Blood shot out from the chest of Ink Cloud Ancient Wall, splattering across the world and taking away the warmth.
Time seemed to stop in the entire universe, with everyone frozen in shock, as if struck by lightning, resembling clay puppets, completely motionless.
Shock!
Incredulity!
The impact sent goosebumps rippling through everyone, their bodies covered with cold sweats.
“I... I...”
Ink Cloud Ancient Wall stared blankly at his opened chest, a slender, fair hand appeared before him, holding the heart of a great emperor that was pulsating and emanating an endless aura of terror.
It was indeed his own heart of the great emperor.
Whoosh!
The large hand retracted.
Puh!
Just like a punctured balloon, the overwhelming power within Ink Cloud Ancient Wall dissipated in an instant, retreating like a receding tide, rendering him powerless and completely cold.
“You!” Ink Cloud Ancient Wall turned in terror, struggling to gaze at Qin Chen in the distance. The pitch-black heart of the great emperor appeared in Qin Chen's palm, radiating dazzling brilliance, which revealed endless disbelief in Ink Cloud Ancient Wall's eyes.
His own heart of the great emperor was so easily extracted?
It was too absurd!
At this moment, Southern Origin City was silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Qin Chen, unable to hear anything around them, their eyes fixated on the pulsating, pitch-black heart of the great emperor in Qin Chen’s hand, profoundly shaking each person's heart.
Half-step divine emperor!
A powerhouse at the half-step divine emperor level, who had almost sacrificed the entire Southern Origin City, had just been heartlessly robbed.
After the shock, an endless fear tightened the hearts of everyone present, as if their hearts were about to be ripped out alongside Ink Cloud Ancient Wall's heart of the great emperor, causing immense pain.
“You... me... impossible... how... how did you do it?”
An endless aura of death dissipated from Ink Cloud Ancient Wall, his aura instantly plummeting to the late-stage great emperor realm, unable to believe everything that had just transpired.
“Just extracting a heart, is there any difficulty in that?” Qin Chen casually toyed with Ink Cloud Ancient Wall's heart of the great emperor, as if effortlessly picking an apple from a fruit platter.
Furthermore, his spiritual sense had already infiltrated the heart of the great emperor, rumbling, exposing the primordial power of the laws that Ink Cloud Ancient Wall had cultivated through countless epochs under Qin Chen's gaze.
“Darkness, space, death, Netherworld, chaos—these are your primordial powers?”
Within the heart of Ink Cloud Ancient Wall, Qin Chen sensed the numerous powers of the laws that Ink Cloud Ancient Wall had accumulated on his journey.
“The origin of the Underworld Emperor!”
Having once received the inheritance of the Underworld Emperor, Qin Chen confirmed that the source of the underworld laws possessed by Ink Cloud Ancient Wall and the Saint of the Western Yu indeed stemmed from the former Underworld Emperor.
“It seems that the fall of Emperor of Void Annihilation was indeed orchestrated by Ink Cloud Ancient Wall and the Saint of the Western Yu, but I wonder if there are other deeper forces involved?” Qin Chen's gaze flickered.
The battle between the Underworld and the cosmic sea was actually instigated by the Hidden Darkness Emperor under the influence of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and a mysterious powerhouse from the Abyssal Clan and the cosmic sea.
This incident was also related to Sisi's mother, the Underworld Dark Moon Empress's disappearance, forcing the Underworld Deity to descend into the Abyss and trapping her within it.
One link led to another.
This war was not merely a confrontation between the two sides of yin and yang within the cosmic sea; it was not just the Underworld's desire to gain the origin of the yang realm to break through and become a perfect world. It was also not solely about the world of the living needing the origin of the underworld to achieve the unity of yin and yang.
