"Central Ghost Emperor?"
"Could you be the lord of the underworld?"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, then spoke with a questioning tone, his voice filled with disbelief.
As an unparalleled powerhouse at the Heavenly Emperor level, he was well aware of how difficult it was to reach that level. Even he himself had gone through countless hardships and unparalleled opportunities to finally reach that realm.
Originally, I thought it was already remarkable that the Underworld had a Great Emperor who was expected to reach the Heavenly Emperor realm, but I never expected that the Underworld would actually have a Heavenly Emperor-level combat power!
"no"
The Reincarnation Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Demon Emperor and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the many Supreme Emperors of the Heavenly Demon God Realm, and some ancient beings who were secretly observing the battle from the Heavenly Demon God Realm changed slightly.
A being at the Heavenly Emperor level is not even the ruler of the Underworld. Since the great war in the Immortal Ancient Era, the Three Thousand Dao Domains have been unable to accommodate true immortals. The Heavenly Emperor is the end of the world.
Even among the longevity families and immortal lineages, not many have a Heavenly Emperor-level figure in charge!
Besides these, only the lords of the seven forbidden zones and some ancient beings who have lived for countless years possess combat power comparable to the Heavenly Emperor.
Now, such a Heavenly Emperor-level being actually says that he is not the Lord of the Underworld. Could it be that the legend of the Heavenly Emperor of Benevolence and Sagehood in the Underworld is true?
In other words, the underworld has at least two warriors who have reached the level of the Heavenly Emperor.
Add to that a great emperor with the potential to become a celestial emperor, and wait another million years, wouldn't that mean having the combat power of three celestial emperors?
"hiss"
"Fortunately, we chose the safer path instead of directly attacking the Underworld. At least a force with two Heavenly Emperor-level warriors is definitely a resurrected ancient lineage in this era."
"Perhaps the Underworld is an ancient lineage from before the Immortal Ancient Era that has been revived under a different name. Otherwise, how could it possess items from the Ancestor Era and the Warring States Era?"
"I've got it now. What an insidious force! Perhaps this Heavenly Emperor of the Underworld has been secretly observing our every move. If we had even the slightest thought of heading to the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain, we might have been eliminated on the spot."
"After hearing what you said, fellow Daoist, I suddenly feel there's quite a bit of truth to it. What a close call!"
"This underworld is truly treacherous. Perhaps their auction is just bait to lure us into making a move, and then they will seize our Dao Fruits with swift and decisive action."
"Yes, we must resolutely resist the underworld's auctions and the expansion of its power."
"I've heard that a subordinate force under the Underworld called the Heaven and Earth Commerce Guild is expanding into other Dao Domains. It seems we need to take some countermeasures. The resurgence of such a behemoth will surely affect the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of our nine Upper Domains."
If a force with at least two Heavenly Emperor-level combatants were to fully recover, it would surely become an immortal lineage.
Since the Immortal Ancient Era, the status of the Longevity Families and the Immortal Lineages in the Three Thousand Dao Domains has remained unchanged, and the resources of the Nine Upper Domains have always been allocated appropriately.
Now that things have developed to this point, resources are becoming increasingly scarce. The resources of the three thousand Dao Domains are not even enough for the major powers to share. Suddenly, another contender is emerging to compete for the pie, and no one is happy about that.
Although no one knows what the purpose of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce is, everyone knows that it must have grand ambitions, and it is certainly right to curb its development.
......
"Since you have already reached the Heavenly Emperor level, then I will grant you this honor."
"This fellow Daoist may take him away."
The Heavenly Demon Emperor, his body hunched over, chuckled.
Faced with such an unknown Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Demon Emperor felt somewhat apprehensive. The main reason was that the emperor who called himself the Central Ghost Emperor actually gave him a sense of pressure.
He really doesn't want to fight against such a being right now.
If the Heavenly Emperor War breaks out, not only will the Boundless Void be destroyed, but the Heavenly Demon God Realm might also be largely sunk.
Although the Heavenly Demon Emperor did not have deep feelings for the Heavenly Demon God Realm, his Dao was imprinted on the origin of the Heavenly Demon God Realm. If the Heavenly Demon God Realm were to be sunk, it would have a great impact on his strength.
"If you can withstand one of my palm strikes and survive, I will naturally lead my Netherworld experts away."
"You used your strength to bully the weak, so I'll return the favor."
The Emperor of Reincarnation was shrouded in endless divine radiance, obscuring his face and expression. However, when he uttered these words, he exuded an aura of overwhelming power and unparalleled dominance.
"Do you really think you've got me cornered?"
"Then let me see just what kind of abilities you, the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, possess!"
The Heavenly Demon Emperor's aged face became somewhat ferocious, revealing a fierce light. An unparalleled divine might erupted directly from his thin body, and the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested behind him. His originally hunched body suddenly straightened up, and the ultimate dark Dao transformed into supreme armor draped over the old man's body.
From the depths of the Demon Abyss in the Heavenly Demon Realm, a blood-red aura illuminated the entire realm. A dark red, blood-stained, and ancient-looking giant sword flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
This giant sword exudes a strong aura of killing intent, as if it had once slain an unparalleled immortal, cutting through the long flow of time.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor held the giant sword in his hand, exuding an aura of supreme authority throughout the heavens and earth, showing no trace of his previous hunched appearance.
Clearly, the Heavenly Demon Emperor dared not be careless in the face of the Underworld Emperor who called himself the Central Ghost Emperor, and he went all out from the start.
"Boring"
Even as the fully armed and aura-elevated Heavenly Demon Emperor faced the Samsara Emperor, the Samsara Emperor still showed some disdain, considering him a being who had only reached the Heavenly Emperor realm through external means.
Such a being dares to embark on the path to immortality?
That's utterly delusional!
Although he looked down on the Heavenly Demon Emperor, he was, after all, a Heavenly Emperor-level being.
With just a wave of his hand, the ultimate power of reincarnation spread rapidly throughout the entire universe like ripples.
The once boundless star field vanished into nothingness in an instant.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor and the remaining eleven supreme experts of the Heavenly Demon God Realm suddenly froze in place, remaining motionless.
"How dare you do this?"
Upon witnessing this scene, a being from the depths of the Demon Abyss roared in extreme rage, transforming into several streaks of light that flew directly out of the Demon Abyss, carrying boundless galactic power as it charged toward the Reincarnation Emperor.
But at that very moment, above the Heavenly Demon God Realm, four towering figures radiating extreme auras formed a colossal array that blocked out the Heavenly Demon God Realm, and also blocked all the supreme experts in the Heavenly Demon God Realm who wanted to provide support.
Yang An, who was observing the movements of the Heavenly Demon God Realm through the Heaven-Covering Mirror, was first stunned, then realized what was happening.
