Chapter 676: Chapter 449: Did the Death Lord Get Scared Off?
Boom!
The trembling of the Death Plains grew even more intense.
The overwhelming aura of death transformed into a thick black smoke that shot up into the sky, turning tens of thousands of miles of the sky black!
Within the mist, all undead creatures landed and kneeled together.
Including the nine “High-ranking True Deities” that stood in front of Xu Yang, they all kneeled down on one knee.
At this moment.
...
All the experts who were watching the “Death Plains” changed their expressions.
In front of the Sunset Mountains, the old Clan Chief of Demonic Python Chiyuan Clan muttered, “He has emerged… The Death Lord has slept for thousands of years, has he finally emerged now?”
His eyes sparkled with divine light as he looked into the distance, only to see a towering figure coming out from the depths of the Death Plains.
His body was covered in the laws of death, and a surge of death qi emanated from him. He glanced at the direction of the Sunset Mountains, and with a flash of his body, appeared in front of Xu Yang.
“So strong!”
Xu Yang’s scalp tingled as he looked at the towering figure. Even though he had unleashed his Heavenly and Earthly Phenomenon and maintained his hundred-foot-tall body, he still seemed like a tiny creature in front of the majestic God of Death.
“It’s over… ”
“I’m going to die today!”
Thoughts flashed through Xu Yang’s mind as he looked up at the towering figure and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
“How audacious!”
One of the high-ranking true deities who blocked Xu Yang’s path shouted harshly, “Ignorant mortal, how dare you not kneel before the great Lord of Death?”
“Lord of Death?”
Holy shit!
So it’s this guy!
Didn’t they say he had already slept for tens of thousands of years?
Why did he suddenly awaken?
Xu Yang had learned some information about Hell from Achilles Spencer.
At that time, Achilles Spencer mentioned some experts, including the “Death Lord”, who was known as the “strongest true deity” and claimed to be the strongest below the major deities, he was one of the oldest creatures in Hell and the Sovereign of Death Plains!
Such a high-level figure was already beyond his ability to deal with.
However, Xu Yang didn’t show any weakness, let alone kneel down.
He sneered and said, “I am a Daoist Heavenly Master, who has been conferred by the Supreme Opening of Heaven, Zhi Zun Jade Emperor. Even if I were to meet the Heavenly Emperor, I would not have to kneel. How dare you ask me to kneel before you?”
“Heavenly Master?”
The majestic figure of the Death Lord sneered disdainfully and said faintly, “You are not one of the Four Great Heavenly Masters of the Eastern Heavenly Court, and yet you dare to be arrogant before me… Hm?”
Suddenly.
His voice stopped, and his entire body seemed to be greatly frightened. With a “whoosh”, he retreated a hundred miles away.
His previously towering figure rapidly shrank, and his face obscured by the mist now clearly revealed a beautiful woman!
Yes!
The Death Lord was a female divine spirit.
Shock and fear were evident on her beautiful face as she stared at Xu Yang and exclaimed, “It’s you… No, that’s impossible. How could you be here?”
“Ding!”
“The Death Lord has been frightened, merit points +1 million, Mastery of Death +1.”
“Ding!”
“The Death Lord has been frightened, merit points +1 million, Mastery of Death +1.”
“Ding…”
Xu Yang: “???”
As he heard the continuous system prompts in his mind, Xu Yang was taken aback. He was about to speak when the Death Lord transformed into a wisp of death qi and went back into the Death Plains in a flash.
“What the… ”
Xu Yang turned to look at the nine high-ranking true deities who had been blocking his path, and asked with confusion, “What’s going on?”
The nine high-ranking true deities were also confused.
“Run!”
At the same time.
The voice of the Death Lord echoed in their minds simultaneously.
Although the nine high-ranking true deities were clueless, they had always followed the orders of the Death Lord. In a flash, they turned into nine rays of divine light and followed the Death Lord away.
The undead creatures that had been kneeling in the mist hesitated, experiencing a brief “short circuit” state.
Then, they all turned into Yin winds and disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, the Death Plains, which was previously covered in mist, returned to normal. Only some scattered bones, divine essences, and the remnants of various laws, sword aura, and heavenly power on the ground indicated that what had just happened was not an illusion.
“???”
Xu Yang scratched the back of his head, not understanding what had just happened.
What exactly is going on?
Who was the “you” that the Death Lord referred to in her words… Was it me?
“Does she know me?”
“No… According to what Achilles Spencer said, this Death Lord has been asleep for more than ten thousand years. How could she know me? And even if she did know me, why would she address me with such respect considering her cultivation and strength?”
“And, why is she so afraid of me?”
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Xu Yang decided not to think about it any further.
He deactivated the Daoist formation and entered the Stone Forest. The women immediately came up to him with concern and asked about his well-being.
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my dear wives, your husband is fine… That Death Lord is just a coward. She got scared the moment she saw me and ran away.”
That being said.
Since he knew that the Death Lord had awakened, it would not be appropriate to stay in the Death Plains any longer.
Xu Yang led the women out of the Death Plains and entered a forest.
Although the forest was not very large, the scenery was quite beautiful. It was inhabited by various undead creatures, and even a few lower-rank true deity-level demons.
“Husband, you can rest. Leave these demons to us!”
