Boom! At this moment, no one could describe just how terrifying the aura emanating from the Emperor of Hidden Darkness was.
A breath, like a surge of pure energy, erupted from the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, soaring into the sky and merging with the River of the Undead above the Undead Kingdom with a thunderous roar.
In the next instant, a power filled with endless death descended, instantly merging with the Emperor of Hidden Darkness's body.
"This is..." Everyone's expression changed drastically as they looked up in horror. Vaguely, they seemed to see the River of the Undead above them violently churning, with terrifying death auras swirling within it. These death auras contained the myriad paths of the underworld, rapidly flowing in and merging with the body of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness.
Boom!
Countless paths flowed and transformed into a stunning and magnificent scene. Under everyone's gaze, the aura surrounding the Emperor of Hidden Darkness was surprisingly rising at an astonishing speed.
"Hahaha!" Amidst the booming laughter, an aura powerful enough to suppress eternity erupted from the Emperor of Hidden Darkness. This aura was so terrifying that it descended like a chilling ice, rapidly freezing the surrounding void. The space around trembled violently, rising and falling like waves, continuously surging.
"This... This is..." When this power swept through, many great emperors present felt their primordial power become incredibly heavy, as if it were about to solidify, and even the operation of their energies became incredibly stiff.
"The power of dominion..."
"This is... the strength of having reached the end of the path of the great emperor..."
The Emperor of the Netherworld and the others looked horrified, one by one raising their heads in fear, gazing at the figure of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, whose aura was like a fluttering flag, their pupils filled with disbelief.
Divine Emperor! If the aura of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness before was extremely terrifying but still belonged to the realm of the great emperor, now the aura he emitted had far surpassed the great emperor realm. This was a power that transcended the peak great emperor, having already crossed into a legendary realm—the Divine Emperor!
"Divine Emperor, this is the Divine Emperor realm."
The many great emperors present screamed in terror. Some even shivered under this aura, trembling like chaff, barely able to stand.
The news of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness breaking through to the Divine Emperor was too shocking, delivering an overwhelming impact. The underworld has a long history, and aside from the legendary Underworld Deity who truly stepped into this realm, over the years, only the Underworld Dark Moon Empress had stories of having touched this realm, but those were merely rumors. Besides that, there had been no other news of such a breakthrough.
Now, the Emperor of Hidden Darkness had directly stepped into this realm, leaving everyone in shock.
Amidst the shock, the Emperor of the Netherworld suddenly narrowed his pupils. "No, it’s not the Divine Emperor. If the Divine Emperor is out, all worlds will submit. If the Emperor of Hidden Darkness has reached the Divine Emperor realm, the laws within our bodies would be under his control, and we would have to yield to him. But now, even though we are being suppressed, we can still resist. It’s a half-step Divine Emperor; it’s a half-step Divine Emperor."
The Emperor of the Netherworld, experienced and knowledgeable, quickly awoke to this realization.
"Half-step Divine Emperor?"
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan both felt a stir in their hearts, their minds shaken.
Indeed, it should only be a half-step Divine Emperor. If it were truly the Divine Emperor realm, their powers would likely be completely suppressed, forcing them to kneel down, rather than feeling merely shocked and fearful as they did now.
But that was already exceedingly terrifying. It should be noted that for all these years as the four extreme great emperors, they had all wanted to step into the half-step Divine Emperor realm, yet they had never been able to do so. Yet the Emperor of Hidden Darkness had silently achieved this. How shocking was that?
