Martial Master

“You think such a simple mechanism can stump this Emperor? Good, good, this Emperor will show you how to break it!”

In the midst of his frustration, the big black cat instantly darted into the passage.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Everyone immediately felt several invisible forces sweep by. The power was extremely secretive yet terrifying. Blood Hand King even had the feeling that if he were to be caught by that power, he would definitely die in an instant.

However, the big black cat seemed to be hidden in the void. Those forces merely brushed past it and could not harm it in the slightest.

“This is... the power of space?”

Qin Chen had entered the path through the realm of Spatial Law, surpassing the Martial King. His vision was naturally not something Blood Hand King could compare to. He vaguely sensed that the reason the big black cat was unharmed was likely due to some unique spatial power it had utilized.

Crack!

As he pondered, he saw the big black cat arrive at the side of a stone wall in the middle of the corridor and slap it with a paw.

Boom!

A violent rumble ensued, and everyone felt the ground shake.

“Alright, the mechanism has stopped!”

Immediately after, the proud voice of the big black cat sounded, then it directly landed on the corridor, no longer avoiding anything, and walked boldly inside.

“That attacking force seems to have truly disappeared!”

Seeing the big black cat pass through the entire corridor without triggering any more attacks, everyone was left dumbfounded.

This big black cat indeed had some skill; it actually broke the entire mechanism.

Although they did not know how Ding Qianqiu and the others had passed through earlier, the mechanism had still been active, indicating that they had been unable to shut it down completely. This was a presence that had gathered the top forces from seven major kingdoms and the Alchemy Pavilion among other powerful factions, yet they had not managed to break this mechanism.

And this big black cat casually stopped it?

Is this for real?

“Since the mechanism has stopped, let’s go in.”

With the vague sense of danger dissipated, Qin Chen knew that the mechanism had indeed come to a halt. He stepped into the corridor while also touching the wall beside him.

Buzz!

His soul power dispersed, and because the mechanism had stopped functioning, the scenery inside was clearly presented in Qin Chen's mind.

“What an intricate mechanism!”

Feeling the various setups within the stone wall, Qin Chen gasped in surprise.

The designs inside were exceptionally profound, giving Qin Chen a sense of enlightenment as if he had glimpsed a brand new world.

“In terms of true structure, this mechanism's technique may not be much stronger than the ancient mechanical arts passed down in the martial realm, but the innovative concept behind this setup is much more novel.”

With just a glance, Qin Chen discerned the essence of this mechanism technique and felt a sense of clarity.

Having understood the structure of this mechanism technique, Qin Chen exhaled deeply. If asked to crack this mechanism now, he wouldn’t need to go through the hassle like the big black cat did by entering the passage. He could simply stand outside and directly dismantle it.

This was from the perspective of a mechanism master.

The method used by the big black cat was more like breaking through the essence of the material, tackling it from the core.

For example, to turn off a lamp, his method would be to directly switch off the switch at the entrance, and the lamp would naturally go out.

Whereas the big black cat's approach was to directly damage the core of the circuit, thus turning it off.

Its method was actually more challenging.

Ceasing his exploration, Qin Chen walked through the corridor while observing the back of the big black cat, deep in thought.

Seeing that Qin Chen was fine, Blood Hand King and Fu Xingcheng hurriedly followed behind.

Moments later, the three of them had passed through the long corridor.

What appeared in front of them was a spacious hall.
