"?!?!" Dena was taken by surprise when Yuan abruptly grabbed her hand, stopping her from using Eternal Essence.
"This isn't a power that you should wield within the Nine Heavens," Yuan quickly explained.
"Why not—"
Just as Dena opened her mouth to inquire more details, she suddenly felt a painful sensation course through her body, as if assaulted by an invisible power.
"Cough!"
She coughed up a mouthful of blood the following moment.
"What just happened…?" She stared at the bloodied floor with a dazed look on her face.
Seeing this, Yuan released a helpless sigh before explaining, "To keep things simple, this world is protected by an otherworldly force known as the 'Absolute Power.' Within its influence, Eternal Essence—the power you just used—cannot be freely wielded without paying a tremendous price."
He narrowed his eyes and continued, "Even godly beings such as the Demon God are powerless before it."
