Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Lei’s divine cognition spread out as he could see every nook and cranny within the area of 50 kilometers, revealing anything from hills and rivers to mosquitoes and bugs.

If it were before, he would only be able to see.

However, as long as Meng Lei was willing, he could just ‘take’ these things out of thin air, to be more exact, teleport over.

“Such an amazing ability. Let me test it out!”

Meng Lei found something in the sedimentary rocks underground as he teleported it over with just a thought. It was a rusty chest.

Meng Lei was overjoyed—this ability was really useful, especially for digging treasures, stealing, or looting treasuries.

“Master, what’s this?” Bubbles asked curiously as he saw Meng Lei standing for a while, and a chest appeared out of nowhere.

“Nothing, just testing out new abilities.”

Meng Lei kept the chest and looked at the Dark Mother Tree. “Mother Tree, thank you for your generosity. This ability was very useful, and I liked it!”

o((⊙_⊙))o?

Dark Mother Tree did not understand. However, the Dark Fairy Empress’ expression changed drastically. “You don’t mean—”

“Haha! It’s exactly what you think it is!” Meng Lei smiled. He was in a good mood. “Her Holiness, now that I’ve settled my stuff, let us carry on.”

“Human, get lost now before I am enraged!” The Spider Goddess’s delicate face was stone cold. “Otherwise, Your Holiness would not mind keeping you here.”

“How imposing, Her Holiness!” Meng Lei laughed coldly, “Then I would like to see how you’re going to make me stay.”

“You’re courting death!” The Spider Goddess was furious as she extended her fingers toward Meng Lei at lightning speed.

Meng Lei vanished instantly and appeared suddenly behind the Spider Goddess, slashing down his machete.

Clink!

The blood-red machete hit the Spider Goddess’ back solidly with flashing sparks. Other than that, she did not take any damage.

“So tough?”

Meng Lei backed off in shock—this Abyss Blade Demon’s companion machete could slice open a divine beast like the Tricannon Pig with ease, but it couldn’t even scratch the Spider Goddess.

Did she add silicone rubber to her back that it became so tough?

“You damned monkey, you have enraged me!”

The Spider Goddess’ face was livid, emitting a chilling murderous intent.

“Die!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Dozens of blood-colored steel needles appeared abruptly and shot toward Meng Lei at lightning speed.

Every single needle had a lurid glow of green—obviously tainted with poison.

“Her Holiness, this human can teleport!” The Dark Fairy Empress reminded loudly, “This level of attack won’t be effective against him!”

“Teleport?!”

The Spider Goddess snorted coldly, thousands of white spider silk gushed out, forming an enormous funnel covering over 1,000 meters of the area around.

“Well then, little rat, let me see how you can teleport in my divine territory!”

The Spider Goddess laughed coldly as she carried on shooting those needles toward Meng Lei.

Meng Lei seemed that he was unable to teleport as the blood-red steel needles flooded him.

“Damned monkey, you’re dead meat!” The Spider Goddess licked her delicious red lips with a smug smile.

These needles were made with her scopulae, which were indestructible.

Plus, they were poisoned, and any half-deity that touched them would die inevitably.

Clink, clink, clink!

Yet, to the Spider Goddess’ surprise, the blood-colored needles came off Meng Lei’s body as if nails were being beaten onto a steel plate, making the sound of clashing metals.

Then they all dropped on the floor.

“What? It didn’t penetrate?”

The Spider Goddess was in disbelief.

“Hey, Spider Goddess, your attack was ineffective against me too. Are you disappointed?”

Meng Lei pulled off his tattered robes and showed off his naked skin—soft, tender, unblemished skin, and a toned muscular body—there were just no wounds!

“Didn’t expect your divine body to be so tough!”

The Spider Goddess was truly shaken up.

“Same for you.” Meng Lei loosened up and made crackling sounds. “Been using weapons for a while now, haven’t gotten loose for a long time now. Come on, let’s battle for three hundred rounds!”

Whoosh!

His voice was still echoing around as Meng Lei had disappeared, appearing abruptly before the Spider Goddess and throwing a punch.

Boom!

Berserking power exploded onto the Spider Goddess as she flew off, followed tightly by Meng Lei. action

Boom, boom, boom!

The punches were like dense raindrops falling one after the other onto the Spider Goddess’ body.

The Spider Goddess was like a baseball being thrown around without any way to counter.

“This...”

“The Spider Goddess is actually getting dominated. Am I seeing things wrong?”

The six half-deities were dazed!

The Dark Fairy Empress was dazed!

The 10,000 Dark Fairies were dazed!

They could not believe what they were witnessing!

Who was the Spider Goddess? The most ancient and terrifying half-deity of the underground world, the being in the same era as the four true gods, the established strongest half-deity of the underground world!

It was absolutely unbelievable that a mighty being like her was dominated in this manner!

“Is this all you got?

“I didn’t use any of my divine weapons, not even my divine fire, yet you are still no match against me. How disappointing.”

Meng Lei punched at random as he taunted, infuriating the Spider Goddess even more.

“Scum, you better die!

“Innate Special Ability: Enchant!”

A pink-colored power of divinity gushed out of the Spider Goddess and flooded Meng Lei instantly.

In an instant, a fascinating scene appeared in Meng Lei’s mind—peaches were blossoming, petals were falling, an undisguised Spider Goddess was flaunting flirtatiously...

Meng Lei’s eyes lit up, and he drooled all over.

“Here’s my chance!”

The Spider Goddess seized upon the opportunity and stuck out eight blood-red spider spears from her back, which were rather similar to Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances, and struck toward Meng Lei at lightning speed.

Whoosh!

Just as the blood spider spears were about to pierce Meng Lei, he vanished!.

“...”

The Spider Goddess was dumbfounded yet again.

“Her Holiness!” Meng Lei appeared over a hundred meters away with an admiring smile. “Wow, that scene just now was really exciting, and I liked it. If you’re willing, we can interact in private. Not now though, there are too many people.”

“You’ve managed to break free of my enchantment!” The Spider Goddess grimaced.

“That counts as enchantment?”

Meng Lei sneered. “Your father has experienced 17,450 tribulations and been through 1,800 setbacks, so I’ve already become indestructible, immune to all poisons, and all evils avoid me. Yours mean nothing.”

“You bastard!” The Spider Goddess gnashed her teeth in rage and scorned, “I’ll kill you!”

“Divine Technique: Imprisonment!”

Dazzling golden power of divinity poured out and shrouded the area within 1,000 meters.

Meng Lei could only feel a dreadful power of imprisonment imposed on his body as he could not move.

“Divine territory plus an Imprisonment Divine Technique managed to limit my movements!” Meng Lei was rather surprised.

“Die!”

The Spider Goddess approached within a breath and flushed out those eight spider spears.

“Okay then, let me finish this off.”

The corners of Meng Lei’s mouth curled up. Right at the moment when the spears were about to hit, black flames spewed out like thick smoke and burned back.

Boom!

The eight spider spears stung on Meng Lei, though they still could not penetrate Meng Lei’s skin, while the black flames stuck onto the Spider Goddess’ body.

“It’s over! The Spider Goddess will be dead for sure!”

The six half-deity watching the battle had the same thought—once caught in the flames of the Netherworld Divine Fire, the fate of this battle was sealed.

Unfortunately, the Spider Goddess did not realize the impending doom as she struck twice again in defiance, seeing that her eight spider spears could not pierce through Meng Lei.

As for the black flames on her body, she was not concerned—with her divine body’s toughness, how could mere mortal flames do any harm to her?

“Damn it! How could it be so tough?”

The Spider Goddess was reluctant to accept defeat. Countless spider webs came out of thin air, which spun around Meng Lei into a cocoon.

“Human, just because your divine body is tough doesn’t mean I can’t kill you.” The Spider Goddess said coldly, “I have many ways to kill you!”

“Kill me? I guess you’ll never see that.” Meng Lei shook his head and smiled. “Her Holiness, I guarantee that you will die before me.”

“You’re almost dead and still so stubborn!”

When the Spider Goddess sneered, she felt a throbbing pain in her chest—the black flames had reached the chest area and were burning relentlessly.

“Damn! How is this possible?!”

The Spider Goddess let off a scream as she tried to beat the flames away to no avail. The Netherworld Divine Fire could burn anything; once caught in it, there was no way to extinguish it.

The more she tried to put out the flames, the more they burned. Soon, she was completely engulfed in black flames.

“Accept your fate, Her Holiness.” Meng Lei lit up the webs on him and stood up. “This is the Netherworld Divine Fire. You’d never withstand it even if your divine body was ten times tougher!”

“Netherworld Divine Fire? This is the Netherworld Divine Fire!?”

The Spider Goddess’s face was ridden with shock. “How could a human like you be able to use the Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s Netherworld Divine Fire? It’s not possible!”

“That isn’t important.”

Meng Lei shook his head.

“Damn it!”

The Spider Goddess was in a state of rage and shock, though any resistance was futile.

In the end, she burnt into a giant 10,000 feet tall black widow with a body full of urticating hair. It danced around in black flames, letting off shrills of screams that would chill anyone to the bones.

“Spider Goddess, tell me if you want to stay alive. I do have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex.”

Meng Lei shook his head slightly and looked at his half-deity subordinates. “Find the treasury of the Dark Fairies and inform me when you’ve located it.”

“Yes, Master!”

The six half-deities were on their toes as they carried out Meng Lei’s order without delay. After witnessing that battle, Meng Lei’s formidable, almighty image was deeply engraved into their hearts. They were now completely submitted to his command and dared not to spring up any thoughts of rebellion.

An indestructible divine body!

A ghostly incomparable speed!

Black flames that could burn virtually anything!

How could a human half-deity be this powerful?

“Human... what do you want?”

The Spider Goddess bellowed deeply as she could not hold on any longer.

“Simple, submit under my command.” Meng Lei crossed his arms and smiled lightly. “Only by submitting can you survive.”

“In your dreams!”

The Spider Goddess bellowed hysterically, “I’ll rather be burned alive, burned into ashes, burned into a malicious spirit than to ever submit myself to you!”

“Okay, then you can die now, off you go.”

“Come back... I’ll submit!”
