Challenge

Outside the castle, the seawater was parted by an invisible force, forming a vacuum zone hundreds of meters long.

In the center of that vacuum zone, a man in black robes floated.

"Could it be him?"

Xing Yi, Zijing, and the others emerged from the castle and were startled to see the seawater parted. Their attention was immediately drawn to the man in black robes.

Andres was also looking at the man in black robes, a new set of information clearly displayed in his mind.

"Target: Uthered."

"Talent: Highgod of Destruction Rule (Paragon), Innate Divine Ability 'Soul Prison', Main Godhead Level Body."

"Binding Quest (based on the target's inner desires): None."

"Completion conditions: None."

"Completion Rewards: Highgod of Destruction Rule (Paragon), Innate Divine Ability 'Soul Prison', and Main Godhead Level Body to choose from."

"It really is Uthered!" Andres's eyes lit up. Finding Uthered meant that his Main God Artifact Body was now secured.

"Unfortunately, he hasn't been Binding Quest yet."

Andres frowned, pondering his next move. He secretly decided that no matter the outcome of the battle between Uthered and Xing Yi, he had to find a way to keep track of Uthered's movements and be ready to update Uthered's Binding Quest at any time.

While Andres was lost in thought, Xing Yi had already flown towards Uthered.

"So you're the one who wants to challenge me?" Xing Yi looked at Uthered.

"It is I. You can call me Uthered." Uthered said calmly. "I've heard that you are the strongest in Hell. Once I defeat you, you and your men will all become my subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Xing Yi's expression suddenly turned cold, and she sneered, "Arrogant!"

Uthered remained composed, as if stating something perfectly normal. "You are no match for me, and not just you—"

He looked at Andres and the others at the castle gate.

"You must all acknowledge me as your master. From now on, I will be the sole ruler of Hell."

"Hmph!" Zijing, Elaina, Laina's faces all darkened.

"What a boastful tone!" Laina shouted, and immediately charged toward Uthered.

"Laina, stop!" Xing Yi immediately called out, stopping Laina.

"Don't make a move, he's my prey!" Xing Yi's eyes were icy as she stared intently at Uthered.

Upon hearing Xing Yi's words, Laina flew back to Andres and the others.

"Laina, don't rush. Do you really think Xing Yi will lose?" Elaina said with a smile.

"Hmph, some guy who popped up out of nowhere. He doesn't look like a strong person at all," Laina snorted, his large beard trembling.

Andres remained silent. He knew that Uthered's talent far surpassed Xing Yi's, and that Uthered was the earliest life form born in Hell, having cultivated for the longest time among Hell's many powerful beings.

With high talent and a long training period, his actual combat strength is unlikely to be inferior to Xing Yi.

"I wonder what level Uthered has reached now, is he an ordinary Commander? Or a superior Commander?"

In the original work, a strong person who can integrate the profound mysteries of five Law Profundity (excluding the wind element) is generally considered to be Commander -level strong person.

However, there are also differences in strength among the Commander. When the level of understanding of the profound mysteries of the Law Profundity is equal, some divine beasts or Commander with special abilities are stronger than Commander of ordinary races.

Uthered is Super Divine Beast with a powerful body. If it also reaches the level of Commander in its understanding of the Destruction Rule, its actual combat power will be terrifying.

Andres suddenly realized a possibility. "Uthered hasn't been Binding Quest yet, could it be that he already has victory in his grasp?"

The Binding Quest is based on the target's deepest desires. If the target does not have any particular desires at this time, then the Binding Quest will be "none".

Uthered's current Binding Quest is "None," indicating that he doesn't take the challenge against Xing Yi too seriously.

Andres deduced from this that Uthered was extremely confident in his own abilities.

Thinking of this, Andres couldn't help but worry, and he transmitted his voice to Zijing and the others beside him. "Everyone, if Xing Yi is really defeated, what do you plan to do?"

Zijing and the others heard Andres's Divine Sense message, they were first taken aback, and then they all looked at Andres.

"Andres, do you think Xing Yi will lose?" Zijing frowned slightly and transmitted her voice.

"I'm not sure. I just want to be more prepared," Andres transmitted telepathically. "His words just now implied a desire to Commander the entire Hell. If he really defeats Xing Yi, are you willing to submit?"

Zijing and the others exchanged glances. After a moment, Zijing transmitted her voice again. "If he defeats Xing Yi with overwhelming strength, then we will have no choice but to submit, but if his strength is not much stronger than Xing Yi's, then we can simply attack together."

"That's right, that's what I thought too. Xing Yi is probably the strongest among us. He also has the idea of Rule Hell, but his strength is no match for our combined efforts, so he has to give up. If this person really defeats Xing Yi, but the difference in strength is not that big, then we can just treat him as the next Xing Yi," Elaina said.

"You're right, I agree, but I think Xing Yi will win," Laina said.

"In that case, let's see how this battle goes," Andres said.

Everyone reached a consensus.

Meanwhile, ahead, the battle between Xing Yi and Uthered has begun.

The two were suspended in a vacuum, and the surrounding seawater was pushed back by an invisible force, preventing it from flowing back in.

Xing Yi stared coldly at Uthered and sneered, "I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth."

Uthered's expression was indifferent as he glanced at Xing Yi and said, "Stop talking nonsense and come on."

Faced with Uthered's disdain, Xing Yi's face flashed with a fierce expression.

"Boom"

A powerful Destruction Divine Power surged from his body, rapidly spreading outwards and soon enveloping Uthered.

The Destruction Divine Power was as black as ink, like the Nightfall.

"Call"

Uthered's figure flew out from the "Nightfall".

At that moment, stars lit up one after another in the Nightfall formed by the Destruction Divine Power.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Countless stars shot towards Uthered like a meteor shower, tearing open spatial rifts wherever they passed.

"This Xing Yi is indeed stronger than us!" Elaina was greatly shocked when she saw Xing Yi's move.

Zijing squinted, watching Xing Yi's attack with a serious expression, as if she were wondering if she could withstand Xing Yi's moves if she were in Xingyi's shoes.

"This attack has reached the top level of Seven-star Demon!" Andres thought to himself.

Xing Yi's move was only slightly less powerful than his Dimension Slash Profound Mystery fusing the profound mysteries of "Wind Space".

"I wonder if Uthered can hold them off."

Andres kept his eyes glued to the battlefield; this was an excellent opportunity to see Uthered's current strength.

"Snort!"

Faced with Xing Yi's attack, Uthered calmly extended his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, and a barrage of attacks rained down on him.
