Regarding the destruction of the branch hall, the man known as the Emperor remained calm and composed, seemingly unperturbed by the incident.
You must understand that, to him, such a small branch hall was utterly insignificant, as tiny as a drop in the ocean.
However, even so, this branch temple ultimately belonged to his powerful Netherworld Temple.
Anyone who dares to attack a branch of the Netherworld Temple clearly doesn't take the entire Netherworld Temple seriously. Such behavior is tantamount to openly challenging the authority of the Netherworld Temple.
"Where is the Netherworld Immortal King?" The Emperor asked with piercing eyes and a calm tone.
"Your Majesty, the soul jade slip of the Netherworld Immortal King has shattered. It seems... he has perished."
The Lord of the Underworld's voice trembled slightly, and he dared not raise his head, as if afraid of angering the Emperor.
Upon learning of the attack on the branch hall, he immediately went to check the soul jade slip of the Netherworld Immortal King, only to find that it was already shattered.
Once the soul jade slip shatters, it's easy to guess that the Netherworld Immortal King will surely meet with misfortune, with little chance of survival.
"Even the Netherworld Immortal King has perished?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "Could it be that the Heavenly Dao itself intervened in this matter?"
In this mortal realm, besides the supreme and all-controlling Heavenly Dao, who else can contend with the powerful Netherworld Immortal King and bring him to his death?
At this moment, the Lord of the Netherworld cautiously inquired, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, should we send people to the mortal realm to thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter?"
"This matter is too strange; it is very likely that Heaven itself has taken action."
The Emperor said solemnly, "It seems that I must personally go to the lower realm this time."
Sending others down to the mortal realm to handle this matter is utterly pointless. The reason is simple: apart from him himself, who is not afraid of the so-called Heavenly Dao rules in the mortal realm, no one else can contend with him.
Only by personally taking charge can this matter be thoroughly investigated and brought to a complete conclusion.
Originally, it was just a branch palace in the mortal realm, and it wouldn't have received much attention or importance from the Emperor.
Even if this branch hall were to suffer the misfortune of destruction, it would be of no importance to the Emperor.
However, the fall of the Netherworld Immortal King aroused many doubts and filled the Emperor with rage.
After all, the Netherworld Immortal King was an important figure personally dispatched by him to the lower realm to guard a region, and the most crucial reason was to deal with the so-called Great Xia.
"What?!" Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Lord of the Underworld Palace was filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you actually intend to descend to the mortal realm in person?"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Underworld was overwhelmed with shock, his emotions overflowing.
Just for such a seemingly insignificant matter, the Emperor actually wants to personally travel to the mortal realm? Doesn't that seem like making a mountain out of a molehill?
Despite his thoughts, the Lord of the Underworld knew that the Emperor's authority was not to be questioned or disobeyed, so even though he had doubts, he dared not say another word.
After the Lord of the Underworld Palace respectfully withdrew, the man who was revered as the Emperor also vanished in a flash from this mysterious and solemn forbidden area.
...
at the same time!
In the mortal realm, in the vast central star field, a huge gash suddenly appeared in the once peaceful sky, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly stepped out from the crack.
The man was tall and imposing, his entire body shrouded in an extremely dense darkness, making it difficult to see his true face. One could only vaguely sense a cold yet powerful aura emanating from his body.
This person is none other than the Netherworld Emperor, who came from the Netherworld Divine Palace in the Immortal Realm!
With the appearance of the Netherworld Emperor, an overwhelming and terrifying aura swept across the entire Central Heaven Star Region like a storm.
That terrifying pressure seemed capable of crushing all living beings, causing everything in this star field to tremble.
Moreover, even the surrounding star systems were not spared, and were all affected by this aura.
In an instant, countless people living in these star systems felt this suffocating and terrifying pressure.
Some of them were as pale as paper, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, while others collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up.
Even the bolder ones, though barely able to support themselves, were filled with terror and dared not make the slightest move.
"What... what's going on here?"
Someone stammered as they asked, their voice filled with fear and confusion.
"What a terrifying aura! Who is this mysterious person? Why is he here?"
The other person's voice trembled violently, clearly indicating that he was quite frightened.
"This is terrifying! This person's strength is definitely far beyond that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. He might be a powerful figure who descended from the legendary Immortal Realm!" someone exclaimed, their eyes filled with awe.
Countless eyes simultaneously rose and gazed at the Netherworld Emperor in the void, who appeared as if a demon god had descended to earth.
From the astonishing aura emanating from the other party, they clearly sensed that this mysterious figure was no ordinary person. A question lingered in their minds: would this person suddenly unleash a massacre upon them?
Thinking of this, a deep chill ran through everyone's hearts.
