At this moment, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor was fighting desperately.
Burning his source was akin to a method that would harm himself while injuring the enemy—if he killed Qin Chen, he would also suffer heavy injuries, requiring countless years to repair the damaged source.
But he had no choice. Heiyu Ancestor Emperor understood very well that if he did not fight desperately now, he would certainly die here. After all, once the distant path divine sovereign was dead, he alone could not withstand the attacks from Qin Chen and the demon god of chaos.
If before he had a chance to escape when he was at a disadvantage, now surrounded by so many Divine Owls, even if he burned his source and sacrificed half his life to escape, he would likely still die amidst countless Divine Owls.
Currently, the only hope for survival lay in joining forces with the distant path divine sovereign.
"Heiyu Ancestor Emperor, have you gone mad?"
Qin Chen said in a deep voice, "There’s no need to act anymore."
He shifted his form, activating his spatial divine ability, causing his figure to blur. With a loud bang, the place where Qin Chen had been standing was directly exploded by Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attack; however, Qin Chen had already flashed to another location.
"I’ll act for you, you bastard."
Heiyu Ancestor Emperor charged at Qin Chen frantically, and the terrifying source attacks swept in. He was indeed fighting with all his might.
"Distant path divine sovereign, do you still not believe me?"
As the source burned wildly, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attacks were nearly suicidal, forcing Qin Chen to respond with all his strength. Fortunately, his mastery of space was exceptionally terrifying, and he had already anticipated Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attacks. After dodging multiple times, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attacks did not manage to harm him in the slightest.
The distant path divine sovereign observed Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's desperate appearance and couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that Heiyu Ancestor Emperor really wasn’t in league with the enemy?
He couldn’t shake off the doubt in his heart. Burning the source was no trivial matter; it had massive side effects. Now, the enemy clearly had the upper hand—was it really necessary to go to such lengths for an act?
In truth, he had sensed something was off earlier, but he had no time to ponder it.
"Distant path divine sovereign, hurry and make your move. Let’s break out together, or you and I will die here today."
Seeing the Divine Owls closing in, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor felt anxious.
He was already burning his source; did the distant path divine sovereign still refuse to believe him?
Seeing Heiyu Ancestor Emperor’s desperate state, the distant path divine sovereign felt a stir in his heart. The next moment, with a swoosh, he darted over, opening the eye of divine path to quickly observe his surroundings.
Regardless of whether the other party was acting or not, launching a distant attack would definitely not be a mistake. As long as they weren’t caught off guard, what harm was there in playing along?
Upon seeing the distant path divine sovereign approaching, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor let out a sigh of relief; all he needed was for the other to believe him.
If the two of them joined forces, there might still be a chance of survival.
Feeling relieved, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attacks naturally softened, and the burning source slightly retracted.
After all, burning the source consumed too much of himself.
Sensing his attacks weakening, Qin Chen's gaze suddenly brightened. The next moment, he activated his spatial body and faced Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's strike without any avoidance, allowing the attack to hit him directly.
In the eyes of the distant path divine sovereign, Heiyu Ancestor Emperor struck Qin Chen, and with a loud bang, the terrifying dark power instantly enveloped Qin Chen.
Under the onslaught of the dark power, Qin Chen operated his spatial divine body, channeling an astonishing amount of spatial power. He raised his physical strength to the utmost and urged the dark source within him to resist Heiyu Ancestor Emperor's attack fiercely.
