As the Source Realm's strongest experts, they could clearly sense that this unremarkable wisp of black light contained a terrifying power that transcended the Emperor Realm and could annihilate all techniques.
In the next instant, the phantom of Great Emperor Zi Wei unleashed his killing blow. Its overwhelming violet-gold Emperor's might collided head-on with Venerable Shadow's dark, unfathomable black light in the heart of the void.
There was no earth-shaking boom, no violent shockwave tearing through the void.
The instant the two supreme forces met, an invisible, soundless power of annihilation swept across the surrounding space, capable of dissolving all things.
The brilliant violet-gold light and Venerable Shadow's sinister black light—two utterly different supreme powers—eroded and dissolved each other.
Within a single breath, both killing blows vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind.
Watching both forces dissolve into nothingness, Great Emperor Zinan's expression darkened. Her brow was heavy with concern.
"Venerable Shadow is far more terrifying than the rumors suggest," she said grimly, wary disbelief in her voice. "A mere remnant of his power erased a killing blow my senior brother left behind."
Great Emperor Zi Wei's full-powered strike could crush an ordinary expert at the peak Emperor Realm, yet Venerable Shadow's lingering power had neutralized it. The foundations of Cangxue Mang Mountain were truly frightening.
Still, the clash had yielded something.
They had forced Dark Sun to reveal his last-resort trump card from Venerable Shadow.
Great Emperors Zinan, Bingxin, and Kun Yuan exchanged no words. They were already of one mind.
This was their best—and only—chance to subdue Dark Sun.
Their trump cards were revealed, and they held the initiative. If Dark Sun escaped today, he could recover and return with the other Evil Venerables. They would never have another chance to surround him under such favorable conditions.
