That spectral energy was like a Nine Nether Snake, pitch-black throughout, which the figure in the black robe controlled to fiercely shoot towards the space gate.
However, interestingly, after making a move, the figure in the black robe had no intention of staying. Strong energy flowed around him, rapidly carrying him away into the distance.
Obviously, this figure was no fool. Knowing in advance that a great existence of Dominator Rank might be behind the space gate, he naturally wouldn't foolishly wait there.
As for why he made a move, that wisp of spectral energy carried a fragment of his divided spirit. If it could really enter the so-called "Zhu Tian Ruins Market," then his original self would also receive some feedback.
He was very skeptical about the so-called Ruins Market Lord behind the space gate; otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
