The stone door before them was opened while the stone entry before the Emperor was tightly sealed. With a heavy push, the stone slab rumbled and broke into a thin gap.
An onrushing wave of deathly chill swept upon them like a broken dam, passing through their bodies and sending shivers of dread that shook even their Vital Spirits. Meng Qi's body glowed in a faint gold, his Eight-Nine Mysteries technique rose to his defense as the sweeping wave rocked him hard.
Silent and still Ye Yuqi remained despite the trampling surge that had unsettled Meng Qi. Blankly, she watched the Emperor of the Netherworld, now looking luminous as a pale apparition, as he slipped through the thin gap and vanished.
She stepped forward, passing through the Merciless Tyrant and Slayer Yaksha into the opened stone door before them. Another stone door loomed ahead.
