"Why put up such a stubborn resistance? Don't you know it's just a futile struggle?"
Ye Lingtian looked at the Netherworld Emperor's actions with a faint disdain on his face and gently shook his head.
Just then, a loud bang rang out!
In an instant, an incomparably powerful and suffocating aura swept across the entire starry sky like a surging tidal wave. Its sheer magnitude far surpassed that of the Netherworld Emperor!
As this aura erupted, the entire mortal realm began to tremble slightly, as if it could not withstand such immense pressure and might collapse completely at any moment.
Faced with this astonishing aura, the Netherworld Emperor's originally incomparably powerful aura instantly crumbled like a candle in the wind, easily crushed and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The Netherworld Emperor himself was completely powerless against the impact of this aura and was directly suppressed to the ground.
His whole body felt as if it were being crushed by a massive mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch. He could only crawl on the ground like a lowly ant, completely unable to move.
"How...how is this possible?"
The Netherworld Emperor struggled to raise his head, his face filled with horror as he stared at Ye Lingtian in disbelief. His eyes widened, his heart brimming with fear and shock.
He simply couldn't understand why Ye Lingtian, who seemed so ordinary, possessed such terrifying strength.
The mere aura emanating from him was enough to render him, a peak Immortal Emperor, completely powerless to resist, unable to even twitch a finger!
The Netherworld Emperor's heart was in turmoil: Just who was this person? What kind of terrifying being was he? Why did he suddenly appear in this small mortal realm?
A series of questions flooded his mind, but he had no time to think about them at the moment, because he had already exhausted all his strength just to resist Ye Lingtian's terrifying aura.
"Now do you realize the difference between us?" With these words, Ye Lingtian strolled leisurely toward the Netherworld Emperor.
Each step seemed to tread on the already shattered heartstrings of the Netherworld Emperor.
As he approached, Ye Lingtian's cold and indifferent face wore a faint smile. He stared at the Netherworld Emperor in silence, but the pressure he exuded was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on an egg.
At this moment, the Netherworld Emperor's face was twisted beyond recognition by extreme anger and fear, making him look exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
He stared wide-eyed at the man before him, who seemed like a demon descended to earth, and demanded in a hoarse voice, "Who...who are you?"
You must know, he is the Emperor of the Netherworld God Palace! Not only that, he is also a super strong person standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, possessing the cultivation of a peak Immortal Emperor!
He has always looked down on all living beings and controlled the fate of others.
But what about now?
How could he accept being driven to such a desperate situation by some guy who appeared out of nowhere? How could he possibly accept such a cruel reality?
However, no matter how unwilling he was, the facts were undeniable—the gap in strength between him and Ye Lingtian was like an insurmountable chasm.
One is high in the heavens, the other is deep in the netherworld.
This immense sense of loss filled him with despair, making it difficult for him to even muster the thought of resistance.
"Ten thousand years ago, was it you who ordered the invasion of the Great Xia?"
Ye Lingtian asked in a cold voice!
"Great Xia?"
"What Great Xia?"
Upon hearing Ye Lingtian's words, the Netherworld Emperor seemed to freeze instantly, standing there dumbfounded, completely losing the ability to think and react.
However, just a moment later, the Netherworld Emperor's previously chaotic and confused thoughts quickly returned like a tide. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally understood what the "Great Xia" that Ye Lingtian mentioned meant.
"You actually went so far as to destroy my Netherworld Temple's branch and the Netherworld Immortal King for that insignificant and weak human kingdom?"
The Netherworld Emperor's voice trembled slightly involuntarily, and an indescribable sense of horror welled up from the depths of his heart.
He simply couldn't imagine what kind of powerful force or mysterious background was hidden behind that seemingly small and fragile human kingdom, so much so that it could attract an extremely terrifying being like Ye Lingtian to lend a helping hand.
It was precisely for this reason that the Netherworld Emperor suddenly realized—no wonder even the Void Clan, known for its mystery and unfathomable strength, was wary of this human kingdom.
Even though the human kingdom has now fallen to its lowest point, the Void race has never had the thought of easily annihilating it.
"Tell me! Who is behind you, and why are they targeting Great Xia?" Ye Lingtian stared coldly at the Netherworld Emperor, asking in a chilling tone.
In truth, he had already suspected it: the reason the Netherworld Emperor attacked the Great Xia was probably because he was acting under orders, rather than out of his own volition. Otherwise, judging from the Netherworld Emperor's reaction just now, it simply didn't make sense.
"hehe……"
The Underworld Emperor let out a bitter laugh.
"Looks like I'm going to disappoint you. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
He knew that whether he spoke or not, he would ultimately face death.
If he tells the truth, the person behind him will definitely not let him go, and even his Netherworld Temple will be destroyed.
Therefore, even when facing this incredibly terrifying person, he still dared not easily reveal who was behind him.
In his view, Ye Lingtian was strong, even terrifyingly strong!
However, he did not believe that Ye Lingtian would be a match for the Void Clan.
"You think that if you don't tell me, I won't find out?"
Ye Lingtian sneered.
You've cultivated to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, how could you be so naive?
What do you want to do?
Upon hearing Ye Lingtian's words, the Netherworld Emperor's face showed a hint of apprehension, as if he knew what Ye Lingtian was about to do.
"You've cultivated to the Immortal Emperor realm, so you must be quite intelligent, right?"
"Tell me the truth, and you might feel better. Do I really have to do it myself?"
It's actually quite simple to know everything in a person's mind; all you need to do is search their soul.
With Ye Lingtian's strength, it would be too easy for him to search a person's soul. However, this method is indeed a bit cruel, so Ye Lingtian doesn't want to use this method unless absolutely necessary.
However, if the Underworld Emperor doesn't cooperate, then he can't be blamed.
"You...you..."
Upon seeing Ye Lingtian approaching him, the Netherworld Emperor immediately panicked.
He knew what kind of situation he would face if he didn't speak up.
"Wait...wait, I'll say it."
"It's...it's the Void Clan!"
Faced with Ye Lingtian's pressure, the Netherworld Emperor's inner defenses were finally broken.
