"Cao Ya? I've never heard of such a powerful Asura as you in Hell." The voice of the Lord of Tianshan came from the quiet room. Now that he had been discovered, he no longer hid. As an Asura and the Lord of Hell, he was arrogant.
Moreover, with the main material defense artifact on his body and the supreme divine relic—the nine spirit pearls, which is equivalent to the main soul defense artifact, he felt that he had already maxed out his double defense. Who was he afraid of?
Perhaps, if it were Beirut that were to challenge him, he might still feel quite apprehensive, after all, Beirut is hailed as an existence comparable to the Great Perfection.
However, this person named Cao Ya was unknown and had never been heard of before. Although he was a powerful Asura, he was not a minor figure, but he was definitely not an extremely powerful Asura.
Otherwise, in such a vast hell, it should have already earned a terrible reputation.
"It's time to use it." The Lord of Tianshan Prefecture thought for a moment and put the armband on his right arm.
After putting on this armband, the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture seemed to have a different aura.
"If we really use all nine spirit pearls, won't someone with ulterior motives discover something amiss?" The Lord of Tianshan Palace suddenly hesitated for a moment.
He was still worried that if someone discovered the origin of the nine spirit beads on the armlet and spread the word, attracting the arrival of the main god, the Blood Peak main god he served would be furious.
Even the supreme god coveted anything that involved the supreme god.
"Probably not. The Supreme Divine Mirror has been lost in the spatial turbulence. Apart from me, no one else would know that the Supreme God of Life issued a Supreme Divine Mission."
"Furthermore, if one simply examines these nine spirit pearls, people generally would at most consider them to be rare treasures of heaven and earth, possessing life attributes and containing some life rules, but no one would associate them with the supreme god of life."
"Moreover, although Cao Ya is an Asura, judging from his aura, he is certainly not someone who has cultivated the profound rules of the soul, such as the rules of death or the rules of life. Even if he has some means of attacking the soul, these nine spirit pearls can easily neutralize them without revealing too much."
"Of course, as an Asura, Cao Ya must have trump cards that are enough to make me change color. In terms of physical attacks, I have a main artifact for physical defense, so I don't have to worry at all. But in terms of soul attacks, I have to rely on the nine spirit beads."
"Just to be on the safe side, I still need to bring the nine spirit orbs with me, even if I might not need them."
"Yes, that's settled."
After hesitating for a moment, Lord Mold of Tianshan Prefecture shook his head, still wearing the armband, and with a whoosh, flew out of the quiet room.
"Look, the Lord of the Manor is out."
All the guards saw a cold-looking old man with black hair fly out from the Black Cloud Mountains.
The man had long black hair, a cold and resolute face, and eyes that were like knives. Even just standing there, he gave the impression of a roaring beast, ready to attack at any moment.
On his right arm, there was also an armband, which was inlaid with nine green beads.
"Hmm, wearing armbands?" People rarely see anyone wearing armbands. After all, strong people wear armor at most when fighting, so armbands are useless. However, a very small number of people do wear them. Some wear them because of family custom or the local customs when they grew up, while others wear them purely out of hobby.
In short, people were slightly surprised, glanced at it, and then paid no more attention.
Only Cao Ya knew what the armlet was.
He glanced at her discreetly and then moved on, without showing much unusual expression, which aroused the vigilance of Lord Morde of Tianshan Prefecture.
The supreme divine token, nine spirit pearls...
However, Cao Ya's heart was burning with passion.
Such wondrous objects, evolved by the supreme gods, possess the power of creation itself, surpassing even the most powerful divine artifacts.
Whew~~~
Above, a gust of wind blew, causing Cao Ya's long, bluish-green hair to flutter, his eyes deep and his face calm.
This is his water-elemental divine avatar.
Gu Cheng
Without a doubt, since he came to challenge the Lord of Hell, he must have used a water-type divine avatar that had reached the Asura level. No other divine avatars had such strength. Even the lightning and dark divine avatars that had broken through to the level of high gods, although they had the strength of five-star and six-star demons respectively, were far inferior to Asura.
They can only serve as support, not as the main attacker.
Behind them, Linley, Beirut, Gasresen, and the others also emerged from their metallic bodies, standing in mid-air, gazing at the confrontation between Cao Ya and the Lord of Tianshan, and talking amongst themselves.
"Who do you think will win this battle?"
"I think Cao Ya has a better chance of winning; he's still very strong."
"However, the Heavenly Mountain Lord 'Mold' is one of the 108 Lords of Hell and an envoy of the God of War. His strength should not be underestimated."
“In this day and age, there is no weakling who can still hold the position of the prefect.
It sparked heated discussion among the public.
Finally, Gasleysen sighed, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Those who have survived countless challenges over millions of years to reach the position of Lord of Hell are the best of the best. With each challenge, the strong are eliminated and the stronger are promoted. This has led to a situation where there are very few Lords of Hell today, and even very few mid-level Asuras. As for low-level Asuras, there are probably none left.
Rumors of a Beirut-based palace master being on par with the Great Perfection level are not isolated cases!
This demonstrates the power and terror of the Lord of Hell and the Commander of Purgatory.
Of course, among the 108 prefecture lords, there are always some who are slightly weaker, who are considered mid-level Asuras, while the prefecture lords who are high-level Asuras are extremely strong, and as for the peak Asuras, they can be ranked among the top few.
If we're talking about beings at the Great Perfection level, there are only three to five suspected of being them in the entire hell.
Even if we include special Asuras like Beirut, who can rival the Great Perfection realm or reach the Great Perfection level in some aspect, their total number would still not exceed the number on two hands.
Don't think that intermediate and low-level Asuras are weak. In a supreme plane like Hell, they are top-tier super strong beings, a realm that countless god-level powerhouses dream of.
“Lord Mold of Tianshan Prefecture, judging from his appearance, he seems quite confident as well,” Beirut said with a squinting smile.
“After all, Cao Ya had no reputation before,” Gasleysen said, feeling that the Lord of Tianshan was likely to suffer a setback.
Only those who have actually fought Cao Ya know how powerful he is. This is something that Gaisleysen and the other Asuras of the Four Divine Beasts Clan all deeply understand.
"Hmm, if Cao Ya becomes the new Lord of Tianshan, then we'll have two Lords of Hell from the Yulan Plane," Lin Lei said with a smile, surprised himself as he spoke.
The Lord of Hell is a supreme being within Hell, yet the Magnolia Plane, a single material plane, has two beings of this kind?!
Moreover, he hasn't even factored in his own contribution.
After breaking through to the level of a high god, Linley's strength basically reached the level of an Asura.
That makes three Asuras.
Moreover, Lin Lei was certain that the Azure Flame King was definitely a powerhouse above the Asura level.
So, that makes four Asuras?!
"Hiss~~"
Lin Lei gasped, startled.
There are probably only a handful of such material planes among the infinite planes...
Lin Lei exclaimed in admiration.
This was only because he didn't know Beirut and Qinghuo's true identities; otherwise, even the usually composed Linley would have been dumbfounded and questioned his own existence.
