At this moment, the River of the Undead in the sky trembled faintly, emanating astonishing auras, causing a great phenomenon in the Underworld.
Such a scene had never been witnessed before.
In an instant, countless ghost cultivators in the Underworld were alarmed, staring in shock at the River of the Undead overhead, their hearts filled with unease. What was happening to the River of the Undead?
This was the mother river of their Underworld; if anything were to go wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, after a moment of slight disturbance, the River of the Undead quickly calmed down. The strange movements dissipated, and the River of the Undead, which had appeared between heaven and earth, slowly vanished into the void, disappearing from sight.
However, the earlier scene was deeply etched in everyone's hearts, lingering for a long time. Seeing the shocked expressions of the crowd, the Emperor of Hidden Darkness's gaze flickered, and his expression changed drastically as he said urgently, “Not good! The River of the Undead has shown unprecedented disturbances. This is troublesome; it seems the damage to the River of the Undead's operation is more serious than we imagined.”
He hurriedly looked at the Emperor of the Netherworld: “Brother Youming, this person was brought here by you to the Underworld. Can you notify him to leave the River of the Undead quickly? He has encountered fortuitous events in the Underworld and obtained the inheritance from that emperor in the Dead Sea. It's better for him to leave the Underworld now; there’s no need to continue seeking opportunities in the River of the Undead, right?”
The Emperor of Hidden Darkness appeared anxious and worried as he looked at the Emperor of the Netherworld.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that the Emperor of Hidden Darkness was in such a hurry to ensure the Emperor of the Netherworld would notify that person from the world of the living to leave.
But... how could they?
Thinking of what the Emperor of Hidden Darkness had said earlier, many Underworld emperors’ gazes flickered, and a glint of greed quietly revealed itself in their eyes.
If what the Emperor of Hidden Darkness said was true, then that powerful being from the world of the living who had intruded into the River of the Undead must possess the inheritance of a divine emperor.
Hiss!
That was the inheritance of a divine emperor!
Thinking of this, many Underworld emperors felt their hearts burning with desire. They exchanged glances, each revealing a trace of greed, which quickly vanished and hid away.
Although the other party had obtained the inheritance of a divine emperor from the world of the living, the power between beings of such levels could, to some extent, be interconnected. For these Underworld emperors, the inheritance of a divine emperor was undoubtedly one of the most enticing treasures.
After all, the Underworld had not given birth to a new divine emperor since ancient times; even the strongest Four Extremes Emperor was merely at the peak of the late emperor stage.
If they could truly obtain the inheritance of a divine emperor, regardless of whether the other party was from the world of the living or the Underworld, it might allow them to break the shackles of emperorhood and glimpse a chance to become a divine emperor.
At that time, who would care about the Four Extremes Emperor? The Underworld might enter a brand new era.
Thinking of this, many emperors felt their hearts ablaze, wishing they could directly rush to the River of the Undead.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, the Emperor of Hidden Darkness twitched the corner of his mouth into an almost imperceptible smile, then hurriedly looked at the Emperor of the Netherworld: “Since this person brought you back to the Underworld, their relationship must be extraordinary. If you contact him to leave the Underworld, he should not refuse. Our Underworld, although it has regained some vitality after that battle years ago, has not yet returned to its peak state and cannot withstand more turmoil.”
