Boom!

An endless pressure emanated, covering the sky and earth, peerless in the world, and soul-stirring.

A pitch-black claw appeared, boundless, as if transcending all rules and laws, capable of twisting and destroying everything. It was immensely vast, carrying unimaginable power, and pressed directly down upon the Netherworld below.

In an instant, all living beings within the Netherworld trembled.

One by one, they felt their souls in disarray, trembling, on the verge of shattering.

This was an unimaginable pressure.

Countless people cried out in terror.

Lu Chen, standing on the Divine Mountain, was startled and instinctively clutched the two tokens in his hands.

I can't block it!

The moment he saw the pitch-black claw, he knew he couldn't block it alone.

This was power that completely surpassed that of Gods.

This was the king among Gods!

Gods, True Gods, Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, Overlords.

Beneath the starry sky, these five types of beings were the strongest.

Among them, Overlords were supreme, their aura and life infinitely close to nothingness. They hadn't appeared for countless years, and it was even uncertain if such beings existed in the entire starry sky.

Therefore, the strongest on the surface were the Divine Emperors.

However, Divine Emperors were usually stationed in sacred lands and rarely ventured out.

Those who traveled the most outside were Divine Kings.

The appearance of a Divine King meant invincible combat power!

The terrifying claw blotted out the sun and moon, targeting not only the Divine Mountain but the entire Netherworld. It intended to destroy all the restrictions within the Netherworld.

The Netherworld's layers of restrictions were instantly activated.

Streams of light rose, densely packed with runes, boundless, making a rustling sound as they surged towards the giant black palm.

Those within the Netherworld felt their hearts pounding with fear, each feeling as if destruction was imminent.

Conversely.

Those survivors who had previously escaped from Lu Chen's grasp and were hiding in various directions around the Divine Mountain now cheered, shouting excitedly.

"A Divine King Old Ancestor has made a move!"

"Excellent! With the Old Ancestor intervening, no one can stop it!"

"We beg the Old Ancestor to quickly tear open this realm's restrictions!"

Bang bang bang bang...

In the sky above the Netherworld, light bloomed like flowers, one after another.

These were all fluctuations caused by layers of restrictions being forcibly obliterated.

Each ripple was like a vast ocean.

Whether it was the survivors hiding on the Divine Mountain or the other descending beings in the sky above the Netherworld, all were extremely excited at this moment.

Seeing the sky-covering claw obliterating the restrictions and reaching further down, the pressure on Lu Chen reached its peak. Without hesitation, he activated the two tokens in his hands almost simultaneously.

"Gatekeeper, quickly aid me!"

He chanted silently in his heart, transmitting a wisp of spiritual fluctuations.

Hiss!

The next moment.

The void above his head silently split open, revealing two dark, cavernous holes.

Terrifying, chilling auras emanated from within these holes.

Then, boundless light erupted from these two holes like an overflowing tide, vast and mighty, with completely different auras and colors.

Boom!

Innumerable energies, vast and mighty, surged fiercely towards the sky.

From afar, it looked like two different volcanoes.

The powerful and terrifying energy beams fiercely struck the giant pitch-black hand, causing the entire black claw to vibrate violently, its surface light blurring.

One stream of energy was instantly scattered by the black claw.

However, another stream of energy was boundless and unfathomably terrifying. It collided with the black claw, not only failing to scatter but becoming even more formidable, like scorching divine fire, unstoppable, and actually setting the black claw ablaze.

This terrifying sight caused the powerhouses from the Outer Realms and other survivors on the Divine Mountain to cry out in surprise.

"The Divine King Old Ancestor is injured!"

"This is impossible!"

"What power does the Netherworld still possess to block the Divine King Old Ancestor!"

Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The Divine King, immortal through a thousand tribulations, indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, who could possibly harm them?

Let alone this declining world, even a top-tier planet would struggle to achieve this, even with all its might.

Boom!

The fiercely burning black claws were suddenly retracted, pulling back a large expanse of divine fire into the sky above the Netherworld. The scorching heat made the crowd show fear, and they quickly fled.

The temperature was unprecedented; even they, as Demigods, couldn't withstand it.

"Little one, Hell's Second Layer can't stop a Divine King. You should let that old monster from the Third Layer handle it. He's already taken your benefits, so he can't refuse to help."

An ancient voice emanated from one of the black holes.

It was the Gatekeeper of the Second Layer.

Then, that black hole slowly closed, disappearing once more.

Only one black hole remained, floating above Lu Chen's head, fluctuating and mysterious.

Destructive energy emanated from within.

This was the power of the Third Layer.

Lu Chen looked up and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He was fortunate, so fortunate that he had gone to find the Gatekeeper of the Third Layer at any cost before.

Otherwise, his fate at this moment would be unimaginable.

"What is that? A Demon King?"

Lu Chen muttered to himself.

The black claws from before were definitely not human.

High in the sky, those cold, piercing eyes were like colossal planets, overlooking the Netherworld below. The terrifying pressure was like a mountain's roar and the ocean's surge, making souls tremble.

"Interesting. I can feel the aura of Hell again. It was forcefully erased back then, and all eighteen layers of criminals escaped. Who has rebuilt Hell here again?"

The cold and terrifying voice echoed in the sky above the Netherworld.

The entire Netherworld trembled.

"What's the point of playing coy here? If you truly have the ability, you should break out of this world and restore your former glory, not hide here and build a broken Hell!"

The cold and terrifying voice sounded again.

Those massive eyes instantly became sharper and more piercing, golden like a burning sun, illuminating nearly half of the Netherworld.

Many souls prostrated themselves in fear, feeling their soul bodies about to dissipate.

"Let me see your true face!"

Boom!

A blinding burst of flames suddenly erupted in the sky above the Netherworld, burning fiercely, almost engulfing the entire realm. The half-illuminated Netherworld now shone almost completely.

Under this boundless divine fire, it seemed as though no secrets remained in the Netherworld.

Everything was exposed.

The terrifying pressure made even the survivors on the Divine Mountain tremble.

They endured immense pressure, their hearts filled with excitement.

The Divine King Old Ancestor was unharmed!

He still possessed heaven-defying combat power.

Whoosh!

Terrifying flames surged from outside the Netherworld, covering everything and sweeping in all directions, as if intending to pierce through the entire Netherworld and destroy all the restrictions here.

Especially the black hole above Lu Chen's head, which became the primary target of his attack.

Fierce golden flames rushed directly towards that black hole, intending to fill it and burn it to ashes.

The black hole suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful suction, as if it were connected to an unknown space, or like a terrifying beast gulping down the ocean.

All the golden flames roared, rapidly disappearing into it.

In the blink of an eye.

All the flames vanished.

The world became completely dark once more.

The black hole above made a gurgling sound, as if it were boiling.

The divine fire that had just been swallowed then surged out once more, this time with even greater speed and terror, charging towards the Outer Realm and blasting at the pair of massive eyes.

The enormous eyes suddenly snapped shut and vanished.

Even so, the terrifying divine fire struck fiercely, causing the void behind the eyeballs to collapse and explode with a deafening roar that reverberated for countless miles.

"Hic!"

A burp suddenly echoed from the black hole, accompanied by a familiar voice.

"I'm full, I can't eat anymore."

It was unmistakably the little pig's voice.

Lu Chen suddenly felt a connection and focused his gaze on the Outer Realm again.

Boom!

Vast swathes of terrifying energy descended from above the Netherworld, accompanied by low roars. The golden eyes that had just disappeared reappeared.

This time, not only did the eyes appear, but its entire body manifested as well.

It was a colossal bird, entirely black, its size blotting out the sky, spanning more than half of the Netherworld.

It was truly immense.

Boundless.

Crushing everything.

Describing it as hundreds of millions or even billions of miles wide wouldn't be an exaggeration.

At this moment, its aura was chaotic, its feathers were scattered, its Soul Power was in disarray, and divine fire still burned in multiple places.

Clearly, it was injured.

"Is this a Divine King?"

A tremor of fear ran through Lu Chen as he felt his own insignificance.

Such a creature was too terrifying.

All techniques and restrictions seemed trivial before it.

He needed to add points!

He needed to become stronger!

Strong enough to kill a Divine King, strong enough to cleave through everything with a sword.

The powerlessness he felt today would never be allowed to happen again!

He would crush everything! Annihilate everything!

"Good, good, good, I underestimated you after all. You dared to hide here and build Hell, you must have a scheme. Did you think blocking me would be enough? I am merely the vanguard!"

The giant black bird spoke with a chilling tone, gazing downwards. "You blocked me, but stronger kings will come after. No matter what you're plotting here, it will all be for naught. I defeated you back then, and I can defeat you again now!"

Its killing intent was heavy, and its gaze was cold.

It opened its mouth and exhaled, and suddenly, countless heads appeared before it.

Large and small, of all kinds, they were piled together like a mountain of heads, refined by it into a unique magical artifact.

"Do you recognize these heads?"

The giant bird revealed a cruel smile. "These are the former sages of this world. I hunted and slaughtered them back then, their screams echoing as I collected their heads and refined them into this artifact. If you have the ability, then destroy the skulls of your former sages as well!"

Boom!

It activated this mountain of heads, unleashing a terrifying aura, and descended from the heavens, continuing its assault on the Netherworld below.

A hoarse sigh echoed from the dark black hole.

"Little one, do you see now? This is the fate of the weak, without dignity, even in death they are humiliated. What can be done? I can only help you resolve this one instance, but if other Divine Kings appear later, I won't be able to stop them. Therefore, everything still depends on you."

The sigh of the Third Layer's Gatekeeper echoed in Lu Chen's mind.

Following that, Lu Chen saw countless chains, clattering loudly, shoot directly towards the Outer Realm.
