The Ruthless Great Emperor fell silent for a moment.
Then he slowly spoke.
"Prepare for the worst."
"If he hasn't emerged from seclusion by the third day."
"I'll face Great Emperor Envy and hold him off."
"You seize the chance to break out."
His words fell.
Silence filled the Council Hall.
Everyone understood.
Sending the Ruthless Great Emperor alone to hold off Great Emperor Envy.
Was no different from sending him to his death.
But they had no other choice.
Time trickled by.
On the third day.
At noon.
Inside the secret chamber.
Almost half of Su Ming's body had already turned transparent.
His fusion with the void power had stalled at the final step.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.
No matter how he battered it.
He could not break through.
He was just a little short.
Just that final little bit.
Cold sweat seeped from Su Ming's forehead.
His clenched teeth ground audibly.
He could sense it.
The Abnormal Army outside had already begun to muster.
The earthshaking thunder of war drums faintly reached him.
Great Emperor Envy.
Was about to strike.
"Damn it."
Su Ming cursed under his breath.
He forcibly suppressed the restless void power.
He opened his eyes.
A gray gleam flashed in their depths, then vanished.
The fusion had failed.
He was still one final step short.
He had failed to master the void power completely within three days.
Su Ming slowly rose.
And left the secret chamber.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
And looked toward the land beyond the city.
He knew the battle had already begun.
At sunset.
The sky was stained blood-red.
Inside the Abnormal Army Camp, war drums thundered in unison.
Their rumbling made even the earth tremble slightly.
Great Emperor Envy
