Chapter 3295: Do You Have the Right to Bargain?
The Balance Gem was very powerful, able to balance various forces, whether magical treasures, cultivation, realms, or arrays - all were within its balancing range.
However, not everything could be balanced. There were exceptions.
For example, destiny and the Power Great Dao.
Illusory things could not be balanced.
Now the Netherworld Divine Lordâs power had decreased, but Lin Moyu still possessed a sixth level Dao Venerable physical body.
The Power Great Dao commanded all the power throughout his body, from inside to out, whether attack or defense, whether physical power or soul power, all under the Power Great Daoâs command, forming a whole.
Now even if Lin Moyu stood still and let the Netherworld Divine Lord attack, the Netherworld Divine Lord couldnât harm Lin Moyu at all.
At least under the Balance Gemâs restrictions, he couldnât.
Moreover, with the Elemental Gem, all attacks related to elements were completely ineffective.
The Netherworld Divine Lord trembled, looking at Lin Moyu with eyes full of fear.
The appearance of the Calamity Scepter had made him greedy, but the flickering light of the two gems made him feel fear again.
He seemed to recall that period of time long ago, remembering how terrifying his former master was.
Before his former master, he had been so lowly and insignificant.
Past memories occupied his thoughts, leaving the Netherworld Divine Lord in a daze, lost in fear.
It wasnât until Lin Moyu came before him that the Netherworld Divine Lord snapped back to his senses with a start.
If he had been able to move, he probably would have fled without a trace by now.
Lin Moyu looked at him, smiling, "Are you very afraid?"
At this moment, Lin Moyuâs smile looked incredibly frightening in the Netherworld Divine Lordâs eyes.
His mouth moved twice but he didnât speak. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would give himself away. At this moment, the Netherworld Divine Lord felt his entire body, inside and out, was trembling.
He couldnât control his body. He was afraid that if he spoke, his voice would shake.
Lin Moyu said, "Iâll ask, you answer. If your answers satisfy me, perhaps Iâll consider sparing you. Understand?"
With the knife at his throat, the Netherworld Divine Lord had no choice in this situation.
As long as he still wanted to live, he had to obey.
Having barely survived the Origin Catastrophe, struggling for so many years, the Netherworld Divine Lord still dreamed of breaking free from the Netherworld Black Poolâs constraints and becoming an independent being. How could he want to die?
The higher the realm and the longer one lived, the more one often feared death.
He didnât speak, just nodded his head.
Lin Moyu asked, "Who shattered hell back then? How did your former master die? Think carefully before answering."
The Netherworld Divine Lord seemed to recall what happened back then. The fear in his eyes grew even more intense.
A low, trembling voice came from his throat, "I donât know, I really donât know. I only saw a giant hand fall, and hell cracked!"
"Then Master left hell, probably to battle the opponent. But soon after, I saw Master fall from the sky."
"Then that giant hand fell again, smashing Master to ash. Even hell shattered along with him."
Lin Moyu frowned, "This answer is different from what you said before."
The Netherworld Divine Lord said, "I was lying to you before. I only know it was an incredibly terrifying being, extremely frightening."
Lin Moyu said, "What realm was your master at? Compared to the Dao Lords, who was stronger?"
At this point, Lin Moyu was still very unclear about the Lord of Hellâs realm. Even the Three Ancestors might not be able to answer this question. The Netherworld Divine Lord should know more, perhaps able to provide an answer.
The Netherworld Divine Lord said softly, "I donât know how strong the Dao Lords are, but I feel Master was probably a bit stronger."
He seemed afraid his answer wouldnât satisfy Lin Moyu, immediately adding, "I was asleep most of the time and didnât pay much attention to outside affairs, so I donât know very much."
"But I once saw a Dao Lord come to visit Master, so I feel Masterâs status was probably higher."
Lin Moyu didnât pursue the question further. He could sense the Netherworld Divine Lord wasnât lying.
So he changed to another question, "Regarding the Gates of Hell, you seemed very afraid of it just now."
The Netherworld Divine Lord said, "Master once said the Gates of Hell were the source of hell, the most terrifying thing in hell. But I never saw Master use the Gates of Hell. Even when Master died in the end, the Gates of Hell never moved."
Lin Moyu frowned, "The Gates of Hell never moved?"
The Netherworld Divine Lord nodded, his trembling voice certain, "Never moved."
Lin Moyu felt increasingly strange. If the Gates of Hell were the most terrifying thing in all of hell, they should be incredibly powerful. Why hadnât they moved even when hell was shattered in the end?
This didnât make sense. If they were so powerful, why didnât they move?
Lin Moyu couldnât guess why, but the power of the Gates of Hell should be common knowledge.
Whether the Netherworld Divine Lordâs fear of the Gates of Hell, or the reaction of Great Dao realm beings like Jin Lei back then, both suggested the Gates of Hell were indeed a very frightening existence.
Never used yet felt terrifying - this information must have leaked from the Lord of Hellâs own mouth.
If he hadnât said anything, who else would know?
Lin Moyu knew he couldnât get much more information, so he changed the subject again, "When hell shattered back then, how did you survive? Also, tell me in detail about how you evolved the Netherworld race."
The Netherworld Divine Lord said, "When Master died, I was very afraid, so I shrank to the deepest part of the Netherworld Black Pool."
"Afterwards hell was shattered, and the Netherworld Black Pool was also shattered. I was also severely injured. But I was lucky and didnât die, coming here along with the fragments."
"For all these years, Iâve always hoped to recover fully, but my injuries were too severe. And without hell, the Netherworld Black Pool was like water without a source. My main body could never recover."
"Fortunately the Netherworld Black Poolâs power remained, and I also had a hell fragment. So I used the Netherworld Black Pool and the hell fragment to evolve the Netherworld race."
The Netherworld Divine Lordâs answers were mostly in line with what Lin Moyu had thought, with only some minor differences in details that didnât matter much.
To save his life, the Netherworld Divine Lord was indeed telling everything he knew without holding back.
Lin Moyu calculated the time. The Great Dao Immortality Pill didnât have much time left. He hurriedly asked, "How many pieces did hell shatter into back then?"
The Netherworld Divine Lord thought for a moment, "Not many pieces. When hell shattered, most of it turned to ash. Very few fragments remained."
"But I know there was one special fragment that didnât turn to ash."
"I know you want to re-evolve hell and become the Lord of Hell, but unless you can find that one piece, no matter how many hell fragments you collect, it will be useless."
Lin Moyu asked, "What special fragment?"
The Netherworld Divine Lord said, "First promise me, as long as I tell you, you wonât kill me."
Lin Moyu sneered, "Do you have the right to bargain?"
The Netherworld Divine Lord suddenly became very stubborn, "If you donât promise, then kill me. I wonât say anything anyway."
He looked like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, seemingly intending to use this information to save his life.
Lin Moyu had only said earlier he would consider not killing him, but hadnât truly promised.
Seeing the Netherworld Divine Lord like this, Lin Moyu said, "Fine, as long as you tell the truth, I wonât kill you."
The Netherworld Divine Lord said, "Itâs a piece..."
