Thinking of this, Mo Han could only instantly dodge sideways, evading the Death Scythe’s attack, yet Mo Han’s own attack naturally vanished without a trace.

“Decent mind and reaction time.”

Seeing Mo Han evade his strike, Hades couldn't help but speak in admiration, “Not bad. You clearly understand that the power of your attack is fundamentally incapable of killing me. Had you not dodged just then, you would have completely vanished from the Dragon Ascent Continent.”

“Since you have finished your assault, it’s my turn now.”

As Lord of the Underworld Hades finished speaking, his massive frame suddenly strode forward, instantly appearing beside Mo Han. The enormous Death Scythe in the Underlord’s hand once again radiated a dim, ominous light, sweeping down towards Mo Han’s body.

This time, the Underlord’s offensive clearly unleashed his true strength; the power was far greater than his previous few attacks. While dodging would have been the wisest choice, Mo Han found himself unable to evade, because if he did, the Bai Ling and Blaze behind him would surely be in danger.

The arrival of Blaze and Bai Ling, while able to assist Mo Han to a certain extent, had also inadvertently restricted Mo Han’s freedom of movement.

Considering this, Mo Han could only let out a great roar, gritting his teeth, and fiercely poured the Dou Qi within his body into the Creation Divine Sword, swinging it with all his might toward the massive Death Scythe wielded by the Underlord.

A dull, heavy boom echoed. Under the immense impact, Mo Han’s body was violently flung backward, yet he had successfully blocked the Underlord’s assault.

However, Mo Han inwardly cursed. Though he had managed to block the Underlord’s attack with that single blow, Mo Han felt that both of his hands had been affected by the overwhelming force of the Underlord’s strike.

A sensation of tingling numbness had spread through them. For Mo Han, who had already attained God-level strength, this was absolutely inconceivable, revealing just how significant the gap between him and the Underlord truly was.

The Underlord’s offense was thwarted, and although he sent Mo Han flying, his colossal frame also came to an abrupt halt. Just as Hades was about to pursue, Blaze let out a fierce cry: “Doomsday Meteorites!”

It was a forbidden-level spell from the Fire element magic. Hades, relying on his formidable power and the inherent advantages of the Dragon race, had actually managed to cast this Fire Forbidden Spell in such a short span of time.

Hades simultaneously noticed that above his head, the sky was once again filled with countless massive meteorites, hurtling down toward him.

Facing this Fire Forbidden Spell, Hades was forced to cease his pursuit and furiously began whirling the gigantic Death Scythe.

Then, a scene unfolded that shocked both Mo Han and Blaze: the myriad powerful meteorites, upon touching the Death Scythe, were immediately repelled by the colossal energy emanating from above it. In an instant, all the meteorites descending upon Hades’s head were violently scattered in every direction by the blows of the Death Scythe.

Hades, relying solely on his own power, was confronting the might of natural magic—a feat that had reached an unbelievable level. While Mo Han had several ways to deal with these Fire Forbidden Spells, such as using a magic barrier to block or rapidly evading with Dou Qi, Mo Han conceded that he certainly did not possess this monstrous power to clash head-on like Hades.

Completely taken aback by this result, Mo Han and the others scrambled in confusion. A significant number of the meteorites scattered by Hades came hurtling back toward Mo Han and his companions.

And these meteorites, struck by the Death Scythe, showed no decrease in power or speed; if anything, they had increased somewhat. To protect the Blaze and Bai Ling behind him, Mo Han had no choice but to rely on the Creation Divine Sword in his hands, hacking away at the meteorites that threatened himself and his allies.

With a rapid series of loud pangs, all the meteorites were cleaved away by Hades’s mighty force, while Mo Han successfully deflected many that were aimed at his side.

After weathering the Fire Forbidden Spell, Hades’s form pressed in once more upon Mo Han and Blaze. This time, the Death Scythe in Hades’s hand transformed into countless sickle-shaped streaks of dark light, surging toward Mo Han and the others from all directions, enveloping Mo Han and the shielded Blaze and Bai Ling within the Scythe’s assault.

Under such a dense barrage, even Mo Han likely couldn't fully cover all three individuals simultaneously. Having no other recourse, Mo Han let out a great shout, his golden Dou Qi exploding outward from his body. Wielding the Creation Divine Sword, he swiftly parried the attacks aimed at Blaze and Bai Ling.

Facing Hades’s onslaught, Mo Han was not confident that his Dou Qi shield alone could protect all three. He had to rely on the aid of the Creation Divine Sword, supplemented by his Dou Qi, to ward off these strikes. For the attacks coming directly at him, Mo Han could only rely squarely on the Dou Qi protecting his body to absorb them.

Every beam of dark light that struck the golden Dou Qi shield caused the golden radiance above the shield to diminish slightly. Fortunately, just as the golden shield seemed on the verge of collapse, the assault of dark light concluded. Though he had successfully withstood the Underlord’s repeated attacks, Mo Han’s complexion grew even paler, and a disconcerting trace of vivid crimson began to seep from the corner of his mouth.

“Impressive. You managed to block two of my attacks. Let’s see how you handle this next one.”

Hades’s tone carried a hint of rising anger. Being thwarted twice in succession by Mo Han had evidently stirred the Underlord’s temper.

The Death Scythe in Hades’s hand once again emitted a black light several times brighter than before. It began to draw upon the dark magical energy in the air, coalescing around the Death Scythe until the entire weapon was shrouded in a bizarre blackness. Under Hades’s control, this strange black radiance slowly pressed down toward Mo Han.

Although Hades’s offensive was not fast, Mo Han could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained within this beam of black light, as if it had drained all the air surrounding it. Furthermore, Mo Han suddenly felt as though the space around him had been constrained, making it impossible for his body to move or evade smoothly.

Even if he could have dodged, Mo Han would not have done so. Bai Ling was behind him, currently weaving a Divine Incantation. No matter how powerful the Underlord’s attack, Mo Han had no room to retreat.

With a sudden movement, a stream of bright red blood violently flowed from Mo Han’s hand into the Creation Divine Sword. Stimulated by Mo Han’s blood, the Creation Divine Sword erupted with intense light once more, instantly shattering the spatial restrictions around Mo Han.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Mo Han actively charged toward Lord Hades. While facing that terrifying black light, Mo Han, relying on the aid of the Creation Divine Sword, briefly forced open the surrounding spatial constraints. Utilizing his incredible speed, he abruptly bypassed the direct path of the black light and struck toward Hades’s head.

Faced with the unleashed might of the Creation Divine Sword, even the Underlord dared not be careless. Hades’s Death Scythe suddenly accelerated, executing a bizarre one-hundred-and-eighty-degree rotation. The Death Scythe instantly repositioned itself in front of Mo Han, precisely intercepting the charge of the Creation Divine Sword.

Clang. A crisp, resonant sound followed. Mo Han’s body was knocked back again, but he had once more successfully neutralized the Underlord’s attack.

Repelled repeatedly by Mo Han, Hades felt deeply humiliated. For the first time, he let out an enraged roar. The Death Scythe swiftly swung again toward Mo Han, who was still suspended in mid-air, abandoning any concern for Bai Ling and the others.

Immediately, the space around Mo Han’s body became filled with countless streaks of black light. Within this darkness, however, intermittent flashes of intermingled gold and white light still pierced through. The Creation Divine Sword and the Death Scythe clashed, resulting in an incessant ringing of impacts.

Yet, Mo Han’s strength was ultimately inferior to Hades’s. After a period of parrying, he could no longer react in time to block a blow coming from the side. Mo Han’s entire body was struck by the dark light generated by the Death Scythe. Despite the protection of his shield, Mo Han could not suppress a mouthful of blood, and his body was involuntarily sent flying.

Seeing this, the Underlord prepared to press his advantage, but suddenly felt himself locked down by a powerful energy. If he pursued Mo Han now, he feared he wouldn’t have time to defend against whatever was coming. With this realization, Hades reluctantly abandoned the idea of hunting Mo Han down. He let out a loud roar, and waves of dim black light surged forth from his frame once more. The situation resembled when he defended against Blaze earlier, only this time, Hades’s massive body was considerably larger, meaning the scope covered by the black light was naturally much wider.

While the Underlord was occupied, a colossal black hole suddenly appeared directly above him. Countless streaks of purple lightning magic erupted wildly from within the void, densely raining down upon the magical shield Hades had erected. The power of these purple lightning strikes was many times greater than Blaze’s earlier lightning attack. An incessant crackling sound filled the entire sky.

It was at this critical juncture that Bai Ling finally completed her Divine Incantation, rescuing Mo Han from immediate danger.

Mo Han, seeing this golden opportunity, cast aside all concern for his injured body. He raised the Creation Divine Sword above his head with both hands, and streams of vibrant crimson blood rapidly flowed into the sword.

Instantly, a gigantic sword, formed from the radiant aura of the Creation Divine Sword, reappeared in Mo Han’s grip. Under Mo Han’s direction, this massive blade instantly joined forces with the incoming purple lightning magic, carrying tremendous energy as it struck Hades’s magic shield.

Simultaneously, a colossal dragon constructed entirely of flames surged toward Hades’s barrier under Blaze’s control. Blaze, too, had seized this rare window of opportunity to unleash the highest-level magic he could muster in this short time: the Flame Dragon.

These attacks struck the black magic shield almost simultaneously, and within the barrier, Hades let out a painful cry.
