255: grim Reaper

Time passed unconsciously for more than half a day.

The eruption of the Netherworld Divine Pool was getting closer, and the experts began to grow restless.

They could already see a dazzling blue light erupting from the deepest part of the city.

This was the sign of the Netherworld Power appearing.

Whether it was the external experts or the forces within the Netherworld, everyone was burning with greed.

Especially those with lower strength, their breathing became even more hurried.

Once they absorbed this high-level power, their strength would undergo a qualitative sublimation, allowing them to be reborn and become true experts.

Yan Yan, who was in Xiao Xing's arms, was originally feeling bashful, but now she was also attracted by the rainbow light in the distance and couldn't help but turn to look.

Zizi~!

At that moment, a sound like teeth grinding rang out.

Though the sound was faint, it spread to every corner of the Netherworld, as if heaven and earth were being split apart.

Before anyone could react, a surge of pure energy spread out from the depths of Underworld City, instantly sweeping through everyone's body and mind, then spreading across the entire Netherworld.

The energy was extremely high-level and dense; at this moment, the Divine Souls of all living beings couldn't help but become excited, feeling that their life level had improved significantly.

Netherworld Divine Power!!

A God Emperor Expert stared intently at the depths of Underworld City, his expression no longer as calm as before, and his breathing was extremely hurried.

This was the sign before the crack opened; although only the aura was spreading out, even they were envious of such high-level power.

The other God Emperor Experts even summoned their weapons and armor, preparing to fight for it.

They came here specifically to snatch the Netherworld Divine Power; things like Treasure Chests were just excuses. However, as God Emperor Experts, they were all prominent figures, so they couldn't say such things directly.

Around Underworld City, the forces of various major powers were ready to move, waiting for those God Emperor Experts to act before they would attack Underworld City.

In the depths of Underworld City, the Underworld King stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Netherworld Pool that was about to erupt, his expression showing no ripples at all.

A man in a black robe stood behind him, carrying a giant scythe on his back. Because of the black robe, his face was completely hidden, with only a pair of green pupils emitting a sharp light.

He was the former master of the Netherworld, the Death God.

After being enslaved thousands of years ago, the Death God became the Underworld King's second-in-command.

Because the Underworld King had been in seclusion for a long time to Cultivate, Underworld City had also been managed by the Death God all these years.

The reason why so many top-tier forces appeared in the Netherworld was also the result of the Death God's tacit approval of their development.

As the former master of the Netherworld, he was naturally unwilling to be controlled like this.

Over the past thousands of years, he had secretly cultivated and colluded with all the top forces in the Netherworld, preparing some means to break free from the Underworld King's control.

When the Netherworld Divine Pool erupted, external experts would surely come to snatch it, and this was the opportunity he was waiting for.

"Once I finish absorbing these powers, I will return the Netherworld to you."

The Underworld King's deep voice rang out, seemingly not noticing the Death God's abnormality as he spoke to himself.

At this point, the Underworld King's eyes turned cold as he said, "The premise is that you help me hold back those people for a day."

At his level of strength, he didn't care about ruling the Netherworld; only high-level power like the Netherworld Divine Power could catch his interest, which was also his main purpose for controlling the Netherworld.

Only by turning the Netherworld into his home field would he not fear the experts coming to snatch the Netherworld Power and be able to fully absorb all the erupted energy.

Once he finished absorbing the Netherworld Power, he would leave this world and go elsewhere to Cultivate.

Although he didn't fear those experts now, nine God Emperors would still cause some trouble, so he needed the Death God to temporarily hold them back.
