The Nether Space was a realm of its own, opened up at the very moment the Lord of the Netherworld was sealed.
Aside from thirteen figures radiating bright light, the entire place was pitched black.
Among the thirteen figures, the largest one possessed a colossally massive body, exuding the majestic aura of a sovereign ruler. However, those enormous dragon eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes and exhaustion.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, my Saint Energy should be able to help you reinforce the seal. Since I happen to have come in this time, I might as well stabilize it."
This time, the Dragon Emperor did not refuse.
"Very well."
With the help of Saint Energy, they could indeed reinforce the seal. A more stable seal meant they would be able to hold out for a longer time.
Su Wen released his Saint Dao Energy.
At this moment, the Saint Dao Energy was completely unhidden, fully displaying its brilliance in this dim world.
The golden light was filled with an aura of creation.
"It really is Saint Energy. This pure aura of creation, even if it isn't true creation energy, is enough to thoroughly reinforce the seal. The Lord of the Netherworld probably won't be able to contact the outside world anymore," the Dragon Emperor's voice revealed pleasant surprise.
Su Wen's Saint Dao Energy was very powerful, having already reached the fifth level. It was further blessed by his own Visualization of Heaven and Earth, and was entirely groper-and-fused into existence by Su Wen himself. In the years that followed, Su Wen had even integrated his other elements. His Saint Dao Energy was actually slightly stronger than the Saint Energy fused by Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the entire space shook.
The light and shadows representing the Dragon Emperor and the twelve guardians also wavered.
At this moment, the Lord of the Netherworld launched another assault on the seal.
Above the sky, a massive curtain of light emerged. Behind the curtain of light was a colossal figure, whose color could vaguely be seen as close to black, with a physical form resembling a giant crab.
That wave of destructive energy fluctuation made Su Wen's heart tremble.
This was his first time experiencing power of this level at close range.
Of course, with the exception of the Sea God's divine power.
That was, after all, merely divine power.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Netherworld before him was highly likely a god-level existence as well, though he probably wasn't a deity holding a divine seat, but rather a normal god-level lifeform in the universe?
This Lord of the Netherworld's divine power leaned toward destruction, containing a massive amount of negative energy.
"Hmph, brat, you're making things up! Although I am attacking the seal, I have never contacted the outside world. I have absolutely no intersection with you!"
The voice of the Lord of the Netherworld drifted out. Surprisingly, his very first sentence wasn't shouting harsh words at the Dragon Emperor and the others.
There was also a hint of weakness in his voice.
Being sealed made things very uncomfortable for him. He had accumulated power for a period of time, preparing to make a dash to see if he could connect with the outside world.
But he had clearly not succeeded yet.
However, he had also expanded his perception range beyond the Nether Space, to where the magical array was located.
Eavesdropping on the information where Su Wen slandered him, the Lord of the Netherworld was also furious.
"Hmph, Lord of the Netherworld, instigating discord is useless at this point." Su Wen curled his lips, wearing an expression that practically said "it's not like the two of us haven't met before."
The Lord of the Netherworld was driven to madness.
He really didn't know where this Su Wen had popped up from.
Especially since this guy had actually fused and produced Saint Energy!
Saint Energy was a power that possessed the aura of creation, a force sufficient to help Heavenly Jewel Masters break through to a higher level.
If given time, it was entirely possible for him to truly break through to the god level. At that time, even without the seal, it wouldn't be easy for the Lord of the Netherworld to continue staying on this Heavenly Jewel Planet to plot the devouring of this plane.
Without the seal, it would be difficult for him to plot the devouring of the entire plane.
Let alone under the condition of being sealed; once a powerhouse of the same level fought him from within the seal and directed the sealing power, he would absolutely not be far from death!
At this moment, the Lord of the Netherworld hated the Dragon Emperor once again. It was this guy who had sealed him for so many years.
Otherwise, after so many years, he would have long since progressed further on the god level through the negative emotions of humans.
Rumble!
The entire Nether Space trembled violently, as if it was about to be completely upturned.
The Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, mobilizing his own power to exert force together with the twelve guardians, driving the seal.
"Dragon Emperor, sooner or later you will pay the price for your actions!"
"I am the Lord of the Netherworld, I control the negative emotions of the world. Even if you seal me, as long as humanity does not go extinct--and even as long as humanity develops, the more prosperous they are, the richer the negative emotions will be--at that time, even if I am sealed, even if I am powerless to attack, I can use this to grow. When that time comes, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
The Lord of the Netherworld's voice was full of resentment.
The Dragon Emperor ignored him and continued to increase the strength of the seal.
Su Wen also released his Saint Energy at this moment.
The Saint Energy melted into the seal.
At the same time, the Heavenly Book appeared in his hand, the Visualization of Heaven and Earth blending into it, and several other Consolidated Equipment also appeared one after another.
The Heavenly Book, the Heavenly Jewels, the Heavenly Primal Pen, the Heavenly Annihilation Divine Mill, and the Heaven and Earth Seal.
Within the Heavenly Book, four pages emerged. Following the strokes of the Heavenly Primal Pen, streaks of lines were traced onto the pages.
Different from Su Wen's previous method of recording pages, this time, with the added support of the Heavenly Primal Pen's strokes, the duration of these pages would be greatly enhanced.
The lines on the pages shifted, forming peculiar characters. After completely taking shape, the pages also transformed and melted into the Heaven and Earth Seal, turning into a special imprint.
The imprint melted into the seal.
Boom!
The seal originally absorbed a large amount of external energy to sustain itself. At this moment, after this imprint melted into the seal, its core for energy conversion seemed to undergo a change, automatically converting into Saint Energy to be controlled by the Dragon Emperor and the twelve guardians.
"This is Saint Energy!"
Controlling the Saint Energy, the Dragon Emperor was instantly incomparably shocked.
Feeling it personally made him even more thrilled, because this power touched upon something even for him.
If his source energy hadn't been damaged and he didn't need to suppress the Lord of the Netherworld with all his might, he would even have the urge to immediately enter secluded meditation and attempt a breakthrough.
"Su Wen, you deserve to die!"
The Lord of the Netherworld roared in anger, releasing a wave of destructive energy that actually broke through the seal in an instant, blasting onto Su Wen's body.
The Dragon Emperor and the others were greatly shocked.
However, Su Wen did not panic.
He was only at the elementary stage of the Heavenly Emperor realm, but his actual strength was a rock-solid peak Heavenly God. At this moment, the Lord of the Netherworld was, after all, separated by the seal, so the power transmitted over was not enough to instantly kill him.
Su Wen had not revealed his strength earlier precisely because he was waiting for this strike from the Lord of the Netherworld.
The Heavenly Annihilation Divine Mill instantly expanded, swallowing this destructive energy.
The Divine Mill shook continuously; clearly, the destructive energy inside was violently vibrating, wanting to destroy the Divine Mill.
Twenty-two Heavenly Jewels, evolved from the fusion of Physical Jewels, Elemental Jewels, and Consolidated Equipment, exerted their power. They circled the Divine Mill, melting into it from different angles, suppressing the Divine Mill in an instant.
"Lord of the Netherworld, if I can break through the Heavenly Change, you get the chief credit. When the time comes, I will let you witness my power."
After Su Wen finished speaking, his body began to fade, disappearing into the Nether Space.
Even the Dragon Emperor was shocked.
Because Su Wen was not transported away by him.
