Chapter 267 - Netherrealm

The Netherrealm was a place that personally became a domain where the Law of Nether was abundant that Caelum discerned the pattern through the realm. 

Compared to his insight over the nether it was trivial but impressive that he was capable of spreading his Law enough to make a domain and nearly have full control.

For him, this would be easy to accomplish however for people in this tiny world nearly impossible to attain without extensive work which is why it fascinates him.

Explore the nether realm, coming across a few fools trying to fight them but end up dead. He left them for a moment and followed Yu Yan to where the corpse along with residual intent was.

"Is this one where your comrade died?"

"Yes, I want to give them a proper burial as they had sacrificed a large effort against the demon beast."

Caelum nodded then held out his hand changing the once desolate and trimmed land into a flourishing forest and verdant grass that perfectly contrasts neither realm. He places powerful runes and barriers to make sure they won't be disturbed by anyone.

Countless individual gravestones appeared in the land then moments later the ground quaked a massive Stone tablet was formed then used his intent to etch deep profound words into it.

'Here lies heroes who fought for the human race against the Demon beast along with their Spiritual God. Honor their name, blessing shall come. Disturbed their grave, shall face destruction.

Those who do not understand Life and Death would try to revive them since Caelum had the power to do it but this gives dishonor to their sacrifice. 

They had lived and died in ways that showed their convictions and heart. Reviving them would spit into their grave therefore Caelum only took the residual soul placing it into his Wheel of Samsara to give a new life.

The massive stone tablet contained a profound Life and Death intent that who comprehends it shall be blessed and honor the names in the grave.

Yu Yan who witnessed it all shed a tear, satisfied that her comrade in arms had finally gained a proper resting place, unlike the miasmic and gruesome scenery as before. 

"Thank you, Tian, for doing this for me.'

"It's not a problem. For this people had earned my respect for standing up to the bitter end. I wanted to resurrect them but it would only bring shame to them. We shall only hope for good fortune in their next life."

Caelum knew this is a place where his usual demeanor should not be used. He gave one last bow before returning to where his lovers were while holding a mirror.

This artifact is called the Soul Mirror that is able to store souls permanently preventing the soul from future resurrection. Soul Mirror would be useful when the time comes. Yu Yan decided to return to his Inner world since she knew about it. 

Storing the item, He arrived back where only Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were looking at an enormous Zombie Jiao-dragon that had a red orb in its forehead. They were accompanied by another individual that had dark hair tied back wearing white rooms having an elegant posture.

"Husband your back!"

Ye Ziyun yelled out walking up to him giving a passionate kiss then followed by Xiao Ning'er. The display of affection made the other person near them to be perplexed 

The person slightly flushing seeing their elicit display much to Caelum display. He already knew who the person was but wanted to tease him.

"Who are you?"

"I-I am Xiao Yu and your Xiao Ning'er husband?"

"Call me Tian Zun, how should I address young player Xiao yo….or miss Xiao Yu."

He internally laughed out loud seeing her reaction when he sent the words through telepathy. Xiao Yu was bewildered that someone was able to see through her appearance but composed herself before responding.

Even if Caelum had not read the verse he was in then his experience from countless women allowed him to discern someone's gender with a glance. It would break his pride if he were unable to distinguish them 

"Xiao Yun is fine but can I speak privately with Master Tian?"

Caelum did not mind following her far away enough from the other two despite being able to hear them from afar. 

"Speak explain who you are and how you know about my gender?"

"Easy now, I was just teasing you but I do want to ask if it's possible to speak with your father, Netherrealm master."

Xiao Yu was speechless that someone not only knew her gender but who she is. Unaware that Caelum knew more about her as she was a child of an expert that sent her back in time while sealing her cultivation to protect her from the enemy.

She had spiritual roots that made her considered a genius but due to the seal restricting her into a Legend rank.

"...I'll see what I can do."

"Great here as advance payment."

Using his Blade intent to produce a needle that pierces through a specific spot that instantly causes the seal to break and circulate the advancement of energy into her soul realm that rapidly increases her cultivation, reaching the 3rd Heavenly Fate realm surprising her.

She was in awe from the sensation that hadn't noticed that her hair was untied, letting it flow down and appearing like a normal woman.  

"Hehehe you should keep that, it's more suit you than tying it."

Xiao Yu came from her amazement finally noticing her hair was untied blush before quickly trying it back but unable to hide her embarrassment. 

He slightly chuckled at how she tried hiding her flustered state when she opened a book.  

"T-Thank you for helping me breakthrough."

"It's a trivial matter to me, just do what I ask. Use this to call for me when they are ready to meet me. I'll be heading to explore a bit."

She nodded before heading her way to tell Meng Fei or the Netherrealm master about the person she met. 

Meanwhile, Caelum went back to where Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun waited for him asking what happened to Xiao Yu.

"She headed back to do what I asked. Anyway, where are the others?"

"Huyan Lanrou and Xiao Xue along with Duan Jian and Yun Ling had headed to search for a fruit called Spiritual origin Fruit."

He only nodded knowing they are safe and the Spiritual Origin Fruit does not give Origin energy instead increases someone's cultivation. 

The roaring sound came in as the Zombie Jiao-dragon kept rampaging, heading its way towards them. Caelum shifted his gaze then turned to the creature who stopped from its track before bowing. 

He had regained his bloodline that came with his body where the purity of his Dragon bloodline could easily suppress another dragon.  

"You shall be one of my children's pets."

It violently nodded before the orb was removed by Caelum storing it into his treasury to make a pill for Xiao Ning'er as it was compatible with her. 

The Zombie Jiao-dragon was then sent into his Inner world where it would become a pet for his children. 

Later they headed to the direction where the sound of battle could be heard and saw multiple demigods fighting over an enormous skeleton. 

The surrounding had a thick layer of Death law that suppressed the other Demigod rank experts. 

"You two try to reunite with the others while I head inside that tomb."

They nodded before leaving with a kiss then went to the others leaving Caelum that quickly went inside the tomb instantly greeted with walls that had carved paintings about the higher realm looking down at the lower realm.

It was clearly representing the Draconic Ruin realm above from the Tiny World. He headed further into the tomb until reaching a certain region where an enormous heart displayed in the middle having tendrils attached to other Demigod rank experts.

"Hahaha, finally I'll soon regain my body and exact my revenge on that damn Meng Fei! I shall show him the true power of Death!"

A senile voice rang out coming from the heart who noticed Caelum arriving seem to be delighted.

"Another fool coming to my clutches! Young man, I do not know you but I promise your soul won't be a waste!"

The voice arrogantly spoke sending tendrils towards him then instantly bewilderment weighed itself into it when the tendril halted. 

"You're the Spiritual God of Death? What a joke, even the nether realm is more suitable than you to become a spiritual God."
