“Master… I…” The Eternal Demon King’s expression was one of terror. His body began to slowly become ethereal, the vitality of his life flowing away and dissipating.
This flow and dissipation was not due to a serious injury, nor was it the loss of blood and essence within him, and it was not even his soul disappearing.
Rather, it stemmed from the life force within his body, which was gradually flowing away.
Life deprivation! Death has arrived! Even a pinnacle heaven venerable like the Eternal Demon King cannot resist it.
Even the Lord of Abyssal Demons beside him was feeling the impact, his life force slowly dissipating, although it was not as pronounced as the Eternal Demon King because the Lord of Abyssal Demons was much stronger.
However, after staying for a little longer, he immediately felt the change within him.
“Power of death.”
A cold glint flashed in Qin Chen’s eyes.
At this moment, he finally understood what the other aura he was familiar with within the demonic source array was — it was none other than the power of the death path.
Moreover, this power of the death path was extremely pure, able to directly strip away the life force of a pinnacle heaven venerable like the Eternal Demon King, dragging him into death. This showcased its terrifying strength.
But why was there the power of the death path within this Demon Realm’s array?
Could it be that the Underworld and the Demon Realm have joined forces?
Qin Chen’s gaze darkened.
The last time he had witnessed such pure power of death was in the Nether River of the Death Canyon on the Tianwu Continent, a river that led to the endless depths of the Underworld, rumored to be the location of the Underworld itself.
However, the Nether River at that time was only at the saint master level, much weaker compared to the power of the death path before him.
The flowing power of the death path here could even strip away the life of a supreme-level expert like the Eternal Demon King, demonstrating its might.
“Boom!”
Qin Chen raised his hand, and instantly, a torrent of the death path surged from his body, enveloping the Eternal Demon King in an instant.
Unluckily, Qin Chen also had mastery over the death path.
Buzz! He saw the life force that was gradually disappearing from the Eternal Demon King’s body being pulled back in an instant, and the Eternal Demon King’s ethereal body became solid once more. He gasped heavily, a look of horror on his face.
In that fleeting moment, he even felt as if he was about to die, as if he had seen the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
“Leave first, monitor the array, and do not let anyone disturb me.”
Qin Chen said with narrowed eyes.
Although the Eternal Demon King was powerful, staying here offered no assistance, so Qin Chen directly ordered him to leave.
“Yes, Master.”
The Eternal Demon King immediately flickered and left through the entrance, returning outside the array.
“Mo Ye, does your Demon Tribe have an alliance with the Underworld?”
Qin Chen asked solemnly.
He now vaguely understood why the Eternal Demon King said that those demon kings would be reborn after their fall; with such a thick aura of death here, what about in the Dark Pool?
It must be even stronger.
It was rumored that the Underworld was an extremely mysterious realm.
Unlike the human race's heavenly realm, the Monster Race's demon realm, or the Demon Realm, the Underworld existed in a state of extreme transcendence within the universe.
No one had ever known exactly where the Underworld was.
It was not like the Demon Realm, which had a fixed geographical location.
The Underworld was everywhere, and no one knew its specific location, much like the river of time.
Moreover, there was a rumor in the universe that the souls of all powerful beings would enter the Underworld after their death, reincarnating in the six realms of reincarnation. No matter which race among the ten thousand clans, none could escape this fate.
Just as all beings from lower realms would eventually ascend to the heavenly realm, all powerful beings in this universe, upon their demise, would also enter the Underworld.
