In the Linyuan Sacred Gate, countless people looked up at the sky, filled with immense shock.
They all unleashed their powerful divine senses to investigate, wanting to know what was happening and why the sky above their Linyuan Sacred Gate had suddenly cracked open, nearly causing their sect to explode.
However, no matter how they searched, they found nothing.
In the Dark Universe, Qin Chen was also dumbfounded. His sword strike had directly annihilated three layers of void, stirring the forces within the Dark Universe. Dimly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the vast Netherworld Star River deep within the Dark Universe.
From that Netherworld Star River, it seemed that several powerful auras were rapidly approaching.
These auras were extremely thick and although they were far away, they emanated a heart-pounding presence.
"Qin Chen, supreme warriors are coming."
The voice of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon immediately reached him.
"There are supreme beings in the Netherworld Star River?"
Qin Chen felt those several forces as well, and couldn't help but frown.
He had once entered the black market on the Myriad Races Battlefield, but even though there were many strong individuals there, most of them were merely human venerable or earth venerable, with heavenly venerable being rare.
In Qin Chen's understanding, the black market was supposed to be a special underground market for the ten thousand clans located within the Dark Universe, but there weren't many true powerhouses.
But at this moment, when he sensed the rapidly approaching supreme auras, Qin Chen instantly realized that he had severely underestimated the terror of the Dark Universe.
Because as those supreme warriors closed in, for some reason, a sense of unease suddenly surged within Qin Chen.
This feeling of unease was something he had never experienced even when facing a mid-stage supreme expert.
"Strange, why do I feel a hint of danger? Is there something in the Dark Universe that poses a threat to me?"
Qin Chen glanced around. The power from the sword strike he had unleashed was slowly dissipating, and the void of the Dark Universe was also gradually mending itself, with the cracked opening being slowly restored.
"This commotion was indeed too great; I should leave this place first. Otherwise, if the opening heals, I don’t know if I can carve through the Dark Universe again."
The sword strike earlier had been infused with many essences from the Linyuan Sacred Gate. If he continued to stay in the Dark Universe and the opening healed, Qin Chen had no idea if he could reopen the rift.
Even if he could, he didn't know if he would be able to return to the Linyuan Sacred Gate. If he couldn't return, it would be a problem.
"Go!"
Qin Chen took one last look around, not bothering to think too much, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
Boom! As soon as Qin Chen left, the forces within the Dark Universe surged, and the opening he had carved was instantaneously restored, as if nothing had ever happened.
Not long after Qin Chen had just departed, several figures suddenly descended upon the location.
If Qin Chen had remained, he would have noticed that these figures were quite strange; they radiated a deathly aura, seeming as though they had been dead for many years.
Yet, the aura they possessed was extraordinarily terrifying, each bursting forth with astonishing power, all being supreme warriors, with the leader not weaker than the mid-stage Linyuan Supreme and among the best of the mid-stage supreme.
As soon as these individuals appeared, they scanned their surroundings quickly, their eyes shooting out fierce auras.
"What exactly happened here just now?"
"Supreme-level power?"
"Could it be that a supreme from the ten thousand clans has intruded into this place?"
"This power is very peculiar; it doesn't resemble ordinary supreme power. Moreover, even if a supreme-level expert from the ten thousand clans entered the Dark Universe, we would definitely have noticed and they wouldn’t appear here without reason."
