"Emperor of the Four Extremes of the Underworld?" Qin Chen frowned.
"That's right." The emaciated figure nodded, "With your identity, you should have heard of my reputation as the Emperor of the Four Extremes of the Underworld. As the Emperor, I preside over one of the four domains of the Underworld and am one of its top giants." His posture was proud, "In those years, whenever I stomped my foot, countless beings in the Underworld had to obey my commands. As long as you inherit my mantle, you will be able to dominate a realm upon entering the Underworld. Anyone who dares to defy your orders can be directly eradicated by you. How does that sound? Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
This person had an arrogant demeanor, clearly very proud of his identity.
Qin Chen replied indifferently, "What of it? You still died here, didn’t you?"
"You..." The emaciated old man nearly jumped up from his seated state, roaring, "What do you know? If I hadn’t been schemed against back then, would I have fallen here? That old fool, Void Annihilation, is dead beyond death, yet I still have a remnant of my divine soul. Hmph, that speaks for everything."
"Since you’re so powerful, why do you need me to inherit your legacy? Over the years, countless experts have trespassed into this Abyssal Secret Realm; there must be some transcendent experts among them. Surely you can find a successor?" Qin Chen said solemnly.
How many powerful beings have visited this Land of Chaos over the years?
Not to mention, just the Demon God of Chaos, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor, and Distant Path Divine Sovereign are transcendent-level experts. If this guy really wanted to find a successor, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake?
The emaciated old man looked down from a lofty height, "Do you think anyone can inherit my legacy? My Underworld is proud throughout the cosmic sea and is one of the six realms of reincarnation within the cosmic sea, containing the law of life and death, which is one of the highest laws in the cosmic sea."
"Although there are indeed those in the cosmic sea who comprehend the law of life and death, without experiencing life and death or undergoing reincarnation, how can one truly grasp the power of death in the Underworld? It can be said that all those who have comprehended the law of life and death in this cosmic sea understand only a counterfeit law. The true source of death can only be understood and controlled within the Underworld."
"So even if I pass my inheritance to them, they will be unable to comprehend it, wasting my legacy. But you are different..." The Emperor of the Underworld said in a deep voice, "You control the source of death. Even if you do not go to the Underworld, you can still inherit my legacy. Moreover, with your background, identity, and talent, once you enter the Underworld, you will be able to deal with those who conspired against me and take revenge on my behalf."
"Sorry, I will not take revenge for you. I have no interest in avenging you, and I will not go to the Underworld."
"No, you will go." The Emperor of the Underworld smiled, "You possess the source of death. If you wish to achieve a higher position in the future, you must make a breakthrough in the path of death. And the true path of death can only be comprehended in the Underworld, so even if you do not want to take revenge for me, you will still go to the Underworld to comprehend the source of death."
"Boom!"
At that moment, the black bead suddenly erupted with terrifying primordial power. In an instant, it felt like some force was being drawn from within Qin Chen, leading him to a sense of impending breakthrough into the transcendent level.
"This..."
Qin Chen was shocked; just the power exuding from this black bead was already giving him an urge to break through. This was indeed terrifying.
The Emperor of the Underworld said, "You should have sensed the power of the source of death. If you want to step into a higher realm, you must comprehend the source of death; only then can you become stronger."
