Chapter 1076

Darkness was corroding Gu Chen. At the same time, a desolate power was trying to invade Gu Chen's body. Everywhere it passed through, Gu Chen's flesh would start to rot and emit a dense deathly aura.

"Laws of death …"

Gu Chen's heart shuddered again. This was a power that was opposed to the laws of life. It represented destruction and death.

The Netherworld Emperor's Netherworld Source was very special. It actually fused the laws of darkness and death!

"Break it!"

Gu Chen took a deep breath and exerted all his strength. However, he wasn't able to break the Netherworld Boundary formed by darkness and death!

"It's useless. Your physical body might be comparable to a Dao Querying Realm emperor's physical body, but your cultivation realm isn't up to par. How can you break my dao technique?"

The Netherworld Emperor saw the situation and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

His dao technique, Netherworld Boundary, was finally effective. If Jiang Yi could break this move, he might really fail miserably today.

Gu Chen's expression turned awful, but he didn't give up. He clenched his fists tightly and tried frantically.

"It's useless!"

The Netherworld Emperor extended his fingers and instantly, black smoke engulfed Gu Chen's hands and extended towards his chest.

Gu Chen was powerless to resist and could only watch as half of his body disappeared into the darkness. He had completely lost his connection with them.

He was only left with his chest and head. He was helpless in the darkness and was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

"When the darkness completely engulfs you, your soul will vanish forever. I will take over your physical body."

The Netherworld Emperor licked his lips and revealed greed in his eyes.

The process might be a little dangerous, but he ultimately won.

This physical body was young and full of potential. It could completely make up for the loss he suffered when he forcefully emerged.

More importantly, he could obtain even more valuable treasures.

"That germinating Origin Seed is in your dantian, right?"

The Netherworld Emperor slowly approached Gu Chen and had a fervent expression.

"What are you trying to do?" Gu Chen's expression changed.

"When you entered the Netherworld Emperor Tower last time, I didn't expect that the Seed of Origin had already sprouted in your body. I was careless and was injured by the chaotic aura. That's why you managed to escape."

"This time, I've recovered to the emperor realm. It won't be like last time. I'll take it out carefully."

The more the Underworld Emperor talked, the closer he got to Gu Chen. Soon, he stood in front of Gu Chen.

At this time, Gu Chen's entire body was swallowed by the darkness. Only his head was left, and he couldn't move at all.

"How much do you know about the Mother Root of All Things?"

At the critical moment of life and death, for some reason, Gu Chen asked this question.

"Mother Root of All Things? Is this the name of the Seed of Origin? "

Hearing this, the Underworld Emperor was surprised, and he seemed to be in deep thought.

"Looks like you don't know much about it. Even so, you dare to talk nonsense about obtaining its fortune?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen sneered.

"Humph, how many people in the Ninth Realm know the true origin of this object?" the Underworld Emperor said coldly.

"If you don't know its origin, why do you think it's a treasure?" Gu Chen's eyes flickered.

"Thirty thousand years ago, this object appeared from the Wall of Primal Chaos at the edge of the world. When it appeared, the phenomenon was extremely shocking. How could it not be a treasure?"

The Underworld Emperor added confidently. "Plus, when I invaded your Dantian last time, it had already sprouted and was filled with chaotic aura. It's enough to prove its extraordinariness."

Gu Chen fell into deep thought. The chaotic aura that the Underworld Emperor mentioned should be the gray fog lingering on the trunk of the Mother Root of All Things.

He didn't understand the chaotic aura, but the Underworld Emperor's explanation was similar to the white whale's. Obviously, he didn't know much about the origin of the Mother Root of All Things.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen was disappointed.

The Underworld Emperor noticed Gu Chen's disappointed expression and instinctively felt that something was wrong!

This lad was restrained by the Underworld Enchantment and couldn't move. He was about to lose his life. How could he be so calm and still have the leisure to ask about this?

"Not good!"

He suddenly felt a sense of danger. He immediately wanted to distance himself from Gu Chen.

Whoosh!

But before he could retreat, a faint gray glow suddenly flashed past from the darkness!

"Ah!"

The Underworld Emperor screamed and retreated angrily. He saw Gu Chen's hand, which had been swallowed, suddenly appear from the darkness. He was holding an ancient gray sword!

"Underworld Daoist Sword!"

He cried out involuntarily. He retreated in panic while pressing on the side of his body that was covered in blood from the sneak attack.

"Your Underworld Enchantment is indeed powerful. I can't break it. But this sword can."

Gu Chen held the Underworld Daoist Sword in his hand and mocked coldly.

The Underworld Enchantment combined the Law of Darkness and the Law of Death. Under the Law of Darkness, the gradual disappearance of the human body was actually just an illusion.

What would really kill him was the power of the Dao of Death.

When Gu Chen was trapped by the Underworld Enchantment, he immediately called out the Underworld Daoist Sword and secretly borrowed its power.

This weapon was a Sovereign Weapon of the Dao of Death. With it in his hand, Gu Chen was not eroded by the power of death. He also broke free from the illusion and regained control of his body.

However, he pretended that he was unable to move so that the Underworld Emperor would approach him carelessly.

This was a risky thing to do. A cautious person might not get close and would always keep a safe distance.

But Gu Chen guessed that the Underworld Emperor coveted the Seed of Origin and would definitely get close to him. So he made a bold attempt. As expected, he injured the Underworld Emperor unexpectedly!

Unfortunately, the Underworld Emperor reacted quickly. He sensed Gu Chen's calmness from his interaction with him and dodged in time to avoid the fatal blow.

"You dared to plot against me. Your courage is commendable. Unfortunately, you are still too inexperienced. If you hadn't asked those useless questions, maybe you would have finished me off. "

The Underworld Emperor couldn't help but grit his teeth when he was injured. He secretly rejoiced.

He didn't expect this guy to have the Underworld Sword in his hand. This sword was a Sovereign Weapon of Death and had unparalleled power. If he was hit in a vital spot, even he would die.

Fortunately, he dodged in time. Although his body was still eroded by the uncontrollable power of death, he could still suppress it and could still fight.

"I think you might have misunderstood."

Hearing this, Gu Chen showed a mocking look in his eyes.

"Misunderstood what?" The Underworld Emperor's eyes were gloomy.

"Just now, I purposely revealed a flaw so that you would be on your guard. That way, you wouldn't die from a single sword strike," Gu Chen said with a smile.

"What do you mean? Could it be that you want to spare my life? "

The Underworld Emperor was so angry that he laughed. He didn't believe what Gu Chen said at all.

A mere Sovereign Candidate purposely held back against him, a Sovereign. If it was true, then wasn't that humiliating him?

"It's not that I want to spare your life. It's just that what I want to do in the future is extremely difficult. If I can kill you here and now, I will be more confident," Gu Chen said calmly.

"Hehe, what do you want to do in the future?" The Underworld Emperor was seething with anger.

"I want to unify the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm."

Gu Chen's black hair danced in the wind as he pointed his sword at the Underworld Emperor!

"Are you joking?" The Underworld Emperor was shocked.

"I'm not joking."

Gu Chen's eyes shone brightly as his fighting spirit soared.
