Beneath the Abyss, within the sealed land, a burst of wild laughter echoed endlessly. But then, a not-so-loud sound appeared, and the wild laughter abruptly stopped.
Nine Nether didn't dare to move randomly at all now. Even turning around was done cautiously, for fear that if he turned too quickly, his Soul would be pierced by something.
Seeing Nine Nether's cautious appearance, Zhao Li was very confused. Was he that scary? Why was Nine Nether reacting so strongly?
"Hey, I'm back."
Zhao Li greeted Nine Nether sincerely. If Nine Nether hadn't told him so many secrets, he didn't know how long it would have taken him to figure out the secrets of the ages. It was no exaggeration to say that Nine Nether was truly a good Senior to Zhao Li.
Seeing Zhao Li, Nine Nether showed a look of shock and exclaimed:
"It's you! You're not dead?"
Although he was shocked, seeing that it was Zhao Li, the heart he had been holding tight finally relaxed.
He couldn't see through Zhao Li. There was only one possibility: Zhao Li was definitely a true Heavenly Supreme in Strength. The one who died earlier was probably just a Clone of his.
This also explained why he could feel the essence of a Heavenly Supreme in Zhao Li's Soul, but Zhao Li didn't have the corresponding Strength.
But even with a Heavenly Supreme right in front of him, he wasn't flustered. He even felt that his Opportunity was good. With the Soul Imprint planted, Zhao Li couldn't do anything to him.
His Soul Imprint was planted within the Soul. As long as they were the same Soul, no matter how many Clones Zhao Li had, he couldn't escape the fate of being controlled by the Soul Imprint.
Even now, he still hadn't thought that the Soul Imprint he considered secret had been erased by Zhao Li's Soul essence, which was Innate from Heaven Opening and Earth Opening.
How could a Native of the Dou Qi Continent be capable of breaking a Soul Technique that was considered top-tier even in the Great Thousand World?
Zhao Li didn't know what Nine Nether was thinking. Seeing his shocked appearance, he chuckled, then put on a sad look and said:
"Nine Nether, I sincerely wanted to save you, but you, well, you kept setting traps one after another, determined to screw me over. What's wrong? You're a Demon Emperor level existence, yet you're still so shameless, deceiving a simple young man like me?"
He revealed his intentions, no longer preparing to Feign Compliance with this guy. The reason was simple: he finally realized the fact that he was very strong. Nine Nether, whom he couldn't even see clearly before, seemed to pose no threat now.
He had become arrogant!
Nine Nether took a deep breath, regaining his proper demeanor. His words still carried the tone of an old Senior, and he said with emotion:
"You are very good. I didn't expect that someone like you could appear on the Dou Qi Continent today. This Emperor is very curious, where did you get the Origin Qi to break through to Dou Di, and even go further, completely entering the Heavenly Supreme Realm?"
For Ten Thousand Years, there had been many Quasi Heavenly Supremes on the Dou Qi Continent, but not a single true Heavenly Supreme. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight with them for so long.
Of course, Quasi Heavenly Supremes were also Heavenly Supremes. What they lacked was merely Foundation. Fortunately, they were just Natives of a Pocket World. There were quite a few of them, but they couldn't do anything to him.
It was precisely because he discovered the abnormal phenomenon of a frightening number of Quasi Heavenly Supremes on the Dou Qi Continent that he keenly sensed that there might be some secret within the Dou Qi Continent. After some investigation, he discovered the secret that the Plane Embryo could continuously condense.
Zhao Li heard his words of Doubt, but quickly caught a few special words within them, and said in surprise:
"Heavenly Supreme? You mean my current Realm has entered Heavenly Supreme?"
He had always known that after his breakthrough, although he wasn't a Dou Di, he was definitely not weaker than one. But without a reference, he had never been sure of his Realm. This was the first time he had heard someone state it.
Nine Nether took Zhao Li's Doubt and surprise as the ignorance of a Native who didn't know what the Heavenly Supreme Realm was. As if just realizing it, he said:
"Oh, I forgot that there is no Heavenly Supreme Realm here. Heavenly Supreme, you call it Dou Di here. Of course, even Dou Di is just a Quasi Heavenly Supreme. They still lack accumulation and need to undergo Spiritual Energy tempering. It's just that you seem to be different from the Dou Dis of the ages..."
When saying the first part, he unconsciously felt a sense of superiority. This feeling of Crushing others in terms of knowledge and experience was truly fascinating. However, as he spoke later, he lost the previous confidence and arrogance. He also couldn't figure out how Zhao Li had entered the Heavenly Supreme Realm.
Zhao Li, of course, knew that he was different from ordinary Dou Dis. After all, even when he was a Half-step Dou Di, his control over the Power of Heaven and Earth had reached an unprecedented ninety percent. It would take any other Dou Di a considerable amount of Time to gain control of this ninety percent.
As for the remaining ten percent, no one could achieve it except for those who had mastered a complete Plane Embryo. At this point, it was no longer something that could be achieved through comprehension.
At that time, he had truly reached the limit of the Dou Qi Continent. He hadn't Become Emperor simply because he lacked an opportunity, and that opportunity was Origin Qi. As long as he was given a trace of Origin Qi, becoming an Emperor on the spot was not an illusion!
If his control over Heaven and Earth had been slightly less, it wouldn't have caused his Golden Core to attract the World Will's desire. It was truly the ninety percent comprehension, that Dao which was almost complete but not of the same origin as the World Origin, that was too attractive to a world that instinctively desired to become stronger.
But it was precisely because of that accidental incident that he truly reached the Dou Di Realm from that point on.
Zhao Li couldn't help but find it interesting. Although things didn't all play out according to the script he had in mind, the unexpected events that occurred created many surprises.
"Heavenly Supreme? Not bad. If I continue, Immortal Grade and Saint Grade shouldn't be a problem. I wonder if I can become a Dominator?"
Zhao Li muttered to himself. He didn't doubt the upper limit of the Route he was taking. He just felt that he might not be able to complete it. After all, the one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred gods around him were not that easy to condense.
But even if he couldn't achieve perfection, an Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme or even a Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme, who were considered powerhouses in the Great Thousand World, were definitely no longer a pipe dream for him.
Zhao Li didn't doubt Nine Nether's eyesight. Although he looked miserable, he was indeed a genuine Heavenly Supreme. He still had that much discernment.
"Heavenly Supreme? That's enough. If that's the case, perhaps I can truly be the Homelander."
After truly learning his Realm, Zhao Li unexpectedly found that all the unknown changes in the future had vanished like smoke. Even seeing his own Obsession personally, he had become more 'worldly'.
"All fear of the unknown stems from insufficient Firepower. It's indeed profound."
Zhao Li thought of the summaries made by netizens when he used to surf the internet. At this moment, he agreed with them twelve-fold.
He found that after putting down the burden in his heart, he even had the leisure to let his mind wander. He quickly composed himself, shook his head slightly, looked at Nine Nether, and said:
"Thank you for the information. It's just that I have to be a villain. Your Demonic Qi might allow another race to appear in my world."
As he spoke, his aura changed, and then he stretched out his palm and grabbed towards Nine Nether.
It was clearly just a casual movement, but in Nine Nether's eyes, it was as if a Demon God born before Heaven and Earth was grabbing at him. That palm actually gave him a feeling even heavier than some worlds.
