Chapter 1622 - The Beleaguered Nethery (1/2)

The Himalayas was crowned as the Roof of the World. Its highest peak, Mount Everest, thrust into the clouds and was usually hidden from naked eyes. It was not a place where ordinary people could go.

Clouds were rolling at the peak of Mount Everest. A snowstorm was blowing, and the whistling wind brought forth a chill that went deep in one’s bones. It was a harsh environment. However, a graceful figure could be seen standing there.

She was clad in a long black dress, which seemed to be made of silk. As the wind blew, it waved gently. Her black hair was waving as well, brushing against her cheeks and veiling her stunningly beautiful face.

Standing on the mountaintop, Nethery’s eyes were emotionless as she glanced around. She was at the highest peak, and that made her look like some supreme being looking down on those lesser creatures. Beside her was a white stove. It glowed with its own heat, melting the snowflakes that touched it.

Nethery turned her head slightly and glanced at the stove. She recognized it. After all, it belonged to Bu Fang—she had seen Bu Fang use it. This was the reason why she seized it, even though it was coveted by many experts.

Of course, seizing a stove was nothing to Nethery. Even though her curse power was completely suppressed, her flesh was extremely strong. The body of a half-step Heavengod was enough to crush everything in this world.

The snowstorm raged on. Snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the whole mountaintop white. However, figures could be seen looming amid the white veil. They were Gods and Immortals from different countries.

The Himalayas was the Roof of the World that separated Hua from many other countries. The White Tiger Heaven Stove was found in one of its mountains. It had attracted the attention of many Immortals and Gods, who crawled out of the black hole after the spiritual energy sealing point was broken.

Ting-a-ling!

Nethery turned and looked into the distance. Vague figures could be seen approaching through the snow in that direction. They were monks clad in red robes, with yellow kasayas draped around their shoulders and large half-moon hats on their heads. It was a very strange style of clothing.

They trudged through the snow, and some people were holding large umbrellas for them. The air was filled with the chanting of some Buddhist scriptures. Clearly, these people came from one power.

Nethery turned her head to another side, her eyes growing colder. In that direction, another group of people was observing the situation. They were dark-skinned and naked from the waist up. Their faces were colorfully painted, and their necks were adorned with gold and silver jewelry. Their aura was very strong, thrusting into the sky in columns.

There were also figures riding on huge bears and figures who had arms growing out from their backs. In addition to these strange Gods, Hua’s Immortals could be seen as well, standing in a group not far away. There was even a group of female Immortals perched on top of a distant mountain, fixing their eyes on Nethery.

None of these Gods and Immortals made a move. They were waiting for others to strike first. They all wanted to get the stove, but they did not want to be the common target for all. There was another reason that made them hesitate: the black-dressed girl was too fearsome.

She did not have magic power, but her fleshly body was extremely strong. None of them was able to determine the level of her strength.

“Amitabha. Dear benefactor, hand over the stove and leave the holy land… and you will not die,” said an old Lama in a scarlet robe and a yellow kasaya as he rested his eyes on Nethery. One of his arms was strung with many golden rings.

“Get lost,” Nethery said, her face expressionless. The wind was strong on the peak of Mount Everest, but she stood straight like a spear, unmoving.

Her powerful reply to the old Lama shocked those around him, while many strange Gods and Immortals narrowed their eyes and looked on gloatingly. Meanwhile, the Gods from India watched with cold eyes.

Four Divine Artifacts were found around the world. With a major change happening to Earth now, these artifacts definitely contained some great secrets. They thought that if they could acquire these Divine Artifacts, they might have a chance to glimpse at the ultimate Great Path. Therefore, they would not give up on getting the stove.

“Dear benefactor, you are too obstinate to be awakened. You will only find your salvation by becoming a Buddhist.” The old Lama sighed with a benevolent look on his face. The next moment, he nodded to the few Lamas around him.

The Lamas rolled up their kasayas. Looking at Nethery, they kicked the ground and soared into the sky. Spiritual energy erupted from them, turning into light beams, which were actually deadly energy beams. They interwove into a huge net, then fell to envelop Nethery.

One of Nethery’s hands rested on the stove. For her, the stove was not a good weapon because it was too heavy. She could barely lift it even with her physical strength.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a ghostly green gleam flashed in her eyes. A vague green snake emerged around her, but very quickly, a mighty force pressed down on her, which seemed to come from the depths of the universe. Nethery’s face was expressionless as she thought, ‘Sure enough, my curse power is still being suppressed…’

The suppression made her feel bad. Of course, she could break it with all her might, but she had a feeling that once she did it, she would trigger a backlash from this world. There was something unusual about this planet—she could sense it.

Besides, she had learned about the four Divine Artifacts, and she knew they were Bu Fang’s cooking utensils. That made her conclude that the planet must have something to do with Bu Fang’s secrets. It was also the reason why she struck out and seized the stove from so many experts.

The few Lamas rose into the sky, chanting, while the energy net fell to envelop Nethery. They dared not get close to her because the strength of her flesh was too terrifying. Her fists were like evils, powerful enough to blow them apart with just a light touch.

So, they planned to keep a distance between them and attack her with pure energy. They were all Earth Immortals, and the energy net jointly created by them proved to be effective in suppressing her.

Nethery furrowed her brows. The monks’ means frustrated her because she could not break the energy net with her fists. Suddenly, she stomped her feet, causing the whole mountaintop to explode, and then she threw out a punch. At this moment, her little fist became the focus of all.

Rumble!

The fist collided with the energy net. The powerful impact seemed to tear the net apart, proving that the punch was a powerful one. That shocked all the surrounding experts. Even then, these experts made their moves.
