Hearing the words of the Black Lotus Saint, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's breath quickened.
It was known that she had spent countless years and had only fused fifty percent with the Black Lotus Saint, yet now the Saint claimed that as long as they devoured the parasitic entity in front of them, the complete fusion could be achieved within a hundred years.
How could the Dark Moon Nether Maiden not feel excitement in her heart?
"Are you sure it's true?" The depths of her gaze suddenly surged with endless exhilaration.
Since cooperating with the Abyssal Clan, she had lost all other options; if she wanted to stand firm in the Underworld, she could only choose to continue cooperating with the Abyssal Clan and become their spokesperson. The Abyssal Clan found it difficult to descend due to the rejection of the cosmic sea's rules. By that time, she would be one of the most powerful figures in the entire cosmic sea, no longer needing to hide like now, sharing the Eternal Calamity Sea with the Dark Moon Nether Maiden and the Dark Star Underworld Maiden.
"Of course it’s true. The parasitic entity is extremely rare; across the entire cosmic sea, there wouldn’t be more than a handful. Our clan has searched for years in the cosmic sea and the Underworld and hasn’t found even one, yet unexpectedly, we encounter one here. This is simply heaven-sent assistance for us."
The Black Lotus Saint was trembling with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden furrowed her brow. "If the parasitic entity is truly that rare, then why has it suddenly appeared here? Could it be that someone arranged this on purpose?"
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden was always cautious, and at this moment, her heart became instantly alert.
"What are you thinking?" The Black Lotus Saint shook his head, showing no concern, and said seriously, "How rare is the parasitic entity? For our clan, its rarity is even greater than that of your Four Extremes of the Underworld. Who would intentionally offer such a treasure to you? Such beings are incredibly precious even in the eyes of the top-tier of our clan. What would they gain by presenting it to you? Your body?"
A hint of disdain crept into the Black Lotus Saint’s tone, causing the Dark Moon Nether Maiden’s expression to darken. "No matter what, I am still an emperor."
"An emperor?" The Black Lotus Saint shook his head. "I’m not intentionally belittling you; in our clan's eyes, your type of emperor is nothing. Throughout the long ages, countless emperors have been exterminated by our clan. To be comparable to our clan's eye of the law, you must at least reach the level of the Dark Moon Empress of your Underworld to barely be considered a person."
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden's expression immediately turned gloomy.
However, she did not continue to refute because she knew the Black Lotus Saint spoke the truth. In the Abyss, her existence was nothing substantial; at the very least, she needed to be at the Four Extremes Emperor level to have the qualifications to communicate with the other party.
The only reason she could cooperate with him was that her cultivated path of the Underworld could better accommodate the path of the Abyss.
"If I completely fuse with the Black Lotus Saint and become the agent of the Abyssal Clan, then I can truly stand at the top of this universe and become the one who controls the game."
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden thought silently, her gaze towards Mo Li growing increasingly fervent.
And Mo Li was the crucial figure for her to take this key step.
At this moment, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden felt restless.
Meanwhile, while the Dark Moon Nether Maiden was conversing with the Black Lotus Saint, Qin Chen and the others had already successfully passed through the undead Light Barrier and arrived at the core side of the Eternal Calamity Sea.
"What a rich aura of sin."
As soon as they entered the core area of the Eternal Calamity Sea, Qin Chen immediately sensed a wave of sin’s aura that far surpassed the outer area. This terrifying aura even faintly affected Qin Chen's emotions, at least ten times more than the outer region.
