The roar of the awakened guardian spread across the Soul Emperor Zone like a heavenly calamity.
The sky trembled.
The earth shook.
Even the countless enslaved beasts that had been hunting Situ and Goro lowered their heads in fear.
For the first time since entering the Soul Emperor Zone, Situ felt genuine danger.
Not danger from an army.
Not danger from endless numbers.
But danger from a single existence.
An existence powerful enough to threaten their lives.
Far away, deep beneath Soul Emperor Mountain, chains continued breaking.
Each shattered chain released a terrifying wave of pressure.
The aura grew stronger.
Closer.
More terrifying.
Even though the creature remained countless millions of kilometers away, Situ could already feel the pressure pressing against his soul.
Beside him, Goro's expression became serious.
"Brother Situ."
"Hm?"
"That thing is stronger than us."
Situ nodded.
Much stronger.
