Chapter 1228: Chapter 1231 Lord of Hatred_1 Chapter 1228: Chapter 1231 Lord of Hatred_1 Legend has it that there are Nine Lords of the Abyss lurking in depths beneath the earth.

Each of these nine lords is a paragon amongst god kings, superior in strength.

The strongest among them even possess the power of a Quasi-sovereign!

The Quasi-sovereign, also known as the half-step sovereign, two names for essentially the same thing.

The King of Hatred in the underground dungeon is one of the top three among the Nine Lords of the Abyss.

His strength, not far off from a Quasi-sovereign, even exceeds Lusman and Nine Ghost King.

The fact that the Imperial Clan could establish a foothold in the underground dungeon was due to the friendship between the King of Hatred and Qingtian Sovereign.

…

It was his sealed underground dungeon.

Therefore, the arrival of the Lord of Hatred made God’s eyes light up.

The rest of the god kings, however, were on full alert.

If the incoming person truly is the Lord of Hatred, they must deal with him carefully.

The people from Eight Great Hammers gathered together, ready for combat.

If a conflict occurred, the four of them would join forces without hesitation.

They never showed such tension when facing any other god king, which speaks volumes about the power of the Lord of Hatred.

This force landed on the surface, revealing its form.

Two heads, eight arms, a terrifying expression, reminiscent of a fierce ghost.

The Lord of Hatred is neither Human Clan nor Demon Clan, technically speaking, the Abyss Clan can be considered a branch of the Demon Clan.

However, they are not true demons, but a unique clan unto themselves.

The physical forms of this clan are diverse, and in their eyes, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness.

All growth and evolution are geared towards the most advantageous form for battle.

The better suited for battle, the better it is.

After the Lord of Hatred descended, he first turned his gaze toward God.

A ring of eyes hovered above his head, a ghastly green, unimaginably terrifying.

His fanged mouth twisted into a smile.

His fiery red tongue flickered, reminding one of a venomous snake’s forked tongue.

“He he!

God, you haven’t visited the Abyss in a long time.”

God also felt somewhat uncomfortable with the Lord of Hatred’s appearance, but still managed a smile: “Brother, you’ve been hiding in your palace for a long time.”

“The outside world, mundane matters are hardly worth my time, save for Qingtian senior’s return, none are worthy of a personal visit.”

The countless eyes of the Lord of Hatred spun wildly before finally settling.

“God, you young ones are rather unfair, you destroyed my Imperial Palace.

Even though I seldom reside there, it does hurt my pride.”

“Ah!

There were reasons behind this incident, we hope you won’t hold this against us.”

This time, all of God’s companions began to explain, ultimately shifting the blame onto Lin Zhen.

The Lord of Hatred raised a claw and waved dismissively: “I am well aware of the situation, that’s exactly why I’m here.”

With that, the Lord of Hatred turned to the others: “Your current approach is probably playing right into this man’s hands.

If you want to deal with him, a united front is essential.”

Lusman and the others, of course, understand that their current tactics are flawed, but with no recognizable leader among them, it’s difficult to orchestrate a cohesive plan.

Now that the Lord of Hatred is here, Lusman didn’t want to escalate the tension.

So, he asked, “Brother Hatred, since you’re here today, could you lead us?

What should we do?”

The Lord of Hatred’s chilling gaze swept over Lin Zhen: “This Ghost Face King’s strength is actually average, but his combat skills and weapons are difficult to deal with.

A frontal assault might result in some damage, and bringing him down one-on-one will definitely not be easy.”

His gaze then shifted back to Lusman and the others, the sight of this many-eyed creature was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

“Lusman, you and your Eight Great Hammers have stirred quite a storm on Witch Star over the years.

If I’m not mistaken, you have a combined attack technique, don’t you?

If it’s not a problem, share it with me.”

Lusman nodded: “We do have one method.

If four of us attack together, even some Sovereigns could resist the power of a single strike, but this guy is very slippery.

It won’t be easy to hit him straight on.”

The Lord of Hatred nodded: “It’s okay, this kind of attack should be enough to take this guy down.

Then you all prepare, before you make your move, we four will suppress him together, then you give the fatal blow.

Whatever we get, we’ll split evenly between us eight.”

Lusman was still hesitant, the Lord of Hatred’s eyes flashed with fierce light: “Lusman, you can ask around, when have my words not counted?

Although we the Abyss Clan are rather vicious, we are not despicable.”

Lusman bit his teeth: “Alright, if that’s the case, we’ll follow your plan.”

The eight of them quickly reached a balance.

The Lord of Hatred, the Tree God King, the Nine Ghost King, and the God, were going to attack together and suppress Lin Zhen to create the best opportunity for the Eight Great Hammers.

The people, who were originally not united, shockingly joined hands under the mediation of the Lord of Hatred.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen knew that the toughest times were about to come.

No matter what, he had to hold on.

Once he held on, the situation might change.

Over there, the Lord of Hatred and the other three had already stormed over!

What first came into view was one of the Lord of Hatred’s arms!

This arm was burning with green flames, hot yet filled with a strong aura of death.

This guy had clearly understood the essence of the Fire-element.

His arm, like a whip, lashed down hard!

Lin Zhen swung the Golden Eagle in his hand to meet it, Open!

A thunder-like noise echoed in the air.

It seemed like Lin Zhen’s head was filled with an explosion of thunder, as his body was flung away!

The Lord of Hatred’s divine power vastly exceeded Lin Zhen’s.

However, Lin Zhen had the protection of the Primordial Chaos Armor, with the lotus blossoming on his body, this hit didn’t cause much damage, and it was within the range he could cope with.

“Hehe!

Not bad, but it’s a pity you don’t have a chance anymore.”

Aoao!!

Two Sky Ghosts suddenly pounced from behind, tightly grabbing hold of Lin Zhen’s shoulders.

This was the Nine Ghost King seizing the opportunity.

Lin Zhen tried hard to swing his sword, severing the arm of the Sky Ghost.

But the delay allowed the Tree God King to reach him, as the Six-foot Staff hit hard on Lin Zhen’s shoulder!

Even with the blocking of the Primordial Chaos Armor, Lin Zhen could still feel the intense pain.

Get off me!

A mental shock came from the Sun, Moon, and Stars rings on Lin Zhen’s head, striking the Tree God King.

For a moment, the Tree God King was stupefied, unable to withstand Lin Zhen’s impact.

But before Lin Zhen could retaliate, God’s sword stabbed over from behind.

Teleport!

Lin Zhen wanted to teleport to dodge, but a tentacle from the Lord of Hatred suddenly locked onto one of Lin Zhen’s legs, disrupting his teleportation!

Attempting to counter-attack was blocked by the Soul Banner of the Nine Ghost King.
