"Unfortunately, you are now a dead man, left with only a remnant soul. Moreover, your Tuoba Clan has followed Young Master Chen too late; at most, it can be considered as a supporting role, unlike me, who at least is a minister of the dragon."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon shook his head. "Don't think that just because I am currently at the first layer of transcendence, I haven’t made my move yet. As long as I follow Young Master Chen, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely surpass transcendence. Unfortunately, you will not see that day."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon clapped Tuoba Ancestor's shoulder with a sigh, looking quite regretful.
Tuoba Ancestor's expression froze.
He turned to look at the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and saw a stream of primordial power slowly flowing within him, confirming that he was indeed at the first layer of transcendence, and it seemed he had just recently advanced to this level.
For someone like him, seeing a third layer of transcendence should be terrifying. After all, whether it was Tuoba Xiongba or the Abyssal Manor Lord, both at the pinnacle of the second layer of transcendence, they had shown him respect and dared not be the slightest bit arrogant.
But this guy before him...
Tuoba Ancestor couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
A first layer of transcendence who showed no fear towards him left only two possibilities. One, the other was a reckless fool who didn't understand the hierarchy of power; two, the other had seen the figures behind Qin Chen. After all, someone who had encountered many great figures would naturally not be afraid of a third layer of transcendence like him.
Given the fact that the other party had progressed to the first layer of transcendence, the possibility of being a fool was almost nonexistent, so only the second possibility remained.
Tuoba Ancestor looked at Qin Chen, silently making a decision in his heart.
Just as his thoughts deepened, suddenly, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "However, this issue is not hard to resolve. Although you are gone, I am still here. As a third layer of transcendence, you must have hidden quite a few good things, right? If you could give me some, you know what I mean."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon rubbed his hands together.
Tuoba Ancestor: "..."
Boom!
At that moment, a violent tremor shook the heavens and the earth, and everyone quickly looked up to see the ancient palace that had quietly stood here suddenly starting to spin wildly. Waves of terrifying abyssal energy surged out crazily, instantly enveloping the Abyssal Manor Lord before them.
"Ah!"
The Abyssal Manor Lord screamed in pain, his entire being suspended in mid-air, enveloped by strange abyssal energies. The ancient palace, rotating violently, revealed countless strange runes that flowed incessantly. On one of the faces of the palace, the runes transformed into an ancient face, and that ancient face's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Abyssal Forbidden Area emitted cracking sounds, and the surrounding void trembled. The vast void surged as if boiling water was bubbling over, a terrifying force centered around the ancient palace and swept towards all directions.
Puh!
In a split second, everyone was thrown back, and under this impact, those with weaker cultivation, such as the demon god of chaos, spewed blood on the spot, their expressions filled with horror as they looked ahead.
"Ah!"
The Abyssal Manor Lord writhed in agony as threads of abyssal energy surged into his body. As a being at the pinnacle of the second layer of transcendence, he now had a distorted expression, as if enduring endless pain. His flesh emitted cracking sounds, like fragile porcelain about to be shattered.
"Lord of the Manor!"
Sky Severing Divine Sovereign and others exclaimed in fear.
"Father!"
Fang Mu Ling also cried out in terror, and in her anxiety, she moved to rush forward to help, but was suddenly stopped by Qin Chen.
