Martial Master

His breath was suffocating.

He gazed with blood-red eyes, swiftly forming hand seals. An invisible power spread from his body, merging with the great formation below, instantly enveloping the numerous primordial essences he had released.

These primordial essences were originally refined by Kāluó Underworld Ancestor, intended to integrate into the formation to break the mystic pattern restrictions in this great hall.

But at this moment, under the control of Kāluó Underworld Ancestor, these primordial essences began to rapidly return.

At the same time, numerous blood-black root-like tentacles suddenly shot out from Kāluó Underworld Ancestor’s body. These tentacles slithered like agile poisonous snakes, their sharp tips penetrating the numerous primordial essences in an instant, in full view of all.

Gush, gush, gush!

The primordial essences began to undulate slowly, and terrifying primordial aura surged into Kāluó Underworld Ancestor’s body along the root-like tentacles.

“Boom!”

In the next moment, an astonishing imperial aura erupted from Kāluó Underworld Ancestor’s body, suppressing the surrounding space.

A great emperor!

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, an invisible imperial aura enveloped them, forcing everyone to bend at the waist under its immense pressure.

“Great Emperor, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor is breaking through to the great emperor realm.”

“He’s absorbing these primordial essences, forcefully breaking through to the imperial realm.”

“This is bad; we absolutely cannot let him succeed.”

Weary Dragon Ghost Ancestor and others were tightly suppressed by Kāluó Underworld Ancestor’s power, expressions filled with dread.

The great emperor realm.

This was almost the most supreme realm in the Underworld.

Currently, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor was merely at the quasi-emperor realm. If everyone joined forces, perhaps they could suppress him. But once Kāluó Underworld Ancestor broke through to the great emperor realm, it would all be over; even if they all banded together, they would not be able to harm him in the slightest.

Because great emperors and transcendent beings were simply not on the same level.

“Hahahaha.”

At this moment, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor was enveloped in endless imperial aura, as numerous primordial essences from the heavens and earth rapidly fused into his body, causing his aura to soar wildly.

His eyes were fierce, fixed on Qin Chen, and he snarled, “Kid, this is what you forced me to do. Originally, these primordial essences were for this ancestor to break the mystic pattern restrictions here. Now, I can only be forced to devour them. Even if you snatch away the four quasi-emperor treasures, what does it matter? This formation was laid out by this ancestor with countless efforts back in the day. Once I break through to the great emperor realm, I will definitely tear you apart!”

Boom!

Kāluó Underworld Ancestor’s face twisted in pain as he roared in fury.

Because in his original plan, now was not the best time for him to break through to the great emperor realm.

The best time would be after he had eliminated Qin Chen, then controlled Weary Dragon Ghost Ancestor and all others, using their divine souls to suppress the Emperor of Beginning Charm.

Then, through the mystic pattern restrictions, sacrifice the divine soul of the Emperor of Beginning Charm, exposing her imperial origin, and finally combine it with the four symbols divine soul great formation to refine her origin, comprehending the imperial intent. After gaining a deeper understanding of the emperor realm, he would begin to break through.

With such arrangements, whether it was the astonishing primordial essence required for his breakthrough or the imperial intent he needed to comprehend, there would be references and guidance. This was his best opportunity to break through to the great emperor realm.

But now, under Qin Chen’s suppression, he had no choice but to forcefully advance his breakthrough. This not only reduced the probability of success; even if he were to succeed by a stroke of luck, it would leave an indelible hidden injury.
