What an arrogant tone.

To even call the three great Totem Divine Beasts on the Wuji Continent, which are feared by many, as lowly fake divine beasts; perhaps at that time, only the Netherworld Ghost King would dare to say such words.

Although it was known that the Netherworld Ghost King doesn’t play by the rules, Yun Sheng couldn’t help but be moved by his arrogance.

But soon, Yun Sheng understood that the Netherworld Ghost King’s arrogance was well-founded.

There are only two types of arrogant people: those who are weak in strength but boastful, and those whose strength is enough to justify their arrogance.

The Netherworld Ghost King is the latter.

"Master, he speaks the truth. Although we three siblings are divine beasts, we are only lower divine beasts, and we are still just Totem Divine Beasts. Even if we restore our peak combat power and gather Xuanwu’s strength, we can barely remain unscathed. That man, though he isn’t a Divine, his power might be at the level of an Upper God," warned the Totem Vermilion Bird, addressing Yun Sheng.

Even the Four Great Divine Beasts couldn’t defeat the Netherworld Ghost King during their peak.

"The Totem Divine Beast is right; even if I am not a Divine, I can still easily massacre most Divines. If anyone could defeat me, it would be the Sovereign of the Four Great Divine Beasts, Emperor Huoyan. But alas, Emperor Huoyan has long ignored the affairs of the Human World and would certainly not come to rescue a mere ant-like human clan."

The Netherworld Ghost King amusingly looked at Yun Sheng. He had already seen that Yun Sheng wouldn’t give up easily because he could sense the same arrogance and confidence in her.

This woman reminded him of his younger self—one with the stubbornness of not dying until reaching the Yellow River.

To let her sit and await her doom quietly was clearly impossible.

Yet, the more determined she was, the stronger the urge the Netherworld Ghost King felt to crush her confidence and arrogance bit by bit.

In this world, only those with true strength have the right to be arrogant.

He, the Netherworld Ghost King, was the best example of that.

"Ha, Ghost King, you must be mistaken; I’ve never intended to use Totem Divine Beasts to contend with you. The reason I exhausted the valuable opportunity to summon Totem Divine Beasts was simply for the attempt at mutual destruction. The Totem Divine Beasts cannot kill you, but if their divine power is burned, I believe it would be enough to destroy this Demon Suppression Array. Since I’m about to die, at least I should drag someone along with me as my cushion, don’t you think, Ghost King?" Yun Sheng’s eyes curved with a smile, her dark gaze glinting like a beacon in the night.

The smile on the Netherworld Ghost King’s face froze instantly.

How dare she threaten him!

The Netherworld Ghost King was enraged; in the Netherworld, he stood above all men, and no one had ever dared to threaten him again and again.

"Try it if you dare!" In his fury, the Netherworld Ghost King caused the entire Magic Array to ripple, as massive amounts of black divine power hovered around Yun Sheng.

They were like countless walls trying to crush Yun Sheng and the Totem Divine Beasts into dust.

A fierce look flashed across Yun Sheng’s eyes too, and the three Totem Divine Beasts cried out, charging their divine shadows towards the Netherworld Ghost King’s divine power.

"Stop!" The Netherworld Ghost King hadn’t expected Yun Sheng to truly dare to go for mutual destruction.

He cursed inwardly, wondering where this lunatic woman came from; she truly seemed to be fearless of death. Just moments ago, his heart had softened a bit, contemplating leaving her a soul and a spirit.

"What’s wrong? Regretting your actions now, Ghost King? You and I are both smart people. You know that the Totem Divine Beasts would indeed cause irreparable damage to this Demon Suppression Array. Either let me go, or wait for the array to collapse," Yun Sheng sneered coldly.

"Absolutely not. I’ve spent twenty years constructing this Demon Suppression Array, just shy of one step. Seeing Qingcheng’s soul about to scatter, I have no time to find a substitute divine soul for you," the Netherworld Ghost King was unwilling to budge, stuck in a dilemma.

"Soul scatter? Is the purpose of the Ghost King’s array to condense someone’s divine soul?" Yun Sheng suddenly realized that if the Netherworld Ghost King could offer a way to restore divine souls, it might mean he could also help her mother, Hu Jiusheng, recover her remaining soul fragments and regain her memory. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In her excitement, Yun Sheng even forgot she was still in danger.

"I am very curious too, why you’ve forsaken the chance to become a God and hidden away in this dark place for so many years," a cold male voice suddenly intervened.

Holding Bo Bo in his arms, the Netherworld God Mingri appeared within the Demon Suppression Array.

His stern face grimaced upon seeing the horrific Demon Suppression Array formed by thousands of smaller arrays; behind him, one could faintly see a dark Flood Dragon King-like divine power spiraling.

Seeing the newcomer, Yun Sheng and the Netherworld Ghost King had distinct expressions.

Yun Sheng was surprised because the newcomer was holding a terrified-looking Bo Bo.

Who was this man?

The Netherworld God? Bo Bo’s little junior master?

With Bo Bo’s previous description, Yun Sheng’s impression of this mysterious Netherworld God had consistently been ruthless, bloodthirsty, ugly, and murderous.

Unexpectedly, the man before her seemed impressive in every way; aside from his face which was slightly expressionless, he appeared to be a remarkably handsome man.

If not for the terrifying divine power swirling around him, it would be hard to associate him with the ruler of life and death in the Netherworld.

"Mingri, I’ve told you before; forsaking becoming a God was my own decision. There is no need for you to question it further," the Netherworld Ghost King realized that today’s matters might not be settled easily upon the Netherworld God’s arrival.

Unexpectedly, that Demon Beast actually managed to invite such a formidable presence as Mingri.

However, even with the Netherworld God’s presence, what he sought to accomplish couldn’t be stopped by anyone.

"A domain cannot accommodate two Gods; you abandoned becoming a God despite possessing divine power. Setting up a Demon Suppression Array privately at Ghost Water Creek; if not for my presence, you would have committed a great mistake. Don’t you realize that such actions disrupt the Netherworld order, causing evil qi to surge skyward, thus harming the Human World?" The Netherworld Ghost King’s years of stealth at Ghost Water Creek were known to Mingri.

Although they had battled fiercely over the years, becoming sworn enemies, in their prolonged struggle, they developed a unique bond of mutual appreciation.

Due to this, Mingri often turned a blind eye. But he hadn’t expected the Netherworld Ghost King to boldly set up such an earth-defying formation at Ghost Water Creek.

His appearance here was entirely for Bo Bo.

Unexpectedly, in a twist of fate, he uncovered the Netherworld Ghost King’s grand conspiracy in forming the Demon Suppression Array.

Upon being berated by Mingri, the Netherworld Ghost King remained somewhat defiant, only stirred when he heard "harming the Human World,".

Even Bo Bo, who had assumed the demeanor of being on the brink of death, perked up his ears upon hearing this.
