Chapter 1368: Chapter 1353 Allies: Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains Chapter 1368: Chapter 1353 Allies: Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains A searing pain that penetrated the soul emerged from both his wings and heart, a sensation Muria hadn’t felt in a long time, as he was naturally born with the bloodline of a Fire Elemental Golden Dragon.

In his youth, even without any protection, soaking in magma was just like any ordinary creature soaking in a suitably warm hot spring. As Muria’s strength grew, his tolerance for high temperatures increased day by day.

By the time Muria had ascended to the Epics, very few things could make him feel the pain of intense heat, and after having become a deity mastering the laws related to the sun and flames, he was essentially immune to all fire damage; however, there were always exceptions.

When faced with a being who also mastered similar laws, and whose authority superseded his, Muria would be attacked, with the damage inflicted exceeding his immunity threshold to flame.

“Sun God!”

As Muria suffered this sudden stab in the back, feeling a burning pain from his body to his soul, the Undead Emperor, who had consistently kept Muria at a disadvantage without faltering, loosened his grip on the Sword, refraining from kicking Muria while he was down.

It wasn’t out of any knightly spirit, as his will had already plunged into chaos. Even if his divine will were clear, he would probably ally with the Sun God who ambushed Muria and take Muria down first.

The long years had eroded away what others might consider being pleasant traits, leaving only decisiveness and cruelty, traits beneficial to his own existence.

Thus, the Undead Emperor ceased his attack because his divine will was clouded, and he was provoked by the familiar Solar Divine Power, the scent of an enemy, ingrained in his instincts despite a shattered divine spirit and blurred memories.

“Come out!”

Controlled by ancient divine power, the being entered a rage, and the entire Netherworld echoed his will. In just a blink, the Sky Dome of the Netherworld filled with black and grey Thunder, and his figure appeared infinitely massive in Muria’s eyes.

“It seems you’re really having trouble, not just pretending; what a pity!”

As the rules of the entire Netherworld boiled over, the being that was already out of place and hidden within was immediately forced out.

What emerged was a Bone Bird shrouded in bright yellow flames, which, judging by the aura it emitted, was considered a minor Overlord-level Creature in the Netherworld; however, in front of two beings of Powerful Divine Force, it was no different than an ordinary ant.

Yet such a weak Undead bore the Thunder of laws striking down from the sky, flew up to the Undead Emperor, and then revealed a grand will completely inconsistent with its nature, a will as intense as the scorching sun, carrying Muria’s intimately familiar imperiousness.

“Rebel!”

When he saw the flames on the Undead’s body eroded by Solar Divine Power, turning golden, the Undead Emperor grew even more agitated. He dismissed the injured Muria next to him and strode toward the Bone Bird now turned into a golden Skeleton.

“Wrong choice, what you should be doing now is eliminating that young upstart trying to seize your authority, not bothering with this dispensable avatar of mine.”

Like Muria, the Sun God who had infiltrated the Netherworld reminded him, but obviously, the enraged Undead Emperor would not heed the advice of a former enemy.

Click!

Without resistance, already exposed and unable to hide any longer, the Sun God’s avatar allowed himself to be grasped by the hand of the Undead Emperor and then crushed into dust.

“Sun God, you should all be damned!”

The Bone Bird’s body was crushed into powder, but that insignificant wisp of lingering Solar Divine Power was preserved. The Ancient God tried to use this trace of Divine Power to locate the Sun God, but he failed. In the end, he could only watch in frustration as this trace of Divine Power slowly dissipated in his hands, leaving no trace.

Muria, having suppressed his injuries, saw this spectacle and wanted to say, “Follow me, I know the location of the Sun God’s Divine Country.”

Unfortunately, unlike stumbling into the Netherworld effortlessly or being brought here by another deity’s scheme, Muria truly didn’t know where the Sun God’s Divine Country was located.

Thus, Muria watched the Undead Emperor sink into impotent rage. After some deep contemplation, he decided to conceal his aura and make his escape.

“Challenger, have you fled?”

Only half an hour after Muria had disappeared did the Undead Emperor’s attention finally shift away from the Sun God, and he realized that Muria had indeed fled.

This undoubtedly left this energetic Ancient God extremely displeased as finding an opponent who could always maintain the upper hand without the poor experience of oppressing weaker beings had been rare, and now for him, Muria was just that.

…

In the now calmed Netherworld, a Dragon of Annihilation exuding intense Death Qi flew across the gray sky as carefully as other flying Undead creatures that had cautiously emerged again, looking extraordinarily inconspicuous.

“You gained nothing, but were ambushed by the Sun God, are you content to leave like this?”
