Nethery was not the dead woman, so she could not fully unleash the Cursed Goddess’s power. Even so, she could still kill Soul Nine instantly. Such strength was truly astonishing.
Soul Nine was not as strong as Tai Fei, but she had slaughtered a great world before she managed to promote to her current level.
Tai Fei was actually called Soul Thirteen. In the Soul Demon clan, he was now a Numbered Soul Demon, and the existences one level higher than him were called Soul Overlords.
According to his calculation, Numbered Soul Demons were about the same as human God Kings. However, Soul Demons had a great advantage, that was, they could imitate human divine power and abilities. Of course, they could not imitate the Power of Law, but that did not matter.
Soul Demons came from the Soul Realm, which was also called the Soul Demon Universe. They were the supreme existences in that universe, and they also possessed unique talents. Human beings had Laws, and the Soul Demons also had fearsome means that could fight against human Laws.
In fact, there was a time when humans also existed in the Soul Demon Universe. They had even started a war to resist the Soul Demon’s rule. Unfortunately, they were all turned into the Soul Demons’ food in the end.
Human beings were originally the food they kept in captivity. When the food dared to fight back, it was only natural for them to be wiped out. So, from then on, Soul Demons were the only ones left in the Soul Demon Universe.
Nethery hovered in the sky. The cursed snake was at her side, sticking out its tongue from time to time, its scales glinting beautifully.
She was very domineering now. After fusing with the dead woman’s power, she had become one of the supreme experts in this world. Even Bu Fang might be weaker than her in terms of hard power.
The Cursed Goddess did not need to comprehend Laws. A Demigod now, what Nethery comprehended was not Laws but her own curse power. Perhaps, to the Cursed Goddess, the curse power and Laws were the same things.
“Sister Nethery is so mighty!” Bu Fang could not help but clench his fists as he looked at the domineering side of Nethery. He was fond of lying down. With Nethery here, he could finally lie down in peace.
The crowd down below was also awed by Nethery’s domineering air. Among them, the pupils of Summer and Luo Sanniang constricted when they saw her transformation, and the latter’s eyes even grew slightly darker as she felt a sense of failure. When compared with Nethery, she was really… too weak.
Tai Fei, or rather, Soul Thirteen was very angry at the moment. He had gone through countless hardships to grow into a Numbered Soul Demon. How could he be defeated just like that? He had to seize the Cursed Goddess’s body, as that was the key for him to become a Soul Overlord. He could not fail.
Tai Fei moved. His body was covered with insect scales in an instant, which made his aura grow even stronger. Then, his eyes glowed with a scarlet light as he fixed them on Nethery.
Frowning and pursing her red lips, Nethery raised a hand and slapped it out in Tai Fei’s direction. A rumbling sound filled the air as the sky began to shake. At the same time, the cursed snake grew larger and larger until it covered the whole sky, opened its mouth, and swooped down toward Tai Fei.
“It’s useless. I’m much stronger than Soul Nine,” Tai Fei said coldly. His scarlet eyes were fixed on the cursed snake, and arrays seemed to spin in them. Suddenly, a plume of black smoke spread out of his body and kept gathering behind him, and soon, it turned into a huge black python that looked somewhat similar to the cursed snake. This is the imitative power of the Soul Demons!
‘Oh? He can also imitate Nethery’s cursed snake?’ Bu Fang’s eyes flashed.
Down below, many people were exclaiming. “No wonder His Majesty said that these are terrible creatures. Their abilities are truly creepy!”
Rumble!
The two huge serpents collided in midair, each representing ultimate power as they pounded each other. Scary rumbling sounds rang continuously, while the whole sky was shaking violently. At this moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent as they watched the fierce battle!
Bu Fang landed on the ground and watched as Nethery fought. He thought that she should fight this battle herself. This was the first battle after she had awakened, and she really needed it.
Tai Fei’s eyes were full of madness. “The Cursed Goddess is mine! She will be my perfect vessel!”
In the distant sky, Lord Dog, holding the Heavengod’s bone, watched calmly. He did not make a move, and he was too lazy to do anything. Tai Fei posed no threat to Nethery now.
With a humming sound, he walked forward with graceful cat-like steps and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was at Bu Fang’s side.
That gave Bu Fang pause. He turned his head and glanced at Lord Dog, whose aura had grown stronger. Apparently, Lord Dog’s strength had improved significantly again.
The next moment, the void was torn apart, and a figure wrapped in a hazy fog emerged out of it. He was none other than the mysterious number one on the God King List.
When Bu Fang looked at this newcomer, he felt he was somewhat familiar, but the guy’s aura frightened even him.
“Let Nethery fight that fellow. We can touch the Heavengod’s treasure now…” said Lord Dog. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with excitement in his eyes. Apparently, there was something that excited him in that treasure.
The number one on the God King List, however, did not look too excited. “There are Heavengod’s seals outside the treasure, and they will not be so easy to break…” he said.
“Who are you?” Lord Dog gave this guy a sidelong glance.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is the trust that you and I have developed and the bond that we have shared… You can call me Lord Bird,” the guy said.
‘Lord Bird? The number one on the God King List actually gave himself such an odd name? He must be a weirdo…’ After thinking for a while, Bu Fang paid the strange guy no more mind. Eyes glowing brightly, he stared at the arrays around the Heavengod’s treasure.
“Let me handle this,” said Lord Dog. The next moment, he walked out with elegant cat-like steps, holding the Heavengod’s bone in one paw.
In the distance, Tai Fei and Nethery were fighting each other fiercely. Here, Bu Fang and Lord Dog were getting ready to breach into the Heavengod’s treasure.
The closer they got, the more they could sense a powerful aura hanging around the treasure. It was a destructive aura surrounded by all kinds of Laws.
Lord Dog was holding the Heavengod’s bone. The next moment, his body suddenly transformed from a chubby little dog to a colossal monster, and the Heavengod’s bone had merged with his paw. Three dog’s heads appeared next, their eyes glowing with blinding light. Then, he threw out a paw, smashing it down toward the seals.
“So violent?” The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. So this was the method of breaking the arrays Lord Dog mentioned? Breaking the arrays with force… might not work.
Lord Bird was somewhat speechless as well. Bu Fang could even feel his disgust through the fog.
Lord Dog, in his three-headed Earth Prison Dog form, was extremely huge, and his whole body was surrounded by burning Earth Prison Flames, which seemed to burn the void into nothing. In the blink of an eye, his paw fell and smashed the array, and energy exploded out of it in an instant.
Lord Dog’s paw had merged with the Heavengod’s bone, and it even showed a bit of natural power. Struck by it, the array immediately rumbled and seemed ready to be blown apart at any moment!
“So he’s trying to break the array with the Heavengod’s bone?” After thinking for a moment, Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. Then, he took a step forward and raised his Taotie Arm. The three supreme Laws of the Universe rotated over his head and soon gathered on his finger. His thumb began to glow, then he thrust it out and pressed it down toward the array!
In the distance, many people were taking deep breaths.
Bu Fang and Lord Dog were starting to break the array! Could they really break it? It was a Heavengod’s array, and it had squashed and killed many God Kings just now. Evidently, its power was no weaker than that of a Heavengod. In that case, was it good to break it with brute force?
Many people did not think they would succeed. After all, all seals came with great dangers, and they seemed to deal with this one casually. That might get them killed.
Meanwhile, the battle between Tai Fei and Nethery had become white-hot. It was a terrible fight with rumbling sounds that kept ringing out.
Suddenly, Tai Fei glanced over his shoulder, and when he saw Bu Fang and Lord Dog were breaking the array, his eyes burst into a fierce light. “Don’t think I will let you do that!” he growled. Then, with a wave of his hand, the last three bone spears on his back rose into the sky and shot toward Bu Fang, Lord Dog, and Lord Bird. He wanted to stop the three of them.
Lord Dog gave the approaching bone spear a sideways glance, opened his mouth, and barked. The deafening voice immediately knocked the spear flying away. He then threw out a paw, slapping it toward Tai Fei.
“I’ve left you alone, yet you dared provoke me?!” Terrible Earth Prison Flames swept out and burned ragingly as the paw moved across the sky. For a moment, the whole world seemed to be on the verge of being destroyed.
Tai Fei’s face fell in an instant. Without hesitation, he raised his scale-covered arms to block the paw.
Rumble!
The paw fell with a loud banging noise. Tai Fei felt a great force exploding in front of him, which filled him with despair. In the blink of an eye, all the insect scales on his arms shattered. He felt as though his body was crushed as black blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.
“This…” Tai Fei’s pupils constricted. “What kind of dog is this?!”
The next moment, Lord Dog’s paw descended, closed around Tai Fei’s body, and ruthlessly slammed him to the ground.
Boom!
The whole ancient Heavengod’s relic shook violently, and the ground cracked into a huge rift that stretched as far as the eye could see. Rumbling filled the air as Lord Dog repeatedly slammed Tai Fei to the ground.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Nethery stopped attacking and hovered in midair. The cursed snake wound around her with its forked tongue sticking out. She looked strangely at Tai Fei, who was being savaged by Lord Dog’s paw, and thought, ‘This guy has really underestimated Lord Dog… Does he think Lord Dog is just an ordinary dog?’
The power of Lord Dog’s paw, which had fused with the Heavengod’s bone, was unprecedentedly powerful. It looked like she would not be needed now.
Tai Fei flew tumbling away and smashed to the ground. He looked extremely miserable. All his insect scales were shattered, and his fleshly body was severely battered… Lying listlessly on the ground, he could not even move a finger. He was boiling with rage. He could not believe that he was beaten by a dog. However, he was filled with helplessness…
Lord Dog snorted with disdain. The next moment, he threw out his paw again, slapping Tai Fei, who seemed to have turned into meat paste, deeper into the ground…
Rumble!
The ground shook, and so did the hearts of those who witnessed this.
Just then, Bu Fang’s eyes lit up as he was breaking the ancient Heavengod’s seal. “The seal is…broken!” he said.
His words shocked the people in the relic who were attracted by Lord Dog’s brutal attack, and they all turned to look at him. Lord Dog also twitched his nose.
In that brief moment when everyone was distracted, a plume of black smoke squeezed out from under Lord Dog’s paw and fled crazily toward the distance. Of course, Lord Dog did not bother to pay attention to it at the moment.
Soul Thirteen’s heart filled with grievance. He was a Numbered Soul Demon, yet Lord Dog had smashed him back to his primary form with just a paw. It never occurred to him that a dog could be so… ferocious!
Rumbling filled the air as the ground began to shake violently. Bu Fang backed away quickly and landed in the distance, staring at the Heavengod’s treasure. There, the array slowly bloomed like a lotus flower, exposing the true Heavengod’s treasure!
