85: Your Majesty perished, the realm is at peace, and you return laden with spoils.

The Nether Emperor's projection retreated, the Court disintegrated, and the morale of the Nether Domain army completely collapsed. They scattered like headless flies, unable to organize any effective resistance.

And at this moment, the Skeleton Lord met his doom.

Facing Nie Li's ultimate killing strikeua sword condensed from his lifelong Cultivation, as swift as thunder and cold as frostthe Skeleton Lord, whose mind had been shattered by the Nether Emperor's defeat and Yun Feng's might, couldn't even organize a decent resistance.

"No! His Majesty, the Nether Emperor, save..."

Before his plea for mercy was finished, the brilliant sword light had already swept past his core, which was condensed from dense Death Qi!

*Swoosh!*

Like the sound of tearing silk, the Skeleton Lord's massive black silhouette suddenly froze. The crimson soul flame in its center instantly dimmed and scattered, like a punctured balloon! He let out one last silent, venomous shriek, and the entire black silhouette began to disintegrate inch by inch, like a weathered sand sculpture, finally being utterly annihilated, leaving behind only a wisp of the purest Origin of Death Law and several strange, faintly glowing bone Materials.

The Dominator of the Nether Domain, the Skeleton Lord, has fallen!

With their commander executed, the already collapsing Nether Domain army suffered even greater losses. The remaining Nether Generals and undead either fled frantically to the most remote corners of the Nether Domain or were reduced to ashes under the pursuit of the Cloud Court expeditionary forces.

The Bone Throne Court, once majestic and terrifying, symbolizing death and finality, had now completely transformed into a massive ruin floating in the Void Realm. The billions of skulls that formed the palace lost their energy support, becoming gray and brittle, constantly turning into dust amid the residual energy waves.

"Clear out the remaining enemies, collect the spoils! Bring back all Materials containing the Law of Death, the Origin, and the unique mineral resources of the Nether Domain!" Nie Li stood, sheathing his sword, his voice echoing across the battlefield with the composure and authority of a great victory.

"Yes, sir!"

The expeditionary soldiers roared their assent and began executing the orders systematically. divine arks shuttled between the ruins, and specialized collection teams, guarded by powerful experts, began harvesting the "legacy" of this death kingdom. The pure Origin of Death Law was a supreme treasure for Cultivators who Cultivate related Laws, the strange bones were top-tier Artifact Refining Materials, and several rare "Nether Soul Crystal" mineral veins were even discovered deep within the Nether Domain!

This was an unprecedented harvest! The total amount of resources even exceeded the accumulated wealth of the entire Demon Spirit Continent! The immense risks and consumption of the expedition were repaid a thousandfold at this moment!

Yun Hao and Yun Qiao came to Nie Li's side, both filled with emotion as they looked at the massive ruins currently being "cleaned up."

"I never thought we would actually do it," Yun Hao said, wiping the residual Nether Qi from his spear, his tone mixing excitement with a hint of exhaustion.

"It's all thanks to Big Brother for holding back the Nether Emperor," Yun Qiao said, looking in the direction of the Demon Spirit Continent, her eyes full of reverence.

Nie Li nodded, his gaze profound: "Although we won this battle, the Nether Emperor has not been destroyed, and his true body must be even stronger. Moreover, through this campaign, the name of my Cloud Court has truly been established in this Void Realm Star Domain. Good fortune often hides misfortune; future challenges will only increase."

He saw far ahead and was not blinded by the immediate victory.

Several days later, the entire core region of the Nether Domain was completely cleared, and all valuable resources were thoroughly plundered. The expeditionary fleet regrouped. Although some divine arks were damaged and there were casualties, their overall Aura was magnificent, and every soldier's face showed the pride of victory and the joy of a successful return.

"Return home!"

Following Nie Li's command, three hundred divine arks turned direction, trailing brilliant plumes of exhaust, and sailed away from this desolate and ruined Star Domain, embarking on the journey back to the Demon Spirit Continent.

This time, they brought back not only massive resources but also the dawn of a new era, and a formidable reputation that echoed throughout the surrounding Void Realmthe Cloud Court!

It was foreseeable what kind of fervor the entire Demon Spirit Continent would experience the moment the expeditionary forces returned, and to what terrifying extent the foundation and power of the Cloud Court would be elevated!
