Chapter 846
However, the eyes of all the Divine Beasts revealed the kind of respect that only appeared when they faced the Dragon Emperor at that split second. Regardless of the age of the young man before them, everything he had done was enough to prove that he deserved the trust of the Dragon Emperor.
When he was faced with a crisis of life and death, he did not choose to retreat. Instead, he persevered in confronting the potentially deadly attack. Even his face did not betray any changes. The Divine Beasts were originally very disdainful of human beings. In their opinions, entities like the Nether Lord would never have existed had it not been for the many negative emotions that humans produced. However, at that moment, they only had respect for Zhou Weiqing. In their eyes, the status of humans had already changed. Among humans, there were also heroes!
Although Zhou Weiqing had flung Tian'er's body out, he did not see the halo of platinum Saint Energy wrapped around his waist. The other end of that Saint Energy was in Tian'er's hands.
While the black vortex was engulfing Zhou Weiqing's body, Tian'er was using all her strength to pull on the rope of condensed Saint Energy. Although she could not pull away from the core of Zhou Weiqing's magic formation, she could rely on the inverse force to send herself back.
The formidable power of the Destruction Energy vortex could only be described as horrible. The Nether Lord's terrifying and explosive energy collided with the spiraling Saint Energy that surrounded Zhou Weiqing's body. This generated a strong energy impact, and the energies from both parties were drastically consumed. However, the Destruction Energy was too pure. Thus, within a short period of time, it had unexpectedly broken through the Saint Energy that was successfully condensed by the Twelve Great Divine Beasts.
Of course, the Saint Energy from Zhou Weiqing and the Twelve Great Divine Beasts was not so easily countered. The black vortex had also shrunk at an alarming rate.
Zhou Weiqing's facial expression remained the same. He knew very well that even if that Destruction Energy had strongly affected his body, it still would not be able to kill him. With the weakened Saint Energy, the strength of his own defensive power and the protection from his Heavenly Saint Nucleus Core, he would at most suffer a serious injury. However, the Nether Lord would surely be sealed. The moment before the destruction vortex appeared, he had already used powerful Divine Thought to send out Saint Energy to complete the entire seal. Although that led to insufficient self-defense, the seal was bound to be completed.
However, Zhou Weiqing's face changed in the next moment. Once again, Tian'er's delicate body embraced his body from behind. A dense Saint Energy burst out from Tian'er's body and protected both of them. It was also at this time that the black vortex had broken through the Saint Energy and engulfed both Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er.
The reason Zhou Weiqing's face changed was due to Tian'er and also because of the peculiar changes in the Destruction Energy. Although it momentarily cut off the connection between Zhou Weiqing and the Twelve Great Divine Beasts, it did not directly attack Zhou Weiqing. As a result, the Destruction Energy only engulfed Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er. At that moment, a huge force that was pulling at them burst out. The cluster of Destruction Energy retreated instead of advancing, turning into a stream of black light before it instantly drilled back through the final of the tiny cracks of the Netherworld seal's magic formation.
Boom!

A divine light flashed and a platinum light rose instantly. It transformed into a giant pillar of light, exploding along the meandering passages before it spread out.
The entire seal of the magic formation was finally completed. The seal continued to strengthen while the Saint Energy slowly accumulated after that dramatic rise.
The sealed realm was filled with soft energy fluctuations. Unlike the seal originally created by the Dragon Emperor, the seal's realm at this time truly resembled a separate world. In the sky, countless stars sparkled. Under the feet, the earth emitted a milky white light. The Nether Lord was no longer visible. He had been completely sealed in the Netherworld seal's magic formation.
However, Zhou Weiqing, the person that had accomplished all of this, had disappeared. He and Tian'er had vanished at the last moment when the Destruction Energy had swept everything away.
The radiance from the Saint Energy gradually dissipated from the bodies of the Divine Beasts. When they looked at the perfect seal, the mood of each of the Divine Beasts was heavy. No matter what was said, they were still unhappy.
"Weiqing…" The Elven Queen suddenly flashed and appeared at the place where Zhou Weiqing was at before he disappeared. She stood there in a complete daze. In order to complete the seal, Zhou Weiqing did not take precaution or evade the final attack from the Nether Lord and was forcibly brought to the Netherworld. That was the domain of the Nether Lord. Even if the Nether Lord had expanded a lot of energy previously, Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er would not be his match!
Two figures descended from the sky. It was Hui Yao and Duo Si who had transformed into their human forms as they landed on the ground. Duo Si could not help but rush into the arms of Hui Yao. However, Hui Yao's face looked extremely unsightly.
All the Divine Beasts had descended as well. At this time, Phelia, the Entropic Nether Tiger had also rushed in from the outer circle. However, try as she may, she could not cry out.
Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er had disappeared, and the shock she received was equally great. She had already felt extremely guilty towards Tian'er. Moreover, she had just witnessed the moment her daughter disappeared right before her. Her terrible state of mind could only be imagined.
"He's a hero." The Dragon Turtle's voice sounded. "He's similar to His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor. They're all heroes who have saved our world."
The Elven Queen stood there blankly, "But why must heroes die? I brought them here but I can't bring them back. How can I explain this to their soulmates? How can I explain this to the people outside?"
There was a hint of grief on her face. The Elven Queen sat down cross-legged where she was and murmured to herself, "Perhaps I'm thinking too much. Our lives are intertwined. If he's dead, I certainly won't be able to continue living. Let me accompany him here and wait for the moment of death with him."
"Your Majesty, the Empress. You should not be too pessimistic." The Dragon Turtle's deep voice sounded again. "There's a chance that Zhou Weiqing might come back alive."
The Elven Queen stared blankly for a while. "What did you say? That he might come back alive? He was taken away by the Nether Lord!"
The Dragon Turtle spoke in a deep voice, "However, our seal has also been completed. Previously, when the Nether Lord attacked to destroy the seal, he had been using his Destruction Energy. Moreover, he was also attacked by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and you. In addition, he paid the price for the final self-detonation of his powerful pair of claws in order to capture Zhou Weiqing and his partner. His own cultivation base had also been greatly weakened. Although he's very strong in the Netherworld, it will no longer receive any external negative emotions to re-energize itself since we've already completed the seal. Zhou Weiqing's and Tian'er cultivation bases are not weak. Under such circumstances, there's still a fighting chance. I just find it strange that the Nether Lord chose to take them away instead of attacking them."
After listening to the Dragon Turtle, there were some changes in the faces of the Elven Queen and the other Divine Beasts nearby. The original somber atmosphere had slightly lightened. He was right. Previously, they had joined forces with Zhou Weiqing. In addition, the Nether Lord had to deal with the power of the magic formation. In other words, the present Nether Lord's strength was by no means at its peak. Under such circumstances, Zhou Weiqing might still have a chance.
The Elven Queen nodded slowly. "I hope so. As long as I'm still alive, it'll prove that Weiqing has not died. However, even if he defeats the Nether Lord, how is he going to break the seal that even the Nether Lord could not break through?"
Phelia, the Entropic Nether Tiger began to understand once she heard the Dragon Turtle's words. "Her Majesty, the Empress, you don't need to worry about this. Since our seal is called the Netherworld seal, it's only effective against the Nether Lord's Destruction Energy. As long as Weiqing and Tian'er can defeat the Nether Lord, they can use their own Saint Energy to return through the seal without the restriction from the Destruction Energy. God, bless the children!."
As Phelia spoke, she slowly knelt on the seal and silently prayed.
Hui Yao patted Duo Si who was trembling with grief. "Let's go out first. The people outside are waiting anxiously. We must at least inform them about what happened here."
"Alright."
The two enormous dragons simultaneously rose and flew out of the abyss.
It was dark. An endless darkness.
When Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er were swept up by Destruction Energy, they could only feel an endless darkness. Zhou Weiqing's Divine Thought was connected to the Twelve Great Divine Beasts. Due to that reason, they were already strong enough to reach the Heavenly Change Tier. Although they were forcibly disconnected by Destruction Energy, he could still perceive what was happening at that moment.
'I'm finished.' That was Zhou Weiqing's last thought before he broke away from the seal and entered the crack. He never imagined that the Nether Lord would come up with such a method. Instead of attacking him directly, he used the power of self-destruction to pull him and Tian'er along into the Netherworld.
The powerful and unstable Destruction Energy fluctuated constantly. It moved around Tian'er and himself, and everything around them became unreal. The distorted and illusory energy fluctuations continuously crushed them. Zhou Weiqing could only use his Saint Energy to protect himself and Tian'er from getting eroded by the Destructive Energy.
The only thing he was glad about was while he had been mobilizing the Saint Energy from the Twelve Great Divine Beasts previously, his and Tian'er's cultivation base had reached its peak. However, even if their cultivation base was at its peak, could they overcome the Nether Lord?
His body suddenly felt lighter. The surrounding Destruction Energy seemed to have collapsed. Although it still existed, it was no longer as dense and pure as before.
"Tian'er, why did you follow me?" Zhou Weiqing pulled Tian'er from behind him by her little hand. For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.
The seal was completed but he and Tian'er were caught in the Netherworld. At that moment, Zhou Weiqing could only feel the impending death looming ahead of them.
Tian'er looked at Zhou Weiqing. She did not seem to care about anything from the outside world. "Fool, how can I let the father of my child die on his own? Whatever happens, I want to be with you. Don't even think of getting rid of me."
Zhou Weiqing clenched Tian'er's hand tightly. He did not blame her anymore. Things had already come to this. There was no point in him saying more.
"Very touching, isn't it? Is this what you humans call love?" A neutral voice came from all directions.
The originally dark space suddenly lighted up.
A light came from the front. It was a faint green glow that easily brought fear into people's hearts.
A huge body emerged from the green light; it was a huge crab. The width of its body was about a kilometer wide. As its eight long legs spread open, a closer look revealed that there were innumerable patterns on its body, and those patterns were like human faces. Each face had a different emotion. There was anger, panic, and resentment. Each one was different but all of them were strong negative emotions.
Two huge eyes were located at the top of the body, looking like two small, remote green suns that were sparkling. Not far from both eyes, there were gaps in the huge body that was positioned at the front of the crab. It was apparent that these from the earlier detonation on its body.
The Nether Lord. Zhou Weiqing finally saw the body of the Nether Lord. The big guy in front of him had already achieved the Heavenly Change Tier. Furthermore, it possessed the Destruction Energy from the Heavenly Change Tier. It was the polar opposite of his Creation Energy.
"You look really disgusting." Zhou Weiqing said in disdain.
The Nether Lord was not angered by his words. "You're already in my world and yet, you're still so disparaging. What's the point? I did not expect that my plan would be destroyed by such a puny human like you."
Zhou Weiqing sneered, "Do you think I'll have good words for you even if I don't berate you? Will you let me go then?
The enchanting voice of the Nether Lord charmingly said, "Why won't I let you go? If you allow me to imprint a destruction mark in your soul and help me break through the seal, I'll not only let you go, I'll also let you return to your human world. You can also become my spokesperson in the human world. I can even promise you that I'll set aside a piece of land for you and let you live happily."
Zhou Weiqing burst out in loud laughter, "Hahahahaha. Nether Lord, are you trying to trick a three-year-old child? We only just sealed you up with great difficulty, and you actually expect me to release you? Moreover, do you think your destruction mark can be imprinted on my soul? My body is almost completely made up of Saint Energy. You shouldn't daydream."
"Then, the only outcome is destruction." The voice of the Nether Lord suddenly turned cold. An awe-inspiring killing intent burst out without any reservation, and like a raging wave, it ferociously smashed into Zhou Weiqing's and Tian'er's body.
The dense platinum Saint Energy radiated from Zhou Weiqing's body. It shrouded him and Tian'er inside. In any case, he had previously experienced the mystery of the Heavenly Change Tier. Coupled with the integration of the Dragon Emperor energy, his cultivation base had progressed another step although he could not become a Creation God.
"Come on then. Let's see whether I can cut off some of your crab legs before you kill me."
The Nether Lord did not seem to be in a hurry to act against Zhou Weiqing. His huge dark green eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.
"Zhou Weiqing, you must have found it very strange that I brought you here instead of using the final moment during my self-detonation to launch an attack on you. I paid such a heavy price for self-detonating only to invite you to the Netherworld, don't you feel puzzled?"
Zhou Weiqing's heart was moved. "What? Do you want to dispel my doubts?"
The Nether Lord issued a series of wicked laughter. "Why not? Do you think that the Netherworld seal that was built from your Saint Energy can completely seal me inside and that I'll never get out again? Even to the extent that I'll no longer be able to have any connection to the outside world?"
As he spoke, the killing intent that erupted earlier slowly dissipated.
Zhou Weiqing remained calm and collected, "Isn't that so? Nether Lord, it's useless for you to play these tricks on me. Whatever it is, I'll not be deceived by you."
The Nether Lord snorted in disdain, "Tricks? Do I need to play any tricks on you? Your lives are in my hands. I just want you to die contentedly. Let me tell you honestly. Yes, with you as the leader and Saint Energy as the core instead of the original Dragon Emperor power, the Netherworld seal is completed. I can no longer break through. I'm also incapable of connecting with the outside world through the cracks to strengthen myself. This time, I've suffered an unprecedented trauma and do not even have the ability to break through the seal again. My cultivation base also suffered severe damage and I lost my claws. Coupled with the depletion of the original source of destruction, I'm no longer even a being at the Heavenly Change Tier. I have regressed to a level that's only a little more powerful than Fen Tian."
Tian'er's eyes could not help but betray a hint of happiness when she heard the Nether Lord's words. However, in contrast to her, Zhou Weiqing's eyes immediately looked somber.
The self-detonation was short-lived. What did that mean? That meant that although the cultivation base of the Nether Lord had been weakened, he was absolutely certain he would be able to deal with the both of them. That was Zhou Weiqing's first thought. Moreover, the Nether Lord did not influence them to break the seal. Instead, he gave them an account of his own circumstances. His mood was still so calm. Could it mean that he still had a way to deal with the seal? Is he going to make use of him and Tian'er?
Zhou Weiqing had been learning from Mu En since his childhood. He was much better at understanding human nature and words than Tian'er.
Sure enough, the Nether Lord faintly sighed, "I absolutely did not anticipate that I'll be forced into such a situation. However, I still have a slight chance and it's created by myself. I'm not afraid to tell you that when I finally blew up my front claws if you had slightly let go of the formation, there's a possibility that I could've rushed out. Even if I just ran partially out of Divine Thought, as long as I secretly cultivate and continuously absorb the grievances and negative emotions in your human world, I'll be able to restore my strength to its previous level sooner or later. Regrettably, you stopped me, to the extent of not caring about your own safety. However, would I allow you to seal me? Zhou Weiqing, you forgot one of the most important things. Although the Netherworld seal's magic formation is powerful, it needs a continuous energy injection. The Saint Energy injected this time is large enough to maintain the seal for at least ten years or more. However, what will happen after ten years? Don't tell me in your human world, there are still people like you who possessed such pure Saint Energy and can also use the energy of the Dragon Emperor as a guide? Hahahahaha."
Upon listening to what the Nether Lord said, Zhou Weiqing's face finally changed. He already understood what the Nether Lord was trying to say.
"Originally, I was already desperate when you sent this girl out. After all, she has the same pure Saint Energy as you. Replenishing the formation with Saint Energy is still possible with the support from the Elven Queen and the new Dragon Emperor. Unfortunately, she couldn't bear to part with you so she followed you in here. Even the heavens helped me. I just need to kill the both of you here and quietly wait until the Saint Energy that supports the formation to deplete. Although it's impossible for me to break through the formation with my current cultivation base, at least I can secretly open up a small crack and once again absorb the grievances and negative emotions from the human world to replenish myself. In less than a few decades, I'll have the ability to once again attack the Netherworld seal's magic formation. At that time, I'd like to see who else in your human world can stop my coming."
Zhou Weiqing's facial expression was unsightly. Tian'er was in a daze beside him. She never expected that because of her love for Zhou Weiqing, she had given the Nether Lord an opportunity that he could exploit.
"Tian'er, ignore his words. He's trying to divide us. If I'm not mistaken, he's not absolutely certain that he can kill us."
Zhou Weiqing's cold voice which rang in the air sounded very clear to Tian'er and himself. Tian'er herself possessed the Divine and Spirit Attributes. They were later transformed into the Saint Attribute. Her Divine Thought was much stronger than others of the same level. Although it was not as strong as Zhou Weiqing's, after receiving this hint from him, she suddenly felt her mind becoming clear, and the negative emotions that had just emerged suddenly disappeared. Her eyes once again regained a clear and determined look.
The voice of the Nether Lord came to an abrupt end. "What did you say? I can't kill you?" The Nether Lord screamed as if it had heard something ridiculous.
Zhou Weiqing nodded without hesitation and said, "Correct. You're uncertain if you can kill us. Am I right? Nether Lord, you're really devious."
"Do you think everything I said was lies? Do I need to lie to a junior like you?" The Nether Lord was obviously a little angry.
Zhou Weiqing shook his head and said, "No, you were not lying. On the contrary, you were telling the truth. That way, you'll be able to properly confuse us. You needed to use this counter-argument to divide me and Tian'er, and at the same time, cause our remorse to give rise to negative feelings. Yes, there's no way you can receive Destruction Energy that's transformed from negative emotions from outside. However, you can still absorb our negative energy to replenish yourself. Both Tian'er and I are at Heavenly God Tier, and our negative emotional energy is much stronger than that of ordinary humans. If everything you said is true, you could've just killed us the instant we arrived. Everything will then go according to your plan. Why are you wasting so much time arguing with us? The only explanation is that you're seriously injured, and you're not absolutely certain you can kill us. Am I right?"
The Nether Lord quieted down, and the two eyes on top of his head moved slightly. The dense Destruction Energy suddenly converged into his body. His voice also subsequently calmed down a lot.
"Looks like I'll never be able to compare with you humans in terms of treachery. Zhou Weiqing, you win again. However, there's a flaw in your reasoning that's not entirely true. It's not that I'm not certain if I can kill you. I'm just not certain I can kill you without having to pay a heavy price."
"I've been sealed in this terrible place for far too long, and I do not wish to wait in this pitch-black realm for even another minute. I have to admit that your cultivation base has already reached a level high enough to threaten me. I don't currently have the power of the Heavenly Change Tier. However, it's not a difficult task if I want to kill you. At most, I'll need to sleep in this world for another hundred years."
Zhou Weiqing sneered, "A hundred years? I am afraid it's more than that. If your consumption of energy is too high, how can you create a crack in the Netherworld's seal and quietly absorb the negative energy from outside? If you can't even do this, then you can only destroy yourself here. This is what you're worried about, and this is why you don't dare to use all your energy to attack us. Am I right?"
"You… You bastard!" The Nether Lord was furious. He never expected to be far inferior to Zhou Weiqing when it came to a comparison of treachery or perhaps, wisdom. He had already concealed matters very well but everything was still discerned by Zhou Weiqing. At that time, he had no other choice.
A twisting fluctuation of the dark Destruction Energy appeared on the huge body of the Nether Lord. It could clearly be seen as his whole body began to twist violently.
Zhou Weiqing floated there motionlessly. All the starlight from the Ringless Ground Purging Set on his body subsequently lit up. Under that magnificent state, the dragon-shaped shadows also pulsated and continuously revolved around his body.
A faint light circulated in the air. Zhou Weiqing's eyes were continuously focused on the Nether Lord and did not relax. His other hand firmly gripped on to Tian'er's hand and both their Saint Energies continued to be connected.
The Netherworld was the Nether Lord's domain after all. It could be said that it was his Divine Territory. Zhou Weiqing feared that once he was not in contact with Tian'er, they would be separated and annihilated by the Nether Lord.
The black light gradually dwindled. Suddenly, the Nether Lord's body actually became incorporeal. While his body was shifting to an incorporeal state, it shrank rapidly and everything seemed rather unreal.
Zhou Weiqing pulled Tian'er with his left hand, and the Dual God Strength Hammers in his right hand moved forward a little. A beam of platinum light shot out towards the Nether Lord.
With a light bang, the Netherworld trembled slightly. Subsequently, the platinum light disappeared into thin air. Not to mention that it did not hit the body of the Nether Lord, it did not even manage to reach a distance of twenty meters when it was shot out.
The distorted radiance gradually diminished. The body of the huge crab in mid-air disappeared. A figure about the same height as Zhou Weiqing appeared in the spot where the body of the Nether Lord was previously located.
It turned out to be a human silhouette. It was approximately two meters tall with wide shoulders. The entire body was dressed in a dark green armor. The back was like Fen Tian but it had eight long legs spread out like wings. The handsome face was grim and cold, his serene, glittering green eyes firmly trained on Zhou Weiqing.
His body armor did not include a helmet and he had a huge, bald head. However, the dark green light in his eyes was too strong. The Destruction Energy around his body was extremely viscous. Zhou Weiqing could clearly feel that that human-like body was completely condensed from the Destruction Origin Energy.
"Isn't it strange that I chose to use a human form to end this last battle with you? This is because I think a human form is the most suitable for fighting. Now… Both of you, die!"
As soon as the Nether Lord said that, he made the first move. His body flashed slightly and the entire Netherworld suddenly turned into a serene green color. His body also vanished into thin air.
'Here it comes.' Zhou Weiqing's heart tightened. He did not hesitate to brandish the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands. He did not target anything specifically with the Hammers. Instead, he attacked the air within the Netherworld.
With a loud rumbling sound, the Netherworld shook violently. Zhou Weiqing and the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands exuded a strong, distorted platinum light beam.
In the Netherworld that was filled with Destruction Energy, he forcibly created a black hole that was three meters wide with his attack. Due to the appearance of the small black hole, the entire Netherworld went through a rapid spatial transformation.
Do not underestimate Zhou Weiqing's hammer attack. On top of his invincibility, it had properties from the Spatial Law and the Time Law. Even the Nether Lord had to merge terrifying amounts of power to achieve that effect.
Bzzt!
The Nether Lord's body appeared on the right side of Zhou Weiqing's and Tian'er's back. He was less than ten meters away from Zhou Weiqing. If Zhou Weiqing's action was a little slower, the attack from the Nether Lord would have struck him.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing's eyes had also brightened up. A dazzling platinum light sparkled in his eyes. The frightening energy fluctuated and exuded a tyrannical aura. He did not look back as he kicked his right leg backward. He carried the distorted platinum light and charged towards the direction of the Nether Lord.
When he kicked his right foot out, a dense mass of incandescent luster burst out of his right foot before it turned into a condensed light with an electrical charge.
At the same time, Zhou Weiqing pulled Tian'er's delicate body and flung her outward.
Both of them had cultivated together for such a long time that they could read each other's mind and there was no need for Zhou Weiqing to say anything. Tian'er knew what she was supposed to do as a chain of Saint Energy encircled Zhou Weiqing's waist and connected the two bodies. Immediately after that, she flew tens of meters away. That was the only way she would not hinder Zhou Weiqing in his melee combat.
Zhou Weiqing kicked out his right foot, his body turned and the Dual God Strength Hammers that carried with it a terrifying force smashed directly towards the Nether Lord.
When the Nether Lord saw the incandescent light ball that Zhou Weiqing's right foot kicked out, he was taken aback. He did not expect Zhou Weiqing, even without the help from the Divine Beasts, to actually still be able to release such a pure form of Saint Energy.
What the Nether Lord did not know was that while maintaining the formation previously, Zhou Weiqing had attained a completely new understanding of Saint Energy. Although he no longer had help from the Divine Beasts, he was still able to purify Saint Energy with the integration of the Saint Energy from both him and Tian'er.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing had already completely disregarded life and death. The moment he arrived at the Netherworld, he did not keep any thoughts about getting out alive in his mind. What he wanted to do now was to weaken the Nether Lord as much as possible, inflicting a serious amount of damage to him to an extent that he would never recover. This would be the only way the seal that he initiated would not be wasted. Although Zhou Weiqing also believed that the scenarios mentioned by the Nether Lord were possible, the powerhouses led by the Elven Queen would also find ways to continue maintaining the formation. There was no pure Saint Energy but a semi-pure form of Saint Energy still existed. The cultivation base of the Nether Lord had been weakened to a certain degree and to a certain extent, it could not be restored. It would be easier said than done for him to break through the seal. In the battle between him and the Nether Lord, each time the Destruction Energy from the Nether Lord was depleted, he would be one step nearer to being destroyed.
How could Zhou Weiqing have any hint of cowardice when confronting the Nether Lord after he made such a decision?
The Nether Lord did not have any weapons in his hands. Seeing the ball of incandescent light that was sent in his way, his right hand flashed out like lightning, and he actually caught the ball.
The ball of incandescent light was actually extinguished by the Nether Lord accompanied by a hiss. However, at the very instant when the ball of light burst, an explosive roar sounded from the Nether Lord's hand. It actually exploded and it shook his body.
Immediately after that, Zhou Weiqing's hammers reached him. The eight long legs at the back of the Nether Lord moved forward to block and at the same time collided with the massive hammerheads. A ding was heard along with the terrifying energy fluctuations that burst out at that moment. Zhou Weiqing was surprised to find that he actually felt like he was unable to deploy his powers. The power of the Nether Lord was applied in all eight directions. The tyrannical power of destruction was like eight sharp needles piercing into his Dual God Strength Hammers. This immediately dissolved most of the strength with a soft bang. Zhou Weiqing had no choice but to retreat more than ten meters away.
At the same time, a layer of warped light appeared before Zhou Weiqing. It blocked the eight beams of Destruction Energy shot out by the eight long legs. Wherever the Destruction Energy made contact with this warped light, it would immediately disperse. None could fall on Zhou Weiqing. This was, indeed, the Time Disorder skill.
Earlier, when the Nether Lord was attacked, Zhou Weiqing had kicked a ball of light that had the Dark Demon God Lightning's version of Saint Energy. It was equivalent to combining three types of energy before it was detonated. Even the Nether Lord was tricked and suffered some damage.
The brief clash and contact gave Zhou Weiqing a chill in his heart. The cultivation base that the Netherworld Lord revealed was much stronger than Fen Tian at his peak. Although it was not at the Heavenly Change Tier, the purity of the Destruction Origin Energy had far exceeded his own Saint Energy. It was almost impossible to defeat him.
Chapter 847
The Nether Lord stared at Zhou Weiqing coldly with his pair of green eyes. His attack did not stop at all. To be exact, it was only the beginning.
His body flickered, but he did not disappear. However, his speed was so fast that it was no different from Blink. What was even more frightening was the fact that Zhou Weiqing could not use Blink in the Netherworld. This was because he could not find Spatial Law here for some reason. He could still destroy Spatial Law like before, but it was impossible for him to master or control it here.
Sharp claws appeared soundlessly on the Nether Lord's right hand. All eight legs behind him instantly stretched out as well. A net of greenish light charged directly at Zhou Weiqing. This green color was the true color of the Destruction Origin Energy. It was far more blood curdling than the black Destruction Energy.
The Nether Lord's attack was very simple. There were no extravagant schemes, and it was simple and direct instead. He merely relied on his tyrannical force and speed.
A brilliant white light shone down from the sky and shone directly on Zhou Weiqing. His body was instantly enveloped by a layer of platinum light. It was time for Tian'er to make her move now.
At this moment, changes could also be seen on Tian'er's body. With her body as the principal part, three pairs of wings glittered with platinum light behind her. She had actually transformed into the Seraphic Blazeangel. Not only that, her body still maintained its original size, and it kept her Saint Energy in a highly concentrated state as much as possible.
Instead of retreating, Zhou Weiqing advanced. With a stride in the air, his body faced forward. All of the starlights on his Groundless Purging Set instantly lit up. An alarming amount of Saint Energy condensed on every starlight, it was as if an explosion that could happen in the next second would blow the entire realm up completely.
The Nether Lord was taken by utter surprise after he sensed the way Zhou Weiqing was burning his Saint Energy in a frenzy. He was initially charging towards Zhou Weiqing, but he instantly made a sharp turn and flew away horizontally.
A weird sneer could be seen on the corner of Zhou Weiqing mouth. "Idiot! It's only a bluff!" The Saint God Nucleus Core flew out of Zhou Weiqing's body soundlessly. The move he made earlier was executed with the help of his Saint God Nucleus Core's energy. Only he knew if the move earlier was an attempt to deceive the Nether Lord or not.
A galactic ray that was like the Milky Way flowed down from the sky and spilled all over the Dual God Strength Hammers. It wiped out the green light that the Nether Lord previously released. The Saint Energy and Destruction Energy created a loud sound from the friction that sounded eerily like nails on a chalkboard.
Due to the problem with the purity of the Zhou Weiqing's energy, his consumption of the energy was undoubtedly far greater than the Nether Lord. However, what he consumed was the Destruction Origin Energy — the Nether Lord's most precious energy. Now that the Nether Lord could no longer replenish his energy from the outer world, it would do Zhou Weiqing good if he could consume this even if it was just a small amount. The Nether Lord was so angry that he let out a cry after he was deceived by Zhou Weiqing into wasting his origin energy without yielding any results at all. The Nether Lord's speed suddenly increased as he rushed towards Zhou Weiqing like an arrow of green light. Judging from his stance, it seemed like he wanted to perish together with Zhou Weiqing.
Zhou Weiqing still remained extremely calm at this moment. He understood very well that this would probably be the last battle in his life. He wanted to give it his all. Even if he died, he would make sure that the Nether Lord suffer as well.
At this moment, the gigantic Dual God Strength Hammers was like a paddle in Zhou Weiqing's hands. His body remained still, but the Dual God Strength Hammers continued to swing twice in front of him. It still had the same platinum brilliant Saint Energy, but the aura that it carried was entirely different.
The Nether Lord instantly crashed into it in the next moment. There were no rumbling sounds, but the Nether Lord could feel that the energy before him was emitting peculiar waves. His body instantly skidded. He did not crash into Zhou Weiqing, but he skidded to the side instead. At this moment, even his pure Destruction Origin Energy could only snuff out the two energies that Zhou Weiqing released when he skidded to the side.
Spatial Rend, and the Time Disorder Skill. This was the method that Zhou Weiqing used to retaliate earlier. However, do not forget that although he possessed the Saint Energy, he was still only a Heavenly Jewel Master who possessed six Heavenly Jewels off different attributes. He would never use his Saint Energy to counter-attack if he really wanted to deplete the Nether Lord's Netherworld Origin Energy. After all, the strength gap between the two of them was awfully huge. All that Zhou Weiqing could rely on now was merely his skills and techniques.
Zhou Weiqing and the Nether Lord literally brushed past each other. The speed of the Nether Lord was as swift as lightning. However, Zhou Weiqing had shown an innate battle capability that defied all reason. From the deception earlier to the defense that he had just displayed, it was all because of his foresight that he was able to deal with the Nether Lord's attack. At the same time, his body was already half turned when he was casting the two skills earlier. That was why when the Nether Lord skidded to the side, Zhou Weiqing used his Dual God Strength Hammers like a meteor hammer 1and smashed it mercilessly onto the Nether Lord's back.
There was a loud bang. Just the brute force alone was horrifying enough to torment the Nether Lord terribly, not taking into consideration that the Saint Energy was attached to the Dual God Strength Hammer.
With a loud bang, his entire body was sent flying like a cannonball and turned into a green spot that disappeared from Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's sight in just a blink of an eye. One could easily imagine just how terrible the power that Zhou Weiqing had just used.
However, Zhou Weiqing did not stop there. With this one smash onto the Nether Lord, he also received the Feedback from the Destruction Origin Energy, that drained all the Saint Energy from his body for a split second.
Zhou Weiqing retrieved the Dual God Strength Hammers. Both his hands drew an image on the air, and two triangular-shaped light instantly appeared before him. The Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation suddenly appeared. Moreover, it was a dual Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation.
Two dazzling platinum lights in the shape of hexagrams appeared above Zhou Weiqing's head and below his feet respectively as twelve Heavenly Jewels spun splendidly.
Zhou Weiqing could conserve as much Saint Energy as possible and also use his strongest force with the help of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation. One should never underestimate the two clashes between him and the Nether Lord earlier. Although it might look like Zhou Weiqing had the upper hand, he experienced the profound terror of the Destruction Origin Energy after made contact with the Nether Lord. After he experienced the two collisions, his Saint Energy was immediately depleted by twenty percent before he could even lessen the erosion that the Destruction Energy caused. What a frightening Destruction Energy!
The platinum light began to display peculiar changes under the shelter of the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation. Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy started to become incandescent.
Even Zhou Weiqing himself did not expect the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation to have this special effect. He was the caster of this formation so he immediately figured out the reason behind it in a heartbeat.
It was not because his Saint Energy had been purified again. Instead, it was the boost that the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation produced after being perfectly merged with his six Heavenly Jewels. By nature, the boost affected the Saint Energy and increased its power.
Once again, the Dual God Strength Hammers appeared in Zhou Weiqing's hands. The huge hammers were pointed forward. The intense glow made the hammer resemble a small sun that was blindingly dazzling with a radiant luster.
At this moment, the green shadow of the Nether Lord appeared within the range of this incandescent light. How incredibly fast the Nether Lord was! Despite the fact that the earlier attack was quite powerful, it was still not enough to inflict any real harm on him. However, the dismay in his heart was quite apparent. In just a flash, he flew back again, just in time to see the completion of Zhou Weiqing's Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation that would purify his Saint Energy again.
Whoosh —
This time, the Nether Lord no longer charged directly towards Zhou Weiqing. Instead, the eight long legs behind him lit up again simultaneously. Each of them was turquoise in color. It was a kind of turquoise that was surrounded by a dense black aura. Eight streaks of green lights instantly blasted out from the tip of the eight legs and condensed into a mass of light before him. At the same time, the Nether Lord laced all his ten fingers together and another mass of green light instantly appeared as well.
In an instant, the entire Netherworld lit up. Everything was engulfed in the green light.
Tremendous pressure started to pile down on Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er frenziedly from all directions. Both of them unleashed their Saint Energy in full force to prevent this powerful Destruction Energy from affecting their bodies.
Space, time, and everything else seemed to have been completely sealed off. It was not just the Spatial and Time Law but this time, all of the techniques could no longer be in use. All they could do was to use the purest energy to counter with brute force.
Zhou Weiqing's skills had caused quite a problem for the Nether Lord so he no longer reserved when using his Destruction Origin Energy. The more frugal he was about it, the higher the price he had to pay. At this moment, he had already made up his mind to end the battle in a single round.
A dark look that had never been seen before fell on Zhou Weiqing's face instantly. Through the telepathic ability of his Saint Energy, he asked Tian'er to return and stand behind him. At the same time, the incandescent light his body emitted became extremely robust as well.
The Dual God Strength Hammers were crossed in front of his chest. Every single star on his Ringless Ground Purging Set instantly lit up. This was the Netherworld, and the Nether Lord was the true ruler in this realm. When the Nether Lord made up his mind to fight head-on with Zhou Weiqing, there was no longer any other option for Zhou Weiqing. All that he could do at this moment was to ignite all of the Saint Energy in his body and fight the Nether Lord to the last drop of his Saint Energy.
The Nether Lord's eyes lit up brightly. He had already made his decisions. After killing Zhou Weiqing, he would definitely get a certain amount of negative energy from Zhou Weiqing and his wife. At this moment, he wished that the negative energy would be slightly more so that it would be enough for him to open a tiny crack — even if it was the smallest rift ever — in the Nether Seal Formation. When that happened, he would have a chance to escape from here.
Whoosh —
Without warning, the two green light orbs in front of the Nether Lord stacked on top of one another. The two orbs merged into one. Although it did not increase in size, a mass of pitch black light materialized out of nowhere right in the center of the two green lights after the orbs merged. It was like an eye that was piercing chillingly at Zhou Weiqing with its gaze.
The Eye of Destruction — the Nether Lord's most powerful skill. Back when he was still in his prime, it was exactly with this skill that he was able to crack the Netherworld seal's magic formation. Right now, he was actually using this skill to go against Zhou Weiqing. Although he was no longer as powerful as he was in his prime, the power of this Eye of Destruction was still horrendous.
Almost instantly, the dark and dim light blasted out without warning. At the other side, Zhou Weiqing was also affected by the dynamics of the Qi around him. All of the stars that erupted from the Ringless Ground Purging Set melted into one with his incandescent Saint Energy before it turned into a thin but extremely condensed and solid incandescent light. It clashed directly with the beam that blasted out of the Eye of Destruction in the air.
Zhou Weiqing's Saint God Nucleus Core — the core of where the light had erupted from — had all its ten fingers interlaced. Incandescent light continued to surge out of it ceaselessly.
This was definitely Zhou Weiqing's most powerful attack in his entire life. At this moment, he felt like he was touching the edge of the Heavenly Change Tier. Although it was not the real Heavenly Change Tier, just the feeling of elevation itself was more than enough to give him some confidence
However, this confidence would soon become dismayed.
Black versus light. The instance the two beams clashed in the air, that black light quickly forced Zhou Weiqing's light to retreat in an overwhelming manner. It bore down on it and fell towards Zhou Weiqing in a supersonic speed.
The dark light from the Eye of Destruction had an irrepressible imposing manner, and it was firing towards Zhou Weiqing like greased lightning 2 .
It was also at this moment that the Nether Lord's body seemed to fade a little. One could easily imagine how much of a toll it took on his body. However, it was precisely because it the huge toll it took that he had such a frightful force. Zhou Weiqing condensed all of the energy from Tian'er, the Ringless Ground Purging Set and himself, but it still could not stop the Eye of Destruction's beam at all.
Right now, all color had already drained from Zhou Weiqing's face. He could clearly feel the Destruction Energy that was charging at him directly from the front. After all, death would cause everyone to shiver in fear. Zhou Weiqing's full potential was suddenly unleashed when he saw the black light approaching him inch by inch.
It was like the rich incandescent light was going to burn his body into ashes. Incandescent flame rose up into the sky and entirely bathed Zhou Weiqing in it.
That was right. Zhou Weiqing lit up his own Flames of Life due to this circumstance where his life hung in a balance. This was the only way that he could increase the force of his attack.
At this moment, the Eye of Destruction's beam had already reached the front of the Saint God Nucleus Core. A hint of pale milky white color could be seen in the sudden increase of the incandescent light. It was the appearance of this hint of milky white color that halted the Eye of Destruction's beam that had already reached Zhou Weiqing's chest. It was only an inch away from the Saint God Nucleus Core.
The Nether Lord's eyes twitched as he sneered coldly, "Burning your own Flame of Life? Alright, I'd love to see how much more life you have left to burn! Under my Eye of Destruction's beam, death will only come to you faster!"
He was not exaggerating. Although Zhou Weiqing's attack was greatly boosted by burning his own Flames of Life, he could feel that his own vitality was being consumed at an extremely alarming rate at the same time. Almost in a blink of an eye, Zhou Weiqing could feel himself degenerating, and his black hair instantly turned all white.
His vitality was fading rapidly crazy, and it was just enough for him to resist the attack. However, how much longer could he withstand it?
Tian'er hovered behind Zhou Weiqing and watched his black hair turned white with her own eyes. At this moment, her heart almost shattered into pieces. However, she could not do anything at all to help him. Right now, even her Saint Energy cultivation base that was at the Lower Level of the Heavenly God Tier would not be of any use to Zhou Weiqing. Even if she burned her own Saint Energy, it would still be impossible for her to help Zhou Weiqing to withstand the Eye of Destruction's attack.
'Little Fatty… Little Fatty!' Tears had fully clouded Tian'er's view. She had completely lost all hope at this moment.
…
Outside the seal.
Hui Yao and Duo Si were back again. Flying from the Netherworld seal to the outside of the abyss and back again required a long time after all. On top of that, it had only been fifteen minutes since Zhou Weiqing was captured into the seal by the Nether Lord.
The Elven Empress was the most nervous. Color had long drained away from that beautiful and delicate face. All this while, she had been continuously and silently sensing her own vitality. The life sharing ability of hers and Zhou Weiqing was not obstructed by time or space at all. Despite her nervousness, her face remained calm and composed because she knew once Zhou Weiqing was dead, she would not be able to live as well.
Sharing a life with a male human being filled her with a very complicated feeling. Moreover, she had no idea why but somehow, it seemed like Zhou Weiqing had taken a place in her heart, and had become completely irreplaceable.
'Could he come back alive?' A bitter look could be seen on the Elven Empress's face. Without a doubt, the probability of Zhou Weiqing coming back alive was basically close to zero. That was the Netherworld God for f*ck's sake! One could easily imagine just how powerful the Nether Lord was. Even Zhou Weiqing's attributes would definitely be suppressed, let alone his cultivation base.
At this moment, the Elven Empress swayed on the spot without any warning. Horror instantly dawned on her face. This was because she could clearly feel that her own vitality was being consumed at an alarming rate.
'Weiqing, it was Zhou Weiqing!' His vitality was so deteriorated that he now needed to consume the Elven Empress' vitality. At this second, chills gripped onto the Elven Empress' heart. She knew that the inevitable was coming. The fact that Zhou Weiqing could last for fifteen minutes in the Netherworld alone was something that was more than enough to make one proud. However, there was no change to the outcome at all.
A sorrowful look slowly crept up the Elven Empress' face as she slowly sat down with her legs crossed. Be it her or the Ancient Tree of Life behind her, both of them started to emit an intense turquoise brilliance that transformed into streaks of rich energy ripples that slowly vanished into nothingness.
That was right, Zhou Weiqing was starting to deplete the Elven Empress' vitality at this moment. The moment his hair had completely turned white, his own vitality had already reached a stage where it was almost dried up.
What a terrible consumption rate! Zhou Weiqing was a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse at the Maximum Level who had already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Change Tier. Even under such circumstances, his vitality was still being consumed so rapidly by the Eye of Destruction.
"Oh?" A puzzled voice could be heard from the Nether Lord. Previously, he had properly calculated that Zhou Weiqing would fall in the next second. However, he had no idea why a wave of vitality that was filled with determination suddenly burst out of Zhou Weiqing's body. The vitality continued to burn and withstand the beam from the Eye of Destruction as it stopped the black light from devouring him.
Once again, Zhou Weiqing had defied his prior judgment. The Nether Lord had an extremely annoyed look on his face. The Eye of Destruction was indeed powerful, but the consumption of his Destruction Origin Energy was equally huge as well. If this continued to go on, he would only have very little energy left in him.
However, he had no other choice as well at this moment. All he could do now was to kill off Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er first before the option of opening the door would even be open to him.
On the other hand, Zhou Weiqing's vision that had become obscured suddenly lit up without warning. He could clearly feel the strong wave of vitality that was pouring out from his heart to every inch of his body. This wave of vitality kept flowing in an endless stream without any interruptions. All the same, a beautiful shadow rose from inside his heart.
'I-It's the Elven Empress. I'm sharing her vitality now. Moreover, it looks like I'm using up the Ancient Tree of Life's vitality as well.'
'B-But, the vitality consumption is just too fast! I'm afraid that they would all die with me if this continues!' Zhou Weiqing thought to himself as his heart was filled with a bitter taste. However, he had no energy left to change the current situation. Zhou Weiqing and the Elven Empress were destined to die together because of their life sharing ability. What else could he do? Pray for the Nether Lord's Destruction Energy to be insufficient? This was obviously impossible! Not only did the power of the Eye of Destruction not show any signs of being weakened, it was constantly getting more powerful as time went by. It caused the vitality that was burning in his body to vanish at a distressing rate.
"L-Little Fatty…" At this moment, a trembling voice rang in Zhou Weiqing's ears.
In the next second, Tian'er entered his sight.
Due to the incandescent Saint Energy that burned around Zhou Weiqing's body being too strong, Tian'er could no longer have any contact with his body. However, because they were both of one heart and shared the same feelings and sentiments, Tian'er could clearly sense Zhou Weiqing's vitality that was about to deplete anytime now.
"Little F-Fatty," Tian'er was calling out to him softly, "I really don't want to watch you die. I-I'm sorry, Little Fatty. P-Please forgive me… Our son and I will make our moves first. W-We'll wait for you i-in the other world."
'NOOO…! TIAN'ER!' Zhou Weiqing shouted maniacally in his heart. However, he could not do anything all at this moment — he could not even making the slightest noise. It was all he could do to watch as Tian'er threw herself into the destruction beam.
That was right! Tian'er had already made up her mind to be selfish for once. She really could not stand seeing the man whom she loved the most dying right in front of her eyes. For this reason, she would rather die before he did.
While Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's was decisive, the Nether Lord was overjoyed and delighted. The moment Zhou Weiqing entered the Netherworld with Tian'er, Zhou Weiqing had been suppressing his emotions. Even now when he was faced with this situation where he was about to die, he did not show any negative emotion at all.
However, things were different now. As Tian'er threw herself into the destruction beam, a tremendous amount of negative emotions rushed out of Zhou Weiqing in a frenzy. Furthermore, these negative emotions greatly complemented the Nether Lord's Destruction Energy.
The Nether Lord understood very well that once Tian'er died, Zhou Weiqing would be greatly consumed by his negative emotions. He had even planned to slow down his attack if Tian'er died so Zhou Weiqing would release more of his negative emotions. Then, he would be able to replenish his Destruction Energy.
A Heavenly God-tier powerhouse was indeed very fast when they flew. The second Zhou Weiqing shouted in his heart, Tian'er had already flung herself towards the Destruction beam and used her body to block it from blasting forward.
Zhou Weiqing instinctively shut his eyes. Two streaks of tears flowed out of his eyes without control.
A series of images began to flash through his mind. He could still remember clearly what a cute little chubby cat Tian'er was when he met her for the first time. When he was at the darkest point of his life, Tian'er had helped soothe his heart using her own body. No matter what the situation was, she would always be by his side, all the way until now. At this moment, Zhou Weiqing was so agonized that he could not even breath. For a moment, he had even forgotten where he actually was.
'Tian'er, Tian'er…' Zhou Weiqing could not suppress the anguish in his heart. That heart-rending heartache was so agonizing that the burning of his vitality started to become unstable. Even the Elven Empress who was outside of the seal could feel the call from his heart.
Whoosh —
The destruction beam blasted squarely at Tian'er. At that instance, Tian'er's body suddenly stiffened. The Saint Energy that was protecting her immediately broke down under the Eye of Destruction's beam. After all, the energy was so bloodcurdling that even Zhou Weiqing was not able to hold it off.
The destruction beam soundlessly hit Tian'er's body, her eyes were already shut tightly. Although she was extremely unwilling, she did not regret her decision at all. Even if she could only hold off the attack for the sake of her man for a brief moment, she would never regret her decision.
The Nether Lord's eyes were already filled with a manic joy. He was eagerly waiting in excitement for Zhou Weiqing to explode with negative emotions and for Tian'er's own negative emotions to erupt after she died.
However, the laughter in his eyes froze without warning in the next moment. His entire body instantly began to shake violently. This was because Tian'er did not disappear although she was blasted with the destruction beam. Instead, a layer of gentle and harmless looking white light was radiating from her body.
In the face of this gentle white light, the powerful Eye of Destruction's beam was like cheese that came in contact with a red-hot steel knife — it instantly shattered. In just a blink of an eye, the entire destruction beam vanished without a trace.
The gentle white light pulsated before the Eye of Destruction gently. The eye also froze and in the next moment, it faded away when the Nether Lord blasted out black aura from his mouth.
"This… T-This is impossible!" The Nether Lord shouted hysterically. He could not believe this. He could not believe the situation that had just unfolded in front of his eyes.
The Nether Lord felt the soft gentle white layer of light, and Zhou Weiqing could feel it clearly too. With tears flowing down Zhou Weiqing's cheeks, he could feel an extremely gentle energy suddenly enveloping his entire body. Hot on the heels was the fact that his vitality that was consumed before was now being restored at a speed that was much faster than the speed it was being consumed before. The Saint Energy in his body was also returning to his body at a miraculous speed. Moreover, this time the Saint Energy was no longer white gold in color nor was it the incandescent color that appeared after purification. Instead, it was a kind of gentle-like white color, a color that Zhou Weiqing was unable to describe but it was a color that was completely filled with Creation.
Intuitively, Zhou Weiqing opened his eyes. His pupil immediately widened up in surprise. 'W-What was that?'
He could see a holy saint light shining with radiance in the Netherworld that was filled with darkness and destruction.
Tian'er was not dead. She was hovering in the air with her eyes closed. Circles of gentle white light ceaselessly emitted from her lower abdomen.
At this time, a loud cry from a baby suddenly filled the air. A mass of soft white light suddenly floated out from Tian'er's lower abdomen.
Indeed, there was no wound on Tian'er, but a small tiny baby just flew out from her lower abdomen.
That baby had a height of about fifty centimeters. Both of his palms were fisted tightly together. His legs were curled up closely towards his chest. The pink little buttocks were so adorable that it was absolutely succulent. Moreover, it was apparent there was a tiny, cute little thing hanging in between both of his legs.
Yes, it was a boy.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing was blown away. Tian'er was taken aback as well. All of this went beyond their expectations. It was not only the Nether Lord who could not believe this, even the two of them who were the initiators could not believe the scene before their eyes as well. However, this scene had undeniably taken place right in front of them.
A soft white light was radiating off the tiny body, and it bathed Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er in it. The Saint Energy in their bodies also turned into the gentle white color as well.
After the tiny baby floated out of Tian'er's lower abdomen, he slowly opened his eyes. Although his body was still curled up in a fetal position, at this moment, Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er could clearly see a pair of clear black orbs in his eyes.
It was like they could see the other side of the world from these black orbs. It was also at this second that the both of them could feel every part of themselves being elevated.
The moment the Eye of Destruction was shattered, the Nether Lord had already flown far into the distance. He was aghast as he stared at the scene before him. He could clearly feel that all of the Destruction Energy in the Netherworld was disappearing at a terribly brisk speed, and it was caused by none other than the gentle white light that was radiating from the baby's body.
'This… T-This is impossible!' The Nether Lord's soul trembled in fear. This was because he could finally identify what this gentle white light was.
It was the Saint Energy. It was not the Saint Energy that Zhou Weiqing possessed, but it was the Genesis Saint Energy instead. The true Genesis Saint Energy! The most formidable, most powerful energy in existence. An energy that only the Genesis God possessed — the Genesis Saint Energy that was endowed with an infinity of Creation Energy.
'C-Could it be that he's the reincarnation of the Genesis God? A… A Saint Baby…'
The despair in the Nether Lord's heart was exactly the same one that Zhou Weiqing had felt just a moment before. Right now, he could no longer muster the strength to revolt. After all, any resistance would be futile in front of the true Genesis Energy.
"T-Tian'er!" In a flicker, Zhou Weiqing appeared in front of Tian'er and hugged her tightly in his embrace.
Tian'er was looking at Zhou Weiqing as well. With her trembling voice, she announced, "T-This is our c-child!��� At this instance, she had already recalled the white light that appeared when she was previously attacked. It turned out that all this while, it had been her child who had been protecting her all along. And right now, at this moment, he was finally born.
"T-That's right! It's o-our son!" Zhou Weiqing's voice was trembling as well. He could feel the changes in his Saint Energy. Although his judgment was not as refined as the Nether Lord, he understood fairly well that this battle was finally over. Truly over! His own family finally emerged as the final victor.
The tiny baby floated slowly into the sky and eventually fell into Tian'er's bent arms. His big eyes were lit up with divine glitters as he looked at Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er with the newfangled novelty of coming into this world.
Although Dongfang Hanyue had also given birth to Zhou Weiqing's son as well, the feeling of witnessing the birth of his son was entirely different. At this moment, there were only excitement and joy in Zhou Weiqing's heart. Intuitively, he lifted up a hand to stroke this cute little life gently, a little life who had given his parents a new life.
However, it was apparent that this little guy did not seem to care much about a certain somebody's feeling. A small fair hand lifted up and seized Tian'er's chest. Another small hand quickly dived into her clothes and started to grope naturally.
Zhou Weiqing stared at this scene in bewilderment with his mouth agape. In the next moment, a fair and tender bulging mound was taken out by the little guy. Tian'er's gasped in shock as his tiny pink mouth immediately latched onto it and started to suck vigorously.
Was this a lecherous instinct or survival instinct? Zhou Weiqing was a little dumbfounded. However, although he was in shock, he was quickly reminded of a certain important thing that he had yet to do.
He lifted his head up as his piercing gaze searched sharply for a certain figure. Now that Zhou Weiqing had possessed the true Genesis Energy, even if he was not the Genesis God, he was more or less similar to one. Even supposing the Nether Lord was still in his prime, he would still probably not be a match for Zhou Weiqing, let alone a Nether Lord who was left with only an empty shell.
However, when Zhou Weiqing tried to look for him, he was astonished to find that the Nether Lord had vanished from sight. Although the surrounding remained dark, no signs of the Nether Lord could be seen at all.
'Did that guy run away?' Zhou Weiqing snorted coldly, "Nether Lord, do you really think you can escape from me? I'll just tear apart your Netherworld and see where you're going to hide after this!" With his Genesis Saint Energy cultivation base, he no longer bothered about the Netherworld seal. Indeed, the Nether Lord could still conceal himself in this Netherworld but what would happen if the Netherworld was gone? Where else could he hide?
Intense Saint Energy exuded out of Zhou Weiqing's body and transformed into a huge white halo that spread out to his surroundings. All of the Destruction Energy in the surrounding area was being purified in an extremely astonishing speed. The place that the Genesis Saint Energy brushed past was full of vigor and was void of destruction.
"Little one, don't make your move so recklessly. It's better to leave the Netherworld as it is, and as for that Nether Lord, let me help you to deal with him."
At this time, a crisp voice could be heard reverberating in the air. In just a blink of an eye, a streak of strange blue light appeared out of thin air in this dark realm.
Zhou Weiqing's Genesis Saint Energy was indeed powerful. However, when this blue shadow appeared, a golden light radiated from his body and actually forced all of Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy to retreat.
At that moment, horror dawned on Zhou Weiqing's face. 'Who was this? Why was the Saint Energy not working on him?'
The blue figure appeared, and it turned out to be a young man with handsome features. His blue, long hair that was like the blue ocean hung loosely behind his shoulders. A blue robe that was like the ocean as well shrouded his entire body. A golden weapon could be seen in his right hand.
The dazzling golden light illuminated almost the entire Netherworld, including the Nether Lord who was curled up by the corner.
It was a golden-colored trident. 3
1. An ancient Chinese weapon, consisting at its most basic level of two weights connected by a rope or chain.
2. John Travolta anyone? hahah!
3. HEHEHEHE, CLIFF
Chapter 848
The blue-haired youth watched Zhou Weiqing with a gentle look. The golden trident in his hands looked particularly dazzling.
"Who are you?" Zhou Weiqing asked cautiously. Now that another person had suddenly appeared in the Netherworld, who knew if this was another plot or trick by the Nether Lord.
The blue-haired youth smiled, "I guess I'm known as a God from your point of view."
"God?" Zhou Weiqing stared at him in astonishment with his mouth agape.
The blue-haired youth nodded his head. "Let me deal with the elephant in the room first." As he said that, he turned around slightly and faced the direction where the Nether Lord was at.
"What God? F*ck you!" The Nether Lord snarled madly in terror and anger. His originally crouched body leaped up and charged towards the blue-haired youth. Whatever little Destruction Origin Energy that was left erupted from him.
He understood very well that it was unlikely that he would be spared today. When Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er's suddenly gained the Genesis Saint Energy under the illumination of the Saint Baby's light, he knew immediately that he was doomed. At that time, his only thought was to use his familiarity with the Destruction Realm to hide for a short while to prolong his life. However, it seemed like it was almost impossible now. Under the all-embracing radiance of the Genesis Saint Energy, he had no place to shelter himself at all. How could he possibly find a place to conceal himself?
That blue-haired youth appeared to be much easier to deal with compared to Zhou Weiqing. With this thought in mind, the Nether Lord rushed forward with the idea of perishing together with him in mind.
Eight long crab legs were bared and brandished. Streaks of green lights instantly blasted out as it formed a giant net and shrouded the blue-haired youth.
Zhou Weiqing hovered in the air without doing anything. He wanted to see exactly how this blue-haired youth was going to handle the Nether Lord.
The blue-haired youth only smiled when faced with the Nether Lord's attack. The smile remained warm and gentle. " I haven't used my Eight Spider Spears for some time now. Since you've eight legs as well, I might as well use that to deal with you!"
Eight blue lights immediately shot out from behind the blue-haired youth — it was eight crystal clear long and blue legs. Although they might look almost similar to the ones that the Nether Lord possessed, the aura that they emitted was completely different.
The aura that emanated out of the blue-haired youth was awe-inspiring, massive and magnificent. Zhou Weiqing could not distinguish the exact attribute of that inexhaustible energy. All he could feel was that even his own Genesis Saint Energy would not be able to retaliate against it.
A gigantic net of blue light spread out in no time. The Nether Lord instantly resembled a flying moth that darted into the flame. The instant his so-called Destruction Origin Energy that could destroy everything came in contact with the blue light, it immediately vanished without a trace. The next second, the Nether Lord's body was directly shrouded inside the huge blue net as it was being sucked in by a powerful force.
The blue-haired youth let out a sigh, "You know, you can be considered as quite a genius for being able to cultivate from enmity and destruction to such a level. Unfortunately, you should've never existed in the first place. You didn't cherish your wisdom. Instead, you chose to walk on the path of self-destruction. Just this one point shows that you're far less clever than the little girl who plays with fire from the other world. For this reason, I've no choice but to wipe you off this world."
As he was saying that, the clear black pupils of the blue-haired youth suddenly became red. A wave of horrifying air that forebode evil that erupted from the blue-haired youth almost made Zhou Weiqing fall. It suppressed all his Genesis Saint Energy and forced it back into his body.
A red light flashed for a second in the sky before it disappeared again. The net of blue light was no longer in sight, and before the Nether Lord could even let out a last scream of terror, any remnants of his soul had already been completely wiped out from this world. There was not even a trace left at all.
The evil air immediately retracted, and the blue-haired youth returned to his original gentle temperament again. However, both Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er were gripping their chest tightly at this moment. They could clearly feel that this blue-haired youth was most likely even more frightening than the Nether Lord in his prime. The Genesis Saint Energy that he was proud of did not seem to have any effect on this youth at all.
"Do you find it strange that your Genesis Saint Energy is useless against me?" The blue-haired youth turned towards Zhou Weiqing and flashed him a gentle smile.
Zhou Weiqing nodded his head. At this moment, he started to believe the claim that the blue-haired youth had made earlier about him being a God. After all, there was no reason for the youth to deceive them at all with the power that he possessed.
The blue-haired youth smiled. "Actually, the theory's very simple. This is because neither one of you nor the Nether Lord whom I've just wiped out, are gods. In a sense, your understanding is actually correct. The so-called Heavenly Change Tier in your world indeed is a tier that reaches the level of a God. However, that's only confined to reaching the level of a God. Whoever wants to become a true God must possess the true status of a God. Otherwise, just having God's power itself without possessing the legacy will not allow you to become a real God."
"As for your Genesis Saint Energy. Yes, you're right, it 's indeed the most powerful energy in this world. Even if you only possess this Genesis Saint Energy temporarily, it's already quite impressive. Even I would find it hard to kill the two of you who temporarily possess the Genesis Saint Energy."
"The two of you are very fortunate. It's because the two of you already possess the Saint Energy when your child was conceived. Conceiving a child happens to coincide with the Genesis Path. For this reason, before your child was even born, he already possesses a little bit of the Genesis Origin Energy. Originally, if he was born under normal circumstances, this bit of Genesis Origin Energy would dissipate on its own. However, who would have ever thought that the Nether Lord would activate this Genesis Origin Energy with his Destruction Origin Energy. It's exactly because of this that the two of you have the power that you have right now."
"I've already felt it initially when the Nether Lord tried to break the seal. I immediately made my way here without wasting any time. However, what entered my sight was all of you working together to seal the Nether Lord again. Moreover, the two of you have created a miracle, and I guess I'm just here to clean up the mess."
Zhou Weiqing was dumbfounded. That was to say even if he and the others did not come to fight the Nether Lord, the person before him would still come to wipe the Nether Lord off. It seemed like even the Godworld would not allow the Netherworld to exist!
Tian'er could not help but ask, "T-Then, would it affect our child?"
The blue-haired youth shook his head, "Don't you worry about it. It won't have any effect on him at all. However, this Genesis Saint Energy is a power that nobody can possess, not even the Gods. This is because the Genesis God had disappeared after he created this world. Honestly, even I can't help but be a little jealous that your child can temporarily possess the Saint Baby's power. After a period of time, the Genesis Saint Energy would disappear from your body, and your original strength will be restored so you don't have to worry about anything at all."
Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Weiqing continued to ask, "So why did you stop me from destroying the Netherworld earlier?"
The blue-haired youth replied, "This Netherworld has become a fixed place that absorbs the enmity and all negative emotions from your world. Therefore, you'll only need to come here regularly to purify this realm. This way, you no longer have to worry about the emergence of another Nether Lord in thousands or even ten thousands of years to come. If this place is destroyed, and as luck would have it, another Netherworld would most probably be formed at some other place that you don't know of. There's no point in allowing this to happen right?"
This time, Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er finally understood. Both of them bowed towards the blue-haired youth at the same time. "Thank you for your guidance."
The blue-haired youth smiled, "I need to go now. Before I leave, Weiqing, have you ever thought about becoming a true God? The power that I used to wipe out the Nether Lord earlier was called the Shura Energy. He's one of the Three Great Enforcers in the Godworld who has a power that's almost equivalent to a God King. If you're willing, I can transform your Saint Energy into the Shura Energy, and let you inherit the God's Status of God Shura. As for your cultivation base, as long as you work harder and cultivate for a period of time, even the God King might not be your match."
Zhou Weiqing was taken aback. He looked into the clear eyes of that blue-haired youth as he faced a proposal that was enough to make everyone go crazy, he shook his head firmly.
"No, it's alright. Thanks for your kindness."
"Can you tell me the reason why?" The blue-haired youth asked curiously.
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Well, because being a God might not be as enjoyable as being a human. Otherwise, why would you give your status to me?"
The blue-haired youth laughed, "What a cunning kid! Alright, it's time for me to leave. Goodbye. If you happen to change your mind, just face the dark sky, and call out my name. I'm Tang San by the way."
A streak of blue light flickered and transformed into a light beam. It rose up into the sky as it brought Tang San along. He waved his hand at Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er from the sky while he muttered in a gloomy and low voice that only he could hear, "Ahh I've finally found someone who's capable to be my heir but I got rejected in the end. Looks like Kindness and Evil are quite the cunning people. They somehow managed to get that little Ji Dong and Lie Yan to inherit their places. Hmm, seems like I need to work harder and give my status as the Shura God away as soon as possible so that I can finally bring Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi to live a free life."
…
Outside the seal. Within the deep abyss.
Those who were waiting were no longer restricted to the twelve Divine Beasts and the Elven Empress.
Shangguan Tianyang, Xue Ao'tian, and Zhou Weiqing's wives were here waiting quietly. Hui Yao and his wife had fetched them over and told them everything that had taken place before.
The three Shangguan sisters, Little Witch, and Dongfang Hanyue were all so pale that no words could come out of their mouths. Only tears could be seen welling in their eyes.
What were the odds of Zhou Weiqing coming out alive after being dragged into the Netherworld by the Nether Lord? None of them dared to even ponder on this question.
"L-Little Fatty, L-Little Fatty! You must make it out alive! I won't blame you anymore, alright? No matter how many wives you want to have, I'll never disagree any longer!"
Shangguan Fei'er who was usually domineering, high and mighty was now fully drenched in tears. Although she looked like she was the strongest of the girls, she was currently the most vulnerable right now. She hugged Shangguan Bing'er and Little Witch, and the three of them were crying until they were out of breath.
Although Shangguan Xue'er and Dongfang Hanyue were quite strong, both of them were staring ahead numbly into space as well. Dongfang Hanyue muttered in a low voice, "As long as you can make it out alive, I'll go back immediately and stop disturbing all of your lives okay? Weiqing! Please stay alive!"
Shangguan Xue'er shook her head, "No! If he comes back alive, all of us are a family! You must stay as well!"
Dongfang Hanyue was shocked as she stared at Shangguan Xue'er. The two girls locked eyes. At this moment, the wall between them slowly melted away as they both felt despair.
Only the Elven Empress who was sitting there with her eyes gradually opening had a faint smile on her delicate face.
"LITTLE FATTY —" All of a sudden, Shangguan Fei'er's shrill voice pierced the sky, "You bastard! You must come back alive! As long as you're back, even if you want to sleep with all of us together at the same time, I'll be willing to do that too…"
If she had announced such words previously, all of Zhou Weiqing's wives would have blushed a crimson red. However, at this moment, all that they had were tears.
Suddenly, at that moment of grief, a teasing voice resonated among the crowds, "Oh! A bargain is a bargain!"
"L-Little Fatty?"
"Little Fatty!"
"LITTLE FATTY —"
"Little F-Fatty…"
"AH! Don't bite me! I'm still alive!"
…
The turquoise blue sky was entirely cloudless. This was a world that was decorated in green. The grass was green and lush. Various cute animals were playing all over the green hills and valleys.
Beside the huge lake that was as blue as blue crystal, a thatched cottage that appeared simple yet comfortable stood quietly.
"Little Fatty! The eldest one just pee-peed! Go and clean out the urinal please!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now."
"Little Fatty, is the meal ready? I'm hungry. If my tummy's not filled, your daughter's tummy will not be full as well!"
"Alright, It's coming soon! Eight dishes and one soup! It's absolutely sumptuous!"
"Little Fatty! You told me that you're going to give me a massage! When are you going to do it?"
"I-I… Oh, my lovely wives! Can somebody teach me a Shadow Clone Technique 1 please!" A certain someone shouted out indignantly.
"Well, you deserve it!" A few beautiful voices rang out almost unanimously.
Zhou Weiqing was an honest man. He had fulfilled his promise and created this separate realm that was connected to the Elf Tribe. At this moment, he was using the remainder of his time to greatly compensate his loved ones.
Two huge figures could be seen sneering not far away from the thatched cottage.
Hui Yao was laughing in his deep voice, "As it turns out, having multiple wives is not necessarily a good thing. Looks like being faithful to one is better after all!"
Duo Si chuckled, "You're right. Still, it's not okay for you to gloat you know. Weiqing is our great benefactor after all!"
Hui Yao chuckled as well, "Of course, I'll never forget that. If it's not for his Saint Energy that nourished our health tremendously, you wouldn't be able to get pregnant again. Looks like we'll have to push back our plan of finding our tribe. However, I believe that even if our ancestor is resurrected, he'll never blame us for this."
Embarrassed, Duo Si lay her head on Hui Yao's neck, "The twelve Divine Beasts from the Nether Seal that Weiqing has sent out to accompany Dongfang Hanyue back to the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland will most probably be coming back soon I guess."
"Yeah! Only this brat Weiqing can do such thing. I still remember his tone at that time. He told Dongfang Hanyue that if the Mysterious Heavenly Palace refuses to set her free, he'll ask the twelve Divine Beasts to pull the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland over to join with the Boundless Mainland. Oh, yeah! What words do the humans use to describe a person like Zhou Weiqing again? I remember there are two words, right?"
"Are you trying to say these — hooligan and rascal?"
…
