Xiang Shaoyun had showcased his incredible talent. Not even Ming Cigeng would still dare to provoke him. Thus, it was surprising that someone would actually challenge him at this time.

One person stepped out among the crowd. It was an extremely handsome imperial nether devil. He was clad in thick armor, and thick devilish energy constantly swirled around his body. On his forehead was a dazzling rune, showcasing his extraordinary identity.

He was Ming He, a prince of the Imperial Nether Clan's royal family. He had a remarkable bloodline power and was someone who had awakened two innate abilities, granting him a high status in the clan. The surrounding Imperial Nether Clan members were greatly shocked to see his appearance.

Ming Cigeng hurriedly said, "Prince Ming He, this is someone the Nether Monarch had personally summoned. Should we put that on hold?"

"That is even more of a reason I need to personally verify his strength. Lord Cigeng, step aside. I'll take responsibility for this," said Ming He firmly.

He was filled with hostility toward Xiang Shaoyun because he could sense that this human had an even stronger bloodline than him. He had no choice but to step out and bring him down a peg or two. He was already a Devil Saint. With his higher cultivation level, he was confident he could deal with Xiang Shaoyun. His request placed Ming Cigeng in a difficult position.

"Let it be. This overlord has never feared anyone," said Xiang Shaoyun.

In truth, he also wanted to try pitting himself against a prince. He was curious as to what a prince was capable of. Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun could feel a large amount of devilish energy gathering in the rune on his forehead.

Even now, the rune was still madly absorbing the devilish energy in Xiang Shaoyun's surroundings. A clump of energy had formed within his head. Additionally, his awakened bloodline had caused him to burn with fighting spirit. Even when facing Ming He, he was still excited for a fight. He had a feeling he could really be a match for this person.

"Hear that? Lord Cigeng, please step aside," said Ming He smugly.

Ming Cigeng no longer had any excuse to stop the spar. He said, "Prince Ming He, please be lenient with him. The Nether Monarch is still waiting to meet him."

He reminded Ming He once again that this was someone the Nether Monarch wanted to meet. If something happened to him, not even Ming He would have an easy time dealing with the consequences.

"Don't worry," said Ming He as he flung his hair with a complicated look in his eyes. He beckoned at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "I have a higher cultivation level, so I won't be using too much strength. I only want to see the abilities you have awakened."

He then vanished into thin air. This was the Imperial Nether Clan's talent of invisibility. After turning invisible, he walked toward Xiang Shaoyun, trying to see if Xiang Shaoyun could detect him.

Any other person wouldn't be able to detect him. However, Xiang Shaoyun was someone with the same ability. He naturally understood the ability well. The rune on his forehead flickered. Soon, he found Ming He and launched a palm attack.

He attacked with full strength right away, holding nothing back. The profundity of darkness accompanied his attack and blanketed his surroundings in darkness, obstructing everyone's vision.

He was using the dark origin energy, an energy capable of completely sealing one's vision. Nobody could see through this darkness; not even the Imperial Nether Clan's gift of instincts could see through it. Ming He reacted speedily and dodged to the side after sensing the breeze resulting from the incoming palm.

"Interesting power, but it's nothing for me," said Ming He with a sneer. He attacked.

A powerful suction force erupted from his palm, pulling the darkness and gathering it into a dark sphere. The blanket of darkness was successfully removed. As a Saint, his control over energy was much more proficient than a Sovereign. Even Xiang Shaoyun, who had comprehended the profundity of powers, couldn't compare with him in terms of control.

The moment the darkness was removed, Xiang Shaoyun also turned invisible. He didn't know if it would work, but he was still going to try using it. His disappearance caused another uproar to break out among the Imperial Nether Clan members.

"He's capable of invisibility as well! He has awakened two abilities! He definitely has the imperial bloodline," someone exclaimed in alarm.

"Whatever his identity is, with those two abilities alone, the clan will acknowledge his status."

"Looks like Prince Ming He was only trying to force his ability out of him. How thoughtful of him."

"If this person has a third ability as well, it would be shocking."

"That can't be, right? How many years has it been since someone in our clan has awakened three abilities? Nobody since that princess has awakened three abilities."

...

After turning invisible, Xiang Shaoyun did not attack. Instead, he moved far away, trying to see if his opponent could detect him.

"Invisible Nether?" Ming He was astonished.

In the Imperial Nether Clan, the talent of invisibility was known as Invisible Nether. Ming He did not have the Nether Soul Domain ability. Thus, he was unable to immediately detect Xiang Shaoyun. However, that didn't mean that he was completely helpless against invisibility.

"You can't hide from me!" Ming He shouted as he pointed at his rune. The rune started shining, sending an indescribable energy rippling out.

Xiang Shaoyun immediately felt his rune reacting to the ripple. He hurriedly tried to suppress his rune in panic. Unfortunately, he was a step too slow as Ming He was already charging in his direction.

"Show yourself!" Ming He roared and slammed his palm at Xiang Shaoyun.

The palm attack was powerful. Even if it couldn't kill Xiang Shaoyun, it was enough to seriously injure him. Xiang Shaoyun could feel the space around him being frozen. Since he couldn't escape, he could only face the attack head on.

Yin Yang Shield!

With the energies of yin and yang, Xiang Shaoyun formed a Yin Yang Diagram before him. Ming He's attack descended on the shield, but the power behind the attack was diverted in a different direction.

However, not all the power behind the attack had been successfully diverted. Xiang Shaoyun was still sent flying with blood spewing out of his mouth. This was the attack of a Devil Saint. It was already impressive that he had partially diverted the attack. If he could fully divert the attack, it would be too terrifying.

"I'll be fair. Use all your abilities, or you won't stand a chance," said Ming He.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally didn't need the reminder. He released the Nether Soul Domain and enveloped Ming He with it.

"You really think you're that impressive? This overlord is not afraid of you," said Xiang Shaoyun. In the Nether Soul Domain, he was the supreme master. With a roar, numerous chains shot toward Ming He.
