Chapter 466: Defeating the Divine Level Netherworld Lord

“Huh? Someone found me?”

The Netherworld Lord said in surprise.

He hadn’t expected that besides the Residual Soul of the Meteor Ancestor, there was actually someone else here who could discover him.

Curiously, the Netherworld Lord looked down.

But the next second…

A giant golden hand erupted from the ground and viciously slapped toward the void rift where he was hiding.

“What?”

The Netherworld Lord’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly waved his hands to defend.

He thought he could easily block the attack, but the moment it made contact, he felt an unimaginably powerful pressure.

BAM!

With a deafening crash, the void rift was shattered by the blow.

“What terrifying power!”

The Netherworld Lord’s entire body went numb as he stared at the ground in shock.

If not for his immense power and the vast expanse of the void separating them, that last palm strike could have likely injured his true body.

On the ground, Su Mo was also shocked.

Holy shit!

This guy actually withstood his True Dragon Venerable Fist.

‘He’s pretty strong!’

After all, when the King of Reincarnation had burned his bloodline and reached the power of a Mid Stage Saint Tier, Su Mo had smashed him directly into a pulp with his True Dragon Venerable Fist.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

Su Mo asked curiously.

The Netherworld Lord said coldly, “I am the Netherworld Lord of Yama Hall.”

“The Yama Hall Netherworld Master?”

Su Mo’s eyes lit up.

‘No wonder this guy’s so strong. So he’s the King of Reincarnation’s direct superior.’

“And who are you?”

the Netherworld Lord asked.

Su Mo replied lazily, “The name’s Su Mo of Qingyang City, and it’s not changing. You can also call me Alliance Leader Su of the Xiao Alliance.”

“The Xiao Alliance?”

The Netherworld Lord’s brow furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

He had never heard of a Sacred Land called the Xiao Alliance.

‘Could it be that Su Mo is some old monster?’

‘That’s not right either!’

‘He had been lying low in the Cangxuan Realm for a full thirty thousand years. He knew a thing or two about all the old monsters, but he’d never heard of Su Mo.’

“You don’t know? You can go ask the King of Reincarnation. He knows me best!”

Su Mo said.

The Netherworld Lord said coldly, “Brat, are you trying to mock me? That useless King of Reincarnation has long been dead.”

“My bad. I got a little carried away and forgot I’d smashed him to dust.”

Su Mo had a look of mock embarrassment on his face.

The Netherworld Lord said in shock, “What? You killed the King of Reincarnation?”

Su Mo nodded. “That’s right. I killed him with my own hands. I originally wanted to leave his corpse intact, but who knew he couldn’t take a hit? However…”

“However what?”

the Netherworld Lord asked.

Su Mo’s eyes gleamed as he said excitedly, “It looks like you can take a hit. You’re worthy of being my opponent. Now, I’m going to fight you.”

He had never, ever met a worthy opponent.

Not even the Meteor Ancestor’s Residual Soul was worthy.

Now that he’d finally found a seemingly equal match, he naturally had to have a good fight to test his own strength.

“What? You want to fight me?”

The Netherworld Lord was filled with rage.

Even the Divine Level old monsters at the apex of the Cangxuan Realm wouldn’t dare say so lightly that they wanted to fight him.

Yet, Su Mo had.

This was simply an act of unthinkable audacity.

For a moment, the Netherworld Lord was so furious his eyes bulged. He glared at Su Mo like a venomous snake, wishing he could eat him alive.

“You’re strong, worthy of my full power. True Dragon Supreme Fist Skill—Kill!”

Su Mo unleashed a palm strike toward the Netherworld Lord.

RUMBLE!

The terrifying Palm Force tore through the void, slapping viciously toward the Netherworld Lord.

“Netherworld Kill!”

Not daring to be careless, the Netherworld Lord immediately channeled his Divine Power, revealing his terrifying strength.

Instantly, the world plunged into darkness.

Countless rays of black light, hidden within the world, were drawn forth by the Netherworld Lord like a vast ocean to meet Su Mo’s palm.

The next second…

BOOM!

Su Mo’s palm descended, actually slapping away the sky-filling black light and scattering it.

The sky abruptly cleared.

“What?”

The Netherworld Lord was stunned.

‘But I’m a Divine Level existence!’

Even when attacking from across the void, he could easily suppress a peak Saint Level expert.

And yet, in his clash with Su Mo, he had come out on the losing end.

Su Mo, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

That palm strike had been a full-power attack using his True Dragon Supreme Fist Skill, yet the Netherworld Lord had blocked it with ease.

“You really are strong!”

Su Mo roared with excitement, “Netherworld Lord, here I come again!”

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo appeared before the Netherworld Lord.

“You… What kind of Body Technique is this?”

The Netherworld Lord was utterly stunned.

Although he couldn’t display his full power from across the void, as a Divine Level being, no one should have been able to escape his sight.

But Su Mo had.

With his Divine Level vision, he had somehow failed to track the trajectory of Su Mo’s Body Technique.

That was a fatal flaw.

In a battle between experts, the smallest weakness could determine life or death.

If his true body were here and Su Mo ambushed him with that Body Technique, he could very well be killed on the spot.

“True Dragon Venerable Fist!”

Without hesitation, Su Mo smashed a fist toward the Netherworld Lord at point-blank range.

“ROAR!”

The Netherworld Lord let out an furious roar, using all his might to block Su Mo’s punch.

Then, Su Mo vanished again.

When he reappeared, he was holding a withered blade of grass.

Su Mo said with admiration, “You’ve blocked three of my fist techniques in a row. Not bad at all. Now, let’s see how you handle my swordsmanship.”

“True Dragon Supreme Swordsmanship!”

Su Mo swung the withered blade of grass in his hand, unleashing a beam of sword light.

“Damn it!”

The Netherworld Lord cursed, his face livid.

‘This isn’t a fight at all.’

‘Su Mo is just using me as a punching bag to test the power of his techniques! After the fist techniques, now he’s starting with swordsmanship!’

SHHIIING!

The Netherworld Lord mobilized his Divine Power and slashed out with a black beam of sword light.

BOOM!

The two beams of sword light clashed in the void. After holding for only thirty seconds, the Netherworld Lord’s black sword light dissipated.

“What?”

The Netherworld Lord’s face fell in horror.

‘My sword light, empowered by Divine Power, was actually obliterated by Su Mo.’

‘And he did it with a withered blade of grass!’

‘Doesn’t this mean his mastery of the Sword Dao is far beyond my own?’

‘How is that possible?’

SHHIIING!

The remnant power of Su Mo’s sword light viciously struck the Netherworld Lord’s chest, piercing straight through him.

Instantly, more than half of the Netherworld Lord’s power dissipated.

The wound on his chest dissolved into motes of black light, scattering in the wind like flowing water.

“You…”

The Netherworld Lord stared at Su Mo, both shocked and furious, as his body gradually became transparent.

Su Mo said anxiously, “Hey, don’t leave! I still have several more techniques I haven’t even used yet. Let me finish fighting you before you go!”

“Gah!”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, the Netherworld Lord was so enraged he nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

‘Fucking hell! He’s really treating me like a goddamn punching bag, isn’t he?’

‘This is outrageous!’

“Brat, I will remember you. Your name is Su Mo. I hope you’re still this arrogant the next time we meet.”

The Netherworld Lord gave one last, icy warning before gradually fading away into the void rift.

The void rift sealed shut.

Su Mo sighed in resignation. “Ugh, I finally found a powerful opponent, and he ran off so quickly. Just my luck.”

PTUI!

Miles and miles away, the Netherworld Lord’s true body was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

‘Dammit!’

‘I’m clearly the unlucky one here!’

‘I came here to investigate the cause of the King of Reincarnation’s death, and I ended up getting thrashed like a human punching bag while Su Mo tested out his Cultivation Techniques!’

‘And yet Su Mo turns around and claims that *he’s* the one with bad luck!’

‘It’s completely absurd!’
