The Four Emperors of the Underworld felt a chill in their hearts. In the Immortal Court, Heavenly Venerates, Imperial Lords, and Yuan Lords were the most renowned. The Immortal Emperor Supreme rarely appeared, and even less often acted personally. The Immortal Court revered those three above all.
But after the Heavenly Venerate died at Xu Jing's hands, one of the Immortal Court's three great powers was gone. The Yuan Lord also became much more restrained, while the Imperial Lord rarely showed himself.
The Immortal Court's three great powers seemed unable to match Xu Jing's prestige.
Yet after exchanging blows just now, the Four Emperors of the Underworld realized the gap.
The gap was at least two realms wide. There was simply no way to resist.
The four Yuan Lords—Wen Xuan, Meng Ji, Ling Shu, and Fei Yu—also bore the title of Yuan Lord, but they were merely Immortal Lords. Their cultivation and strength were worlds apart from Yuan Lord Lingsu's.
Yuan Lord Lingsu was known as the foremost Primordial Spirit in the Immortal Realm. Her palm contained Heaven and Earth, vast beyond measure—so vast that it could cover the entire Underworld.
Just as the four Great Emperors of the Underworld were about to die at her hands, the Nether Sea suddenly roiled. Another upright Nether Sea appeared and came crashing down upon the Yuan Lord!
Although that Nether Sea stood vertically like an ocean raised into the sky, its waters remained utterly still, showing no sign of falling. At its center was a gigantic skull with a pair of horns. The two horns resembled pillars thrust into the darkness, winding through nine bends and eighteen turns. Though their owner had been dead for who knew how long, they still radiated overwhelming divine power!
The Nether Sea had appeared without warning.
