Among the returning Deities, Patriarch Yellow Spring was ranked in the top five in terms of strength. Coupled with his notorious reputation, he was feared by the other Deities. Even the hot-tempered Divine Lord Tempest had to take a detour when he encountered Divine Lord Yellow Spring. He had to address him as elder brother and senior.
Many Deities were afraid of him.
This was especially true for his Hell Reincarnation Yellow Springs Godpower. If he was attacked, it wouldn't just be a matter of a few days. The endless corrosive and dark energy could last for years, centuries, or even millennia before it would dissipate.
For thousands of years, Patriarch Yellow Spring had been a nightmare for many.
They had full confidence in Patriarch Yellow Spring, but they had never expected Divine Lord Yellow Spring to be completely suppressed by Long Chen since the start of the battle. Whether it was the terrifying Whirlpool of Death or the Water of Forgetfulness, Long Chen had broken through them easily.
Massacre Dragon Seal, Time Roaming Dragon, Eternal Ksana, Space-time Reversal.
Not only had he broken through the Whirlpool of Death, but the Water of the River of Forgetfulness had even rushed to Divine Lord Yellow Spring's head. Although he wasn't injured, he was in a sorry state.
For a moment, the Deities were extremely shocked. Even the Monster Deities who were paying attention did not react. They watched the scene in a daze.
Long Chen's performance after becoming a Deity was like a heavy hammer hitting their heads.
"How can this be? How can he suddenly know so many nomological powers?"
The Deities murmured. The way they looked at Long Chen had changed. This young man had challenged their imagination time and time again. When he had just returned to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, no one took him seriously except for the Godly King of Hell. But now it was different …
His performance in the Curse World, his ambiguous relationship with Di Yao, defeating Stardust, and now he had truly become a Deity …
He had become an incredible person in the eyes of the Deities. From now on, no one would dare to look down on him anymore.
Of course, the battle continued under the shocked gazes of the Deities.
Two of them felt it the most. One of them was the Godly King of Hell. He and the Radiant Godly King could see it the clearest. They were also the ones who had existed for the longest time among the Deities. They had seen countless geniuses. They had already reached the peak of geniuses by being able to grow to their current level.
But they still had deep doubts about Long Chen.
"How did he do it …"
Of course, the God King of Hell wouldn't forget that he was the one who killed Lingxi. Even though in his opinion, Long Chen didn't know about it right now, there was always this worry in his heart. If Long Chen and Di Yao got together, his strength and status would be above him in the future. Would he become enemies with him because of this?
As long as Di Yao didn't want Long Chen to know the truth, he should be fine. Of course, this was still a long way off. Deities, Godly Monarchs, and Godly Monarchs were all on different levels. A generation of Godly Monarchs was a legendary figure. Many of the mid-tier worlds didn't even have a Godly Monarch.
As for Di Yao, there were many secrets hidden within her eyes. They were extremely complicated and difficult to guess.
Of course, Long Chen was concerned about the battle between him and Divine Lord Netherworld.
Ye Futian had casually attacked a few times and had already driven Divine Lord Netherworld crazy. The old man had never expected that he would lose. He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. Just now, he had boasted. Now that he was being suppressed, he had gone crazy. He displayed his most insidious nature. It was no longer a spar, but a desperate counterattack.
As a figure at the level of Old Ancestor level of Long Chen, he had to win back his reputation.
Therefore, when the water of the River of Forgetfulness was broken by Long Chen using the power of time, he was furious. His face turned red as he roared and withdrew the water of the River of Forgetfulness. Now, Divine Lord Netherworld was going all out. This was the attack that he was most confident in.
"Endless Sea of Bitterness."
The moment this rule appeared, all the deities retreated. Those who were familiar with Divine Lord Netherworld knew that this was his highest rule. It was close to a Godly Monarch's rule and was his ultimate killer move. Even many deities of the same level had suffered greatly under his Endless Sea of Bitterness.
His rule power was constantly increasing.
From the water whirlpool to the River of Forgetfulness, and now the Sea of Bitterness. Since it was an ocean, its scope and vastness were naturally indescribable. For example, at this moment, under the control of Divine Lord Netherworld, it seemed like the entire sky of the Eternal Sacred Territory was shrouded in an endless grayish-yellow ocean.
The Sea of Bitterness had descended.
The endless ocean suddenly appeared. The surroundings of Long Chen were already covered by the endless ocean water. The surrounding deities had disappeared, and even the starry sky had disappeared. He was the only person in the huge world. Of course, there was also the Endless Sea of Bitterness.
The ocean water was the same as the water of the Yellow Springs. It had a corrosive and decaying nature. Even if one's body was immersed in the Endless Sea of Bitterness, it wouldn't take long before they were completely corroded and turned into bones. This was the power of the Sea of Bitterness, and also the reason why Divine Lord Netherworld was so terrifying.
If he were to descend the Sea of Bitterness on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, at least billions of people would instantly lose their bodies and souls. They would then be immersed in the Sea of Bitterness forever, enduring endless pain.
Under the influence of Divine Lord Netherworld, there were actually quite a number of such people.
In the Sea of Bitterness, there were countless resentful spirits that were tortured to death by Divine Lord Netherworld. Of course, to them, these were just lowly creatures that weren't worth mentioning.
The Sea of Bitterness was boundless. Long Chen was immersed in the depths and there was no way out. No matter how he moved forward, he would forever be trapped in this world.
In the outside world, the deities were probably holding their breath.
What they saw was that Divine Lord Netherworld had finally used the Sea of Bitterness' boundless nomological power to trap Long Chen. As long as he didn't take the initiative, it was very likely that Long Chen would never be able to get out.
Because of this, Divine Lord Netherworld finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally regained his dignity and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The power of the Sea of Bitterness was indeed boundless.
Because of this, the deities' expressions changed drastically. They looked at Divine Lord Netherworld with fear and respect. Seeing the power of the Sea of Bitterness, the deities were even more afraid of Divine Lord Netherworld.
It seemed like they hadn't seen Divine Lord Netherworld fight for many years.
"When you admit defeat, I'll let you out."
Divine Lord Netherworld smiled proudly. Of course, he didn't dare to kill Long Chen. They were in public and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. To him, he felt that Long Chen was too ruthless, so he had to teach him a lesson.
Moreover, Ye Futian had embarrassed him just now.
Divine Lord Netherworld's voice reverberated in the Sea of Bitterness.
The Sea of Bitterness was a kind of nomological power. Its seawater would never disappear unless Long Chen changed the nomological power. It had to be said that Divine Lord Netherworld's nomological power that was close to the level of a God King was indeed fierce.
However, was he really afraid?
In a blur, the deities seemed to see that Long Chen had changed again. He seemed to have developed 15 heads and turned into a huge divine dragon with 15 heads. They were colorful and extremely gorgeous. This divine dragon had an incomparably majestic life force and was simply the nemesis of the Sea of Bitterness, a land of death.
That was the dragon of life and creation, the Tai Chi Spiritual Dragon.
Of course, the deities didn't know that. They couldn't even see it clearly.
"Fourteen Spiritual Formations."
Long Chen was decisive and clear-cut.
Once the Fourteen Spiritual Formations appeared, 14 array diagrams surrounded Long Chen in the Sea of Bitterness. After the 14 array diagrams formed nomological power, they instantly began to transform and plunder. This was the nomological power of the Tai Chi Spiritual Dragon. He took life as his leader, while the other 14 nomological powers were the nomological powers that created the world. The Fourteen Spiritual Formations could transform the power of any array diagram.
The boundless encirclement of the Sea of Bitterness was actually a nomological array diagram.
Transform.
The nomological power of the Netherworld was transformed. It wasn't the Netherworld, but the power of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, trees, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning that belonged to Long Chen. Under the shocked gazes of the deities, they saw Long Chen break free from the Sea of Bitterness and even transform the power of the Sea of Bitterness into his own nomological power.
"Old ghost, I'll return it to you."
Long Chen broke free from the Sea of Bitterness and sneered. The nomological power transformed by the Fourteen Spiritual Formations suddenly erupted. Now, it wasn't Long Chen who was besieged, but the Yellow Springs Divine Lord.
The Yellow Springs Divine Lord was feeling smug. He couldn't have imagined that the Sea of Bitterness that he was most proud of, which he had defeated even those at his level, would actually be broken by Long Chen using such a strange method.
This was an unimaginable miracle.
At least, he couldn't accept it at all. At that moment, he was about to go crazy, and his tears couldn't help but flow out. What was going on?
He had merely passed the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons. Was there a need for such a huge change?
In front of him, the deities felt like a bunch of stupid things. They were completely mediocre. How could the dignified deities lose to a native of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent?
"Impossible."
The Yellow Springs Divine Lord roared. He was almost crazy. He had actually used the destination-level artifact that he had hidden for a long time. This was his most important life-saving item. Now, he could only use it to block the attacks.
"Yellow Springs Heavenly Diagram, Creation Stage."
This was the only Creation Stage treasure that the Yellow Springs Divine Lord had. This was something that Di Jun had personally bestowed upon him. He had guarded it for many years and had never been willing to take it out to use. Normally, he would not take it out unless it was a battle of life and death.
And now, he was only using it to block Long Chen's Fourteen Spiritual Formations.
Boom.
The Yellow Springs Heavenly Diagram opened up. It was a painting that was extremely huge. There was a surging yellow spring in the painting, as if it was a real world.
Just as the scene unfolded, the Fourteen Spiritual Formations smashed onto it. Immediately, the Yellow Springs Divine Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, and was defeated thirty thousand meters along with the Yellow Springs Heavenly Diagram. The Yellow Springs Heavenly Diagram crashed onto his body, and the light dimmed.
Whoosh.
This was not the end.
At this moment, Long Chen had already transformed into his human form. In the blink of an eye, he had traversed thirty thousand meters. He took out his peerless dragon salyer and placed it on the Yellow Springs Divine Lord's neck, saying: "Old dog, you've lost."
