Long, everyone felt insignificant. It was like an ant facing a divine dragon.
Both Zhu Long and the master of the Nether Realm unleashed their strongest attacks. Their nomological powers clashed repeatedly, and Zhu Long's Law of Ice enveloped the entire Nether Realm in a thick layer of frost. Instantly, the entire eighth level of the Nine-Layered Deathlands transformed into a world of ice.
The power of ice pressed down on the master of the Nether Realm, condensing frost on his body.
"Nether, you weren't my match the last time, and it's the same this time. Where are your two helpers? Why did they hide and disappear this time? Did they flee back to the Draconic Ruins Realm in fear?" Zhu Long scoffed.
His divine consciousness swiftly spread out. He knew that the master of the Nether Realm wasn't the only powerhouse from the Draconic Ruins Realm in the Nether Realm.
"Hmph, who said we were hiding?"
Just as Zhu Long frowned and searched, a cold snort suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…
With that, a total of five figures suddenly appeared in the void. As soon as these five figures appeared, they immediately floated around the Black Infernal Tower, forming a pentagram and forming a huge array.
They were the elites of the other six Divine Sects, led by Ling Yun, Tian Hun, and the others.
"Zhu Long, do you really think we can't punish you? Brother Nether, form the array!"
Ling Yun shouted, and their bodies emitted colorful nomological lights.
With a rumble, their nomological light surged into the Black Infernal Tower like a torrent. The entire Black Infernal Tower instantly erupted with black light. With the support of the six powerhouses, a terrifying black flame light soared from the top of the Black Infernal Tower and instantly surged into the master of the Nether Realm above.
"Black Flame Blade!"
With a furious roar, the master of the Nether Realm pressed his palms together and raised them high. A massive blade of black flames materialized in the void. The blade burned with blazing black flames as it slashed at Zhu Long.
*Boom!*
The massive blade descended, and blazing black flames erupted with a world-destroying power. The void instantly boiled over like water, and terrifying black flames swept out. Under this terrifying impact, the countless demon beasts surrounding the Black Flame Array instantly burned and let out shrill cries.
In an instant, over a million demon beasts evaporated under the black flames, turning to ashes.
In the next moment, the blade of black flames arrived above Zhu Long's head.
"Hahaha, perfect. Nether, is this your trump card?"
Facing the terrifying blade of black flames, Zhu Long let out a hearty laugh. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Boom! His body instantly expanded, transforming into a colossal flood dragon that hovered between heaven and earth. With a human face and a dragon body, he spat out a mouthful of Dark Clam aura at the Black Flame Blade above.
Rumble!
The two terrifying forces collided, causing a shocking explosion in the void. The Black Flame Blade in the master of the Nether Realm's hand instantly exploded, and he was sent flying by the immense backlash. He plummeted like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
*Pa!* *Pa!* *Pa!*
Below, Ling Yun and the others trembled under the recoil of the Black Infernal Tower. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and wounds covered their bodies. They were in an extremely sorry state.
"Nether." Ling Yun steadied herself and hurriedly soared into the sky, grabbing the master of the Nether Realm who had fallen from the void.
"I'm fine."
The master of the Nether Realm wiped the blood from his mouth and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
At the site of the shocking explosion, Ye Han's body was riddled with wounds, and he was severely injured from the massive impact. He stared at the source of the explosion in shock.
It was too terrifying.
He hadn't expected the master of the Nether Realm and the others to hold back. No wonder His Excellency hadn't attacked with all his might. Ye Han felt uneasy and panicked.
If I had resisted the terrifying attack earlier, I would have been reduced to ashes. I wonder how His Excellency is doing.
If His Excellency were to perish, I would probably be doomed too.
"Hahaha, Nether, I have to say, your attack was quite powerful. You actually injured me."
As the explosion dissipated, a figure slowly materialized in the void. Zhu Long placed his right hand in front of him. His palm was faintly charred, and there were no other wounds on his body.
"How could this be…"
The master of the Nether Realm, Ling Yun, and the others' faces turned pale with disbelief. The Black Flame Blade had merged the power of the six of them at the Heavenly Fate realm, and with the augmentation of the Black Infernal Tower, its power had far surpassed the Heavenly Fate realm. How could it fail to kill Zhu Long?
Suddenly recalling something, the master of the Nether Realm glared at Zhu Long in anger and exclaimed, "You… you've already stepped into the Heavenly Star realm?"
