Chapter 649: with translation of chapter title

Rush—

Rush—

Countless order chains entwine, and silk threads hang down from the Hellfire Divine Tree.

-> "Countless order chains entwined, plus the threads hanging down from the Hellfire Divine Tree."

It is the condensed origin of Hell, slowly intertwining like a knitted sweater, forming a humanoid shape.

-> "That is the Hell Origin's rules condensed, slowly intertwining, like weaving a sweater, forming a humanoid shape."

The terrifying origin aura manifests as a ring-shaped shockwave, continuously spreading in all directions.

-> "The terrifying origin aura began to manifest as ring-shaped shockwaves, continuously spreading in all directions."

A slight impact in the void causes space to ripple, making even the howling sounds begin to stagnate.

-> "Each slight impact in the void caused space to ripple, making the howling sound begin to stagnate."

That is the aura's pressure, the will of immortality, the undying breath!

-> "That is the origin's might, the will of immortality, the undying aura!"

Origin immortal!

-> "Origin undying!"

Hell immortal corpse!

-> "Hell undying corpse!"

Following the Hell Divine Spirit Corpse, the silk threads of the Hellfire Divine Tree and the order chains of Hell's origin condensed into the Hell Immortal Corpse.

-> "After the Hell Divine Spirit Corpse, the threads of the Hellfire Divine Tree and the order chains of the Hell Origin condensed into the Hell Undying Corpse."

This is the situation Li Che worries about most.

-> "This is the situation Li Che worries about most."

The power blocking his approach to the Hellfire Divine Tree will grow stronger and stronger, eventually becoming limitless.

-> "The power blocking his approach to the Hellfire Divine Tree will grow stronger and stronger, until it seems limitless."

Undoubtedly, from the original Divine Fire Realm spirit corpse to now the immortal corpse, this makes Li Che feel immense pressure.

-> "Undoubtedly, from the original Divine Fire Realm spirit corpse to now the undying corpse, Li Che feels immense pressure."

Because, with the appearance of the Earth Immortal-level immortal corpse, it suggests that a Heaven Immortal-level immortal corpse may appear next…

-> "Because, with the appearance of the Earth-tier Undying Corpse, it suggests that a Heaven-tier Undying Corpse may appear next..."

Even up to, an Emperor-level immortal corpse!

-> "Even an Imperial-rank Undying Corpse!"

Of course…

-> "Of course..."

The probability of an Emperor-level immortal corpse appearing is very small, but it cannot be said to be nonexistent.

-> "The probability of an Imperial-rank Undying Corpse appearing is small, but it cannot be said to be nonexistent."

Simply the appearance of an immortal corpse is already troublesome enough to become a major obstacle blocking Li Che's approach to the Hellfire Divine Tree.

-> "Merely the appearance of an undying corpse is already troublesome, enough to become a major obstacle blocking Li Che's approach to the Hellfire Divine Tree."

This is something Li Che truly did not anticipate.

-> "This is something Li Che truly did not anticipate."

Golden qi and blood slowly coil up from his body, but the Hell Dao Fruit in his chest overflows with Hell's origin, helping Li Che conceal his aura.

-> "Golden qi and blood slowly coiled up from his body, but the Hell Dao Fruit in his chest overflowed with Hell Origin, helping Li Che conceal his aura."

Thus, the rolling golden qi and blood like golden war smoke displayed by the Heaven-Opening Martial Immortal also bears a hint of black Hell's origin outlining it.

-> "Thus, the rolling golden qi and blood of the Open Heaven Martial Immortal, like golden beacon smoke, also bears a faint black outline of Hell Origin."

"Hell Immortal Corpse..."

-> "\"Hell Undying Corpse... \""

"That's actually interesting; this Hellfire Divine Tree truly is a mighty divine tree of the Upper Two Saints, the strongest divine tree in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even in the Netherworld!"

-> "\"Actually quite interesting; this Hellfire Divine Tree, worthy of being a mighty divine tree of the Upper Two Saints, is the strongest divine tree in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even in the Netherworld! \""

Li Che exclaimed in admiration.

-> "Li Che exclaimed in admiration."

Although the situation has turned worse, for Li Che this situation is still within his expectations.

-> "Although the situation turned dire, for Li Che it was still within expectation."

Boom—

-> "Boom—"

Li Che clenched his five fingers, his golden qi and blood exploded, the heaven-and-earth chessboard shrouded the battle inside Hell, and his whole person suddenly transformed into a raging dragon!

-> "Li Che clenched his five fingers, golden qi and blood exploded, the Heaven-Earth Chessboard concealed the battle within Hell, and his whole person suddenly transformed into a raging dragon!"

Then he transformed into a terrifying ancient mammoth, trampling down fiercely, the air seeming to be instantly crushed and burst.

-> "Then he transformed into a terrifying ancient mammoth, trampling down fiercely, the air as if instantly crushed to bursting."

In Li Che's eyes, golden lightning seemed to burst forth.

-> "In Li Che's eyes, golden lightning seemed to burst forth."

His formidable battle power fully displayed, as a second-tier heavenly immortal, his strength is enough to rival an Heaven Immortal.

-> "His formidable battle power fully displayed; as a Second-Heaven Profound Immortal, his strength rivals that of a Heavenly Undying."

This move came crashing down, instantly blasting the immortal corpse condensed from the Hellfire Divine Tree outward with explosive force.

-> "This move crashed down, instantly blasting the Hellfire Divine Tree's condensed undying corpse outward with a violent impact."

His form, like a meteor, fiercely struck the Hellfire Divine Tree.

-> "His form, like a meteor, slammed hard onto the Hellfire Divine Tree."

Li Che watched coldly as strands of golden hair flew up like seaweed swaying, his fighting spirit soaring to the extreme.

-> "Li Che watched coldly as strands of golden hair flew up, swaying like seaweed, his fighting spirit soaring to the extreme."

Behind him, his spine rose like a dragon and roared skyward, with each roar, qi and blood vortices began to swirl.

-> "Behind him, his spine like a dragon roared upward; with the roar, one after another qi and blood vortex began to swirl."

Each immortal martial mystic orifice burst forth with vast amounts of golden qi and blood.

-> "Each extraordinary martial aperture burst forth with vast amounts of golden qi and blood."

Moreover, the origin from the entire Prison Lotus Realm surged out through those mystic orifices like a divine pillar propping up heaven and earth, shooting straight up.

-> "Besides that, the origin from the entire Hell Lotus Land surged forth from those apertures, like a divine pillar propping up heaven and earth, shooting up explosively."

Li Che's aura and power rose steadily!

-> "Li Che's aura and power rose step by step!"

"I want to see… just how powerful an immortal corpse this Hellfire Divine Tree can condense!"

-> "\"Let me see... just how powerful an undying corpse this Hellfire Divine Tree can condense! \""

Li Che clenched his fists and fiercely smashed downward.

-> "Li Che clenched his fists and fiercely smashed downward."

Instantly, the terrifying qi-blood fire pillar exploded like a nuclear blast, blazing light dazzling to the extreme.

-> "Instantly, the terrifying qi-blood fire pillar exploded like a nuclear blast, blazing light blindingly bright."

Li Che instantly surged forward with rolling tide-like qi and blood, reaching the immortal corpse, and his terrifying power instantly erupted upon it.

-> "Li Che instantly wrapped himself in rolling wave-like qi and blood, charging to the undying corpse's front, his terrifying power instantly unleashed upon it."

……

-> "..."

……

-> "..."

At the same time.

-> "Meanwhile."

Outside the Hell Abyss.

-> "Outside the Hell Abyss."

The four corpse kings erupted with powerful corpse qi and Hell's origin, constantly dancing, the clanging sounds never ceasing!

-> "Four Corpse Emperors erupted with powerful corpse qi and Hell Origin, constantly dancing wildly, the clanging sounds never ceasing!"

Thick, immense chains of order condensed from Hell's origin, as if entwining the abyss's rules, lashed out violently.

-> "Thick as can be, the order chains condensed from Hell Origin, as if entwining the abyss's rules, lashed down fiercely."

Space shattered, the void solidified, time seemed to be sealed by the chains!

-> "Space shattered, the void solidified, time seemed sealed by the chains!"

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor and Netherworld Candle Dragon, two mighty ancestral-dragon-level royal Heaven Immortals, were beaten to a sorry state.

-> "The Netherworld Dragon Emperor and Netherworld Candle Dragon, two mighty Imperial-rank Heavenly Undying at the Ancestral Dragon level, were beaten to a sorry state."

The might of the four Hell corpse kings far exceeded their expectations, nearly pressing them to the brink of falling into the abyss!

-> "The might of the four Hell Corpse Emperors far exceeded their expectations, nearly pressing them to fall into the valley!"

Boom——!!!

-> "Boom——!!!"

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor roared; after transforming into a Netherworld creature, his dragon body, corroded by death's origin into a ruined state, erupted with ferocious wounds, pain like countless steel needles piercing his dragon head.

-> "The Netherworld Dragon Emperor roared; after transforming into a Netherworld creature, his dragon body, corroded by the death origin into ruin, actually revealed ferocious wounds, pain like myriad steel needles, driven into his dragon head."

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's eyes turned blood-red, and he exhaled a dragon breath stretching ten thousand zhang.

-> "The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's eyes turned blood-red, and he exhaled a dragon breath of myriad zhang!"

On the other side, the Netherworld Candle Dragon was equally miserable.

-> "On the other side, the Netherworld Candle Dragon likewise suffered miserably."

The four Hell corpse kings, mighty and terrifying, with extremely pure corpse qi, constantly erode the bodies of the two Netherworld ancestral dragons, seeking to refine their corpses and fully dominate them.

-> "The four Hell Corpse Emperors, mighty and terrifying, with extremely pure corpse qi, constantly erode the bodies of the two Netherworld Ancestral Dragons, seeking to refine their corpses and thereby gain total control!"

The corpse qi invading their dragon bodies brings truly horrifying effects.

-> "The corpse qi invading their dragon bodies brings truly horrifying effects."

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's eyes turned scarlet, his body trembled as death qi and dragon qi burst forth together, his dragon might surged wildly as he clashed with the two corpse kings.

-> "The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's eyes scarlet, his body trembling, death qi and dragon qi burst forth together, his dragon might vast, as he clashed with the two Corpse Emperors."

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Candle Dragon was also being suppressed.

-> "On the other side, the Netherworld Candle Dragon was also being suppressed."

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor grew somewhat anxious.

-> "The Netherworld Dragon Emperor grew somewhat anxious."

"Someone has intruded into your Hell Abyss! Your guarded Hell Abyss… has been robbed!"

-> "\"Someone has invaded your Hell Abyss! Your guarded Hell Abyss... has been robbed! \""

The Underworld Dragon Emperor let out a low roar.

He shouted at the four Corpse Emperors, ordering them to sense and discover the whereabouts of the Earth Store King.

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor believed that the Earth Store King would surely take this opportunity to intrude into the Hell Abyss and approach the Hell Fire God Tree!

His willingness to act, to break the Hell Origin Wall and create conditions for Li Che to intrude therein, was precisely for this moment.

Have two Corpse Emperors act, suppressing and sealing Li Che within the Hell Abyss.

Afterwards, wait for the Netherworld Dragon Emperor to crush the Netherworld Rule Chains, summoning the will of the invoked Netherworld Sovereign to descend.

When the Netherworld Sovereign descends, Li Che, sealed within the Hell Abyss, will absolutely not survive even a bit!

This is the Netherworld Dragon Emperor's plan!

His purpose is simple: kill Li Che!

The father of the Hell Lotus Maiden is Li Che; as long as Li Che dies, the course of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can return to normal, and the Hell Lotus Maiden will surely erupt anew.

Thereafter, an offensive slaughter targeting the immortal sovereigns of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will erupt.

Even if it ultimately fails, it will still cause trouble for the sovereigns of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, at least leaving them harried.

Every Hell Lotus Maiden, once she ascends to the peak, will undoubtedly become extraordinarily terrifying!

And the Hell Lotus Maiden commands the Hell Lotus legion, stirring a terrifying melee in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; then, it will be the perfect opportunity for the Netherworld invasion he has now allied with!

The Dragon Emperor's face filled with resentful fury!

As the most ancient race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet forced into desperation, having no choice but to ally with the Netherworld and abandon their homeland.

How could he be willing?

He wants the Dark Heavenly Court, Black Sumeru, and the Strange Demon Cavern of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to all be utterly destroyed!

The four Corpse Emperors' corpse qi surged heavenward; naturally they also possessed their own will, and at this level, even if they proved the Dao via corpse, they still had their own consciousness.

The four Corpse Emperors glanced indifferently at the two Ancestral Dragons, their brows slightly furrowed.

They did not disbelieve the Dragon Emperor, for there was no need to deceive; upon looking back, a strange color flashed in their eyes.

Their corpse qi erupted explosively, causing the Hell Abyss to tremble.

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's face showed a cold smile; in his heart he had already sentenced Li Che to death.

The four Corpse Emperors surrounded and attacked—how could Li Che possibly survive?

Moreover, with the Netherworld Sovereign he summoned, today's father of the Hell Lotus Maiden, the Martial Immortal Li Che, is surely doomed!

However, just as the Dragon Emperor's face was filled with cold intent and killing intent, the terrifying corpse qi did not surge toward the abyss, but instead surged back toward the Netherworld Dragon Emperor.

The terrifying corpse qi of the two Corpse Emperors transformed into incredibly sharp spears, fiercely piercing through and impaling the Dragon Emperor's draconic body; the Hell Abyss corpse qi contaminated it, and instantly the pierced area on his body began to suffer severe corrosion.

"You——!!!"

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor looked utterly bewildered.

"You Corpse Emperors…… have no brains!"

"Can't you understand dragon speech?"

"The Hell Fire God Tree is under threat; that means Li Che's goal is the Hell Fire God Wood, and he's approaching it!"

"Why don't you go check the condition of the Hell Fire God Wood?"

"Why increase attack power to strike them?"

"You're insane!"

"Even dead, you're still this insane!"

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor felt he might have miscalculated; why don't these four great Corpse Emperors go see whether Li Che is invading the Hell Fire God Wood?

"\"The Hell Fire God Wood is the supreme divine tree of the Hell Abyss; how could it be so easily cut down and taken? \"\"

"\"Those who covet the Hell Fire God Tree will ultimately become corpses, buried in the earth, turning into nutrient sources for nurturing the Hell Fire God Tree! \"\"

One Corpse Emperor spoke in a hoarse and cold voice.

The corpse-qi-wrapped spear in his hand thrust out fiercely, then transformed into terrifying conical flowing light, the corpse qi swirling like a tornado, drilling to kill the Netherworld Dragon Emperor!

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor and the Netherworld Candle Dragon thus fell into a bitter struggle once again.

However, the Dragon Emperor understood why these Corpse Emperors were not in a hurry, because they had absolute confidence in the Hell Fire God Tree.

They were not afraid that Li Che could chop down the Hell Fire God Tree.

"This Hell Fire God Tree, is it really that wondrous?"

"But the Netherworld Dragon Emperor knows just how strange the Earth Store King truly is!"

"Roar——"

The draconic body was pierced through by the corpse-qi spear!

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor roared in anger, but no longer lingered in battle; he fiercely flicked his dragon tail, seeking to shake off the two Corpse Emperors and flee.

The Netherworld Candle Dragon also began to retreat.

The Hell Abyss…… is indeed strange.

No wonder the Netherworld Sovereign, Death Sovereign, and Reincarnation Sovereign have no interest in this Hell Abyss; the powerful beings within it are indeed too strange!

"Boom——"

The two Ancestral Dragons wanted to escape, not wishing to continue entanglement.

Because they all sensed the threat of death; if suppressed by the four Corpse Emperors, they might be sent to beneath the Hell Fire God Tree, buried underground, becoming nutrients for the fire god tree.

"Bang——!!!"

The corpse qi of the four great Corpse Emperors swirled behind them like vortices, resembling black holes stacking to store terrifying energy.

With a rumble, the four Corpse Emperors pursued relentlessly, not entertaining the slightest thought of giving up.

It appears they have set their sights on the origin of the two Ancestral Dragons!

Even though they have fallen into becoming Netherworld creatures, they are still a great tonic for the Hell Fire God Wood! Suddenly.

The bodies of the four great Corpse Emperors halted; the four spears of swirling, vertically and horizontally entwined corpse qi they had hurled suddenly solidified in the void.

The Netherworld Void suddenly tore open.

Translation: Netherworld Void suddenly tore open.

Netherworld Void suddenly tore open.

A blurry figure, emitting brilliant azure light, slowly walked out from the void crack.

Translation: A blurry figure, emitting brilliant azure light, slowly walked out from the void crack.

A dazzling azure light wheel rotated behind his back.

Translation: A brilliant azure light wheel rotated behind his back.

A terrifying pressure, like a tide, swept outward, freezing the void, solidifying the Netherworld, and mixed origins seemed at this moment to be stripped away and arranged in orderly fashion.

Translation: Terrifying pressure surged like a tide, freezing the void, solidifying the Netherworld, and the mixed origins seemed to be stripped away at this moment, arranged in orderly fashion.

A terrifying pressure surged like a tide, freezing the void, solidifying the Netherworld, and mingled origins seemed to be stripped away and laid out in orderly array.

We can translate: Terrifying pressure surged like a tide, freezing the void, solidifying the Netherworld, and the mixed origins seemed to be stripped away at this moment, arranged in orderly fashion.

This is…

Translation: This is…

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's eyes narrowed.

Translation: The Netherworld Dragon Emperor's pupils constricted.

The four corpse kings instantly became immensely wary and solemn.

Translation: The Four Corpse Emperors instantly became extremely wary and solemn!

That is…

Translation: That is…

"Netherworld Sovereign!"

Translation: "Netherworld Sovereign!"

A hoarse voice sounded from one corpse king's mouth.

Translation: A hoarse voice sounded from a Corpse Emperor's mouth.

Afterwards, they looked at the Netherworld Dragon Emperor, their eyes

Translation: Afterwards, they looked at the Netherworld Dragon Emperor, their eyes flashing with ferocity.

Is this a scheme and attack targeting the Hell Abyss within the Netherworld Abyss?

Translation: Is this a scheme and attack targeting the Hell Abyss within the Netherworld Abyss?

Is this a scheme and attack targeting the Hell Abyss within the Netherworld Abyss?

The Netherworld Sovereign was completely shrouded in pure light, his true form descended here; the sovereign‑level terrifying rule‑order power was like a true descent of heaven and earth's will.

Translation: The Netherworld Sovereign's whole body was shrouded in pure light, his true form descended here, the terrifying rule-order power unique to the sovereign level was like a true descent of heaven and earth's will.

We need to keep pure light as pure light and heaven and earth's will as heaven and earth's will. So: The Netherworld Sovereign's whole body was shrouded in pure light, his true form descended here, the terrifying rule‑order power unique to the sovereign level was like a true descent of heaven and earth's will.

When the four corpse kings made a move, the Netherworld Sovereign slowly lifted his palm and slammed it down.

Translation: As the four Corpse Emperors just made a move, the Netherworld Sovereign slowly raised his palm and fiercely struck downwards.

Instantly…

Translation: Immediately…

The four great corpse kings were completely suppressed by the azure palm.

Translation: The Four Corpse Emperors were actually suppressed by the azure palm.

Their corpse energy surged, the Hell origin raged, but they could not break free.

Translation: Their corpse qi continuously flared, the hell origin raged, yet they could not break free at all.

Your struggles to break free are all in vain.

Translation: "Your struggles are all in vain."

A faint voice came from the Netherworld Sovereign's mouth.

Translation: A faint voice sounded from the Netherworld Sovereign's mouth.

Among the three Netherworld Sovereigns, only he is called the Netherworld Sovereign - why?

Translation: Among the three Netherworld Sovereigns, only he is called Netherworld Sovereign with the Netherworld prefix; why?

Because he is the first to achieve the Dao in the Netherworld.

Translation: Because he is the first to attain the Dao among the Netherworld Sovereigns.

His battle prowess is also the greatest.

Translation: His combat power is also the strongest.

Whether the Death Sovereign or the Reincarnation Sovereign, they are nothing but juniors before him.

Translation: Whether it be the Death Sovereign or the Reincarnation Sovereign, before him they are merely juniors.

In the Netherworld, he is the only true supreme existence.

Translation: Within the Netherworld, he is truly the supreme existence.

Within the Netherworld, he can utterly dominate any living creature.

Translation: As long as he is in the Netherworld, he can achieve absolute suppression over any living being.

The Netherworld Sovereign's azure palm crushed the four great corpse kings, leaving the Netherworld Dragon Emperor and the Candle Dragon sucking in cold air.

Translation: The Netherworld Sovereign struck out, the azure palm actually suppressed the Four Corpse Emperors, this move's might directly made the Netherworld Dragon Emperor and Candle Dragon suck in cold air.

How can the difference be so great?

Translation: How could the gap be so huge?

Even the Death Sovereign's pressure isn't this strong!

Translation: The pressure from the Death Sovereign wasn't even this great for them!

This is the Netherworld's most powerful sovereign, the Netherworld Sovereign, isn't it?

Translation: This is the strongest sovereign in the Netherworld, the Netherworld Sovereign, right?

But before the Dragon Emperor could think much, the Netherworld Sovereign's gaze fell on him, a look brimming with violent emotion, as if his feelings had been pushed to the brink of explosion.

Translation: However, the Dragon Emperor hadn't thought too much when the Netherworld Sovereign's gaze fell upon him, that was a surge of violent emotion, as if emotions had been provoked to the extreme, about to erupt.

Did you summon this Sovereign?

Translation: "Is it you who summoned this Sovereign?"

What is your purpose?

Translation: "What is the purpose?"

The Netherworld Sovereign spoke coldly.

Translation: The Netherworld Sovereign said coldly.

Just posing a question left the Netherworld Dragon Emperor feeling his whole death‑dragon body freeze; any answer not to the Sovereign's liking would be obliterated by his power.

Translation: Merely asking a question made the Netherworld Dragon Emperor feel as if his entire death dragon body would be frozen; a single thought not matching the Sovereign's intent would be crushed by the Sovereign's power.

Truly domineering and unmatched!

Translation: Truly overbearing and peerless!

The Netherworld Dragon Emperor quickly drew a breath and reported Li Che's condition.

Translation: The Netherworld Dragon Emperor hastily took a deep breath and related Li Che's situation.

The father of the Netherworld maiden, the mortal martial immortal Li Che…

Translation: "The father of the Netherworld's daughter, the Mortal Martial Immortal Li Che..."

In this Hell Abyss?

Translation: "In this Hell Abyss?"

The Netherworld Sovereign's gaze swept over, his terrifying eyes brimming with dreadful penetrating power.

Translation: The Netherworld Sovereign's gaze swept over, his terrifying eyes seemed filled with terrifying penetrating power.

He fixed his gaze.

Translation: He stared intently.

Yet he saw the Hellfire God Tree burst forth, swaying in the Hell Abyss.

Translation: But he saw that it exploded, the Hell Fire Divine Tree swaying in the Hell Abyss.

The Hellfire God Tree's aura was fully aroused.

Translation: The Hell Fire Divine Tree's aura was completely stimulated.

Countless branches and vines drooped and coalesced into a being - the peak immortal corpse of the earth.

Translation: Countless branches and vines drooped and condensed into an immortal corpse of the Earth Immortal Peak!

Upon its appearance, the immortal corpse unleashed a heaven‑shaking roar.

Translation: As soon as this immortal corpse appeared, it let out a heaven-shaking roar.

It made the Hellfire God Tree's aura flare, driving the whole tree to the brink of total consumption.

Translation: It made the Hell Fire Divine Tree's aura seem to blaze, the entire tree to be stimulated to the extreme, to be utterly burned.

"Interesting…… the Hellfire Divine Tree being stimulated like this is rare; this truly sensed the arrival of danger."

The Netherworld Sovereign's eyes were deep and profound, a blue light enveloping his entire body.

He took a step, instantly surpassing the constantly struggling Four Corpse Emperors.

The Four Corpse Emperors roared in anger!

Three of the Corpse Emperors joined forces to block the blue palm, while one Corpse Emperor wielded a spear entwined with corpse qi, instantly charging at the Netherworld Sovereign.

However, as the Netherworld Sovereign lightly tapped with a single finger, the surrounding space collapsed and exploded, then transformed into a yawning abyss that devoured the Corpse Emperor.

Unable to see the void-cutting power, this Corpse Emperor's terrifying corpse body emitted the sound of metal clashing.

But this was merely the last sound.

One Corpse Emperor was outright banished!

However……

After this Corpse Emperor was banished, a broken branch of the Hellfire Divine Tree drifted over with it, actually re-forming into the likeness of the banished Corpse Emperor.

The Corpse Emperor gripped a divine spear surging with death qi, staring fixedly at the Netherworld Sovereign!

"The trunk of the Hellfire Divine Tree is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, capable of reforging a flawless fleshly body, the embodiment of immortality and indestructibility."

The Netherworld Sovereign gazed deeply at that swaying, wildly dancing Hellfire Divine Tree.

However, the Netherworld Sovereign soon narrowed his eyes, for his mighty sovereign will forcibly tore open the defenses and concealments of the heavenly earth chessboard.

It seemed as if a blurry figure appeared before a towering hellfire divine tree.

That figure…

It made the Netherworld Sovereign inexplicably feel somewhat familiar, like an old friend.

And while the Netherworld Sovereign saw through the Heaven-Earth Chessboard and fell into contemplation,

Li Che's body hair stood on end to the extreme, a strong sense of danger continually bursting in his heart.

"Netherworld Sovereign… has truly descended! It seems my calculations and judgments were indeed correct!"

Li Che felt a strong sense of danger, his expression extremely grave.

If the Netherworld Sovereign were to trap him in the Hell Abyss, Li Che feared he would truly die with regret.

Fortunately…

Li Che still had a second plan.

Boom——!!!

Taking advantage of the Netherworld Sovereign's overwhelming pressure sweeping in, causing the hellfire divine tree to tremble,

Li Che forcibly blasted apart a peak earth-undying corpse!

Rich corpse qi and order chains danced wildly without cease.

Li Che shot forward like a cannonball, rapidly approaching that hellfire divine tree, however…

As he landed upon the hellfire divine tree, his heart sank slightly, feeling its unparalleled toughness and hardness.

This Two Saints Upper Rank Divine Tree is far too hard!

Li Che unleashed the Thousand Mountains Lone Stride Void-Slash Blade, directly chopping down, aiming to sever a huge, extraordinarily thick branch of the hellfire divine tree.

However, the sword intent bursting forth from the Immortal Martial Absolute Art exploded completely.

It merely left mottled blade marks on the hellfire divine tree; slowly, the bark writhed, corpse qi surged, and those mottled marks were directly erased without trace, as if completely wiped away.

Rumble——

The Netherworld Sovereign ended his contemplation, hands behind his back, azure netherworld divine light bursting forth.

As if the Netherworld's heaven-earth will were on patrol.

Radiant brilliance illuminated myriad things.

Just as the Netherworld Sovereign, hands behind his back, stepped into the Hell Abyss,

Li Che's sense of urgency nearly reached its peak.

As the Netherworld Sovereign drew nearer, step by step, he seemed about to see through the Heaven-Earth Chessboard and spot Li Che.

However, Li Che understood the situation was too urgent.

He could no longer hold back.

The reason he dared, after guessing that the Netherworld Dragon Emperor intended to summon the Netherworld Sovereign, yet still chose to charge into the Hell Abyss, was to cut down the hellfire divine tree's foundation and backup!

At this moment, he fully triggered it.

With a thought,

A white flying thunder chess piece appeared in his palm.

His entire body had already completed the translocation, appearing at the place where he had just stepped into the Netherworld, which was also where he had encountered the Netherworld Dragon Emperor.

He was now at that location.

Li Che without hesitation took out a lump of broken flesh, the corpse of a traitor from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a soul-entrapping undying corpse.

After taking out the soul-entrapping undying corpse, Li Che's five fingers suddenly splayed wide.

From his eyes burst forth an extremely brilliant red light!

"God-Seize!!!"

At the same time.

Boom——

Strolling leisurely, wrapped in endless azure light, as if transformed into the Netherworld's heaven-earth will on patrol, the Netherworld Sovereign lifted his foot to land upon the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, but merely stepping down almost cracked the board completely.

However, the Netherworld Sovereign's foot did not fully come down.

Because, he sensed…

That rascal, he's back again!
