In the void, Nie Li and the Flame Goddess swiftly flew through the Nether Realm.
Below them, the cities they passed were all deserted.
Not just the fifteen major cities of the Nether Realm, but even the wilderness was empty.
The tribes of cave dwellers, dark elves, giant-tailed humans, and stone monsters that once gathered here were all gone, as if a great war had swept through.
"All fifteen cities of the Nether Realm are empty. Master must be in trouble," Nie Li thought, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
His divine sense spread out like a storm, probing towards the location of the Nine Layers of Death in the Nether Realm.
Although the Nether Realm was enveloped by powerful rules, they couldn't stop Nie Li's divine sense.
He saw that the Nine Layers of Death were also in ruins, with the first six layers completely empty.
Above the sixth layer, an invisible barrier covered the area, with streams of black flame energy swirling and flickering on its surface.
"Black Flame energy? It seems Master hasn't been defeated yet!" Seeing the Black Flame energy, Nie Li breathed a sigh of relief and, together with the Flame Goddess, quickly flew towards the upper layers of the Nine Layers of Death.
