Upon hearing the Netherworld Emperor's words, which were full of majesty and questioning, the Heavenly Dao Avatar's originally calm and unwavering face actually furrowed slightly.
A barely perceptible hint of apprehension flashed in his deep, unfathomable eyes.
He was well aware of the Netherworld Immortal King, and he also knew the reasons for his demise clearly.
However, at this moment, faced with the Netherworld Emperor's interrogation, he hesitated, unsure whether he should tell the truth.
You must know that the terror of the person who caused the Netherworld Immortal King's demise was far beyond his imagination.
Just thinking about that person's methods and strength sent a chill down his spine.
If one were to offend that being by speaking carelessly and saying too much, then whether that so-called Heavenly Dao could continue to exist in the world would likely become an unknown.
Just as the Heavenly Dao avatar was deep in thought, the Netherworld Emperor's icy voice rang out again: "Why aren't you speaking? Could it be that you, the Heavenly Dao, secretly intervened and killed the Netherworld Immortal King?"
Seeing that the Heavenly Dao incarnation remained silent, the Netherworld Emperor snorted coldly, a sneer appearing on his face: "Hmph! It seems this Emperor was right, your Heavenly Dao is indeed treacherous!"
Immediately afterward, the aura emanating from the Netherworld Emperor erupted suddenly, an incomparably powerful pressure instantly enveloping the entire world. He stared sharply at the Heavenly Dao avatar, and said in a cold voice:
"Heavenly Dao, if you cannot give me a satisfactory and reasonable explanation today, then don't blame me for unleashing a massacre in this mortal realm! May all living beings suffer annihilation because of your mistakes!"
Although the Netherworld Emperor was not afraid of the mortal Heavenly Dao before him, he was also aware that both of them had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, and their strengths were evenly matched. Neither of them could easily defeat or kill the other.
Because of this situation, the Netherworld Emperor had no choice but to resort to such despicable means, using the innocent lives of the mortal realm as leverage to force the Heavenly Dao to give him a satisfactory answer.
In reality, the Netherworld Emperor didn't care at all whether the Netherworld Immortal King was alive or dead.
What truly enraged him was that the other party's actions were a blatant provocation against his supreme Netherworld Temple.
Furthermore, his initial arrangement for the Netherworld Immortal King to be stationed here wasn't arbitrary; he had entrusted him with an important task. But now? The Netherworld Immortal King had inexplicably perished. How could he not be furious?
Unfortunately, this anger can only be borne by the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm.
Are you really sure you want to know?
The Heavenly Dao incarnation frowned deeply, revealing a very unpleasant expression on its face.
Although he was extremely reluctant to talk about that person, he was also very clear that if he couldn't please the Netherworld Emperor today, given the emperor's personality and strength, he might really go on a killing spree and slaughter all living beings in the mortal realm.
...
at the same time!
Earth.
Great Xia!
"Immortal Emperor?"
A surprised voice came from somewhere in the Great Xia Dynasty. A tall man dressed in black robes was looking up at the endless depths of the universe. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his gaze was as deep as the sea. This man was Ye Lingtian.
At this moment, a hint of undisguised curiosity appeared in his eyes.
What could possibly be the reason that would lead a certain Celestial Emperor from the Celestial Realm to descend to the mortal realm at such a tremendous cost? It must be understood that there are numerous restrictions and rules binding the Celestial and Mortal Realms, and unless something extremely important happens, a Celestial Emperor would never easily set foot in the mortal world.
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Lingtian's figure swayed slightly, and he instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, he had traversed countless stars and arrived in the Central Heaven Star Region.
......
Zhongtian Star Region!
A thrilling standoff is unfolding.
The Netherworld Emperor's black robes fluttered in the wind, and he exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
He stood with his hands behind his back, coldly staring at the avatar of the Heavenly Dao before him. Faced with the Heavenly Dao's questioning, the Netherworld Emperor nodded calmly, indicating his acquiescence.
The Netherworld Emperor did not pay much attention to the strange expression that Heaven was displaying at this moment.
All he cared about was the question that had been lingering in his mind and the answer he would eventually receive.
He hadn't even considered whether the answer would be beyond his tolerance.
After all, with his strength and status, let alone this mere mortal realm, even in the immortal realm, who would dare to make him feel fear?
Therefore, he was fearless.
"Okay, I hope you won't regret it."
Seeing this, Heaven had no choice but to inform the Underworld Emperor.
Although Ye Lingtian is terrifying, he is just stating a fact. I don't think that person will do anything to him.
Otherwise, the mortal beings would suffer.
Just as the Heavenly Dao was about to speak!
In an instant, a ghostly figure appeared between the two without warning, like a sudden shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly pulling their thoughts back to reality from the heights of despair.
"It's...him!"
When Tiandao's gaze fell upon that figure, his expression froze instantly, then was replaced by an indescribable shock. His eyes widened, staring incredulously at the person before him, thinking to himself: How could this person appear so suddenly? And at such a crucial moment!
The Netherworld Emperor turned his gaze to the suddenly appearing figure—Ye Lingtian.
A hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.
However, behind this curiosity lies a sense of shock.
You must know how imposing his aura is. Ordinary people would feel breathless and terrified just by getting close to him. Yet this person in front of him was able to remain calm and composed under the pressure of his powerful aura. Not only that, but he also appeared directly in front of him in a blatant manner, without a scratch!
The Netherworld Emperor stared intently at Ye Lingtian, trying to detect even the slightest fluctuation of his aura. To his astonishment, no matter how hard he tried, he could not detect any aura at all.
Standing there, Ye Lingtian looked just like an ordinary mortal, without anything special about him.
But is this really possible? How could an ordinary person have the ability to reach this place, and how could they ignore his oppressive aura?
In an instant, all sorts of thoughts surged through the mind of the Netherworld Emperor, plunging him into deep contemplation and doubt.
"Are you looking for me, the Emperor?"
At this moment, Ye Lingtian smiled and looked calmly at the Netherworld Emperor, and slowly asked.
His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain endless majesty and power, echoing leisurely in the starry sky.
