CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 288: NETHER RIVER AND THE UNDYING KING_3

Crash!

The ethereal and mighty Nether River seemed to be summoned, following the trajectory of the scythe, transforming into a dark torrent that swept down.

This strike was not just a physical attack; it also contained terrifying Power of Rules capable of reversing life and death, burying all things.

The descent of the Undying King’s true form caused the entire Steam Temple to feel the pressure of impending doom.

Yet at this moment, within the Underworld Heaven and Earth, seated upon the throne of the Yama Kings, Lu Yan’s face showed an incredibly strange expression.

He clearly sensed that this Undying King, by deeply merging himself with the rules of the Nether River, had already stepped into a realm beyond that of living human gods.

His power level, in this world, was equivalent to Sequence 2 Earth Angel, comparable to the last of the top ten talents of the Taiyi Sect in the Immortal World he once experienced.

Lu Yan even sharply detected a faint trace of This World’s Only One’s Position on the Undying King.

Obviously, through some unknown method, the Undying King had not only seized the root of the Path of the Dead but also successfully stolen some of the Position inherent to the Nether River itself.

With such power, he was almost the strongest enemy Lu Yan had encountered below This World’s Only One.

But Lu Yan, facing this Undying King wielding the power of the Nether River, felt not the slightest fear.

All of this was due to a fundamental difference in understanding. The Undying King clearly mistook the Underworld and his disguise as the Ten Halls of Yama for merely a power holding authority over death.

The purpose of his action was merely to seize this seemingly valuable death authority to complete himself.

Yet he failed to realize that what he faced was not merely some authority or power, but a complete All Heavens Divine Court with its own order and rules!

Rip!

With the Undying King’s scythe strike infused with the power of the Nether River, the void rifts that covered the Tomb of the Dead were forcibly torn and expanded.

Beyond the rift, instead of chaotic void, there was now an indistinct reflection of an incomplete corner of the Underworld Heaven and Earth.

"Hahahaha! Found you!"

The Undying King let out a greedy, triumphant laugh, carrying unmatched might as he boldly took a step into the void rift he had forcibly torn open, entering the realm of the little Underworld.

However, in the next instant, the entire little Underworld suddenly shook violently.

It was not due to an attack but because the supreme order of the Divine Court within had been touched by an outsider and began to operate autonomously.

The order of the Divine Court, like a blazing great sun, instantaneously released supreme majesty that suppressed all beings.

The greedy and arrogant smile on the Undying King’s face froze the moment he stepped into the Underworld.

The order rules evolved by the All Heavens Divine Court were almost equivalent to a self-contained Celestial Dao.

If in its peak perfect state, it could even suppress the true This World’s Only One.

The piece of Position from This World’s Only One stolen by the Undying King from the Nether River appeared so fragile and laughable at this moment.

In the empty eye sockets of the Undying King, the greedy flames were instantly replaced by endless fear.

Within the Divine Court and Underworld, seated on the throne, Lu Yan remained calm and peaceful as he slowly raised his right hand.

With this simple motion, above the sky of the little Underworld, a cosmic Hand of the Heavens unfathomably enormous, seeming to cover the entire expanse of the heavens, began to slowly take shape.

With an earth-shattering momentum, it pressed down towards the Undying King and the illusory Nether River he brought.

No matter if you merge with the Nether River, steal Position, under this Divine Court’s order, all must be suppressed!

Meanwhile, within the external Heretic Court, many strong figures watching through Void Vision witnessed an even more bizarre and terrifying scene:

They saw the void rift torn open by the Undying King, leading to an unknown world, suddenly erupt with an even more terrifying aura.

The Undying King, who had charged in arrogantly, now tried desperately to flee from the rift in a more wretched and panic-stricken manner.

The once-mighty illusory shadow of the Nether River on his body was fluctuating violently, disintegrating as if it encountered a natural enemy or nemesis.

His empty eye sockets filled with unprecedented terror, seemingly eager to distance himself from the realm he just entered.

Yet in the next moment, a boundless, indescribable great hand emerged from the violently fluctuating void rift.

This great hand ignored all the Undying King’s struggles and resistance, grasping his massive skeletal body along with the collapsing illusory Nether River and dragging them back into that unknown realm.

The projection of the Ten Halls of Yama dissipated, the void rift slowly closed, and peace was restored.

Leaving behind the dumbfounded strong figures of the Church within the Heretic Court.
