Just as Xu Nian was teleporting with Chen Qingyu.

In a mountain range of the shattered Hell Space, more than a dozen people were besieging a God-level giant ape.

This giant ape was not only massive, covered with black fur, but also had a pair of enormous wings.

Its eyes, a terrifying blood-red color, emitted a frightening magical power like a blood moon.

"Boom!"

The giant ape smashed down with its huge hand, killing three Divine-level experts instantly.

These three Divine-level experts were all Mid-stage Divine-level, each of considerable strength.

Yet, against the giant ape, they had no defense whatsoever.

Seeing this scene from afar, many Divine-level experts’ expressions changed drastically.

This giant ape is formidable, worthy of a God-level Hell Demon Ape.

And their task this time was actually to slay this Hell Demon Ape.

It should be noted that although this Hell Demon Ape is only at the Early Level of God cultivation, its strength rivals a typical Middle Stage of God-level super expert.

Moreover, it possessed the Vajra Undying Body.

No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t break through the giant ape’s defense.

Originally, they were a team of more than twenty, now only eleven or twelve remained.

This task was simply impossible for them to complete.

However, among the eleven or twelve, a young man with an enigmatic appearance stood with his hands behind his back.

With a jade-like face and a tall figure, his eyes especially gave a sense of looking down upon the world.

Since earlier until now, this person had not acted.

Yet, the surrounding Divine-level experts dared not utter a word of complaint.

Finally, the young man appeared slightly impatient, looking at the giant ape ahead, he drew out a sword directly.

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying Great Tao True Intent surged from the young man.

The giant ape seemed to sense the threat from the young man, roared, and charged fiercely at him.

"Courting death!"

The young man sneered, slashing down with the divine sword in his hand.

The giant ape, which feared no attack, was actually beheaded in one strike.

Its massive head rolled away, the surrounding fell silent.

The Divine-level experts looked at the young man with eyes full of fear.

The young man paid no mind to their astonished gazes, with a gesture, he absorbed the giant ape’s godhood.

Then left the place disdainfully.

"Fifth-level? Peak of Divine level?"

After the young man walked away, a Divine-level expert among the crowd gasped in realization.

Then they all sighed and shook their heads.

This task was a complete failure; however, they managed to save their lives as a result.

But encountering such a terrifying young man was simply unfathomable to them.

Meanwhile, over a remote lake.

A young man was similarly in a fierce battle with a Peak of Divine level Asura.

The young man was ruthless, forcing the Asura to retreat step by step.

Divine-level experts who intended to intervene all chose to retreat.

Finally, the young man unleashed a terrifying Thunder Attribute Gun Light, slaying the Asura under the gun.

If Xu Nian was here, he would recognize that this person was Tan Long of Futu Mountain.

Elsewhere, in a dense forest.

A woman unleashed a powerful Gold Attribute True Intent, slaying a Peak of Divine level Dhruva Ancient Tree Demon.

It could be said that all three were exceptional beings.

Similar battles were happening everywhere in the shattered world of hell.

Of course, many strong ones were slain by some Hell Beasts, or ran into powerful mysterious divine prohibitions, getting wiped out by the terrifying Ancient Divine Prohibition.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian and Chen Qingyu appeared on a mountain peak.

This mountain peak was not far from the lake where Xu Nian and his group were before.

"Finally, we’re out." Xu Nian felt a surge of joy upon seeing the outside world.

Chen Qingyu was also delighted.

"What do you plan to do next, continue the task?" Chen Qingyu asked, looking at Xu Nian.

"Yes, I must complete the mission, I have to kill the Red Blood Sky Blue Python." Xu Nian replied resolutely.

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed in Chen Qingyu’s eyes.

"You don’t need to come with me, your cultivation has greatly diminished, it’s best to leave this place, I can complete the task alone." Xu Nian, seeming to understand Chen Qingyu’s thoughts, immediately said.

Now that Chen Qingyu’s cultivation had dropped to the Early Stage Divine level.

Although her Divine Soul Power had recovered somewhat, this loss of origin divine soul power was not something that could be replenished in a short period.

"Can you really do it alone? If not, don’t push yourself too hard." Chen Qingyu bit her red lips and said.

"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu prepared to activate her mark to leave the Hell Fragment Space.

Anyone participating in the assessment can choose to abandon the task and leave by activating a divine seal.

But once gone, it means the assessment is a complete failure.

"Xu Fenn, may I ask you something?" At this moment, Chen Qingyu suddenly made up her mind to ask.

"What is it?" Xu Nian’s face turned a bit strange, looking at Chen Qingyu, he felt that what she was about to say might make things awkward for him.

"Would you be willing to become my Taoist couple?" After saying that, Chen Qingyu blushed deeply, lowering her head.

Clearly, uttering those words took her great effort.

Xu Nian could only smile wryly.

The inevitable has come, but Xu Nian harbored no romantic feelings for Chen Qingyu.

"Miss Chen, I fear you will be disappointed, I am not truly from the Underworld, nor will I stay long, I plan to leave once I achieve my goal, and I might ascend to the Divine World, so..." Xu Nian thought and said.

Hearing this, Chen Qingyu’s brows instantly furrowed.

Ascend to the Divine World?

Underworld people cannot ascend to the Divine World, unless by special means.

But doing so is almost impossible for her.

"Alright, I understand, let’s meet again if fate allows." Chen Qingyu said, clearly disappointed.

She now understood Xu Nian’s stance.

As for asking Xu Nian to stay for her, she lacked the confidence.

"Miss Chen, my real name is Xu Nian." Just as Chen Qingyu was about to activate the divine seal to leave, Xu Nian thought to speak.

"Xu Nian?" Hearing this name, Chen Qingyu suddenly smiled.

Soon, her graceful figure vanished in place.

Watching Chen Qingyu’s departing figure, Xu Nian too felt a mix of emotions.

He and Chen Qingyu belonged to two different worlds, unlikely to intersect.

He then shook his head, cleared the cluttered thoughts, and swiftly headed toward the Red Blood Sky Blue Python. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Next, he needed to slay this Red Blood Sky Blue Python as soon as possible.
