“Using myriad rules of the Dao to nourish the River of the Undead?”
Everyone looked towards the emperor of hidden darkness, feeling his connection with the River of the Undead, their expressions changing drastically.
As great emperors, their perspectives were naturally broad. Under Qin Chen's reminder, they began to see the truth of the matter.
“Indeed...”
The emperor of hidden darkness emanated endless energy, merging countless paths with the River of the Undead. While absorbing from the river, he was also nourishing it, like a parasitic beast clinging to the River of the Undead.
“No wonder the emperor of hidden darkness wanted to attract us earlier, slaying so many great emperors and devouring their primordial power. This... is to control their Dao rules for the integration of the River of the Undead?”
“That's right. The River of the Undead contains boundless Dao power from the Underworld. Using different Dao powers will naturally resonate with the River of the Undead. If there is enough Dao power to create sufficient resonance, controlling part of the River of the Undead won't be a problem.”
The other Underworld great emperors trembled in their hearts.
They, in fact, were being used as nourishment for the emperor of hidden darkness to sustain the River of the Undead. This truth made all of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chills.
“Is this how one can control the power of the River of the Undead? Such a simple method, and yet we never thought of it before...”
“How many Underworld great emperors did the emperor of hidden darkness actually slay to obtain so many Dao rules?”
“This guy...”
Looking at the myriad Dao rules radiating from the emperor of hidden darkness, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor, and the Netherworld Emperor felt a shock in their hearts, their gazes icy.
The current emperor of hidden darkness had merged so many Dao rules, yet he only controlled a portion of the River of the Undead. If he truly wished to fully control it, it indeed was possible, as that young man from the world of the living said, to slay everyone present here.
In that moment, all Underworld great emperors felt a surge of anger and fear, glancing at the Netherworld Emperor and the three other great emperors of the four extremes.
The expressions of the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor and others fluctuated, their hearts in turmoil.
On the other side, the emperor of hidden darkness was surprised that Qin Chen could discern his methods and immediately focused his gaze, “Heh, I didn’t expect you to have such insight to see through this emperor's methods?”
It should be noted that even the Netherworld Emperor and the others had not seen it before.
Qin Chen coldly laughed, “Just luck.”
He also walked the myriad Dao path, but what he needed to control were the three thousand main paths of the Underworld, which was different from the emperor of hidden darkness who controlled any path.
This was also the primary reason he could see through the emperor of hidden darkness's methods.
“Luck? There’s no such thing as luck in this matter. No wonder the god of inverse slaughter acknowledged you.” The emperor of hidden darkness narrowed his eyes at Qin Chen, suddenly chuckling, “You are a person from the world of the living. There is actually no core conflict of interests between us. So, how about you ally with this emperor?”
The emperor of hidden darkness smiled, “You have obtained the inheritance of the god of inverse slaughter; your future achievements will certainly be extraordinary. Once we join forces, this emperor can guarantee that you will freely enter and exit the Underworld. You can become a powerhouse of the cosmic sea, and I will reign as the supreme of the Underworld. Together, we can stir the heavens and the earth, creating a world of unprecedented struggles.”
“What do you think?”
The emperor of hidden darkness stood proudly, extending the invitation to Qin Chen.
