Boom!
The overwhelming essence of the great emperor resonated through the heavens and earth, spreading like an ocean in all directions before gradually dissipating.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor was directly strangled into nothingness beneath this boundless and murky ephemeral energy, with no ability to resist whatsoever.
Silence!
All the experts outside the void were in utter silence, their expressions filled with horror as they stared at the spot where the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor had vanished, it was deathly quiet, with everyone swallowing their fears and regrets.
He is dead!
Did the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor just die like this?
As they looked at the floating emperor weapon of the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor, everyone felt a sharp twitch at the corners of their eyes. This was a great emperor level expert! Although he was not the top-tier among numerous great emperors, he had spent countless epochs in this Underworld, and now he had died so easily here, dying so silently.
How could the other great emperors not be shocked?
When a rabbit dies, a fox grieves. If it weren't for the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor rushing in first, it might have been them facing death.
Such a scene deeply shook every person present.
And while the many great emperors were horrified and instinctively paused, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor and others promptly entered this void realm.
"What is this aura?" Compared to the shock of other great emperors, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor, Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, and Emperor of the Netherworld, as four extremes level experts, reacted far more strongly than the Ghostly Qi Great Emperor. The moment they entered the void, they had already unleashed their terrifying abilities.
Boom!
An ancient nine-story underworld palace, towering mountains, and an immense black river suddenly appeared beside them, completely surrounding them.
These were the top treasures of the three: the Ten Kings of the Underworld Hall, Five Peaks of the Underworld, and Water of the Yellow Spring River. The moment their treasures were summoned, horrifying ephemeral energies slashed down upon them.
The sound of clashing resonated as the Ten Kings of the Underworld Hall trembled violently beside the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor, like an ancient bronze bell being struck repeatedly. The ephemeral energies striking the Ten Kings of the Underworld Hall carved numerous fine scratches into its surface.
Fortunately, the Ten Kings of the Underworld Hall was a top-grade treasure he acquired long ago, incredibly hard, and thus remained unbroken.
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor was not faring much better. The Five Peaks of the Underworld beside him erupted with deafening booms, the entire mountain shaking violently.
As for the Emperor of the Netherworld's Water of the Yellow Spring River, it was also struck by waves of stunning splashes. Fortunately, the Water of the Yellow Spring River was immensely powerful, and these ephemeral energies could not completely sever it, so by the time the force reached the Emperor of the Netherworld, it had already weakened to only one-third of its original strength.
Even so, the Emperor of the Netherworld felt tinges of pain on his skin, as if countless blades were cutting into him.
"What is this ephemeral essence... who left it behind?"
The three top underworld emperors stared ahead in shock, a storm of emotions surging within them. They could sense a pressure above them emanating from this ephemeral essence. They knew that with their current cultivation and strength, they had already reached the peak of the great emperor realm, and with their top-tier treasures, it was already difficult for any force to pose a significant threat to them.
But this ephemeral essence...
If it weren't for their top-tier treasures providing defense, allowing these ephemeral energies to strike them would likely leave them severely injured, even at their current cultivation level.
What kind of power is this? The three leaders of the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor focused their gazes on the darkness at the center, their eyes revealing excitement. Previously, they had their doubts about whether the Source of the River of the Undead truly existed; now, after experiencing such an attack, they were instantly certain that there was definitely something valuable hidden within that darkness.
