“If you don't tell me, you can punch until your fists are broken, and you still won't be able to break through my spatial lockdown.”

The Great Elder stared coldly at Qiao Yu's left hand, which was already covered in blood. Some of the deeper wounds even revealed the ghastly white bone.

However, Qiao Yu swung his left fist numbly, like a machine on an assembly line.

Soon, the other elders on the Divine Mountain had arrived, along with the Divine Guards of the Divine Emperor's Hall.

“Why is one missing?” The First Divine Guard, Michael, noticed a missing figure as soon as he arrived.

The Fifth Divine Guard, Raguel, had been killed by Yi Liushui, so there should have been six of the seven Divine Guards left, but there were only five, including himself.

“Where's Gabriel?” Michael frowned.

The other Divine Guards looked at each other and shook their heads.

“Could it be... Gabriel died at the hands of that kid?” Combining that earth-shattering explosion just now, Michael suddenly had a very ominous premonition in his heart.

Afterwards, the Divine Guards all turned their attention to Qiao Yu, who was holding An Liya.

For this kid, all the Saint-level experts of their Western Alliance had come out in full force, giving him more than enough face.

Moreover, this was the second time. The last time was at An Liya's wedding, also because of this kid named Qiao Yu!

“This kid is improving so fast?”

Everyone was shocked when they saw Qiao Yu constantly swinging his left fist.

Qiao Yu's progress had exceeded everyone's expectations. Such talent was unprecedented on the entire Kaiji Star.

These top powerhouses of the Western Alliance all had the same thought in their minds!

This child must not be allowed to live!

“Ah!!!”

Feeling An Liya's aura growing weaker and weaker in his arms, Qiao Yu let out an angry roar, his black hair standing on end, his anger almost igniting his chest.

He stopped trying to shatter space, and instead turned around to stare at the dozen or so Saint-level experts of the Western Alliance, his eyes full of soaring ferocity.

“Since you old fogey insists on stopping me, today I, Qiao Yu, will overturn your Divine Mountain!”

Qiao Yu stretched out his fair and slender left hand, then slowly closed his five fingers!

If he couldn't use his right hand, he still had his left!

The ghostly energy on the Youming Rakshasa Body (Nether Rakshasa Body) was like it had found an outlet, desperately converging towards Qiao Yu's left hand, instantly dyeing Qiao Yu's left hand black.

Even if this hand was crippled, Qiao Yu wouldn't hesitate!

“Youming Kaitian Quan (Nether Sky-Opening Fist)!”

The ghostly energy, which had been superimposed and collapsed countless times, poured out at this moment, and the entire Divine Mountain was invaded by countless rampaging ghostly energies for the first time.

The moment the Youming Kaitian Quan (Nether Sky-Opening Fist) was unleashed, the entire Divine Mountain seemed to have turned into a ghost mountain, and countless plants withered directly under the shroud of ghostly energy.

The overwhelming ghostly energy poured towards the Great Elder and the others.

“What kind of fist is this?” The Great Elder's face changed for the first time, and a look of horror flashed across his old face.

Immediately afterwards, the ghostly energy struck, and the Great Elder's entire face twisted.

“Spatial Collapse!”

The Great Elder, realizing what was happening, immediately retaliated, and the space in front of him was stacked and collapsed like layers of mirrors.

The ghostly energy that was about to attack him was also forcibly pushed back along with the space.

“Attack together!” the Great Elder exclaimed.

Subsequently, the Saint-level experts of the Western Alliance attacked ferociously!

The Youming Kaitian Quan (Nether Sky-Opening Fist) was powerful, but after all, Qiao Yu himself was only at the Emperor level.

Facing so many Saint-level experts, it was simply not enough.

The violent ghostly energy was directly pushed back, attacking Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu turned around, protected An Liya in his arms, and then used his body to withstand this blow.

“Pfft!”

Qiao Yu was blasted away, the blood he spat out staining An Liya's clothes red, but a smile appeared on his face instead.

“Not good!”

The Great Elder, realizing what was happening, had a look of shock flash across his eyes, because the direction Qiao Yu was flying was exactly the direction of the Fallen God Pit!

However, it was too late. The violent force gave Qiao Yu enough acceleration, and his body drew an arc and fell into the crack in the Fallen God Pit.

After falling for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yu finally fell to the deepest part of the Fallen God Pit.

“Qiao Yu? Why are you in such a mess?”

Hermes, in a suit and leather shoes, frowned as he looked at Qiao Yu, who was covered in blood.

Qiao Yu at this time was extremely embarrassed. Using the Youming Kaitian Quan (Nether Sky-Opening Fist) twice in a row had completely overloaded his body. As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but cough up a large mouthful of blood.

Both of Qiao Yu's hands had been corroded by the ghostly energy, as dry as two chicken claws. He couldn't even make a simple fist now, but he still stubbornly used his forearms to lift An Liya up.

“Hermes, please, save her!”

“This is... the Annihilation Soul Curse?”

Hermes frowned slightly, then reached out to examine An Liya's condition, then slowly shook his head.

“If you had brought her here earlier, I could have undone it, but now, I'm not sure anymore.”

“How is that possible? Aren't you a god? Still one of the Twelve Main Gods, you should be omnipotent!” Qiao Yu became anxious all of a sudden.

The corners of Hermes's mouth curled up in an imperceptible smile.

“Alas, there's really no way. This seal restricts too much of my power. If you can undo the seal, I might still have a way.”

Hermes spread his hands, looking helpless.

“How do I undo the seal? I'll help you undo it right now!” Qiao Yu anxiously asked.

“This... I'm afraid it will be a bit of a sacrifice for you...” Hermes looked very embarrassed.

“It's okay! Tell me, I will definitely do it...” Qiao Yu agreed repeatedly, but at this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely strong wave of drowsiness surge into his mind.

Qiao Yu felt as sleepy as if he hadn't slept for four or five days, and passed out directly.

After Qiao Yu passed out, a black shadow emerged from his body.

The corners of Hermes's mouth curled up the moment he saw this black shadow, and then he said gently.

“I thought you were going to hide and refuse to see me forever.”

Hermes lowered his eyes and glanced at Qiao Yu and An Liya.

“But you too, you've already taken action to save that girl, and you still let Qiao Yu work so hard. Although it's to make him grow faster, aren't you afraid of pushing him too hard?”

“I have nothing to say to you, and I don't need to explain my actions to you. Speak, what do you want me to do?” The black shadow's tone was extremely cold, and he didn't have a good word for Hermes.

“Nothing, according to the current progress, Qiao Yu should be able to undo my seal within this year. I want to discuss a small matter with you,” Hermes said with a smile.

“Speak,” the black shadow said.

Just as the black shadow and Hermes were communicating at the bottom of the Fallen God Pit, An Liya was not feeling well at this time.

She felt her consciousness sinking into boundless darkness bit by bit.

It was as if she was falling into a bottomless abyss.

Gradually, all that remained around her was boundless darkness, as if this was the end of the world.

And in the boundless darkness, two rays of light suddenly appeared.

Two tall figures appeared in front of An Liya.

These two figures looked exactly alike, except that one had golden hair and pupils, while the other had silver hair and pupils.

Just as An Liya was puzzled, she heard the two figures kneel down on one knee at the same time and say to her.

“Welcome home, Queen of the Underworld, Persephone.”
