Boom!
At the moment when the heart of the great emperor appeared in Qin Chen's hand, all shadows in the Endless Void quickly scattered like dust in the wind. Only one terrified figure abruptly stopped, staring blankly at his chest.
Above his chest, a gigantic black hole emerged, and the heart of the great emperor had vanished without a trace.
"What... how did my heart of the great emperor disappear?"
In that instant, the shadow felt an overwhelming terror, chills running down his spine, and a cold sweat broke out. Without him even noticing, his heart of the great emperor had disappeared—such a method was simply unheard of.
"Still trying to hide?"
Saroya's massive hand reached out, instantly capturing the shadow and bringing him in front of Qin Chen.
"Hmm, this heart of the great emperor is quite interesting."
As Qin Chen sensed the heart of the great emperor in his hand, he became contemplative. Within this heart, he felt the fusion of two different paths—one resembling Shadow One's path of ten thousand shadows, and another similar to the formless path like flowing water.
The fusion of these two paths of light had formed the terrifying evasion technique of this shadow.
"This Sky Outside Tower has some real skills."
Qin Chen nodded slightly.
Using the heart as a mirror, one can understand the path.
By observing each heart of the great emperor, Qin Chen gained deeper insights and enhancements into the functioning of the paths in this cosmic sea.
If he had to rely solely on his own painstaking comprehension and training, it was hard to say how long it would have taken him to understand these concepts.
At that moment, everyone was shocked, unable to calm down as they watched the terrifying heart of the great emperor, pulsating with black luminescence in Qin Chen's hand.
They all wondered if they could evade the heart snatching technique if they were in his position.
Beside them, the steward of the Eternal Pavilion felt a shiver. His strength was about the same as that of the shadow, and had Qin Chen performed this heart snatching technique on him earlier, he might have been unable to dodge it.
"Master." The steward of the Eternal Pavilion nervously looked at the master beside him, "Sky Outside Tower is a subordinate force of Heaven Beyond Heaven, the top force in the cosmic sea. Heaven Beyond Heaven has always been domineering; does Qin Chen not fear their retaliation for acting against them?"
The master of the Eternal Pavilion squinted, her soft, rosy tongue lightly licking her lips as she said, "Redirecting the disaster to the east, the city lord’s mansion intends to have Qin Chen clash with Heaven Beyond Heaven."
"Ah?" The steward of the Eternal Pavilion was taken aback.
The master of the Eternal Pavilion glanced at him, "After all, Southern Origin City is controlled by the Mo Yun Noble Family. Over the years, our top forces in the cosmic sea have set up branches in Southern Origin City, and we have interfered in their affairs quite a bit."
"Especially that Sky Outside Tower, relying on the backing of Heaven Beyond Heaven, regularly conducts assassinations in Southern Origin City. The city lord's mansion has long been displeased with them but has not acted out of fear of their strong connections."
"Now, with Qin Chen and Yerosha before us, one is arrogant, and the other hails from the Komodo Beast Clan. Sky Outside Tower is actively seeking trouble, and the city lord's mansion is taking this opportunity to let both sides clash."
"In that case, whether Sky Outside Tower suffers or Qin Chen and Yerosha do, the city lord's mansion can watch the clams fight and reap the benefits."
Upon hearing this, the steward of the Eternal Pavilion hurriedly bowed, expressing admiration, "Master, you truly are astute, instantly seeing through the city lord's mansion's scheme. Truly a blessing for our Eternal Pavilion."
The master of the Eternal Pavilion shot him a glance, "So obvious, and you couldn't see it?"
"Ah? Is it that obvious?" The steward scratched his head, "Perhaps old servant is dull-witted; if it weren't for the master’s reminder, I might still be in the dark."
