After the battle between Mu Chen and Lin Ming, the Bones Mountain Range was in a complete mess with huge intertwining cracks appearing on the mountain range. Numerous mountains had collapsed from the intense battle. All of this was proof of how intense the previous confrontation was.
Fortunately, this earth-shattering battle had finally come to an end.
However, everyone knew that when the curtains fell on the battle, today's matter would begin to turn bitter. And the source of this bitterness was naturally the frightening wager. "
400,000 Fallen Origin Pellets!
It was a terrifying amount that even peak forces couldn't bear.
Mu Chen and the rest had been fighting bitterly for the past few months. Right now, all the Fallen Origin Pellets in the Great Heaven Domain could only be equal to that amount. If they were to hand it over, then they could forget about opening the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. So it would be wiser for them to return home.
Since they were like that, then the Netherworld Palace, which was also a peak force, would naturally be the same.
Therefore, when the experts of the Netherworld Palace looked at Lin Ming, who was captured by Mu Chen, and the other forces that had their eyes on them, their faces couldn't help turning a little pale.
They initially intended to dig a hole in the Great Heaven Domain and bury themselves in it. But who could have expected that this hole would bury them as well? And the Great Heaven Domain, which was initially in the hole, had stepped on their heads to get out of the hole?
"It's all that brat's fault!" The experts of the Netherworld Palace clenched their teeth as they looked at Mu Chen.
The situation today was practically caused by Mu Chen alone. If it wasn't for him, the Great Heaven Domain would be the one in a dilemma.
But no matter how much they hated Mu Chen at this moment, their Netherworld Palace had to fill up this hole since it had already come to this.
"The Netherworld Palace is a peak force in the Northern Region. I believe that the Netherworld Palace won't be so shameless to go back on their word, right?" While the gazes of the Heavenly Evil King and the rest changed, Mu Chen lightly smiled.
Mu Chen said.
"Shut up!"
The Heavenly Evil King glared at Mu Chen.
He was furious. How could he not know that Mu Chen was trying to destroy the Netherworld Palace?
"Heavenly Evil King, you're, after all, a famous expert in the Northern Region. Even if you've lost, you should show some magnanimity.
Of course.
If you really want to go back on your word.
Then my Great Heaven Domain can only accompany you to the end today, "the Asura King said coldly.
The Heavenly Evil King gritted his teeth with a struggle in his eyes.
The experts of the Netherworld Palace did not dare to utter a single word. For a brief moment, every single force in this region had their eyes fixed on the direction of the Netherworld Palace. Clearly, they wanted to see how they would deal with this mess.
The silence lasted for a long time before the Heavenly Evil King let out a sigh. Seeing his expression, everyone's hearts jolted. Judging from the looks of it, the Netherworld Palace was really going to hand over the Fallen Origin Pellets?
But just when everyone's gazes were fixed on the Heavenly Evil King and he was about to speak, an aged snort resounded like a clap of thunder that resounded throughout this region.
Under that cold snort, even the heavens and earth trembled.
Everyone's faces abruptly changed at this moment. They could sense an extremely powerful pressure penetrating through space and enveloping this entire region.
Just when everyone's faces drastically changed, the space above the Netherworld Palace suddenly distorted and an aged silhouette slowly walked out.
That slightly hunched figure was a black-robed old man with greyish-white hair. His seemingly turbid eyes flickered with a brilliance that could penetrate through space. He held onto the skeleton staff as he stood in the sky. The pressure that caused all the experts in this region to have a drastic change in their expressions came from his body.
"Netherworld Elder?!"
When the Heavenly Evil King and the other experts of the Netherworld Palace saw that black-robed old man, their faces were instantly filled with joy.
"It's actually one of the three Elders of the Netherworld Palace, the Netherflame Oldman!"
The faces of the Asura King and the rest had turned ugly at this moment. They never expected that the Netherflame Oldman would suddenly appear at this moment.
"Netherflame Oldman?"
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he knitted his brows. The three Elders of the Netherworld Palace were existences that were on the same level as the Three Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain. But shouldn't those pinnacle powerhouses be in the depths of the Fallen Battlefield?
Why did one of them suddenly appear?!
"Be careful, the Netherflame Oldman is an Eighth Grade Sovereign expert with unparalleled strength."
The Asura King's body tensed up at this moment as he looked at the black-robed old man with caution. At the same time, he took a step forth and protected Mu Chen behind him, in case the Netherflame Oldman suddenly made a move against Mu Chen.
"Eighth Grade Sovereign?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled. An expert of that level could be considered as the highest amongst the Sovereign Realm. With his current strength, even if he added the power of Battle Will, it was still impossible for him to confront such an expert.
The other forces in this region also looked at the Netherflame Oldman with shock in their eyes. Generally speaking, an expert of that level shouldn't appear at this moment. So why did one of them appear in the Netherworld Palace?
"We pay our respects to Netherflame Oldman!"
The experts of the Netherworld Palace bowed in unison.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless fools. If you guys hand the Fallen Origin Pellets over, I'll see how you guys will explain to the Palace Master!"
The Netherflame Oldman eerily cast a glance at the Heavenly Evil King and the rest. The pressure in his eyes had caused the bodies of the Heavenly Evil King and the rest to tremble.
"Old Netherflame, this matter …" The Heavenly Evil King bitterly smiled. They were initially confident in Lin Ming, but who could have expected that an even more ferocious Mu Chen would appear in the Great Heaven Domain? Even Lin Ming wasn't his opponent, which led to the reversal of this battle.
"Leave this matter to this old man."
The Netherflame Oldman eerily said. When the Heavenly Evil King heard his words, he inwardly felt relieved, since he no longer wanted to deal with this mess.
When the Netherflame Oldman finished his words, his eerie gaze swept towards Mu Chen and the Asura King as he sneered, "Your Great Heaven Domain is truly courageous.
How dare you set your sights on my Netherworld Palace! "
The Asura King faintly said, "Old Nether, what are you talking about? This battle is witnessed by all the forces here. Furthermore, the bet was clearly stated. If the Netherworld Palace doesn't care about losing their reputation, then this matter is easy to discuss."
"Jiejie, my reputation has been damaged?"
The Netherflame Oldman sneered, "This bet was started by that reckless fool, Lin Ming. He's just a Fourth Grade Sovereign. How is he qualified to represent the Netherworld Palace?"
"Therefore, even if I lose this bet, I will not be able to do anything about it.
That was also his own business.
If you want the Fallen Origin Pill, then let him give it to you. "
As soon as the Netherflame Old Man said this, the faces of the various kings of the Great Heaven Domain turned ugly. This old fellow was so shameless.
He directly pushed the blame to Lin Ming.
"Oh?
If that's what you say, then.
We can awaken this Lin Ming.
We can ask him if he has obtained the approval of the other higher-ups of the Netherworld Palace before agreeing to this bet. "Mu Chen smiled as he lifted up the unconscious Lin Ming.
"If you feel that Lin Ming isn't qualified to represent the Netherworld Palace, then all the other higher-ups of the Netherworld Palace here are not qualified, right?"
Are they not qualified to do so? "
The faces of the Heavenly Evil King and the rest slightly changed.
The Netherflame Oldman coldly looked at Mu Chen and said, "Brat, what qualifications do you have to speak to this old man? You're truly overestimating yourself!"
When the Netherflame Oldman finished his words, his silhouette had mysteriously disappeared from the horizon.
The Asura King's face drastically changed as he slapped his palm against Mu Chen's chest. Spiritual Energy gushed out and sent Mu Chen flying back.
In that instant when Mu Chen was sent flying back, the space where he stood had been crushed by an invisible hand, causing the void to shatter.
The Netherflame Oldman's silhouette appeared. When he saw that his attack had failed, the chill in his eyes grew even denser. Shortly after, he thrust two of his fingers forth, causing space to fluctuate and a black light flashed.
When the black light appeared, Mu Chen's hair stood on end and he placed Lin Ming before him without any hesitation.
Boom!
As the black light streaked through space, Lin Ming's head had exploded with blood splattering in every direction.
Mu Chen waved his hand, dissipating the blood that shot over. Shortly after, his face was a little unsightly as he looked at the headless corpse in his hand. At this moment, Lin Ming was clearly dead.
Whoosh!
Behind him, Jiu You, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest flew over and protected Mu Chen as they looked at the Netherflame Oldman with caution.
The sudden change had caused the other forces to be startled. When they recovered from their shock, Lin Ming had already been killed, which caused their eyelids to violently twitch.
That's because anyone could tell that the Netherflame Oldman wasn't trying to kill Mu Chen, but Lin Ming, who was captured by him.
"What a ruthless move by Old Ming."
When the Asura King saw this scene, he solemnly said. This way, the Netherflame Oldman could push all the blame onto Lin Ming.
The Netherflame Oldman cast an indifferent glance at the headless corpse and said, "What a fool. Did he think that he could act recklessly after becoming a Battle Formation Master? This Hunting War concerns the future of my Netherworld Palace. So what if we lose a puny Ten Thousand Rune Battle Formation Master?"
Although the Battle Formation Masters were meticulously nurtured by their Netherworld Palace, in terms of value, they weren't worth 400,000 Fallen Origin Pellets in the heart of the Netherflame Oldman.
When the other forces saw this scene, they felt a chill in their hearts from the ruthlessness of the Netherflame Oldman.
"This bet was caused by Lin Ming. If you guys want the Fallen Origin Pellets, then look for him."
The Netherflame Oldman's voice paused as he coldly looked at Mu Chen, the Asura King and the rest. "Now, it's time for this old man to settle the debt of causing the death of a Battle Formation Master of my Netherworld Palace!"
When he finished speaking, he abruptly raised his hand and an eerie voice resounded, "First, kill the Glacier King and bury him with me!"
When the Heavenly Evil King and the rest heard his words, killing intent surged in their eyes. Shortly after, the Heavenly Evil King's silhouette moved and appeared beside the Glacier King, pressing his hand on the latter's head. As Spiritual Energy surged, he wanted to shatter the latter's body.
When Mu Chen, the Asura King and the rest saw this scene, their faces instantly turned pale.
"Kill him!" The Netherflame Oldman eerily said.
"Yes!" The Heavenly Evil King responded before he sinisterly smiled and suddenly slapped his palm down.
However, just when the Heavenly Evil King's palm was about to land on the Glacier King's head, the latter's body suddenly froze and an aged laughter resounded.
"Nether Flame, you old fogey is truly shameless to actually find a loophole to bully the younger generation. But with me here, I'm afraid that it won't be as easy for you to kill the people of my Great Havenlaw Domain."
When the aged voice resounded, everyone saw the space behind the Heavenly Evil King fluctuating and an aged silhouette appeared. He clenched his hand and a terrifying Spiritual Energy enveloped out, freezing space, causing the Heavenly Evil King to be unable to move. The palm that was about to descend was suspended above the Glacier King's head and couldn't descend.
When Mu Chen, Jiu You, the Asura King and the rest of the higher hierarchy of the Great Heaven Domain saw that aged silhouette, joy surged in their eyes. That's because the one that appeared was one of the Three Emperors of their Great Heaven Domain.
Sky Vulture Emperor!
