It was just a shame that Meng Lei rejected it this time. “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Yet you’re begging for mercy again now? It’s too late!”
“Noooo!”
In the end, Baxter the Black Dragon was burned into ashes amid several screams of pain and regret and paid a heavy price for going back on his word.
“Submit! We’re willing to submit!”

Baxter’s death wasn’t one without meaning. At the very least, it had fulfilled its role as an example of the punished—to serve as a warning to others—very well!
“Master, my name is Mervyn Babol. My true form is a giant squid!”
“Master, my name is Klaus Troff. My true form is a mutated Fire Dragon!”
“Master, my name is the Pursuer. My true form is a being created via alchemy!”
Meng Lei gave the three half-deities a hearty welcome before setting off with them in tow.
Under the three underground half-deities’ lead, the subsequent journey became even easier. Meng Lei weaved smoothly through the evil deities’ territories, one after another like a fish in the water.
In just a short half a day’s time, he had ransacked six half-deities’ dens and gained innumerable treasures, resulting in his Wealth spiking dramatically!
Of course, he also subdued another two half-deities along the way—the Black Panther Goddess Nadja Wakanda, whose true form was a Netherworld Spiritual Panther, and the Thunderbolt Queen Seisia Marie, whose true form was a Thunderbolt Naga.
For a while there, the number of half-deities under Meng Lei’s command actually reached as many as six. Together with Puhaman and Thaniel, who were a great distance away in the Imperial City, that made eight of them. With such fearsome strength, Meng Lei could practically move about with nothing to fear!
“Master, up ahead is the Dark Fairies’ capital city, the Dark Forest,” said Seisia, the Thunderbolt Goddess, as she pointed at a vast, black forest in front of them.
Various black woods and vegetation filled the pitch-black forest as though someone had painted it black.
Bugs resembling fireflies crawled all over the trees, giving off a dim, faint light, which brought a bit of illumination to the forest.
Meng Lei, who was observing the black forest, remarked in wonder, “This has to be the vastest underground space that I’ve seen ever since I arrived at the underground world!”
“It’s also the most fertile region of the underground world. The Spider Goddess’ den is right here!”
Seisia warned, “Master, you must take absolute care. The Spider Goddess isn’t easy to deal with. She’s the most ancient and most cunning half-deity of the underground world.”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then he said, “Let’s look for the Dark Mother Tree first. What I’m interested in the most right now isn’t the Spider Goddess or the Dark Fairy Empress, but the Dark Mother Tree instead.”
“Yes, Master!”
Fifteen minutes later, Meng Lei and the others arrived at a gigantic tree.
Pitch-black in color all over, the tree wasn’t very tall. The trunk was short, thick, and crooked, and it looked a little like the trees with crooked necks typically found at village entrances!
However, its crown was huge and easily covered as far as 100 kilometers in radius. Sprinkled among the luxuriant leaves were also several black vacuoles.
Each vacuole contained a little figure that was fast asleep. They looked just like miniature humans sealed in amber—these were Dark Fairies in mid-gestation.
“What an impressive Dark Mother Tree!”
Meng Lei sized up the huge, pitch-black tree, a look of delight coming over his features.
He had come to the Dark Fairies’ territory this time for two purposes—the first being the Dark Fairies’ wealth and assets, and the second being the Dark Mother Tree currently in front of him.
The Dark Fairy Empress and the Spider Goddess were secondary and weren’t that important.
A figure stood underneath the Dark Mother Tree at the moment. A blood-red crown sat atop her head, and she wore a blood-black robe. Sensual, alluring, elegant, and graceful, it was the Dark Fairy Empress herself!
Apart from her, no-one else—not even a single normal Dark Fairy—was present. They had likely heard the news and already retreated to safety in advance.
With the other half-deities in tow, Meng Lei came right up to her. With a slight smile on his face, he said, “Your Majesty, we’ve met again!”
“To think you actually dare to come all the way here!”
The Dark Fairy Empress had a frosty look on her beautiful countenance, her expression one of extreme sinisterness.
One must know that this was the Dark Fairies’ capital city, yet Meng Lei had dared to come all the way here. He showed practically no respect for the Dark Fairies!
“It’s all for your sake, Your Majesty!”
With his hands behind his back, Meng Lei said, “Your Majesty, you came all the way to my imperial palace and made so much trouble there, only to leave in such a hurry. Don’t you owe me an explanation for that?”
The Dark Fairy Empress sneered, “I’d advise you to leave at once, human. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
“Consequences? What kind of consequences can there be?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. “I’ve slain even the Dragon Island half-deities, let alone you, the Dark Fairies? Do you really think that b*tch, the Spider Goddess, can do anything about me?”
“Watch your mouth, human!”
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the Dark Fairy Empress’ beautiful countenance changed at once, and she berated him furiously.
“Never mind! I can’t be bothered to say anything more!”
Meng Lei waved dismissively. “You’ve displeased me, so you must
