The Emperors immediately raised their defenses while the Transcendent Knights released their aura at full strength.
The explosion swallowed everything.
Red light filled everyone's vision.
The violent shockwave crashed against them and pushed the entire group backward. Several knights were thrown through the air while others drove their weapons into the ground to stop themselves from being blown away.
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
The earth continued shaking.
Huge cracks spread for hundreds of meters while the underground space began collapsing around them.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The terrifying explosion swallowed everything around them.
The massive shockwave struck the group head-on and sent several Transcendent Knights flying through the air.
Their protective aura shattered one after another as they crashed through broken rocks and rolled across the ground.
Ethan crossed his arms before his body and released his holy power to protect himself, but even he was pushed hundreds of meters backward. His feet tore two long trenches through the ground before he finally managed to stop himself. Heliana was also forced back while layers of ice formed around her body and shattered continuously under the violent pressure.
The four Emperors reacted almost at the same time.
Their expressions changed as each of them quickly pulled out a protective artifact.

Emperor Aldric crushed a golden talisman between his fingers while Emperor Caelus raised a small silver shield. Emperor Ezekiel pulled out a dark metal pendant hanging around his neck and poured his aura into it. Queen Ophelia waved to her staff while a beautiful crystal artifact appeared above her palm.
Buzz!
Several powerful barriers immediately appeared around them.
BOOOOM!
The remaining force of the explosion slammed into those barriers and pushed the four Emperors backward. Cracks appeared across several protective layers, but the artifacts continued releasing energy and protected them from the worst of the blast. Queen Ophelia gritted her teeth while holding her staff with both hands as the barrier around her repeatedly shook. Emperor Ezekiel planted his greatsword into the ground and used it to keep himself from being thrown away while the violent wind tore through his clothes.
The explosion continued for several breaths before its power finally began to weaken.
RUMBLE!
Large pieces of the surrounding mountains collapsed one after another. Broken rocks rained down from above while thick clouds of dust, ash, and smoke spread throughout the area. The blood-red light that had covered everything gradually disappeared, leaving behind a dark and ruined land.
For a while, nobody spoke.
The sound of falling rocks was the only thing that could be heard.
Ethan slowly lowered his arms and looked around.
His expression became solemn.
The place they had entered only moments earlier was almost completely gone.
The ground had been turned into a barren wasteland. Countless cracks stretched across the earth while smoke rose from deep holes scattered everywhere. The complicated channels that had carried the vital life force had disappeared completely, and the runes carved into the ground had been reduced to broken fragments.
At the center was a massive crater.
It was so wide that the opposite side could barely be seen through the thick dust. The inside of the crater had been burned completely black, and several areas still glowed dark red from the heat. The enormous blood-red oval structure had vanished without leaving any recognizable remains.
The four Emperors slowly gathered together.
Several Transcendent Knights also returned while helping their injured companions.
Emperor Ezekiel pulled his greatsword from the ground and stared into the massive crater.
His chest rose and fell heavily.
"Did we win?"
Emperor Aldric carefully examined the crater before slowly nodding.
"It seems so."
Emperor Caelus let out a long breath and lowered his weapon.
"That thing took all of us attacking together."
He looked toward the ruined surroundings with a grim expression.
"If we had allowed the process to continue, God knows what would have come out of there."
Several of the nearby knights nodded.
One elderly mage wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"The flow of vital life force has stopped."
Another mage closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings before speaking.
"I can't feel the formation anymore either."
Queen Ophelia remained silent for several moments.
Her eyes carefully moved across the enormous crater.
Finally, she lowered her staff slightly.
"We managed to destroy the structure before the process was completed."
Emperor Ezekiel gave a heavy snort.
"Good."
He rested the greatsword against his shoulder.
"After all that trouble, at least we finally finished this damned thing."
The tense expressions of several people finally relaxed.
Some of the injured knights dropped onto the broken ground and took deep breaths. Even the four Emperors seemed to loosen slightly after confirming that the blood-red structure had disappeared.
However, Ethan did not relax.
His eyes remained fixed on the crater.
Something felt wrong.
Before he could understand what was bothering him, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Yeah, we won!"
"Huh!"
Everyone froze.
The relaxed atmosphere disappeared instantly.
Weapons were raised as the entire group turned toward the direction of the voice.
Through the slowly settling dust, a blood-red figure stood quietly on a broken piece of rock.
"You..."
Shock flashed across everyone's face.
The figure was covered from head to toe in a strange blood-red glow.
His clothes had mostly been destroyed by the explosion, while strange red patterns covered his exposed skin. His body looked thin, yet the pressure coming from him made the surrounding air feel heavy. Blood-red energy slowly moved around him like mist while his eyes calmly swept across everyone present.
Queen Ophelia's grip around her staff immediately tightened.
Emperor Aldric's expression became ugly.
"He survived that?"
The blood-red figure slowly looked at them.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"You successfully managed to stop me from elevating my rank. However..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Ezekiel did not allow him to finish.
BOOM!
The ground beneath his feet exploded.
His figure disappeared instantly.
In the next moment, he appeared directly before the blood-red man with both hands gripping his greatsword.
"Save your fucking speech!"
His muscles tightened as he swung the enormous blade with terrifying force.
SWISH!
The greatsword tore through the air and descended straight toward the blood-red man's head.
The terrifying force behind the strike caused the ground beneath them to crack even before the blade reached its target.
Everyone's eyes immediately locked onto the two figures.
