Martial Master

The originally pervasive nether qi across the mountain, after the self-destruction, now seemed to possess life itself. Qin Chen instantly absorbed it into his palm, transforming it into a terrifying Underworld Origin, which throbbed fiercely in his hand.

Even the scattered aura alone caused Domain Lord Yufa and the others nearby to struggle for breath, their souls seeming on the verge of collapse.

“What an overwhelming aura! The self-exploded aura of these Underworld Deities was so easily seized by the master?”

“How could the master so effortlessly control this Underworld power? How did he manage it?”

“The power of the Underworld is completely different from our Abyssal Clan. Even a path master-level powerhouse usually cannot easily influence the lingering nether qi of an Underworld Deity, but the master here…”

Domain Lord Yufa and the others’ brows twitched violently, their hearts shaken. They felt as if they had touched upon some hidden truth, watching Qin Chen’s slight change in expression.

“As expected of an Underworld Deity. Even half the origin power of one of their clones possesses such dense energy,” Qin Chen mused inwardly, sensing the power of the Underworld Deity’s clone in his palm.

With such a concentrated origin, he no longer lacked the power of the underworld.

“Today’s battle has already alarmed the Master of Destruction Path, the Spirit Dao Master, and the Abyss Path Master—the three path masters. And the news from this place will surely spread rapidly in the near future.”

Qin Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering.

From the previous clash, he had clearly sensed the terrifying nature of the abyss experts.

“Now that I have stepped into the domain lord realm, my body can generate high-dimensional power, but it is still not true high-dimensional power.”

“Slaying a clone of an average path master is no longer a problem, but if I face a true path master-level powerhouse, the danger remains immense.”

The path master is a high-dimensional realm powerhouse.

In the abyss, every path master has experienced countless battles, mastering extraordinary methods and merging with the universal path.

To slay a path master is far more difficult than slaying a domain lord.

Like the third generation ancestor of the Ancient Desolation Nation in the cosmic sea, even severely injured, he still survived in his ancestral land by relying on residual power.

Truly living as long as heaven and earth.

“With my current strength, I cannot reveal too much. If I attract the attention of the Spirit Dao Master or other path master-level powerhouses, and get surrounded, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Qin Chen focused on the terrifying nether qi in his hand.

“I must quickly find a hidden place to refine this nether qi. With this underworld power, combined with the destruction source from the Master of Destruction Path’s territory and the origin of the yang realm contained in the corpse of the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Clan, my cultivation will soar, leaping to the late divine emperor stage.”

“At that time, even facing a true path master-level powerhouse, I can stand fearless, surviving far better in this abyss.”

Thinking this, Qin Chen immediately looked toward where the Spirit Dao Master and Abyss Path Master had vanished.

“Mo Li, from here on out, you have to rely on yourself. Survive well.”

After speaking, Qin Chen glanced at the location below where the spirit extinction lineage had been. After confirming that no life remained, he withdrew the Underworld aura and said to Domain Lord Yufa and the others, “Let’s go!”

With a rush, Qin Chen took a step forward, bringing Domain Lord Yufa and the others, transforming into an invisible streak of light and disappearing.

Elsewhere.

Guided by the shattered clone of the Underworld Deity, Mo Li swiftly flew toward the territory outside the Master of Destruction Path’s domain.

“Damn it, that Qin Mo Head! He let us draw away the Master of Destruction Path and the Abyss Path Master, then just escaped on his own. So damn infuriating.”
