I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

Chapter 192 The Holy Lord Appears

"So that's why we couldn't sense the Youming Ice Spring."

Looking at the qinglian heart at the bottom of the sea, Lin Ning pondered for a moment.

The qinglian heart contains very powerful fire elements, while the Youming Ice Spring is an extremely cold object.

When both exist in the same place, the heat released by the qinglian heart happens to counteract and offset the Youming Ice Spring.

This is why the temperature of the seawater didn't change much, and even the River God didn't discover its existence.

"Oh dear, the River God was ultimately misled by his own experience."

Lin Ning smiled. According to legend, where the Youming Ice Spring exists, the seawater turns into ice, and even the surrounding environment changes because of it.

Perhaps precisely because of this, when the River God arrived in this area, he judged based on his experience that the Youming Ice Spring wouldn't be here, thus overlooking it.

Furthermore, on the way to find the Youming Ice Spring, this guy the River God was chased by so many sharks and sea creatures, which consumed a lot of his physical strength.

"Useless.", Lin Ning couldn't help but complain, then thought, "Oh, I can't say that. After all, he's someone I brought along, my teammate."

How can I curse a teammate behind his back?

Plucking the qinglian heart, the moment his hand touched it, Lin Ning felt the blood in his body rapidly boiling. He felt as if he had jumped into a volcano.

Endless heat flowed through his fingers and spread throughout his body.

"What a terrifying thing.", Lin Ning quickly stored the qinglian heart into the system space.

It was the moment the qinglian heart was put away.

Without the obstruction of the fire, the cold aura emanating from the Youming Ice Spring instantly froze the seawater, and even Lin Ning turned into an ice sculpture.

Above, ice spikes shot into the sky. The seawater was frozen and then pierced by these ice spikes.

The cold ice spikes gleamed chillingly, pointing directly at the sky.

"Holy crap! How did this seawater suddenly change!"

The River God was startled. He quickly used his perception to investigate the changes here.

"Did the Lin Emperor find the Youming Ice Spring?"

The River God was surprised, "Wait, that's not right. I didn't feel any cold just now. This coldness appeared suddenly."

"Could it be that the Youming Ice Spring was just born??"

The River God scratched his head, completely bewildered.

Beside him, the Underworld Official Hua Gu smiled and said, "Since we've found the Youming Ice Spring, our mission is almost complete."

The River God ignored Hua Gu and pointed his hand. The ice below immediately melted.

He plunged in headfirst. With the blessing of the River God's power, the ice melted quickly, and the River God soon found Lin Ning's location.

"Lin Emperor, how did you find this Youming Ice Spring?"

Looking at the ice spring at the bottom of the sea, which had a clear boundary from the surrounding seawater and emitted a powerful coldness, the River God was surprised.

"Useless.", Lin Ning didn't like complaining about his teammates behind their backs.

If there's something to say, of course, it's better to face each other and roast them directly.

"Hey Lin Emperor, that's not right.", the River God said, "To take a step back, don't you feel like I was training you?"

"Training my ass!", Lin Ning said, "The Youming Ice Spring has been here for so long, and you didn't even find it!"

"I remember you said just now that you had searched all areas and found no clues about the Youming Ice Spring."

Hearing this, the River God pouted and said, "Accident, accident. Even a good horse stumbles, and a skilled person makes mistakes. I'm the lowest level of God. I'm just a River God. What more can you ask for?"

"Besides!"

"I didn't ask for any reward!"

Hearing 'reward', Lin Ning turned his head away.

Indeed, he hadn't given the River God any help.

Lin Ning thought for a moment, "How about I give you three weapons for self-defense?"

"What weapons?"

The River God's eyes lit up. He had long heard that Lin Ning was a True God-level blacksmith in the Barren Ancient Continent.

The weapons he gave wouldn't be too bad.

Lin Ning took out three axes: a golden axe, a silver axe, and a regular axe.

"What use are three axes to me?"

the River God said angrily, "Do you want me to use the three-axe style?"

"You can ask the person who dropped the axe which one is his.", Lin Ning said with a dry laugh.

The River God's face darkened.

???

Ask someone else what axe they dropped?

I'm the River God, why would I ask such idiotic questions?

Just as the River God was about to retort to Lin Ning, he felt a terrifying power.

Bang!

The frozen seawater around them instantly shattered, and a powerful shockwave rushed from the surface of the sea directly to the bottom.

"The aura of Youdu. He's here."

The River God quickly cupped his hands and said, "Since the Lin Emperor has found the treasure, this humble God shall take his leave first."

Lin Ning reached out to grab the River God, but the latter instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

"He runs quite fast.", Lin Ning sighed.

Quickly adjusting his emotions, an axe sliced from the opposite side of the sea.

The axe spun at high speed, generating power that directly split the sea apart, leaving Lin Ning and the Youming Ice Spring in the middle of the land.

"Heh, Hua Gu guessed correctly. You really came."

Looking at the Holy Lord Yan Huang opposite him, Lin Ning said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, are you helping them find this Youming Ice Spring to merge Youdu and the Netherworld?"

The Holy Lord Yan Huang's eyes were hollow. He was like an emotionless machine, even his tone and speed of speech were exactly like a robot.

"The universe will ultimately be destroyed.", the Holy Lord Yan Huang only said this one sentence, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lin Ning.

The Holy Lord Yan Huang raised his fist, and three thousand laws immediately swirled around him.

Lin Ning raised his hand to block, wanting to free up his hand to put this pool of Youming Ice Spring into the system space, but he was prompted that it wasn't an item.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ning frowned, "The Youming Ice Spring can't be stored?"

One must know that whether it was the qinglian heart or those Emperor-level and True God-level weapons, they could all be stored by Lin Ning in the system.

However, this Youming Ice Spring couldn't be stored now.

"Hua Gu, attack!"

Without time to think further, Lin Ning directly summoned Hua Gu.

"Lin Emperor, I have informed the King Yama about this matter, and he will appear soon."

Hua Gu said in a deep voice, "We should focus all our efforts on dealing with the Holy Lord for now. We can talk about other things later!"

Lin Ning nodded. His figure flashed, and all swords returned to their origin. Countless sword shadows flew rapidly from all over the world, from the ends of the earth.

"Suppress!"

Lin Ning pointed with his right hand, and ten thousand swords fell.

Opposite him, the Holy Lord Yan Huang, who was imbued with the aura of both Youdu and the Netherworld, was not someone to be trifled with.

The Holy Lord Yan Huang slightly raised his right palm, and a large mass of black shadow appeared beneath Lin Ning's feet.

The moment the black shadow appeared, dense figures seemed to emerge from the ground.

"Chichichi!"

Sword light fell, and the black shadow dispersed.

"Don't worry, Lin Emperor. The item is in hand.", Hua Gu said in a deep voice, "It's time to finish this."

Lin Ning shook his head, looking darkly at the other party, "Are we finishing him, or are you thinking of finishing us?"

"What do you mean?"

Hua Gu asked.
