The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

252. We Can Sell Fruit in the Future

Translator: 飞弹

Emperor God’s Finger was the unique skill of King of the Netherworld, which made him famous.

Or it should be said that it was the only finger martial art of King of the Netherworld that people knew. The strong power of Emperor God’s Finger was unquestionable that even Sophora was afraid of it, but this did not mean that King of the Netherworld had no other abilities.

The people in the Three Worlds only knew that King of the Netherworld had a powerful finger martial art, because King of the Netherworld had used it in the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago. However, no one knew that beyond Emperor God’s Finger, there was World-beater’s Finger, which was an upgraded version of Emperor God’s Finger. No one knew that even Sophora was not qualified to let him use it at that time.

The natural energy in the air wasn’t the purest energy of the Three Worlds. It actually contained a trace of Purple Energy in it.

The hint of Purple Energy had created all things, and it had an important influence in the formation of any world. At the same time, the hint of Purple Energy also had a violent side. If it was not used properly, it would be easy to explode and cause great damage to the user.

However, it was not that easy to extract this hint of Purple Energy. So, even if those who had entered the ultimate realm knew how powerful the Purple Energy was, almost none of them would try and extract it, which was the kiss of death for them. Because if any link of it went wrong, the Purple Energy would trigger the explosion of the surrounding Spiritual Energy, and then there would be lethal disasters such as the crack of time and space.

Sophora and Shyliren did not expect that King of the Netherworld’s World-beater’s Finger needed to extract power from Purple Energy.

This move immediately scared the two of them to death. No matter whether King of the Netherworld succeeded or not, they would not have an easy time. Therefore, there were only two options for them now. One was to immediately break out of the World of Ink, and the other was to stop King of the Netherworld from using the World-beater’s Finger. But both of the options had a very low success rate.

“King of the Netherworld, do you know that if you fail, the sweetheart behind you will also die? Do you want your sweetheart and us to perish together?” Shyliren roared madly. His undertaking was not yet successful, so how could he die here? He finally understood that King of the Netherworld would actually do so much in order to kill him.

He was right. In order not to let slip what his sweetheart had done in the Little Sun, King of the Netherworld must kill Shyliren. Therefore, he would use World-beater’s Finger to deal with them. Although Emperor God’s Finger was powerful, it was still not lethal enough to kill Shyliren with a single blow. So he would play his strong card: World-beater’s Finger.

Under World-beater’s Finger, whether one would live or die depended on King of the Netherworld!

But if King of the Netherworld was not sure about his skills, would he attack in this way?

Shyliren actually underestimated King of the Netherworld. If he didn’t have total confidence in it, King of the Netherworld would never use it. Since he would use World-beater’s Finger that could destroy the world, it meant that he had absolute confidence to control it. Sophora was more aware of it than Shyliren.

Although Sophora had not been in contact with King of the Netherworld for long, he knew that King of the Netherworld must be such a cautious person.

Seeing that King of the Netherworld was totally undisturbed, Shyliren clenched his teeth to figure out the key. King of the Netherworld didn’t want him to leave here alive because of that secret, so he would take the risk to use such a powerful skill. It could be seen that King of the Netherworld was planning to let the secret in Little Sun be unknown forever.

However, he also knew that his previous guess was wrong. If King of the Netherworld really wanted to kill him, it was impossible for King of the Netherworld to just let Ice Qilin injure him first and then let him escape. King of the Netherworld should have appeared at that time, but he hadn’t. So it was most probably a coincidence that King of the Netherworld would show up in the World of Ink.

“King of the Netherworld, as long as you let me off, I can swear that I will never tell anyone about what happened in Little Sun. And you should know that I can’t go against the Way of Heaven since I swear to it. As long as you let me off, I can also pledge that I won’t have any designs on the Netherworld, the Underworld and the Ghost World. As long as you spare me…”

Shyliren was really scared. He had not yet completed his great plan, and he had a hard time escaping from the Degenerate God Ravine. How could he die here like this? No, he couldn’t. He had to think of a way to leave alive.

“Shyliren, do you still have any dignity?” Sophora’s sarcastic voice came from behind him.

“Shut up,” Shyliren turned back and gave him a murderous look.

“Humph, no matter how many vows you take, it’s useless. The things that King of the Netherworld has decided will not change. In his eyes, you are already dead and only a dead man wouldn’t speak. Couldn’t you even understand this principle?” Sophora sneered at Shyliren who looked pale instantly, and he couldn’t help but feel a trace of delight in his heart.

Sophora disdained Shyliren who was cowardly seeking for life. In his eyes, in order to seek for life, Shyliren could give up his dignity and ask the other party to spare himself, who was absolutely not dignified as a powerhouse. Sophora felt himself being really stupid that he would have cooperated with him before. Such a person might even stab him in the back at any time. Sophora had really seen Shyliren in his true colors.

Sophora would not beg King of the Netherworld for mercy. If he gave up his dignity and lowered his head to the enemy to save his own skin, what would be the point of his life? So he would rather die standing than live kneeling. This was Sophora’s dignity, and no one was allowed to trample on it!

“I won’t give up!” Shyliren roared and snapped with great momentum.

Sophora glanced at him sarcastically. What was the point of struggling at this time? But… Sophora glanced across at the superior King of the Netherworld whoi was like a bright sliver bead. It was no wonder that he didn’t see such a powerful finger martial art when he was fighting with him for the first time. Maybe Sophora was not qualified to make King of the Netherworld used it on him at that time, but now he could see it, thanks to Shyliren.

Sophora admitted that he was really beaten by King of the Netherworld completely.

He actually didn’t feel uncomfortable when he admitted it. He looked back at what he had done during tens of thousands of years in an instant, and found that there were only two words that could describe his whole story, which were “stubborn pride”!

Because of the stubborn pride, he let himself live in the jail for ten thousand years like a cornered animal. The difference was that the animal only lost its physical freedom, while he lost his spiritual freedom. How long those years were!

The purple beam of light blazed towards Shyliren with flashes of silver lightning. The devastating energy dashed against the surrounding space. Even the space blockade imposed by King of the Netherworld himself couldn’t withstand the power of the first move of World-beater’s Finger and it collapsed. One could imagine how powerful the strength of World-beater’s Finger was. The purple light beam locked onto Shyliren and smashed into his shield. At the same time, it broke the space and blazed out of the World of Ink with Shyliren who was also knocked away from the world. Everywhere the purple light beam went was vibrating with the mountains and rivers disintegrating.

‘Wait…’

Sophora was wide awake and suddenly realized that he seemed to be fine.

Hadn’t King of the Netherworld been planning to kill him and Shyliren both? Sophora raised his head and looked in astonishment at King of the Netherworld who was levitating in the high sky, only to find that King of the Netherworld didn’t even glance at him from first to last. This discovery made his throat bitter and astringent. He remembered the “fact” that were made up by a young boy in Emerald Dragon Mountains.

As soon as Shyliren died, the others naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer. They all gave up fighting with Feng Xi and prepared to escape.

Feng Xi had long seen what happened on their side. However, he did not stop, instead, he forcefully stuffed the Black Souls of the Evil Family into the mouth of the Azure Beast, which was almost a blow to the enthusiasm of the Azure Beast. ‘Isn’t the master afraid that I’m stuffed with too many souls?’

“No! Master! My stomach is too full!” Azure Beast rubbed his bloated belly and fell to the ground.

In fact, it was just that he had not digested the souls, which would only take a little time. But he was really afraid that his master would stuff the souls into its mouth without caring about much. He was willing to eat them by himself instead of being stuffed, which was really disgusting.

Feng Xi glanced at him. “I’ll help you step on your belly.”

“No,” Azure Beast immediately jumped up. After all, he was clear that his master wouldn’t show mercy when he stepped on his belly, “But Master, why are you so desperate? These Black Souls are only small potatoes in the Evil Family.”

“You’re really stupid. Have you forgotten that Huo Fengxuan and Qing Cang still have that bet with me? The competition has started since the beginning of the bet. I manage to encounter the Evil Family members here. How can I not work hard? Anyway, I am also a patriarch. I need to set a good example for them!” Feng Xi patted the Azure Beast hard on its head as if he wanted to see whether he could make the Azure Beast smarter by patting.

“Y-you’re so smart, Master! We should ask his Majesty to stop the Red Souls,” said the Azure Beast, who ran off in a hurry.

“Yes, you’re right. Boss! Don’t let the people from the Evil Family escape!” Feng Xi immediately waved at King of the Netherworld in the distance and shouted at him.

Without Feng Xi’s reminder, King of the Netherworld also knew that he couldn’t let them off. As early as Feng Xi shouted, King of the Netherworld had already immobilized them. These mere Red Souls were still unable to get rid of the Law of Time.

Feng Xi ran to King of the Netherworld with four bags filled with spiritual fruit, followed by Hairless Chicken and the others. As for the Spring Heart, when he saw the battle was over, he just got up from the top of Tree of the World. He was a typical useless waste in a battle. As a result, he was knocked away by Tree of the World. Feng Xi hadn’t run over there yet while the Spring Heart was already flying in the air, squeaking with fear, and finally fell to the ground not far away under King of the Netherworld’s feet.

Feng Xi laughed and stepped on it. Before the Spring Heart could scream, the Azure Beast copied Feng Xi’s behavior and stepped on it too. Then there was Hairless Chicken who also stamped on it. When the Sky Breaking Beast wanted to step on it, the Spring Heart was so frightened that he immediately ran away without even daring to scream. And the Sky Breaking Beast expressed deep regret at it.

“Boss, we can sell snacks in the future if we can’t finish them,” Feng Xi threw himself into King of the Netherworld’s arms and laughed proudly.

“Xiao Xi, it seems that you have gained a lot,” King of the Netherworld hugged him and rubbed his head a few times. The coldness on his face was replaced by a gentle smile and he was no longer the person whom Sophora had known.

“Of course, apart from these snacks, I’ve also got a lot of Black Souls. Ha ha…”

They were caught by Feng Xi with his own strength, while the Azure Beast was just a bottle to contain those Black Souls for him. Feng Xi couldn’t tell others how happy he was now!

“Those are not snacks…”

Behind him was the weak voice of Tree of the World, but no one noticed him. Everyone now was immersed in joy.
