BXBX NOVEL Chapter 491 May We Meet Again
"Am I? On the day the Nether Monarchs were butchered, the Nether Realm was left without its immortal leaders and fell into chaos. The War of the Six Realms had come to an end. But in that precise instant, Regretless became enlightened, went from Immortal to peak-stage Primordial God, transcended in three Primal Laws, and became the first Nephilim, thenceforth uniting the Nether Realm under an incomparably mightier banner.
How convenient, isn’t it? Apologies but life is not a fairy tale. One doesn’t go from non-deity to Quasi-Supreme in one day. Regretless was accumulating, waiting for the perfect moment to let his strength erupt. That moment was your father’s death and he made a brilliant use of it. I must admit that I’m impressed.
Even if Dragon Warden didn’t slay him, Regretless would have found a way to kill your father and frame his death on the Empyrean. From the day you brought him into your house, the Undying Blood Monarch was...doomed to destruction."
Konrad sighed, inwardly praising Regretless’ cunning. Dragon Warden was indeed too tender, even allowing himself to become the Tribulation Demon’s scapegoat. What a shame to Konrad’s glorious track record. Another sigh followed. Meanwhile, Blood Nether connected the dots, and her chaotic heart went wild with rage, becoming exactly as Konrad needed it to be.
"Lies...lies...aaaargh! I will kill you!"
She bellowed and within her right hand, a crimson greatsword appeared, shimmering within swirling blood flames as Blood Nether turned into a red meteor and hurtled at Konrad who still sobbed for her sake.
"Of all vices, being unfilial is the worst. Of all crimes, disloyalty lords over the rest. As an official, you betrayed your monarch by bringing in the wolf that planned his demise. As a daughter, you were unfilial by wedding he who thrived on your father’s corpse. You are both disloyal and unfilial. A daughter like you...should just kill herself."
Konrad declared in a mental message that resounded within Blood Nether’s mind while bending back to let her sword slash fly by his face. Spinning on 360 degrees, Konrad vanished and reappeared in the distance. Boundless chthonian energies burst from his form as he channeled the power of the Chthonian Realm.
"Beautiful fool, today I shall avenge your poor father by ridding the world of your unfilial self."
Konrad chortled, and while the Chthonian Realm’s full might erupted, resumed his true shape. The fell chthonian energies and faith power of the entire Chthonian Realm filled Konrad’s flesh and soul, making his strength instantly rise to Primordial Deity level. Stretching out his hands, Konrad summoned his Natal Devil Artifacts and Omnislayer, then let go of them, using his Devil Senses to wield them as flying weapons while his form again morphed.
Before the alarmed eyes of the Higher Realms, Konrad’s snow-white skin became a scaled, icy-blue while his body expanded, becoming a gargantuan icy-blue dragon that encompassed the entirety of Heaven’s sky with its unimaginable length. The dragon’s black sclera and golden irises glittered with endless chthonian might, nine pairs of black horns adorned its humongous head, while twelve pairs of sky-shrouding wings sprouted from its back.
In that instant, all light vanished from the Celestial World, trapping all in the shadow of that terrible creature. And as they witnessed Konrad’s true form, regardless of cultivation and experience, all felt their knees quiver, and their fall into chaos. This was a true monster! An unprecedented monstrosity that made demons look like angels!
Now, throughout the High Realms, only Blood Nether could stare at Konrad’s fell eyes without a hint of dread.
"Do you think size makes might? Laughable. Allow me to show you...true power!"
Blood Nether scoffed and without further ado, held the pommel of her sword within her two hands before bending the blade in a vertical stance. Three gates appeared at her back, a black gate identical to Konrad’s, coming alongside a translucent and emerald gate. From those gates, Konrad could feel the strongest concentration of Death, Truth, and Life Laws he’d ever witnessed in his life.
Blood Nether’s Transcendent Gates.
The three gates opened, releasing truth, life and death rivers that barreled into Konrad’s form. With his Death Gate alone, Blood Nether didn’t doubt the move would end his struggle!
"I may not be able to kill you, but suppressing you under a mountain for eternity is perfectly within my abilities! Henceforth, you shall experience life millions of times worse than death!"
She howled in an uncontrollable frenzy that filled Konrad with delight. As the translucent, emerald and yellow rivers neared his form, Konrad’s maw contorted in what seemed like...a smile?
"Innate Skill: Auspicious Clouds!"
Konrad exclaimed, summoning his strongest bloodline ability. The Innate Skill, that now made demons and deities alike cower in fright. However, when Blood Nether glanced at the multicolor clouds, her eyes shone with ridicule.
"Idiot. Better than anyone, you should know that Auspicious Clouds will never have the tiniest effect on a Transcendent Being!"
Blood Nether scoffed, and indeed she spoke true. Even if Konrad could affect Law Embodiments, no matter how dreadful his Auspicious Clouds became, they could not affect Transcendent Beings who defied the Laws themselves. But that...was never the intended plan.
Activating his Auspicious Clouds’ domain isolating ability, Konrad trapped Blood Nether and him in a dimension standing beyond the scope of the Celestial Realm. Although the onlookers could still see the clash, their moves no longer had any effect on Heaven. Again, Konrad split the dimension, exiling Blood Nether’s Truth, Death and Life Gates alongside the rivers they unleashed, thereby forcing her to split strength to force them back to her side.
"Presumptuous! Do you think my sword alone can’t end your struggles? Take this!"
Blood Nether turned into a crimson meteor and flew toward Konrad with her sword raised in a final thrust. But as she approached his gargantuan frame, she could now clearly see that horrid, draconic smile of his.
"May we meet again..."
Konrad whispered in a mental message before cracks appeared all over his body, cracks rippling with unending devil force!
*BOOOOOOM!*
In a single blast of nightmarish energies, Konrad detonated, slamming Blood Nether with such a mighty explosion that she flew outside of the Celestial World! Her armor burst into crimson debris while ghastly wounds seared her Transcendent flesh.
But this merely was the beginning! The Devil Forces snuck into Blood Nether’s chaotic heart to plant a Devil Seed within. And even as her transcendent flesh mended her wounds, the seed germinated, blossoming into a Heart Devil linked to Konrad’s soul!
"Foolish lass, don’t worry. After I snatch my sword back, we shall dance again. I might even teach you the tango. In the meantime, you and I are going to be quite intimate. Let me show you all your treacherous husband couldn’t.
Hahahahahaha!"
Konrad’s nefarious voice boomed from every corner of Blood Nether’s being, and for the first time since her arrival, her eyes widened in pure fright!
"DRAAAAAGON WAAAARDEN!"
Blood Nether howled in grief while struggling to snatch back the control of her Dao Heart! Negligent! She’d been far too negligent and allowed such a lethal intrusion into her heart!
"I prefer Profane Prince."
Konrad leisurely replied.
