Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

"Heh heh, it seems the power of your Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone is not without flaws."

Although the Nether Abyss Emperor was blasted away, he was not frightened but rather pleased; it seems this item is weaker than he imagined.

"Let's deal with this kid first, we'll distribute the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone afterwards."

Emperor You Quan's eyes gleamed, then he said to the other two.

"Alright!"

The Nether Abyss Emperor nodded. Here he was the strongest; if he defeated Ye Xuan, the chances of obtaining the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone would naturally be greatest for him.

Having just engaged in a tough battle with Ye Xuan, his power was significantly depleted. If he wanted to eliminate Ye Xuan, he was sure to pay a considerable price.

The three eyed Ye Xuan like wolves and tigers, fixated on the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone, not seeing Ye Xuan as any real threat.

"If I can't activate the power of the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone again, I'm doomed."

Ye Xuan's expression was grave as he closed his eyes, held his breath, focused his spirit, and immersed his soul power into the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone. Immediately, a vast chaotic space appeared, and countless black energy spheres surrounded him.

These energy spheres seemed alive, writhing mid-air as they passed by Ye Xuan.

Through the countless spheres, Ye Xuan saw a grand altar at the end of the chaotic space, towering like a spire, reaching up to the sky.

Above the altar, wind and clouds surged, and innumerable energy spheres gathered from all directions, seemingly forming eight characters.

Blood sacrifice to Netherworld, transform into Heavenly Emperor.

Eight blood-red characters exuded a bloody aura, but the terrifying pressure was enough to inspire worship.

"Is this the correct way to activate the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone?"

At this moment, Ye Xuan realized the true method was a blood sacrifice.

Returning to reality, Ye Xuan did not hesitate any longer, biting his tongue to draw blood into the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone.

With the blood's integration, the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone suddenly emitted a layer of blood-colored light, then a grotesque beam shot into Ye Xuan's body.

In the next instant, Ye Xuan felt the blood in his body flowing backwards, and the crack on his finger rapidly expanded, in moments losing one-fifth of his body's essence blood.

"How much essence blood does this blood sacrifice require?"

Ye Xuan's face darkened, as it seemed the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone showed no signs of stopping, like a bottomless pit.

If this continues, he might die from the artifact before even facing the three Netherworld Emperors.

The assault of the three Netherworld Emperors arrived quickly; from the Blood Nether Emperor, crimson tendrils swooped out like endless red ribbons, exuding a vile stench.

Meanwhile, the Nether Abyss Emperor transformed into a demon dragon, carrying overwhelming Netherworld energy, while Emperor You Quan transformed several times before becoming a slime-like mass, spreading rapidly towards Ye Xuan's position.

Under such an attack, even high-level Sealing Emperor Strong People would undoubtedly perish, even figures like Dragon Clan Leader Ao Feng would likely be overwhelmed and destroyed here.

"There's no time left."

Ye Xuan's expression was grim, at such a crucial juncture, the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone continued absorbing essence blood, showing no signs of unleashing power.

Swish swish!

The tidal assault swept over, engulfing Ye Xuan in turbulent Netherworld energy instantly.

Under such ominous energy, it seemed any vitality would be instantly devoured and dissolved.

"Damn it, don't use too much force or you'll destroy the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone."

The Blood Nether Emperor's expression changed, regretting slightly.

"Rest assured, the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone isn't that fragile, but that kid probably turned to ashes by now."

Emperor You Quan laughed coldly, disdainfully.

"What a shame for such a handsome fellow."

The Blood Nether Emperor looked regretful.

Just as the three Netherworld Emperors assumed Ye Xuan was dead, a figure slowly surfaced from the center of the violent assault.

As the black light dissipated, Ye Xuan's figure emerged, protected by a layer of black Light Shield, apparently unharmed, seemingly untouched.

"What?"

The three Netherworld Emperors simultaneously exclaimed, faces filled with disbelief.

Swish!

Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pitch-black stone resembling obsidian lodged in the crack of his chest, precisely the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone.

At the critical moment, the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone directly fused into Ye Xuan's body, ripping his skin open, forcibly embedding itself.

At this moment, a crimson mark appeared on Ye Xuan's brow, emitting a shocking pressure, with a violent and murderous aura, spreading immediately.

Slaughter, blood, madness, hatred, rage... various negative emotions surged into Ye Xuan's mind, seemingly attempting to control him.

Were it not for Ye Xuan's strong soul power and incredible will, he might have already gone mad.

The Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone was an immensely powerful malevolent artifact, capable of consuming any creature's spirit. Fortunately, Ye Xuan held back from fully activating its power, preventing immediate control.

Yet now Ye Xuan felt the perpetual rush of energy within his body, as if an endless source of terrifying power awaited his use.

However, this power was extremely malevolent, Ye Xuan watched as the meridians in his body quickly blackened, forcing him to channel True Yuan to suppress the power, avoiding being consumed and facing eternal doom.

"Don't even think about harnessing the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone's power, slaughter him!"

The Nether Abyss Emperor's countenance changed drastically, then he shouted fiercely, charging towards Ye Xuan.

The Blood Nether Emperor and Emperor You Quan also locked onto Ye Xuan, jumping forward one after another.

Bam!

Ye Xuan raised the Void Emperor Sword to fend off their assault, but ultimately was sent flying, blood seeping from his mouth, the Void Emperor Sword nearly slipping from his grasp.

"Ha ha, utterly weak!"

The three Netherworld Emperors laughed heartily, gazes full of contempt towards Ye Xuan.

"Either way it's death, might as well use this power to fight!"

Facing such a dire situation, Ye Xuan's face darkened. He withdrew the Void Emperor Sword, flipped his hand, and a long blade shining with black light appeared.

"Netherworld Artifact! You really have good luck. I wonder how many treasures you have on you," Emperor You Quan's eyes gleamed, revealing greed.

"Come and take it if you dare."

Black light shimmered in Ye Xuan's eyes, as sinister dark energy rapidly spread from his chest. At this moment, Ye Xuan was like he had undergone a complete dark transformation, and the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone's expansion seemed to resonate with the Heavenly Netherworld Blade, an endless malevolent aura subtly forming a heavy Netherworld Armor on Ye Xuan's surface.
