Chapter 3523: Heaven-Reaching Palace

The giant gate of the Heaven-Reaching Palace opened, and black mist rushed toward them. Su Xiao and his group leaped backward in unison to avoid being affected by the black mist.

Even knowing that the 【Contaminated Silver Coin】 could resist sub-Abyss areas, none of the people present were reckless enough to enter the black mist directly.

"I'll do it."

The Savior, Aseya, spoke. In her female state, she was speed + super strong self-healing + control mithril, using mithril for medium-to-long-range attacks.

The so-called mithril was not a silver object, but a manifestation of world power. After Aseya became the Savior, her greatest gain was being allocated a certain amount of world power.

World power was different from body energy; this thing belonged to an extremely rare consumable energy. Once used, it was gone. Therefore, after the Child of the World obtained world power, the world power would automatically merge into the source blood. This was why the Child of the World had destiny blood in their body.

The role of destiny blood was mainly to help the Child of the World grow. When emotions were agitated or life was under strong threat, the destiny blood would be ignited, thereby rapidly increasing the strength of the Child of the World.

This actually didn't count as cheating, but rather a capability of the Child of the World themselves, becoming stronger rapidly by burning and reducing the amount of destiny blood in their body.

Being endowed with world power and able to fuse into destiny blood, naturally, it could also fuse into other things. For the Savior, Aseya, she was already in the top tier of this world before becoming the Savior, so she didn't need destiny blood to grow.

Moreover, the Savior, Aseya, was not a novice Child of the World. She knew nothing when she obtained world power, but she clearly felt that this world had endowed her with responsibility and power, and at the same time, she used this power according to her own will, which was world power.

The world power Aseya obtained was permanently transformed by her into a semi-fluid metal substance. Later, she didn't know which ancient book she saw the word "mithril" in, felt the name was good, and named it mithril.

Aseya took a step forward and raised one hand. The mithril coiled around her arm like water. As her fingertips touched the black mist, the cursed silver coin she held in her other hand generated heat. A layer of very faint light film spread out from within the silver coin, like a layer of sac, wrapping Aseya in it, with details reaching the protection of every strand of hair.

It could only be said that it was worthy of being produced by the Devil Tribe. Regarding Abyss energy, the Devil Tribe was quite professional. In this regard, no faction in the Void dared to compete with them.

"The silver coin is fine."

As soon as Aseya finished speaking, Su Xiao walked into the black mist inside the gate first. He was a technique-type. Among the few people in the squad, his melee perception was the strongest, and his response to unexpected situations was also the strongest.

Rhein Gold, who was also good at melee, was better at clashing head-on with enemies, and his speed and reaction were slightly inferior to Su Xiao's.

Su Xiao walked at the front, followed by Aseya, then the Sun Saint, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja. Bringing up the rear was Rhein Gold. Having this person at the back made people feel very at ease.

The palace seemed very empty, but because of the spreading black mist, the visibility here did not exceed 3 meters. The coldness in the air was biting. The originally smooth marble floor became exceptionally rough, and some places were severely eroded. Stepping on it would leave a footprint covered with gravel.

After Su Xiao walked a few steps, he found that the black mist around him gradually dissipated. He found that it wasn't that the black mist had dissipated, but that his body had initially accepted this concentration of Abyss power, so the black mist permeating here gradually became transparent in his eyes, and finally completely invisible. He had encountered a similar situation when he was in the Dark Domain of the Tree-Born World.

There were few furnishings in the palace, and one could only see murals hanging on the surrounding walls. Although these murals were severely decayed, one could guess from the armor style and body shape that these people were Wuying Solaro and others.

On the wall at the innermost part of the King Hall, only one huge portrait hung. The portrait showed a burly figure sitting on a throne, wearing pitch-black battle armor, with a two-handed greatsword inserted in front of him. The ghostly green pupil flames inside the head armor made people subconsciously want to retreat, not daring to look him in the eye.

"It should be this. I once went to a kingdom that could enter paintings. Touching this painting is probably the way to challenge the Underworld Great Emperor. Who's first?"

Baja spoke. Aseya, beside him, walked up; she wanted to try.

"Here goes."

Aseya held her breath and pressed one hand on the Great Emperor's portrait. In turn, she made a posture of blocking with both arms in front of her, preparing to withstand the attack while using mithril to counter the enemy.

Then, nothing happened.

"Over here."

A shout came. Aseya, the Sun Saint, Baja, and others looked toward the source of the sound and found that Su Xiao and Rhein Gold were already in the middle of the hall, where Rhein Gold had pulled a mechanism lever nearly 1.2 meters long.

*Clatter~*

The ground in the middle of the hall opened, and a spiral staircase rose upward, accompanied by the sound of the mechanism operating.

The mechanism operated for a long time before stopping. A winding metal spiral staircase led to the top of the palace. Su Xiao walked onto the spiral staircase first.

As he went up, Su Xiao felt the cursed silver coin in his arms getting hotter and hotter, which also meant that the higher he went, the more concentrated the Abyss energy was.

Noticing this situation, Su Xiao changed his predetermined plan and chose to let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja go to the top floor of the palace together.

The journey was smooth. When the spiral staircase reached the end, Su Xiao arrived in a cylindrical room. It was not big. Excluding the hole occupied by the spiral staircase in the middle, the surrounding area for footing was only two meters wide.

Another metal door blocked the way ahead. This time there was no key, and this metal door, which seemed to be stained with a layer of petroleum, was clearly severely eroded by Abyss energy and was extremely difficult to destroy.

"It's been a long time since there were visitors."

The face on the door spoke, revealing a harmless smile.

Seeing this thing, Su Xiao frowned. He felt that this thing seemed to be a rational Abyss-derived creature. Such existences were particularly troublesome, mostly parasitic or symbiotic. At the moment, this Abyss-derived creature was likely trapped on this door, waiting for an unlucky person to come, and then parasitize on the other party to escape from this palace.

Facing this situation, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took action. He took out an item, which was a mobile phone, turned on the camera function, aimed at the face on the door, took a photo with a "click," sent it to Caesar, and then turned on the timer.

5 seconds later, Caesar was already standing beside Rhein Gold, who was so startled he almost threw a backhand punch.

"My dear friend, you always think of Caesar when there's a good thing."

Caesar rubbed his hands with a lewd smile. The face on the opposite door lost its smile. Its eyes gradually widened. Before it could speak, Caesar had already pressed one hand on it.

"Ah!!"

After a shrill scream, the face on the door was peeled off, as if it had met its nemesis.

Caesar turned and jumped into the spiral staircase well behind him, slipping away. This guy knew he was going to fight the Great Emperor, so naturally, he slipped away immediately.

As the face on the door was peeled off, the sound of mechanisms being withdrawn came from both sides of the double-opening metal door that blocked the way, and the shackles on the door were lifted.

On the way here, Su Xiao had already changed into the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 long leather coat, which had better defensive power. He activated a golden mark on his cuff, and a gold-blue array with a diameter of 20 centimeters appeared in mid-air. Fairy Lulu drilled out from inside.

"Wahahaha, Big Boss, you finally summoned me..."

Fairy Lulu drilled out happily. Just as she drilled out more than half of her body, her cat-eye pupils rapidly shrank to the smallest size, and her tail immediately bristled to the extreme. The malice and horror from the bottom of the darkness and the endless Abyss around her almost caused the not-so-courageous Fairy Lulu to faint on the spot.

Fairy Lulu just wanted to slip away, but was grabbed by Su Xiao. Tears immediately welled up in Fairy Lulu's eyes, and she asked with a sobbing voice: "Where, where is this."

"Heaven-Reaching Palace."

"The Heaven-Reaching Palace of the Underworld?!"

Fairy Lulu's voice changed tone. Hearing this, Su Xiao looked surprised; he didn't expect Fairy Lulu to know so much about the Underworld.

"We... we aren't here to challenge the Underworld Great Emperor, are we?"

"You guessed right."

Hearing Baja's slightly smiling answer, Fairy Lulu was so "happy" that tears sprayed out of her eye sockets.

Since she was already here, Fairy Lulu couldn't slip away within a certain period of time, or before Su Xiao died in battle, so she chose to "hang" on Su Xiao. In this state, she wouldn't be attacked, but even so, she was very scared in her heart.

【Prompt: Light Fairy Lulu has attached herself to you.】

【When Fairy Lulu is attached to you, your real Intelligence attribute and maximum Mana value will increase Fairy Lulu's buff effect/healing amount, and reduce Fairy Lulu's skill cooldown time.】

【Your Intelligence attribute is 252 points, Fairy Lulu's buff state is increased by 23%, healing amount is increased by 17.3%, and skill cooldown time is reduced by 2.2%.】

【Your Mana value is 57398 points, Fairy Lulu's buff state is increased by 3.5%, healing amount is increased by 5.2%, and skill cooldown time is reduced by 93.6%.】

【When attached to you, Fairy Lulu's buff state is increased by 26.5% overall, Fairy Lulu's healing amount is increased by 22.5%, and Fairy Lulu's skill cooldown time is reduced by 95% (95% is the reduction limit).】

【You receive the following buffs.】

1. Basic Health increased by 30% (only increases health derived from Stamina attribute and skills, cannot increase health added by equipment).

2. Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes increased by 3 points (this is a diminishing increase; Fairy Lulu's characteristic in this regard is that the higher the basic attributes of the buffed party, the lower the buff brought).

3. All your abnormal attribute resistances increased by 56 points.

【Prompt: When Fairy Lulu is attached to you, she can use the "Spirit Recovery (Active, Lv. 72)" ability to immediately restore 20% of your maximum health, and in the subsequent 6 seconds, increase your movement and dash speed (this increase is in a diminishing mode, initially increasing movement and dash speed by 70%, decreasing by 10% every second until this buff ends).】

【The original cooldown of this skill was 180 seconds, now reduced to 9 seconds.】

Fairy Lulu, floating above Su Xiao's shoulder, widened her cat eyes. The hair on her ear tips gradually turned golden, and there were faint gold-blue flames on her body. Her little eyes gradually expanded.

"Wahahaha, I feel like I can take on the Underworld Great Emperor one-on-one."

Fairy Lulu looked like she was going to take on the Great Emperor one-on-one. A cold wind blew, and after she shivered, her rationality quickly recovered, and she immediately hid behind Su Xiao.

"Fairy Lulu, you attached to the wrong person. You should attach to Rhein Gold first. He is the front row after the battle starts. As for who to transfer to later, you play it by ear."

Baja spoke. Hearing this, Fairy Lulu felt it made sense. She was indeed teaming up with so many big shots for the first time, and she was a little nervous.

After Su Xiao added the buff effects of the Silver Moon Blade and the Spirit Blade, he signaled that the door could be opened.

*Rumble~*

The metal door ahead was pushed open by Aseya. Suddenly, an irresistible pulling force appeared, and accompanied by black mist, dragged everyone present into the door.

Boom!

The metal door behind them slammed shut, and the suction disappeared. Su Xiao stabilized his body in a half-squatting posture. After standing up, he looked around. The tall throne at the very back of the hall caught his attention immediately.

On the throne, the image of the Underworld Great Emperor was the same as the portrait he had just seen: pitch-black battle armor, with a two-handed greatsword inserted in front of him. The crown and head armor were a single piece, symbolizing both the authority of the ruler and a metal helmet with powerful defensive performance.

However, after seeing the Underworld Great Emperor with his own eyes, the pressure was far from what could be compared to the portrait. The Great Emperor just sat there majestically, making people feel their shoulders sink. The two-handed greatsword, covered in mottled traces, had two sides that looked exceptionally sharp.

The number of living beings slaughtered by this greatsword was so high that even from a hundred meters away, one could faintly hear the wailing of dead souls. Those souls that had grown, twisted, and been eroded by Abyss power were sealed within this greatsword. Seeing this thing for the first time would make one's hair stand on end.

This was a normal reaction. When the vast empire once ruled by the Great Emperor was eroded by the Abyss, the billions of citizens of that empire should have died miserably or mutated into monsters. But under the impetus of a coincidence, this greatsword, eroded by the Abyss, absorbed the souls of all the citizens of that empire into it.

*Clang, clang, clang~*

A bell sound like one from ancient times rang out. Hearing this bell sound, one couldn't help but have a picture appear in their mind: it was a prosperous ancient city standing in the clouds, flying dragons circling the top of the clouds, and the bronze bell in the city being struck one by one by ascetics.

*Crack, crack, crack~*

The throne under the Great Emperor shattered. At the same time, the Great Emperor had already stood up. His large hand wrapped in black armor grabbed the hilt of the two-handed greatsword, causing the greatsword inserted in the ground to tilt to a certain extent.

*Zing~*

The greatsword, nearly 1.9 meters long, let out a clear hum. The widest part of this greatsword was over 20 centimeters wide, and the overall proportions were very harmonious. Combined with the Great Emperor's burly height of nearly 4 meters, this two-handed greatsword in his hand felt similar to an ordinary person holding a cavalry sword with one hand, only the pressure was not on the same level.

Seeing the Great Emperor himself for the first time, Su Xiao didn't choose to attack. The reason was very simple: the pressure the Great Emperor gave people was too strong.

【Comparing the Intelligence attributes of both sides... Because the location is a sub-Abyss area, detection failed, only obtaining 3.7% of the enemy's data.】

Name: Underworld Great Emperor ·???

Category: Abyss /???

Health:???

Abyss Power:???

Strength:???

Agility:???

Stamina:???

Intelligence:???

Skill 1, Abyss???

Skill 16:???

Su Xiao looked at the data that was nothing but question marks and the word "Abyss," feeling that the situation was not good. But at this time, there was no way to retreat, and he could only fight the Great Emperor to decide the winner.

"Here it comes!"

Aseya raised one hand, and a mithril barrier formed in front of her. A fierce wind rushed toward them, and a greatsword eroded by the Abyss slashed over horizontally.

*Thud!! *

A loud noise resounded throughout the hall. Aseya was smashed away by a hammer. The reason it was a hammer was that when the Great Emperor slashed the mithril barrier with the black sword, the mithril barrier climbed onto the black sword, thereby forming a hammer shape and smashing into Aseya.

Compared to being cut in half by the black sword, Aseya, who had strong self-healing ability, would rather take a heavy hammer blow.

Beside the wall, Aseya, who had smashed into the wall, landed. Because her body was weak, she could only kneel on one knee, and a large mouthful of blood spewed out. She breathed greedily, her pupils trembling. The Great Emperor was strong to a degree that severely exceeded expectations.

After the Great Emperor swung a sword, he didn't choose to pursue Aseya. He stroked the black sword with one hand, tearing the solidified mithril wrapped on it to shreds, which scattered on the ground.

A whimpering sound of breaking wind spread from the side of the Great Emperor. The dark green pupil flames in his eyes flickered, and he blocked with his sword horizontally.

*Thud! *

Rhein Gold slammed a heavy punch onto the blade of the black sword. With a crisp "crack," in his slightly surprised gaze, the black sword shattered, but in the next instant, a large number of black fireballs the size of human heads poured out from within.

"Blade Dao Blade · Kill."

*Whoosh! *

A blood-colored streak slashed out diagonally. All the black fireballs rushing toward Rhein Gold wailed and shattered. The residue after the blood slash gradually dissipated in the air.

Rhein Gold, who leaped backward continuously, stopped. After nodding to Su Xiao, he locked his gaze on the Great Emperor again.

At this time, the Sun Saint beside the wall didn't attack. Don't look at his burly image, with muscles knotted all over his body; among those present, except for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja, he had the worst survivability. His long-range firepower was shocking, but once forced into melee with the Great Emperor, he wouldn't be far from death.

The battle had just begun, and Aseya was almost slashed on the spot, which showed the strength of the Underworld Great Emperor.

The shattered black sword gathered again and was held in the Great Emperor's hand. From his appearance until now, the Great Emperor had remained silent. Those dark green pupil flames like cold flames represented that he had been completely eroded by the Abyss.

"Roar!!"

A roar came from inside the Great Emperor's armor. The sound didn't come from inside the head armor, but from under the armor on the torso. This roar sounded like many kinds of sounds mixed together.

Layers of air waves spread with the roar. Su Xiao blocked in front of him with one hand, staring at the Great Emperor through his fingers. His most intuitive feeling now was that there was simply no way to defeat the Underworld Great Emperor.

That's right, it was that exaggerated. This was also why Aseya was almost killed on the spot when the battle just started.

"Cough, cough, cough~, think of a way, or let's retreat."

Aseya, who had quietly moved to Su Xiao's rear, spoke. She had just taken an attack from the Great Emperor, causing her self-healing ability to be suppressed to almost nothing.

"Can't retreat. This place is sealed by some kind of power."

Rhein Gold, standing side-by-side with Su Xiao, three meters away, spoke.

"Then there must be other reasons. The Underworld Great Emperor is ridiculously strong. Look at those holes burned by mithril on his body."

Aseya raised her chin. Sure enough, on the right shoulder of the Underworld Great Emperor, there were several holes the size of fingers, and the inside of the armor was also sizzling from being burned by mithril. But this burning didn't last for a few seconds before the holes on the Great Emperor's shoulder armor gradually healed, finally returning to their original state. The Great Emperor's aura didn't weaken by even half a point.

Witnessing this scene, Su Xiao knew that a solution had to be found now, otherwise, in less than 10 minutes, everyone present would die under the Great Emperor's sword.

A scroll appeared in Su Xiao's hand. As this scroll shattered, a blur that perception couldn't capture attacked the Underworld Great Emperor.

*Boom!! *

A soul arrow pierced the head of the Underworld Great Emperor. As an Immortal-grade one-time item, the power of 【Soul Wound】 could be imagined.

Something jaw-dropping happened. The hole in the Great Emperor's head rapidly returned to its original state amidst the gathering black smoke threads, including the armor on the outside.

This was already beyond the scope of self-healing or regeneration. It was more like, as long as the Great Emperor was in this place, any loss he suffered would return to normal after a few seconds, unless he could be killed in one round of focused fire.

It seemed like a loss to test this with an Immortal-grade item, but this was much better than losing personnel. If the squad suffered casualties just to test the Great Emperor's abilities, there would be no way to fight later.

Su Xiao had a conjecture in his heart, but if he guessed wrong, this battle would definitely be lost. However, considering that they would all be wiped out in less than ten minutes, even if he guessed wrong, it was much better than doing nothing.

"Ceiling."

Su Xiao spoke in a low voice. Aseya, behind him, said: "Huh?"

Before Isaiah could finish speaking, the ground shook with a loud sound. Su Xiao and Rhine Gold had already charged toward the Emperor. Seeing this, Isaiah pointed forward with one hand, and mithril gathered from around her, condensing into silver droplets at her fingertips.

On the other side, the Sun Saint held the hammer cannon, aiming at the Underworld Great Emperor while solar energy in his body rapidly poured into the weapon. Fire patterns appeared on the hammer cannon.

*Bang! *

Shrapnel mixed with flames bombarded out from the muzzle of the hammer cannon. After tearing a few black marks in the air, it hit the back of the Underworld Great Emperor squarely, causing the Great Emperor's body to sway. This was already quite remarkable.

A metal fist tore through the air, slamming toward the Great Emperor's face. At the same time, a gravity force pressed toward the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor was clearly experienced in many battles; he changed to holding the sword with both hands and slashed down with force.

"Blade Dao Blade · Flow."

A wind mark cut through. A slash mark appeared on the Great Emperor's right arm armor. This sudden slashing force caused the Great Emperor's sword momentum to skew.

Opposite the Great Emperor, Rhein Gold's original idea was to clash head-on with the Great Emperor under Su Xiao's cover, creating opportunities for others.

But when facing the Great Emperor's black sword slash, Rhein Gold found that the situation was not good. If he resisted this sword head-on, it would definitely not be as simple as scrapping a metal arm.

*Boom! *

The black sword narrowly slashed past Rhein Gold. After landing, gravel splashed everywhere. Cold sweat seeped from Rhein Gold's forehead, but with his combat experience, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately threw punches with both hands, bombarding the Great Emperor wildly.

A shockwave blast passed by Rhein Gold's ear. He was shaken to one side; it was a silver water line that had bombarded past. The attack accumulated by Aseya pierced the Great Emperor's neck. This water line, which was only as thin as a needle, had power that was shocking.

"Blade Dao Blade · Flow."

With a "sizzle," an elegant wind mark slashed across the ceiling. Just as the slash fell, Rhein Gold soared into the sky, throwing a heavy cannon uppercut at the ceiling. This was one of his ultimate killing moves.

*Thud!! *

After a punch no less than Su Xiao's direct kick, the entire hall shook. The ceiling, which had taken the Blade Dao Blade · Flow and the heavy cannon uppercut, was covered in cracks, but it didn't collapse.

*Crack, crack, crack~*

The shattered armor on the Great Emperor's neck recovered, and he slashed out diagonally with his sword.

*Zing! *

A giant black sword light slashed out. Green Ghost watched and shed tears of envy.

*Clang! *

The black sword light was blocked by the long sword. Su Xiao, holding the sword with one hand and the other hand pressed against the spine of the sword, only felt his arms go numb, and his body retreated along the momentum.

The feeling the Great Emperor gave him was very wrong. He was strong enough to be confusing, but in terms of combat techniques, he wasn't as terrifying as imagined. Simply put, from the beginning until now, the Great Emperor had been slashing normally, at most slashing out black sword light.

A golden scorching sun appeared behind Su Xiao, blowing his hair up. Behind him, the Sun Saint, who had been charging for several seconds, held the hammer cannon, also aiming at the ceiling.

*Boom!! *

A beam of light bombarded out. Su Xiao only felt a buzz in his right ear, and his cheek was burned until it hurt a little.

When the aftermath of the attack dissipated in the air, the ceiling was finally bombarded with a hole about 3 meters in diameter, and it was pitch black above.

A few translucent black chains gradually appeared in the air, one end merging into the darkness above, and the other end merging into the Great Emperor's left arm.

Su Xiao had been guessing before: the Underworld was an Eighth-Tier world, so why was the Great Emperor so strong? The highest priority idea was that for unknown reasons, the Great Emperor's source of power was directly connected to the Abyss passage.

The previous mission prompt said that the Underworld's Abyss passage was at the bottom of the Underworld. This information was correct, but it was actually very tricky, because the top of the Underworld was not the bottom of the Underworld, but the highest sky of the Underworld.

The place where Underworld power settled was the bottom of the Underworld. The problem was that Underworld power was a kind of energy, energy that would float upward. This settling had to be understood in a different way.

Just now, when walking on the spiral staircase, Su Xiao made a choice: he didn't let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja go to the bottom of the palace, but came to the place where the Great Emperor was together. The reason was that the higher he went, the stronger the reaction of the cursed silver coin, which meant the more concentrated the Abyss power was.

And at this time, the path to the bottom of the Underworld was bombarded open by Su Xiao, Rhein Gold, and the Sun Saint together.

There was no fluctuation to be seen. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja had already entered the hole in the ceiling. Their task was very simple: find the Abyss passage.

It stood to reason that before killing the Great Emperor, it was difficult to close the Abyss passage connected to it. But if the Abyss passage wasn't closed, the Great Emperor was nearly immortal. After its armor and body were damaged, they would immediately be repaired by Abyss energy. This was a dead loop.

It was really difficult to think of how to defeat the Great Emperor in such a state. Fortunately, Su Xiao had been prepared for this.

Before, he went to the Okai Star and let the Crimson Witch divine his battle with the Great Emperor. The Crimson Witch's original words at the time were: "A mask, and... it and it."

At that time, the Crimson Witch pointed to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja respectively.

Su Xiao now fully understood the meaning of this sentence. The key to the life-or-death battle with the Great Emperor lay in opening the path to the bottom of the Underworld, letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja take the Ancient Mask to the front of the Abyss passage.

The previous battle with the Underworld allowed the Ancient Mask to absorb a massive amount of Underworld power, but even so, this mask still hadn't crossed that hurdle and couldn't become a "Daddy-level" item.

But Su Xiao could be certain that the Ancient Mask could absorb pure Abyss energy. In this way, as long as the Ancient Mask was thrown into the Abyss passage to let it absorb Abyss energy, it would cut off the connection between the Great Emperor and the Abyss passage. Only in this way would there be a chance of winning.

The positioning of Su Xiao and others faintly surrounded the Great Emperor in the middle. Under such circumstances, naturally, they couldn't attack easily. If the Great Emperor didn't move, they would wait and see.

In the nearly suffocating tense atmosphere, time passed second by second. Half a minute later, the translucent black chain connected to the Great Emperor's left arm shattered with a "crack." This meant that the Ancient Mask had been thrown into the Abyss passage, and the connection between the Great Emperor and the Abyss passage was severed.

The Great Emperor's vast aura suddenly retracted. Although he was still the strongest present, he was not as exaggerated as just now. Cold air exhaled from the air holes of his mask, and the slightly bloated armor on his body quickly detached, revealing the black armor that had already merged with his skin.

The Great Emperor grabbed the hilt of the sword casually. The black cloak behind him looked tattered, but still maintained its general shape.

"I feel that the Underworld Great Emperor now is more dangerous than just now."

Aseya spoke. The Underworld Great Emperor now had lost that vast aura, lost the endless body energy, and lost the Immortal-grade recovery ability, but Aseya felt that the Great Emperor now was more terrifying.

*Whoosh! *

The tattered cloak swept out a black flame shadow. In the next instant, the Great Emperor appeared in front of the Sun Saint, the black sword in his hand slashing horizontally, with astonishing momentum.

*Clang!! *

The black sword and the alloy arm clashed. Just as the slash arrived, black crystals spread on the alloy arm, and then suddenly ignited with black flames.

With one sword slash, the power of the Great Emperor's slash was like endless, breaking Rhein Gold's alloy arm block, and along the momentum, slashed him away.

A shockwave broke open. Flying in mid-air, Rhein Gold's body was more than half numb. He had encountered such an enemy for the first time. In the past, the moment of weapon clash was the strongest moment when both sides' power erupted, but the Great Emperor was not. After the weapon clash, the power from the black sword would become stronger and stronger, making the enemy unable to block in a short time, thereby breaking the block.

The hammer cannon aimed at the side of the Great Emperor's head. The Sun Saint pulled the rugged trigger. Shrapnel mixed with sparks bombarded out, with power strong enough to have torn through space.

The black sword blocked like a shield. The impact caused the Great Emperor to be shaken back a step, but he pushed forward with the hand holding the sword. The roar of billions of souls came from within this black sword, shaking the Sun Saint opposite him until his brain buzzed, and he fell to the ground immediately.

*Clang! *

The long sword and the black sword slashed at each other, sparks splashing everywhere. In the next instant, Su Xiao felt a continuous giant force coming from the sword. He knew why Rhein Gold had been slashed away so easily just now.

The long sword in Su Xiao's hand was slightly offset. With a "sizzle," the black sword slid across the edge of the blade, making a gesture to be guided to slash toward the ground on the side. But just at this moment, a black round core appeared above the Great Emperor. This thing was actually a devour core leaning toward combat type.

PS: (Originally wanted to write the final battle in this chapter, but Feiwen has been recuperating recently. Sitting in front of the computer for too long makes me feel stuffy. After the state is not good, what I write doesn't have that feeling. I will definitely finish the final battle tomorrow.) ===== CHAPTER 3524 =====
