Green sparks burned brighter and brighter across the Lord of the Altar's body, and his Health Bar changed abnormally.
His nearly depleted health had turned into a gray-green False Health Shield as he burned, while his resistances soared.
"Take me down with you?" Qin Chuan stopped and twirled Moment of Utmost Darkness in his left hand. "Your ashes are already glowing green. What are you going to use?"
The Lord of the Altar ignored the taunt. His half-flayed face twisted beyond recognition.
He was burning more than his lifespan and Divine Might. He was burning the God King Dao Fruit he had spent thirteen eras forming.
The green sparks of death energy gathered rapidly, forming a translucent gray figure behind him.
The moment it appeared, the rules of Eternal Shadow Domain's private dimension creaked under the strain.
"You destroyed my Altar of Origin!" The Lord of the Altar's voice was a hoarse rasp, and its shock waves cracked the surrounding space. "You cut off my God King Path!"
"You had it coming." Qin Chuan sheathed the Day-Night Short Sword in Daylight Form and drew the Dark Gold Causal Calamity Blade.
The Lord of the Altar turned his one remaining eye toward the bottom of the crater and glanced at the Yanjin Aberration, still writhing on the ground.
"But that doesn't matter." The Lord of the Altar laughed, his shriveled chest heaving. "Once I kill you, I'll fill the hole with your Rule Origin Essence and refine Yanjin's body, steeped in Chaos Source Stone. Not only will I return to the God King Realm, I'll use the Chaos Origin to go even further!"
He had it all worked out.
The Altar of Origin was already destroyed. If he devoured the two below, he could make a new beginning from the ruin.
