Chapter 26: Alaca's Sigh

Boom! Alaca Palace was split in two!

In the midst of the smoke and fire, a tall figure appeared, his curly hair fluttering in the wind, his ferocious face no different from a ferocious god from prehistoric times.

Even though he wasn't a Realm Lord, Alaca was the unparalleled Nether King of ancient times, whose mere mention would cause the entire six realms to tremble.

Hell, I may have retired, but I'm not someone anyone can bully!

- Humph!

Nathan took out a gourd of Overlord Blood Sacrifice Wine, brought it to his mouth, and took a big gulp. This was the strongest wine in the three realms; if it wasn't for a Great Emperor, he couldn't drink it; otherwise, his entire body would turn to ashes.

As the heat increased, his heart started to burn intensely. He poured all the remaining wine over his head and shouted towards Alaca.

Alaca, how can you question me? You're just a deserter, running away from battle. When the Demon Realm needed you the most, you said you wanted to retire. You are deserving of termination!

With that, he jumped into the air, the karma fire erupted and spread throughout the world, and the Fire Blade slashed down hard on Alaca's head.

Asura's Slash!

Nathan used up all his strength in this strike. He was the weakest Nether King; it was no exaggeration to say that Alaca could kill him with a snap of his fingers. If he didn't use all his strength now, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.

Hell, let's talk slowly!

Alaca, don't blame him; he couldn't control himself.

The other Nether Kings didn't participate in the battle and stood from afar to offer advice.

But Nathan didn't want to stop; the blade became even more fierce, as if he had to split Alaca in half to feel satisfied.

Clang!

- Huh?

Alaca's bare hands caught Nathan's full-strength blade, completely stopping him three inches in front of his head, no matter how hard he tried to advance.

He used his physical strength to resist the Emperor's treasure! If you didn't see it with your own eyes, everyone would think it was just a myth.

- Hell! If you continue to do so, don't blame me for being cruel and leaving the Ten Great Kings without a single member for eternity!

Alaca's cold voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing the Bright Realm's living beings to panic. Alaca had always done what he said; even if you were the Hansen Demon Lord, as long as you didn't please him, he would dare to kill you.

Nathan's face turned pale, and although he was a bit hesitant, he still resolutely did not put his sword back, continuing to slash down at Renowned Slash.

This sword carried with it a lifetime of understanding of Hell's great path; it was the path he had cultivated from the bottom up, from a small demon after ten thousand years of reaching the peak to becoming the Nether King looking down on all living beings.

This is your Dao? If your dao is only this, how can it hurt me?

Alaca spoke in a low voice, not blocking this saber, but raising his face to the sky and roaring, unleashing all the cultivation and great dao within him. The terrifying aura seemed to want to crush the heavens and earth.

Despite possessing the highest level of cultivation as a Great Emperor, Nathan couldn't withstand the pressure, causing him to fly thousands of feet away.

In the distance, Steven swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This time, that bastard is dead for sure. Alaca had never fought another Nether King before. In the dream, he attempted to fight the Nether King once, and to his surprise, no one of his level could match him.

Nathan had just managed to get up in the ruins of a mansion when he saw Alaca appear before him like a demon, sealing all the spiritual power and divine abilities within his body and leaving him feeling numb.

The Laughing Slayer, forbidden divine ability?

Nathan was extremely frightened. This is the magic that enables you to approach your opponent at the fastest speed, seals them completely in a matter of breaths, and leaves them unable to do anything but watch you kill.

The age slash can be considered taboo magic! If you practice for another ten thousand years, when the Dao time is complete, you will definitely be able to hurt me, but now it is not enough...

Alaca did not kill him after using The Laughing Slayer, but only wanted to let him know the gap in strength between the two of them.

What precisely constitutes taboo magic?

Nathan struggled to rise; Alaca's existence was too terrifying to mock. It should be noted that Nathan had engaged in combat with the immortal lord for a day and a night, yet he managed to safely retreat, allowing him to witness his terrifying strength.

Nathan's question prompted Alaca to respond without hesitation:

Taboo is a form of enlightenment that is not dependent on the realm. Ordinary cultivators can never achieve it. Only by experiencing it yourself, seeking this kind of enlightenment, and resonating with it can one understand taboo. Even if I gave you The Laughing Slayer now, you couldn't use it. The Laughing Slayer contains my desire to seek the Dao; it is a simulation of me steadfastly pursuing the goal of reaching the peak on the cultivation path. As long as that "peak" exists, I will quickly approach and climb it.

- Enlightenment?

Nathan took a deep breath. I finally understood why this secret realm existed. Without fully experiencing and integrating into the ancient era, there is no way to learn The Laughing Slayer. Only by meeting the remnant souls and remnant thoughts of the strong people of the six realms and cultivating their wills can one grasp the profound meaning of the taboo.

If the Laughing Slayer has hidden your desire to advance forever, why do you want to leave the demon world?

Nathan suddenly asked a question that stunned Alaca.

The Heavenly Lord is a human. She can roam freely in heaven and earth with her cultivation; no one can keep her. However, she accepted the risk of self-sacrifice to save the lives of humanity. She considered it an honor and a worthy one. What are you relying on to justify your decision to give up? You are not worthy!

Nathan's cold voice rang out, and he punched Alaca in the chest, sending him flying straight back and crashing into a mountain range. Seeing this mountain range shatter into pieces, the people watching the two sides fight could not help but panic.

Oh my god, he injured Alaca!

Kaden was surprised.

The Laughing Slayer also expressed his disbelief.

Steven mumbled as he watched Nathan's figure ascend into the sky.

He really is too similar to that guy, from his temperament to his actions. Could it be that, after millions of years, we can finally see such a character reappear in the world?

Nathan rushed into the sky with his fist clenched and continued to strike down at Alaca, who was struggling to get up.

Although I am not as good as you, I also understand a principle: born as a demon, die as a demon. Should the destruction of the demon world occur one day, will you retreat into hiding and refuse to emerge? Can you find happiness in solitude?

Nathan knocked Alaca down with another punch, immediately grabbing his collar and continuing to strike.

Finally, when Alaca spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the Demon Lord from Hansen Demon Lord Palace could not hold back anymore, and his voice spread throughout Bright Realm.

Hell, that is my brother!

Don't pretend it's your brother; if you dare to run away in the middle of the battle, I'll beat you too!

The Overlord's Blood Sacrifice Wine made the anger rise above Nathan's head. He had lost all sense of fear, grasping the Fire Flame Blade and hurling it directly towards the Hansen Demon Lord Palace.

- Insolent!

The demonic aura from the Hansen Demon Lord Palace filled the sky and earth, and a black hand reached out from the demon palace as if it wanted to suppress Nathan.

Steven was terrified and trembled:

Hansen's residual thoughts transformed the demon lord, not an illusion! You dare to hit his brother and even throw the blade towards the Hansen Demon Lord Palace; you're truly as bold as the sky!

If the pressure emitted from Alaca before was like a million pounds of black iron pressing down on Nathan, then the demon lord's hand was ten times more terrifying; once it struck down, even the Nether King would have his soul scattered, disappearing forever into the world.

- Kill!

Nathan faced life and death without fear, as if he had gone mad; his hair was disheveled, and he swung his fists into the air, wanting to fight the demon lord. Oh no, the Demon Lord's remnant thoughts are no longer sane; he won't show mercy...

The moment Nathan's fist was about to touch the Demon Lord's hand, a heavy sigh sounded, the Demon Lord's grasp disintegrated, and the illusory secret realm gradually dissipated, revealing the decayed palace in the ancient ruins.

Kaden woke up, his eyes filled with fear as he looked towards the phantom of the curly-haired man who was facing away from them, his hands clasped behind him. His back was straight, like the eternal heaven and earth that could never fall.

Alaca King's remnant thoughts!

The Laughing Slayer was silent, then looked towards Nathan, who was also gradually waking up. He revealed his arrogant and unwilling personality to face the heavens, the demons, and the gods in this battle for the inheritance, shaking both The Laughing Slayer and Kaden.

However, the moment he woke up, he immediately fled, employing numerous escape techniques. However, in the real world, he was still just a young monk with a Qi Condensation of 39,999 zhang. Young Steven quickly grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.

Why are you running so fast, Nether King?

Young Steven smiled, darkened his face, and then his right leg swung up repeatedly, causing Nathan to scream in pain, his painful cry resounding through the blue sky.

So majestic? You dare to hit Alaca King, and you even throw your sword back to Hansen Demon Lord Palace. Do you really think you are the Great Emperor?

While kicking him madly, Steven questioned.

Seeing this scene, Mia couldn't help but cry and laugh, understanding that this bastard must have just done something bad in the secret realm.

Kaden turned and turned but couldn't find Quentin.

Finally, the Alaca King's phantom sighed, still not turning around.

That person was too greedy for lust; he abandoned his body and used his remnant soul to enter the illusory world I created, accepting eternal damnation!

A genius with the potential to become a reincarnation expert simply died, destroyed by his own lust.
