As the immortal herb voraciously devoured, it unexpectedly emitted a divine radiance.

Not only that, the herb, originally only a foot long, directly grew to three feet.

Moreover, the divine pattern on the herb emitted a peculiar golden glow.

It seemed to possess immense power.

"What a peculiar immortal herb, can’t imagine to what extent it will grow." Xu Nian remarked in surprise.

An immortal herb could indeed undergo such transformation.

This divine pattern is indeed extraordinary.

It seems that this divine pattern possesses the power to transform decay into magic.

"Take your time absorbing here!" Xu Nian said with a smile.

The next moment, the herb seemed to understand and nodded.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the herb gained awareness.

Soon, Xu Nian left the valley.

Since Tantai Xun Yan wasn’t here, he felt it unnecessary to waste time in this place.

After leaving the valley space, Xu Nian headed straight for the core area of the Death God Domain, the Realm Heart Lake.

Based on his speculations, the Death God should reside at the bottom of this lake.

The last time he came here, he didn’t see the Death God at all.

He ended up fleeing like a stray dog, completely defeated.

"Whoosh!"

Upon arriving at the basin, Xu Nian was immediately surrounded by endless skeletons.

Several peak Immortal Emperor level puppets led the way, as they rushed over.

Their eye sockets flickered with golden fire, seemingly recognizing Xu Nian as the human who fled that night.

"I don’t want to fight you; you can’t beat me anyway. Take me to your master." Xu Nian spoke.

The leader of the Perfect level skeletons’ eyes stirred with flames.

Next, its figure charged directly at Xu Nian.

In its hand, a low-grade Divine Sword swung at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian, seeing the sword strike, did not make any defensive move.

"Clang!"

The Divine Sword struck Xu Nian, bursting into dazzling sparks.

The strong Power of Laws didn’t leave any marks on Xu Nian.

The golden skeleton was clearly shocked.

Yet before it could react, Xu Nian punched out.

The formed impact instantly knocked the golden puppet away.

The skeletons, witnessing this scene, were all astonished and tried to attack Xu Nian.

"Roar!"

Just then, the golden puppet let out a roar.

All the surrounding puppets immediately stopped.

"Roar!"

The golden puppet pointed at Xu Nian and then towards the direction of the Realm Heart Lake.

It seemed to indicate for Xu Nian to follow.

Naturally, Xu Nian did not refuse, and followed the puppet towards the Realm Heart Lake.

The numerous puppets made way, and soon, Xu Nian reached the lakeside.

The golden puppet gestured for Xu Nian to wait there, then retreated.

Xu Nian did not refuse.

Soon, the lake water began to churn.

Then a figure appeared before Xu Nian.

Seeing the figure, Xu Nian instantly felt a powerful oppression.

It was as if he was facing not a person, but an immensely powerful Death God.

Xu Nian looked at the figure, certain that this person was indeed the Death God.

The strong aura of death was unmistakable.

"You have come here to find me?" After glancing at Xu Nian, the figure asked.

"Yes!" Xu Nian answered truthfully.

"For the Death Godhood?" The Death God asked with a smile.

Xu Nian was taken aback, not expecting the other to have guessed his purpose.

"Yes, I want to use the Death Godhood in your possession to treat my wife’s death curse." Xu Nian replied.

"Death curse?" The Death God paused and then laughed.

"Then you have found the wrong person. The Godhood in my hand is not sufficient to threat the death curse." The Death God replied.

"Eh? Why?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

Hadn’t Emperor Ye Tian said that the Death Godhood could lift Murong Xue’s death curse?

"The death curse wasn’t cast by me; the death curse you speak of was cast by a Peak Divine-level Death God. Only when the Power of Laws surpasses that Divine-level pinnacle strongman can the curse be lifted." The Death God replied.

"You mean it requires a God-level Death Godhood?" Xu Nian furrowed his brows deeply.

"Yes, the Godhood I have is only early-stage Divine, and my soul is severely damaged. If not for the nurturing by this lake, I would have died long ago from a shattered soul. Thus, the Godhood I hold is of no use to you." The Death God replied.

Xu Nian’s eyes grew heavy, feeling doubtful towards the Death God’s words.

"His words are true. Earlier, I didn’t investigate carefully, but the death curse on Murong Xue is indeed cast by a Peak Divine-level Death God. His Godhood indeed serves no purpose." Emperor Ye Tian’s words echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

"Then if I need to find a God-level Death Godhood, wouldn’t the difficulty be much greater?" Anxiety surged in Xu Nian’s heart.

Death Godhoods are extraordinary rare, him needing a God-level Death Godhood is akin to moving mountains.

"If you can’t find one in the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World, then you must go to the Underworld. However, I heard you might want to try your luck at the Netherworld King’s Tomb on the Sealing God Battlefield." The Death God spoke.

Xu Nian nodded.

There was no alternative.

No matter how challenging, he must find the Death Godhood.

He must not let Murong Xue die, absolutely not!

"By the way, I have something that might help you." The Death God said.

Then he handed Xu Nian a scroll.

It was an ancient beast skin scroll.

The scroll bore an ancient insignia.

This insignia seemed quite similar to the death curse mark on Murong Xue.

"This is the death curse sigil. You might want to have the cursed individual comprehend it. If she can comprehend it, perhaps she can withstand some of the curse’s effects. Of course, to eradicate it, the God-level Death Godhood is necessary." The Death God explained.

"Thank you, honored Death God. May I ask why the honorable Death God assists me this way?" Xu Nian questioned curiously.

The Death God, hearing this, laughed heartily.

"Others may not know, but I can sense your powerful Divine Soul Power. If I’m not wrong, behind you stands an immensely powerful Divine-level expert, so I’m also forming a benevolent connection with you." The Death God replied with a smile.

Xu Nian suddenly understood.

The Death God had speculated who stood behind him: Emperor Ye Tian.

Thus, he intentionally befriended Xu Nian.

Since the Death God was willing to befriend him, Xu Nian wouldn’t refuse.

Next, Xu Nian bid farewell to the Death God en route to the Sealing God Battlefield.

He needed to visit the Netherworld King’s Tomb.

To see if there might be a God-level Death Godhood inside.

However, before all that, he needed to contact someone, Dongfang Ping.
