Su Chan and Dongfang Ping acquired impressive treasures from the light spheres, a Luo Divine Shield and a Divine King level cultivation technique, respectively. Xu Nian obtained Black Nether Gold, a rare artifact refining material crucial for his future plans, before the trio moved to the second floor of the Netherworld King's Tomb. There, they encountered a powerful Early Stage God-level Sharp-Horned Silver Python shielded from cultivation suppression by Divine Patterns, posing a significant threat.

The colossal serpent regarded the statement as utterly preposterous. Who did this Immortal Emperor think he was, claiming he wouldn't kill it? Was he insane?

As for the woman, though she was a God-level expert, the Heavenly Dao's suppression in this region crippled her true combat capabilities, rendering her harmless to the serpent.

Thus, in the serpent's view, the three before it were no more significant than mere ants.

"Human, are you courting your own demise?" the giant serpent taunted, its massive red tongue flicking, a potent divine pressure descending upon Xu Nian.

Yet, not only did Xu Nian remain unfazed by this onslaught, but he stood firm, like a sharpened blade piercing the heavens.

On the other side, Su Chan, gripping her long spear, displayed no flicker of hesitation; she too was a God-level expert.

This God-level pressure posed no genuine threat to her.

Dongfang Ping, however, found himself in dire straits, his entire being straining to withstand the terrifying pressure. He was utterly immobilized, incapable of moving a single step, let alone joining the fray.

"You should step aside for now," Xu Nian instructed Dongfang Ping.

Dongfang Ping hesitated for a moment before ultimately nodding his assent.

Despite not understanding why Xu Nian seemed so unaffected by the formidable God-level pressure, he recognized Xu Nian's current display of immense strength, far surpassing his own.

"Hmm, you can actually withstand my pressure; it appears you possess certain extraordinary qualities," the giant snake expressed a hint of surprise.

"Let's not waste any more time," Xu Nian responded with a relaxed smile.

He had no desire for protracted delays; this giant snake was an insurmountable obstacle.

They were compelled to fight their way through.

"Since you are so eager to embrace death, I shall oblige your wish."

The giant snake sneered before opening its blood-red maw and lunging towards Xu Nian.

Observing the attacking serpent, Xu Nian maintained a subtle smile.

He then clenched his fist, advanced, and an incredibly potent truth of the Great Dao instantly coalesced around him.

"Ninth-Level Earth Attribute Dao Truth?" Su Chan's expression shifted dramatically, revealing profound astonishment.

She had anticipated Xu Nian's considerable power, but never to this extent.

Ninth-Level Great Dao Truth?

This was an achievement that even many God-level experts had failed to attain.

She herself had only recently attained the Gold Attribute Ninth-Level Great Dao Truth.

For Xu Nian to accomplish this at the Immortal Emperor tier was simply beyond comprehension.

"Boom!"

The fearsome punch, imbued with immensely powerful energy waves, collided directly with the giant serpent.

The sheer force of the impact sent the giant snake recoiling.

"Impossible! How can an Immortal Emperor comprehend the Great Dao Truth?" The giant snake, though repelled, remained physically unscathed.

Possessing a God Body, such an attack was ultimately bearable.

Xu Nian stood tall, a faint smile gracing his lips as he regarded the serpent: "Who says an Immortal Emperor tier cannot comprehend the Great Dao Truth?"

"Hmph, even if you've grasped the Ninth-Level Great Dao Truth, what of it? Without ascending to the divine rank, you cannot unleash its true potential," the giant snake scoffed.

To wield the full might of the Great Dao Truth, one required divine power to accompany its application. Only then could the Ninth-Level Great Dao Truth's terrifying efficacy be fully realized.

If God Power were utilized, the unleashed might would be even more formidable.

Although it had only comprehended the Seventh-Level Great Dao Truth, it was amplified by God Power, ensuring the power it exerted vastly surpassed Xu Nian's.

"Buzz!"

As a surge of potent God Power emanated from the giant snake, fueled by this power, its Seventh-level Heavenly Water Attribute Dao Truth erupted with immeasurable force.

Under the serpent's focused intent, these water attribute Dao Truths coalesced into a colossal hand.

This hand, resembling a divine being's appendage, slammed ferociously towards Xu Nian.

Witnessing this, Xu Nian's brow furrowed.

He was taken aback by the sheer power of the Seventh-level Heavenly Tao Truth when amplified by God Power.

It was considerably more potent than his own Ninth-Level Great Tao Truth.

"It seems I must resort to using Divine Origin Liquid," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

However, before he could initiate the conversion of Divine Origin Liquid into divine power, Su Chan, standing beside him, unleashed a formidable aura.

She then moved with blinding speed, thrusting her spear forward with momentum akin to a vibrant rainbow.

Her spear directly impaled the gigantic hand.

Furthermore, extraordinary Gold Attribute God Power waves radiated from her person.

"A divine artifact capable of storing God Power? Hmph, I never anticipated you would possess such an item," the giant snake remarked, its gaze toward Su Chan instantly becoming guarded.

A divine artifact that stored God Power?

Xu Nian finally understood.

Su Chan's own God Power was rendered completely inert by the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

Though external God Power could be utilized, Su Chan had previously stashed a portion of her divine power within a sacred artifact.

She was now drawing upon this stored God Power.

This divine power was finite, consumed gradually, and significantly less potent than her own.

"Let's attack together! My God Power will not last indefinitely. We must eliminate it as quickly as possible," Su Chan declared to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian readily agreed with a nod.

With the aid of a skilled combatant like Su Chan, vanquishing the colossal serpent became considerably more manageable.

Without hesitation, Xu Nian unleashed the Divine Origin Liquid surging within him, transforming it into pure divine essence.

While the conversion of Divine Origin Liquid into divine power is a temporal process and relatively slow, and moreover, it is non-attributive.

Still, it was an advantage rather than none.

Xu Nian, gripping the God King Sword, directly invoked the Ninth-Level Great Dao Truth of the Wind Attribute.

In a swift motion, he delivered nine devastating strikes.

Six of these were parried by the immense serpent, while the remaining three found their mark, cleaving its tough hide.

Su Chan, brandishing her spear, engaged the beast head-on; a single, precise thrust from her spear sent the giant serpent crashing to the ground.

Finally, Xu Nian, channeling the Wind Attribute Dao Truth, commanded the God King Sword like a phantom blade, plunging it through the serpent's soul core and ending its existence instantly.

After bisecting the carcass, Xu Nian extracted the God Rank.

With this latest God Rank, Xu Nian now possessed a total of eight Godhoods.

"What if I claim this Godhood, and you take the beast's body?" Xu Nian proposed to Su Chan.

"No problem!" Su Chan promptly secured the giant serpent's remains.

To her, the corpse held seemingly greater value.

After all, having ascended to the God Realm, the Godhood was of no use to her.

And within the Divine World, Godhoods were by no means a rare commodity.

Xu Nian, however, harbored different intentions; he required numerous Godhoods to forge his Godhood Sword.

These Godhoods served as the optimal material for his artifact refinement.

"I'm curious about the treasures this level might hold," Xu Nian mused with a smile.

Then he cast his gaze about the surroundings.

Meanwhile, Su Chan's focus was directed forward, her eyes widening with a look of astonishment.
