“Ah!” At this moment, a massive amount of power surged into Qin Chen's body, causing him to let out a painful roar.
The pain was unbearable.
It felt as if countless scalding steel needles were stabbing him madly, or like being cut apart by sharp blades over and over again. The intense agony pushed even someone like Qin Chen to the edge, twisting his face in anguish.
It was a torment like never before.
Qin Chen's flesh was spasming.
The dark power was a force from another world, and now that Qin Chen had mastered the dark king blood, he could indeed absorb dark power. Previously, while in the Black Jade Continent, he had absorbed the dark primordial power from several major dark factions.
But that was merely a fraction of the dark primordial power.
However, this place was the main entrance of the invasion from the Dark Continent years ago. It was rumored that on the other side lay a forbidden area within the Dark Continent, where the endless dark power filled the entire mirror world. The sheer quantity and intensity of this power was beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
Even someone as strong as the High Priest would not dare to absorb dark power in such a location.
Only Qin Chen, who possessed dark king blood, could attempt such a feat.
In addition to dark power, there was also a vast amount of power from the River of the Origin of Demons present here. The combination of these two forces was something that an ordinary person could never endure.
“Ah!”
Qin Chen howled, his flesh continually shattering.
Such a scene was terrifying; countless blood mist swirled around him, and he instantly transformed into a being of blood.
Yet, he gritted his teeth and persevered, for he knew all too well that he was still far too weak.
He needed to grow stronger.
He needed to become even stronger.
Only by getting stronger could he protect those he wanted to protect.
This mirror world was both a crisis and an opportunity for him.
Only in a place filled with endless power could his cultivation advance further.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Under the watchful eyes of all, Qin Chen's body continued to emit explosive sounds as it shattered, forcibly devouring dark power and the power from the River of the Origin of Demons.
What a crazy thing this was!
Not far away, Sisi clenched her fists, feeling Qin Chen's pain and the turmoil within his heart as he worked desperately for their sake.
Boom! A kaleidoscopic energy erupted from within Sisi’s body, and the entire power of the River of the Origin of Demons began to surge.
Shangguan Wan'er also went all out in her transcendence, allowing strands of power to merge into this world, trying to alleviate Qin Chen's suffering.
In the distance, with a loud bang, the High Priest activated the altar, causing countless dark runes to bloom and sending the ten-tailed phantom fox flying.
The High Priest scoffed, “The ancient chaos demon god is nothing but this.”
“Hmph, if it weren't for this seat being weakened for so many years, would you dare to humiliate me?”
The ten-tailed phantom fox's expression darkened, her gaze icy.
Although she had regained her cultivation after obtaining her last tail, she was still as weak as the primordial ancestor dragon, unable to return to her peak state from her past life.
Having been weak for so long, how could she recover to her peak in an instant?
It was truly a case of a tiger falling to the plains being bullied by dogs.
The High Priest glanced at Qin Chen not far away, a hint of disdainful amusement on his lips. “I thought this kid was going to do something, but he actually wants to directly devour the power here to break through. Ridiculous! If the power in this mirror world was that easy to absorb, would this kid even have a chance to take it?
I would have absorbed it all long ago.”
“Dark power and the power from the River of the Origin of Demons are forces from two different worlds. We, the inhabitants of this universe, although we can control some dark power after being recognized by the Dark Clan, it’s only through external means and cannot be absorbed directly to become our own power.”
