Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 1000 - 947: Myth and Reality (2 Chapters in 1)_2

The spirit is nearly collapsed.

"I'll ask you one more time, have you ever heard of the Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect?" Qin Heng asked indifferently, his tone calm, without a trace of urgency, as if the True Immortal overlooking the palm of his hand held Hera.

"Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect, Nine Extremes, Netherworld Killing... I, I think I've heard of it." Hera said weakly, now resembling a patient on the brink of death, exhausted and ready to die at any moment, could only lie there, speaking in a feeble voice.

Her appearance once again made Gu Xuanxuan and Elisa realize the terrifying strength of Qin Heng, too powerful, truly too powerful!

"Who told you about it, and where did you hear it?" Qin Heng's eyes lit up, he asked solemnly, "And now with the authority of the God of Death that you possess, is the power you can wield related to this?"

All of Hera's powers actually stem from the Divine Blood within her, and the essence of this Divine Blood is the power of the Law Authority, which in Qin Heng's understanding is the Nether Killing Force, perfectly matching.

In other words, Hera's God of Death Authority is, in fact, equivalent to the Nether Killing Force infused into her bloodline.

This situation, Qin Heng had seen in his past life.

The Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect forged puppet Dao soldiers using a similar method, forcibly refining the Nether Killing Force into the flesh of the Dao soldiers, granting them the ability to utilize the Nether Killing Force effortlessly.

However, compared to the Dao soldiers Qin Heng had seen before, Hera's mental state is clearly better, much more lively, more like a puppet Dao soldier of the Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect with independent self-awareness.

"I, I was exiled to the Eternal Darkness Abyss shortly after my voice emerged; it is the realm of death, a place of despair without light or future." Hera said in a weak voice, "Before I went there, my father, the God of Trickery Loki, gave me a jade stone that seemed to originate from your eastern lands, saying it was something from the Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect, telling me to shatter the stone when I arrived in the Darkness Abyss, and I would gain great power to command death."

"Loki, Eternal Darkness Abyss?" Qin Heng continued to ask, "Where is the Eternal Darkness Abyss you mentioned?"

"Right in the core of the Milky Way." Hera answered, "Humans have investigated through so-called astronomy, saying that there exists a black hole, enormous in mass, devouring everything, but actually, there is the Darkness Abyss, a tomb of deities, the final resting place of all death."

"Nine Nether Crevice?" Qin Heng frowned slightly.

Hera's description brought to his mind the Nine Nether Crevice from his past understanding, the rift between the current world and the Nine Nether, allowing Nether Qi and even evil spirits to pass through into the human world.

If that's the case, Hera could indeed utilize a Secret Technique similar to the Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect, transforming the Nine Nether Qi emerging from the crevice into Nether Killing Force, infusing it within herself to gain the Nether Killing Force, known as the God of Death Authority.

"The key should lie in that jade stone Loki gave her, and although the Darkness Abyss she described resembles the Nine Nether Crevice, it is different; at least a normal Nine Nether Crevice could never be the destination." Qin Heng pondered slightly, thinking, "I still need to find the God of Trickery Loki to further inquire."

"I, I have answered your question, can you let me go?" Hera looked at Qin Heng with pleading eyes, eyes she had never used before, but she did not want to die, knowing the terrifying nature of death, she did not want to die!

"I'll ask you one last question." Qin Heng said blandly, "Your father, the God of Trickery Loki, where is he?"

"Are you looking for my damned father?" Hera was stunned at first, then started laughing, despite her extreme weakness, she laughed so much her whole body shook, and tears fell, "You actually want to find him, give up, he is the God of Trickery, only he finds people, no one can find him!"

"Then if I kill you, will he come to find me?" Qin Heng asked.

"You cannot kill me, I am a deity, and you are a human, besides, besides, my father is extremely indifferent, even if you kill me, he might not appear!" Hera was somewhat flustered.

"Earlier you said if I killed you, your father wouldn't spare me, and now you change your words?" Qin Heng sneered, "No matter, killing you, if he doesn't appear, then if I wipe out the entire Asa Divine Clan, he must emerge, if he still hides, I can find him myself, it's no issue."

Given Qin Heng's current cultivation, using deduction and divination to find someone is very simple, as long as Loki isn't in a particularly advanced world like Taeming Xuanhao Sky, he can easily locate him.

"No, don't kill me, don't kill me!!" Hera started wailing, she was pleading.

However, Qin Heng seemed not to hear, his five fingers tightened suddenly, shattering the golden light that imprisoned Hera, and Hera turned to ashes along with the golden light, extinguished in both form and spirit.

However, the trace of Hera's existence did not completely vanish.

A drop of "Divine Blood" condensed by the Nether Killing Force remained, transforming into a purple-black crystal, landing in Qin Heng's palm.

"Nether Killing Crystal Stone." Qin Heng recognized the crystal.

In his past life, he had seen this crystal in the hands of disciples of the Nine Extremes Netherworld Sect, used to replenish their Nether Killing Force, similar to the spirit stones used by ordinary cultivators, but more expensive and rarer.

Gu Xuanxuan and Elisa were completely stunned, staring blankly at Qin Heng, their whole being rendered dazed.

He actually killed the legendary Goddess of Death!!

Killed the God of Death!

Killed a deity!!

Too, too, too incredible, can this still be considered human??

Terrifying to the extreme!

...

In a palace seemingly made of gold, a young man in a black robe lay on a comfortable velvet seat, admiring the dance of a group of young maidens.

This young man appeared to be less than thirty years old, with jet-black hair, and handsome features, slender eyes with a cunning gaze, his lips curled in a faint smile, as if everything was under his control.

He called himself Loki.

In the Northern European myth on Earth, he was the son of the giant Farbauti and the giantess Laufey, blood brother to the Divine King Odin, the god of trickery and deceit, and also an extremely powerful magician, playing a crucial role in the Twilight of the Gods.

Yet myths are ultimately just myths, merely stories imagined by those who do not know the full truth, pieced together from fragments and decorated with imagination and processing.

The Asa Divine Clan is not as great as portrayed in the myths, nor have they dominated the whole world, in fact, they are only refugees from a large world under invasion, arriving in the Central Heavenly Domain thousands of years ago, and taking over a desolate area, claiming to be a divine clan.

Loki is one of the two main leaders of the refugees.

A deity-level powerhouse.

The Twilight of the Gods in mythology signals the demise of the Asa Divine Clan, but in reality, it was when the Asa Divine Clan was discovered by the Martial Artists of the Central Plains, nearly exterminated by the Holy Martial Dao, barely escaping without even their divine realm Asgard.

Yet all these are in the past.

Since the Central Heavenly Domain entered the End of Dharma Age, the Asa Divine Clan has prospered, now occupying a huge Star of Life as their territory, breeding new generations.

At the same time, they have not forgotten the near extinction they faced, recently starting preparations to return to the Central Heavenly Domain, taking advantage of the End of Dharma Age, slaughtering the descendants of the Central Plains Martial Artists clean!

Hera was one of the vanguards sent by Loki.

In his view, with Hera's Saint King peak strength, she should easily sweep through the End of Dharma Age's Central Heavenly Domain, without any difficulty.

But at that moment, the wine glass in his hand suddenly shook, spilling the red wine like blood.

He abruptly stood up, stunned.

"Hera died!? How is it possible, who dares to kill my daughter, and who can kill her!?"
