Smack!
A pitch-black deep hole appeared in space-time, and Ye Chen and the Devil Race Sovereign projection each retreated more than a dozen steps.
"What? The Devil Race Sovereign's projection was blocked."
"This is too **! He just became a Sovereign, yet he already has such combat power."
A projection possessed roughly one-tenth of a Sovereign's strength, while a newly advanced Sovereign could not possibly bring their supreme martial arts to the major completion realm at the very moment of advancement.
