Xu Nian didn’t expect Shi Shanshan to accept the reality of being an Artifact Spirit so quickly.

Although he was forced to do so, for many people, becoming an Artifact Spirit is an unacceptable fact.

"Rest assured, when I have enough ability in the future, I will restore your freedom," Xu Nian said.

"Thank you, Master!" Shi Shanshan replied.

At this moment, she was already an Artifact Spirit, and the God Sword had recognized Xu Nian as its master.

She naturally should call Xu Nian ’Master’.

Xu Nian was somewhat uncomfortable but did not refuse.

"In the deepest part of this valley, there seems to be something; the powerful thunderstorm just now cannot have appeared out of nowhere," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Just now, the thunderstorm came too swiftly.

He and Shi Shanshan didn’t have time to dodge and were blasted away.

To create such a terrifying thunderstorm, there must be a powerful energy explosion.

Like a calm sea, wanting to stir up tidal waves must be due to an earthquake-like energy eruption somewhere. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Otherwise, tidal waves cannot appear out of thin air.

"Is the Master planning to explore the most profound part of this valley?" Shi Shanshan asked in astonishment.

This Divine Thunder area is extremely dangerous.

Not to mention the deepest part of that Divine Thunder.

In the deepest part, there must be unpredictable dangers.

"Yes, since I’m here, I must take a look," Xu Nian said.

He then summoned his true self.

Shi Shanshan paused, seemingly understanding something: "Master, is this your true self?"

"Yes, things have come to this point, I won’t hide from you, I’m from the Immortal Realm, I entered the Netherworld to deliver something to the Netherworld Lord," Xu Nian said.

Since Shi Shanshan had become his Artifact Spirit, telling her these things didn’t matter.

"Deliver something to the Netherworld Lord?" Shi Shanshan exclaimed in surprise.

She had never thought Xu Nian had come to the Netherworld looking for the Netherworld Lord.

One must know that the Netherworld Lord hates the people of the Three Realms the most.

If Xu Nian truly meets the Netherworld Lord, he might be obliterated immediately.

"I have never seen the Netherworld Lord either, reportedly the Lord is unfathomable, and his residence is unreachable by ordinary Divine-level experts," Shi Shanshan said.

Xu Nian nodded, knowing finding the Netherworld Lord would not be easy.

She had to say such things.

Xu Nian didn’t say much more and started heading towards the deepest part of the valley.

Very soon, Xu Nian penetrated the Divine Thunder area.

The terrifying Divine Thunder struck Xu Nian’s body, making it feel numbing.

Yet this degree of Divine Thunder could not pose a threat to him.

So Xu Nian advanced another several hundred meters.

After advancing about five hundred meters, Xu Nian felt the power of the Divine Thunder directly doubled.

The Divine Thunder struck his body like a whip, causing Xu Nian pain.

Fortunately, Xu Nian could still endure and continue advancing.

Until Xu Nian reached a distance of a thousand meters, the terrifying power of thunder made Xu Nian completely unable to bear it.

"Such strong Divine Thunder, its power striking my body can even cause my skin to crack," Xu Nian thought in surprise.

At this moment, the power of thunder he faced was roughly equivalent to the third thunder during Fuhua Immortal Emperor’s Tribulation Crossing.

Therefore, no matter how strong Xu Nian’s body might be, he couldn’t merely rely on it to withstand such numerous Thunder strikes.

So Xu Nian directly summoned the Supreme Dragon Robe.

With the Supreme Dragon Robe on, these Divine Thunders caused him no harm.

The Supreme Dragon Robe is a Chaos Divine Artifact, no matter how strong these Thunder powers are, they cannot harm Xu Nian.

"Oh, what level of Divine Artifact is this?" Shi Shanshan asked, surprised.

Xu Nian actually had such a powerful Divine Artifact?

The level of this Divine Artifact seems to be above the Divine Artifact level.

How many secrets does he have on him?

Shi Shanshan felt increasingly unable to see through Xu Nian.

Without hesitation, Xu Nian, wearing the Supreme Dragon Robe, hurried deeper.

Soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

Yet what unfolded before him shocked him immensely.

In the valley’s deepest part sat an elder.

The elder’s hair and beard were white, surrounded by terrifying Divine Thunder striking him but causing no harm.

Instead, the thunder merged into his body and disappeared.

And he sat there, like a terrifying deity, exerting immense pressure on Xu Nian.

This was the first time Xu Nian felt such pressure.

"Divine-level!"

Xu Nian instantly determined that the elder was a Divine-level expert.

A true Divine-level expert.

Though Xu Nian had seen the Beast God at God level before, they were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

So the resulting pressure was not terrifying.

But now, this Divine-level expert was genuinely at a Divine-level.

Xu Nian could clearly feel the Tao’s oppression emanating from him.

At the elder’s feet was a giant Demon Beast.

This Demon Beast was none other than the previously injured Thunder Beast.

Xu Nian’s brows furrowed instantly.

He had an extremely ominous feeling.

Perhaps the previous thunderstorm was caused by this Divine-level expert.

"Hum!"

As Xu Nian speculated, the elder suddenly opened his eyes.

They burst forth with incredibly strong divine radiance.

Xu Nian immediately felt as though a primordial beast was staring at him, causing his entire body to involuntarily tremble.

"This is the pressure of a Divine-level expert? Just a gaze can cause my will to waver?" Xu Nian thought in shock.

He even felt his body couldn’t move at all.

In front of such a Divine-level expert, he was like an ant.

He could be easily crushed by the opponent.

The gap was too wide, like a chasm.

"Was it you who injured my pet?" the elder spoke, his voice like an ancient bell from time immemorial, carrying infinite penetration power.

"Junior Xu Fenn, greetings senior, I previously didn’t know it was your pet, please forgive me," Xu Nian quickly apologized.

Facing a Divine-level expert without bowing down, it’s really a dead end.

At this moment, Shi Shanshan was also incredibly surprised.

She didn’t expect a Divine-level expert to reside deep in the Heavenly Thunder Pool.

"Regardless of whether you were intentional or not, you injured my pet, you must pay a price," the elder said calmly.

He then directly delivered a palm strike.

Next moment, the surrounding Divine Thunder rapidly gathered in his palm.

"Boom!"

A Divine Thunder Palm instantly hit Xu Nian’s chest.

"Pfft!"

Xu Nian’s figure flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This palm’s speed left him no chance to react.

Even with the Supreme Dragon Robe protecting him, he still couldn’t endure the thunder’s power.

If not for the Supreme Dragon Robe, he might have perished.

Xu Nian now looked at the elder with sharp eyes.
