The Chief Sovereign of the Nethermountain before them was not the Chief Sovereign of the Netherworld's death faction, but rather the Life Sovereign from the life faction. This result completely astonished Linley and Bebe.
"How could that be? My brother clearly said that there is Death Sovereign on Nethermountain?" Linley murmured, looking disappointed.
"Hehe, who told you that there's only one Chief Sovereign on this Nethermountain?" Jin smiled and shook his head, looking amused.
"So, there's another Death Attribute Chief Sovereign on this Nethermountain!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Linley's eyes as he stared intently at the Sovereign of the Netherworld.
"If you came to Nethermountain to find the Chief Sovereign the Netherworld, it's simple. Just follow the path you came from and keep going until you leave the Purple Mist Zone. Then you will reach the Palace of the Death Sovereign," the Sovereign of the Netherworld chuckled.
"As for the Netherfruit in your possession..." The Sovereign of the Netherworld pondered for a moment, then said, "Since you have already obtained it, I will give it to you."
"Thank you for the gift from Chief Sovereign!" Linley said gratefully.
"Thank you, Chief Sovereign..." Bebe bowed to the Sovereign of the Netherworld with a happy expression.
Linley and his companion walked along the path cleared for them by the Sovereign of the Netherworld. Bebe patted her chest with a relieved expression and laughed, "This trip to Nethermountain has truly been full of twists and turns!"
"Yes, but this Sovereign of the Netherworld really has a good temper!" Linley recalled his experience with Bebe on Nethermountain, first shaking his head with a smile, then thinking of the kind Sovereign of the Netherworld, he smiled with emotion.
The two walked along the path, chatting and laughing. After a while, a palace floating in mid-air came into view.
"Boss, look! The gates over there are open! Let's hurry over there!" Bebe looked at Linley with great joy as he saw the palace gates in mid-air were now wide open.
"Haha, let's hurry over there then, we can't keep the Chief Sovereign waiting for us." Linley also looked towards the palace with a joyful expression.
Linley and Bebe exchanged a glance and flew towards the palace gates.
As the two walked through the deep, dark hall, they felt a terrifying aura, far surpassing that of the Sovereign of the Netherworld, constantly pressing down on them. Under this terrifying aura, Linley and Bebe didn't even dare to raise their heads, and quietly walked to the bottom of the hall's steps.
"Greetings, Chief Sovereign." The two knelt respectfully before the terrifying figure on the high platform.
"You two, raise your heads." A cold voice echoed throughout the hall.
After a while, Linley and Bebe, both looking puzzled, slowly flew from the main hall toward the foot of Nethermountain.
"Boss, what exactly do you mean by this Death Sovereign?" Bebe asked with a puzzled look.
Linley for a moment, then frowned and shook his head. "Regardless of what it means, I think we have no choice but to go to this Plane Battlefield!" Linley sighed softly.
Bebe stopped abruptly, looking at Linley with a horrified expression. "Boss, are you really going to complete the mission issued by the Sovereign of Death? You know, even Prefect Lord- level figure has a high probability of perishing in that Plane Battlefield."
"Moreover, it's a Commander Badge for a person, this is too much..." Bebe looked angrily towards the direction of the Nethermountain.
"Hehe, I know it's dangerous inside, but we still have some chances." Linley produced a purple-skinned fruit in his hand, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
"This is the Netherfruit! If this Netherfruit can really allow you, Boss, to completely fuse the five Mysteries of the Earth Element, then maybe we really will have a chance!" Bebe's eyes lit up when she saw the Netherfruit, and she said with a smile.
"Whether there's a chance or not, we'll only know after we try it!" Linley chuckled and Netherfruit in his hand in two bites.
"Hmm?" Linley hummed softly, his eyes slightly closed. A hazy light slowly emanated from Linley's body.
A moment later, Linley opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
"Boss, how are you feeling?" Bebe asked with a worried expression.
"I'm fine. This Netherfruit is truly amazing! It actually allowed my fifth profound Mysteries to fully fuse!" Linley gently shook his head at Bebe to indicate that he was alright. Then, he clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented power within his body, and spoke with confidence.
"Haha, this greatly increases our chances of completing missions in the Plane Battlefield," Bebe said with a delighted smile.
"However, to go to the Plane Battlefield, we must first become the lord of a prefecture. Let's find a Prefect Lord we're confident in challenging first." Linley pondered for a moment, then looked into the distance, his eyes gleaming.
In the Plane Battlefield, a tall, towering man sat on the shoulder of a slender young man wearing purple battle armor. Beside him was a silver-haired young man with a cold expression, dressed in a black robe.
" Bolan, have you really reached the Paragon?" Riesjinn tossed a blue-skinned fruit to Bolan and asked with a puzzled look.
"Young Master, Mr. Bolan's deeds have already spread throughout Hell. Soon, all the higher planes will know that Mr. Bolan is Paragon cultivator. And this is the third time you've asked!" The burly man Leihong explained to Riesjinn again with a helpless expression.
Riesjinn, looking utterly embarrassed, lightly tapped Leihong's head. "Hmph, I know, you don't need to keep reminding me."
"But why do you, Paragon, suddenly want to enter this Plane Battlefield? And why did you ask me to bring you in?" Riesjinn looked at Bolan with curiosity.
"Entering the Plane Battlefield requires Commander's or Prefect Lord's Medal. Among the people I know, only you and Mosi have it, but Mosi isn't planning to participate in this Plane Battlefield. So I had no choice but to come to you," Bolan said with a faint smile.
"No matter what, with a Paragon like you protecting us this time, we're sure to have a great harvest." Riesjinn laughed and patted Leihong on the shoulder.
"My second brother and Bebe will also be arriving at the Plane Battlefield in a while. I will be away for a period of time then, and you few will form a team. With your strength, you won't be in any danger unless you encounter Paragon expert," Bolan said with a faint smile and a shake of his head.
"Are Linley and Bebe also coming to the Plane Battlefield? Their strength should be quite lacking, right?" Riesjinn was initially delighted, but then asked with some concern.
" Bebe is High God who has fused three Mysteries. I believe you also know how heaven -God-slaying Rat at the High God level is!" Bolan said with a faint smile.
Riesjinn's eyes lit up. "What about Linley?"
"My second brother, I reckon he's already fully integrated the fifth profound Mysteries by now!" A hint of anticipation flashed in Bolan's eyes.
"How is that possible? Five profound Mysteries?" Riesjinn shouted, then glanced at the calm-faced Bolan beside him. "No, it's not impossible. After all, with a freakish brother like you here, it's normal for Linley to be a little freakish! It's normal."
Riesjinn looked utterly defeated, sitting on Leihong's shoulder in a daze with a look of utter despair.
