Boom!

Dazzling golden light burst forth from Meng Lei. It shone with such radiance and resplendence and dazzled the eyes so much that one couldn't even look directly upon it.

At the same time, a terrifying force that reached into the heavens and deep into the ground engulfed the area and swept through every inch of land, crus.h.i.+ng everything in all directions.

Dazzling golden light, a sharp aura of slaughter… Added to this that familiar appearance of a c.o.c.katoo-like head, a snake-like neck, a strong jaw, a raised back, and a fishtail…

“That aura… And that appearance…”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's eyes widened big and round as he exclaimed, “Why does it resemble a Divine Netherworld Phoenix so much!?”

“No, it's not so much that it 'resembles' one as it IS one!” The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress' eyes bore into Meng Lei as she declared, “It is a Divine Netherworld Phoenix just like you are!”

“No! That's impossible! How can a Divine Netherworld Phoenix possibly look like that?” The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor shook his head forcefully, though a tiny theory had already formed in his mind.

“That's a metal-origin divine body!”

The Fallen Emperor murmured to himself, “It's a Divine Netherworld Phoenix with a metal-origin divine body! Never have I ever thought that I would see such a rare divine body during this lifetime!”

“A metal-origin divine body?!”

A huge jolt went through the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor.

“That… That's…”

The idle demons watching the battle were also stunned. Even their brains had somewhat short-circuited as they stared at the enormous creature suspended proudly in the sky.

Its appearance and the aura around it bore a striking resemblance to that of a Divine Netherworld Phoenix, yet it was golden in color. Was that really a Divine Netherworld Phoenix?

“Do you see it now, Your Majesty?”

The Metal-Origin Divine Netherworld Phoenix spoke the human tongue and said, “I'm also a Divine Netherworld Phoenix, and my divine flames are also Netherworld Divine Fire. That is why you can't burn me to death!”

“Well done! Well done, indeed!”

After a brief moment of astonishment, the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor finally regained his senses. His eyes shone with fervency as he said, “Never have I ever thought that you would actually be a Divine Netherworld Phoenix with a metal-origin divine body. If I destroy your divine spirit and occupy that body of yours, I shall own a Metal-Origin Divine Netherworld Phoenix alternate incarnation, too!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's eyes turned incredibly scorching hot at this point. He said, “I must thank you for coming here and bestowing such a golden opportunity upon me, kid!”

“Occupy my body?”

As though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, Meng Lei burst into laughter and said, “Your Majesty, you overestimate yourself!”

“Is that so?”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor let out a snort. Then, a terrifying wave of Demon's Domain swept out from him, instantly locking down the dimension around Meng Lei and trapping Meng Lei himself along with it as well.

“Kill!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor appeared right in front of Meng Lei like a phantom the very next moment and quietly took out a blood-red dagger stained with blood.

Rather than a dagger, it looked more like a razor blade.

Slas.h.!.+

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor slashed right at Meng Lei's throat with the blood-red razor blade in hand.

Had it been any other ordinary attack, Meng Lei wouldn't have thought much of it at all. However, he could feel a strong sense of danger coming from the tiny little razor blade in this instant.

That razor blade… is capable of taking my life!

Meng Lei felt an intense tingling sensation on his scalp, and he promptly teleported and vanished from where he was, causing the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's razor blade to miss.

“He actually dodged it?”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor found this rather unbelievable. By right, Meng Lei would have needed some time to shake off his Demon's Domain, and this pocket of time would have been sufficient for his attack to land on Meng Lei.

Yet the reality was that… Meng Lei had actually evaded the attack!

How did he manage to escape?

“What kind of weapon is that, Your Majesty?”

Meng Lei's eyes bore into the blood-red razor blade in the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's grip as he barked the question gravely.

“You're surprisingly quick at fleeing.”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor didn't answer Meng Lei. Instead, he turned to the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor and said, “Aid me in taking him down, and the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom shall not take part in the Dark Canopy of The Heavens journey this time!”

Both the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor knew exactly what the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor had in mind. It was very evident that he had set his sights on Meng Lei's body.

Even they coveted the metal-origin divine body, let alone the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor who was a Divine Netherworld Phoenix. It was just that the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor undoubtedly desired the body even more desperately than them.

The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress said, “Isaiah, the other party is a Divine Netherworld Phoenix with a metal-origin divine body of Great Mastery-level that possesses unlimited potential. We can aid you in taking him down, but the conditions you've offered are simply too lacking in sincerity.”

The Fallen Emperor also said, “The Boundless Plane is fraught with great danger, so the chances of people successfully bringing out priceless treasures are simply too low. If you'd like us to aid you, then you'll have to offer up treasures of similar value, too.”

“These two greedy fellows!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor had an awful look on his countenance, though he then said coldly, “Aid me in taking him down, and I'll give you two high-level Great Demon G.o.d dead bodies!”

The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress' eyelid twitched a little, though she still shook her head. “It isn't enough!”

“I'll throw in another two high-tier demonic weapons!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor continued to make an offer.

“Isaiah, be it high-level Great Demon G.o.d dead bodies or high-tier divine weapons, they are nothing but icing on the cake for you and me. There isn't much practical value in them.”

The Fallen Emperor shook his head and said, “Your level of sincerity is too low. We can't help you like that.”

“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor was so furious that he had broken into expletives. “Alec, you're too greedy!”

“Compared to a Metal-Origin Divine Netherworld Phoenix alternate incarnation, the sincerity you've shown is not up to snuff at all.” The Fallen Emperor let out a derisive snort of laughter and said, “If you want us to help you, then show some sincerity, Isaiah!”

“d.a.m.n it!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor took a deep breath. He suppressed the fury within him and said unhurriedly, “We'll cancel the previous offer. Would two Great Perfection-level demonic weapons suffice?”

“Alright!”

“Deal!”

The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress' and the Fallen Emperor's eyes brightened a little. This time, they took up the offer right away.

“Since you've agreed to it, then cut the c.r.a.p and help me to take him down!” The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor barked stiffly, feeling as though his heart was bleeding as he spoke.

“No problem!”

The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor appeared right in front of Meng Lei with a flash of their forms. For a moment there, the trio formed a triangular formation and surrounded Meng Lei on all sides.

“Give up and surrender, kid! There's no way you'll be able to escape. Extending your neck in preparation for execution is your final outcome!”

“Ganging up on me just because you can't beat me one-on-one? This certainly matches your demonic natures very much!”

Meng Lei's gaze swept across all three of them one by one. “But with the likes of the three of you, I don't think you can kill me just yet?”

“We'll see about that!”

“Attack!”

“Demon's Domain!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor let out a deep roar while the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor promptly cast Demon's Domain. Evidently, they were intending to suppress Meng Lei so that they could take him down thereafter.

Buzz…

The imprisoning force from a stack of three Demon's Domains cast by three high-level Great Demon G.o.ds was incredibly strong. Meng Lei could totally sense how fearsome the imprisoning force was—it was enough to suppress any high-level Great Demon G.o.d out there!

“Die, you worm!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor let out a furious roar. The blood-red razor blade in his hand drew a blood-red slash across the air as it went straight for Meng Lei's throat. Given how sharp it was, it would undoubtedly slash Meng Lei's throat open if the attack landed.

One strike would be all it needed to take his life!

“It's a good weapon, and the imprisoning force from your Demon's Domains is also extremely strong. What a shame…”

Meng Lei shook his head lightly. A thought flashed across his mind, and then he vanished right away from where he was. By the time he next appeared, he had already bizarrely shown up behind the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor.

“Hey.”

Meng Lei patted the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor on the shoulder and asked with a smile, “Do you have the guts to look at me?”

“Die!”

A jolt went through the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor, and he immediately smashed his elbow into Meng Lei without even so much as a thought. Meng Lei dodged the attack and kept his gaze on the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor.

Meanwhile, the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor also turned around to look at him.

Two pairs of eyes gazed at each other.

Meng Lei couldn't help but laugh. “You're doomed!”

Just as the puzzlement filled the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor, a golden eye slowly surfaced in between Meng Lei's brows before it snapped open forcefully.

Whoos.h.!.+

A golden light beam shot out of it, striking the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor in between his brows in a split second.

Boom!

As though he was thunderstruck, the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor instantly froze where he was and became completely still.

“That's—”

A short distance away, a violent jolt involuntarily went through the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor upon seeing what had happened. They couldn't help but exclaim, “T-the Grim Reaper's Eye!”

“d.a.m.n it! That's the Grim Reaper's Eye!”

“Stop him! We mustn't let him get his way!”

The two rulers brazenly launched their attacks. As demonic lifeforms, they were all too aware of how frightening the Grim Reaper's Eye was. Once they gave Meng Lei enough time, the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor would be doomed for sure.

And once the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor was dead, they definitely wouldn't have it any better, either. Therefore, they absolutely had to stop Meng Lei.

“Stop me?”

Meng Lei let out a derisive snort of laughter. Then, he grabbed the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor and vanished from where they were, his whereabouts unknown.

“Where's he?”

“Where are they?”

The Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor's attacks landed on empty air. They looked around, but there was no one around, let alone Meng Lei and the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor.

“d.a.m.n it! Where has that b.a.s.t.a.r.d brought the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor?”

The two terribly enraged rulers' expressions were exceedingly grim and sinister.

When had they ever been played like fools like this during all this time that they dominated the Dark h.e.l.l Continent?

What a great insult to them this was!

“Find him! We must find him no matter what!”

Find him?

It was naturally impossible for them to find him because Meng Lei had already teleported millions of kilometers away with the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor in tow.

One must admit that the teleportation special ability was simply too powerful. As Meng Lei's divine spirit powered up, the range that his teleportation special ability could cover had also increased along with it.

He could cover at least 10 million kilometers with each teleportation attempt!

Therefore, finding him was practically just a pipe dream for the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Empress and the Fallen Emperor. They wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of his shadow, let alone actually finding him.

However, Meng Lei had also encountered some difficulties—he was experiencing great resistance from the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor. For a while, he actually couldn't extract the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's divine spirit from his body!

Dodola reminded him loudly, “Meng Lei, your Grim Reaper's Eye isn't strong enough.”

“Not strong enough?” Meng Lei snorted coldly and ordered, “System, enhance my Grim Reaper's Eye!”

“Ding! The host's Grim Reaper's Eye is currently cla.s.sified as a superior-grade Innate Special Ability and will become an ultimate-grade Innate Special Ability after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 100 million Divinity Crystals.”

The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoos.h.!.+

His Wealth decreased by 100 million Divinity Crystals in an instant.

Meng Lei then felt a fascinating warm current flowing into the Grim Reaper's Eye in the middle of his brows and furiously enhancing it.

“Since I'm going to enhance it anyway, then I might as well go all the way. I have the cash for it anyway.” Meng Lei barked coldly, “System, enhance my divine spirit, too!”

“Ding! The host's divine spirit is currently comparable to an elementary-level higher deity's and will rival that of a mid-level higher deity's after enhancement. Enhancement cost is estimated at 60 million Divinity Crystals.”

The system asked coldly, “Will you enhance it?”

“Yes, enhance it!”

Whoos.h.!.+

A few minutes later, when both the Grim Reaper's Eye and his divine spirit's enhancements were complete, Meng Lei restarted his attempts to extract the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's divine spirit.

The resistance he encountered was still just as strong, but it didn't amount to anything at all this time.

“d.a.m.n it!”

The Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor let out a wretched cry, and then his divine spirit flew uncontrollably toward the Grim Reaper's Eye.

Upon being sucked into the Grim Reaper's Eye, a fearsome destructive force manifested and began to furiously crush the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's divine spirit.

“Aaahhhh!”

Despite the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor's powerful divine spirit, he nevertheless couldn't withstand the Grim Reaper's Eye's insane destructive force. Ultimately crushed into smithereens, he was then turned into the purest of divine spirit power that surged into Meng Lei's own divine spirit.

“This feels awesome!”

Meng Lei was in such a fantastic mood that he was even making snot bubbles.

“What the heck!? You've killed even the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Emperor!” Dodola let out a strange-sounding squawk. “Impressive, impressive! I'm not even impressed by anyone else other than you now!”
