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

Chapter 193 Dragon God Awakens

"Boom!"

Lin Ning did not directly answer Hua Gu's question, but instead blasted a palm towards him.

A giant palm descended from the sky, carrying world-destroying power. That terrifying force seemed to want to instantly obliterate Hua Gu.

Hua Gu's expression changed. Stepping with the Nine Shadows Thousand Flashes, he narrowly evaded Lin Ning's attack range.

He stared at Lin Ning with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "You are not an Emperor Venerable! You are a True God!"

Just now, Hua Gu captured the aura revealed in the gaps when Lin Ning used his cultivation technique.

Hua Gu was very surprised.

The Barren Ancient Continent is a cursed land. How could a True God appear here?

If Lin Ning came from outer space, that would be understandable.

However, the Underworld Official Hua Gu had investigated Lin Ning's information. He carefully examined various records of Lin Ning in the Netherworld. The other party was indeed a cultivator born on the Barren Ancient Continent.

And Lin Ning actually broke the curse and became a True God!

"Why were you able to become a god?" Hua Gu stared intently at Lin Ning. "Why are you attacking me!"

Lin Ning waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending. Wasn't Holy Lord Yan Huang summoned by you?"

"What do you mean?" Hua Gu's face darkened.

Lin Ning pointed to the Youming Ice Spring held in his hand and said, "Do I need to say more? Perhaps, let King Yama deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in the sky.

Those eyes stared fixedly at Hua Gu, causing the latter's body to tremble.

King Yama's voice came from the sky, saying, "Hua Gu, as an Underworld Official of the Netherworld, you actually colluded with Holy Lord Yan Huang, who is tainted with the aura of Youdu."

"By taking this Youming Ice Spring, what are you planning?"

King Yama had arrived, and Hua Gu no longer concealed anything.

A strange smile appeared on Hua Gu's face, and he said mockingly, "Lord, why would I collude with Holy Lord Yan Huang? Don't you know the reason in your heart?"

"They say our Netherworld split off from the Ancient Heavenly Court, but isn't it actually to suppress us?"

Hua Gu raised his head, looking directly at the pair of eyes in the sky without the slightest fear. "Lord, after so many years, you have become increasingly weak."

"Even though the Ancestral God has been dead for so many years, you still choose to keep the Netherworld in this cursed place. Although there is daytime, we have never seen the sun."

"There are so many Overlords in the Netherworld. They came from various places, and for so many years, they have all wanted to witness the sun! Lord, please lead us to witness the sun again!"

Seeing that King Yama had no response, Hua Gu seemed to have lost hope.

Covering his face, he laughed loudly, "Lord, since you have no intention of leading the Netherworld to see the light of day again, then let me do it!"

Saying that, he held up the Youming Ice Spring and muttered a string of incantations.

At the same time, the aura of Holy Lord Yan Huang, who was restrained by Lin Ning, suddenly surged.

The aura of the Netherworld and the aura of Youdu continuously surged. He was like a mixture on the verge of exploding. His body continuously expanded, his cultivation level continuously rose, and then he directly broke through Lin Ning's restraints.

"Holy Lord Yan Huang, I will give you the Youming Ice Spring you want." Hua Gu laughed loudly.

Holy Lord Yan Huang appeared beside him and reached out to touch the Youming Ice Spring. The moment he touched it, the smile on his face froze, and he spoke for the first time, "This is not the Youming Ice Spring."

Turning his head, he stared fiercely at Lin Ning, "The real Youming Ice Spring is still in his hands."

"This is impossible! I just put it into my possession with my own hands. How can it not be the Youming Ice Spring?" Hua Gu said in astonishment.

Across from him, Lin Ning said calmly, "Long before you and I came here, I had already guessed your secret."

Hua Gu said, "Clever, worthy of being Lin Emperor, worthy of being the Lin Emperor who could break the curse and become a god. No, perhaps I should call you Lin God now."

"But, if you think I'm powerless just because you secretly swapped the Youming Ice Spring?"

Hua Gu said in a deep voice, "Then you are underestimating me too much."

"Saramouchi, Curse of Return!" Hua Gu's voice suddenly became very ethereal, like an echo from ancient times.

As this incantation was chanted from his mouth, King Yama's expression in the sky changed drastically.

He transformed into a colossal figure, reaching out to stop Hua Gu.

"How do you know this kind of incantation!" King Yama said in astonishment.

"Heh heh, didn't expect that, did you? I have long since escaped your surveillance." Hua Gu said smugly.

In an instant, the world lost its color, and winds and clouds surged.

In the sky, spiritual energy storms formed, continuously stirring in the dark clouds.

At the same time, on the land of the Netherworld.

The treasures buried in various places, which had never appeared in the world, emerged at this moment. As if receiving instructions, they shot up into the sky and sped towards the area above Hua Gu.

"What's going on? Why have all these treasures emerged!"

"Excellent heaven and earth spiritual treasures! Mine, all mine!"

Throughout the Netherworld, when the undead saw these treasures flying, they all reached out, wanting to put them into their possession.

However, these treasures quickly broke free from their grasp.

"Not good, there's a terrifying forbidden curse!"

After an Overlord failed to grasp those magic treasures, he looked in the direction of Hua Gu and the others with astonishment.

"Lin Emperor, just watch."

Hua Gu extended his hand and waved towards Lin Ning.

The Youming Ice Spring hidden on Lin Ning's body suddenly rushed out and appeared in Hua Gu's hand in the blink of an eye.

"Is this a cultivation technique?" Lin Ning said in surprise.

Hua Gu split the Youming Ice Spring into two, throwing one part to Holy Lord Yan Huang.

The other part completely covered his right hand.

"Awaken, Ancient Dragon God!"

Hua Gu's face was full of piety, and the Youming Ice Spring in his hand disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just at this moment.

The city of Dragon Bone City suddenly erupted in turmoil.

The Dragon God's skeleton suddenly rose up and assembled into a Dragon God.

Immediately after, flesh and blood began to appear on the dragon bones. In less than a minute, there was a Dragon God of flesh and blood!

A pair of blue pupils suddenly opened, and a terrifying aura spread from the Dragon God.

A dragon roar echoed through the sky, making the Overlords of the Netherworld tremble with fear.

"This god has finally returned."

The Dragon God's body was enormous. After his recovery, his body was large enough to cover half the sky, comparable even to King Yama.

"I just opened my eyes and didn't expect the first thing I'd see would be you, this detestable fellow."

The Dragon God looked at King Yama with disgust. "It wasn't you who revived me; you wouldn't be so kind."

After sensing the gradually dissipating aura of the Youming Ice Spring on Hua Gu, the Dragon God lowered his head, looked at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "So it was you, this little Underworld Official, who revived me."

"What, did you fall out with that King Yama?"

"I remember, he taught you many cultivation techniques back then."

Hua Gu was surprised. He didn't expect the Dragon God to still remember him; they had clearly only met once!

"Since you revived me, I can grant you one wish. Speak, what do you want?"
