The middle-aged woman's face was as pale as a piece of paper. She madly poured out her spiritual power to form a protective spiritual shield to resist the three destructive elements. Unfortunately, it could only maintain a temporary balance.
Although her life was not in danger in the short term, she knew that she could not hold on for long. Most of the spiritual power in her body had been consumed, and she would soon run out of energy. At that time, only death awaited her.
She never thought that a Demigod from a low-level plane could force her into such a desperate situation. It would be a lie to say that she did not regret it. If she had the chance to do it all over again, she would never seek death just to help Odin with this "small favor".
"Surrender or die."
Ding Ning looked at the middle-aged woman coldly, like a divine dragon looking down at the ants under his feet, and asked arrogantly and domineeringly.
It was not that he was soft-hearted or protective of the fairer sex, but he was very interested in the origin of this middle-aged woman.
Most importantly, this person could display real magical power under the circumstances of the shackles of heaven and earth, which could even pose a threat to his life, an ultimate Demigod. He had to figure out what was going on.
However, he had still underestimated the arrogance in the bones of those who came from a higher plane. Although the middle-aged woman's face was pale, she did not panic in the face of the threat of death. Instead, she revealed a ruthless and cold smile. "A mere Demigod wants me to submit to you? That's just a dream. "
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Ding Ning was surprised to hear this and asked with some doubts.
The middle-aged woman said proudly with a resolute look, "A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. The word" surrender "has never existed in my dictionary."
After saying that, without waiting for Ding Ning to reply, he looked at Debra, who was forcing herself to be calm but had a ghastly pale face. An unprecedented gentleness and kindness appeared in his eyes. "Debra, are you afraid of death?"
Debra bit her lips tightly. She seemed to see that her master had made up her mind to die. A touch of determination appeared on her pale face, and she shook her head firmly.
"Hahaha, good. You are indeed my beloved disciple. Debra, you are still young. I will never let you die."
The middle-aged woman, Shi Linlang, suddenly laughed loudly. Her laughter was full of gratification and overbearingness.
Looking at this scene, Ding Ning suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He felt that this woman seemed to have a backup plan.
As expected, in the next moment, Shi Linlang curled her lips and said proudly, "Ding Ning, I have to say, you're very strong. In this plane, you're definitely an extremely talented genius. Unfortunately, no matter how talented you are, you're still a frog at the bottom of a well. You don't know how powerful and vast the high-level plane I'm in is. Do you really think I'm just a mere pericelestial expert?"
Ding Ning stared at Shi Linlang without blinking. He frowned with a serious expression and said, "I definitely did not sense wrongly. Your aura is only that of a pericelestial. Do you have some secret technique to hide your cultivation?"
"Hahaha!"
Shi Linlang laughed maniacally. A look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said proudly, "Back then, we were ordered to kill Zeus, and accidentally got sucked into a black hole and came to this plane. Our battleship was destroyed, and we were heavily injured. Our strength was greatly reduced, and the hunters became the prey instead. We were hunted down by the Angel Army hired by Zeus, and we were forced to escape into the Scarlet Purgatory to recuperate. Countless years have passed, and my injuries have long healed. If not for the great changes in the world and the pursuit of the Heavenly Axiom of this plane, we had no choice but to seal our cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, I can kill you with a flick of my finger."
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out involuntarily, "So you guys are from Planet Crims."
Shi Linlang's eyes widened in shock. She stared at Ding Ning as if she had seen a ghost, and screamed,
"How do you know about Planet Crims?"
After getting the exact answer, Ding Ning groaned in his heart. F * ck, he had never thought that the so-called Hellfire would actually be the people from Crims who were here to kill Zeus. This was going to be troublesome.
After all, when Zeus first came to Earth, even if he was not as strong as he was now, he was at least at the early stage of Soul Formation.
Coupled with the Nether King Hades, the Sea God Poseidon, his seven aunts, and the Angel Mercenaries, their strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
However, even with such tyrannical battle prowess, they were still chased by Shi Linlang and the others to the point that they had nowhere to run. It could be seen how terrifying the strength of this group of people was.
This also solved a question that had been puzzling him all this time.
According to Mileus, after Zeus occupied Mount Olympus, the Angel Mercenaries under his command went on expeditions to expand his territory.
At that time, he was still puzzled. With the Angel Mercenaries' strength, who else on Earth, which was still in the wilderness at that time, apart from Kunlun Ruins, who else could fight against them?
However, from the looks of it now, the Angel Mercenaries' biggest enemy might be Shi Linlang and the rest who were chasing after them.
However, after Shi Linlang and the rest were sucked into the black hole, their battleship crashed, and they were seriously injured. Their strength was not at its peak at all, so they changed from being hunters to prey. They were chased by the Angel Mercenaries and had no choice but to escape into the Bloody Purgatory to survive.
"Tell me, what's your relationship with Zeus? Why do you know about Planet Crims? "
Shi Linlang asked sternly when she saw Ding Ning in a daze and did not answer.
"Zeus is my father-in-law."
Ding Ning did not want to get into trouble. He wanted to explain and clear his relationship with Zeus. However, when he thought about how Athena was already his woman even though she had ulterior motives, it was not his style to ignore the truth to avoid trouble, so he admitted it frankly.
"Good, very good. Zeus, that damn thief, broke the void and ascended to the God Realm with the Lightning and Storm Shield that he swindled from Marchioness Kogusman. We can't do anything to him for now. Since you're his son-in-law, let's collect some interest from you first."
Shi Linlang said while gritting her teeth.
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
According to Millies, Zeus was being hunted down because he was having an affair with Marchioness Kgussman. He felt that the marchioness was being too overbearing.
After all, it took two hands to clap. Zeus and the marchioness' affair could not be blamed entirely on one party. After all, the marchioness could not control her own wife.
But now, after hearing Shi Linlang's words, he came to a sudden realization. It turned out that Zeus had not only been having an affair, but he had also swindled two divine weapons from that flirtatious marquise. No wonder Marquis Kogusman was so persistent and wanted to get rid of him.
He believed that Millies would not lie to him, which meant that even the inherited memories of the blood pool did not record the hidden story. It was an extremely secretive matter.
As for Zeus, it was rumored that his weapons were a sword and a shield. The sword was called the Lightning Sword, and it contained the terrifying power of thunder. Some people called it Thunderbolt. As for the shield, it was called Aegis, and it was said to be forged from the skin of a goat that was filled with magic power. Even lightning couldn't damage it.
Now, it seemed that the original name of the Aegis Shield should have been the Shield of the Storm. It was just that Zeus had changed its name.
Ding Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had thought that Zeus was just a dissolute aristocrat with a bit of a problem in his style, but he did not expect that Zeus was a gigolo who had cheated him of two divine weapons. Since Zeus was living off a woman to such an extent, Ding Ning could not help but admire him.
What depressed him the most was that Shi.
It was obvious that Linlang could not do anything to Zeus, who had already ascended to the Divine Realm. Linlang was prepared to vent all his anger on Linlang. He felt that he was very innocent.
However, it was his fault for not controlling his lower body and f * cking the daughter of that old hooligan Zeus. Since Athena was his woman, it wasn't too unjust for him to take the blame.
"Die!"
Shi Linlang obviously hated Zeus, the culprit that caused her to fall into the Three Realms, to the bone. Earlier, she was still hesitating whether she should fight to the death with Zeus, but when she heard Ding Ning personally admit that it was related to Zeus, her eyes turned red, and she shouted furiously as she stretched out her hand to slap the space between her brows, instantly undoing the seal, causing her cultivation to instantly rise steadily.
Mid-stage pericelestial … late-stage pericelestial … peak-stage pericelestial … early-stage pericelestial … mid-stage pericelestial …
Only when he reached the Peak of the Soul Formation Stage did he stop. His powerful and terrifying aura surged wildly, smashing the Destruction Elements that Ding Ning controlled into pieces.
Ding Ning's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. This was the first time he faced an expert at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm who was not bound by the shackles of heaven and earth. The terrible pressure that was like the power of heaven made his back cold and his scalp numb.
Fortunately, no matter what, he had once faced the projection of the half-step Immortal level Ash 18. Compared to the terrifying pressure that he felt when facing Ash 18, where he could only obediently wait for death, at least when facing an expert at the peak of the Soul Formation Stage like Shi Linlang, he was not without the slightest bit of room to struggle.
"In such a low-level plane, I can only maintain the strength of the Soul Formation Stage for a short five minutes. After five minutes, the Heavenly Dao will send down punishment, and I will also be seriously injured. However, five minutes is enough for me to kill you hundreds and thousands of times."
Shi Linlang's body emitted a faint light, like a god descending to the world. Perhaps she wanted to enjoy Ding Ning's expression of fear before he died, so she spoke energetically.
"Since that's the case, why haven't you made your move?"
Ding Ning's muscles tightened, and he stared at her as if he was facing a great enemy, but his expression was unusually calm. Although he knew that he was not Shi Linlang's opponent after the seal was undone, he was confident that if he wanted to leave, she would definitely not be able to stop him.
Shi Linlang sneered disdainfully and said, "Could it be that you think I will be merciful to you?"
"I never daydream," Ding Ning said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
The blood all over his body was constantly boiling, and his heart was filled with a crazy desire to fight. He did not intend to escape, and wanted to take the opportunity to see how big the gap between him and an expert at the peak of the Soul Formation Stage was.
Shi Linlang's gaze was a little strange. She did not expect Ding Ning to have the courage to fight with her. This was really beyond her expectations.
"If I'm not wrong, as long as you make your move, there will be no room for maneuver. The punishment of the Heavenly Dao is not something you can easily bear. So, you want to subdue me without fighting, right?"
Ding Ning's eyes flashed, and there was a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke calmly.
Because he suddenly remembered that in order to break through to the Soul Formation Stage, one needed to leave a mark on the Heavenly Dao. If he wanted to truly exert the strength of the Soul Formation Stage, he must obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao to be able to control the power of heaven and earth.
And Shi Linlang was not a person of the Three Realms at all. She came from a different plane, so it was impossible for her to leave a mark on the Heavenly Dao. If she forcibly exerted the strength of the Soul Formation Stage, she would have to bear the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, when she said that she could exert the strength of the Soul Formation Stage for five minutes, she was simply lying to herself. As long as she made a move, she would immediately suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. This kind of backlash was probably something she could not bear at all.
So, from the beginning to the end, she actually did not really think of using the strength of the Soul Formation Stage. Instead, she was bluffing, wanting to use the aura of the Soul Formation Stage to scare him away. That way, she would not have to bear the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, and could also resolve the current crisis.
