Deep in the extremely chaotic subspace, crimson lightning occasionally flashed.
The battle between beings beyond the Silver Ring level had never stopped.
Even though the chaotic space might completely tear their bodies apart, it did not affect any of their attacks in the slightest.
Whether it was the regenerative nature of blood or the inability to erase death, both supported them as they completed their final battle here.
After undergoing modernized special training, the highly unified dead had clashed head-on with the battle-hardened, high-spirited Crimson Knight Order an unknown number of times.
After seeing a Silver Ring-level dead person stronger than himself,
and experiencing the Blood Lord's decline and the manor's destruction,
Emperor Pride had long since stopped being as arrogant as he once was. The imperial blood plague within him had been suppressed during his thousands of years in exile, allowing him to think for himself and touch the "crimson" on an even deeper level.
He had become stronger than the emperor of the Old World era, strong enough to accept authority from the Blood Lord, and capable of challenging that dead person once more.
Thus, the emperor's bearing and strength both surpassed Yi Chen's. Relying on the "Emperor's Heart," he gradually took control of the situation... Even though his and Yi Chen's bodies had been struck almost the same number of times, the emperor's attacks were more effective. The balance of victory had already begun to tip.
Just then.
Buzz!
A resonance from deep within his blood caused the sword in the emperor's hand to suddenly halt without descending.
His firm, resolute twin pupils suddenly trembled. The unshakable Emperor's Heart actually wavered, and his thoughts were no longer focused on the battle before him.
Yi Chen, drenched in blood, did not take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.
