Chapter 1073

"I'll give you a chance. If you still consider yourselves to be from the Nether Realm, then walk into the Nether River now and offer your body to the Nether Emperor."

Underworld Supremacy Xiusha ordered coldly. As he spoke, a strange light flashed across his eyes.

Ye Fei and the other Underworld Kings were dazed by his gaze. They unknowingly wanted to walk into the Nether River.

"You dare to play tricks in front of me?"

Gu Chen's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light. They were like golden divine lightning as he stared at Underworld Supremacy Xiusha.

"Ah!"

Underworld Supremacy Xiusha screamed. His eyes were instantly blinded and blood flowed out.

Ye Fei and the others immediately regained consciousness and hid behind Gu Chen in fear. They didn't dare to get close to the strange Nether River.

"Overlord, you were disrespectful to the Underworld Emperor in the Underworld Emperor Tower. The Underworld Emperor once said that the first person he would kill after coming out of seclusion would be you. Yet, you still dare to come to him?"

Underworld Supremacy Xiusha covered his blinded eyes with both hands and said viciously.

"I already knew that he wanted to kill me. What about him? Why didn't he show himself? Why did he send a lackey like you? "

Gu Chen mocked.

"How dare you look down on me!"

Underworld Supremacy Xiusha was furious. This person was once a junior of the Nether Realm. A mere Underworld King dared to look down on him!

He immediately pounced at Gu Chen. Sinister winds blew as he tried to attack him.

Pa!

Gu Chen casually slapped Underworld Supremacy Xiusha to the other side of the Nether River. He fell heavily on the side of the river and his mouth was filled with bloody mud!

"Bastard!"

Underworld Supremacy Xiusha wanted to get up angrily, but he didn't have the strength to do so.

A casual slap from Gu Chen had severely injured him!

"Lord Xiusha was killed by Overlord with a slap?"

Ye Fei and the other Underworld Kings were in disbelief when they saw this.

Before the Underworld Emperor was revived, Lord Xiusha could be said to be the leader of the Nether Realm. His strength was comparable to the various starry sky magnates.

After the recovery of Dao Power, Lord Xiu Sha's cultivation also made great progress. It was said that he had already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

But right now, Lord Xiu Cha, a Quasi-emperor, was slapped so hard by the Overlord that he couldn't even stand. Just how strong was the Overlord now?

They were all filled with shock, yet Gu Chen calmly walked to the edge of the Netherworld River. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed at the Black Tower in the distance.

"Emperor of the Underworld, do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to drag you out?"

His words were domineering, and the only response he got was the furious roar of Xiu Sha on the other side of the river.

"Don't be disrespectful to the Underworld Emperor, you stinking brat!"

Gu Chen ignored Xiu Sha. Seeing that the Emperor of the Netherworld did not respond, he flipped his hand and took out a long spear.

Dang!

He casually threw it out, and the spear pierced through the void, heading straight for the black tower in the distance!

This was a blatant provocation. As a dignified ancient emperor, he was finally angered.

Rumble –

A huge earthquake suddenly occurred within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. The ground cracked rapidly, and the Netherworld River in front of Gu Chen suddenly rose into the sky!

It had actually transformed into a giant Netherworld snake. Before Gu Chen's spear could approach the Netherworld Emperor Pagoda, it was whipped by the snake's tail and fell into the Netherworld River, its whereabouts unknown!

"Heavens, what the hell is this?"

The Dragon Horse's scalp went numb. The Netherworld snake in front of it was too big, and its body rippled like flowing water. Countless blood cocoons floated up and down, and its murderous aura soared into the sky!

"The legends are indeed true. The Netherworld River is the Emperor of the Netherworld's weapon!"

Ye Fei was so scared that her beautiful face paled. She almost fainted under the monstrous power of the Netherworld River.

Seeing that the Netherworld River had transformed into a human form, Gu Chen smiled instead.

"Your true body is not willing to show itself. It seems that you are still a little bit away from breaking through."

Endless black fog surged where the Netherworld Emperor Pagoda was. As if someone had touched a sore spot, a cold and stern voice sounded.

"I didn't expect you to grow to such a stage in such a short period of time. Is it because of the Seed of Origin?"

Gu Chen smiled and didn't say anything. He stepped into the sky and flew towards the Netherworld Emperor Pagoda.

"Even if this Emperor is still a step away from returning to the emperor realm, I am not someone you can casually provoke!"

Seeing how brazen Gu Chen was, the Netherworld Emperor let out a cold snort. That giant Netherworld Snake immediately pounced at him!

Gu Chen was fearless. His body was surging with golden blood qi as he brandished his fist against the wind!

Boom —!

With this fist, that giant Netherworld Snake's body was immediately blasted open. Gu Chen tunneled through the hole and headed straight for the Netherworld Emperor Pagoda without any hesitation!

"So powerful!"

Ye Fei and the others were pleasantly surprised. Even the Dragon Horse was flabbergasted. Not long ago, Gu Chen didn't seem to have such strength!

"I didn't expect your physical body to actually reach the level of a Dao Seeking Realm emperor. This Emperor's evaluation of you is still a little too low."

"This is the reason why you have the courage to look for me? Do you think you can defeat me just because your physical body has reached the level of an emperor? "

"Let me tell you. Even if we are both at the Dao Seeking Realm, there is still a huge difference in strength between emperors! You are just here to give me a gift. Treat yourself as a gift to me! "

Once the Netherworld Emperor finished speaking, the Netherworld Snake's body that was pierced by Gu Chen flowed with black water and rapidly recovered.

Swish Swish!

It traversed the void. Its body might be massive, but it was very fast. In an instant, it caught up to Gu Chen!

Gu Chen frowned slightly and executed the Battle Saint Technique with a flip of his hand.

Boom! Bang, bang!

His physical body was like a precious treasure. With his absolute strength and the enhancement from the Battle Saint Technique, he easily blasted the Netherworld Snake full of holes!

However, the Netherworld Snake was formed from the Netherworld River. The black water flowed within it and it was constantly recovering. No matter how hard he hit it, it wouldn't die.

Gu Chen wanted to bypass it and attack the Netherworld Emperor's Pagoda directly. However, it simply wrapped its huge body around the Netherworld Emperor's Pagoda and formed an impenetrable fortress!

"This Netherworld River has been by my side since I stepped onto the path of cultivation. It is my Natal Emperor Weapon. Do you think you have the ability to destroy it?"

The Netherworld Emperor saw that Gu Chen was helpless and mocked.

"Back then, in order to escape the calamity of the fallen emperors, I was forced to cripple my own cultivation and imprison myself here. However, do you really think I didn't leave any defenses?"

"I refined this Netherworld River from a drop of water into a river. After countless years, the spirituality of the emperor spirit is far beyond that of an ordinary weapon spirit. Even without my command, it will automatically protect its owner. It is my protective talisman. It can devour anything and nothing can break it. No matter how great the injury, it can recover to its original state. "

"In the primordial era, in terms of defense, there weren't many emperor weapons that could compare to it!"

"I am indeed one step away from returning to the emperor realm. However, do you think you can stop me from taking this step?"

After the Netherworld Emperor finished speaking, the Netherworld Snake opened its mouth and roared. It spat out a sky full of black arrows that completely surrounded Gu Chen.

Gu Chen slashed out with his palm and all the black arrows fell to the ground. However, they turned into liquid and fell back into the Netherworld River!

From the looks of it, the energy of the Netherworld River had formed a self-contained cycle. It had the ability to attack infinitely!

"Looks like if I don't deal with this Netherworld River, I won't even be able to get close to the Netherworld Emperor."
