Boom!
The terrifying power of the shadow clan ancestor's avatar self-destructing was like a cosmic explosion, fiercely impacting Qin Chen.
That intense shockwave sent Qin Chen flying, as if he were being crushed by the force of a neutron star from all directions.
Creak!
Qin Chen felt as though he had entered a high-pressure cooker, with an overwhelming force squeezing his body, and that dreadful shock felt like flames lapping at him, instantly eroding at least several thousand hairs on his body.
In some areas, it was even completely bare.
“What terrifying corrosive power! Such a shock force indicates that the self-explosion was definitely not from an ordinary avatar. This avatar must contain at least one-tenth of the primordial power of the shadow clan ancestor,” Qin Chen thought, sensing the intensity of the shock wave.
In the face of such a horrifying impact, Qin Chen could only watch helplessly as the shadow clan ancestor escaped from this place, all the while locking his gaze forward, his hand reaching out forcefully.
“Condense!”
Buzz!
A terrible spatial power spread out, and amidst the frightening explosion, the primordial energy that had erupted from the shadow clan ancestor was actually gathered together by an invisible force, ultimately landing in the palm of Qin Chen’s hand.
“Bang bang!”
An illusory heart, imbued with the terrifying power of the shadow clan ancestor, thudded in rhythm, radiating an unsettling aura.
“One-tenth of the divine emperor's origin has already barely condensed into a divine emperor's heart,” Qin Chen’s eyes shone with excitement.
Condensing a divine emperor's heart represented that this primordial energy contained nearly the entirety of the Source of Shadows, allowing him to glimpse the essence of the path of shadows.
Because only a nearly complete great path source could gather a divine emperor's heart.
“By taking this one-tenth of the divine emperor's origin and combining it with the Source of Shadows I previously absorbed, it’s enough to give me a significant boost in the path of shadows, further enhancing my strength,” Qin Chen said, smiling.
“Gather!”
Then, with a wave of his hand, the vast Dead Sea instantly converged into his body, and the endless swirling shadow fire in the void collapsed at that moment.
The previously apocalyptic sky suddenly cleared away, returning to tranquility.
“The battle… is over?”
From a pile of rubble below, a small head cautiously poked out, blinking its star-like eyes at the sky, staring in bewilderment at the calm horizon, the two figures of Qin Chen suspended in mid-air, and the vanished shadow clan ancestor.
“Did he… did he repel the shadow clan ancestor?”
Kabul cautiously crawled out, shaking off the small mountain of rubble on him, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
That was the shadow clan ancestor, the creator of the shadow clan, a well-known divine emperor powerhouse in the cosmic sea. As an ancestor of a clan, his reputation was far-reaching, and wherever he went, nightmares ensued, able to transform into the king of the night world, yet he had escaped without achieving anything.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Kabul probably wouldn’t have dared to believe it.
He hurriedly soared into the sky, cautiously flying to Qin Chen’s side, looking at Qin Chen with a demeanor that no longer dared to be impertinent, like a docile sheep.
“Qin Chen, where did that guy run off to? Why didn’t you hold him back just now? I must stab him to death!”
Boom!
The void trembled, murderous intent surged, and endless shadow fire exploded. With a furious shout, Mo Li instantly appeared before Qin Chen, his eyes blood-red and full of killing intent.
His body was burned by the shadow fire, leaving behind dreadful char marks, with flames still flickering upon them. This was the shadow fire source unleashed by the shadow clan ancestor, capable of burning endlessly, incinerating everything in the world.
Any ordinary powerhouse that came into contact with even a trace would be completely burned away from the outside in, turning into dust.
