One-on-One Duel

Chapter 379 One-on-One Duel

"Rumble—"

The moment they entered the Nine Nether Vortex, they felt an overwhelming tearing and crushing force, as if a millstone was grinding beans. The bones and muscles of the King alien race made cracking sounds, and their faces were twisted and deformed.

"Oh no, Master! This tearing and crushing force alone is enough to annihilate me!" the alien race exclaimed in alarm.

"Seal the Star!" Suk realized the situation was critical and immediately a sealing star appeared. The purple-haired alien quickly entered the sealing star.

Whoosh!

"Fortunately, I brought Zhenfeng Xingchen with me this time." Su Ke felt relieved.

The Star-Sealing Treasure is a powerful sealing artifact containing a space within it. As long as one hides inside the Star-Sealing Treasure, external attacks will be reduced to only one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of their original strength.

However, hiding within the sealed star also has a major weakness—

The enemy can simply grab the Star-Sealing Sword and take it away. Moreover, the Star-Sealing Sword is not a special flying palace treasure, so its ability to dodge and fly is much weaker.

Within the sealed star lies a beautiful world, with streaks of golden light faintly streaking across the sky, and the vast earth feeling incredibly solid.

Suk and the alien servants stood within it, their consciousness merged with the sealed star, while they used the power of the world to explore the outside world.

Suk, his expression grave, said to the alien servant, "If any natives of the Nine Netherworld appear later, do not take action first. Heed my instructions—"

;

"arrive."

Suk quickly sensed that the surroundings had stabilized.

He unleashed the power of the world to explore.

This is a world unlike any other region in the Nine Netherworld. The sky is filled with dazzling stars, and the air is filled with wisps of blood-red mist that are visible to the naked eye, giving the entire world a rich and unique power.

"Such strong resistance." Suk could already feel that this force had completely stopped the spatial fluctuations in this area and suppressed all divine kingdom teleportation.

By using cosmic coordinates, one can know that they are in the world at the bottom of the Nine Nether Sea.

To leave this place, one must use a "Nine Nether Vortex," similar to a wormhole, rather than teleportation or divine kingdom teleportation.

At the same time, Suk clearly sensed that an alien army was stationed within a hundred kilometers around him. All the alien warriors had blood-red, burly bodies with blood-red curved horns.

It could be sensed that the stationed army numbered three hundred, each an immortal being, and the leader's aura was incredibly powerful—

I'd guess he's at the level of an unbeatable king.

"As expected, every vortex teleportation site is guarded by local natives from the Nine Netherworld, and they are extremely powerful," Suk thought to himself.

If we try to fight head-on, we simply can't win.

Escape. In this Nine Netherworld, it is the native people's home ground. They are far more agile and swift than us, like fish in water. They can clearly detect any foreign races whose power is not their own, and can even draw upon the power of this world to enhance their combat strength.

Moreover, Suk knew that the natives not only had the immortal god before him, but also a cosmic venerable, whom he could not possibly contend with.

Meanwhile, several alien warriors from the squad closest to the vortex teleportation site flew over as they saw a star appear out of thin air.

"Foreigners!"

"They're foreigners!"

Several alien warriors who flew in immediately roared upon sensing Suk's world power.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the stars vanished, and a human in full gray armor and a purple-haired, one-horned, one-eyed alien appeared out of thin air.

"Gentlemen, I mean no harm," Suk said, standing still instead of running away.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

One after another, blood-red figures flew over from their encampment, and many alien soldiers became excited and thrilled, just like hunters spotting their prey.

Two or three hundred immortal gods from other races surrounded Suk and his servant, watching them intently.

"Outsiders!" The captain of the garrison squad, a tall and burly alien with two long, curved, blood-red horns, stepped forward and stared coldly at Suk. "Hmm? One is a Realm Lord, and the other is an Immortal. Are you here to die?"

With the astonishing tearing force of the vortex passage, even a typical King-level Immortal would absolutely not be able to withstand it. Therefore, although the captain found it strange, he did not underestimate the situation. He shouted menacingly, "This is our clan's territory. You have no way out. Do you intend to resist or surrender?"

"We will not resist," Suk said, and the purple-haired alien next to him also remained still.

The captain glanced around, confirming that Suk and the other man indeed showed no intention of resisting, and said coldly, "Very good. So you can survive for now. Hmph, those alien races who desperately try to escape and resist as soon as they arrive here usually die the fastest. It seems you can live a little longer."

He then instructed, "Seal them up and take them back. I'll report to my superiors first."

In the core of this Nine Netherworld, within a large ancient city, a virtual world has been set up, allowing these natives to easily communicate with each other.

"You've captured two alien races who entered our realm from the outside?" A lean, blood-red, horned alien race member, clad in black armor, was initially startled upon receiving the news, but then pondered for a moment. "Bring them back first. The prince is with me; I'll report to him first, and he can handle them."

In the Nine Netherworld, each prince rules over a vast territory and has absolute control over it.

Soon, a small team escorted Suk and his group towards the large ancient city.

Suk gazed at the ancient city that appeared in the distance, but fell into thought.

In the Nine Netherworld, there are 108 Imperial Seas!

The 108 children representing the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

However, these princes varied in strength, with three being Universe Venerables, dozens at the Immortal level, and dozens at the Realm Lord level.

The outside world only knows that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has three children at the level of Universe Venerables; the others have never appeared.

The prince's true form is actually Huang Hai, while what is active outside is merely a clone-like entity.

These natives were unaware that the prince was Huang Hai, and Huang Hai was the prince's secret.

"Hopefully, Plan One will work out; otherwise, we'll have to move on to other plans," Suk thought to himself.

If all attempts fail, it means the loss of this clone, the king's servants, and the sealed star.

When the team flew into this ancient city, it immediately attracted the attention of the local indigenous residents.

"Hey, that's Captain Dopanta. Are the people next to him aliens?"

"It's a foreign race! We've captured a foreign race!" Many foreign races in the city were alarmed and rushed to see what was happening.

Suk also observed in secret that these people of the Nine Netherworld were very special. They had blood-red bodies and blood-red curved horns, and were a kind of energy-type life form. Moreover, their talents were extremely high, somewhat like the Golden Horned Beast and so on—once they reached adulthood, they would become world lords!

They simply lack innate talents and secret techniques, and their physical life level is comparable to that of humans.

Because adults are considered realm lords, realm lords are quite common in cities, but their total population is very small compared to humans.

Surrounded by a large number of blood-red alien races, Suk and his companion were escorted to the most magnificent and enormous palace in the center of the ancient city.

"General!"

A lean, blood-red, horned alien warrior in black armor stood at the palace gate with a group of elite soldiers. The captain and soldiers who were escorting Suk and his men hurriedly bowed to the black-armored alien.

Suk also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the lean, black-armored alien, confirming that he was definitely a Universe Venerable.

"Bring him in. The prince wants to see this alien." The Universe Venerable glanced at Suk and the other two and said coldly.

"Yes." Upon hearing that the prince wanted to see them, the squad became even more excited and apprehensive.

Inside the palace.

Suk saw the figure surrounded by many powerful alien warriors. He had a handsome face with blood-red runes and wore a magnificent silver and blood-red battle armor. The armor exuded a powerful aura—the aura of a treasure. Without a doubt, he was His Highness the Prince.

The prince's appearance was different from all the other members of his clan.

Judging from their appearance, the princes and the other generals and soldiers seemed to belong to two different ethnic groups.

"General Zazak, is this the alien race your squad captured?" the prince asked in an elegant voice.

Suk also noticed that although the prince's aura was powerful, he was only a realm lord.

After exchanging a few words with the general, the prince once again focused his gaze on Suk, whose eyes met his. The prince was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "You, a lord of an alien race, don't seem to be afraid of me?" He could tell that this captured alien lord didn't seem to have much fear, which piqued his interest.

Even if you crush an ant, the struggling ant is always more interesting.

Suk said, "If I'm afraid, do you think the prince will let me go?"

The prince shook his head. "Of course not. According to custom, all of you alien races who trespass into our territory should be executed."

Suk thought for a moment, "What if I challenge you, Your Highness, and win? Could you let us go?"

"How dare you!" The powerful alien warriors nearby immediately changed their expressions and roared, "Mere aliens dare to challenge our noble prince? They're courting death! Kill them!"

The prince waved his hand, a look of keen interest on his face. "Oh, you actually want to challenge me?"

Suk nodded without fear: "Yes, I want to fight the prince fairly. I wonder if the prince dares?"

The other cosmic venerable beside him could no longer contain his anger. He looked at Suk with murderous intent and said, "Your Highness, please order me to kill this audacious fellow. How dare such a lowly person fight against Your Highness?"

The prince shook his head. "No, I want to compete with him."

"this----"

The prince's expression turned cold, seemingly displeased. "Does the general think I'm inferior to this alien realm lord?"

"Of course not." Several generals in the palace saw that the prince seemed to have made up his mind. They exchanged glances and seemed to be communicating in secret. In the end, none of them objected to the prince's decision.

The prince's status was extremely high, and even the most powerful beings in the universe could only obey him.

The prince confidently said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. We're usually incredibly safe here. It's rare to see a Realm Lord appear. Today, let me have some fun with this Realm Lord." Of course, the prince didn't think he would lose. Even if he did, there were so many Universe Venerables watching. Moreover, his true form was one of the 108 Imperial Seas. As long as the Imperial Seas didn't perish, he was immortal.

He looked at Suk, "Then let's begin—"

Suk said, "Let's make this clear first, we want a fair fight. You can't use any of your treasures or other external items." He looked at the prince's heavy armor, his meaning clear: With so many treasures on you, what's the point of fighting?

The prince thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I won't bully you. Let's have a fair fight."

Suk nodded. "I believe in the prince's integrity."

The prince chuckled twice at Suk, "You alien are really cunning. But I'll grant your wish." He didn't care at all.

Even without the help of treasures, he didn't believe he would lose to a human realm lord.

Yes, the prince had already ascertained that the world lord before him was a human. If it were a special life form, he would be more wary, but a human? Even if he were incredibly talented, could he compare to the noble bloodline of his race? And the teachings of his incomparably powerful father?

The prince and his entourage left the palace and arrived at a desolate open space outside the city.

"Let's make this our battlefield." A hint of excitement rose in the prince's eyes. "Life here has been too boring. I hope you have some skill and don't die too quickly. Of course, if you win, I'll consider letting you go."

The prince spoke eloquently, but in his eyes, Suk was already a dead man.

Both sides were very straightforward, bringing absolutely nothing with them; even their weapons and armor were formed from the power of the world.

"Begin—" a general's voice echoed. Everyone present stared at the two sides in the battle.

A silver-white battle sword appeared in Suk's hand, while a blood-red spear appeared in the prince's hand, and blood-red energy even swirled around his body.

Boom! Both of them unleashed powerful auras and soared into the sky.

"Die!" The prince's eyes flashed like lightning as he thrust his spear forward without mercy. Blood flashed, and the power of the spear became even more ferocious and sharp, tearing a dark rift in the space.

A bloody and ferocious aura rushed towards us.

This shot, once fired, definitely has the power to become a king.

The onlookers from the alien race all looked up and watched.

"This alien realm lord is doomed."

"How dare you challenge a prince? You're courting death."

Su Ke wasn't surprised. The life gene level of a Realm Lord-level Nether Sea cultivator should be 300 times that of a Realm Lord. Plus, his father was a Universe Lord, so any guidance or inheritance he received could amplify the energy by tens of times. It's normal for him to have the strength of a Realm Lord by tens of thousands of times.

If an ordinary realm lord were to encounter this, they would be instantly killed.

But Suk's gaze turned cold.

"Boom!!!" Su Ke's body erupted with an aura like that of a prehistoric beast. His body swelled up, and scales appeared on his body and face. Faint images of illusory Teng Snakes swirled and danced behind him. His aura instantly became extremely fierce, as if he had transformed into a humanoid beast god.

Driven by the power of the Teng Snake, the life gene level is increased by 5280 times!

The Four Divine Generals' Amplification Secret Technique!

amplitude!!

"Kill!" Suk rushed out and slashed with his sword.

boom.

A dazzling blade of light slashed across the sky!

An incredibly terrifying flash of blade light.

It seems capable of cleaving through everything, splitting apart all things —

"What?" The prince, who had charged in with a gun, widened his pupils and a look of shock appeared on his handsome face.
