“Hmm?” Qin Chen focused his mind and looked towards the distant heavens and earth.
Buzz!
In the distance, the space between heaven and earth churned with a pitch-black abyss, an endless flow of the aura of destruction spreading, exuding a suffocating atmosphere, like a purgatory abyss.
Within that space, surging power of destruction roared, spanning billions of miles, unending and eternal.
“Power of destruction’s source!” Qin Chen murmured.
The terrifying aura of destruction was so overwhelming that even someone as strong as Qin Chen felt a moment of heart palpitations. For a brief instant, it seemed as if he might sink into the endless ages of heaven and earth.
“Lord, this place is the Core Territory of Lord of the Path of Destruction. This subordinate has had the fortune to visit twice before. This is where your Dao field lies, containing many special traps and dangers beyond words,” Domain Lord Yufa warned with a cautious expression.
Even having stepped into the half-step path master realm, Domain Lord Yufa still felt endless dread about the core territory of the Lord of the Path of Destruction. At that level, a mere snap of the fingers could obliterate heaven and earth. If the true body appeared, even if he had breakthroughs, he could not withstand the opponent’s counterattack and suppression.
“A path master-level core territory.” Qin Chen felt unshakable just by looking at it!
This Destruction Abyss seemed like the embodiment of the entire great path of destruction. Its oppressive aura surpassed all secret grounds Qin Chen had ever encountered.
“Let’s go, you lead the way,” Qin Chen said calmly to Domain Lord Yufa.
Yufa’s gaze sharpened, but soon a resolute expression appeared deep in his eyes. “Yes!”
Without another word, Domain Lord Yufa immediately led Qin Chen and the others forward.
“Lord, we’re just going in like this? The Lord of the Path of Destruction is still in Prison Valley. Since you represent Spirit Dao Master, shouldn’t we wait for the Lord of the Path of Destruction to return? As for us, shouldn’t we stay out of sight?” Domain Lord Zhuohuo spoke in surprise.
He hadn’t expected Qin Chen to bring them straight to the core territory of the Lord of the Path of Destruction. If the Lord of the Path of Destruction found out, what fate would await him? Did Spirit Dao Master truly want to break ties completely with the Lord of the Path of Destruction?
“Follow me,” Qin Chen said coldly and fell silent.
Ahead, Domain Lord Yufa’s eyes were indifferent, a trace of contempt flashing deep within.
Whoosh!
With a single step, they arrived at the edge of the core territory where the Lord of the Path of Destruction resided.
“Who dares to recklessly enter the river of the path of destruction’s domain?”
A low roar sounded. In the next moment, several figures radiating terrifying auras suddenly appeared before Domain Lord Yufa and the others.
These were the outer guards of the Lord of the Path of Destruction’s core territory.
The core territory of the Lord of the Path of Destruction was vast. Only its innermost area was the territory of the river of the path of destruction itself. Other parts housed subordinates cultivating the river’s power and serving the Lord of the Path of Destruction.
Those who were allowed to station at the core territory were the Lord’s closest, true members of the spirit extinction lineage. They bore extraordinary relations with the Lord of the Path of Destruction. Many were even offspring of the spirit extinction lineage, close descendants of the Lord.
“Domain Lord Yufa? Is that you?”
“And Domain Lord Zhuohuo?”
Seeing Yufa and Zhuohuo, these few guards were stunned.
“You’re not in Prison Valley. What are you doing here?”
The leader frowned and then looked towards Qin Chen. “Who is this person...”
Before he could finish, Domain Lord Yufa suddenly struck. His palm rose, and infinite power of punishment formed an endless prison cage, instantly imprisoning the few guards in front.
