“What are we talking about?” Qin Chen frowned at the other party, with thunder swirling around him. However, the speed of devouring the Dark Source slowed down a bit.
“Ahem, you can stop devouring first,” the emaciated figure said with a bitter smile. “Rest assured, this seat means no harm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have retracted all the death energy. In fact, everything just now was a misunderstanding. If you don’t believe me, you can continue to use the judgment divine thunder, but first, stop devouring that transcendent origin.”
Qin Chen frowned slightly, his expression hesitating for a moment. He slightly retracted his devouring, but remained extremely vigilant in his heart.
“What do you want to talk about?” Qin Chen said coldly, staring at the other party.
Seeing Qin Chen's action, the emaciated figure couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. “Young friend, everything just now was a misunderstanding. This seat is the Emperor of the Underworld, one of the four great emperors of the Underworld. I have no ill intentions towards you. If I wanted to kill you, even if you devoured that transcendent origin, it would be useless.”
“No ill intentions? But what were you just doing?” Qin Chen sneered.
“That was a misunderstanding; I didn’t even know you possessed the death path origin,” the Emperor of the Underworld hurriedly said.
Death path origin?
Qin Chen's heart moved. Could it be the death rules he controlled?
“Even if I possess the death path origin, it has nothing to do with you, right?” Qin Chen replied coldly.
However, he remained secretly vigilant.
The other party's attitude was too abnormal. At first, he was so cold towards him, but suddenly, he became so humble. Qin Chen did not believe that a person could have two such different personalities. Clearly, the other party was intentionally being humble in front of him.
But what was his purpose in doing so?
Could it be that he discovered he controlled the death path origin and wanted to seize him?
As this possibility crossed his mind, Qin Chen's expression changed slightly.
However, before this thought could linger too long, the Emperor of the Underworld seemed to know what Qin Chen was thinking and said directly, “Rest assured, this seat won’t seize your body. If I wanted to take over, I would have done so the first time without waiting until now.”
“Moreover, although this seat currently only has a remnant soul left, it is not something an ordinary person can withstand. Not to mention, those two struggling individuals outside, even at the first layer of transcendence, would be unable to bear this seat's power. If I truly wanted to seize them, I fear they would disintegrate before the possession could even succeed, along with this last remnant soul of mine.”
“As for you…” the Emperor of the Underworld sighed, “You possess the judgment divine thunder. If I don’t seize your body, that’s one thing, but once my remnant soul enters your mind, I will certainly be trapped by your judgment divine thunder, and at that time, I fear I wouldn’t even know how I died.”
“With your strength, you also can’t withstand my Thunder Power?” Qin Chen asked, puzzled.
The Emperor of the Underworld seemed to shake his head. “If it were in this external world, this seat would naturally not fear you. After all, with your current cultivation, you cannot bring out the true power of the judgment divine thunder. However, once I enter your body and lose the support of my physical strength, it becomes uncertain. The judgment divine thunder, heh, that is the top divine punishment power in this cosmic sea. Even in my peak period, I fear I wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
Qin Chen couldn’t help but be secretly astonished. He could see that the person in front of him absolutely had extraordinary cultivation, yet he claimed he couldn’t withstand his own thunder power even at his peak. Just how terrifying was his Thunder Power?
“You keep talking about judgment divine thunder; is my Thunder Power actually called judgment divine thunder? Do you know who the master of this divine thunder is?” Qin Chen asked in quick succession.
