At this moment, the Emperor of the Underworld was incredibly excited and thrilled.
In his imagination, after all these years, his Yellow Spring Mountain must have been broken into by the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, with many treasures likely gone, leaving only the Water of the Yellow Springs still intact.
But now, upon seeing it, he couldn't believe that his Yellow Spring Mountain Grand Formation was still safe and sound.
This was simply an unexpected joy.
"Hahaha, it seems this seat's teachings back then were still effective. Over the years, these little brats managed to guard the Yellow Spring Mountain even without this seat. Not bad, not bad," the Emperor of the Underworld smiled proudly.
While the Emperor of the Underworld was feeling pleased with himself, the eye of creation on Qin Chen's brow suddenly opened, transforming into an invisible gaze that stared into the distance at Yellow Spring Mountain.
Before him, Yellow Spring Mountain exuded a chilling underworld power. Faintly, Qin Chen seemed to perceive a rather powerful force deep within Yellow Spring Mountain. Besides that, he no longer felt any hidden power lurking in the surrounding void.
"The Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor actually left no projections or clones?" Qin Chen frowned slightly.
The Yellow Spring Mountain was so important; even if they left due to urgent matters, there was no need for them to leave entirely like this, right?
"Xiao Xiao, take a look and see if there are any powerful auras near Yellow Spring Mountain," Qin Chen thought, and immediately, Xiao Xiao appeared beside him.
"Qin Chen kid, why are you being so cautious in my Netherworld? The Yellow Spring Grand Formation is still intact, which indicates that my Yellow Spring Mountain hasn't been breached at all. We can just go in," the Emperor of the Underworld frowned.
"Better safe than sorry," Qin Chen replied lightly, glancing at the Emperor of the Underworld with a slight frown.
Was this Emperor of the Underworld really that foolish?
How did he become the emperor of the four extremes back then? At the level of the emperor of the four extremes, relying on luck is indeed possible to some extent, but just relying on luck definitely wouldn't work. With only luck and no strength or cunning, how could one survive in the ruthless Netherworld and still become an emperor?
Or was it that this Emperor of the Underworld...
As he pondered, Xiao Xiao had already closed her eyes. With a hum, an invisible force emanated from her body, rapidly dissipating and merging with the laws of the Dao in this world.
This fluctuation was incredibly subtle, to the point where even Qin Chen, standing beside Xiao Xiao, could not perceive it without careful observation.
"Impressive."
Qin Chen marveled at Xiao Xiao, feeling a sense of admiration. In that moment, he even had the feeling that Xiao Xiao was this Netherworld realm, and the Netherworld realm was her.
"Big brother, there is a relatively strong power within Yellow Spring Mountain, it should be... mid-stage great emperor realm. Besides that, there seems to be a special force lurking as well."
Xiao Xiao kept her eyes closed, but her eyes seemed to penetrate everything in the world, her brow slightly furrowed.
"And...," Xiao Xiao suddenly turned her head to look at another part of the sky. "Big brother, over there, it seems two extremely terrifying powers just dissipated. No, one of those powers appears to be flying over here."
Xiao Xiao hurriedly opened her eyes.
Flying over here?
Qin Chen was startled. He raised his hand and immediately sent Xiao Xiao into the Chaotic World, his figure flickering as he concealed himself.
The next moment.
Boom!
A terrifying aura surged toward them, incredibly powerful and carrying a faint imperial pressure, rapidly approaching Yellow Spring Mountain.
"My lord."
When this figure appeared, powerful auras suddenly emerged around Yellow Spring Mountain, all dark guards stationed around it bowing respectfully to this figure.
