Ming Jiuyao did not correct Zhou Xingdou's way of addressing him, but slowly nodded in agreement.
When Zhou Xingdou learned for the first time that he had relatives of the same generation, he immediately felt an extremely strange sense of closeness to Ming Jiuyao. He contentedly moved closer to his cousin and asked:
"Who is that Underworld Protector?"
Ming Jiuyao's eyes flickered, and he came up with an extremely indirect explanation:
You can think of him as my "Uncle Qin".
It's obvious that Ming Jiuyao is very familiar with Zhou Xingdou and the Zhou family's situation, but that's to be expected, since they're all relatives, and only Zhou Xingdou himself has been kept in the dark.
With such a simple and easy-to-understand explanation, Zhou Xingdou naturally understood the general relationship of the Underworld Protector at a glance.
But unexpectedly, the Underworld Protector waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, Qin Ming has already defied the innate realm, unlike me who is still wasting my time in the Emperor Realm."
However, the Underworld Protector still smiled, seemingly pleased that Ming Jiuyao regarded him as someone like Uncle Qin from Stephen Chow's movies.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow slightly. Although he did not understand the meaning of reversing one's innate nature, he knew that this was probably the meaning of being above the Emperor Realm.
However, to his surprise, Qin Ming was going to surpass the Great Emperor.
After all, when Qin Ming was still alive, everyone called him Emperor Qin, the Immovable Emperor Ming, which made Zhou Xingdou always think that Qin Ming should be a powerful figure in the Great Emperor realm. Now, judging from the words of the Underworld Protector, he had underestimated Qin Ming.
It's no wonder that Qin Mingguang relied on an avatar to protect him as he fought his way through the Tai Shi Dao Domain; the strength of that avatar was probably comparable to that of a Great Emperor.
"Go into the main hall first, your father is waiting for you."
Ming Jiuyao interrupted Zhou Xingdou's thoughts, then patted Zhou Xingdou's shoulder affectionately and pulled him into the Underworld Palace.
The Underworld Palace was even more gloomy than the outside world. Upon entering, one could feel countless bursts of blood and energy. Long dragons of blood energy soared between the palaces, and waves of energy constantly erupted between them.
At this moment, Ming Jiuyao explained to Zhou Xingdou:
"The cultivators of the Underworld Palace cultivate qi and blood, so they basically need to temper their bodies every day, which has led to some chaos in the palace."
Zhou Xingdou nodded in understanding, which was expected. After all, he knew from his fight with Ming Jiuyao that the Underworld Palace was an immortal force that mainly cultivated qi and blood.
"It's a pity that Tian Jiu'er got the better deal back then, otherwise the King of the Underworld would definitely have taken you to the Underworld Palace."
The Underworld Protector sighed, then examined Zhou Xingdou's body:
"But it's not a pity. With your physique, probably only Jiu Yao can compare to you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou looked at his cousin with slight surprise. He knew that his cousin had cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, which, although now integrated into the Punishment Scripture, had only become stronger.
Along the way, there has been no one in the same realm who can rival him, let alone his physique. Now that the Underworld Protector is saying that Jiu Yao's physique is comparable to his, how can he not be curious?
Ming Jiuyao shook his head and said:
"When I was in the Saint Realm, my physique was not as good as Xingdou's back then. Now, although I have achieved the Great Perfection of the Dark Chaos Body and my physique is no different from Xingdou's, I still have the advantage of being older."
Zhou Xingdou's eyes also flickered, and he said to Ming Jiuyao with some interest:
"Give it a try?"
When Zhou Xingdou encounters someone whose physique rivals his own, how could he not want to give them a try, even if the person opposite him is his cousin?
Ming Jiuyao smiled slightly on his otherwise ordinary face, not refusing Zhou Xingdou's request, and gently raised his hand, saying:
"Let's stop here. Don't keep your uncle waiting too long."
Zhou Xingdou understood that since they were all family, they couldn't play a life-or-death game, so he raised his hand and placed it on Ming Jiuyao's hand:
"Let's stop here then."
Before the words were finished, a buzzing sound was heard!
Buzz!
The moment Zhou Xingdou and Ming Jiuyao made contact, ripples spread out, creating a force wave formed by the clash of extremely terrifying powers.
The Underworld Protector stared intently at the point where the two joined hands, never expecting that Zhou Xingdou was on par with Ming Jiuyao in terms of power control.
The force contained in the point where their palms met was enough to overturn heaven and earth, but under their exquisite control, the force of the clash was hidden beneath the void of space, allowing them to exert their full power without damaging the space of the Underworld Palace.
Zhou Xingdou was also secretly alarmed. He was increasing the power in his palm, and had already drawn up 80% of his blood and energy. However, Ming Jiuyao remained unmoved, his expression still calm and composed.
"Cousin, be careful."
Zhou Xingdou gave a reminder, and his Dao power and imperial power circulated together. He moved his blood and qi throughout his body to his palms, and in an instant, he unleashed his full power!
At this moment, Ming Jiuyao's expression also hardened, and his steady hand trembled slightly, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. He calmed his breath and steadied his hand again.
boom!
But at this moment, the two could no longer control the release of their power. The space between their hands exploded with a roar, the heavens and earth shook, and the terrifying power clashed to the extreme, forming a vortex that crushed everything between them!
"Stop fooling around."
call!
A gentle breeze swept by, calming all the disturbances and silently erasing the fierce power of Zhou Xingdou and Ming Jiuyao.
Zhou Xingdou and Ming Jiuyao withdrew their hands at the same time. Zhou Xingdou was slightly surprised, because he did not believe that Ming Jiuyao's physique could compare with his own.
But just now he exerted all his strength, almost to the fullest extent, yet Ming Jiuyao was only shaken by a fraction and quickly regained his balance. This proved that Ming Jiuyao's strength was definitely not weaker than his own, and might even be slightly stronger.
But compared to Zhou Xingdou, Ming Jiuyao was even more shocked:
"That's really perverted."
