"What's with all the fuss? Who allowed you to disturb the Heavens' peace and quiet?"

An apathetic voice sounded.

A figure slowly walked out of the General's Residence. He was dressed in white robes, with an expression as cold as ice.

He glared at the Nether God with a dissatisfied look in his eyes.

His aura did not appear that powerful.

However, that aura of his possessed a peculiar charm. Just by standing there, he instantly became the center of the universe.

He was simply too outstanding and unique because he was none other than the Heavenly Sword.

A Heavenly Sword that surpassed the heavens!

"So, he's the Heavenly Sword?"

Wu Mian looked at Chu Kuangren, and his gaze narrowed slightly. Then, a look of fear appeared on his face.

As an elite cultivator, Wu Mian could sense an inexplicable torrent of power concealed beneath that person's calm demeanor.

"He's indeed extraordinary."

Wu Mian looked at Chu Kuangren cautiously.

Meanwhile, the Nether God let out a great laugh upon seeing Chu Kuangren. "You've finally shown yourself, Heavenly Sword. I've been waiting so long for you!"

After that, he dashed past the Heavenly Shadow without another word and raised his hand to attack.

He unleashed a brutal surge of Daoist law energy!

His terrifying Daoist law surged forth like a raging ocean.

It instantly gushed out with the might to crush everything!

At the sight of the attack, Chu Kuangren raised his emotionless eyes and gently lifted his hand. That hand of his was as white as jade, possessing a smooth and delicate appearance.

Everyone else soon saw a ray of white light shoot out from that hand, followed by a rapid surge of sword qi that contained Daoist law energy.

The Nether God's Daoist law energy was completely destroyed in the next instant, and he was sent flying backward. When he landed, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

A single move was all it took to decide the outcome!

The Nether God looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief.

"Your strength… Perfected Dao?"

"No, that's not right. Your Dao is close to reaching the Perfected Embodier Realm!"

Having a Perfected Dao was the hallmark of being a Multi-Embodier.

Having cultivated thousands of years inside the Space-time Dimension, and with the cultivation experience from his previous life, the Nether God only managed to progress his Dao to the Peak Embodier Realm.

'How could he have achieved a Perfected Dao?'

The Nether God's expression shifted as he was confused.

Then, his figure disappeared in a flash, appearing above Chu Kuangren. He made a mysterious hand sign and caused the Daoist law inside him to rumble.

Countless ominous runes instantly flew out.

They were sent toward Chu Kuangren as if they were huge planets.

However, Chu Kuangren did not seem impressed. He simply raised the delicate white jade-like palm of his and waved casually.

His sword qi shot across the air with a whoosh.

The runes were all shattered one after another, and the Nether God was sent flying another time.

However, that was not the end of it.

Chu Kuangren made a sword hand sign to gather sword qi at his fingertips, and his Emperor Overlord Qi turned into a domineering sword shadow.

Only then did he unleash a proper sword technique.

Hum!

The void trembled.

Amidst the violent barrage of sword qi, a huge gash was brutally torn open in the Nether God's body. Blood began to flow profusely from it as he knelt on the ground on one leg.

He was crushed!

It was a soul-crushing defeat!

The other Nine Kings who were watching in the sky remained silent.

Having been in closed-door meditation for so many years, they thought they could close the power gap between them and Chu Kuangren. However, it seemed like…

The gap between them was greater now!

Back then, they could still see his figure ahead of them.

Yet now, that figure was so far ahead of them that they could not see him clearly.

Even Luo Xue, Long Shuijing, and the others who were close subordinates of Chu Kuangren were amazed and found it unbelievable.

They expected the Nether God to be a match for the Heavenly Sword.

However, none of them expected the difference in power between them to be so great.

Wu Mian's eyes widened in fear as he watched everything unfold. At that moment, he finally understood that there would always be bigger fish out in the sea.

So what if he was the Primordial's disciple?

Before the likes of the Heavenly Sword, what was he?

"Something's not right."

"As one of the most ancient beings out there, even if the Nether God hasn't regained his full power, he shouldn't be defeated so miserably, right?"

"That's right. Has the Nether God always been this weak?"

That thought crossed everyone's minds.

At that moment, the Nether God, who was blasted backward, slowly stood up and suddenly laughed out loud. "I knew it. I might be inferior to you in terms of cultivation level, but do you really think that's all I have?"

"To defeat you, what I rely on the most is not my cultivation level!"

While speaking, ominous energy gradually spread everywhere from the Nether God's body. Soon, everyone could feel their heads buzzing and trembling.

Their minds were trembling, their souls were shuddering…

"That's soul energy!"

"As expected, the Nether God still has another trick up his sleeve!"

"What a powerful soul energy. This power far surpasses his cultivation level. I'm afraid it's at the Requiescence Soul Realm now."

"His power is second only to the Chaos Soul Realm."

Chu Kuangren grinned playfully.

In the face of the continuous surge of soul energy coming from the Nether God like crashing waves, he said lightly, "Come, the Heavens shall enjoy your meaningless struggle!"

"Abyss of Darkness!"

Boom!

In that instant, the soul energy filled Chu Kuangren's surroundings, dragging him into a world of darkness.

Countless ominous whispers echoed in the darkness. If an ordinary cultivator were to be dragged in there, they would have lost their minds instantly.

However, it was nothing to Chu Kuangren.

He looked around him. "Not bad. It's certainly more powerful than before. It looks like you're recovering well."

"Chu Kuangren, I may have lost to you inside the Abyss of Darkness the last time, but this time, I will erase my shame by killing you here!"

As soon as he said that, many terrifying voices rang out in the pitch-black darkness before countless ferocious ghouls and ghosts charged out toward him.

Chu Kuangren released a burst of soul energy from his sword hand sign, unleashing it as a sword attack.

However, it was useless.

The ghouls instantly devoured the sword shadow!

"What delightful soul energy."

The Nether God's voice appeared from the darkness again.

Just consuming a portion of Chu Kuangren's soul energy made him feel delighted.

He was very excited.

If he could completely consume Chu Kuangren's soul, he would certainly return to his prime and might even surpass it!

At that thought, the Nether God commanded more ghouls to attack Chu Kuangren. There were so many of them that their numbers were seemingly endless.

"Blood Moon!"

At that moment, Chu Kuangren let out a cold grunt instead.

Then, his soul energy erupted, and a mysterious Blood Moon manifested within the infinite darkness.

The moonlight shone in every direction.

As a result, the countless ghouls could not get close to him at all.

"A soul cultivation technique?"

The Nether God was a little shocked.

He did not expect Chu Kuangren to know such soul cultivation techniques.

'This is only a technique to protect one's soul. Does he think he can hide behind his defenses forever?'

'There's no rush.'

"Crimson Sun!"

Chu Kuangren let out another soft grunt.

An inexplicably scorching soul fire suddenly erupted from his body, gathering above him and turning into a huge sun!

The sun shone brightly, radiating light that caused the ghouls to howl in pain. Under the rays of the sun, the ghouls collapsed one after another like melting snow!

With a moon and sun above Chu Kuangren's soul, he was now like a supreme peerless god that traversed through the darkness, warding off all forms of evil!

"I shall humbly accept your soul energy."

Chu Kuangren's gaze was calm and sharp as if piercing through the endless darkness, landing directly on the Nether God's body.

The Nether God instantly felt an unprecedented fear welling up inside him.
