Outside the Time-Space Secret Realm, a wave of blood traversed time and space, flowing rapidly, then coalescing into a middle-aged man in a magnificent black robe. His pale face bore black secret patterns, and he exuded an aura of sinister charm.
The Nine Nether Lord looked at the Time-Space Secret Realm before him, not venturing inside rashly.
As a Guardian Beast God of the Elder God Cult, entering the Time-Space Secret Realm was naturally very easy for him.
Even though this Time-Space Secret Realm currently belonged to the human race, as a Universe Lord, the human race would not obstruct his entry. After all, the Elder God Cult was the local host here, and both sides had a cooperative relationship. There were also many Elder God Cult members within the Time-Space Secret Realm, including some of the Nine Nether Lord's descendants.
However, the human race's Star Controller might be in the Time-Space Secret Realm right now, which made the Nine Nether Lord treat the situation with caution.
Furthermore, his objective this time was Qin Hao.
When seeking help from someone, one's attitude still needed to be mindful. Even though the two of them had some connection, and even a decent relationship, their statuses had already diverged.
“Even the Three Ancestral Gods treat him with caution. It seems the Star Lord, the Star Controller’s strength, truly cannot be underestimated. I hope I can find the path to breaking through to Universe Strongest from him.”
The Nine Nether Lord thought to himself, simultaneously beginning to prepare to contact his subordinates within the Time-Space Secret Realm to inform them of his arrival.
His purpose in coming this time was to meet Qin Hao and receive some guidance from him, to see if he could break through to Universe Strongest.
Although he was a Universe Lord-level powerhouse, his sea of blood covered an astonishing 12 light-years, and his strength even rivaled some Universe Strongest.
In fact, most Universe Strongest could not even kill him.
However, his status was still quite awkward.
He couldn't be killed, but he also couldn't win in a fight. Even if he continuously self-destructed his avatars, the impact he could bring to a Universe Strongest was still very limited. In a real battle, he was just a target.
“Hmm? Someone’s coming out!”
The Nine Nether Lord looked towards the Time-Space Secret Realm. After a ripple, a portal formed, and a figure appeared not far from the Nine Nether Lord.
“Greetings, Nine Nether Lord, the two sirs invite you in!” The human Undying came before the Nine Nether Lord and said respectfully.
He knew the Nine Nether Lord was a powerhouse of the Elder God Cult, at the peak among Universe Lord, comparable in strength to the Primordial Chaos City Lord back then.
However, now Primordial Chaos City Lord had already broken through to become a Universe Strongest, while the Nine Nether Lord was still a Universe Lord.
“Let’s go!”
It was clear that his arrival had already been known, and now he could enter the Time-Space Secret Realm openly.
After the Nine Nether Lord followed the human Undying into the Time-Space Secret Realm, he quickly arrived at the core tower of the secret realm.
The human Undying gestured for the Nine Nether Lord to enter the high tower, while he returned directly to his post.
Entering the high tower, the Nine Nether Lord quickly arrived at the palace on the top floor.
The two people who met his eyes were Guiyi Venerable and Qin Hao.
He was very familiar with both of them. Guiyi Venerable, a disciple of Primordial Chaos City Lord, he had seen many times, and also frequently encountered him in the Zu Shen Mystic Realm during this period.
As for Qin Hao, he had witnessed his growth in strength, from breaking through to Undying to the later battle against Xu Zhen.
“Greetings, Star Controller!” The Nine Nether Lord spoke first.
He didn’t need to greet Guiyi Venerable, but for Qin Hao, whether in terms of status or strength, he had to take him seriously.
“Nine Nether, we are old acquaintances and both Guardian Beast Gods of the Elder God Cult, so there’s no need for such formality.” Qin Hao said, a slight movement of his fingertip causing a throne to appear.
The Nine Nether Lord also didn’t stand on ceremony, directly sitting down and looking at the tea cups on the tea table, still very curious.
The tea cups and tea table were not simple; they were both treasure-grade, possessing a strange charm. Although he hadn't yet drunk the tea, the aroma permeating the surroundings had already brought him a sense of peace.
“Have some tea!” After the Nine Nether Lord sat down, the tea set quickly poured a cup of tea, which flew to the Nine Nether Lord’s eyes. Qin Hao made a gesture of invitation and said.
The Nine Nether Lord picked up the teacup and poured the tea directly into his mouth.
The tea aroma filled his mouth, and as the tea entered his throat, he felt a sense of calm. Even the urgency in his heart was relieved at this moment.
“The human race is indeed very mystical, and this tea is also very mystical,” the Nine Nether Lord couldn't help but exclaim.
“I came this time to ask the Star Controller for guidance on how to break through to Universe Strongest.” The Nine Nether Lord directly stated his purpose.
He himself was not a procrastinating person, and he knew in his heart that Qin Hao had already guessed his purpose for coming, so he didn’t hesitate at all.
Upon hearing the Nine Nether Lord’s words, Qin Hao showed no surprise.
The Nine Nether Lord had long resided in his Nine Serenity Spacetime, rarely venturing out, essentially only leaving for missions from the Elder God Cult.
Now that he had just arrived, the Nine Nether Lord came to him, making his purpose very clear. If there was anything that interested the Nine Nether Lord about him, it could only be the method to break through to Universe Strongest.
From his cultivation until now, Qin Hao could be said to be the fastest to break through to Universe Strongest. In the eyes of many foreign races, he must possess a special method to achieve this.
However, the news of his breakthrough had not yet fully spread. The Nine Nether Lord’s appearance now should also have the shadow of the Three Ancestral Gods behind it, otherwise the Nine Nether Lord wouldn’t have known so quickly that he had become a Universe Strongest.
Qin Hao didn’t pay much attention to this.
The methods of the Three Ancestral Gods were actually very simple. Although the Elder God Cult was powerful, it did not have its own Universe Strongest.
The uncensored version is being read! This novel is first published.
The Three Ancestral Gods were powerful in the Primordial Universe, capable of suppressing and resisting Universe Strongest, but they also had no way to deal with Universe Strongest.
Back then, Xu Zhen dared to directly break into the Zu Shen Mystic Realm and attack, clearly not putting the Elder God Cult in his eyes.
It was also because he knew that the Elder God Cult had no way to deal with him that he was so reckless.
However, if there was a Universe Strongest within the Elder God Cult, then it would be completely different.
Even a Universe Strongest would have to carefully consider the situation.
And the Nine Nether Lord was clearly a good choice: loyal to the Elder God Cult, powerful, and having a certain relationship with Qin Hao. If he sought guidance, there was a high probability that he would get some information. Even if a certain price had to be paid, there would be no problem.
The birth of a Universe Strongest was worth the Elder God Cult paying a certain price. Moreover, given Qin Hao’s consistent performance, this price should not be too exaggerated.
