Jiang Chen had fallen into a dazed state. A pitch-black Ancient Lamp hovered before his brow, radiating immense forbidden power. Through his dragon body, rows of Soul Chains could be seen shackling his soul, while raging waves of flame scorched it.
Ancestor-level Figures had existed for far too long. They had probably fought more great battles than he had eaten meals.
Even with power on the same level, he still found it incredibly difficult to contend with such an opponent. Once it deployed this Forbidden Artifact, Jiang Chen fell completely onto the defensive. This was unlike any battle he had fought before.
Even forbidden beings still used power only on a "surface" level, but at the Ancestor-level, they embodied power itself. Every movement carried unfathomable, sinister dangers.
A single misstep meant eternal ruin.
Jiang Chen felt reluctant, but he understood that he probably had no choice but to use the Ten-Star Card early and crush everything with absolute power. What worried him was whether the ghost qi gained after his ten-star Demon Transformation could continue strengthening the effects on him.
Just then, however, he heard a faint call and summoned the Yin God Hammer without hesitation.
He discovered that this weapon, which had accompanied him for so long but had finally begun struggling to keep pace with him, was now unimaginably heavy and powerful!
Bang!
The Eternal Immortal Hammer landed in his claw. Eternal, undying power spread through his entire body, helping Jiang Chen resist the erosion of his soul.
He opened his eyes, their light finally brightening once more.
Ahead, Soul Ancestor had been concentrating entirely on controlling the Forbidden Soul Lamp. It too opened its eyes, a trace of surprise in them.
"The Soul Decline Great Tribulation actually couldn't hold you!"
"My tribulation is over. What about yours?"
