Martial Master

The hearts of Nine Netherworld Demon Lord and the others were shaken, filled with endless horror.

In the void, a domineering and majestic figure hovered, exuding an aura that made the world tremble.

"Emperor of the Underworld!"

Although this person appeared only as a silhouette, the moment that aura emerged, accompanied by the unveiling of his face, it sent shivers down everyone's spine, their eyes reflecting endless shock.

Because they were too familiar with this aura, having yearned for it day and night; for so many years, not a day went by when they dared to forget that this was the former master of Yellow Spring Mountain, the Emperor of the Underworld.

"You... adoptive father, you..."

Yan Po Great Emperor stared in terror at the figure before him, then a flash of ferocity suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"No, you are not my adoptive father; who exactly are you? How dare you impersonate him, how bold!"

Yan Po Great Emperor's gaze flickered, and he shouted angrily, just as a pitch-black stone tablet suddenly appeared in his hand, not giving the Emperor of the Underworld a chance to speak before he fiercely launched it towards him.

"Boom!"

The pitch-black stone tablet shot up into the sky, releasing terrifying and dazzling lights that towered into the heavens. The surface of the tablet was covered with swirling dark patterns, transforming into black streams of light capable of incinerating the void as they shot violently towards the Emperor of the Underworld.

"Kill, kill him!"

Yan Po Great Emperor's heart was fierce, then he turned to Nine Netherworld Demon Lord and the others with an angry shout: "What are you all waiting for? This person is not my adoptive father but an impersonator attempting to harm Yellow Spring Mountain! Quickly, activate the formation and kill this scoundrel!"

While shouting, Yan Po Great Emperor unknowingly held a communication jade tablet that he swiftly activated, sending a message out to the space beyond Yellow Spring River.

"What? He's not the Emperor?"

Everyone, including Nine Netherworld Demon Lord, stared in shock at the Emperor of the Underworld, their faces filled with disbelief. They were all too familiar with the aura of the person before them; how could he not be the Emperor?

Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor bellowed, "Yan Po, how dare you! You see the Emperor but do not kneel, and you even dare to act!? And you others, the master has returned, yet you don't pay your respects. What are you waiting for?"

Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor soared into the air, his aura erupting as he coldly glared at Nine Netherworld Demon Lord and the others, causing them to hesitate, completely unsure whom to listen to.

Yet, the Emperor of the Underworld paid no heed to their inner thoughts. Upon seeing Yan Po Great Emperor sending a message in secret, he anxiously looked at Qin Chen, "Qin Chen kid, quickly stop that person from sending the message."

Before he finished speaking, the pitch-black stone tablet's streams of light had already appeared before the Emperor of the Underworld. He roared furiously, and a terrifying peak great emperor aura erupted from within him as he swept his hand.

With a thunderous sound, those streams of light were instantly shattered, but in that fleeting moment, a terrifying soul-piercing power rushed towards his remnant soul.

"This is... the Yan Soul Monument? That kid actually controls this underworld treasure!"

The Emperor of the Underworld's expression changed dramatically. The Yan Soul Monument was a treasure of the Underworld, one he had specifically retrieved from a secret realm for Yan Po Great Emperor back in the day. Although it was not a peak-level great emperor underworld treasure, it was still a top-tier item capable of drawing upon the divine soul power of the Underworld.

At this moment, the power of rules from the Yan Soul Monument surged towards him, causing the Emperor of the Underworld's remnant soul to stir, and he grunted, retreating a step.

The Yan Soul Monument specifically targeted divine souls, and now, with only a remnant soul left, he suffered an unexpected setback.
