Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

After things calmed down, the Lord of the Underworld, James, asked everyone to leave.

The guards and onlookers left one after another, and the streets soon returned to peace.

After everyone left, James waved his fingers, and a transparent barrier quietly formed around them, completely isolating the area.

All conversations within the barrier cannot be heard by the outside world.

James turned to Lu Ming and said in a more sincere tone: "Dear Sir, I apologize again for the misunderstanding that occurred earlier. May I ask your name? What can we at Netherworld City do for you?"

Lu Ming glanced at James calmly, then said, "My name is Lu Ming. As for why I came here, it was just because I happened to pass by here by accident."

"Just passing by?" Hearing this, James was stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. For him, as the Lord of Nether City, it would be unavoidable for him to feel uneasy if there was a True God-level expert who was more powerful than himself in his jurisdiction. Since Lu Ming said he was just passing by, James felt a little relieved even though he didn't completely believe it.

The two chatted casually for a few more words and then parted.

……

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, James's expression became gloomy. Catherine asked, what is the origin of this Lu Ming.

"I don't know." James shook his head. "The city lords in this area, or the True God-level masters of various forces, everyone knows each other, but this Lu Ming is the first time I meet him."

"Therefore, I concluded that he must be from another area."

Catherine frowned and said, "Other areas?"

James said helplessly: "When we were talking just now, I also wanted to test it, but Lu Ming didn't seem willing to say more. I was afraid of angering him, so I didn't dare to ask more."

"So do you think he really passed by here?" Catherine continued to ask.

James pondered for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. But from his attitude, he doesn't seem to want to cause any trouble. At least for now, we should avoid conflict with him."

Catherine nodded: "So how are you going to deal with this matter?"

James sighed: "What else can we do? We can only report it to the Temple of Death and ask the temple to send someone to investigate and confirm."

“Also, tell Brute to behave himself these days and not to cause trouble in the city. If he accidentally offends this True God-level powerhouse, he will be responsible for any problems that arise!”

Catherine nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll tell him."

……

On the other side, in Akdina's mansion, after the Lord of the Netherworld left, Lu Ming returned to the hall again.

After casually saying something to Akdina, he went into seclusion to practice.

However, due to the exposure of his strength, the news about the appearance of a second True God-level powerhouse in Nether City quickly spread among some nearby forces, attracting the attention of many powerful people.

At the same time, James reported what happened here to the Temple of Death.

Then the temple replied that they would send the person in charge of that area to Nether City for inspection within three days.

The Temple of Death is a force created by the main god of the undead to manage all major forces and all living beings.

In order to maintain the stability of this world, the temple has set up a branch in each area, and a lower-level god-level strongman serves as the temple master, who is responsible for supervising the god-level strongmen.

Ten thousand years ago, the Temple of the Dead did not have such strict supervision over the god-level powerful ones.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, one of the main gods of this world fell.

Therefore, the deterrent effect of the Temple of Death on major forces has weakened.

Some of the top forces in the tribes who possess upper gods are ready to make a move. They unite and want to overthrow the rule of the Temple of Death and replace it.

But the Temple of Death has a profound foundation!

Even if the main god has fallen, there are still eight upper-level god-level elders and more than twenty middle-level god-level powerhouses guarding the temple.

And the many methods left behind by the main god of the undead.

Later, under strong suppression, those top forces were massacred.

The entire world of the undead gods was reshuffled.

From then on, in order to consolidate its rule and prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Temple of Death began to strictly control.

Newly born god-level strongmen and god-level strongmen who ascend from the lower realms must be registered and filed.

Having said that, whether in the lower world or in the main god's world, the strong are respected.

Generally speaking, as long as the god-level strongmen do not carry out large-scale massacres in the conflicts between the major forces, the temple will generally not intervene.

Occasionally, when encountering a situation like Lu Ming's, the temple would simply verify the identity.

But Lu Ming didn't know all this.

……

Three days later, in the early morning, the sky over Nether City was covered by a thick layer of clouds, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the air.

Suddenly, the sky was torn apart by a dazzling light, and a tall and graceful woman slowly landed above the city.

She is Fiona, the master of the Temple of Death stationed in this area.

A powerful being at the level of a lower god.

Fiona's arrival brought an invisible pressure, and it seemed that even the air around her became heavy because of her presence.

She was wearing a black robe dotted with mysterious dark gold patterns, exuding a heart-pounding aura.

Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind like a dancing silver snake. The cold hair gently brushed against her fair skin, making people feel cold.

Fiona's face was stern and beautiful, flawless like a sculpture, but her eyes revealed a hint of indifference and alienation.

Her eyes sparkled with a sharp light, as dazzling as stars, making people dare not look directly at them, for fear of being swallowed up by the power contained in them.

Her existence is like a towering mountain, standing between heaven and earth, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

No matter who it is, once they stand in front of her, they will feel insignificant and cannot be compared with her.

With the appearance of Fiona, her terrifying aura belonging to the lower god level quickly spread. This aura was like a surging torrent, sweeping across the entire Nether City.

The residents in the city felt this terrible pressure almost at the same time. They were terrified and knelt on the ground, bowing their heads reverently to show their submission to this superior.

People's eyes were filled with awe and fear. They knew very well that the strength of the woman in front of them was unfathomable and they could never contend with her.

In front of Fiona, everyone can only choose to obey, otherwise they will face a catastrophe.

James, the Lord of Nether City, felt this power and his expression changed drastically. He immediately flew out of the Lord's Mansion, knelt on one knee in the air in front of everyone, and said respectfully: "Lady Fiona, why did you come here in person?"

"Do I need to explain to you what I did?" Fiona asked coldly.

James was sweating profusely and said in panic: "I dare not, but I didn't expect such a small thing to alarm you."

Fiona said coldly: "Okay, where is that guy named Lu Ming? Ask him to come out and see me."

"Yes, my lord!"

James responded respectfully. When he stood up and prepared to look for Lu Ming, a voice suddenly sounded in the void: "No need, I'm already here!"

As they were talking, Lu Ming's figure appeared in mid-air, looking at the two of them from a distance.

Seeing this, James silently stepped aside and stopped talking.

Fiona's eyes fell on Lu Ming. A cold light flashed in her eyes. Her voice was cold and majestic: "You are Lu Ming? Why don't you kneel down and bow to me?"

Lu Ming remained calm and responded calmly: "I don't have the habit of kneeling down to others."

After hearing Lu Ming's answer, Fiona's face became even gloomier. She narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered, "Really? I want to see how a mere True God-level warrior like you can dare to say such things in front of me."

Before she finished her words, Fiona directly cast a god-level magic called "Death Vine".

As she chanted the spell, a dark vortex condensed in the air, from which emerged countless vines emitting the breath of death. These vines grew rapidly and turned into huge black tentacles that swept towards Lu Ming.

Facing Fiona's attack, Lu Ming was not afraid at all. He also felt a little curious and wanted to test the strength of this lower god.

He took a deep breath, powerful magic power surged in his body, and then he cast the magic of "Undead Shield".

Circles of transparent halos suddenly appeared around Lu Ming, and these halos quickly rotated to form a solid defensive barrier.

As his realm improved, even though Lu Ming did not deliberately use the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art at this moment, the demonic energy had already deeply merged with the magic and changed imperceptibly.

So at the moment the black tentacles came into contact with the halo, sharp hissing sounds were emitted, and the death energy on the tentacles was constantly devoured and consumed by the evil energy in the halo, and finally turned into nothingness.

Fiona showed a hint of surprise when she saw this. She obviously didn't expect Lu Ming to be able to withstand her attack so easily.

She once again cast an even more powerful magic - "Death Storm".

As her hands danced, the space around her seemed to distort, and the power of death gathered into a huge whirlwind, rushing towards Lu Ming with the power to destroy everything.

Facing such a fierce attack, Lu Ming's face became solemn, but there was a determined light in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and used all his strength to mobilize the magic power in his body, while chanting a mysterious spell.

As his spell sounded, the staff in his hand began to emit a dazzling light.

Then, he swung the staff in his hand, and dark green soul chains shot out from the tip of the staff. These chains intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, heading towards Fiona's "Death Storm".

The two forces collided in mid-air, making a deafening roar.

The power of death and the soul chains tore at each other, and a suffocating energy wave filled the space.

The entire battlefield seemed to be caught in a terrible storm, and the surrounding scenery was completely destroyed.

In the end, the attacks from both sides canceled each other out. Lu Ming and Fiona each took a few steps back, and their eyes became more serious.

This brief confrontation made Fiona realize that Lu Ming was no ordinary person, and Lu Ming also had a deeper understanding of the strength of the lower gods.

The atmosphere between the two became more tense, as if a new fight would break out at the next moment.
