Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Nether King Scythe

"Humph!"

Nether Dream Demon Venerable snorted coldly and charged straight at Li Yuanba, who was sent flying backward, causing Qin Jun to frown deeply.

The development of the battle was entirely different from what he had expected; Li Yuanba was actually at a disadvantage.

"This woman has just entered the initial stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and her foundation is unstable. What she relies on is the scythe in her hand," Bai Ze said with piercing eyes. "That scythe must be at least an Innate Spirit Treasure!"

Innate Spirit Treasure!

Qin Jun’s frown deepened upon hearing this. Could Innate Spirit Treasures really be that powerful?

He knew that in his storage ring were two items that surpassed the Innate Spirit Treasures—the Sky Water Jade and the Abyss Sect golden bracelet—both of which had been seized from the Abyss Sect.

Red Boy had been utterly powerless because of these two treasures.

But Qin Jun had yet to find a way to use the two treasures.

The categories of treasures, in ascending order of their grade, are acquired treasures, Innate treasures, acquired spiritual treasures, Innate Spirit Treasures, acquired supreme treasures, and Innate Supreme Treasures.

His Seven Star Sword was also an Innate Spirit Treasure and was his advantage in challenging foes beyond his level. Its hardness was second to none, not even inferior to the Golden Cudgel.

But it was not as domineering as the Innate Spirit Treasure of Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

"Could it be that I’ve got a fake Innate Spirit Treasure?" Qin Jun thought with a mix of amusement and frustration.

He was not really worried about Li Yuanba’s defeat, after all, Gold-Winged Rocs were very strong!

This battle was a reminder for him to study the treasures he had been hiding; even if they were not suitable for him, he could give them to those faithful God and Demons with full loyalty.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable swung her blood-red scythe swiftly at Li Yuanba, but she was still slower than Li Yuanba, who quickly adapted to the pace.

"Scram—"

With an angry shout from Li Yuanba, he smashed his hammer towards Nether Dream Demon Venerable, only for it to be blocked by the blood-red scythe again. Yet this time, it was Nether Dream Demon Venerable who was sent flying backward.

The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake, who remained on Fox King Island, watched with his heart pounding in fear.

The aura emitted by both Li Yuanba and Nether Dream Demon Venerable filled him with dread.

"Just what realm have their cultivations reached..." The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake was overwhelmed with shock and incomprehension.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable was also incredibly shocked. Even though Qin Jun’s reputation as the Holy Emperor of Qin had spread far and wide, and there were even rumors of Great Qin’s Heavenly Court defeating Divine Wuji, she thought the strength of Great Qin’s Heavenly Court had limits. Yet Li Yuanba’s realm was higher than hers.

Had it not been for the power of Nether King’s scythe, she might have been killed by Li Yuanba in an instant.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable leaped into the air, soaring like a hawk, while simultaneously wielding the Nether King’s scythe, engulfing herself in rolling demonic aura that caused her black clothes to flutter noisily.

Li Yuanba smirked in disdain and hurled his left hammer, tearing through thousands of meters and striking with the force of ten thousand jun at Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

Confronted by the Gold-Winged Roc’s Divine Hammer, which threatened to shatter the Cangqiong, Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s gaze remained undisturbed. She let go with her right hand, and the Nether King’s scythe began to spin on its own, exuding demonic aura that formed a terrifying tornado to guard in front of Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

Qin Jun and the others craned their necks, looking up at the demonic tornado in the sky, feeling the hair-raising pressure from it.

Boom—

The Gold-Winged Roc’s Divine Hammer smashed into the demonic tornado, unleashing wild black winds and thunderous lightning. In the end, the Divine Hammer was rebounded.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable knew that if the fight dragged on, she could likely be exposed to a fatal flaw, especially since there were strong figures beside Qin Jun who had yet to make a move. She could sense that Sun Wukong’s aura was even more ferocious than Li Yuanba’s, as if ready to destroy the world at any moment.

"Feel this power!"

Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s voice was filled with a cold harshness that held no regard for life, causing Qin Jun to frown involuntarily. The next second, she suddenly pressed down with both hands.

The hundreds of meters high demonic tornado exploded in size, rushing towards Li Yuanba.

In the blink of an eye, the diameter at the top of the demonic tornado exceeded a kilometer, as if the sky itself was falling.

Sun Wukong clenched his right fist, seemingly ready to step in, but seeing Li Yuanba excitedly screaming as he charged forward, he could only suppress his own emotions.

"Can he win?" Qin Jun murmured as he looked up at the sky.

By his side, Bai Ze replied softly, "No problem!"

Even if Nether Dream Demon Venerable had a mysterious origin, the current Qin Jun was not what he used to be, with his ranks brimming with strong followers. How could he be beaten by some upstart?

There was only one Tathāgata!

"Roar—"

Golden wings suddenly unfurled behind Li Yuanba, and his right hand began to swing wildly. The Giant Bird Divine Hammer whooshed through the air, and he then swung it with unparalleled force.

The Cangqiong wept, the ocean wailed!

Fox King Island shook violently, and the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake was already dumbstruck, kneeling on the ground as if his soul had been ripped away.

At this moment, his ambition was thoroughly shattered as Li Yuanba’s battle with Nether Dream Demon Venerable made him realize his own insignificance.

No wonder the Green Fox King had died; the Southernmost Sea had become a battleground for mighty beings beyond the imagination of the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake.

Boom!

A explosion caused the world to lose its color, and the tempestuous waves pressed down so hard that the sea below indented, spanning several miles in diameter. The scene was spectacular, as if even Fox King Island would sink.

The waves in all directions surged hundreds of feet high.

The howling wind tousled Qin Jun’s black hair, but his purple eyes remained fixed on the sky above. Amidst the rampant demonic energy, Li Yuanba’s frail figure was like a fallen leaf in a storm.

Looking down from on high, Nether Dream Demon Venerable regarded Li Yuanba with a white mask that now seemed cold and indifferent, like a deity that disdains all spirits.

"Under absolute power..."

the Nether Dream Demon Venerable muttered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, Li Yuanba shot through the tumbling winds like an arrow, stirring up circular ripples of air currents.

"You hag! You think you’re invincible just because you depend on treasures?"

Li Yuanba roared ferociously, like an apocalyptic beast, his malice piercing the heavens.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s pupils shrank, and he instinctively swung the Nether King’s scythe to block, but he was still sent flying, spitting blood from a hammer blow.

Immediately, Li Yuanba continued to pursue with his hammer, intent on slaying the Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

In the blink of an eye, both their figures vanished into the horizon.

The onlookers exchanged glances, and Qin Jun chuckled and shook his head, "It seems the other is just a paper tiger."

He said this, yet he was still astounded by the strength of Nether Dream Demon Venerable, who forced Li Yuanba to unleash his full power.

After all, Li Yuanba was in the mid-stages of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, making the Nether Dream Demon Venerable akin to fighting above his level.

"Submit to me!"

Qin Jun bellowed, raising his right hand to lift the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp, pouring his magical power into it, and directly igniting the oil inside.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp was lit, most of the beasts on Fox King Island immediately became dazed.

Even the Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake shuddered, feeling the pressure on his soul.

"What lamp is that..."

The Demon King of Ormosa Coral Snake was filled with terror. At this moment, the beasts of the island emerged from the forests, kneeling before Qin Jun. The spectacle was incredibly grand, causing Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Liu Ruolai, and others to widen their eyes, while the four hundred thousand soldiers were petrified.

"This lamp..." Bai Ze frowned, instinctively starting to calculate the origins of the Ten Thousand Demon Lamp.

Boom!

She felt her mind explode and hastily retreated from her calculative state, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
