"It’s you?"

Wang Ming and Chen Qingyu exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

They saw Xu Nian holding the God Sword, standing in the void before them.

"Didn’t you already escape? Why have you returned?" Chen Qingyu said with some annoyance.

Clearly, she didn’t expect this passerby youth to leave and then come back.

She hadn’t considered asking for help, thinking what help could a Nether Emperor-level passerby provide.

It would be better to use her last bit of strength before dying to save his life, considering it a final good deed.

Xu Nian smiled at the annoyed Chen Qingyu; he naturally knew what she was thinking.

"I don’t like owing people, especially when I can’t repay, so I thought it over and came back anyway," Xu Nian said with a smile.

Chen Qingyu was momentarily speechless.

For such a reason?

Is this guy’s brain broken?

Previously, seeing him leave without looking back, she thought he was a smart and decisive person.

Unexpectedly, he was still so stubborn.

"Kid, there’s a road to heaven, yet you choose the non-gate to hell. You dare destroy my Soul Capturing Umbrella; you must pay with your life," Wang Ming said, looking at Xu Nian with extreme venom.

Xu Nian had actually cut his Soul Capturing Umbrella.

How could this not make him angry?

Without this Soul Capturing Umbrella, it would be even harder to enslave Chen Qingyu.

Chen Qingyu could only shake her head helplessly.

At this moment, she no longer had the strength to protect Xu Nian from leaving again.

In her view, the Nether Emperor before her was destined to die.

However, Xu Nian remained extraordinarily calm, looking at the furious Wang Ming and said with a smile.

"If you want to kill me, then do it already." Xu Nian waved the God Sword in his hand, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Hmph, you seek death, and I shall oblige," Wang Ming snorted coldly.

Then he activated the Divine Soul Power within him, simultaneously activating the Water Attribute Dao Truth.

Ice Dragon!

Wang Ming, exerting the Great Tao Power, instantly condensed an enormous ice dragon.

"Ice Dragon Seal the Heavens, kill for me!"

Wang Ming shouted aloud.

The Ice Dragon lunged towards Xu Nian instantly.

The dragon emitted a terrifying roar, its body exuding a terrible chill, this chill containing extremely strong Tao True Intent.

"Second Level of True Intent?" Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ming had reached the Second Level of True Intent insight.

Chen Qingyu on the side could only shake her head helplessly.

This passerby youth is probably going to die.

Such an attack, let alone a Nether Emperor level, even an ordinary Mid-grade Divine-level expert might not be able to withstand it.

Wang Ming sneered coldly as well.

In his view, after this move, the arrogant youth would completely perish.

However, Xu Nian just smiled slightly.

Seeing the dragon charging at him, his eyes burst with intense battle intent.

"If that’s so, then let me show you my Boundaryless Realm," Xu Nian shouted.

Boundaryless Realm unleashed!

With the God Sword in his hand, he delivered a single slash.

In an instant, a sword radiance of utmost extremity flashed by.

The ice dragon, originally charging at Xu Nian, was directly sliced into two halves.

Not only that, but even Wang Ming couldn’t evade this sword.

The terrifying sword radiance instantly split his entire body in half.

"What?"

Chen Qingyu’s face was full of shock.

"No... impossible."

Wang Ming’s eyes also showed extreme horror and disbelief.

Never did he imagine that he would die at the hands of a Nether Emperor.

But at this moment, his soul origin had already been shattered, leaving no way to survive.

"No!"

Wang Ming let out an extremely unwilling roar.

Ultimately, his Divine Soul dissipated completely into the air with the wind.

Xu Nian stepped through the air, catching his storage ring.

Chen Qingyu, on the side, remained dumbfounded.

This scene was entirely unexpected by her.

"Take this; it will help with your recovery," Xu Nian tossed over a Divine Pill.

This was from the Divine-level expert he had slain before.

Chen Qingyu took the Divine Pill, hesitated for a moment, and eventually placed it in her mouth, then sat cross-legged to begin healing.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, examined Wang Ming’s storage ring.

With his soul probing into the storage ring.

Xu Nian discovered that Wang Ming’s assets were extraordinarily abundant.

Wang Ming actually had no fewer than three Divine Artifacts, all of them of top-grade level.

Plus, the Soul Capturing Umbrella that Xu Nian had previously destroyed made it a total of four Divine Artifacts.

This fact alone was enough to demonstrate Wang Ming’s wealth.

Besides, Xu Nian also found quite a number of Divine Medicines in Wang Ming’s storage ring.

These Divine Medicines were extremely rare, with the value of two of them rivaling the Black Magic Sky Mushroom.

This haul made Xu Nian immensely pleased.

Indeed, killing and taking treasures is the fastest way to accumulate wealth.

"Huh, what’s this?"

Suddenly, Xu Nian’s eyes were drawn to a ring in the corner of the storage ring.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian directly took out this ring.

The ring was very ancient, emitting an archaic aura.

On the ring, exceedingly mystical Divine Patterns were carved.

However, Xu Nian could not understand these Divine Patterns at all.

Xu Nian tried to establish an ownership bond with the ring, only to find that he couldn’t do it.

Blood dripped onto the ring, only to slide right off.

"What’s going on? Isn’t this a treasure?" Xu Nian wondered aloud.

"This ring is quite peculiar; I can’t understand it either." The shadow of Shi Shanshan appeared, examining the ring.

Even she, as a Divine Craftsman, couldn’t decipher the mystery of this ring.

"This is a ring from the Divine World’s Void-breaking Sect, supposedly the Treasure of the Sect, although what it does I don’t know. But it surely is an extraordinary item, more valuable than your Chaos Divine Palace and Star Axe," Emperor Ye Tian’s voice echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

Xu Nian was taken aback by these words.

"More valuable than the Chaos Divine Palace and the Star Axe?"

This ring is so precious?

But it seems that he can’t use it just yet.

"Well, I’ll keep it for now and study it later; it might prove crucial," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

"Indeed, with your current strength, this level of treasure is utterly useless to you. However, the God King Sword you obtained earlier is quite good; you should try to enhance it as it’s currently the most useful Divine Weapon you can wield," suggested Emperor Ye Tian.

Xu Nian nodded.

The higher the level of a treasure doesn’t mean it is invariably better.

His strength couldn’t yet fully unleash the true power of these treasures.

A treasure that matches one’s strength is most significant.

Xu Nian couldn’t help but glance at the nearby Chen Qingyu, who was healing.

Chen Qingyu’s recovery was quite rapid, and within moments, her wounds had somewhat healed.

"Thank you." Chen Qingyu opened her eyes and walked up to Xu Nian.

"No need to thank me; I said I don’t like owing people," Xu Nian replied.

Chen Qingyu, however, just gave a wry smile.

He didn’t owe her anything; it was she who meddled unnecessarily.

Even without her intervention, he wouldn’t have been in danger.

A Nether Emperor capable of slaying a Mid-grade Divine-level expert—this kind of talent was her first encounter.
