Eternal Night Heart Prison

At this moment, beneath the gaze of Zhang Sanxian's pale eyes, Dizi felt as small as a speck of dust.

All his past arrogance and cruelty had been ground to powder, leaving only awe and terror before an absolute powerhouse.

"Y-yes, sir!"

Dizi carefully tried to make his brainwaves sound even more submissive. "I am indeed one of Floating Slaughter Demon Venerable's subordinates, ordered to search the starry skies for Immortal Mirrors. According to our intelligence, this starfield may contain more than one, so—"

He paused, furtively studying Zhang Sanxian's unchanged expression before cautiously adding, "Sir—my deputy captain, Ba Mie, possesses True Essence power as high as 623. And Captain Bei Xuan's True Essence power has reached the four-digit tier—a staggering 4,734. They... they are on their way to this planet, sir. We... we may not need to come to blows. Everything... everything can be discussed~"

Clearly, Dizi had deliberately changed the subject halfway through, spouting this nonsense in order to invoke his backers and intimidate Zhang Sanxian.

"Oh~" Zhang Sanxian sneered. "Now you don't want to come to blows? What were you doing earlier~ Three-digit, four-digit True Essence power—do you think that alone can frighten me?"

Boom!

In an instant, a surge of True Essence far vaster and more terrifying than Dizi had imagined erupted.

It was as though an ancient God King had awakened within Zhang Sanxian, suddenly rising to cast a cold gaze at Dizi.

In that instant, this True Essence power—so mighty it seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth and remaking all things—allowed Dizi to clearly sense its precise value: a number so despairing it stole his breath—

99,999.

"Ugh?!" Dizi was struck as if by lightning. His entire body jolted, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints as boundless terror drowned every thought in his mind.
