At this time, Qin Lang suddenly understood what the Underworld Earth Supreme meant by the true and pure power of death. Just as the Underworld Supreme had said, death itself was a type of power, and a very powerful one at that. This was because every living being was constantly attracted by the power of death from birth. The process of growth was the process of approaching death. This process would probably go through a process of neglect, disdain, understanding, desire, and fear.
When a living being was just born, they would not think about death because their life force would be extremely vigorous, so they would disdain the power of death. When a living being entered the prime of their youth, they would naturally not fear death and would even dare to challenge it and take all kinds of risks. When a living being reached middle age and began to "understand their destiny", they would understand the existence of death when they saw the living beings around them dying. When a living being entered old age, their body and mind would start to feel weak and painful, and they would instead desire to be taken away by the God of Death to end this pain. However, when they reached the final moments of their lives, they would fear death and be unwilling to give up their lives.
Although every living being would experience this process, no living being could escape the attraction and restraint of the power of death. In the end, they would be taken away by the power of death. The power of death was an important and indispensable part of the cycle of life and death.
As for what the True Lord of the Underworld Earth had said about death itself being a kind of power, Qin Lang had not understood the meaning behind it at first. However, after Qin Lang's will entered the Stainless Underworld Earth, he quickly understood why death itself was a kind of power.
No matter what kind of living being, no matter where they lived, no matter what cultivation realm they reached, no matter how powerful their forces were, they would always be "found" by death. Moreover, death could corrode all sturdy bodies, all beautiful faces, and all powerful protective magic treasures. In short, no living being could escape death!
It could slowly corrode life like dripping water piercing through a stone, or it could harvest life like a violent storm or a landslide, or it could bury life like the fall of the universe …
This was the power of death!
Death itself was a type of power!
Moreover, it was a type of power that could not be resisted or avoided.
Even if it was an era's overlord that surpassed the laws of the universe and the will of the heavens, breaking through the limits of time, space, and lifespan, they could not escape the restraint of the power of death.
Thus, the Supreme of the Underworld Earth's words were absolutely correct. Death itself was a type of power! As the Overlord of Death, Qin Lang should possess the strongest power of death — Original Death Saint Energy!
Qin Lang had indeed missed out on many resources. Only when his will entered the Stainless Underworld Earth did he truly realize this point. The Stainless Underworld Earth was the origin of the Underworld Earth in countless universes and spacetime. It was also the origin of death. It was difficult for anyone to escape death, and it was also difficult for any lifeform to escape death.
Why was death so powerful, so mysterious, and it wouldn't let anyone go? It was because the power of death was everywhere, the cycle of life and death was everywhere.
The Unsullied Underworld Soil was the origin of death energy. The reason it was called the "Unsullied Underworld Soil" was because the death energy here was primitive and pure. It had not been affected by any external forces. There was no good or evil in the power of death, nor was there any evil to speak of. Although every living being did not want to face death, if one carefully thought about it, death was an existence that could not be avoided. Where there was life, there was death. There was no doubt about this.
Qin Lang's will entered the Unsullied Underworld Earth and felt the impact of the power of death. However, this impact of the power of death was not meant to kill or injure Qin Lang. It was merely cleansing Qin Lang's mind, will, and physical body so that Qin Lang could become the true Overlord of Death as soon as possible, the true ruler of the Unsullied Underworld Earth.
After being cleansed by the power of death, Qin Lang felt the power of the word "Original Death" in his body continuously increase. He was like a fish in water, like a dragon returning to the sea. And because the power of Qin Lang's "Original Death" and "Original Sage" characters had fused together, the two types of Original Death energies were simultaneously increasing in strength. This caused Qin Lang to approach the level of the Overlord of Death.
Seeing this scene, even True Lord of the Underworld Earth secretly nodded. Although Qin Lang was a little weak as the Overlord of Death, his comprehension ability and speed of improvement were rather shocking. He safely surpassed True Lord of the Underworld Earth's expectations of him.
Qin Lang did not have the time to consider True Lord of the Underworld Earth's judgment of him. At this time, after Qin Lang's will had fused with the Unsullied Underworld Earth, his understanding of the power of death was completely different from before. Moreover, after his will fused with the power of death, Qin Lang discovered that his vision had also improved. He was no longer a "low-level lifeform". This was because the power of death was not limited by low-level and high-level existential planes. As long as the power of death could reach a place, it would also be a place that Qin Lang's vision could reach. In this way, Qin Lang's vision was naturally not limited to low-level existential planes. He could completely follow the power of death to some high-level existential planes.
So what if he was a creature from a high-level existential plane? Perhaps they could resist death, but they could not defeat it!
"So that's how it is!" A wave of understanding surged in Qin Lang's heart. His perception and understanding of the power of death had increased by who knew how much. Moreover, at this time, Qin Lang also understood why the wills of people like Zhan Jingtian and Great Emperor Wuji could descend into low-level existential planes. They must have done it through the power of the word "Dao" in their bodies. This was because the physical body would be restricted by the Eternal Heavenly Roulette, but the willpower could use the power of the Origin to reach many places that the physical body could not.
"Overlord of Death, congratulations on becoming the true ruler of the Unsullied Underworld." True Lord of the Underworld Earth, Qin Lang, said with a hint of admiration and respect in his tone. This bit of admiration and respect was, of course, earned by Qin Lang's own strength. If Qin Lang did not have such strength, even the title of Overlord of Death would be useless.
"You're too polite. Thank you for your guidance," Qin Lang said to True Lord of the Underworld Earth.
"I was originally the protector of this place, and I also serve the Overlord of Death," True Lord of the Underworld Earth said. "However, because the Overlord of Death hasn't appeared for a long time, a lot of the power of death in the Unsullied Underworld has leaked out. This is the power of death from the source. It is incomparably precious and very difficult to replenish. I hope that the Overlord of Death can bring this power of death back. At the very least, you must punish those cultivators who took away the power of death from the source! "
