The black chains were incredibly agile and contained astonishing pressure. With each swing, they produced sonic booms in the void, causing even the formidable Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor to become flustered and fall into chaos.
If it weren't for his possession of the scythe of the lord of death, a treasure of immense value, he might not have been able to gain much advantage beneath these black chains.
Yet even so, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor found himself in a tight spot, constantly dodging and countering.
"Damn it."
He was furious, his anger reaching a boiling point. As one of the seven underworld generals under the renowned Emperor of the Underworld, he found himself unable to deal with a mere chain, losing all face.
How would he face the Blood Demon Ancestor and the others in the future?
"Get lost!"
With a roar, a brilliant black light erupted from above his head, and faintly, everyone could see a Skeleton Crystal materializing within his skull, radiating colorful brilliance that merged with the scythe of the lord of death in his hands.
With a clang, the aura of the scythe surged violently, striking down on the black chains with great force. The chains recoiled instantly, as if struck at a vital point.
"Hmm?"
In the formation, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor frowned.
"The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor truly lives up to his reputation as a subordinate of the Emperor of the Underworld. He is indeed difficult to deal with. That Skeleton Crystal must be a significant treasure imbued with special power, capable of resisting even this ancestor's chains."
Kāluó Underworld Ancestor's gaze darkened.
Meanwhile, the weary dragon ghost ancestor and the others in the formation were overjoyed to see the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor successfully repel a chain, excitement evident on their faces.
So far, none of them had been able to withstand the penetration of these black chains; the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was the first, boosting their confidence dramatically.
"Go, Lord Ten Thousand Bones!"
The Ancestor of the Void Crocodile could hardly contain his excitement as he shouted.
"Hmph."
Seeing the joy on the faces of the weary dragon ghost ancestor and the others, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor snorted coldly, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth as his icy gaze fell on Qin Chen not far away.
"That kid was too cautious earlier, unwilling to control the formation, so he failed to trap him. Otherwise, if he were within my formation, how could the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor possibly escape?"
Kāluó Underworld Ancestor's expression darkened, but there was no sign of anxiety in his brows: "Unfortunately, even outside the formation, he won't escape my suppression."
"Go!"
With the thought planted, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor let out a sharp cry. He raised his hand, and with a series of booming sounds, several black chains exploded from the swirling vortex, crashing down violently toward the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor.
"Shit!"
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was taken aback.
Having barely dealt with one chain, how could he handle several?
In the face of danger, he instinctively raised the scythe of the lord of death in defense. The next instant, with a deafening boom, the multiple chains struck down upon the scythe like lightning.
The violent impact caused a fierce black halo to swirl around the scythe, and an overwhelming force knocked the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor backward, causing the space behind him to explode.
Hmph!
He let out a muffled grunt, feeling a surge of primal energy within him, nearly spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
But he held it in, maintaining the aura of a strong fighter.
"Damn it, this is troublesome."
On the surface, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor appeared calm, but inside, he was extremely anxious. These black chains were terrifying, and he was not at his peak state. With his current strength, he was struggling to withstand them.
