Chapter 426: Supreme God of The Underworld, Grim Reaper King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The vast universe contained two supreme existential planes—the supreme Celestial Realm and the supreme Netherworld.

The former was owned by the deities, the latter by the demons.

In nature, the supreme Netherworld wasn’t different from the supreme Celestial Realm. They had the same laws of nature, space structure, energy constitution... The difference was only that the lifeforms that occupied them were different.

The supreme Netherworld was as vast and boundless as the Celestial Realm. Inside it lived countless dark creatures, such as the Dead Souls, the Necromancers, the Specters, the Undying, the Abyss Demons, the Fallen Demons, the Skeletons, the Purgatory Kings...

These dark creatures were extremely powerful. They didn’t cultivate a divine body nor the laws of nature. They grew simply by devouring their own kind. As a result, there weren’t many who could really grow to the pinnacle.

Up till now, only two Juggernaut-level existences had been born among the dark creatures—the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King. They had divided up almost half of the realm of the supreme Netherworld, with the other half left to be ruled by the numerous Demon Grandmasters.

The Supreme God of The Underworld lived in the Netherworld Shrine, and the Netherworld Shrine was the source of the Five Great Rivers of the supreme Netherworld. One was sure to reach the Netherworld Shrine by going upstream following the Five Great Rivers.

On this day, Meng Lei’s party came to the Netherworld Shrine. Under Meng Lei’s lead, the three spent only one hour to cross through countless light-years, reached the supreme Netherworld, and then the Netherworld Shrine.

The Netherworld Shrine was on top of a mountain. This was a black snow-covered mountain. The snow melted to form five rivers flowing in five directions.

These were the Five Great Rivers of the supreme Netherworld—the River of Pain, the River of Sighs, the River of Water Scorpions, the River of Forgetfulness, and the River of Hatred.

Meng Lei looked around the Netherworld Shrine, laughed, and said, “I heard the Netherworld Shrine allows entries but no exits. It is the most mysterious forbidden ground of the entire universe. Have you two come to the Netherworld Shrine before?”

“No, Master!”

The Life Dominus shook her head slowly.

“I have come many times!” said the Death Dominus.

“Many times?” Meng Lei was shocked. “You dare to come to the Netherworld Shrine? Weren’t you afraid of getting killed by the Supreme God of The Underworld and the Grim Reaper King?”

“You may not be aware, Master, but the Supreme God of The Underworld is my younger brother!” explained the Death Dominus.

“Your younger brother?” Meng Lei was slightly stunned. “The Supreme God of The Underworld is actually your brother?”

“Yes, Master!” The Death Dominus said slowly, “Hadis and I are brothers by blood. It was only that he obtained the qualification of Chief God at the supreme Netherworld, while I obtained the qualification of Chief God at the supreme Celestial Realm. From then on, he became a Chief God at the Netherworld, and I at the Celestial Realm!”

“I see.” Meng Lei nodded. “Call him!”

“Yes, Master!”

The Death Dominus nodded slightly and then looked at the Netherworld Shrine on top of the snow-covered mountain. “Hadis, your master is here. Hurry over to greet him!”

A soft “Eh?” came from the inside of the Netherworld Shrine. A tall and strong body dressed in a black robe abruptly appeared in mid-air. He looked at the Death Dominus, frowned, and said, “Hadas, it’s all fine that you are here, but what are you bringing random people here for?”

His gaze fell upon Meng Lei and the Life Dominus. He directly ignored Meng Lei and looked toward the Life Dominus. His irises shark slightly. “Life Dominus? You actually dare to come here!”

“Hadis, watch yourself!” The Death Dominus scolded. “Are you not greeting Master yet?”

“Master?” The Supreme God of The Underworld frowned immediately. “Hadas, what’s up with you after all?”

“Let me tell you about it.” Master stepped forward. “I had a battle with your elder brother, and he lost. Thus, I became his Master, understood?”

“How dare you enslave Hadas!?”

The Supreme God of The Underworld was furious. The rolling powers of the Underworld condensed into a giant palm covering the sky and slammed toward Meng Lei like a huge mountain.

“Hadis, don’t be presumptuous!”

Upon seeing this, cold sweat emerged on the Death Dominus’ forehead. He hurried to speak to stop him. Meng Lei waved a hand to signal to him to stay calm. And then, he punched a fist right at it.

Boom!

The fist and the palm collided. Following a huge roar, the sky-covering giant palm was smashed and shattered. The Supreme God of The Underworld staggered back a few steps. Meng Lei stepped right up, approaching him in a ghostly manner, and pressed one finger against the center of his eyebrows.

“I only need to press down this finger, and you will surely die. Do you believe it?” said Meng Lei lightly.

“Who exactly are you?”

The Supreme God of The Underworld stared at Meng Lei, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He had only noticed the Life Dominus but not Meng Lei at the start because Meng Lei looked too ordinary, as ordinary as a normal human. But he really didn’t expect that ordinary-looking Meng Lei actually possessed such horrible battle prowess.

The power to break the Netherworld with one punch was simply terrible!

“You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I have the strength to kill you any time, and that’s enough,” said Meng Lei lightly.

“You—”

The Supreme God of The Underworld’s tone sounded choked for a moment, and he said with a low voice, “What do you want?”

“Submit to me, be my servant,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.

“No way!”

The Supreme God of The Underworld looked like a cat whose tail got stepped on. He yelled with a stern voice, “I am the Supreme God of The Underworld. It’s impossible that I will submit to anyone!”

“Not going to submit? Then prepare to die!”

Meng Lei’s gaze chilled.

“Hadis, surrender to Master!” The Death Dominus hurriedly spoke. “Master has terrible strength, surpassing Supreme Gods. It’s totally impossible for you to defeat him!”

“Hadas, you have fallen!”

The Supreme God of The Underworld looked toward the Death Dominus. “You, a proper Death Dominus, actually willingly submitted to him. It’s my shame to have an elder brother such as you!”

“Hadis, you are just as stupid as ever!” The Death Dominus’ facial expression looked ugly. “Do you know how strong Master is? Let me tell you! Previously I merged the 43 Chief God divine cores of the supreme Celestial Realm and almost controlled the entire supreme Celestial Realm, but I still wasn’t able to beat Master. You think you can beat him? What a joke!”

“What are you talking about?” The facial expression of the Supreme God of The Underworld changed drastically. He said with disbelief, “Is this for real?”

“Hadis, you are my own brother, I can’t possibly lie to you!” The Death Dominus sighed and said slowly, “It’s a disgrace to submit to other people, but it’s a fortune to submit to Master! Hadis, don’t make useless struggles. There is no point at all!”

“Hadas, are you speaking the truth?” The Supreme God of The Underworld said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “Don’t lie to me!”

“Why should I lie to you?”

The Death Dominus similarly said through a telepathic message via his divine spirit. “You also know that I am a proud person, but after the battle previously, I wholeheartedly submitted to Master...”

After a series of communication, the Supreme God of The Underworld looked at Meng Lei differently. After mobilizing 90% of the powers of the Celestial Realm, he still couldn’t beat Meng Lei!

Just how strong was Meng Lei, exactly?

“Submit, Hadis,” Meng Lei said dispassionately.

“I submit!”

Hadis finally bowed his noble head. He was proud indeed but not so proud as to give up life for death. What was pride in comparison to life?

After that, Hadis gave up his divine spirit origin energy, and Meng Lei casually refined it.

“I will give you a task,” said Meng Lei lightly. “Collect all the gold, Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, and Demonic Crystals of the Supreme Netherworld!”

Dark creatures called Divinity Crystals, Demonic Crystals, and they were the same kind of things by nature.

“Yes, Master!”

Although the Supreme God of The Underworld felt confused by such an order, he dared not disobey and still took his orders and left. Meng Lei looked in one direction, his lips curving upward.

“Lord Grim Reaper King, since you are here, why don’t you show yourself? It’s not fitting for your position to hide!”

“Cough, cough!”
