"Bzzz."
The moment Mata flew into the vortex, the entire vortex shuddered violently like an enormous gear. A terrifying aura erupted, making everyone feel utterly insignificant before it.
No power could damage Mata's Golden Radiance Armor. Even the Thirty-Six Emperors of old had only been able to imprison the three Golden Radiance Warriors.
Moreover, Mata had now unleashed all his power, and his willpower was astonishing. Though his body was tiny, the aura he radiated was terrifying. He reached out with his large hand, as though trying to seize something within the vortex.
"Crack."
For an instant, the vortex seemed to stop, but only for an instant. It soon began moving again, and at the very moment it restarted, terrifying power crushed down, as though it could tear everything apart.
"Bang."
The vortex's power was so overwhelming that it inspired despair. In a single instant, the invincible Golden Radiance Armor, which seemed impervious to damage, proved as fragile as an eggshell beneath that power. It was crushed into countless fragments, which merged into the vortex and vanished without a trace.
He was dead. Mata, one of the three great warriors, whom even the Thirty-Six Emperors of old had been powerless against, had died just like that.
Silence. Utter silence. The remaining warriors, Luojin and Milong, stared at the vortex in stunned disbelief. The enormous vortex continued turning slowly and calmly, as though nothing could change it.
Merlin's eyes narrowed. Others might not have noticed, but he could clearly sense that the vortex's power had increased a little the instant Mata died. This vortex represented the power of the entire Void Realm. In other words, Mata's death had strengthened the Void Realm.
The Remnant Clan had originally been born from the Void Realm, and their power belonged to it as well.
