Chapter 399: Breaking The Seal, Black Phoenix Demon Grandmaster

The Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent had the size of a low-end existential plane.

,000 heads and 10,000 tails; how huge was that?

Yet, in Moro’s eyes, the Ten Thousand-Tentacled Serpent was still nothing worth mentioning. Meng Lei simply could not imagine how the strongest Void Beasts would look like.

“In the future, I hope to get the chance to witness the true appearance of the Void Beast.” A look of longing appeared in Meng Lei’s eyes.

“That chance will come.”

Meng Lei started to check the second box.

As the box was opened, a meter-long broken sword entered his sight. It was three inches wide, while its surface gave off a chilly glint. Even Meng Lei could feel a biting chill that went all the way into his bones.

Unfortunately, it was broken in half.

Meng Lei held the broken sword in his hand and sliced across his finger gently. A nail came off with ease.

Meng Lei was shocked.

His divine body was comparable to a lesser Chief G.o.d whose nails were incredibly tough. He did not expect that the broken sword could slice through his nail so easily, proving its sharpness.

“This is an incomplete higher Chief G.o.d-level weapon! Even though there’s only half of it, its sharpness is still at the level of a higher Chief G.o.d-level weapon!” Moro exclaimed.

“Good!”

Meng Lei kept the broken sword and opened the next box.

Whoosh!

Just as the box opened, a blinding red light shot out from within. At the same time, an incredibly bloodthirsty, evil, horrifying aura spread around quickly, ravaging the entire alternate dimension. Only those powerful enough like Meng Lei could withstand such aura. If it were Puhaman and the rest, they would have been infatuated by this bloodthirsty aura... entering the path of evil!

“That’s—”

Meng Lei looked inside and saw a beating heart lying in the middle of the box. The amazing thing was that even if it was by itself, it was beating like normal.

It was... alive!

“That’s a Demon Grandmaster’s heart.” Moro took a glance. “From its aura, it should be the heart of the Bloodseeker’s ancestors, likely cut down during the war between G.o.ds and demons.”

A Demon Grandmaster was the Chief G.o.d of Demons.

The Bloodseeker ancestor would naturally be a Bloodseeker Demon Grandmaster.

“No wonder it could become a part of the Nidhogg Chief G.o.d’s collection. It’s the Bloodseeker Demon Grandmaster’s heart, after all,” Meng Lei remarked.

The third box was opened.

A scythe that was fully blood-red in color and emitted a deathly aura entered his eyes. Meng Lei recognized it immediately.

“This is a Grim Reaper Scythe,” Moro explained with a smile. “It’s a Chief G.o.d-level Grim Reaper Scythe, so it should be useful for you.”

“Indeed.”

Meng Lei took out the Grim Reaper Scythe and refined it directly, turning it into his weapon. He then threw the previous one into his spatial ring. It was too weak, and it was time to eliminate it.

The surface of the fourth box was densely packed with laws of nature runes inscribed all over it. Given his understanding and comprehension of the laws of nature, Meng Lei knew the sole purpose of these laws of nature runes—a seal.

“What is sealed inside exactly?”

Meng Lei broke the laws of nature seal.

Boom!

The box shook vigorously, and it intensified further and further as if something was smashing the box from inside in an attempt to break out of the seal.

“Eh?”

Meng Lei and Moro exchanged a look, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes. “What’s sealed within this box?”

“Must be something extraordinary!”

“Duh! How can something sealed by a Chief G.o.d be ordinary—”

Boom!

The box could no longer hold what was inside without the seal. The box exploded as black flames shot out of it.

“Kekeke! I’m out! I’m finally out! Kekeke!”

The black flame jumped up and down, spreading out and gathering from time to time. It laughed out loud, venting out its joy and excitement like a lunatic.

“What the heck is this?”

Meng Lei looked at Moro.

“Judging from its might, that must be a Chief G.o.d.” Moro smiled faintly. “It should be a Black Phoenix.”

“Dark Phoenix?” Meng Lei paused. “You mean the Black Phoenix of the demons?”

“That’s right!”

The truth was as Moro expected. After a bout of excitement, the black flame finally calmed down and transformed into a five-meter-high black phoenix.

Its appearance was extremely similar to a Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s, but its aura was entirely different.

The Divine Netherworld Phoenixes were mighty and imposing, but this Black Phoenix had the aura of bloodl.u.s.t and evilness.

It was evident from their flames. The Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s Netherworld Divine Fire was the flame of extreme heat that could burn enemies till their death. As for the Black Phoenix’s fire, extreme cold would be the fitting description.

One was hot.

The other cold.

They were two absolute extremes.

There was another difference between them. Although the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes’ habitant was the Netherworld, it was a divine beast with the same cultivation methods as other deities and divine beasts. On the other hand, the Black Phoenix was a demon that mainly devoured other demons for its cultivation.

One was a divine beast.

The other a demon.

“So you’re the one who released me?” The Black Phoenix flew in front of Meng Lei as it sized him up with its blood-colored eyes. A hint of surprise flashed across its eyes. “Why are you here? Where’s that Nidhogg?”

“I’m the one who released you.” Meng Lei nodded slightly. “As for Nidhogg, he’s dead.”

“He’s dead?”

A jolt went through the Black Phoenix as it exclaimed, “How did that fellow die? He’s a Chief G.o.d. Who could’ve killed him? Was there another war between G.o.ds and demons?”

“No wars, I killed him,” Meng Lei answered casually. “Since I’ve saved you, how are you going to repay me?”

“You killed that fellow?”

The Black Phoenix looked shocked as it stared at Meng Lei. “You’re lying! You’re merely a lesser Chief G.o.d, so how could you kill that Nidhogg fellow? Just spit it out! Who are you, and why are you here?”

“I don’t care whether you believe it or not.” Meng Lei did not plan to explain himself. “Now tell me how you’re going to repay me. If your answer isn’t satisfying enough, I don’t mind putting you back in that box!”

“Hehe! Repay you? You’re asking a demon to repay you?” The Black Phoenix let out a cold snort. “Since you’re asking for repayment, let me repay you properly then! Arctic Flames!”

It sprayed a black dragon-shaped flame out of its mouth, and it pounced at Meng Lei. It was clear that it wanted to ‘burn’ Meng Lei to death.

“You’re courting death!”

Meng Lei sneered as a silver glint flashed across his eyes. The black dragon flame paused mid-air in an instant.

Immediately after, Meng Lei snapped his finger as a Netherworld Spear shot toward the Black Phoenix.

“The Netherworld Divine Fire! So you’re one of those d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!”

The Black Phoenix snorted as it was about to counter with its wings. However, it realized that its body could no longer move—its wings could not flap, its mouth could not open, its brain could not work...

“What’s going on?”

The Black Phoenix was stunned.

“How dare a mere lesser Demon Grandmaster to behave so audaciously in my presence!”

Meng Lei scoffed as he waved his arm. The Netherworld Spear pierced right through the chest of the Black Phoenix, turning into raging flames that burned intensely.

“Aahhh!”

Meng Lei’s Netherworld Divine Fire had already evolved into its ultimate form. Plus, as his metal-origin, wood-origin, and thunder-origin divine body reached the Great Mastery level, the Netherworld Divine Fire was further enhanced.

The current Netherworld Divine Fire was way more powerful than one from a Divine Netherworld Phoenix that had risen from its ashes nine times. How could a Black Phoenix withstand that?
