Emperor Hades' palace
"This is Emperor Hades' palace?"
Asked the woman who'd once been a Purple-Gold Rakshasa. Although she'd lived for a very long time and was a Divine General of the yao race, this was her first time visiting Emperor Hades' palace.
"Yes."
With her husband's confirmation, she frowned and looked at the palace.
It felt very ordinary to her. The way she saw it, since it was Emperor Hades' palace, it naturally had to be very imposing. But just from the outside, it didn't seem as grand as the residence of a subsidiary tribe's patriarch.
It was then that she noticed two pitch-black gems on the palace walls. The burly man noticed her gaze and immediately tried to stop her ….
"Pfft."
But it was too late.
By the time he made his move, the woman had already spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the faint black waters of the River Styx red.
She took several steps back, her face pale, her entire body trembling as if she were suffering from malaria.
It was hard to imagine that she, a Divine General of the yao race and a half-step ruler, would be so weak. But when she glanced at the black gems, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and hurriedly retreated.
"Die 'er!"
The burly man's heart sank when he saw the woman's pale face. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw countless sea beasts converging on them.
They'd all been attracted by the scent of blood. There were tens of thousands of them, and even the weakest of them was at least a ninth-stage earth supreme.
The burly man constantly unleashed his aura, intimidating the sea beasts into not daring to attack. At the same time, he roared at the palace.
"Yao Divine General Sha Pengkun requests an audience with His Majesty, Emperor Hades."
"Yao Divine General Sha Pengkun requests an audience with His Majesty, Emperor Hades."
"Yao Divine General Sha Pengkun requests an audience with His Majesty, Emperor Hades."
There were three hurried shouts, and the burly man channeled the power of the yao gods into them. The surrounding sea beasts were already growing restless. They'd already gathered enough sea beasts to attack Sha Pengkun and his wife.
"Yao …."
Sha Pengkun's expression grew more and more agitated as the sea beasts grew more and more ferocious.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to pay his respects again, the palace doors rumbled open.
The sea beasts that had gathered around Sha Pengkun and his wife immediately dispersed when the doors to the residence opened. A young man walked out of the residence and cupped his hands towards them.
"Master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in and have a chat."
After ten minutes, the young man brought Sha Pengkun to a large hall.
"Master, the two Diremonster Generals have arrived."
The young man bowed towards the highest point in the hall. Sha Pengkun and his wife felt an aura that made their hearts tremble.
Master of the Nether River, Emperor Hades!
"Sha Kun Peng greets Your Majesty, Emperor Hades."
"Yu Die greets Your Majesty, Emperor Hades."
Both of them prostrated themselves on the ground, burying their heads deep into the ground, not daring to look at the man sitting on the throne. The man sitting on the high seat was also surrounded by a faint mist, and outsiders couldn't see his appearance at all.
"Yes."
An indifferent reply came from every corner of the hall. Before long, Sha Pengkun and his wife felt a wave of energy surround them, lifting them off the ground.
At the same time, Yu Die felt a wave of energy enter her body, instantly healing her wounds.
"Many thanks, Your Majesty Emperor Hades."
The Hades Emperor bowed deeply towards the Hades Emperor.
"The Violet-Gold Rakshasa Diremonster General must have seen the Black Demon Dragon's eyes outside."
The Black Demon Dragon's eyes!
Sha Pengkun and Yu Die instantly froze. They suddenly remembered ….
The only creature worthy of being called a Black Demon Dragon was the one who had thrown the Yao and God Realms into chaos.
The primordial Black Demon Dragon.
Back then, he'd been the dragon race's most likely successor to the Dragon God position. However, something had happened to him, and he'd demonized and joined the demons.
With his addition, the demons were like a tiger that had grown wings.
They wantonly attacked the God Realm and the Yao Realm, and even the Nether River couldn't rest in peace.
Emperor Hades was furious, so he personally suppressed the Black Demon Dragon, took its eyes, and placed them on his palace. He returned the dragon's bones, tendons, and other items to the dragons. In order to atone for his crimes, the dragons used his tendons, bones, and skin to forge three great divine artifacts.
The number one divine artifact, the Xuan-Yuan Sword, was one of them.
Fortunately, Yu Die wasn't weak. If she'd been just a little weaker, the fiendish energy emanating from the Black Demon Dragon's eyes would have caused her body to explode and die.
"There's no need to thank me. It was nothing more than a slight effort."
Emperor Hades's tone was as indifferent as ever, then he turned to the youth in the hall.
"Go and bring Prince Sha here."
The youth left to carry out his orders. Sha Pengkun and Yu Die were even more grateful.
"Thank you, Emperor Hades."
They'd come here for their son, but they hadn't expected Emperor Hades to have predicted this all along. He didn't even need them to say anything ….
No!
Since when was Emperor Hades so easy to talk to?
Sha Pengkun immediately realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but frown.
"Emperor Hades."
"Divine General Yu, Divine General Sha, didn't you come here for your son? What's wrong? Did I make a mistake? "
An indifferent reply reverberated through the hall. Sha Pengkun sensed something was wrong with his tone and immediately bowed.
"Your Majesty Emperor Hades, there's no mistake."
"In that case, Divine General Sha, what need is there for that expression?"
It was impossible to tell whether Emperor Hades was happy or angry. Sha Pengkun revealed a pained expression. At that moment, the youth returned with the youth Ye Zichen had just killed.
However, the youth was only a soul. His eyes were tightly shut, and he had no consciousness whatsoever.
"Ming 'er."
Yu Die immediately recognized the soul as her son. Her voice was filled with grief. She almost ran over, but Sha Pengkun held her back. Furthermore, as soon as the soul entered the hall, it flew straight towards Emperor Hades.
Sha Pengkun and Yu Die watched nervously as Sha Pengkun's soul landed in Emperor Hades's hands. Before long, the soul flew back towards them.
They anxiously shielded the soul, then Emperor Hades spoke again.
"I've already sealed your son's three spiritual and six physical souls. All you have to do is reconstruct his body and he can be reborn."
"Your Majesty Emperor Hades! I, Sha Pengkun, will never forget your benevolence. "
He knelt on one knee. When Yu Die saw Sha Pengkun kneel, she knelt as well.
"I will definitely repay this kindness!"
"Of course you will!" Emperor Hades didn't comment on his reply. He snorted. "You should know that the value of my resurrection isn't small. Today, I've brought your son back to life. You owe me …. A huge favor. "
"But of course …." Sha Pengkun smiled wryly. "So long as Your Majesty Emperor Hades asks, I'll do everything in my power to accomplish it."
Who would have thought that Emperor Hades would fall silent at his words?
After a long while, he finally spoke again.
