29: Chapter 29

But no matter what, they couldn't be allowed to succeed.

He was just about to strike and sever those chains.

But Luo Yu suddenly swung her massive body, blocking Hades directly and stopping him dead in his tracks.

Many onlookers began to murmur in doubt.

Could they really deal with the Dragon Eater Samael with just these few spatial chains?

While Luo Yu held Hades back, three chains had already wrapped around Samael's body.

The Dragon Eater, who had been howling madly just a moment ago, suddenly began to blur.

It looked as if he was about to vanish from this world.

Someone finally realized. "Wait... those aren't ordinary spatial chains!"

"Those are spatial coordinates carved onto the Dragon Eater by the gods back then—they're actually keys!"

"Activating the coordinates triggers the seal in his soul, temporarily locking him in a pocket dimension."

"The last safeguard the gods left on the Dragon Eater was precisely to prevent someone from recklessly undoing the seal."

"Looking at it now, the gods' worries back then were indeed not unfounded."

"Those chains were just a distraction. Hades, God of the Underworld, is done for this time."

"The Four Great Emperors clearly came prepared. Hades is in real trouble this time..."

Hades blasted Luo Yu back with a punch, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

He stared intently at the slowly vanishing figure—Dragon Eater Samael, who was being dragged bit by bit into a pocket dimension to be sealed. "You bastards, you really have infiltrated the Underworld more than once."

He grit his teeth and spoke, "Samael had a spatial key hidden on him. You calculated that I would release him and deliberately used this to seal him away."

He had miscalculated.

Hades's mind quickly raced through the details of when the gods originally sealed Samael.

Back then, just in case, the gods had indeed left a semi-public key on Samael.

Anyone skilled in manipulating spatial coordinates could easily replicate it to temporarily lock Samael away.

He remembered that the Thunder Emperor was an expert in this field.

Damn it.

Hades's cold gaze swept over the four people surrounding him once more. "Do you really think you can take me down like this?"

Luo Yu replied coldly, "Of course it's not that simple. Now that Samael is temporarily dealt with, it's time to show our real cards."

She paused. "Do it. Go all out and send the God of the Underworld on his way."

The moment her voice fell, Cao Cao was the first to move. "We should have done this sooner. Why waste time—Balance Breaker: True Longinus: Polar Night!"

He raised the True Longinus, calling out not his previous sub-species Balance Breaker name, but its true name.

Holy brilliance erupted instantly, enveloping the entire Underworld, illuminating even the deepest darkness of this realm.

Cao Cao's aura surged violently, breaking straight into the quasi-Super Devil level.

This was the true power of the True Longinus's Balance Breaker.

Next was Vali. "Juggernaut Drive!"

His entire body suddenly expanded, and six pairs of devil wings grew from his back—the hallmark of a descendant of the original Devil King Lucifer.

His strength similarly soared to the quasi-Super Devil level.

Seeing this, Dulio stopped holding back as well. "You're all monsters. I'm not hiding either."

Five pairs of angel wings unfurled behind his back, and a holy halo appeared above his head.

The boost wasn't as exaggerated as Cao Cao's or Vali's, but it still more than doubled his baseline.

Finally, it was Luo Yu. "Sacred Juggernaut Drive!"

Her body, which was already over fifty chang tall, expanded once more, approaching a hundred chang in the blink of an eye.

The entire dragon turned a holy white, even more dazzling than the previous Holy Light Dragon, with her scales shimmering with an even purer sacred light.

A massive wave of holy power swept through the entire Underworld like a tide.

The nine massive Crimson Dragon Holy Swords melted together directly, transforming into a divine mirror like a bright sun hanging in midair, its light shining upon the Three Realms.

Hades's expression became extremely ugly.

He looked up at the massive figure that was almost bursting the Underworld—that fellow's strength was no longer at the quasi-Super Devil level.

It was that of a true Super Devil.

One peak Super Devil King Class, two quasi-Super Devils, and one genuine Super Devil.

Hades knew in his heart that if he continued to fight them head-on, he might really fall here today.

Above the Underworld, there was a dead silence.

The sudden explosion of power from the Four Great Emperors completely dumbfounded all the onlookers.

Peak Super Devil King Class, quasi-Super Devil, Super Devil...

This was the true level of the Four Great Emperors. Any single one of them was no weaker than the top combat forces of the premier pantheons in the Three Realms.

You should know that the Four Seraphim of Heaven could only exert a peak combat power equivalent to the Super Devil King Class (like the Thunder Emperor) when in the Three Realms; only by returning to Heaven could they grow as strong as a quasi-Super Devil.

The Devil Kings of the Underworld, Serafall Leviathan and Falbium Asmodeus, were in a similar situation.

And the Thunder Emperor was actually the weakest among the Four Great Emperors.

What was even more shocking was that their identities had also been exposed.

The devils and various house heads of the Underworld stared with complex expressions at Vali, who was locked in a fierce, inseparable battle with Hades.

The White Dragon Emperor of this generation was actually a descendant of the original Devil King Lucifer!

On the other side, the powerhouses of the Church also stared wide-eyed at Dulio.

The darling of the Church, a hybrid of human and angel, actually possessed power at the level of a ten-winged angel.

They had no idea the Church harbored such a child of light, let alone that he held the second Sacred Gear, "Zenith Tempest."

As Cao Cao continued to fight, many people began to realize as well.

His iron-fisted, hardline martial arts style was far too similar to that of the Eastern War God, Indra.

There was definitely a connection between the two.

The most terrifying one was the Red Dragon Emperor.

A dragon species, one that was of an even higher class than the Five Great Dragon Kings.

Just the hundred-chang body hovering above the Underworld, and the holy power it radiated, was almost enough to completely purge all the restless souls in the Underworld.

Such power was fully on par with the Heavenly Dragons. "These guys are the real monsters!"

Sairaorg Bael smashed a high-class Grim Reaper with a punch and looked up with a bitter smile at the figures constantly clashing in the sky.

He spoke the thoughts that were on everyone's minds.

Monsters, freaks.

With completely off-the-charts monsters like the Four Great Emperors emerging from the younger generation, whether it was the new generation of the Underworld or the young powerhouses of other factions, they were all ruthlessly trampled underfoot.

These people were like massive mountains pressing down on them, mountains they would never be able to scale in their entire lives.

It was their tragedy, and also a goal they were destined never to catch up to or surpass.

The rumbling explosions grew even more violent than before.

The entire Underworld was trembling, and huge cracks split open across the ground.

Countless low-class magic beasts and devils scurried about in terror, completely clueless as to what was happening.

The sky of the Underworld was dyed in a chaotic mess of colors—patches of red, purple, and blue—all exploded out from the collision of the Four Great Emperors' and the God of the Underworld's powers.

Unfortunately, the capabilities of Hades, God of the Underworld, were completely suppressed by the Four Great Emperors.

To put it bluntly, it was a one-sided beatdown.

Before, the Four Great Emperors had still been wary of the Dragon Eater Samael, not daring to fight with free rein, and could only rely on tacit cooperation to cover for each other with their Sacred Gears.

Now?

This big shot, famous throughout the Three Realms and ranked in the top ten in the world, was beaten so badly he didn't even have a chance to strike back.

His death energy?

When it met Cao Cao's True Longinus and Luo Yu's holy power, it was like snow meeting boiling water, completely countered. "Divide!"

Vali pulled this trick again; with a flash of the White Dragon Emperor's light wings, Hades's attack was directly cut in half.

Dulio's attack smashed down immediately after.

Countless bolts of lightning transformed into a long spear, with the aura of destruction rolling over it, shattering space as it thrust straight toward Hades. "Death energy, get over here!"

Hades roared, and boundless death energy slapped out like a tsunami, swallowing Dulio's attack in just a few moments.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a duel; it was a gang beatdown.

How could Cao Cao's True Longinus miss such a golden opportunity?

With a whoosh, the holy spear suddenly elongated.

Hades had no time to dodge at all before he was pinned ruthlessly to the ground by this spear, feeling incredibly frustrated. "God of the Underworld, fall for me!"

The True Longinus suddenly erupted with blinding holy light, so bright that even the watching devil house heads couldn't keep their eyes open.

It looked as if they really intended to kill Hades right here. "Fuck the God of Luck!"

Pinned to the ground, Hades howled in rage.

The reason he suffered such a massive setback today was entirely because of these damn Sacred Gears left behind by the God of Luck.

Bang!

Holy power bombarded downward continuously, and Hades's body instantly exploded into fragments.

Rubble flew everywhere, and death energy permeated the entire area, shrouding the whole Underworld. "Is... is Hades, God of the Underworld, dead just like that?"

Someone muttered in disbelief.

Discerning people didn't even bother to respond to such words.

If Hades died that easily, would he still be worthy of being called a top-ten powerhouse in the world?

Was the ranking of the world's strongest a joke?

That was a title won through genuine ability.

Besides, couldn't they see that the Four Great Emperors were still in their combat stances, with absolutely no intention of stopping?

It was obvious that Hades, God of the Underworld, would not die so easily.

In a place like the Underworld, trying to completely kill the God of the Underworld was about as difficult as slaying a Heavenly Dragon that possessed its original dragon soul.

Luo Yu merely moved her body slightly, and that terrifyingly extreme power spilled out, causing the entire sky to shake. To be precise, the space of the Underworld simply could not withstand the existence of her body.

The Underworld had been rooted here since ancient times, and as the God of the Underworld, Hades had naturally always guarded this place.

Over the long years, the death energy accumulated within the Underworld had become unimaginably dense, serving as Hades's endless source of power.

At this moment, a massive amount of death energy welled up from the depths of the Underworld, frantically pouring into Hades's body.

He revived completely unscathed.

Not only did all the scars on his skeletal frame vanish, but his state and power also restored to their peak. "I am one with the entire Underworld. Only by destroying the Underworld can you make me fall completely. Otherwise—"

Before Hades could finish his grating words, Luo Yu blasted a breath of holy dragon fire right at him.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted.

The entire Underworld shook violently several times in a row.

Countless Dark Iron Mountains of the Underworld were instantly leveled, and even the temple that had already turned to ruins was completely vaporized.

Sairaorg Bael watched the area swallowed by the dragon breath with a face full of terror.

Fortunately, he had fled quickly. If he had been caught in the aftermath of the Red Dragon Emperor's attack, even with the protection of the Regulus Nemea, he would have lost a layer of skin even if he didn't die.

He wasn't the only one who was alarmed.

The little loli Le Fay was filled with shock. This was the first time she had seen such a monster in the younger generation besides her brother and Vali. "Jie jie... Red Dragon Emperor, I told you, everything you do is in vain."

Amidst the holy dragon breath, Hades still let out his grating, mocking laughter.
