Underworld.
Void, dead silence, desolation, filled with a cold, chilling atmosphere...
When one walks in the Underworld, the first sensation is the coldness, the dullness, and the absence of sunlight.
This is the feeling of the Underworld.
If the sky of the living realm is vibrant, where one can feel endless hope and a bright future, then the sky of the Underworld is lifeless, filled with despair, and completely devoid of a future; it is a place destined for death.
"Is this the world of the Underworld?"
Qin Chen murmured.
Before him was a dim landscape; although there were mountains, skies, and earth, it felt like a dead end, giving an overwhelmingly oppressive feeling. Ordinary people could not survive in such a place, somewhat resembling the Dark Universe in the Primordial Universe.
Yes.
It is the Dark Universe.
The climate of the Underworld is somewhat similar to the Dark Universe in the Primordial Universe, with storms and chill everywhere, but it is even more perilous than the Dark Universe.
Here, it remains eternally dim, yet there are aspects that surprise Qin Chen.
That is the law.
Boom!
A series of laws surrounded him and entered Qin Chen's body. When he was in the Tianwu Continent, he had comprehended the law of death. Later, in the Death Canyon and the passage to the Demon Realm with the Undying Emperor Supreme, he comprehended the law of death again. Coupled with the partial primal inheritance from the Emperor of the Underworld, the law of death has become one of the extremely powerful laws within him.
It can be said to be one of the primary powers Qin Chen cultivates. This power advanced extremely slowly while he was in the cosmic sea, but at this moment, upon entering the Underworld, he didn’t need any special efforts to cultivate; the deathly aura in the world naturally fused into his body, augmenting his strength.
This caused his somewhat stagnant primordial power to show a noticeable increase.
"It seems that entering the Underworld has its benefits. I have already reached an extreme in my rules while in the cosmic sea; now in the Underworld, my cultivation might see significant improvement."
Qin Chen recalled what the Ancient Emperor said about the fusion of yin and yang.
He slowly merged the deathly aura into his body, and as the deathly aura integrated with him, Qin Chen could distinctly feel the changes in his primordial essence.
It was a sense of completion.
Qin Chen suddenly looked up at the sky of the Underworld.
Perhaps when the Underworld was established during the ancient cosmic sea, it was one with the cosmic sea, only later separated for some unknown reason.
However, Qin Chen, at this moment, had no mood to clarify the journey of the Underworld. He soared upward, directly seeking a direction and flying off into the distance.
What met his eyes was a desolate land, with mud pits, resembling swamps, that seemed endless.
As Qin Chen flew, his spiritual sense expanded.
He thought he would quickly find someone, but to his confusion, he flew for an entire incense stick's worth of time without seeing a single soul.
It was as if there were no living beings here at all.
"Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, do you recognize this place?"
Qin Chen took out the Skeleton Crystal and directly asked. The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor glanced around and smiled bitterly, saying, "Young Master Chen, the Underworld is extremely vast, with regions that are incredibly diverse. Some places are quite similar; there are dozens of famous swamps in the Underworld alone. Based on this current landscape, it's really challenging for this subordinate to tell you exactly where we are..."
Before the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor could finish, Qin Chen put the Skeleton Crystal away.
What an unreliable fellow.
Next, Qin Chen continued to fly. After about half an hour, an ancient village suddenly appeared ahead.
"Hmm? A village."
Qin Chen’s heart filled with joy, and his figure swayed as he landed directly in front of the village.
This was an extremely desolate place, with dilapidated surroundings, and even gusts of hurricane-like winds swirling around. However, in the midst of this wasteland, a village stood.
