Qin Chen sensed the wound on his neck where the capillaries had been torn apart, and he couldn't help but express his astonishment.
This was not a deliberate mockery; he truly felt amazed.
It should be noted that when he was still a peak great emperor, even an ordinary divine emperor like the ancestor of the Black Dragon Society found it difficult to break through his defenses.
Now that he controlled the source of the space path and had broken through to the half-step pinnacle divine emperor realm, his physical body had been enhanced exponentially.
The Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign was actually able to injure him, which showed how terrifying he was. If his opponent were to be an ordinary divine emperor like the ancestor of the Black Dragon Society, this void slash would likely split the opponent in half instantly, cutting straight through.
"You..."
However, when Qin Chen's words fell into the ears of the Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign, he felt an unprecedented shame, his face turning red and blood rushing to his head.
"Brat, don't be so arrogant!"
The Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign was furious.
His eyes grew cold, and suddenly a slender blade appeared in his hand. This blade was semi-transparent, and as soon as it emerged, a terrifying aura capable of tearing apart the entire void spread out, even causing the Forefather of the Komodo Beasts to feel a chill.
A divine weapon at the divine emperor level.
The expressions of everyone changed slightly.
Divine emperor level weapons were extremely rare; to forge such weapons, only some special primordial materials from the early cosmic sea could be used, and the difficulty of successfully nurturing and forging them was exceedingly high.
Not to mention that even divine emperors like the ancestor of the Black Dragon Society or powerful figures like the ancestor of the shadow clan, who had inherited countless epochs, did not possess any divine emperor-level weapons.
Yet, the Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign was the founder of the top assassin organization in the cosmic sea, so naturally, he had a divine emperor-level weapon.
Buzz!
As soon as this divine weapon appeared, the void was already torn open with a vague gap.
"This is trouble."
The Forefather of the Komodo Beasts narrowed his eyes and murmured. As a favored child of the cosmic sea, the Komodo Beasts were known for their defenses, but even with his defenses, he felt a tingling sensation all over, as if cold air were blowing over him, let alone Qin Chen.
"Rip!"
After the blade appeared in the hands of the Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign, his figure immediately blurred and he lunged at Qin Chen with a sudden stab.
In an instant, the heavens and earth seemed to crack open, revealing a fine membranous fissure that extended toward Qin Chen, no wider than a hair.
Qin Chen's pupils constricted, and at that moment, the hairs on his body stood on end. His previously unmoving form suddenly moved, retreating in an instant.
Puff!
However, this fissure moved at a terrifying speed, as if piercing through the endless void, and in an instant, it struck Qin Chen's body. The speed was so quick, it was like a phantom, utterly unavoidable.
"Puff!"
The hairs on Qin Chen's body were instantly severed, and the fissure penetrated his skin, attempting to seep into his body. The terrifying force tore apart Qin Chen's hardened flesh, slicing it open like a blade cutting through leather, leaving a long, deep gash on him.
With a puff, blood splattered out instantly.
"In an instant, it broke through my defenses?"
The Forefather of the Komodo Beasts and the others were shocked, staring intently. Previously, when the Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign used his spatial divine ability's strongest move, it had only managed to leave a bloody trace on Qin Chen. Now, the divine blade had cut through Qin Chen's skin the moment it came in contact with him.
It was evident that the power of the Heaven Beyond Heaven Sovereign’s attack this time was incomparably stronger than the previous void slash.
