519: Kill the Lord of the Netherworld

"Good!" Qin Shilei readily agreed, then continued to busy himself with the Mountain and Rivers Map in his hands.

The Nether Lord's anger flared.

If not for the demon heart restraining most of his power, and a sliver of hope he still held for his subordinate, he would have long since eliminated Qin Shilei.

Just as he was about to divert a small portion of his power to tear his annoying subordinate to shreds, he found the sky above him darken, then brighten again.

Heaven Piercing Sword!

The phantom appeared in its strongest state, unleashing its most powerful attack.

A fierce sword shadow, carrying an invincible aura, slashed down towards the Nether Lord below.

"demon heart, let's call a temporary truce!"

The Nether Lord's expression changed drastically. He shouted at the demon heart while withdrawing some of his power, preparing to dodge to the side.

Although the demon heart wanted to seize the Nether Lord's body, this was merely instinct and lacked intelligence, so it did not respond to the Nether Lord's plea at all.

Furthermore, the two had been entangled for hundreds of years; it wasn't something that could be called off so easily.

Therefore, the Nether Lord not only failed to escape the demon heart's restraint but also couldn't evade the sword shadow's range.

He could only quickly set up several defensive measures above his head.

Several defensive spells were instantly shattered by the Heaven Piercing Sword.

Even the Nether Shield, on which the Nether Lord had placed great hopes, only lasted for 0.1 seconds before being split in two by the sword shadow.

"If I hadn't been restrained by the demon heart, if that damned foolish subordinate hadn't brought me here, what could a mere sword do to me?"

The Nether Lord felt incredibly stifled, and at the same time, he cursed the subordinate who had dragged him in here countless times in his heart.

No matter how he cursed, the immense sword shadow still struck his head.

At this moment, he could only hope that the innate talent of their Nether race would allow him to be immune to this sword shadow attack.

If Qin Shilei could hear the Nether Lord's thoughts, he would definitely say, "Nether Lord, you're overthinking it."

Heaven Piercing Sword is a sword art of extreme rigidity and Yang energy, naturally countering evil and Negative (yin) objects like demons.

Although the Nether Lord's talent could immunize him from most physical and elemental attacks, dreaming of immunity to this sword shadow was just that—a dream.

The fierce sword shadow sliced through the Nether Lord's illusory body, causing his face to twist in extreme agony without him uttering a sound.

This was because Divine Power Stiffening had already taken effect on him, rendering him unable to move for the next two seconds.

Although the Heaven Piercing Sword had sliced through him, Qin Shilei did not perish instantly.

However, the heavily injured Nether Lord was horrified to discover that the phantom once again raised its long sword, and a fierce sword shadow reappeared.

"Get me out of here, you idiot!"

The Nether Lord roared in his mind.

But then he noticed that his subordinate had suddenly transformed into a human.

Even the sluggish Nether Lord understood that he had been tricked by this human.

"I'll fight you all!"

The Nether Lord's thoughts shifted, and he made a decision.

He completely released his defenses, preparing to let the demon heart take control of his body.

Only then could he seize a sliver of hope for survival.

However, his idea was ultimately impossible to achieve.

This was because at this moment, the demon heart was also affected by Divine Power Stiffening and was unable to move.

Furthermore, the injuries caused by the Heaven Piercing Sword on it were not much less severe than those on the Nether Lord.

The second Heaven Piercing Sword struck again, and a sword mark several tens of centimeters deep reappeared on the demon heart.

"Let's see how many sword strikes you can endure!"

Just as Divine Power Stiffening was about to disappear, Qin Shilei also unleashed his own Heaven Piercing Sword.

The demon heart and the Nether Lord once again fell into a two-second state of stiffening.

The Nether Lord, until the moment of his death, could not understand why he couldn't see through Qin Shilei's disguise.

Nor could he comprehend how he, a powerful master-level peak expert, was annihilated by a mere Master Two-Star scumbag without even being able to retaliate.

A splendid treasure chest appeared beside the Nether Lord's corpse.

Seven-Colored Treasure Chest!

Qin Shilei's breathing quickened.

This was the highest-grade treasure chest he had ever seen.

However, it was not yet time to collect his spoils.

Although the demon heart had been split into several pieces, it was still beating, indicating that it hadn't completely lost its vitality.

At the same time, after the Nether Lord's death, the demon heart within him was also slowly beating. If there was a suitable host, the Nether Lord might even be able to revive again.

Qin Shilei was about to continue refining these two demon hearts when a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Could the Abyss Lord Thousand-Eyed Spider King be coming?

Qin Shilei put away the Nether Lord's spatial equipment and immediately prepared to activate his Thunder Escape technique, following the original path to leave this place.

He suddenly remembered that the fixed enchantment on the Golden Silk Inner Armor he was wearing was perfect for the current situation.

Golden Cicada Sheds its Shell!

After leaving the Blessed Land, Qin Shilei immediately activated the enchantment on the Golden Silk Inner Armor.

A faint spatial fluctuation emanated, and his figure instantly appeared over a thousand kilometers away from the cave he had just been in.

Thunder Escape!

Qin Shilei once again used his escape technique to move several hundred kilometers away from his original position.

Then he took out the Faceless Mask and immediately transformed into a worm, burrowing into the ground headfirst.

After drilling several kilometers underground, he re-entered his Blessed Land.

Not long after he disappeared, a powerful mental fluctuation swept over, then continued to spread in all directions.

This mental fluctuation was as vast as an abyss.

The pressure it emitted caused all demons within a thousand-kilometer radius to stiffen and become unable to move.

Perhaps suspecting that Qin Shilei had disguised himself as a Netherworld Ghost and continued to hide in the Nether Abyss.

All the ghosts in the entire Nether Abyss were instantly deprived of their souls by the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's thought, becoming mere corpses.

The Thousand-Eyed Spider King conducted several carpet searches within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius but still failed to find any trace of Qin Shilei.

"Damn human!"

In a fit of rage, the Thousand-Eyed Spider King once again annihilated all living beings within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius.

"You hateful fellow, don't let me catch you."

The Thousand-Eyed Spider King stayed near the Nether Abyss for ten days, constantly waiting for Qin Shilei to appear. Suspecting that the other party had completely left, he too transformed into a phantom and returned to his lair.

At this moment, Qin Shilei was in the Blessed Land, refining the Nether Lord's demon heart.

At the same time, he was also using the newly acquired blood soul jade to refine another demon heart.

After the demon heart was refined by the blood soul jade, drops of transparent liquid emitting a strange fragrance were extracted.

Through the system, he learned that this liquid, if consumed directly, could strengthen the body, greatly increasing its toughness, even to the point of being able to withstand top-grade swords and blades.

After repeatedly confirming that this liquid would not cause his body to be corrupted by demons, Qin Shilei confidently swallowed this precious spirit liquid.

Immediately, a warm current spread in his stomach, then quickly diffused throughout his entire body.

Qin Shilei felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, feeling his whole body filled with power.

Just one drop had doubled his physical quality.

Refining one drop of spirit liquid only consumed a few tenths of the demon heart's energy.

If he were to completely refine this demon heart, the resulting spirit liquid would probably allow his physical quality to have a qualitative breakthrough.
