The pale golden Nine Heavens True Essence around Lu Chenming's body erupted like a raging tide, several times more powerful than when he was in the Astral Force Realm!
The long saber in his hand let out a resonant HUM. He had already unleashed an incredibly condensed slash of light. Before the saber even arrived, its razor-sharp aura pressed down on Chen Qing like a physical weight, threatening to cleave the entire Seven-Star Platform in two!
Below the platform, the faces of the few True Successor Candidates, such as Wan Shangyi and Qian Baole, turned deathly pale in an instant.
They had all seen Lu Chenming fight before, including during his last battle with Chen Qing. Back then, though Lu Chenming was strong, he hadn't made them feel utterly powerless.
But this slash, a combination of True Essence Power and Saber Intent, represented absolute suppression on a whole new level. A sense of insurmountable despair bloomed in their hearts.
This was the True Essence Realm!
