"The Lord of the Netherworld … has really been defeated!"Feng Long muttered to himself with a dry mouth as he stared at the motionless body of the Lord of the Netherworld in the giant pit in the distance.Zhou Li and the other three, who were following beside Feng Long, stared fixedly at the ruins in the distance that had already turned into rubble. They could not help but swallow their saliva a few times. Their hearts were extremely shocked.Although the Lord of the Netherworld's Real Body Descending Ceremony had been disrupted by Zhuowen, causing him to hatch prematurely, his strength was still at the level of a half-step Second Wheel Ultimate Emperor. Even if the five of them joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for such an existence. However, Zhuowen had completely crippled the Lord of the Netherworld by himself!"Brother Feng!It seems like our Nine Dragons City no longer has a chance in this battle for the Vitality Tower. Who would have thought that a low-level city would have such a monstrous freak like Zhuowen? It's not a shame that we lost! "Zhou Li sighed.Feng Long's face was filled with disappointment when he heard this. He knew that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to compete with Zhuowen for the Lord of the Netherworld's heart. He would only end up being killed instantly if he went over!"Eh?That Lord of the Netherworld is a little strange. Oh no, he actually self-destructed! "At this moment, Feng Long suddenly saw the body of the Lord of the Netherworld expanding continuously in the giant pit in the distance. After it had expanded to its limit, it directly exploded, causing a rain of blood to scatter in the air!Feng Long and the others were far enough away that they weren't affected by the self-destruction of the Lord of the Netherworld. However, Zhuowen, who was the closest to the explosion, was sent flying by the force of the explosion.At the same time, after the explosion, Feng Long squinted his eyes and immediately noticed a pitch-black heart that was several feet in size at the bottom of the giant pit. The strange thing was that this heart was still beating continuously, and it seemed to be full of vitality!"The Lord of the Netherworld's heart?"Feng Long's heart tightened when he saw the giant heart at the bottom of the giant pit in the distance. His gaze was fixed on the heart that was still beating, and a trace of greed and hope appeared on his face.This was the heart of the Netherworld King!It was the key to controlling the entire Sandstone Island. As long as they could obtain the heart and bring it to the altar at the top of the Netherworld Castle, they would be able to control the Sandstone Island and ascend to the second floor of the Vitality Tower. This was the most important thing that would determine whether or not Nine Dragons City would be able to ascend to the next level.Standing beside Feng Long, Zhou Li and the rest followed Feng Long's line of sight. When they saw the gigantic heart, their expressions changed."Big Brother Feng, let's not think about it!The Netherworld King was killed by Zhuowen, so his heart should belong to Zhuowen.Furthermore, with Zhuowen's terrifying strength, even if the five of us were to join forces to snatch it, our chances of snatching it would be less than 65%. "Although Zhou Li longed for the Heart of the Lord of Hades, her rationality told her that it was basically impossible for her to snatch the heart from Zhuowen!Unexpectedly, Feng Long shook his head and stared fixedly at Zhuowen who was standing in the rain of blood in the distance. He said, "If it were any other time, we would indeed have no chance to snatch the Heart of the Lord of Hades from Zhuowen!However, could it be that all of you haven't noticed that Zhuowen isn't in a good state right now? ""Logically speaking, with Zhuowen's eyesight, after the Netherworld King detonated himself, he should be able to quickly discover the heart below!However, Zhuowen didn't notice it. Instead, his emotions became unstable!I'm afraid that the Netherworld King held back before he detonated himself. "As Feng Long spoke up to here, a trace of a bright light flashed through his eyes. Although he didn't know what the Netherworld King had done to Zhuowen to cause Zhuowen to be in a daze, he knew that his chance to seize the Netherworld King's heart had arrived!"Could it be that Zhuowen did it on purpose for us to see?" Zhou Li questioned."With Zhuowen's strength, there's utterly no need for him to put on an act for us. After all, so long as he was willing, he could even kill the five of us. Why would he need to care about us?"Feng Long became more and more certain, and his gaze became even more fervent as he stared at the Netherworld King's heart. He knew that as long as he obtained the heart, then Ninth Dragon City wouldn't be eliminated and would possess the qualifications to enter the second level of the Origin Tower!Boom!Right at this moment, a powerful and strange aura suddenly surged out explosively from Zhuowen's body in the distance. After that, Feng Long and the others noticed to their astonishment that a blood red barrier had actually appeared in an area of over 655m around Zhuowen. A familiar energy of the heavens and the earth instantly filled the area."This is … the aura of a tribulation of the heavens and the earth?Has Zhuowen started to overcome the tribulation of the heavens and the earth?Could it be that this fellow isn't an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator but a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator? "Feng Long had just experienced a tribulation of the heavens and the earth not too long ago, so he naturally remembered the aura of the tribulation of the heavens and the earth. When Zhuowen began to undergo the tribulation of the heavens and the earth, he knew with a single glance that it was an aura unique to a tribulation of the heavens and the earth.However, what truly shocked Feng Long wasn't that Zhuowen was undergoing the tribulation of the heavens and the earth, but that Zhuowen was actually a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. He clearly remembered that Zhuowen had used the energy of the heavens and the earth on the first floor of Nether Castle. Could it be that Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators could also control the energy of the heavens and the earth?Just what kind of freak is this fellow?He's clearly just a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, but he's able to control the energy of the heavens and the earth that only Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators can control. Moreover, he's only a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, yet he's able to defeat the Netherworld King who's comparable to a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. If this fellow succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, then wouldn't his strength be comparable to a Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator?Feng Long's emotions were extremely complicated when he thought up to this point. At the same time, he began to hesitate whether or not he should seize the Netherworld King's heart from Zhuowen!"Big Brother Feng!This Zhuowen is too monstrous. I'm afraid it's not worth offending such a monstrous genius for the sake of the Netherworld King's heart. Why don't we retreat? "Zhou Li's heart was extremely clear at this moment. The monstrous talent of Zhuowen in front of her was definitely something she had never seen before in her life. As long as such a person didn't die midway, he would definitely become one of the strongest cultivators in the Qing Xuan Empire in the future. Moreover, the talent that Zhuowen had displayed wasn't inferior to some of the geniuses on the Azure Emperor Rankings.If Zhuowen was given a few more years, he might even be able to enter the Azure Emperor Rankings. At that time, he would be an extremely dazzling monstrous genius in the entire Qing Xuan Empire. Sometimes, offending such a genius wasn't worth it.Feng Long stared fixedly at the slender figure in the distance who was in the midst of the tribulation of the heavens and the earth. Out of the corner of his eye, he constantly paid attention to the giant heart in the deep pit in the distance.He, Feng Long, was the team leader of the Nine Dragons City team and also the most dazzling genius in the city. He really didn't want to disappoint the Nine Dragons City and his hopeful father.Now that he had finally arrived at the third level of the Netherworld Castle and the key to controlling the entire Sandstone Island had quietly appeared in front of him, he really wasn't willing to let it go just like that!"Zhou Li!You don't have to say anymore. I must obtain the Netherworld King's heart. I, Feng Long, am not willing to stop at the first level of the Vitality Tower!As for that Zhuowen, although his talent is monstrous, he was only born in a low-level city and has no background at all. Our Nine Dragons City isn't afraid of him at all! ""Moreover, once we obtain the Netherworld King's heart, we will immediately control the Sandstone Island to break through the sky and soar into the sky. At that time, Zhuowen will definitely be directly teleported out of the Vitality Tower. Even if he holds a grudge in his heart, there's nothing he can do!As for outside the Vitality Tower, with the might of our Nine Dragons City, Zhuowen won't dare to act rashly. So … "At this point, Feng Long's eyes were filled with a fiery passion. With a stomp of his foot, he rushed toward the deep pit in the distance."So, we don't need to be afraid of Zhuowen's revenge at all. After all, in this world, the strength of an individual is too insignificant. If this Zhuowen is smart, he definitely won't offend our Nine Dragons City too much!"Seeing that Feng Long didn't listen to her advice and was determined to obtain the Netherworld King's heart, Zhou Li felt a little helpless in her heart. However, she didn't oppose it. Zhuowen's strength and talent made her rather wary, but after all, the former was only from a low-level city.Perhaps they weren't Zhuowen's match in the Vitality Tower, but once outside the Vitality Tower, their Nine Dragons City's influence was enough to suppress Zhuowen to the point that he wouldn't dare to seek revenge. Therefore, as long as they successfully obtained the Netherworld King's heart, this Zhuowen wouldn't be a threat anymore!… …An endless rain of blood fell from the boundless blood-red land. A slender figure looked up at the sky with blurred eyes. In that blood-red vision, Zhuowen saw countless resentful faces, endless roars, and endless curses. Those were the faces of all the people he had killed.With blurred eyes, Zhuowen suddenly looked at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces and muttered, "All of you … also think that I'm wrong?""Yes!You're wrong. From the moment your hands were stained with blood, you've already embarked on the wrong path! ""Now, only death can wash away the sins on your body. Therefore, you should just die!Only then can you atone for your past actions! ""… …"The rain of blood accompanied by the blood-red faces constantly swayed in front of Zhuowen's eyes, and Zhuowen became even more confused!"Do all of you who died by my hands have the right to say that I'm wrong?"Suddenly, Zhuowen covered his head with both hands and roared in a low voice. This roar seemed to have been suppressed for a long time …Boom!Zhuo Wen covered his head with both hands and suddenly smashed it to the ground. Streams of mournful blood flowed down from the ends of his hair. The intense pain instantly caused Zhuo Wen's mind to become much clearer at this moment!"Wrong?Perhaps the one who's wrong isn't me, but this world!In this world where the strong are respected and the weak are eaten by the strong, if you don't resist and struggle, then you'll only end up being slowly eroded by others!In this world, you either continuously become stronger and become a powerhouse who can break through everything, or continuously fall and become a weakling at the bottom who will slowly be annihilated! "As he spoke, Zhuowen suddenly raised his head and took a step forward. A powerful aura burst out from his body, and at this moment, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.

"The Lord of the Netherworld … has really been defeated!"

Feng Long muttered to himself with a dry mouth as he stared at the motionless body of the Lord of the Netherworld in the giant pit in the distance.

Has Zhuowen started to overcome the tribulation of the heavens and the earth?
