Looking back at the empty space behind him and realizing that Qin Chen had not pursued them, the Underworld Lord could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"This person does keep his word," the master of the dark prison also visibly relaxed.
In the Abandoned Land, or rather, in the Underworld, who would dare to easily trust someone else's promise? Generally, those who believed in others' promises had long since turned to ashes. However, Qin Chen's statement of not making a move showed the Underworld Lord a level of respect.
"Master of the Dark Prison, is that kid really that strong? Even if you and I join forces, are we still not his match?" Lord of the Giant Fangs clearly found it difficult to understand the Underworld Lord's concession.
"Hmph, this person’s strength is indeed terrifying. However, it’s not that I can't resist him, but even if I can withstand him, it would be impossible to protect you under the Underworld Lord’s command. At that time, while I might survive, you would surely die," the Underworld Lord said, glancing at Lord of the Giant Fangs.
"So, the master of the dark prison is worried about my safety..." Upon hearing this, Lord of the Giant Fangs felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
At that moment, Lord of the Giant Fangs suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his mind and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"What happened?"
The Underworld Lord turned to look at Lord of the Giant Fangs.
"It's nothing." Lord of the Giant Fangs shook his head and carefully sensed his mind, realizing that his divine soul sea felt a bit empty. He muttered, "It must be that I expended too much divine soul power in the previous battle, and coupled with my serious injuries, I’m feeling a bit dizzy."
"Dizzy? Your Order Domain attack contained a divine soul attack—could it be that the divine soul was overexerted? You should focus on healing your injuries. This place is so strange; if there is a deficiency in your divine soul, you may encounter danger. We need to find others quickly and discover a way to leave the Abandoned Land."
After saying this, the Underworld Lord looked up at the endless black sandstorm ahead and immediately flew forward.
Behind him, Lord of the Giant Fangs shook his head, feeling his mind spinning increasingly, as a wave of murderous intent surged from deep within his heart. He hastily bit his tongue to expel the dizziness and murderous intent from his mind before catching up to the Underworld Lord.
Meanwhile, while the Underworld Lord and Lord of the Giant Fangs continued to delve deeper, Qin Chen did not rush in but instead comprehended the primordial essence he had obtained from the Underworld Lord and Lord of the Giant Fangs.
Boom!
A profound aura surged from Qin Chen’s body, visibly amplifying the Dao aura he emitted, far more terrifying than before, as a feeling of returning to simplicity emerged from him.
In the world, numerous paths manifested, all of which were the top-tier paths of the Underworld, now evolving into a terrifying tidal wave of Dao.
"Among the three thousand paths of the Underworld, I have now mastered one thousand five hundred thirty-seven, an increase of nearly two hundred from the one thousand three hundred fifty-six I had before."
Feeling the power of the rules of the path within him, Qin Chen’s heart was calm yet joyful.
Before heading to the Dead Sea, he had already grasped over a thousand rules of the three thousand paths. Surprisingly, after harvesting the primordial essence from the Underworld Lord and Lord of the Giant Fangs, he had replenished over a hundred more.
It seemed that slowly collecting on his own was too slow; the best way to enhance oneself in this world was to seek guidance from others, transforming what others had mastered into his own understanding, which was ten or even a hundred times simpler than searching one by one.
"However, it's strange; why can't my three thousand paths manifest in this Dead Sea Forbidden Area and resonate with the primordial paths of the Underworld?"
