Boom!
The terrifying source of the great path surged into the sky, exuding an ancient, tsunami-like aura, violently shaking in front of Qin Chen.
“Kid, this is that guy's transcendent origin, and this seat has already brought it to you. Aside from this…”
With a rumble!
An endless aura of deathly silence erupted in this world, a wave of death descended. This death aura was ancient and profound, transforming into symbols that floated between heaven and earth, presenting themselves before Qin Chen.
Each of these symbols seemed to embody the top-tier power of the Underworld, giving a strong sense of shock.
“This is the Undead Rune refined from the death aura after this person’s demise, utilizing the source of death from the Underworld. This is the true power of the Underworld, and once you grasp it, you can roam freely across the worlds.”
Qin Chen felt the symbols before him, with deathly energy continuously surging within him, subtly hinting at a desire to break through.
“Kid, whether you believe it or not, this seat truly has no ill intentions towards you.” The Old Elder sighed, “You don’t know, this seat has been here for too many years, left with only this remnant soul. If it weren't for your arrival, this seat would probably just sink into silence until one day, it completely disappeared.”
“But now that you have come, everything is different. Not only has this seat's inheritance found a successor, but maybe one day in the future, this seat may even have the chance to be revived.”
The Old Elder spoke sincerely, “Do you think this seat would still want to harm you?”
“Revival?”
“Indeed, although this seat is left with only a remnant soul now, after all, this seat is one of the emperors of the four extremes of the Underworld, master of life and death. When this seat fought against Void Annihilation back in the day, he vanished, but this seat's divine soul survived because this seat controls the source of death. With your talent, background, and fortune, coupled with that one… who knows, perhaps one day in the future, you could help this seat revive from the cosmic reincarnation of the Underworld.”
“That one… who exactly is he?”
Qin Chen’s heart stirred. When he mentioned his father, he could distinctly sense a tremor from the Emperor of the Underworld. A powerful being such as him feeling tremors?
“Cannot be said.” The Emperor of the Underworld shook his head, “It’s not that this seat does not wish to tell you, but since he is unwilling to inform you, it naturally has his reasons. Moreover, during that great destruction in ancient times, he was still alive, and his current situation may not be any better. If I say it, it would bear a consequence that might affect your future, even leading you to calamity. This seat can’t afford that.”
“Alright, this seat will give you another item to dispel your doubts about me.”
As the words fell,
Buzz! A light door suddenly opened in the void of the land of death, revealing a scene from deep within the Land of Chaos.
“This is…”
In the depths of that Land of Chaos, terrifying deathly auras surged and writhed, resembling a tsunami from an abyss, suppressing a blinding white light. This black death aura was precisely the source of death from the Emperor of the Underworld, capable of suppressing the heavens and the earth. Yet, the white light above surged with endless spatial aura, seemingly transcending all eternity. Under the pressure of this death source, although it appeared quite dim, it shone like a candle in the wind, never extinguishing.
Qin Chen’s gaze fell upon that white light, and a faint spatial aura transmitted to him. The moment he sensed this power, the origin of space within him stirred, igniting an impulse to break through.
“What a terrifying power of space!” Qin Chen showed shock on his face.
With his current cultivation, this hint of spatial aura made him feel as if he was on the verge of breaking through the transcendence realm. The Emperor of the Underworld smiled and said, “This item is the source of space left behind after Void Annihilation fell. Although that guy’s character isn't great, his spatial law is a marvel in this cosmic sea. After his fall, this heart of space was preserved for countless eons. It hasn’t been completely extinguished, and I estimate it will take an immense amount of time to erase it completely.”
