Chapter 946: Chapter 424: Meeting the Netherworld God
After the Netherworld God mentioned it, Lu Hong finally remembered that he really was an elder who had stepped into the God Realm. However, he often mingled with those Third Transformation powerhouses and inevitably forgot his current strength.
“Hehe, so how should I address you now?” Lu Hong scratched his head and asked.
The Netherworld God was silent for a moment, then said, “Just call me Nono!”
“No…..” Lu Hong couldn’t say it out loud. The Netherworld God was indeed affected by Nono’s soul split, but she was still quite different from the Fina Noro of the Sacred Empire back then. Lu Hong couldn’t say it, so he had a sudden inspiration and said, “Why don’t I just call you the Netherworld God, how about that?”
The Netherworld King glanced at Lu Hong and then said indifferently, “As you wish.”
“Alright.” Lu Hong nodded and then continued, “Then, Your Excellency Netherworld God, I came this time to ask about the current strength of the gods from our Star Sea?”
“You’re asking about them?” The Netherworld God nodded slightly, “I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?!” Lu Hong was speechless. Back when they defeated Tang Shi, the policy set by the four divisions of the Star Sea was a dual-line enhancement, led by Nuoshan, to improve the strength of the four divisions, with the Netherworld God responsible for training those upgraded Heavenly Gods, helping them enhance their strength and realm.
The Netherworld God was specifically in charge of this task, and now she’s telling Lu Hong that she doesn’t know?
This made Lu Hong a little angry. The Eighteen Realms were almost at their doorstep now, and the Heavenly Gods were the main combat force against them. If he couldn’t understand their battle capabilities accurately, how could he plan and arrange for battle?
Seeing Lu Hong’s face looking somewhat displeased, the Netherworld God smiled slightly, “Are you worried about the invasion of the Eighteen Realms?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong nodded, “Two realm king legions from the Eighteen Realms have already entered the Constant Domain, aiming to swallow the entire Constant Domain. Conflict with them is inevitable, which is why I need to grasp the current combat abilities of our Star Sea’s Heavenly Gods.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but I sent all the Heavenly Gods, including the Ancestor Dragon, elsewhere. None of them can return unless they break through to the Earth Realm level.”
“What?!” Lu Hong was dumbfounded again, “Where did you send them all off to?”
“Probably to the Eighteen Realms,” the Netherworld God said casually.
“How did you send them to the Eighteen Realms? Can you bring them back?” Lu Hong was speechless, now relying on these powerhouses of the God Realm for combat, and you actually sent them all away.
“They can’t come back.” The Netherworld God shook her head and said, “Originally, they traveled to the Eighteen Realms via the River of Time opened by the Goddess of Destiny. That girl is elusive. I tried to contact her as soon as I learned about the invasion of the Eighteen Realms, but I couldn’t reach her. If the Ancestor Dragon and the others can’t advance to the Earth Realm and break the time seal set by the Goddess of Destiny, they won’t be able to return to Tang Shi through the river.”
“Then what do we do? Are we supposed to consider abandoning Tang Shi and the Tianwu two worlds and retreat back to the Star Sea to delay the clash with the Eighteen Realms legion?”
At this, the Netherworld God chuckled, “Have you forgotten about me?”
“I haven’t forgotten about you, but if you make a move, the Eighteen Realms will surely send realm kings to restrain you, or even multiple people to join forces to kill you. Those people from the Eighteen Realms have no spirit of martial combat.”
“They’re just realm kings, why should I be worried?” The Netherworld God spoke calmly, her tone full of confidence.
Lu Hong didn’t want to undermine the Netherworld God’s confidence, nor could he argue against it. He was too unfamiliar with the Netherworld God’s power and the strength of the eighteen realm kings. In Lu Hong’s view, the Netherworld God could at most take on two, since they were all at the Heavenly Realm God Lord Level. The strength gap shouldn’t be too outrageous. As long as three or more realm kings were dispatched, in Lu Hong’s understanding, the Netherworld God might not win, and there was even a chance she would be defeated, with the worst case being killed on the spot, unable to escape.
“Since our gods are not in Tang Shi, I should discuss with Nuoshan and the others about retreating to avoid the danger for now. The Star Sea is located in the most remote corner of the Constant Domain, maybe the Eighteen Realms won’t find it there.” With that, Lu Hong was about to get up and leave.
The Netherworld God, however, pressed down on Lu Hong’s shoulder at that moment and said, “Are you lacking confidence in your own strength? Or do you lack understanding of my strength?”
“I…..” Although Lu Hong’s physical body had become divine, he hadn’t fought head-to-head with powerhouses at the Heavenly God level and honestly didn’t know what tier he belonged to. He was momentarily unsure how to answer the Netherworld God’s question.
Seeing Lu Hong lost for words, the Netherworld God continued, “In that case, let me take you to experience it, so you can understand your level, and incidentally see my limit!”
After speaking, the Netherworld God unleashed black Divine Power from within, transforming into a dark portal of space.
In the next second, the Netherworld God pulled Lu Hong through it.
After a dizzying whirlwind, the two of them appeared in the central military camp on the ancient road of the Eighteen Realms.
For the beings of the Eighteen Realms, they didn’t like the individual worlds within the Nine Domains very much. The reason was actually quite simple. The Eighteen Realms, as a special world below the Nine Domains, were somewhat dangerous and dark, but undeniably had their merits. However, why did the Human Race abandon that place during the Primordial Era? It was entirely due to the power level suppression there.
Within the Eighteen Realms, there were no individual worlds, nor were there planes per se. If you had to say there were, they were comprised of eighteen interconnected worlds, and the power level was completely uniform, with no upper limit.
Unlike the small worlds within the Nine Domains, where there were many plane suppressions, limiting the strength of those who entered.
The Eighteen Realms, without any suppressive nature, were not ideal for the survival of the Human Race. Human life compared to other races was pitifully short, and their cycle to grow strong was also much longer than other races. Thus, in a world without level suppression, the Human Race was undoubtedly the most disadvantaged. Therefore, they didn’t like the Eighteen Realms and used it as a cage to exile and imprison foreign clans.
As for the races of the Eighteen Realms, they didn’t like small worlds either for similar reasons. They were accustomed to an environment without the slightest level suppression, and being made to live in various worlds was like wearing invisible shackles to them. As the free-spirited beings of the Eighteen Realms, they could not stand being constrained in such a manner.
Thus, whenever the Eighteen Realms occupied a world, they would purge and plunder it, without lingering. Even the legion camps preferred to spend time and effort building on the ancient road, rather than relying on the world portals that were easier for defense and residence.
With the ripple of Space Power emanating from above the camp, the Heavenly God powerhouses stationed there swarmed out in an instant, surrounding the area.
When they saw the Netherworld God and Lu Hong emerge, the Heavenly God powerhouses of the Eighteen Realms all showed cold, mocking smiles.
“Who are you to dare trespass into the Didar Legion camp?” the leading Heavenly God questioned.
The Netherworld God couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge them, saying indifferently, “Scram!”
“How dare you!” The leading Heavenly God was infuriated by the Netherworld God’s attitude and made the first move.
Seeing their leader attack, the other thirty-odd Heavenly Gods didn’t hesitate, unleashing their Divine Power to transform into powerful deadly moves, attacking the Netherworld God.
For the attacks coming straight at her, the Netherworld God lightly pointed a finger while saying to Lu Hong, “First, let me show you my limit, and later you can test your level.”
As the Netherworld God pointed out, violent black Divine Power caused the heavens and earth to tremble. The terrifying black Divine Power, like a roaring demonic god, amidst the waves of fury, caused the attacks of those gods from the Eighteen Realms to collapse and reverse.
Over thirty Heavenly Gods coughed up blood simultaneously under one point of the Netherworld God’s finger and fell from the sky.
“You….. you’re a Heavenly Realm God Lord?!” the leading Heavenly God exclaimed in a trembling voice. Among these Heavenly Gods, he was the strongest and had the highest level, but just an early-stage Earth Realm. According to the information they received, the Constant Domain was just a backwater, insignificant domain. How could there possibly be a Heavenly Realm God Lord stationed there?
But the fact was that there was indeed a Heavenly Realm God Lord in the Constant Domain, and what’s more, she was darn beautiful!
