As an Emperor Lord, Ming Di's mental fortitude was unfathomable. It wasn't something that ordinary people could compare to. It was almost impossible for him to be shaken or confused.
But now, his spirit was shaken by Ye Xiwen's loud shout. This in itself was already incredible enough.
This also proved that Ming Di wasn't as nonchalant as he appeared on the surface. Ye Xiwen's aggressive attack had a huge psychological impact on him.
Even if it was just a trace, it was enough.
Of course, Ye Xiwen had broken through to the second realm in such a short period of time. This was also a huge deterrent to Ming Di. Back then, he had spent dozens of times more time to break through to the second realm than Ye Xiwen. Not to mention that his strength at the second realm was far inferior to Ye Xiwen's.
This was a huge blow to a powerhouse like him.
After all, they were all Sovereign Emperors. Who would admit defeat? In the same cultivation realm, who was weaker than the other? They would not easily admit defeat.
Although he couldn't return to the second realm to compete with Ye Xiwen, he could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself.
This was the real reason why his Dao Heart was shaken. He wasn't the strongest. This was the problem.
Emperor Lords were the strongest. No one would admit that they were inferior to others in the same realm.
"This is my chance!" Ye Xiwen instantly grasped this opportunity. This was the main reason why he said those words. He wanted to end the battle quickly and kill Ming Di.
Otherwise, even if Ye Xiwen had the confidence to kill Ming Di, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. Moreover, Ming Di wasn't the only threat in this world. That mysterious existence really made Ye Xiwen uneasy.
Normally, he wouldn't be afraid. But when fighting other Emperor Lords, he had to take this unstable factor into consideration. He couldn't ignore it.
Ye Xiwen attacked mercilessly. The Avici Sword slashed out, bursting with terrifying power. Everything happened in an instant.
"Boom!" Heaven and earth seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Time reversed and space collapsed. The two major elements that made up the universe had collapsed. There was no possibility of the universe existing anymore. Everything turned into chaos and blasted out.
This was the might of Ye Xiwen's all-out attack. Ordinary people simply didn't have such formidable strength. They couldn't even imagine it.
This strike had penetrated more than half of the Underworld Kingdom. If it wasn't for the fact that the Underworld Kingdom was a special place, this punch would have been enough to destroy an entire world.
When Ye Xiwen and Di Ni were fighting before, he didn't know how many of them were severely injured or destroyed.
This attack had taken advantage of Ming Di's weakness. It was only for a split second, but it was enough for Ye Xiwen.
Ming Di's expression changed. He regained his composure, but it was too late. Ye Xiwen's attack was already upon him. He hadn't expected Ye Xiwen to be so decisive.
A battle between Sovereign Emperors would only last for an instant.
Boom!
Ye Xiwen's sword fell on the Underworld Dao Sage Robe in an instant. An astonishing space-time annihilation appeared, and everything disappeared without a trace.
"Pu!"
Ming Di spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire body was sent flying. Ming Di roared, but there was nothing he could do. Ye Xiwen's sword was too strong. Although it hadn't cut through the Underworld Dao Sage Robe, the terrifying force of the collision had worsened his injuries.
There seemed to be many wounds on his body, and blood splattered everywhere, turning into a bloody mist.
If one was caught in an instant, one would be severely injured. This was the terror of a battle between Sovereign Emperors.
On the other side of Ye Xiwen, the Sky Flipping Seal came crashing down, smashing everything in front of him into pieces. It chased after Ming Di and smashed him viciously.
Peng!
Ming Di was sent flying once again. His body tore a huge rift in the cosmos.
"Seal!" Ye Xiwen shouted. Countless nomological laws froze at his command. The Seal nomological laws sealed off the surrounding space. Ming Di tried to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but he was also sealed.
Ye Xiwen let out a long howl and charged forward once again. His attacks were completely berserk. The series of attacks just now had severely injured Ming Di and aggravated his injuries. However, it wasn't enough to kill him in one go.
It was too difficult to truly kill a Sovereign Emperor. It wasn't something that could be accomplished with one strike. It would take many strikes.
But Ming Di had reconstructed himself and torn apart Ye Xiwen's seal. Ye Xiwen was a Sovereign Emperor and could command the nomological laws. Ming Di was also a Sovereign Emperor and naturally could do the same.
It wasn't surprising. Ming Di stared at his battered body as he retreated. He waved his halberd to block Ye Xiwen's next attack and tried to recover some of his cultivation. However, he suddenly realized that it was useless. Ye Xiwen's berserk attacks had completely destroyed the balance in his body.
He could no longer suppress the Dao injuries in his body. The injuries caused by the Lord of the Underworld all those years ago had finally begun to take his life.
Ming Di's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. In the end, it's still you who will take my life? My old friend.
"No, who do you think I am? I will never submit to anyone. No one can take my life!" Ming Di roared. His eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Ye Xiwen like a wounded beast. "Ye Xiwen, you will regret forcing me to this extent. No one can force me to this extent without paying a price. And that price is your life!"
"You can try!" Ye Xiwen's expression was still cold. However, he stopped his berserk attacks. He knew that his plan had succeeded. He had affected the dao injuries in Ming Di's body. All that was left was to watch Ming Di self-combust and die from his own injuries.
The only thing he had to be careful of was Ming Di's counterattack.
It could be said that the Lord of Underworld had perished many years ago. However, his actions were still influencing the current world. Therefore, it was possible for Ye Xiwen to kill Underworld Emperor.
"Ten moves. Ye Xiwen, I can finish you off in ten moves. If I can't finish you off, I will kill myself!" Ming Di roared.
"After ten moves? Can you still hold on until then? "Ye Xiwen could see Ming Di's final frenzy and the weakness in his bones.
"Yes, ten moves. I won't be able to hold on until then!" Ming Di could feel the speed at which his internal injuries were worsening. It was terrifying.
Countless years had passed. Ever since he had proven his dao, his life had never been threatened. Ever since he became an Emperor, no one had been able to threaten him. He was an Emperor Emperor. Who could threaten an Emperor Emperor?
At this moment, he felt that death, which he had chased away, was approaching him once again. Even an Emperor Emperor could not escape the fate of death. Only by mastering fate could one transcend.
He couldn't help but think of the legend that had been passed down among the Emperor Emperors. His pursuits were nothing in the face of fate. They were meaningless.
Perhaps, perhaps, in that instant, he regretted his actions. Perhaps, he shouldn't have been driven by greed to launch a sneak attack on the master of the Underworld.
But he was an Emperor Emperor after all. Even though he was afraid of dying, he had had enough of living for so many years.
At this moment, the Netherworld Emperor, who had been trying to prolong his existence, was gone. The invincible Great Emperor who had once called the wind and summoned the rain, who had fought with many rulers of the world of the living, had returned. In an instant, his lofty ambitions were awakened.
Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die a glorious death!
"Besides, I might not die. Ye Xiwen, your plan is too good!" Ming Di roared. "Things in this world aren't as perfect as you think!"
"Do you think I haven't thought of this? You want to kill me within ten moves, and then swallow my Sovereign's Source. Not only will you be able to recover from your injuries, but you'll also be able to reach a higher level. I've heard of this secret technique! "Ye Xiwen didn't panic. All of this was within his plans.
There were no secrets between him and Ye Qianqian. He had learned a lot of information about the Underworld Master's inheritance from Ye Qianqian, including the secret technique that Ming Di had obtained in his early years.
Although it was an incomplete secret technique that had severe side effects and could even affect their Dao foundations, it was still an extremely powerful and strange secret technique. As for where Ming Di had obtained this secret technique, it was not mentioned in the inheritance of the Lord of the Underworld. However, ever since it had obtained this secret technique, Ming Di had been like a madman, constantly lobbying the Lord of the Underworld to join forces with it to deal with the rulers outside. If it could kill one or two rulers and devour their essence, it would be equivalent to countless years of cultivation. It would save them countless years of time.
But the Underworld Master wasn't crazy. Naturally, he wouldn't agree to this idea. There were only two of them at most. There were so many Emperor Emperors outside. If they were discovered, they would face the crazy revenge of the Emperor Emperors outside. They wouldn't even know how they died.
Regarding this issue, even the Celestial Race and the allied forces of the various races would join forces to eliminate them. After all, no one wanted to become food in the eyes of others.
Not to mention the Emperor Emperors, who were the strongest and noblest existences in the world, couldn't bear it.
But the Underworld Master hadn't expected that the crazy Ming Di would actually target him. Even though the Underworld Master had self-immolated before he died and didn't leave any for Ming Di, it was still a reminder to Ye Xiwen.
This was already within Ye Xiwen's calculations.
"I didn't expect you to have heard of the Heaven Patching Technique. But it's useless. Even if you knew, you would still die!"
