"You probably won't get that chance again."
The Sword Ancestor laughed heartily, his aged figure radiating sword qi that soared into the sky, traversing the universe with fervor. Although he didn't know what had happened outside, the Sword Ancestor was very clear that there must have been a significant upheaval in the Dark Clan.
For some reason, at that moment, the figure of Qin Chen flashed through the Sword Ancestor's mind.
"This matter is likely related to that kid."
The Sword Ancestor murmured, deep in thought.
And as the Sword Ancestor felt elated in his heart—
In the Dark Universe.
Deep within the endless Netherworld Star River, an ancient phantom opened its eyes.
It reached out its hand.
Scattered transcendent substances fell into its palm, melting away like snowflakes.
This was the master of the black market in the Dark Universe.
"Transcendent substance?"
Feeling the power in its palm, the black market master looked up in shock, staring into the depths of the Endless Void, astonished, "Could it be that a transcendent expert has fallen in the real world? This aura, could it belong to a master of the Dark Clan?"
Boom!
The phantom abruptly stood up, unable to contain itself any longer. It stepped forward and instantly disappeared from this realm.
At the same time, across the universe, every slumbering ancestor among the various races opened their eyes.
They were immensely shocked.
The fall of a transcendent expert was not only a substantial boon to the origin of the universe, but for the experts of this universe, it was also an opportunity.
Now that this universe had reached the end of an era, achieving transcendence was incredibly difficult. However, by comprehending these transcendent substances, they could gain a new understanding of the transcendence realm.
Including the Carefree Supreme, everyone was enveloped in this kind of transcendent substance.
In the depths of the Void Sea, that ancient phantom suddenly glanced at Qin Chen and then raised its hand abruptly.
Boom!
A terrifying source of transcendence surged out, instantly entering Qin Chen's body.
In an instant, Qin Chen felt a multitude of things added to his mind, and under this power, his physical body even felt a sense of impending transformation.
This was a portion of the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor's transcendent source, directly injected into Qin Chen's body by this mysterious phantom.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Qin Chen's body, propelling his cultivation from late-stage supreme into the pinnacle supreme realm in an instant, even faintly touching the transcendence realm.
How powerful is the source of a transcendent expert?
No one knew. Now, this mysterious phantom had merely injected a part of that source into Qin Chen, allowing his cultivation to leap from late-stage supreme to pinnacle supreme in an instant.
After all, the source of a transcendent expert was a powerful existence that could benefit the entire universe.
And if Qin Chen could completely absorb that source, to what realm could he rise?
At this moment, Qin Chen even felt the power within him continuously transforming, reaching pinnacle supreme, and even faintly touching the domain of transcendence.
However, the next moment, a divine emperor totem power surged from Qin Chen's body, suppressing the transcendent source.
"This transcendent source is the most refined part from the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor's body. I'm giving it to you, but with your current strength, you cannot fully absorb it. If you recklessly absorb it, it will not only be of no benefit to your future but will also cause significant harm."
The phantom spoke solemnly.
Qin Chen nodded.
He could also feel that if he forcibly refined this transcendent source, he would indeed touch the transcendence realm. However, his physical body would tend towards dark transformation, and he might even be subtly rejected by the origin of this universe.
After all, the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor was a transcendent of the Dark Clan, and his source was fundamentally incompatible with this universe.
