Martial Master

The Underworld Deity furrowed his brow.

He had dealt with powerful beings from the world of the living in the cosmic sea countless times and was intimately familiar with their aura.

As the ruler of the Underworld, he was even more intimately acquainted with the power of the underworld, wielding it with ease.

Therefore, although the high-dimensional powerhouses in the abyss might not sense it, the Underworld Deity was extremely sensitive to the power of the underworld emanating from Mo Li’s body and detected it instantly.

What amazed the Underworld Deity the most was the terrifying abyssal aura on Mo Li.

His research into the power of the abyss was profound. After all these years lurking in the abyss, he had managed to control abyssal power.

But the Underworld Deity knew very well that his control was based on comprehending the path’s rules and forcibly manipulating the abyssal path—like wielding a weapon.

However, the abyssal aura on Mo Li was different; it was as if the abyssal power was born within him, part of his body, like an arm at his command.

This unique mastery over three different forces was something the Underworld Deity had never seen before.

“Could it be that two great cosmic sea powerhouses have simultaneously appeared in the abyss?”

The Underworld Deity suddenly looked up at Qin Chen with a puzzled expression, murmuring, “Could these two be allies? Did they enter the abyss together?”

“But... it doesn’t quite seem that way.”

He shook his head in confusion.

From his previous covert observations, the Underworld Deity could clearly sense that Mo Li’s attitude towards Qin Chen was not that of comrades. In fact, Mo Li had even tried to attack Qin Chen’s subordinate, Domain Lord Punishment.

This was something the Master of Destruction Path, a fool embroiled in battle with Qin Chen, failed to notice, but the Underworld Deity clearly sensed it.

“The relationship between these two seems strange. I must observe further.”

The Underworld Deity squinted his eyes. Even with his sharp mind, he couldn’t figure it out at the moment.

Boom!

From afar, a terrifying aura of a path master surged powerfully across the high-dimensional world, instantly arriving in this realm.

It was the true form of the Spirit Dao Master, who had rushed from the Abyss of Eternal Silence.

“Has the Master of Destruction Path’s clone died?”

Stepping out from the high-dimensional world, the Spirit Dao Master watched with narrowed pupils as the clone perished at Mo Li’s hands, his heart stirring with excitement.

“Good, very good.”

He had worried that if he captured Mo Li in front of the clone, later when the Master of Destruction Path himself came to claim him, he might have trouble explaining.

But now that the clone was dead, that was perfect.

When the Master of Destruction Path himself escaped from the Abyss of Eternal Silence to come demanding Mo Li, the Spirit Dao Master could feign ignorance and refuse to hand him over. After all, the Master of Destruction Path’s own clone was dead without witnesses.

“However, this fellow’s strength has risen so quickly after entering the abyss? Back at the Wasteland of All Gods, although his cultivation was formidable, he couldn’t stand against one of my clones. Only after my clone was heavily wounded by the combined assault of the third generation ancestor of the Ancient Desolation Nation, the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan, and the old man of desolation, did he manage to escape through the abyss passage.”

“But now, in such a short period, he has actually slain a clone of the Master of Destruction Path. There must be some earth-shattering secret on him that suppresses the Abyssal Clan’s power. This secret very likely took the cosmic sea’s high-dimensional powerhouses countless eons to research.”

“I must have it under my control.”

The Spirit Dao Master’s heart raced as he rapidly approached Mo Li, compressing the surrounding space, closing in at lightning speed.

Meanwhile, in the distant void behind the Spirit Dao Master, the Abyss Path Master was flying swiftly, following his direction.
