Chapter 1388: Chapter 1362: The New Grim Reaper Chapter 1388: Chapter 1362: The New Grim Reaper Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains watched as the Sun Deity shamelessly broke his promise once again. A crimson gold light suddenly filled his vision, causing the ancient being’s figure to disappear from his sight.

“Ugh, still as domineering as ever.”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains muttered to himself, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Concealed surveillance was never his forte; it was quite normal for beings of his level to be detected, and he had grown accustomed to it.

“But you can only conceal yourself for so long. Once the battle starts, you won’t have time to deal with me, will you?”

The deity who governed the divine power of the earth knew well that there would likely be an intriguing spectacle soon. However, whether he would be a mere spectator or enter the fray himself would depend on how the situation unfolded.

“I’m still allied with that youngster, after all.”

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains hadn’t forgotten the alliance he had formed with Muria not long ago. Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea and not taken seriously, he considered it a good deed.

Even though Muria appeared to have a strong background, that background made the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains feel estranged and slightly fearful, reminiscent of something from the distant past he did not wish to experience again.

Therefore, without knowing all the information, he would not sign any binding contract.

“Heh, everyone’s watching and not making a move, expecting me to test the waters?”

The Sun Deity, Sergei Gradyer, walked above the Sky Dome, traversing the Spatial Rifts, regions invisible and inaccessible to mortals, traversable only by deities.

This very act, when performed, easily drew the attention of other beings. Moreover, the Sun Deity was a divine being who disdained to conceal his presence. When the sun is in the sky, it illuminates all.

“Well then, let me test the waters for you. I refuse to believe you lot can endure a junior ascending over the corpses of our kind.”

…

Boom——
A tremendous boom echoed throughout the Netherworld, reverberating in the minds of all sentient beings. Correspondingly, a sun emitting billions of rays of light appeared in the usually dim, perpetually foggy Netherworld.

However, the Undead accustomed to the Netherworld’s darkness disliked the bright sun, even feeling a deep loathing and rejection from within.

Death and Sun never opposed each other, but the entities centered around them inevitably clashed fiercely.

It was evident, as the Undead summoned by the Undead Emperor to the battlefield evaporated in swathes the moment the sun appeared, unable to withstand the majesty of a Sun Deity.

Yet, this didn’t have a significant impact because only the weakest of the Undead were eradicated by the sun, with the truly powerful ones ignoring the dazzling light.

Since the Sun Deity didn’t specifically target any of the Undead, his gaze was too disdainful to rest on such weak beings. And now, he had no spare attention to give, as the current situation in the Netherworld was entirely beyond his expectations.

“How could this be?”

The Sun Deity, caught off-guard and unable to adjust his next actions immediately, sighed in astonishment, and his thought process halted momentarily.

Rumble——
Dark Thunder bearing the essence of Annihilation spread across the sky. Before the Sun Deity could react, it struck him en masse, slamming the massive luminary, loathed by billions of Undead, into the ground.

“You’ve reacted quite swiftly,” remarked a Blazing Sky God with six wings on his back, positioned next to the Sun Deity now grounded in the Bone Earth. At this point, he was no longer concerned with driving away the Undead.

“It’s only half complete.”

Muria, who had nearly achieved his goal of ascension, modestly stated. With the aid of the Dragon Kings, he had seized divine power controlled by the Undead Emperor during the battle. Using this expanding divine power, he made the final step, becoming a Powerful Divine Force, thereby decisively securing victory.

It was precisely at this moment that the Sun Deity, Sergei Gradyer, arrived. Muria, certain that this being was his divine adversary, didn’t hesitate to strike, leading to the scene unfolding now.

An Avatar with almost the same combat strength as the Sun Deity himself was blasted to the ground, an utter loss of face. Fortunately, this was the Netherworld, and the deities who constantly monitored the Sun Deity’s movements could not peer into it.

Thus, other than Muria, the eleven Epics alongside him, and several million intellectually capable Undead, hardly any other beings witnessed the Sun Deity’s disgraceful moment.

“How could you possibly be this fast?”

The light of the sun again shone in the Netherworld, light once more cast over a world that did not require it. The unconcerned Sun Deity stared at Muria, now akin to the ruler of the Netherworld, and voiced his confusion.

“What has been too fast?”

Muria, now virtually no different from the lord of the Netherworld, asked. Although the Undead Emperor had not yet fallen, having had some of his power wrested away sealed his inevitable fate; he had nowhere to escape.
