Chapter 0521: More Terrifying Than the Chaos Bell

The jade-like roots of the Nether Divine Tree emitted a milky white glow. Yet, its terrifying devouring and absorbing power left Elff, the Lord of Water, in horror. Under the cover of these jade-colored roots, he felt his supreme divine essence deep within his soul sea trembling and whimpering, as if it were about to be absorbed by the tree.
What kind of tree is this?!
But now, Elff had no time to investigate the origin of this tree.
With a fierce roar, Elff slammed his hands outward, unleashing the power of the Lord of Water in a violent outburst.
“Source of Water, explode, explode, explode, explode!”
Mysterious forces derived from this blue energy of the Lord of Water surged forth—precisely the power of the water’s essence. These forces rushed in all directions like thunderstorms, shattering and dispersing the energy attacks from the Yellow Dragon and the Five Sacred Mountains.
In terms of strength, if the Lord of Light didn’t possess a supreme divine artifact, his power would be roughly on par with Elff, the Lord of Water. The Yellow Dragon itself was far weaker, and even with the power of Pangu, it would be difficult to trap Elff.
Elff shattered the surrounding energy barriers, feeling the space around him loosen. Delighted, he transformed into a mass of blue light, attempting to escape the reach of the tree’s jade roots.
But how could the Yellow Dragon let Elff get away?!
In fact, the Yellow Dragon knew that a single strike wouldn’t be enough to trap Elff easily; otherwise, Elff wouldn’t be the Lord of Water. With a thought, the Yellow Dragon’s true spirit appeared, and his Sword of Immortal Slaying rushed forward, with sword beams crisscrossing the surroundings.
Elff was shocked. He summoned his supreme divine artifact and roared, swinging his sword to create a wave of blue energy that blocked the sword beams. Yet, this forced him to retreat to his original position.
By now, the jade roots of the Nether Divine Tree had reached thousands of feet above Elff’s head.
Elff was both terrified and enraged.
Suddenly, two intense sword beams hummed as they rushed in from behind the Yellow Dragon, aiming straight at him.
“Yellow Dragon, die!”
Elvis’s voice was deep, filled with fierce killing intent that swept across the area. Elvis had been searching for an opportunity to kill the Yellow Dragon. Now that the Yellow Dragon was distracted fighting Elff, it was his chance. Moreover, when the Yellow Dragon had moved to attack Elff, it had withdrawn its million “divine clones.”
The Yellow Dragon was too terrifying!
No matter what, Elvis didn’t want the Yellow Dragon to survive—otherwise, it would become his eternal nightmare.
At the same time as Elvis, Barbara, the Lord of Life, also took action.

As Barbara launched her attack, the Power of the God of Life pulsed like a living entity, “thump, thump!” The surrounding gods could even feel their own hearts beating in rhythm with it.
The combined strike of the two was not as powerful as that of the previous thirty-odd supreme gods working together, but it was still extremely formidable—after all, the two rulers of the fundamental laws were beyond comparison to other gods.
A sword beam soared into the sky, sweeping through the surroundings like a tsunami.
The space around the Yellow Dragon was completely sealed off, with icy sword energy and a fierce killing intent filling the air.
Without turning, the Yellow Dragon focused his mind, causing the Chaos Bell above his head to emit a dazzling light. The primordial yellow and black energy spread outward, while bright lights covered the area above the bell, protecting the surrounding space.
The Light of the God of Light and the Power of the God of Life, unleashed by Elvis and Barbara, collided with the primordial yellow and black energy, producing continuous deafening explosions.
Elvis and Barbara’s sword beams scattered as they retreated.
The Yellow Dragon’s body trembled, the Chaos Bell dimmed, and the primordial yellow and black energy dissipated. The white jade roots of the Tree of the Netherworld that were descending toward Elf also stopped.
Seeing this, Elf’s face lit up with joy. He soared into the air and swung his divine artifact with all his strength at the spatial battlefield. To his surprise, a tiny crack appeared in the otherwise stable battlefield. However, Elf was also struck by the backlash of the space, causing him to stagger.
Elf’s expression changed.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of light above him. Looking up in shock, he saw the white jade roots of the Tree of the Netherworld already hundreds of feet above him, descending like lightning.
Filled with terror, Elf roared and swung his divine artifact upward again with all his strength. The Water God’s Power surged upward along with the sword beam, aiming to crush those white jade roots. But in horror, he saw that as his sword beam tried to destroy them, the roots emitted a strong milky light, and a mysterious force surged forth, blocking his attack!
The impact from his strike caused the white jade roots to rebound upward.
Ignoring everything else, Elf struck the crack in the spatial battlefield once more with full force. The crack widened, and he felt pleased.
But just as he was about to fly away through the crack, he found that the space ahead was blocked by those terrifying white jade roots, which began to encircle him from all sides.

Elvis and Barbara were blocked by the aura of Hongmeng Xuanhuang and were forced to halt hundreds of millions of miles away. The other supreme gods and high-ranking deities witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives. From within the giant white egg enveloping Elf by the roots of the Netherworld Divine Tree, Elf’s fierce attacks could be heard continuously. Deep, thunderous noises erupted from within the egg, shaking the heavens and earth. Yet, Elf’s attacks failed to break through that white egg?! Then, the gods heard Elf’s terrified screams: “No, don’t, please don’t!” The sounds were like howls, extremely pitiful, as if he had encountered something terrifying. Elvis, Barbara, and the others were shocked, unsure of what was happening inside. Soon, the intense white light of the egg dimmed, and they saw what was inside—those white jade tree roots, like tentacles, had penetrated Elf’s divine body! After all, as a ruler, Elf’s divine body had formidable defenses. Even the Light Sovereign would find it difficult to break through those defenses without using his ultimate divine artifact! Once the white jade roots entered Elf’s body, his divine body began to tremble, more precisely, to convulse, with agonized screams escaping his mouth. Elf tried to break free, unleashing his immense divine power, but it was useless. The white jade roots, now embedded in his body like roots in the earth, caused his divine power to drain faster the more he struggled, being absorbed into the Netherworld Divine Tree. Elf looked at Elvis and the others with utter terror, stretching out his hands as if to grab them, shouting hoarsely, “Save me! Please save me!” “No, no, I can’t die!” “I’m the Water Sovereign—I can’t die!” By the end of his screams, Elf was in a frenzied state, his mind clouded, his eyes blood-red. Yet no one dared to go save him, not even Elvis and Barbara, who had just tried to attack the Yellow Dragon from behind, standing there in terror. After a while, they were horrified to see Elf’s body gradually wither away, his voice fading until finally, there was no sound left. His flesh seemed to have been drained, his skin clinging to his bones, leaving only a skeleton, his eyes sunken deep, filled with despair and terror.

At that moment, the primary divine essence deep within Eirulf’s mind flew out from above his head and was instantly drawn down by the roots of the white jade tree. Just like Eirulf’s physical body, the water-elemental divine power contained within it was continuously absorbed into the Netherworld Divine Tree. Before long, it shattered into a pile of powder, scattering high into the air and drifting in all directions.

By the time the Netherworld Divine Tree retracted its white jade roots, Eirulf had already turned into a mummy, collapsing straight down. As he hit the ground, there was a dull thud, and dust rose from the surface.

With a mere thought, the Yellow Dragon summoned the Netherworld Divine Tree back to the top of its head and glanced indifferently at the other primary gods around. Under the Yellow Dragon’s gaze, those gods instinctively flew away, their faces filled with terror, throats dry as they stared in shock at Eirulf, the ruler of water elements, lying lifeless on the ground.

Dead? A ruler died like this?! They could no longer sense Eirulf’s presence.

Since the birth of this divine realm, Eirulf was the first ruler to perish!

Elvis, Barbara, and the other primary gods removed their gazes from Eirulf’s body and turned them back to the Netherworld Divine Tree atop the Yellow Dragon’s head. Their faces were filled with utter horror as a terrifying aura of death struck their souls with force.

What kind of tree was this?! They had never heard of a tree that could devour even a ruler’s divine body, let alone their primary divine essence!

In their eyes, it was even more terrifying than that ancient bell. Although the Power of Chaos Bell was stronger than the Netherworld Divine Tree, it had killed the Dark Primary Divine Essence in an instant without any pain of death. But the Netherworld Divine Tree was different—Eirulf’s transformation into a mummy was slow and extremely painful, as he gradually neared death. They still remembered the desperate and terrified look in Eirulf’s eyes when he collapsed!

Gebor was dead, Eirulf was dead—so who would be next?!

The other primary gods had come to the battlefield of this realm “joyfully” after hearing about the Yellow Dragon killing Elvis’s son, but now they regretted it. This time, the battlefield seemed not only to be a tomb for higher gods but also for their own primary gods!

The Yellow Dragon stretched out his hands and brought Eirulf’s body before him. This was the body of a ruler; it certainly couldn’t be wasted. Although it had little effect on the Yellow Dragon’s primordial dragon body, he could still refine it and merge it with the members of the Huang family, Bradd and others.

Elvis and the others watched helplessly as the Yellow Dragon placed Eirulf’s body into the Five Hells Divine Cauldron.

In fact, the Yellow Dragon knew that the Netherworld Divine Tree could kill Eirulf so easily because the space of this battlefield was stable, preventing Eirulf from breaking through it in time. If it had been in another divine realm, Eirulf would likely have escaped long ago.
