Chu Linfeng’s actions were actually very risky. If the Beast King were to self-destruct at this moment, even with Chu Linfeng’s strong defense power, he would be killed by the powerful energy of the self-destruction, making Sword Spirit so frustrated that he wished to give him a slap.

"Lin Feng, you madman, come back quickly! If the Beast King self-destructs, I can’t protect you!" Sword Spirit said urgently.

"I know it’s dangerous, but the Beast King’s storage ring is too tempting. I can’t just miss out on it for nothing. Sister Yue’Er, don’t worry, I know what to do!" said Chu Linfeng as he approached the Beast King.

At the same time, he spoke to Chu Qing and Chu Tong inside the storage ring: "Protect me. The self-destructive power of this guy is very great. Big Brother can’t withstand it; you must do your best!"

"Big Brother, don’t worry. The Ghost King’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirit Technique didn’t even break through Tong’er’s defense. Even if this guy self-destructs, he won’t be able to harm you. This time, let Qing’er protect you and let Tong’er see her sister’s prowess." Chu Qing said.

"Sister, you must help protect Big Brother well; otherwise, I will set up a layer of defense barrier on Big Brother, ensuring his safety without fail." Chu Tong immediately said.

"That’s fine too! However, your defense barrier this time might be the same as mine last time, fundamentally inadequate. Tong’er, let’s begin!" Chu Qing said.

Chu Linfeng felt a wave of emotion in his heart upon hearing this. Getting these two artifact spirits was indeed a great stroke of luck. Without them, he would be truly in danger. At this time, a faint blue and yellow light shield appeared around him.

"Beast King, do you intend to self-destruct? As a proud Dragon Race member, choosing such a shameful method really disgraces our race. I’ll give you one more chance. If you are willing to give me the storage ring, I can spare your life. You will have a chance for revenge in the future. If you choose to self-destruct, then there will be no more opportunities.

Do you really think your self-destruction could harm me? Since I dare to stand in front of you, I naturally know the power of this self-destruction. Don’t make a pointless sacrifice. This is also your last chance. My patience is limited; don’t believe me, just try." Chu Linfeng said.

The Beast King was at a loss about what to do. If he self-destructs, he is surely doomed. If he fails to hurt Chu Linfeng, it would be in vain. Seeing how calmly Chu Linfeng stood in front of him, perhaps he really wasn’t afraid of the self-destruction. However, it was also impossible for him to hand over his storage ring, leaving him in a moment of hesitation, with energy fluctuations in his body becoming chaotic.

"I know you’re hesitating. Let me be honest with you: soon, I will eliminate the Nether Race and Human Race, making the Ghost Race the true rulers of the Netherworld. If you survive, you might still be able to join forces with the Netherworld King and Human King to deal with me. This might be your only chance for revenge. If you die, then there will never be a chance." Chu Linfeng continued.

"Dream on if you think you can obtain my storage ring. Even if I die, I won’t let you succeed. I, the Nether Dragon, have my pride, and even if I can’t kill you, I will not live disgracefully!" roared the Beast King, with energy aura becoming furious.

"Hehe, what’s so remarkable about mere courage? Do you truly think this makes you a hero? If you are willing to lay down your hatred, I might consider allowing your Beast Race to exist independently, given you are a Dragon Race member. This is my promise to you. If you don’t trust me, I won’t force you. You should know I’m a Golden Dragon. My words are as firm as a rock." Chu Linfeng said, though he was worried. If the Beast King didn’t listen, all his efforts would be in vain.

The Beast King eased his energy fluctuations once more after hearing this, "Is this true? Would you really spare my Beast Race?"

Seeing signs of concession from the other party, Chu Linfeng immediately said, "I am a Golden Dragon, and my words carry weight. Of course, you can choose not to believe me. I won’t waste words with you. Will you agree or not? If you think I’m deceiving you, then self-destruct immediately. I’d really like to see how powerful your self-destruction is. Don’t forget, the Ghost King’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirit Technique couldn’t even break through my defense. The strength of the Golden Dragon Race is not as simple as you understand."

The Beast King struggled internally. As a king of a race, sometimes sacrifices must be made. Considering this young man’s strength, he decided to take a gamble. If the opponent was indeed willing to spare him, that would be ideal. If not, self-destruction could still occur later.

"Fine, I agree with you, but you must ensure not to attack my Beast Race again. Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t give you the storage ring!" the Beast King said.

"You can be assured of that. I, Chu Linfeng, keep my word. I came to the Netherworld merely for the revitalization of the Dragon Race. I will leave soon. You are one of our Dragon Race members and naturally have this responsibility. Before I leave, I’ll clear some obstacles for you, so hand over the storage ring!" Chu Linfeng said.

At this moment, the Beast King opened his mouth and spat out a black ring. Chu Linfeng’s thought reached out, directly grasping it in his hand, and he said with a smile, "Having promised not to kill you, I really won’t. If you wish to revive the Beast Race, it’s best not to associate with the Netherworld Lord and the Human King, otherwise, I cannot guarantee whether I might attack you!"

"I certainly understand that. I hope you don’t go back on your word!" the Beast King said worriedly.

Chu Linfeng felt embarrassed to kill him further at this point and was about to leave when suddenly, a silver-white small sword flew out from the center of his brow, transforming into the appearance of a maiden.

Chu Linfeng was startled, unsure why Sword Spirit appeared at this moment. Just as he was about to ask her honestly, he saw the small sword in her hand suddenly grow enormous, flying into the air to become countless sword shadows, and ten huge long swords materialized in front of the Beast King.

"Sister Yue’Er, what are you doing? Do you intend to slay him?" Chu Linfeng asked in shock.

"Indeed, given his strength, letting him leave would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. If he truly joined forces with the Netherworld Lord and Human King, do you think you have the strength to face all three? Lin Feng, sometimes you cannot be overly merciful. You should understand the reason for this intervention." Sword Spirit said.

Immediately, she initiated the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array. Ten long swords suddenly became massive. At this moment, because the Beast King temporarily believed Chu Linfeng, he had stopped channeling nether power, making self-destruction impossible now. He exclaimed urgently, "You deceptive scoundrel, even in death, I won’t let you off!"

Suddenly, the Beast King’s body shone with a burst of blue light, and the blood in the big pit surged towards the sky, forming a Hexagram in the sky, looking extremely eerie.

Sword Spirit was also shocked upon seeing this Hexagram, and she did not delay. The ten giant swords directly struck the Beast King. At this moment, the Beast King’s body suddenly shrank, and a blue beam shot towards the Hexagram, which immediately glowed, illuminating the ground brightly.

"Lin Feng, quickly run! This is the Nether Dragon Race’s unique Death Blood Curse, which will cause you great harm!" Sword Spirit said.

"Death Blood Curse? What is this thing?" Chu Linfeng asked, puzzled as he seemed never to have heard this name...
