At this moment, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's cold gaze fixed upon the three of them. The instant Qin Chen and the others entered the Light Barrier, she locked onto them tightly, like a hunting eagle watching its prey from the sky, fully focused and ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing the vigilance in the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's expression, Jade Tiger Rakshasa was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the Empress, what is this...?"
"Pay attention to the movements of these three. If they show any signs of abnormality, be ready to capture them at any time," the Dark Moon Nether Maiden coldly transmitted.
Jade Tiger Rakshasa's face suddenly revealed shock. "My lady, do you suspect them?"
"Not suspicion, but caution," the Dark Moon Nether Maiden replied coldly. "The Undying Emperor Supreme was once the leader of the guards under the Empress of the Dark Moon, and his relationship with her is extraordinary. Back then, he even risked his life to protect her. How could such a person easily abandon the Empress of the Dark Moon to come and seek refuge with me?"
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden sneered, "Now, the three great underworld maidens each hold a portion of the Eternal Calamity Sea. Many are eyeing the treasures left behind by the Empress of the Dark Moon. Not only are there those great emperors from the outside world, even the two fellows, the Sun and Dark Star, are likely watching my territory. Naturally, we must be extremely cautious."
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that the three of them have problems, right?" Jade Tiger Rakshasa questioned.
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden retorted with a cold smile, "Of course, I'm not saying they definitely have problems. But the Undying Emperor Supreme's actions are suddenly so strange, the probability of an issue is at least not low. It doesn't hurt to be cautious."
Jade Tiger Rakshasa realized, "Yes, this subordinate has been educated."
At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had completely entered the Light Barrier.
Boom!
In an instant, Qin Chen felt an invisible force of heaven and earth enveloping him, revealing all the power of rules within his body.
It was the Power of the River of the Undead.
The River of the Undead is the mother river of the Underworld, containing the highest level of power in the Underworld. Normally, ghost cultivators would be unable to resist the surveillance of the River of the Undead, unable to conceal any aura before it.
But who is Qin Chen?
"Way to Deceive Heaven!"
At the moment the Light Barrier enveloped him, Qin Chen immediately activated the Underworld aura within his body while completely hiding and retreating all other powers, condensing them into a point and burying them deep within his essence. At the same time, due to the previous help from Xiaoxiao, when the Power of the River of the Undead swept past Qin Chen, it could not discover the path of the living hidden deep within him. It only revealed the Underworld path of some forbidden zones belonging to the master of the Dead Sea.
Boom! In an instant, terrifying auras erupted from Qin Chen's body. These auras transformed into shadows of the great dao, soaring into the sky and creating shocking and terrifying phenomena in the void around them.
"What? This is...?"
The commotion instantly attracted the attention of the others present, all of them staring in shock, mouths agape. At this moment, the great dao aura emanating from Qin Chen was incomparably terrifying. Layers upon layers of the Power of the Dao emerged from his body, totaling more than ten, each being the highest level of the Power of the Dao. When these powers appeared together, the void rumbled and trembled violently, extremely frightening.
"Who exactly is this kid? How can he cultivate so many top-tier paths?"
"This kind of Heavenly Prodigy is willing to be offered to the Dark Moon Empress? What a pity!"
"What do you mean by that?" Confusion spread among the crowd.
Those who were brought to the Dark Moon Nether Maiden were all outstanding figures in the surrounding area of the Underworld, among the top Heavenly Prodigies of the Underworld. Yet upon seeing the terrifying aura emanating from Qin Chen, they were all dumbfounded. They cultivated the highest level of paths in the Underworld, but at most, they could cultivate one or two, and maybe three or four at the limit. How could anyone cultivate more than ten paths at once, all of which were top-tier?
