Boom! At this moment, the entire cave was engulfed in terrifying shockwaves, with rumbling sounds echoing everywhere. Countless dark auras surged, as if the apocalypse had arrived, and various ancient energies relentlessly collided, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden stared with wide, furious eyes, her expression filled with terror. Under the oppressive atmosphere resembling dark clouds, her heart contracted, flooded with endless fear.
A strong presence.
Another strong presence, one that far surpassed her own. Although she hadn't truly confronted this individual, the moment this aura descended, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden, who had long followed the Empress of the Dark Moon, was jolted awake. The horror of the aura before her had reached an unprecedented level, even evoking memories of when she walked under the command of the Dark Moon Empress.
This was undoubtedly one of the most powerful figures in the Underworld.
Who was it?
Who was this figure shrouded in this terrifying aura? The Dark Moon Nether Maiden fixed her gaze on the oppressive presence before her, as the overwhelming underworld power surged. In a daze, she seemed to recall something, but at this moment, she couldn't afford to think too much.
"Dark Moon Sacrifice!" The Dark Moon Nether Maiden roared, stretching her perfect figure. Waves of dark runes surged from her body, and as she bit her tongue, a stream of dark blood was instantly expelled, merging with the swirling black runes.
Boom! An invisible, utmost yin aura exploded to the sky, instantly merging into the Netherworld realm. The aura on the netherworld mirror surged violently, the mirror surface rippling like a disturbed lake, illuminating a pitch-black light of the Dark Moon that enveloped the Dark Moon Nether Maiden.
Boom!
This light of the Dark Moon sealed off the surrounding void like a celestial moonlit water, preventing the approaching figure from attacking.
“Haha, little girl, you think you can stop me just like that? When I roamed the Underworld back in the day, you were still in swaddling clothes.”
A chilling, grand voice reverberated through the void, and in the next moment, a vast underworld mist descended upon the enchanted mirror light.
Creak!
The mirror-like water moon trembled violently, emitting a piercing explosive sound, cracking little by little.
Moreover, a cold, sinister aura seeped in, causing the Dark Moon Nether Maiden’s body to instantly freeze with chill, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Not good, this level of power..."
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden's expression drastically changed. She used her divine ability to refine her essence blood, and combined with the terrifying defense emitted from the netherworld mirror, no equal-level strong being could harm her in a short time. Yet now, her defensive mirror shield was easily warped and deformed under the opponent's attack, with a trace of power seeping through. Just that penetrating force was enough to freeze her internal nether qi. What kind of powerful figure was this?
"Emperor of the Underworld... you are the Emperor of the Underworld."
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden seemed to recall something, instantly crying out in shock, her face filled with fear.
"Oh? Little girl, I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still those in the Underworld who remember me. Not bad."
The Emperor of the Underworld laughed heartily, and with a boom, his massive figure materialized, overshadowing the entire cave, filling the endless space around him, practically omnipresent.
"It really is the Emperor of the Underworld. This can't be true; wasn't it said that the Emperor of the Underworld had already perished in the cosmic sea? How could…"
The Dark Moon Nether Maiden’s body trembled violently. The Emperor of the Underworld, emperor of the four extremes of the underworld; although countless years had passed and the legends of the Emperor of the Underworld had faded, she, having lived through that era, understood deeply what such a powerful figure represented in ancient times.
