On Earth, Ye Chen looked at the scene before him, somewhat at a loss.

A few minutes ago, a man dressed in black robes suddenly found the Netherworld Emperor and asked him why he was here protecting the people of Earth.

Ye Chen, who was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea with the Netherworld Emperor, thought the other party was a friend and offered him a cup of freshly brewed tea.

After the ceremony of bestowing the titles of Gods and Goddesses at the Star Temple, he took the initiative to come to Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy of the Eastern Star Region to look for people, but Ancestor Ye Lingtian was not here.

There was only one Netherworld Emperor dressed in a purple-black robe. Ye Chen sensed him and found that he could not perceive the Emperor's strength.

Considering that it was not easy for him to come back, Ye Chen started chatting with the Netherworld Emperor.

Ye Wudao, the head of the Ye family, treated Ye Chen to fine wine and meat every day. Shen Wuyan, the temple master of the human race, who came with Ye Chen, was also there. Seeing so many fellow humans here, he was amazed.

He went straight to Kyoto to have a heart-to-heart talk with the elders, the Dragon Group, and the ten major sects.

But just a few minutes ago.

A man in black robes appeared in the pavilion without warning. Upon seeing him, the Netherworld Emperor pushed Ye Chen away with a palm strike. Then, just as the Netherworld Emperor was about to unleash his immortal power to deal with the man in black robes...

With a wave of his hand, the man in black robes unleashed a spear formed from dark energy that pierced through the body of the Netherworld Emperor.

"burst."

With a low shout from the man in black robes, Ye Chen clearly saw that the Netherworld Emperor, who possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor, exploded and turned into nothingness.

The man in black robes never moved an inch from beginning to end; he only waved his hand to attack.

Who exactly is this man in black robes?

Ye Chen stood up. When the Netherworld Emperor pushed him earlier, he used a clever technique and did not cause him any physical harm.

After the man in black robes finished dealing with the Netherworld Emperor, he turned to look at Ye Chen, a sinister glint flashing across his dark face.

Who are you in the Ye family?

Ye Chen said calmly, "Ye Chen is the grandson of Ye Lingtian, the patriarch of the Ye family."

"Ye Chen? Ye Lingtian?" The man in black robes murmured a few words, then shook his head. Whatever his name was, since he was surnamed Ye and was from the Great Xia, he should just be wiped out.

After finishing his thought, the man in black robes waved his hand again, and an embroidery needle condensed from dark energy appeared in front of Ye Chen.

Perhaps this guy thought that Immortal Lord Ye Chen's strength was insignificant in front of him, so he didn't use the spear he used against the Netherworld Emperor, but instead used a small embroidery needle.

Even so, Ye Chen's heart was filled with turmoil, as he couldn't fathom the secrets of that embroidery needle at all.

Upon exploration, it was as if one had entered a vast ocean of dark energy.

"Die!" the man in black robes uttered indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the embroidery needle flew towards Ye Chen. The latter quickly mobilized his immortal power, gathering it into energy walls in front of him in an attempt to resist the black-robed man's attack.

However, even the Netherworld Emperor could not withstand a single blow from the man in black robes, let alone Ye Chen, who only possessed the strength of an Immortal Lord.

Those dozen or so energy walls were completely ineffective against the embroidery needle; its speed was not affected at all.

When you pass through the energy wall, it will only leave a small hole on top, proving that these energy walls are weak and vulnerable.

Ye Chen was utterly shocked. He knew that those energy walls were formed by mobilizing all his immortal power; in other words, they were his highest level of defense at present.

Without time to think, Ye Chen tried to get up and escape, only to find that he couldn't move. He looked up again.

The man in black robes sneered at him: "If I let an ant like you escape right under my nose, then my Void Clan would have no place to exist."

"The Void Clan?" Ye Chen murmured.

He had never heard of this race before. He knew nothing about the Void Race, not even in the four major star regions of the east, west, south, and north, or in the central star region. Could they be descended from the Immortal Realm?

Just as Ye Chen was pondering this, the embroidery needle formed from dark energy arrived in front of him.

Ye Chen didn't dare to breathe. Right now, he couldn't escape, he couldn't defend himself, and attacking was out of the question.

Even the Immortal Emperors, who were several realms higher than him, had perished. What could a mere Immortal Lord like him possibly use to attack?

After seeing the embroidery needle approach Ye Chen, the man in black robes stopped looking at it and stood up, going up into the void. He looked around as if he was examining something.

"The scenery here is quite nice, but unfortunately, I don't like it. Let's ruin it."

After muttering to himself for a while, the man in black robes waved his hand, and a huge hand formed from dark energy appeared out of thin air.

Its palm covered dozens of kilometers, and as soon as it appeared, Tianhai City seemed to be plunged into darkness.

The entire city was gripped by panic. The news made no mention of a solar eclipse or torrential rain. This inexplicable dark hand was what it was all about.

Ye Wudao, the head of the Ye family, noticed the strange phenomenon outside immediately and came out to investigate. When he saw the enormous hand that blotted out the sky, he was completely stunned.

He clearly sensed that the palm was formed from energy, but how terrifying must the energy be for such a huge palm?

Garrison Commander Liu Zhengguo looked at the dark hand above his head, feeling utterly terrified. He was not afraid of ordinary attack methods.

With the help of the spiritual vein tides and spirit stones, his progress has been rapid, and he has already reached the peak of the Heavenly King Realm, with the Emperor Realm just around the corner.

Those ferocious beasts, even at their strongest, were no more than this level. But right now, this enormous hand was giving him a strong sense of suffocation, as if there was no time to do anything.

The man in black robes took in the fear on the faces of Ye Wudao, Liu Zhengguo, and most of the people, and gave a sinister smile.

The enormous dark hand suddenly accelerated, pressing down on Tianhai City below.

At that speed, in less than ten breaths, the beautiful city of Tianhai could be turned into ruins, and flat ruins at that, the kind that look like a pancake.

Bang.

The top of Tianhai Building, the tallest building in Tianhai City, has been crushed by a giant hand, and the lightning rod on top has collapsed.

The force and hardness of the giant hand caused the lightning rod, made of the strongest steel, to deform violently.

Panic continued to spread, and people were running in the streets, trying their best to survive before the end of the world arrived.

In a small corner, a woman hugged her 5-year-old son and squatted down, not daring to run around like the others.

Even if she were to die, she wanted to be with her own flesh and blood.

"Mommy, are we going to see Daddy?" the little boy's innocent voice rang out. The woman's husband had died in a car accident a year ago.
