Chapter 29: Great Decisive Battle of the Planes

Although he saw it, he didn't rush to take it; instead, from a great distance he controlled his spirit, gathered a surge of life energy into a vine, gradually wrapped the long sword and dragged it underground.

Under the vine's control, the long sword slowly rose from the ground, and as it approached Shawn, it went straight into his spatial ring.

"Dong dong dong~~" Shawn's heart was pounding rapidly; he didn't know whether the Lord God was watching at this moment;

Although the probability should be extremely low—after all, Lin Lei's soul mutation went unnoticed for 34 years, and his own action was just a fleeting instant—it's not that lucky that the Lord God happened to see it.

However, after waiting a few hours cautiously and feeling nothing unusual, he returned to the spot, descended deep underground, and his spirit entered the spatial ring, sensing the main artifact.

Deep within his soul, the soul bead again manifested a "devouring" desire, far stronger than before.

Shawn forced his spirit to withdraw, and the desire gradually faded.

"It feels that if the main artifact were given to the soul bead, it would be destroyed."

Shawn was almost certain that the soul bead's desire stemmed from a lack, just as a normal creature feels hunger and wants food;

But he was still on the plane battlefield; if any energy fluctuation occurred and he got surrounded again, it would be dangerous, and if the Lord God truly came looking for him, he would have to return the main artifact;

He decided to wait until he left, then return to the Material Plane to check, because even across the Material Plane the Lord God might not sense it;

Another several hundred years passed:

A green armor, once again hidden, was taken by Shawn into his spatial ring, and he continued to close his eyes and nurture his spirit.

"The great decisive battle is a little over a year away; I must return," Shawn calculated the time and headed back to his camp.

He had already returned to his Netherworld territory; after all, he was just waiting for others to fight, and safety was much higher on his own ground.

In these several hundred years, he had collected six main artifacts, all owned, stored in his spatial ring; as long as he hadn't been discovered by the Lord God when he took them, no one could find him thereafter.

Choosing a route, Shawn quickly returned to the camp;

"Commander Shawn," a squad of soldiers passed by, and upon seeing him, the leading captain hurriedly greeted him.

Shawn glanced at the captain and asked, "Ao De Biao and Torres, have they returned?"

The captain replied, "They have already returned."

"Good," Shawn nodded, then swiftly flew into the camp.

"Ao De Biao, Torres," Shawn approached their tents, and his spirit immediately sensed them.

"Ha ha, Shawn," Ao De Biao laughed heartily, leading Torres out of the tent, "I knew you were fine; Torres was still worried about you."

"I'm practically a half turtle shell now; not that easy to die," Shawn said with a smile.

Killing him is difficult; even without the soul bead's powerful regeneration, it would require at least four or five top‑tier soul commanders to have a chance.

Of course, if faced with a very strong physical attack, even if they can't kill him, they could exile him;

Without reaching Great Perfection, one cannot be truly invincible.

"Indeed," Ao De Biao asked, "The great decisive battle is a year away; will you join?"

"Of course, I promised," Shawn nodded, "but I will only do my best and won't take risks."

The Death Overlord's demand must be tried earnestly; with his soul achievements plus the soul bead's strong regenerative ability, as long as it's not a ten‑in‑a‑row great decisive battle or encountering Great Perfection, the risk is low;

And he's not a fool; he won't charge forward to kill enemies—he's a soul strongman adept at ranged attacks, so staying back and shooting suffices.

"Ha ha, good," Ao De Biao laughed, "Then rest well; in a year, the great decisive battle will begin."

In the blink of an eye, a year passed, and the Netherworld army was ready to march.

Above the Star River:

"Boom~~~" Two massive energies erupted from the center, and the terrifying power made Shawn, even from afar, feel shaken.

In no time, two passages formed; the middle of each passage had no spatial rifts, while the surroundings were filled—fighting inside, if you stand at the edge you can easily fall in.

"The great decisive battle has finally begun!"

Many around Shawn began to cheer, several commanders and a multitude of disciplined soldiers poured wildly into one of the passages.

"Ha ha, great decisive battle, I'm here."

A familiar voice sounded; Shawn turned his head and saw it was Lei Si Jing.

Lei Si Jing seemed to sense Shawn as well, turned his head, laughed, "Eh, it's you; later shall we go kill enemies together?"

When Shawn roamed the outside world before, his help to their team was limited, and because he didn't know them he wasn't very confident; but now with the great decisive battle, any commander is a backbone of combat power;

Moreover, in such a passage, anyone who dares to deliberately attack their own would be executed by the Lord God, so they feel at ease.

"Fine." Shawn naturally agreed.

Ao De Biao looked at Lei Si Jing in surprise; he knew he was the Hell Lord God's son, but had never befriended him, and didn't expect Shawn to know him.

Lei Si Jing said, "Later, stay close to me; my Purple Acacia Space can protect you."

"Thanks." Ao De Biao laughed heartily.

Peak masters skilled in material attacks all know how powerful Lei Si Jing's Purple Acacia Space is as support, but it's an innate skill that others can't learn.

The trio entered the passage together; at this moment, many experts were already slashing each other in the middle of the passage, and commanders were also fighting each other.

Main artifacts, Lord God's power, massed material or soul attacks, innate divine abilities, various ultimate techniques—every second they were slashing countless lives.

Even though Shawn is decisive in the Divine Plane, he has never seen such a massive slaughter of experts; previously, when the Four Beast families besieged him, only the soldiers possessed Lord God's power, and they were far weaker in other aspects;

And the death of many god‑level experts seemed to loosen the bottleneck he hadn't broken through for a long time.

"Shawn, Ao De Biao, charge together," Lei Si Jing's body radiated destructive Lord God power, and the soldiers entering his space fell as if into a mire.

Shawn didn't hold back, his soul attacks reaped those people one after another; Lei Si Jing did the same, and his soul attacks seemed no worse than Shawn's.

"Target acquired: over there are two commanders without material‑defense main artifacts."

Ao De Biao suddenly pointed to the left front and said.
