Qin Chen's actions left all the underworld great emperors feeling both astonished and furious.
"Let's go, we must leave."
"Go find the river of stars origin!"
"As long as we obtain the source of the river of the undead, we can comprehend the power of the river of the undead and become the masters of this Underworld, even able to contend against the Emperor of Hidden Darkness."
In an instant, many of the underworld great emperors who were previously engaging in battle against the Emperor of Hidden Darkness hesitated, halting their attacks and transforming into streaks of light, rushing towards the dark area behind them.
They were competing.
They needed to seize the source of the river of the undead before Qin Chen did; only then could they expect to gain the greatest benefits from this life and death crisis.
Because the source of the river of the undead was incredibly important.
Before encountering the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, everyone might not have realized the significance of the source of the river of the undead. Its power was merely a concept for them, something they could not fully comprehend.
However, after witnessing the might of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, everyone's hearts were stirred. This was a treasure that could allow them to step into the half-step divine emperor realm.
Such a treasure could not be easily given up.
If they missed this opportunity, even if the Emperor of Hidden Darkness did not kill them all, their status among the underworld would plummet.
Although they previously had the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor backing them, competition among them required alliances, and they could not allow things to become too ugly on the surface. But once a divine emperor-level expert appeared, they would truly be reduced to mere ants.
The only way out was to seize the source of the river of the undead and become half-step divine emperor level experts themselves, thus having the opportunity to break free from being preyed upon.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the siege against the Emperor of Hidden Darkness weakened, as one by one they surged towards the dark area.
"These guys…"
Seeing many great emperors leave, rushing towards the dark area, the Emperor of the Netherworld became furious. These idiots truly were foolish; if the source of the river of the undead were that easy to absorb, it would not have remained intact in the Undead Kingdom for so many years.
"Stop!"
"Blocking the Emperor of Hidden Darkness is crucial. Those undead have not integrated with the source of the river of the undead for so many years; attempting to fuse with it is not an easy task. And that other person is from the world of the living, possessing the origin of the cosmic sea; how could he possibly integrate with the treasures of our Underworld?"
"Can’t they think for themselves?"
The Emperor of the Netherworld shouted anxiously, but no one paid him any mind. Currently, all the empty breaths were directed towards the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, and the empty breaths leading to the dark area had significantly decreased. Although they all understood that the source of the river of the undead had not been refined for so many years for a reason, no one dared to take that risk.
What if?
In an instant, seeing many great emperors leaving, the remaining ones who were still engaged with the Emperor of Hidden Darkness also became anxious, hurriedly leaping towards the dark area.
Although the empty breaths leading to the dark area were now extremely scarce, there were still occasional empty breaths passing through, and the sound of screams echoed in the void as some great emperors were torn apart, yet they remained unfazed, flying onward while continuing to condense their physical forms of the path, not stopping for a moment.
Damn it, a bunch of rabble.
The Emperor of the Netherworld was almost driven mad; none of these idiots were capable of accomplishing anything significant.
"Hmm, this human kid... could it be that he has sensed something?"
