Seventh-grade Nether Dragon
Lin Mu's expression changed slightly.
He could sense that the giant creature in the sky was coming for him.
"What's going on? Didn't they swear an oath?" Lin Mu asked.
"They swore an oath, but the strong members of the clan did not!"
"And for them, even if it means sacrificing those three guys, they don't want you to grow up!" Di Qiuyue explained.
Lin Mu's eyes held a hint of confusion. "Why do they hate me so much?"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's the Nether Emperor. When the Nether Emperor first came to the Netherworld, he had a feud with their clan."
"Later, the Nether Emperor grew up and even went to their Ancestral Land, humiliating their ancestor!"
"However, they were also flexible and adaptable, and by frantically flattering the Nether Emperor, they were able to survive!"
"But from beginning to end, they could not forget the hatred of that year, and they were extremely wary of the Nether Emperor Successor, because their ancestor had performed divination before his death and predicted that the next Nether Emperor Successor would bring them the annihilation of their clan!"
"Their clan will become tools for the Nether Emperor Successor, dying in battles against Demon!"
Di Qiuyue gave a simple explanation.
Lin Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
If that's the case, their motives are understandable.
"Old man!" The dragon in the sky roared, its terrifying power enveloping the earth.
Cracks appeared on the ground, and a suffocating feeling permeated the hearts of all living beings.
This is a suppression stemming from bloodline, and it's a scene that only occurs when there's a significant difference in strength.
The old man's face was extremely ugly, and his figure rapidly evolved into a giant more than ten meters tall.
Compared to a dragon, it is like a giant compared to a dwarf, appearing extremely small.
"Long Chenxin, I never thought you'd still be alive after all these years!" the old man snapped.
He had lived a long time and had dealt with the dragon in front of him several times.
He possessed Seventh-Rank Cultivation and had lived for thousands of years.
He was just born when the Nether Emperor came to power.
To this day, they still hold the Nether Emperor in great fear.
Because he had witnessed firsthand how that man broke into their family and humiliated their family's strongest members.
This also led to his constant search for the traces of the Nether Emperor Successor after the Nether Emperor's death.
They attempted to completely eliminate them.
This is why the Black Saber King never dared to show himself after receiving the inheritance, and could only cautiously wander in the Netherworld.
Because there are some top-tier beings in the Netherworld who could attack him at any time.
"If you're not dead, how could I be? Hand over that kid, or none of you will leave today!" The dragon's head emerged from the clouds, its ferocious head exuding immense power and intimidating presence.
Lin Mu could feel the pressure he brought.
It's no exaggeration to say that with his current strength, he could easily defeat his opponent.
It couldn't even stop one of the opponent's fingers.
The reason the other party didn't make a direct move was clearly because they were wary of something.
The old man's face was somewhat indifferent, and a faint mist of blood lingered on his skin.
"Our Earth Soul Clan has followed the Nether Emperor for thousands of years, and we have never stopped searching for his successor!"
"Now that the Nether Emperor Successor Mortal World, even if our Earth Soul Clan uses all its strength, we will not let you succeed!"
Long Chenxin let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth, "You're courting death!"
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"If you kill me, the Earth Soul Clan will not let you go. You should know your own identity. Once you make a move, it will inevitably attract attention from many parties. Do you think those beings will let you go after they know that you killed the Nether Emperor Successor?" the old man scolded.
He knew that Long Chenxin hadn't made a direct move because he was wary.
The Nether Emperor had many followers in the Netherworld back then.
Some followers are die-hards.
Once news of Lin Mu's situation gets out, it will inevitably receive responses from various parties.
Long Chenxin, who attacked Lin Mu, will only face certain death.
More importantly, he possesses the strength of a seventh-rank expert.
Such a being, if he were to make a move, would immediately alert many powerful individuals.
Even in the Netherworld, the number of creatures of the Seventh Grade or Above is not large.
There are also explicit prohibitions that, except in special circumstances, no action may be taken.
Moreover, the Netherworld is different from the Mortal World; most creatures there have extremely keen senses.
They can also detect energy fluctuations immediately.
"Foolish fellow! Do you really think I'm afraid of death?" Long Chenxin scolded.
"Otherwise what?" the old man said coldly.
Long Chenxin's eyes were filled with rage.
So many years have passed!
This guy's mouth is still so sharp!
But he also knew that if Lin Mu didn't die...
Their Nether Dragon Clan is very likely to suffer annihilation.
More importantly, he felt it wasn't worth it.
After all, there have been Nether Emperor Successor over the years, but some of them are not very talented.
He came here after receiving intelligence.
All I know is that a very powerful Nether Emperor Successor emerged.
I don't know what level Lin Mu is at.
At that moment, three Nether Dragon swam toward him.
"Grown ups!"
"Where did you go?" Long Chenxin scolded.
"We just placed the Young Master in a safe place!" Nether Dragon explained.
"What level is this guy?" Long Chenxin questioned.
"It's ridiculously strong. Not only did it stay in the Nether Pool for two days and thirteen hours, but it also triggered One-Hundred-Twenty-Zhang Soul Light. With its current strength, it can already completely defeat the Young Master!" said the Nether Dragon.
Long Chenxin's eyes were filled with shock.
He had met many of the Nether Emperor Successor.
He had never seen anyone as monstrous as Lin Mu before.
Even the Nether Emperor back then wasn't this exaggerated.
"One-Hundred-Twenty-Zhang Soul Light, completely surpassing Long Huagu! This guy is actually so terrifying!" Flames burned in Long Chenxin's eyes.
He knew very well that once Lin Mu grew up, he could very well reach the level of the Nether Emperor back then.
He has never forgotten the terrifying memories that the Nether Emperor brought to his clan.
Roar!
Long Chenxin let out a roar, and his body was engulfed in Netherflame.
The entire sky was shrouded in an eerie blue hue.
Long Chenxin's killing intent reached its limit at this moment.
He had previously felt that killing Lin Mu would lead to him being held accountable by various parties, making his death seem pointless.
Now he has only one thought in his mind.
Kill Lin Mu!
That damn guy must die!
Otherwise, if the prophecy of the Nether Dragon Clan comes true, no one will survive.
"After all these years, you still showed up!" Long Chenxin scolded.
Terrifying Netherflame filled the entire sky.
Just then, a claw formed from Netherflame swung down towards Lin Mu.
A suffocating sense of oppression then descended.
Cracks appeared in the surrounding sky and earth.
It was as if this claw possessed boundless power, which even the entire world could not withstand.
Seeing this offensive, the old man and the others were filled with terror.
They knew it very well.
Long Chenxin is planning to risk his life.
If the previous three Nether Dragons could have killed them.
The desperate Ming Chenxin in front of them could definitely annihilate them completely!
"Damn it!" the old man couldn't help but curse.
Blood gushed from his body, and his size continued to grow.
He swung his giant axe towards the sky.
However, his slash vanished almost the instant it met the giant claw. He was forced to retreat, coughing up blood, and several deep wounds appeared on his body, revealing the bone.
Seeing this scene, Di Qiuyue's beautiful eyes were filled with resentment.
She knew very well that with the old man beaten like this, what could they possibly do?
