Chapter 557 The Arrogance of the Underworld Emperor

The Underworld Emperor looked up, his vision filled by Li An's sharp eyes.There was no fear, no respect, no terror, only a surging killing intent."You've got guts." The Underworld Emperor sneered, his right palm striking out a second time, unleashing destructive force.Li An's body visibly bulged for a moment, the dense veins and thick muscles trembling slightly.But after a few breaths.Everything returned to normal."Hmm?" A playful glint appeared in the Underworld Emperor's eyes. "You're quite resilient."He was about to attack again, but heard Li An's cold voice: "It's my turn now."The Underworld Emperor: "?" From childhood to adulthood, except when facing his father, he had always been the one giving orders.No one had the right to bargain with him.Even less so a mere ant from the lower realm.He wouldn't allow Li An to retaliate.Facing Li An's right fist formed from blazing purple-gold flames, he advanced instead of retreating, delivering a palm strike.Everyone's gaze sharpened instantly.This strike could be considered the first formal exchange between Li An and the Underworld Emperor.Fist and palm collided in an instant."Bang!" A muffled sound rang out.Both men staggered back two steps.This time, the Underworld Emperor's expression finally changed.He looked down at his slightly numb right arm, somewhat astonished.Could a mere ant in the mortal realm possess such formidable strength?And this was despite him wearing the Ancient God's Leather Armor."Impossible!" The Underworld Emperor abruptly raised his hand.Li An suddenly said, "How strange.""As far as I know, you've cultivated for six years longer than me.""Furthermore, you're wearing that Ancient God's Leather Armor, and you're the Crown Prince of the Underworld Kingdom.""Why... do you only possess this level of strength?"Upon hearing this,everyone was stunned.The spectators across the heavens reacted instantly.While both the Underworld Emperor and Li An were young,Li An was significantly younger. At this rapidly changing age, six years was a long time—enough to accomplish a great deal.Give Li An another six years, and he would undoubtedly reach the Divine Realm.And the Underworld Emperor?He was still wearing armor made from the corpses of fourth-tier lifeforms, and could only manage a draw with Li An.Judging their strength from this perspective,there was no doubt that Li An's talent surpassed the Underworld Emperor's.The Underworld Emperor was the Crown Prince of the Underworld Kingdom. Whether he would become emperor was uncertain, but it certainly meant he was the most talented young man in the Underworld Kingdom.Li An's talent surpassed even the strongest in the celestial kingdoms.These few words stirred everyone's thoughts.A scene was beginning to unfold.The battlefield fell into a brief silence after Li An finished speaking.Emperor Ming, his head bowed, his features obscured by his hair, made it impossible for anyone to see his expression.Suddenly!Emperor Ming abruptly looked up and let out a deafening laugh!"Hahahahahahahaha!!!" He laughed so hard he could barely breathe, looking at Li An as if he were witnessing the biggest joke in the world.Then he quickly spoke: "What did you mean by that?""You're saying your talent is actually higher than mine?""You're stronger than me?""Crazy.""The ants of this world have truly gone mad!""You don't actually think that casual strike just now was my full power, do you?""It's my fault for giving you such an absurd illusion." Emperor Ming seemed genuinely unperturbed. After laughing, he shook his head speechlessly and said, "You scum of the earth.""Truly ungrateful.""I've tolerated you time and time again, and yet you think you can defeat me.""Do you know why you're all still standing?""Because the fortunes of the Alliance still depend on you fat sheep to activate them." He swept his gaze across the surrounding world, mocking, "Look, what kind of Heaven Thief is this, what kind of Feather Emperor is this?""What kind of Zhuge Tianming is this?""A bunch of scum, surrounding you here, thinking you can resist me.""You have no idea what the Heavenly Realm is like, let alone what royalty means.""Let me tell you, you foolish scum.""I am the Crown Prince of a Heavenly Kingdom.""To all of you, I am the supreme being." "Yes.""I can accept that you don't kneel or bow before me, because I am magnanimous.""I can also accept that you kill my subordinates, because they were indeed weak, just a bunch of useless trash.""But I don't understand, why do you, the worst of the worst, dare to provoke me?""How ridiculous." The Underworld Emperor chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Li An.""Soon, you will regret coming into this world, and you will be even more annoyed at why you just said such idiotic things.""Because in five minutes at most, you will be kneeling before me.""Then, I will not kill you immediately, I will..." "I'll torture those around you to death before your very eyes, making you watch your comrades, your lovers, fall before me one by one under endless humiliation, kissing my toes, begging for my forgiveness.""I'm sorry, I harbor no ill will towards you, for you are unworthy to be my enemies.""But offending a young king always comes at a price, otherwise how can I face anyone in the future?" Li An crossed his arms, frowning after listening to him finish. "After all that talk, don't you understand you have no future?" The Underworld Emperor nodded, saying, "You're truly interesting.""He won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin."As soon as he finished speaking,dense golden lightning erupted from his chest, and his figure gradually rose into the air, draped in golden lightning, his feet firmly planted on the heavens and earth.It wasn't over yet.He actually removed his ancient god armor, preparing to fight Li An bare-handed.But none of the Underworld soldiers beneath him seemed to see anything wrong; on the contrary, many had already bowed their heads and knelt, their faces filled with excitement.Golden divine lightning has another name—the divine power of destruction and annihilation.The Heavenly Kingdom doesn't have concepts of unlimited or SSS-level talents.Especially for the royal family.Their abilities come from—the Chosen Ones.They acquire the power of the Chosen Ones through certain trials.The highest level of Chosen One power is called Divine Power.Divine Power has two characteristics, or rather, it can be considered one, as these two characteristics are almost inseparable.Uniqueness, innate.The term "innate" has appeared many times throughout the heavens, referring to things born alongside the heavens.Where there are life classes, there are power sequences.There are many talents related to the attribute of destruction, and countless others related to annihilation.Which is the strongest?The innate one is the strongest!The Heavenly Realm's understanding of talent has reached a level of profound simplicity.They don't have SSS-level talents, nor do they have many strange and unusual names.All talent names are attribute + sequence.
