Chapter 226: The Swirling Snow Sword Saint, A Human Half-Deity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ahhh!”
A shrill cry resounded throughout the underground as Baxter the Black Dragon struggled madly.
Everywhere its cry passed through, the earth shook, and the mountains swayed. Large rocks rolled off and fell as dust and earth flew about!
“W-what kind of fire is that?”
Bubbles shuddered, sowhat frightened, as he watched Baxter, who was struggling in pain and agony amidst the black flas.
No matter how wretched Baxter might be, it was still a Black Dragon that had already manifested a divine core and whose strength reached the heights of a mid-level half-deity. Yet it was actually powerless against the black flas!
This was practically inconceivable!
“S-spare... Spare my life!”
At last, Baxter could no longer stand against it, and it began to beg for rcy loudly.
“Offer your divine spirit origin energy and submit to !” ng Lei said aloofly, “Only through submission will you be able to live!”
“I...”
Baxter hesitated at once. Handing over its divine spirit origin energy implied that ng Lei would end up taking full control of its life. How would that do?
“Unwilling to submit? Die, then!”
ng Lei shrugged, his expression one of indifference. Then he ordered, “Let’s go, Bubbles and Little Gold!”
Little Gold nodded hurriedly. Sowhat in a state of shock, it wished only to leave the area at the mont.
With a complex look on his visage, Bubbles asked, “Master, what will happen to Baxter?”
“The Netherworld Divine Fire is an everlasting fla. It’ll never extinguish before it burns everything away.”
ng Lei said aloofly, “Baxter is destined for only one outco, and that is—to be burned alive into ashes by the Netherworld Divine Fire!”
“Burned into ashes?!!”
Bubbles swallowed hard, a hint of abject fear flashing across his eyes.
“Let’s go!”
ng Lei waved dismissively. Then, he wrapped Little Gold in God’s Domain and flew into the distance while Bubbles hastily followed after him.
At the sight of them leaving for real, Baxter panicked at once.
What am I gonna do if you leave?
“S-submit... I’ll submit!” Baxter bellowed.
“It ultimately didn’t manage to restrain itself after all!”
ng Lei shook his head lightly and teleported over to where Baxter was. He asked, “Do you need to repeat what you should be doing?”
“Well-played, human!”
Indignation filled Baxter’s eyes, but it still released its divine spirit origin energy in the end.
Unexpectedly, a few terrifying auras suddenly descended at this point and swept through the entire underground space!
Upon sensing the auras, Baxter instantly retracted its divine spirit origin energy and glowered furiously at ng Lei instead.
“My friends are here, you lowly human! Extinguish the flas on at once! Otherwise, I’ll definitely give you a tragic death!”
“You’re hopeless, Baxter!”
With a slight frown, ng Lei turned to the few that had just descended upon the area. There were four new arrivals, and every one of them gave off vast, mighty divine power and were all half-deities!
The first half-deity had a head of red hair and gave off a vast, ancient Dragon might—it was a Fire Dragon.
The second had a peculiar appearance. Instead of a human, he looked more like a robot constructed from tal.
The third was a human. Dressed in a knight’s armor and holding a knight’s broadsword, he had mighty, imposing, and squarish facial features and emanated a righteous aura around him.
The last half-deity was an octopus. With more than a dozen tentacles, it gave off a bloodthirsty and brutal aura!
“Baxter, my friend, what happened to you?”
The Fire Dragon half-deity’s countenance turned grim right away as it gazed at Baxter, who was shrouded in black flas and struggling fiercely.
“Kill him, Klaus! No, don’t! Capture him instead!”
A sowhat hysterical Baxter pointed at ng Lei and said, “Yes! Capture him and make him remove these goddamn flas first! I’m close to being burned to death!”
“Black flas!”
The octopus half-deity stared at the Netherworld Divine Fire around Baxter. Then, it suddenly exclaid, “That’s the Netherworld Divine Fire! Oh my god, that’s the Netherworld Divine Fire!”
The Fire Dragon half-deity, robot half-deity, and human half-deity quickly asked, “rvyn, what’s the Netherworld Divine Fire?”
In a low, deep voice, the octopus half-deity explained, “The Netherworld Divine Fire is an everlasting fla from Hell. Capable of burning everything, it’s said to be able to burn even a true god to death!”
“An everlasting fla from Hell?”
“Capable of burning everything?”
“Able to burn even a true god to death?”
The three half-deities’ countenances changed drastically, deep restraining fear forming in their eyes as they watched the black flas. Those flas could burn even a true god to death, but they were only half-deities...
“Damn! To think it’s actually the Netherworld Divine Fire!”
Baxter’s face had completely darkened. It roared hysterically, “Quick! Take him down! Make him extinguish these goddamn flas! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to be burned to death!”
Knowing that they mustn’t delay this any further, the four half-deities’ gazes fell onto ng Lei. In icy-cold voices, they ordered, “Put out the Netherworld Divine Fire at once, human!”
ng Lei gave them a leisurely smile. He didn’t take their threats seriously. Instead, he looked at the human half-deity among the four and asked in puzzlent, “I didn’t sense any other auras from you. Are you human?”
“My na is Galen Bonaparte!”
The human knight’s eyes bore into ng Lei as he gave his na.
“Galen Bonaparte? You’re the Swirling Snow Sword Saint?”
A jolt went through ng Lei as he asked, “Aren’t you the sword saint of humans? Why are you here?”
Galen Bonaparte, the Swirling Snow Sword Saint!
To every human, that was a figure of grand reputation. One of exceptional aptitude, he made a na for himself at a young age and, as a human, crushed innurable Dragon geniuses. His na was known throughout the Dragon God Empire and was an extrely rare genius and powerhouse among the humans. He was also the idol and pride of innurable human boys and n alike.
Yet to think that a figure like that was actually lurking in the underground world and associating with evil deities of the underground!
This was practically inconceivable!
“The Swirling Snow Sword Saint has ceased to exist a long ti ago!”
Galen Bonaparte shook his head slowly. “The one standing before you now is but just an ordinary half-deity.”
“Even human Saint Domains are extrely rare, let alone half-deities? Stand aside. I won’t kill you!” said ng Lei with a shake of his head.
“How presumptuous!”
Galen Bonaparte gave an icy snort as he ford a sword with his fingers and let out a furious shout. “Divine Technique: Judgnt!”
Clank!
A dazzling, gigantic golden sword of light descended from the sky and cleaved toward ng Lei lightning-quick, its speed reaching the extres!
“Such agility! What a sha!”
ng Lei quietly appeared three ters away and said, “You’re no match for . Don’t bother wasting any more effort!”
“He’s actually dodged it?”
Astonishnt ca over Galen Bonaparte’s features. The speed of his Divine Technique, Judgnt, was close to teleportation. Ordinary half-deities couldn’t dodge it in ti at all, yet ng Lei had actually managed to do so!
“Take him down! Quick, take him down!”
Baxter, the Black Dragon, began to urge them again. “Stop freaking dilly-dallying! If you tarry any further, I’m going to burn to death!”
“Attack!”
Upon hearing his words, the four half-deities promptly launched their attacks!
“God’s Domain!
The four of them cast God’s Domain simultaneously in an attempt to suppress ng Lei. However, what disappointed them was that ng Lei had vanished into thin air!
“He’s gone?”
“Where’s he?”
The four of them widened their eyes in astonishnt.
“You’re too slow!”
Behind them, a mocking voice rang out, and the four of them looked behind them in horror. ng Lei had appeared behind them at so point, and four black spears were floating above his palm.
“Go!”
With a flick of his fingers, the four black spears shot out at once!
Splurt!
Splurt!
The distance between the spears and the four half-deities was simply too close. Unable to dodge in ti at all, all four were unsurprisingly hit by the spears. The black spears struck them in the chests before bursting into flas—they were actually spears of flas manifested from Netherworld Divine Fire!
“Damn! It’s the Netherworld Divine Fire!”
The octopus half-deity’s countenance changed dramatically, and it actually attempted to valiantly cut its losses by using a dagger to shave off the flesh at its chest and, in turn, remove the Netherworld Divine Fire on its chest.
However, the miserable thing was that its divine body was fairly tough and durable, so the broken dagger simply couldn’t pierce through its skin! When it finally did, after much difficulty, it actually couldn’t shave off even a piece of its flesh after half a day of going at it.
With one thing leading to another, not only was the Netherworld Divine Fire not removed, but it even spread swiftly throughout its body!
The other three were pretty much in the sa situation. They either cast Divine Techniques or swatted at themselves, but the final outcos were all the sa—the more they swatted, the bigger the flas beca and the fiercer they blazed.
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh!”
“Why do you even put yourselves in such a situation?”
ng Lei shook his head lightly. Then, he retracted the Netherworld Divine Fire on Galen Bonaparte with a casual move and said aloofly, “Leave!”
“You’re not going to kill ?”
Disbelief was written all over Galen Bonaparte’s countenance.
“On account of how you’re a human, I’ll let you off, but I’ll only do it just this once,” replied ng Lei dispassionately.
“Who exactly are you?”
Galen Bonaparte watched ng Lei closely.
“Human! The one standing before you right now is my great and noble Master, ng Lei!”
Bubbles said, “The new emperor of Dragon God Empire and the strongest half-deity of Heaven’s Vault Continent!”
“The emperor of Dragon God Empire? You’re a Dragon?”
Fury appeared on Galen Bonaparte’s face as he spat, “I am mortal enemies with Dragon God Empire. Even if I were to die, I’d never accept the Dragons’ kindness! You’d better just kill instead!”
“Are you misunderstanding sothing, human?”
Displeased, Bubbles said, “Master ng Lei is pure human. He has overthrown the Dragons’ reign and slain the Dragon Island half-deities. He has no connection whatsoever to the Dragons!”
“What did you say?!”
An astounded Galen Bonaparte exclaid, “Overthrown the Dragons’ reign? Slain the Dragon Island half-deities? How can that be?”
“The great Bubbles never lies. Would I deceive you?”
Bubbles was rather dissatisfied. “Ask around if you don’t believe !”
Galen Bonaparte’s mouth opened and closed. After a long while, he finally said, “If you’ve really overthrown the Dragons’ reign and taken revenge for , I am willing to beco your follower! I swear on my honor as a knight!”
“You can go and verify this for yourself!”
ng Lei gave him a slight smile.
“Goodbye!”
Galen Bonaparte gave ng Lei a long, deep look. Then, he glanced at the four other half-deities struggling in the black flas before turning and leaving.
Although they, the underground half-deities, were extrely united against outsiders, the friendships among them didn’t go that deep. In fact, there was dissension and brutal competition among them!
And now, since he was heading to the surface, his worshipers in the underground were already no longer of any importance!
“Master, are you allowing him to leave just like that?” Puzzlent ca over Bubbles’ features as he said, “He’s probably not going to co back after he leaves!”
“It doesn’t matter even if he doesn’t return. There aren’t many human half-deities. It’s a sha to kill him!”
The four half-deities were initially able to persevere through the burning of the Netherworld Divine Fire, but toward the end... None of them could persevere any longer!
“You may live on if you submit to !”
This was still the only choice that ng Lei gave them.
Without any surprise, the Fire Dragon half-deity, the octopus half-deity, and the robot half-deity hesitated. In contrast, Baxter, the Black Dragon, didn’t hesitate any further this ti and promptly begged for rcy.
It was just a sha that ng Lei rejected it this ti. “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Yet you’re begging for rcy again now? It’s too late!”
“Noooo!”
In the end, Baxter the Black Dragon was burned into ashes amid several screams of pain and regret and paid a heavy price for going back on his word.
“Submit! We’re willing to submit!”
