Though Hell is empty, it still holds some value. Chu Yuan knew that the news of the fall of powerful beings in Hell could not be concealed for long, and soon people would sense the decline in Hell's fortunes and understand the internal situation. But Chu Yuan would not care. In the present situation, our side must gather the strongest power and completely claim victory! "It's too late for emptiness." Chu Yuan shook his head, "If I had more time, I could cultivate beings suited to Hell's power, allowing them to become Sovereigns of Hell, but now it's too difficult to achieve." His gaze turned to the Lord of Death. "Divine Emperor, you saved me this time. I didn't expect a small act of mine that day would have such a significant impact now." The Lord of Death said, "I must tell you something; when the Faceless Man came to see me before, he appeared in the guise of a Sovereign, with an identical aura and soul, and even I couldn't tell the difference." "To make a soul's appearance completely identical, his facelessness is not complete facelessness but can transform into countless faces!" This piece of information was indeed important. He had speculated as much before, but now it was confirmed. "Lord of Death, you no longer need to be suppressed here; you can leave." Chu Yuan suddenly said to him. "Oh? It seems my departure does not come without a price. The Divine Emperor probably wants to recruit me to become your subordinate and serve you." The Lord of Death also stared at Chu Yuan, saying, "I cannot see through you, Divine Emperor, but you should know this: long ago, Hades also tried to recruit me, and I chose rather to be sealed by him than to submit. I practice the power of death, and I understand it well—it's nothing but disappearing from the world, and I do not fear death." He naturally understood that this Divine Emperor wanted to recruit him, but he did not want to align himself with others. "I am different from Hades." As Chu Yuan spoke, an invincible aura shook the soul; within the soul of the Lord of Death, a presence that dominated the ages condensed. The Lord of Death was shaken to retreat repeatedly, calmly saying, "If I am unwilling to submit, even if the Divine Emperor kills me, it won't help; I am grateful for the Divine Emperor's act of salvation." "The situation outside is no longer the same; this era will eventually birth a supreme being, and those who go against the trend will ultimately disappear eternally." "I am not curious about what is happening outside." The Lord of Death stubbornly said. "Lord of Death, I am not a very patient person. Today, I give you the chance to align with me." Chu Yuan didn't save the Lord of Death for nothing. This was a true strong being, one able to resist the power of an Origin God, and his personal strength was superior to any sixth realm being in the empire. Unlike the Sky Lord and others who couldn't face an Origin God, the Lord of Death could. Chu Yuan had to subdue the Lord of Death. "I can even sense the Divine Emperor's strength surpasses Hades. The Divine Emperor can kill me, but making me submit just by strength alone is impossible." The Lord of Death was extremely stubborn. "Oh? There's nothing impossible before me." Chu Yuan's gaze was sharp, his majestic figure stood before the Lord of Death, and an immense wave of mana immediately enveloped him. "Undying and immortal!" The Lord of Death unleashed the true essence of death. But Chu Yuan's radiance shone through the ages, dazzlingly brilliant, and in this instant, the Lord of Death felt his life and death essence being controlled by a world-captivating force capable of erasing his essence entirely. "He is controlling my death essence!" The Lord of Death exclaimed. The essence that made him hard to kill lay in his death essence. "Lord of Death, if you wish to die, I can grant you that." As Emperor, Chu Yuan would never bargain with him; he valued the potential of the Lord of Death, wanting him under his command for the empire's benefit. The Lord of Death did not fear death. To make him willingly submit, it required more than force; his heart needed to be completely suppressed. The Lord of Death remained silent, even though his soul was near collapse. "Reincarnation of heaven and earth, realm of life and death!" At this moment, Chu Yuan unleashed the power of reincarnation, manifesting the realm of life and death; the powers of life and death swirled around, and countless lives and deaths played out in the phantoms of reincarnation. "The power of life and death!" The Lord of Death was utterly shocked. Specialized in the Divine Abilities of death, his sensitivity to life and death power was acute, utterly shaking his nerves. At this moment, he looked at Chu Yuan, and this Emperor was too magnificent; he could clearly feel this Emperor's dominance. He didn't specialize in any particular Divine Abilities but could control life and death reincarnation. He was the master of life and death reincarnation. This was something he could not achieve. "This cycle of life and death... he is recreating reincarnation, forging his own world!" The Lord of Death found it unimaginable; he exclaimed, "Divine Emperor, have you created a world concerning life and death, where you can resurrect the dead, not just of the Heavenly Dao, like the graves of the gods in the Divine Capital!" He was utterly astonished by Chu Yuan's realm of life and death. To achieve the status of an Origin God, he needed to comprehend the power of life from the essence of death, and coincidentally, Chu Yuan's realm of life and death held that power. Official source is novel-fire.ɴet He was unafraid of death but craved more powerful strength. However, Chu Yuan did not answer him at all. Jiuyou also coldly observed him. "Alright, this time you've saved me, and I, the Lord of Death, have been sealed by Hades for too long. It's time to emerge into the world and witness the birth of this great new era!" The Lord of Death was too eager for powerful strength. He was a being from the dawn of the era, having long reached the peak of the sixth realm but unable to see hope for a breakthrough to the seventh realm. For his own strength, he was willing to work for Chu Yuan. With a wave, Chu Yuan dispersed the power, already knowing that the Lord of Death had been subdued by him. "What is the situation outside like now?" The Lord of Death finally asked. Jiuyou briefly informed the Lord of Death about external affairs. "To think the scenario has reached this point, I was indeed sealed for too long, unaware of the matters outside, the Divine Martial, the Divine Enthronement, and an Origin-achieving Dragon Ancestor. The ultimate battle of the multiverse is about to unfold." The Lord of Death said. Only now did he understand that Chu Yuan's true identity was the Divine Martial Emperor. What left him sighing was that the glory of the thirty-three heavens had faded, and their era was nearing its end. "Will I witness an even greater era?" The Lord of Death couldn't help but wonder. "Death, I know you, this time having been drained of so much power by the Faceless Man; the ultimate battle is imminent. Before that, I will restore your power to its peak." Chu Yuan waved his hand, and a divine coffin of life and death appeared before him!
