Upon seeing Xiao Tian, the Queen of the Underworld was intensely stimulated, and her captivatingly beautiful eyes suddenly transformed into venomous, Demon Eye.
Countless black chains intertwined between heaven and earth, their flow accompanied by a sound like a pile driver.
Black chains, like a cage, bound Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, leaving him with very little room to move.
In an instant, countless black needles swept across the sky, bursting forth from the black chains, their target being Xiao Tian.
"Am I Hades?"
Xiao Tian was speechless. This Queen of the Underworld should go to the hospital to get her eyes checked. How could someone as handsome and capable as him be the King of the Underworld?
The endless needles contained terrifying power that could destroy everything in its path. Let alone someone at the Visualization Realm, even someone as strong as Mohai at the Golden Body Realm wouldn't have a single breath left to survive this attack.
Fortunately, Xiao Tian laid his cards on the table!
The black needle-like rays were filled with almost extreme negative power, the power of causality, and a force of the Nether Realm rules.
The Queen of the Underworld was insane, but when she saw Xiao Tian standing tall on the earth, his faint purple-gold radiance blocking everything and causing no harm whatsoever, her eyes became even more venomous and insane.
"I will take you down with me!"
Seeing the Queen of the Underworld engulfed in gray soul flames, Dugu Yizhi, Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh.
Why bother?
As soon as the words were spoken, time and space in this area were frozen, except for Xiao Tian himself, who remained unaffected.
The Queen of the Underworld's own soul fire disappeared, and her physical state was reversed by time.
The Queen of the Underworld was still able to think; a sliver of clarity appeared in her eyes, which had been filled with resentment and madness.
"In the end, I still can't resist you, and I'm still going to be humiliated by you!" The Queen of the Underworld felt extremely unwilling.
Xiao Tian into the air and arrived in front of the Queen of the Underworld, with only a fist's distance between them.
"Queen of the Underworld, whether you believe it or not, I am not the King of the Underworld you speak of. Wang Ye of the Underworld be worthy of my status?" Xiao Tian said with disdain.
The Queen of the Underworld's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, but quickly revealed a hint of mockery.
She believed that Xiao Tian was plotting something, intending to humiliate her and take revenge on her in an unconventional way.
Seeing the Queen of the Underworld's gaze, Xiao Tian's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Damn it! Why should I explain to you? Just kill you!"
Xiao Tian suddenly realized what was happening.
The Queen of the Underworld felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Xiao Tian's expression change. The unfamiliar Xiao Tian was completely unlike the possessive, controlling, and extremely chauvinistic King of the Underworld she remembered.
That look in his eyes was serene and detached, as if he had seen through the world and was indifferent to everything in heaven and earth.
Looking at the face that was almost identical to Hades', and realizing that the other person was not Hades, the Queen of the Underworld had the thought of killing her. Her eyes were filled with pleading and fear.
Only now did the Queen of the Underworld realize that the power wielded by the man before her seemed to surpass even that of her at her peak and that of the King of the Underworld at his peak!
Even at the pinnacle of his power, Hades touched upon time, but he could only accelerate it and briefly freeze time within a certain range; he could not reverse time at all.
Everything in the world is either forbidden or in flux. The reversal of time violates the laws of the heavens, and only those with extremely terrifying power or an unparalleled understanding of time can master this ability.
Xiao Tian saw the pleading look in the Queen of the Underworld's eyes.
"What trick are you trying to pull now? You have one minute to say your last words!"
The Queen of the Underworld suddenly realized she could speak again and exclaimed in fear, "Your Majesty, my daughter You Lian was truly sorry for mistaking me for someone else. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I will repay you for eternity!"
"Hmm? You've got good taste, girl, you know how to suck up to powerful people." Xiao Tian scoffed.
Upon hearing this, the You Lian the Underworld, Youlian, trembled.
"Letting you go isn't impossible, but you have to tell me why the Nether Realm has become like this."
Although Xiao Tian knew some of the background of the Primordial Hongmeng Plan and the complete plan for the protagonist to rise up, leave the heavens, and enter the Chaos to save the Chaos, the key problem was that the protagonist had already changed, and the plan could not keep up with the changes. He also didn't know much about the situation on this planet.
You Lian was shocked by Xiao Tian's question.
However, she didn't think much of it and quickly organized her memories in order to survive.
"Your Majesty, this planet in the Nether Realm was once very ancient, reflecting the heavens. In this universe, there are only ten ancient stars that reflect the heavens, and this planet is the eleventh! Our world rose too quickly, far lacking the profound foundation of the ten ancient worlds that reflected the heavens, and thus, disaster struck..."
"The top ten worlds, reflecting the heavens, witnessed the arrival of terrifying races from multiple worlds. The vast star systems surrounding our world were all blasted Annihilation. It was a terrifying battle that shook the heavens and the earth!"
"Get to the point! I only want to know about the Nether Realm," Xiao Tian said, pursing his lips.
Queen You Lian paused, then continued, " The Nether Realm is the negative world of this world. When disaster struck, the Nether Realm could not escape. The vast Nether Realm was shattered in a battle with powerful foreign beings. Because I was sealed away early, I did not directly witness that terrible battle. By sheer luck, I drifted with these shattered fragments of the Nether Realm in the fractured spacetime of the world's decline."
"Your Majesty, that's all my daughter knows."
"That's it? What use are you to me!" Xiao Tian was somewhat disappointed.
Upon hearing this, You Lian trembled, despair welling up within her, and she obediently closed her eyes to await her death.
"Hey, do you want to be resurrected?"
The Queen of the Underworld opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Xiao Tian with a shocked expression.
"Let's make a deal. Of course, you don't have the option to refuse. You've sensed those people outside, haven't you? There's a bull demon, a dragon, men and women—they are my people."
The Queen of the Underworld nodded and said, "I've discovered it, Your Majesty. Tell me."
"I need your help in our cultivation, understand?"
The Queen of the Underworld's beautiful eyes were round, indicating that she understood.
"Your Majesty, what about the other creatures here?"
"Of course, these are also reserved for our cultivation. Remember to subtly tell us about each of these treasure troves."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Queen of the Underworld felt a pang of regret, realizing she couldn't slaughter all those beings to restore herself.
Afterwards, Xiao Tian returned to the place where Big Black Bull and Xuanlong were.
With his primordial spirit returning, Xiao Tian opened his eyes and stretched.
"We've rested enough, let's continue!"
Kabuta's eyes were filled with resentment; this rest was no different than no rest at all, and it had only lasted a few minutes.
However, Kabuta wisely remained silent; during these difficult days, he had come to know the nature of this Lord.
"The strange thing has stopped. Now that everyone's rested, let's continue!" Big Black Bull said.
"For some reason, this Yin Mountain doesn't seem like anything special. The oppressive aura isn't too strong for us." The deeper Xuanlong ventured into this strange mountain range, the more he felt that it was nothing special.
"Hehehe... it's probably all just made up and mythologized by these natives of the Nether Realm."
"That's possible."
With the Queen of the Underworld's ingenious help, Xiao Tian and his companions were blessed with incredible luck and discovered a treasure vault where those who had died while searching for treasure had been buried.
All the rare and precious materials entered Xiao Tian's Kamui Dimension. Divine weapons and other magical artifacts were distributed on the spot. There were countless energy crystals similar to spirit stones, and even more that were too numerous to count. It was all a matter of speed; whoever grabbed the most had to be the fastest.
Xiao Tian and the others left this treasure trove with satisfaction.
