258: Death God Form

"I told you, you underestimated me."

Before the Death God's voice could fade, his Divine Soul began to burn.

In his current state, there was indeed nothing else he could do, but burning himself was still within his power; the Life Tablet that controlled life and death had already shattered, and the Netherworld King could no longer stop him.

Death God Form!

A piercing, sharp sound rang out as the Death God activated his ultimate form at the cost of burning his entire Soul.

Endless Death Qi converged from all directions, a black-and-white figure began to manifest, and a terrifying pressure permeated the entire Netherworld.

This region of heaven and earth turned completely dark, with only the Death God's emerald-green pupils erupting with an intense green glow.

A giant figure appeared with two antennae growing from its head and a hideous, terrifying face. Between its long fangs, it held a dark, sharp sword in its mouth, and its clawed hands held a string of prayer beads and a giant Scythe of Death, respectively.

This was the Death God's ultimate form. At the cost of burning himself, his strength at this moment was even greater than his previous Peak.

Although it couldn't be sustained for long, he could still manage to Seal the weakened Netherworld King.

"Death God, is it worth risking your life for this bit of Netherworld Power?"

Amidst the violent Death Qi, the Netherworld King's brow furrowed, his tone no longer as calm as before.

He hadn't expected the Death God to go to such lengths; after all, even if he sealed his opponent, he would also perish completely.

Reaching such a level of cultivation was extremely difficult, and almost no one would easily give up their life, himself included.

He had not expected that the Death God would completely burn his Soul's Origin.

"In my current state, I can Seal you for a million years."

The Death God did not answer the Netherworld King. Instead, he used the endless Death Qi to manifest tens of thousands of giant hands that reached out to grab him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Faced with such an attack, the Netherworld King did not dare to be careless, constantly flashing away to dodge the incoming giant dark hands.

Now that the world had fallen completely into darkness and even his perception was blocked by the endless Death Qi, he could only rely on instinct to dodge. At this rate, he would eventually be caught.

Although the Death God's eyes served as a reference point, he didn't dare to approach rashly in this state. As long as he delayed for a while, the Death God would naturally collapse.

With this in mind, the Netherworld King began to mobilize his internal power, performing a high-level movement technique mastered by his true body.

Jie jie!!

"Netherworld King, you are too idealistic."

As if he had anticipated it, the moment the Death God finished speaking, even more giant hands lunged at the Netherworld King from the darkness.

"Faced with a sky full of giant hands, even you couldn't possibly dodge them all!"

At this moment, the green glow in the Death God's eyes intensified.

Having prepared in secret for so many years just to drag the Netherworld King into Hell, how could he let him escape so easily?

Sure enough, amidst his sinister laughter, the Netherworld King failed to dodge and was caught by a giant dark hand. Then, countless more hands swarmed over, wrapping him up tightly.

"Next, your judgment begins."

Knowing he couldn't maintain this state for long, the Death God pulled the Netherworld King over after catching him, preparing for the final judgment.

"As expected of the Death God. To go to such lengths, even I am somewhat impressed. I, the Netherworld King, acknowledge you."

Arriving before the Death God, the Netherworld King put away his expression and spoke solemnly.

In any other place, he would indeed be no match for the Death God in this state, but this was the Netherworld, where he was immortal and indestructible.

From the moment he reached the God Emperor Realm, he could completely merge with heaven and earth; as long as this world was not destroyed, he would not die.

"But this is as far as you go!"

Before the Death God could make a move, the power within the Netherworld King had already surged to its limit.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted in the darkness.

The Netherworld King directly detonated the power within him, and like a primordial, unrivaled storm of energy, it swept out, spreading across the entire Netherworld in an instant.

Even Ye Fan and the others, who were already far from the battlefield, were blown away by the terrifying energy wave.

And those Divine Venerable and Divine Lord experts who had survived were obliterated by the energy storm without any resistance.

After the explosion, with the Underworld City as the center, the area within a hundred thousand miles turned into a giant basin. Except for the ghosts on the periphery, almost everything was annihilated.

Of Yan Yan's Skeleton Legion, only Skeleton Ji remained alone on the spot.

His strength was already infinitely close to the Divine Lord Realm, and with his Vajra Body, he barely survived the explosion.

Xiao Xing and the other person hiding in the Void Realm were not spared either; in the end, Xiao Xing opened a Dimensional Barrier to prevent Yan Yan from being harmed.

However, this outcome wasn't bad, as it avoided a fight with the Netherworld King and others, allowing them to reap the benefits of the situation.

After the explosion, Xiao Xing emerged from the Void Realm with Yan Yan, prepared to receive the baptism of the Netherworld Power.

The Netherworld King was dead, the Death God was nearly burned out, and Ye Fan and the others were no longer a threat; there was no one left to compete with them.

"Jie jie~ Human, I didn't expect you to survive such an explosion. We underestimated you, but it's not over yet."

Seeing the two of them planning to enter the Netherworld Divine Pool, the Death God let out a faint, sinister laugh, his eyes fixed on the sky above.

Just as he finished speaking, the Netherworld King's figure began to gradually coalesce in the sky.

"One with the heavens? I didn't expect the Netherworld King to trigger a resurrection."

Seeing the passive ability the Netherworld King triggered, Xiao Xing frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Netherworld King, but in his state as a player, he probably had no way to deal with him other than using the Dream Timer Clock.

"As long as you can freeze the Netherworld King for a moment, I can finish him off."

As if seeing through Xiao Xing's thoughts, the Death God's eyes shone with sharp light.

He also had some understanding of Otherworld Warriors, and knowing that Xiao Xing was no ordinary person, he began to scheme.

Otherworld Warriors were protected by the Chief God; not only could they not be killed, but their skills would take effect according to the rules.

Even with a low Rank, if a skill could trap someone for a few seconds, it would trap them for exactly that long; no matter how strong one was, they couldn't break the rules.

He had originally planned to use all his power to Seal the Netherworld King during his resurrection, but he couldn't guarantee 100% success.

If an Otherworld Warrior helped, the Netherworld King would definitely not be able to escape. Then everything he had done would be worth it, and he wouldn't need to call upon his true body.

"Afterward, these three weapons can be given to you."

Seeing that Xiao Xing didn't immediately agree, the Death God raised his voice again.

He was now nearing his end and didn't have much time to waste.

With three treasures plus the Netherworld Power, he believed Xiao Xing would know how to choose. Besides, if the Netherworld King wasn't dealt with, it wouldn't benefit anyone.

Yan Yan...!

Xiao Xing didn't agree immediately but looked at Yan Yan in his arms.

"He killed the Skeleton Sea and everyone else..."

Yan Yan raised her head, her eyes fixed on Xiao Xing, and she didn't continue.

The Skeleton Sea and the others were both her subordinates and her companions. Now that everyone except Skeleton Ji had been killed, how could she forgive him?

"I understand."

Xiao Xing respected her decision and looked toward the Netherworld King, wasting no more words.
