Chapter 5657: Arrival of the Hidden Darkness 🌌

Published: January 31, 2025

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but change color.

The Solar Underworld Maiden is one of the three great underworld maidens under the command of the Underworld Dark Moon Empress. How could there be a great emperor mark of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor within her body? How could the projection of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor be enshrined in the body of the Solar Underworld Maiden?

Connecting this with the words spoken by the Emperor of the Netherworld earlier, everyone felt a shock in their hearts. Could it be that the disappearance of the Underworld Dark Moon Empress was truly related to the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor?

At this moment, everyone looked at the expression on the face of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, and it had all changed.

“Everyone, not only has the Solar Underworld Maiden conspired with this person, but my adopted son, Yan Po Great Emperor, has also long been colluding with him. The downfall of this seat back then was all due to the secret collusion between this person and Yan Po Great Emperor. Even the multiple defeats we suffered in the Underworld back then were also deliberate actions by the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor,” said the Emperor of the Netherworld with a cold smile.

Before the crowd could react, he had already revealed several images.

In the images, it was precisely scenes of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor meeting and conspiring with Yan Po Great Emperor. Yan Po Great Emperor was originally a pawn set by the Emperor of the Netherworld, and now his divine soul had been refined and devoured by the Emperor of the Netherworld. With the cultivation level of the Emperor of the Netherworld, extracting these images from Yan Po Great Emperor's mind was not difficult at all.

After the crowd saw some of the images of the two discussing, their hearts were shaken as never before.

The death of the Emperor of the Netherworld was related to the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, the disappearance of the Underworld Dark Moon Empress was related to the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, and even the war between the Underworld and the cosmic sea back then was influenced by the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor for his own interests.

Such ruthless and treacherous behavior was enough to infuriate both gods and men, marking him as a traitor to the Underworld.

In an instant, many great emperors present looked angrily at the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, their eyes almost shooting fire.

“Five Peaks Great Emperor, what else do you have to say?” The Emperor of the Netherworld's imposing demeanor was overwhelming as he stared at the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor. Under everyone's gaze, the corner of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor's eye twitched, and he spoke in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t listen to the Emperor of the Netherworld's slander. The reason the Solar Underworld Maiden bears my mark is simply because, after the disappearance of the Underworld Dark Moon Empress, she was lost about the future and thus took the initiative to seek refuge with me.”

“As for Yan Po Great Emperor, hum, that Yan Po is the adopted son of the Emperor of the Netherworld, so it’s not unusual for him to forge some evidence.”

The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor sneered, “If I truly conspired with him, how could the Yellow Spring River still exist peacefully during all these years without the Emperor of the Netherworld around? Wouldn’t the Eternal Calamity Sea have long since fallen into my hands?”

The crowd was taken aback; what the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor said did hold some truth.

The Emperor of the Netherworld narrowed his eyes, not expecting the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor to be so clever.

The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor coldly glanced at the Emperor of the Netherworld and then addressed the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan, saying, “Brother Yan, everyone, the biggest question now isn’t how the Emperor of the Netherworld fell back then, but how he managed to return alive to the Underworld?”

“It is well known that the Emperor of the Netherworld's physical body was destroyed and his divine soul dissipated back then. Even if he miraculously survived, he would likely only be a remnant soul, and it wouldn't be easy to return from the cosmic sea to the Underworld. Yet, not only did he return safely, but he also stirred up huge waves in the Dead Sea and exposed the abyssal aura in the Eternal Calamity Sea. Furthermore, with the death of the Yama Great Emperor and the framing of my Soul Yueshan by the abyssal beings, it can be said with certainty that the reason you were able to return alive is undoubtedly due to the support of the Abyssal Race.”
