“Stop the nonsense!”

Qin Chen frowned, placing his right hand directly on Mo Li. The myriad rules of the Underworld surged within him, and with a roar, strands of rule power erupted, instantly extracting the Water of the Yellow Springs from Mo Li's body.

A mass of Water of the Yellow Springs floated in the palm of Qin Chen’s hand, the very essence that was corrupting Mo Li's physical body, effortlessly refined and controlled by Qin Chen.

This scene caused the face of the Emperor of the Underworld, who was watching from a distance, to change dramatically.

“This Qin Chen kid has managed to grasp the fundamental rules of my Water of the Yellow Springs so quickly? Damn, this is just insane!”

The Emperor of the Underworld felt his scalp go numb. It’s important to note that when he mastered the Water of the Yellow Springs back in the day, it took him a considerable amount of time. As for his adopted son, Yan Po, he had spent countless millennia merely lingering outside. But how long had Qin Chen been here? He actually managed to condense the power of the Water of the Yellow Springs.

“Luckily, I gave up acting right away and summoned my avatar to swallow Yan Po. If I had let this kid continue to comprehend, my Water of the Yellow Springs would likely have been refined by him.”

The Emperor of the Underworld was left feeling apprehensive.

Earlier, he had wanted to pretend for a while longer, but Qin Chen's display of power in his Water of the Yellow Springs was so terrifying that he quickly abandoned the act.

Now, it seemed he had made the right call.

Feeling the Emperor of the Underworld's gaze, Qin Chen and Mo Li immediately grinned at him.

Damn it.

The Emperor of the Underworld was alarmed and hurriedly glanced at the place where Mo Li had previously intruded. Upon seeing it, his expression darkened.

There, in the spot where Mo Li had broken in, strands of essence blood and source were corroded by the Water of the Yellow Springs, failing to merge into rule power but transforming instead into bizarre black power that rapidly spread in the Water of the Yellow Springs.

In the blink of an eye, it completely integrated into the Water of the Yellow Springs, diffusing outward.

“The Power of the Abyss…”

The Emperor of the Underworld glared at Mo Li, his face filled with fury and an eagle-like intensity. “You little brat, you actually used the Power of the Abyss to pollute my Water of the Yellow Springs. You…”

The Emperor of the Underworld trembled with anger, wishing to strike Mo Li dead on the spot.

The abyss is one of the most terrifying forces in this universe; the Power of the Abyss can corrupt everything, and not even the Water of the Yellow Springs can corrode it.

“Qin Chen kid, you have such a ruthless heart, actually letting this little demon prodigy use the Power of the Abyss to corrupt my Water of the Yellow Springs…” the Emperor of the Underworld exclaimed in shock and anger, his face turning ashen as if he had lost his parents.

This was the Power of the Abyss; it could not be removed. Mo Li's actions were akin to poisoning the Water of the Yellow Springs. If he thoroughly integrated this Water of the Yellow Springs into himself, he would inevitably be tainted by this Power of the Abyss.

Though with his cultivation, he might not perish, this Power of the Abyss would lurk within him like a parasite, becoming a ticking time bomb.

However, if he didn’t absorb this Water of the Yellow Springs, he wouldn’t be able to recover his strength. Once the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor came knocking, he would be in danger as well.

Qin Chen's move had put him in a predicament with no way out.

Ruthless, truly ruthless. “I understand now; previously in the Chaotic World, you had this little demon prodigy delay time before you made your move. As a result, after this little demon prodigy came out, he didn’t act, which puzzled me. Now I realize you had him delay my time…”

The Emperor of the Underworld was so furious he nearly spat blood.
