Chapter 343: Divine Fire Suppression, Ultimate Special Ability

Every mid-level Great Demon God was a pillar of the kingdom. Thus, any deaths would be a great loss. As they watched Meng Lei slaughtering their mid-level Great Demon Gods, the Three-Headed Hell Empress and the Fallen Emperor could not stand it anymore.


They promptly threatened the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor to order Meng Lei to stop the killing spree. Although he was unhappy with it, he was forced to follow.


However, what the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor did not expect was that Meng Lei carried on his onslaught of mid-level Great Demon Gods as if he did not hear his order.


“Bastard!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor was quite embarrassed as he yelled, “Ice Demon Prefecture Master, have you heard my orders? Cease your killings at once!”


Meng Lei turned a deaf ear and continued slaughtering.


Boom!


He blasted an Ice Demon with a punch.


Splurt!


He jabbed a Wind Demon to death with one finger.


Crack!


He snapped a Fallen Angel’s neck.


“Ugh!”


His blade sliced off a Cerberus’ head.


In a matter of seconds, another four mid-level Great Demon Gods died in Meng Lei’s hands. He earned 240 million Divinity Crystals.


“Isaiah, it seems that this Prefecture Master under you couldn’t care less about you!” Euphemia said mockingly.


Fallen Emperor Alec had something to say too. “Isaiah, if you can’t control your subordinate, I can help you with that!”


“Damn it!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor was furious as it was a challenge to his authority. A mere Prefecture Master ignoring it meant that Meng Lei simply disregarded the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor!


Whoosh!


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor joined the battle zone with a flash. In an instant, a massive surging demonic aura swept the entire place.


Buzz...


The dimension around was locked instantly. The 300 over mid-level Great Demon Gods were imprisoned on the spot; even the battle’s energy waves had stopped moving.


It was as if... everything became still!


“What’s going on?”


The demons watching the battle were stunned and confused.


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor walked toward Meng Lei as his demonic aura gushed out incessantly. “Ice Demon Prefecture Master, why did you not obey my orders?” he asked, his cold eyes staring at Meng Lei.


“Obey your orders? Why should I obey you?”


Meng Lei broke out of the demon’s domain imprisoning him, and looked back at the icy stares of the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor. “Oh, don’t tell me you thought that I’m your subordinate?”


“How impudent!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s expression turned icy-cold. “Ice Demon Prefecture Master, do you know what you have just said?”


“Hehe!”


Meng Lei smiled as he shook his head. Since things had gotten ugly, there was no need to keep his disguise.


“Dark Hell Demonic Emperor, I am from another existential plane. The only reason I’m impersonating the Ice Demon Prefecture Master was for the Dark Canopy of The Heavens that’s taking place soon!”


“So that’s why! Now you shall die!”


A hint of murderous intent flashed across the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s eyes as he slapped toward Meng Lei. He believed that with the strength of a high-level Great Demon God, he could kill Meng Lei with that strike.


“Nice!”


Meng Lei met up with his punch.


“What the! Why did the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor start a fight with that guy?”


“If I remember properly, that savage guy was brought here by the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor, right? Then why did the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor attack him?”


“What exactly is going on?”


The unknowing onlooking demons were stupefied. The battle was going on a moment before, and suddenly this happened? That did not make any sense!


Boom!


Just as the onlookers were bewildered, Meng Lei’s fist met the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s palm. It was almost as if Mars had hit Earth, and the duo’s raging shockwaves blasted off with a deafening boom.


Meng Lei and the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor flew backward at the same time. What shocked everyone was that Meng Lei only retreated for a few meters while the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor backed off by dozens of meters.


It was clear who was superior after one move!


“What!?


“How can that be?”


“I’m hallucinating! I must be hallucinating!”


The Three-Headed Hell Empress and the Fallen Emperor were shocked, same with the countless other spectators.


Who was the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor? That was one of the three most powerful beings on the Dark Hell Continent, a high-level Great Demon God standing on the pinnacle of the pyramid of lifeforms in the continent for countless tens of thousands of years!


But Meng Lei?


No one knew where he popped out from!


Yet, this unknown nobody was evenly matched with the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor, or even a notch higher.


“You actually have such power!”


As his right palm was getting numb, great waves of shock and astonishment churned in the heart of the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor. He looked at Meng Lei in complete disbelief.


The Three-Headed Hell Empress and the Fallen Emperor flew to the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor and asked somberly, “Isaiah, this guy seemed like a tough nut to crack. Need any help?”


“No one shall interfere!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor rejected the offer coldly. “I brought this scoundrel here, and I’ll kill him myself to vent my anger!”


“Alright!”


Both the Three-Headed Hell Empress and the Fallen Emperor agreed and said nothing else.


“Little fellow, I didn’t expect you to possess such power. I must say I underestimated you. But everything ends here. I’ll kill you myself!”


His aura began to surge as if he was a volcano stocking up its energy, awaiting the moment to erupt.


“Kill me? To be honest, I want to take you out as well!”


Meng Lei licked his lips as his eyes shone—a mid-level Great Demon God was worth 60 million, while a high-level Great Demon God was worth at least 900 million!


900 million!


Such a huge sum!


“Die!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor bellowed as densely packed black spears appeared around his body before they shot toward Meng Lei like a rain of arrows.


“Netherworld Divine Fire!”


The spectators exclaimed as they looked in the same direction almost instinctively. It was the famous Netherworld Divine Fire, which was incredibly powerful.


In particular, the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s Netherworld Divine Fire was incomparably destructive—the slightest contact with it would most definitely burn one into ashes.


“Isaiah has gone through eight rebirths, meaning his Netherworld Divine Fire has evolved eight times, with temperatures up to ten million degree Celsius. Even we wouldn’t dare to take it head-on!”


The Three-Headed Hell Empress and the Fallen Emperor’s expressions changed slightly upon the sight of the overwhelming rain of spears. They dared not underestimate the destructive capabilities of the Netherworld Divine Fire. A hint of graveness flashed across their eyes.


“I’ll see how you die, scoundrel!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor snapped as the rain of spears surrounded Meng Lei, blocking any route of retreat.


There was no space for him to escape!


“Meng Lei, wasn’t this your standard move?”


Dodola’s voice rang while poking fun at Meng Lei. “Now that your own attack is being used against you, does it feel frustrating?”


“Nope. I actually enjoy this feeling.”


Meng Lei neither dodged nor evaded as he let the spears flood him. Given Meng Lei’s divine body’s degree of sturdiness, these black spears would not harm his divine body at all.


Once they came into contact with him, the rain of spears turned into countless black flames, which devoured Meng Lei in an instant. Meng Lei turned into a black human torch as the fire burned incessantly.


“He’s dead for sure! Even if he has the strength to rival Isaiah, being devoured in the Netherworld Divine Fire means that he’ll never come back from this!”


The Three-Headed Hell Empress had already given Meng Lei the death sentence.


“I wonder where such a crazily strong fellow popped out from.” Alec, the Fallen Emperor, frowned with puzzled eyes.


“It doesn’t matter. What matters now is that he’s about to be burned to death, and that’s good enough!”


Euphemia shook her head and smiled. To be honest, the Dark Hell Continent had been the trio’s territory. Hence, the sudden appearance of someone whose powers matched theirs frightened them.


Fortunately for them, this fellow was about to be burned to death while anything else would not matter.


However, as the burning process continued, Euphemia’s eyebrows raised eventually. Meng Lei seemed fine in the flames of the Netherworld Divine Fire?


He stood within the raging black fire like steel in normal flames. No matter how the fire burned, there was no injury on him!


Euphemia frowned and asked, “Isaiah, there seems to be something wrong?”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor did not reply. He glared at Meng Lei with crashing waves churning in his heart.


This guy... seems unafraid of the Netherworld Divine Fire?


“No! This isn’t possible! The Netherworld Divine Fire is everlasting and burns everything. Mine has already been enhanced to a great level!”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor shook his head repeatedly. “It will burn him! I’ll wait! I’ll just wait...”


He waited and waited.


A minute passed.


Two minutes passed.


Three minutes passed.


In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed. Meng Lei stood among the flames and let the flames burn while he remained firm and motionless.


“How did this happen?”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor was stunned once more.


It was the same for Euphemia and Alec as the Netherworld Divine Fire was useless against Meng Lei.


“Your Majesty, so this is your Netherworld Divine Fire? It doesn’t seem that great after all.” Meng Lei shook his head slightly and continued. “I thought that Your Majesty’s Netherworld Divine Fire would be incredibly powerful and burn anything. After seeing it today... it’s nothing impressive.”


“Why? Why aren’t you afraid of my Netherworld Divine Fire?” The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor seemed to be dealt with a huge blow upon seeing that his signature move was useless against Meng Lei.


“Why?”


Meng Lei shook his head and grinned. He pointed a finger, and a golden flame appeared. “That’s because I have the Netherworld Divine Fire too!”


“Netherworld Divine Fire?”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor paused for a moment before laughing. “You call this the Netherworld Divine Fire? Who are you trying to bluff? Who doesn’t know that the Netherworld Divine Fire is black!”


“Don’t believe me? Let’s try it out then!”


Meng Lei flicked the golden flame on his fingertip into the black flames. Once both met, they started to burn each other madly.


At the start, the size of the black fire was ferociously huge, while the golden one was only the size of a finger.


It seemed that both were at a different level. However, the strange thing was that the golden flame became more and more intense as its size swelled swiftly.


On the other hand, the black fire became smaller and smaller. It could not suppress the growth of the golden fire, and it was gradually engulfed in golden flames.


In the end, only Meng Lei’s golden flames remained!


“T-this... How... How is this possible?”


The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor could not believe his eyes. The Netherworld Divine Fire that he had evolved from the eight rebirths was completely suppressed!


No matter how strong your Netherworld Divine Fire is, how would it match against my Metal-Origin Netherworld Divine Fire? Meng Lei thought triumphantly.


After his Metal-Origin Body was upgraded to Great Mastery, his Netherworld Divine Fire was enhanced into the Metal-Origin Netherworld Divine Fire. However, the increase in power was not too much. Thus, it was still slightly inferior to the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s Netherworld Divine Fire.


It was not a big deal since he could continue enhancing it.


Hence, Meng Lei spent 100 million Divinity Crystals to enhance the Netherworld Divine Fire again until it evolved into the Ultimate Innate Special Ability!


Ultimate Innate Special Ability!


What did ultimate represent?


Ultimate represented the extreme. It represented that there were no Innate Special Abilities stronger than the Ultimate Innate Special Ability. It also represented that Meng Lei’s Netherworld Divine Fire was enhanced to the limit, and it would never evolve again no matter how many times he underwent rebirth again.


Of course, it meant that Meng Lei’s Metal-Origin Netherworld Divine Fire now was at the same level as a normal nine-rebirth Netherworld Divine Fire, while Meng Lei’s divine fire might be slightly stronger too.


“What kind of fire is that?” muttered the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor.


“You still can’t tell? What a foolish demon!”


Meng Lei shook his head as he transformed into a shining Divine Golden Phoenix.


“This aura!”
