《I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Qin Chen, from today onwards, you are no longer the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. You are now stripped of your Great Qin royal status.¡± ¡°From here on, live with contentment in Taiyi Holy Land. Taiyi Holy Land has promised to let you cultivate while you are there. Even if that does not work out, you will at least be guaranteed safety for life.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t blame the Great Qin Dynasty. You can only blame your mother for daring to plot treason and openly usurp power, causing great chaos in the dynasty.¡± ¡°As well as yourself ¨C although a prince, the flesh and blood of the great emperor, you¡¯re merely a mortal with no talent for cultivation.¡± ¡°From today onwards, you are no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. And the dynasty will no longer recognize your status.¡± ¡°In exempting you from punishment, and sending you to Taiyi Holy Land to cultivate and become its disciple, you are already being treated considerably well.¡± ¡­ As Qin Chen stood on a cliff, the words of the dynasty experts who had sent him there kept replaying in his mind. As he gazed at the magnificent mountain range before him, his expression was one of confusion. The truth was, he was not from that world, but had transmigrated from Earth to that world. He had just transmigrated moments ago. His soul had entered the body of a 15-year-old young man named Qin Chen, and inherited all the memories of that body. It was a world that belonged to cultivators. The land before him was called the Canglan Continent. It was vast and boundless, countless times larger than Earth. And had produced numerous top experts ¨C experts with the power to move mountains and seas with the raise of a hand. It even had ancient great emperors, above the heavens, who overlooked the vast, entire universe. They could devour the sun, moon and stars, and create the heavens and the earth. There was nothing they could not do. Qin Chen had transmigrated into that kind of world to become the prince of an immortal divine dynasty. The immortal divine dynasty remained one of the most powerful ancient inheritances left by an ancient great emperor on the Canglan Continent. It ruled over hundreds of millions of miles of territory in the Central Province, and had countless experts at its command. As someone born into the imperial family of a divine dynasty, Qin Chen should have enjoyed riches and splendor, and become a powerful cultivator with the world at his feet and a bright future. A pity that just after transmigration, before he could enjoy all that, the Great Qin Dynasty had stripped him of royalty and demoted him to commoner status. Then sent him far away from the Central Province to the southern wilderness, to Taiyi Holy Land, to become its disciple. All because Qin Chen¡¯s mother had planned a rebellion to seize the throne. However, Qin Chen knew that it was the empress who had framed his mother. Qin Chen¡¯s mother and the empress were both from extremely powerful royal factions within the Great Qin Dynasty. They were constantly vying for power. Unfortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s mother¡¯s faction was not as powerful as the empress¡¯. In the end, she lost the latest battle, was framed and banished to the cold palace, never to be seen again. The prince Qin Chen was also implicated. He was stripped of his royal status and made a commoner. Qin Chen had not been imprisoned because he was merely a mortal, with a very low possibility of cultivating. On account of his status, the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, in spite of his coldheartedness, ordered for Qin Chen to be sent to Taiyi Holy Land. Even if Qin Chen could not be an esteemed prince of the divine dynasty, he could at least be protected for life. However, Qin Chen would never be able to rise to the top again. Moreover, Taiyi Holy Land was no longer a place of splendor. It had completely declined since the ancient times. It retained the title ¡°Holy Land¡± in name only. ¡°Qin Chen,¡± Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Supreme Elder took a look at the 15-year-old boy and examined him. He could sense that although the youth was a prince of the divine dynasty, both his talent and body were ordinary. No wonder he did he not get any recognition from the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°Supreme Elder!¡± Qin Chen, who had just inherited his identity, understood the situation he was in perfectly. He knew that the Supreme Elder before him was the true leader of Taiyi Holy Land. For the sake of his future, he bowed respectfully without delay. When he saw that, the Supreme Elder nodded slightly. At least the fallen prince understood the situation. If he still dared to brandish his position as a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Supreme Elder would not hesitate to teach him a lesson. So his expression softened, and he said, ¡°You know that you are now no longer a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and cannot reveal that information to anyone. Now that you have entered our Taiyi Holy Land, start from the bottom. From today onwards, report to the handyman yard and start as a handyman disciple.¡± ¡°This is my token. Show it to the elders of the handyman yard, and they will make arrangements for you. Go!¡± After he finished, a token appeared in front of Qin Chen. Qin Chen was a prince of the divine dynasty, after all. But he was born with a mortal body that was difficult to cultivate. Even as Supreme Elder, he could not make Qin Chen an official disciple. Otherwise, it would cause unhappiness among the other disciples, and bring harm to Qin Chen instead. A handyman disciple was not bad either. He could live a peaceful life. With the Supreme Elder¡¯s token, no one in Taiyi Holy Land would dare to bully Qin Chen. The Supreme Elder cast a look of pity on Qin Chen, then soared into the sky. He soon disappeared, leaving behind an envious Qin Chen. After transmigrating to that world, who wouldn¡¯t want to become a super expert who could fly through the heavens and move mountains and seas? But he was aware of his mortal body and slim chances of cultivation. It was simply impossible to reach that kind of level. Qin Chen knew that handyman disciples were the lowest level disciples in Taiyi Holy Land. They could not even be considered official disciples. But he also understood the Supreme Elder¡¯s good intentions. Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, with the Supreme Elder¡¯s token, the handyman yard would not dare to make things difficult for him. He probably would not need to do difficult chores. Very quickly, Qin Chen headed to the handyman yard. True enough, the elders of the handyman yard did not make things difficult for him due to the token. They just let him be a sweeper handyman, who performed simple cleaning around the Holy Land daily. But a lot of gossip spread within Taiyi Holy Land. It was not clear where they had heard the rumors from. Qin Chen had apparently been the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had just been demoted to commoner status, sent far away from the Central Province, and now reduced to a handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land. As a result, a lot of official disciples ¨C and even handyman disciples ¨C gossiped and pointed whenever they saw Qin Chen. Qin Chen could only smile bitterly in response. He had no other choice. Fortunately, because of the Supreme Elder¡¯s token, those people could occasionally mock him, but did not dare to bully him physically. Before he knew it, Qin Chen had been in that world for one year. He had gotten used to things. Although he was not able to cultivate immortality, he could cultivate ordinary martial arts to strengthen his body. Although Taiyi Holy Land was an immortal cultivation sect, it still offered many ordinary martial arts for cultivation. That day, Qin Chen officially turned 16. In that world, the age of 16 signified the beginning of adulthood. But no one celebrated for Qin Chen. He had no plans to celebrate either. As usual, he proceeded to a cliff to sweep, intending to spend his first birthday as an adult uneventfully. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have completed the system¡¯s one-year survival test. The system will now be officially activated.] [System activation in progress¡­] Qin Chen suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his head. His heart stopped. ¡°The system!¡± Qin Chen was shocked. In the past year, he had gradually accepted his reality. He thought that he would be a sweeper handyman disciple in Taiyi Holy Land for the rest of his life. He never expected to activate the legendary system on his 16th birthday. He was aware of the system. It was a huge cheating device! ¡°I wonder what kind of system it will be?¡± Qin Chen was full of anticipation. He did not have to wait long. Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his head again:[System successfully activated. Please check in.] [You may check in to any place between heaven and earth that contains divinity.] [However, you may only check in once a day.] [The higher the divinity of the place, the greater the reward for checking in.] [You may check in repeatedly at certain places.] Places with divinity? Qin Chen understood instantly. The so-called divinity was places with Dao runes between heaven and earth. Some were innate, such as chaotic pure lands, ancestral vessels, spirit vessels, divine trees, divine herbs, and so on. And some were man-made, such as places with marks left behind by top experts, great emperor training halls, an emperor¡¯s tomb, and the Nine Forbidden Grounds of Canglan Continent. But he could only check in once a day. His first chance should not go to waste. ¡°It was not easy to awaken the system. It means there¡¯s hope for me to cultivate. I mustn¡¯t waste this great opportunity. I have to find a good place to check in.¡± Qin Chen was both surprised and delighted. The appearance of the system had reignited his dormant thoughts of cultivation. After all, after transmigrating to that kind of world, who wouldn¡¯t want to become a super expert who could move freely in the world without obstruction? Especially like the masters of ancient holy lands, aristocratic families and dynasties, also known as kings. They were free to do anything and commanded the respect and obedience of everyone. It was just that the elders of both the Great Qin Dynasty and Taiyi Holy Land had judged that his talent and body were very ordinary. It would be too difficult for him to enter the path of cultivation. His hopes were slim. As such, Qin Chen had given up on the idea of cultivation. Now, the appearance of the system had reignited Qin Chen¡¯s hopes. For his first check-in, he would definitely choose a place where an ancient great emperor had left his mark. Ancient great emperors were the gods of that world. It was said that they had the power to pluck stars and swallow moons, and were unbelievably terrifying. They were the supreme gods in the eyes of the people. In that world, many immortal dynasties, holy lands and aristocratic families had produced great emperors. The Great Qin Dynasty, for example, definitely had places where ancient great emperors had left traces. The divinity of those places would definitely be very strong, and he was very likely to obtain good rewards if he checked in there. But Qin Chen was only a mortal now. Not to mention the distance, he did not even have the right to get close to those places. It would have to be in Taiyi Holy Land first. Taiyi Holy Land had declined significantly, but it was still a holy land. However, its land area was too wide, with a radius of thousands of miles. Qin Chen was just a sweeper handyman. In the past year, he had only gone nearby and had not been to many places in the holy land. So for a moment, he was at a loss as to where to check in. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve heard of an ancient place in the holy land. It¡¯s thought to be a place where an ancient great emperor once walked across. That ancient great emperor was the strongest in history, overlooking the universe. The places he¡¯s walked across must have tremendous divinity!¡± Qin Chen suddenly recalled an ancient cliff in Taiyi Holy Land. An ancient great emperor was rumored to have stayed and left a pair of footprints there. Of course, it was just a rumor. When Taiyi Holy Land was still on par with immortal holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, it possessed great talent and power. Emperors had even commissioned peerless experts to personally explore the cliff. However, they did not find anything special and wrote it off as a rumor in the end. Over time, no one paid attention to that cliff. It had even been covered in dust for many years, and not many people went there. Although there was a high possibility that it was just a rumor, Qin Chen decided to head there for his first check-in. If it truly was a place walked on by the great emperor, he would definitely obtain a good reward. If not, it was just a one-day check-in opportunity. He would not consider it a big loss. At most, he could just check in the next day. He had already waited 16 years. He did not mind waiting just one more day. Four hours later, Qin Chen finally reached the location of the ancient great emperor¡¯s footprint after staggering up the mountain, panting. It could not be helped. Taiyi Holy Land was simply too big. The destination was hundreds of miles from where he was, and the mountains along the way were towering. Qin Chen was fit and strong, having cultivated martial arts, but it still took him four hours. It was not easy to find the place that the ancient great emperor was thought to have left his mark. Qin Chen looked at a not-too-tall cliff in front of him. The cliff was overgrown with weeds ¨C all except an area 20 to 30 feet wide. There was not a single weed in sight, and it was free from dust all-year-round. In the center was a pair of footprints. They were faint, but had been imprinted on the cliff for hundreds of thousands of years without being eroded. [Ding dong!] [A remnant with extremely high divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Suddenly, the voice of the system appeared in his head. After receiving the system notification, Qin Chen was convinced that it was the place where the ancient great emperor had left his mark. He immediately said silently, ¡°System, I want to check in here!¡± At the next moment. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the place where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor has left his mark. You have obtained the Chaotic Holy Body!] The voice of the system suddenly sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s head. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen was stunned beyond belief. The Chaotic Holy Body! He had actually obtained the strongest body type in the universe! It was the body type of a great emperor unrivaled in his generation ¨C the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Legend has it that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was invincible all his life. Whatever enemy he encountered, he shoved aside. If a god obstructed his way, he would kill the god. If a Buddha obstructed his way, he would kill the Buddha. During that period, gods, demons and Buddhas alike, both ancient and modern, were all defeated by him. Commander of the heavens, and respected by all realms! That sentence most aptly described the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He was one of the most powerful great emperors throughout history ¨C the Heavenly Emperor! And the Chaotic Holy Body remained the number one body type all the way from ancient times to present. That type of body was said to be unparalleled in the universe. It was naturally able to refine tens of thousands of Daos. With cultivation, it could swiftly break all kinds of records, travel a thousand miles a day, and break the boundaries of various realms. Eventually, the owner could become a god and challenge the throne! Qin Chen never expected that the footprint in that place had been left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. What was more surprising was that he would no longer have a mortal body, but the legendary Chaotic Holy Body. While he was still taking all that in, Qin Chen felt an extremely mysterious, clear stream surge into his body. Then, all kinds of changes started taking place throughout his body. Instantly, his body seemed to be filled with infinite power. It had transformed to become the Chaotic Holy Body! But what troubled Qin Chen was that although he now had the Chaotic Holy Body, the more powerful the body type, the more difficult to cultivate. He would need a suitable sutra to truly unleash the potential of the Chaotic Holy Body. Should he cultivate ordinary sutras, he would only wastefully destroy the Chaotic Holy Body. His foundation would be average, and unable to cultivate to the highest levels. ¡°A pity. If the Chaotic Imperial Sutra was given as well, it would be perfect when cultivated together with the Chaotic Holy Body. Qin Chen was left with some regret. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was still the most suitable sutra to cultivate with. It was an imperial sutra specially created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor for the Chaotic Holy Body. It could make full use of the Chaotic Holy Body¡¯s potential, and allow for foundation establishment. However, it was not in his possession. He could only look for other sutras to cultivate with. Of course, if he checked in again, would he be able to get the matching Chaotic Imperial Sutra? BOOM! As soon as Qin Chen obtained the Chaotic Holy Body, the great emperor¡¯s footprints on the cliff shone with a blinding brilliance that shot into the sky. It was as if a supreme great emperor had descended there. It jolted the whole of Taiyi Holy Land and the immense pressure caused every person, big or small, to freeze. They looked towards the cliff in shock, ¡°This pressure¡­ It¡¯s coming from the cliff. Could that really be the footprints left by an ancient great emperor?¡± Only Qin Chen could move. When the great emperor¡¯s pressure appeared, he felt his body undergo a wonderful transformation, and the blood in his body boil. Crackle crackle. All his bones and flesh trembled as they underwent thorough cleansing. After a long time, a thick, foul-smelling substance appeared all over Qin Chen¡¯s body. He knew that it was the impurities in his body being expelled. His entire body felt significantly more refreshed. It was probably caused by the resonance between the Chaotic Holy Body and the footprints left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Qin Chen felt extremely uncomfortable and left quickly. He was a lot more relaxed than before when he left, and no longer exhausted. It took less than two hours to return to his residence. Not long after, the phenomenon disappeared, and everything returned to normal. A group of experts from Taiyi Holy Land, led by the Holy Lord, rushed to the cliff with the emperor¡¯s footprints. But they did not see anyone. They were baffled as to why the footprints of the ancient great emperor would be activated. Fortunately, it was only a trace of the great emperor¡¯s majesty. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to withstand it. After the phenomenon disappeared, the Holy Lord, elders and other high-level persons of the holy land examined the footprints for a long time, but came up with nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to leave. They could never have imagined that the person who had caused the emperor footprint phenomenon to appear was a mere sweeper handyman disciple. After Qin Chen returned to his residence and took a bath, he had a feel of his newly-gotten strength. There was no one around him. He glanced at a huge rock the size of a house, wrapped both hands around it, and actually lifted it into the air, which showed his unbelievable strength. Although he had been cultivating martial arts, it had only improved his fitness. It was good enough to have great strength at that time. But now, his strength had multiplied more than ten times. And that was before cultivation. The Chaotic Holy Body had natural divine strength. Once he started cultivation, his strength would increase at an even more shocking pace. The next day, Qin Chen sneaked back to the place with the emperor¡¯s mark. After ascertaining that no one was around, he spoke silently to the system, ¡°I want to check in here!¡± BOOM! The phenomenon appeared once again! [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Chaotic Imperial Sutra as a reward!¡±] In his head, a divine book appeared. As he opened the first page, a profound passage of sutra instantly appeared and was rapidly imprinted on his mind. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra had appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. He was stunned. He could not believe that he had obtained the legendary Chaotic Imperial Sutra on his second check-in. That was an immortal imperial sutra created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was second to none from past to present. A sutra created specifically for the Chaotic Holy Body. The first time he checked in, he had obtained the Chaotic Holy Body. The second time he checked in, he obtained the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. It was as if everything had been arranged specially for him! Qin Chen controlled the impulse to cultivate, because the emperor¡¯s light had reappeared. Anything could happen any moment. He should not stay for long. Moreover, he did not know what would happen if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with the Chaotic Holy Body. It was safer to go back to his residence to cultivate. After Qin Chen left, the Holy Lord and a group of elders appeared once again. Although the phenomenon had already disappeared, it had occurred two days in a row, which naturally raised questions. Could it be a sign that the ancient great emperor¡¯s relic was about to appear? After all, the birth of a relic was usually accompanied by a strange phenomenon. Not to mention, no one knew why the ancient great emperor had specially left a pair of footprints there. Soon, Qin Chen arrived at his residence and found a relatively hidden location. In recent years, very few from the sect had walked by that place. He began to cultivate. As he started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with great anticipation, he realized something. Although vigorous spiritual energy was entering his body, no matter how he tried, he could not enter the first human body cultivation realm ¨C Yiyuan! In immortal cultivation on the Canglan Continent, cultivation realms were segregated into: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian and Shifang. Each realm was then further divided into nine levels of heavens. To cultivate, it was necessary to step into the Yiyuan Realm and open up a divine sea in the body. The divine sea was located at the dantian. It needed to be opened up and expanded, and transformed into a divine sea that stored divine power. Qin Chen instantly understood. The Chaotic Holy Body was just too extraordinary. If he wanted to open his dantian to become a divine sea, he required a large amount of spiritual energy to succeed. Otherwise, he would not be able to open his divine sea even if he cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. But where could he find large amounts of spiritual energy? Only in the immortal caves of high level people within the holy land. But he would never be allowed to set foot there. The best alternative was to look for spirit stones. A spirit stone was the product of crystallization of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contained large amounts of that energy. Qin Chen was concerned about that. Taiyi Holy Land had long declined. It was not like other holy lands, ancient aristocratic families and ancient dynasties, which had large numbers of spirit mines. Taiyi Holy Land only had a few spirit mines at present. Moreover, they were relatively barren with low annual output. Many elders themselves were only allocated a small number of spirit stones. Not to mention a mere handyman disciple ¨C he was even less qualified to receive spirit stones. Qin Chen was greatly troubled. He had shed his mortal body, but was still unable to cultivate. At that point, Qin Chen could only hope to earn spirit stones when he checked in at other places within Taiyi Holy Land. The next day, Qin Chen checked in at a different place. The mark of the emperor had shown movement two days in a row, and definitely attracted the attention of various high-level figures in Taiyi Holy Land. It was not convenient to check in again so soon. So he went to a great hall in Taiyi Holy Land. It was a huge, magnificent hall. The Main Hall of Taiyi Holy Land. Holy Lords from past dynasties had all been there, so it should have good divinity. More importantly, when Qin Chen swept the floor, he liked to enter the library to read the classics. He knew that the location of Taiyi Main Hall had undergone careful consideration. The founder of Taiyi Holy Land had specially chosen that place to build the hall. Buried underground were dragon vessels, intersecting numerous spirit vessels. It was definitely no ordinary place. When Taiyi Holy Land was flourishing, generations of holy lands had used Taiyi Main Hall as a cultivation ground. Of course, now that it had declined, the dragon vessels were nowhere to be found, and the spirit vessels had pretty much dried up. However, he had a high chance of getting treasures like spirit stones from checking in to such a place. [The system has detected a strong divinity here. Would you like to check in at Taiyi Main Hall?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Even the system had confirmed his suspicions. He had to check in there. ¡°System, I want to check in!¡± Qin Chen said silently in his head. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have obtained a Divine Spirit Source!] Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen was extremely surprised. He had actually obtained the Divine Spirit Source. Spirit stones were the resources of the cultivation world. They contained an abundance of spiritual energy, and could help cultivators increase their cultivation speed. But there were different levels of spirit stones. The Divine Spirit Source belonged to the highest level. It was equivalent to the refining of innumerable spirit stones on a large scale. Even with hundreds of spirit vessels, a Divine Spirit Source usually did not appear. Moreover, the Divine Spirit Source rewarded by the system was the size of a human head, about one-tenth of a cubic meter. It was equivalent to at least three to four hundred thousand pounds of ordinary spiritual stones. Its value was priceless. Qin Chen did not expect to receive a Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall. It was a huge surprise. Obtaining the Divine Spirit Source meant that he could start his cultivation journey smoothly, open up his Divine Sea, and become a truly formidable cultivator. Of course, Qin Chen did not take out the Divine Spirit Source immediately. It contained quite powerful spiritual energy. If he rashly took it out of the system space, he would be easily detected. Taiyi Holy Land was a very big place. Back then, it was an immortal holy land that ruled over the southern wilderness. Its land area was vast and wide, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Qin Chen had been a handyman disciple for a while, so naturally he had discovered quite a number of secret locations. Therefore, after returning, he searched for a relatively hidden cave. For years, not a single person had been seen there. Moreover, he was going deep into the cave, so any movements could be easily concealed. Besides, Taiyi Holy Land was way too big. It was not easy for him to be discovered. Qin Chen took out the Divine Spirit Source from the system space, and started to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. At first, the dantian in his body felt rigid. But after continuous absorption of magnificent spiritual energy from the Divine Spirit Source, it expanded rapidly. Waves of divine power appeared, having been transformed from spiritual energy by the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, and filled the divine sea. The Chaotic Holy Body was the best body type from past to present. And the divine power being produced was derived from cultivating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra with that body. Just then, a divine power ocean with glowing golden ripples emerged. It looked like a trembling golden ocean, with surging, raging waves. It was a terrifying sight. A blinding golden light shone from within his body, illuminating the entire cave. Fortunately, he was inside a cave. It would have been dangerous if that had been discovered by the outside world. BOOM! BOOM! While he was cultivating, Qin Chen felt the blood energy throughout his body circulating. A powerful energy surged in his body, increasing his strength significantly. After successfully opening his divine sea, and entering the first human body realm ¨C Yiyuan Realm, Qin Chen officially became a cultivator. He was no longer a mortal, but a cultivator who could defy the heavens. Qin Chen was elated. One day, he would finally be able to become a true cultivator who could defy the heavens. If he cultivated to a high level, he would be able to fly in the sky, burrow into the ground and do many other great things. He might even reach the levels of the ancient great emperors. Qin Chen continued to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra without ceasing. After a day and night of cultivation, he finally stopped. He did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and full of energy, as if he could kill a scaled dragon with a single punch. He was not afraid of being discovered because the system could conceal everything. Even the Holy Lord would not notice that Qin Chen had successfully opened his divine sea. When he returned to the handyman yard, everything was as per normal. The elder in charge of the handyman yard and other handyman disciples did not notice that Qin Chen had disappeared for a full day and night. Taiyi Holy Land was just too big. Each sweeper handyman was responsible for a large area that could take ten days or even half a month to finish. As long as their areas were sufficiently clean, the handyman elders could not be bothered. That was exactly what Qin Chen wanted. After all, it would be normal for him to disappear for a few days while cultivating. When he returned, it was already dark. His residence was a small wooden house, and there was another old handyman inside drinking wine. The old handyman was already more than 70 years old. Although lacking in talent, he was still an Yiyuan Realm cultivator who had opened his divine sea. So he could, to a certain extent, extend his life. Therefore, he only looked 40 or 50 years old. Since Qin Chen arrived more than a year ago, the old handyman had taken good care of him, and never laughed at him. He was eating and drinking wine at that moment. It was one of the few pleasures he had. ¡°Senior.¡± Qin Chen went forward to greet the old handyman. They sat down together, lifted their bowls and started to eat. The food was provided by Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s food court. It was made of some herbs and contained just a bit of spiritual energy, which was beneficial to the body. Of course, that was mainly meant for the ordinary disciples. The old handyman was eating, when he suddenly looked at Qin Chen in surprise. The fallen prince looked different that day. He had grown a little taller and his eyes were bright. Something had definitely changed. Could he have succeeded in opening his Divine Sea? However, when he examined carefully, he did not sense the aura of a divine sea. The old handyman sighed softly. He was thinking too much. Qin Chen glanced at the old handyman. He knew that there was no need to worry about the old handyman¡¯s actions. With the system¡¯s concealment, even the Holy Lord would not be able to detect anything, let alone an old Yiyuan Realm handyman. He could not tell anyone about his ability to cultivate, the old handyman included. Once he was exposed, it would not just be a question of whether he would be able to cultivate. It would also expose the Chaotic Holy Body and even the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. An ordinary man is innocent, but guilty if he possesses treasure! He believed that many super experts in that world would be willing to fight tooth and nail for the Chaotic Holy Body and Chaotic Imperial Sutra. The two handymen had a simple chat and ended it there. The next day, Qin Chen did not go to Taiyi Main Hall because it would be suspicious if a handyman disciple appeared two days in a row. Instead, he went to a waterfall where official disciples of the holy land cultivated. He could sense that the spiritual energy there was rich. The waterfall was three thousand feet high, producing clouds of mist. Cranes soared in the sky, and spirit deer galloped. It was a fairyland-like scene. There were many official disciples cultivating in front of the waterfall, absorbing spiritual energy. Many of them were the same age as Qin Chen, and had already opened up their divine sea. Some were even in the Liangyi Realm, which was considered outstanding at that age. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the fallen prince.¡± ¡°What prince? Don¡¯t forget, he¡¯s been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty and is no longer a prince.¡± ¡°If I were the Great Qin Dynasty, I would not want to acknowledge such a useless mortal as a prince either.¡± When those official disciples saw that Qin Chen had arrived, they merely shot him an indifferent glance. They were somewhat arrogant. After all, they were official disciples who had opened up their divine seas and embarked on the true path of cultivation. In future, they would be reaching the Sancai Realm, with hopes of even becoming experts of the Sixiang Realm, doing magnificent things. On the other hand, handyman disciples of that sort often had no hope of cultivating in their entire lives. Even if they could cultivate, they would only be able to reach the Yiyuan Realm at most. If they were lucky, they might even reach Liangyi Realm. But that was it. The gap between them would only grow wider over time! However, they could not help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at that divine dynasty prince. They should have been looking up to him. But now he was just a handyman disciple, looking up to them instead. Qin Chen took note of the disciples¡¯ expressions, but did not say anything. He had already gotten used to it. Moreover, he was now able to cultivate, and was even the successor to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor with the Chaotic Holy Body. He was destined to rise from the dust. His heart had suddenly opened, and he could not be bothered to argue with those people. Low-key cultivation was the way to go. Suddenly, a young lady in a long white dress appeared. She had an oval face, and her skin was as white as snow. She was 28 years old. The lady was extremely beautiful and attracted the attention of all the disciples present. ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s Senior Ling Ran. Even she has come here!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The appearance of the girl in white had attracted the attention of all the disciples who were present. They began to discuss among themselves. ¡°Senior Ling Ran won the favor of the current Holy Lord, and he personally took her in as his direct disciple. I¡¯ve heard that her physique is extraordinary. It¡¯s the legendary King Body. At the age of 13, she had already reached the Liangyi Realm. And in the past three years, she has probably reached the Sancai Realm already.¡± ¡°I heard she already reached the Sancai Realm three months ago. There aren¡¯t many disciples of the same generation who are at that realm in the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, not to mention Senior Ling Ran is only 16 years old this year. We¡¯re the same age, but she¡¯s already a powerful cultivator in the Sancai Realm. She really puts us to shame.¡± ¡°Soon, the holy land will be selecting the Holy Son and Holy Daughter. With Senior Ling Ran¡¯s talent and age, she has a high chance of being selected!¡± Many of the disciples spoke in quiet voices. They looked towards Ling Ran, the Holy Lord¡¯s direct disciple, all of them envious. She had the legendary King Body, superb talent, and was the direct disciple of the incumbent Holy Lord. She definitely had a high chance of succeeding the current Holy Daughter. Qin Chen could not help but glance at Ling Ran. Her beauty was indeed out of this world. Her every move exhibited a different kind of charm, and she seemed to be one with heaven and earth. Moreover, to have reached the Sancai Realm at that age, she must be very strong. One had to understand that each of the 10 major realms in the cultivation world were as different as heaven and earth. Opening the divine sea, entering the Yiyuan Realm and officially becoming a cultivator was merely the starting point. Any Yiyuan Realm cultivator would have the strength of tens of thousands of pounds. In the mortal world, one could become the most powerful general, far exceeding ordinary people. Entering the Liangyi Realm meant that one had the ability to fly in the air and burrow underground. In the mortal world, many would consider the person immortal. Upon reaching the Sancai Realm, the cultivator¡¯s spiritual wisdom would be greatly broadened, and he or she would begin to understand the spirits. The cultivator would be able to split mountains and cleave stones, with terrifying strength. ¡­ The increase in abilities from one major realm to another was not as simple as one plus one. If not for the system, Qin Chen would not have been able to open his divine sea, let alone possess the Chaotic Holy Body. Ling Ran was about the same age, but had already reached the Sancai Realm. Among the numerous disciples in Taiyi Holy Land, she was definitely outstanding. She had even been accepted as the direct disciple of the Taiyi Holy Lord in advance. Her future prospects were limitless. Before he had gotten the system, he would have had to look up to her, as if she was a cherished daughter of heaven. Ling Ran had a cold expression. Wherever she went, the other disciples made way. But she did not stay there. Soon after, she rode on a long rainbow and left through the sky, leaving her beautiful backview. ¡°What a pity. I thought Senior Ling Ran would be cultivating here.¡± ¡°You were over optimistic. Senior Ling Ran is a direct disciple of the Holy Lord and a candidate for Holy Daughter. She receives a special supply of spirit stones for cultivation every month, and has her own personal cultivation cave. She doesn¡¯t need to work so hard to cultivate like us ordinary disciples.¡± As a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, and a candidate for Holy Daughter, naturally her treatment was different from the rest. She had a personal cultivation cave and spirit stones given to her for cultivation. Qin Chen briefly glanced at the beautiful figure of the Holy Daughter candidate Ling Ran as she left, before immediately saying silently, ¡°System, I want to check in here!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded 100 exotic spirit stones ¨C Purple Crystals.] In the system space, 100 different types of Purple Crystals appeared. As exotic spirit stones, each one was equivalent to 30 pounds of spirit stones. In total, they were equivalent to 3,000 pounds of spirit stones. ¡°What a pity, such a small amount of spirit stones.¡± Qin Chen mumbled in disappointment. Compared to the Divine Spirit Source at Taiyi Main Hall, it was almost a hundred times worse. However, it made sense. Taiyi Main Hall had been built on the intersection of past dragon vessels and origin vessels. Plus, its terrain was extraordinary. The place he was at was merely a cultivation location for ordinary disciples. Getting 3,000 pounds worth of spirit stones in exotic Purple Crystals was already pretty good. If the other disciples found out, they would certainly be appalled. Because they were only allocated a spirit stone the size of a baby¡¯s fist each month ¨C not even half a pound. Even Ling Ran, a direct disciple of the Holy Lord, as well as many other elders, could only obtain up to 1,000 pounds of spirit stones a month. Yet, he had looked down on his large number of spirit stones. He should be ashamed. After that, Qin Chen returned to the hidden cave. This time, he took out the exotic spirit stones to cultivate. He operated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and continuously devoured spiritual energy from the exotic spirit stones, transforming them into his own divine power. His cultivation was steadily improving. Before he realized it, a month had passed since Qin Chen first obtained the check-in system. The place with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s footprint was being heavily monitored by the holy land. And Taiyi Main Hall was not a place he could casually visit. So during that period of time, Qin Chen had basically checked in to various small places nearby. Of course, the divinity of those places were far inferior to those at Taiyi Main Hall and the place with the emperor¡¯s mark, and so were the check-in rewards he received. As for other places that might contain powerful divinity, they were either important or forbidden areas within the holy land, not places that ordinary people could set foot on. Furthermore, those places were far away. Therefore, before Qin Chen had reached a sufficiently high cultivation level, he did not dare to take the risk. Even so, by checking in, Qin Chen had earned heaps of spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, precious medicine, extraordinary materials for the forging of weapons, and so on. If information about those treasures were to get out, it would be enough to make the elders of Taiyi Holy Land ¨C even the supreme elders ¨C green with envy. After a month of cultivation, the 100 Purple Crystals had been completely exhausted. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In a short amount of time, Qin Chen had leapt from level one of the Yiyuan Realm to level eight, and finally reached the peak of Yiyuan ¨C level nine. Next, was the Liangyi Realm. If word of his progression got out, it would definitely shock the world. In just a month, Qin Chen had gone from mortal to the peak of Yiyuan Realm. Such cultivation speed was rare. But it was actually expected for Qin Chen, as long as he had sufficient spirit stones. This was because he had the Divine Spirit Source, lots of exotic spirit stones, and the strongest physique ¨C Chaotic Holy Body, paired with the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. After all, people with that kind of physique could break all sorts of ancient cultivation records, if they wanted to. And at the early stage, one could break through those cultivation realms by spirit stones alone. Of course, Qin Chen did not disclose any of that. He knew very well that people would leave an ordinary man alone, but target one who held anything of value. As soon as other people found out that he had become a peak Yiyuan Realm cultivator, moreover with the Chaotic Holy Body, and had even mastered the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, countless forces would be fighting over him. Even the elderly might be tempted to leap up from their deathbeds to take over his body, just to obtain that Chaotic Holy Body. He had to be cautious. Fortunately, the system was able to hide his aura. Even when the Holy Lord, elders and other important figures occasionally passed by him, they had not noticed the changes in Qin Chen. One should note that even though Taiyi Holy Land had declined, its elders were still great cultivators of the Sixiang and Wuxing Realms. The Holy Lord was even a super expert of the Liuhe Realm, far stronger than Qin Chen currently. Since even they had not discovered anything, Qin Chen felt a lot more at ease. One day, Qin Chen went to an elder¡¯s mountain to clean. He sensed divinity there and decided to check in. [Congratulations, you have obtained the heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge, Heaven Shaking Hand.] ¡°A heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge!¡± Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. As cultivation techniques existed in that world, naturally, supernormal knowledge spells existed too. They were divided into heaven, earth, black and yellow grades, with heaven being the highest and yellow the lowest. Those were then further divided into three stages ¨C beginner, intermediate and advanced. The higher the level of supernormal knowledge, the greater one could exhibit his powers. He had obtained the supernormal knowledge Heaven Shaking Hand, and it was even a heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge. One could imagine how powerful it was. In the whole of Taiyi Holy Land, there were only a few heaven-grade supernormal knowledges. When he arrived back, Qin Chen started cultivating Heaven Shaking Hand immediately, as expected. As a heaven-grade beginner supernormal knowledge, Heaven Shaking Hand was truly infinitely mysterious. Even with his Chaotic Holy Body and superb talent, it took Qin Chen half a month to barely grasp the basics of Heaven Shaking Hand. If it were anyone else from the Liangyi or even Sancai Realm, not to mention the Yiyuan Realm, they would not have successfully cultivated it. That was the amazing thing about the Chaotic Holy Body. BOOM! With a thunderous sound, Qin Chen unleashed Heaven Shaking Hand in an empty valley, slapping a cliff beside him. The frightening power generated punched a large cave right into the cliff, which showed his amazing strength. However, it also exhausted almost all of Qin Chen¡¯s divine power. Because the consumption for that sort of heaven-grade supernormal knowledge was simply massive. Qin Chen took in the scene before him, as he gasped for breath. He was very satisfied with the power of Heaven Shaking Hand. When used with his peak Yiyuan Realm cultivation, he could kill normal Liangyi Realm cultivators, and even pose a threat to powerful cultivators of the Sancai Realm. He had essentially earned a life-saving trump card. For the rest of the time, Qin Chen kept checking in at various places within Taiyi Holy Land. Due to his rudimentary cultivation, he could only check in at nearby places. Those places were neither important or forbidden, so the rewards were not particularly good either. But he was able to obtain lots of spirit stones, exotic spirit stones, precious medicines, secret techniques, and so on. His harvest was plentiful. Time passed quietly. Without realizing it, two years had passed since Qin Chen¡¯s first check-in. He was now an 18-year-old youth. He was tall and handsome. His eyes shone brightly like the stars, and his nose bridge was high and sharp. In addition, his Chaotic Holy Body was in harmony with heaven and earth. He had an exceptional disposition, just like an ancient great emperor in his youth. Of course, when facing the outside world, Qin Chen always hid his true appearance and cultivation. In the past two years, after consuming the Divine Spirit Source and enough spirit stones to fill an ocean, he had reached the peak of the Sancai Realm. In an immortal holy land at its peak, not to mention a declining land like Taiyi Holy Land, a Sancai Realm cultivator would already be considered a core disciple. In general, even if a person was recruited into a holy land to cultivate from young, he or she would only be able to enter the Sancai Realm after the age of 20. However, Qin Chen was only 18. It had taken him just two years to reach the peak of Sancai Realm. He was definitely a rare animal. Next, was the Sixiang Realm. After entering the Sixiang Realm, a person¡¯s physical fitness would be upgraded to the next level. In a declining holy land like Taiyi Holy Land, that person would already be qualified to take on the position of ordinary elder. ¡°After two years of cultivation, I¡¯ve finally reached the peak of Sancai Realm. I can definitely be called a core disciple in Taiyi Holy Land now. If the holy land finds out, I¡¯m afraid many supreme elders and even the Holy Lord himself might take me in as a direct disciple,¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself. Having cultivated until the peak of the Sancai Realm, he had an exceptional disposition and natural charm. But his ambition did not end there. Now that he had accumulated enough, he could enter the Sixiang Realm immediately. Once he entered the realm, the Chaotic Holy Body ¨C the number one physique in the universe ¨C would show its true, heaven-defying nature for the first time. However, it was the Dharma-ending Age and cultivation was difficult. As soon as someone broke through the Liuhe Realm, heaven and earth would be triggered, and heavenly tribulations would descend upon the world. Even more so for Qin Chen, who had the Chaotic Holy Body. He was a rare animal. If he broke through the Sixiang Realm, the appearance of terrifying heavenly tribulations was inevitable. Qin Chen had long accumulated enough at the Sancai Realm. He also had a large amount of exotic spirit stones, Divine Spirit Source, precious medicine and so on, which he was preparing to use to get through the tribulations. Of course, he could not break through in Taiyi Holy Land. Otherwise, he would attract great attention. Qin Chen quietly left Taiyi Holy Land. It had declined after all, so the cultivators guarding the gate were not very strong. They were only in the Liangyi Realm. With the Chaotic Holy Body¡¯s ability to cross boundaries and battle immortals, the guards did not even notice his departure. When he was sufficiently far from Taiyi Holy Land, he started to shed his disguise. He was as handsome as jade. And as he stepped into the air, he looked like a rainbow across the sky. In the Liangyi Realm, one could start walking in the air. In the Sancai Realm, you could walk more freely and relaxed, just like how mortals saw immortals, flying through clouds and mist with ease. Qin Chen was 100,000 miles away from Taiyi Holy Land. He chose a wilderness far from human habitation to undergo his tribulation. BOOM! BOOM! Qin Chen began to break through, and step into the Sixiang Realm. Terrifying heavenly tribulations descended from the sky. One after another, the heavenly tribulations spoken about in legends descended, bombarding Qin Chen. Qin Chen had the strength of the Chaotic Holy Body. His physique was peerless among those in the same realm. It was even comparable to that of an Wuxing Realm grandmaster. Yet, his skin and flesh split open until his bones became visible, and torrents of golden blood shot into the sky. However, Qin Chen was prepared. He unleashed Heaven Shaking Hand, Chaotic Vitality Heavenly Dipper, and other incredible supernormal knowledges he had obtained from checking in, all to protect himself against the heavenly tribulations. Loads and loads of spirit stones gushed out from the system space. He devoured every one of them, converted them into a massive amount of energy, and absorbed the energy into his body for recovery. Following that, was all kinds of valuable exotic spirit stones. Finally, the Divine Spirit Source appeared. After a long time, the ten-sided mountain range below had been bombarded by the terrifying heavenly tribulations into a scorched wasteland. Then, the heavenly tribulations finally dispersed. Qin Chen was covered in blood. He did not know how many bones and tendons he had broken. He had finally successfully undergone the tribulations, and become a powerful cultivator of the Sixiang Realm. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In Taiyi Holy Land, cultivators in the Sixiang Realm were already considered the top few masters. They could split mountains and cleave stones, engage wild beasts in close combat, and were qualified to take on elder positions. Many core disciples never even reached that level. Qin Chen took out a bottle of precious pills from the system space and swallowed them. Immediately, visible to the naked eye, his injuries started to heal rapidly until he was back to his peak. The movement of energy had shaken the surrounding areas, causing many strong wild beasts in the desolate mountains to submit to its power. After feeling the power of the force, Qin Chen was quite satisfied. After two years of cultivation, he had finally entered the Sixiang Realm. From that moment on, he could be considered an expert. In Taiyi Holy Land, besides the elders, not many disciples had reached the Sixiang Realm. Even in an immortal divine dynasty like the Great Qin Dynasty, very few princes and princesses could reach the Sixiang Realm before the age of 20. All who did were given special attention, richly nurtured and regarded as strong contenders for Imperial Lord in the future. In other words, Qin Chen, the forsaken prince banished from the imperial family, had already surpassed many princes and princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, Qin Chen was aware of the dangers of the world. Sixiang Realm cultivators were considered experts in the mortal world, even in some small sects. But compared to immortal heritages like ancient families, immortal holy lands and ancient dynasties, they were still considered weak. Those kinds of immortal heritages had Liuhe Realm great grandmasters, and even Qiyao Realm peerless kings. When Qin Chen returned to Taiyi Holy Land, he continued to keep everything under wraps. After two years, he felt that it was about time, so he headed to Taiyi Main Hall again. Suddenly, as he was preparing to check in, an extremely beautiful woman appeared. She had silky smooth skin and unrivaled beauty. There was a unique coldness about her, and she exuded a powerful aura. She was already at level nine of Sancai. It was Ling Ran from before. She had long become the Holy Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land. A handsome young man walked out alongside her. He was Zhao Yi, the Holy Son of Taiyi Holy Land. He was also at level nine of Sancai. As the incumbent Holy Son and Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land, they had been richly nurtured by the entire holy land. Therefore, it made sense for them to have reached the peak of the Sancai Realm when they were still only Qin Chen¡¯s age. When they appeared, Ling Ran glanced at Qin Chen, as if surprised that a handyman disciple would be there. On the other hand, Holy Son Zhao Yi completely ignored Qin Chen. He only smiled as he spoke with Ling Ran, and they left together. After them, quite a number of official disciples walked out one after another. They looked at the well-matched Holy Son and Daughter with envy and said, ¡°As expected of Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Holy Son and Daughter. They¡¯ve both reached level nine of Sancai. In the next two years, I believe they¡¯ll enter the Sixiang Realm, and be able to compete with the top talents of the Southern Desolate Lands.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯ve already reached level nine of Sancai at the age of 18. They are some of the top talents in history. Especially the Holy Daughter. She¡¯s already at the peak of Sancai, and will probably enter the Sixiang Realm in half a year.¡± ¡°The Holy Daughter is extremely talented. It¡¯s said that she has the Zixia Body, which is almost as good as the legendary Innate Dao Fetus!¡± ¡°Back then, the Holy Lord paid a huge price to fight for the Holy Daughter to join Taiyi Holy Land!¡± The group of official disciples left, having similarly ignored Qin Chen completely. Qin Chen calmly watched them leave. Two years to reach level nine of Sancai. Such cultivation speed was considered very fast, comparable even to the major King Bodies of the world. Of course, it was nothing compared to his. He had a check-in system, which allowed him to advance from mortal to Sixiang Realm monster in two years. However, the fact that Ling Ran had the Zixia Body, was indeed unexpected. The Zixia Body was a legendary King Body. It was comparable to the Divine Body, Underworld King Body, Sun Divine Body, as well as other King Bodies. Upon mastery of it, the cultivator would become a sovereign venerable. Of course, it was still far inferior to his Chaotic Holy Body. ¡°System, I want to check in here!¡± Qin Chen quietly uttered in his heart. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Human King Seal.] Qin Chen was quite surprised. Over the past two years, he had checked in at Taiyi Main Hall no less than ten times. As time passed, the rewards from places he could repeatedly check in to got worse and worse. He did not expect to obtain a powerful supernormal knowledge like the Human King Seal this time. That supernormal knowledge was a heaven-grade advanced supernormal knowledge. After cultivating to the Sixiang Realm, Qin Chen¡¯s strength had increased greatly. It was easier for him to travel to other places within Taiyi Holy Land. 10,000 miles a day was no issue at all. As a result, he could check in to a lot more important places. When he checked in in front of the Holy Lord¡¯s mountain, he had obtained Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s legendary supernormal knowledge, Taiyi Holy Technique. When he checked in in front of the ancient herb garden, he obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Precious Medicine. When he checked in at the holy land¡¯s deepest ancestral land, Void Abyss, he obtained the Ancient Void Technique. ¡­ It was only then that Qin Chen realized, although Taiyi Holy Land appeared to be a declining immortal holy land, it still contained countless historical remains. Furthermore, many ancient great emperors had clearly left their marks there. When he checked in to various places within Taiyi Holy Land, he had actually successively obtained several imperial technique supernormal knowledges which were higher than heaven-grade. They had all come from ancient great emperors, or primordial emperors. Qin Chen suspected that Taiyi Holy Land had been an ancient great emperor¡¯s place of enlightenment in the primordial era. It was just that the long period of time had eroded everything away, causing most of the traces of the former great emperor to disappear. Taiyi Holy Land was extremely lucky to have been built on the remains of such a great emperor. No wonder even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had set foot there. Qin Chen checked in and obtained countless treasures without stopping. His cultivation also improved continuously by leaps and bounds. He kept leaving Taiyi Holy Land in search of the wilderness, in order to undergo tribulations and upgrade. In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed. It was Qin Chen¡¯s 10th year of checking in. He was now a 26-year-old young man. During that period, he had kept a low profile and did not display the slightest bit of talent in cultivation. He only showed a passable level of martial arts cultivation, and continued to sweep all around the sect. Of course, he would also take such opportunities to secretly check in at various important and forbidden places. In the past few years, Qin Chen had actually witnessed many handyman disciples work hard to secretly watch and learn cultivation from the official disciples. They hoped to also one day step onto the path of cultivation. However, they had not succeeded. Those who had been assessed and assigned to become handyman disciples had very ordinary talent, and very slim hopes. On the other hand, Qin Chen was calm. If he had not received the system, he would definitely have hoped to become an official disciple. He might even have behaved like the other handyman disciples. After all, he had heard so many mysterious and wonderful things before transmigrating from earth. He had also hoped to cultivate to become an immortal. But he was no longer the same person. After checking in for 10 years, he had entered the fifth realm, the Wuxing Realm. That¡¯s right, the Wuxing Realm. He could now be called a grandmaster. Any cultivator who had reached the Wuxing Realm could become a grandmaster. In an immortal holy land at its peak, ancient family or ancient dynasty, he would definitely qualify as an elder. It was a position everyone aimed for. In those ten years, Qin Chen had obtained countless pills, precious medicine, spirit stones, supernormal knowledge, secret techniques, and so on. With his heaven-defying Chaotic Holy Body and the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, his cultivation had advanced at a tremendous pace. Liangyi in one month, Sancai in three years, Sixiang in four years, and Wuxing in six years. Four years ago, he had reached the Wuxing Realm and become a grandmaster. Today, he was now already at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. He was one of the top great cultivators in the entire Taiyi Holy Land. Only the Holy Lord who had entered the Liuhe Realm, as well as any old fogeys who might be hiding their abilities, could defeat him. No one else was his match. Taiyi Holy Land was merely a declining holy land, after all. How many Liuhe Realm grandmasters could it possibly have? It was far inferior to ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces that were currently at their peaks. Moreover, the Chaotic Holy Body was undefeatable among others of the same level. It also had the power to slash immortals and cross many small realms to battle. For example, at level one of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen could easily defeat those at levels seven, eight, and even nine of the Wuxing Realm. That was the amazing thing about the Chaotic Holy Body. Having cultivated until level nine of the Wuxing Realm, Qin Chen was confident of crushing a regular Liuhe Realm great grandmaster easily. But even after reaching that level of cultivation, Qin Chen still had not exposed himself. He did not even have the slightest intention of doing that. He knew how scary the cultivation world was. The so-called Wuxing Realm grandmasters might be the most invincible in the mortal world, or even in numerous small sects. However, they were far behind ancient families, holy lands, ancient dynasties and other immortal forces. As the former 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother previously one of the most powerful figures around, Qin Chen knew a lot despite being a mortal. Those immortal heritages were not like Taiyi Holy Land, where Wuxing Realm grandmasters could become supreme elders. Only Liuhe Realm great grandmasters qualified. Furthermore, their imperial lords, holy lords and family heads were all Qiyao Realm kings. Some were even Bahuang Realm venerables. Within the insanely strong Canglan Continent, cultivators in the Wuxing Realm were merely considered small cultivators. So Qin Chen had to be careful. Qin Chen was very steady and cautious. He thought that he should be careful even after reaching the Liuhe Realm. That day, as Qin Chen was sweeping the floor, he saw many disciples flying across the sky like rainbows. He heard the conversation among some of them as they passed by. ¡°The Holy Son and Daughter have gone to the Demon Sealing Land to explore. Let¡¯s go take a look!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Oh my God, is that true? Someone is finally venturing into Demon Sealing Land after so many years!¡± ¡°Demon Sealing Land is the ultimate hurdle for all disciples in the holy land. It¡¯s said to be a cultivation trial ground left by a great venerable of Taiyi Holy Land in the ancient times. It contains that great venerable¡¯s opportunity!¡± ¡°I wonder if the Holy Son and Daughter can break through Demon Sealing Land?¡± ¡­ A large number of disciples rushed to Demon Sealing Land. Many elders followed behind. When he heard that, Qin Chen¡¯s expression instantly changed. He knew about Demon Sealing Land, of course. It was a cultivation trial ground belonging to Taiyi Holy Land. It was rumored that in the ancient times, when Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak, there was a great venerable who was more powerful than anyone else in the entire Southern Desolate Lands. That great venerable¡¯s cultivation was unparalleled. He had reached the legendary Bahuang Realm and was invincible. When the great venerable was traversing the world, he once fought with a demonic venerable for hegemony. They engaged in an earth-shattering battle, until the blood shed was enough to cover 100,000 mountains and rivers. After fighting for three days and three nights, the great venerable of Taiyi Holy Land eventually killed the demonic venerable and brought him back to Taiyi Holy Land. Using venerable techniques ahead of his generation, he created a cultivation trial ground in the holy land. That place was now Demon Sealing Land. It was left specially for future generations of disciples, to venture in and gain experience. Moreover, a colossal opportunity left by the great venerable was rumored to be sealed inside. There were even rumors that it was the great venerable¡¯s inheritance, as well as his weapon. But it could only be obtained by passing through Demon Sealing Land. However, tens of thousands of years had passed, and no disciple of Taiyi Holy Land had managed to pass through Demon Sealing Land. Because there was a restriction in place. Only disciples below 100 years old were allowed to enter. In addition, they needed to at least be at the Wuxing Realm to mount a real challenge. That point alone had eliminated more than 90% of the people in Taiyi Holy Land. Only a few elders and the Holy Lord qualified. However, the Holy Lord and elders were part of the older generation. They were not permitted to venture in. They could only enter if a disciple successfully passed through. In recent years, no one had succeeded in breaking in. All the more because Taiyi Holy Land had already been in decline for many years. As a result, Demon Sealing Land had been covered in dust for many years. As for the colossal opportunity left by the great venerable, Taiyi Holy Land was simply willing but unable to accept it. Qin Chen also headed to Demon Sealing Land. When he arrived, fearsome sounds of battle reverberated from the abyss-like Demon Sealing Land. Occasionally, streams of rainbow lights shot into the sky. That was the power of the Wuxing Realm, tearing through the air. It was petrifying. The large group of disciples did not dare to go close. Even some of the weaker elders did not dare to as well. ¡°They have already reached the second stage. As expected of the Holy Son and Daughter. They are indeed impressive. We wouldn¡¯t even be able to pass the first stage ourselves!¡± ¡°Each person is different, there¡¯s no point in comparing!¡± ¡°To be able to become the Holy Son and Daughter, of course they must be extraordinary!¡± Qin Chen did not stand too close. But he had obtained the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye a few years ago, so he could view all the battles in Demon Sealing Land. Holy Daughter Ling Ran and Holy Son Zhao Yi were being besieged by huge demonic shadows as they passed through. The demonic shadows had the combat strength of level one of Wuxing Realm. And there were more than ten of them, which was very shocking. The two of them showed extraordinary cultivation. Those were definitely the abilities of cultivators at the Wuxing Realm. Holy Son Zhao Yi was at level one of the Wuxing Realm. Holy Daughter Ling Ran was at level three of the Wuxing Realm, much stronger than Zhao Yi. As Holy Daughter Ling Ran was more powerful, sword energy filled the sky whenever she performed her swordsmanship. She quickly destroyed and annihilated the demonic shadows. Very quickly, the numerous demonic shadows in the second stage were completely eliminated. The two of them had passed the stage successfully. In the third stage, 32 demonic shadows with the strength of level three of the Wuxing Realm appeared. They started attacking the two. Soon, Holy Son Zhao Yi flew out. He was drenched in blood and looked extremely embarrassed. His face was pale. If he had run a little slower, he might have died there. Now only Holy Daughter Ling Ran, who was also at level three of the Wuxing Realm, was left trying to break through. Holy Daughter Ling Ran was clearly stronger. After all, she had the legendary Zixia Body. Wisps of bright purple clouds surrounded her body, just like the Empress Ziwei, as she fought the numerous demonic shadows. BOOM! After a long time, with a thunderous sound, Ling Ran¡¯s figure soared into the sky from Demon Sealing Land. Her figure was still slender and beautiful, but there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She had failed to break through. Many sighed in disappointment. Several elders also sighed a little. In so many years, Ling Ran was the first holy land disciple to have gone that far. Unfortunately, her cultivation level was still not high enough. From a distance, Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran in surprise too. She had actually made it to the fourth stage. She was indeed incredible. The demonic shadows in the fourth stage had strength comparable to level five of the Wuxing Realm. They were much stronger, and there were 72 of them. Even with the legendary Zixia Body, Ling Ran was destined to fail. However, just reaching that stage had proved how powerful Ling Ran was. Even though the elders had sighed, they also praised Ling Ran, saying she would definitely be able to clear the Demon Sealing Land in less than 20 years. No one noticed that Qin Chen had been looking at the Demon Sealing Land, deep in thought. ¡­ Late at night. Qin Chen took the opportunity to go to Demon Sealing Land when no one was around. A daunting abyss came into view. It was Demon Sealing Land. Just then, Qin Chen leapt into it and hung in the air. Immediately, endless amounts of demonic fog appeared in the abyss. Huge demonic shadows more than 100 feet tall emerged, one after another. They were ferocious, with a powerful aura, and charged towards Qin Chen at lightning speed. The demonic shadows had all reached the Sixiang Realm. They were very powerful. Qin Chen was aware of how the demonic shadows came about. Back then, the great venerable had fused the Demon King he had killed together with an array, creating the demonic shadows which were then used to train future generations. His expression did not change. Incredibly powerful golden blood energy burst from his Chaotic Holy Body, pouring down like the Nine Heaven Divine Furnace. The massive amount of golden blood energy, with supreme tough and supreme yang characteristics, drowned everything in sight. It incinerated the demonic shadows one by one, annihilating them. In the blink of an eye, he had passed the first stage! It could not be helped. The blood energy of the Chaotic Holy Body was too strong. It was also supremely tough and supremely yang. The demonic shadows, on the other hand, were supremely yin and supremely evil. So they had been greatly restrained. Getting rid of the first 12 demonic shadows was only the first stage. There was a total of five stages in Demon Sealing Land. The first stage had 12 demonic shadows, second stage 24 demonic shadows, third stage 36 demonic shadows, fourth stage 72 demonic shadows, and fifth stage 108 demonic shadows. Very quickly, 24 demonic shadows appeared. They were as powerful as those at level one of the Wuxing Realm. The demonic shadows at each stage were more powerful than the last, and also greater in number. That was why for many years, Taiyi Holy Land had never had a disciple make it through Demon Sealing Land. Qin Chen continued to release blood energy that was as strong as the sun. The demonic shadows, comparable to level one of the Wuxing Realm, were easily defeated and killed. They did not stand a chance. Not only was the blood energy of the Chaotic Holy Body extremely powerful, he was also a powerful cultivator of level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio He had passed two stages easily. Not long after, 36 demonic shadows appeared. They were all comparable to level three of the Wuxing Realm, much more powerful than before. Not many in Taiyi Holy Land could pass through the demonic shadows of the third stage. Ling Ran was the only known disciple of the holy land who could pass through. Even with Qin Chen¡¯s powerful golden blood energy, the demonic shadows could not be extinguished immediately. The demonic shadows roared and charged towards him. However, when their attacks landed on his body, there was merely a clanging sound. That was because his body was peerless. He had the Chaotic Holy Body and was unbelievably powerful. Qin Chen only utilized his absolutely powerful Chaotic Holy Body. He could not even be bothered to use supernormal knowledge. Very quickly, each punch he threw blew up a demonic shadow at level three of the Wuxing Realm. They were turned into pitch-black demonic fog, then burned up by blood energy. The third stage was still relatively easy for him, partly due to his innate restraint. At the fourth stage, 72 powerful demonic shadows appeared. Demonic energy shot into the sky as they charged towards Qin Chen. Those 72 demonic shadows had the frightening ability of level seven of the Wuxing Realm. Even with Ling Ran¡¯s Zixia Body and ability to fight across realms, she stood no chance. Qin Chen let out a loud roar, which reverberated through the entire abyss. He started operating the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. The five major realms ¨C Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang and Wuxing ¨C were all shining within his body. His powerful golden blood energy was radiating light, as his five internal organs chanted the sutra. It looked like his limbs were going to transform into four Heavenly Divine Pillars, and his spine to a Nine Heaven Divine Dragon. He was clearly at level nine of the Wuxing Realm, but Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body exuded an aura far beyond that. His might was not the slightest bit inferior to that of a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster. In particular, the Chaotic Holy Body was supremely tough and supremely yang, which restrained demons. Like a heavenly dragon, he bombarded a punch, instantly blowing up a demonic shadow. The demonic shadow was just a product of an array, after all. It was not a real expert at level seven of the Wuxing Realm. The difference was significant. Then, Qin Chen threw a second punch, third punch, one punch after another. Each punch seemed like a meteorite falling to the ground, containing unimaginable power. They annihilated each and every demonic shadow and turned them into ashes. In the end, all 72 demonic shadows were killed. He had successfully passed the fourth stage! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! At the last stage, 108 demonic shadows appeared. They were all comparable to level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Even a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster might not be able to pass through 108 demonic shadows at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Qin Chen strode over. His Chaotic Holy Body was unparalleled. He unleashed blood energy from every area of his body and attacked with all his might. It was the first time he was fighting at full strength since obtaining the system. With the Chaotic Holy Body¡¯s formidable offensive powers, he was already on par with a great grandmaster of the Liuhe Realm. He employed all kinds of supernormal knowledge he had obtained from checking in to fight the 108 level nine Wuxing demonic shadows. For example, the Taiyi Holy Technique, Ancient Void Technique, Human King Seal, and so on. In the process, fresh golden blood splashed out. But he recovered quickly. Besides, the demonic shadows did not really exist, so they could not withstand as much as a true level nine Wuxing. In the end, all 108 demonic shadows were slaughtered. Within the abyss, the demonic energy had been completely eradicated, leaving only Qin Chen. He stood upright like a god, and descended into the deepest part of the abyss. The bottom of the pitch-black abyss was a big land covered in demonic blood. A hill stood there in desolate silence. A large halberd had been left on the hill. The halberd pierced the ground. After tens of thousands of years, there was no sign of decay, and it still contained some kind of immortal divinity. It looked like an invincible divine weapon. As soon as Qin Chen arrived, a majestic figure appeared on the hill. An aura as grand and majestic as the ocean instantly filled the air, causing the air to tremble. It caused him to become breathless, as if he was being pinned down by a mountain. He was getting prepared to face a great enemy, but soon realized that it was not a real person. It was an impression. Qin Chen had seen portraits of great Taiyi Holy Lords throughout history in the Sutra Depository. He quickly recognized the figure. Wasn¡¯t that the great venerable of the holy land who had ruled over the Southern Desolate Lands in the past? ¡°Congratulations, you have passed my test. Your ability to pass the test of Demon Sealing Land before 100 years old proves your immense talent. In future, you will be carrying out the important tasks of Taiyi Holy Land. I hope that when that day comes, you will live up to the holy land¡¯s high hopes for you. You will help the holy land defeat all evil and lead it to greater heights!¡± ¡°This is the weapon I used to conquer the world in the past. I hope that in your hands, they will one day be able to completely regain their former glory!¡± The great venerable¡¯s impression looked at him and said. Qin Chen looked at the figure solemnly. He knew that the impression could not see him, but replied with sincerity, ¡°Senior, I am just a sweeper handyman. I cannot guarantee that I¡¯ll be able to lead Taiyi Holy Land to the top. But I guarantee that as long as I am alive, I will do everything I can to protect it. I will not let it be destroyed!¡± As if he had heard Qin Chen, the impression left by the great venerable smiled, and then dissipated. Qin Chen went to the top of the hill, grabbed the large halberd, and pulled it out with great strength. He could feel the heaviness of the halberd. Even with his current power, he could feel his arm being weighed down. He was now so powerful that he could lift mountains and rivers, and throw mountains aside with ease. Yet, he felt that the halberd was heavy. So the halberd was really no less heavy than a mountain. However, it was a pleasant surprise for Qin Chen. He could sense that the halberd was an invincible divine weapon. A simple wave of it and the void trembled. So one could imagine how formidable it was. It was definitely not an ordinary weapon. All of a sudden, the divine power in his body started involuntarily pouring into the large halberd. BOOM! The halberd suddenly glowed with limitless light. It pierced through the abyss and appeared in the outside world, shocking the entire Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°This is bad!¡± ¡°I only entered Demon Sealing Land to test how strong I was. I didn¡¯t expect to accidentally awaken a divine weapon and cause such a commotion!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s face changed. He immediately stowed the halberd in the system space and soared into the sky. With unsurpassable speed, he disappeared like lightning. Not long after, Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Holy Lord and many supreme elders appeared above Demon Sealing Land. They were shocked to find a residual powerful aura, which Qin Chen had left after breaking through. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look!¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord and supreme elders decided to enter the Demon Sealing Land abyss to investigate. If someone had truly broken through the Demon Sealing Land, then the restrictions set by the great venerable years ago would no longer be in place. Even those above 100 years old would be able to enter. As expected, they were able to easily enter Demon Sealing Land. They could even descend to the deepest part. They discovered that the invincible divine halberd left by the former venerable and Holy Lord had also disappeared. ¡°What? Someone actually managed to break through Demon Sealing Land?¡± ¡°Who could it be?¡± ¡°Demon Sealing Land contains an array left by an ancient great venerable. Only a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster, and under the age of 100, can enter. Who could it be?¡± ¡°But in our sect, other than the Holy Lord and a few old fogeys, when was there ever a young, great grandmaster of the Liuhe Realm?¡± The upper echelons were all stunned. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The upper echelons were all stunned. A great grandmaster in the Liuhe Realm was considered a top expert even in ancient families, immortal holy lands, ancient dynasties, and other powerful forces. Taiyi Holy Land had declined a long time ago. Other than the Holy Lord and a few old fogeys, there were no other top experts at that level. However, they could sense that the abyss contained an intricate, powerful aura that did not dissipate for a long time. After careful inspection, they all gasped in shock, ¡°It wasn¡¯t a Liuhe Realm great grandmaster. It was an Wuxing Realm grandmaster level expert. But all the Wuxing Realm experts of Taiyi Holy Land are here. None of them entered Demon Sealing Land. Besides, even if an expert at level nine of Wuxing Realm breaks through Demon Sealing Land, he or she is not likely to survive.¡± ¡°There¡¯s one more condition ¨C you must be under 100 years old. Otherwise, the previous Holy Lords would long have come and taken away the former great venerable¡¯s colossal opportunity.¡± Everyone was dumbfounded. Who was it? Soon, their expressions darkened. They guessed that a young, supreme expert from the outside world had very likely sneaked into Taiyi Holy Land, broken through Demon Sealing Land, and taken away the colossal opportunity left by the former venerable. Even the holy land¡¯s most outstanding genius disciple, the current Holy Daughter Ling Ran, had only managed to reach the fourth stage. Although she had received tons of resources, she was still only at level three of the Wuxing Realm. The Holy Lord and supreme elders immediately activated a large array to seal off Taiyi Holy Land. The divine weapon left by the former venerable and Holy Lord had been taken. It must at least have been a venerable-grade divine weapon. To the declining Taiyi Holy Land, it was a very important item. It was not something they could lose. However, after they sealed off Taiyi Holy Land, the Holy Lord and elders personally searched the land many times over, but found nothing. Of course, they would not have noticed Qin Chen, who was silently sweeping in front of an ancient hall. After a fruitless search, the Holy Lord and elders gathered again. Their expressions were sombre. ¡°This is no simple person. We have searched so hard, and still not found him. Who could have broken into Taiyi Holy Land, gotten through Demon Sealing Land without a sound, and obtained the ancestral master¡¯s invincible divine weapon?¡± ¡°D*mn it! With the venerable¡¯s divine weapon now missing, what¡¯s more unnerving is that the divine halberd in Demon Sealing Land was not only the weapon of the ancestral master, it was also left behind to contain the demonic palace. Once the demonic palace emerges into the world, the whole of Taiyi Holy Land will be in danger!¡± On hearing that, the expressions of the other supreme elders became serious. Some even looked a bit frightened. Because they had recalled the scary existence of a demonic palace in some part of Taiyi Holy Land. It was just that it had been contained by an ancient sage ancestor of Taiyi Holy Land. According to rumors, the demonic palace had come from the ten thousand ancient races. During the primordial era, ten thousand races had coexisted together. It was not like the present era, where the human race dominated. At that time, the ten thousand ancient races were immensely prosperous and powerful, far beyond imagination. There were countless Qiyao Realm kings and Bahuang Realm venerables, and all the powerful races had sages in the Jiutian Realm. Even supreme beings, known as primordial emperors, were born during that period and ruled the primordial era. In comparison, the human race back then could be described as weak and incompetent, having to depend completely on others to survive. But after that, a terrifying epic war took place among the heavenly emperors of the primordial era. Gods fell and countless expert cultivators perished. In the end, it led to the collapse of the world, which then entered the Dharma-Ending Age. The ten thousand ancient races had sealed themselves off, and avoided the Dharma-Ending Age. Sealed within the demonic palace was a great demon of the Jiutian Realm, no less powerful than the ancient sages. It was from one of the ten thousand ancient races that had sealed itself off at that time. Back then, when it was discovered by the sage ancestral master, the great demon was still sealed off. It had not yet come out into the world. The ancient sage knew that once the great demon emerged, the entire Southern Desolate Lands, even the whole Canglan Continent, would certainly fall under a rule of darkness and ruthless slaughter. According to the ancient sage¡¯s prediction, the great demon would unseal and emerge in the world in hundreds of thousands of years. As the sage had pity on the world, he took the demonic palace back to Taiyi Holy Land to try to contain it. The ancient sage believed that with the aid of Taiyi Holy Land, the great demon could continue to be suppressed and sealed before it emerged into the world. With the passage of time, they might even be able to completely destroy it. However, the ancient sage never would have expected Taiyi Holy Land to decline long before that. Moreover, the holy land had been through a terrible war, and many important books and records had been lost. Even the Holy Lords of recent generations did not know where the demonic palace was sealed in the holy land. It had been more than 100,000 years since the sealing of the demonic palace. By right, it should be emerging soon. Back then, the invincible great venerable had also been worried that Taiyi Holy Land would not be able to contain the ancient race great demon. Therefore, he left behind his invincible divine weapon. According to rumors, it was not an ordinary divine weapon. It was even likely to be a holy weapon. It also contained venerable divine power that the great venerable had poured in before passing away. At the critical moment, its power could be fully restored, equivalent to the great venerable himself using the divine weapon to strike an invincible blow. However, Demon Sealing Land had now been broken through, and the invincible divine weapon had disappeared. As such, the higher-ups of Taiyi Holy Land were quite worried. Once the great demon emerged in the world, the current Taiyi Holy Land might not be able to withstand it. It might be completely destroyed. The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, ¡°I might need to use the holy land¡¯s reserves at the critical moment. Even though Taiyi Holy Land has declined, we continue to hold the title of ¡°Holy Land¡± by relying on the reserves left by our ancestors. If the holy land faces a catastrophe, we will have no choice but to use the holy land¡¯s reserves to kill it!¡± However, Taiyi Holy Land should never use the reserves unless it was absolutely necessary. It could only be used in a matter of life and death. Taiyi Holy Land was no longer as powerful as it used to be, but its reserves served as a deterrent to various outside forces. Once it was used, Taiyi Holy Land would be in danger. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Since the venerable¡¯s divine weapon is lost, let¡¯s quickly find the location of the demonic palace. I trust there¡¯s still time before the great demon is unsealed and awakened! Let¡¯s hurry up and find it before that happens. By using the holy land¡¯s reserves, I believe we¡¯ll be able to contain it for some time,¡± the Taiyi Holy Lord sighed helplessly. Then, he led the group of elders out and left. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Moving Secret Technique!] The system¡¯s mechanical voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen¡¯s head. It was from the check-in at Demon Sealing Land. Because he had left in a hurry, the system notification only arrived then, giving Qin Chen a huge surprise. The Moving Secret Technique was said to be an emperor-grade movement technique created by a primordial time-space great emperor. It was known to be the fastest in the world. According to rumors, once it was fully cultivated, one would be able to control the flow of and travel through time. Qin Chen never expected to obtain the Moving Secret Technique there. After mastering the Moving Secret Technique, there was no doubt that his speed would be raised to the maximum, and he would be upgraded to the next level in a very short time. However, why would he receive the Moving Secret Technique at Demon Sealing Land? Qin Chen did not quite understand. However, it was certainly a great harvest that day. Not only did he break through Demon Sealing Land and obtain an invincible divine halberd, he had also successfully checked in and obtained the Moving Secret Technique. He had definitely earned a lot that day. ¡°System, please identify this weapon.¡± Qin Chen handed the halberd he had obtained to the system for identification. That was one of the functions of the system that he had recently discovered. It could be used to identify many treasures. After a while, the system said: [Desolate Divine Halberd, the weapon of the quasi-emperor Taihuang from the mythological era. It is a quasi-emperor grade weapon.] On hearing that, Qin Chen gasped. He did not expect it to be a quasi-emperor grade weapon. Quasi-emperors were second only to ancient great emperors. Furthermore, it was a quasi-emperor grade weapon from the mythological era. It had been one to two million years since that period, but the Desolate Divine Halberd still displayed a special characteristic of not having decayed. One could imagine that Taihuang was no ordinary quasi-emperor. In addition, Qin Chen suspected that Taihuang was very likely related to a time-space great emperor. Otherwise, how could he have obtained the Moving Secret Technique there? After obtaining the Desolate Divine Halberd and Moving Secret Technique, Qin Chen continued to casually check in to various places in Taiyi Holy Land. During that time, he occasionally sneaked into Demon Sealing Land to check in. From there, he had obtained the legendary supernormal knowledge Eight Desolation Strikes, which was also a halberd technique created by Taihuang, a quasi-emperor grade supernormal knowledge. Of course, his knowledge and proficiencies were broad and wide. Qin Chen was still only at the Wuxing Realm. After spending a few months to cultivate some techniques, his power greatly increased. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A year passed by quickly. On this day, Qin Chen left the Taiyi Holy Land silently. After obtaining the quasi-emperor grade weapon ¡°Taihuang¡± from the Demon Sealing Land, Qin Chen had truly reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm after a year of hard cultivation. He had finished accumulating his foundation in all aspects and was about to break through to the Liuhe Realm. Only by reaching the Liuhe Realm could one be considered a powerful expert in this world. Of course, breaking through to the Liuhe Realm would inevitably attract a world-shaking tribulation. Over the years, he had to stay far away from the Taiyi Holy Land every time he transcended his tribulation. Having already done it more than ten times, he was already used to it. It couldn¡¯t be helped. He had the Chaotic Holy Body, which was unparalleled in the world. As such, every time he crossed a small realm, he would attract the heavenly tribulation. Going through the tribulation in the Taiyi Holy Land would alert everyone, which was completely out of line with his cautious character. After Qin Chen left the Taiyi Holy Land, he used a moving secret technique, seemingly turning himself into a stream of light that moved at lightning speed, arriving at the endless wilderness millions of miles away. In the vast and boundless Southern Desolate Lands, there were countless wildernesses like this. Only somewhere so desolate was the most suitable for him to go through his tribulation. After entering the wilderness, Qin Chen was passing by and just about to go further in when he suddenly encountered a group of young geniuses flying in the air. They were flying towards the depths of the wilderness as well. These young geniuses were all quite extraordinary. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. All of them had an air of nobility. They were basically all experts in the Sixiang Realm or even Wuxing Realm. How could he not find it strange to meet a group of young geniuses with such powerful cultivation in the wilderness? Qin Chen looked at the robes they were wearing and immediately realized that they were all from the same faction. They were all royalty from the Great Qin Dynasty, traveling in groups through the wilderness together. For a moment, he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned, and his expression was a little strange. He did not expect to encounter people from the Great Qin Dynasty here. After all, he was from the Great Qin Dynasty and was once the 17th Prince. Though, he had been abdicated of his prince status and was sent to the Southern Desolate Lands. Although he encountered the royalty of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Chen did not appear. He did not even make a move. This was because the reason behind his abdication from the royal family back then involved the interests of the major factions within the royal family. It had nothing to do with these young royalties. Furthermore, he now had the check-in system and did not have much hatred for the Great Qin Dynasty. After all, if the Great Qin Dynasty had not banished him to the Southern Desolate Lands, making him become an unimportant disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land, he might not have been able to awaken the system, let alone be rid of the shackles of the mortal body and have the Chaotic Holy Body. All of this might be fate! One by one, the royal members rode on rainbows and soared into the sky. Qin Chen¡¯s aura was undetectable as he sneaked around on the ground. These people could not sense him at all. With his powerful hearing, he heard the disciples discussing, ¡°This time, a seventy-thousand-year-old quasi-divine grade herb appeared in the Thousand Mountains. I heard that it can extend one¡¯s life by two to three hundred years.¡± ¡°If those old fogeys who don¡¯t have much time left find out about this quasi-divine grade herb, they¡¯ll definitely fight over it with bloodshot eyes!¡± ¡°Yes, but this time, only we know about it. It was discovered by an unaffiliated cultivator when he was hunting demonic beasts. Now that we¡¯ve killed the guy, no one else knows about it.¡± ¡°With such a quasi-divine grade herb that is tens of thousands of years old, when we reach the end of our lifespans in the future, we can also take it and increase our lifespans by more than 200 years. We may even break through to the next realm and become the strongest in the world!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about such useless things. How can such a quasi-divine grade herb fall into our hands? Even if you get it, you¡¯ll only attract endless killing. Only someone favored by the Heavens like the 9th Prince is qualified to have it!¡± ¡°The 9th Prince¡¯s talent has been valued since he was young. He was taken in as a disciple by a Qiayao Realm expert, and he himself is at level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Only he will be able to keep the herb and still be safe.¡± ¡°The 9th Prince has said that as long as we contribute to the battle against the demonic beast that is guarding the quasi-divine grade herb, he will reward us handsomely!¡± ¡°Among us, only the 9th Prince has the highest chance of winning. After all, he¡¯s on level nine of the Wuxing Realm, and he¡¯s no weaker than some Supreme Elders. Compared to him, we don¡¯t have much hope. ¡± ¡°Although there¡¯s not much hope, as long as we help the 9th Prince obtain the quasi-divine grade herb, we¡¯ll be rewarded handsomely. At the very least, we¡¯ll get several thousand kilograms of pure origin seeds!¡± ¡°This time, the 9th Prince is seizing the quasi-divine grade herb to prepare for the heavenly tribulation when breaking through to the Liuhe Realm!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. The 9th Prince has only cultivated for 30 years, but he¡¯s already reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm. Now, he¡¯s even fighting for the quasi-divine grade herb in preparation to break through to the Liuhe Realm. Once he succeeds, he¡¯ll truly be on par with the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land. He¡¯ll have more hope of becoming the Crown Prince and will definitely be the next Emperor!¡± ¡­ The royal descendants soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the distance. Below, Qin Chen revealed a look of surprise. A seventy to eighty thousand years old quasi-divine grade herb? He wasn¡¯t very tempted, though. After all, he had obtained quite a few divine-grade herbs over the years with his check-in system, so they were dispensable to him. However, Qin Chen¡¯s expression softened when he heard of the 9th Prince. In the Great Qin Dynasty, not only the descendants of the current Emperor could be addressed as princes and princesses, even the descendants of the other major factions had the right to be addressed as princes and princesses. As such, there were more than seventy princes and princesses. Qin Chen was the 17th Prince, which meant that he was the 17th royal descendant to be born in the Great Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, he only had a mortal body and no talent for cultivation, so even though his mother¡¯s family was quite strong, the other princes and princesses never paid attention to him, who had a mortal body. Only the 9th Prince was willing to be with him. The 9th Prince had displayed extraordinary talent since he was young, and he could be said to be far above his peers. However, unlike the other princes and princesses who looked down on Qin Chen, the 9th Prince had never looked down on him. On the contrary, he had played with him when they were young. These memories were obtained when Qin Chen had transmigrated and inherited this body. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be my 9th brother who¡¯s coming to snatch the quasi-divine grade herb to break through to the Liuhe Realm with it,¡± Qin Chen thought to himself. In the Great Qin Dynasty, the 9th Prince was different from him. The former had displayed extraordinary talent since he was born, and the emperor bloodline in his body was quite strong. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t go to meet the 9th Prince. On the contrary, the appearance of these royal descendants had made him more cautious. He didn¡¯t want his tribulation to attract too much attention. Therefore, he changed his direction and went straight into the depth of three hundred thousand miles of the wilderness. With this, he could be considered to have entered the deepest part of the wilderness. Through his observation, he found that there were no overly powerful demonic beasts or human experts within a hundred thousand miles. Thus, he stopped and began to set up a formation, making sufficient preparations. After spending a day and a night to complete all the preparations, Qin Chen sat down cross-legged and began to adjust his body¡¯s condition to break through to the Liuhe Realm. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio While Qin Chen was adjusting his state, he suddenly sensed that a heavenly tribulation had appeared more than two hundred thousand miles away. He looked over. Although he couldn¡¯t see clearly due to the distance, he knew that the 9th Prince had most likely succeeded in snatching the quasi-divine grade herb and was beginning to overcome his tribulation to break through to the Liuhe Realm. Qin Chen was not surprised by this. He had long known that the 9th Prince was an unparalleled genius of the Great Qin Dynasty. Just like Ling Ran, he had the legendary King Body and had also cultivated with the higher-ups of the Holy Land since young. After 30 years of cultivation, he had finally reached the peak of the Wuxing Realm. His cultivation speed could be said to already be very fast. After the ancient era, the Laws of Heaven and Earth changed greatly. After the passing of Emperor Qing, let alone ancient Great Emperors, even ancient Sages and Path-seeking Venerables of the Bahuang Realm were rare. Generally speaking, the Masters of the various Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and dynasties had all spent at least three to four hundred years in their youth before they could reach the Liuhe Realm. As one with the King Body, the 9th Prince had an extraordinary constitution. Furthermore, the Laws of Heaven and Earth had started to change, which was why he was able to break through to the Liuhe Realm in just 30 years. There was a rather shocking heavenly tribulation descending over there. Even from more than 200000 miles away, one could vaguely feel the fluctuations. Qin Chen believed that the 9th Prince would be able to survive the heavenly tribulations of the Liuhe Realm. Qin Chen quickly focused his attention and began to tackle the tribulations of his Liuhe Realm. During this time, he took out a quasi-divine grade herb that was 90000 years old. He had found it by chance when he was in the depths of the wilderness, something very lucky to have happened. He wondered if the 9th Prince would vomit blood if he found out that he himself had to fight a great demonic beast to get the quasi-divine grade herb. After taking the quasi-divine grade herb, it turned into boundless spiritual energy and circulated in Qin Chen¡¯s body. His aura rose steadily and reached its peak. Boom! In an instant, countless dark clouds covered the sky, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Huge thunderbolts descended from the sky, bringing with them an aura that could destroy the world as they struck down like crazy. These were the heavenly tribulations of Qin Chen¡¯s Liuhe Realm. Thousands of thunderbolts fell, each enough to kill a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Wuxing Realm. Qin Chen took the initiative to rush into the sky. He resisted the terrifying heavenly tribulations with his powerful Chaotic Holy Body, waving his fist and smashing the huge lightning bolts, turning them into essence energy that filled the sky before devouring them. Of course, this was only the early stage of the heavenly tribulation. Having the Chaotic Holy Body, one of the most terrifying physiques in history, the heavenly tribulation that would descend when he was breaking through to the next huge realm was bound to be extremely terrifying. The more advanced he went in his cultivations, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be. Not long after, the 81 bolts of lightning disappeared and were replaced by a millstone that was even larger than a mountain. It slowly rotated and exuded a world-destroying aura. If cultivators who were more knowledgeable were present, they would¡¯ve exclaimed in surprise. This was the Heavenly Dao millstone, a legendary heavenly tribulation that was enough to kill an ordinary Liuhe Realm Grandmaster. Qin Chen let out a loud roar and soared into the sky. He waved his fist and used the Baoshan Seal to meet the attack, shattering the Heavenly Dao millstone. However, blood also seeped out from the corner of his mouth. After all, this was no ordinary tribulation. The heavenly tribulation was endless. As time passed, all kinds of terrifying legendary heavenly tribulations kept bombarding him, turning Qin Chen¡¯s entire body charred black. His body, which had been tempered over the years, was split open with countless wounds, and from time to time, drops of blood that shone with traces of bright gold sprinkled down. It couldn¡¯t be helped. These were all terrifying heavenly tribulations that only existed in legends. Furthermore, Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, which was naturally extraordinary. As such, the heavenly tribulations that targeted the physique were also extremely terrifying. Hence, once they descended, they would be extremely terrifying. At the same time, more than 200000 miles away, the mountains within a thousand miles radius had been turned into scorched earth. Thunderbolts as thick as mountains kept falling. A figure was charging forward, clashing with these powerful thunderbolts. It was the 9th Prince¡¯s Liuhe Realm tribulation! The group of Great Qin Dynasty disciples who were standing guard in the distance revealed expressions of shock. ¡°As expected of the Prince. To think the tribulation that he¡¯s going through is the legendary Absolute Beginning Tribulations, which is a total of 49 heavenly thunderbolts that carry the aura of the Absolute Beginning. Each one is enough to kill a cultivator in the early stage of the Wuxing Realm, but he¡¯s resisted it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just the Absolute Beginning Tribulations. There¡¯s also the Sky-crushing Thunder. It¡¯s said that it can even destroy the Heavenly Dao. It¡¯s a terrifying heavenly tribulation that only peerless figures can trigger. As such, it has now appeared and is being withstood by the Prince.¡± ¡°Fortunately, the Prince has the quasi-divine grade herb.¡± ¡°His Royal Highness is indeed a legendary genius. To think it took him six hours to complete his tribulation. If it were us, we would only need two hours at most. Furthermore, the legendary heavenly tribulations couldn¡¯t possibly appear for us. Otherwise, we¡¯d be dead for sure!¡± In the end, under the protection of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s disciples, the 9th Prince¡¯s body was surrounded by wisps of chaos energy as he successfully broke through and became a powerful cultivator in the Liuhe Realm. At this moment, the 9th Prince had consumed a precious pill and completed the jump of a big realm. His injuries were all healed, and his body was glowing. He looked like a top-tier expert. Many of the Great Qin Dynasty disciples had looks of respect on their faces as they came forward to congratulate the 9th Prince on his success. From now on, he was a Liuhe Realm Grandmaster and was even closer to the position of the Holy Lord. Just as the 9th Prince was about to celebrate, his expression suddenly changed as he sensed an extremely terrifying heavenly tribulation in the distance. Even though he was more than two hundred thousand miles away, he could still clearly feel how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was. It was a whole patch of world-destroying thunders that blotted out the sky. How was this a heavenly tribulation? It was more like a sea of tribulation lightning that drowned the distant heaven and earth. The terrifying commotion it caused could be clearly felt. The 9th Prince¡¯s expression changed. Although his Liuhe Realm tribulation was also very terrifying, it wasn¡¯t on the same level as the heavenly tribulation of the other party. If he had been the one to face the heavenly tribulation, he would have died. ¡°What a terrifying heavenly tribulation! It¡¯s even more terrifying than the heavenly tribulation of His Royal Highness!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s the tribulation of the Qiyao Realm!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, only a King¡¯s tribulation can be so terrifying!¡± The many disciples of the Holy Land all thought that it must be a King¡¯s tribulation. Otherwise, how could it be so much more terrifying than the 9th Prince¡¯s Liuhe Realm tribulation? The 9th Prince also believed that it would be at least a Qiyao Realm tribulation. It might even be a Bahuang Realm Path-seeking tribulation, as it was countless times stronger than his Liuhe Realm tribulation. Even though they were more than 200000 miles away, they could still feel the heavenly tribulation. It was as if it was going to destroy the entire world. It wasn¡¯t like he had never seen a Qiyao Realm King¡¯s tribulation before, but compared to now, there was still a huge gap. The 9th Prince muttered in his heart, there¡¯s probably a peerless expert going through the Path-seeking tribulation of the Bahuang Realm now. If the other party could survive the tribulation, he or she would be Venerable of the world. All the Holy Lands, families, and dynasties will have to treat him with respect. If he could get to know this Venerable, it would be of great benefit to him. Therefore, the 9th Prince had already decided to get to know this senior after the other party finished his or her tribulation! Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen¡¯s Liuhe Realm tribulation lasted for an entire night before the thunderbolts slowly dissipated. Even though he had the help of countless treasures, divine pills, and boundless Divine Spirit Source, he was still covered in blood after the heavenly tribulation. However, after the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Qin Chen¡¯s aura increased by several times, approaching the King level of the Qiyao Realm. He luxuriously consumed a quasi-divine grade herb, which turned into a vast amount of spiritual energy that quickly healed his injuries. In just a few breaths, he had completely recovered and returned to his peak. He was handsome, with defined eyebrows and bright eyes. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, making him seem like a great emperor descending to the mortal world, extremely eye-catching. ¡°So this is the Liuhe Realm? I feel much stronger than before the tribulation,¡± Qin Chen could feel the strength in his body. He had broken through from the Wuxing Realm and entered the Liuhe Realm. His primordial spirit was clear and his eyes were bright like stars. His aura stood out. Even the Holy Lords from the various Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and empires couldn¡¯t be compared to him in terms of temperament. After entering the Liuhe Realm, Qin Chen was confident that he could even fight against a Qiyao Realm King. ¡°Oh?¡± Suddenly, he sensed many auras appearing and arriving before him. He had been undergoing his tribulation not long ago, so he was so focused on it that he didn¡¯t sense it. Of course, the most important thing was that the auras of the newcomers were not very strong. Otherwise, he would have sensed them a long time ago. It was the people from the Great Qin Dynasty! Qin Chen immediately changed his appearance. This was because he did not want others to know the secret of his being able to cultivate and reach the Liuhe Realm. To be honest, even if Qin Chen stood there in his original appearance, the 9th Prince probably wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize him either. After all, when he was expelled from the royal family, he had only been 15 years old. He was young and immature and hadn¡¯t fully grown up yet. Now that more than ten years had passed, he had completely grown and his body had even transformed into the Chaotic Holy Body, allowing him to integrate with Heaven and Earth, giving him a natural disposition. Even if he had the royal blood of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was no longer obvious. The 9th Prince led the Great Qin Dynasty disciples over. When they saw Qin Chen, they found that he was a handsome young man in his early twenties. Under his tattered clothes, one could vaguely see his strong and muscular body. One could also vaguely sense the terrifying blood energy on him that was as vast as an abyss. Even the Kings and Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty paled in comparison to this level of blood energy. This made the 9th Prince and the others even more certain that this was a supreme Venerable. It was only because his cultivation realm was profound that he looked young. After all, even if the many Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords had lived for one or two thousand years, they still looked like they were in their early twenties or thirties. For some unknown reason though, the 9th prince felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu when he looked at the Venerable. However, when he thought about it carefully, he had no memory of ever meeting someone like this at all. The 9th Prince led the group of Holy Land disciples and bowed to Qin Chen respectfully, ¡°Greetings, senior!¡± Senior? Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince with a strange expression, muttering in his heart, ¡°Please, 9th brother, I¡¯m your 17th brother. I¡¯m younger than you in both age and cultivation, okay?¡± However, he who was better in cultivation would be the senior. Even though he started cultivating more than ten years later than the 9th Prince, he was still stronger than the latter. At the very least, Qin Chen would have no problem suppressing the 9th Prince while also being in the first level of the Liuhe Realm. However, he did not know how to respond to his 9th brother. ¡°Roar!¡± Suddenly, a roar reverberated through a radius of 1000 miles. A giant ape that was over 30 meters tall appeared. Its entire body was covered in purple fur, and streaks of lightning flickered around its body. It exuded a shocking aura, causing the Great Qin Dynasty disciples to be shocked. ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s a purple lightning ape!¡± ¡°The purple lightning ape is from the ancient ape race, and it seems to have a bloodline connection with the combat saint ape race of the ten thousand ancient races!¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that a Supreme Elder of one of the Holy Lands entered the wilderness to find a divine medicine and found a quasi-divine grade herb. However, the quasi-divine grade herb was guarded by a peerless great demonic beast, a purple lightning giant ape. It almost killed the Supreme Elder. I¡¯m afraid this is the purple lightning giant ape in the stories!¡± ¡°It¡¯s rumored that the purple lightning giant ape is very strong. A Holy Lord once tried to subdue it, but it still escaped. It can¡¯t be the same one, right?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s really this purple lightning giant ape, its cultivation is at least at the Liuhe Realm. It could even be at the Qiyao Realm!¡± Even the 9th Prince, who had reached the Liuhe Realm, was wary of the purple lightning giant ape. This was because he had heard of the appearance of a purple lightning giant ape in this wilderness. This was a terrifying great demonic beast that even almost killed a Grandmaster. Its appearance now gave him a terrifying sense of oppression. The one in the rumors was definitely the one in front of them now. However, why did this purple lightning giant ape come? The purple lightning giant ape¡¯s dark golden eyes, which were as large as water tanks, swept across everyone present. The disciples did not dare to look at its terrifying eyes directly. Finally, it landed on Qin Chen. It could feel a familiar aura from him. It then revealed a terrifying killing intent and roared, ¡°Human cultivator, how dare you steal my quasi-divine grade herb!¡± Hearing this, everyone from the Great Qin Dynasty was shocked and looked at Qin Chen. It turned out that the purple lightning giant ape had come because this senior had stolen its quasi-divine grade herb. Qin Chen furrowed his brows. He recalled that the quasi-divine grade herb he had consumed before the tribulation. So it was from the purple lightning giant ape. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°So it¡¯s yours. I saw that there were no creatures guarding the quasi-divine grade herb, so I took it!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the quasi-divine grade herb?¡± The purple lightning giant ape said angrily. ¡°I ate it,¡± Qin Chen replied calmly. Hearing this, the purple lightning giant ape exploded with anger and roared, ¡°Human, you deserve to die. This is the quasi-divine grade herb that I have guarded for a thousand years. How dare you consume it? I will refine your flesh, blood, and primordial spirit into materials!¡± Its roar shook the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles. Many of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s disciples turned pale and blood flowed out of their eyes, noses, and mouths as their souls were damaged. Only the 9th Prince was barely able to withstand it, but he also looked at the giant purple lightning ape with a grave expression. As the purple lightning giant ape roared, it jumped and rushed towards Qin Chen. Its huge palm slapped towards the latter, the force so huge it caused the void to collapse. It was extremely terrifying. If the palm were to land on a mountain, the people of the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the mountain would be destroyed in an instant. Even the 9th Prince¡¯s expression changed. He couldn¡¯t block this palm. However, Qin Chen did not dodge. He simply raised his palm to meet the attack. Boom! Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the extremely terrifying ape palm attack was blocked, unable to land on Qin Chen¡¯s body. The purple lightning giant ape was taken aback. It was no ordinary Liuhe Realm Grandmaster. With the blessing of its ancient bloodline, its strength far exceeded that of human cultivators of the same realm. It could even challenge a Qiyao Realm King, so how could it be defeated? ¡°You¡¯re too weak!¡± Qin Chen said. With a flash, he appeared in front of the purple lightning giant ape in an instant. He looked very small, but with a single slap, the world shook. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the purple lightning giant ape was sent flying by a single palm. It crashed through many mountains and fell to the ground in the distance, where the ground rumbled. Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At the same time, Qin Chen appeared in front of the purple lightning giant ape as if he had teleported. He grabbed its finger and easily sent it flying. The poor purple lightning giant ape was one of the top Grandmasters in the Liuhe Realm with a body that was even stronger than many Kings, yet, it was just crushed by Qin Chen. The crowd from the Great Qin Dynasty was shocked. They were even more convinced that this was a senior with unfathomable cultivation. Even if the senior hadn¡¯t unleashed any of his spiritual energy, he had such a strong body that he could easily suppress the purple lightning giant ape, a member of the ancient ape clan that was known for its physical strength. Other than the Venerables in the Bahuang Realm, no King could do it. Perhaps this senior did not even bother to use any of his spiritual energy to deal with the purple lightning giant ape. After a round of being beaten, the purple lightning giant ape was just dizzy from being sent flying twice. It no longer had any thoughts of revenge against Qin Chen and surrendered. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Qin Chen was too abnormal. Although he had just stepped into the Liuhe Realm, his Chaotic Holy Body allowed him to even challenge a Qiyao Realm King. His physical body far surpassed that of a King. Ever since Qin Chen started cultivating, he had never killed a living creature. Besides, he was the one who had taken away the quasi-divine grade herb that the purple lightning giant ape was guarding. Thus, it was not appropriate for him to kill it either. ¡°I originally thought that the quasi-divine grade herb had no owner, so I picked it. Now that I know it¡¯s yours, it¡¯s only normal for you to be angry. I have a piece of Divine Spirit Source here, take it as your compensation,¡± Qin Chen took out a head-sized Divine Spirit Source that was filled with spiritual energy, stunning everyone. Divine Spirit Sources were rare even in the Holy Lands, and their value was no less than the quasi-divine grade herbs. Although it could not extend one¡¯s life, it still had great value. Such a piece of Divine Spirit Source was comparable to two hundred thousand kilograms of spirit stones. The purple lightning giant ape looked at the Divine Spirit Source and was pleasantly surprised. It had thought that not only was the quasi-divine grade herb gone, but it couldn¡¯t defeat this human cultivator with a monstrously strong body either, so it could only swallow its anger. It didn¡¯t expect that the other party would give it a piece of the Divine Spirit Source. Therefore, it quickly said gratefully, ¡°Many thanks, senior!¡± The corners of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth twitched. Never mind the royal descendants of the Great Qin Dynasty, but now, a great demonic beast who had lived for more than a thousand years was calling him senior too¡­ After the purple lightning giant ape obtained the Divine Spirit Source, it quickly left. At this moment, the 9th Prince and the others said, ¡°Senior¡­¡± Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince and raised his eyebrows, ¡°Is there something?¡± Of course, if the 9th Prince did need help, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t mind helping him out. After all, he had a good impression of the 9th Prince. The 9th Prince quickly said, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to have any problems. It¡¯s just that I saw you going through your tribulation, so I couldn¡¯t help but come. I¡¯m just here to pay a visit, I hope you won¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently and turned to leave. ¡°Senior, may I ask for your name?¡± The 9th Prince cupped his fists before the other party could leave. Qin Chen¡¯s figure paused for a moment, and he only lightly flicked his sleeves as he said, ¡°I¡¯m just a nobody. If you go any deeper into the wilderness, danger will be lying ahead for Kings. You¡¯d better leave this place quickly. ¡± Whoosh! As soon as he finished speaking, to prevent the moving secret technique from being exposed, he used the Heaven-treading Steps of the Taiyi Holy Land. With one step, his figure turned into a long rainbow of lights as he soared into the sky, disappearing before the rest like a bolt of lightning. ¡°Nameless? This senior is truly noble. With such a cultivation base and such a heavenly tribulation, how could he be a nobody?¡± The 9th Prince exclaimed. He felt increasingly sure that Qin Chen was an unfathomable expert that didn¡¯t want fame or fortune. Or, the other party probably didn¡¯t think there was a need for them to interact with each other, so he didn¡¯t tell him his name. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t know who the senior is. Otherwise, I would definitely pay him a visit,¡± The 9th Prince was disappointed. One of the Holy Land disciples couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Your Highness, the movement technique that the senior used just now seems to be the Heaven-treading Steps of the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± Heaven-treading Steps? The Taiyi Holy Land? Hearing this, the Prince and the other disciples were shocked, ¡°It¡¯s said that the Taiyi Holy Land has declined, but from what we¡¯ve seen today, it¡¯s clear that there¡¯s a legendary Venerable of the Bahuang Realm there. With such a Venerable, how could the Taiyi Holy Land decline? It seems that the Holy Land of Taiyi is only keeping a low profile and has many unknown experts. I have heard that the Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land is amazing. She has the legendary Zixia Body, the same Supreme King Body as the Supreme Zixia Empress of the ancient times. Now, there¡¯s another supreme Venerable of the Bahuang Realm there. The Taiyi Holy Land is not simple!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the 17th Prince, Qin Chen, get banished to the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± A royal disciple suddenly asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. Qin Chen was indeed sent to the Southern Desolate Lands. He should be in the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°So, 17th brother was sent to the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± The 9th Prince was shocked, but he soon looked guilty, ¡°I¡¯ve been so busy cultivating that I¡¯ve neglected my 17th brother. I didn¡¯t even go to see him for the last time when he was exiled, and I haven¡¯t even seen him for the past ten years. I¡¯m really ashamed. It looks like I¡¯ll have to find an opportunity to pay a visit to the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± The 9th Prince decided that he would visit the Taiyi Holy Land when he had the chance. Whether it was for that Venerable senior or his 17th brother. Qin Chen, who had returned to the Taiyi Holy Land, did not know that because of him, the people of the Great Qin Dynasty all determined that the Taiyi Holy Land was about to be revived. They had even decided to find a suitable time to pay a visit. After entering the Liuhe Realm, Qin Chen¡¯s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing his past self. Currently, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land was his match, including the Taiyi Holy Lord. This was because Taiyi Holy Lord was only at level eight of the Liuhe Realm. He was not a Qiyao Realm King yet. With Qin Chen¡¯s abilities, he was already able to fight against a Qiyao Realm King. Although Qin Chen already had a powerful cultivation that could dominate the Taiyi Holy Land, he still kept a low profile and continued to sweep the floors of the Taiyi Holy Land. Of course, he usually did it within a hundred miles of his residence. As for other places, he would not go there to prevent exposing himself to others. After all, in the eyes of the people of the Taiyi Holy Land, he was just an abandoned Prince with the cultivation of a Warrior who couldn¡¯t even activate his divine sea. It was still acceptable if he swept around within a hundred miles, but if it was beyond that, it would arouse suspicion. On this day, Qin Chen came to Zixia Palace to sweep the floors under the orders of the miscellaneous affairs elder. Zixia Palace was a newly built palace in the Taiyi Holy Land, built especially for the Holy Daughter Ling Ran. This was because Ling Ran had made it to the fourth stage in the Demon Sealing Land, so the higher-ups of the Holy Land believed that she had a high chance of reaching the Qiyao Realm and leading the Taiyi Holy Land back to its peak. Therefore, many people had high hopes for Ling Ran. As such, they had built a new palace for the Holy Daughter Ling Ran. It was named Zixia Palace because of the Zixia Body she had. Even the current Holy Son, Zhao Yi, did not receive such treatment. When Qin Chen arrived at Zixia Palace, it was filled with female disciples. They glanced at him coldly and let him in indifferently. They also warned him not to go anywhere he was not allowed to. Qin Chen naturally agreed. Just as he arrived at Zixia Palace, the system¡¯s notification sounded in his mind. [This place has divinity. Would you like to check in here?] Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen was slightly stunned. The Zixia Palace had just been built not long ago, but it already contained divinity? He confirmed to check-in in his heart. It was just a single check-in opportunity anyway. [Dingdong, congratulations, you have obtained the reward from checking in: Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra!] The system¡¯s notification surprised Qin Chen. The Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra? His consciousness sank into the system space, and he found an ancient book that had appeared in it. On the cover, there were three big words: ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡±! He then looked at the system¡¯s introduction. [Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra: A peerless ancient Sutra created for the Zixia Body. It¡¯s an internal ancient Sutra created by the Supreme Zixia Empress. If one cultivates this Sutra, they will be able to fully develop the Zixia Body and reach the peak, obtaining the hope of becoming an Emperor that has proven their path.] Qin Chen was shocked. To think the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡± was so heaven-defying. The Zixia Empress was a Supreme of her generation. She also had the Zixia Body and had cultivated it to the extreme. Although she had not become an Emperor who had proven her path, she was no inferior. He didn¡¯t expect that he would get the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡± by checking in here. However, the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra was not of much use to him, so he just threw it into the system space and ignored it. As the sun set, Qin Chen carefully cleaned up the few halls of the palace and was about to leave when he ran into Ling Ran. She was like a fairy who had descended from the heavens. Every step she took was graceful and her body was surrounded by wisps of purple mist. She looked extremely holy. After a few months since their last meeting, she had become stronger and was already on level four of the Wuxing Realm. Qin Chen had to admit that Ling Ran was indeed a prodigy of her generation. She was extremely talented in the path of cultivation. Although she was somewhat lacking compared to the 9th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty as she had yet to step into the Liuhe Realm, one should not forget that the Taiyi Holy Land was a Holy Land that had long declined. It could not be compared with the Great Qin Dynasty, which had been in its heyday for countless years. Moreover, the Great Qin Dynasty was a divine dynasty that had the inheritance of an ancient Emperor. It was one of the best among all the immortal inheritances. The 9th Prince was also one of the potential candidates to compete for the position of the next Imperial Lord. As such, his cultivation conditions were naturally far superior to Ling Ran¡¯s. Of course, as Ling Ran had the Zixia Dao body, she was born to be in harmony with Heaven and Earth. As her realm continued to rise, her harmony with Heaven and Earth would also continue to increase. Once she grew, her achievements would not be much inferior to the 9th Prince¡¯s. This was also one of the reasons why the Taiyi Holy Land had high hopes for Ling Ran. Qin Chen stood quietly at the side and made way for Ling Ran to walk past him first. However, Ling Ran stopped in front of him. She glanced at Qin Chen and with a flip of her palm, a spirit stone the size of a baby¡¯s fist appeared in her hand. It was flowing with dense spiritual energy. Ling Ran sighed softly, ¡°Go back and refine this spirit stone. Then, you can activate your divine sea and become a true cultivator. You¡¯re still young, not even thirty years old yet. You shouldn¡¯t be sweeping the floors here. You should be like us, going against fate and traveling the vast world. Perhaps when the time comes, you can also change your fate!¡± Without waiting for Qin Chen to speak, Ling Ran had already stuffed the spirit stone into his hand. Her smooth hand felt warm and soft. When Qin Chen came to his senses, Ling Ran had already walked far away. He lowered his head and saw that the aura of the spirit stone in his hand had been sealed. Otherwise, if he, a servant, had such a spirit stone, he would be envied by many and they would probably harm him to get the stone. After all, one should not show off one¡¯s wealth, not to mention that spirit stones were extremely rare items, far more valuable than gold and silver. Qin Chen sighed softly. The spirit stone was nothing much but it¡¯s the thought that counts. He did not expect that Ling Ran, who was the high and mighty Holy Daughter, would know him, although she didn¡¯t know that he was just a janitor. He did not expect her to be so kind. He knew that the ¡°fate¡± that Ling Ran was talking about was his mortal body and his identity as an abandoned Prince. Ling Ran hoped that he could break out of the cage, soar into the sky, and return to the Great Qin Dynasty. With his current cultivation, such a spirit stone was dispensable. However, he vowed to repay the kindness tenfold in the future. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Qin Chen was still a lowly janitor in the Holy Land. He had not changed much. He was already used to this peaceful life that had lasted for twenty years. Of course, his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, becoming increasingly profound by the day. Today was the day that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran would go through her Liuhe Realm heavenly tribulation. After ten years, she had reached the peak of level nine in the Wuxing Realm. The Taiyi Holy Land attached great importance to Ling Ran as she was the first genius to reach the Liuhe Realm before she was one hundred years old after the Holy Land¡¯s decline. They had prepared many things, including hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Divine Spirit Source and precious medicines that were more than one hundred years old, all for Ling Ran. The Holy Lords, Supreme Elders, and many other higher-ups of the Holy Land had come to personally observe the tribulation and stand guard. It wasn¡¯t easy for the Taiyi Holy Land to have a peerless genius, and they couldn¡¯t let anything happen to her. The Saint, Zhao Yi, had also come. However, right now, he was completely overshadowed by Ling Ran, and the Holy Land¡¯s expectations of him were not as high as before. Zhao Yi looked at Ling Ran, who was preparing to cross her tribulation. He clenched his fists, and there was a hint of jealousy and unwillingness on his face. That day, Ling Ran broke through to the Liuhe Realm and her heavenly tribulation descended. It was terrifying, a legendary heavenly tribulation. It was even stronger than the one the Holy Son Wan Chu had faced back then. After half a day, Ling Ran finally finished her tribulation and successfully advanced to the Liuhe Realm. Her powerful aura made everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land extremely excited. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the senior Supreme Elders were even more excited. The fact that Ling Ran had entered the Liuhe Realm meant that there was hope for the Taiyi Holy Land to revive. In fact, the Taiyi Holy Lord was even prepared to hand over the position of Holy Lord to Ling Ran when she stepped into the Qiyao Realm. Suddenly, Ling Ran¡¯s figure fell from the sky. Taiyi Holy Lord immediately went to catch her and found that her face was pale and her aura was weak. After a careful examination, his expression changed. Then, the higher-ups of the Holy Land immediately brought Ling Ran into the depths of the Holy Land. Not long after, news spread that Ling Ran¡¯s foundation was unstable, and she had suffered a fatal internal injury when she transcended the heavenly Tribulation. Although she had come to, if her internal injury could not be cured, she would be stuck in the Liuhe Realm for the rest of her life. Moreover, her internal injury would continue to worsen as time passed. Once it could not be suppressed and completely erupted, Ling Ran would die. When the news spread, the entire Taiyi Holy Land was in a state of sorrow. Although Ling Ran was the Holy Daughter, she had always been friendly and treated people very well. Many disciples had received her kindness. Now that Ling Ran had encountered such a disaster, many elders and disciples sighed at her bad fate. According to the latest news, only a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm who cultivated the Path of Life or a divine medicine that was more than 100000 years old could cure the internal injury. However, even the many ancient Holy Lands, families, and dynasties lacked Bahuang Realm Venerables. At the very least, they did not have one that anyone knew of. Even if they did, they would not make a move easily or were in a sealed state. They would not act for a junior who had just entered the Liuhe Realm. As for the divine medicine that was more than 100000 years old, it was even rarer. After all, it was something that could extend a person¡¯s life by hundreds of years. It was enough to make those living old fossils who were about to reach their ends go crazy. The Taiyi Holy Land had already declined, so how could they have such a divine medicine? Although the other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties had them, they would not waste them on Ling Ran. Therefore, it was not hard to imagine Ling Ran¡¯s fate. She was probably fated for death. Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor in a palace far away, was slightly stunned when he heard the news. He sighed. That night, he went to Zixia Palace. After Ling Ran woke up, she returned to Zixia Palace to recuperate. The entire Zixia Palace was filled with sorrow. Qin Chen entered the Zixia Palace without a sound. His current cultivation was much higher than ten years ago. Even the Taiyi Holy Lord wouldn¡¯t be able to notice him. He came to Ling Ran¡¯s bedroom, only to find her cultivating while sitting cross-legged. Purple clouds were exuberant around her body that were attracting the patterns of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. It was obvious that she was trying to resolve her internal injury. But a moment later, the purple light around her exploded, and she suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, a stark comparison to her pale face. In the end, she still couldn¡¯t resolve her internal injury. Ling Ran¡¯s expression was gloomy. In the end, this was as far as she could go in this life, and she had failed to live up to others¡¯ expectations. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up with a start, ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Ling Ran let out a soft shout. She was keenly aware that someone had appeared. When she woke up, she saw a figure disappear from the window. She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar. Just as she was about to call for help, she noticed a shimmering medicinal herb on the table, emitting a special medicinal fragrance. She only sniffed it lightly, and she felt that the internal injuries in her body seemed to have healed a bit. She looked at the medicinal herb in shock. It was clearly a divine herb. How precious was divine medicine? So precious that not even the entire Taiyi Holy Land had one. Even if they did, they probably wouldn¡¯t let her use it so easily. With this divine medicine, Ling Ran believed that her internal injury would definitely be completely cured, and she would no longer have to worry about the danger of dying. On the other side was a book exuding purple light. A few large words were written on it: Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra! ¡°The legendary ¡®Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡¯!¡± This made Ling Ran even more surprised than when she saw the divine medicine. This was because the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra was a peerless ancient Sutra created by the legendary Supreme Zixia Empress in the era more than one hundred thousand years ago. It was rumored that the Zixia Empress also had the Zixia Body and had cultivated it to the peak, reaching an unprecedented level. It was just that, wasn¡¯t the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡± lost? To think it had appeared here. Ling Ran flipped through the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and found it profound and mysterious. Although it was her first time seeing it, she could feel that it was perfectly compatible with her Zixia Body, making her certain that this was the real Sutra, and she was moved by the gift. At last, there was only a note with a single line of words: This is to return the favor in the past tenfold! She thought of the disappearing figure. She had thought that it was a thief who had sneaked in to steal, but the divine medicine and the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡± that appeared on the table were all priceless treasures. Who was the other party? Why did he look so familiar? Moreover, a favor of the past? When did she give favor to such a mysterious expert? ¡­ On the Holy Son¡¯s mountain where the Holy Son, lived. In contrast to the sorrows of the outside world, the Holy Son¡¯s mountain was filled with joy. In the grand palace, the Holy Son Zhao Yi sat on the main seat, flanked by the Holy Land disciples who were on good terms with him and followed him. At this moment, a disciple cupped his fists at Zhao Yi and laughed, ¡°Congratulations, Your Highness. The Holy Daughter has now failed her tribulation and suffered an internal injury. In the future, it is impossible for her to compete for the position of Holy Lord. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, you are the most qualified to compete for the Holy Lord¡¯s position!¡± ¡°Your Highness is now on level seven of the Wuxing Realm. No one in the Holy Land is your match.¡± ¡°Soon, the next Holy Lord will be decided. Now that the Holy Daughter has been crippled, who else is most qualified to become the Holy Lord but Your Highness?¡± In the palace, many disciples were flattering Zhao Yi. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t say that. The Holy Daughter will definitely be able to get through this. The Taiyi Holy Land needs a true genius like her to lead the Holy Land back to its former glory!¡± Zhao Yi shook his head, but a hint of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes. ¡°Your Highness must be joking. The Holy Lord has said that the Holy Daughter¡¯s Internal injury is imprinted in her origin. She is already very lucky to survive and will not be able to advance further in this life!¡± A disciple said, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land needs someone like you to support us, not the Holy Daughter!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Your Highness. Apart from you, who else in the Taiyi Holy Land is qualified to be the next Holy Lord?¡± The other disciples also chimed in, their faces full of flattery. Hearing all this, Zhao Yi¡¯s face revealed a ¡°reluctant¡± expression as he said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, if the Holy Daughter really can¡¯t recover, I am willing to bear this responsibility and lead the Holy Land to revive and return to its ancient glory!¡± ¡°Your Highness is wise!¡± Ever since he found out that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after going through the heavenly tribulation, and that it would be difficult to heal for the rest of her life, Zhao Yi had appeared very sad in front of others. However, when he returned to his Holy Son¡¯s mountain, he would reveal his true colors and appear very happy. Back then, Zhao Yi and Ling Ran had been chosen as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land. Countless people in the Holy Land believed that Zhao Yi would become the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land one day, and the Holy Daughter was destined to be his wife. Even Zhao Yi himself thought so. However, ever since Ling Ran gradually displayed her amazing talent and surpassed him, the light that should have belonged to him as the Holy Son was snatched away by Ling Ran, and it gradually dimmed. Gradually, everyone in the Holy Land believed that the next Holy Lord would no longer be him, but Ling Ran. As for Ling Ran, she couldn¡¯t possibly become Zhao Yi¡¯s wife. Even though Zhao Yi had been working very hard over the years and had shown sufficient talent, the gap between him and Ling Ran still gradually widened. Moreover, Ling Ran¡¯s legendary physique of the Zixia Body had also gradually shown her extraordinary talent and amazing cultivation speed. Back then, the two of them had started cultivating at about the same time. However, after so many years, Ling Ran had already transcended the heavenly tribulation and reached the Liuhe Realm, while he had only reached level seven of the WuxingRealm. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger. Now that Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after transcending the tribulation, the Holy Land would no longer have high hopes for her, and they would once again pour their resources into him, the Holy Son. In the future, he would also succeed the position of the Holy Lord, and Ling Ran would become his wife. Zhao Yi was naturally happy to see such a thing happen. When no one was around, he would occasionally reveal a happy smile, ¡°As expected, I am the main character of the world. The next Holy Lord will not be Ling Ran, but me! Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need to agree to that fellow¡¯s request. ¡± Mentioning ¡°that fellow¡±, Zhao Yi revealed a deep look of fear. A few days later, a brilliant purple light suddenly burst out in Zixia Palace. It spread out for hundreds of miles, accompanied by a powerful aura, which attracted the attention of all parties in the Taiyi Holy Land. A beautiful figure soared into the sky. It was none other than Ling Ran. She was as ethereal as a fairy, like a celestial who had come to Earth. This scene truly stunned everyone. Didn¡¯t Ling Ran fail to transcend her heavenly tribulation, suffer from internal injuries, and was going to die soon? Why did it seem like she was different overnight? Her aura had faintly become stronger as well. Her aura that should have been weak and dispirited had been reborn and flourished, and it was even better than before. What had happened? The Taiyi Holy Lord led a group of elders to Ling Ran¡¯s side. They could feel that Ling Ran had changed a lot since yesterday. She did not seem weak at all. Moreover, they could clearly feel waves of powerful energy continuously bursting out of Ling Ran¡¯s body. Although they were all in the Liuhe Realm, many Supreme Elders¡¯ expressions changed slightly at this moment. This was because Ling Ran¡¯s aura was not much weaker than theirs, old Grandmasters who had been in the Liuhe Realm for hundreds of years. Rather, it was even stronger, which shouldn¡¯t be. The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, ¡°Ling Ran, have you recovered from your internal injuries?¡± Ling Ran nodded, saying in an aloof manner, ¡°Thank you for your concern, Holy Lord, and all the elders. My internal injury has already healed!¡± Hearing this, even though the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other elders had already guessed it, they were still shocked. The Holy Son, Zhao Yi, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°This is impossible!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Taiyi Holy Lord glanced at Zhao Yi coldly, and the latter came back to his senses, ¡°I¡¯m naturally very happy that junior sister Ling Ran¡¯s internal injuries have recovered. I just found it unbelievable that she can be cured without the help of divine medicine or a Venerable in the Path of Life. I¡¯m sorry for my slip of the tongue just now, and I hope that everyone can forgive me. ¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others also found it unbelievable. They looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, ¡°Ling Ran, how did you recover?¡± They simply couldn¡¯t figure out how Ling Ran had healed her injuries. After all, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land was able to help her. Ling Ran had already thought of an explanation for this. She said, ¡°A few days ago when I was recuperating, an expert broke into Zixia Palace and said that I had the Zixia Body and would inherit the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress in the future. That expert gave me the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡± and a divine medicine to help me resolve my internal injuries. He helped me to cultivate a sutra that is perfectly compatible with the Zixia Body!¡± Naturally, this was a lie. But if she didn¡¯t say so, it would be difficult to explain this matter. After all, these two treasures had been sent to her for no reason on the excuse that it was repaying her past kindness. To be honest, Ling Ran could not think of what abilities she had to have done something that amounted to doing a favor for the mysterious expert. On the other hand, she was also interested in the position of the Holy Lord and carrying out reforms for the Taiyi Holy Land. Therefore, she deliberately borrowed the Zixia Empress¡¯ name. Although it was a lie, it was not much different from the truth. The only lie was that she had inherited the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. However, the Holy Lord Taiyi and the others could only know the truth if they asked the Zixia Empress¡¯s descendants directly. Zixia Empress¡¯s orthodoxy was far away in God¡¯s Forbidden Ground, not in the Canglan Continent. So, how could they find them? Moreover, Zixia Empress was a Supreme, and the orthodoxy she left behind could be considered an immortal Holy Land where there were extreme Emperor soldiers, making it far stronger than the current Taiyi Holy Land. The Taiyi Holy Land simply did not dare to ask. Besides, the Taiyi Holy Land regarded Ling Ran as their future Holy Lord, and with this news, they were more than happy for her. How would they go and ask about this? Sure enough, after hearing this news, the Taiyi Saint Lord and the Supreme Elders were very pleasantly surprised. They were happy that Ling Ran¡¯s injury had been cured and that she could get the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. The Zixia Empress was a famous Supreme in history. Although she did not become an Emperor in the end, she had ruled the great universe for some time and left her name in history. It was definitely her good fortune that Ling Ran could inherit the Zixia Empress¡¯s orthodoxy and become her successor. On the other hand, they also let go of their doubts. No wonder Ling Ran could heal her internal injury. No wonder they hadn¡¯t even noticed that someone had broken into the Taiyi Holy Land. It turned out that the other party was an expert from the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. The news that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had recovered from her injuries spread throughout the entire Taiyi Holy Land. She was loved by countless disciples, and so many people had been sad that she had failed to pass the heavenly tribulation and was injured. Now that she had recovered, many were happy for her. ¡°Damn it!¡± On the Holy Son¡¯s mountain, Zhao Yi angrily smashed many treasures. Originally, he was about to obtain the position of the Holy Lord. He never expected that Ling Ran¡¯s Internal injuries would actually recover! This was completely unexpected. Since this had happened, how could he compete against Ling Ran? It would be even more impossible for him to obtain the position of the Holy Lord! ¡°Completely submit to me. As long as you¡¯re willing to submit to me, I can give you talent that surpasses the Holy Daughter Ling Ran¡¯s, and you¡¯ll be able to suppress the entire Taiyi Holy Land. At that time, not only will you be able to control the entire Taiyi Holy Land, but you¡¯ll also become the master of this macro world!¡± An eerie voice suddenly rang out in his mind. It was tempting Zhao Yi. After a long period of silence, Zhao Yi raised his head, his eyes filled with determination as he said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m willing to submit to you. I¡¯m willing to be demonized, but the condition is that you have to give me enough power!¡± ¡°Hehehe, don¡¯t worry. As long as you demonize, you can easily kill a Qiyao Realm King, let alone mere Liuhe Realm Grandmasters like the Taiyi Holy Lord!¡± The laughter in his mind was filled with endless evil. Pitch black traces of demonization gradually appeared in Zhao Yi¡¯s eyes¡­ Qin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating in his wooden house, suddenly felt something. He looked in a certain direction and frowned, ¡°Hm? There¡¯s actually demonic energy here, and it¡¯s even denser and more evil than the demonic shadow in the Demon Sealing Land. Could it be that there are some demonic creatures hidden in the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± However, when he sensed it carefully again, the demonic energy disappeared, and he could not sense it effectively. In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed. On this day, the Taiyi Holy Lord announced that he was appointing the Holy Daughter Ling Ran as the next Holy Lord. More than 90% of the elders and disciples in the Holy Land agreed. It was no surprise, though. After all, Ling Ran was the most outstanding genius of the Taiyi Holy Land since ancient times. The Holy Son Zhao Yi didn¡¯t object at all. He just calmly looked at the Holy Land¡¯s upper echelons, including the Holy Lord. At night, on the Holy Lord¡¯s mountain. In the Holy Lord¡¯s Palace, the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s face was pale, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. A terrifying palm print could be clearly seen on his chest, burning with wisps of black demonic flames. The palm print and the black demonic flames were imprinted on the Holy Lord¡¯s chest. Even though the Taiyi Holy Lord was a great expert at level eight of the Liuhe Realm and had hopes of reaching the Qiyao Realm, he couldn¡¯t expel the demonic flame palm print even with his exquisite cultivation. On the contrary, the demonic flame palm print had severely injured the Taiyi Holy Lord. Demonic energy invaded his body, and his aura was weak and dispirited. Behind the Holy Lord, the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land appeared one after another. They looked at the handsome young man who was a hundred feet away with disbelief and anger. ¡°Zhao Yi, as the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land, how dare you attack the Holy Lord?¡± A Supreme Elder¡¯s face was filled with shock and anger, but also pain. The devilish-looking young man, who was shrouded in a pitch-black light, was none other than the Holy Son, Zhao Yi. However, the current Zhao Yi no longer had his usual divine and extraordinary appearance. On the contrary, he appeared dark and strange, as if he had been demonized. Just two hours ago, Zhao Yi had informed the Holy Lord and the esteemed Supreme Elders that he had an important matter to report. However, when they arrived, they found a demonic flame palm print on the Holy Lord¡¯s chest. His face was pale, and he was seriously injured. Obviously, it was Zhao Yi¡¯s doing. Zhao Yi looked at them with a sneer and said, ¡°Holy Son? How laughable. If I can¡¯t become the Holy Lord, what was the use of being the Holy Son? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to just kill all of you, and then I¡¯ll take the position of Holy Lord?¡± The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace was extremely shocked and furious when he heard that. He bellowed, ¡°You evil spawn, how dare you deceive and hurt your Master? What¡¯s the use of having you? Why don¡¯t I just kill you directly!¡± Then, the Supreme Elder rushed forward and slapped towards Zhao Yi¡¯s face. His palm contained a terrifying power that could kill a Wuxing Realm Grandmaster. It was apparent that the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace already had the intention to kill Zhao Yi in his anger. However, Zhao Yi did not dodge. He slapped a palm out as well and it collided with the Tribunal Elder¡¯s palm. Boom! A mist of blood exploded. It was the Tribunal Elder¡¯s hand. His palm and arm had exploded. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°How is this possible?¡± The Tribunal Elder staggered backward and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief. Although he was not as powerful as the Holy Lord, he was still an expert in level five of the Liuhe Realm. He was unrivaled in the entire Taiyi Holy Land. In his opinion, Zhao Yi was only on level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Although he had injured the Holy Lord, it must have been a sneak attack. But now, in a head-on battle, he had been injured by Zhao Yi. This clearly proved that Zhao Yi¡¯s strength was even stronger than his. Zhao Yi stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace with eyes full of ridicule and said, ¡°You¡¯re only at level five of the Liuhe Realm. You¡¯re not even as strong as Lu Xuan, and you dare to attack me? How ridiculous.¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s name was Lu Xuan. The other Supreme Elders all looked at Zhao Yi in shock. He had defeated the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Council in a single move, and his words clearly showed that he didn¡¯t think much of the Taiyi Holy Lord. Didn¡¯t this mean that his strength was far from level nine of the Wuxing Realm? Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, took a deep breath and used his cultivation to temporarily suppress the demonic flame palm print on his chest. He looked at Zhao Yi and said with a pained expression, ¡°Zhao Yi, why did you betray the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± ¡°Betray the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± Zhao Yi sneered. At this moment, his entire body was emitting a huge amount of demonic energy, making him look very demonic. He sneered and said, ¡°I¡¯m the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land. How would I betray the Taiyi Holy Land? I simply can¡¯t stand the decline of the Taiyi Holy Land, so I plan to clean it up and lead it back to its peak. It¡¯s just that if I lead it under normal circumstances, the return to glory is too slow. It¡¯s a complete waste of time. That¡¯s why I¡¯m planning to turn the Taiyi Holy Land into a Demonic Holy Land. I¡¯ll unseal the demonic palace that the founding master had sealed and wake the slumbering demonic Sage. As long as the demonic Sage comes to, the Holy Land of Taiyi will become a Demonic Holy Land in a very short time. At that time, no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands, or even the entire Canglan Continent, will be a match for the Holy Land of Taiyi! The Holy Land of Taiyi will finally rule the world!¡± Everyone¡¯s expression changed. ¡°The demonic Sage!?¡± The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace said hurriedly, ¡°Zhao Yi, you can¡¯t do that. That¡¯s not a demonic Sage, but a Sage of the ten thousand ancient races, a true Demon King. In the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races fed on humans and harmed them, causing countless lives to be lost. Once the Demon King is released, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land will be able to stop him. Everyone here will even be completely reduced to the food of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race, and no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands will be able to stop him! The Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s reputation will be ruined if we release the Demon King!¡± ¡°Elders, you¡¯re thinking too much. It won¡¯t be like this,¡± Zhao Yi said. The Taiyi Holy Lord coughed out a mouthful of blood and said, ¡°Zhao Yi, you¡¯ve been demonized and demonic thoughts has been born within you. You¡¯re a good child with a bright future. You shouldn¡¯t demonize!¡± ¡°No, no, no, you¡¯re wrong. I didn¡¯t go mad, nor did I give birth to demonic thoughts. I let the demonic thoughts enter my body,¡± Zhao Yi sneered. When these words came out of his mouth, it made everyone¡¯s expression change. They finally understood that Zhao Yi must have been affected by the demonic thoughts of the Demon King that the Sage ancestors had brought back in the past. The Demon King must have awakened by now. It was just that he was sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land by the Sage ancestor and could not break out of the seal. However, there must be a loophole in the seal. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have been affected by the Demon King¡¯s demonic thoughts, and he would not have been demonized. The Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he still hoped that Zhao Yi would return to the right path, ¡°Zhao Yi, put down your demonic thoughts and return to the right path. Since ancient times, evil has never been able to win against good. If you become a demon, you will be the enemy of the world!¡± ¡°Hahaha, if the world is my enemy, I will slaughter the entire world!¡± Zhao Yi laughed heartily, his entire person filled with demonic nature. He then looked at them and said, ¡°Cut the crap! I¡¯m going to kill all of you right now! Then, I¡¯ll start the sacrificial ritual and unseal the Demon King of the ancient race!¡± Boom! Demonic energy filled the sky! Zhao Yi¡¯s body rippled with endless dark demonic energy, which swept toward the people of the Taiyi Holy Land. Everyone¡¯s expression changed, ¡°This is the aura at the Qiyao Realm!¡± ¡°Oh no, this evil spawn has actually reached the Qiyao Realm. It must be the power that the Demon King gave him!¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the ancient Sages could cut down mountains and rivers with a single strand of hair. It¡¯s indeed shocking!¡± Having said that, everyone still made their moves at the first moment and struck out one after another, crazily colliding with the monstrous demonic energy. Whoosh¡ª The monstrous demonic energy was torn apart, and one divine technique after another hit Zhao Yi¡¯s body. However, Zhao Yi¡¯s body simply trembled, and an even more terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, annihilating all of these divine techniques. In the next instant, he charged over. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! In just a few moments, all the Supreme Elders were sent flying and smashed into the palace walls. Blood was spurting out of their mouths as they couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Even the Holy Lord was sent flying with injuries. All of the top experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were sent flying with just one move. They were no match for the enemy. The might of a Qiyao Realm King was fully displayed! ¡°In my mission to change the Taiyi Holy Land, I¡¯ll start with you, Holy Lord!¡± Zhao Yi sneered as he looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord and walked forward. The demonic energy on his body became even more terrifying, and it covered Heaven and Earth as if it was going to drown him. Kacha! At this moment, a brilliant purple light suddenly bloomed! Ling Ran appeared. She descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Yi in an instant, blocking his attack. Seeing Ling Ran, Zhao Yi sneered, ¡°Ling Ran, you¡¯re finally here. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time!¡± There was a sharp sword in Ling Ran¡¯s hand, and it released rays of purple light that turned into layers of clear light circles to protect the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others. She said coldly,¡±Zhao Yi, put down your blade and return to the right path. If you do that, you¡¯re still the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°The Holy Son?¡± Zhao Yi said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care about that position anymore. Today, I¡¯ll kill all of you, and the Holy Lord¡¯s position will be mine. So, I¡¯ll have to trouble all of you to die!¡± The demonic energy was vast and mighty as Zhao Yi rushed over. Ling Ran held the sharp sword in her hand, and her body released rays of deep purple light. Her Zixia Body communicated with Heaven and Earth, and an amazing aura spread out from her. She was actually at level four of the Liuhe Realm! It had to be said that her cultivation speed could be said to be advancing a thousand miles a day. After all, she had only entered the Liuhe Realm five years ago, which meant she had advanced a level every year. One had to know that at the later stages of cultivation, every step forward would require more time and effort than before to achieve. Even The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders in the Liuhe Realm took hundreds of years to reach thier realms. Yet, Ling Ran had only spent five years to reach level four of the Liuhe Realm. As expected of someone with the legendary Zixia Body and the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. She was indeed extraordinary! No wonder the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others thought so highly of her and believed that she could become a Qiyao Realm King within a hundred years. ¡°It¡¯s no use. I¡¯ve already advanced to the Qiyao Realm. You¡¯re too weak!¡± Zhao Yi sneered and released a palm attack, easily blocking Ling Ran¡¯s attack. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and terrifying demonic energy surged out and sent Ling Ran flying. Her delicate body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and she fell to the side. ¡°Ling Ran, you¡¯re indeed extraordinary. If you were also a Qiyao Realm King, it would¡¯ve been difficult for me to defeat you. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not one yet,¡± Zhao Yi said indifferently. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I advise you not to waste your efforts. I¡¯ve already obtained the Demon King¡¯s inheritance and am already in the Qiyao Realm. Unless a late-stage Qiyao Realm King appears, then only will I turn and leave without a word. Unfortunately, the Taiyi Holy Land has long declined. The most powerful cultivator here is only at level eight of the Liuhe Realm, far inferior to me. How can they compete with me? Since you don¡¯t have any experts, you¡¯d better just obediently die!¡± As soon as Zhao Yi¡¯s voice fell, a pitch-black demonic fog quickly shrouded the palace, blocking all light and making it seem dim. Under the suppression of the demonic energy, everyone¡¯s aura gradually weakened. It was difficult for them to withstand the demonic might. ¡°Oh no! Is the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed because of a traitor?¡± A Supreme Elder¡¯s face was filled with despair. Although the Taiyi Holy Land had the foundations of a Holy Land and could suppress Zhao Yi, the means they had needed time to activate. No one had expected this to happen. Everything had happened too suddenly, thus leading to the current situation. To think that the great Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed not because of external forces, but because of internal strife caused by a disciple who had been demonized. How ridiculous was this? Yet, all of it was happening right in front of their eyes. ¡°Die, all of you, die! Sacrifice yourselves and the Demon King will grant me more power!¡± Zhao Yi laughed sinisterly and attacked the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others, especially Ling Ran. The Zixia Body was remarkable and contained an extraordinary bloodline. If he could absorb it, his cultivation level would improve even further. When the Taiyi Holy Lord saw this, he gritted his teeth. Suddenly, his entire body started to burn, and an even stronger power appeared in him. Even the demonic flame palm print on his chest disappeared. Clearly, he was prepared to sacrifice himself. ¡°Holy Lord!¡± Everyone cried out in alarm. However, the Taiyi Holy Lord said firmly, ¡°As Zhao Yi¡¯s master, I¡¯m also responsible for him demonizing. I can¡¯t let him destroy the Taiyi Holy Land, or I¡¯ll be ashamed to face the ancestors even if I die. You guys can leave. I¡¯m here. At least, it won¡¯t be a problem for me to stop him. You guys can take the opportunity to recover and kill this evil spawn!¡± Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Waves of shocking power surged out. In that instant, the Taiyi Holy Lord, who had burned his blood essence, also reached the Qiyao Realm. When the Supreme Elders and Ling Ran saw this, although they were extremely sorrowful, they knew that this was the only way out. Tears fell down their faces as they turned around and wanted to leave. Terrifying battle ripples were behind them. However, they didn¡¯t dare to look back at all, for fear that they would miss the precious opportunity and be chased and killed by the demonized Zhao Yi. Boom! Suddenly, the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s figure flew backward and crashed into the palace, collapsing it. The demonic fog once again enveloped the entire Holy Lord mountain, sealing it off and making it impossible to leave. Zhao Yi¡¯s body was shrouded in a strong demonic light. He looked at the people who had yet to escape and sneered, ¡°So what if he burned his lifespan to reach the Qiyao Realm? I, Zhao Yi, am no ordinary King.¡± At this moment, the Supreme Elders were filled with despair when they saw the pale-faced Holy Lord with blood on his lips. Ling Ran also gritted her teeth, and a hint of despair appeared on her fair and beautiful face. At this moment, Qin Chen silently appeared on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. His Martial Arts Heavenly Eye witnessed everything and he sighed softly, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land is where I grew up and has treated me well. I can¡¯t just watch it be destroyed. Besides, there are still many places in the Taiyi Holy Land that I haven¡¯t checked in to.¡± As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a golden needle appeared. It was something he had obtained from checking-in in the past, and it was made of immortal material. Although he had just casually thrown it aside, it was no ordinary item. At this moment, Qin Chen flicked his finger, and the golden needle instantly pierced through the void, crossing a thousand miles and appearing on the Holy Lord¡¯s mountain. The pitch-black demonic fog that enveloped the entire Holy Lord¡¯s mountain seemed to have been burned by Emperor flames. In an instant, it was reduced to nothing, and an empty passage appeared. The golden needle arrived like a bolt of golden lightning. ¡°This is¡ª¡± Zhao Yi reacted and subconsciously moved his palm forward to block, but the golden light easily broke through his palm and rushed towards his forehead. ¡°Shit!¡± Zhao Yi¡¯s expression changed drastically, but he couldn¡¯t dodge because the golden needle was too fast. He let out a huge cry in a hurry, and a demonic pattern full of demonic energy emerged between his eyebrows, intertwining into a special ancient character, which vaguely contained a trace of the Holy path aura. It was a Holy inscription that could only be constructed by a Sage in the Jiutian Realm. It had been given to him by the Demon King of the ancient race, enough to withstand an attack from a Venerable. The golden needle hit the Holy path demonic pattern and, with a clang, was blocked. But the Holy path demonic pattern also shattered. Zhao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but he still felt a lingering fear. If it weren¡¯t for the life-saving means given by the Demon King, he would have been dead this time. At the same time, his face turned solemn. To think the Taiyi Holy Land had such a super expert. Had its foundation recovered? But it shouldn¡¯t be that fast. However, at this moment, an unparalleled sense of danger suddenly appeared in Zhao Yi¡¯s heart. A second golden light appeared in an instant and directly pierced through the space between his eyebrows. With a pfft sound, it came out from the back of his head. ¡°This, this is¡ª¡± Zhao Yi¡¯s eyes quickly lost focus. Just as his primordial spirit was being annihilated, he looked into the distance and saw an ordinary figure standing on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. The figure was also looking at him from a hundred miles away, and the other party¡¯s expression was very calm. At this moment, Zhao Yi recognized the other party¡¯s identity, and his eyes widened in disbelief. It was him? How was it possible? Wasn¡¯t he just an abandoned Prince of a divine dynasty in dire straits? Wasn¡¯t he just trash with a mortal body who couldn¡¯t cultivate? Wasn¡¯t he just a janitor? Normally, he swept the floor in the Taiyi Holy Land and was inconspicuous. Zhao Yi had never expected that he would be such a great expert. Crash¨C Even after he fell to the ground, Zhao Yi still couldn¡¯t believe that the janitor whom he had always looked down on was such a hidden expert. ¡­ On the Holy Lord¡¯s mountain, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others looked at this scene in a daze. They couldn¡¯t come back to their senses even after witnessing Zhao Yi¡¯s death. A moment ago, Zhao Yi had been like the sovereign of the world with monstrous demonic power. They were all injured lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They were even full of despair, thinking that the Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed in the future. Then, in the next moment, a golden light flashed, and the great demon Zhao Yi was killed just like that. That was a great demon, a Qiyao Realm King, yet he had been killed so silently and swiftly. One of the elders couldn¡¯t help but say to the Holy Lord excitedly, ¡°Holy Lord, to think the Holy Land has such a peerless master! He¡¯s really hidden well, which senior do you think he is?¡± Chapter 20 - Thirty Years, Half-step Venerable Chapter 20 Thirty Years, Half-step Venerable All the Holy Land elders were excited! To be able to kill a Qiyao Realm King in an instant, the other party had to be at the peak of the Qiyao Realm at the very least. It was very likely that the other party was an existence that was half a step into the Bahuang Realm. The other party might even be a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. If the Taiyi Holy Land had a Bahuang Realm Venerable, it might be able to revive and return to its former peak. At the very least, a Bahuang Realm Venerable would be enough to make the Taiyi Holy Land inviolable. After all, it was extremely difficult to produce a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm in the Dharma-Ending Age. The other Supreme Elders all looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord with excitement. Did the Taiyi Holy Land really have such a terrifying senior? The Taiyi Holy Lord smiled bitterly, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but it shouldn¡¯t be the foundational old senior sealed in the holy weapon. Zhao Yi¡¯s arrival was too sudden, and I didn¡¯t have time to summon him.¡± Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They had also rushed to the location the golden light had come from at the first moment, but there was no one there. The expert that was quite possibly in the Bahuang Realm that had made a move had left a long time ago. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there to be such a peerless expert in the Taiyi Holy Land,¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, ¡°But I can see that the senior doesn¡¯t want to appear. We shouldn¡¯t force him.¡± Hearing this, the other elders all sighed helplessly. Although all of them hoped that the old senior would step forward to guard the Holy Land, if the senior was not willing to come out, there was nothing they could do. Ling Ran was the only one who looked pensively at the pair of footprints left on the ground. They gave off a familiar aura. She was wondering if the person who had made a move just now was the same person who had given her the divine medicine and the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡±. Qin Chen, who had returned to his residence, seemed to have done something ordinary. More importantly, he didn¡¯t want to show his face in public now. He just wanted to keep a low profile. Keeping a low profile was the right way! If the world were to know about him, it would definitely bring about a lot of trouble. Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed. It had been thirty years since he had acquired the check-in system, and Qin Chen had also checked in for the thirty years period. During this period, he checked in all over the Taiyi Holy Land and obtained countless treasures. He found that the Taiyi Holy Land was really a place of treasure. To think he had gained so many great rewards by just checking in. He was increasingly sure that the Taiyi Holy Land was no ordinary place. First, there was the Emperor relic of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, then there was the quasi-emperor grade weapon. How could this be a simple place? Of course, because Qin Chen had obtained countless treasures in the past 30 years, his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that ordinary people could not imagine. Unknowingly, he was already in level nine of the Qiyao Realm, already a half-step Venerable. In the world of cultivation, it was divided into 10 great realms: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian, and Shifang. Those in the Liuhe Realm were also known as Grandmasters. The Supreme Elders of the immortal inheritances from the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly at this level. Of course, the current Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land was also at this level. Once one transcended the Liuhe Realm, one could be crowned as a King in the mortal world. Those in the Qiyao Realm were known as Kings. The Family Lords, Holy Lords, and Imperial Lords of the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly all in this realm. In the Canglan Continent of the present era, they could be considered super experts who could move unhindered in the world. Those in the Bahuang Realm were known as Venerables and respected by all. To even barely manage to advance to the Bahuang Realm, the Kings had to go through the legendary Path-seeking tribulation, and only one out of 20 to 30 Kings could survive it. After the ancient era, Heaven and Earth suppressed cultivation, and the difficulty of cultivation had increased greatly. Countless geniuses had stopped at the Qiyao Realm. In the entire Canglan Continent, the number of Venerables at the Bahuang Realm could probably be counted with one hand. There was no doubt that Venerables could already overlook the entire Canglan Continent. Qin Chen was now at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, only one step away from becoming a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. This was even a result of his intentional suppression, not wanting to improve too quickly and cause his foundation to be unstable. Otherwise, he would have broken through long ago. At the same time, Qin Chen was still keeping a low profile. Although he had reached the peak of the Qiyao Realm in 30 years and with the terrifying potential of the Chaotic Holy Body, the strongest body in history, he could challenge those of a higher realm than him, allowing him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bahunag Venerables, he still felt that his strength was not enough and continued to hide in the Taiyi Holy Land. This was because there had been signs of the ten thousand ancient races emerging in recent years. Now that Heaven and Earth were gradually recovering and the Dharma-Ending Age was about to end, the ten thousand ancient races would definitely choose to appear in this era. By then, many Kings and Venerbales would appear, as well as Jiutian Realm Sages. Qin Chen was currently only a peak King on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. He was nothing even in front of Venerables in the Bahuang Realm, let alone Sages in the Jiutian Realm, who were rumored to be able to kill a King in the Qiyao Realm with a single strand of hair. Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen still felt that he had to keep a low profile. He had to become a Jiutian Realm Sage who had proven his path, or even better, reach Shifang Divine Realm before barely showing himself. Of course, it would be best if he could become an Emperor who had proven his path. Then, he could be invincible. All this time, to confuse the others in the Holy Land, Qin Chen would continue to check in while making his appearance look older. However, because he could practice martial arts, he only looked forty years old. The fact that he could not cultivate successfully even after 30 years made the other people in the Taiyi Holy Land even more disappointed in Qin Chen, who was already an abandoned Prince. So of course, they did not pay attention to him and let him continue to sweep the floor. As for the senior servant, Qin Chen had silently transferred some divine power into him to cleanse his meridians and marrow. The other party could now cultivate, but he had only reached the Liangyi Realm. Though, his lifespan had increased a lot. After all, he had helped Qin Chen before, so Qin Chen naturally did not want to watch him die of old age. But he couldn¡¯t let the old servant¡¯s cultivation increase too quickly, or else it would arouse suspicion. ¡°I¡¯m already on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. The next step is to break through to the Bahuang Realm. It¡¯s said that to reach that realm, one has to seek one¡¯s path, cutting off a part of one¡¯s self, be it emotions, or demonic barriers, and so on. But it will also be a narrow escape, and there is the danger of death. Of course, as far as I¡¯m concerned, with the system, it¡¯s destined that there won¡¯t be much danger,¡± Qin Chen mumbled to himself as he lay on the wooden bed. He looked at the starry sky through the window. He had decided that his next step would be to seek his path, sever all the shackles, and walk on the path of the strongest. On this day, Qin Chen went to the Taiyi Main Hall to sweep the floor as usual. [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the check-in reward: Baoshan Seal!) [Note: as the host has checked in multiple times at the Taiyi Main Hall, the host can not proceed with the next check-in!] This was already the umpteenth time Qin Chen had checked in at the Taiyi Main Hall, and he was slightly taken aback when he heard the system¡¯s voice. However, in the past thirty years, he had checked in at least a hundred times here, so no matter how powerful the divinity here was, it should have been exhausted. It was fine though, he would just not check in at the Taiyi Main Hall in the future. All of a sudden, a beautiful figure descended from the sky and landed in the Taiyi Main Hall, attracting the attention of many disciples. ¡°Heavens, it¡¯s her Highness the Holy Daughter!¡± ¡°I feel that the Holy Daughter has become stronger. She¡¯s even stronger than many Supreme Elders!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Her Highness, the Holy Daughter, entered the Liuhe Realm fifteen years ago. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, only a few Supreme Elders can surpass her, except for the Holy Lord!¡± ¡°The Holy Daughter is the most talented person in the history of the Taiyi Holy Land. She has the legendary Zixia Body. She was born with a path that is unparalleled. I¡¯m afraid her cultivation is no inferior to the Holy Lord¡¯s!¡± ¡°With Her Highness¡¯s talent, she has a high chance of becoming the next Holy Lord! Chapter 22 - The Demon Kings Appearance Chapter 22 The Demon King¡¯s Appearance After all, ancient great emperors were the strongest existences in history. Only one could be born in each era. They were existences who had invincible might in the past and the present. When they were alive, they looked down on the entire great cosmos, and every talent would have to bow their heads. Even the former Heavenly Venerables and the Ancient Emperors of the seven great Life Forbidden Zones had to bow their heads. The factions that those existences had built were also the most powerful in the world, with immortal inheritances that have been passed down for millions of years. Now that the Emperor relic had appeared, within would definitely be some of the ancient great emperor¡¯s legacy. In the Southern Desolate Land, countless forces rushed to the Taiyi Holy Land. Countless powerful auras appeared, covering Heaven and Earth, and descending into the Taiyi Holy Land There were huge divine ships, carriages pulled by savage beasts¡­ All of them represented the arrival of a faction. Their might suppressed a region, all majestic. The Taiyi Holy Land was on guard as if it was facing a great enemy. Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, had already soared into the sky with a group of elders to welcome the other parties. He cupped his fists helplessly and said, ¡°Welcome to the Taiyi Holy Land, Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords. We¡¯re sorry for not coming out to welcome you.¡± In the sky, the Holy Lords of immortal Holy Lands, Family Lords of ancient families, and Imperial Lords of ancient dynasties stood in the air. Divine might that could shake the void flowed from their bodies. Like Gods standing high in the air, they looked at the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land and nodded slightly. After all, he was still a Holy Lord, even though his Holy Land had long declined. However, the status of him being the Holy Lord was enough for him to be on an equal footing with them. Nodding in acknowledgment was a form of respect for his status. They couldn¡¯t ignore the fact that they were here for the Emperor relic, though. The Holy Lord from the Wanchu Holy Land said, ¡°Taiyi Holy Lord, we¡¯re here with the wish to take a look at the Emperor relic.¡± Although he said that, his tone did not allow for any rejection How could the Taiyi Holy Lord reject the request? Even if he stopped them, they would still enter anyway. They were just giving him some respect. Lu Xuan, the Taiyi Saint Lord, could only agree with a bitter smile. The various Kings of the many factions entered one after another, heading toward the Emperor relic. The Emperor relic was filled with boundless light. As waves of chaos energy spread, a small world appeared indistinctly. In the small world, the light was even more dazzling, interweaved with all kinds of laws and divine chains of order. There was a magnificent palace there, which surprised and delighted all the Kings, ¡°It¡¯s a great Emperor¡¯s palace!¡± Only a great Emperor¡¯s palace would be like this. The palace of an ancient great emperor would definitely contain countless treasures that tempted the Kings of the various factions to the extreme. All the Kings rushed in to find the true divine treasure of the great Emperor. Seeing that these Kings had completely ignored the Taiyi Holy Land, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others could only smile bitterly. Ling Ran, who was standing behind them, remained silent. Although she was already at level nine of the Liuhe Realm and could become a true King in the Qiyao Realm at any time, even if she succeeded, she would still be nothing compared to these Kings. After all, they were all senior Kings who had lived for one or two thousand years. Their cultivation was profound. There were even living aged fossils among them, who were only one step away from the Bahuang Realm. On a mountain peak in the distance, Qin Chen¡¯s figure appeared without a sound. When he saw the appearance of the great Emperor¡¯s palace, he frowned because he had a bad feeling. It was as if there was a terrifying and ominous existence inside the palace. All of a sudden, endless light shot up into the sky from the Emperor¡¯s palace. ¡°Ah¡ª¡°A scream. In the next moment, the figures of the Kings from the Holy Lands, families, and ancient dynasties who had rushed into the great Emperor¡¯s palace flew out one after another. Their bodies were covered in blood and they were in a sorry state. They looked at the palace with shock and anger. Boom! An extremely terrifying demonic energy suddenly soared into the sky and swept across the entire Taiyi Holy Land. The demonic might was unparalleled, even much stronger than the various Kings. It was mighty and fierce! ¡°This demonic energy¡­ Shit! Could it be that the ancient race Demon King that had been sealed by the Sage back then is in the great Emperor¡¯s palace?¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord and the elders¡¯ expressions changed. They felt the familiar demonic energy. It was similar to the demonic energy Zhao Yi had released back then, only countless times stronger. In the great Emperor¡¯s palace, a tall and burly giant man appeared. He had nine huge horns on his head, and his whole body was shrouded in ink-black demonic energy. He was fifteen feet tall and held a giant ax. His body exuded an unparalleled aura, which caused the surrounding void to collapse. It was difficult to withstand his demonic might. ¡°Not good, there¡¯s a demonic creature, and it¡¯s very strong. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm!¡± The expressions of all the Kings changed. Not long ago, a Supreme Elder of a Holy Land had been torn in half by a demonic creature and died a tragic death. Even his primordial spirit had been devoured. Outside the great Emperor¡¯s palace, all the Kings looked at this demon-like man with grave expressions. He was extremely powerful, and they all felt great pressure. Among them, a few of the Qiyao Realm Kings were injured. They were wounded with injuries so deep that their bones could be seen, and the terrifying demonic energy on the wounds was like maggots that could not be removed. Even with their King-level cultivation, they were unable to dispel it in a short time. One could imagine how terrifying this demonic energy was. ¡°How is this the great Emperor¡¯s palace? it¡¯s clearly a demonic palace. My God, if it weren¡¯t for the arrival of all the Kings, the Taiyi Holy Land would have been razed to the ground today,¡± An elder of the Taiyi Holy Land couldn¡¯t help but say. The appearance of the great Emperor¡¯s palace was a great temptation for the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, the Holy Land might even be able to become stronger and return to its former glory with the Emperor relic. However, if the demon Venerable were to reappear, it would be a great disaster for the Taiyi Holy Land. It would destroy the entire place. Now, the Taiyi Holy Land was relieved that the Kings of the other Holy Lands, ancient families, and ancient dynasties had all come. At least, they would be able to contain the demonic creature. The giant man who looked like a Demon King laughed out loud, his voice reverberating in all directions, ¡°After so many years, I, Yang Tiancheng, have finally broken free!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone¡¯s faces changed. ¡°Yang Tiancheng? Could it be the Demonic Venerable, Yang Tiancheng, who shook the Central Province three thousand years ago?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s really that Demonic Venerable. I didn¡¯t expect that he would be trapped here and has now come out!¡± Three thousand years ago, a Demonic Venerable dominated the world. Only a few peerless Venerables could compete with him. However, that year, the Demonic Venerable suddenly disappeared. Could it be that he had been trapped in the great Emperor¡¯s palace when exploring the place? ¡°He isn¡¯t the ancient race Sage-level Demon King that the Sage ancestor suppressed?¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord frowned, ¡°But how did Yang Tiancheng enter the great Emperor¡¯s palace in the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± He simply couldn¡¯t understand the cause and effect. The Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng¡¯s eyes were as dark as the night. He scanned the many Kings present and felt the exuberant blood energy in their bodies. He licked his lips and said, ¡°If not for the seal array left behind by ancient Sage Tai Yun, I wouldn¡¯t have been trapped here for 3000 years. Now that I¡¯ve finally made it out, I didn¡¯t expect to see so much blood for food.¡± He looked at the Kings like he was looking at delicious food. Chapter 23 - Unparalleled Demonic Might Chapter 23 Unparalleled Demonic Might Boom! Demonic might filled the sky as the Demonic Venerable attacked a King from a Holy Land in the sky. That was a Supreme Elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land. He had reached the Qiyao Realm and immediately derived 108 divine light rings to protect himself. This was the supreme secret technique of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Once the divine light was released, nothing could break it. However, that was only probable to enemies in the same realm. The power of the Demonic Venerable was unprecedented in the Bahuang Realm. He was a true Demonic Venerable. He simply broke through the defense of the Yaoguang Holy Land¡¯s Supreme Elder and grabbed him. With a loud boom, a Supreme Elder at the Qiyao Realm was killed just like that, turning into dust. The exploded primordial spirit and the torn flesh were all devoured by the Demon Venerable. With that, the Demonic Venerable¡¯s aura rose to another terrifying level. ¡°Attack! We can¡¯t let him continue attacking. He can devour the power of our flesh and primordial spirit to strengthen himself!¡± A Holy Lord roared. All the Kings could naturally see how powerful the Demonic Venerable was, and they didn¡¯t dare to be careless as they attacked. However, the Demonic Venerable was too powerful. He was a Bahuang Realm Venerable. He didn¡¯t meet the attacks head-on. He knew that with so many attacks, he would be injured if he took them head-on, no matter how strong he was. Thus, he dodged all the attacks and appeared in front of the Yaoguang Holy Lord. His huge hand, which contained an infinite amount of demonic energy, slammed down. Boom! The cultivation level of the Yaoguang Holy Lord was higher than that of the Supreme Elder just now. He was at level eight of the Qiyao Realm and could be considered a top King. 108 divine halos appeared on his body as if they were connected to 108 worlds. They exuded a vast power and turned into an immortal Holy Shield to resist. Behind him, the terrifying phenomenon of ¡°Brilliant Nine Heaven¡± appeared. It stacked on top of the secret technique of the Yaoguang Holy Land, composing a two-layer shield. However, the defense of the divine light and the phenomenon was still forcefully broken through. The gap between each major realm was huge. The Demonic Venerable was much stronger than the Yaoguang Holy Lord, so the former was able to severely injure the latter. Of course, the Yaoguang Holy Lord was also very powerful. He managed to block that attack and wasn¡¯t killed. However, half of his body was also torn apart. He burned his lifespan to retreat like lightning and luckily survived. The attacks of the Kings behind him filled the void and headed toward the Demonic Venerable. The Demonic Venerable dodged half of the attacks, but half of them still landed on him, breaking through his defense and injuring him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were even sharper than before. He looked at the Kings and growled, ¡°To think you managed to injure me. Not bad. However, from today onwards, you will all become my blood food.¡± Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Soon, all the Kings were injured by the Demonic Venerable. One by one, they were sent flying, and blood splattered on the ground. They were in a sorry state. A few Kings were even killed and made to explode, their flesh and souls devoured by the Demonic Venerable. Everyone could feel that Yang Tiancheng¡¯s power was much stronger than before. He was recovering to his peak. Right now, all the Kings from the various factions were at a disadvantage. More importantly, the scene had been sealed off by demonic might, and even the Kings would find it difficult to break out in a short time. Seeing this, the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were also anxious because they knew that if this went on, not only would all the Kings be killed one by one, but the Taiyi Holy Land would also become Yang Tiancheng¡¯s slaughter field. ¡°The Demonic Venerable is too strong. He¡¯s already in the Bahuang Realm. We can¡¯t compare to him!¡± ¡°Once you step into the Bahuang Realm, you can look down on the Liuhe and Bahuang and rule the world. The saying is true!¡± Some Kings smiled bitterly. Each cultivation realm was a different world, and each realm had nine levels. The Demonic Venerable stood proudly in the Bahuang Realm. Although he only seemed one realm away from them, Qiyao Realm Kings, when they fought, only then did they truly understand that the strength of the Bahuang Realm was far from what they could compare to. Boom¡ª A Holy Land living old fossil at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, half a step into the Bahuang Realm, was split in half by the Demonic Venerable¡¯s ax. His soul exploded and he died. This made many people¡¯s hearts turn cold. That was a Half-step Bahuang Realm existence, yet he was so vulnerable. It wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t strong enough, but that the Demonic Venerable was too strong. ¡°Could it be that the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s hundreds of thousands of years of heritage won¡¯t decline, but would be destroyed now?¡± The Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land said bitterly, full of unwillingness. A Holy Land could survive even if it had declined. It even had a chance to rise again and return to its peak in the future. However, he had never thought that he would face the danger of extinction. The inheritance of the ancient Holy Land would end in his hands. How could he accept it? How would he face the ancestors of the Holy Land? ¡°No,¡± He said through gritted teeth, ¡°We¡¯ll have to use the Holy Land¡¯s reserves. Our ancestors from the Taiyi Holy Land have sealed themselves in the Divine Spirit Source. Now that the Holy Land is facing extinction, we can only ask them to come out!¡± Ling Ran and the other Holy Land¡¯s Supreme elders looked solemn. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. Although it had a some reserves, it did not have much left. This was especially so for the ancestors that were sealed within the Divine Spirit Source. They didn¡¯t have much lifespan left. Once they were unsealed, they couldn¡¯t continue sealing themselves again. At most, they could only live for tens or hundreds of years. They were destined to die of old age after they came back to the world. At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s decline would be further strengthened. But now, they had no choice but to ask the old ancestors to come out. At this moment, on a mountain peak far away, Qin Chen, who was dressed in a green handyman robe, appeared silently. He frowned and said, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land is really full of misfortunes. First, Zhao Yi was demonized, and now, the former Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng has appeared.¡± ¡°However, the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng suddenly disappeared from the world 3000 years ago. It¡¯s very strange that he has now suddenly appeared in the great Emperor¡¯s palace that¡¯s sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land. Could it be the doing of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Yang Tiancheng¡¯s demonic energy is the same as Zhao Yi¡¯s. If I¡¯m not wrong, they were both demonized due to the demonic thoughts of the Sage-level Demon King from the ancient race that is being sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°If my guesses are correct, Yang Tiancheng disappeared from the world three thousand years ago probably to save the ancient race¡¯s Sage-level Demon King, but he was trapped under the seal of the Sage ancestor. Now that the seal had been gradually worn out, he was able to escape.¡± With Qin Chen¡¯s knowledge, he thought of many things when he saw the broken Sage-level seal array in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Although Yang Tiancheng had been a Venerable and the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, he knew that immortal Holy Lands like this had terrifying reserves and might even have sealed ancient Sages. Therefore, he didn¡¯t dare to attack them directly to save the Sage-level demon of the ancient race. Instead, he had snuck into the Holy Land and waited for an opportunity to strike. However, it was also because of this that he was trapped in the seal array left behind by the Sage ancestor and was unable to leave. Only now had he successfully escaped. With that, Qin Chen understood all the causes and consequences! Looking at the Kings of the various forces being trapped and the unwilling expression of the Taiyi Holy Lord, Qin Chen had a hesitant expression. In the end, he sighed, ¡°Never mind, never mind. This is my sect after all. It had been quite nice to me and my senior brother. Plus, there are many treasure lands here where I can get good rewards by checking in. I can¡¯t let this Demonic Venerable destroy it.¡± ¡°Although he¡¯s a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, he¡¯s been trapped for 3000 years. He¡¯s most definitely not as powerful as he was before. Moreover, he¡¯s just a puppet of the demonic path. He¡¯s truly courting death to dare to wreak havoc!¡± A cold expression appeared on his face. With that, a long spear appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It was very ordinary, but at this moment, it was filled with endless divine power and was thrown out with all his might. Boom! The long spear instantly shattered the void and crossed thousands of miles in an instant, entering the area enveloped by the demonic might. Chapter 24 - Killing the Demon King with a Lift of the Hand Chapter 24 Killing the Demon King with a Lift of the Hand The Emperor relic. In the great Emperor¡¯s palace, pitch-black demonic energy covered every corner of Heaven and Earth, trying to shroud the entire Taiyi Holy Land under it. Balls of bright divine light shone in the demonic energy like suns but were constantly dimming. The divine lights were the efforts of the many Kings in doing their best to resist the corrosion of the demonic energy and the attack of Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng. However, Yang Tiancheng was too strong. He was a Demonic Venerable who had dominated the world and was able to compete with the Venerables of the Southern Desolate Land back then. Even though he had been trapped for 3000 years and lost a lot of his vitality, he was still far stronger than these Kings. It was an all-around suppression in terms of realms! ¡°Obediently become my blood food, and you won¡¯t suffer much,¡± Yang Tiancheng said as he looked coldly at the struggling Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords. In his eyes, although these Kings were strong, how could they withstand the attacks of a Demonic Venerable like him? They would be exhausted sooner or later and completely devoured. It was just that the Kings who had used up too much divine power would not be as delicious. Suddenly, Yang Tiancheng¡¯s brows furrowed as he had an unusual premonition. He looked up and saw a golden light suddenly pierce into the demonic realm that formed from the shrouding demonic energy. This golden light contained the unbelievably pure yang energy of the great path aura. Like the appearance of the sun, it pierced through the demonic fog, burned it, and easily broke through the layers. One had to know that this was the demonic fog of a Bahuang Realm Venerable. It contained the power of a Venerable. Even a Qiyao Realm King would be corroded after some time. Yet, in front of this pure yang aura, the demonic fog was as thin as paper and easily penetrated. Almost in the next moment, the purest yang aura appeared in front of him. He focused his eyes and saw that it was a long spear. It was shining with a bright golden light and arrived before the Demonic Venerable in the blink of an eye. ¡°A long spear!?¡± The Demonic Venerable subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but his expression quickly changed because his palm was easily penetrated by the spear. The long spear pierced through his palm and reached the area between his eyebrows as if it was going to penetrate his head. ¡°Shit!¡± For the first time since his reappearance, the Demonic Venerable¡¯s expression changed drastically. He immediately retreated, but immediately realized that he couldn¡¯t dodge it. The spear was too fast. It was so fast that even a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm couldn¡¯t react in time. ¡°Immortal demonic shield!¡± The Demonic Venerable immediately burned the power of his primordial spirit, and endless demonic energy gathered in an instant, forming a demonic shield between his eyebrows. Dense blood-red demonic patterns were on the demonic shield, making it look very strange and terrifying. They were not ordinary demonic patterns. Boom! However, the Demonic Venerable didn¡¯t expect that the long spear would pierce through the demonic shield so easily as if it was just a thin piece of paper. Pierce! Almost at the same time, the long spear pierced through the Demonic Venerable¡¯s forehead and disappeared in the air. The spear was made of ordinary materials. It could no longer withstand Qin Chen¡¯s power and just dissolved into nothingness. However, the purest yang power had completely penetrated the Demonic Venerable, annihilating him and turning him into nothingness. ¡°This, it¡¯s impossible!¡± The moment the Demonic Venerable was destroyed, he mumbled to himself. He still couldn¡¯t believe what was happening before his eyes. How was this possible? This scene was exactly the same as when Zhao Yi was killed! The moment the Demonic Venerable was annihilated, the demonic energy that shrouded the Holy Land of Taiyi was torn apart by the purest yang aura and dissolved. The struggling Kings were dumbfounded as they watched on. They had been struggling on the brink of death and had almost unleashed all the reserves their Holy Lands had. They had never thought that the demon would suddenly be killed. This moment was something that no one had expected. ¡°No, someone has made a move. He has killed the Demonic Venerable!¡± An Imperial Lord said. He had seen the golden light just now. It was fast, but he was sure that it was an external force that killed the Demonic Venerable. This made all the Kings shocked. Just how powerful was the person to be able to kill a Demonic Venerable in the blink of an eye? At the very least, the other party should also be a King of the Bahuang Realm, and most likely a great Venerable. Otherwise, how could he have killed a Demonic Venerable? This made them tremble. They didn¡¯t expect that there would be a great senior in the dark. The other party had been hiding in the dark all this time, and now that he saw that they were in danger, he took action. They couldn¡¯t help but cup their fists and bow in the direction of the golden light, ¡°Thank you for saving us, senior!¡± In the world of cultivation, the strong were respected, and the accomplished were the teachers. To have such great power, the other party must be a senior who had cultivated for many years. In the distance, Qin Chen¡¯s figure was ethereal, as if he did not belong to the five elements and could not be discovered. He didn¡¯t appear. His figure was perfectly integrated with Heaven and Earth, making it difficult for outsiders to discover his traces. He didn¡¯t come out either and only said, ¡°Even though Yang Tiancheng is dead, he¡¯s just a puppet of the ancient race Demon King. The real Demon King hasn¡¯t been completely exterminated yet. You¡¯d better leave immediately. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be so easy to kill him when his true body appears later.¡± That¡¯s right. The Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng was only a puppet of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race who was sealed in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Just like Zhao Yi, he had long since been demonized, completely submitting himself to that Demon King Otherwise, the Demon King was a terrifying existence comparable to the ancient Sages. How could he have been killed by Qin Chen in one strike? Hearing this, all the Kings quickly retreated with fearful expressions, not daring to approach the great Emperor¡¯s palace. A Demon King that could be sealed by an ancient Sage must be at least at the Sage-level. Otherwise, if it was only at the Venerable level, the ancient Sages would¡¯ve just killed it. How would they leave such a disaster behind and bring misfortune to the later generations? Roar! All of a sudden, a terrifying roar came from the great Emperor¡¯s palace. The roar shattered Heaven and Earth, and the two Kings who were slightly closer exploded in the air, their bodies turning into pieces. The other Kings were also affected by the shockwaves, and they all vomited blood. Their faces were pale as they looked into the great Emperor¡¯s palace in horror. Sure enough, just as the senior had said, the real Demonic Venerable had not been killed yet. What had been killed just now was only a Venerable puppet. If it wasn¡¯t for the senior¡¯s timely warning, they would have ended up like the two Kings if they had been just a little closer. They would have been turned into ashes by the Demonic Venerable¡¯s roar. Boom, boom! Even more demonic energy gushed out of the great Emperor¡¯s palace, covering the sky. It was even more terrifying than before. In the sky, a terrifying Demon King¡¯s figure condensed, holding a terrifying demonic ax. From afar, he looked coldly at the many Kings present and sneered, ¡°All of you are my blood food, I can¡¯t just let you leave.¡± He licked his lips, looking extremely blood-thirsty. His eyes were filled with endless blood light as he looked at the crowd coldly. The Kings in front of him were all top-tier delicacies. ¡°However¨C¡± Saying this, the Demon King¡¯s eyes looked in a direction far away in the sky, ¡°To be able to kill one of my Venerable puppets, your blood food must be much more delicious.¡± Boom! With that, the Demon King¡¯s figure disappeared, and with overwhelming demonic energy, he crossed thousands of miles like lightning, arriving at a cliff in the distance. What greeted him was a middle-aged handyman in his early 30s holding a broom. The Demon King¡¯s fierce face revealed a touch of astonishment, ¡°You¡¯re the one who destroyed my Venerable puppet?¡± Chapter 25 - Check-in and Receive "Resurrection Technique" Chapter 25 Check-in and Receive ¡°Resurrection Technique¡± No matter how the Demon King looked at the other party, he simply couldn¡¯t see how a mere handyman could have such ability. Light flashed, and Qin Chen returned to his original appearance. A young and handsome man in his twenties appeared. Although he was still wearing a green robe, his temperament was completely different. Qin Chen looked at the Demon King calmly and said, ¡°Demon King of the ten thousand ancient races, isn¡¯t it better for you to continue sealing yourself and wait for the other races to reappear in the world later? Why did you have to attack now and mess up the Taiyi Holy Land? Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to make a move against you. Yet, you insisted on destroying the Taiyi Holy Land, so I had no choice but to make a move. Since your body that contains the demonic thought is here, I¡¯m even more determined to kill you!¡± He just wanted to quietly check in all over the Taiyi Holy Land. It would be best if he could keep checking in till he reached the ancient great emperor level before showing himself in the world. Then, there wouldn¡¯t be much danger that could pose a risk to him. He never expected that this damn Demon King would suddenly appear and want to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land. If the Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed, how could he continue to check in and obtain endless resources and treasures in the future? The Demon King laughed viciously, ¡°Although you are very strong, the feeling you give me is that you have at most just advanced into the Venerable level. My body that contains the demonic thought is much stronger than the Venerable puppet just now. Although appearing like is quite damaging to me, as long as I devour your flesh and primordial spirit as food, it is enough to make up for all this and even help me to reappear earlier!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King made his move. Boundless demonic energy blotted out the sky and covered the earth, drowning space. It was extremely terrifying. However, Qin Chen simply circulated his blood energy. In an instant, endless golden blood energy of the purest yang poured out as if a divine furnace had been flipped over, burning all the demonic energy in Heaven and Earth till nothing was left. The terrifying blood energy gave the Demon King a terrifying suppression. ¡°You¡­¡± The Demon King¡¯s eyes widened in shock, ¡°Your blood energy is very strong with this kind of physique. It¡¯s comparable to the ancient Princes!¡± ¡°There¡¯s more!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s blood energy was powerful, but his strength was even more powerful. He used the Taiyi Holy Technique he had obtained from the Holy Lord¡¯s mountain. With that, a huge bell suddenly appeared between Heaven and Earth. It was formed by the law of the great path. The bell chimed and fell from the sky, bombarding the Demon King with endless divine might. The demonic energy was burned and then extinguished. Qin Chen even used his strongest divine technique to kill the Demon King. In the end, the Demon King was killed. He was annihilated and left no trace behind. It was a shocking scene. Psst! The Demon King¡¯s second body that contained the demonic thought exploded and turned into ashes, gone just like that. Just seconds before his death, the Demon King looked meaningfully at Qin Chen and said, ¡°To think that you¡¯d be this strong! Do you have the human great Emperor¡¯s strongest physique? But it won¡¯t be long. In a few years, my reappearance will be complete. At that time, even if you become a Sage, you won¡¯t be my match.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Qin Chen looked at him indifferently and said, ¡°When the time comes, I¡¯ll just continue to suppress you!¡± At this point, the storm of the demonic path had completely come to an end. In the Taiyi Holy Land, the Kings knelt and bowed in the direction the demonic thought had left, ¡°Greetings, senior!¡± Although they were curious about who the other party was, he must be a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm since he could kill the Demonic Venerable. He was not someone they could come into contact with. At the very least, the various Holy Lands and aristocratic families did not have a Venerable known to the public. Qin Chen¡¯s figure was blurry and surrounded by various path laws, making it impossible to see his true face. He sighed, ¡°All of you should leave. You¡¯ve tried to fight for the opportunities in the Taiyi Holy Land, but you know what the results were. A chance has been given to all of you, but none of you succeeded. It¡¯s time for you to leave.¡± ¡°But,¡± One of the Kings wanted to speak. They had paid a heavy price for this expedition. Almost every faction had a King killed, so how could they leave without any gains? The Holy Lord of the faction that the King came from stood up and stopped him from continuing. He said, ¡°We will naturally obey senior¡¯s words. However, the Demon King has already been annihilated, so there shouldn¡¯t be much danger. Please allow us to continue exploring.¡± The other Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords all had the same wish. This was a great Emperor¡¯s palace, and there were countless divine treasures hidden here. Now that King-level experts from their factions had died, they were truly unwilling to leave just like this. Although the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were somewhat resentful, there was nothing they could do. They couldn¡¯t overturn the circumstances. Hearing this, Qin Chen snorted coldly from the horizon. His voice was like a thunderclap that resounded through the entire Taiyi Holy Land, ¡°Although I¡¯ve killed the Demon King twice, it was only his clone. If you continue, you¡¯ll probably end up provoking the Demon King¡¯s true body. I don¡¯t care what happens to you, but if you cause trouble for the Taiyi Holy Land, don¡¯t blame me for being merciless. I¡¯ll go to straight the factions behind you.¡± Towards the end, his words were filled with coldness, causing the expressions of all the Kings to change. Putting aside the fact of the great Emperor¡¯s palace had the Demon King himself, a true ancient Sage-level existence who possessed unfathomable divine might. It was rumored that a strand of a Sage¡¯s hair could kill a King, truly terrifying Even the mysterious old senior himself was a huge threat. The arrival of a peerless Venerable posed a great threat to any force. An enemy like that could only be solved by unleashing the corresponding reserves. Who would dare to ignore the senior¡¯s threats? Although the various Kings were unwilling, they didn¡¯t dare to offend such a Venerable. Thus, they had no choice but to cup their fists in the direction of their senior before turning around and leaving. The experts from the Taiyi Holy Land were relieved, but they were also worried when they saw the great Emperor¡¯s palace that had appeared. They didn¡¯t have the ability to seal it. Moreover, the great Emperor¡¯s palace had appeared in the Holy Land. It would not be long before the major forces could not wait and come again. When they did, it would not probably not only be Kings in their party, but even their reserves might come as well. The Taiyi Holy Land couldn¡¯t withstand such a matter. The Taiyi Holy Lord looked in that direction and said, ¡°Senior, please suppress the great Emperor¡¯s palace!¡± Looking at the great Emperor¡¯s palace, Qin Chen¡¯s figure flashed and appeared in front of the palace with extreme speed. Before anyone could see who the senior was, Qin Chen had already entered the great Emperor¡¯s palace. He was now at the peak of level nine in the Qiyao Realm, able to seek his part and become a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm at any time. In terms of combat power, he was on par with a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, and not the ordinary ones at that. He could kill ordinary Venerables at will. Furthermore, the quasi-emperor grade weapon, the Desolate Divine Halberd, was in his hands, so he was fearless. (Strong divinity has been detected in this place. Would you like to check in here?] The system¡¯s cold voice rang out in his mind. Qin Chen checked in decisively. [Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the ¡°Resurrection Technique¡± as a check-in reward!] Chapter 26 - Senior, Please Become the Elder King Chapter 26 Senior, Please Become the Elder King [Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the ¡°Resurrection Technique¡± as a check-in reward!) Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. The Resurrection Technique was known as the undying celestial technique. Even if there was only a drop of blood left, one could be resurrected Qin Chen immediately began to cultivate. With his cultivation of the half-step Bahuang Realm, he quickly succeeded and activated the Resurrection Technique. His muscles glowed with endless multicolored light, and strands of hair and broken bones were being expelled from his body. In his realm, his muscles were flawless and he was already perfect, but the Resurrection Technique could raise his body to a higher and more perfect level. Qin Chen felt that his body had become stronger and more complete. The blood energy in his body was endless, like a giant dragon lying dormant. It was amazing. He could take the crucial step at any time to become a true Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Of course, he didn¡¯t. He just walked around the great Emperor¡¯s palace. The palace was grand and chaos energy filled the air. There were also wisps of shocking Emperor might that were still circulating, making him exclaim in admiration. He wondered which ancient great Emperor had left this palace behind. In the past, even the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left behind corresponding footprints here. Anything left behind by an ancient great Emperor could become a supreme treasure and would cause countless experts in the world to go crazy over it. Qin Chen also wanted to obtain a supreme treasure in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. It would be great if he could get an emperor-grade weapon or extreme celestial material. Soon, he had finished walking around and realized that there were not many divine treasures left in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Most of the halls had been cleared out and only a few could be found in the halls at the core of the palace. However, they were within Emperor arrays. After countless years, even the Emperor arrays had been worn down by time, becoming damaged. However, let alone the current Qin Chen, even if he was ten times stronger, he would not dare to venture into those arrays. If an Emperor array was triggered, it would be enough to turn him into ashes, leaving nothing behind. In the place, he also found the place where the Sage-level Demon King of the ten thousand ancient races was sealed. It was in the core of a hall that was covered with dense Sage inscriptions. It had been set up by the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Sage ancestor, the ancient Sage Tai Yun. A crystal the size of an adult man floated in there. A terrifying ancient race creature with giant horns and a fiendish expression was sealed within. It faintly exuded a terrifying aura, much more terrifying than Yang Tiancheng A Sage-level Demon King was extremely terrifying. However, the Demon King had not completely awakened and was trapped in the Sage-level array. There was a gap in the Sage-level array patterns, and there were traces of blood. It was the same as Yang Tiancheng¡¯s, so it was naturally left behind by him. Qin Chen looked at the sealed ancient race Sage-level Demon King. He wanted to kill the other party here and now, but he didn¡¯t do so in the end. Firstly, the palace had incomplete Emperor arrays and Sage-level array patterns. Even if he wanted to enter, it would be difficult and he might even be trapped inside. The loss would be greater than his gains. Secondly, he was still not a true Venerable. Even if he had the quasi-emperor grade weapon ¡°Taihuang¡±, it was still very risky for him to face a true ancient Sage. Qin Chen had always been very steady, and the Sage-level Demon King was still in slumber anyway. The other party could only awaken once or twice, and it was estimated that it would take another twenty to thirty years for him to completely awaken. In twenty-three years, Qin Chen was confident that he could become a Jiutian Realm Sage. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to deal with the Sage-level Demon King then? After leaving the great Emperor¡¯s palace, Qin Chen sealed the palace and buried it deep underground. He cast a regretful glance at the palace. It was a pity that with his current cultivation base, he was unable to take it for himself. Now that this palace that was built by an ancient great Emperor had appeared, even a brick from it could smash someone to death. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others approached Qin Chen, wanting to see his true identity. Unfortunately, he was covered by various path laws, so even a King couldn¡¯t see clearly, let alone the Taiyi Holy Lord, who hadn¡¯t reached that level yet. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°May I ask who senior is?¡± The other Holy Land elders looked over, and Ling Ran was naturally one of them. She had a faint feeling in her heart that the person before them was the mysterious expert who had given her the divine medicine and the ¡°Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra¡±. Qin Chen¡¯s figure was blurry and could not be seen clearly. He stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Land, so there¡¯s no need to mention it.¡± Even now, Qin Chen was still unwilling to reveal his true identity. He called himself an ¡°ordinary disciple¡± to hide his true identity. The voice that came from the path law was neither old nor young, and it was difficult to tell if the person was male or female. The other party seemed mysterious, but this answer made people feel astonished. An ordinary disciple of the Holy Land? Since when did the Taiyi Holy Land have such a disciple with such unfathomable cultivation? All the major Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and dynasties in the world would wish to have such a disciple. The Holy Lord and the other elders all thought that Qin Chen just didn¡¯t want to say his true identity. They knew that some seniors were used to being indifferent to fame and fortune, refusing to fight for worldly fame and fortune. The person before them was probably one of those seniors. Subconsciously, the Holy Lord and the others still regarded Qin Chen as an old senior. The Holy Lord immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, ¡°Senior¡¯s indifference to fame and fortune has earned the respect of us juniors. Thanks to your appearance today, the Taiyi Holy Land was spared from disaster. I have a request. Senior, please stay in the Holy Land and take on the position of the Holy Lord!¡± Many people were shocked when they heard this. They didn¡¯t expect the Taiyi Holy Lord to give up the position of the Holy Lord to this mysterious senior. It had to be said that this was really a bold move. The position of the Holy Lord was the highest in the Taiyi Holy Land. Even though the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, it was still an immortal Holy Land. It had unfathomable reserves, which made countless people fight for the position. Now, to think the Taiyi Holy Lord was willing to give it up. Only a bold and magnanimous person could do that. However, those who understood the Holy Land¡¯s situation all knew that the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s decision was very wise. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. If a Venerable became the Holy Lord, they might be able to break the current situation and lead the Taiyi Holy Land to its revival. Even if they couldn¡¯t, if news of a Venerable being the Holy Lord got out, the other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties would have to think twice before targeting the Taiyi Holy Land, even if there was an Emperor relic in it. After all, not everyone was willing to offend a Venerable. Qin Chen was also slightly taken aback. He didn¡¯t expect that The Taiyi Holy Lord would give up his position. However, he wasn¡¯t tempted by the position of the Holy Lord, which was enough to make countless people in the Holy Land fight to the death, to the point even Zhao Yi was demonized. He shook his head and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m used to being free. You¡¯ve been the Holy Lord for so many years and have been responsible for the Holy Land, so you¡¯re quite suitable for the position. Or, you can choose another capable person.¡± Although they knew that it was unlikely for Qin Chen to become the Holy Lord, the elders were still disappointed to hear his refusal. ¡°Since senior doesn¡¯t want to be the Holy Lord, then please be the Elder King,¡± The Holy Lord said, ¡°The Elder King has power no less than the Holy Lord¡¯s, and can even impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders at important times. On the other hand, you wouldn¡¯t have to deal with major and complicated affairs while still receiving many offerings from the Holy Land.¡± Chapter 27 - The Elder King Chapter 27 The Elder King The Supreme Elders were in an uproar. The Holy Land had not set up an Elder King for many years because the power of this position was too high, even higher than the Holy Lord. The Elder King could impeach the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elder, making him the truly most powerful person in the Holy Land. Of course, on the other hand, due to the Elder King¡¯s high authority, it required the Holy Lord and Supreme Elders to vote together. Only if more than 80% of the people agreed could one become the Elder King. However, it was easier said than done to become the Elder King. Since the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s declined, there had never been an Elder King. Although there were related positions, no one had been recognized to take on the position. Now that the Holy Lord had suggested for Qin Chen to become the Elder King, although the Supreme Elders were shocked, they soon felt it was feasible. Qin Chen¡¯s strength and virtue were well-recognized by everyone. If he were to take on the position of Elder King, no one would object. ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I agree!¡± One by one, the Supreme Elders expressed their approval. Qin Chen had saved the Taiyi Holy Land from danger several times over the years, thus gaining the high approval of the higher-ups. Qin Chen was also tempted, not only because he did not have to deal with many complicated affairs after becoming an Elder King, but more importantly, he would have power above the Holy Lord. In other words, he could enter the various places in the Taiyi Holy Land, including some forbidden areas that he could not enter before. With that, he could unlock more places and check in to get more treasures. This was exactly what Qin Chen wanted. ¡°Alright!¡± He nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll be the Elder King!¡± With that, Qin Chen, a sweeping handyman, became the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land! Hearing this, the Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were all pleasantly surprised. A Venerable becoming the Holy Land¡¯s Elder King was equivalent to the Taiyi Holy Land having a Venerable. From now on, no one would dare to bully the Taiyi Holy Land. In the face of an unparalleled Venerable, no matter who it was, be it the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, or the ancient dynasties, they would have to think twice before making a move against the Holy Land. ¡°This is a jade token I made. If something happens to the Taiyi Holy Land, I¡¯ll be the first to know,¡± After Qin Chen received the Elder King¡¯s token, he threw a jade token to the Holy Lord and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. His movements were silent and untraceable. The Holy Lord and the others sighed. In the end, they still didn¡¯t know the true identity of this new Elder King. Although they were extremely curious about Qin Chen¡¯s identity, it was not appropriate for them to ask him about it. They could see that this Elder King was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not like to be disturbed. Ling Ran stared at Qin Chen¡¯s departing figure. He looked almost the same as the one she saw that night. She was even more convinced that this old senior was the expert who had given her the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and the divine medicine. ila After becoming the Elder King, Qin Chen did not feel much excitement. After all, he could even refuse the position of the Holy Lord. To him, if not for the fact that the Elder King had power that was no less than that of the Holy Lord which would allow him to walk around the forbidden lands of the Taiyi Holy Land, he would not even bother with this status. In the end, he still had no intention of revealing his true identity. Qin Chen knew that once his identity was revealed, he would attract the attention of the world. Just think about it. A handyman in a Holy Land who was supposed to only have a mortal body and no cultivation became a top figure who could kill a Demonic Venerable in just 30 years. Many people even thought that he was a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. It would definitely attract attention. On top of that, he had deduced that the ten thousand ancient races would soon reappear. The ten thousand ancient races had a group of Sages, Sage Kings, and even Supreme Sages who were above the Bahuang Realm. Most of the ancient races within the ten thousand ancient races did not wish for the human race to have a prodigy, especially someone with the Chaotic Holy Body like him because he could achieve reached a high cultivation realm in a very short time. If he was targeted by the ten thousand ancient races, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen had to continue to hide and not let anyone know his true identity. However, there were still some benefits to being the Elder King. He had higher authority than the Holy Lord. Before long, news of the Taiyi Holy Land spread all over the world. The entire Canglan Continent knew that the declining Taiyi Holy Land had a great Emperor¡¯s palace. Moreover, a terrifying Demon King of the Bahuang Realm had appeared, killing many Kings of the major forces and causing heavy casualties. The most shocking news was that in the declining Taiyi Holy Land, there was a powerful Venerable. It was his appearance that stopped the Demon King from killing the experts of all the major forces and saved the Taiyi Holy Land. All of a sudden, it caused a great commotion, and many people turned their eyes to the Taiyi Holy Land. In the current world, a King at the Qiyao Realm could be said to be the world¡¯s top battle prowess. They dominated the world and found it difficult to even find an opponent. As such, a Venerable who stood in the Bahuang Realm could rule the world, such as the great Venerable of the Nangong aristocratic family. Without a Sage in this world, who could compete with a Venerable?! Moreover, there was news that the Taiyi Holy Land had appointed the Venerable as the Elder King of the Holy Land. His status was extremely noble, putting the Venerable on the surface of the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s combat prowess. Now, with a Venerable, even if the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, no one would dare to bully them. The world sighed. Not only did the declining Taiyi Holy Land have a Holy Daughter with the Zixia Body, but now it also had a Venerable. This was a sign of its revival. Qin Chen was not aware of the happenings in the outside world. After he obtained the status of Elder King, he immediately went to the ancestral land of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Sages¡¯ Peak. The Sages¡¯ Peak was the burial grounds of the ancient Sages of the Taiyi Holy Land. In the past, when the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak, Sages emerged one after another, generation after generation, never-ending. It was an extremely glorious period. At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land was at its peak. It dared to challenge the Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties that had the inheritance of great emperors while not being at a disadvantage. The Sages¡¯ Peak was a magnificent mountain where many of the Sage ancestors were buried. as a Here, Qin Chen felt an extremely strong divinity. The system also prompted him, so he checked in. [Congratulations, you have obtained the Sun Sage Robe as a reward!) With that, a Sage Robe appeared in the system space. It was a holy weapon that seemed to be made of gold and was engraved with sage inscriptions. Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. A holy weapon was Sage¡¯s weapon. A holy garment was especially precious because it could protect the whole body and resist many attacks. Kacha! The Sage Robe rushed out of the system space and was equipped on Qin Chen¡¯s body. After a few clanks, it disappeared. Wearing such a Sage Robe, one could withstand a Sage¡¯s attack. It was a life-saving weapon. Of course, Qin Chen could not let the Sage Robe be exposed all the time. Thus, the Sage Robe was put in his glabella and was worn on his tiny primordial spirit to protect his primordial spirit. As expected of the Sages¡¯ Peak where the Sages of past generations were buried. The divinity was indeed powerful. To think he would be rewarded with a holy weapon the first time he checked in, great! Chapter 28 - Visitor From the Great Qin Dynasty Chapter 28 Visitor From the Great Qin Dynasty Time passed. Ever since the Taiyi Holy Land had a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm, its status in Canglan Continent had risen. In the cultivation world, the strong were respected. No matter how much the Taiyi Holy Land had declined, the appearance of a Venerable would still be a terrifying deterrent. All forces would be fearful to make a move against them. At the same time, all the forces wanted to be on good terms with the Taiyi Holy Land. They wanted to be friends on equal footing, not as high and mighty as they had been when they first arrived. Venerables were high above Kings, and great Venerables could even be invincible for 4000 to 5000 years. In this era where Sages didn¡¯t exist, they were invincible. [Congratulations, you have obtained the ¡°Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger¡± as a reward!] On this day, Qin Chen checked in at the great Emperor¡¯s palace. After all, it was a palace left behind by an ancient great Emperor, so it was naturally full of divinity. See, he had obtained the ¡°Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger¡± right after checking in. According to the system¡¯s introduction, the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. In the Canglan Continent, besides the most common grades of supernormal knowledge at the heaven, earth, black, and yellow grades, there were also the king, venerable, sage, divine, and emperor grades. The supernormal knowledge of the heaven, earth, black, and yellow grades were only for cultivators below the Qiyao Realm. After reaching the Qiyao Realm, one would master even more powerful supernormal knowledge and have the ability to create powerful ones that belonged to oneself. The Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge created by an ancient great emperor. Qin Chen was quite satisfied with this, though he wasn¡¯t very excited. After 30 years of having the check-in system, he had already checked in and obtained no less than 10 emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, such as the Moving Secret Technique and the Resurrection Technique. That being said, it was better to have the supernormal knowledge of this grade than not. His cultivation had also been growing steadily, but three years after the incident at the Emperor relic, he still had not taken the step to become a true Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Although his strength was no weaker than a true Bahuang Realm Venerable and was probably even stronger than an ordinary Venerable, if he wanted to enter the Bahuang Realm, he would have to seek his path. What was to ¡°seek one¡¯s path¡±? It was to ask the heart and break one¡¯s shackles. It was easy to say but difficult to do. In history, countless Kings were trapped at this step and were unable to complete it. Once they tried to seek their path, any carelessness would result in death. ¡°I never thought that I would one day be in a bottleneck and unable to break through,¡± Qin Chen ridiculed himself helplessly. Even the system couldn¡¯t help him with this. However, he was not in a hurry. He had only cultivated for a few years and had already reached the peak of the Qiyao Realm. It was quite appropriate to stop occasionally. Perhaps he could find a suitable opportunity. ¡°If I can¡¯t break through, then I should just continue sweeping the floor. Perhaps I¡¯ll get something good from checking in,¡± Qin Chen did not persist. He left his residence and headed to the Taiyi Main Hall to sweep the floor. The Taiyi Main Hall was a good place. Although the divinity there had been exhausted and he could not continue to check in, there was an ancient hall next to it that contained rich divinity. He had also obtained many good things from checking in there over the years. Sav When he arrived at the Taiyi Main Hall, he saw a few Supreme Elders walking out. They rose into the air and rushed into the distance, as if they had something urgent to attend to. Qin Chen could not help but be taken aback. What had happened? Why were the Supreme Elders in such a hurry? An official disciple walked past him while exclaiming, ¡°Big news, big news! Honored guests from the Great Qin Dynasty have paid a visit to the Taiyi Holy Land!¡± ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty?¡±. ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty is one of the four immortal dynasties of the Central Province. Why did they suddenly come to visit the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal? Ever since the Taiyi Holy Land gained the Venerable Elder King, our status has been rising steadily. The other Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties no longer dare to look down on us. I¡¯m afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s distinguished guests have come to befriend us as well.¡± ¡°Who from the Great Qin Dynasty has come? It¡¯s said that an extremely powerful Imperial Prince and a Prince are coming. I¡¯ve heard that the prince is the 9th Prince, Qin Feng!¡± ¡°The 9th Prince Qin Feng! I¡¯ve heard that he¡¯s the Prince with the most talent in cultivation among the many Princes and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty. He¡¯s about the same age as us, but he¡¯s already in the Qiyao Realm and can be considered a King!¡± ¡°I heard that the 9th Prince is extremely talented and has a high chance of becoming the next emperor. But why is he here? Is he here for our Holy Daughter?¡± The Holy Land disciples discussed animatedly among themselves. When they talked about the 9th Prince, even though they were proud and talented disciples, they still showed respect and admiration. The Qiyao Realm was a realm that they could only hope to reach in their entire lives. The 9th Prince, Qin Feng, was already a King of the Qiyao Realm. He had the right to be on equal footing with the Lords of the various Holy Lands and families. ¡°8th imperial uncle and 9th brother are here?¡± Outside the palace, Qin Chen, who was sweeping, was slightly stunned. He looked at the main entrance of the Taiyi Holy Land. At this moment, the other disciples finally noticed the handyman, Qin Chen. They were slightly stunned as they recalled that he was the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, he had been banished from the royal family and was an abandoned Prince. They had, after all, been cultivating for decades and had some experience, so when they looked at Qin Chen, they no longer looked at him with ridicule, but with pity. If this useless Prince who was reduced to being a mere handyman saw his 9th brother, who was already on the same level as the various Holy Lords and Family Lords, he would probably be in despair. Not long after, the Supreme Elders returned with a group of noble-looking people around them. They were the guests from the Great Qin Dynasty. The person leading the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s people was the 8th Imperial Prince, a King of the royal family. The 8th Imperial Prince was dressed in a robe stitched with dragons and wore a golden crown. He walked majestically. Behind him was a group of royal descendants of the Great Qin Dynasty who were all noble and awe-inspiring One of them was the 9th Prince, Qin Feng. As one of the most powerful immortal inheritances in the world with the inheritance of an ancient great emperor, the visit of the immortal dynasty to the Taiyi Holy Land naturally shocked everyone. Holy Lord Taiyi led the Holy Daughter Ling Ran and the Holy Son Lu Feng, as well as a group of elders out of the main hall to welcome the guests. He cupped his fists at the 8th Prince and laughed, ¡°So it¡¯s the 8th Prince and the other Princes and Princesses who have come to visit. I¡¯m sorry for not welcoming you.¡± He put himself on equal footing with his words, not lowering his head as he did when he faced the various Kings. It wasn¡¯t just because the current Taiyi Holy Land was extraordinary with a Bahuang Realm Venerable and was thus full of confidence. It was also because, over the years, the Taiyi Holy Lord had successfully broken through and become a true Qiyao Realm King. Therefore, as the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan did not come out to welcome them. Instead, he waited for the 8th Prince and the others in the main hall of the Taiyi Holy Land. It was already a very high standard of welcoming the guests by ordering the Supreme Elders to welcome them. The 8th Prince was tall and strong, and he looked very dignified. He cupped his fists at the Taiyi Holy Land and laughed, ¡°Congratulations on your breakthrough, brother Lu. The Taiyi Holy Land has regained its former glory!¡± ¡°You must be joking, 8th Prince,¡± Lu Xuan shook his head, ¡°The Taivi Holy Land is still the same.¡± The 8th Prince¡¯s gaze fell on Holy Daughter Ling Ran, who was standing next to the Taiyi Holy Lord. He looked surprised and praised, ¡°So this is the Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land? She¡¯s truly a talent. At such a young age, she¡¯s already at the Qiyao Realm.¡± Indeed, some time ago, Ling Ran had successfully broken through to the Qiyao Realm and became the second King of the Qiyao Realm in the Taiyi Holy Land after the Holy Lord Lu Xuan. Of course, that was excluding the mysterious Elder King, Qin Chen. When the Great Qin Dynasty visited the Holy Land of Taiyi, they were naturally welcomed with high standards and were welcomed into the Taiyi Main Hall. Naturally, they could not avoid seeing Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor beside the main hall. Chapter 29 - A Sincere Request to Visit the Elder King Chapter 29 A Sincere Request to Visit the Elder King Although Qin Chen looked like he was in his forties or fifties, they still recognized him. ¡°Qin Chen?¡± were Some of the royal family members were shocked, then frowned. They looked at Qin Chen with disgust and disdain. They did not see him as the 17th Prince. On the contrary, they saw him as just an abandoned son of the royal family. ¡°17th brother!¡± The 9th Prince was surprised, but he was soon overjoyed. This time, he had also planned to meet Qin Chen. ¡°The 17th Prince who was expelled from the royal family?¡± The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at Qin Chen. The 17th Prince who was from a younger generation now looked even older than him, an uncle who had lived for thousands of years. He could not help but frown. He immediately looked away and did not look at Qin Chen again, leading the royal family¡¯s descendants and walking straight ahead. Royalties were heartless, much less those of an immortal divine dynasty. Back then, the family of Qin Chen¡¯s mother had been framed by the current Empress. His mother was banished to the cold palace, and Qin Chen, who was judged to be trash with a mortal body, was expelled from the royal family. His status as a Prince was removed, and he was exiled to the Southern Desolate Lands. Looking at the situation now, he was just a handyman of the Taiyi Holy Land. Why would the Great Qin Dynasty acknowledge the current 17th Prince? He was simply beneath their status. The 9th Prince wanted to go forward and talk to Qin Feng, but he was stopped by the 8th Imperial Prince, ¡°Feng¡¯er, as the Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are also a candidate for the Crown Prince. In the future, you may even inherit the imperial power and become the Emperor of the immortal divine dynasty. You must know your place and not get too close to some lowly people. Otherwise, it will only harm you in the future.¡± The ¡°lowly person¡± was naturally Qin Chen. As one of the immortal divine dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty ruled over the Central Province. The Imperial Lord was extremely powerful and controlled an ancient divine dynasty. As such, this position was naturally coveted by countless people, including many Princes and even Princesses. The 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his mother was a powerful figure. Naturally, there were many powerful figures behind the 9th Prince, hoping that he would become the future Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty. If the 9th Prince got too close to the useless 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled by the royal family, he would definitely be attacked by the forces behind the other competitors for the Crown Prince¡¯s position. His situation would not be good. The 9th Prince opened his mouth but didn¡¯t take the step in the end. As he left in a hurry, he looked at Qin Chen apologetically and guiltily. Even though he really wanted to meet his 17th brother, Qin Chen, and have a chat, being in the royal family, he was destined to be unable to act on his own will. There were too many things that he could not do as he liked since so many factors were involved. Qin Chen understood the 9th Prince¡¯s expression and smiled warmly at him. He understood the 9th Prince¡¯s difficulties. At least, the 9th Prince still cared about him and didn¡¯t look down on him just because he was kicked out of the royal family. Qin Chen was already very happy with this thought. This scene was also seen by many elders and disciples nearby. They felt pity for Qin Chen, the abandoned Prince. After all, they had just witnessed how those from the Great Qin Dynasty didn¡¯t even want to acknowledge him. Ling Ran was the last person to step into Taiyi Main Hall. When she passed by Qin Chen, she paused for a moment and said, ¡°If you soar one day, they will welcome you warmly.¡± Qin Chen was slightly taken aback. Ling Ran cared for him as well. He lowered his head and smiled. This was indeed true. If he had soared into the sky, the Great Qin Dynasty would not have been so indifferent. If they knew that he was the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, they would even welcome him back to the Great Qin Dynasty with the greatest grandiose. After all, in the eyes of the world, he was a great Venerable of the Bahuang Realm. Who dared to look down on him? Even the immortal divine dynasty wouldn¡¯t dare! Inside the Taiyi Main Hall, the Taiyi Holy Lord, the 8th Imperial Prince, and the others conversed. Laughter could be heard from time to time, and it was clear that they were having a very friendly conversation. After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the 8th Imperial Prince went straight to the point and said, ¡°Brother Lu, I have a presumptuous request.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at the 8th Imperial Prince and the others from the Great Qin Dynasty. As the Holy Lord of a Holy Land, how could he not know what they were up to? However, he still pretended not to know and smiled, ¡°I wonder what presumptuous request that is?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng and that his cultivation is unparalleled,¡± The 8th Imperial Prince said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m here to pay a visit to the Elder King. I wonder if brother Lu is willing to invite the Elder King on my behalf for a chat.¡± The rest of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s people also looked at The Taiyi Holy Lord with burning eyes. In reality, the main purpose of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s visit to the Taiyi Holy Land was to visit the mysterious Elder King. They hoped to win over the Elder King. The Great Qin Dynasty had always been at its peak and ruled the Central Province together with the other three immortal divine dynasties. However, after ancient times, the world had changed greatly. The great path had disappeared, and the Sages had disappeared as well. In this world, it was rare to even see a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm, which was why Qiyao Realm Kings could become the rulers of top factions. It was the same for the Great Qin Dynasty. Right now, many in the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the 9th Prince was a strong contender for the position of Crown Prince. He had a high chance of becoming the next Imperial Lord and ruling the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, many experts in the imperial family supported the 9th Prince. But at the same time, the 9th Prince wasn¡¯t the only one who was qualified to fight for the position of Crown Prince. There were other Princes and even two Princesses. The factions behind these competitors for the Crown Prince¡¯s position were all extremely powerful. They were not much weaker than the 9th Prince¡¯s faction, and they might even be stronger. Therefore, if the 9th Prince wanted to become the Crown Prince, he needed the support of even more powerful people. In the Great Qin Dynasty, almost all the influential figures had taken their stances. The rest of the influential figures who hadn¡¯t, remained neutral in various aspects. The fact that the many competitors for the position of Crown Prince had not been able to pull them over spoke volumes. The experts within were either roped in or maintained a neutral stance. Now, to increase their competitiveness, they could only rely on external forces. At this time, even if they roped in a few Kings, it wouldn¡¯t be very effective. Thinking of this point, the people from the 9th Prince¡¯s faction wanted to help the 9th Prince rope in a Venerable. If he could get the support of a Venerable, the 9th Prince¡¯s competitiveness would increase, and the other Princes and Princesses would be under a lot of pressure. It was not a lie to say that a Venerable was invincible. The reason why the Nangong family could look down on the entire Southern Desolate Lands and not be afraid of the other Holy Lands and families was not only because they had the inheritance of an ancient Emperor and an extreme emperor weapon, but even more so because they had an invincible great Venerable. Naturally, the Central Province also had great Venerables, such as the famous great Venerable Xue Ye. Even though great Venerable Xue Ye was extremely powerful, his temper was unpredictable. Even if they succeeded in roping in such a great Venerabler, they would inevitably have to pay a terrifying price. Therefore, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Venerable was the best choice. Chapter 30 - Actually, Im the Elder King Chapter 30 Actually, I¡¯m the Elder King Although the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was not as famous as the other Venerables, everyone knew how powerful he was. He had killed the Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng, suppressed the demonic thought of a Sage-level great demon, and forced back the Kings of various Holy Lands and aristocratic families with immortal inheritances. Now, all the major forces in the world had gradually acknowledged the Taiyi Holy Land and even hoped to befriend it because of the Venerable Elder King. There was another important reason. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. If they could offer some benefits and help the Taiyi Holy Land regain its prosperity by paying a certain price, they might be able to get the support of the Elder King. It was for this reason that the 9th Prince¡¯s faction had chosen to come to the Taiyi Holy Land to befriend the Elder King, hoping in roping the other party in to support the 9th Prince. Of course, there was another important reason. When the 9th Prince had been breaking through in the wilderness of the Southern Desolate Lands, he had encountered a Venerable from the Taiyi Holy Land. It was most likely this Elder King. Since the 9th Prince had interacted with the Elder King before, it would be easier to rope him in. ¡°This¡­¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, looked troubled. The Elder King was the highest ranking existence in the Taiyi Holy Land, even above him. He was not someone that outsiders could see just because they wanted to. The same went for even the Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty Moreover, the Elder King had always been elusive. Even the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land had never seen his true face, so the possibility of him appearing was undoubtedly extremely low. Moreover, as the Holy Lord of a Holy Land, he could naturally see through the purpose of the 8th Imperial Prince and the others¡¯ visit. Back then, they had gone to great lengths to make that mysterious Venerable become their Elder King. They could not allow any major problems to occur. Just as they were in a dilemma, the 8th Imperial Prince, who was a figure with a sharp mind, laughed and said, ¡°If you can introduce the Elder King to the Great Qin Dynasty, we will be extremely grateful. In the future, if the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land come to the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty will naturally give them a grand welcome. We can also open up some of the imperial cultivation secret realms for them. Some of these secret realms were left behind by the ancestral great emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, if the 9th Prince ascends the throne one day, I¡¯m sure the Great Qin Dynasty would be more than willing to form an alliance with the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± Hearing this, The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were all tempted. How could they not be tempted by the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s cultivation secret realms? The Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty left behind by a human great Emperor. It must have extraordinary secret realms that did not exist in the outside world. It was an unparalleled temptation for any cultivator. Moreover, there was the promise of an alliance. Although the Taiyi Holy Land was on the verge of revival and many Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties were willing to befriend it, it was all because of the Elder King. What if the Elder King was no longer around one day? After all, the Elder King should at least be three thousand years old to become a Venerable. How many more years could he live? The worries of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others were truly weighing in their hearts. After all, if they did not worry about the future, they would soon encounter problems. They were worried that after the Elder King passed away, the Taiyi Holy Land would return to its original state. Even if the great emperor¡¯s palace was still there, without the Elder King, who could protect the declining Taiyi Holy Land? If they could form an alliance with the Great Qin Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be the best choice as they would be able to obtain the protection of an immortal divine dynasty. With that, even the other factions with immortal inheritances would have to be wary when thinking of making a move against the Taiyi Holy Land. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the other Supreme Elders looked at each other and felt that it was feasible. Just as he was about to respond, the divine bell suddenly rang at the front gates of the Holy Land. That was the divine bell that would only ring when there was an important matter. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders were shocked. They stood up and cupped their fists at the 8th Imperial Prince apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 8th Imperial Prince. We have some matters to attend to, so we¡¯ll have to leave now. Please sit down and enjoy your tea. Please wait for a moment.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± The 8th Imperial Prince said. However, when he looked in the direction that The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others had left, he frowned deeply. He had a bad feeling about this and muttered to himself, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me 3rd brother and the others are here too? This is going to be troublesome!¡± In the Taiyi Main Hall, Qin Chen, who was sweeping the floor, also looked in the direction of the front gates and revealed a strange expression, ¡°Other than 9th brother¡¯s faction, the other factions from the Great Qin Dynasty that are competing for the Crown Prince¡¯s position have also come. They should all be here to obtain the support of the Elder King. It¡¯s just that, if they knew that I¡¯m the Elder King that made them lower their status and come here, I wonder what kind of expression they would have? It should be quite interesting!¡± When The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others arrived at the front gates, they were stunned. This was because the visitors were all from the Great Qin Dynasty. Furthermore, they were the powerful imperial Princes who had come personally. Each of them had a Prince or Princess who exuded an air of nobility behind them, as well as a group of royal family members. ¡°Honored guests, you¡¯ve come from afar. The Taiyi Holy Land is sorry for not welcoming you,¡± Lu Xuan and the group of Supreme Elders were a little shocked, but they still went up to welcome them at once. ¡°Brother Lu must be joking. We have come uninvited, please forgive us,¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince smiled as he spoke. A tall and sturdy Prince walked up from behind him and bowed slightly to The Taiyi Holy Lord, ¡°Junior Qin Zhen greets the seniors.¡± Following that, the other Imperial Princes also stepped forward, each of them followed by a Prince or Princess. All of them bowed and did not dare to be negligent. The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at these Princes and Princesses. He knew why they were here. He immediately ordered the disciples to open the front gates to welcome these important figures of the Great Qin Dynasty ¡°Holy Lord, I¡¯m afraid that the other Imperial Princes have also come for the Elder King,¡± A Supreme Elder sent a voice transmission to the Taiyi Holy Lord. caso ere ¡°That should be the only reason,¡± Lu Xuan sighed. He knew that even though they were all part of the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many factions in the Taiyi Holy Land, let alone the Great Qin Dynasty. The factions there were far more complicated than those in the Taiyi Holy Land. Wasn¡¯t Qin Chen, the handyman who was sweeping outside the main hall, the victim of the internal strife in the Great Qin Dynasty? This is going to be troublesome. At first, the Holy Lord Lu Xuan and the Supreme Elders all thought that the arrival of the 8th Imperial Prince and the 9th Prince would only benefit the Taiyi Holy Land. However, now that the other Princes and Princesses had arrived, they finally understood that things were not as simple as they had imagined. It was very likely that this would involve the internal strife within the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s royal family, which was not something that the Taiyi Holy Land could participate in at the moment. However, since these people from the Great Qin Dynasty were already here, they couldn¡¯t just chase them out. Helplessly, they could only welcome them in as well. Chapter 31 - 17th Brother, Go Back to the Great Qin Dynasty With Me, Your 9th Brother Chapter 31 17th Brother, Go Back to the Great Qin Dynasty With Me, Your 9th Brother In the Taiyi Main Hall, the Holy Lord Lu Xuan had left, but the Holy Daughter Ling Ran was still there. She was already a King, and her status was no less than the Holy Lord¡¯s, but she still turned to serve the 8th Imperial Prince and the others as guests. Since they were both Kings, the 8th Imperial Prince did not dare to go overboard just because he was Ling Ran¡¯s senior. He treated Ling Ran as an equal and praised her for her amazing talent in cultivation. Ling Ran appeared humble and gentle. She treated the 8th Imperial Prince with the courtesy of a junior. She did not treat herself as the 8th Imperial Prince¡¯s equal just because she had become a King, but she did not seem eager to please either. Her attitude made the 8th Imperial Prince even more impressed. She could be said to be a very talented lady. At the same time, he looked at the 9th Prince. If the 9th Prince and Ling Ran could become partners, not only was Ling Ran a very suitable wife candidate, but they would also be able to rope in the Taiyi Holy Land. This would undoubtedly be the same as roping in the Elder King to stand on the 9th Prince¡¯s side. In addition to the power that was already gathered in their faction, it would be like a sure-win ticket in the competition for the Imperial Lord¡¯s position. At this moment, the 8th Imperial Prince smiled and said, ¡°Feng¡¯er, come to the Taiyi Holy Land more often when you have the time. Both you and Holy Daughter Ling Ran have entered the Qiyao Realm, both extraordinary peerless geniuses. Your realms are similar, so you should be closer and spar more in the future. It¡¯ll be beneficial for your common progress.¡± He then looked at Ling Ran and said gently, ¡°Holy Daughter Ling Ran, if you have the time, you can come to the Great Qin Dynasty more often as well. There are many cultivation secret realms in the Great Qin Dynasty. As long as you come, Feng¡¯er will bring you in. There are also ancient sutras left behind by the Sages of the past, and even Emperor relics left behind by our ancestors.¡± Ling Ran¡¯s eyes flickered a little. She naturally understood what the 8th Imperial Prince meant, but she couldn¡¯t just reject him straight out, so she could only say softly, ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, 8th Imperial Prince. If I have the time, I will definitely pay a visit to the Great Qin Dynasty.¡± The 9th Prince, Qin Feng, understood the 8th Imperial Prince¡¯s intentions and just casually agreed. However, he kept looking out of the hall because Qin Chen was there. Then, he found an excuse to leave his seat. At the entrance of the main hall, Qin Chen was sweeping the floor silently. He naturally heard everything that was going on in the hall. He could not help but shake his head and smile. To think the 8th Imperial Prince was trying to be a matchmaker for the 9th Prince and Ling Ran. He knew that Ling Ran was extremely talented, and she was obsessed with cultivation. She did not care about love at all. Moreover, as the future Holy Lord of the Tai Yi Holy Land, Ling Ran couldn¡¯t possibly be the 9th Prince¡¯s wife. The 8th Imperial Prince probably had an unfulfillable idea. At the same time, he was also a little troubled. Quite a few Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses from the Great Qin Dynasty had come all of a sudden, and their target was him, the Elder King. This had already disrupted his peaceful life. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have agreed to become the Elder King as per the Holy Lord Taiyi and the others¡¯ request. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but massage his temples with his fingers, thinking about what he should do later. He was, after all, the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. He couldn¡¯t just ignore the whole matter. At this moment, the 9th Prince suddenly walked out. When he saw that Qin Chen was still there, his face lit up and he warmly greeted him, ¡°17th brother, it¡¯s been a long time since we saw each other!¡± ¡°9th brother,¡± Qin Chen also smiled. Their statuses were worlds apart. At least on the surface, the 9th Prince was already a Qiyao Realm King and a strong contender for the future Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had a high chance of ruling the immortal divine dynasty in the future and was one of the dominators of the world. On the other hand, Qin Chen was only a lowly handyman who looked to be in his early forties and was only in the Mingquan Realm. While the other members of the royal family looked down on him, the exiled 17th Prince, only the 9th Prince treated him as usual. Qin Chen acknowledged the 9th Prince as his brother. The 9th Prince looked at Qin Chen with an apologetic expression, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 17th brother. You¡¯ve been in the Taiyi Holy Land for more than 30 years, yet I¡¯ve only come to see you now, and under such circumstances too.¡± He felt guilty. He had only come to meet Qin Chen because he was here to visit the Elder King. ¡°9th brother, I¡¯m doing pretty well now,¡± Qin Chen said. He didn¡¯t blame the 9th Prince. It was already good enough that he still recognized him as his brother. Besides, he was not lying. If he had not been sent to the Taiyi Holy Land, he would not have been able to get the check-in system, let alone become the revered Elder King. However, the more Qin Chen said so, the more guilty the 9th Prince felt. He thought that Qin Chen was just trying to hide his low spirits. To think the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty had been reduced to a servant. Who could tolerate the difference in status? Now, even though Qin Chen was younger than the 9th Prince, he looked as old as his father. The 9th Prince felt his heart ache and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°17th brother, after this matter is settled, I will bring you back to the Great Qin Dynasty. With enough resources, no matter how bad your talent is, it¡¯ll help you reach the Sixiang Realm or even the Wuxing Realm. Then, you can return to the royal family. I believe Father would be very willing to see you then.¡± ¡°9th brother, thank you for your kind intentions, but I don¡¯t want to go back,¡± Qin Chen was touched, but he refused. He was now the Elder King in the Taiyi Holy Land, with even higher authority than the Holy Lord. He had power and authority, not to mention that he could obtain many treasures from checking in around the place. He was not willing to leave just like that. At the very least, he had to check in at all the places available in the Taiyi Holy Land. Furthermore, to be honest, he did not have much of a sense of belonging to the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, he would definitely make a trip to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future, as his mother was still imprisoned in the cold palace. But not now. Although he was already a peerless Venerable in the eyes of others, and all the immortal factions needed to respect him, he knew that there woudld always be someone better than him in the Canglan Continent. There must be other Venerables and even more powerful Sages. Furthermore, the ten thousand ancient races would reappear soon in the future, and Sages would be everywhere. Even if he became a Sage, the ten thousand ancient races would kill him as a warning to the human race if he was too conspicuous. Therefore, Qin Chen felt that it was better to keep a low profile for now. He would only surface after his strength had increased a few more realms. By then, he would return to the Great Qin Dynasty, and his words would be enough to settle the situation. At this stage, he still had to be cowardly, no, cautious and steady! The 9th Prince thought that Qin Chen was feeling inferior and didn¡¯t dare to go back. He said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, 17th brother. I¡¯ve already become a King, and I¡¯m a true core member of the imperial family now. I can definitely bring you back. ¡°. ¡°9th brother, I didn¡¯t mean it that way¡­¡± ¡°17th brother, you don¡¯t need to say anything more. I¡¯m here for you, so don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Qin Chen really wanted to refuse, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. At this moment, the 8th Imperial Prince walked out of the Taiyi Main Hall. Seeing the two of them arguing, he coldly glanced at Qin Chen and then at the 9th Prince. With a hint of blame in his eyes, he said, ¡°Feng¡¯er, don¡¯t mess around. You can¡¯t bring him back. Otherwise, the people from the other factions will definitely attack you with this. Even your Father will not like you. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to get to where you are now. You can¡¯t waste all your efforts just for this good-for-nothing.¡± Chapter 32 - Drawing a Clear Line Chapter 32 Drawing a Clear Line It turned out that the 8th Imperial Prince was suspicious of the 9th Prince¡¯s departure. He sensed that the 9th Prince was in front of the palace and was chatting with the abandoned Prince, Qin Chen. The Prince even wanted to bring the 9th Prince back to the Great Qin Dynasty, so he immediately came out to stop him. What kind of joke was this? Qin Chen¡¯s mother¡¯s faction had fought with the current Empress¡¯ faction in the past and lost. As a result, Qin Chen¡¯s mother had been banished to the cold palace, and her faction was also suppressed. They were not as great as they used to be. The current Imperial Lord did not like that faction either. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the faction was quite powerful, it would have long been suppressed and crippled. Qin Chen was just an abandoned Prince as well as a mortal with a useless body. Even though he had broken through the shackles of the mortal body, he was still only a weak cultivator at the Mingquan Realm, which was insignificant and not worthy of the attention of the Imperial Lord and the Empress. Now was an important moment for the major factions to support their chosen Princes and Princesses to fight for the position of the Crown Prince. They could not make any mistakes, even if it was just a small one. After all, the attitude of the Imperial Lord and the Empress was also very important. Furthermore, if the other Crown Prince competitors knew about this, they would definitely use it to attack the 9th Prince¡¯s faction. As one of the core figures of the 9th Prince¡¯s faction, the 8th Imperial Prince could not allow such a thing to happen. He had to stop it from happening no matter what. ¡°But¡­¡± The 9th Prince was anxious, and he wanted to refute. ¡°No buts, that¡¯s the end of this,¡± The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at the aging Qin Chen and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the latter with no affection and said indifferently, ¡°17, at least you have some self-awareness and know how to refuse. If your 9th brother¡¯s future is ruined because of you, you can¡¯t bear the responsibility. As for you, if your 9th brother becomes the Imperial Lord in the future and you haven¡¯t died of old age, you can go back and confer upon you the title of a Prince.¡± Of course, he didn¡¯t think that Qin Chen could live to that age, because Kings could live for two to three thousand years. The Imperial Lord was in his prime, and he would probably continue to hold the throne for a few hundred years before he officially abdicated. At that time, Qin Chen might not even be alive. At this time, the other imperial family¡¯s disciples also came out one after another and dissuaded, ¡°9th brother, now that you¡¯ve become a Qiyao Realm King, your chances of becoming Crown Prince are very high if there is nothing unexpected. You might even have the greatest chance of becoming the Imperial Lord. You can¡¯t waste all your efforts because of an abandoned Prince.¡± ¡°9th brother, if you bring this trash Qin Chen back, you will definitely be attacked by the other imperial family experts. It will be very disadvantageous for you to fight for the Crown Prince position.¡± Qin Chen furrowed his brows. Although he did not want to return to the Great Qin Dynasty, these people¡¯s attitudes made him very displeased. He really wanted to show his true cultivation and send these guys flying with a single slap. But after thinking about it, there was no need to expose himself just because of these guys. It would only cause countless troubles. He could just find an opportunity to secretly beat them up. After all, they had come to the Taiyi Holy Land to visit the Elder King. He would just appear later and teach these guys a lesson. After thinking it through, Qin Chen¡¯s mood brightened. He said to the 9th Prince, ¡°9th brother, I¡¯m already very happy with your kind intentions. I also hope that you can become the next Imperial Lord. At that time, no one will be able to object to you bringing me back.¡± The 9th Prince went silent. After a long while, he said to Qin Chen, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 17th brother. You have to wait for me. I will definitely become the Imperial Lord.¡± ¡°I believe 9th brother will definitely succeed!¡± ¡°Oh, if it isn¡¯t my 8th brother and nephew Qin Feng?¡± At this moment, a mocking voice was heard. A group of people descended from the sky. They were the other Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty, who were being invited in by the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other higher-ups of the Holy Lands. The 8th Imperial Prince frowned. As expected, they had all come. The 9th Prince Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He raised his head to look at the Princes and Princesses and said, ¡°3rd Imperial uncle, 11th Imperial uncle, 19th Imperial uncle, and brother, 7th brother, 13th sister, you¡¯re here too.¡± Three Imperial Princes had arrived with their Prince and Princesses. Immediately, their eyes fell on Qin Chen, who was dressed in a green handyman¡¯s robe. Although he looked much older, they could still recognize him. They could not help but be slightly stunned. Wasn¡¯t he the 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled from the royal family? The King-level Imperial Princes frowned slightly. They were very disdainful of the fact that this descendant of the Imperial Lord had been reduced to a handyman. They weren¡¯t dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Taiyi Holy Land either because in their eyes, Qin Chen, an abandoned Prince, was not even qualified to be part of the royal family. They did not approve of him. The other Princes and Princesses also glanced at him and turned a blind eye. Even if they recognized him, they did not have the slightest expression, treating him like roadside weeds, not putting him in their eyes at all. If it was any other time, they wouldn¡¯t have bothered. However, they clearly saw the 9th Prince chatting with the abandoned Prince, so they couldn¡¯t help but have some thoughts. ¡°It seems that nephew Qin Feng is quite close to Qin Chen. I wonder what the Imperial Lord¡¯s opinion will be after he finds out about this?¡± the 3rd Imperial Prince said. The 8th Imperial Prince naturally knew what these people¡¯s goal was. He was also a Lord of a region, so he naturally had a strong mentality. His expression did not change as he said, ¡°3rd brother, you¡¯ve misunderstood. Feng¡¯er just happened to meet the abandoned Prince. With Feng¡¯er¡¯s identity, how could he be familiar with Concubine Yang¡¯s useless descendant?¡± In just a few words, he had completely cut off the relationship between the 9th Prince and Qin Chen. The 9th Prince opened his mouth, but he couldn¡¯t say anything. He looked at Qin Chen with guilt. ¡°Is that so?¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince and the others looked at the 9th Prince and Qin Chen. Seeing that they couldn¡¯t get any important information, they were disappointed and could only enter the Taiyi Main Hall. On the way, when they passed by the 8th Imperial Prince, they sneered, ¡°8th brother, it seems that you haven¡¯t had the time to rope in Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land. You¡¯re a step too slow. It¡¯ll depend on how capable each of us is later.¡± The 8th Imperial Prince¡¯s face darkened as he watched them leave. Chapter 34 - Indeed, Your Aptitude Is Average Chapter 34 Indeed, Your Aptitude Is Average Acknowledge as the master? Everyone in the Taiyi Main Hall was stunned. As one of the candidates for the Crown Prince position, the 2nd Prince was not stupid. He immediately walked forward and bowed at a 90-degree angle to Qin Chen, ¡°Junior Qin Ming hopes to be the Elder King¡¯s disciple. I hope the Elder King will agree!¡± The Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses¡¯ expressions changed. They had never expected that the 3rd Imperial Prince would offer for the 2nd Prince to become the Elder King¡¯s disciple just to win over the latter. One had to know that in this world, one of the strongest relationships was that of master and disciple. Once a disciple betrayed their master, they would be spurned by the world and no one would respect them. The 2nd Prince hoped to tie the Elder King to their side. As such, they gave such an offer: If the 2nd Prince became the Imperial Lord in the future, the Elder King would become the Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Dynasty. He would be considered half a member of the Great Qin Dynasty. Furthermore, because he was the emperor¡¯s mentor, he would also have great power. It had to be said that these conditions were very generous. The position of the Imperial Advisor was extraordinary. However, the Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land was a peerless Venerable in the Bahuang Realm. He was indeed qualified to be the Imperial Lord¡¯s teacher. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that 3rd brother would seize the initiative this time!¡± Although the expressions of the other Imperial Princes were somewhat unsightly, there was nothing they could do now. The expressions of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others also changed slightly. They hadn¡¯t expected this either, but they didn¡¯t say anything. They could only look at the Elder King. This was because once the Elder King agreed, he would be dragged into the internal strife of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s royal family. If the 2nd Prince won and became the Emperor, then it would be fine. If not, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. The final decision was still up to the Elder King. The 3rd Imperial Prince looked at this scene with great satisfaction. He believed that the Elder King would not refuse. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sneer in his heart. The other party wanted him to take the 2nd Prince Qin Ming as his disciple and become the Imperial Advisor of the future Imperial Lord? It was simply laughable. Did he want to pull him into the 2nd Prince¡¯s faction with just this? If he had been willing to reveal his identity, the Great Qin Dynasty would probably come forward and not only make him the next Imperial Lord, but they would even make the current Imperial Lord abdicate and pass on the throne to him. An existence that was on par with a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm was so valuable that many of the old fogeys in the Great Qin Dynasty would not hesitate to come forward and force the Imperial Lord to apologize for what happened all those years ago and abdicate his position. They would probably try to win him back with the Imperial Lord position. Qin Chen didn¡¯t have a good impression of the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince. After all, they had just treated him like an ant at the entrance of the Taiyi Main Hall and even threatened the 9th Prince while they were at it. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he didn¡¯t want to reveal his identity too early and disrupt his peaceful life, he would have already taken revenge then and there. Qin Chen was displeased. Now that a great opportunity had presented itself, he naturally had to teach the 3rd Imperial Prince a lesson. He looked at the 2nd Prince and said, ¡°Tell me about your talent. If you¡¯re not talented, I won¡¯t take you in as my disciple.¡± Hearing this, the 2nd Prince¡¯s face brightened and he immediately said, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯m not talented, but I started cultivating when I was seven, awakened my spirit sea when I was eight, and stepped into the Yiyuan Realm then. I¡¯ve been cultivating for 217 years now, and have only just advanced to the Qiyao Realm seven years ago.¡± He sounded as if he seemed to be dissatisfied that he had cultivated for 200 years before reaching the Qiyao Realm, but anyone could hear the pride in his tone. The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were in an uproar as they looked at the 2nd Prince with admiration. To enter the Qiyao Realm after just cultivating for 200 years was a rare sight. He could be considered a peerless genius. To think he still felt dissatisfied. It was really infuriating in comparison. The Qiyao Realm was their lifelong goal. When the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others heard this, they were shocked. As expected of the Great Qin Dynasty, there were many geniuses. Reaching the Qiyao Realm in just 200 years, the 2nd Prince was definitely a first-class genius. If it weren¡¯t for Ling Ran, who had the monstrous Zixia Body, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would have been completely overshadowed. ¡°Zhen¡¯er is too modest. Your talent can definitely be considered outstanding even in the world,¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince¡¯s face was full of pride. If it weren¡¯t for the 2nd Prince¡¯s extraordinary talent, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen his faction either. Then, he helped promote the Prince by saying, ¡°Of course, he can¡¯t be compared to you, Elder King. If he can become your disciple and receive your guidance, I believe the 2nd Prince will be able to enter the Bahuang Realm in the future. With that, both the Elder King and your disciple will be Venerables that are renowned throughout the world, wouldn¡¯t that be great?¡± ¡°Shameless!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know that 3rd brother was so good at flattering!¡± The 8th, 11th, and 19th Imperial Princes cursed in their hearts. Indeed, a shameless person was invincible. However, they also felt a deep sense of danger, hating themselves for not thinking of the same offer and letting the 3rd Imperial Prince take the initiative. ¡°I don¡¯t think the 2nd Prince is being too modest. You need 200 years to even enter the Qiyao Realm. Your talent is indeed average. I have no interest in taking someone with such ordinary talent as my disciple. Please leave,¡± Qin Chen sneered. The entire place was silent! Everyone looked at Elder King in shock. The 2nd Prince was dumbfounded. He had just been mocking himself, but now he was really being evaluated as ordinary! The 3rd Imperial Prince was also stunned, and his expression turned ugly. The 2nd Prince he supported was evaluated as mediocre, so didn¡¯t that mean that he had bad taste? He could not help but be furious. ¡°What the Elder King said is true. Ming¡¯er¡¯s aptitude is ordinary. It seems that he is not fated to be the Elder King¡¯s disciple. However¡­¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince¡¯s voice was cold and deep as he looked straight at the Elder King on the main seat and said, ¡°May I ask, who exactly is the Elder King? I¡¯ve always been very curious.¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince had originally been rather respectful of the Elder King, but after the other party had ruthlessly rejected him in public, he no longer respected him. He just wanted to know who this Elder King was. The others were also curious. They had heard that this Elder King was very mysterious, and even the people of the Taiyi Holy Land didn¡¯t know his true identity. However, the other Imperial Princes were naturally unwilling to offend the Elder King, so they all said, ¡°3rd brother, what do you mean by this? The Elder King is an unparalleled Venerable. How can you question his identity?¡± ¡°The Elder King is both the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land and a Venerable of the world. How can we question his identity? 3rd brother, you¡¯ve crossed the line.¡± ¡°I just want to know the true identity of the Elder King,¡± The 3rd Imperial Prince snorted coldly, ¡°As far as I know, the Taiyi Holy Land hasn¡¯t had a Qiyao Realm King for tens of thousands of years. Only recently did Holy Lord Lu and Holy Daughter Ling Ran appear. If the Elder King had been from the Taiyi Holy Land, he would¡¯ve been famous all over the world. But I¡¯ve never heard of anyone in the Taiyi Holy Land who is famous all over the world except for Holy Lord Lu and a few others. Therefore, I suspect that Elder King isn¡¯t from the Taiyi Holy Land, but an outsider.¡± Even though the 3rd Imperial Prince¡¯s words had chop logic, they sounded somewhat reasonable. The Taiyi Holy Land had been in decline for a long time. It was surprising to hear that a Venerable who could suppress the world had come out of nowhere. Before this, the Taiyi Holy Land had elected him as the Elder King, so outsiders had not been able to say much. Now that the 3rd Imperial Prince had taken the initiative to ask, many people were curious. To be honest, the people of the Taiyi Holy Land were also very curious, but no one asked for fear of offending the Elder King. What was the true identity of the Elder King? Chapter 35 - The Selection of a Disciple Chapter 35 The Selection of a Disciple The Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s expression turned cold as he shouted, ¡°3rd Imperial Prince, is the identity of the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land something an outsider like you can question?¡± All the Supreme Elders also stood up and said coldly, ¡°3rd Imperial Prince, you¡¯ve crossed the line. You do not have the right to meddle in the affairs of the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°It is enough that the Taiyi Holy Land knows the Elder King¡¯s identity. There¡¯s no need to tell outsiders.¡± Although they did wish to know Elder King¡¯s true identity, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others knew that they had to speak up for the Elder King at this time. Otherwise, if the Elder King quit in a fit of anger, the Taiyi Holy Land would suffer the greatest loss. Besides, the Elder King had even refused the position of the Holy Lord back then. It was only when they had all requested together for him to take on the position of the Elder King that he had reluctantly agreed. Obviously, the Elder King didn¡¯t want anything from the Taiyi Holy Land. He hadn¡¯t asked for anything in the past few years either. Otherwise, with his status, he could have everything he wanted from the entire Taiyi Holy Land. From this, it could be seen that Elder King was really an elder of the Taiyi Holy Land and treated them very well. The Taiyi Holy Land would be stupid to drive away such a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm with such a noble character and high prestige. They could still clearly distinguish the severity of the matter. Qin Chen was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Taiyi Holy Land and the others. If they really wanted to know his identity, he would not reveal it even if he had to leave the Taiyi Holy Land. With his current cultivation, he could go anywhere in the world. There was no lack of places left behind by the great Emperors in the world. Qin Chen glanced at the 3rd Imperial Prince. With that, a terrifying aura covered Heaven and Earth, sending the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince flying. They coughed up blood. A thunderous and majestic voice exploded in the Taiyi Main Hall, deafening everyone, ¡°Qin Huai, it is not your place to question me who I am. Do you think that just because you are the 3rd Imperial Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, you can do whatever you want? If you dare to talk back to me again, I¡¯ll immediately suppress you and have the Great Qin¡¯s Imperial Lord come personally to take you back!¡± The terrifying power made everyone in the Taiyi Main Hall feel like a huge mountain was pressing down on them. They all looked at the mysterious Elder King in shock. As expected of a peerless Venerable, such might was unparalleled! A trace of blood flowed down the corner of the 3rd Imperial Prince¡¯s mouth as he looked at the Elder King in fear. He had only dared to question the Elder King because of his status as the royal member of an immortal divine dynasty, but now that he thought about it, he felt a wave of fear. What kind of people was Venerables? Their emotions were unpredictable. For example, the great Venerable Xue Ye of the Central Province was able to move unhindered in the world. He didn¡¯t even put the immortal divine dynasty in his eyes. Even forces with great emperor inheritances didn¡¯t dare to offend him. This was because they had the cultivation to suppress the world. Now that he thought about it, his actions just now were simply courting death. If the Elder King wanted to take him down, the Great Qin Dynasty would have no objections as a Venerable was not to be blasphemed. They would probably even be willing to pay a huge price to suppress this matter in exchange for the Elder King¡¯s forgiveness. No one was willing to offend a Venerable. ¡°Get lost!¡± The Elder King snorted coldly. With a wave of his sleeve, his vast divine power sent the 3rd Imperial Prince and 2nd Prince flying The two of them were both Kings of the Qiyao Realm, but they were completely defenseless in front of the Elder King and were sent flying out of the main hall. From this, it could be seen how unfathomable the cultivation of the Elder King at the Bahuang Realm was! Although the 3rd Imperial Prince and the 2nd Prince were both shocked and angry to have been embarrassed as such in public, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They turned into rainbows and soared into the sky, leaving. Following that, the Elder King looked at the other members of the Great Qin Dynasty, making them feel as if they were facing a great enemy. Immediately, the 8th, 11th, and 19th Imperial Prince, as well as the other three King-level Princes and Princesses of the royal family, stepped forward and said, ¡°Elder King, we are only here to sincerely pay a visit to you. We don¡¯t dare to offend you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you know your place,¡± The Elder King nodded. With the 3rd Imperial Prince¡¯s matter as an example, the few Imperial Princes did not dare to speak frankly. They only used the excuse of paying a visit. When they spoke, they faintly revealed some intentions of hoping for the Elder King¡¯s support. Qin Chen pretended not to know. Seeing that the Elder King did not seem to understand, the 8th Imperial Prince gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak, ¡°Elder King, we¡¯ve come this time to discuss some important matters that we hope that Elder King can help us with. Whether we succeed or fail, I can promise that if the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land come to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future, we will open a part of the cultivation secret realms for the disciples¡¯ cultivation. If we succeed, I can represent the Great Qin Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with the Taiyi Holy Land. The 11th and 19th Imperial Princes naturally spoke as well, promising certain conditions. As long as the Elder King was willing to agree to their requests, they would pay a certain price. ¡°Speak, what is your purpose?¡± Qin Chen asked despite already knowing the answer. Seeing that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land had taken the initiative to speak, the 8th Imperial Prince and the other Imperial Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty looked at each other, but still did not say it out loud. They only said that they hoped that the Prince or Princess of their respective factions could cultivate under the Elder King. However, they also expressed in a discreet manner that as long as the Elder King was willing to take the Prince or Princess in as a disciple, not only would the Elder King be the Imperial Advisor, but he would also become the imperial family¡¯s High Priest and enjoy endless power in the dynasty. Such matters couldn¡¯t be said straight out, but the meaning was self-evident. At this point, QIn Chen could no longer pretend that he did not understand. Qin Chen really did not want to get involved in the internal conflicts of the Great Qin Dynasty. After all, to him, it was a very troublesome matter. However, he had a good impression of his 9th Brother Qin Feng. He was thinking that if the 9th Prince became the Imperial Lord, his mother would be released from the cold palace. It would also be more convenient for him to return to the Great Qin Dynasty in the future. ¡°Very well,¡± Qin Chen said, ¡°I do want to choose a disciple.¡± The three Princes and Princesses were excited. They all hoped that the Elder King would choose them. In the end, Qin Chen¡¯s gaze landed on the 9th Prince, ¡°9th Prince, you¡¯re not bad. You can cultivate with me in the future.¡± Both the 8th Imperial Prince and the 9th Prince were overjoyed. The expressions of the 11th Imperial Prince, 19th Imperial Prince, 7th Prince, and 13th Princess changed. To think the Elder King had chosen the 9th Prince! The 11th Imperial Prince immediately stepped forward and said with an ugly expression, ¡°Elder King, do you want to think about it carefully? The 9th Prince isn¡¯t the only one with good talent. For example, the 7th Prince, Qin Zhen, is about the same age as the 9th Prince. He¡¯s also at level four of the Qiyao Realm. He has a high chance of becoming like you and entering the Bahuang Realm!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do I need your permission to take someone as my disciple?¡± Qin Chen snorted, ¡°Or do you want to end up like the 3rd Imperial Prince?¡± Chapter 36 - The 9th Prince Who "Completed" the Picture Himself Chapter 36 The 9th Prince Who ¡°Completed¡± the Picture Himself The Elder King had taken the 9th Prince as his disciple. The 11th Imperial Prince, 19th Imperial Prince, 7th Prince, and 13th Princess were naturally very anxious. They had come all the way from the Great Qin Dynasty to the Taiyi Holy Land in hopes of getting the support of the Elder King. So, all of them wanted the Elder King to make a new choice. However, when they thought of how the Elder King had sent the 3rd Imperial Prince and 2nd Prince of the Qiyao Realm flying with a wave of his sleeve, such unfathomable ability made them feel awe and respect. They did not dare to disobey the Elder King¡¯s wishes, afraid that they would end up like that. In the end, they could only cup their fists and leave with forced smiles. As they watched them leave, the hearts of the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others sank. They were ultimately still caught up in the internal struggle for the throne of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, since it was the Elder King¡¯s choice, they respected it. In the Taiyi Main Hall, the 8th Imperial Prince was very happy. Now that the Elder King had taken the 9th Prince as his disciple, the 9th Prince had the help of an Bahuang Realm Venerable. As such, he would have a huge advantage in the fight for the Crown Prince¡¯s position. From a certain perspective, the 9th Prince had basically obtained the Crown Prince¡¯s position. When the imperial family was considering the selection of a Crown Prince, they would definitely consider winning over a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm with the position. ¡°Feng¡¯er, hurry up and greet your master,¡± The 8th Imperial Prince hurriedly said to the 9th Prince. The 9th Prince came back to his senses and was about to kneel to pay his respects, but Qin Chen sent out a wave of majestic divine power to stop him, ¡°There¡¯s no need to kneel now. If you want to become my disciple, you still have to fulfill a few conditions.¡± Of course, these conditions were just made-up. Qin Chen didn¡¯t want his 9th brother to kneel to him. After all, if his 9th brother knew about this in the future, he would definitely beat him out of embarrassment. The 8th Imperial Prince naturally understood the Venerable¡¯s temperament. Even if the 9th Prince was extremely talented and had entered the Qiyao Realm before the age of 100, which made him even more talented than the 2nd and 7th Princes, he still needed to be tested. Of course, the 8th Imperial Prince was very confident that the 9th Prince would be able to overcome this challenge and become the Elder King¡¯s disciple. Qin Chen didn¡¯t tell the 9th Prince the conditions right away. Instead, he had him stay in the Taiyi Holy Land for a while. The 9th Prince stayed, while the 8th Imperial Prince only stayed for a few days before leaving because he still had important matters to attend to in the Great Qin Dynasty. After that, he bade farewell and left with the rest of the royal family. On a cliff, Qin Chen watched as the 8th Imperial Prince¡¯s figure disappeared completely. Then, he let out a long breath, ¡°That old man is finally willing to leave.¡± The 9th Prince looked at the Elder King in shock. He didn¡¯t expect the respected Elder King to speak so rudely. ¡°Now that the old man is gone, I can finally stop pretending. 9th brother, let¡¯s drink together,¡± Qin Chen turned to the 9th Prince and smiled. ¡°9th brother?¡± The 9th Prince was stunned. He looked at Elder King in shock, ¡°You, you¡¯re my 17th brother!?¡± ¡°Oh, I forgot to remove my disguise,¡± Only then did Qin Chen remember. With a wave of his hand, the clear light of the path law that enveloped his body dissipated and he returned to his true form, revealing his handsome figure. Qin Chen was still the same, but he was younger and more handsome than when the 9th Prince first saw him. The 9th Prince¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Sses The Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, whom the four Princes and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty had come all the way from the Central Province to visit, was actually his 17th brother? He had countless questions in his heart. Qin Chen brought him to a quiet mountain stream. The waterfall poured down and the pool was clear. There was a thatched house, a stone table, and two stone stools there. With a wave of his hand, Qin Chen took out a pot of fine wine and said with a smile, ¡°9th brother, I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things that I can¡¯t tell you. I can only say that I¡¯m the Elder King, and I was the one who killed Yang Tiancheng and the Demon King¡¯s body that contained the demonic thought.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t hide this secret from the 9th Prince. Since he had asked the 9th Prince to stay, he didn¡¯t need to hide anything from him. He would be exposed sooner or later anyway, so he didn¡¯t want to waste time hiding anything. Qin Chen did trust the 9th Prince. Although the 9th Prince already knew that his 17th brother was the Elder King, he was still shocked to hear it from Qin Chen. Wasn¡¯t his 17th brother a mortal? Wasn¡¯t he just a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land? How did he become a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm and the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land? The 9th Prince opened his mouth but didn¡¯t ask. It took a long time for him to calm down, though he was still shocked. He needed some time to digest the information. He smiled bitterly and said, ¡°17th brother, you¡¯ve been hiding this from me for a long time. I was so worried about you and even wanted to bring you back to the royal family. Now, no one in the entire imperial family would dare to stop you from returning if you wanted to. Even if you want to become the Imperial Lord, those old fellows in the imperial family would not want anything more than your immediate return.¡± That¡¯s right, the Great Qin Dynasty would definitely be very excited to have a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm return. The Imperial Lord may seem high and might, what with being the master of an immortal divine dynasty, ruling the endless territories and controlling hundreds of millions of troops. However, there were many factions within the dynasty, and there were many conflicts. Even the Imperial Lord could not suppress those old farts. The appearance of a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm would immediately raise the influence of the entire Great Qin Dynasty to a whole new level. Just like how the Taiyi Holy Land had returned from a declining Holy Land to a state where it was on equal footing with the other factions with immortal inheritances. For the greater good of the Great Qin Dynasty, many of the elders would support Qin Chen¡¯s return. Qin Chen poured a cup of wine and passed it to the 9th Prince. He took a sip and smiled, ¡°9th brother, I don¡¯t want to go back to the Great Qin Dynasty now. I am living a carefree and happy life here. Isn¡¯t it much better than living in the Great Qin Dynasty?¡± The 9th Prince shook his head. He wanted to say something. How could the Taiyi Holy Land be compared to the Great Qin Dynasty? The Imperial Lord was even higher up. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Qin Chen¡¯s current life was indeed carefree. As the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, he was above everyone else and his words carried enormous weight. Didn¡¯t one see that even Holy Lord Taiyi and the other higher-ups of the Holy Land didn¡¯t dare to refute his words? However, there was one thing that he did not understand, ¡°17th brother, you¡¯re clearly the Elder King, so why are you still doing menial jobs like sweeping the floor and not willing to reveal your identity?¡± Could he say that he could obtain rewards by checking in by sweeping the floor every day? Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, divine herbs, and Divine Spirit Sources came as he wished. Besides, his 9th brother probably didn¡¯t understand that it was way more fun to pretend to be a weak person while, in reality, being very strong. Qin Chen naturally could not reveal his real secret. He simply smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s good to be a handyman, it trains your mind.¡± The 9th Prince came to a realization. That¡¯s right, from a high and mighty Prince of an immortal divine dynasty to a handyman all of a sudden, the difference was huge. However, it was also a superior method to temper one¡¯s mental state. It was no wonder that his 17th brother had risen to the Bahuang Realm as a mortal in just a few decades. Qin Chen immediately saw through the 9th Prince¡¯s thoughts. He couldn¡¯t help but curl his lips, ¡°My 9th brother really has a great imagination. If I didn¡¯t have the system to check in every day and obtain all kinds of treasures, who would be willing to be a handyman every day?¡± He knew that the 9th Prince had misunderstood, but he didn¡¯t explain. After all, with this, he wouldn¡¯t have to think of an excuse, so it was just as well. Chapter 37 - Qin Chen: I Eat These High-grade Pills Like Candy Chapter 37 Qin Chen: I Eat These High-grade Pills Like Candy Although the 9th Prince knew that the Elder King¡¯s true identity was his 17th brother, Qin Chen, he didn¡¯t leave. Instead, he stayed behind to cultivate with Qin Chen. Since they had to put up a show, they had to do it more seriously. Furthermore, his 17th brother was indeed the Elder King. It was just that he was not his 17th brother¡¯s disciple. He could still cultivate. Soon, it was announced that the 9th Prince had passed the Elder King¡¯s test and had become his official disciple. This made countless elders and disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land envious. Even the Supreme Elders were envious. After all, they also hoped to become the disciples of the Elder King On the surface, the 9th Prince had become the Elder King¡¯s disciple, but only the 9th Prince knew that the Elder King was his 17th brother. Qin Chen told the 9th Prince to keep this a secret because he didn¡¯t want to be disturbed by the world. The 9th Prince sighed in amazement. His 17th brother had hidden so well that no one in the Taiyi Holy Land knew that the true Elder King was Qin Chen, who was always sweeping the floor. Of course, Qin Chen did his best to guide the 9th Prince¡¯s cultivation. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation was at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, comparable to a Bahuang Realm Venerable. He had also grasped the inheritance of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and much emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. As such, it was no problem for him to guide the 9th Prince, a level two King of the Qiyao Realm. Oftentimes, when the 9th Prince had problems with cultivation, Qin Chen could point to the root of the problem and explain it in simple terms. The 9th Prince was enlightened, and he gained an increasingly deeper understanding of just how powerful his 17th brother was. In the blink of an eye, the 9th Prince, Qin Feng, had been cultivating with Qin Chen for half a year. He was quite talented. Being only a dozen years older than Qin Chen, he had also reached the Qiyao Realm in a few decades and was now at the peak of level two. According to the 9th Prince¡¯s calculations, he would break through to level three in half a year to three years. He told Qin Chen the news and was very excited, ¡°17th brother, thanks to your guidance, I¡¯ve advanced the middle stage of level two to the late stage in just half a year. I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be able to reach level three in three years.¡± One had to know that the further one cultivated, the more time it would take to improve each time. For example, the Taiyi Holy Lord Lu Xuan might look very young like he was in his early thirties, but he had actually cultivated for more than 800 years. He was very old, yet he had only broken through to the Qiyao Realm. One could only imagine how difficult it was to improve each time. Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince strangely, ¡°Why wait three years? You can break through right now.¡± The 9th Prince was shocked, ¡°How?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve refined some pills recently. They¡¯re useful for your breakthrough,¡± Qin Chen said. After saying that, he flipped his palm, and a pill appeared. It was vibrant like fresh blood and was surrounded by wisps of light. He said, ¡°Take this pill. It can increase your blood energy and divine power. It will help you break through faster.¡± The 9th Prince was shocked, ¡°This is¡­ The blood spirit-recovering pill, and it¡¯s of the peerless-grade!¡± The blood spirit-recovering pill was a precious pill of the intermediate seventh-grade. It contained the extraordinary effect of rapidly recovering injuries, blood energy, and healing internal injuries. When one was about to break through to the next realm, just taking one could make one¡¯s blood energy increase rapidly, increasing the success rate of the breakthrough. A seventh-grade pill like this was enough to make countless people go crazy over it in the outside world. Even many Qiyao Realm Kings desired one. This was especially true for the peerless-grade blood spirit-recovering pill. Those old men who had exhausted their lifespans would probably also go crazy over it. ¡°17th brother, did you really refine this? Are you also an alchemist?!¡± The 9th Prince¡¯s eyes instantly became heated. As a cultivation civilization, the cultivation of cultivators naturally could not do without the existence of pills. As a result, over the endless years, the profession of alchemy was born. Alchemists were considered a noble profession in this world because the pills they refined contained many wonderful effects such as healing injuries, raising cultivation, breaking through realms, and so on. As a result, they were sought after by countless cultivators. Corresponding to the ten major cultivation realms, alchemists were divided into ten levels as well. Medicinal pills were thus divided into ten grades, and each grade was further divided into the inferior, ordinary, superior, and peerless grades. However, only a few could become alchemists in Canglan Continent. ¡°An alchemist? I guess so,¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t deny it. When he checked in at an ancient alchemy palace in the Taiyi Holy Land, he had obtained the lifetime experience of an alchemist named Dan Xu. The system had directly instilled the experience in his mind, thus he had become an alchemist without any difficulty. It seemed that his Alchemist level was not low either. Over the years, he had obtained a lot of precious medicinal herbs, including some pill recipes. He had refined many pills according to the pill recipes, and the blood spirit-restoring pill was one of them. As for the so-called four great grades, Qin Chen did not know much about them. He only knew that he had obtained the experience of that alchemy Grandmaster. No matter what kind of pill he refined, he was able to do it with ease and had never failed. The 9th Prince took a deep look at the pill and then returned it to Qin Chen, ¡°17th brother, I appreciate your kind intentions. However, this peerless-grade blood spirit-restoring pill is too precious. I can¡¯t take it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, you don¡¯t have to be courteous,¡± Qin Chen waved his hand, ¡°I¡¯ve made quite a few over the years. Sometimes, I just eat them like candy. You can just take it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The 9th Prince suddenly suffered a mental blow. He was a Prince of an immortal divine dynasty and one of the most promising candidates for the Crown Prince¡¯s position. He had a lot of money, but he didn¡¯t have many pills, let alone such a peerless seventh-grade blood spirit-restoring pill. His 17th brother, however, ate such pills as candy. It was infuriating to compare! When the 9th Prince heard Qin Chen¡¯s reply, he stopped being courteous. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged, then swallowed the pill. The blood spirit-restoring pill instantly turned into a surge of medicinal power that filled his limbs and bones. It then turned into a vast amount of blood energy and divine power, which helped him to break through the peak of level two. The 9th Prince¡¯s aura instantly rose, and he was about to break through. He turned into a long rainbow that rushed into the sky. After breaking through, it was time to undergo the tribulation. Half a day later, the 9th Prince returned. Although he was in a somewhat sorry state, he was much more powerful than before. It was apparent that he had reached level three and was considered a mid-tier expert among these in the Qiyao Realm. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t just help the 9th Prince to break through a small realm. Since he was giving the latter guidance, he would be too embarrassed to tell anyone that he hadn¡¯t helped the other party break through three or four small realms at least. The stronger the 9th Prince was, the more hope he had to get the Crown Prince¡¯s position, and the more hope he had of becoming the Imperial Lord in the future. With the protection of an Imperial Lord, Qin Chen would be able to be protected by the Great Qin Dynasty with no worries when he returned. Chapter 38 - Something Big Has Happened Chapter 38 Something Big Has Happened Unknowingly, the 9th Prince had been in the Taiyi Holy Land for three years. Everyone could see the 9th Prince¡¯s improvement in cultivation over the past three years. In just three years, he had gone from level two to level four of the Qiyao Realm. This cultivation speed was extremely fast. One had to know that after reaching the Qiyao Realm, many Kings would need tens to hundreds of years to break through to the next level. It was absolutely shocking for him to advance two levels in three years. As such, the Taiyi Holy Land admired and even worshipped the Elder King¡¯s ability. Even the Taiyi Holy Lord and many elders would occasionally use the excuse of visiting the Elder King to seek advice from him. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t stingy either. He would grant almost all of their visits. Every time he gave them pointers, they would be enlightened and make a breakthrough. Of course, the one who had improved the most was still Ling Ran. Although she did not cultivate by Qin Chen¡¯s side all the time, with her advantages of the Zixia Body and the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra, she had reached level three of the Qiyao Realm in these three years. On this day, the divine bell suddenly rang at the main gates. Normally, the divine bell wouldn¡¯t be rung unless it was something extremely important. The last time it had rung was when a few of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses had come. What had happened this time? In the Taiyi Main Hall, the Taiyi Holy Lord, Ling Ran, and the Supreme Elders were gathered with grave expressions. That was because they had received a piece of bad news. The Myriad Demon Mountain Range had collapsed! As one of the Holy Lands of the Southern Desolate Lands, the Taiyi Holy Land still had many ancient countries as subsidiaries no matter how weak it was. Of course, these ancient countries could not be compared to immortal divine dynasties like the Great Qin Dynasty. They were just secular countries that were attached to the Taiyi Holy Land so as not to be threatened by other cultivation factions. The Myriad Demon Mountain Range stretched for 100000 miles. It was a natural barrier between the three ancient countries that were attached to the Taiyi Holy Land and the Demon Valley. It blocked the towering mountain range of the Demon Valley. The Demon Valley was notorious even in the Southern Desolate Lands. It was said that millions of demonic beasts lived there, and terrible demonic disasters would break out from time to time. Almost every year, the demons would rush into the human territory and wreak havoc, causing hundreds of thousands of lives to be lost. Because the three great ancient nations had the Myriad Demon Mountain Range as a natural barrier, apart from the occasional demonic beasts that crossed the mountain range, they had never suffered any serious losses. But just today, the Myriad Demon Mountain Range had suddenly collapsed, and a huge gap of dozens of miles long appeared. Countless demonic beasts had crossed the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and rushed into the territory of the three great ancient countries affiliated with the Taiyi Holy Land. In one day, millions of people had been killed, and the losses were heavy. Although the three great ancient nations had mobilized millions of troops to stop the demons, they had suffered heavy casualties as well. Now, the kings of the three great ancient nations were all requesting the Taiyi Holy Land to help and repel the demon disaster. ¡°Oh no, why would the Myriad Demon Mountain Range collapse for no reason?¡± In the Taiyi Main Hall, the higher-ups looked serious. The Myriad Demon Mountain Range had existed for tens of thousands of years, and it was really strange that it had suddenly collapsed. ¡°It¡¯s said that the Demon King has reappeared and made a move to collapse the Myriad Demon Mountain Range!¡± A Supreme Elder said with an ugly expression. ¡°The Demon King!¡± Everyone¡¯s expression changed. There was an extremely terrifying giant demon residing in the Demon Valley. It was a Demon King that had reached the Qiyao Realm and was extremely terrifying. It was said that a Holy Lord of an immortal Holy Land had once gone to the Demon Valley to kill a great demon for its demon core to refine pills. However, he encountered the Demon King and a great battle broke out. In the end, even someone as strong as that Holy Lord couldn¡¯t do anything to the Demon King. One had to know that a Holy Lord of an immortal Holy Land was mo ordinary Qiyao Realm expert. It was someone who could be considered an expert within the Qiyao Realm. Only then could that person suppress the other Kings and become the Holy Lord. From this, one could see how terrifying the Demon King was. ¡°Since it¡¯s a Demon King, it can only be me who will go to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range,¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord said in a deep voice. Only a Qiyao Realm King could deal with a Demon King. ¡°Holy Lord, why don¡¯t you let the Holy Daughter go with you too? That¡¯ll be safer,¡± A Supreme Elder¡¯s expression changed. That Demon King was no ordinary King, and Taiyi Holy Lord had only entered the Qiyao Realm not long ago. He wasn¡¯t a match for the Demon King If the Holy Daughter Ling Ran also went, two Qiyao Realm Kings should have more success in facing the Demon King. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if I¡¯m not a match for the Demon King, I can escape unscathed. Ling Ran will stay in the Holy Land to oversee things, and we can¡¯t trouble the Elder King for everything either. The main purpose of this trip is to negotiate. I believe that the Demon King of the Demon Valley would not be willing to start a war with the Taiyi Holy Land either.¡± Soon, Taiyi Holy Lord left the Holy Land with a few Supreme Elders and headed for the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. A day later, bad news came. The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Demon King of the Demon Valley had failed to reach an agreement, and a great battle had broken out. In the end, the former had been severely injured. The Demon King was also injured by Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s desperate counterattack and temporarily retreated. However, it was said that the Demon King was enraged after being injured and would soon lead an army of demonic beasts to invade the three great ancient nations. The news caused everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land to panic. After the Taiyi Holy Lord had gone to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, no one objected to Holy Daughter Ling Ran becoming the substitute Holy Lord. Now that the Holy Lord was injured, Ling Ran decided that she would go to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to visit Holy Lord Taiyi and stop the demon disaster from the Demon Valley from invading. Qin Chen, who was guiding the 9th Prince¡¯s cultivation, also received the news. Thousands of demons were about to invade the territory of the human race and cause misery and suffering. As a human, he naturally could not sit by and do nothing. ¡°9th brother,¡± He said to the 9th Prince, ¡°The Myriad Demon Mountain Range has collapsed and the demons are causing trouble. This is a good opportunity for you to train and kill a Demon King.¡± Before the Holy Daughter Ling Ran was ready to leave, the higher-ups of the Holy Land received a message from the Elder King. He was going to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to kill the Demon King. This made everyone in the Holy Land excited. If the Elder King made a move, the Demon King was dead for sure. Qin Chen and the 9th Prince set off, using the void divine altar of the Taiyi Holy Land. This divine altar had been set up with a spatial array that could tear the void and allow its users to teleport over long distances. After a huge gap leading to the three great ancient countries had been created by the collapse of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, they temporarily changed the name of the nearest ancient city to the gap to Zhenyao City. More than 1.5 million troops of the three great ancient countries were stationed there, waiting for the demon disaster to strike. Whoosh! The space trembled, and a divine altar tore through the space to appear. It was Qin Chen and the 9th Prince. They arrived directly above Zhenyao City. At this moment, Zhenyao City was in a solemn state. A large number of troops had come from the three countries and quickly stationed themselves here. It was said that the three great ancient countries had mobilized a total of 1.5 million troops to Zhenyao City. This mid-sized city was simply unable to accommodate so many soldiers, so many had set up camp outside the city. As far as the eye could see, there were countless military camps. Outside Zhenyao City was truly rivers of blood. It was due to the demon disaster that had appeared. The three great ancient countries had quickly mobilized the nearby troops to resist, and after several days and nights of fighting, the surrounding area was completely dyed red with blood. Looking at the Myriad Demon Mountain Range again, there was originally a towering mountain range that was thousands of feet high. It was like a heavenly pass that stretched for 100000 miles, isolating the human race¡¯s three great ancient countries from the Demon Valley. At this moment, a large part of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range had collapsed, and a huge gap that was dozens of miles long had appeared, creating a passage between the territory of the human race and the Demon Valley. Seeing the bloody scene outside Zhenyao City, even the usually gentle Qin Chen could not help but have a solemn expression. Chapter 39 - The Demon Disaster Is Here Chapter 39 The Demon Disaster Is Here The 9th Prince¡¯s expression also darkened. He said coldly, ¡°To think a mere Demon Valley dares to wreak havoc in the territory of the human race, causing countless lives to be lost. Do they really not put the human race in their eyes?¡± In the past, although he was a Prince of an immortal divine dynasty, he had never seen such a miserable scene. After all, the Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty that ruled hundreds of millions of miles of the Central Province. Their army was also in the hundreds of millions, so how would the demons dare to invade such a powerful ancient divine dynasty? Such a bloody scene had naturally never happened there before. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see Lu Xuan first,¡± Qin Chen said. He and the 9th Prince silently arrived at a palace in Zhenyao City. The Taiyi Holy Lord was the only one there, and he was sitting cross-legged while circulating his power to heal his injuries. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw the two of them. His expression quickly brightened as he stood up and cupped his fists towards the figure that was surrounded by light, ¡°Greetings, Elder King.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s gaze fell on Lu Xuan. He could sense that Lu Xuan¡¯s injuries were not shallow. He had an internal injury, and demonic energy had invaded his body, which he could not expel immediately. Now that his aura was weak, it was obvious that he was heavily injured. ¡°You¡¯re seriously injured, and demonic energy has invaded your body. It hasn¡¯t been expelled yet. That Demon King is not weak,¡± Qin Chen said. ¡°Elder King, you are right,¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord said with a wry smile, ¡°That Demon King is at least at level five of the Qiyao Realm. I¡¯m far from its match, so I was injured during the battle.¡± ¡°Cough,¡± As he spoke, he coughed violently and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was seriously injured. Seeing this, Qin Chen strode forward. He placed a hand on the other party¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t circulate your power, I¡¯ll help you dissolve the demonic power.¡± With that, a clear light shot out of his palm and entered the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s body. It instantly circulated around his limbs. To his surprise, the Taiyi Holy Lord found that the Demon King¡¯s power that he couldn¡¯t do expel even after long attempts and could only suppress was quickly dispersed and expelled out of his body once the Elder King made a move. Qin Chen had displayed the unfathomable cultivation of the Elder King. ¡°Many thanks for the Elder King¡¯s help!¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord said gratefully. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± With a flip of his hand, a pill appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It was as vibrant as fresh blood and was surrounded by wisps of light, ¡°Take this pill. It can speed up your recovery.¡± ¡°This is¡­ A blood spirit-restoring pill!¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord was shocked. The 9th Prince¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. He even looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord in disdain. It was just a blood spirit-restoring pill. Was there a need to be so surprised? He had forgotten that his expression had been similar to the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s back then. Qin Chen nodded, ¡°This is a pill that I¡¯ve just simply refined. You can take it.¡± A pill¡­ That he just simply refined. The corners of the Taiyi Holy Lord¡¯s mouth twitched. However, when he thought about how the Elder King had become a peerless Venerable without anyone knowing, and how he had helped the 9th Prince and Ling Ran break through two levels in just three years, it seemed reasonable that Elder King also knew alchemy. In short, the Elder King was awesome, and that was all! The Taiyi Holy Lord didn¡¯t hold back and immediately took the blood spirit-restoring pill. With that, his injuries recovered at a visible speed, and his aura rose. In the end, he returned to his peak. His eyes were bright, and he even felt a little stronger than before. ¡°As expected of the blood spirit-restoring pill. Not only did it heal my injuries completely, but it also made my blood energy stronger. Besides, as an intermediate seventh-grade pill, after healing my injuries, it¡¯s only used up half of its power. The remaining power will gradually take effect in my meridians, and it can even push my cultivation to the next level. Perhaps it can help me break through and reach a higher realm,¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord was amazed by the efficacy of the blood spirit-restoring pill. Qin Chen said, ¡°Holy Lord, you have recovered from your injuries. Let¡¯s head to the Demon Valley together. Let¡¯s solve the demon disaster at its root and end all this.¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord was shocked. Did the Elder King mean that he would kill the Demon King? He was naturally very willing to do so. The Demon King in the Demon Valley was too powerful, and it would be best if they could deal with it. Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, the ground began to shake violently. Demonic energy surged into the sky in the distance. It was an astonishing sight. ¡°The demon disaster is here, and the Demon King is here!¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord looked in the direction of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range with a cold gaze. They hadn¡¯t gone to find the Demon King yet, and the Demon King had already come in person. The three of them soared into the sky from the palace and stood in the sky. They looked in the direction of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and saw all kinds of demonic beasts emerging from the huge gap in the mountain. In an instant, they gathered into a black mass of a demonic beast army, thousands of them. The small ones were as small as mice, while the large ones were tens of feet, hundreds of feet, and even thousands of feet tall, like small mountains. They all exuded shocking demonic energy. Some walked on the ground, while others soared in the sky. From small demons at the Yiyuan Realm to great Grandmaster demons at the Liuhe Realm, there were all kinds. The demonic beasts were endless. They were like a black mass, covering the sky and the sun. It was very frightening. ¡°The demon disaster is here!¡± There was a bell tower in Zhenyao City. When the bell rang, the 1.5 million troops of the three great ancient countries were all awakened. Facing the demonic beast army that covered the sky and earth, although they were trembling and knew that they would most likely die if war broke out, they still didn¡¯t retreat. They held their weapons and looked straight ahead, waiting solemnly. Naturally, the Taiyi Holy Lord wasn¡¯t the only cultivator in Zhenyao City. Many elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land also rushed into the sky. Their expressions were solemn and their hearts were heavy, but when they saw the two people beside the Holy Lord, they instantly relaxed. Weren¡¯t they the 9th Prince and the Elder King? The 9th Prince was already a King of the Qiyao Realm. He was young, but his cultivation was profound. He was on the same level as the various Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords, which was extraordinary. As for the Elder King, he was a God in the eyes of everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land. Seeing the Elder King, the people from the Taiyi Holy Land were very excited. They came to him immediately and saluted him respectfully, ¡°Greetings, Elder King.¡± Qin Chen nodded slightly. These elders and disciples were quite courageous and upright, still willing to guard this place under such circumstances. ¡°Human army, stay where you are and don¡¯t move!¡± The 9th Prince¡¯s armor flapped as he looked ahead and released a terrifying King¡¯s aura. He rushed into the sky and came to the front of the battlefield. He shouted, ¡°To think mere demons dare to invade the territory of the human race! You¡¯re courting death!¡± With that, a three-foot-long divine sword that was flowing with divine light appeared in his hand. He waved it at the demonic beast army that had crossed the Myriad Demon Mountain Range. Boom! The sword light made the ground tremble! A sword light visible to the naked eye that was tens of thousands of feet long crossed the sky in the blink of an eye like a long river, colliding with the power to sweep away thousands of troops with the army of demonic beasts that rushed out of the Demon Valley. Blood splattered everywhere. In an instant, countless demonic beasts were beheaded by the sword light, and blood flowed like a river. The might of a single sword attack! Chapter 40 - The Black Flood Dragon King Chapter 40 The Black Flood Dragon King All the demons were silent as they looked in horror at the figure that shot into the sky. The terrifying aura was clearly that of a human King in the Qiyao Realm. The human army was excited. Another King had arrived, and there was hope in protecting the human territory. ¡°Human King! How dare you attack my subordinates while being a mere King!¡± Suddenly, a cold snort exploded like thunder. The next moment, in the sky above the countless demonic beasts, a cloud that covered a radius of dozens of miles suddenly appeared. The figure of a huge demonic beast could be vaguely seen. The long and soft figure was covered in huge black scales. It meandered in the cloud, and only two huge red flames poked out. When they were clearly seen, the huge red flames were a pair of eyes. A huge head peeked out from the clouds. When the million-strong army guarding Zhenyao City saw the head of the demonic beast, they were stunned and felt an unparalleled pressure as if a mountain was on them. It was a huge flood dragon. Its faintly visible body was thousands of feet long, covered with black dragon scales that reflected a dark light and emitted boundless demonic energy. It was as if it made everyone feel despair by just standing there. The Demon King, the Black Flood Dragon King! The Demon King of the Demon Valley! ¡°What strong demonic energy! This Demon King is at least above level six of the Qiyao Realm, or even stronger!¡± Even a human King like the 9th Prince was solemn. ¡°This is the Black Flood Dragon King, one of the five Demon Kings of the Demon Valley,¡± The Taiyi Holy Lord said in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s very powerful, and it has the bloodline of a true dragon. Even a King that is the Holy Lord of a Holy Land can¡¯t do anything to him.¡± Demons had stronger bodies than humans, let alone the Black Flood Dragon King, who had the blood of a true dragon flowing through its veins. It was a King among the demons and was even more terrifying. Back then, the Taiyi Holy Lord had been severely injured because he had fought against this Black Flood Dragon King. It was only with the help of a secret technique that he had managed to injure the Demon King and escape. Everyone was on guard. Only Qin Chen remained calm. He said to the 9th Prince, ¡°Nine, you go. Dealing with this Demon King will be good training for you.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± In front of outsiders, Qin Chen and the 9th Prince naturally couldn¡¯t call each other brothers. The 9th Prince also wanted to test the results of his three years of cultivation. The huge eyes of the Black Flood Dragon King, who was coiled up in the sky, looked at the 9th Prince, who was making a move. With a hint of cold anger, he bellowed, ¡°Human King, how dare you attack my people? I¡¯ll kill you today!¡± Although the Black Flood Dragon King was extremely huge at hundreds of meters long like a long mountain range, it was extremely agile. A claw the size of a small mountain swiped at the 9th Prince, tearing apart the void. It was a terrifying sight. The 9th Prince snorted coldly as he drew his sword and slashed out a sharp sword light that was a hundred yards long. It gathered the laws of Heaven and Earth¡¯s sword path and clashed with the dragon claw. The thousand-foot sword light dissipated, and the flood dragon¡¯s claw was also blocked. The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s huge eyes looked at the 9th Prince with a hint of surprise, but its body moved, and its huge tail swept across the army toward the 9th Prince, carrying terrifyingly vast demonic energy. If an ordinary human King were to face it, he would probably be severely injured by the dragon tail attack. The 9th Prince let out a roar and sent out a palm that turned into a 100-foot handprint the size of a mountain. The laws of the great path in the world quickly gathered and dissolved into the handprint, making it contain the might of the world as he shouted, ¡°Heaven-overturning Palm Imprint!¡± Venerable-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven-overturning Palm Imprint! This was something that Qin Chen had taught the 9th Prince in the past three years. Even in the Great Qin Dynasty, there wasn¡¯t much supernormal knowledge of this level. If the 9th Prince, who was at level four of the Qiyao Realm, cast it, he would be able to rival a level six King. Heaven and Earth were torn apart, and the void exploded from the collision. Waves of terrifying power tore open a 10000-feet-long abyss in the ground, completely separating the human race and the demon race. The 9th Prince staggered backward in the air, his purlicue split open, and blood flowed from it. It was clear that even with Venerable-grade supernormal knowledge, it was not enough to deal with a Demon King like the Black Flood Dragon King. The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s tail trembled slightly as a few of its black scales cracked open. Traces of golden blood could also be seen. Clearly, it had been injured by the Venerable-grade supernormal knowledge as well. Clearly, the Black Flood Dragon King did not expect that it would not be able to defeat this human King directly. Its demonic might instantly skyrocketed, and clouds quickly covered the sky. It opened its mouth and spat out a white light. Wherever the white light passed, the void actually froze directly. It was just like the extreme power of frost. ¡°Dragon Breath!¡± The 9th Prince was very knowledgeable and could tell that this was the legendary Dragon Breath. It was an attack that only the dragon race could use, and it contained the terrifying power of the dragon race. Although the Black Flood Dragon King was not exactly a member of the dragon race, it was still a Demon King with dragon blood flowing through its veins. As such, it was able to use Dragon Breath. With this, even the 9th Prince had a grave expression on his face, not daring to be careless. With a loud roar, the 9th Prince formed a seal with both hands and used another Venerable-grade supernormal knowledge, Holy Light Shield! A Holy Light Shield that was a thousand feet tall appeared in front of him. The Dragon Breath hit the Holy Light Shield, and instantly, the shield froze. In the end, it turned into an ice shield before exploding, turning into dust and dissipating in the air. ¡°What a terrifying Dragon Breath,¡± The 9th Prince¡¯s expression changed slightly. Even the Holy Light Shield condensed from the laws of the world had been frozen into dust. One could imagine that if it landed on one¡¯s body, even a King would be turned into dust as well. However, the 9th Prince knew that this Dragon Breath was not something the opponent could easily release. Thus, he wielded his divine sword and soared into the sky, taking the initiative to attack the Black Flood Dragon King again. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The battle between two Qiyao Realm Kings was extremely terrifying. Beams of colorful energy shot out and easily tore the ground apart. They also rushed toward both sides. It landed on the side of the demonic beast army and killed the beasts one by one. Even a Wuxing Realm beast couldn¡¯t take it and die on the spot. On the human side, The Taiyi Holy Lord blocked the attacks and prevented any damage. However, seeing that the 9th Prince was dealing with the Black Flood Dragon King, he could not just sit by and do nothing. This was a great opportunity. The Taiyi Holy Lord descended from the sky and shouted, ¡°Taiyi Thousand Sword Technique!¡± He pointed his sword and performed the peerless offensive sword technique of the Taiyi Holy Land. It was a peerless sword technique created by an ancient Sage of the Jiutian Realm tens of thousands of years ago. As soon as he pointed his sword, thousands of sharp sword lights appeared in the world in an instant and rushed madly toward the army of demonic beasts. In an instant, tens of thousands of demonic beasts were swept by the sword lights, pierced through, and died on the spot. This allowed the human army to let out a sigh of relief. With the two Kings taking action one after another, who knew how many demonic beasts had been killed? This greatly reduced the pressure on them. ¡°Lu Xuan, how dare you make a move!¡± The Black Flood Dragon King was furious, and it unleashed its demonic might. Not only did it attack the 9th Prince, but it also attacked the Taiyi Holy Lord. With this, it was going against two human Kings by itself. It was too strong, and both the 9th Prince and the Taiyi Holy Lord weren¡¯t its opponents in one-on-one battles. They had to work together to fight it. Heaven and Earth cracked. The void exploded as a terrifying battle broke out. On the ground, although the demonic beast army had suffered countless casualties, there was still a steady stream of demonic beasts rushing out of the Demon Valley and killing the human army. Just as the human army was about to put up a desperate fight, Qin Chen made his move. He exhaled a breath of clear air, which transformed into a meteor shower. Each meteor was huge and contained a destructive power. They fell from the sky and bombarded the demonic beast army. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions filled the sky, and the flames wreaked havoc, killing groups of demonic beasts. Chapter 41 - A Venerable? In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of demonic beasts were killed or injured, which was a terrible blow to their army. This scene made the entire human army cheer. It seemed like there were more than two kings, and there was the third one. The Black Flood Dragon King was shocked and furious, but he knew that the ninth prince and Sacred Lord Taiyi were enough to pin it down. It had no other options, so it let out a long howl. Soon, terrifying howls and beast roars came from the demon valley. Four terrifying demon kings appeared, including Tiger King, Ape King, Eagle King, and Crocodile King. They were as powerful as the Black Flood Dragon King and were obviously the other four great demon kings of the demon valley. At this moment, the five demon kings of the demon valley had all arrived. Their demonic might soared to the sky and was terrifying. ¡°Oh no, the five great demon kings of the demon valley are all here!¡± The human army with a million warriors was in complete despair. The Black Flood Dragon King alone had managed to deal with two human kings. They still had one more human king, but how could they be a match for the four great demon kings? This time, the human army might be eliminated here. A general shouted at Qin Chen, who was in the sky, ¡°Mr. Qin, please leave with the Holy Lord and the other gentleman. Don¡¯t sacrifice yourself for us!¡± It was obvious that everyone saw Qin Chen as a King. If he did not leave, he would definitely die while fighting against the five demon kings. ¡°Do you want to leave? It¡¯s too late!¡± Eagle King let out a long howl and spread his wings, which were hundreds of meters long. His demonic aura spread out in all directions as he stared at Qin Chen and the other two, ¡°Eagle King is here. Unless you are a Venerable, or even a peak tier king can never escape from me! ¡± Eagle King was proud of his speed as a bird-type demon king. At least within Qiyao Realm, he was confident that his speed was top ten in the world! Ape King was 100 meters tall and was like a mountain. His entire body was covered in snow-white fur, but his eyes were particularly ferocious and terrifying. He stared at Qin Chen, licked his lips, bared his teeth, and said fiercely, ¡± The Black Flood Dragon King has defeated the two human kings. Leave the last one to me! ¡± ¡°No way! This human is a king, so his flesh must be delicious. I¡¯m going to eat him.¡± Crocodile king, who was as giant as the Black Flood Dragon King king, also opened his six fierce eyes and showed his interest in Qin Chen. Tiger King had a white forehead and a pair of wings on his back. He said coldly, ¡°If we all want that human, let¡¯s attack him together. The one getting him first can enjoy his flesh.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. I am down!¡± Eagle King said. Other than the Black Flood Dragon King, the other four demon kings of the demon valley had their eyes on Qin Chen at the same time. They saw him as their prey and were ready to hunt him down together. Their reaction made the human cultivators who were guarding Zhenyao City feel desperate. How come a human king ended up like this? He was prey in the four great demon kings¡¯ eyes, and all they wanted was to kill and devour him. Among the million-strong army, an experienced human general was sorrowful but motivated. Although he was only in Sixiang Realm, he was fearless in the face of the five great demon kings. He roared, ¡°demon kings of the demon valley, you can¡¯t attack them. They are the human kings of Taiyi Holy Land. if you attack them, Taiyi Holy Land will not let you go. ¡± ¡°Taiyi Holy Land?¡± The four demon kings laughed like lunatics as if they had heard the funniest joke in their life, and their laughter shook the land. Tiger King looked down at the human general with his huge head. As his fierce aura was unparalleled and made the man tremble, he sneered, ¡°Taiyi Holy Land is a joke. It has been in decline for many years. If Demon Valley wants, we can turn that place into ashes right away.¡± The human general tried his best to resist the majesty of the monster king, refused to kneel down, and roared, ¡°No! Taiyi Holy Land has been revived! The undefeatable and almighty Vulnerable has come! ¡± ¡°Venerable?¡± King Crocodile sneered. ¡°That¡¯s just a rumor. Taiyi Holy Land has been in decline for tens of thousands of years, and it took so many years for the demon kings of the Qiyao Realm to create Lu Xuan and a Holy Daughter. How can there be a venerable? ¡± The creatures in Demon Valley had heard that Taiyi Holy Land had Bahuang Realm Vulnerable, but they didn¡¯t believe it. Instead, they just thought it was a rumor. ¡°There¡¯s no need to waste time talking to them. We should just kill the last human king to let them have a taste of despair !¡± Ape King said. His body was huge, but his figure was extremely fast. He came to Qin Chen in an instant and threw his huge ape fist, ruthlessly smashing it towards Qin Chen. The void was distorted, and the attack contained an overwhelming fist power. At the same time, Eagle King, Crocodile king, and Tiger King also attacked at the same time. They all wanted to be the first to kill Qin Chen and win his human-king flesh. Just as the terrifying attacks of the four great demon kings were about to land on Qin Chen¡¯s body, they seemed to foreshadow his body being crushed into pieces. It was impossible for any king in the world to be able to resist the attacks of the four great demon kings. At this moment, the ninth prince, who was fighting against the Black Flood Dragon King, had a mocking expression on his face. ¡°What a bunch of stupid asses.¡± ¡°Poor things!¡± Sacred Lord Taiyi sighed. When the Black Flood Dragon King heard their words, he was somewhat dumbfounded. What did they mean? ¡°Alas, why do you have to attack me? I really don¡¯t want to kill you.¡± At this moment, a helpless voice resounded across the battlefield. All of a sudden, the world fell silent. Just as the terrifying attacks of the four demon kings were about to land on Qin Chen, they suddenly stopped. It seemed that time had stopped! However, the four demon kings were conscious. Their eyes were wide open and filled with horror. That was impossible! The four demon kings realized that the space had been frozen, and they could not move. Even though they activated their demonic powers and pushed their force to the limit, they were still unable to break free from the frozen void. How could this be possible? They were the extraordinary demon kings of the Qiyao Realm, and even the weakest of them had reached level five. Unfortunately, they were trapped in this void at the same time and unable to break free. How powerful a cultivator had to be to make this? Was he a level nine peak tier king? No, he was probably a Venerable in Bahuang Realm! At this moment, the human king that they were playing fighting against at the same time moved. He looked at the four demon kings and said indifferently, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to fight at first. Since you all want to kill me, I have to fight back.¡± ¡°Are¡­ are you a Venerable?¡± The demon kings couldn¡¯t move, but their divine senses still worked and threw the question. All the demon kings looked at Qin Chen. ¡°A venerable?¡± Qin Chen smiled. ¡°Not really. Of course, you could think so! ¡± Not really, but they could think so? What did that mean? At this moment, Qin Chen moved, struck out with one hand, and clashed with Ape King¡¯s fist that could distort the void. However, Ape King could not do anything, for his entire body was frozen by the space. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Everyone could see that Ape King¡¯s house-like giant fist suddenly exploded. In the next second, some crispy sounds came from the thick ape arms, and a terrifying force continuously crawled on his body. In the blink of an eye, the ape¡¯s arm exploded, and he was covered in blood. The void that trapped him was torn apart, and his mountain-like figure flew out and fell into the demonic beast army, causing countless casualties. Chapter 42 - Defeat the Five Great Demon Kings In the next moment, Qin Chen¡¯s palm kept moving and landed on the mark on Tiger King¡¯s forehead. The overwhelming force also made Tiger King fly away and fall into the demonic beast army. After Qin Chen threw another kick, King Crocodile also flew away. Finally, it was Eagle King¡¯s turn, and he could only watch as Qin Chen descended from the sky and landed on his back. With a single stomp, he was like a giant pillar that held up the sky, smashing his huge demonic body to the ground. In an instant, the four intimidating demon kings were all defeated by Qin Chen. In the distance, the Black Flood Dragon King was fighting against the ninth prince and Sacred Lord Taiyi. He was shocked and couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. The four great demon kings were at the same level as him, but they were all injured and defeated immediately. He was stunned when he thought of the rumors about Taiyi Holy Land. ¡± ¡°Are you the Venerable from Taiyi Holy Land?¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he said to the ninth prince, ¡°Watch closely. This is how Heaven Overturning Hand should be like!¡± A giant palm print that covered the sky appeared. It was ten thousand feet long, far more powerful than the one the ninth prince had just activated. With massive power, it slapped down on the Black Flood Dragon King. Boom! Boom! The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s thousands-of-foot body was slammed down from the sky like Eagle King, which caused a scary crack and a huge on the ground. The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s body had been shattered into pieces in the pit¡¯s depths. His blood flowed like a stream, so his internal qi was weak and severely injured. The human army had been in despair, but they all looked at this scene with dumbfounded expressions. The five demon kings were famous for the notorious death gods, but they were so vulnerable in front of the human king. Within a few seconds, they were all severely injured. No one had expected this result, and they wouldn¡¯t have believed it if they hadn¡¯t seen it with their own eyes. The ninth prince was rather impressed with Qin Chen¡¯s Heaven Overturning Hand. He used the same technique, but there was a great difference between their powers. It wasn¡¯t just about their cultivation level but also their interpretation of Heaven Overturning Hand. The ninth prince was only in Qiyao Realm. Even if he was extremely talented, his understanding of a Venerable-level supernormal knowledge like Heaven Overturning Hand was just the tip of the iceberg. However, this technique had become part of Qin Chen, which was why he could demonstrate such overwhelming power. Sacred Lord Taiyi let out a sigh of relief, for he was used to this. After all, Elder King had been an ultimate expert who could easily kill the demonic venerable, Yang Tiancheng, not to mention the five great demon kings. Although the five demon kings were severely injured, their lives were not in danger. They rose up from the ground again, but their eyes were filled with fear and respect when they looked at Qin Chen. They finally felt how powerful Qin Chen was and understood that it was not a rumor that Taiyi Holy Land had a Venerable. ¡°Please accept our admiration, Venerable!¡± The five demon kings were no longer as fierce as before. Instead, they bowed their heads to Qin Chen as a sign of respect. ¡°Why don¡¯t we just kill them?¡± the ninth prince suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s end this. ¡± The five demon kings¡¯ expressions changed, and they hurriedly said, ¡°You can¡¯t kill us.¡± ¡°Oh? tell me, why not?¡± Qin Chen did not plan to kill the five demon kings because he wanted to tame them. Imagine riding on a demon king while going out. How cool would that be? However, after hearing the five demon kings ¡®responses, he was also curious. ¡°If you kill us, the master of Demon Valley will be furious,¡± Tiger King said. ¡°Till then, the entire human race will be the target of the demons ¡®revenge, and I believe that the human race would not want to see that. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s just Demon Valley. Why should we be afraid? If you want to start a war, Great Qin Dynasty will send troops to level the place,¡± the ninth prince replied coldly. ¡°Great Qin Dynasty!¡± the five great demon kings looked at the ninth prince in shock, for only now did they realize how distinguished the ninth prince¡¯s identity was. It was an empire that inherited power from the great emperor, which meant its abilities were beyond imagination. Demon Valley was no match for its army. ¡°So you¡¯re the king of Great Qin Dynasty,¡± King Crocodile said. ¡°We¡¯ve gone too far earlier. If the war starts, Great Qin Dynasty might be able to destroy Demon Valley. However, the owner of Demon Valley is a demonic Venerable at Bahuang Realm. I¡¯m afraid that even Great Qin Dynasty would not want revenge from a demonic.¡± ¡°A demonic Venerable at Bahuang Realm!¡± the ninth prince and Sacred Lord Taiyi were shocked. Qin Chen, publicly recognized as a Venerable at Bahuang Realm, could bring Taiyi Holy Land to another level and make it as strong as other immortal inheritances. If the owner was a demonic Venerable at Bahuang Realm, it meant he also had great power. Even an immortal divine dynasty wouldn¡¯t want to mess around with him. ¡°How do you prove that there is a demonic Venerable in Demon Valley?¡± the ninth prince asked. ¡°I am the proof. He is my father,¡± the Black Flood Dragon King said with a proud face. As the descendant of a demonic Venerable, his status was distinguished. Hearing this, the ninth prince and Sacred Lord Taiyi both had solemn faces. The Black Flood Dragon King looked at Qin Chen. ¡°Human Venerable, you are indeed very strong. We have paid the price for invading human territory, and we can¡¯t blame anyone for our heavy injuries. However, you can¡¯t kill us. If my father finds out, he¡¯ll definitely sense it from the deepest part of Demon Valley and come out. Till then, even if you¡¯re a Venerable at Bahuang Real, you¡¯ll still have to die!¡± ¡°You seem to have a lot of confidence in your father,¡± Qin Chen said, looking at the king. ¡°Of course I am. My father is not just a demonic Venerable, but he¡¯s a dragon!¡± the Black Flood Dragon King raised his head arrogantly. The ninth prince and Sacred Lord Taiyi were shocked. Dealing with a Black Mizuchi demonic Venerable was already challenging, for it was stronger than Venerables of the same level. However, a Venerable from the dragon race was way stronger than that. Immemorial Dragon was a Supreme who could compete with the ancient great emperors. The dragon race was the descendant of the Immemorial Dragon, just like the imperial clan. Those who had dragon blood were extraordinary demons, not to mention the legit dragon race. The true dragon¡¯s bloodline was unusually strong, which also made their strength far superior to those of the same rank. ¡°A Venerable from the dragon race!¡± Qin Chen was also emotional. As the owner of Chaotic Holy Body, he had been superior to his peers. He had never encountered an opponent of the same level, for others pushed their limit to be reached the realms. If he was lucky enough, he was still eager to fight a Venerable from the dragon race. He wanted to see if a Dragon Venerable could be stronger than him. ¡°That¡¯s why you can¡¯t kill me, and you can¡¯t even continue to attack me,¡± said the Black Flood Dragon King. It was my bad to provoke you earlier, but my father will be displeased and attack you if you don¡¯t leave me alone.¡± Although Sacred Lord Taiyi wanted to kill the Black Flood Dragon King and the other four great demon kings to avoid future trouble, he was worried when he learned that there was a Dragon Venerable in Demon Valley. Hearing the Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s words, he looked at Qin Chen and shook his head. ¡°Qin Chen,¡± the ninth prince also said, ¡°Let them go. we can¡¯t keep attacking. ¡± The Black Flood Dragon King said to the other four demon kings, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± When the five demon kings turned around and were about to leave, Qin Chen said coldly, ¡°Wait, who said you could leave like this?¡± Chapter 43 - To Be a Dragon Knight The five demon kings wanted to leave, but Qin Chen didn¡¯t want them to. ¡°Human Venerable, ¡± the Black Flood Dragon King turned around and frowned. ¡°Do you really want to start a war with Demon Valley until one of us dies? Do you want to make my father show up? ¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly, ¡°Demon Valley was the one that started the war at the beginning. You are defeated, so you want to leave just like that? You should stay! Taiyi Holy Land needs a demonic beast now, and I think the five of you will be handy for us!¡± Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince looked at Qin Chen with their mouths agape. They thought, ¡°I am impressed with Elder King. He actually managed to tame the five demon kings. ¡± However, Qin Chen thought to himself, ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find five decent demonic beasts, especially the Black Flood Dragon King. It looks like a dragon. If i tame it and ride it, I¡¯ll be a proper dragon knight. It¡¯ll be so cool.¡± ¡°Human Venerable, you¡­¡± Qin Chen took the lead without waiting for the five demon kings to speak. After raising his hand, he sent the five demon kings¡¯ giant bodies crashing into Myriad Demon Mountain Range. In an instant, the majestic mountain range collapsed for dozens of miles again, causing the gap to grow. In a flash, Qin Chen appeared on top of the Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s head. The king couldn¡¯t resist his terrifying power, and he said coldly, ¡°From now on, you are my mount. If you dare to resist, I will immediately kill you. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try.¡± The Black Flood Dragon King wanted to break free, but when he met Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, which were filled with a merciless and absolute coldness, he was instantly shocked. The intuition of the demon race had always been very accurate, and as a royal demonic beast, the Black Flood Dragon King was even better. He felt that this Human Venerable would definitely kill him if he dared to resist. Although the Black Flood Dragon King did not dare to resist, he still said, ¡°Human Venerable, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to be your mount. You¡¯ve enslaved me, so my father will definitely kill you.¡± He didn¡¯t want to surrender, so he used his father¡¯s reputation to threaten Qin Chen. ¡°I want to meet your father as well to know how powerful the legendary Dragon Venerable is!¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Qin Chen in disbelief, for he had never thought that this Human Venerable would dare to provoke his father. ¡°Stay here. I¡¯m going to Demon Valley,¡± Qin Chen said to Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince. ¡°Elder King,¡± Sacred Lord Taiyi said worriedly, ¡°but there¡¯s a Dragon Venerable in Demon Valley ¡­¡± An ordinary Demon Venerable was superior to a human in terms of physical strength, not to mention a Demon Venerable of the dragon race. Not only physically, but he was also far superior to humans in all aspects. Sacred Lord Taiyi was worried about Elder King. Although Elder King was a Venerable, he didn¡¯t think that he was a match for the Demon Venerable of the dragon race. The ninth prince also looked at him with worry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I know what I am doing,¡± Qin Chen said calmly. Back then, when he had been at the peak of Qiyao Realm, he could have already fought against a Bahuang Venerable. What was more, he even had managed to kill the demonic venerable, Yang Tiancheng, who had been trapped for 3000 years. In the past three years, the ninth prince, Ling Ran, and the others had advanced by leaps and bounds, so how could he not have improved at all? Right now, he had truly reached the Path-seeking stage. Entering the Path-seeking stage meant breaking through all the chains and setting on the journey of a great path aura. Once someone was in this stage, his or her strength would greatly increase. At this point, the Path-seeking stage had made Qin Chen ten times stronger than before. Defeating an ordinary Venerable was like a walk in the park for him! As Qin Chen looked at the four demon kings, his eyes turned cold and contained a great aura. ¡°Stay here, the four of you. If I return and find that you continue to invade the human territory, I will kill you immediately.¡± The four demon kings could understand what he meant, so they didn¡¯t say a word. However, instead of being afraid, they looked at Qin Chen as if he was a clown. They all believed this Human Venerable would not be able to return alive from Demon Valley. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Take me to see your father,¡± Qin Chen ordered. The Black Flood Dragon King had no choice but to follow his instruction. In fact, he also hoped that his father could kill this arrogant Human Venerable so that he could be set free. The Black Flood Dragon King rode on a cloud, carrying Qin Chen across the collapsed Myriad Demon Mountain Range and entering Demon Valley. Demon Valley was called a valley, but it was vast and boundless. It was a land of millions of mountains, and countless demonic beasts lived there. Since ancient times, this place had always been an area in Southern Desolate Lands being controlled by the demon race. Humans rarely came here, for they didn¡¯t want to provoke them. The Black Flood Dragon King brought Qin Chen, who had requested to visit, across the vast sky at a very fast speed. Soon, they crossed a million kilometers and arrived at the deepest part of Demon Valley. There was an extremely lofty mountain, which could be called the king and emperor of the mountains. It was majestic, towering and piercing through the clouds as if it could be seen in the universe. Qin Chen looked closely and saw many huge caves in the mountain, which were dark and pitch-black as if they were passages to another world. There were only a few demonic beasts within a radius of 10,000 kilometers of this mountain, but it seemed that something sleeping there was emitting a majestic aura. ¡°This mountain is not impressive¡­¡± Qin Chen was surprised, and his intuition told him something extraordinary was there. The Black Flood Dragon King carried Qin Chen to the mountain and said, ¡°Human Venerable, this is the core of Demon Valley, and my father is here. Please wait a moment. ¡± The Black Flood Dragon King immediately roared at the mountain. Within a second, the weather changed, and a terrifying mist spread out from the mountain. Everything within tens of thousands of miles fell into silence when the clouds appeared as if a greater power was wakened. Without a sound, the clouds and mist covered the sky and made a radius of hundreds of kilometers gloomy. Qin Chen could see that a massive demon figure peeked out from the clouds. It looked like the Black Flood Dragon King but much larger than him, and its massive body brought tremendous pressure causing all the demon beasts in the world to fall into absolute fear. No one dared to make a sound. Qin Chen could feel a terrifying aura coming out of the clouds, which was beyond his imagination and much stronger than any enemy he had faced in the past. ¡°Father!¡± The Black Flood Dragon King lowered his head to the intimidating figure as a sign of respect. Qin Chen slowly rose from the head of the Black Flood Dragon King, stood in the air, and looked at the figure. Two huge red flames appeared like bloody suns, and they looked down at him from above, carrying an undescribable might. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a Human Venerable to come from the outside world. It¡¯s impressive that the human race still has a Venerable. ¡± ¡°Are¡­ are you the demonic Venerable of the dragon race?¡± Qin Chen looked him in the eye. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me,¡± the huge figure said. Its true appearance was hidden in the clouds, so Qim Chen barely saw its face. However, he could tell that it was a dragon that was similar to the Black Flood Dragon King but much larger and more powerful. The Black Flood Dragon King roared a few times as if he was speaking. Qin Chen could not understand it, but he knew that it might be the language of the demons. A moment later, the dragon race¡¯s demonic venerable looked at Qin Chen and said in a low and majestic voice, ¡°Human Venerable, if you want to enslave my son, it¡¯s means you are declaring a war to Demon Valley. However, they were the one provoking you first. If you leave, I won¡¯t make things difficult for you. Also, I can pretend like nothing happened. What do you say?¡± Chapter 44 - Kindness Does Exist The Black Flood Dragon King was slightly taken aback and puzzled. His father was not only the undefeatable but from the dragon race, so this Human Venerable was definitely no match for him once he made a move. Why did he let him leave and promise that he would pretend as if nothing had happened? This was not his father¡¯s style. However, he did not know that the Dragon Venerable was confident in defeating the Human Venerable. On the other hand, he was aware of how powerful a Bahung Realm Venerable could be. If Qin Chen really wanted to leave, nobody could stop him. Furthermore, it would be complicated to have beef with a Venerable, so the Dragon Venerable would rather make peace. ¡°No!¡± Qin Chen refused immediately. ¡°The demon race invaded the human territory and caused countless casualties. Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Lord almost died, so I can¡¯t just let him go.¡± ¡°So you want to start a war?¡± The Demon Venerable from the dragon race¡¯s voice suddenly turned low, and the demonic aura it brought made the void freeze. The Black Flood Dragon King looked at Qin Chen with a sneer. ¡°If you leave now, you might be able to survive. How dare you reject my father¡¯s wishes? Do you want to die here?¡± he thought. ¡°That¡¯s right, I want to start a war.¡± Qin Chen did not hold back at all, stared at the dragon Demon Venerable with a burning gaze, and said, ¡°It¡¯s said that the dragon race is invincible in the world, and you inherite the great bloodline of Immemorial Dragon. You are like the imperial race, invincible compared to those in the same realm. I really want to know if the rumors are true, and that¡¯s why I really want to fight you.¡± Of course, fighting was not Qin Chen¡¯s priority. He would more like to tame and win a mount back home. Riding on a real dragon would definitely be much more impressive than riding on the Black Flood Dragon King. ¡°Very good. If you want, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish.¡± The huge figure suddenly disappeared. When it showed up again, it became a burly middle-aged man with two dragon horns on his head and dark golden eyes. Apparently, he had been born to be extraordinary. The dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable directly revealed his human form, and his body emitted a noble aura as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve been asleep for many years, and I didn¡¯t know there was new Venerable in the world. However, you¡¯re quite unfamiliar, and you look to be quite young. Which immortal inheritance do you come from? ¡± As he spoke, he also attacked. Unlike the other demon kings, the dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable attacked with powerful blood energy. A dragon fist struck out, causing a large area of the void to collapse. The next second, a pitch-black spatial crack that was ten feet wide spread out for dozens of miles with terrifying power. Boom! Boom! The sky fell, and the earth collapsed. Once the Demon Venerable of the dragon race attacked, its power was beyond imagination and gave Qin Chen a sense of pressure that he had never experienced. Even Yang Tiancheng, the demonic venerable who had been born, was far not as powerful as the Dragon Venerable. After all, the demonic venerable Yang Tiancheng had been trapped for three thousand years, and his divine power had long been exhausted. That was why he had lost his power while the dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable in front of him was at his peak. Furthermore, he was a dragon, which was even more terrifying. However, Qin Chen was not afraid at all. Ever since he had broken through Bahung Realm, he felt that he was more than ten times stronger than before. It was a good time to test how strong he was now. Qin Chen laughed and threw a punch at the dragon. Boom! The two fists collided and tore open the void right away as if it was as fragile as paper. Layers of formless squalls rippled out, tearing apart the void and sending the Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s giant body away in the sky. The dragon clan¡¯s Demon Venerable was slightly shocked as if he did not expect the Human Venerable to be so powerful that he could face him head-on. However, he had only displayed part of his skills. At this moment, with a long roar, his dragon bloodline boiled, and his arms were covered with dragon scales. After he let out a roar, the power of his punch dramatically increased as he attacked Qin Chen again. Even a ninth-level peak-tier King would be blown up by this punch, which meant an ordinary Bahuang Venerabe should be destroyed. ¡°Nice try!¡± Qin Chen howled and also threw a punch. The two fists collided in an instant, tearing apart the void. It was terrifying. The two moved swiftly like lightning, constantly attacking each other. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Their speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had crashed hundreds of times. Each collision easily destroyed the void, but it quickly recovered. ¡°How can this human be so strong?!¡± the dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable was shocked as he fought. He was a member of the dragon race and had the bloodline of Immemorial Dragon in his body, which made him almost undefeatable. Moreover, it had been in Bahunag Real for a while, so his massive power allowed him to ruin an ancient city with one punch. However, this Human Venerable was actually able to fight him head-on, which proved his shocking power. At the same time, Qin Chen thought to himself, ¡°He was indeed a Demon Venerable of the dragon clan, very strong. I didn¡¯t expect him to fight me head-on. That¡¯s impressive. ¡± Over the years, Qin Chen had successfully reached Path-seeking and Bahung Real. With the top body type in the universe, Chaotic Holy Body, and Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s Chaotic Imperial Sutra, Qin Chen¡¯s body was definitely the strongest among his peers. Even a Sage from Jiutian Realm couldn¡¯t defeat him. He hadn¡¯t expected the physical body of this dragon clan¡¯s Demon Venerable to be so strong, and now he finally witnessed the power of the legendary dragon race. In the legends, Immemorial Dragon could have competed with the ancient emperors. Boom! Boom! At this moment, they had been fighting for a while. Qin Chen was actually the one flying backward, and he was an underdog. He had tried his best. In terms of the realm, the Dragon Venerable was stronger. Obviously, he had reached Bahunag Realm for years, so a newbie like Qin Chen was no match for him. The dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable¡¯s expression turned serious. This Human Venerable was unexpectedly powerful and could fight against him for this long, which was unusual. Of course, it was also because he attacked in human form and did not use his full strength. ¡°Take it! Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger!¡± Suddenly, Qin Chen shouted and activated an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. In an instant, the rules of heaven and earth surged madly and condensed into a giant finger in the sky. It was thousands of feet tall and carried the great path aura, and it fell from the sky to blast toward the Dragon Venerable. ¡°It¡¯s an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge!¡± The Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s expression changed. This Human Venerable had actually mastered this ultimate supernormal knowledge! ¡°Damn!¡± The dragon race¡¯s Demon Venerable expression changed slightly. Boom! As the giant finger fell, the dragon clan¡¯s Demon Venerable was like a speck of dust. Golden blood sprayed out of his body, and he fell heavily to the ground. He had been severely injured. A huge pit appeared on the ground, and cracks appeared, intertwining the ground for dozens of miles. In the deepest part of the pit, the Demon Venerable of the dragon race lay there in a pathetic state. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Qin Chen in the sky with disbelief. Who was this Human Venerable? He had actually managed to hurt him by a physical collision. If this news spread, it would definitely shock the world. The Black Flood Dragon King was also in disbelief that his father had been injured. He was a peerless dragon with the immortal body of the dragon race, so he shouldn¡¯t have been injured. ¡°I thought that the dragon race was very strong, but it seems it¡¯s just a rumor,¡± Qin Chen shook his head and said in disappointment. However, after carefully thinking about it, he realized he shouldn¡¯t have thought so. It wasn¡¯t that the dragon clan¡¯s Demon Venerable wasn¡¯t strong enough. On the contrary, finding an opponent at the same level was hard. It was just a pity that he met him, an even more outstanding person. It seemed that even in Bahuang Real, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to find a compatible opponent. He looked at the dragon Demon Venerable and said, ¡°Kindness does exist in this world. I don¡¯t want to kill you. How about from now on, Demon Valley will serve Taiyi Holy Land?¡± Chapter 45 - Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist Although Taiyi Holy Land had some hope of revival, it had been in decline for too long. Other than him, there were only two kings in Qiyao Realm, Sacred Lord Taiyi and Ling Ran. They couldn¡¯t compete with other immortal holy lands, aristocratic families, and ancient dynasties. Of course, if Demon Valley joined Taiyi Holy Land, they would have a few more kings in Qiyao Realm and demon kings. Moreover, there was also a Dragon Venerable in Bahunag Realm, which was far stronger than an ordinary Venerable. He would greatly increase the strength of the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, Qin Chen still wanted to enjoy some peace in Taiyi Holy Land. As Elder King, he couldn¡¯t deal with everything by himself, so it was necessary to recruit a lackey. The demonic Venerable of the dragon race was his ideal lackey. When there was trouble, he could ask the dragon race¡¯s demon Venerable to come to solve it. If he had nothing to do, he could also ride a Dragon Venerable out, which would be very impressive. Although the dragon race¡¯s demonic Venerable was hurt, his injury was not serious. He soared into the sky and said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s impossible, Demon Valley would never join a human¡¯s¡­ ¡± Boom! Qin Chen struck out and landed a punch on the body of the demonic Venerable of the dragon race. Instantly, his entire body was once again sunk into the ground. Qin Chen never liked to waste too much time talking! The demonic Venerable of the dragon race was furious. He revealed his true form, which was tens of thousands of feet long. The black scales on his body were as huge as houses, much larger than the Black Flood Dragon King. The demonic aura that emanated from his body was even stronger as he charged toward Qin Chen. The true form of the dragon race¡¯s demon Venerable was far stronger than its human form. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a terrifying Dragon Breath. His Dragon Breath was far more terrifying than the Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s. The space within a hundred miles radius turned cold, and a bitter chill attacked Qin Chen as if it was about to freeze everything in the world. However, this pitch-black Dragon Breath was still dashing towards Qin Chen. Before Qin Chen could react, he was hit by the Dragon Breath. He only felt that his entire body was frozen, including his divine sense. He was frozen into a piece of profound ice and about to explode. ¡°Stupid human,¡± the Dragon Venerable said coldly, ¡°you may be strong, but my Dragon Breath is as powerful as an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, which was from the universe. No matter how strong you are, Dragon Breath could tear your body into¡­¡± Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, a blazing chaotic light emerged from the black ice fog that was filled with Dragon Breath. Qin Chen¡¯s figure rushed out from it. His body was covered in ice shards, revealing his true appearance©¤©¤ a beautiful twenty-year-old man. The Dragon Veverable and the Black Flood Dragon King were dumbfounded. How come the Human Venerable was not dead? ¡°Damn it! That was so cold!¡± Qin Chen felt a bone-chilling coldness, and his body trembled. However, Chaotic Divine Power in his body was circulating, driving away the intense coldness. He looked at the demonic Venerable of the dragon race with a murderous look. This was the first time he had revealed such a strong killing intent towards a creature of this world. If he hadn¡¯t had Chaotic Holy Body and cultivated Chaotic Imperial Sutra, which made him undefeatable and able to transfer into any form, he might have been frozen to death by Dragon Breath. ¡°He¡¯s still alive!¡± The dragon race¡¯s demonic Venerable was dumbfounded, for he knew how powerful his Dragon Breath was. It was enough to kill a Venerable, but it was blocked by Qin Chen. ¡°No, his body is¡­¡± soon, the dragon race¡¯s demonic Venerable was shocked and looked at Qin Chen. ¡°It¡¯s the legendary Chaotic Holy Body, the invincible physique like Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He does exist and has cultivated to Bahung Realm. It¡¯s unbelievable! ¡± Chaotic Holy Body was known as the number one body type in the world. Even the ancient great emperors were shocked at the ultimate power of this body type. Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had been undefeatable and powerful. He had even suppressed other ancient great emperors during his lifetime, and his cultivation had reached an immeasurable level. ¡°Yes, I have the Chaotic Holy Body.¡± Qin Chen did not deny it. At this point, there was no need to hide anything. Moreover, he was no longer the cultivator who could not activate his divine sea. He was already a Bahuang Realm Venerable, the world¡¯s supreme ruler. No, he was confident enough and not afraid, even if the secret of his Chaotic Holy Body was exposed. ¡°In this life, there¡¯s one more ancient emperor from the human race,¡± the Dragon Venerable exclaimed. Ever since the death of Emperor Qing, the rules of heaven and earth had changed greatly. Not many Venerables in Bahunag Realm could survive Path-seeking. What was more, there were no more Sages from Jiutian Realm, let alone ancient emperors. No one had been born after Emperor Qing. The world was about to recover, another Chaotic Holy Body had appeared in the human race, and he had reached Bahuang Realm. This man was highly likely to become an ancient emperor. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely become a great emperor. However, before that, you really caused me to get frostbite just now. I am not happy with that.¡± Qin Chen glared at the dragon demonic Venerable and charged at him like lightning. ¡°You have the Chaotic Holy Body, so what?¡± the Dragon Venerable snorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve only just entered Bahuang Realm, but I¡¯ve reached this level for 300 years. You are no match for me!¡± The dragon¡¯s blood boiled as the body of the dragon race¡¯s demonic Venerable shrank rapidly, turning into a black dragon that was only 70 feet long. He was more than a thousand times smaller than before. However, the smaller it was, the stronger he became. The massive amount of energy was concentrated in such a tiny body, making it even more powerful. With every move, the void trembled as if it was about to explode. The Dragon Venerable was unprecedentedly powerful in its original form. It fought with Qin Chen in close combat and was terrifying, tearing the void apart. Qin Chen was shocked. He couldn¡¯t gain the upper hand in a close-range fight with the Dragon Venerable because the dragon¡¯s shrunken and condensed dragon body was too overwhelming. After his Chaotic Holy Body entered Bahunag Realm, many Juitian Sages couldn¡¯t fight against him. What he didn¡¯t know was that the Dragon Venerable was also shocked. He had been in Bahuang Realm for hundreds of years and was a dragon. He was born with a strong body, so he didn¡¯t expect this human Venerable¡¯s body to be so intimidating. Was this the terrifying part of the legendary Chaotic Holy Body? ¡°Demi-Gods and Semi-Devi, Divine Dragon Tail¡± The Dragon Venerable was using the legendary supreme Holy Technique that belonged to Immemorial Dragon, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devi! Demi-Gods and Semi-Devi¡¯s every move was as powerful as an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. It could run anyone¡¯s blood cold, and only a true dragon could perform it. Only the dragon race could cultivate this technique, for it had originated from the dragon¡¯s bloodline memory. Divine Dragon Tail looked simple, but it contained the real great path of the universe. As the tail swept, the void collapsed, and it crashed toward Qin Chen. ¡°Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist!¡± Qin Chen also used the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, which he had obtained after checking in. It was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge by the ancient great emperors, and it had come along with Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger. Chapter 46 - The Check in Reward Boom! The sky and land within a hundred miles exploded as if they had been hit by a meteor. It was the terrifying power of the collision between two Bahuang Realm Venerables. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! After half a day of intense battle, the Dragon Venerable could not hold on any longer. He was exhausted, and his form turned back to a few thousand feet long. He panted heavily, looked at Qin Chen, who was still full of energy and not even panting, and could not help but curse. Was he seriously a human? They had already fought for half a day, but why was he still fine? ¡°That¡¯s all?¡± Qin Chen rushed forward, grabbed the dragon¡¯s tail, and smashed it on the ground while shouting, ¡°Are you joining Taiyi Holy Land? If the answer is no, I¡¯ll ask and smash your tail again until you change your mind.¡± The ground was constantly being smashed into a terrifying pit, and dust soared into the sky. The area within hundreds of miles had long been destroyed. In the end, the Dragon Venerable revealed his human form and begged for mercy. ¡°I¡¯m willing to serve Taiyi Holy Land. Demon Valley will be yours. Stop fighting.¡± Dragon Venerable¡¯s face was red and swollen, and he no longer looked as majestic and powerful as before. His eyes had turned black. If he did not beg for mercy, all his bones would be broken by Qin Chen. He was battered up, which made him look rather pathetic. ¡°You should have said yes the first time I asked you.¡± Qin Chen pouted. The Black Flood Dragon King king saw his father¡¯s usually dignified face had now become injured and wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to. He could only turn his head and laugh in a low voice. The demonic Venerable of the dragon race glared at the Black Flood Dragon King king, turned to Qin Chen, and said respectfully, ¡°Human Venerable, erm, how should I address you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land. You can call me Elder King in the future.¡± Qin Chen hadn¡¯t revealed his true identity to avoid any unnecessary trouble. ¡°Taiyi Holy Land is so lucky,¡± The Dragon Venerable murmured. ¡°How do they suddenly have an Elder King who has the legendary Chaotic Holy Body.¡± [This place has been detected to have a strong divinity. Would you like to check in here? ] Suddenly, the system¡¯s unique electronic and cold voice came to his mind. Qin Chen was slightly taken aback. This place was actually notified of a strong divinity. Usually, such a system notification would only be given to an absolutely extraordinary place, such as the place where Chaotic Heavenly Emperor left his footprints, Demon Sealing Land, the great Emperor¡¯s palace, and so on. What kind of place was this mountain in front of him? It actually had this kind of system prompting message. He immediately confirmed the check-in without hesitation. [Congratulations, you have obtained the reward ¡®increasing three levels¡¯! ] Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Qin Chen had just entered Bahuang Real and had only reached the second heaven after a few years of cultivation. However, his combat strength was far beyond his peers in the same realm because of his Chaotic Holy Body. He could fight against and even suppress the Dragon Venerable, and now, he was three levels higher. His speed of improvement was pretty overwhelming. In the outside world, the Dragon Venerable suddenly felt an overwhelming aura erupting from the Human Venerable in front of him. It was very intimidating and far beyond what it had been before, which made him shocked. He had thought that the Venerable of the human race was already at his strongest state when he could beat him up, and he did not expect that he had only used a small portion of his power. Fortunately, he hadn¡¯t chosen to resist, or he would have been screwed up. Qin Chen was also very surprised. Although he had been rewarded with countless treasures since he had obtained the check-in system, such as Chaotic Holy Body, Chaotic Imperial Sutra, Divine Spirit Source, and emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it was the first time he had been rewarded with a direct increase in cultivation. Moreover, it was about three levels. It was common in the world of cultivation that one¡¯s cultivation speed would inevitably become slower and slower as one reached the later stages. Qin Chen had been at the peak of Qiyao Realm for many years, and he had only reached the second level a few years after reaching Bahuang Realm because of the divine pills and spirit stones. However, his progress should have gradually slowed down, which was inevitable. However, the system had upgraded him by three levels. It meant that he had transferred from level two to level five of Bahuang Realm. Qin Chen¡¯s strength had increased by a large degree. It was not just a double increase, but several times. He had to use all his strength to suppress the Dragon Venerable, but he could easily do it now. This place was a blessed land. Qin Chen looked at the towering mountain and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What is this place? This must be an extraordinary mountain.¡± The Dragon Venerable replied, ¡°Elder King, this is Heavenly Dragon Mountain, one of the ancestral mountains of the dragon race. However, my ancestor, an Immemorial Dragon man, moved it here and made it the ancestral land of Demon Valley. It is said that this here was once one of Immemorial Dragons¡¯ nests.¡± ¡°I got it. It¡¯s Immemorial Dragon¡¯s nest.¡± Qin Chen finally understood. In the primordial era, all the races and paths reached their peaks, and that was why many ancient emperors were born during this time. The dragon race had always been very powerful and never stopped creating new Immortal Dragons. There was even a period of time when several of them coexisted in one world, which was also the golden age of the dragon race. Immortal Dragons were as powerful as the ancient emperors, not to mention the dragon nest. It was even more remarkable as it contained the divine aura of Immortal Dragons, no wonder Qin Chen directly advanced to three levels higher when he checked in. Since it was such a blessed land, he wondered if he could directly move to Taiyi Holy Land and check in every day. If he could directly advance three levels every day, even one or two could make him a Jiutian Realm Sage in a few days. £×hen Qin Chen thought of this, he was more and more excited, looked at the Dragon Venerable, and said, ¡°Erm, I have a question for you.¡± ¡°How can I help you, Elder King?¡± the Dragon Venerable replied carefully. It had a feeling that Elder King seemed to be planning something bad. Qin Chen pointed at the mountain and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been bored living in the courtyard recently, so I want to stay in a hilltop villa. Well, I mean a hilltop manor, so I want to move this dragon nest back. You should be fine with that, right? ¡± The Dragon Venerable almost fainted, for he realized Elder King wasn¡¯t kidding. He really wanted to move the entire dragon nest back, but he hurriedly stopped him. ¡°Elder King, you can¡¯t do that. I¡¯m not the only one in Heavely Dragon Mountain. There are other sleeping ancestors in there, including Divine Dragon of Jutian Realm. ¡± Chapter 47 - Let Me Follow You ¡°Is there really a Dragon Sage in Juitian Realm realm sleeping?¡± Qin Chen looked at the Dragon venerable in disbelief. Why would this guy still surrender to Taiyi Holy Land if the Dragon Sage was here? Once the Dragon Sage appeared, Qin Chen would have to run no matter how powerful he was. The Dragon Venerable seemed a little embarrassed, as if knowing what Qin Chen was thinking. He rubbed his hands and said, ¡°Elder King, your cultivation is extraordinary. Also, you have Chaotic Holy Body, the same constitution as the legendary Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. I want to follow you and cultivate with you. ¡± It turned out that the Dragon Venerable had seen Qin Chen¡¯s potential. Although he was very young, his cultivation was very profound. Moreover, he had Chaotic Holy Body, which represented unlimited potential. He might be able to become an emperor and the master of this world in the future. Dragon Venerable even suspected that Qin Chen was a descendant of Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He was so young, yet he was already in a high realm and had mastered many emperor-grade divine powers. If he followed him, he might have a chance to become an emperor one day as well. It was said that Chaotic Heavenly Emperor continued to break through after entering the Emperor Realm, and he had once said that this realm wasn¡¯t the end. There had been other great emperors following him back then. Dragon Venerable saw Qin Chen¡¯s potential, which was why he hoped to follow him and reach Emperor Realm one day, just like how the ancient emperors followed Chaotic Heavenly Emperor in the past. ¡°You got a nice plan for yourself, huh?¡± Qin Chen glanced at Dragon Venerable, looked at the dragon nest mountain in disappointment, and sighed. He wanted to move it back to Taiyi Holy Land and check in every day to improve his cultivation. Like this, he could become a great emperor. However, he realized that he was indeed not a match for the Dragon Sage of Juitian Realm after thinking about it, so he could only give up. He thought about it and decided to try to check in here more often in the future. Qin Chen looked at Heavenly Dragon Mountain reluctantly and said to the Dragon Venerable and the Black Flood Dragon King, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡­ At the gap of Myriad Demon Mountain Range, Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince were waiting worriedly and thinking why Elder King (the 17th brother) hadn¡¯t returned after a long time. Did something really happen? Although they were very worried, they did not dare to head to Demon Valley. If Elder King (the 17th brother) couldn¡¯t return, it was even more impossible for them. That was why they chose not to dig their own grave. On the other side, Ape King, who was over a thousand feet tall and had a body like a mountain, looked at the worries on their faces. He immediately sneered, revealing a mouth full of ferocious fangs. ¡°Stop waiting for him. The Dragon Venerable has eaten that Human Venerable! Give him some time to digest, alright?¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Sacred Lord Taiyi was anxious. ¡± Elder King is an invincible Venerable, so he¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± Eagle King also sneered and said, ¡°Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King is a Venerable. What about our Lord Dragon of Demon Valley? He is also a Vulnerable, right? Also, Lord Dragon is from the dragon race. Ordinary Venerables of the same level can¡¯t be a match for Lord Dragon!¡± ¡°Impossible, Elder King will definitely be fine,¡± the ninth prince retorted. Although he trusted his 17th brother, he was still extremely worried. Nobody knew what the situation was like now. ¡°Instead of thinking about your friend, you should worry about yourselves.¡± Tiger King grinned, stared at the two as if he was staring at some delicious food, stuck out his bloody tongue, and said, ¡°If the Human Venerable can¡¯t come out, all of you will stay and die with him. We will eat you up. ¡± Crocodile King also stared at the two of them, licking his scary white teeth. Suddenly, they saw two huge dragon-like figures flying in the sky from the direction of Demon Valley, one big and one small. They arrived at Myriad Demon Mountain Range the next second, casting a large shadow. ¡°What¡­ what is going¡­¡± Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince looked at the two dragons, especially the terrifying dragon that was thousands of feet long. His body was like a huge mountain range as he moved between the clouds. Moreover, he covered the sky and gave off a terrifying aura that made them feel too stressed to breathe. Dragon Venerable! The demonic venerable of Demon Valley! Seeing the appearance of Dragon Venerable, the four demon kings immediately lowered their proud heads respectfully and said, ¡°Lord Dragon!¡± Lord Dragon was what they called the Dragon Venerable. ¡°Lord Dragon?¡± The expressions of Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince changed when they saw Dragon Venerable. Elder King (the 17th brother) seriously didn¡¯t make it? Had he been eaten? Sacred Lord Taiyi looked at the Dragon Lord and felt a strong sense of pressure, but he still asked, ¡°Lord Dragon of Demon Valley, may I ask where is our Elder King?¡± As the ninth prince looked at the Dragon Venerable fearlessly, he even released the qi of the Great Qin Dynasty to intimidate Demon Valley. ¡°Haha, I am sure he¡¯s in Lord Dragon¡¯s belly.¡± Ape King stood next to him and sneered. Compared to Lord Dragon, he was like a little ant. Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince¡¯s expressions changed. Had Qin Chen been eaten for real? ¡°Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s new generation has finally risen slightly. I didn¡¯t know you have a Qiyao Realm king. Well done.¡± The Dragon Venerable looked at Sacred Lord Taiyi and then at the ninth prince. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty to be here. Also, you have become a Qiyao Realm king at such a young age. Maybe you¡¯ll be the next emperor in the future. Luckily, I didn¡¯t kill him. ¡± ¡°Oh, are you saying you would kill them if I weren¡¯t here?¡± Suddenly, a lazy voice came from above Dragon Venerable. Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince were dumbfounded, and a figure appeared above the head of Dragon Venerable. He was lying on his side, holding a bottle of wine and drinking it leisurely. Compared to Lord Dragon¡¯s huge figure, this person seemed to be tiny. If they didn¡¯t check carefully, it would be difficult to find him. ¡°Elder King!? ¡± When Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince saw Qin Chen, they were both surprised and happy. They had thought he wouldn¡¯t be back. On the other hand, the four demon kings were dumbfounded as they watched this scene. What was going on? How did this Human Venerable ride above Lord Dragon? The next moment, they were shocked to hear Lord Dragon speak in a rather respectful tone, ¡°Elder King, I wasn¡¯t kidding. How would I dare to kill them?¡± ¡°I knew you were smart. If you really killed them, I would kill you and bury you with them,¡± Qin Chen said lazily. He then looked at Sacred Lord Taiyi and the ninth prince. ¡°Thank you for waiting for me, and everything is fine for me. Are you alright? Did these little demons do anything to you? ¡± ¡°No, we did nothing!¡± The four demon kings hurriedly shook their heads. Chapter 48 - The Dragon Blood The four demon kings were terrified, for they understood what was happening. Seeing that even Dragon Venerable was treating this Human Venerable respectfully, they knew Demon Valley had probably lost the battle just now. ¡°From now on, we don¡¯t have to worry about Demon Valley invading us,¡± Qin Chen said to Sacred Lord Taiyi. ¡°Demon Valley has already submitted to Taiyi Holy Land.¡± Hearing that, Sacred Lord Taiyi was shocked but soon overjoyed. Demon Valley was a very powerful force of the demon race. Even if the holy land didn¡¯t have a strong foundation, it was much stronger than Taiyi Holy Land. Moreover, it even had a living Dragon Venerable. If Demon Valley joined them, the overall strength of Taiyi Holy Land would be greatly improved. The ninth prince was also surprised, for it had only taken the 17th brother not long to tame the five demon kings and the Dragon Venerable. The most powerful Dragon Venerable and the five demon kings of Demon Valley had surrendered to Taiyi Holy Land. Naturally, the demons would not invade and cause pain for three great ancient countries. To play safe, Qin Chen used the Bahunag Realm Venerable technique to block the gap in Myriad Demon Mountain Range, which made the three great ancient countries¡¯ millions of soldiers let out a breath of relief and cheer. From now on, they would no longer be threatened by the demons. ¡­ In Taiyi Holy Land, many elders and disciples were not worried about the demons in Myriad Demon Mountain Range, for Elder King had left to deal with this crisis. In their eyes, there was nothing in the world that Elder King could not solve. Just as people were waiting for the triumphant return of Elder King and the others, they suddenly saw a huge black figure appearing in the distant sky. It was as if it had blocked out the sun. With two huge dragons in the sky, a divine eagle flying with thousands of feet long wings, a giant ape soaring, and Tiger King passing above their heads, they could feel the strong demonic qi from these kings. The surging demonic qi covered the sky and earth, threatening everyone in Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Damn! The demon kings are invading!¡± As the divine bell rang, Ling Ran, the substitute Holy Lord, was alerted. She rushed into the sky, and the other supreme elders also followed her. They looked at the five great demon kings with overwhelming demonic might rushing toward the holy land¡¯s main gate with extremely serious expressions. The other elders¡¯ and disciples¡¯ expressions changed. The five great demon kings were all super demonic beasts as powerful as Qiyao Realm Kings. Why were they here? Weren¡¯t they the demon kings of Demon Valley? What were they doing here? Could it be that something had happened to Elder King and the others? ¡°Holy Daughter, the five great demon kings are here. I¡¯m afraid that Elder King and the Holy Lord are in great danger. Please activate Holy Land Protecting Formation immediately to stop the invasion of the demon kings!¡± a supreme elder said to Ling Ran. The Holy Daughter looked at the five demon kings coldly. Even though she had made rapid progress over the years, she was far from being the opponent of the five demon kings. The only thing she could do now was to activate the ancient holy formation that covered the Taiyi Holy Land to resist the enemy. Furthermore, the fact that the five great demon kings had come from afar meant that Elder King might never return. There was most likely a terrifying demonic venerable in Demon Valley, or as a Bahunag Realm Venerable, Elder King would not have allowed the five great demon kings to invade. ¡°Damn it! What happened in Demon Valley? How come even Elder King and other Venerables in trouble?¡± she thought. ¡°Yes, activate Holy Land Protecting Formation!¡± ling ran immediately ordered. At this moment, just as a supreme elder was about to activate Holy Land Protecting Formation, a surprised voice came to their ears. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to welcome us back so grandly.¡± Ling Ran and the others were stunned. The next second, they saw four figures standing on the Black Flood Dragon King¡¯s head. Weren¡¯t they Elder King, Sacred Lord Taiyi, and the ninth prince? ¡­ After learning that Demon Valley had surrendered to Taiyi Holy Land, everyone was dumbfounded. They had thought about defeating Demon Valley, but they had never expected that they would surrender one day. Demon Valley was much more powerful than Taiyi Holy Land, especially with the five demon kings. When they learned that there was a Dragon Venerable in Demon Valley, they gasped. If Elder King hadn¡¯t gone there personally, Sacred Lord Taiyi would have been in grave danger. Elder King was their guardian! Soon, everyone in Taiyi Holy Land came back to their senses and realized Demon Valley¡¯s surrender greatly improved their overall strength. At first, the elders and disciples of the holy land were scared to see demon kings wandering in their territory. However, later on, they realized that these demon kings wouldn¡¯t attack them and were often in a deep sleep. After a long time, they got used to them. As time passed, many elders and disciples of Taiyi Holy Land also went to Demon Valley, where there were plenty of other giant demons. The Dragon Venerable and the five demon kings had forbidden them from hurting the people of Taiyi Holy Land. On the contrary, many of them became friends, and some were even tamed and turned into spiritual pets. However, made many elders and disciples were very curious about the most powerful one, Lord Dragon. It was said that he was a Bahuang Realm Venerable like Elder King, but no one knew where he was. People said that he followed behind Elder King all the time. One day, Qin Chen was in his own space with a thatched cottage. After finishing his cultivation, he let out a long breath as usual. He stood up and walked out of the thatched house and saw Lord Dragon was guiding the ninth prince in his cultivation with his human form. ¡°Ninth prince, although your Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi has the shape of a dragon, it¡¯s not perfect yet. That¡¯s why it can¡¯t show the true nature of a dragon. The so-called dragon¡¯s nature is similar to a dragon¡¯s spirit, which contains the true might of a dragon,¡± Lord Dragon said solemnly. The Great Qin Empire was the immortal divine empire founded by the ancient emperor Qin Shihuang. The imperial family of the Great Qin Empire cultivated Qin Shihuang¡¯s the Book of Shihuang, which focused on cultivating Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, and it was known as one of the best attacking Holy Techniques in the world. It was said that Qin Shihuang had cultivated 10,000 streaks of his dragon qi. Once he attacked, it was as powerful as 10,000 Immortal Dragons. It possessed undefeatable attacking power that could turn time and space upside down and destroy everything. As the first emperor¡¯s descendants, every core member of the Great Qin Empire family cultivated the Book of Shihuang. The ninth prince was a competitive candidate for the future emperor, so he reached the highest level of the Book of Shihuang. At this point, he had already condensed 74 traces of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. However, Lord Dragon was a true dragon, a descendant of Immortal Dragon, so he had the right to evaluate the ninth prince¡¯s Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. It only had the form, not the spirit. Qin Chen took a look at the nineteenth price and knew Lord Dragon was right. Lord Dragon said, ¡°If you want to make your Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi have the spirit, it¡¯s best to refine some dragon blood. Like this, you¡¯ll be able to have the dragon spirit. ¡± ¡°Lord Dragon,¡± the ninth prince said with a wry smile, ¡°the dragon race is a top-tier demon race. How do I get some dragon blood? ¡± ¡°You have a blood bank standing in front of you, right?¡± Qin Chen walked over and pointed to Lord Dragon. 1 Chapter 49 - Just a Loser Lord Dragon said with a guarded look, ¡°It was just a kind suggestion. Asking me to donate blood is a bit too much, right?¡± Although the ninth prince wanted some dragon blood, he knew that this was too much. He said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. If I become the emperor one day, I can refine the precious dragon blood in the national treasury to empower my Empire Shi¡¯s dragon qi. ¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it a bit complicated? It¡¯s better to use the ready one.¡± Qin Chen looked at Lord Dragon and said earnestly, ¡°My little dragon, he¡¯ll be the emperor of the Great Qin Empire in the future. Think about it, when he becomes the emperor, he¡¯ll be the most powerful person in the immortal divine dynasty. You¡¯ll regret if you don¡¯t invest now. If you do this for him, he might be able to offer you something you want in return. The Great Qin Empire is Emperor Shi¡¯s immortal divine dynasty, so there are countless treasures in the treasury. I am sure there must be something you fancy there, don¡¯t you think so?¡± He was trying to convince Lord Dragon. Lord Dragon thought about Qin Chen¡¯s words, found them made sense, and said, ¡± ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re right. Alright, kid, you¡¯re lucky. I¡¯ll give you some dragon blood now. After you refine it into your Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, you¡¯ll be able to possess dragon spirit. Till then, the attack power will be way stronger.¡± He gently cut his wrist as he spoke, and a stream of golden blood flew out. It was dragon blood. There were 74 drops, and they flew toward the ninth prince. The ninth prince was surprised and overjoyed. He quickly accepted it and said, ¡°Thank you, Lord Dragon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will offer me something in return.¡± Lord Dragon said as if he had just lost an arm. The dragon race didn¡¯t have a lot of dragon blood in their bodies. Giving away 74 drops of dragon blood was a big thing for him. However, after thinking about it, he knew that there would definitely be something for him in the Great Qin Empire¡¯s treasury if the ninth prince became the emperor one day. Qin Chen smiled at the ninth prince, turned around, grabbed a broom, and was about to leave. Lord Dragon had been here since he arrived and had never left. When he saw Qin Chen holding a broom, he followed him curiously and asked, ¡°Elder King, why did you take a broom?¡± Qin Chen gave him a strange look and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m sweeping the floor!¡± ¡°Sweeping the floor?¡± Lord Dragon was stunned. However, he thought Elder King wasn¡¯t just sweeping the floor, and there must be some other reason behind it. He was also curious about how Qin Chen had cultivated to become the top Bahunag Realm Venerable at such a young age. It was said that finding Elder King in Taiyi Holy Land was nearly impossible. ¡°I don¡¯t mind having you follow behind me, but don¡¯t let anyone see you,¡± Qin Chen said to Lord Dragon. Lord Dragon quickly cast a small spell to distort the void. Like this, except for Bahuang Realm Venerables, no one else could see him. Lord Dragon followed Qin Chen all the way, but he only saw him holding a broom like an ordinary cultivator. What was more, he even restrained his qi. If he hadn¡¯t known Qin Chen¡¯s background, he couldn¡¯t have told that he was a Bahunag Realm Venerable. ¡°What a powerful aura-concealing technique!¡± Lord Dragon was amazed and followed him all the way. Qin Chen was really like an ordinary person, crossing mountains and ridges. After a long time, they finally arrived outside a palace. They were in front of Zixia Palace. ¡°You are the one cleaning up today? Don¡¯t miss a corner.¡± In Zixia Palace, a disciple spoke rather coldly and directly instructed Qin Chen. Lord Dragon frowned right away. She was just a disciple, so how did she dare order Elder King like this? Did she know what she was doing? However, the next moment, he was dumbfounded to see Qin Chen nod and start cleaning Zixia Palace. ¡°Is he seriously the cleaner here?¡± Lord Dragon was dumbfounded. The Human Venerable, powerful Elder King with a Chaotic Holy body was actually a cleaner of Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°What the hack!¡± If Lord Dragon knew the internet slang of Qin Chen¡¯s world, he would definitely curse like this. This was strange, right? Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land was actually sweeping the floor? Was he crazy? Moreover, it was obvious that the disciples really did not know that Qin Chen was Elder King. ¡°Elder King, are you crazy?¡± Lord Dragon finally could not help but ask. Qin Chen glanced at this guy and checked in. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in and obtained the 100,000 years-old Dragon Spirit Plant!] [Note: there is no more divinity. You are not allowed to keep checking in! ] The was finally no more divinity, so he could no longer check-in. Qin Chen was a bit upset, but obtaining the 100,000 years-old Dragon Spirit Plant was satisfying enough. When he returned, he could also refine a good medicinal pill. After carefully cleaning up, Qin Chen took the broom and left. At this time, Ling Ran was in Zixia Palace, and her eyebrows were slightly knitted. For some reason, she kept feeling that there was another internal qi nearby. However, it was hidden very well, so she couldn¡¯t completely feel it. She couldn¡¯t have sensed it if she hadn¡¯t become a King with Zixia Body. Lord Dragon knew that Qin Chen was indeed a cleaner. He even noticed that when some elders and disciples met Qin Chen, only a few of them would greet him. The others were cold and indifferent, not caring about him at all. Some elders even secretly pointed at Qin Chen behind his back, saying that he was an abandoned prince and could only be a cleaner for the rest of his life. ¡°He could never return to the Great Qin Empire,¡± they said. Lord Dragon had discovered Qin Chen¡¯s other identity at this point, the 17th prince of the Great Qin Empire. However, a few decades ago, the Great Qin Empire was banished from the royal family. ¡°You are a prince of the Great Qin Empire? Who is the ninth prince then?¡± Lord Dragon asked in a daze. ¡°I¡¯m the 17th prince of the Great Qin Empire, and he¡¯s the ninth prince. Doesn¡¯t that make him my older brother?¡± Qin Chen answered as if he didn¡¯t understand the question. Lord Dragon was completely dumbfounded, and then he took a deep breath. He knew about the ninth prince¡¯s rare talent. This young man had reached the fourth level of Qiyao Realm in less than 100 years, so he was definitely a genius. It was highly possible that he could enter Bahunag Realm one day. However, Qin Chen, who was younger than him, was already a Bahuang Realm Venerable. It meant that Qin was way more gifted than the ninth prince. He had only cultivated for less than 100 years, but he was already a Bahuang Realm Venerable. How could he cultivate at such an unbelievable speed? It suddenly came to Lord Dragon that Qin Chen was an abandoned prince, so he could not help but ask curiously, ¡°Elder King, why did the Great Qin Empire expel you from the royal family?¡± He really could not understand why the Great Qin Empire would expellee such a gifted and powerful genius, who was both Bahuang Realm Venerable and had the Chaotic Holy Body. Why had the Great Qin Empire kicked him out? ¡°Because I¡¯m a loser!¡± Qin Chen answered honestly. Dragon Lord didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°If you were a loser, who could be the winner?¡± Chapter 50 - Juitian Realm Great Venerable Two months later, the ninth prince came to Qin Chen¡¯s residence to say goodbye, ¡± ¡°Seventeenth brother, I¡¯m leaving. The eighteenth uncle told me that the selection of the crown prince was about to begin. The second prince, seventh prince, and thirteenth princess of the Great Qin Empire are all making their preparations. The eighteenth uncle told me to hurry back and prepare to fight for the position of the crown prince.¡± Qin Chen nodded. ¡°Ninth brother, you¡¯re already on the fourth level of Qiyao Realm. I believe you¡¯re one of the best among the younger generation of the imperial family, so you have a great chance of becoming the crown prince. Just come to me whenever you need me.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± The ninth prince was silent for a while before suddenly saying, ¡°Seventeenth brother, are you really not going back? As long as you¡¯re willing to return, the imperial clan will definitely restore your status as a prince right away. Furthermore, the position of the crown prince will definitely belong to you, and you will be the emperor one day.¡± To be honest, he felt that his seventeenth brother, Qin Chen, was more suitable to become the emperor than him because he was stronger and more talented. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m not interested. I don¡¯t practice the Book of Shihuang, either.¡± Qin Chen waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s just a title. If i become the emperor, I¡¯ll have to deal with a lot of things every day. It¡¯s so troublesome. Living a free life like now is way better.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± the ninth prince smiled wryly. He was envious of his seventeenth brother¡¯s carefree life, but he was destined to be unable to do so. Even if he didn¡¯t want to fight for the position of crown prince, it was impossible. There were too many people involved, and he had no choice but to be part of the war. The ninth prince left and returned to the Great Qin Empire. Only Qin Chen and Lord Dragon were left here. Although he felt that something was missing, he was still at ease. Half a year later, Qin Chen received news about the ninth prince, who had defeated the other princes and princesses to become the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire. Qin Chen smiled in relief. He knew that with his ninth brother¡¯s strength, he could definitely become the crown prince. After that, he started to keep a low profile and focused on cultivation. Other sweeping the floor to check in with his appearance, he hadn¡¯t appeared as Elder King for several years. Five years later, Sacred Lord Taiyi retired, and the Holy Daughter Ling Ran took over his position to become the new Holy Lord of Taiyi Holy Land. No one objected because Ling Ran had been a Qiyao Realm King for many years, and she was already on the fifth level, which meant she was even more powerful than the previous Holy Lord. What was more, Ling Ran had received guidance from an expert and obtained Supreme Zixia Empress¡¯s orthodoxy. She was born to be an empress who would break through Qiyao Realm, so Taiyi Holy Land had high hopes for her. Ling Ran was indeed a qualified Holy Lord. Under her leadership, Taiyi Holy Land had been greatly developed. They cooperated and shared experiences with the major holy lands and aristocratic families of Southern Desolate Lands. Because of Ling Ran¡¯s charm, many geniuses joined Taiyi Holy Land after she became the Holy Lord. The holy lands and aristocratic families such as Yaoguang Holy Land, Absolute Beginning Tribulations, Sky Mansion, Southern Palace, and Northern Castle tried to steal them away, but none of them made it. The world had a very high opinion of Ling Ran, seeing her as the best of her generation. Moreover, they all believed she would break through Qiyao Realm, become a Venerable, and even turn into a Sage. However, in the ten years since Ling Ran became the holy leader, many demonized lands appeared in Taiyi Holy Land, and many places were pitch-black and demonized. These were all signs that the sealed Sage-level great demon was about to awaken. During this period of time, as a Holy Lord, Ling Ran had been thinking about how to get rid of their potential threat, the great demon. However, she could not find a practical solution, so she was pretty helpless. She had thought about Elder King and Lord Dragon, the two Bahunag Realm Veberables. However, this great demon¡¯s realm was even higher. Legend had it that it was at Juitian Realm, so these Venerables would be no match for it. Another thing that surprised her was that since Elder King dealt with Demon Valley, he seemed to have completely disappeared. Over the past few years, she had heard that many disciples had seen him, but she had never seen him. At the same time, she felt that Elder King had no limit. She was already the King of a generation, but she still could not sense Elder King¡¯s figure in Taiyi Holy Land. It showed that there was a huge gap between them. On the other hand, Qin Chen had been cultivating. During this period, he only created a clone to replace his position as a cleaner to sweep the floor. In the eyes of others, after decades of hard cultivation, he had reached only Liangyi Realm, but he seemed way older, as if he was in his forties. Of course, he used his appearance to confuse outsiders. One day, Qin Chen let out a long breath that was full of vitality. If he released all the energy, he could shake the whole Taiyi Holy Land. Time flew, and it had been twenty years since he had dealt with Demon Valley. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation speed was still extraordinary. In just twenty years, he had crossed four levels and made himself one of the best level-nine Bahuang Realm Venerables. The level-nine Bahuang Realm Venerables were also called great Veberables, which meant only peak Venerables were above them. For example, the ancient great Venerable from Demon Sealing Land was at this level. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation speed was as fast as ever. It was not only because of his Chaotic Holy Body but also of the countless treasures he had obtained over the past few decades. Therefore, he could use them as much as he wanted for cultivation. It was shocking that someone could become a great Venerable before one hundred years old, especially since he had the Chaotic Holy Body. He was destined to have undefeatable combat power, which was enough to fight against ancient Sages. Qin Chen did have the qualifications to do so. The ancient great emperors had already been able to fight against Sages when they were great Venerables, so he could make it. He was confident that even if the great demon from the Holy Land came out, he could deal with it. In the past twenty years, after witnessing Qin Chen¡¯s amazing cultivation speed, Lord Dragon was in awe of him. It had taken him twenty years to go from level five to ninth heaven of Bahuang Realm. It seemed that he had only crossed through the fourth level, which meant he had entered a new level every five years. However, since ancient times, countless Veberables cultivated for hundreds of years in Bahaung Realm and only increased a few levels. Even if they were fast, they usually needed at least 1000 years to become a great Venerable. For example, Lord Dragon, the Dragon Venerable, had inherited the bloodline of Immemorial Dragon, but it had taken him more than three hundred years to reach level four of Bahunag Realm. It was because he had been cultivating with Qin Chen recently that he had reached level five in twenty years. It was already very fast, but it was insignificant compared to Qin Chen, who had only spent thirty years transferring from a Bahuang Venerable to a Juitian Realm great Venerable. ¡°Damn it! You are crazy!¡± Dragon Lord was a senior Veberable who had lived for more than two thousand years, and Qin Chen¡¯s unbelievable cultivating speed still made him astonished. Qin Chen glanced at him. It had already taken him more than 20 years to reach level nine, which was pretty slow. After all, he was a man with the system. Did anyone know what the system was? Chapter 51 - The Coronation Ceremony Not long after, Qin Chen received the news that the ninth prince was about to be crowned. The ninth prince had been the crown prince of the Great Qin Dynasty for twenty years, and his cultivation level was getting higher by the day. £Ïver the years, the Great Qin emperor gradually let the ninth prince deal with some state affairs. Even though some princes and princesses had made things difficult for him, he still completed them perfectly and received the Great Qin emperor¡¯s approval. The Great Qin emperor was in the prime of his life, and he had reached the peak of Qiyao Realm. He hoped to abdicate as soon as possible and went on a retreat for cultivation so that he could break through and become a Venerable in Bahuang Realm. Therefore, he was preparing to abdicate and pass the power to the current crown prince, the ninth prince, Qin Feng. All of this seemed to be logical. However, what made Qin Chen feel strange was that the ninth prince didn¡¯t tell him about his coronation ceremony. Instead, he intentionally hid the news. ¡°Why does he hide about the coronation ceremony? Something must be up!¡± Qin Chen could tell. Otherwise, they were close to each other, so his ninth brother would have shared this great news with him. ¡°Something is wrong!¡± Qin Chen thought. Just as he was about to send someone from Taiyi Holy Land to investigate this matter, a letter was delivered to him. It was from the eighth prince. ¡°The eighth prince even sent me a letter, so it should be something serious.¡± Qin Chen opened the letter, which was simple and direct. The ninth prince would be the new emperor in two days. However, the eighth prince had received some information that those against the ninth prince might interfere and stop him from being the next emperor on the day of his coronation ceremony. Till then, there would be many top-tier cultivators attacking the ninth prince. Thus, the eighth prince had sent a letter, hoping that Elder King would show up on the day of the coronation to stop the potential enemies and help the ninth prince to successfully ascend the throne. In the letter, Qin Chen also learned about the ninth prince¡¯s perfect performance in the past twenty years, so everyone thought it should have been easy for him to be throned. However, after becoming the crown prince, the ninth prince repeatedly advised the emperor to release Qin Chen¡¯s mother. This idea made the queen and her supporters upset. The queen was the one who had abused her power to send Qin Chen¡¯s mother to Cold Palace. After knowing the ninth prince would like to set Qin Chen¡¯s mother free, the queen and her supporters were furious and would never allow this to happen. They had decided to make a move on the coronation ceremony and make him lose his position as crown prince, not to mention becoming the emperor. After hearing this news, Qin Chen understood that the ninth prince had deliberately not told him. He thought that he could solve this problem and didn¡¯t want to trouble Qin Chen. However, coronation day was destined to be very dangerous. He might be removed from the position and never be able to be the emperor, but there was also the danger of being killed at any time. ¡°Ninth brother,, I¡¯m your seventeenth brother. In the entire Great Qin imperial family, aside from mother, the only person I acknowledge is you. How can I not show up to protect my brother?¡± ¡°It¡¯s your coronation ceremony. No matter what, I have to go.¡± How could Qin Chen sit on the sidelines? He decided to move right away. He had originally wanted to go alone, but Lord Dragon had also requested to go with him. The five great demon kings of Demon Valley had also asked to tag alone. Qin Chen thought for a moment. He didn¡¯t have to do some things personally, and he could let these guys do it. Finally, he agreed to take them. He brought the Dragon Venerable and the five demon kings with him as they headed toward the Great Qin Dynasty. Lord Dragon and the five great demon kings had all transformed into their human forms. Otherwise, they would be too big of a target. Canglan Continent was huge. It was divided into five regions, Central Province, East Sea, Southern Desolate Lands, West Range, and the North Pole. The Great Qin Dynasty was located in Central Province. It was not only one of the four most powerful immortal divine dynasties there, but it also ruled a massive endless territory and had an army of hundreds of millions. Taiyi Holy Land was located north of Southern Desolate Lands, hundreds of millions of miles away from the Great Qin Dynasty, which was in Central Province. Therefore, it would take at least two weeks for a Bahunag Realm Venerable to reach there. They used the void divine altar, a treasure that was specially made for long travel. Whooosh! They crossed the sky and headed for Central Province. Not long after, Qin Chen, Lord Dragon, and the others appeared in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin City. Qin City was magnificent, and the walls were more than 300 meters tall. The city walls were dark and thick, with many bloodstains on them. It had experienced many terrifying battles and was an immortal ancient city with billions of people. The city was full of life. ¡°The last time I came to Qin City was a thousand years ago,¡± Lord Dragon sighed softly. Clearly, he had come to Qin City and had come stories here. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t ask. Who didn¡¯t have stories when they were young? He looked at Qin City. It had been a few decades, but it was still the same. Nothing had changed. This was the first time Qin Chen had come to Qin City, where he had been born, after transmigrating to this world. Therefore, there was a familiar yet strange feeling. This city had quite a few visitors, but the security had been much tighter recently. Even the gatekeepers seemed to be powerful. It was because they would have a new emperor soon. Till then, the ninth prince, Qin Feng, would ascend the throne. From the public¡¯s comments, Qin Chen could tell that the people had a very high opinion of the ninth prince and believed that he would be a decent emperor. It was pretty easy for the group to enter Qin City without being noticed, and they stayed in an elegant and noble pavilion not far from the imperial city. This building belonged to Taiyi Holy Land. Every immortal heritage had its own businesses in the important ancient cities. Taiyi Holy Land also had some. After showing his token of Elder King, they checked in. The pavilion was a tall building. Standing on it, he could see the imperial city in the center of Qin City. Qin Chen looked at the sky, clear and fresh. It was a peaceful scene. However, he squinted his eyes and could feel the danger hidden in the dark. Numerous dark clouds surrounded the imperial city, which was an ominous sign. Even the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s lucky qi did not manage to clear them away. It showed that the ninth prince¡¯s coronation ceremony would be extremely dangerous. Moreover, the danger came from the royal family. Otherwise, the clouds of disaster would not have surrounded the imperial city, which was supported by an immortal divine dynasty¡¯s lucky qi. Lord Dragon clearly understood what was going on as well, looked at Qin Chen, and said, ¡°Lord Chen, don¡¯t you want to just walk in the imperial city directly? If you came, the Great Qin imperial family would definitely restore your position and welcome you back. Don¡¯t you want to be a prince again?¡± Chapter 52 - Reunion with the Crown Prince Lord Chen was Qin Chen¡¯s title. Now, Lord Dragon no longer called him Elder King but Lord Chen. Lord Dragon still could not understand why the Great Qin imperial family would expel such a monstrous genius from the imperial family and send him to Taiyi Holy Land in Southern Desolate Lands to become a cleaner. If the Great Qin imperial family knew that Qin Chen was already a great Venerable, they would probably regret it. However, Lord Dragon believed that as long as Qin Chen revealed his true identity, the Great Qin empire would welcome him back with the highest standards and make him a prince again. What was more, even the ninth prince would have to give him the title. Without a doubt, Qin Chen should be the next emperor. Qin Chen shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a prince again. I¡¯m fine now.¡± Lord Dragon was confused. ¡°Lord Chen, if you don¡¯t want to go back, you can still show up as an elder of Taiyi Holy Land to deal with the threats on the ninth prince¡¯s coronation ceremony.¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t show my face on purpose.¡± Qin Chen said, ¡°As you said, those bastards will not show up if I go today. At the same time, they are still out there. After ninth brother ascends to the throne, they will find a chance to make trouble. I can¡¯t be by his side all the time. It¡¯s better to make them show their true colors on the coronation ceremony and deal with them for good!¡± Lord Dragon finally understood. It was not that Qin Chen did not want to make a move but that he wanted to get rid of them all at once! Lord Chen looked innocent on normal days, but he was actually pretty sharp. It wasn¡¯t surprising that he could transfer from a nobody to where he was today, which was somewhat impressive. On the other hand, those against the ninth prince were surely on the wrong side. The ninth prince¡¯s coronation ceremony was tomorrow. Qin Chen could sense that many unfamiliar and powerful cultivators had appeared in Qin City. Some of them were in Wuxing or Liuhe Realm, even Qiyao Kings. Qin City was filled with hidden talents, and the situation was intense. The coronation ceremony was destined to be full of danger. Qin Chen left the pavilion without making a sound and entered the imperial city. If he hadn¡¯t been this powerful, it would have been impossible for him to enter the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s forbidden area. Otherwise, he could have been caught. He secretly passed through many formations in the imperial city, which only worked for Qiyao but not Bahunag Realm cultivators. Moreover, Qin Chen was a great Venerable. Even though Qin Chen was at such a high cultivation level now, he was still a little afraid of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial city. As one of the four immortal divine dynasties in Central Province, the Great Qin dynasty ruled the world for tens of thousands of years. Qin Chen had to admit that the Great Qin Dynasty was far superior to Taiyi Holy Land in all aspects. He could sense that there was at least twenty qi of Qiyao Realm Kings in the imperial city. What was more, there were countless Liuhe Grandmasters, Wuxing Masters, and other powerful cultivators. All kinds of experts were like stars scattered all over the majestic imperial city, and most of them didn¡¯t even show their appearances. Furthermore, Qin Chen could sense that there were other Bahunag Realm Venerables in the imperial city, but they were good at disguising. ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty and the Taiyi Holy Land are both immortal heritages, but there¡¯s a great difference,¡± Qin Chen said to himself. However, even if Qin Chen hadn¡¯t hidden his identity as a Bahunag Realm Venerable, the system could have helped him. Soon, Qin Chen arrived at a palace without making a sound. He was at the crown prince¡¯s palace. In the palace, the ninth prince, the current crown prince, Qin Feng, was wearing the crown prince¡¯s robe and had a golden crown on his head. Besides him, many strategists and experts supporting him discussing something intensively. After a long time, the crowd left, leaving only the crown prince and the eighth prince. The crown prince frowned and seemed to be worried. Apparently, something was bothering him. The eighth prince sighed. ¡°Feng, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already sent a letter to Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land. I believe he has received the letter. As long as he is here, all the problems will be solved. ¡± ¡°Unlce, did you seriously send a letter to the seventeenth¡­ Elder King?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed as he looked at the eighth prince. The eighth prince said, ¡°I had no choice. If we don¡¯t do this, you¡¯ll be in danger in the coronation ceremony tomorrow. Those people will do anything to fight for the power, and you¡¯ll be in great danger. When Elder King shows up, everyone will not be able to touch you because he¡¯s a Venerable.¡± The crown prince opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally quit. To be honest, he really didn¡¯t want to trouble his little brother. That was why he did not tell his seventeenth brother about his coronation ceremony and hide the truth from him, for he wanted to climb to the throne by himself. He had only visited his seventeenth brother decades after he had been sent Taiyi Holy Land as a servant, which made him feel guilty. After this, he then found out that his seventeenth brother had supported him as Elder of Taiyi Holy Land and a Bahunag Realm Venerable, so he was grateful. Therefore, the crown prince hoped that after he ascended to the throne, he could tell his seventeenth brother everything after releasing Concubine yang from the Cold Palace. However, the eighth prince had sent a letter to his seventeenth brother in advance. After the eighth prince left, the crown prince stood at the door of the palace and looked up at the starry sky. Although it was still as bright as ever, he could feel that the war was coming. Qin Chen suddenly appeared without making a sound. ¡°Seventeenth brother.¡± The crown prince was surprised. Qin Chen stepped forward, hugged the crown prince, and said, ¡°Ninth brother, you shouldn¡¯t have hidden it from me.¡± The crown prince laughed wryly, ¡°Seventeenth brother, I don¡¯t want to trouble you with everything. You¡¯re the most outstanding person in the Great Qin imperial family and have entered Bahunag Realm at such a young age. I believe you¡¯ll be able to break through soon and enter Juitian Realm and become an invincible Sage, so I shouldn¡¯t bother you with this kind of little things. It would only waste your cultivation time.¡± Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Ninth brother, your business is my business. You are my only brother in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the others don¡¯t matter for me. That¡¯s what brothers are supposed to be.¡± Hearing this, the crown prince could feel Qin Chen¡¯s sincere feelings. He let out a long breath and laughed out loud, ¡°Seventeenth brother, you¡¯re right. I shouldn¡¯t have cared about this. ¡± The crown prince invited Qin Chen into the palace to have a drink and talk. ¡°Ninth brother, I will come to your coronation ceremony tomorrow, but it¡¯s better to find out who are the bastards before that. Like this, we can deal with them all at once,¡± Qin Chen said. The crown prince looked at Qin Chen and sighed deeply, ¡°Seventeenth brother, you¡¯re the one who sees through things. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely make them show themselves and get rid of them!¡± Chapter 53 - : Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon The two brothers talked all night, and Qin Chen left around four o¡¯clock. The two of them talked for a long time, and Qin Chen also understood the crown prince¡¯s plan. At first, the crown prince had been a bit lost, but everything was easier with a Venerable like Qin Chen. Before leaving, Qin Chen came to a magnificent palace in the imperial city. Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace was in front of him, where Qin Shihuang had ruled the world. It was a huge palace that was hundreds of feet tall. There was no one in the hall, but it was brightly lit. ¡°It¡¯s Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace, a place that even the previous emperors might not be qualified to enter.¡± Qin Chen let out a soft sigh. This palace had extraordinary significance, and senior elders of the Great Qin Dynasty were guarding it. Even the emperor might not be able to enter, as they would need the permission of the senior elders. There were five imperial elders, each of whom was old and had lived for thousands of years. Three of them were at the peak Qiyao Realm or, to be more precise, they were at Half-step Bahunag Realm. They were only one step away from the real Bahunag Realm. The other two were utterly powerful Bahunag Realm Venerables. ¡°Two Bahunag Realm Venerables, this is the power of an immortal dynasty. Maybe there are more experts here.¡± Qin Chen looked down, moved swiftly, and quietly entered Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace. Even the five peerless experts of the imperial family, including the two Venerables, didn¡¯t notice him. There was a statue of Emperor Shi in Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace. He wore a tassel on his head and a black dragon robe. With his eyes looking down, he seemed that he was still alive. Even Qin Chen was astonished as he looked up at Qin Shuhuang¡¯s statue. He was an emperor throughout the ages and a Bahunag Realm Venerable! [This place is with strong divinity. Would you like to check in here?] Qin Chen immediately received a powerful system notification, indicating that there was a powerful divinity in this place. He wasn¡¯t surprised. After all, the ancestor of the Great Qin Dynasty was a great human emperor. The immortal dynasty, imperial city, and the imperial palace that he had built must have contained a great divinity. ¡°Check in!¡± Qin Chen thought to himself. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in and obtained Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!] After the system¡¯s notification suggesting that he had successfully checked in, he obtained the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon! Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge created by Emperor Shi and documented on the immortal imperial sutra. Emperor Shi cultivated this technique and created a total of 10,000 traces of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, representing his noblest status. It was said that Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi had the strongest powerful attack power in the world and could destroy everything. No matter how strong the enemy was, this technique could destroy them immediately. Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was one of them. It used Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi to attack and contained an overwhelming power that was enough to destroy everything in the world. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that I obtained one of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s most powerful an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge by checking in. I wonder how the other princes and princesses would react when they find out that they could only obtain king-grade Venerable-level knowledge after so many years of cultivation. ¡± Qin Chen wanted to know what kind of expression those people would have after finding out. Of course, he could never mention the check-in system with others. The coronation ceremony was at noon the next day. Yang qi would be the thickest at that moment, which was very similar to Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi cultivated by the Great Qin Dynasty. That was why they had chosen this moment. Qin Chen left Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace relaxedly. At this moment, the two imperial elders guarding Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace suddenly opened their eyes, shooting out strands of shocking cold light that could tear through the void to scan the palace. They seemed to sense that someone else had entered. However, after releasing their divine sense to check the environment, they could not sense anything. There was nothing. ¡°Was that just in my head?¡± The two imperial elders looked at each other and shook their heads. It was Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace, and even a Juitian Realm Peerless Sage couldn¡¯t escape from them. Qin Chen took a look at the palace and thought to himself, ¡°That was close. Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace was where Qin Shihuang ruled the world in the past, and the five elders not only were all from the royal family but had a connection with the royal bloodline. That was scary as hell,¡¯ he thought. However, with the system¡¯s cover, he was not afraid. That night, Qin Chen returned to the pavilion. Lord Dragon didn¡¯t ask him where he had gone, and he couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain. He returned to his courtyard, sealed the world with a wave of his hand, and began cultivating Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. Qin Chen was a great Venerable, so cultivating a new technique was a piece of cake for him. Even if it was emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he finished the process within a short time. Soon, dragon qi which looked like real dragons, appeared on the surface of Qin Chen¡¯s skin. There were a total of 108 dragon qi that surrounded him. This was Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. of course. He had just started learning this technique, so Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi on his body was not particularly thick and seemed a little weak. These one hundred and eight rays of dragon qi gradually became clearer with time. Each of them was like Immemorial Dragon, circling around Qin Chen. They would roar from time to time as if they were real dragons. ¡°This is Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. Only by awakening the true dragon spirit can demonstrate this emperor-grade supernormal knowledge¡¯s power,¡± Qin Chen mumbled to himself. The crown prince, Qin Feng, had been judged by Lord Dragon that his Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi was lack of dragon spirit. After gaining some dragon blood and refining it into his technique, he started showing the legit dragon spirit. However, Qin Chen did not need Lord Dragon¡¯s dragon blood. After he waved his hands, 108 dragon spirits flew out from the system space. These were the dragon spirits rewarded by the system when he checked in to the dragon nest a few years ago. The dragon nest was Immemorial Dragon¡¯s home and grave. After dragons died, they would return to their nest and be buried, leaving behind many tall dragon graves. Qin Chen checked in there and received dragon spirits. When he had obtained these dragon spirits after checking in, he thought that these dragon souls were useless and complained about them. Much to his surprise, they were handy for him today. There were exactly 108 waves of dragon qi, and they combined with Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi he had cultivated. ¡°Roar!¡± In an instant, the dragon qi of Emperor Shi seemed to have turned into real dragons. Their eyes showed spirituality as they moved around in the void with a majestic dragon¡¯s might, which was very shocking. Qin Chen then tried to send out a ray of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. With a dragon¡¯s roar, the void in front of him was pierced and shattered. If it landed on a Qiyao Realm King, it would be enough to kill him or her. Just a strand of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi was already this intimidating. How powerful would that be to attack with 108 strands of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi? ¡°With Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, my attacking power will increase by another level.¡± Qin Chen was very satisfied, kept the 108 traces of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, and absorbed them into his body. Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was also emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, but its attacking power was above others. Emperor Shi had been an ancient emperor known for his attack power. When he had been alive, it was said that he had once fought with the six great worlds outside Canglan Continent and defeated them all with a move. During his most glorious years, Qin Shihuang had ruled the world. All the various immortal dynasties, ancient holy lands, and aristocratic families had all surrendered to him. Chapter 54 - : Usurping the Throne ¡°Although I¡¯ve obtained an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it¡¯s only a slight increase in my attack power. I don¡¯t know when I can improve further and reach Juitian Realm.¡± Qin Chen sighed softly. He was already a Bahunag Realm great Venerable, but it would be difficult for him to enter Juitian Realm. So far, he had not found the opportunity yet. If he followed the rules and cultivated, it would take him thousands of years. Even if he had the Chaotic Holy Body, it would take him decades to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. However, it was too long for Qin Chen. It had only been a few decades since he had come to this world and cultivated until now. It was too long for him to spend decades entering Juitian Realm, so it would be terrific if the system could give him a chance to reach that level by checking in. He threw these useless thoughts out of his head and looked at the sky, which was clear and full of stars but now covered with dark clouds. The thunders broke the silence of the night. It didn¡¯t make sense. The Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty with a strong royal aura, so the sky should be clear all year round. Dark clouds couldn¡¯t have gathered here. There was only one possibility. It was a bad omen sign! Something significant was coming tomorrow at noon. The succession of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s emperor and the new emperor¡¯s ascension was undoubtedly a grand event for the entire Great Qin Dynasty and Central Province. Everyone was talking about this event. A dense crowd of people was holding the coronation ceremony in the imperial city, which was extremely grand. The sky once again displayed a clear and peaceful picture. Qin City was decorated with lanterns and colored lights, demonstrating a beautiful scene. Qin Chen looked up and saw that in the imperial city from Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s pavilion, and he could see the former emperor abdicate. The crown prince, Qin Feng, had changed into a dragon robe and a crown. He was about to complete the ceremony. The princes, princesses, and other important members of the imperial clan all stood on the two sides to witness this moment. The entire Great Qin Dynasty was paying close attention to this grand event. However, the weather changed all of a sudden. The next moment, dark clouds gathered. Qin City instantly turned dark. The sky was as black as ink, and thick bolts of lightning interweaved as if a terrible storm was about to come. All the citizens of Qin City looked up at the sky. Why did the weather change so suddenly? ¡°It¡¯s coronation day, but the weather is pathetic. Is this a sign that the universe thinks that the crown prince is not qualified to become the new emperor? ¡± Suddenly, a cold voice rang out and echoed throughout Qin City. The people were all shocked and started to doubt. There had never been such a change when the previous emperors ascended the throne. Unfortunately, only the crown prince, Qin Feng, ascended the throne, and such a change occurred. Did the universe seriously think that the crown prince wasn¡¯t qualified to be the emperor? ¡°All the coronation ceremonies for previous emperors were full of peace, love, and unity. Why is it that the weather turns depressing when ninth brother was about to sit on the throne?¡± ¡°Ninth brother, could it be that even the universe thinks that you can¡¯t become the emperor?¡± ¡°Ninth brother, even the sky turns dark. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re not suitable to be the new emperor. Why don¡¯t you hand the power to us?¡± ¡°Feng, why don¡¯t you give the throne to other brothers and sisters who are more capable? Otherwise, the Great Qin Dynasty will be in trouble if the universe doesn¡¯t favor this idea.¡± The princes and princesses spoke below the stage, adding insult to injury. Moreover, some other members of the imperial family also agreed with them. The crown prince looked up at the changing color sky, and his voice shook the entire Qin City. ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty is the people of Emperor Shi, so can anything stop us? The weather is not cooperative, but I am making it to follow my order.¡± Boom! After he roared, the dark clouds in the sky immediately dissipated and were replaced by a clear sky with a sunny day. Those trying to scheme against the crown prince were all shocked, for they didn¡¯t expect him to deal with the obstacle easily. In the distance, Qin Chen nodded slightly. His ninth brother had grown up and become more mature, so he knew how to solve the problem properly. However, those who didn¡¯t want the ninth prince to be crowned were upset with the situation. Everything seemed to be going on as usual in the imperial city for others, and the crown prince was in the midst of the coronation ceremony. However, Qin Chen could instantly tell that something was up. It was a smokescreen! Blockade! A top figure had taken action and sealed off the inside of the imperial city, changing the images inside and outside so that the people outside could not see the truth. Only a top expert could see through the illusion. A figure appeared in the sky above the imperial city, looked down at the crown prince, and said coldly, ¡°You have colluded with traitors in an attempt to seize the imperial power. It is unforgivable, and you are not qualified to ascend the throne. Qin Feng, if you abdicate now, everything will go peacefully. Also, you won¡¯t be accountable!¡± The crown prince raised his head and revealed a look of anger. ¡°Third Uncle, what are you doing?¡± That person man was his third uncle. ¡°Feng, you¡¯re not suitable to be the emperor. Just let it go,¡± Third Uncle said. ¡°You have gone too far. Feng was chosen as the emperor because he had passed through many obstacles. ¡± His eighth uncle stood out and glared at Third Uncle. The third uncle said, ¡°Eighth brother, you should try to talk Feng out of it. His personality is not strong enough, and he wants to release Concubine Yang from the Cold Palace. You know that she betrayed the last emperor and can not be released, right?¡± Concubine Yang was Qin Chen¡¯s mother. Just as the eighth uncle was about to speak, the eleventh uncle stepped forward and said coldly, ¡°Eighth brother, he is right. Feng colluded with a traitor and his crime is unforgivable. He can not be the emperor! ¡± ¡°I agree with them.¡± the nineteenth uncle also stood up and said, ¡°It¡¯s not too late to correct the problem now. We just need to help another prince to be the new emperor.¡± The eighth uncle¡¯s expression changed slightly. His three brothers represented a different group, so their objection was a complicated problem for him and the crown prince. The old emperor had not completely abdicated. He sat upright on the thrown and calmly watched this scene. He had chosen the ninth prince, Qin Feng, as the crown prince and was very satisfied with his performance over the past twenty years. That was why he had decided to abdicate in advance and pass the position to Qin Feng to succeed as the new emperor. However, he would not stop the imperial experts from usurping the throne. This was also a test for the crown prince. Before he had become the emperor, he had encountered more obstacles than the crown prince. On the other hand, nothing happened during his coronation ceremony. The old emperor believed that if the crown prince successfully passed this trial, it would be a great lesson for him. Qin Feng naturally knew his father saw this problem as a test, so he didn¡¯t ask for his help. His third uncle and the others were also aware of the fact, so they dared to make a move and usurp the throne. ¡°Guyus, who will be the new emperor if Feng abdicates?¡± his eighth uncle suddenly said. Chapter 55 - The Savior Sowing discord! The eighth uncle wanted to make the three against each other and reduce the threat to the crown prince. However, the third prince sneered and said, ¡°Eighth brother, are you trying to tear us apart? I know you already planned it out, but I am sorry. We¡¯ve already made preparations before we came here, and we¡¯ve decided to let the seventh prince ascend the throne.¡± The eighth uncle and the crown prince¡¯s expressions changed. The eighth uncle gritted his teeth. ¡°third brother, eleventh brother, nineteenth brother, it¡¯s not too late for you to back off now. Otherwise, the imperial elders won¡¯t just stand by and watch this happen. Aren¡¯t you afraid of them? ¡± When the third uncle and those who were against the crown prince heard about the imperial elders, they all showed a hint of fear. They all knew that these imperial elders were either the old emperors of the previous generations or the old experts of the imperial family, each of whom was more powerful than they could imagine. Moreover, they were all the protectors of the Great Qin imperial family. Once the imperial elders were involved, the others couldn¡¯t have a second opinion. No matter how many dirty tricks they played to seize the crown, it would be useless. ¡°Eighth brother, don¡¯t expect the imperial elders to help you.¡± The eleventh prince said coldly, ¡°They don¡¯t care about worldly matters like transition of power. They will only appear when the imperial family is in danger.¡± The eighth uncle and the crown prince¡¯s expressions were ashen. They were right, and the imperial elders indeed wouldn¡¯t care. Their status was so high that they could even decide who could be the next emperor. However, as long as the imperial family wasn¡¯t in danger, they would not care. The transition of power was just a game of thrones for them. If the imperial family still existed, it was fine. As for who was crowned, they did not care. The eighth uncle looked around, hoping that Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land would show up. If he did, he would be able to intimidate everyone as a Venerable, and the crown prince would be able to ascend the throne smoothly. The third uncle and the others had come forward to usurp the throne, but Elder King had not appeared. Was he not coming? The eighth uncle could not hide the strong disappointment in his heart and shouted at the crown prince, ¡°Feng, ascend the throne immediately. As long as you hold the imperial seal, you can control the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s energy. You have nothing to fear! I will stop them.¡± The crown prince also knew that he had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and quickly ascended the throne, rushing toward the throne. As long as he reached the throne, he could hold the imperial seal, which was left behind by the Qin Shihuang. Until then, he could control the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s energy. The protection power was tremendous and was enough to deal with all the hidden dangers. However, reaching the emperor¡¯s throne from the starting point would take quite a while. He had to go through several ceremonies to officially ascend the throne, including Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs to the emperor¡¯s throne. They were left behind by Emperor Shi, and no one could fly through Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs. Instead, he had to climb up step by step, which was a test for every new emperor. Moreover, the others would make things difficult for him. They all rush forward to stop the crown prince from ascending the throne. Apparently, every faction of the Great Qin Dynasty was against the crown prince and his supporters. More than a dozen Qiyao Realm Kings from different factions showed up, jumped in the air, and dashed toward the crown prince. ¡°Damm it!¡± The crown prince¡¯s expression was grim as he used Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi to battle with the Kings of the various factions. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! An intimidating battle broke out. More than ten Kings attacked the crown prince together, but the crown prince also had more than two to back him. What was more, there were also two Qiyao Realm Kings supporting them. Unfortunately, the three factions obviously owned more Kings than him. Cough! The crown prince¡¯s way to the throne was full of obstacles, and he was constantly blocked by various Kings. Although he had cultivated Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, he still couldn¡¯t fight against these many kings. As he kept coughing up blood, he looked weaker and weaker. However, he was fearless. At this moment, he demonstrated what he had learned from cultivating with Qin Chen in Taiyi Holy Land all these years. He immediately activated a Sage-level supernormal knowledge, Holy Light Shield, to protect himself. When they noticed him resisting most of the attacks, they went shocked. ¡°Holy Light Shield!¡± Even in the Great Qin Dynasty, only a handful of people had the right to cultivate Holy Light Shield. Even though he was the crown prince, he might not be able to have access to this kind of defensive supernormal knowledge. Where did the crown prince get such defensive supernormal knowledge? Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! After being attacked non-stop, the crown prince kept coughing up blood. He was already on level six of Qiyao Realm, which meant he was a rather powerful King. However, he couldn¡¯t be unharmed while facing more than seven Kings at the same time. Even a Sage-level supernormal knowledge couldn¡¯t completely protect him. Boom! In the end, Holy Light Shield was still broken. A burly figure appeared, and he said indifferently to the crown prince, ¡°Your Highness, you¡¯d better surrender and give up on the throne. Otherwise, you¡¯ll die for sure.¡± ¡°When I become to emperor, all of you rebels and traitors will die for sure,¡± the crown prince said in a cold voice as he rushed to the throne. ¡°If you don¡¯t know when to give up, then I have to say sorry.¡± The King rushing toward the crown prince was furious. He reached out his hand and tried to grab his head. Boom! At this moment, a figure appeared and blocked the burly King. With a loud bang, he was sent flying. However, this person was surrounded by divine light, so he couldn¡¯t see his face. He only knew that this person¡¯s blood qi was overwhelming, and his physical body was strong. ¡°Who is it?¡± The tall and sturdy King frowned. How would someone dare to help the crown prince at this point? It was like suicide, right? ¡°You don¡¯t need to know,¡± the person said coldly. On the other hand, the crown prince had a look of pleasant surprise, for he had recognized the figure. The Black Flood Dragon King had transformed into a human and was wearing pitch-black armor, so no one could tell who he was. However, after a fight, the crown prince got to know the Black Flood Dragon King, so he naturally recognized him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± said the Black Flood Dragon King, ¡°he¡¯s here. Everything will be fine.¡± Hearing these words, the crown prince felt a little more at ease. With his seventeenth brother, nothing couldn¡¯t be dealt with. The eighth uncle¡¯s expression brightened. Was Elder King from Taiyi Holy Land here? ¡°Your Highness, this is all you got? One more King can¡¯t save you,¡± the burly King said coldly and continued to attack. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The battle between the two Kings was astonishing and breathtaking. The third, eleventh, and nineteenth uncles, along with the other Qiyao Realm Kings, walked toward the crown prince coldly and said, ¡°Feng, it¡¯s useless. Having one more King doesn¡¯t mean anything.¡± ¡°Is that so? What about us?¡± At this time, Tiger King, Ape King, Eagle King, and Crocodile King, the four great demonic kings, also appeared. However, they were all in their human forms, and their blood qi was excessively powerful as they blocked the path of these Kings trying to hurt the crown prince. Chapter 56 - Qin Chen Is Here ¡°A King from Taiyi Holy Land? That¡¯s weird. There are Kings inTaiyi Holy Land, but it¡¯s only Lu Xuan and that little girl, Ling ran. When do these five Kings come from?¡± The eighth uncle frowned in confusion. However, it was still a good thing. With five more powerful Kings, it was of great help to the crown prince¡¯s side. They were able to stop many Kings. The crown prince took the opportunity to rush toward the throne. The throne was not far away, but there were Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs. One could not fly up through these stairs but had to walk up step by step. It was left by Emperor Shi, and only by crossing Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs could one become the true emperor and obtain the recognition of the imperial seal. The crown prince was climbing Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs. Every step he took, he was almost attacked by a King. He was in a very difficult situation. Even so, he still managed to climb more than 500 steps. He was halfway there, not far from success. ¡°Damn it, the crown prince is only 500 steps away from the throne. It will be tricky till then!¡± The three uncle¡¯s expressions changed drastically. However, they had no choice. Most of the Kings were being held back. Just a King wasn¡¯t strong enough to kill the crown prince. The crown prince had cultivated Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, which had the dragon spirit. He was very not only powerful but could defeat any King. The third uncle¡¯s expression turned grim. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. If we want to stop him from sitting on the throne, we should ask for his help now.¡± After saying this, he threw out a pitch-black jade medallion. The jade medallion immediately began to burn, turning into a black light that shot into the sky and disappeared. The crown prince, Qin Feng, was climbing up Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs. At this moment, he could feel that something was about to come. His heart sunk, and he immediately quickened my pace. A short figure appeared in the sky above the imperial city without a sound. His skin was like a withered tree sticking to his bones. He looked down at everything and laughed strangely, ¡°Qin San, you finally agreed to my conditions. Don¡¯t worry, now we have a deal. I¡¯ll fulfill my promise and kill this kid.¡± He then looked at the crown prince walking up the stairs and sneered. ¡± ¡°This kid¡¯s quite talented. He can be considered the most powerful one of the great Qin Dynasty¡¯s younger generation. It¡¯s a pity that he will be killed in the game of thrones. Time to go to hell, son.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he sent a palm flying through the air toward the crown prince. The palm contained a tremendous might and made every King in the scene change their expressions. ¡°This power¡­ Oh no, He is a Bahunag Realm Venerable!¡± ¡°A Venerable?¡± ¡°Did they just call out a Bahunag Realm Venerable?¡± The crown prince and his supporters all turned shocked. They hadn¡¯t expected to have a Bahunag Realm Venerable attack them. He was a top expert who could defeat anyone in the world. The old emperor sat on the throne, and his expression also changed. Grabbing the imperial seal, he was about to use the immortal divine dynasty¡¯s energy to protect his son. However, he still held back. He wanted to see how far his ninth son, Qin Feng, could go. Even though Qin Feng had begged him to release Concubine Yang several times, which made him upset, he still had high hopes for him. Of course, if the crown prince really couldn¡¯t be out of the woods, he would definitely take action. He couldn¡¯t just watch as it all happened. Boom! Boom! After the Bahunag Realm Venerable moved, the sky changed immediately. A huge hand smacked the crown prince, which was so powerful that it could destroy everything. The void collapsed. The two Qiyao Realm Kings and the eighth uncle tried to stop him, but they all fell down after being shattered and attacked. At this moment, everyone in the crown prince¡¯s faction was in despair. How could they fight against a Bahunag Realm Venerable? The crown prince would be dead for sure. Bahunag was only a level above Qiyao Realm, but there was a great difference between them. ¡°That¡¯s interesting. He resisted the attack once, but how many more can he take?¡± The mysterious old Venerable laughed coldly and attacked again. His large hand was like a demonic tablet that descended from the sky and struck heavily at the crown prince. At the same time, a strange withered aura was emitted from his chalky and gnarled palm. Not far away, a few grandmasters of Liuhe Realm from the crown prince¡¯s faction were affected by the withering aura because they were too close. In an instant, they all let out a shrill scream. as flesh and blood all over their bodies rapidly withered. After their blood and qi had completely dried up, they turned into nothing but bones in just a few seconds. These drunken and dried corpses ran everyone¡¯s blood cold. ¡°Power of Withering! You¡¯re Withered Leaf Venerable!¡± A King from the crown prince¡¯s faction exclaimed after recognizing the mysterious old Venerable. It was the famous Withered Leaf Venerable. There were only a few Venerables in the world, and each of them was a super expert widely known worldwide, so it was easy to recognize them. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Withered Leaf Venerable!¡± The third uncle sneered. He had paid a huge price to have Withered Leaf Venerable fight for him. However, he now was sure that it was all worth it. A Bahunag Realm Venerable was the game changer. Just as Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s bony hand was about to hit the crown prince, the old emperor on the throne was ready to make his move. He would not allow anyone to kill the crown prince he had chosen. Beside him, the beautiful and noble empress stepped forward and stopped the old emperor. ¡°Your Majesty, you shouldn¡¯t have interfered in this matter.¡± Obviously, the empress did not want the crown prince to succeed. A mysterious figure appeared silently in front of the crown prince and slapped out, clashing with Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s palm. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Withered Leaf Venerable snorted coldly, and the power of his gnarled hand increased dramatically and was enough to kill every King in the scene. The next second, a strong light hit everyone¡¯s eyes! Whoooosh¡­ To everyone¡¯s surprise, the one who retreated was Withered Leaf Venerable. ¡°Withered Leaf Venerable!¡± The third uncle, the nineteenth uncle, and the others were shocked. That was the legendary and famous Withered Leaf Venerable. How could he be defeated? They immediately looked at the figure, whose body was shrouded in a hazy light. None of them could see the man¡¯s face, but it was very familiar. Their faces turned grim, and they said word by word, ¡°Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King!¡± They hadn¡¯t expected the presence of Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King. There were only a few Bahunag Realm Venerables in the world, right? Both Withered Leaf Venerable and Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land were in this realm. ¡°Elder King! Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land is here!¡± The eighth uncle was surprised and overjoyed. When the third uncle and the others appeared to stop the crown prince from ascending to the throne and send numerous experts to attack him, Elder hadn¡¯t shown up. He had thought that he wouldn¡¯t come today. Much to his surprise, Elder King was here and stopped Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s fatal attack. Withered Leaf Venerable looked at the man with a hint of surprise. ¡°You are Elder King from Taiyi Holy Land. People are right. You are a Bahunag Realm Venerable as well.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s body was surrounded by light, and no one could see his face. He looked at Withered Leaf Venerable and said indifferently, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a Bahunag Realm Venerable, too? It¡¯s just that your cultivation style is a bit strange.¡± Chapter 57 - The Palm Withered Leaf Venerable smiled faintly and said with a hint of pride, ¡°I¡¯ve been in Bahunag Realm for more than 2000 years, so I¡¯m an senior Venerable. Why don¡¯t we make things easy for each other? If you leave now, I can pretend as if nothing happened. What do you think? ¡± There were strong and weak Venerables. For example, Withered Leaf Venerable had been in Bahunag Realm for more than 2000 years, so his cultivation was beyond measure and far beyond ordinary Venerables. Upon hearing this, the crown prince¡¯s expression changed. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°Seventeenth brother, you¡¯d better leave. Withered Leaf Venerable is an senior Venerable who¡¯s been in Bahunag Realm for a long time. His cultivation is beyond measure. You don¡¯t have to take risks for me. Just leave.¡± The crown prince obviously knew a little about Withered Leaf Venerable. How strong was a Bahunag Realm Venerable who had lived for more than 4000 years? He was probably at the level of a great Venerable. The crown prince was very grateful to Qin Chen. It was already nice enough that he had come to help him during the coronation ceremony, but he could not let anything happen to him. ¡°An senior Venerable who has lived for more than 4000 years¡­¡± Qin Chen looked at Withered Leaf Venerable. He was short and old, as thin as a stick, but he was very powerful, far stronger than the others present. ¡°I am way older than you, and I can even be your dad,¡± Withered Leaf Venerable said indifferently. ¡°You¡¯ve only been in Bahunag Realm for less than 200 years, so your cultivation is not enough. Taiyi Holy Land finally has a Bahunag Realm Venerable, which means it has hope of revival. You¡¯d better not get involved. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind making Taiyi Holy Land lose another Venerable and decline again.¡± ¡°We¡¯re screwed up!¡± The eighth uncle was in despair. He did not think that Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land could fight against Withered Leaf Venerable. Moreover, if he stayed, he would indeed be in great danger and might even die. Withered Leaf Venerable had been famous for thousands of years, and new Venerables knew they shouldn¡¯t mess around with him. ¡°You¡¯re right. I¡¯ve been in Bahunag Realm for less than 200 years,¡± Qin Chen said. ¡°It¡¯s even less than thirty years,¡± he thought in his heart. However, he didn¡¯t plan to flinch. On the contrary, he took a step forward, faced Withered Leaf Venerable, and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance as well. You¡¯d better not get involved in this matter. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind making the world lose a Venerable.¡± As his voice fell, the world fell silent! He had sent the same message to Withered Leaf Venerable. The third, eleventh, and nineteenth uncles couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He was digging his own grave! Withered Leaf Venerable was the ultimate Venerable who had ruled the world for thousands of years. How could a new Venerable who had entered Bahunag Realm less than 200 years ago threaten such a senior Venerable? He didn¡¯t know what he was doing. Withered Leaf Venerable squinted his eyes and said, ¡°This is the first time in years I¡¯ve seen someone so confident in front of me. You¡¯re quite courageous.¡± ¡°Is that so? If that¡¯s the case, then show me what you got.¡± Qin Chen smiled. Boom! Taking a step forward, Qin Chen made the first move and struck out with his palm. Withered Leaf Venerable confidently raised his hand and sneered, ¡°Very good. Let your daddy teach you what¡¯s a real Venerable¡­ What!¡± The next moment, his expression changed when he felt an enormous power being transmitted from Elder King¡¯s hand, which heavily bombarded his palm. Clack! In the next moment, Withered Leaf Venerable was horrified to see his palm explode. Blood spurted out, and his bones were shattered. It was horrifying. Elder King shattered Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s palm in the blink of an eye. His figure flew back a thousand feet, and he spat out as he coughed up blood. All of his internal organs had been injured by the residual force of Qin Chen¡¯s palm. How could Withered Leaf Venerable be a match for a Bahunag Realm great Venerable? Withered Leaf Venerable looked at Qin Chen in disbelief and said in a scared tone, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. You¡¯ve only been in Bahunag Realm for less than 200 years. How can you be this powerful? You¡¯re not a new Venerable, but you¡¯re at least a top-tier Venerable in level seven, no, level right.¡± However, how could a person who had entered Bahuang Realm less than 200 years ago become a level eight top Venerable? That cultivation speed was too shocking. ¡°Level eight?¡± Qin Chen sneered and did not say anything. Instead, he took a step forward and kept slapping him. Withered Leaf Venerable wanted to avoid it, but he couldn¡¯t. Qin Chen¡¯s seemingly simple palm contained a unique force that sealed off the entire void. He was completely locked in and couldn¡¯t escape. Withered Leaf Venerable shouted, and a fishing rod appeared in his hand. It was a fishing rod in the shape of bamboo and had nine segments, but it was a Venerable divine weapon refined from a naturally mutated divine bamboo. It released an intimidating withering power and swept towards Qin Chen¡¯s palm. Withered Leaf Venerable shouted, ¡°Withered Sky! Destroyed Land!¡± This was a Venerable-level supernormal knowledge that he had cultivated for himself. With this Venerable-level weapon, he could even heavily hurt a Venerable. However, the immense withering power was directly dispersed when Qin Chen¡¯s palm struck the nine-segment divine bamboo. His massive palm smashed the Venerable-level divine weapon into pieces. Pieces of the divine bamboo and palm print heavily struck Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s body. Cough! Like a kite with a broken string, Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s body was sent flying, blood spurting out of his body as he landed heavily on the ground. The world went silent! Everyone¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief! This was unbelievable! Withered Leaf Venerable, who had been famous for thousands of years, was defeated within a second. They would not have believed what had happened if they had not seen it. ¡°You have lived so long but just in level six of Bahunag Realm. Where is your talent? How dare you act like this in front of me?¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. He didn¡¯t take Withered Leaf Venerable seriously at all and described him as an ungifted cultivator. However, no one could refute him because Withered Leaf Venerable was lying on the ground, coughing up blood. His qi was weak. Who would have thought that a newly-advanced Venerable who had entered Bahunag Realm less than 200 years ago would be able to defeat and severely injure a senior Venerable like Withered Leaf Venerable? Withered Leaf Venerable was furious. He looked at Qin Chen in the sky, coughed up blood, and said, ¡°Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land, don¡¯t think that you¡¯re invincible. Do you really think I¡¯m the only one here? ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the crown prince¡¯s faction were all shocked. What did he mean? Could it be that other Venerables had come? The third uncle was in despair, but Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s words made him sigh with relief and laugh. ¡°Withered Leaf Venerable, please ask the other Venerables to show up and kill Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land. It¡¯s said that they have Emperor relics, and I believe Taiyi Holy Land can¡¯t defeat Venerables like you without Elder King. Till then, you will have all the treasures there.¡± No cultivator in the world could resist the temptation of Emperor relics, including the Venerables of Bahunag Realm. ¡°Are you talking about Frozen Venerable?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression did not change. After he moved his arms, the sky changed. The void changed on the other side of the Imperial City, and a battle between Venerables was about to start. A white-robed old man exuded an intense cold aura. Heavy snow kept falling from the sky, and every snowflake contained an extreme cold power that could freeze the void. Apparently, he was also a Bahunag Realm Venerable. However, at this moment, he looked somewhat pathetic. A terrifying thousands-of-feet-long dragon had appeared in front of him, covering the sky and the sun as it soared through the clouds. Chapter 58 - The New Emperor Qin Chen was still fighting against Withered Leaf Venerable in the Imperial City. Frozen Venerable, whom Withered Leaf Venerable had invited outside the Imperial City, was also blocked by the dragon. The terrifying dragon was thousands of feet long, like a huge mountain range in the sky. It suppressed the void and gave off an overwhelming aura. The wind and clouds shook, and the color of the sky changed. ¡°Frozen Venerable, it¡¯s been years since we saw each other last time, but your cultivation hasn¡¯t improved at all,¡± the dragon said slowly. After the dragon attacked with his claws, the famous Frozen Venerable was slammed to the ground. He crashed into many imperial palaces, creating a huge pit. Frozen Venerable lay in the huge pit with weak qi, and he coughed up a lot of blood. This was not the beginning of the battle. They had been fighting for a while. ¡°That¡¯s ¡­ Dragon Venerable, Lord Dragon!¡± Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s expression changed. Frozen Venerable was his good friend and an accomplice in helping the third uncle and the others to usurp the throne. Withered Leaf Venerable had thought he was cautious enough. Although he knew that he could handle the situation, he was worried that the elders of the great Qin imperial family would make a move, so he invited Frozen Venerable. Of course, he would ask the third uncle and the others to pay for the price. He had thought that there would be no problems with the two Venerables. Who would have thought that he would be defeated? Even his other helper, Frozen Venerable, was defeated by Lord Dragon. ¡°Damn it, why are there two Veberables here?¡± Withered Leaf Venerable was shocked and furious, for both Elder King and Lord Dragon were not ordinary Venerables. The third uncle and the others were shocked, angry, and frightened. They had thought that victory was in their hands, but they had never expected that the crown prince would invite two Venerables and defeat them. Qin Chen glanced at the heavily injured Withered Leaf Venerable on the ground, and his eyes were filled with killing intent as he snapped his finer. Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger! A giant finger that looked like a pillar appeared in the sky and pointed at Withered Leaf Venerable with a murderous aura. ¡°What is¡­¡± The five Imperial elders guarding Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace could no longer sit still. They rushed out of the palace and saw the finger descending. Looking at the massive finger and feeling a tremendous power, they said in shock, ¡°This is Great Desolate Ancient Emperor¡¯s emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger!¡± Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s expression changed dramatically, for he could feel the death coming. If he was hit by this finger, he would die without a doubt. He wanted to escape but was completely suppressed by the aura and couldn¡¯t move. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Boom! The intimidating emperor-grade supernormal knowledge landed on Withered Leaf Venerable. Withered Leaf Venerable¡¯s body and soul had been destroyed! Soon, an enormous explosion was about to travel thousands of feel and destroy everything. ¡°Damn it! Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger is an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge! Also, the man activating this spell is a great Venerable! Its power will be so massive that it will destroy half of the imperial city!¡± The expressions of several Imperial elders in Emperor Shi¡¯s Palace changed, and they were about to rush out and suppress this destructive power. Otherwise, if it exploded, the core members of the imperial family gathered at the coronation would definitely die. At this moment, Qin Chen made his move. A surge of great venerable power was released, suppressing and dissipating the destructive power. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, for they had had one foot in the grave. The Imperial elders let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, they exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were filled with shock. Elder King from Taiyi Holy Land was far more powerful than he had imagined. He was likely already a great Venerable at the peak of Bahuang Realm. After killing Withered Leaf Venerable, Qin Chen¡¯s gaze swept across all the Kings who had attacked the crown prince. He snorted coldly and said, ¡°The crown prince is my disciple. How dare you touch a hair on his head? You should go to hell!¡± He took a step forward, and with his foot at the center, circles of invisible ripples spread out like lightning. In the sky, the King fell like raindrops, coughing up blood. They were the third, eleventh, and nineteenth uncle¡¯s lackeys. Even a few kings who were not from the imperial family were crushed and killed. Sweep! At this moment, the crown prince quickly passed through Thousand-step Heavenly Stairs and ascended the throne, officially taking the imperial seal from the old emperor. In an instant, the energy of the divine dynasty gathered on his body. He looked down at the third uncle and the others and said, ¡°I am the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty now. Does any of you have a problem with it?¡± The third uncle and the others smiled wryly. How would they dare to have a problem? There was a powerful Venerable who had defeated Withered Leaf Venerable. Moreover, the crown prince had the imperial seal and could control the energy of the dynasty. Qin Feng was extremely powerful and could not be resisted at all! They knelt down on one knee and said in unison, ¡°Yes, Your Majesty!¡± ¡°Very good!¡± The current new emperor, the crown prince, looked at the third, eleventh, and nineteenth uncle, the second and seventh Prince, the thirteenth Princess, and the other members against him. He said coldly, ¡°Today is coronation ceremony. Qin San, Qin Ming, Qin Nan, Qin Xia¡­ and their compliance dared to scheme and usurp the throne. They are extremely audacious and unforgivable. From today onwards, their cultivation will be sealed, and they will be locked up in the Imperial prison for three hundred years!¡± They would be locked up in the imperial prison for three hundred years! The expressions of the third uncle and the others changed drastically, for only those who had committed unpardonable crimes would be locked up in the Imperial prison. The environment there was extremely harsh, and it was impossible for the members of the imperial family, who usually lived in luxury like them, to survive there. However, when they saw the cold look on the new emperor¡¯s face, the two Venerables from Taiyi Holy Land, Elder King and Lord Dragon, and the place where Withered Leaf Venerable was killed, they suddenly fell silent and did not dare to object. The new emperor looked coldly at the third uncle and the other royal members being sent to the Imperial prison. This was because they were Qiyao Realm Kings and were rare and important experts of the imperial family. Otherwise, ordinary members of the imperial family would have been executed. ¡­ In the Great Qin Dynasty, an internal conflict that should have engulfed the entire immortal divine dynasty was resolved. The crown prince, Qin Feng, had successfully ascended the throne as the emperor. Many members of the Great Qin Dynasty royal family were tempted to make a move. However, at this moment, after seeing how powerful the two Venerables were, they all gave up. After all, no one was willing to mess around with two Venerables. Both of them had defeated other Venerables, and one of them had even killed the famous Withered Leaf Venerable. Frozen Venerable was also pinned down. Although there were other Venerables in the Great Qin Dynasty, they had been in retreat for thousands of years. They would only appear when the Great Qin Dynasty faced an extermination crisis. Otherwise, they would only watch from the sidelines and would not appear even if there was a new emperor. Qin Feng ascended the throne as the new emperor. He was a speed demon, immediately dealing with domestic issues and national problems. Soon after, the potential risks within the dynasty were solved. Those who had been against him at the coronation ceremony were ripped all out, root and stem. Moreover, he also weakened the power of the previous empress, the current empress dowager¡¯s faction. The process was bound to encounter major obstacles. Many Kings and capable officials in the dynasty tried to challenge his decision. Unfortunately, it was destined to be a failure for them. The new emperor had Qin Chen¡¯s support, so all the Kings didn¡¯t dare to be against him anymore. Although the empress dowager¡¯s faction was very powerful and rooted in the royal family, it could not compete with the current emperor. In the end, the emperor used various means to suppress and dispel them. The new emperor had broken down a distinguished faction, which could no longer make a move. Like that, the great Qin imperial family was divided into several factions, but Qin Feng united everyone. He quickly resolved all the hidden dangers on the surface and in the dark. At this point, he had firmly controlled the whole dynasty. Qin Feng had also become the most powerful emperor in the Great Qin Dynasty in the past 100,000 years. Qin Chen witnessed the whole process and was impressed by his ninth brother¡¯s leading ability as a ruler. If he had been the emperor, things would have been too complicated for him. Chapter 59 - The Minister When Qin Feng had just ascended the throne, Qin Chen had protected his ninth brother and had never left. He had always been in Qin City with Lord Dragon, silently intimidating all those who were against his brother. Among them, there were also some spies from other immortal divine dynasties who wanted to obtain information and arrange for some spies to enter the dynasty. To the various royal families, this was a common method. Within every dynasty, there were spies from other dynasties that silently monitored everything. Even the most powerful emperor couldn¡¯t completely resolve all the hidden dangers because they were hidden too deeply. Moreover, the imperial capital was open to the public, and anyone could enter. It was truly too difficult to thoroughly get rid of them. The emperor didn¡¯t mind, saying, ¡°It¡¯s good that there are spies. Otherwise, the spies we¡¯ve placed in the other immortal divine dynasties will also be killed if we eliminate all of them.¡± This was an unspoken rule for the immortal divine dynasties. Each of them had arranged for their own spies to enter and monitor each other. On the other hand, they would do anything to each other¡¯s spices. Once the Great Qin Dynasty killed the species, the other immortal dynasties would also break this unspoken rule and eliminate theirs. During this period of time, Qin Chen stayed in the Imperial City. However, there was something else he needed to do. Now, his mother, Concubine Yang, had been released from the Cold Palace by the new emperor, Qin Feng. Naturally, she had become a queen dowager. After Concubine Yang was released, her expression was calm, as if being locked up in the cold Palace for decades was not worth mentioning to her. However, after being locked up for so many years, this legendary concubine who dared to fight against the former empress back then had actually reached Qiyao Realm. It was truly shocking. Qin Chen did not let her know who he was because he did not feel much affection when he saw Concubine Yang. After all, he was just a soul that had transmigrated from the earth. Moreover, his mother in this world had treated him somewhat distantly since he was a mortal, so he did not feel connected with her. Qin Chen was a great Venerable, which meant Concubine Yang couldn¡¯t sense that he was here. ¡°Seventeenth brother, are you sure you don¡¯t want to return to the imperial family?¡± The emperor hoped to restore Qin Chen¡¯s royal status and bring him back to the Great Qin Dynasty. In his opinion, his seventeenth brother, Qin Chen, was from the Great Qin Dynasty. He should not stay in the Taiyi Holy Land. Instead, he should return and rule the Great Qin Dynasty with him. However, Qin Chen directly rejected him. He enjoyed his current peaceful and carefree life. Moreover, he had no interest in the position of the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, nor did he want to restore his status as a member of the royal family. There was nothing to complain about his lifestyle. Although the emperor wanted Qin Chen to return, Qin Chen was very determined. He could only give up and sigh, but he was also angry at the actions of the imperial family in the past. They had kicked a Bahunag Realm Great Venerable, like his seventeenth brother, out of the great Qin imperial family. Otherwise, with the help of his seventeenth brother, he could have led the Great Qin Dynasty to a golden age. His seventeenth brother had become a great Venerable at a young age, so he knew that he would enter Juitian Realm and become a Sage one day. Until then, a young and powerful Saint would be protecting the Great Qin Dynasty. In this way, they would definitely become the number one among the four immortal divine dynasties under the hands of the two brothers. At least no immortal divine dynasty had a Juitian Realm Sage on the surface. The emperor had no choice but announced that Elder King was to be the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s minister. In the Great Qin Dynasty, the minister was the second in line to the emperor, so there was no one above him but the emperor. He could even remove any officials at will and challenge the emperor. Undoubtedly, the eighth uncle and all the court officials had first opposed this move because Qin Chen would have too much power. The eighth uncle believed that after a powerful cultivator like Elder King was assigned to be the minister, he might overthrow the emperor and take the position. However, the emperor was very determined and ignored his opposition. Only the emperor knew that if Qin Chen had wanted to, the position of the emperor would have belonged to him. The one sitting on the throne could have been him. The position of the minister could be considered as compensation. Qin Chen smiled wryly after receiving the news, but there was nothing he could do. He could only accept the offer. Of course, it was also because although the minister was powerful, he did not need to go to court. This was similar to the position of Elder King in Taiyi Holy Land, but this position was far superior in all aspects. On the other hand, he also understood that his ninth brother was also using his deterrent force to stabilize the imperial power. Moreover, even Lord Dragon was conferred the title of imperial guardian Venerable by the emperor, and the five great demon kings of the demon Valley became imperial guardian Kings. During his stay in the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Chen was able to read the Great Qin royal family¡¯s Book of Shihuang. This was the ultimate imperial sutra created by Emperor Shi, Qin Shihuang, which was extremely profound and contained the great path of controlling the world. What was more, it also contained Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, known as the most powerful attacking technique. The imperial sutra worked for Qin Chen, but it was not that effective. He mainly cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, which activated his Chaotic Holy Body, pushed it to a higher level, released the great path in him, and eventually helped him become stronger. On the other hand, comprehending the imperial sutra of Emperor Shi would also have a great effect on himself. He cultivated Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. After thoroughly absorbing the sutra, he was able to make this technique even more powerful. Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge divided into four stages: beginner, intermediate, master, and ultimate. These four stages represented the mastery of the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. The yellow, black, earth, heaven, grade, black, earth, heaven, king, Venerable, Sage-level, and other levels of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge were also divided in this way. 1 However, at Qin Chen¡¯s current level, he did not care too much about supernormal knowledge below the emperor grade. Qin Chen had only the cultivated emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, to the primer level. After all, he had only cultivated it for a short period of time. Moreover, it was supernormal knowledge created by a great ancient emperor and was extremely profound. He had to rely on the dragon spirit to reach the intermediate level. After a period of cultivation, he gradually improved his skill of supernormal knowledge and reached the master level. Every time one¡¯s mastery of a divine ability increased to a higher level, the power that one could display would also increase to a higher level. At the master level, he could demonstrate Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon even better. With Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation as a great venerate and his Chaotic Holy Body, he could deal with the immortals. He even believed that by using the master level of Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, he might be able to kill a Sage. However, Qin Chen had never really met any Juitian Realm Sage. The only one he had met was the Sage-level Demon King from Taiyi Holy Land, which was not the real one. Therefore, he did not clearly know how capable a Juitian Realm Sage could be. In the later stages of cultivation, the gap would grow bigger. It was said that a strand of hair from a Juitian Realm Sage could destroy the earth and behead any King. One day, Qin Chen wandered around in boredom and accidentally came to a desolate ancient palace in the imperial city. The ancient hall was mysterious and distant. Other than the guards, there was no one else. The ancient hall seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. However, when he passed by this place, the system notified him that it had an unusually strong divinity, which made him stop and pay attention to it. Chapter 60 - Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint Qin Chen raised his head and saw a city tower beside him. It was very tall and majestic, and it was filled with an immortal divine aura. It was very special. Opening his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, he could see the boundless imperial aura rushing into the sky. It was as if a great ancient emperor had once stood here, but it was extremely familiar. It was Qin Shihuang, who had once stood on a tall building. There were thousands of corpses below, and the weakest was in Qiyao Realm. Some of them had been in Bahunag Realm before dying, and hundreds of Juitian Realm Sages¡¯ dead bodies. Numerous Sages, Venerables, and Kings were buried here! Other than the great ancient emperor, who else in the world could have killed this many powerful cultivators? ¡°Your Excellency.¡± Suddenly, a voice rang out. Qin Chen looked into the darkness and saw a skinny figure appear without a sound. He wore a simple black robe and looked like an ordinary old man in his seventies or eighties. He looked at Qin Chen and bowed with a smile. Qin Shiqi, an imperial elfer. His surname was Qin, and his first name was Shiqi. Just like Qin Chen, he had been once the seventeenth Prince. However, Qin Shiqi was extremely talented back then and was crowned as the crown prince of the royal family. Because it had been a long time, few people remembered his real name. Most people called him Qin Shiqi. He was an experienced cultivator and had a long lifespan. So far, he had been an elder of the Great Qin Dynasty for almost 3000 years. He was truly an old man. At the same time, he was one of the two imperial elders in Bahunag Realm. Qin Chen naturally knew of this person¡¯s arrival. Around this area, no one could appear without him knowing. ¡°Your Excellency.¡± Qin Chen also nodded slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, he was also an old senior who had cultivated for many years. Qin Shiqi looked at the tower and smiled. ¡°Your cultivation is indeed beyond measure. You can sense that it¡¯s an extraordinary place.¡± ¡°Please explain to me,¡± Qin Chen replied. ¡°This place is where Emperor Shi, Qin Shihuang, burned books and buried scholars!¡± Qin Shiqi said proudly. Hearing this, Qin Chen came to a realization. He thought of the Great Qin Dynasty. When Qin Shihuang was still alive, he ruled the world and was extremely powerful. During this period, some Confucian scholars thought that Emperor Shi was too brutal. Many of the Confucian experts wrote a letter together to demonstrate their ideas to the emperor. No one knew what was written in the letter, but it angered Qin Shihuang in the end. His fury made him burn the books and bury the scholars, killing all the Confucian experts who had sent him the letter. This incident shocked the whole world. This was where Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars! ¡°May I ask why Emperor Shi burned books and buried scholars here?¡± Qin Chen asked curiously. This was definitely a secret that was related to the ancient emperors, and it was even related to Emperor Shi. Hearing this, Qin Shiqi shook his head. He looked confused and answered, ¡°Not to mention outsiders, even the Great Qin imperial family is not sure because Emperor Shi did not leave any explanation. However, according to our understanding of Emperor Shi, he would not easily burned books and buried scholars. Back when the Great Qin Dynasty was still under the rule of Emperor Shi, Confucians were the main force to educate the world. They were also his ministers, and they worked for him for years. There were even records that some Confucians Sages had reprimanded Emperor Shi for some of his actions, and he accepted them with an open mind without feeling offended.¡± ¡°As for what happend about burning books and burying scholars, we are not too sure what was that about.¡± Qin Chen was stunned. Even the great Qin imperial family didn¡¯t know about it. There was no doubt that there was something behind the reason Emperor Shi had burned books and buried scholars. Qin Chen was very curious. Emperor Shi was one of the greatest emperors in history, so he should have been open-minded. How come he had decided to burn books and bury scholars? [A super-strong divinity has been detected here. Would you like to check in here?? ] The system¡¯s notification rang again. This was the first time Qin Chen had heard the system¡¯s second notification and even mentioned super-strong divinity. ¡°System, I want to check in here!¡± Qin Chen made a prompt decision and checked in there. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in and obtained Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!] A piece of information appeared in his mind, which delighted Qin Chen. Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint was a heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge. A heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge was an invincible supernormal knowledge developed by a heavenly emperor, which was a level higher than an emperor-grade one. There had been many ancient emperors in the entire Canglan Continent, but only a few of them were heavenly emperors. One of them was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, an unrivaled existence that had suppressed everyone since ancient times. He was known as a heavenly emperor. That was why Chaotic Holy Body was known as the number one body type at all times. People also Qin Shihuang was also known as a great existence that was suspected to be a heavenly emperor. When he was alive, he ruled the world and united the continent. Even ancient emperors were killed by him. He was undefeatable, and thus, he was also known as the emperor of the Ages. Now, the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint Qin Chen had obtained by checking in here was very likely to be heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge Emperor Shi had left, even though he had never announced that such a technique existed. A piece of supernormal knowledge quickly entered Qin Chen¡¯s mind, allowing him to understand the situation instantly. After learning the cultivation method of Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, he was amazed. ¡°This is indeed heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, truly astonishing,¡± he thought. Even Qin Chen, who had a check-in system, was amazed. Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint could be considered the most powerful technique. When Qin Shihuang used this technique, he directly killed a great ancient emperor. This was where the legend being documented in Gods of Honour came from. Gods of Honour was a record of all the strongest supernormal knowledge in history. Those that could be on it were all emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. Moreover, they were the forbidden ones among the supernormal knowledge, which meant they were ultimate. He was a great Venerable, and with the help of the Chaotic Holy Body, he could even fight against Immortals and Juitian Realm Sages. After obtaining Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, he was sure that he could even kill an ordinary Juitian Realm Sages easily. As a great Venerable with Chaotic Holy Body, ee could not only fight against Sages but defeat Juitian Realm Sages. He was a powerful figure, but he would be able to kill a Sage with Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint. Qin Chen was overjoyed. He had the power to kill Sages, so he would be able to deal with Juitian Realm Sages from now on. Thinking about this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. He wished there was one in front of him to test if Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint was indeed this powerful. Of course, this was just an assumption. He would only know the truth after facing a Juitian Realm Sage. Moreover, before demonstrating the mighty of the heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he needed to practice Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint at the beginner or intermediate level. Qin Shiqi suddenly looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯re invincible in the world. You killed the demonic venerable Yang Tiancheng, who was famous three thousand years ago, in Taiyi Holy Land, and forced the Kings of other immortal holy lands to retreat. Not long ago, you also defeated Withered Leaf Venerable with a short period of time. I¡¯ve always wondered and wanted to know who Elder King is. Since Taiyi Holy Land has produced such an ultimate great Venerable like Elder King, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s not just a nobody.¡± Chapter 61 - Leave For a long time, the world had been very curious about the identity of Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King. How could such a Venerable of the Bahuang realm remain unknown? However, even if the people of the Taiyi Holy Land had doubts, they would not ask. They only needed to know that the Elder King was on the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s side. Moreover, it could be seen that the Elder King had no ill intentions toward the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, he did not even want the position of the Holy Lord. Even the position of Elder King had only been accepted reluctantly. However, Qin Shiqi was a senior elder of the Great Qin Dynasty. He had a high status and his cultivation had reached the Bahuang realm, thus respected as a Venerable. In terms of influence over the Great Qin Dynasty, even Qin Feng, who had complete rule over the Great Qin Dynasty, could not compare to him. He could use the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s resources as he pleased. His cultivation, power, influence, and qualifications were all at the peak of the mortal world. There was no problem for him to ask the Elder King this question. His old eyes wanted to see through the light on the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King and see the latter¡¯s true face. Unfortunately, even a powerful Venerable like him could not penetrate the light. Qin Shiqi knew that Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King had unfathomable cultivation. Qin Chen¡¯s body was surrounded by wisps of light, making him look mysterious and unpredictable. He stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re too kind. I¡¯m just a handyman of the Taiyi Holy Land. I spend my time sweeping the Holy Land all year round, just an ordinary person.¡± Qin Shiqi frowned. He didn¡¯t believe that such a great figure was just a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land. However, since the other party was unwilling to say anything, he naturally could not probe further. Furthermore, the other party was now the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, a title personally bestowed by the Imperial Lord, so he was considered a member of the Great Qin Dynasty as well. As Qin Chen left, Qin Shiqi stared at his back and muttered to himself, ¡°Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, who are you? It can¡¯t be that you don¡¯t even have a name, right¡­¡± However, how could he have imagined that this Elder King, whose identity he had been guessing about for a long time, was actually the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty who had been exiled to the remote regions? After a quiet night, another riot broke out in the Imperial City the next day. Someone took action and started a rebellion, demanding the Imperial Lord abdicate. Of course, those were all old officials who supported the factions of the other princes and princesses. Now that the Imperial Lord was ¡°cleaning¡± the imperial court in an attempt to remove the hidden bombs in the Empire, many people¡¯s interests were affected. As a result, they jumped out and tried to stop the Imperial Lord¡¯s actions in the name of bringing order back. All this was not a problem though. For the Imperial Lord, he could easily suppress them. As time passed, Imperial Lord Qin Feng gradually gained control of the entire Great Qin Dynasty. Many hidden dangers were forcefully removed by forceful means. The entire Great Qin Dynasty seemed to be developing in a prosperous direction. Unknowingly, it had been half a year since the usurping of power. Qin Chen had stayed in the Imperial City for half a year. During this period, although many rebels attacked the Imperial Lord, they were all suppressed in the end. The Imperial Lord¡¯s power spread across all branches of the Empire. He gradually drew all the power into his own hands, wanting to forge the Great Qin Dynasty into an iron bucket. Furthermore, the Imperial Lord who possessed the heirloom seal could control part of the divine dynasty¡¯s energy and could thus unleash cultivation that was not inferior to that of a Bahuang realm Venerable. Moreover, because he had Qin Chen, the great Venerable Minister, and Lord Dragon, the country protector Venerable, backing him up, it was difficult for the rebels to cause any big waves. They were all suppressed. On the other hand, Qin Chen had also left Frozen Venerable behind. Frozen Venerable was no longer the awe-inspiring Venerable he once was, but a puppet. In the past half a year, Qin Chen had truly obtained many shocking treasures by checking in here in this Dynasty left behind by Qin Shihuang. One of them was when he once again went to the place where Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars. He checked in there and obtained a secret technique called the ¡°Jiutian Corpse-refining Technique¡±, an emperor-grade secret technique. The Jiutian Corpse-refining Technique was a supreme secret technique created by an ancient Imperial Lord in the primordial era who was a professional in corpses. The technique was ranked as an emperor-grade secret technique and allowed one to refine powerful corpses into puppets. When cultivated to a high level, even living creatures could be refined into puppets. Thus, Qin Chen refined Frozen Venerable into a puppet. Although he was called a ¡°puppet¡±, he was now more like a slave. The slavery went into the depths of his soul, making Frozen Venerable completely loyal to Qin Chen. Although Frozen Venerable was only at level five of the Bahuang realm, he was a famous venerable. With him protecting the new Imperial Lord Qin Feng in secret, Qin Chen could rest easy. In addition, the Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty. Two of the five imperial elders were also Venerables. Furthermore, the Great Qin Dynasty still had the foundation of a divine dynasty that could not be ignored. In this world, four great Venerables were enough to maintain the rule of the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°Alright, 9th brother, it¡¯s time for me to leave.¡± Although the rebels had kept causing trouble within the half a year that he had been guarding, the Imperial Lord had been able to deal with them one by one. Qin Chen felt that he had thus completed his mission and there was no need for him to stay any longer. It was time to leave. In the Daxiong Palace Hall, the Imperial Lord was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. His imperial aura was surging, and he was more shrewd than before. He seemed unfathomable and truly looked like the unparalleled Imperial Lord who ruled the divine dynasty that spanned hundreds of millions of miles. His cultivation was also improving. With the elixir pills that Qin Chen gave him from time to time and the help of the divine dynasty¡¯s energy, his cultivation speed increased. In just half a year, he had already advanced one level. This cultivation speed was indeed very fast. The Imperial Lord looked at Qin Chen. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°17th brother, are you really not willing to stay? You should know that as long as you¡¯re willing to stay, you have the final say in the entire Great Qin Dynasty. Even my position as the Imperial Lord can be given to you.¡± Qin Chen shook his head, ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything more, 9th brother. I¡¯m not interested in the position of the Imperial Lord. Besides, I¡¯m more interested in being a handyman in the Taiyi Holy Land than inheriting the position.¡± In response, the Imperial Lord smiled helplessly. His 17th brother was extremely outstanding in all aspects. He was younger than him and had a higher cultivation realm than him. However, he had always been indifferent and did not yearn for power. The Imperial Lord was helpless about this and could only let his 17th brother leave. ¡°Go ahead then. When I¡¯m free, I¡¯ll go to the Taiyi Holy Land to look for you. Or when you¡¯re free, you can come to the Qin Capital to look for me,¡± In the end, the Imperial Lord could only say this. He was both angry and helpless at his 17tth brother. Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to leave, an official suddenly came in a hurry to seek an audience. ¡°Greetings to Your Majesty, the Minister, and Country Protector Venerable!¡± The official immediately bowed. ¡°Rise, what is the matter for you to be in such a hurry?¡± The Imperial Lord couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. For him to have been disturbed while bidding farewell to his 17th brother made him displeased. Seeing that the Imperial Lord was displeased, the official quickly said, ¡°Your Majesty, a riot has occurred in Mu Province¡¯s Death Valley again, causing the surrounding ten thousand miles of land to be plunged into misery and suffering. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have disappeared, and even several Grandmasters in Mu Province have been killed. The 27th Prince went to suppress the riot, but he never returned.¡± ¡°The Death Valley again!¡± The Imperial Lord¡¯s eyes glinted. Chapter 62 - Death Valley The Imperial Lord took the memorial from the official, and the more he read it, the more furious he became. The might of a king surged out of his body, ¡°How dare they? The Death Valley is getting more and more presumptuous. They don¡¯t respect the Great Qin Dynasty at all. Aren¡¯t they afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty will use our extreme emperor weapons to raze the place to the ground? ¡± The Great Qin Dynasty was an immortal divine dynasty left behind by Qin Shihuang. It had the inheritance of an Emperor of the ages, so it naturally had Qin Shihuang¡¯s extreme emperor weapon. This was also one of the reasons why the immortal divine dynasties were able to dominate the world and rule endless territories. Beside him, Qin Chen looked at the Imperial Lord with a puzzled expression, ¡°Your Majesty, what is the Death Valley?¡± In front of outsiders, Qin Chen naturally addressed the Imperial Lord as ¡°Your Majesty¡±, not wanting to reveal his true identity. ¡°The Death Valley is a forbidden area located at the edge of Mu Province, one of the 36 provinces of the Great Qin Dynasty. Since ancient times, many cultivators have accidentally entered there and never returned. Fortunately, Death Valley has always been peaceful. Thus, the Great Qin Dynasty did not actively seek out danger even though we knew that Death Valley was not as simple as it seemed. Hence, we only sent troops to guard the vicinity and set it up as a forbidden area. No one is allowed to approach it.¡± The Imperial Lord said slowly and then frowned, ¡°However, not long ago, there were rare signs of a riot in Death Valley. Many death bats that belonged to Death Valley came out and harmed the people within ten thousand miles. Hundreds of thousands of people were abducted, and who knows how many more cultivators were captured. Even Wuxing realm Masters and Liuhe realm Grandmasters have suddenly disappeared. We suspect that they were abducted by Death Valley. So I sent the 27th Imperial uncle who was guarding Mu Province and ordered him to personally lead many Liuhe realm Grandmasters and Wuxing realm Masters to investigate what happened in Death Valley. But in the end, 27th Imperial uncle and the experts from the Dynasty have all disappeared as well.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen and Lord Dragon were surprised. To be able to make a Qiyao realm King disappear so suddenly, it could only mean that the mysterious Death Valley was not simple. ¡°Your Majesty, Mu province is located on the border between the Central Province and the Southern Desolate Lands. Since I¡¯m preparing to return to the Taiyi Holy Land and the place happens to be on the way, why don¡¯t you leave this matter to me?¡± Qin Chen asked. The Imperial Lord was pleasantly surprised, but he immediately shook his head and said, ¡°Minister, you have already done so much for the country. This matter is not something that can¡¯t be dealt with. Shortly, I will personally lead the Dynasty¡¯s army and raze Death Valley to the ground. There¡¯s no need to trouble you.¡± In truth, he was concerned about Qin Chen. Because of the matter of ascension, Imperial Lord Qin Feng felt that he owed his 17th brother too much and was unwilling to trouble his 17th brother with everything. ¡°Your Majesty, you¡¯re being too serious. It¡¯s most appropriate for me to handle this matter. Since even a King has not returned after a trip there, it is apparent that Death Valley is not simple. Moreover, I happen to be returning to the Taiyi Holy Land, I can just do it in passing,¡± Qin Chen waved his hand. He naturally knew what his 9th brother was thinking, so he took the initiative to take on the responsibility. In the past, when he was young, his cultivation had been average. He felt that the Sixiang, Wuxing, and even Liuhe realms had been weak, so he had held on to the principle of staying alive and refrained from going out. Now that he was a great Venerable on level 9, he was considered invincible in this world, at least on the surface. He had the strength to protect himself, so he could just help his 9th brother get rid of the trouble in Death Valley on the way back to Taiyi Holy Land. Moreover, he might be able to check in at other places on the way! In just a few decades, just the Taiyi Holy Land alone had allowed Qin Chen to obtain countless treasures, including much emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. The Canglan Continent was huge. Many ancient great emperors had been born since ancient times, and even supreme heavenly emperors. If he went to check in at the various Emperor relics, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Jiutian Sage realm in advance. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Minister,¡± The Imperial Lord said gratefully to Qin Chen. He had just assumed the position and there were still many matters within the Great Qin Dynasty that he had to deal with. He could not leave easily. The fact that Qin Chen was willing to take on the responsibility greatly reduced the pressure on him. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The Black Flood Dragon King transformed into a huge flood dragon that was several thousand feet long. It rode the clouds and mist as it soared into the sky. Qin Chen and the others stood on the back of the Black Flood Dragon King. In an instant, under the gaze of countless, they shot through the sky like lightning and disappeared without a trace. ¡­ Mu Province. It was one of the 36 provinces of the Great Qin Dynasty, located on the border between the Central Province and the southern desolate lands. Even though it was only one of the 36 provinces, it was still extremely vast. Compared to the other provinces, the Mu province was the furthest from the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s central and was close to the southern desolate lands. Hence, it was relatively desolate and had countless mountains. In the depths of the mountains, there was an area that the entire Mu Province regarded as a forbidden area. It was a terrifying valley. Since ancient times, anyone who entered this valley had never returned. As time passed, it was known as Death Valley. At this moment, at the foot of Taihua Mountain, not far from Death Valley, a group of merchants was walking on the mountain path with savage beasts pulling the heavy treasures. Looking at the gradually thickening fog before them, a burly man in the Sancai realm at the front frowned and said, ¡°Damn it, the fog is getting thicker. It¡¯s getting more and more inconvenient to pass through Taihua Mountain.¡± At the side, there was a pretty young girl wearing a veil that only vaguely revealed her pretty face. Anyone could see that she was born with a delicate and alluring appearance, as beautiful as a lotus flower out of the water. She frowned slightly and said to the burly man, ¡°Captain Yang, the fog in Taihua Mountain is getting thicker, which will affect the caravans¡¯ progress. Can¡¯t we go through the mountain from other directions? Death Valley has been very dangerous recently.¡± Naturally, for people like them who had been using the shortcut of Taihua Mountain to shorten their journey all year round, they knew about the recent riot that had occurred in Death Valley. In a radius of ten thousand miles, people¡¯s lives were in misery. They were especially panicked when they heard that not long ago, many powerful cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family had entered Death Valley to investigate the cause of the riots but never returned. The burly man, who was addressed as Captain Yang had fear on his face, but still shook his head, ¡°Miss, we are in a hurry to deliver these goods to the Snow Sect. If we delay, the Snow Sect will definitely be unhappy and may even stop doing business with us in the future. The Snow Sect is our trading company¡¯s biggest customer. We can¡¯t afford to lose them. Taihua Mountain is the only mountain path that can shorten the journey. As long as we pass through Taihua Mountain, we can shorten the journey by at least two days.¡± The young lady frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve heard that Taihua Mountain is near Death Valley. Death Valley is extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, anyone who has entered it has never returned. Recently, even the experts of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family have failed to return. I¡¯m just afraid that¡­¡± She didn¡¯t finish his sentence, but everyone could hear what she meant. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss,¡± Captain Yang said seriously, ¡°Although Death Valley is nearby, as long as we don¡¯t get too close to it, it won¡¯t be a problem if we go around it by following this road.¡± The young lady merely nodded her head. The Snow Sect was their trading company¡¯s biggest customer. If the delivery was delayed and the Snow Sect was displeased, they might stop doing business with them. This would be a huge loss for the entire trading company. However, she soon frowned and looked up at the increasingly dense fog, ¡°It¡¯s been many years since I¡¯ve seen so much fog. I hope that there won¡¯t be any problems during this detour.¡± The entire caravan was panicking. After all, the recent riot in Death Valley made them no choice but the feel flustered. At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in front of them. Of the two people in the lead, one was handsome and delicate, like a young master in the chaotic world, while the other was tall and burly, with a dignified expression. Behind them were five people, each of them looking strong, their eyes filled with an unrestrained look. The seven of them met the caravan. Chapter 63 - Asking For Directions The caravan immediately went on full alert and looked at the seven people who had suddenly appeared in front of them. After all, they were on Taihua Mountain, which was close to Death Valley. Moreover, the fog was so thick that it was impossible for them to not be worried. They couldn¡¯t help but link the seven people before them to the cause of the recent riot in Death Valley. At this time, the handsome young man revealed a harmless smile and said to the caravan, ¡°May I ask if this is Death Valley?¡± Death Valley? The expressions of everyone in the caravan changed. For people like them who traveled along the Taihua Mountain path, Death Valley was an absolute taboo that should not be mentioned, especially after what had happened recently. However, they didn¡¯t look like bad people. The young miss pointed in a direction and said, ¡°This is Mount Taihua. Death Valley is in that direction. However, I would like to advise you that Death Valley is very dangerous. Don¡¯t go, or you will never be able to return.¡± After a pause, she quietly reminded the other party, ¡°Recently, the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family¡¯s experts personally led people into Death Valley to investigate but never returned. I heard that it was even an Imperial Prince!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± The handsome young man thanked the young lady and turned around to enter the fog with the burly middle-aged man and the others. Then, he suddenly paused and laughed, ¡°It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t stay on this mountain path for too long. Do leave quickly. Places shrouded with fog aren¡¯t safe.¡± After saying that, the two figures gradually disappeared. ¡°Who are those guys?¡± The young miss asked in astonishment, ¡°To think they asked for the direction of Death Valley and even headed in that direction. Aren¡¯t they courting death? ¡± The burly man, Captain Yang, said with a serious face, ¡°Young miss, I¡¯m afraid that those people are not simple. To think they went to Death Valley. They¡¯re either courting death or fearless. However, the young man¡¯s temperament is extraordinary. His expression is calm as if he wouldn¡¯t be shocked even if the sky collapsed. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s no ordinary person. They probably aren¡¯t just asking about Death Valley but really heading there. Let¡¯s hurry up and leave. We can¡¯t afford to offend those people. What if they¡¯re from Death Valley? ¡± Upon hearing this, not only the young miss but everyone in the caravan was silent. There had always been rumors that terrifying Demon Kings were living in Death Valley and that all these years, anyone who entered Death Valley had been captured and eaten by those Demon Kings. Thinking of this, the caravan quickly continued their journey. Strangely, on the mountain road, they soon saw, to their shock, terrifying demonic beasts that looked like bats that were many times larger on both sides of the road. They had ferocious faces but were all dead. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s the death bats of Death Valley. How did they die here?¡± Captain Yang¡¯s expression changed, and he ordered the caravan to speed up. However, along the way, they saw many death bats dead on the side of the road, which was very strange. Being demonic beasts from Death Valley, no one dared to provoke the death bats, not even the experts from some sects. He didn¡¯t expect so many to be killed here. If there really was a great Demon King in Death Valley and he learned about this, it would be very troublesome. ¡­ In front of Death Valley, Qin Chen, Lord Dragon, and the others had arrived. Naturally, they did not know that their appearance had frightened the merchant group into fleeing. At this moment, they were standing in front of the legendary Death Valley that struck fear in the hearts of countless people in Mu Province. Death Valley, as its name suggested, was a valley. However, it was deathly silent and always shrouded in a thick fog. From time to time, huge death bats would fly in the sky. It was rumored that since ancient times, all the humans and demons who entered Death Valley never returned. Of course, Lord Dragon was fearless. After all, he was a Dragon Venerable with an unfathomable cultivation base. Why would he be afraid of a mere Death Valley? in his opinion, it was most likely the territory of some demonic beasts or human cultivators from the demonic sects. They simply created the reputation of Death Valley to prevent others from entering and being disturbed. ¡°So this is Death Valley?¡± Qin Chen looked at Death Valley. Not long ago, the 27th Imperial Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty led a group of Masters and Grandmasters into the valley and never returned. Now, he wanted to explore this place. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± With Qin Chen and Lord Dragon¡¯s cultivation, they could go anywhere in the world without fear, including Death Valley. During this time, Qin Chen opened his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye. With that, he could see everything in Death Valley clearly. He saw waves of aura emerging one after another, all giant death bats with blood energy. Among them, he found that the place with the densest blood energy was right in the middle of the valley. The streaks of blood energy were in the thousands. How was this still the Death Valley? It was clearly a gathering place for a sect or a race. ¡°With such strong blood energy, checking in there will definitely bring something god. If I can obtain some good items, such as a holy weapon, it would be great. Of course, if checking in there will increase my cultivation, that would be the best,¡± Qin Chen thought to himself. He suspected that the 27th Imperial Prince and the others would be if they had been captured. Soon, the group arrived at the depths of the valley and discovered a huge palace. It was built horizontally against the mountain. However, at this moment, a burly figure with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse appeared. He was three meters tall and discovered the group. Naturally, if Qin Chen and Lord Dragon were to hide, the centaur in the Sixiang realm would not be able to discover them. However, the key was that Qin Chen, Lord Dragon, and the others had just walked in as if this was their backyard. It would be strange if the other party did not discover them. ¡°This is Death Valley. How dare you barge in? It just so happens that the palace master is lacking a few human cauldrons, and you guys are perfect,¡± The centaur spoke and raised the big knife in his hand, ready to attack Qin Chen and the others. Before Qin Chen could make a move, Lord Dragon¡¯s eyes narrowed. Instantly, an invisible but supreme bloodline power was released from his body, causing the centaur to become quiet out of fear. He was extremely frightened, ¡°This is ¡­Dragon might!¡± The centaur was terrified and couldn¡¯t believe it. During the primordial era, the Dragon race was the number one race. The Immemorial Dragons had appeared generation after generation, and they were incomparably powerful and respected by all races. ¡°Don¡¯t kill him!¡± Qin Chen said. Only then did Lord Dragon stop the bloodline suppression. Under the suppression of the Dragon race¡¯s bloodline, not many demon races in the world could withstand it. ¡°Take me to your most important place,¡± Qin Chen said as he looked at the centaur. The centaur didn¡¯t dare to resist. He immediately agreed and shakily led the group into a palace. The inside was pitch black, and there was a huge throne in the center with a man sitting on it. Below the throne were thousands of people. Rather, they were all half-man, half-horse figures, and their auras were extremely powerful, far beyond the centaur who led them. The moment the two appeared, countless eyes from all over the palace immediately focused on Qin Chen and Lord Dragon. Chapter 64 - The Pegasus Race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¡°Humans!?¡± Countless gazes were filled with greed as if they were looking at delicious food. The gazes made Qin Chen frown. When Lord Dragon beside him looked at the half-human, half-horse creatures and then at the figure sitting high on the throne, he suddenly understood. He revealed a strange smile and said, ¡°Lord Qin, we seem to have accidentally entered the base camp of one of the ten thousand ancient races.¡±. ¡°The base of one of the ten thousand ancient races?¡± Qin Chen was slightly stunned, but he immediately came to his senses. These centaurs were not from the demon race, but one of the ten thousand ancient races. This seemed to be quite troublesome. It was said that many of the ten thousand ancient races had Jiutian realm Sages. He wondered if this centaur race also had a Jiutian realm Sage. If they did, it would be a little troublesome. Of course, Qin Chen was not afraid. Lord Dragon wasn¡¯t afraid either. He looked at the thirty-foot-tall centaur, and narrowed his eyes, ¡°May I ask which race is this?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Upon hearing Lord Dragon¡¯s question, the figure on the tall throne was slightly surprised, as if he didn¡¯t expect that Lord Dragon would know that they were one of the ten thousand ancient races. However, he still looked at the two mockingly and said, ¡°This is the pegasus race.¡± ¡°The pegasus race?¡± Upon hearing this, Lord Dragon¡¯s brows furrowed even deeper. He sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°The pegasus race is one of the top 100 powerful races among the ten thousand ancient races. During the primordial era, they had Jiutian realm Sages, and their overall strength was not weak. Of course, that was during the primordial age, and now we are past that era. I don¡¯t know if the Jiutian realm Sages of the pegasus race have sealed themselves to this era. If they haven¡¯t, then there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± After hearing Lord Dragon¡¯s explanation, Qin Chen turned to the suspected leader of the pegasus race and said, ¡°You must be the race that has been ruling Death Valley. I just want to know, a few days ago, a human King led a group of human cultivators into Death Valley. Where are they? ¡± ¡°Hahaha, they have, of course, been eaten by us. They¡¯re already in our stomachs. Why don¡¯t you all gather with them now?¡± An expert of the pegasus race appeared. He was a Liuhe realm Grandmaster and looked particularly strong. The eyes on his horse head stared unblinkingly at the two. A large saber appeared in his hand, and he slashed at them. The other members of the pegasus race saw this, but they didn¡¯t stop him. It was as if they didn¡¯t care about their deaths at all. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± The Ape King behind Qin Chen simply snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, the large saber exploded, and the pegasus race¡¯s Liuhe realm Grandmaster was immediately crushed into pieces, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Seeing this, many of the pegasus in the hall gasped. To think the burly man could kill a Liuhe realm Grandmaster in a casual strike, he was clearly no ordinary figure. ¡°The Qiyao realm?¡± The pegasus race expert sitting on the central throne squinted, but he was unable to determine the Ape King¡¯s exact cultivation level. He only knew that the other party was definitely very powerful and not an ordinary Qiyao realm expert. Otherwise, the other party couldn¡¯t possibly have killed a Liuhe realm Grandmaster with a casual strike. Immediately after, his gaze swept towards the 18 seats closest to him. The people sitting on these 18 seats were all outstanding figures of the pegasus race, and their cultivation had all reached the Qiyao realm. ¡°Attack!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Three figures came forward from the 18 seats. They all exuded the aura of a Qiyao realm King, which was quite pressuring. Lord Dragon swept his gaze over indifferently and said, ¡°It¡¯s just three level one and level 2 trash of the Qiyao realm, yet you dare to come forward? Get lost!¡± The ¡°get lost¡± contained the might of the dragon race, causing the expressions of the three Qiyao realm pegasus race members to change drastically. Their tall figures staggered back, and they spat out a mouthful of blood in shock. The entire hall was in an uproar. Anyone could see that this burly middle-aged man was extraordinary. ¡°Level 8? Level 9?¡± The pegasus sitting on the throne frowned. He felt that Lord Dragon¡¯s cultivation was even higher than he had imagined. It was very likely that the other party was at the peak of the Qiyao realm. With such cultivation, he could definitely be considered one of the best among the pegasus race members who had awakened. At this moment, three more figures appeared, two of them in level 8 and one in level 9 of the Qiyao realm. They looked at Lord Dragon coldly and said, ¡°The peak of the Qiyao realm? Your strength is indeed not bad, but even so, you¡¯re still seeking death by coming to our pegasus palace!¡± The three powerful pegasus race members at the peak of the Qiyao realm charged toward Lord Dragon, aiming at his critical points all at once. Boom! Boom! Boom! Except, in the next moment, Lord Dragon¡¯s attacks arrived first even though he moved later, and three palm strikes landed on the enemies¡¯ bodies like lightning. It was as if many divine mountains had crashed into their bodies. The three peak Qiyao realm pegasus Kings felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and their bodies flew backward. All of them spat out large mouthfuls of blood, along with some internal organs. Lord Dragon looked at the tall figure on the throne and said coldly, ¡°Just these Qiyao realm fellows are not my match. I see that you¡¯re not bad, so why don¡¯t you take action personally? ¡± Boom! Boom! As he spoke, Lord Dragon had already made his move. As he raised his hand, the majestic aura of the Bahuang realm spread out, causing the expressions of the pegasus race in the main hall to change, ¡°The Bahuang realm!¡± ¡°To think a Bahuang realm Venerable has come! Oh no, we¡¯re in trouble!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The palace master will definitely be able to suppress the opponent!¡± Some people in the hall were worried while others sneered because the palace master was still around. After all, the palace master was a truly unfathomable powerhouse of the pegasus race. ¡°Impudent!¡± The pegasus race¡¯s palace master snorted coldly. He was still seated on his throne, not moving at all. However, he stretched out a large hand and collided with Lord Dragon¡¯s large hand. Instantly, the void split open, causing a terrifying spatial collapse. The towering palace shook as if it would collapse at any moment. It was clear that the palace master of the pegasus race was also a Bahuang realm Venerable. The fight between the two Venerables was terrifying and the space disappeared very quickly. Lord Dragon didn¡¯t move. He looked at the palace master of the pegasus race with some surprise. The other party was indeed quite strong to withstand a blow from him, even if it was just a casual blow. The palace master of the pegasus race was also very surprised. He frowned and attacked again, using a technique at the Bahuang realm. His large hand contained a terrifying path law and displayed a terrifying supernormal knowledge. It turned into a long spear condensed from the great path law and stabbed toward Lord Dragon. Densely packed dragon scales appeared on Lord Dragon¡¯s palm. He was fearless as he took the attack. Clanging sounds rang out, and sparks appeared. The spear was blocked and did not work. Chapter 65 - Kill On the Spot Then, Lord Dragon grabbed with his dragon claw, and the spear condensed from the great path law exploded, turning into countless law runes. The dragon claw¡¯s momentum didn¡¯t decrease as it ruthlessly slapped toward the palace master of the pegasus race on the throne. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± The palace master of the pegasus race was furious. A shocking aura bloomed from his body. He was no ordinary Venerable, but an extremely powerful one in level 4 of the Bahuang realm. At this moment, he let out a roar and used a powerful Venerable supernormal knowledge to ruthlessly hit Lord Dragon¡¯s claw. ¡°Level 4 of the Bahuang realm?¡± Lord Dragon sneered and also released his power. He was in level 5 of the Bahuang realm, which was one level higher than the palace master of the pegasus race. What was more shocking was that Lord Dragon was a Dragon Venerable. Boom! The void exploded, and countless cracks of various sizes appeared in the divine palace, making it seem as if it was about to collapse. Inside the hall, countless pegasus were affected, and many of them were either dead or injured. Puchi! The pegasus race¡¯s palace master, who bore the brunt of the attack, was naturally severely injured. He vomited blood as he looked at Lord Dragon in shock as if he didn¡¯t dare to imagine that the other party was even stronger than him. Suddenly, he felt the faint ancient dragon might coming from Lord Dragon, and his expression changed, ¡°You¡¯re a dragon!¡± ¡°The dragon race!¡± When they heard the palace master¡¯s shout, all the pegasus race members looked at Lord Dragon in shock. The Dragon race was supreme. Even though there were no longer any pure-blooded true dragons, they were still one of the strongest races among the ten thousand ancient races. This was because everyone knew how glorious the dragon race was in the past. They had given birth to more than one Immemorial Dragon. During the primordial era, when other ancient emperors and great emperors were born, the Immemorial Dragons of the dragon race appeared in almost every generation. They had always maintained an extremely prosperous state. If it wasn¡¯t for the sudden change that happened later, the dragon race would¡¯ve continued to be the number one race. Even though they had declined, no one dared to underestimate the dragon race. They were still one of the strongest races among the top ten of the ten thousand ancient races. Now that he felt the familiar dragon might on Lord Dragon, the pegasus race palace master was scared out of his wits. He had never imagined that he would encounter a Dragon Venerable and even declare that he wanted to kill the other party. Lord Dragon frowned and said, ¡°I am indeed of the dragon race. So do you still want to fight me?¡± From everyone¡¯s reaction, he vaguely knew that his identity as a member of the dragon race seemed to be able to intimidate these pegasus people, so he didn¡¯t hold back and simply used it. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the dragon race!¡± Many of the pegasus race members gasped and kept quiet out of fear. The palace master of the pegasus race hurried forward and cupped his fists, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lord Dragon. It is the pegasus race¡¯s fault for not welcoming you. Please take a seat! Someone had already moved a high-grade throne over for Lord Dragon. However, Lord Dragon looked at Qin Chen and then at the pegasus race. He frowned and said, ¡°Only one seat?¡± Seeing that the Dragon Venerable was displeased, other pegasus race members immediately moved another high-grade throne over for Qin Chen. Only then did Lord Dragon nod in satisfaction. He would not choose violence if he had a choice. After all, the pegasus race was one of the stronger races among the ten thousand ancient races. If the Jiutian realm Sages were alerted, he could only run for his life. Hence, he sat down and looked at them. Lord Dragon frowned and said, ¡°Why did the pegasus race appear in this world so early?¡± According to what he knew, although the ten thousand ancient races would indeed reappear, it should have been after the ten thousand paths of the world had recovered. The paths clearly hadn¡¯t completely recovered yet and were only showing some signs of recovery. There was still some time before the process would be complete. Hearing this, the pegasus race¡¯s palace master smiled bitterly, ¡°Dragon Venerable, you might not know this, but it was not our choice to reappear now. We had no choice. The seal disintegrated in advance, so we could only awaken from the seal¡¯s slumber in advance. ¡± ¡°The seal disintegrated in advance?¡± Lord Dragon and Qin Chen both frowned. Before the ten thousand ancient races sealed themselves, they had calculated the corresponding time. They didn¡¯t seal themselves without a plan. Instead, they chose to appear after a certain time. The ancient experts of the ten thousand ancient races had all divined that the paths of the world would recover in this era, so they had all chosen this era to reappear. However, the degeneration timing of the seal had been accurate, which led to the pegasus race¡¯s early reappearance. Qin Chen looked at the palace master of the pegasus race and said, ¡°Where is the Sage of your race? Could it be that he has not awakened from their slumber yet?¡± The master palace of the pegasus race frowned and glanced at Qin Chen, but he didn¡¯t reply. He acknowledged Lord Dragon because of the latter¡¯s strength and the fact that he was a member of the dragon race, which was why he answered everything without reservation. However, in his eyes, Qin Chen was only a human cultivator. During the primordial era, the human race was weak and many races even ate humans as food. Because of their memories from the primordial era, they looked down on humans and saw them as the bottom of the food chain. The palace master simply didn¡¯t want to answer. Lord Dragon coldly stared at the pegasus race¡¯s palace master and said, ¡°You will answer whatever Lord Qin says. It¡¯s the same as me asking you questions. Do you understand? ¡± Hearing this, the pegasus race palace master looked at Lord Dragon in shock. Why was the Dragon Venerable one so respectful to this human cultivator? This shouldn¡¯t be! The human race was at the bottom while the dragon race was at the top of the pyramid. They shouldn¡¯t be so close. However, the palace master of the pegasus race still answered, ¡°The Sage of my race is still in a deep sleep. He hasn¡¯t woken up yet. The ordinary clansmen had recovered, but the most powerful Sage was still in a deep sleep. This was strange. ¡°You guys created Death Valley, right?¡± Qin Chen continued to ask. ¡°Yes,¡± The pegasus palace master nodded, ¡°All this while, the pegasus race has not been completely dormant. Some would awaken and reproduce in the outside world. Humans tended to trespass into our territory, so they all become food for our race.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression darkened. Death Valley had existed for a long time. For so many years, many had entered Death Valley and never returned, becoming the food of the pegasus race. It was truly hateful. However, on the other hand, he also learned that the pegasus race had never come out to hunt. Killing the humans who entered the valley was just a form of deterrence to the other humans. They didn¡¯t want humans to disturb their peaceful lives. Of course, now that the pegasus race members had reappeared one after another, their quiet life was destined to cease to exist. They would completely reappear in the world sooner or later. Qin Chen¡¯s heart sank. Now that even the pegasus race had appeared, did it mean that the other races of the ten thousand ancient races would also appear earlier than scheduled? This was not a good sign. Many of the ten thousand ancient races were hostile to the human race. Some even hunted humans for food during the primordial era. ¡°I¡¯ve mentioned it before. A few days ago, a group of human cultivators entered Death Valley. Where are they?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°Your Excellency, they have only been imprisoned,¡± The palace master of the pegasus race said. He immediately ordered for the group of human cultivators to be brought out. They were the 27th Prince and the other powerful cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty. They were all shackled and their cultivation was sealed, but they were fine. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body was covered in a layer of clear light. His true appearance could not be seen clearly, making him appear mysterious and unfathomable. Although the experts of the pegasus race didn¡¯t know why Qin Chen was doing this, they didn¡¯t dare to ask. ¡°Minister, Country Protector!¡± The moment the 27th Imperial Prince saw Qin Chen and Lord Dragon, he was overjoyed. He immediately stepped forward and prepared to bow, but the shackles on his body were heavy and had sealed his cultivation. Without waiting for the pegasus race to take action, Qin Chen flicked his sleeve, and the shackles on the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s experts shattered one after another. The seals on their cultivations were also released, which made the pegasus race¡¯s palace master secretly shocked. Such a cultivation level was truly terrifying. If that was the case, the human¡¯s cultivation base must be on par with the Dragon Venerable for him to be so respected. ¡°Thank you, Minister!¡± The 27th Imperial Prince and the others immediately said respectfully. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Qin Chen looked at the palace master of the pegasus race and said, ¡°also, the pegasus race should have captured quite a few civilians this time. Bring them all out.¡± Hearing this, the pegasus race¡¯s palace master frowned, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just these people, but those commoners are just ordinary humans. They can¡¯t even be considered cultivators. There¡¯s no need to be so persistent.¡± It was obvious that the commoners did not have a good ending. ¡°Even if they¡¯re not cultivators, they¡¯re still humans,¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression darkened. One of the pegasus race¡¯s Kings said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but those humans have already been eaten.¡± Now that the pegasus race had begun to recover and many of their clansmen had awakened, they needed enough food. Naturally, the human race that was everywhere was their best choice. Boom! Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned cold. He raised his hand and blew up the pegasus race¡¯s King, killing him. Chapter 66 - One Man Suppressing an Entire Clan ¡°Human!¡± The palace master of the pegasus race stood up with a furious expression. Below, many experts of the pegasus race also stood up and glared at Qin Chen. ¡°Do you really think that the humans are pigs or sheep that you can slaughter at will?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression was cold. He stood up, and a monstrous aura rippled from his body. It was like a mountain pressing down on the heads of the experts of the pegasus race, making it difficult for them to breathe. They looked at Qin Chen in shock, as if they had just recognized his existence for the first time. ¡°This pressure¡­¡± The palace master of the pegasus race looked at Qin Chen with some shock, ¡°So strong!¡± He was too strong! He wasn¡¯t an ordinary cultivator in the Bahuang realm. Instead, he was probably a great Venerable in level eight or nine! How was that possible? ¡°It¡¯s time to exterminate the pegasus race!¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°Do you really think that the human race has no talents? ¡± Whoosh! A ray of light enveloped all the humans and demons like Lord Dragon in the hall. In an instant, they were all teleported out of the palace. At the same time, Qin Chen, who was standing in the sky, pointed forward. Without saying a word, he used the Venerable-level supernormal knowledge, the World-destroying Hand! In an instant, the dome of the towering palace exploded. In the sky, a huge palm that covered the sky came crashing down, bringing with it an unparalleled destructive aura as it slammed heavily toward the experts of the pegasus race in the palace. ¡°No!¡± The pegasus race¡¯s palace master was fearful and shocked. He could feel a terrifying destructive power in the depths of his heart from the hand that covered the sky. He had a feeling that everything would be completely annihilated if it landed. He let out a roar and immediately exploded with the terrifying might of a Venerable. He was already a powerful Venerable in level 4 of the Bahuang realm. He waved his huge long-handled saber and mobilized his surging divine power to slash at the giant hand in the sky. A peerless saber-light that was several thousand feet long slashed out in the air as if it wanted to split the entire sky in half. It ruthlessly collided with the big hand that covered the sky, vowing to block it. At the same time, inside the palace, thousands of experts of the pegasus race made their move. There were more than a dozen Kings, Liuhe realm Grandmasters, Wuxing realm Masters, and more. They launched fierce attacks one after another. Together with the peerless blade light of the pegasus race¡¯s palace master, their combined attack went against the sky and swept through everything, blocking the terrifying giant hand that covered the sky. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Thousands of terrifying attacks, led by the blade light that was tens of thousands of feet long, collided with the huge palm print. Boom! The radiating sword light of the pegasus race¡¯s palace master was the first to collide with the hand. It emitted a dazzling light and a rolling power of destruction blocked the hand. Although it soon dispersed, a lot of the palm¡¯s power had been offset. Immediately, the attacks of the many experts from the pegasus race also arrived like raindrops. Although each of the attacks was far inferior to the palace master¡¯s slash, the thousands of attacks stacked together still managed to offset more than half of the giant hand¡¯s falling momentum. With that, the World-destroying hand, which should have been condensed, appeared a little illusory. However, the World-destroying Hand still fell, containing a destructive power that was enough to wipe out all the experts of the pegasus race in the palace. At this time, the pegasus race palace master roared and attacked again. He made a prompt decision and burned his blood essence. In an instant, his body expanded, and his muscles bulged. His body was twice as big as before, and his aura rose to level 8 of the Bahuang realm. In this state, the palace master of the pegasus race was unprecedentedly powerful. However, he was burning his blood essence at every moment to maintain this absolute state of power. ¡°Reverse Nine Slashes!¡± The palace master of the pegasus race slashed at the sky nine times in a row. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Each strike was no less powerful than the previous ones. Sharp blade lights that were thousands of feet long appeared between heaven and earth. The further they went, the fiercer and more terrifying the attacks became. The blade lights were so huge that they had already reached 10000 feet long. The entire void in the sky was shattered by the blade light. ¡°Reverse Nine Slashes is a Sage-level supernormal knowledge of the pegasus race!¡± When Lord Dragon saw the pegasus race¡¯s palace master execute this move, he immediately understood what supernormal knowledge it was. It was a top-tier supernormal knowledge that had reached the Sage level. The World-destroying Hand landed heavily and shattered the first blade light. However, the giant handprint had also dimmed a little. Immediately after, it met the second blade light, the third blade light ¡­ One after another, peerless blade lights went against the sky and slashed at the World-destroying Hand. Boom! When the ninth 30000-meter-long blade light rose and collided with the hand, the World-destroying Hand was finally shattered. The palace master of the pegasus race threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, almost dying from exhaustion. Just now, he had paid a huge price just to offset the World-destroying Hand. He had burned his lifespan to forcibly increase his strength and slashed nine times with all his might to barely manage. From this, it could be seen how terrifying Qin Chen was. He, the palace Master of the pegasus race, had to pay a huge price to resolve the other party¡¯s casual attack. ¡°You¡¯re quite capable to be able to use a Sage-level supernormal knowledge to break my World-destroying Hand. But what if it¡¯s this move?¡± Boom! When the nine peerless sword lights shattered the World-destroying Hand and both attacks exploded, turning back into the essence energy of the great path that filled the world, the palace master of the pegasus race heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he thought that this was the end, the essence energy of the great path that filled the sky suddenly exploded, and a huge hole appeared in the center. From this hole, a huge finger that could be said to be a sky-supporting pillar fell. It contained infinite power that was far beyond what it was before, and it carried the aura of destruction. It was as if it wanted to completely destroy the heavens. In a radius of ten thousand kilometers, the endless Laws of Heaven and Earth madly gathered and poured into the giant finger, making the power of the giant finger even more terrifying. Emperor-level supernormal knowledge, Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger! Qin Chen looked at the experts of the pegasus race coldly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to resist this time!¡± ¡°This is an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge!¡± ¡°Oh no, we¡¯re finished!¡± Many experts of the pegasus race revealed looks of despair. This time, they were finished. The power of an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge executed by a top Venerable was beyond imagination. ¡°No!!¡± The palace master of the pegasus race let out a long cry. He was filled with despair, and he could only unleash his most powerful saber strike. The Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was surrounded by a terrifying aura that could annihilate the heavens, so it easily shattered the sword light. It brought with it an unparalleled heaven-shaking power as if the entire sky was pressing down. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, explosions erupted from all directions in the Death Valley. Seven figures appeared at lightning speed. They were all Venerables in the Bahuang realm, and they all belonged to the pegasus race. ¡°Seven, no, eight Venerables!¡± The cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Demon Valley were all shocked. Bahuang realm Venerables were among the most powerful figures in the world. However, even if the Great Qin Dynasty did not show its foundation, only two of its Imperial elders were Venerables. To think the pegasus race had eight of them! What a terrifying lineup. Chapter 67 - The So Although Lord Dragon¡¯s expression changed slightly, he was not surprised as he explained, ¡°The pegasus race was one of the top hundred races of the ten thousand races during the primordial era. Moreover, during the primordial era, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were much denser and closer, far surpassing that of the present world. These are all Venerable figures that were sealed during the primordial era. Eight of them are not considered a lot.¡± In primordial times, the ten thousand ancient races ruled the world, and the human race had nothing to do with it. Basically, every powerful race back then had no lack of Jiutian realm Sages, and there were many top figures in the Bahuang and Qiyao realms who were respectively respected as Venerables and Kings. The current eight Bahuang-realm Venerables of the pegasus race were all powerful cultivators who had been sealed during the primordial era. As they were unsealed and awakened, eight Venerables appeared all at once. The eight Venerables of the pegasus race appeared under the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger and each of them exuded a boundless aura that soared into the sky. They raised their heads to look at the massive finger that was descending, and their faces revealed serious expressions. ¡°Reverse Nine Slashes!¡± ¡°Sky-burning Palm Print!¡± ¡°Great Derivative Divine Weapon!¡± ¡­ With a series of shouts, the eight Venerables of the pegasus race each unleashed a Sage-level supernormal knowledge. For example, the palace master¡¯s blade light, as well as the palm prints, divine weapons, or black holes of the other Venerables. There were a total of eight Sage-level super-knowledges, and they were all cultivated to the master stage, unleashing extremely great power. They instantly stirred up the Laws of Heaven and Earth in this area, colliding fiercely with the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger that was descending from the sky. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sky and the earth collapsed. The sky within a radius of hundreds of miles above Death Valley completely collapsed. After being blocked by a series of Sage-grade supernormal knowledge, the emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, finally shattered and disappeared. The eight Venerables of the pegasus race heaved a sigh of relief, but they still had lingering fear in their hearts. A total of eight Venerables had come together and unleashed Sage-level supernormal knowledge before they could block that finger. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the other party was. ¡°This is the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, an Emperor-grade secret knowledge created by the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor at the end of the primordial age. Could this fella be a descendant of the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor? Is he from the imperial clan?¡± A Venerable of the pegasus race looked at Qin Chen with a serious expression. He looked older than the palace master of the pegasus race, but his aura was much more terrifying. He was a true Venerable Venerable in level 8, only a step away from becoming a great Venerable in level 9. However, at this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear. He only felt that the human Venerable was unfathomable. He was already a top Venerable in level 8. For him to still find the other party unfathomable, it was most likely that this human Venerable was in level 9. Moreover, it was very likely that he was an Imperial Venerable who mastered emperor-level supernormal knowledge. If that were the case, it would be troublesome. ¡°Interesting. Eight Venerables that have all have mastered Sage-level supernormal knowledge in the master stage,¡± Qin Chen looked at the eight Venerables. They were not ordinary Venerables. Furthermore, the pegasus race¡¯s innate blood energy was stronger than ordinary humans. His Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger was only at the intermediate stage, which was why it was nullified. If he cultivated the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger to the master stage, even if the eight great Venerables used Sage-level supernormal knowledge, it would still be very difficult to block his attack. However, it was very difficult to cultivate an emperor-level supernormal knowledge to the third stage, the master stage, even if he was a great Venerable. Emperor-level supernormal knowledge was uniquely created by the ancient emperors, containing the wisdom of the ancient emperors. Even with Qin Chen¡¯s talent and intelligence, plus the fact that he had not cultivated for long and was less than a hundred years old, he simply could not cultivate all of the many emperor-level supernormal knowledge to the master stage. On the other hand, these Venerables of the pegasus race had cultivated for thousands of years. Though it was very unlikely that they could master an emperor-level supernormal knowledge, it would be impressive if they could master one or two Sage-level supernormal knowledge. As such, it was natural for them to get their supernormal knowledge to the master stage after spending thousands of years. ¡°However, what about this move?¡± Rays of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi that were like the Immemorial Dragons appeared around Qin Chen¡¯s body. Emperor-grade, Heaven-destroying Imperial Dragon, the master stage! ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± ¡­ A total of 108 streaks of Emperor Shi dragon qi appeared. Although each was only a few feet long, its offensive power was shocking. Each contained more than ten traces of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. ¡°It¡¯s Heavens Destroying Imperial Dragon!¡± In the distance, the 27th Imperial Prince recognized Qin Chen¡¯s attack method and could not help but be shocked. The Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge recorded in the Book of Shihuang. Even among the core members of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family, only a handful could cultivate it. Even though the Minister was a powerful figure in the Great Qin Dynasty, he should not have been able to obtain the cultivation technique of Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. ¡°Another emperor-level supernormal knowledge?!¡± ¡°And it¡¯s not an emperor-level supernormal knowledge of the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor. Isn¡¯t this fella a member of the great desolate imperial race? ¡± The expressions of the eight Venerables of the pegasus race changed slightly, and they immediately attacked. The palace master even brandished his long saber which was a Venerable-level divine weapon, slashing out rays of sharp sword light in an attempt to shatter Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. However, what made his expression change was that each streak of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi was terrifying. They were like real Immemorial Dragons and were difficult to destroy. The other Venerables of the pegasus race did the same. Their expressions were somewhat unsightly, but they did not dare to be negligent. They all made their moves and used all kinds of methods to block the attacks. For a moment, the clanging sounds were endless. Everyone was shocked. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation was indeed unfathomable. With only one emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he was able to keep all eight Venerables busy for a while. From this, it could be seen that the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon was also a group-attack supernormal knowledge. At this moment, Qin Chen moved. He glanced at the powerhouses of the pegasus race indifferently and said, ¡°Do you really think I¡¯m just for show?¡± He used the Moving Secret Technique and instantly arrived among the eight Venerables of the pegasus race. ¡°Not good!¡± The moment they saw Qin Chen appear, the eight Venerables of the pegasus race were all shocked. However, at this moment, Qin Chen had already aimed at one of them and sent a palm strike. It was a simple and unadorned attack, but it caused the expression of the Venerable in level three of the Bahuang realm to change. As he tried his best to block the ten waves of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, he also raised his palm to meet the coming attack. Vast divine power bloomed in an instant, extremely brilliant as if many Suns were exploding. It was very shocking. Boom! Qin Chen did not move, but the arm of the pegasus race Venerable exploded inch by inch. Immediately after, a power that could destroy the void passed through the shattered arm and directly hit the latter¡¯s body. Blergh! The Venerable threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then looked at Qin Chen in despair before his body exploded and he died. A Venerable of the pegasus race had been killed in the blink of an eye. There was no doubt that the scene was shocking. A Bahunag realm Venerable was an ultimate expert whose might shook the world. Even in the primordial era, such existences would be top and indispensable experts in a powerful race. Yet, such a Venerable was so vulnerable and killed by Qin Chen. Chapter 68 - Fight to the Death, Awaken the Sage ¡°Seventh elder!¡± A member of the pegasus race cried out in grief. The Venerable who had just been killed was an important figure of the pegasus race and had very high prestige in the race. However, he had been killed just like that, causing countless members of the pegasus race to feel grief and indignation. Yet, they were simply helpless and fearful. At this moment, Qin Chen had already set his eyes on the other Venerables of the pegasus race. His figure was like a shadow as he appeared in front of another Venerable. ¡°Fifth elder, be careful!¡± Some of the pegasus race¡¯s members hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late. When Qin Chen arrived, he did not even need to use his emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. With his great Venerable cultivation, he simply suppressed his opponent with his higher cultivation and crushed the other party. Heaven Shaking Hand! It was but a heaven-grade supernormal knowledge, but in Qin Chen¡¯s hands, something that was trash could be turned into something magical. Boom! The fifth elder of the pegasus race was a Venerable in level 5 of the Bahuang Realm. He was no weaker than Frost Venerable. However, he was nothing before Qin Chen who was a great Venerable. With that, the fifth elder¡¯s body was torn into pieces. Qin Chen reached out and grabbed the other party¡¯s soul from the broken body. The tall and big soul of the fifth elder looked at Qin Chen in fear, begging the latter not to kill him. Boom! Qin Chen¡¯s expression was indifferent. He clenched his fist, and the fifth elder¡¯s soul exploded, annihilated. ¡­ Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As time passed, Qin Chen continued to move around, killing the Venerables of the pegasus race one after another. Basically, not a single Venerable could last more than three rounds against him. His cultivation of being a level nine great Venerable combined with the unparalleled Chaotic Holy Body was too powerful, it was simply a crushing defeat to the other party! Boom! Blood light rippled! This was the fifth Venerable of the pegasus race that was killed by Qin Chen, leaving only the three strongest Venerables, that were the palace master, the first elder, and the second elder. They were still alive, but they were all entangled by the 108 streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi and could not do anything. Seeing that five Venerable elders were killed by Qin Chen casually, the remaining three Venerables of the pegasus race were shocked, angry, and sorrowful, but they could do nothing. This was because this human great Venerable was simply too powerful. Even themselves, strong Venerables, were unable to withstand a single blow from him. Puchi! Under the attack of the 108 streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi for a long time, the three Venerables of the pegasus race were covered in blood. They would spit out blood from time to time and were extremely angry. ¡°Human, even if you¡¯re from the imperial clan, since you¡¯ve caused a great disaster, the pegasus race will never forgive you!¡± The second elder of the pegasus race howled in grief. His entire body was on fire as he charged toward Qin Chen, wanting to take him down with him. ¡°Be careful, Lord Qin!¡± ¡°Minister!¡± The Dragon Lord, the demon kings of Demon Valley, and the 27th Imperial Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty were all shocked as they hurriedly shouted at Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen did not have the time to retreat. The second elder, who had decided to fight to the death, was too fast. The terrifying speed brought by burning his body and divine soul did not give Qin Chen time to react, and the former had already arrived beside him. Boom! Immediately after, the second elder of the pegasus race self-destructed with a deafening explosion. How powerful was the self-destruction of a level 7 Venerable? Everything within a hundred miles of him was engulfed in an aura of absolute destruction. A terrifying destructive flame spread with lightning speed, covering a radius of several hundred miles. The monstrous explosion sounded for several tens of thousands of miles, alarming countless people. The grand elder and palace master of the pegasus race had led the members in the palace to retreat at the first moment, and they watched this scene with grief. Once upon a time, the pegasus race was one of the top 100 powerful races in the primordial era when the world was ruled by thousands of races. But now, they were forced to such an extent by a great Venerable of the human race, losing five Venerables in a row. Even the second elder had to self-destruct to hold back the great Venerable and reverse the situation. The second elder was completely dead! After an unknown amount of time, the destructive flames slowly dissipated, and the collapsed void also repaired itself, gradually revealing the center of the explosion. A charred black figure shot up into the sky and stood tall in the void. Clang! Clang! Clang! As the blinding light bloomed, the charred skin on the figure¡¯s body was torn apart and fell off, revealing a familiar figure. It was Qin Chen. He was safe and sound. He was wearing a Sage robe that was making clanking sounds while emitting an immortal aura of the Sage path. It was this Sage robe that had blocked all the damage from the second elder¡¯s self-destruction, allowing Qin Chen to escape. ¡°Cough,¡± Qin Chen coughed out a bit of blood. The power of a level 7 top Venerable¡¯s self-destruction was too strong. It was no less than a full-force attack from a Jiutian realm Sage. Even with the Sage robe and the Chaotic Holy Body, he couldn¡¯t completely block the attack and was still injured. Ultimately, the Sage robe had not been restored in time, and could only offset more than half of the power. However, since he had the Resurrection Spell, this was not a big problem for him. He activated the secret technique in his body and his injuries were immediately healed. He was safe and sound. ¡°It¡¯s a holy weapon!¡± When they saw the Sage robe, everyone sucked in a cold breath. A holy weapon would provide an absolute defense that even a Venerable couldn¡¯t break through. It was a peerless ancient weapon that Jiutian realm Sages would have spent their entire lives refining. No one had expected Qin Chen to have a holy weapon, more specifically a Sage robe, to protect himself. ¡°It¡¯s over. Even the second elder¡¯s self-destruction couldn¡¯t drag the enemy to his death!¡± The experts of the pegasus race were all in despair. What kind of freak was this? ¡°To think you¡¯re willing to let a top Venerable self-destruct just to drag me along to die¡­¡± Qin Chen looked at the palace master and grand elder with the same killing intent. If he didn¡¯t have the Sage robe, even with his great Venerable cultivation and Chaotic Holy Body, he would still be heavily injured to the point of vomiting blood from the self-destruction of a top Venerable. With killing intent in his eyes, Qin Chen said coldly, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll just finish off your pegasus race today.¡± At this stage, the two sides could be said to be in a life-and-death situation where one of them was bound to fall. It was an irreconcilable blood feud. Since that was the case, it would be better to just annihilate the pegasus race to prevent any future disasters. The expression of the pegasus race¡¯s palace master changed, and he was about to strike first when the grand elder stopped him. A determined look appeared on the latter¡¯s aged face, and he said, ¡°Palace master, you¡¯re still young. Leave this place to this old man. Moreover, so what if he¡¯s a great Venerable? So what if he has a Sage robe? He¡¯s not a true Jiutian realm Sage. The pegasus race is one of the top 100 strongest races in ancient times. We have a Jiutian realm Sage that has lived to this era.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the pegasus race¡¯s grand elder began to recite a scripture that sounded mystical. As he began to do so, an astonishing change appeared between Heaven and Earth without a sound. An unprecedented and terrifying power gradually appeared in the world, causing the world to tremble. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned serious, ¡°Not good! Is this old man planning to call out the Jiutian realm Sage who has been sealed?¡± Chapter 69 - The Ancient Sage Appears Boom! Qin Chen struck first and used the Moving Secret Technique, which was the fastest movement technique in the world. With that, his speed was hastened to the extreme and he arrived in front of the grand elder like lightning, using an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge to kill the grand elder. He had a feeling that if he didn¡¯t stop the grand elder, the latter would awaken all the Jiutian realm Sages that had been sealed in the pegasus race. Although Qin Chen was quite curious himself if he had the ability to kill a Sage, with his cautious personality, he didn¡¯t want to face a Jiutian realm Sage so soon unless it was necessary. What if he wasn¡¯t a match for the other party? He¡¯d better deal with the other party after he reached the Jiutian realm. Boom! The grand elder of the pegasus race was sent flying as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His sturdy half-man and half-horse body was crumbling inch by inch. He couldn¡¯t withstand Qin Chen¡¯s emperor-grade attack and was about to die. However, he was still smiling and even sneered with a bit of contempt, ¡°Great Venerable of the human race, you won¡¯t make it in time. The ancient Sage of my race is about to appear. You¡¯re dead for sure.¡± As his voice fell, the grand elder shattered, his body and soul destroyed. At the same time, before the pegasus race¡¯s members had time to grieve, a terrifying pillar of light suddenly shot up into the sky from the main hall. It was like a giant pillar that held up the sky, standing between Heaven and Earth. In the light pillar, the boundless aura that could suppress the heavens was looming and spreading in all directions. All the cultivators present were stunned and looked at the light pillar in awe. Even Qin Chen, who was at the peak of the Bahuang realm and had the Chaotic Holy Body, the best physique in the world, felt some pressure at this moment. The pressure came from the pillar of light that reached the sky, from the ancient Sage of the pegasus race! ¡°So this is the Sagely might of a Jiutian realm Sage?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression was serious. In the past six months that he had been in the Great Qin Dynasty, he had naturally read through the many books contained in the immortal divine dynasty, which introduced the many different realms. Among them was an introduction to the Jiutian realm, which was more detailed than what was recorded in Taiyi Holy Land. After all, the Great Qin Dynasty was founded by Qin Shihuang, who was suspected to be a Heavenly Emperor. Since ancient times, it had produced many Jiutian Sages, and even the Sages of the way of Confucius had been killed. The Taiyi Holy Land was far inferior. Therefore, Qin Chen had a very clear understanding of the Jiutian realm. The Jiutian realm was known as the Sage realm! It was also a huge threshold. Once one stepped into the Jiutian realm, it represented true transcendence. That¡¯s right. Even the Bahuang realm was only a mortal realm in front of the Jiutian realm. Those in the Qiyao and Bahuang realms seemed to be crowned as Kings and Venerables, but this was only possible during the Dharma-ending Age now. When the world recovered, cultivators in those realms would be far from being crowned as Kings and Venerables in the cultivation world. Even great Venerables were still in the Bahuang realm. In front of a Jiutian realm Sage, they were only mortals. The only difference was that the Venerables were the most powerful mortals. The word ¡°tian¡± (sky) in ¡°Jiutian¡± represented everything. In comparison to this realm, the difference between it and the Bahuang realm was like the difference between Heaven and Earth. After the primordial age, the world changed. Although there were few Bahuang realm Venerables, they would be born in every era. Even in the most difficult era, the Dharma-ending Age, this held true. However, Jiutian realm Sages were almost extinct after the primordial age. They couldn¡¯t even be born in some eras, which made their rarity and strength evident. Now, a peerless Sage in the Jiutian realm was about to be born in the pegasus race. Just the Sagely might he emitted was enough to make an unparalleled great Venerable like Qin Chen feel traces of pressure. ¡°A Jiutian realm Sage, huh?¡± However, Qin Chen was not afraid. On the contrary, his fighting spirit rose. He was a great Venerable with the Chaotic Holy Body, which was the number one body in the world that gave him the heaven-defying combat power to fight across realms. He had also mastered many kinds of emperor-level supernormal knowledge, even heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge. He was not afraid of facing a Jiutian realm Sage. On the contrary, he had a strong desire to fight, hoping to battle with a Jiutian realm Sage. Although he had always been steady, he still hoped to fight these ancient Sages after reaching the Jiutian realm. However, when such a Sage really came before he even reached the Jiutian realm, he was still not afraid. Qin Chen wanted to know if he could kill a Sage. A half-man, half-horse figure silently appeared in the huge pillar of light. Shortly after, the pillar of light slowly dissipated and returned to the figure. In the next moment, a boundless pressure slowly spread out across the world. Everyone¡¯s attention was on this figure! As of this moment, the centaur-like figure seemed to have become a God of Heaven and Earth. His words were like law, and everything had to submit to him. A Sage! Jiutian realm! Everyone looked at the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. All the members of the pegasus race had heated gazes as they paid their respects to the ancient Sage as if the latter were a God. ¡°Forefather!¡± The members of the pegasus race were all piously worshiping him, and so was the palace master. However, Lord Dragon and the rest had ugly expressions. That was because the ancient Sage of the pegasus race had appeared. He was a peerless Sage of the Jiutian realm, above the Bahuang realm. Even great Venerables were no match for ancient Sages. Just as they were about to ask Qin Chen to leave immediately, he laughed out loud, ¡°You¡¯re a Sage in the Jiutian realm? Good, very good. I would like to know how powerful a Jiutian realm Sage is!¡± Boom! At this moment, Qin Chen didn¡¯t even try to hide his power. A terrifying and unparalleled power exploded from his body, surging violently. Heaven and Earth shook! Heaven and Earth had originally been locked down by the ancient Sage¡¯s Sagely might. All cultivators, including those in the Bahuang realm, could only constrict their might around them to resist the suppression of the Sagely might. However, at this moment, the seal was torn apart by Qin Chen¡¯s power and knocked to the side. A great Venerable aura that belonged only to Qin Chen filled Heaven and Earth as if it wanted to be on par with the ancient Sage¡¯s Sagely might! In fact, with Qin Chen as the center, his great Venerable might had indeed forcefully blocked the Sagely might of the pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage to a distance of a thousand feet away from him. ¡°This might, how is it possible?!¡± The expressions of the experts in the pegasus race changed. They couldn¡¯t believe that the might of this human race¡¯s great Venerable was able to resist the Sagely might. It was almost as if they were equals! One had to know that that was the Sagely might of a Jiutian ancient Sage! Lord Dragon and the rest were also shocked. They looked at Qin Chen in the sky with disbelief as if this was the first time they met him. ¡°So this is Venerable Qin¡¯s strength? That¡¯s right, he has the number one Chaotic Holy Body in the world, the body of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The physique has been unparalleled in both ancient and modern times. Moreover, Lord Chen is a great Venerable, so he¡¯s probably not inferior to a Jiutian realm Sage,¡± Lord Dragon immediately understood. The Chaotic Holy Body was a heaven-defying physique, and it had the shocking ability to fight across realms. It was indeed not impossible for Qin Chen to fight against a Jiutian realm Sage as a great Venerable. Chapter 70 - Qin Chen VS Ancient Sage The ancient Sage of the pegasus race was a tall and sturdy half-human and half-horse. He was about 15 meters tall when he stood up, slightly taller than the palace master. His lower half body of a horse was muscular, while his upper half was an unusually burly and strong body. He didn¡¯t look old and seemed to be in the prime of his life. There was no doubt that this was an ancient Sage in his prime. His blood energy was at its peak. Qin Chen just wondered which know which level of the Jiutian realm he was at. ¡°This aura¡­¡± The ancient Sage of the pegasus race looked at Qin Chen with a serious expression. He did not expect the human great Venerable who had forced him to be awakened to have such power that the latter could almost rival his Sagely might. ¡°Ancient Sage of the pegasus race, it¡¯s just as well. I want to know how strong you are!¡± Qin Chen looked straight at the ancient Sage. He did not back down fearfully. Instead, he took the initiative to attack and unleashed his emperor-grade secret knowledge, the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger. With that, a ten thousand feet long finger descended from the sky, coming straight at the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed. It was extremely terrifying! The ancient Sage of the pegasus race looked up at the massive finger that was descending from the sky and his expression turned serious, ¡°So this is an emperor-level secret knowledge? It¡¯s indeed quite extraordinary, but you¡¯re dreaming if you think you can deal with me with this.¡± He raised his palm and slapped forward. It was not clear what secret knowledge he used, but a majestic holy light appeared between his fingers and palm, slapping forward towards the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger. Boom! A terrifying explosion occurred, and the void collapsed. The giant finger exploded, turning into light. Everyone sighed in admiration. Even the eight great Venerables of the pegasus race had to use all their strength to block the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, yet the Sage had destroyed it with a casual slap. With such capabilities, he was indeed worthy of being a legendary Jiutian realm ancient Sage. However, under the reflection of light, no one saw that the figure of the ancient Sage from the pegasus race trembled slightly. A trace of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, and he was not as well as he looked on the surface. ¡°As expected of an ancient Sage of the Jiutian realm. Legend has it that a single strand of hair from an ancient Sage can cut mountains and rivers, as well as kill Kings. It¡¯s amazing!¡± Qin Chen exclaimed. The ancient Sage of the pegasus race was indeed powerful to be able to withstand his emperor-grade secret knowledge. However, he was not unharmed. The Jiutian realm was extraordinary and divine, far stronger than the Bahuang realm. Generally speaking, even the great Venerables on level 9 couldn¡¯t harm these ancient Sages. Unfortunately, the Sage¡¯s opponent was a great Venerable with the Chaotic Holy Body. ¡°You¡¯re quite capable, hahaha, but what if it¡¯s this move?¡± Qin Chen laughed out loud and used the Moving Secret Technique. He appeared in front of the ancient Sage in an instant and used the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. 108 streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi attacked the ancient Sage from all sorts of mysterious trajectories. He had only cultivated the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger to the intermediate stage, but the Heaven-destroying Imperial Dragon was in the master stage. Even though they were both emperor-level secret knowledge, a difference in one stage was a huge difference in strength. ¡°You¡¯re only able to obstruct me a little with the help of your emperor-grade super knowledge, but to think you dare to approach me? You¡¯re courting death!!¡± The ancient Sage of the pegasus race snorted coldly as he raised his palm and slapped out. The Jiutian realm and the Bahuang realm were worlds apart, especially in terms of the physical body. The Jiutian Sage body had been tempered by the heavenly tribulation. Just the Sage body alone could suppress any cultivator under the Jiutian realm. Even without using his Sage power, the ancient Sage had absolute confidence that he could suppress his opponent with his Sage body. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage¡¯s physical body collided with the 108 streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, and a terrifying destructive force burst forth from the collision, tearing open a huge spatial rift. Puchi! The ancient Sage¡¯s palm trembled violently, and the tough skin on his palm split open, becoming a series of hideous wounds. Blood spurted out, revealing his Sage bones that glowed with a brilliant light. However, the streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi were also repelled. The ancient Sage¡¯s face darkened. He had not expected to be injured so severely. He changed to another palm and slapped out to crush the vacuum. ¡°As expected of an ancient Sage. Even after I used Heaven-destroying Imperial Dragon, he still wasn¡¯t seriously injured. The difference between the Bahuang and Jiutian realms is huge. If I didn¡¯t have the Chaotic Holy Body, which is the number one physique in the world, it would¡¯ve been difficult for me to cross the difference between Sages and mortals to hurt an ancient Sage like him,¡± Qin Chen was amazed as he felt the power of the Jiutian realm. However, facing the other palm of the pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage, he immediately swung his fist and used another emperor-level secret knowledge, the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist! Boom! The moment Qin Chen and the ancient Sage of the pegasus race collided, the terrifying Chaotic Holy Body shook the ancient Sage¡¯s body. The latter¡¯s palm was split open like his other palm. Although he relied on his Sage body and Sage divine power to stabilize himself and not retreat, he was still shocked, ¡°How could your body be stronger than my Sage body? ¡± Logically speaking, even if this human race great Venerable could use an emperor-grade secret knowledge to block his Sage palm and not retreat, the former¡¯s fist should still be injured. After all, the Sage body of the Jiutian realm was already extraordinary and would not decay. Yet, in the head-on clash, the other party¡¯s fist was unscathed while his palm had been wounded, which was truly unexpected. How could the Sage know about the extraordinary Chaotic Holy Body? Even if Qin Chen was only a great Venerable, his physical body was definitely stronger than that of an ordinary Sage. At the same time, the 108 streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi reappeared and attacked the pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage. It did not take long for the ancient Sage of the pegasus race, whose body had been tempered countless times through the heavenly tribulations, to be riddled with wounds. As Qin Chen¡¯s most powerful emperor-level secret knowledge, when he, the strongest great Venerable used the Heaven-destroying Imperial Dragon, it could naturally allow him to fight across realms, injuring true Sages. The ancient Sage of the pegasus race was enraged. His Sagely might surged as a huge sword appeared in his hand. It was a holy sword that hummed as it was slashed at Qin Chen. If an ancient Sage attacked with a Sage weapon, he would definitely be able to cut through everything in the world. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Desolate Divine Halberd appeared before him. With a clang, it blocked the attack of the Sage sword, causing sparks to fly. ¡°This weapon!¡± The ancient Sage of the pegasus race exclaimed in surprise. He could sense that the halberd was extraordinary, and he could vaguely feel that the weapon was somewhat familiar as if he had seen it before. Boom! Qin Chen waved the Desolate Divine Halberd. It was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon and was extremely heavy. There were 13 seals inside the weapon that sealed the power of the quasi-emperor-grade weapon and its weight. Since he became a great Venerable, nine seals on the halberd were broken, which made it much heavier than before. If the Desolate Divine Halberd was as heavy as a small mountain when Qin Chen first obtained it, then now, it was as heavy as a mountain range. Its weight had been multiplied by many times and could weigh hundreds of millions of kilograms. Even if it was simply swung down, its attack would be extremely terrifying. Wherever the Desolate Divine Halberd passed by, its terrifying weight would tear through the void and land on the body of the pegasus ancient Sage. The ancient Sage blocked the attack with his Sage Sword. Boom! The extreme weight was like a star falling from the sky, crashing into the ancient Sage. Invisible ripples spread in the sky like lightning. The figure of the ancient Sage of the pegasus race slammed into the ground like a cannonball, sending a cloud of dust into the air. Chapter 71 - Heavenly Emperor Everyone was shocked. The ancient Sage of the pegasus race was enraged as well. As a Jiutian realm ancient Sage, he had never suffered such humiliation before. To be beaten to the ground by a Bahuang realm Venerable was utter humiliation. He roared as he soared into the sky, and his Sagely might became increasingly intense. He brandished his Sage Sword and slashed through the void, casting nine terrifying sword lights. It was the Sage-level supernormal knowledge that the palace master had cast just now, Reverse Nine Slashes. Since the supernormal knowledge was executed by an ancient Sage, it was naturally far more powerful than the one cast by the pegasus race¡¯s palace master. The power that could annihilate the world was unleashed with the Sage-level supernormal knowledge being in the ultimate stage. Countless Laws of Heaven and Earth gathered and entered the sword glows. Each sword light contained the power to kill a great Venerable. Nine of them come attacking at the same time was enough to make a Jiutian realm Sage feel threatened. ¡°A Sage-level supernormal knowledge at the ultimate stage?!¡± Even Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. The moment the nine sword lights appeared, he felt a strong sense of threat. He immediately wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd and performed the quasi-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Eight Desolation Strikes¡±. ¡°Desolate Destruction!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he waved the Desolate Divine Halberd, slashing through the void and unleashing a terrifying halberd light. It was a hundred thousand feet long and contained a desolate and destructive aura as it collided with the Reverse Nine Slashes. ¡°Desolate Destruction? That¡¯s the supreme supernormal knowledge of quasi-emperor Taihuang. That weapon should be Taihuang¡¯s Desolate Divine Halberd. No wonder it felt so familiar!¡± The ancient Sage of the pegasus race immediately recognized the weapon, and his eyes started to burn with greed. It was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon and Taihuang¡¯s at that. One should know that Taihuang was a peerless quasi-emperor in the primordial age. He had the potential to become an Emperor and was extremely powerful. Although he died in battle, the quasi-emperor-grade weapon Desolate Divine Halberd that he left behind was still a peerless divine weapon. At the same time, Qin Chen wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd to cast the quasi-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge Desolate Destruction, which clashed with the ancient Sage¡¯s ultimate stage supernormal knowledge Reverse Nine Slashes. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As if meteors had collided, destructive flames spread in all directions. After a series of collisions, four rays of sword light shot up into the sky and ultimately still slashed Qin Chen¡¯s body. His figure was sent flying, but he soon stopped. The Sage robe on his body clanked as they blocked the four sword lights. With the strength of the Chaotic Holy Body, Qin Chen only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and was not seriously injured. ¡°You¡¯re still fine?¡± The ancient Sage of the pegasus race looked at Qin Chen in shock. His only thought was that this great Venerable of the human race was ridiculously strong. One had to know that his attainments in the Reverse Nine Slashes had already reached the ultimate stage. He had truly unleashed the power of the Sage-level supernormal knowledge to its peak, yet he had still been unable to seriously injure this kid. Qin Chen also looked at the ancient Sage of the pegasus race with a serious expression. He indeed had the ability to break the shackles of being a mortal and fight against the ancient Sages of the Jiutian realm, but his power was not as good. After reaching the Jiutian realm, the divine power in one¡¯s body would evolve into Sage divine power which was even more terrifying. In this aspect, Qin Chen was still inferior. However, with the Chaotic Holy Body that surpassed ordinary Sage bodies, the gap was closed. ¡°Kill!¡± With the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand, Qin Chen descended from the sky and charged toward the ancient Sage of the pegasus race once more. Furthermore, he unleashed several emperor-grade secret knowledge in succession, his might extremely shocking. Below, the Dragon Lord, the 27th Imperial Prince, and the pegasus race members all gasped as they witnessed the battle between Qin Chen and the ancient Sage. They were all shocked by how heaven-defying the former was. To think he could fight a Jiutian realm ancient Sage with his mortal body. In the past, such a scene was something that they would never have dared to imagine. But the battle was only beginning now. After the intense battle with the ancient Sage just now, Qin Chen now knew that his strength was enough to allow him to fight across realms and break the huge gap between the Jiutian realm Sages and Bahuang realm mortals. Now, it was time to kill the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. Boom! After another earth-shattering collision, Qin Chen¡¯s figure soared into the sky. The ancient Sage looked on in fear. The strength of this young man was far beyond his imagination. Suddenly, Qin Chen flipped his hand downwards and struck out a palm print. Faintly, the heavens began to tremble. It was as if this palm strike could destroy the heavens. It was extremely terrifying. ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± Qin Chen pronounced each word clearly. Immediately after, he struck out with his palm, and a power that was even more terrifying than the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger he had just used was unleashed. Between Heaven and Earth, countless laws of the great path surged from all directions, gathering in his palm. In the next moment, a terrifying palm print that covered the entire sky appeared. It was as if the hand of an ancient great emperor was pressing down, causing the ancient Sage to feel a sense of hopelessness. He exclaimed, ¡°This is the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge of Emperor Shi. How did you master it? How can you cast it? Wasn¡¯t it lost?¡± However, his voice was drowned out by the giant palm. It descended from the sky and landed on the ancient Sage of the pegasus race, as well as the nearby pegasus race members, including the palace master who was within the coverage of the giant palm. Along with a deafening sound, the mist in the vast valley that was originally occupied by Death Valley had dissipated. Instead, a terrifying giant handprint that was 10000 feet long appeared, boring 10000 feet deep into the ground. The once famous Death Valley had been razed to the ground, and the pegasus race of the ten thousand ancient races had also been annihilated. Everyone who witnessed it was shocked. Qin Chen had killed a Sage, the Jiutian realm ancient Sage of the pegasus race. If word of this got out, it was bound to cause great waves. Qin Chen retracted his hand seal and felt that the divine power in his body was running low. After using the heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, the boundless divine sea and ocean of divine power that he had opened up with his Chaotic Holy Body had also been severely depleted. As expected of a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. He had only used it once, but it had already used up half of his divine power. However, Qin Chen was very satisfied with the power of this heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. As expected, it could kill a Sage. And now, the ancient Sage of the pegasus race had thus been killed by him. Below, in the huge handprint pit, there was a head-sized divine light source that was emitting circles of Sagely aura. It was a Sage source. After reaching the Jiutian realm, one would transcend mortality and become a Sage. The divine sea in one¡¯s body would also transform into the Sage source, which was also the power source of a Jiutian realm Sage. The Sage source was extremely sturdy, even more so than Sage weapons. The Sage source before him was from the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. It had not been destroyed by the giant palm print and had been preserved. Qin Chen grabbed in the air and the Sage source that was the size of a human head appeared in his hand. He opened his mouth and swallowed it, then started to use the Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique in the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. Chapter 72 - The Great Demon Appears! The Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique was a supreme secret knowledge created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor when he was young. It allowed him to devour all energy, including Sage sources, to strengthen himself. Crackle. Instantly, the Sage source turned into waves of Sage path divine power, surging into Qin Chen¡¯s limbs and bones, strengthening his Chaotic Holy Body. Qin Chen could feel that his body had been strengthened after refining a Jiutian realm Sage source. It was even stronger than before. If he had to rely on emperor-level secret knowledge to fight the ancient Sage of the pegasus race head-on in the past, now that his Chaotic Holy Body had been strengthened by the Sage source, he could produce the same terrifying effect as before without the help of emperor-level secret knowledge. This made him exclaim with amazement. As expected of the Sage source, the essence of a Jiutian realm Sage. At the same time, Qin Chen felt that he had completely reached the peak of the Bahuang realm. There was no more room for improvement. In a few days, he should be able to break through and become a Jiutian Sage. However, he needed a certain opportunity, though it shouldn¡¯t be too far away. After making some adjustments, Qin Chen looked at the others who were dumbfounded after witnessing the scene where he killed the Sage. He said seriously, ¡°I don¡¯t want any of you to spread the news of what happened today. Do you understand? ¡± Although he had killed a Sage, he did not wish for the world to know about it, especially when Heaven and Earth were gradually recovering. Now that the pegasus race had appeared, the other powerful races of the ten thousand ancient races were also gradually appearing. There was no lack of ancient Sages in those powerful races, and they had more than one. Although the pegasus race was known as one of the top 100 races in the ten thousand ancient races, in reality, it could only be considered at the bottom of those top 100 races. It had simply declined and thus only had one ancient Sage left. If there had been one more ancient Sage, Qin Chen would not have been able to kill the pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage. As the ten thousand ancient races emerged, the ancient Sages of each race would also awaken. They might even be able to take over the human race¡¯s territory. More importantly, the ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races might have their eyes on Qin Chen. He didn¡¯t want to be targeted by them so early. Lord Dragon, the 27th Imperial Prince, and the others did not understand why Qin Chen would not let the matter of him killing an ancient Sage spread. If this news were to spread, it would definitely shock the world and even make Qin Chen¡¯s prestige reach an extreme. He was not a Sage, yet he had managed to kill an ancient Sage. This was definitely something that would shock the world. It was rumored that in the primordial years, only ancient great emperors had managed to do so when they were only great Venerables. For Qin Chen to be able to do it, there was no doubt that he had the bearing of a great emperor. However, he was unwilling to disclose his feat to the public. Why was that? ¡°Oh right. I heard that the Minister was a nobody in the Taiyi Holy Land. After the great emperor¡¯s palace appeared, the demonic venerable yang Tiancheng appeared and almost wiped out all the Lords of immortal heritage in the southern desolate lands. Only when the Taiyi Holy Land was almost destroyed did the Minister appear and turned the tide, but I¡¯ve never heard of his existence before that,¡± The 27th Imperial Prince thought to himself. He thought that the Minister was someone who only concentrated on cultivation without caring about the reputation of the world. He had always admired such a person. Only such a person could truly reach the top. The other powerful cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty also understood what was going on after hearing the words of the 27th Imperial Prince. They looked at Qin Chen with even more respect. Only someone who was so dedicated to cultivation could become a great Venerable. To think he could go fight across realms and kill a Sage of the ancient race. Qin Chen pouted at the thoughts of the people from the Great Qin Dynasty. He really wanted to say that he just wanted to hide. However, he was too lazy to explain his real thoughts. It just so happened that he didn¡¯t need to either. After the destruction of the pegasus race, what was left was only a massive palm imprint on the ground, as well as a huge sword that had been broken into several pieces. It was the Sage weapon of the pegasus race ancient Sage. Even the ancient Sage of the pegasus race had been annihilated, so the Sage weapon had naturally been shattered and scattered on the ground. Lord Dragon picked up the broken Sage weapon and said with great regret, ¡°What a waste of a Sage weapon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a broken Sage weapon,¡± Qin Chen said nonchalantly. It¡¯s¡­ just¡­ The corner of Lord Dragon¡¯s mouth twitched a few times. The others were even more at a loss for words. That was a Sage weapon! Even if it was just a broken Sage weapon, it was enough to make people burn with greed. Yet to Qin Chen, it was not even worth a glance. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Qin Chen spoke. He had come here and exterminated the entire pegasus race. However, he didn¡¯t gain anything because the entire base camp of the pegasus race had been razed to the ground by him. He had even killed all of the pegasus race members. It was a pity that the heavenly emperor-grade super knowledge was truly too terrifying. It had annihilated the entire pegasus race, and even the divine treasures of the powerful ancient race had been forcefully turned into nothingness. That being said, it wasn¡¯t too much of a pity though. After all, he had checked in for decades and had obtained too many treasures. Many immortal heritages weren¡¯t even as rich as him. Lord Dragon looked at the scattered fragments of the Sage weapon and would turn back to look every few steps. In the end, he picked them all up before finally leaving in satisfaction. Not far away, the 27th Imperial Prince was waiting for Qin Chen, Lord Dragon, and the others to leave. He also wanted to take the Sage weapon fragments away. He didn¡¯t expect that the country protector venerable, Lord Dragon, would suddenly take them all away. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do! Just as Qin Chen was about to head to another place, a message suddenly appeared in his hand like a spark of lightning. When he opened it, his expression changed slightly. The message was simple. A Sage-level Demon King had appeared! ¡°Return to the Taiyi Holy Land as fast as you can,¡± Hearing this, Lord Dragon did not dare to be careless. He knew that something must have happened to the Taiyi Holy Land. This time, he did not ask his son to turn back into the Black Flood Dragon King, instead, he personally transformed back into a giant dragon that was thousands of feet long. Qin Chen jumped onto Lord Dragon¡¯s head. As for the five Demon Kings, they hurried back themselves. Lord Dragon could allow Qin Chen to stand on his back, but he could not allow the other Demon Kings to do so. Boom! The ten-thousand-foot-long primordial dragon soared and rushed toward the Taiyi Holy Land in the southern desolate lands at an amazing speed! The Black Flood Dragon King also transformed back into a huge black flood dragon, carrying the Tiger King, Ape King, Crocodile King, and Eagle King away at lightning speed. ¡­ BOOM! On this day, the great emperor¡¯s palace in the Taiyi Holy Land, which had been sealed, suddenly exploded. A demonic shadow that was 10000 feet tall stood between Heaven and Earth, exuding a terrifying aura. The demonic power was so mighty that the entire Taiyi Holy Land trembled under it. Countless disciples were terrified. The current Holy Lord rushed up into the sky, and so did the other supreme elders. They looked at the terrifying demonic shadow in shock. The demonic mist the latter emitted covered the sun and the entire Holy Land. It was even more terrifying than before. Many elders and disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land were alarmed. ¡°Oh no, the great demon has come into being!¡± A supreme elder¡¯s expression changed. The demon was at the legendary Sage level and was extremely terrifying. How could anyone in the Taiyi Holy Land be a match for him? Chapter 73 - The Elder King Is Back! ¡°To think you dared to destroy two of my demonic thoughts back then. Now, I¡¯m going to destroy all of you!¡± The demonic shadow¡¯s roar shook Heaven and Earth, making the Taiyi Holy Land remble. Ling Ran¡¯s beautiful face was pale. Although she was now a Qiyao realm King and a Holy Lord who could be on the same level as the major factions, she was far too inferior compared to the demonic figure before her that seemed to block out the sun. However, Ling Ran was not afraid. She said softly, ¡°Activate the Holy Land¡¯s array!¡± As an immortal Holy Land, the Taiyi Holy Land had many ancient Sages. Naturally, a powerful Sage-level array had been set up around it. Boom! Boom! With that, an array that enveloped the Taiyi Holy Land rose. It was like a giant upside-down bowl as it isolated the demonic shadow from the outside world. ¡°Sacrifice the Sage weapon!¡± Ling Ran continued to give orders. In the depths of the Taiyi Holy Land, a blazing light soared into the sky and dispersed most of the endless demonic fog. It was filled with extremely terrifying Sage might. It was a Sage weapon. It had been awakened, and it shone with brilliant Sage light. It was like a sun, fighting against the demonic shadow. Ten supreme elders raised the ancient Sage weapon together, providing an unending stream of divine power as they attacked the demonic shadow. ¡°A Sage weapon? Hahaha, it just so happens that I don¡¯t have a weapon now, and you¡¯ve given one to me just like that!¡± The demonic shadow laughed heartily. Facing the ancient Sage weapon that was scorchingly bright like the sun, he extended his demonic hand and grabbed the weapon. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± The ten supreme elders roared and worked together to provide more divine power to destroy the demonic shadow. However, it was all for naught. The Sage weapon struggled, but it was still firmly grasped by the demonic figure¡¯s hand, unable to break free. In the end, the demonic shadow laughed coldly, and the Sage halo that the Sage weapon had been giving off was shattered. The ten supreme elders who had revived shrieked miserably before being crushed into pieces. Their bodies and souls were destroyed, becoming the demonic Shadow¡¯s food. ¡°Supreme elders!¡± The Holy Land disciples wept in grief. Although they were angry, they were filled with despair and helplessness as they looked at the monstrous demonic figure! Even though Ling Ran was grieving, her expression did not change. She let out a soft shout and took the initiative to ride a Sage weapon and soar into the sky. As an immortal Holy Land that had once been at its peak, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s foundation was naturally not bad. They had more than one Sage weapon. And now, the Holy Lord was taking the initiative to use their second Sage weapon to fight against the great demon. At the same time, the previous Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, who had been in seclusion, was also alarmed and came out. He rushed into the sky together with Ling Ran and the two Holy Lords worked together to control the Sage weapon and fight. However, with a roar from the demonic figure, Ling Ran and Lu Xuan felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings as they vomited blood as red as plum blossoms. The gap was too great. The two of them were only Qiyao realm Kings, and even with a Sage weapon, they were far from being a match for the Demon King. ¡°Holy Lord!¡± Everyone in the Holy Land cried out in grief. Nothing should happen to the Holy Lord! Kacha! All of a sudden, in the deepest part of Taiyi Holy Land, a terrifying Sage light soared into the sky, accompanied by unparalleled Sagely might. This gave the Holy Land hope again. The Holy Land¡¯s foundation had recovered! Taiyi Holy Land had produced many ancient Sages in the past. Some of the ancient Sages¡¯ lifespans hadn¡¯t been exhausted and there was still some time before their time was up, but to protect the Taiyi Holy Land, they were willing to be sealed by the Divine Spirit Source until they would finally reappear in this era. Now that the Taiyi Holy Land was on the verge of being destroyed, the ancient Sage, who was the foundation of the Holy Land, had naturally recovered. The ancient Sage looked very old. He was about to die and his skin was crumpled like the bark of a tree. His body emitted a decaying aura. Although he had not passed away, he did not have much lifespan to speak of. At most, he could only live for a few decades. Now, he had been forced to come into being. With a sigh, he gained control of an ancient Sage weapon. Under everyone¡¯s eyes, the Sage weapon was restored to its extreme. The power of the Sage path was so mighty that it even dispersed the demonic power. This made countless people in the Taiyi Holy Land full of excitement. They knelt and shouted, ¡°Respected Sage ancestral master!¡± The demonic figure looked at the Sage from afar, his expression unchanged. He merely said coldly, ¡°An old man who¡¯s about to pass away¡­ Why didn¡¯t you choose to enjoy your last few decades? To think you would appear and stop me! Let alone the fact that you¡¯re about to die, even at your peak, you¡¯re only so-so. Since you have such a death wish, I¡¯ll send you off today!¡± Boom! The demonic shadow made a move and revived the Sage weapon in his hand as well, then attacked the Sage ancestral master of the Taiyi Holy Land. The Sage sighed and said, ¡°You¡¯re a Sage, after all. You¡¯ll be punished by the heavens if you massacre without restraint. I had no choice but to come out and stop you.¡± The shockwaves from the battle between two Sages with their Sage weapons were naturally destructive. It could¡¯ve easily caused the mountains and rivers within hundreds of miles to collapse. It was extremely terrifying. If Ling Ran had not activated the Sage-level array and limited the attacks of the two Sages to within the Sage-level array, the destructive power of the battle between the two Sages would have caused extremely terrifying and massive destruction, and countless lives would have been plunged into misery and suffering. Even so, the Sage-level array was still on the verge of collapse as if it was about to explode. It was terrifying. The people from the Taiyi Holy Land fell into despair. The old Sage was indeed very strong, but he was too old and his body was decaying. He had only the power of a Sage but couldn¡¯t unleash his peak combat power. The demonic shadow had just awakened from the seal, but its strength was clearly even stronger. Furthermore, it was at the prime of its life, so its power was much stronger. Thus, the old Sage was quickly suppressed by the demonic shadow, and even sustained injuries, constantly coughing up blood. It could be seen that if this continued, the old Sage would very likely be forced to pass away in advance. ¡°What do we do?¡± Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was filled with despair. It wasn¡¯t that no one had thought of the Elder King, but no matter how strong the Elder King was, he was still a Venerable. Even the old Sage was on the verge of death, so the Elder King should be far from being the Demon King¡¯s match. Moreover, the Elder King was away from the Holy Land. Boom! The old Sage was forced back and was covered in blood. At the same time, beams of blazing holy light appeared on his body, causing the Laws of Heaven and Earth to shake as if everything was going to burn. ¡°Ancestral master!¡± In the Taiyi Holy Land, many elders and disciples were crying because the old Sage was bound to die early due to having been awakened by force and using too much of his Sage divine power. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I don¡¯t have much time left anyway. It¡¯s already good enough that I¡¯m still alive. Even if I die, I can at least contribute one last bit to the Taiyi Holy Land. I can be considered to have no regrets!¡± Boom! With that, the old Sage¡¯s body bloomed with waves of power that were even stronger than before. Although he was passing away, he was also forcefully tempering the blood essence in his body, forcibly recovering to the peak of his life. Even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough. ¡°Kill!¡± At this moment, the old Sage didn¡¯t seem like an old man who was about to die. He seemed to be in his 20s or 30s. His black hair flowed and he looked extremely heroic as he charged toward the ancient Demon King. Boom! With an unparalleled resplendent light and an earth-shaking sound, the old Sage disappeared. In the sky, a figure fell from the sky amidst the thick smoke. It was like a huge meteorite hitting the land of the Taiyi Holy Land, causing a terrible explosion that affected hundreds of miles. That was the Demon King of the ancient race! ¡°Was he killed by the old ancestor?¡± Many of the elders and disciples within the Holy Land were still paying close attention to the situation of the ancient race Demon King, hoping that he would be killed. However, very quickly, the figure of the ancient race¡¯s Demon King soared into the skies once more. The demonic might on his body was incomparably terrifying as he looked down at the surroundings. Even though he was covered in blood, his aura was still extremely strong. He roared out in rage, ¡°Damn old man, to think you want to drag me down with you before you die.¡± Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was in despair. The old Sage had used his advanced death as a price to release his strongest attack, yet he still couldn¡¯t kill the Demon King of the ancient race. The latter was still alive, and his demonic might was monstrous. ¡°Is the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed today?¡± Many elders and disciples were in despair. Although they knew that there was still the Elder King, no matter how strong the Elder King was, how could he be a match for a Jiutian realm Sage Demon King? they hoped that the Elder King did not know about this and did not rush over. This way, they could preserve the seed of the Taiyi Holy Land to the greatest extent. Boom! At this moment, the Sage-level array that covered the Taiyi Holy Land was suddenly torn apart. A peerless figure appeared in the sky all of a sudden. It was Qin Chen. At the critical moment, he managed to rush back! Chapter 74 - Duel with a Sage In the end, Qin Chen still managed to rush back. He looked at the Sage-level Demon King in the sky, who was roaring at the sky. The latter¡¯s demonic aura was overflowing, and he frowned. This shouldn¡¯t be the case. The seal he left behind should¡¯ve been able to last for quite a while. ¡°Eh? It¡¯s you!¡± Naturally, the Sage-level Demon King also noticed Qin Chen. That familiar aura and familiar blood qi just felt so familiar that it couldn¡¯t help but reveal a surprised expression, ¡°I wanted to find you. I didn¡¯t expect you to show up on your own. To think I didn¡¯t need to expend any effort.¡± ¡°Elder King!?¡± The elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were all shocked. To think the Elder King had appeared at this time. ¡°Elder King, please leave immediately!¡± Ling Ran said in a hurry. ¡°Elder King, run!¡± The other elders and disciples also shouted for him to leave. The Elder King was the only Bahuang realm Venerable in the Tai Yi Holy Land. As long as he was still alive, there was hope for the Taiyi Holy Land to be rebuilt. Qin Chen was stunned. He was a great Venerable at the peak of the Bahuang realm, but he was being shouted at to run for his life by a group of Sancai, Sixiang, and Wuxing realm little fellows. It was strange just thinking about it. ¡°You can¡¯t escape!¡± At this moment, the Sage-level Demon King sneered and stared at Qin Chen, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that only a few years have passed, and you have become a level nine great Venerable. It¡¯s truly beyond my expectations.¡± Qin Chen looked at the Sage-level Demon King with a strange expression and said, ¡°You seem to have just escaped a calamity and lost a lot of your power. Instead of running away when you saw me, you¡¯re still swaggering around. I have to say, you¡¯re really brave.¡± ¡°I should be the one saying that. You¡¯re just in the Bahuang realm. So what if you¡¯ve become a great Venerable? There¡¯s still an insurmountable gap between us, yet you didn¡¯t run for your life and even dared to come back,¡± The Sage-level Demon King said. ¡°Why should I run?¡± Qin Chen asked, ¡°You¡¯re just a crippled Sage. I can just kill you. Do I even have the need to run?¡± Hearing this, the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s expression darkened. The other party was a mere Venerable of the Bahuang realm. Even if he was a great Venerable, how dare he call him a crippled Sage? The boy was really courting death. It seemed that he was ignorant of the huge difference between the Bahuang realm and the Jiutian realm, and the distance between Sage and mortal! The Sage-level Demon King roared, shaking Heaven and Earth as it charged towards Qin Chen, ¡°Brat, how dare you blaspheme me? Today, I¡¯ll let you understand how big the gap between the Bahuang realm and the Jiutian realm is. Even if you¡¯re a great Venerable, you are far inferior to me!¡± Boom! The Sage-level Demon King was extremely fast and arrived in front of Qin Chen in the blink of an eye. Its demonic claw was enough to tear apart any Bahuang realm Venerable. However, Qin Chen simply turned his hand around and struck out with his palm. ¡°You¡¯re simply an ant trying to shake a tree!¡± The Sage-level Demon King sneered. In his opinion, Qin Chen¡¯s actions were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a waste of effort. Boom! Heaven and Earth cracked as the two attacks collided, and a terrifying destructive power spread out, tearing apart the void. However, to the Demon King¡¯s surprise, Qin Chen was as still as a mountain, blocking its attack. It couldn¡¯t believe it and said, ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°Why is it impossible?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly. He had an unparalleled physique, to begin with. Now that he had devoured and refined the Sage source of the pegasus race¡¯s ancient Sage, he had improved even further. Naturally, he was not afraid. He waved his hand, and his palm was like a blade, bursting out terrifying Law of the great path that tore the void and hit the Sage-level Demon King heavily. Boom! With a loud bang, the Sage-level Demon King was like a black comet, crashing from the sky into the earth, crushing mountains, and sending dust into the sky. Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was dumbfounded. The Sage-level Demon King was sent flying? They didn¡¯t know that after Qin Chen devoured and refined the Sage source, he was no longer the same as before. His Chaotic Holy Body had been strengthened. In the past, he had the means to fight against Sages with the help of various methods. Now, he could do it with the strengthened Chaotic Holy Body alone. Boom! Soon, the Sage-level Demon King rose into the sky again. There were not many injuries on its body, but it looked at Qin Chen with surprise, ¡°You¡¯re only a Venerable of the Bahuang realm. How did you send me flying? Did you hide your cultivation? Are you actually a Jiutian realm Sage? No, this shouldn¡¯t be. You¡¯re not in the Jiutian realm. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I would¡¯ve been seriously injured by that attack.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I send you flying if I¡¯m not a Sage?¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. He looked at the Sage-level Demon King and said, ¡°You¡¯re nothing but a crippled Sage0level Demon King of the ancient race. Do you really think that you¡¯re still the invincible Sage of the past? ¡± At the same time, Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and his speed reached the extreme. Like a stream of light, he arrived in front of the Sage-level Demon King in the blink of an eye and made a move. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re looking for death!¡± The Sage-level Demon King was enraged. Qin Chen and this Sage-level Demon King thus began an unprecedented Sage-level battle. Although the former was still in the Bahuang realm, at his level of cultivation, his every move was filled with the truth of the great path. He was casual and his moves were without a fixed pattern. He was a great Venerable of the Bahuang and with the Chaotic Holy Body. He cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra that allowed him to fight across realms. Qin Chen¡¯s strength could be said to have surpassed the Bahuang realm and reached the level of the Jiutian realm. He was strong enough to fight a true Sage of the Jiutian realm. ¡°This guy¡­¡± The Sage-level Demon King¡¯s expression turned gloomy. As a Demon King of the Jiutian realm, he had long left mortality and became a Sage. All the divine abilities he used were extremely powerful and could cause extremely terrible consequences. Boom! It was just a casual strike from the Sage-level Demon King, but a huge mountain was shattered into dust, ceasing to exist. With a raise of his hand, he could destroy mountains and rivers, razing them to the ground! This was the true horror of the Jiutian realm Sage. A casual strike from a Sage was enough to annihilate mountains and rivers. There was no doubt that the battle between the two was a catastrophe for the Taiyi Holy Land. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful mountains and rivers within a hundred miles of the Holy Land were razed to the ground and turned into ashes, leaving only dust and a vast wilderness. This scene made the elders and disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land gasp. Any of the shockwaves had such terrible power that could not be measured with common sense. Naturally, they didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer, as that would be courting death. They had to leave this place quickly. ¡°Heaven-destroying Imperial Dragon!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned slightly cold. Eighty-one streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi rushed out of his body, each of which was three meters long. The eighty-one streaks of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi were like eighty-one ancient true dragons, exuding a terrifying aura, attacking the Sage-level Demon King with a mysterious path. Puchi! Although the Sage-level Demon King tried its best to block the attack, it was still sent flying. It opened its mouth and spat out blood and looked at the dragon qi in shock. If it didn¡¯t know that the dragon qi wasn¡¯t real, it would have thought that they were truly the Immemorial Dragons. Chapter 75 - Breakthrough, Become a Sage! However, the Sage-level Demon King was also very surprised, because Qin Chen¡¯s attack power had increased by a lot in a short time. The Sage-level Demon King couldn¡¯t possibly know that among the heavenly emperors, Emperor Shi¡¯s offensive power was ranked at the top. Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi was a technique cultivated by Emperor Shi, and at his peak, the power of the technique could even kill heavenly emperors. Now that the technique was in the master stage, its power was naturally extraordinary. However, how could the Sage-level Demon King be weak? None of the living beings who could reach the Jiutian realm were weak. They had all fought their way up step by step through countless battle achievements. Now that the Demon King was fighting with Qin Chen, it had aroused its viciousness. With a roar, it used a Sage-level supernormal knowledge. The Sage-level supernormal knowledge was naturally inferior to the emperor-level supernormal knowledge, but the difference was that the Sage-level Demon King was an existence in the Jiutian realm, so when it used Sage-level supernormal knowledge, it could perfectly display the power the supernormal knowledge should have. In contrast, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t perfectly unleash the power of his supernormal knowledge yet. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he charged forward. He had no fear when facing this Sage-level Demon King. Without a doubt, the Sage-level Demon King was very strong, much stronger than any enemy he had ever met. Even the ancient Sages of the pegasus race were no match for him. Rather, there was a huge gap between them. Still, he wasn¡¯t afraid. On the contrary, he was filled with a strong desire to fight. He yearned to kill this Sage-level Demon King and add a glorious record of killing a Sage to his achievements. The two collided at their peak and various supernormal knowledge collided as well. For a moment, the world was filled with the laws of their supernormal knowledge. From time to time, areas of the void would annihilate, making mountains and rivers collapse and turn into ashes, ceasing to exist. As the battle moved on, the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land breathed a sigh of relief. They marveled at the Elder King¡¯s terrifying strength. To think he could even fight a Jiutian realm Demon King without being at a disadvantage. They secretly wondered how powerful the Elder King was. Perhaps, he was not in the Bahuang realm, but in the Jiutian realm. Thinking about this, they couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath, feeling very pleasantly surprised. Although there weren¡¯t many Bahuang realm Venerables in Canglan Continent, there were still a few. However, Sages of the Jiutian realm were extinct in the Canglan Continent. At least, that was the case on the surface. If the Taiyi Holy Land could produce a Sage of the Jiutian realm, then the Taiyi Holy Land would become one of the top immortal inheritances in the world, and even be on equal footing with the immortal divine dynasties. In this era where there were no Sages, no one could underestimate the influence of a Jiutian realm expert who could even become the uncrowned king of the era. Just thinking about it made them very excited. ¡°To be able to fight a Jiutian realm Sage-level Demon King to such an extent, could it be that the Elder King is also in the Jiutian realm?¡± Ling Ran and Lu Xuan looked at the Elder King in surprise. They desired such in their hearts as well. After all, they understood the great influence of the Jiutian realm and the heights that the Taiyi Holy Land would be pushed to. ¡°No, you can¡¯t just be in the Bahuang realm. You¡¯ve also entered the Jiutian realm, haven¡¯t you? ¡± The Sage-level Demon King was shocked and angry. It didn¡¯t believe that Qin Chen was only in the Bahuang realm. He must be in the Jiutian realm. Otherwise, how could he be so strong? It had never seen a great Venerable so ridiculously strong that he could fight a Jiutian Sage-level Demon King to such an extent. ¡°The Jiutian realm?¡± Qin Chen looked at the Sage-level Demon King coldly and said, ¡°If I were in the Jiutian realm, you would have been dead long ago!¡± As he spoke, another terrifying punch landed heavily on the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s body. It was the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. With a loud boom, the Demon King was sent flying. All of a sudden, the Laws of the Great Path between Heaven and Earth madly gathered in Qin Chen¡¯s direction. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were cold. Indistinctly, a terrifying aura that made even the Sage-level Demon King feel the danger of death appeared on his palm. ¡°This aura!¡± The Sage-level Demon King¡¯s expression changed as if it was facing the god of death. ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± Qin Chen enunciated each word clearly. He struck his palm out, and a huge palm print that was a hundred thousand feet in size suddenly appeared. It contained an aura that seemed to be able to destroy the times as it descended from the sky and heavily struck the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s body. With a loud boom, half of the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s body was shattered! Even the Sage-level Demon King was unable to withstand the attack of a heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge like this, and its powerful Sage body shattered! However, it was clear that the Sage-level Demon King was more difficult to deal with than the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. The former¡¯s physical body was far stronger. Back when Qin Chen was dealing with the ancient Sage of the pegasus race, he had used this heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and had succeeded in killing the latter directly. Now, he had only severely injured the Sage-level Demon King, but not killed it. From this, it could be seen that there was a huge gap even between Sages. The Sage body of the Sage-level Demon King was much more terrifying. It could probably be considered an advanced Sage in the Jiutian realm. ¡°Damn it, to think I¡¯m being suppressed by a little fellow from the Bahuang realm,¡± The Sage-level Demon King¡¯s expression was gloomy. Its vitality was extremely shocking. Its Sage body, which had been torn apart by the heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge, was gradually recovering. At the same time, a huge machete, which was engraved with special patterns, appeared in its hand. Without a sound, it chopped toward Qin Chen¡¯s head. There were no signs of the void being shattered, but the terrifying power was condensed to the extreme. The silence was better than sounds! Qin Chen felt a terrible sense of danger. The machete was not simple. It was no ordinary weapon and very likely to be a top-level Sage weapon. Moreover, the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s attack was not simple either. Qin Chen dared not be careless. With a light roar, a large halberd appeared in his hand. He drew mysterious marks and drew in the Law power of Heaven and Earth to block in front of him. Clang! Sparks flew, but the large machete was blocked. Qin Chen was as still as a mountain when he gripped his halberd. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± Lu Xuan, the old Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, and all the elders were shocked when they saw the halberd. They had all witnessed the peerless weapon of the great Venerable back then being placed in the Demon Sealing Land. Later, someone had broken into the land and the halberd had suddenly disappeared. At that time, they had thought that it was some Grandmaster in the Wuxing realm who had taken the halberd away. They did not expect it to appear in the hands of the Elder King. Could it be that the person who had made a move back then was the Elder King? The people from the Taiyi Holy Land were suspicious, but they had no thoughts of questioning the Elder King. Qin Chen brandished the Desolate Divine Halberd. With a boom, the void sank, and the Sage-level Demon King was sent flying. The latter vomited blood, shocked by the terrifying power of the young man and his extraordinary weapon. ¡°Die, old man!¡± Qin Chen continued his pursuit. With the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand, he caught up with the Demon King in an instant and arrived before the latter. Then, he smashed the Desolate Divine Halberd down madly, again and again. Each time, it caused the earth to shake and crack. It was a shocking sight. However, the Sage-level Demon King wasn¡¯t a simple opponent. It forcefully used a mouthful of blood essence and became much stronger. It wasn¡¯t an ordinary Sage either. Its body surged with a terrifying power that blocked Qin Chen¡¯s attack. Boom! All of a sudden, Qin Chen was struck by fortune and he broke through. He had become a Sage! Chapter 76 - Qin Chen Becomes a Sage! Qin Chen was at the peak of the Bahuang realm, to begin with. Plus, he had accumulated for several years and had just used the Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique to devour and refine a Jiutian realm Sage source not long ago. As such, he was at a critical point and was only one step away from breaking through to the Jiutian realm. Now, he had broken through during the battle with the Sage-level Demon King. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s aura skyrocketed. An aura that far exceeded any might he had in the past burst out and instantly flooded the Taiyi Holy Land. It carried an extraordinary Sagely might. Sagely might! Heaven and Earth rumbled as if millions of thunders were cracking. With the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand, Qin Chen casually struck out. With a loud boom, the Sage-level Demon King was sent flying dozens of miles away like a cannonball. Only after crashing through many steep mountains did he finally stop. He opened his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, then looked at Qin Chen, whose aura was rising, in shock, ¡°You¡¯ve broken through?¡± The people from the Taiyi Holy Land were also dumbfounded. They had never expected the Elder King to break through at this time. Moreover, it was a huge breakthrough. To be honest, the people of the Taiyi Holy Land didn¡¯t know much about the Elder King¡¯s realm. He seemed to be a great Venerable, but they also suspected that he was in the Jiutian realm. Now, seeing that he had released the Sagely might the instant he broke through, they immediately understood that the Elder King had been a great Venerable before and had now advanced to the Jiutian realm. When Qin Chen advanced to the Jiutian realm, countless tribulation clouds gathered in the sky. The terrifying streaks of heavenly tribulation were like giant dragons, swimming about as if they would descend at any time. ¡°Crap! If I break through now, it¡¯ll be a disaster for the entire Taiyi Holy Land if the heavenly tribulations come down upon this place,¡± Qin Chen knew how terrifying his heavenly tribulations were. Any one of them was enough to kill a King. Once they fell, it would be a disaster for the entire Taiyi Holy Land. This kind of heavenly tribulation would be destructive even to a prosperous immortal Holy Land, let alone the declining Taiyi Holy Land. The most important thing right now was not to kill the Sage-level Demon King but to leave as soon as possible. Qin Chen threw out the Desolate Divine Halberd, which instantly pierced through the sky and pierced through the Sage-level Demon King who was struggling to stand up. The Desolate Divine Halberd contained the chaotic Sage power that Qin Chen had just obtained. It pierced through the ground and exploded with a terrifying Sagely might, causing the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s body to crack. At the same time, it also drew in the Laws of Heaven and Earth within a thousand miles, forming layers of Sage path seals, severely injuring the Sage-level Demon King and sealing him in place. Qin Chen didn¡¯t have time to kill the Sage-level Demon King, so he could only seal it to prevent it from harming the Taiyi Holy Land for now. Whoosh! Following this, Qin Chen soared into the sky and brought the terrifying heavenly tribulations away with him. His figure was extremely fast, like a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to an altitude a hundred thousand miles away from the ground. He passed through the atmosphere and arrived in the outer realm. The outer realm was full of stars that were moving slowly in the sky. There was also a vast star fragment belt with a radius of billions of miles. Pieces of star fragments as big as mountains were scattered all over the place. It was as if they were going to land on the Canglan Continent at any time. Qin Chen brought the terrifying heavenly tribulation into the star fragment belt. Immediately, the terrifying tribulations descended and bombarded him. Naturally, Qin Chen had prepared for this and went all out. Without a doubt, his heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying as he had the Chaotic Holy Body and cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Scripture. In an instant, thousands of lightning bolts as thick as mountains struck him from all directions, drowning him completely. The star fragment belt, which was a hundred thousand miles in radius, was flooded by the heavenly tribulation, and countless star fragments exploded. When Qin Chen was undergoing the heavenly tribulation, he would sometimes take the initiative to withstand the tribulations to temper and strengthen his body, allowing his Chaotic Holy Body to improve further. At other times, he would take the initiative to attack, shattering the heavenly tribulations that could kill ordinary Venerables, turning them into tribulation light that filled the sky. Then, he would devour the light into his body and temper his body internally. ¡­ Although Qin Chen¡¯s tribulation was a hundred thousand miles away from the ground, his heavenly tribulation was too terrifying. After all, it covered a radius of a hundred thousand miles, and as time passed, it continued to expand, attracting the attention of many experts in the Canglan Continent below. All of them were shocked. ¡°Why is there such bright lightning? It¡¯s like¡­ The heavenly tribulation!¡± ¡°The heavenly tribulation? Someone is undergoing the heavenly tribulation and is a peerless expert at that. It¡¯s so far away from the ground, it seems that the other party is in the star fragment belt. Could it be that someone is undergoing the heavenly tribulation for Sages? That being said, isn¡¯t the range of this Sagely heavenly tribulation too large? Since ancient times, most heavenly tribulations only cover a radius of ten thousand miles. This Sagely tribulation is more like the legendary Sage King heavenly tribulation recorded in ancient books!¡± ¡°Could it be that someone in the world has silently reached the Sage realm and is about to reach the Sage King realm?¡± ¡°Who is going through the tribulation?¡± ¡­ At this moment, countless experts were watching the shocking heavenly tribulation in the sky due to its magnificent scope. At first, they thought it was a heavenly tribulation where a Venerable was breaking through to the Jiutian realm, but the more they watched on, the more suspicious they became. It didn¡¯t look like it at all. Rather, it was more like the legendary heavenly tribulation for Sage Kings. With the recovery of Heaven and Earth, many of the ten thousand ancient races had already awakened. Just like in the pegasus race, some ancient Sages had awakened as well. Looking at the sky, they revealed a look of shock, ¡°What a terrifying heavenly tribulation. Is someone about to break through to the Sage King realm?¡± ¡°Could it be that an ancient Sage from the ten thousand races has broken through to become a Sage King?¡± Beyond the heavens, the star fragment belt. Qin Chen¡¯s heavenly tribulation lasted for a full day and night before it gradually dissipated. At this time, he was covered in blood, and many parts of his body had been cut open, so deep that his bones could be seen. However, after going through the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, his Chaotic Holy Body had truly become a Sage body and was not just the Chaotic Holy Body now. Although the Chaotic Holy Body had the word ¡°holy¡± in its name, it was only called that because it was too extraordinary. As for the Sage body, one could only have a Sage body after one had transcended the mortal world and entered the Sage realm. After the Chaotic Holy Body became a Sage body, it had thus completely transcended mortality. Qin Chen¡¯s every action thus contained boundless Sagely might that was much more powerful than ordinary Sages. Boom! When the heavenly tribulation was coming to an end, Qin Chen¡¯s body was covered in blood and his clothes were in tatters. At this moment, a huge palm that was a thousand miles wide suddenly stretched out from a hundred thousand miles away. It was filled with an extremely strong Sage aura as it descended from the sky and grabbed at Qin Chen. It wasn¡¯t an ordinary Sage, but an advanced Sage who attacked Qin Chen. Perhaps it was because the other party didn¡¯t want to see another peerless Sage in the world, or perhaps it was because the ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races didn¡¯t want the human race to have a Jiutian realm Sage, no matter what, the intentions were malicious. Qin Chen opened his eyes and shot out two beams of light. Like two heavenly swords, they pierced through the thousand-mile hand. With the sounds of something being pieced through, two huge bloody holes appeared in the hand, and blood splattered all over the starry sky. ¡°Get lost!¡± He roared and raised his fist to punch at the huge hand. With a boom, the huge hand exploded, turning into blood, flesh, and white bones that filled the sky. Chapter 77 - Become a Sage and Return A muffled groan came from the depths of the starry sky. It was obvious that the ancient Sage who had attacked was injured. The other party probably never expected Qin Chen to be so powerful right after his tribulation. With that, the other party immediately used his Sage divine power to sweep up the distorted flesh and revealed bones in his palm, about to leave the starry sky. These were the flesh and bones that the other party had tempered thousands of times. After reassembling them, he would be able to return to his peak with some cultivation. However, if he lost this hand, although he could regrow it, the strength would be far inferior. An ancient Sage like him would not give up any part of his body unless he had no other choice. However, Qin Chen was not going to let this mysterious ancient Sage off so easily for performing a sneak attack on him. He snorted, ¡°You want to leave? How can it be that easy?!¡± He raised his fist again, but this time, he used the emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, and punched in the direction of the retreating palm. Immediately, the starry sky exploded and the mysterious ancient Sage in the dark was hit. Blood spattered and the star fragment belt within a radius of ten thousand miles was dyed red. It was obvious that the mysterious ancient Sage was injured and thus wanted to continue attacking. However, in the next moment, Qin Chen swung his fist three times in a row, dispersing the heavenly tribulation that covered a radius of more than a hundred thousand miles, turning it into tribulation light that filled the sky like stars. Then, Qin Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, devouring the light. With the circulation of the Resurrection Technique, his injuries recovered in an instant, and his spirit and power also reached their peak. At the same time, the Ressurection Technique was circulated, and his injuries were completely healed in an instant, thus revealing his now strong Sage body that was emitting a hazy Sage light. The light attracted thousands of Heaven and Earth paths, the commotion shocking. An unusually shocking Sagely might surged, shaking the star fragments within a hundred thousand miles. It even triggered the stars in the surroundings, causing them to shine with brilliant starlight that shrouded Qin Chen. He was like the ruler of the starry sky. ¡°What a powerful Sagely might! To think he¡¯s only a Jiutian realm Sage, but his Sagely might is already so terrifying! This new Sage isn¡¯t simple at all. I shouldn¡¯t have underestimated him! When did the human race give birth to such a peerless Sage?!¡± The mysterious ancient Sage hiding in the dark said in shock. He could feel that Qin Chen¡¯s blood energy was as vast as an abyss, as well as the terrifying Sagely might the latter emitted. Both showed that Qin Chen was utterly different from ordinary Sages. Upon learning how terrifying this new Sage was, the ancient Sage did not dare to continue provoking him. After suffering a great loss, he quickly retreated, not hesitating to leave behind his broken palm. Qin Chen did not follow up with another attack. Since there was a mysterious ancient Sage hiding in the starry sky, there must be other mysterious unknown Sages hiding as well. It would be dangerous if he were to pursue the other party now. He put away the broken palm and turned it into a lump of Sage-level flesh, which was filled with powerful vitality. Anyone who had reached the Jiutian realm would have a strong life force and could live for seven to eight thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years. To many people, the flesh and blood of Sages were natural divine medicine. As long as the killing intent in their flesh and blood was alleviated, they could be refined into pills that could greatly increase one¡¯s vitality. At the same time, Qin Chen was also shocked. His guess was correct. This world was far more terrifying than he had imagined. The waters were deep. If he had not been cautious, he might have been killed by that ancient Sage while still weak. Furthermore, that ancient Sage was much stronger than the ancient Sage of the pegasus race and Sage-level Demon King. At the very least, the other party was not in a weakened state. Furthermore, the other party also had a rather high level of attainment in the Jiutian realm. Unfortunately, the other party had encountered a peerless genius like him. If it had been any other ordinary Sage, they would have been in deep trouble. After passing the tribulation and successfully becoming a Sage who had transcended mortality, Qin Chen naturally did not stay any longer in this mysterious starry sky. He left the starry sky and outer space rapidly. Wisps of chaotic ancient energy filled the air, covering his traces. It was only a given that he didn¡¯t want others to know his true identity. Soon, Qin Chen descended from the sky and returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. At this moment, he was far more powerful than when he was a great Venerable. After landing in the Taiyi Holy Land, the Desolate Divine Halberd still nailed the Sage-level Demon King to the ground. Even though a day and a night had passed, the Sage-level Demon King was still unable to break free and had been sealed here. Otherwise, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would have been destroyed by him, causing great misery and suffering. Qin Chen¡¯s return made the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land cheer. They were even more respectful of him. All of them knew that the Elder King had become an unparalleled Sage, so they were very excited. With a peerless Sage, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s status would be higher. It could even rise above the other immortal inheritances. One had to know that to become an immortal inheritance, the faction had to have produced a Jiutian realm Sage. However, even though a faction was an immortal inheritance, having a true Jiutian Sage and not having one were completely different scenarios. In the present world, Sages were extinct. Now that the Taiyi Holy Land had a Jiutian Sage, it could thus return to its glory. It could rule the southern desolate lands and even the world. The four immortal divine dynasties would have to show respect to it to a certain extent. This was the might of a Sage! Ling Ran and Lu Xuan also looked at Qin Chen in awe. They could not see through the wisps of clear light that surrounded Qin Chen¡¯s body before, and now, these wisps of clear light contained wisps of Sage light, which made him even more unfathomable. Qin Chen went straight to where the Sage-level Demon King was and stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the Demon King that had been pierced through. The Sage-level Demon King¡¯s expression changed drastically. He could sense that the other party¡¯s aura was completely different from before. It was much stronger. It was obvious that Qin Chen had already passed the heavenly tribulation and become a true Jiutian realm Sage. ¡°How is this possible? You just finished your tribulation, shouldn¡¯t you be consolidating your cultivation?¡± The Sage-level Demon King looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. Normally, no matter how heaven-defying a Sage was, he should have gone into seclusion to recuperate and consolidate his realm after passing the heavenly tribulation. Passing the heavenly tribulation didn¡¯t necessarily mean that one was a Sage. If one¡¯s realm wasn¡¯t consolidated, there was a certain chance that one would fall from the Sage realm. Since ancient times, there had been many such examples. Thus, once a Sage passed the heavenly tribulation, the first thing they had to do was to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate their realm. ¡°That¡¯s for ordinary people, but I don¡¯t need to do so!¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. How could the Sage-level Demon King know that Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, which allowed his foundation to be stable once he advanced? Moreover, he had countless divine pills and wondrous medicines, which he could eat as he pleased. There was no lack of pills to consolidate his realm, so he didn¡¯t have to worry at all. ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to get rid of you,¡± Qin Chen looked at the Sage-level Demon King and made a move. If Qin Chen had to use all his strength to deal with the Sage-level Demon King when he was a great Venerable, he could easily suppress him now. He pulled out the Desolate Divine Halberd, bringing with it a stream of divine blood. However, at the same time, the seal he had left behind had disappeared. The Sage-level Demon King knew that the current Qin Chen was much stronger than before. The first thing it did was not resist but rush into the sky. Chapter 78 - Killing Another Sage to Show Invincibility The current Sage-level Demon King had just broken free not long ago. After being sealed for a long time, the loss of its vitality was serious, and it was far from its peak. It needed to find a place to consume enough blood and flesh to recover. When it returned to its peak, it would take revenge on Qin Chen and wash the entire Taiyi Holy Land with blood to wash away its humiliation. ¡°Do you think you can escape?¡± The Sage-level Demon King was fast. In an instant, it had already left the territory of the Taiyi Holy Land, traveling dozens of miles with one step. However, a figure appeared beside the Demon King without a sound. It was Qin Chen. He used the Desolate Divine Halberd like a big stick and smashed it onto the Sage-level Demon King. Boom! The Demon King was like a falling star as it hit the ground, creating a huge pit on the ground. Even though the Sage body of the Sage-level Demon King was far stronger than an ordinary Sage, it couldn¡¯t withstand Qin Chen¡¯s attack. Its Sage body was torn into pieces, and where the halberd had hit was shattered. The Sage-level Demon King groaned in pain. At this time, the terrifying vitality of the Sage body was displayed, and his wounds quickly healed. ¡°As expected of a Sage body. Its vitality is amazing. But what if I do this?¡± Qin Chen landed before the Demon King and smashed down with the Desolate Divine Halberd again. This time, he used his exclusive chaos Sage path laws, which could only be condensed after becoming a Jiutian realm Sage. Once again, the Sage-level Demon King was hit and his flesh split open, badly mangled. This time, the astonishing vitality of the Sage body seemed to be useless, because Qin Chen¡¯s Sage path laws had contaminated the wounds, preventing them from healing. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Again and again, he used the Desolate Divine Halberd to smash down, turning the Sage-level Demon King into a bloody mess. Puchi! In the end, the Sage-level Demon King was smashed into a pile of flesh and blood with white bones everywhere. The Demon King could no longer bear it, and its head exploded. Its spirit was annihilated, and it turned into a broken corpse. It was completely dead! This was because the Desolate Divine Halberd was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon. It contained a trace of the will of a quasi-emperor, and while it was constantly attacking the Sage-level Demon King, it was also constantly eroding the target¡¯s spirit and will. In the shattered Sage skeleton, a Sage source was shining. Qin Chen put it away, flicked his sleeves, and used his secret knowledge to bring the headless Sage skeleton back to the Taiyi Holy Land. When they saw the Sage-level Demon King killed, the people of the Taiyi Holy Land cheered. The hidden danger that they had been worried about for many years had finally been completely resolved, and they no longer had to worry about it. ¡°Many thanks for Elder King¡¯s help!¡± Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was grateful. If the Elder King had not returned in time, they would have been dead. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s what I should do,¡± Qin Chen shook his head and grabbed the Sage-level Demon King¡¯s corpse. Although the Demon King was dead, its corpse was still a Sage corpse of the Jiutian realm. It contained powerful essence. If he refined it, it would greatly benefit his cultivation. With Qin Chen¡¯s personality, he naturally would not let go of what he could obtain. He immediately grabbed the skeleton of the Sage-level Demon King and returned to his residence to refine the skeleton into pills. Half a day later, he successfully produced a few divine pills that were emitting clear light. There were nine in total, and each of them contained the essence of the Sage-level Demon King. They were simply Sage pills, 9th-grade Sage pills. If news regarding the existence of such Sage pills were to spread, countless would definitely fight for them. However, it was only a given that Qin Chen would not hand such a precious item to anyone else. He kept the pills in the system space, hoping that they would come in handy one day. Although the Taiyi Holy Land had killed a Sage-level Demon King, they had also suffered a great loss. Back in the worst-case scenario, an old ancestor of the Jiutian realm whose lifespan was coming to an end was forced to come out and die in advance. That ancestor had been one of the powerful foundations of the Taiyi Holy Land. Such an existence couldn¡¯t be replaced after perished. The death of such a Jiutian realm ancestor was a huge loss to the Taiyi Holy Land. Fortunately, the Elder King had killed the Sage-level Demon King and entered the legendary Jiutian realm. Moreover, the Elder King¡¯s blood energy was at its peak, so he could live for a long time. This was undoubtedly great news for the Taiyi Holy Land. Not only could it completely offset the loss of a Jiutian realm ancestor, but it could also make the Taiyi Holy Land reach a higher level. Unfortunately, although the Elder King was in the Jiutian realm and had killed a Sage-level Demon King, he had always been elusive. Unless he appeared on his own initiative, it would be difficult to find him. Lord Dragon was also emotional. When they first met, although Venerable Chen was very strong, he was still a distance away from being a great venerable. But now, only twenty to thirty years had passed, and Venerable Chen had become a peerless Sage. Now, he could not be called Venerable Qin, but Sage Qin. Qin Chen didn¡¯t care about the outside world, and the news of the Taiyi Holy Land killing a Sage-level Demon King didn¡¯t spread. He had received some news that Heaven and Earth would soon be restored, and the ten thousand ancient races would be reborn. As such, it was very likely that the clan members of that Sage-level Demon King would come looking for him if they knew that the Sage-level Demon King had died in the Taiyi Holy Land. If that happened, even the Elder King might not be able to protect the Taiyi Holy Land. At the current stage, it was better to keep a low profile, just like how he had secretively killed the ancient Sage of the pegasus race not long ago. Even though he had already become a Sage of the Jiutian realm, he still had to be careful. ¡­ Although the news of Qin Chen passing the tribulation and becoming a Sage had been hidden by the Taiyi Holy Land so that no one knew about it, in the outside world, related news was still spreading all over the Canglan Continent. In this world, someone had passed the heavenly tribulation and become a Sage. Now, although Heaven and Earth were slowly recovering, they were still in the Dharma-ending age. Heaven and Earth restricted the path, and as a result, few could become Venerables in the Bahuang realm while Sages were almost extinct. But now, someone had silently broken this shackle and become a Sage in the Jiutian realm. Some even suspected that the other party was not just a Sage, because the Sagely heavenly tribulation had been too powerful. It had been hundreds of thousands of miles wide, so it was also likely that the other party was a legendary Sage King. Many in the world were guessing who the new Sage who had transcended the heavenly tribulation was. Only a handful of Venerables in the world had entered the Bahuang realm. Those who could transcend mortality and become Sages must have cultivated for many years that could number in the thousands. There were the royal elders of the four immortal divine dynasties, the living fossils of the immortal holy lands and ancient families that had once produced ancient great emperors, and also the old antiques who had hidden from the world¡­ Some even believed that an expert of the ten thousand ancient races had appeared to undergo tribulation. This saying was quite reasonable. Heaven and Earth were slowly recovering, and the Dharma-ending era was slowly coming to its end. The ten thousand paths were revived and the ten thousand ancient races should also be recovering. Moreover, the ten thousand ancient races were extremely prosperous in the primordial era. It was said that many peerless experts had been sealed before the era ended, so naturally, there should be no lack of great Venerables who had reached the Jiutian realm. In short, there was no accurate conclusion as to who the mysterious Sage who had transcended the heavenly tribulation was. Chapter 79 - The Steles Left Behind by the Thirty Ancient and Modern Emperors In the Imperial City of the Great Qin Dynasty, the new emperor, Qin Feng, stood in the great hall with his hands behind his back. He was listening to the 27th Imperial Prince recount his experiences in Death Valley. The 27th Imperial Prince didn¡¯t tell others, but he couldn¡¯t possibly keep it a secret from the current Imperial Lord, Qin Feng. After all, this matter was related to the Minister, the unparalleled expert of the Great Qin Dynasty. When Qin Feng heard that a mysterious person had become a Sage, he looked to the south and seemed to see the Taiyi Holy Land which was hundreds of millions of miles away. He murmured to himself, ¡°17th brother, you¡¯ve killed an ancient Sage of the pegasus race and have thus gained the power to kill a Sage. At the same time, another peerless expert has transcended his tribulation to become a Sage. It should be you, right? ¡± To be able to be chosen as the Imperial Lord, Qin Feng was naturally extraordinary in all aspects, be it in terms of intelligence, cultivation, knowledge, methods, and so on. From the clues, he could deduce that the mysterious Sage who had passed the tribulation not long ago was very likely to be his 17th brother, Qin Chen. This was because Qin Chen was a great Venerable at the peak of the Bahunag realm, to begin with. Plus, he could even kill Sages while in that realm. All these showed how terrifying his potential was. The more terrifying one¡¯s potential was, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be. It was normal for Qin Chen¡¯s heavenly tribulation to have covered a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. However, Qin Feng had also learned from the 27th Imperial Prince that Qin Chen did not want the matter of his killing a Sage to be known to the world. At the same time, he learned that Death Valley was the ancestral land of the pegasus race, one of the ten thousand ancient races. During the primordial era, the ten thousand races flourished while the human race declined into a vassal. The recovery of Heaven and Earth and the reappearance of the ten thousand races would inevitably change the current situation of the human race dominating the Canglan Continent. The territories would change greatly. Some Sages of the ten thousand races might even want to set an example by killing a few human experts and making the human race submit again. They would kill the human Sages as a warning to the human race. If those existences knew that the pegasus race had been exterminated because of Qin Chen, the other powerful races of the ten thousand ancient races would probably target him. Naturally, Qin Feng would not allow his 17th brother to suffer such a calamity. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that 17th brother isn¡¯t willing to return to the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family. Otherwise, with the power of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family, even if the ten thousand ancient races return, protecting him wouldn¡¯t be a problem,¡± Qin Feng let out a soft sigh. The Great Qin Dynasty was the immortal divine dynasty left behind by Emperor Shi, the invincible emperor of the ages. How terrifying would the dynasty¡¯s foundation be? Even the Taiyi Holy Land had ancient Sages sealed away, so the Great Qin Dynasty naturally had ancient Sages sealed away as well, and even more than one of them. In the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen was in seclusion. He had passed the Sagely heavenly tribulation and truly become a Jiutian Sage who was invincible in the world. After stepping into the Jiutian realm and dealing with the Sage-level Demon King, he finally had time to calm down and truly understand the extraordinariness of this realm. It was indeed worthy of being called the Sage level that transcended mortality where the mortal body would transform into a Sage body. At all times, surges of Heaven and Earth essence would come from all directions and enter his body. He could faintly merge with Heaven and Earth. In particular, Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, which made his Sage Body even more extraordinary. It constantly devoured a large amount of Heaven and Earth essence into his body, constantly transforming and strengthening his body. ¡°After so many years, I¡¯ve finally become a Sage of the Jiutian realm. I didn¡¯t expect the effects to be so extraordinary,¡± Qin Chen was surprised and overjoyed as he sensed the surging power in his body. It was not only from the divine sea derived from his dantian but also from the Chaotic Holy Body. After the Chaotic Holy Body transformed into a Jiutian Sage body, it became even more powerful. It was definitely a Sage body that far surpassed those of the same realm. So much so that Qin Chen was even confident that he could crush all the Sages of the Jiutian realm. Qin Chen went into seclusion to comprehend the extraordinary aspects of the Jiutian realm. This seclusion lasted for three months, a rare occurrence, far longer than before. Three months later, he came out of seclusion. By then, he had a complete grasp of the Jiutian realm, and he was confident that he was much stronger than when he was a great Venerable. At this point, he was confident that if another being like the ancient Sage of the pegasus race or Sage-level Demon King were to come, he could suppress them with one hand. At this moment, Qin Chen arrived at the great imperial hall where the Sage-level Demon King had been sealed. This palace was left behind by an ancient great emperor from the primordial era, though he had no idea which Emperor it was. The place seemed to be covered with the footprints of many ancient great emperors. It was clearly not as simple as it seemed. Back then, when the Sage-level Demon King had reappeared, it had brought about the great imperial hall reappearance as well. However, the place had been temporarily sealed by Ling Ran and the others, never exposed to the outside world. After Qin Chen became a Sage, this was the first time he stepped into the great imperial hall. Due to the reappearance of the Sage-level Demon King, a gap had appeared in the core array of the palace, allowing Qin Chen to enter easily. Even though he had become a Sage, he still maintained a respectful attitude towards the ancient great emperors. In the great imperial hall, Qin Chen entered the core area. It was a towering hall that made it seem as if he had come to another world. It was astonishingly huge, even more so than the Taiyi Holy Land. He guessed that the ancient great emperor must have opened up a huge space with his emperor-level secret knowledge in the palace. However, in this world, Kings of the Qiyao realm could travel through space, Venerables of the Bahuang realm could shatter the vacuum, and Sages of the Jiutian realm could open up space. It was not surprising that ancient emperors had such skills. The imperial hall was not as grand as he had imagined though. On the contrary, it was dilapidated. The walls were full of cracks, with sword marks, saber marks, axe marks, and other battle marks all over them. The few giant pillars that seemed to be supporting the sky were also tilted, and the imperial hall was almost completely shattered. ¡°These battle scars are at least marks left by Sages!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned serious. He had expected that there would be some terrifying secrets hidden in the imperial hall, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying. The place had experienced the most terrifying and fierce battle, and it was a battle between many Sage-level experts. In the center of the palace, apart from the countless battle marks, there were 33 steles more than ten thousand feet tall. They looked like 33 heavenly mountains. Qin Chen rose into the air and looked down at the thirty-three steles. He was shocked to find that the thirty-three steles were arranged in a circle in a special way. Under the 33 thousand-foot steles, special and mysterious lines connected them. ¡°This is an array!¡± Qin Chen could see that with the thirty-three steles as the center, the entire imperial hall was engraved with an ancient array. It was profound and mysterious. Even with Qin Chen¡¯s Jiutian realm attainment, he was unable to understand the function of this array. However, he did not think that this was an ordinary array. Regardless of the fact that the steles were the core, the ancient great emperor who left it behind must have had a profound intention. Just the fact that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had probably once stepped into this place was enough to prove that this array must have a shocking origin. What was even more shocking was that Qin Chen could feel the auras of different ancient great emperors from the thirty-three steles. Among them, there were the auras of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Shi, and the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor. As he had cultivated the imperial sutras and emperor-level supernormal knowledge of these ancient great emperors, he could naturally sense them. But now, there were 33 steles left behind by 33 different ancient emperors. This was what shocked Qin Chen. To be honest, it was hard for him to imagine that there had only been thirty or forty great emperors in history, yet all of them had left a stele in the imperial hall. Why was that? Qin Chen frowned. He could feel that there was definitely a shocking secret hidden in this imperial hall. However, it was a pity that even though he was a Jiutian realm Sage, he was still a long way from becoming an ancient Emperor. There was no point in overthinking it. Furthermore, there didn¡¯t seem to be any danger in this imperial hall. He should leave, for now. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t stupid. His goal was just to hide and stay safe. There was no need to lose his life just to explore secrets. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded with the heavenly Emperor-grade secret knowledge, Thirty-three Heavens!] Chapter 80 - Three Jiutian realm Sages Naturally, Qin Chen also checked in at the great Emperor¡¯s palace. There was no doubt that this was the place where thirty-three ancient and modern great emperors had left their traces, including a few heavenly emperors. The divinity here was naturally extremely strong. Once he checked in, Qin Chen obtained a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. ¡°This place is indeed a treasure land. To think I would get a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge the first time I checked in, it¡¯s no inferior to the place where Emperor Shi burned the books and buried the scholars. I just wonder which heavenly emperor created the Thirty-three Heavens.¡± Qin Chen carefully read the Thirty-three Heavens, which was a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. In the end, he found out that it was a supernormal knowledge created by the invincible heavenly emperor-level existence in the nine heavens and ten lands during the mythological era, Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor was a supreme heavenly emperor who was on par with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. In the mythological era that was even longer than the primordial age, the Supreme Emperor had dominated the entire era alone, unparalleled in both ancient and modern times. Thirty-three Heavens was a heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge created by the Supreme Emperor. It was said that when he was alive, the thirty-three heavens above his head could suppress everything in the heavens. Even ancient great emperors would be suppressed. Qin Chen was overjoyed. He already had the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. Now that he had the Thirty-three Heavens of the Supreme Emperor, he was even more unparalleled. Moreover, different from the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, the Thirty-three Heavens was a technique more for defense. When it was used, he only needed to stand there and the thirty-three heavens would protect him from all kinds of attacks! This time, Qin Chen sealed the great Emperor¡¯s palace again with his Sage realm cultivation. Other than him, no one else in the Taiyi Holy Land was allowed to enter the great Emperor¡¯s palace, including the Holy Lord Ling Ran. This was because the core of the great Emperor¡¯s palace was where the thirty-three ancient great emperor steles and the mysterious array were located. Even Qin Chen could not see through them, but he knew that the reason behind the thirty-three ancient great emperors leaving behind the steles was definitely not simple. A few more months passed. After Qin Chen killed the Sage-level Demon King and eliminated the future threat, as well as became a Jiutian-realm Sage, discussions had been buzzing in the outside world regarding who had passed the tribulation and become a Sage, but they ended up with nothing. The world eventually returned to peace. In the Taiyi Holy Land, the Holy Lord had ordered that the news of the Elder King¡¯s ascension to becoming a Sage was not to be leaked. Anyone who did so would be severely punished. Thus, no one knew about it. And this would eventually become a trump card of the Taiyi Holy Land. After becoming a Sage, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t too excited. To him, he had only become a Sage. There was still a huge distance to the legendary ancient great emperor level. The Jiutian realm was known as the Sage realm, but there was more than one level within the realm. There was a saying in the cultivation world: The three major realms of the Jiutian realm led to the divine! The meaning of this saying was that although the Jiutian realm was a major realm itself, it was also an independent major realm that was different from the other major realms. There were three major realms in the Jiutian realm at the same time, namely the Sage, Sage King, and Supreme Sage realms, which could each be further divided into nine levels. Only after passing the three major Sage realms could one enter the Shifang realm of the Divine! Therefore, the Jiutian realm was also known as the three major Sage Jiutian realms! Currently, Qin Chen was in the first Sage realm in the Jiutian realm, which made him a Sage. The second Sage realm in the Jiutian realm was the Sage King realm, and the third was the Supreme Sage realm. It could be said that Qin Chen was only at the starting point of the Sage realm. Of course, he had only cultivated for a few decades and was still very young. With the system¡¯s assistance, he believed that he would have a high chance of becoming an ancient great emperor in a few years. Time flowed by, and ten years passed. In the past ten years, thanks to Ling Ran¡¯s leadership and the influence of the Elder King, who was a Venerable on the surface but a Sage in the dark, the Taiyi Holy Land had recruited many talented disciples, and it had become increasingly prosperous. Furthermore, the Taiyi Holy Land was on good terms with the Great Qin Dynasty since the Elder King in the former faction was the Minister of the latter. His status was so high that every year, the Great Qin Dynasty would send a batch of talented royal descendants to cultivate in the Taiyi Holy Land under the leadership of Qin Feng. At the same time, the Taiyi Holy Land would also send some talented disciples to cultivate in some of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s cultivation secret realms. Therefore, many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been well trained. In the past ten years, a group of talents in the Sancai, Sixiang, and Wuxing realms had been trained. Many had the hope of breaking through to the Qiyao realm and becoming future Kings. The Taiyi Holy Land had truly begun to regain its glory. At the same time, in the past ten years, the Imperial Lord Qin Feng had visited the Taiyi Holy Land many times in the name of visiting. Naturally, his main purpose was to see Qin Chen. Of course, on the surface, Qin Feng was still the Elder King¡¯s disciple, so Ling Ran would naturally not reject his arrival. During this time, Qin Feng learned that Qin Chen had indeed become a Jiutian-realm Sage. It was both expected and unexpected. After confirming it, he was still shocked and happy. Since Qin Chen was a member of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family, it was equivalent to the Great Qin Dynasty having a Jiutian-realm Sage as well. At the same time, Qin Feng also brought some relevant news to Qin Chen. In the past ten years, Heaven and Earth had gradually recovered and many ancient races had already appeared. However, they were relatively low-key and not as powerful as imagined. They also took the initiative to get along well with the human race. Most importantly, some of the most powerful ancient imperial races of the primordial era had yet to awaken. They were existences like the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family, ancient imperial clans that had once produced ancient great emperor-level existences, making them exceptionally strong. Moreover, in the primordial age, when all the paths were destroyed, the ancient imperial clans were not like the current human race¡¯s emperor and imperial clans, which had a long history. Almost all the powerful cultivators in those clans were sealed, and they had no lack of Sage-level existences. They were still in a deep sleep, but their locations were unknown. Once they reappeared, it would definitely change the situation of the world. ¡°So what if they reappear? What does that have to do with me?¡± Qin Chen pouted. He didn¡¯t have the demeanor of a Jiutian-realm Sage at all. His purpose was simple, and that was to be cautious and stay safe. If those ancient races didn¡¯t provoke him, he wouldn¡¯t bother to do anything. He just had to protect the Taiyi Holy Land. The Great Qin Dynasty was left behind by Emperor Shi, making it an immortal divine dynasty. It had an emperor-level inheritance and in terms of foundation, it was not much weaker than the ancient imperial clans. Naturally, it had nothing to fear. ¡°Alas, I¡¯ve only reached level 3 of the Sage realm after ten years of cultivation. My cultivation speed has been gradually slowing down these years. I¡¯m still some distance away from level 4. I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able to cross it. I hope I can get something from this check-in. It would be great if I could level up by three levels just like what happened back at Heavenly Dragon Mountain,¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself and went to the great Emperor¡¯s palace to check in again. ¡°System, I want to check in!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded with the ¡°Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls¡±!] Chapter 81 - Refining Tenth ¡°Wow, it¡¯s actually the legendary Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls!¡± When Qin Chen heard the notification, he could not help but be shocked. This was because Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls was not an ordinary alchemy scroll. It was a secret scroll left behind by an ancient great emperor named the Great Alchemy Emperor. During the primordial era, the Great Alchemy Emperor was known as the number one alchemist in the history of alchemy. The pills he refined were even rumored to be able to resurrect ancient great emperors. However, after the Great Alchemy Emperor passed away, he left behind Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls, which were coveted by countless people. Later on, the alchemy holy land was almost wiped out and almost lost all its heritage. Although it was preserved, it was said that several scrolls of Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls had been seized. Therefore, it was incomplete. There was no doubt that the system¡¯s products were of the highest quality. The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls that Qin Chen had obtained were definitely the complete version. Even though he had obtained the corresponding alchemy technique before, his alchemy technique had only reached level nine at that time, which meant that he could only refine ninth-grade holy pills at most. He could not even refine tenth-grade holy pills. Right now, the Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls were precious secret alchemy technique scrolls left behind by an ancient great emperor. As long as he could cultivate it successfully, it would be equivalent to having all the alchemy techniques of that ancient great emperor. ¡°As expected of the thirty-three ancient great emperors, it¡¯s not simple at all. Although it¡¯s not as powerful as the first time I obtained the heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge of Thirty-three Heavens from a venerable sovereign, it¡¯s still not bad. After obtaining the alchemy technique of a great alchemy emperor, I¡¯ll be able to refine more pills with less effort and have a much easier time.¡± Qin Chen had been in this world for many years and had also stayed in Great Qin Dynasty for half a year. As time passed, he gradually understood how important an alchemist was to this world. It was an extremely noble profession. Even sixth-grade alchemists were already part of the immortal heritages, so people were really polite to them and respected them a lot. A seventh-grade alchemist could be called a pill king. There were not many of them in the world, and all the immortal heritages wanted to fight for them. Eighth-grade alchemists were known as pill venerables. They were even rarer than Bahuang Venerables, and their status was even higher than the Venerables. As for ninth-grade alchemists, they were called pill saints. They were so rare that even during the prosperous primordial era, there were not many pill saints. At the very least, in this era, Qin Chen had never heard of any other ninth-grade alchemists who were pill saints other than himself. The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls turned into a massive amount of information and entered Qin Chen¡¯s mind. It took him four hours to gradually accept this massive amount of information with his current level of the sage realm and his consciousness computing speed that was comparable to the supercomputers of the earth civilization. There was so much information contained within The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. After all, they were the legacy of an ancient great emperor, and it was about all the knowledge of alchemy. Of course, it was only acceptance, but it did not mean that Qin Chen had completely mastered Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. It was just like how he had mastered many emperor-grade techniques, even heavenly emperor-grade techniques, but he could not directly climb to the peak of the creation stage. He had to slowly digest it himself. Even so, after spending half a month to understand the scrolls, Qin Chen had made great progress in alchemy. Originally, with his own alchemy skills, he could only refine ninth-grade pills at most, and the success rate was less than 30%. But now, he had slowly digested some of Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. It was enough for him to refine tenth-grade pills, and his success rate could reach an astonishing 50%. Even in the primordial era, when the alchemy world was at its peak and there were a lot of alchemists, there were only a few of them who could refine a tenth-grade pill with a fifty percent success rate. This was also thanks to Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls, which was left behind by the Great Alchemy Emperor¡¯s lifetime of experience in alchemy. They could be said to be the number one secret scrolls in alchemy since ancient times. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Qin Chen to achieve such attainments. Of course, he could only refine pills of a higher level. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Qin Chen was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to refine an eleventh-level Supreme Sage pill. ¡°Since I¡¯ve been at a bottleneck recently, I¡¯ll make a few pills to improve my cultivation.¡± Qin Chen then got started. Over the years, he had obtained too many treasures, including some top-notch medicinal herbs. Under such circumstances, he took out a pitch-black medicinal cauldron that he had obtained from checking in. The side of the cauldron was inlaid with a statue of a dancing pitch-black Phoenix. Medicinal cauldrons, as the name suggested, were special cauldrons for alchemists to refine medicinal pills. They could greatly enhance the effects of the pill refinement. This cauldron was called Black Phoenix Cauldron and was rumored to be ranked 13th among the 36 cauldrons on the medicinal cauldron ranking. Its effects were much higher than ordinary cauldrons and during the primordial era, it was a treasure that countless alchemists crazily fought for. He took out Black Phoenix Cauldron and spat out a wisp of divine fire that was flowing with chaotic light into the cauldron. The Chaotic Divine Fire was an original Divine Fire that Qin Chen had refined after he reached Jiutian Sage. It contained the myriad characteristics of the sacred body of chaos and could assimilate all the daos in the world. The moment the Chaotic Divine Fire fell, Black Phoenix Cauldron was no longer as black as ink. It gradually turned red, and the black Phoenix on the cauldron wall gradually became colorful. It was like a real undying Phoenix that was about to spread its wings and fly. Qin Chen smoothly threw all the top-notch herbs that could be exchanged for tens of thousands of catties of spirit stones into the Black Phoenix Cauldron. At this time, with the help of the Chaotic Divine Fire, Qin Chen refined the precious herbs into liquid. Then, he began to slowly refine a level 10 Sage King pill named Sage breakthrough pill according to Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. The process was cumbersome, but to Qin Chen, it was very easy, as if he was born with it. After a day and night of refining, finally, under Qin Chen¡¯s superb alchemy skills, the pill began to slowly take shape. Finally, with a loud bang, a blazing light beam shot up into the sky from Black Phoenix Cauldron and hit the clouds above. Boom! As the pill took shape, its fragrance filled the air, and a vast, pitch-black tribulation cloud appeared in the sky. It was the tribulation cloud. This was because this pill was the legendary tenth-grade Sage King pill. The moment the pill took form, heaven and earth would send down a pill tribulation. Only after passing the pill tribulation could the pill be completely formed. If it couldn¡¯t overcome the pill tribulation, this Sage King pill would also be destroyed. The appearance of the pill tribulation naturally shocked everyone in Taiyi Holy Land. They looked in that direction in shock, but everyone there knew that it must be Elder King. Furthermore, the fragrance of the pill came. Elder King must be refining pills. BOOM! At this moment, Qin Chen soared into the sky and appeared above the pill tribulation. Around the brewing pill tribulation, terrifying tribulation lightning appeared one after another. There were tens of thousands of them, no less than an ordinary great tribulation of Holy path. However, after ten years of cultivation, Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation was no longer the same as before. Now that he saw the pill tribulation appearing in the sky, he snorted coldly and waved Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, directly bombarding the majestic tribulation clouds. With a loud boom, a huge hole was punched through the Tribulation clouds, showing his unparalleled cultivation. ¡°Oh my God, Elder King actually pierced a huge hole in the Tribulation cloud!¡± ¡°In this world, other than Elder King, how many people would dare to punch the Tribulation cloud!¡± ¡°Elder King is indeed unfathomable. He only reached Jiutian Sage ten years ago. Ten years later, he seems to have become even stronger!¡± ¡°As expected of a Jiutian Sage. Elder Wang is really strong. I wonder when we¡¯ll be able to catch him. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. Our goal shouldn¡¯t be too high. Let¡¯s reach Qiyao first. The realm of Elder King is too far for us!¡± Many elders and disciples were shocked to see Elder King punch through the Tribulation clouds. They could not help but be fascinated. However, when they thought of Elder King¡¯s realm, they could only look up to it. Jiutian was really powerful. Many talented people in the world had been trapped before Bahuang. Even the masters of the immortal heritages, the emperors of the immortal divine dynasty, the Holy Lords of ancient holy lands, and the family heads of ancient families had been trapped before Bahuang. They had been unable to break through and had been unable to move forward. It was Jiutian, which was above Bahuang. It was a heavenly barrier that could not be crossed. It was for this reason that all the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land worshipped Elder King. It was amazing that Elder King could reach Jiutian Sage in this ending age of the extinct Holy path. It was impossible for Qin Chen to know what these elders and disciples were thinking. He was focused on resisting the terrifying pill tribulations. Naturally, the Sage King pill was completely protected by him. Even if the pill tribulations were comparable to ordinary Holy path heavenly tribulations, which could not be broken through. After all, Qin Chen was not an ordinary Sage. He shattered the thick pill tribulations one after another before sending the essence of the Tribulation into the Sage King pill, causing the Sage King pill to gradually show a different kind of spirit. This was also a necessary process in refining pills above the ninth grade. It required the baptism of the pill tribulation to add a bit of spirituality to the pills above the ninth grade. Only then would they have better medicinal effects. Now, Qin Chen was doing that. However, he had skipped the process of refining the pill and dispersed the pill tribulation. The essence of the pill tribulation had directly refined the Sage King pill. This continued for half a day before the pill tribulation gradually disappeared. Qin Chen saw the Sage King pill, which had devoured enough of the pill tribulation¡¯s essence, flash with spiritual light. It was as if it had a mind of its own and was about to soar into the sky at an astonishing speed, like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it had crossed dozens of miles and escaped into the sky. Chapter 82 - The Space Race ¡°It¡¯s said that ninth-grade holy pills are sentient and have intelligence no less than ordinary cultivators. This is a tenth-grade Sage King pill, so its spirituality is even stronger and it¡¯s very fast. I¡¯m afraid even ordinary Sages would have a headache over it.¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself. However, how could he allow the tenth-grade Sage King pill that he had painstakingly refined to disappear just like that? He rushed into the sky and caught up with the Sage King pill that was trying to escape. He reached out and grabbed it. ¡°Don¡¯t catch me!¡± A struggling child¡¯s voice could be heard from the Sage King pill. The Sage King pill bloomed with light, like a small sun. Waves of vast Sage power blocked Qin Chen¡¯s palm. With such a method, even ordinary Sages wouldn¡¯t be able to catch it if they weren¡¯t careful. They would probably have to watch the tenth-grade Sage King pill fly away. However, Qin Chen was not an ordinary Sage. He broke through the Sage power with his palm and grabbed the Sage King pill. The Sage King pill struggled on its own, continuously releasing waves of terrifying power. This made Qin Chen exclaim in surprise. It was as if it was about to become a real living being, a Jiutian Sage. However, it was still not enough. His palm was so powerful that the Sage King pill could not break free from it. Qin Chen grabbed the Sage King pill and returned to his original spot, completely disappearing, leaving behind the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, who were full of admiration. After returning to his room, Qin Chen opened his palm, and the Sage King pill appeared. It continued to release Sage energy, trying to break free from the Chaotic Divine Power halo of Qin Chen. ¡°With this Sage breakthrough pill, I should be able to break through to level four.¡± The true name of this Sage King pill was the Sage breakthrough pill. As the name suggested, it could help one break through the Sage level and become a true Sage. Moreover, they were also divided into different grades according to their condition. The Sage breakthrough pill in front of him was a peerless Sage King pill, which was the highest grade. It could give great Venerables a more-than-80% chance of entering the Jiutian Sage realm, and naturally, it could also help Sages level up. Qin Chen directly swallowed the Sage breakthrough pill, which was refined with a large number of top-tier herbs. When it entered his body, the Sage breakthrough pill immediately turned into an unusually majestic medicinal power. It was enough to make even great Venerables explode from the medicinal power. However, although the medicinal power was extremely powerful, Qin Chen was able to withstand it and circulate it to his limbs and bones. It immediately turned into pure Chaotic Divine Power and returned to his dantian divine sea. In an instant, his aura rose steadily, surpassing what it was before at every moment. After a while, Qin Chen, who was already on the verge of breaking through, had completely stepped into level four. This was level four of Jiutian. This was Qin Chen¡¯s current realm. In the past ten years, he had only broken through two levels from level one to level three of Jiutian. Now, he had just broken through to level four with the help of the tenth-grade peerless Sage King pill, the Sage breakthrough pill. It seemed that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot, far from what it was before. But there was one thing to know. The later the cultivation realm, the slower the cultivation speed, and the gap between each level was similarly larger. Many outstanding cultivators had broken through the Bahuang shackles and become a true Bahuang Venerable. For example, Withered Leaf Venerable had been a Venerable for more than 2000 years, but he was only at level six. On average, it would take three to four hundred years for people to advance by one level. It could not be said that the cultivation speed was very slow. It could only be said that the later the stage, the more accumulation needed, and the longer the cultivation time, which could be hundreds of years. For example, Qin Chen had advanced two levels in ten years. Now, he had advanced three levels and entered level four of Jiutian. If this news spread, it would definitely scare a large group of people and make them feel that he was terrifying. Qin Chen mumbled to himself, ¡°it¡¯s been ten years, and I¡¯ve finally reached the fourth heaven. With my combat strength, I should be able to fight the top Sages of level eight or even level nine.¡± Although he had a Chaotic Holy Body, became a Sage and was really powerful, he couldn¡¯t forget that those who could become Sages were not mediocre. It was impossible for them to fight an enemy who was one realm higher than them when they were still at a low realm. It felt a little unrealistic. After all, there was a huge gap between a Sage and a Sage King. Moreover, he was only at level four of the Sage realm, which was barely at the intermediate level of the Sage realm. There was still a huge gap between him and the Sage King realm. However, Qin Chen was quite confident that he would be able to cross four to five levels. In this era where the world was gradually recovering, he was also able to protect himself. Southern Desolate Lands were vast, with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. Naturally, it was divided into four regions, North, South, East, and West. Taiyi Holy Land, several immortal holy lands, and ancient families were all located in the North Region. On this day, in the North Region, near the border between Central Province and Southern Desolate Lands, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted. It was as if thousands of volcanoes had erupted at the same time. The earth trembled, and everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was shaking. Within a radius of a million miles, countless forces, led by Taiyi Holy Land, Southern Palace, and many other immortal heritages, all looked in that direction at the same time. They saw a shocking explosion soaring into the sky and creating invisible ripples that affected the surrounding area. Even the people of Taiyi Holy Land, which was a million miles away, could clearly hear the vast fluctuations. ¡°What happened?¡± In Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan and Ling ran, the two Holy Lords, rushed into the sky. The supreme elders did the same. The other disciples also rose into the sky and looked in that direction from afar. Naturally, only the Holy Lords and the supreme elders knew what was happening. The other elders and disciples were unable to see what was happening. The expressions of Ling ran, Lu Xuan, and all the supreme elders changed because they saw a terrifying fluctuation spreading out. Vaguely, there seemed to be Sagely might blooming. Not long after, they received a shocking piece of news. The space race had appeared! The space race was one of the 100 strongest races in the ten thousand ancient races. This race was far stronger than the declining pegasus race. It was one of the top 100 strongest races in the ten thousand ancient races. It was rumored that there was more than one sage realm. There were three or four of them, and they had already been born. The space race had appeared in Southern Desolate Lands. The moment they appeared, they demanded in a domineering manner that the area within a million miles would be under the space race¡¯s jurisdiction. All humans should get out of their territory immediately and were not allowed to enter. There was no doubt that this news caused a huge commotion in the world. The space race was undoubtedly an extremely powerful ancient race with several powerful Ancient Sages. Even immortal heritages had to avoid them. However, no one but the four immortal divine dynasties would dare to occupy a million miles of land in the world today. More importantly, there were several immortal heritages such as Taiyi Holy Land within a million miles, and they all occupied excellent areas. Taiyi Holy Land had declined, and ancestral vessels had left, but the other immortal heritages continued to prosper. The ancestral vessels were still there, and there were many spirit vessels converging. Furthermore, a large number of arrays and corresponding reserves were left here. How could they leave? Even if the space race had several ancient sages, it was still the same. Chapter 83 - The Negotiation It was now in Taiyi Holy Land. Ling Ran immediately called the highest-level meeting and ordered all the supreme elders to attend the meeting. Even the distinguished figures of Demon Valley, including Lord Dragon and the Black Flood Dragon King, were invited. After all, they were now considered an alliance of Taiyi Holy Land. It was a pity that Elder King did not accept the invitation. It was said that Elder King had refined a kind of potent pill not long ago, and he was now in seclusion. This made Ling Ran feel quite disappointed. This matter was related to whether Taiyi Holy Land could continue to stay where it was. If Elder King was here, Taiyi Holy Land would be a much safer place. It was now at Taiyi Main Hall. The highest-level meeting of Taiyi Holy Land was ongoing. Ling Ran, who was sitting on the main seat, told them about the news that space race had appeared and that they had brought humans to the world. The entire hall immediately fell silent. Legend said that space race was one of the top races among the ten thousand ancient races, ranked among the top hundred. It was said that they had several Ancient Sages and were even more powerful than the sage-level demon king. Even Taiyi Holy Land, which was currently regaining its glory, had to be wary of them. Ling Ran¡¯s sharp eyes swept over the supreme elders present. She said, ¡°What do you all think?¡± The Holy Lord, Lu Xuan, was sitting on the seat of honor on the left. He had to come out of his seclusion since it concerned the major affairs of Taiyi Holy Land. He frowned and said, ¡°We found a home in Taiyi Holy Land through the relentless efforts of our ancestors. They left it to us. We can¡¯t leave it unless we have no other choice.¡± They all had deep feelings for Taiyi Holy Land. They had lived there for many years, and there were many arrays arranged by the sages to guard Taiyi Holy Land. Once they left, it meant that they would lose all the arrays, which would be a great danger to Taiyi Holy Land. Moreover, there were many places where the ancient experts had once set foot, such as the great Emperor¡¯s palace and Demon Sealing Land. It was the place chosen by the sages to establish their holy land. They were very unusual, so they naturally could not leave easily. Naturally, the supreme elder also felt the same way. Taiyi Holy Land was their home. They could not leave so easily even if the other party was a powerful ancient race. ¡°Space race is a powerful ancient race after all,¡± a supreme elder said. ¡°They were saying that we mustn¡¯t leave without doing anything. In my opinion, why don¡¯t we make a trip to space race and negotiate with them?¡± Another supreme elder frowned and said, ¡°Will space race allow us to get close?¡± I heard that during the ancient era, space race was hostile to human race and even saw them as food.¡± Many of the supreme elders were worried, thinking that this would be a difficult task. Ling Ran said in a deep voice, ¡°The space race may be very powerful, but don¡¯t forget that Taiyi Holy Land has an immortal inheritance and a saint-level inheritance. I believe even space race will show us some respect. They will allow us to continue to settle here.¡± ¡°Besides, Taiyi Holy Land isn¡¯t the only one involved. Within the one million miles radius that space race had requested, there were still Southern Palace, Northern Castle, and Ice Palace, among many other undying inheritances. They would definitely not be willing to move. When the time comes, we just need to discuss with the other immortal inheritances and head to space race together to negotiate. I believe we will achieve a consensus with space race.¡± The people present nodded in agreement after hearing Ling Ran¡¯s words. This new Holy Lord, who had just taken over the position not long ago, was not bad. She knew that she would team up with the other immortal inheritances to put pressure on space race. With so many immortal inheritances going together, even a powerful ancient race like space race would be under a lot of pressure. ¡°What a pity.¡± Lu Xuan sighed softly. ¡°If Elder King had come in person, I believe that space race would have to show some respect to Elder King, no matter how powerful they are.¡± The others sighed as well. After all, Elder King was a peerless sage who had killed two great ancient saints. If he were to appear, his history would be enough to intimidate space race. After all, not many sage had ever killed a saint. Before the meeting ended, Dragon Lord said, ¡°Ling, be careful. Space race is indeed very strong. Back then, they were ranked thirty-eighth among the top ten thousand ancient races. However, at the end of the ancient era, space race could be considered to have declined a little. They should be ranked around the eightieth I suppose.¡± The experts of Taiyi Holy Land inhaled a cold breath. ¡°Were the ten thousand ancient races so impressive? Space race, which was only ranked eightieth, actually had several Ancient Sages. What if it was the top twenty or even the strongest race?¡± they thought in horror. The mere thought of it defied their imagination. Ling Ran immediately said, ¡°Thank you for your concern, lord. I won¡¯t disappoint you.¡± Not long after, Taiyi Holy Land, led by Holy Lord Ling Ran, left with several supreme elders and headed for space race. At the same time, Southern Palace, Northern Castle, Ice Palace, and other undying inheritances also sent important figures to space race to negotiate. They also did not want to leave this place. The important figures of the undying inheritances gathered together. One day later, Ling Ran and the others returned to Taiyi Holy Land. Although they did not say anything, anyone could tell from their gloomy faces that the negotiation had failed. Soon, news spread that space race did not allow any power to exist within a million miles even if it was an undying inheritance. Furthermore, space race had given the order that if they did not move out within a month, space race would send their race¡¯s experts to drive them out. The few immortal inheritances were naturally unwilling to agree, but space race¡¯s attitude was very domineering. If they did not move, they would start a war. There were even many Venerables from the ancient race who appeared, shocking everyone. This put a lot of pressure on the few immortal inheritances. There was no doubt about the strength of space race. There were many Bahuang Venerables below sage realm, let alone several ancient saints. That day, they had seen a total of ten Bahuang Venerables in space race. They found the foundation of such a powerful ancient race terrifying. ¡°Damn it, space race is too strong. The foundation of such a powerful ancient race is even more terrifying than our undying inheritances,¡± a supreme elder who had just returned said hatefully. Currently, the various immortal inheritances did not disclose any Bahuang Venerables to the outside world. For example, Great Qin Dynasty only disclosed two Venerables, who were the Royal Elders. However, space race had a total of ten Bahuang Venerables. That meant they had a powerful foundation, which was enough to intimidate all the forces in the world. Furthermore, there were several ancient saints present, who were powerful enough to destroy the immortal inheritance. Another supreme elder also sighed. ¡°Space race is basically the gathering of all the top experts of Taiyi Holy Land since ancient times. Even the ten Venerables are enough to raze Taiyi Holy Land to the ground, let alone a few Ancient Sages.¡± Although Taiyi Holy Land had Elder King, who was a Jiutian Sage, they had no advantage against space race. Once the battle started, they would only die. After all, no one in Taiyi Holy Land believed that Elder King could fight against so many ancient Saints from space race. Ling Ran sighed and said, ¡°In that case, get ready to move, folks.¡± Although he was reluctant, he had no choice. Just as Taiyi Holy Land was about to move, a group of experts came above Taiyi Holy Land and looked down at it. They were the experts from space race. Chapter 84 - Desolate Pagoda It was now at the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Qin Chen, who had successfully advanced to the fourth heaven of the sage realm, didn¡¯t know about space race¡¯s rise. They asked all the humans within a million miles to move away, including Taiyi Holy Land because he had come here to cultivate after his advancement. However, his main purpose was to check in. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t get any supreme treasure like Thirty-three Heavens or the Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. The most he got was a 100000-year-old divine pill or a Divine Spirit Source. Such a treasure was currently dispensable to Qin Chen. However, he was not too disappointed. No matter how powerful the divinity was, it was impossible for him to obtain a supreme treasure every time. Generally, only the first time he checked in would he get the best reward. At this moment, Qin Chen was walking around the 33 thousand-foot steles. Each stele was more than 10,000 feet tall, like a divine mountain. They formed a ring, and an incomprehensible ancient formation was set up below them. In the past ten years, Qin Chen had stepped into this place many times. He wanted to know why the thirty-three Emperor-level figures had left the steles here. Unfortunately, even with his saint-realm cultivation, he couldn¡¯t understand it because it involved the supreme realm of a great emperor. However, Qin Chen realized that cultivating here was much easier. With the divine monument left behind by Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, it resonated with Chaotic Imperial Sutra and Chaotic Holy Body, making his cultivation process much smoother. With the divine monument left behind by Qin Shihuang, he cultivated Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint and Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, and his understanding of them deepened. With the divine monument left by the Venerables, it was easier for him to cultivate Thirty-three Heavens. In the past ten years, he had cultivated many of his monarch-level supernormal knowledge to the intermediate stage. Even two of his heavenly Emperor-level supernormal knowledge had reached the initial stage. His power had increased greatly, all thanks to his cultivation in great Emperor¡¯s palace. Occasionally, Qin Chen would also observe great Emperor¡¯s palace. He looked at the dense battle marks that covered the entire central palace, which contained the traces of the supreme experts of the past and lingered for a long time. These had a certain help to his cultivation. Suddenly, Qin Chen found something special in a deep sword mark in the palace. It was embedded in the hard wall and could not be discovered without careful observation. It wasn¡¯t difficult for him to take it out. He found that it was an ancient stone pagoda the size of a palm. It had nine floors, but the strange thing was that it didn¡¯t have a top. It was clearly missing a few floors. ¡°Wait, the battle scars left behind on the central palace are basically left behind by the supreme experts of the past. They might even be left behind by ancient emperors. This stone pagoda was clearly hit, but it didn¡¯t shatter. It shouldn¡¯t be an ordinary item. It might be a peerless divine weapon from the ancient era,¡± Qin Chen stroked his chin and muttered to himself while looking at the stone pagoda. He tried to attack the stone pagoda. Although he didn¡¯t use much power, it was enough to destroy a mountain thousands of feet high with a flick of his finger, but the stone pagoda was unharmed. As Qin Chen increased his strength over and over again, he finally realized that he could not damage the stone pagoda even after using his full strength. At this time, Qin Chen finally understood that he had really stumbled upon a treasure. He thought perhaps it was an extreme emperor weapon that one of the 33 ancient emperors had obtained. However, these kinds of weapons were unparalleled, and they contained extreme Emperor might. To break an extreme emperor weapon, one would need to be at least a great emperor. ¡°Could it be that a battle between emperors once took place here?¡± he thought. ¡°System, What is this?¡± Qin Chen immediately let the system inspect it. The system could even know that Desolate Divine Halberd was quasi-emperor Taihuang¡¯s weapon, so he assumed it should be able to examine the stone pagoda. ¡°Desolate Pagoda, one of the 13 primordial ancient weapons of heaven burial era.¡± Not long after, the system¡¯s warning tone appeared, giving an extremely simple explanation. There was no other explanation. ¡°Desolate Pagoda?¡± ¡°The primordial ancient weapon?¡± he thought aloud. Qin Chen raised his brows. He was unfamiliar with these two names. He was also unfamiliar with heaven burial era because he knew that the most ancient era in this world was mythological era. After mythological era, it was primordial era, ancient era, mid-ancient age, and later-ancient era. Heaven burial era was no longer recorded in the current Qing history, so he thought it might precede mythological era. As for the primordial ancient weapon, he was even less sure. However, the special primordial ancient weapon from heaven burial era, which was suspected to precede mythological era, was most likely not simple. Qin Chen checked with the system, but the system did not respond. Thus, Qin Chen tried to inject his Chaotic Divine Power into it to activate the mysterious Desolate Pagoda. With the infusion of Chaotic Divine Power, Desolate Pagoda still didn¡¯t show any signs of recovery. It was still very silent. ¡°I can¡¯t destroy it, and I can¡¯t activate it. What is the origin of this mysterious Desolate Pagoda?¡± Qin Chen was puzzled. He had a feeling that this mysterious Desolate Pagoda should have a special connection with the thirty-three ancient emperors¡¯ leaving their steles here. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll check it out next time. It¡¯s time to go now,¡± he said. There weren¡¯t many experts from space race, only a dozen or so. However, each and every one of them had a terrifying aura. The three people in the lead were all Bahuang Venerables, while the others were Qiyao Kings. Their lineup was rather terrifying. No force in the world had such a lineup of top experts. As the Holy Lord, Ling Ran was naturally alarmed. She rushed into the sky and looked at the approaching experts from space race with slightly furrowed brows. When he saw the young Venerable in the lead, her heart sank slightly. She went forward and said, ¡°What brings the esteemed guests of space race here?¡± Although she didn¡¯t like the fact that space race had forcefully driven Taiyi Holy Land away from this area and had come uninvited, she was still rather wary of space race and had to treat them with respect. The arrival of three Venerable and a dozen Kings was enough to make Taiyi Holy Land treat them seriously. The Venerable of space race was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was born with horns and wore a Dark Iron battle suit. Rays of black light circulated on his body. His devilish eyes stared at Ling Ran and revealed an evil expression as he nodded to himself. He found this female human cultivator extremely beautiful and rare even among the ten thousand ancient races. Furthermore, she was so young, yet her cultivation had already reached Qiyao. She also had the legendary Zixia Body. With all these traits combined, he found she was somewhat qualified to be his wife. After staring at her for a while, the young Venerable from space race smiled and said, ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran, I¡¯ve come here for you. I want you to become my woman.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Ling Ran arrogantly with some confidence. In the end, he did not think that Ling Ran would reject him. This was because he was a leader of space race and one of the Venerables of space race. He was also known as the young master of the race. Although he had cultivated for more than 1000 years, he was not considered old in the cultivation world at such an age. Moreover, he had become a Bahuang Venerable and could live up to 4000 to 5000 years. A Venerable at such an age was definitely young. In the primordial era, he was called a hero and had the potential to become a Jiutian Sage. As a young master of space race who had the potential to become a Jiutian Sage. His identity, status, and cultivation were all top-notch. In the ancient era, there would have been countless female prodigies who wanted to pursue him. Thus, he did not think that Ling Ran would have a reason to reject him. Upon hearing this, the expression on Ling Ran¡¯s beautiful face turned a little cold. She refused him bluntly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, young Venerable. I¡¯ve always been interested in cultivation, so I¡¯m not fond of the relationship between men and women. Please forgive me.¡± Chapter 85 - Intimidation and Temptation ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a mere human King. How dare you reject the young Venerable?¡± The few experts from space race behind him were immediately enraged. They shouted at Ling Ran and berated her for not knowing her place. In their opinion, it was a great honor for Ling Ran to be liked by the young Venerable. They believed she should kneel down and be grateful. These words undoubtedly made all the elders and disciples of Taiyi Holy Land very angry. Ling Ran was not only the Holy Lord of Taiyi Holy Land but also a goddess in the eyes of many disciples. They could never allow others to profane such a noble goddess. However, they didn¡¯t dare to voice their anger because these people were experts in space race. None of them were ordinary. There were three Venerables and more than a dozen kings. Even the four immortal divine dynasties would be wary of such a lineup. If they were angered, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed. The young Venerable was not angry at Ling Ran¡¯s refusal. On the contrary, he was very happy. He was even more interested in conquering Ling Ran. Only by conquering such a strong woman would he truly be delighted. ¡°Good, you have a strong personality!¡± Clapping his hands, the young Venerable smiled and said, ¡°I like your style, but you don¡¯t have to be in a hurry to reject me. You might not know who I am, but I can tell you that I am the future leader of space race. My sire is the current leader. After he abdicates, I will be in charge of space race.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re willing to become my woman, I can speak to my sire so he won¡¯t drive you out. What do you think?¡± It was true that Ling Ran did not want to leave Taiyi Holy Land, but it was not in her nature to do such a thing in exchange for the favor of her race. Lu Xuan arrived before Ling Ran could say anything. He cupped his fists at the young Venerable and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, young Venerable.¡± The underlying meaning of his words was rejection. Ling Ran was the new Holy Lord that Taiyi Holy Land had thought highly of. She also had a Zixia Body, so she had a promising future ahead of her. Moreover, she was his disciple, so he naturally didn¡¯t want to watch his disciple succumb to space race¡¯s power for the sake of Taiyi Holy Land. Hearing this, the young Venerable¡¯s handsome face immediately darkened and he said coldly, ¡°You had your chance. Let me tell you this. There¡¯s no woman in this world that I can¡¯t have. Ling Ran, I like you very much, and I¡¯ve come here today especially for you. You know I won¡¯t take no for an answer.¡± In fact, he was telling the truth. Taiyi Holy Land meant nothing to him. If anyone dared to disobey him, he wouldn¡¯t mind just razing it to the ground. Ling Ran¡¯s expression was gloomy, and Lu Xuan¡¯s expression darkened as well. He said, ¡°young Venerable, although space race is very strong, Taiyi Holy Land isn¡¯t an ordinary faction either. If you want to settle this the hard way, I¡¯m afraid you will have your share of the dues to pay.¡± A senior Venerable from space race sneered, ¡°Taiyi Holy Land? However, it had been in decline for a long time. It was said that there was still a Venerable called Elder King. However, how can a mere Venerable be a match for us?¡± Another Venerable from space race said coldly, ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran, you¡¯d better agree to young Venerable¡¯s request. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame space race for being merciless and killing the only Venerable you have. Furthermore, it¡¯s not a problem for you to turn to the so-called heritage of the Holy Lands. I believe that the so-called heritage of the Holy Lands is at most an Ancient Sage who has not much time left in his life. How much power can they exert in sage realm? How many Ancient Sages can they seal? However, once you do, our ancient saints will also take action.¡± ¡°Unlike your so-called Ancient Sages, our race has sufficient blood energy. It won¡¯t be a problem for us to kill those so-called Ancient Sages!¡± These experts from space race were intimidating and enticing Ling Ran. They were not afraid of Taiyi Holy Land because they had enough confidence. They believed that even if there were still Ancient Sages in Taiyi Holy Land, they would not have much time left. Otherwise, Taiyi Holy Land would not have declined so much over the years. Even if they did, they would be able to turn to their own Ancient Sages. A distance of a million miles was not a problem for those Ancient Sages at all. Ancient Sages could traverse the heavens and earth in a split second. They could go to any corner of the universe. Both Ling Ran and Lu Xuan¡¯s hearts sank. Space race knew all too well about Taiyi Holy Land. They knew very well about what Taiyi Holy Land was like ten years ago. However, they were not aware of the fact that Elder King had already become a Jiutian Sage and had even killed two Ancient Sages. In the face of the threat and temptation of space race, Ling Ran gritted her teeth. She naturally did not want to agree and become young Venerable¡¯s woman. Her heart yearned for Great Path, and the only person who held a place in her heart was the mysterious person who had given her Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra. It was definitely not young Venerable. However, if she refused, Taiyi Holy Land would probably be ravaged by space race experts. She didn¡¯t know what to do at one point. At that moment, a burly figure appeared and came to Ling Ran and Lu Xuan¡¯s side. It was Lord Dragon. He took a look at young Venerable and said, ¡°She can¡¯t be your woman. I¡¯ll tell you this, leave. Also, you might want to stay away from Taiyi Holy Land. They won¡¯t settle anywhere else.¡± Ling Ran and Lu Xuan looked at Dragon Lord in surprise. The experts from space race looked at Dragon Lord. They could not sense Dragon Lord¡¯s true cultivation prowess. They could only vaguely sense that he was also a Bahuang Venerable. ¡°You¡¯re Elder King?¡± The young Venerable raised an eyebrow. ¡°You¡¯re nothing more than an Elder King, ¡± a King of space race shouted. ¡°How dare you be so disrespectable to our young Venerable? Why don¡¯t you kneel down and slap yourself? Perhaps his highness will be kind enough to let you go.¡± The young Venerable didn¡¯t stop him. The other two Venerables from space race didn¡¯t say anything either. Instead, they looked coldly at Dragon Lord. Dragon Lord threw a glance at the king of space race. With a boom, the king seemed to have been struck by lightning. He screamed in pain, and his face turned pale as he fell from the sky. ¡°How dare you!¡± the other king of space race shouted. Although he had seen Dragon Lord¡¯s ability, he was not afraid. That was because the young Venerable and the other Venerables of the race were present. The young Venerable looked at Dragon Lord coldly and said in a cold voice, ¡°Can¡¯t believe you had the temerity to attack my man in front of me. As I see it, you really don¡¯t care if your home gets destroyed!¡± Everyone in Taiyi Holy Land was shocked. ¡°What makes you think you can talk to me like that?¡± Dragon Lord said coldly. Not only did he release the terrifying aura of a Venerable, but a terrifying giant dragon¡¯s phantom that was tens of thousands of feet long also appeared behind him. It lingered in the sky and looked down on the experts of space race from above, releasing a terrifying dragon¡¯s might. Seeing this, the expressions of the experts from space race changed. ¡°Dragon race!¡± Chapter 86 - Qin Chen Makes His Move ¡°You¡¯re a dragon race!¡± The young Venerable¡¯s expression changed as well. It could not be explained. The space race was one of the 100 strongest races of the ten thousand ancient races, and they had once been ranked 38th and had once been excessively powerful. However, it could never be compared to the primordial dragon race in the primordial era. This was because the dragon race was the number one race at its peak. At other times, it had never fallen out of the top five. This was not something the space race could compare to. Therefore, when Lord Dragon revealed his true identity, the expressions of the experts from the space race changed. They could offend people from Taiyi Holy Land without any restraint or fear. And they were not afraid of offending the immortal divine dynasty who had the inheritance of great emperors. This was because the ten thousand ancient races had never placed humans in their eyes, even if humans had given birth to many ancient emperors and were the rulers of the world. However, the space race did not dare to look down on the dragon race. Lord Dragon stared coldly at the experts from the space race and said, ¡°Well, not bad. A mere space race dares to make me kneel and apologize. It seems that after the primordial era, the space race no longer holds the dragon race in any regard.¡± The young Venerable of the space race quickly said, ¡°Please forgive us, Dragon Venerable. We failed to recognize you and offended the dignity of the dragon race. Please forgive us.¡± As he spoke, the young Venerable glanced at the king and immediately made a move. His hand stretched out and turned into a huge hand that covered the sky, grabbing the man. ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me, young Venerable!¡± The king from the space race cried out in fear and begged for mercy, but the young Venerable¡¯s expression was cold. With a clench of his hand, a Qiyao King was killed. The young Venerable then looked at Lord Dragon with a gentle expression and said, ¡°Your Excellency, I¡¯ve killed the person who offended you. Please forgive me.¡± At this time, he became much more respectful in his speech. Seeing this scene, Lord Dragon could not say anything more and just nodded. The young Venerable of the space race looked at Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and then at Lord Dragon. He could not help but say, ¡°May I ask what is your relationship with the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± ¡°An Alliance,¡± Lord Dragon replied. Hearing this, the young Venerable¡¯s expression froze. He then said to Ling Ran, ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault.¡± He was very tactful. He knew that with the protection of the Dragon Venerable, he couldn¡¯t offend the dragon race for a mere Ling Ran. That would definitely be an act of courting death. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Then the young Venerable turned around and had the other experts of the space race follow him. ¡°Wait a minute, young Venerable. There¡¯s no need to relocate the Taiyi Holy Land, right?¡± Ling Ran suddenly said. The young Venerable stopped in his tracks. Then he shook his head at Ling Ran and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Holy Lord Ling Ran. I lied to you just now. The ancient Sages of our race won¡¯t allow any forces to exist within a million miles. I can¡¯t stop this unless the Taiyi Holy Land is willing to become our vassal.¡± Ling Ran¡¯s expression turned ugly. ¡°Does the space race really have to go this far?¡± Lord Dragon asked with a frown. The young Venerable shook his head. ¡°Your Excellency, I¡¯m not lying. It¡¯s already good enough that our race only occupies a million miles now. Not long after, if other ancient races were to appear, they would definitely occupy even more land. I believe that even if the ancient Sages of the dragon race were to find out about this, they would not say that our race is in the wrong. Please forgive us.¡± The people from the Taiyi Holy Land had ugly expressions. They had thought that they could make the space race retract their orders by using Lord Dragon¡¯s identity as a member of the dragon race, but it seemed that the dragon race wouldn¡¯t be able to do so either. The space race occupied a million miles and was determined to obtain it. 2 In the end, the true reason was that the decision was made by the ancient Sages of the space race. There was no other possibility unless the Taiyi Holy Land was under the protection of the dragon race. However, the ancient Sages of the dragon race would not offer their protection to the Taiyi Holy Land. The young Venerable of the space race led a group of experts to leave in a hurry. The more he thought about today¡¯s matter, the more unhappy he was. He was a Venerable, the young Venerable of the space race, yet he had lost face in front of the woman he liked. However, the other party was a Dragon Venerable. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could do nothing. Suddenly, the young Venerable saw a green-robed servant sweeping the floor on a mountain peak in the Taiyi Holy Land. The servant was walking past with a broom, but he didn¡¯t pay his respects when he saw them. The young Venerable¡¯s face darkened. He slapped the man in the air, trying to vent his anger. Even a Dragon Venerable wouldn¡¯t be angry at him for killing a servant. On the mountain peak, Qin Chen, who had just come out of the great Emperor¡¯s palace, inexplicably ran into the young Venerable and the others of the space race. At that time, he was rather curious about who these people were. After all, he had been in the great Emperor¡¯s palace for the past few days and had only come out today. He didn¡¯t know about the space race¡¯s appearance. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the young Venerable of the space race would attack a servant like him before leaving. At this moment, Ling Ran¡¯s expression changed. She was about to stop it, but it was too late. Boom! The mountain collapsed. Dust flew everywhere! After doing all this, the young Venerable vented a little of his anger and led the experts of the space race away. However, at this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire area. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Sagely might!¡± The expressions of the experts from the space race changed drastically. There were ancient Sages in their race, so they were all very familiar with this aura. This was the Sagely might. However, how could there be a Sage in the Taiyi Holy Land? Even an ancient Sage with sealed reserves should not have appeared at this time. What had happened? On the collapsed mountain peak, a figure surrounded by a clear light soared into the sky from the dust. He landed in the void and coldly swept his gaze over the experts of the space race, revealing a rare killing intent. He had been very low profile. Over the years, he had killed two ancient Sages in a row, but he had not spread the news to the world. This was because he did not want to be targeted by the other ancient Sages of the powerful primordial races. However, the young Venerable of the space race wanted to attack him before leaving. Did the young Venerable really think that he was a coward? Even a worm would turn, not to mention him, a Chaotic Sage who had killed two ancient Sages. Qin Chen stared coldly at the experts from the space race. His powerful Sagely might enveloped the entire area, directly imprisoning them. Even the three Bahuang Venerables, including the young Venerable, were unable to break free from the void. They were completely locked in this void. The other Qiyao Kings were unable to move. ¡°So you¡¯re members of the space race that appeared not long ago, and one of you is the young Venerable. You¡¯ve come to the Taiyi Holy Land to force Holy Lord Ling Ran to marry you, but you¡¯ve failed. Then you even dared to attack the disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land before you left. Do you really think the Taiyi Holy Land is so easy to bully?¡± Qin Chen said coldly. Lord Dragon had already informed Qin Chen of the relevant information through voice transmission when he appeared, so Qin Chen knew the identity of these people. ¡°Since you dare to attack recklessly, you should be prepared to pay the price for your reckless attack.¡± He turned his palm over at the group of people. In an instant, a huge handprint appeared in the sky. It gathered countless laws and pressed down fiercely, shattering the void gradually. Chapter 87 - No One Can Stand ¡°Sir, please stop!¡± The young Venerable and the others paled. The attack of an ancient Sage was terrifying. Even if he used just a hand, they would feel the threat of being crushed into pieces. However, the large handprint did not stop and continued to fall. The young Venerable was shocked and shouted in a hurry, ¡°Sir, if you hurt us, the ancient Sages of our race won¡¯t sit by and do nothing. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to stop so many ancient Sages.¡± The large handprint stopped a few feet above their heads after Qin Chen heard this. However, the strong Sagely might still put them under great pressure. It was as if countless mountains were pressing on them, and their bodies and souls were about to explode. But they also heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, the Sage of the Taiyi Holy Land was stunned. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s our fault today. Please forgive us. We won¡¯t offend you again,¡± the young Venerable took the opportunity to say. ¡°There¡¯s a next time?¡± ¡°I heard that the space race wants to drive the Taiyi Holy Land out of this area,¡± a cold voice said. ¡°Not long ago, you even tried to force the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Holy Lord to marry you. I was in seclusion and didn¡¯t know what had happened. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so outrageous as to attack our Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s people.¡± ¡°Well, you have a lot of guts!¡± ¡°Do you really think there¡¯s no one in the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± ¡°Ten years ago, I killed the ancient Sage of the pegasus race on my way back. I also killed the Sage-level Demon King who destroyed the Taiyi Holy Land. Now I feel that the world doesn¡¯t know my strength and that most people don¡¯t think much of me. Today, I¡¯ll personally make a trip to the space race and see if they¡¯re the number one in the world and dare to look down on the Holy Land of humans.¡± It was just a few words, but every sentence caused the expressions of the experts from the space race to change. The last sentence, in particular, shocked them even more. They thought, ¡°He had killed an ancient Sage of the pegasus race and a Sage-level Demon King?¡± What an amazing feat it was to kill two ancient Sages in a row. Even in the prosperous primordial era, there were not many ancient Sages who could kill Sages. It was even more unbelievable in this Dharma-Ending Age when the world was gradually recovering. There was such a Sage who could kill a Sage in the declining Taiyi Holy Land. Boom! At this moment, the large handprint landed. With a series of loud bangs, apart from the three Venerables, the remaining dozen or so Qiyao Kings were all killed and turned into a bloody mist. At the same time, a majestic clear glow was shaken from the bodies of the three Venerables of the space race. They felt in shock that their cultivation prowess was rapidly falling. And in a short time, their cultivation prowess had fallen from Bahuang to Qiyao. Moreover, the process of their cultivation prowess plummeting was still ongoing. Level nine of the Qiyao Realm, level eight, level seven¡­ then level three¡­ Not long after, it dropped to Qiyao, Liuhe, Wuxing, and Sixiang¡­ In the end, the three Venerables from the space race fell from the Bahuang Realm to the Sancai Realm. Their venerable cultivation prowess, which had taken them more than a thousand years of hard work, had all disappeared. ¡°No!¡± The three of them were in despair. They would instead be killed than lose their Bahuang Realm cultivation prowess and fall to the Sancai Realm. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Show me what right the space race has to ignore humans.¡± Qin Chen flicked his sleeves and swept up the three of them, then soared into the sky. ¡°Lord Chen!¡± Lord Dragon shouted and wanted to catch up, but Qin Chen ignored him. He was extremely fast and rushed toward the direction of the space race. The space race was located between the Southern Desolate Lands and the Central Province. There was a stretch of dark and barren mountains there. Each of them was thousands of feet tall and reached into the clouds. They were filled with a deathly aura and were Forbidden Lands. Now, with the appearance of the space race, those high mountains seemed even more terrifying. There was a vague astonishing aura permeating the air, making outsiders more afraid to approach. Qin Chen brought the young Venerable and the other two from the space race to this desolate area. It was very similar to the Death Valley occupied by the pegasus race, but it was more vast and terrifying. In front of the mountain, a few Qiyao Kings were sitting cross-legged, exuding a powerful aura that deterred humans and the demon race from entering. At this moment, Qin Chen arrived. His body was surrounded by light as he said coldly to the young Venerable of the space race, ¡°Where is your ancestral land? Take me there.¡± Although the young Venerable of the space race was extremely angry because of the drop in his cultivation prowess and wanted to kill Qin Chen, he knew that he could not do so. He could only kill Qin Chen with the help of the ancient Sages in the race. Therefore, he did not refuse and pointed in a direction. ¡°The core of our race is there.¡± Qin Chen glanced at him and said, ¡°It seems like you really want to kill me with the help of your ancient Sages. However, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to disappoint you. I¡¯ve come to exterminate the space race.¡± After saying this, he sealed the young Venerable and began to walk around this barren land. With every step he took, a rune would fall and silently sink into the ground. Soon, Qin Chen walked around the ancestral land of the space race. Countless runes fell. They were all chaotic sacred runes that he had condensed after reaching the Jiutian Realm. Now, tens of thousands of chaotic sacred runes fell and sneaked into the depths of this barren land, building a large array silently. Of course, when Qin Chen had checked in in the past, he had naturally also checked in for rewards related to arrays. Arrays corresponded to one¡¯s cultivation realm. Now, the array that Qin Chen had set up was a tenth-grade Sage King level array, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation. This Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation were designed to deal with Sages. At a certain level, it was enough to kill Sage Kings and even threaten Supreme Sages. Of course, Qin Chen would not stupidly barge in. To be able to become the slumbering ancestral land of a powerful ancient race, this mountain range was definitely not simple. He planned to use this tenth-grade Sage King array to deal with it if he could not handle the situation. After successfully setting up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation, Qin Chen set up two Sage King level formations in the outside world, one after the other. After ensuring that everything was in place, he finally entered the ancestral land of the space race. ¡°Who is it?¡± The Qiyao Kings of the space race were alarmed. They immediately looked outside and saw a mysterious figure surrounded by light. They also discovered that the young Venerable and two other Venerables of the space race were beside this person. ¡°Young Venerable!¡± The Kings of the space race immediately bowed. Boom! Boom! Several Kings of the space race exploded with a flick of Qin Chen¡¯s sleeve. Their bodies and bones shattered. Their bodies and spirits were destroyed. Qin Chen didn¡¯t show any mercy. The space race didn¡¯t put humans in their eyes. Once they appeared, they wanted to occupy a million miles. They didn¡¯t even put the few immortal holy lands in their eyes. Even their young Venerable had come and publicly wanted to take Holy Lord Ling Ran of the Taiyi Holy Land as his woman. What an insult this was! Regardless of whether it was before or after the primordial era, the space race had always been this powerful. Qin Chen was born a human, so he naturally would not allow such a thing. Chapter 88 - Killing the Ancient Sage The young Venerable and the other two Venerables from the space race had seen with their own eyes that their experts had been killed by Qin Chen. Although they were extremely shocked and furious, they could not speak as they were sealed. Otherwise, they would definitely be furious and berate Qin Chen for his actions. The young Venerable hoped that Qin Chen would be discovered and killed by the ancient Sages. Therefore, following his lead, Qin Chen killed many experts from the space race along the way, including many Kings. However, he did not see a single Bahuang Venerable, let alone an ancient Sage. It was obvious that the core-level experts were all cultivating in the core area. Qin Chen secretly nodded. He thought, ¡°This is not bad. I can catch them all in one go!¡± Furthermore, Qin Chen was a Chaotic Sage, and the Chaotic Imperial Sutra he cultivated also recorded a secret technique to conceal his aura. Therefore, the top experts of the space race did not notice the intrusion of an outsider like Qin Chen and the fact that he had killed so many experts of the race. Before they knew it, the group had entered the deepest part of the ancestral land of the space race. There was an unusually vast mountain that was thousands of feet tall. It was exceptionally majestic and was surrounded by a dark mist, making people feel pressured. The core of the space race was here. Basically, all the core members of the race, including the Bahuang Venerables, were here. Qin Chen looked at the majestic mountain. With his keen senses, he could naturally sense that many astonishing auras were looming in the mountain. There were Venerables and even ancient Sages. ¡°How impressive. This ancestral mountain was almost refined into a holy weapon by the space race¡­¡± Qin Chen opened his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye and stared at the ancestral mountain for a long time before exclaiming in shock. He could sense the aura of many ancient Sages from this unique, pitch-black ancestral mountain. Since ancient times, the successive attacks of the past generations of ancient Sages from the space race had turned this ancestral mountain into a terrifying weapon. Its defensive power was astonishing. Furthermore, as the ancestral land of the space race, this ancestral mountain had been set up with many terrifying Sage-level ancient arrays, one after another. Qin Chen could sense no less than ten Sage-level ancient arrays. However, it was fortunate that the space race did not activate these Sage-level ancient arrays. It was clear that they had several ancient Sages in their race, so they had nothing to fear. Otherwise, they would have been in a lot of trouble. After making a round, Qin Chen, who had completely understood the situation of the space race, sneered. The space race really thought that they were invincible with just a few ancient Sages. Now, his arrival would make them completely despair. The young Venerable gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Lord Chen, all the core members of our race are in the ancestral mountain. You¡¯ll be able to see them once you enter.¡± In his heart, however, he was screaming that Qin Chen should hurry in and be killed by the ancient Sages of the space race. The young Venerable couldn¡¯t wait to kill Qin Chen right away after seeing how Qin Chen had killed so many of his men and destroyed his cultivation prowess. But how could Qin Chen not know what the young Venerable was thinking? He sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll see the ancient Sages of your race. However, I don¡¯t have to enter the ancestral mountain. Just get them to come out!¡± The young Venerable was slightly stunned. Before he could understand what Qin Chen meant, he saw Qin Chen suddenly point a finger at the ancestral mountain. Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger! The Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger unleashed by Qin Chen, who was now at level four of the Jiutian Realm, was no longer the same as before. A terrifying giant pillar that was hundreds of thousands of feet long suddenly pierced through the layers of clouds in the sky and descended with unparalleled Sagely might. ¡°No!¡± The young Venerable had never expected Qin Chen to be so direct. He didn¡¯t even say a word before he made his move. This move was definitely not an ordinary divine power. Boom! Boom! As the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger descended, the entire ancestral mountain, which was thousands of feet tall, was only relatively tough despite the efforts of the ancient Sages. It had not been able to activate the Sage-level ancient array in time. Under the loud boom, it started to collapse. Many core members of the space race were living in the mountain. However, at this moment, they were killed by the attack of such a huge finger without knowing anything. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Within the mountain, four waves of terrifying Sagely might rushed to the sky. They raised their hands and used ultimate Sage-level supernormal knowledge. They collided with the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, creating an unparalleled explosion. Everything within a hundred miles was razed to the ground by the collision of the five Sages. Countless people of the space race died for this. ¡°D*mn!¡± After the four ancient Sages had destroyed the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, they all soared into the sky in extreme rage. Who was it that dared to launch a sudden attack on the space race? Although the space race was powerful, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack. More than 70% of their members had been killed. Even a few Bahuang Venerables had been killed by the shockwaves from the battle. In front of an ancient Sage, even a Bahuang Venerable seemed so weak. The Desolate Divine Halberd secretly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. He kept his aura and quickly performed a Moving Secret Technique, displaying the world¡¯s fastest speed. In an instant, he appeared in front of a slightly weaker ancient Sage of the space race. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± The ancient Sage from the space race suddenly felt a sense of deadly danger. He wanted to avoid it at once, but he couldn¡¯t. He only saw a flash of light, and in the next moment, a huge halberd enlarged in front of him. In the next moment, the head of the ancient Sage was pierced through by the Desolate Divine Halberd. Qin Chen lifted the ancient Sage up with the halberd and asked coldly, ¡°You¡¯re only at level two of the sage realm. Do you really think you can avoid my fatal blow?¡± The Desolate Divine Halberd trembled, and the ancient Sage of the space race did not even have the chance to cry out for help before his soul was annihilated. All that was left behind was Sage¡¯s skeleton. Behind him, the young Venerable, who had witnessed this scene with Qin Chen, was extremely shocked. He was one of the four ancient Sage ancestors of the space race, a Jiutian ancient Sage. Even in the primordial era, he was a famous figure and had truly transcended the mortal world. He was a pillar of support for a powerful race, but he was killed in an instant. At this moment, the young Venerable of the space race had an expression of utter despair. He wondered what kind of terrifying person he had provoked. He was filled with regret. This would not have happened if he had not gone to the Taiyi Holy Land. Even if he could get rid of this Human Sage today, the death of an ancient Sage was definitely a huge loss to the entire space race. He would have to pay a huge price if he were to trace it back. After successfully killing an ancient Sage of the space race, Qin Chen raised his Desolate Divine Halberd and set his eyes on the second ancient Sage. This one was also slightly weaker than the other two ancient Sages. Although Qin Chen was confident that he could suppress the four ancient Sages, he might not be able to stop them if they wanted to escape. It would be better to take them down one by one. It would be easier to kill the weakest one. The other ancient Sage of the space race targeted by Qin Chen was at level three of the sage realm. He was slightly stronger than the one Qin Chen had killed. Chapter 89 - The Sacrifice ¡°Patriarch, run!¡± The young Venerable, who had been imprisoned in Qin Chen¡¯s place, wanted to shout to remind the Ancient Sage Patriarch, but he couldn¡¯t. ¡°Not good! Why did fourth brother¡¯s aura suddenly disappear? ¡± The expressions of the other three Ancient Sages from the space race changed. They had suddenly felt the aura of the fourth Ancient Sage. It had originally been there, but it had now disappeared. ¡°Fourth brother, where are you?¡± The three Ancient Sages of the space race shouted. At the same time, they were on high alert. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent him to hell. He¡¯s very lonely by himself. Why don¡¯t you go down with him? you can keep him company.¡± Swoosh! Without a sound, a figure attacked. The Ancient Sage of the space race, who had been on guard for a long time, reacted immediately. He raised his holy weapon, the Quad-Cauldron, and blocked the attack. Boom! Although he blocked it in time, it was a pity that the Quad-Cauldron was only a holy weapon and his cultivation level was still weak. On the other hand, Qin Chen was at the fourth Sage realm in the Jiutian realm. With the addition of the Chaotic Holy Body and the quasi-Emperor grade weapon, the Desolate Divine Halberd, he pierced through the Quad-Cauldron with absolute speed and power. However, it was also successfully blocked. The Desolate Divine Halberd did not hit his head. Instead, it landed on his chest and directly pierced through his Sage Heart. The Ancient Sage from the space race was almost torn apart. A large amount of Sage blood splattered from his chest, and his aura was weak. The other two Ancient Sages of the space race sensed it immediately and rushed over. ¡°It¡¯s a pity.¡± Qin Chen glanced at the Ancient Sage of the space race, who he had failed to kill, and sighed. His fatal blow had actually been blocked. However, after killing one of them, the other three were on guard. With their holy weapons in the way, it would be difficult for him to kill a second person. Even so, it was still not bad that he had managed to severely injure the Ancient Sage. ¡°Dammit!¡± The expressions of the other two Ancient Sages from the space race darkened. The sudden attack had forced them into a disadvantage position. However, it would be impossible for Qin Chen to kill him without a sound. An Ancient Sage from the space race waved his hand, and the dust between heaven and earth immediately dissipated, restoring clarity. The originally majestic mountains had already crumbled, and countless clansmen had died. They saw a Sage¡¯s body lying on the ground. He was dead. Wasn¡¯t that their fourth brother? Their eyes turned red. Ancient Sages were definitely pillars of support for powerful archaic races like the space race. Over the long years, only a few were able to reach such a level. Now that one of them had been killed, it was an absolute blow to the entire space race. It would also greatly lower the status and ranking of the entire space race among the ten thousand ancient races. Only then did they see Qin Chen. They could only see a figure surrounded by light, but they could feel that it was the aura of the human race. In the distance, he also discovered the three space race Venerables, including the young Venerable. However, at this moment, their auras were abnormally weak. They also noticed that they were only at the Sancai realm, so he immediately understood that the three of them had been crippled. The three of them were furious. ¡°You¡¯re a human Sage? Good, just great. A mere human actually dared to cripple the young Venerable of my space race and even kill an Ancient Sage of my race. How audacious! From today onwards, the human race will be exterminated!¡± This time, the space race was completely enraged and wanted to attack the human race. Qin Chen had crippled the core expert and the young Venerable of the space race, attacked an Ancient Sage from the space race, and caused the death of an Ancient Sage. This enmity was huge. Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°You, a mere member of the space race, want to exterminate the human race? You¡¯re being too delusional. I alone am enough to exterminate your space race.¡± ¡°Humph, the human race doesn¡¯t even have many Ancient Sages, right? Moreover, the space race is a powerful race among the ten thousand ancient races. After killing you today, we¡¯ll invite the Ancient Sages of the other powerful races to attack the human race. The current human race has long forgotten how submissive they were to us back in the primordial era. It¡¯s time to give them a good beating and let them know who the true master of this world is,¡± the Ancient Sage from the space race said coldly. Even though he knew that the human race had continued to prosper after the immemorial age, and that there was even a period of time where ancient great emperor appeared one after another, the space race still looked down on them. His thoughts had always been in the primordial era, the time when the human race was weak. How lowly were they to the other races? Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°You guys are quite ambitious, but you have to survive first.¡± He immediately unleashed his monarch-level supernormal knowledge, the Dragon Assault. A total of 108 rays of the Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi shot into the sky. Each ray of the Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi was a few feet long. They were like real immemorial Dragons as they charged towards the three Ancient Sages of the space race. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s speed was extremely fast. He once again rushed toward the Ancient Sage from the space race whose heart had been pierced. The other two Ancient Sages from the space race, who had a higher cultivation base, wanted to stop him, but it was too late. They were also unable to do anything and were entangled by the 54 rays of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi. This was an unparalleled offensive Emperor technique created by Qin Shihuang. It was extremely terrifying. When Qin Chen used it, it would not be a problem for him to deal with two Ancient Sages at the same time. ¡°Dammit! This guy actually knows such a monarch-level supernormal knowledge! The Ancient Sage from the space race, who was ranked second, roared in anger. After being attacked by fifty-four rays of the Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi, even someone as powerful as him had spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he had no other choice and there was nothing else he could do. Taking this opportunity, Qin Chen brandished the Desolate Divine Halberd and dealt with the severely injured Ancient Sage. Pfft! With just one strike, the Ancient Sage of the space race was split into two, and his head exploded. Qin Chen struck out a second time with his gradually recovering quasi-Emperor grade weapon. The third Ancient Sage of the space race, who was at level five of Sage realm, could not withstand it at all. His Sage Soul shattered and he was killed. With that, two Ancient Sages of the space race had been killed. Half of the Ancient Sages of the space race had been killed. Even if they were to survive today, the space race would definitely suffer a great loss and would no longer be as glorious as they were in the past. ¡°Third brother!¡± the other two Ancient Sages of the space race yelled. Their eyes were bloodshot and they were extremely furious. Moreover, they looked at the Desolate Divine Halberd with fear and even a trace of fear. ¡°It¡¯s the Desolate Divine Halberd, the peerless weapon of the former quasi-emperor Taihuang. How did you get it? ¡± Taihuang was a famous quasi-Emperor in the primordial age and was rumored to be on the verge of becoming an Emperor that has proven their path. This human Sage was already terrifying, and now that he had a quasi-emperor grade weapon, he was simply unrivaled! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be your turn soon!¡± Lifting the Desolate Divine Halberd, Qin Chen attacked the second brother in an instant. The halberd was as heavy as a hundred million catties, directly breaking through the second brother¡¯s defense. The second brother was smashed to the ground, and his flesh and blood exploded. Only his skeleton was left. Before he could stand up, the Desolate Divine Halberd was thrown out by Qin Chen and pierced through his head. The quasi-Emperor grade weapon was awakened and released wisps of quasi-Emperor aura, annihilating the second brother¡¯s Sage Soul and killing him. Not long after, the three Ancient Sages of the space race were killed by Qin Chen one by one. Only the strongest one was left, feeling shocked, angry, and sorrowful. However, when he looked at Qin Chen, who could kill Ancient Sages in just two to three moves, he felt a deep sense of fear. This human Sage was too terrifying. With such combat strength, he couldn¡¯t be regarded as an ordinary Sage. Even the top Sages on level seven or level eight couldn¡¯t be so powerful to an Ancient Sage so quickly. He knew that he was no match for Qin Chen, who had killed the three Ancient Sages. He could only turn around and fly into the sky in anger. He was going to find the other ancient races and tell them everything. He was going to attack the human Sage and take revenge on the entire human race. He was going to let the human race know who the true master of this world was. ¡°You can¡¯t escape!¡± Qin Chen naturally understood what this Ancient Sage was thinking. He would not allow him to escape. He chased after the Ancient Sage with lightning speed using a Moving Secret Technique and even used the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. The Ancient Sage was no match for Qin Chen, so he fell from the sky and crashed into the ground. ¡°Damn you, human, you forced me to do this!¡± The severely injured Ancient Sage from the space race roared, ¡°I¡¯m sacrificing my true self and awaken the Ancient Ancestor!¡± With this roar, the Ancient Sage¡¯s entire body began to burn. Rays of blood-red light were burning, shooting out rays of terrifying multicolored light. They quickly formed an unparalleled giant shadow in the void. It was 100 thousand feet tall, indomitable, like an ancient demon God, looking down at Qin Chen. The shadow exuded a majestic aura that was far beyond the Sage realm, making Qin Chen feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him. It was the first time he had felt such an oppressive aura. Chapter 90 - The Awakening of the Desolate Pagoda On the ancestral mountain of the space race, the last and most powerful Ancient Sage of the space race had burned himself. His body was rapidly drying up because streams of blood essence flew out from his body and then burned up. He sacrificed himself and summoned the will of the Ancient Ancestor hidden in the depths of his bloodline. The space race was one of the hundred strongest races in the immemorial era. At their peak, there had even been a Supreme Sage among their race. Basically, every member of the space race had the bloodline of the Supreme Sage Ancestor. At this moment, this Ancient Sage of the space race was sacrificing himself to awaken the Supreme Sage bloodline hidden in the deepest part of his body. He was also awakening a wisp of the will of the Supreme Sage Ancient Ancestor. A 10 thousand-feet-tall shadow appeared between heaven and earth. It exuded an unparalleled pressure that far exceeded the Sage realm. At this moment, he was looking down at Qin Chen from above. Qin Chen raised his head and looked at the terrifying shadow solemnly. Without a doubt, it had definitely surpassed first Sage realm in the Jiutian realm. It was very likely to be the second Sage realm in the Jiutian realm, or even the third Sage realm in the Jiutian realm. Otherwise, it would not be so terrifying. It was as expected of the ten thousand ancient races, they truly did have some foundations that couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Before the shadow was completely formed, Qin Chen would not be so stupid as to wait for the final threat to form. He immediately used the heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint¡±. Therefore, the heavenly Emperor-grade technique that he had cultivated to the early stage, coupled with Qin Chen¡¯s fourth heaven Sage realm cultivation, was enough to threaten the peak of the Sage realm and even the Sage Kings. The huge palm print devoured countless the Laws of Heaven and Earth within a radius of hundreds of miles. Then, it slammed down on the 10 thousand-feet-tall shadow of the space race Ancient Ancestor with an indestructible force. Boom! It was like a huge explosion that split the heaven and earth. The entire ancestral land of the space race trembled. The sky, earth, and void were constantly exploding, as if they were going to annihilate everything. Half of the ancestral land of the space race was destroyed, including many of the space race. This commotion resounded for hundreds of thousands of miles. Originally, the space race¡¯s domineering appearance and demand for all humans within a million miles to retreat had attracted the attention of the world, including many human cultivators. Now, how could they not know about such a terrifying fluctuation? ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°This fluctuation¡­¡± ¡°Is there a peerless Ancient Sage? ¡± Without a doubt, many people were paying close attention to all this. They really wanted to know what had happened. However, that was the territory forcefully divided by the space race. Human cultivators didn¡¯t dare to rashly set foot within a radius of a million miles. Thus, they weren¡¯t clear about it and could only watch from afar. However, how could they see it from hundreds of thousands of miles away? The ancestral land of the space race. Dust soared into the sky as a terrifying destructive force continued to bloomed. It annihilated the space and countless mountains collapsed. This heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint¡±, was so powerful that it made the space race feel despair. The young Venerable and the other surviving clansmen looked at the space that Qin Chen had destroyed in a daze. They were filled with despair. After a long while, the dust settled, and the majestic shadow was still there, but it had faded a lot, as if it had been annihilated. The last Ancient Sage of the space race was still there. He was enveloped by the Ancient Ancestor¡¯s shadow, and all that was left of him was his skeleton. All of his flesh and blood had been completely burned and sacrificed, allowing the Ancient Ancestor¡¯s shadow to gradually become clear again. His Sage Soul was also burning in the eye sockets of the skull, sending out all his power to make the shadow of the Ancient Ancestor clearer and more powerful. At this moment, the Ancient Sage from the space race had sacrificed himself and was extremely close to death. However, he still laughed madly at Qin Chen. ¡°Human Sage, you may be strong, but our ancestor is an Immemorial Supreme Sage. Now that he¡¯s reversed time and space and returned, you¡¯re dead for sure! Boom! His Sage bones exploded, and his Sage Soul burned. The last bit of power was poured into the Ancient Ancestor shadow, making it clearer. It was as if this Supreme Sage ancestor of the space race had reversed time and space, crossed time from the immemorial era, and descended to this world to rule over the world. ¡°Welcome back, Ancient Ancestor!¡± In the distance, the remaining members of the space race who had not been killed were both sad and happy. They knelt on the ground and shouted slogans such as ¡°Unparalleled Ancient Ancestor ¡± and ¡± Invincible Ancient Ancestor ¡°. The young Venerable was extremely excited. He looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°The Ancient Ancestor has returned. Human Sage, you will die today. ¡°You¡¯re making too much noise!¡± Qin Chen was indifferent. He flicked his sleeves and turned the young Venerable into ashes, causing the other members of the space race to keep quiet out of fear. This human Sage was simply not afraid of death. He actually dared to kill the young Venerable in front of their Ancient Ancestor. The 10 thousand-foot-tall shadow of the Ancient Ancestor of the space race didn¡¯t care about the death of the young Venerable at all. Or perhaps to him, the young Venerable was just an ordinary tribesman at the Sancai realm who didn¡¯t care at all. He opened a pair of ghastly white eyes and looked at this strange world. He couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°The paths of heaven and earth are close to the Age of Chaos, but they are not. They should be gradually recovering. After I fell, what happened in this world that caused the world to fall into an Age of Chaos? Only now have it gradually recovered.¡± Immediately, his white eyes looked down at Qin Chen coldly. ¡°The current space race is really weak. They¡¯ve completely declined. They¡¯re only facing a puny level four Sage realm human race Sage, but they made a Sage burn his true self to awaken my last hidden will. I¡¯m really disappointed.¡± ¡°Ancient Ancestor!¡± At this moment, one of the surviving Venerables from the space race knelt down and said, ¡± Ancient Ancestor, please uphold justice for the space race. This human Sage killed three of our race¡¯s Ancient Sages. The last one, Ancient Sage was unable to escape and was forced to wake you up. Please return your will. I only hope that you can kill the main culprit who almost destroyed our space race.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The ancestor of the space race stared at Qin Chen in surprise. He had just woken up and did not know what had happened. Now that he had made some deductions, he immediately understood everything. He could not help but look at Qin Chen in shock. ¡°You¡¯re just a little human at the level four of the Sage realm. I didn¡¯t expect you to master Qin Shihuang¡¯s heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge and almost destroy my last trace of consciousness. You¡¯re indeed powerful, but it¡¯s a pity that you¡¯ll never understand the mysteries of the Supreme Sage realm before you reach the Supreme Sage realm.¡± There was no doubt that the shadow of the ancestor of the space race had been a third Sage realm in the Jiutian realm when he was alive. Even though he had died many years ago and only had a wisp of his soul left, he still possessed terrifying power that far exceeded that of ordinary Sages. It was precisely because of this that Qin Chen was unable to completely destroy the shadow of the Supreme Sage Ancient Ancestor of the space race even when he used his heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge. Qin Chen frowned. He knew how powerful the Ancient Ancestor of the space race was, but he did not expect that a mere wisp of his will could not be destroyed by his heavenly-emperor-level supernormal knowledge. In the end, it was still because of the huge gap between them. He was only one a first Sage realm in the Jiutian realm, while the other party was a third Sage realm in the Jiutian realm. The difference was more than a major realm. It was the difference between an ordinary Sage and a Supreme Sage. Even the Chaotic Holy Body couldn¡¯t make up such a difference. After all, the Chaotic Holy Body, the number one body in the world, was not truly invincible. However, he wasn¡¯t afraid, because the ancestor of the space race in front of him wasn¡¯t the unrivaled Supreme Sage of the past. He was just a remnant of his will. How much power could he unleash now compared to when he was still alive? With Qin Chen¡¯s strength, even if it was difficult to obliterate the Ancient Ancestor of the space race, he had absolute confidence in being able to retreat in one piece. However, Qin Chen did not retreat. He did not know how long the shadow of the Supreme Sage Ancient Ancestor of the space race could last. He had to deal with him. Otherwise, if he took revenge on the Tai Yi Holy Land, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Sigh, how troublesome. If only this damned space race would obediently stay where they are and not provoke me. How good would that be? ¡± Qin Chen sighed helplessly. ¡°This damned space race. Now, they¡¯ve even brought someone back from the dead. It¡¯s really troublesome.¡± ¡°I guess this is the only way.¡± Qin Chen continuously poured his Chaotic Divine Power into the Desolate Divine Halberd. Immediately, the Desolate Divine Halberd released a shocking quasi-Emperor aura that suppressed the sky. ¡°Eight Desolation Strikes!¡± With a loud shout, Qin Chen used Taihuang¡¯s quasi-Emperor supernormal knowledge and slashed at the Ancient Ancestor of the space race. Therefore, the power of the quasi-Emperor supernormal knowledge that Qin Chen was using with the Desolate Divine Halberd was even more terrifying than the ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint¡±. A stream of light filled with desolation was blasted toward the Ancient Ancestor¡¯s shadow. The expression of the shadow of the Ancient Ancestor of the space race changed. ¡°You actually have a quasi-Emperor grade weapon, and this weapon is the Desolate Divine Halberd!¡± One could tell that Taihuang had been very famous in the primordial age, and even the Ancient Ancestors of the space race knew of his existence. ¡°Underworld Realm!¡± The Ancient Ancestor shadow roared, and a pitch-black void space appeared in front of him. It was as deep as hell, and there were countless dark souls wandering around. Some of them were powerful, and they even released a shocking aura. Qin Chen¡¯s Eight Desolation Strikes struck the mysterious Underworld Realm and disappeared. Qin Chen frowned. He did not expect the Ancient Ancestor shadow to take his attack like this. The Ancient Ancestor was much more terrifying than he had imagined. His techniques were unfathomable, but he did not stop. He immediately used the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon. Rays of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi surrounded the Desolate Divine Halberd, and together with the Eight Desolation Strikes, he attacked the Ancient Ancestor shadow continuously. ¡°You¡¯re just a first Sage realm in the Jiutian realm. Even if I¡¯m far from my peak and only a wisp of my will has returned, you¡¯re still no match for me.¡± The shadow of the Ancient Ancestor immediately waved its huge palm and slapped it at Qin Chen. The palm print was mysterious. It was an ultimate Sage-level supernormal knowledge. All kinds of Supreme Sage laws came and sealed Qin Chen¡¯s surroundings, making him unable to move. ¡°This¡­¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed slightly. He was actually unable to move. The 108 streams of Emperor Shi¡¯s dragon qi were unable to break through the sealed void. Was this the power of a Supreme Sage? This was the first time Qin Chen had encountered such a tough and powerful enemy. His various attacks had actually failed. It was obvious that even though it was just a wisp of his will, this Supreme Sage ancestor of the space race was far more powerful than he had imagined. ¡°Die!¡± the ancestor of the space race spat coldly as his palm continued to strike down. It contained the power to destroy the world. It was the attack of a Supreme Sage. Qin Chen¡¯s hair stood on end as he sensed the danger of being crushed to pieces. This space race ancestor was too terrifying. He was about to use the awakened the Desolate Divine Halberd to break the seal by force when a terrifying force suddenly appeared in his body. Even his Chaotic Holy Body could not withstand it. Dense cracks appeared on his body as he opened up the space in his body immediately and a broken nine-story stone pagoda fell out. The stone pagoda was only the size of a palm. The stone pagoda that had always seemed simple and unadorned was now flowing with a desolate brilliance. Qin Chen was stunned. He did not even notice such a change. However, he could feel a terrifying and mysterious power flowing out of the Desolate Pagoda. He immediately brandished the Desolate Divine Halberd like a big stick and struck the Desolate Pagoda towards the Ancient Ancestor shadow. Boom! The Desolate Pagoda rushed toward the Ancient Ancestor shadow. The next moment, what shocked Qin Chen was that it easily broke through the restraints of the Supreme Sage laws and crashed into the Ancient Ancestor shadow above. When the Ancient Ancestor shadow saw the stone pagoda, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his expression completely changed. ¡°The Desolate Pagoda, why do you have the Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s original ancient weapon!¡± Chapter 91 - Extermination The shadow of the Ancient Ancestor of the space race¡¯s voice reverberated through the world with a hint of fear. Qin Chen was stunned. It seemed like the Ancient Ancestor Phantom of the space race knew the true origin of this Desolate Pagoda. However, who was Supreme Emperor Huang? Was he the owner of the Desolate Pagoda? Just from the name, the guy didn¡¯t sound weak! Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What do you mean by original ancient weapons? Who is the Supreme Emperor Huang?¡± ¡°Underworld Realm!¡± The Ancient Ancestor shadow did not answer Qin Chen¡¯s question. He seemed to be very afraid of the Desolate Pagoda, so he used the Underworld Realm again. This was an unparalleled supernormal knowledge that could even swallow the Desolate Divine Halberd¡¯s Eight Desolation Strikes. However, the Desolate Pagoda merely trembled slightly, and the Underworld Realm started to collapse, heading towards destruction. The Desolate Pagoda directly crashed into the Ancient Ancestor shadow. ¡°No!¡± The shadow of the Ancient Ancestor displayed several ultimate supernormal knowledge. Any one of them could easily kill an Ancient Sage. He wanted to use these to block the attack, but they were easily pierced through by the Desolate Pagoda. ¡°I understand now. So it¡¯s the Desolate Divine Halberd that awakened the Desolate Pagoda. After all, Taihuang was the Supreme Emperor Huang¡­¡± Boom! Originally, Qin Chen would not have been able to do anything to the space race¡¯s Ancient Ancestor¡¯s shadow, but now that it was hit by the Desolate Pagoda, the Ancient Ancestor exploded. The last bit of will was destroyed, and only a voice remained in the world. ¡°The Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s original ancient weapon has appeared. Could it be that that place is finally going to¡­¡± The shadow of the Ancient Ancestor of the space race had been destroyed, and the four great Ancient Sages of the space race had been completely annihilated. At this point, the space race, which had appeared domineeringly not long ago, had been completely wiped out! The remaining powerful cultivators of the space race looked at this scene in a daze and did not come back to their senses for a long time. It was as if they could never imagine that the invincible Ancient Ancestor¡¯s shadow would be killed just like that. This shouldn¡¯t be the case. The space race should have appeared in the most powerful manner and forced the human race to submit. Why was it that a single human Sage had killed all the Ancient Sages and destroyed the shadow of the Ancient Ancestor that had crossed through space and time, leaving only a handful of people from the vast space race? Qin Chen looked at the desolate ancestral land of the space race and the Sage remains left behind by the three Ancient Sages he had killed not long ago. He reached out and grabbed them from the air. The three Sage skeletons all had Sage sources. If he refined them, he could shorten his cultivation time. He couldn¡¯t leave them here. Immediately, Qin Chen entered the original location of the ancestral mountain. Although the ancestral mountain had already been disintegrated by the continuous attacks, the deepest part of it remained. It was protected by several Sage-level ancient formations and had not been completely disintegrated. However, the ancient formations had been torn apart and penetrated through the inside and outside. Qin Chen saw the treasure vault of the space race. There were a few Sage arrays here, but he had forcefully broken through them. He went straight in and saw many treasures. They were all piled up into a mountain. There were many top grade medicinal herbs, spiritual stones, and Divine Spirit Sources. There were countless other types of treasures. As expected of a powerful ancient race, they had accumulated many treasures. Furthermore, Qin Chen also discovered a huge crystal that actually sealed a skinny figure. He was also from the space race, but he was a Sage King. This stunned Qin Chen. The space race actually had a Sage King. This made his expression change. If this Sage King had appeared just now, he would probably have turned around and fled. However, Qin Chen was also a little puzzled. Why would the Ancient Sage of the space race rather burn himself to awaken the Supreme Sage Ancient Ancestor than call out this Sage King? After some careful observation, he finally discovered that this Sage King of the space race had no life force left. He had silently passed away over the long years. However, he was sealed by the crystal seal, and his Sage body was still there. This allowed Qin Chen to heave a sigh of relief. If he was still alive, he would feel troubled. He could even find a place to bury him and kill this Sage King of the space race when his cultivation improved to avoid future trouble. Moreover, although the Sage King of the space race had passed away, his Sage King source had been preserved due to the seal, which made Qin Chen very envious. The value of one Sage King source was far more than ten Sage sources. The inheritance that the space race had left him was very rich. After all, the space race was a powerful ancient race and had many treasures. He kept all of them in the system space, making him even richer. After doing all this, Qin Chen soared into the sky. He showed no mercy to the remaining members of the space race and killed them all. Those who were not of our race must have a different heart. Furthermore, these members of the space race had viewed humans as ants during the immemorial age, capturing and devouring them at will. Once they left, the news of him taking action would spread and it would definitely cause great trouble. Qin Chen had always been a person who didn¡¯t like trouble. The best way was to kill all disasters in advance. Boom! He looked down from above and pressed down with one hand, forming a huge handprint that was 100 thousand feet in size. He killed all the members of the space race. After a few attacks and relying on his senses to find out that there were no more members of the space race alive, he left. Before Qin Chen left, he returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation he had set up. He silently injected a stream of Chaotic Divine Power into it. When a Sage aura appeared, it would immediately awaken and bombard the Sages inside. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to kill one or two more Ancient Sages. After dealing with the space race, Qin Chen returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. Not long after he left, many people from the Taiyi Holy Land breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Elder King return. When they were about to ask about the situation, Qin Chen casually replied, ¡°From today onwards, there will be no more space race in this world.¡± As soon as his words fell, the world fell silent! There would be no more space race in this world! Everyone gasped. If they had guessed correctly, the Elder King¡¯s trip to the space race this time had probably annihilated the entire race. Heavens, that was a powerful ancient race with several Ancient Sages. How could they be exterminated just like that? It was simply unbelievable! Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything more and went into seclusion. He had just reached the level four of Sage realm, and it would be extremely difficult for him to make further progress. However, with three Sage sources and one Sage King source, he could make further progress in a short time. It was a pity that Ancient Sage Kong Shen, the last Ancient Sage of the space race, had burned his Sage source when he was summoning his Supreme Sage ancestor back. He had lost a Sage source for nothing, which he felt was a pity. ¡°Refining these Sage sources and Sage King sources should be enough for me to make progress.¡± Qin Chen released the four Sage remains and dug out four Sage sources. One of them was the Sage King sources, which was much more powerful than the other three. It was like a sun, while the other three were like moons. ¡°I¡¯ll refine these Sagely sources first. They should be able to allow me to improve me a lot.¡± Chapter 92 - Shocking the World While Qin Chen was cultivating in seclusion, the news of the extermination of the space race was like a bolt from the blue. Overnight, it had spread throughout the entire Canglan Continent. Recently, the space race emerged with great power and intimidated the world. They wanted to divide the territory within a million miles and make it their absolute territory. Even when a few important figures of the human race¡¯s immortal inheritances went to negotiate, they were strongly rejected by the space race. They didn¡¯t make any concessions. Everyone in the world could feel the space race¡¯s strong attitude. Even though the human race was furious, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, the human race had no Sages while the space race had several Ancient Sages. They were not on the same level. However, after the negotiations between the Taiyi Holy Land, the Southern Palace, and the other immortal holy lands failed, they could only go back and prepare for the relocation. Although most of them had slumbering Ancient Sages, most of them were like the old Sages of the Taiyi Holy Land. They were on the verge of death and wouldn¡¯t live for long. They couldn¡¯t fight against the Ancient Sages of the space race at all and could only seek a second-best solution. However, before they could move, a terrifying change happened in the ancestral land of the space race. When foreign cultivators went to investigate, they were shocked to find that the insufferably arrogant space race had been razed to the ground. Many mountains collapsed. Countless people died. Even the race¡¯s treasury had been penetrated and taken away. In one night, the space race had been exterminated! This news naturally shocked the world. Who would have thought that the space race, which had dominated the world a day ago and had several Ancient Sages under their control, would be destroyed the next day? Moreover, the identity of the attacker was unknown. However, they could deduce from the traces at the scene that the attacker must have been a peerless expert and his cultivation level was not low. He was not someone who had just entered the Sage realm, but was very powerful. Otherwise, how could they have exterminated the space race, one of the 100 strongest races in the immemorial era? After all, the space race had four great Ancient Sages and more than ten Venerables. There were also countless other experts. Moreover, such a strong race had the corresponding foundation. Who was it that had razed the space race to the ground? All of a sudden, it shook the Canglan Continent and triggered many speculations. ¡°Alright, the space race is so domineering and looked down on the human race. They deserve to be exterminated!¡± The space race was so domineering when they first appeared. They demanded to divide a vast territory of a million miles and made themselves the King. They even chased out the Southern Palace, the Taiyi Holy Land, and other human immortal inheritances in this area. Now that they had been exterminated, it was really satisfying! ¡°I wonder which great expert exterminated the space race. I really want to know.¡± ¡°Sigh, this is bad. The space race has been exterminated. I¡¯m afraid a great calamity will befall the human race!¡± ¡°Why do you say that? If our human race Sages can raze the space race to the ground, the other ancient races will be crushed as well!¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m also very happy that the space race has been razed to the ground, I¡¯m more worried that it will cause other major problems. No matter what, the space race was still one of the 100 strongest races among the 10 thousand ancient races. Now that their race had been exterminated, the other ancient races would not sit by and do nothing. When the time comes, our human race might not be able to resist them.¡± ¡°The human race possessed many inheritances of immortality. We even have the extreme powers left behind by the ancient great emperor. We have no fear of anything. No matter how angry the ancient races are, they should still be wary of us.¡± ¡°You¡¯re oversimplifying this matter. Among the 10 thousand ancient races, apart from the space race and the whale race, there are the even more powerful ancient imperial clans. They¡¯re no weaker than the imperial clan of the human race, and they also have extreme great emperor level inheritances. If these ancient Imperial families show up, the human race won¡¯t have an easy time.¡± ¡°Even the top 100 powerful races are so terrifying. If the ancient imperial clans made their appearance, it will be enough to suppress the human race!¡± Everyone in the world was in a heated discussion. Many people were very happy. If that mysterious human Sage didn¡¯t make a move, the human race wouldn¡¯t have a place to live in the future if the other ancient races followed the space race¡¯s lead and demanded to divide such a vast territory, or even an even larger one. But at the same time, many people were worried. They believed that the destruction of the space race this time would cause a huge backlash from the 10 thousand ancient races. During the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races had looked down on the human race. Now that they had emerged, their thinking would not have changed much. But because the human race was so powerful, they would still not push the human race so far. However, the extermination of the space race would most likely cause the other ancient races to think that the human race was provoking the 10 thousand ancient races. If that was the case, it would only bring harm to the human race. Many of them were worried that the ancient races would take this opportunity to change the situation where the human race was the dominant race in this world. At the same time, some of the members of the space race who happened to be out at that time managed to survive. When they returned, they found that their ancestral land had been destroyed and their clansmen had died tragically. They were shocked, angry, and afraid. They immediately went to seek help from the other awakened ancient races, hoping that the other ancient races could seek justice for the space race. All the great ancient races that had been awakened were naturally alarmed, and they couldn¡¯t sit by and do nothing. Some of the ancient races were silent, but many of the stronger races had a very strong attitude. They swore that they would find the true culprit who had destroyed the space race. There were even Ancient Sages who made their way to the original location of the space race¡¯s ancestral land to find the true murderer. The original location of the ancestral land of the space race. In the past few days, apart from many human cultivators who went to investigate, there were also powerful cultivators from the ancient races who came. These ancient races were very different from the human race. Some of them had the body of a human and the head of a dog. Some of them were like scorpions but had three heads. Some of them had Silver Wings on their backs¡­ They came one after another, stepping into the land where the space race had been exterminated. After all, this was related to a powerful ancient race, and no one in the world could ignore it. These ancient race beings had all come to investigate, hoping to find the true culprit who had exterminated the space race. However, even if many Venerables from the ancient races came, they could only sense the aura of the Sages lingering there. They couldn¡¯t deduce if the true culprit who had destroyed the space race was really a human Sage. However, even though these Venerables were frowning, they were not surprised. To be able to annihilate an immemorial race like the space race, the other party was definitely not a weak person. He was no ordinary Sage. Not long after, there was a majestic Sage might that filled the air. An Ancient Sage had arrived. ¡°Greetings, the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale!¡± All the powerful beings of the ancient race present bowed to the Ancient Sage who had just arrived. The Ancient Sage Demonic Whale was an extremely burly man. In his human form, he was 15 feet tall, and his true form was an immemorial demonic whale. He was an Ancient Sage of the whale race. ¡°Crap! I didn¡¯t expect that the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale would be here!¡± ¡°There are many ancient races that view the human race as their enemies. However, the most brutal of them all is still the whale race, not to mention one of the Ancient Sages of the whale race, the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale!¡± Upon seeing the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale, many of the human cultivators¡¯ expressions changed as they thought back to the brutal cases that the whale race had committed since their awakening. They were even worse than the space race! Chapter 93 - Back Over the years, many of the ancient races had appeared relatively gentle and not too overbearing. Space race was a rare exception. However, after some ancient races were born, they were even more powerful than space race. Whale race was such an extremely powerful ancient race. If space race¡¯s dominance over humans was because they had divided the area within a million miles and chased away all humans within a million miles, including the immortal inheritance, then whale race would directly target the human forces within a hundred thousand miles and fed on humans. Whale race was a kind of ancient Sage Demonic Whale. They naturally liked to devour blood energy and use it to cultivate and become stronger. During the primordial era, whale race had always treated humans as food. They had devoured countless humans. Each time they would consume at least millions of them. After they were born, they still stuck with their old habits. When they saw that the number of humans far exceeded that of ancient times, they became extremely excited. As soon as they were born, they directly turned an ancient human country with a radius of 100 thousand miles into a hunting ground. Hundreds of millions of humans living in it became their food. Their blood energy dried up and they died, becoming a country of death. However, whale race appeared even earlier, once in the later-ancient era. They had many Ancient Sages and the heaven and earth had started to wither and enter Dharma-Ending Age. Humans were weak and there were no Sages in the world. No Sages could contend with them, so they could only watch all of this happen. Later on, a hidden Sage of humans couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and went to attack whale race, almost dying. In the end, the Human Sage had no choice but to bring an ultimate weapon, namely extreme emperor weapon, and start a destructive battle with whale race. In that battle, the Sage had killed two Ancient Sages of whale race, making this ancient powerful race keep quiet out of fear. From then on, they no longer dared to target humans without restraint and were forced to seal themselves and go back to sleep. Now that the other ten thousand ancient races were gradually emerging, whale race was naturally emerging as well. Compared to the later-ancient era, they were even more powerful. It was said that a few small countries with a population of a million were devoured by the experts of whale race as food. Humans had no other choice but to watch this happen. In this era, humans had no Sages and could not resist. Furthermore, the ten thousand ancient races were gradually emerging as well. All of the ancient races had Sages awakening, and this was a huge pressure for humans. When the human cultivators saw the arrival of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale, they all fell silent. Back then, this ancient Sage Demonic Whale had awakened in the later-ancient era, causing a terrifying tragedy. When he reappeared not long ago, he had turned over ten million humans into food. The arrival of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale shocked many human cultivators. Worried that he would attack humans, they all left the area immediately, not wanting to be targeted by him. The ancient Sage Demonic Whale swept his gaze across the human cultivators and licked his lips with a bloodthirsty look on his face. The blood energy of human cultivators was more delicious than that of ordinary humans, and it was better for cultivation. However, the ancient Sage Demonic Whale did not attack the human cultivators immediately. Instead, he stepped into the ancestral grounds of space race and looked at the desolate land. The ground was covered in blood, and one could tell that a great battle had taken place there. The ancient Sage Demonic Whale sensed the aura of the four space race Ancient Sages, but he was unable to detect any aura of the murderer. He could not help but frown. The murderer was very powerful. He was able to kill four Ancient Sages of space race. He was definitely not an ordinary Sage. He might even be a Sage King! If it were a Sage King, the ancient Sage Demonic Whale would have immediately turned around and left. A Sage King of that level was not an opponent he could deal with. One of the old experts from space race who had managed to survive immediately stepped forward and knelt before the ancient Sage Demonic Whale with tears streaming down his face. ¡°I implore the ancient Sage Demonic Whale to uphold justice for our race and find the culprit!¡± ¡°Let me ask you something,¡± the ancient Sage Demonic Whale said. ¡°Doesn¡¯t space race have a sleeping Sage King? Why can¡¯t I sense him?¡± This was also what he found strange. ¡°Yes!¡± the old man from space race replied immediately. ¡°Our race¡¯s Sage King passed away long ago.¡± ¡°I see.¡± The ancient Sage Demonic Whale finally understood what was going on. He had already given up. If the Sage King of space race had been killed, it would mean that the intruder was at least a Sage King, and was not someone he could deal with. However, if the intruder was not a Sage King, it would be a different story. ¡°I understand. All of you, step down. I¡¯m going to deduce the true murderer.¡± The ancient Sage Demonic Whale began to analyze the events of the past. When one becomes a Jiutian Sage, he would be equipped with extraordinary means, and it was not difficult for him to deduce. Boom! Just as the ancient Sage Demonic Whale was about to make his move, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation that Qin Chen had set up in the ancestral land suddenly sensed the aura of the Holy path aura and exploded. A destructive aura rippled, and the entire ancestral land of space race turned into an absolutely dangerous place. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The ancestral land of space race was on the verge of destruction. The void continued to be annihilated, and waves of terrifying destructive power that could even scare Sages appeared. ¡°Ah!¡± Screams continued to ring out. The cultivators of the ancient race in the ancestral land were annihilated at the first moment. Even though there were many Bahuang Venerables, they were extremely fragile under the suppression of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation. They were annihilated into ashes and ceased to exist. Chapter 94 - Back In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of ancient race cultivators, including more than ten Venerables, were all killed by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation. In the outside world, many human cultivators gasped in shock. If not for the fact that they were wary of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale and had left this place in time, they would have ended up like the other ancient race cultivators, reduced to naught. ¡°No! There¡¯s a sage-level ancient array! And it¡¯s a killing array!¡± The ancient Sage Demonic Whale¡¯s face fell, and he immediately tried to escape from the ancestral land. However, he was unable to do so. In the void, an invisible barrier had actually appeared to stop an Ancient Sage like him. He immediately understood that there was not only a killing array but also an isolation array, which was also a Saint-level ancient formation. ¡°Da*n it, how can there be a sage-level ancient array here? And there¡¯s more than one. It shouldn¡¯t have been left behind by space race. That¡¯s right, it must be the true murderer who exterminated space race. He deliberately left them behind. Da*n it!¡± The ancient Sage Demonic Whale quickly came to a realization, and he was enraged beyond measure. Not too long ago, he had encountered such a situation, but there was nothing he could do about it now. With a shake of his body, he conjured the projection of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale that was ten thousand feet in size. Exuding an intense saintly might, it slammed viciously into the sage-level ancient array. Boom! However, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation immediately unleashed countless beams of killing light that blotted out the skies as they shot toward the ancient Sage Demonic Whale. As such, the massive body of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale became the greatest target of all of them. Blood splattered! Very quickly, the ancient Sage Demonic Whale¡¯s true body was completely covered in blood from the attacks of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation, and a large amount of blood splattered through the air, looking horrifying. The ancient Sage Demonic Whale was helpless. He bellowed in rage as he attempted to charge out of the killing array, but he was unable to do so in the end. This Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation was a tenth-grade Sage King array, and it was even aided by a trace of Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Power. The ancient Sage Demonic Whale was only a fourth-heaven Sage, so he would not be able to withstand it. Boom! In the end, the ancient Sage Demonic Whale¡¯s body was completely obliterated by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Sageslayer Formation! In the ancestral land of space race, a destructive aura rippled, dust soared into the sky, and blood-red light filled the air. In a corner that no one could see, the void shattered, and chaos energy filled the air. A slender, white hand reached out from within and grabbed the Sage source that was left of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale. Immediately, the broken void was gradually repaired, and the air of chaos spread and dissolved the remaining aura. A voice with a bit of regret sounded, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that only one person fell into the trap and got a Sage source. But it¡¯s better than nothing.¡± Soon, everything disappeared. Outside, the human cultivators witnessed this scene with their own eyes. While they rejoiced, they were also deeply shocked. Yet another Ancient Sage had fallen, and this time, it was a Sage of whale race. Now that the ten thousand ancient races had appeared not long ago, Ancient Sages had fallen one after another, and even powerful races had been exterminated. This was probably going to cause an even greater riot. ¡°Let¡¯s go. The news here must be reported to all parties as soon as possible.¡± ¡°The powerful ancient race, whale race, has lost an ancient Sage to space race. They¡¯re probably furious.¡± Let¡¯s hope that there are still other Sages from humans that haven¡¯t appeared. Otherwise, the Ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races will fall one after another, and they¡¯ll most likely be furious. Some of the ancient races might even vent their anger on humans.¡± I wonder who the powerful being that destroyed space race is. Even after he left, he still left behind a sage-level killing array, causing the fallen whale race to kill an ancient Sage. He has no choice but to take it back. Such a method is truly impressive.¡± Everything that had happened in the ancestral land of space race naturally could not be hidden from the world. It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples! First, space race had been exterminated. Then, the experts from the other races who had gone to investigate had been killed, including an ancient Sage from the whale race. It was a world-shaking event. It was now in East Land. In the territory occupied by whale race, a heaven-shaking roar resounded through a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, causing the heavens and earth to collapse. It was extremely terrifying. Some people saw a huge and terrifying black shadow appear in the sky. It covered the sky and the sun, causing the color of the world to change. There were also many other locations where the ancient race was located, and there was also an ominous aura. Evidently, many ancient race beings were displeased with what had happened in the ancestral land of space race. It was now in the northern region of Central Province. In the desolate land that belonged to Great Qian Dynasty, there was a vast land called Ice Plains. From ancient times until now, this ice field, which was three hundred thousand miles in circumference, had always been a forbidden area for humans. Even as one of the four immortal dynasties, Great Qian Dynasty was extremely wary of Ice Plains. This was because they knew that this place was the slumbering grounds of one of the top 100 ancient races. Since ancient times, outsiders had been strictly forbidden from entering this place to prevent anyone from waking up the slumbering ancient race. In recent years, the world had gradually recovered, and the myriad races had become active. Some of the powerful ancient races that had been sleeping in icy Plains had also been awakened. Silver feather race was the name of this ancient race. As one of the top 100 races of the ancient era, silver feather race was much stronger than pegasus race and space race. However, ever since they awakened, they had always kept a low profile. They weren¡¯t like space race, who forcefully divided up a million miles of land and asked all the powers in this vast land to leave and didn¡¯t even show respect to the undying inheritance. In the middle of Ice Plains, there were hundreds of mountains standing next to each other, some high and some low. Chapter 95 - Back At the core of the glacier mountain range stood a magnificent ice palace. At this moment, there were many humanoid creatures with silver wings gathered in the ice palace. Some had seven pairs of wings, some had nine, and some even had ten. At the very top was a golden throne, and the person sitting on it was the only person with ten pairs of wings. He was extremely handsome, and his silver hair hung down loosely. He wore a special divine crown of wings on his head, and a faint golden light flowed around it, just like his ten pairs of wings. Below, there were six handsome men and women with nine pairs of silver wings. They sat on both sides of the throne. Further down were silver feather race members with eight or seven pairs of wings. For silver feather race, it was very easy to distinguish the strength of the people. Just by looking at the number of wings, one could tell that for every major realm, there would be an additional pair of silver wings. Cultivators with seven pairs of wings were in Qiyao realm. Cultivators with eight pairs of wings were in Bahuang realm. Cultivators with nine pairs of wings were in Jiutian realm. Cultivators with ten pairs of wings were equivalent to the Sage King realm. Naturally, the handsome man on the throne was a Sage King. Without a doubt, if this news became public, it would definitely shake the world. In the era when there were no Sages in the world, the four Ancient Sages of space race had dared to drive away a few immortal inheritances of humans. However, a Sage King of silver feather race had silently awakened. Once he left this icy plain, the world would definitely wait for a revolution. At this moment, it was within the Ice Palace. The Sage King of silver feather race sat on the throne. His beautiful golden eyes scanned the great beings of silver feather race below and said, ¡°What do you think of the extermination of space race?¡± Without a doubt, the news of the extermination of space race shocked silver feather race. As one of the top 100 races of the immemorial era, although space race was not very strong compared to silver feather race, they were still one of the top 100 races of the immemorial era. Now that they had been exterminated in just a few days, they sure had noticed this. The Sage King had spoken because silver feather race Ancient Sage had said, ¡°Your majesty, I think there¡¯s something fishy about the extermination of space race. It¡¯s very likely that it was done by a human.¡± ¡°Go ahead,¡± The Sage King said. The other powerful beings also turned to look at the Ancient Sage. ¡°The appearance of space race is too domineering. As soon as they appeared, they demanded to divide the land within a million miles, which is much larger than the ice plains that my race occupies. They even asked for the immortal sacred grounds and ancient families of humans to move away from this land. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among humans. The Ancient Sage said slowly, ¡°Although there are no sages in humans now, that¡¯s only on the surface. No one knows if there are any other Sages in humans. For example, ten years ago, someone passed the Sage test and became a Sage. The Ancient Sage of fiend race tried to kill him in the starry sky, but it was unsuccessful. He was even injured. This proves that it was a genius of humans who passed the test. This means that there must be other Sages in humans, but they are too rare. Most of them are in the stage of reclusive cultivation.¡± 1 ¡°Furthermore, according to our understanding, the immortal inheritances of humans are all left behind by Ancient Sages. More or less, there are Ancient Sages who have not passed away completely sealed and lived on as the foundation of such immortal inheritances.¡± ¡°Now that space race has been exterminated, it¡¯s most likely that the Sages hidden in the dark of humans couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and took action to exterminate space race.¡± Chapter 96 - Attitudes Toward the Human(1) The other silver feather race experts nodded in agreement with the analysis of the silver feather race¡¯s ancient Sage. As a powerful ancient race, the silver feather race was far more low-key and intelligent than the space race. This was because the silver feather race knew that this was no longer the primordial era when humans still had to live humbly. After the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races went into a deep slumber while the human race gradually flourished. Furthermore, ancient great emperors were born one after another, along with ancient sages, leaving behind many immortal inheritances. As a result, humans had now become masters of this world. If the ten thousand ancient races continued to view this world with their old ways of thinking, they were bound to be disappointed. The other silver feather race ancient Sages frowned. ¡°Although the space race is indeed a bit more aggressive, the human¡¯s actions are too overbearing. Are they trying to send a message to warn the other races that human is the master of this world? Hehe¡­ back in the primordial era, they had to bow down to the ten thousand races.¡± Although they knew that the human race was the largest in this world, there were many ancient races whose thinking was still in the primordial era. They were very dissatisfied with the human race¡¯s destruction of the space race when the human race was humble. Even within the silver feather race, many had different opinions. ¡°We acknowledge that the human race is indeed the largest race today,¡± the third ancient Saint said coldly, ¡°However, as the other races are slowly emerging, the human race will no longer be able to continue their reign. Even if the human race still had Sages, there wouldn¡¯t be many of them. They didn¡¯t have the right to occupy so many territories, not to mention that they had already occupied the best areas. Now that the silver feather race has appeared, we must occupy the best spot. That is in line with our status.¡± The other two ancient sages also felt that the silver feather race could not continue to stay in the Ice Plains. Back when they were in deep sleep, they had no objection to the human having occupied many important territories. Now that the silver feather race had appeared, they would occupy a core area to develop. Only by occupying a good enough place could the silver feather race develop better and give birth to stronger experts. The first ancient Sage of the silver feather race frowned. ¡°I feel that we need to discuss this with the human. Otherwise, we might end up like the space race.¡± ¡°Shang Ming, I think you¡¯re really afraid of the human race.¡± A silver feather race ancient Sage looked at him and snorted coldly. ¡°The overall strength of the silver feather race far exceeds that of the space race. Furthermore, we don¡¯t ask for more than good territory. How would humans dare to reject and ignore us? Even if the human race has Sages hidden within, they will still have to submit to our king.¡± The silver feather race did not have ancient Sages only but also the king of the Sage King Realm. They were far stronger than the space race. Shang Ming, the silver feather race ancient Sage, sighed. ¡°I just think that we can¡¯t underestimate the human race. In the primordial age, ancient great emperors were rising in the human race, and they even broke through the suppression of the other races to become one of the top races. Even though the great emperors were no longer around and the human race declined again, after the primordial age, the other races went into a deep slumber while the human race reversed the situation and great emperors rose one after another. All of this shows that the human race can¡¯t be underestimated.¡± ¡°There are still ancient Sages in our race in deep sleep and have saved their awakening for this era. I¡¯m afraid there are human Sages as well, and they might not just be ordinary ancient Sages.¡± Ancient Sage Shang Ming had a very high opinion of the human race. However, the other silver feather race¡¯s ancient Sages did not think much of it. They thought that he had merely filtered out the information. The human race was already on the decline. Even if their Sages were sleeping, there were not many of them. They could not stand up to the other races. At this moment, shocking news came from the outside world. The ancient Sage Demonic Whale, who had gone to investigate the ancestral territory of the space race, had died along with all the other experts of ancient races. That was because the mysterious expert who had exterminated the space race had left behind several terrifying sage-level ancient arrays. Once a Sage from the ancient race appeared, they would automatically activate the killing arrays to exterminate the intruder. Undoubtedly, the silver feather race was shocked by this news. Another ancient Sage had fallen. Was the human race warning that they have Sages as well? However, the Hawk faction of the silver feather race snorted coldly. ¡°With such means, there¡¯s no doubt that the human did it. Is this an insinuation that we can¡¯t mess with the human race? Hehe, we will be the first to refuse. Please give the order, my King!¡± Since this matter concerned the prestige of the ten thousand ancient races, the silver feather race¡¯s ancient Sages hoped the king could order to suppress the human race. ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± Shang Ming hurriedly said. Everyone¡¯s eyes were set on the Sage King of the silver feather race on the golden throne. He was the leader of the silver feather race who decided everything. The Sage King of the silver feather race was silent for a long time before he finally said, ¡°Now that the silver feather race has entered the world, it¡¯s time for us to occupy a better territory. The human race isn¡¯t simple. The ten thousand ancient races have ancient Sages that have been in deep slumber since the beginning of time and know that the world is awakening. The human race also has ancient great emperors that are extremely wise and knows the past and present. We can¡¯t underestimate them.¡± It was obvious that the Sage King of the silver feather race had never underestimated humans. The ancient sages from the Hawk faction were bewildered and immediately asked, ¡°Sage King¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to advise me anymore. The human race can¡¯t be underestimated!¡± he said seriously. His will determined the entire silver feather race because he was the strongest of the race. Chapter 97 - Attitudes Toward the Human(2) Since the king had decided, the others couldn¡¯t say anything but agreed to his words. On the other hand, many ancient races appeared a long time ago. Their attitudes were the same as the silver feather race¡¯s. They kept a low profile and didn¡¯t act too aggressively toward the human race. Instead, they maintained cautious and relatively friendly. However, there were even more ancient races who were very domineering. After the destruction of the space race, they were even more furious and felt that the human race was challenging the dignity of the ten thousand ancient races. For example, the death of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale completely enraged this powerful ancient race. The East Land consists of the vast eastern Five Regions of the Canglan Continent, covering a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. This region was similar to the Southern Desolate Lands, where there were hundreds of schools of thought, thousands of countries, and countless species of flowers blooming. It was a region where the human race¡¯s cultivation was at its peak. Similarly, during the primordial era, many ancient races chose to hibernate within this vast land. Now, they were gradually awakening. When some of the ancient races heard that the space race had been exterminated, they were extremely shocked and furious. Some powerful ancient experts clamored for the human race to pay the price. Among them, the whale race was impacted greatly because of the death of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale not long ago. ¡°How dare he kill an ancient Sage of our race! The human race must be tired of living! Today, we will make them pay for it.¡± A cold voice came from the territory of the whale race and resounded throughout the world. That day, a shocking piece of news shocked the entire East Land. ¡°The ten Venerables of the whale race have appeared and attacked the seven great ancient countries of the East Land. Tens of millions of humans have been plunged into misery and suffering. The capitals of the seven great ancient countries have been razed to the ground. Three human Venerables and over 20 human kings have been killed. Blood has stained the land for thousands of miles!¡± The Venerables of the ancient races had destroyed many ancient human countries in the East Land, causing tens of millions of people to die. After the Venerables of the ancient race appeared, there was no doubt that their destructive power was shocking. They could easily destroy great human countries and cause massive casualties. Even a few famous human Venerables in the East Land were killed by the ten Venerables of the whale race. Such a tragedy naturally shocked the world and attracted the attention of everyone in the Five Regions of the Canglan Continent. At the same time, it also aroused the anger of the human race. Fearing their might in the primordial era, the human race allowed the ten thousand ancient races to take over large territories as a show of sincerity since their reappearance. However, the Venerables of the ten thousand races were so brutal now. They had destroyed the seven great ancient countries, killed the Venerables and kings of the human race, and slaughtered millions of humans. Their blood stained the endless territories. Was this a warning to the human race that the ten thousand races were going to return to their position as rulers of the primordial era? But, such a method was too cruel. ¡°To the whale race, we will not yield!¡± Although the whale race was a powerful ancient race that was not inferior to the space race, the human race was unyielding. Many experts in the immortal holy lands in the East Land even voiced out to seek justice for the human race. Within the East Land, the seven Venerables stood out one after another. Usually, these human Venerables would cultivate in seclusion, hoping to break through to the Jiutian sage realm one day. However, what the whale race did infuriated them and they had to come personally. The seven human Venerables had gathered in the Luoyang Holy Land. They were going to the whale race together to seek justice. However, before the Immortal Holy Land¡¯s army could leave, the ancient Sages of the whale race arrived at Luoyang Holy Land and destroyed the Protecting Formation, annihilating the entire holy land. Naturally, there were also ancient Sages who were sealed in deep slumber in the Luoyang Holy Land. Under such circumstances, they were forced to come out. Unfortunately, just like the ancient Sages of the Taiyi Holy Land, their lifespans were running out and they were about to pass away. Now that the ancient Sages had come out to resist, they wanted to bring the ancient Sages of the whale race down with them. However, another ancient Sage from the whale race had arrived in secret. They joined forces and killed the ancient Sages of Luoyang Holy Land, staining the sacred ground with holy blood. On this day, the Luoyang Holy Land was destroyed. The news shocked the East Land. Without a doubt, this was the ten thousand ancient races venting their dissatisfaction. They simply did not agree with the idea that the human race was the ruler of this world. Their thinking was still stuck in the primordial era when the human race was still humble. Now, they had destroyed a human immortal holy land as a warning to the human race. ¡°Damn it! The whale race destroyed the holy land. Do they think that it is still the same as the primordial era when we have to surrender to thousands of races for a living?¡± ¡°Today, the human race is no longer the weak race we were in the past. After the primordial era, the human race rose completely and occupied this world. Many Holy Lands were developed. There was even an everlasting immortal divine dynasty left behind by the great emperor of the human race. Do they think that we would be easily bullied?¡± ¡°The ancient Sages of the whale race have killed Venerables of the human race and razed the holy land of the human race to the ground. This is equivalent to declaring war on the human race!¡± ¡°Sages, please take action and destroy the whale race. Bring justice to the human race!¡± The world was shaken, and countless humans were furious. They hoped that a human Sage would take action and destroy the whale race to bring justice to the dead humans. ¡°The human race is just a declining race under our feet, nothing more than that. If it weren¡¯t for that all of our races went into slumber after the primordial era, the human race wouldn¡¯t have been able to rule the world.¡± An ancient Sage of the ancient races spoke, completely ignoring the human race¡¯s anger. He even killed all the humans in a human city, turning them into food. His teeth and mouth were stained with human blood. He coldly continued, ¡°Humble humans, you are only our food. You are not qualified to occupy this land. Give up all your territories as soon as possible. You will only occupy a radius of a million miles and be reared by our races. You will keep a branch of the human race by regularly offering a million human beings to us.¡± Chapter 98 - Attitudes Toward the Human(3) His words were cruel. Completely ignoring the human, he saw them as pigs and sheep raised in captivity, ready to be slaughtered at any time. Quite a few ancient races agreed with the words of this ancient Sage. They had always treated the human race as an inferior race and had never really looked at them seriously. More importantly, some of the humans were standing with other races and had made inappropriate remarks. ¡°I don¡¯t think the ancient races are wrong. If it wasn¡¯t for that mysterious human Sage who exterminated the space race, these ten thousand ancient races wouldn¡¯t have been so angry and attacked us.¡± 1 ¡°That¡¯s right. You should step out and take all the responsibility. It¡¯s all your fault!¡± ¡°I advise that human Sage to step forward and bear all the mistakes. Let yourself be punished by the ancient races. This might reduce the hatred they have for us. If it wasn¡¯t for you, the ancient races wouldn¡¯t have been so enraged and attacked the human race, causing so many lives to be lost.¡± These words were endless. Some were on the side of the human Sage, while others were innately rebellious, believing that the human Sage needed to stand out. This infuriated all the elders and disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land. They had all guessed that the extermination of the space race was the doing of the Elder King. The space race had been so aggressive back then, not treating the human race with little respect. They even dared to clear out the Immortal Holy Land, and the young Venerable had even asked Ling Ran to become his woman. The Elder King had no choice but to take action. This move also shocked the ten thousand ancient races, informing them that the human race still had a peerless Sage. It wasn¡¯t the humble human race from the primordial era. They couldn¡¯t bully them as they pleased. However, there were always some people who were used to being fence-sitters. Even though the human race was already powerful, they still regarded the other races as noble existences that they had to look up to. The elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land wanted to go to war and kill these people. This was stopped by Ling Ran. She said coldly, ¡°There are always some people like this. You can¡¯t change them, you can only watch.¡± 1 ¡°I can¡¯t tolerate the Elder King being mocked by them. He¡¯s a hero of our race.¡± A disciple said indignantly. Ling Ran answered, ¡°That¡¯s why the Elder King is not willing to reveal his identity. I believe that he will not mind. Now, the Elder King is cultivating in seclusion, most likely because he suffered irreversible injuries from the battle with the space race. We can¡¯t disturb him at this time. Do you understand?¡± Many elders and disciples nodded their grievance. An ancient Sage from the whale race had destroyed an ancient human country, which originally had a population of over a hundred million, and was now a land of death. All of them had turned into food and entered the stomach of the ancient Sage. He revealed a look of satisfaction and said, ¡°The human race is indeed the food of us. After devouring 300 million humans, my blood energy has improved a lot. I¡¯m gradually returning to my peak.¡± Naturally, this action caused the human race to be furious. The whale race viewed the human race as their food. Furthermore, they devoured hundreds of millions of humans, completely infuriating the human race. Immediately, a Sage from the human race started a holy war with the ancient Sage of the whale race. It was said that the battle lasted for a day and a night. In the end, the human Sage was defeated, and the ancient Sage of the whale race cut off two of the human Sage¡¯s arms. He returned with a great victory and a growing reputation. The human race was even more sullen. But there was nothing they could do because even the human Sage had been defeated. How could they fight him? At the same time, a group of more than a hundred primordial powerful races led by the whale race began to occupy the human territory in the East Land. More than half of these ancient races had ancient Sages. The powerful ones like the whale race had several ancient Sages, while the rest had Bahuang Venerables. For the current human race, they were too powerful and occupied a vast territory. Although there were hundreds of schools of thought in the East Land, all of which were immortal inheritances that had given birth to ancient sages, they were all very ordinary now. They didn¡¯t even have a Bahuang Venerable. How could they resist these ancient races? The East Land was being occupied by the terrifying ancient races. Although the human race had Sages, they were pitifully few compared to the other races. On this day, the ancient Sage of the whale race announced that the human Sage who had exterminated the space race had to appear in person at the All Races Gathering three months later to offer his humble apology and destroy his cultivation. If he didn¡¯t come out in one day, the whale race would destroy a human country. Within a month, they would destroy a Holy Land of the human race. He would kill until the human Sage came out. Chapter 99 - Out of Seclusion Here was the Taiyi Holy Land. Qin Chen was cultivating in seclusion. With the help of the Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique, he refined four Sage sources first. Without a doubt, the four Sage sources helped him advance to another level in a short time, reaching level five of the sage realm. And he was at the late stage of level five. However, this made Qin Chen feel quite helpless. The four Sage sources were the Sage sources of four Sages. The source power of four Sages had only improved Qin Chen¡¯s realm by a little more than one level. One could imagine how difficult it was for a Chaotic Sage like him to improve the realm. However, other than the four Sage sources he had obtained from killing the three ancient Sages of the space race and the ancient Sage Demonic Whale, the most important thing was the Sage King source. Although the Sage King of the space race had already passed away in the seal, and the Sage King source left behind was much weaker than the source of a living Sage King, only half of it, it was still comparable to ten ordinary Sage sources. Therefore, it took Qin Chen three months to completely refine the Sage King source and reach the peak of level six of the Sage realm. In other words, he could enter level seven at any time if he had enough opportunities. Qin Chen, who was at the peak of level six of the Sage realm, was much more powerful than before. Qin Chen believed that his current overall combat power was stronger than many peak Sages. He might even be able to cross a realm and compete with Sage Kings. Qin Chen didn¡¯t come out of seclusion immediately. Instead, he continued to refine a few holy pills to consolidate his cultivation prowess. He also practiced all kinds of supernormal knowledge to become more familiar with them. Finally, he took out the Desolate Pagoda and carefully studied it. Qin Chen only knew that this Desolate Pagoda was an original ancient weapon from the heaven burial era, and the original owner seemed to be Supreme Emperor Huang. Although Qin Chen did not know who Supreme Emperor Huang was, it did not stop him from thinking that Supreme Emperor Huang was an unparalleled person. He was probably at least an emperor-grade existence or even a heavenly-emperor-level existence. As for how to use the Desolate Pagoda, Qin Chen already knew that ordinary divine power Infusion would not succeed. The Desolate Pagoda¡¯s recovery was also due to the Desolate Divine Halberd¡¯s influence. The ancient ancestor of the space race once mentioned that Supreme Emperor Huang seemed to have a certain relationship with quasi-emperor Taihuang. Both of their names had the word ¡°Huang¡± in them. It was the same for weapons. Qin Chen believed that Taihuang was most likely a descendant of Supreme Emperor Huang. That was the general guess. Of course, more importantly, this Desolate Pagoda was extraordinary. Even the phantom of the ancient ancestor of the space race couldn¡¯t withstand it and was shattered in one strike. If he used it well, Qin Chen might be able to kill a Sage King. Even if they were caught off guard, a Sage King would suffer a great loss and might even be killed. ¡°What kind of weapons are original ancient weapons?¡± Qin Chen was very curious. He was very unfamiliar with the concept of original ancient weapons. There were no records of them in the Taiyi Holy Land. The Great Qin Dynasty, the immortal divine dynasty left behind by Emperor Shi, should have related records. He felt that he should make a trip to the Great Qin Dynasty if necessary. When Qin Chen came out of seclusion, the entire Taiyi Holy Land was naturally alerted, which attracted Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and other important figures. However, it was obvious that they did not look too good. ¡°What happened?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart sank. He had a bad feeling about this. Ling Ran did not hide anything. She took the initiative to tell Qin Chen everything that had happened after he went into seclusion. After all, even if she did not say anything, Qin Chen would definitely know about it. When Qin Chen heard about the recent events and the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ actions against the humans, his expression darkened. It was obvious that the humans had not been well while he was in seclusion. Due to the destruction of the space race, many ancient races targeted humans. Many humans in the East Land were met with disaster. Even some ancient human countries were destroyed, and billions of humans became food for the ancient Sages of the other races. ¡°Do these ancient races really think that there are no Sages in the humans?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression was gloomy, and his heart was filled with shock and anger. If it was just a war between humans, he wouldn¡¯t care even if hundreds of millions of people were killed or injured. This was the law of the jungle among humans. It was the law of survival in this world. But he would be furious if other races interfered. As a human, he had to protect the humans. ¡°Sage Chen!¡± Lord Dragon arrived. When he saw the shock and anger on Qin Chen¡¯s face, he knew that Qin Chen had gotten to know everything, so he didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Are you trying to persuade me?¡± Qin Chen looked at Lord Dragon and asked. Lord Dragon nodded and quickly said, ¡± I know that you must be very angry, Sage Chen. However, I hope that you will not go to the banquet of the hundred races. The whale race has set a trap and hopes that you will step into it.¡± Qin Chen replied, ¡°Of course I know. But if I don¡¯t stand out, the ancient races will target humans. Now, billions of people have died because of me. I have no choice but to stand out.¡± Lord Dragon was silent. He had always thought that although Sage Chen¡¯s cultivation prowess was very strong, he seemed to be immersed in his cultivation and did not care about the outside world. Now, it seemed that he was wrong. Sage Chen wanted to stand up for humans. Lord Dragon said, ¡°Sage Chen, take me with you. At the very least, with me by your side, we might be able to resolve some of the dangers.¡± He was born into the dragon race, and all the ten thousand ancient races had to be respectful to the dragon race. Even the ancient imperial clan was the same. Qin Chen looked at him and smiled. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. At this moment, a group of people appeared. The person in the lead was a noble figure dressed in a dragon robe. It was none other than the current ruler of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Feng. ¡°Minister!¡± Several members of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s royal family saluted Qin Chen. They did not dare to ignore him because they knew that Qin Chen had already become a Sage. At the same time, they were also excited. The fact that the minister had become a Sage was of great significance to the Great Qin Dynasty. Qin Chen nodded slightly and looked at his ninth brother, Qin Feng. He knew that Qin Feng was going to tell him some secrets, so he immediately isolated himself from the outside world and made others unknowable. ¡°Qin Chen, I know you¡¯re going to the East Land. I can¡¯t stop you, but I¡¯m here to give you something,¡± Qin Feng said. Qin Chen was slightly stunned. Immediately, Qin Feng took out the imperial seal. There was an ancestral dragon entrenched on it. It was very extraordinary and shocked Qin Chen. This was the imperial seal that could mobilize the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty. It was extremely shocking. One had to know that the fate of an undying dynasty was unimaginably strong. With Qin Feng¡¯s cultivation prowess in the Qiyao realm, the fate of the dynasty that he could mobilize with the imperial seal was only the tip of the iceberg. However, it was enough to be on par with a Venerable. If a Venerable held the imperial seal of the country, the power of the country¡¯s fate that he could mobilize would naturally be stronger, and it would not be a problem for him to compete with a Sage. Now, if Qin Chen, a Chaotic Sage, were to control it, the power of the country¡¯s fate would be unimaginable. And he would be able to resist or even suppress a Sage King. It was an important weapon of a great country. ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t do that,¡± Qin Chen declined immediately. How could he take away such an important weapon of a great country? Once outsiders knew about it, they would take the opportunity to deal with Qin Feng. Even if Qin Feng was the Imperial Lord, he would most likely be demoted. Furthermore, the imperial seal was an important weapon for suppressing the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty. It was also Qin Feng¡¯s protective measure and was indispensable. Qin Feng shook his head, ¡°Qin Chen, you¡¯re the minister of the great Qin Dynasty. There was no one above you but the emperor. You¡¯re also a member of the great Qin imperial family. You¡¯re naturally qualified to hold the imperial seal. You are representing humans on this trip. As one of the human divine dynasties, no one would dare to say anything if the Great Qin Dynasty helped you.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen could only accept it gratefully. With such an imperial seal, he was even more confident. Furthermore, Qin Feng was informed of an important piece of information. The imperial seal was an important weapon of the divine dynasty, and it could even activate the extreme emperor weapon of the Great Qin Dynasty at critical moments. Chapter 100 - Phoenix City of East Land The imperial seal was an important thing for a country. It could be used to mobilize a country and greatly increase the strength for a short period of time. However, who would have thought that this important weapon of the country could still use an extreme emperor weapon at such a critical moment? After Qin Chen had checked in for so many years and obtained many things related to ancient great emperors, monarch-level supernormal knowledge, imperial sutra, Imperial Technique and so on, he had never obtained an extreme emperor weapon. The most powerful weapon he had obtained, other than the mysterious Desolate Pagoda, was the quasi-emperor grade weapon, Desolate Divine Halberd. However, there was no need to elaborate on the level of Desolate Pagoda, this mysterious primordial ancient weapon. Furthermore, the conditions to use it were relatively harsh. It required the Desolate Divine Halberd, and it was unknown how powerful it would be. However, even if an extreme emperor weapon was only slightly awakened, a trace of the emperor¡¯s might was enough to crush mountains and rivers for a hundred thousand miles. It was unimaginably terrifying. With an extreme emperor weapon, even the imperial clan would be wary of him. Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. This was a truly shocking gift! ¡°Qin Chen, I will wait for your triumphant return.¡± Qin Chen was very grateful that Qin Feng had left. At this moment, Ling Ran also went forward and took out a large bow. He said, ¡°Elder King, this is a sacred bow left behind by an Ancient Sage of the Holy Land. I hope it will be of use to you.¡± Taiyi Holy Land was not as powerful as Great Qin Dynasty. Holy weapons were already one of the most important weapons. They could not give Qin Chen anything better. Qin Chen declined and said, ¡°No need. I don¡¯t lack holy weapons. You should stay in the Holy Land and wait for my triumphant return.¡± He took Lord Dragon and stepped onto the void divine altar. He broke through the void and disappeared. East Land. It was vast and boundless, and it had a total of eighty-one provinces. Each province was equally vast and shockingly huge, spanning millions of miles. The eighty-one provinces were home to a hundred schools and ten thousand countries. They were extremely prosperous. Sunset Province. This was one of the ten most powerful provinces in the central region of East Land. Qin Chen and the Dragon Lord used the void divine altar to cross the region and finally landed in this province. This was because the upcoming grand banquet of the hundred clans of the East Land would be held in Phoenix City, the capital city of the Sunset Province. Not long after they arrived at the Sunset Province, Qin Chen and Dragon Lord heard a lot about the hundred clans banquet. ¡°In half a month¡¯s time, it will be the hundred clans banquet. I heard that the whale race isn¡¯t the only powerful ancient race here. There is also the silver feather race, blue sky race, ancient ape race, and other powerful ancient races!¡± ¡°With the whale race as the leader, many ancient races have declared that the recent actions of the human race have infuriated the ten thousand ancient races. They want to join forces to suppress the human race and regain control of the vast world!¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. The whale race has lost an Ancient Sage, so how could they let this matter rest? With this ancient race¡¯s vengeful nature, the human race has suffered a terrible disaster during this period of time. Recently, an ancient human country has been reduced to food for the whale race. The nearby immortal holy lands and ancient aristocratic families were all frightened by the terrible fate of Luoyang Holy Land and didn¡¯t dare to provoke them.¡± ¡°The most terrifying thing is that some of the ancient races even clamored that the ten thousand ancient races would work together to destroy the human race and replace them to restore the glory of the ancient era. More importantly, it has received the support of many ancient race members.¡± ¡°The human race is in serious trouble this time. Well, if not for that mysterious Sage who annihilated the space race and killed the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale, angering the entire whale race, the hundred clans banquet would not have taken place.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too naive. In my opinion, the hundred clans banquet¡¯s act of having the mysterious human Sage apologize was just a pretense. The true goal was to gather all the clans to attack the human race!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just not sure if the ancient imperial clan of the ten thousand ancient races will appear this time. The ancient imperial clan is an imperial clan left behind by an ancient great emperor. The foundation is unfathomable. Furthermore, no one knows what kind of unparalleled expert is in deep sleep in the ancient imperial clan, waiting to come back!¡± ¡°If the ancient imperial clan is involved in this and wants to destroy the human race, the human race will be in danger.¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. The hundred ancient races are not the only ones participating in this banquet. Many ancient families and immortal holy lands of the human race are also there. I heard that some Ancient Sages have woken up! ¡°Even immortal divine dynasty seems to have sent people over.¡± On the way, they heard a lot of news about the hundred clans banquet. Some of them were very terrified. It was rumored that the whale clan was going to form an ancient race alliance to attack the human race and carry out large-scale destruction. They wanted to regain the glory of the ten thousand ancient races and dominate the world. Some felt that there was no need to worry. Even the human race¡¯s immortal holy land had appeared, not to mention that a sleeping human Ancient Sage was about to be born. More importantly, they heard that even the immortal divine dynasty had sent experts. The four immortal divine dynasties were publicly acknowledged as the descendants of ancient emperors. Their foundations were the most unfathomable, not any weaker than the ancient imperial clans. The reason why these Sages from the immortal heritages and the immortal divine dynasties were attending the hundred clans banquet was to resolve the conflict between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races in the hope of a peaceful resolution. Otherwise, if this conflict continued, it would lead to an even more terrifying disaster. Between the mountains and rivers, a giant dragon that was tens of thousands of feet long was soaring. It soared through the clouds and mist, charging toward Phoenix City like lightning. Dragon Lord said, ¡°Sage Chen, the hundred races banquet is held to target you. There will definitely be many Ancient Sages from the ancient races who will come after you. Do you need me to invite the slumbering Ancient Sages of the dragon race? The dragon clan also has a dragon lair in the East Land.¡± The dragon race was once the number-one race in the world. They had many dragon lairs where the ancient dragon race was in deep sleep. If they could invite an Ancient Sage of the dragon race, even the ten thousand ancient races would have to be humble. Even the ancient imperial clans would have to be respectful. Qin Chen shook his head. ¡°No need. Even if you do, you won¡¯t be able to get more than a few of them. One or two won¡¯t be enough to change the situation. Furthermore, the dragon Ancient Sages won¡¯t help me sincerely. He clearly understood his current situation. How could the dragon race stand against the ten thousand ancient races just to help him? However, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t that afraid of the Ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races now. He was already at the peak of level six of Sage realm and had the Chaotic Holy Body, which was the number-one body type. He could fight Sage Kings on equal terms. Furthermore, he had other trump cards, such as the imperial seal, which could mobilize the fortune of the dynasty and extreme emperor weapons. He also had the mysterious Desolate Pagoda, an original ancient weapon. He was absolutely invincible under the Sage King realm. He could even fight against Sage Kings, so he was not afraid at all. Moreover, with Moving Secret Technique, there really weren¡¯t many people from the ten thousand ancient races who could stop him if he wanted to leave. So many backup plans were his greatest asset. Furthermore, Qin Chen didn¡¯t think that there would be Sage Kings. Even if there were, he still had the confidence to retreat. That was why he dared to attend the banquet alone. Soon, the two arrived at Phoenix City. This was an immemorial divine city. It was rumored that it had existed since the immemorial era and was related to the ancient great emperors. The city walls were black and red in color and were over 300 meters tall. There were countless traces of war on them and they were unusually grand and majestic. The city was filled with cultivators from all over the world. In particular, the hundred clans of the East Land were about to hold a hundred clans banquet here, which attracted countless powerful cultivators from all over the world. It was very lively. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Strong divinity has been detected here. Would you like to check in?¡± Chapter 101 - Whale Race All Alone (1) As soon as he arrived in Phoenix City, the system¡¯s cold notification sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. Of course, items provided by the system were of the highest quality. Items which would require the system¡¯s notification were the best of the best. Qin Chen did not hesitate to check in. ¡°Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have been rewarded with a peerless ¡®Phoenix Nirvana Pill¡¯.¡± ¡°Note: the Phoenix Nirvana Pill is a 11th grade super Sage Pill made from the legendary blood of the Phoenix. Once consumed, one will be able to be reborn like a phoenix in a critical situation and break through the limit!¡± At the same time, the system also gave a rare explanation. Qin Chen was both surprised and happy. Having obtained the ¡°Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls¡±, he naturally knew better than anyone else that this Phoenix Nirvana Pill was absolutely an extraordinary pill. Even if one was seriously injured and on the verge of death, as long as one still had one breath left, swallowing this Phoenix Nirvana Pill would be enough to resurrect one from the dead. It could even surpass the past and cause a breakthrough, just like the real rebirth of the phoenix. The key was that this was a 11th grade super Sage Pill. Even Qin Chen, who had cultivated the secret scroll of the Great Alchemy Emperor the ¡°Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls¡±, and had reached the level of a 10th grade pill Sage King, would not be able to refine it. Not to mention that this ¡®Phoenix Nirvana Pill¡¯ was the most perfect peerless pill, which made it even more precious. To be able to obtain such a divine item as soon as he arrived was definitely a stroke of good luck. As expected of Phoenix City, Qin Chen was able to get such a peerless pill the moment he arrived. Qin Chen immediately spent a huge sum of money to rent a relatively hidden ancient palace in Phoenix City. It belonged to an immortal holy land in Phoenix City, and an Ancient Sage had once sat cross-legged in it. With a wave of his hand, Chaos Sage Runes appeared. They interweaved in the void in an array and covered the inside and outside because Qin Chen was going to consume the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. The Phoenix Nirvana Pill wouldn¡¯t take effect immediately after consuming it. It would only take effect when one was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It would immediately display the magical effect of rebirth and allow the person who took it to be reborn. Taking it now was just a precaution. At the same time, Qin Chen could also comprehend the profoundness of the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. However, when Qin Chen consumed the Phoenix Nirvana Pill, this super Sage Pill instantly turned into a special warm current that seeped into his limbs and bones. Then, it disappeared. At first, Qin Chen was sighing with regret. Before he could sense the mystery of the pill, the ¡°Resurrection Technique¡± in his body suddenly began to operate on its own. The Resurrection Technique was the immortal technique created by the ancient great emperor. It was rumored that as long as a drop of blood was left, one could be resurrected, undying and imperishable. Back then, Qin Chen had obtained it by chance when he checked in at the Taiyi Holy Land. It was considered a peerless secret skill along with the Moving Secret Technique that was known as the world¡¯s fastest secret technique. Now, after he had swallowed the ¡®Phoenix Nirvana Pill¡¯, some of its medicinal effects had dissolved, and it had actually resonated with the ¡°Resurrection Technique¡±, causing it to rapidly circulate. In a daze, it was as if a phoenix had awakened in his body, and the raging Immortal Fire burned inside his body. An unimaginable heat quickly emerged in his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, making his skin glow. It was as if wisps of Immortal Fire were emerging, and an exceptionally majestic and amazing force continued to emerge. ¡°This¡­¡± Qin Chen was shocked. He immediately felt something special and sat down cross-legged, circulating the ¡°Chaotic Imperial Sutra¡± to refine the vast energy into a shocking wave of Chaotic Divine Power. Boom! After a while, a shocking Sagely might burst out, shaking the entire place. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Qin Chen had set up the Chaos Sage Runes in the ancient palace to isolate it from the outside world, the Chaotic Divine Power would have blown the ancient palace apart and alarmed the outside world. Qin Chen had broken through! Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation base was at the peak of level six of Sage realm, and he broke through straight away. He was now at level 7 of Sage realm! It was now a fact, Qin Chen had broken through to level 7 of Sage realm. In the Sage realm, there was a huge difference between level 6 and level 7. It seemed like a small realm difference, but in fact, one¡¯s strength would double after breaking through. Once one reached level 7, they would be crowned with the title of ¡®supreme¡¯, and they could be called supreme Sages. He was much more powerful than ordinary Sages. In addition, Qin Chen was a Chaos Sage, so his combat strength had made an astonishing breakthrough. ¡°I thought it would take some time to gradually improve. I didn¡¯t expect the Phoenix Nirvana Pill to resonate with the Resurrection Technique, which allowed me to break through and become a super Sage. Qin Chen revealed a look of joy. At this moment, he could feel that the Chaotic Divine Power flowing in his body was much stronger than before. Level 7 was indeed the dividing line of the Sage realm. Once one crossed it, their strength would skyrocket. After successfully breaking through, the medicinal power in his body settled down again, but only a small fraction was lost. Most of it settled in the deepest part of his body, and once a serious injury appeared, this medicinal power would automatically circulate, allowing him to break through his limit. ¡°I¡¯ve reached level 7, the super Sage realm, so I should be able to kill ordinary Sages with one strike.¡± Qin Chen nodded to himself. He felt that his power was terrifying. It would not be a problem for him to slap an ordinary Sage to death. He also had a high chance of going against a peak Sage King. Chapter 102 - Whale Race All Alone (2) Qin Chen was supposed to go through the lightning trial when he reached level 7, but he had suppressed it with the special secret technique he had obtained in the past decades. He couldn¡¯t go through the lightning trial at this critical moment, or else he would easily alarm the ten thousand ancient races. Unknowingly, it was already nighttime. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly raised his head and looked up into the sky. Suddenly, beams of dazzling Starlight descended from the sky like a waterfall, drowning the entire Phoenix City. Phoenix City, an ancient divine city, was extraordinary in its own way. The entire majestic ancient city was drowned in the radiance of the falling stars at this moment. Its entire body glowed with multicolored light, and the Starlight dazzled. It was truly mystical. Lord Dragon raised his head and looked at the falling stars. The Phoenix City was breathing as if it had a life of its own. With every breath, it swallowed a huge amount of Starlight, which disappeared into the city. He saw a look of surprise on Qin Chen¡¯s face and said, ¡°Sage Chen, legend has it that Phoenix City is a giant egg that was reborn from the Nirvana of an immemorial celestial Phoenix. It was nurtured in the Phoenix Nest, but the descendants cultivated the current immemorial divine city in the Phoenix Nest.¡± Qin Chen was both surprised and suspicious. He had not expected Phoenix City to have such a secret. The Immemorial Phoenixes were supreme existences that were on par with Immemorial Dragons. Of course, these were basically just legends. In this world, no one could live forever. Even the ancient great emperors would die of old age and pass away in time. However, every time Phoenix City absorbed the Starlight, Qin Chen could feel the Resurrection Technique in his body operating on its own. It resonated with Phoenix City as if it was responding to it. His cultivation base was slowly increasing again. Although it was not fast, it was continuous. Was Phoenix City really the egg of an Immemorial Phoenix that was reborn from Nirvana? That night, Qin Chen and Lord Dragon left the ancient palace they lived in and appeared on the streets. They saw that Phoenix City was rather lively. Countless cultivators from all over the East continent came. There were even cultivators from the central continent, the southern Wilderness, and the other four regions who had come from far away. All of them had come for the All Races Banquet. From this, it could be seen that the All Races Banquet this time had a great impact. After all, this concerned the attitude of the ten thousand ancient races toward the human race. Both Qin Chen and Lord Dragon had extraordinary cultivation, and no one could tell their true identity. They came to a tall building in the center of the city. It was one of the most famous restaurants in Phoenix City, Jade Garden. In the Jade Garden, one could see the towering Phoenix Heaven Palace in the center of the city. Its entire body was engraved with countless mysterious red patterns. It was the core of the city and also the location of the City Lord¡¯s residence. The hundred Tribes of the East continent had chosen to hold the All Races Banquet in the Phoenix Heaven Palace. Qin Chen and Lord Dragon had spent a lot of money to get a window seat on the top floor of the exquisite Phoenix Heaven Palace. From here, they could clearly see the towering Phoenix Heaven Palace in the center of the city. It was already the night of the All Race Banquet, so it was particularly lively. Countless forces in the world were paying close attention to it. The two of them didn¡¯t step into the Phoenix Heaven Palace directly. Even though Qin Chen was the person who the whale race wanted, he was still very cautious and planned to observe first. As the night grew darker, streaks of light came from all directions. They were at least Qiyao King and many Bahuang Venerables. They were all experts from the ten thousand ancient races. They came from all over the world and entered the Phoenix Heaven Palace one by one, preparing to participate in the All Races Banquet. There was no doubt that the human race was under immense pressure, as the top experts of the ten thousand ancient races were truly superior to the human race. At this moment, there was a sudden flash of blood-red light in the distance. It was accompanied by a powerful Sagely might. Ancient Sages had begun to descend, attracting the attention of countless people. Now that the ten thousand ancient races had appeared, many Ancient Sages had also appeared, and many had even fallen. However, for many of the cultivators, this was the first time they had seen the Ancient Sages with their own eyes. The majestic Sagely might made many cultivators feel as if a mountain was pressing down on them. They could not breathe as they looked in shock at the burly figure of the Ancient Sage, who was bathed in a bloody aura. ¡°It¡¯s the blood race¡¯s Zangming Ancient Sage. I didn¡¯t expect him to be the first Ancient Sage to arrive at the All Races Banquet!¡± Many cultivators in the Jade Garden gasped. They recognized the newcomer. It was Zangming Ancient Sage from the blood race. He had brought a group of cultivators from the blood race with him, and the bloody aura that they emitted was shocking. Zangming Ancient Sage did not enter the Phoenix Heaven Palace immediately. Instead, he looked at the stars falling from the nine Heavens and frowned imperceptibly. Then, he led the other experts into the Phoenix Heaven Palace. Not long after, the other Ancient Sages from the other races also arrived one by one. Their auras were shocking, and the entire area was filled with a sense of oppression. However, when they arrived in Phoenix City, they were silent and solemn, not as relaxed as they had been when they first arrived. Boom! Two 10 thousand-foot-long giant whale shadows appeared between heaven and earth, accompanied by an earth-shaking roar that deafened countless cultivators in the city. Many cultivators below the Liuhe realm even fainted from the roar. They were the Ancient Sages of the whale race. One of them glanced at the countless human cultivators who had fainted on the ground and sneered. ¡°The human race is really a lowly and weak race. I only shouted casually and many of them fainted. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that we all went into deep sleep after the immemorial era, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to rule this world. From today onwards, you should obediently hand over the boundless territory and let the ten thousand ancient races rule the world once more.¡± After saying that, he and the other Ancient Sage entered the Phoenix Heaven Palace together with the other mighty ones from the whale race, leaving the human cultivators in the city who did not dare to say anything. Qin Chen looked gloomily at the departing figure of the Ancient Sage of the whale race. He then turned to Lord Dragon and asked, ¡°How many Ancient Sages are there in the whale race? Are there any Sage Kings?¡± ¡°As far as I know, there are a total of seven Ancient Sages in the whale race,¡± the Dragon Master said. ¡°They¡¯re much stronger than the space race. They don¡¯t have a Sage King, but they have a quasi-Sage King at the peak of level 9 of Sage realm. It¡¯s very likely that he¡¯ll take the crucial step and become a Sage King in the next 100 years.¡± ¡°That means that there¡¯s no Sage King. How dare an ancient race being without a Sage King act so arrogantly?¡± Qin Chen laughed coldly. Another handsome figure that looked exactly the same rushed out from his body. The surrounding space distorted and no one could see it. He stood up and rushed into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Lord Dragon was not surprised to see Qin Chen¡¯s avatar. One could cultivate an avatar when one¡¯s cultivation reached a certain level, not to mention that the Sage Chen was a top Sage. He could naturally do it. ¡°Sage Chen, where is your avatar going?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s to slaughter the entire whale race.¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ve killed one of the seven Ancient Sages of the whale race. Now that there are two Ancient Sages here, the remaining four are left alone. I¡¯m going to sweep through their entire nest and wipe out all the whale race¡¯s men in their nest. I¡¯ll make these scums regret offending us humans.¡± Lord Dragon was stunned for a long time. There were still four Ancient Sages in the whale race, and one of them was a peak level 9 Sage realm quasi-Sage King, but Qin Chen still called them being alone. ¡°You have to be careful, Sage Chen,¡± he said anxiously. ¡°The tribe leader of the whale race is a quasi-Sage King. He¡¯s very powerful.¡± ¡°He¡¯s only a quasi-Sage King, not a true Sage King,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. He did not seem to mind at all as he continued to drink and observe everything that was happening in the Phoenix Heaven Palace. Lord Dragon opened his mouth. He was shocked at how arrogant Qin Chen was. He didn¡¯t even care about a quasi-Sage King. However, he didn¡¯t say anything more. Although he did not know what cultivation level Qin Chen was at, he knew that he was able to kill the Ancient Sages and Sage level Demon Kings of the pegasus race, destroy the four great Ancient Sages of the space race, and kill the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale. Speaking of which, Qin Chen, who had only been a Sage for a little more than ten years, had already killed seven great Ancient Sages in a row. Such an achievement could be said to be shocking. In the immemorial era, in the era where the great ancient emperors continued to rise, there were only a handful of them. Only the great ancient emperors had achieved this in their youth. Without a doubt, this young Chaos Sage in front of him had unknowingly reached the level of the ancient sovereign great emperor when he was young. Since he dared to create an avatar to attack the whale race, he was clearly confident that he could escape unscathed. Lord Dragon could only pray for the whale race. They were not to be trifled with, but they had actually provoked this Chaos Sage who had the bearing of a great emperor. How unlucky. Chapter 103 - The Massacre Without anyone knowing, Qin Chen¡¯s true body had left Phoenix City silently. Using the void divine altar, he instantly shattered the void and headed for the base camp of the whale race. The headquarters of the whale race was located in the Sky Ocean State, one of the 81 States of the East Land. Sky Ocean State, as its name suggested, was an astonishingly vast ocean with countless islands of various sizes scattered all over the land of Sky Ocean State. Boom! A large ship that was 100-foot long was sailing on the ocean. On the deck of the ship, there were hundreds of fishermen casting nets to catch fish. All of a sudden, an incomparably huge whale tail emerged from the deep sea. It covered the sky and overturned the huge ship. Thousands of humans were forced to fall into the sea. These were all mortals and few cultivators. They were all fishing in this Sea area. At this time, they were all very frightened and screamed, ¡°The sea monster has appeared!¡± They swam desperately to the broken pieces of the ship, looking for wooden planks to save their lives. However, a huge Whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface, swallowing all the struggling humans. Not long after, the whirlpool disappeared, and a huge body the size of an Island poked out. It was a giant whale, but it was too huge, and it let out a deep voice. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. This ship looks so big, but it only has about 3000 people on board. It¡¯s not even qualified to be a snack. We need to go further into the sea to hunt for humans.¡± Suddenly, the huge eyes of the whale saw a figure speeding across the sea with his hands behind his back. He looked calm and relaxed. A look of joy appeared on his face as he thought, ¡°This should be a human cultivator. I heard that the flesh and blood of human cultivators are delicious. This human cultivator should be pretty good, right? I have to try it.¡± Without a sound, the giant whale dove back into the sea and swam in the water. It quickly approached the human cultivator and opened its abyss-like mouth, ready to devour him. Boom! All of a sudden, the whale¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of fear, and then the 100-foot-long whale suddenly exploded in the water, its blood was dyeing the sea red. Among them, there were figures wrapped in bubbles and quickly floating to the surface of the sea. They were all the humans who had just been devoured by the giant whale. At this moment, they looked at the blood-stained sea in shock and felt a sense of fear after surviving a disaster. The figure speeding on the sea¡¯s surface said indifferently, ¡°A member of the whale race has appeared. This place shouldn¡¯t be far from the base camp of the whale race, Whale Island. However, the whale race is really bold. They actually dared to eat our human race.¡± Swoosh! His speed suddenly increased, and his figure disappeared in an instant. There was only a long trace of the sea that was split in half, and it did not close up for a long time. Wherever he went, blood would burst out of the sea from time to time, dyeing the sea red. The corpses of huge sea monsters appeared on the surface of the sea. They were huge whales that were hundreds of feet long. Their eyes were wide open, filled with unparalleled horror. They died with their eyes wide open. Not long after, an extremely huge island appeared in front of him. It looked like a super-huge ancient whale that had risen to the surface of the sea. It towered into the clouds and occupied half of his vision. The main camp of the whale race was on a huge island called Whale Island. The members of the race were all huge whales. The small ones were only 100 feet in size, while the big ones were thousands of feet long. They were about the same length as the Lord Dragon and were astonishingly huge. However, they were basically submerged in the ocean and only revealed a corner occasionally. They were all as huge as the island. There were also some of whale race members who had transformed into human forms and were cultivating on Whale Island. The cultivation environment on Whale Island was blessed by the heavens. There were many spiritual veins hidden underground and in the vast ocean, and there were even huge dragon veins flowing through them. Thus, after the whale race appeared, they quickly occupied this sea region and became the territory of the whale race. At this moment, a figure appeared on the surface of the sea. Like a sharp sword, it stabbed straight into Whale Island like lightning. ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± On the surface of the sea, giant whales emerged one after another, glaring at the rapidly approaching figure. Someone actually dared to offend Whale Island. He was definitely courting death. However, before the giant whales could do anything, beams of light suddenly burst out from the figure. Wherever the light passed, a giant whale would explode. Whether it was the weak tribesmen of the three talents and four symbols, or the top tribesmen of the seven luminaries eight desolation realm that were hundreds and thousands of long, they were all treated equally in front of these light beams. None of them were spared and they all exploded into minced meat. Naturally, the sudden change in the sea surface also alarmed the top powerhouses of the whale race on Whale Island. A 10 thousand-foot-long immemorial giant whale appeared in the sky, using the void as a vast ocean to block out the sun and sky. It glared at the figure who had killed so many of the whale race¡¯s clansmen, and its furious roar resounded through the heavens and earth. ¡°Damned human! Who are you? how dare you kill my people of the whale race?¡± As he spoke, he made a move and spat out a huge water bomb. It was wrapped in an extremely dense water-element path law. Once hit, a mountain ten thousand feet tall would be annihilated into powder in an instant, and it could kill ordinary Venerables. He was a top Venerable of the whale race who had reached level 7 of Bahuang realm. However, the figure casually flicked his sleeve, and the three-thousand-foot-wide water bomb flew back at an even more terrifying speed. It landed heavily on the body of the whale race venerable and exploded. The whale¡¯s skin and flesh were torn open, and its blood dyed the ground below red. It had been injured by its own attack, and it couldn¡¯t help but reveal a look of horror. ¡°You, you¡¯re a human Sage!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He pointed his finger in the air, and a finger force pierced through the sky, piercing through the whale¡¯s head. Even its divine sense was destroyed. ¡°Who is it? How dare you attack the headquarters of the whale race!¡± A thunderous voice came from Whale Island and resounded through the world. Qin Chen¡¯s figure stood in the void like a javelin, looking at the giant whale figures that covered the sky on Whale Island. The smallest was 10 thousand-foot-long, and some were even longer. They were unbelievably huge, and there was a faint holy might spreading from them. ¡°Exterminate the whale race!¡± Qin Chen opened his mouth and shouted. He suddenly soared into the sky and arrived on Whale Island in an instant. A shocking holy aura suddenly bloomed and swept across the sky. At the same time, a sword ray shot out, reaching far and wide. One after another, the immemorial giant whales fell from the sky and crashed into the ground, creating huge pits. There were huge bloody holes on their heads, and blood gushed out like a fountain. However, they were all silent. They had been killed. Some of the Ancient Sages from the whale race were furious and attacked Qin Chen. However, the finger force pierced through his head and just like the other immemorial giant whales that fell to the ground, his soul was destroyed and he died. The world was silent. Even an Ancient Sage could not withstand a single blow and was killed. This person was actually so terrifying! Chapter 104 - Dont Offend Humans In the blink of an eye, one of the Ancient Sages of the whale race was killed. The entire whale race was shocked. Who was this person that was so terrifying? ¡°He¡¯s so strong!¡± ¡°Although Qiong Lang is only an ordinary Ancient Sage in our race, he¡¯s still a level 3 Sage realm expert. Even a level 7 super Sage can¡¯t kill him in one strike!¡± Two of the Ancient Sages of the whale race had headed to Phoenix City to participate in the All Races Banquet, while the other five remained on Whale Island. Now that one of them had been killed, there were only four Ancient Sages left. However, Qin Chen could only sense three Ancient Sages, and the strongest one was only level 7. Obviously, the most powerful quasi-Sage King of the whale race was not here. ¡°This person is very strong. He most likely caught Qiong Lang off guard and killed him. Otherwise, even I wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him in one strike,¡± one of the Ancient Sages from the whale race thought to himself. He was a level 7 super Sage. He looked at Qin Chen deeply, but he was not afraid. His Sagely might was far greater than the other two Ancient Sages. He opened his mouth and spat out a bone spear that was also 10 thousand-foot-long. The bone spear stabbed toward Qin Chen like lightning. As a super Sage, he didn¡¯t waste time talking to the attacker. He just needed to kill him. The other party had dared to kill so many of the whale race¡¯s clansmen. No matter who it was, he would definitely need to die. This was a Sage Spear made from the bones of a Sage King. It was held by this super Sage of the whale race, and it carried many Sage path laws. It stabbed toward Qin Chen, shattering the void wherever it passed. Instead of retreating, Qin Chen pushed forward and collided with the Sage Spear. The void collapsed on a large scale! At this moment, the Sage Spear suddenly trembled. Not only was it blocked, but dense cracks also appeared on the spear, causing the experts of the whale race to be greatly alarmed! Boom! In the next moment, the Sage Spear exploded and Qin Chen¡¯s figure appeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the super Sage of the whale race. His eyes reflected the other party¡¯s shocked expression, as if he couldn¡¯t believe that there was someone who could block his peerless attack, shatter his weapon, and appear in front of him. However, he was a super Sage after all, and his cultivation was no weaker than anyone else¡¯s. He let out a long roar, and his Sagely might surged. The Sagely might that only belonged to him suddenly exploded. He performed a Sage level supernormal knowledge at the ultimate level and attacked Qin Chen. Boom! In just the first exchange, the head of the whale race¡¯s super Sage had been blown off by Qin Chen¡¯s Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. He transformed into his original body, which was 7 thousand to 8 thousand feet long. Blood light filled the sky as he fell to the ground, dyeing the sea red. It was quite shocking. The whale race¡¯s super Sage had been killed before Qin Chen even knew his name. Such a scene was truly shocking. Everyone looked at him in shock, and only the sound of cold gasps could be heard. Even the level 7 super Sage was killed, and the remaining two were the Ancient Sages of the whale race were no match for Qin Chen. Qin Chen was about to continue his attack. All of a sudden, a shocking Sagely might that surpassed all the other Ancient Sages burst forth, shaking the earth. A 10 thousand-foot-long shadow of an ancient whale appeared in the sky. It was filled with an unimaginably terrifying pressure, causing the void to distort. Many of the whale race¡¯s members knelt on the ground and worshipped it. Their eyes were filled with passion, as if they were worshiping a God. The patriarch of the whale race, a level 9 Sage realm quasi-Sage King, had appeared! At this point, the number one expert of the race, the current leader of the whale race, could no longer sit back and had appeared personally. The surging Sagely might spread out for a thousand miles, and even the turbulent ocean calmed down as it was suppressed by an invisible, mysterious power. Qin Chen raised his head and looked at the tall and burly figure. It was the leader of the whale race. He had transformed into a human form, but the 10 thousand-foot-long shadow of the terrifying immemorial giant whale was constantly appearing, giving off an unparalleled sense of oppression. ¡°We welcome the king coming out of seclusion!¡± On Whale Island, the tens of thousands of whale race members were either in a worshiping posture on the surface of the sea or in human form, full of piety. ¡°Patriarch!¡± The two Ancient Sages of the whale race felt as if they had just escaped death, and they quickly rushed to the side of their leader. The leader of the whale race was half-naked and his hair was disheveled. He looked at Qin Chen coldly. When he saw the two abnormally huge immemorial giant whale corpses on the island, he was completely silent. His eyes were filled with endless anger and his voice was exceptionally cold. ¡°Well, well, well. You have the guts to come to the Whale Island alone, enter the base camp of my whale race, and kill so many of my clansmen along the way, as well as two Ancient Sages. Human, you sure are gutsy.¡± The leader was extremely angry. A Trident appeared in his hand, shining with a blue light. He waved it at Qin Chen, and a terrifying Sage power instantly cut through the void, slashing toward Qin Chen like a dimensional slash. As soon as he appeared, the tribe leader attacked Qin Chen without saying a word. A 10 thousand-foot-long halberd light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, heaven and earth were split into two. Without a doubt, the cultivation of this whale race leader was far stronger than that of the super Sage who had just been killed. He was indeed worthy of being called a quasi-Sage King. However, Qin Chen had never been afraid. He raised his head to witness the halberd light rapidly approaching, and said indifferently, ¡°Those who offend the human race must be killed, no matter how far away they are!¡± Phoenix City. As time passed, more and more experts from the ten thousand ancient races entered the Phoenix Heaven Palace. Those who were invited to the All Races Banquet were basically all powerful races of the ten thousand ancient races. Even if they weren¡¯t one of the top 100 powerful races, they were still extraordinary races with Ancient Sages. Their foundations couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Half a day had passed. At this point, there were no less than ten Ancient Sages from the ten thousand ancient races gathered in the Phoenix Heaven Palace. There were also many Venerables and Kings. The lineup was shocking, causing the human cultivators in Phoenix City to feel a strong sense of suffocation. The ten thousand ancient races were simply too powerful. They had sent over ten Ancient Sages for just a single All Races Banquet. On the other hand, even though the human race had sent over quite a few immortal inheritances, they had only sent their Venerables at most. There were no Sages at all. How were they supposed to deal with the ten thousand ancient races? In Jade Garden, many cultivators were discussing worriedly. ¡°This is bad. There are more than ten Ancient Sages from the other races, but not a single Sage from the human race has appeared.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the human Sage who destroyed the space race? Why isn¡¯t he here yet? If he¡¯s here, the morale of the human race will be greatly boosted!¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible that he won¡¯t be coming back. One of the main objectives of this All Races Banquet is that the ten thousand ancient races really wants to kill him. Don¡¯t forget that this human Sage annihilated the entire space race. A total of four Ancient Sages were completely annihilated, and even the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale was killed by the trump card he left behind. He won¡¯t be able to escape in time, so there¡¯s a high chance he won¡¯t come.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The two Ancient Sages from the whale race are eyeing him covetously. Once that human Sage arrives, the whale race will most likely instigate the other Ancient Sages to gang up on him. I don¡¯t wish for him to come at this stage, or else it¡¯ll be disastrous.¡± Chapter 105 - Arrival of Human Sages At Jade Garden. Qin Chen¡¯s avatar was still drinking, silently looking at the Phoenix Heaven Palace. He watched as the ancient race members arrived one after another. In the building, many cultivators discussed animatedly. They all hoped that the human Sage who had exterminated the space race would not come. They were worried that the various races would take the opportunity to attack the human Sage and take revenge. Some people were worried about him, but there were also others who expressed completely different views. They were very angry and scolded, ¡°How can he not come? The reason why the ancient races are holding this banquet is to target him. It¡¯s because this human Sage destroyed the space race and killed the Ancient Sage Demonic Whale that all the ancient races are targeting the human race. They¡¯ve even spread the word that they¡¯re going to exterminate the human race.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for him, the whale race wouldn¡¯t have retaliated against the human race, the ten thousand ancient races wouldn¡¯t have been enraged, and the All Races Banquet wouldn¡¯t have happened. In my opinion, that fellow had better step forward and bear the responsibility alone!¡± ¡°If he doesn¡¯t come out, he¡¯s a coward. I¡¯ll scold him for the rest of his life!¡± Obviously, these people all thought that if it weren¡¯t for that human Sage, the All Races Banquet wouldn¡¯t have been held, and the human race wouldn¡¯t have been targeted by the ten thousand ancient races. This made many cultivators in Jade Garden angry and they argued with them. ¡°These people are ridiculing me!¡± Lord Dragon was furious. He really wanted to slap these people to death with one hand. Although he wasn¡¯t a human, he could see Qin Chen¡¯s actions clearly. If it weren¡¯t for Qin Chen, the space race would be too powerful. If their plan to force the few immortal Holy Lands to leave had succeeded, the other ancient races would most likely follow suit. The human race would then be suppressed from all sides by the ancient races and would be in a very bad situation. Of course, the main reason was that Lord Dragon was on Qin Chen¡¯s side. ¡°Don¡¯t do anything.¡± Qin Chen shook his head. ¡°Why? Why are these people slandering you? If it weren¡¯t for you, the space race wouldn¡¯t be any weaker than the whale race,¡± Lord Dragon said hatefully. ¡°I mean, I¡¯ll deal with these guys myself,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, causing Lord Dragon to be stunned. Although Qin Chen had become a Sage, that was only his cultivation realm. His personality had never been that of a Sage or a gentleman. Although he was afraid of trouble and had been hiding, not many people knew his true character, but it did not mean that he was willing to be slandered by others. He gently slapped out, and without a sound, an undetectable wave of Chaotic Divine Power hit the people who had been targeting Qin Chen. It directly tore open their divine seas and destroyed their meridians. ¡°Ah!¡± The few people who were targeting Qin Chen immediately screamed. A large amount of divine power leaked out, and their cultivation levels plummeted. In a short period of time, including the two Liuhe realm grandmasters, there were seven people who had lost their cultivation that had taken them hundreds of years to cultivate. This made many people shudder, but they also felt great joy and even excitement. This meant that the mysterious human Sage who had exterminated the space race was here. Did he really come? At first, there were some people who wanted to blame Qin Chen for his actions, but now that they saw that those who had blamed him had become crippled and were living a life worse than death, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They looked around nervously, afraid that the mysterious human Sage would suddenly attack them. ¡°What?¡± Suddenly, Qin Chen looked up at the sky and said softly, ¡°One of the human race¡¯s Sages has finally arrived!¡± At this moment, the might of a Sage was vast, and an Ancient Sage stepped into the Phoenix Heaven Palace. He was dressed in a white robe, had a thin face, and carried a long sword on his back. His expression was solemn as he led a group of experts from the Holy Lands into the Phoenix Heaven Palace. Even the current Holy Lord could only follow behind him. This immediately caused many humans to exclaim, ¡°He¡¯s Ancient Sage Ming Jian, a Sage from the Thousand Sword Sanctum 30 thousand years ago. I didn¡¯t expect him to be in a deep sleep instead of dying. Naturally, many human cultivators recognized the human Sage and cheered. The other Ancient Sages of the human race had finally appeared. At the same time, another streak of light appeared from the horizon. It was an old man in a white robe. His hair was white, and he looked like a child. He looked at Ancient Sage Ming Jian, laughed and said, ¡°Ming Jian, I didn¡¯t expect you to still be alive.¡± Ancient Sage Ming Jian smiled and said, ¡°Bing Xuan, aren¡¯t you still alive as well?¡± It was obvious that both of them knew each other. Through the exclamations of the crowd, Qin Chen and the Lord Dragon knew that the Ancient Sage who had come was the mysterious Ancient Sage Bing Xuan from the Ice Palace. He was also an Ancient Sage from the same era as Ancient Sage Ming Jian. He had also chosen to go into hibernation before the end of his lifespan. Because of the appearance of the various ancient races, he had chosen to appear as well. Other than the old City Lord, the appearance of two human Ancient Sages boosted the morale of the humans. Very quickly, another expert from the immortal divine dynasty appeared. Similarly, he was an Ancient Sage who led the way, leading the experts into the Phoenix Heaven Palace. At this moment, a dragon¡¯s roar filled the sky, attracting attention. They saw that Qin Feng had actually arrived. Behind him was a group of powerful cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty. Among them, there were a few elders from the royal family. They even saw an old man who was on the verge of death. He clearly did not have much time left in his life, but his Sagely aura was still exuding. He was an Ancient Sage. Clearly, this was the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty, and a slumbering Ancient Sage had appeared. However, Qin Chen was surprised. He did not expect the Great Qin Dynasty to come, let alone an Ancient Sage. One had to know that the imperial seal had been lent to him. He could not understand the actions of the Great Qin Dynasty. The appearance of three human Ancient Sages in a row had undoubtedly boosted the morale of the humans. ¡°Three Ancient Sages of the human race have appeared. Although we are still less Ancient Sages than the other races, there are Ancient Sages from the immortal divine dynasty this time. They are the descendants of the ancient great emperor. If they bring the extreme emperor weapon, they will be able to kill anyone in their way!¡± A cultivator in Jade Garden sounded excited. The extreme emperor weapon was the ultimate killing weapon of the ancient great emperor. Once it was activated, countless Ancient Sages would be turned into ashes. ¡°Even though the immortal divine dynasty the human race is here, we don¡¯t know if the ancient royal families of the ancient races are here as well,¡± some cultivators said worriedly. The ancient royal families were the descendants of the supreme beings who could match the royal families of the human race. This worry was not without reason. Suddenly, Qin Chen stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s prepare to enter the Phoenix Heaven Palace.¡± Lord Dragon was slightly stunned. He looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. ¡°Sage Chen, could it be that you¡¯ve already¡­¡± One had to know that this was the whale race. They were much stronger than the space and the pegasus race. They even had a quasi-Sage King at the peak of the Sage realm. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen nodded. Lord Dragon stood up and looked at Phoenix Heaven Palace. This time, the All Races Banquet held by the hundred clans of the East Land might be a bad idea¡­ Chapter 106 - Appearance The Phoenix Heaven Palace was very spacious and decorated with carved beams and painted rafters. It was a magnificent and majestic sight. Many thrones were placed inside, and people from the City Lord¡¯s mansion were entertaining guests from all over. When Qin Chen and Lord Dragon stepped into the Phoenix Heaven Palace, the City Lord¡¯s mansion was immediately alarmed. The current City Lord of Phoenix City, a senior Bahuang Venerable, personally came out to welcome the two of them with great hospitality. Not only did he recognize Lord Dragon, the Venerable of the dragon race, but he also saw Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s body was surrounded by a clear light and emanated a trace of Sagely might. It was shocking. He was a Sage. Without a doubt, Qin Chen¡¯s appearance at the All Races Banquet as a Sage added one more Sage to the human. Phoenix City Lord was rather excited, but he didn¡¯t recognize Qin Chen immediately. ¡°This is the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land and the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. And he is also a Sage,¡± Lord Dragon said. Phoenix City Lord suddenly became respectful. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that there¡¯s an Elder King in the Taiyi Holy Land. His cultivation prowess is unfathomable, and everyone says that he¡¯s a Bahuang Venerable. I only know now that the Elder King is also a Sage.¡± He sighed from the bottom of his heart. How many Sages were there today? For example, there were more than a dozen ancient Sages present. Whether they belonged to humans or the various races in the primordial era, all of them were ancient Sages in deep sleep or Sages being sealed from the primordial era or other eras. However, the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was a true Sage who had proven his way and became a Sage, so he could not be disrespected. Those who could become Sages in the Dharma-Ending Age were all legendary geniuses. Phoenix City Lord personally led them into the hall. At this moment, both Qin Chen and Lord Dragon noticed that on the main seat at the front of the hall was a Human Sage with white hair and a ruddy complexion. They had never heard of him before. However, Lord Dragon was a Dragon Venerable who had lived for more than a thousand years. He was naturally knowledgeable. He said to Qin Chen, ¡°This is an old City Lord of Phoenix City from 2000 years ago. I thought he had passed away. I didn¡¯t expect him to be alive.¡± The old City Lord of Phoenix City had disappeared for many years and was thought to have passed away in meditation. No one expected him to be alive and become a Sage. However, if humans didn¡¯t have a Sage in this situation, they wouldn¡¯t be able to control the entire All Races Banquet. With no other choice, the City Lord invited the old City Lord, who had been cultivating in seclusion for thousands of years, to take charge of the banquet before the other three ancient Human Sages arrived. However, even though the old City Lord of Phoenix City, a Sage, had personally come out to take charge, the ancient races¡¯ attitude still didn¡¯t change much. But with the appearance of the other three ancient Human Sages, the attitudes of the ten thousand ancient races had also changed. Under the Phoenix City Lord¡¯s lead, Qin Chen and the other man naturally came to the human side and sat down. In the hall, the ancient race cultivators sat on one side, and the human cultivators sat on the other. However, the number of top experts was clearly very different. There were 13 ancient Sages from the ancient races, and there were even many Venerables and Kings. On the other hand, humans only had four ancient Sages and eight Venerables. Although there were many Kings, all of them had solemn expressions without a hint of a smile on their faces. At this moment, one could clearly see that the experts of the various ancient races all had arrogant expressions, not putting the experts of humans in their eyes. However, when they saw Qin Chen, their expressions darkened. Another ancient Human Sage had arrived. This was already the fifth! Although the number was still less than 13, or even less than half of the number, they were all ancient Human Sages, so it was still a considerable number. On the other hand, the humans were shocked, especially the four ancient Sages. They had never heard of this Human Sage before, but that didn¡¯t stop them from approaching him enthusiastically. At this moment, the Human Sages were all united. The four ancient Sages stepped forward. ¡°Hello, my friend!¡± The four humans laughed and treated Qin Chen as an equal. Only Sages were qualified to be treated as an equal by them. Qin Chen nodded at the four humans. Before they could ask about his identity, the experts of the Great Qin Dynasty stepped forward and greeted him with passion in their eyes.¡±Greetings, Minister!¡± The others thought, ¡°Minister?¡± The other human experts were astonished. At this moment, Emperor Qin Feng stepped forward and took the initiative to say, ¡°Everyone, this is the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. He is also the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. Of course, he is also my master.¡± Hearing this, the others came to a sudden realization and were also shocked. Many of them had heard that there was a peerless expert in the Taiyi Holy Land who was named the Elder King. He was truly above all and had killed Demonic Venerable. His cultivation was extraordinary. He even made a move in the coup of the change of power in the Great Qin Dynasty, killing Withered Leaf Venerable and displaying his extraordinary skills. However, everyone only thought that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was a Bahuang Venerable. Now, they knew that he had already become a Sage. At the same time, they paid their respects to him. In the Dharma-Ending Age, one could imagine how extraordinary it was to become a Sage. ¡°This is the ancestor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ancient Sage Jing Tian. He was a legendary Sage from 30 thousand years ago.¡± Qin Feng took the initiative to introduce the ancient Sage of the Great Qin Dynasty to Qin Chen. Even though Ancient Sage Jing Tian was nearing the end of his life, his eyes were as bright as the sword light, and his title was extraordinary. He smiled and said, ¡°I never thought that there would be someone who could become a Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age. Young man, you are indeed talented and will be feared in the future.¡± The current era was different from the era they were in. Although the world changed after the primordial era, it did not immediately enter the Dharma-Ending Age. In fact, there were many subsequent eras where the world recovered, allowing humans to become Sages and even prove their path and become an emperor. However, after the later-ancient era, the world changed greatly and entered the Dharma-Ending Age. It was extremely difficult to even become a Bahuang Venerable, let alone become a Sage. The saying that there were no Sages in the world was enough to explain many things. All the Sages that appeared today were ancient Sages. To be able to become a Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age, he was definitely a genius. The old City Lord of Phoenix City, Ancient Sage Ming Jian, and Ancient Sage Bing Xuan were also shocked and elated. Now that there was a human who could become the Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age, it meant that he had an extraordinary aptitude. With the world gradually recovering, he might be able to break through the shackles of limits and advance further. This would allow humans to have a greater say in the face of the ten thousand ancient races. Qin Chen looked at the smiling ancient Sage in front of him. He did not know how to address him. In terms of seniority, the other party was his ancestor. However, he was currently hiding his identity and was a Sage, so the other party didn¡¯t know and treated him as a fellow. Helplessly, Qin Chen had no choice but to say, ¡°Jing Tian, you must be joking. I was just lucky to become a Sage.¡± Immediately after, Qin Chen glanced at Qin Feng as if asking him why he had come. As the emperor, Qin Feng naturally understood Qin Chen¡¯s intentions. He said, ¡°Our ancestor can¡¯t stand the way the ancient races do things. He wants to come here personally to teach them a lesson. He wants them to know that this is no longer the time when humans declined in the primordial era. Today, human is the number one in the world.¡± At that moment, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with respect as he looked at Ancient Sage Jing Tian. Chapter 107 - : Against Humans The fact that the sleeping Ancient Sage Jing Tian was still able to come personally despite the Great Qin Dynasty granting Qin Chen the imperial seal meant that the Great Qin Dynasty still valued the All Races Banquet and the status of humans. This was the true inheritance of the human King. The experts from the various ancient races frowned slightly when they saw Qin Chen, the fifth Human Sage, arrive. When they learned from the words that this was not the ancient Human Sage sealed and sleeping before but a Sage who had attained the great path and became a Sage, they could not help but look highly of him. This was especially so when they recalled that a dozen years ago, there had been a human who had rushed into outer realm space to undergo the lightning trial and become a Sage. The Sagely heavenly tribulation was extraordinary, and it had even provoked the ancient Sages of the fiend race to attack. They had wanted to kill him, but they had been forced back. Was he the mysterious Human Sage who had become a Sage in this era? The 13 ancient Sages looked at Qin Chen with sharp gazes, wanting to see through the clear light on his body and figure out his identity. However, the clear light was derived from the Chaotic Divine Power. It blocked everything, and even ancient Sages could not penetrate it. But the ancient Sages of the ancient races did not suspect that Qin Chen was the one who had exterminated the space race. Although the Human Sage before them was mysterious, it was suspected that he had only attained the path and become a Sage a dozen years ago. Perhaps becoming a Sage in this Dharma-Ending Age meant that he was extraordinary, but in the end, he had only been a Sage for a very short time. He did not have the power to kill the four ancient Sages of the space race and was not a match for the space race. At this moment, the 13 ancient Sages of the ancient races suddenly caught sight of Lord Dragon beside them. After sensing carefully, they could not help but reveal a look of surprise. The other ancient race experts also recognized Lord Dragon¡¯s identity, and their haughty expressions immediately disappeared. Even the ancient Sages did not act too arrogantly. On the contrary, they smiled warmly and looked at Lord Dragon.¡±So people of the dragon race are here.¡± At all times, the dragon race had always been at the very top among the ten thousand ancient races. The ancient races could ignore humans and even the ancient Human Sages, but they could not ignore Lord Dragon. Even if Lord Dragon was only in the Bahuang realm, the identity of a dragon race member was an absolute symbol of honor to the ten thousand ancient races. It was not inferior to the identity of the ancient imperial clan. Lord Dragon was not too arrogant toward these ancient Sages of the ancient races. He greeted them one by one. Naturally, there were many experts from the ancient races inviting Lord Dragon to sit with them, and the seats they arranged were not inferior to the seats of the ancient Sages. This showed that they valued Lord Dragon, but they were all rejected by Lord Dragon. Lord Dragon then went to the seats of the human with Qin Chen. Although these ancient race experts were surprised that Lord Dragon was willing to sit with humans, their expressions only darkened, and they were not angry. In the end, although Lord Dragon was strong, he was only a Bahuang Venerable and not a Jiutian Sage. They had only greeted him out of respect for the ancient dragon race. ¡°It seems like the ancient races truly don¡¯t put humans in their eyes.¡± Qin Chen thought to himself as he observed the ancient race experts¡¯ completely different attitudes towards the humans and the dragon race. He then sneered. When his true form returned, the expressions of the ancient race members would probably change completely. After Qin Chen sat down, a few more ancient races arrived. By the time the banquet started, there were already more than 200 ancient races coming. There were also 21 ancient Sages. Without a doubt, this was an extremely shocking number of Sages. Even though a few ancient Human Sages arrived later, there were only seven of them in total. It was only a third of the Sages of the various ancient races, which was a huge difference. An ancient Sage from the ancient races began to speak. ¡°Humans are so weak. They don¡¯t even have many Sages. How can they rule this vast world?¡± This ancient Sage from the whale race was extremely burly. Even in his human form, he was about seven meters tall. He was like a small mountain as he sat on a throne and looked down at the human cultivators in front of him. He mocked them without mercy. Lord Dragon knew of many ancient Sages from the ten thousand ancient races. Through his introduction, Qin Chen immediately knew that this person was Ancient Sage Dang Hai from the whale race. He could not help but look at this man. Lord Dragon felt something in his heart as he looked at Ancient Sage Dang Hai with a look of pity. Ancient Sage Dang Hai probably did not know what was happening in the headquarters of the whale race. In the hall, many human cultivators were angry but didn¡¯t dare to say anything because it was true. The number of ancient Human Sages was simply too low compared to the number of ancient Sages in ancient races. This was only a small portion of the ten thousand ancient races that had come to participate in the All Races Banquet. In the past, even if there weren¡¯t ten thousand, there were at least a few thousand sleeping ancient races. The number of races was staggering. The All Races Banquet, as its name suggested, should have been attended by all the races, but only more than 200 ancient races came. They were only a small portion of the ten thousand ancient races, yet 21 ancient Sages had come. One could only imagine the gap between humans and the ten thousand ancient races. Now, many human cultivators hoped that some other reclusive peerless Human Sage would stand out and put pressure on the various ancient races. For example, the mysterious Sage who had exterminated the space race. But at the same time, they didn¡¯t want him to come. This was because the main purpose of the All Races Banquet was to deal with that mysterious Sage. If that mysterious Sage really did come, he might be attacked by all the ancient Sages of the ancient races present. Very quickly, under the host of the old City Lord of Phoenix City, the All Races Banquet began. The Phoenix Heaven Palace was very spacious, but it was also filled with experts from various ancient races and humans. There was not much space. ¡°It¡¯s an honor to be able to host the All Races Banquet in the Phoenix Heaven Palace,¡± the old City Lord of Phoenix City said. ¡°At the same time, I hope that humans can live in peace with the ancient races. With the recovery of the world, many of the ancient races have emerged and have come into conflict with humans in various aspects. This All Races Banquet can be a good opportunity to mediate the conflict between humans and the ancient races.¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible to mediate the conflict between the ancient races and humans. The purpose of holding the All Races Banquet this time is to gather the opinions of the ancient races on how to deal with the current era. However, humans now occupied the endless world and wanted to dominate the world. This was absolutely impossible. Humans did not have the right to do so. In the primordial era, humans could only survive by looking up to us. Now that we have returned, humans will have to give up all their land and just occupy a million miles.¡± Ancient Sage Dang Hai of the whale race was the first to speak, and the first thing he did was target humans. Of course, more importantly, Ancient Sage Dang Hai was the blood brother of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale. The death of the ancient Sage Demonic Whale caused Ancient Sage Dang Hai to view humans with extreme hatred. Even this All Races Banquet was held by him on his own accord. His goal was to target humans. Chapter 108 - Humans Power and Qin Chens Return Many of the ancient race experts present immediately agreed with Ancient Sage Dang Hai¡¯s words. Those who had been invited to the All Races Banquet were basically all strong races with hardlines. Only the silver feather race and a few other ancient races were neutral. The humans¡¯ expressions suddenly changed. Ancient Sage Ming Jian said with a frown, ¡°Everyone, while our humans are willing to live in peace with the ancient races, that doesn¡¯t mean that we¡¯ll live in the same way we did in the primordial era. We won¡¯t have to bow down to the ancient races. After the primordial era, humans developed and gave birth to one human emperor after another. We developed a prosperous cultivation civilization and immortal legacies. This meant that humans were no longer the weak race of the primordial era. After the primordial era, the ancient races went into hibernation while humans dominated the world. Now that the ten thousand ancient races have appeared, we are naturally willing to give up our land for the ancient races to develop. However, if we only have a radius of a million miles, we can not agree. Please think twice before acting.¡± ¡°Everyone, humans are not weak. We¡¯re also very sincere about this banquet. We hope that we can coexist peacefully with the other races!¡± Ancient Sage Bing Xuan said. The two ancient Human Sages expressed their respective opinions and were willing to coexist peacefully with the various ancient races. However, if the various ancient races still thought that humans were still a weak race like before that relied on them to survive, they would be gravely mistaken. Their attitudes were rather peaceful, but their meaning was clear. Ancient Sage Dang Hai said coldly, ¡°If you humans are so sincere about living in peace with the ancient races, then you just give up the four major regions and only remain one region. We¡¯ll occupy the four regions. That way, we¡¯ll be able to see your sincerity!¡± All humans¡¯ expressions changed. The ancient races were so cruel that they wanted to take over the four regions. This way, billions of humans would only be forced to occupy one region. The four immortal divine dynasties and the various immortal inheritance would all be squeezed into one region. How could the human-divine dynasties, holy lands, and aristocratic families bear it? At this time, another hardliner of the ancient races also said, ¡°Humans have occupied such a vast territory, but only a few Sages have been born. This explains everything. Humans are too weak and can¡¯t occupy such a vast area. At most, they can only occupy one region. Otherwise, when the other ancient races or even the ancient imperial clans appear, they¡¯ll have no more territory to occupy and will inevitably start a war with humans. You humans should think twice before acting.¡± There was a threatening tone in his words. This made the human experts¡¯ expressions turn ugly. This was a threat! However, many human experts did not dare to voice their anger. Even though Ancient Sage Jing Tian was on the verge of death, his attitude was still extremely domineering. He said, ¡°Everyone from the ancient races, if you really want to force our humans to this point, we can only choose to start a war.¡± The entire hall was silent. Countless eyes turned to look at Ancient Sage Jing Tian. The ancient Sage of the immortal divine dynasty was calm, but he had a hint of the might of the imperial clan. Ancient Sage Dang Hai was not afraid at all. He sneered and said, ¡°If you humans really want to start a war, then so be it. However, even though you humans currently occupy the world, you are all pitifully weak ants. How can you contend with the ten thousand ancient races?¡± After all, the way of thinking of the ancient races was still stuck in the primordial era, and they had never truly taken seriously at humans. Once the war started, they didn¡¯t think that humans could fight against the other races. They thought humans would definitely be suppressed. One had to know that many ancient Sages from the ancient races had fallen into a deep sleep. But in this era, they were all gradually awakening. Humans had only a few Sages and were far from comparable. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, just get ready. Our humans have an imperial clan, and we¡¯re ready to take out the extreme emperor weapon to wage war against the other races!¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian said. The experts of the hundred races all paled at this. All the races present knew that humans rose to prominence after the primordial era, and many ancient emperors were born. They were great existences that were on the same level as the primordial emperor. Once the extreme emperor weapon was taken out, it was equivalent to the awakening of the primordial emperor. Everything would be suppressed, and nothing would be spared.¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian was warning the other races that if war were to break out, humans would have no fear. Ancient Sage Dang Hai¡¯s face darkened as well. He glared at Ancient Sage Jing Tian and said, ¡°Human, are you threatening our ancient races?¡± ¡°You can think of it that way,¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian replied. ¡°Humph, humans are really arrogant. Do you really think you are the number one race?¡± Ancient Sage Dang Hai harrumphed coldly. ¡°You humans have an imperial clan, but there¡¯s an ancient imperial clan among the ten thousand ancient races as well. They also have the extreme imperial weapon of the primordial emperor. Once the extreme weapons go to war, there¡¯s a chance that the extreme emperor weapon of you humans will be shattered!¡± ¡°Our humans will wait!¡± After saying that, Ancient Sage Jing Tian fell silent. The atmosphere in the Phoenix Heaven Palace instantly became tense. The war between humans and the ancient races could break out at any moment. The ancient Sages of the ancient races all had serious expressions, but they all seemed very powerful. A total of 16 ancient Sages stood out at the same time and stared coldly at the seven Human Sages. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you humans should be prepared to be destroyed by the ten thousand ancient races!¡± Ancient Sage Dang Hai sneered. ¡°You humans are truly foolish. However, that¡¯s good. There are countless humans today, and it¡¯s a good time for our whale race to devour them to grow stronger.¡± There was a hint of greed in his eyes as he spoke, especially when he stared at the seven Human Sages. The whale race loved to eat humans, and the blood of human cultivators was even more delicious for them. He could imagine how delicious it would be to be able to eat the seven Human Sages in front of him. It might even make his cultivation prowess advance by leaps and bounds in a short time, and he might even break through to the Sage King level. Boom! All of a sudden, the Phoenix Heaven Palace trembled. A figure walked in from the outside. He was surrounded by strands of chaotic light and was extraordinary. He stepped into the Phoenix Heaven Palace calmly. He was also a Human Sage, but his aura was extremely powerful. All the ancient Sages present were shocked. ¡°This aura indicates that he¡¯s above level seven. He¡¯s a super Sage!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually a super Sage among humans!¡± The ancient races were shocked. A super Sage at level seven of the Sage realm was countable even among the ten thousand ancient races. The Chaotic Sage who had arrived was naturally Qin Chen¡¯s true form. He had just returned from the East Land. His cold eyes swept across the ancient Sages from the hundred ancient races in the Phoenix Heaven Palace, especially the two ancient Sages from the whale race. He threw out a few human-shaped heads that exuded Sagely might and said coldly, ¡°If you ancient races insist on starting a war with humans to destroy us, you¡¯d better be prepared to be destroyed by us.¡± Chapter 109 - Extermination A few heads fell in front of the ancient races. When they saw these heads, they were shocked because the aura they gave off was that of the sage realm. There were a total of five heads here, which meant that five Ancient Sages had been beheaded. Two of the heads emitted an extremely powerful aura that was beyond ordinary Sages. They were super Sages above the seventh heaven. Especially when they saw the largest head, they found the Sagely might was particularly strong. Even if there was only a dead head left, it still made everyone present feel a terrible sense of oppression. They could even vaguely sense traces of the Sage King¡¯s might that surpassed the sage realm! All of a sudden, Ancient Sage Dang Hai and the other Ancient Sage of whale race were horrified. ¡°No, impossible, how could something have happened to the race king?¡± The other ancient race Ancient Sages were all stunned, but after careful observation, they were all terrified. Those five heads were the auras of whale race¡¯s Ancient Sages. However, it was precisely this that made people feel fear. This was because all the races in the primordial era knew how powerful whale race was. They were even stronger than space race. There were seven Ancient Sages in their race, and their King was a quasi-Sage King at the peak of the sage realm. He was extremely powerful. However, he had been beheaded here, and so had the other Ancient Sages of whale race. The various ancient races were suddenly overwhelmed with fear. It was clear that whale race had been exterminated without a sound, leaving only the members of whale race who had come to All Races Banquet. However, they didn¡¯t know about this, and the news of whale race had never spread to the outside world. It was only announced to the world now that a super Sage of humans had arrived. The ancient races all looked at the super Sage as if they were facing a tough enemy. ¡°Who is this person? He could even kill the race king of whale race who was at the peak of the sage realm. Could he be the human Sage who had exterminated space race?¡± they thought. Ancient Sage Dang Hai was both shocked and furious. He glared at the super Sage with bloodshot eyes and roared, ¡°How dare you kill an Ancient Sage of whale race? Everyone, humans clearly think little of us. First, they exterminated space race, and now, they¡¯re exterminating my race. I appeal to all races to join forces. Otherwise, with the despicable actions of humans, they might destroy us one by one and exterminate all of the ancient races.¡± Even though he was furious, he still had some sanity left in him. He knew that the race king and the other quasi-Sage King had already been killed, and the only ones left were him and the other Ancient Sage of whale race. They were definitely not a match for humans, and it was very likely that they would be killed by humans. Thus, he wanted to provoke them and use this opportunity to gather the other ancient races to deal with humans. The ancient races naturally knew that. An Ancient Sage of silver feather race looked at the super Sage and said coldly, ¡°As an Ancient Sage of humans, first you destroyed space race, then you destroyed whale race. Do you want to destroy all the races of the primordial era? ¡± Naturally, he wanted to. However, he also knew that it was impossible for him to annihilate all the ancient races now. If he continued to be overbearing, he would make humans the enemy of the ten thousand ancient races. Thus, he said, ¡°You¡¯re all wrong. Humans have no intention of dealing with the ancient races, much less destroying them. We¡¯ve always wanted to live in peace with the ten thousand ancient races.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that some of the ancient races still think that humans are the same as the ancient era, relying on the support of the other races to survive, especially whale race. They¡¯ve claimed endless lives and killed many of our experts. They¡¯ve also destroyed several countries and devoured billions of humans. They are worse than beasts, treating us humans like animals.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need for us humans to show mercy. We¡¯ll annihilate whale race directly. I also hope that the races of the ancient era will understand that humans are no longer the same. We are no longer weak, and we have the legacies of ancient emperors and Sages.¡± ¡°If the ten thousand ancient races really want to return to this world, then no matter how good it is, you better not hate humans and view us as lowly ants. Otherwise, the consequences will definitely disappoint you.¡± His tone was calm, but it was also powerful. Furthermore, there was also the example of whale race¡¯s destruction, which further intimidated the ancient races. ¡°Humans are clearly trying to threaten the ancient races!¡± Ancient Sage Dang Hai bellowed. ¡°Humans have always been lowly and petty. Everyone, let¡¯s work together to defeat humans. Once we destroy humans, the ancient races will be able to occupy the vast world and develop greatly.¡± Of course, the Ancient Sage of whale race still wanted to persuade the other ancient races to work together and destroy humans. Qin Chen was also very domineering. ¡°If they really want to target us, we¡¯re prepared to fight to the death. At that time, the imperial reserves left behind by the human Emperor will be fully restored and the extreme emperor weapon will attack. Humans might be exterminated, but I don¡¯t know how many races will be left in the primordial era.¡± As he said that, the imperial seal appeared on his body. Immediately, an unparalleled power of the nation¡¯s fate was transmitted over. The presence of a Sage King rippled out, covering the entire Phoenix Heaven Palace. An extreme emperor might that could suppress the ancient era pierced through the sky, causing the expressions of the hundred ancient races present to change. ¡°Extreme emperor might!¡± Humans had already exterminated whale race and even killed a quasi-sage king at the peak of the sage realm. Now, they had even taken out an extreme emperor weapon. Once an ancient weapon with an extreme domain was taken out, it could easily sink the boundless earth. At that time, not to mention Sage Kings, even if Supreme Sages came, they would be killed in one strike! Humans were trying to intimidate the other races. The other human Sages were shocked by this super Sage¡¯s attitude, as well as why he had the imperial seal of the Great Qin Dynasty, but they had no choice but to side with him. It was an unshakable duty to face a common enemy. The expressions of the various races in the Heaven Phoenix Palace changed. They were clearly not used to the strong attitude of humans. However, they could not remain calm at this moment. Even silver feather race¡¯s Ancient Sage tried to persuade them, ¡± Fellow Daoists, please calm down. We don¡¯t want to start a war with humans.¡± At this time, no one was willing to anger humans. If war really broke out, according to this super Sage of humans who dared to destroy whale race, all the Ancient Sages of the various ancient races present might be wiped out. At that time, they could only go to hell and complain that they were wronged. ¡°Of course,¡± Qin Chen said. ¡°If the ancient races are willing to talk to us as equals, we are willing to do so. But if you want to suppress us, then you¡¯re bound to be disappointed. Whale race is the best example for you.¡± The heads of the five whale race Ancient Sages were casually thrown to the ground, and they died with their eyes wide open, including the strongest quasi-Sage King. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the ancient races. This once more shocked all the ancient races present. When Ancient Sage Dang Hai saw that the other Ancient Sages had all fallen silent, he panicked and hurriedly said, ¡°Everyone, humans are merely pretending to be strong. The human king has long passed away. Furthermore, the ancient race still has ancient imperial clan. If ancient imperial clan were to appear, we would definitely be able to suppress them¡­¡± It was in an instant. Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Chen had already struck again. A beam of light pierced through the center of Ancient Sage Dang Hai¡¯s brows, annihilating his divine soul. ¡°Although ancient imperial clan is strong, they can¡¯t protect a whale race member like you who feeds on humans.¡± Qin Chen struck again. He slapped another Ancient Sage of whale race, causing his head to explode like a watermelon. The remaining energy passed through the air, passing through the other ancient race members and turning the remaining members of whale race into blood mist. With that, all the Ancient Sages of whale race were dead. The other members of whale race were all dead. Whale race had been completely exterminated! Chapter 110 - The Urgent Need to Upgrade Qin Chen made his move and killed the remaining two Ancient Sages and the rest of whale race in front of everyone at All Races Banquet. He exterminated the entire race! He was domineering! He was overbearing! Everyone trembled. No one had thought that this super Sage would be so overbearing. Without a word, he killed everyone in whale race, exterminating the entire race! It didn¡¯t occur to them that he was so arrogant. However, the seven heads of whale race¡¯s Ancient Sages, including whale race¡¯s king, were all dead. This only served to show how terrifying the person before them was. After annihilating space race, he exterminated the entire whale race. The number of ancient race Sages he had killed had reached a shocking twelve. However, they had no idea that the Ancient Sage of pegasus race and the sage-level king were both killed by Qin Chen. In the Heaven Phoenix Palace, the various ancient races were silent and the atmosphere was quite oppressive. The main purpose of this banquet was to suppress the humans and occupy the vast territory. However, not long after the battle started, whale race, which had been the most arrogant, was completely annihilated without anyone knowing. This was equivalent to dealing a heavy blow to the ancient races. Although many of the ancient races were furious, this human Sage surrounded by chaotic light was extremely powerful. Not only was he strong enough, but he also brought an extreme emperor weapon to intimidate the ancient races. If a war were to break out, even Sage Kings and Supreme Sages would be killed by the extreme emperor weapon, let alone them. Qin Chen scanned the various races present and said, ¡°Alright, whale race, which has been the most clamoring, no longer has any objections. I don¡¯t know what other opinions the other races have, but our race is one that cherishes peace. If all the other races are willing to live in peace, our race is absolutely willing to accept you and open up enough territory for you. Of course, if the ancient races still insist on doing things their own way and think that humans are still a weak race from the ancient era, then I¡¯m sorry, but humans can only start a war.¡± The scene was silent as the ancient races¡¯ members looked at each other. After a long while, the Ancient Sage of silver feather race said, ¡°We can all see the sincerity of humans. However, I believe that humans can also see that this is only a small portion of the ten thousand ancient races. We are all willing to live in peace with humans, but we can¡¯t represent the other ancient races.¡± The other ancient race experts also began to speak, expressing the same attitude. Qin Chen could naturally tell that these words were not wrong. However, due to the power of humans, the guests here had no choice but to show that they wanted to live in peace. In the future, if other ancient races wanted to bully humans, many of the ancient races present might come out to support them. In the end, they were only afraid of the power of humans. However, this was enough. ¡°I hope that since everyone has agreed today, you will not go back on your word in the future,¡± Qin Chen said, but he did not continue to force them.¡± More than two hundred ancient races had come. Although it was only a small portion of the ten thousand ancient races, they were all truly powerful races. More than half of the races had Ancient Sages. Even silver feather race and the other ten ancient races that were part of the top hundred races had Ancient Sages. Qin Chen could not afford to offend the entire ancient races. He had only destroyed whale race as a warning to the rest. If he offended the entire ancient races, he would be digging his own grave. Even if humans had many immortal inheritances, they would be in grave danger if they were to face the ten thousand ancient races unless an ancient emperor was resurrected. Qin Chen had a good grasp of the situation. He had only exterminated whale race because they had committed heinous crimes. As for the other ancient races, they had not done anything too heinous to humans, so he would naturally not intervene. The banquet came to an end. The ancient races left one by one. It was easy to imagine that with the departure of these ancient race members, the world would once more be in an uproar. However, no one knew if it was a blessing or a disaster for humans. Qin Chen¡¯s true body appeared before the human Sages. Ancient Sage Bing Xuan said, ¡°May I know your name, Sir?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s true body and clone had become one, causing the human experts to take in a cold breath. It turned out that this super Sage was the Elder King of Taiyi Holy Land. No one would have thought that. Qin Chen did not intend to hide it as it would be exposed sooner or later. Furthermore, it would be fine as long as his true identity was not known by outsiders. ¡°No wonder the imperial seal of the country is on you.¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian was enlightened and he sighed, ¡°You¡¯re truly a Supreme talent, but it¡¯s also worth celebrating. Our race has been able to produce a super Sage in this Dharma-Ending Age, but he¡¯s hidden. The world thinks that Elder King is a venerable, but they don¡¯t know that he¡¯s already been a Sage for many years.¡± Everyone thought that Qin Chen had been a Sage for hundreds of years. After all, before the end of the world, even a Sage needed to cultivate for thousands of years to become a super Sage above the seventh heaven. The Dharma-Ending Age was even more difficult, and the time spent on cultivation was longer. Lord Dragon and Qin Feng, who knew his true identity, remained silent. If they knew that the Elder King was only a junior who was less than a hundred years old, they would probably be shocked. Qin Chen had concealed himself with the chaotic light, so no one could see through his true identity. He appeared very mysterious, but the other human Ancient Sages did not say anything. They were just curious. After all, it was normal for such a super Sage to have a strange temper. After a short conversation, they bid each other farewell and left one after another. Qin Chen returned the imperial seal to the Great Qin Dynasty, thanked them, and left with Lord Dragon. The banquet this time would have a huge impact. It would definitely cause quite a storm. Especially Qin Chen, who knew that he had exterminated the entire whale race today and even used the extreme emperor weapon to intimidate them. Although it could intimidate them for a while, it was impossible to intimidate them forever. Only a few of the ancient races had appeared, and they were far from completely recovered. What was even more terrifying was that the strongest ancient race that came to the banquet was only silver feather race, and it was only an Ancient Sage. From this, it could be seen that the true top ancient races did not place much importance on the banquet. If he really wanted to provoke the top 30 or even the top 10 of the hundred ancient races, the situation would probably be completely different, and Sage Kings would definitely appear. Qin Chen was worried that one day, even the ancient imperial clan would be incited to stand against humans. That would be troublesome. That kind of race would definitely have Sage Kings, and maybe even Supreme Sages. The current Qin Chen was far from being able to confront a super Sage. Right now, the most important thing was to return immediately and improve his strength, preferably reaching the Sage King realm. Fortunately, he still had the Sage source from killing the seven Ancient Sages of whale race and all the treasures of the entire whale race. He would definitely be able to improve greatly in a short period of time. Chapter 111 - Time Acceleration At this moment, Qin Chen had returned to Taiyi Holy Land. The first thing he did was enter the emperor¡¯s palace to cultivate in seclusion. The first thing he did was to check in like he always did. Regardless of whether it was good or not, he would check in first. ¡°Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the reward ¡®time acceleration of 365 times¡¯ for 100 days!¡± The system¡¯s cold voice rang in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, but it surprised him. It was actually time acceleration. In fact, time was one of the most powerful great paths in the world, and time-type treasures were rare in the world. Even great emperors rarely had people who could alter the flow of time. Especially when the time was accelerated by 365 times, one day was equivalent to a year. A hundred days was equivalent to a hundred years in the outside world. What Qin Chen lacked the most right now was time. As expected, fortune smiled upon him. 1 ¡°System, I want to activate time acceleration for 100 days! Qin Chen muttered in his heart. Without thinking, he immediately activated time acceleration.¡± He began his seclusion! At the same time, everything that had happened at the banquet was spread across the world at a shocking speed by some of the ancient race members who attended the banquet. At the banquet, there should have been many ancient races who had taken the lead to target humans. However, no one had expected the final result. The super Sage of humans who had destroyed space race had appeared and destroyed whale race. After displaying his shocking cultivation, he peacefully negotiated with the hundred ancient races and ended the discussion. However, following the destruction of space race, another ancient race had been exterminated. Furthermore, whale race was now much stronger than whale race, and their race king was even a quasi-sacred king. However, they were still exterminated in the end. ¡°Since when did humans have such a mysterious super Sage?¡± They were confused. What was even more shocking was that he even borrowed an extreme emperor weapon to intimidate the ancient races. Extreme emperor weapons belonged to the ancient emperors of humans. They were people that were on the same level as the ancient emperors. Even the most powerful ancient race would be wary of a super Sage who could kill a quasi-Sage King and had an extreme emperor weapon. Naturally, the consequences of this matter were far more far-reaching than imagined. Many ancient race members were alarmed. Some of the ancient race members were quite wary of the current humans, and they could tell that humans were no longer the same as before. They could not continue to underestimate them. There were also some ancient races that were like space race and whale race. They were not afraid of humans, and after hearing that the two great ancient races had been exterminated, their attitudes became very gloomy. They declared that humans were so overbearing and vowed to make humans pay. Among them, there was a powerful ancient race that could be ranked in the top 50 among the top 100 races. There were Sage King-level experts in the race, and a gloomy voice came from them, ¡°Very impressive. They really take us for granted, don¡¯t they? A puny human Sage is actually so arrogant and ruthless. He destroyed two powerful ancient races. If he had more guts, wouldn¡¯t he completely exterminate the ten thousand ancient races? ¡± Another ancient race member in the top 50 also let out a deafening voice, ¡°Humans are getting more and more arrogant. They are looking down on us. It seems that after the primordial era and our ancient race went into a deep sleep, humans became one of the few races that had awakened. They gradually grew stronger and became the great race they are today. They no longer treat us equally. It looks like it¡¯s time to show humans the true power of the ancient races.¡± The ancient races all chose to speak up. There were Sag-level fluctuations in all five regions, causing panic among humans. 1 However, there were also Saint-level fluctuations in human inheritances in the five regions. They were displaying their martial strength and confronting each other in the air. Fortunately, there was no real battle. Otherwise, the battle between the Ancient Sages would have been devastating. Everything within a radius of thousands of miles would have been destroyed, and countless people would have been killed. Of course, it was also because of the deterrence of extreme emperor weapons. Ultimately, the human Ancient Sages might not be as numerous as the ten thousand ancient races, but the power of extreme emperor weapons made the Ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races not dare to act rashly. They could only be fearless if they had an ancient emperor weapon to hold them back. As time passed, the situation between humans and the ancient races became tenser and tenser. Sometimes, there would even be conflicts. It was only because both sides had suppressed their battle to below the Sage level that the impact was not too serious. However, humans were far inferior to the ten thousand ancient races, so they suffered many losses. Many of the Holy Lords and supreme elders of the immortal holy land had been killed by the ancient races. This infuriated humans, but they were still somewhat apprehensive. Moreover, some human Supreme experts had also attacked, killing many of the ancient race experts. This was a temporary balance between humans and the ten thousand ancient races. They only needed an opportunity to break this balance, and once that opportunity came, an astonishing war would probably break out. Boom! This day came from the land of Western Heaven, which belonged to the Western Region. There were earth-shaking fluctuations surging, shaking the world in an instant. In Canglan Continent, the five regions in the world were shocked. Countless cultivators looked toward Western Heaven at the same time. The terrifying shockwaves affected all the regions. Ancient Sages from the four immortal dynasties of Central Plains appeared. They looked toward Western Heaven and had an unprecedented look of solemnity. That was because ancient imperial clan had appeared! Ancient imperial clan was the descendant of the ancient emperor who had attained extreme domain. They were the most powerful race among the ten thousand ancient races and were incomparable. In the past few decades, although the ancient race had appeared one after another, they had only been a few of the more powerful races in the top 100. Not even the top 30 had appeared, let alone ancient imperial clan, which stood at the top of the ten thousand ancient races. Now, the legendary ancient imperial clan had appeared in Western Heaven. Without a doubt, the impact was unprecedented. All of the ancient races in the five regions were excited. The appearance of ancient imperial clan meant that the ten thousand ancient races had returned to power. This world would no longer belong to humans, and the ruler would change. Humans were in danger. At this moment, someone noticed that a few people from the ancient races were heading toward ancient imperial clan. When they saw what was happening, they gasped. They were actually members of whale race and space race. That meant their race hadn¡¯t been completely exterminated, and there were still a few remaining members of their races outside. The two ancient race remnants had been afraid of the revenge of humans, so they had not dared to show themselves. Now that ancient imperial clan had appeared, they went there to ask ancient imperial clan to seek justice for them. At this time, a voice came from Western Heaven, ¡°The human Sage who annihilated space race and whale race is ordered to head to Western Heaven immediately to apologize. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences! Chapter 112 - The Royal Factions Attitude The ancient imperial clan¡¯s words resounded throughout the world almost overnight. The world was shocked. The ancient imperial clan had spoken. They wanted to make the human super Sage who had destroyed the space race and the whale race beg for forgiveness, or he should bear the consequences. People had to admit that the ancient imperial clan was really powerful. They had just appeared and they already asked the human race¡¯s Chaotic Sage to come. How arrogant they were! They really looked down upon the human race. However, the ancient races were not surprised at all. In their eyes, the ancient imperial clan did have the right to do so. They were the strongest clam among the ten thousand ancient races, the imperial clan of the ten thousand ancient races, the descendants of the primordial emperor. 1 Once the ancient imperial clan appeared, no matter how strong the human race was, they would have to submit. At the same time, the other strong ancient races quickly echoed, ¡°The human Sage who destroyed two ancient races should immediately apologize. Now that the ancient imperial clan has appeared, they represent the heavens!¡± ¡°The primordial emperor is unparalleled, and the ancient imperial clan is the number one in the world. Even the imperial clan of humans is far inferior!¡± ¡°If the human Sage doesn¡¯t beg for forgiveness, the ancient imperial clan will be angry and attack personally. The human race will suffer the wrath of the ancient imperial clan and will be exterminated! The people of the world were in a state of panic. The power of the ancient imperial clan was undoubtedly evident. The ancient imperial clan¡¯s words were not much different from the words of the whale race, but they put a lot of pressure on the humans. It was because they were the ancient imperial clan. For example, the lower-ranked races such as the whale race and the space race had many ancient Sages. The ancient imperial clan was one of the strongest races at the top of the ten thousand ancient races. No one could imagine how strong they were. The power of their words far surpassed that of the whale race. There must be Sage Kings in this ancient imperial clan. At the same time, many ancient race members were watching. This was because the ancient imperial clan had spoken. The human race¡¯s attitude would, to a large extent, determine the position and attitude of both the human race and the ten thousand ancient races in the future. If the human race gave in, the ten thousand ancient races would definitely rise up like they did in the primordial era and take over this vast world again. If the human race was unyielding, the ancient imperial clan might lead the other races to war with the human race. If they won, the ten thousand ancient races would become the master of the world. If they lost, the human race would still be the master of this world. If it was a draw, then it would be peaceful coexistence. Although many of the ancient races were powerful and had ancient Sages, they had been around for quite some time. They were not as arrogant as the space race and the whale race, who viewed the human race as a weak race and looked down upon humans. On the contrary, the history of the development of the descendants of the primordial age said that ancient emperors were born one after another, and they could fight against the primordial emperor. Furthermore, the human race now had many immortal heritages and ancient Sages in deep sleep. Even the four immortal divine dynasties of the Central Province, which were the descendants of the ancient emperors, were not much worse than the ancient imperial clan. The ancient races maintained a wait-and-see attitude toward the current human race, not willing to provoke them. However, they also hoped to occupy a good enough area to develop themselves and once again enter the world. In Taiyi Holy Land. Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and the other higher-ups of the Holy Land all felt depressed. The ancient imperial clan had spoken in person, and the identity of the human race¡¯s super sage was the Elder King. It was very likely that his identity would be exposed, which would put the Elder King in a very bad situation. If the ancient imperial clan sent out a Sage King, they would still be able to suppress everything. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry too much. The Great Qin Dynasty won¡¯t just stand by and do nothing.¡± Dragon Lord consoled them. He knew that the Elder King was the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the younger brother of the current emperor. Even if the other people of the Great Qin Dynasty originally disliked Qin Chen, as long as they knew that the Elder King was the 17th Prince, they would definitely stand on Qin Chen¡¯s side at all costs. The Great Qin Dynasty would rather use all their resources than ignore someone who had been a super Sage before 100 years old and killed more than 10 ancient Sages and quasi-sage kings. Furthermore, he had the legendary Chaotic Holy Body, which was the same as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. They would know that as long as Qin Chen was given enough time, he might become the second ancient great emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. The Great Qin Dynasty. In the Imperial City. After receiving the news from the outside world, Qin Feng was shocked. Ancient Sage Jing Tian, who was at the end of his life, was also present. Ancient Sage Jing Tian looked toward the west and frowned. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the ancient imperial clan to choose this time to come out. And it¡¯s the great roc imperial clan. This isn¡¯t good!¡± In the primordial era, there were primordial emperors who ruled over the nine heavens and ten lands. When each primordial emperor was alive, they were supreme existences that suppressed the world. The great roc imperial clan was the descendants of the immemorial great roc sage emperor. Furthermore, they were a rather powerful ancient imperial clan. In the primordial age, the great roc imperial clan was one of the strongest races that ruled over the world and all other races had to submit to them. Qin Feng said in a deep voice, ¡°Old ancestor, the Elder King is the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and a hero of the human race. If we don¡¯t help him now, we will make the world bitterly disappointed.¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian was well aware of this, but his face was filled with worry. ¡°I naturally know this, but the best way to help is to resolve the enmity between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. But from the looks of it now, there will probably be a war in the end.¡± He could see very far, and he clearly understood that no matter what, this battle would happen. In reality, the destruction of the space race and the whale race didn¡¯t have much to do with the great roc imperial clan. However, the fact that someone from the great roc imperial clan had actually spoken up this time was in fact to raise the ancient imperial clan¡¯s prestige and also to make preparations for the future occupation of a wider world. Now, the Elder King of Tai Yi Holy Land had successively destroyed the space race and the whale race, two of the top hundred ancient races, intimidating all the other races. If the roc imperial clan could suppress the Elder King, they would be able to quickly establish the authority of the ancient imperial clan and suppress the human race. As such, Ancient Sage Jing Tian knew that this battle was inevitable. What made him worried was that the roc imperial clan was unfathomable. How could there be no Sage King in this kind of ancient imperial clan? Once they appeared, even if the state minister was a super Sage, he would be in danger. A Sage in front of a Sage King was like a venerable in front of a sage. The difference was too great. This was also the reason for Qin Feng¡¯s worry. That was his seventeenth brother. He had a strong brotherly relationship with him and had helped him much. Naturally, he would not be willing to watch his seventeenth brother die. If it was really necessary, Qin Feng would even reveal the true identity of his 17th brother and use the Great Qin Dynasty to protect him. As a descendant of the Supreme Emperor, Qin Feng believed that the Great Qin Dynasty would not fear the ancient imperial clan. They would also protect this descendant of the royal faction, who was full of potential, at all costs. Now, he wanted to see the royal faction¡¯s attitude. He was the emperor, but he could not truly represent the Great Qin Dynasty. The only person he could represent was Ancient Sage Jing Tian, a sage ancestor. Chapter 113 - Sage King ¡°Feng, you¡¯re now the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. With your talent, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to become a Sage in the future. However, as the emperor, you must understand the situation of the world and the power of the ancient imperial clan. There must be Sage Kings in their clan, or even Supreme Sages.¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian did not answer immediately. Instead, he explained. There were many ancient Sages in the world today. Even though Sage Kings had also been revived, no one had seen Sage Kings make a move. They only knew that they were much more powerful than the Sages. For example, the silver feather race was ranked in the top 50 of the ten thousand ancient races, so there definitely were Sage Kings. Supreme Sage could rock the whole world. It was a heaven master that was beyond the imagination of the world and had the power that was beyond the imagination of the world. Qin Feng naturally felt immense pressure from a Supreme Sage. Even to the ancient imperial clan and the imperial clan, Supreme Sages were definitely powerful existences. Qin Feng said, ¡°Old ancestor, even though the roc imperial clan is the descendant of a primordial emperor, the great Qin imperial clan is also the descendant of the Emperor of the Ages, Qin Shihuang. Aren¡¯t there any Supreme Sages that are in deep sleep?¡± ¡°Did you know that the Supreme Sages of the imperial clan are no longer around?¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian sighed. Qin Feng was taken aback. As the emperor of the immortal divine dynasty, he knew most of the great Qin imperial clan. However, he had no idea about the core secret. It was suppressed by the extreme emperor weapon in the inner world. Since ancient times, only a few people in the great Qin imperial clan knew about this core secret, including many Imperial Lords. Ancient Sage Jing Tian said, ¡°Almost all the Supreme Sages had followed the great emperor in battle. Almost no one is asleep.¡± This caused Qin Feng to be greatly shocked. Supreme Sages were all following Qin Shihuang in battle? However, the old ancestor¡¯s words also caused Qin Feng¡¯s expression to change. Almost all of them, but not all. This meant that there were still Supreme Sages within the great Qin imperial clan. Ancient Sage Jing Tian said, ¡°But don¡¯t worry. Since he¡¯s the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, we won¡¯t let anything happen to him. If we really have to start a war, the Great Qin Dynasty isn¡¯t any weaker. From his words, it was clear that he had great confidence in the great Qin imperial clan. How could the descendants of Qin Shihuang be ordinary? At the same time, the great roc imperial clan¡¯s words caused the world to boil. Everyone was waiting to see if the human race¡¯s super Sage would go to the great roc imperial clan to beg for forgiveness. After all, this matter involved too many things, and no clans could sit by and do nothing. The Great Qin Dynasty, the Ice Palace, the Phoenix City, and many other powers with ancient Sages immediately sent messages to the Taiyi Holy Land to express their support. The human race understood that they couldn¡¯t let the super Sage beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, the human race would be at a complete disadvantage, and the world would be disappointed. Seeing that the super Sage of the human race had yet to appear, the great roc imperial clan who had made the announcement back then were enraged. An ancient Sage snorted coldly and spread the word, ¡°It seems like the human race really doesn¡¯t care about the ten thousand ancient races anymore. They¡¯ve killed the space race and the whale race without any regrets. On that day, there were many terrifying waves of Sagely might surging within the roc imperial clan, shaking the world. It was as if it was a sign that the invincible roc imperial clan was about to attack the human race. At the same time, countless ancient races had gathered at this crucial moment to visit the great roc imperial clan. At the All Races Banquet, many of the ancient races that had expressed that they wouldn¡¯t be enemies with the human race had turned around and wanted to suppress the human race. They claimed that the human race was extremely daring and dared to exterminate the ancient race, especially the powerful ancient races like the space race and the whale race. It was obvious that they were trying to suppress the human race and might even declare war on the human race. The atmosphere in the world was extremely tense. The billions of humans in the five regions were panicking. Once the great roc imperial clan called on the other races to declare war on the human race, it would definitely cause unimaginable consequences. The immortal heritages of the human race released their Sagely might one after another. Obviously, in the face of such a grim situation, no one could stay out of it. All the immortal heritages were ready to awaken the sleeping Sages to fight. The wind and clouds in the world gradually stirred. At the same time. In Taiyi Holy Land. In the emperor¡¯s palace. In the outside world, three months had passed under the tense standoff between the ancient races and the human race. However, in the great Emperor¡¯s palace where time was accelerated by 360 times, a hundred years had passed. On this day, the effect of time acceleration disappeared without a sound. Qin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the 33 Emperor steles, was still clean and handsome. However, his eyes were closed and there were faint traces of terrifying fluctuations that caused the surrounding void to tremble and tear apart. They were faintly resonating with the 33 steles. In a daze, he could see the majestic shadows of the divine steles appear one after another, squeezing the void and engraving Supreme Emperor¡¯s marks. Then, they entered his body one by one, and the surging chaos energy filled the air and flooded the emperor¡¯s palace. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Crack. It was like two bolts of lightning had appeared. The void in front of him exploded. Two beams of light shot out like heavenly swords and struck the walls of the emperor¡¯s palace. An unparalleled violent fluctuation was slowly flowing out of Qin Chen¡¯s body, causing the void in the Emperor Palace to tremble and tear from time to time. ¡°The hundred years of secluded cultivation is finally over.¡± He stood up and disappeared from the emperor¡¯s palace in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land. The void was distorted, and no one could see him. Even Dragon Lord, who had the strongest cultivation base, did not have any perception. Qin Chen soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant. In the next moment, he had stepped into the starry sky of the outer realm. Many years ago, he had broken into the Sage realm here. However, Qin Chen had been suppressing his cultivation for a hundred years. Now that he had broken through, it was not as simple as breaking through one or two small realms. He needed to go deeper into the starry sky, and he didn¡¯t want to be disturbed by the outside world like last time. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen watched as the five regions of the Canglan Continent rapidly shrank in front of him. Gradually, he saw the true appearance of the Canglan Continent. It was actually a huge star, unimaginably huge. Soon, Qin Chen was hundreds of millions of miles away, which was far enough from Canglan Continent. The realm that had been suppressed for a long time had finally broken through at this moment. Very quickly, a world-shaking and terrifying light of tribulation appeared, drowning the starry sky for tens of thousands of miles. Although he was far enough away, there were still ancient Sages on the Canglan Continent looking up at the starry sky above them. They could vaguely sense the terrifying heavenly tribulation and aura. Chapter 114 - Stronger Than Sage King A lot of people in the world were shocked. It was clear that someone was going through a heavenly tribulation, and this heavenly tribulation was far stronger than ordinary Sagely tribulation. It was even more powerful than ordinary Sage King heavenly tribulations. ¡°Who¡¯s going through the tribulation?¡± ¡°What a powerful heavenly tribulation! Someone has actually broken through in this era. It seems like he has broken through to the Sage King realm! ¡°Who is it? Which peak Sage of the ancient races has broken through?¡± Almost all the Ancient Sages of the ancient races were looking at the starry sky and making deductions. Even the Ancient Sages of the great roc imperial clan were guessing. Unfortunately, nobody couldn¡¯t figure it out. The secrets of heaven had been blocked and couldn¡¯t be deduced. ¡°No, the person undergoing the tribulation has extraordinary cultivation and has mastered a secret technique to hide the heavenly secrets. I can¡¯t deduce it.¡± An Ancient Sage from the roc imperial clan shook his head helplessly. ¡°Let me make a deduction.¡± At this time, a golden-haired middle-aged man spoke. He was noble, like a natural emperor. He wore golden armor and was extremely majestic. He exuded a Holy path aura that was much more powerful than other Sages. Sage King! The Sage King of the great roc imperial clan personally tried to deduce it, but he soon frowned because even he couldn¡¯t deduce it. He could only see a cloud of fog. These Ancient Sages of ancient races did not know about the situation. Qin Chen was far enough away, and when Qin Chen was undergoing tribulation, he had already used the secret technique in the Chaotic Imperial Sutra to hide the secrets of heaven. Although others could sense it, they could not pinpoint the exact location. Not even a Sage King¡¯s deduction would work. Beyond the sky. In the depths of the starry sky. In an unknown star field. The terrifying light of tribulation was boiling. The heavenly tribulation was vast and boundless, flooding the land in all directions. It was unimaginably terrifying. Countless meteorites exploded. That was Qin Chen, undergoing his tribulation. 100 days in the outside world was 100 years in the emperor¡¯s temporary imperial residence since he had used the 365 times time acceleration. In a hundred years, he could only check in according to the time in the outside world and could only check in a hundred times. However, the heavenly steles left behind by the ancient and modern thirty-three emperors were in the emperor¡¯s palace. With the strong aura there, he had got so many rewards from checking in. He had also refined the secret treasures of the seven Ancient Sages of the whale race and the entire ancient race, as well as the various rewards he had received over the past few decades. After cultivating in seclusion for a hundred years, Qin Chen achieved a shocking breakthrough in his cultivation. He crossed the limit of the seventh heaven and entered the two major Sage Jiutian realms. Now that his 100-year secluded cultivation had ended, he immediately came out and went through the tribulation. With his Chaotic Holy Body, there would be a heavenly tribulation every time he advanced a small realm. Now, he had broken through several realms from the seventh heaven to the Sage King realm. Tribulation after tribulation appeared, covering the sky and bombarding Qin Chen one after another. This wasn¡¯t a simple tribulation, but rather a tribulation of multiple realms at once. The heavenly tribulation was indeed terrifying. Ordinary Ancient Sages would not be able to last long in this place. They would definitely be crushed into dust by the heavenly tribulation. However, Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body was extremely strong. He circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and resisted the tribulations of the small realms in eighth and ninth heaven. Instead, it became the nourishment for his Chaotic Holy Body, making it more and more immortal. Boom! The most terrifying Sage King tribulation arrived as expected. It was countless times more terrifying than the heavenly tribulation of a small realm. All kinds of legendary heavenly tribulations quickly emerged from the sea of tribulation lightning and blasted toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen had prepared for this for a long time. All of a sudden, within the sea of tribulation lightning, an ancient emperor manifested, wielding an emperor weapon and descended from the sky, killing his way through. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned serious. He knew that his heavenly tribulation was one of the most terrifying tribulations in the world, but he didn¡¯t expect that it would reveal an ancient emperor. Although it was only a manifestation of the sea of tribulation lightning, it was still very terrifying, as if it really existed. The ancient emperor seemed to have crossed time and space, crossed the long river of time, and was charging toward him. He faced it seriously, fighting against the ancient great emperors manifested from the heavenly tribulation, and both sides were evenly matched. The ancient great emperor that appeared in the heavenly tribulation corresponded to the same realm. He was invincible and unparalleled. He displayed his terrifying Imperial Technique and even caused Qin Chen to bleed. This was unbelievable. In the vast world, there were not many people in the same realm who could make Qin Chen bleed. However, the ancient great emperor would definitely have the ability to do so at the same cultivation level. After that, the heavenly tribulation revealed the figures of other ancient emperors at the same cultivation level. There were a total of ten of them, causing Qin Chen to almost explode. Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He attacked with all his strength, and it was hard to tell who was winning. His body was covered in blood, and his bones were broken countless times. Even his skull had been split open many times. There were a few times when he almost died, but Qin Chen, who had mastered the Resurrection Technique, managed to recover from the near-death situation. At the same time, being able to fight against ancient emperors when they were younger and strong was a very good form of training for him. After a full three days and three nights, the Sage King heavenly tribulation also came to an end. The figures of the various ancient emperors gradually retreated. All of a sudden, Qin Chen noticed that these ancient emperors didn¡¯t disappear immediately. Instead, all of them had determined expressions on their faces. Among them was the tall and burly Great Desolate Ancient Emperor. His shoulders could support the heavens and he held a stone axe. The axe was still stained with Qin Chen¡¯s blood. After taking a deep look at Qin Chen, he turned around and strode away. The Emperor of the Ages, Qin Shihuang, was on the Great Wall with an endless army behind him. Billions of living beings as soldiers, millions of gods and devils as generals. Qin Shihuang looked to the north and led his army across the Great Wall, never to return. The unparalleled Chaotic Heavenly Emperor walked out of a majestic heavenly palace, followed by many powerful figures, leaving the southern heavenly gate. There was an ancient Emperor that couldn¡¯t be confirmed. He seemed to be one of the nine great true dragons. With a shake of his body, his dragon body soared and broke through the sky. There was also a mysterious figure with a thirty-three-level pagoda above his head. He revealed the thirty-three levels of heaven and held a sword in his hand as he also headed north. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened. That ancient pagoda was very similar to the nine-story stone pagoda he had obtained from the emperor¡¯s palace. They were exactly the same. At that time, he had suspected that a part of the pagoda was missing. Now, he understood that the real Desolate Pagoda had thirty-three levels, like thirty-three heavens. The person in front of him was definitely the Supreme Emperor Huang that the system had mentioned. It had been confirmed that he was at least at the level of an ancient emperor. He was riding the desolate pagoda towards the north. Ancient emperors appeared one after another. They did not return and instead, they charged toward a certain direction. Qin Chen was stunned. He felt as if the heavenly tribulation had recorded the entire ancient history. Everything in front of him involved the secrets of the great ancient emperors that no one knew about. These ancient emperors and even the heavenly emperor had all rushed to the north in the end. Everything pointed to the final destination of the ancient and modern supreme emperors. What exactly was there in the north that made the ancient emperors head north, and some even led an endless army to the north? What did all this mean? Chapter 115 - The Chaotic Sage King In the depths of the starry sky, the heavenly tribulation continued to rumble for a long time. On the Canglan Continent, the ancient Sages of the five regions were all trying to find out who was going through the tribulation. Unfortunately, the tribulation transcender had a special secret technique that could conceal the secrets of heaven. Even powerful Sage Kings were unable to deduce it. In the end, the result remained unknown. Some ancient Sages even ventured deep into the starry sky in hopes of finding the location of the person undergoing the tribulation. However, outer space was simply too vast. It was boundless, countless times larger than the Canglan Continent. In the depths of the starry sky, a total of three billion li away. This was where Qin Chen was undergoing his tribulation. As it was too far away from the Canglan Continent, the ancient Sages couldn¡¯t see someone undergoing his tribulation from such a distance. Even if an ancient Sage wanted to cross three billion li without using the void divine altar to perform a space jump, it would still take at least half a month. Moreover, there was a huge star blocking one¡¯s vision in front of Qin Chen. After half a month of tribulation, he finally succeeded. The light of tribulation faded and the starry sky returned to peace. At this moment, his entire body was in tatters. His flesh was a mass of blood, and many of his bones had exploded. Even his body was almost completely charred. This was because this time he didn¡¯t break through just two or three levels, but many levels, even major realms. After a hundred years of seclusion, he had achieved an unprecedented breakthrough. Even after he became a Sage King, he was still breaking through. Because of this, it took him half a month to complete the tribulation. It was not easy for him to complete the tribulation. He was now very weak. The light of tribulation, which contained destructive power, was flashing between his flesh and blood. At this point, even the Resurrection Technique could not completely heal him in a short time. He struggled to get up and took out an exquisite suet jade bottle from the system space. The moment he opened the bottle, an unusually majestic spiritual light and pill fragrance rushed into the sky, causing an unusual vibration. He poured out a few Sage King Pills filled with spiritual energy from the jade bottle and put them in his mouth. He swallowed them directly turning them into a vast amount of medicinal energy. Crackling¡­ At this moment, an extremely powerful gust of life energy burst out of his flesh and blood. His charred body was recovering, and the broken parts were starting to rebuild his body. Under the treatment of the Sage King Pills, his injuries were rapidly recovering. At the same time, beams of dazzling starlight shot over from all directions, drowning him and speeding up his recovery. Fortunately, this area was not attacked by other ancient Sages like the last time he had become a Sage because it was much more hidden here. Two hours later, he returned to his human form and continued to absorb the starlight from all directions. Half a day later, he had completely recovered. At this moment, he opened his eyes. Two rays of light shot out from his eyes. With a crack, the void was torn apart and two meteorites 100 thousand li away with diameters of more than 100 li were blown apart. It was terrifying! In the starry sky, an unprecedented and terrifying Sage might filled the air, shaking the starry sky. At this point, he had successfully broken through and become a Sage King that overlooked the world, more specifically, an extremely terrifying Chaotic Sage King. ¡°Under time acceleration, after a hundred years of secluded cultivation, I¡¯ve finally stepped into the 2nd Sage realm in the Jiutian realm and became a Sage King.¡± He was very satisfied to feel the majestic power circulating in his limbs and bones. It was far more powerful than before he went into seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, although he was a Chaotic Super Sage and had the power to fight against Sage Kings, he was still wary of the ancient races at the banquet of All Races Gathering. He could only exterminate the whale race, which was the most active race, as a warning to the other races. He didn¡¯t dare to offend them too much. But now, the situation was completely different. At the very least, he now had enough confidence to face the ancient races. He would suppress and even destroy any ancient race that dared to stand in the way. The power of the Chaotic Sage King was not something that ordinary Sage Kings could compare with. Moreover, he was not just a beginner Sage King. 1 ¡°It¡¯s time to go back!¡± He took a step forward and performed a Moving Secret Technique. When he performed it at the current level of a Sage King, it was truly the fastest in the world. In a few moments, he had crossed many li away. He was extremely fast. He could return to the Canglan Continent on foot without the help of the void divine altar. As time passed, he quickly approached the Canglan Continent. The star where the Canglan Continent was located also appeared in his eyes. He could see that it was an incredibly huge superstar. Its diameter was at least one billion li. Even the countless stars in the vast universe could not compare to it. When he got a closer look, he realized that the Canglan Continent, which included the five regions, was only one of the continents on this super-large star. On the star, other continents were about the same size as it. Some were even larger. There was no doubt that this star was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Moreover, the entire star was surrounded by a majestic aura, which shocked people¡¯s souls. Qin Chen was shocked. Perhaps this had something to do with the ancient emperors since ancient times. These ancient emperors were all supreme existences that looked down on the universe. Even if they had left, they would still have an ineffaceable impact on this star. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s more appropriate to call it an Emperor Star!¡± After all, this earth had indeed given birth to too many ancient emperors. It was not wrong to call it an Emperor Star. When getting close to the Emperor Star, he could sense the aura of many ancient Sages in the atmosphere. He quickly guessed that they were all ancient Sages from different regions who wanted to know who was undergoing the tribulation. However, because the area he chose to undergo the tribulation was too far away, and chaos covered the secrets of heaven, they could not know the exact location. At this moment, he did not hide. Very quickly, the ancient Sages found his position and were shocked. ¡°Could it be that this person is the one who was going through the tribulation?¡± ¡°Chaotic light? Is he the human race¡¯s Super Sage who had annihilated the space race and the whale race? It can¡¯t be him!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to come to the starry sky as well. He¡¯s bold. There¡¯s an ancient Sage from the roc imperial clan who asked him to go to Western Heaven to apologize, but he didn¡¯t go. Instead, he dares to appear here. Is he not afraid that the ancient Sage from the roc imperial clan will kill him? ¡± The ancient Sages of the ancient races were in a heated discussion. They quickly dispelled the suspicion that the Super Sage of the human race was the one undergoing the tribulation. After all, he was only a Super Sage. Even if he had killed the quasi-Sage King of the whale race, he only thought it had something to do with the imperial seal of the great Qin family. Chapter 116 - Taming the Roc as a Mount Qin Chen descended from the sky, ignoring the Ancient Sages of the various ancient races. To him, there was no need to hide. He now had the corresponding confidence to face the various ancient races. Perhaps it was because he had exterminated the space race and the whale race, two of the top 100 ancient races, these Ancient Sages were rather wary of him. They didn¡¯t dare to stop him and allowed him to return from outer space. Suddenly. A bright golden light appeared in the starry sky. Vaguely, a huge golden roc that was more than 10000 feet long rose from the Canglan Continent. It appeared in the starry sky and finally turned into a human. The newcomer was wearing a golden robe and a jade crown. He had a dignified expression and directly blocked Qin Chen¡¯s path. He looked at Qin Chen coldly. ¡°You¡¯re the human Sage who annihilated the space race and the whale race, right? I have ordered you to go to Western Heaven to beg for forgiveness. Why didn¡¯t you obey?¡± His words were full of scolding. A human Sage dared to disobey his order. ¡°Ancient Sage Peng Wei is here!¡± ¡°Now that Ancient Sage Peng Wei makes a personal appearance. The Super Sage of the human race is in trouble!¡± ¡°An Ancient Sage from the roc imperial clan came in person. He is no ordinary Ancient Sage but a Super Sage of level seven, not weaker than the human Super Sage.¡± ¡°By the way, do you remember that this human Super Sage is very mysterious? We still don¡¯t know who he is after so long a time.¡± Seeing the newcomer, all the Ancient Sages in outer space were surprised. But what was also surprising was the identity of this mysterious human Super Sage. It seemed extremely mysterious. They only knew that he was from the human race, but they didn¡¯t know which Sage he was. It had been so long, but his true identity had yet to be confirmed. Qin Chen glanced at Ancient Sage Peng Wei and darkened his expression. These ancient races always thought of themselves as high and mighty, looking down on the human race. It was especially true for the ancient imperial clan. He said coldly, ¡°Who do You think you are? You want me to beg for forgiveness? Today you dare to offend me. I will teach you a lesson!¡± As he spoke, he had already made his move. In an instant, a massive hand of chaos materialized, wrapped in layers of chaotic light, and descended from the starry sky toward Ancient Sage Peng Wei. Ancient Sage Peng Wei harrumphed coldly as golden light burst forth from his body. ¡°You¡¯re just a human Sage. So what if you¡¯re a Super Sage? I¡¯m a Super Sage of the roc imperial clan. You can¡¯t compare to me.¡± A pair of brilliant golden wings extended from his back, covering thousands of feet. With surging sage divine power, he crashed into the giant hand. Boom¡­ The void collapsed. All the Ancient Sages were watching. This was a clash between two Super Sages. However, many people did not think that the human Super Sage would be a match for him. After all, Ancient Sage Peng Wei was a Super Sage of the roc royal clan. The blood of the ancient emperor flowed in his veins. He was not simple, and his strength was bound to be stronger than those of the same cultivation level. But soon, the reality surprised everyone. The massive hand shattered the golden roc wings and slammed on Ancient Sage Peng Wei, sending him flying a thousand li away, blood splattering all over the place. It destroyed him utterly. Everyone present was dumbfounded. The human Super Sage was so terrifying. Ancient Sage Peng Wei spat out a mouthful of blood. Many of his bones had been broken. He stared at Qin Chen with wide-open eyes filled with disbelief. How could this human Super Sage be so powerful? ¡°You¡¯re too weak.¡± Even if he had only been at level seven of the Sage realm before he went into seclusion, he would have been able to easily crush Ancient Sage Peng Wei, let alone now. He was just an ordinary Ancient Sage of the ancient imperial clan. Even if a Sage King of an ancient imperial clan came, it would not be a match. It would be more appropriate if the offspring of an ancient imperial Sage King came. It could be said that he did not take Ancient Sage Peng Wei seriously at all. It was not wrong to say that Ancient Sage Peng Wei had offended him. ¡°I just happen to need a mount. You¡¯re barely worthy of my attention.¡± He then turned to look at Ancient Sage Peng Wei. A golden-winged roc at the level of Super Sage would barely be able to become his mount. Ancient Sage Peng Wei felt chilled to the bone as he hurriedly said, ¡°You can¡¯t do this! I¡¯m an Ancient Sage of the roc imperial clan.¡± After personally witnessing Qin Chen¡¯s strength, he knew that he wasn¡¯t a match for him, so he immediately brought up the title of the roc imperial clan. ¡°So what? I¡¯m also a member of the imperial clan.¡± Qin Chen laughed mockingly. He did not seem to care about the roc imperial clan at all. The giant hand of chaos grabbed Ancient Sage Peng Wei. No matter how much he struggled, it was useless. He was caught in the palm of Qin Chen¡¯s hand and was quickly forced to reveal his true form. It was a golden-winged great roc with a wingspan of over a hundred thousand feet. Chapter 117 - Return on the Giant Roc Riding on Ancient Sage Peng Wei, Qin Chen returned from the outer realm. Very quickly, he entered the Southern Desolate Lands. As a Chaotic Sage King, he used chaos to erase all traces. The Sages from the outer realm were unable to track him and the roc. Could this human Sage King be from the Southern Desolate Lands? As ancient Sage Peng Wei carried him in the direction he pointed out, he conjectured in his heart as he tried to persuade Qin Chen, ¡°Your Excellency, while you are indeed powerful and can even borrow the extreme emperor weapon from the human race, don¡¯t forget that the great roc imperial clan also has an ancient imperial weapon. There are also Supreme Sages in the race. Once a war breaks out, the human race will suffer heavy losses.¡± ¡°However, as long as you free me, I can let bygones be bygones. The great roc imperial clan won¡¯t even hold you responsible for exterminating the space race and the whale race. How about it?¡± At this moment, even though he had been tamed by Qin Chen¡¯s strength, he was still unconvinced. This was the pride of the ancient imperial clan. As a Super Sage of the roc imperial clan, he would never submit to a mere human, even to a Sage King. He had already planned everything out. Once he successfully deceived the human Sage King and returned to the roc imperial clan, he would inform the Sage King of the roc imperial clan to kill him at the earliest possible chance. He had to vent his hatred. How could the dignity of the roc imperial clan be trampled on by a human? He must be killed. ¡°No. Since you have Supreme Sages, just come.¡± He could see through Peng Wei¡¯s thoughts with a single glance. After all, he came from the earth and was quite knowledgeable. He was not foolish enough to think that the roc imperial clan would let bygones be bygones if he let Peng Wei go. Furthermore, since he had tamed an Ancient Sage of the ancient imperial clan, it was very likely that Peng Wei would return with his troops. Peng Wei was helpless. He did not expect this human Sage King to be so tough. Was he not afraid of even Supreme Sages? Just as he was about to continue persuading him, Qin Chen said coldly, ¡°If you keep persuading me again, I¡¯ll roast you with a fire.¡± Peng Wei felt dreadful truly, and he didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. Besides, he also wanted to know who this human Sage King was. Not long after, under Qin Chen¡¯s guidance, Peng Wei carried him to the main entrance of the Taiyi Holy Land. Suspicion flashed across his mind. This seemed to be the so-called immortal holy land of the human race. As for what kind of holy land it was, he had no idea. When seeing Qin Chen, the gatekeeper of the Taiyi Holy Land was surprised and happy. He immediately opened the main gate, and many supreme elders appeared. ¡°Elder Kin. When did you come out of seclusion?¡± ¡°Eh? When did the Elder King tame a giant roc?¡± Many elders and disciples were surprised. The Lord Dragon, Lu Xuan, Ling Ran, and the others were naturally alarmed and appeared. It was only then that they realized that the Elder King had come out of seclusion and had tamed a golden roc, which looked very much like the legendary golden-winged roc. Only Lord Dragon¡¯s expression changed. Even though the holy path aura of Ancient Sage Peng Wei had been suppressed by Qin Chen, as the Lord Dragon, he could still sense something different. He hurriedly walked forward and said, ¡°Elder King, this is¡­¡± ¡°This is the roc I just tamed,¡± Qin Chen replied. He didn¡¯t say anything else. After all, Ancient Sage Peng Wei was a Super Sage of the roc imperial clan. It would be better if they remained unknown about it, but if they were to find out the truth, not many would be able to withstand it. ¡°I see.¡± Other than the Lord Dragon, Lu Xuan, Ling Ran, and the others did not notice anything. ¡°I¡¯ve just finished my seclusion and gone out to face my tribulation,¡± he said, ¡°What happened in the past three months?¡± Everyone was used to Elder King¡¯s breakthrough. After all, they had witnessed him become a Sage. They just knew their Elder King had become a Super Sage not long ago. With such a shocking cultivation speed, they didn¡¯t think it was surprising for him to break through again after three months of seclusion. ¡°Sage Chen. Bad news! The ancient imperial clans have appeared!¡± Lord Dragon stepped forward and told Qin Chen everything that had happened in the past three months. At this moment, Ancient Sage Peng Wei wished he could just burrow into the ground. Back then, he was the one who had ordered Qin Chen to beg for forgiveness from the roc imperial clan. Now, he was also the one who had been tamed and rode on. When Qin Chen heard this, he glanced at Peng Wei under his feet. No wonder this fellow had asked him to go to the roc imperial clan to apologize. This was the reason. However, given that he had already tamed Ancient Sage Peng Wei of the roc imperial clan, there was no need for him to apologize. If he went to beg for forgiveness, it would instead be a big problem for the roc imperial clan. However, Lu Xuan was worried. ¡°Elder Kin. The roc imperial clan is not an ordinary ancient race. It is the ancient imperial clan, which is extremely powerful. It is said that there is Sage King in their clan, and even legendary Supreme Sages. You can¡¯t go there.¡± Chapter 118 - God Qin Chen returned to the Sages¡¯ Peak that the Taiyi Holy Land had arranged as his residence. Lu Xuan and Ling Ran both left, and only Lord Dragon followed. Over here, Qin Chen could not be bothered to continue surrounding himself with chaotic light and simply revealed his true appearance, which made Ancient Sage Peng Wei shocked. To think the shocking elder king of the Holy Land was just a young man whom one could feel the vitality of the younger generation from. The other party wasn¡¯t an old antique who had lived for thousands of years with a young appearance. He didn¡¯t have the undisguisable lethargy. Even though he was part of the ancient imperial clans and looked down on the human race, he knew a lot about the current human race. It was said that the elder king of the Taiyi Holy Land had become a Sage in the current era. Yet, there didn¡¯t seem to be such a person among the known top geniuses of the human race. Lord Dragon looked at Ancient Sage Peng Wei and could not help but feel that this golden roc had an extraordinary background. He couldn¡¯t help but circle the golden while sizing it up. ¡°Junior, get lost,¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei was annoyed. It was one thing for Qin Chen to be so casual around him since he was no match for him, but how dare a mere Bahuang realm Venerable size him up? Instantly, a shocking wave of energy spread out, knocking Lord Dragon back. Lord Dragon was shocked. He was a Venerable of the Bahuang realm, the second strongest in the Taiyi Holy Land after Qin Chen, but he had just been pushed away by this roc. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the other party was not simple. Where had Sage Chen managed to tame such a powerful roc? it had to be at least in the Bahuang realm. However, with Sage Chen¡¯s cultivation, he was worthy of a Bahuang realm mount, though. Seeing Lord Dragon and Ancient Sage Peng Wei staring at each other, Qin Chen waved his hands and said, ¡°Stop sizing him up. This guy is a Sage-level roc. You can¡¯t afford to provoke him at the moment.¡± Lord Dragon was shocked. When did Sage Chen tame a Sage-level roc? He was so powerful. Even in the ancient era, not many had the right to have a Sage-level beast as a mount. Ancient Sage Peng Wei transformed into his human form and stared at Lord Dragon for a long while before saying, ¡°So you¡¯re a Dragon. It¡¯s said that there¡¯s a Dragon venerable in the Taiyi Holy Land. So it¡¯s you. ¡°Ancient Sage Peng Wei?¡± Lord Dragon was taken aback. How could he not know about Ancient Sage Peng Wei? While Qin Chen was in seclusion, he had even followed the awakened Dragon Sage to pay a visit to the great roc imperial clan. However, he never expected that the Sage-level roc tamed by Sage Chen was Ancient Sage Peng Wei of the great roc imperial clan! Wasn¡¯t Sage Chen a little too bold? To think he even dared to tame an ancient Sage of the great roc imperial clan. On top of that, Ancient Sage Peng Wei was a supreme Sage, not an ordinary ancient Sage. Ancient Sage Peng Wei shot a disdainful glance at Lord Dragon and said, ¡°To think a great dragon joined such a weak Holy Land of the human race. Aren¡¯t you afraid of disgracing the dignity of the Dragon race? ¡± ¡°Bang!¡¯ Qin Chen flicked his sleeve and sent Ancient Sage Peng Wei flying to the ground, ¡°Stop pot calling the kettle black. You¡¯re just my mount now but he¡¯s my follower.¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei, ¡°¡­¡± Damn it, he was so angry! To think he, an ancient Sage of the great roc imperial clan, was now worse off than a Bahuang realm Venerable. Lord Dragon glanced at Ancient Sage Peng Wei. He wasn¡¯t too worried about the other party, but he was more concerned about the actions of Sage Chen, ¡°Sage Chen, if the great roc imperial clan were to find out that you¡¯ve tamed Ancient Sage Peng Wei as your Mount, you¡¯ll be in deep trouble. The roc imperial clan is an ancient imperial clan after all. If any of their members, and even an ancient Sage, has been tamed as a mount, they will definitely not let the matter rest.¡± There were some things that he could not say frankly before Ancient Sage Peng Wei. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m a Sage King now, and I¡¯m stronger than before. I can deal with more problems. Worse come to worst, I¡¯ll just borrow an extreme emperor weapon from my 9th brother,¡± Qin Chen transmitted his voice with an unchanging expression. Sage King? !!! Lord Dragon was dumbfounded. His emotions were incomparably shaken, and then he let out a long sigh. The Chaotic Holy Body was truly monstrous. A few decades ago, the two of them were both in the Bahuang realm. Now, not only had Qin Chen become a Sage, but he had even become a Sage King. His cultivation speed was incredible. Lord Dragon left soon after, leaving the Taiyi Holy Land and heading to the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in Demon Valley. The news that Qin Chen had become a Sage King was very important. Lord Dragon had a very good relationship with Qin Chen, so he naturally didn¡¯t want to see him being targeted by the great roc imperial clan. If he could have the dragon race as Qin Chen¡¯s backing, even the ancient imperial clans would have to be wary. One had to know that the dragon race had been able to become the number one race of the ten thousand ancient races in the past because they had continuously produced Supreme Immemorial Dragons that awed both ancient and modern times. Furthermore, Qin Chen had the legendary Chaotic Holy Body, the same constitution as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He had also become a Sage King before the age of a hundred. His potential was heaven-defying, and he might be able to become an Emperor who has proven his path in the future. 1 He could use this to persuade the Dragon Sage. It had to be said that Lord Dragon had put in a lot of effort for Qin Chen. Qin Chen left Sages¡¯ Peak temporarily and went to the great Emperor¡¯s palace to check-in. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the reward ¡°God-Demon Heaven Shaking Roar¡±.] Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t get any heaven-defying rewards. He only got a Supreme Sage-level supernormal knowledge. At his realm, Qin Chen finally understood that Sage-level techniques were further divided into three levels: Sage-level, Sage King level, and Supreme Sage-level. In the past, regardless of whether it was the ancient Sage of the pegasus race or the space race, most of the techniques they used were ordinary Sage-level techniques, which was why they could cultivate them to the ultimate realm. The God-Demon Heaven Shaking Roar was a Supreme Sage-level supernormal knowledge. Although it wasn¡¯t an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge, this sound-type supernormal knowledge was quite suitable for a Chaotic Sage King like Qin Chen. The Chaotic Holy Body was far stronger than any other body at the same level. When he used this kind of sound-type Supreme Sage-level supernormal knowledge with the Chaotic Holy Body, it would be greatly enhanced. Think about it, when facing enemies from all directions, Qin Chen could use the God-Demon Heaven Shaking Roar, and with one roar, the sky would collapse and the earth would shatter. Even Sages would be crushed by the roar. How impressive would that be? With Qin Chen¡¯s current attainment, he only spent half a day to cultivate it. Of course, it was only in the beginning stage. It would take a certain amount of time to cultivate the supernormal knowledge to the master stage, let alone the final ultimate stage. At this moment, the news of ancient Sage Peng Wei being taken away by a human Sage King was spreading like wildfire in the outside world. The whole world was shocked! Wasn¡¯t it just a super Sage who annihilated the space race and the whale race? When did the human become a Sage King? In the Qin imperial clan, Ancient Sage Jing Tian thought to himself, ¡°Sage King? Isn¡¯t he just a super Sage?¡± ¡°17th brother has broken through to the Sage King level?¡± Imperial Lord Chen Feng¡¯s heart was filled with shock, but even more so with excitement. He didn¡¯t expect that after not seeing his 17th brother for three months, his 17th brother would silently advance by leaps and bounds and become a Sage King. It turned out that the person who had transcended the tribulation not long ago was indeed his 17th brother. That being said, how did his 17th brother do it? Even when the ancient emperors were young, they weren¡¯t as monstrous as this, right? Chapter 119 - The Human Race has a Sage King Now! Qin Feng took a long time to recover from the shock over his 17th brother¡¯s sudden advancement from a super Sage to a Sage King. Ancient Sage Jing Tian sighed, ¡°So, the Minister hadn¡¯t displayed his true cultivation level back then. I didn¡¯t expect him to have hidden it so well. Even I cannot compare to him.¡± In the Dharma-Ending Age, it was already difficult enough to become a Sage, not to mention becoming a Sage King. How heaven-defying would that be? Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, ¡°If you knew that he¡¯s a member of the Qin imperial clan and my younger brother who¡¯s not even a hundred years old, I¡¯m afraid that your eyes would fall out.¡± Of course, regarding Qin Chen¡¯s true identity, unless it was a last resort, Qin Feng would not disobey his brother¡¯s will and reveal it. He only said softly, ¡°Great ancestor, the roc imperial clan will definitely be enraged this time. The Great Qin Dynasty must protect the Minister no matter what.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, ¡± Ancient Sage Jing Tian replied, ¡°The elder king is the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Sage King of the human race. Nothing will be allowed to happen to him. So what if it¡¯s the roc imperial clan? Hehe, we¡¯re also the descendants of the Qin Shihuang.¡± In the Ice Palace, Ancient Sage Bing Xuan exclaimed, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the elder king of the Taiyi Holy Land would hide his strength during the All Races Banquet. To think he¡¯s already a Sage King! What a formidable junior!¡± Ancient Sage Ming Jian sighed as well, ¡°The human race now has a Sage King!¡± The world was shaken. At this moment, everyone knew that the human race had a Sage King and would thus no longer be the pushover they could easily bully. However, the roc Imperial clan was furious. The mysterious human Sage King was truly bold. To think that he would suppress Ancient Sage Peng Wei. Was he trying to intimidate the roc imperial clan? Many ancient races did not like the human race, to begin with, especially now that the human race had a Sage King. The human Sage King had even exterminated the space race and the whale race, two powerful ancient races. No one knew when this human Sage King had found them an eyesore. If he suddenly attacked them, it would truly be a disaster. One had to know that when the ancient race had first reappeared, they had all targeted the human race and had even done things as cruel as the whale race. This human Sage King was like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They would not be able to live without fear if they did not kill him. Thus, many of the ancient races took this chance to speak up and persuade the roc imperial clan to take revenge on the human race. Only the ancient imperial clans had the right to punish the human race. The world was shaken, and a storm was brewing. This time, a Sage King from the roc imperial clan who had lived for over ten thousand years personally came forward and gave the order to hunt down the human Sage King. He even told the human race that if they did not hand over Ancient Sage Peng Wei and the human Sage King, the roc imperial clan would declare war on them. The many ancient races expressed their support. In short, they were threatening the human race. However, the human race wasn¡¯t the same as they were in the primordial age. In the face of the threat, the four immortal divine dynasties and the other emperor inheritances stepped out to warn the roc imperial clan that it was no longer the primordial age and that the ancient imperial clans couldn¡¯t continue to be high and mighty while commanding the human race. This infuriated the roc Imperial clan, and a Sage King immediately stepped out, summoning the ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races to head to the human race and demand justice. However, the only thing that puzzled them was that no one seemed to really know who the human Sage King who had annihilated the space race and the whale race was. After all, the other party had never revealed his true body, and what they only knew was that he had the energy of chaos in his body. Even the divination of the roc Sage King didn¡¯t work. The news only reached the Taiyi Holy Land when the world was in a frenzy. The Holy Land¡¯s upper echelons were dumbfounded because only now did they know that the elder king had silently broken through to the Sage King level. Naturally, they were very excited. After tens of thousands of years, not only had a Sage finally been born in the Taiyi Holy Land, but he had also become a Sage King. The future of him becoming a Supreme Sage seemed within reach as well. One had to know that a Holy Land with Sage Kings and Supreme Sages was a world of difference from a Holy Land with only Sages. If the elder King became a Supreme Sage one day, even if the ten thousand ancient races or the ancient imperial clan came, they would still have to be respectful toward the Supreme Sage and not dare to offend him. But on the other hand, they also felt their scalps go numb. This was because they had only just found out that the elder king¡¯s roc mount was actually a super Sage of the roc imperial clan, Ancient Sage Peng Wei. It had been suppressed and tamed by the elder king. Although the upper echelons of the Holy Land were shocked by the elder king¡¯s cultivation, they were also fearful of the roc imperial clan. Once the other party knew the truth, they would spare no effort in coming to suppress the elder king and the Holy Land. The danger was heading straight at them. Naturally, they went to the elder king to immediately discuss the countermeasures. They respected the elder king as always and did not dare to criticize him, whether it was because of the elder king¡¯s cultivation or because of his indelible achievements in the Taiyi Holy Land. Ancient Sage Peng Wei looked at the trembling upper echelons of the Taiyi Holy Land before turning to look at Qin Chen. Although he didn¡¯t understand why Qin Chen was unwilling to reveal his true identity, he still took the opportunity to ask, ¡°Sage Chen, I also think that it¡¯s better for you to let me go as soon as possible. Now that the roc imperial clan is looking for me, it¡¯s better for everyone if you do that. I can swear that the roc imperial clan won¡¯t take revenge on the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°Really?¡± One of the grand elders said excitedly. To the people of the Taiyi Holy Land, Ancient Sage Peng Wei was more like a hot potato than anything else. They would not touch him if they could. ¡°Elder Xia!¡± Lu Xuan shouted. His expression darkened, and he immediately cupped his fists at Qin Chen and apologized, ¡°Elder King, Elder Xia did not do it on purpose.¡± The grand elder, who was called Elder Xia, also quickly apologized, because the one who held the power of the Holy Land was not them, but the elder king. Even if the elder king had never been willing to wield power, he was still the one who made the final decision. No matter what decision the elder king made, they had to follow it unconditionally. Qin Chen knew the purpose of their visit, and he was very worried. After all, the various races of the primordial era and the ancient imperial clans were too powerful. They were too much of a threat to the human race. ¡°There¡¯s no need for all of you to worry too much. At the moment, the roc imperial clan still doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m the one who has tamed Ancient Sage Peng Wei,¡± Qin Chen consoled the higher-ups of the Holy Land, ¡°Furthermore, the roc imperial clan will not start a war so easily. This can be considered a gamble. There will naturally be ancient sages of the human race who will come forward to negotiate with the roc imperial clan and the ten thousand ancient races.¡± When it came to the higher level, the higher-ups of the Holy Land who were all Liuhe realm grandmasters or even Qiyao realm Kings didn¡¯t have much say in the matters. Only Sage-level experts could truly negotiate with the ten thousand ancient races. The elder king before them who was a Sage King must be one of the Sages who would go forward. On second thought, the elder king was not only from the Taiyi Holy Land but also the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Minister. The Great Qin Dynasty would not allow its Minister to be targeted by the ancient imperial clans. Therefore, they did not need to worry too much about the Minister at all. Soon, Qin Chen received Qin Feng¡¯s message. First, his 9th brother congratulated him for becoming a Sage King with words filled with sincerity. However, to keep Qin Chen¡¯s identity a secret, even the message did not reveal his true identity. Immediately after, he also told Qin Chen not to worry too much. The Great Qin Dynasty and the other three immortal divine empires had come to a consensus to deal with the ancient imperial clans together. Qin Chen was not surprised by this. He soon found out that Ancient Sage Jing Tian in the Great Qin Dynasty knew that his status was not high enough, so he invited a slumbering ancient Sage King from the ancestral grounds to make a trip to the roc imperial clan with the ancient sages of the other three immortal divine dynasties. Qin Chen stood with his hands behind his back and looked to the west as he muttered to himself, ¡°If the roc imperial clan continues to be stubborn this time, then I¡¯ll personally make a trip there. I¡¯d like to see just how strong an ancient imperial clan is. I do wonder if the Desolate Pagoda can kill the ancient race¡¯s Supreme Sage.¡± Chapter 120 - Im Sorry, Im a Little Too Talented Ancient Sages from the four immortal divine dynasties appeared and headed towards the roc imperial clan. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how the process was, because the results were not out yet. However, he wasn¡¯t worried about the four immortal divine dynasties. After all, they were the imperial clans of the human race. Of course, if the roc imperial clan wasn¡¯t willing to let the matter rest, he wasn¡¯t afraid either. After a hundred years of closed-door cultivation and becoming a Sage King, he was even more confident in himself now. Occasionally, he would use the Desolate Pagoda to train and attack. He found that once the Desolate Pagoda was revived, it was extremely terrifying. When he had just stepped into the Sage level, he had easily destroyed a wisp of the space race¡¯s ancient Supreme Sage ancestor¡¯s soul with the help of the Desolate Pagoda. Now that he had reached the Sage King level, he might even be able to fight against a true Supreme Sage with the help of the Desolate Pagoda. Of course, if things didn¡¯t go well, he could just borrow the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s extreme Emperor weapon from his 9th Brother Qin Feng and make a trip there personally. Just like that, Qin Chen cultivated peacefully for a few more days, but there was still no news from the roc imperial clan. Everyone in the world was nervous, but he was calm. This was his confidence. ¡°Sage Chen, why don¡¯t you let me go? if a war starts because of me, I¡¯ll feel really bad,¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei persevered as he tried to persuade Qin Chen to let him go. In the end, he was sent flying out of the door by the latter. Then, Qin Chen went out to sweep the Taiyi Holy Land as usual. Although he was already at the Sage King level, his real body was still mediocre in the eyes of everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land. He was still in the Sancai realm. After all, nearly a hundred years had passed (excluding the time acceleration), so this cultivation speed was relatively average. That being said, by right, he should have gotten rid of his identity as a handyman. However, Qin Chen was already used to being one because this identity gave him the feeling of being a sweeping monk. Only in this way would he always remember that he was not entirely from this world, but from another universe called Earth. He wondered if he would be able to break through time and space one day and return to Earth. When Qin Chen returned to the handyman¡¯s yard, he saw his senior brother who used to take care of him. With his secret help, his senior brother had become a Wuxing realm Master over time and emitted a special aura in his every action. His senior brother was no longer a handyman, but an inner sect disciple. He wasn¡¯t considered outstanding, but he wasn¡¯t too mediocre either. Right now, he was cultivating an earth-grade supernormal knowledge that the elder had imparted to him. Over the years, under Qin Chen¡¯s influence and the leadership of the female Holy Lord Ling Ran, the Taiyi Holy Land had developed in all aspects. It was now thriving, and countless geniuses had chosen to join. Under the focused training, a group of Masters and Grandmasters had been produced. Even a few Qiyao realm Kings had been nurtured in the past hundred years. These Kings were mostly the previous supreme elders. Being in charge of the Taiyi Holy Land, coupled with the many resources Qin Chen brought back from outside, Ling Ran was fair in terms of both rewards and punishments, and she established clear rules. Therefore, even Qin Chen¡¯s senior brother who used to be a handyman had become a Master. Of course, Wuxing realm Masters could¡¯ve become elders in the Taiyi Holy Land in the past, but now, only Grandmasters who had entered the Liuhe realm were qualified to become elders. As for supreme elders, unless they were from the older generation, only Kings in the Qiyao realm had the right to take on the role. All in all, the Taiyi Holy Land had regained its former glory. Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was grateful to the elder king. If it weren¡¯t for him, it would¡¯ve been difficult for the Taiyi Holy Land to even preserve its existence in the turbulent waves, let alone regain its glory. The senior brother was quite happy to see Qin Chen. He said, ¡°Qin Chen, today, I received an earth-grade supernormal knowledge called Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar from the supreme elder of the Supernormal Knowledge Hall. You can cultivate this supernormal knowledge with me. It will be of great help to you. After all, you¡¯re not young anymore. Although your cultivation realm is not high, if you cultivate it now, it will be useful at a critical moment.¡± Seeing his senior brother¡¯s enthusiasm, Qin Chen could not refuse. His senior brother then brought him to a roaring waterfall. Immediately, invisible ripples spread out, accompanied by a lion¡¯s roar that shook the forest. The surrounding rocks were instantly shattered by the sound wave, and cracks appeared. Among them, a small mountain directly in front of them exploded under the roar, turning into a mass of fine powder before dissipating. The senior nodded in satisfaction. With his Master level cultivation, being able to use the Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar to this stage, the skill¡¯s cultivation could be considered to have reached the intermediate stage. If other Masters were not careful, they would be injured by his Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar. He then turned around to look at Qin Chen and said, ¡°Junior brother, I¡¯ve already taught you the trick to the Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar. Let me see how you perform it.¡± Qin Chen felt a little helpless. The Gold-shattered Lion¡¯s Roar was simply a super low-configuration version of the God-Demon Heaven Shaking Roar. One had to know that although he had only started cultivating the God-Demon Heaven Shaking Roar not long ago, he had already reached the intermediate stage. The Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar was simply too weak. With just a little cultivation, he could already reach the ultimate stage. However, since it was his senior brother¡¯s good intentions, he could not refuse. He could only go to the waterfall and display his skill. ¡°Roar!¡± With a lion¡¯s roar, the rocks around the waterfall exploded. Even a stone that was ten meters tall at the very front was blasted apart. The senior brother was dumbfounded by this scene. The reason why he was able to blow up the small mountain was because of his Master level cultivation. However, this junior brother of his was only in the Sancai realm, yet he could already shatter such a large rock. This was not something a cultivator of the Sancai realm who had just started practicing the Gold-shattering Lion¡¯s Roar could do. More importantly, how long had his junior brother cultivated the skill? Qin Chen patted his senior brother¡¯s shoulder and smiled apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior brother. I¡¯m a little talented in cultivation.¡± The senior brother, ¡°¡­¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll.] On this day, Qin Chen checked in at the great Emperor¡¯s palace as usual and obtained something unexpected, the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll! This made him quite surprised. This was because the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll was similar to the Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls of the Great Alchemy Emperor. It was a supreme weapon refining technique created by the ancient Emperor Duantian. The ancient Emperor Duantian was known as the number one blacksmith since ancient times. No one could surpass him in the field of refining weapons. Even in the primordial age, when the ancient emperors existed, many of the ancient emperors¡¯ extreme ancient weapons were forged with the help of ancient Emperor Duantian. In the later stages, Emperor Duantian spent a thousand years compiling and perfecting the unprecedented Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll based on his understanding of weapon refinement. Chapter 121 - Extreme Battle? There was no doubt that the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll was the essence of the ancient Emperor Duantian¡¯s lifetime in the art of weapon refinement. It was profound and mysterious. However, in the primordial age, after the ancient Emperor Duantian passed away, the Duantian imperial clan did not have many years of glory. Later on, a quasi-Emperor coveted the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll and attacked the Duantian imperial clan. Even though the ancient Emperor Duantian had left behind all kinds of backup plans, his clan was still unable to escape the crisis of extermination. On that day, the earthshaking Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll disappeared along with the Duantian imperial clan. However, it was obvious that one of the 33 steles in the great Emperor¡¯s palace was left behind by the ancient Emperor Duantian. Hence, after many days, the system rewarded Qin Chen with the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll. Qin Chen had many super weapons now, such as the quasi-Emperor weapon Desolate God Halberd, and the Desolate Pagoda was an original ancient weapon left behind by the Supreme Emperor Huang. Without a doubt, they were all unparalleled divine weapons. But ultimately, they were not refined step by step by Qin Chen, and thus were not entirely compatible with his divinity. It was fine in the early stages, but in the later stages, he would not be able to really exert their most powerful strength. If he wanted to prove his path and become an Emperor, he would need a weapon that intertwined with his life. However, all this while, he had gotten used to using the Desolate God Halberd. As such, he felt that it was difficult to forge a suitable weapon for himself, so this matter had been put on the back burner. Now, with the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, Qin Chen had a new idea. He wanted to refine a peerless divine weapon that belonged to himself only. After checking in and obtaining the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, Qin Chen began to practice this greatest scroll in weapon refining. Of course, no matter how talented he was, he couldn¡¯t comprehend it overnight. But after reading through the scroll many times, he had a comprehensive understanding of the art of weapon refining. Since ancient times, all weapons had been divided according to the major realms. However, even weapons of the same realm had different levels, just like how the mastery of supernormal knowledge could be divided into four stages: beginner, intermediate, master, and ultimate. In the same logic, weapons of the same realm were divided into five grades: primary, intermediate, advanced, supreme, and celestial. The celestial grade was the highest while the primary grade was the lowest. Most of the weapons refined by common people were of the primary grade, with some of the stronger ones being of the intermediate grade. To refine an advanced-grade weapon was something that was basically only possible for someone from a refiner family. As for supreme-grade weapons, not many among the families of refiners could make them. As such, in terms of celestial-grade weapons, only a few among the world¡¯s refining families could refine such weapons since ancient times. That being said, Qin Chen, who had obtained the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, had the chance to refine a celestial-grade weapon. In the past hundred years (not counting the accelerated time), Qin Chen had obtained many rare divine materials, such as the star blue silver, the amethyst gold thread, the eternal sun pure gold, and so on. However, all this time, he had just left them in the system space and had never used them. Now, with the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, Qin Chen planned to create a weapon of his own. As he grew and became an Emperor in the future, his weapon would thus become a supreme extreme emperor weapon. Of course, he couldn¡¯t rush the process of forging weapons. He had to plan and do it slowly. After all, he had to consider what kind of weapons were more suitable for him. Furthermore, even if he had planned everything, he would still need to obtain a special flame to refine the weapon. Only then would he be able to make the weapon more perfect when he was refining it. With this, ten days after Qin Chen had tamed Ancient Sage Peng Wei, the Canglan Continent was still in a state of tension. During this period, the people of the world had been paying close attention to the news, wanting to know the outcome of the negotiations between the human race and the roc imperial clan. On the tenth day, an unparalleled and terrifying power suddenly erupted from the west. Two terrifying pillars of light shot up into the sky like pillars that held up the heavens. The sky in the west was shaking, and billions of living beings were trembling. In the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen was naturally alarmed as well. He looked toward the western sky and revealed a rare look of surprise. Within his body, the mysterious original ancient weapon, the Desolate Pagoda, started to tremble slightly. Beside him, Ancient Sage Peng Wei exclaimed in shock, ¡°It¡¯s a fluctuation of the extreme dao. Is an extreme dao battle about to break out? ¡± Extreme dao was the domain of the ancient emperors. Naturally, now that the ancient emperors had all left and no longer existed in this world, the so-called extreme dao battle was caused by the revival of extreme ancient weapons and was extremely terrifying. Even though Ancient Sage Peng Wei wasn¡¯t in his race now, he knew that the four immortal divine dynasties of the human race had all headed to the roc imperial clan. Since they were the imperial clans of the human race, there was a high chance that they had also brought extreme ancient weapons. Once an extreme dao battle really broke out, the consequences would be countless times more terrifying than the battle between Supreme Sages. The entire Canglan Continent was shaken, and the whole world was in shock! Qin Chen¡¯s expression darkened. If an extreme dao battle broke out, the consequences would be severe. Furthermore, the ancient Sages of the four immortal divine dynasties had all gone to the roc imperial clan just for him. He naturally could not watch them get into trouble. With that in mind, he was about to leave immediately. However, soon, the two light beams dissipated. The extreme dao battle did not break out in the end. Only then did Qin Chen withdraw his foot. At the same time, the negotiations came to an end. The roc imperial clan gave in and no longer demanded the human Sage King be handed over. They were willing to live in peace with the human race. The whole world was in an uproar! No one knew what the ancient Sages of the four immortal celestial dynasties had said during the negotiations when they went to the roc imperial clan. But to think that in the end, the roc imperial clan, an ancient imperial clan, had to give in and promise not to pursue the responsibility of the human Sage King. This was unbelievable to many of the ancient races, especially the surviving members of the space race and the whale race. Many ancient Sages of the ancient races thus rushed to the roc imperial clan, hoping to know the final answer. Upon hearing the news, Ancient Sage Peng Wei¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. To think the roc imperial clan, an ancient imperial clan that ruled over all races in the primordial age had backed down. What exactly happened during the negotiation? Even if the humans had extreme ancient weapons, they couldn¡¯t force the roc imperial clan to back down, right? Soon, the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Sage King and the Ancient Sage Jing Tian decided to make a trip to the Taiyi Holy Land on the way back to the Central Province. Naturally, they were welcomed with the highest level of respect by the upper echelons of the Taiyi Holy Land. Qin Chen had also come out to meet the two ancient Sages of the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°The two of you, please come in,¡± Qin Chen took the initiative to invite the two of them to his holy peak. When Ancient Sage Jing Tian saw Ancient Sage Peng Wei, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in shock, ¡°To think that the dignified Ancient Sage Pengwei of an ancient imperial clan would be tamed by you, Minister. You are truly extraordinary.¡± Qin Chen smiled, ¡°It¡¯s just so-so. I¡¯d like to know what happened when you two went to the roc imperial clan. Why did they give in in the end?¡± Chapter 122 - Both Parties Compromise To be honest, Qin Chen did not believe that the roc imperial clan would back down for no reason. Perhaps something had happened during the confrontation between the extreme ancient weapon where the extreme dao battle almost broke out at the end. That happening had made it so that even the powerful roc imperial clan had to retreat. One couldn¡¯t help but think deeply about the matters within. Now that two of the people involved were here, the best way was to ask directly. While he was asking, Qin Chen was not idle. He took out a jade bottle and poured fragrant divine spring water into a teapot that was on a fire, and the fragrance of tea flowed out. The two Ancient Sages had gone to the roc imperial clan for him, so he naturally could not mistreat them. He immediately took out the meditation tea leaves that he had received as a reward for checking in and brewed them with divine spring water for the two Ancient Sages¡¯ enjoyment. Soon, the tea was ready. He poured tea. Among the two, the Sage King of the Great Qin Dynasty was called Sage King Riyue. He was not as old as the Ancient Sage Jing Tian, and his blood energy was still strong. He wore a divine robe inlaid with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars. Sitting on the guest seat, he took a sip of the tea that Qin Chen had brewed with the divine spring and immediately felt his mind become more focused. He then exclaimed, ¡°To think it¡¯s the meditation tea brewed from the legendary meditation tea leaves. Thank you.¡± The meditation tea leaves were produced by the legendary meditation tea tree that would only produce 1296 tea leaves every hundred years. Every single meditation tea leaf was a rare treasure in the world. They contained traces of the Heaven and Earth Dao and had magical effects in helping one to meditate and comprehend. The meditation tea tree was located in the depths of the absolutely forbidden land, the Emperor Burial Abyss. The Emperor Burial Abyss had three gradients. The deeper the gradient, the more dangerous it was. The meditation tea tree was located in the depths of the Emperor Burial Abyss¡¯s second gradient. Even an ancient Sage would face the danger of death if they stepped in. However, because the meditation tea leaves had magical effects on meditating and comprehending, many Holy Lords, Imperial Lords, and Family Lords would try their best to obtain them. Every hundred years, they would send people into the first gradient of the Emperor Burial Abyss which was relatively less dangerous. At those times, strange winds that came from nowhere would blow some meditation tea leaves out from the second gradient that would then be caught by people from the outside world. Not many tea leaves could be obtained, usually only about a hundred. Even the Great Qin Dynasty, which had the inheritance and extreme orthodoxy of a great emperor, only had some such tea leaves. After so many years, they had only accumulated a few hundred meditation tea leaves. After all, there were too many immortal inheritances or powerful cultivators that were after the meditation tea leaves. Of course, Qin Chen didn¡¯t have to go through so much trouble. Over the years, he had checked in and obtained thousands of meditation tea leaves. To him, the tea leaves were just considered normal. Ancient Sage Jing Tian took a sip as well and swirled the tea in his mouth. He comprehended carefully and felt that his mind was also greatly enhanced. He sighed in amazement, ¡°Although I¡¯ve been born for quite some time now, I have only tasted three meditation tea leaves that I have brewed repeatedly. How could I have tasted the tea brewed from the many tea leaves in the hands of the Minister?¡± Indeed. Qin Chen brewed ten meditation tea leaves in one go. He could be said to be simply rich. Furthermore, the more meditation tea leaves there were in a pot of tea, the better the effect of enlightenment. Qin Chen smiled. He would not treat them shabbily. He took out a jade box and said, ¡°These days, the two of you have spoken up for me, much to my thanks. I don¡¯t have much to offer, but please take this as a small token of my respect.¡± Sage King Riyuen and Ancient Sage Jing Tian took the jade box and opened it. Inside were over a hundred meditation tea leaves and a jade bottle on the other side. They could sense that the bottle contained more than a jar of divine spring water, which was equally precious. The two of them were taken aback, and they hurriedly declined, ¡°Minister, this gift is too precious. It¡¯s not appropriate for us to accept it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re being too polite,¡± Qin Chen waved his hand. Since he insisted, Sage King Riyue and Ancient Sage JingTian could only accept it gratefully. They were increasingly satisfied with Qin Chen and felt that they had not done wrong in choosing to help the latter. Sage King Riyue looked at the Minister, who was surrounded by chaotic light, and didn¡¯t ask to see his face. He continued to sip the tea made from meditation tea leaves. After he was slightly satisfied from sipping on tea, he said, ¡°The negotiation with the roc imperial clan was indeed a little troublesome. As an ancient imperial clan, the roc imperial clan is naturally very powerful. Furthermore, there are many Ancient Sages in their clan. If we were to really fight, I¡¯m afraid that everyone from the four great immortal divine dynasties would have died. Of course, the roc imperial clan is unwilling to openly offend the four human imperial clans and immortal divine dynasties as well. They didn¡¯t go too far. They just asked the human race to hand you over, or they will fight with the human race.¡± ¡°Even though the roc imperial clan kept saying that they wanted to start a war, we humans aren¡¯t afraid either, including the Great Qin Dynasty. They are an ancient imperial clan, but so are we. We aren¡¯t any weaker than them, so we naturally started with a friendly conversation. It¡¯s just that the roc imperial clan kept on harping on the matter of you suppressing Ancient Sage Peng Wei. They are insistent on us handing you over no matter what. After a long, long negotiation, the negotiations finally came to a standstill. At this moment, the roc imperial clan decided to be ruthless and sent out an old senior.¡± ¡°An old senior?¡± Qin Chen looked at him. ¡°A Supreme Sage,¡± Sage King Riyue said. It was only three words, but it gave people an unbearable sense of pressure. Supreme Sages were existences that dominated the world and were absolute ancient overlords. Chapter 123 - The Forty Although Qin Chen had some confidence in facing the roc imperial clan, the latter was still too strong. No one knew if such an ancient imperial clan had other unknown trump cards. If faced with a Supreme Sage with an extreme ancient weapon, even Qin Chen would have a headache. Moreover, the human race had fought for this result for him, so he couldn¡¯t let them down. Besides, even if he was not afraid of the ancient imperial clan, he still had to consider the Taiyi Holy Land. He could not implicate the Taiyi Holy Land because of him. After sending off Sage King Riyue and Ancient Sage Jingtian, Qin Chen cast a spell to erase any memories of his true appearance in Ancient Sage Peng Wei¡¯s mind before releasing him. ¡°Sage Chen, even though I was suppressed by you for some time, I still admire you very much. If there¡¯s a chance, please come to the roc imperial clan as a guest. I, Peng Wei, will be the host myself,¡± Even though Ancient Sage Peng Wei was overjoyed, he did not feel aggrieved at all during his stay in the Taiyi Holy Land. On the contrary, he was impressed by Qin Chen¡¯s strength. After all, for someone to be able to become a Sage and even a Sage King in the Dharma-ending Age was heaven-defying in itself. ¡°I¡¯ll go if I have the chance,¡± Qin Chen said with a smile. Not now, though. He would only go to the ancient imperial clan after he became a Supreme Sage. Ancient Sage Peng Wei transformed into a golden-winged roc and let out a long screech before shooting into the distance. The Taiyi Holy Land regained its peace. Qin Chen sighed. It was a pity that he didn¡¯t have a Sage realm mount anymore. That being said, a mount wasn¡¯t that useful to him. Besides, letting the other party go would extinguish all future trouble. After this round of negotiations between the human race and the roc imperial can, the friction between the human race and the ancient races had greatly reduced. The ancient races were quite well-informed. After some inquiries, they finally learned that a Supreme Sage senior had come from the human race with an extreme emperor weapon and went to the roc imperial clan. A great war almost broke out, which made many ancient races¡¯ hair stand on end. Although the ancient races knew that the human race was strong, they had thought that there was a limit to how strong the latter was. They thought that the human race lacked Sages and was far inferior to the ancient races. This was especially so because the whale race had devoured billions of humans as food, yet only a single human Sage King had stepped out to stop them. Thus, their fear of the human race was limited. Who would have expected that a human Supreme Sage would suddenly appear out of thin air? A Supreme Sage was an unparalleled expert who could suppress the entire Canglan Continent. Within the ten thousand ancient races, existences at this level could be counted in one¡¯s hands. Even the ancient imperial clans were fearful of Supreme Sages. More importantly, the human Supreme Sage had also brought an extreme ancient weapon with him, which was utmost terrifying. Think about it. In the future, if a human Supreme Sage brought the extreme emperor weapon with him while patrolling the ancient races, he could just smash his weapon down if he was in a bad mood, and a strong ancient race would be wiped out on the spot. Which ancient race could withstand the covetous eyes of a Supreme Sage who had an extreme emperor weapon? It was also because of this that even the powerful ancient imperial clan had no choice but to back down. The various ancient races had no choice but to re-examine the current human race and not be as unbridled as before. The world seemed to have returned to peace. However, many experts in the human race knew that this was only a temporary period of peace. The ancient races seemed to be afraid of the human race, but this was only temporary. As time passed and more and more ancient races appeared, including the other ancient imperial clans, the number of powerful figures among the ten thousand ancient races would continue to increase, and there would be many ancient Sages and even Supreme Sages. Sooner or later, it was very likely that the situation would return to the ten thousand ancient races looking down on the human race. Unless a few more Supreme Sages emerged from the human race or even an ancient Emperor, only then could the situation be stabilized. In such a peaceful time, another three years passed by. During these three years, while Qin Chen was cultivating and checking in, he also gradually mastered the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll. Of course, that was all there was to it. Ultimately, the scroll was the essence of an ancient Emperor¡¯s entire life. Unless Qin Chen reached the Emperor Realm, he would never be able to fully comprehend it. In the past three years, he had also started to refine some weapons. He had only managed to refine an intermediate-grade weapon at the start, and the highest he had managed to forge was a Qiyao Realm King weapon. After all, weapon refinement was very similar to pill refinement. One couldn¡¯t just achieve whatever grade one wanted for the end product. One also needed to inscribe the corresponding path law patterns and consider the problem of the materials used for the weapon. All this was very important. For Qin Chen to be able to forge a Qiyao Realm intermediate-grade King weapon within a year was due to the similarity between weapon and pill refinement. This allowed his weapon refinement skills to improve at a godly speed. Chapter 124 - Peerless The forty-nine spirit forging weapons technique was one of the top-tier weapon refinement techniques created by the ancient Emperor Duantian. It specialized in refining weapons. While the weapon was being shaped, it could also purify all the impurities in the materials, making the rough embryo ten times more condensed. It could be said to be one of the ancient Emperor Duantian techniques that had not passed on to anyone. In the vast world, apart from the descendants of the ancient Emperor Duantian¡¯s descendants, no one else had ever mastered such a profound smithing technique. If word of this got out, it would definitely make all the blacksmiths in the world go crazy with envy. After all, it was the greatest imperial technique in the art of blacksmithing. Now, with the disappearance of the ancient Emperor Duantian¡¯s race and the missing of the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, Qin Chen was the only person in the world who mastered the technique. Every time Qin Chen struck with the heavy Heaven-shaking Hammer that was as heavy as a planet, he would combine all his divine power, physical power, and soul power into one into the Heaven-shaking Hammer. Then, he would heavily strike the rough embryo, causing many impurities to be removed, turning it into balls of dazzling fireworks that scattered in all directions. The whole embryo began to sublimate. ¡°Boom boom boom boom boom!¡± Qin Chen held the Heaven-shaking Hammer and used the mysterious rhythm of the forty-nine divine weapon refining techniques to hammer the hard star blue silver. Each strike was powerful enough to kill a Sage and sink the entire Taiyi Holy Land, but was eventually resolved by the Sage King level array Qin Chen had set up in the holy peak. As such, his movements didn¡¯t affect the outside world. However, such a powerful strike could only slightly change the shape of the star blue silver. As expected of the legendary Supreme Sage grade material. As a peerless material that even Supreme Sages used to make weapons, it was indeed extremely hard. Qin Chen waved his Heaven-shaking Hammer and struck the embryo again and again. After a total of forty-nine times, the piece of star blue silver, which was originally the size of a water tank, was finally hammered into the shape of a weapon that Qin Chen wanted, a bow and arrows! That¡¯s right, he was going to make a bow and arrows. However, this was only the initial form. If he wanted to really make the weapon, it would still take some time. He continued to swing the Heaven-shaking Hammer. With the weight of the stars and his terrifying strength, he once again used the forty-nine divine weapons refining techniques to hammer the rough embryo. After ten rounds of using the forty-nine divine weapons refining techniques, the star blue silver that even a Supreme Sage would find difficult to destroy was finally refined into a bow and ten arrows. Its overall size had shrunk to about one-tenth of its original size, but it was now also much harder. The Sage King grade bow and arrows looked extremely domineering. The bow was like a bull¡¯s horn, and the arrows were three meters long, looking more like spears. Of course, this wasn¡¯t the end. This was only a simple form of the weapon he wanted. He still needed to fuse other materials into them and carve Sage King-grade dao patterns into the weapon. Qin Chen continued to perform the forty-nine divine weapon refining techniques, melting various extraordinary materials in the Sage furnace into the weapon. At the same time, he drew Sage King dao patterns with his Chaotic Divine Power, adding them to the bow and arrows. After three days and three nights, a true Sage King grade bow was successfully refined. The moment it was completed, a terrifying light beam shot up from the holy peak into the sky, shocking everyone. ¡°Boom!¡± The sky suddenly resounded with terrifying thunderclaps. A weapon tribulation! It was just like how the birth of a top-grade pill would cause a pill tribulation, when a top-tier weapon appeared, there would also be a weapon tribulation. The entire Taiyi Holy Land was shocked. Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was watching, but they were only slightly surprised. Such occurrences might be shocking to others, but everyone in the holy land was used to seeing how monstrous the Elder King was to the point they were already numb to the shock. However, this time, everyone discovered that the heavenly tribulation seemed to be very different. It was particularly terrifying. ¡°Has Sage Chen made another Sage weapon? Hmm? This doesn¡¯t seem to be a simple Sage weapon such that its aura is even more terrifying,¡± Long Zhu, who was cultivating in a mountain in the Taiyi Holy Land, raised her huge head, which was as big as a small mountain, with a touch of surprise in her eyes. Qin Chen immediately took the Sage King-grade bow and arrows before soaring into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the starry sky and arrived in the vast star fragment belt. At this moment, the terrifying weapon tribulation that enveloped a hundred thousand miles suddenly descended. Qin Chen let the bow and arrow soar to take the tribulation head-on. Although the weapon tribulation of a Sage King grade weapon was not as terrifying as a cultivator¡¯s Sage King heavenly tribulation, it was still more terrifying than an ordinary Sagely heavenly tribulation. Countless thick bolts of rainbow lightning struck down, continuously bombarding the Sage King-grade bow and arrows, refining the weapons to become even more terrifying as they were constantly sublimated in the weapon tribulation. After more than half a day, the Sage King-grade bow and arrow finally finished its tribulation. They suddenly released an unparalleled sharp light, shining in the starry sky. It was as if a new sun had risen, causing the ancient Sages who had been alarmed by the weapon tribulation to pale. ¡°That¡¯s a Sage King-grade bow and arrow that is of a very high grade. Wait, it seems to be at the legendary peerless grade, right?¡± ¡°A Sage King peerless-grade weapon?!¡± ¡°Heavens, to think someone managed to forge a Sage King peerless-grade weapon?! There¡¯s actually such a top grandmaster blacksmith in the world!¡± ¡°Even in an ancient refiners¡¯ race like the flame race, I¡¯m afraid there aren¡¯t many who can forge a Sage King peerless-grade weapon, right? ¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a grandmaster refiner in the human race?¡± Chapter 125 - Peerless ¡°Isn¡¯t this man the mysterious human Sage King? I heard from Ancient Sage Peng Wei that he¡¯s the Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land. To think that he¡¯s able to forge a Sage King supreme-grade weapon!¡± ¡°Could it be that this Elder King is also a refining master?¡± ¡­ All the ancient Sages were shocked. A Sage King supreme-grade weapon was definitely heaven-defying. No supreme-grade weapon had ever been seen after so many years, let alone at the Sage King level. Never mind this era, even in the prosperous primordial era, many refiners could make such weapons. Those who could make supreme-grade weapons were all true refining masters, without exception. Their status was not much lower than that of tenth-grade pill Sage Kings. Both were honored guests of all factions. However, many of the ancient Sages immediately recognized the person holding the Sage King-grade bow and arrows. The chaotic light around him showed that he was the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, Qin Chen had only erased Ancient Sage Peng Wei¡¯s memories of his true identity. He did not erase the fact that he was the Elder King. After Ancient Sage Peng Wei returned, he naturally informed the roc imperial clan of everything, and with the ¡°help¡± of some of his fellow race members, everyone else in the ten thousand ancient races learned about it as well. Therefore, everyone already knew that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land had not only become a Sage, but he was even a Sage King. In the past, the ancient races would have been shocked and even harbored killing intent toward Qin Chen since they couldn¡¯t bear to see a human successfully become a Sage King in the Dharma-ending age. After all, now that the world was recovering, the other party had the terrifying potential to become a Supreme Sage. However, now that a human Supreme Sage had stood up for the other party, and the human imperial clans were behind him, the ancient races did not dare to offend him either. Moreover, the other party was a ruthless man who had exterminated several powerful ancient races in succession. Even the pegasus race had been exterminated before the space race was exterminated. He was truly worthy of being addressed as an ancient race murderer. A vicious Sage King who could easily exterminate an entire race was not someone an ordinary ancient race could afford to offend. Qin Chen held the Sage King-level bow and arrows with satisfaction. After practicing the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll for three years, he had finally successfully made a Sage King-level weapon. Of course, although the Sage King supreme-grade weapon was extraordinary, it would not be his main weapon. He just wanted to see if he could refine a supreme-grade weapon. The Sage King-level bow¡¯s main body was blue-silver with black, red, and white runes carved on it. It exuded a Sage King¡¯s might, which was quite extraordinary. ¡°What name is befitting of this Sage King supreme-grade bow?¡± Qin Chen thought to himself. Suddenly, a powerful wave of Sage power appeared like lightning. It was trying to take the Sage King-level weapon away from him. There was a strong Sagely might in the power. A Sage King! After all, even many Sage Kings only had intermediate-grade weapons. Only seldomly would one or two have advanced-grade weapons, let alone supreme-grade weapons. Now that they saw such a Sage King supreme-grade weapon, they were naturally envious. ¡°To think you dare to snatch my weapon,¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned cold immediately. Since he had refined this set of bow and arrows, he could use it now to see its power. Qin Chen casually dissipated the Sage King-level divine power and immediately nocked a Sage King arrow on the Sage King bow. He pulled, and the Sage King supreme-grade bow was drawn, instantly becoming a full moon shape with boundless strength. The moment the spear-like Sage King arrow was nocked and the bow was drawn, countless Sage path laws surged from all directions and entered the arrow. The Sage King arrow was thus covered in light as it exuded a terrifying Sage King aura. The starry sky and the void trembled, unable to bear the energy. The Sage King arrow was aimed at the hiding mysterious ancient Sage who had tried to snatch the weapon. The mysterious ancient Sage¡¯s expression changed drastically. He could feel the danger from 300000 miles away. He immediately revealed his true form and a vast world of darkness engulfed the place as he said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, please don¡¯t be rash!¡± ¡°Sage King Ming Ye!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this senior to be alerted as well!¡± ¡°It¡¯s no wonder, though. Even back in the primordial ages, not many Sage Kings had Sage King supreme-grade weapons. Sage King Ming Ye naturally wants one. After all, once he has them, his strength would increase greatly.¡± ¡°However, this human Elder King is not a simple person.¡± ¡­ All the ancient Sages recognized the ancient Sage who had tried to snatch the bow. Sage King Ming Ye was from one of the ancient races. He had become a Sage King at the end of the primordial era. Not long after he was revived in this era, he was already a powerful existence. He saw that Qin Chen had forged a Sage King weapon that turned out to be of the supreme grade after passing the weapon tribulation, and thus could not help but be tempted. After all, a Sage King supreme-grade weapon could greatly increase a Sage King¡¯s strength. It was definitely a valuable weapon that countless ancient Sages would be envious of. However, Sage King Ming Ye didn¡¯t expect the refiner to find his true location, and his expression instantly changed. Qin Chen did not care though. Since the other party dared to attack him, he would naturally have to pay the corresponding price. The Sage King arrow had already locked onto Sage King Ming Ye. It shot out! Boom! Wherever the Sage King arrow passed, the void was annihilated. Its speed was extreme. In the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared from sight. ¡°So fast!¡± ¡°As expected of a supreme-grade weapon. It¡¯s truly terrifying!¡± ¡°If one is hit by the Sage King supreme-grade arrow like this one, even a Sage King like Sage King Ming Ye would most probably be dead.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget that the human Elder King who attacked is also a Sage King. Even if he has just stepped into the Sage King realm, the attack from a Sage King supreme-grade weapon is enough to cross two or three minor realms and seriously injure a Sage King of a higher level! The moment the Sage King arrow disappeared, everyone¡¯s expressions changed. They knew that Sage King Ming Ye was in big trouble. Boom! In just a few seconds, an extremely terrifying destructive fluctuation erupted three hundred thousand miles away from where Qin Chen was. A few meteorites with a diameter of a hundred miles nearby were affected and exploded. Vast bloody light and terrifying destructive fluctuations erupted, accompanied by shrill screams. An ancient Sage was crushed to pieces and his aura soon disappeared. Dead! ¡°Sage King Ming Ye has died!¡± All the ancient Sages were shocked. All of them gasped when they sensed that Sage King Ming Ye¡¯s aura had completely disappeared. Sage King Ming Ye was from the ancient races. Although he had only become a Sage King at the end of the primordial era, he had shocked the world in recent years and was a very powerful Sage King. But now, he was killed in one shot. Was this the terrifying power of a Sage supreme-grade weapon? What they didn¡¯t consider was that although the Sage King supreme-grade bow was terrifying, the truly terrifying one was Qin Chen. After all, he wasn¡¯t an ordinary Sage King. Since Sage King Ming Ye had only broken through to the Sage King realm not long before those in the primordial era were forced into hibernation, he was destined to be crushed by Qin Chen in a one-on-one battle. Added to the fact that he was being attacked by the Sage King bow, his death was definite. Whoosh! A tri-colored arrow covered in radiant Sage source pierced through the void and returned to Qin Chen¡¯s side. There were still traces of blood on the sharp arrow. The Sage source was the Sage King source of Sage King Ming Ye. Qin Chen removed Sage King Ming Ye¡¯s Sage source and destroyed his divine soul. Then, he put away the complete Sage King source with satisfaction. Following this, he looked at the bow and arrow set and said, ¡°Since you killed an ancient race¡¯s Sage King as soon as you were born, I¡¯ll call you the Sage-slaying Bow and Sage-slaying Arrow from now on!¡± With that, he officially named the bow and arrows. Sage-slaying. They lived up to their name! Moreover, the weapon had killed a Sage King, which made it even more powerful! After killing an ancient race¡¯s Sage King, Qin Chen was still fine. He turned around and left, leaving the other ancient Sages in shock. After three years, the human race¡¯s Elder King appeared once more. This time, he had refined a Sage King supreme-grade weapon and killed an ancient race¡¯s Sage King, proving his might! Chapter 126 - Endless Storms, Ling Rans Tribulation 1 Qin Chen returned from outer space with the Sage King supreme-grade bow and arrows that had passed the weapon tribulation. He landed in the Taiyi Holy Land. As for what had happened in the outer realm, it was too far away and the realms involved were too high, so no one in the Taiyi Holy Land knew. Only Lord Dragon had keen eyes and knew a lot. When he saw Qin Chen return, he knew that they were fine. However, he still ran to Qin Chen and smiled bitterly, ¡°Sage Chen, you¡¯ve already killed enough ancient Sages of the ancient race. You¡¯ve even exterminated three ancient races, and now you¡¯ve killed another ancient race¡¯s Sage King. You¡¯ll be in big trouble. There aren¡¯t many Sage Kings in the ancient race. Now that you¡¯ve killed one, plus the fact Sage King Ming Ye is from the netherworld race that is in the top 30 of the top 100 ancient races, this will probably cause quite a bit of trouble.¡± In his eyes, Sage Chen was simply an ancient race murderer. The ancient races had only started reviving for a short time now, but three powerful ancient races had already been annihilated by Qin Chen, and now, he had killed a Sage King. If he was allowed to continue, would Sage Chen kill an ancient race¡¯s Supreme Sage, and even annihilate an ancient imperial clan? Just thinking about it made his heart race from fear. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? I wish I could kill a Sage King every day,¡± Qin Chen pouted. After all, he could use the Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique in the Chaotic Imperial Sutra to refine the Sage source which would then nourish him. One Sage King source would save him many years of cultivation. Furthermore, if an ordinary Sage King came to find trouble with him, it was simply an act of courting death. Besides, so what if the netherworld race was one of the top 30 races in the 100 ancient races? He still had the Great Qin Dynasty, Emperor Shi¡¯s race, behind him. Lord Dragon, ¡°¡­¡± ¡°What about you?¡± Qin Chen glanced at Lord Dragon, ¡°You¡¯re still only at level 8 of the Bahuang Realm. Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?¡± Lord Dragon, ¡°¡­¡± He wanted to cry, but he had no tears. Did Qin Chen think that everyone was as monstrous as him? For him to have cultivated from level 5 to level 8 in just a dozen years was already very fast! ¡°Sage Chen,¡± Lord Dragon suddenly said, ¡°Ling Ran is already at the peak of the Qiyao Realm. If there are no accidents, she will advance to the Bahuang Realm in less than three years.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. In the past three years, he had been very concerned about the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s development. Three years ago, when he revealed his identity as a Sage at the All Races Banquet, it shocked the world. Many humans were shocked. They knew that the Elder King was an expert, but they thought he was only a Bahuang Venerable. They didn¡¯t expect him to be a Jiutian Sage. After that, with the ¡°advertisement¡± of the roc imperial clan, everyone in the world knew that the Elder King was the Sage King who had destroyed the pegasus race, the space race, and the whale race. Although they still didn¡¯t know which of the Taiyi Hold Land¡¯s disciples the Elder King was, a Sage King was still a golden signboard. This was especially so in this era when the ten thousand ancient races were emerging one after another. As such, more geniuses were attracted to join the Taiyi Holy Land. Therefore, in the past three years, more than a hundred talented geniuses had chosen to join. The Taiyi Holy Land was no longer the same as it was in the past. It was thriving day by day. With all the treasures and resources of the pegasus race, the space race, and the whale race, plus the fact that Qin Chen was very concerned about the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s development, he built an even more powerful Sage King level array on the foundation of the original Sage array. At a critical moment, it could allow the Taiyi Holy Land to resist the attacks of Sage Kings for a short time. At the same time, he guided the cultivation of Lord Dragon, Lu Xuan, Ling Ran, the five demon kings of the Demon Valley, and other powerful cultivators. As a Chaotic Sage King who had the inheritances of many ancient great emperors, Qin Chen could easily see the problems in their cultivation and explain the problems in an easily comprehensible way. Under Qin Chen¡¯s guidance, Lord Dragon and the others had also broken through many difficulties in their cultivation and achieved major or minor breakthroughs. Especially since these people were all loyal to him, Qin Chen was naturally not stingy. From time to time, he would refine some pills to help them break through. Lord Dragon had thus advanced from level 5 to level 8 in just a dozen years. It could be said that his cultivation speed was amazing, as he had advanced by a small realm every few years. Unfortunately, even so, Qin Chen still thought that his progress was slow. As for Lu Xuan, he had reached the peak of the Qiyao realm, and so did Ling Ran. She caught up from behind and vaguely showed signs of breaking through to the Bahuang realm. Among the grand elders, a few had reached the Qiyao realm as well. The entire Taiyi Holy Land had been upgraded in the past three years. If they did not move forward under the leadership of Qin Chen, a Chaotic Sage King with a system, he would¡¯ve been extremely disappointed. The Elder King¡¯s killing of Sage King Ming Ye naturally caused quite a stir in the outside world. However, after learning that Sage King Ming Ye had been killed because he had tried to steal the Elder King¡¯s Sage King supreme-grade weapon, many ancient race members sighed. The human race was simply too powerful, especially the Elder King. Only three years had passed, and he had made another move. This time, it was even more serious, as he had killed an ancient race¡¯s Sage King. The storm that had been stirred up this time was not small either. On the other hand, all the ancient races also learned from various sources that the bow and arrows that had passed the weapon tribulation were refined by this human Elder King. There was no doubt that the news stirred up an even greater storm. Anyone who could forge an advanced-grade Sage weapon could be considered a refining master. In the primordial era, such a person would¡¯ve been treated as a guest of honor by the ten thousand ancient races. Chapter 127 - Endless Storms, Ling Rans Tribulation 2 The mysterious human Elder King had refined a Sage King supreme-grade weapon without anyone knowing. Other than refining masters, who else could make one? However, even in the primordial era times, a refining master was an absolutely distinguished figure. Even among the major refiner races and families, only a few such figures were ever produced. Such refiners who could be considered to be on equal footing with the Supreme Sages were rare, but even the ancient imperial clans had to treat them with the utmost respect. Although the death of Sage King Ming Ye made the experts of the netherworld race clamor to kill the human Elder King at all costs, not many thought that they could do anything to the Elder King. After all, even the roc imperial clan had personally tried to do so in the past, and everyone was well aware of the outcome. The matter had still been suppressed in the end. Now that the Elder King had an added identity as a refining master, the human race would protect him no matter what. Even the ancient imperial clans would have to consider whether they should offend such a refining master. After all, no matter if it was an alchemist or a weapon refiner, both parties had shocking power. With a call of friends, it was not a big deal for them to get countless experts on their side. Moreover, Qin Chen was a refining master who had even more power. Qin Chen was naturally too lazy to care about the gossip in the outside world. However, because his identity as a refiner had been exposed and he had forged a Sage King supreme-grade weapon, many in the outside world thought that he was a refining master. This caused many forces to take the initiative to befriend him, including many ancient races. Only then did Qin Chen realize that the status of a refining master was far more shocking than he had imagined. Half a month later, a terrifying fluctuation of the heavenly tribulation suddenly appeared in the world. It was Ling Ran¡¯s turn to pass her heavenly tribulation. She had cultivated for many years and finally entered the Bahuang realm, becoming a Venerable. Under the watchful eyes of the entire Taiyi Holy Land, she passed the terrifying Bahuang realm tribulation. Lu Xuan and the other Qiyao Kings paid extra close attention to such a heavenly tribulation. Now that heaven and earth were gradually recovering, the Great Path would not be as difficult as it had been in the past. As such, they had a high chance of entering the ranks of the Bahuang realm. This was especially true for Lu Xuan, who was also at the peak of the Qiyao realm. He had a high chance of stepping into the Bahuang realm shortly. Watching someone else pass the tribulation now would be of great help to him when he stepped into the Bahuang realm in the future. Boom! The terrifying Bahuang realm heavenly tribulation continued to descend, destroying the world and causing everyone¡¯s expressions to change. Fortunately, Ling Ran transcended her heavenly tribulation high up in the sky, and the Taiyi Holy Land was protected by a great array, so it was not affected too much. Finally, after half a day, Ling Ran finally finished transcending her tribulation. She was covered in blood and her aura was weak as she gradually fell from the sky. At this moment, Qin Chen appeared. With a wave of his hand, the surging life essence between heaven and earth surged into Ling Ran¡¯s body, causing her wounds to heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. At the same time, Qin Chen flicked his finger, and a crystal clear medicinal pill appeared. He landed in front of Ling Ran and said, ¡°Consume it and it can quickly heal your internal injuries.¡± Ling Ran naturally knew that Elder King would not harm her, so she immediately took the pill, and her dispirited aura quickly rose again. Her momentum was rising steadily, and she soon completely recovered. She had long witnessed the magical effects of the Elder King¡¯s pill, so she was not too surprised. ¡°Many thanks for the Elder King¡¯s pill,¡± Ling Ran bowed and thanked him. ¡°You¡¯re welcome!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Holy Lord!¡± Everyone in the Holy Land congratulated Ling Ran for successfully passing the heavenly tribulation and becoming a Venerable. Lu Xuan, the old Holy Lord, also sighed with emotion. This disciple of his had stepped into the Bahuang realm before him. Qin Chen nodded slightly. Ling Ran had the Zixia Body, after all. Although her cultivation speed was very fast, it was not surprising that she could become a Bahuang Venerable in less than a hundred years. After becoming a Venerable, Ling Ran seemed even more spiritual as she seemed to vaguely become one with heaven and earth. Every movement she made seemed to be fairy-like and extraordinary. Vaguely, she had a trace of the legendary Zixia Empress¡¯s aura. Lu Xuan said with a smile, ¡°Ling Ran, you¡¯re now one of the top experts in the Taiyi Holy Land, second only to the Elder King and Lord Dragon.¡± Indeed, although the Taiyi Holy Land had been in the limelight in recent years and had the protection of the Elder King, a Sage King, in fact, its overall strength was not strong. It was seriously lacking experts in the middle realms. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, besides the Elder King, there was only Lord Dragon, an outsider Venerable. Now, someone truly from the holy land had finally reached the Bahuang realm. This undoubtedly increased the power of the entire Taiyi Holy Land. This was especially so since Ling Ran was still very young. She was only about 100 years old, and she had already become a Bahuang Venerable. She had a great chance of becoming a Sage in the future. She could even become a Sage King like the Elder King or even a Supreme Sage. Ling Ran looked at Elder King, who was surrounded by light. Although she had become one of the youngest Venerables in the world, she was not arrogant. On the contrary, she said calmly, ¡°In the current era of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ revival, a Bahuang Venerable can only be considered to barely have some say in matters. If I want to truly have the right to speak, I¡¯ll have to at least reach the Jiutian realm. Otherwise, I won¡¯t have the right to speak if I¡¯m not a Sage.¡± Qin Chen nodded. Ling Ran could see all this very clearly. In the present world, the status of Bahuang Venerables was indeed not as superior as before the ten thousand ancient races reappeared. In today¡¯s world, indeed, only Sages had the initial right to speak. If one wanted to have more say, one had to be a Sage King like Qin Chen, or have a strong background like the ancient and current imperial clans, or the emperors¡¯ races. Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran. She was, after all, the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land. Although her weapon had grown into a Venerable weapon with her, it could only be considered to be at the intermediate grade. As such, he said, ¡°Ling Ran, if you¡¯re free, can you let me slightly refine your weapon and increase its grade?¡± Hearing this, Ling Ran¡¯s expression brightened. She knew that the Elder King was an unfathomable refining master, and he had just forged a Sage King supreme-grade weapon not long ago. If he could help to refine her weapon, its grade could at least be raised by one level. With that, she immediately took out the weapon that she had refined, a three-foot-long divine sword that was shining with purple light. It flowed with threads of Venerable power. Ling Ran handed it over with both hands and said respectfully, ¡°Elder King, I don¡¯t have any use for my weapon for the time being. You can give it back to me after you have the time to refine it.¡± Qin Chen took the purple light godly sword and nodded, ¡°Alright, give me a few days.¡± He was very efficient. After he went back, he immediately helped Ling Ran refine the purple light divine sword. It could be seen that although the purple light divine sword was made from extraordinary materials, the refining techniques used were very ordinary. Ling Ran was not to be blamed though. Unless it was made by a family of refiners, the weapons made by ordinary cultivators were mostly only at the beginner grade. Only by keeping the weapon by one¡¯s side for a long time and nurturing the weapon with divine power and path laws could it gradually grow. After Qin Chen returned, the first thing he did was to use the Sage furnace to completely incinerate and refine the purple light divine sword. The purple light divine sword immediately turned into a pool of liquid metal. Then, using a refining technique from the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, he reforged the sword into its original appearance but made it a third smaller. After that, Qin Chen added other extraordinary divine materials as well as many Sage patterns on top of the Dao patterns that Ling Ran had inscribed herself. He also added some Sage King patterns. Clang! When it was done, the purple light divine sword instantly bloomed with resplendent purple light. It hummed and emitted a sword light that far surpassed the past. The supreme grade! Only refining masters like Qin Chen, who had mastered the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll, could upgrade a Venerable weapon by two grades and make it reach the supreme grade. ¡°Ling Ran, come over to my place,¡± Qin Chen transmitted the message. Soon, Ling Ran appeared on the Sages¡¯ peak. When she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar purple light divine sword, she was instantly delighted. It had already taken on a new look and was shining with a sharp light. She hurriedly took it over and carefully caressed it. She could sense that the purple light divine sword had far surpassed its previous level. ¡°The supreme grade!¡± Ling Ran was both shocked and delighted. Chapter 128 - From Now On, Im No Longer a Handyman Ling Ran knew that when the Elder King made a move, the purple light divine sword would at least be upgraded to one higher grade. However, she did not expect that it would be upgraded to the supreme grade in the end. This was definitely a pleasant surprise! A supreme-grade weapon was undoubtedly extremely useful to a cultivator. For example, although she had just stepped into the Bahuang realm, she could cross two or three small realms with the supreme-grade purple light divine sword, allowing her to fight against experienced Bahuang Venerables in level three or level four. The weapon indeed made her stronger. ¡°Many thanks, Elder King!¡± Ling Ran immediately expressed her thanks and fondled the purple light divine sword lovingly. She could sense that the Dao patterns that she had inscribed on the sword were still there. However, the Elder King had sublimated all of them, making most of them reach the Sage level, and some were even Sage King level patterns. To put it bluntly, this purple light divine sword could now be compared to a Sage intermediate-grade weapon. It was also worth mentioning that as Ling Ran¡¯s cultivation increased and she stepped into the Sage realm in the future, the purple light divine sword would thus become a Sage supreme-grade sword even after the sword became a purple light Sage sword. It possessed great potential for growth, and this was truly valuable. Lord Dragon was present at the Sages¡¯ peak as well. As he looked at the purple light divine sword, he was filled with envy. He also wanted to own a supreme-grade weapon. This couldn¡¯t do, he had to find a chance to ask Sage Chen to help him refine a supreme-grade weapon as well. Lord Dragon secretly made up his mind. After receiving the purple light divine sword, Ling Ran prepared to bid farewell and leave. She did not dare to continue disturbing the Elder King, but the latter stopped her and said, ¡°Wait a moment, I still have something for you. This is a Sage robe. You should wear it.¡± Qin Chen took out another Sage robe. It was the one he had obtained when he had checked in back in the Bahuang realm. It was not of much use to him now. Since Ling Ran was the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, she naturally had to be protected. Of course, he had refined the Sage robe again. It was originally an intermediate-grade Sage robe, but now it was in the advanced grade. To make something reach the supreme grade, the energy, time, and resources needed were exorbitant. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t possibly spend so many resources on a Sage robe that was insignificant in his eyes. Therefore, he had only refined it and raised it by one grade in the past three years to better master the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll. Now, Ling Ran had stepped into the Bahuang realm and she was the strongest person in the Taiyi Holy Land other than him and Lord Dragon. In the future, if he was not around and the people or factions whom he had him took the opportunity to take revenge, Ling Ran would be the first to be targeted. Therefore, Qin Chen felt guilty and decided to give the Sage robe to Ling Ran for protection. When Ling Ran saw the Sage robe, she was instantly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and she immediately rejected the offer, ¡°Elder King, I am already very grateful that you can help me raise the grade of my weapon. I cannot accept this Sage robe.¡± Qin Chen shook his head, ¡°This Sage robe is no longer of much use to me. You should wear it. As the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, you must protect yourself.¡± Ling Ran could not refuse such words, so she could only accept the robe and thank him, ¡°Thank you Elder King for bestowing the Sage robe.¡± After bidding farewell to the Elder King, Ling Ran left the hall. At the entrance of the Sages¡¯ peak, she saw Qin Chen¡¯s clone, the 17th Prince, sweeping the floor. Qin Chen would occasionally ask his clone to sweep the floor here. Although Lord Dragon, who knew the truth, had advised Qin Chen many times to reveal his true identity and question the latter just why he had to continue sweeping the floor, Qin Chen simply refused to expose himself, because he found himself enjoying this ordinary feeling. After one¡¯s identity was exposed, it seemed that one would instantly become a senior that everyone looked up to and respected. But after a long time, one would get tired of this feeling, and it was often accompanied by endless troubles. He wouldn¡¯t have the best of both worlds as he did now. On one hand, when he appeared as the Elder King, he would receive the admiration of everyone. On the other hand, he could also appear with his true identity and enjoy ordinary life without so many worries. More importantly, if the ancient race found out that the Elder King was a junior who had only cultivated for a hundred years (they didn¡¯t know about the time acceleration), they would do everything in their power to stop the human race from producing a great emperor. Although Qin Chen was now a Sage King and had sufficient confidence, if a few great Sages from the ten thousand ancient races came with extreme ancient weapons, he would definitely die even if he had the system. He had to wait and see. When he became a Supreme Sage, then he would completely expose his identity. At that time, he would rule the world and have nothing to fear. For now, it was better to continue lying low. When Ling Ran came out and saw Qin Chen¡¯s clone, she naturally could not tell that it was just a clone. All she could see was that the abandoned 17th Prince was still only in the Sancai realm after a hundred years. His talent was just ordinary, but it was still impressive that he could cultivate from a mortal body to this step. She came before Qin Chen¡¯s clone and sighed, ¡°Qin Chen, I know that you¡¯re not accepted by the Great Qin Dynasty and are thus resentful. Even though you¡¯ve been working hard, you¡¯ve rejected the sect¡¯s offer to convert you into an official disciple many times. If you continue like this, you¡¯ll never be able to return to the Great Qin Dynasty. Today, I will decide for you. You will no longer be a handyman. From now on, you will be an official inner disciple. You will receive a monthly salary of spirit stones from the Holy Land for cultivation, and you can also go to other cultivation places in the Holy Land to cultivate. I hope you can cultivate well. As long as you don¡¯t give up, one day, you will make the Great Qin Dynasty look at you in a new light. At that time, you will be accepted again.¡± After that, she turned around and left. Qin Chen, who was left behind, had a look of shock on his face. He suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. He just wanted to be a salted fish who didn¡¯t have to do anything. Why did she insist on him becoming an official inner disciple? However, Ling Ran had already gone far away, and he could not say anything. He couldn¡¯t let his true body, Elder King, come forward to change such a meager decision either. He could only accept this. The next day, Qin Chen went to the handymen¡¯s yard first. Obviously, the handymen¡¯s yard already knew about this. The miscellaneous affairs elder was still the same one from back then, but his cultivation was already at the Wuxing realm. He looked at Qin Chen, who looked like he was in his 40s or 50s because he was hiding his cultivation, and sighed, ¡°Qin Chen, you should have agreed long ago. Although your talent is average, you are still in the Sancai realm, which is enough for you to become an official inner disciple. It¡¯s just that you are a little old as an official disciple.¡± Qin Chen laughed bitterly. He really wanted to stay here. What was wrong with sweeping? He could hide his identity and check in at the same time. If it wasn¡¯t for his identity as a handyman, he wouldn¡¯t have become a Sage King in a short hundred years. After bidding farewell to the elder, Qin Chen also informed his senior brother before heading to the inner sanctum of the Taiyi Holy Land alone. Chapter 129 - Geniuses? You Guys? The inner sect of the Holy Land was naturally more magnificent than the handymen¡¯s yard. Tall palaces and skyscrapers stood between the mountains, where waterfalls poured and spirit cranes flew in the sky. Disciples flew in the air, weaving the scene of an immortal sect which would make countless mortals envious. The secular world yearned for such a place of immortal cultivation. The current Taiyi Holy Land was no longer the same as before. Many disciples of the other Holy Lands and aristocratic families were envious and looked forward to joining the place. Qin Chen had lost count of how many times he had been to the inner sect. He had swept the floor in this place for more than a hundred times and checked in dozens of times. He was very familiar with the place. Of course, this was his first time here as an official disciple. Those who could become inner sect elders were basically all Liuhe Grandmasters. When they saw Qin Chen¡¯s appearance, they were slightly surprised. Then, they saw the recommendation letter from the miscellaneous affairs elder and knew that the Holy Lord had personally spoken, so they frankly accepted him. The inner sect elders did not make things difficult for Qin Chen. After all, the latter had been around in the Holy Land for no less than a hundred years now and had come here to sweep the floor many times. They were somewhat familiar with him. An elder handed over an identity token and an elementary-grade spirit stone with a gentle smile, ¡°Qin Chen, congratulations on becoming an inner sect disciple.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Qin Chen accepted the items with a smile. The token was naturally a symbol of status for inner sect disciples. As for this spirit stone, it was given to inner sect disciples as their monthly training resources. The current Taiyi Holy Land was no longer the same as before. Thanks to the Elder King, the Holy Land had expanded rapidly and had obtained many spirit veins. Other factions had also given the Holy Land spirit veins for the sake of currying favor with the Elder King. As a result, the Taiyi Holy Land was no longer as short of cultivation resources as it had been a hundred years ago. Although they were still not at the point where they could have everything they wanted, they had enough to provide spirit stones for the many elders and disciples to cultivate. It was because of this that the Taiyi Holy Land had made rapid progress in the past 100 years and had produced many experts. Although one spirit stone was not much, it was enough for an inner sect disciple at the Sancai realm to cultivate for a month. In the outside world, many Sancai realm disciples of the Holy Lands and aristocratic families didn¡¯t even have a single elementary-grade spirit stone a month. They only had half an elementary-grade spirit stone, which was already very precious. When Qin Chen received his identity token and spirit stone, the surrounding people started pointing and whispering. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that the handyman who was sweeping floors in the handymen¡¯s yard?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to become an inner sect disciple.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just too useless. I heard that he was already a handyman a hundred years ago. Now, a hundred years have passed, and he¡¯s still only in the Sancai realm. I have to say, his cultivation talent is probably zero.¡± ¡°Hehe, if he wasn¡¯t so useless, why would the imperial clan of the Great Qin Dynasty expel him and demote him to a commoner? They wouldn¡¯t even recognize his status.¡± ¡°What? This old handyman is a Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He was the 17th Prince back then, from the same era as the current Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, the 9th Prince is now the Emperor and I heard that he¡¯s even become a Venerable for a few years now, entering the Bahuang realm before our Holy Lord. Yet, this guy is only in the Sancai realm.¡± ¡°No wonder the old Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty expelled him from the imperial clan. If it were me, I would have done the same. Such a useless piece of trash is an insult to the imperial clan¡¯s dignity.¡± ¡°What bad luck! How could the Holy Land let such trash become an inner sect disciple? It¡¯s an insult to our status to be in the inner sect with old trash like him.¡± ¡­ The surrounding words were filled with mockery and ridicule. It was clear that they despised the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, who had cultivated for a hundred years and only just stepped into the Sancai realm. Many inner sect disciples felt that Qin Chen was damaging their status. Regarding this, Qin Chen was not very angry. After all, with his current status as the Elder King in the Taiyi Holy Land, he felt like an adult looking at a group of kids pointing at him behind his back when he looked at these inner sect disciples. If he got angry because of this, he would be lowering his status. Therefore, Qin Chen¡¯s state of mind was calm, and he didn¡¯t even bother to get angry. Just as Qin Chen was too lazy to even care about them and headed to the waterfall where he first met Ling Ran in the past, ready to ¡°learn¡± how to cultivate from the inner sect disciples, a young inner sect disciple suddenly walked over. He looked at Qin Chen, who was in his forties or fifties, and frowned, ¡°Old handyman, this is my place. You can go and cultivate elsewhere.¡± Qin Chen looked at this young inner sect disciple. The latter looked to be around twenty years old, but he was already in the Sancai realm. His talent was considered decent. Qin Chen didn¡¯t get angry and stood up slowly. He moved to another place and was about to cultivate when another young inner sect disciple ran over and impatiently drove him away, ¡°Old handyman, this is my place. You can go somewhere else.¡± Qin Chen still did not get angry and continued to venture to other places. However, no matter where he went, other inner sect disciples would run over to expel him. Seeing him being continuously expelled, they couldn¡¯t help but sneer. Obviously, it was very satisfying for them to see Qin Chen¡¯s sorry figure. Finally, when an inner sect disciple of the Sixiang realm came over again and waved his hand to expel Qin Chen, the latter was already feeling quite impatient. Qin Chen did not get angry with these inner sect disciples because he saw them as a group of insensible little brats and was too lazy to be angry with them. However, it didn¡¯t mean that he was willing to continue being bullied like this. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the inner sect disciple who had come to expel him. His eyes suddenly became much colder. The inner sect disciple¡¯s heart trembled. However, he was instantly shocked and angry when he felt himself panicking under the gaze of an old handyman while also being stared at by others. With this, he would definitely be a laughingstock. Therefore, the disciple¡¯s tone suddenly became much colder as he scolded, ¡°Old handyman, what are you looking at? This is not a place you are qualified to stay. Get out of here.¡± ¡°You want me to get out?¡± Qin Chen looked at him coldly. The inner sect disciple felt an inexplicable shiver in his heart, but if he showed fear now, he would definitely be laughed at later. Moreover, the other party was just an old handyman, so what was there to be afraid of? As such, the disciple simply sneered, ¡°You¡¯re just an old piece of trash who has only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for a hundred years. Even the Great Qin Dynasty is not willing to accept you and your father expelled you from the imperial clan. Tell me, what right do you have to stay here? Only true geniuses are qualified to stay here.¡± Qin Chen laughed. At this time, he was too lazy to hold back. He glanced at the many inner sect disciples present and sneered, ¡°Genius? You guys?¡± Chapter 130 - Get Out All the inner sect disciples were enraged by Qin Chen¡¯s words. What did he mean by that? Was he saying that they were not geniuses, but mediocre? An inner sect disciple of the Sixiang realm stepped forward and looked at Qin Chen coldly, ¡°Old handyman, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Literally, you¡¯re all a bunch of trash.¡± ¡°Old handyman, we¡¯re all geniuses carefully selected by the Taiyi Holy Land. Most of the inner sect disciples here are only in their early twenties, but they¡¯ve already reached the Sancai realm or even the Sixiang realm. Look at you, you¡¯re already over a hundred years old, and you¡¯re even from the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial clan, yet you¡¯re only in the Sancai realm. If I were you, I would have jumped off a cliff and killed myself,¡± The Sixiang realm disciple mocked. ¡°Senior Brother Yang is right. An old handyman who has cultivated for hundreds of years has finally become an inner sect disciple. Yet, to think he doesn¡¯t cherish all of this and even dares to call us trash. Why don¡¯t you look at yourself? What right do you have to call us trash?¡± ¡°Old handyman, Senior Brother Yang is right. If we were you and only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for a hundred years, we would have jumped off the cliff to commit suicide for being such trash!: ¡°Get out of here! The inner sect doesn¡¯t welcome you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not qualified to stay in the inner sect. Get out!¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡­ At the end of his sentence, all the inner sect disciples looked at Qin Chen angrily and shouted in unison, ¡°Get out!¡± Even the elder who was stationed here couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He shook his head and said in his heart, ¡°This 17th Prince is too much! He¡¯s only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for over a hundred years! It¡¯s not easy for him to get such a great opportunity to cultivate in the inner sect, but to think he has offended all the inner sect disciples at once! Isn¡¯t he just courting death?¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it. He has served the Taiyi Holy Land for many years. I can¡¯t just watch this old handyman get injured by inner sect disciples and be thrown out,¡± The inner sect¡¯s elder was ready to step forward and stop this farce. With his status as an inner sect elder, these inner sect disciples would have to respect his words. He only hoped that this old handyman would not be so arrogant in the future. ¡°Alright, alright¡­¡± The inner sect elder opened his mouth and was prepared to stop them. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly laughed. He looked at the inner sect disciples and sneered, ¡°That¡¯s right. Compared to me, you are indeed a bunch of trash!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Qin Chen. In contrast to the shocked eyes of the inner sect elders, all the inner sect disciples were extremely angry. They looked as if they wanted to swallow Qin Chen whole. They stood up one by one, and even some inner sect disciples who had remained neutral were enraged. He was just an old handyman disciple who had only reached the Sancai realm after cultivating for hundreds of years. Why couldn¡¯t he just cultivate quietly? Why did he have to come out and indiscriminately evaluated all of them as trash? Why did he have to belittle them as if they were worthless? No one could tolerate such ridicule! ¡°Old man, you¡¯re finished!¡± ¡°Useless Prince, you¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°Old handyman, you¡¯ve offended all the inner sect disciples. Don¡¯t even think about walking out of here in one piece!¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a piece of trash from the imperial clan who¡¯s been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty a long time ago. Do you really think that you¡¯re still the mighty Prince from back then?¡± ¡°Today, you will have to pay the price you deserve!¡± All the inner sect disciples were extremely furious. They all strode towards Qin Chen, their auras rippling. Some of them even twisted their joints and made cracking sounds as they stared at Qin Chen with anger. The few inner sect elders had the same cold expression. It should be known that these inner sect disciples were carefully selected from all aspects by the Taiyi Holy Land and had all great talents for cultivation. With the current status of the Taiyi Holy Land in Canglan Continent and the prestige of the Elder King as the human race¡¯s Sage King, any disciple who chose to join the Taiyi Holy Land was by no means leftovers that had been selected by the other major Holy Lands and families. On the contrary, the Taiyi Holy Land now had first pick for most of the talented geniuses who came for the Elder King. Now that a hundred-year-old handyman had willfully evaluated the talented disciples as trash, it would be irrealistic if he didn¡¯t get a lesson. Now that the old handyman was so arrogant, the elders couldn¡¯t continue to interfere as well. Since the former looked down on everyone, he should be taught a lesson. Seeing a group of Sancai and Sixiang realm inner sect disciples, as well as a few true geniuses who had reached the Wuxing realm and were already regarded as candidates for the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, surrounding him, Qin Chen revealed a cold smile. Good, very good. They were impulsive and courageous like youths should be. It was just a pity that they had poor conduct. At this moment, a disciple of the Sancai realm stepped forward and stared at Qin Chen coldly, ¡°Old handyman, we inner sect disciples won¡¯t bully you with numbers. Since you arrogantly think that we are all trash, today, I, Ye Feng, will be the first to challenge you. I¡¯ll let you see the power of a true inner sect disciple.¡± The other inner sect disciples looked coldly as Ye Feng went forward. As inner sect disciples, they naturally had their pride and would not bully others with numbers. Qin Chen looked at Ye Feng and shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, none of you are capable. You should all come at me together.¡± ¡°You¡¯re still so arrogant even now. I¡¯d like to see what capital you have to be arrogant,¡± Ye Feng shouted, ¡°Old handyman, watch carefully!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± He suddenly rushed forward with extreme speed, leaving an afterimage. He rushed towards Qin Chen like lightning and struck out a simple and direct palm blade at the latter. This made the surrounding inner sect disciples nod their heads secretly, ¡°Although Ye Feng is only in the Sancai realm, he has already cultivated this black-grade movement supernormal knowledge, Gale Steps, to the intermediate stage. It¡¯s not bad. Even a normal Sancai realm disciple would find it hard to dodge the attack, let alone this old handyman.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Since Ye Feng used Gale Steps right from the start, he clearly wants to gain the upper hand and defeat this old handyman, making him¡­ F*ck!¡± Just as the inner sect disciples were evaluating Ye Feng, at the next moment, their eyes opened wide as they exclaimed in disbelief. As Ye Feng appeared in front of Qin Chen as fast as the wind, his palm blade slashed toward the latter¡¯s chest, being fast, accurate, and ruthless. It could be said that he had fully displayed his strength. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Qin Chen dodged Ye Feng¡¯s attack by simply shifting his body to the side. How was that possible? This was the question that appeared in the minds of all the inner sect disciples and even the few inner sect elders. Ye Feng was shocked and incredulous. However, only a calm voice resounded in his ears: ¡°It¡¯s just black-level supernormal knowledge, and you¡¯ve only cultivated it to the intermediate stage. Your movement technique is lacking. It looks fast, accurate, and fierce, but it¡¯s actually erratic. Without the will of the gale, it¡¯s full of flaws. This can¡¯t do.¡± As soon as the voice finished speaking, a terrifying force sent him flying. It was Qin Chen¡¯s palm blade. Ye Feng was like a kite with a broken string as his entire body crashed into a cliff. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Chapter 131 - Instant Defeat Qin Chen looked at the other inner sect disciples who could not believe what had just happened. He said coldly, ¡°This guy is too weak. Next one, please. However, I still advise all of you to come at me together. This way, it might not be so embarrassing if you fall.¡± ¡°Old man, I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯re really that powerful!¡± Another inner sect disciple of the Sancai realm rushed up. The result was the same. He was quickly sent flying by Qin Chen. He didn¡¯t even know how he was hit before he vomited blood and fainted. At this time, the group of inner sect disciples slightly restrained their contempt for Qin Chen. An inner sect disciple of the Sixiang realm shouted, ¡°Brothers, be careful. Although this old handyman only reached the Sancai realm after a hundred years, he has also cultivated arduously during this period and thus reach the peak of his realm in many aspects. So, don¡¯t underestimate him.¡± Qin Chen rolled his eyes. He really wanted to say that he had never cultivated hard. He had simply relied on the system. Of course, he definitely wouldn¡¯t tell anyone about this, so he only said, ¡°I¡¯ll still say the same thing. Come at me together. Otherwise, you¡¯ll lose even more disgracefully if you are defeated one by one.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± Another inner sect disciple of the Sancai realm rushed up. This time, he was much more cautious, but unfortunately, it was useless. He was defeated by Qin Chen in seconds. Later on, a few more inner sect disciples of the Sancai realm rushed up to challenge him. There were a few at the peak of the Sancai realm, but in the end, without exception, they were all defeated in one move. At this time, these inner sect disciples truly realized that although this old man who had been sweeping the floor for a hundred years seemed to only be in the Sancai realm, he was a little freakishly strong. ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± A disciple of the Sixiang realm stepped forward with a gloomy expression. Many disciples of the Sancai realm had already been defeated by this old handyman. There was no other way now. Those in the Sixiang realm had to come forward. Although it would be an unfair victory, since this old handyman had humiliated all the inner sect disciples today, they could only teach him a lesson. Whoosh! It was still the Gale Steps, but it was much faster than Ye Feng¡¯s. After all, the disciple was in the Sixiang realm, and his strength was even more terrifying. He did not even use any other supernormal knowledge. He just threw out a punch, and the fist force swept out a terrifying wind, blasting toward Qin Chen. Everyone was adamant that although Qin Chen could defeat all the Sancai realm inner sect disciples, he couldn¡¯t possibly defeat the Sixiang realm disciples. After all, his realm was there for everyone to see. ¡°Too weak!¡± Qin Chen said coldly as he flicked his sleeves impatiently. Boom! The Sixiang realm disciple had come quickly and left even faster. Like a cannonball, he crashed into a stone wall that was as smooth as a mirror. He was then embedded in the stone wall and cracks spread out like a spider web, causing many inner sect disciples to be dumbfounded. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°This old handyman defeated a Sixiang realm inner sect disciple in a second with one move?¡± ¡°Did you see that the old handyman only used one move? And it was a very impatient one.¡± ¡°By the name of the Elder King, is this even real?¡± ¡­ Even the few inner sect elders¡¯ eyes widened in shock. If Qin Chen, this old handyman, could defeat all the Sancai realm disciples, perhaps they could explain it with the excuse that he had a hundred years to polish all his skills and supernormal knowledge. However, that was a f*cking Sixiang realm inner sect disciple. He was more than twice as strong as a disciple of the Sancai realm, and the difference in strength was terrifying. A hundred years ago, before the Elder King had appeared, such a disciple would¡¯ve been qualified to become an elder. Yet now, such a Sixiang realm inner sect disciple had been sent flying without even touching Qin Chen. Was this the old handyman they had mocked before? Even if he was only in the Sancai realm after a hundred years of cultivation, he could no longer be described as trash since he had this kind of terrifying battle consciousness. In comparison, they were more like trash. At this moment, many of the inner sect disciples¡¯ faces flushed as they were embarrassed by their earlier wrong words. At this time, they no longer looked at Qin Chen with the contempt they had at the beginning. On the contrary, they looked at him with a bit more respect. However, respect was respect, but those who dared to speak ill of them still had to be punished. Soon, another disciple of the Sixiang realm came forward and cupped his fists at Qin Chen, ¡°Xia Yang of the inner sect.¡± Qin Chen raised his eyebrows. He could see that these inner sect disciples¡¯ attitudes had changed and they were starting to respect him. However, he still said coldly, ¡°Come on.¡± Xia Yang didn¡¯t think much about Qin Chen¡¯s cold attitude and didn¡¯t rush forward immediately either. This made the other inner sect disciples secretly nod their heads because those inner sect disciples who had taken the initiative to attack had all been defeated instantaneously. Therefore, they all thought that Qin Chen was a defensive cultivator who did sudden attacks. As such, they planned to deal with all changes by staying still. They would let Qin Chen take the initiative to attack so that they could find his flaws. Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and sighed, ¡°To be honest, you will lose no matter what you do!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared. Before Xia Yang could react, Qin Chen had already appeared in front of him, his palm on his chest. Boom! A terrifying force hit Xia Yang in the face, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell into the pool. Defeat! All the inner sect disciples gasped. This was because they realized that regardless of whether the disciples took the initiative to attack or defend, they had all failed. It could only be said that this old handyman was too terrifying. Was he really just in the Sancai realm? All of a sudden, none of the inner sect disciples dared to step forward. The various defeats of the inner sect disciples before this were still vivid in their minds. It made them very cautious, and even a little afraid. Qin Chen glanced at the remaining inner sect disciples and said, ¡°I said, all of you come at me together. I¡¯ll give you all one more chance. Come at me together, or else don¡¯t blame me for taking the initiative.¡± Hearing this, the inner sect disciples, who were disdainful of bullying the weak with numbers, looked at each other and finally nodded with heavy expressions. They decided to attack together. Otherwise, in a one-on-one battle, unless there were a few Wuxing Masters, no one was confident of being Qin Chen¡¯s opponent. As for the inner sect disciples of the Wuxing realm, they were all candidates for Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. With their pride, they couldn¡¯t be bothered to attack an old handyman of the Sancai realm, even if the latter was really heaven-defying. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± The group of inner sect disciples said to Qin Chen. Although they had no other choice, they still felt a little humiliated. ¡°Come on!¡± Qin Chen spoke. Instantly, the inner sect disciples rushed toward Qin Chen and surrounded him from all directions. Then, Qin Chen took a step forward. Boom! An invisible, majestic, and terrifying wave of air instantly exploded with him as the center. All the inner sect disciples who had rushed over were instantly hit by the airwave. It was as if mountains had crashed into them, and they were sent flying back at an even faster speed. One by one, they spat out blood and fell far away. Chapter 132 - He Is the Elder King The scene completely stunned the few inner sect elders. They widened their eyes in shock! In the blink of an eye, all the inner sect disciples had been defeated. It was only one move. Qin Chen did not even get close to them. Instead, he relied on the rolling airwaves produced by his step to block the attacks of all the remaining inner sect disciples and even sent them flying. This was not something a cultivator in the Sancai realm could do. Even someone in the late stage of the Sixiang realm or a normal Wuxing Master might not be able to do such a thing. Without a doubt, it could only mean that Qin Chen, an abandoned royal and a hundred-year-old handyman, had been hiding his strength all along. His Sancai realm was only a pretense. ¡°The 17th Prince who had been abandoned back then has hidden quite deeply. To think he¡¯s cultivated to such a realm without any of us even realizing it. It¡¯s said that no matter how heaven-defying he is, he can¡¯t instantly defeat those Sixiang realm genius disciples if he¡¯s only in the Sancai realm. Now it seems that he¡¯s not just in the Sancai realm, but probably at the peak of the Sixiang realm or even the Wuxing realm.¡± ¡°Those in the Wuxing realm can already be called a Master. He can be an inner sect elder that¡¯s on the same footing as us.¡± ¡°The old handyman has really hidden well.¡± The few inner sect elders were all amazed. In the distance, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter candidates, who didn¡¯t make a move because they thought that it was lowly to bully others with numbers, all looked serious. This old handyman was not simple at all. Even if they were to deal with the other inner sect disciples, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do it as easily as he did. It could even be said that this old handyman was still calm as ever. It was obvious that he hadn¡¯t used all his strength yet. However, to the relief of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter candidates, the other party was already over a hundred years old. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to compete with them for the right to be a candidate for the Holy Son or Holy Daughter position. With one move, he had sent all the inner sect disciples flying. Looking at the blood-vomiting inner sect disciples all over the ground, Qin Chen said coldly, ¡°I said you were a bunch of trash before. Was I wrong?¡± Once again, they were called trash by the old handyman. However, this time, all the inner sect disciples were so ashamed that their faces were flushed and they could not refute him. Because the other party was right, they were a bunch of trash! If they weren¡¯t good-for-nothings, how could they have been defeated by this old handyman in the blink of an eye? Just a little bit of Qin Chen¡¯s strength had already shocked these inner sect disciples. If they knew that what they had just seen was just the tip of the iceberg, God knows how shocked they would be. After all, except for Lord Dragon, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land could imagine that the real identity of this old handyman, who had swept the place for hundreds of years and was ridiculed by countless elders and disciples, was the Elder King who stood at the top of the Taiyi Holy Land and had wiped out several powerful ancient races in succession. The status between his two identities was huge. Of course, Qin Chen would not take the initiative to tell them. For him, it was better to continue living in hiding. These things were just some trivial matters in life, so they were naturally not worth his attention. Qin Chen only showed a little of his strength to better intimidate these proud inner sect disciples. After all, he had been selected by Ling Ran to be an inner sect disciple. He was no longer a handyman. If he did this, he would not have to face too much trouble when he needed to go to various places in the inner sect to cultivate. If this still didn¡¯t work, he could only think of other more shocking methods. He couldn¡¯t always waste time on these trivial matters. Qin Chen turned around and left. He couldn¡¯t be bothered by the brewing rumor that the old handyman was a hidden expert due to his thunderous attacks. ¡°Hey, did you know that the handymen¡¯s yard has been hiding a top expert all this time?¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Qin Chen, an old handyman who has been sweeping the ground for a hundred years.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re saying that the old handyman Qin Chen is a peerless expert? How is that possible? If he is a peerless expert, he would not have been expelled from the Great Qin Dynasty back then.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. You don¡¯t know this, but that old handyman defeated all the inner sect disciples by the Flying Celestial Waterfall. All the inner sect disciples from the Sancai realm to the peak of the Sixiang realm were defeated in seconds. He even took care of the remaining inner sect disciples in one move.¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? He¡¯s just an old handyman. At most, he¡¯s only in the Sancai realm. If he was really that powerful, he would have become an inner sect disciple long ago.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s true. All the candidates for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter positions were there that day too.¡± ¡°Let me tell you, some of the candidates have been defeated too. Qin Chen defeated them with one palm.¡± ¡°The Holy Son and Holy Daughter candidates were defeated? They are Wuxing Masters!¡± ¡°Tsk, I¡¯ll tell you. I know the truth. Qin Chen is actually in the Qiyao realm, but he¡¯s been hiding it.¡± ¡­ ¡°Hey, I¡¯ll tell you a secret. Qin Chen, the old handyman, is actually the last disciple of the former Holy Lord. Even the Holy Lord has to call him senior brother!¡± ¡­ ¡°Shocking news! Qin Chen was the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s super genius, but he was framed by the imperial clan and demoted to the Tai Yi Holy Land as a handyman. However, he¡¯s still very powerful and is already a Bahuang Venerable!¡± ¡­ ¡°Shocking news! Qin Chen is actually the Elder King¡¯s last disciple. He¡¯s been a Bahuang Venerabel for many years!¡± ¡­ The rumors were fine at the beginning, but as time went on, they deviated from the root of the matter, while at the same time, they leaned toward the truth. Qin Chen was indeed a super genius, and he was related to the Elder King. That was because he was the Elder King. Because he had made an intimidating move, when Qin Chen appeared as an inner sect disciple again, the other inner sect disciples no longer dared to mock him. On the contrary, many looked at him with respect, even with some reverence. Even the candidates for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter positions were polite. They didn¡¯t have the arrogance that they usually had when facing other disciples. When he heard the various rumors, Qin Chen was a little stunned. It turned out that he had unknowingly become Lu Xuan¡¯s last disciple, Ling Ran¡¯s eldest senior brother, a super genius from the Great Qin Dynasty, the last disciple of the Elder King, and so on. However, why did no one say that he was the Elder King? It was probably because the Elder King had supreme status in the Taiyi Holy Land. He was even more transcendent than the Holy Lord, Ling Ran, and was worshipped by everyone in the Holy Land. After all, the Elder King was not only a powerful Sage King but also the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Minister. He was also a great existence that had exterminated three ancient races that were ranked among the top 300 of the ten thousand ancient races. Not long ago, he had even killed an ancient race¡¯s Sage King, Sage King Ming Ye. His status was extremely high. No matter how outrageous the rumors were, the old handyman Qin Chen would not be able to replace the Elder King. In truth, he was the Elder King! Chapter 133 - The Systems First Mission [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in. You have received a Divine Spirit Source as a reward.] Routine check-in. The divinity in the great Emperor¡¯s palace was indeed strong. Qin Chen had checked in here hundreds of times but still had not completely exhausted its divinity. Even when he checked in now, he could get a Divine Spirit Source worth millions of spirit stones. Of course, Divine Spirit Sources were no longer useful to him, but it was better than nothing. ¡°I¡¯ve checked in for so many years, but I¡¯ve only managed once to increase a few small realms in one go at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain. Can¡¯t such a thing happen a second time?¡± Qin Chen sighed. He yearned to just check in and level up to the Supreme Sage realm straight away. At that time, he would be able to look down on the entire Canglan Continent and dominate the ten thousand ancient races as the Chaotic Supreme Sage. Unfortunately, that was too difficult. The further one cultivated, the slower one¡¯s progress became. Even someone as talented as him had to go into secluded cultivation for hundreds of years before he could reach the Sage King realm. Even so, if news of his cultivation speed were to spread, it would shock the world. There were only a handful of people who could become Sage Kings after cultivating for less than two hundred years. It was said that many ancient emperors had spent at least two to three hundred years reaching the Sage King realm. Qin Chen continued to cultivate various Emperor-level supernormal knowledge in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Over the years, he had been cultivating Emperor and quasi-Emperor levels supernormal knowledge such as the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, Eight Desolation Strikes, and many others. Especially in the hundred years back then when time accelerated, he had already cultivated much Emperor-level supernormal knowledge to the master stage. Roar! Roar! Roar! ¡­ Just as Qin Chen was cultivating the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, an Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, the 108 rays of Qin Shihuang¡¯s dragon qi all materialized. They were like lifelike ancient true dragons that roamed around him, emitting world-shocking dragon qi. The Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon in the ultimate stage! If the imperial clan of the Great Qin Dynasty saw this, they would be shocked. For tens of thousands of years, no one from the imperial clan had managed to cultivate an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge to the ultimate stage. Even in the primordial age, only the imperial clans¡¯ Supreme Sages could improve their supernormal knowledge to the ultimate realm. Even this usually took them a long time of tens of thousands of years. But now, Qin Chen had reached this stage while just a Sage King and he had only cultivated for less than two hundred years. Just as the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon reached the ultimate stage, there was a loud boom. One of the 33 steles in the imperial hall, which was 10000 feet tall, suddenly released a majestic imperial light. The ancient and mysterious runes on the stele seemed to have come to life. Roar! With a majestic and domineering dragon¡¯s roar, the stele standing in the center shook violently, and an imposing figure appeared. The figure wore a heavenly crown and was dressed in a black dragon robe. Around him were 108 Immemorial Dragons. He looked down on the heavens and stood proudly throughout the ages. Qin Chen looked at the Emperor¡¯s figure in shock. Who else could it be but Qin Shihuang, the Emperor of the ages? He sat in a carriage pulled by four Pegasi with horns. They were clearly the legendary dragon horses, existences that were not weaker than the Immemorial Dragons. Qin Shihuang sat on the four-dragon horse chariot, holding a battle sword in his hand, and soared into the sky. Countless soldiers of the dynasty followed him. Qin Chen was shocked as he watched the army led by Qin Shihuang charge out from the formation in the great emperor¡¯s palace. The huge formation had constructed an incomparably vast heavenly gate that pierced through time and space, leading to an indescribably vast great world. In that world, Qin Chen could vaguely see countless cultivators in the air. All of them were Sages, and some were even more terrifying than the three types of Jiutian Sages. Qin Shihuang led an endless army and charged out of this world towards that mysterious great world. Following this, all of a sudden, all the scenes disappeared. In the great Emperor¡¯s palace, only one voice slowly resounded, as if sighing, ¡°One can see the end of the road¡­¡± The long sigh seemed to pass through time. The end of the road? Qin Chen was shocked. What did Qin Shihuang¡¯s sigh mean? [Ding!] [Congratulations, host. By cultivating Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon to the ultimate stage, you have activated the Emperor mark on the Emperor of the Ages¡¯ Qin Shihuang¡¯s stele. You have triggered a side mission.] [Side mission: Cultivate to the Shifang divine realm within a hundred years and head to the World Beyond Heavens.] [If you complete the mission, you will receive the remaining clues of the Desolate Pagoda.] [There are no punishments for mission failure.] [Do you accept the mission?] In his mind, the system¡¯s usual cold prompt sounded. Cultivate to the Shifang divine realm and head to the World Beyond Heavens? The Shifang divine realm was the realm after the three Jiutian Sages¡¯ realm. He naturally understood that. But what kind of place was the World Beyond Heavens? At the very least, Qin Chen had read through the books collection in the Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty, but he had never learned about a place called the World Beyond Heavens. Could it be the vast great world that Qin Shihuang led his army to attack? Or was it the whereabouts of the ancient and modern 33 Emperors who left behind the 33 steles? He did not know. However, it was the first time Qin Chen had received a system mission after so many years. If he succeeded, he would be rewarded with the remaining clues about the Desolate Pagoda. If he failed, there would be no punishment either, so he naturally accepted it. [Congratulations, you have successfully accepted the side mission.] The system¡¯s notification appeared again. Shaking his head, Qin Chen left the great Emperor¡¯s palace. ¡­ Ever since he had successfully refined the Sage King supreme-grade bow and arrows, then killed Sage King Ming Ye of the ancient race, Qin Chen¡¯s status as a refining master had spread far and wide. For a time, his fame soared! Although his killing of Sage King Ming Ye had caused a huge commotion, his status as a refining master had also moved countless forces. Regardless of whether it was a refiner or an alchemist, such professionals had always been extremely respected since ancient times. This was especially so since refining masters who could create Sage King supreme-grade weapons were very alluring to the ancient races, who were supposed to treat the human race as an enemy. This was because they knew very well how powerful a refining master was. Even during the primordial age, when all the ten thousand ancient races ruled, even if a refining master was born among the lowly human race, he would be respected by all the powerful races. Even the most powerful ancient clans, such as the ancient imperial clans, would treat such a person as a distinguished guest. Let alone a refining master in the current world. In the past few days, many influential figures from various forces had come to visit the Taiyi Holy Land one after another, wanting to see Qin Chen. Their goal was simple. Firstly, they wanted to be on good terms with the Elder King. Secondly, they wanted to ask the Elder King to refine some extraordinary weapons for them. After all, a good weapon was a great buff for cultivators. Supreme-grade weapons had even more shocking effects. Of course, with Qin Chen¡¯s current status, they could not meet him as and when they wanted to. They were usually only able to meet Ling Ran and Lu Xuan. Most of the time, it was even the grand elders and other disciples who greeted them. When the big shots of the top forces saw that Ling Ran had become a Bahuang Venerable, they were also shocked and marveled at how formidable the future generation was. At the same time, they also expressed their intention to pay a visit to the Elder King. However, Ling Ran always took the initiative to remove Qin Chen from all the trouble. Although these important figures were well aware of the excuses, they were not displeased at all. After all, the Elder King had a very significant status/ Not only was he a refining master, but he was also the human race¡¯s Sage King who had exterminated many powerful ancient races. Who would dare to offend him? When Ling Ran once again sent away all the important people who came to visit, she sighed. Just then, Qin Chen appeared. He looked at her and chuckled, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you tired?¡± Chapter 134 - Its Finally Here Ling Ran had always been cold and aloof. She would usually only smile when she faced the Elder King. She shook her head gently and said, ¡°I¡¯m not very tired. I¡¯m just not very good at dealing with these things.¡± Qin Chen naturally understood that although Ling Ran was the Holy Lord, her appearance had brought new hope to the Taiyi Holy Land. As someone with a natural King Body like the Zixia Body, and having obtained the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra left by the Zixia Empress, her future achievements were limitless. She should have been concentrating on her cultivation, but now, she was being weighed down by these mortal affairs, which affected the progress of her cultivation. Lu Xuan arrived and frowned slightly. He then sighed and said, ¡°How many times have I advised you? Although you are the Holy Lord, you can¡¯t do everything by yourself. You should appoint a vice Holy Lord who can help you manage the Holy Land¡¯s many trivial matters.¡± Qin Chen also nodded and said, ¡°Ling Ran, you¡¯re quite talented in cultivation. You can¡¯t be buried by the trifle matters. A cultivation genius like you should focus on cultivation. As long as your cultivation is strong enough, many things can be easily solved.¡± Ling Ran¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Just like you, Elder King?¡± From the moment the Elder King appeared, he suppressed everyone with his absolute cultivation and removed the demonized Zhao Yi. He even killed the demonic venerable Yang Tiancheng, intimidated all the immortal heritages, killed Sage Demon Kings, and destroyed powerful ancient races¡­ Didn¡¯t he rely on his strong cultivation base to accomplish all this? Not long ago, the Elder King had created a Sage King supreme-grade weapon and killed an ancient Sage King of the ancient race, but he was still fine. The Elder King¡¯s words should be based on this logic. Qin Chen was not embarrassed as he said naturally, ¡°That¡¯s right. As long as you¡¯re strong enough, you don¡¯t need to fear anything. Even if the ten thousand ancient races dare to offend you, you can just kill them all.¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Lu Xuan pretended to clear his throat, ¡°Elder King, aren¡¯t you leading Ling Ran astray?¡± If these words were to spread to the outside world, they would definitely enrage the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Chen glared at Lu Xuan, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m wrong?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, indeed,¡± Lu Xuan quickly said, ¡°The Elder King¡¯s cultivation is unparalleled in the world. You do have the right to do so.¡± ¡°Good thing you still have some sense in you. What about the ten thousand ancient races? When I reach the Supreme Sage realm, I can defeat them all with one move,¡± Qin Chen was unafraid as he spoke frankly Ling Ran¡¯s eyes lit up. This was the Elder King who feared nothing and destroyed three ancient races while also suppressing the ancient Sage of the roc imperial clan. Then, Qin Chen glanced at Lu Xuan and said, ¡°Lu Xuan, you¡¯re not young anymore. You¡¯re the previous Holy Lord and Ling Ran¡¯s master, after all. Now, Ling Ran has become a Bahuang Venerable before you, while you¡¯re still in the Qiyao realm. Don¡¯t you feel ashamed? ¡± Seeing that the attention was shifting to him, Lu Xuan immediately felt sorry for provoking the Elder King who shouldn¡¯t be trifled with. He could only say helplessly, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯m not as talented in cultivation as Ling Ran. It¡¯s already good enough that I¡¯m able to cultivate to the peak of the Qiyao realm.¡± ¡°No wonder you can¡¯t revive the Taiyi Holy Land,¡± The Elder King looked down on Lu Xuan without holding back. He then looked at Ling Ran and said, ¡°Ling Ran, you can¡¯t be as useless as your master. Otherwise, the Taiyi Holy Land will never be able to revive completely. From now on, you¡¯ll follow me and cultivate.¡± Qin Chen naturally valued Ling Ran¡¯s talent in cultivation. After all, he couldn¡¯t stay in the Taiyi Holy Land forever. When he had gone through the Sage King¡¯s heavenly tribulation, he could tell that the Emperor Star was very big, and the Canglan Continent was only a corner of it. Furthermore, he also had a side mission from the system, which was to advance to the Shifang divine realm in a hundred years and head to the mysterious World Beyond Heavens. He couldn¡¯t stay in the Taiyi Holy Land for his whole life. When his cultivation was strong enough, he wouldn¡¯t continue to live in seclusion. As such, he needed to nurture a loyal and strong enough follower to help him guard the Taiyi Holy Land. Although Lord Dragon was very loyal, he was still from the dragon race and was not a very suitable candidate. Therefore, Ling Ran should be the most suitable candidate. Ling Ran was both surprised and delighted. It was definitely the best if she could cultivate by the Elder King¡¯s side. Moreover, she felt an inexplicable rush of excitement. A long time ago, she had vaguely guessed that the person who had given her the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and healed her heavenly tribulation injuries was the Elder King. However, since the Elder King did not say it, she would not expose it. Lu Xuan was very envious, but he was not jealous, because Ling Ran was his disciple whom he had nurtured up to this day. There was more of a father-daughter relationship between them, so he was very pleased. He said, ¡°Since the Elder King is willing to take you to cultivate by your side, Ling Ran, you should focus on your cultivation. You¡¯ll need to choose a vice Holy Lord to help you handle worldly affairs. If you don¡¯t have a good candidate, in my opinion, Lu Feng¡¯s not bad. He¡¯s also in the Qiyao realm and is young. Although his talent isn¡¯t as good as yours, his future is limitless.¡± Lu Feng was the chosen Holy Son after Zhao Yi was killed by Qin Chen. He was quite talented. In the old Taiyi Holy Land, such a figure was destined to shine. But now, with Ling Ran before him, he had already paled in comparison. Of course, after cultivating for many years and being nurtured by the Taiyi Holy Land, he had also become a Qiyao King, which was not bad. Upon hearing this, Ling Ran nodded and said, ¡°Lu Feng¡¯s talent and intelligence are not bad, and he has a heart of justice.¡± Soon, Ling Ran announced that Lu Feng had become the Vice Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land. The people of the Holy Land didn¡¯t have many objections to this. Although Lu Feng kept a low profile, his cultivation level was there. Moreover, he had never offended anyone. He wasn¡¯t like the previous Holy Son, Zhao Yi, who went to extreme lengths just to become the Holy Lord. In the end, Lu Feng naturally became the Vice Holy Lord, and he officially began to handle all kinds of cumbersome affairs in the Holy Land on behalf of Ling Ran. Naturally, Qin Chen observed for a while and found that Lu Feng¡¯s temperament was not bad, unlike Zhao Yi¡¯s extreme attitude. Thus, he also helped Lu Feng to refine his weapon, making it reach the supreme grade. This made Lu Feng extremely flattered and surprised as he thanked the Elder King profusely. On the Sages¡¯ peak, Ling Ran was cultivating beside Qin Chen. Naturally, because of this, Qin Chen surrounded himself with a clear light and never revealed his true appearance. He guided Ling Ran¡¯s cultivation like a teacher. With his cultivation at the Sage King realm, he was instructing the latter from a very high and strategic position. Often, with just a few words, he could enlighten Ling Ran, the newly-promoted Venerable, allowing her to solve all the problems on the road of cultivation one by one without any difficulty. At the same time, Qin Chen would also teach Ling Ran some top-tier supernormal knowledge. Naturally, Emperor-level supernormal knowledge like the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger, and Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon were too fierce and domineering. They were not suitable for a lady like Ling Ran. Hence, the supernormal knowledge he imparted to her were relatively gentler. In the past 100 years, he had naturally obtained several such supernormal knowledge from checking in. They might not be Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, but they were at least Sage-grade supernormal knowledge. Similarly, he also taught Ling Ran the Resurrection Technique and the Moving Secret Technique. Besides, Qin Chen would occasionally refine some precious medicinal pills and let Ling Ran take them for free. These medicinal pills could either help her build her foundation or increase her cultivation realm. It could be said that, in a certain sense, Qin Chen was treating Ling Ran as his personal disciple and taught her as such. However, he did not take Ling Ran in as his disciple. Under Qin Chen¡¯s guidance and the crazy support of various resources, Ling Ran¡¯s cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. In the next six months, she advanced two small realms and reached level three of the Bahuang realm. Her cultivation speed was so fast that even Lord Dragon, an old Venerable, was envious. He immediately ran over, hoping that Qin Chen could reward him with a few pills. However, Qin Chen ruthlessly chased him out, which made Lord Dragon curse him for being heartless. On this day, as usual, Qin Chen continued to guide Ling Ran¡¯s cultivation on the Sages¡¯ peak. Boom! All of a sudden, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth started to shake. At the far end of the western horizon, a majestic pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky. It was like a giant pillar that held up the sky as it stood between the heavens and the earth. Endless Laws of Heaven and Earth were drawn in, and spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave. On the Sages¡¯ peak, Qin Chen raised his head and looked at the horizon. Under the chaotic light, his handsome face revealed a rare hint of seriousness, ¡°It¡¯s finally here, huh!¡± Chapter 135 - The Complete Return of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races At the end of the western horizon, a pillar of light stood upright. Laws surged, and spiritual energy turned into tides, shocking all directions. The entire Southern Desolate Lands was shaken. Many immortal holy lands, ancient families, and other immortal heritages that stood in this vast land were all shocked. They all looked toward the end of the west. It was the Western Heaven. It was a similar great path movement. After the roc imperial clan, another ancient imperial clan appeared. Indistinctly, one could see the apparition of a mighty ape emerging from the pillar of light. It held a staff in its hand, and its figure was as tall as the sky as if it could hold up the vast heaven. ¡°We welcome the birth of the battle sage ape race!¡± Many ancient races on the Canglan Continent bowed toward Western Heaven. The battle sage ape race was one of the far ancient imperial clans, not the slightest bit inferior to the roc imperial clan. Ancient Sages with extraordinary auras emerged from the roc imperial clan. They looked at the pillar of light and did not bow. However, no one felt that such an action was inappropriate because they were all from the ancient imperial clans. The pillar of light stayed for half a day before it slowly dissipated. However, an incomparably majestic mountain appeared in that place. It was tens of thousands of feet tall and shockingly huge. Spiritual energy surrounded the huge mountain, laws filled the air, and waterfalls poured. It was as if the nine Heavens had descended, making it look like a paradise. A few tall and mighty apes with golden fur and focused eyes looked at the ancient race members who had come to welcome them and nodded, then turned to the roc imperial clan. One of the Sage Kings of the roc imperial clan cupped his fists and said, ¡°Everyone from the battle sage ape race, congratulations on your revival.¡± A battle sage ape with pure golden hair also cupped his fists and said, ¡°We¡¯ve made everyone from the roc imperial clan wait for a long time.¡± The whole world was shaken. The battle sage ape race had emerged. It was another ancient imperial clan. What effects would such an occurrence bring to the human race? However, even after appearing for many days, the battle sage ape race wasn¡¯t as domineering as the roc imperial clan back then. It was as if they had only caused a huge commotion for half a day before they quietened down. An ancient Sage of the human race, who had been in a deep slumber since the primordial age, had said that although the battle sage ape race was an ancient imperial clan, they had never targeted the human race during the primordial age, perhaps because they had similar physical forms to the human race. Even the ten thousand ancient races didn¡¯t dare to target the human race too much during the era when the battle sage ape¡¯s ancient Emperor was still alive. Many people heaved a sigh of relief. So the human race did have a good relationship with at least one ancient race in the primordial era. However, in the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen, who was on the Sages¡¯ peak, did not relax his frown. With his special perception of heaven and earth, he could clearly feel that there was still a terrible vibration that was continuing. Boom! Heaven and earth shook. The entire Canglan Continent trembled again. Strange phenomena appeared one after another, and another pillar of light appeared, and it wasn¡¯t just one. One after another, thick pillars of light shot up into the sky. In the Southern Desolate Lands, Central Province, Northern Castle, and East Sea, extremely terrifying spiritual energy activities bloomed one after another in the short span of a few days. The birth of the ancient imperial clans! Furthermore, it was not just one ancient imperial clan. A total of seven ancient imperial clans had appeared in succession in just a few days. At the same time, affected by the appearance of the seven great ancient imperial clans, more than a thousand other ancient races appeared in an extremely short period, causing an unprecedented storm. The world was shocked! The ten thousand ancient races had all returned! In the past, just the appearance of the roc imperial clan had already caused an incomparably terrifying impact. Now, after the battle sage ape race, another seven ancient imperial clans and thousands of ancient races had appeared. It was as if the entire world had returned to the primordial era, not giving the human race any time to recover. Originally, the most ideal way for everything to happen for the human race was for the ten thousand ancient races to appear one by one. Even if the appearances would also cause a huge impact on the human race, they would still have time to gradually calm down and stand against the ten thousand ancient races while still maintaining their prime position. But now, almost all of the remaining ancient races had appeared. There was no buffer time. The humans would be the first to bear the brunt of the impact. The pressure on the human race could be said to be unprecedented. At the Sages¡¯ peak, even Qin Chen¡¯s expression was grave at this moment. The early appearance of the ten thousand ancient races had an unprecedented impact on the entire human world. On this day, the territories of the nine ancient imperial clans, including the roc imperial clan and the battle sage ape race, all had majestic light pillars soaring into the sky, affecting the entire Canglan Continent. ¡°Today, the ten thousand ancient races have all returned. The human race must submit!¡± A high-spirited and cold voice resounded throughout the world, ordering the human race to submit. Clearly, it was an enemy of the human race. Following this, a majestic sword energy soared into the sky from the Taiyi Holy Land and tore the sky apart with a crack. With a scream, blood dyed the sky red. Qin Chen¡¯s cold voice rang out, ¡°The nine great ancient imperial clans have yet to speak. You are just an ancient Sage from a small race, so what right do you have to speak? I will kill you today to punish you for not showing respect to the nine great ancient imperial clans.¡± The world suddenly fell silent. No one had expected that when the nine ancient imperial clans had revived, this human Elder King would still dare to attack and kill an ancient Sage of the ancient race. However, this human Elder King had always been domineering. Back then, he even dared to suppress Ancient Sage Peng Wei of the roc imperial clan. For him to kill an ordinary ancient Sage of the ancient race was not that surprising. However, it also attracted the attention of the world and the nine great ancient imperial clans. Many human powerhouses were excited. As expected of the Elder King. He was truly domineering and even dared to attack at this time. He wanted to show the ancient races that they were no longer in the primordial era. The human race was now strong and not something they could bully. After killing an ancient Sage, Qin Chen spoke again, ¡°From now on, whoever dares to target the human race, no matter which ancient race it is, I will definitely annihilate them!¡± The overbearing voice came from the Taiyi Holy Land. Many of the ancient races, who had been hoping that the nine great ancient imperial clans would suppress the current human race, didn¡¯t dare to speak. After all, the human race Elder King was a man of no restraint. He had even destroyed three of the hundred great ancient races and killed an ancient race¡¯s Sage King, yet he was still alive. It was said that he had the support of a human Supreme Sage. He couldn¡¯t be easily provoked. However, there were also members of the ancient imperial clan who could not stand Qin Chen¡¯s attitude. A cold voice came from the Southern Desolate Lands and the North Region, ¡°When all the other races were in deep sleep, the human race has ruled the world for many years. It has been enough. Now that we¡¯ve returned and are in control of the world again, it¡¯s time for the human race to keep their temper in check, especially that human Sage King. To think you dare to attack in front of the nine great ancient imperial clans? You¡¯re way too bold.¡± Qin Chen was not afraid at all. He soared into the sky, and a majestic chaotic Sagely might surged and filled the sky. He pointed the Desolate Divine Halberd at the ancient imperial clan and said, ¡°If people don¡¯t offend me, I won¡¯t offend them. Whoever dares to offend me, I will kill them, even if they are from the ancient imperial clan!¡± ¡°Good, good, what a good human Sage King. You¡¯re really bold!¡± The voice from the ancient imperial clan of the Southern Desolate Lands had a cold expression, but after that, they went silent. Qin Chen sneered, ¡°I¡¯m indeed bold, but if you¡¯re unhappy, why not come over?¡± He returned to the Sages¡¯ peak and continued to guide Ling Ran in his cultivation. A few days later, the experts from the netherworld race suddenly arrived at the Taiyi Holy Land, including two Sage Kings and 13 ancient Sages. They descended above the Taiyi Holy Land with a terrifying aura and their cold voice resounded in the sky, ¡°Human Elder King, come out and accept your feat immediately!¡± Chapter 136 - The Holy King Takes Action The netherworld race Sages arrived in the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land. They descended upon Taiyi Holy Land with great might. Everyone in the Holy Land was immediately alarmed. Many elders and disciples immediately appeared, their expressions changing. ¡°Not good. The netherworld race is here.¡± ¡°Oh my¡­ A total of 13 ancient Sages and two Sage Kings!¡± ¡°This¡­ So this is where the foundation of the netherworld race, one of the top 30 races in the primordial era, lies?¡± ¡°Hmph, so what if there are 13 ancient Sages? So what if they have two Sage Kings? The Elder King is no ordinary Sage King, and he has the Supreme Sage and imperial clans behind him. Why should we fear them?¡± The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land held the Elder King in high regard. Even though the netherworld race had sent their best combat forces, two Sage Kings and 13 ancient Sages, they still believed that the Elder King could protect the Taiyi Holy Land. The netherworld race¡¯s sudden arrival at the Taiyi Holy Land and their declaration that they would behead the human race Elder King had undoubtedly attracted many of the ten thousand ancient races. This was especially so after they knew that the netherworld race¡¯s arrival was most likely due to the ancient imperial clans¡¯ secret support. Otherwise, why didn¡¯t the netherworld race come when Sage King Ming Ye died? After hearing the words of the people from the Taiyi Holy Land, the ancient races¡¯ powerhouses all sneered, ¡°The ignorant are truly fearless. So what if he has a Supreme Sage backing him? How can our ten thousand ancient races not have Supreme Sages? Furthermore, your human race has imperial clans, but don¡¯t the ten thousand ancient races have ancient imperial clans as well? Now, nine great ancient imperial families have been revived, so it is only natural for the human race to be exterminated.¡± With the two Sage Kings of the netherworld race present, the remaining members of the space race and the whale race, who had been annihilated by the Elder King earlier, also came forward. They turned to the thirteen ancient Sages of the netherworld race and pleaded, ¡°Ancient Sages of the netherworld race, the human race¡¯s Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land is extremely brutal. He killed all of our people and seized our foundations and reserves. I beseech the ancient Sages of the netherworld race to seek justice for us. Our two races will be grateful for your kindness and sing praises of the netherworld race for all eternity.¡± Hearing this, an ancient Sage from the netherworld race said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if we¡¯re no longer in the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races aren¡¯t pushovers. I¡¯ll definitely have the Elder King give you an explanation.¡± ¡°Thank you, ancient Sages of the netherworld race!¡± ¡°With the ancient Sages of the netherworld race present, the human race¡¯s Elder King will definitely die here today to prove the might of the ancient races.¡± ¡°Hmph, how can a mere human race Elder King be compared to the ancient Sages of the netherworld race? today will be the day of his death. The thousands of fallen souls of the whale race will finally rest in peace.¡± One of the only remaining Kings of the whale race even shouted at the Taiyi Holy Land with the netherworld race behind him, ¡°Human Elder King, come out and accept your death. Do you want the ancient Sages of the netherworld race to flatten the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± The people from the Taiyi Holy Land panicked at the sight of the aggressive netherworld race. They were puzzled. Why hadn¡¯t the Elder King made a move yet? ¡°Netherworld race! You can¡¯t lay a hand on this place!¡± Lord Dragon appeared and shouted coldly at the thirteen ancient Sages of the netherworld race. ¡°A dragon?¡± The netherworld race¡¯s ancient Sages frowned. The dragon race was one of the most powerful races. However, a cold smile quickly appeared on his face, ¡°Dragon race junior, you can¡¯t protect them just yet. Your dragon race¡¯s seniors have yet to be born. I think you¡¯d better know your place!¡± Lord Dragon¡¯s expression was dark, but the other party¡¯s words made sense. Even if the dragon race was the top faction in the primordial era, the netherworld race was still one of the top 30 races of the ten thousand ancient races. A mere Bahuang realm dragon like him naturally couldn¡¯t deter them. ¡°Human Elder King, we don¡¯t have much patience. Come out and die!¡± A netherworld race ancient Sage bellowed as his Sagely might blotted out the sky. With a wave of his hand, a massive hand that covered a radius of a hundred thousand feet descended from the sky. The hand was wrapped in a mind-boggling black mist as it came crashing down toward the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°To think the ancient Sage from the netherworld race dares to attack. Isn¡¯t he afraid that the Holy Land¡¯s Elder King will kill him?¡± ¡°This¡­ So this is the might of an ancient Sage? It¡¯s so terrifying!¡± ¡°Where is the Elder King?¡± Many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land panicked at the sight of such a terrifying attack. Under the powerful pressure, many of them didn¡¯t even have the courage to run away. Lu Xuan¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, ¡°Quickly activate the sect¡¯s protective array!¡± The group of elders from the Taiyi Holy Land moved frenziedly, trying to activate the Sage King-level sect-protecting formation of the Taiyi Holy Land. However, under the Sagely might, they could not exert any combat power at all. They could not even activate the sect-protecting formation and could only roar unyieldingly. 1 When Ling Ran saw this, her entire body flickered with Zixia divine light. She used all kinds of peerless supernormal knowledge on the big hand that was falling from the sky. However, the gap between their cultivation realms was too big, and she was seriously injured by the backlash instead. Her pretty face turned pale, and she coughed up a large amount of blood. ¡°So this is the power of an ancient Sage?¡± Ling Ran gritted her teeth and immediately took out a jade token. Without any hesitation, she crushed the jade token. In the great Emperor¡¯s palace, Qin Chen was cultivating the various Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge next to the 33 thousand-foot steles. Every time he cultivated an Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he would be able to see some images of the ancient great emperors. These great emperors seemed to be heading toward a certain place. Qin Chen was getting increasingly curious as to where these ancient emperors were headed such that they needed to form such great formations. One must know that the power of ancient emperors was so great that they could crush the sun, moon, and stars with a single stretch of their hands. Even if they were to face any enemies, only a finger point would suffice. There was no need for their true bodies to head over. At this moment, a divine sense entered his mind. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned solemn and he snorted coldly, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that these ancient race bastards would actually dare to come!¡± After saying that, he disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already outside the great emperor¡¯s palace. Looking at the huge hand that was slowly descending from the sky, Qin Chen snorted in disdain, ¡°To think a mere Sage dares to act so recklessly in front of the Taiyi Holy Land. What a joke!¡± Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger! A monstrous Sagely might suddenly burst forth. In the void, a terrifying giant finger that was hundreds of thousands of feet long rose from the ground and collided with the giant hand in the sky. The moment they came into contact, the giant hand shattered completely, scattering Sage patterns all over the sky. It wasn¡¯t over yet. The giant finger continued to rush toward the netherworld race¡¯s ancient Sages in the sky. The terrifying power caused their expressions to change drastically. Bead-sized sweat popped up on their foreheads. Qin Chen¡¯s Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger had already reached the master stage. With his Sage King cultivation, this finger alone was enough to kill all the ancient Sages of the netherworld race, except for Sage Kings. ¡°Human Elder King, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± With a shout, the entire sky was shrouded in black mist. A giant hand that was more than ten times more terrifying than the previous one appeared and fell straight down, colliding with Qin Chen¡¯s finger. ¡°Bang!¡± There was an explosion, and the Sage patterns scattered in the sky. The space was cracked open, revealing a void bound by the chains of the great path. The giant hand and the giant finger were destroyed at the same time, creating a circle of ripples that could kill a Bahuang Venerable. One of the netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings had made his move! Chapter 137 - Suppressing the Two Sage Kings ¡°Heavens! This must be the end of the world! A Sage King¡¯s anger can cause a million miles of corpses!¡± ¡°Sage King of the netherworld race, save us! We don¡¯t want to die yet!¡± ¡°Elder King, save me!¡± ¡­ Facing such a terrifying shockwave, all the cultivators below the Sage realm, be it the human race or the ten thousand ancient races, knelt and begged for help. Naturally, Qin Chen would not allow human cultivators to be affected. With a wave of his hand, Sagely might descended from the sky, breaking through the void and absorbing the aftermath. The netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings also helped the ten thousand ancient races resolve the shockwaves. ¡°Human race Elder King, you¡¯ve attacked ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races so many times. Do you really think that we are pushovers? If you break both your arms today as an apology, the netherworld race can let you off and let bygones be bygones!¡± The netherworld race¡¯s Sage King looked down from above, squinting at the human Elder King who was surrounded by light. Even with his cultivation, he couldn¡¯t see Qin Chen¡¯s true form. This made him apprehensive, which was why he changed his mind and said that he didn¡¯t want Qin Chen¡¯s life but only his hands. ¡°The netherworld race is too arrogant! You want the Elder King to break his own hands? Do you really think that the human race is a pushover too?¡± ¡°Hmph, so what if you¡¯re an ancient Sage? So what if you¡¯re Sage Kings? How many have the Elder King killed? Yet you¡¯re still so arrogant, you¡¯re really courting death!¡± ¡°To think the ten thousand ancient races dare to make such a ruckus. Elder King, don¡¯t show any mercy. Just kill them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Elder King, just kill him. The human race has so many imperial clans. Even if we start a war, what do we have to fear?¡± ¡°Hmph, do they still think we¡¯re in the primordial era? The human race has long risen. As long as a single great Emperor is alive, the mere ten thousand ancient races would¡¯ve been annihilated with a flip of the hand. Even without the great Emperors, the holy lands and the imperial clans are still not something you can stop. Elder King, kill this braggart!¡± Many of the human cultivators shouted, hoping that Qin Chen would kill the netherworld race Sage King who had spoken. After all, the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King was simply too arrogant and had completely incited the fury of the human race! One had to know that they were no longer in the primordial era. The human race wouldn¡¯t bow to the ten thousand ancient races. Seeing the human¡¯s overwhelming battle intent, Qin Chen, who had been suppressing his anger for a long time, revealed a trace of killing intent. He shouted, ¡°I will not go against everyone¡¯s wishes. Today, I¡¯ll definitely kill you to vent my hatred.¡± After saying that, he flew into the starry sky and shouted, ¡°Sage King of the netherworld race, come and accept your death!¡± ¡°How arrogant! Why would I be afraid of you?!¡± The netherworld race¡¯s Sage King had his pride as well. He naturally couldn¡¯t stand being provoked by Qin Chen like this. Without any hesitation, he tore through the sky and started fighting with the latter in the starry sky. Both of them were Sage Kings, the most powerful existences in the Canglan Continent. They fought in the starry sky and destroyed countless stars, but there was still no clear winner. ¡°To think a mere human Elder King dares to fight with me? I¡¯ll show you my move!¡± A shout came from the depths of the starry sky. It was clearly noon, but the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land turned black. The netherworld race¡¯s Sage King had used a great supernormal knowledge to suppress the Sun¡¯s radiance. The paths buzzed and the void shattered. It was truly terrifying. ¡°The Sage King of the netherworld race has used such a terrifying supernormal knowledge. Can the human Elder King block it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to fear about a mere supernormal knowledge? The Elder King knows quite a few Emperor-level ones.¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s a netherworld race¡¯s Sage King? I believe that the Elder King can kill him.¡± Even though the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King had displayed such a terrifying and unparalleled supernormal knowledge, the humans still believed in the Elder King. After all, the battle prowess that the Elder King had displayed over the years was unrivaled. ¡°This is only a Supreme Sage supernormal knowledge at the master stage. How dare you show off in front of me? Watch how I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The Elder King¡¯s voice came from the sky. Immediately after, many Immemorial Dragons roared in the starry sky. In terms of might, they were much stronger than the netherworld race¡¯s peerless supernormal knowledge, shocking the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°An Emperor-level supernormal knowledge in the ultimate stage! How is that possible?¡± The netherworld race¡¯s Sage King let out a cry of shock. Immediately after, the black clouds in the sky disappeared, replaced by a bloody sky. It was a terrifying sight. ¡°Bang!¡± An arm fell from the starry sky at an extreme speed, crushing a mountain not far from the Taiyi Holy Land. A blood mist was stirred up in the ruins. The terrifying Sagely might and mighty blood energy made the surrounding demons avoid the place. ¡°This is the arm of a Sage King? Was it the human Elder King? Or was it Sage King Kong You from the netherworld race?¡± ¡°There¡¯s Sagely might around the arm, so we can¡¯t see whose it is, but it¡¯s undoubtedly a Sage King¡¯s arm.¡± ¡°Hmph! It must be the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King¡¯s arm. The human race¡¯s Elder King¡¯s battle prowess is unrivaled. How could one of his arms be cut off?¡± ¡°How arrogant! Sage King Kong You is a supreme ancient being with monstrous battle-power, so this arm definitely belongs to the human Elder King.¡± ¡°Open your eyes wide and take a good look. This must be the broken arm of the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too arrogant. When the human race¡¯s Elder King is killed, the human race will also be exterminated!¡± ¡°Tsk, putting aside the fact that our human race¡¯s Elder King is invincible and won¡¯t be defeated, even if your ten thousand ancient races want to start a war, when has the human race ever been afraid?¡± ¡­ The human race cultivators and the ten thousand ancient races were quarreling and all eager to fight. Each of them had their arguments, and it seemed like they were about to fight. ¡°Ancestor, whose arm is this?¡± A netherworld race ancient Sage walked up to the other Sage King and asked with slight uncertainty. Sage King You Jue¡¯s eyes were cold. He didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he tore through the void and charged toward the sky. ¡°Another piece of trash! Hahaha, so what if you two join forces? Today, I¡¯ll go on a killing spree and kill both of the netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings!¡± Qin Chen shouted in the starry sky. Although the other Sage King of the netherworld race had now joined the battle too, he was now a Sage King in level 6. That¡¯s right, he was in level 6 of the Sage King realm. Having gone into secluded cultivation in the great emperor¡¯s palace, where time passed by at an accelerated rate, Qin Chen¡¯s talent did not just make him advance to the Sage King realm from level 7 of the Sage realm in a hundred years. Instead, he advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching level 6. Therefore, a Chaotic Sage King like Qin Chen already had the peerless combat strength of a level 9 Sage King. He could even fight a Supreme Sage. The two netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings weren¡¯t even at level 5, so they could only be beaten. The Sagely might shattered a dozen small stars and cut off the other arm of the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King. ¡°Bastard, to think you hurt my second brother. I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Sage King You Jue roared and unleashed his Sagely might. He actually used an ancient Emperor-level supernormal knowledge at the master stage. For a moment, the sky changed color. The netherworld race¡¯s supernormal knowledge clashed with Qin Chen¡¯s Heaven Shaking Hand. Neither could do anything to the other. The stars shattered and the great path buzzed. Ancient emperor supernormal knowledge was comparable to peerless supernormal knowledge created by the primordial emperors among ancient great emperors. Normally, only primordial imperial clans would possess them. The fact that Sage King You Jue was able to execute such a powerful ancient emperor supernormal knowledge surprised Qin Chen. ¡°So this is all the Sage Kings of the ancient race can do. Today, I¡¯ll kill you two and send you to the netherworld where you¡¯ll reunite with Sage King Ming Ye!¡± Qin Chen shouted, and the golden light of the great path flashed around him. He waved his hand, and the great path of the heavens trembled as he unleashed the master stage Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. It was also an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge in the master stage, but it was much more powerful in Qin Chen¡¯s hands than in the hands of Sage King You Jue. Sage King You Jue¡¯s ancient emperor supernormal knowledge was immediately dispersed. The two Sage Kings from the netherworld race were beaten to the point of coughing out large mouthfuls of blood. Half of their bodies exploded, dyeing the starry sky red. Chapter 138 - The Primordial Supreme Sage Takes Action In the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land, blood rain poured down, containing the power of a Sage King. Seeing this, the human cultivators all took out their treasures and used supernormal knowledge to collect the blood rain. One had to know that the blood rain contained the blood energy of a Sage King. If it was used to wash one¡¯s marrow, refine pills, and refine weapons, it would have unexpected results. It was a true treasure. The ancient Sages from the netherworld race had ugly expressions on their faces. They did not expect the two Sage Kings from their race to be defeated so miserably. Looking at the humans collecting the blood rain, they were even more furious. However, due to the unrivaled combat power of the human race¡¯s Elder King, they could only swallow their anger. ¡°Human Elder King, since you¡¯ve injured us so badly, the Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan will not let you off! When the time comes, the entire human race will be buried with you!¡± Sage King You Jue howled into the sky. His eyes were filled with rage. From the primordial era until now, he had been extremely awe-inspiring. As the Sage King of one of the hundred strongest races in the primordial era, he had always been worshipped by everyone. He could stand on equal footing with the Sage Kings of the ancient imperial clans. This was the first time he had been so humiliated that half of his body had been crippled. Clang! Qin Chen brandished a Sage King sword and sneered, ¡°You can take your time to say those words after you die!¡± With that, he unleashed a supernormal knowledge and shocking sword intent rose as the sword light dazzled the starry sky. Emperor-level supernormal knowledge, Sky-slashing Sword! The Sky-slashing Sword was something Qin Chen had obtained when he checked in at the great emperor¡¯s palace. It was created by the legendary Sword Emperor Tian Xian, who had proven his path with the sword. It was truly a killing supernormal knowledge. Qin Chen unleased unparalleled combat power as he waved the Sage King sword, slashing out a peerless wave of sword energy that was tens of thousands of feet long like a long river. Countless meteorites were shattered wherever the sword energy passed. If this attack landed, the two netherworld race Sage Kings would most likely die. ¡°Human, you¡¯ve crossed the line!¡± An ancient voice suddenly came from the western land. A huge black hand reached out from the void. The hand was covered in peerless Sage patterns. Wherever it passed, the void shattered, and it brought desolation. ¡°Whose hand is this? Could it be the hand of the primordial Emperor?¡± ¡°That¡¯s preposterous! The primordial Emperor has long since passed away. How could it be the hand of the primordial Emperor? it should be the hand of a Supreme Sage from the ancient imperial clans!¡± ¡°Even a Supreme Sages of the ancient imperial clans has made a move? Can the Elder King block it? Where is the human Supreme Sage?¡± ¡°The power of a Supreme Sage is invincible. Even if the Elder King has invincible combat power, I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t stop it.¡± The humans looked worriedly into the void. They were shocked by the terrifying means of the Supreme Sage and worried that Elder King would die. In contrast, the ancient Sages of the netherworld race laughed out loud and provoked the humans, ¡°Hahaha, a Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan has already made his move. Even if the human Supreme Sage is around, the Elder King of the human race will die without a doubt.¡± ¡°Hmph, the Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan has already made his move. How can a mere human weakling compete with him?¡± ¡°Today, the Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan has made his move. He will first kill the human Elder King, then exterminate the human race. From now on, there will be no more human race in the world!¡± Hearing the words of the netherworld race¡¯s ancient Sages, the humans were infuriated. The few great dynasties and imperial clans were all furious. As the descendants of great emperors, how could they watch the human race suffer such humiliation? In the Southern Desolate Lands, the Duanmu family was adjacent to the Taiyi Holy Land. At this moment, a handsome young man in his early twenties walked out of the divine palace there. He took out a great treasure bottle and soared into the sky. Boom! The treasure bottle was divine, and as soon as it appeared, it buzzed and the sounds resounded throughout the nine Heavens and ten lands. ¡°Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Duanmu family will lend you our emperor weapon. It can defend against the Supreme Sages of the ancient races. I hope you can kill the two Sage Kings of the netherworld race!¡± The young man shouted and pushed the great treasure bottle into the starry sky. As soon as the treasure bottle appeared, it was instantly restored, and traces of its Emperor¡¯s might that had been suppressed for decades flowed out and swept over. Instantly, the black hand of the ancient imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage was stopped. ¡°An extreme ancient weapon!¡± ¡°The Duanmu family¡¯s Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle!¡± Exclamations were heard as no one expected an extreme emperor weapon to appear in the human race at this moment. Although the Duanmu family did not establish an immortal divine dynasty, it was an imperial family left behind by an ancient great emperor. It was no less powerful than the four immortal divine dynasties of the Central Province and was one of the most powerful immortal heritages in the Southern Desolate Lands. It was just that they had always kept a low profile. In the era when the ten thousand ancient races revived, a powerful ancient race had once appeared in the territory adjacent to the Duanmu family. The ancient race was not inferior to the netherworld race and once looked down on the human race¡¯s immortal heritages, even wanting to expel the Duanmu family. However, not long after the ancient Sage from the powerful ancient race descended upon the Duanmu family, he was defeated and did not dare to make any rash moves anymore. At this moment, this imperial family finally displayed their ultimate foundation. The Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan did not continue to attack. He seemed to fear the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle that was flowing with boundless chaotic lights and seemed to be able to split the world open. Only the ancient imperial clans knew how powerful the extreme ancient weapons left behind by ancient great emperors were. ¡°Good!¡± Qin Chen shouted as his aura surged. He used the Moving Secret Technique and displayed the world¡¯s fastest speed. In a flash, he appeared behind the two netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings. With the Sage King sword in hand, he stabbed out twice. With that, Sage King You Jue and Sage King Kong You of the netherworld race could only widen their eyes in shock but were unable to say another word due to the bloody hole the size of an infant¡¯s fist in the center of their brows. Their souls had been destroyed. In the blink of an eye, the two Sage Kings of the netherworld race died and fell into outer space, leaving behind two radiant Sage King sources. However, at this moment, two souls fled with lightning speed. They were the souls of the two netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings. 1 No one had expected that the two Sage Kings were not completely dead. However, their divine souls were very faint and clearly very weak. They had only used some kind of secret technique to escape Qin Chen¡¯s fatal blow. To escape, they were willing to give up the Sage King sources and Sage King bodies that they had cultivated for thousands of years. ¡°You want to run? No way!¡± Qin Chen said coldly as he took out the Sage-slaying bow and arrow. He drew the bow and the Sage-slaying arrow emitted a dazzling golden light. With a whoosh, it shot toward the divine souls of the two netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings. ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, please save us!¡± The two Sage Kings from the netherworld race hurriedly called for help. ¡°Bastard! How dare you!¡± The Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan roared, and his voice reverberated throughout Western Heaven. A ball of light as bright as the sun rose from Western Heaven, emanating unparalleled power. It was the same as the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle such that it was also a legendary extreme ancient weapon. It had already been awakened and was now blocking the Heaven-devouring Emperor bottle¡¯s might. The Supreme Sage¡¯s pitch-black hand attacked again, aiming at Qin Chen¡¯s Sage-slaying arrow. It wanted to block the arrow from killing the two netherworld race Sage Kings. Qin Chen snorted coldly. He did not want to let the two Sage Kings of the netherworld race go. So what if the other party was a Supreme Sage? Even if a Supreme Sage came in person, he would still fight! Boom! Qin Chen roared and his Chaotic Holy Body suddenly bloomed with boundless light. The Chaotic Imperial Scripture was circulating, and it was as if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had descended. A terrifying and unparalleled chaotic Sagely might erupted, causing people¡¯s expressions to change. It was far beyond the power of ordinary Sage Kings. How could the human Elder King be so ridiculously strong? With such a cultivation base, he was probably almost on par with the Supreme Sages among the three types of Jiutian Sages. Qin Chen clenched his fist and used the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. Covered in chaotic Sage energy, his fist met the ancient imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage¡¯s giant black hand. ¡°A mere Sage King dares to fight with a Supreme Sage, you¡¯re really looking for death!¡± The Supreme Sage from the ancient imperial clan snorted in disdain. His huge black hand landed and collided with Qin Chen¡¯s fist. It was like a huge monster fighting against a child. Boom! The outer space instantly exploded, tearing open a space crack that was thousands of miles long. Just when everyone thought that the Elder King was going to die, the giant black hand was shattered and turned into Sage patterns that filled the sky. The Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan in Western Heaven couldn¡¯t help but gasp in puzzlement and shock. Qin Chen¡¯s figure stood in the starry sky. His body was surrounded by chaotic light as he was completely unharmed, which shocked the world. ¡°How is this possible? The Elder King of the human race has actually blocked a Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan?! That¡¯s a Supreme Sage! Just how powerful is the human Elder King?¡± ¡°My God, is this human race¡¯s Elder King the son of an ancient great emperor? Who in the ten thousand ancient races can match such battle-power?¡± ¡°Even a Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clans has made a move, but he still can¡¯t kill the human Elder King. Is the human Elder King invincible? ¡± ¡°To think the human race can produce such an expert in the Dharma-ending age. Is the human race¡¯s luck that good? ¡± The ten thousand ancient races were all stunned by the battle-power of the human race Elder King. One had to know that even in the entire ten thousand ancient races, there were not many Sage Kings who could stand shoulder to shoulder with this human race Elder King. In the starry sky, after Qin Chen shattered the ancient imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage¡¯s attack, the Sage-slaying arrow finally caught up to the divine souls of the two Sage Kings from the netherworld race. However, just as the Sage-slaying arrow was about to pierce through their souls, a black light appeared, shining with the might of an ancient emperor, and blocked the Sage-slaying arrow. ¡°An ancient imperial weapon? So what?¡± Qin Chen said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the treasure bottle in the starry sky flew into his hand. With the treasure bottle in his hand, Qin Chen immediately felt great pressure. The moment he circulated his Sagely might, he felt as if his body was about to be emptied. He did not expect that it would take so much energy to use an emperor weapon. No wonder the Duanmu family only lent him the weapon and did not use it directly. ¡°Human, how about we stop this when the result is still salvageable?¡± The Supreme Sage of the ancient imperial clan said. He did not want to fight with Qin Chen anymore. After all, the clash between an emperor weapon and an ancient imperial weapon was no joke. If they were to unleash their full power, they could destroy the nine Heavens and ten lands. ¡°You want a truce? It¡¯s too late. I must kill these two today!¡± Qin Chen did not show any mercy. He immediately injected his power into the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle with all his might and recovered a small part of its energy. An even more terrifying emperor might flowed out and struck, shattering the stars in the sky. The two Sage Kings from the netherworld race shrieked. Even with the protection of the ancient imperial weapon, they could not escape the fate of being killed. Chapter 139 - The Supreme Sage Retreats Even with the help of the ancient imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage, the two Sage Kings of the netherworld race were still unable to escape the calamity and were killed by Qin Chen. The world was shocked! At this point, the human race Elder King had already killed three Sage Kings from the ancient race. They were all Sage Kings from the netherworld race, and one of them was Sage King You Jue. ¡°Human, the roc imperial clan will remember this. We will definitely make you pay for this in the future,¡± The roc imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage snorted coldly and did not continue to fight with Qin Chen. After all, Qin Chen had an emperor weapon to protect him. Even if he was a Supreme Sage, he could not kill the other party any time soon. If a human Supreme Sage were to help the other party, he would be at a disadvantage. ¡°To think the Supreme Sage who attacked is actually from the roc imperial clan!¡± Someone from the human race exclaimed with a worried expression. In the primordial age, the ancient great emperor of the roc imperial clan had soared and controlled the world¡¯s fastest speed. His imperial might intimidated the entire primordial age. Even among all the primordial imperial clans, he was one of the most powerful existences. Now that the human Elder King and the roc imperial clan were enemies, it would not be easy for the former in the future. Qin Chen kept the bottle, his face turning a paler shade. He wasn¡¯t injured, but the consumption of using the emperor weapon was too great. He was almost squeezed dry. Fortunately, the Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan had retreated. If the battle continued, he might have had to give up some things even if he was confident of retreating. After returning to the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen looked at the blood-red sky. Although a lot of it had been absorbed, there was still a lot of blood energy left. He took out a Jade bottle and circulated his supernormal knowledge, storing all of the blood energy in the sky. He didn¡¯t let go of the Sage Kings¡¯ severed hands in the distance either, putting them in a storage bag. After all, anything related to Sage Kings was a rare ingredient for making Sage King-level pills and weapons. Qin Chen would naturally not waste any of them. After he did all this, the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land became bright again. Except for some traces of battle, everything was back to normal. Qin Chen kept the jade bottle and storage bag before looking at the netherworld race¡¯s ancient Sages coldly, ¡°Do you still want to fight?¡± Although it was only six words, it carried a strong threat. The voice traveled thousands of miles and could be heard even in the Northern Castle, Western Heaven, East Land, and Central Province. These words were also meant for the other ancient race members to hear. The thirteen ancient Sages from the netherworld race were extremely pale and filled with despair. After this battle, the netherworld race lost two more Sage Kings. Including Sage King Ming Ye, who had been killed back then, they had lost three great Sage Kings. This was already a serious injury to the race, and their vitality had been completely damaged. One had to know that even in the primordial era, Sage Kings were the top fighting force of every race. Now that the netherworld race had lost three Sage Kings upon their reappearance in this era, their overall strength would probably fall beyond the top 70 of the top 100 ancient races even though they still had 13 ancient Sages. The cause of all this was the human Elder King. Yet, even the Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan with an extreme ancient weapon couldn¡¯t hurt the human Elder King, so how could they, as mere Sages, have the confidence to fight him? Looking at the angry yet silent faces of the netherworld race ancient Sages, the human race felt elated. They shouted at the ten thousand ancient races, ¡°The Elder King asks if you guys still want to fight?¡± ¡°Hmph! Weren¡¯t you the rulers of the Canglan Continent who want to exterminate the human race? Do you still dare to fight?¡± ¡°So what if you¡¯re from the ten thousand ancient races? The Elder King is invincible. He could even annihilate the ancient imperial clans, so what if a Supreme Sage shows up? If the Elder King isn¡¯t afraid, then the human race isn¡¯t.¡± ¡°Can you fight? Do you still dare to fight?¡± ¡­ Let alone the netherworld race, even the other ancient races were sullen. After being ridiculed by the human race, they finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Someone said, ¡°Human Elder King, don¡¯t be so arrogant. The ten thousand ancient races have already revived the nine imperial clans. Your actions will only bring disaster to the human race.¡± ¡°Elder King of the human race, the ten thousand ancient races have the son of an ancient great emperor who has yet to be awakened. Once he¡¯s unsealed, no matter how strong you are, you¡¯ll still bleed and die under his blade.¡± Hearing the secret of how a son of an ancient emperor had been sealed up to this day, the humans were all shocked. After all, the son of an ancient emperor was an existence comparable to the son of a great emperor. Such a person would have unrivaled combat strength since birth and had the potential to become an Emperor. On the other hand, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed, and a terrifying Sagely might that was comparable to a peak Sage King¡¯s burst forth. The few ancient race experts who had spoken all spat out a mouthful of blood, and their faces turned pale. He barked at the ancient race experts, ¡°I don¡¯t care if a son of an ancient emperor comes or if you¡¯re from the ancient imperial clans. As long as you offend the human race, I¡¯ll kill you no matter how far you are!¡± With that, Qin Chen waved his palm again, sending every one of the ancient race members out of the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s territory. The ancient race experts were furious, but they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They all pulled long faces, swallowed their anger, and left. ¡°Hmph, what a bunch of trash. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I¡¯m afraid of triggering the stiff relationship between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races, I would¡¯ve slapped those netherworld race remaining members to death,¡± Qin Chen stared at the back of the 13 ancient Sages from the netherworld race with some regret. The thirteen ancient Sages from the netherworld race also heard his words. Their hair stood on end and they left at an even faster speed. Qin Chen landed beside Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and the others. He looked at their pale faces and asked, ¡°Are you guys okay?¡± ¡°Elder King, we¡¯re fine. Your battle today has raised the prestige of the human race and vented our anger,¡± Lu Xuan laughed out loud. He was so excited that the injuries on his body were affected and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Ever since the nine great ancient imperial clans had appeared, the human race had been provoked by the ten thousand ancient races many times. However, no one dared to voice their anger, and everyone had been suppressing their anger. Today, the Elder King had defeated an ancient imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage and killed two Sage Kings from the netherworld race. It was truly satisfying! Qin Chen took out a few blood spirit-recovering pills and distributed them to Lu Xuan, Ling Ran, and the grand elders. After they took it, their bodies began to glow and their injuries instantly improved. They only needed to recuperate for a few days before they would be fully recovered. After Ling Ran consumed the medicinal pill, the multicolored light in her body shone brightly, and the sound of the great path sounded. She was like a goddess. Two rays of golden light shot out from Qin Chen¡¯s and penetrated the Zixia divine light on Ling Ran¡¯s body. After a while, he sighed softly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that she would completely awaken the Zixia Body. Now, the Zixia Body is actually about to evolve into the Zixia Divine Body. Let me give you a hand.¡± After he finished speaking, Qin Chen took out a drop of the great path spring and injected it into Ling Ran¡¯s body. Ling Ran¡¯s body immediately shone with divine light. The injuries on her body recovered in an instant, and her aura rose steadily. With the timely help, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and she reached level 6 of the Bahuang realm. Many of the grand elders next to her were envious. After all, the higher one¡¯s cultivation level was, the more difficult it would be to improve. For those who were not talented enough, even if they cultivated every day, it would be difficult to break through a realm within a hundred years. It had only been a few years since Ling Ran broke through to the Bahuang realm, but she had already reached level 6. Even the monstrous geniuses from the four great dynasties would not be able to progress so quickly. Of course, the most terrifying person in the Tai Yi Holy Land was undoubtedly Qin Chen. He had reached the Sage King realm in just a hundred years of cultivation. Even the son of a great emperor could not compare to such a terrifying speed of improvement. Although the Zixia Body was a King body, it was still far inferior to the Zixia Divine Body, which was a Divine Body. After all, the legendary Zixia Divine Body was a body that could compete with the Extreme Yin Body and the Primitive Holy Body. It was far from something that a mere King Body could compare to. Ling Ran opened her eyes and retracted the Zixia divine light. She then kowtowed to Qin Chen and said, ¡°Many thanks to the Elder King for your help.¡± Although Ling Ran did not know what Qin Chen had injected into her body, she was sure that it must be some extraordinary treasure. Otherwise, her Zixia Body would not have evolved into the Zixia Divine Body so easily, and her cultivation would not have increased by three levels in one go. Chapter 140 - The Purpose of the Trip ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so polite!¡± Qin Chen smiled and raised his hand to help Ling Ran up. He was very happy for Ling Ran. Now that she had upgraded her physique to the Zixia divine body, her cultivation speed would definitely increase greatly in the future. With his guidance, he believed that it would not be long before Ling Ran would break through to the Sage realm. At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land would have a Sage guarding it. Even if he wasn¡¯t around, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about his sect being harassed by the ten thousand ancient races. Although the battle had ended with Qin Chen killing two Sage Kings from the netherworld race, the Taiyi Holy Land had also suffered significant losses. Apart from the great emperor¡¯s palace, most of the buildings in the Holy Land were damaged. Most of the disciples and grand elders were also injured. Therefore, on the second day, Ling Ran announced that all disciples should return to the sect, and they would close the gates to rest and recuperate. Qin Chen didn¡¯t stay idle either. He refined the blood energy of the Sage Kings into pills and gave them to Ling Ran, then began to refine the Sage King sources in seclusion. With these blood energy pills, many of the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s grand elders who were at the peak of the Liuhe realm took this opportunity to break through to become Qiyao Kings. In just three months, the strength of the Taiyi Holy Land skyrocketed. It now had more than a dozen Kings, which was comparable to the four immortal divine dynasties. On this day, Ling Ran announced that the Taiyi Holy Land would reopen its gates, and all the major human forces came to visit. There were the Holy Lords of Holy Lands, Imperial Princes of imperial dynasties, and grand elders of aristocratic families. They were all dictators of their regions. When they saw more than a dozen Kings of the Taiyi Holy Land gathered in the hall, they were all shocked as they thought to themselves, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land has risen.¡± At the same time, the Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan suddenly issued a statement. He reneged on the previous agreement of the East Land¡¯s All Races Gathering and wanted to hold a Myriad Races Gathering to renegotiate with the human race. Moreover, the Supreme Sage had requested that the human Elder King head to the roc imperial clan and apologize for his sins. Otherwise, he would bring the ancient imperial weapon to suppress the Taiyi Holy Land. Once the news was out, the world was shocked. The ten thousand ancient races were all excited. They had been nursing their grievances for a long time because of the human race¡¯s Elder King. Now that the roc imperial clan had stepped out to speak, they were all very happy. ¡°Hahaha! The roc imperial clan has already begun their reckoning. How much longer does the human Elder King have to live?¡± ¡°Hmph, the human race has provoked the ten thousand ancient races time and time again. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ve forgotten that they were just ants beneath the feet of the ten thousand ancient races in the primordial era.¡± ¡°The nine great imperial clans will all be present for the Myriad Race Gathering. At that time, the human race will be exterminated.¡± ¡°Now that the ten thousand ancient races have revived, it¡¯s time for the human race to leave center stage. The Canglan Continent will ultimately be ruled by the ten thousand ancient races.¡± The various races of the ten thousand ancient races all spoke out against the human race. All of them wanted to destroy the human race and restore the glory of the primordial era. However, since the human race had produced so many ancient great emperors, they naturally had pride. How could they allow the ten thousand ancient races to clamor? Among the human race, a Supreme Sage from an immortal divine dynasty replied, saying that the humans would naturally head to the Myriad Races Gathering. However, before the day of the Myriad Races Gathering arrived, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen of the roc imperial clan spoke again. His voice pierced the nine Heavens and was accompanied by the great path. All living beings on the Canglan Continent could hear him, ¡°Elder King of the human race, if you don¡¯t come to my race to admit your guilt in seven days, I will personally visit the Taiyi Holy Land!¡± On this day, the entire Taiyi Holy Land was not peaceful. Everyone was on tenterhooks. Some disciples who were afraid of death even chose to leave the sect and run for their lives. Ling Ran came out of her secluded cultivation that day and called all the grand elders of the Taiyi Holy Land over. ¡°Holy master, the one who made the statement this time is the roc imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage. No matter how invincible the Elder King is, he can¡¯t possibly be the opponent of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen!¡± ¡°Nonsense, so what if the opponent is a Supreme Sage? Are there no Supreme Sages in the human race? So what if the opponent is a member of the roc imperial clan? The Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty are allies.¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races have nine great ancient imperial clans, and each of them has a Supreme Sage. If they join forces, how can the human race stop them? In my opinion, it¡¯s better to disperse the disciples and disband the sect.¡± ¡°Bastard! The Taiyi Holy Land has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. How can we disband just because you said so? If you¡¯re afraid, you can run for your life yourself!¡± In the hall, all the grand elders argued endlessly. Some newly promoted grand elders advocated for the disbandment of the sect, and they argued with the older grand elders till everyone¡¯s faces were flushed. Lu Feng, who was the Vice Holy Lord, couldn¡¯t mediate the situation either because he was only in the Qiyao realm, the same as the grand elders. He couldn¡¯t convince the masses. When Ling Ran saw this, the expression on her beautiful face turned gloomy slightly. She did not expect that a grand elder would propose to dismiss the sect. This made her furious. Just as she was about to open her mouth to berate the other party, the Elder King suddenly appeared in the main hall. Qin Chen¡¯s body was surrounded by the great path, and he exuded waves of Sagely might as he sat in the hall, which made the few people who were quarreling shut up. The group of grand elders all kowtowed and said, ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± ¡°What¡¯s with all the noise?¡± Qin Chen said in a low voice. He was not angry, but his voice was authoritative. The new grand elder who had participated in the quarrel just now knelt on the ground and trembled. He did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the Elder King would blame him. ¡°Elder King, the roc imperial clan¡­¡± Ling Ran was just about to tell Qin Chen that Supreme Sage Peng Zhen wanted him to go and apologize for his offense. However, she was interrupted by Qin Chen with a wave of his hand. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were deep as he sat high in the main hall with a terrifying aura. He said in a deep voice, ¡°A mere roc imperial clan is enough to scare you all out of your wits, and you even propose to disband the sect? Who gave you the guts to do so?¡± A terrifying Sagely might filled the entire hall. The newly promoted grand elders who wanted to disband the sect all groaned and coughed out a mouthful of blood. They knelt on the ground with pale faces and didn¡¯t dare to say another word. ¡°Elder King, I will personally deal with these people. However, how should we deal with the matter of the roc imperial clan wanting you to head over and apologize?¡± Ling Ran asked. After all, this involved the ancient imperial clans and a Supreme Sage. It was only a given that the Elder King was the sole person who could make the decision. Qin Chen squinted and smiled, ¡°He wants me to go and apologize? Are they even worthy? Spread the word that I¡¯ll personally go to the roc imperial clan in five days.¡± ¡°Elder King, what do you intend to do?¡± Ling Ran was puzzled. She did not understand what Elder King¡¯s intention was. Was he really going to apologize? But this was not the Elder King¡¯s style! Could it be¡­ Ling Ran¡¯s pupils dilated, and she was shocked. She did not dare to think of that possibility. After all, that was the ancient imperial clan, which had Supreme Sages and ancient imperial weapons! If the Elder King were to do what she thought he was going to do, all the living beings in the Canglan Continent would be shocked! ¡°Just spread the word, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything else,¡± Qin Chen snorted. After saying that, he took a step in the air and disappeared, leaving only his Sagely might behind. It didn¡¯t take long for the Taiyi Holy Land to announce that Elder King would pay a visit to the roc Imperial clan in a few days. Once the news was out, the entire human race was shocked and all of them questioned his choice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the Elder King? Is he going to submit to the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°The opponent is an ancient imperial clan, after all. Even the invincible Elder King has surrendered.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. It must be a mistake. How could the Elder King yield?¡± ¡°Even the invincible Elder King has surrendered. The future of the human race is bleak!¡± Chapter 141 - : Suppressing the Far Ancient Royal Family by Himself The news that the Elder King was heading to the roc imperial clan caused a heated debate within the human race. Some were disappointed, some were worried, some did not believe it, and some were sad. Seeing this, the ten thousand ancient races were overjoyed, and all of them began to spread rumors. ¡°Hmph, so what if he has the combat power to fight anyone below the Supreme Sage realm? In front of the ancient imperial clan, he still has to obediently admit his sins. This is only natural for the human weaklings.¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King has exterminated several of our ten thousand ancient races. It¡¯s time to settle the score. He will die in five days!¡± ¡°Even if now is not the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races can still rule the world. A mere human weakling is only worthy of begging for mercy. If he dares to rebel, we will definitely kill him with vicious methods and annihilate his race.¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King has already pleaded guilty. In the Myriad Race Gathering that will be held soon, the human race should return to the five regions, and our ten thousand ancient races will once again be the masters of this world!¡± All the human forces were furious. Many human immortal heritages secretly sent messages to the Taiyi Holy Land, telling the Elder King not to fear the roc imperial clan. Once the roc imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage made a move, the human race would have Supreme Sages to deal with the other party too. They hoped that the Elder King would make a statement that he would not yield to the roc imperial clan. However, from the beginning to the end, Qin Chen did not step out to say a single word. He still insisted on going to the roc imperial clan, causing complaints from the human race to rise. Everyone accused the Elder King of being afraid of death. On the other hand, many human cultivators also believed that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land must have reasons for making such a decision. Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Both the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were watching the Taiyi Holy Land closely. They wanted to see if the Elder King would go to the roc imperial clan. When the teleportation light beam from the void divine altar rose from the Taiyi Holy Land, the human race cultivators were extremely disappointed while the ten thousand ancient races became arrogant. ¡°Hahaha! I didn¡¯t expect the Elder King to really surrender. I thought he was going to play some tricks, but it seems like I¡¯ve overestimated him.¡± ¡°No matter how strong he is, he is still just a human weakling. Before the might of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, he can only submit.¡± One of the whale Kings suddenly appeared and laughed, ¡°Hahahaha, the Elder King of the human race doesn¡¯t have long to live. The blood debt of my people will finally be paid!¡± The remaining members of the space race also appeared at this moment and shouted, ¡°The blood debt of the space race will finally be avenged today. The space race will forever remember the great kindness of the roc imperial clan!¡± Both parties cried tears of joy as if they had already seen the head of the human Elder King hanging on the wall of the roc imperial clan. The surrounding human powerhouses were all furious when they saw this. If not for the fact that the experts of the ten thousand ancient races were here, they would have probably killed the other parties long ago and wiped the space and whale race off the face of the earth. Beams of teleportation light lit up one after another. They only had one destination, which was the land of the roc imperial clan in Western Heaven. Everyone wanted to know what would happen to the Elder King. In the central region of Western Heaven was a vast land with millions of mountains, which occupied an area of a million miles. This was the territory of the roc imperial clan. The outer regions of the million mountains were all ordinary mountains, but the closer to the center, the higher the mountains were. In fact, in the area of ten thousand miles around the core, pitch-black mountains rose from the ground like giant pillars that held up the sky, easily reaching thousands of feet high. However, there were no mountains within a thousand miles of the core. There were only giant trees that were as tall as mountains. They were tens of thousands of feet tall and even larger than mountains. This place was called the Roc Forest. In the forest where the roc imperial clan resided. The spiritual energy in the Roc Forest was ten times denser than that of the outside world. It was simply an excellent place for cultivation. At this moment, many experts from the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were already waiting in front of the Roc Forest. They had been waiting here since early in the morning for the Elder King who was rushing over. A ray of light flickered from the horizon and Qin Chen¡¯s figure appeared in an instant. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he appeared outside the Roc Forest and shouted towards the depths of the forest, ¡°I¡¯m here!¡± It was only two words, but the Sagely might contained within them caused the entire Roc Forest to tremble. The spectating experts were all shocked, and the expressions of the ten thousand ancient races all sank. After three months, this human race Elder King seemed to have become even stronger. ¡°Crow!¡± A roc¡¯s cry rang out, shooting straight into the clouds of the nine Heavens, dispelling the clouds and the fog. A golden-winged roc with a wingspan of over 3000 meters descended from the nine Heavens. A violent gust of wind blew as a golden light flickered, and the roc transformed into a middle-aged man. He was a Venerable of the roc imperial clan, and he was standing within the golden light. As the golden light faded, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Qin Chen. He did not show any respect as he said coldly, ¡°Human Elder King, do you admit your crimes for massacring the whale race and the space race?¡± Everyone was shocked. To think the roc imperial clan had sent a Bahuang Venerable to question the human Elder King. Wasn¡¯t this an insult to the latter? ¡°Haha, so what if he¡¯s the human Elder King? As expected of the roc imperial clan, it¡¯s only natural for us to display the might of our ten thousand ancient races.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t he afraid of angering the human race¡¯s Elder King by humiliating him like this? He¡¯s not a kind person!¡± ¡°Being in the territory of the roc imperial clan, do you think the human Elder King would dare to act up? Even if he does, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen can just use his methods to suppress him.¡± At this moment, the King of the whale race also stood out and shouted, ¡°Human Elder King, you killed my people. Today is the day you die!¡± The remaining members of the space race did the same. They shouted coldly, ¡°Everyone from the roc imperial clan, the human race¡¯s Elder King is extremely brutal, please execute him on the spot!¡± The human¡¯s expression darkened upon hearing this. The human Elder King was a Sage King who was invincible under the Supreme Sage realm. It would be a great loss for the human race if he died here. ¡°Noisy!¡± Qin Chen spat out one word. With just a glance, the whale race¡¯s King and the remaining members of the space race exploded and died on the spot. They didn¡¯t even have the chance to scream. The might of a Sage King was so terrifying! ¡°Human Elder King, how dare you commit murder again? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being suppressed by our Supreme Sage?¡± The middle-aged man from the roc imperial clan shouted. ¡°Come here!¡± Laws followed as Qin Chen spat out the words. A huge hand wrapped in Sage patterns appeared in the air and grabbed the middle-aged man from the roc imperial clan as if it was grabbing a chick. ¡°What are you doing? Let me go!¡± The middle-aged man shouted in shock. His eyes were as big as copper bells due to shock. He couldn¡¯t believe that the human Elder King would dare to make a move on him. One had to know that the Roc Forest was right behind him. In the depths of the Roc Forest were the Supreme Sage and the ancient imperial weapon. How could the human Elder King dare to do this? ¡°Elder King of the human race, you are seeking death. The Supreme Sage of my race will not let you off,¡± The middle-aged man roared angrily. He struggled with all his might, but he couldn¡¯t break free from the large hand that was grabbing him. Crack! In the end, his neck was broken and he turned back into a ten-thousand-meter-long golden-winged roc and died on the spot! Chapter 142 - : Even the Supreme Sage is No Match For Him ¡°What? To think he killed a member of the roc imperial clan! And it¡¯s right in front of the roc imperial clan¡¯s doors!¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King isn¡¯t here to accept punishment. He¡¯s clearly here to cause trouble!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a mere Sage King, yet he dares to provoke the roc imperial clan. Just how dare he?!¡± ¡°I can already feel the Sagely might surging within the Roc Forest. The Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan must be enraged. The human Elder King is courting death. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t live long!¡± All of the ten thousand ancient races were extremely shocked. A terrifying Supreme Sage¡¯s might came from the depths of the Roc Forest, causing a golden light to burst forth from the forest. In the towering Roc Forest, many figures with terrifying auras quickly appeared. At first glance, all of them were top experts of the ancient imperial clan. They were at least Venerables and more than a dozen ancient Sages were present, one of them being Qin Chen¡¯s acquaintance, Ancient Sage Peng Wei. Among them, there were three Sage Kings who were awe-inspiring. They were even more majestic than the netherworld race¡¯s Sage Kings. However, the three Sage Kings and ancient Sages of the ancient imperial clan were all standing half a step behind a haggard elder, showing their respect. The old man looked haggard with sparse hair and a beard. He was like a dying man. However, his appearance gave everyone who was present an unparalleled sense of oppression. Many of the other ancient race Sage Kings felt the same. They felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and they found it hard to breathe. Sage King Riyue of the Great Qin Dynasty was among the human ancient Sages present. His expression changed drastically, ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s Supreme Sage Peng Zhen!¡± ¡°Greetings, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen!¡± The experts of the ancient race did not dare to delay and immediately bowed to the roc imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage. The human powerhouses watched from a distance and were all worried for the Elder King. After all, this was a Supreme Sage expert, an expert second only to a God. Even if the Elder King was an invincible Sage King, he couldn¡¯t possibly be a match for the other party. Sage King Riyue sent a transmission, ¡°Minister, this is Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, an ancient Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan. In the past, he had even received the personal guidance of the Roc Emperor.¡± Even though the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was a Supreme Sage from the primordial era, there were many legends about him. After all, Supreme Sages had always been attention-drawing throughout the ages. Furthermore, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was born in an ancient imperial clan, the roc imperial clan. He also received the personal guidance of a primordial emperor. In the current world, he was definitely an unparalleled figure who looked down on the five regions of the Canglan Continent. The moment the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen appeared, he noticed Qin Chen. He squinted. Although he was a dying man, a tiger would not lose its might even if it was dead. His eyes seemed to contain the passage of time and seemed to be able to see through everything. He tried to see through the human Elder King¡¯s true identity, but that layer of chaotic light was very special. Even someone as strong as him, an ancient Supreme Sage, could not penetrate it. The other party was indeed no ordinary Sage King. Still, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen did not think not much of it at all. As long as one did not become a Supreme Sage, one would not be able to enter the eyes of a Supreme Sage like him. ¡°Human Elder King, you have massacred many ancient Sages of the ancient race and suppressed the ancient Sages of my roc imperial clan. Today, you even dare to kill my people. Do you really think that there are no experts in my roc imperial clan?¡± The moment the Peng Xuan Supreme Sage opened his mouth, he wanted to declare Qin Chen guilty. At the same time, a terrifying Supreme Sage might burst out of his withered body, making everyone present tremble and feel immense pressure. Some of the weaker cultivators below the Sage realm trembled and couldn¡¯t even stand. Qin Chen¡¯s body was surging with chaotic light. In the past three months, he had refined two Sage King sources. Although it didn¡¯t make him advance by leaps and bounds, he had still improved. Now, he was a Sage King in level 7 and could be called a super Sage King. With his Chaotic Holy Body, which was the world¡¯s number one physique, his combat strength was comparable to that of a half-step Supreme Sage. At this moment, an extremely powerful aura surged out from his body and easily blocked the pressure from Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. ¡°I¡¯m here today to suppress the roc imperial clan,¡± Qin Chen said in a deep voice, ¡°If you can¡¯t stand it, let¡¯s fight!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the area within a hundred miles fell silent. Everyone looked at Qin Chen in disbelief, unable to believe the arrogant words they had just heard. ¡°To think the human race¡¯s Elder King claims that he wants to suppress the roc imperial clan! He¡¯s simply courting death!¡± ¡°How arrogant! How extremely arrogant! Why hasn¡¯t the Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan made his move yet?¡± ¡°Damn it, to think the human Elder King looks down on the ancient imperial clans so much. Why hasn¡¯t Supreme Sage Peng Zhen killed this maniac yet?¡± ¡°B*stard! The human race¡¯s Elder King is too arrogant. Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, please help us to display the might of the ten thousand ancient races!¡± The experts of the ancient races were all furious. The ancient imperial clans were the most respected and most powerful races among the ten thousand ancient races. How could they tolerate such an arrogant provocation from the human Elder King? As such, all of them begged the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen to kill the other party. No matter how well-mannered the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was, he never had a good impression of the human race. Coupled with all the happenings before this, his expression was naturally sullen as he said coldly, ¡°Very well! Elder King of the human race, I will definitely kill you today to prove the name of the roc imperial clan!¡± As he finished his sentence, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s body buzzed with path rhythms as he activated his supernormal knowledge. The color of the sky changed. More than a dozen golden chains shot out of the void and headed toward Qin Chen. The golden chains were engraved with Supreme Sage runes, and they were burning with golden Sage fire. Wherever they passed, life withered, and even the sky was burned with fire marks that destroyed the void. Seeing this, Qin Chen was still fearless. He used the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist and punched out, shattering the void. Before the golden chains could even get close, they were shattered into pieces and turned into nothingness. Knowing that the human Elder King was powerful, the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen did not hold back. He led the former into the starry sky before unleashing his race¡¯s supernormal knowledge with all his might. A roc¡¯s cry came from his body and towering Sage runes were activated. It covered the sky and attacked Qin Chen. The blood of the golden-winged rocs flowed in the bodies of the huge rocs. Hence, their supernormal knowledge was comparable to the Emperor-level supernormal knowledge. This move of the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was enough to kill any living being below the Supreme Sage realm. However, at this moment, mist appeared around Qin Chen, forming 33 hazy and magnificent rays of light of the great path to guard him. It was as if the Thirty-three Heavens were guarding his body. He let the Sage runes fall and they shattered the stars, but he was not hurt at all. A member of the heavenly eye race used his race¡¯s supernormal knowledge and projected the battle scenes in the starry sky to everyone. When they saw Qin Chen¡¯s Thirty-three Heavens, all the ten thousand ancient races let out a cry of surprise. ¡°What is this supernormal knowledge? To think it can block Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s supernormal knowledge?!¡± ¡°This is the first time the human Elder King has used this supernormal knowledge. With such terrifying defensive power, it¡¯s probably an Emperor-level supernormal knowledge comparable to that of a primordial emperor.¡± ¡°What? How could the human race¡¯s Elder King have so much Emperor-level supernormal knowledge? Could he be the son of an Emperor?¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s an Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge? How can he stop Supreme Sage Peng Zhen?¡± A member of the ten thousand ancient races snorted coldly. As expected, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen erupted with power once more, and his entire body flickered with complex and obscure runes. These runes shone with a golden light, illuminating the ten thousand miles of space while exuding an extremely terrifying pressure. A primordial emperor¡¯s supernormal knowledge at the ultimate stage! A terrifying pressure swept over, causing heaven and earth to change color. Even from this distance, the humans and ten thousand ancient races watching from the Roc Forest could still feel the pressure. Their mouths went dry and sweat poured down like rain. ¡°Elder King of the human race, it¡¯s your honor to die under the primordial emperor¡¯s supernormal knowledge of our roc imperial clan,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen snorted coldly and unleashed his full power. The starry sky darkened again. With a wave of his hand, thousands of lightning-filled Sage runes flew toward Qin Chen. The supernormal knowledge was unleashed, and the thunder Sage runes turned into a cage to imprison Qin Chen. Thunder rumbled, and the thunder Sage runes all over the sky connected before turning into a roc bathed in thunder. The thunder roc let out a cry that seemed to come from the primordial era. Anyone who heard it had dazed eyes and unfocused minds. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. A Supreme Sage unleashing a primordial emperor¡¯s supernormal knowledge at the ultimate stage was countless times more terrifying than the Supreme Sage-level supernormal knowledge unleashed by the netherworld race¡¯s Sage King back then. Even though his current combat strength was comparable to a half-step Supreme Sage, he would be killed immediately if he was careless and hit by the attack! ¡°Desolate Divine Halberd!¡± With the Thirty-three Heavens guarding him, Qin Chen held the quasi-emperor weapon, the Desolate Divine Halberd. Like a god of war, he fought with the thunder roc. Eight Desolation Stirkes! Desolate Destruction! Desolate Killing! Qin Chen unleashed his full power. He wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd and used two quasi-Emperor level supernormal knowledge. Under the resonance of the Desolate Divine Halberd, the power of the supernormal knowledge was no weaker than an Emperor level supernormal knowledge. His combat power was even close to that of a Supreme Sage and he was actually able to suppress the thunder roc, even cutting off one of its wings. ¡°Detestable! Go to hell!¡± The Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared in anger and transformed into a giant roc. He flapped his wings, which were a million feet long, and swooped down from the starry sky, carrying a terrifying Sagely might as he attacked Qin Chen. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might. His entire body emitted a golden light as he performed the last three moves of the Eight Desolate Strikes. With a wave, a flick, and a stab, he actually forced the two giant rocs to retreat, shocking everyone. ¡°The human Elder King is able to force the Supreme Sage Peng Zhen to such a state while only being a Sage King. Who is he? Could he really be the son of the great emperor?¡± ¡°If we allow the human race¡¯s Elder King to succeed today, how will the ten thousand ancient races have the face to negotiate with the human race in the Myriad Race Gathering?¡± ¡°What¡¯s that? Such power to have even made the void collapse, could it be an ancient imperial weapon?¡± At this moment, a golden feather appeared from the depths of the Roc Forest. The golden feather was covered in holy light and flickered with the array patterns of a primordial emperor. Wherever it passed by, the void exploded. It was the primordial emperor weapon left behind by the roc primordial emperor. Chapter 143 - Escape The revival of the ancient imperial weapon shook the entire Roc Forest. The golden feather shot up into the sky, shattering the void in an instant. It shot through the clouds and entered the starry sky. ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the primordial roc emperor¡¯s weapon, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword!¡± ¡°What did the human Elder King do to force Supreme Sage Peng Zhen to use the ancient imperial weapon? ¡± ¡°Hmph! The combat power of the human Elder King is indeed unrivaled, and he can even use his quasi-emperor weapon to fight against the ancient Supreme Sage, but now it¡¯s all useless because Supreme Sage Peng Zhen has summoned the ancient imperial weapon. The human Elder King would be stopped here!¡± ¡°The ancient imperial weapon is an extreme ancient weapon that can suppress all paths. It seems like Supreme Sage Peng Zhen is truly angry.¡± ¡°The outcome of this battle has already been decided. The human race should prepare to collect the corpse of the human race¡¯s Elder King!¡± Everyone was shocked, but the ten thousand ancient races quickly sneered. With the recovery of the ancient imperial weapon, even the strongest experts of the Shifang divine realm would have to suffer defeat, let alone the human Elder King, who was only a Sage King. In contrast, the humans were anxious for the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s Elder King. Someone shouted, ¡°Where are the extreme ancient weapons of the human race? Where¡¯s the Supreme Sage of our human race? Are you going to watch the Elder King die under the ancient imperial weapon?¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t you revived the extreme emperor weapon? why aren¡¯t the imperial clans attacking? Why hasn¡¯t the Supreme Sage of the dynasty made his move yet?¡± ¡°The Elder King¡¯s combat strength is unrivaled in the world. He can¡¯t die!¡± The shouts were endless, but not a single imperial clan or dynasty made a move. It was as if they had discussed it beforehand, and all of them simply remained silent. The humans were all disappointed. They looked at the boundless starry sky outside the Emperor Star with their hearts in their throats. They were worried about the Elder King¡¯s situation. In the depths of the starry sky, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen exploded with power and his terrifying Sagely might enveloped half of the starry sky, causing all the stars to tremble. The Divine Roc Emperor Sword flew over from the Emperor Star and shattered the stars in the sky. It floated in front of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen like a giant golden feather and exuded an extreme imperial might that could crush the void. Legend had it that the Divine Roc Emperor Sword was formed back when the Roc Emperor proved his path and all his feathers fell off before transforming into Emperor-level feathers. The Roc Emperor combined the quasi-Emperor feathers with his sword with a forbidden method to form the Divine Roc Emperor Sword that it was today. It possessed the supreme might of an Emperor that could cut through the ages. Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was extremely powerful, to begin with, and was known as one of the most powerful existences in the world. On the other hand, Qin Chen was a Chaotic Sage King who had the terrifying combat power of a half-step Supreme Sage. However, even he needed the help of a quasi-emperor weapon like the Desolate Divine Halberd to injure Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. Now that Supreme Sage Peng Zhen had used his extreme ancient weapon, Qin Chen thus lost his advantage. ¡°Human Elder King, I have underestimated you. To think you have a quasi-emperor weapon. No wonder you dare to provoke the roc imperial clan. But in front of an ancient imperial weapon, everything will be annihilated,¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Zhen roared as he activated the ancient imperial weapon with all his might. The golden light of the Divine Roc Emperor Sword became even brighter, and the surrounding tens of thousands of paths submitted to it. The primordial imperial might struck, and the entire starry sky was frozen. Qin Chen activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might and barely managed to block the primordial imperial might of the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. However, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword was an ancient imperial weapon that was comparable to an extreme emperor weapon. Furthermore, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s cultivation was far beyond his own. If they were to fight, he would definitely lose. ¡°Bind!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared as the Divine Roc Emperor Sword unleashed its might. A golden chain of the great path struck out, containing the power of the extreme path. Once one came into contact with it, even cultivators of the Shifang realm would die unwillingly. Qin Chen was not a person who liked to take risks. Since he dared to come to the roc imperial clan, he had naturally considered their usage of the ancient imperial weapon. The universe buzzed and the void shattered. A dragon pattern sword pierced through the void and floated in front of Qin Chen. The dragon patterns on the blade were vivid and lifelike. With a dragon¡¯s roar, the dragon patterns actually came to life and turned into a five-clawed golden dragon that wrapped around the sword. The dragon pattern sword was an emperor weapon that Qin Chen had borrowed from the Great Qin Dynasty. It was the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword left behind by the Emperor of the Ages, Qin Shihuang. It was said that when the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword got angry, it could cut mountains and rivers for hundreds of millions of miles and destroy all the countries in the nine Heavens. This was a sword that had such a name. ¡°Slash!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he activated the extreme emperor weapon with all his might. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword operated on its own and slashed out a sword energy that was hundreds of millions of feet long, destroying thousands of stars and cutting off the chains of the great path that the Divine Roc Emperor Sword had sent out. ¡°What? You actually brought an extreme emperor weapon?!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Zhen was taken aback. He had never thought that the Elder King would have an extreme emperor weapon with him. With an extreme emperor weapon protecting the other party, how was he supposed to kill him today? ¡°There are many imperial clans in the human race, so why would it be difficult to borrow an extreme emperor weapon? You¡¯ve provoked me time and time again. It¡¯s time to settle the score with you,¡± Qin Chen said coldly and swallowed a Sage King pill. The pill was a peerless-grade pill that he had obtained from checking in. Even if he was heavily injured, such a pill could instantly recover his combat strength. The pill melted in his mouth, and the energy he had used to activate the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was replenished. Qin Chen¡¯s condition returned to its peak. At the same time, he roared and used the improvement secret technique recorded in the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, and his aura instantly rose as his cultivation reached level 9 of the Sage King realm. His combat power instantly broke the shackles between the Sage King and Supreme Sage realms. Now, in terms of combat power, Qin Chen was truly comparable to a Supreme Sage. Otherwise, with both parties having extreme emperor weapons, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s combat power would have an overwhelming advantage. Of course, there were side effects to such a secret technique such that he would be weak for a while, but he had no choice now. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword operated on its own, and a golden dragon¡¯s roar sounded. The sword intent covered the entire starry sky, and some abandoned small planets nearby directly exploded. This was the emperor¡¯s might. Even if wasn¡¯t apparent, it was enough to destroy a world. It was not something that human power could resist. The two fought in the outer realm. The battle was extremely intense. They would easily tear open spatial cracks that were tens of millions of miles long. If any of their attacks landed on the Canglan Continent, it would be enough to sink a vast region like the Southern Desolate Lands. This was the supreme power of extreme ancient weapons, and also the most terrifying battle between two Supreme Sages. Boom boom boom boom boom! The two sides clashed more than a dozen times, and every collision destroyed star fields and exploded many stars. In this battle, even a Supreme Sage like Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was severely injured. He shouted at Qin Chen, ¡°Human Elder King, there¡¯s a huge price to pay to activate the extreme ancient weapon. Why don¡¯t we stop here? ¡± ¡°I can afford this little price!¡± Qin Chen was disdainful. Although he was almost drained every time he used the extreme emperor weapon, he was also an alchemy master and had plenty of top-tier pills to replenish his energy. This consumption was nothing to him. The Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s situation was different. Although he, too, had a lot of pills, these pills were far inferior to Sage King-grade pills. To him, they were like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. If they continued to fight, he would not be able to win against Qin Chen even if he was a Supreme Sage. ¡°Detestable! Human Elder King, do you really want to fight to the death?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared in anger as he continued to use his ancient imperial weapon. His face turned pale as his spiritual energy consumption was too great. He did not dare to continue fighting with the human Elder King. However, Qin Chen had gone to great lengths to borrow an extreme emperor weapon. Naturally, he would not let Supreme Sage Peng Zhen off so easily. He took another Sage King pill and recovered a little. Then, he activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword to attack again and said coldly, ¡°You¡¯ve provoked me time and time again, so you should¡¯ve known this would be the result.¡± Seeing how decisive Qin Chen was, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen cowered. He was one of the few remaining Supreme Sages of the roc imperial clan and he could not afford to die Here. Hence, he activated the Divine Roc Emperor Sword with all his might to block the attack of the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. After that, he transformed into a hundred thousand feet long roc and fled towards the Roc Forest. Chapter 144 - The Second Primordial Supreme Sage of the Imperial Clan ¡°You want to escape?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. His chaotic Sage power surged and he threw the Desolate Divine Halberd at Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. The Desolate Divine Halberd was a quasi-Emperor weapon. Under Qin Chen¡¯s control, it froze heaven and earth, slowing down Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. The other party was clearly a primordial Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan who could cross tens of thousands of miles in an instant with a flap of his wings, but his speed was now pitifully slow. He could not even compare to a cultivator of the Bahuang realm. ¡°Sage King arrow, Sage King bow!¡± With a single thought, two Sage King weapons appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. He nocked an arrow on his bow and released his full power, shooting an arrow at the fleeing Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. ¡°Detestable!¡± Feeling the sharp attack coming from behind him, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared in anger. Under the suppression of the Desolate Divine Halberd which made him slow down, plus the Divine Roc Emperor Sword was restrained by the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, added to the fact the Sage King supreme-grade arrow was shot by Qin Chen, who had the combat power of a Supreme Sage, once he was hit, although it would be difficult to kill him, he would definitely suffer a terrible injury. In a moment of desperation, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen used a secret technique. His massive body, which was hundreds of thousands of feet long, suddenly exploded. However, he also thus dodged the target of the Desolate Divine Halberd. With extreme speed, he fled into the Roc Forest in the blink of an eye. Tens of millions of array patterns flickered in the Roc Forest, some being Emperor patterns left behind by the primordial Emperor. These array patterns formed a barrier that exploded when the Sage King arrow landed. A terrifying destructive force engulfed the entire Roc Forest, enough to severely injure even a Supreme Sage. However, after all the destructive ripples dissipated, the Roc Forest was still unharmed as the array patterns left behind by the primordial Emperor had blocked the attack completely. Qin Chen let out a soft sigh. As expected of a primordial Emperor, an existence that was on par with the ancient great emperors. Nothing such an existence left behind was simple. Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw. They could not believe that Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, who had an ancient imperial weapon, was defeated in the end. Furthermore, he was defeated by the human Elder King whose cultivation was far inferior to his. ¡°Why does the human Elder King have an extreme emperor weapon? How could Supreme Sage Peng Zhen lose?¡± ¡°Damn it! Is the human Elder King really invincible?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a Supreme Sage! And he also has the ancient imperial weapon. How could he lose?¡± ¡°The rise of the human race¡¯s Elder King means that the ten thousand ancient races are in danger!¡± ¡°If the human race¡¯s Elder King has such battle-power, who from the ten thousand ancient races can fight him?¡± The ten thousand ancient races all lowered their proud heads. In this battle, they had completely lost the pride that they had maintained since the primordial ear. The human Elder King¡¯s invincible combat strength made them terrified. On the other hand, after the Elder King¡¯s victory, the humans, who were originally worried, had a complete reversal. Everyone smiled and praised loudly, ¡°The Elder King has brought an extreme emperor weapon, no wonder he dares to attack the roc imperial clan! We were worried for nothing. How could the invincible Elder King yield?¡± ¡°The human race has the Elder King. Why should we fear the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°With the Elder King¡¯s combat power and talent, so what if the son of the primordial emperor revives? The Elder King can still fight him.¡± ¡°Thank God the Elder King is a human.¡± ¡°After this battle, who would still dare to bully the human race in the Myriad Races Gathering?¡± In the starry sky, after Supreme Sage Peng Zhen escaped, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword quieted down and hung in the starry sky with primordial emperor¡¯s might surrounding it. Qin Chen did not have the guts to try and snatch a primordial emperor weapon. After all, it was an extreme ancient weapon left behind by a primordial emperor, who was comparable to an ancient great emperor. If an outsider dared to touch his weapon, even if no one activated it, it would probably awaken and kill him! Qin Chen put away the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and the Desolate Divine Halberd. He stepped into the void and returned to the sky above the Roc Forest under the admiring gazes of the humans and the respectful gazes of the experts from the ten thousand ancient races. When the ten thousand ancient races saw him, they involuntarily retreated, not daring to meet his eyes. ¡°Roc imperial clan, didn¡¯t you want me to come and receive my punishment? Come out and fight!¡± Qin Chen sneered. After taking a tenth-grade Holy King pill, his divine power instantly recovered by a lot. A terrifying Sagely might emanated from his body, enveloping the entire Roc Forest. His Desolate Divine Halberd was pointed at the Roc Forest fearlessly. ¡°Detestable! Isn¡¯t the human race¡¯s Elder King a little too arrogant? Does he want to stand there right in front of the roc imperial clan¡¯s doors?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. The ten thousand ancient races have already revived the nine ancient imperial clans. If even one of them works together with the roc imperial clan, they can still suppress the Elder King even if the latter has an extreme emperor weapon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go to the other ancient imperial clans and beg the Supreme Sages to help!¡± A Bahuang Venerable roc flapped its wings and flew out of the Roc Forest. It wanted to get help from the other ancient imperial clans, but it had only flown less than a hundred meters before it was frozen in the air by the terrifying Sagely might. ¡°Little bird, where do you want to go?¡± Qin Chen raised his hand and asked. The roc¡¯s entire body trembled as he somewhat regretted being the one to stand out. Now that he was being targeted by the murderous God, would he still have a way out? He sobbed and said, ¡°I¡¯m just going home to take a look. Please continue and don¡¯t mind me.¡± ¡°The show isn¡¯t over yet, why are you going home?¡± Qin Chen waved his hand, and the roc was forced to fly back before falling heavily on the ground, creating a huge pit. He saw stars as lay on the ground in a daze. ¡°Elder King, I was wrong. I¡¯m not going anywhere. Please let me go!¡± The roc begged bitterly. With snot and tears in his eyes as he raised his wings and bowed to Qin Chen, the whole scene was amusing. Qin Chen killed the roc with a slap and took out the Black Phoenix Cauldron from the system space, standing it on the ground. Then, he took out some precious herbs and put them in, making the onlookers confused. It was only when Qin Chen took out the body of the roc that he had just killed that everyone could guess what he was going to do. ¡°He can¡¯t be thinking of eating that roc, right?¡± ¡°What a supreme humiliation! Since the human Elder King has already done such a thing, how can the roc imperial clan still call themselves an ancient imperial clan if they don¡¯t anything?¡± ¡°No one in their right mind can tolerate such provocation. Is eating someone¡¯s family right in front of the other party¡¯s house something a human should do?¡± 1 The ten thousand ancient races were all furious, but due to the might of the human Elder King, they could only hide in the crowd and curse. They could only watch as Qin Chen did such an immoral thing. Qin Chen used his spiritual energy to lift the roc, then lit a fire to burn the feathers on the roc¡¯s body. However, there was one feather that could not even be ignited by the path¡¯s fire. The feather was emitting a golden light and was the roc¡¯s natal golden feather. The blood of the golden-winged roc flowed in the bodies of the rocs. When they were born, they would have natal golden feathers, which were also their innate magic treasures. As their cultivation improved, the quality of their natal golden feathers would also improve. Although this roc was only in the Bahuang realm, its natal golden feather was still a rare treasure that could not be obtained. The legendary Five Feathers Fan was made of five natal golden feathers and had amazing power. With Qin Chen¡¯s talent for refining weapons, as long as he had enough materials, he was confident that he could make the legendary Five Feathers Fan. Keeping the golden feather, Qin Chen¡¯s finger drew a line, cutting off a large piece of meat from the roc¡¯s wing. After washing it with spiritual spring water, he placed it into the Black Phoenix Cauldron to stew. ¡°Hmph! The blood of the golden-winged roc flows in the blood of the roc imperial clan, and their bodies are impervious to fire and water. It¡¯s impossible to cook its meat!¡± A member of the ten thousand ancient races coldly snorted, but as soon as he finished speaking, a meaty aroma wafted out of the Black Phoenix Cauldron. The being who had spoken immediately blushed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. However, he was still stubborn and said, ¡°So what if it¡¯s cooked? The members of the roc imperial clan may not be golden-winged rocs, but they are all chaotic demonic spawns. Their bodies are unparalleled. Even if it¡¯s cooked, its meat is harder than divine iron. Even a Supreme Sage would find it hard to swallow.¡± Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Qin Chen picked up a large piece of meat from the Black Phoenix Cauldron and began to chew it with supreme relish. In just a short while, he had finished the entire pot of roc meat. ¡°Pfft! Who was the one who said that roc meat can¡¯t be cooked and can¡¯t be swallowed?¡± ¡°I¡¯m dying of laughter. Didn¡¯t they say that the rocs¡¯ meat is tougher than divine iron and that even Supreme Sages have difficulty swallowing it? Elder King doesn¡¯t seem to have had enough yet though!¡± ¡°What primordial imperial clan? What chaotic demonic spawn? In the end, they can only become the Elder King¡¯s food.¡± The humans were all ridiculing the ten thousand ancient races, and some people were even rolling on the ground while clutching their stomachs, dying of laughter. This made the faces of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ members turn black, and they all regretted talking too much. In the Roc Forest, the upper echelons of the roc imperial clan could not stand it anymore. Another Supreme Sage walked out and shouted at Qin Chen, ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯ve crossed the line!¡± Chapter 145 - Wanting to Enter the Roc Forest to Check In A dignified middle-aged man in a divine robe walked out. His body was surrounded by a golden light as he stepped into the void and walked out from the depths of the Roc Forest. His aura was extremely terrifying. Compared to Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, it was even more terrifying. ¡°Another Supreme Sage!¡± ¡°To think there¡¯s more than one Supreme Sage in the roc imperial clan! How is this possible? Even if it¡¯s the ancient imperial clans, there shouldn¡¯t be too many Supreme Sages left!¡± The humans were shocked. ¡°This is Supreme Sage Peng Kong. I didn¡¯t expect him to have sealed himself up to this point.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s the all-powerful Supreme Sage Peng Kong from the primordial era. Back then, he was even more famous than Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. He once dominated an era. With this, the human Elder King can¡¯t be arrogant anymore.¡± ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong was already an unrivaled powerful being during the primordial era. Since he has sealed himself and reappeared now, no one in the world can defeat him. The Elder King of the human race should be done for.¡± ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, the human Elder King is extremely brutal. Please suppress him!¡± When the ten thousand ancient races saw Supreme Sage Peng Kong, their lips curled into a smug smile. They believed that this expert whose name shook the primordial era would definitely be able to kill the human Elder King. Supreme Sage Peng Kong took no notice of the crowd. His gaze fell on Qin Chen. He had seen how terrifying this human Elder King was. Even Supreme Sage Peng Zhen was defeated by him though the former had an ancient imperial weapon. Although it was partly due to Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s carelessness, the human Elder King was also monstrous. Not only did he have an extreme ancient weapon, but he also had a quasi-Emperor weapon. He could also exert the combat power of a Supreme Sage for a short period, so he couldn¡¯t be underestimated. He didn¡¯t expect that such a monster would appear in the human race. Supreme Sage Peng Kong felt a sense of fear. Unless one had absolute confidence in killing someone monstrous like this, it was best not to offend him. He said, ¡°Elder King of the human race, if you stop now, the roc imperial clan can let bygones be bygones and we will steer clear of each other from now on.¡± ¡°Let bygones be bygones?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly, his expression somewhat displeased, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that it was your roc race that provoked me time and time again. And now you want to keep the peace? I won¡¯t agree to that.¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong frowned. He did not expect the human Elder King to be so unyielding. If not for the latter¡¯s extreme emperor weapon, he would have long suppressed him. Even though the roc imperial clan also had an ancient imperial weapon, the price to pay for battling with an extreme emperor weapon was simply too huge. The roc imperial clan had just reappeared not too long ago, and it was clearly not worth it to pay such a price to deal with the human Elder King. Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s tone became placid as he said, ¡°What do you want?¡± Qin Chen squinted and rubbed his chin as he said with a smile, ¡°If you let me take a look at the secret technique of the roc imperial clan, and give me five Sage King-level natal golden feathers, I can let bygones be bygones, and live in peace with you.¡± These words immediately caused an uproar among the ten thousand ancient races, and all of them began to curse in the distance. ¡°Human Elder King, don¡¯t be too arrogant. Supreme Sage Peng Kong has already appeared. Do you think you can leave here alive?¡± ¡°To think he even tried to get his hands on the secret technique and the Sage King-level golden feathers. How bold. Does he think that the ancient imperial clan is a pushover?¡± ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, don¡¯t waste your breath on the human Elder King. Just kill him.¡± ¡°How arrogant! Extremely arrogant! Does he really think the ten thousand ancient races are pushovers?¡± ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, please kill the Elder King of the human race!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold as his aura suddenly exploded. His Sagely might struck and killed the few members of the ten thousand ancient races who were making a ruckus. The scene immediately fell silent, and the other ten thousand ancient races did not dare to make a single sound. The humans were shocked. They did not expect the Elder King to be so unyielding. He still dared to attack even with Supreme Sage Peng Kong present. They could not help but sigh in their hearts. As expected of the Elder King! Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s eyes darkened. For the human Elder King to have secretly brought an extreme emperor weapon today, the roc imperial clan had suffered a huge loss. If he allowed the human Elder King to continue causing trouble, how would the roc imperial clan face the ten thousand ancient races in the future? ¡°We can give you three Sage King-level natal golden feathers as compensation for offending you all these years, but don¡¯t even think about the extreme speed secret technique. This is the bottom line of the roc imperial clan. If you continue to cause trouble, I guarantee that even an extreme emperor weapon won¡¯t be able to protect you,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted coldly and made his final concession. If the human Elder King still refused to retreat, he would kill the other party no matter what price he had to pay. On the other hand, Qin Chen was a little disappointed. He didn¡¯t expect the roc imperial clan to be so stingy, only offering three Sage King-level golden feathers. However, he also knew that this was the bottom line of Supreme Sage Peng Kong and the roc imperial clan. Hence, he had no choice but to agree. After all, no matter how small a fly was, it was still meat! Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s speechless expression, Supreme Sage Peng Kong was so angry that he gritted his teeth. To send this God of plague away as soon as possible, Supreme Sage Peng Kong did not hesitate and immediately sent a message to the depths of the Roc Forest to get someone to bring the natal golden feathers. Not long after, three Sage King-level golden feathers flew out from the depths of the Roc Forest and floated in front of Qin Chen. The three golden feathers gave off a weak Sagely might, and the owners¡¯ cultivations couldn¡¯t be higher than level 2 of the Sage realm. Qin Chen pursed his lips and cursed the roc imperial clan in his heart for being stingy. However, just as he was about to accept the Sage King-level golden feathers, the system¡¯s voice suddenly appeared in his mind. [Strong divinity detected ahead!] Strong divinity! Could it be the Roc Forest? Qin Chen¡¯s heart tightened. He did not expect to find another checkpoint by accident. However, the Roc Forest was the territory of the roc imperial clan. It would be difficult for him to check in here. ¡°Take the things and go! You¡¯re not welcome here!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted and asked Qin Chen to leave. Qin Chen rubbed his palms and smiled, ¡°I heard that the Roc Forest was the place where the ancient Roc Emperor attained his path. As everyone knows, I hold the ancient Roc Emperor in high regard. Since I¡¯m here, I hope that Supreme Sage Peng Kong can bring me around the Roc Forest.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone rolled their eyes, their faces full of question marks. Who was ¡°everyone¡±? Qin Chen had brought an emperor weapon to heavily injure Supreme Sage Peng Zhen and almost killed him. Was this the respect he had for the ancient Roc Emperor? Even the humans were speechless as their eyelids twitched. They were wondering if the Elder King could come up with a better excuse. Who would believe such a ridiculous excuse? Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s face twitched as well. He didn¡¯t expect that Qin Chen would dare to offend him like this. He suppressed his anger and said coldly, ¡°Human Elder King, if you want to go back on your word, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± As he spoke, the aura of Supreme Sage Peng Kong burst forth. Terrifying Supreme Sagely might surged forth, and the great path buzzed. Everyone was enveloped by the terrifying pressure, and their hearts trembled. As expected of an invincible expert from the primordial era, he was truly terrifying. ¡°Don¡¯t be so anxious, Supreme Sage Peng Kong! I just want to go in and take a look. As long as you agree, I can promise to forge a Sage-King weapon for the roc imperial clan. How about it?¡± Qin Chen chuckled. He knew that things wouldn¡¯t be that easy, but he was also very clear about the rules of this world, so he immediately threw out the temptation of a Sage King weapon. The eyes of Supreme Sage Peng Kong flashed with shock and a bright light. He was clearly tempted. After all, a Sage King weapon was a truly rare treasure that was worthy to be the foundation of a faction, let alone a Sage King supreme-grade weapon! Even the roc imperial clan, a powerful and influential ancient imperial clan, only had a handful of Sage King weapons with only one of them being a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. After hesitating for a while, Supreme Sage Peng Kong asked, ¡°You¡¯re really just going in to take a look?¡± Chapter 146 - Check In to the Roc Imperial Clans Ancestral Land! ¡°Is Supreme Sage Peng Kong really going to bring the human Elder King into the Roc Forest?¡± ¡°After all, the human race¡¯s Elder King has promised to help the roc imperial clan refine a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Furthermore, he¡¯s only going to take a look. If it were me, I would agree as well!¡± ¡°Just going in to take a look? Hmph! The human Elder King isn¡¯t so kind. He¡¯s probably plotting something!¡± ¡°With Supreme Sage Peng Kong here, and the Roc Forest being the ancestral grounds of the roc imperial clan, the human Elder King would not be able to get whatever he wants. Since we can get a Sage King weapon for free, why not?¡± The ancient races¡¯ experts once more began to chat silently, but because of the lesson they had just been taught, no one dared to say anything rude to the human race Elder King. On the side of the human race, the humans were also very confused. They did not understand what the Elder King was planning to do. To think he even went to the extent of promising to refine a Sage King weapon for the roc imperial clan. One had to know that some of the human race¡¯s famous Holy Lands didn¡¯t even have a single Sage King weapon! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Supreme Sage Peng Kong. I just want to take a look,¡± Qin Chen ignored everyone else and smiled at Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s expression, Supreme Sage Peng Kong could not help but worry. After all, this fellow was not someone who would willingly suffer losses. Since the other party was willing to use a Sage King weapon as a price to get into the Roc Forest, how could he not have any ulterior motives? Even so, Supreme Sage Peng Kong was not willing to miss out on a Sage King weapon. Hence, after much consideration, he decided to agree to Qin Chen¡¯s request. At most, he would just keep an eye on the latter. ¡°I can bring you to the Roc Forest. However, if you try anything funny, I won¡¯t let you off,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong said in a deep voice. ¡°No problem!¡± Qin Chen patted his chest and promised. Seeing how readily Qin Chen agreed, the feeling that he had been tricked intensified in Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s heart. However, since things had already come to this, he could only fly deep into the Roc Forest with Qin Chen. The array was opened and Qin Chen entered the Roc Forest under the guidance of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. He stopped on the branch of a towering tree that was a hundred thousand feet tall. The tree was extremely huge, with a diameter of at least 3000 meters. Even the trunk under Qin Chen¡¯s feet was at least 300 meters thick! There were many residences on the tree trunks, all of which were the houses of the roc imperial clan. Qin Chen looked into the distance and found that the depths of the Roc Forest were filled with large trees like this. The trunks of these large trees crisscrossed, and at first glance, it looked like a small human village. ¡°This is the place where the roc imperial clan resides. These trees are all heaven and earth spirit trees that can gather spiritual energy themselves. Cultivating here is a hundred times faster than cultivating outside,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted and introduced the Roc Forest to Qin Chen. Qin Chen sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here. Just as Supreme Sage Peng Kong had said, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense. It was several times denser than the spiritual energy in the Taiyi Holy Land. The reason why the roc imperial clan could dominate the primordial era must be closely related to the Roc Forest. ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, I have the utmost respect for the ancient Roc Emperor. I wonder where he attained his path?¡± Qin Chen asked. He did not forget the reason why he was here. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was speechless. Naturally, he didn¡¯t believe Qin Chen¡¯s words. However, for the sake of the Sage King weapon, he still brought Qin Chen to the roc imperial clan¡¯s sacred ground. It was an ancient golden tree. It was only a third the size of the other trees, but it was surrounded by path marks. If one listened carefully, one could hear the clear sound of the great path coming from the ancient tree. ¡°This is the sacred land of my race, and also the place where the emperor of my race, the ancient Roc Emperor, attained his path. Now that I¡¯ve already satisfied your request, shouldn¡¯t you start forging the Sage King weapon for my race?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong asked. Qin Chen stared at the ancient golden tree as the system¡¯s notification sounded in his mind. [Ding!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been detected here. Would you like to check in?] [Note: You can repeatedly check in here!] Qin Chen¡¯s purpose for this trip was to check in, so he naturally did not hesitate to say in his heart, ¡°Check in here!¡± The next moment. [Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in to the ancient Roc Emperor¡¯s land of enlightenment and obtained the Golden Roc Dao Fire!] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Qin Chen was dumbfounded. He had spent the price of refining a Sage King weapon in exchange for a ball of dao fire? In the world, flames were divided into ordinary fires, spiritual fires ignited by spiritual energy, mystical fires born by Heaven and Earth, and Dao fires that contained the great path. Among them, the mystical fires and Dao fires were the most terrifying and precious. However, Dao fires were also differentiated into the weak and the strong. After becoming a Sage, one could easily summon a Dao fire. Such a Dao fire only contained a small amount of the great path. Although it was stronger than a spiritual fire, it was far inferior to a mystical fire and was not very precious. Qin Chen was reluctant to work for nothing. He immediately asked the system to appraise the Golden Roc Dao Fire, wanting to know its quality. [Golden Roc Dao Fire: Divine-grade Dao fire. It contains the great path of the ancient Roc Emperor and has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. It is extremely rare.] Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the introduction. So it was a sporadic peerless-grade Dao fire. It seemed that he had not made a loss on this trip. After all, with the Golden Roc Dao Fire, the flames would be a huge bonus whether it was refining weapons or medicine. When Qin Chen reached the Supreme Sage realm, he could thus challenge the refining of Supreme Sage weapons and pills. ¡°The materials for the Sage King weapon have been prepared. When will you start?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong disrupted Qin Chen¡¯s thoughts and urged him to start forging. Qin Chen retracted his thoughts and looked at the ancient tree with some reluctance to leave. This place contained a powerful divinity, and he had only checked in once. If he checked in for a few more days, he would definitely get a lot of treasures. His eyes flickered as he thought of an idea. He smiled at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and said, ¡°I can start refining the Sage King weapon right now, but such a process requires the right time and place. I think this place is not bad, so why don¡¯t we do it here?¡± ¡°Here?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s eyes widened in shock. He had not expected Qin Chen to make such a request. This was the sacred land of the clan. Even the core disciples of the roc imperial clan could not come here as they pleased. Now that Qin Chen requested to refine the weapon here, he was troubled. ¡°Must you do it here?¡± Ancient Sage Peng Xuan frowned. Qin Chen put on his airs and assumed the attitude of an expert. He replied in a deep voice, ¡°If you want me to successfully refine a Sage King weapon of the highest quality, I have to do it here!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong naturally did not trust Qin Chen. However, there was indeed a saying that refining weapons required the right time and place. After hesitating for a while, he finally agreed to Qin Chen¡¯s conditions. After a while, an ancient Sage walked over with an interspatial ring. The interspatial ring flashed with light and revealed a floor full of refining materials. There were ancient mines, dragon and phoenix blood, and spiritual liquid¡­ Any one of them would be a treasure that Sage Kings would fight for in the outside world. Qin Chen looked at a piece of black ore and was shocked. To think it was the Eternal Night Stone Essence! Chapter 147 - Sage King Supreme The Eternal Night Stone Essence was a material for Emperor weapons and quasi-Emperor weapons. Any piece of it was enough to tempt a great emperor. Even though the Eternal Night Stone Essence before him was only the size of a fist and was not enough to forge an Emperor weapon or a quasi-Emperor weapon, it was enough to make a supreme divine weapon that even a Supreme Sage would be tempted by. ¡°These are the most precious forging materials of the roc imperial clan. It should be enough for you to forge an advanced-grade Sage King weapon, right?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong looked at Qin Chen, who was staring at the materials blankly, and said, ¡°As long as you can forge a Sage King weapon, no matter how many materials are left, you can take them with you.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was immediately tempted. If he could have the Eternal Night Stone Essence, he would make a huge profit on this trip! Letting out a dry cough, he asked, ¡°What requirements do you have for the Sage King weapon? I can start immediately.¡± The corners of Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s lips curled up as he took out a drawing. He opened the drawing and revealed the blueprint of a heavenly halberd that was a few feet long. He smiled and said, ¡°Just refine the weapon according to this.¡± Qin Chen took a look at the blueprint and his joy immediately disappeared. According to the blueprint, all materials would be used. After forging the Sage King weapon, only scraps would be left. Those scraps probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to forge a decent weapon. The roc imperial clan was seriously so stingy. No wonder the other party dared to say that he would give him the remaining materials. So this was the old man¡¯s plan? He was really so cunning. However, since Qin Chen had already agreed, he could only follow the instructions on the blueprint and start forging the Sage King weapon. That being said, he would not waste the Eternal Night Stone Essence here, so he took a rare ore from his treasury to exchange for it. Supreme Sage Peng Kong did not know that the black ore was the famous Eternal Night Stone Essence. Since it was too rare, not many people had seen it in the primordial age. It was normal that he did not recognize it. As such, when Qin Chen took out an even larger piece of rare ore, he was very pleased and did not stop Qin Chen. Refining a Sage King weapon required a lot of time, and the materials used for this halberd were simply too shocking. Qin Chen spent half a month and still had not finished refining it. In this half a month, Qin Chen checked in here every day and obtained a lot of things, such as primordial emperor supernormal knowledge, Supreme Sage pills, comprehension of the great path, and so on. However, the later he stayed and checked in day by day, the less precious the things he got, which made him want to leave. [Congratulations, host. You¡¯ve successfully checked in. You¡¯ve received a Supreme Sage-level golden roc feather.] On this day, Qin Chen was preparing to check in at the ancient golden tree for the last time. The system seemed to know that he was about to leave and actually dropped a Supreme Sage-level natal golden roc feather. Including the four Sage King-level natal golden feathers he already had, he had thus gathered the materials for refining the Five Feathers Fan. At the same time, the sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Lightning flickered within the clouds, and muffled sounds of thunder could be heard. This was the weapon tribulation of a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. As long as the weapon survived the weapon tribulation, it would be considered a success. ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, the weapon tribulation¡­¡± Qin Chen looked at the tribulation in the sky and then at Supreme Sage Peng Kong. His meaning was self-evident. Although such a weapon tribulation was nothing to Qin Chen, he had already helped the roc imperial clan forge a Sage King weapon, and it was an advanced grade one at that. There was no need for him to be at the forefront of this matter. Supreme Sage Peng Kong did not say anything more. He flew into the sky above the Roc Forest without a word and waved his hand. With that, a huge hand appeared and crushed the thunderclouds. A Supreme Sage was truly terrifying! However, just when everyone thought that the weapon tribulation was over, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly gathered again, and the aura became even more terrifying. A bolt of shocking black lightning shot out from the thunderclouds, falling towards Qin Chen, who was forging the Sage King weapon. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was shocked. He did not expect the weapon tribulation to be so powerful. As such, he did not hold back anymore as he unleashed his full power and met the black lightning. In the sky, a series of thunderclaps came as bolts of lightning struck down. Each one of them was enough to kill a Sage. It was clear how terrifying this weapon tribulation was. Many of the ten thousand ancient races and humans who had yet to leave saw this. They thus knew that the human Elder King had successfully forged a Sage King supreme-grade weapon for the roc imperial clan. ¡°This can¡¯t be. To think the human Elder King did refine a Sage King weapon for the roc imperial clan! With such a terrifying weapon tribulation, I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯s at least a Sage King advanced-grade weapon. Its power is far beyond any other Sage King weapon.¡± ¡°How could the Elder King forge a Sage King advanced-grade weapon for the ancient imperial clan? Isn¡¯t this placing the human race in danger?¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King is truly a genius. In just half a month, he was able to refine a Sage King advanced-grade weapon. Such talent in refining is rarely seen even in the primordial era. If only he could submit to the ten thousand ancient races.¡± ¡°Bah! The Elder King¡¯s battle strength and talent in refining and alchemy are both extraordinary. He¡¯s a supreme figure of the human race, so how can he submit to your ten thousand ancient races? Are you all delusional?¡± ¡°Who else is there in the human race other than the Elder King? Don¡¯t forget that we have many experts in the ten thousand ancient races, and we even have a self-proclaimed son of an ancient Emperor. If the human Elder King wants to live, he can only submit!¡± ¡°How arrogant! So what if you have the son of an ancient Emperor? The Elder King is invincible. He just might be a match for that person!¡± The people outside started quarreling, but the person in the center of the topic was shocked by the heavenly halberd in front of him. Before it was even activated, the heavenly halberd was already releasing a pressure comparable to a Sage King. If it was activated, how terrifying would its power be? This was no longer a Sage King advanced-grade weapon, but a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Qin Chen wanted to experience the power of the heavenly halberd for himself, but just as he extended his hand, the heavenly halberd flew into the hands of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Supreme Sage Peng Kong activated the halberd and immense pressure came crashing down. Even Sages could not withstand it. With a wave of his arm, the heavenly halberd drew a crescent moon in the air, cutting through the void and shattering a star in the distant starry sky. Such power was no weaker than Qin Chen¡¯s bow and arrow. ¡°Good weapon!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong laughed heartily. It could be said that he had never seen a Sage King weapon of such quality, not even in the primordial era. With the heavenly halberd in his hand, Supreme Sage Peng Kong returned to the Roc Forest and smiled at Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King of the human race, this Sage King supreme-grade weapon was made by you. Come and name it!¡± This was the rule of the primordial era. No matter who the weapon was being refined for, the name of the weapon could be given by the refiner. From this, one could see the status of refiners in the primordial era. Qin Chen didn¡¯t refuse. After thinking carefully, he said in a deep voice, ¡°Since it shattered a star the moment it was born, then let¡¯s call it the Star-shattering Halberd.¡± ¡°Star-shattering Halberd! Good name!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong laughed heartily. He was very satisfied with the name. Then, he turned to Qin Chen and said, ¡°Human Elder King, are you willing to join my roc imperial clan? If you do so, your family and your faction will be under the protection of the roc imperial clan from now on!¡± Chapter 148 - War Starts Qin Chen was surprised. He didn¡¯t think that Supreme Sage Peng would try to recruit him. After all, his relationship with the roc imperial clan was far from good. ¡°I know that you have many conflicts with the roc imperial clan. But don¡¯t worry, as long as you join my clan, I will not pursue the matter any further. I will even distribute cultivation resources to you according to the elder¡¯s share,¡± When he saw that Qin Chen did not say anything, Supreme Sage Peng Kong extended the offer once more. He was determined to recruit Qin Chen into the roc Imperial clan. After all, who wouldn¡¯t be tempted by such a refining master with unrivaled combat power? Even the far ancient imperial clan would be tempted. Although Qin Chen did not have any racial discrimination, he would never join another race. Moreover, he had the system with him, so he did not care for the cultivation resources of the roc imperial clan. He decisively shook his head and refused, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I refuse!¡± ¡°What?¡± Supreme Sage Peng cried out in shock. He did not understand why Qin Chen would reject him. One must know that the benefits he offered were quite rich. Just the condition that the other party would be protected by the roc Imperial clan was something that would make many humans outside agree without hesitation. In addition to the elder-level cultivation resources, he could not understand why Qin Chen would reject him. ¡°I¡¯ve already done what I promised you. Goodbye!¡± Qin Chen smiled. After checking in here for half a month, he was no longer in the mood to stay here. He stepped into the void and prepared to leave. ¡°Race leader, we can¡¯t let him go!¡± A shout was heard as Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, who was previously forced to flee by Qin Chen, appeared and blocked the latter¡¯s leaving path. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. Even though he was facing the two Supreme Sages, he was not afraid at all. He asked them, ¡°What do you mean by this? Do you want to go back on your word?¡± ¡°Human Elder King, the race leader has only agreed to bring you in, but he never agreed to let you go. Don¡¯t even think about leaving here today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared with hatred. If such a person could not be used by the roc imperial clan, they would have to kill him. With a wave of his hand, a sky full of array runes gushed out and turned into an array, trapping Qin Chen inside. Qin Chen was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he looked at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and asked coldly, ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, you can¡¯t win me over, so you¡¯re going to kill me?¡± Supreme Sage Peng was a little hesitant. As a Supreme Sage that dominated the primordial era, he would naturally not resort to such despicable means normally. However, the human Elder King¡¯s talent was simply too shocking. If the other party was allowed to grow, he would probably become a major threat to the roc imperial clan and the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Human Elder King, as long as you agree to join my race, I can immediately remove the array,¡± Supreme Sage Peng looked at Qin Chen with a serious expression. The meaning behind his words was self-evident. If Qin Chen still refused to join the roc Imperial clan, he would kill him. ¡°Hehe, what righteous words! What if I don¡¯t agree?¡± Qin Chen shouted coldly. Even though he was in their territory, he had no fear. ¡°Human Elder King, you are seeking your own destruction!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s face turned cold as the energy within his body surged. He was about to attack. ¡°Race leader, why waste words on him? I¡¯ll activate the array to kill him now!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared and his aura burst forth. Spiritual energy surged and the array was fully activated by him, erupting with a power that would make even a Supreme Sage¡¯s expression change. ¡°This is our race¡¯s killing array. During the primordial age, it killed other Supreme Sages. Human Elder King, you will die today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen snorted coldly. His face was filled with hatred. He still remembered the humiliation that Qin Chen had brought him not long ago. Today, he had to take revenge. The killing array was activated, and the array patterns surged, bringing a terrifying sense of oppression to Qin Chen. A sword light came, followed by terrifying sword energy. Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed. He did not want to die here, so he immediately summoned the extreme emperor weapon. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword appeared, and the sword energy that could kill a Supreme Sage shattered inch by inch. Even the killing array was shattering. ¡°Race leader!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared. Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s face turned cold and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the ancient imperial weapon, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword, appeared out of thin air. It unleashed its emperor¡¯s might to restrain the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword. The two extreme emperor weapons clashed and the entire forest shook. Many trees and mountains were cut in half, and screams sounded, coming from the members of the roc imperial clan in the surroundings. ¡°Activate the race-protecting array!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared and all the Sages from the roc Imperial clan unleashed their powers. Golden Sage runes rose from the ground and covered the entire Roc Forest. With the help of the golden Sage runes, every blade of grass and tree in the forest became extremely hard. Even the shockwaves from the collision of emperor weapons could not destroy the plants a hundred miles away. Of course, this was under the premise that the emperor weapons were not fully unleashed. Qin Chen was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the roc imperial clan¡¯s protective array to be so powerful that it could even protect the aftermath of emperor weapon battles. No wonder these two dared to attack him here. ¡°Human Elder King, even if you have an emperor weapon, you won¡¯t be able to survive today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared as his Sagely might spread. His entire body glowed with golden light as he activated the killing array with all his might, attempting to kill Qin Chen with it. Qin Chen did not dare to hold back anymore. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd decisively and struck at the array with all his might. A corner of the array was already broken by the emperor weapon before this, so with the halberd attack, a hole was torn in the array, allowing Qin Chen to escape. ¡°Detestable! Don¡¯t even think about escaping!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen growled as he activated a Sage King weapon and chased after Qin Chen. He unleashed his full power and struck out at the latter. ¡°Get lost!¡± Qin Chen roared as he swung the Desolate Divine Halberd and unleashed the Eight Desolation Strikes. The attack was so powerful that it sent Supreme Sage Peng Zhen flying. However, just as he was about to leave the Roc Forest, he was blocked by Supreme Sage Peng Kong, who was wielding the Star-shattering Halberd. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong shouted coldly. He was in no hurry to attack. ¡°Fight!¡± Qin Chen was fearless as he wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd to meet the attack. He unleashed his full power as he continuously cast offensive Emperor supernormal knowledge at Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The surrounding void was shattered. ¡°To think you¡¯ve mastered so much offensive supernormal knowledge. No wonder Peng Zhen isn¡¯t your opponent. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re only at level 7 of the Sage King realm. Even if you use a secret technique to increase your strength, you¡¯re still not my opponent,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted arrogantly and continued to use the roc secret technique to block all of Qin Chen¡¯s attacks. At the moment when Qin Chen was taking a break in his attack, Supreme Sage Peng Kong suddenly burst forth with all his might and activated the Star-shattering Halberd in his hand. A terrifying aura was released as he charged toward Qin Chen in an instant. When Supreme Sage Peng Zhen saw this attack from afar, a smile appeared on his face. He had known Supreme Sage Peng Kong for many years and he knew very well that this attack was enough to take Qin Chen¡¯s life. However, at this moment of life and death, a smile suddenly appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. Both Supreme Sage Peng Zhen and Supreme Sage Peng Kong cried out in unison! Chapter 149 - The Recovery of the Ancient Emperor When he saw the smile on Qin Chen¡¯s face, Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s eyes narrowed. He had a bad feeling as he cursed! He was about to pull back and distance himself from Qin Chen, but it was too late. ¡°Explode!¡± Qin Chen shouted as his Sagely might surged, resonating with the Star-shattering Halberd in the hands of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The array patterns on the halberd glowed with a dazzling light. Finally, under Qin Chen¡¯s control, it exploded. ¡°Bang!¡± With a loud boom, the Star-shattering Halberd exploded in the hands of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The power of the Sage King supreme-grade weapon¡¯s explosion was comparable to the full-force attack of an eminent Supreme Sage. The entire Roc Forest was struck by an unparalleled destructive force, and countless towering trees and mountains collapsed. This was the effect of the explosion even under the protection of the array patterns. Supreme Sage Peng Kong, who had once dominated the primordial age, had his protective barrier torn apart and half of his arm blown off due to the close distance from the explosion. Blood flowed freely and his hair was disheveled. He was in a sorry state. This was a technique that Qin Chen had added to the halberd when he refined it. As long as the halberd was less than a hundred miles away from him, he could make it self-destruct at any time. If Supreme Sage Peng Kong had let him go as promised, he would not have destroyed the Star-shattering Halberd. Now that things had come to this, it was all the fault of the roc Imperial clan. Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s heart was bleeding as he looked at the half-destroyed halberd. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Qin Chen and roared, ¡°I want you dead!¡± As he finished speaking, he unleashed his full power, enveloping the Roc Forest. This caused the other members of the roc imperial clan to shiver in fear. They knew that this was the wrath of the Supreme Sage. Qin Chen knew that he would not be able to gain any advantage in someone else¡¯s territory. Thus, he lifted the Desolate Divine halberd and struck at the roc imperial clan¡¯s protective array, wanting to leave the Roc Forest first. However, what Qin Chen did not expect was that his strongest attack with the Desolate Divine Halberd did not even cause a ripple on the roc imperial clan¡¯s protective array. This made him frown. If he couldn¡¯t leave the Roc Forest, he would be in trouble even with an extreme emperor weapon. ¡°Human Elder King, don¡¯t waste your energy. Our array was left behind by the ancient Roc Emperor. Not even a Supreme Sage can break it. You will die today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong shouted coldly as he used powerful supernormal knowledge to heal his hand. Even so, his face was still pale. He had clearly suffered some serious injuries. ¡°Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword!¡± Qin Chen growled and ate a Sage King pill. He activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with all his might, and it burst with emperor¡¯s might. A dragon¡¯s roar seemed to be coming from the sword as it slashed out a towering sword energy at the array. ¡°Divine Roc Emperor Sword!¡± In the distance, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen erupted with power as the golden light from the Divine Roc Emperor Sword suppressed Heaven and Earth. Under his control, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword not only blocked the attack from the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword, but it also protected the entire Roc Forest from being destroyed by the emperor¡¯s might. ¡°Kill!¡± At the same time, Supreme Sage Peng Kong charged over. He was not holding any weapons, but even so, his combat power was still overwhelming. Even with the Desolate Divine Halberd and other trump cards, Qin Chen was gradually at a disadvantage. ¡°Thiry-three Heavens!¡± ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± ¡°Eight Desolation Strikes!¡± ¡°Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!¡± Qin Chen used all his trump cards and even the Chaotic Holy Body was activated. His entire body glowed with golden light while surrounded by a chaotic Sage path. He punched through the void and sent Supreme Sage Peng Kong flying. ¡°This is a divine body?¡± Ancient Sage Peng Kong was shocked. Even though he could not tell that Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, he was certain that Qin Chen¡¯s body was definitely divine. This made his killing intent even more resolute. ¡°Golden Roc Dao Fire!¡± Qin Chen went all out and a ball of golden flames wrapped around his divine body. The golden flames contained the great path of the Roc Emperor and were extremely terrifying. The moment they appeared, they sent a sense of danger into the hearts of the two Supreme Sages. Just as Supreme Sage Peng Kong made his move, the ancient golden tree in the distance started to shine with golden light. The virtual image of a golden-winged roc flew out from the ancient golden tree and covered the forest. A terrifying ancient Emperor¡¯s might struck and suppressed everyone in the forest. The Divine Roc Emperor Sword clanged as it restored itself, resonating with the primordial emperor¡¯s might emitted by the golden-winged roc. It emitted extreme might, and even the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was almost knocked out of Qin Chen¡¯s hand. ¡°Hahaha! the great path of the ancient Roc Emperor is recovering. Human Elder King, you will die today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen laughed heartily as if he could already see Qin Chen¡¯s fate. At this moment, a figure that suppressed all ages walked out from the virtual image of the golden-winged roc. He was surrounded by the great path, shaking the heavens and sinking thousands of paths. Qin Chen felt as if his body was about to split apart just from meeting the other party¡¯s eyes. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Chaotic Holy Body was the number one body in all of history and he had the protection of the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, just a glance would have been enough to take Qin Chen¡¯s life. ¡°Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword!¡± After eating a recovery Sage King pill, Qin Chen¡¯s aura returned to its peak, and all his injuries were recovered. He activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with all his might to protect himself from being suppressed by the ancient Roc Emperor¡¯s might again. ¡°Welcome, ancient Emperor!¡± The two Supreme Sages bowed respectfully. At the same time, the Roc Forest reverberated with the same voice as all rocs were kneeling and worshiping the ancient Roc Emperor. The great path had concealed the ancient Roc Emperor¡¯s appearance, so no one could see his face clearly. He looked at Qin Chen, causing the latter to feel as if he had suffered a heavy blow. If not for the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, Qin Chen would have died on the spot. Unfortunately, although the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was an extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t even unleash a tenth of its power. On the contrary, even though the ancient Roc Emperor was only a virtual image of the great path, he was still a figure that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient great emperors. In addition, with the constantly recovering Divine Roc Emperor Sword, Qin Chen¡¯s chances of survival today were very low. ¡°To think the Golden Roc Dao Fire that I left behind was obtained by the human race. The human race is indeed close to the great path!¡± The ancient Roc Emperor suddenly sighed. He did not attack Qin Chen. Instead, he disappeared from the world. At the same time, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword also stopped recovering and returned to its peaceful state. ¡°Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword!¡± Qin Chen shouted and took the opportunity to unleash his power. He activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with all his might and slashed out a towering sword energy, cutting a hole in the roc imperial clan¡¯s protective array. He then used the Moving Secret Technique to escape. The defensive array of the roc sovereign race was broken, and the power of the extreme emperor weapon and the ancient imperial weapon was thus sensed by the experts outside. In almost an instant, the experts of the ten thousand ancient races and the human race all appeared in the sky. ¡°The extreme emperor weapon and the ancient imperial weapon have been revived again? It seems like the roc imperial clan and the human Elder King are fighting again.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, I knew it! The Elder King would never forge a Sage King supreme-grade weapon for the ancient imperial clan.¡± ¡°Damn it, what did the human race¡¯s Elder King do? To think Supreme Sage Peng Kong had to activate the ancient imperial weapon and the race-protecting array to kill him!¡± ¡°The human Elder King managed to block the attacks of two Supreme Sages and the ancient imperial weapon and even broke the roc imperial clan¡¯s protective array. Is he really just a Sage King?¡± ¡°Our human Elder King¡¯s battle power is heaven-defying and can even fight the ancient Prince. We have nothing to fear of the ancient imperial clan!¡± Everyone was shocked, and the ten thousand ancient races had nothing to say. They didn¡¯t dare to clamor anymore. The name of the human race¡¯s Elder King had already been established! Chapter 150 - The Collision of Extreme Weapons In the sky above the Roc Forest, Qin Chen did not leave just yet. After all, once he left the Roc Forest, the roc imperial clan would be unable to do anything to him since he had the extreme emperor weapon in hand, so he naturally had to settle the matter. ¡°Peng Kong, Peng Zhen, the roc imperial clan has gone back on your word. I¡¯ve refined a Sage King supreme-grade weapon for you, but to think you revived the ancient imperial weapon in an attempt to kill me! Today, I¡¯ll cut down your roc imperial clan with my sword,¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, and a terrifying emperor¡¯s might surged out. All the living beings within a hundred million miles were terrified. The experts who were watching the battle from ten thousand miles away were all shocked. Without any hesitation, they retreated a hundred thousand miles away. Only then did they feel at ease. ¡°Human race Elder King, you¡¯re going against the ten thousand ancient races. If you don¡¯t stop, the ten thousand ancient races will definitely kill you in the future!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s expression changed drastically. He did not expect that the human Elder King would dare to use his full power to activate the extreme emperor weapon in the outside world. If this sword hit the Roc Forest, even if the roc imperial clan had an ancient imperial weapon and a defensive array, they would still suffer heavy losses from the emperor¡¯s might. Qin Chen didn¡¯t reply. He just snorted and continued to activate the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword. Back when he was in the Roc Forest, he was suppressed by the two Supreme Sages and the ancient imperial weapon, so he couldn¡¯t use his extreme emperor weapon at full power. Added to the effects of the roc imperial clan¡¯s race-protecting array, the Roc Forest was barely protected from being destroyed by the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. But now, the roc imperial clan¡¯s defensive array was damaged, and Qin Chen had already activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with all his might. Although he still could not unleash a tenth of the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s power, it was enough to destroy the Roc Forest! ¡°Slash!¡± Qin Chen shouted. Although he couldn¡¯t hold the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, it was operating on its own under Qin Chen¡¯s control. Sword intent gushed out, shattering the void. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword slashed vertically, and the sword energy was so strong that the ground was shaking. The sword energy fell from the sky like a heavenly tribulation. The people who were watching the battle from a million miles away gasped. Without any hesitation, they retreated as fast as they could. They exclaimed in their hearts, ¡°The human Elder King is going to destroy the world!¡± ¡°Human Elder King, my roc imperial clan isn¡¯t done with you!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong howled as he and Supreme Sage Peng Zhen revived the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. The Divine Roc Emperor Sword shone with golden light and the array runes of the great path hummed. They transformed into a huge golden feather that was 30000 feet long and covered the entire Roc Forest. ¡°Bang!¡± The entire Canglan Continent could hear the sound of an explosion. Everyone looked toward Western Heaven and cried out in surprise when they saw the void being shattered by an emperor¡¯s might. The power of the extreme weapon could really destroy the heavens and earth! In the end, the sword was still blocked by the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. However, a sword mark that was a hundred thousand miles long was still engraved into the ground. More than half of the Roc Forest was destroyed by the aftershock, and more than half of the million mountains collapsed. The shockwaves from the collision of the extreme weapons still managed to penetrate the roc¡¯s ancient array, killing many of the rocs who were below the King realm. In this clash of extreme ancient weapons, the roc imperial clan suffered heavy losses. Whoosh! At this moment, Qin Chen had already left the territory of the roc imperial clan. Although he had slashed out a shocking sword and destroyed more than half of the Roc Forest, he had also been affected and suffered a serious injury. If it had not been for the unparalleled power of the Chaotic Holy Body, he would have been internally injured. Through the void divine altar, Qin Chen was directly teleported to the Great Qin Dynasty. He went to the depths of the palace alone. ¡°17th brother, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s return, Qin Feng revealed an excited smile and personally welcomed Qin Chen into the main hall. ¡°17th brother, I saw the battle that broke out in Western Heaven. Are you injured?¡± Qin Feng asked, his expression revealing a trace of worry. Qin Chen shook his head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, 9th brother. I¡¯m not injured. Only the roc Imperial clan is unlucky this time. They¡¯ve been heavily injured by my sword!¡± ¡°Good! The ten thousand ancient races clamored at the human race the moment they appeared. After today, they¡¯ll have to consider the consequences of starting a war with the human race!¡± Qin Feng cheered loudly. When Qin Chen came to borrow the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, he knew that Qin Chen would not disappoint the human race. ¡°9th Brother, I¡¯m here to return the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword today!¡± Qin Chen took out the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. Even without activating it, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was still emitting a terrifying pressure that enveloped the hall. At the same time, an aura came from the depths of the palace. An old man walked in. The old man had a terrifying aura. It was the Supreme Sage of the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°Patriarch!¡± Qin Feng cupped his hands in greeting. Qin Chen also cupped his hands, but he did not call the old man his patriarch. Instead, he called him ¡°senior¡±. Although the elder¡¯s cultivation was much higher than Qin Chen¡¯s, he was still unable to see Qin Chen¡¯s true appearance, let alone know that he was the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°I saw the sword you slashed at the roc imperial clan. You¡¯ve really raised the prestige of the human race. I didn¡¯t lend you the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword for nothing. The future of the human race still lies in your hands!¡± The old man praised, revealing an expression of love for talent. ¡°Patriarch, the Minister has fallen out with the roc imperial clan this time. Will the roc imperial clan join forces with the other ancient imperial clans to take revenge on us in the future?¡± Qin Feng furrowed his brows and revealed a worried expression. Although the Great Qin Dynasty had an extreme emperor weapon and a Supreme Sage, if the roc imperial clan joined forces with the other ancient royal clans, the Great Qin Dynasty might not be able to resist them. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve already reached an agreement with the patriarchs of the other three immortal divine dynasties. The human race also has other imperial clans. They won¡¯t sit by and do nothing. As long as the ten thousand ancient races dare to make a move, the human race will fight!¡± The old man snorted, his eyes full of fighting spirit. He was a Supreme Sage that had been sealed and slumbering since Qin Shihuang¡¯s era. He had personally witnessed Qin Shihuang¡¯s unparalleled charm. As a follower of Qin Shihuang, he naturally had his pride. What did he have to fear from a mere ten thousand ancient races? Qin Chen also nodded. Although the ten thousand ancient races had dominated the entire primordial era, they were not in the same era now. The human race had dominated for several eras and produced many ancient emperors. Why would they fear the ten thousand ancient races now? The three of them chatted for a while before Qin Chen left the palace alone and teleported back to the Taiyi Holy Land through the void divine altar. ¡°The Elder King has returned, the Elder King has returned!¡± A disciple shouted. With that, Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and a group of elders came forward to welcome him. They bowed to Qin Chen and shouted in unison, ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± After returning to the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen felt like he had returned home. After greeting everyone, he entered the great emperor¡¯s palace to recuperate. However, the next day, Supreme Sage Peng Kong bellowed in rage from Western Heaven, ¡°Human Elder King, you have destroyed my race¡¯s land and killed my race¡¯s members. Today, I¡¯ll make you pay!¡± Chapter 151 - The Appearance of the Primordial Sage Race, A Mysterious Old Lunatic Appears 1 Supreme Sage Peng Kong appeared in the Southern Desolate Land with the ancient imperial weapon, heading toward the Taiyi Holy Land. He was prepared to use the weapon to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land, just like Qin Chen had done to their Roc Forest. Once the ancient imperial weapon was used, it could destroy heaven and earth. Even if the Taiyi Holy Land had the Sage King level formation set up by Qin Chen, they would definitely not be able to resist the attack of an ancient imperial weapon. Especially when this ancient imperial weapon was controlled by a primordial Supreme Sage of the imperial clan, which would make its attack many times more terrifying. This was definitely a threat that could cause the Taiyi Holy Land to be annihilated! ¡°Hmph! You went back on your word and now you¡¯re blaming the human race¡¯s Elder King?¡± A muffled groan was heard as a hidden imperial clan emerged and awakened their extreme emperor weapon. A Supreme Sage walked out to confront Supreme Sage Peng Kong, preventing him from going to the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°I¡¯d like to see who dares to stop me today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong bellowed in anger as he tried his best to revive the ancient imperial weapon. He wanted to fight the Supreme Sages of the human imperial clan. The emperor¡¯s might was vast and mighty, and winds gushed as clouds furled! ¡°Fellow Daoist, does the roc imperial clan really want to start a war with the human race? You¡¯d better think carefully whether or not you have the strength to do so!¡± The Supreme Sage from the hidden imperial clan shouted coldly. He was surrounded by endless laws of the great path, and his face was unclear, but his Sagely might was boundless. Furthermore, he also had an extreme monarch weapon and was unwilling to back down. The two extreme ancient weapons were both reviving and had yet to truly clash but were already causing a huge impact. The laws of heaven and earth within a radius of a million miles were in chaos, and all living beings were in despair. The collision of such ancient weapons could truly destroy the world. Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s eyes turned cold as he said in a deep voice, ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King has repeatedly offended the roc imperial clan. Not only did he destroy my land, he even killed my people. No one can stop me today!¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be able to go to the Taiyi Holy Land today,¡± The Supreme Sage from the human imperial clan snorted and unleashed his aura as he spoke. He stood in a standoff against Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was no easy person to deal with either. However, just as he was about to attack, the skies above the Roc Forest in Western Heaven were suddenly enveloped by a terrifying emperor¡¯s might. Another extreme emperor weapon appeared in the sky, and it was so powerful that it even broke through the roc imperial clan¡¯s defensive formation. If it wasn¡¯t that the person reviving the extreme emperor weapon was holding back, the entire Roc Forest and the roc imperial clan would have been annihilated! The world was shocked and the ten thousand races were shaken. Yet another human Supreme Sage had appeared and threatened the roc imperial clan with his extreme emperor weapon! ¡°Detestable! Do you humans think that the ten thousand ancient races have no one?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared in anger. He did not expect the human race to revive two extreme emperor weapons in succession. ¡°We humans have no intention of starting a war, but we won¡¯t allow anyone to bully us!¡± The Supreme Sage from the human imperial clan replied coldly, expressing his stance. Now, everyone could see that the human race was clearly trying to protect their Elder King. They were even willing to send out two primordial Supreme Sages to use extreme ancient weapons and intimidate the roc imperial clan. Two extreme ancient weapons! If they were to fight, even Supreme Sage Peng Kong would die. In fact, the entire roc imperial clan might even be exterminated. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was unwilling to give up. However, at this moment, a voice rang out from the depths of the East Sea, ¡°Peng Kong, go back first. We¡¯ll settle this matter at the Myriad Race Gathering.¡± The voice was very old, mixed with the might of the great path. Its words were like a divine decree that no one could resist. As soon as the voice came out, the whole world fell silent. Countless eyes turned to the East Sea at the same time. That was the easternmost part of the East Land, adjacent to the boundless ocean, also known as the East Sea. ¡°This voice, this power¡­ Could it be the legendary primordial sage race?¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that back when the primordial era was near its end and Heaven and Earth¡¯s thousand paths sunk, the primordial sage race sealed themselves in the East Sea. After that, the ten thousand ancient races appeared, and even the nine ancient imperial clans were revived one after another. However, there has been no news of the primordial sage race. It seems that now, they finally can¡¯t hold back anymore and have decided to officially appear?¡± ¡°Hahaha, I didn¡¯t expect the primordial sage race to be revived. How much longer can the human race survive?¡± ¡°The appearance of the primordial sage race means the rise of the ten thousand ancient races. The human race will be destroyed!¡± ¡°What human Elder King? What human Supreme Sage? In the eyes of the primordial sage race, they are nothing!¡± The ten thousand ancient races had all gone mad, laughing and celebrating. They were celebrating the birth of the primordial sage race and the arrival of the era of the ten thousand ancient races. At the border of the Southern Desolate Land, an ancient giant with his head in the sky shouted towards the direction of the East Sea, ¡°Congratulations on the revival of the primordial sage race!¡± In the same Southern Desolate Land, an ape holding a divine iron rod was laughing and shouting, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we last met, everyone from the primordial sage race!¡± From the direction of the Northern Castle, a phoenix cry came. A chaotic demon spawn of a phoenix that blotted out the sky roared at the East Sea, ¡°Congratulations on the revival of the primordial sage race!¡± An eight-shedding divine silkworm, which had been frozen, broke out of the ice and transformed into a child. Then, it cupped its hands at the East Sea and said, ¡°Congratulations on the revival of the primordial sage race!¡± The Central Province was not peaceful either. A great demon appeared and laughed in the direction of the East Sea, ¡°Primordial sage race, I¡¯ve been waiting for you!¡± ¡­ The Supreme Sages of the eight imperial clans all appeared, and the human race of the Canglan Continent panicked. Although they had always known that the ancient imperial clans must have slumbering primordial Supreme Sages, they had never seen any related news. They thought that the other parties were still in deep sleep. But now, it was obvious that they had long been revived. Other than the eight primordial Supreme Sages, there was also the roc imperial clan and the primordial sage race, which meant that there were at least ten Supreme Sages among the ten thousand ancient races that they knew of. On the other hand, the human race had only produced three Supreme Sages so far. The gap between them was simply too big. Chapter 152 - The Appearance of the Primordial Sage Race, A Mysterious Old Lunatic Appears 2 Once the war started, it would be a crushing defeat for the human race. ¡°Congratulations to the primordial sage race. The roc imperial clan is willing to let the human Elder King off for the time being,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong cupped his hands in the direction of the East Sea and agreed without any hesitation. This was because the one who spoke was a Supreme Sage from the primordial sage race! One had to know that during the primordial age, thousands of races stood tall, including the dragon race, the roc imperial clan, the battle sage ape race, and many other unrivaled powerful races. However, since ancient times, the primordial sage race had been undoubtfully qualified to be ranked as the most powerful race. They had never fallen out of the top three and had even competed with the primordial dragon race for the throne of the most powerful race several times. It was said that the primordial sage race was a race from the immortal world. The members of the race were Kings from birth. Even if they did not cultivate, they could become Bahuang Venerables when they reached adulthood. The primordial sage race was also the only race that had two primordial emperors. Both heavenly sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang were the strongest emperors in history. This was especially so for Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng, who was respected as a heavenly sovereign. He was revered by all races and had dominated through the ages. Many ancient emperors in the primordial age respected this supreme heavenly sovereign, thinking that he was the number one throughout the ages and could be compared to Supreme Emperor Huang of the heaven burial era. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the foundation of the primordial sage race was! Now that the race had been revived and the Supreme Sage had spoken, even Supreme Sage Peng Kong from the roc imperial clan had to show the other party some respect and agree to leave. ¡°Humans, the roc imperial clan has already backed down, so shouldn¡¯t you guys do the same?¡± The Supreme Sage of the primordial sage race said. The two human Supreme Sages furrowed their brows and looked at each other across the vast land. In the end, they put their extreme emperor weapons away and did not make things difficult for the roc imperial clan and Supreme Sage Peng Kong. ¡°Human, someone from my race will be attending the Myriad Race Gathering!¡± The Supreme Sage of the primordial sage race left behind these words and retracted his Supreme Sage aura. Everything returned to normal as if it had never happened. ¡°The primordial sage race will also participate in the Myriad Races Gathering? The future of the human race is bleak!¡± ¡°I thought that the primordial sage race had already disappeared over time. I didn¡¯t expect that they would still have members who have sealed themselves up until now!¡± ¡°There are two primordial emperors and one heavenly sovereign in that race. They¡¯re comparable to the heavenly emperor, and even the human imperial clans can¡¯t compare! The human race¡¯s situation in the upcoming Myriad Race Gathering is worrying.¡± ¡°If the Supreme Sage of the primordial sage race wants to help the roc imperial clan settle the score during the Myriad Races Gathering, the Elder King will be in danger. I¡¯m afraid that the Great Qin Dynasty will be implicated as well.¡± Countless human cultivators became passive and helpless. This was because the primordial sage race was too powerful. Just the fact that they had two sovereigns in one race was enough for them to compete with any imperial clan. Moreover, the ancient imperial clans had so many Supreme Sages. The human race was far inferior compared to them. ¡°Elder King of the human race, the roc imperial clan will settle the score with you at the Myriad Race Gathering!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted coldly and left after saying that. After the incident, the few imperial clans of the human race and the immortal divine dynasties met in secret to discuss the matters of the Myriad Race Gathering. In the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen secluded himself in the Supreme emperor¡¯s palace for ten days before he completely recovered. After coming out of seclusion and learning that the primordial sage race had appeared and was preparing to settle the score with him at the Myriad Race Gathering, Qin Chen could not help but frown. He naturally knew of the primordial sage race. With his current cultivation and strength, he was probably far from being their opponent. Even if he could borrow the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword again, the primordial sage race probably had many ways to kill him. Qin Chen would not sit still and wait for death. He needed to become stronger or have more trump cards. As such, he took out the five natal golden feathers he had obtained from the roc imperial clan as well as the fist-sized eternal night stone essence, preparing to refine the legendary Five-feathers Fan that could destroy the heavens and earth! The Taiyi Holy Land had become hot these days. The closer one was to Qin Chen, the higher the temperature. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, apart from Lord Dragon and Holy Lord Ling Ran, no one could get within a thousand feet of Qin Chen. Qin Chen used the Golden Roc Dao Fire as a cauldron to melt the eternal night stone essence. However, the eternal night stone essence was the most precious immortal material and the hardest thing in the world. Even though the Golden Roc Dao Fire had the ancient Roc Emperor¡¯s great path, it could not melt the eternal night stone essence in a short time. After all, the Golden Roc Dao Fire that Qin Chen had obtained through checking in at the Roc Forest was not the original emperor¡¯s flame. It was not something that he could control at the moment. There was only one wisp of the original emperor¡¯s flame in his ball of Golden Roc Dao Fire. However, Qin Chen was not in a hurry. He had already prepared himself for a long refining process. He sat cross-legged on the futon like an ascetic monk and patiently kept the Golden Roc Dao Fire burning, continuing to smelt the eternal night rock essence. Seven days later, the eternal night rock essence was melted into a ball of liquid under the Golden Roc Dao Fire. Qin Chen took out the five natal golden feathers one after another. These natal golden feathers were of different realms, so they could only be refined separately. Qin Chen grunted and summoned three more balls of Golden Roc Dao Fire. The fire turned into a furnace, refining the natal golden feathers of the Supreme Sage level and Sage King level respectively. The reason why the Five-feathers Fan¡¯s existence was a legend was not only because the natal golden feathers of chaotic demonic birds were very rare, but also because the weapon was extremely difficult to refine. Not only did it require a flame that was comparable to the top ten mystical flames, but it also required the refiner to have supreme refining techniques. Even the most powerful refiners in the primordial era couldn¡¯t meet the requirements, so the Five-feathers Fan became a legend. However, Qin Chen was very confident in refining the weapon. After all, whether it was his Golden Roc Dao Fire or the Heaven-Earth Weapon Refining Scroll that he had practiced, they both met the requirements to refine the Five-feathers Fan. Therefore, he was determined to succeed. Chapter 153 - The Appearance of the Primordial Sage Race, A Mysterious Old Lunatic Appears 3 Another seven days passed. A golden folding fan floated in the air with Sage runes on it. The vague shadows of five rocs could be seen, exuding a pressure that could make even a Supreme Sage¡¯s expression change. Qin Chen took out a jade bottle, which contained a drop of the ancient Roc Emperor¡¯s blood essence before he proved his path. Although it was not the blood of a primordial Emperor, its quality was not much different. One could even see Emperor runes flowing within the blood essence. ¡°Melt!¡± Qin Chen poured out the blood essence and used the Golden Roc Dao Fire to fuse it into the Five-feathers Fan. A shadow of a golden-winged roc rushed out of the fan and swallowed the other five shadows. It released a terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°What level of weapon is the Elder King making? To think it can release such pressure! Could it be a Supreme Sage weapon?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that even a Supreme Sage weapon can¡¯t have such terrifying pressure. The Elder King must be forging a weapon that¡¯s even more powerful than a Supreme Sage weapon.¡± ¡°A weapon that¡¯s even more powerful than a Supreme Sage weapon¡­ Could it be a divine weapon used by the Shifang Gods?¡± ¡°In the Dharma-ending age now, the Shifang Gods have become a legend. No matter how powerful the Elder King is, he can¡¯t possibly forge a divine weapon!¡± Everyone from the Taiyi Holy Land was shocked by the pressure of the Five-feathers Fan. Some even claimed that the Elder King had refined a divine weapon, though not many believed it. After all, after the primordial age, even Sages were rare, let alone those in the legendary Shifang realm. That realm long surpassed the three levels of Jiutian Sages and was a whole new realm, known as the divine realm. The experts of the Shifang realm were called gods, so their weapons were naturally divine weapons! There was an ancient legend that after the primordial era, there were no gods in the world. On one hand, the world gradually progressed into the Dharma-ending Age where it was difficult for cultivators to survive. On the other hand, the Supreme Sages and experts above that realm had all followed the ancient Emperors to the unknown. In this world, only a handful of Supreme Sages had sealed themselves and remained in slumber. At this time, a muffled thunder came from the sky. Dark clouds covered the sky of the Taiyi Holy Land in an instant, and a terrifying aura of war came out. Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land became restless. Such a terrifying weapon tribulation was comparable to the Supreme Sage¡¯s heavenly tribulation. Once it fell, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were also filled with shock. He had not expected the weapon tribulation of the Five-feathers Fan to be so terrifying. Thus, he grabbed the Five-feathers Fan, broke through the void, and flew toward the endless starry sky. In outer space, Qin Chen¡¯s figure had just appeared when the divine lightning of the weapon tribulation struck him, causing his hair to stand. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted and used all kinds of Emperor techniques to shatter the divine lightning bolts one after another. In the end, he even activated his Chaotic Holy Body and charged into the thunderclouds. The weapon tribulation was no weaker than the Supreme Sage¡¯s heavenly tribulation and attracted many experts. ¡°What kind of weapon did the human race¡¯s Elder King make this time? The weapon tribulation is so terrifying! Could it be a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon?¡± ¡°Even the weapon tribulation of a Supreme Sage weapon isn¡¯t this terrifying. The weapon forged by the human race¡¯s Elder King is definitely extraordinary!¡± ¡°He has such talent in refining weapons. How good would it be if he was a member of the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°After the Myriad Race Gathering, the human race¡¯s Elder King will definitely submit!¡± The ten thousand ancient races were also shocked by the scene in outer space and couldn¡¯t help but feel envious that the human race had a refining genius like the Elder King. Although the weapon tribulation was powerful, it only lasted for half a day. Under Qin Chen¡¯s invincible combat power, he successfully passed the weapon tribulation and the Five-feathers Fan was successfully refined. However, at this moment, an old man with messy hair suddenly appeared in the depths of the starry sky. The old man did not give off any aura, but he brought Qin Chen inexplicable pressure. ¡°The Five-feathers Fan!¡± The old man murmured. He took a step forward and came to Qin Chen¡¯s side. Qin Chen was shocked. Just as he was about to retreat, his body was suppressed by the great path around him. And he, who had invincible combat power, could not move at all. ¡°Senior! If you like this Five-feathers Fan, I can give it to you!¡± Qin Chen was very decisive. Without any hesitation, he threw out the fan in his hand. The old man caught the fan and caressed it with his wrinkled palm. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes as he said, ¡°Dead, they¡¯re all dead!¡± Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Holy Body and broke free from the surrounding paths. Without any hesitation, he fleed, not daring to stay with this old man for another moment. However, he had just taken a step when the old man suddenly appeared in front of him again while crying, ¡°Dead, they¡¯re all dead, they¡¯re all dead!¡± Such a creepy old man gave Qin Chen a shock. He turned around and flew toward Canglan Continent with all his might, but the old man followed closely behind him and repeated the same sentence. Using the Moving Secret Technique, Qin Chen¡¯s figure turned into a beam of light and passed through the void. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on a mountain in the Southern Desolate Lands. However, before he could celebrate his successful escape, the old man¡¯s voice rang in his ears again, ¡°Dead, they¡¯re all dead, they¡¯re all dead!¡± Chapter 154 - Theyre All Dead Qin Chen¡¯s hair stood on end. This old man was too creepy. He was sure that the other party¡¯s cultivation was far above his own. After all, the pressure that this old man gave him was even greater than Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s. ¡°Senior, I¡¯ve already given you the Five-feathers Fan. What do you want?¡± Qin Chen asked. The old man hesitated for a moment, then repeated the same sentence, ¡°Dead, all dead, they are all dead!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s face was filled with question marks. Could this old man be a lunatic who had lost his mind? He had no choice but to ignore the old man and fly toward the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± When Qin Chen returned to the Taiyi Main Hall, many people greeted him along the way. However, he found it strange that these people seemed to not see the old man and did not mention the latter at all. ¡°Elder King, the time for the Myriad Race Gathering has been set. It¡¯s in two months. Are you going?¡± Ling Ran came forward and asked. Qin Chen could not help but ask, ¡°Can¡¯t you see the senior beside me?¡± ¡°A senior?¡± Ling Ran exclaimed. A person who could be addressed as a ¡°senior¡± by the Elder King must be an expert in the Supreme Sage realm. However, she followed Qin Chen¡¯s gaze and saw nothing. Thus, she shook her head and said, ¡°Elder King, I only see you. I don¡¯t see the senior you¡¯re talking about.¡± Qin Chen frowned and activated his Chaotic Holy Body. Two rays of golden light shot out from his eyes and he discovered to his shock that the old man was surrounded by tens of thousands of paths. As a result, even a Supreme Sage might not be able to discover the old man, let alone Ling Ran, who was a Venerable. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s shocked expression, Ling Ran asked curiously, ¡°Elder King, is there something beside you?¡± Qin Chen clicked his tongue and hesitated for a moment. He decided not to tell her so as not to cause unnecessary panic. So, he shook his head and replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll go to the Myriad Races Gathering, but don¡¯t tell the outside world about this yet.¡± ¡°Yes, Elder King!¡± Ling Ran nodded and left immediately. Two days later! ¡°Dead, they¡¯re all dead, they¡¯re all dead! Dead, they¡¯re all dead, they¡¯re all dead!¡± The crazy old man had been repeating this sentence for the past two days. At the same time, Qin Chen also realized that he was the only one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land who could see and hear the old man. The whole matter was so creepy that Qin Chen could feel his scalp tingling. In the past two days, he had thought of many ways. He had even tried using his Emperor-level supernormal knowledge to make a move against the crazy old man. However, all of his attacks were blocked by the myriad paths around the crazy old man, and the target was not injured at all. The crazy old man¡¯s harassment lasted day and night. Qin Chen finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and asked, ¡°Senior, who died? Who are they? Who died? If they were dead, who were they? Who are they?¡± The crazy old man clutched his head and roared. An aura dozens of times more terrifying than a Supreme Sage¡¯s aura struck, sending Qin Chen flying. The entire Taiyi Holy Land was shaking. ¡°What¡¯s going on? An earthquake?¡± ¡°It seems to be coming from the Elder King¡¯s hall. Could it be that the Elder King is about to break through?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a breakthrough. A breakthrough wouldn¡¯t cause such a commotion. Maybe it¡¯s the commotion caused by Elder King¡¯s weapon refinement.¡± ¡°Why would there be such a big commotion when refining a weapon? This isn¡¯t a weapon tribulation!¡± The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were all confused. They did not know what had happened. Ling Ran also rushed over with a group of elders. However, when they arrived outside the main hall, they felt terrifying pressure. All of them stopped, and no one dared to go forward. In the main hall, Qin Chen stood at the side with his hair standing on end. The crazy old man was definitely the most terrifying person he had ever met. He stood far away and shouted, ¡°Senior, what exactly do you want?¡± The crazy old man turned around and appeared before Qin Chen like a ghost. He asked, ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°Senior, how would I know who they are? You have to ask yourself!¡± Qin Chen let out a dry cough and forced a smile on his face. He took two steps back, once again increasing the distance between him and the crazy old man. ¡°Who are they? Who are they?¡± The crazy old man mumbled. He retracted the terrifying pressure from his body and repeated this sentence again and again. Seeing that the crazy old man had returned to ¡°normal¡±, Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Ling Ran¡¯s voice came from outside the door, ¡°Elder King, are you alright? Do you need our help?¡± Hearing Ling Ran¡¯s words, Qin Chen shouted, ¡°I¡¯m fine. You guys can go and do what you need to do!¡± After receiving a reply, Ling Ran and the others left. Qin Chen continued his closed-door cultivation. Although the crazy old man was still standing by his side and repeating the same words, Qin Chen chose to ignore the other party after the previous lesson. He did not dare to provoke him again. Two months passed, and Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation rose to level 8 of the Sage King realm with the help of pills and the various rewards he had received from checking in. However, the Five-feathers Fan that he had refined was still in the hands of the crazy old man. It could be said that he had worked for nothing. On this day, the experts of the human race and the ten thousand ancient races all rushed to Haihuang City in the East Sea, preparing to witness the Myriad Race Gathering. A golden-winged roc flew over and transformed into a human. It landed on the top of Haihuang City and shouted, ¡°Elder King of the human race, the roc imperial clan has come to settle the score!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s voice reverberated throughout the entire Haihuang City. However, there was still no sign of the human Elder King. This caused many to sigh. ¡°Could it be that the human race¡¯s Elder King is scared and doesn¡¯t dare to come?¡± ¡°Today, a Lord of the primordial sage race will seek him out to settle the score. Naturally, he would not dare to come.¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s invincible? Isn¡¯t he now a turtle hiding in its shell that doesn¡¯t dare to show his face?¡± After not getting a reply for a long time, Supreme Sage Peng Kong lost his patience and shouted, ¡°Elder King of the human race, if you don¡¯t come out today, I will slaughter the entire Haihuang City.¡± With that, the aura of a Supreme Sage gushed out and enveloped the entire Haihuang City. The residents of the city were all terrified. Some of the weaker ones even knelt and begged for their lives. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± A voice came from the horizon. Seven figures stepped into the void and arrived at the top of Haihuang City¡¯s city wall. Their auras were extremely terrifying. Five of them were Supreme Sages while the other two were level 9 Sage Kings. ¡°The human race actually has five Supreme Sages! Weren¡¯t there only three of them before?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal with five Supreme Sages? The ten thousand ancient races already have more than ten Supreme Sages that are known. The human race is still far from that!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. If the human race only has this much power, they won¡¯t have any say in the Myriad Race Gathering.¡± ¡°In this Myriad Race Gathering, the ten thousand ancient races will wash away our past humiliation and rule this land once more.¡± Seeing the seven top-class human experts appear, the ten thousand ancient races weren¡¯t afraid at all. Instead, they used all sorts of provocative words to enrage the seven human experts, causing them to explode with heaven-shaking Sagely might! Chapter 155 - The Myriad Race Gathering ¡°How arrogant! To think you belittle the human race as such!¡± The human imperial clan¡¯s Supreme Sage who had blocked Supreme Sage Peng Kong back in the Southern Desolate Land with his emperor weapon spat coldly. His body exploded with boundless Sagely might. If not for some worries, he would have killed these arrogant beings. ¡°Tsk, tsk, the ten thousand ancient races naturally don¡¯t put the mere human race in our eyes!¡± A shout rang out as a middle-aged man with a face full of black tattoos stepped out of the void. He was a Supreme Sage from the skyfall race, one of the ancient imperial clans. At the same time, a dragon-shaped creature with a lizard¡¯s body and bat¡¯s wings flew over. It was the Supreme Sage of the evil divine dragon race. ¡°Swish!¡± The cry of a phoenix was heard. The Supreme Sage of the primordial phoenix race had arrived. The flaming phoenix circled the sky before turning into a beautiful woman in a red dress, standing in the void above Haihuang City. The primordial phoenix and evil divine dragon were not true dragons or phoenixes. They were chaotic demon spawns from the primordial era. The true dragon race was a demon race, which was Lord Dragon¡¯s race. Currently, they were still self-sealed in Demon Valley. Three Supreme Sages of the ancient imperial clans arrived and stood opposite the seven humans. Both sides were at daggers drawn, and their Sagely mights were terrifying. Any disagreement and a fight would ensue. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s so lively! So many people have come!¡± An ape lazily lying on a cloud flew over, smiling at the crowd. The ape was wearing purple-gold armor, and its eyes were shining with golden light. It was the battle sage ape race that had been invincible back in the primordial age. The battle sage ape was the race that treated the human race the best out of the ten thousand ancient races. It was also the race with the least members out of the ancient imperial clans. The battle sage ape¡¯s bloodline was extremely powerful, comparable to the true dragons and phoenixes. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for them to reproduce. Even at its peak, there were no more than twenty apes in the race. That being said, the battle sage ape race¡¯s combat strength was definitely at the top among the ten thousand ancient races. Once such an ape reached adulthood, they would have the strength to become a God. As such, even members of the primordial sage race didn¡¯t dare to provoke them. This battle sage ape was obviously not an adult yet since it only had the strength of a Supreme Sage. Otherwise, with just a trace of its aura, everyone present would have exploded and died. At the same time, the ground suddenly trembled. A giant with his head in the clouds walked over. He could cross tens of thousands of miles with a single step, and he could destroy a city with a single foot. The Supreme Sage of the giant race had arrived. ¡°Haha, I¡¯m here too!¡± A child¡¯s laughter was heard. With that, a child shining with golden light flew over. The child was less than one meter tall, but his aura was terrifying. Among all the people present, only the battle sage ape could suppress him. The child was from the famous divine silkworm race of the ten thousand ancient races. The bloodline of the divine silkworm race was also incredibly precious. In one lifetime, each silkworm could morph thirteen times. With each morphing, not only could the silkworm live for one more lifetime, but it would also grow. As it grew, it would obtain even greater power, which allowed the silkworms to gain a reputation in the primordial era. Legend had it that the Divine Silkworm Emperor, who had killed a primordial emperor, was a thirteen-shedding divine silkworm. Although the child¡¯s original form was only an eight-shedding divine silkworm, as he grew up and morphed five more times, he would obtain a cultivation level second only to the primordial emperor. The divine silkworm race was thus a race that was as famous as the battle sage apes. ¡°Wu Tian of the ancient shaman race greets everyone!¡± An old man wearing a black cloak and holding a walking stick appeared. His entire body was surrounded by black gas. The old man¡¯s face was full of wrinkles and he was short. He looked like an old man who was about to die. Although he looked like this, no one dared to look down on him. It should be known that the ancient shaman race was the evilest race among the ten thousand ancient races. It was said that they could predict the future and even predict who would be the one to attain the path of the era. Moreover, they had sorcery that was enough to threaten primordial emperors. Even the people of the primordial sage race were not willing to provoke them. At this time, the sky suddenly turned dark and was filled with demonic energy, A great demon walked out from the clouds and shouted in the direction of the East Sea, ¡°Does anyone from the primordial sage race dare to fight me?¡± The humans were all stunned, while the eyes of the ten thousand ancient races were filled with shock. This was because this demon who had dared to challenge the primordial sage race was from the demon god race, a race that had struck fear into the hearts of the ten thousand ancient races. In the entire primordial era, the demon god race was one of the strongest races that dared to challenge the primordial sage race. The demon god race¡¯s imperial ancestor, Heaven Sovereign Demon God, dared to call himself a heavenly emperor and was dominant for an entire era. From this, one could see that he was definitely one of the top ancient emperors among the primordial emperors. Legend had it that after Heaven Sovereign Demon God had proven his path, he had once charged into the ancestral land of the primordial sage race and killed more than half of their people, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Even the ancient imperial weapon left behind by the primordial Sage Emperor had been forced to revive, and cracks had been left on it. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the primordial sage race had produced two primordial emperors and an unparalleled heavenly emperor, who was respected by all races and had left behind many imperial foundations to resist the massacre of Heaven Sovereign Demon God, the primordial sage race would have been exterminated in the primordial era. Due to this, the two races had clashed countless times during the primordial era, with victories and defeats. However, in terms of strength, the primordial sage race was still much stronger. Other than the era of Heaven Sovereign Demon God, the demon god race had been suppressed by the primordial sage race in almost every era. Even so, the demon god race still fought with the primordial sage race for the entire primordial era, leaving an illustrious name in the hearts of the ten thousand ancient races. Even now, the ten thousand ancient races were still apprehensive when they heard of the race. ¡°Demon god race, today is the Myriad Race Gathering. I advise you to know your place. Otherwise, your race will never be able to appear in this era!¡± An old voice came. An old man rode the tens of thousands of paths in the sky. His body emitted waves of path rhythms, purifying all the demonic energy in the sky and making the sky bright again. ¡°Greetings, senior of the primordial sage race!¡± The Supreme Sages of the giant race, primordial phoenix race, evil divine dragon race, skyfall race, roc race, and ancient shaman race all greeted the Supreme Sage elder in unison. This was because this senior of the primordial sage race was much more senior than the other Supreme Sages of the ancient imperial clans. Therefore, he was addressed as a senior. The eight-shedding divine silkworm was an expert that had lived for eight lives. Its seniority was not lower than that of the primordial elder, so it naturally would not greet him with such a respecting attitude. Revealing an innocent smile, he cupped his hands at the primordial sage race¡¯s elder, ¡°Greetings, fellow Daoist!¡± The battle sage ape stayed lying on the cloud. He laughed, ¡°To think the one from the primordial sage race is actually an old man. Could it be that the sons of the Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and the Sage Emperor Tai Yang have not been unsealed?¡± ¡°The sons of the Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and the Sage Emperor Tai Yang!¡± Everyone was shocked. Although there had been news that the sons of primordial emperors had sealed themselves to this era, who would have thought that they would be the sons of the two most powerful primordial emperors in the legends? The expressions of the humans darkened as despair appeared on their faces. If what the battle sage ape said was true, how could the human race compete with the ten thousand ancient races in this era? On the other hand, the ten thousand ancient races were rejoicing. After all, being able to witness the sons of two of the most powerful ancient emperors proving their path was not something that just anyone could see. The old man from the primordial sage race smiled and actually bowed to the battle sage ape. He smiled and said, ¡°Prince Zhan, the great path of heaven and earth has yet to fully recover, and the two princes of my race are still sealing themselves. Speaking of which, isn¡¯t Your Highness Prince Zhan revived a little too early?¡± Chapter 156 - The Three Ancient Princes ¡°Prince Zhan? Could it be that this battle sage ape is Emperor Dou Zhan¡¯s son?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even the Lord of the primordial sage race has bowed. Other than Prince Zhan, who else can receive such treatment?¡± ¡°The two sons of the primordial sage race¡¯s ancient emperors plus Prince Zhan¡­ To think the ten thousand ancient races have three ancient emperors¡¯ sons revived in this era. With this, a primordial emperor comparable to the primordial heavenly sovereigns and sage emperors will definitely appear!¡± ¡°The war of the great era is a rare sight even in centuries. It¡¯s our great fortune to be able to witness it!¡± The people of the ten thousand ancient races were all going crazy, celebrating that they could be born into such a great era and that they could witness the three ancient princes fight for supremacy. The humans couldn¡¯t even lift their heads. Their faces were filled with despair. With the birth of the sons of three ancient emperors, how were they going to fight against the ten thousand ancient races? What would happen to the human race¡¯s survival? Someone sighed, ¡°The ten thousand ancient races have three ancient emperors¡¯ sons, yet the human race doesn¡¯t even have a self-proclaimed Prince. How are we going to compete with them?¡± Someone said worriedly, ¡°Now that the ten thousand ancient races have so many experts, and there¡¯s even Prince Zhan among them, the human race is in danger during this Myriad Race Gathering!¡± However, some humans were still confident and shouted, ¡°The human race has the Elder King who¡¯s invincible. He can compete with Supreme Sages while still only being in the Sage King realm. Why can¡¯t he compete with the ancient princes?¡± When someone from the ten thousand ancient races heard this, he laughed sarcastically, ¡°Today, the Lord of the primordial sage race and Supreme Sage Peng Kong will seek revenge on the human Elder King. How long can he live? Your arrogant words are truly laughable.¡± Looking at the two sides that were about to start fighting, Prince Zhan, the battle sage ape, stood up and said, ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s begin the Myriad Race Gathering!¡± ¡°Prince Zhan! The human Elder King isn¡¯t here yet!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong said, his eyes filled with hatred. The primordial sage race¡¯s elder cleared his throat and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this after the Myriad Race Gathering!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the old man from the primordial sage race released a monstrous Sagely might. Tens of thousands of rays of light shot up in Haihuang City. In just a few breaths, all the living beings in the city were teleported away, Such means shocked all the human experts. After entering a divine hall, the Supreme Sages of the ancient races and the seven humans took their seats. The Myriad Races Gathering had officially begun. ¡°The purpose of this Myriad Races Gathering is to discuss the relationship between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind,¡± The old man from the primordial sage race said with a smile. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was the first to speak. He glared at the seven humans and said, ¡°We, the roc imperial clan, only have one condition, and that is for you to hand over the human Elder King!¡± ¡°The giant race wants the entire Southern Desolate Land! The humans there must leave the Southern Desolate Land within seven days,¡± The Supreme Sage of the giant race immediately stated his conditions. The skyfall race¡¯s Supreme Sage snickered, ¡°My race likes to eat humans. All you humans have to do is promise to give my people a million humans every month.¡± Hearing their words, the seven human cultivators were all furious. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the other party had the advantage in numbers, they would have already taken out their emperor weapons and started fighting. ¡°Impossible!¡± The patriarch of the Great Qin Dynasty snorted. His name was Qin Tian, and he was a follower of Qin Shihuang. He had his pride, and naturally, he would not agree to such humiliating conditions. The patriarch of the Nangong family said coldly as well, ¡°After such a long time, the human race is no longer the same as before. Even if we are exterminated, we will not be humiliated!¡± Seeing that the two of them dared to reject him, the skyfall race¡¯s Supreme Sage sneered, ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, we¡¯ll fight until you do. But don¡¯t worry, the human race won¡¯t be exterminated. When the time comes, I¡¯ll rear your entire race and turn you into food, just like pigs and dogs!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s start a war. The human race will annihilate your skyfall race!¡± Everyone heard a shout. They looked up at the sky only to see the human Elder King, who was holding a halberd. He stepped on colorful clouds and swung his halberd, breaking the barrier of Haihuang City and entering the divine hall. ¡°The Elder King is here! I knew he would come!¡± ¡°The Elder King is right. Let¡¯s start a war. Even if our race will be annihilated, we will annihilate the skyfall race first.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, we will go to war with the skyfall race! We will exterminate them!¡± ¡°Start the battle! Start the war!¡± All the humans were enraged. They raised their heads and roared together. The momentum was so terrifying that even the skyfall race¡¯s Supreme Sage frowned. After all, if the human race united and attacked the skyfall race, even if the skyfall race was an ancient imperial clan, they would still be exterminated. ¡°I¡¯m sorry everyone, the void divine altar was broken, so I¡¯m late,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands at the seven humans. In fact, he had long been prepared to set off. However, due to the crazy old man, the moment he activated the void divine altar, he would be crushed by the myriad paths around the crazy old man. Therefore, he could only fly all the way from the Southern Desolate Land to the East Sea, which was why he was late. ¡°You¡¯re not late, not at all. You¡¯re just on time!¡± The ancestor of the Nangong family chuckled. With the Elder King around, they had more confidence in this Myriad Races Gathering. ¡°Human Elder King, I didn¡¯t expect you to still dare to come. I¡¯ll kill you today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared and unleashed his full power. His Sagely might was terrifying as he tried to kill the human Elder King. Qin Chen was fearless as he activated the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand. The weapon¡¯s emperor¡¯s might enveloped Haihuang City as he pointed the halberd at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and snorted, ¡°You can try!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race bellowed and a terrifying aura that far exceeded that of ordinary Supreme Sages surged out. At the same time, he forced Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Peng Kong back, ¡°You can find a place to settle your personal grudges after this.¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong clenched his fists. He did not dare to disobey the elder of the primordial sage race. As such, he suppressed his anger and sat down. Qin Chen was also shocked by the Supreme Sage elder¡¯s cultivation. He put away the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand and took out a wooden chair to sit down. The wooden chair was quite mystical. It resonated with the myriad paths in the heavens and emitted divine radiance. ¡°What kind of material is the human Elder King¡¯s wooden chair made of? Why do I feel a hint of pressure?¡± ¡°To think there¡¯s a trace of emperor¡¯s might in the wooden chair. Could it be an emperor weapon?¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor once found the Bodhi ancient tree and used half of a broken branch to make a great path chair. There were rumors that the Elder King is the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. I think this wooden chair is that great path chair that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor made with the Bodhi ancient tree.¡± When someone revealed the secret, everyone gasped. They had never expected that the wooden chair was made of the ancient Bodhi tree and was made by one of the most powerful great emperors, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor! Chapter 157 - The Opinions of the Various Races ¡°Human Elder King, I didn¡¯t expect you to be the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. One of my ancestors had no choice but to appear back in that era because his divine source was shattered. He has some ties with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor,¡± Prince Zhan chuckled and gave Qin Chen a friendly look. He respected the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor from the bottom of his heart. Everyone was surprised to see this. They didn¡¯t expect the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and the battle sage ape to have such ties. However, what made them even more shocked was that the human race¡¯s Elder King was actually the inheritor of an ancient great emperor. Not only that, but the ancient great emperor was a heavenly emperor. Heavenly emperors were unparalleled existences that could suppress the ancient times and stand shoulder to shoulder with the primordial heavenly sovereigns! Qin Chen did not deny his identity. After all, the human race needed a great emperor¡¯s successor to give them confidence. Moreover, he had the Chaotic Holy Body and cultivated the Chaotic Imperial Scripture. It was not an exaggeration to call him the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. ¡°The human race and the battle sage ape race have always been on good terms. We, the human race, will naturally not forget such ties,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands at Prince Zhan and replied politely. ¡°Hmph, the Bodhi ancient tree is an immortal divine medicine. Is this chair something you can sit on?¡± The giant race¡¯s Supreme Sage was filled with greed as he extended his hand towards the great path chair. However, just as his hand was about to reach it, the chair was immediately stimulated, and a wave of emperor¡¯s might struck. With that, an arm of the giant race¡¯s Supreme Sage was severed. ¡°Ah!¡± The giant race¡¯s Supreme Sage cried out in pain. ¡°Hmph!¡± Prince Zhan snorted coldly, ¡°This is an item forged by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Do you think you can touch it? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the great path chair hasn¡¯t fully recovered, how could you still be alive?¡± Just as Prince Zhan said, although the great path chair wasn¡¯t an extreme emperor weapon, it wasn¡¯t something that ordinary people could touch. If anyone dared to snatch it, even a Supreme Sage would die on the spot. However, to Qin Chen¡¯s disappointment, the great path chair could only be revived itself and could not be driven by spiritual energy. Otherwise, it would definitely become a great killing weapon for him. The elder from the primordial sage race also frowned and looked at the great path chair. He exclaimed, ¡°The human race has produced some impressive powerhouses.¡± ¡°The Myriad Races Gathering will continue. However, I¡¯m warning everyone here. If anyone makes a move again, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± The primordial sage race elder snorted. Everyone sat down and continued with the gathering. Supreme Sage Peng Kong did not give up and continued, ¡°The conditions of the roc imperial clan will not change. As long as you hand over the human race¡¯s Elder King, the roc imperial clan can live in peace with the human race.¡± ¡°Not only does the giant race want the Southern Desolate Land, but we also want the life of the human Elder King,¡± The giant said with anger. Seeing that two far ancient imperial clans didn¡¯t change their minds, the skyfall spoke up as well, ¡°The skyfall race¡¯s condition remains the same. The human race must provide us with a million people every month. Your human race has so many members, but the skyfall race only wants one million every month. That¡¯s already very kind of us.¡± Other than the three of them, the other members of the ancient imperial clans did not express their opinions. After all, they had never considered the human race a threat. Whether the human race lived or died had nothing to do with them. The reason why they had come to the Myriad Race Gathering was to announce to the world that their race had been revived. Prince Zhan suddenly spoke, ¡°The three of them can only represent their respective races. I represent the battle sage ape and all the other races that follow my race. I only have one condition. As long as the human race doesn¡¯t invade our territory, we can live in peace with you. Of course, we won¡¯t invade the human territory either.¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong and the other two were quite displeased when they heard what Prince Zhan said. However, due to the latter¡¯s power and status, they did not dare to say anything. Qin Chen and the seven humans all smiled. Although the ten thousand ancient races respected all ancient imperial clans, the only ancient imperial clans that had followers from the ten thousand ancient races were the primordial sage race, the demon god race, the battle sage ape race, and the divine silkworm race. Now that Prince Zhan had spoken, the human race would have fewer enemies. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Prince Zhan. We will definitely restrain all human forces. If anyone dares to offend you, I will personally kill them!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian patted his chest and promised. ¡°Senior of the divine silkworm race, what do you think?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong looked at the eight-shedding divine silkworm. As long as it was on the same side as him, the human race would have no way out even without the support of the battle sage apes. The eight-shedding divine silkworm touched its chin and giggled like a child while saying, ¡°To be honest, I quite like the human race, so I won¡¯t be participating in this matter. By the way, I have a sister in the human race who is the princess of the North Castle¡¯s Wind Imperial Dynasty. All ten thousand ancient races, listen up. If anyone dares to hurt her, I will exterminate them even if they are an ancient imperial clan.¡± The sound of the great path resounded in the sky, causing everyone from the ten thousand ancient races to shiver. The elders all warned their juniors not to provoke the North Castle¡¯s Wind Imperial Dynasty, and if they saw the princess, they had to stay far away. On the other hand, the humans were all curious. Many of them hadn¡¯t heard of the Wind Imperial Dynasty, but from the name, it should be a small country in the North Castle. All of them remembered the name and prepared to pay a visit when they had the time. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re getting weirder and weirder the longer you live! I remember that your race doesn¡¯t like humans, right?¡± The primordial sage race¡¯s elder laughed loudly. The eight-shedding divine silkworm didn¡¯t get angry. It simply replied with a smile, ¡°Every time we morph, we sever our past life. In this life, I have fate with the human race. I don¡¯t care about others, but I will protect this person and this country.¡± The Supreme Sage elder retracted his gaze and looked at the evil divine dragon race, the primordial phoenix race, the demon god race, and the ancient shaman race. He asked, ¡°What about you guys? Do you have any objections?¡± The ancient shaman race, who had never taken the initiative to stand out, was shockingly the first to speak. He smiled at Qin Chen and the others, ¡°I¡¯m Wu Tian of the ancient shaman clan. I¡¯m willing to be on good terms with the human race. We¡¯re good at sorcery and alchemy. I heard that the Elder King of the human race is a genius in alchemy. I hope you can come to the ancient shaman race and give us some pointers.¡± Everyone frowned when they heard Supreme Sage Wu Tian¡¯s words. It was said that the ancient shaman race could predict who would be Heaven¡¯s favorite in the current generation. Since the ancient shaman race was so friendly, could the Elder King of the human race be the current generation¡¯s Heaven¡¯s favorite? The evil divine dragon race and the primordial phoenix spoke at almost the same time, expressing their willingness to live in peace with the human race. The latter even expressed a trace of goodwill towards the human Elder King. As for the demon god race, they withheld their opinion. It was as if they were waiting for the primordial sage race to make a decision. The primordial sage race elder looked at Qin Chen with killing intent, causing Qin Chen to feel great pressure. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, ¡°The primordial sage race can co-exist with the human race and live in peace. However, I¡¯ve promised to help the roc imperial clan settle the score. Therefore, the human race must hand over the human Elder King.¡± Chapter 158 - Death of the Supreme Sage ¡°To think the primordial sage race is actually willing to live in peace with the human race! However, if the human race doesn¡¯t have the Elder King, I¡¯m afraid that we won¡¯t have a future.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t hand over the Elder King. He is the hope of the human race. We can¡¯t abandon him!¡± ¡°Hmph, if the human race doesn¡¯t hand over the Elder King, just wait to be exterminated!¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races are simply too powerful. If we don¡¯t hand over the Elder King, the human race won¡¯t be able to survive!¡± ¡°The human race has survived since the primordial era. Our ancestors have gone through countless hardships to get the human race to where we are today. Are we going to move backward instead?¡± Everyone was chattering. The humans were arguing within themselves, while the ten thousand ancient races were ridiculing and laughing at the humans. At the same time, the seven human race experts had different opinions as well. Supreme Sage Qin Tian snorted, ¡°The human race will never hand over the Elder King. ¡°That¡¯s right. The Duanmu family also believes that the Elder King is the hope of the human race. We can¡¯t hand him over to the ten thousand ancient races,¡± Supreme Sage Duanmu said coldly. However, the Sage of the Dugu family spoke at this moment, ¡°If we continue to protect the Elder King, the survival of the human race will be at stake. Don¡¯t you know what to choose between saving one person and saving the entire race?¡± ¡°Hmph, the Elder King is the peak combat power of the human race. How can we hand him over to the ten thousand ancient races?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian retorted. Sage King Dugu¡¯s eyes narrowed as he argued, ¡°If we choose to protect, what will happen if the primordial sage race declares war on the human race?¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s fight! Even if we have to die, the human race will not let them have an easy time!¡± Supreme Sage Duanmu shouted coldly as his eyes burned with rage. He was not willing to give in. ¡°You are gambling with the future of the human race! It¡¯s ridiculous to sacrifice an entire race for one person!¡± Sage King Dugu shouted. The eyes of the Supreme Sage from the Jiuli Dynasty darkened as he said in a low voice, ¡°We can¡¯t hand over the Elder King.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t hand over the Elder King. As long as he is around, the human race will still have hope in this era.¡± The Supreme Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty also spoke. ¡°Have you ever thought about the future of the human race?¡± Sage King Dugu asked coldly. ¡°Old Dugu,¡± Sage King Cao sneered, ¡°Your ancestor, Dugu Baitian, once slashed through the sky with a single sword. If he knew that his descendant was such a coward and was willing to submit to the ten thousand ancient races, he would probably cross time to come and kill you!¡± ¡°You!¡± Sage King Dugu¡¯s face darkened and his eyes were full of resentment. ¡°Haha, the human race is really laughable. To think you are quarreling among yourselves. Unfortunately, we don¡¯t have time to wait for you to finish quarreling. Tell us, are you going to hand over the Elder King or not?¡± The Supreme Sage of the giant race shouted coldly as a terrifying Sagely might burst forth/ His eyes were filled with battle intent. No matter what decision the human race made, he would find the human Elder King to take revenge for his broken arm. Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s reply was decisive, ¡°The human race will not agree to any conditions that would humiliate the human race. We can live in peace with the ten thousand ancient races, but we will not give up the entire Southern Desolate Land, nor will we let humans become your food. And, we will definitely not hand over the human race¡¯s Elder King!¡± ¡°Hmph, do you think you have any other choice?¡± The Supreme Sage from the skyfall race shouted as his Sagely might gushed out. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he took out his Sage King supreme-grade weapon, ready to activate it at any moment. ¡°Do you really think the human race is afraid of you?¡± Supreme Sage Duanmu roared in anger as he too unleashed his Sagely might and faced off against the Skyfall Supreme Sage. There was not a single trace of fear in his eyes. ¡°Senior of the primordial sage race, since the human race is so stubborn, there¡¯s no need for us to be so polite with them. Let¡¯s kill the eight of them first, then exterminate the entire human race!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong cupped his hands at the elder from the primordial sage race, ¡°As long as the primordial sage race agrees, I will attack without hesitation.¡± ¡°Humans, is this your final decision?¡± The primordial sage race¡¯s elder asked. Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s face was fearless as he replied, ¡°This is the human race¡¯s response. If you want to fight, then we will fight!¡± As he finished speaking, the seven top expert human cultivators, including Sage King Dugu, exploded with power. They stood off against the domineering Supreme Sage Peng Kong and the others. As long as the primordial sage race¡¯s elder declared war, both sides would immediately start a war between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. Qin Chen looked at the seven people who were fighting for him. Even though he had come from another world, he was touched and felt a lump in his throat. However, if the human race were to go to war with the ten thousand ancient races now, even with the extreme emperor weapons, the chances of victory would not exceed 30%. How could he be at ease if the human race was wiped out because of him? He bowed to the seven of them and said in a deep voice, ¡°Seniors, Sage King Dugu is right. It¡¯s not a good deal to sacrifice an entire race for one person. Since they want my life, let them come and take it. No one can take my life!¡± The primordial sage race¡¯s elder did not want to fall out with the human race either. He said, ¡°As long as the human race hands over the Elder King, the primordial sage race promises to coexist peacefully with the human race. We will also restrain the ten thousand ancient races and will never treat the human race as food or invade the human race¡¯s territory.¡± Hearing this, the expressions of the Supreme Sages from the giant race and the skyfall race both changed. However, due to the power of the primordial sage race, they could only silently make concessions. Supreme Sage Dugu said to the other six, ¡°Everyone, the survival of the human race is our top priority. We must sacrifice the Elder King!¡± ¡°No! The Elder King is the hope of the human race. We can¡¯t give him up. If they want to fight, we¡¯ll accompany them to the end,¡± Supreme Sage Duanmu roared and took out his extreme Emperor weapon, ready to fight the ten thousand ancient races. When Qin Chen saw this, he looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian with a determined look and said in a deep voice, ¡°Senior, my life isn¡¯t that easy to take. Please help me take care of the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen activated the Desolate Divine Halberd and broke the protective shield of Haihuang City. He then used the Ancient Void Technique to teleport into the distance. ¡°You want to escape? No way!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong and the giant race¡¯s Supreme Sage burst forth at the same time and chased after him. The primordial sage race¡¯s elder was also recovering his power. He was simply too terrifying. The entire Haihuang City was shaking. The sky was dyed gold by Sage runes. A huge golden hand reached out from the starry sky toward Qin Chen. The terrifying pressure made him unable to hide. At this moment, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword revived as well, and the terrifying emperor¡¯s might suppressed everyone. The sword slashed into the sky, and the golden hand was shattered. The aftermath spread for millions of miles, and the spectating cultivators were affected. They all coughed up blood, clearly injured. ¡°Humans, are you declaring war on the primordial sage race?¡± The elder from the primordial sage race shouted. However, before Supreme Sage Qin Tian could speak, the crazy old man who had been following Qin Chen all this while suddenly appeared. He took a big step and arrived in the sky above Haihuang City. He looked at the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with tears streaming down his face and mumbled, ¡°Dead! The great emperor is dead too! They¡¯re all dead! Everyone was shocked by his words! ¡°Where did this crazy old man come from?¡± The Skyfall Supreme Sage roared coldly as he unleashed his Sagely might toward the crazy old man. However, the crazy old man merely turned his head to look before a chain of the great path shot out from the void, piercing through the Skyfall Supreme Sage¡¯s head and exploding. The Skyfall Supreme Sage was dead! Chapter 159 - Divine Battle ¡°Oh my God, is this even real? That crazy old man killed a Supreme Sage with just one look? Could he be a God?¡± ¡°Gulp. How could the human race have such a terrifying expert? Do the ten thousand ancient races have such an expert who has sealed himself to this day?¡± ¡°Hahahaha, our human race has a God realm expert. Do the ten thousand ancient races still dare to fight?¡± ¡°Hmph, now that a human God realm expert has appeared, do the ten thousand ancient races still dare to be arrogant?¡± Everyone in the world was shocked by the crazy old man¡¯s strength. However, Qin Chen knew that the latter was a lunatic. Once the experts of the ten thousand ancient races found out, they would not let him off. Therefore, Qin Chen did not hesitate and continued to flee. When Supreme Sage Peng Kong realized that Qin Chen had escaped, he looked at the crazy old man in fear, then gritted his teeth and gave chase. ¡°Senior of the human race, I am Gu Tian of the primordial sage race, paying my respects to you,¡± The elder from the primordial sage race had a look of fear on his face as he bowed deeply to the crazy old man. Although the aura of the crazy old man was retracted, the elder could still feel the terrifying pressure the old man was exuding. It was even stronger than that of a Supreme Sage. A power that surpassed the Supreme Sage realm would then be the legendary Shifang realm that had been extinct from the world for countless years. That realm was also known as the divine realm! ¡°Primordial sage race, traitors! Kill without mercy!¡± After the crazy old man stared at the elder from the primordial sage race for a moment, he suddenly roared out in anger. A towering killing intent erupted from his body, and in an instant, the boundless heaven and earth lost their color. The void couldn¡¯t withstand the power and shattered directly. Tens of thousands of paths trembled as they let out sorrowful cries of fear. ¡°Not good, let¡¯s go!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s expression changed drastically. He did not even have the time to retrieve the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword before he brought the other six experts and the humans who were watching the battle far away. ¡°This is huge! Time to go!¡± The battle sage ape laughed and rode on a white cloud, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The primordial dragons and primordial phoenix transformed into their true forms and flew into the distance at top speed. Supreme Sage Wu Tian seemed to have been prepared for this. He brought a teleportation array disc that had been reinforced by a primordial emperor and teleported out of the East Sea. The eight-shedding divine silkworm didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer either. Its body flickered with golden light as it escaped into the starry sky. The demon god expert was bold and confident. He simply activated his ancient imperial weapon to protect himself and retreated a mere hundred thousand miles. Seeing that all these important figures had fled, the spectators from the ten thousand ancient races also began to use various movement techniques to flee as quickly as they could. ¡°Human expert, are you going to destroy this world?¡± The old man from the primordial sage race shouted. He had been locked onto by the crazy old man and could not use any escape techniques. ¡°Primordial sage race, traitor! Kill without mercy!¡± The crazy old man repeated this sentence as he unhurriedly sent out a palm strike toward the elder from the primordial sage race. ¡°Shit! Patriarch, save me!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race screamed. The great paths around him were shattering and his body was splitting apart. In just a few breaths, the elder from the primordial sage race was dead. Even his divine spirit source was obliterated and he was completely wiped off from the world. Right after the Supreme Sage of the Skyfall race was killed, the primordial Supreme Sage from the primordial sage race was also killed by the crazy old man. This scene made everyone¡¯s blood run cold. In just a few seconds, two of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ Supreme Sages had been killed. This was definitely a world-shaking event. ¡°Human, you¡¯ve crossed the line!¡± An incomparably cold voice rang out from the depths of the East Sea. As the voice rang out, chains of the great path shot out towards the crazy old man, wanting to suppress him. ¡°Primordial sage race, traitor! Kill without mercy!¡± The crazy old man roared in a low voice. The chains of the great path that were attacking him were all shattered. He took a step forward and appeared in the depths of the East Sea which was hundreds of millions of miles away. Under his feet, it was the ancestral land of the primordial sage race. ¡°Primordial sage race, traitor. Kill without mercy!¡± The crazy old man repeated this sentence patiently. He was still unleashing his power, and his terrifying divine might enveloped the entire East Sea. The demonic beasts at the bottom of the sea all sank and shivered, praying to the heavens that they would survive this calamity. ¡°Human, you¡¯re seeking death!¡± A beam of golden light shot out as a primordial living being whose entire body was emitting divine might appeared on the surface of the sea. He exchanged a glance with the crazy old man before summoning an ancient imperial weapon and moving the space to the starry skies outside. After the crazy old man left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After all, if God experts were to fight in the Canglan Continent, the entire continent would probably be destroyed. However, what no one had expected was that the primordial sage race also had a slumbering God. Furthermore, he had awakened in this era. One must know that the higher one¡¯s cultivation was, the more terrifying the cost of self-sealing would be. Therefore, it was almost impossible to seal a God. Yet, the primordial sage race had managed to do such a thing. It was truly inconceivable. ¡°As expected of the primordial sage race, which has never fallen out of the top three races in the primordial era. They can even compete with the dragon race. Their foundations are truly unfathomable and they even have a slumbering God.¡± ¡°The Shifang divine realm, a divine level that is superior to the three Jiutian Sage realms. I wonder what method the primordial sage race used to allow a God to slumber and be sealed up to this era.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that all the Supreme Sages and experts above that realm have left this world with the primordial emperors? Why is there a God in the primordial sage race that is still in deep sleep?¡± ¡°Since the human race has one, it¡¯s only natural for the ten thousand ancient races to have one or two as well.¡± ¡­ The starry sky trembled as the two Gods fought, shattering countless stardust. Even though it was far away from the Emperor Star where the Canglan Continent was located, the people of the Canglan Continent could still feel the waves of destructive power coming from the endless outer space. ¡°Damn you, human, I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± The ancient imperial weapon was fully revived, and the Emperor Star was trembling. The heavens were buzzing, and stardust exploded one after another. The starry sky ten thousand miles away from the Emperor star was reduced to ruins. At this moment, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword which had been silent in the sky above Haihuang City started showing its might. It appeared out of thin air in the crazy old man¡¯s hand. It was also fully revived. ¡°Primordial sage race, traitor. Kill without mercy!¡± The crazy old man didn¡¯t have any apprehensions. Even if he shattered the starry sky, it wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him from swinging out this sword. The sky was split into two, and all the living beings trembled as they bowed to the emperor¡¯s might of the extreme emperor weapon while the thousands of paths buzzed. This situation continued for half a month without end. Some people used their heavenly eye supernormal knowledge to look at the starry sky, only to see shattered stars and the depths of the starry sky shrouded by emperor¡¯s might. Everyone was paying close attention to the outcome of this battle. After all, this battle would determine the future of the human race and the primordial sage race. For this half a month, to avoid Supreme Sage Peng Kong and the giant race¡¯s Supreme Sage, Qin Chen did not return to the Taiyi Holy Land. Instead, he hid in a mountain in the Central Province to cultivate. ¡°I haven¡¯t checked in for half a month. If I can¡¯t go back to the Taiyi Holy Land, I can go somewhere else!¡± Qin Chen mumbled. He stepped out of the mountain and looked in the direction of the North Castle. Just as he was about to leave, a wave of Sagely might suddenly came toward him. Qin Chen subconsciously took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and dispersed the Sagely might with a swing of his halberd. When he turned around, he saw Supreme Sage Peng Kong glaring at him. ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ve been looking for you for half a month!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted coldly. Because of the crazy old man, he had lost track of Qin Chen. In addition, the latter used the system to hide his aura. Therefore, he could only search every inch of the area which spawned hundreds of millions of miles for half a month. If Qin Chen had not appeared himself, he would not have been able to find the other party. ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, the human race has both God-level and Supreme Sages. If you attack me again, you may be suppressed by the human race!¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly. Now that he did not have an emperor weapon, he did not want to fight Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Hence, he used the name of the crazy old man and the human Supreme Sages, hoping to scare Supreme Sage Peng Kong away. However, Qin Chen had clearly underestimated Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s determination to kill him. The latter immediately drew the Divine Roc Emperor Sword that covered the sky, completely cutting off the place. With this, even if he were to unleash his full power here, he would not be detected by the human Supreme Sages. Chapter 160 - : The Nine Forbidden Grounds ¡°Elder King, it¡¯s time to end the grudge between you and me!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong growled and took out a Sage King weapon. He unleashed his full power and charged toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed. He used all his strength to activate the Desolate Divine Halberd and used all kinds of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge to fight against Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The two of them unleashed their full power, and the terrifying Sagely might destroyed this part of the world. Even so, under the suppression of the Divine Roc Emperor Sword, the aftershocks of their battle didn¡¯t spread to the outside world. No one knew that there was another earth-shattering battle taking place here other than the outer starry sky. ¡°Elder King, even if you have a quasi-emperor weapon, you will die here today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared as he activated the Divine Roc Emperor Sword once more, causing it to burst with a blinding golden light as it unleashed a torrent of killing intent toward Qin Chen. The Divine Roc Emperor Sword was an ancient imperial weapon that was comparable to an extreme emperor weapon. Even though only a trace of its power had been revived, Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He consumed a Sage King pill and drew out the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might to block the attack. However, in this way, Qin Chen would also lose the help of the Desolate Divine Halberd. This was Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s plan. He took advantage of the fact that Qin Chen was unable to use his quasi-emperor weapon to unleash his full power and throw out another Sage King weapon toward Qin Chen. In a moment of desperation, Qin Chen took out the Sage-slaying Bow and nocked a Sage-slaying Arrow. He drew the bow and fired the arrow. The arrow pierced through the void and collided with Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s Sage King weapon. A deafening sound was heard and both parties were sent flying. With a screech, a hundred thousand feet large golden-winged roc came attacking. This was Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s true form. The supernormal knowledge of the roc imperial clan was operating on his sharp claws. Once caught, even a Supreme Sage would die on the spot. Qin Chen consumed another Sage King pill and returned to his peak state. His body emitted Sagely light as he guarded himself with the Thirty-three Heavens. A dragon¡¯s roar could be heard as the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, was activated. The golden-winged roc swooped and fought with Qin Chen. With every collision, Qin Chen was forced back. If not for the fact that his Chaotic Holy Body was comparable to the body of a primordial dragon, he would not have been able to withstand the full-powered strike of Supreme Sage Peng Kong even if he had the Thirty-three Heavens to protect him. Being so passive, Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned ugly. The difference in cultivation between him and Supreme Sage Peng Kong was too great. If this continued, he would be the one to die. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen roared. The Chaotic Holy Body was unleashed to its fullest as Qin Chen took out the great path chair and used it as a weapon, smashing it against the roc¡¯s sharp claws. The roc let out a pained cry and was sent flying hundreds of miles away. Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Chen threw the chair at the Divine Roc Emperor Sword, blocking its attack and taking back the Desolate Divine Halberd. Although the great path chair was personally crafted by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, it could not block an ancient imperial weapon. Qin Chen ate another Sage King pill and injected all his divine power into the Desolate Divine Halberd, trying to break through the Divine Roc Emperor Sword¡¯s seal. Supreme Sage Peng Kong naturally wouldn¡¯t just watch as Qin Chen attempted to break through the seal and escape. He transformed into his human form and activated his Sage King weapon with all his might, releasing a torrential amount of Sagely might that he hurled at Qin Chen. Qin Chen frowned. He did not stop activating the Desolate Divine Halberd. Instead, he activated his Chaotic Holy Body and the Thirty-three Heavens, ready to take the attack of Supreme Sage Peng Kong. ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯re seeking death!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted coldly as his Sage King weapon finally landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body. The sound of bones breaking sounded in the latter¡¯s body as he coughed out a mouthful of blood and his body flew backward. The Chaotic Holy Body did not disappoint Qin Chen. Although his ribs were broken, his injuries were not too serious. He took advantage of the situation to distance himself from Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Then, he turned around and threw the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might. The halberd collided with the Divine Roc Emperor Sword¡¯s barrier, stirring up a towering emperor¡¯s might. ¡°Crack!¡± A crisp sound rang out as a crack appeared on the barrier. Qin Chen put away his chair and Sage King weapon before punching the crack, creating an exit, and taking the opportunity to escape. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about escaping!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared in anger as he recalled the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. He transformed back into his true form and charged toward Qin Chen. At the same time, the top cultivators of the human race all looked in the direction of the Central Province. All of them burst out with monstrous Sagely might and charged over aggressively. Qin Chen ran toward the Western Heaven while Supreme Sage Peng Kong chased after him. The latter continuously used his extreme speed secret technique and gradually closed the distance between the two. Without an Emperor weapon, Qin Chen knew that he was no match for Supreme Sage Peng Kong. He looked at a forbidden ground in Western Heaven and flew over without looking back. There were nine forbidden places in the Canglan Continent. In Western Heaven were the Emperor Burial Abyss and the Demon Emperor Tomb, in the Southern Desolate Land were Thousands Devil Den and the Emperor¡¯s Forest, in East Sea were the Primordial Sea and the Deep Sea Cave, in North Castle were the Phoenix¡¯s and the Cold Sky Valley, and lastly in the Central Province was the Beginnings Mineral Vein. The nine forbidden grounds had existed for tens of thousands of years. Some of them had even existed in the primordial era. Even Supreme Sages had never returned on their expeditions. For tens of thousands of years, no one dared to challenge the nine forbidden grounds. Qin Chen was now heading to the Demon Emperor Tomb in Western Heaven. Legend had it that the Demon Emperor Tomb was the tomb of the demon race¡¯s great emperor. Whether it was during the primordial era or after that, the demon race was powerful in the Canglan Continent and had given birth to many great emperors. However, with the arrival of the Dharma-ending age, the demon race¡¯s experts had sealed themselves and had not appeared until now. The Demon Emperor Tomb was located in a desert in Western Heaven¡¯s wasteland. The desert was endless with a demonic wind blowing all year round that even Supreme Sages did not dare to experience. It was a forbidden ground that one could not return from. Even so, Qin Chen still had to go. This was not only to get rid of Supreme Sage Peng Kong but also to find the Demon Emperor Tomb and check in. Although this trip was a little dangerous, with his strength and luck, he could quite possibly still escape unscathed. Moreover, he was the one chosen by heaven and was bestowed with the system. How could a mere Demon Emperor Tomb bury him? He activated the Ancient Void Technique and Moving Secret Technique together. In less than half a day, Qin Chen arrived at the periphery of the Demon Emperor Tomb. He looked at the boundless desert, where demonic winds were blowing, and suddenly stopped. ¡°Hmph, human elder King, you have nowhere to run!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong caught up and looked at the forbidden ground in front. He could not help but sneer. ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong, I will not forget what happened today. When I come out of the Demon Emperor Tomb, I will exterminate the roc imperial clan,¡± Qin Chen deliberately used the power of the great path to spread his voice across the entire Canglan Continent. He had stopped here to say this. After saying this, he turned around and flew toward the Demon Emperor Tomb without hesitation. ¡°Human Elder King, you no longer have the chance,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared in anger and activated the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. He unleashed a monstrous aura and smashed it toward Qin Chen and the Demon Emperor Tomb! Chapter 161 - Demon God Tomb As the emperor¡¯s might struck, Qin Chen¡¯s speed slowed down significantly. He wanted to take out the Desolate Divine Halberd, but he thought of a rumor that extreme emperor weapons could not be used in the forbidden ground, or he would be suppressed. Although the Desolate Divine Halberd was only a quasi-emperor weapon, it could still unleash an emperor¡¯s might. Qin Chen¡¯s intuition told him not to court death, so he did not activate the halberd. The Divine Roc Emperor Sword revived as it smashed toward Qin Chen, who had already entered the desert. Qin Chen could vaguely feel an emperor¡¯s might surging out from the depths of the desert. However, at this moment, a divine iron rod that was like a heavenly pillar descended from the sky, suppressing the Divine Roc Emperor Sword outside the Demon Emperor Tomb. Supreme Sage Peng Kong spat out a mouthful of blood from the impact of the two ancient imperial weapons. Looking at Prince Zhan who was lying on the cloud, Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s face was pale as he said, ¡°Prince Zhan, what do you mean by this?¡± Prince Zhan yawned and snorted, ¡°Peng Kong, don¡¯t you know that you can¡¯t revive an ancient imperial artifact in the forbidden grounds? If you want to court death, that¡¯s fine, but many of my clansmen are here. If you hurt them, I¡¯ll bury your entire race.¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong clenched his fists and his expression was extremely unsightly. However, when he thought about Prince Zhan¡¯s status and power, he could only swallow his anger and put away the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. Seeing this, Qin Chen laughed out loud in the desert, ¡°Peng Kong, treasure your remaining days. When I come out, your race will be annihilated.¡± With that, Qin Chen disappeared into the sandstorm. Supreme Sage Peng Kong stopped as well. After all, he did not have the guts to enter the forbidden ground. Seven auras appeared as Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the other six arrived. They glared at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the Elder King?¡± ¡°Hmph, he has entered the Demon Emperor Tomb. Death will be his end,¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong snorted. With the ancient imperial weapon in his hands, he was not afraid of Qin Tian and the others. Furthermore, Prince Zhan of the ancient imperial clan was still next to him. He did not believe that the humans would dare to attack him. However, just as Supreme Sage Peng Kong thought of this, Supreme Sage Duanmu summoned his extreme emperor weapon and charged over, intending to kill the former. The extreme emperor weapon unleashed its might, suppressing everything in its surroundings. The ten thousand ancient races¡¯ members trembled on the ground, cursing their bad luck for being dragged into this battle. ¡°Human, stop! This is my race¡¯s territory,¡± Prince Zhan shouted at Supreme Sage Duanmu as he held the shrunken divine iron rod. When Supreme Sage Duanmu heard this, he suppressed his anger and put away his extreme emperor weapon. After all, Prince Zhan had no ill intentions toward the human race, so he had to respect the other party to a certain extent. ¡°Peng Kong, the human race will remember this. If the Elder King doesn¡¯t come back alive, we will use the extreme emperor weapons to kill your race in the future,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian snorted coldly. After exchanging a glance with Prince Zhan, he left with the other six experts. ¡°Thank you for your help, Prince Zhan,¡± After the seven powerful cultivators of the human race left, Supreme Sage Peng Kong bowed to the Prince. Prince Zhan¡¯s eyes narrowed and he replied coldly, ¡°Peng Kong, if you dare to step into my territory again, I¡¯ll exterminate your entire race with my own hands!¡± With that, Prince Zhan left immediately. Supreme Sage Peng Kong did not dare to stay any longer and left without looking back. Within a few hours, Qin Chen¡¯s last words spread throughout the Canglan Continent. After knowing that Supreme Sage Peng Kong had forced the Elder King into the forbidden ground, all the humans were furious. In contrast, the ten thousand ancient races rejoiced. After all, the death of the human race Elder King meant that the ten thousand ancient races had one less major enemy. ¡°Damn it, how dare Supreme Sage Peng Kong do such a thing? Is he not afraid that the human Supreme Sages will attack and destroy his roc imperial clan?¡± ¡°If anything happens to the Elder King, I¡¯ll definitely ask the Supreme Sage of my family to bring his extreme emperor weapon to the roc imperial clan,¡± The young master of the Duanmu family snorted. That day, Qin Feng also stood in the sky above the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial city and roared, ¡°If anything happens to the Minister, the Great Qin Dynasty will do everything we can to exterminate the roc imperial clan!¡± The other imperial clans and aristocratic families also made their statements. As long as there was no news from the Elder King after a month, they vowed to do their best to exterminate the roc imperial clan. The ten thousand ancient races and the roc imperial clan panicked. They had never thought that the human race would value the Elder King so much that they would unite and use the entire race¡¯s forces to avenge the Elder King. Over the past month, Supreme Sage Peng Kong visited every single ancient imperial clan. After paying a huge price, he finally formed an alliance with the giant race and the skyfall race, preparing to resist the human race. A month later, there was still no news from the human Elder King. On this day, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the other six powerful human cultivators brought their extreme emperor weapons to the Roc Forest, ready to destroy the roc imperial clan. However, the giant race and the skyfall race also sent out two Supreme Sages each, all with ancient imperial weapons to support the roc imperial clan. Both sides were wary of each other, and after testing each other out, both sides retreated, not daring to fight. After all, Canglan Continent would shatter if six extreme emperor weapons and three ancient imperial weapons were revived at the same time. Looking at the starry sky, the Gods from the primordial sage race and the human race were still fighting, so no one dared to even leave the Emperor Star. At this moment, Qin Chen was wandering in the desert. He had come to the Demon Emperor Tomb for a month, but apart from the demonic wind that gave even Supreme Sages a headache and some demonic beasts with Venerable cultivation, he had not found anything. The system had not detected any place with divinity either. On this day, the demonic wind was wreaking havoc once again. Qin Chen had no choice but to bury himself underground to avoid it. This was the best way he had come up with to avoid the demonic wind during his month in the Demon Emperor Tomb. This desert was different from the other deserts in the outside world. Not only was it rich in essence, but even heaven and earth here were extremely sturdy. Even if a Supreme Sage were to unleash his power here, it would be difficult for him to shatter the desert. That was why Qin Chen had buried himself underground to avoid the demonic wind. After the demonic wind disappeared, Qin Chen crawled out of the ground and continued to walk in the desert. In addition to all those mentioned above, the worst thing about the desert was that one couldn¡¯t fly, and even moving techniques couldn¡¯t be used. One could only rely on one¡¯s feet to walk. After walking for another seven days, Qin Chen was about to lose his patience. However, just as he was about to return home, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Ding!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered ahead!] Qin Chen looked forward with a smile on his face. After searching for so long, he finally found the exact Demon Emperor Tomb. However, at this time, a giant creature appeared in the sandstorm. Upon a closer look, it turned out to be a giant scorpion with a body of 10000 feet. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes were vicious, and its aura was terrifying. It had at least the cultivation of the Supreme Sage realm. ¡°Human, this is not a place you can come to. Considering how difficult it was for you to cultivate, go back!¡± Chapter 162 - Supreme Sage Scorpion The big scorpion spoke in the human language. Its eyes were fierce as it stared at Qin Chen, trying to drive him away. Qin Chen had traveled thousands of miles before finally finding the Demon Emperor Tomb. Naturally, he would not leave just like that. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Senior, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to get here. If I can¡¯t go to the Demon Emperor Tomb to take a look, I will never leave.¡± ¡°The Demon Emperor Tomb is the Demon Emperor¡¯s resting place. How can you enter as you please? Leave quickly, or die here!¡± The big scorpion shouted coldly. Its Supreme Sage aura gushed out, attempting once more to drive Qin Chen away. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned solemn. Now that success was within his grasp, he would definitely not leave. Since he could not convince the other party, he could only charge in. With a thought, he activated the Moving Secret Technique. With extreme speed, he rushed forward in a flash. 1 ¡°You¡¯re seeking death!¡± The giant scorpion roared in anger. It raised its ten-thousand-foot-long tail where its poisonous stinger was attached and struck at Qin Chen. Qin Chen stopped in his tracks and activated the Chaotic Holy Body. Chaos energy surrounded him as he roared and jumped high. Then, he punched the scorpion¡¯s tail, and a terrifying force exploded. Green blood spurted out as the scorpion raised its pincers and screamed in pain. ¡°Human, how dare you hurt me!¡± The big scorpion was furious, and its aura became even more terrifying. It raised its iron pincers and aimed them at Qin Chen¡¯s head. The power of this attack was extremely terrifying, and even a Supreme Sage would find it hard to resist. ¡°Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!¡± Dragon roars sounded from Qin Chen¡¯s body. One hundred and eight streaks of dragon qi materialized to protect him. Although it was only dragon qi, it still brought great pressure on the big scorpion. ¡°Bang!¡± With an explosion, the big scorpion¡¯s iron pincers were bounced off by the dragon qi, and it was also forced back a few steps. Its eyes were full of surprise. It didn¡¯t expect that with its cultivation of the Supreme Sage realm, it would still be unable to deal with a Sage King human. What surprised it even more was that the supernormal knowledge that this human had unleashed contained dragon might! The dragon race was one of the most powerful races among the demons. They were worshipped as gods by all the demon races. This was not only suppression through strength but also by bloodline. Under the dragon¡¯s might, even a demon expert in level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm would find his strength greatly reduced. ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with the dragon race?¡± The big scorpion did not dare to offend the dragon race, so it asked with a look of fear. Qin Chen did not attack again. He touched his chin and said, ¡°One of my little brothers is a dragon.¡± ¡°How arrogant! How can a dragon race expert become your little brother? Nonsense, let¡¯s see if you¡¯ll tell the truth after I suppress you!¡± The big scorpion shouted coldly. It did not believe Qin Chen¡¯s words. It waved its pincers again and smashed them toward Qin Chen. The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose, revealing a disdainful smile. After the short exchange just now, he found that although this scorpion¡¯s cultivation was in the Supreme Sage realm, its strength was indeed much weaker than the Supreme Sages he had fought before. Even if he could not use the Desolate Divine Halberd, he could still suppress it. He circulated Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon with all his might. The dragon roars were unceasing as the dragon might overflowed, attacking the big scorpion directly. Perhaps it was because of the dragon¡¯s might, but after a few rounds, the big scorpion showed signs of defeat. In the end, it retreated step by step and raised its pair of big iron pincers in surrender. ¡°No more, no more. I¡¯ll just let you pass!¡± The big scorpion shouted, and its body shrunk. In the end, it turned into a human with a scorpion head. Qin Chen was not in a hurry to go into the Demon Emperor Tomb. Instead, he came to the side of the big scorpion and asked, ¡°Are you the demon that guards the Demon Emperor Tomb?¡± ¡°Probably. I was born here. However, I have never entered the Demon Emperor Tomb before,¡± The big scorpion shook its head. It seemed quite lonely. Although it was born here, it knew nothing about the Demon Emperor Tomb. It wasn¡¯t even sure if it was the demon tasked to guard the place. ¡°You were born here, yet you didn¡¯t go into the Demon Emperor Tomb to take a look?¡± Qin Chen was incredulous. To think the scorpion could silently cultivate and reach the Supreme Sage realm after staying here since birth. One could imagine how extraordinary this place was. Furthermore, the Demon Emperor Tomb was the burial ground of the Demon Emperor. He did not believe that the big scorpion could remain untempted. The big scorpion shook its head and did not reply to Qin Chen. Instead, it turned around and walked in the direction of the Demon Emperor Tomb. Qin Chen was puzzled as he followed with big steps. After walking for a few minutes and passing through a sand field, a large blood-red desert appeared before Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Demon Emperor Tomb is buried here. You are not the first person who wants to enter, but those who have gone in have all died.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed when he heard the scorpion¡¯s words. According to the historical records in the outside world, no one had entered the forbidden grounds for a million years. In other words, someone had come here a million years ago, but all died and even dyed the desert red. Looking at the blood-red desert in front of him, Qin Chen was shocked. The desert was at least a million miles wide. It was hard for him to imagine how many people had died here to dye it entirely red. ¡°How did they die?¡± Qin Chen asked. The big scorpion looked at the blood-red desert and shook its head, ¡°At that time, I had just been born, so I only dared to hide at the side. Not long after they went down, the desert became like this, and no one has come out until now.¡± ¡°You stayed here all this time? Have you never gone out?¡± Qin Chen frowned. He was curious about how the big scorpion had survived all these years. The big scorpion pointed outside with its pincers and said, ¡°Other than this place, the rest of the desert is filled with demonic winds. I want to leave, but I have to be able to do so! For so many years, I have been staying here, relying on the pills and corpses that fly out of the Demon Emperor Tomb to survive.¡± ¡°Pills that fly out of the Demon Emperor Tomb?¡± Qin Chen was confused. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the blood-red sand in the center of the desert poured out, revealing a small hole the size of a well. Before Qin Chen could react, a gust of demonic wind blew out of the hole, and a bunch of random things was blown out. There were pills, weapons, spatial artifacts, and even a human skeleton. The big scorpion found a leather bag from somewhere and put all these things in it. It even stared at Qin Chen with vigilance and said, ¡°These are all mine,¡± Qin Chen was speechless. Did this guy think that he would snatch those things? The big scorpion carried the leather bag and brought Qin Chen to a sand pit not far away. There was a bonfire burning in the sand pit and an extraordinary tent with ancient Sage runes. It was no less mystical than a Sage weapon. It should be something that the scorpion picked up outside the blood-red desert. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were attracted by a big black pot. The pot was completely black with many stains. However, what surprised Qin Chen was that the array text on the big black pot was somewhat similar to the array text on the Desolate Divine Halberd. Could it also be Emperor runes? Chapter 163 - Black Pot Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare to think about it. If it really was Emperor runes, then this black pot was probably a lost emperor weapon! ¡°This is the pot I use to stew meat. Although meat hasn¡¯t flown out of the Demon Emperor Tomb for a long time, don¡¯t even think about getting your hands on this pot!¡± Seeing that Qin Chen was staring at the big black pot, the big scorpion held the big black pot in its arms and looked at Qin Chen with its teeth bared, as if to say ¡°if you dare to have any ideas about my big black pot, don¡¯t blame me for fighting you to the death¡±. Qin Chen was speechless, but he really wanted to know if this big black pot was an emperor weapon. Thus, he took out the corpse of the roc he killed in the Roc Forest and licked his lips as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll use this roc to exchange with you.¡± ¡°A roc!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes lit up. Demons could devour other races to improve their bloodline. Although this roc was only a chaotic demon spawn and not a real roc, the bloodline of the golden-winged roc in its body was enough to benefit it a lot. However, the big scorpion had also used the black pot for many years. It knew very well that this black pot was definitely no ordinary item. If it were to exchange the pot for a roc corpse just like that, it would feel that it had suffered a loss. Seeing the big scorpion¡¯s hesitation, Qin Chen snorted, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to exchange, then forget it.¡± As he spoke, Qin Chen put the roc¡¯s corpse away and moved as if he was about to leave. The big scorpion was immediately anxious when it saw this. It looked at the big black pot in its arms with reluctance and gritted its teeth, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll trade with you. But I want the other foods on you too.¡± ¡°Deal!¡± Qin Chen smiled triumphantly. With a thought, a pile of food flew out from his spatial magical artifact. There were the corpses of demonic beasts, precious fruits, and all kinds of wine. It could be said that there was everything one could think of. Looking at the variety of food, the big scorpion giggled, and saliva flowed out. It had been here since it was born and had never left. For so many years, it had never eaten any proper food. It couldn¡¯t believe what it was seeing. After taking the big black pot from the big scorpion, Qin Chen went to the side to check it carefully. He used the spiritual spring water to wash the dirt off the big black pot, then tried to use his divine power to activate it. What surprised him was that the divine power he released was enough to revive a Sage King weapon, but the black pot did not even react after devouring his divine power. Could the black pot really be an extreme emperor weapon? Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed and his expression became serious. He decided to find out what was going on and continued to transfer divine power to the big black pot. Half an hour later, a drop of sweat appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead, but the big black pot was still reactionless, which surprised him. One had to know that the amount of divine power he had released by now was enough to revive an extreme emperor weapon! Seeing that Qin Chen was still studying the big black pot, the big scorpion, who was stewing meat and drinking wine at the side, suddenly said, ¡°Brat, other than being able to stew meat faster, that black pot has no other use. Why don¡¯t you rest for a while and let me use it to stew the roc first?¡± The roc¡¯s corpse was terrifyingly tough. Even if the big scorpion stewed it with Dao fire, it couldn¡¯t be cooked in a short time. Therefore, it thought of using the big black pot once more. ¡°Stew meat?¡± Qin Chen muttered and looked at the big black pot in his hand. Since he could not find out its secrets, he frankly threw the pot back to the big scorpion. The big scorpion took the big black pot and poured the roc meat into the pot. After adding some spiritual spring water, it lit a Dao fire and began to stew the roc. In less than five minutes, the smell of meat wafted out. The roc¡¯s meat had been stewed, and the thick fragrance tempted even Qin Chen. He thought to himself, ¡°Is this big black pot not a weapon, but a food vessel?¡± The big scorpion was already drooling. It tore off a piece of roc meat with its bare hands without any fear of the heat and gobbled it down in front of Qin Chen. ¡°This roc is really not bad. Its meat is tender and chewy. It¡¯s even more delicious than the meat I¡¯ve eaten before,¡± The big scorpion showed a satisfied expression and complimented with a muffled voice. Qin Chen swallowed his saliva and couldn¡¯t help but look at the big black pot. He was originally eyeing the roc meat, but he was suddenly shocked. The roc meat in the pot did not have a trace of divine power. The bloodline power in the meat had disappeared. This shocked Qin Chen. He took a big step towards the big black pot and stared at it. Then, he used his divine sense power to carefully examine the array patterns. ¡°What are you doing? This meat is all mine,¡± The big scorpion stood in front of the big black pot like a cub protecting its food as it bared its fangs at Qin Chen. ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed that this roc meat has already lost its bloodline power?¡± Qin Chen snorted. The big scorpion looked at the stew in the pot, then at the chunk of meat in its hand. It came to a sudden realization and said, ¡°You¡¯re saying that the big black pot has devoured the bloodline power of the roc meat? ¡± Qin Chen nodded. This was the only explanation now. However, what he could not figure out was that devouring bloodlines was something that only living beings could do. How did this black pot do it? Could it be that it had gained sentience? ¡°Hmph, no wonder my bloodline hasn¡¯t improved even after eating so many experts. It¡¯s all because of this pot. I¡¯ll smash you into pieces with one palm!¡± The big scorpion shouted angrily and turned back into its original form. After it poured the meat stew in the pot all into its mouth, it burst out with Sagely might and hit the big black pot with its pincers. ¡°Bang!¡± With a loud bang, the big scorpion turned back into its human form. However, when the dust settled, both Qin Chen and the big scorpion were shocked. The big black pot was unscathed. One should know that this was an attack from a Supreme Sage! ¡°Damn! Isn¡¯t this black pot too solid?!¡± The big scorpion cursed. Its hand was numb, but the black pot was still intact. It was even harder than divine iron. Qin Chen picked up the big black pot and used his heavenly eye divine power to check it again. However, he still couldn¡¯t find anything fishy, so he put it away, planning to study it when he returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Damn it, this black pot has been devouring the bloodline power of all my food all this time. No wonder my bloodline hasn¡¯t improved after eating so many races. It¡¯s all because of this. To think it has tricked me for tens of thousands of years, this pot is too cunning!¡± The big scorpion was so angry that it kept cursing. It had obtained this black pot a long time ago and had been using it to stew meat all this time. When it thought of the bloodline power that the big black pot had secretly devoured all these years, its heart was bleeding. Qin Chen pitied the big scorpion and lent it his Black Phoenix Cauldron. With the help of the Black Phoenix Cauldron, The giant scorpion finally got to eat the roc meat with intact bloodline power. That night, after the giant scorpion devoured the roc¡¯s bloodline, its bloodline power was thus enhanced. Its skin turned golden, and it actually showed signs of atavism. Chapter 164 - God Death In the desert, a giant golden scorpion that was tens of thousands of feet long was unleashing its might. The giant scorpion¡¯s aura soared and it finally broke through to level 4 of the Supreme Sage realm. ¡°Haha, as expected of a roc with the golden-winged roc bloodline. After eating it, not only did I show signs of atavism, I even broke through two minor levels. I¡¯ve really struck it rich,¡± The giant scorpion transformed into a human with a proud smile on his face. He was quite satisfied with his improvement this time. Seeing this, Qin Chen frowned, feeling very surprised. The roc¡¯s cultivation had only been at the Venerable realm when it was alive. Even if the power of its bloodline was strong, it should only slightly improve the scorpion¡¯s bloodline, not its cultivation level. This could only happen if the big scorpion could have broken through long ago, but had not broken through until now due to the limitations of its bloodline. The demon race was different from the human race. Their cultivation method was very crude. As long as one¡¯s bloodline was strong, one would practically have no bottlenecks. However, if one¡¯s bloodline was not strong enough, one would basically be stuck in one realm no matter how talented one was. The big scorpion might have been unable to break through due to its bloodline limit before this, As such, after its bloodline was upgraded, it broke through two minor realms in one go. Thinking of this, Qin Chen could not help but be shocked. To think the big scorpion could cultivate till it reached its bloodline¡¯s bottleneck. This showed how terrifying its talent was. If it was in the outside world, it would definitely become a genius of the demon race. After a night of rest, Qin Chen arrived at the blood-red desert the next morning. He was prepared to enter one of the nine forbidden grounds, the Demon Emperor Tomb. ¡°Kid, there¡¯s really no return if you enter. Are you really going?¡± The big scorpion asked. Qin Chen nodded. He had gone through so much to get here, so of course, he couldn¡¯t give up halfway. He said in a deep voice, ¡°I must go to the Demon Emperor Tomb.¡± ¡°Alright, I hope I won¡¯t pick up your corpse,¡± The big scorpion stretched lazily and lay down on a sand hill alone. Its eyes became lonely once more. After so many years, Qin Chen was the only one who had come here. Although the two of them had fought before, the big scorpion was still a little worried and disappointed when it saw that Qin Chen was preparing to enter the Demon Emperor Tomb. ¡°When I come back, I¡¯ll take you out of this damn place,¡± Qin Chen glanced at the big scorpion, then unleashed his Sagely might and wrapped his body with divine power. After that, he plunged into the blood-red desert and swam toward the depths. Watching Qin Chen disappear, the big scorpion suddenly stood up. Its expression became hesitant, but after a moment, it jumped into the blood-red desert as well. In the outside world, the God of the primordial sage race and the crazy old man had been fighting for two months in the depths of the starry sky. Who knew how many stars they had shattered? It was said that the residual power of the battle between the two had destroyed a major world in the depths of the starry sky. As for whether that was true or not, no one knew. On this day, the sky of the entire Canglan Continent was dyed blood-red, and a fireball fell from the sky, blowing up a mountain range in the land of the East Sea and igniting a monstrous fire. Countless experts went to investigate, but the power of the great path in the depths of the mountain stopped them. No one could see the true appearance of the fireball. What was even more shocking was that the fire carried by the fireball was a terrifying Dao fire. Even Sages couldn¡¯t put it out. The entire mountain range thus turned into an endless sea of fire. It was a terrifying sight. ¡°Human, there are still self-sealing experts in our races. Do you really want to exterminate us?¡± A shrill cry came from the starry sky as a divine soul flew rapidly into the depths of the East Sea under the escort of an ancient imperial weapon. However, at this moment, a sword with dragon engravings appeared in the sky and released extreme emperor¡¯s might to seal the space, leaving the divine soul with nowhere to escape. ¡°Primordial sage race, traitor! Kill without mercy!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the crazy old man took a step into the starry sky and appeared in the sky above the Canglan Continent. He raised his arm and slapped the ancient imperial weapon away, exposing the primordial sage race¡¯s God¡¯s soul. ¡°That¡¯s the God of the primordial sage race? Why is he in such a sorry state?¡± ¡°Even his physical body has been destroyed. How terrifying was the battle?¡± ¡°That guy sent an ancient imperial weapon flying with one slap! Is he a great emperor?¡± ¡°Since the human race has such a powerful expert, what grounds do the primordial sage race have to be arrogant?¡± ¡°What does the human race¡¯s God want to do? Could it be that he wants to kill the God of the primordial sage race?¡± Everyone¡¯s hearts were at their throats as they looked on in disbelief, not even daring to blink their eyes. ¡°Human, how dare you?!¡± In the depths of the East Sea, a furious roar came from the ancestral land of the primordial sage race. The two Supreme Sages worked together to strike out an ancient imperial weapon, trying to save their patriarch. However, they had only flown a short distance away from their race¡¯s ancestral land when they saw the crazy old man casting an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. With that, a terrifying emperor¡¯s might struck, and the sky of the East Sea was about to collapse. The two Supreme Sages of the primordial sage race died on the spot, and even their ancient imperial weapon was sent flying. ¡°Human, the experts of my race will never let you off!¡± The God of the primordial sage race roared. However, just as he finished speaking, the crazy old man reached out and grabbed his soul, then slashed horizontally with the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword. With a loud boom, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked. The God of the primordial sage race was annihilated. A God has died, and the great path let out sounds of misery as the ten thousand ancient races wept. ¡°To think the primordial sage race¡¯s God has died. The ten thousand ancient races vow to fight the human race to the death.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the human race¡¯s God too terrifying? How are we, the ten thousand ancient races, supposed to survive?¡± ¡°To think the ten thousand ancient races have lost a God the moment he was revived. How are we going to compete with the human race in the future?¡± ¡°How can we, the ten thousand ancient races, resist the might of a God? This is the heavenly tribulation on us!¡± After killing the God of the primordial sage race, the crazy old man was still not willing to stop. Holding the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword, he appeared in the sky above the ancestral land of the primordial sage race, preparing to destroy the entire race. The emperor¡¯s might erupted, and a tsunami was set off in the East Sea. All the living beings in the sea were trembling, and those who were closer were directly killed by the emperor¡¯s might, leaving behind pools of blood on the vast sea. Regardless of whether it was the human race or the ten thousand ancient races, they were all staring at the East Sea. They all wanted to know what would happen to the primordial sage race. If the race were to be exterminated, the human race would become the true master of this land. At this moment, a beam of golden light shot out from the ancestral land of the primordial sage race. A golden scroll flew into the sky and released a terrifying primordial imperial might. It was even more terrifying than an awakened ancient imperial weapon. ¡°Please, Sage Emperor Tai Yang!¡± A shout came from the ancestral land of the primordial sage race. Drops of blood flew out and landed on the golden scroll, releasing a monstrous pressure. Immediately after, an illusory yet imposing figure appeared in the sky. The primordial imperial might struck, and all the living beings on the Canglan Continent were suppressed to the ground to the point that they couldn¡¯t even lift their heads. The phantom recovered and became increasingly substantial. Everyone could only see his long robe fluttering in the air, but they couldn¡¯t see his face at all. It seemed that the moment they caught a glimpse of his face, they would forget it. ¡°Who dares to offend my race?¡± As soon as he spoke, the world trembled, and all living beings were suppressed to the ground. Chapter 165 - Sage Emperor Tai Yang ¡°My God, is this the power of a primordial emperor? To think the primordial sage race has such a powerful foundation. Can the God of the human race stop him?¡± ¡°This¡­ Is this really Sage Emperor Tai Yang? To think the primordial God had such a trump card!¡± ¡°Hahaha, the Sage Emperor Tai Yang is reviving. The human God is dead for sure.¡± ¡°I feel like my body is about to explode. So this is Sage Emperor Tai Yang, who was invincible in the primordial era? He¡¯s truly terrifying.¡± Everyone was exclaiming. They were all shocked by the might of the phantom. To be able to emit such might, it was Sage Emperor Tai Yang, who was worshipped by the ten thousand ancient races! The crazy old man stared at the illusory figure as his expression turned pained. His face contorted as he hollered, ¡°Dead. They¡¯re all dead. They¡¯re all dead! Primordial sage race, traitor! Kill without mercy!¡± As he said this, the crazy old man continued to revive the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. He still wanted to make a move against Sage Emperor Tai Yang. ¡°Human, how dare you provoke me!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang shouted coldly. His ancient imperial might enveloped the Canglan Continent. The power of his great path transformed into a cage, trapping the crazy old man within. The crazy old man didn¡¯t give up. He used all his strength to revive the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. With a swing of the sword, the heavens and earth lost their color. The great path buzzed, and cracks appeared on the cage before it shattered directly. A ripple spread out with the crazy old man as the center. Wherever it passed by, mountains and rivers shattered, and all living beings died! ¡°Is the human God going to destroy the Canglan Continent? This is a catastrophe!¡± Someone shouted. Seeing the aftermath still spreading, everyone revealed a look of despair. At that moment, Supreme Sage Qin Tian appeared in the sky above the Great Qin Dynasty. He shouted at all the living beings, ¡°Use all your extreme ancient weapons and seal the shockwaves! As soon as he finished speaking, a treasure bottle was activated in the Duanmu family. At the same time, five other extreme emperor weapons were also activated, suppressing the East Sea in an attempt to seal off the shockwaves from the battle between the old man and the phantom of Sage Emperor Tai Yang. The extreme emperor weapons buzzed. Under the control of the Supreme Sages, they could not even unleash 10% of their power. Even with six extreme emperor weapons, they were still unable to defend against the shockwaves from the battle between the crazy old man and the phantom of Sage Emperor Tai Yang. It seemed like the weapons were about to be sent flying. ¡°Ha!¡± With a shout, a divine iron rod flew out from Western Heaven. A battle sage ape was awakening. He wasn¡¯t Prince Zhan, but his cultivation was much more terrifying. He was a primordial God! The divine iron rod revived and released traces of unparalleled imperial might as if Emperor Dou Zhan who had dominated the primordial era had awakened and come into being with his divine iron rod. The battle sage ape race¡¯s primordial God revived the ancient imperial weapon and suppressed the East Sea with it. Only then did they manage to stop the shockwaves from the battle and seal the battle between the old man and the phantom of Sage Emperor Tai Yang in the East Sea. Not only that but the Heaven-devouring Emperor¡¯s bottle of the Duanmu family was also being revived. It brought all the Gods of the East Sea out so that they would not be locked up in there only to wait for death. ¡°Sage Emperor Tai Yang! Kill!¡± The crazy old man seemed to have regained a bit of consciousness. His eyes became bright and he snorted coldly. With the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword in his hand, he suppressed the myriad paths in the heavens and slashed out, wanting to shatter the phantom of Sage Emperor Tai Yang. ¡°Arrogant!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s illusory figure erupted forth with an emperor¡¯s might that towered up into the sky. He lifted his hand and sent out a palm strike toward the crazy old man. ¡°Kill!¡± The aura of the crazy old man became extremely sharp. Even when facing Sage Emperor Tai Yang, he still slashed out with his sword. In front of all the living beings, he shattered the projection of Sage Emperor Tai Yang with a single sword strike, causing the golden scroll to explode on the spot. ¡°To think the imperial ancestor of my race lost! How is this possible?¡± ¡°How could Sage Emperor Tai Yang be defeated?¡± ¡°Human, you¡¯re courting death. If Sage Emperor Tai Yang senses this, he will definitely cross the river of time and kill you!¡± A few roars were heard from within the primordial sage race. They were unwilling to accept this, and they couldn¡¯t believe it. How could a human God be so powerful that he could even shatter the phantom of Sage Emperor Tai Yang? The crazy old man looked at the primordial sage race¡¯s ancestral ground and shouted coldly, ¡°The primordial sage race has betrayed the nine Heavens and ten lands. Kill without mercy!¡± With a shout, the crazy old man was about to strike out once more. But at this moment, a beam of holy light shone down from the skies. A holy aura gushed forth as a gigantic hand stretched out from the light. ¡°Kill!¡± The crazy old man shouted and used all his strength to awaken the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. He then unleashed his emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and charged toward the giant hand. However, this gigantic hand was simply too terrifying. It was like the hand of Sage Emperor Tai Yang himself, stretching out from the primordial era and crossing through the river of time to descend into this world. It sent the crazy old man flying, causing him to cough out large mouthfuls of blood. The great path in his body was even shattered. ¡°Hm?¡± A surprised voice was heard. It seemed to be the voice of Sage Emperor Tai Yang himself. At this moment, a nine-colored divine cauldron suddenly appeared, exuding a monstrous pressure that suppressed the Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s hand. ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s expression changed. He struck out a ray of light with his large hand, protecting the entire ancestral land of the primordial sage race. Then, the nine-colored divine cauldron emitted a monstrous pressure and broke through the holy light before disappearing with the giant hand. Heaven and Earth once again returned to silence. The crazy old man¡¯s entire body was covered in blood. He still didn¡¯t give up and slashed out once more at the ancestral land of the primordial sage race with the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword. However, under the protection of Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s power, his sword could not create any ripples and could not hurt a single being from the primordial sage race. ¡°Primordial sage race, one day, I will definitely exterminate your entire race!¡± The crazy old man hollered and threw the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword toward the Great Qin Dynasty. After that, he darted into the void and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°Heavens! Isn¡¯t the human race¡¯s God too terrifying?! Even Sage Emperor Tai Yang couldn¡¯t kill him.¡± ¡°He said that the primordial sage race has betrayed the nine Heavens and ten lands. Is that true?¡± ¡°And that nine-colored divine cauldron, could it be the emperor weapon of the legendary Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? Could it be that the primordial emperors and the ancient great emperors aren¡¯t dead, and they¡¯re fighting in another world?¡± ¡°Not only is the primordial sage race a traitor, but they¡¯re even still at war with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Who can tell me what secret is hidden in this?¡± The people mumbled, feeling that their brains were not enough to process what had happened today. It was too terrifying. After the crazy old man left, the God of the battle sage ape race put away the divine iron rod and remained silent in Western Heaven as if it had never been born. The human Supreme Sages did the same, putting away their extreme Emperor weapons and returning the continent to its peaceful state. However, at this moment, who could remain calm in the Canglan Continent? In the blood-colored desert where the Demon Emperor Tomb was buried, Qin Chen dived into the desert like a fish. He had been diving for a few days now, but the desert seemed to have no bottom. He could not see the end of it. As for the entrance to the Demon Emperor Tomb, he had no idea where it was. ¡°It can¡¯t be that the big scorpion is lying to me and the Demon Emperor Tomb isn¡¯t even under here, right?¡± Qin Chen muttered, suspecting that he had been deceived. After all, with his speed, he should be reaching the bottom of even the deepest ocean by now. Just as Qin Chen was suspecting the big scorpion¡¯s words, a wave of energy came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the big scorpion! ¡°Why is he here?¡± Qin Chen let out a soft cry, then swam towards the big scorpion. When he arrived in front of the big scorpion, a smile suddenly appeared on the latter¡¯s face, and it sent a palm toward Qin Chen. Chapter 166 - The Demon Emperors Palace Qin Chen was shocked. He immediately used the Thirty-three Heavens to protect himself and awakened his Chaotic Holy Body, punching at the scorpion. The big scorpion quickly retreated, distancing itself from Qin Chen. Then, it transformed back into its original form and raised its pincers to smash at Qin Chen. Perhaps because of the improvement in its cultivation, the big scorpion was much more stronger than before. If the force of this attack landed on Qin Chen, even if he had the Chaotic Holy Body, he would have been seriously injured. However, the big scorpion¡¯s weakness was also very obvious. Although its cultivation realm was high, it knew very little supernormal knowledge. Once Qin Chen used Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it would instantly fall into a disadvantage. ¡°Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon!¡± With a shout, the dragon might attacked. Qin Chen controlled 108 streaks of dragon qi and attacked the big scorpion. However, what surprised Qin Chen was that the big scorpion did not show any fear in the face of the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon¡¯s dragon might. One should know that this move had always been its nemesis! The Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon pierced through the scorpion¡¯s body, but not only was it unscathed, it even took the opportunity to strike with its iron pincers, sending Qin Chen flying. Fortunately, he had the Thirty-three Heavens to protect him. However, Qin Chen could not figure out why the Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon did not work. Since when did the big scorpion become so strong? While Qin Chen was deep in thought, the big scorpion attacked again. Every attack was aimed at Qin Chen¡¯s vital parts, forcing him into a pinch several times. ¡°Brat! Brat! What¡¯s wrong with you, kid?¡± A voice faintly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s ears. It sounded like the big scorpion¡¯s voice, but the strange thing was that the big scorpion was right in front of him and had never spoken. ¡°You¡¯re not the big scorpion!¡± Qin Chen shouted. Whether it was in terms of strength or the degree of eerieness, the one fighting him was definitely not the big scorpion he knew. The big scorpion still didn¡¯t say anything. It raised its iron pincers high, but just as they were about to fall, its body suddenly became illusionary. In the end, it shattered and turned into dust. Before Qin Chen could react, everything around him changed. He was still in the blood-red desert, but the difference was that there was a light shield in the distance. Inside the light shield was an underground palace. The underground palace was extremely large and magnificent. It was very likely to be the legendary Demon Emperor Tomb. ¡°Brat! Brat! Why are you still not awake?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s voice came from beside him. A ball of Dao fire was lit in its palm, helping Qin Chen to dispel the blood sand that was constantly gathering around him. Looking at the big scorpion, Qin Chen was confused and asked, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± The big scorpion cried out in surprise and revealed a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to take me away from this damn place? The Demon Emperor Tomb is so dangerous. If you die, who will take me out?¡± Qin Chen did not expect that the big scorpion would step into the dangerous place that it had not dared to enter for tens of thousands of years just for him. He could not help but feel some warmth in his heart. He patted his chest and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get you out of here.¡± The big scorpion coughed and its expression was a little awkward, ¡°I¡¯ve been trapped here for so many years. In fact, I¡¯ve long wanted to come down and take a look. I originally wanted to let you explore the way, but I didn¡¯t expect that you couldn¡¯t even resist the illusion of the blood sand!¡± ¡°An illusion!¡± Qin Chen suddenly realized that he had probably been under an illusion a long time ago. That was why he had no idea that the Demon Emperor Tomb was right in front of him. The big scorpion that he had fought with before had also appeared because of the illusion. It had to be said that this illusion was really powerful. Even Qin Chen had fallen for it unknowingly. If it wasn¡¯t for the big scorpion, he would probably be immersed in the illusion forever, and the consequences would be unimaginable. However, Qin Chen was still puzzled. He had been so careful, but he still fell for the illusion, so how did the big scorpion break the blood-sand illusion? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get affected by the blood-sand illusion?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°I¡¯m a Supreme Sage. How can a mere blood-sand illusion fool my sharp eyes? As soon as I entered the blood sand, I discovered something fishy,¡± The big scorpion had a proud look on its face, and the corners of its mouth were almost raised to the sky. Qin Chen was speechless. He naturally did not believe the big scorpion¡¯s words, but he had obtained an important piece of information from his words. He said in a deep voice, ¡°So, you already knew about the existence of the blood-sand illusion?¡± ¡°O¡­ Of course not. I only noticed it after I entered the blood sand,¡± After being exposed by Qin Chen, the big scorpion started to stammer. Even so, it did not tell the truth. Instead, it steeled itself and quibbled. Qin Chen ignored his explanation and continued to ask, ¡°How did you know? What else do you know?¡± Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s reaction, the big scorpion lost its confidence and explained, ¡°Although I¡¯ve never entered this place before, I¡¯ve long come into contact with the blood sand. Back then, I was trapped in the illusion for several years before I managed to come out, so I took some precautions when I came down, which is why I didn¡¯t fall into the illusion this time.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about the blood-sand illusion when I came down?¡± Qin Chen growled and glared at the big scorpion, looking very angry. The big scorpion hurriedly explained, ¡°You came down too quickly. Besides, I thought you could sense the illusion by yourself. Who knew that you were not as powerful as I thought?¡± Ever since it was beaten by Qin Chen, the big scorpion had always regarded him as someone who was far more powerful than itself. But now, it seemed that it had overestimated Qin Chen. It could not help but feel a little disappointed. After all, it was still hoping that Qin Chen would bring him out. Qin Chen did not make things difficult for the big scorpion. Instead, he looked down at the underground palace and asked, ¡°Do you know how to enter?¡± The big scorpion shook its head and said words of retreat, ¡°The Demon Emperor Tomb is extremely dangerous. There must be many traps like the blood-sand illusion in there. Are you really going to enter?¡± ¡°I must go in,¡± Qin Chen said in a low voice, showing his determination. However, he also became more careful. After all, if he fell into a trap again, no one would be able to save him. After diving next to the light shield, Qin Chen did not enter rashly. Instead, he carefully extended his arm to test it. With a ¡°poof¡±, his palm passed through the light shield without any resistance. ¡°I¡¯ll go in and take a look!¡± Qin Chen said and passed through the light shield. A beam of light suddenly hit him, stunning him. When he opened his eyes again, he was already outside the underground palace. [Ding¨C] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: you can repeatedly check in here!] The system¡¯s cold voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. He raised his head and looked at the majestic underground Palace. To his surprise, he saw two large words: Demon Emperor! Chapter 167 - Entering the Underground Palace Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. With the system¡¯s notification, he could confirm that he had arrived at the Demon Emperor Tomb! Just as he was about to call the big scorpion, he turned around and saw that he was in a boundless void. He could not see the big scorpion or the light barrier at all. ¡°Big scorpion?¡± Qin Chen shouted but received no response. He stepped into the void and flew into the distance. However, what was unbelievable was that no matter how fast or how far he flew, he would find that he was still outside the underground palace when he turned around. This immediately made Qin Chen¡¯s hair stand on end and he broke out in cold sweat. ¡°Could this be a restriction set up by the Demon Emperor?¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself as he placed a palm in the air. Through his Chaotic Holy Body, he could sense that subtle laws were operating. Such power could only be mastered by Gods, and other than the Demon Emperor, there was probably no one else who could set up a restriction here. Being trapped here, Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. If he could not find a way out, he would have to stay here for hundreds or even tens of thousands of years until he broke through to the God realm and broke the restriction. Just as Qin Chen was feeling vexed, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and laughed, ¡°Wow! So this is the Demon Emperor Tomb. Hahaha, as expected of the demon race¡¯s great emperor. This underground palace is really magnificent.¡± The big scorpion praised and stared at the underground palace. After a long time, it finally saw Qin Chen standing at the side and laughed, ¡°Kid, I knew you were still alive. Tell me, did you find any treasures? A primordial dragon had been among those who entered the Demon Emperor Tomb. It¡¯s been so many years, but I haven¡¯t found his body. Did you find anything here?¡± Qin Chen was speechless. To think the first thing this guy did after coming to the Demon Emperor Tomb was to look for a corpse. What a weirdo. He said in a low voice, ¡°You should worry about how to get out first!¡± ¡°How to get out?¡± The big scorpion was puzzled. It turned around and was shocked to see the endless void. Just like Qin Chen, it tried to fly into the void. However, no matter how far it flew, it would still find itself in front of the underground palace when it turned around. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen with a puzzled expression. Qin Chen clenched his palm and explained, ¡°This should be a restriction set up by the Demon Emperor so that those who enter will never return.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no return!¡± The big scorpion cried out in alarm. It was so frightened that it trembled. However, it still did not give up and flew into the void again. It refused to turn back no matter what. Even so, it would still appear in front of the underground palace again in half an hour. ¡°We¡¯re finished. We¡¯re both going to die here,¡± The big scorpion sat on the ground and sighed. At this point, there was no point in complaining. Qin Chen looked at the underground palace and strode over. Since he was already here, he might as well go in and take a look. Moreover, the divinity in the underground palace was definitely much richer than outside. He could definitely get better treasures by checking in inside. When the big scorpion saw this, it did not hesitate to follow Qin Chen. After all, it had no way out now. If it did not follow Qin Chen, it would probably die here. It had already lived alone for countless years. Rather than waiting for death, it might as well follow Qin Chen to the underground palace. The two of them came to the surroundings of the underground palace and saw a straight and towering heavenly ladder. At a glance, there were at least 10000 steps on the heavenly ladder. Looking up, they could see that the end of the ladder led to the main hall of the underground palace. Qin Chen and big scorpion wanted to fly up directly, but due to the restrictions in the underground palace, they could only walk up step by step. Looking at the tens of thousands of steps, their expressions turned unsightly. Fifteen minutes later, Qin Chen and the big scorpion finally reached the top with great effort. Although one of them was a Sage King and the other was a Supreme Sage, they were still sweating and breathing heavily because of the heavenly ladder. ¡°Huhuhu, old ancestor, although we demons have strong bodies, you¡¯ve set up a heavenly level with 99999 steps and a small scorpion like me can¡¯t take it at all!¡± The big scorpion lay on the last step and complained to the Demon Emperor while panting. Although the demon race looked like they were constantly fighting and devouring each other, they were actually very united. That was why the big scorpion called the Demon Emperor ¡°ancestor¡±. Qin Chen let out a breath of hot air, pushed open the door of the main hall, and carefully walked in. The main hall was resplendent with gold and jade. Every brick and tile was made of precious divine materials. The main hall was huge, several times larger than the Taiyi Main Hall. In the center of the hall were nine golden steps with a portrait hanging at the end of them. In the portrait was a back figure. It was so vivid that it was as if someone was really standing there. ¡°Could this figure be the Demon Emperor?¡± The big scorpion cried out in surprise and walked over with large strides. It wanted to walk up the steps to take a closer look, but it had only just stepped onto the first step when it felt a terrifying pressure. It had no choice but to retreat. Qin Chen also walked over. Looking at the nine golden steps, his eyes focused and he also took a step up. A terrifying pressure hit him. Qin Chen felt as if he was carrying a towering mountain on his back, and the muscles on his body bulged. Facing such pressure, Qin Chen wanted to use the spiritual energy in his body to resist it, but he found out that he could not do so at all. He could only walk up with his physical strength. With such a test here, there must be a huge opportunity up there! Qin Chen had the Holy Chaotic Body, so he was very confident in his physical body. He took two steps forward and reached the third step. As the pressure hit him, Qin Chen felt as if he was carrying a towering mountain on his back and walking in the face of a tsunami. Every step was difficult and he could not move an inch. ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Chen grunted and took three more steps, reaching the sixth step of the golden steps. The pressure on the sixth step was even more terrifying. It was like walking on the tip of a blade while carrying a mountain on one¡¯s back. Even a Supreme Sage¡¯s body would explode under such pressure. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s forehead covered in sweat and his pained expression, the big scorpion shouted from below the steps, ¡°Kid, that¡¯s enough. It¡¯s not worth it to risk your life just to see the back of the Demon Emperor!¡± Qin Chen was speechless. He was doing this for the opportunity at the end of the steps. Naturally, he would not give up halfway. He gritted his teeth and walked up to the eighth step. The eighth step was like hell. It was as if he was constantly being burned by endless hellfire. Qin Chen was drenched in sweat and his bones were creaking. His Chaotic Holy Body was fully activated and was emitting an aura of ten thousand paths. Qin Chen looked at the ninth step, which was right before him, and breathed out large mouthfuls of hot air. Blue veins popped out on his forehead. With a roar, he took a step forward and stepped onto the last golden step. For a moment, the nine steps emitted a dazzling light. The light poured into Qin Chen¡¯s body, and the portrait hanging in front actually moved at this time. Chapter 168 - Power of God: The Rule of Force Qin Chen stared at the back of the figure in the portrait. The figure slowly turned around, but the power of the great path surrounded his body, making it impossible for Qin Chen to see his face clearly. The figure clenched his fist and his body emitted endless blood energy. With a punch, all the paths in the universe trembled, the void shattered, and everything turned into nothingness. With a sudden jolt, Qin Chen came back to his senses. The golden light had already faded, and the portrait had returned to normal as if it had never moved. However, Qin Chen had comprehended the extreme of the physical body, the rule of force, from that punch. Although he had not fully comprehended it, he could feel that his combat strength had improved. ¡°Kid, what treasure did you get?¡± The big scorpion asked with a face full of curiosity. It wanted to know what benefits Qin Chen had obtained after causing such a huge commotion. Qin Chen didn¡¯t speak. Instead, he imitated the figure and clenched his fist. With a trace of the rule of force, he turned around and punched out. The fist momentum was monstrous. Even without using a trace of divine power, it still shattered the void and created a terrifying fist wind, which cracked the floor made of divine materials. ¡°Gulp, to think it¡¯s a rule that even I haven¡¯t come into contact with yet, and it¡¯s the top-tier rule of force. This kid has really struck it rich. No, I need to go up and comprehend the rule of force as well,¡± The big scorpion growled. Its eyes became determined as it strode toward the golden steps. However, this time, the golden steps did not give off any pressure, and it only took two breaths for the big scorpion to reach the ninth step. ¡°Where¡¯s my rule of force?¡± The big scorpion looked left and right, almost burning the hanging portrait with its gaze, but it still did not obtain the rule of force that it had been thinking about. Qin Chen ignored it and looked at his fist with a look of relief. For him to have comprehended the rule of force this time was a pleasant surprise. One must know that the power of rules was something that only the Gods could master. Now that Qin Chen had comprehended the rule of force, it would be a piece of cake for him to break through to the God realm in the future. ¡°Demon Emperor ancestor, I¡¯m a demon. Why did you give the rule of force to this kid?¡± The big scorpion was full of complaints. Seeing how happy Qin Chen was, it became even angrier. It searched around the hall, trying to find the inheritance and treasures left behind by the demon Emperor. ¡°System, check in here,¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. This was already the depths of the Demon Emperor Tomb, one of the places with the strongest divinity. He decided to check in here. [Ding!] [Congratulations to the host. You have checked in at the land left behind by the demon race¡¯s Azure Emperor. You have obtained the reward improvement by one level!] The system¡¯s voice resounded in his mind, and before he could react, his cultivation had improved by one level, reaching the peak of the Sage King realm. Qin Chen¡¯s face was filled with surprise, and then unbridled joy. Although it was only one level, such an advancement without a need for cultivation was simply an enjoyable free gift. Moreover, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it would be to advance. Qin Chen thought that he would need at least two years to break through, but he never expected that he would break through now. The big scorpion also sensed Qin Chen¡¯s aura and muttered unhappily, ¡°What kind of treasure did this brat find this time? To think it can raise his cultivation level by one minor realm. Demon Emperor, you¡¯re being too unfair.¡± After saying that, the big scorpion busied itself with searching around. It didn¡¯t let go of any small corners. However, after searching for several hours, it didn¡¯t even find a single pill, let alone a treasure. At this time, Qin Chen had already stabilized his realm. After glancing at the bitter-looking big scorpion, he walked toward the side hall on the left. When the big scorpion saw this, it naturally followed, ¡°Kid, the Demon Emperor is the ancestor of the demon race. Now that you¡¯ve already gained a lot of benefits, shouldn¡¯t you give any benefits you gain later to me, the successor of the Demon Emperor?¡± Hearing the big scorpion¡¯s words, Qin Chen looked puzzled and asked, ¡°The Demon Emperor¡¯s successor?¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve been serving the Demon Emperor here for tens of thousands of years, am I not considered the Demon Emperor¡¯s successor? So, you should give me all the treasures you get later,¡± The big scorpion said shamelessly. ¡°Since you¡¯re the Demon Emperor¡¯s successor, why don¡¯t you go ahead and explore the way?¡± Qin Chen was speechless, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t want any of the treasures to fall into my hands.¡± The big scorpion shrank back. It didn¡¯t dare to explore the way. After all, what if there was danger? It didn¡¯t want to die here after living cautiously for 10000 years. Seeing the big scorpion¡¯s expression, Qin Chen found it quite amusing. He ignored it and continued to walk towards the side hall. According to what Qin Chen had seen from the outside, there should be four main halls in the underground palace. They were the main hall in the north, the side halls in the east and west, and the back hall in the south. Other than these four halls, there were also many other buildings of different sizes. Currently, Qin Chen was heading to the east hall. Pushing open the door, Qin Chen and the big scorpion walked in. The east hall was smaller than the main hall, and there were many scrolls inside. They might be cultivation and martial arts techniques. In the deepest part of the east hall were three weapon racks. The weapons on two of the racks were gone, and only a large saber was left on the middle rack. ¡°Haha! I knew there would be a treasure! Looking at the array text on this saber, it must be a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon! It¡¯s mine! It¡¯s mine! You can¡¯t snatch it from me!¡± The big scorpion ran over, rolled up its sleeves, and walked toward the big saber. However, as soon as it got close, the weapon rack exuded Sagely might and turned into a humanoid creature. The creature held the big saber in its hands and said emotionlessly, ¡°Defeat me and you can get a divine weapon.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just an inanimate object. Watch how I beat you up!¡± The big scorpion sneered and didn¡¯t take the humanoid creature seriously. It threw a powerful punch, but when its fist landed on the humanoid creature, the big scorpion was shocked. It was like its fist had hit divine material, and it couldn¡¯t hurt the humanoid creature at all. The humanoid creature moved as well and delivered a clean punch. With that, the big scorpion was sent flying, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of its mouth. It had clearly been injured. The big scorpion got up from the ground and cursed, ¡°Demon Emperor, you¡¯re too cruel. How do you expect me to get the saber by leaving such a thing behind?¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to interfere. After all, if the big scorpion used its full strength, it might be able to defeat the humanoid creature. But at this moment, the humanoid creature suddenly looked over. It took a step forward at an extreme speed and arrived in front of Qin Chen in the blink of an eye. It clenched its fist and was ready to attack Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen was even faster. The Chaotic Holy Body was awakened, and the rule of force circulated. He punched out, and the humanoid creature¡¯s chest caved in before flying backward and crashing into the wall. Just when Qin Chen thought it was over, the humanoid creature suddenly stood up and charged at him again with its saber. Chapter 169 - An Unprecedented Check The human-shaped creature exuded a golden Sagely might. It was actually reviving the broadsword in its hand and the broadsword exuded a Supreme Sage might. Qin Chen was surprised. The human-shaped creature had no signs of life, so he didn¡¯t expect it could use a Supreme Sage weapon. This was simply just strange. At this moment, the human-shaped creature activated the Supreme Sage weapon and slashed at Qin Chen. With the enhancement of the weapon, the power of this attack reached the full power of a Supreme Sage. If he was hit, even Qin Chen would not be able to withstand it. Facing such a powerful attack, Qin Chen did not dare to underestimate it. His eyes focused, and he activated his Chqtic Holy Body. He struck out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist and fused it with a trace of the rule of force, making its power even more terrifying. The punch directly scattered the golden light emitted by the human-shaped living being. The Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist then landed on the human-shaped creature¡¯s left shoulder. With a clang as if two pieces of chaotic divine metal clashed, the human-shaped creature¡¯s arm was cut off and sent flying. It was knocked back and once sent into the wall made of divine materials. The big scorpion was shocked by Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength. Such a terrifying punch could kill him directly. One should know that this kid was only a Sage King! Creak! Creak! The human-shaped creature moved its dented and bent body and got up again. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He couldn¡¯t help but be curious. How did a human-shaped creature come into being? Wasn¡¯t it a tad too solid?! ¡°Damn, this thing is too sturdy!¡± The big scorpion cried out in alarm. The human-shaped creature began to move again. Even though it had lost an arm, its speed did not decrease. It charged over again with his large saber. Qin Chen took out the Sage-slaying Bow and nocked the Sage-slaying arrow. The Sage runes were activated, and the arrowhead glowed with golden light. He shot the arrow and pierced the human-shaped creature¡¯s head. However, even though its head had been split open, the human-shaped creature did not stop. It still came to Qin Chen and slashed out without any emotion. Qin Chen used the Thirty-three Heavens to defend himself, blocking the attack. Then, he quickly struck out with his palm, beheading the human-shaped creature. After losing its head, the human-shaped creature finally stopped moving. The saber left its hand and floated in the air. The divinity of the human-shaped creature disappeared, and it lay powerlessly on the ground. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes were burning as it looked at the big blade. It forced a smile at Qin Chen and said, ¡°Kid, you already have so many treasures. Since I¡¯m the successor of the Demon God, please give this one to me!¡± Qin Chen rolled his eyes. However, he wasn¡¯t really interested in the saber. Although it was a Supreme Sage weapon, he didn¡¯t like using sabers. Thus, he threw it to the big scorpion. ¡°Haha, I knew you would have a conscience. I didn¡¯t risk my life to accompany you to the Demon Emperor Tomb in vain,¡± The big scorpion was overjoyed, fondling the saber fondly. It kept praising Qin Chen for being loyal and a good friend. Qin Chen ignored the scorpion and moved the headless body of the human-shaped creature to the side. He really wanted to know how the creature was made. Not only did it have extremely strong combat power, but it also had incredible vitality. If it could be mass-produced, it could allow him to defeat any faction on the Canglan Continent. The big scorpion walked over and saw that Qin Chen was actually studying the creature¡¯s corpse. It showed a look of disgust and clicked its tongue, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a fetish.¡± Qin Chen was speechless. What was in this guy¡¯s head? Could it be that it became a retard after staying here for 10000 years? ¡°This should be a puppet,¡± Qin Chen said in a deep voice, ¡°If I can find a way to make it, I can make an army of puppets when we get out. By then, it will be enough to conquer the entire nine Heavens and ten lands.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the big scorpion was tempted. It squatted, its face almost touching the ground, and looked at the puppet¡¯s corpse carefully. With a thought, Qin Chen stored the human-shaped puppet¡¯s corpse in his spatial artifact, preparing to take it out and study it carefully then. However, his action caused the big scorpion to be dissatisfied, and it chattered, ¡°Half of the puppet is mine. If you can figure out the method to make them, you¡¯ll have to make a hundred for me.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Qin Chen spat out these two words and walked towards the back hall in the south without looking back. The big scorpion followed beside him and bargained with him along the way. Unable to withstand the big scorpion¡¯s coaxing and pestering, Qin Chen finally compromised. If he really managed to learn the method to make the human-shaped puppet, he could help the big scorpion make one, but the premise was that the latter had to pay for the materials. The two of them arrived at the back hall, where the door was tightly shut. Qin Chen tried to push the door open but found that he couldn¡¯t. Even after using the rule of force, he still couldn¡¯t open the door. Helplessly, Qin Chen and the big scorpion could only head to the side palace on the west. Arriving at the west hall, Qin Chen was shocked to find that the place was exactly the same as the east hall. If not for the fact that one was facing east and the other was facing west, Qin Chen would have suspected that he had fallen into an illusion again. When they pushed open the door, a medicinal fragrance wafted out. Qin Chen and the big scorpion walked in to find many pill bottles on the ground, as well as rotten pills scattered all over the place. In the depths of the hall was a golden pill floating in a golden transparent ball of light. The pill¡¯s fragrance was very mesmerizing. Qin Chen was very familiar with it. It was the Supreme Sage pill that he had once obtained from checking in. However, the quality of this Supreme Sage pill was obviously higher than the one he had obtained from checking in. It should be of the peerless grade. If he ate it, not only could it improve his cultivation, but it could probably also save his life at a critical moment. Chapter 170 - An Unprecedented Check ¡°Haha, treasure, another treasure,¡± The big scorpion laughed, drooling all over the ground. However, with the previous lesson, it did not attack rashly. Instead, it looked at Qin Chen, who was at the side, wanting him to take the lead. Qin Chen raised his brows and carefully walked toward the Supreme Sage pill. He slowly reached out his hand toward the transparent ball of light and held his breath, constantly on guard against his surroundings. However, nothing unusual happened even after he took the Supreme Sage pill. The big scorpion was dumbfounded, and its mentality instantly collapsed. It shouted, ¡°Ancestor, are you kidding me? When I went to get the treasure, you gave me an undefeatable human-shaped puppet, but nothing happened to this kid when he went to get the treasure?! This is too much!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect things to go so smoothly either. He looked at the Supreme grade Supreme Sage pill in his hand and smiled. In front of the big scorpion, he put it into the spatial artifact. The big scorpion was so angry that it cursed a string of profanities and regretted its earlier hesitance. At the same time, the Demon Emperor Tomb started shaking. A loud noise was heard, followed by a strong smell of blood. Qin Chen and the big scorpion looked into the distance with vigilance. They saw a red light shining from the back hall in the south before disappearing quickly. Then, except for the pungent smell of blood, everything was calm again. ¡°Did something come out? Such a strong smell of blood¡­ How many people have died?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly. It couldn¡¯t help but think of the people who had come to the Demon Emperor Tomb. At that time, hundreds of people had come to the Demon Emperor Tomb. Among them were experts from the demon races and the human race. All of them had very strong cultivation. Even the weakest was a Venerable, and many were in the Supreme Sage realm. There were even Shifang Gods, which were above the three Jiutian Sages. Yet, even with such a powerful lineup, they did not come out alive in the end. Instead, blood dyed the endless desert red. Thinking of this, the big scorpion shrunk its neck and hid behind Qin Chen. It looked in the direction of the ancient palace with fear and had the urge to retreat. Qin Chen also frowned. Something must be wrong if things were abnormal. Something extraordinary must have appeared with such a heavy stench of blood. He looked in the direction of the back hall and walked over with a serious expression. When the two of them arrived at the back hall, they found that the door was wide open. However, the hall was shrouded in a mass of demonic energy, so they couldn¡¯t see what was inside. At this place, the smell of blood was even stronger. Even a bloodthirsty demon like the big scorpion said with an ugly expression, ¡°Brat, this place is obviously dangerous. Let¡¯s think of a way to leave as soon as possible.¡± [Ding!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered ahead!] The system¡¯s voice rang in Qin Chen¡¯s ears. Qin Chen was shocked and he muttered in his heart, ¡°System, how strong is the divinity in there?¡± [It is the place with the strongest divinity among the places that the host has checked into so far.] Qin Chen was shocked. Could it be that the hall¡¯s divinity was even stronger than the divinity in the great emperor¡¯s palace? ¡°I want to go in and take a look!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were firm as he looked at the back hall with determination. ¡°What? You still want to go in?¡± The big scorpion was shocked and looked at Qin Chen in disbelief, ¡°Kid, I know you¡¯re very powerful, but do you know? In the past, even Shifang Gods had come to the Demon Emperor Tomb and never returned. Listen to my advice. We should think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible!¡± Qin Chen shook his head. Never mind the fact he had no way to leave this place, even if he did, he had to go in and take a look. After all, he had already arrived at the door. It was not worth it to leave just like that. ¡°Let¡¯s rest for the night and go in tomorrow!¡± With a deep grunt, Qin Chen sat down cross-legged in front of the back hall and began to cultivate quietly, no longer paying attention to the big scorpion at the side. The reason why he decided to go in tomorrow was that he had already used his check-in opportunity today. Otherwise, he would not have the patience to wait here. ¡°Brat, if you want to send yourself to death here, I won¡¯t accompany you,¡± The big scorpion snorted coldly. It was timid, to begin with, so it naturally did not dare to stay here and take the risk. After leaving behind these words, it walked back to the place where he came from, wanting to leave. Qin Chen didn¡¯t ask the big scorpion to stay. After all, he only wanted to go into the back hall to check-in. The big scorpion didn¡¯t need to take the risk with him. There was no sun or moon in the Demon Emperor Tomb, nor was there a way to calculate time. If it were someone else, they would probably have forgotten the time. However, Qin Chen would not. With the system, he could know the time whenever he wanted. The first day had just passed when the system¡¯s check-in count was updated in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. He abruptly opened his eyes and stared at the back hall with a determined look on his face. He was ready to enter now. The back hall, which was shrouded in demonic energy, was like the huge mouth of an abyss. The nauseating smell of blood had not yet dissipated. Even an expert like Qin Chen felt a little creeped out. He decided that he would leave immediately after checking in. Just as Qin Chen was about to enter, the big scorpion suddenly appeared behind him and asked, ¡°Kid, do you really want to go in? It¡¯s obvious that this place isn¡¯t a good place to go. God knows what¡¯s inside.¡± ¡°Yes, I want to go in and take a look. I might be able to find a way out in there!¡± Qin Chen smiled. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the big scorpion, he had deliberately said that he would find a way out in there. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes darkened. It looked in the direction where it had come from and felt a little regretful. If it had not come here, it would have only needed to cultivate for another tens of thousands of years to break through to the God realm. By then, even the demonic wind in the desert would not be able to stop it. However, now that it had come here with Qin Chen, it was afraid that it would die if it was not careful. And now, Qin Chen insisted on going to the back hall, which would lead to almost certain death. However, if he died inside, how long could it live alone? The big scorpion¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts, and it looked very hesitant. It gritted its teeth for a moment, then shook its head and sighed. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be. Qin Chen ignored the big scorpion and turned to head to the back hall. However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the big scorpion. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll go with you!¡± The big scorpion gritted its teeth and finally decided to go with Qin Chen. Qin Chen frowned. The level of danger inside was unknown, and he did not want the big scorpion to risk it. He said, ¡°It¡¯s very dangerous inside, are you sure you want to go?¡± The big scorpion was very decisive this time. It nodded and replied, ¡°Yes. If you die, I won¡¯t be able to leave this place alone either. In that case, I might as well go with you. What if we can find a way out?¡± Since the big scorpion was so determined, Qin Chen did not say anything more. He let out a breath of hot air, and a monstrous Sagely might exploded from his body. He circulated the Thirty0three Heavens and brought the big scorpion into the back hall. The big scorpion was vigilant as if it was facing a great enemy. It held the Supreme Sage weapon that it had just obtained and followed behind Qin Chen, trembling. The two of them walked into the back hall, and the demonic energy everywhere attacked them. Qin Chen circulated the Thirty-three Heavens with all his might, protecting the big scorpion behind him and blocking the demonic energy. Without any hesitation, Qin Chen muttered in his heart, ¡°System, I want to check in!¡± [Ding!] [Check-in failed! Reason: Due to the interference of demonic energy, divinity can not be gathered.] ¡°Check-in failed?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed. Such a system check-in failure had never happened before. It could only mean that this back hall was not simple. The system did not respond to Qin Chen and fell into dead silence. At this moment, two balls of red light suddenly appeared in the dark demonic energy. Upon closer inspection, it was a pair of demonic eyes! Chapter 171 - The Green Lotus of Creation ¡°What the hell is this?!¡± The big scorpion hid behind Qin Chen and pointed at the demonic eye with a frightened expression. Qin Chen looked over and saw a pair of demonic eyes hanging in the sky like two blood Suns. It was inexplicably and eerily demonic. Even he felt like his mind was slipping when he looked at it. Boom! The Chaotic Holy Body activated automatically, and his Chaotic Divine Power surged and circulated, immediately isolating the aura of the demonic eye. Only then did Qin Chen come back to his senses. However, the big scorpion beside him was still in a trance and walked toward the demonic energy. Qin Chen frowned and grabbed the big scorpion back. He then activated the Desolate Divine Halberd that released wisps of quasi-emperor aura, dispersing the demonic power of the demonic eye. With that, the big scorpion also regained its consciousness. ¡°This¡­ This is too terrifying! Are these the eyes of a demon god?¡± The big scorpion said with a lingering fear. It had just seen something very terrifying. If Qin Chen had not pulled it back, its mind would have been devoured and it would have become a walking corpse. ¡°Oh? The Chaotic Holy Body has reappeared. Are you the descendant of that person?¡± An alluring voice resounded in the hall as the demonic eye looked over. Qin Chen¡¯s pupils constricted and all the hair on his body stood on end as a boundless terrifying pressure assaulted him. It was as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric great beast. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen growled and immediately used the Thirty-three heavens to protect himself. He even took the initiative to strike out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. After dispersing the layers of demonic energy in front of him, he tried to leave with the big scorpion. ¡°You want to leave? It¡¯s too late!¡± The demonic eye spoke again, and the endless demonic energy became even more terrifying, enveloping Qin Chen. Darkness fell, interfering with the two¡¯s sense of direction. They could not find the direction of the door at all. It could even be said that this place had become a world of the demonic path. ¡°What do we do?¡± The big scorpion asked. Qin Chen frowned. He was starting to regret thinking that he was capable enough to come here. He could feel the terror of the demonic eye such that it was as if it could kill him with a single breath. It was even stronger than the Supreme Sage realm. Could it be that the eye was an existence above the three Jiutian Sages realms, just like the old lunatic? Looking at the demonic energy everywhere, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes focused and he unleashed the Chaotic Holy Body with all his might. Based on the previous exchange, he discovered that the Chaotic Holy Body had a restraining effect on the demonic energy. This was also the main reason why they had not been devoured by the demonic energy yet. However, there was simply too much demonic energy. If they continued to stay here, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the two of them would be completely devoured by the demonic energy. The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen¡¯s serious face and understood the current situation. He suddenly said, ¡°We are not far from the door. Since your physique can dispel the demonic energy, I will stall the demonic eye while you rush out with all your might!¡± Hearing the big scorpion¡¯s words, Qin Chen¡¯s face was filled with surprise. He did not expect that the big scorpion, who had always been afraid of death, would actually take the initiative to sacrifice its life to fight for a way out for him! Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s expression, the big scorpion smiled and said, ¡°I actually had a younger brother, but he died. A long time ago, a group of people came and captured my brother to force him to bring them into the Demon Emperor Tomb. Back then, because I was timid, I didn¡¯t even have the courage to save him. I could only watch as he was captured and brought into the Demon Emperor Tomb.¡± The smile on the big scorpion¡¯s face turned into despair as it continued, ¡°After they went into the Demon Emperor Tomb, I have been guarding outside. Even when the blood-red desert appeared, I didn¡¯t dare to go and go look for my brother. Until I met you. I still can¡¯t believe that you dared to barge into the Demon Emperor Tomb alone. You gave me the courage. I don¡¯t want to see you die, and I don¡¯t want to live a cowardly life. So, just do as I say!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s face showed a look of determination. It unleashed all its strength, and a golden light was emitted all over his body. It released the aura of a Supreme Sage without reservation. It stared at the demonic eye shrouded in demonic energy. Then, as if it saw something, it suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Little brother, big brother is here.¡± With that, the big scorpion¡¯s eyes became determined. It held its broadsword and was about to walk out of the protection area of the Thirty-three Heavens to fight the demonic eye. However, it had only taken a few steps when a big hand pulled it back. ¡°You can¡¯t stall that eye, and even if you die, I can¡¯t get out either. You¡¯d better think of other ways!¡± Qin Chen said. Of course, his words were not true. However, he could not watch the big scorpion die for him. Besides, he had the system with him. He did not believe that he would really die here. The big scorpion felt strange. Although it knew that Qin Chen didn¡¯t want it to die, it still felt aggrieved to be underestimated by a kid of a lower realm ¡°Do you feel it? The demonic eye seems to be able to only make the demonic energy erode us and can¡¯t really attack us. There might be some restriction here that prevents it from attacking us,¡± Qin Chen suddenly said, sensing something unusual. The big scorpion looked puzzled and asked, ¡°So what if it can¡¯t attack? It can still use demonic energy to kill us.¡± Qin Chen was speechless. Wasn¡¯t this guy too negative-minded? He did not reply to the big scorpion but carefully sensed the surroundings. Then, he looked in one direction, and his eyes became deep. He said softly, ¡°The demonic energy in that direction is weaker. If I¡¯m not wrong, the restriction that restricts the demonic eye should be there. Follow me. Let¡¯s go and have a look!¡± In order to not get lost in the demonic energy, Qin Chen summoned a ball of Golden Roc Dao Fire and threw it in the direction he sensed, leaving a trail of fire in the demonic energy. However, because Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation was not high enough, the Golden Roc Dao Fire, which contained the primordial imperial path, could only last for a few breaths under the corrosion of the demonic energy. ¡°Your flame is so terrifying, but it still can¡¯t resist the corrosion of the demonic energy!¡± The big scorpion shook its head and sighed. It could sense how terrifying the Golden Roc Dao Fire was, but even such a terrifying Dao fire could not survive the corrosion of the demonic energy, which shocked it again. Qin Chen already had an idea. He summoned the Golden Roc Dao Fire again and threw a line of fire in the direction he sensed. Then, he activated the Thirty-three heavens as well as the Chaotic Holy Body. Following this, he walked in the direction of the light with the big scorpion. When the Golden Roc Dao Fire was extinguished, Qin Chen immediately stopped. He did not dare to move forward. After all, if he lost his way in this place, it would be a big problem. Once again, he relaxed his mind and tried to sense the direction again. Then, he used the same trick and used the Golden Roc Dao Fire to head in the direction he sensed. After about ten minutes, the power of the surrounding demonic energy had obviously weakened a lot. Qin Chen¡¯s forehead was also covered in sweat. It was obvious that he had used up a lot of his energy. Qin Chen roared. He did not summon the Golden Roc Dao Fire again. Instead, he activated the Thirty-three heavens with all his might. The demonic energy was pushed back, and the two arrived at their final destination. It was a pool with spiritual spring water flowing in it. A green lotus was rooted and swaying, surrounded by mist and divine energy. Qin Chen looked at the green lotus. His Chaotic Holy Body suddenly erupted and a small person appeared in the lotus. Chapter 172 - Little Friend, Allow Me to Borrow Your Body for a While The little person sat cross-legged on the lotus. His skin was as pale as jade, and the power of the great path surrounded him. He was like an unparalleled immortal that no one dared to profane. ¡°oh my god, there¡¯s actually a little man inside the green lotus. Could it be the legendary immortality medicine?¡± The big scorpion cried out in surprise, surprised by the divinity displayed by the green lotus. [Ding!] [A very terrifying divinity remnant has been detected. Would the host like to check in here?] The system¡¯s voice suddenly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, which shocked him quite a bit. Could it be that the divinity the system had detected outside was emitted by this green lotus? Could the lotus really be a medicine for immortality? The immortality medicine was a legendary herb that grew in the celestial world. It was said that after eating it, ordinary people could become Gods straight away, and cultivators had the chance to become emperors. Not only that, but immortality medicine also contained terrifying longevity, which could allow great emperors to live a second life. Over the long years, whenever an immortality medicine appeared, great emperors would fight for it. Qin Chen gulped and muttered in his heart, ¡°System, check in here.¡± [Ding!] [Congratulations, host. You¡¯ve signed into the Demon Emperor Qing Lian¡¯s Residence and obtained the heavenly emperor¡¯s natal supernormal knowledge, the Nine-cycles Green Lotus.] Qin Chen¡¯s pupils constricted. He was shocked by the system¡¯s reward. One should know that a heavenly emperor¡¯s natal supernormal knowledge was the heavenly emperor¡¯s strongest supernormal knowledge! It wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that it was the most powerful supernormal knowledge in the world. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Chen once again asked the system about the attributes of the heavenly emperor¡¯s natal supernormal knowledge, the Nine-cycles Green Lotus. [Nine-cycles Green lotus: A heavenly emperor-level natal supernormal knowledge. This is the natal supernormal knowledge created by Demon Emperor Qing Lian. When it is used, it can allow the user¡¯s body and soul to instantly recover to the peak. It is extremely difficult to cultivate. Users below the Emperor realm can only cultivate three cycles, and there is a time interval.] ¡°Gulp!¡± Qin Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His expression was one of shock. To think this supernormal knowledge could restore one¡¯s body and soul to their peak state in an instant! This was simply an extra life! If he used it in battle, wouldn¡¯t he be able to use a life-for-life move without any scruples? ¡°Why are you so happy? Could it be that this green lotus is really an immortality medicine?¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen curiously, wanting to know if the green lotus was the legendary immortality medicine. Qin Chen¡¯s excited smile disappeared, and his entire person returned to calmness. Then, he carefully observed the green lotus and said in a deep voice, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s an immortality medicine, but this green lotus has a very terrifying divinity, and it can even block the demonic energy. Even if it¡¯s not an immortality medicine, it must be an incredible treasure.¡± ¡°You two brats, that green lotus can¡¯t save you. However, if you choose to submit to me, I can consider letting you live,¡± The demonic energy in the surroundings became thicker and the voice of the demonic eye suddenly sounded. It sounded very charming, wanting to make Qin Chen and the big scorpion submit to it. The big scorpion did not know how to choose, so it looked at Qin Chen and asked, ¡°Brat, it¡¯s only a matter of time before the demonic energy invades this place. What should we do now?¡± Qin Chen looked around, then at the green lotus. He replied in a low voice, ¡°The only thing that can resist the demonic energy here should be this green lotus. However, the lotus seems to have been damaged. If we can help it recover, there might be a way out.¡± ¡°Damaged?¡± The big scorpion frowned and looked at the green lotus carefully. It asked curiously, ¡°The lotus is surrounded by the power of the great path, and its aura is comparable to that of a celestial. It doesn¡¯t seem to be damaged!¡± Qin Chen shook his head and pointed at the tiny person in the green lotus with his index finger, ¡°The green lotus is only the shell, and this little one is the soul. If I¡¯m not wrong, this green lotus should have been damaged, which is why this little person is still in a deep sleep.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the big scorpion stared at the green lotus for a long time. It touched the back of its head and asked, ¡°This is an immortality medicine. How are we going to help him recover?¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he took out some of the great path spring water based on his intuition and poured it on the root of the green lotus. The water was instantly absorbed, and the green lotus emitted a seven-colored divine charm. Its aura also improved a lot. ¡°What kind of treasure is this?¡± The big scorpion licked its tongue and stared at the great path spring water with a fiery gaze. Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he took out another bottle of rare spiritual liquid and poured it on the roots of the green lotus again. Then, he took out the divine spiritual source, five-colored soil, immortality spring, and all kinds of other spiritual items. The big scorpion, who was watching from the side, was drooling. It wanted to tie Qin Chen up and see how many treasures he had. With the help of these spiritual items, the green lotus¡¯s vitality began to recover, and its aura became increasingly terrifying. The little person in the lotus was emitting a divine charm that directly scattered the surrounding demonic energy. ¡°It¡¯s working! We don¡¯t have to die!¡± The big scorpion was overjoyed. It did not expect Qin Chen¡¯s method to work. However, the latter also used so many extraordinary treasures. Even though they were not its possessions, it still felt heartache. Naturally, Qin Chen¡¯s heart ached even more. He had only obtained these treasures through many years of checking in. At this point, he had taken out a small half of the treasures and given them to the green lotus. If doing so wouldn¡¯t allow him to defeat the demonic eye, he even had thoughts of refining the green lotus. ¡°Bastards, to think you¡¯re trying to revive that green lotus. You¡¯re courting death!¡± The demonic eye was furious. The demonic energy attacked again, becoming more intense and terrifying. The demonic eye stared at Qin Chen and the other big scorpion in the dark. The killing intent in its eyes made the two shiver. At this moment, the green lotus emitted divine light. It flew out and floated in front of the two. Divine might gushed out and destroyed the demonic energy. A chain of the great path flew out from the lotus, piercing through the darkness and hitting the demonic eye. ¡°Detestable! I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to recover. I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡± The demonic eye shouted angrily. He was showing his might, releasing a monstrous demonic energy that rushed toward the green lotus, Qin Chen, and the big scorpion. The demonic energy was so aggressive that even the divine might of the green lotus was being eroded. ¡°The green lotus doesn¡¯t seem to be able to hold on! What do we do now?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s expression changed greatly. Looking at the demonic energy that was slowly approaching, it was nervous. Qin Chen took out more treasures, but the effect was minimal. The green lotus seemed to have stopped absorbing, which made his expression turn extremely ugly. But at this moment, a voice appeared in his mind out of thin air, ¡°Little friend, allow me to borrow your body.¡± Qin Chen looked at the green lotus. Before he could speak, the divinity of the green lotus enveloped him. A secret force entered the space between his brows and temporarily controlled his body. ¡°Chaotic Holy Body, Chaotic Imperial Scripture. So he¡¯s his successor,¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself, a smile appearing on his face. At this moment, the demonic energy suddenly trembled. The demonic eye in the darkness suddenly erupted and shot a beam of light at Qin Chen. Chapter 173 - Suppressing Qiongqi The big scorpion was shocked. The beam of light from the demonic eye was too terrifying. It even pierced through the divine light of the green lotus. If Qin Chen was hit, he would definitely die. Yet, the corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose and he snorted. He held the green lotus in his hand and waved it in the air, clashing with the beam of light from the demonic eye. Under the big scorpion¡¯s incredulous gaze, the green lotus was like an emperor¡¯s sword. It directly split the light beam shot out by the demonic eye into two and even shattered a lot of demonic energy. ¡°You¡¯ve recovered!¡± The demonic eye was shocked and looked at Qin Chen in surprise. At this moment, Qin Chen seemed to have changed into a different person. His entire body emitted divine light and the Chaotic Holy Body was revived, all the paths in the heavens resonating with it. He looked coldly at the demonic eye in the demonic energy and said in a deep voice, ¡°Back then, seeing that your bloodline was extraordinary, I spared your life. I didn¡¯t expect you to have become so powerful and killed so many people. It¡¯s time to settle the score with you today.¡± ¡°Hmph! How much of your strength will you be able to use in someone else¡¯s body? After suppressing me for so many years, I should be the one to settle the score today!¡± The demonic eye shouted angrily, and a monstrous aura attacked. The big scorpion shivered, feeling that its soul and bloodline were being suppressed. Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he waved the green lotus in the air again. Divine might was scattered, and the demonic energy in the hall dissipated. The darkness faded, and the demonic eye finally revealed its true appearance. It was a huge tiger with wings, a bloody mouth, and sharp fangs. Its entire body was covered in spikes, and there was a pair of big bull horns on its head. It looked extremely ferocious. ¡°This is¡­ This is a Qiongqi?¡± The big scorpion looked at the demonic eye¡¯s true body in shock, its eyes full of fear. Qiongqi was one of the primordial Chaotic Demon Gods, an existence on par with the real dragons and divine phoenixes. A ferocious beast like this should have been extinct long ago. The big scorpion did not expect there to be one here. ¡°Roar!¡± A beast¡¯s roar rang out, and the entire hall trembled. The terrifying might caused the big scorpion to shiver. Qiongqi was showing its might. It opened its bloody mouth and stared at Qin Chen with its blood-red eyes. Demonic energy surrounded its body and the divinity was being eroded. Qiongqi circled Qin Chen, its eyes filled with fear. With a low growl, it spat out a stream of demonic energy, which covered half of the hall and hid its body. Qin Chen waved his green lotus and repelled the demonic energy. Just as the demonic energy was dissipated, Qiongqi appeared in the air like a tiger pouncing at Qin Chen with its mouth wide open. ¡°Bind!¡± Qin Chen shouted and threw out the green lotus in his hand. The divine might that was released trapped Qiongqi in the air, rendering it unable to move. ¡°Roar!¡± Qiongqi let out an angry roar, and a monstrous demonic energy burst out of its body. The demonic energy eroded the divinity, and the divine might of the green lotus weakened, giving the Qiongqi the chance to break free. ¡°Bind!¡± Qin Chen shouted again. A dozen chains of the great path instantly shot out from the green lotus, which pierced through Qiongqi¡¯s body and sealed its power. ¡°Roar!¡± Qiongqi let out a blood-curdling screech and glared at Qin Chen, ¡°I¡¯m a divine beast born from the heavens and earth. In your current state, you can¡¯t kill me! When I recover, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll suffer in hell.¡± ¡°You are cruel and bloodthirsty. Even if you were born from the heavens and earth, you can¡¯t be considered a divine beast. In my current state, I can¡¯t kill you, but I never intended to kill you either!¡± Qin Chen chuckled and waved his hand. The green lotus exuded a dazzling divine might. With the chains of the great path as the carrier, it continuously absorbed the energy within Qiongqi¡¯s body. ¡°Damn it. To think you¡¯re absorbing my power! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Qiongqi was furious. The energy that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years was being absorbed. It roared, and the chains of the great path were rattled so hard that they made clanking sounds. However, it was still bound in the air and could not budge at all. ¡°For today¡¯s cause, I will return the favor in the future. Since I have borrowed your strength today, I¡¯ll return it to you in the future,¡± Qin Chen snorted and his eyes lost their light. Then, he fainted. Chapter 174 - The Inheritance of the Supreme Emperor Huang? ¡°Who did this?¡± Qin Chen growled as his Sagely might erupted. His Chaotic Holy Body was activated, and his heart was filled with anger. He looked around for the thief. However, he did not find the thief after searching around. He touched his chin and muttered to himself, ¡°Could it be the big scorpion?¡± Qin Chen shook his head. He felt that it was impossible. Never mind whether the big scorpion had the guts, but even if it did, how did it do it? One had to know that the spatial artifact was always in his hands. After some thought, Qin Chen was still puzzled, so he pretended to cultivate, trying to fish out the thief who had stolen his things. A few days later, he checked the spatial artifact and found that some other precious treasures were missing again. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. However, he was now sure that it was definitely not the big scorpion¡¯s doing. After all, the big scorpion had not been here for the past few days. Yet, who could it be? There was some worry in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. To be able to steal the treasures in his spatial artifact without him knowing, the other party must not be a simple person, most likely a God. For the next few days, Qin Chen had become particularly vigilant. Even when he was checking in, he would constantly pay attention to his spatial artifact. At this time, a precious ore disappeared before his eyes, and he finally found the thief. With a ¡°clang¡±, a big black pot was thrown to the ground by Qin Chen. After not looking at it for many days, the big black pot had become much rounder, and the array patterns on the pot had become clearer. ¡°You thief, I¡¯ve finally caught you!¡± Qin Chen growled as he glared at the big black pot. If it was not for the fact that one could not use extreme emperor weapons in the Demon Emperor Tomb, he would have taken out the Desolate Divine Halberd and smashed the big black pot into pieces. ¡°Qin Chen, why did you bring out the big black pot? Don¡¯t tell me you already know that I¡¯ve found the body of that dragon race¡¯s senior?¡± The big scorpion smiled and took out half of the dragon¡¯s corpse from its spatial artifact. The dragon¡¯s corpse was very large. Just half of it was enough to fill the entire hall. ¡°Shit! Put it away!¡± Qin Chen shouted, but he was still a step too late. The big black pot glowed and gobbled up the dragon¡¯s corpse. It was like a big mouth and as it devoured the corpse. In the blink of an eye, half of the remaining dragon¡¯s corpse was eaten. Seeing this, the big scorpion threw a punch and sent the big black pot flying. Only then did it manage to salvage the rest of the dragon¡¯s corpse. However, when it saw that the dragon corpse that it had found with great difficulty had been destroyed by the big black pot, the big scorpion was immediately enraged. After putting away the rest of the dragon¡¯s corpse, it raised its fist and punched the big black pot. Unfortunately, the material of the big black pot was special. Under the big scorpion¡¯s intensive attack, it was still completely fine. Not even a corner of iron was chipped off. ¡°Little scorpion, don¡¯t waste your energy. With your cultivation, you don¡¯t even have the right to scratch my itch,¡± At this moment, a voice came out from the big black pot¡¯s body, which startled Qin Chen and the big scorpion. They were both shocked. Had the big black pot gained intelligence? ¡°Bastard, spit out my dragon corpse!¡± The big scorpion shouted angrily. It took out its Supreme Sage weapon and slashed at the big black pot. However, the big black pot didn¡¯t seem to be as simple as the big scorpion thought. Even the Supreme Sage weapon didn¡¯t hurt the big black pot at all. ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy. With your little cultivation, you can¡¯t do anything to me!¡± The big black pot sneered. Qin Chen stopped the big scorpion and asked coldly, ¡°What kind of a thing are you?¡± ¡°Damn it! You¡¯re a thing, your whole family is only a thing!¡± The big black pot retorted. Qin Chen¡¯s face darkened, and his heart was instantly filled with monstrous anger. His Sagely might burst out, and the rule of force circulated. He used the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, which landed on the big black pot, shaking the entire hall. ¡°Ouch, that hurts! To think you comprehended the rule of force. It really hurts so much!¡± The big black pot wailed as its body spun on the spot, a very amusing scene. ¡°What exactly are you?¡± Qin Chen asked coldly. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be frightened, but I am the emperor weapon of the Supreme Emperor Huang! If you¡¯re smart, take out all the treasures in your spatial artifact and give them to me. Perhaps if I¡¯m happy, I can even pass on some of the Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s inheritance to you,¡± The big black pot stood up, and a face appeared on its oval-shaped surface, which was comical. Qin Chen found it hard to imagine that such an item could be the Emperor weapon of the Supreme Emperor Huang. Then, the big black pot turned to the big scorpion and said loudly, ¡°Little scorpion, if you are willing to give me the rest of the dragon¡¯s corpse, I can teach you supernormal knowledge of the Supreme Emperor Huang. In the future, you will be the successor of the Supreme Emperor Huang in this era.¡± The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth twitched. This fellow was simply asking for a beating. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He activated the rule of force and landed a foot on the big black pot as he said coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t return the things you stole, do you believe that I¡¯ll send you to the Supreme Emperor Huang right now?¡± ¡°How dare you be so rude to the Supreme Emperor!¡± The big black pot bellowed angrily. However, as soon as it said this, Qin Chen began to cast the heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint. The terrifying aura intimidated the big black pot and it hurriedly shouted, ¡°My good men, can you give me a chance? I have a huge secret here, it is related to the inheritance of the Supreme Emperor Huang!¡± ¡°The inheritance of the Supreme Emperor Huang?¡± Both Qin Chen and the big scorpion stopped. They were both tempted. The Supreme Emperor Huang was a mysterious great emperor of the heaven burial era. According to the information left behind in the world, his strength was at the peak of all the ancient great emperors. The inheritance that he left behind would definitely be extraordinary. ¡°Hehe, as long as you give me some treasures, I guarantee that you will obtain the inheritance of the Supreme Emperor Huang!¡± The big black pot chuckled, and its face revealed a cunning look. Qin Chen picked up the big black pot and said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you want to say it or not. Since you¡¯ve eaten so much of my divine materials, it¡¯s time to settle the score.¡± With that, Qin Chen immediately activated his Chaotic Holy Body and used the rule of force. At the same time, he circulated his emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and prepared to give the black pot a good beating. When the big black pot saw this, it was so scared that it trembled. It did not dare to haggle any further and said urgently, ¡°The Supreme Emperor Huang once left behind an extreme emperor weapon in the Emperor Burial Abyss! ¡°An extreme emperor weapon!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in shock. He did not expect that an extreme emperor weapon would be buried in the Emperor Burial Abyss. However, the Emperor Burial Abyss was the most terrifying one among the nine forbidden grounds. Even Gods would not dare to venture into it. As such, even if there was an extreme emperor weapon in there, Qin Chen would probably not have the chance to get it. Furthermore, wasn¡¯t the Desolate Pagoda the emperor weapon of the Supreme Emperor Huang? Thinking of this, Qin Chen snorted coldly, ¡°So what if it¡¯s an extreme emperor weapon? The Emperor Burial Abyss is a forbidden ground. Who would dare to go there? In my opinion, you¡¯d better obediently hand over what you stole. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Seeing Qin Chen rubbing his hands again, the big black pot¡¯s body trembled and it spoke again, ¡°As long as you bring me into the Emperor Burial Abyss, I will be able to help you find the emperor weapon left behind by Supreme Emperor Huang! I can even help you make the extreme emperor weapon recognize you as its master!¡± Chapter 175 - Leaving ¡°You can help me make an extreme emperor weapon recognize me as its master?¡± Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the pot in surprise. One must know that that was an extreme emperor weapon they were talking about! It was a weapon that ancient great emperors had to spend countless years to refine. It represented the pinnacle of weapons in the world. Even if only a wisp of its power was restored, it would be enough to annihilate the strongest of the three types of Jiutian Sages as well as destroy endless territory. Its power was unimaginable. Furthermore, there were usually sleeping divine spirits within the emperor weapons, which were extremely terrifying. When fully awakened, it could even go against ancient great emperors. How could an extreme emperor weapon like this truly recognize a master? Even if the ancient great emperors came themselves, they would not be able to make an extreme emperor weapon recognize them as its master. Qin Chen did not believe it at all. Only if the divine spirit of an extreme emperor weapon had died would there be a chance of the weapon acknowledging a master. However, such a weapon would then be unworthy of being revered as an extreme emperor weapon because the most terrifying thing about such weapons was their divine spirit. Those divine spirits had close to Emperor realm cultivations. When the divine spirits controlled the emperor weapon to fight, only would the weapon possess true extreme emperor¡¯s might. He looked at the big black pot, wondering what this fellow was up to. ¡°That¡¯s right. As long as you bring me to the Emperor Burial Abyss, I can help you make the extreme emperor weapon recognize you as its master,¡± The big black pot said with certainty. The big scorpion moved closer to Qin Chen¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Qin Chen, if it really helps you do that, don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m also a part of it. If I ask to borrow the extreme emperor weapon in the future, you have to agree.¡± Qin Chen was speechless. The big scorpion was just saying things that were easier said than done. Not to mention how terrifying the Emperor Burial Abyss was, even if the big black pot could really help him make an extreme emperor weapon recognize him as its master, it would not be a simple matter. He pondered for a moment and snorted, ¡°Even if you can help me do that, what are the chances of success? Furthermore, the Emperor Burial Abyss was not a good place. Even if the extreme emperor weapon recognizes me as its master, I might not even be able to come out alive. So, why should I believe you?¡± Seeing that Qin Chen still did not believe him, three black lines appeared on the big black pot¡¯s face. At the same time, the emperor runes on the pot glowed, and the aura of an extreme emperor weapon spread out, startling Qin Chen and the big scorpion. ¡°These emperor runes are subsidiary marks of the extreme emperor weapon. As long as I activate them, I can sense the extreme emperor weapon in the Emperor Burial Abyss. If I activate them in the Emperor Burial Abyss, you will have the chance to make the extreme emperor weapon in there yours. If you still don¡¯t believe me, you can use your soul power to sense it.¡± Upon hearing the big black pot¡¯s words, Qin Chen decisively did so. When his soul power covered the revived emperor runes on the big black pot, an illusion appeared in front of his eyes. This was a place where demonic energy was raging. Countless dead souls were wandering in the air, and the scene looked very desolate. At this place was a floating Emperor¡¯s sword that was glowing with chaotic energy on the blade. Just by looking at it, one could feel its terrifying power. It was not inferior to the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword of the Great Qin Dynasty. It was another invincible divine weapon. 1 A sword light flashed, and countless souls were shattered. Qin Chen was shocked, and the scene in front of him disappeared. The emperor runes on the black pot also dimmed. ¡°So, do you believe what I said now?¡± The big black pot snorted. It knew that Qin Chen had already seen the extreme emperor weapon. ¡°Qin Chen, did you really see an extreme emperor weapon?¡± The big scorpion also came over. Qin Chen nodded and replied softly, ¡°I did see a peerless emperor weapon. These emperor runes are indeed related to that extreme emperor weapon.¡± ¡°Brat, since I¡¯ve given you such a great opportunity, hurry up and take out some spirit ores and divine materials to show your respect. And you, little scorpion, as long as you give me the remaining half of the dragon corpse, I can also give you an opportunity,¡± The big black pot looked at the two of them as it said in an old man¡¯s tone and started to bargain, wanting to get more benefits from Qin Chen and the big scorpion. Qin Chen looked at it coldly, ¡°You¡¯ve eaten so many of my treasures and even swallowed so much of the big scorpion¡¯s bloodline. If you dare to bargain, I¡¯ll throw you into the Emperor Burial Abyss alone and let you accompany those dead souls.¡± The big black pot¡¯s body trembled. It was obviously frightened by Qin Chen¡¯s words. As such, it immediately shut up, not daring to ask Qin Chen for more spirit ores and divine materials. Qin Chen did not put the big black pot into his spatial artifact again. After all, this fellow was a pain in the ass. If he put it into the spatial artifact again, God knows how many more of his treasures would be plundered. The big scorpion also avoided the big black pot. After all, the fellow had been eyeing the dragon¡¯s corpse it found. Thus, it left without looking back, planning to find a safe place to refine the dragon¡¯s corpse. ¡°I am an emperor weapon left behind by the Supreme Emperor Huang. Do you know how many opportunities you have lost by treating me so coldly?¡± Seeing that the two ignored him, the big black pot¡¯s heart was filled with deep resentment. It cursed and swore in the hall, but in the end, it was kicked out by Qin Chen. Three months passed. Qin Chen had been checking in next to the green lotus for these three months and thus obtained many treasures. There were divine materials, divine ores, pills, and cultivation techniques. However, the most precious thing was the seed of immortality medicine. The seed was something that Qin Chen had obtained on the second day of checking in. It was bean-sized. According to the system¡¯s introduction, this was the seed of immortality medicine. If it was planted in divine soil, there was a high chance that it would grow into an immortality medicine. Although Qin Chen didn¡¯t have any divine soil now, it didn¡¯t mean that he wouldn¡¯t get some in the future. If he could plant an immortality medicine in the Taiyi Holy Land, it would definitely benefit countless generations to come. Qin Chen stood up and stretched. Then, he walked out of the hall and left the Demon Emperor Tomb with the big black pot and the big scorpion. After the human, demon, and pot left, the Demon Emperor Tomb shook violently. Along with the blood-red desert, it disappeared. It should have been hidden by the green lotus. If it did not appear itself, probably no one would be able to find the Demon Emperor Tomb in the future. Qin Chen brought the big scorpion through the demonic wind. After three days, they finally walked out of the desert. Breathing in the fresh air, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body relaxed. ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m finally out. So this is what the outside world looks like? It¡¯s really beautiful!¡± The big scorpion exclaimed. It looked at this strange world in high spirits, its eyes shining. ¡°Eh, who are these two? He doesn¡¯t seem to be from the ten thousand ancient races! Why do I find him so familiar?¡± ¡°Where did this country bumpkin come from?¡± ¡°Silence! That¡¯s the human Elder King who entered the forbidden ground a few months ago!¡± ¡°What? That¡¯s the human Elder King? He managed to leave the forbidden ground alive?! How is this possible?¡± ¡°The human race Elder King is still alive! The ten thousand ancient races are in danger!¡± ¡°Quickly report to the ten thousand ancient races that the human race¡¯s Elder King is still alive!¡± A group of experts from the ten thousand ancient races watched Qin Chen and the big scorpion from a distance with fear written all over their faces. They stood dozens of miles away, not daring to get close. ¡°Those beings are from the ten thousand ancient races, right? What have you done? Why are they so afraid of you?¡± The big scorpion was confused. The ten thousand ancient races were the rulers of the primordial era. It found it hard to imagine that they would fear a human. At this moment, a white cloud drifted over from afar. Prince Zhan stood on the cloud and laughed at Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, I knew you wouldn¡¯t die so easily!¡± Chapter 176 - Return ¡°This is the legendary ancient imperial clan, the battle sage ape! They¡¯ve also been revived in this era?¡± The big scorpion cried out in alarm. Although it had been staying in the Demon Emperor Tomb, it still knew some of the ten thousand ancient races and was quite terrified of some of them. Qin Chen ignored the big scorpion and cupped his hands at Prince Zhan. He laughed loudly, ¡°Thank you for your help back then, Prince Zhan.¡± ¡°Haha, there¡¯s no need to be so polite!¡± Prince Zhan laughed, ¡°Besides, even if I didn¡¯t do anything, I¡¯m afraid you would be fine. Did you find the legendary Demon Emperor Tomb after entering the forbidden ground?¡± Qin Chen nodded and replied softly, ¡°Something has happened in the Demon Emperor Tomb and it is now closed off. If it doesn¡¯t reappear on its own accord, I¡¯m afraid no one will be able to find it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s closed off? I had wanted to go and explore, but it seems that I¡¯m a step too late. However, there are still eight of the nine great forbidden grounds left. How about we go together in the future?¡± Prince Zhan extended an invitation to go to the forbidden grounds with Qin Chen. Qin Chen nodded. The forbidden grounds were all precious places with remnant divinity, so he would naturally head to those places to check in one by one. Thus, he agreed, ¡°I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll have a chance to go together in the future, but now, I need to return to the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°Very well. Something major happened not long ago there. You should go back and take a look,¡± Prince Zhan nodded and left on his cloud, not stalling Qin Chen any longer. Qin Chen frowned and looked puzzled. He was curious as to what had happened, so he used the void divine altar to tear the void and rush back to the Taiyi Holy Land with the big scorpion. At the Taiyi Holy Land, the void was torn apart and the disciples all looked over. When they saw the familiar figure whose face was covered by layers of chaotic light, they were all excited. ¡°It¡¯s the Elder King! The Elder King has returned!¡± ¡°The Elder King is back! Quickly ring the bell to inform the whole sect. ¡± ¡°Hahaha! I knew that the Elder King would definitely be fine.¡± ¡°Elder King! The Elder King!¡± The disciples went crazy. Ever since the news that the Elder King was forced into the forbidden ground by Supreme Sage Peng Kong spread, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been furious. Many of them even declared that they would fight the roc imperial clan to the death. However, due to fear of the roc imperial clan¡¯s strength, Ling Ran gave the order to close the gates, which made countless disciples feel very aggrieved. Although many were spreading rumors that the Elder King was dead, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land didn¡¯t believe it. They believed that Elder King would return and lead them to destroy the roc imperial clan. Now that Elder King had truly returned, how could they not be excited? The news spread. Lord Dragon, Ling Ran, Lu Xuan, and the other higher-ups of the Holy Land rushed over very quickly. When they saw Qin Chen¡¯s figure, their faces were filled with joy. All of them bowed and shouted in unison, ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± Qin Chen nodded and took a step forward. In an instant, he had brought everyone back to the main hall. This move shocked everyone. It seemed that the Elder King¡¯s strength had improved again. ¡°Did anything major happen after I entered the forbidden ground?¡± Qin Chen spoke. Ling Ran nodded and walked up to Qin Chen. She told him about how the old lunatic killed a God and how he fought with Sage Emperor Tai Yang of the primordial sage race. When Qin Chen heard that the old madman had killed a God, he was shocked. He had never thought that the old madman would be so terrifyingly strong that he could even kill an ancient God of the primordial sage race. From this, it could be seen that the old madman was not only a Shifang God but probably no ordinary ancient God either. When Qin Chen learned that Sage Emperor Tai Yang, the primordial emperor, had awakened and attacked the old lunatic across time and space, even though he did not witness the scene, he was secretly worried for the old lunatic. Although the ancient Gods were strong, which ancient great emperor didn¡¯t walk to the extreme from the God realm and prove their path to become an Emperor? However, when he finally learned that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had also made a move from eons away, he was even more shocked. He was very curious as to where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was. What kind of scene had ensued when a heavenly emperor and Sage Emperor Tai Yang fought through space and time? ¡°The primordial sage race is a traitor? Who did they betray? What faction did they defect to?¡± Qin Chen frowned. The old madman was clearly not an ordinary ancient God. The other party had probably lived countless years and knew countless ancient secrets. From the jumbled words of the old lunatic, one could tell that the primordial era was not simple. The departure of the great ancient emperors most likely hid secrets that no one knew. Whether it was the 33 steles in the great emperor¡¯s palace or the words of the crazy old man, all of them seemed to be hinting that the ancient great emperors¡¯ departure was related to an emperor-level battle. Qin Chen had once seen Qin Shihuang¡¯s expedition back in the Great Qin Dynasty. As the Emperor of the Ages, who could make him personally lead an expedition? There were too many questions that he did not have the answers to. Perhaps only when his strength reached the great emperor level could he answer the doubts in his heart. ¡°Elder King, now that you¡¯ve returned safely, do we still have to settle the score with the roc imperial clan?¡± Lu Xuan looked at the Elder King with some concern because he knew that the Elder King had always been used to being domineering. Since the roc imperial clan had bullied him, he most likely would seek revenge. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed and he said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve told the world before that when I return, I¡¯ll exterminate the entire roc race. Tell everyone in the sect to make preparations. Tomorrow morning, we¡¯ll attack the roc imperial clan!¡± ¡°Elder King, the roc imperial clan is an ancient imperial clan. The Taiyi Holy Land is still far from them! Since you are fine anyway, please reconsider your decision!¡± A supreme elder said worriedly. Although the Taiyi Holy Land was no longer the same as before, he still didn¡¯t agree to start a war with the roc imperial clan. After all, the strength of both sides was still far from being equal. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°I won¡¯t be blindly arrogant when attacking the roc imperial clan. I naturally have the corresponding means to deal with them.¡± When everyone heard this, they did not dare to object and agreed one after another. After he finished speaking, everyone busied themselves with their preparations. After all, attacking an ancient imperial clan was no small matter. Naturally, they had to be well-prepared. After everyone had left, Ling Ran, who was standing outside the hall, looked at Qin Chen deeply. She suddenly whispered, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s figure paused slightly, and a soft sigh resounded¡­ Then, he went to the great emperor¡¯s palace and routinely checked in. At this time, the big black pot that he had put in a separate spatial artifact suddenly cried out, ¡°This¡­ this is a great emperor¡¯s palace, right? I didn¡¯t expect this! Brat, to think you¡¯re so lucky to have found such a precious place.¡± As soon as it finished saying this, the big black pot exclaimed again, ¡°What a prodigal! To think the floor is made from divine ores. Even a great emperor shouldn¡¯t be so wasteful!¡± Qin Chen ignored it and went straight to the thirty-three steles to check-in. Along the way, he could hear the big black pot¡¯s incessant exclamations. ¡°Oh my God! These thousand-foot steles are actually made of divine materials,¡± The big black pot cried out in surprise and jumped out of the spatial artifact. Then, it grabbed the steles and actually wanted to devour them! With that, the stele exuded a monstrous emperor¡¯s might. It was obvious that it had been offended by the big black pot. The explosion of the emperor¡¯s might sent the big black pot flying. Qin Chen cursed, thinking that the big black pot would be destroyed. However, to his surprise, the big black pot survived the emperor¡¯s might. Chapter 177 - Set Off for Battle, War Starts! 1 ¡°Ouch, it hurts so much!¡± The big black pot wailed, but it was not damaged at all. There was not even a scratch. It could be seen how sturdy the material of the big black pot was. It was probably comparable to celestial material. Qin Chen stared at the big black pot, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. He even suspected that the big black pot was really an extreme emperor weapon. ¡°Hmph, you dare to hit me? I won¡¯t touch you, but I can at least eat one or two pieces of the floor!¡± The big black pot cursed at the thousand-foot steles, then slammed itself on the ground. Following this, a big mouth appeared on the surface of the pot, and it bit the floor, making a crackling sound. Qin Chen was shocked by the scene before him. Never in his wildest imagination could he imagine that this fellow could bite off the divine ore! ¡°Crack, crack!¡± The big black pot bit into the divine ore, and after swallowing it, cracking sounds sounded as if it was chewing. Qin Chen found it hard to imagine that this was done by a pot. However, what tempted him more was the divine ore that the pot had bitten off. One had to know that these divine ores were priceless treasures in the outside world. They were the best choice for refining weapons. Yet now, they were just food for the pot. This was simply a wasteful sin! Qin Chen couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He picked up the big black pot and used his divine power to force the big black pot¡¯s mouth open, snatching the divine ore that it had just bitten off. ¡°Damn, boy, this is too much. To think you dare to snatch food from my mouth!¡± The big black pot shouted angrily. Qin Chen didn¡¯t think much of it. He activated his supernormal knowledge again, trying to snatch another piece of divine ore from the big black pot¡¯s mouth. However, the big black pot naturally wouldn¡¯t be stupid enough to fall for the same trick. With a flash of divine light, its mouth disappeared, leaving Qin Chen with no way to attack. ¡°The great emperor¡¯s palace is my territory. Since you¡¯ve eaten so many divine ores, shouldn¡¯t you give me some? Otherwise, don¡¯t even think about coming here again,¡± Qin Chen said, his eyes filled with greed for the divine ores. The big black pot felt very aggrieved. It didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to be so immoral. To think he would go so far as to snatch food from the mouth of a pot. He was simply devoid of conscience. However, looking at the divine ores all over the ground, the big black pot was a little reluctant to part with them as well. If Qin Chen really didn¡¯t bring it here in the future, then wouldn¡¯t it lose out too much? After some thought, the big black pot replied, ¡°Brat, since you¡¯ve brought me here, I¡¯ll give you twenty percent of the divine ores.¡± ¡°No, the lowest is 50%! Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to get a single divine ore,¡± Qin Chen raised his hand, showing that it was non-negotiable. Chapter 178 - Set Off for Battle, War Starts! 2 Chapter 178: Set Off for Battle, War Starts! 2 Supreme Sage Peng Zhen spoke at this point, ¡°Patriarch, don¡¯t tell me that our race doesn¡¯t have any God-realm experts who have sealed themselves to this era?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong shook his head and sighed, ¡°Self-sealing requires a large amount of divine spirit source. It¡¯s simply too costly for a God-realm expert to do so. Among all the ten thousand ancient races, other than the primordial sage race, divine silkworm race, battle sage ape race, and demon god race, the other ancient races don¡¯t have a self-sealing God-realm expert.¡± ¡°Then, why don¡¯t we ask the four great ancient imperial clans for help?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen frowned and snorted. Supreme Sage Peng Kong let out a long sigh and said, ¡°That¡¯s the only thing we can do now. Get someone to prepare a generous gift. I¡¯ll personally visit the primordial sage race in a while! The next day, all the disciples and elders of the Taiyi Holy Land gathered on the void divine platform. They were all full of fighting spirit as they shouted in unison, ¡°Elder King! Elder King!¡± Qin Chen appeared amidst the cheers of the crowd and roared, ¡°Today, I vow to exterminate the roc imperial clan. Everyone, please follow me to battle! We will not return until we win this battle!¡± When everyone heard this, they raised their heads and shouted, ¡°We will not return until we win!!¡± Qin Chen waved his hand and shouted, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The void in Western Heaven was torn apart, and many figures appeared. The experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were all gathered. Under Qin Chen¡¯s lead, they headed toward the Roc Forest in a grandiose manner, attracting the attention of many ancient races along the way. ¡°What is the human Elder King trying to do? Is he really going to exterminate the roc imperial clan? Isn¡¯t he too arrogant?¡± ¡°Arrogant? Hmph, have you forgotten the battle a few months ago? The primordial sage race¡¯s God died and they have gone into seclusion ever since. The fire in the East Sea mountain range has yet to be extinguished. Since the human race has a God-realm expert, they naturally have nothing to fear.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t we have any other God-realm experts among the ten thousand ancient races? The ten thousand ancient races were once the rulers of this continent. Are we going to let the human race ride on our heads in the future?¡± ¡°The conditions for a God-realm expert to seal oneself are harsh. Unless it¡¯s a life-and-death situation, who would revive a God-realm expert? Now that the human race¡¯s God is invincible, the political situation of the Canglan Continent has changed. Our ten thousand ancient races no longer hold any authority.¡± Countless experts of the ancient races shook their heads. All of them knew that the human race was no longer the human race of the past, and the Canglan Continent was no longer the same as it had been in the primordial era. Outside the Roc Forest, Qin Chen brought a thousand people from the Taiyi Holy Land here. The terrifying power frightened the roc imperial clan, and they decisively activated the protective array to resist. Qin Chen stood in the air, his eyes bright and full of spirit. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd and had the Sage-slaying Bow at his waist. Like a god of war, he shouted at the Roc Forest, ¡°Peng Kong, come out and accept your death!¡± His Sagely might surged forth and enveloped the Roc Forest. Although Qin Chen was only a Sage King, he was a peak realm 9 Sage King. As such, his aura was comparable to a Supreme Sage, which made the members of the roc imperial clan tremble in fear. ¡°The power of the human Elder King is getting stronger and stronger! I believe it won¡¯t be long before he breaks through to the Supreme Sage realm!¡± ¡°The human race has a God-realm expert and a monster like the Elder King. It¡¯ll probably be very difficult for the ten thousand ancient races to compete with them!¡± ¡°Hmph, the human race might be strong, but what do we ten thousand ancient races have to fear? Don¡¯t forget that we have an ancient Prince who will revive in this era. Besides, the ten thousand ancient races have always been stronger than the human race. It won¡¯t be long before we can suppress the flames of their arrogance.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. As long as we¡¯re given some time to recuperate, we¡¯ll definitely be able to rule this continent again.¡± The spectating ten thousand ancient races were all frowning, but when someone mentioned the ancient Prince, they regained their fighting spirit. All of them believed that it wouldn¡¯t be long before the ten thousand ancient races fully revived and once again became the rulers of the continent. ¡°Human Elder King, aren¡¯t you being a little too arrogant by invading our ancestral land?¡± A cold voice was heard. Supreme Sage Peng Kong and Supreme Sage Zhen Kong walked out with five Sage Kings and more than ten Sages. Qin Chen looked at Peng Kong and Peng Zhen coldly. All the things that had happened in the past came to his mind. His expression turned even cold as he said in a deep voice, ¡°Peng Kong, I¡¯ve said it before. The day I return from the Demon Emperor Tomb will be the day I exterminate your race. Today, the roc imperial clan will be exterminated!¡± ¡°Human Elder King, you are too arrogant. So what if you have returned from the Demon Emperor Tomb? You¡¯re still far from qualified to exterminate the roc imperial clan!¡± Peng Kong coldly snorted with confidence. Qin Chen frowned. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things seemed abnormal. Since Peng Kong was so confident, he must be prepared. There might be other experts lying in ambush in the Roc Forest. ¡°Elder King, the roc imperial clan is an ancient imperial clan. Can we really exterminate them with just us?¡± The big scorpion suddenly spoke. It was hesitant and lost all confidence when faced with two Supreme Sages, five Sage Kings, and more than ten Sages. After the big scorpion and Qin Chen came out of the Demon Emperor Tomb, the latter brought the former back to the Taiyi Holy Land and even appointed the big scorpion as a supreme elder. Because the big scorpion knew Qin Chen¡¯s real name, Qin Chen had specially instructed it to address him as Elder King in the future. ¡°Who said it¡¯s just us?¡± Qin Chen said as a smile appeared on his face. Immediately after, a wave of Emperor¡¯s might struck. Supreme Sage Qin Tian arrived with the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. Behind him, there was a Sage King and a few Sages. ¡°Minister, I¡¯m not late, am I?¡± Qin Tian laughed loudly. Qin Chen cupped his hands and replied, ¡°Many thanks for your help.¡± Qin Tian looked at the big scorpion at the side and could not help but be shocked. He asked Qin Chen, ¡°Minister, who is this fellow Daoist?¡± ¡°He¡¯s my friend and a supreme elder of the Taiyi Holy Land,¡± Qin Chen replied. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Qin Tian could not help but be shocked. He did not expect that not only had Qin Chen returned safely from the Demon Emperor Tomb, but he even brought back a demon race Supreme Sage and made the other party a supreme elder of the Taiyi Holy Land. This was simply unbelievable. After Qin Tian arrived, Qin Chen was filled with confidence. He shouted at Supreme Sage Peng Kong, ¡°Peng Kong, do you dare to fight?¡± ¡°Hmph! What¡¯s there to fear?¡± Peng Kong roared back and took out a Supreme Sage spear. He pointed the tip of the spear at Qin Chen, exuding a Sagely might and an extremely powerful aura. Qin Chen brandished the Desolate Divine Halberd and stepped into the starry sky. He beckoned at Supreme Sage Peng Kong and shouted, ¡°Come and fight!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong immediately used the roc secret technique and pierced into the starry sky with his long spear, engaging in a battle with Qin Chen. The power of the two¡¯s exchange was great. In just a dozen moves, hundreds of stars were shattered. The roc secret technique was activated, and the cry of the roc came from the starry sky. Even though they were hundreds of thousands of miles away, those in the Roc Forest could still see the divine manifestation of the roc in the sky. However, in just a few breaths, it was shattered by a divine halberd before turning into nothingness again. Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Peng Kong were engaged in an all-out battle. The Desolate Divine Halberd was activated and the quasi-emperor might was terrifying. It suppressed half of the starry sky and forced Peng Kong to retreat. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was indeed an experienced Supreme Sage from the primordial era. Even against a quasi-emperor weapon, he was still fearless. He transformed into a huge roc and soared. With the Supreme Sage weapon in his mouth, he fought with Qin Chen. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the starry sky. All of them knew that this battle concerned the life and death of the roc imperial clan. If Supreme Sage Peng Kong was defeated, then the roc imperial clan would probably be destroyed today and become history. However, if the human Elder King was defeated, it would greatly affect the morale of the people from the Taiyi Holy Land and the momentum of the attack on the roc imperial clan might change. Not only that, but if the human race¡¯s Elder King was defeated, the entire human race would probably suffer a blow. After all, Elder King had long become the pillar of the human race. Almost everyone in the human race believed that he was invincible, even when he was facing a Supreme Sage who was one realm higher than him! There were too many things that this battle would affect. Almost all the living beings on the Canglan Continent were paying attention to the two beings in the starry sky. Chapter 179 - Forbidden Pill Chapter 179: Forbidden Pill In the starry sky of outer space, the boundless sky was filled with Sagely might. Supreme Sage Peng Kong and Qin Chen both unleashed their powers. They were both using their most powerful supernormal knowledge to fight to the death. In the distant starry sky, stars were exploding one after another. ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯re indeed very strong. Even in the primordial era, you¡¯re definitely an existence comparable to the ancient Prince. However, you¡¯re still only a Sage King. Even if you have a quasi-Emperor weapon, you can¡¯t defeat me!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong unleashed his full power. His blood essence was burning as he turned into a huge roc. Even though he was suppressed by Qin Chen¡¯s quasi-emperor weapon while fighting, he became increasingly vicious as he fought. There were a few times when he almost forced Qin Chen into a corner. Qin Chen had all kinds of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, as well as quite a few heavenly emperor-grade ones. He was absolutely invincible among those in the same realm and had always been able to cross realms to kill his enemies. His combat strength could be said to be extremely heaven-defying. However, such heaven-defying combat power would gradually decrease as the cultivation realm increased. Just like now, Supreme Sage Peng Kong was only a level five Supreme Sage. Yet, even after Qin Chen used all his trump cards, he still couldn¡¯t take the other party down. It was far less easy than killing enemies that were a whole major realm higher than him. Even so, Qin Chen was already heaven-defying enough to fight with someone five minor realms higher than him. Moreover, the opponent was a Supreme Sage. If it was someone else, doing such a thing would simply be unimaginable. Even the ancient princes of the primordial age might not have been able to achieve such a feat. ¡°So what if you¡¯re a Supreme Sage? I can still kill you!¡± Qin Chen shouted coldly. His Chaotic Holy Body was recovering, and the Desolate Divine Halberd unleashed its might in his hand. The emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, and the heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, were cast at the same time. The entire starry sky was shrouded in boundless Sagely might. Many Sages who were watching the battle from the depths of the starry sky were shocked. They couldn¡¯t imagine that this was an attack from a Sage King realm cultivator. Supreme Sage Peng Kong was equally shocked as he hurriedly summoned his Supreme Sage weapon and ancient emperor-grade supernormal knowledge to defend himself. Even so, he was still heavily injured by Qin Chen and sent flying. His blood dyed the sky red. ¡°What? Supreme Sage Peng Kong was actually defeated! How is this possible?¡± ¡°To think the human race Elder King is so terrifying! Who in the ten thousand ancient races can stop him?¡± ¡°Can Prince Zhan compete with such heaven-defying combat strength? Can the ancient prince compete?¡± ¡°The combat strength of the human Elder King is heaven-defying and is already comparable to the son of the ancient emperors. It is destined that there will be a fierce battle of power in this era!¡± Everyone was shocked. In the entire ten thousand ancient races, apart from the ancient princes, no one could compete with the human race Elder King. On the other hand, the humans of the Canglan Continent were extremely excited. The human Elder King became even more invincible in their hearts as if he was their religion. Some even said that he would definitely become an Emperor in this era! These words were simply too shocking. One must know that ever since the arrival of the dharma-ending age, the great emperor realm had been unattainable. In the past million years, no one had reached the top. Even so, many still chose to agree with the statement. All of them felt that the human race¡¯s Elder King had the qualifications to become a great emperor. In the sky above the Roc Forest, everyone from the roc imperial clan was sweating. They couldn¡¯t imagine the consequences of Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s defeat. Some even regretted offending the human Elder King and blamed Supreme Sage Peng Kong and Supreme Sage Peng Zhen in their hearts. At this moment, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword flew out from the Roc Forest. It was recovering as it released a towering ancient imperial aura that caused the entire forest to tremble. In the blink of an eye, the Divine Roc Emperor Sword shot into the starry sky. Under Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s control, it shot toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen was fearless. He immediately revived the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword to block the attack and ate a Sage King pill. Then, he activated the Desolate Divine Halberd to continue killing Supreme Sage Peng Kong. The latter vomited blood as he was forced to retreat. ¡°Detestable! Human Elder King, you forced me to do this!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared and took out a crimson pill. The aura of the pill was even stronger than that of a Supreme Sage pill. After Supreme Sage Peng Kong ate it, his eyes turned blood red and he looked terrifying. His aura was also soaring. In just a few breaths, he had risen two levels and reached level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. ¡°Human Elder King, I¡¯ve already taken a forbidden pill. No matter how powerful you are, I¡¯ll kill you today!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared in anger and exploded with terrifying Sagely might. The Supreme Sage weapon in his hand was fully activated and could now fight against Qin Chen¡¯s Desolate Divine Halberd. The situation changed in an instant. Qin Chen was not his match and became suppressed by Supreme Sage Peng Kong instead. ¡°Kill!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong clearly lost all rationality from the killing. He unleashed the roc secret technique and ancient emperor supernormal knowledge at the same time. A terrifying Sagely might enveloped the starry sky. Qin Chen used his Desolate Divine halberd to block the attacks, but he was still knocked back and coughed out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Now that Supreme Sage Peng Kong has consumed a forbidden pill, the human Elder King is probably going to lose.¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s a little despicable, if we can get rid of the human race¡¯s Elder King, we¡¯ll be able to get rid of a great threat for the ten thousand ancient races,¡± Someone from the ten thousand ancient races snorted and wanted Supreme Sage Peng Kong to kill the human Elder King to prevent the latter from becoming an even greater threat. When the humans saw the battle in the starry sky, they were all furious and shouted at the ten thousand ancient races, ¡°How despicable! To think the Supreme Sage took a forbidden pill. You guys are really shameless! ¡°Hmph! To think a Supreme Sage would take a forbidden pill just to beat a Sage King, he¡¯s really shameless.¡± ¡°What ten thousand ancient races? Such shameless beings want to rule the Canglan Continent?¡± ¡°This is just despicable and shameless. To think he used such a despicable method. It¡¯s simply disgusting.¡± Hearing the humans¡¯ words, the ten thousand ancient races were all disgraced. However, they were also infuriated by the humans¡¯ clamor. Someone shouted, ¡°In a battle of life and death, it¡¯s only natural to go all out. So what if the Supreme Sage takes a forbidden pill?¡± ¡°Hmph, since he¡¯s so capable, the human race¡¯s Elder King should also take a forbidden pill! I¡¯m afraid that your human race can¡¯t produce a forbidden pill of this grade though!¡± One of the humans was infuriated upon hearing this. He brandished his Sage King weapon and shouted, ¡°Bullsh*t! Our human race¡¯s Elder King is unrivaled in talent. How would he do something that would damage his foundation? If you continue to be so shameless, we¡¯ll follow in the Elder King¡¯s footsteps and kill you!¡± The two sides were in a state of mutual hostility, and all sorts of Sage King weapons were being activated. If not for fear of the Supreme Sages on both sides, they would¡¯ve already fought to the death. The situation in the starry sky was not calm either. After Supreme Sage Peng Kong ate the forbidden pill, he advanced two levels in a row. Although it was only two levels, his strength had increased substantially. At one point, he was able to suppress Qin Chen. Qin Chen coughed out a mouthful of blood. Even with the Chaotic Holy Body, he was still heavily injured. Under the great killing techniques of Supreme Sage Peng Kong, Qin Chen fell into traps several times and was even in danger of losing his life. ¡°Kill!¡± The Chaotic Holy Body glowed and the rule of force was unleashed. All sorts of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge were unleashed. With a wave of the Desolate Divine Halberd, many stars were shattered. Qin Chen roared and charged toward Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Chapter 180 - Nine Chapter 180: Nine-cycle Green Lotus ¡°Give up, you can¡¯t be my opponent!¡± Peng Kong shouted, and his entire body emitted holy light. His Sagely might burst forth as he used the roc secret technique and the ancient emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. He fought fiercely with Qin Chen, causing the latter to vomit blood continuously. However, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t the only one who was injured. Qin Chen used the heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Thirty-three Heavens, to protect himself, while at the same time, he used the Resurrection Technique to recover from his injuries. He cast injury-for-injury techniques continuously, causing Supreme Sage Peng Kong to have a hard time. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong transformed into his true form, a hundred-thousand-foot huge roc. His claws, which were as sharp as divine metal, tore through Qin Chen¡¯s Thirty-three Heavens and crushed his shoulder. Blood splattered a few hundred feet away. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen bellowed and circulated the rule of force, striking out the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist with all his might, sending the hundred-thousand-foot roc flying. Supreme Sage Peng Kong transformed back into his human form and an explosive wound could be seen on his chest, leaving behind a shocking wound. He was clearly severely injured. Under such an injury-for-injury attack, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries were naturally much more severe than Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s. He was roaring like a wild beast, but even so, there was no fear in his eyes. ¡°Human Elder King, I admit that you are stronger than me, much stronger. However, your fate is set. You are destined to die in my hands. Die!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong shouted coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he activated his ancient emperor-grade supernormal knowledge once more, preparing to deal the final blow to Qin Chen. ¡°Destiny? But the one who¡¯s going to die is you!¡± Qin Chen sneered. The Sagely might in his body burst out, and his entire body emitted divine light. The injuries on his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only that but his soul and aura were also constantly improving. He said in a low voice, ¡°The first cycle of the Nine-cycles Green Lotus!¡± A green lotus appeared in the starry sky and wrapped around Qin Chen¡¯s body. Under everyone¡¯s disbelieving gaze, his injuries recovered instantly and his aura rose to its peak. Such a terrifying change shocked the world. ¡°What is this supernormal knowledge? To think it allowed him to instantly recover from his injuries, and even his soul has recovered to its peak state!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that even heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge can¡¯t compare to this!¡± ¡°To think the human Elder King has such a powerful supernormal knowledge. How can Supreme Sage Peng Kong win? ¡± ¡°The roc imperial clan is in danger. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re going to be exterminated.¡± The ten thousand ancient races were all shocked. They didn¡¯t think that the human race¡¯s Elder King would have such a trump card, and they were all worried for the roc imperial clan. The big scorpion also exclaimed, ¡°To think the Elder King had such a trump card. Could it be that he obtained this supernormal knowledge from the Demon Emperor Tomb?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian also spoke in a gratified manner, ¡°Why should we fear the ten thousand ancient races when we have such a genius? It would be great if the Elder King was a member of the Qin imperial clan.¡± In the distance, Prince Zhan lay on a white cloud as he looked up at the starry sky. He muttered, ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯re really a surprise. I wonder if I can defeat you!¡± ¡°Prince Zhan, you are the son of Emperor Dou Zhan. It is only a given that you can suppress a mere human!¡± The Supreme Sage of the battle sage ape snorted. In his eyes, Prince Zhan was invincible. He could suppress the Elder King of the human race with a single hand. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t underestimate the human race. Even in the Dharma-Ending Age, there were great emperors in the human race. According to the records, the human race¡¯s Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was an existence comparable to the primordial heavenly sovereign,¡± Prince Zhan shook his head. Whether it was in the past or now, he always felt that the human race was closer to the myriad paths. He would never underestimate the human race. The battle Sage ape Supreme Sage¡¯s eyes narrowed and he didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he looked into the starry sky and stared at the human Elder King. In the starry sky, Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s face was ashen. His eyes were filled with shock. He couldn¡¯t believe that there was such supernormal knowledge in the world. What kind of great figure could create this? ¡°Peng Kong! Now, do you know your end?¡± Qin Chen asked. Supreme Sage Peng Kong swallowed a mouthful of blood, then gritted his teeth as he said, ¡°Human Elder King, I¡¯m willing to die. How about you let my race go?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it! I¡¯ll kill you, and I¡¯ll also exterminate the roc imperial clan!¡± Qin Chen said coldly. Since he had already made up his mind, he would naturally not change his mind just because of a single sentence from Supreme Sage Peng Kong. ¡°You insist on killing us all?!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Kong bellowed in rage. ¡°You should¡¯ve expected this to happen back when you provoked me,¡± Qin Chen nodded and said in a deep voice. Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. He didn¡¯t say anything more to Qin Chen. Instead, he looked at the primordial sage race across the starry sky and said in a deep voice, ¡°Lord of the primordial sage race, my race is willing to hand over the ancient imperial artifact. Please save my race!¡± ¡°Peng Kong, you should have agreed long ago. Then, you wouldn¡¯t be in such a sorry state,¡± A voice came from the depths of the East Sea. An old man at the peak of the Supreme Sage realm walked out of the primordial sage race¡¯s ancestral land. For a moment, everyone looked over. ¡°To think another Supreme Sage of the Primordial sage race has been revived, and he¡¯s at the peak of the Supreme Sage realmz1 From what Supreme Sage Peng Kong said, there seems to be a deal!¡± ¡°The primordial sage race has actually produced another expert at the peak of the Supreme Sage realm. Isn¡¯t their foundation too strong?!¡± ¡°Supreme Sage Peng Kong wants to use an ancient imperial weapon in exchange for the primordial sage race¡¯s protection for the roc imperial clan?¡± ¡°The human race has a God realm expert who has a deep grudge against the primordial sage race. Aren¡¯t they afraid that the appearance of the primordial sage race¡¯s expert will attract the attention of the human race¡¯s God to kill them?¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s God realm expert is already heavily injured and is hiding in seclusion. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? The appearance of the primordial sage race will definitely change the current situation.¡± The ten thousand ancient races were all shocked. They couldn¡¯t believe that the primordial sage race had produced another peak Supreme Sage. As expected of the primordial sage race which was one of the top three most powerful races in the primordial era. They had many Supreme Sages. What was even more unbelievable was that Supreme Sage Peng Kong was willing to use the ancient imperial weapon in exchange for the help of the primordial sage race. That was an ancient imperial weapon they were talking about! Supreme Sage Qin Tian furrowed his brows and said to the primordial sage race¡¯s elder, ¡°Fellow Daoist, this matter is a personal grudge between the human race¡¯s Elder King and the roc imperial clan. You shouldn¡¯t interfere.¡± The Primordial sage race elder looked at Qin Tian with disdain. He snorted, ¡°The ten thousand ancient races are one. Today, the human race¡¯s Elder King wants to exterminate one of us. The primordial sage race naturally can not sit by and do nothing.¡± ¡°Fellow cultivator, if you make a move, you will be declaring war on the entire human race! Have you thought it through?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian asked. The primordial sage race elder¡¯s eyes narrowed as he looked at Qin Tian. He replied in a deep voice, ¡°So what if we start a war?¡± ¡°Since your primordial sage race wants to start a war, then let¡¯s do it!¡± Without waiting for Qin Tian¡¯s reply, Supreme Sage Duanmu rushed over from the Southern Desolate Land. Above his head hung an emperor¡¯s bottle. It was the extreme emperor weapon of the Duanmu family, the Heaven-devouring Emperor¡¯s Bottle. At the same time, three more waves of emperors¡¯ might came. Three human Supreme Sages came from the ancestral lands of the three immortal divine dynasties. Extreme emperor weapons were also being activated in the sky above the Cao and Dugu families, and the entire Canglan Continent was shrouded in emperors¡¯ might. Chapter 181 - The Submission of the Ancient Imperial Clan Chapter 181: The Submission of the Ancient Imperial Clan Sx extreme emperor weapons were being revived on the Canglan Continent, and the terrifying emperor¡¯s might made the continent tremble. All living beings felt a chill run down their backs as they prayed in their hearts for the heavens to protect them. ¡°The humans are reviving six extreme emperor weapons on the Canglan Continent. Are they trying to destroy the continent?¡± ¡°The human race has gone too far. This is provoking public anger!¡± ¡°If all six extreme emperor weapons are fully activated, how many gods in the Canglan Continent can survive?¡± ¡°The human race is too much! They¡¯re gambling with everyone¡¯s lives!¡± The ten thousand ancient races roared in rage, all of them shocked by the actions of the human race. None of them expected that the human race would be so decisive in resurrecting their extreme emperor weapons. If a war broke out, even Sages would be affected, so how could they escape? The primordial sage race¡¯s elder also frowned and snorted at Qin Tian, ¡°Humans, you¡¯re going against all the living beings on the Canglan Continent by doing this. Have you guys thought it through?¡± ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s the primordial sage race that¡¯s going against all the living beings of the Canglan Continent. You¡¯re the ones who wanted to start a war!¡± Qin Tian snorted coldly and had no intention of stopping. The elder¡¯s face darkened and he did not dare to act rashly. After all, now that things had come to this, he would become the target of public anger if he still insisted on making a move. Although the primordial sage race was one of the strongest races in the primordial era, they did not dare to offend the masses. In the starry sky, Qin Chen took in everything that was happening. When he saw the fear on the primordial sage race elder¡¯s face, he snorted at Supreme Sage Peng Kong, ¡°Peng Kong, who else can save you now?¡± With that, Qin Chen didn¡¯t hesitate any longer and unleashed his full power. His Chaotic Holy Body activated again, and the Desolate Divine Halberd was unleashed. He cast his emperor-grade supernormal knowledge as he attacked Supreme Sage Peng Kong with all his might. In just a few rounds, Supreme Sage Peng Kong was forced to retreat. He spat out blood and his life was in danger. ¡°Divine Roc Emperor Sword!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong roared in anger as he used all his strength to activate the Divine Roc Emperor Sword. An ancient imperial might surged forth, temporarily blocking Qin Chen¡¯s attack. However, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword also unleashed its power at this moment. It slashed out a 100000-mile sword energy that shattered the ancient imperial might and sliced Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s body in half. ¡°Pfft!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong coughed out a huge mouthful of blood. The life force in his body was draining away. Even with the protection of the Sagely might, it would be long before he died. He was at his end. ¡°Human Elder King, only Peng Zhen and I have targeted you. You can kill the two of us, but can you let the rest of my clansmen go?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong gritted his teeth and shouted. He used his Supreme Sage power to hang on to his last breath, hoping that Qin Chen would not destroy the roc imperial clan. Qin Chen frowned, his expression hesitant. While he did have a grudge against the roc Imperial clan, it was just as Supreme Sage Peng Kong had said. The only people he had a grudge against were Supreme Sage Peng Kong and Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. He didn¡¯t particularly hate anyone else. However, before he entered the Demon Emperor Tomb, he had already announced to the world that he was going to exterminate the roc imperial clan when he returned. If he only killed the two of them, wouldn¡¯t the ten thousand ancient races think that his words weighed nothing in the future? As Qin Chen was hesitating, Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s body was quickly dissipating. Seeing that the former was still unwilling to agree, he gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°If you agree, I can make my race submit to you forever!¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He immediately asked, ¡°Are your words true?¡± Supreme Sage Peng Kong nodded, ¡°As long as you let my race off, my race is willing to submit to you for all eternity.¡± ¡°Very well! I promise you that I will only kill you and Peng Zhen,¡± Qin Chen agreed without hesitation. After all, if the roc imperial clan did submit to him, his faction would be much stronger. And, it would be a huge blow to the ten thousand ancient races. After receiving Qin Chen¡¯s confirmation, Supreme Sage Peng Kong smiled and shouted at the Roc Forest across the starry sky, ¡°From today onwards, ancient Sage Peng Wei will be the race leader of the roc imperial clan. The roc imperial clan shall submit to the human Elder King!¡± Everyone was shocked! They couldn¡¯t believe their ears as they exclaimed, ¡°Has Supreme Sage Peng Kong gone crazy? To think he wants to submit to the human Elder King!¡± ¡°The roc imperial clan is an ancient imperial clan. How can they submit to the human Elder King?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Why would Supreme Sage Peng Kong submit? This is impossible!¡± ¡°This can¡¯t be true. The human Elder King must have done something to Supreme Sage Peng Kong. Otherwise, why would he give such an absurd order?¡± ¡°The roc imperial clan can not submit to the human Elder King! Otherwise, they¡¯ll be considered a traitor, and the ten thousand ancient races will come together to deal with them!¡± In the great ROC forest, the face of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen turned pale. He knew that this was an order from Supreme Sage Peng Kong to protect the roc imperial clan. He also knew that he would not be able to escape death. However, he did not dare to escape. After all, if he escaped, what would happen if the human race¡¯s Elder King vented his anger on the roc imperial clan? One had to know that there was no one in the entire roc imperial clan who could stop the human Elder King now. ¡°What should we do, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen?¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei asked. Supreme Sage Peng Kong sighed and said in a deep voice, ¡°We¡¯ll listen to the patriarch and submit to the human Elder King. Only then can we protect the roc imperial clan.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei was suddenly at a loss for words. His eyes were filled with frustration, but there was nothing he could do. He then led the five roc Sage Kings and the ancient Sages to bow to the human Elder King and said in unison, ¡°We are willing to submit!¡± The ten thousand ancient races immediately exploded as countless of them roared and cursed at the roc imperial clan. ¡°Roc imperial clan, you¡¯re traitors of the ten thousand ancient races! Even if the human race¡¯s Elder King doesn¡¯t kill you, we¡¯ll still exterminate your entire race!¡± ¡°Detestable, this is simply a great humiliation. If the ancient Roc Emperor was still alive, he would have slapped all of you cowards to death.¡± ¡°Traitor! My devilish ox race will definitely annihilate your entire race one day to prove the might of the ten thousand ancient races!¡± ¡°A bunch of spineless cowards! My wild boar race will never let you off!¡± A black ox and a long-saber boar raised their heads and roared. Sage King might erupted from their bodies as they declared that they would annihilate the roc imperial clan. The devilish ox race and the wild boar race were both in the top 30 of the ten thousand ancient races, and they were extremely powerful. They had many ancient Sages and Sage Kings. Seeing this, the eyes of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen turned cold. His heart was filled with anger as he unleashed his Supreme Sage might, slapping the two and causing them to spit out blood as they flew backward. ¡°Hmph!¡± He coldly snorted, ¡°When our race was in danger, not a single one of the ten thousand ancient races was willing to help. The primordial sage race considered themselves the leader of the ten thousand ancient races, but the condition for their help was actually our race¡¯s ancient imperial weapon. How shameless! If that¡¯s the case, why should we stay in the ten thousand ancient races?¡± Chapter 182 - Start a War? Chapter 182: Start a War? When they heard Supreme Sage Peng Zhen¡¯s words, many from the ten thousand ancient races hung their heads in guilt. After all, compared to the human race, the ten thousand ancient races truly weren¡¯t very united. However, many were still displeased. They felt that even though the ten thousand ancient races were not very united, this was not a reason for the roc imperial clan to betray them. As an ancient imperial clan of the ten thousand ancient races, the roc imperial clan shouldn¡¯t have done something so spineless, even if they were to be exterminated. ¡°Peng Zhen, you¡¯re too extreme. Your race is seeking death by doing this!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race snorted coldly and extended his palm unhurriedly. He channeled the power of the heavens and earth and unleashed his Supreme Sage-grade supernormal knowledge, striking toward Supreme Sage Peng Zhen. The terrifying Sagely might struck and everyone in the roc imperial clan was affected. Many of those with insufficient cultivation had their internal organs shattered, and they spat out mouthfuls of blood. Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, who was the target of the attack, had an even uglier expression on his face. Before the attack of the primordial sage race¡¯s elder even landed, he felt as if his body was about to split apart as his soul was trembling. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Supreme Sage Peng Zhen roared in anger as he unleashed his full power. He used the roc secret technique and turned into a 100000-foot roc. Then, he leaped and charged toward the primordial sage race¡¯s elder. However, the difference in power between the two was simply too great. The moment Supreme Sage Peng Zhen clashed with the primordial sage race elder¡¯s supernormal knowledge, his body split open. Blood splattered everywhere as he fell into the void. ¡°Patriarch!¡± Ancient Sage Wei Peng roared as his expression turned extremely ugly. He had never thought that the roc imperial clan, which was one of the ancient imperial clans, would suffer such a miserable fate. ¡°You really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you! The roc imperial clan shall be annihilated just like this!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race snorted coldly. He had no intention of stopping as his Supreme Sagely might erupted forth while his supernormal knowledge was still circulating, blasting towards Ancient Sage Peng Wei and the others. He was going to annihilate the entire roc imperial clan! ¡°Primordial sage race, don¡¯t you go too far!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei roared as he and the rest of the roc imperial clan made a move to form a spiritual energy barrier to protect themselves. Unfortunately, the difference in strength between them and the primordial sage race¡¯s elder was too great. As soon as the primordial sage race elder¡¯s supernormal knowledge landed, the light shield shattered inch by inch, turning into spiritual energy fragments that filled the sky. ¡°Pfft!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei and the others coughed out a mouthful of blood. They were all severely injured. Looking at the primordial sage race elder¡¯s supernormal knowledge attack that came at them, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with despair. However, at this moment, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was revived in the starry sky and slashed across the starry sky. An emperor might attacked. This sword had the power to destroy the world as it shattered the primordial sage race elder¡¯s supernormal knowledge. Qin Chen used his spiritual energy to hold the Supreme Sage Peng Kong¡¯s body as he appeared in the sky above the Roc Forest. He looked at the primordial sage race elder coldly and said, ¡°If the primordial sage race wants to start a war with the human race, do continue making a move.¡± The Supreme Sage elder¡¯s eyes turned cold and he said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you humans a little too overbearing? The ten thousand ancient races are cleaning up the traitor, and you want to interfere? Do you think only you humans have extreme emperor weapons?¡± A Supreme Sagely might burst out, and everyone present quieted down. Under the pressure of the Supreme Sagely might, even their breathing became heavy. Qin Chen was fearless. He activated the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand and blocked the primordial sage race elder¡¯s Sagely might. Then, he snorted, ¡°You can kill Supreme Sage Peng Zhen, but you can¡¯t destroy the roc imperial clan.¡± ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯re overstepping your boundaries!¡± The eyes of the elder from the primordial sage race turned cold. his Supreme Sagely might soared instead. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t intend to let this matter rest. The big scorpion came behind Qin Chen and whispered, ¡°Elder King, the primordial sage race is the number one race in the primordial era. If he really wants to go to war with the human race, even if the human race has emperor weapons, they may not win. Besides, aren¡¯t you also here to exterminate the roc imperial clan? It¡¯s better to take a step back and settle the score with them when you¡¯ve improved more in the future.¡± ¡°Since the roc¡¯s imperial clan has already submitted to me, I can¡¯t let them be destroyed by others. So what if it¡¯s the primordial sage race? If they want to fight, then let¡¯s fight. Others might be afraid of them, but I¡¯m not!¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly. The Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand exuded the quasi-emperor might as he confronted the elder from the primordial sage race. Both sides were at daggers drawn and were in a stalemate for a long time. Seeing Qin Chen like this, the big scorpion did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he silently took out his Supreme Sage weapon as well and looked at the ten thousand ancient races with a face of fear. Supreme Sage Duanmu held the Heaven-devouring Emperor¡¯s Bottle and walked over the void. He shouted, ¡°Primordial sage race, if you want to fight, the human race will accompany you to the end!¡± As soon as he said that, Sage King Cao, Sage King Dugu, and the Supreme Sages from the three immortal divine dynasties all rushed over. They all had their extreme emperor weapons hanging above their heads. Even though their weapons had not been revived yet, everyone from the ten thousand ancient races gasped. ¡°Even the human race¡¯s imperial clans have arrived. Are they going to start a war with the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°If they want to fight, then let¡¯s fight! Do you think we, the ten thousand ancient races, would be afraid?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We have eight imperial clans and more ancient imperial weapons than the human race. Humans should be the ones who are afraid.¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t the other ancient imperial clans making any moves? Are they still going to continue watching? ¡± Just as everyone from the ten thousand ancient races was shouting for the ancient imperial clans to make a move, a 10000-feet-tall battle sage ape projection walked out from not far away and said, ¡°Prince Zhan has declared that the battle sage ape race will remain neutral in the conflict between the human race and the primordial sage race.¡± At the same time, a child¡¯s voice came from the North Castle, ¡°The stance of my race is the same as the monkey¡¯s. We will remain neutral. However, the war can not affect the Wind Imperial Dynasty, or I will kill whoever who does something toward them.¡± A cloud of demonic energy appeared in the sky above the Central Province and turned into a terrifying ghost face. It sneered and said, ¡°If the human race goes to war with the primordial sage race, the demon god race can help out.¡± In the Southern Desolate Land, Supreme Sage Wu Tian of the ancient shaman race appeared in the sky. He cupped his hands at the primordial sage race elder and said humbly, ¡°Senior, the ancient shaman race is not good at fighting. We won¡¯t get involved in this war.¡± In just a short while, four of the eight great ancient imperial clans had expressed their stance one after another. They had all chosen to remain neutral and had no intention of helping the primordial sage race deal with the human race. The faces of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ members all fell. They had never expected these four ancient imperial clans to react like this. ¡°This can¡¯t be. The battle sage ape race, the divine silkworm race, and the ancient shaman race have all chosen to remain neutral. The demon god race is actually going to help the human race? Are the ancient imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races that disunited?¡± ¡°Three great ancient imperial clans are neutral, while the demon god race supports the human race. With this, how can we, the ten thousand ancient races, go to war with the human race?¡± ¡°The human race is so united, but we, the ten thousand ancient races, each have our own thoughts. If this continues, how can we recover our glory from the primordial era?¡± ¡°Sigh! Without the support of the four great ancient imperial clans, the ten thousand ancient races will be in grave danger if we start a war with the human race.¡± Chapter 183 - The Great Era Is Coming Chapter 183: The Great Era Is Coming Hearing the wails of the ten thousand ancient races and the laughter of the human camp, the confidence and morale of the humans soared! ¡°The ten thousand ancient races are finished. What do we humans have to fear?¡± Hmph, ever since the ten thousand ancient races were revived, they¡¯ve destroyed so many holy lands and cities of the human race. It¡¯s time to settle the score.¡± ¡°Now that the roc imperial clan has defected and the demon god race is willing to help, we humans will definitely win this battle!¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races annihilated my family. I¡¯ve endured humiliation to live until now just for this moment. Elder King and Supreme Sages, please start the war!¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races have always bullied the human race. Elder King and Supreme Sages, please start a war!¡± Shouts rang out from all directions, and many humans shouted for war. The majority of them were homeless due to the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ acts, and they were all shouting with bloodshot eyes, determined to start a war with the latter! The ten thousand ancient races were shocked when they saw this. None of them had thought that the human race, which they had always treated as ants, would dare to declare war on them! In an ancient forest near the Demon Emperor Tomb in Western Heaven, Prince Zhan and the battle sage ape¡¯s Supreme Sage were looking at the Roc Forest. When they saw how eager the human race was to fight, the Supreme Sage suddenly said, ¡°Your Highness, are we really going to remain neutral? If war does break out and our race doesn¡¯t act, I¡¯m afraid that our followers will leave.¡± ¡°If they want to leave, just let them do so,¡± Prince Zhan chuckled, then said, ¡°When my father was still in power, he once predicted the future. He said that once the primordial era was over, the human race would definitely rise. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve never made things difficult for the human race. Since that¡¯s the case, why do I have to be at odds with them now? Besides, we¡¯re not the only ones who are neutral.¡± ¡°So Emperor Dou Zhan had calculated this? It seems I¡¯ve been overthinking,¡± The battle sage ape¡¯s Supreme Sage gasped in shock, then fell silent. In the Wind Imperial Dynasty of the Nort Castle, the eight-shedding divine silkworm stood beside a young girl. The young girl was devastatingly beautiful, and her every movement had the air of a noble. She looked at the commotion in Western Heaven with a trace of worry in her eyes. ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to worry about these things. Recently, I have sensed that heaven and earth are recovering. The Dharma-Ending Age is about to end. Sister, you should prepare yourself. Once the Dharma-Ending Age is over, I will help you break through to the Sage realm,¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm clearly had the appearance of a child, but it spoke like an old man. The whole scene was thus amusing, causing the young girl to smile. The girl smiled and nodded. She pinched the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s face and replied, ¡°Alright, Xiao Ba. I understand.¡± In the Southern Desolate Lands, Supreme Sage Wu Tian of the ancient shaman race stood in the sky. However, he did not look at the Roc Forest. Instead, he carefully sensed heaven and earth. After 15 minutes, he suddenly said, ¡°The world is about to recover. The war of the great era is about to begin!¡± The great path buzzed, and every word he said was related to the secrets of the heavens. Even though Sage Kings were paying attention to him at all times, they still could not hear any word he said. Back in the Roc Forest, the human race was still clamoring, causing many experts of the ten thousand ancient races to be unhappy. However, there was nothing they could do. After all, they didn¡¯t dare to agree to start a war with the human race. ¡°You¡¯re too noisy!¡± The primordial sage race elder couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He shouted at the human camp, and his power was unleashed. The power of the great path trembled as a terrifying pressure came, making everyone feel suffocated. At this moment, the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle emitted a rainbow light that protected all the humans and blocked the terrifying pressure from the primordial sage race elder. Qin Tian also activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and stepped forward in the air. He shouted at the primordial sage race elder, ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you attack again, it will be a declaration of war. At that time, the human race will definitely not show any mercy.¡± ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re threatening me!¡± The primordial sage race elder roared. Even though Qin Tian had the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, he was not the least bit afraid. Instead, he released his Supreme Sagely might and attempted to attack the other party. ¡°So what if I¡¯m threatening you?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly and the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand was activated. Back when the Supreme Sage of the primordial sage race had attacked him, he was already filled with anger towards the race. Now that he saw the primordial sage race¡¯s elder acting so arrogantly, his anger intensified. ¡°How arrogant! Human, you are seeking your destruction!¡± A shout was heard. The roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes could be heard from the horizon. The primordial dragon race and the primordial phoenix had arrived. They were all in their true forms, with bodies hundreds of thousands of feet long, covering the clouds and the sun. At the same time, a loud noise could be heard from the Southern Desolate Lands. A giant was walking, and in just a few steps, he arrived at the Roc Forest. Next to the giant was an elder with a face full of black tattoos. They were the Supreme Sages of the giant and skyfall races. The appearance of four Supreme Sages instantly ignited the flames of the ten thousand ancient races, and everyone began to cheer. ¡°Haha, four great ancient imperial clans are here. Does the human race dare to continue being so arrogant?¡± ¡°Hmph! Didn¡¯t the human race want to start a war? Then let¡¯s start a war! I¡¯d like to see how long the human race can last against our ten thousand ancient races!¡± ¡°Our ten thousand ancient races have the foundation of a whole era. Why would we fear mere humans? My race is willing to be the vanguard!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to war with the human race! The ten thousand ancient races will definitely win!¡± The ten thousand ancient races clamored. Having been provoked by the human race just now, there were long enraged. Now that the experts of four great ancient imperial clans had arrived, they had the confidence to clamor at the human camp as well. The human camp showed no signs of fear. Many had burning eyes. After hearing the clamor of the ten thousand ancient races, they shouted in unison, ¡°Start the battle! Start the war!¡± Both parties had bloodshot eyes, and everyone was in a frenzy. The Roc Forest was like a barrel of gunpowder, and a spark would be enough to blow up the entire Canglan Continent. Qin Tian looked at the majestic human camp. He had once gone to war with Qin Shihuang, and now, his battle intent was burning. His Sagely might burst forth as he shouted at the primordial sage race elder and the four Supreme Sages of the ancient imperial clans, ¡°Shall we start the war?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the human camp shouted in unison, ¡°Start the battle! Start the war!¡± The fighting spirit of the ten thousand ancient races was also ignited as they roared back, ¡°Fight! Battle!¡± The primordial sage race elder¡¯s eyes narrowed. He had not expected things to turn out this way. He never thought that the human race would be so decisive. However, since things had come to this, he could only shout, ¡°Fight!¡± For a time, the entire Canglan Continent was shaken by this news, and many ancient races launched attacks on the human race¡¯s territory. At the same time, the human race experts also charged into the territories of the ten thousand ancient races, causing smoke to rise and the battle to reach the heavens. In the sky above the Central Province, Supreme Sage Wu Tian looked at the chaotic Cangaln Continent with an unfathomable look in his eyes. His body exuded Sagely might and the power of the great path swirled around his fingertips. Then, he suddenly said, ¡°The great chaos has arrived, and the great era is about to come. Yet, I can¡¯t see the future¡± Chapter 184 - Challenge Chapter 184: Challenge In Western Heaven¡¯s Roc Forest, the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were in a standoff. At this moment, both parties had already declared war. Everyone¡¯s eyes were vicious, and they only needed a single order to begin the most intense battle. Looking at this scene, the big scorpion could not help but gulp. He said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, isn¡¯t this going too far?¡± ¡°Ever since the ten thousand ancient races revived, they¡¯ve been oppressing the human race. Although the appearance of a God realm expert caused them to exercise some restraint, most of them don¡¯t acknowledge the human race from the bottom of their hearts. Thus, this battle will ensue sooner or later,¡± Qin Chen held the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand. His face was solemn as he stared at the primordial sage race elder. He snorted with a hint of worry in his eyes. Supreme Sage Qin Tian was a level 7 Supreme Sage, making him the current strongest person in the human race and also the pillar of support for everyone in the human race. He held the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword in his hand, and his Supreme Sage power burst out, releasing a terrifying pressure. He said coldly, ¡°In half a month, the Sages of both parties will fight in the starry sky. It will be a battle to the death!¡± Hearing this, the elder from the primordial sage race agreed decisively and shouted, ¡°Very well!¡± ¡°Why half a month later? They don¡¯t have many people, and they don¡¯t have an ancient imperial weapon yet. Why don¡¯t we just kill them with our extreme emperor weapons?¡± The big scorpion said anxiously. Qin Chen shook his head and sighed, ¡°The power of the extreme emperor weapons is too great. If they were to be revived on the Canglan Continent, I¡¯m afraid it would destroy the entire continent. This is not the result that we humans want.¡± ¡°In half a month, the human race and the roc imperial clan will be exterminated!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race snorted coldly. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared. Seeing this, the other ten thousand ancient races also began to retreat. Looking at the backs of these ten thousand ancient races, a trace of worry appeared on Qin Tian¡¯s face. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Inform all the Holy Lands and aristocratic families that we will hold a human race conference in the Great Qin Dynasty tomorrow!¡± ¡°Yes, patriarch!¡± One of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Venerable received the order and left immediately. Supreme Sage Qin Tian then gave Qin Chen a few more instructions before leaving with the people of the Great Qin Dynasty. The rest of the humans did the same and left Roc Forest. ¡°Thank you, human Elder King, for protecting our race!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei brought all the Sage Kings and ancient Sages of the roc imperial clan over to bow to Qin Chen. Qin Chen shook his head and said softly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. Since your race has submitted to me, I will naturally protect you. However, if you have any ill intentions, don¡¯t blame me for making a move.¡± ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t worry. The roc imperial clan never goes back on our words. Since we have already announced to the world that we will submit to you, we naturally won¡¯t be half-hearted and do anything shameless,¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei assured while patting. To show his loyalty to Qin Chen, he was even about to swear an oath. Qin Chen glanced at the people behind Ancient Sage Peng Wei and suddenly said, ¡°In half a month, the human race will go to war with the ten thousand ancient races. Do you know where you stand?¡± ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t worry. The roc imperial clan will advance and retreat with the Elder King and the human race!¡± Ancient Sage Peng Wei replied decisively. He did not have the arrogance he had when he first met Qin Chen. Qin Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, then looked at the Roc Forest and said, ¡°More than half of the Roc Forest has been destroyed, so it¡¯s no longer suitable for living. From now on, you and your clansmen can go live in the Taiyi Holy Land. If you can¡¯t bear to leave, it¡¯s fine if half of your clansmen go first.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Ancient Sage Peng Wei and the group of sages behind him furrowed their brows. They knew very well that the human Elder King was intending to use half of the roc imperial clan¡¯s clansmen as hostages. Ultimately, it was because he didn¡¯t fully believe in their submission. Given that the roc imperial clan no longer had the right to choose, Ancient Sage Peng Wei did not hesitate for long before agreeing, ¡°Thank you, Elder King. I¡¯ll arrange for my people to go to the Taiyi Holy Land in a moment.¡± Qin Chen nodded, then waved his hand and returned with all the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. Back at the Taiyi Holy Land, the big scorpion whispered in Qin Chen¡¯s ear, ¡°Elder King, what you¡¯re doing is a little immoral, no? The roc imperial clan has already declared their allegiance to you, yet you still want half of their people to come here as hostages?¡± ¡°What do you know? Since I protected them from the primordial sage race, I do trust them. However, we must always be on our guard against others. It¡¯s just for assurance that I¡¯m keeping half of their people as hostages so that all the humans can rest assured,¡± Qin Chen explained slowly. He had watched a lot of novels and TV shows on Earth in his previous life, so he naturally knew such political tactics. The next morning, Ancient Sage Peng Wei brought half of his clansmen to the Taiyi Holy Land, while Qin Chen brought the big scorpion to the Great Qin Dynasty. The Great Qin Dynasty was now filled with a black mass of people. They were all here to watch the human race conference. After all, this was a conference that concerned the survival of the human race. ¡°Patriarch Jiu Long of the Great Qian dynasty has arrived!¡± A shout could be heard as a white light streaked across the sky. An elder appeared in the sky above the Great Qin Dynasty. He took a step forward and entered the palace. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Patriarch Jiu Long to still be around. He was the most ruthless Imperial Lord in the Great Qian dynasty in 10000 years. Almost all the experts of his generation were killed by him. He¡¯s a true god of death,¡± Someone exclaimed. His eyes were full of admiration. It was a great fortune to be able to meet such a legendary figure. At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a red wedding dress appeared. Her every movement was full of feminine charm. When the young men saw the smile on her face, their faces blushed as they gulped. ¡°The eldest Princess of the Jiuli Dynasty has arrived! She¡¯s the only Empress of the Jiuli Dynasty. It¡¯s said that she fell in love with a genius when she was young, but the genius betrayed her on the day of her wedding. From that day on, the eldest Princess wore a red wedding dress and killed all the unfaithful people in the world!¡± Following this, many experts rushed over from all directions. There was the Great Xia Dynasty¡¯s Patriarch Qing Long, the Dugu family¡¯s Sword God, the Cao family¡¯s Sage Dujie, the Duanmu family¡¯s Patriarch Kuang Ren, and so on. All the immortal divine dynasties, imperial clans, Holy Lands, and aristocratic families of the human race had sent people. They were all famous people, and each of them was once a strong expert who had dominated an era. At the same time, a big scorpion that covered the sky flew over. Qin Chen stood on the back of the scorpion, looking very impressive. Compared to the seniors like the Patriarch Jiu Long and the eldest Princess, his aura was not much weaker. ¡°The Elder King has arrived! The Elder King has arrived!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s appearance caused the Great Qin Dynasty to be in an uproar. However, some of the powerful cultivators who came to participate in the human race conference looked extremely unpleased when they saw this scene. Chapter 185 - The Number of Top Experts in the Human Race Chapter 185: The Number of Top Experts in the Human Race ¡°So this is the Elder King who has recently gained a lot of fame. To think he¡¯s so arrogant while being a mere Sage King!¡± An old man with a head of white hair and a walking stick snorted coldly. He was the patriarch of a reclusive family and was known as Patriarch Wandu. ¡°Poisonous old man, you seem sour. The current world is becoming more and more unsuitable for cultivation. For thousands of years, no one in the human race has broken through the Sage realm, yet the Elder King became a Sage King in the current era. If the people don¡¯t follow him, would they follow you, an old poisonous man who is about to die?¡± The Duanmu family¡¯s Patriarch Kuang Ren sneered. He had always thought highly of Qin Chen. Now that he heard someone else¡¯s sour words, he naturally couldn¡¯t stand it with his bad temper. ¡°Old man Duanmu, aren¡¯t you disrespecting us old fogeys? The Elder King is, after all, only a junior. How can he be compared to us, the seniors?¡± The one who spoke was an old woman, an old patriarch of a Holy Land. She had peerless ice techniques and was respectfully called the Ice Mother by the world! At this moment, Qin Chen and the big scorpion rushed over. Qin Chen got off the back of the big scorpion, and the big scorpion also transformed into a human, following the former. Qin Chen cupped his hands at the crowd and said, ¡°Greetings, seniors!¡± Hmph, you¡¯re here to attend the human race conference, yet you¡¯re using the power of the great path to hide your face. Did you do something shameful and are afraid of being recognized?¡± Patriarch Wandu immediately said harsh words to Qin Chen, making things difficult for the latter. Patriarch Kuang Ren was instantly displeased when he heard this. He immediately cursed, ¡°Old poison, did you eat shit? What a foul mouth! If you don¡¯t know how to speak, then shut up. Others don¡¯t need the stench.¡± Patriarch Wandu¡¯s eyes turned cold as he glared at Patriarch Kuang Ren. His Sagely might was slowly recovering. If not for his fear, he would have attacked the latter long ago. At this moment, Ice Mother also opened her mouth, ¡°Old man Duanmu, why are you so agitated? Could it be that this brat has given you some benefits?¡± ¡°F*ck you, you ice woman. Since you¡¯re speaking up for that old poisonous man like this, could it be that you¡¯ve taken a fancy to him and want to have an old-aged relationship with him?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren coldly snorted, his words extremely degrading. Ice Mother¡¯s face turned red with anger, and she immediately unleashed her Supreme Sagely might as she roared at Patriarch Kuang Ren, ¡°Old man Duanmu, you¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°You want to fight? Could it be that I was right?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren laughed heartily. Even at this moment, he was still fearless. ¡°Bastard!¡± Patriarch Wandy roared and a green poisonous mist spread out from his body. It turned out that the walking stick in his hand was a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Under the patriarch¡¯s control, it gave off a powerful aura. ¡°Stop!¡± A shout was heard as Supreme Sage Qin Tian appeared. He glared at the three of them and said in a deep voice, ¡°You¡¯re still having internal strife at a time like this? Do you want the ten thousand ancient races to laugh at us?¡± Under the terrifying Supreme Sagely might, Ice Mother and Patriarch Wandu did not dare to continue their attack. They could only be aggrieved in silence. Seeing that things had settled down, Qin Chen cupped his hands at everyone again and said, ¡°Seniors, I¡¯ve hidden my identity because I have some personal difficulties. However, please rest assured that I¡¯m definitely not an evil person.¡± ¡°My fellow Daoists, the human race conference concerns the survival of the human race. We should unite and fight against the enemy together,¡± Patriarch Qing Long spoke up at this time. ¡°Patriarch Qing Long is right. I hope that you can act justly for the sake of the human race in this moment of life and death. Since everyone is here, please follow me!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian agreed. After that, he led everyone into the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Palace. In the resplendent hall, they began the human race conference. Among the many experts that were attending the human race conference, there were nine Supreme Sages, 15 Sage Kings, and more than 20 Sages. Such a lineup was enough to destroy any far ancient imperial clan. Supreme Sage Qin Tian was the first to speak, ¡°The battle in half a month concerns the future of the human race. I hope that all the major factions can take out all their reserves. Furthermore, I hereby promise that the Holy Lands and families that will be participating in the battle in half a month will be under the protection of the four great dynasties for all generations. Therefore, everyone should give it their all in this battle!¡± Hearing this, the patriarchs of many families and the Holy Lands didn¡¯t hold back anymore. ¡°Yaoguang Holy Land has two Sage Kings and four Sages.¡± ¡°The Sun family of the Central Province has three Sages.¡± ¡°The Cao family has one Supreme Sage, three Sage Kings, and six Sages.¡± ¡°The Dugu family has five Sage kings and ten Sages.¡± ¡°The Duanmu family has one Supreme Sage, five Sage Kings, and five Sages.¡± Hearing these words, Qin Chen and the big scorpion were both stunned. They had never thought that the human race would have so many experts. Qin Chen, who had been worried about the battle that would happen in half a month, was now more confident. The big scorpion exclaimed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the human race to grow so quickly. With so many experts, we might be able to win the war in half a month.¡± After 15 minutes, Supreme Sage Qin Tian added up the reserves of all the factions and said in a deep voice, ¡°According to the statistics, we have 11 Supreme Sages, 36 Sage Kings, and 62 Sages in total.¡± As soon as he said that, everyone was excited. With so many experts and extreme emperor weapons, they were more confident about the races¡¯ war in half a month. ¡°Hahaha!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren laughed, ¡°Since the human race has so many experts, why should we fear the ten thousand ancient races? I¡¯ll want to have a good fight in half a month.¡± ¡°Brother Duanmu is right. With the current reserves of the human race and the extreme emperor weapons, we can annihilate the ten thousand ancient races!¡± Patriarch Qing Long also echoed loudly with full confidence. Everyone in the hall laughed out loud. All of them felt that the human race would win the war in half a month. Seeing the morale of the crowd rise, Supreme Sage Qin Tian wanted to say something. However, when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he could not say them. In the end, he swallowed them back. At this moment, Patriarch Wandu suddenly spoke, ¡°I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re so happy about. With such weak reserves, the human race will definitely lose in the war in half a month.¡± ¡°You old poisonous man, what nonsense are you talking about? To think you¡¯re boosting the morale of others and diminishing our prestige. Do you believe that I¡¯ll kill you with a single palm strike first?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren roared as his Sagely might erupted. There was a murderous look in his eyes, and it didn¡¯t seem like he was just saying it. Patriarch Wandu had a trace of fear on his face as he clutched his walking stick tightly, ready to activate the Sage King weapon at any moment. He then spoke again, ¡°Old man Duanmu, do you know the true strength of the ten thousand ancient races? I¡¯m telling you, in the war half a month from now, the human race will definitely lose!¡± Chapter 186 - Alarmist Talk Chapter 186: Alarmist Talk Hearing Patriarch Wandu¡¯s words, many experts were furious. Sagely might burst out everywhere in the hall, and the terrifying aura shook the hall, lighting up many array patterns. ¡°B*stard, I think you¡¯ve received some benefits from the ten thousand ancient races and have come here to delude the morale of the human race. I¡¯ll kill you with one slap right now!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren was furious. He unleashed his full power and Supreme Sagely might. An emperor-level supernormal knowledge was circulating in his palm. If this attack landed, the entire hall would probably be reduced to ruins. Patriarch Wandy was shocked. He had not expected Patriarch Kuang Ren to really dare to make a move! He hurriedly activated the Sage King weapon in his hand and circulated his supernormal knowledge to block the attack with all his might. ¡°All of you, stop!¡± A bellow was heard as Supreme Sage Qin Tian activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. His emperor¡¯s might enveloped the hall and instantly shattered the attacks of the two, allowing the precarious hall to return to its original appearance. ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, this old poisonous man is definitely a spy from the ten thousand ancient races. If we don¡¯t kill him now, wouldn¡¯t it be even worse if he betrays us half a month later?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren said, his eyes filled with killing intent. ¡°I¡¯m just speaking the truth,¡± Patriarch Wandu quickly retorted.¡±When did I become a spy for the ten thousand ancient races? Do you know that almost every ancient imperial clan has three self-sealing Supreme Sages? moreover, our enemy is the most powerful of the ten thousand ancient races, the primordial sage race. How can the human race win the war in half a month?¡± ¡°What? All ancient imperial clans have three self-sealing Supreme Sages?! If that¡¯s the case, won¡¯t there be 15 Supreme Sages in the ten thousand ancient races in half a month?¡± Someone exclaimed with a hint of despair in his eyes. If that were the case, how could the human race win? Qin Chen also frowned. Supreme Sages were the top fighting power of both parties. Even if one of the parties only had one more than the other, it would still tip the scales of victory. Moreover, the primordial sage race had an elder at the peak of the Supreme Sage realm. If what Patriarch Wandu said was true, the future of the human race was indeed a little worrying. Many experts in the hall shook their heads, their morale falling to the extreme. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with worry. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned serious. He then said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s just a few more Supreme Sages. Are you all going to wait for death?¡± ¡°Brat, even one more Supreme Sage is enough to change the outcome, let alone the fact the ten thousand ancient races have so many more Supreme Sages. How are we going to fight in half a month?¡± Patriarch Wandu pursed his lips in disdain. Qin Chen bellowed, ¡°If we can win, we will fight. Even if we can¡¯t, we will still fight. We will fight to the death. We will not rest until we die. All of you are outstanding figures of your respective generations. Are you going to be cowards before the battle even begins?¡± Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Patriarch Kuang Ren loudly echoed, ¡°The Elder King is right. It¡¯s just a few more Supreme Sages. Leave them to me and I¡¯ll kill them all with my extreme emperor weapon.¡± At this moment, Supreme Sage Qin Tian spoke up, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. The human race might not necessarily lose this battle. Don¡¯t forget that the demon god race said that they would help us. Furthermore, we still have a God-realm expert. Even if we lose, do you think the ten thousand ancient races will really dare to kill us all?¡± When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Especially when Supreme Sage Qin Tian mentioned the old lunatic, everyone could not help but think of the battle of the Gods not long ago. Instantly, their confidence increased and they all sang along. ¡°You¡¯re right. we humans still have a God realm expert. Why should we fear the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°Fight to the death! We won¡¯t stop until we die!¡± ¡°Hmph, back then, I could fight ten peers at the same time. It¡¯s just a few more Supreme Sages, I can suppress them all!¡± ¡°Well said! Everyone, don¡¯t be frightened by the old poisonous man¡¯s words. The human race will definitely win this battle!¡± ¡°I think Patriarch Kuang Ren is right. That old poisonous man is just trying to boost the morale of others. He might be a spy from the ten thousand ancient races! ¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone¡¯s worried expressions were replaced by battle intent. Many raised their fists and loudly scolded Patriarch Wandu for being an alarmist. They were about to kill him. Patriarch Wandu¡¯s expression changed drastically. He didn¡¯t expect that a few words from the Elder King and the others would cause the public to project their anger on him. Looking at the group of experts exuding Sagely might, he couldn¡¯t help but feel terrified. When Ice Mother saw this, she quickly changed the topic and said in a deep voice, ¡°The demon god race¡¯s intention is unclear. Why don¡¯t we take the initiative to send someone to contact them? If they¡¯re willing to help us, we might be able to win the war in half a month.¡± ¡°The demon god race is bloodthirsty and isn¡¯t friendly to humans. Who should we send to contact them? ¡± Someone asked. Ice Mother took the opportunity to look at Qin Chen and said, ¡°In my opinion, it¡¯s appropriate to let the Elder King go. After all, the Elder King is famous among the ten thousand ancient races. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to convince the experts of the demon god race.¡± As soon as she finished saying this, Patriarch Wandu loudly echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right. If the Elder King goes, he will definitely live up to everyone¡¯s expectations and successfully convince the demon god race¡¯s experts.¡± When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense. All of them looked at Qin Chen, wanting to know what he thought of the idea. The big scorpion frowned and whispered in Qin Chen¡¯s ear, ¡°Elder King, the demon god race is not a race that can be easily provoked. These two are clearly scheming against you, you must not agree to this.¡± Qin Chen looked at Ice Mother and Patriarch Wandu and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m willing to go to the demon god race. However, as everyone knows, the demon god race has always been bloodthirsty. I¡¯m afraid this trip will be dangerous. Why don¡¯t the two seniors, Ice Mother and Patriarch Wandu, come with me? This way, I¡¯ll have more confidence in my trip to the demon god race.¡± ¡°Indeed. Only with two Supreme Sages can we ensure the Elder King¡¯s safety and let the demon god race know the strength of our human race.¡± ¡°The Elder King is an outstanding talent of our human race. We have to ensure his safety. We¡¯ll have to trouble you the old poisonous man and Ice Mother.¡± ¡°Supreme Sages, you must protect Elder King.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll have to trouble the two Supreme Sages. We¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Without giving the two a chance to refuse, the crowd agreed on their behalf, causing the two to feel as if ten thousand f*cks were flooding their hearts. The way they looked at Qin Chen also became increasingly disdainful. Although Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother did not want to escort Qin Chen to the demon god race, they had no choice but to agree. ¡­ The human race conference ended soon. Qin Chen did not return to the Taiyi Holy Land because he had to visit the demon god race. Instead, he stayed in the palace with the big scorpion. Late at night, Qin Chen was cultivating in his bedroom. At this moment, he sensed a familiar aura. Without any hesitation, he got up and chased after it. When he arrived at an auction in the imperial city, he actually saw the Five-feathers Fan that the old lunatic had taken away! Chapter 187 - Fake Emperor Chapter 187: Fake Emperor-grade Supernormal Knowledge Treasure Pavilion Auction was the largest auction in the Great Qin Dynasty, and every time it helped an auction, rare treasures would appear. Even Sage King weapons could be bought here, though one would have to pay a great price. Qin Chen followed the familiar aura and arrived at the auction. He saw that the Treasure Pavilion was auctioning the final item, the Five Feathers Fan that Qin Chen had refined. On the auction stage, the Five Feathers Fan was placed under a glass cover that had a restriction placed by a Venerable, preventing ordinary people from lifting it. In addition, there were many powerful auras around the auction stage. Preliminary sensing it, Qin Feng knew that there were at least one Venerable and four Kings around. Even an ordinary Holy Land wouldn¡¯t be able to bring out such a powerful lineup. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. Then, he suddenly looked at a sky-level private room on the second floor. In that private room, he could actually sense the aura of a Sage. Although it was very subtle, he could still catch it with his sharp senses. Due to the array set up by the Sage around the private room, Qin Chen could not tell who the person inside was. However, he was sure that he had met this person before. He must have attended the human race conference during the day. A Qiyao King was hosting the auction. He looked at the introduction of the Five Feather Fan in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but say loudly, ¡°Everyone, today¡¯s finale is an extraordinary treasure. It¡¯s a Sage King supreme-grade weapon, the legendary Five Feathers Fan!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction house instantly flooded with excited chatter. Many experts secretly released their soul power to check the Five Feathers Fan but were all blocked by the glass cover in the end. Then, all of them showed serious expressions. On the second floor, an old level 7 Heavenly King suddenly spoke, ¡°There are no Supreme Sage weapons in this world. The Sage King supreme-grade weapons are the most powerful weapons now. Why would the Treasure Pavilion auction off such a treasure? Is there something fishy going on?¡± The host looked over and cupped his hands, ¡°Please rest assured, the Treasure Pavilion has never cheated anyone. There¡¯s no problem with the quality of this Sage King supreme-grade weapon. However, the seller¡¯s request is also very high. He wants an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique. If anyone is interested, please tell me the grade and name of the cultivation technique and the supernormal knowledge that you have. After the seller has made his decision, we can proceed with the exchange.¡± ¡°Hmph! To think the seller dares to demand an exorbitant price! Emperor-grade techniques and supernormal knowledge are extremely precious, and they¡¯re the foundation of all the major factions. Even though a Sage King supreme-grade weapon is precious, it can¡¯t be compared to the emperor-grade techniques and supernormal knowledge.¡± ¡°This fellow Daoist is right. Is there anyone here who can produce an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique at the same time? Host, you should persuade the seller to change the condition!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Taiyue Sect can only offer one Sage-grade cultivation technique and one emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. However, we can also add in a two-hundred-thousand-year-old Sage herb.¡± Everyone was shocked by these words. Sage herbs could increase one¡¯s lifespan by thousands of years. It was enough to bring a person back from the dead. Even a Sage would yearn for such an item. At this moment, someone in an earth-level private room on the second floor suddenly said, ¡°I have an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique here that can satisfy the seller¡¯s request.¡± Everyone looked over in shock. Many experts released their soul power again. They wanted to know who was so rich that he could take out an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique at once. Could it be the descendant of some imperial clan? Qin Chen was also surprised. He did not expect that such a small auction could gather so many experts. To think they could even exchange for emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques. However, the Five Feathers Fan was a treasure that he had spent a lot of effort to refine. Its quality was definitely not only at the grade of a Sage King supreme-grade weapon, but even beyond a Supreme Sage weapon. Naturally, Qin Chen was unwilling for it to fall into the hands of others. After discreetly changing his appearance, using the power of a great path to conceal his looks, and suppressing his aura to that of the King realm, Qin Chen raised his paddle and said, ¡°I also have an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique that I can trade with the seller.¡± The crowd looked over with disbelief. Many experts sent their soul powers over, but they were all blocked by Qin Chen. At this moment, the people in the heaven-level and earth-level private rooms sent out their soul powers as well. what surprised Qin Chen was that both of them were Sages! However, even if it was the soul power of a Sage, Qin Chen could easily hide from it and not expose his identity. Just as everyone was in shock, there was movement from the heaven-level private room as the person in it said, ¡°I¡¯m also willing to exchange for the weapon with an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique.¡± Everyone could no longer remain calm as they had question marks on their faces. Someone exclaimed, ¡°Damn, that¡¯s emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques! To think seven of them appeared all of a sudden, this is too unbelievable!¡± ¡°Junior, there¡¯s no need to be so surprised. We¡¯re talking about emperor-grade techniques and supernormal knowledge, but in fact, they¡¯re fake ones created by God-realm experts. Although they¡¯re precious, they¡¯re still far from the real emperor-grade techniques and supernormal knowledge. Most of the big factions on Canglan Continent have them,¡± An old man stood out to explain, and only then did everyone quiet down. After all, if there really were seven Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques, it would probably cause a huge uproar. It wouldn¡¯t be strange even if some old monsters were drawn out. Qin Chen was a little surprised. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. As for the fake emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques, he naturally had them. After all, he had been checking in at the Taiyi Holy Land for so many years. Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the host bowed at Qin Chen and the private rooms on the second floor before saying loudly, ¡°Please tell our attendant the grade and characteristics of your cultivation technique and supernormal knowledge. We will pass it on to the seller and he will decide on the final result.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a curvaceous waitress with an alluring figure walked toward Qin Chen. She was a very good-looking Master realm cultivator. No matter which family or holy land she was in, she would¡¯ve definitely been a target of nurturing, but here, she could only be a waitress! ¡°Sir, you can use voice transmission to tell me about your supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique. The auction house will definitely not leak the information you have given,¡± The waitress said in a sweet voice and even threw a flirtatious look at Qin Chen. Qin Chen had a heart of steel, so he naturally wasn¡¯t tempted. He transmitted his voice, ¡°The items I¡¯m offering are God-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique. The cultivation technique is of the advanced God grade, called the Nine Yang Divine Technique. The supernormal knowledge is also of the advanced God grade, called the One Yang Divine Finger. The two complement each other, and their combined power is much stronger than any advanced God-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique.¡± Chapter 188 - The Auction Chapter 188 The Auction Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the waitress was surprised. She didn¡¯t expect that Qin Chen would offer advanced God-realm supernormal knowledge and cultivation technique that complemented each other. To be able to take out a technique and supernormal knowledge of this grade, he was undoubtedly a true big shot. Thus, the waitress¡¯s eyes lit up, and her expression became increasingly charming. She threw a flirtatious look at Qin Chen and said softly, ¡°Sir, why don¡¯t I take you to the private room upstairs?¡± ¡°D*mn, it¡¯s not my first time here, but I¡¯ve never realized that the staff here could be so slutty!¡± ¡°What do you know? The staff of the Treasure Pavilion has all cultivated the art of charm. As long as they find a big shot, they will do everything they can to please him. You didn¡¯t notice it before because you don¡¯t have the strength, and no one paid you any attention.¡± ¡°Comparison kills! One day, when I become a peerless powerhouse, I¡¯ll definitely come to the Treasure Pavilion to have some fun.¡± ¡°What are you talking about? A peerless expert? You? I think you should go back and dream, that would be faster!¡± the surrounding noise was endless, and Qin Chen really couldn¡¯t stand it, so he nodded and agreed. He followed the waitress to the black-level private room on the second floor. The private room was huge with luxurious decorations. There were spiritual fruits and spiritual spring water on the table, and the sofa was placed so that anyone sitting on it could conveniently see the auction stage. It was much better than the noisy downstairs. ¡°Sir, the seller needs to consider his choices for a while. Won¡¯t you let me massage your feet?¡± After a while, the waitress walked in and changed into a revealing dress, which made her look even more charming, luring people into an endless reverie. However, Qin Chen was unmoved. After coming to this world for so long, he had long cultivated a firm heart. This little temptation was not enough to even stir his heart. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. May I know who are the people in the heaven-level and earth-level private rooms?¡± He said in a deep voice. The waitress did not feel surprised or disappointed at being rejected by Qin Chen. After all, the chances of a big shot like Qin Chen taking a fancy to her were almost zero. Hence, she still responded with a warm smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sir. We can¡¯t disclose our guests¡¯ information. Please understand. If you¡¯d like to know, I can help you send a message to the guests in the two private rooms.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Qin Chen snorted and did not say anything else. He waited for the final result quietly. Seeing this, the waitress tactfully waited at the door and did not try to seduce Qin Chen again. After half an hour, the seller finally made a decision. The host announced loudly, ¡°My three distinguished guests, the seller has made his final decision. He has chosen the cultivation technique and supernormal knowledge of the heaven-level private room guest. However, he is also very interested in the cultivation technique and supernormal knowledge of the black-level private room guest. If the black-level private room¡¯s guest can take out another Sage herb, he is willing to trade with you.¡± As soon as these words came out, surprised exclamations came from the heaven and earth-level private rooms. Obviously, they did not expect such an outcome. Qin Chen was also surprised. One must know that the technique and supernormal knowledge he offered were both true treasures in the outside world. He never thought that the person in the heaven-level private room could actually offer a higher price. This made him even more curious about the other party¡¯s identity. Therefore, Qin Chen took out a Sage herb and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m willing to offer two more Sage herbs, but I want to see the seller. I have something to ask him.¡± Hearing this, the host hesitated for a moment before replying, ¡°Please wait a moment, sir. I need to ask the seller.¡± At this moment, a voice also came from the heaven-level private room, saying, ¡°I¡¯m also willing to take out two more Sage herbs!¡± As soon as these words came out, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with surprise. However, before anyone could react, Qin Chen raised his hand and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll add five Sage herbs.¡± Everyone took in a breath of cold air, and someone exclaimed, ¡°No way, are Sage herbs so cheap now? Five Sage herbs can already be exchanged for a fake emperor-grade supernormal knowledge!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the person in the black-level private room? I¡¯m afraid not even a Holy Land¡¯s Holy Lord can do something like this.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. His cultivation prowess seems to be only in the King realm. If he¡¯s not hiding his cultivation prowess, he might not be able to leave safely after the auction.¡± Many people cast discreet glances at the black-class private room. Although a King was already a powerful expert in the outside world, they were nothing here. After all, almost half of the people on the first floor were Kings. At this moment, a Sagely might was suddenly emanated from the heaven-level private room, ¡°Friend, I really like this fan. Please give it to me. I¡¯ll remember this favor as a Supreme Sage. I¡¯ll also offer five Sage herbs.¡± ¡°No way! To think the person in the heaven-level private room is a Supreme Sage! Could he be the patriarch of some imperial clan?¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk. I didn¡¯t expect to see a Supreme Sage tonight. This trip was not in vain!¡± ¡°Since a Supreme Sage has spoken, the person in The black-level private room would give in, right?¡± ¡°Of course. After all, Supreme Sages are the strongest in the world. It can¡¯t be that there¡¯s a Supreme Sage in the black-level private room too, right?¡± The scene was quite chaotic. Everyone looked at the heaven-level private room with admiration. After all, Supreme Sages were the top experts of the human race. It wasn¡¯t like they could be seen everywhere. Qin Chen sensed the aura and a face instantly appeared in his mind. He snorted, ¡°So it¡¯s you, you old thing.¡± Then, he sneered and replied loudly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I have to get the Five Feather Fan. Host, I¡¯ll offer ten Sage herbs, but I still want to meet the seller.¡± ¡°No way! This man actually dares to fight with a Supreme Sage over the auction item. Could he be a Supreme Sage too?¡± I don¡¯t know, but if this person isn¡¯t strong, he must be an idiot. Someone who can take out ten Sage herbs shouldn¡¯t be an idiot, right? ¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, tonight is really lively! Those two must be extraordinary big shots. I wonder who they are?¡± When the people heard Qin Chen¡¯s reply, they were all shocked. Everyone was sure that he must be a great figure. Even if he wasn¡¯t a Supreme Sage, he must have a powerful backer. The host gulped. He had hosted many auctions, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene. He replied carefully, ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll go inform the seller.¡± After the host left, the aura of the Supreme Sage came from the heaven-level private room. A terrifying soul force enveloped Qin Chen, and the Supreme Sage let out a cry of surprise. He asked frankly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, who are you? Why don¡¯t you show yourself and let¡¯s have a chat?¡± Chapter 189 - Tension Chapter 189: Tension When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the private room where Qin Chen was, all wanting to know his identity. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to expose himself, so he simply replied softly, ¡°I¡¯m just here to buy something, I don¡¯t intend to make friends.¡± At this moment, a burst of Sagely might suddenly burst out from the heaven-level private room. Two beams of golden light shot out from a pair of eyes, penetrating the wall and landing on Qin Chen. This was a Supreme Sage technique. The person was trying to see through the power of the great path on Qin Chen¡¯s body and see the latter¡¯s true appearance. The golden light continued to eat away at the power of the great path on Qin Chen¡¯s body. however, Qin Chen naturally would not let the other party do as he wished. With a muffled groan, he secretly circulated his Chaotic Holy Body, and the power of the great path suddenly exuded a Sagely might, blocking the two golden lights. Qin Chen stood up and walked to the window. He snorted coldly at the heaven-level private room, ¡°You old poisonous man, you want to see my appearance with this little trick?¡± The window of the heaven-level private room flew open, and Patriarch Wandu appeared before everyone. He retracted the golden light from his eyes and snorted, ¡°You¡¯re trying so hard to hide and even acting like a villain. I have reason to believe you¡¯re a spy from the ten thousand ancient races!¡± ¡°What? He¡¯s someone from the ten thousand ancient races? No wonder he dared to fight with Patriarch Wandu for that weapon! That¡¯s Patriarch Wandu!¡± ¡°Now that the human race is at war with the ten thousand ancient races, how can we sell a Sage King supreme-grade weapon to them?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, we can¡¯t sell the Five Feathers Fan to him!¡± ¡°Hmph, to think a ten thousand ancient races spy dares to come to the human race¡¯s territory. Patriarch Wandu, please take him down!¡± Everyone was led astray by Patriarch Wandy and thus treated Qin Chen as a spy of the ten thousand ancient races. Not only did they denounce him, but they also clamored that the Five Feathers Fan could not be sold to him. Qin Chen¡¯s face darkened and his eyes were filled with anger. He said coldly, ¡°Old poisonous creature, you¡¯re truly vicious to the extreme! Back at the human race conference, you said that the Elder King was a spy for the ten thousand ancient races, and now you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m a spy for the ten thousand ancient races. Could it be that everyone else is a spy for the ten thousand ancient races besides you?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen burst out with a monstrous Sagely might. The terrifying pressure intimidated everyone present, and no one dared to say anything bad about him. ¡°Ahem, to think Patriarch Wandu called the Elder King a spy? Isn¡¯t that stupid? The Elder King has killed so many of the ten thousand ancient races. There¡¯s seriously something wrong with his brain if he¡¯s calling the Elder King a spy.¡± ¡°Be quiet. Patriarch Wandu cultivates poison techniques and is extremely vicious. During the era when he was famous, the human race was chaotic.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s the case. No wonder he even dared to frame Patriarch Wandu. I think he¡¯s the spy of the ten thousand ancient races instead.¡± ¡°Hmph, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the survival of the human race is at stake, such a person would probably be killed as soon as he was revived. How could he still be accusing others here?¡± Some people were secretly discussing Patriarch Wandu¡¯s past with divine power. If Patriarch Wandu was not around, these people would have openly scolded him. However, even though they were using divine power to transmit their voices, it was useless in front of Sages like Qin Chen and Patriarch Wandu. Every word they said was clearly heard by the two. Patriarch Wandu¡¯s face was so gloomy it seemed ink could drip out of it. He had wanted to accuse Qin Chen of being a spy of the ten thousand ancient races and force the latter to reveal his identity to prove his innocence. However, he had not expected Qin Chen to bring up what had happened at the human race conference, causing him to fall into the center of public opinion. At this moment, the host suddenly walked out. When he saw Qin Chen and Patriarch Wandu standing in front of the windows upstairs, he couldn¡¯t help but be puzzled. He bowed to the two of them and said, ¡°Sir, the seller said that he can trade with you and answer any questions you have, but the transaction must be in the Treasure Pavilion, and he won¡¯t show his face.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Qin Chen nodded in agreement. He only wanted to know how the Five Feathers Fan ended up in the Treasure Pavilion. As for who the seller was, he did not care at all. The fake emperor-grade cultivation technique, supernormal technique, and ten Sage herbs were nothing to him. Patriarch Wandu couldn¡¯t help but frown when he saw this. He really wanted the Five Feathers Fan, and he had even offered a supreme God-level supernormal knowledge for it. Seeing the Five Feathers Fan fall into Qin Chen¡¯s hands, he was naturally very unwilling. ¡°The Five Feathers Fan is a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. It can not fall into the hands of the ten thousand ancient races. If you don¡¯t reveal your identity, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t let you take it,¡± He suddenly said. Seeing that Patriarch Wandu was still trying to stir up trouble, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed and turned sharp. He looked straight into Patriarch Wandu¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°What if I insist on taking the Five Feather Fan?¡± ¡°That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so, fellow Daoist,¡± Patriarch Wandu shouted coldly. His Supreme Sagely might descended, shaking the Treasure Pavilion. Everyone trembled as if the end of the world had arrived. Qin Chen was fearless. After all, he had even killed Supreme Sage Peng Kong, so how could a mere Patriarch Wandy be his match? He also unleashed his Sagely might and easily blocked Patriarch Wandu¡¯s might. He confronted the latter in the air and snorted, ¡°Then let¡¯s try.¡± At this moment, an elder in the Sage realm walked out of the earth-level room. He cupped his hands at Qin Chen and Patriarch Wandu and said softly, ¡°Two respected sirs, the Treasure Pavilion is only an auction place. I hope the two of you won¡¯t display your might here.¡± It turned out that the Sage who was auctioning in the earth-level private room was the Patriarch of the Treasure Pavilion. Since the seller of the Five Feather Fan insisted on auctioning it off, the Patriarch of the Treasure Pavilion had no choice but to attend the auction in person. He had thought that he could get the Five Feathers Fan, but he did not expect that two important figures, Qin Chen and Patriarch Wandu, would appear, shattering his dream. ¡°I have no intention of making things difficult for this fellow Daoist. As long as he can prove that he isn¡¯t a spy from the ten thousand ancient races, I will turn around and leave without another word,¡± Patriarch Wandu replied. His Supreme Sagely might intensified, and he had no intention of stopping. ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± Qin Chen coldly said. Patriarch Wandu stomped his walking stick hard on the ground, shaking half of the Imperial City, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± ¡°You can try!¡± Qin Chen was not afraid either. He also took out a Sage King weapon that he rarely used. An emperor-grade supernormal knowledge was circulating in his palm as he confronted Patriarch Wandu. Seeing that the two of them were not willing to back down, the eyes of the elder from the Treasure Pavilion darkened and he spoke again, ¡°The Treasure Pavilion is a property of the Great Qin Dynasty. If the two of you destroy this place, Supreme Sage Qin Tian will settle the score with you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. No one would have thought that the backing of the Treasure Pavilion was the Great Qin Dynasty! Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, Patriarch Wandu suddenly shouted, ¡°Even if Supreme Sage Qin Tian is here, if this person can¡¯t prove his identity today, he can forget about leaving with the Five Feathers Fan!¡± Chapter 190 - The Might of the Five Feathers Fan Chapter 190: The Might of the Five Feathers Fan Upon hearing the words of the Patriarch Wandu, everyone was shocked. Supreme Sage Qin Tian was the most powerful person in the human race. None of them had expected that Patriarch Wandu would not respect Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Qin Chen was also surprised. Patriarch Wandu had not been this arrogant at the human race¡¯s conference. It had only been a few hours and now Patriarch Wandu did not even care about Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Could he have some hidden trump card? That being said, even if Patriarch Wandu had a trump card, Qin Chen was not afraid at all. He snorted, ¡°Old poisonous man, your arrogance is truly unparalleled. I¡¯d like to see if I can take the Five Feathers Fan away today.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen grabbed across the air at the glass cover on the auction stage. With that, the glass cover which even a venerable could not open easily exploded. Under Qin Chen¡¯s control, the Five Feathers Fan exuded a terrifying pressure, cut through the void, and flew right into his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about taking the Five Feathers Fan away!¡± Patriarch Wandu shouted and unleashed his Sagly might. He raised his palm and struck out a peerless supernormal knowledge at Qin Chen. A terrifying pressure came, and a huge hand appeared in the night. All the living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Treasure Pavilion trembled. Those who didn¡¯t know what was going on were all stunned. They thought that a Sage from the ten thousand ancient races had come to ambush them. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. He didn¡¯t expect that Patriarch Wandu would really dare to make a move here. He snorted and unleashed his Sagely might. Then, he used emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and forcefully pushed the giant hand into the sky. Even so, the terrifying aftershock still toppled many houses. Some weaker cultivators suffered from the unexpected disaster and died on the spot. A wave of killing intent came from Qin Chen. He looked at the Patriarch Wandu coldly and snorted, ¡°We will battle in space!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped into the void and reappeared in outer space. Patriarch Wandu did the same. ¡°Leave the Five Feathers Fan behind and I¡¯ll let you go,¡± Patriarch Wandu snorted and unleashed his Supreme Sagely might. His terrifying aura filled the sky. ¡°After saying so much, aren¡¯t you just trying to get your hands on the Five Feathers Fan? I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± Qin Chen roared as he activated the Five Feathers Fan with all his might. A towering Sagely might was unleashed and the starry sky trembled. The shadow of a one-hundred-thousand-foot roc appeared and the cries of a roc could be heard as the golden-winged roc rushed toward Patriarch Wandu with a monstrous aura. ¡°How could you awaken the Five Feathers Fan straight away?¡± Patriarch Wandu was shocked. He couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. To think Qin Chen had managed to revive the Five Feathers Fan. Had the fan already recognized the other party as its master before this? Facing the golden-winged roc¡¯s attack, Patriarch Wandu didn¡¯t dare to be careless. The walking stick in his hand was fully activated, releasing the power of a Sage King supreme-grade weapon. Combined with peerless supernormal knowledge, he struck at the roc. ¡°Chris!¡± The golden-winged roc cried out. Its wings flapped, shattering the stars. In just one exchange, it had forced Patriarch Wandu back. It released a monstrous aura again and attacked. Patriarch Wandu¡¯s expression was unsightly. He didn¡¯t expect the Five Feathers Fan to be so terrifying that even his Sage King weapon couldn¡¯t block it. Seeing the golden-winged roc charging at him again, Patriarch Wandu went all out, but he was still no match for the roc. In just a few dozen rounds, he was sent flying. There was a shocking bloody wound on his chest, and he looked very miserable. This was the first time that the Five Feathers Fan had shown its power, and the terrifying power shocked even Qin Chen. He was sure that the fan was a treasure that was far more powerful than a Supreme Sage weapon. ¡°Bastard! You forced me to do this,¡± Patriarch Wandu shouted as if he was about to use his trump card. But at that moment, a wave of Sagely might struck. A huge hand appeared in the starry sky, helping Patriarch Wandu block the golden-winged roc¡¯s oncoming attack. Supreme Sage Qin Tian appeared in the starry sky. He looked at the golden-winged roc that was still displaying its might and could not help but be shocked. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°Fellow Daoist, the human race is on the brink of destruction. Please let him go!¡± Upon seeing the appearance of Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Qin Chen put away the golden-winged roc and replied, ¡°I will respect your words.¡± ¡°Hmph, I think he¡¯s just feeling guilty. He¡¯s a spy from the ten thousand ancient races. Supreme Sage Qin Tian, the power of the Five Feathers Fan is astonishing. We can¡¯t let him take it away like this,¡± Patriarch Wandu was still unwilling to give up. He insisted that Qin Chen was a spy of the ten thousand ancient races and even asked that Supreme Sage Qin Tian stopped the other party from leaving with the weapon. Supreme Sage Qin Tian frowned and looked deeply at Qin Chen. He did not think that the other party was a member of the ten thousand ancient races. Thus, he barked at Patriarch Wandu, ¡°Patriarch Wandu, if you continue to frame others, I will punish you severely.¡± Hearing Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s words, Patriarch Wandu¡¯s eyes darkened and he revealed a look of dissatisfaction. However, he did not make any more baseless accusations. ¡°Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t you come with me to the imperial palace for a chat?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian cupped his hands, treating Qin Chen as a reclusive great sage of the human race. He wanted to rope him in so that they could set off together to war in half a month. Qin Chen naturally knew what Qin Tian was thinking of. Thus, he secretly transmitted a message to Supreme Sage Qin Tian and told him his identity. Then, he replied, ¡°I still have important matters to attend to, so I won¡¯t trouble you, Supreme Sage Qin Tian.¡± After receiving Qin Chen¡¯s message, Supreme Sage Qin Tian was shocked. He did not expect the Elder King¡¯s combat power to be so terrifying. To think the latter could suppress Patriarch Wandu without using a quasi-Emperor weapon. One should know that the Elder King had not broken through to the Supreme Sage realm yet! ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t keep you here any longer,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian cleared his throat. After saying this, Supreme Sage Qin Tian left with Patriarch Wandu, while Qin Chen returned to the Treasure Pavilion once again. Looking at the damaged building, Qin Chen cupped his hands at the Treasure Pavilion¡¯s Patriarch and said guiltily, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, fellow Daoist. I¡¯ve damaged your place.¡± ¡°Sir, you are simply too polite. Only some array patterns and decorations were damaged, it¡¯s not very serious,¡± The Patriarch of the Treasure Pavilion replied with a smile. He was very polite to Qin Chen. After all, this person was someone who could speak on equal terms with Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Qin Chen took out the Nine Yang Divine Technique and One Yang Divine Finger, as well as ten Sage herbs, ¡°These are the items that I previously agreed to auction. Fellow Daoist, please have someone take me to see the seller.¡± The Patriarch of the Treasure Pavilion nodded and personally led Qin Chen to a secret room. There was a man wearing a mask in the secret room. Although his face could not be seen, one could tell that the man was in his prime. However, what surprised Qin Chen was that the man was a Sage! Chapter 191 - Phoenix Blood Chapter 191: Phoenix Blood When the masked man saw Qin Chen walking over, he cupped his hands at Qin Chen and bowed as a junior. He said softly, ¡°Greetings, senior. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will answer everything I know and will not hold back.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the human race to have such a young Sage. May I know which faction you¡¯re from?¡± Qin Chen exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise. Although the masked man¡¯s cultivation was one major realm and several minor realms lower than his, the masked man did not have a system cheat. For him to reach the Sage realm at such a young age, he could be said to be a true peerless monster. The masked man didn¡¯t tell Qin Chen his identity. Instead, he smiled and replied, ¡°Senior is praising me too much. I am only an unaffiliated cultivator that has no factions. Furthermore, the only one who can be called a monster is the Elder King. I am still far from him.¡± As he spoke, the masked man¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. Qin Chen did not expect the masked man to be his little fan! Since the masked man did not want to reveal his identity, Qin Chen did not continue asking. Instead, he went straight to the point, ¡°Where did you get this Five Feathers Fan?¡± The masked man seemed to have guessed that Qin Chen would ask this question, so he answered frankly, ¡°Senior, I obtained it by chance in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest.¡± ¡°The Phoenix¡¯s Nest?!¡± Qin Chen frowned and exclaimed. The Phoenix¡¯s Nest was one of the nine great forbidden grounds. Why was the Five Feathers Fan there? Could the old lunatic be there too? If that was the case, how did the masked man manage to bring the Five Feathers Fan out of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest? ¡°Did you really get the Five Feathers Fan in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest? Have you seen a disheveled old man there?¡± Qin Chen asked two questions in a row, his eyes solemn. The masked man nodded, ¡°Yes, senior. I did find Five Feathers Fan in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. As for the old man you¡¯re asking about, I didn¡¯t see him. However, something seems to have happened there. It¡¯s filled with the corpses of the most vicious creatures, and there seems to be Phoenix blood!¡± ¡°Phoenix blood!¡± Qin Chen exclaimed again. This news was simply too shocking. The phoenix was a legendary divine beast that was on par with the true dragon. Every adult phoenix had the strength of a God. If there really was splattered phoenix¡¯s blood, could it be that someone had injured the phoenix? To be able to injure the phoenix, could it be the great emperor? Qin Chen¡¯s face was filled with question marks. He looked at the masked man and asked with a serious face, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s phoenix blood?¡± ¡°It should be. The blood did not smear like ordinary blood, and it contained the rule of fire, which could melt everything. Even the spiritual spring could not extinguish the fire, and there was also a faint shadow of a phoenix, so it should be phoenix blood,¡± The masked man nodded with confidence. After hearing the masked man¡¯s description, Qin Chen was certain that it was indeed the phoenix blood. Furthermore, it was a phoenix whose cultivation had far surpassed that of a god. But who could injure such a phoenix? Unable to think of an answer, Qin Chen let out a long breath of hot air. He decided to go to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest to take a look after he returned from the demon god race. Then, he took out another Sage herb and gave it to the masked man. He smiled and said, ¡°Thank you for telling me so much important information. I hope we can meet again in the future.¡± ¡°Many thanks, senior!¡± The masked man bowed to Qin Chen, who then left the secret room. The next day, Qin Chen brought the big scorpion to Patriarch Wandu¡¯s residence early in the morning. The Big scorpion snickered, ¡°Elder King, Patriarch Wandu offended an expert last night and was almost killed. He might still be recuperating now! Since he was so against you yesterday, just watch how I deal with him.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the big scorpion suddenly unleashed Supreme Sagely might as he bellowed, ¡°Patriarch Wandu!¡± Inside the house, Patriarch Wandu¡¯s expression changed drastically. He thought that the expert from last night had come again. With a trace of fear in his eyes, he picked up his walking stick and jumped out of the back window, running away without looking back. ¡°Hahaha, this old turtle is too cowardly!¡± The big scorpion laughed while holding his stomach. Hearing the commotion, Patriarch Wandu stopped as well. His face was livid as he coldly shouted, ¡°Elder King, what is the meaning of this? Why did you bring a demon to my residence?¡± ¡°Patriarch Wandu, it¡¯s time to head to the demon god race. This demon Supreme Sage is my friend. He is worried about my safety, so he is coming with us,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. Patriarch Wandu had seen the big scorpion before, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be so strong. To think the latter¡¯s cultivation was a small realm higher than his. Seeing that Qin Chen had such a powerful helper, Patriarch Wandu¡¯s face turned ugly. He was filled with resentment, but he did not act up. Instead, he stood behind Qin Chen without saying a word. Qin Chen found his reaction quite strange. Last night, the other party did not even respect Supreme Sage Qin Tian, so why was he afraid of the big scorpion today? Qin Tian couldn¡¯t help but be on guard. After finding Ice Mother, the three humans and one demon rushed to the demon god race. The demon god race was the second strongest race among the ten thousand ancient races. They dared to challenge the primordial sage race and were even stronger than the battle sage ape race and the divine silkworm race. However, due to their feud with the primordial sage race, their territory was very secretive, and almost no one knew about it. Previously, the demon god race had made an appearance and a declaration in the Central Province. Thus, after asking around, Qin Chen¡¯s group of four came to Yinyue City, where the demon god race had once appeared. Yinyue City was a small city in the central region of the Central Province. Because it was located in the center of the Canglan Continent, although it was small, it was very lively. Cultivators bustled in the city, and one could even see many from the ten thousand ancient races. To find the demon god race¡¯s territory as soon as possible, Qin Chen and the other three split into two groups to explore the city. ¡°Elder King, just leave the matter of finding the demon god race to the old poisonous man. I heard that Yinyue City is one of the few cities where humans and the ten thousand ancient races can co-exist. It¡¯s extremely prosperous. Why don¡¯t we take a look around first?¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen with great interest. He had just come out of the Demon Emperor Tomb and was naturally excited to see such a lively city like Yinyue City. Qin Chen did not dampen the big scorpion¡¯s enthusiasm. He immediately nodded in agreement, and the two of them began to stroll around Yinyue City. At this moment, the news that the human Elder King had come to Yinyue City to rope in the demon god race suddenly spread. When the ten thousand ancient races in Yinyue City learned of this, they all gathered in a tavern. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly when he learned of this. Under the big scorpion¡¯s suggestion, the two went to the tavern where the ten thousand ancient races were gathered. Chapter 192 - The Dragon Races Participation Chapter 192: The Dragon Race¡¯s Participation Outside the tavern, a Venerable of the ten thousand ancient races was standing guard. Anyone who wanted to enter had to go through his inspection. The Venerable had a Sage King weapon in his hands that allowed him to see through all disguising techniques. Not long ago, a human Venerable had tried to use his disguising supernormal knowledge to sneak in, but he was seen through by the Sage King weapon in the end, which led to a huge battle. The human Venerable was defeated and escaped. At this moment, Qin Chen and the big scorpion used the power of the great path to cover up their auras. They also used a fake emperor-grade disguise technique, turning into a pair of centaur brothers from the pegasus race. Then, they walked towards the tavern. ¡°Wait! You are from the pegasus race?¡± The Venerable on guard suddenly called out to the two and walked over with his Sage King weapon. Qin Chen nodded and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m Ma Yunfei, and this is my younger brother, Ma Tian. How may I help you, fellow Daoist?¡± The guarding Venerable did not say much and directly used the Sage King weapon to check on the two. The Sage King weapon was activated and emitted two golden lights, which landed on Qin Chen and the big scorpion at the same time. Qin Chen muffled a groan and secretly activated the power of the great path to protect his body. Only then did he manage to block the power of the Sage Royal weapon. Under the golden light, Qin Chen and the big scorpion still maintained their centaur appearance. Seeing this, the guard felt relieved and said with a smile, ¡°Why did the pegasus race appear so late? You¡¯re the first pegasus I¡¯ve seen since I was revived.¡± ¡°There was a problem that caused us to be born a little later. however, as soon as I was born, I heard that the human race¡¯s Elder King had exterminated the whale race and netherworld race and that the human race was going to war with our ten thousand ancient races! It really made me angry. To think a mere human weakling dares to provoke the ten thousand ancient races like this? When we found out that the other ten thousand ancient races had gathered here to deal with the human Elder King, we immediately rushed over,¡± Qin Chen spoke eloquently as if he was really from the ten thousand ancient races. The big scorpion, who was watching from the side, was speechless. This guy was too good at acting! When the guarding Venerable saw how Qin Chen was acting, he no longer had any doubts. He made way for Qin Chen and the big scorpion and even personally led them in. ¡°To think the human race¡¯s Elder King wants to convince the demon god race to deal with the ten thousand ancient races together with them. What a joke. The demon god race is one of the top five strongest races among the ten thousand ancient races. Why would they help a human weakling?¡± ¡°Not necessarily! The demon god race and the primordial sage race are mortal enemies. If the human race¡¯s Elder King were to go to them, they might agree.¡± ¡°Hmph, then let¡¯s not allow the human Elder King to find the demon god race. It¡¯s best if we can kill him.¡± ¡°What a joke. Even Supreme Sage Peng Kong died at the hands of the human Elder King. How can we, a motley crew, be a match for the human Elder King?¡± ¡°There are so many of us. if we work together, do you think we can¡¯t kill him? I¡¯ve already informed the Sage Kings of my race, and they¡¯ll be here with their Supreme Sage weapons soon.¡± ¡°The Sage King of my race is already on his way. As long as we work together, the human Elder King will not be able to leave Yinyue City.¡± The minute Qin Chen entered the tavern, he heard many vowing to kill him. Some even suggested sending out Sage Kings from various races to kill him with Supreme Sage weapons. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than twenty of the ten thousand ancient races expressed their support. ¡°Pfft, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d be so popular among the ten thousand ancient races. If they knew you were here, would they join forces to kill you?¡± The big scorpion covered his mouth and snickered. He was not worried at all that the ten thousand ancient races could kill Qin Chen even by joining forces. After all, he knew Qin Chen¡¯s strength. Even if there were twenty more Sage Kings, they might not be his match. Qin Chen¡¯s face darkened. At this moment, a young Sage who was hiding his identity suddenly said, ¡°Everyone, although the Elder King of the human race has not reached the Supreme Sage realm, he is extremely powerful and has endless trump cards. Even Supreme Sage Peng Kong, who is a level 5 Supreme Sage, was not his opponent. With just over 20 Sage Kings, even with the support of Supreme Sage weapons, we will only be humiliating ourselves in the end.¡± When the group heard this, they fell into silence. After all, the human Elder King was too powerful. All of them felt that the young Sage was right. Sage Longxuan looked at the crowd and smiled. He said again, ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. I¡¯m Long Xuan of the primordial dragon race. I¡¯ve already sent the news back to my race and convinced the Supreme Sage. I believe the Supreme Sage should be on his way by now. if the Sage Kings of your races work together with the Supreme Sage of my race, we¡¯ll definitely be able to kill the human Elder King.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over in shock. Only then did they learn that this young Sage was a member of the primordial dragon race. Following this, all of them tried to curry favor with him. ¡°How blind of us! We didn¡¯t expect fellow Daoist to be a member of the primordial dragon race. With the help of your race¡¯s Supreme Sage, the human Elder King will definitely die.¡± ¡°Sage Longxuan has great foresight. To think you managed to convince the dragon races¡¯ Supreme Sage. You will be the main contributor to the killing of the human Elder King.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Sage Longxuan should take credit for this! After we kill the human Elder King, we should hold a celebration party for Sage Longxuan!¡± ¡°A celebration must be held. With the death of the human Elder King, the human race will not be able to do much. In half a month, our race will definitely win.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s words, Sage Longxuan smiled smugly and said, ¡°Thank you for your appreciation. I only did what I had to do. I dare not claim any credit.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so humble, Sage Longxuan. If you hadn¡¯t convinced the dragon race¡¯s Supreme Sage to come, we would have been sending our Sage Kings to their deaths. You¡¯ve saved the Sage Kings of all the races here, and have thus made a great contribution!¡± A Venerable from the black fox race praised was Sage Longxuan endlessly. Hearing this, the Sage Longxuan looked even more proud. He smiled and replied, ¡°Many thanks for everyone¡¯s appreciation, but this is a very important matter. I suggest that before the experts of the various races arrive, we should not leave this place. This is to prevent the news from being leaked and the human race¡¯s Elder King from being on guard.¡± ¡°Sage Longxuan, you¡¯re so thoughtful. You¡¯re right.¡± ¡°As expected of Sage Longxuan. You¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± ¡°Sage Longxuan has said that no one can leave before the Sage Kings and the Supreme Sages of the dragon race arrive.¡± Qin Chen shook his head when he learned what the ten thousand ancient races were planning on doing. What made him frown was that the primordial dragon race wanted to interfere as well. Lord Dragon had a pretty good relationship with him, but did the primordial dragon race have to be his enemy in the end? The big scorpion covered his mouth and tried to hold back his laughter. His expression was clownish. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and asked softly, ¡°Elder King, if a Supreme Sage comes, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to hide. Why don¡¯t we just kill them all now?¡± ¡°No need, I have my ways,¡± Qin Chen shook his head and revealed a smile. He had other plans in mind. Chapter 193 - Grandpa Is Here Chapter 193: Grandpa Is Here ¡°Sage Long Xuan, why don¡¯t you come to my race after killing the human Elder King? you can show the younger generation of my race what an established youth is.¡± ¡°Hmph, your race is ranked below the 80th. Do you think you¡¯re worthy of Sage Long Xuan¡¯s visit? Sage Long Xuan, my race has prepared a feast. After we kill the human Elder King, we¡¯ll celebrate your victory.¡± ¡°Nope, nope, nope. For a victory celebration, it¡¯s only a given that it¡¯ll be more lively when everyone celebrates together. How can I let you invite Sage Long Xuan away?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I suggest that we hold the celebratory feast here in Yinyue City. All the ten thousand ancient races can attend. Only then will it be worthy of Sage Long Xuan.¡± After everyone in the tavern knew that Sage Long Xuan was a primordial dragon, all of them tried to please him. After all, the primordial dragon race had been the most powerful in the primordial age for a long time. If one could get the favor of the primordial dragon race, not only would one have a bright future, but the status of one¡¯s race would also rise. But at that moment, a centaur squeezed through the crowd and shouted, ¡°Sage Long Xuan, I have a safer way to kill the human Elder King which can guarantee that he won¡¯t have any chance of escaping.¡± ¡°Oh? What¡¯s your idea?¡± Sage Long Xuan asked. Qin Chen¡¯s lips curved into a smile and he said, ¡°Sage Long Xuan, the Patriarch of my race left a killing array. If we set it up, even Supreme Sages can¡¯t escape. As long as you help me set it up and lure the human Elder King here, he¡¯ll die for sure.¡± ¡°The pegasus race has such a great killing array?¡± Sage Long Xuan was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the declining pegasus race to have such hidden reserves. Qin Chen patted his chest and promised, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sage Long Xuan. The power of this killing array will not disappoint you. Once the human Elder King is trapped, he will die.¡± ¡°Very well! If that¡¯s the case, the pegasus race would have made a great contribution! We¡¯ll help you set up the killing array immediately!¡± Long Xuan cheered. With the support of such a killing array, their plan would be like a tiger that had grown wings. His confidence in killing the human Elder King increased by a few more degrees. Without any hesitation, he agreed to Qin Chen¡¯s request. Seeing this, Qin Chen took out an extremely complicated array diagram. Everyone looked at it for a long time, but none could understand it. They could only listen to Qin Chen¡¯s instructions and help silently. The big scorpion was confused. He did not understand what Qin Chen was doing. To think the latter was setting up a killing array for himself. He secretly pulled Qin Chen to the side and asked softly, ¡°Elder King, what are you trying to do? To think you¡¯re setting up such a terrifying killing array.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when the time comes,¡± Qin Chen simply replied. He then directed everyone to continue releasing their spiritual energy and setting up the killing array. Over a hundred experts worked together and spent a few hours before they finally finished setting up the great killing array. Looking at the array patterns that filled the sky, the group was extremely shocked. It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying great array since their revival. With a wave of Qin Chen¡¯s hand, the array patterns disappeared into the void as if they had never been there. This move shocked everyone again. ¡°This array is indeed extraordinary. I wonder what array it is? And who created it?¡± Sage Long Xuan was curious. He was surprised to see the killing array. This great killing array was an incomplete Emperor array, created by an ancient Emperor with power enough to kill any expert below level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm. However, Qin Chen naturally would not tell Long Xuan the true name of the array. His eyes rolled as his thoughts flashed and he instantly thought of a name. He immediately replied, ¡°This array is called the Pegasus Meteor Array. It was created by my race¡¯s patriarch.¡± ¡°Pegasus Meteor Array, what a good name! Its power is shocking! The pegasus race has done a great service for the ten thousand ancient races,¡± Sage Long Xuan did not suspect anything. He even praised the array. Seeing this, the ten thousand ancient races also echoed, ¡°Fellow Daoist of the pegasus race, you¡¯ve made a great contribution by setting up the Pegasus Meteor Array. You must have a few drinks with us at the celebration party.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, the black fox race has been friends with the pegasus race for a long time. If you have the time, you must come to my race for a visit.¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races are really lucky to have such young talents like you and Sage Long Xuan. The earth bear race sincerely invites Sage Long Xuan and you to be our guests.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist of the pegasus race, my race has studied arrays for generations. The Pegasus Meteor Array that you have set up today is the most profound array I have ever seen in my life. I hope that you can find time to come to my race and give us some pointers.¡± Qin Chen was surrounded by a group of ten thousand ancient races. Countless people wanted to invite him and Long Xuan to be guests. Facing such a warm crowd, Qin Chen naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. He agreed immediately to all the invites, causing everyone to reveal a satisfied smile. At this moment, Sage Kings entered Yinyue City one after another. They did not linger in the city at all, heading straight for the tavern. These Sage Kings were the strongest in their respective races. They were either race leaders or Patriarchs, and almost every one of them had brought a Supreme Sage weapon with them, making them extremely powerful. An old level 7 Sage King looked at the group before asking, ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to join forces to kill the human race¡¯s Elder King? Where is he?¡± ¡°Senior, the human race¡¯s Elder King is in Yinyue City. As long as the experts of the various races are here, we can just suppress the entire city. Then, we won¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find the human race¡¯s Elder King,¡± Sage Long Xuan cupped his hands and responded in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He did not seem to respect the Sage King too much. The elder seemed quite displeased, but he could tell that Sage Long Xuan¡¯s true form was that of the primordial dragon race, so he didn¡¯t say anything more. He just stood aside and waited for the other powerful figures to arrive. A quarter of an hour passed, and twenty-two Sage Kings had already arrived. At this moment, a dragon¡¯s roar could be heard as a huge dragon flew over from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the dragon had turned into a middle-aged man, appearing in the sky above the tavern. ¡°Long Xuan, where¡¯s the human Elder King?¡± The middle-aged man asked. Long Xuan bowed to the middle-aged man and replied, ¡°Patriarch, the human race¡¯s Elder King is in Yinyue City. We just need to suppress the entire city.¡± The middle-aged man frowned. He didn¡¯t expect that Long Xuan and the others didn¡¯t have any trace of the human Elder King. However, since he was already here, he couldn¡¯t just leave empty-handed. Thus, he burst out with the terrifying Supreme Sage¡¯s might that shrouded the entire Yinyue City, ¡°Where is the human Elder King?¡± Qin Chen stood in the tavern and watched this scene. A faint smile appeared on his face, and the disguise on his face slowly disappeared. He bellowed, ¡°Grandpa is here!¡± Chapter 194 - Youre Targets of My Scam! Chapter 194: You¡¯re Targets of My Scam! Everyone looked over and looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. Their eyes were full of surprise. ¡°Why is the human race¡¯s Elder King here? Isn¡¯t he fellow Daoist Ma Yunfei of the pegasus race?¡± Someone exclaimed, still unable to accept the reality. Sage Long Xuan¡¯s face turned unsightly. He roared at Qin Chen, ¡°How dare you, human Elder King! You had an easy way out, but you refuse to take it, and now you¡¯ve sent yourself to hell¡¯s door! Today, you won¡¯t be able to escape even if you have wings!¡± Qin Chen rolled his eyes at him and looked at him as if he was an idiot. Then, he sneered, ¡°The ones who can¡¯t escape today are you!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen raised his palm, and a terrifying Sagely might burst forth. Runes appeared in the air, enveloping everyone from the ten thousand ancient races! ¡°There¡¯s a killing array lying in ambush here!¡± A Sage King was shocked as he looked at the recovering great killing array with fear. The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch scolded Sage Long Xuan, ¡°Long Xuan, what are you doing? How could you let the human Elder King set up such a huge killing array here? ¡± The big scorpion had also returned to its true form. It held its stomach and laughed, ¡°Hahaha, they were the ones who set up the array. How does it feel to be scammed by your own clansmen?¡± ¡°What? A bunch of b*stards, how dare you help the Elder King of the human race to trap your own people!¡± ¡°Bastard! How dare you do such a preposterous thing! I¡¯ll kill you all with a slap!¡± ¡°Who let the human race¡¯s Elder King in and even helped him set up such an array? He really deserves ten thousand deaths.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. Who is it? I¡¯m going to kill him now.¡± The group of Sage Kings was furious. They roared at the sky, and some of them even unleashed their Sagely might, wanting to kill the bastards who had set them up. Suddenly, one of the Venerables looked at the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch fearfully and whispered, ¡°Sage Long Xuan asked us to help the human Elder King set up a killing array.¡± All the Sage kings looked at Sage Long Xuan awkwardly. They didn¡¯t expect that the one who had set them up would be Sage Long Xuan of the primordial dragon race. The primordial dragon race was one of the most powerful races. they couldn¡¯t afford to offend them. Therefore, no one dared to curse anymore even though they were still furious. The eyes of the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch darkened, and he looked displeased. Others didn¡¯t dare to scold Sage Long Xuan, but that didn¡¯t mean that he didn¡¯t dare to. He barked at Sage Long Xuan, ¡°Long Xuan, you¡¯ve really embarrassed the primordial dragon race. When you return, go to the Tribunal Elder and get your punishment!¡± ¡°Yes, Patriarch! This disciple knows his mistake,¡± Sage Long Xuan nodded and gritted his teeth, ¡°Patriarch, the human race¡¯s Elder King is full of tricks. Why don¡¯t we take him down first to prevent any more trouble?¡± ¡°Hmph, you still want to capture me at a time like this? You should think about whether you can leave this place alive,¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly and unleashed his Sagely might. The aura of the great killing array also became increasingly terrifying. The Primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked at the killing array that was growing more and more terrifying. His face turned serious as he snorted, ¡°Although the array is great, it¡¯s not something anyone can just activate. While the array is not fully restored, everyone should join forces and attack together.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll do as you say, Supreme sage!¡± Everyone nodded and took out their Supreme Sage weapons. They exploded with a monstrous aura, wanting to break Qin Chen¡¯s great killing array. ¡°Attack!¡± The Patriarch of the primordial dragon race bellowed as his Supreme Sagely might burst forth. The terrifying aura made Qin Chen frown. To think this Patriarch of the primordial dragon race was at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. No wonder he was still so confident even after being trapped by his killing array. More than 20 Sage Kings and a level 7 Supreme Sage worked together to exude a monstrous power. Even with the killing array, it still caused a great disturbance. The entire Yinyue City was shaking. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Could it be that the ten thousand ancient races have already captured the Elder King?¡± ¡°How detestable. Who was it that leaked the news of the Elder King¡¯s whereabouts? Where¡¯s the Supreme Sage of the human race? Why haven¡¯t they come to rescue the Elder King yet?¡± ¡°That killing array feels too terrifying. I¡¯m afraid it can even kill a Supreme Sage. Even if the Elder King has invincible combat power, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll be in trouble.¡± ¡°Those ten thousand ancient races are truly sinister. To think they set up such a killing array. Can the Elder King leave?¡± ¡°This can¡¯t do, we can¡¯t let anything happen to the Elder King. Why don¡¯t we work together and save him?¡± A human Venerable shouted. He wanted to join forces with the others to save the Elder King. However, at this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the tavern. The power of the great path surrounded him, and he unleashed extreme Sagely might, triggering the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy to fully awaken the great killing array. At the same time, the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ Sage Kings and the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch also started to show their might. They worked together and unleashed their strongest attacks toward the killing array in the sky. ¡°It won¡¯t be that easy to break my killing array,¡± The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled up as he snorted coldly. Over ten thousand array patterns flickered on his palm. As his finger streaked across the air, over ten thousand streaks of sword energy condensed in the air and charged toward the ten thousand ancient races in the tavern. The power of the sword energy was not to be underestimated. Even Sages might not be able to escape unscathed. Seeing this, the ten thousand ancient races all revealed terrified expressions and cried for help at the Patriarchs in the sky. The Sage Kings all raised their eyebrows when they saw this. Although these people weren¡¯t very strong, they were all young talents from their respective races. If they died here, it would be a great blow to the entire clan. Therefore, everyone retracted their attacks and turned around to save their respective clansmen, causing the efforts of the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch in trying to stop the oncoming attack to fall short. ¡°What are you guys doing? If we don¡¯t break the killing array, we¡¯ll all die here!¡± The Patriarch of the primordial dragon race bellowed, thoroughly infuriated by these people. ¡°You¡¯d better take care of yourself first!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he activated the killing array with all his might. Thousands of streaks of sword energy gathered into a blade of golden sword energy. The golden sword energy had emperor runes flashing on it, and its aura was extremely terrifying. The surrounding Sage Kings of the ten thousand ancient races all paled at the sight of it. The Patriarch of the primordial dragon race furrowed his brows as well. He turned to the Sage Kings behind him and hollered, ¡°Let¡¯s attack together! Otherwise, we really won¡¯t be able to make it out alive!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty Supreme Sage weapons were activated together. A terrifying aura shrouded Yinyue City. Cultivators below the Sage realm didn¡¯t dare to stay in the city for long. They immediately ran away, retreating to a place ten thousand miles away. Seeing that the ten thousand ancient races had joined forces, the big scorpion also unleashed its Supreme Sage might. It took out a huge blade and stepped forward, appearing beside Qin Chen, ¡°Can your killing array stop them?¡± Chapter 195 - Turning Defeat into Victory Chapter 195: Turning Defeat into Victory ¡°This killing array is incomplete. If it can be fully restored, we can kill them all. However, that requires a terrifying amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy to activate, and even I can¡¯t fully restore it in a short time.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the big scorpion¡¯s expression changed. He shrunk his neck and shouted, ¡°No way, aren¡¯t you making it hard for me then?¡± At the same time, the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch and over twenty Sage Kings had already charged over. Each of them had a Supreme Sage weapon in their hands, and they all radiated with terrifying might. ¡°Kill!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s old Patriarch let out a roar. His terrifying aura scared the big scorpion so much that the latter shrunk its head back, revealing a face green with fright. Qin Chen, however, was filled with battle intent. He waved his hand and golden sword energy shot out, clashing with the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch and creating circles of terrifying Sage patterns. ¡°Break!¡± The Dragon Patriarch roared and used an ancient emperor¡¯s secret technique that emanated a shocking aura emanated as it tried to obliterate the golden sword energy. Seeing this, the surrounding Sage Kings all used their strongest killing moves. Murderous supernormal knowledge of all colors struck, clashing with the golden sword energy in the air. ¡°Bang!¡± A loud sound was heard and a ripple spread in the air, hitting Qin Chen¡¯s killing array. Tens of thousands of array patterns flickered and gave off a dazzling light. With a crack, one of the array patterns cracked and the killing array began to collapse. In just a moment, half of the tens of thousands of array patterns were destroyed and the entire Yinyue City was shaking. ¡°Hmph, to think the human race¡¯s Elder King tried to use a killing array to kill the experts of our ten thousand ancient races. He¡¯s simply courting death. Now that the killing array has been destroyed, it¡¯s impossible for him to escape.¡± ¡°As expected of the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. Even such a terrifying killing array can¡¯t stop him. The human race¡¯s Elder King has reaped the consequences of his own actions. There¡¯s no way out now.¡± ¡°With the death of the human race¡¯s Elder King, the human race will no longer be a threat. We will definitely win the war in half a month.¡± Ten thousand miles away, the ten thousand ancient races who were watching all let out a sigh of relief and began to clamor when they saw that the killing array had been destroyed. In contrast, the human cultivators¡¯ expressions were not too good. Many of them had already secretly sent a message to the Great Qin Dynasty, hoping that the Supreme Sages of the human race would help them. In Yinyue City, half of Qin Chen¡¯s incomplete emperor array had been destroyed. Terrifying Sagely might spread out from the array, and half of Yinyue City was destroyed in an instant, turning into a pile of ruins. ¡°Human Elder King, now that the killing array has been broken, your defeat is certain. Surrender!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch let out a roar and unleashed his Sagely might again. He activated his Supreme Sage weapon with all his might and struck out with the most powerful attack, trying to destroy the entire killing array. ¡°Elder King, if you don¡¯t have any other backup plans, we¡¯d better run quick!¡± The big scorpion gulped with a hint of fear in its eyes. ¡°Hmph, so what if you broke my killing array? We don¡¯t even know who will win this battle. Let¡¯s fight!¡± Qin Chen shouted and revealed a face full of battle intent. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and unleashed his Sagely might. Casting an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, he charged at the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. ¡°You¡¯re seeking death!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s old Patriarch revealed a look of disdain as he revived his Supreme Sage weapon. He also activated his ancient emperor¡¯s technique and charged toward Qin Chen with an unstoppable force. ¡°The rule of force! Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist!¡± Qin Chen grunted and wrapped the rule of force around his arm. He clenched his fist and punched out, unleashing a monstrous Sagely might at the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. In just a moment, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves. Sometimes, dragon roars filled the sky, and sometimes, the void shattered. The aftermath of their battle destroyed the entire Yinyue City. Everyone who was watching the battle was shocked and could not help but retreat tens of thousands of miles. ¡°Human Elder King, you¡¯re indeed very strong, but unfortunately, you¡¯re only a Sage King. How do you plan on defeating me?¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch roared and transformed back into his true form. A primordial giant dragon appeared in the clouds. A dragon¡¯s roar sounded, shaking the Central Province. ¡°Now that the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch has shown his might, the human race¡¯s Elder King won¡¯t have much time left.¡± ¡°Hmph, to think a mere human weakling dares to compete with the expert of the ten thousand ancient races? He¡¯s just asking for death.¡± ¡°The primordial dragon race¡¯s grand Patriarch is invincible. Without an extreme emperor weapon, who in the human race can defeat him?¡± The ten thousand ancient races¡¯ members only had cold words to say, smugness on their faces. On the other hand, the humans were like ants on a hot pan, extremely anxious. Someone shouted, ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the human Supreme Sage come yet? Why hasn¡¯t the extreme emperor weapon been revived? Are we just going to watch the Elder King die?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, an extreme emperor¡¯s might was awakened. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword hung above the Great Qin Dynasty and released a terrifying aura, trying to kill the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. At the same time, a golden dragon pearl appeared in the sky above the East Sea. it released a towering ancient imperial aura, confronting the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword of the Great Qin Dynasty across space. A voice came from the East Sea, ¡°This battle was started by the human race¡¯s elder, King. You are not allowed to interfere.¡± A muffled groan came from the Great Qin Dynasty. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was still recovering, but it did not continue to suppress the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. It only emitted the power of the extreme path, confronting the golden dragon pearl in the East Sea. At this moment, the battle between the Dragon Patriarch and Qin Chen was about to end. Under the difference in cultivation realms, Qin Chen was at a disadvantage and almost fell into danger several times. ¡°Human Elder King, you have no chance of winning. You¡¯d better accept your death!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch shouted coldly as he activated his Supreme Sage weapon and the ancient emperor supernormal knowledge with all his might. Boundless power erupted from them as he tried to kill Qin Chen. Not far away, the big scorpion saw this and gritted his teeth. Then, he charged out with his Supreme Sage weapon, wanting to help Qin Chen. However, as soon as he flew into the air, he was stopped by the group of Sage Kings from the ten thousand ancient races. Twenty-some Supreme Sage weapons unleashed their might, causing the big scorpion¡¯s expression to become extremely ugly. ¡°Human Elder King, no one should be able to save you now,¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch shouted coldly. ¡°Oh, really? However, the one who needs to be rescued is you!¡± The corners of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose, revealing a smile as if his scheme had succeeded. Then, countless array patterns lit up on his palm, and four great killing arrays were activated at the same time, emitting a boundless and terrifying aura. ¡°Shit!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch cried out. Without any hesitation, he turned around and tried to escape. However, his massive body had only flown out for 10000 meters before he was bound by the chains of the great path formed by the array patterns. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted. The four great killing arrays unleashed their power. Countless sword energy shot toward the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. The sword energy cut through his dragon scales, causing him to let out a miserable cry. ¡°Human Elder King, you dare!¡± A roar sounded from the East Sea let out a roar. The Golden Dragon Lord unleashed his primordial imperial might, shooting out a beam of primordial dragon qi from thousands of miles away, trying to kill the human Elder King. However, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword recovered even faster. In the blink of an eye, it appeared above Yinyue City and suppressed heaven and earth, easily blocking the stream of primordial dragon qi. Chapter 196 - : Negotiations Chapter 196: Negotiations ¡°Elder King of the human race, let the Supreme Sage of our race go. Our race can withdraw from the war in half a month!¡± After the first attack failed, the dragon in the East Sea spoke again only to beg for mercy. He wanted the human Elder King to let the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch go. All of the ten thousand ancient races spectators were shocked by this. Everything had happened too quickly. To think the human Elder King had managed to activate four killing arrays at the same time and instantly turned defeat into victory. Now, the primordial dragon race had even given in and was begging for mercy. The humans, on the other hand, were overjoyed. Many of them sneered, ¡°Hahahaha, I knew that the Elder King wouldn¡¯t be defeated so easily. So what if it¡¯s the primordial dragon race? So what if he¡¯s the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch? Doesn¡¯t he have to beg for mercy in the end?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Elder King is the hope of the human race. He has unrivaled combat power. How can a mere primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch be a match for him?¡± ¡°If the ancient primordial dragon race retreats from the war in half a month, the human race¡¯s chances of winning will increase. How long can the ten thousand ancient races remain arrogant?¡± ¡°The defeat of the ten thousand ancient races is a foregone conclusion. Our human race is destined to rise, and the Elder King is destined to prove his path in this era.¡± In the four great killing arrays, the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch was dragged back to Yinyue City by force. Countless sword energies were still ravaging his dragon body, and his dragon scales were sent flying as blood splattered in the air. ¡°Elder King of the human race, we have admitted our defeat. Are you still going to kill all of us?¡± The primordial dragon race Patriarch bellowed and spat out waves of Dragon Breath, burning the void. Qin Chen snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, ¡°No one will be able to save you today!¡± As soon as he said that, the four killing arrays were activated again. The twenty-odd Sage Kings of the ten thousand ancient races were instantly bound and couldn¡¯t move at all. They could only watch as countless rays of sword energy gathered around them. Sage Long Xuan looked panicked and shouted, ¡°Human Elder King, please don¡¯t kill me. I¡¯m willing to submit! Please don¡¯t kill me.¡± ¡°Bastard, go to hell!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch roared and used all his strength to break free from the chains. Then, he slapped Sage Long Xuan, turning the latter into mincemeat. ¡°Bind!¡± Qin Chen growled. Array patterns flickered and turned into golden chains that bound the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch once again. He could not move at all and could only wait for his death in the air. ¡°Human Elder King, let my race¡¯s Patriarch go. My race can give you more compensation,¡± The dragon in the East Sea said again, making another concession. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re quite valuable!¡± The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose and revealed a smile. Then, he shouted at the East Sea, ¡°As long as your race is willing to submit to me, I can let your Patriarch go.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible! If you let my Patriarch go, my race can give you a Supreme Sage weapon and promise to never be your enemy. Otherwise, we¡¯ll fight to the death!¡± The response from the dragon in the East Sea was decisive. Qin Chen was a little disappointed. If the primordial dragon race could submit to him, even if he did not manage to convince the demon god race, the human race would not lose the war in half a month. However, it was already a pleasant surprise that the primordial dragon race would not participate in the battle. Qin Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed, ¡°Hand over your Supreme Sage weapon then!¡± ¡°Here you go!¡± With that, a Supreme Sage weapon flew out from the primordial dragon race¡¯s territory in the East Sea and appeared in the sky above Yinyue City in the blink of an eye. Then, another roar was heard, ¡°Release my race¡¯s Patriarch at once!¡± Qin Chen held the Supreme Sage weapon. It was a golden long spear with a lifelike dragon pattern engraved on it. The tip of the spear was blood-red, emitting a terrifying dragon¡¯s might. The primordial dragon race was quite generous. The dragon-patterned spear they took out wasn¡¯t a low-grade weapon. It was a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon. Among the many ten thousand ancient races, there weren¡¯t many that could be so generous. Even so, Qin Chen did not plan to release the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch just yet. Instead, he smiled at the East Sea and said, ¡°Everyone from the primordial dragon race, I feel like old friends with the Patriarch at first sight. I¡¯ve decided to invite him to the Taiyi Holy Land. I¡¯ll personally send him back to your race in half a month.¡± ¡°Human Elder King, don¡¯t you go too far. Do you really think that the primordial dragon race is a pushover?¡± An angry roar came from the primordial dragon race of the East Sea. The golden dragon pearl burst out with primordial imperial might and appeared in the Central Province in the blink of an eye. The terrifying aura made all the living beings in the Central Province tremble. ¡°Everyone from the primordial dragon race, if you don¡¯t want to see anything happen to your Patriarch, it¡¯s best not to be so impulsive,¡± Qin Chen snorted. The array in his hand glowed, and countless sword energy gathered, turning into four golden swords of energy. They hung above the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch¡¯s head. If the golden swords of energy fell, the Patriarch would die without a doubt. ¡°Ignorant child, how dare you?!¡± The East Sea¡¯s dragon roared. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly as the array patterns in his palm unleashed their power. The golden swords of energy pierced into the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch¡¯s flesh, and he let out a blood-curdling screech, causing the entire world to tremble. ¡°Stop!¡± The East Sea dragon shouted, then said, ¡°We¡¯ll do as you say. However, if anything happens to our Patriarch, the primordial dragon race swears that we¡¯ll exterminate the human race!¡± Seeing this, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He immediately withdrew the golden swords of energy and replied with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. I¡¯ll definitely take good care of the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch.¡± A muffled groan came from the dragon in the East Sea. The golden dragon pearl disappeared into thin air, and the boundless dragon might also receded. The living beings of the Central Province felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the golden dragon pearl had been retrieved, Qin Chen also dissipated the golden swords of energy around the primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch. He then took out a green pill and fed it to the Patriarch before releasing the latter from his restraints. ¡°What did you make me eat? To think you¡¯ve sealed my cultivation!¡± The Patriarch of the primordial dragon race was shocked as he looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. He did not expect the other party to have such a pill. Qin Chen smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Patriarch. This pill will only temporarily seal your cultivation and will lose its effects after a month. By then, your cultivation will be fully restored. ¡°Hmph! If my cultivation is damaged, I will not let you off!¡± The primordial dragon race¡¯s Patriarch snorted coldly as he stood by the side with a dark expression. At this moment, a Sage king who was bound in the killing array suddenly shouted, ¡°Human Elder King, as long as you let me go, my race is willing to withdraw from the battle in half a month. We can also give you a Supreme Sage weapon.¡± ¡°You can also take out a Supreme Sage weapon?¡± Qin Chen asked. Hearing this, the Sage King waved his hand and took out the Supreme Sage inferior-grade weapon that he had been carrying with him all this time. He said anxiously, ¡°Human Elder King, this is the Supreme Sage weapon left behind by my race¡¯s Patriarch. As long as you let me go, this weapon is yours.¡± The other Sage Kings also took out their Supreme Sage weapons and said to Qin Chen, ¡°Human Elder King, we also have Supreme Sage weapons. We are also willing to withdraw from the battle in half a month!¡± Chapter 197 - I am Arrogant Chapter 197: I am Arrogant ¡°Human Elder King, I beg you, please let me go. I will never dare to go against you again.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, We also have Supreme Sage weapons to offer, and we promise not to participate in the upcoming battle in half a month. I beg you to be magnanimous and let us go!¡± The group of Sage Kings begged for mercy as they took out their Supreme Sage weapons. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes brightened when he saw the twenty Supreme Sage weapons. The big scorpion, who was standing beside him, revealed a wretched smile and whispered into Qin Chen¡¯s ear, ¡°Elder King, I helped you, so it shouldn¡¯t be too much to take a Supreme Sage weapon from you, right?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the big scorpion began to make a move to take the Supreme Sage weapons. However, Qin Chen¡¯s movements were faster. With a wave of his hand, he put all twenty Supreme Sage weapons into his storage ring. ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re being too disloyal. I was prepared to die when I went to help you, yet you¡¯re so stingy that you won¡¯t even give me a Supreme Sage weapon,¡± The big scorpion said with some dissatisfaction. Qin Chen rolled his eyes. He was going to give these Supreme Sage weapons to the human experts. With the help of these weapons, the human race¡¯s strength would definitely increase greatly, and their chances of winning the war half a month later would also be higher. As for the big scorpion, he already had a Supreme Sage weapon. These Sage King inferior-grade weapons were of no use to him, so Qin Chen naturally would not waste resources on him. ¡°Elder King of the human race, we have already handed over our Supreme Sage weapons. Shouldn¡¯t you let us go?¡± A Sage King looked at Qin Chen with a smile, hoping that he would let them go. Qin Chen glanced at them, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose. He said in a deep voice, ¡°These Supreme Sage weapons are my spoils of war, to begin with. If you want me to let you go, then take out another Supreme Sage weapon.¡± ¡°what? You¡¯ve gone too far! Since you don¡¯t keep your word, do you really think we¡¯re pushovers?¡± A Sage King let out a furious roar as he looked at Qin Chen with a ferocious expression. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. The array patterns on his palm flickered, and the four great killing arrays showed their might once again. A golden sword energy pierced through the Sage King¡¯s body, not even letting go of his soul, and he died on the spot. When the other Sage Kings saw this, they were all shocked. They didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to be so decisive. ¡°I just think you guys are easy to bully. What can you do to me?¡± Qin Chen said coldly as he glared at the group of Sage Kings, sending a chill down their spines. They no longer dared to act presumptuously. A Sage king gulped and asked with an ugly expression, ¡°Human Elder King, what do you want for you to let us go?¡± ¡°Submit or die!¡± The three words that came out of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth made the group of Sage Kings¡¯ faces turn ashen. Despair appeared on their faces, and they were filled with regret. Why did they choose to provoke this god of death? ¡°Human Elder King, aren¡¯t you afraid of the ten thousand ancient races taking revenge for doing such a thing?¡± A Sage King threatened. Qin Chen glanced at him and with a wave of his hand, the array patterns flickered again. Golden sword energy burst out and took the life of another Sage King. He said in a deep voice, ¡°You only have two choices. Surrender or die! Choose! I still have things to do.¡± The Sage Kings all gasped, and their expressions turned ugly. They didn¡¯t know what to do. At this moment, a ripple came from the depths of the East Sea. The deep voice of the primordial sage race¡¯s elder came from the race¡¯s ancestral land, ¡°Elder King of the human race, let them go. Otherwise, the war will be brought forward!¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed and turned vicious. He did not like to be threatened. However, he had to carefully consider the words of the primordial sage race¡¯s elder as well. After all, if a war were to break out now, humans would suffer. ¡°Elder King, you¡¯ve already obtained so many Supreme Sage weapons. You should stop now. Otherwise, once the war starts, the human race will be in danger of being destroyed,¡± The big scorpion frowned and reminded him. Qin Chen naturally knew the stakes of this matter. After hesitating for a moment, he snorted at the group of Sage Kings, ¡°If you want to live, sure. If you each hand over a Sage King weapon and a Sage King pill, I¡¯ll let you go. ¡°Human Elder King, the senior of the primordial sage race has asked you to release us now, but he did not ask us to give you Sage King weapons or Sage King pills. I advise you to be more sensible and let us go quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Release us now. If the primordial sage race¡¯s senior gets angry, the entire human race will be in trouble because of you.¡± ¡°Hmph, Elder King of the human race, if you know what¡¯s good for you, let us go quickly. Otherwise, the senior of the primordial sage race will definitely teach you a lesson!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still asking for Sage King weapons and Sage King pills? You¡¯re simply delusional. Let us go now, or you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences.¡± With the Primordial sage race elder standing up for them, some of the Sage Kings were clearly more confident now. They were completely different from when they were begging for Qin Chen¡¯s mercy just a minute ago. They even threatened him again. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. Being full of resentment, to begin with, he exploded at this moment. He activated the killing array, and several golden swords of energy fell at the same time. The Sage Kings who had been talking big were instantly killed, which frightened the other Sage Kings. At this moment, the primordial sage race¡¯s elder appeared in the sky above the East Sea. He shouted at Qin Chen from thousands of miles away, ¡°Human Elder King, do you want to start the war now?¡± ¡°They¡¯re the ones who courted death, so you can¡¯t blame me. If the ten thousand ancient races want to start a war now, I don¡¯t mind letting the blood of all of those here be used as a sacrifice to the war banner of my human race,¡± Qin Chen was neither servile nor overbearing. Even when he was facing the elder of the primordial sage race, who was at the peak of the Supreme Sage realm, there was no fear in his eyes. If it were not for the safety of the human race, Qin Chen would not have just killed these few people. ¡°Human Elder King, I advise you not to be so arrogant,¡± The elder from the Primordial sage race said coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent. Everywhere he passed by, everything was frozen. Qin Chen was fearless. He activated his Chaotic Holy Body and the rule of force. The Desolate Divine Halberd was activated as well, and the terrifying aura covered a radius of a million miles. The ten thousand ancient races watching from afar could feel a terrifying pressure. ¡°I am arrogant, so what?¡± He replied coldly. ¡°Hmph!¡± The elder from the primordial sage race grunted as his body exuded a monstrous Sagely might. he wanted to suppress Qin Chen from a distance. However, before he could do anything, the six extreme emperor weapons were activated everywhere, and their terrifying emperor¡¯s might enveloped the Canglan Continent. Supreme Sage Qin Tian appeared in the sky above the Great Qin Dynasty and said in a deep voice, ¡°Fellow Daoist, the date of the battle was set only a few days ago. Aren¡¯t you breaking the rules by secretly attacking? If you wish to bring the battle forward, the human race will accompany you to the end.¡± Upon hearing Qin Tian¡¯s words, the primordial sage race elder¡¯s eyes darkened. However, he was somewhat apprehensive and did not really want to start the war with the human race right now, so he said, ¡°Let them go, and I¡¯ll let this matter rest.¡± ¡°I can do that, but I want a Sage King weapon and a Sage King pill from each of them in exchange. Otherwise, there¡¯s no way I¡¯ll let them go!¡± Qin Chen said. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd and confronted the elder from the primordial sage race from thousands of miles away. Chapter 198 - 198 Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan 198 Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the primordial sage race elder¡¯s eyes turned cold and he exploded with a monstrous Sagely might. The ocean below him started to surge violently. At the same time, the human race¡¯s seven extreme emperor weapons, including the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, unleashed their power at the same time. The terrifying power shook the entire Canglan Continent. Seeing this, the primordial sage race elder frowned slightly. His eyes darkened and he snorted, ¡°Human Elder King, I will remember this. Half a month later, I, Sheng Xuan, will take your life with my own hands.¡± As soon as he said this, the people of the ten thousand ancient races were all shocked. All of them had flashbacks of Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan¡¯s fame back in the primordial era. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan was definitely one of the top experts in the primordial era. In his era, the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races had been overshadowed by him. It was rumored that he had once killed a God-realm expert as a Supreme Sage. In the entire primordial era, not many could achieve such a heaven-defying feat. ¡°I thought that Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan had already broken through to the God realm and proven his path back in the primordial era. I didn¡¯t expect him to choose to seal himself while still in the Supreme Sage realm and only reappear in this era.¡± ¡°Supreme Sage had already killed a God back during the primordial era. Who in the entire human race can be his opponent? Even a human God-realm cultivator would be killed if he were to go against Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan.¡± ¡°Hmph, how can the human race compare to the power of Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan? In the war half a month later, the human race will lose without a doubt.¡± ¡°Now that Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan has reappeared. The rise of the ten thousand ancient races is a foregone conclusion. How can the human race stop him?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Quite a few spoke up within the ten thousand ancient races. The appearance of Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan was a large confidence boost. They were even more confident of winning the war between the two races in half a month. In contrast, the human race wasn¡¯t as happy. After hearing the words of the ten thousand ancient races, many of them started to flip through the ancient books to look up Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. After learning about the other party¡¯s past glory, their faces all turned ugly. Qin Chen also frowned slightly. After all, if Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan really had the power to kill a God, no one in the entire human race would be his match except for the old lunatic. Yet, the old lunatic had already disappeared without a trace. He might not appear during the war between the two races in half a month. At that time, who in the human race could stop Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan? Exhaling a breath of hot air, Qin Chen looked at the group of Sage Kings in the killing array and said coldly with a dark expression, ¡°If you want to live, hand over the Sage King pills and Sage King weapons. I don¡¯t have time to waste with you.¡± The Sage Kings all raised their eyebrows as their expressions became extremely unsightly. However, to save their own lives, many of them still chose to submit, ordering their clansmen to deliver the Sage King weapons and pills. Not long after, Qin Chen received over twenty Sage King weapons and Sage King pills. He did not make things difficult for these Sage Kings. After making them take the pills that could seal their cultivation, he removed the killing array in Yinyue City. The group of Sage Kings did not dare to stay for even a moment after regaining their freedom. They turned and ran with their clansmen, afraid that the human Elder King would suddenly go back on his word and detain them again. After putting away the Sage King weapons and pills, Qin Chen left as well. He brought the big scorpion to search for traces of the demon god race. Two days passed, but Qin Chen had no news of them. ¡°It seems like the demon god race doesn¡¯t want to help us. Otherwise, how could we not have found anything after searching for so long? In my opinion, we should just return home,¡± Patriarch Wandu snorted dejectedly. He and Ice Mother had returned to the team two days ago and had been following Qin Chen and the big scorpion for the past two days. However, they did not help to find out more about the demon god race. Instead, they kept saying rejecting words to persuade Qin Chen to give up on the search. At this moment, Ice Mother also spoke up and said in a deep voice, ¡°Elder King, since the demon god race is unwilling to help us, it¡¯s pointless for us to continue searching. Why don¡¯t we return? Perhaps we can think of another way.¡± ¡°Hmph, if you don¡¯t want to help, just go back. Why are you here chattering and disturbing my mood?¡± The big scorpion snorted coldly. He had been annoyed enough by the two for the past two days. If not for Qin Chen stopping him, he would have long chased them away. Qin Chen looked at the two of them, and his face turned gloomy. At this moment, a cloud of demonic fog came and surrounded the four of them. ¡°Who is it?¡± The big scorpion was shocked and looked at the depths of the demonic fog with fear. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes also narrowed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t you show yourself?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic fog was instantly withdrawn. A man with dark purple skin and demonic patterns all over his body appeared in front of the four. The man stared at Qin Chen from the beginning to the end as he said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m Mo Luowan of the demon god race. I¡¯m here to receive the human Elder King under the orders of the race leader. Elder King, please come with me.¡± Qin Chen nodded without any hesitation. He brought the big scorpion and the other two and followed. At this moment, Mo Luowan suddenly said, ¡°The race leader only invited the human Elder King.¡± Upon hearing this, the big scorpion leaned close to Qin Chen¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Elder King, the demon god race has always been ruthless. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate for you to go alone.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright! You can wait for me outside,¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. ¡°Please follow me,¡± Mo Luowan snorted and a demonic fog burst out from his body. the demonic fog enveloped Qin Chen and only completely dissipated after a long while. Qin Chen and Mo Luowan also disappeared along with the demonic fog. Qin Chen followed Mo Luowan in the demonic fog for an hour. The fog could interfere with spiritual perception, so even Qin Chen did not know where he was. ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± Mo Luowan suddenly stopped. With a wave of his hand, a seven-colored radiance burst forth, and a teleportation portal was formed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Mo Luowan took a step into the teleportation portal and disappeared before Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. Qin Chen¡¯s face revealed a trace of wariness, but he did not hesitate and carefully walked into the teleportation portal as well. After entering the teleportation portal, the world around him changed instantly, and a new world appeared before Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. This was a world of mist, with demonic energy everywhere. A blood moon hung in the sky, looking very eerie. ¡°Let¡¯s go! The race leader is already waiting for you,¡± Mo Luowan snorted and led Qin Chen to the center of the world. This small world was only the size of a city in the outside world. There were many buildings here, but they were all quite strange. They looked like skulls of different sizes, which was very eerie. Qin Chen followed Mo Luowan to a huge skeleton. A middle-aged man had been waiting there for a long time. Mo Luowan bowed to the middle-aged man and said respectfully, ¡°Greetings, race leader.¡± Chapter 199 - 199 Heaven Demon 199 Heaven Demon The middle-aged man was three meters tall, covered in demonic patterns, and looked very strong. He was the race leader of the demon god race, Heaven Demon. Heaven Demon glanced at Qin Chen. A ray of light flashed through his pitch-black eyes as he asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re the human Elder King whose name has been spreading like wildfire?¡± ¡°Indeed,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands in response. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so young. I see the human race has produced a monster,¡± Heaven Demon exclaimed. Qin Chen was shocked. He had not expected Heaven Demon to see through the power of his great path and see his true appearance! ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to be so surprised. Although you¡¯ve used the Chaotic Holy Body to activate the power of the great path to hide your face and even a God might not be able to see through it, this is a world created by the primordial emperor of my race. There is only the path of my race in this world. Even a God would find it difficult to hide here, lest you¡¯re only a Sage King,¡± Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s reaction, Heaven Demon explained patiently. Qin Chen used his Chaotic Holy Body to sense this world. Just as Heaven Demon had said, there was only one path in this world. It was almost impossible for him to deceive the demon god race here. ¡°Senior, please keep this a secret,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands and bowed to Heaven Demon. Heaven Demon smiled and replied with a laugh, ¡°It seems that you have a lot of secrets! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not that free to reveal your appearance to the world. However, with the primordial sage race¡¯s Sheng Xuan¡¯s eyes, your Chaotic Holy Body can¡¯t be hidden from him.¡± ¡°Many thanks, senior!¡± Qin Chen nodded in agreement. As for Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan of the Primordial sage race, since the other party didn¡¯t mention matters regarding this before, he believed that the latter wouldn¡¯t do so in the future either. There was no need to worry too much. Heaven Demon looked at Qin Chen and stopped smiling. He said with a serious expression, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the reason you came to the demon god race!¡± ¡°Senior, the human race would like to join forces with the demon god race to deal with the primordial sage race in half a month,¡± Qin Chen went straight to the point and stated his purpose for coming. Heaven Demon frowned and looked at Qin Chen deeply as he said, ¡°The human race isn¡¯t just dealing with the primordial sage race but the entire ten thousand ancient races. Although the demon god race has a feud with the primordial sage race, we still belong to the ten thousand ancient races.¡± Hearing Heaven Demon¡¯s words, Qin Chen could not quite grasp his intentions. His eyes became serious, and he only spoke after a long time, ¡°Senior, the human race has no intention of becoming enemies with the ten thousand ancient races. On the contrary, the ten thousand ancient races have always been unable to tolerate the human race. If senior is not willing to help, the human race will have no complaints. However, do you wish to see the primordial sage race rise to power just like that?¡± ¡°Hahahaha, kid, you might not understand the power of the primordial sage race. They are not being arrogant. Humans are simply no match for them,¡± Heaven Demon shook his head and smiled, his expression full of ridicule. Qin Chen frowned, not understanding what he meant, ¡°Senior, what do you mean?¡± ¡°It seems like you really don¡¯t know,¡± Heaven Demon snorted and then explained, ¡°Throughout the primordial era, the primordial sage race has always been known as the strongest race among the ten thousand ancient races. It¡¯s not just because they have two emperors. More importantly, experts emerge from their race every generation. Even if those experts don¡¯t end up becoming primordial emperors, they are still top experts who look down on the ten thousand ancient races. Do you think that such a peerless race only has one self-proclaimed God-realm expert? Moreover, they still have the sons of the heavenly sovereign and Sage Emperor Tai Yang who have sealed themselves to this life. What realm do you think their guardians will be in?¡± After hearing what Heaven Demon said, Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed slightly. If the primordial sage race was really as powerful as he said, then with the current strength of the human race, they would definitely be defeated in half a month. ¡°Senior, could it be that the demon god race is afraid of the primordial sage race?¡± Qin Chen goaded the otherworldly demon. ¡°Afraid?¡± Heaven Demon snorted coldly, ¡°The primordial sage race has reserves, but do you think that the demon god race doesn¡¯t? When Heaven and Earth are fully restored, the experts of our race will be revived. With them will be the son of the primordial emperor of our race, His Highness Mo Yuan. With His Highness Mo Yuan around, why should our race be afraid?¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t you join forces with the human race half a month later and teach the primordial sage race a lesson?¡± Qin Chen nodded and tried to rope in the demon god race again. Heaven Demon glanced at Qin Chen and knew that he had fallen into the latter¡¯s goading. He immediately adjusted his state of mind and replied softly, ¡°The experts of our race have yet to be born. We don¡¯t want to fall out with the primordial sage race at this time, and we don¡¯t want to become tools for the human race either.¡± ¡°Since senior is determined not to make a move, then there¡¯s no point in me saying anything more. I¡¯ll take my leave,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands and did not intend to continue persuading the other party. He turned around and was about to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to fight for it? What if I agree to your request?¡± Heaven Demon suddenly spoke and stopped Qin Chen, who was about to leave. ¡°Senior, you already know why I¡¯m here,¡± Qin Chen replied neither obsequiously nor haughtily, ¡°If you were willing to help, you would have agreed long ago. If you¡¯re not willing, it¡¯s useless no matter how much I try to persuade you. There¡¯s no need to waste my breath.¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re quite stubborn,¡± Heaven Demon snorted and went straight to the point, ¡°Brat, the demon god race can join hands with the human race, but you have to help me do one thing.¡± ¡°Senior, please speak!¡± Qin Chen nodded in response. Heaven Demon didn¡¯t keep him in suspense and said frankly, ¡°The Divine Spirit Source that His Highness Mo Yuan sealed himself had some problems in the long river of time. It has resulted in his absence now. As long as you can help His Highness Mo Yuan to be revived, I can guarantee the safety of the human race.¡± ¡°This¡­ What should I do?¡± Qin Chen was confused. Sealing a living being could only be done by God-realm experts. He had no idea how to help the ancient Prince, Mo Yuan, be revived. ¡°This might be difficult for us, but it¡¯s very easy for you. You possess extraordinary weapon-refining and pill-refining techniques. As long as you refine the Divine Spirit Source that seals His Highness Mo Yuan, he will be able to be revived safely,¡± Heaven Demon replied indifferently. He had already thought of a way. If one wanted to refine the Divine Spirit Source without harming His Highness Mo Yuan, one would need a terrifying mastery over soul control, which was only achievable by top weapon and pill masters. In this life, in the entire Canglan Continent, the only person who could be called a top pill and weapon refining master was the human Elder King. That was why Heaven Demon had said so much before. It was to make Qin Chen help him willingly. Qin Chen had a puzzled look on his face. He did not expect Heaven Demon¡¯s request to be so simple. Without any hesitation, he agreed and nodded, ¡°Senior, I agree to your request. However, you have to keep your promise and join forces with the human race to deal with the primordial sage race in half a month.¡± Chapter 200 - 200 Demonization 200 Demonization ¡°No problem. As long as His Highness Mo Yuan is safe, the demon god race is willing to work with the human race in half a month,¡± Heaven Demon agreed very decisively. ¡°Senior, when can I go and refine the Divine Spirit Source?¡± Qin Chen nodded and asked. ¡°The Divine Spirit Source can be refined at any time, but this matter concerns His Highness Mo Yuan, so we need a day to prepare. I will bring you there tomorrow morning.¡± After Heaven Demon finished speaking, he asked Mo Luowan to bring Qin Chen to rest and prepare to refine the Divine Spirit Source the next day. Qin Chen was brought to a place not far from Heaven Demon¡¯s residence. This was also a skull-like building. The decorations inside were eerie as well. The entire room was filled with the bones of living creatures, which made one¡¯s hair stand on end. ¡°You¡¯d better stay here and not go anywhere. Otherwise, if you get caught and eaten by that Lord, you can¡¯t blame anyone,¡± Mo Luowan snorted and left, leaving Qin Chen alone. Qin Chen closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bone bed. He released his soul power and carefully sensed his surroundings. In just a short while, he could sense the aura of several Supreme Sages. He could not help but exclaim in his heart, ¡°As expected of the demon god race, their reserves were truly terrifying.¡± [Ding!] [Divinity remains have been discovered here. Would you like to check in?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] The system¡¯s voice suddenly rang in his ears, giving Qin Chen quite a shock. He never thought that he would find a checkpoint here. ¡°Check-in!¡± Qin Chen muttered. [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have obtained the ancient emperor¡¯s secret technique, Demonization!] Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately opened the system¡¯s introduction. [Demonization: An ancient emperor¡¯s secret technique of the demon god race. After demonization, the user will lose all sense of pain and his physical strength will be strengthened by ten times (the higher the cultivation, the lower the strengthening.)] Looking at the system¡¯s introduction, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He did not expect that he would be able to get a treasure by checking in here. Although Demonization was only an ordinary ancient emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, it was a great help for Qin Chen. The combination of Demonization, the rule of force, and Nine-cycles Green Lotus was simply a peerless killing technique, allowing Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength to reach another level. After a sleepless night of cultivation, Qin Chen finally grasped the basics of Demonization. The next morning, Mo Luowan came to find Qin Chen and brought him to the forbidden grounds of the demon god race. This was a cellar in the deepest part of the demon god race. There were many powerful arrays around it, and even a Supreme Sage would find it hard to enter. Heaven Demon had been waiting outside the cellar for a long time. When he saw Qin Chen, he smiled and said softly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, it¡¯s all up to you today.¡± ¡°I will definitely do my best,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands and replied. Heaven Demon nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. He brought Qin Chen into the cellar. As soon as he entered the cellar, Qin Chen felt a bone-chilling coldness. The walls were covered in frost and a powerful aura came from the depths. Qin Chen could feel a pressure that was even more terrifying than that of Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. Following Heaven Demon, the two soon arrived at the depths of the cellar. There was a black-purple Divine Spirit Source here, and it gave off a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation. ¡°This is the Divine Spirit Source that is sealing His Highness Mo Yuan. It should have been broken in this era, but the spiritual energy contained in this Divine Spirit Source is too strong, causing His Highness Mo Yuan to be unable to be revived. The rest is up to you,¡± Heaven Demon snorted. ¡°I won¡¯t fail my mission,¡± Qin Chen nodded, then sat down in front of the Divine Spirit Source. He placed his palm on the Divine Spirit Source which then emitted a dazzling spiritual energy light. The spiritual energy was refined and absorbed by Qin Chen. Heaven Demon didn¡¯t leave. Instead, he stood guard at the side. After all, this matter was not as simple as it seemed. If Qin Chen absorbed Mo Yuan¡¯s spiritual energy in the process, Mo Yuan might die straight away in the Divine Spirit Source. At that time, even a primordial emperor would not be able to save him. Qin Chen also knew the risks of this matter, so he was very focused. With his vast soul power, he refined the Divine Spirit Source bit by bit. As for Mo Yuan¡¯s spiritual energy, he did not touch it at all. Mo Luowan, who had come in with them, suddenly said, ¡°Race leader, can the human Elder King really help His Highness Mo Yuan to be revived?¡± ¡°If even he can¡¯t refine the Divine Spirit Source, then His Highness Mo Yuan will have to wait for those old monsters to be revived before he can break out of the Divine Spirit Source. If that happens, His Highness won¡¯t be able to obtain the benefits of the recovery of the world,¡± Heaven Demon sighed softly and looked at Qin Chen silently. His eyes were filled with hope. When Heaven and Earth recovered, all cultivators would receive feedback. The feedback was extremely great, and he did not want His Highness Mo Yuan to miss this opportunity. As time passed, Qin Chen absorbed more and more spiritual energy, and his aura became increasingly stronger. He had already reached the peak of the Sage King realm, only one step away from the Supreme Sage realm. In a short while, the power of countless great paths poured into the demon god race¡¯s small world, forming a dark tribulation cloud above the cellar, shocking all the demon god clansmen. ¡°Race leader, is he going to break through to the Supreme Sage realm? If he breaks through here, wouldn¡¯t His Highness Mo Yuan be affected as well?¡± Mo Luowan cried out in alarm, his expression extremely ugly. Looking at the increasingly terrifying tribulation clouds in the sky, Heaven Demon¡¯s face turned ugly as well. If the heavenly tribulation fell here, not only would His Highness Mo Yuan be in danger, but the other clansmen would also be implicated. He immediately barked at Mo Luowan, ¡°Inform all the elders in the race to activate the array and isolate the aura of the human Elder King. If the heavenly tribulation still strikes, ask the elders to work with me to stop it. We must not let it affect His Highness Mo Yuan.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Luowan glared at Qin Chen and immediately ran off to send the message. A dozen breaths later, the demon god race activated the race-protection array, temporarily isolating Qin Chen¡¯s aura. Although the tribulation clouds did not retreat, their auras became much weaker. Heaven Demon heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. ¡°Elder King, this is not the place for you to undergo your tribulation. Please suppress your cultivation,¡± Heaven Demon said and stared at Qin Chen with a serious look. Qin Chen didn¡¯t reply, but his body was glowing. This was the power of the Chaotic Holy Body, suppressing his cultivation. After half a day, the dark purple Divine Spirit Source had become transparent. One could clearly see a seductive purple-skinned youth with a demonic mark on his forehead sleeping in the Divine Spirit Source. This was the son of the demon god race¡¯s primordial emperor, Mo Yuan. Seeing the obvious effect, Heaven Demon smiled. Then, at this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s aura suddenly exploded, causing Heaven Demon to cry out in alarm, ¡°Not good!¡± Chapter 201 - 201 Demon Abyss 201 Demon Abyss ¡°Buzz~ Buzz!¡± The demon god race¡¯s small world was filled with muffled thunder. A black lightning dragon was circling in the tribulation clouds in the sky, releasing an extremely terrifying aura. The entire demon god race was shocked by this. ¡°My God, is someone breaking through to the God realm? Could it be the race leader?¡± ¡°This tribulation cloud is too terrifying! I feel like the demon god world will be split apart.¡± ¡°Who is it? To think he dares to break through in the demon god world! Does he think that the race¡¯s rules are just for show?¡± Many clansmen of the demon god race were shouting in anger. All of them wanted to know who was going through the tribulation now. At this moment, Qin Chen was still refining the Divine Spirit Source in the cellar. He could not stop, otherwise, the Divine Spirit Source would devour Mo Yuan¡¯s spiritual energy. If that happened, even if Mo Yuan did not die, he would be severely injured. This was not something Qin Chen wanted to see. Heaven Demon¡¯s expression changed drastically. Once the heavenly tribulation fell, even the fully activated race-protection array could barely block it. After all, this heavenly tribulation was targeted at Qin Chen. Apart from Qin Chen, no one else could resist it, not even the God realm experts. ¡°How can I make a breakthrough now? Suppress!¡± Qin Chen grunted and activated his Chaotic Holy Body. The power of ten thousand paths surged into his body, turning into shackles that suppressed his cultivation. With that, Qin Chen¡¯s aura was once again retracted into his body. The aura of the heavenly tribulation gradually weakened before finally dissipating in the air. ¡°Suppress!¡± Qin Chen roared. The Desolate Divine Halberd appeared out of thin air and hung above his head. It released its quasi-emperor might and suppressed Qin Chen¡¯s aura, allowing him to continue refining the Divine Spirit Source without any worries. Seeing this, Heaven Demon was relieved. He said gratefully, ¡°Thank you, fellow Daoist. After this, I will definitely help you break through.¡± Suppressing one¡¯s cultivation while breaking through would bring countless side effects on the cultivator. It would affect the cultivator¡¯s next breakthrough. In serious cases, it might even cause the cultivator unable to break through for the rest of his life. Therefore, when Heaven Demon saw that Qin Chen did not hesitate to use a quasi-emperor weapon to suppress his cultivation, his attitude instantly improved a lot. He even promised to help Qin Chen break through again. Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything and continued to refine the Divine Spirit Source. After 15 minutes, the Divine Spirit Source turned transparent. All the spiritual energy contained in it had been absorbed by Qin Chen. ¡°Break!¡± Qin Chen shouted, and a crack appeared on the Divine Spirit Source. It then split open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Mo Yuan¡¯s body appeared in front of Qin Chen and Heaven Demon. ¡°The current race leader of the demon god race greets Your Highness Mo Yuan!¡± Heaven Demon saluted Mo Yuan and said with respect. At this moment, Qin Chen put away the Desolate Divine Halberd and stood quietly at the side, looking at Mo Yuan who was standing where he originally was and gradually returning to his consciousness. Mo Yuan¡¯s eyelids opened, revealing a pair of soul-stirring purple eyes. A terrifying aura spread out from his body, bringing with it an extremely terrifying pressure, causing Qin Chen and Heaven Demon to take two steps back. He then twisted his neck, revealing his little sharp teeth. He yawned and looked at Qin Chen, then smiled and said, ¡°Thanks! You helped me to be born before the world revives.¡± ¡°Your Highness, you¡¯re being too polite,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands in response. A smile appeared on Heaven Demon¡¯s face. He then looked at Mo Yuan nervously and asked, ¡°Does your Highness feel any discomfort?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m safe and sound. I¡¯m at my peak condition. This is all thanks to this fellow human Daoist. You can¡¯t be stingy. You must fulfill the conditions that you¡¯ve promised him,¡± Mo Yuan snorted. Although he had been in the Divine Spirit Source, he still knew some things, including the war between the two factions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Your Highness. I will definitely do my best to help the Elder King in the war between the two factions,¡± Heaven Demon nodded and patted his chest to assure Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan nodded. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°Elder King, right? Your name is quite strange. This time, to help me come into being, you didn¡¯t hesitate to suppress your cultivation. If you have any other conditions, just tell me and I¡¯ll help you fulfill them.¡± ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness, but I have no other conditions,¡± Qin Chen shook his head in response. Mo Yuan did not say anything. Instead, he gave Heaven Demon a look. Heaven Demon then took out a golden pill and handed it to Qin Chen. He smiled and said, ¡°This is a Supreme Sage-level breakthrough pill. with it, you will definitely be able to break through again. ¡± ¡°Many thanks, senior,¡± Qin Chen nodded. He did not stand on ceremony with Heaven Demon and kept the breakthrough pill. Then, he followed the two to the demon god race¡¯s main hall. ¡°Elder King, there¡¯s something that I think it¡¯s time to tell you. We found that the two human Supreme Sages that came with you to Yinyue City had recently contacted the primordial sage race and the giant race,¡± Heaven Demon suddenly opened his mouth and revealed an incredible secret. When Qin Chen heard this, he was very shocked. When the news about him was leaked in Yinyue City, he had already suspected Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother. However, he had never thought that they, as human Supreme Sages, would actually have connections with the ten thousand ancient races. Were they going to betray the human race? ¡°Hmph, scum like them don¡¯t deserve to live in this world. Why don¡¯t I help you get rid of them so that I can return the favor?¡± Mo Yuan snorted and offered to help Qin Chen get rid of Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother. Qin Chen shook his head. This was, after all, an internal matter of the human race. There was no need to ask Mo Yuan to help solve it. As such, he immediately refused, ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble your highness. The human race will deal with those two.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Mo Yuan did not mention the matter anymore. However, Heaven Demon brought up another matter, ¡°Elder King, according to the news that my race has received, the great change of the world is not far away. At that time, the entire world will undergo a great change, and the nine Heavens and ten lands will become one again. At that time, the primordial sage race¡¯s God realm expert will be revived. Since the human race¡¯s God has killed the primordial sage race¡¯s God, they will definitely not let you off.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen frowned. If the primordial sage race¡¯s God was truly revived, the human race would be the first to suffer. After all, with the current strength of the human race, they would not be able to stop a God. Rather, they might be in danger of being exterminated. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so worried. Although the primordial sage race is strong, there are many other races stronger than them in the Canglan Continent. When the nine Heavens and ten lands merge into one, the primordial sage race won¡¯t be the decision-maker in the Canglan Continent. If they want to attack the human race, the experts of the nine Heavens and ten lands will naturally stop them,¡± Mo Yuan snorted and did not think much of the primordial sage race at all. What he said shocked Qin Chen even more. To think there were races that were stronger than the primordial sage race in the Canglan Continent! When the nine Heavens and ten lands merged into one, how would the human race protect themselves with their current strength? Qin Chen felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He could not help but look at Mo Yuan and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Your Highness Mo Yuan, do you know when the world will change?¡± Chapter 202 - 202 Explanation 202 Explanation Mo Yuan shook his head. Although he could sense that the world was about to change through a secret technique, he could not know the exact time. He replied softly, ¡°Except for the ancient shaman race, no one can detect the exact time of the world¡¯s great change, not even the Gods. But I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t be long.¡± ¡°Thank you for the information, Your Highness!¡± Qin Chen expressed his thanks and discussed the war between the two factions before leaving the demon god race. After that, he found the big scorpion and the other two near Yinyue City. ¡°Elder King, are you alright? Did the demon god race give you any trouble?¡± Seeing that Qin Chen had returned, the big scorpion hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a nervous expression. When Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother saw that Qin Chen had returned safely, their eyes turned gloomy for a second before they quickly smiled and ran to welcome him. They asked, ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re finally back. How did the discussion with the demon god race go? Are they willing to join hands with the human race?¡± Qin Chen took a deep look at Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother, then replied softly, ¡°I¡¯m fine, but the demon god race doesn¡¯t want to join forces with us.¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion¡¯s expression changed slightly, while Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother heaved a sigh of relief. Both of them thank the Gods for this outcome as they sneered at Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, is it because you didn¡¯t try hard enough to persuade them that the demon god race refused to join forces with the human race? Didn¡¯t you say that the matter was a guarantee when you came to Yinyue City?¡± ¡°Hmph, you two are really interesting. The demon god race is not willing to work with the human race, but what does that have to do with the Elder King? If you¡¯re so capable, go talk to the demon god race yourselves!¡± The big scorpion snorted coldly. Patriarch Wandu sneered and did not let the matter rest, ¡°This matter concerns the survival of the human race. If the Elder King did not manage to convince the demon god race, how are we going to explain this to the Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the others when we return?¡± ¡°Enough. I will give the human race an explanation for this,¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly, then flew towards the Great Qin Dynasty with the big scorpion. Looking at the back of the man and the demon, Patriarch Wandu¡¯s face turned cold. He didn¡¯t avoid Ice Mother at all as he snorted, ¡°Elder King, when we return, I will definitely destroy you.¡± ¡­ Qin Chen and the other three returned to the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial city soon. When Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the rest received the news, they gathered in the great hall of the imperial palace to welcome them. All of them looked at Qin Chen and the other three with burning gazes, wanting to know the outcome of the Elder King¡¯s negotiations with the demon god race. ¡°Elder King, you¡¯ve worked hard. Did the demon god race agree to join forces with our human race?¡± ¡°Hahahaha. Since the Elder King has personally gone, I¡¯m sure the demon god race has agreed.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t keep us in suspense, Elder King. What¡¯s the demon god race¡¯s attitude? Are they willing to join forces with the humans?¡± When the group of people saw that Qin Chen had returned, they couldn¡¯t help but ask him eagerly. Supreme Sage Qin Tian cleared his throat to silence the crowd. After that, he asked, ¡°Elder King, did the demon god race agree to join forces with the human race?¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m afraid to disappoint you all, but the Elder King didn¡¯t manage to convince the demon god race, and the demon god race won¡¯t be joining forces with the human race,¡± Before Qin Chen could reply, Patriarch Wandu spoke first, his eyes full of mockery. When the group of people heard this, their eyes were filled with disappointment. They did not expect that the Elder King would not be able to convince the demon god race. At this time, Ice Mother secretly gave a look to a few of the Sages at the sides. Then, the Sages began to speak one after another, mocking Qin Chen sarcastically. ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Elder King full of confidence before he left? Why didn¡¯t you manage to convince the demon god race?¡± ¡°I heard that Elder King went to the demon god race alone to negotiate. Now that the negotiation has failed, shouldn¡¯t he give us an explanation?¡± ¡°Hmph, the Elder King is so arrogant. How can he convince the demon god race?¡± ¡°Since the Elder King is so incompetent, how can you not give us an explanation?¡± Upon hearing these voices, many in the hall frowned. Patriarch Kuang Ren was more infuriated. He unleashed his Supreme Sage might and barked at the few people who were speaking, ¡°Do you have no brains? The demon god race is one of the ten thousand ancient races, so it¡¯s only right that they don¡¯t agree to work with us. How can you blame the Elder King?¡± ¡°Hmph, old man Duanmu, are you trying to exonerate the Elder King? This matter was clearly due to the Elder King¡¯s incompetence, so he naturally has to give us an explanation,¡± Patriarch Wandu retorted. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Ice Mother sang along, ¡°It¡¯s only natural that one should be punished for one¡¯s incompetence. Even the Elder King has to give us an explanation. ¡± ¡°Explanation? Don¡¯t forget, you two went with the Elder King. Yet you two shameless old hags dare to ask the Elder King to give you an explanation?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren shouted coldly, not taking heed of Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother¡¯s words at all. He simply scolded the two for being shameless in front of everyone. Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother¡¯s faces turned red with anger. Patriarch Wandu even shouted at Patriarch Wandu, ¡°Old man Duanmu, since you¡¯re speaking up for the Elder King, could it be that he is your family¡¯s live-in son-in-law? No matter what, he has to give us an explanation today.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll f*cking give you an explanation! If you want an explanation, I¡¯ll give it to you. I¡¯m just afraid you won¡¯t dare to take it!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren shouted coldly. He took out the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle and tried to suppress Patriarch Wandu. Patriarch Wandu¡¯s expression abruptly changed. He then looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian and shouted, ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, are you going to let this mad dog bite people?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s eyes narrowed and his expression turned ugly. He turned to Patriarch Kuang Ren and said softly, ¡°Brother Duanmu, we¡¯re all humans. Let¡¯s stop!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren harrumphed. He did not want to make things difficult for Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Hence, he kept the Heaven-devouring Emperor bottle. However, his eyes were still staring at Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother as he exerted a great amount of pressure on the two. Patriarch Wandu ignored Patriarch Kuang Ren¡¯s gaze and snorted again, ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, if the Elder King does not explain himself, I¡¯m afraid everyone will complain.¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯d like to see who¡¯s so ignorant to be in cahoots with you, you shameless old man,¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren said coldly as he glared at the crowd, silencing them. ¡°Old man Duanmu, aren¡¯t you going too far by bullying everyone?¡± Ice Mother snorted. Patriarch Kuang Ren¡¯s eyes turned cold as he glared at Ice Mother. A terrifying pressure came crashing down, causing Ice Mother to be caught off guard and retreat a few steps back. At this moment, Qin Chen, who had been silent all this while, suddenly yawned. He looked at Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother coldly and said in a deep voice, ¡°What kind of explanation do you want me to give you?¡± Chapter 203 - 203 Spies 203 Spies Now that the Elder King suddenly spoke, everyone turned to look at him. Patriarch Kuang Ren snorted, ¡°Elder King, this matter is not your fault. You don¡¯t need to care about their words. I¡¯d like to see who dares to make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, senior Duanmu. But I¡¯d like to see how they¡¯re going to deal with me,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands at Patriarch Kuang Ren, feeling grateful to this senior who had always supported him. Then, he looked at Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother and asked, ¡°How are you going to deal with me? How do you want me to give you an explanation?¡± Patriarch Wandu¡¯s eyes narrowed. He didn¡¯t expect the Elder King to step forward. Since that was the case, he didn¡¯t have to hold back anymore, ¡± Elder King, you have failed in your task and failed to convince the demon god race. No matter what, you should give us an explanation. in my opinion, you should hand over your quasi-emperor weapon so that you won¡¯t continue to be arrogant in the future.¡± ¡°B*stard, the quasi-emperor weapon is the Elder King¡¯s personal property. What legitimate reason do you have for him to hand it over? You shameless old man, you¡¯re just up to no good,¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren roared in anger. He was so angry that his face turned red and his veins popped on his neck. He looked frightening. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes also turned cold. It was one thing for these two to be spies of the human race, but to think they even dared to covet the Desolate Divine Halberd. He immediately snorted, ¡°You¡¯re really two shameless old fellows!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve insulted me and Ice Mother many times. Do you really think we don¡¯t have a temper? Or are you saying that Elder King and the Duanmu family have the final say in the human race?¡± Patriarch Wandu bellowed, once again using his words to set a trap for Qin Chen and Patriarch Kuang Ren. ¡°You have a sharp tongue. Watch how I suppress you!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren was infuriated. He did not hold back any longer and immediately attacked Patriarch Wandu. A terrifying pressure swept over and Patriarch Wandu could not fight back at all. He could only retreat in defeat. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Has the human race become a place where we only reason with our fists? Or is it that the entire human race is now under your control, and we don¡¯t even have the right to question you?¡± Ice Mother stirred up public opinion, causing many to show doubtful expressions. They even began to doubt the fairness of the Supreme Sages of the human race. Supreme Sage Qin Tian revealed a troubled expression. Just as he was hesitating whether he should make a move, Qin Chen suddenly spoke, ¡°To think two human spies dare to question others! As soon as he said that, the expressions of Ice Mother and Patriarch Wandu changed drastically. The others were also shocked and in disbelief. ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t you go around framing people!¡± Ice Mother gritted her teeth, ¡°How dare you accuse me and Patriarch Wandu like this? Are you trying to join forces with old man Duanmu to force us into confessing?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even say that you two are the spies, yet you jumped out so anxiously. Are you afraid that everyone can¡¯t tell that you are the spy?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a disdainful smile. ¡°You¡­!¡± Ice Mother was at a loss for words. For a moment, she couldn¡¯t find any words to explain herself. Facing the doubtful eyes of the crowd, she couldn¡¯t help but retreat as she broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°So you¡¯re a dog that has already joined the ten thousand ancient races. I¡¯ll kill you with a single palm!¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren roared and his attacks became even fiercer. Without holding back, he threw out his extreme emperor weapon and sealed the hall. then, he activated his emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and suppressed Patriarch Wandu. ¡°You¡¯re just abusing your power to get back at me!¡± Patriarch Wandu shouted miserably, ¡°You¡¯re accusing me of something I didn¡¯t do! Where is the justice?¡± Everyone looked at this scene with suspicion in their eyes. Patriarch Jiu Long spoke on behalf of everyone, asking, ¡°Elder King, you said that they are spies. Do you have any evidence?¡± ¡°Senior Jiu Long, it was the demon god race¡¯s race leader, Heaven Demon, who told me about this. He said that these two people had long had dealings with the giant race and the primordial sage race, and they were also the ones who leaked the news about my presence in Yinyue City! If senior doesn¡¯t believe me, you can ask senior Heaven Demon for confirmation,¡± Qin Chen explained slowly and reasonably. When the crowd heard this, most of them chose to believe him. After all, Patriarch Wandu and Ice Mother did not have a good reputation. Compared to them, everyone was naturally more willing to believe the Elder King, who was one of the representatives of the human race. ¡°I¡¯m innocent. The Elder King is just talking nonsense. He¡¯s just determined to kill me,¡± Patriarch Wandu cried out loudly, then questioned Qin Chen, ¡°You said that the demon god race¡¯s race leader told you this, but did anyone else hear it? The demon god race is elusive, and no one knows where their race is. How do you want us to ask Heaven Demon? You¡¯re determined to kill me, you¡¯re really cruel!¡± Seeing that Patriarch Wandu was still quibbling, Qin Chen harrumphed and said in a deep voice, ¡°Who said there¡¯s no way to verify it? To tell you the truth, the demon god race has already agreed to join forces with the human race. Do you want me to take you to the demon god race to confront them?¡± ¡°What? Didn¡¯t you say that you didn¡¯t come to an agreement with the demon god race?¡± Patriarch Wandu was shocked, and his expression looked worse than if he had eaten shit. ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Chen snorted, ¡°With a human spy like you around, I naturally have to say that. ¡± Patriarch Wandu was at a loss for words, his face ashen. Ice Mother, seeing that they had been exposed, immediately cast the Blood Shield Technique. With that, a layer of blood mist exploded from her body, and she disappeared from the hall. ¡°Leave her to me! I¡¯ll bring her back,¡± The eldest Princess snorted coldly and disappeared as well, chasing after Ice Mother. ¡°Old man, as a human Supreme Sage, how dare you betray the human race? You¡¯re really an animal that doesn¡¯t deserve to be human. See that I¡¯ll kill you with one palm strike,¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren roared and used his extreme emperor weapon to suppress Patriarch Wandu. He then raised his palm high and unleashed an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, wanting to kill Patriarch Wandu with a single slap. Patriarch Wandu was terrified and took out a golden scroll. The scroll shone with a terrifying primordial imperial might and helped him break free from the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s suppression. ¡°Hmph! You guys don¡¯t know how terrifying the primordial sage race is. In the war between the two factions, you guys are destined to be annihilated,¡± Patriarch Wandu snorted coldly. Then, he used the golden scroll to protect himself and turned into a cloud of poisonous mist to escape into the sky. ¡°You want to escape? Do you think you can?¡± Qin Chen snorted and the Desolate Divine Halberd appeared in his hand. Its quasi-emperor might caused the entire hall to shake. His eyes narrowed and he threw the Desolate Divine Halberd out, freezing Patriarch Wandu in mid-air. ¡°Elder King, are you trying to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial city by starting a war here?¡± Patriarch Wandu roared, but as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen suddenly appeared behind him. Qin Chen¡¯s Sagely might erupted and he kicked Patriarch Wandu¡¯s lower abdomen. With a whoosh, Patriarch Wandu was sent flying into the stars. ¡°Why did you choose to be a beast instead of a good person? Today, I¡¯ll end your life with my own hands.¡± Chapter 204 - 204 Killing Patriarch Wandu 204 Killing Patriarch Wandu In the boundless starry sky, Qin Chen let out a roar, exuding boundless Sagely might. Although he was still in the Sage King realm, his aura was infinitely close to the Supreme Sage realm. The terrifying might shattered the stardust within ten thousand miles. ¡°Elder King, you can¡¯t kill me! Otherwise, the primordial sage race will not let you off!¡± Patriarch Wandu¡¯s expression turned extremely unsightly. Although his realm was much higher than Qin Chen¡¯s, he couldn¡¯t help but feel terrified after seeing the other party¡¯s outburst. He even thought of surrendering. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd. he circulated the rule of force and charged at Patriarch Wandu. Patriarch Wandu did not want to fight with Qin Chen. He activated the golden scroll with all his might and exploded with primordial imperial might, blocking the attack from Qin Chen¡¯s Desolate Divine Halberd. Then, he flew toward the Emperor Star with all his might. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Qin Chen shouted angrily and threw the Desolate Divine Halberd out again. it hit the golden scroll heavily, causing a crack to appear on the golden scroll, which then showed signs of breaking. ¡°Elder King, this is the Ancient Emperor-grade scroll clone left behind by Sage Emperor Tai Yang. You¡¯ll be punished for blaspheming Sage Emperor Tai Yang,¡± Patriarch Wandu shouted as he ran for his life. He wanted to use Sage Emperor Tai Yang to scare Qin Chen. Qin Chen ignored him and called back the Desolate Divine Halberd. Then, he used the Ancient Void Technique and Moving Secret Technique to appear in front of Patriarch Wandu in an instant. Following this, he struck out with the halberd again which landed heavily on the golden scroll. With a crack, the golden scroll split open. Patriarch Wandu had thus lost his trump card. His face turned green, and without any hesitation, he turned and ran. Qin Chen took out the Sage-slaying Bow and Sage-slaying Arrow and shot an arrow out at full force. The arrow pierced through Patriarch Wandu¡¯s body and devoured his life force. ¡°Elder King, one day, I will settle the score with you!¡± Patriarch Wandu cried out in pain as the aura on his body became chaotic. Then, in the boundless starry sky, his body exploded, releasing a monstrous aura that swallowed Qin Chen and the starry sky. The self-destruction of a Supreme Sage was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He revolved the Thirty-three Heavens and activated his Chaotic Holy Body as well as the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand. With so many trump cards, Qin Chen was ultimately able to block the attack. As the aftershock dispersed, the starry sky within ten thousand miles was destroyed and all the stars had been blown into dust, leaving Qin Chen standing alone in the endless darkness. At this moment, a very obscure fluctuation flashed. Qin Chen had only noticed it by chance. He reached into the air and grabbed the aura. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Patriarch Wandu¡¯s remnant soul. ¡°Elder King, you can¡¯t kill me. if you kill me, the primordial sage race will not let you off!¡± Patriarch Wandu was at his wit¡¯s end. He could only bring up the primordial sage race again, praying that Qin Chen would let him go. However, his prayers were obviously useless. A ball of Golden Roc Dao Fire was ignited in Qin Chen¡¯s palm. The remnant soul of Patriarch Wandu let out a miserable cry and rose into a white smoke before it was destroyed in the universe. Qin Chen put away the Desolate Divine Halberd and his various supernormal knowledge. He took a step forward and returned to the imperial palace in an instant. At the same time, the eldest Princess also rushed back with a person in her hand. Ice Mother was thrown to the ground by the eldest Princess. She cried out in pain, then pleaded to the crowd, ¡°Patriarch Wandu forced me. I didn¡¯t betray the human race. Please give me a chance. I¡¯ll make up for my mistake in the future.¡± ¡°What did you do when you were a spy? What did you say? Is there anyone else in the human race who is your accomplice?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian glared at Ice Mother furiously. His terrifying aura was like a huge mountain, causing Ice Mother to be unable to breathe. She could only tell the truth. Ice Mother pointed out all the Sages who had mocked Qin Chen and demanded that the Elder King gave them an explanation just now. Some of these Sages wanted to escape, but they were suppressed by Supreme Sage Qin Tian before they could even take a few steps. ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, that¡¯s all I know. Other than the number of human Sages and the news of the demon god race rejecting Elder King, I didn¡¯t say anything else. I beg you, please let me go!¡± Ice Mother did not care about her dignity at all as she knelt in front of the crowd, begging them to let her live. Patriarch Kuang Ren¡¯s eyes turned cold. He wasn¡¯t that easy to persuade. With his bad temper, he shattered Ice Mother¡¯s dantian with a palm strike and roared, ¡°Beast, just what benefits did the ten thousand ancient races give you that you¡¯re willing to be a beast? You¡¯ve done such a heartless thing and you still want to live? You¡¯re simply delusional.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, please don¡¯t kill me. I don¡¯t want to die, I really don¡¯t want to die,¡± Ice Mother coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes suddenly became unfocused, and her voice was flustered. She had actually been scared crazy by Patriarch Kuang Ren. ¡°You still dare to pretend to be crazy. Do you think that you won¡¯t die if you pretend to be crazy?¡± Patriarch Kuang Ren bellowed and raised his hand to strike out once more. However, he was stopped by Supreme Sage Qin Tian. ¡°Ice Mother might still be useful. Let¡¯s keep her alive for now,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian snorted and ordered his men to bring Ice Mother and the other Sage spies away. After the matter was settled, Supreme Sage Qin Tian called Qin Chen over alone. he learned everything that had happened in the demon god race from Qin Chen. When he heard how powerful the primordial sage race was and how the world was about to change, his expression became extremely solemn. ¡°Do you think the human race will win the war between the two factions?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian suddenly asked. Qin Chen frowned and thought for a long time before he replied, ¡°If it was before, the human race¡¯s chances of winning wouldn¡¯t be more than 20%. But now, with the demon god race¡¯s help, the chance of winning should be 50%.¡± ¡°Half? That¡¯s good news. It would be great if the human race¡¯s God realm expert was here,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian sighed softly. If the old lunatic was still in the human race, how would the primordial sage race dare to target the human race? How could there be a war between two factions? ¡°Recently, I¡¯ve heard about the traces of the senior God, and I¡¯m planning to set off tomorrow to find him!¡± Qin Chen cleared his throat lightly as he recalled his conversation with the masked man at the auction. He might be able to find traces of the old lunatic in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. ¡°I see you¡¯re well-informed. In that case, I can only count on you. If you can let the senior God return, he will definitely bless the human race with peace,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian said seriously, placing all his hopes on Qin Chen. after all, Qin Chen had never disappointed him before. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, senior. I¡¯ll do my best,¡± Qin Chen patted his chest and promised. Supreme Sage Qin Tian nodded his head before asking, ¡°Where are you going to find the senior God? Do you need my help?¡± Qin Chen shook his head and replied softly, ¡°The forbidden ground, the Phoenix¡¯s Nest! ¡° Chapter 205 - 205 The Phoenix Dynasty 205 The Phoenix Dynasty ¡°The Phoenix¡¯s Nest!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian cried out in shock and his expression became nervous. After all, the Phoenix¡¯s Nest was one of the nine forbidden grounds in the Canglan Continent. It was a forbidden place that even he didn¡¯t dare to set foot in. ¡°Elder King, the Phoenix¡¯s Nest is a forbidden place. are you confident about this? Do you need my help?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian asked sternly. Qin Chen shook his head and replied softly, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. Since I could return safely from the Demon Emperor Tomb, I will definitely return safely this time as well.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Supreme Sage Qin Tian was half relieved. After giving Qin Chen a few instructions, he did not say anything more. After Qin Chen rested for a night in the palace, he brought the big scorpion to the north the next day. In the depths of the Northern Castle was a world of ice and snow. As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of white. There was not a single living being in sight, only a towering ice mountain and a sea of snow. At this moment, two beams of light streaked across the sky, flying toward the depths of the Northern Castle. They were Qin Chen and the big scorpion, who were rushing to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. Looking at the endless ice mountains and snow sea, the big scorpion showed a curious expression and asked, ¡°Elder King, where are we going?¡± Qin Chen did not tell the big scorpion that their destination was the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, one of the nine forbidden grounds. After all, with the big scorpion¡¯s cowardly personality, if he had told the latter, he might not have been able to get the other party to come even if he kidnapped him. Looking into the depths of the Northern Castle, the Phoenix¡¯s Nest was not far away. Thus, Qin Chen stopped hiding it from the big scorpion and said honestly, ¡°We¡¯re going to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest.¡± ¡°The Phoenix¡¯s Nest?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s expression changed and he stopped in the air. He wore an incredulous ¡°you tricked me¡± look on his face as he roared at Qin Chen, ¡°You¡¯re taking me to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Qin Chen nodded. The big scorpion raised its head and refused without thinking, ¡°Impossible. I won¡¯t go to the forbidden ground to court death. Whoever wants to go can go. Either way, I¡¯m not going.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the big scorpion immediately went on strike. Looking in the direction he came from, he had the thought of returning home. Seeing this, Qin Chen was not surprised at all. He had already expected that the big scorpion would refuse to go, so he replied with a smile, ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t have to go, but I heard that the Phoenix¡¯s Nest has scattered phoenix blood. Since you¡¯re going back, it seems that you won¡¯t have the opportunity.¡± ¡°Phoenix blood! are you telling the truth?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes were wide open. he was immediately attracted by Qin Chen¡¯s words. After all, if he devoured the phoenix blood, his bloodline would be improved again. It could even be comparable to the bloodlines of top demons like the flood dragon and fake phoenix. Seeing that the big scorpion was tempted, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He nodded and said, ¡°The information is highly credible. There must be phoenix blood in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. The big scorpion looked hesitant. Without the information about the phoenix blood, he would¡¯ve just left without looking back. However, it was different now that he knew about the phoenix blood. Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn¡¯t take a step. The attraction of the phoenix blood to him was just too great. After careful consideration, the big scorpion finally lost to the temptation of the phoenix blood. It snorted softly and said, ¡°Elder King, I can go with you to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, but I must have a share of the phoenix blood if we find it. You have to protect me too.¡± Qin Chen was speechless. The big scorpion was not weak. After devouring the golden roc, his cultivation base had advanced to level four of the Supreme Sage realm. Yet, such a powerful Supreme Sage was even more cowardly than an ordinary Sage king. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this trip won¡¯t be too dangerous,¡± Qin Chen replied softly. Then, he continued flying toward the Phoenix¡¯s Nest with the big scorpion. Soon after, a city appeared in front of them. On the city wall were three words: Wind Imperial Dynasty. The Phoenix¡¯s Nest was right behind the city, but Qin Chen did not go straight to it. instead, he landed on the Wind Imperial Dynasty¡¯s city wall. As soon as the two of them landed, a group of soldiers ran out of the city and surrounded them with alert expressions. ¡°Who are you? Why have you come to the Wind Imperial Dynasty?¡± The leading general asked loudly. The big scorpion rolled his eyes. He waved his hand and sent these people flying. He released his Supreme Sagely might and said in a deep voice, ¡°You think you¡¯re qualified to question us with your weak cultivation?¡± ¡°A¡­ A Sage realm expert! Fast, report this to the princess!¡± The general turned pale with fright and hurriedly ordered his men to return to the city to report. Qin Chen pulled the big scorpion behind him and smiled. He said to the general, ¡°We¡¯re just passing by. We don¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small city, so why bother explaining to them?¡± The big scorpion pouted and showed a look of disdain. At this moment, a terrifying aura came from the city. A child appeared at the city gate and said coldly, ¡°To think a mere demon race¡¯s Supreme Sage is so arrogant!¡± The big scorpion looked at the child and shuddered. It felt a terrifying pressure, and its scorpion face turned ugly. Qin Chen frowned. He had seen the child at the Myriad Races Gathering before. The child was the eight-shedding divine silkworm that struck fear into the hearts of the ten thousand ancient races. No wonder he had found the name Wind Imperial Dynasty familiar. So it was the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s territory. ¡°Senior, we¡¯re just passing by. We don¡¯t have any ill intentions,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands, not willing to offend this important figure. The eight-shedding divine silkworm also recognized Qin Chen and revealed a puzzled expression. it said softly, ¡°The human Elder King? Why aren¡¯t you in the Central Province looking for the demon god race? Why did you bring a demon to the Wind Imperial Dynasty?¡± ¡°Senior, we¡¯re going to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. We¡¯re just passing by the Wind Imperial Dynasty. We mean no harm,¡± Qin Chen did not hide anything and stated the purpose of his trip frankly. ¡°You¡¯re going to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest?¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm exclaimed. ¡°Yes, senior,¡± Qin Chen nodded. The eight-shedding divine silkworm was shocked. It looked at Qin Chen and the scorpion meaningfully, then shook its head and sighed, ¡°You want to go to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest with your abilities? You simply don¡¯t know what you¡¯re doing.¡± Qin Chen wasn¡¯t angry when he heard the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s words. He only said, ¡°Senior, the two of us have no ill intentions. I hope senior won¡¯t hold it against us for what happened before.¡± ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not that petty. As long as you don¡¯t do anything bad in the city, I don¡¯t care whether you¡¯re dead or alive,¡± the eight-shedding divine silkworm snorted and retracted its pressure, not bothering with the big scorpion anymore. At this moment, a red carriage drove out of the city, and a devastatingly beautiful girl in a red dress alighted from the carriage. The young girl took a look at the eight-shedding divine silkworm and walked over with her graceful figure. She patted the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s head and rebuked, ¡°Eight, it¡¯s just a misunderstanding. How can you be so rude to Elder King and his friend?¡± Chapter 206 - 206 Feng Qingxue 206 Feng Qingxue The big scorpion was dumbfounded when he saw this. He kept trying to guess who this girl was. To think she dared to pat the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s head. Could she be a God realm expert? ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Seeing the big scorpion¡¯s expression, the eight-shedding divine silkworm immediately snapped and glared at the big scorpion, which scared the latter. At this moment, the young girl patted the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s head again and said in a deep voice, ¡°Eight, don¡¯t be so rude.¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm was displeased, but it still stood behind the girl in silence in the end, not bothering to argue with the big scorpion. When the big scorpion saw this, its expression became complicated. It immediately bowed to the girl and said loudly, ¡°Greetings, senior! Please forgive my rudeness.¡± ¡°Senior?¡± The young girl looked confused, then smiled, ¡°I¡¯m only in the King realm. You¡¯re my senior. Senior, please don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± ¡°The King realm?¡± The big scorpion was confused. He felt like he couldn¡¯t think straight. If the girl was only in the King realm, how could she treat the eight-shedding divine silkworm like this? Seeing the big scorpion¡¯s reaction, the girl understood his doubts and quickly explained, ¡°Eight is my younger brother. His cultivation is much higher than mine. You can just call me Feng Qingxue.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re the elder sister of the senior eight-shedding divine silkworm, Princess Qingxue,¡± Qin Chen had heard of this name from Patriarch Jiu Long. This was an existence that no one in the entire Northern Castle dared to provoke. This was because Princess Qingxue had the divine silkworm race, which was ranked 4th among the ten thousand ancient races, behind her. ¡°You must be the Elder King! I¡¯m Qingxue. greetings, Elder King,¡± Feng Qingxue bowed to Qin Chen. She had heard a lot about the Elder King and was full of admiration for him. Qin Chen was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Feng Qingxue to be so humble. One had to know that her status in the Northern Castle was even higher than the Qian imperial clan. She was an existence that not even the human race or the ten thousand ancient races dared to provoke. The eight-shedding divine silkworm was displeased at the sight of this. It complained to Feng Qingxue, ¡°Elder sister, you don¡¯t have to be so polite to him. He¡¯s just a junior. He should be the one bowing to you.¡± Feng Qingxue pulled the eight-shedding divine silkworm to the side, then smiled at Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, please don¡¯t heed his words. He¡¯s just a child.¡± ¡°Senior eight-shedding divine silkworm is right. I¡¯m indeed just a junior. You¡¯re senior eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s sister, so you don¡¯t have to be so polite to me. Please treat me like a junior,¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. He was very humble and not arrogant at all. Looking at Qin Chen, Feng Qingxue¡¯s face suddenly turned red. She coughed drily and said, ¡°Eight is Eight, and I am me. Since the Elder King is the hero and foundation of the human race, as a human, I should naturally treat you with respect. Senior, you must have spent a lot of effort on the journey, so you should follow me in to rest first.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qingxue invited Qin Chen and the big scorpion into the city with great enthusiasm. She even set up a banquet in the palace to welcome them. The banquet was very grand, causing the eight-shedding divine silkworm to be displeased again. At night, Qin Chen was cultivating in his room when Feng Qingxue suddenly came to him and said outside the door, ¡°Senior, I heard from Eight that you¡¯re going to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest tomorrow. Do you need me to help you find some helpers?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± Qin Chen replied. Feng Qingxue was silent for a while before she spoke again, ¡°Senior, you must come back safely from the Phoenix¡¯s Nest.¡± With that, she ran off with a red face. All of this was seen by the eight-shedding divine silkworm standing on the roof. Qin Chen touched his chin. He did not understand why Feng Qingxue was like this, but he did not think too much about it. After all, Feng Qingxue had only said that she hope he would return safely. It was probably just out of concern. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. A gust of wind blew in, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the room. The eight-shedding divine silkworm walked in step by step. ¡°Senior divine silkworm, what is the meaning of this?¡± Qin Chen asked. The eight-shedding divine silkworm glared at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°Elder King, are you interested in my sister?¡± Qin Chen was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect the eight-shedding divine silkworm, which had lived for so many years, to ask him such a question. He immediately returned the question, ¡°Senior divine silkworm, what do you mean by that?¡± ¡°What do I mean?¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm snorted, ¡°I¡¯m asking you if you have any thoughts about my sister.¡± The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth twitched, and he hurriedly said, ¡°Of course not. Why would you say so, senior?¡± ¡°Then why did my sister appear at your door so late at night and even asked you to return safely? Tell me, do you have any thoughts about my sister?!¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm roared in anger and the aura on its body became increasingly terrifying. It was even more terrifying than Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s aura. Qin Chen found it hard to imagine that such a powerful person with such terrifying cultivation could have the heart of a child. ¡°Senior, I don¡¯t have any improper thoughts about Princess Qingxue. Please stop here and don¡¯t act rashly,¡± Qin Chen said in a low voice and secretly circulated the spiritual energy in his body. If the eight-shedding divine silkworm wanted to attack, he was confident that he could escape from this place. The eight-shedding divine silkworm stared at Qin Chen, frowning slightly. He did not expect Qin Chen to be so calm under his pressure. Even a Supreme Sage might not be able to do what Qin Chen did. At this moment, Feng Qingxue heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing this scene, she immediately shouted, ¡°Eight, don¡¯t mess around.¡± Seeing Feng Qingxue rush over, the eight-shedding divine silkworm immediately retracted his Sagely might and put on an innocent look. He raised the corner of his lips and said, ¡°We¡¯re just playing. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask him.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the eight-shedding divine silkworm sent a soul message to Qin Chen, ¡°Brat, if you dare to speak nonsense, I¡¯ll kill you with one slap.¡± Qin Chen was speechless, but there was no need to argue with the eight-shedding divine silkworm, so he agreed softly, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re just sparring. Princess, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°Oh! So that¡¯s how it is! It seems that I have disturbed you. Please continue!¡± Feng Qingxue grinned awkwardly and ran out, her face red. ¡°Brat, you¡¯re tactful!¡± After Feng Qingxue left, the eight-shedding divine silkworm revealed a smile that was no different from a mischievous child. Qin Chen cupped his hands, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have any ill intentions toward the princess. Please don¡¯t misunderstand. ¡± ¡°I hope you¡¯re telling the truth, or else I won¡¯t let you off the hook,¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm snorted coldly. it did not make things difficult for Qin Chen and turned to leave. Looking at the back of the eight-shedding divine silkworm, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes became deep. Although he had not really fought with the eight-shedding divine silkworm, he could clearly feel his power. He felt a sense of danger. The world was about to change, and he had to become stronger. Chapter 207 - 207 Origin Tracing 207 Origin Tracing On the second day, Qin Chen and the big scorpion arrived outside the Phoenix¡¯s Nest early in the morning. Feng Qingxue and the eight-shedding divine silkworm were with them. They were here to send Qin Chen and the big scorpion off and would not go to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. The Phoenix¡¯s Nest was an ancient mountain range that had existed for an unknown amount of time. Demonic beasts were everywhere in the mountain range. King realm demonic beasts could be found everywhere, as well as many Sage realm demonic beasts. It was a truly forbidden ground. No human had dared to enter it for ten thousand years. It was said that the Phoenix¡¯s Nest was the habitat of the phoenix race. The phoenix did not like other races, so anyone who entered the Phoenix¡¯s Nest would be killed by them. ¡°Elder King, please be careful on your trip to the Phoenix¡¯s Nest,¡± Feng Qingxue said softly, her face red. ¡°Yes, I know,¡± Qin Chen replied in a low voice. The eight-shedding divine silkworm revealed an unhappy expression and suddenly said, ¡°Kid, the Phoenix¡¯s Nest is a land of death. Anyone who goes in will die. I suggest you don¡¯t go in, or you¡¯ll lose your life. ¡± ¡°Eight, don¡¯t talk nonsense. The Elder King will definitely return safely,¡± Feng Qingxue rapped the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s head and rebuked unhappily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will be careful. Goodbye,¡± Qin Chen said lightly. After bidding farewell to the two, he brought the big scorpion into the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. ¡°Roar!¡± As soon as the two entered, they heard a beast¡¯s roar. A tiger-shaped giant beast jumped down from a small mountain and stood in front of them, baring its fangs. Its eyes revealed a fierce light, which was very terrifying. ¡°Hmph! A mere Venerable realm demonic beast dares to block my path!¡± Without the eight-shedding divine silkworm around, the big scorpion returned to its original nature. He roared at the tiger-shaped giant beast and released a monstrous Sagely might. With a wave of his hand, he suppressed the tiger-shaped giant beast. ¡°Roar!¡± The tiger-shaped giant beast let out a furious roar, and the surrounding small mountains shook. Just like the Demon God Tomb, no one could fly in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. Every blade of grass, tree, mountain, and rock was much more solid than those in the outside world. Now that the roar of the tiger-like giant beast could even shake the small mountain, it was obvious how extraordinary it was. It was much stronger than the demonic beasts outside. ¡°Hmph, I need a mount, and you will do,¡± The big scorpion snorted and jumped onto the back of the giant tiger, then said lazily, ¡°It¡¯s your honor to be my follower. Just be my mount obediently!¡± Sagely might burst out, and the giant tiger let out a roar. Its eyes were filled with unwillingness, but in the end, it still succumbed to the big scorpion¡¯s tyrannical might. It led the big scorpion and Qin Chen into the depths of the nest. The closer it was to the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, the higher the temperature was. the giant tiger was sweating profusely and was unwilling to go any further after walking a few hundred meters. ¡°Elder King, isn¡¯t the temperature here a little too terrifying? Even this stupid tiger doesn¡¯t dare to go in,¡± The big scorpion complained. Qin Chen looked into the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. His intuition told him that there must be something extraordinary inside. Therefore, he took out the Five Feathers Fan, activated it, and waved it. With that, a strong wind blew, and the temperature dropped. The heat disappeared and was instead replaced by a trace of coolness. ¡°What kind of treasure is this? It looks fun. Why don¡¯t you lend it to me for two days?¡± The big scorpion stared at the Five Feathers Fan with a fiery gaze. Qin Chen naturally had a tacit understanding of what the other party was thinking, so he simply rolled his eyes at him and patted the tiger¡¯s back. Then, they continued to walk into the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. With the help of the Five Feathers Fan, the two of them advanced for another few hundred meters. Finally, they arrived at the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. However, there were no treasures here. Instead, there was a vast ocean of fire that could take a person¡¯s life at any time. ¡°Roar~ Roar!¡± The giant tiger stuck out its tongue, its head covered in sweat. Its body was trembling, and its eyes were filled with fear. It was unwilling to move forward. ¡°You¡¯re really a big stupid tiger. Look at how timid you are. You¡¯re destined to be useless in your life,¡± The big scorpion snorted, then looked at Qin Chen and asked, ¡°Elder King, the temperature of these flames is even more terrifying than the Dao fires. Even if it¡¯s us, we might not be able to last long inside. Are we still going in?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine,¡± Qin Chen smiled. After giving the big scorpion a heat-resistant pill, he activated the Five Feathers Fan to open a path and brought the big scorpion in. This was a huge valley covered in a sea of fire. There were no living creatures in the valley, not even plants. Everything had been burned to ashes, leaving only inextinguishable flames. ¡°What kind of fire is this? Are they the flames left behind by the phoenix?¡± The big scorpion asked with lingering fear. The deeper they went, the more terrifying the pressure from the surrounding flames became. This pressure seemed to come from the soul and bloodline. ¡°The phoenix is a divine beast of fire. Even the Five Feathers Fan can¡¯t put out these flames, so the phoenix did likely leave behind these flames,¡± Qin Chen nodded, his thoughts surprisingly in line with the big scorpion¡¯s. ¡°Is there really a phoenix here? What about the phoenix blood? Where is the phoenix blood?¡± The big scorpion licked its lips and asked impatiently. Qin Chen looked at the sea of fire around him and his eyes turned serious. He shook his head and said, ¡°I can¡¯t sense the aura of the phoenix blood for now. Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± After saying that, the two of them carefully walked into the depths of the valley. However, when they reached the depths of the valley, they still found nothing, and there was no trace of the phoenix¡¯s blood either. ¡°Elder King, could it be that someone else beat us to it?¡± The big scorpion asked. Qin Chen frowned. The big scorpion¡¯s guess was plausible. Although the Phoenix¡¯s Nest was a forbidden ground, it was inevitable that there would be some who were not afraid of death barging in. The phoenix blood might have already been taken away. ¡°Let¡¯s go to other places to take a look. If we still can¡¯t find anything, we¡¯ll leave immediately,¡± Qin Chen snorted and continued to explore other places with the big scorpion. The two of them had almost searched the entire sea of fire, but they could not find the legendary phoenix blood, nor did they see any living beings. However, just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly discovered a skeleton. The skeleton was extremely huge. It must be the skeleton of a demonic beast. It emitted a faint Sagely light. Qin Chen was shocked. To think this was the skeleton of a Supreme Sage demonic beast. ¡°Hiss! Even a Supreme Sage realm demonic beast died here. It can¡¯t be that it¡¯s dangerous here, right?¡± The big scorpion took in a breath of cold air. Seeing the corpse of this demonic beast, he, who was also a demonic beast, felt very uneasy. Qin Chen walked closer and placed his palm on the demonic beast¡¯s skeleton. The Chaotic Holy Body suddenly circulated, and complicated and obscure Sage runes appeared on the skeleton, erupting with extremely terrifying Sagely light. This was an ultimate spell, Origin Tracing. Chapter 208 - 208 Phoenix 208 Phoenix In the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, golden Sagely light burst out of the skeleton. The Origin Tracing spell worked, and flesh grew on the skeleton again. In just a moment, it turned into a big lion with wings. The great lion was majestic and had a cultivation at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. It flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. At this moment, an elder hidden by the power of the great path suddenly appeared. Qin Chen looked at him and exclaimed, ¡°Crazy old man!¡± Although the old man¡¯s body was covered by the power of the great path, Qin Chen was very familiar with the old madman. he could tell at a glance that the elder was the old madman. ¡°Since it wasn¡¯t easy for you to cultivate, get lost!¡± The old madman roared, but the great lion didn¡¯t retreat. Instead, it advanced and let out a lion¡¯s roar. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced toward the old madman. ¡°Since you¡¯re looking for death, don¡¯t blame me,¡± The crazy old man snorted coldly. He slapped his palm across the air, and the great path trembled. A huge hand descended from the sky. The great lion was sent flying and lay on the ground, on the verge of death. ¡°Human, how dare you break into our nest? You¡¯re seeking death!¡± An angry roar rang out, and for a moment, flames filled the sky. Everything was burned, and a phoenix cry resounded through the sky. A flaming divine bird flew over, bathed in flames. Everywhere it passed, the world shook. ¡°This¡­ This is the phoenix!¡± The big scorpion turned pale with fright. All the pores on his body opened up, and his entire body trembled. Although it was only an image, he could still feel the pressure on his soul. The phoenix appeared, but the old madman still did not retreat. Instead, he stepped on tens of thousands of paths and his body was covered in Sagely light as he confronted the phoenix from afar. He shouted, ¡°Phoenix, your race has been in seclusion for several eras. Now that heaven and earth are about to recover, are you still going to continue sinking? ¡± ¡°Human, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being a busybody?¡± The phoenix said coldly. Its eyes were intimidating, causing Qin Chen and the big scorpion to shiver. The old lunatic revealed a melancholic expression and sighed, ¡°Back in the heaven burial era, your race¡¯s ancestors had once followed the Supreme Emperor Huang to battle. What exactly is it that has caused you to not even have the courage to show yourself in the world now?¡± ¡°Human, it seems that you know a lot! However, what you know is only a small part of it, so don¡¯t show off here. The secret is not something you can know. Go back!¡± The phoenix said with a hint of disdain in its eyes. ¡°What¡¯s the secret behind this?¡± The crazy old man asked. The phoenix raised its eyes and looked at him. It said in a deep voice, ¡°Human, the secrets hidden are too great. With your current cultivation, you don¡¯t deserve to know. Go back, or you¡¯ll attract great karma and may die here.¡± ¡°Hmph, I can leave if you want me to, but I need to borrow your natal divine feather!¡± The crazy old man coldly snorted and opened his mouth, wanting to borrow the phoenix¡¯s natal divine feather. ¡°Damn, is this old man crazy? That¡¯s a phoenix! To think he wants to borrow the phoenix¡¯s natal divine feather? Isn¡¯t he just courting death?¡± The big scorpion cried out in shock. He was shocked by the crazy old man¡¯s arrogant behavior. As expected, after hearing the old lunatic¡¯s words, the phoenix was immediately enraged. It flapped its flaming wings, bringing with it a sky full of divine flames, suppressing the old lunatic. ¡°Your race is very strong, but you¡¯ve only been born not long ago. You¡¯re not an adult yet. The current you isn¡¯t my match,¡± The crazy old man waved his hand, and the void shattered. Chains of the great path shot out, binding the phoenix¡¯s feet and wings, causing it to let out a series of angry cries. ¡°Human, the experts of my race are sleeping here. If I wake them up, the entire human race will be buried with you,¡± The phoenix let out a long cry. ¡°The phoenix is an auspicious divine beast. Your killing intent is too strong, which is not good,¡± The crazy old man replied softly. He was not threatened by the phoenix. He continued to exert the power of the great path and bound the phoenix in the air. ¡°Divine feather!¡± The crazy old man continued to show his might. A chain of great path pierced through the phoenix¡¯s chest, and drops of blood dripped from the sky, landing in the valley where the great lion had fallen. In an instant, the sky was filled with divine flames, and the great lion¡¯s body was also burned. The scene that the Origin Tracing spell showed gradually became blurry. ¡°Human, I, Feng Jiu, will definitely take revenge!¡± The phoenix let out a loud cry, and the image disappeared. The skeleton turned back into a pile of white bones, lying quietly on the ground without any signs of being moved. The big scorpion gulped and looked at Qin Chen. He said in horror, ¡°The human race has such a terrifying person, yet you¡¯re still afraid of the ten thousand ancient races?¡± Qin Chen was also surprised. The old lunatic¡¯s combat strength had completely exceeded his expectations. It might be far above that of a God. Otherwise, how could he have suppressed the phoenix? One had to know that phoenixes were the most terrifying divine beasts in the world! Other than the pure-blooded true dragon, who in the world would dare to fight with a phoenix? Although the phoenix was still young, it had the phoenix¡¯s bloodline. Even a newly born phoenix was more powerful than an ordinary Sage. The cultivation of the phoenix just now was at least above that of a God, but it was still suppressed in the end. From this, it could be seen how strong the old lunatic was. What surprised Qin Chen even more was that when he used the Origin Tracing spell just now, the old lunatic¡¯s mind had been very clear. There were no signs of madness. Qin Chen was a little confused. What exactly happened to the old lunatic? Where was he now? ¡°Elder King, the phoenix blood essence has already turned into inextinguishable flames. How am I supposed to collect it?¡± The big scorpion suddenly opened its mouth. It salivated at the phoenix blood essence. Qin Chen looked at the divine flames around him. His body was emitting Sagely light as he used an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge to gather all the flames and slowly refined them into a drop of blood. However, just as the blood was about to take shape, the divine flames suddenly showed their power and returned to their original state, leaving Qin Chen and the big scorpion helpless. ¡°No way, are we going to make a wasted trip? The phoenix blood is right here, but we can¡¯t even collect it. This is really infuriating,¡± The big scorpion had an ugly expression on his face. He used a secret technique to gather the divine flames, but in the end, he still ended up empty-handed. ¡°AI! It seems like we¡¯ve made a wasted trip,¡± Qin Chen let out a sigh. His eyes were filled with disappointment. If he could obtain the phoenix blood essence, his cultivation would be greatly improved. But now, it was all in vain. The two of them looked disappointed, but just as they were about to leave, a white light flashed from Qin Chen¡¯s storage ring, and a big black pot appeared out of thin air. The big black pot hung in the air. The emperor rune in the pot flickered, and a terrifying suction force burst forth, gathering the surrounding divine flames and turning them into blood essence bit by bit. In less than 15 minutes, a drop of fire divine blood appeared in the pot, releasing a terrifying aura. It brought extremely terrifying pressure on Qin Chen and the big scorpion! Chapter 209 - 209 Black Dragon Heavenly Tribulation 209 Black Dragon Heavenly Tribulation ¡°The phoenix blood essence!¡± The big scorpion cried out in surprise, his eyes burning with yearning as his drool flowed like a hanging waterfall. On the other hand, Qin Chen took action immediately. His Chaotic Holy Body burst activated as he reached out toward the big black pot, trying to grab the phoenix¡¯s blood essence. ¡°Kid, this phoenix blood essence has great karma. You can¡¯t touch it,¡± The big black pot snorted, and the emperor runes inside the pot glowed. In the blink of an eye, it devoured the condensed phoenix blood essence, causing Qin Chen to miss. ¡°Damn, the pot ate the treasure again?¡± The big scorpion gritted his teeth. He was furious, but he could not do anything to the big black pot. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes darkened. Since the big black pot could collect the phoenix¡¯s blood essence, he would not give up just like that. He barked, ¡°Big black pot, the phoenix blood must be divided equally. Otherwise, I¡¯ll seal you here and make you look after the phoenix¡¯s home.¡± ¡°Lord pot, for the sake of you devouring so much of my bloodline earlier, please just give me a drop of the blood essence. If that¡¯s a no, half a drop is fine too!¡± The big scorpion had no way to threaten the big black pot, so he could only beg bitterly. He was very humble. ¡°Brat, the phoenix blood essence is not something you can touch. Be careful not to get yourself involved in some terrible karma,¡± The big black pot snorted mysteriously and still refused to share the phoenix blood essence with the two. Although the power of karma did exist somewhere, it was extremely mysterious. Only some extremely powerful fortune-tellers could perform divinity. He did not believe that the big black pot could perform divinity, so he took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and roared, ¡°Hand over the phoenix blood essence, or I¡¯ll smash you into pieces!¡± ¡°Boy, I¡¯m made of emperor-grade material. Even a real emperor weapon can¡¯t break me, let alone a quasi-emperor weapon. The karma of the phoenix blood essence is too great. I¡¯ll bear it alone!¡± The big black pot was disdainful and continued condensing phoenix blood essence, which made Qin Chen¡¯s teeth itch with anger. Another drop of phoenix blood essence was successfully condensed. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes darkened and he decisively activated the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand. He threw it with all his might, nailing the big black pot in the air. Then, he used the Ancient Void Technique and reached out, directly grabbing the phoenix¡¯s blood essence. ¡°Kid, the phoenix blood essence isn¡¯t something you can handle. Give it back to me now,¡± The big black pot snorted and asked Qin Chen for the phoenix blood essence. Qin Chen grunted. His entire arm was being burned by the phoenix¡¯s divine fire. The Chaotic Holy Body glowed with golden light as he unleashed the power of the great path to resist the phoenix¡¯s divine fire. ¡°Collect!¡± Qin Chen said in a low voice and took out a jade bottle, trying to keep the phoenix blood essence. However, as soon as he did so, the jade bottle exploded because it could not withstand the high temperature of the phoenix blood essence, which then fell back into Qin Chen¡¯s hand. ¡°Brat, I¡¯ve told you that the phoenix blood essence is not something you can touch. Give it back to me now. Do you want to be burned to death by the phoenix¡¯s divine fire?¡± The big black pot opened its mouth again, unwilling to give up. ¡°Hmph, since I can¡¯t put it away, I¡¯ll just refine it now,¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned solemn. A Sagely might emanated from his palm, and he fused the phoenix blood essence into his body. As the phoenix¡¯s blood essence entered his body, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body began to burn, turning him into a man of flames. This gave the big scorpion beside him a huge scare. ¡°Elder King, are you alright?¡± The big scorpion cried out softly. Qin Chen didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he sat down on the ground with his legs crossed. His Chaotic Holy Body was awakened, and he circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra crazily, refining the phoenix¡¯s divine fire. The divinity contained in the phoenix¡¯s divine fire was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen had only refined the tip of the iceberg, but his aura had grown by leaps and bounds, reaching the edge of a breakthrough. However, because he had forcefully suppressed his cultivation last time, Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough this time was not as smooth as before. It was as if he had been shackled and could not break through no matter what. ¡°Kid, I told you that you didn¡¯t have the fortune to enjoy the phoenix blood essence. Now you¡¯re suffering, aren¡¯t you? As long as you give in, I can help you suck out the phoenix blood essence right now,¡± The big black pot snorted arrogantly, trying to make Qin Chen admit defeat. However, Qin Chen did not want to miss out on a divine item like the phoenix¡¯s divine blood. He took out the pill that Mo Yuan had given him from his storage ring and swallowed it without any hesitation. As the pill entered his stomach, Qin Chen¡¯s aura began to surge and surpass level nine of the Sage King realm. Following this, the sky was filled with dark clouds and mist, and the lightning was extremely terrifying. ¡°The Elder King is about to break through!¡± The big scorpion was shocked. Qin Chen had just broken through in the Demon Emperor Tomb not long ago. How long had it been? To think he was going to break through again, and it was a major realm breakthrough! ¡°Brat, you¡¯re being burned by the divine flame. How are you going to survive the Supreme Sage realm¡¯s heavenly tribulation?¡± The big black pot could tell Qin Chen¡¯s condition at a glance and couldn¡¯t help but snort. Just as the big black pot had said, Qin Chen¡¯s current condition was not good. His body was being burned by the divine fire. If the heavenly tribulation fell, he would be attacked from all sides, making it difficult for him to survive. ¡°Buzz~ Buzz!¡± Thunder roared and lightning flickered. A black thunder dragon suddenly attacked from the dark clouds. Lightning flashed in its mouth and the power of the heavenly tribulation was hidden in its body. Even though it had not descended yet, it gave people great pressure. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the rare black dragon heavenly tribulation among the Supreme Sage realm¡¯s heavenly tribulations?¡± The big scorpion cried out in shock. The black dragon heavenly tribulation was one of the scariest tribulations among the Supreme Sage realm¡¯s heavenly tribulations. It usually only appeared for some geniuses. Its power was extremely terrifying. Since ancient times, many geniuses had died due to the black dragon heavenly tribulation. With Qin Chen¡¯s current condition, his chances of survival were slim. The black dragon heavenly tribulation seemed to know that Qin Chen was weak at this time. It let out a furious roar and burst out with its strongest power. With lightning in its mouth, it came from the sky at Qin Chen. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen roared as his Chaotic Holy Body was awakened. He activated the rule of force and roared at the sky. Then, he leaped a few thousand meters and threw out a Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist at the black dragon. the terrifying force sent the black dragon flying while scattering the dark clouds in the sky. ¡°Gulp¡­ How can this brat¡¯s combat strength be so terrifying? Could he be the son of a great emperor?¡± The big black pot muttered, surprised by Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength. He had lived for countless years and had seen countless geniuses, but there were not many as terrifying as Qin Chen. ¡°Roar!¡± The black dragon roared again. The power of the heavenly tribulation was unleashed. The dragon turned into a black divine thunder and struck Qin Chen¡¯s head. ¡°Come!¡± Qin Chen was clad in a fiery robe, looking like a fire god. The Thirty-three Heavens guarded him, temporarily blocking the divine fire on his body. Then, he burst out with all his strength and jumped high up again, punching at the black thunder with all his might. The void shattered, and the great path buzzed. Before the black thunder could get close, it was shattered by Qin Chen. The black dragon heavenly tribulation that had killed countless geniuses was actually broken by Qin Chen just like that. The big black pot and the big scorpion were instantly stunned. Chapter 210 - 210 Tri 210 Tri-colored Heavenly Tribulation ¡°This is the black dragon heavenly tribulation! The Elder King¡¯s strength is too terrifying!¡± The big scorpion cried out in surprise and looked at the sky in disbelief. Once again, he was conquered by Qin Chen¡¯s invincible combat strength. He was secretly happy that he had chosen to follow Qin Chen after leaving the Demon Emperor Tomb. After all, if Qin Chen became stronger in the future, as his good friend, he would naturally obtain more benefits. The big black pot was also shocked. Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength was no different from when the great emperors back when they were young. If he was allowed to continue growing, he would probably become the next great emperor. The black clouds in the sky dispersed, and many rocks in the sea of fire had been shattered by the heavenly tribulation. The valley was badly damaged, and several mountains were shattered. The heaven and earth here were simply too sturdy. Even a terrifying heavenly tribulation like the black dragon heavenly tribulation could only destroy a few mountains. Qin Chen was somewhat curious as to why the heaven and earth of the forbidden grounds were so sturdy. Could it be that there were some special characteristics to their materials? At this moment, the sky became oppressive again. The dispersed heavenly tribulation gathered again. Not only that but there was an additional color in the tribulation clouds, turning them into two-colored tribulation clouds. ¡°Is this a two-colored heavenly tribulation? How is this possible? Isn¡¯t this the heavenly tribulation that one undergoes only when breaking through to the God realm? Isn¡¯t the Elder King only breaking through to the Supreme Sage realm?¡± The big scorpion cried out involuntarily, and his expression became very ugly. When a Supreme Sage broke through to the God realm, they would undergo a nine-colored heavenly tribulation. The tribulation clouds would at most have nine colors. The higher one¡¯s talent, the more colors one¡¯s tribulation clouds would have. Nine-colored tribulation clouds were thus the most powerful heavenly tribulation for a cultivator¡¯s breakthrough to the God realm. Although this was only a two-colored heavenly tribulation, it was a heavenly tribulation that could only be overcome when one broke through to the God realm. With Qin Chen¡¯s current cultivation and state, he was probably in a pinch. ¡°Buzz~ Buzz!¡± An explosion was heard as the two-colored heavenly thunder fell from the sky. The void was shattered wherever it passed and the entire valley was shaking. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen continued to use the Thirty-three Heavens to protect himself from being devoured by the phoenix blood essence. Then, he circulated the rule of force and performed the emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. He struck the two-colored heavenly tribulation with extreme power. However, this time, the two-colored tribulation did not shatter like the black dragon tribulation. Instead, it exploded with terrifying power and sent Qin Chen into the ground. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± Qin Chen coughed up blood. He did not expect the two-colored heavenly tribulation to be so terrifying. Even when he used all his strength, he still could not withstand it. ¡°Sigh! Although the two-colored heavenly tribulation is the weakest God-realm heavenly tribulation, it is still in the God realm. How can a puny Sage King like him resist it?¡± The big black pot sighed, feeling that Qin Chen was in deep trouble. ¡°Buzz!¡± The tribulation thunder rumbled, and another two-colored heavenly thunder fell. This time, it was even more powerful than the previous strike of thunder. Wherever it passed, the void was broken, and it had the power to destroy everything. ¡°Elder King!¡± The big scorpion shouted, looking very nervous. ¡°It¡¯s his bad luck and fate. He won¡¯t be able to block this two-colored heavenly thunder,¡± The big black pot also sighed, feeling a trace of regret. After all, there were not many geniuses like Qin Chen. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted. He did not give up. His Chaotic Holy Body burst forth, and thousands of buzzing sounds rang out. Then, he raised his hand and struck out a Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, clashing head-on with the two-colored heavenly thunder. Although Qin Chen had already used his trump card, it was still far from enough to block the two-colored heavenly thunder. His palm attack was shattered in an instant and the two-colored heavenly thunder struck Qin Chen. ¡°Pfft!¡± Qin Chen coughed out a large mouthful of blood. His Chaotic Holy Body began to crack. The terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation was eroding his internal organs and continuously devouring his life force, causing his aura to become increasingly weaker. ¡°Could it be that the Elder King really can¡¯t make it?¡± The big scorpion let out a cry of shock. His face was pale as he looked at the scene in disbelief. ¡°Nine-cycles Green Lotus! The first cycle!¡± Qin Chen let out a muffled groan, and a green lotus appeared beneath him. The green lotus spun, emitting holy light that wrapped around Qin Chen, releasing the might of the great path. ¡°This is!¡± The big black pot¡¯s eyes narrowed as it was shocked by the power. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. His soul was recovering, and in just a moment, his aura returned to its peak and even continued to rise. He actually broke through to the Supreme Sage realm in one go. ¡°Buzz!¡± Muffled thunder resounded, and the aura of the tribulation clouds soared once again. Another color actually appeared in the clouds, turning the heavenly tribulation into the terrifying tri-colored heavenly tribulations. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes were filled with shock as it exclaimed, ¡°Could it be that the heavens want the Elder King to die? To think the tribulation clouds turned into the tri-colored heavenly tribulation!¡± Qin Chen also frowned. He had only cultivated the first cycle of the Nine-cycles Green Lotus. If another tri-colored heavenly tribulation came, he would probably die here. ¡°Buzz! Buzz!¡± Lightning rumbled, and the tri-colored heavenly lightning was brewing in the thunderclouds. The terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation enveloped the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, making all the living beings in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest feel extremely uneasy. Outside, the eight-shedding divine silkworm and Feng Qingxue immediately noticed that something was wrong in the sky above the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. However, due to the restrictions of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, they could not see the tri-colored heavenly tribulation. They could only sense the terrifying aura fluctuations above the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the Phoenix¡¯s Nest? The Elder King and the others will be fine, right?¡± Feng Qingxue looked terrified and worried. A heavenly eye suddenly appeared on the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s forehead. The eye shot out a beam of holy light toward the sky above the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, trying to see through the restrictions and see what was above the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. The cry of a phoenix rang out, and the Phoenix¡¯s Nest emitted a golden light that blocked the heavenly eye¡¯s holy light. The eight-shedding divine silkworm suffered a backlash, and he tasted some blood in his throat. The eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. The power of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest¡¯s restriction was far beyond his imagination. There might be something incredible inside¡­ Thinking of this, he sighed, ¡°I hope that kid can come back alive.¡± ¡­ In the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, the big black pot and the big scorpion stared at the tri-colored heavenly tribulation. They did not dare to speak at the moment, but they were both secretly worried for Qin Chen. Looking at the tri-colored heavenly tribulation in the sky, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. His Supreme Sagely might burst forth as the Chaotic Holy Body awakened. Qin Chen took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and released the weapon¡¯s quasi-emperor might. He roared at the tri-colored heavenly tribulation, ¡°Come on!¡± The tri-colored heavenly tribulation seemed to have sensed Qin Chen¡¯s provocation. The power of the heavenly tribulation became even more terrifying. Thunder rumbled, and the tri-colored heavenly lightning flashed in the clouds, looking like it was about to fall. However, just as everyone was waiting for the tri-colored heavenly lightning to strike, the tri-colored tribulation cloud¡¯s aura suddenly weakened greatly. Then, it dissipated at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In the end, it disappeared into the sky as if it had never appeared. The big scorpion was dumbfounded. He looked around in disbelief. Then, he frowned and exclaimed, ¡°This¡­ Is it over? So this is the legendary tri-colored heavenly tribulation?¡± Chapter 211 - 211 Leaving the Phoenixs Nest 211 Leaving the Phoenix¡¯s Nest ¡°This guy is so lucky. Just when the tri-colored heavenly tribulation was ready to strike, he made the breakthrough to the Supreme Sage realm first, which caused the tribulation clouds to disperse and the tri-colored heavenly thunder to not fall,¡± The big black pot exclaimed, shocked by Qin Chen¡¯s good luck. After all, if the tri-colored thunder fell, even if Qin Chen had invincible combat power, his chances of survival would not be more than 10%. It could be said that he literally had a 90% chance of dying. Qin Chen was also secretly happy. He sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra to consolidate his realm. At this moment, the phoenix¡¯s blood essence attacked again. The divine fire engulfed Qin Chen, turning him into a man of flames again. ¡°Refine!¡± Qin Chen growled, and the Chaotic Imperial Scripture circulated faster, constantly devouring and refining the phoenix blood essence on his body. After 15 minutes, the phoenix blood essence was finally refined. His aura became increasingly terrifying, and the faint cry of a phoenix could be heard from his body. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re really lucky! To think you didn¡¯t die in the heavenly tribulation,¡± The big black pot teased. Qin Chen stood up and looked at the big black pot. However, when he saw that all the divine fire in the valley had disappeared, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared, ¡°Quickly hand over the rest of the phoenix blood essence. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± ¡°The phoenix blood essence has great karma. Refining one drop is already the limit of what you can bear. If you are greedy, you will be inviting disaster!¡± The big black pot said coldly. ¡°Lord pot, what about me? I don¡¯t want a drop and am just asking for half a drop. Even if it¡¯s just a little bit, I¡¯ll be satisfied. Lord pot, please do me a favor and give me a little bit of phoenix blood essence!¡± The big scorpion once again became humble. To get the phoenix blood essence, he actually knelt in front of this big black pot. Qin Chen could not stand it anymore. Since the big scorpion had followed him into this dangerous place, he naturally could not let the other party return empty-handed, ¡°Hurry up and give him a drop of phoenix blood. Otherwise, I will fight you to the death. I can¡¯t break you, but can¡¯t I seal you? If you don¡¯t give him the phoenix blood essence, I¡¯ll seal you in a latrine pit for ten thousand years!¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the big black pot frowned and gave him a deep look. It didn¡¯t think that Qin Chen was joking. Therefore, for the sake of the rest of its life, the big black pot handed over a drop of phoenix blood essence. The phoenix¡¯s blood essence floated in the air, and the big scorpion could not help but lick its lips. However, when it thought of the scene when Qin Chen had refined the blood essence, it immediately shrank back and frowned. ¡°How is he supposed to keep this phoenix blood essence?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°He can just suppress it in his Supreme Sage weapon,¡± the big black pot snorted, ¡°But with his talent, he can¡¯t absorb so much of it anyway.¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion took out his Supreme Sage weapon and split the phoenix¡¯s blood essence into two. After silently putting away half of it, he smiled at Qin Chen and said, ¡°Lord pot is right. My talent is average, so I can only refine half a drop of phoenix blood essence at most. You should keep the remaining half.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t feign modesty. He took out a Supreme Sage weapon and kept the other half a drop of the phoenix blood essence. After that, he explored the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest for a while, trying to find traces of the old lunatic. However, he returned empty-handed in the end. The old lunatic had obviously left long ago. The next day, Qin Chen was about to leave with the big scorpion. However, before they left the valley, the two discovered a huge golden tree. The tree was huge, an ancient parasol tree. However, the leaves of this parasol tree were golden, which made them very curious. ¡°There seem to be spatial fluctuations in this tree. It seems to be hiding a small world!¡± The big scorpion exclaimed in surprise. It looked at the tree with a burning gaze, thinking that it had found some treasure. At that moment, the big black pot suddenly spoke, ¡°Brat, I advise you not to provoke this tree. Don¡¯t forget, the phoenix tree is the resting place of the phoenix. You¡¯d better leave as soon as possible.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen felt for the first time that big black pot¡¯s words made sense. Thus, he did not dare to probe the ancient golden parasol tree any further. Instead, he directly led the big scorpion out of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest. Walking out of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest, Qin Chen immediately saw Feng Qingxue and the eight-shedding divine silkworm waiting outside. Seeing Qin Chen come out, Feng Qingxue hurried over and asked with concern, ¡°Elder King, are you all alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Qin Chen replied calmly. The eight-shedding divine silkworm looked at Qin Chen in shock and exclaimed in disbelief, ¡°You¡¯ve actually broken through to the Supreme Sage realm! Could it be that the fluctuations from the Phoenix¡¯s Nest yesterday were you undergoing your tribulation?¡± ¡°That¡¯s me,¡± Qin Chen nodded, not hiding his cultivation. The eight-shedding divine silkworm was shocked. It didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to break through to the Supreme Sage realm so quickly. It also didn¡¯t expect that Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough into the Supreme Sage realm would cause such a huge commotion. ¡°Boy, it seems that you have encountered good fortune in the Phoenix¡¯s Nest! You¡¯re such a lucky kid,¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm exclaimed. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re being too kind!¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands in response. He was still very humble and did not become arrogant just because he had broken through. Feng Qingxue, who was standing at the side, suddenly said, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ve already arranged for a banquet. Why don¡¯t you follow me back to the imperial palace?¡± ¡°Thank you, but I have to take my leave,¡± Qin Chen shook his head. After bidding farewell to the two, he left with the big scorpion. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s back, Feng Qingxue¡¯s eyes were slightly disappointed. After returning to the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen did not run around anymore. Instead, he sent a message to Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Following this, he went into seclusion in the great emperor¡¯s palace to prepare for the war between the two factions. On the eve of the war between the two factions, the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were restless, and many experts came out of seclusion. From time to time, Sagely might fluctuations could be felt. In the human camp, all the powerful unaffiliated cultivators had gathered at the Great Qin Dynasty and the Taiyi Holy Land. They wanted to fight against the ten thousand ancient races and help the human race. These unaffiliated cultivators were basically all Kings and Venerables. Although they weren¡¯t Sages, they were still a great help. In an instant, the Great Qin Dynasty and the Taiyi Holy Land became very lively. ¡°I am Venerable Shen Huo. I am here to help the Elder King!¡± ¡°I¡¯m Venerable Jian. I¡¯m here to help the Elder King! ¡± ¡°Northern Castle¡¯s Snow King is here to help the Elder King!¡± ¡°Southern Desolate Lands¡¯ War King is here to help the Elder King!¡± One by one, unaffiliated cultivators arrived at the Taiyi Holy Land. The holy land became very lively. Facing so many Venerables and Kings, the Taiyi Holy Land didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant and sent elders to welcome them. The cultivators had arrived in the Taiyi Holy Land for a while, but they had yet to see the Elder King. All of them looked disappointed, thinking that the Elder King had refused to show his face because he thought they were too weak to participate in the war between the two factions. A Venerable stood up and shouted, ¡°What does the Elder King mean? We¡¯re here to participate in the war. Is he going to ignore all of us just because our cultivation realms aren¡¯t high enough?¡± Chapter 212 - 212 The Eve of the Great War 212 The Eve of the Great War ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. If I had known that the Elder King would look down on us, I would have gone to the Great Qin Dynasty. If that¡¯s not possible, I could have gone to the Duanmu family!¡± ¡°Sigh, since the Elder King is looking down on us, we should leave. Perhaps we can head to another place.¡± ¡°Hmph! To think that I praised the Elder King so much! I didn¡¯t expect him to be such a person.¡± As soon as the Venerable said that, many people chimed in. Some even suggested leaving the Taiyi Holy Land and heading to another human faction. ¡°Everyone, please wait. The Elder King is still in seclusion. Please calm down. If you still have any questions, you can ask me,¡± Ling Ran walked over. She was bathing in purple holy light, and she looked like a fairy who had descended into the world. No one dared to violate her. ¡°Greetings, Holy Lord!¡± The elders of the Taiyi Holy Land bowed and revealed Ling Ran¡¯s identity. A Venerable walked out and cupped his hands at Ling Ran. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran, we¡¯ve been here for a long time, but the Elder King has been ignoring us, and the Taiyi Holy Land has not arranged any tasks for us tomorrow. We¡¯re all here to participate in the battle. It can¡¯t be that you want us to stay here and watch the show?¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. ¡°Yeah! We¡¯re here to fight the ten thousand ancient races, not to sit back and relax.¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races exterminated my family. I swear I¡¯ll not rest until I die tomorrow. Even if I die, I¡¯ll drag a few down with me.¡± ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran, we¡¯re not afraid of death. Even if you arrange for us to fight Sages, we won¡¯t even frown.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We want to fight. We¡¯re going to fight a bloody battle to the end!¡± ¡°¡­¡± As she listened to these people¡¯s words, Ling Ran felt a surge of emotions in her heart. She activated her Zixia Divine Body, and she looked like a celestial. The aura of a level 6 Venerable was unleashed, which calmed everyone down. ¡°I can understand your feelings,¡± She said in a deep voice, ¡°But the Elder King said that he is still studying the battle array. He needs you to wait for a moment.¡± ¡°Studying a battle array? Could it be that the Elder King wants us to cooperate in a battle array on such short notice?¡± One of the Kings asked. He felt that Ling Ran was just giving them an excuse. After all, it was not easy to cooperate in forming a battle array. No matter how easy the array was to understand, it would still take several months for all participants to be familiar with it. Therefore, Ling Ran¡¯s words were simply just an excuse. Ling Ran understood what this person meant. Although she did not dare to believe it either, the person who said this was the Elder King, so she had no choice but to. After all, he was the Elder King! ¡°Since the Elder King has said so, he will definitely be able to do it. Please believe in the Elder King and wait patiently for now,¡± Ling Ran replied softly, but her eyes were determined. Hearing this, everyone looked hesitant. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, in the end, they decided to believe the Elder King and continued to stay. Outside the great emperor¡¯s palace, a few stones floated in the air, forming a powerful battle array. A big black pot continued to perform divinity in the air, making the array simpler without decreasing its power. ¡°Big black pot, are you done? It¡¯s almost dawn,¡± Qin Chen growled. The big black wok shone with holy light, and the array patterns of the battle array kept changing, becoming increasingly simpler. However, the power of the battle array did not decrease at all, and it still exuded a very strong power. ¡°Why are you so anxious? This battle array was left behind by the Supreme Emperor Huang. Although it¡¯s not an Emperor array, it¡¯s not something that can be easily formed. Furthermore, I have to simplify it for you so that even Kings can easily master it. How can I do it in a short time? Instead of urging me, why don¡¯t you go and prepare the Divine Spirit Source that you promised me?¡± The big black pot grumbled and continued to focus on performing divinity, no longer paying attention to Qin Chen. At this moment, the big scorpion appeared in the air with a pair of storage rings in his hands. He smiled at Qin Chen and said excitedly, ¡°Elder King, I got this from Supreme Sage Qin Tian. There are a total of 100 million Divine Spirit Sources and many valuable spirit mines inside.¡± ¡°So many!¡± Qin Chen exclaimed. A few days ago, the big black pot suddenly mentioned that it knew a battle array that could allow five Sage Kings to join forces and display the combat power of a Supreme Sage. Moreover, it didn¡¯t require any practice and could be used straight away Hearing this, Qin Chen was naturally overjoyed. However, the big black pot had never been one to do things for free. It immediately asked for 100 million Divine Spirit Sources from Qin Chen. No matter how much Qin Chen bargained, it refused to back down. Although Qin Chen had checked in for so many years and was very rich, he did not have that many Divine Spirit Sources either. Thus, he could only ask the big scorpion to go to Supreme Sage Qin Tian for help. However, he did not expect that the Great Qin Dynasty could really take out so many Divine Spirit Sources. They were simply rich! ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian said that if you have any other needs, you can tell him. The entire human race will help you,¡± The big scorpion replied softly. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with warmth. Originally, he didn¡¯t have any sense of belonging to this world, but now, he gradually saw himself as a person of this world. Sometimes, he even doubted that his life on Earth was real. ¡°Haha, you guys are pretty fast. You¡¯ve collected 100 million Divine Spirit Sources in such a short time. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll give you the array!¡± The big black pot let out a soft breath, and the entire pot emitted holy light. The battle array was instantly formed. it looked simple and easy to understand. Even without getting used to it, it could still be used easily. ¡°So you were long done, and you¡¯re only giving it to me now?!¡± Qin Chen furrowed his brows. His expression was filled with anger. The big black pot felt a little embarrassed and coughed, ¡°Well you didn¡¯t give me the Divine Spirit Sources just now, so I naturally have to keep something up my sleeve. What if you go back on your words?¡± Qin Chen was speechless. The big black pot was really a ruffian. It was hard to imagine who it had gotten its personality from as Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s weapon. After throwing the Divine Spirit Sources to the big black pot, Qin Chen thus obtained the battle array he wanted. He asked the big scorpion to send it to the Great Qin Dynasty overnight, then took a step into the void and arrived outside the Taiyi Main Hall. ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± Hearing this, everyone in the Taiyi Main Hall put on solemn expressions. Without any hesitation, they stood up and bowed to Qin Chen as they said in unison, ¡°Greetings, Elder King.¡± Looking at the group of unaffiliated cultivators crowding the Taiyi Main Hall, Qin Chen was quite surprised. He did not expect that so many people would come. ¡°I¡¯ve made everyone wait for a long time. I believe Ling Ran has already told you the reason. Now that the array is complete, I¡¯ll teach it to you!¡± Qin Chen said and gathered a ball of golden light in his palm. Then, it turned into hundreds of golden lights and shot out in all directions. In an instant, everyone seemed to have learned something. They were shocked and exclaimed in surprise. ¡°To think a wondrous array exists in this world!¡± Someone exclaimed. Chapter 213 - 213 Camps 213 Camps As the golden light dissipated, everyone was shocked. They looked at Qin Chen in disbelief, their eyes full of admiration. ¡°Everyone, this array wasn¡¯t easy to come by. Although I¡¯ve taught it to all of you, I¡¯ve also placed a restriction on you. You can only use it yourselves and can¡¯t pass it on to others. If you forcefully try, you¡¯ll self-destruct and die,¡± Qin Chen snorted. After all, he had spent 100 million Divine Spirit Sources to get this array. He would not give it away for free. The crowd was not surprised by Qin Chen¡¯s actions. Instead, they understood him. If it were any other faction, they would not be able to produce such a wonderful array easily, let alone teach it to unaffiliated cultivators like them. ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t worry. Even if there¡¯s no restriction, we won¡¯t let the secret of the array leak.¡± ¡°Thank you, Elder King, for teaching us the array. We will definitely not leak it.¡± ¡°Hmph, the Elder King has so generously shared the array with us. If anyone dares to leak it, I¡¯ll be the first to kill him!¡± Everyone expressed their attitude one after another, all promising not to leak the array. At the same time, Supreme Sage Qin Tian received the array from the big scorpion. Seeing the great array, he laughed out loud, his laughter reverberating throughout the imperial city, causing everyone to look puzzled. Following that, tens of thousands of golden lights shot out from the depths of the palace, landing on all the cultivators in the King Realm and above. When everyone received the information, they were all shocked and revealed expressions of disbelief. Such an array was simply too terrifying. At this moment, the voice of Supreme Sage Qin Tian rang out from the depths of the palace, ¡°This array is called the Desolate Heaven Battle Array. You can only use it yourselves and can not pass it on to others. Otherwise, you will trigger the restrictions and die from self-destruction.¡± As he said that, Supreme Sage Qin Tian turned to look in the direction of the primordial sage race in the East Sea. He muttered to himself, ¡°The human race will definitely win tomorrow¡¯s battle.¡± ¡­ Compared to the human race, the primordial sage race was much calmer. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan had just come out of his seclusion. He took out a bronze mirror, which showed the jubilant scene of the Great Qin Dynasty. After seeing it, Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan could not help but frown and snorted, ¡°The ignorant are really fearless!¡± ¡°Elder Sheng Xuan, how many experts do we need to send out for tomorrow¡¯s battle?¡± A Sage King walked over and asked. Sheng Xuan looked at the scene in the bronze mirror and replied, ¡°Just Sheng Guang and Sheng Ming will do.¡± ¡°Do we need to ask the race leader?¡± The Sage King asked again. Sheng Xuan shook his head, ¡°The race leader is still sealing himself. If he is disturbed, his cultivation will probably drop. It¡¯s better not to disturb him.¡± ¡°Yes, elder!¡± The Sage King nodded and then left. The primordial sage race regained its peace. The next morning, as the sky began to turn bright, many fights broke out on the Canglan Continent. The ten thousand ancient races had attacked. They had sneaked attacks on many human cities, causing smoke to rise and the flames of war to fill the sky. The human race¡¯s response was also swift. The four great dynasties sent experts to reinforce the places under attack, giving the ten thousand ancient races a head-on blow. One of the top 100 ten thousand ancient races was even exterminated by a human Venerable. Although there were Sages within the ten thousand ancient races, according to the rules, Sages could only fight in space. Thus, the Sage could only watch helplessly as his race was exterminated. The first exchange only lasted for a few hours, ending with the ten thousand ancient races being defeated. With such a good start, the morale of the human race reached a boiling point. In the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ camp, the Supreme Sages from the primordial sage race, the giant race, the skyfall race, and the primordial phoenix race were all gathered. Three Supreme Sages from the primordial sage race were here, namely Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan, Supreme Sage Sheng Guang, and Supreme Sage Sheng Ming. The giant race also sent three Supreme Sages, namely Supreme Sage Man Niu, Supreme Sage Man Wang, and Supreme Sage Man Jin. There were only two from the skyfall race, named Supreme Sage Duo¡¯E and Supreme Sage Duo Ri. Three from the primordial phoenix race came. They were Supreme Sage Huang Dao, Supreme Sage Huang Tian, and Supreme Sage Huang Yue. Other than the 11 Supreme Sages, more than 100 Sage Kings and Sages were also gathered. They came from different races, and more than half of them were followers of the primordial sage race. ¡°Is the primordial dragon race really not coming? Just because of a patriarch?¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu snorted coldly and was filled with resentment. ¡°We agreed to fight the humans together,¡± Supreme Sage Due¡¯E said, ¡°But they¡¯re now being cowards. How detestable!¡± ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, without the support of the primordial dragon race, can we still win this battle?¡± Supreme Sage Huang Dao revealed a look of worry. He had received news that the demon god race would help the human race. If they really started a war, he could not see a clear outcome. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan snorted, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? We will definitely win this battle! As for the primordial dragon race, the primordial sage race will settle the score with them after the war.¡± Hearing this, everyone was relieved. After all, each of them knew that the primordial sage race was far stronger than what they had shown. Once they showed their might, the entire Canglan Continent would be unable to stop them. ¡­ The human race¡¯s base was a city in the central region of the Central Province. it was called Guanjun City and was the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s territory. Due to its unique location, it became the main camp of the human race. The nine Supreme Sages, 36 Sage Kings, and 57 Sages of the human race were all gathered here. They were ready to set off at any time to fight the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, when are we going to fight in the starry sky?¡± A Sage King asked, feeling a little impatient. Supreme Sage Qin Tian stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, ¡°If the enemy doesn¡¯t move, we won¡¯t move. Since the ten thousand ancient races haven¡¯t made any moves, let¡¯s not rush into battle. It¡¯s just as well that everyone can familiarize themselves with the Desolate Heaven Battle Array. This way, we¡¯ll be able to unleash our strongest battle strength. ¡°But the ten thousand ancient races have already launched an attack on our cities. They have many Venerable realm experts. If they attack again, we don¡¯t have that many Venerable realm experts. However, if we use the Desolate Heaven Battle Array straight away, they might be more prepared for the Sage realm battles in the starry sky,¡± Patriarch Jiu Long said, his eyes turning solemn. The Northern Castle had the most ten thousand ancient races. If they attacked, the Great Qian Dynasty would suffer a great blow. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just use it. Even if they are not prepared now, they will be in the future. We can¡¯t sacrifice tens of millions of lives,¡± Qin Chen walked over. Although this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, he could not just sacrifice the lives of a few cities, or even a dozen cities, to win a battle where victory was not guaranteed. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Supreme Sage Qin Tian expressed his agreement. Then, he said, ¡°As long as the ten thousand ancient races dare to attack us, we¡¯ll use the desolate heaven battle array to fight them back! We¡¯ll show them the power of the human race!¡± Chapter 214 - 214 Wangyue City 214 Wangyue City In the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ camp, because their first clash with the human race had ended in defeat, the morale of the ten thousand ancient races had been greatly reduced. Even the Sages didn¡¯t have much confidence in the war. ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, when will we start the holy war in the starry sky?¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu asked loudly. Beside him sat a one-armed Supreme Sage. It was the Supreme Sage whose arm had been cut off by Qin Chen¡¯s great path chair, Supreme Sage Man Wang. Sheng Xuan shook his head and thought about the scene he had seen of the humans cheering in the Great Qin¡¯s imperial city. He said in a deep voice, ¡°The human race might have something up their sleeves. Since our morale isn¡¯t high right now, don¡¯t start the holy war yet. Call the Kings and Venerables of the races over and have them attack the human cities with all their might. When the morale is restored, we will take down the human race in one fell swoop.¡± ¡°Yes, my lord!¡± Everyone replied. With that, a large group of experts from the ten thousand ancient races then gathered and prepared to attack the human race¡¯s cities. In the Northern Castle, a small city called Wangyue City near the Wind Imperial Dynasty was now surrounded by three ancient races and was in a desperate situation. ¡°City Lord, the ten thousand ancient races are coming in full force this time, but the human race experts haven¡¯t arrived yet. Once they attack, our city will definitely be destroyed and our people will die. There are still many civilians in the city who haven¡¯t evacuated. What should we do?¡± A general in armor revealed a troubled expression as he discussed with the Wangyue City¡¯s City Lord how to face the enemy. The Wangyue City¡¯s City Lord also frowned and fell into deep thought. He was very clear about the current situation, but there was no other way except to wait for reinforcements. Therefore, he let out a long sigh and said, ¡°We can only leave it to fate now.¡± The general¡¯s face darkened. This was obviously not the answer he wanted. After some hesitation, he spoke again, ¡°City Lord, why don¡¯t we ask the Wind Imperial Dynasty for help? Princess Qingxue loves her people, so she¡¯ll definitely help us.¡± ¡°Although the Wind Imperial Dynasty is backed by an ancient imperial clan, they don¡¯t have many strong cultivators to deploy. I¡¯m afraid they can¡¯t come to help. Besides, that ancient imperial clan is neutral, so they won¡¯t let the Wind Imperial Dynasty come to help either,¡± The City Lord shook his head and snorted. He had heard about the Wind Imperial Dynasty¡¯s situation before. it was almost impossible to count on them. The general was still unwilling to give up. He spoke again, ¡°City Lord, this concerns the lives of everyone in the city. Why don¡¯t we give it a try? What if the Wind Imperial Dynasty is willing to help?¡± After hesitating for a while, the City Lord finally agreed and sent a distress message to the Wind Imperial Dynasty. At this time in the Taiyi Holy Land, Ling Ran had already received the call for help from Wangyue City. She immediately gathered the inner sect disciples and prepared to head to Wangyue City. The entire Taiyi Holy Land bustled with activity. In a residence, one of Qin Chen¡¯s clones was cultivating. He was an incarnation of Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness. Although he did not need to cultivate, he still did so diligently every day to hide his identity from others. For this, he had been praised by many elders. ¡°Senior brother Qin Chen, a sect mission. we¡¯re going to support Wangyue City In Northern Castle,¡± An inner sect disciple ran in. Since Qin Chen had defeated the Holy Son candidates of the Taiyi Holy Land, there had been many rumors about him. Some even said that he was the disciple of the Elder King. Since then, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been particularly respectful to him. Some who had entered the sect earlier than him even began to call him senior brother. Qin Chen nodded and stopped cultivating. He followed the disciple to the teleportation array, attracting the attention of many disciples along the way. ¡°So he¡¯s the rumored disciple of the Elder King, the useless prince of the Great Qin Dynasty?¡± ¡°You still dare to call him a useless prince? Have you forgotten what happened to the other Holy Son candidates?¡± ¡°Rumor has it that he has already reached the Venerable realm. Is that true?¡± ¡°When I look at him, he seems to be only in the Sancai realm! It¡¯s a world of difference from the Venerable realm!¡± ¡°What do you know? Qin Chen is the Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. What¡¯s so strange about him having a technique or treasure to hide his cultivation realm? After all, he easily defeated those Holy Son candidates. Rather, it would be strange if he¡¯s only in the Sancai realm.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. He¡¯s definitely hiding his cultivation. It¡¯s possible that he¡¯s the Elder King¡¯s last disciple as the rumors say.¡± Listening to the group of people¡¯s discussion, Qin Chen was speechless. He didn¡¯t expect that the last time he was in the limelight, he had stirred up so many rumors. Fortunately, no one suspected that he was the Elder King. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. ¡°Qin Chen, I broke through to the Wuxing realm not long ago. I hope to have a spar with you!¡± Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s arrival, Xia Yang took a big step forward and stood beside him, ready to fight. ¡°I¡¯m here to participate in the mission,¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. He didn¡¯t want to be involved in any trouble anymore. Xia Yang wasn¡¯t angry. Although he had broken through to the Wuxing realm, he still wasn¡¯t confident that he could be Qin Chen¡¯s opponent. The reason why he challenged Qin Chen was that he wanted to know how far he was from the latter. ¡°I¡¯ll be taking part in the mission as well. I hope to see your true strength in this mission,¡± He said in a deep voice. Qin Chen revealed an unfathomable smile and no longer paid attention to him. He went straight to the square to gather and set off with the elder leading the team to Northern Castle¡¯s Wangyue City. However, just before they set off, Ling Ran¡¯s voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen¡¯s ears, ¡°If you¡¯re really the Elder King¡¯s disciple, don¡¯t embarrass him when you go out. If you¡¯re not, then clarify the rumors to everyone when you come back!¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen looked at Ling Ran, who was hiding in the void. A smile appeared on his face, and he disappeared from the void divine altar with the rest. As Ling Ran watched Qin Chen disappear, she walked out of the void. Qin Chen¡¯s smile appeared in her mind, and her gaze became puzzled. She was a Venerable realm cultivator, so how could Qin Chen have discovered her? Could it be that Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation was higher than hers? Was he really a disciple of the Elder King? However, even if Qin Chen was the disciple of the Elder King, he couldn¡¯t have possibly become a peerless Venerable from nothing in a hundred years. Moreover, she had the Zixia Divine Body. no one below the Sage realm should be able to discover her. Could it be that Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation had already reached the Sage realm? Ling Ran felt that Qin Chen was full of mysteries. She found it hard to believe that Qin Chen was actually so secretive. This feeling was the same as what she felt from the Elder King. She even had a bold guess in her mind, but she rejected it as soon as it appeared. After all, this guess was too shocking. ¡­ Northern Castle¡¯s Wangyue City was currently surrounded by three great ancient races, a dozen Venerables, and twenty Kings. As a city with only one King, it was like a fly to a lion. It wasn¡¯t even enough to fill a crack in their appetites. ¡°We¡¯ve already checked. There¡¯s only one human King in this city. we can attack the city without worry.,¡± A monkey-like venerable covered in long hair said with a smile. He was ready to attack Wangyue City. Chapter 215 - 215 Reinforcements Arrive 215 Reinforcements Arrive The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable cast a glance at Wangyue City and waved his hand at the army behind him. He then shouted, ¡°Everyone, heed my order! Attack the city with all your might!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, sounds of killing filled the air. Over a thousand ten thousand ancient races¡¯ soldiers charged toward Yinyue City with terrifying auras, causing the soldiers guarding the city to shrink back in fear. ¡°Soldiers, the reinforcements are already on their way. As long as we can hold on for a while, the human experts will arrive!¡± Yinyue City¡¯s general shouted as he immediately activated a defensive array, forming a spiritual energy barrier that covered the entire city and kept all the ten thousand ancient races outside. ¡°A mere venerable-grade array wants to stop us?¡± The Venerable from the giant tiger race snorted coldly and led a few other Venerables to attack together. They struck out with their strongest attack at the same time, tearing apart the defensive array and even killing half of the soldiers guarding the city. In an instant, blood flowed like a river as screams of pain rang out. On the Wind Imperial Dynasty¡¯s city wall, Feng Qingxue looked at Yinyue City which was under attack with an ugly expression. She said to the eight-shedding divine silkworm, ¡°Eight, can you really not save them?¡± ¡°The Primordial sage race¡¯s strength is unfathomable. In the entire Canglan Continent, I¡¯m afraid only the demon god race has the confidence to provoke them. The divine silkworm race has suffered a heavy blow, to begin with, and we don¡¯t have many clansmen who have sealed themselves. Now, we must not provoke the Primordial sage race,¡± The eight-shedding divine silkworm shook its head and explained its difficulties. If the divine silkworm race hadn¡¯t suffered such a heavy blow, it could still challenge the primordial sage race. But now, it didn¡¯t have the confidence to provoke the other party. Feng Qingxue¡¯s face turned even uglier when she heard the eight-shedding divine silkworm¡¯s words. Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn¡¯t. In Wangyue City, after the defensive array was broken, the three ancient races charged into the city. The City Lord died on the spot, and every second, more and more humans died. Blood dyed the city walls red, and the sky was dyed dark red by the blood energy. Screams echoed throughout the city. Soldiers bled as they persevered while civilians fought for their lives. At this moment, everyone was shrouded in despair. Many were praying in their hearts, hoping that someone would save them from this bloody city. At this moment, the sound of something whistling through the sky came from the distance. Three battleships were flying at full speed in the sky. The Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s reinforcements had finally arrived. ¡°Bastard! How dare you slaughter the humans!¡± ¡°Hmph, let me fight. I¡¯m going to kill all these beasts.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t the protective shield deactivated yet? I want to go to war, I want to fight!¡± ¡°Deactivate the protective shield!¡± The disciples shouted in anger. An elder waved his hand and removed the protective shield of the battleship. With that, hundreds of inner sect disciples rushed out and rushed toward Yinyue City at full speed. Qin Chen moved as well. He took a step forward and appeared in Yinyue City in an instant. Then, he used the Moon-gazing Palm, a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, killing more than a dozen from the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Is that his true strength?¡± Xia Yang exclaimed. Although he had already expected this, he still felt disappointed in himself after seeing it with his own eyes. ¡°Eh? To think the reinforcements from the human race have arrived so quickly!¡± The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable cried out in shock. He then wielded a huge saber as his supernormal knowledge was circulated in his palm. Following this, he attacked Qin Chen and the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare be so insolent!¡± The three Venerable realm elders from the Taiyi Holy Land made their move. Without any hesitation, they immediately used the Desolate Heaven Battle Array. Although it was only the three of them working together, the power they unleashed was comparable to that of a peak Venerable realm expert. With one move, they severely injured the giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable realm expert. ¡°What kind of array is this? To think it can make three level 3 Venerables unleash the battle power of a peak Venerable!¡± The white monkey race¡¯s Venerable cried out in surprise, shocked by the Desolate Heaven Battle Array that the opponents were using. ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!¡± Another Venerable from the giant tiger race shouted and quickly joined forces with a dozen other Venerables. They surrounded the three elders from the Taiyi Holy Land and attacked them. At this moment, 20 human Kings arrived. They also used the Desolate Heaven Battle Array and erupted with cultivation prowess close to level six Venerables. They were here to help the three elders of the Taiyi Holy Land. At the same time, many powerful human cultivators joined in the battle. Some Grandmasters joined forces to hold back the Kings of the three ancient races. Although they could not use the Desolate Heaven Battle Array, they only needed to hold their targets back for a while since the outcome of the battle between the Venerables would be decided soon. At that time, the human Venerable realm experts would be free to attack, and the three ancient races would lose without a doubt. ¡°Damn it, the human race has such a strange array. If you guys continue to hide your strength, we will lose this battle without a doubt,¡± The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable shouted. He then took out a Sage King weapon and charged at the three elders from the Taiyi Holy Land. Although the Sage King weapon was not fully activated, the power it erupted with was extremely shocking. With one blow, it sent the three elders of the Taiyi Holy Land flying, and even the Desolate Heaven Battle Array was almost broken. Following that, the Venerable of the white monkey race also took out a Sage weapon and charged at the human experts, beating the human Kings to the point where they couldn¡¯t even defend themselves. ¡°Damn it, we¡¯ve miscalculated. To think they have Sage King weapons and Sage weapons. Quickly send a message to the Great Qian Dynasty and request reinforcements!¡± The elder of the Taiyi Holy Land shouted and sent out a burst of spiritual power in the air, signaling for the nearby human experts to come and help. ¡°Hmph, three mere Venerables dare to oppose us. Die!¡± The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable let out an angry roar as he activated the Sage King weapon once more, sending it crashing down on the three elders from the Taiyi Holy Land. The terrifying might caused the ground to sink in. ¡°Hmph, you can¡¯t even use ten percent of the Sage King weapon¡¯s power, yet you dare to be so arrogant!¡± A cold snort rang out, and everyone paused. All of them turned around only to see a middle-aged man on the city wall. When they found out that the middle-aged man was only in the Sancai realms, all of them revealed disdainful expressions. ¡°Human ant, how dare you act so pretentiously,¡± The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable snorted coldly and struck out with his palm. Then, without looking back, he continued to suppress the three elders from the Taiyi Holy Land. However, before he could even make a move, he discovered that everyone had a look of fear on their faces. Turning around, he discovered a giant palm of spiritual energy striking him with terrifying pressure. The giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable hurriedly tried to block it, but in the end, he was still no match for it and was sent flying. If not for the Sage King weapon protecting him, he would have died on the spot. Qin Chen could not help but shake his head and sigh when he saw the giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable blocking his attack. He sighed, ¡°Oh my, I didn¡¯t use enough strength. Otherwise, I would have killed him.¡± Hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. After seeing Qin Chen¡¯s attack, the rumors in their hearts were completely confirmed. Everyone was now certain that Qin Chen was the last disciple of the Elder King. The giant tiger race Venerable¡¯s expression changed as he hollered, ¡°Who are you?¡± Chapter 216 - 216 The Elder Kings Disciple 216 The Elder King¡¯s Disciple The Venerables of the three ancient races stopped and stared at Qin Chen. Their instincts told them that this human¡¯s strength was extraordinary. ¡°Who am I? Hmph, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s going to take your life,¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly, exuding the aura of a Venerable realm expert. He once again struck out with a heaven-grade supernormal knowledge, the Moon-gazing Palm. This palm was even more terrifying than the sage-grade supernormal knowledge, killing the giant tiger race¡¯s Venerable realm expert on the spot and taking away the giant tiger race¡¯s Sage King weapon. Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Even the three elders of the Taiyi Holy Land did not expect Qin Chen¡¯s strength to be so terrifying. ¡°Damn it, return my race¡¯s Sage King weapon!¡± The other giant tiger race¡¯s venerable shouted. Sage King weapons were the reserves of a race and could not be lost. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation method and began to summon the Sage King weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. The Sage King weapon emitted its Sagely might as it tried to fly out of Qin Chen¡¯s hand. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. To not expose his identity, he did not use his power to suppress it. Instead, he took out another Sage King weapon and froze the other weapon in the air, then forcefully cut off the connection between the giant tiger race and the weapon. ¡°Bastard, how dare you?!¡± The Venerable of the giant tiger race was infuriated. He burst forth with all his might and charged at Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen simply killed the other giant tiger race venerable with just a swing of the Sage King weapon. Seeing this, the other Venerables of the ten thousand ancient races all gulped. Knowing that they were no match for the enemy, they hurriedly ordered their people to retreat. ¡°You want to run? No way!¡± The three elders of the Taiyi Holy Land shouted at the same time and joined forces again. They stopped a few ten thousand ancient races¡¯ Venerables and were prepared to kill them one by one. At this moment, Qin Chen also moved. He threw out the Sage King weapon, killing the Kings and Venerables of the three great ancient races. As for the ants below the King realm, he did not kill them all. ¡°Damn it, who are you? At least let me die knowing why!¡± The Venerable of the white monkey race shouted and gave up on resisting. He only wanted to know who Qin Chen was. Qin Chen touched his chin and hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m the Elder King¡¯s disciple, Qin Chen!¡± Hearing this, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were all excited. They cheered, ¡°I knew it! I knew it! Only the disciple of the Elder King can have such talent and terrifying combat strength.¡± ¡°As expected of the Elder King¡¯s disciple. His combat strength is indeed terrifying.¡± ¡°The Elder King is a monster with unrivaled combat power in the human race. How can his disciple be weak?¡± The ten thousand ancient races were deathly silent, all extremely depressed. It was one thing for the human race¡¯s Elder King to be so abnormal, but to think his disciple was also so extraordinary. How were they supposed to live? Seeing everyone¡¯s reaction, Qin Chen¡¯s face was calm. He said this to better hide his identity. This way, no one would suspect that he was the Elder King, and his clone could help the human race. The Venerables of the three great ancient races did not give up and tried to escape in all directions. However, under Qin Chen¡¯s might, seven Venerables and a dozen Kings were killed by him in less than an hour. The three great ancient races had also completely retreated. ¡°We won! Hahahaha! We¡¯ve won!¡± ¡°We won! The ten thousand ancient races aren¡¯t invincible!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve won, we¡¯ve finally won! We don¡¯t need to die!¡± ¡°Mother, we¡¯ve won. Your son will definitely avenge you. I¡¯m going to war. I¡¯m going to kill those b*stards! ¡± The civilians howled, and Yinyue City was filled with shouts. Many hugged their loved ones and cried, and there were also injured soldiers waving the human race¡¯s war flag! Looking at the river of blood flowing in Yinyue City, Qin Chen was quite touched. The cruelty of war was beyond his understanding. Looking at the cries of those who had lost their loved ones, he felt a little guilty and hated himself for not arriving earlier. The main body of Qin Chen, who was in the base camp of the human race, seemed to have seen the situation with his own eyes. His expression turned dark, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. After that, Qin Chen called the people in charge of the major forces over and told them about the battle situation in Yinyue City. After everyone learned about the battle there, their expressions all became gloomy. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that they would have Sage King weapons! That¡¯s simply cheating!¡± Patriarch Qing Long roared in anger. After all, the power of Sage King weapons was not something that anyone below the Sage realm could withstand. The schemes of the ten thousand ancient races had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s eyes darkened and he frowned, ¡°Sage weapons and Sage King weapons of the human race are rare, to begin with. We simply can¡¯t compete with the ten thousand ancient races in that aspect. If they were to take their Sage King weapons to battle, we might not be able to win even with the Desolate Heaven Battle Array.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a Sage ran in hurriedly and reported to everyone with an unsightly expression, ¡°Milords, just a moment ago, seven cities of the human race were massacred, and the experts that went to reinforce them were also killed. According to the news that came back, all the Venerables of the ten thousand ancient races have Sage King weapons. The experts that we sent out were no match for them at all, and almost all of them died. Only a few Venerables managed to escape.¡± Everyone¡¯s mood became even gloomier when they heard this. Although the Desolate Heaven Battle Array could allow five Venerables to unleash the battle power of a Sage, there were not that many Venerables in the human race. As a result, each rescue team could only send three Venerables. They had thought that they would be able to fight against the ten thousand ancient races, but they had never expected that the ten thousand ancient races would have so many Sage King weapons, destroying seven rescue teams and seven cities. ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian, we don¡¯t have an advantage on the battlefield in the Canglan Continent. if this continues, the human race will suffer heavy casualties! Why don¡¯t we start the holy war in the starry sky and the ten thousand ancient races?¡± Patriarch Jiu Long snorted, his eyes filled with killing intent. Without waiting for Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s reply, Qin Chen, who was at the side, took the lead and said, ¡°Everyone, please calm down. I have quite a few Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage weapons with me. Why don¡¯t we distribute them? We¡¯ll definitely be able to turn the tide of the battle.¡± ¡°Elder King, almost all of the ten thousand ancient races have Sage King weapons. Could it be that you have more than them?¡± Patriarch Qing Long was confused, thinking that Qin Chen was exaggerating. Qin Chen didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he took out a few storage rings. White light burst out from them as hundreds of weapons flew out. The lowest grade among them was at the Sage grade, and there were more than twenty Supreme Sage weapons. All exploded with terrifying Sagely might, stunning everyone present. Patriarch Qing Long gulped as his previous doubts were disproved by Qin Chen. He asked Qin Chen in disbelief, ¡°Gulp! No way! How do you have so many Sage weapons, Sage King weapons, and Supreme Sage weapons?¡± Qin Chen revealed a smile and spread out his hands, ¡°I either picked them up, refined them, or looted them.¡± Chapter 217 - 217 Great Victory 217 Great Victory ¡°You picked them up? Refined them? Looted them?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Qin Chen¡¯s words. But when they saw Qin Chen take out so many divine weapons, they were so shocked that their jaws were hanging. Qin Chen smiled calmly. Most of these weapons were obtained from checking in or snatched from the hands of the ten thousand ancient races. He had planned to lend them to the human experts but had forgotten about it. Thus, he only took them out now. ¡°Elder King, are you really going to give us these weapons?¡± Patriarch Qing Long asked. He couldn¡¯t believe that Qin Chen would be so generous. After all, these things were enough to build the strongest force of the human race. ¡°I¡¯ve already placed restrictions on these weapons. You can use them, but you must return them after the war,¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. Naturally, he would not give these things to the crowd for free. He would not do such a disadvantageous deal. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone was disappointed, but they still expressed their understanding. After all, these Sage weapons were treasures that were worthy to be an entire race¡¯s reserves. Rather, it would be unbelievable if these weapons were given to them for free. ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t worry. after the battle is over, we will return them,¡± Everyone nodded in agreement to Qin Chen¡¯s request, then distributed the holy weapons to each rescue team. A week had passed, and the war between the two races was still ongoing. In the beginning, the two factions had been fighting back and forth, each having victories and defeats. However, after Qin Chen took out the holy weapons, the human race¡¯s strength soared, and they directly annihilated more than ten ancient races, causing the momentum of the ten thousand ancient races to be suppressed to the extreme. In the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ camp. ¡°The human race is just too strong. Every time, they¡¯re able to defeat the many with their small numbers. With that strange array, Supreme Sage weapons, and Sage King weapons, we¡¯re no match for them at all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s nothing. Qin Chen, the disciple of the human Elder King, is even more terrifying. Almost half of my race died at his hands. If not for our speed in escaping, we would have been exterminated.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the girl with the Zixia Divine Body from the human race¡¯s Taiyi Holy Land. That physique is also invincible. The girl can kill enemies several realms higher than herself. We simply can¡¯t stop her.¡± ¡°The human race is so strong. In just seven days, they¡¯ve destroyed more than a dozen ancient races. Can we still win this battle?¡± ¡°There are simply too many human experts. It¡¯ll probably be quite difficult for the ten thousand ancient races to win this battle! ¡± ¡°¡­¡± Doubts filled the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ base, causing the Sage realm experts of the ten thousand ancient races to frown and their morale to drop to the lowest point. ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, we can¡¯t let this go on. We have to start a holy war in the starry sky,¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu bellowed. The ancient races¡¯ recent defeats had left him in a state of turmoil. He wanted nothing more than to go straight to the human camp and kill to his heart¡¯s content. Supreme Sage Huang Dao frowned as well and said, ¡°The Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage weapons that the Elder King robbed earlier have now played an absolute role. We shouldn¡¯t have let him have his way back then.¡± When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with regret. Back then when Qin Chen had robbed more than 20 ancient races, they had not done anything because they wanted to weaken those races. But now, it seemed like they had shot themselves in the foot. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan was also somewhat regretful. Back then, he had just been revived and his cultivation had not yet been stabilized. Thus, he had let the human race¡¯s Elder King off in the end when faced with a human Supreme Sage. However, now that he saw the ten thousand ancient races being defeated, again and again, he deeply regretted letting the human race¡¯s Elder King off. ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, we can only turn the tide by starting the holy war in the starry sky.¡± ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, please start the war in the starry sky. The ten thousand ancient races can¡¯t afford to lose again.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s persuasion, Sheng Xuan¡¯s eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Tell the humans that we will have a holy war in the starry sky tomorrow morning!¡± With that, Supreme Sage Man Niu stepped out and appeared in the sky above the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ camp. He shouted in the direction of the human race, ¡°Tomorrow morning, the holy war will take place in the starry sky! His voice was laced with Sagely might, so everyone on the Canglan Continent could hear it. The commotion was huge. At this time, a word of reply came from the base of the human race. ¡°Fight!¡± The Canglan Continent became very lively. All the creatures were alert and were all looking forward to the holy war in the starry sky tomorrow. In Western Heaven, Prince Zhan lay on a cloud and snorted, ¡°It¡¯s finally starting. Will the primordial sage race use all their strength? ¡± In the Northern Castle, the eight-shedding divine silkworm also revealed a mature look and said in a deep voice, ¡°The human race has been reproducing for so many years. I wonder if they can survive this.¡± In a secret place in the depths of the Southern Desolate Lands, Supreme Sage Wu Tian used a secret technique to see through heaven¡¯s secrets. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and looked shocked as he exclaimed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this to be the result!¡± All the experts in the Canglan Continent were watching the battle. Each had their own thoughts, but no one knew who would win. At the base of the human race, the base camp became extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone was preparing for the holy war tomorrow. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere was particularly depressing. Qin Chen was also cultivating in his residence. He was also a little nervous. He had been developing in hiding on the Canglan Continent for so many years, but he was still not confident about the battle tomorrow. That being said, now that he had broken through to the Supreme Sage realm, his strength had increased by a large margin again. Even if he couldn¡¯t defeat them tomorrow, he still had a trump card to protect himself. If he failed, he could just find a new place to develop himself secretly for a few hundred years. At that time, would he need to be afraid of a mere primordial sage race? ¡°Elder King!¡± Ling Ran¡¯s voice was suddenly heard from outside the door. ¡°Come in!¡± Qin Chen said softly. When he saw Ling Ran walk in, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Ran looked deeply at Qin Chen, holy light flashing in her eyes. She wanted to see through the power of the great path on Qin Chen¡¯s body, but Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body was instantly triggered. Ling Ran thus suffered a backlash and coughed out a large mouthful of blood. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Qin Chen had a puzzled look on his face. He did not understand what Ling Ran was trying to do. Ling Ran wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her pale and pretty face made her look like a sick beauty. She said softly, ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re about to set off. I¡¯d just like to ask you, were you the one who gave me the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra?¡± Qin Chen furrowed his eyebrows. He did not understand what was going on with Ling Ran. Why would she suddenly ask him this question? ¡°So what if I was the one? So what if I¡¯m not? Is this important?¡± ¡°It¡¯s essential to me!¡± Ling Ran fixed her gaze on Qin Chen. her expression was very serious, and her gaze was complicated. No one could tell what she was thinking. Qin Chen was very puzzled. He did not know why Ling Ran would suddenly ask this question. There was a hesitant look in his eyes. He did not know whether he should tell the truth or not. After all, he had never thought of making her repay the favor. Chapter 218 - 218 The Holy War 1 218 The Holy War 1 ¡°Elder King, I hope you can tell me the truth,¡± Ling Ran looked at Qin Chen with a deep gaze, and Qin Chen no longer had the face to lie. He snorted, ¡°That¡¯s right, I was the one who gave you the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra.¡± ¡°I knew it!¡± A smile appeared on Ling Ran¡¯s pale face, and she was overjoyed. Qin Chen had never seen her so happy before. ¡°Now that you know, do you have any other questions?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°You must come back alive!¡± Ling Ran simply smiled and said softly. After saying this, Ling Ran immediately left, leaving behind a dumbfounded Qin Chen. What did this girl mean? Was she concerned about him or was she thanking him? Qin Chen¡¯s head was filled with question marks because of Ling Ran. He really did not understand Ling Ran¡¯s purpose. Since he couldn¡¯t figure it out, Qin Chen didn¡¯t think too much about it. After all, tomorrow¡¯s holy war in the starry sky was the most important thing. The holy war was near, and the human race and the ten thousand ancient races had a torturous night. Almost no one slept, as they were all worried about the holy war tomorrow. After all, this battle would determine the future of the two factions. The next day, although something big was about to happen, it didn¡¯t deter the sun from rising. The sky had just brightened when the ten thousand ancient races released their terrifying Sagely might. Their Sage realm experts stepped into the starry sky and released their Sagely might, shattering the stars within ten thousand miles. Over a hundred Sages stood in the starry sky, representing the peak combat strength of the ten thousand ancient races. Their terrifying auras enveloped the Emperor Star, attracting the attention of everyone on the Canglan Continent. ¡°Hmph, the ten thousand ancient races have over a hundred Sage realm experts. How can the human race fight us? The day the holy war ends will be the day the human race is exterminated.¡± ¡°The humans can only be arrogant in the King¡¯s realm and Venerable realm. In the battle between the true experts, they will definitely lose! ¡°The human race has been too arrogant these days. It¡¯s time to teach them a lesson.¡± ¡°The holy war in the starry sky has already begun. The human race is about to come to an end, and the ten thousand ancient races will return to the peak.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The people of the ten thousand ancient races were clamoring. Seeing such a powerful lineup gave them great confidence. Some even declared that they would annihilate the human race. At this moment, the human camp also released a monstrous Sagely might. One human Sage after another appeared in the starry sky, and there were actually also 100 Sages. When those of the ten thousand ancient races saw this, all of them shut their mouths and their expressions became extremely ugly. ¡°Hahahaha! Why did the ten thousand ancient races stop clamoring? Aren¡¯t you going to exterminate the human race?¡± ¡°Hmph, the human race is no longer the same one from the primordial era. If you want to exterminate the human race, you¡¯re simply dreaming.¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s the holy war in the starry sky? The human race¡¯s experts are fearless and will fight to the end.¡± ¡°The human race is destined to prosper. No race can change that, not even the ten thousand ancient races.¡± ¡°¡­¡± with the appearance of the human race Sages, the humans were filled with confidence and retorted back at the ten thousand ancient races that had spoken. In the starry sky were hundreds of Sages from both factions. To not affect the Emperor Star, both sides tacitly moved the battlefield to the depths of the starry sky. This way, they could unleash their full power without any worries. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan looked at the human camp and his eyes darkened. He had never thought that the human race would have grown to such an extent that they could actually compete with the ten thousand ancient races. However, the difference between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races was still very obvious. Whether it was Sages, Sage Kings, or Supreme Sages, the human race had fewer people than the ten thousand ancient races. One should know that this was only a part of the ten thousand ancient races. From the looks of it, the human race was still far inferior to the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Humans, after this battle, you will all be exterminated!¡± Sheng Xuan snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his Sagely might enveloped the starry sky. Supreme Sage Qin Tian brandished the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and said, ¡°A bloody battle to the end!¡± ¡°Human Elder King, you cut off my arm. It¡¯s time to settle the score!¡± Supreme Sage Man Wang roared in anger as he summoned a Supreme Sage weapon with one hand and charged toward Qin Chen. ¡°Good! I¡¯ll take your life!¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly without any fear. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd and attacked Supreme Sage Man Wang without any restraint. The terrifying aura shocked all the ten thousand ancient races as they exclaimed in their hearts, ¡°The human Elder King has broken through to the Supreme Sage realm!¡± Supreme Sage Man Wang¡¯s eyelids twitched. The talent of the human Elder King terrified him, so he used all his strength to launch great attacks one after another. ¡°Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, the rule of force, Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist!¡± Qin Chen harumphed as he activated two emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and power of rules at the same time. The terrifying power shocked everyone from the ten thousand ancient races. Supreme Sage Man Wang was even more terrified as he hurriedly activated his Supreme Sage weapon to block the coming attack. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen roared as he awakened his Chaotic Holy Body. 108 streams of dragon qi suppressed Supreme Sage Man Wang¡¯s Supreme Sage weapon. He then punched out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, which contained the rule of force, directly shattering half of Supreme Sage Man Wang¡¯s body. For a moment, blood splattered across the starry sky, giving the ten thousand ancient races a huge sense of threat. ¡°Elder King! Elder King!¡± The human camp chanted in support of the Elder King, their morale even surpassing that of the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Bastard, you dare to hurt my brother!¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu roared as he activated his Supreme Sage weapon and charged forward. When the human camp saw this, Patriarch Jiu Long and the others also wanted to help Qin Chen, but they were stopped by him, who indicated that he alone was enough. Chapter 219 - 219 The Holy War 2 219 The Holy War 2 ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m not that trash Peng Kong. I¡¯d like to see just how powerful you are!¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu snorted coldly. He held a long axe, a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon. His aura as a level 7 Supreme Sage was released, making everyone in the human race nervous for Qin Chen. Seeing this, Qin Chen was fearless. He brandished the Desolate Divine Halberd and activated its quasi-emperor divine might. In terms of aura alone, he had already suppressed Man Niu, causing the latter¡¯s expression to turn ugly. ¡°Hmph, so what if it¡¯s a quasi-emperor-grade weapon? I¡¯ll still kill you!¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu roared and his Sagely might exploded. His aura became increasingly terrifying as his body grew to the size of a giant that was more than a million feet tall. The giant axe in his hand grew in size as well. With a primordial emperor¡¯s supernormal knowledge, he slashed at Qin Chen. ¡°You¡¯re not powerful just because you¡¯re big,¡± Qin Chen snorted and activated the rule of power. His Chaotic Holy Body was fully activated and the great path around him buzzed. A heavenly emperor-level supernormal knowledge was cast in Qin Chen¡¯s palm. Its power was no weaker than that of Supreme Sage Man Niu. ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± He struck out with his palm and the power was monstrous. It collided with Supreme Sage Man Niu¡¯s battle-ax and created a terrifying aftershock. Everyone¡¯s expression changed as they used their Sage might to block it. ¡°Human Elder King! Die!¡± Supreme Sage Man Wang let out an angry roar and dragged the remaining half of his body as he charged toward Qin Chen. ¡°Damn it, to think he launched a sneak attack!¡± Patriarch Jiu Long shouted coldly and activated his extreme emperor weapon, prepared to kill Supreme Sage Man Wang. However, just as he was about to attack, Supreme Sage Huang Dao took out a primordial emperor weapon and confronted him, preventing him from helping. Supreme Sage Qin Tian, the eldest Princess, and the others were in the same situation. They were all stopped by Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan and the others and could not go to help. They could only watch as Supreme Sage Man Wang attacked Qin Chen. With a ¡°pa¡±, Supreme Sage Man Wang smashed Qin Chen¡¯s chest with a punch. The Sagely might exploded in Qin Chen¡¯s body, grinding away his life force. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen coughed out a large mouthful of blood, then exploded with power again. He grabbed the palm that had pierced through his chest, then circulated the rule of force, slapping it on Supreme Sage Man Wang¡¯s head. With that, Supreme Sage Man Wang exploded into a mist of blood on the spot. A Supreme Sage of a generation had died just like that. ¡°Brother!¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu roared in exasperation. He sent Qin Chen flying with a kick, adding to his injuries as his life force rapidly depleted. ¡°You killed my brother! I want you to die!¡± Supreme Sage Man Niu roared in anger and swung his giant axe at the heavily injured Qin Chen, trying to take his life. ¡°Demonize!¡± Qin Chen let out a muffled groan. His skin instantly turned black, and his pupils turned blood red. His eyes were wide open with anger, which made him look very terrifying, like a demon that had crawled out of hell. With Demonization, Qin Chen¡¯s physical strength increased by ten times. Added to the rule of force, Qin Chen¡¯s physical body was infinitely close to that of a God. He caught the axe that was tens of thousands of times larger than his body with one hand and struck out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. The starry sky was thus shattered and Supreme Sage Man Niu¡¯s ten-thousand-foot body was turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood. ¡°Pfft!¡± Qin Chen coughed out a mouthful of blood. A green lotus suddenly appeared under his feet as his injuries rapidly recovered. In less than half an hour, his aura had returned to its peak, shocking all the ten thousand ancient races. The war had only just begun, but the ten thousand ancient races had already lost two Supreme Sages. What was even more terrifying was that the sacrifice of these two Supreme Sages was meaningless, as the human race¡¯s Elder King had not suffered a single loss. In contrast, the human race, including those who had just broken through to the Supreme Sage realm, had 10 Supreme Sages left. They also had seven extreme emperor weapons. In terms of top combat power, the human race had already surpassed the ten thousand ancient races. At this moment, the morale of the ten thousand ancient races had been greatly reduced, and some Sages and Sage Kings were already showing fear. If they were to fight now, their battle-power would definitely be greatly reduced and they would not be able to defeat the enemy race either. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan frowned as well. The strength of the human race and the human Elder King had far exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that the human Elder King, who had just broken through to the Supreme Sage realm, could kill two Supreme Sages of the giant race without expending any energy! Supreme Sage Qin Tian knew that the morale of the human race was at an all-time high. This was the best time to defeat the ten thousand ancient races in one fell swoop. Therefore, he shouted, ¡°Kill!¡± As he gave the order, Qin Tian activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and charged out. He joined forces with the other human Supreme Sage and started to fight Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. At the same time, Patriarch Jiu Long, Patriarch Qing Long, the eldest Princess, Sword God Dugu, Sage Dujie, Patriarch Kuang Ren, the big scorpion, and Qin Chen all attacked. They each fought with a Supreme Sage of the ten thousand ancient races. Since the Supreme Sages had made their moves, the others naturally did not stay idle. Everyone rushed toward each other, and the chaotic battle began. Everyone was a Sage and Sage blood was spilling every moment. Even across the endless starry sky, everyone on the Canglan Continent could feel the horror of the battle. ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King is invincible! He has already killed two of your Supreme Sages. The human race will definitely win this battle!¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s peak combat power has already surpassed you. How are the lot of you going to fight? ¡± ¡°With the Elder King and the Supreme Sages of the human race here, the human race will definitely win this battle. Just wait for your extinction!¡± On the Canglan Continent, the experts of the ten thousand ancient races were furious when they heard the humans¡¯ words. However, they were helpless. After all, the human race¡¯s Elder King¡¯s combat power was simply too terrifying. Even so, the ten thousand ancient races still refused to admit defeat. An expert angrily shouted, ¡°Hmph! You don¡¯t know how terrifying the primordial sage race is. With Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan here, the ten thousand ancient races will definitely win this battle!¡± A Venerable of the human race responded strongly, ¡°So what if it¡¯s the primordial sage race? Wasn¡¯t it still beaten up by the God of the human race? If you¡¯re not convinced, you can start another war on the Canglan Continent! I¡¯m afraid that most of your Kings and Venerables are dead and you don¡¯t have the guts to start another war!¡± ¡°How arrogant! It¡¯s just a war, what do we have to fear? Let¡¯s start a war!¡± ¡°Hmph, the Sage weapons of your human race have all gone to the starry sky. What confidence do you have to fight? If we start a war, all of you will die without a doubt.¡± ¡°The ten thousand ancient races have many experts, and you dare to be so arrogant? Since you want to start a war, then we shall!¡± ¡°Human, don¡¯t be so arrogant. Before the holy war ends, we can exterminate your entire race!¡± The ten thousand ancient races were all enraged by the human Venerable¡¯s words and started shouting for war. Some races even took advantage of the chaos to launch sneak attacks on human cities and declare war on the human race! The entire Canglan Continent was in chaos once again. Wars broke out everywhere. Without the support of Sage weapons, the human race didn¡¯t have much of an advantage against the ten thousand ancient races. Both sides had the possibility of winning, and many experts died. In the depths of the starry sky, the holy war had also entered a chaotic state. Although the human race did not have the advantage in numbers, with the Desolate Heaven Battle Array¡¯s support, the human race actually had the upper hand, constantly suppressing the ten thousand ancient races. However, at this moment, Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan burst out with a terrifying aura. It turned out he had already surpassed the Supreme Sage realm and reached the God realm. He had been hiding his cultivation all this time and now, he suddenly unleashed his full strength. With a shocking attack, he sent Supreme Sage Qin Tian and another human Supreme Sage flying. The power of this strike was extremely terrifying. It cracked the body of the human Supreme Sage, and his blood splattered across the starry sky. He died on the spot, making all the humans feel grief and indignation. Supreme Sage Qin Tian was also severely injured. However, he was fortunate to have the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword to protect him. That was why he was not killed on the spot. Even so, he had lost more than half of his combat power. ¡°You¡¯ve been hiding your strength all this time!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian cried out in shock. His eyes were filled with despair. Right now, the human race had lost a Supreme Sage and he was heavily injured. What was even more frightening was that Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan of the primordial sage race was actually a God realm expert. If this battle continued, the human race would lose without a doubt. If they were to lose, the human race on the Emperor star would be exterminated. Everyone in the human race would die a tragic death under the butcher¡¯s knife. At the thought of this, the expression on Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s face turned extremely ugly. Even though he had once followed a great emperor, he felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment. He threw his head back and roared, ¡°Could it be that the heavens want the human race to die?¡± Chapter 220 - 220 Supreme Sage Huang Dao 220 Supreme Sage Huang Dao Sheng Xuan had concealed his cultivation, thus successfully killing a human Supreme Sage, and severely injuring Supreme Sage Qin Tian. He instantly changed the tide of the battle, causing the entire human race to fall into despair. ¡°To think Sheng Xuan has God realm cultivation, how are we going to fight? Do the heavens want the human race to die?¡± ¡°What do we do? What to do? Is the human race going to be destroyed in our hands?¡± ¡°Where is the God realm expert of the human race? Why isn¡¯t he making a move now?¡± ¡°The Gods can not be defeated! The human race is in danger.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The morale of the human race was greatly dampened. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with despair. The strength of a God realm expert was simply too terrifying. They were no match for him. Moreover, they had lost a Supreme Sage expert, which made them even more desperate. Watching the air of despair spreading, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. He sent Supreme Sage Huang Dao flying with a palm strike, then shouted into the depths of the starry sky, ¡°Senior Heaven Demon, are you still not going to make a move?¡± Everyone was shocked. Then, monstrous demonic energy filled the air. Heaven Demon came through the air with two Supreme Sages, releasing a terrifying aura. At the same time, Qin Chen also transmitted his voice to Supreme Sage Qin Tian, ¡°Senior, calm your mind and don¡¯t be affected by Sheng Xuan.¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian came to a sudden realization. He immediately retracted his thoughts and battle intent returned to his eyes. He was even more alert now. He did not expect that Sheng Xuan could affect his state of mind and cause despair to spread in the human camp. He immediately shouted at everyone, ¡°Everyone, guard your minds. Sheng Xuan can spread despair. Everyone, remind each other not to be affected by it!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect to be affected by Sheng Xuan. All of them had a look of fear on their faces. The humans formed groups and reminded each other. At this time, Heaven Demon and the other two entered the battlefield. They were confronting Sheng Xuan in the starry sky. No one dared to attack rashly, as each of them had scruples. ¡°Heaven Demon, the demon god race is also part of the ten thousand ancient races. You shouldn¡¯t help the human race,¡± Sheng Xuan was the first to speak. He was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he wanted to instigate Heaven Demon to not get involved in this matter. ¡°Sheng Xuan, you don¡¯t have any right to have a say about what the demon god race does. Besides, our two races have been enemies for tens of thousands of years. It¡¯s only right for me to help the human race,¡± Heaven Demon had no intention of making a move either, and his eyes were filled with some worry. After all, Sheng Xuan had already broken through to the God realm, and the other party¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Even if he had the advantage of numbers, he might not be his opponent. Compared to the two, who were fine, the other battlefields were much more brutal. In just a few moments, more than a dozen Sages had died, some human and some from the ten thousand ancient races. Qin Chen¡¯s battle was even more brutal. Holding the Desolate Divine Halberd, he was like a god of war, completely suppressing Supreme Sage Huang Dao, who was at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. There were even a few times when he almost seriously injured the latter. Feeling Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying power, Supreme Sage Huang Dao did not dare to fight head-on with the other party any longer. Instead, he was like a mudfish that had been smeared with mud as he only blocked and dodged, not bothering to engage in a true battle with Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned cold. He didn¡¯t expect Supreme Sage Huang Dao to be so difficult to deal with. However, he didn¡¯t want to continue wasting time with Supreme Sage Huang Dao either. After all, he couldn¡¯t let Heaven Demon and the other two fight against Sheng Xuan alone. ¡°Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist!¡± Qin Chen roared and struck out an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. The terrifying force struck out and shattered the void. He wanted to finish off Supreme Sage Huang Dao in one strike. Supreme Sage Huang Dao was very ¡°slippery¡±. He used the phoenix¡¯s secret technique to increase his speed to the point he was even as fast as a God. Qin Chen could not catch up with him. As such, the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist missed and dissipated in the starry sky. ¡°Damn it, let¡¯s see how fast you can be!¡± Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and Ancient Void Technique to increase his speed by another fold. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Supreme Sage Huang Dao. However, the latter was indeed faster. The moment Qin Chen appeared, he disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen roared as he charged at Supreme Sage Huang Dao again. The Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand erupted with its quasi-emperor might while the tip of the halberd was imbued with an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. Once hit, Supreme Sage Huang Dao would die without a doubt. ¡°Human Elder King, I admit that you¡¯re very strong and I admit that I¡¯m no match for you. However, in terms of speed, you can¡¯t possibly catch up to me,¡± Supreme Sage Huang Dao snorted coldly. He was very conceited and had absolute confidence. Once again, he displayed his speed and dodged Qin Chen¡¯s attack. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t stop there. He chased after Supreme Sage Huang Dao again and unleashed his Sagely might. he struck out emperor-grade supernormal knowledge one after another, but Supreme Sage Huang Dao dodged them all. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before. you can¡¯t catch up to me. You¡¯re just wasting your time!¡± Supreme Sage Huang Dao dodged another attack and shouted at Qin Chen impatiently. He was losing his patience in the face of such a high-intensity pursuit. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen roared as he activated the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand once again. He continued to pursue Supreme Sage Huang Dao. His power was strong enough to kill any Supreme Sage present. Supreme Sage Huang Dao continued to use his phoenix speed and easily dodged the attack. However, at this moment, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. This time, he did not stop and instead turned to target Supreme Sage Duo Ri. ¡°Huang Dao, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kill me with a borrowed knife?¡± The expression on Supreme Sage Duo Ri¡¯s face changed drastically as he shouted at Supreme Sage Huang Dao. Immediately, he unleashed his Sagely might and used all his strength to block Qin Chen¡¯s spear. However, before the two Supreme Sages could celebrate, Patriarch Jiu Long suddenly attacked. With a single palm, he shattered half of Supreme Sage Duo Ri¡¯s body, severely injuring the latter and reducing his combat power by more than half. ¡°Argh! Bastard! I¡¯m going to kill you all!¡± Supreme Sage Duo Ri roared. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen and Patriarch Jiu Long attacked again. They used their emperor-grade supernormal knowledge at the same time in an attempt to take his life. Supreme Sage Huang Dao¡¯s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly came to Supreme Sage Duo Ri¡¯s side and the two worked together to activate their primordial emperor weapons. They used two ancient emperor supernormal knowledge before barely managing to block the attacks of Qin Chen and Patriarch Jiu Long. However, they were still in a sorry set. The battle here alarmed Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s invincible combat power, he felt a hint of threat. He barked at Heaven Demon, ¡°Heaven Demon, are you really going to help the human race?¡± ¡°The demon god race will advance and retreat with the human race. If you want to exterminate the human race, you¡¯ll have to get past me first!¡± Heaven Demon snorted and expressed his attitude. Upon hearing this, Sheng Xuan¡¯s face turned extremely ugly. He didn¡¯t give up and said again, ¡°You¡¯re not my match now. If you¡¯re determined to protect the human race, don¡¯t blame me for being merciless!¡± Hearing this, Heaven Demon laughed and said mockingly, ¡°What a joke. your primordial sage race and my demon god race have always been irreconcilable enemies. Why do I need you to show me mercy?¡± Chapter 221 - 221 Fighting Sheng Xuan 221 Fighting Sheng Xuan In the depths of the starry sky, with the demon god race¡¯s participation, the holy war between the two factions had already reached its peak. Even though Sheng Xuan had already broken through to the God realm, he still didn¡¯t have the confidence to win. After all, he was facing Heaven Demon who was a half-step God, as well as two level nine Supreme Sage demon god race experts. Although the power of a God-realm expert was far greater than that of a Supreme Sage, Sheng Xuan had just broken through to the God realm not long ago. As such, his realm was not very stable, and he might not be able to defeat the three of them. Moreover, there was also Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who was eyeing him covetously. Although Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s power had been greatly reduced, he still had the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. In critical times, it was enough to threaten Sheng Xuan. ¡°Heaven Demon! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Sheng Xuan roared as his Godly aura burst out. The terrifying aura slowed down the circulation of everyone¡¯s spiritual energy. Then, he appeared in front of Heaven Demon in a flash and struck his palm heavily against the latter. The void shattered and Heaven Demon was sent flying. ¡°Form the array!¡± Heaven Demon roared, and the two demon god race Supreme Sages instantly appeared beside him. They formed the Desolate Heaven Battle Array with Heaven Demon, and in an instant, the latter¡¯s aura surged, and he actually reached the God realm! ¡°It¡¯s this battle array again!¡± Sheng Xuan was furious. This wasn¡¯t the first time he had suffered a loss due to this battle array. What he didn¡¯t expect was that Heaven Demon and the other two also knew this array. Could it be that everyone knew it? Feeling the surging power in his body, Heaven Demon was shocked. This was an array given to him by the Elder King who said that it could increase his strength. He didn¡¯t have much hope, but the result was far beyond his expectations. His current strength was enough to fight against the Gods. ¡°Sheng Xuan, so what if you¡¯ve broken through to the God realm? You will still lose this battle!¡± Heaven Demon shouted and took the initiative to attack. He used his peerless supernormal knowledge while exuding God¡¯s might as he charged toward Sheng Xuan. ¡°How presumptuous! How can a battle array fill the difference between a God and a Supreme Sage?¡± Sheng Xuan shouted as well. He was extremely confident in his strength and clashed head-on with Heaven Demon. The battle caused the sky to turn dark. Many humans and ten thousand ancient races were affected. Sensing the fluctuations coming from the direction of Heaven Demon¡¯s battle, Qin Chen looked a little worried. Although Heaven Demon could fight against Gods with the support of the Desolate Heaven Battle Array, five were needed to unleash the full power of the array. otherwise, once the battle dragged on, they would inevitably be unable to continue and their flaws would be found by Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. As he thought of this, Qin Chen¡¯s killing intent toward Supreme Sage Huang Dao became even stronger. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand and activated his Chaotic Holy Body. With the enhancement of the rule of force, he threw the Desolate Divine Halberd at Supreme Sage Huang Dao with a wave of his hand. Supreme Sage Huang Dao wanted to dodge when he saw the Desolate Divine Halberd coming at him. However, Supreme Sage Duo Ri was behind him. As such, he had no choice but to use his Supreme Sage weapon and his ancient emperor supernormal knowledge to block Qin Chen¡¯s attack. However, before he could react, Qin Chen suddenly charged over. Supreme Sage Huang Dao dodged subconsciously, but a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face again. With a single punch, the latter killed Supreme Sage Duo Ri. With the death of Supreme Sage Duo Ri, the morale of the human race soared. They gave it their all and fought the ten thousand ancient races with no regard for their lives, causing the battle to become even more intense. ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re playing dirty again!¡± Supreme Sage Huang Dao roared. He knew that he had been tricked and was infuriated. The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled up. He ignored the other party and rushed towards Heaven Demon. However, he had just taken a step when Supreme Sage Huang Dao activated his ancient emperor supernormal knowledge to stop him. Just as Qin Chen was about to kill Supreme Sage Huang Dao with all his might, Patriarch Jiu Long activated his extreme emperor weapon and attacked as well. He fought Supreme Sage Huang Dao with all his might, not giving the latter a chance to escape. ¡°Elder King, leave this wild chicken to me. You can go and help the demon god race!¡± Patriarch Jiu Long roared. Although his cultivation was far from Supreme Sage Huang Dao¡¯s, he had an extreme emperor weapon. Supreme Sage Huang Dao really couldn¡¯t do anything to him. It was the same for the other battlefields. Although the Supreme Sages of the human camp were at a disadvantage, they were still able to hold on with the extreme emperor weapons. The only one who was in a more miserable state was the big scorpion. His opponent was Supreme Sage Man Jin of the giant race who had a cultivation base of level 6 in the Supreme Sage realm. From the beginning to the end, the big scorpion had been suppressed and beaten. His two front teeth had been knocked out by Supreme Sage Man Jin. As such, when he cursed, it was incoherent, which was quite amusing. Even so, the big scorpion¡¯s bloodline power was very strong, and his physical body recovery abilities were simply abnormal. As such, even though he was beaten up to such a sorry state, he hadn¡¯t suffered any serious injuries. He simply looked miserable. Seeing that everyone¡¯s fights were going well, Qin Chen did not go to help. After all, as long as they could get rid of Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan, the holy war between the two factions would end. With the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand, he arrived at the battlefield of the Gods in a few steps. Feeling the terrifying Godly aura, Qin Chen once again felt how small he was. He swore to himself that once this matter was over, he would find another Emperor relic and go into seclusion for a few decades. ¡°Senior Heaven Demon! I¡¯ll help you!¡± Qin Chen shouted. Heaven Demon and Sheng Xuan showed up one after another. Both of them were injured. It seemed like both had chances of winning. No one had the upper hand. ¡°Heaven Demon, I can let the human race go and call it a truce if I can kill the human Elder King only. How about it?¡± Sheng Xuan said. Seeing Qin Chen appear, he actually felt a little uneasy. ¡°Sheng Xuan, you¡¯re afraid! Hahaha! To think you¡¯re afraid!¡± Heaven Demon laughed sarcastically. His intention was obvious. He and the two demon god race Supreme Sages came to Qin Chen¡¯s side and the former called out, ¡°Brat, you¡¯re a little late!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve made the senior wait for a long time,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands and looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who was recuperating not far away. He shouted, ¡°Senior Qin Tian, it¡¯s time to kill Sheng Xuan!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s eyes flew open. He had already recovered 70% of his strength. Although he was not fully recovered, it was already sufficient. With a single step, he appeared beside Qin Chen. ¡°Form the array!¡± The five of them shouted at the same time, and the Desolate Heaven Battle Array appeared again. The five of them could now share power, and their strength was comparable to a level three God realm expert. Seeing the five of them form the array, Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan¡¯s face turned extremely ugly. He unleashed his full power and used his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge to attack the injured Supreme Sage Qin Tian. ¡°Ha!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian roared and brandished the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with his hand. He used his God realm power to revive the weapon and slashed out. Emperor¡¯s might enveloped the starry sky. Sword energy swept through the starry sky and sent Sheng Xuan flying. The latter coughed up a mouthful of blood, seriously injured by the sword attack. ¡°Sheng Xuan, today is the day you die!¡± Heaven Demon shouted. At this moment, he also began to show his might. His Godly aura was extremely terrifying. He raised his palm, and the entire starry sky trembled. Without any hesitation, he struck at Sheng Xuan. Chapter 222 - 222 Heavenly Sovereigns Decree 1 222 Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Decree 1 Such power stunned everyone. Supreme Sage Huang Dao and the others stopped and looked at the scene with cold sweat. If Sheng Xuan was killed by Heaven Demon, it would be the end of the holy war. ¡°Heaven Demon, you¡¯re looking for death!¡± Sheng Xuan was furious. He flipped his hand and took out a scroll. The scroll exuded a primordial imperial might that was comparable to a primordial emperor weapon. The power was monstrous and extremely terrifying. ¡°Break!¡± Sheng Xuan shouted and activated the scroll with all his might. His hand turned and struck out a primordial imperial might, directly shattering Heaven Demon¡¯s attack in the endless starry sky. ¡°The heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree!¡± Heaven Demon exclaimed, and his expression turned extremely ugly. The heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree was the decree left behind by Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng. It contained Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng¡¯s path. Although it was not a primordial emperor weapon, its power was not much different. Furthermore, it was much easier to activate than a primordial emperor weapon or extreme emperor weapon. ¡°A group of fanatics, watch how I¡¯ll suppress you!¡± Sheng Xuan shouted and once again activated the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree, charging toward Qin Chen and the other four. The primordial imperial might was monstrous, and the power of the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree soared, completely suppressing Qin Chen and the other four. As the situation turned around, Supreme Sage Huang Dao and the others heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they could not accept being defeated by the human race. ¡°Haha, I knew Lord Sheng Xuan wouldn¡¯t be defeated! So what if the demon god race and the human race work together? They¡¯re definitely not Lord Sheng Xuan¡¯s opponent.¡± ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan is the best expert in history. How can he be defeated?¡± ¡°Since even the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree has been used, the ten thousand ancient races will definitely win this battle.¡± A group of Sages clamored. Seeing Sheng Xuan¡¯s divine might, everyone¡¯s morale rose, and their attacks became fiercer and fiercer, making the battle increasingly intense. At this moment, Supreme Sage Qin Tian also took out the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword unleashed its might, and its emperor¡¯s might was extremely terrifying. It swept across the galaxy and shattered the stars in the sky. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree devoured each other in the starry sky. Neither side could defeat the other. ¡°Kill!¡± Sheng Xuan let out a roar as he unleashed his divine might. Then, he took out a huge cauldron which was made of divine iron and was a supreme-grade divine weapon. The huge cauldron unleashed its might in the starry sky, containing the laws of the Great Path. A terrifying aura surged over, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the other four. Heaven Demon was unwilling to be outdone. He flipped his palm and a demonic bead appeared in his hand. The demonic bead was as dark as the abyss and was filled with demonic energy. It was a rare divine weapon. This demonic bead was called the Demon God Pearl. It was formed from a drop of blood from a peerless expert of the demon god race during the primordial era. It contained ultimate Demon God paths and was comparable to a supreme-grade divine weapon. The demon god race was showing their might as well, releasing a monstrous demonic energy that blocked all the starlight, turning the battlefield dark as they fought fiercely with Sheng Xuan¡¯s cauldron. ¡°Heaven Demon, I can¡¯t do anything to you right now, but you can¡¯t do anything to me either. However, even though there are many Supreme Sages in the human race, not many of them were above level 5. How can they be a match for Sheng Guang and Sheng Ming? When the battle outside is over, you won¡¯t be able to escape even if you have wings,¡± Sheng Xuan snorted coldly, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t do anything to the five of them, so he could only hand over the scales of victory to the other Supreme Sages. As long as one of them came to help, it could determine the outcome of this battle. Qin Chen and the other four had already tried their best. It was already unbelievable that the five of them could hold back a God realm expert while all still being Supreme Sages only. It was almost impossible for them to defeat Sheng Xuan. Just like the latter, they could only wait for the support of others. ¡°Sheng Xuan, don¡¯t underestimate the human race. We don¡¯t know who will win this battle, and the reinforcements who come might not even be Supreme Sages from the ten thousand ancient races!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian roared in anger. He had full confidence in the human race. He always believed that humans would be the ones to win. Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan laughed coldly and his eyes were filled with disdain. He did not argue with Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Instead, he shouted to the outside world, ¡°Suppress the humans quickly!¡± When Supreme Sage Sheng Guang and the others heard this, they unleashed their full power and no longer held back. They unleashed monstrous attacks and instantly turned the tide of the battle. The human Supreme Sages were at a disadvantage and could only defend themselves. ¡°Hmph, the human race was like an ant during the primordial era. Even after the primordial era, all of you will not be able to escape from the fate of being killed. When the battle outside is over, you¡¯ll all die. Heaven Demon, for the demon god race to work with the human race, you¡¯re just digging your own grave,¡± Sheng Xuan growled and looked at Heaven Demon coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent. The demon god race and the primordial sage race had always been mortal enemies. Now that the demon god race had joined forces with the ant-like human race, it had completely infuriated Sheng Xuan and raised his intentions of killing. Heaven Demon chuckled and said to Sheng Xuan coldly, ¡°Sheng Xuan, the primordial sage race has been arrogant since the primordial era. Now, you¡¯re even more arrogant. Do you really think that you¡¯ll win today? ¡± ¡°Hmph, the human race is already showing signs of defeat. The primordial sage race will definitely win this battle. Can¡¯t you, the great Heaven Demon, see it?¡± Sheng Xuan snorted with confidence. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart burned with anger. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd and fully awakened his Chaotic Holy Body. Then, he circulated the rule of force and threw his weapon at Sheng Xuan. The Desolate Divine Halberd released its power, exuding its quasi-emperor might. Everywhere it passed, thousands of cracks were formed, and the momentum was particularly terrifying. Sheng Xuan was shocked by Qin Chen¡¯s combat power. Facing quasi-emperor might, he didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He unleashed his divine might and used his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge to strike out with his palm, sending the Desolate Divine Halberd flying. Chapter 223 - 223 Heavenly Sovereigns Decree 2 223 Heavenly Sovereign¡¯s Decree 2 ¡°You¡¯re only at level one of the Supreme Sage realm, but you¡¯re able to launch such an attack. Human Elder King, you¡¯re indeed a monster. However, what I like to do the most is to kill monsters like you, ¡°Sheng Xuan shouted with a fierce look in his eyes, like a wild beast staring at its prey. When Qin Chen saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. At this moment, the Desolate Divine Halberd that had been sent flying suddenly flew towards Supreme Sage Huang Tian. The terrifying quasi-emperor might shocked everyone outside. Supreme Sage Huang Tian¡¯s expression changed drastically. He wanted to use his Supreme Sage weapon to defend himself, but the eldest Princess, who was his opponent, suddenly unleashed her power and threw out her extreme emperor weapon, locking Supreme Sage Huang Tian in space, making him unable to move. ¡°Supreme Sage Huang Tian!¡± Supreme Sage Huang Dao shouted and wanted to rush over to help, but he was stopped by Patriarch Jiu Long. Almost at the same time, the Supreme Sages of the human race launched their counterattacks. They charged at the Supreme Sages of the ten thousand ancient races with no regard for their lives. All of them knew that as long as Supreme Sage Huang Tian died, the tides of the battle would turn and the human race would definitely win. ¡°Bastard, don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Sheng Xuan roared. His entire body emitted divine light as he circulated his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge in his palm. Without any hesitation, he struck out, shattering the void, wanting to forcefully block the Desolate Divine Halberd¡¯s attack. The void shattered, and a huge palm struck out from the void, cutting through the darkness and clashing with the Desolate Divine Halberd. A shocking shockwave was created, forcing everyone to take a few steps back. The attack of the Desolate Divine Halberd was also successfully blocked by Sheng Xuan. Supreme Sage Huang Tian unleashed his power as well and used his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge to block the extreme emperor might. He escaped from the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s might with a lingering fear and shouted into the distance, ¡°Many thanks, Lord Sheng Xuan.¡± Seeing that Supreme Sage Huang Tian was out of danger, the group from the ten thousand ancient races launched another wave of attacks at the other human Supreme Sages. The human Surpeme Sages were weaker in terms of cultivation and were thus at a disadvantage. ¡°Human Elder King, do you have any other methods? If you don¡¯t, then obediently wait for death!¡± Sheng Xuan looked at the five of them coldly with a smug expression. Qin Chen furrowed his brows, his expression turning unsightly. Just as Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan had said, if the stalemate continued, the human race¡¯s Supreme Sages would be defeated due to the difference in cultivation. At that time, the whole human race would definitely be defeated! Time passed, and it didn¡¯t take long for Patriarch Qing Long to be the first to be defeated. His opponent was Supreme Sage Sheng Guang, a level 8 Supreme Sage with extreme power and an awakened quasi-sovereign weapon. Even with his extreme emperor weapon, Patriarch Qing Long was still no match for his opponent and was defeated with heavy injuries. Supreme Sage Sheng Guang did not continue to pursue Patriarch Qing Long. After all, the latter had an extreme emperor weapon to protect him. Although he was heavily injured, he was still not easy to kill. Thus, he turned his head and charged at Supreme Sage Sheng Guang, who was fighting with Patriarch Kuang Ren. Patriarch Kuang Ren dragged the Heaven-devouring Emperor¡¯s bottle and released extreme emperor might. Every move he made was a killer move, and he fought back and forth with Supreme Sage Sheng Guang. Supreme Sage Sheng Guang wasn¡¯t weak either. He held a quasi-sovereign weapon that was exactly the same as Supreme Sage Sheng Guang¡¯s. When he activated it with all his might, it was able to block the Heaven-devouring Emperor Bottle. He fought Patriarch Kuang Ren until the sky darkened and the stars were destroyed. At this moment, Supreme Sage Sheng Guang suddenly joined the battle, increasing the pressure on Patriarch Kuang Ren, sending the latter into a precarious situation and almost losing a few times. ¡°If this continues, we¡¯ll lose without a doubt!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian furrowed his brows and his expression was extremely ugly. He had thought that the human Supreme Sages with the extreme emperor weapons would definitely win. However, he had never expected that every Supreme Sage of the ten thousand ancient races would have a way to resist the extreme emperor weapons. This had destroyed the last bit of confidence of the humans. Qin Chen could also see the result, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. They were so close to winning, but they were also so close to losing to Sheng Xuan. On the Canglan Continent, the ten thousand ancient races and the human race were at war once more. With the help of the Desolate Heaven Battle Array, the human race still had the upper hand. Even though a few cities had been destroyed, they had still managed to wipe out a dozen ancient races. Their losses were far lower than the ten thousand ancient races. However, on this day, someone used a secret treasure to peek into the battlefield in the depths of the starry sky. He saw the severely injured and defeated Patriarch Qing Long. The news spread and the entire human race fell into panic. ¡°Patriarch Qing Long was defeated! Even the Supreme Sages of the human race are at a disadvantage. If this goes on, the human race will definitely be defeated. The Heavens want to destroy the human race!¡± ¡°If the human Supreme Sages are defeated, the human race will be annihilated without a doubt!¡± ¡°If we had known this would happen, we shouldn¡¯t have provoked the ten thousand ancient races! It¡¯s all the Elder King¡¯s fault. If not for him, why would we have started a war with the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°What a joke. The Elder King has been protecting the dignity of the human race for the sake of the human race. In the holy war, he unleashed all his might. You¡¯re such a disgrace for even thinking of blaming him after he has done his job!¡± Panic began to spread, and some began to regret starting a war with the ten thousand ancient races. Some even began to curse at the Elder King. However, many more admired the Elder King. After hearing these comments, they immediately retaliated. For a time, the human race fell into internal strife. At night, Ling Ran sat on the top of the city wall and looked at the endless starry sky. When she sensed some fluctuations coming from the starry sky, her gaze became exceptionally deep, and the image of the Elder King kept appearing in her mind. ¡°Elder King, the human race is in a state of chaos and is even showing signs of internal war. Can you tell me what to do?¡± Ling Ran muttered softly. When she thought of the current situation of the human race, her expression became even uglier. The night was quiet. No one heard Ling Ran¡¯s words, and no one responded to her. She sat quietly on the wall like a fairy, making people yearn for her. At this moment, the entire Emperor star began to shake violently. The paths buzzed, and the heavens and earth resonated. Every living being fell into a state of panic. All of them knew that this was a sign that something big was about to happen. ¡°Hahahaha! Heaven and Earth have returned, and the emperor¡¯s path has been restored. In this life, the son of the Ji family will definitely become an emperor!¡± Roaring laughter came from the Central Province, and a human Supreme Sage shouted at the sky. This person¡¯s aura was not any weaker than the previous Sheng Xuan. He was also a level 9 Supreme Sage. Sage Ji¡¯s appearance attracted the attention of the ten thousand ancient races. They were all shocked. They had never thought that the human race would still have such a powerful being. At the same time, Mo Yuan also appeared in the sky. Demonic energy wrapped around his body, and he emitted black holy light. He shouted toward the depths of the East Sea, ¡°Sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang, do you dare to come out and fight?¡± The entire ten thousand ancient races were shocked. All of them wanted to know who this man from the demon god race was. To think he wanted to fight the two sons of the Ancient Emperors! ¡°It¡¯s Mo Yuan, the son of Heaven Sovereign Demon God! I didn¡¯t expect him to have been revived so early,¡± Someone shouted, revealing Mo Yuan¡¯s identity. For a moment, the ten thousand ancient races were shaken and revealed looks of shock. ¡°Mo Yuan! you¡¯re really patient! To think you were only willing to come out now,¡± Prince Zhan took a step forward and instantly appeared in the sky above the Central Province. He faced Mo Yuan from a distance, his eyes filled with battle intent. ¡°Roar!¡± A dragon¡¯s roar resounded as a golden primordial dragon tore through the sky and rushed over. His Sagely might surged as he transformed into a golden-robed young man and shouted, ¡°The primordial dragon race should rise in the war of the great era!¡± ¡°Hahaha! Is the primordial dragon race even worthy of being called a dragon race?¡± A loud laugh was heard and a man with dragon horns flew out from Heavenly Dragon Mountain. There was no aura fluctuation on his body but he brought great pressure on everyone. ¡°Who are you? Why are you targeting the primordial dragon race?¡± The golden-robed youth asked. The dragon-horned man smiled with disdain and grunted as he released his dragon might. He simply said, ¡°The bloodline of your race is not pure, yet you still dare to call yourself the dragon race. Never mind in the past, but from today on, your race will have to change its name.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re a member of the dragon race, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you!¡± Mo Yuan cupped his hands. His usual arrogance was gone and his attitude was extremely humble. After all, the dragon race was not to be trifled with. The strength of the dragon race was probably far beyond that of the primordial sage race. Chapter 224 - 224 Nine Heavens and Ten Lands 224 Nine Heavens and Ten Lands The golden-robed young man¡¯s eyes darkened when he heard the dragon-horned man¡¯s words. His expression became extremely ugly. He had never thought that a member of the dragon race would appear and target him like this. Everyone knew the strength of the dragon race. As such, even though the dragon-horned man said such arrogant words, the golden-robed youth did not dare to say a word. He could only keep his mouth shut, neither agreeing nor rejecting. At this moment, holy light rose in many places of the Canglan Continent, and many self-sealing geniuses emerged. Some reclusive families reappeared at this time as well, and the real war of the great era had also begun at this moment. The Great Path of Heaven and Earth on the Emperor Star was restored, and the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth was also restored. The ground became extremely solid, comparable to the depths of the forbidden grounds. Even a Supreme Sage would find it difficult to destroy Heaven and Earth now. A ripple spread out from the Emperor Star to the universe. Wherever it passed, the Great Path would buzz. The order and rules of Heaven and Earth were changing, becoming more complete and more suitable for cultivation. Everyone who was participating in the holy war stopped at the same time. They were all shocked by a phenomenon. Although they all knew that a great change was about to happen in the world, they had never thought that it would actually happen now. The ripples passed through everyone¡¯s bodies, and everyone¡¯s spiritual energy rose. The injured recovered rapidly. This was a gift from Heaven and Earth, and also a great opportunity. at this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s body was also changing. The spiritual energy in his body surged, allowing him to break through to level 2 of the Supreme Sage realm. however, before he had the time to be happy, he found that the people around him had broken through several levels in succession. Even Sheng Xuan had broken through to level 3 of the God realm. Heaven Demon broke through to level 2 of the God realm in one go, and the two other demon god experts also broke through to the God realm. Other than the three of them, Supreme Sage Sheng Guang and Supreme Sage Sheng Ming also broke through to the God realm, while Supreme Sage Huang Dao and the others had almost all reached level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. The cultivation of the human Supreme Sages had also improved, rising several levels. The eldest Princess and Patriarch Kuang Ren had the most improvement, reaching level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. The others were not to be outdone. Even the weakest had reached level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. The collective breakthrough this time caught everyone off guard. Under the support of the Desolate Heaven Battle Array, Qin Chen and the other four¡¯s combat strength reached level 5 of the God realm. Supreme Sage Qin Tian unleashed his full power and activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. with a single palm, he sent Sheng Xuan flying. It was the same for the other battlefields. After Sheng Guang and Sheng Ming broke through to the God realm, Patriarch Kaung Ren was no match for them at all. In just one round, he was severely injured on the spot. If Patriarch Qing Long hadn¡¯t thrown out his emperor weapon to save him, Patriarch Kuang Ren would¡¯ve probably died. ¡°Sheng Xuan, die!¡± Heaven Demon shouted and circulated his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge in his palm. Primordial imperial might came with a terrifying momentum, shocking everyone. Sheng Xuan tried his best to revive the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree, but the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was also unleashing its might at this moment. It confronted the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree in the starry sky, and the endless void was shattered. The scroll was unable to help Sheng Xuan block this attack. ¡°Heaven Demon, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± The brothers, Sheng Guang and Sheng Ming, rushed over and joined forces with Sheng Xuan. Together, they struck with all their might. Under the joint efforts of the three, the terrifying attack cast by Heaven Demon was obliterated. The aftermath spread out and separated the people from the two camps again. The two sides faced off across the starry sky, their eyes filled with fear. The recovery of the world this time had greatly increased the strength of both sides, and their cultivations had also become much closer. Although the ten thousand ancient races still had the upper hand, the human race had also improved significantly. Heaven Demon and the other two had even broken through to the God realm, greatly closing the gap between the two sides. If the battle continued, no one had the confidence to win, so neither side dared to make a move. At this moment, places hidden in the fogs of the Emperor Star and Great Path appeared one after another. One could see across the starry sky that the Emperor Star now had nine Heavens and nine Lands. Together with the Canglan Continent, it was exactly nine Heavens and ten lands. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, The nine Heavens and ten lands started to return, gathering towards the center of the Emperor Star. The ten lands connected, forming a brand new continent. It was the same for the nine Heavens. Nine continents floating in the sky began to gather and overlap with each other. From large to small, they gathered layer by layer to form the nine Heavens! The fog of the Great Path had completely dispersed, and countless powerful auras could be sensed by everyone. More than a dozen Supreme Sages flew out from the other nine lands and looked at the starry sky, watching Qin Chen and the others. These people¡¯s auras were very strong. There was no lack of level 9 Surpeme Sages among them. Some of them were humans, some of them were demons, and some of them were from races that even Qin Chen did not know about. Before Qin Chen and the others could react, the ninth Heaven, which was the lowest level of the nine Heavens, suddenly emitted a golden light. Divine rules came, and five Gods stepped out of the golden light, appearing in the eyes of all living beings. The auras of the five Gods were extremely terrifying. One of them had even reached level 5 of the God realm, which made the crowd feel fear. ¡°Oh! There are actually so many experts in the ten lands of the mortal realm! Didn¡¯t they say that the people in the ten lands of the mortal realm are weak?¡± ¡°According to the records, the ten lands were the main force that resisted the darkness. Many great emperors were born during this period. If it wasn¡¯t for the changes in the world, the nine Heavens might not be stronger than the ten lands.¡± ¡°Those people in the starry sky should be the great emperors¡¯ descendants! However, they don¡¯t seem to be very friendly.¡± A God looked through the starry sky and saw Qin Chen and the others. When he saw the extreme emperor weapons and primordial emperor weapons in the depths of the starry sky, his heart trembled and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. ¡°Oh! Is this a faction war? The darkness is about to strike, but they are still fighting against each other! It seems that the ten lands have been sealed for too long and these people don¡¯t know anything,¡± Another God spoke. It was a middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe, which was wrapped with the power of the Great Path. One look and one could tell that the robe was an extraordinary treasure. As soon as he finished speaking, the man stepped into the starry sky and appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others in an instant. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Stop, everyone. We¡¯re all living beings of the nine Heavens and ten lands. there¡¯s no need to be divided into races. The great tribulation is coming. all of you should work together to face it! ¡± ¡°The great tribulation?¡± Everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat. They didn¡¯t understand what the man meant by this, and they didn¡¯t know what great tribulation he was talking about. All of them looked puzzled. Hearing this, Heaven Demon¡¯s eyes darkened and he asked, ¡°Are you from the Chiyang Heavenly Dao Mansion?¡± ¡°Oh? You actually know about the Chiyang Heavenly Dao Mansion?¡± The man cried out in surprise. Heaven Demon¡¯s words were beyond his expectations. Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯m the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s elder, Dao Ming! Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I know where you¡¯ve heard of the Heavenly Dao Mansion?¡± Chapter 225 - 225 Heavenly Dao Mansion 225 Heavenly Dao Mansion ¡°I¡¯m Heaven Demon from the demon god race. There are some records in my race regarding the Heavenly Dao Mansion and the great calamity. however, it¡¯s been too long, and most of the records left behind by our predecessors have been lost. That¡¯s why I only know little,¡± Heaven Demon replied softly. He was very polite to Dao Ming and was even a little fearful. He was even more fearful of Dao Ming than of the primordial sage race. Dao Ming nodded. After knowing the reason, he returned to his normal state and said to everyone, ¡°Everyone, please put aside your differences and go back to rest. Three days later, the five of us will choose a group of outstanding talents from each race to go to Chiyang Heaven.¡± ¡°Go to Chiyang Heaven?¡± Everyone frowned. They did not understand Dao Ming¡¯s intention and looked puzzled. Upon seeing this, Dao Ming explained patiently, ¡°The spiritual power between Heaven and Earth in the nine Heavens is ten times that of the ten lands. However, the sky-climbing ladder has not been unsealed yet. As such, the people of the ten lands can only go to the nine Heavens through the great guiding array. Only a few factions in the nine Heavens have a great guiding array, and the Heavenly Dao Mansion is one of them. I came here to take a group of geniuses from the ten lands to cultivate in the nine Heavens.¡± When everyone heard this, they finally understood Dao Ming¡¯s intention. The eyes of some lit up as all of them wanted to send their juniors to Chiyang Heaven. ¡°Lord Dao Ming, there¡¯s a youth in my race who¡¯s a once-in-a-century talent. Please send him to Chiyang Heaven!¡± ¡°My race also has two talents who only appear once in five hundred years. Please send them to Chiyang Heaven, Lord Dao Ming.¡± ¡°Hmph, other than the Elder King from the human race, what other humans can be called talents? Lord Dao Ming, the ten thousand ancient races have many geniuses. Please consider us more.¡± ¡°Tsk! You¡¯ve already been defeated, what right do you have to be so proud? It¡¯s only a given that the human race is the best!¡± Without waiting for Dao Ming¡¯s reply, the human race Sage and the Sages of the ten thousand ancient races started to quarrel. They quarreled till their faces flushed and their veins bulged. It seemed like they were going to fight again. ¡°Shut up!¡± Dao Ming shouted and released his Godly aura, scaring everyone into shutting their mouths and not daring to argue anymore. ¡°In three days, all talents of the races can come to the center of the ten lands to look for me. I will select twenty people and send them to Chiyang Heaven,¡± Dao Ming snorted coldly and left immediately, ignoring the crowd. After Dao Ming left, the group of people was at a loss. They did not know what to do. They wondered if the holy war should continue. As such, all of them looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Supreme Sage Sheng Xuan. ¡°Now that things have come to this, do the ten thousand ancient races still want to fight?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian was the first to ask. Sheng Xuan frowned and snorted,¡± Human Elder King, our primordial emperor¡¯s son will settle the score with you!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Xuan did not stay any longer. He stepped out of the void and disappeared into the endless starry sky. Seeing that Sheng Xuan had left, the ten thousand ancient races did not dare to stay any longer. After leaving behind some harsh words, they left one after another. ¡°I never thought that the war between the two races would end like this. What a joke. Elder King of the human race, the world has been restored and the great era has emerged. Our young master is very willing to work with you. If you are interested, you can come to visit the demon god race when you have time,¡± Heaven Demon snorted coldly, then disappeared into the depths of the starry sky with the two demon god race¡¯s clansmen. After Sheng Xuan and Heaven Demon left, only the human race and Sage corpses were left in the starry sky. No one had won this holy war, but all had suffered significant losses. The giant race had lost two Supreme Sages, the skyfall race had lost one, and the human race had also lost one as well. As for the Sage Kings and Sages, both sides had suffered many deaths. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s all go back and prepare for the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s test,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian said. Hearing this, everyone nodded. This matter was no small matter and concerned the future of the race. Therefore, all of them rushed back to their families to select their juniors who were to participate in the test in three days. After bidding farewell to Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Qin Chen returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. When the Taiyi Holy Land disciples saw the Elder King, they were all excited. They thought that the human race had won the Holy war. ¡°Hahaha! I knew that the human race would definitely win this battle. Let¡¯s see if the ten thousand ancient races will still dare to be so arrogant in front of the human race in the future.¡± ¡°The Elder King has killed three Supreme Sages. He¡¯s invincible. As expected of the Elder King. ¡°The victory of this battle has really raised the prestige of the human race! It¡¯s really refreshing!¡± ¡°Did we really win? Why do I see the Supreme Sages of the ten thousand ancient races returning as well?¡± Someone cried out in surprise and his eyes were filled with doubt as he was not sure if the humans had won the holy war. After hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Chen. Ling Ran walked over with a puzzled expression and asked, ¡°Elder King, did we win?¡± ¡°No!¡± After Qin Chen replied indifferently, there was a dead silence. Everyone stood still, their eyes full of doubt and despair. ¡°But we didn¡¯t lose either. This time, the world has been restored and the nine Heavens and ten lands have returned to one. The people from Chiyang Heaven¡¯s Heavenly Dao Mansion stopped us. As such, there was no winner in the war between the two races,¡± Qin Chen spoke again and told everyone what had happened in the starry sky. Everyone was excited when they learned that the Heavenly Dao Mansion was going to select geniuses to go to Chiyang Heaven. ¡°The Elder King is the publicly acknowledged genius of the human race. There will definitely be a spot for him among these twenty spots.¡± ¡°If the Elder King goes to Chiyang Heaven, what about the Taiyi Holy Land? What if the ten thousand ancient races come to attack again?¡± ¡°The human race has so many Supreme Sages. Do we need to fear the ten thousand ancient races? Besides, we can¡¯t stop Elder King from going to Chiyang Heaven, even if we have to disband the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. As long as the Elder King is around, the Taiyi Holy Land will be around. We can¡¯t obstruct the Elder King¡¯s path.¡± The group of people nodded their heads. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t even had an inkling about what he was going to do, and these people had already made the decision for him, telling him to go to Chiyang Heaven no matter what. Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s face darkened and his eyes became serious. He didn¡¯t want to go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being. After all, there were so many experts there. It would be very dangerous for him to go there with his current cultivation. Before he reached the God realm, he would not leave the ten lands. Therefore, Qin Chen said in front of everyone, ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran of the Taiyi Holy Land will be the one to participate in the test of the Heavenly Dao Mansion this time. I don¡¯t plan to go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being. Please watch what you say and don¡¯t spread any rumors. When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. They looked at Qin Chen with surprise in their eyes. No one had expected that Qin Chen did not plan on going to Chiyang Heaven! Ling Ran was also puzzled. She said to Qin Chen with a solemn expression, ¡°Elder King, the cultivation speed in Chiyang Heaven is ten times that of the ten lands. You should go.¡± Chapter 226 - 226 The Three Great Ancient Princes 226 The Three Great Ancient Princes ¡°What? The Elder King won¡¯t go to Chiyang Heaven? Why? He¡¯s the number one genius of the Canglan Continent!¡± ¡°If the Elder King doesn¡¯t go, the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s test this time won¡¯t be as interesting to watch.¡± ¡°Even the heavens are helping us. If the Elder King doesn¡¯t go, our chances of entering Chiyang Heaven will increase by a good several folds!¡± ¡°Preposterous! The Elder King is the strongest talent of the human race, and his unparalleled combat power is comparable to the great emperors back when they were young. With such talent, how can he not go to Chiyang Heaven? This is simply nonsense!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The crowd each expressed their opinions. Some were shocked, some were disappointed, some rejoiced, and some complained. Everyone was only talking about the Elder King, and all the other geniuses paled in comparison at this moment. ¡°Where is the Elder King? The ancient prince of my race will kill him today!¡± ¡°Hmph, the Elder King has provoked the ten thousand ancient races many times. The task of killing him should be given to the ancient Prince of my race.¡± Two war chariots arrived, and a group of servants fought to find the Elder King. All of them claimed that they wanted to kill the Elder King. ¡°Those two sure say preposterous things. To think they dare to say that they will kill the Elder King.¡± ¡°They seem to be from the primordial phoenix race and the skyfall race. Could the ancient princes in their mouths be the sons of the Ancient Feng Huang and Ancient Emperor Duo Tian?¡± ¡°The two ancient princes are here. No wonder they dare to denounce the Elder King! However, are they really a match for the Elder King?¡± ¡°So what if they¡¯re ancient princes? The Elder King¡¯s combat power is unrivaled, and he¡¯s comparable to the young great emperors. These ancient princes are still far from him!¡± Someone said angrily. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Supreme Sage might erupted from both chariots. The person who spoke was killed on the spot. Seeing this, everyone shut their mouths and didn¡¯t dare to say another word. When Ling Ran saw this, her eyes darkened. She barked at the two in the chariot, ¡°If the two of you really want to challenge Elder King, you can go to the Taiyi Holy Land. To think you already know that the Elder King won¡¯t come to Tianxia City, yet you still come out and make a fuss. It¡¯s really ridiculous.¡± ¡°Oh! You¡¯re the one with the Zixia Divine Body from the Taiyi Holy Land? Your physique isn¡¯t bad, but your cultivation prowess is a little lacking. However, your looks are to my liking. How about you be my maid?¡± A lecherous laugh came from the skyfall race¡¯s chariot, and his words infuriated all the human race prodigies present. ¡°I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± Ling Ran shouted coldly, and the Zixia Divine Body shone with divine light. Although she was only a Sage, the aura that burst out of her body had already reached the Sage King realm. She activated her Zixia supernormal knowledge power and charged straight at the man in the chariot. ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s your honor that His Highness is willing to take you in as a maid, yet you dare to insult His Highness. You¡¯re simply courting death!¡± The skyfall race¡¯s servant snorted and released his aura. He was a level 9 Sage. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Ling Ran. Then, he waved his hand and activated his supernormal knowledge, fighting with Ling Ran. ¡°Not only is this servant a level 9 Sage, but he also has heaven-defying combat strength. Holy Lord Ling Ran¡¯s cultivation prowess is far inferior to his. Even with the Zixia Divine Body, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s no match for him,¡± Looking at the two in a stalemate, Duanmu Feng snorted with a hint of fear in his eyes. If even the servant was so strong, how strong would the master of the chariot be? Cao Xiuxiu clenched her fists and said, ¡°Are we just going to let them bully the human race like this? So what if he is an ancient prince? I¡¯d like to see how powerful he is.¡± As soon as she finished her words, Cao Xiuxiu suddenly unleashed her strength and arrived in front of the war chariot. She used her emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. However, as soon as she made her move, a monstrous power came out of the war chariot. A palm struck out and sent her flying. ¡°Hmph, I want beautiful ladies, not a tomboy!¡± The skyfall race¡¯s ancient prince harrumphed coldly and still didn¡¯t leave the chariot. ¡°Bastard! You¡¯re going too far!¡± Qin Tao roared as he unleashed his full power, striking out a Sage King weapon toward the ancient prince. ¡°I¡¯m even less interested in men,¡± The skyfall race¡¯s ancient prince snorted and struck out with another palm. His attack this time was even more powerful than the previous one, heavily injuring Qin Tao and sending him flying. At the same time, Ling Ran suddenly unleashed her full power, and the sky was filled with purple divine light. The Zixia supernormal knowledge showed its might, and the skyfall race¡¯s servant was sent flying while coughing up blood with an extremely pale face. There was also a trace of blood down the corner of Ling Ran¡¯s mouth. She glanced at Qin Tao and Cao Xiuxiu, who were seriously injured, and her face darkened. She said in a deep voice, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that the Elder King will come and settle the score with you by doing this?¡± ¡°Hahaha! The Elder King? He¡¯s just a human. Even if he has some talent, he¡¯s still an ant. If he dares to come, I¡¯ll kill him!¡± The skyfall race¡¯s ancient prince laughed arrogantly. At this moment, the son of Ancient Emperor Feng Huang, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly spoke, ¡°Duo Tianzi, the human race¡¯s Elder King is mine. I hope you know this.¡± As he spoke, the chariot of the phoenix race¡¯s ancient prince exuded a terrifying pressure. Everyone was shocked and showed a look of fear. Whoosh! Whoosh! A dozen geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races flew over from the distance. Their auras were extremely powerful, and even the weakest one was a level 9 Sage. ¡°Eh? His Highness Duo Tianzi and His Highness Huang Ri have both arrived!¡± A genius of the ten thousand ancient races exclaimed as he looked at the two chariots with admiration. ¡°Get lost!¡± A war chariot came from afar, and a man as strong as an iron tower flew out of it. The man¡¯s blood energy was extremely shocking. He arrived in front of the crowd with just one step. ¡°Where is the human Elder King? You killed two Supreme Sages of my race. I, Man Shen, will take your life today,¡± The man shouted angrily. His aura was overbearing as he glared at the group of human talents, making them feel great pressure. ¡°Man Shen, the human Elder King isn¡¯t going to Chiyang Heaven. If you want revenge, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to go to the Taiyi Holy Land!¡± Duo Tianzi snorted. ¡°What? Bastard, to think he¡¯s hiding like a turtle. This is seriously infuriating!¡± Man Shen¡¯s voice resounded in the sky. Ling Ran¡¯s eyes darkened when she heard this. She would not allow anyone to slander the Elder King. She said, ¡°The Elder King simply disdains to go to Chiyang Heaven. If you don¡¯t agree, you can go to the Taiyi Holy Land to challenge him!¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Man Shen asked. ¡°She¡¯s the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land,¡± Huang Yang said, ¡°She¡¯s one of the human Elder King¡¯s people.¡± ¡°Hmph, the people of the human Elder King all deserve to die! I¡¯ll take your life first, then I¡¯ll settle the score with the Elder King!¡± Man Shen let out a furious roar. He took a step forward, and monstrous blood energy exploded. It froze the sky, leaving Ling Ran no way to escape. Then, he activated his supernormal knowledge and threw a heavy punch at Ling Ran. the wind generated by the punch was so terrifying that it shattered the void wherever it passed. Chapter 227 - 227 The Elder King Comes 227 The Elder King Comes ¡°Holy Lord Ling Ran!¡± The human talents shouted. They wanted to rescue her, but Man Shen¡¯s aura was too strong. They could not even get close. Looking at such a powerful attack coming at her, Ling Ran desperately activated her Zixia Divine Body. Even so, she still could not break free from the restraint of Man Shen¡¯s might. She could only stand there and wait to be killed by the punch. ¡°Hmph, to think a puny Sage dares to anger His Highness Man Shen. She¡¯s simply courting death.¡± ¡°Is Holy Lord Ling Ran going to die just like that?¡± ¡°To think the first to fall in the war of the great era war is the one with the Zixia Divine Body. Looking back at the primordial era, those with the Zixia Divine Body were all-powerful and even fought with great emperors. It¡¯s really frustrating for her to just die like this in this era!¡± The group sighed, feeling pity for the death of the Zixia Divine Body¡¯s owner. However, at this moment, a golden light flashed by, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ling Ran. The Great Path buzzed, and the figure¡¯s fist collided with Man Shen¡¯s. A terrifying ripple was created, and the ground was shattered. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re looking for the Elder King, so why make things difficult for her? If you¡¯d like to fight, I can accompany you.¡± Ji Daozi snorted and looked calm, not afraid of Man Shen and the others at all. When the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races saw this, they were all shocked. None of them had thought that there would be someone else from the human race who could compete with the ancient princes other than the Elder King. ¡°And who are you, sir?¡± Man Shen frowned. A hint of fear appeared in his eyes. His instinct told him that the other party was no weaker than he was. ¡°Ji family, Ji Daozi!¡± Ji Daozi replied indifferently. With this, everyone remembered his name. ¡°This matter has nothing to do with you. You¡¯d better not meddle in other people¡¯s business,¡± Man Shen said coldly. Even with Ji Daozi¡¯s interference, it couldn¡¯t extinguish his anger toward the Elder King. Ji Daozi stood with his hands behind his back and still looked humble. He said softly, ¡°Since I¡¯m a human, this matter is naturally related to me. Holy Lord Ling Ran is right. If you want to take revenge on the Elder King, you can go to the Taiyi Holy Land. It¡¯s not very flattering to make things difficult for others.¡± ¡°What big words! If you want to stand up for someone else, you should first see if you have the ability!¡± Man Shen growled, and his Supreme Sage might burst out from his body. He looked at Ji Daozi with a vicious expression. At the same time, Huang Yang and Duo Tianzi also walked out of their chariots. The former had a righteous appearance with a phoenix mark on his forehead, while the latter looked extremely evil, with black patterns all over his face. The two of them stared at Ji Daozi like a tiger watching its prey. It was obvious that they were on the same side as Man Shen. Once they made a move, Ji Daozi would have to fight one against three. ¡°Little ancestor, these three are all ancient princes. They¡¯re very powerful. We shouldn¡¯t have to be on bad terms with them,¡± Ji Xuan came to Ji Daozi¡¯s side and said softly. His eyes were filled with fear. He didn¡¯t want to offend three ancient princes from the ten thousand ancient races just because of Ling Ran. ¡°Since we¡¯re all humans, we can¡¯t just sit by and do nothing.¡± Ji Daozi¡¯s eyes narrowed. Even when facing the three ancient princes, he wasn¡¯t afraid at all. ¡°Do you insist on meddling in my business?¡± Man Shen questioned loudly. Ji Daozi replied calmly, ¡°I can¡¯t ignore this matter.¡± ¡°You¡¯re looking for death! I¡¯d like to see how capable you are,¡± Man Shen growled and exploded with blood energy. His body grew and in the blink of an eye, he was more than three meters tall. The muscles on his body were like iron lumps, giving people a strong sense of intimidation. Man Shen clenched his fist and circulated his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge, then launched the fist at Ji Daozi, shattering the void. Ji Daozi¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. Holy light burst out of his body, and the sound of the great path chimed in the void around him. The void twisted and actually moved to devour Man Shen. Man Shen was shocked. It was the first time he had seen a spell that could control the void. He shouted and the might of his fist became more powerful. He punched into the void, trying to shatter it. A cold light suddenly flashed in Ji Daozi¡¯s eyes. The aura on his body became even more terrifying as divine light burst out and the power of the void became increasingly terrifying. Man Shen groaned and he suddenly retreated only to pull out a bloody arm from the void. ¡°What? His Highness Man Shen is actually at a disadvantage! Just who was this human? Since when did the human race have such a talent?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t the human race only have the Elder King? Then who is this person? He¡¯s so powerful that even the ancient prince isn¡¯t his match.¡± ¡°Ji Daozi seems to be using an Ancient Void Technique. Didn¡¯t this technique disappear for over ten thousand years? Could he be the self-proclaimed son of the Ji family?¡± The onlookers were shocked. No one had thought that Ji Daozi would be so terrifyingly strong that even Man Shen was not his opponent. ¡°This human is strange. Let¡¯s kill him together!¡± Duo Tianzi¡¯s eyes turned cold, and his expression was somewhat fearful. With a roar, he attacked at the same time as Huang Yang. They surrounded Ji Daozi along with the injured Man Shen, preparing to kill the human. However, at this moment, a terrifying aura came from the horizon, shocking everyone for a moment. Everyone looked over only to see a monstrous killing intent coming towards them. Then, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone. ¡°I heard that someone is looking for me! I¡¯m here!¡± Qin Chen shouted as he stepped into the void, bringing with him a monstrous killing intent. He appeared in front of the crowd in an instant. ¡°Elder King!¡± Ling Ran was shocked. She did not expect Elder King to rush over at this time. ¡°It¡¯s the Elder King! I¡¯d like to see how arrogant these ancient princes can be!¡± ¡°Hmph, since the Elder King is here, these three people will definitely be dealt with.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the Elder King wouldn¡¯t come?¡± ¡°With the Elder King¡¯s arrival, one of the twenty spots has been taken.¡± ¡°The Elder King is so murderous. It seems like he won¡¯t let this matter rest. There¡¯s going to be a good show to watch.¡± The group cried out, all wanting to know how this matter would end. ¡°You¡¯re the Elder King?¡± Man Shen shouted angrily, his eyes filled with killing intent. As soon as he was revived, he learned that two of his race¡¯s Supreme Sages had been killed by the Elder King. Now that he saw the race¡¯s enemy, he immediately lost all rationality. ¡°So you¡¯re the useless ancient prince who claims to want to seek revenge from me?¡± Qin Chen asked with a disdainful expression. He did not take Man Shen seriously at all. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death!¡± Being humiliated by Qin Chen, Man Shen naturally would not swallow his anger. He let out a roar and unleashed his full power. He swung his fist that contained brute force at Qin Chen. ¡°You dare to show off in front of me with this feeble strength of yours?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain. He circulated the rule of force and struck out with the unadorned Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, shattering the void and destroying everything. The two fists collided in the air. As soon as they collided, Man Shen was sent flying by a terrifying force, and his entire body was smashed into the ground. Chapter 228 - 228 One 228 One-sided Suppression ¡°Wow! So this is the Elder King? He¡¯s simply terrifying!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the Elder King¡¯s strength way too terrifying? Even the ancient prince couldn¡¯t take a single blow from him.¡± ¡°The power of the Elder King¡¯s attack is so terrifying. Is there anyone here who can block it?¡± ¡°So this is the Elder King¡­ So what if that guy is an ancient prince? The Elder King still suppressed him with a single punch. Since ancient times, apart from the young great emperors, who else could achieve such a feat?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the Elder King¡¯s combat strength too heaven-defying? Even Man Shen is no match for him! Who else can stop him?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The onlookers exclaimed. The Elder King¡¯s strength was really shocking. In the entire ten lands, were there any talents who could stop him? Duo Tianzi and Phoenix Sun also looked apprehensive. They sandwiched Qin Chen, one in front and one behind. Primordial emperor¡¯s supernormal knowledge circulated in their palms as they wanted to suppress Qin Chen together. Qin Chen ignored the two and shouted at Man Shen, who had been embedded into the ground, ¡°Hey you, barbarian, didn¡¯t you want to kill me? Why are you hiding underground and not daring to come out?¡± There was no movement underground and no response from Man Shen. No one knew how badly the Elder King had injured Man Shen. Seeing no response, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes darkened. He raised his palm again and shouted, ¡°Get out here!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chen smacked his palm heavily on the ground. The ground cracked, and a figure covered in blood suddenly emerged from the ground. It was the ancient prince, Man Shen. Man Shen looked very miserable. He was covered in blood. The hand that he used to collide with Qin Chen¡¯s fist was now twisted and his elbow was turned over. It was a terrifying sight. ¡°Elder King! You¡¯re going too far!¡± Man Shen growled, his eyes filled with anger. He formed a triangle with Huang Yang and Duo Tianzi, obviously wanting to join forces to suppress Qin Chen. ¡°So what if I¡¯m bullying you? Your race¡¯s Supreme Sage was killed by me. Didn¡¯t you want revenge? Come on then!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s aura was overbearing, and a huge killing intent erupted from him. Even though he was surrounded by three ancient princes, his battle intent was still strong, and he wanted to kill all three of them here. ¡°How arrogant! Let¡¯s attack together!¡± Duo Tianzi growled, and a terrifying Supreme Sage might erupted from his body. He took the lead and struck out a powerful move at Qin Chen. Huang Yang and Man Shen also attacked at the same time. Both of them unleashed their strongest power and struck their strongest blow at Qin Chen. The momentum was extremely shocking, and it seemed like their attacks could kill Qin Chen. ¡°Good! Come!¡± Qin Chen shouted. There was no fear on his face even though he was surrounded by three. With a flip of his hand, the Five Feathers Fan appeared in his hand. Following this, a roc cry sounded and a fiery tornado blew the three away. Without waiting for the three to recover, Qin Chen used the rule of force and Heaven and Earth Dharma. With that, a huge foot appeared in the air and stomped down on Man Shen. Man Shen¡¯s eyes focused and he took out a battle axe. The battle axe was made of immortal divine material. It was a rare quasi-sovereign weapon with a terrifying aura. It was not much weaker than Qin Chen¡¯s Desolate Divine Halberd. He waved his battle axe, and the quasi-ancient emperor¡¯s might attacked. As he swung the axe, a mark in the sky was created, breaking Qin Chen¡¯s Heaven and Earth Dharma straight away. At the same time, a terrifying aura came from behind Qin Chen. Two quasi-sovereign weapons were struck out at the same time, bringing with them monstrous pressure as they charged toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen harrumphed and activated the Five Feathers Fan with all his might. A giant roc appeared and flapped its 30000-meter-long wings. It blocked the two quasi-sovereign weapons with its iron claws. ¡°Elder King! Accept your death!¡± Man Shen shouted and took a step forward, appearing in front of Qin Chen in an instant. He waved the huge axe in his hand and slashed it at Qin Chen with the power to destroy the world. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you?¡± Qin Chen shouted coldly and extended his hand. The Desolate Divine Halberd appeared out of thin air. Facing such a powerful attack from Man Shen, Qin Chen did not hold back anymore. He activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might and struck out the first strike of the Eight Desolation Strikes, Desolate Destruction! A horizontal sweep cut through the void, leaving a half-moon sword attack in the air that collided with the giant axe. The terrifying power arrived in an instant. Man Shen cried out in surprise and was sent flying again. A shocking wound appeared on his chest. His Supreme Sage blood flowed and his aura became weak. ¡°Your Highness Man Shen!¡± A shout was heard and a servant ran over from afar. He guarded Man Shen behind him and looked at Qin Chen with fear. ¡°Man Shen, a wise man knows when to back out. Let¡¯s retreat first.¡± Man Shen roared. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do to Qin Chen now. From the beginning of the confrontation, he had been suppressed by Qin Chen. Even with his trump card, he was not Qin Chen¡¯s opponent at all. If he continued to fight, he would most likely be killed. ¡°You want to escape? No way,¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly and waved the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand again, striking out the second strike of the Eight Desolation Strikes, Desolate Killing! With one strike, the void shattered and a crescent moon-shaped sword attack rushed toward Man Shen with great power. Man Shen¡¯s eyes darkened. He could only brace himself and meet the attack with his axe. ¡°Pfft!¡± Man Shen coughed out a mouthful of blood. Although he had blocked Qin Chen¡¯s attack, he had paid an unimaginable price. His left hand was chopped into pieces, turning into a mince of blood and flesh. ¡°Elder King! I, Man Shen, will remember this and pay you back double in the future!¡± With a roar, Man Shen did not dare to stay any longer. He used his escape supernormal knowledge and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight along with his servant. Huang Yang and Duo Tianzi¡¯s expressions changed when they saw this. Qin Chen¡¯s strength had completely exceeded their expectations. Since Man Shen had been defeated, they naturally did not dare to stay any longer. Without any hesitation, they retrieved their quasi-ancient emperor weapons and left with their servants. ¡°Such cowards. They run so fast!¡± Qin Chen cursed. The three of them were all ancient princes. If they ran with all their might, he would not be able to stop them. Thus, he could only grumble. When the onlookers saw this, all of them took in a sharp intake of cold air. The battle prowess that the Elder King had displayed had once again shocked them. ¡°Gulp, he forced back three ancient princes by himself. Is the Elder King actually a young great emperor?¡± Someone said. ¡°Isn¡¯t the Elder King too ridiculously strong? Are there any other talents who can fight him?¡± ¡°The human race is really lucky. To think they produced such an impressive figure like the Elder King.¡± ¡°Elder King is too strong! Is he really a member of the younger generation?¡± Someone questioned. The combat strength that Elder King displayed was too terrifying. Some even doubted if Elder King was a talent of the younger generation. At this moment, Qin Chen had already put away the Desolate Divine Halberd and the Five Feathers Fan. He then looked at Ling Ran, who was not far away. When he saw her pale face, a wave of killing intent suddenly erupted from his body. Qin Chen looked at the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races and said coldly, ¡°Since your ancient princes have run away, you¡¯ll have to pay for the debt they owe!¡± Chapter 229 - 229 Extort 229 Extort Sensing Qin Chen¡¯s killing intent, the group of geniuses from the ten thousand ancient races all paled. They knew that this was bad. Being targeted by a terrifying expert like this would definitely not end well. The geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races laughed bitterly, ¡± Elder King, those three have nothing to do with us. Please be magnanimous and let us go.¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re not related just because you say so? Aren¡¯t the ten thousand ancient races very united?¡± Qin Chen asked coldly. He had no intention of letting these people off the hook. When the group heard this, their faces turned rather ugly. The Elder King¡¯s words meant that he would not let them off! The geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were all sullen. They didn¡¯t have the ancient princes¡¯ combat power, nor did they have the guts to go against the Elder King. If the Elder King wanted to deal with them, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. ¡°Elder King, we really have nothing to do with those three lords. Please don¡¯t drag others into this,¡± A genius of the ten thousand ancient races said softly, worried that the Elder King would vent his anger on them. Qin Chen narrowed his eyes. That was exactly what he was thinking. His Supreme Sage might erupted as he said in a deep voice, ¡°Your ancient princes have bullied someone under me. Now that they have run away, I can only settle the score with you.¡± ¡°Elder King, what do you mean? Don¡¯t go too far! The sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang have already been revived. If you continue to target us, you will be dealt with!¡± A genius of the ten thousand ancient races couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He used the sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang to threaten Qin Chen. The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose and a smile appeared on his face. He was worried that these people would beg for mercy, leaving him with no way to deal with them. However, seeing that they were still so confident and arrogant, he was completely relieved. With a look of disdain, he snorted, ¡°If they want to settle the score with me, they can just come. But for now, you should think about yourself!¡± ¡°Elder King, you¡¯ve gone too far. I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯re a match for so many of us!¡± One of the talents shouted coldly and took out his Supreme Sage weapon, which exploded with a powerful aura. At the same time, the others also took out their trump cards, wanting to join forces to deal with Qin Chen. ¡°Good! Come!¡± Qin Chen shouted. Since they were the ones who attacked first, there was no need for him to show any mercy. He turned his hand and struck out an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. A huge hand fell from the sky, and the terrifying aura shattered his opponent¡¯s joint attack. They were enveloped by the huge hand, and they had no power to fight back. After truly exchanging blows, the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races all had looks of despair on their faces. Such invincible combat power was not something they could withstand at all. ¡°Elder King! Please show mercy! What do you want for you to let us go?¡± One of the talents shouted. They could only give in to Elder King¡¯s terrifying combat strength. Hearing this, Qin Chen raised his hand and the giant hand in the sky did not continue to fall. However, it did not disappear either. It continued to suppress the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Since someone under me has been injured, shouldn¡¯t you guys help your ancient princes compensate? I don¡¯t ask for much, just a Sage King weapon and a Supreme Sage pill each. You are all geniuses of your respective races, so you should be able to afford these, right?¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the faces of the talents turned green. The current scene was just like the scene back in Yinyue City. However, at that time, it was the patriarchs who were being extorted by Qin Chen. Now, it was the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ talents. ¡°Damn it! The Elder King¡¯s actions are simply too much! Isn¡¯t he afraid of being suppressed by the ten thousand ancient races?¡± ¡°The Elder King isn¡¯t afraid at all. After all, as long as the God realm experts don¡¯t make a move, who can do anything to him? Even if a God realm expert were to make a move, they might not be able to kill him. You should know that the Elder King has the entire human race and the demon god race behind him.¡± ¡°Are we really going to be extorted by him like this?¡± ¡°Sigh! Don¡¯t you see the supernormal knowledge in the air? If you don¡¯t want to live, you don¡¯t have to be extorted by the Elder King.¡± ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s all because of those three ancient princes. To think they dared to provoke the Elder King and are now dragging us into this.¡± The geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were full of complaints. They no longer blamed Qin Chen, but Man Shen, Duo Tianzi, and Huang Ri. Their tone was also not as respectful as before. ¡°Hurry up! I don¡¯t have all day,¡± Qin Chen yawned and impatiently urged. The talents gritted their teeth in anger. However, due to Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying strength, they could only admit defeat. They took out Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage pills, then threw them into Qin Chen¡¯s hands. After getting the items, Qin Chen did not continue to make things difficult for these talents. With a wave of his hand, the giant hand in the air disappeared. When the group saw this, they did not hesitate to run away from this place, afraid that they would be extorted by Qin Chen again. Qin Chen ignored them and landed in front of Ling Ran. He gave Ling Ran the Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage pills that he extorted just now and asked with a concerned expression, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°What?¡± Ling Ran looked puzzled. Then, she blushed and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine. Wouldn¡¯t it be too much of a waste to give these things to me?¡± ¡°Although these things are useless, they can be exchanged for some things. For your trip to Chiyang Heaven this time, the Taiyi Holy Land has nothing to give you, so you can take these things with you!¡± Qin Chen snorted. These Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage pills were not worthy of his attention. If it were not for the fact that he had to leave his Supreme Sage weapons to the human race in case the primordial sage race retaliated, he would have given all twenty of his Supreme Sage weapons to Ling Ran. When the surrounding people heard Qin Chen¡¯s words, they all had the urge to vomit blood. One must know that those were Sage King weapons and Supreme Sage pills that were hard to find! If they were in the outside world, these items would attract countless people to fight over them. Yet in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, they were just a pile of useless things! ¡°Hahaha! The Elder King is truly extraordinary, I¡¯m Ji Daozi, greetings!¡± Ji Daozi laughed out loud. He felt that Qin Chen was very interesting. Qin Chen looked at Ji Daozi and couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. He couldn¡¯t see through Ji Daozi¡¯s cultivation. With his strength, even a God realm expert might not be able to hide his cultivation in front of him. This showed how extraordinary Ji Daozi was. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re being too polite. I still have to thank you for saving Ling Ran,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands in response. He had left a restriction on Ling Ran so that he would be able to sense it when her life was in danger. When Man Shen attacked Ling Ran earlier and activated the restriction left behind by Qin Chen, he had also seen the scene of Ji Daozi saving Ling Ran. When she heard what Qin Chen said, Ling Ran, who was standing beside him, looked puzzled. She asked softly, ¡°Elder King, how did you know that it was Daoist Ji who saved me?¡± Chapter 230 - 230 Starting the Bet 230 Starting the Bet Qin Chen was at a loss for words, and his expression became awkward. He had secretly placed a restriction on Ling Ran, and she did not know about it. Now that Ling Ran had asked him, it was a little difficult for him to answer. Pretending to be calm, he coughed and replied in a deep voice, ¡°I was inevitably a little worried about you going to Tianxia City alone, so I placed a restriction on you. Don¡¯t worry though, this restriction will only be triggered when you¡¯re in a life-and-death situation.¡± Ling Ran¡¯s expression froze, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She did not expect that Elder King would care so much about her. She was secretly happy and turned her head away, not saying anything more. When Ji Daozi saw this, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said, ¡°Elder King, since we¡¯re already at Tianxia City, why don¡¯t we go in and take a look?¡± Qin Chen looked at Tianxia City and nodded in agreement. After he healed Cao Xiuxiu and the others, he brought Ling Ran and Ji Daozi into the city. Seeing the three enter the city, Ji Xuan and the other talents of the human race did not fall behind and entered Tianxia City one after another. Immediately after, the other talents also moved and headed toward the city. Tianxia City wasn¡¯t very big, but it was very lively. The residence of the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s five elders was filled with people every day, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the elegant demeanor of Dao Ming and the other four. As the talents entered the city one after another, all the taverns in Tianxia City were filled to the brim, becoming the gathering place for the talents. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the human Elder King from the Canglan Continent has entered the city. I wonder if he¡¯ll be competing with us for the quota to enter Chiyang Heaven.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Elder King say that he wouldn¡¯t go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being? Since he¡¯s already said so, he probably won¡¯t.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Elder King suppressed three ancient princes outside the city. You must know that the ancient princes are comparable to the sons of great emperors!¡± ¡°What? The Elder King¡¯s strength is actually that strong?¡± All the taverns were flooded with heated discussions about the Elder King. The story of the Elder King suppressing three ancient princes had spread all across the streets and alleys. Many people compared the Elder King to the young great emperors, and their eyes were full of admiration. The five from the Mansion of Heavenly Dao also heard these comments. In the room, an elder suddenly spoke, ¡°Before the other eight Heavens arrive, we must bring the Elder King to the Chiyang Heaven. He will become the hope for the rise of the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We paid a huge price to come to the ten lands early. We must bring all the geniuses back. Only then will it be worth the price we paid,¡± Another elder spoke. When Dao Ming heard this, he snorted softly, ¡°I know. I will definitely bring the Elder King to the Chiyang Heaven.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ming disappeared from where he was. In a tavern, Qin Chen was drinking with Ji Daozi. He hadn¡¯t the slightest inkling that the Heavenly Dao Mansion had its eyes on him. ¡°Fellow Daoist¡¯s combat strength is unrivaled and I am truly impressed,¡± Ji Daozi complimented him and drank the wine in his cup in one go. Qin Chen shook his head and smiled. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Daoist Ji, you¡¯re flattering me. They said that you¡¯re the son of the Ji family that could rival the great emperors 10000 years ago. I think your strength is truly unfathomable.¡± Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Ji Daozi suddenly became alert and immediately denied it, ¡°Fellow Daoist, the son of the Ji family disappeared 10000 years ago. How could it be me?¡± Qin Chen took a deep look at Ji Daozi, his gaze somewhat obscure. Although Ji Daozi denied that he was the son of the Ji family, Qin Chen¡¯s intuition told him that the other party was not telling the truth. He was very likely the person who dared to fight with the great emperors ten thousand years ago. ¡°Human Elder King! I¡¯m the number one genius of the Wangu Continent, Gu Tianhen. I heard that the Elder King¡¯s strength is extraordinary, so I¡¯m here to seek your guidance!¡± A shout came from outside the tavern. a man with long hair and a heavy sword on his back stood outside the tavern, cupping his hands while asking to challenge the Elder King. When everyone saw this, they all looked at the man. When they found that the man had the cultivation of the Supreme Sage realm, their eyes were full of fear. ¡°Who is that? To think he dares to challenge the Elder King. Is he seeking death?¡± ¡°Hey! Gu Tianhen is the number one genius and the number one martial arts fanatic in the Wangu Continent. I knew that he would definitely come to challenge the Elder King.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that Gu Tianhen only spent 500 years to become a Sage. Furthermore, he cultivates the sword path that has the most powerful offensive abilities. He and Elder King are both in the Supreme Sage realm. He might have a chance of winning.¡± ¡°The Elder King is an existence that could suppress three ancient princes. No matter how heaven-defying Gu Tianhen is, he will still be reduced to a supporting character.¡± ¡°The bet on the battle outcome between the Elder King and Gu Tianhen has been opened. The odds are one to twenty!¡± A fat man suddenly shouted and placed a large cloth on the table. To think he was running a bet on Qin Chen and Gu Tianheng. ¡°Hmph, you dare to use the number one genius of the Wangu Continent to start a bet. You¡¯re courting death!¡± One of the talents from the Wangu Continent shouted and struck out a supernormal knowledge towards the fatty. ¡°Eh? I¡¯m running my bet, so what does it have to do with you? Get lost!¡± The fat man snorted coldly. With a belly full of flab, he raised his hand and slapped the elite away. ¡°Gosh! Who is this fatty? He¡¯s actually so powerful?¡± ¡°Damn, why is this fatty here? It¡¯s so embarrassing.¡± ¡°I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s the number one genius of the Qingyu Continent, Fatty Lu. No wonder he dares to start a bet here.¡± ¡°God how unfortunate! The Qingyu Continent is one of the top five continents, but our number one genius is a gambler. It¡¯s really embarrassing.¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s words, Fatty Lu¡¯s eyes darkened. He unleashed his level 9 Sage King might and growled, ¡°I run my bet and what does it have to do with you? If you want to bet, then bet. If you don¡¯t, then shut up.¡± ¡°Hahaha! I like this temper of his. I want to place a bet. I bet 50 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source that Gu Tianhen will be able to withstand ten moves from the Elder King!¡± ¡°Hmph! The Elder King¡¯s battle power is unrivaled. Can Gu Tianheng even last ten moves? I¡¯ll bet 25 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source on the Elder King!¡± ¡°Gu Tianhen is the number one talent in the Wangu Continent. No matter how powerful the Elder King is, he won¡¯t be able to finish Gu Tianhen in 10 moves. I bet 250 kilograms of Divine Spirit Souce on Gu Tianhen!¡± ¡°I bet 50 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The people started to gamble and in a short while, Fatty Lu¡¯s big cloth bag was full. In just a short while, he had collected more than 5000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. At this moment, Gu Tianhen, who was standing outside the tavern, spoke again, ¡°I am Gu Tianhen. Elder King, please enlighten me!¡± Ji Daozi looked at Qin Chen and said softly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, this person is a martial arts fanatic. I¡¯m afraid you have to accept the challenge.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen immediately stood up and looked at Gu Tianhen, who was standing outside the door. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Come and fight!¡± Chapter 231 - 231 God 231 God-demon Body Qin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, acting like a master as he confronted Gu Tianhen, who was standing outside the tavern. ¡°Please give me some pointers!¡± Gu Tianhen cupped his hands and pulled out his heavy sword. As soon as the heavy sword was drawn, it brought huge pressure on everyone. Even the air was slit. A Supreme Sage might could be felt as Gu Tianhen activated his supernormal knowledge. Sword energy filled the tavern. Gu Tianhen raised his sword and struck out. Heaven and Earth trembled as the tavern was enveloped by the sword energy. The tables and chairs were all shattered. if it wasn¡¯t for the array patterns that reinforced the other places, the entire tavern would have been destroyed by this aura. ¡°Slash!¡± Gu Tianhen roared as his sword drew a half-moon-shaped sword energy in the air. The void was sliced apart as a hundred-meter-long sword energy shot out. It destroyed everything in its path. ¡°You¡¯re going to tear down this tavern! The tavern owner didn¡¯t offend you, so you better stop!¡± Qin Chen snorted and struck out with the rule of force, subduing the sword energy. Then, chains of the Great Path struck out, shattering the sword energy in the tavern, saving it from destruction in Gu Tianhen¡¯s hands. ¡°Although this place is supported by an array, we can¡¯t go all out. Let¡¯s go up to the sky!¡± Gu Tianhen held his heavy sword and said. Then, he took a step forward and appeared in the sky. Qin Chen didn¡¯t waste any time either. He also took a step forward and arrived above Tianxia City. He said softly, ¡°Come on, let me see what you¡¯re capable of.¡± ¡°Demon God Slash!¡± Gu Tianhen roared. His heavy sword was surrounded by demonic energy as it sliced through the void. Such a powerful strike shocked everyone watching. ¡°You do have some ability, but you¡¯re still not my opponent,¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed as he unleashed the might of the Chaotic Holy Body. The Great Paths buzzed. Since Heaven and Earth were restored, the Chaotic Holy Body¡¯s might was fully unleashed. Qin Chen¡¯s physical body alone was enough to deal with a level 5 Supreme Sage. His Chaotic Holy Body became extremely terrifying as he punched out heavily. The terrifying aura froze the sword energy in the air. As his fist landed, the sword energy was shattered and turned into nothingness. ¡°Ha! As expected of the Elder King, he was able to neutralize this attack so easily. Gu Tianhen is already at his wit¡¯s end, how can he last for ten moves?¡± ¡°Fatty Lu, can we still place bets? I bet 500 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source that Gu Tianheng will lose in 10 moves.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet 500 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source that Gu Tianheng will lose in 10 moves too.¡± ¡°Hmph, no matter what, Gu Tianhen is still the number one genius of the Wangu Continent. How could he not even take ten moves from the Elder King? I bet 5000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source that Gu Tianhen will be able to take ten moves from the Elder King,¡± A demon with a scorpion head walked out. With a wave of his hand, he took out 5000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source, which shocked everyone. ¡°Where did this demon race come from? Can¡¯t he see the current situation? He¡¯s truly a rich fool!¡± ¡°To think even a demon race¡¯s expert is here. It seems like he doesn¡¯t understand how terrifying the Elder King is!¡± ¡°The outcome of the battle has been decided. To actually bet on Gu Tianhen at this time, you are really courting death!¡± ¡°If you want to give away money, you can just run your own betting pool. Why do you need to bet with others?¡± Hearing everyone¡¯s words, the big scorpion¡¯s eyes flashed with joy. He then took out 500000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source source and shouted, ¡°Since everyone is so insistent, then I will start a bet. Let¡¯s bet on whether Gu Tianhen can last 10 moves against the Elder King. If he can¡¯t, then the odds will be 1:100. The starting bet will be 5000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source!¡± ¡°Hmph, he really is giving out money! I¡¯ll bet 50000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. If you can¡¯t compensate me, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet 25000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. I¡¯d like to see who gave you the confidence to offer such odds.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet 50000!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet 25000!¡± The crowd was extremely lively as they took out all their Divine Spirit Sources to participate in the bet. In just a short while, the big scorpion had received over half a million kilograms of Divine Spirit Source, and a few of his storage rings were filled to the brim. ¡°Little ancestor, based on Elder King¡¯s strength, Gu Tianhen won¡¯t be able to last ten moves. Why don¡¯t we bet a few tens of thousands of pounds of Divine Spirit Source?¡± When Ji Xuan saw the 1:100 odds, he was also quite tempted. Therefore, he told Ji Daozi about it and also wanted to participate in the bet. ¡°No need, we¡¯ll just enjoy the show,¡± Ji Daozi shook his head, a meaningful smile on his face. Seeing this, Ji Xuan frowned and looked a little displeased. Even though he was rejected by Ji Daozi, he still sneaked over to the big scorpion and placed a bet of 25000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. After placing their bets, everyone looked up at the sky. Most of them had bet their entire savings and all of them had great hopes for the Elder King. After the test, the two of them had already exchanged three moves. Gu Tianhen had used all his strength in these three moves, but Qin Chen seemed to be very relaxed as if he did not use much strength. ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re very powerful. I¡¯ll be going all out from now on and might not be able to hold back. So, you have to be careful,¡± Gu Tianhen snorted and his heavy sword burst out with holy light. The holy light and demonic energy intertwined, looking very strange. It wasn¡¯t just the heavy sword. Gu Tianhen¡¯s body was also emitting demonic energy and holy light. Sometimes, he looked like a god, sometimes like a demonic god. His aura was extremely terrifying. ¡°Is this the legendary God-demon Body?¡± Someone exclaimed as he recognized Gu Tianheng¡¯s physique. The God-demon Body was even more terrifying than the Zixia Divine Body. One with the former physique could cultivate divine and demon cultivation techniques at the same time and have monstrous combat power. There were ancient records that said that someone with a God-demon Body had once defeated a young great emperor. ¡°No way! Gu Tianhen actually has the God-demon Body. I feel like I¡¯m going to lose everything!¡± ¡°So what if he has the God-demon Body? the Elder King¡¯s physique isn¡¯t simple either. Although it¡¯s hidden by the myriad paths, it can still be seen that the Elder King¡¯s physique isn¡¯t any weaker than the God-demon Body.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Elder King¡¯s combat power is unrivaled. Even the three ancient princes suffered at his hands. How can a mere God-demon body do anything to him?¡± the group of people snorted. Even though Gu Tianheng had unleashed his God-demon Body, it still didn¡¯t diminish their confidence in the Elder King. In the sky, Gu Tianhen was accumulating his power. His aura continued to rise, and his killing intent became increasingly terrifying. His eyes were bloodshot as if he couldn¡¯t control the God-demon Body and had lost his mind. ¡°Elder King, this is my strongest attack. Take it!¡± Gu Tianhen roared as demonic energy and holy light shrouded half of the sky. He swung his heavy sword, bringing with it a monstrous sword energy. A full-moon-shaped sword energy appeared in the sky as he slashed out a strike that even a level 9 Supreme Sage would have to fear. The sword energy swept across the sky and shattered thousands of paths. Heaven and Earth resonated. Even after being restored, Heaven and Earth still trembled under such a terrifying attack. The spectators were also affected. Many talents with insufficient cultivation were seriously injured on the spot and coughed out mouthfuls of blood. Someone exclaimed, ¡°Can the Elder King block such a terrifying attack?¡± Chapter 232 - 232 Scheme 232 Scheme ¡°Elder King, you must block it! I¡¯ve bet all my assets on you!¡± ¡°The God-demon Body has extraordinary combat power. The Elder King might not be able to defeat him in ten moves. ¡± ¡°Tch! Didn¡¯t you hear Gu Tianhen say that this was his strongest attack? As long as the Elder King blocks it, Gu Tianhen will probably admit defeat!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. As long as the Elder King can withstand this move, the 1:100 odds will be in my pocket,¡± Someone laughed out loud, like a gambler who had given up everything and placed all his hope on Qin Chen. In the sky, facing such a terrifying attack from Gu Tianhen, Qin Chen¡¯s expression did not change. If Heaven and Earth had not been restored, he might have felt a little troubled. But after Heaven and Earth were restored, his combat strength had increased greatly. He had several ways to block such an attack. The Chaotic Holy Body was awoken. Thousands of paths buzzed and terrifying blood energy shattered the void. The rule of force was circulated. Qin Chen could shatter Heaven and Earth with a raise of his hand with his extremely terrifying might. ¡°Demonize!¡± Qin Chen snorted, and his blood energy became ten times stronger. He was like a true Immemorial Dragon. Just by standing there in the air, he brought people great pressure, and they did not even have the courage to look straight at him. When Ji Daozi saw this, his gaze became complicated. He could see the figure of that person in Qin Chen, the person who had blocked his emperor¡¯s path. ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± Qin Chen roared in a low voice and waved his hand. With that, a huge hand seemed to fall from the starry sky. The power of the huge hand was extremely terrifying. Under the pressure, Tianxia City was trembling. It was comparable to the attack of a God realm expert. Everyone watching the battle was shocked by the power. All of them used their Sagely mights to defend themselves so that they wouldn¡¯t be affected. At the same time, light burst out from the City Lord¡¯s mansion, and the city¡¯s defensive array was activated, barely blocking the power of the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint. ¡°Suppress!¡± Qin Chen shouted as the huge hand in the air slapped onto the sword energy. In just a single exchange, the sword energy was shattered into spiritual energy fragments. Gu Tianhen was also forced back and coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was seriously injured. Seeing this scene, Qin Chen cursed in his heart. He hurriedly retracted his hand, and the giant palm in the air dissipated. The pressure also receded like a tide, and everyone¡¯s faces became excited. ¡°Hahahaha! as expected of the Elder King! He¡¯s so terrifying. 1:100, what a huge profit!¡± ¡°I put too little in, too little! If I had known this would happen, I would have bet my Supreme Sage weapon too!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve earned money, a huge gain! I don¡¯t even know how to spend it.¡± ¡°Demon race¡¯s Supreme Sage, victory and defeat have been decided. The Elder King only used four moves to defeat Gu Tianhen. Shouldn¡¯t you give me my Divine Spirit Source already?¡± ¡°Hurry up and give me my Divine Spirit Source! I¡¯ve already prepared all ten storage rings!¡± When the group of people saw the result, they surrounded the big scorpion. They were all afraid that he would run away because he did not have any Divine Spirit Source to pay. The big scorpion crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a calm expression, and said softly, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Isn¡¯t Gu Tianhen not defeated yet? What, you want to rob me?¡± A Supreme Sage¡¯s might came from the big scorpion¡¯s body. Everyone looked fearful and didn¡¯t dare to provoke him. At the same time, Gu Tianhen, who was in the sky, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and put away his heavy sword. Just as he was about to admit defeat, Qin Chen suddenly appeared in front of him and struck his chest with his palm. Gu Tianhen¡¯s hair stood on end and his nerves quickly tensed up. His God-demon Body burst out and he also struck out a palm, miraculously sending Qin Chen flying. Without waiting for Gu Tianhen to react, Qin Chen appeared behind him once again. Once again, he used the same technique and struck out a palm that did not even hurt. Gu Tianhen was dumbfounded, not knowing what Qin Chen was up to. However, due to his body¡¯s instinctive reaction, he sent another palm strike at Qin Chen, forcing him back. Qin Chen still did not stop. In the blink of an eye, Qin Chen had already sent out dozens of palm strikes toward Gu Tianhen. However, each palm strike contained no power as they were all repelled by Gu Tianhen. The big scorpion looked at this scene and smiled. He said to everyone, ¡°Everyone, the result is out. The Elder King has already used ten moves and thus Gu Tianhen has won the bet. I¡¯m sorry everyone, but I won in the end.¡± Seeing the big scorpion¡¯s despicable appearance, everyone was furious. Everything happened too quickly, and their intuition told them that they had been tricked by Elder King and the big scorpion! ¡°Damn, wasn¡¯t the Elder King already sure of victory? Why is he still attacking? Moreover, he¡¯s holding back in every move.¡± ¡°This is a scheme. It¡¯s definitely a scheme. Who can tell me why?¡± ¡°My entire net worth! It¡¯s gone just like that? Give me back my Divine Spirit Source or I will fight you to the death!¡± One of the talents shouted at the big scorpion. He attacked the big scorpion without caring about anything else. However, the difference in strength between the two of them was too big. As soon as they exchanged blows, he was sent flying by the big scorpion¡¯s punch. ¡°If you lose the bet, so be it. To think you dared to find trouble with me. You¡¯re really courting death,¡± the big scorpion snorted coldly, and the aura of a level 6 Supreme Sage erupted from his body. Everyone was shocked, and they didn¡¯t dare to find trouble with him again. Ji Xuan¡¯s eyes narrowed and he snorted, ¡°This is obviously a trap set up by him and the Elder King. How shameless.¡± ¡°Ji Xuan, I¡¯ve told you before that we should just watch the show. You can¡¯t resist the temptation, so how can you blame others?¡± Ji Daozi barked at Ji Xuan. After hearing this, Ji Xuan did not say anything more. He only put on a sullen face and glared at Qin Chen and the big scorpion. In the sky, after a dozen moves, Qin Chen did not make any more moves. Instead, he turned to Gu Tianhen and said softly, ¡°I¡¯ve already seen through your strength in the few moves just now. You¡¯re not my opponent. It¡¯s better for you to admit defeat quickly.¡± ¡°Were you testing my strength just now?¡± Gu Tianhen¡¯s face was filled with confusion. One should know that he had wanted to admit defeat a long time ago. However, Qin Chen kept on attacking him, leaving him no chance to admit defeat. Qin Chen shook his head, ¡°Although you have the God-demon Body, you can¡¯t control it. You don¡¯t have the chance to defeat me. Just now, I was examining your body and finding a way to help you control your God-demon Body. if you trust me, you can talk to me in detail later.¡± ¡°What? You can help me control my God-demon Body?¡± Gu Tianhen exclaimed in shock and revealed an expression of disbelief. The God-demon Body that would make him go berserk had greatly reduced his combat power, but he had been helpless for so many years. He really didn¡¯t dare to believe that the Elder King would dare to say that he could help him control the God-demon Body! ¡°That¡¯s right. I do have a way to help you control your God-demon Body, but I have a condition,¡± Qin Chen said and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile. Chapter 233 - 233 Qin Chens Condition 233 Qin Chen¡¯s Condition As soon as Qin Chen finished speaking, the entire Tianxia City was in an uproar before Gu Tianhen could even respond. ¡°What does he mean by controlling the God-demon Body? No matter how I look at it, it¡¯s a scheme. After all, the Elder King tricked me!¡± ¡°Damn, that was all I have! The Elder King is too vicious.¡± ¡°Who can tell me, was the Elder King trying to investigate Gu Tianhen¡¯s body, or was he trying to trick us?¡± ¡°The Elder King clearly knows that we¡¯re betting that he will win, but he still used such a method to check on Gu Tianhen¡¯s body. There¡¯s no doubt that there¡¯s a scheme going on.¡± The talents who took part in the bet were complaining. However, due to Qin Chen and the big scorpion¡¯s terrifying strength, they only dared to complain verbally. No one dared to go to Qin Chen and the big scorpion for an explanation. At this moment, Gu Tianhen replied to Qin Chen, ¡°What are your conditions?¡± ¡°Come to me at night. I will tell you how to control the God-demon Body and my conditions. If you don¡¯t believe me, you don¡¯t have to come. However, I can guarantee that in the ten lands, other than me, no one can help you control the God-demon Body,¡± Qin Chen said. He didn¡¯t tell Gu Tianhen his condition immediately, keeping the latter in suspense instead. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go to you tonight,¡± Gu Tianhen snorted coldly and left. After Gu Tianhen left, Qin Chen also returned to the tavern. Along the way, he attracted the attention of many. The talents gritted their teeth and stared at him. If not for their lack of strength, they would have already attacked him. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you are really powerful. To think you have a way to control the God-demon Body. From what I know, there is only one way to do so, and that is to cultivate the God-demon Imperial Sutra created by Great Emperor Shen Mo. However, the God-demon Imperial Sutra has not appeared for 10000 years. Could it be in your hands?¡± Ji Daozi exclaimed and looked at Qin Chen in surprise. Although he had only interacted with Qin Chen for half a day, his intuition told him that the secrets this person was hiding were no less than his. Qin Chen was also quite surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Ji Daozi to know so much. As for the God-demon Imperial Sutra, he had naturally obtained it when he checked in at the great emperor¡¯s palace. To not expose his foundation, Qin Chen replied softly, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re flattering me. How could I have a treasure like the God-demon Imperial Sutra? It¡¯s just that I have some baseless information.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Ji Daozi smiled and didn¡¯t continue the topic. However, at this moment, Dao Ming¡¯s figure suddenly appeared in the sky above Tianxia City, instantly attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Tomorrow morning, the Heavenly Dao Mansion will begin to select the geniuses who will head to Chiyang Heaven. Anyone in the Sage realm with a bone age of not over 800 years old can participate in the selection. Only twenty people will be selected, and they will go with us to Chiyang Heaven in two days.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone became nervous. After all, there were only 20 spots. With so many talents in Tianxia City, it would not be easy to fight for a spot. ¡°With the Elder King, ancient princes, and the others around, our chances of passing the selection are slim. I can only hope that tomorrow¡¯s selection will be different so that we can have a glimmer of hope.¡± ¡°A sliver of hope? It¡¯s impossible. With the monstrous Elder King and the others around, we have no hope at all.¡± ¡°It seems like I came here in vain again. However, it¡¯s not a loss to be able to see so many monstrous geniuses.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t they offer more spots? If there are 20 more spots, I¡¯ll definitely be able to enter the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The discussion did not stop. Everyone¡¯s attention was on the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection tomorrow. Qin Chen also took the opportunity to bring Ling Ran back to their residence. When the two of them arrived at the inn, the big scorpion had long been waiting. He was leaning against the counter, playing with a spatial storage ring in his hand. Seeing the big scorpion, Qin Chen strode forward with a smug smile on his face. He said softly, ¡°How is it? We must have earned a lot this time! Give me my share.¡± ¡°Hehe, this time¡¯s harvest isn¡¯t small. We¡¯ve earned a total of 1.4 million kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. Here are your 7 million kilograms. I¡¯ve already prepared it for you,¡± The big scorpion replied with a smile, then threw a storage ring to Qin Chen. The storage ring contained exactly 7 million kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. ¡°7 million?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, ¡°We agreed that I¡¯ll take 70% and you¡¯ll take 30%. Why? Are you trying to take advantage of me?¡± ¡°Although your contribution is indeed greater than mine, my contribution wasn¡¯t small either. In line with the principle of fairness, let¡¯s split it 50-50!¡± The big scorpion rubbed his hands and said seriously. It was obvious that he wanted to take Qin Chen¡¯s twenty percent. Qin Chen gritted his teeth. He was not the type to suffer losses, so he immediately picked up the big scorpion and cursed, ¡°You¡¯ve grown some guts, huh? you even dared to swallow my Divine Spirit Source.¡± Ling Ran rolled her eyes when she saw that the two were arguing over the loot distribution. She ignored the two of them and walked back to her room with a speechless expression. As the saying goes, an arm can¡¯t win against a leg. Under the threat of Qin Chen¡¯s power, the big scorpion finally gave back 20% of the Divine Spirit Source to Qin Chen and returned to his room with a wronged expression. On the other hand, Qin Chen returned with a great victory. Although he had obtained a lot of Divine Spirit Sources from checking in, his cultivation required a large amount. The nearly 10 million kilograms of Divine Spirit Souce was something that he needed right now. Otherwise, he would not have been so calculative with the big scorpion. The night was hazy, and Tianxia City was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. All the talents could not sleep at all as they were preparing for the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection tomorrow. Qin Chen sat cross-legged on his bed and cultivated. A breeze blew and Gu Tianhen appeared by the window with a heavy sword on his back. ¡°Elder King, I¡¯m here. Speak, what are your conditions?¡± Gu Tianhen asked. Qin Chen stopped his cultivation and walked down from his bed. He looked at Gu Tianhen deeply and said softly, ¡°I hope that you can protect Ling Ran¡¯s safety in Chiyang Heaven.¡± ¡°You want me to protect Holy Lord Ling Ran? Are you really not planning to go to the Chiyang Heaven?¡± Gu Tianhen was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect the Elder King to not go to Chiyang Heaven. One should know that the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth in Chiyang Heaven was ten times that of the ten lands. The speed of cultivation there was also ten times that of the ten lands. No matter how monstrous the Elder King¡¯s talent was, if he didn¡¯t go to Chiyang Heaven, he would be overtaken by the other talents. Qin Chen raised his head and smiled while saying softly, ¡°I¡¯m just not going to Chiyang Heaven for the time being. So, I want you to help me protect Ling Ran before I do. As a reward, I¡¯ll give you the method to control the God-demon Body which will also increase your strength greatly.¡± Chapter 234 - 234 Spatial Pearl 234 Spatial Pearl ¡°Do you really have a way to help me control my God-demon Body? And it can even greatly increase my strength?¡± Gu Tianhen asked. His eyes were filled with doubt. He didn¡¯t really believe Qin Chen¡¯s words. After all, it wasn¡¯t easy to control the God-demon Body. He had been searching for such a method for hundreds of years to no avail. Looking at Gu Tianhen¡¯s reaction, Qin Chen gave him some proof by saying in a deep voice, ¡°Have you heard of the God-demon Imperial Sutra?¡± ¡°The God-demon Imperial Sutra! The sutra that was created by Great Emperor Shen Mo? Wasn¡¯t it already lost? How could you possibly have it?¡± Gu Tianhen exclaimed. As someone with the God-demon Body, he naturally knew about the God-demon Imperial Sutra. However, he also knew that the scripture had long been lost. Therefore, he did not believe Qin Chen¡¯s words. The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth rose, and a smile appeared. He tapped his finger, and spiritual energy flickered on his fingertip. Then, he wrote the opening chapter of the God-demon Imperial Sutra in the air. ¡°Both good and evil, both divine and demonic. It can control the divine and demonic paths and is comparable to the Divine Bodies and the Holy Bodies. That is the God-demon Body. It is both a disaster and a blessing. The god-demon path is one of the most powerful offensive Great Paths, but it¡¯s also one of the most difficult to control. To cultivate the God-demon Body, you need¡­¡± Gu Tianhen mumbled softly as he followed Qin Chen¡¯s words and started to circulate his energy. The God-demon Body in his body started to resonate and the divine and demonic energy in his body that had been devouring each other became harmonious. Half of Gu Tianhen¡¯s body was shrouded in demonic energy while the other half was shining with divine light. He looked even more amazing than he did during the day. ¡°It¡¯s really the God-demon Imperial Sutra! How did you get it? Did you dig up the tomb of Great Emperor Shen Mo?¡± Gu Tianhen was shocked by the benefits of the God-demon Imperial Sutra and was even more shocked that Qin Chen actually had it. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know how I got it. Just tell me, are you willing to agree to my conditions?¡± Qin Chen dispersed the words written by spiritual energy words and asked Gu Tianhen. Gu Tianhen¡¯s eyes narrowed. After a moment of hesitation, he frowned and asked, ¡°Why do you want me to protect Holy Lord Ling Ran? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I won¡¯t fulfill your condition after I agree?¡± ¡°Since ancient times, the people with the God-demon body have all been upright people, and I believe you are one of them. Moreover, there are not many who have the ability to protect Ling Ran. Among these people, you are the only one who has no enmity with me and will agree to it,¡± Qin Chen was very frank. He was not worried that Gu Tianhen would reject him because of this. After all, in the entire ten lands, he was the only one who was willing and had the ability to help Gu Tianhen control the God-demon Body. If Gu Tianhen didn¡¯t agree, even if he went to Chiyang Heaven, his cultivation might not improve. Therefore, Qin Chen was not worried that the other party would reject him. Just like Qin Chen had thought, Gu Tianhen had no way out. He could only agree to Qin Chen¡¯s condition. Otherwise, his path of cultivation would come to an end. If he continued to cultivate, he might even lose his life due to the loss of control of the God-demon Body without the sutra. After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Tianhen did not hesitate any longer. He immediately agreed and said in a deep voice, ¡°I agree to your condition. Before you come to Chiyang Heaven, I will use my life to protect Holy Leader Ling Ran.¡± ¡°Thank you. This is the God-demon Imperial Sutra that you need,¡± Qin Chen nodded. A beam of spiritual energy shot out from his finger and entered Gu Tianhen¡¯s mind. The God-demon Imperial Sutra appeared in the latter¡¯s mind, and his God-demon Body resonated with the sutra before starting to circulate on its own, emitting a terrifying aura. The Great Path buzzed, and two Great Path chains, one black and one golden, shot out from the void. They surrounded Gu Tianhen, making clanking sounds. This was a sign that Gu Tianhen¡¯s God-demon Body was recovering. A terrifying aura enveloped the inn. Many geniuses walked out of their rooms and looked at Qin Chen¡¯s residence. When they knew that it was the Elder King in the room, they returned to their rooms without any surprise. After all, it was the Elder King who was staying there! Not long after, the aura gradually receded. Gu Tianhen¡¯s eyes flew open. One of them turned black while the other was golden. It was a shocking sight. In just an instant, Gu Tianhen returned to normal and his terrifying aura completely disappeared. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the God-demon Imperial Sutra!¡± Gu Tianhen exclaimed then gave Qin Chen a deep bow and said, ¡°I can¡¯t thank you enough. I¡¯ll definitely accomplish what you¡¯ve asked me to do. ¡°Please do!¡± Qin Chen nodded his head. After giving a simple reply, Gu Tianhen left the room. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened. The night was peaceful. The next morning, Tianxia City was bustling with noise and excitement. The taverns and streets were filled with talents who were preparing for the selection with all their might. Everyone was brimming with a strong fighting spirit, and they were all determined to pass the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection and head to Chiyang Heaven. Dao Ming appeared in the sky as soon as it was seven o ¡®clock. He looked at the crowd and threw out 20 beads that contained dense spatial power. He said in a deep voice, ¡°The spatial pearls will be open for half a day, and after that, you can only leave and not enter. In the end, whoever can stay alone in the spatial pearls will be able to go to Chiyang Heaven and join the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°What is a spatial pearl? Is it very precious?¡± ¡°These spatial pearls contain an alternate dimension that is a few hundred square meters. They are also enhanced by God realm experts. Not only can living beings enter, but they can also fight in there. They are treasures that only exist in legends.¡± ¡°To think they are using such a treasure as the arena. The Heavenly Dao Mansion is really generous!¡± ¡°The spatial pearls will be open for half a day, which means that if we want to go to Chiyang Heaven, we have to stay in the spatial bead for at least half a day. If that¡¯s the case, then as long as the timing is right, we might have a chance.¡± The talents were extremely excited. Some were shocked by the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s generosity, while others were calculating when they should enter the pearls. ¡°I announce that the selection of the ten lands¡¯ geniuses has officially begun!¡± Dao Ming shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty people jumped and entered a spatial pearl together. With a flash of golden light, the scene inside the spatial pearl appeared in mid-air. After entering the spatial Pearl, these people did not start a fight. Instead, they formed a great killing array. The killing array was so powerful that even a Supreme Sage expert would have to retreat in fear. ¡°What are they doing? Are they going to join forces?¡± ¡°Those people seem to have come to the Jialuo continent. It seems that they want to send one genius of the Jialuo Continent to the Heavenly Dao Mansion at all costs.¡± ¡°That¡¯s cheating. Isn¡¯t it against the rules?¡± ¡°Elder Dao Ming didn¡¯t say anything, so it seems that they didn¡¯t break the rules. Is there anyone willing to form a team with me? After we occupy the spatial pearl, we¡¯ll fight based on our own abilities. What do you think?¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing!¡± ¡°I¡¯m also willing!¡± ¡­ With the people from the Jialuo Continent taking the lead, the others fought to follow suit. In just a moment, the twenty spatial pearls were occupied by hundreds of talents. Chapter 235 - 235 Secrets 235 Secrets Tianxia City! Many talents had formed groups and set up killing arrays in the spatial pearl together, so it was a headache for those who were still outside. Many were looking for allies to break the array. ¡°Does anyone want to join us? We already have four Sage Kings and an array master. With five more Sage Kings, we can occupy one spatial pearl!¡± ¡°Join us! We have a Supreme Sage leading us. We can definitely occupy a spatial pearl!¡± ¡°We only want Sages! We already have 20 Sages in the alliance. If we fight against the other geniuses together, we will have a chance to join the Heavenly Dao Mansion!¡± The hollers did not stop. Almost everyone was looking for teammates, but one tavern was the exception. Qin Chen, Ji Daozi, Ling Ran, and the Canglan Continent¡¯s talents were all gathered there. They watched the scene quietly, not in a hurry to enter the spatial pearl. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you staying here to help Holy Lord Ling Ran occupy a spatial pearl?¡± Ji Daozi asked softly. Qin Chen didn¡¯t try to hide anything and replied frankly, ¡°That¡¯s right. Although with Ling Ran¡¯s talent, she doesn¡¯t need me to do anything, we can¡¯t miss the opportunity to go to Chiyang Heaven. So, I must make sure that nothing goes wrong.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, please let me know which spatial peal you¡¯re choosing in advance. I don¡¯t want to fight with you over a spot,¡± Ji Daozi said with a smile. Qin Chen looked at the confident Ji Xuan and suddenly asked, ¡°Daoist Ji, are you doing this for yourself or the sake of your clansmen?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist has seen through me. You are right. I am here to help Ji Xuan enter Chiyang Heaven. As for myself, I have no plans to leave the ten lands for the time being,¡± Ji Daozi replied softly. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He had stayed here because he had the system, but what was Ji Daozi doing staying? Moreover, Mo Yuan didn¡¯t come either. Did he not plan to go to the nine Heavens? As he thought of this, Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly asked, ¡°Fellow Daoist, can you tell me why you are staying in the ten lands? Is there any benefit to staying?¡± Hearing this, Ji Daozi¡¯s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He then transmitted his voice, ¡°Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t you know that after the return of Heaven and Earth, the forbidden grounds will also appear? Furthermore, the other factions of the 8 Heavens will also come to the 10 lands, so there¡¯s no need to rush.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen understood. This was the first time he had heard of such a secret. If what Ji Daozi said was true, then it might not be a good thing to go to the Chiyang Heaven now. He would lose a lot of opportunities. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard of it before? Moreover, no one in the Heavenly Dao Mansion has mentioned it either,¡± Qin Chen asked via voice transmission. Ji Daozi replied secretly, ¡°Chiyang Heaven is considered the weakest among the nine Heavens. I believe the Heavenly Dao Mansion has paid a great price to come to the ten lands early this time. Naturally, they won¡¯t say these things and give the geniuses of the ten lands other choices. As for those who know these secrets, they won¡¯t risk offending the Heavenly Dao Mansion by announcing it to the public.¡± Hearing Ji Daozi¡¯s words, Qin Chen finally understood. The Heavenly Dao Mansion wanted to bring all the most outstanding geniuses of the ten lands into Chiyang Heaven, which was why they didn¡¯t mention the other eight Heavens. They were indeed very scheming. Since that was the case, Qin Chen was also full of hesitation about Ling Ran going to Chiyang Heaven. Therefore, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Ling Ran and told her everything, wanting to know her thoughts. Ling Ran¡¯s expression froze when she received the message. She looked a little surprised. After some hesitation, she still decided to go to Chiyang Heaven. After all, with her cultivation realm, it would be very difficult for her to obtain great opportunities in the forbidden grounds. In that case, she might as well enter the nine Heavens as soon as possible. Perhaps her cultivation could be improved faster there. After getting Ling Ran¡¯s reply, Qin Chen expressed his understanding. Besides, the forbidden grounds were very dangerous, and he was not very willing to let Ling Ran go either. So, when he knew that Ling Ran had decided to go to Chiyang Heaven, he was actually a lot more at ease. Time passed quickly, and there was not much time left of the half-day time limit. During this period, the lineup in the spatial pearl had changed several times, but no matter which group, after occupying the spatial pearl, all of them would lay down a monstrous array. Even a Supreme Sage might not be able to easily break into the twenty spaces. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t we take action so that we don¡¯t block the way of the other fellow Daoists?¡± Ji Daozi snorted. The other fellow Daoists he was talking about were naturally Cao Xiuxiu, Qin Tao, and others. To avoid fighting with the Elder King and Ji Daozi, they had been waiting for the two to make a move before deliberately avoiding them. Qin Chen nodded, then stood up at the same time as Ji Daozi. Each of them chose a spatial pearl, and their Supreme Sage might burst out as they charged in aggressively. After seeing Qin Chen and Ji Daozi move, Man Shen, Huang Yang, and Duo Tianzi, who had been hiding in the dark, also appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. They each entered a spatial pearl. At the same time, Gu Tianhen and the other human talents from the Canglan Continent also moved. Other than Gu Tianhen, the other talents formed groups of three and entered different spatial pearls. The others did not stay idle either. Without the threat from Qin Chen and the others, the spatial pearls they could choose were clear and they entered them. After entering the spatial pearl, Qin Chen was enveloped by a great killing array set up by 30 Sages. The killing array was activated, and a monstrous killing light burst out. Terrifying attacks were launched at Qin Chen with terrifying power. The Chaotic Holy Body showed its might. The Great Path buzzed as the rule of force was circulated and Qin Chen struck out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist which directly dispersed the attack. Then, he shouted in a deep voice, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m taking this spatial pearl. It¡¯s not time yet, so you¡¯d better change to another one!¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s the Elder King! We¡¯re so unlucky!¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s the Elder King? We have the killing array and so many people. The Elder King might not be able to stop our attack.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be silly, that¡¯s the Elder King! What chance do we have now that he¡¯s here? We should get out of here quickly. Perhaps we can make it to the other spatial pearls.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the other spatial pearls have already been occupied by others. With just us, even if we go out, we will only have a slim chance of winning. Why don¡¯t we fight to the death? Maybe we still have a chance here!¡± after knowing that the intruder was Qin Chen, the faces of those in the spatial pearl turned extremely ugly. Some escaped straight away from the spatial pearl, but some were prepared to fight to the death with Qin Chen! Looking at the remaining dozen or so people and the array that did not pose much of a threat to him, Qin Chen frowned. He did not want to bully the weak, so he spoke again, ¡°Everyone, have you thought it through? There¡¯s still time to leave now. Otherwise, you really won¡¯t have any chance to enter Chiyang Heaven.¡± Chapter 236 - 236 Meeting the Three Ancient Princes Again 236 Meeting the Three Ancient Princes Again The Elder King¡¯s voice reverberated in the spatial pearl. The group¡¯s faces turned ugly. After all, they were all only Sages. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or combat power, they were not on the same level as the Elder King. Now that they were going to fight the Elder King, how could they not be afraid? ¡°Why don¡¯t we leave? We might have a chance if we go to the other spatial pearls now.¡± ¡°Come on! I¡¯m sure there¡¯s an array in the other spatial pearls as well. With our strength, don¡¯t you think we¡¯ll be cannon fodder?¡± ¡°But what¡¯s the difference between staying here and fighting the Elder King and being cannon fodder?¡± ¡°Stop arguing, everyone. As long as we work together to activate the array, we might have a chance of winning.¡± The talents in the center of the array shouted, barely calming everyone¡¯s hearts. More than a dozen Sages activated the killing array together, wanting to rely on it to fight Qin Chen. Seeing this, Qin Chen shook his head secretly. He thought to himself, ¡°These people are really unlucky to have met me.¡± The Chaotic Holy Body and the rule of force were activated at the same time. He punched out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. Sagely might hit, and the array shattered on the spot, turning into spiritual energy fragments. The dozen or so Sages were all sent flying with horror and thrown out of the spatial pearl. Outside, more than a dozen Sages were thrown out of the spatial pearl they had been in at the same time. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. They exclaimed in their hearts, ¡°As expected of the Elder King. He only went in for a short while and already cleared everyone out.¡± At the same time, the spatial pearl Ji Daozi was in was also cleared out. After everyone saw this, they all had a whole new level of respect for Ji Daozi, as well as a trace of fear in their hearts. The battle situation in the other spatial pearls was similar. After the ancient princes and the other talents entered the battlefield, the other spatial pearls were also cleared. When half a day was almost over, Ling Ran and Ji Xuan moved at the same time and entered the spatial pearls occupied by Qin Chen and Ji Daozi respectively. As soon as the two of them entered the spatial pearls, three geniuses from the giant race, the primordial phoenix race, and the skyfall race walked out and entered the spatial pearls that the three ancient princes were occupying as well. Seeing this, everyone was confused. Just when the half-day time limit was about to be over, Qin Chen and Ji Daozi walked out of the spatial pearls, followed by Duo Tianzi and the other two. They left almost at the same time. ¡°It¡¯s you guys?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes darkened and he snorted at the three of them. Man Shen¡¯s pupils shrank as he recalled the scene of him being beaten up by Qin Chen. His injuries that had recovered were still throbbing, and his eyes were filled with fear. ¡°Why did they all come out? Don¡¯t tell me they don¡¯t plan to go to Chiyang Heaven?¡± ¡°The Elder King said before that he wouldn¡¯t go to Chiyang Heaven, but what about Ji Daozi and the three ancient princes?¡± ¡°All the real geniuses don¡¯t plan to go to Chiyang Heaven. I can smell a conspiracy.¡± ¡°There must be something wrong since things seem so abnormal. Is there anyone who can explain what¡¯s going on?¡± Seeing the five¡¯s abnormal behavior, everyone was surprised, and their gazes became particularly obscure. In the sky, Qin Chen, who had left the spatial pearl, stared at the three ancient princes. His eyes were filled with strong killing intent, causing the three to reveal a look of fear. ¡°Elder King, now is not the time to fight to the death. we will have plenty of opportunities in the future. We will definitely settle the humiliation you brought us last time,¡± Duo Tianzi snorted and was about to leave, but he was blocked by Qin Chen. ¡°I accidentally let you guys escape before. Do you think you can still escape now?¡± Qin Chen said coldly and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His intention was clear. ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t be too arrogant. This is the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection venue. With the five elders of the Heavenly Dao Mansion here, do you still want to fight?¡± Duo Tianzi¡¯s eyes turned vicious as he growled at Qin Chen. He kept looking at Dao Ming, who was not far away, trying to threaten Qin Chen with the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s elders. However, Qin Chen did not seem to care at all. He simply snorted, ¡°Me seeking revenge won¡¯t affect the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection. The three of you won¡¯t be able to leave today!¡± ¡°Elder King, what are you trying to do? I only hit your woman. If you have any complaints, I have plenty of human female slaves in my race. I can give them all to you,¡± Man Shen snorted. As an ancient prince, this was the first time that someone had looked down on him. He was filled with anger. If he had the ability, he would long have settled the score with Qin Chen. ¡°Hmph, human slaves, huh? You really know how to play! I just don¡¯t know how many moves you can take from me,¡± Qin Chen was furious. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and attacked with its quasi-emperor might was unleashed. The entire Tianxia City was shaking. The spatial pearls were also making noises and emitting golden lights to defend themselves. Seeing that the Elder King was about to attack, the three of them paled. After all, they had personally experienced the former¡¯s strength. If they were to really fight, even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be Qin Chen¡¯s match. Huang Yang frowned and shouted, ¡°Elder King, let us go. You can ask for anything you like. Fighting here might not be a good thing for you either.¡± Ji Daozi also spoke at this moment, ¡°Fellow Daoist, this is, after all, the Heavenly Dao Mansion¡¯s selection ground. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t start a war with them. Otherwise, you¡¯ll attract unnecessary trouble.¡± Hearing Ji Daozi¡¯s words, Qin Chen looked at Dao Ming in the distance. The latter was also looking over at this moment with a very serious expression. Although he did not know what kind of attitude Dao Ming had towards the matter, Qin Chen felt a trace of fear in his heart. After all, it was better for him not to provoke the people of the Heavenly Dao Mansion. After hesitating for a while, Qin Chen said to the three in a deep voice, ¡°You¡¯ve injured someone under me, so it¡¯s impossible for me to just let you off the hook like this. However, for the sake of your fathers, if each of you gives me a divine weapon, I¡¯ll let this matter rest.¡± ¡°A divine weapon! Why don¡¯t you just rob someone?¡± Duo Tianzi shouted in anger. Divine weapons were peerless treasures. They were extremely precious even in the primordial era. Qin Chen¡¯s request for three divine weapons was simply outrageous. Qin Chen glared at them, and his aura suddenly exploded. He stared at the three of them and said viciously, ¡°If you refuse, then you can all just die here!¡± ¡°Damn it, Elder King, you are too arrogant. Do you really think we don¡¯t dare to attack you?¡± Huang Yang clenched his fists, feeling extremely sullen in his heart. One had to know that they were all sons of primordial emperors! Who in the world would dare to threaten them like this? Qin Chen did not hesitate and immediately activated the Desolate Divine Halberd. He unleashed his might in the air like a god of war. His terrifying aura shocked everyone, and no one dared to make a sound. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that if you¡¯re not willing, then you can all just die here!¡± He said coldly. Chapter 237 - 237 Farewell 237 Farewell A cold snort rang out, and the faces of Duo Tianzi and the other two changed greatly. They knew that the Elder King did have the guts to attack them and were now somewhat regretting appearing here. The three of them frowned as they looked at the monstrous aura that was emanating from Qin Chen¡¯s body. After a moment of hesitation, Man Shen, who had experienced Qin Chen¡¯s violent ¡°baptism¡±, spoke first, ¡°Elder King, I will remember this. One day, I will settle this with you personally!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Man Shen threw out a set of armor. The armor was purple-gold in color and was made of very rare divine materials. After activation, it could not only increase one¡¯s power but also one¡¯s defense. If the armor was fully activated, it could even withstand the attacks of ordinary God realm experts. Qin Chen took the purple-gold armor and smiled. He said softly, ¡°This is a rare treasure.¡± With Man Shen being the first to give in, the other two did not hesitate any longer. They each took out a phoenix spear and a brown spiritual pearl. The two divine weapons were both offensive weapons. The phoenix spear contained the blood essence of the primordial phoenix race¡¯s God realm expert. If it was fully activated, it would be an extremely powerful aid. The spiritual pearl was not to be underestimated as well. It contained poison that could form a poisonous miasma. If one was not careful, even a God realm expert would be killed. After keeping the three divine weapons, a smile finally appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. Towards the three treasure-gifting princes, he had a tolerant attitude. He smiled and said, ¡°Thank you for your generous gifts. You can go now.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the three of them put on dark expressions, their faces looking uglier than if they had eaten shit. After reluctantly looking at the treasures they had given away, they left the place with towering resentment. ¡°Fellow Daoist, the three of them are the sons of the ancient emperors. You shouldn¡¯t offend them like this, lest you bring disaster upon yourself in the future,¡± Ji Daozi warned with good intentions, his words containing deep meaning. With Qin Chen¡¯s current strength, he was naturally not afraid of the revenge of the three ancient imperial clans. The only beings who could bring him disaster were probably their fathers. Like the great emperors, the primordial emperors were also experts who had proven their paths. They were among the most powerful beings in the universe. However, the strange thing was that both the great emperors and the primordial emperors would eventually leave the nine Heavens and ten lands. No one knew where they went. Qin Chen could not help but think of the images that had appeared on the 33 thousand-foot steles. His mind was filled with questions again. Were the experts of the universe still alive? Where did they go? As the last extra person was driven out of the spatial pearl, the twenty spatial pearls shone brightly. Ling Ran, Ji Xuan, and the other twenty talents from all over the world came out of the spatial pearls. After that, the spatial pearls were taken back by Dao Ming. Dao Ming glanced at Ling Ran and the others, then at Qin Chen and Ji Xuan. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he announced loudly, ¡°From today onwards, the twenty of you will be disciples of the Heavenly Dao Mansion. Tomorrow, I will bring you to Chiyang Heaven. After going to Chiyang Heaven, you won¡¯t be able to return for a while. Gather at Tianxia City tomorrow early morning.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ming didn¡¯t say anything more and disappeared on the spot. Everyone looked at Ling Ran and the others with envy in their eyes. When they saw the talents of their own continents, their expressions became extremely proud! ¡°Although the Jialuo Continent is the weakest in the ten lands, we still managed to get a spot. We really didn¡¯t disappoint!¡± ¡°Only two people from the Wangu Continent passed. We¡¯re so unlucky!¡± ¡°To think the Canglan Continent took up seven spots. They¡¯re too strong!¡± ¡°These 20 prodigies are geniuses that only appear once in hundreds or even thousands of years. Among them, there are even those with the Zixia Divine Body and God-demon Body that can compete with great emperors. However, there¡¯s not a single ancient prince or a human monstrous genius. What¡¯s the secret behind this?¡± Someone exclaimed as he found something amiss. He didn¡¯t understand why none of the monstrous geniuses of the ten lands had come for the selection. Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. All of them looked at Qin Chen and Ji Daozi, but the two didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of explaining. They just disappeared into the air. When they returned to the inn, Qin Chen had just entered his room when Ling Ran immediately followed him in. She closed the door behind her and stayed in the same room as Qin Chen. ¡°Ling Ran, what are you doing?¡± Qin Chen asked. Ling Ran looked at Qin Chen deeply and said softly, ¡°I grew up in the Taiyi Holy Land. I have never even met my parents. I have always focused on cultivation and have no friends. Now that I¡¯m leaving, I have no one to say goodbye to except you, Elder King!¡± when Qin Chen heard Ling Ran¡¯s words, he shrank his neck. He dared to fight against the Heavens, but at this moment, he was inexplicably nervous, and his throat became very dry. ¡°Ling Ran, what do you mean by saying all this?¡± Qin Chen pretended to be calm and coughed. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s nervous appearance, Ling Ran revealed a triumphant expression. She moved closer to Qin Chen and continued, ¡°Elder King, you first gave me the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra to help me heal and keep my position as the Holy Daughter. You then guided me in my cultivation and made me the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land. Without me realizing it, my life has been filled with your footprints.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s throat became even more dry and itchy. He, who was known as the number one genius of the human race, actually became nervous at this moment. Ling Ran stared at Qin Chen with her bright eyes and asked with a serious expression, ¡°Elder King, I wonder how long it¡¯ll be before I see you again. Can you let me see your true face?¡± When he heard this, Qin Chen shuddered. He did not expect Ling Ran to make such a request. This made him feel very awkward and confused. ¡°Is this very important to you?¡± Qin Chen asked. Ling Ran nodded, and her expression was very serious, ¡°If tomorrow is the last time I see you, I don¡¯t want to die without knowing your true identity.¡± ¡°The Heavenly Dao Mansion is very powerful in Chiyang Heaven. You don¡¯t need to worry so much. You won¡¯t die!¡± Qin Chen replied indifferently. He still did not give Ling Ran a direct answer. There was a hint of disappointment in Ling Ran¡¯s eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Elder King, if you¡¯re not willing, you can just reject me directly. There¡¯s no need to find so many excuses to avoid me.¡± Qin Chen looked embarrassed and hesitant. If it was someone else, he would have rejected such a request without hesitation. But now, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to say no. When Qin Chen thought about how Ling Ran was going to Chiyang Heaven alone, his feelings were a little complicated as he was actually a little reluctant to part with her. When he saw Ling Ran¡¯s big, watery eyes and her pleading expression, his heart softened and he finally agreed. He said softly, ¡°Very well, but you must not tell anyone about my identity.¡± Chapter 238 - 238 Recruitment 238 Recruitment Ling Ran became excited when she heard what Qin Chen said. She patted her chest and promised, ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely not tell anyone about your identity.¡± Qin Chen nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. The Chaotic Holy Body unleashed its power, and the power of the Great Path enveloped the room, making it impossible for anyone to probe into it. After ensuring that his identity would not be exposed, Qin Chen grunted and removed the power of the Great Path that hid his face and aura, revealing his original face. ¡°It¡¯s you? What are you doing here? How could you be the Elder King? How is this possible?¡± Upon seeing Qin Chen¡¯s true appearance, Ling Ran was so shocked that she shook her head as she took a few steps back. This was too shocking. To think it was the same as her bold idea before! The Elder King was actually Qin Chen who was known as the useless prince! Ling Ran was overwhelmed and her mind couldn¡¯t process the information. The truth was too shocking, and she was amazed. Who would have thought that the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, who had been labeled as trash, was the most monstrously talented Elder King? The difference between the two was so great, yet they were actually the same person. Who in the entire Canglan Continent could have guessed such a terrifying truth? ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be in the Taiyi Holy Land? If you¡¯re here, who¡¯s the old servant back there?¡± Ling Ran asked with a dumbfounded expression. ¡°The one in the Taiyi Holy Land is my clone,¡± Qin Chen explained slowly. ¡°The one standing in front of you is my true body. Do you have any other questions?¡± Ling Ran had many questions in her heart. Qin Chen was originally a useless Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. How did he become the Elder King in such a short time? She also wanted to know why he was unwilling to show his true face and instead played the role of the unfathomable Elder King. There were too many questions, but every one of them involved Qin Chen¡¯s deepest secret. Ling Ran did not want to make things difficult for him, so she didn¡¯t continue asking. Instead, she smiled and said, ¡°I never thought that you would be the Elder King. Thinking back to how I advised you to work hard in your cultivation, it¡¯s really laughable.¡± ¡°Ling Ran, you don¡¯t have to think like that. You¡¯ve helped me a lot too. When the whole world was full of malice towards me, you were the only one who was kind to me. Speaking of which, I should be the one to thank you,¡± Qin Chen said calmly as he recalled the days when he first arrived at the Taiyi Holy Land. Those days were like yesterday, and every scene was still vivid in his mind. ¡°If I go to Chiyang Heaven, will we still have a chance to meet?¡± Ling Ran¡¯s eyes were focused as she stared at Qin Chen without blinking. Her eyes were very clear. Qin Chen¡¯s neck shrank, and his face turned slightly red. He coughed dryly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be going to the nine Heavens soon. I¡¯ll go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion to look for you.¡± ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Dao Mansion!¡± As soon as Qin Chen finished speaking, Ling Ran immediately responded. She stared at Qin Chen with her clear eyes, which were full of trust and expectation. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and look for you,¡± Qin Chen replied softly. Ling Ran nodded and flashed a smile. She then returned to her room. As he looked at Ling Ran¡¯s back, Qin Chen¡¯s heart suddenly started to beat violently. His intuition told him that he seemed to have developed a strange feeling for this girl. Late at night, Qin Chen tossed and turned, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, Ling Ran¡¯s face would appear in his mind, causing his face to turn red, and it was difficult for him to remain calm. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Qin Chen. He probed, ¡°Who is it?¡± The person knocked on the door unhurriedly again, but no one responded. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed as he thought, ¡°Could it be that Ling Ran is here again?¡± He cleared his throat and forced himself to calm down. Then, he got up and opened the door. However, the moment he did so, a terrifying aura suddenly attacked him. Qin Chen was so shocked that he hurriedly retreated. His Chaotic Holy Body was activated and he looked at the person with a face of fear. He exclaimed, ¡°Elder Dao Ming!¡± ¡°As expected of the number one human genius in the ten lands. Your talent is shocking and you even have the legendary Chaotic Holy Body. Your talent is limitless!¡± Looking at Qin Chen, who was wrapped by tens of thousands of paths, Dao Ming exclaimed in admiration. His eyes were full of admiration. A monstrous talent like Qin Chen, even if he could not become a great emperor in the future, would at least reach the quasi-emperor realm. It was difficult to find a second monstrous talent like this in the entire nine Heavens and ten lands. ¡°Elder Dao Ming, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Chen asked with a look of apprehension. Dao Ming closed the door and his Godly aura surged. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the room. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°I want you to follow me to Chiyang Heaven and join the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°Join the Heavenly Dao Mansion? Why? I don¡¯t plan on going to the nine Heavens right now.¡± Qin Chen was confused. He did not understand Dao Ming¡¯s intention. Dao Ming wasn¡¯t in a hurry. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then said unhurriedly, ¡°Since you say that, I¡¯m sure you already know that Chiyang Heaven and the Heavenly Dao Mansion don¡¯t have very high positions in the nine Heavens. We paid a great price to come to the ten lands in advance this time to bring a monstrous genius like you back and revitalize the Heavenly Dao Mansion and Chiyang Heaven. So, you have to come with us tomorrow.¡± ¡°What if I don¡¯t agree?¡± Qin Chen frowned and looked at Dao Ming with a serious expression. His expression was full of apprehension. Dao Ming looked deeply at Qin Chen, and the terrifying aura of the God realm burst out from his body. He said in a deep voice, ¡°I said you must come with me. I¡¯m not asking for your opinion.¡± ¡°If you forcefully recruit me like this, even if I join the Heavenly Dao Mansion, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be a good thing for the Heavenly Dao Mansion, right?¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly. His Chaotic Holy Body was slowly activated. If Dao Ming was determined to take him away, he would fight the former to the death. ¡°Hmph, if I hadn¡¯t considered the consequences of doing so, do you think I would be sitting here and talking? I know you¡¯re a pain in the ass, so just state your conditions!¡± Dao Ming had already inquired about Qin Chen¡¯s past, so he was very decisive and directly talked about conditions with Qin Chen. Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s guard dropped a little. He smiled and said, ¡°I can join the Heavenly Dao Mansion, but I want the best cultivating spot in the Heavenly Dao Mansion. It would be best if there are great emperor ruins or a unique Heaven and Darth dojo.¡± ¡°The Heavenly Dao Mansion has a relic left behind by Supreme Emperor Huang. If you have the guts, you can cultivate there.¡± Dao Ming did not hesitate and immediately agreed. When Qin Chen saw that Dao Ming agreed to his request so easily, he was rather surprised. Then, he said, ¡°After Heaven and Earth have been restored, the forbidden grounds of the ten lands will appear. I need to stay in the ten lands for a while before I can head to the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t do. You must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me tomorrow! I can promise you anything else.¡± Chapter 239 - 239 Divine Spiritual Pearl 239 Divine Spiritual Pearl Dao Ming looked at Qin Chen insistently. He had to bring Qin Chen back to the Heavenly Dao Mansion tomorrow. Only then would the price their faction had paid to come to the ten lands early be worth it. Qin Chen frowned and said with a firm attitude, ¡°The forbidden grounds of the ten lands are full of opportunities. I have to wait for them to appear before I can go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion.¡± ¡°There is a Heaven and Earth restriction between the nine Heavens and ten lands. Before the restriction is lifted, people from the ten lands can not go to the nine Heavens, nor can people from the nine Heavens go to the ten lands. Now that Heaven and Earth have been restored, the restriction has loosened. If you don¡¯t go to the nine Heavens within a month, you can only go after the restriction is lifted. The sect master has calculated that it will take at least a few hundred years for the restriction to be lifted. Therefore, you must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me tomorrow,¡± Dao Ming explained in all seriousness. The reason why he was so anxious was because of the nine Heavens¡¯ restriction. Therefore, he had to bring Qin Chen back to the Heavenly Dao Mansion tomorrow. Qin Chen touched his chin. Even so, he was not willing to go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion now. After all, the secrets of the great emperor¡¯s palace had not been unraveled yet, and the forbidden grounds had yet to appear. Even if he had to wait for a few hundred years, he could not miss this opportunity. Moreover, Qin Chen had originally planned to check in for a few hundred years and only go to the nine Heavens when he was strong enough. The restrictions of the nine Heavens were great for him. Thus, he said decisively, ¡°I have to stay in the ten lands. If the forbidden grounds don¡¯t appear in a month, I will wait for a few hundred years. In the long years of cultivation, a few hundred years isn¡¯t too long.¡± ¡°Preposterous! You have extreme talent. As long as you go to the nine Heavens, you will definitely make rapid progress. If you don¡¯t go, in less than a few hundred years, those who are far inferior to you will surpass you. By then, you will no longer be worthy of being called a genius,¡± Dao Ming scolded. Qin Chen¡¯s talent was monstrous. He didn¡¯t want Qin Chen to be delayed in the ten lands. He wasn¡¯t willing to let the other party stay in the ten lands for a few years, let alone a few hundred years. The two argued endlessly and were at a stalemate in the room. No party could convince the other. There were a few times when Dao Ming almost flew into a rage and just kidnapped Qin Chen to the Heavenly Dao Mansion. ¡°If you can¡¯t agree to my request, I will never join the Heavenly Dao Mansion even if you take me to Chiyang Heaven by force, let alone help you revitalize the Heavenly Dao Mansion,¡± Qin Chen immediately quit and put on a look that said he would not give up, which made Dao Ming, who was standing at the side, gnash his teeth in anger. Dao Ming¡¯s eyes narrowed and his mind was filled with thoughts. Although he acknowledged Qin Chen¡¯s talent, if he wanted the latter to contribute to the sect, he had to be willing. If they were to force it, the sect would be the one to suffer in the end. After careful consideration, Dao Ming finally agreed to Qin Chen¡¯s conditions, ¡°You can stay in the ten lands. However, if other factions from the nine Heavens recruit you during this period, you must reject them. Moreover, after the nine Heavens¡¯ restriction is lifted, you must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me to cultivate in seclusion until you catch up to those monstrous geniuses in the nine Heavens.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡± Qin Chen nodded in agreement, then continued, ¡°Elder Dao Ming, Ling Ran is one of my people. After she goes to the Heavenly Dao Mansion, you can¡¯t let her suffer any losses or grievances. Otherwise, everything I promised you will be null and I will never join the Heavenly Dao Mansion!¡± Dao Ming¡¯s eyes darkened as he said in a deep voice, ¡°The Zixia Divine Body is a special innate physique. The sect will naturally nurture her well. How will we let her suffer?¡± With Dao Ming¡¯s guarantee, Qin Chen was relieved. His eyes rolled as he thought of something and he said, ¡°Elder Dao Ming, what if the other factions from the nine Heavens forcefully recruit me as you did? Why don¡¯t you leave me a few life-saving treasures? That way, I can live until the day the nine Heavens¡¯ restriction is lifted!¡± Upon hearing this, Dao Ming¡¯s eyes narrowed. He naturally knew what Qin Chen meant. Although he was a little unwilling, he considered the possibility. Hence, he reached out and took out a green pearl, then said softly, ¡°This is a divine spiritual pearl. Three of my supernormal knowledge that I cast with all my strength are sealed in it. It¡¯s enough to kill any expert below level 4 of the God realm. Take it to save your life.¡± Qin Chen took over the divine spiritual pearl with delight. He felt the terrifying aura contained in the pearl and became excited. With such a treasure, who would he need to fear in the ten lands? ¡°Elder Dao Ming! Isn¡¯t one divine spiritual pearl too little? Why don¡¯t you give me a few more? Don¡¯t be so stingy!¡± Qin Chen chuckled and winked at Dao Ming, wanting to get a few more pearls. Seeing how shameless Qin Chen was, Dao Ming¡¯s face darkened and he said in a deep voice, ¡°The divine spiritual pearl is made of a special material, and it is a rare treasure even in the nine Heavens. I only brought this one. If you think it¡¯s too little, you can give it back to me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not little, not little at all. It¡¯s enough to save my life,¡± Qin Chen immediately kept the divine spiritual pearl and made a face at Dao Ming. ¡°Remember what you promised me today. If you dare to go back on your word, the entire Heavenly Dao Mansion will come after you and settle the score,¡± Dao Ming snorted coldly and left after giving Qin Chen some instructions. Everything became calm again. No one knew that the number one genius of the human race, the Elder King, had joined Chiyang Heaven¡¯s Heavenly Dao Mansion. The next morning, Tianxia City became lively again. The 20 people who passed the selection were already waiting in the sky above Tianxia City. Around them were their clansmen and friends. ¡°How jealous. The cultivation speed in Chiyang Heaven is ten times that of the ten lands. After they go, their cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. It¡¯s not impossible for them to surpass the Elder King and the others.¡± ¡°Ten times the cultivation speed! It¡¯s really fascinating. If my cultivation was a little higher, I would¡¯ve been among the twenty people today.¡± ¡°Do we really have no chance to go to the nine Heavens?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. You should know that the Elder King, the ancient princes, and the others have not gone to the nine Heavens yet. Since they have stayed, it means that there will still be a chance in the future.¡± Everyone was talking about it on the streets. Some were envious, some were regretful, and some were very calm, not worried about whether they could go to the nine Heavens in the future. At this moment, Dao Ming¡¯s group of five appeared in the air. Looking at the twenty people who had arrived, Dao Ming said, ¡°Say your final goodbyes to your family and friends. You won¡¯t see each other for a long time.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ming and the other four burst out with a terrifying Godly aura. Dao Ming threw out an array disk that was shining with Emperor runes. Under the activation of Dao Ming and the other four, it released a ray of holy light, which enveloped Ling Ran and the others. Ling Ran felt a spatial force wrapping around her. She looked at Qin Chen and smiled. Then, she transmitted her message, ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you at Chiyang Heaven!¡± Chapter 240 - 240 The Eight Great Factions 240 The Eight Great Factions The holy light flickered, and a powerful spatial power burst forth. Ripples appeared, and with that, Dao Ming, Ling Ran, and the others suddenly disappeared. Their auras disappeared from the world as if they had never existed. ¡°They¡¯re leaving just like that? That¡¯s way too fast!¡± ¡°Earlier, there seemed to be a flash of Emperor runes. Could that have been an emperor-grade teleportation array?¡± ¡°As expected of the Heavenly Dao Mansion. They¡¯re really generous. They¡¯ve even taken out an emperor-grade teleportation array.¡± ¡°I hope that when I meet them again, they¡¯ll have already become the best among the best.¡± Many people sighed, shocked by the scene just now. At this moment, Ji Daozi came to Qin Chen¡¯s side and smiled, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you don¡¯t have to worry. This is just the beginning. You¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to go to the nine Heavens in the future.¡± ¡°This matter is over. Daoist Ji, take care,¡± Qin Chen cupped his hands and went back to the inn to find the big scorpion, who was still gambling with the other talents. Then, they returned to the Taiyi Holy Land together. Seeing the Elder King return, Lu Xuan, Lu Feng, and the other elders all came to see him. ¡°Elder King, Holy Lord Ling Ran has gone to Chiyang Heaven, but the Taiyi Holy Land can¡¯t be without a leader. Elder King, please appoint the next Holy Lord,¡± Lu Xuan said. After the restoration of Heaven and Earth, his cultivation had soared to the threshold of the Sage realm. Even his appearance had become younger by more than ten years. Qin Chen touched his chin. It had been a long time since he had managed the affairs of the Taiyi Holy Land, ¡°Who do you think is the most suitable candidate to be the Holy Lord?¡± ¡°Elder King, vice Holy Lord Lu Feng has been in power for many years and has always been diligent towards the sect. Although his cultivation is a little weak, he has a good reputation in the sect and can take on the great responsibility of being the Holy Lord.¡± ¡°Elder King, Lu Feng can take on this role.¡± ¡°We all recommend vice Holy Lord Lu Feng.¡± With Lu Xuan in the lead, the group of elders all recommended Lu Feng. Qin Chen¡¯s clone had stayed in the sect day and night, and he heard many disciples praise Lu Feng for being fair. The boy could indeed take on great responsibilities. Therefore, Qin Chen announced loudly, ¡°From now on, Lu Feng is the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land. He can execute all the rights of the Holy Lord.¡± ¡°The Elder King is wise!¡± Everyone shouted in unison. Qin Chen took out another divine-grade cultivation technique as a reward for Lu Feng. This was to express his appreciation for the latter¡¯s hard work over the years. It made the surrounding elders envious. Almost all the human factions in the Canglan Continent came to congratulate Taiyi Holy Land on its new Holy Lord. Even the ancient imperial clans and the ancient shaman race sent gifts. Although these people were only doing it for Qin Chen, this also indirectly made Lu Feng the most ostentatious Holy Lord in the history of Taiyi Holy Land. Qin Chen naturally did not care about these worldly matters. Ever since he returned to the Taiyi Holy Land, he secluded himself in the great emperor¡¯s palace to cultivate, quietly waiting for the forbidden grounds to open. A week after the Heavenly Dao Mansion left the ten lands, the world changed again. Dazzling holy light burst out everywhere in the ten lands. The other factions of the eight other Heavens besides Chiyang Heaven had also arrived in the ten lands, making the ten lands lively again. ¡°The first heaven, Taihuang Heaven, Taihuang Pavilion, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taihuang Heaven.¡± ¡°The second heaven, Taiyu Heaven, Yuxu Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taiyu Heaven.¡± ¡°The third heaven, Qinghe Heaven, Tianqing Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to go to Qinghe Heaven.¡± ¡°The fourth heaven, Xuanping Heaven, Mystic Sword Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Xuanping Heaven.¡± ¡°The fifth heaven, Yuanju Heaven, Tianyuan Divine Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Yuanju Heaven.¡± ¡°The sixth heaven, Liuhe Heaven, Liudao Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to heaven of Liuhe Heaven.¡± ¡°The seventh heaven, Xuheng Heaven, Void Divine Pavilion, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Xuheng Heaven.¡± ¡°The eighth heaven, Taiji Heaven, Taiji Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taiji Heaven.¡± The eight factions were recruiting geniuses from the ten lands at the same time. When they found out that the people from the Heavenly Dao Mansion had already come, they were all furious. However, when they found out that the Elder King, ancient princes, and the others had not gone to Chiyang Heaven, they smiled mockingly instead. The young talents of the ten lands all went to the factions they wanted to join. Some were directly selected, while others were mercilessly ridiculed. Some were happy, while others were sad. However, until now, the Elder King and ancient princes were no show. Half a month later, the eight factions met in Tianxia City to discuss how to recruit people like the Elder King and ancient princes. ¡°The human Elder King and the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race must enter the Taihuang Pavilion,¡± The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion snorted. He was determined to win over the Elder King and the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race. The elder of the Yuxu Sect laughed out loud and said loudly, ¡°With the relationship between the Elder King and the two ancient princes, do you think they will choose the same sect? The Yuxu Sect isn¡¯t greedy, we only want the human Elder King.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted and said, ¡°we want one of the three.¡± Seeing that the three factions of the three upper heavens had locked in the three most talented people of the ten lands, the elders of the other sects were angry but didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They could only take a step back and set their sights on the other geniuses. ¡°The Tinayun Divine Sect wants the Ji family¡¯s son.¡± ¡°The Xushen Pavilion wants an ancient prince.¡± ¡°The Liudao Sect also wants an ancient prince.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The group continued to argue. Suddenly, the elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted coldly, ¡°Since we can¡¯t come to an agreement, then we¡¯ll rely on our own abilities.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the eight factions dispersed unhappily. That day, the eight great factions visited the ancestral land of the primordial sage race together but were all politely refused. Sheng Xuan said that the ancient princes had not been born yet, and sent everyone away. The people of the eight factions naturally didn¡¯t believe it. Those from the three upper sects even wanted to use force. However, when Sheng Xuan took out the heavenly sovereign¡¯s decree, they chose to stop and not fall out with the primordial sage race. Since they couldn¡¯t recruit the ancient princes of the primordial sage race, everyone turned their attention to the human Elder King. Four hours later, eight God realm experts appeared in the Taiyi Holy Land, which frightened the disciples. ¡°Where is the human Elder King? Hurry up and come out to meet us,¡± The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion shouted, and Godly might out of his body. It enveloped the Taiyi Holy Land, making the disciples tremble. However, Qin Chen was currently in seclusion in the great emperor¡¯s palace and did not sense their auras at all, so he did not respond. Seeing that the human Elder King didn¡¯t react, the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion was a little angry. He harrumphed and released his Godly might to search for his target. However, when his aura came into contact with the great emperor¡¯s palace, a monstrous emperor¡¯s might suddenly burst out from the palace. Before the Taihuang Pavilion¡¯s elder could react, he was sent flying. The elders of the other seven factions all looked at him with ridicule, which made the Taihuang Pavilion elder feel embarrassed. He immediately burst out with even more terrifying Godly might. Chapter 241 - 241 Killing the Ancient God 241 Killing the Ancient God The terrifying Godly might enveloped the Taiyi Holy Land. Some disciples with lower cultivation were suppressed to the point that they bled from their seven apertures and were limp on the ground. When the Elder King of the Mystic Sword Sect saw this, he snorted, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯ve gone too far. The cultivators here are all in a lower cultivation realm. They can¡¯t resist your Godly might.¡± The Taihuang Pavilion elder didn¡¯t stop. Instead, he intensified his attack and increased the pressure to a substantial level. As a result, the dantian of some disciples who were only in the Sancai realm and the Sixiang realm exploded. They vomited blood and fell to the ground with pale faces. ¡°My Lords, what is the meaning of this?¡± Lu Feng rushed over and immediately activated the great sect-protection array to block the attack. He questioned the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion. ¡°An ant dares to question me?¡± The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion snorted coldly. Killing intent appeared in his eyes as he directly struck out a palm across the air, causing Lu Feng to cough up blood and fly backward. The great sect-protection array was also shattered. ¡°What are they doing? Are they going to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± ¡°Inform the Elder King and the Great Qin Dynasty!¡± ¡°Those are eight God realm experts! The Taiyi Holy Land is in danger! ¡± ¡°Where is the Elder King? Elder King, save us!¡± The Taiyi Holy Land was in chaos. All the disciples were shouting for the Elder King, their last hope. At that moment, a burst of Sagely might erupted from the great emperor¡¯s palace. A black-skinned figure with blood-red eyes darted out of the palace. He wielded a halberd and charged at the Taihuang Pavilion elder. ¡°Oh! You¡¯re the Elder King? Your cultivation isn¡¯t great, but you have quite the temper,¡± The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion snorted and unleashed his Godly might. He sent Qin Chen flying with a slap, and the latter¡¯s body cracked. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯ve gone too far. The human race¡¯s Elder King is a genius that we want to recruit. Since you can¡¯t recruit him, are you intending to destroy him?¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect shouted and took out a heavy sword. His aura was extremely terrifying as he confronted the elder of Taihuang Pavilion. At the same time, the elder of the Yuxu Sect unleashed his might as well. He stood with the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion and snorted at the elder of the Mystic Sword Sect, ¡°Fellow Daoist, the human Elder King has already demonized. Even if he is brought to the nine Heavens, he will only harm others. It is better to kill him on the spot.¡± ¡°I think you two have some unspeakable secrets with the primordial sage race! Why? The two ancient princes of the primordial sage race have agreed to join your sects?¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with apprehension. At the same time, the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion did not hold back either. He circulated his supernormal knowledge in his palm and struck out a powerful attack at Qin Chen, wanting to kill him. Seeing this, the elder of Mystic Sword Sect¡¯s expression changed drastically. He waved his heavy sword and wanted to go to the rescue, but he was stopped by the elder of the Yuxu faction. As such, he could only watch everything happen. The elders of the other factions didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. After all, the factions in the nine Heavens were divided into the strong and the weak. The strongest were the Mystic Sword Sect, Taihuang Pavilion, and Yuxu Sect, which were called the three upper sects by the people of the nine Heavens. The strength of the other factions was far inferior to the three upper sects. Therefore, in the face of the three upper sects, the elders of the other factions didn¡¯t dare to act rashly and help. Terrifying Godly might struck and even in his demonized state, Qin Chen still felt great pressure. However, he was not afraid at all. He activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might and awakened his Chaotic Holy Body. He circulated the rule of force and attacked without any regard for his life. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re looking for death!¡± Taihuang Pavilion¡¯s elder snorted coldly. His supernormal knowledge fell, and Qin Chen¡¯s body started to crack. When the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land saw this, they cried out the Elder King¡¯s name. However, just when everyone thought that Qin Chen was dead for sure, a green lotus bloomed in the sky. Qin Chen¡¯s injuries recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Such a terrifying supernormal knowledge immediately shocked all the elders from the nine Heavens. ¡°Divine spiritual pearl! Kill!¡± Taking advantage of the fact that the Taihuang Pavilion elder was in a daze, Qin Chen arrived in front of him in a flash. He threw out the divine spiritual pearl, which exploded with an extremely terrifying Godly might. The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion instantly regained his senses and cried out, ¡°Oh no!¡± But it was too late. Just as he finished speaking, he was severely injured by the power of the divine spiritual pearl and fell to the ground, barely breathing. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen shouted and activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might. He circulated the rule of force and threw the halberd with all his might. By the time everyone reacted, the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s forehead had already been pierced through by Qin Chen¡¯s Desolate Divine Halberd. ¡°Dead¡­ He¡¯s dead? The God realm elder of the Taihuang Pavilion actually died at the hands of a level 2 Supreme Sage ant? Such talent is too terrifying!¡± ¡°The human Elder King¡¯s talent is comparable to the young great emperors! If we can him recruit into our sect, we can definitely revive the sect!¡± ¡°Elder King of the human race, I¡¯m the Elder King of the Taiji Sect. If you¡¯re willing to join the Taiji Sect, I can ask the sect master to take you in as his last disciple.¡± ¡°Elder King, why don¡¯t you join my Liudao Sect? I can let you become the young sect master of the sect. ¡± ¡°Human race Elder King, as long as you are willing to join the Void Divine Pavilion, you can name any conditions. The sect can give you anything you want, including emperor-grade supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques.¡± After the elders of the various sects regained their senses, the first thing they did was to recruit Qin Chen. Just to recruit him, they offered all kinds of attractive conditions. The elder of Mystic Sword Sect forced the elder of Yuxu Sect back and shouted, ¡°Get lost! Elder King, the Mystic Sword Sect is the head of the three upper sects. If you want to become stronger, you should join us.¡± Seeing the elder of Mystic Sword Sect speak, the elders of the various factions shut their mouths. They didn¡¯t dare to offend the Mystic Sword Sect openly. After all, the upper three sects were existences that they couldn¡¯t afford to offend. Under the Godly might of the Nin-cycles Green Lotus, Qin Chen¡¯s condition had returned to its peak. He put the divine spiritual pearl away, looked at the crowd, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, seniors, I don¡¯t have any plans to go to the nine Heavens at the moment.¡± ¡°Elder King, although the forbidden grounds will appear one after another after the restoration of Heaven and Earth, it is still unknown when they will appear. As long as you return to the sect with me, I can give you an opportunity that¡¯s not weaker than the forbidden grounds,¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect said. To rope in the Elder King to the faction, his offer was luscious. If he had not agreed to Dao Ming¡¯s request, Qin Chen might have took the Mystic Sword Sect¡¯s offer. However, Qin Chen had always been a man of his word. Since he had promised Dao Ming, he would not go back on his word. He shook his head and refused, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior. Before the forbidden grounds appear, I will not go to the nine Heavens.¡± Hearing this, the Mystic Sword Sect elder¡¯s face turned ugly. He snorted, ¡°Human Elder King, do you know the consequences of rejecting the Mystic Sword Sect? I¡¯ll give you one more chance. Are you willing to return to the Mystic Sword Sect with me?¡± Chapter 242 - 242 Planning 242 Planning divine might came, and the terrifying pressure was even greater than the pressure from the Taihuang Pavilion¡¯s elder. Qin Chen could not help but frown. However, he wasn¡¯t someone who would give in easily. He looked at the elder with a deep gaze and said with a face full of apprehension, ¡°Senior, before the forbidden grounds appear, I don¡¯t intend to go to the nine Heavens. So, please forgive me.¡± ¡°You do have a backbone!¡± The elder of the Mystic Sword Sect snorted and his eyes were filled with admiration. Then, he continued, ¡°Do you know who you killed?¡± ¡°A person who should be killed!¡± Qin Chen replied in a deep voice. ¡°He is indeed someone who should be killed. However, behind him is the Taihuang Pavilion, one of the three upper sects of the nine Heavens. Since you have killed him, they will come to deal with you in the future. The only one who can protect you is the Mystic Sword Sect!¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect had a proud look on his face. As an elder of the top sect among the three upper sects, he had the confidence to say such words. Qin Chen frowned. He didn¡¯t expect the person he killed to have such a powerful background. He wondered if the Heavenly Dao Mansion could protect him. However, no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t leave the ten lands now. Thus, he rejected again, ¡°Many thanks for the senior¡¯s kind reminders, but I¡¯ve already made up my mind, and I won¡¯t change it.¡± ¡°Elder King, with your talent, you will only be able to soar in the nine Heavens. Staying in the ten lands will only bury you. As long as you follow me back to Mystic Sword Sect, I promise that you will become extremely strong and even have a chance to prove your path!¡± The elder of the Mystic Sword Sect was still unwilling to give up. He thought very highly of Qin Chen. After all, he had never seen anyone with the talent that Qin Chen had displayed in his life. Seeing how the Mystic Sword Sect elder persevered, Qin Chen was a little embarrassed. He coughed with a flushed face, ¡°Senior, I already have a plan for the future. Please forgive me.¡± ¡°You already have a plan?¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the Mystic Sword Sect¡¯s elder and the other elders were all shocked. Could it be that some big shot had already planned a future path for the Elder King? Although they came from the nine Heavens, where the spiritual energy was ten times richer than that of the ten lands, none of them dared to underestimate the ten lands. After all, the ten lands had produced many extreme experts and had many orthodoxies left by great emperors. Although these factions rarely appeared, it did not mean that they did not exist. Once they appeared, they would definitely overshadow the nine Heavens. The talent and combat power that the Elder King had displayed were already comparable to that of the young great emperors. If someone were to say that there was no expert behind him, the elder of the Mystic Sword Sect and the others would not believe it. ¡°I see. Then I won¡¯t say anything more. The door of the Mystic Sword Sect will always be open to you. If you change your mind, you can come to Wangu Continent to find me,¡± After guessing that there was an expert behind Qin Chen, the elder of Mystic Sword Sect did not insist anymore. He left the Taiyi Holy Land after saying this. The elders of the other factions did the same. After offering Qin Chen some incredible conditions, all of them left the Taiyi Holy Land. Looking at their backs, Qin Chen knew that the elder of the Mystic Sword Sect and the others had probably misunderstood something. However, he did not clear it up. After all, if they thought so, it would reduce a lot of trouble for Qin Chen. Looking at the injured Lu Feng and a large group of disciples who were badly injured, Qin Chen took out many precious medicines and healing pills. After the elders distributed them to everyone, he went to the spot where the Taihuang Pavilion elder had died. As soon as Qin Chen got close, he felt great divine might. Although the Taihuang Pavilion elder was dead, he was still a God. Even in death, he was not someone ordinary people could get close to. ¡°Desolate Divine Halberd, suppress!¡± Qin Chen growled and activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might. The weapon released its quasi-emperor might and floated in the air, channeling the power of the Great Path to suppress the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s corpse. With that, the divine might disappeared, and Qin Chen easily arrived beside the corpse of the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion. Then, he took the storage ring from the corpse¡¯s finger and unleashed a heaven-shaking Sagely might, obliterating the mark left behind by the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion. Qin Chen checked the storage ring and couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. There were many treasures in it. There were two divine weapons, many divine materials and ores, and many medicinal pills and precious herbs. It could be said that the elder was as rich as a country and owned even more treasures than Qin Chen¡¯s collection. At this moment, the Desolate Divine Halberd suddenly activated on its own and caught a wisp of white smoke. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the soul of the Taihuang Pavilion elder. When one¡¯s cultivation reached the God realm, one¡¯s soul and spirit would be elevated. Even if one¡¯s physical body died, one¡¯s soul would still be able to unleash monstrous combat strength which was enough to kill a Supreme Sage. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He activated the Chaotic Holy Body and used all his might to control the Desolate Divine Halberd to suppress the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s soul. Then, he summoned the Golden Roc Dao Fire to devour the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s soul. Flames were extremely harmful to the soul. The Golden Roc Dao Fire contained the path of the ancient Roc Emperor. As such, the Dao fire could devour all spiritual power and be used to strengthen one¡¯s body. White smoke rose as the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s soul was continuously being devoured and refined. The might of the Golden Roc Dao Fire also became increasingly terrifying. At this moment, the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s soul suddenly begged for mercy and shouted, ¡°Human Elder King, I was wrong before. Since you¡¯ve already killed my physical body and taken my storage ring, why be so ruthless?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior, but I¡¯ve always been someone who doesn¡¯t take chances,¡± Qin Chen chuckled. The power of the Golden Roc Dao Fire became even more terrifying. The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion let out a blood-curdling scream before he was completely burned into ashes by the fire. Qin Chen used his soul power to carefully examine the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s corpse. After making sure that the Elder King of the Taihuang Pavilion was truly dead, he then approached the body. God realm experts were existences that were comparable to Gods. Not only were their souls strong, but their bodies were also extremely strong. After the death of a God realm expert, the spiritual power of their body would merge into a divine source. If it was refined, one¡¯s cultivation would increase greatly. Naturally, Qin Chen would not let go of such a treasure as the divine source. He wrapped his palm in Sagely might and placed it on the Taihuang Pavilion elder¡¯s dantian. With a huge suction force, a basketball-sized and extremely bright divine source appeared in front of Qin Chen. The aura of the divine source was extremely strong. It was comparable to the spiritual power of half a million kilograms of Divine Spirit Source. It was just floating in the air, but it was already shining brightly. ¡°So this is the divine source that is produced after the death of a God-realm expert? It was indeed a great treasure! It¡¯s just a pity that it¡¯s so little,¡± Qin Chen let out a soft sigh, his eyes bright as he stared at the divine source. A greedy smile appeared on his face. If he could refine this divine source, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. After keeping the divine source, Qin Chen put away God¡¯s blood as well. He didn¡¯t even let go of the bones of the Taihuang Pavilion elder. After all, they were good materials for refining weapons. After keeping everything, he left with satisfaction. Chapter 243 - 243 The Emperor Burial Abyss Appears 243 The Emperor Burial Abyss Appears It had been three days since Qin Chen killed the Taihuang Pavilion¡¯s elder, and this news had long spread throughout the ten lands. ¡°As expected of the Elder King. To think he can even kill God-realm experts from the nine Heavens. How terrifying.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Elder King has an expert behind him providing guidance. That expert¡¯s cultivation seems to be above that of the God realm. He might be the Elder King¡¯s guardian!¡± ¡°Guardian? Could it be that the Elder King is also the descendant of a great emperor?¡± ¡°To think the Elder King is the descendant of a great emperor. No wonder he has such heaven-defying combat power. With the Elder King here, all the geniuses in the ten lands simply pale in comparison.¡± ¡°Does anyone know which great emperor¡¯s successor the Elder King is? Looking at his physique, it seems to be a bit like the Chaotic Holy Body. Could he be the descendant of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor?¡± ¡°What? The Elder King is the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? No wonder he¡¯s so terrifying.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Rumors about the Elder King were all over the ten lands. In the end, there was even a rumor that the Elder King was the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, and countless believed it. During this period, many came to the Taiyi Holy Land to verify, but the Elder King was in seclusion, so the rumors were never confirmed. Instead, the more they spread, the more bizarre they became. At this moment, Qin Chen, who was the focus of public opinion, was refining the divine source in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. After three days of refining without rest, the basketball-sized divine source had become the size of a fingernail. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation had also broken through to level three of the Supreme Sage realm. Since reaching the Supreme Sage realm, Qin Chen had found that his cultivation progress was slowing down. Even with a treasure like the divine source, Qin Chen had only advanced by one level. With this breakthrough, Qin Chen found that every time he broke through, he needed to use several times more spiritual energy than ordinary people needed. This was also the main reason why his cultivation progress was getting slower and slower. After refining the last bit of the divine source, Qin Chen stretched and stood up. He did not leave the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Instead, he went to the 33 thousand-foot steles. ¡°System, I want to check in,¡± Qin Chen said softly. [Congratulations, host. You have checked-in in the great Emperor¡¯s palace and have thus obtained 50 kilograms of divine ore.] As the number of check-ins increased, the rewards Qin Chen received decreased. Now, he could only obtain emperor ores and some Divine Spirit Sources. it was difficult to even obtain supernormal knowledge. Qin Chen looked into the depths of the great Emperor¡¯s palace. If he could check in there, he would definitely be able to get better things. However, the emperor¡¯s runes were constantly flashing in the depths of the palace, and a terrifyingly dark aura exuded. The aura was so dark that it was as if it did not belong to this world. Even if Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength was monstrous, he did not dare to provoke it. Exhaling a breath of hot air, Qin Chen left the great Emperor¡¯s palace. As soon as he walked out of the palace, a violent fluctuation came from Western Heaven, causing the entire world to tremble. In the depths of Western Heaven, Heaven and Earth resonated, and the Great Path buzzed. The sky was covered by black clouds and muffled thunder could be heard, making many feel very suppressed. In the dark clouds, rows of ghost soldiers and an ancient battlefield appeared. The ancient battlefield was very desolate. Broken holy weapons and armor could be seen everywhere, and crumbled battle flags could be vaguely seen. The whole place looked very mysterious. Prince Zhan rode on the clouds and looked at the ancient battlefield from thousands of miles away. He exclaimed, ¡°So this is the legendary most dangerous forbidden ground, the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± At the same time, sounds of things whistling through the air could be heard. The seven Gods of the nine Heavens had arrived. They stared at the ancient battlefield and their eyes were full of fear. One of the Gods cried out, ¡°So this is the battlefield back then? Isn¡¯t this too tragic?!¡± ¡°Emperor Burial Abyss¡­ Could it be that there¡¯s really a great emperor buried here?¡± The elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted, and his eyes became extremely solemn. At the same time, almost all the experts in the ten lands were rushing to Western Heaven. They only had one goal, the most dangerous forbidden ground, the Emperor Burial Abyss. Qin Chen, who was in the Taiyi Holy Land, also rushed over with the big scorpion. He was extremely excited. After all, the big black pot had said that as long as he entered the Emperor Burial Abyss, it would help him make an extreme emperor weapon to recognize him as its master. Half a day passed, and all the experts of the ten lands rushed over. However, they only dared to watch from ten thousand miles away. No one dared to enter the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s no wonder it¡¯s called the most dangerous forbidden ground. I can feel a terrifying chill just by looking from the outside. It¡¯s hard to imagine just how dangerous it is inside.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Emperor Burial Abyss was an ancient battlefield during the heaven burial era. It¡¯s also rumored that a great emperor died there. I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s true or not, but that was a great emperor expert!¡± ¡°The heaven burial era seems to have been cut off by the long river of time. Whether it¡¯s ancient books or legends, there¡¯s no record of the era. Other than the name, no one knows anything about it. Some people even think that the so-called heaven burial era is just fake.¡± ¡°We can find out these questions from the Emperor Burial Abyss. Are there any experts who can lead us into the Emperor Burial Abyss? If I can solve my doubts, it¡¯s worth it even if I die.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Is there any expert who would like to step forward? We swear to follow you to the death.¡± A group of people shouted, all wanting to find an expert to lead them into the Emperor Burial Abyss. However, even after shouting for a long time, not a single expert dared to step forward. Qin Chen and the big scorpion rushed over. When he saw the mysterious ancient battlefield covered by black clouds, he was shocked by the desolate aura. [Ding!] [A terrifying divinity has been detected in front!] The system¡¯s notification immediately attracted Qin Chen¡¯s attention. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and asked softly, ¡°Big black pot, are you sure that after I enter the Emperor Burial Abyss, there¡¯s really a way for me to make the extreme emperor weapon recognize me as its master?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I never lie. Since I said that I¡¯d make the extreme emperor weapon recognize you as its master, I won¡¯t go back on my word,¡± The big black pot replied. Hearing this, Qin Chen was quite excited. He looked at the ancient battlefield from afar and his eyes became very determined. No matter what, he had to enter the Emperor Burial Abyss and get the extreme emperor weapon. ¡°Elder King, you¡¯ve come too!¡± Ji Daozi suddenly walked over and greeted Qin Chen. Qin Chen nodded, then asked, ¡°Daoist Ji, has anyone entered the Emperor Burial Abyss yet?¡± Ji Daozi shook his head and sighed, ¡°The Emperor Burial Abyss is the most dangerous and forbidden ground. Even Gods don¡¯t dare to enter it easily. Now, only the outermost first layer of the battlefield has appeared. No one dares to take the risk to enter it. Qin Chen frowned. He was a little impatient. After all, an extreme emperor weapon was at stake. If the Gods from the nine Heavens knew about it, they would probably ask for a share of it. At that moment, the big black pot suddenly transmitted a message, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s go in now. Otherwise, it will be too late when the entire Emperor Burial Abyss appears.¡± Chapter 244 - 244 Entering the Emperor Burial Abyss 244 Entering the Emperor Burial Abyss Hearing the big black pot¡¯s words, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. He then looked at the ancient battlefield that was surrounded by ghost soldiers and snorted, ¡°Since no one dares to enter, I¡¯ll go in and help you explore the way.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, the Emperor Burial Abyss is the most dangerous forbidden ground, I advise you not to take such a risk,¡± Ji Daozi advised in a soft voice. At this moment, Sheng Xuan arrived with two war chariots. Terrifying auras came from the war chariots. If Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right, they were the sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Taiyang. ¡°Little ancestors, we have arrived,¡± Sheng Xuan said in respect. ¡°So this is the Emperor Burial Abyss. It¡¯s really a mysterious place. I really want to go in and take a look,¡± Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son let out a cry of surprise. When Sheng Xuan heard this, he hurriedly stopped him, ¡°Little ancestor, this place seems quite eerie. Why don¡¯t we wait until the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss is revealed before we enter?¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ll do as you say!¡± Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son snorted, then looked in Qin Chen¡¯s direction and exclaimed, ¡°He¡¯s the human Elder King who has been going against our primordial sage race? His physical body is truly terrifying! I wonder which of our fists is tougher?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng, who was in the other chariot, also spoke, ¡°It¡¯s said that he¡¯s the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Hmph, I wonder how many moves he can take from me.¡± They did not hide the conversation between them, so some people with sharp ears could hear it. After hearing the conversation, many people felt that the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race were too arrogant. ¡°The Elder King has unrivaled combat power, and he can¡¯t be suppressed with just a few words. These two ancient princes have been unwilling to show themselves until now. I wonder if they are as powerful as the rumors say!¡± ¡°Hmph, so what if he¡¯s Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son? So what if he¡¯s the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng? If they were to go up against the Elder King, they would definitely be suppressed.¡± ¡°Based on the current battle results, the Elder King is undoubtedly the number one genius in the ten lands. These two ancient princes are just putting on airs too much.¡± Hearing these people¡¯s words, Sheng Xuan¡¯s face turned ugly. Divine might spread out from his body, intimidating everyone present. With that, no one dared to question the strength of the two ancient princes. ¡°It¡¯s said that the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race have Ancient Sage bodies that are comparable to the Chaotic Holy Body. They seem to be very hostile to you, fellow Daoist. You have to be careful,¡± Ji Daozi also looked at the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race. His eyes were filled with curiosity, but there was no fear. Qin Chen glanced at the two war chariots of the primordial sage race. He did not think much of the two ancient princes. After all, the most important thing in his mind now was getting the extreme emperor weapon. He asked in his heart, ¡°Big black pot, are you sure we have to go in now? The Emperor Burial Abyss has yet completely appeared!¡± ¡°Just trust me. Now hurry up and go in, or else we¡¯ll have to share the treasures with others,¡± The big black pot shouted, its tone very anxious. Upon hearing this, Qin Chen no longer hesitated. After sending a voice transmission to the big scorpion, he grunted and flew straight toward the battlefield of the Emperor Burial Abyss. The big scorpion followed closely behind without hesitation. After having followed Qin Chen to several forbidden grounds now, he was not afraid at all. ¡°Hmph, to think those two dares to barge into the Emperor Burial Abyss. They¡¯re really looking for death!¡± The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng snorted coldly. ¡°Since he wants to die, I¡¯ll help him,¡± Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son walked out of the chariot, revealing the handsome face of a young man. Other than the unique mark on his forehead, he did not look too different from a human youth. Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son unleashed his Supreme Sagely might. He was a level 5 Supreme Sage, and his aura was extremely terrifying. He circulated his supernormal knowledge in his palm and struck directly at Qin Chen, who was heading toward the ancient battlefield. A terrifying aura swept over, and everywhere it passed, the void was shattered. Qin Chen sensed this aura and his eyes turned cold. He circulated the rule of force and struck out the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, directly shattering Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son¡¯s supernormal knowledge. ¡°Hmph, when you enter the Emperor Burial Abyss, I will settle the score with you,¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly and suppressed the anger in his heart. He continued to fly toward the ancient battlefield with the big scorpion. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two of them disappeared into the dark clouds. ¡°The Elder King is really bold! The Emperor Burial Abyss hasn¡¯t even completely emerged yet, and he already dares to venture there.¡± ¡°It is only a given. The Elder King is the number one genius in the ten lands. He isn¡¯t someone who can only sneak attack.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Either way, I¡¯m with the Elder King this time.¡± ¡°The Elder King has already announced that he will settle the score in the Emperor Burial Abyss. I wonder if the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race still dare to enter?¡± The onlookers were filled with sarcasm. They found the sneak attack of Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son disdainful. Now, no one was speaking up for the primordial sage race. Even the people of the ten thousand ancient races were blushing and hiding in the corner. Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son¡¯s eyes darkened, and a terrifying killing intent burst out from his body. He looked into the depths of the Emperor Burial Abyss with anger and said in a deep voice, ¡°You want to settle the score with me? why don¡¯t you see if you have the ability to do so?¡± ¡°Little ancestor, there¡¯s no need to be angry. The Emperor Burial Abyss is the most dangerous forbidden ground. If the Elder King of the human race chooses to enter the Emperor Burial Abyss now, it¡¯s no different from sending himself to his death. When we enter the Emperor Burial Abyss, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll only see his corpse,¡± Sheng Xuan snorted. As a God Realm expert, he could feel the terrifying aura coming from the depths of the Emperor Burial Abyss. He believed that the Elder King was destined to never return. ¡°If he were to die like this, it would be too easy on him. I hope he can live until I enter the Emperor Burial Abyss!¡± Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son snorted and returned to the chariot, waiting for the complete appearance of the Emperor Burial Abyss. At this moment, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had already passed through the black clouds and arrived at the periphery of the ancient battlefield. They were clearly above the clouds, yet the ground under their feet was extremely thick. Even Qin Chen was not confident that he could penetrate it. At a glance, one could only see some corroded armor and the yellow ground covered by yellow sand. One could also vaguely hear the sound of battle, which was creepy. Qin Chen picked up a helmet that was covered in a thick layer of dust. He dusted it off and saw a God array pattern flickering. Qin Chen was shocked. Could this helmet have been a divine weapon? Looking at the broken pieces of armor and weapons on the ground, Qin Chen had a bold idea. Could an army of God realm experts have fallen here? Just as Qin Chen was deep in thought, the big scorpion, who was at the side, suddenly saw a creepy scene. He grabbed Qin Chen¡¯s arm and shouted, ¡°That¡­ What¡¯s that?¡± Qin Chen looked over and saw a row of ghost soldiers flying toward them. Chapter 245 - 245 Medicinal Field 245 Medicinal Field These ghost soldiers had absent-minded eyes and dazed expressions. They were not spiritual bodies, but souls. Perhaps due to erosion, the souls were now green, becoming the ghost soldiers that Qin Chen was seeing now. There were a total of ten ghost soldiers in the row. They lined up in a straight line, shouting words of killing as they flew toward Qin Chen and the big scorpion. ¡°Use your Desolate Divine Halberd to hide. Do not provoke them, or you will die,¡± The big black pot said in a low voice. After hearing it, Qin Chen did not hesitate and immediately followed its instructions. He took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and covered up his and the big scorpion¡¯s auras. The row of ghost soldiers stopped in front of the two. They looked at the Desolate Divine Halberd, and their dazed eyes actually moved. Then, they ignored Qin Chen and the big scorpion and flew away. ¡°The Desolate Divine Halberd actually has such a use?¡± The big scorpion cried out in shock. He had been given quite a fright just now. Qin Chen was also a little shocked. From the eyes of these ghost soldiers, he could tell that the Desolate Divine Halberd was definitely connected to this battlefield. He asked the big black pot, but the latter obviously did not want to say anything. From the beginning to the end, it remained silent. Heading in the direction pointed by the big black pot, Qin Chen and the big scorpion came to a medicinal field. There were many divine herbs planted in the field, but there was obviously something wrong with them. Their leaves and roots had turned black. ¡°Ahem, can these divine herbs still be used? They won¡¯t kill us, right?¡± The big scorpion gulped. He was drooling over the divine herbs, but he did not dare to lay his hands on them. The big black pot came out of the storage ring and stood on the black soil. It had a worried look on its face and sighed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even you would be corroded.¡± ¡°You?¡± Qin Chen was confused. This was the first time he had seen the big black pot speak so respectfully, but there was no living creature around. Could it be speaking for these divine herbs? However, at this moment, a handful of five-colored soil that was emitting holy light suddenly flew out from a pile of black soil and fell into the big black pot. Seeing the five-colored soil, the big black pot suddenly cried tears of joy, ¡°Hahaha, I knew it. I knew you wouldn¡¯t be so easily eroded. You have indeed prepared a backup plan¡­ ¡± Seeing this, Qin Chen and the big scorpion both frowned. They wondered if the big black pot¡¯s brain was broken. To think it was actually crying and laughing at a handful of soil. The big black pot handed the five-colored soul to Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°From now on, you must use the great dao spring water to water this five-colored soil. This is a great opportunity for you!¡± Taking the five-colored soil, Qin Chen felt a strong divinity. However, he was still a little confused. What exactly was this five-colored soil and what was its relationship with the big black pot? ¡°Big black pot, what¡¯s the great opportunity you¡¯re talking about?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°You¡¯ll know when the time comes. Remember, you must use the great dao spring water to water the soil every day. Don¡¯t let me find out that you¡¯re slacking off, or don¡¯t blame me for being impolite,¡± The big black pot snorted and did not tell Qin Chen what he wanted to know. Then, it bounced away, leading Qin Chen and the big scorpion. After walking for a short while, the two and the pot arrived at a very tragic battlefield. White bones were littered on the ground. Even though countless years had passed, Qin Chen could still feel how tragic the battle was. ¡°Brothers, I¡¯m back!¡± The big black pot mumbled, and the bones around it made creaking sounds as if they were responding to the big black pot. It made Qin Chen and the big scorpion feel a chill down their spine, and goosebumps rose on their bodies. ¡°I am late. Do you think I can save you?¡± The big black pot asked, but the bones on the ground did not respond. Looking at the desolate expression on the big black pot, Qin Chen¡¯s intuition told him that the big black pot must have some great secret. It was very likely that it came from this battlefield. The big black pot was depressed for a long time. Then, it brought Qin Chen and the big scorpion to a black skeleton and said in a low voice, ¡°I need your help. I want to know where the sword embryo is.¡± As soon as it finished speaking, the skeleton actually stood up. Its empty eye sockets suddenly emitted divine light, shining towards the deepest part of the Emperor Burial Abyss. It showed a sword embryo that had not been forged. The sword embryo was transparent and was only as long as an arm. It had not been sharpened, but it gave people great pressure. ¡°Many thanks!¡± The big black pot snorted, then led Qin Chen and the big scorpion deeper in. After walking for a while, the two and the pot were stopped by a black cloud. The black cloud roared with lightning and thunder, containing the extremely terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. This was the only way to the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, but it wasn¡¯t so easy to get through. ¡°You two carry me over your heads!¡± The big black pot said. Its body suddenly enlarged and covered Qin Chen and the big scorpion. Then, the two of them carried the pot into the black cloud. The sound of thunder roared outside, and Qin Chen could hear crackling sounds. However, the big black pot was still safe and sound, without any damage. After passing through the black lightning, the world suddenly became bright and sunny. This place was actually a medicinal field. There were many divine herbs and God Emperor herbs in the field, as well as herb butterflies flying in the air. It was simply like a paradise. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. The difference between this place and the ancient battlefield outside was like Heaven and Earth. It was completely beyond his imagination. ¡°Kid, now you know why I insisted on you coming in early! If you waited till the second layer appeared, how many of these herbs do you think will be yours?¡± The big black pot snorted triumphantly. Qin Chen, on the other hand, put away his shock. He asked the big black pot, ¡°Can I pick all the spiritual herbs here? Is there a trap?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is just a medicinal field. You¡¯ll be fine even if you pick all the spiritual herbs,¡± The big black pot said. As soon as it finished speaking, the big scorpion at the side instantly became excited. He took out a storage ring and picked the spiritual herbs. The medicinal field was huge. The two had only harvested half of the medicinal field after an hour. To speed up the process and collect all the spiritual herbs before the whole place resurfaced in the outside world, they did not hesitate to uproot the spiritual herbs. Even so, it took them another hour to collect all the spiritual herbs in the entire medicinal field. After collecting the spiritual herbs, Qin Chen and the big scorpion headed to the deepest part of the Emperor Burial Abyss, which was the third layer. However, just as they entered the dark clouds that led to the third layer, the dark clouds that enveloped the second layer also completely dispersed. In the outside world, seeing that the first two layers of the Emperor Burial Abyss had already appeared, many couldn¡¯t hold themselves back any longer. after all, the treasures in the forbidden ground were ownerless, so it was naturally on a first come, first served basis. If they were late, they might not even get a speck of dust. ¡°You guys just wait! I¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± Prince Zhan rode on a white cloud and flew toward the Emperor Burial Abyss. Chapter 246 - 246 Locusts Across a Field 246 Locusts Across a Field Seeing Prince Zhan make his move, the others did not wait any longer. All of them used their movement techniques and quickly headed toward the Emperor Burial Abyss. Behind Prince Zhan, Sheng Xuan and the two war chariots followed closely. The speed of the war chariots was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they were already beside Prince Zhan. At this moment, more than a dozen groups of ghost soldiers flew over. These ghost soldiers were shouting words of killing as they charged toward Prince Zhan and the two ancient princes from the primordial sage race. ¡°Mere ghost soldiers, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± Sheng Xuan shouted in a low voice and stood in front of the two ancient princes. Then, he unleashed all his strength and launched a few supernormal knowledge at the ghost soldiers. ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± The ghost soldiers chanted, and the supernormal knowledge from Sheng Xuan passed through their bodies. Then, the ghost soldiers blocked the chariots of Sheng Xuan and the two ancient princes. They exploded with monstrous killing intent and shattered the chariots. Like Prince Yang, Prince Tian was also a young man. He looked even younger than Prince Yang, but his aura was much more terrifying. ¡°You dare to destroy my chariot!¡± Prince Tian growled in a low voice, and his eyes were filled with anger. He activated his Primordial Holy Body, and all the paths trembled. The aura of the purest yang burst forth as he punched out forcefully, but his fist passed through the ghost soldier¡¯s body. The ghost soldier looked at Prince Tian with his empty eyes and shouted, ¡°Kill!¡± With that, a terrifying power attacked and sent Prince Tian flying. ¡°Your Highness!¡± Sheng Xuan exclaimed with a worried expression. At the same time, the others also started to fight with the ghost soldiers. In just one round, half of those who entered the Emperor Burial Abyss were killed. These ghost soldiers could ignore supernormal knowledge and physical attacks, and the killing intent they released was extremely terrifying. Ordinary people were no match for them. ¡°These ghost soldiers are souls. We can kill them with our strongest flames or soul power!¡± Ji Daozi was the first to discover the technique to suppress and kill ghost soldiers. His entire body thus burned with Dao fire, and he became a man of flames as he rushed toward the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Sanwei True Flames!¡± Prince Zhan shouted and used his fire supernormal knowledge. He spat out a huge flame and burned a pair of ghost soldiers to death. Then, he chased after Ji Daozi. When Prince Tian and Prince Yang saw this, they did not want to fall behind either. They immediately summoned their Dao fire and killed all the ghost soldiers blocking their way. Then, they advanced toward the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss with Sheng Xuan. The others weren¡¯t left too far behind. After clearing the ghost soldiers, all of them dashed to the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. Ji Daozi and Prince Zhan were the first to arrive at the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. when they saw the second layer, which was like a paradise, they were both shocked. However, when they saw the medicinal fields that had been picked clean as if locusts had visited the field, they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth. Prince Tian and Prince Yang had also rushed over. Looking at the destroyed medicinal field, they asked in anger, ¡°Who did this?¡± The rest also arrived at the medicinal field, but when they saw the barren field, they were all confused. They exclaimed, ¡°Who did this? Isn¡¯t this too ruthless?!¡± ¡°Damn, to think they uprooted the spiritual herbs. This is too shameless!¡± ¡°It¡¯s such a large medicinal field, yet they didn¡¯t even leave a single stalk of grass for us! This is too much! Who was it? I promise I won¡¯t beat him to death.¡± At this time, a God from the nine Heavens suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, ¡°It can¡¯t be the Elder King, right?¡± When everyone heard this, they came to a sudden realization. The Elder King was the only one who had entered the Emperor Burial Abyss in advance. Other than him, who else could do something so shameless? ¡°Isn¡¯t the Elder King too greedy? To think he took away all the spiritual herbs in such a large field, not even leaving us a single blade of grass. This is too much!¡± ¡°Has anyone seen the Elder King? If yes, please help me ask if his conscience really doesn¡¯t hurt from taking away so many spiritual herbs by himself.¡± ¡°The Elder King doesn¡¯t seem to be on the second layer anymore. Could he have gone to the third layer? If he takes away the treasure on the third layer, won¡¯t we all return empty-handed?¡± ¡°The third layer hasn¡¯t come into being yet, and it¡¯s covered by black thunderclouds. Who has a way to enter?¡± Someone shouted and wanted to go to the third layer, but he couldn¡¯t cross the black thunderclouds. He could only wait on the second layer. The seven Gods from the nine Heavens were not willing to return empty-handed, so they joined forces and took out a divine array disk, trying to cross the black thundercloud. However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that the array disk, which could withstand a strike from a peak God-realm expert, was shattered by the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation as soon as it touched the black cloud. This also crushed everyone¡¯s hope. They could only wait here quietly for the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss to appear. At this moment, with the help of the big black pot, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had successfully reached the third layer. It was an ancient city. After the passage of time, the ancient city had already been reduced to ruins. There were many broken arrays in the city, as well as some dried corpses. It looked very desolate. Qin Chen climbed up the city wall and found that it was littered with corpses. It seemed that an incredible battle had taken place, causing these people to die here. There was a large hole in the middle of the city wall, seemingly in the shape of a palm print. The palm had almost collapsed the entire city wall. Qin Chen looked at the ruined city wall and opened his heavenly eye. A golden light flashed through his eyes. He actually saw emperor runes on these broken stones. Could it be that there had been an emperor-grade defensive array on the city wall? If that was really the case, who was the one who collapsed the city wall? Could it be a great emperor? His heart was filled with questions, but no one could answer them. Looking at the desolate ancient city, Qin Chen felt a trace of loneliness in his heart. ¡°I¡¯ve already sensed the sword embryo. Follow me!¡± The big black pot said, then brought Qin Chen to the City Lord¡¯s mansion! The City Lord¡¯s mansion was also in ruins. All the houses had collapsed, leaving only a hall that was barely standing. ¡°Big black pot, how are you going to help me make the extreme emperor weapon recognize me as its master?¡± Qin Chen asked. The big black pot grunted, and the Emperor runes in the pot glowed. It emitted a monstrous aura that enveloped the City Lord¡¯s mansion. Qin Chen and big scorpion were both shocked. This was the first time they had seen the big black pot unleash its power. The terrifying Emperor¡¯s might was not much different from an extreme emperor weapon. ¡°It¡¯s under this pile of ruins,¡± The big black pot turned to a pile of ruins and said to Qin Chen. Upon hearing this, Qin Chen did not hesitate. His Sagely might burst forth as he raised his hand and struck out a palm, sending the pile of ruins flying. A round altar was revealed, and in the center of the altar was an innate sword embryo. Chapter 247 - 247 Lunar Rabbit 247 Lunar Rabbit The sword embryo was transparent and only arm-length. It didn¡¯t have any aura and looked like an ordinary stone. ¡°Bib black pot, are you sure this is an extreme emperor weapon?¡± Qin Chen asked. The big black pot snorted, ¡°This is an innate sword embryo made of divine materials and refined by two great emperors. It¡¯s most definitely an extreme emperor weapon.¡± Hearing that the innate sword embryo had such a powerful background, Qin Chen was shocked. He no longer dared to underestimate it. He activated his Chaotic Holy Body and opened his heavenly eye to look at the innate sword embryo. Under the heavenly eye, the innate sword embryo was surrounded by the power of the Great Path. Inside the sword embryo, extremely domineering Emperor runes were flashing. At this moment, he believed what the big black pot said. This innate sword embryo was indeed an extreme emperor weapon. ¡°What can I do to make this innate sword embryo recognize me as its master?¡± Qin Chen asked. ¡°This innate sword embryo was used by Supreme Emperor Huang in his early years,¡± The big black pot replied calmly, ¡°Later, it was smelted into the Emperor-slaying Sword. But for some reason, it appeared here again. It was also refined by another great emperor. However, the good thing is that Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s heavenly emperor mark is still on it. In a while, I will awaken Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s heavenly emperor mark. As long as you obtain the recognition of Supreme Emperor Huang, the innate sword embryo will recognize you as its master!¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s expression tensed up. Supreme Emperor Huang was born in the heaven burial era and was the most mysterious heavenly emperor. Almost no one knew about his past, but even so, he was still known as one of the strongest heavenly emperors in history. If Qin Chen wanted to obtain the recognition of Supreme Emperor Huang, it would not be as easy as he thought. ¡°It takes a lot of energy to make the extreme emperor weapon recognize a master. Take a rest first. I¡¯ll need to make some preparations to awaken Supreme Emperor Huang¡¯s heavenly emperor mark,¡± The big black pot said and lay still in the corner, just like an ordinary iron pot. Qin Chen let out a breath of hot air and sat on the ground with his eyes closed. He waited for the big black pot to wake up. The impatient big scorpion was wandering around the ancient city, trying to pick up some treasures. There was no Sun in the Emperor Burial Abyss, so Qin Chen did not know how much time had passed. It was only when the system¡¯s notification rang in his ears that he knew that he had been here for a day. [Ding!] [It has been detected that the current location is filled with divinity. Would you like to check in?] Qin Chen nodded and said in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations to the host for checking in at the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. You have received a quasi-Emperor-grade array disk.] [Quasi-emperor-grade array disk: A one-time consumable. After activation, it can release a quasi-emperor array that can kill any creature below the quasi-emperor realm.] After seeing the system¡¯s introduction, Qin Chen exclaimed, ¡°Damn, isn¡¯t my luck too good?¡± With the quasi-emperor-grade array disk, Qin Chen was finally confident. In the entire Nine Heavens and ten lands, he no longer needed to fear any living being. ¡°Elder King! Catch it!¡± A shout rang out, causing Qin Chen to snap out of his daze. He opened his eyes and saw the big scorpion chasing a rabbit in the ancient city. The rabbit was very fast and had quick reflexes. Every time the big scorpion was about to catch it, the rabbit would suddenly change direction, causing the big scorpion to fall flat on his face. Activating the Chaotic Holy Body, Qin Chen immediately opened his heavenly eye and looked at the rabbit that was running at full speed. He was shocked to find that the rabbit¡¯s body actually contained the power of the Great Path. The power of its bloodline was extremely powerful, comparable to that of an immemorial dragon. ¡°Could this be the lunar rabbit that had gone extinct before the primordial age?¡± Qin Chen was shocked. He flipped through the ancient books in his mind. The only thing that he found that matched this rabbit was the legendary lunar rabbit. According to ancient records, the lunar rabbit was like the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, all divine beasts in the world. They were rare and had extremely powerful bloodlines. Expert lunar rabbits could turn into the silver Moon in the sky after their deaths. Qin Chen did not expect to meet a legendary divine beast that was on par with the dragon and phoenix here. Without any hesitation, he activated the power of the Great Path and reached out his hand to grab the lunar rabbit. However, just as he was about to succeed, the lunar rabbit¡¯s speed suddenly increased, causing his grab to miss. ¡°Bind!¡± Qin Chen snorted coldly and immediately awakened the Chaotic Holy Body. The Great Paths of Heaven and Earth buzzed, and chains of the Great Path emerged from the void, all of which suppressed the lunar rabbit. The lunar rabbit was very timid. After seeing Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying attack, its body emitted a spiritual aura and it hid in the void, causing Qin Chen¡¯s attacks to miss. Qin Chen was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the lunar rabbit to be so sneaky. He had already awakened his Chaotic Holy Body, but he still couldn¡¯t catch the lunar rabbit. Big scorpion ran over, panting, and said in a deep voice, ¡°Where¡¯s that damned rabbit? Why did it suddenly disappear?¡± ¡°It has already escaped into the void. It¡¯s impossible to catch it again. Where did you find it?¡± Qin Chen asked softly. The big scorpion complained, ¡°This damned rabbit actually dared to steal my storage ring when I wasn¡¯t paying attention. By the time I noticed, it had already eaten half of my medicinal herbs! I¡¯m so angry.¡± Hearing the big scorpion¡¯s words, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. Then, he took out a pile of medicinal herbs from his storage ring, set up an array, and began to wait for the rabbit. As time passed, there was a fluctuation in the void. A crack was torn open in the sky, and the lunar rabbit jumped out of the crack, finally appearing in front of Qin Chen again. Looking at the pile of medicinal herbs, the lunar rabbit¡¯s eyes were unblinking. After probing around the pile of medicinal herbs several times, it finally couldn¡¯t help but eat a herb. The array was instantly activated, and the lunar rabbit was caught red-handed. ¡°Hmph, cunning human, let me go! Let me go!¡± The lunar rabbit shouted as its body emitted divine light. It wanted to tear open the void and escape, but in the array, all of its abilities had been sealed. Other than being able to speak human language, it was no different from an ordinary rabbit now. Qin Chen revealed a smile and asked softly, ¡°Are you the legendary lunar rabbit?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the divine beast lunar rabbit. Do you know how terrifying a divine beast is when it¡¯s angry? Be tactful and let me go, or I will never let you go!¡± The lunar rabbit shouted at Qin Chen with its red eyes. Even though it had fallen into Qin Chen¡¯s hands, its attitude was still very arrogant. It did not seem to understand the current situation. Seeing the lunar rabbit¡¯s arrogance, Qin Chen suddenly sneered and took out a grill and condiments from his storage ring. He smacked his lips and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never eaten a divine beast in my life. I must have a good meal today.¡± Chapter 248 - 248 Defeating the Ancient Princes 1 248 Defeating the Ancient Princes 1 In the array, no matter how powerful the lunar rabbit was, it couldn¡¯t display its full power. It could only threaten with words. However, it did not expect Qin Chen to be so ruthless that he was about to eat it! As a divine beast that could be compared to dragons and phoenixes, the lunar rabbit had long gone extinct. No one had expected to see it again in the Emperor Burial Abyss. Qin Chen¡¯s style of doing things was to first be polite and then do things by force. If the other party didn¡¯t wield under force, then there was no need to keep the other party alive. After all, he was no ordinary cultivator. What kind of things had he not seen? Since this lunar rabbit did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, he might as well cook it as a dish to have with wine. The lunar rabbit would definitely be a great tonic. Perhaps only the great emperors could enjoy such a delicacy. Qin Chen released his Dao fire and walked over, ready to skin the lunar rabbit. Seeing this, the lunar rabbit struggled madly, and its body glowed with divine light, but it was useless. ¡°You, what do you want to do?¡± The lunar rabbit was panicking. ¡°Eat rabbit meat! I¡¯m sure your meat will be very delicious and will nourish my body.¡± It turned out that Qin Chen was not joking. He really wanted to eat the lunar rabbit! ¡°Stop! As long as you don¡¯t eat me, I¡¯ll agree to anything!¡± Qin Chen sighed and asked regretfully, ¡°You¡¯ll really agree to anything?¡± ¡°Naturally. Once I promise, I won¡¯t go back on my words!¡± ¡°Looks like I won¡¯t be able to eat rabbit meat.¡± The big scorpion said fiercely, ¡°You ate so many of my medicinal herbs. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?¡± The lunar rabbit was a divine beast. Its blood essence was naturally extremely useful in brewing medicine and refining pills. Now that it had been caught by Qin Chen and the big scorpion, it could not escape at all. ¡°I¡¯m telling you guys, don¡¯t do anything stupid!¡± Qin Chen said, ¡°The blood essence in your body should be the most valuable thing you have, right? In that case, hand over 100 drops of blood essence. If you don¡¯t, then I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± The lunar rabbit was almost in despair. These two guys were so vicious. 100 drops of blood essence, wasn¡¯t that going to take its life? ¡°Fifty drops! Any more and my essence will be seriously injured!¡± Qin Chen smiled faintly, ¡°100 drops. If you continue to bargain, I will ask for 200 drops.¡± In the end, the lunar rabbit still handed over 100 drops of blood essence, and its aura instantly withered. A hundred drops of blood essence floated towards Qin Chen, who gave half to the big scorpion. Since he had caught the lunar rabbit, he definitely couldn¡¯t let it run away. If he had such a treasure rabbit by his side, it meant that he could obtain its blood essence continuously. The lunar rabbit had long gone extinct outside. The lunar rabbit in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was the only one in this world. Seeing the extremely aggrieved lunar rabbit, Qin Chen simply put it away and returned the storage ring that belonged to the big scorpion. He didn¡¯t expect his harvest to be so great. Fortunately, the big black pot had brought him into the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss in advance. Otherwise, this rabbit would probably fall into someone else¡¯s hands. Now, the big black pot had also woken up. It probably knew that the lunar rabbit had fallen into Qin Chen¡¯s hands, but it didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I¡¯m ready. We can start to awaken the heavenly sovereign mark left behind by Supreme Emperor Huang.¡± Seeing that the big black pot had returned to its original state, Qin Chen hurried over. After all, this innate sword embryo was a supreme weapon that had been refined by two great emperors. Even among the extreme weapons, it was still a notch stronger. The big black pot began to unleash its power, and the innate sword embryo started to tremble. Countless beams of divine light entered the innate sword embryo. In an instant, a powerful aura burst out from the innate sword embryo! This was the aura of an extreme weapon, and it seemed to be on the verge of awakening. It was extremely terrifying! The fluctuation spread to the entire Emperor Burial Abyss. Prince Zhan and the others naturally noticed it as well. ¡°This is the fluctuation coming from the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss.¡± ¡°Such a terrifying power can only be possessed by an extreme weapon. Could it be that Elder King has already obtained an extreme weapon?¡± ¡°What? The third layer actually has an extreme weapon!¡± Prince Tian and Prince Yang both took in a sharp intake of cold air. To think there was such a fortuitous encounter in the Emperor Burial Abyss! After that, the eyes of the group of people turned red with greed. This Elder King was simply too unkind. To think he wanted to take away all the treasures on every layer. He didn¡¯t have any intention of leaving anything for them. It was said those who came first could eat meat while the later ones could drink soup. Yet the Elder King had eaten meat but didn¡¯t even leave a drop of soup for them. For a time, many were so angry that they almost vomited blood. At this rate, they would be left with nothing by the time they reached the third layer! At this moment, the power of the innate sword embryo had been suppressed by the big black pot. God knows if it was because the big black pot had many secrets, but the emperor¡¯s might the big black pot unleashed was not inferior to the innate sword embryo. Then, a broken rune appeared on the innate sword embryo. It was the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark left behind by Supreme Emperor Huang! Fortunately, it was still there, and the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark had not been erased. The big black pot quickly awakened the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark and used many methods. Qin Chen and big scorpion had never seen or even heard of these methods before. They had never thought that the big black pot would hide its strength so deeply. Only the big black pot could awaken the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark. It didn¡¯t take long for the broken heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark to burst out with terrifying power as if the heavenly sovereign himself had descended! The entire Emperor Burial Abyss was filled with a powerful great emperor aura! ¡°It can¡¯t be!¡± ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s also the legacy of a great emperor?¡± Chapter 249 - 249 Defeating the Ancient Princes 2 249 Defeating the Ancient Princes 2 ¡°What a pity! We don¡¯t even know what this change is. What treasure has fallen into the hands of the Elder King again?¡± Ji Daozi laughed. It seemed that Qin Chen had gained a lot in the Emperor Burial Abyss. The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng couldn¡¯t sit still any longer. He roared, ¡°Does the Elder King want to take all the treasures for himself?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We can¡¯t just return empty-handed. If the Elder King dares to do this, don¡¯t blame us for being impolite and suppressing him under the Emperor Burial Abyss forever! He will never be able to reincarnate!¡± Sage Emperor Taiyang¡¯s son also spoke angrily. He clenched his fists and his face was ashen. The two ancient princes had never been so humiliated before. They had long been displeased with the Elder King and wanted to join forces to suppress him. ¡°Ancient princes, watch your words. Even if you go up against the Elder King together, you will still be suppressed!¡± ¡°What kind of person is the Elder King? Even the ancient princes can¡¯t be his match.¡± In the eyes of these people, even the two ancient princes were inferior to the Elder King. If they were so capable, they should just make a move now. Now that the Elder King was not around, they could only say these big words to satisfy themselves. The two ancient princes almost lost their temper when they heard these people¡¯s words. In the end, they only used their high cultivation realm to intimidate these people and didn¡¯t attack. In their opinion, there was no point in dealing with these people. If they could suppress the Elder King, it would definitely be proof of their strength. ¡°Seize the opportunity!¡± A shout was heard. The big black pot had awakened the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark! On the innate sword embryo, the runes disappeared and a powerful emperor¡¯s might emerged. It was as if Supreme Emperor Huang had reappeared in the world! Qin Chen did not dare to waste this great opportunity and released his divine sense. The emperor¡¯s might was so terrifying that the innate sword embryo, which mark had been awakened, had burst out with unparalleled power. The big black pot was also exhausted and could no longer help Qin Chen. Whether or not the extreme weapon would recognize him as its master depended on his luck. One could only imagine how terrifying an extreme weapon like the innate sword embryo was. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were burning with desire. He immediately used his divine sense to approach the heavenly emperor¡¯s mark. Finally, he got close to the mark and fused with it. In an instant, Qin Chen felt that his consciousness had already established a trace of connection with the innate sword embryo. He could control the innate sword embryo with a single thought. It was a success! ¡°The innate sword embryo has already recognized you as its master. I promised to give you an extreme weapon and I didn¡¯t go back on my word, did I?¡± Qin Chen, who had obtained the innate sword embryo, could not contain his joy! This was an extreme weapon that had been repeatedly refined by two great emperors. When Qin Chen wielded it, his combat strength soared. Once the God in the innate sword embryo was awakened, it would be able to shake an entire region. If several extreme weapons displayed their might at the same time, an entire region would be destroyed! Such was the power of extreme weapons. With an extreme weapon in hand, the Taiyi Holy Land was now able to challenge the many imperial clans and immortal heritages of the great emperors. Once the extreme weapon was activated, it would be terrifying! With an extreme weapon in hand, Qin Chen wished he could go to the ancestral lands of the ten thousand ancient races immediately and reason with them. This was the power of extreme weapons. Even if Qin Chen went to the ten thousand ancient races now, he would still be able to return safely. The ten thousand ancient races were also extremely wary of extreme weapons. The big black pot, which had helped Qin Chen awaken the heavenly sovereign¡¯s mark, was now extremely weak. It seemed to have lost its previous energy. Then, Qin Chen put away the extreme weapon. His aim in coming to the Emperor Burial Abyss was the extreme weapon, the innate sword embryo. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the innate sword embryo that had been refined by two great emperors was. ¡°I need to sleep for some time. There are still many forbidden grounds in the Emperor Burial Abyss that have terrifying power. I can¡¯t force my way in or I¡¯ll lose my life.¡± Qin Chen also knew how terrifying the Emperor Burial Abyss was. After he kept the big black pot, Qin Chen muttered to himself, ¡°Did this Emperor Burial Abyss really bury a great emperor? Just what terrifying thing happened in the past that caused a great emperor to die here?¡± Perhaps no one knew the details of all this, except for the big black pot. However, whenever Qin Chen asked the pot about it, it would remain silent. Qin Chen, who had already obtained an extreme weapon, was very satisfied. This trip to the Emperor Burial Abyss had not been in vain. ¡°In other words, other than some terrifying places, we can go about in the Emperor Burial Abyss to explore and find opportunities, right?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s breathing was rapid. The deeper they went, the more precious the treasures in the Emperor Burial Abyss were. If they could obtain the treasures, it would be a great opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the others had yet to arrive at the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, Qin Chen and the big scorpion could still plunder more to see if there were other treasures. After all, there were even extreme weapons here, so there might be other opportunities, and these opportunities were quietly waiting for Qin Chen and the big scorpion to explore. ¡°We can¡¯t let those treasures be buried in the Emperor Burial Abyss!¡± The big scorpion was excited. A day passed quickly. Qin Chen and the big scorpion searched the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss repeatedly. Finally, they stopped in a pile of ruins. There were powerful traces of energy left here, and Qin Chen guessed that they were left behind by the great emperor. [Ding!] [Detected that the current location is filled with divinity, would you like to check in?] Qin Chen stood in front of the ruins and nodded. He said in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± Chapter 250 - 250 Defeating the Ancient Princes 3 250 Defeating the Ancient Princes 3 [Congratulations to the host for checking in at the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. You have obtained a section of phoenix scarlet gold.] [Phoenix scarlet gold: A divine gold material used to refine extreme weapons. It is of the purest yang and scorching. It is as red as the blood of a phoenix and is born with the patterns of a divine phoenix.] After reading the system¡¯s introduction, Qin Chen was instantly excited. To think he had obtained the phoenix scarlet gold! It was a pity that the portion described by the system was only the size of half of Qin Chen¡¯s palm. However, this was the first time he had obtained such a rare treasure. This was a valuable item, a true treasure. A great emperor could only make one extreme weapon once in his life, and the materials to make one were extremely difficult to find. Even great emperors had to go through a lot of hardships to obtain the materials to make extreme weapons. The ten thousand ancient races couldn¡¯t even produce such divine materials, let alone the half-palm-sized phoenix scarlet gold that Qin Chen had obtained by just checking in. Now that the innate sword embryo had just recognized Qin Chen as its master, this half-palm-sized phoenix scarlet gold was perfect for the innate sword embryo to devour, so that it could become even stronger. With that, such a precious treasure was devoured by Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo. Even if a great emperor saw it, he would have to exclaim, ¡°How extravagant! If there was enough of the phoenix scarlet gold, a great emperor could refine an extreme weapon. Qin Chen did not feel any heartache when the innate sword embryo devoured the phoenix scarlet gold. After all, he was not a great emperor yet. Even if he collected enough divine materials to make an extreme weapon, he would not be able to make one. Therefore, it was better to let the innate sword embryo devour it now. After the innate sword embryo devoured the piece of phoenix scarlet gold, it trembled slightly and let out a happy sound, as if it was very fond of Qin Chen. The big scorpion cried out, ¡°There¡¯s a treasure! Hurry over!¡± Qin Chen heard the big scorpion¡¯s words and immediately went over. The big scorpion saw a mine of jade. The jade was very powerful and emitted a powerful aura. It would probably be a good material to refine into some magical weapons. As expected, there were too many treasures in the Emperor Burial Abyss. Qin Chen picked up one of the jade stones and felt the strong power within it. Even if he used all his strength, he could not crush it. He didn¡¯t know what this jade was exactly, but it seemed to be some kind of mysterious material. If he kept all of them, he might be able to refine a Sage robe. With so many jade stones, it was more than enough to refine a Sage robe. Up until now, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had not discovered any danger in the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. As for the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, without the big black pot, they were unable to pass through the black clouds that contained the extremely terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. Unable to pass through the black tribulation cloud, they could only wait. By now, they had already plundered the entire third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, not letting anything go. Even if the other cultivators and ancient princes arrived, they would only be able to watch helplessly. Qin Chen was not afraid of anyone in a head-on confrontation! Not only did he have an extreme weapon, but he also had a quasi-emperor-grade array disk that could kill any creature below the quasi-emperor realm. Unfortunately, it was a one-time-use item. Otherwise, Qin Chen would be able to squander it freely and roam the nine Heavens and ten lands. The tribulation clouds on the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss had yet to disperse, so Qin Chen could only wait. At this moment, the tribulation clouds on the third layer had already dispersed, allowing the ten thousand ancient races and the human race to finally enter. They were extremely eager. Perhaps the Elder King had left them something? After all of them had entered, they were dumbfounded. The whole place was empty. They even suspected that they were still in the second layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Damn it! He took them all away! If I find that Elder King, I will definitely destroy his body and soul!¡± The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng roared. This time, even before the son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang could speak, he could not control himself! The Elder King had taken away all the treasures. Could it be that they had come to the Emperor Burial Abyss to sightsee? Ji Daozi also had a face full of doubts about life. Could it be that the Elder King wanted to monopolize all the opportunities? Fortunately, the Elder King was a human. If the other party had been a member of the ten thousand ancient races, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to endure it. At this moment, Qin Chen walked out with the big scorpion. Without the big black pot, they could not go to the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss in advance. Seeing the Elder King appear, many of the ten thousand ancient races began to clamor. Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son¡¯s face turned gloomy. Could it be that the Elder King had been waiting for them here? Previously, the Elder King had said that when he entered the Emperor Burial Abyss, he would definitely settle the score with him. Could it be that the Elder King wanted to start a great battle here? ¡°Elder King, quickly spit out the treasure that you¡¯ve eaten! If the two ancient princes of my primordial sage race were to make a move, you will definitely regret being born in this world!¡± Sheng Xuan¡¯s expression was also not the slightest bit pleasant. The treasures of the Emperor Burial Abyss had all been plundered by the Elder King and he had left nothing behind. This was simply infuriating. He also wanted an explanation! ¡°Since they¡¯re ownerless items, it naturally belongs to the capable. The Elder King of the human race has the ability, but you demand him to hand the treasures over? In your dreams!¡± ¡°Even the two ancient princes together are no match for the human Elder King. Since you¡¯re so capable, go on and fight! The Elder King will definitely suppress you with ease!¡± ¡°Impudent!¡± Sheng Xuan roared in anger. These humans didn¡¯t know the immensity of the Heavens and Earth. To think they were challenging the dignity of the primordial sage race! The Godly aura unleashed from his body was intimidating, and it silenced many of those who were challenging his authority. Chapter 251 - 251 Defeat the Ancient Princes 251 Defeat the Ancient Princes With just a thought, a human cultivator¡¯s body exploded! Just because of one sentence, he killed one person. Sheng Xuan was really too overbearing. They still regarded the human race as they were in the past. Qin Chen was also furious. He would make the old dog Sheng Xuan pay the price! With that, Qin Chen pointed at the two ancient princes of Sage Emperor Tai Yang and Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng. A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, ¡°Ancient princes, do you dare to fight me?¡± The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng snorted coldly, ¡°Elder King, if you lose, you will have to give up everything you have and destroy your cultivation. Do you dare to agree to this condition?¡± Qin Chen laughed, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of biting your tongue from saying such words? We¡¯ll see who¡¯s capable and who¡¯s not. I¡¯ll definitely suppress you today!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng to make a move, I can do it alone! Elder King, take my attack!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son was furious. Many rays of light appeared under his feet as he charged toward Qin Chen. The three of them were already enemies, and now that Qin Chen had an extreme weapon in his hand, he was naturally fearless. Why would he be afraid of two mere ancient princes? Even if Sheng Xuan wouldn¡¯t be able to leave this place alive! Seeing Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son charging over was exactly what Qin Chen wanted. After Heaven and Earth had been restored, the full power of the Chaotic Holy Body had been activated. He punched out heavily. Ji Daozi had no intention of making a move. Instead, he was staring at the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng. He was afraid that if the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng made a move secretly, wouldn¡¯t he sneak attack the Elder King? Qin Chen punched out, and the void actually shattered. The power of his Chaotic Holy Body was no less than that of the primordial sage race. Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son also gave it his all. He had long wanted to see if this Elder King, who was rumored to be extremely powerful, was really that powerful. The two of them threw a punch that contained the rules of the heavens at each other. Countless people¡¯s expressions changed. In the past, Qin Chen had killed many experts of the ten thousand ancient races. How could he be afraid of Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son? Sage Emperor Tai Yang had long passed away. Even though his son had sealed himself to this era, Qin Chen still did not take him seriously. It was not like the human race had never produced great emperors who ruled over the ages. There was no need to fear the tyrannical might of other races. Blood dripped from the arm of Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. He was no match for Qin Chen. Qin Chen already had the reserves to prove his path and become an Emperor. The son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang was simply inferior in front of him. ¡°Kill!¡± Being injured by the Elder King was something that the proud Son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang could not accept. At that moment, he finally used his trump card. ¡°Holy Heaven Plam Imprint!¡± This was an emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, and its power was even greater when it was executed by the ancient prince, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. Qin Chen also smacked his palm down, ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± The two exchanged palm attacks and the battle ended with Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son at a disadvantage. Even in terms of emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Qin Chen still won. ¡°Pu!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son spat out blood and retreated. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate the enemy! I¡¯ll help you!¡± The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. If this continued, they would probably be defeated by the mighty Elder King. Ji Daozi, who had been staring at him, blocked the path of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng¡¯s son, stopping him. ¡°The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng, if you want to fight, I can entertain you.¡± No one had expected that the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race, rumored to have physiques at the level of the Primordial Holy Body, would be defeated by the human Elder King. It seemed that there was nothing to fear of these so-called imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races. Sheng Xuan¡¯s expression was gloomy. The Elder King was extremely talented. If he were allowed to continue growing, he would probably become the next quasi-emperor of the human race. Sage Emperor Tai Yang was so powerful, yet his son had actually been defeated by the human Elder King. One could only imagine how powerful the Elder King was. ¡°I told you, the sons of Heavenly Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang are simply no match for the Elder King.¡± Chapter 252 - 252 Suppressing Sage Emperor Tai Yangs Son 252 Suppressing Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s Son ¡°The two ancient princes are nothing more than this. It¡¯s better for them to just leave as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass themselves,¡± One of the human cultivators was excited to see Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son defeated by the Elder King. ¡°You¡¯re too noisy!¡± Sheng Xuan flew into a rage out of humiliation and slapped the human cultivator, trying to kill him. However, he had not expected the Elder King to take action and protect this human. ¡°Sheng Xuan old dog, if you insist on attacking, then I¡¯ll kill you even if I have to give it my all.¡± For a moment, Sheng Xuan remembered the news that the Elder King had killed the Taisheng Pavilion¡¯s elder from the nine Heavens. He just didn¡¯t know if the Elder King had done it personally. If the Elder King had such means¡­ Under various considerations, he still stopped. However, the Elder King had no intention of letting Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son go. Not long ago, the other party had plotted against him. Now that it was time to settle the score, he could not let him go. ¡°Son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang, you won¡¯t be able to escape today!¡± Qin Chen used his Moving Secret Technique and went past Sheng Xuan, wanting to kill Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. The Desolate Divine Halberd appeared in his hand out of thin air. Qin Chen did not hold back anymore. He activated the Desolate Divine Halberd with all his might and struck out the first strike of the Eight Desolation Strikes, Desolation Destruction! Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son was both shocked and furious. Did Qin Chen really think that he could defeat him? As Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son, he had many tricks left behind by his father. Now, he had no choice but to use them. ¡°Demon Furnace!¡± A furnace appeared, activated by Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. The terrifying flames turned into a ferocious fire dragon that pounced at Qin Chen. Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son would be gravely mistaken if he thought that he could stop Qin Chen with just this. The Five Feathers Fan appeared in the latter¡¯s hand, and a roc¡¯s cry was heard. A fiery tornado shook the Demon Furnace, and the fire dragon was also shattered into pieces like snowflakes. This was the Five Feathers Fan that Qin Chen had refined, a Sage King supreme-grade weapon! However, the son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang was still madly trying to activate the Demon Furnace. Qin Chen was unafraid. After all, he had personally refined the Five Feathers Fan, so he was naturally confident that even after the Demon Furnace was awakened, it would still be no match for his fan. Qin Chen roared and activated the Five Feathers Fan with all his might. The starry sky trembled as the figure of a thousand-foot huge roc appeared. The cry of a roc could be heard as the golden-winged roc rushed toward Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son with a mighty aura! After the Demon Furnace was activated, it produced a demon dragon with extremely terrifying power. As expected of the protective treasure that Sage Emperor Tai Yang had left for his son. The golden-winged roc and the demon dragon were like two divine beasts that had traveled through time and space. They were extremely life-like and the battle between the two was extremely intense. In the end, half of the demon dragon¡¯s horn was cut off by the golden light from the golden-winged roc¡¯s wings, while the wings of the roc were pierced through by the dragon¡¯s light. The fight seemed so real! The eyes of the cultivators from the ten thousand ancient races and the human race widened. If these two divine beasts were still alive, they would definitely be one of the top great demon Supreme Sages. ¡°Pu!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son couldn¡¯t hold on any longer, and a backlash came from the Demon Furnace in his hand, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the golden-winged roc defeated the demon dragon, and its illusory figure dissipated. With this, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son prepared to escape. After all, if he continued to stay, he might really be suppressed by the Elder King today. He was the son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang, and his father was unparalleled in the world. He could not embarrass his father. ¡°Where are you running to, Son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang?¡± Qin Chen hurriedly chased after him. Once the other party escaped, he would not be able to find such a good opportunity again. Seeing that Qin Chen was chasing after him, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son was extremely angry. Naturally, Sage Emperor Tai Yang did not just leave him a furnace. He also had other means. Unfortunately, those means could only be used once. He didn¡¯t want to waste them on Elder King. ¡°Damned Elder King! Are you really not afraid of death?¡± Qin Chen laughed, ¡°You only know how to talk! If you have any other means, just show them now!¡± He pursued Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son endlessly. Countless human cultivators cheered! Even if Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s so was nothing more than this! He was still being chased by the powerful and invincible Elder King. ¡°Little ancestor!¡± Sheng Xuan was furious. To think the Elder King bullied the primordial sage race to such an extent and didn¡¯t even put him, a God, in his eyes. ¡°Human Elder King, die!¡± Sheng Xuan was a God-realm expert of the primordial sage race. He was one of the top experts in the entire Canglan Continent. At this moment, he attacked with all his might, wanting to block Qin Chen and kill him here. If this Elder King continued to grow, no one would be able to suppress him. Sheng Xuan was definitely a top expert in the primordial era. Back in his era, all the talents of the ten thousand ancient races were overshadowed by him. It was rumored that he had once killed a God realm expert when he was only in the Supreme Sage realm. Now that he had become a God realm expert, he was naturally full of confidence. He didn¡¯t believe that the Elder King still had any means to suppress him. In an instant, the aura of a God-realm expert burst out, unleashed from Sheng Xuan¡¯s body. He struck out with countless Great Path rules in an attempt to take down the Elder King. ¡°Today, I vow to suppress Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son!¡± Qin Chen was not the least bit afraid of Sheng Xuan. After all, he had an extreme weapon. As long as he activated the extreme weapon, the innate sword embryo, he didn¡¯t have to be afraid of a God realm expert at all! Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body showed its might. The Great Path in the heavens buzzed and actually broke through Sheng Xuan¡¯s sealing attacks. Seeing Qin Chen charging over, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son¡¯s face turned as red as a pig¡¯s liver. ¡°Not good!¡± No matter how much Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son wanted to escape, Qin Chen still caught up with him. Qin Chen sent the chains of the Great Path smashing down, turning into an inescapable net! ¡°No!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son was unable to escape as he was bound by the chains of the Great Path. Before he could use the technique left behind by Sage Emperor Tai Yang, Qin Chen soared and slapped down. The powerful force was so terrifying that it turned the ground into a huge pit! The son of the Sage Emperor Tai Yang from the primordial sage race was directly suppressed at the bottom of the pit! ¡°Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son has been, has been suppressed?!¡± ¡°How is this possible?!¡± ¡°As a member of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ imperial clans, the unparalleled son of Sage Emperor Tai Yang has been suppressed by the human race¡¯s Elder King!¡± This scene was so shocking that many of the ten thousand ancient races couldn¡¯t accept it. They were the rulers of the continent during the primordial era, and Sage Emperor Tai Yang was a heavenly sovereign who ruled the entire era. How could his son be suppressed by the human race¡¯s Elder King? No matter how much they didn¡¯t believe the cruel truth, it was still right in front of them. Even Sheng Xuan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was a God of the primordial sage race, yet he couldn¡¯t protect the little ancestor. It was all his fault! It was all his fault! Even if Sheng Xuan were to die, he couldn¡¯t face the ancestors of the primordial sage race. Chapter 253 - 253 Great Battle with Sheng Xuan 253 Great Battle with Sheng Xuan The human cultivators gasped. To think the human Elder King was so terrifying! He did it! He suppressed Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son in the Emperor Burial Abyss! At this moment, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son had already fainted in the huge pit. If he had known that this would happen, he would not have allowed the human race¡¯s Elder King to suppress him here, even if he had to use the means that his father had left for him. Sheng Xuan had now gone a little crazy. ¡°Good! Good! Very good! Since you, the human race¡¯s Elder King, do this, then even if I have to risk my life, I will kill you! I will make it so that the human race no longer has an Elder King!¡± Sheng Xuan roared. His entire body emitted divine light as he circulated his primordial emperor supernormal knowledge circulated in his palm. Without any hesitation, he struck out with his palm, tearing the void apart. He wanted to kill the human Elder King right here and now! ¡°To think the Elder King did it! Let¡¯s see what confidence the so-called ten thousand ancient races still have!¡± ¡°The human race is destined to rise. Even the imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races can¡¯t stop us! ¡°Not good! Sheng Xuan wants to kill the Elder King here!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a God-realm expert! The Elder King is in danger!¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? Don¡¯t forget that the human race¡¯s Elder King was able to kill a God-realm expert from the nine Heavens. How could a mere Sheng Xuan be more powerful than the Taisheng Pavilion¡¯s elder?¡± ¡°Well said! Don¡¯t boost other people¡¯s morale and destroy your own.¡± ¡°I think the Elder King must have a way to deal with Sheng Xuan.¡± When Sheng Xuan heard these words, he was even more furious. He should have killed this human Elder King long ago. Now, the latter had even suppressed Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son from the primordial sage race. At this point, even if he committed suicide, he wouldn¡¯t be able to atone for his sins. Only Elder King¡¯s head could wash away this humiliation! Since the other party had humiliated the ten thousand ancient races to such an extent, the Elder King had to die! The ten thousand ancient races cultivators felt much more comforted when they saw Sheng Xuan go all out. As long as Lord Sheng Xuan took action, no matter how heaven-defying the human race¡¯s Elder King was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to cause any trouble. ¡°Lord Sheng Xuan, kill him!¡± ¡°Only by killing the human Elder King can we rule the world again and occupy the vast land of the continent!¡± All along, the ten thousand ancient races had wanted to once again dominate the Canglan Continent. Unfortunately, they had never succeeded. Instead, the human race had become increasingly arrogant. Starting from the pegasus race, space race, and many other ten thousand ancient races that were exterminated, the human race had become more and more arrogant because of the Elder King. One had to know that in the era of the ten thousand ancient races, these lowly humans had been raised as food to raise their blood energy. Now, not only did they occupy a large area, but they had also exterminated many of the ten thousand ancient races. Such a situation was all related to the human race¡¯s Elder King! If the primordial sage race¡¯s God-realm expert, Sheng Xuan, could kill the human race¡¯s Elder King here, the morale of the human race would be greatly suppressed. As time passed, the ten thousand ancient races would definitely return to their glorious peaks of the primordial era and stand at the top of this land again. The human race would once again become their food and be raised as livestock by the ten thousand ancient races. Almost all of the ten thousand ancient races cultivators placed their hopes on Sheng Xuan. As long as the human Elder King didn¡¯t escape, Sheng Xuan could easily kill him. Sheng Xuan didn¡¯t know where the human race¡¯s Elder King had obtained such a powerful movement technique, but today, he vowed to kill the other party! ¡°Human Elder King, hand over your life! I can make you die a less painful death!¡± Sheng Xuan was an expert with unparalleled talent. If he had enough opportunities, he might even become a quasi-emperor at the right time and place! The human Elder King was only a Supreme Sage. There was a huge gap between the Supreme Sage realm and the God Realm. No matter how monstrous the Elder King was, he could only die at the hands of Sheng Xuan today! Sheng Xuan wanted to help Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son wash away the humiliation and show the humans that they were nothing but ants. They would never be able to overturn the situation and rise again. Sheng Xuan roared and chased after Qin Chen. He did not hold back at all. He immediately burst out with all his strength and struck out a few supernormal knowledge. Faced with a God-realm expert, Qin Chen was very aware that he was not a match. As such, he took out the innate sword embryo, which was an extreme weapon with a God residing inside. If it was revived, it could destroy the world! Furthermore, the innate sword embryo was forged from divine materials and had been refined by two great emperors. It was undoubtedly one of the most powerful extreme emperor weapons. The innate sword embryo was originally a weapon used by Supreme Emperor Huang in his early years. Later on, it was smelted into the Emperor-slaying Sword. However, for some reason, this sword embryo had appeared here again. Furthermore, it had been refined by another great emperor. As a result, its power was unparalleled among the extreme weapons. The innate sword embryo was transparent and only as long as an arm. After absorbing the phoenix scarlet gold that Qin Chen fed it, it had long transformed and now had an extraordinary appearance! Looking at Sheng Xuan charging over, Qin Chen communicated with the innate sword embryo and easily got a response. With this, so what if he had to fight with Sheng Xuan? The ten thousand ancient races were still arrogant and thought that they were still living in the primordial era. Little did they know that the human race had long caught up with them. The ten thousand ancient races had heavenly sovereigns, but the human race had peerless great emperors! What was that? Sheng Xuan did not know what weapon Qin Chen had taken out. Did the latter think that any ordinary weapon would be able to block his attack? It was extremely laughable! Sheng Xuan couldn¡¯t wait to see the human race Elder King get killed. The human race would probably be depressed and lose the courage to resist the ten thousand ancient races then. This was because the current Elder King would be their ending Qin Chen did not activate the innate sword embryo, so even though the extreme weapon was quite powerful, it did not seem shocking. And now, Sheng Xuan¡¯s attack had arrived! The space crumbled and the strange phenomena were terrifying. The supernormal knowledge of a God-realm expert was simply suffocating. It was at this critical moment that Qin Chen activated the innate sword embryo. As an extreme weapon, it was extremely terrifying once awakened! A destructive aura hit Sheng Xuan in the face and his heart turned cold as he cried out, ¡°This is an extreme weapon!¡± No wonder the Elder King dared to make a move. No wonder he didn¡¯t run away when faced with a God-realm expert. The reason for this was that the Elder King had an extreme weapon! This terrifying extreme weapon was slowly coming to life. The terrifying fluctuations seemed to want to kill everyone. This doomsday-like scene further proved that the Elder King was indeed holding a powerful extreme weapon! Sheng Xuan used his supernormal knowledge, but it was blocked by the extreme weapon, the innate sword embryo, which was recovering. Chapter 254 - 254 the Might of the Innate Sword Embryo 254 the Might of the Innate Sword Embryo Such a powerful extreme emperor weapon was rarely seen in the world, and it was even better than the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword! The innate sword embryo that Qin Chen had activated was slowly recovering and turning into an invincible divine weapon! Even though Sheng Xuan was a God, he couldn¡¯t fight against an extreme emperor weapon on his own. Under the suppression of the extreme emperor weapon, he could not fight back at all. ¡°So this is the treasure that the Elder King obtained in the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss? It¡¯s an extreme emperor weapon!¡± ¡°Every extreme emperor weapon has an owner. In this era where there are no great emperors, there are no new extreme emperor weapons!¡± Some of the ten thousand ancient races said in despair, ¡°Not good! Now that the human Elder King has obtained the extreme emperor weapon, the ten thousand ancient races will probably never have a chance to rise again.¡± ¡°If we want to kill the human Elder King, it¡¯ll have to be someone from the ancient imperial clans who have two extreme imperial weapons from the primordial emperors. Only then can we have a chance to kill him.¡± ¡°Are we, the ten thousand ancient races, destined to never be able to regain the glory of the primordial era in this life?¡± Qin Chen was a level 3 Supreme Sage. Now that he had activated the extreme weapon innate sword embryo, the entire Emperor Burial Abyss was trembling. When the God in the innate sword embryo was revived, it was as if two shadows of the great emperors had appeared, and the Emperor Burial Abyss seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Sheng Xuan¡¯s heart sunk into the pit of his stomach. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Human Elder King, if you insist on reviving the extreme emperor weapon, you will destroy the Emperor Burial Abyss!¡± The surroundings were already showing signs of collapse, the Emperor Burial Abyss was trembling, and cracks kept appearing on the ground. ¡°Elder King, stop! If this continues and the Emperor Burial Abyss is destroyed, we will be buried here!¡± A human Sage said, worried that the Emperor Burial Abyss would really be destroyed. Qin Chen smiled, ¡°Sheng Xuan, I vowed to kill you! All the ten thousand ancient races cultivators will be suppressed under the Emperor Burial Abyss!¡± For a time, strange phenomena occurred in the Emperor Burial Abyss, and the space was extremely unstable. The ancient battlefield was almost unable to withstand the power of the extreme emperor weapon. ¡°Elder King, have you gone crazy? If this continues, you will die here as well!¡± Even Prince Zhan tried to persuade Qin Chen to stop, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry to kill Sheng Xuan. You already have an extreme emperor weapon in your hands. You can find trouble with the primordial sage race at any time.¡± In the end, Qin Chen still stopped. He only wanted to bargain and make the primordial sage race cough up some benefits. He had achieved his goal by suppressing Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. Although there was still another ancient prince, the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng would probably not dare to be presumptuous in front of him anymore. Otherwise, he would end up like Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. ¡°Very well. Sheng Xuan, I can let this matter rest, but you have to give me something that I¡¯m satisfied with,¡± Now, Qin Chen was raising the price on the spot. After all, he had the highest authority in the entire Emperor Burial Abyss. Once he was angered, he could just awaken the extreme emperor weapon and kill everyone. For a time, many geniuses also came over to persuade Sheng Xuan. Whether it was the human race cultivators or the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, none of them wanted to see the Emperor Burial Abyss destroyed. ¡°Indeed, indeed! Old man Sheng Xuan, come on and offer up a treasure! Otherwise, if the Elder King gets angry, you¡¯ll die without a doubt. The two ancient princes of the primordial sage race will also die because of you! You will be the greatest sinner of the primordial sage race and will be spurned by all of your people!¡± The big scorpion said proudly. He stared at Sheng Xuan, wanting to see what kind of treasure the other party would take out. As for why Prince Zhan and the other geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races didn¡¯t do anything, it was to preserve their strength. This was the enmity between the primordial sage race and the Elder King, and they simply didn¡¯t want to get involved. Sheng Xuan wanted to slap the big scorpion to death. The latter was clearly not human, yet he allied with the human race to attack the ten thousand ancient races. If the primordial sage race¡¯s extreme emperor weapon was here, how could he be so sullen? ¡°What do you want?¡± Sheng Xuan naturally knew that if he didn¡¯t suffer some losses this time, he wouldn¡¯t be able to satisfy the appetite of the human race Elder King. Now, the tables had turned. It was Sheng Xuan¡¯s turn to beg Qin Chen to let the primordial sage race go. Qin Chen smiled and sized up Sheng Xuan, ¡°It¡¯s not about what I want. It¡¯s about what you have.¡± These words set the basis. The human Elder King simply wanted to extort them. Either way, Sheng Xuan was now suppressed by Qin Chen. As long as the latter asked, he had to give it to him no matter what! At this moment, the big scorpion sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°Kid, I came to the Emperor Burial Abyss with you and it¡¯s extremely dangerous. You just obtained an extreme emperor weapon, so you have to give me 70% of the treasures that old man Sheng Xuan spits out!¡± Qin Chen was speechless. Anything could be an excuse for the big scorpion to ask for something. The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng walked towards Sheng Xuan and the two whispered to each other. The two of them didn¡¯t use any voice transmission. Instead, they used a secret technique to isolate themselves from any probing. Even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying. ¡°Elder King, I¡¯m willing to hand over a quasi-emperor-grade weapon. How about it?¡± Sheng Xuan made a decision in his heart and said after discussing it with the son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng. ¡°A quasi-emperor weapon?¡± Even in Qin Chen¡¯s hands, he only had one quasi-emperor-grade weapon, the Desolate Divine Halberd. This was truly a valuable treasure. Other than extreme emperor weapons, the quasi-emperor-grade weapons were the most powerful. In an era where great emperors were no longer around, a quasi-emperor-grade weapon was already the goal of countless experts. Sheng Xuan threw a short knife at Qin Chen from his storage ring. When the short knife was traveling across space, it could cut open the space. God knows what divine material it was made of, but it looked like an extraordinary quasi-emperor-grade weapon. After all, only a quasi-emperor-grade weapon could have such power. When Qin Chen held the quasi-emperor-grade weapon, he finally let Sheng Xuan and the others go. ¡°System, please identify what weapon this is.¡± Of course, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t recognize the dagger, so he let the system identify it. After a while, the system responded. [Taibai Sword, a weapon of Sheng Chi, a quasi-emperor in the mythological era. It¡¯s a quasi-emperor-grade weapon.] So this was a weapon left behind by a quasi-emperor of the primordial sage race. Qin Chen was secretly amazed. It seemed that the primordial sage race had a lot of resources. Otherwise, they would not have been willing to give up a quasi-emperor-grade weapon just like that. It must be known that such a weapon would be a supreme treasure among the ten thousand races. Seeing that Qin Chen had obtained a powerful dagger, the big scorpion¡¯s eyes turned red with greed. What a treasure! He only had a large saber, which was a Supreme Sage weapon. So, he squeezed out a smile at Qin Chen and quickly asked for the short blade, ¡°Kid, since you already have an extreme weapon, give me this short blade. I feel that the short blade and I are fated. With it, my combat strength will definitely be greatly improved¡­¡± Seeing the big scorpion asking for the Taibai Sword, Qin Chen had no intention of giving the sword to him. After all, the Taibai Sword was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon and simply too precious. Chapter 255 - 255 Entering the Fourth Layer 255 Entering the Fourth Layer ¡°Elder King, aren¡¯t you being too mean? I risked my life to accompany you into the Emperor Burial Abyss. You already have an extreme emperor weapon, yet you¡¯re still so stingy. You don¡¯t even want to give me a short blade,¡± The big scorpion transmitted its voice to Qin Chen with a displeased expression. When the big scorpion wanted something from Qin Chen, he would respectfully call the other party the Elder King. In contrast, if there was nothing, he would just call him ¡°kid¡±. Qin Chen made up his mind that he could not give the quasi-emperor weapon to the big scorpion. After all, the precious Taibai Sword might have some other use in the future. Now that big scorpion had a Supreme Sage weapon, he naturally didn¡¯t need a quasi-emperor weapon. Sheng Xuan asked, ¡°Is the Elder King satisfied?¡± When Sheng Xuan threw out the Taibai Sword, many of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ geniuses recognized it. This short blade was a weapon left behind by a quasi-emperor of the primordial sage race. To think the quasi-emperor-grade weapon was given to the Elder King¡­ For a moment, even many human cultivators were envious. The ancient imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races were indeed powerful. After obtaining the quasi-emperor-grade weapon, Qin Chen naturally kept his promise and did not resuscitate the innate sword embryo. Then, he put away the extreme emperor weapon, which was glowing with chaotic force and was on the verge of awakening. Just by looking at it, one could feel its terrifying power. Following this, Sheng Xuan hurriedly rescued Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son from the crater. It took a while for the ancient prince to wake up. Once he did, he gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Chen, ¡°Human Elder King, if you¡¯re not afraid of death, then fight me again!¡± Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son, who had passed out, naturally did not know that Qin Chen had revealed an extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. ¡°Little ancestor! Be careful with your words!¡± Sheng Xuan hurriedly stopped Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son. Even though Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son indeed had many techniques left behind by his father, he was still no match for the Elder King. After all, the latter now had an extreme emperor weapon and could destroy the Emperor Burial Abyss with a lift of his hand. Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son glared at Sheng Xuan. To think Sheng Xuan wasn¡¯t helping him, but as the primordial sage race¡¯s God-realm expert, he was even trying to stop him from getting back his dignity. The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng hurriedly gave Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son a look, and only then did the latter stop resentfully and shut up. After that, Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng¡¯s son transmitted a message to Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son, which surprised the latter greatly! To think there had been an extreme emperor weapon in the Emperor Burial Abyss! Unfortunately, it had already recognized the Elder King as its master and was now in his hands. What a pity! After missing out on an extreme emperor weapon, who knew what other incredible treasures the Elder King had obtained in the Emperor Burial Abyss? In an instant, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son also understood the painstaking efforts of Sheng Xuan. After all, the primordial sage race had just paid a quasi-emperor-grade weapon! Only then did they manage to appease the human Elder King. Thinking of this, Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son could not help but sigh. He had not expected that he would not be a match for the Elder King. Instead, he had been suppressed by the other party. The human Elder King was indeed a peerless monster. Ji Daozi spoke up, ¡°It¡¯s said that the Emperor Burial Abyss has a fourth layer that doesn¡¯t exist. However, we don¡¯t know where it is. Why don¡¯t we split up and search for it?¡± There was a non-existent fourth layer in the Emperor Burial Abyss? The phrases ¡°non-existent¡± and ¡°the fourth layer¡± were mutually contradictory. Since it did not exist, why would there be a fourth layer? Qin Chen looked at Ji Daozi. It was obvious that the other party knew some secrets. After all, he was an outstanding person who could compete with the great emperors. When they thought about the ¡°non-existent fourth layer¡± of the Emperor Burial Abyss, the other human race cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races became interested. After all, there were even extreme emperor weapons in the Emperor Burial Abyss, so there might be other supreme treasures! If they could enter the fourth layer first, their chances of obtaining supreme treasures would increase greatly. In an instant, many talents spread out and searched the third layer. ¡°Daoist Ji, is there any information about the ¡°non-existent fourth layer¡± of the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± Qin Chen asked very politely. After all, Ji Daozi was the descendant of the Great Emperor Xu Kong. Back then, he had even fought with other great emperors for supremacy before sealing himself up until this era. The other party definitely knew something. The big black pot was still in a deep sleep, so now, Qin Chen could only rely on himself and the big scorpion. Ji Daozi smiled and said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s just a few words I saw from an ancient book.¡± An imperial clan that had once produced the Great Emperor Xu Kong was indeed extraordinary. To think they had records regarding the Emperor Burial Abyss. He wondered what was recorded in the ancient book. Seeing Ji Daozi¡¯s expression, Qin Chen no longer asked and simply followed him. Since the other party knew some secrets, perhaps he could find the fourth layer. At that time, if he followed Ji Daozi, he would be able to enter the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss at the first opportunity. The one who knew the most about the Emperor Burial Abyss was probably the big black pot. However, it was still in deep sleep after helping Qin Chen to obtain an extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. No one knew when it would wake up again. Without the big black pot¡¯s chattering, Qin Chen and the big scorpion felt quite strange instead. Ji Daozi did not mind Qin Chen and the big scorpion following him. He closed his eyes as if he was sensing something. The big scorpion followed suit and closed his eyes. Then, his expression instantly froze! This was actually the way to enter the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss! He quickly shut his mouth, afraid that he would accidentally spill the beans. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°I have found the way to enter the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± ¡°What?¡± To think the big scorpion had found it! Qin Chen wanted to call out to Ji Daozi, but the big scorpion urged him, ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry, we won¡¯t make it.¡± The big scorpion asked Qin Chen to close his eyes. Qin Chen did not understand why he had to close his eyes, but when did, he seemed to see a passage. To think this was actually the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss! The big scorpion was not far away. How did he suddenly come to the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss? Qin Chen thought back and finally realized that Ji Daozi had long known how to enter the fourth layer. Yet, those human cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were still searching everywhere foolishly. ¡°However, is this really the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± Qin Chen did not believe it. After all, he ¡°reached¡± the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss by closing his eyes. Could this be an illusory spiritual world? Thinking of this impossible situation, Qin Chen was quite surprised. This was too strange, right? Could it be that there was an almighty expert who created a spiritual battlefield here on the ancient battlefield? The big scorpion naturally urged Qin Chen to enter the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss with him. God knows how long Ji Daozi had been in there. Chapter 256 - 256 The Ancient City 256 The Ancient City Ji Daozi had been in there for so long, had he already obtained the treasures? When he thought of the treasure, the big scorpion couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He hurriedly dragged Qin Chen in. ¡°Old Ji! You¡¯re not a good friend!¡± The big scorpion immediately called for Ji Daozi upon entering and rushed to the front, running even faster than Qin Chen. For the sake of treasures, the big scorpion was seriously fearless. Before they could figure out if there was any danger in the spiritual world, the big scorpion simply ran in recklessly. In the place, there wasn¡¯t even a shadow of Ji Daozi. However, what Qin Chen could be sure of was that the other party had indeed discovered the non-existent fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss. He must have gone deeper in by now. The big scorpion beat his chest and stomped his feet in regret as he ran, looking very comical. In the outside world, on the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, many human race cultivators and geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were already doubting their lives. How could there be a hidden entrance on the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss? They had almost turned the third layer upside down, but they couldn¡¯t even find a fart. They wondered if Ji Daozi was deliberately deceiving them. ¡°Not good!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a scheme to divert our attention!¡± ¡°Have any of you seen Ji Daozi, the Elder King, and that big scorpion?¡± ¡°Could it be that they¡¯ve already found the entrance and sneaked in?¡± ¡°Hurry! Let¡¯s go find them!¡± The group of people rushed back to their original spot and were immediately stunned. Ji Daozi, the Elder King, and the big scorpion were indeed still at the same spot. Could the three of them have fallen into a trap? ¡°Everyone, be careful. Perhaps the third layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss has already undergone a change. These three people should have already fallen into the trap!¡± Immediately, these people became 120% vigilant to prevent themselves from ending up like Ji Daozi and the other two. But in the end, they realized that there was no danger in their surroundings. Ji Daozi and the other two still didn¡¯t move and the powerful Elder King even had his eyes closed. No one knew what they were doing. A few hours later, a human cultivator exclaimed, ¡°I found the entrance to the fourth layer!¡± He then closed his eyes. The ten thousand ancient races were shocked. Yet another person had silently closed his eyes. What did he mean? In the end, the cultivators tried to close their eyes one after another and never opened them again. Sheng Xuan noticed the pattern and shouted, ¡°Everyone, close your eyes!¡± At this point, the big scorpion and Qin Chen had already traveled a long distance before finally seeing Ji Daozi¡¯s back. However, they couldn¡¯t catch up to the other party no matter what. Qin Chen pulled the big scorpion back, ¡°Stop!¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen in confusion and said anxiously, ¡°Ji Daozi is right in front! Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that even if you used all your skills, you still couldn¡¯t catch up?¡± Seeing that Ji Daozi¡¯s figure was getting further and further away, almost disappearing from sight, the bid scorpion was so anxious that he tugged Qin Chen and wanted to rush again to see if they could catch up. In this spiritual world, most of the rules were the same as in the outside world. However, the only thing that could be used here was spiritual power. If they stupidly chased after Ji Daozi, they might die of exhaustion before they could catch up. Qin Chen tried to use his perception to chase after the other party, and the result was that he instantly left the big scorpion far behind. ¡°Use your spiritual power!¡± Qin Chen roared, hoping that the big scorpion could hear him. The big scorpion, who had been left far behind, stomped its feet in anger on the spot. But fortunately, he finally understood that in the spiritual world, he had to use his spiritual power. With that, he quickly chased after Qin Chen. Seeing that the big scorpion had caught up with him, the former said to Qin Chen anxiously, ¡°Don¡¯t let Old Ji get all the treasures!¡± The two of them moved forward again. God knows how big the spiritual world was. Even though Qin Chen and the big scorpion¡¯s speed had accelerated by more than a hundred times, the scenery around them was still the same. ¡°Old Ji has entered the ancient city!¡± An ancient city appeared in the distance. At the foot of the city were piles of corpses and broken rocks. It seemed to be an ancient battlefield. Could that place in front be the battlefield of the spiritual world? Old Ji¡¯s figure did not stop and rushed straight in. Who was it that had a great battle in the Emperor Burial Abyss? Could this non-existent fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss be the spiritual battlefield where those beings fought? Qin Chen and the big scorpion finally entered the ancient city. The ancient city seemed to have maintained the same state as it was during the war. The blood on the city walls had not even dried up and was still warm. The big scorpion realized that the blood in the ancient city was exuding terrifying pressure. God knows what kind of existence had left it behind for it to be so terrifying. Qin Chen didn¡¯t have time to look at the blood as he rushed into the ancient city. The ancient city was in ruins, with pools of blood that had yet to dry, and broken weapons. The setting sun was blood-red, and the ancient city was deathly silent. [Divinity remains had been detected here. Would you like to check in?] [Note: You can repeatedly check in here!] The system¡¯s cold voice rang out. Qin Chen had never thought that he could check-in in into the spiritual world. ¡°Check-in!¡± [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the great emperor-grade secret technique, Fleeting Dream!] Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately opened the system¡¯s introduction. [Fleeting Dream: Great Emperor Xu Kong¡¯s secret technique. After casting it, one can enter a small spiritual world and control the rules of the spiritual world.] What? This was the secret technique left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong? The Great Emperor Xu Kong was born in the remote antiquity era, even earlier than the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He had used the infinite void to prove his path and controlled the extreme of space. In the chaotic era, the great emperor had shown his divine power and fought against the Heavens alone, shaking the void. To think such a powerful existence had left his mark here. Could it be that this spiritual battlefield was created by the Great Emperor Xu Kong? It only took Qin Chen a short while to comprehend the great emperor-grade secret technique, Fleeting Dream. Then, Ji Daozi¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Elder King, big scorpion, you two have also come.¡± The big scorpion hurriedly said, ¡°Daoist Ji, you knew the way to enter, but to think you didn¡¯t tell us. Are there any treasures here?¡± In the distance, Ji Daozi arrived quietly and walked to Qin Chen and the big scorpion. ¡°This place is related to my ancestor, Great Emperor Xu Kong. That¡¯s why I know how to enter. ¡± Qin Chen nodded and said, ¡°Daoist Ji, are there any treasures here?¡± Ji Daozi said slowly, ¡°Of course. It¡¯s just that one has to pass the test to get the treasures. I¡¯m not strong enough, so I didn¡¯t try.¡± One should know that Ji Daozi was a level 9 Supreme Sage who had once competed with the great emperors for hegemony. How could there be a test that could stop him? ¡°Please take a look,¡± Ji Daozi pointed forward, ¡°There¡¯s an ancient mirror in front. It¡¯s a hundred feet long and can release terrifying power. Even Supreme Sages are at risk of dying.¡± ¡°Can Daoist Ji tell me where this place is?¡± Although Qin Chen had a vague guess, he still needed Ji Daozi to tell him the whole story. Chapter 257 - 257 The Terrifying Ancient Mirror 257 The Terrifying Ancient Mirror It was, after all, the Ji family that had given birth to the Great Emperor Xu Kong. Many clues in the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss pointed to the great emperor. As such, Qin Chen hoped to learn more information from Ji Daozi and understand everything. Ji Daozi sighed, ¡°Some things have long been buried in the passage of time. I don¡¯t know much. I only know that this is a battlefield left behind by the great emperors. The ancient city once had a great emperor. In the past, my family¡¯s Great Emperor Xu Kong stood in this ancient city and fought.¡± What? An emperor-realm battle actually broke out here? Qin Chen took a deep breath, ¡°Who is the great emperor fighting with?¡± Ji Daozi said slowly as if recalling some secrets, ¡°There seems to be an incredible existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss that the great emperor has to suppress.¡± Right! The innate sword embryo was an extreme weapon that was once used by Supreme Emperor Huang, so he must have been here before. In addition to the other great emperor who had refined the innate sword embryo, he currently knew that there were a total of three great emperors who had been here. Qin Chen looked at the ancient mirror in the distance. It was said that Great Emperor Xu Kong¡¯s emperor weapon was an ancient mirror. He wondered if it was related to the Ji family¡¯s emperor weapon. What secret did the Emperor Burial Abyss have? After waiting for so long, the big scorpion couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He immediately rushed over, ¡°Little brat, I¡¯ll scout the path for you first!¡± Qin Chen was speechless. This big scorpion wanted the treasure himself, but to think he used him as an excuse. In the end, the big scorpion was sent flying by the emperor¡¯s might from the ancient mirror. For a moment, only screams could be heard. Upon seeing this, Ji Daozi smiled and looked at Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, are you willing to give it a try? From what I know, there are many treasures in that ancient mirror. In this spiritual world, if one¡¯s will is destroyed, one will die in reality. However, it¡¯s not easy to destroy a will when killing someone won¡¯t kill.¡± Ji Daozi explained the rules of the spiritual world. Since the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss was left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong, Ji Daozi definitely knew the rules of the spiritual battlefield. ¡°I see,¡± Qin Chen nodded and looked at the ancient mirror. He had already cultivated the great emperor-grade secret technique, Fleeting Dream. It was worth a try. Ji Daozi watched as Qin Chen prepared to leave and took out a small mirror. The small mirror had an ancient and simple shape, and it was somewhat similar to the huge ancient mirror. ¡°This is a replica of the Void Mirror,¡± Ji Daozi said with a faint smile as if he had seen through Qin Chen¡¯s puzzlement. ¡°Crack!¡± Between heaven and earth, a bolt of thunder struck the ancient city. The power was so strong that the big scorpion was directly split into two halves. But in just a short while, he had recovered. He was scared out of his wits. What happened just now? Did he die? If this was the outside world, the big scorpion would have been dead. However, in the spiritual world, he would not die. Instead, he would be resurrected. Unless his will was erased, the big scorpion would not die. The big scorpion could not help but gasp after learning about that. It turned out that he had indeed died once just now and had just walked past the gates of hell. He looked at Qin Chen and no longer dared to rush in front. Qin Chen and Ji Daozi laughed when they saw the big scorpion¡¯s expression. Qin Chen adjusted his condition to its peak and cast Fleeting Dream before rushing forward. Since he had cultivated Fleeing Dream, he could thus control the rules of this spiritual world. It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t even get close to the ancient mirror left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong. If he wanted to defeat the ancient mirror, he would have to do it himself. Ji Daozi was slightly surprised. He had not expected Qin Chen to be able to control the rules of this place. Logically speaking, this spiritual world was created by Great Emperor Xu Kong. As this generation¡¯s successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Qin Chen should not be able to control it. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen simply dodged the thunder when the ancient mirror struck him. Even Ji Daozi couldn¡¯t avoid the thunder. He could only take out the small mirror to absorb the attack. As time passed, Qin Chen was already close to the ancient mirror. The ancient mirror exploded with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, causing Qin Chen to vomit blood. It was comparable to the power of an extreme Emperor weapon. Fortunately, people would not die in this spiritual world. After being sent flying, he charged forward again. A terrifying giant palm appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. The Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint! In an instant, the surrounding void shattered. Qin Chen¡¯s attack almost hit the ancient mirror, but it was just a little off. This time, it seemed to have angered the ancient mirror. In the outside world, many human race cultivators had already arrived at the ancient city. Even the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races had arrived. However, upon entering the ancient city, they were just in time to witness the ancient mirror¡¯s power. Terrifying thunder was released incessantly from the ancient mirror, falling madly like torrential rain. The crowd screamed in pain! Although they wouldn¡¯t die from being struck, they would still feel pain. The reason why the big scorpion had become so afraid before was that he had died once and felt the pain of death. As such, he cowered. However, Qin Chen and Ji Daozi were unafraid. They allowed the terrifying thunder shining bright with white light to land on their bodies. Qin Chen¡¯s body was instantly torn apart, but it quickly reassembled itself. As for Ji Daozi, he held the small mirror and exploded with terrifying combat power, dissipating all the lightning bolts without being injured at all. Qin Chen was stunned. He had died once, and the extreme pain made him finally understand why the big scorpion did not dare to charge forward again. Unfortunately, the big scorpion had just died again from the thunder that fell from the ancient mirror. It was now wailing and screaming in pain. The human race cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races had all retreated outside the ancient city. ¡°This is too terrifying. The power of those thunderbolts is probably comparable to the revival of an extreme weapon,¡± This was also the first time Sheng Xuan had come to the spiritual world. Looking at the raging lightning in the ancient city, he said in fear, ¡°Little ancestors, you must not enter.¡± The sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang both nodded their heads with lingering fear. To think the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss was so terrifying. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of dying. Prince Zhan and the others also felt their hearts pounding. ¡°Did the human race¡¯s Elder King and the others die in there?¡± They didn¡¯t expect that brutal thunder enough to kill God-realm experts would be flashing in the ancient city. Even if the extreme weapons were resurrected, their power would probably not be much stronger than this. Could it be that there was another extreme weapon in the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss? Chapter 258 - 258 Supreme Sages as Soldiers, Gods as Generals 258 Supreme Sages as Soldiers, Gods as Generals ¡°In my opinion, the human Elder King and the others are dead for sure.¡± ¡°Even a God realm expert would be turned into ashes by these thunderbolts. I wonder who left this behind.¡± ¡°When the thunder stops, everyone can enter and see if there are any treasures.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that our human race¡¯s Elder King who¡¯s invincible was killed in the ancient city on the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss.¡± ¡°The luck of the human race is about to run out. The ten thousand ancient races will definitely return to the glory of the primordial era!¡± ¡°Shut up! The human race¡¯s Elder King will not die so easily.¡± Many of the ten thousand ancient races were gloating. Some human cultivators clenched their fists, not believing that the Elder King would die just like that. Sage Emperor Tai Yang¡¯s son, who had been suppressed by the Elder King, felt extremely pleased. If the Elder King died just like that, it could be considered that they had taken their revenge. The son of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng also had the same thought. They were waiting for the lightning that was wreaking havoc in the ancient city to stop. They wanted to see with their own eyes that the Elder King and the others had died here. However, to their surprise, although the thunderbolts in the ancient city were enough to kill God-realm experts countless times, they could still hear the big scorpion screaming in pain incessantly. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t the big scorpion dead?¡± ¡°I wonder why that big scorpion is acting like that. Could it be that he is immortal?¡± Someone used a secret technique to send their divine senses over and saw that the human Elder King, Ji Daozi, and the big scorpion were all alive! However, his divine sense was soon shattered by the lightning. ¡°The Elder King is not dead!¡± That person delivered the news despite the pain of his soul being torn apart. ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°The human Elder King is only at level three of the Supreme Sage realm. How could he survive?¡± Before they could question it, an even greater attack landed in the ancient city and the entire ancient city began to tremble. Qin Chen did not know how many times he had died. He was already numb to the pain of death, or rather, he was used to it. Even if his body was shattered and reborn, he could still remain calm. Ji Daozi couldn¡¯t help but admire him. The human Elder King was indeed a proud talent favored by the Gods. When he saw how Qin Chen was unperturbed, he was deeply shocked. In the end, Qin Chen gathered his strength and snorted. He clenched his hand and used the rule of force. With that, the Chaotic Holy Body showed its might, and the Great Paths of the heavens buzzed! Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body became extremely terrifying. Thousands of paths buzzed, and the terrifying aura froze the terrifying thunderbolts in the ancient city in the void. Following this, a punch landed! ¡°Break!¡± With a furious roar, Qin Chen actually broke a hole in the ancient mirror. Since the ancient mirror wanted to stop him, he would just shatter it! The lightning continued to fall. Ji Daozi took out the small mirror and helped Qin Chen block the lightning, allowing him to take the big scorpion away. The three of them entered the gap in the ancient mirror. After an unknown amount of time, the ancient mirror recovered, and the thunderbolts no longer struck. The human race cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races outside the city carefully entered. There was nothing on the ground. Could it be that Elder King and the rest had been reduced to nothing by the lightning? However, they searched the entire ancient city and found nothing. ¡°The Elder King and the others are definitely not dead,¡± Prince Zhan said. His battle sage ape race had a secret technique that could lock onto the aura of living beings. Although Elder King and the others had disappeared, there was still a faint aura. It was obvious that they were not dead. But if they didn¡¯t die, where did they go? Could it be that they could only follow the path that the Elder King and the others had just taken? Sheng Xuan didn¡¯t believe that the Elder King and the others could survive for so long under the thunderbolt attacks that could kill God-level experts. There must be some secret. After entering the gap in the ancient mirror, finally, there was no more lightning. The big scorpion had just recovered from the pain of dying and being reborn, but he was immediately stunned. In front of them was a group of ghost soldiers who were not to be trifled with. The fluctuations coming from their bodies even included the might of God-realm experts, though most of them were still in the Supreme Sage realm. ¡°Oh my God, what is this place?¡± Faced with so many ghost soldiers, it can¡¯t be that they had to fight all of these ghost soldiers, right? Although they wouldn¡¯t die, the pain of dying, again and again, was enough to drive any living being crazy. At first, the big scorpion thought that he had already walked out of danger, but he did not expect to fall into another danger again. Qin Chen looked into the distance. At the rear of these ghost soldiers, there was a ghost general. The fluctuation of the divine aura was coming from the ghost general. ¡°These ghost soldiers have been resurrected.¡± Ji Daozi looked at the ghost soldiers in front of him. A red light flickered in their eyes, and a cold wind rose. He instantly had a bad feeling. It couldn¡¯t be that they had to kill these ghost soldiers, right? Qin Chen watched as the ghost soldiers resurrected one by one. At a glance, there were so many of them that he had no idea how many Supreme Sage realm ghost soldiers there were. ¡°These ghost soldiers are all Supreme Sages. What kind of battle broke out here?¡± With so many ghost soldiers, there might be tens of thousands of them. Once they left the Emperor Burial Abyss, not even a God-realm expert could stop them. These ghost soldiers were so terrifying that even the ten lands combined could not stop them. Even if all the dynasties, Holy Lands, and ten thousand ancient races worked together, they might not be a match for these Supreme Sage realm ghost soldiers. The key was that these Supreme Sage ghost soldiers did not feel pain and did not fear death. This was the most terrifying part. Only extreme emperor weapons could stop them temporarily. However, once extreme emperor weapons were revived, the entire ten lands would be destroyed. Even Ji Daozi, who had the Great Emperor Xu Kong as his ancestor, was astonished. He had never heard of so many Supreme Sage realm ghost soldiers. With Supreme Sages as soldiers and Gods as generals, could it be that they were actually fighting great emperors? Qin Chen took in a sharp intake of cold air. Only a great emperor had the right to command such an army. Fortunately, the army only existed in the spiritual world and would not leave. ¡°In other words, the ancient mirror is used to suppress these Supreme Sage ghost soldiers?¡± No one knew what would happen when so many ghost soldiers were resurrected. The big scorpion was on the verge of collapsing. ¡°How can the Emperor Burial Abyss be so terrifying?¡± Qin Chen was not afraid at all. After all, in this spiritual world, he would not die. Even if he died, he would be resurrected. Since that was the case, what was there to be afraid of? Ji Daozi was not afraid as well. The small mirror exploded with terrifying power. ¡°Those ghost soldiers are coming!¡± The resurrected ghost soldiers were like the dead with no intelligence. They were shrouded in terrifying black gas. Suddenly, gusts of cold wind blew past, bringing with them the aura of death. With that, the Supreme Sage realm ghost soldiers moved in unison and charged toward Qin Chen, Ji Daozi, and the big scorpion! Chapter 259 - 259 God 259 God-realm Ghost General ¡°Sink into all kinds of suffering!¡± Countless Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers charged at Qin Chen and the others with golden spears and armored horses. The Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers were still waking up one after another. One could imagine that this was only the spiritual world. If there were so many Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers in the outside world, no one in the ten lands would be able to stop them in the era when great emperors were extinct! Even God-realm experts had to consider to question of how many Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers they could kill when they were besieged by so many. The final outcome would definitely be death if they didn¡¯t retreat. If they used the extreme emperor weapons, the ten lands would be riddled with holes and destroyed. These were the consequences of Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers¡¯ revival in the real world. ¡°What exactly is the secret in the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± Qin Chen could tell that these Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers did not belong to the human race or the ten thousand ancient races. They seemed to have come from another world, a world of the undead. No wonder the Great Emperor Xu Kong would appear in the Emperor Burial Abyss. Even Supreme Emperor Huang and the other great emperor had appeared here before. The ghost soldiers that Qin Chen and the others saw on the first layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss were probably the weakest of the ghost soldiers who could only be considered cannon fodder. ¡°Do it!¡± Ji Daozi held the small mirror in his hand and released a monstrous power. He had used the small mirror to absorb a lot of thunderbolts from the ancient mirror just now, and now they came in handy. The small mirror released terrifying lightning bolts that swept across the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers! It directly caused the souls of these ghost soldiers to scatter and turn into nothingness. After all, the lightning was capable of destroying God-realm experts. At this moment, in Ji Daozi¡¯s hands, it had become an absolute treasure. As for Qin Chen, he held the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand and poured his divine power into the halberd. A terrifying power burst out and shattered the void. Although he had the extreme emperor weapon innate sword embryo, it did not appear in this spiritual world. It was probably because it was too powerful to be brought into this spiritual world with his will. Therefore, he could only use his existing means to fight against these Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers. ¡°Your grandpa scorpion is here!¡± Even the big scorpion roared and unleashed his Supreme Sage might. With the Supreme Sage weapon in his hand, it was as if a peerless demonic Sage had appeared. ¡°Kill!¡± Although it was only Qin Chen and the other two, they still used all their means to kill these Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers. Some of the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers who had just been resurrected were struck by the lightning and turned into dust on the spot. The Desolate Divine Halberd was thrown out, and the void crumbled in an instant. Sharp energy blades were shot out continuously. Qin Chen then activated the great halberd in his hand and used Desolate Killing! With that, the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers¡¯ bodies were directly sliced open and they died. A huge blade slashed down on a Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldier¡¯s body. Unfortunately, the ghost soldier did not feel pain. Instead, he was only left with his killing instinct as he forced the big scorpion back. The big scorpion roared in anger and executed his supernormal knowledge to chop off the head of the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldier! ¡°Not good!¡± The big scorpion seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He looked at Qin Chen and Ji Daozi and roared, ¡°Elder King, Old Ji, although these ghost soldiers are dead, they are still slowly coming back to life!¡± At the place where they were killed, the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers seemed to be like Qin Chen and the others. They would die, but since their will was not destroyed, they would slowly gather and revive again, launching attacks at Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed drastically. How could they fight against this? Even if they fought for tens of millions of years, both they and the ghost soldiers would probably not die. ¡°Old Ji! What should we do?¡± Similarly, Ji Daozi¡¯s expression was also grave. He had never thought that these Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers would be undying like them. At the same time, a terrifying aura burst out. It was the aura of a God-realm expert! Qin Chen and the others looked over. Surrounded by layers and layers of the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers was a God-realm ghost general that was being resurrected! ¡°We¡¯re finished!¡± The big scorpion was in despair. Although they wouldn¡¯t die, if the God-realm ghost general resurrected, he would kill them continuously. They would resurrect and be killed again, and their will would be trapped here forever, suffering the pain of purgatory. Ji Daozi seemed to have opened his eye, a vertical eye that had magically appeared in the center of his brows. He used the secret technique left behind by the Great Emperor Xu Kong and the eye shot out a golden light. ¡°It¡¯s that God-realm ghost general! As long as we can kill the God-realm Ghost general, these ghost soldiers will die without us even having to attack. If we want to get rid of this problem forever, the only way is to obliterate the will of the God-realm ghost general and make him die completely! ¡± It turned out that the God-realm ghost general was the source of all the problems! As long as they could kill the God-realm ghost general that was hiding in the depths of the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers, everything would be solved! However, the God-realm ghost general had the combat strength of a God-realm expert. Even if Qin Chen and the others used all their techniques, they would not be able to kill the God-realm ghost general, let alone wipe out his will. The situation was extremely critical as more and more Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers were resurrected. They surrounded and protected the God-realm ghost general. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t even reach that God-realm ghost general! At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s body trembled! [Ding!] [Divinity remains have been found here. Would you like to check in?] [Note: You can repeatedly check in here!] The system¡¯s voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen¡¯s ears, giving him quite a scare. He was extremely surprised. He had not expected that he could check in at the spiritual world on the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss! Qin Chen gulped and muttered in his heart, ¡°System, check in here.¡± [Ding!] [Congratulations to the host for checking on the ancient battlefield. You have obtained the great emperor¡¯s secret treasure, Demon-suppressing Celestial Field!] Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with shock. He immediately opened the system introduction. [Demon-suppressing Celestial Field: The secret treasure of the Great Emperor Xu Kong. It is a one-time consumable item. After using the Demon-suppressing Celestial Field, it can suppress the soul of any expert at and below the God realm.] Didn¡¯t this mean that he could directly obliterate the will of the God-realm ghost general? With that, an array appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, exuding a strong emperor¡¯s might. As expected of a secret treasure refined by a great emperor. It was so terrifying! The Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers continued to surround and protect the God-level Ghost general as they charged over like a black tide! The small mirror in Ji Daozi¡¯s hand, the Void Mirror replica, had cracked and was about to be unusable. Seeing that the God-realm ghost general was about to be resurrected and that they would fall into the most terrifying purgatory, the big scorpion cried out in sorrow, ¡°I never thought that I, Scorpion Sage, would actually die here while suffering all kinds of hellish pain!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The God-realm ghost general had completely resurrected. Black smoke curled around his body as he stared at Qin Chen and the others as if he still had some consciousness! ¡°I¡¯m finally resurrected! The Great Emperor Xu Kong, don¡¯t even think about stopping nine Heavens and ten lands from becoming a demonic land! Kekeke¡­¡± As expected, the Great Emperor Xu Kong was the one who had suppressed this God-realm ghost general here. Unfortunately for him, if Qin Chen hadn¡¯t checked in, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to do anything to this God-realm ghost general. But now, Qin Chen had a treasure that could kill the other party, so he was not afraid at all! Chapter 260 - 260 Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? 260 Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? But now, Qin Chen was holding a secret treasure refined by the Great Emperor Xu Kong. Naturally, he was not afraid of the God-realm ghost general. ¡°if you surrender, I can spare your lives and make you my ghost soldiers!¡± Qin Chen smiled as he looked at the God-realm ghost general and said calmly, ¡°You should just go die. The Great Emperor Xu Kong didn¡¯t kill you but left you to this era. Unfortunately, you¡¯re simply a disaster.¡± With that, Qin Chen infused his divine power into the great emperor¡¯s secret treasure, the Demon-suppressing Celestial Field. In an instant, the emperor¡¯s might tore countless Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers into nothingness and wiped out their will. The God-realm ghost general, who had just been revived, was extremely terrified, ¡°The Great Emperor Xu Kong actually still has a backup plan? Little brat! The nine Heavens and ten lands are destined to become the demonic land of the extraterrestrial demon race! The human race and the ten thousand ancient races will all be enslaved by us demons! Hahaha, hahaha!¡± The God-realm ghost general only had time to say a few words before he was killed by the activated Demon-suppressing Celestial Field. The wills on the ancient battlefield were being massacred by the demon-suppressing celestial force released by the Demon-suppressing Celestial Field, which seemed to have formed a small world. In the end, even the will of the God-realm ghost general was completely obliterated by the Demon-suppressing Celestial Field! The entire ancient battlefield was swept clean. It was as if the countless Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers and the powerful God-realm ghost general that Qin Chen and the others had seen were all illusions. The big scorpion was stunned. Then, he burst out laughing, ¡°Kid, I knew you had a backup plan.¡± Ji Daozi also knew what kind of terrifying catastrophe it would bring to the nine Heavens and ten lands if the will of these Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers were allowed to leave the spiritual world and return to their bodies. He cupped his hands at Qin Chen, ¡°Thank you for making a move, Elder King.¡± At the same time, the bodies of the Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers and the God-realm ghost general who had their wills wiped out that were still somewhere in the Emperor Burial Abyss were directly disintegrated and turned into dust. Fortunately, the Elder King had intervened in this crisis. Qin Chen¡¯s heart ached a little though. After all, this was a treasure that he had just obtained from checking in. If he took it to the outside world, it would definitely become one of his trump cards, enough to kill Sheng Xuan. There seemed to be something left behind on this ancient battlefield. The starry sky was dotted, and it was beautiful. The big scorpion used his hand to absorb some of it, and it actually entered his body directly. ¡°My spiritual power seems to have increased a lot.¡± Could this be an opportunity left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong? Only by killing those Supreme Sage-realm ghost soldiers could one obtain it? In an instant, the big scorpion began to absorb the energy. The entire ancient battlefield was dotted with stars. Qin Chen and Ji Daozi would naturally not give it to each other as well. Only when all the starry dots in the ancient battlefield had been absorbed did Qin Chen could not help but say, ¡°I feel that my spiritual power seems to be twice as strong as before.¡± Ji Daozi and the big scorpion also benefited greatly. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Countless human cultivators and geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races were tormented by the boundless thunderbolts over and over again. Even the God-realm expert, Sheng Xuan, was no exception. Only then did they finally learn that they would not die in the spiritual world. Following this, with a loud bang, the ancient mirror actually shattered! Qin Chen and the others walked out, and the raging lightning finally stopped. ¡°It¡¯s the Elder King and the others!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be, right? Not a scrap of the opportunities on the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss has been left for us again?¡± ¡°This can¡¯t do, I¡¯m going to die of anger.¡± No one dared to attack Qin Chen and the others. This was because they could feel that the spiritual power pressure of Qin Chen and the others were far more terrifying than theirs. They could simply crush them in the spiritual world. They could only watch as Qin Chen and the others left. When they left the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, Qin Chen opened his eyes. Ji Daozi and the big scorpion also woke up. The human race cultivators and geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races woke up as well. their expressions were worse than if they had eaten flies. All the benefits had been taken by the human race¡¯s Elder King. At this moment, Qin Chen felt that his spiritual power was actually comparable to that of a God-realm expert! The Great Emperor Xu Kong was quite generous, allowing his spiritual power to reach the level of a God. There shouldn¡¯t be any more opportunities in the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Juniors, get out of here immediately!¡± A divine sound suddenly rang out. It was as if the blue sky was falling, causing many people to vomit blood. This voice came from the depths of the Emperor Burial Abyss which was still endless darkness. No one knew if there was any great danger there. The owner of the voice was countless times more powerful than a God-realm expert. ¡°Who is it?¡± Many were extremely flustered. Could it be that some ancient existences were lurking in the Emperor Burial Abyss? In the Emperor Burial Abyss, another voice sounded, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to leave, then stay.¡± Even the God-realm expert, Sheng Xuan, knew that he was no match! Could it be that the hidden existences in the Emperor Burial Abyss were about to come out? A cold laugh was heard, ¡°Since they don¡¯t want to leave, they can all die!¡± Sheng Xuan grabbed the sons of Heaven Sovereign Tai Sheng and Sage Emperor Tai Yang and immediately fled. He couldn¡¯t care less about the other primordial sage race¡¯s geniuses. He was seriously afraid that the beings of the Emperor Burial Abyss would attack them. However, since the Emperor Burial Abyss had such powerful existences, why did they allow them to enter? Killing intent rose to the sky! It was from the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss, and its killing intent seemed to cross the times! ¡°Since you have alarmed us, you must be beheaded!¡± The emperor¡¯s sword in Qin Chen¡¯s storage ring flew out. The God within it automatically recovered! An imposing man appeared! The Celestial Divine Sword Embryo formed the illusions of the world, up to the nine Heavens and down to the underworld below! With just a glance, it was as if the long river of time had been cut off, and a shocking emperor¡¯s might suppressed the nine Heavens and ten lands! ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± Sheng Xuan exclaimed! ¡°The heavenly emperor is still alive!¡± The humans were shocked. The innate sword embryo unleashed thousands of divine strands and shone with celestial light that brightened up the Empeeorr Burial Abyss. Like an eternal existence, an extreme emperor might burst out! This was the place where he had once fought. However, the most shocking thing was still the tall and sturdy man. Just one look at his figure was unforgettable. He was the most powerful great emperor of the human race! ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± A cry of surprise came from below the Emperor Burial Abyss. As soon as the emperor¡¯s might was unleashed, the entire Emperor Burial Abyss was shaken as if a tsunami or avalanche was coming! The might blotted out the sky, shocking the past and the present, causing countless terrifying existences to tremble in fear. ¡°What¡­ Shouldn¡¯t the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor have left long ago? Why is he back?¡± The terrifying ripples shook the ten thousand ancient races, as well as the various Holy Lands and dynasties of the human race! Seeing this scene, they almost knelt on the ground. That imposing figure made them tremble in worship. ¡°The heavenly emperor! It¡¯s really him! I wonder how many years have passed¡­ Has he been alive until now?¡± Some existences were able to confirm that the man was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor from the traces he had left behind. They were all stunned when they saw his figure. Chapter 261 - 261 Life Forbidden Zone 261 Life Forbidden Zone There were too many legends about the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He had fought his entire life and had even killed his most powerful enemy. His past had already become a fascinating story that countless humans yearned to duplicate. He had fought endlessly and victoriously, intimidating all races in the universe! Back when the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was still alive, countless ten thousand ancient races and peerless existences in the vast universe had to submit or die! At that time, the human race was the true master of Heaven and Earth. No race dared to appear. If they did, they would definitely bow their heads to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, they could only die. That was how he got the title of ¡°heavenly emperor¡±! If this was the true body of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, let alone the various ten thousand ancient races, even the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss would have to tremble in fear. The killing intent that had rushed out from the Emperor Burial Abyss was broken by this imposing figure with a snap of his fingers. The entire Emperor Burial Abyss was boiling and a single attack pierced into the Emperor Burial Abyss¡¯s underground. Qin Chen stood there. He knew that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was no longer around. Instead, he had headed to a certain place during the primordial era for battle. The innate sword embryo hovered above the tall and sturdy figure, looking down on the world with an imperishable and eternal presence. Naturally, this was not the true Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He had disappeared countless years ago. This was only the awakening of the God in the innate sword embryo to protect Qin Chen from being killed. Qin Chen also had the Chaotic Holy Body and the innate sword embryo had already recognized him as its master, so it naturally awakened and reconstructed the majestic might of the heavenly emperor. ¡°Extreme emperor weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, what do you want?¡± A shout came from the bottom of the Emperor Burial Abyss. It seemed to be furious and contained emotional fluctuations. ¡°Stop the killing,¡± The imposing figure only had these three words. ¡°Good! Good! Very good!¡± The existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss seemed to have felt that the extreme emperor weapon had recognized a master. It didn¡¯t expect it to be a Supreme Sage that they let in. ¡°An emperor weapon wants to fight me?¡± The voice of the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss was cold to the extreme, sending out a towering fluctuation. The west was shaking as if it wanted to fight. ¡°Forget it,¡± Another voice said, ¡°It¡¯s not worth it after planning for so many years. Let these people go.¡± Everyone in the outside world thought that the emperor weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was about to fight against the existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. In the end, the existence that had awakened under the Emperor Burial Abyss made a concession, ¡°When I leave the Emperor Burial Abyss in the future, I will definitely settle the score with you and crush your weapon body!¡± With that, an unprecedented battle stopped. This karma was too powerful. In the future, if the existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss were to appear, it would definitely be a disaster. Who could stop them? Everyone¡¯s heart was gloomy, but fortunately, all this was only directed at Qin Chen. If Qin Chen had not let the innate sword embryo recognize him as its master, the human cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races would have been killed directly. The remaining human cultivators and the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races all left as quickly as they could! Qin Chen and the others did not dare to stay any longer. Hurry up and run. They could sense that if the existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss were to make a move, they could probably obliterate them. They had to leave quickly before these existences had any killing intent. Qin Chen even had a feeling that even if he had the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, his opponent would not be the least bit afraid of him. Rather, the other party probably even had a way to kill him. Wasn¡¯t the Emperor Burial Abyss no longer dangerous? Even if there was danger, how could the big black pot not say anything? Wasn¡¯t it sending him to his death by just rashly bringing him in? When he thought of this, Qin Chen realized that it was very likely that something had happened to the current Emperor Burial Abyss. There were even existences that could easily kill Gods lurking in the dark. After they left, a terrifying pressure erupted from the Emperor Burial Abyss as if telling the world that something terrifying had awakened. ¡°This is too terrifying!¡± The big scorpion could not even speak clearly. If the existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss were to appear, even extreme emperor weapons would be of little threat to them. Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t possibly say that they would crush the innate sword embryo in the future. It was obvious that the other party had the ability to do so. Although Qin Chen had obtained all the benefits from the Emperor Burial Abyss, he also offended the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Many thanks for Elder King¡¯s rescue,¡± Prince Zhan also appeared and cupped his fists at Qin Chen. He was the only one among the ten thousand ancient races who was grateful for Qin Chen¡¯s favor. Qin Chen also cupped his fists. This time, he had also almost died in the Emperor Burial Abyss as well. ¡°I wonder if Prince Zhan knows the origin of the terrifying existence beneath the Emperor Burial Abyss?¡± Only the great emperors could deter such existences. They must have fought with the great emperor in the past. They couldn¡¯t possibly be unknown. Prince Zhan shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve only heard from my uncle that there are terrifying existences under the life forbidden zone. This time, only with my uncle¡¯s divination that the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss could not threaten me that I dared to enter.¡± The Western Desert¡¯s battle sage ape race¡¯s ability to divine the secrets of the heavens was indeed powerful. To think they could perform divinity and know in advance that Qin Chen would be able to make the innate sword embryo recognize him as its master and escape from the Emperor Burial Abyss unscathed. Qin Chen also understood that these terrifying existences lurking under the Emperor Burial Abyss should have fought with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor before. However, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had already left. It was unknown if he was still alive. Countless years had passed, yet these existences were still alive. After that, Ji Daozi also walked over and bid farewell to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s meet again if we are fated.¡± It was clear that the traces of the Great Emperor Xu Kong had been found in the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, which made Ji Daozi extremely shocked. The big scorpion had also gained a lot this time, although most of the good things had been obtained by Qin Chen. After that, he followed Qin Chen back to the Taiyi Holy Land. Very quickly, the Emperor Burial Abyss became a life-forbidden zone once again, because the terrifying existences had awakened. Countless experts had entered the Emperor Burial Abyss to search for opportunities. If Qin Chen had not obtained the innate sword embryo, the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, including Ji Daozi and the ancient princes, would have long been killed. The ancient imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races were extremely shocked. The human cultivators already had six extreme emperor weapons, and now the Elder King had also found an extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. In the Taiyi Holy Land, the void was torn apart and the disciples all looked over. When they saw Qin Chen¡¯s face, which was covered by layers of chaotic light, their faces were filled with excitement. ¡°It¡¯s the Elder King! The Elder King has returned!¡± ¡°The Elder King is back! Quickly ring the bell to inform the entire sect.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Now that the Elder King has an extreme emperor weapon, the Taiyi Holy Land will be on par with the eternal imperial dynasties!¡± ¡°Elder King! The Elder King!¡± The disciples were going crazy. Ever since the news that the Elder King controlled the innate sword embryo to fight against the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss spread, they had been extremely joyful! With this, the Taiyi Holy Land was already on par with the Great Qin Dynasty and other Holy Lands that had extreme emperor weapons. Chapter 262 - 262 Visitors From the Extraterrestrial Races 262 Visitors From the Extraterrestrial Races Now that the Elder King had returned, how could they remain calm? The entire Taiyi Holy Land was full of vigor! Not long after, various Holy Lands and great imperial dynasties sent gifts over. The human race would naturally become stronger with the addition of an extreme emperor weapon, allowing them to fight against the ten thousand ancient races. Furthermore, the extreme emperor weapon that Qin Chen obtained, the innate sword embryo, was a weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor! This boosted the morale of the human race even more! After the news spread, Lord Dragon, Lu Xuan, and many other people in charge of the Taiyi Holy Land rushed over to see the Elder King. To them, the return of the Elder King was a big deal. Qin Chen nodded and took a step forward. In an instant, he had brought everyone back to the main hall. His terrifying divine aura suppressed everyone. Now, his spiritual power was probably comparable to that of a God-realm expert. The big scorpion showed his might as well. Although his spiritual power was not as powerful as Qin Chen¡¯s, it could still suppress all the high-ranking officials of the Taiyi Holy Land, which made him quite proud. Everyone was envious of the big scorpion. It seemed that this demonic Sage that followed Qin Chen had also gained a lot of benefits from the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°After I entered the Emperor Burial Abyss, did anything happen during this period?¡± Qin Chen asked indifferently. Lu Xuan nodded and walked up to Qin Chen. He told the latter about the appearance of the old lunatic and the fact that he had once visited some of the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°What?¡± The crazy old man was the only God-realm expert of the human race, but to think he had visited a few of the ten thousand ancient races. Could it be that the old man wanted to exterminate a few more of them? Qin Chen sighed. If the old lunatic was still in the human race, the ten thousand ancient races would not have dared to target the human race. He couldn¡¯t help but look into the distance. In the past, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had explored the depths of the Phoenix¡¯s Nest for a while, trying to find traces of the old lunatic. However, they found nothing in the end. The old lunatic had clearly left a long time ago. Now, according to Lu Xuan, the old lunatic had appeared again. Could it be related to the awakening of the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss? One must know that this time, Qin Chen and the others had witnessed how terrifying the existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss were. According to their words, they seemed to have had some interactions with the great emperors. However, there was still a huge gap between them and great emperors. Since the three great emperors, including the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, could not exterminate these terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss, Qin Chen believed that the latter would not attack the human race unless they had no other choice. Qin Chen heaved a sigh. The Demon Emperor Tomb had been completely shut down after the incident. If it did not appear itself, no one would be able to find it. After that, there had been eight of the nine forbidden grounds left. Prince Zhan had once invited Qin Chen to explore the forbidden grounds with him, but now, the Emperor Burial Abyss had also become a life-forbidden zone. Of the nine great forbidden grounds, only seven remained. Qin Chen did not know if the remaining seven forbidden grounds would also become life-forbidden zones if terrifying existences similar to those under the Emperor Burial Abyss appeared. They could no longer enter the Emperor Burial Abyss now. Any cultivator who had survived knew that even if they had an extreme weapon, they might not be able to walk out alive from the Emperor Burial Abyss. The reason was that the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss had already awakened. This would probably be quite a threat to the ten thousand ancient races. Even they wouldn¡¯t dare to easily provoke those existences. After all, the primordial emperor of the ten thousand ancient races had long followed the footsteps of the ancient great emperors and headed to a certain place to conquer. The remaining sons of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ primordial emperors were nothing to the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. They could kill as they pleased. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo, the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race and Prince Zhan would have already been killed by those terrifying existences. Not long after, there was news. Some experts from the extraterrestrial races had come from the vast star fields to look for opponents. At that time, Qin Che was cultivating in seclusion. He wanted to make the best use of his time to improve his realm. After all, he was only at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm now. Without an extreme emperor weapon, any God-realm expert could kill him. No matter how powerful the Chaotic Holy Body was, it couldn¡¯t enhance him to the point where he could cross a major realm. A Holy Land¡¯s Holy Lord was injured and on his last breath. Many of the other dynasties were also challenged. The Great Qin Dynasty had already requested help from the Elder King. The experts from the extraterrestrial race were extremely powerful. It was said that they had chosen to appear in this era to compete with the other geniuses. And now, Heaven and Earth, as well as the emperor¡¯s path had been restored. In this era, countless existences wanted to fight for the right to become an emperor. There were not many cultivators who could survive on the emperor¡¯s path. The ten lands thus became the ancient lands where many geniuses fought. ¡°Imperial Lord, please let the Minister come over and suppress the arrogance of these experts from the extraterrestrial races!¡± The Imperial Lord stood in the palace and immediately shook his head, ¡°The Minister has already sacrificed so much for the Great Qin Dynasty. This matter is not something that can not be handled, so why would we need to trouble him? I don¡¯t believe that the Great Qin Dynasty has no one who is a match for those extraterrestrial races. Stop talking, there¡¯s no need to trouble the Minister.¡± Now that Qin Chen had obtained an extreme weapon, the innate sword embryo, he, as his elder brother, had yet to congratulate his 17th brother. To think they were asking him to ask his 17th brother to come and fight again. ¡°Your Majesty¡­¡± The Imperial Lord Qin Feng shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to persuade me on this matter!¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late!¡± A figure tore through the space and arrived. It was Qin Chen. ¡°Your Majesty, I¡¯m late,¡± Qin Chen said. ¡°Seven¡­ Minister! What are you doing here?¡± Qin Chen smiled faintly, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the spies I left in the Great Qin Dynasty, I wouldn¡¯t have known that the dynasty has been forced into such a state and would still be in the dark in the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± The 9th Prince grabbed Qin Chen¡¯s hand and wanted to say something. Qin Chen simply said, ¡°As the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, this matter¡­ How can I just sit back and do nothing?¡± Then, he nodded his head, ¡°Your Majesty, leave this matter to me.¡± Thousands of words were stuck in his throat. Emperor Qin Feng wanted to tell Qin Chen, ¡°17th brother, the human race is so lucky to have you! Great Qin is so lucky to have you!¡± ¡°Could it be that the Great Qin Dynasty doesn¡¯t even have a single person who can fight?¡± ¡°I thought that the immortal heritage that Emperor Shi left for the Great Qin Dynasty would be extremely powerful. I didn¡¯t expect that all of these cultivators are sissies and wimps!¡± There were countless corpses of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s geniuses on the ground and the ground was dyed red with blood. Countless citizens of the Great Qin Dynasty were enraged. Chapter 263 - 263 The West Behemoth Race 263 The West Behemoth Race ¡°If the Minister was here, he would have turned you into ashes with a snap of his fingers!¡± ¡°There are countless men in the Great Qin Dynasty. Let me fight you!¡± A brawny man, wielding a large saber, charged forward. In the end, his head was crushed by the monster from the extraterrestrial race. Immediately, blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground, and the headless body fell powerlessly. The four-armed and two-winged monster from the extraterrestrial race with a horn on his head looked at the countless people. ¡°This kind of trash is simply dirtying my feet. It¡¯s too dirty, too dirty.¡± Then, he raised his foot high and stepped on the headless body that had just died. He used the corpse¡¯s cloth to clean his shoes. ¡°In my opinion, the Great Qin Dynasty should just go into hiding and give this piece of land to us, the west behemoth race. If Emperor Shi didn¡¯t leave behind the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword for you, I¡¯m afraid all of you, the descendants, would have been destroyed by someone long ago. Hahaha, hahaha!¡± ¡°Shut up! A barbarian dares to insult the Great Qin Dynasty!¡± The monster from the extraterrestrial race looked at a weak scholar who spoke not far away. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Great Qin Dynasty, Zhu¡­¡± Before the weak scholar could finish, the monster of the extraterrestrial race flapped his wings and disappeared. When he reappeared, there was already another person in his hand. The weak scholar who had just argued with reason was now being strangled and struggling non-stop. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re worthy of yapping in front of me? Hmm?¡± This monster from the extraterrestrial race crushed the bones of this weak scholar into powder inch by inch. With every passing minute, the scholar was suffering immense pain and suffering. ¡°As long as you say that Great Qin¡¯s people are trash, I¡¯ll let you go.¡± Even though his veins were already bulging, the scholar still did not say a word. The monster from the extraterrestrial race seemed to be a little impatient. He deliberately tore off the weak scholar¡¯s arm, which had been completely crushed. Then, he sprinkled some kind of powder on the wound. The powder could make people obediently listen to him. Rather than letting this weak scholar eat it, it was better to let his wound absorb it. It would add a lot of fun. Gradually, some time passed, and the eyes of this weak scholar no longer had any light of intelligence. ¡°Say that the people of Great Qin are all trash. Did you hear that?¡± Just as the weak-looking scholar was about to speak, his eyes widened. He seemed to have gone crazy as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Along with it was half a tongue! ¡°Disgusting!¡± The monster from the extraterrestrial race seemed to be disgusted and directly crushed the head of the weak scholar. ¡°Who else is there?! Who else does Great Qin have?¡± All of Great Qin¡¯s residents hoped for the appearance of one person only, and that was the Elder King, Great Qin¡¯s Minister. If the Minister was here today, how could he let this outrageous monster from the extraterrestrial race act so presumptuously? This was simply throwing the Great Qin on the ground and stepping on it. Even though Great Qin¡¯s residents were extremely angry, none of them was a match for the extraterrestrial race¡¯s monster. This was because the other party had already reached level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. Even in the entire ten lands, he was just one step away from becoming a God-realm expert. Even if Great Qin had an extreme weapon, it would not dare to attack a monster from an extraterrestrial race. This was because this monster was from a powerful extraterrestrial race in the galaxy that had Gods. In the galaxy, the competition between these races was even more brutal. It was also because of this that the Great Qin Dynasty did not use its extreme weapon despite the monster¡¯s impudence. If word of them using an extreme word got out, the Great Qin Dynasty would become a laughingstock. Others would probably say that the Great Qin Dynasty was getting worse and worse, to actually use an extreme emperor weapon against a Supreme Sage. The monster from the extraterrestrial race was sure that the Great Qin Dynasty would not dare to make a move against him, which was why he was so presumptuous. ¡°Great Qin should just go into hiding. There¡¯s not even a single one who can fight. If you don¡¯t have an extreme weapon, even though the western behemoth race doesn¡¯t have 10000 people, we can still take your place¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, this monster from the extraterrestrial race was beaten to the ground by a punch. Countless Great Qin citizens looked at the newcomer. When they saw that it was the Elder King, they were all extremely excited. This monster from the extraterrestrial race had made them feel incredibly sullen since he had started bullying the Great Qin because he was adamant that no one here would be his match ¡°Who are¡­¡± Once more, before the monster from the extraterrestrial race on the ground could finish his sentence, he curled up on the ground with his hands on his head. This was the effect of Qin Chen¡¯s current spiritual power that was comparable to a God-realm expert. It made the level 9 Supreme Sage monster from the extraterrestrial race kneel. At this moment, the monster from the extraterrestrial race who hadn¡¯t realized the seriousness of the situation shouted, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to attack me again, when the God of the western behemoth race comes, I¡¯ll definitely make you regret living!¡± Qin Chen sneered. With a single step, he stomped on the back of the monster¡¯s head, causing the latter to kowtow to the ground. ¡°Everyone, look at this. What kind of bullsh*t is the western behemoth race? To think he¡¯s acting like a lost dog in front of the Minister!¡± ¡°Minister! Kill him!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let him leave here alive!¡± ¡°A blood debt must be paid in blood! He has killed so many of Great Qin¡¯s people, so he must die!¡± Qin Chen directly cut off the wings and four arms of this monster from the extraterrestrial race, sealing his power. At this moment, that invincible monster from the extraterrestrial race was no different from an ordinary human. Then, Qin Chen left him on the spot and left with a sentence, ¡°You can deal with this person as you wish!¡± In an instant, countless citizens of Great Qin cheered. Some cried and knelt in the direction that Qin Chen had left. Some were extremely angry and picked up their swords before charging at the monster from the extraterrestrial race¡­ When Qin Chen returned to the palace, it had only been a while. ¡°Your Majesty, I¡¯ve already dealt with that monster from the outer realm. The Great Qin¡¯s people are dealing with him now. If the monster from the extraterrestrial race isn¡¯t dead, please kill him, Your Majesty, in case it brings trouble.¡± ¡°What?¡± Imperial Lord Qin Feng was dumbfounded. In other words, that level 9 Supreme Sage monster from an extraterrestrial race was actually defeated by his 17th brother in such a short time? One should know that the enemy was a peerless existence that was one step away from breaking through to the God realm. A Sage from the Great Qin Dynasty had witnessed the entire incident. He cupped his hands at the Imperial Lord and said, ¡°Your Majesty, that is indeed the case! I saw with my own eyes that the monster from the extraterrestrial race has been defeated by the Minister.¡± Chapter 264 - 264 Cosmic Trash 264 Cosmic Trash ¡°Hey! Have you heard? The genius of our race has been killed,¡± A creature from an extraterrestrial race with a horn on his head, four arms, and two wings looked at his fellow clansmen and said. ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty is a good place. I will make them pay the price in blood!¡± ¡°The dignity of the west behemoth race cannot be challenged by anyone! Which one of you will deal with that human Elder King?¡± ¡°Let Elder Bu Lai handle it.¡± ¡°The Elder King who was able to kill Sith in an instant can only be dealt with by Elder Bu Lai.¡± The rest of the west behemoth race nodded in agreement. ¡°Where is the Elder King?¡± Elder Bu Lai asked. He was emitting divine might and was a level 4 God-realm expert. ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land.¡± Qin Chen had already returned to the Taiyi Holy Land after killing a genius of the west behemoth race. The other party would most definitely not let him off the hook easily. The only thing he could do now was to wait for the other party to come knocking on his door. Heaven and Earth had been restored, and the emperor¡¯s path had reappeared. There were too many monstrous talents in the vast universe who would descend to the ten lands to compete with the talents. This was no longer a battle between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. It was a chaotic world where countless geniuses fought for supremacy. For example, that monstrous west behemoth race genius had already cultivated to level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm and was only one step away from becoming a God-realm expert. Unfortunately, even such a monstrous talent had been killed by Qin Chen in an instant. In the future, there would be even more monstrous geniuses from the extraterrestrial races. They would descend to the ten lands and fight with the various dynasties and Holy Lands just to fight for the right to become an Emperor. ¡°The wind is strong, and the clouds are soaring.¡± The big black pot had already recovered. When it learned that the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss had awakened, it couldn¡¯t help but shake its head. Originally, after the appearance of the Emperor Burial Abyss, those terrifying existences wouldn¡¯t have attacked the geniuses. It was a pity that they were awakened. But fortunately, Qin Chen had made the innate sword embryo recognize him as its master beforehand, which saved his life at the critical moment. The big black pot gritted its teeth and said, ¡°If it were the mythological era when the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was still alive, he would definitely destroy those insects hiding in the dark!¡± Qin Chen really wanted to know what the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss was, but when he asked this question, the big black pot stammered and simply gave a perfunctory answer. It seems he had to find the answer himself. The big black pot walked unsteadily in front of Qin Chen as it spoke, ¡°Kid, you have the Chaotic Holy Body, the same body as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor in the past. No one has become an emperor in this era, but after the restoration of Heaven and Earth, I believe you have the qualifications.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. God knows how many people were eyeing the qualification to become an emperor. For this qualification to become an emperor, they would seriously fight to the end. Even if he participated in the fight, he might not be able to become an emperor. The black pot was not surprised when it learned that Qin Chen had killed a genius of the west behemoth race. Instead, it said, ¡°There are many experts in the vast cosmic, but unfortunately, they can¡¯t become emperors there.¡± Qin Chen was a little excited, ¡°Does that mean that the powerful races in the cosmic don¡¯t have extreme emperor weapons? ¡± The big black pot looked at him with disdain and slowly said, ¡°The reason why they have come to the ten lands through the emperor path is to compete for the qualifications to become an emperor. However, we can¡¯t underestimate them. After all, the races that can survive in the cosmic are not easy to deal with.¡± In the fourth layer of the Emperor Burial Abyss, Qin Chen had obtained the opportunity left behind by Great Emperor Xu Kong, so his spiritual energy had already improved to that of a God-realm expert. Without any external help, Qin Chen could kill anyone below the God realm. With the innate sword embryo in his hands, he was not afraid of the west behemoth race. If the west behemoth race dared to come, Qin Chen would kill every single one of them. He wanted to see how strong the strong races of the cosmic were. ¡°This era is destined to be an interesting one. Even in all the previous eras, there have never been so many talents who could become emperors in one era.¡± For example, the fathers of the ancient princes of the ten thousand ancient races were primordial emperors, existences in the same realm as the great emperors. Qin Chen, Ji Daozi, and others were also geniuses who had the qualifications to become emperors if they were back in the primordial era. Of course, there were also some old monsters who were only one step away from becoming emperors. They had sealed themselves up until this era. They were the biggest obstacles to all the talents who wanted to become emperors. In the Great Qin Dynasty, an important figure arrived. It was the west behemoth race¡¯s God-realm expert. The God-realm cultivator attacked and destroyed the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s defensive array. After that, when Imperial Lord Qin Feng activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, the other party directly left, saying that it was just a warning to the Great Qin Dynasty. Then, he brought many west behemoth race Supreme Sages to the Taiyi Holy Land. Lu Xuan, who sensed the terrifying fluctuations, quickly activated the great array of the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Activate the sect¡¯s protective array!¡± The arrival of a God-realm expert was a disaster for any Holy Land without an extreme emperor weapon. However, Lu Xuan only activated the sect¡¯s protective array. He was not afraid of the God from the west behemoth race. After all, the Elder King was around. The Elder King was someone who could even kill the Taihuang Pavilion¡¯s elder from the nine Heavens, let alone a west behemoth race God-realm expert. The west behemoth race God-realm expert, with his four arms and two wings, looked quite majestic. He revealed a disdainful smile. In his opinion, such a weak defensive array would not be able to withstand a single blow. ¡°Ask the Elder King to come out! I¡¯m only looking for him this time.¡± The big scorpion was cursing as he came out of the Taiyi Holy Land and pointed at the west behemoth race God-realm expert, then he mocked, ¡°You cosmic trash, still putting on an act here. If it wasn¡¯t for me, your grandpa scorpion, not wanting to kill you, you would have long become a dead soul by my hands.¡± The west behemoth race God-realm expert was furious. Were all the living beings of the ten lands so ignorant? To think a Supreme Sage had come to challenge him, a God-realm expert. Many of the Supreme Sages of the west behemoth race couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said, ¡°Elder Bu Lai, leave it to me! Let me exterminate him!¡± Then, one of them charged at the big scorpion. The big scorpion was a level 4 Supreme Sage expert, while the west behemoth race¡¯s expert that came at him was a level 8 Supreme Sage expert. ¡°A mere level 8 Supreme Sage weakling dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Taiyi Holy Land? ¡± Before the west behemoth race expert could react, he fell to the ground. After all, the spiritual power of the big scorpion was comparable to that of a level 9 Supreme Sage. Under its sneak attack, the west behemoth race¡¯s level 8 Supreme Sage expert suffered a great loss. ¡°Small tricks!¡± The west behemoth race expert was so angry that he laughed. Since he had been such humiliated, he had to get back at the other party. With that, he charged toward the big scorpion, wanting to kill the latter. In the end, before he could get close, the big scorpion disappeared. Chapter 265 - 265 Spiritual Attack 265 Spiritual Attack At that moment, the big scorpion was already hiding in the sect¡¯s array. The west behemoth race expert stopped, ¡°What¡¯s so great about hiding? Come out!¡± The big scorpion laughed in the sect¡¯s great array, ¡°If you¡¯re so great, come in. To think trash from the cosmic dares to talk nonsense. A mere level 9 Supreme Sage is nothing in my eyes.¡± The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land burst into laughter. These west behemoth race experts had just been mocked. ¡°Get your Elder King to come out!¡± The west behemoth race God-realm expert shouted. At this moment. A wave of terrifying fluctuations spread out from the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Aren¡¯t you looking for me?¡± Qin Chen walked out step by step. His body was wrapped in a chaotic light, and even the west behemoth race God-realm expert couldn¡¯t see his appearance clearly. When the crowd saw Elder King come out, they hurriedly greeted him. Qin Chen looked at the west behemoth race experts. The west behemoth race was indeed powerful in the cosmic. To think they had a God-realm expert. No wonder they had the confidence to challenge him. ¡°You¡¯re the Elder King of the human race? My clansmen died in your hands, right?¡± The Elder King nodded and said, ¡°He did die in my hands. Why? Do you want to avenge him?¡± The west behemoth race God-realm expert was instantly enraged. In his eyes, the Taiyi Holy Land was just a bunch of weaklings. They didn¡¯t even have a God-realm expert, yet they dared to challenge him. What a joke! ¡°A life for a life. Since you, the Elder King, killed my clansmen, the Taiyi Holy Land will be destroyed today!¡± A terrifying fluctuation of divine might came from the God-realm expert¡¯s body, and he charged toward the sect array. Qin Chen silently watched as he charged over. However, the God-realm expert didn¡¯t seem to realize what kind of danger he was about to face. He didn¡¯t know why Qin Chen didn¡¯t even dodge. The former simply stood there, allowing him to attack. Almost instantly, the terrifying fluctuation slammed heavily on the sect¡¯s great array. Then, the sect¡¯s great array exploded. The Supreme Sages of the west behemoth race all cheered as if they could already see the destruction of the Taiyi Holy Land. Since they dared to offend the west behemoth race, there was no need for them to exist anymore. They might as well be destroyed. The human race was just an ant. If it was in the cosmic, such a race would have long been destroyed. They were just staying in the ten lands to survive pitifully. It wasn¡¯t just the west behemoth race that looked down on the human race. At the same time, many other powerful races in the cosmic looked down on humans as well. They didn¡¯t understand how the human race could still produce a great emperor. One had to admit that other than the great emperors of the human race who could shake the world, the rest of the human race were just ants. But now, the human race had fallen to such a state where it didn¡¯t even have God-realm experts. If it was during the primordial era, when the emperor¡¯s path was open, the west behemoth race would not have dared to be so presumptuous. However, countless years had passed, and the human race recorded by their ancestors had long lost its original glory. Even now, the Holy Lands of the human race did not even have a single God-realm expert. As such, it could be imagined that this time, the Great Path competition would definitely be less fun. Of the territories recorded by the west behemoth race, many of the human race¡¯s Holy Lands had already perished, and the ones left now were less than half of the original number. It was laughable that this human dared to attack the west behemoth race. Even if that Elder King could kill a level 9 Supreme Sage expert in seconds, he couldn¡¯t possibly withstand the attack of a God-realm expert. ¡°Human Elder King! You will pay for your arrogance! The entire Taiyi Holy Land will be destroyed because of you!¡± The west behemoth race God-realm expert was puzzled. They were clearly on the verge of death, but the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land still didn¡¯t show any panic. Instead, they stared at him with a teasing look, as if something was about to happen. At this moment, a terrifying spiritual energy seemed to have pierced through the west behemoth race God¡¯s head. He held his head as he came crashing down. The same thing had happened to the level 8 Supreme Sage expert. The west behemoth race God-realm expert took in a sharp intake of cold air. Could it be that there were experts in the Taiyi Holy Land who were comparable to Gods? If yes, why didn¡¯t they appear earlier? The west behemoth race God-realm expert immediately became cautious. He kept using his divine perception to scan the surroundings, but he found nothing. Seeing that the west behemoth race God-realm expert couldn¡¯t even get close to the Elder King, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land suddenly realized that the Elder King had become much stronger. The other west behemoth race experts didn¡¯t know what had just happened. That was a fourth-realm God-realm expert of the west behemoth race! Even in the ten lands, he was a very strong existence. Yet, they didn¡¯t expect him to fall to the ground before he even clashed with the human race Elder King. Some of the west behemoth race Supreme Sages realized that it was a spiritual attack. To think there were also beings who were proficient in spiritual attacks in the Taiyi Holy Land. The Supreme Sages of the west behemoth race simply couldn¡¯t fathom it. Could it be that there was an existence in the Taiyi Holy Land that was even more powerful than a God-realm expert? This was simply unbelievable. The entire human race had clearly declined to such a state. How could there be such a supreme existence? The west behemoth race God-realm expert recovered to his peak, then asked, ¡°Who was the one who attacked just now?¡± But no one answered him. Qin Chen looked at the frightened west behemoth race God and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Of the human race¡¯s reserves, if it still had such a powerful being, the powerful races of the entire cosmic probably wouldn¡¯t dare to take a step onto the ground. The west behemoth race God had many questions in his heart. However, he didn¡¯t find anything. Lu Xuan and the other experts looked at the west behemoth race¡¯s God-realm expert with pity. The Elder King was an existence that could kill God-realm experts. Even if this God-realm expert was at level 4 of the God realm, it would be impossible for him to survive in front of Qin Chen. The powerful races of the cosmic had come from the emperor¡¯s path, and now they were being all arrogant toward the human race. According to the Elder King¡¯s style, these powerful beings of the west behemoth race would probably all die here today. The west behemoth race God-realm expert kept looking around. Once again, he unleashed his divine might and charged toward Qin Chen. A huge saber appeared in his hand. There were mysterious Dao patterns on the saber. It was actually a peerless weapon! As the west behemoth race expert charged at Qin Chen, the void shattered. Such a powerful attack shocked everyone. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body was awakened, and the Great Path of the heavens rumbled. He wasn¡¯t the least bit afraid of the west behemoth race expert and used his spiritual attack again. A powerful spiritual attack landed on the west behemoth race God-realm expert, but this time, the latter was prepared. Chapter 266 - 266 Grand Chaos Saber Technique 266 Grand Chaos Saber Technique The west behemoth race expert roared! He simply blocked the spiritual attack. ¡°Which scoundrel is making such moves behind others¡¯ backs?¡± Qin Chen was not surprised at all that the west behemoth race expert was able to withstand his spiritual attack. After all, his current spiritual power¡¯s realm was only equivalent to a level 1 God, and the west behemoth race God-realm expert was at level 4 of the God realm. Plus, Qin Chen had already used a spiritual attack before. If the west behemoth race God couldn¡¯t resist it, he would be a fool. A race that could survive in the vast cosmic was indeed not useless. The west behemoth race expert looked at Qin Chen. He had some doubts in his heart, wondering if the spiritual attack was Qin Chen¡¯s doing. However, the latter was only a level 3 Supreme Sage, so it shouldn¡¯t be him. ¡°Human Elder King, please invite the old monster behind the Taiyi Holy Land out.¡± All the disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land knew that there were no ¡°old monsters¡± in the Holy Land. Even if there were, they were probably not as powerful as Qin Chen. ¡°This old man¡¯s blade doesn¡¯t behead nameless people!¡± Qin Chen looked at the west behemoth race God-realm and laughed. He said indifferently, ¡°Is a God-realm expert very impressive? ¡± The Supreme Sages of the west behemoth race looked at Qin Chen, not understanding why this human Elder King was so confident. ¡°The west behemoth race is one of the most powerful races in the vast cosmic. This time, we came from the emperor¡¯s path, but only one-tenth of the whole race¡¯s reserves are here. If we send out all our experts, let alone the Taiyi Holy Land, even all the Holy Lands of the ten lands combined would not be a match for us.¡± Hearing this, the experts from the Taiyi Holy Land gasped. They didn¡¯t expect the west behemoth race to be so terrifying. With so many experts, they should at least have ten God-realm experts. Right now, the only God-realm expert in the entire human race was the old madman. However, the old madman¡¯s whereabouts were very secretive, and no one knew where to find him. Without the old lunatic, many Holy Lands and dynasties would probably be destroyed. Only the dynasties and Holy Lands with extreme emperor weapons could resist. Qin Chen also frowned. He did not expect this powerful race from the cosmic to be so terrifying. Even the Taiyi Holy Land did not have so many God-realms at its most glorious time. At this moment, the west behemoth race Supreme Sages laughed and said, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land is afraid now, right? It¡¯s too late to regret now!¡± The big black pot walked to Qin Chen¡¯s side and said seriously, ¡°Kid, I used up a lot of my energy to make the extreme emperor weapon recognize you as its master last time. After you kill these the west behemoth race experts, I must have half of their treasures.¡± When the big scorpion heard this, he was unhappy. To think the big black pot was so black-hearted! As such, he quickly walked over, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ve gone through life and death with you. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t need the treasures of this powerful race from the cosmic. Why don¡¯t I help you clean up the battlefield?¡± The west behemoth race God-realm expert was furious. They were already in such a state and were about to be destroyed, yet they were still discussing how to split their treasures! This was a great humiliation to him! Thus, he directly struck out a blade light, which cut through the void. It turned into a white light and slashed over. Qin Chen knew that he could not take such an attack head-on even though he had the Chaotic Holy Body. As such, he lifted the big black pot and blocked it in front of him. This terrifying blade light couldn¡¯t break the big black pot! The big black pot shined with light as it screamed, ¡°It hurts! It¡¯s so painful. You brat, you¡¯re returning kindness with ingratitude!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t think much of the big black pot¡¯s words and simply threw it to the ground. He knew that it would be fine. The rest of the west behemoth race Supreme Sages widened their eyes in shock. What was the origin of this big black pot? Not only could it speak the human language, but it could also easily block the attack of a God-realm expert. One had to know that Elder Bu Lai was one of the top God-realm experts in the west behemoth race. He was extremely talented in offensive techniques. The west behemoth race God-realm expert laughed, and the horns on his head seemed to glow. ¡°So what if you can block one of my attacks? Grand Chaos Saber Technique!¡± The God-realm powerhouse let out a furious roar, and the aura on his body suddenly became terrifying. There seemed to be a faint wave of destruction! He swung the saber in his hand, and the saber shimmered. It was obvious that the saber had reached the limit of the power that the God-realm expert could exert! ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land will be destroyed today!¡± The Grand Chaos Saber Technique was the most powerful technique in the entire west behemoth race. As the west behemoth race God-realm expert slashed out, the chaos between Heaven and Earth seemed to split apart. The blade light flashed and the sky was filled with white light. The God-realm expert of the west behemoth race no longer cared whether there were any Gods in the Taiyi Holy Land. In his opinion, even if there were, they couldn¡¯t be his opponent. There was no need to fear a rat that was hiding! The reason why his first attack had been blocked was that the spiritual attack had caught him off guard. The west behemoth race God-realm expert hadn¡¯t expected it at all. But now, no one could stop him. Once the Grand Chaos Saber Technique was used, it could even kill experts in the same realm. It was thanks to the Grand Chaos Saber Technique that the west behemoth race God-realm expert was able to make a name for himself. Even the other powerful races of the cosmic did not dare to take this attack head-on. Otherwise, they would be seriously injured or even killed on the spot. This was one of the most terrifying aspects of the Grand Chaos Saber Technique. It was an invincible saber technique that the west behemoth race¡¯s ancestors had created by observing chaos in the vast cosmic. But now, it was used to kill the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. However, even a lion would do its best to catch a rabbit. The destruction of the Taiyi Holy Land would serve as a warning to the other humans. Whoever dared to kill the experts of the west behemoth race would end up like this. The current human race was already extremely weak. One had to know that in the era when the human great emperors had appeared, they had shocked the entire cosmic, and all the races in the cosmic had to obey him. If anyone dared to stand out, they would definitely be beaten into nothingness and their entire race would be exterminated. In the entire cosmic, there were billions of living beings, and none of them had dared to provoke the human great emperors. However, there were no great emperors in the human race now. The tables have turned, and it was time for the west behemoth race to be the Overlord! If they couldn¡¯t even suppress the current human race, how could they compete for hegemony on the emperor¡¯s path? To get the qualifications to become a great emperor in this era, there would definitely be many monstrous talents in the competition of the Great Path. It was just that the human race did not even have the right to participate. ¡°Human Elder King, go to hell!¡± The west behemoth race expert roared and his aura exploded to the extreme. He was as bright as a burning star as he came at Qin Chen. Chapter 267 - 267 Exterminating the West Behemoth Race 267 Exterminating the West Behemoth Race Qin Chen watched as the west behemoth race God-realm expert charged towards him. He wasn¡¯t afraid at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and poured his divine power into it. With that, a terrifying wave exploded. The pressure was so strong that everyone present found it hard to breathe, and the divine power in their bodies was chaotic. The west behemoth race God-realm expert was shocked as he looked at the terrifying emperor weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. ¡°What? It¡¯s an extreme emperor weapon! How is this possible?¡± Only three dynasties and three Holy Lands in the ten lands had extreme emperor weapons. How could the Taiyi Holy Land have one? Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen slashed out! It was as if the entire world was about to be destroyed. There was no sound at all, and all was silent. The saber in the hands of the west behemoth race God-realm expert shattered into pieces and his body was crushed into dust by the emperor¡¯s might. The rest of the west behemoth race Supreme Sages were also terrified! They had never expected that an extreme emperor weapon would appear in the Taiyi Holy Land and kill Elder Bu Lai, a west behemoth race God-realm expert! Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land cried out in surprise and excitement. This was the first time they had seen Qin Chen use the extreme emperor weapon to kill a God-realm expert. Although the west behemoth race was extremely powerful, the God-realm expert was unable to withstand a single blow from Qin Chen. He was crushed into dust by the awakened emperor weapon, and even his primordial spirit could not escape. The rest of the west behemoth race experts quickly fled, turning into streaks of light. Qin Chen chuckled. ¡°Do you think you can still escape? All of you, die!¡± Immediately, the extreme emperor weapon unleashed a terrifying aura and killed all the escaping west behemoth race Supreme Sages! At this point, all the experts from the west behemoth race who had come to the ten lands had been annihilated. News of this matter spread throughout the ten lands in no time. In the Great Qin Dynasty, after Imperial Lord Qin Feng saw the news, he couldn¡¯t help but clap his hands in praise. This was the strength of his seventeenth brother! He could kill God-realm experts as easily as killing chickens and dogs. An old official said, ¡°Your Majesty, although the Minister has killed those powerful races from the outer realm, he has also offended them. What if they make trouble?¡± Qin Feng snorted coldly and said, ¡°What is the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword that Emperor Shi left for us for? Is it just a decoration? If a powerful race from the cosmic dared to invade the human race, we will activate the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and kill the enemy! The powerful races in the cosmic don¡¯t have extreme emperor weapons, and even God-realm powerhouses will die under an extreme emperor weapon!¡± Hearing this, the old official sighed. At this point, the entire ten lands knew that the west behemoth race, an extremely overbearing extraterrestrial race, had its army annihilated by the Elder King. The Taiyi Holy Land was becoming increasingly prosperous, and many major forces came to befriend it. The various Holy Lands and dynasties also maintained contact with the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, everyone had witnessed the Elder King¡¯s combat strength. If the Elder King did not die, he would probably be qualified to become an emperor in this era. Even the ten thousand ancient races were shocked. To think the Elder King was so bold that he killed all the west behemoth race experts that came to the ten lands. One had to know that after offending a strong race that came from the emperor¡¯s path, more ancient races would come to the ten lands for revenge. The ten lands would be in danger. ¡°To think the human Elder King is so reckless!¡± ¡°In my opinion, it won¡¯t be long before the human race seeks its own destruction.¡± ¡°Even the Elder King of the human race with an extreme emperor weapon can do nothing but die.¡± The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. After Qin Chen had just killed the west behemoth race expert, the big black pot and the big scorpion rushed out, trying to take away the treasures the opponents had left behind, including the bodies and blood of the west behemoth race Supreme Sages that could be used to forge powerful weapons and magic items. Qin Chen did not mind at all. He simply kept the storage ring of the west behemoth race God-realm expert that was killed by the extreme emperor weapon. The treasures of the ordinary Supreme Sages were divided between the big scorpion and the big black pot. ¡°The Elder King is mighty!¡± ¡°The Elder King is mighty!¡± The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land chanted in unison, their voices shaking the sky. Even after killing the west behemoth race God-realm expert, Qin Chen did not look pleased. He knew that there were stronger races in the cosmic that were even more powerful than the west behemoth race. Those races were about to descend and cross the emperor¡¯s path to the ten lands. Chaos was about to break out, and disputes were about to arrive, which would inevitably bring turmoil. The Taiyi Holy Land was probably also in a precarious situation. Even with an extreme emperor weapon, the danger was unavoidable. Qin Chen opened the storage ring left behind by the west behemoth race God-realm expert. There were many cultivation techniques in the storage ring, but none of them could be cultivated by the human race. After all, these cultivation techniques belonged to a powerful extraterrestrial race from the cosmic, who was not on good terms with the human race. These things were meaningless, so Qin Chen continued his search. He found a piece of jade inside. It seemed to contain the Great Path of Heaven and Earth. Such a thing couldn¡¯t be found in the ten lands. Holding the jade in his hand, Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body activated the Great Path. Unexpectedly, the Great Path in the jade was related to the rules of chaos. Only in the cosmic could one find such a treasure related to the rules of chaos. Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, to begin with. By using this jade, he could make his Chaotic Holy Body even more powerful and understand the rules of chaos. During these days, the powerful races from the cosmic that had descended to the ten lands were also terrified. They had heard that the west behemoth race had been exterminated. The latter¡¯s entire army had been annihilated, and no one had survived. How terrifying was that? It seemed that there was still a lot of danger in the ten lands. As such, these geniuses of the cosmic¡¯s powerful races kept a low profile and didn¡¯t rush to attack the Holy Lands and imperial dynasties. They were just the first batch of powerful races from the cosmic to come to the ten lands. There were many geniuses from other powerful races who were crossing the emperor¡¯s path, on their way here to compete with the geniuses of the ten lands for the fate of becoming an emperor. Only the ten lands could give birth to a great emperor. For example, the human great emperors were from the human race and the ancient heavenly sovereigns were from the ten thousand ancient races. None of the powerful races in the cosmic had ever produced a great emperor. Now that they finally had the chance to fight with the ten lands for the chance to become an emperor, they naturally wouldn¡¯t give up. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The entire world was already in chaos. The opportunity to become an emperor had descended once again after countless years. There would probably be many innocents dying in the ten lands, and the earth would be plunged into misery. At the same time, those terrifying existences that seemed to be hiding under the Emperor Burial Abyss were also peeking. Qin Chen held the jade in his hand and prepared to enter seclusion. He entered the forbidden area of the Taiyi Palace. Chapter 268 - 268 Xie Yue 268 Xie Yue In seclusion in the forbidden area of the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen had refined a lot of the rules of chaos in the jade. His Chaotic Holy Body became increasingly terrifying. His every move shimmered with the chaotic light. If he were to make a move now, he would probably be able to heavily injure an enemy of the same realm in an instant. The rules of chaos were the top in the world. When the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor became an emperor, he used Heaven and Earth¡¯s rules of chaos to defeat countless powerful enemies, unify the nine Heavens and ten lands, shock the world, and make countless living beings submit in fear. As long as Qin Chen continued to cultivate the rules of chaos, he might be able to reach the realm of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor back then. Unfortunately, time waited for no one. There was not much time left for Qin Chen. Right now, he was only at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm, while those monstrous geniuses were already at level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. There were even God-realm experts among them. An endless stream of powerful races from the cosmic came from the emperor¡¯s path and landed in the ten lands. They fought with the geniuses from the Holy Lands and dynasties. Most of them were unstoppable and able to defeat the Holy Lands and dynasties. Without extreme emperor weapons, no one was their match. The ancient princes were also challenged one by one. For example, Prince Zhan of the battle sage ape race, who was on good terms with Qin Chen, was the first one to be challenged. A few geniuses from powerful races in the cosmic fought with Prince Zhan. The latter killed them with his divine iron rod, but he was also heavily injured and escaped in the end. The two ancient princes of the primordial sage race had also been severely injured. Many geniuses of the cosmic¡¯s powerful races clamored. ¡°Is there no one in the ten lands who can fight? ¡± ¡°Since your strength has already weakened to this extent, I think it¡¯s better for you to just quickly hide far away and give up the right to become an emperor.¡± ¡°The world is in chaos! This is the world of the strong!¡± In the vast cosmic, the powerful races bullied the ancient human countries and actually killed millions of humans for fun. Countless humans roared in grief and indignation. Ji Daozi of the imperial clan Ji family appeared. He was a descendant of the Great Emperor Xu Kong. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t just watch the human race being bullied like this. He searched for geniuses from the cosmic¡¯s powerful races to fight, and he always fought against three geniuses alone, killing them all every time! When a genius from a powerful race from the cosmic was killed, the genius¡¯s race naturally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. A God-realm expert came and wanted to kill Ji Daozi for revenge. Following this, the imperial clan Ji family burst forth with a heaven-shaking divine power. It was the extreme emperor weapon left behind by the Great Emperor Xu Kong, the Void Mirror! It shot out a terrifying white light, tearing the void apart and killing the God-realm expert! Countless humans were shocked. The human experts had not expected this. To think the imperial clan Ji family had appeared, and the Void Mirror had appeared at the same time. This added another extreme emperor weapon to the human race¡¯s arsenal to deter the geniuses from the powerful races that came from the vast cosmic. The terrifying Void Mirror exploded with shocking power, causing countless powerful races in the cosmic to feel fear. They had no way to resist its attack. Thus, they became much more obedient. After Qin Chen came out of seclusion, he heard the news of Prince Zhan¡¯s injury, and his expression turned gloomy. Those powerful races of the cosmic hadn¡¯t learned their lesson and were still jumping around. It seemed that the lesson he had given them was not enough! Qin Chen left a clone to guard the Taiyi Holy Land. Now that the outside world knew that the Taiyi Holy Land had an extreme emperor weapon, they usually did not dare to provoke it for fear of losing their lives. And now, Qin Chen¡¯s real body had left the Taiyi Holy Land with the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. Prince Zhan¡¯s race, the battle sage ape race, had been on good terms with the human race since the primordial era. Since those geniuses from the powerful races from the cosmic thought that they were strong enough to become the cream of the crop on the path to becoming an emperor and could easily kill the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, Qin Chen wanted to see how capable they actually were. The news of Qin Chen¡¯s departure from the Taiyi Holy Land did not spread. In many places of the ten lands, life was in a terrible state. Blood flowed and corpses piled up like mountains, seemingly covering the sky. It was unknown how many innocent lives had been lost. There were humans and demons, and they were all killed by the geniuses of the powerful races from the cosmic. Seeing all these scenes along the way, Qin Chen¡¯s anger toward the geniuses of the powerful races from the cosmic settled deep in his heart. He yearned to kill all the geniuses of the cosmic¡¯s powerful races and close the emperor¡¯s path, unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t do that. The restoration of Heaven and Earth ushered in another opportunity to become an emperor. This was a great opportunity. If one could become a great emperor, even the billions of living beings in the entire cosmic would not be a match for one. A strange-looking creature with red eyes and sharp fangs was loitering around. He was a genius from a powerful race in the cosmic, Xie Yue of the blood sky race. Along the way, he had scarcely seen any geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, and even the human race had only a few experts. With his cultivation at level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm, he had killed so many along his journey that he had lost count. He enjoyed the screams of those living creatures before they died. It was simply the most beautiful music in the world. Was that another city ahead? It seemed that there was new fun to be had. He had once encountered a genius from another powerful race in the cosmic, and he had killed the latter after a few rounds of fighting. He was cultivating a technique that required the nourishment of the resentful souls of living creatures to become stronger. Xie Yue looked toward the city and could feel that there were actually quite a few living beings within it! With a smile on his face, the aura on his body circulated, and he rushed toward the city. A figure had been following him for some time, but he had not noticed it. Just as he was about to reach the city, he suddenly felt a splitting headache and knelt on the ground. ¡°Who is it¡­ Ah!!!¡± Xie Yue felt as if his soul was being torn apart. He knelt on the ground and rolled around. Clearly, there were many human experts in the cities who had discovered this unusual phenomenon, which immediately shocked them. To think there was a level 9 Supreme Sage genius of a powerful race from the cosmic at the foot of the city. If he were to enter the city, there would definitely be chaos and countless casualties! The human race experts were instantly terrified. They didn¡¯t even have the cultivation of the Sage realm. How could they even stop the level 9 Supreme Sage genius from the cosmic? Even if they worked together, they would be no different from moths flying into the fire. They were simply no match for the other party. Then, they realized that the genius of a powerful race from the cosmic seemed to have been injured. However, they were still no match for him. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, and a casual attack from the other party could take their lives. ¡°Who is it? Quickly come out!¡± Gradually, the headache disappeared, and Xie Yue was already covered in a cold sweat from the pain. Veins popped out all over his body as he looked around in anger. ¡°Who is that in hiding? How dare you attack me?!¡± At this moment, a voice was heard, ¡°You deserve it.¡± Chapter 269 - 269 Xie Yues Death 269 Xie Yue¡¯s Death Xie Yue suddenly felt a trace of fear at the sound. People would always be afraid of things they didn¡¯t know. It was also because he couldn¡¯t fight back against the attack just now. What kind of realm should such an existence be in? After hearing the words ¡°you deserve it¡±, Xie Yue finally realized that this should be an expert from the ten lands. He looked around, but he found nothing. Then, he became alert and guarded against his surroundings. He was extremely afraid of the expert¡¯s appearance. After all, Xie Yue was also from a strong cosmic race. He didn¡¯t know what realm the experts of the ten lands would be in. If they killed him, he wouldn¡¯t have a chance to live again. Xie Yue was very nervous. He immediately looked into the distance. The human experts above the cities also saw the space being torn apart and a person appearing. That person was very familiar. They had even seen him in portraits before. Qin Chen¡¯s body exuded a faint chaotic aura, his face covered by a clear light. His appearance had greatly diluted Xie Yue¡¯s fear. This was because Qin Chen was only at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm. Xie Yue was a level 9 Supreme Sage expert and a genius even among the powerful races in the vast cosmic. Let alone a level 3 Supreme Sage human cultivator, he wasn¡¯t even afraid of an expert in the same realm as him. What puzzled him was that the terrifying attack just now had been launched by this human cultivator in front of him. ¡°It was you just now?¡± Xie Yue slowly asked. Qin Chen stood in front of him, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. Seeing that Qin Chen did not reply to him, Xie Yue was enraged. To think this human cultivator was so arrogant. He was instantly displeased. He then said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will slowly torture you to death. I won¡¯t let you die too easily. I will let you experience what it means to beg for death!¡± Then, Xie Yue burst out with Supreme Sagely might. The aura on his body changed the color of the sky slightly, and a terrifying pressure fell on Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power level had long reached a level that was comparable to that of a God. Naturally, he could easily resist the Supreme Sagely might. Seeing that the human cultivator in front of him was still unafraid, Xie Yue laughed loudly, but in his heart, he was planning how he would torture this human cultivator to death later. He would imprison the other party¡¯s soul, slowly torture him, and make him regret ever being born in this world. Since this human dared to attack him just now, he would have to pay a heavy price. He, Xie Yue, had always liked to challenge the strong. However, the human cultivator from the ten lands in front of him didn¡¯t interest him much. He only wanted to kill Qin Chen because he was angry. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance. If you kneel and apologize to me now, I might consider taking you in as a servant. You only have one chance. If you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t be polite anymore!¡± Qin Chen looked at Xie Yue indifferently, as if he was looking at a corpse. Even if Xie Yue was a God-realm expert, Qin Chen would kill him without hesitation, let alone a level 9 Supreme Sage. What was a level 9 Supreme Sage cultivator to Qin Chen? These powerful races from the cosmic that had come through the emperor¡¯s path treated the ten lands as their playground. They took pleasure in killing and torturing. Countless living beings had died at their hands. How many innocent humans had become the souls of the dead at his hands, their lives taken away? Was there a need for such a person to exist even if he was from a powerful cosmic race? Looking at the human cultivator before him who was still silent, Xie Yue¡¯s hands had already turned blood red. He had long refined his body to become comparable to a peerless weapon. The blood of this human Supreme Sage must be very delicious. In Xie Yue¡¯s eyes, this human cultivator could make him even more excited than all the humans in that city added together. Then, Xie Yue charged out, erupting with shocking power. Even the void was somewhat distorted by his outburst. One could imagine how terrifying the talent of this cosmic genius was. It was a pity that he had met Qin Chen. As he rushed over, Qin Chen had already launched a spiritual attack on him. ¡°Not good!¡± Xie Yue¡¯s expression changed greatly. It was the attack that he couldn¡¯t resist. He had encountered such an attack before in the cosmic, but the attack coming at him now was extremely powerful. It pierced through his soul and made him roar in pain. He felt as if his head was about to explode. This pain was different from physical pain. It was a pain of the soul. It made him feel what true pain was. Xie Yue¡¯s face was incomparably unsightly. He could no longer speak a complete sentence, and could not even control his body. It was too painful. ¡°Kneel!¡± Qin Chen let out a low roar. Xie Yue knelt on the ground with a thump. He couldn¡¯t think of anything now, only endless pain. However, compared to this little bit of pain, how could his pain be compared to the lives he had taken and the lives of those he had killed and tortured to death? The human experts in the city cheered. They were so excited that they couldn¡¯t calm down. That was the Elder King of the human race! How could they not have heard of the Elder King? He represented the spirit of the entire human race. When the ten thousand ancient races had first appeared, the Elder King had fought for the human race and single-handedly saved the world. Countless humans took Qin Chen as their role model. ¡°That¡¯s the Elder King!¡± ¡°Long live the Elder King!¡± ¡°Greetings, Elder King!¡± Countless human experts couldn¡¯t hold back their tears. They looked at the figure and worshipped him from the bottom of their hearts. The Elder King had already become the embodiment of the faith of the entire human race. Countless cultivators dreamed of entering the Taiyi Holy Land and following the Elder King. Now that the emperor¡¯s path had been restored and Heaven and Earth had returned, the powerful races from the cosmic had descended. The ten lands had let out sorrowful cries. The Elder King had made a move once more. He had suppressed this level 9 Supreme Sage genius. Some of the humans were in tears. They had long witnessed the geniuses of the powerful races from the cosmic raising their knives and slaughtering their kind. Who would have thought that today, when they were once again faced with a nightmare, the Elder King would bring them hope? ¡°Who are you?¡± Xie Yue¡¯s soul had long since been tortured to the point of collapse. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen¡¯s control, he would have died by now. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I¡¯m the one who avenged you on behalf of the dead humans.¡± The Elder King¡¯s spiritual attack descended once more, turning into an invisible blade that obliterated Xie Yue¡¯s soul. Then, this genius of a powerful race from the cosmic fell silently, without any signs of life. After killing Xie Yue, Qin Chen didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, he felt heavy. If every genius from the extraterrestrial races was like this, then how many innocent humans had died? Chapter 270 - 270 Killing an Ancient God 270 Killing an Ancient God Qin Chen cut off Xie Yue¡¯s head. Countless human experts were extremely pleased to see the headless corpse. The geniuses of the powerful races from the cosmic who had crossed the emperor¡¯s path and descended to the ten lands were just so-so. The Elder King didn¡¯t even make a move and had already killed a level 9 Supreme Sage genius. After beheading Xie Yue, Qin Chen left. Along the way, he met countless geniuses from powerful cosmic races, and he killed them all, beheading them and taking away their heads. The news spread quickly. Many powerful cosmic races gathered. They were indeed feeling afraid now. ¡°How could such a person appear in the ten lands?¡± ¡°To think he killed so many of our geniuses.¡± ¡°I wonder how powerful that Elder King is. He¡¯s not even afraid of God-realm experts.¡± ¡°I think we should work together. Otherwise, we might be the ones to die next time.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe that that human expert is so powerful.¡± ¡°The entire human race has declined to such a state. They don¡¯t even have a single God-realm expert. What can they use to fight us?¡± ¡°The opportunity to become an emperor in this era is right in front of us. After I kill the human race¡¯s Elder King as well as all the strong enemies, I will definitely become an emperor!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The asura race doesn¡¯t fear that Elder King. If he dares to appear, we¡¯ll make sure he dies an ignominious death!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget that the Elder King has an extreme weapon.¡± When the extreme weapon was mentioned, the powerful races from the vast cosmic fell silent. They did not have any weapons left behind by the ancient great emperors, so they had no way of fighting back against the extreme emperor weapons. After all, these powerful cosmic races had never produced any great emperor realm experts. In the face of the weapons left behind by the ancient great emperors, they naturally had no way to resist. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that we can only be defeated by that Elder King one by one?¡± ¡°In my opinion, why don¡¯t we set a trap to attract the Elder King and kill him together!¡± ¡°What a joke. An extreme emperor weapon can attack the nine Heavens¡¯ Gods as well as those from the netherworld below. Even if we work together, we¡¯re doomed to be destroyed. Isn¡¯t surrounding and killing the Elder King the same as seeking death?¡± After a long silence, someone finally spoke, ¡°The only solution now is to find the Elder King¡¯s weakness.¡± ¡°The Elder King¡¯s weakness?¡± Someone else then asked what the weakness of the human Elder King was. ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s the Taiyi Holy Land. As far as I know, the Taiyi Holy Land doesn¡¯t have any God-realm experts. As long as we take over the Taiyi Holy Land, the Elder King will be captured. When the time comes, we¡¯ll get him to hand over his extreme emperor weapon so that we can be protected in the ten lands too.¡± The extreme emperor weapon. The eyes of countless experts from the powerful cosmic races lit up. If they could obtain an extreme emperor weapon, they would naturally not have to fear the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. ¡°Let¡¯s discuss this.¡± After a series of planning, these powerful cosmic races were each assigned missions. If they could get their hands on an extreme emperor weapon, they would no longer have to fear the threat of the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. By this time, Qin Chen had already killed countless geniuses from the extraterrestrial races and collected many heads. A shocking scene was built on top of a ruin. Beneath the ruins were the corpses of innocent humans. On top of the bodies of the innocent humans were the heads of countless powerful cosmic races. On this day, countless people of the human race and the ten thousand ancient races all exclaimed in wonder. They had never thought that the human race¡¯s Elder King would be so terrifying! How shocking was it to see something built with the heads of countless powerful cosmic races¡¯ geniuses? The geniuses of the powerful cosmic races were at least in the three major Sage Jiutian realms, and many of them were even level 9 Supreme Sage experts. They wondered how the Elder King had done it! Many of the ancient princes and human elites were moved. They had thought that killing a few geniuses from powerful cosmic races was already quite impressive. They didn¡¯t expect the human race¡¯s Elder King to start a massacre and killed so many geniuses from the powerful cosmic races in one go. It was truly terrifying! Although the Elder King¡¯s cultivation was only at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm, he had killed God-realm experts before. How could the other experts not be surprised when they saw him building something with the heads of those geniuses without fear? It would be fine if the extreme emperor weapon was with the Elder King, but if it was not, then he was doomed. Unknowingly, powerful auras had already appeared in the distance. Some human race experts and geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races probed to see who was coming. Those figures were the experts from the strong cosmic races! They looked at Qin Chen with bone-deep hatred in their hearts. They yearned to pull out Qin Chen¡¯s tendons, peel his skin, suck his marrow, and refine his soul. Even doing so was difficult to dispel the hatred in their hearts. In the next moment, an unforeseen event occurred. ¡°Human, you don¡¯t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. We¡¯ll send you on your way today!¡± A long-armed and four-eyed expert from a powerful cosmic race snorted and slashed out. The golden blade emitted a dazzling light as the blade energy shot toward Qin Chen. The expert who had made a move was actually a God-realm expert. The moment he attacked, he displayed an extremely terrifying might. Bang! There was a loud bang. Before the attack could even get close, Qin Chen took out his extreme emperor weapon and blocked it. Many experts¡¯ pupils constricted. They had not expected the Elder King to carry the innate sword embryo with him and thus neutralize the attack. Qin Chen said, ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you. Since you¡¯re here, you should stay. Today, I¡¯m still lacking a few heads. I could use yours.¡± His tone was very calm as if he was asking for a cup of water. However, no one looked down on him because he was holding an extreme emperor weapon. If the weapon were to be activated, even if there were ten or a hundred times more of them, it would be useless. ¡°What big words. I don¡¯t believe you can stop me!¡± A God-realm expert from a powerful cosmic race flapped his huge golden wings and flew away. His speed was extremely terrifying, almost reaching light speed, and even the void was vaguely torn apart! ¡°You¡¯re overestimating yourself,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ve said that none of you can leave today.¡± There was a hint of coldness in his voice. It would be a joke if he, with the extreme emperor weapon in hand, let that God-realm expert from a powerful cosmic race escape. Qin Chen immediately activated the extreme emperor weapon, and a terrifying aura burst out! Even the God-realm experts lowered their heads in fear. They did not expect the Elder King to have his extreme emperor weapon with him! ¡°Are we going to die here today?¡± A fluctuation that was enough to destroy Heaven and Earth erupted, shaking the starry sky. With that, a huge sword condensed and suddenly slashed down from the air! The God-realm expert who had just escaped was turned into ashes just as he tried to dodge. Countless God-realm experts despaired after seeing the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s power. Chapter 271 - 271 The Enemies Corpses Pyramid 271 The Enemies¡¯ Corpses Pyramid Qin Chen had only activated his extreme emperor weapon and was already able to kill God-realm experts as easily as killing ants. In an instant, the level 5 God-realm expert had already turned into dust, leaving nothing behind. With one strike, Qin Chen had killed a level 5 God-realm expert. This unbelievable scene shocked all the experts from the powerful cosmic races. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together!¡± An expert roared in anger. His eyes were filled with anger as he wielded a powerful treasure and attacked Qin Chen. His body had already split into several clones. Following this, the other experts also attacked Qin Chen together. They were truly afraid. In the face of death, nothing was more important than living. The terrifying aura was like a pillar of light that shot into the sky, shocking countless people. This was an unprecedented battle. So many Gods were working together to resist the power of an extreme emperor weapon! ¡°Kill!¡± An unparalleled God-realm expert laid down layers of arrays in an attempt to kill Qin Chen. The power was terrifying, and shocking holy arrays fell one after another! At the same time, a God with exceptionally long arms turned his arms into sharp blades and slashed at Qin Chen. A black-furred demon god with a spiritual horn transformed into a giant that was several tens of feet tall. He raised his fist and smashed it at Qin Chen! In an instant, the group of peerless Gods all charged at Qin Chen! This was a terrifying killing field that could kill any God. Qin Chen¡¯s killing of the God-realm expert with his innate sword embryo just now immediately made everyone realize that the situation was looking bad, thus all of them attacked together, trying to fight for the chance to survive. Only by killing Qin Chen would they have a chance to live! Boom! The earth trembled, and the void shattered in many places. Multicolored light filled the sky, and all kinds of astonishing auras targeted Qin Chen, charging toward him. The God-realm expert with exceptionally long arms was the fastest. He was the first to arrive in front of Qin Chen. His arms turned into extremely sharp blades, trying to pierce through his target¡¯s body! However, Qin Chen simply wielded his extreme emperor weapon and with a light slash, cut off the opponent¡¯s arms. Everyone thought that the God-realm expert with long arms would be able to deliver a good attack, but they didn¡¯t expect that Qin Chen would cut off the God¡¯s arms and cause him to be heavily injured. One by one, the God-realm experts charged toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen didn¡¯t activate the extreme emperor weapon again. Instead, he changed it into his own weapon and attacked the God-realm experts. In this way, not only would he be able to gain a lot of benefits from fighting with the God-realm experts, but he would also be able to break through to the next realm faster. He would be able to slowly make the experts from the strong cosmic races who came through the emperor¡¯s path feel despair and let them know that they couldn¡¯t be impudent in the ten lands! Qin Chen slashed out a beam of sword energy. It was as smooth as flowing water as it slithered between the many God-realm experts. He fought while still being a level 3 Supreme Sage. Another black spear pierced through the air, and the Great Path was slightly affected wherever it passed. The rule of death actually flowed on the tip of the spear, as if it could pierce through all obstacles in front of it! Qin Chen casually used the emperor sword to block the long spear. With that, such a terrifying holy weapon was directly shattered. The long spear let out a whine and its light dimmed. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces. A God-realm expert suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He was the master of the black spear. Now that the black spear was destroyed, he naturally suffered a backlash. With an extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen was simply unafraid. Fighting with these God-realm experts while dancing on the line between life and death benefited Qin Chen and allowed him to improve greatly. His realm was constantly accumulating. A young God-realm expert¡¯s body glowed with light, and many Emperor runes appeared on his body. God knows where those Emperor runes came from, but he most likely got them from the ten lands. He had left the Emperor rune on his body, so he could use them to unleash great power. Unfortunately, Qin Chen held an extreme emperor weapon. This was a divine weapon that had accompanied the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Even the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss had to bow their heads. Although Qin Chen did not revive it, he could easily kill this young God-realm expert by just activating it. Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed through the void that shattered with the sword energy. In the eyes of many God-realm experts, they could only see that the sword energy was like the chaotic Great Path, destroying everything in its path! The God-realm expert roared and used all his power to activate the Emperor runes on his body, but he was still defeated by the sword. His divine sense was also shattered. His flesh, blood, tendons, and bones were all torn apart, turning into a blood mist that was crushed between Heaven and Earth. One after another, the God-realm experts died at Qin Chen¡¯s hands. His mastery of wielding the extreme emperor weapon became increasingly improved, and the rules of chaos that were emitted during the battle helped him comprehend. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body activated on its own. The heavens rumbled, and it was incomparably terrifying. Countless God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races who had crossed the emperor¡¯s path to arrive in the ten lands were killed. There were only a few corpses that could be completely preserved. However, Qin Chen was already trying his best to preserve their heads. He had said that he would take the heads of these God-realm experts and place them on the enemy corpses pyramid that he had built, so he had to do his best to do so. Countless human race cultivators and experts of the ten thousand ancient races saw this terrifying scene through their spiritual will. All of them gasped. They were shocked. This was not a battle, but a massacre. This was a battlefield that belonged to the Elder King alone. These God-realm experts from the powerful races of the vast cosmic were all shocking existences. Yet, their life force was destroyed by Qin Chen one by one in front of the enemy corpses pyramid. At the same time, many of the experts from the powerful cosmic races who were not here with the God-realm experts learned about all this as well. Their bodies kept trembling. What kind of existence had they offended? Boom! At this moment, Qin Chen had already taken the initiative and started to counterattack. He killed the God-realm experts one by one. Before the God-realm experts died, they were all furious and unwilling. They were simply unwilling to die at the hands of a mere level 3 Supreme Sage human cultivator. ¡°Without the extreme emperor weapon, we can kill you as easily as taking something out of our pocket!¡± On this day, many God-realm experts had fallen. No one knew since when, but the ten lands had never had so many God-realm experts die at the same time. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the surroundings were filled with devastation. All of this was the result of this battle, and the result was already set. Qin Chen took the few heads of the experts from the powerful cosmic races and placed them on the enemy corpses pyramid. A large rain of light fell. It was as if countless vengeful souls had finally been released from their suffering, and could rest in peace. These resentful souls were innocent humans who had died at the hands of the powerful cosmic races. ¡°Rest in peace,¡± Qin Chen muttered. Chapter 272 - 272 Attacking the Taiyi Holy Land 272 Attacking the Taiyi Holy Land Some people would be puzzled. Why did the human race¡¯s Elder King kill the experts from the powerful races that came from the vast cosmic at all costs? Why did he build an enemy corpses pyramid with their heads? The ten thousand ancient races¡¯ experts weren¡¯t the only ones who were confused. Some of the human experts had the same thought. They thought that as long as those who died were not those they cared about, it would be fine. In the rain of light, Qin Chen looked at the enemy corpses pyramid that was actually built with the heads of the powerful cosmic races¡¯ experts. Before they died, their faces were filled with fear, unwillingness, and anger. Their cultivation realms varied. Some were Sages, some were Supreme Sages, and some were Gods. However, the main reason Qin Chen did all this was only because of one thing: he was displeased. To be honest, he didn¡¯t feel much about the dead humans. It was more of an impulsive action that he did because some of his friends who he cared about were hurt. But now, Qin Chen¡¯s feelings had changed. He had killed so many experts and used their heads to build an enemy corpses pyramid. He had avenged the countless innocents who had died under the slaughter of the powerful cosmic races. The vengeful souls of the human race gathered after their death. It was as if some shackles in Qin Chen¡¯s heart had been broken. There would always be something that would leave a different mark in the depths of one¡¯s heart. When Qin Chen appeared, the humans would cheer continuously because they knew that the Elder King had arrived. They regarded the Elder King as their protector. Qin Chen stood in front of the enemy corpses pyramid, bathing in the rain of light. The gentle breeze kept blowing. There was no one around him, and it was exceptionally quiet. He felt countless spiritual wills watching him, and with a grunt, those gazes were destroyed. In the dark, between Heaven and Earth, while Qin Chen was standing there, voices seemed to come from beside him. Although he had never heard these voices before, he knew that they belonged to the innocent humans who had died tragically. They were responding to Qin Chen¡¯s actions. Qin Chen took a deep breath, and tears rolled down his face from the corner of his eyes. Something in his heart seemed to have become more determined. ¡°Since I am regarded as the guardian of the human race, I¡¯m willing to protect the entire human race for the rest of my life!¡± After the deaths of countless experts from the powerful cosmic races, the news quickly spread to the ears of even more people who wanted to know more. Among these people, there was no lack of experts from the powerful extraterrestrial races who had conspired together that day. ¡°It seems that the human Elder King has the extreme emperor weapon on him.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, we can take down the Taiyi Holy Land in one fell swoop!¡± ¡°As long as we take down the Taiyi Holy Land, we won¡¯t have to worry about the human Elder King not handing over his extreme emperor weapon. I don¡¯t believe he¡¯ll dare to use an extreme emperor weapon to kill the people of the Taiyi Holy Land with us.¡± The experts from the cosmic let out a sigh of relief then soared into the sky and flew toward the Taiyi Holy Land. They had to take down the Taiyi Holy Land. Only then would they have a chance of getting the human Elder King to hand over the extreme emperor weapon. With an extreme emperor weapon, they would not be threatened by the human race and the ten thousand ancient races anymore. In the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen¡¯s avatar was still in seclusion, staying in the Taiyi Holy Land. He knew everything that had happened to his original body, so he naturally gained much insight. Fighting with those God-realm experts was very significant for the improvement of his realm. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to break through to level 4 of the Supreme Sage realm. Suddenly, a voice was heard, ¡°It¡¯s bad, it¡¯s bad!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lu Xuan quickly asked. ¡°Holy Lord, God¡­ God-realm experts are here!¡± Lu Xuan¡¯s expression changed immediately. The Elder King was currently outside, and even the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, was not in the Taiyi Holy Land. With such circumstances, how could the Taiyi Holy Land resist the God-realm experts? Those who came were with ill intentions Lu Xuan and the other cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land saw seven or eight God-realm cultivators outside after they went out. They were all from powerful cosmic races, and each one of them had shocking combat power. As the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan naturally stepped forward and shouted, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of your coming to the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± The experts from the powerful cosmic races said, ¡°Nothing much. We just want to borrow the lives of all the people from the Taiyi Holy Land.¡± The expressions of Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, the big scorpion, and the other higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land all changed drastically. These experts from the vast universe wanted to attack the Taiyi Holy Land and take it down. There was no God-realm expert in the entire Taiyi Holy Land. Was the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed? At the thought of this, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s experts immediately threatened, ¡°If you dare to attack, the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land will not spare you. You will all be doomed to die in the future!¡± The experts from the powerful cosmic races did not think much of this threat at all. Their risky move was precisely to use the lives of all the human cultivators in the Taiyi Holy Land to threaten the Elder King and make him hand over the innate sword embryo. As long as they could take down the human cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land, the Elder King would have to obey. ¡°There¡¯s no point in saying more, why don¡¯t you all surrender without putting up a fight, or you¡¯ll suffer more!¡± The powerful cosmic race¡¯s expert with an eagle¡¯s head and a lion¡¯s body said, ¡°We¡¯re all God-realm experts. The people of the Taiyi Holy Land will inevitably bleed and die if you resist to the end. Have you really thought it through?¡± Lu Xuan and the other experts from the Taiyi Holy Land naturally knew that they were no match for these God-realm experts. Their strength was like a child¡¯s scratch in front of these God-realm experts, and they could do nothing to them. ¡°What a joke!¡± The big scorpion held the big black pot in his hand and roared, ¡°If you have the ability, come and hit me! Your grandpa scorpion has never admitted defeat and lowered my head. If you want me to surrender without putting up a fight, you can dream on!¡± The thing in the big scorpion¡¯s hand was naturally the big black pot. At this moment, it was struggling in the big scorpion¡¯s hand and couldn¡¯t escape at all. It cursed the big scorpion fiercely, ¡°When I recover, I¡¯ll definitely deep-fry then braise you. I¡¯ll let you know what pain is!¡± Upon hearing these arrogant words, a God-realm expert chuckled and struck out a bolt of silk that contained the power of a God-realm expert. Lu Xuan immediately activated the sect-protecting array, but he did not expect that the array would not be able to withstand the attack at all. The attack made the array tremble violently like paper, then it shattered. Chapter 273 - 273 Attacking the Base Camp 273 Attacking the Base Camp The big scorpion rushed forward with the big black pot in its hand, using it to block the attack of the God-realm expert. And the attack was actually blocked. The big black pot shone as it cursed, obviously cursing the big scorpion. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Many Gods exclaimed in surprise! In this world, only extreme emperor weapons and quasi-emperor weapons could withstand a strike from a God-realm expert. Could it be that this big black pot was a quasi-emperor weapon? However, it didn¡¯t look like a quasi-emperor weapon. Although Emperor runes were flashing on it, it seemed that the pot couldn¡¯t unleash the power of a quasi-emperor weapon. Besides, how could it be possible for someone to refine a quasi-emperor weapon into the shape of a big pot? was this a joke? ¡°Break!¡± A God-realm expert roared. A wave of divine power behind him brought about a strange phenomenon and crushed toward the Taiyi Holy Land. The terrifying fluctuations seriously injured many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land! It was only because the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land wasn¡¯t here now. If he was, he could¡¯ve killed these God-realm experts as easily as killing ants with the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo! How would these experts from the vast cosmic who had crossed the emperor¡¯s path have the guts to be so presumptuous then? The attack of a God was so terrifying that no one could block it. Fortunately, these God-realm experts didn¡¯t want to kill the human cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land, so they were all only slightly injured. However, this made the Taiyi Holy Land even more desperate. Even if they joined forces, they couldn¡¯t resist a blow from a God-realm expert. ¡°Detestable!¡± Lu Xuan and the other cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land felt extremely guilty and remorseful. Why had they not become stronger? Now, as long as the Elder King was not here, the Taiyi Holy Land could be easily destroyed by others. This terrifying fluctuation naturally shocked Qin Chen, who was still in seclusion in the great emperor¡¯s palace. He immediately rushed out. When he arrived outside the Taiyi Holy Land, he saw the figures of the God-realm experts who had come through the emperor¡¯s path. Qin Chen himself had already become numb to killing the experts of the powerful cosmic races, so how could he be afraid of these God-realm experts? Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s figure, the powerful cosmic races who had crossed over from the emperor¡¯s path were all surprised. ¡°The human Elder King!¡± ¡°How could you possibly appear here?¡± ¡°This is impossible!¡± Then, they used their spiritual will to investigate. Following this, they realized that this was just a clone of Qin Chen. Although it had enough combat strength, it was nothing in the eyes of these God-realm experts. Without the extreme emperor weapon, this human Elder King was nothing to be afraid of. When the human cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land saw Qin Chen¡¯s clone, they felt at ease. As long as Qin Chen was there, they would not panic. Qin Chen was like the backbone of the Taiyi Holy Land. As long as the Elder King was still alive, the Taiyi Holy Land would continue to exist! The entire Taiyi Holy Land was united. Even if the Elder King wanted them to die now, they would not even frown. ¡°Everyone, what do you want to do?¡± The experts from the extraterrestrial races looked at Qin Chen¡¯s clone and said coldly, ¡°We¡¯re going to take down the Taiyi Holy Land and force you to hand over your extreme weapon, of course.¡± Qin Chen did not expect that the experts from the powerful cosmic races would be so despicable. To think they took advantage of his absence to launch a surprise attack on his base camp. Qin Chen looked at the God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races and said indifferently, ¡°Have you all thought about the consequences? If my original body returns, I¡¯ll definitely kill all of you!¡± A God-realm expert from a powerful cosmic race laughed, ¡°So what? As long as we take down the Taiyi Holy Land, what tricks can you play? Do you want to watch all the human cultivators in the Taiyi Holy Land die?¡± The answer from Qin Chen was, of course, no. It was a pity that there were too many powerful God-realm experts from the cosmic here. He really had no way to deal with them. Qin Chen¡¯s original body also knew what had happened in the Taiyi Holy Land. However, even if he rushed back, it would still be too late. These God-realm experts only needed a thought to cause a lot of casualties to the human cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Human Elder King, do you have any other methods to turn the tables? Hahaha.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve killed many experts from the powerful cosmic races and even piled their heads into an enemy corpses pyramid. If your clone is willing to kneel and kowtow to us, we might let the Taiyi Holy Land go.¡± Even if Qin Chen really listened to them and did so, the final result would be that they would go back on their words. The experts of the powerful cosmic races had always admired strength. In their eyes, as long as one had enough strength, one could do anything. Now that Qin Chen was indeed no match for them, they naturally did not need to keep their promise. Qin Chen looked at the experts of the powerful cosmic races and his thoughts raced as he continued thinking of ways to break out of this situation. Could it be that he could only walk step by step into the traps set by the God-realm experts of the powerful cosmic races? As long as he handed over the extreme emperor weapon, the entire Taiyi Holy Land might die because of him. However, if he didn¡¯t hand it over, Qin Chen would have to watch the cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land die in front of him. He could not accept either outcome. The God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races that had crossed over from the emperor¡¯s path said, ¡°Human race Elder King, have you thought it through? If you haven¡¯t, we¡¯ll help you make a decision!¡± Lu Xuan and the other cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land all looked at Qin Chen¡¯s clone. Their cultivation realms were low, so they did not have the face to ask the Elder King to save their lives. It did not matter if they died. As long as Qin Chen was alive, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would still be alive. The disciples of the Holy Land all shouted, ¡°Elder King. Let us die!¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re still alive, the Taiyi Holy Land will still be around. There¡¯s still hope for us to rise again!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t give the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, to these extraterrestrial races. They are not from our race, so they must have malicious intentions!¡± ¡°Otherwise, the Taiyi Holy Land will be a sinner of the human race!¡± ¡°Even if we survive, we¡¯ll carry the infamy of eternity and become traitors despised by everyone!¡± ¡°Elder King, let us be disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land in our next lives.¡± Roars sounded one after another, resounding through the clouds. It made the God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races who had come through the emperor¡¯s path angry. They immediately released a wave of power. ¡°All of you, shut up. If you say anything else, then so be it. I¡¯ll send you all to hell!¡± Countless disciples coughed out blood. Qin Chen¡¯s clone laughed, and his laughter grew louder and louder. He then pointed at the God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races and said, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ve already made my decision. I wonder if you all dare to make a bet with me? If you win the bet, I¡¯ll give the extreme emperor weapon to you. How about it?¡± Chapter 274 - 274 Reinforcements from the Great Qin Dynasty 274 Reinforcements from the Great Qin Dynasty Since things had come to this point, they didn¡¯t expect the human Elder King to want to make a bet with them. The God-realm experts from the vast cosmic glanced at Qin Chen, then asked, ¡°What do you want to bet on?¡± Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land looked at Qin Chen, not knowing what he wanted to do. However, at this moment, Qin Chen didn¡¯t seem flustered at all. He simply said, ¡°I bet that you will all die here today. If you retreat now, you might have a chance of survival.¡± Being threatened by a human cultivator at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm infuriated the Gods of the powerful cosmic races. Qin Chen did not have an extreme emperor weapon and was now only a clone. How could he be so arrogant? Were they going to give up even though their goal of taking over the Taiyi Holy Land was just within reach? Qin Chen continued, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ll take into account that it wasn¡¯t easy for you to cultivate. If you retreat now, you can still live.¡± ¡°What a joke!¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°Could it be that the Elder King is deliberately mystifying things?¡± ¡°As long as we take down the Taiyi Holy Land, I don¡¯t believe you won¡¯t hand over your extreme emperor weapon!¡± The innate sword embryo was an extreme emperor weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, so Qin Chen naturally could not hand it over. The reason why he said this was because he had confidence that as long as he could buy some time, he believed that his ninth brother would be able to bring the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword over from the Great Qin Dynasty. With the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword in hand, was it not enough to suppress these God-realm experts? It seemed that these powerful races from the vast cosmic were already extremely bold. ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ll give you a chance. If you hand over the extreme emperor weapon now, we promise not to hurt the cultivators of the Tai Yi Holy Land. How about it?¡± Qin Chen shook his head. He then took out a chair from his storage ring and sat down. The God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races all looked at each other. They knew the current Elder King in the Tai Yi Holy Land was only a clone. If they killed this clone of the human Elder King, it would not kill the Elder King entirely. Once the latter came back with the innate sword embryo, none of the God-realm experts present would be able to escape. ¡°Elder King, do you really not care about the lives of these people from the Taiyi Holy Land?¡± Qin Chen glanced at the God expert who had just spoken, ¡°I¡¯m just giving you a piece of advice. It¡¯s not too late to leave now.¡± Some of the God-realm experts couldn¡¯t hold back and wanted to attack Qin Chen¡¯s clone directly. However, when Qin Chen looked at the God-realm expert, he was pretty intimidating as he seemed to be warning the latter that if he dared to make a move, he would definitely attract a great disaster. ¡°Elder King, all we want is the extreme emperor weapon. We have no complaints if we die here. But isn¡¯t it too unrealistic for you to force us to retreat with just a few words?¡± Of course, Qin Chen knew that if he wanted to force these guys to retreat, he had to show that he had the strength to kill them. However, he had never thought of letting them go. These God-realm experts were too despicable. To think they came to the Taiyi Holy Land to capture his friends and family, wanting to use them to threaten him to hand over the extreme weapon. How could Qin Chen tolerate such a thing? These God-realm experts had to die here today. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare to make the bet?¡± Qin Chen asked. The God-realm experts looked at Qin Chen. Indeed, as Qin Chen had said, if they took down the Taiyi Holy Land today, they might be able to blackmail Qin Chen for his extreme emperor weapon. However, judging from the other party¡¯s words and tone, they would die in the Taiyi Holy Land if they failed. These God-realm experts had already crossed Qin Chen¡¯s bottom line. Qin Chen¡¯s killing intent was fully exposed in his eyes. ¡°What are you afraid of? The clone here is merely a level 3 Supreme Sage realm cultivator. He¡¯s not even comparable to an ant!¡± ¡°There are so many of us here. Do you think we, God-realm experts, would be afraid of him?¡± These God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races had also reached their current realm only after countless battles. They had experienced countless dangerous situations. To be able to survive until now and become experts, they were definitely not ordinary people. Although Qin Chen had killed many God-realm experts with his innate sword embryo, he did not have an extreme emperor weapon now, nor did he have the cultivation realm to fight against them. If they retreated now, wouldn¡¯t they become the laughingstock of the world? ¡°Elder King, have you really made your decision?!¡± Qin Chen indifferently glanced at the God-realm expert who asked the question and said, ¡°There¡¯s no point in saying more. You can do whatever you want.¡± In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, these God-realm experts were just people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He wondered how they had cultivated their current realm. Being ridiculed by Qin Chen, a level 3 Supreme Sage realm human cultivator, the God-realm experts had long been unable to contain their anger. AGod-realm expert with a dragon¡¯s beard and a phoenix¡¯s tail immediately wielded his Nine Chains Sabre and slashed at Qin Chen. ¡°Since all of you don¡¯t dare to make a move, then I¡¯ll be the one to start! Only by taking down the Taiyi Holy Land today will you and I have the capital to live. Everyone¡¯s arrows are already nocked on the bow, we have no choice but to fire! Even if we retreat, the human Elder King won¡¯t let us go. He¡¯ll definitely hunt us down. The best way to save our lives is to take down the Taiyi Holy Land!¡± With that, the rest of the God-realm experts also attacked. They burst out with towering Godly might and charged toward Qin Chen! They had joined forces to attack Qin Chen because they were worried and doubtful. What if the latter still had other tricks up his sleeve? Following this, an Emperor array was activated with a ¡°boom¡±! Just as the attack was about to land on Qin Chen, it was actually blocked! ¡°What?¡± ¡°An Emperor array?¡± ¡°How can the Taiyi Holy Land have an Emperor array? ¡± The Emperor runes on the Emperor array glowed continuously, emitting a powerful emperor¡¯s might that blocked all the attacks from the God-realm experts. The cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land exclaimed in shock. So it turned out the Elder King already had a plan. He only needed to use the Emperor array to delay until his main body returned, then he could kill these God-realm experts one by one! Qin Chen had forced the big black pot to spit out the Emperor array. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have suddenly started operating at this moment. Qin Chen looked at the God-realm experts and said, ¡°It¡¯s too late for you to retreat now. Die here.¡± The expressions of the God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races changed. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s work together and break this Emperor array! It¡¯s not complete, so it shouldn¡¯t be able to withstand our joint attack!¡± In an instant, the heavens rumbled, the rules of the Great Path evolved, and divine power flowed down. These God-realm experts used all kinds of means they had to bombard the Emperor array. Qin Chen watched as the attacks landed on the Emperor array. He knew that the array would not be able to last long. However, he had already received a telepathic message from his ninth brother. ¡°The Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Feng, has arrived!¡± Chapter 275 - 275 Not a Single One of You Can Escape 275 Not a Single One of You Can Escape ¡°I told all of you, not a single one of you can escape,¡± Qin Chen said. He couldn¡¯t wait to get rid of these God-realm experts from the vast cosmic. ¡°What? The Great Qin Dynasty? The Imperial Lord is here?¡± A God-realm expert exclaimed. None of them expected that they had already lost the initiative and had fallen into a passive state. The ninth Prince couldn¡¯t help but feel excited as he looked at his 17th brother who was holding the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and unleashing a monstrous emperor¡¯s might, reviving the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword with all his might. Since these people wanted to harm Qin Chen, he could not let them continue to live. Qin Chen stood up and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at the God-realm experts who were trembling under the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword¡¯s emperor¡¯s might. They did not expect Qin Chen to have already informed the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Imperial Lord had brought the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. These God-realm experts were, of course, no match for the extreme emperor weapon. Some of them were extremely terrified, while others were furious and unwilling to accept defeat. If they had been frank and decisive earlier, they would not have been fooled by Qin Chen. ¡°Elder King, I refuse to accept this!¡± Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°So what if you¡¯re f*cking finding this unacceptable? If you¡¯re unwilling to accept this, we¡¯ll talk about it in your next life.¡± ¡°Kill!¡± With that, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword burst out with an extremely powerful emperor¡¯s might. The terrifying emperor¡¯s might circulated within, and the powerful force shook the void that almost shattered from being unable to withstand the force. These God-realm experts knew that they were doomed. Immediately, some still wanted to attack Qin Chen before they died. They released extremely powerful attacks, but they couldn¡¯t even break the Emperor array. The emperor¡¯s might of the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword fell, and the giant sword shadows minced the bodies of these Gods from the powerful cosmic races into nothingness as if they had never existed in this world. Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were excited and cheered. They had thought that the Taiyi Holy Land was going to be destroyed today. They did not expect the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty to come with the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword at this critical moment. Furthermore, he had come at the right time! Any longer and the Emperor array might have been broken. On this day, countless experts were shocked. As many as six or seven God-realm experts had died. One had to know that those were God-realm experts, not weeds on the roadside. In the entire human race, the old lunatic was the only God-realm cultivator. Unfortunately, his whereabouts were uncertain and he was extremely difficult to find. Ordinary people had no chance of meeting him. After these God-realm experts died, their primordial spirits were also obliterated, turning into specks of starlight that scattered into the world, turning into traces of origin power to nourish the ten lands. It was also on this day that Qin Chen issued a warning, ¡°If there are any experts from the cosmic who dare to cause trouble in the ten lands, they will be killed. They will not be spared. Take these Gods as your warning!¡± After that, the spatial rings of these God-realm experts were put away. Qin Chen handed them over to Lu Xuan for safe keeping so that all the experts in the Taiyi Holy Land could cultivate and improve their realms. After all, the current human race still couldn¡¯t compare to the powerful cosmic races. The current human race had long lost its glory, and if they wanted to rise, they had to start from scratch. Of course, there were also many powerful cosmic races that were roaring in anger. They had not expected the human race¡¯s Elder King to be so brutal and kill so many God-realm experts. Even for the many powerful cosmic races, losing a God-realm expert was a huge loss. Moreover, Qin Chen killed so many of them. As such, for a moment, many powerful cosmic races wanted to attack Qin Chen, but they could only hide and curse since they didn¡¯t want to die. After all, it would be too aggrieving to die like this. Soon after, powerful cosmic races decreased sharply in the ten lands. Some of them were killed, some hid, and some returned to the cosmic. It was too dangerous. If they dared to do anything, Qin Chen would teach them a lesson immediately. The entire ten lands shook because of one person. That was the human Elder King. With his own strength, he had suppressed the experts from the powerful races that had come from the cosmic. At least for now, the strong races from the cosmic didn¡¯t dare to be too brazen in the ten lands. No matter how weak the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were, they still had extreme emperor weapons. With these weapons, the God-realm experts would be killed mercilessly. In this era¡¯s emperor¡¯s path, the battle on the Great Paths had yet to begin, but many monstrous talents had already been killed. After all, Qin Chen had killed quite a number of geniuses, all of them evildoers who had committed crimes and killed innocent human beings. Qin Chen did not show any mercy to these geniuses who were not of his race. He killed as many as he could and was not afraid of them. Even if there were Gods who wanted to avenge their clansmen, he would kill them as well with his extreme emperor weapon. He did not want to see the human race being in misery and suffering anymore. The scene of countless resentful souls wailing had a great impact on his state of mind. If Qin Chen wanted to break through, he had to kill more God-realm experts. As long as those God-realm experts dared to come, he would preserve their corpses and use them to refine the divine source. These divine sources could help him to improve his cultivation faster and increase his realm in a short time. With the re-opening of the emperor¡¯s path and the restoration of Heaven and Earth, the path to becoming an emperor in this era would definitely be filled with many dangers and terrors. Those monstrous geniuses from the powerful cosmic races were only the appetizer. The road ahead would be even more dangerous, so he had to make good use of the time to improve his realm. There was another huge threat hanging above Qin Chen¡¯s head. He had killed the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion, which undoubtedly offended the other party¡¯s faction. After a few hundred years, when the barrier between Heaven and Earth broke again, the experts of the Taihuang Pavilion would come to him to condemn him. At that time, if Qin Chen did not have the strength to resist the crisis, he would most likely die. After all, in the nine Heavens, there were countless experts, and the spiritual energy there was many times thicker than the ten lands. At the thought of this, Qin Chen took out the divine sources and began to cultivate. These divine sources were enough for him to break through to level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm. However, after reaching level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm, the amount of divine source he would need would be even greater. He would need countless divine sources refined from the corpses of God-realm experts to make a breakthrough. A God-realm expert had already contacted the ten thousand ancient races. Chapter 276 - 276 Fighting Geniuses 276 Fighting Geniuses Even though the Elder King was powerful enough to suppress both the human race and the ten thousand ancient races, in the eyes of those geniuses, he just seemed strong because everyone around him was too weak. What was there to fear from such a person? If it wasn¡¯t for the extreme emperor weapon, the Elder King would have died many times over. The expressions of the geniuses from the powerful races in the vast cosmic became more and more indecipherable. Someone couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Which fellow Daoist will make the first move?¡± In the great Emperor¡¯s palace, Qin Chen was checking in. ¡°Check-in, system,¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. [Congratulations, you have checked into the great Emperor¡¯s palace and received 50 kilograms of divine source.] Qin Chen was surprised. This was really like receiving a pillow when one was drowsy. Now, Qin Chen¡¯s divine source had almost been exhausted. There was not much left. His cultivation had also broken through to level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm. He had only advanced two small realms from level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm, but he had used up all the divine sources he had obtained from killing so many God realm experts. It was basically impossible for Qin Chen to obtain the 50 kilograms of the divine source himself. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a voice echoed throughout the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Where is the human Elder King? Why don¡¯t you come out and meet me!¡± This voice came from a monstrous genius of a powerful cosmic race. One of Qin Chen¡¯s clones in the great hall of the Taiyi Holy Land had also heard it. Then, Qin Chen¡¯s main body smiled and walked out of the great emperor¡¯s palace, arriving outside the Taiyi Holy Land. Seeing the figure of the monstrous genius of a powerful cosmic race, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that someone would challenge me so quickly.¡± That genius had a pair of black dragon eyes, and he actually had a trace of dragon bloodline. He looked at Qin Chen and said loudly, ¡°It¡¯s useless to say more. Elder King, make your move!¡± Qin Chen nodded and said, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s fight in the starry sky.¡± If a battle broke out in the Taiyi Holy Land, it would have a lot of impacts. After all, it would be bad if the flowers and plants were accidentally hurt. The genius was stunned for a moment when he saw the human Elder King agree so readily. Then, he flew into the starry sky. Qin Chen¡¯s clone held the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, and guarded the Tai Yi Holy Land. On the other hand, Qin Chen¡¯s original body activated the Chaotic Holy Body, emitting rules that rumbled the heavens. He arrived in the starry sky, where the genius had long been waiting. Not only was this genius watching Qin Chen, but there were also other geniuses from the powerful cosmic races who did not dare to show themselves. They were afraid that this was a trap and that Qin Chen would go back on his word and use the extreme emperor weapon to kill them all. As such, they wanted to wait until the end of this battle to see what Qin Chen would do. Qin Chen also sensed the spiritual will and smiled. ¡°Make your move then!¡± The monstrous genius with a pair of black dragon eyes erupted with his Supreme Sagely might of a level 9 Supreme Sage. Many rules circulated on his body, and multicolored light filled the sky. He stood there like a tall tower, and his aura was already shocking! ¡°The Great Path has no edge!¡± The monstrous expert roared. Then, he turned into a huge towering sword and slashed down. He used himself as a weapon and the Great Path as his power to kill Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s aura also burst out from his body. He had actually reached level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm. Although compared to the information that those geniuses had, Qin Chen had advanced by two small realms, this was not too surprising to them. After all, to them, it was only an advancement of two small realms. That genius with a pair of black dragon eyes was a level 9 Supreme Sage, which was four small realms higher than Qin Chen. He had been fighting in the cosmic. To be able to survive until now, he must have many means to suppress all enemies. Chapter 277 - 277 Laughable 277 Laughable The monstrous genius with a pair of black dragon eyes was testing Qin Chen. As such, he naturally held back, but such pressure was enough to crush an ordinary level 5 Supreme Sage-realm expert. The rules of chaos shrouded Qin Chen¡¯s body, and the Chaotic Holy Body rumbled automatically. Heaven and Earth changed, and the momentum of Heaven and Earth all gathered on him. In other words, in this state, Qin Chen¡¯s strength could be increased a little more than before. He was like Heaven¡¯s favored son, and even the heavens would help him. Qin Chen used his strength as a level 5 Supreme Sage to fight against this genius from a powerful cosmic race. He used an Emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint! It condensed countless laws, and the void trembled as well. Then, it shattered the void as it crushed toward that genius! The genius with a pair of black dragon eyes laughed. Even if Qin Chen wanted to suppress a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert now, he was still lacking in power. Otherwise, this attack would have indeed been enough to suppress him. Wisps of chaotic aura gathered beside the giant handprint like a misty drizzle. It was obscure and mysterious, but the power it released was terrifying. If an ordinary cultivator of the same realm stood beside Qin Chen, he would definitely be killed. The power was beyond imagination! It was the supreme rhythm that Qin Chen had comprehended from the rules of chaos in the innate sword embryo. In the blink of an eye, the huge handprint collided with the level 9 Supreme Sage-realm genius with a pair of black dragon eyes. The tall tower was broken and the huge handprint was shattered. Neither of them had gained the upper hand. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t unafraid. He stepped forward again with the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand and struck out a terrifying attack. It was as if a Demon God had come to this world, and it actually made the level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert¡¯s breath stop for a split second due to shock. He had not expected Qin Chen¡¯s strength to be so monstrous. No wonder the other party could sweep through the human race and the ten thousand ancient races. It turned out that he was already strong enough and had evolved to such a level. ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°To think he¡¯s on par with a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert?¡± Almost at the same time, all the spiritual wills detected this horrifying scene. Boom! The aura between Heaven and Earth seemed to have been suppressed to the extreme. As Qin Chen continued to attack, the genius with black dragon eyes gradually lost and retreated. The genius was playing hard to get! Qin Chen could tell, but he still turned the act into reality and accompanied the genius in his show. The black dragon-eyed genius was not good at close combat. After a while, the human Elder King gained the upper hand. Following this, the genius with black dragon eyes used a ghostly movement technique and quickly widened the distance between himself and Qin Chen. There seemed to be lightning flashing in his eyes as he roared like a dragon. A gaze that one could not bear came pressing down on Qin Chen with a huge pressure! This was a spiritual attack. It used the dragon race¡¯s powerful dragon might to intimidate the souls of living creatures, thus achieving the effect of subduing the enemy. Qin Chen was quite amused. His spiritual power had already reached the level of a God. He did not expect that the genius with black dragon eyes would dare to use spiritual attacks on him. In terms of spiritual attacks, Qin Chen far surpassed the other party. The genius with black dragon eyes laughed out loud. He was confident that Qin Chen would definitely fall under this spiritual attack. After all, he had never heard of a level 5 Supreme Sage-realm expert being able to withstand the spiritual attack of a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert. When Qin Chen kneeled on the ground due to being defeated by the attack, he would take the opportunity to take the human Elder King¡¯s life. After Qin Chen¡¯s main body died, his clone would die as well. With that, he would¡¯ve naturally eliminated a great enemy on the path to becoming an emperor! He couldn¡¯t help but admire Qin Che, whose talent was truly monstrous. If the latter was born in the vast cosmic, he would have long become a God-realm expert. With Qin Chen¡¯s power to suppress experts of the same realm, he already had a deep admiration for him. Unfortunately, there was no other way. On the path to becoming an emperor, it was either one died or the other did. In the battle on the Great Paths, the winner lived and the loser died. This was the cruel reality. The rest of the geniuses from the other powerful cosmic races also relaxed at this moment. They knew that although Qin Chen¡¯s strength was heaven-defying enough to fight with a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert, his spiritual power was definitely not as terrifying as a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert¡¯s. They did not expect that Qin Chen was just a useless, stupid, blind, and arrogant human. It was already letting him off easy for him to die in the hands of this genius with black dragon eyes. One must know that Qin Chen¡¯s hands were stained with the blood of too many God experts from powerful races in the cosmic. It was such a pity to let him die so easily. Qin Chen stopped his attack and looked at the black dragon-eyed genius of a powerful cosmic race. His smile became more and more unreadable. The genius with a pair of black dragon eyes looked at his opponent and could not help but think, ¡°Could it be that the Elder King has seen through my killing move?¡± However, even if the Elder King had seen through it, he was still in a situation of certain death. There was no hope of escaping from his palm! Qin Chen only said one word, ¡°Laughable.¡± Then, the spiritual attack launched by the genius with black dragon eyes landed on Qin Chen. The attack was extremely powerful, but Qin Chen was simply unafraid. After all, his spiritual power was far more terrifying. The spiritual attack shot out from the enemy¡¯s eyes and charged toward Qin Chen¡¯s soul like a black dragon. Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit immediately left his body. A miniature version of Qin Chen, who looked exactly like him, sat alone on the spiritual platform. He conjured a huge blade and slashed at the black dragon that was charging at him! He chopped off that black dragon¡¯s head! Instantly, blood flowed out of the eyes of the black dragon-eyed genius as he let out a blood-curdling scream! ¡°Ah!!¡± He was on the verge of a mental breakdown! After all, that black dragon was created by his spirit. Now that its head was cut off by Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit, it meant that he was also seriously injured. His soul had to bear the backlash as if it was being torn apart. Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit suddenly burst out with a powerful pressure, pressing down on the genius! The genius, who was already severely injured, was even more vulnerable. His soul was directly wiped out by Qin Chen¡¯s powerful force. His body lost all vitality and fell heavily from the starry sky to the Taiyi Holy Land. It was terrifying! To think a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert was killed by the human race¡¯s Elder King! And the genius was killed with the same means that he had been the most proficient in! The truth was simply too chilling. How could this be? They had seen with their own eyes that Qin Chen had been about to fall for the attack. Chapter 278 - 278 Heavenly Tribulation 278 Heavenly Tribulation ¡°Is the human Elder King really a Supreme Sage?¡± To think he was so terrifying that he killed the genius of the mud dragon Race in the starry sky, and he did it with spiritual attacks, which was what the genius had been most skilled in. Countless exclamations rose from all around. They had never thought that the human Elder King could kill a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert in such a short time! They could no longer remain calm when they sensed this situation with their spiritual wills! ¡°It can¡¯t be. Does this human Elder King really have the power to challenge all Supreme Sages?¡± ¡°The human race is so weak. How could there be such an expert?¡± The geniuses of the powerful cosmic races all stared with their eyes wide open, shocked and silent. At the same time, many disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land also saw that the Elder King killed a genius from a powerful cosmic race who was of a higher level than him without using an extreme emperor weapon! This scene made them even more excited! ¡°The Elder King is mighty!¡± ¡°As expected of the Elder King!¡± ¡°The number one of the human race is indeed the Elder King!¡± ¡°Even the geniuses of the strong races from the cosmic can¡¯t be our Elder King¡¯s match!¡± ¡°When the Elder King breaks through to the God realm, he will be able to kill those brazen God-realm experts without the extreme emperor weapon!¡± Outside the Taiyi Holy Land, the experts were in a daze and extremely frightened. A genius of a powerful cosmic race who didn¡¯t believe that the Elder King had such strength walked out. He wanted to use his own strength to prove that the human Elder King must have used some kind of method to kill that genius! At this time, Qin Chen was just standing in the starry sky, looking at the other party from a distance. His eyes carried endless pressure that emitted fluctuations of the God realm! The genius¡¯s soul was destroyed in an instant. Before he could even scream, he was already dead. Yet another level 9 Supreme Sage-realm genius fell from the starry sky, and two corpses were now on the ground in front of the Taiyi Holy Land. The blood on the ground made all geniuses realize how extraordinary the Elder King was! This scene also deeply shocked many of the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races who had heard the news. The two ancient princes of the ancient race were both in disbelief. How could the Elder King be so powerful? ¡°His reserves are even less than ours. We sealed ourselves in the primordial era and were only born in this era. We have been immersed in the Supreme Sage realm for many years. Yet, even we are not the opponents of those powerful cosmic races, so how could the Elder King kill them?¡± ¡°Furthermore, the Elder King¡¯s level is far from the level of the two geniuses from the powerful cosmic races that were killed. Yet, the Elder King won, and it was an extremely easy victory¡­¡± Qin Chen¡¯s original body returned to the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land from the starry sky. He was looking down on all his enemies. Many wonderful techniques evolved in his mind and he actually entered a state of enlightenment! This scene once again shocked the self-proclaimed geniuses of the powerful cosmic races to the extreme. They immediately gasped! ¡°To think the human Elder King is unprecedentedly powerful. I¡¯ve never heard of him before!¡± With such strength, the Elder King could already easily beat them all up even though they were all in the same realm. Qin Chen had just broken through to level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm. Now that he had entered a state of enlightenment, he was actually following the flow and charging toward level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm! Qin Chen himself was also aware of this miraculous change. Even among the ancient great emperors, there were only a few who could do what he had achieved. As time passed¡­ Boom! For a moment, the winds surged, the clouds morphed, and chaos rose. Something seemed to be brewing in the sky, bringing terrifying pressure. Not long after, the sound of heavenly thunder rumbling could be heard! Compared to Qin Chen, those geniuses from the powerful cosmic races could only be regarded as ordinary passers-by. They could simply not be compared to him. Qin Chen¡¯s action of wanting to break through to level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm had already violated heaven¡¯s will, and it had actually sent down a heavenly tribulation to stop his breakthrough. Such a legendary occurrence had only ever happened to ancient great emperors. Who would have thought that it would happen to Qin Chen today? ¡°I¡¯m not as good as the human Elder King,¡± A level 9 Supreme Sage realm genius said with great difficulty. He actually admitted that he was not Qin Chen¡¯s match. If there was anyone else on the road to becoming an emperor, that person would definitely become Qin Chen¡¯s stepping stone. Once upon a time, they had even mocked that the human Elder King could only be their stepping stone. But now, the situation was reversed. This change was brought about by Qin Chen himself! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a monstrous existence in this era!¡± ¡°With this enemy on the road to becoming an emperor, there¡¯s simply no way for us to advance!¡± When Qin Chen was at level 3 of the Supreme Sage realm, he could already use his extreme emperor weapon to kill them. Now, even without the extreme emperor weapon, he could kill these Supreme Sage-realm geniuses with his own strength. How could they not feel ashamed of their inferiority? Qin Chen looked up at the sky. The Chaotic Holy Body was circulating, and his figure stood tall and straight like an ancient great emperor. The rules of chaos had already formed a layer of protection around his body. If the heavenly tribulation were to descend, Qin Chen would naturally resist it. The Heavenly Dao seemed to be enraged as well. With a thunderous roar, lightning poured down like a waterfall! Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were bright as he burst out with powerful spiritual power that was at the level of a God-realm expert! No wonder the genius from the mud dragon race had been killed by Qin Chen in his most proficient field. It turned out that Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power had already reached such a level. Qin Chen¡¯s battle intent soared. Even if the heavenly tribulation was about to destroy the world, he was not afraid. Instead, he used his spiritual power to suppress the heavenly tribulation. However, the heavenly tribulation turned into a seemingly human-form creature instead and attacked him! Looking at this unimaginable scene, no one had expected the heavenly tribulation to take human form! Qin Chen muttered, ¡°Since the ancient great emperors were able to clear it, then there¡¯s no reason for me to not be able to!¡± To think he compared himself to the ancient great emperors. The many ancient princes of the ten thousand ancient races remained silent. Just this point alone was enough for the other party to surpass them. Even though their fathers were ancient heavenly sovereigns, they didn¡¯t dare to say such words so easily either. Qin Chen faced the human-form heavenly tribulation head-on. Using the rules of chaos as a weapon, he attacked the human-form heavenly tribulation with a long sword in his hand! The human-form heavenly tribulation kept erupting with terrifying power, seemingly wanting to kill Qin Chen at all costs, not allowing such a genius to live in this world! ¡°Elder King¡­¡± In the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan, the big scorpion, Lord Dragon, and many other experts could no longer sit still. They were even more nervous than Qin Chen himself. If this matter was spread out, the entire ten lands would be shocked! Facing the human-form existence formed by the heavenly tribulation, Qin Chen used the rules of chaos as a weapon and slashed out terrifying sword energy. Then, he once again struck out with the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint! For a moment, the void shattered. To think that he could achieve such a feat with his own strength. This caused everyone¡¯s expressions to flicker, and all of them looked solemn! Chapter 279 - 279 Chaotic Heavenly Emperor Appears Again 279 Chaotic Heavenly Emperor Appears Again ¡°How terrifying! To the human Elder King is so terrifying. In the entire ten lands, I¡¯m afraid no one is his match!¡± ¡°Other than the God-realm experts, who else can suppress the human Elder King?¡± ¡°It would be great if the human Elder King can¡¯t survive. That way, we can have one less enemy.¡± ¡°If we want to go further on the Great Path to becoming an emperor, we can¡¯t avoid the human Elder King.¡± The ancient princes said such words, and so did the geniuses from the powerful cosmic races. The scene of the heavenly tribulation taking human form was too much of a shock to them. ¡°I wonder if the human Elder King can survive this?¡± ¡°In my opinion, he¡¯s definitely doomed to be annihilated. The Heavenly Dao will not allow such a powerful genius to exist.¡± ¡°If the human race¡¯s Elder King lives, I¡¯m afraid the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate it.¡± Many experts were paying close attention to the situation as they sent their spiritual wills over. The fluctuation shocked the entire area within a radius of a million miles. Even people far away could feel a terrifying fluctuation. ¡°What is this? Could it be that someone is undergoing a God-realm heavenly tribulation?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. The God-realm heavenly tribulation is not that easy to deal with.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid this is the fluctuation of a heavenly tribulation before the God realm. Who is it that chose to break through here?¡± ¡°Could it be one of those monstrous geniuses from a powerful cosmic race that crossed the emperor¡¯s path?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It¡¯s also possible that it¡¯s some Supreme Sage awakened by one of the ten thousand ancient races who¡¯s breaking through in this era. After all, this era has been different from the previous ones since Heaven and Earth have been restored. If one were to break through now, it would be much easier than before.¡± Many people were paying attention to the matter. When they found out that it was the Elder King who was making a breakthrough, they were shocked. They could not believe that such a terrifying heavenly tribulation was brought about by the Elder King. ¡°Could it be that the Elder King has the potential to become an emperor?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid a God-realm expert might not even be able to withstand such a powerful heavenly tribulation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I think the human Elder King is going to die.¡± ¡°Once he dies, no one in the human race will be able to shoulder the race. At that time, the ten thousand ancient races will rise again and regain our glory.¡± ¡°Those humans were food for the ten thousand ancient races in the primordial era. As ants that were raised in captivity, they were worse than pigs and sheep.¡± ¡°Yet today, the human race is standing on our heads. It has been so long and it is time to restore the order of the ten lands back to the primordial era.¡± Countless existences hoped that Qin Chen would fail to break through and be killed by the Heavenly Dao. They knew that he had the innate sword embryo which was an extreme emperor weapon. With this treasure, Qin Chen would not die. When he broke through to the God realm, no one would be able to suppress him. In the entire human race, other than the old lunatic, there were no other God-realm experts. Even if the human race had extreme emperor weapons, the combined attacks of the ten thousand ancient races would still be too much for them to handle. Perhaps the human race would be exterminated. Even if Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body and the Chaotic Imperial Scripture, he was still no match for this human-form heavenly tribulation. His attack hit the human-form heavenly tribulation, but there was no change in the latter at all. In other words, the human-form heavenly tribulation was most definitely an existence stronger than Qin Chen¡¯s realm. Its power was enough to kill Qin Chen. Qin Chen was hit by a punch. This punch was formed by the Heavenly Dao¡¯s disastrous thunder. It instantly broke through the void and displayed the wondrous technique of the heavens. Under the shocking power of this punch, many God-realm experts gasped. Even they might not be able to withstand it. Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Holy Body and burst out with the rules of chaos. He used both his hands to defend, but he was knocked back several steps by the punch. Next, the human-form heavenly tribulation struck again. This time, Qin Chen¡¯s body was bombarded until there was not a piece of intact flesh. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. The spots that were hit by the human-form heavenly tribulation¡¯s fist seemed to have turned into charcoal, and the heavenly lightning contained in the wounds was rapidly devouring Qin Chen¡¯s vitality. With just a single exchange, Qin Chen had already suffered such a heavy injury. In everyone¡¯s eyes, this was already a doomed result. ¡°The human Elder King can¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°Today is destined to be the day when that human elder is going to die. Such a genius is too dazzling. He has actually aroused the jealousy of the heavens and made them want to kill him.¡± However, this was great. At least, it allowed the other geniuses on the road to becoming an emperor to let out a sigh of relief. As long as this continued, their path would be much smoother when Qin Chen was completely killed. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to get their hands on the chance to become an Emperor. Qin Chen smiled coldly. He did not seem to care about how serious his injuries were. As long as he was still breathing, he was invincible. This was written in the opening chapter of the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. What kind of person was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor back then? He would probably be able to blow up this Heavenly Tribulation with a single punch. It was a pity that Qin Chen was too weak. He could not be compared to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The heavens valued all life. Even if it was an almost certain death, there was still a slim chance of survival. Qin Chen grasped the chance. He closed his eyes and entered a state of enlightenment. He seemed to have seen an Illusory figure that was displaying some kind of Great Path of origin. Wisps of the emperor¡¯s might emanated from Qin Chen¡¯s body, causing everyone to gasp. One should know that Qin Chen was not carrying the innate sword embryo with him, so without an extreme emperor weapon, how could he release such a terrifying emperor¡¯s might? Could this be a life-saving technique that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left for Qin Chen? The human-form heavenly tribulation seemed to have seen something. There was actually an illusory figure smashing toward it! The figure¡¯s one punch was enough to make the human-form heavenly tribulation retreat in fear. The human-form heavenly tribulation spoke in the human language as if it recognized the figure, ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± Countless existences were shocked by this scene. How was this possible? Could it be that Qin Chen was really this era¡¯s successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? Qin Chen silently watched the figure and deduced the rules of origin. The rules of origin were actually the rules of chaos! Rebirth from perishing and Nirvana from destruction was the meaning of the existence of chaos. Chaos could bring death to all things, but it could also bring new life to all things. The human-form heavenly tribulation waited until the figure disappeared before attacking Qin Chen again. And now, Qin Chen seemed to have understood something. His cultivation realm was gradually rising. He looked at the human-form heavenly tribulation and was not the least bit afraid. His fighting spirit was soaring as he charged and attacked. Chapter 280 - 280 Crushing the Heavenly Tribulation 280 Crushing the Heavenly Tribulation The human-form heavenly tribulation seemed to be roaring angrily, venting the grievances it had suffered just now on Qin Chen. Soon, Qin Chen¡¯s body began to sway as if he would fall at any moment. The terrifying human-form heavenly tribulation did not hesitate and continued to attack, wanting to get rid of Qin Chen in one fell swoop. At the most critical moment, everyone held their breath, hoping for a miracle to happen. If the human race¡¯s Elder King were to die just like that, it would probably cause a great shock to the world. After all, he had long been recognized as an outstanding talent by many monstrous geniuses. Was this generation¡¯s hero destined to wither in this desperate situation? Qin Chen¡¯s body finally lost all vitality, and even his last breath dissipated from the world. Almost everyone thought that Qin Chen had already died. The ten thousand ancient races were silent. The humans cried out in grief, and many figures from the Taiyi Holy Land shed tears. At this moment, a force appeared out of nowhere and Qin Chen¡¯s body started transforming! The originally burnt flesh all fell off his body, replaced by white porcelain skin. It was like a new body. The human-form heavenly tribulation seemed to be roaring, ¡°You should be completely dead. How can you still live in this world without a soul?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes flew open. In his eyes, the aura of his soul slowly appeared from nothing. Then, he returned to his peak, or even higher. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s current appearance, countless geniuses were shocked. What was going on? They had never heard of a person being able to come back to life! Could this be some kind of secret technique? Or was it a life-saving trump card that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left for Qin Chen? Only Qin Chen knew that he had already found his own rule in the origin of chaos that the figure had deduced. Although he could only borrow a little bit of source power, he could still stand in an immortal state. Even the human-form heavenly tribulation was destined to be unable to do anything to him! Unless the human-form heavenly tribulation could send down an even more terrifying power. ¡°As long as he is still breathing, he will not be defeated in any way,¡± Countless humans cheered. The big scorpion had already been mourning, but when he saw Qin Chen standing unscathed, he immediately scolded, ¡°You brat, how dare you trick me into crying!¡± Lu Xuan and the others were also overjoyed at the moment. They did not expect the Elder King to be able to stand up again. To think the terrifying attack just now did not kill Qin Chen. Could it be that he was destined to survive this disaster? The manifestation of the rules of chaos on Qin Chen¡¯s body was even more terrifying than before. At this moment, his aura had reached level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm, and he was not the least bit afraid of the human-form heavenly tribulation. He knew that the reason why he had been able to survive and control the rules of the origin of chaos was that his Chaotic Holy Body had resonated with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor across the vast river of time-space. It made the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s illusory figure appear to resist the human-form heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen was naturally extremely excited to receive such a great favor. He had thought that he was doomed to die, but he did not expect such a shocking turn of events. The human-form heavenly tribulation roared madly, ¡°No, this is impossible! It can¡¯t be that you are that person¡¯s successor?!¡± Qin Chen smiled faintly. Although his Chaotic Holy Body had been obtained through the system by checking in, and the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor hadn¡¯t been the one who passed down the Chaotic Imperial Scripture to him, he had just met the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was not wrong for him to be called the latter¡¯s successor. Seeing that Qin Chen admitted that he was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s successor, the human-form heavenly tribulation roared, ¡°I¡¯d like to see if his successor is as powerful as he was back then!¡± Qin Chen had long been waiting for this sentence. His body had been reborn, and even the strongest Divine Body in the world could not compare to him. Qin Chen¡¯s control of Heaven and Earth had already reached its peak. He launched an attack at the human-form heavenly tribulation. As soon as he did so, the heavens rumbled. Accompanied by the terrifying scene of the void shattering, black holes and cracks even appeared in some places. It was extremely terrifying! The human-form heavenly tribulation was fearless. The heavenly lightning on its body surged and attacked Qin Chen. When the two clashed, they only used the most ordinary of punches and kicks, but they had already displayed many mysterious concepts. Even the most profound cultivation technique in the world could not compare. This was Qin Chen borrowing the Dao of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to collide with the heavenly tribulation. After breaking through and coming back to life, Qin Chen crushed the human-form heavenly tribulation under the exclamations of the crowd! Heaven and Earth returned to their peaceful state, and the dark tribulation clouds had also dispersed. This time, Qin Chen managed to survive and even gained great benefits from it. To think he could peek into the origin of chaos from the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s illusory figure. Qin Chen was so happy that he couldn¡¯t speak. This was a great opportunity that he couldn¡¯t get even if he checked in at all sorts of places. After sensing Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough, countless experts of the ten thousand ancient races withdrew their spiritual wills. Some of the level 9 Supreme Sage experts who had been hiding not far away from the Taiyi Holy Land also left at this time. The entire Taiyi Holy Land cheered because they had witnessed Qin Chen destroy the heavenly tribulation of the high heavens with his own power! How terrifying was a human-form heavenly tribulation? Most likely, only the ancient great emperors would be able to withstand it back when they were young! ¡°The Elder King is mighty!¡± Many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land started to cheer! They had thought that the Elder King would not be able to survive, but they did not expect him to destroy the heavenly tribulation and even use it to temper his own techniques. Just based on this point alone, few in the human race in this era could compete with him. Qin Chen looked up at the sky. He wondered where the current Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was or whether he was still alive. Where did those ancient great emperors go? Why did they disappear without a trace? If Qin Chen wanted to uncover these secrets, he would probably have to wait until he became a great emperor. In this life, there were already many monstrous geniuses on the path to becoming an emperor who regarded Qin Chen as a great emperor. They were definitely not as monstrous as Qin Chen. To think his casual breakthrough could attract tribulation lightning from the Heavenly Dao, which wanted to kill him. How terrifying was that? It didn¡¯t take him long to break through three levels and reach level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. Even the most monstrous of geniuses could not do what Qin Chen had done. It was infuriating to compare. In this battle, Qin Chen succeeded in becoming revered as a God. He was someone who was no weaker than the great emperors back when they were young. Qin Chen¡¯s identity was also known by countless people. ¡°The Elder King is the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± Chapter 281 - 281 The Terrifying Existences Break Free 281 The Terrifying Existences Break Free After Qin Chen broke through, he felt that his body was even more terrifying than before. Every move he made was filled with the rules of chaos. The reason why he was able to recognize that the illusory figure was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was that back when the terrifying existence had attacked him in the Emperor Burial Abyss, the God in the innate sword embryo had been revived, and the might of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had been recreated. Countless geniuses sighed with emotion. It was a great regret to have the human Elder King on the path to becoming an emperor. If it wasn¡¯t for the human Elder King, they would have an extra 10% to 30% chance of becoming an emperor. However, with the human Elder King¡¯s heaven-defying breakthrough, even the God-realm experts were a little afraid of him. Even the God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races who had come from the emperor¡¯s path felt fear. They had originally thought that the path to becoming an emperor would be much easier in this era. After all, the human race was weak and the ten thousand ancient races no longer had the glory of the primordial era. Yet in the end, an Elder King of the human race appeared. He used his power to directly suppress many powerful races that came from the vast cosmic. Even if they attacked together, Elder King would be unafraid because he had the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. Once such a terrifying weapon was activated, it could kill Gods as easily as killing chickens and dogs. No matter what they did now, they could not do anything to the human Elder King. It was basically impossible to kill the human Elder King. The ancient princes of the ten thousand ancient races were also extremely shocked. They couldn¡¯t imagine how Qin Chen had managed to reach such a realm. He was able to suppress and even kill the geniuses of many powerful cosmic races. In contrast, they couldn¡¯t even beat a single person on the other side. The huge gap between the two parties made them feel a huge psychological defeat. It made them doubt their abilities in cultivating. The feeling of being surpassed by the human race¡¯s Elder King made them extremely unhappy. However, there was nothing they could do. The human Elder King had grown too quickly. Even with the reserves left behind by their fathers, the ancient princes could not catch up with him. When Qin Chen broke through to become a God-realm expert, the powers of the ten lands would be reshuffled. Many of the ten thousand ancient races might be exterminated. After all, the power of an extreme emperor weapon wielded by a God-realm expert would be far beyond that of an ordinary Supreme Sage. By then, no one would be able to stop him. Even the ancient races of the ancient princes did not dare to interfere with Qin Chen¡¯s affairs. They were afraid that the latter would vent his anger on them. By then, it would be too late to regret. The human race¡¯s Elder King was decisive in killing. This was something that everyone knew. Even in the entire ten lands, he was not afraid of the strong cosmic races. Now, Qin Chen had entered the great emperor¡¯s palace and continued to sit cross-legged, trying to improve his realm even faster, even though he knew that it was impossible to break through now. However, he couldn¡¯t just continue like this either. After a few hundred years, the experts of the Taihuang Pavilion would descend from the nine Heavens to the ten lands. Since Qin Chen had killed a God-realm expert of the Taihuang Pavilion, he would definitely be accounted for. He might even be killed. Therefore, before the powerful races of the nine Heavens descended, Qin Chen had to have the power to protect himself. He had to at least reach the God realm. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to break through. At this moment, a shocking aura radiated! The terrifying fluctuation erupted from the Emperor Burial Abyss in the depths of Western Heaven! Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed drastically. Could it be that the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss had broken free? If that were the case, he would be in danger. Back then, the God in the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo was revived. After it protected Qin Chen, he was thus hated by the existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. If they escaped, they would definitely come to Qin Chen for revenge. This huge pressure had been pressing on Qin Chen¡¯s heart. He really didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a change in the Emperor Burial Abyss just after he broke through to level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. As he thought of this, he immediately left with the innate emperor weapon and headed to the Emperor Burial Abyss. The ancient princes also headed toward the Emperor Burial Abyss with their ancient imperial weapons. Many of them were familiar faces to Qin Chen. A terrifying figure appeared at the entrance of the Emperor Burial Abyss. The aura of this figure was especially powerful. His body was actually constantly disintegrating and reassembling as if it was being destroyed and reborn. The two forces in one body were constantly confronting each other, and the owner of the body seemed to be suffering great pain. This aura was clearly at the peak of the God realm! Qin Chen had never thought that there would be such a terrifying expert. Could it be that he was the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss? Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s confusion, many did not know what was going on either. Very quickly, a voice came from the bottom of the Emperor Burial Abyss, ¡°I¡¯ve used the body of this Holy Son to escape and this body has a small part of my power. Who was it that came to the Emperor Burial Abyss last time?¡± When he asked this question, he noticed Qin Chen¡¯s aura fluctuation. He was extremely familiar with Qin Chen¡¯s aura, so he turned around and looked at the latter. Countless people were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that this person¡¯s face would already be unrecognizable! No one knew which Holy Land this Holy Son was from, but from his clothes, someone managed to recognize him. ¡°He¡¯s the successor of the Zilong Holy Land!¡± The Zilong Holy Land was a declining Holy Land. Many years ago, they had produced a quasi-emperor-realm expert, but the Holy Land gradually withered and weakened after that, until it had reached this point. The Holy Son of the Zilong Holy Land had come to the Emperor Burial Abyss to see if there were any other benefits. In the end, the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss invaded his soul and took over his body. At this moment, he was no longer himself, but a portion of the terrifying existence¡¯s power under the Emperor Burial Abyss. Just this power alone had allowed him to reach the peak of the God realm! Such a terrifying combat strength couldn¡¯t be ignored no matter where it was. Countless people gasped. How could they fight this? Even if they were to use their extreme emperor weapons, the other party might still have ways to avoid them. After all, these were existences that had fought with ancient great emperors before being sealed under the Emperor Burial Abyss. Even the ancient great emperors were unable to kill them. From this, it could be seen how terrifying they were. Now that they had actually escaped, it naturally shocked the entire ten lands! ¡°The terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss has broken free!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Zilong Holy Land¡¯s Holy Son who was possessed. That¡¯s how the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss escaped!¡± Chapter 282 - 282 The Recovery of the God 282 The Recovery of the God Facing the escape of the terrifying existence that was below the Emperor Burial Abyss, Qin Chen felt its terrifying aura, and his scalp went numb. He didn¡¯t expect the other party to possess the Holy Son of the Zilong Holy Land. Even though the Zilong Holy Land was in a bad state, to be chosen as a Holy Son, one must have some kind of Spirit Body. But now, the other party had been possessed by a terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss. The Holy Son¡¯s soul had already been destroyed. He had lost himself, and this body was nothing more than a tool that belonged to the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. Many human experts also gasped. It was likely that things would not end well today. To think that just a portion of the existence¡¯s powers that had descended upon the Holy Son had allowed him to break through to the peak of the God Realm. If the existence were to escape entirely, wouldn¡¯t he be equivalent to an ancient great emperor? Countless people became nervous. No one knew what the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss would do after escaping. Only Qin Chen knew that the other party was probably here to settle scores with him. ¡°It should have been you last time, right, junior?¡± The Holy Son¡¯s words were clearly not his own voice. It was the voice of that terrifying existence. This voice contained an extremely powerful might that couldn¡¯t be ignored. With that thought in mind, Qin Chen silently activated the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, and its terrifying aura was restored. He wasn¡¯t sure if his opponent could bypass the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s power and kill him, so the safest way was to wait until the emperor weapon was activated. The entire world was filled with terrifying energy waves when the extreme emperor weapon was activated. The terrifying existence laughed, ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t kill you since you have the extreme emperor weapon? No matter how powerful this weapon is, it¡¯s still an inanimate object, while I¡¯m alive. How can a mere weapon stop me?¡± With that, the terrifying existence charged at Qin Chen! ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor,¡± It roared, ¡°I¡¯m going to kill all your descendants in this era!¡± Qin Chen did not expect the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to have a grudge against the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. However, at this moment, the arrow was already nocked and had to be released. After all, this existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss had seized the body of the Zilong Holy Land¡¯s Holy Son and was coming for him. In an instant, Qin Chen injected all his divine power into the innate emperor weapon! Then, he launched a terrifying attack on the Holy Son¡¯s body that had been possessed! Even a God-realm expert would be destined to die under this attack. However, what Qin Chen did not expect was that this attack would make the existence who had escaped from the Emperor Burial Abyss make a move! The existence¡¯s body split into countless clones. There seemed to be at least a thousand of them, but only one of them was real. All of them rushed toward that terrifying attack. After that, the emperor weapon shook violently, but the peak God-realm body actually managed to block the attack! It was simply unbelievable! The terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss laughed, ¡°It can¡¯t be that you thought you can kill me with an extreme emperor weapon? Brat, even if you have an extreme emperor weapon, you¡¯re still doomed!¡± This terrifying existence let out an angry roar. Many Daoist techniques revolved around the body, and the countless clones merged into one. With that, his aura became even more powerful than before, and a scorching sun faintly appeared behind him. It was extremely terrifying. ¡°I will destroy chaos with the blazing sun!¡± With a roar, the terrifying existence burst out with a terrifying rule of flames. The extreme flames shocked many experts who cultivated flames. The ten thousand ancient races were shocked as well. They didn¡¯t expect that there was someone in this world who could reach such an extreme in this rule. Was this the true strength of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss? Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything and just smiled, ¡°It seems like the extreme emperor weapon can¡¯t kill you anymore. What about the God?¡± It had to be known that if the God were to recover, it might have the strength to fight against this terrifying existence. After all, only a part of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss¡¯s power was in the body of this Holy Son. If he couldn¡¯t resist, he would probably face death now. Countless terrifying forces gathered on Qin Chen¡¯s body and were all injected into the extreme emperor weapon. In almost an instant, an imposing figure appeared. It was the figure of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor! After the figure of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor appeared, he looked at the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss. However, this wasn¡¯t the true Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was just the God¡¯s imitation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The terrifying existence beneath the Emperor Burial Abyss roared in anger. It yearned to tear the magnificent figure apart! Back then, it was all because it couldn¡¯t defeat the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor that it could only hide under the Emperor Burial Abyss. Then, it happened to meet a Holy Son of a Holy Land and seized the other party¡¯s body. Then, it came out to look for Qin Chen to settle the score. In the end, the other party revived the God as soon as he came! The terrifying strength shocked him greatly. ¡°You¡¯re just a weapon left behind. So what if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor is still alive? I¡¯m not afraid of him at all!¡± The terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss roared and immediately charged out, wanting to exterminate the God¡¯s imitation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It didn¡¯t take long for the God to burst out with astonishing fluctuations. The illusory figure of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor struck out with a palm that condensed the power of Heaven and Earth. The void was constantly shattered, and the rules were annihilated while the Great Paths floated! The terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss was also taken aback. It was unwilling to let this clone be destroyed just like that. Otherwise, it would be a great loss to it. Then, it frantically performed many secret techniques in an attempt to resist the attack. If this body could bear more of its power, how could he be forced to retreat by a mere weapon¡¯s illusory figure? When it thought of this, it gritted its teeth with resentment, ¡°If I walk out of the Emperor Burial Abyss one day, I will definitely break your damned sword into several pieces!¡± Then, it charged over. Many of the ancient princes had their ancient emperor weapons but did not attack. They were afraid of the ¡°what ifs¡± if the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss emerged in the future. If they offended it now, wouldn¡¯t they have to face the consequences in the future? They were not as carefree as Qin Chen, who could fight and leave as he pleased. They had to consider the safety of the entire race. After that, a powerful fluctuation also hit the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. ¡°Minister! This old man will help you!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian roared in anger. Then, he summoned the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, which represented the power of the Great Qin Dynasty. An unparalleled emperor¡¯s might burst forth as he attacked the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss! Chapter 283 - 283 Die 283 Die Many people were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that the clone of the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss would be facing two extreme emperor weapons. The other humans also had extreme emperor weapons, but they didn¡¯t make a move. They were also worried in their hearts. As long as the existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss did not disappear, they would be on tenterhooks. If they were to offend it now, wouldn¡¯t it bring about the most terrifying revenge to their Holy Land one day? From the tone of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss, its strength should be able to rival an ancient great emperor. Wouldn¡¯t it be a piece of cake for such an existence to face an extreme emperor weapon? Thus, they were all in a state of observation and were not prepared to help. Now that Qin Chen saw that Supreme Sage Qin Tian had gotten himself involved, he could not help but smile bitterly. Great, now the Great Qin Dynasty was also dragged into this. Supreme Sage Qin Tian of the Great Qin Dynasty laughed, ¡°Minister, I will kill the enemy with you! This isn¡¯t just my thoughts, it¡¯s also the Imperial Lord¡¯s thoughts!¡± Qin Chen had saved the Great Qin Dynasty many times, and the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty was Qin Chen¡¯s ninth brother. How could he be ungrateful? If he watched Qin Chen die a tragic death at the hands of the terrifying existence in the Emperor Burial Abyss, he would probably never be able to forget it. He would live in guilt for the rest of his life. Back then, many of the ten thousand ancient races and the human race¡¯s Holy Lands and dynasties did not have any extreme emperor weapons. That was why the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss could be so arrogant. However, now that they had extreme emperor weapons and ancient imperial weapons, how many tricks could the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss play? Therefore, even though the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss were furious, they saw that the body which could regenerate after being destroyed was constantly dissipating. It seemed that the injury was not light, and the body was coughing out blood. ¡°No, this is impossible.¡± Facing the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword left behind by Emperor Shi and the innate sword embryo left behind by Chaotic Heavenly Emperor alone, even the terrifying existence below the realm of the Emperor Burial Abyss would not be able to destroy them in a short time. Furthermore, the clone was alone, so it was quickly crushed by the other party. The innate sword embryo and Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s Son of Heaven Sword were in a constant confrontation with the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. At this point, they wanted to kill the existence and trap it under the Emperor Burial Abyss forever. Right now, the various powers were also unable to determine the outcome. After all, the Emperor Burial Abyss was the home ground of those terrifying existences. This was the first time that so many experts had come to the Emperor Burial Abyss again after it had turned into a life-forbidden zone. Countless geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, as well as human cultivators, were shocked. They were only observing from the outside, but they could already feel the shockwaves from this battle. It was no less intense than the battle between the human race and the ten thousand ancient races back then. The battle was still going on, and at least two extreme emperor weapons were fighting against the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. At this moment, the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss also burst out with shocking power! When it clashed with Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian, the extreme emperor weapons in their hands trembled, but it was injured instead! ¡°Good, very good! I didn¡¯t expect the extreme emperor weapon left behind by Emperor Shi to be my enemy as well. Then let¡¯s see who is stronger!¡± All of a sudden, the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss, whose body was still constantly being destroyed, said fiercely. It performed a heaven-defying secret technique and stole a portion of power from the Heavenly Dao. Instantly, its realm broke through again, reaching the realm above the God realm! However, it was only temporary. It only barely managed to do so with this body. If it was its original body, it would definitely be more powerful than this. However, this was already the limit that this body could withstand. After this blow, it was likely that this body would completely dissipate, leaving nothing behind. This also included the power of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. Although it would cause a considerable backlash to itself, it was willing to pay the price and try, since it could kill Qin Chen this way. It might even be able to injure the innate sword embryo left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword left behind by Emperor Shi. If that was the case, it would be his profit. At this moment, the other terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss tried to dissuade the clone, ¡°Let¡¯s not fight anymore. If this goes on, I¡¯m afraid both sides will lose more than they gain. We¡¯ve been planning for thousands of years. We can¡¯t let it go to waste. It¡¯s not worth it to lose the life potential of the origin in advance!¡± But now that the arrow was nocked, it had no choice but to be released. Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian looked at each other and abruptly activated their respective weapons. Following this, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword then attacked the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss, which had temporarily surpassed the God realm! The innate sword embryo attacked as well! As the saying goes, the one who strikes first will gain the upper hand, and the one who strikes last will suffer the consequences. If they didn¡¯t act quickly, they were afraid something would happen to them immediately. At least for now, they could still take the initiative. The terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss were both shocked and angry. It had not expected that after it had broken through and was prepared to fight to the extreme, its opponent actually wanted to kill it first! This was simply unbearable. It immediately burst out with terrifying power, wanting to crush the other party ruthlessly. After all, this was the limit of the power that this body could bear. When it went all out all of a sudden, the extremely powerful fluctuations were earth-shattering as if the end of the world had come! At this moment, Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian activated their two extreme emperor weapons and unleashed a monstrous attack. They wanted to destroy the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. Otherwise, if this continued, it would lead to terrifying consequences. Qin Chen also laughed out loud. This time, they were destined to join forces and eliminate the clone of the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss. They couldn¡¯t let them continue to exist in the ten lands. The other talents from the ten thousand ancient race and the human race were all terrified. This was a battle that shook the heavens and the earth. They could not have imagined it. Why did such a huge conflict break out? The experts from the powerful races that came from the vast cosmic learned about this and immediately came to watch. ¡°No matter how powerful you are today, you will only be killed by our joint efforts!¡± Qin Chen roared, ¡°Die!¡± Chapter 284 - 284 Killing the Clone 284 Killing the Clone The shockwaves from the terrifying battle were enough to make even a God-realm expert feel fear. The others from the dynasties and Holy Lands, as well as the ancient princes of the ten thousand ancient races, all took out their extreme emperor weapons to protect themselves from the shockwaves. No one had expected that the human race¡¯s Elder King would actually dare to attack the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss and even try to kill it. Although this was only a clone of the other party, the other party¡¯s real body was watching from below. If they angered the other party, who knew what kind of terrifying incident would happen? At this point, they could only watch from the sidelines. At least, if they did not make a move, the flames of war would not reach them. ¡°How audacious!¡± The terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss roared. It did not expect that Qin Chen and a descendant of the Great Qin Dynasty would dare to attack it. Although it was only a clone, the clone carried his will. If this clone was destroyed, it would also suffer a backlash! This made all the existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss extremely angry. Qin Chen had already made up his mind. Since the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss wanted to fight with him, he would just suppress it. After all, if the existence hadn¡¯t attacked him, he wouldn¡¯t have made a move today either. Since the existence¡¯s moves were enough to threaten his life, it was understandable for Qin Chen to do such a thing under such circumstances. However, the other cultivators were still shocked. If the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss was really allowed to escape, what kind of great disaster would be brought about? Everyone knew that there were no records of the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. It had once fought with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and was considered an old monster. It thus had absolute strength. Since it could transfer its will to the Zilong Holy Land¡¯s Holy Son and raise the latter¡¯s cultivation realm to the peak of the God realm, it must have already surpassed such a realm. And now, Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian had completely offended this terrifying existence and wanted to kill its clone. A terrifying fluctuation burst out, and many places in the entire Emperor Burial Abyss were left with terrifying traces. Was this the power of a peak God-realm expert? When many saw this scene, they were scared out of their wits. It was just a clone, but it already had such overbearing strength. If the other party were to leave the Emperor Burial Abyss, it would probably be able to easily destroy the ten lands. The ten thousand ancient races and the human race would probably only be able to crawl and tremble at the feet of such an existence. However, Qin Chen was not afraid at all. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword recovered and burst out an unparalleled divine power. The emperor¡¯s might enveloped the peak God-realm clone. Qin Chen also activated the innate sword embryo, performing a terrifying scene of shattering void and thousands of evolving paths! Facing the two extreme emperor weapons, the peak God-realm clone finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and shattered into pieces. Its body turned into starlight and disappeared into the void, not even leaving a drop of blood behind. This was the terrifying power of two extreme emperor weapons. At this moment, the existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss burst out with shocking killing intent! It wanted to kill Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian of the Great Qin Dynasty! ¡°You two weaklings! How dare you kill one of my clones? You must be tired of living!¡± However, at this moment, another voice rang out and dissuaded, ¡°Enough! If this continues, a lot of our life potential will be wasted!¡± After that, the shocking killing intent slowly dissipated, but it left behind a ruthless sentence, ¡°Anyone who dares to enter the Emperor Burial Abyss will be killed without mercy. When I leave the Emperor Burial Abyss, that will be the time you two die. I will definitely settle those two damned weapons in the future too!¡± This voice was filled with might, and no one doubted that it did have such strength. The ancient princes and the other human cultivators from the Holy Lands and dynasties were all gasping for breath. The huge pressure just now had suppressed them so much that they couldn¡¯t move. It was as if a great emperor had reappeared. It was a pity that the existence was destined not to reach the realm of a great emperor. If it was really an existence comparable to an ancient great emperor, this mere Emperor Burial Abyss wouldn¡¯t have been able to trap it. After that, some left in a hurry. After all, the impact of today¡¯s incident was widespread. After all, a clone of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss had appeared, only to be later crushed by Qin Chen and Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s extreme emperor weapons. How could the other party not remember such a great enmity? Many could not help but feel fear. From now on, it was better to have less contact with the Great Qin Dynasty and the human race¡¯s Elder King. After all, if a catastrophe were to befall the two in the future, wouldn¡¯t they be implicated? Qin Chen did not care at all. Many figures gathered, all geniuses from the powerful cosmic races. The shocking fluctuation just now had truly shocked them. ¡°How could such a terrifying expert appear in the ten lands? It¡¯s probably just one step away from being on par with a great emperor.¡± ¡°To think such an existence is actually hiding in the ten lands. It seems like we need to keep a low profile in the future. Otherwise, if we cause trouble, we might die without even knowing why.¡± The monstrous geniuses from the powerful cosmic races nodded their heads heavily. Today¡¯s change in Emperor Burial Abyss made them realize that not everyone on the ten lands was weak. Even existences that were one step away from the great emperor realm were hidden in the ten lands. The path to becoming an emperor was filled with danger. If they were not careful, they would die without a burial place. The ancient princes were not weak either. They just lacked time to cultivate, so they hadn¡¯t unleashed their Supreme Sage power to the extreme. They still needed to cultivate diligently after the restoration of Heaven and Earth in order to catch up with the other geniuses. That being said, the powerful cosmic races did not have reserves left behind by their fathers like the ancient princes or descendants of the human race did. These descendants of the ten thousand ancient races and the human race who had extreme emperor weapons all had powerful ancient great emperors or ancient heavenly sovereigns as ancestors. Among them were even the eldest sons of great emperors who could dominate the universe. The talents of those people were not weak. If they had enough time, they might even be able to catch up to them. For a moment, these geniuses of the powerful cosmic races felt as if a huge rock had been placed on their hearts. They didn¡¯t know what they could do on the path to becoming an emperor to get a glimpse of the opportunity to become an emperor. After all, most of them were at level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. It would be extremely difficult for them to break through to the God realm. Even though they were from powerful cosmic races, they too needed a lot of opportunities to cultivate the God realm. Chapter 285 - 285 Heading to the Star Field 285 Heading to the Star Field Qin Chen had already returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. Countless humans regarded him as a role model. This time, he had actually destroyed the clone of a terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss. This was simply shocking and made countless humans feel excited. If the Elder King continued to cultivate like this, there was a fat chance he would become an emperor. If an emperor appeared in the human race, the other ten thousand ancient races would not stand a chance. Then, the human race would be able to rise. Even the ancient races of the ten thousand ancient races would have to bow their heads. Qin Chen had only cultivated for a few days when he heard the news. This news was brought back by a Supreme Sage. A Supreme Sage of the ten thousand ancient races had gone to a star field to break through. Unexpectedly, he saw a shocking scene. The star field was changing, and a planet within it was erupting with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might! Qin Chen thus suspected that there must be some inheritance left behind by an ancient great emperor on it. Anything that had the aura of an ancient great emperor was a treasure. Even if it was only at the place where the ancient great emperor once stood, it would be like obtaining a supreme treasure for Qin Chen. This piece of news had made him overjoyed. Many didn¡¯t believe this news. After all, it was too unbelievable. What kind of figure was an ancient great emperor? Even if it was the ancient heavenly sovereign realm, there were only a few people in the entire nine Heavens and ten lands who had reached that realm. The legends they had left behind were countless. If they were so flustered just because they had discovered a planet that contained the emperor¡¯s might in the extraterrestrial region, didn¡¯t that mean that any place with the emperor¡¯s might would be regarded as a treasure land? ¡°That¡¯s just making a big fuss. In my opinion, it¡¯s just a place where a great emperor once stopped. There¡¯s probably nothing worth paying attention to.¡± After hearing this news, not only ancient princes, but also the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races, human cultivators, and the geniuses of the powerful cosmic races were all ready to go to that star field to see what was going on. Such a huge piece of news naturally attracted countless people. There were people from all forces, afraid of missing out on something good. But even if there was an opportunity there, only one would ultimately get it. The others were destined to only be foil. Even so, there were still some busybodies who rushed to that star field, wanting to look into it as a memento. Qin Chen was also ready to set off. He took the extreme emperor weapon with him and left a clone to guard the Taiyi Holy Land. The ancient array that had been destroyed by the God-realm experts had also been repaired by the big black pot. This way, even if Qin Chen was not around, the ancient array would be able to hold on for a while and get a buffer. By then, Qin Chen¡¯s original body would¡¯ve known what had happened and rushed back. The big scorpion rubbed his palms in eagerness. He wanted to go with Qin Chen. After all, how could he be left out if there were benefits to be gained? He knew that the chances of obtaining treasures would be much higher if he followed Qin Chen. After that, Qin Chen changed his appearance and headed to the star field with the big scorpion. In the vast star field, countless nebulas were destroyed. It looked particularly beautiful, but the most unbearable thing in the cosmic was loneliness. It would take a lot of time to reach the star field. Even with Qin Chen¡¯s current strength as a Supreme Sage, it would take a very long time. As the saying goes, it was better to come at the right time than to come early. Along the way, Qin Chen also saw some cultivators who were of a lower realm than him, and they were also rushing there. Now that there was another gathering of heroes, God knows what kind of sparks would be ignited. When they arrived at the star field, someone on the way had spread bad news that the star field had undergone great changes. All the cultivators who had entered had been trapped inside before they could find the planet and could not come out at all. Qin Chen and big scorpion also heard the news. They were extremely shocked. How could such a thing happen? Could this be a trap? Did someone want someone to kill all the geniuses who went there? However, that emperor¡¯s might couldn¡¯t be faked, it was definitely there. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the big scorpion still set off for that star field. It took them a few days to finally arrive, and the star field was already in a state of constant chaos and changes. The flow of time here was also much longer than in other places. In other words, once they were trapped in it, it was very likely that they would be trapped for their entire lives. The big scorpion could not help but gasp, ¡°What the hell is this place? How can it be so terrifying?¡± Qin Chen looked into the distance and used his God-realm spiritual power to investigate. He did not expect to find a corpse not far away. It was a God-realm expert. He did not know if it was a God-realm expert from the ten thousand ancient races or one of the powerful cosmic races, but the latter¡¯s death was extremely tragic. The God-realm expert¡¯s entire body had been split into two, but his blood had not dried up and was still flowing as if he had just died. However, only those who were here knew that the time flow in this star field was very slow. Perhaps he had been dead for a long time, but due to the time flow, he looked like he had just died. Thinking of this, Qin Chen flew over with the big scorpion. After they flew over, they felt an intense discomfort in their bodies. The effects of the flow of time were indeed terrifying. The big scorpion nodded as he did not expect such a thing to happen either. The positions of the stars in the entire star field had changed. If they entered, it was very likely that they would not be able to find their way back. However, countless had already entered. Among them, there was definitely no lack of ancient princes and the monstrous geniuses of the powerful cosmic races. Qin Chen could not help but sigh, ¡°I wonder if they have found that planet. Have they taken the opportunity on it?¡± The big scorpion could not help but say to Qin Chen, ¡°Let¡¯s go in, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal.¡± ¡°After all, humans die for wealth while birds die for food,¡± Qin Chen¡¯s words made the big scorpion smile awkwardly. With that, they entered. This star field had completely changed. It was very different from the star field they had come to before. Even the races that had lived in this cosmic had lost their direction and were completely trapped here. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Both Qin Chen and the bid scorpion didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After all, they had seen the body of a God-realm expert, which showed that this star field was extremely dangerous. They had to be careful enough to survive. However, at this moment, the big scorpion discovered another Supreme Sage¡¯s body. He smiled and took away all the things on the other party¡¯s body. Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He only signaled the big scorpion to speed up. If they stayed here, they might miss the opportunity. They couldn¡¯t lose the greater for the less. The big scorpion quickly nodded and continued to move forward with Qin Chen. Not long after, they found that they seemed to be back in the same place! Chapter 286 - 286 Yuji 286 Yuji There were so many planets in front, but they simply couldn¡¯t reach them no matter how they traveled toward them! The surroundings seemed to be trapped in place as well. It felt as if they were trapped in an infinitely large place, and no matter how they ran, they just couldn¡¯t escape. The big scorpion was a little flustered. He asked, ¡°Elder King, do you have any way to get out of here?¡± Qin Chen was speechless. How could he possibly have a way out? This place was, after all, flooding with chaos. The entire star field had changed, and he did not know what kind of dangers there were. Even if he awakened his extreme emperor weapon, he would not dare to act rashly. If he did that and it triggered some kind of change again, wouldn¡¯t he be killed? He did not want to do such a fruitless thing, so he simply unleashed his God-realm spiritual power. He began to explore his surroundings. The flow of time in the surroundings was indeed slow. However, what Qin Chen found even stranger was that his spiritual power was unable to leave this place, just like his physical body. It was just strange. He had never heard of such a strange thing. The big scorpion panicked as well. He circulated his full power, and his Supreme Sagely was unleashed as he rushed forward. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was still beside Qin Chen. ¡°When did we get trapped here?¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t know. Perhaps it was after the big scorpion had picked up all the treasures from the Supreme Sage¡¯s body. Either way, they were trapped here. The entire star field was still slowly changing, and no one knew what would happen next. After an unknown amount of time, this chaotic star field finally returned to a slightly normal flow of time. Qin Chen seized the opportunity to rush out with the big scorpion. As soon as they did so, they saw a meteorite made of unknown material crash into where they had been standing. The speed of the meteorite did not slow down as it crashed down, then abruptly stopped in the air. It seemed like the flow of time in that area had become extremely slow. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had escaped. This star region was too terrifying. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with fear. If they had not managed to escape, they would have been trapped in their original spot and hit by the huge meteorite. The big scorpion hurriedly said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen nodded and continued the journey with the big scorpion. Unfortunately, there were fewer and fewer people behind them. They did not even see a corpse. There was not a single living creature on the road. Didn¡¯t they say that many races and human cultivators had come? Yet all this way, Qin Chen and the big scorpion had only seen the corpse of a God and a Supreme Sage. They didn¡¯t even see a living person. For an area where the flow of time was relatively slow, Qin Chen used his spiritual power to explore it. If his spiritual power stayed in the same place, it meant that the area was a place where the flow of time was chaotic. Strange scenes played out slowly. Sometimes, when Qin Chen and the big scorpion reached a point, they suddenly realized that they had walked a long distance in an instant. Sometimes, they had to walk for a long time before they could travel a short distance. If this went on, God knows when they would see the planet. Putting themselves in danger for such a piece of unknown news was obviously not worth it. Not far away, there seemed to be someone crying. They finally saw a living person! Qin Chen and the big scorpion looked over only to see a genius from a powerful cosmic race. She looked no different from a human, but there was a hint of crystal in the corner of her eye that was shaped like a tear. When the female cultivator saw Qin Chen and the big scorpion, she cried for help. However, she seemed to be trapped in the same place and could not move at all, just like how Qin Chen and the big scorpion were trapped before. The female cultivator begged for help, ¡°Save me, save me!¡± She had been trapped here just now, and her companions had long left her. Now, she was alone. The big scorpion really did not dare to go over. After all, if it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen, they might still be trapped where they had been and might have been killed by the meteorite. ¡°Who are you?¡± Qin Chen asked. The female cultivator replied, ¡°I¡¯m from a powerful cosmic race, the descendent of the ancient human.¡± Qin Chen frowned slightly, ¡°Could the ancient human be a bloodline left behind in the cosmic by the primordial era¡¯s human race when they were still enslaved by the ten thousand ancient races?¡± The female cultivator nodded. She also cultivated human cultivation techniques. It was a pity that all her companions had left her, leaving her alone and trapped here. She looked at Qin Chen, her eyes full of fear. It seemed that because of the arrival of Qin Chen and the big scorpion, there was a trace of hope in her desperate eyes. She knew that it was impossible for her to leave this place because the flow of time in this area was very slow. Once one stepped into it, it was basically impossible to escape. The big scorpion said, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s go. It won¡¯t be good if we get ourselves into trouble instead.¡± However, Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Then, he walked towards the female cultivator. The female cultivator did not expect Qin Chen to still dare to walk towards her. Then, Qin Chen also entered the area where the flow of time was slow. If he wanted to bring this female cultivator away, they would have to escape from the inside together. Now, all they could do now was wait. Qin Chen silently waited for the right time. Finally, the flow of time returned to normal. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used his God-realm spiritual power to sense the change and pulled the female cultivator out of the area immediately. When they rushed out, the female cultivator was still in disbelief. To think she had left that place. One must know that she had not been able to escape previously. Now that she was suddenly rescued, the feeling of having luckily survived a disaster was extremely strong. She was extremely glad that she had met the Elder King and the big scorpion. ¡°My name is Yuji. Thank you for saving me, Elder King!¡± This female cultivator clearly knew Qin Chen. After all, the latter was famous for killing many God-realm experts of the strong cosmic races. Not long ago, he had also killed the clone of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. This Elder King did not seem to be as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be. Chapter 287 - 287 Terrifying Energy 287 Terrifying Energy Qin Chen nodded, then continued to move forward. The big scorpion could not help but complain. They could have just left, but they had wasted so much time because of this female cultivator. God knows if that rumored planet had been found by others and if the opportunity was still there. Having been separated from her companions and being alone in this star field where danger and killing intent lurked everywhere, the female cultivator chose to follow the Elder King and the big scorpion. That way, even if they encountered anything, at least they could look out for each other. In this vast star field, the most lonely and boring thing was to keep moving forward. This female cultivator was very respectful of Qin Chen. Maybe because Qin Chen had killed too many people, but she did not talk much along the way and did not dare to disturb him. After that, the three of them spent another half a month before they finally arrived in front of a planet. The planet seemed to be flooding with a deathly aura, but the big scorpion couldn¡¯t care less. He could already see an ancient residence left behind by a cultivator on the planet! God knows how many years it had been there, but it had actually appeared at this moment when the entire star field was changing. The big scorpion saw this as a huge profit and quickly flew to the planet. It didn¡¯t take long for the big scorpion to open the ancient residence on the planet. In the end, he only found some spirit stones. The spirit stones did contain spiritual energy, but they had obviously been refined. The spiritual energy in the spirit stone was gone, but the big scorpion didn¡¯t give up. He continued to search and found an ancient cultivation technique. Yet, before he could open it, the piece of paper turned to dust the moment his hands touched it. At the same time, there was also a weapon of unknown grade. It had also become a scrap metal, the kind that would break even if it was used to cut people. The big scorpion cried out in disbelief and felt pity for his misfortune. He left the planet and returned to Qin Chen¡¯s side. The latter saw that the big scorpion had not found anything. This should be a residence left behind by an ancient cultivator from the primordial era. Unfortunately, the ancient cultivator had passed away and even the traces he had left behind had slowly disappeared with time. After that, Qin Chen continued to move forward with the big scorpion and the female cultivator. The female cultivator¡¯s realm was higher than Qin Chen¡¯s. She was already an expert at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm, but she did not dare to show any disrespect to the latter. Although Qin Chen was two small realms lower than her, he was a peerless genius. Even a level 9 Supreme Sage expert was not his match. All of a sudden, there seemed to be a buzzing sound. The big scorpion immediately became alert. He used his spiritual will to check the surroundings, but he found nothing. Only Qin Chen was frowning, ¡°Let¡¯s go and hide!¡± In this chaotic star field, there were many strange cosmic races. Qin Chen and the others hid on a huge meteorite and concealed their auras with an array. Not long after, a large group of living beings rushed out like a black tide! Their numbers were dense! All of them were terrifying levels 8 and 9 Supreme Sage-realm creatures! Wherever they went, everything was destroyed. The female cultivator recognized those creatures with a cry of surprise, ¡°These are black ants! These black ants are a common race in the cosmic. They¡¯re extremely powerful and have extremely fast reflexes. Wherever they go, even God-realm experts don¡¯t dare to face them head-on. They can only avoid them. It¡¯s said that there was once a God-realm expert who fought with them. In the end, he was gnawed by the group of level 9 Supreme Sage black ants until only his skeleton was left. After that, his skeleton disappeared into the world like ashes.¡± It was best not to provoke such terrifying creatures! The big scorpion was also covered in a cold sweat. He had never heard of such a terrifying existence. It seemed that the races in the vast cosmic could not be underestimated. They wanted until the swarm of black ants finally left. Only then did Qin Chen and the others dare to come out. After all, these black ants were too powerful. In this place, Qin Chen did not dare to use his extreme emperor weapon. If he did, he might trigger another change in this star field. If that happened, it would bring unimaginable danger. Therefore, Qin Chen could only avoid the black ants. After another unknown length of time, Qin Chen and the others finally arrived in front of a planet. There were indeed other people on this planet, all of whom were Supreme Sages. Half of them were powerful geniuses from the extraterrestrial region. Some of the geniuses of the powerful cosmic races were like Yuji, the descendants of the ancient human in the cosmic. When they saw that Yuji had arrived, they were surprised. ¡°How did Yuji come here? Shouldn¡¯t she be trapped there?¡± ¡°Could it be that the person beside her saved her?¡± When these people looked at Qin Chen, they suddenly realized that the person who was covered in the chaotic light was the Elder King of the human race. They immediately perspired from nervousness. That was someone who was so freakish that he had even attracted heavenly tribulation when he broke through a small realm. They had never thought that it would be Qin Chen who saved Yuji. Yuji looked at those people with a cold expression. These companions had abandoned her before. Back then, she was so desperate that she thought she would be stuck there forever, and die of old age in that place where time flowed slowly. The feeling of being abandoned made her feel extremely hopeless, to the point that her personality changed greatly. Her clansmen wanted to get her to go over, but she had no intention of doing so. She just followed Qin Chen. Qin Chen could guess the reason why Yuji did not go over. Apart from those monstrous geniuses of the powerful cosmic races, there were also some geniuses from the ten thousand ancient races. However, the ancient princes and the others were not around. Even the human cultivators were not here, which surprised Qin Chen. But at least he saw some living creatures. This vast star field was constantly changing, and danger was lurking everywhere. It was not easy to see living creatures. Then, Qin Chen walked over, only to find that these people did not dare to move on the planet. For some unknown reason, the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races and the monstrous geniuses of the powerful cosmic races also looked at Qin Chen. They were filled with fear. A person¡¯s reputation was like the shadow of a tree. It was already evident how powerful Qin Chen was. After all, he even dared to kill the clone of the terrifying existence below the Emperor Burial Abyss. What else did he not dare to do? If they were to offend the human Elder King, they would probably all die on this planet. Someone reminded him, ¡°Human Elder King, there is a lot of terrifying energy near this star. The only place that is safe is this planet.¡± Chapter 288 - 288 Black Hole 288 Black Hole Qin Chen was a little confused. He, Yuji, and the big scorpion did not seem to have encountered any of the so-called ¡°energy¡± on their way here. Nothing had happened, not even a fart. However, seeing that these people were obediently staying on the planet caused Qin Chen to hesitate. Suddenly, he felt the space behind him bend. An ominous feeling rose in his heart, and he quickly took a step back. With that, he discovered that a spatial crack had appeared where he had been standing just now. Some kind of power had arrived silently and torn the space apart. Was this the ¡°energy¡± that these people were afraid of? Such an unfathomable ¡°energy¡± made the others on the planet nervous. They had experienced it before, and some of their companions had even died due to it. Qin Chen hurriedly brought Yuji and the big scorpion to the planet. It was just as these people had said, only on this planet was it safe. The energy was too strange. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help sighing in his heart. If he had been hit just now, his body would have been torn into pieces. The big scorpion and Yuji were also scared. No one had thought that such a strange and overbearing energy would exist in this place. Qin Chen looked at the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races and asked, ¡°Where are the ancient princes? Why aren¡¯t they here?¡± The ancient princes were the most respected uncrowned Kings among the far ancient imperial clans. The remaining members of the ten thousand races simply said, ¡°The ancient princes have left this place with their extreme emperor weapons.¡± Qin Chen nodded. So, he could block this strange power with an extreme emperor weapon? When he took out the innate sword embryo, the people around him gasped in surprise. They did not expect the Elder King to have brought his extreme emperor weapon with him. Then, Qin Chen activated the weapon. Bursts of the emperor¡¯s might erupted. Following this, he left with Yuji and the big scorpion while everyone was still in shock. One of Yuji¡¯s clansmen couldn¡¯t help but ask loudly, ¡°Didn¡¯t Yuji betray us?¡± ¡°She betrayed her race! She deserves to die!¡± Qin Chen, who was not far away, heard those words. He looked at Yuji and saw that her expression was extremely ugly. They were the ones who had abandoned her, but now they were blaming her. Qin Chen said slowly, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, you¡¯d better watch your mouth.¡± Yuji¡¯s clansmen immediately realized that they seemed to have offended the Elder King of the human race, so they quickly apologized. They could only smile apologetically as they watched Qin Chen and the others leave. On the way, Yuji didn¡¯t have any emotional fluctuations towards her companions, only a feeling of disgust. She then looked at the Elder King, ¡°Elder King, can I follow you? ¡± Qin Chen laughed, ¡°Why do you want to follow me? Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t want to return to your race?¡± Yuji nodded and continued, ¡°I was born an orphan and didn¡¯t have any friends or family. That¡¯s why my companions were willing to abandon me.¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of empathy. Back then, he had wandered in the Demon Emperor Tomb alone for God knows how long before he reached the Supreme Sage realm. If he hadn¡¯t met Qin Chen, he would have stayed there for the rest of his life. The big scorpion empathized with the situation. Qin Chen also agreed to let Yuji stay by his side. The three of them continued on their way. With the terrifying power of the extreme emperor weapon, the strange energy did not dare to get any closer, so they did not encounter any attacks along the way. Then, they slowly walked to a place not far away. The place was like a void where they couldn¡¯t see anything and couldn¡¯t gauge distance. Yuji¡¯s expression changed drastically as if she had suddenly thought of something. She said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s a black hole ahead. Let¡¯s get out of the way!¡± ¡°A black hole?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed as well. Since Yuji was able to cultivate to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm in the vast cosmic, she was extremely talented and most definitely had some life-saving skills to survive until now. Since she could recognize that there was a black hole in front of them, Qin Chen had to use his extreme emperor weapon to take them away immediately. The innate sword embryo showed a hint of resistance. It was obvious that there was an attractive force in front of them that was constantly pulling them. No one knew what would happen if they were sucked into the black hole. It was said that the black hole could destroy all matter. Even the ancient great emperors didn¡¯t dare to get close to it. They could only use their strength to destroy it. This black hole was probably the most terrifying thing in the entire starry sky. Once one was pulled in by the gravitational force, one would not be able to break free and would eventually be sucked in. The feeling of waiting for death was too despairing. With that, Qin Chen immediately activated his extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, and brought them away. Fortunately, they were still quite far away from the black hole, so even the suction force from the void did not manage to pull them in. The big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but feel a wave of fear after he realized how terrifying the black hole was. His back was drenched. To think he had almost died due to the black hole. The star field had changed. This black hole shouldn¡¯t have always been here. It was very likely that the space had been distorted and it was thus moved here. God knows what had happened to the star field that had caused it to become like this. The entire star field had changed. This kind of great terror was simply unheard of. A star field was almost fixed from the moment it was born, and there would be almost no changes, but now this star field had undergone such a great change. Didn¡¯t this mean that it was related to the change in the planet and the emperor¡¯s might it produced? ¡°It can¡¯t be that there¡¯s a great emperor buried on that planet, right?¡± According to ancient records, there were only so many famous great emperors in history. Which great emperor had died there? Only the death of a great emperor could bring about such a great change. The big scorpion was extremely excited at the thought of this. The more this was the case, the more it explained how amazing the opportunities on the planet were. The black hole remained in place. It would only reveal its position when it was devouring matter. If they didn¡¯t notice it, they would probably die when they finally did. Yuji¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but beat wildly. Her pretty face was flushed, and it took her great effort to calm down. Qin Chen continued to activate his innate sword embryo and left with the big scorpion and Yuji. Qin Chen did not know where the ancient princes had gone. He could not let them get the opportunity on the planet first. Chapter 289 - 289 Great Terror 289 Great Terror After Qin Chen left, they traveled and arrived not far away, where many places still had a slow flow of time. Therefore, Qin Chen finally put away his innate sword embryo and used his spiritual will to explore the way ahead. Yuji and the big scorpion followed Qin Chen silently. After a while, they found another planet. There seemed to be living beings on this planet! When Qin Chen and the other two descended, they discovered that there was an ancient race on this planet. However, the ancient race¡¯s cultivation was too weak, so they could only struggle to survive on this planet. The elder among the race looked at the three foreign races with hostility. The big scorpion had no intention of searching for treasures here because this place was too weak. It was even weaker than a human sect. The race here looked like crocodiles, but they could speak human language. Just as Qin Chen was about to leave, he found a broken remnant of a weapon. The remnant was from a weapon that was at least of the quasi-emperor grade. Qin Chen immediately understood that the race on the planet must have had an extraordinary origin. The appearance of a quasi-emperor-grade weapon meant that there had been at least one quasi-emperor here. Unfortunately, as time passed, the race had withered away. Qin Chen then left with Yuji and the big scorpion. In the vast cosmic, there were many hidden dangers. Terrifying existences hid in the dark, waiting for prey to fall into a trap before killing them in one strike. Qin Chen and the others traveled at a very slow speed, as they had to use their spiritual wills to check if there were any areas with abnormal time flow. The only main color in the entire sea of stars was black. Only this star field had changed, and the changes didn¡¯t seem to have stopped either, which meant that it was still changing. Yuji was curious as to why the human Elder King was so powerful that even their monstrous talents couldn¡¯t compare. Along the way, Qin Chen didn¡¯t really talk to her. The big scorpion was doubting his life at this point because it had been a long time since he had encountered a treasure. Suddenly, a terrifying aura came. Amid the desolation, they seemed to have seen something awaken and quickly approach them. Qin Chen made a prompt decision and took the other two to hide on a meteorite nearby. He did not dare to make any noise. This was because he had sensed an aura of the purest yin. This kind of aura represented death in the cosmic. Yuji had once sensed the same aura on a planet that had been slaughtered. The aura represented death, and it was like a sickle that harvested the vitality of all living creatures. Then, the owner of this aura appeared. What entered the eyes of Qin Chen and the other two were seven ghosts. The seven ghosts seemed to be carrying something, but Qin Chen and the others could not see what it was. These seven mysterious ghosts were all in the God realm. Qin Chen could not help but gasp. What kind of existence could make seven ghosts in the God realm work in their place? The seven mysterious ghosts didn¡¯t seem to have any spiritual wisdom. They simply moved into the distance, wandering around the star field. It was easy to imagine how miserable the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races and Yuji¡¯s clansmen would be if they didn¡¯t escape. Qin Chen and the rest could only watch as the seven mysterious ghosts left. God knows how many souls of innocent lives the latter had harvested along the way. Even with an extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen did not dare to come into contact with such an existence. ¡°Fire! Fire! Fire!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes widened as he looked ahead. He was in disbelief because at the furthest end of the star field, a flame had appeared. The flame was growing as if it was going to burn the entire star field! However, on the other side, a planet was shining and seemed to be emitting a terrifying aura! Not far from the moon, a peerless Supreme Sage was laughing madly. His skin was grayish-white and he looked like he had been long dead. However, at this moment, his eyes were open as he laughed non-stop. Holding a long spear, he ran into the distance! Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this star field was changing again? Why were there so many terrifying images at the same time? With that, he didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and left with the big scorpion and Yuji. Yuji and the big scorpion¡¯s hearts were also beating wildly. A flame that could set the entire star field on fire must be terrifying. There was also that shining planet, which seemed to be filled with endless secrets. The entire star field was in chaos. One had to know that countless existences were slumbering in the cosmic. The cosmic was desolate, but it was also the home of those terrifying existences. Now that all these strange phenomena had appeared, it was enough to indicate that a storm that would set off the entire cosmic was coming. And the source of all this was because a Supreme Sage had witnessed the emperor¡¯s might being emitted from a planet. Could it be that an ancient great emperor was about to be revived? The big scorpion was extremely nervous. If that kind of existence was resurrected, even if the person only had half of his power compared to back when he was alive, it would be enough for him to sweep through the heavens and make all the living creatures in the entire cosmic grovel at its feet. If that happened, why did they still have to search for treasures? They might even lose their lives. Yuji couldn¡¯t believe it either. The changes in the star field happened in an instant. She had lived in this cosmic since she was young, but she did not expect such a terrifying change to happen. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know why things had taken a turn and developed in such a direction. The peerless Supreme Sage beside the moon that they had just seen was now charging toward them with a long spear in his hand as he roared, ¡°Nothing can stop my revenge!¡± After that, the Supreme Sage¡¯s aura skyrocketed, and he leaped from level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm to the God realm! How terrifying would a God-level expert be? Furthermore, he was such a mighty figure. The long spear in his hand seemed to be filled with endless anger. His entire body turned into a long spear and pierced through the cosmic! It was a pity that he seemed to be just an illusion. When he was about to reach Qin Chen and the others, a crack appeared. This crack was like a timely rain as it sucked the God in. No one knew where the other party went. Just now, Qin Chen almost couldn¡¯t help but attack because the feeling was too real. It was as if the God expert had really attacked them. They had just witnessed the shocking scene of a peerless Supreme Sage breaking through. There were really countless strange things in this cosmic. In the past, Qin Chen would not have believed that such an existence existed in the vast cosmic. However, he had no choice but to believe it now. There were terrifying existences in the vast cosmic! It made people feel fear. Chapter 290 - 290 The Ancient Buddhism Star 290 The Ancient Buddhism Star ¡°It seems like the cosmic is even more terrifying than I imagined,¡± Something in Qin Chen¡¯s heart seemed to have changed. If it was really an ancient great emperor that had been revived, that would truly be heaven-defying. For an ancient great emperor to be able to live a second life, there would probably be no one in this era who could become a great emperor. This news was simply too shocking. Countless monstrous geniuses and talents all wanted to fight for the opportunity to become an emperor. But if an ancient great emperor were to be resurrected in this era, defying the heavens and living a second life, no one would be able to become an emperor this era. After all, there had only been one who could become an emperor in one era since ancient times. There were countless lives in the vast cosmic. Some were still alive, while some had disappeared in the long river of history. Time was the rule that represented everything. Every living creature had a lifespan. When one¡¯s time was over, one would turn into ashes and return to the world. As for monstrous geniuses like Yuji, who came from powerful cosmic races, they had been instilled with the belief that they were born in the cosmic and would thus die in the cosmic, returning to their roots. Even if they died anywhere in the cosmic, they could still feel the peace of mind of returning to their origin. An ancient planet appeared in front of them. This ancient planet was actually filled with countless ruins. With a single glance, there was no sign of life. It was another place that had appeared due to the changes in the star field. It was unknown how many years it had been since anyone had set foot in or discovered this place. The big scorpion was the first to rush toward the ancient planet. There were countless ruins on the ancient planet, and it was covered in yellow soil. It looked like a mirage, but it was a real existence. The dilapidated buildings still seemed to have mottled colors, which had become very faint, as if they were about to fade. No one dared to doubt that this place used to be one of the most powerful places in the entire cosmic. Unfortunately, it was now a dead planet. The inner core of the ancient planet had been exhausted of energy. What awaited it was only the destruction and dispersion of the remaining energy over the years until the cosmic core disappeared from the world. The big scorpion¡¯s face showed surprise because he saw a tree. Qin Chen happened to recognize this tree. It was a Bodhi tree. There was a line of words on the Bodhi tree, but it was written in the Buddhist text, so none of the three could understand it. Qin Chen said slowly, ¡°It seems that this is an ancient plant of a Buddhist sect. It¡¯s a pity that there is no longer any life on this ancient planet. Perhaps this place was once a Buddhist Kingdom.¡± There should be something else left on the ancient planet. The big scorpion was not willing to give up. He began to search the dead planet. Being a level 5 demonic Supreme Sage, he managed to find a round bowl that seemed to be a magic item used by monks from his efforts in searching. Unfortunately, the magic item no longer had any divine power, seemingly unable to resist the erosion of time. Now that it had lost all its divine power, it was just an ordinary item. Seeing that the item was useless, the big scorpion threw it on the ground and continued to search. Qin Chen picked up a skull from the ground. It seemed to have been left behind by a Buddhist cultivator. The skull was white and there was a hole in it. It seemed as if something had pierced through his head and killed him. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t believe it. How could such a huge battle happen in a place that could turn an ancient planet into a Buddhist Kingdom? Was it so intense that it had destroyed an ancient planet? The truth of the past could no longer be known. After life came death, and this continued the cycle of reincarnation. It was a pity that the reincarnation of this Buddhist Kingdom had ended, and only the souls of those who had died in the past remained. Qin Chen felt a faint fluctuation. It was actually a fragment of consciousness. Unfortunately, there was only a very small part of consciousness left. Qin Chen refined it and saw an image. This image only lasted for a split second. It was the scene of the entire ancient planet being eroded by countless darkness! Even this Buddhist Kingdom couldn¡¯t resist it. When the scene ended, Qin Chen felt as if he had experienced it himself. Yuji, on the other hand, was a little worried, ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any more danger on this dead planet, right?¡± The big scorpion had been searching for treasures. He couldn¡¯t let anything go. He found a Buddha bead, but it was a pity that there was only one left. If there were countless beads, he could string them into a bracelet and make a Buddhist magic item. Unfortunately, this thing seemed to be useless. With only one bead, the fluctuation it emitted was minimal. The big scorpion sighed and chanted, ¡°Namo Amitabha.¡± He placed the bead on the ground and continued to search. He finally arrived above the ruins and he wondered what was buried underneath. With that, he conjured a pair of huge pincers and dug through the ruins, only to find a mysterious piece of bronze! The bronze was covered in rust and seemed to be stained with the blood of some existence. It emitted a terrifying pressure, which made the big scorpion cry out in alarm! Qin Chen and Yuji rushed over. When they saw the bronze piece, they frowned. For it to be able to withstand such terrifying pressure even after so many years, it must have killed an incredible existence. It was very likely that it was an existence comparable to a quasi-emperor. Then, Qin Chen also joined in the excavation. They found a few more pieces of bronze. When these bronze pieces were pieced together, they seemed to form a bronze sword. Unfortunately, the tip of the bronze sword was missing. No matter how they searched, they could not find it. After the bronze pieces were pieced together, they automatically came back together. Unfortunately, there were no fluctuations in it, and even the mysterious patterns were worn out, leaving only a trace. It was because of this trace of residue that the bronze sword managed to connect again. Qin Chen took the bronze sword and felt a little emotional. This bronze sword should not be an item of the Buddhist sect. As for why it appeared here, it was somewhat intriguing. Perhaps an incredible existence from the scene he had just seen of the endless darkness eroding the ancient planet who had brought the sword here. The bronze sword looked like the weapons made by some ancient families in the ten lands. It was very likely that it was made in the primordial era. Someone qualified to use this bronze sword was probably an impressive figure. Qin Chen could imagine a great figure killing another great figure with the bronze sword. Then, the bronze sword shattered into pieces, and the tip of the sword went missing. If he could find the tip of the bronze sword, he might be able to obtain another treasure that was not weaker than the Desolate Divine Halberd. The Desolate Divine Halberd was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon, and this bronze sword should also be a quasi-emperor-grade weapon at its peak, or even stronger than the Desolate Divine Halberd. The big scorpion looked at the bronze sword that had lost its tip and felt helpless. Why was it that he had only found some scrap metal on the ancient planet? There was nothing useful at all. Since the big scorpion did not want it, Qin Chen kept the bronze sword. The material of the bronze sword was special, and it was stained with the blood of an unknown existence, giving off a terrifying pressure. Perhaps in the future, he would be able to find the tip of the sword. Chapter 291 - 291 The Demon Reappears 291 The Demon Reappears In the vast cosmic, this ancient planet was nothing, especially when it was dead silent. The entire ancient planet had become a dead planet. At this moment, the big scorpion suddenly sensed a wisp of killing intent! He looked around in a hurry, but he saw nothing. The wisp of killing intent had appeared too suddenly. In a snap of his fingers, it was gone, but he had clearly felt it. Qin Chen was puzzled by the bid scorpion¡¯s sudden flustered look, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid this place is strange. I sensed a trace of killing intent just now.¡± Qin Chen looked at the big scorpion and saw that he was in no mood for jokes. Could it be that there were still some dangers on this dead planet? However, there were no living beings on this ancient planet. What could it be? Could it be that they were not the first batch of living beings to come to this ancient planet, and someone else was already here? The big scorpion was on high alert. Before Qin Chen and the others could react, a deafening Buddhist sound rang out from the ruins! ¡°Shit!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could it be here laid the things left behind by those Buddhist experts? After countless years, even the most powerful magic items had become ordinary. How could there still be any remaining items here? Even if there was, it should have long lost its effect and would not be able to play its role. The big scorpion was alert like a cat that had its tail stepped on. It transformed into its original form, a huge scorpion with strong pincers, careful against anything that might appear in the surroundings. Qin Chen held his extreme emperor weapon, and he vigilantly scanned the surroundings with his spiritual will. Yuji also took out her long sword, ready for battle. It was a pity that the Buddhist sound only sounded for a while and then fell silent. It was as if there hadn¡¯t been any sound just now and all of it was just an illusion. However, the three of them had clearly heard it. This could not be explained by an illusion. ¡°There¡¯s probably something we haven¡¯t discovered on this ancient planet,¡± The big scorpion looked down at the ruins. The strange happening just now was due to them digging through the ruins and finding the bronze sword. Therefore, if they wanted to find the root of the problem, they had to uncover the bottom of the ruins as well. Only then would they be able to find the true answer. He looked at Qin Chen, who nodded. The big scorpion gritted his teeth and raised his divine pincers, smashing them into the ruins. There was a thud as if it had hit something. Qin Chen quickly looked over, and Yuji also came over. It seemed that the big scorpion had smashed a big hole in the ground, and there was a whole new world down there. The three were shocked. The big scorpion turned back into his human form and looked down. God knows what was under the ruins, but the Buddhist sound must have come from below. Since that was the case, there might be some unknown danger down there. Therefore, the big scorpion did not dare to rush in front anymore. Following this, Qin Chen jumped down with his extreme emperor weapon, followed by Yuji, and lastly the big scorpion. When the three went down, they discovered that in the hole was a stone door. Buddhist scriptures were densely written on the door, and it was even shining with golden light. The deafening Buddhist sound that they had heard earlier must have come from this place. ¡°Oh my God,¡± The big scorpion looked at the Buddhist text engraved on the stone door and exclaimed. This was peerless Buddhist dharma! Anything that could be preserved in this place was definitely no ordinary item since it had existed even after countless years. The fact that Buddhist sounds had chimed heard was enough to prove how extraordinary the Buddhist dharma recorded on the door was! Qin Chen looked at the Buddhist dharma on the stone door. It was obscure and difficult to understand. He wondered what kind of peerless monk could have created it. Unfortunately, they were all mortals who could not cultivate the secret dharma of the Buddhist sect. Useless things were of little value to them. The majestic Buddha sounds penetrated Heaven and Earth, shaking the firmament. It was as if everyone had received the baptism of the true Buddha, and their hearts were purified. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Qin Chen was suddenly a little puzzled. The Buddhist sound had just disappeared, but it suddenly rang out again at this moment. It seemed to send out some signal, guiding Qin Chen and the others. Then, they looked at the wall. The Buddhist light on the wall was still shining, and behind it, something heavy seemed to be hitting the wall, making ¡°bang¡± sounds repeatedly. It was just that the Buddhist sound had been too loud, so they couldn¡¯t hear the bangs until now. They could only hear it when they were closer. The big scorpion cried out in surprise, ¡°I know! The scriptures recorded on this wall are not for cultivation, but for suppressing and sealing.¡± ¡°Suppressing and sealing?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed. To think there was something that needed to be sealed on this ancient planet. Didn¡¯t that mean that the Buddhist Kingdom with countless celestial pavilions in the past had something it had to suppress under the palaces and pavilions? It was only through this stone door engraved with Buddhist dharma that whatever they were sealing was sealed and suppressed. How terrifying would that existence be? And now, God knows how many years had passed, but the existence that was being suppressed by the seal had not been obliterated. The sounds seemed to be filled with endless hatred. Whatever the existence was, it did not feel remorse for its actions by being suppressed here. Instead, it felt even more hatred. There was probably an incredibly great demon being suppressed here! Buddhism had always suppressed demons and ghosts only. If the existence wasn¡¯t a ghost, then it could only be a demon. There were not many in the world that could be called demons. The real demons had long disappeared like the ancient gods who had created the beginning of the world. Such divine existences were born to bring chaos and misfortune to the world. And right now, there seemed to be a demon suppressed under this ancient planet. Otherwise, how could it be sealed in such an important place? This place could be said to be the forbidden area of the Buddhist Kingdom. To reach this place, one had to descend above the pavilions and pagodas of the Buddhist Kingdom. It was clear how much importance the Buddhist Kingdom placed on the thing suppressed under the seal. They were afraid that the existence would accidentally escape and bring disaster to the common people. And now, with the passage of time, the day the existence had been waiting for had finally arrived. The Buddhist dharma shone brightly, and the sounds of the Great Path were emitted. It was as if the seal could not hold on any longer! Qin Chen and the others were shocked. If they couldn¡¯t stop it and that existence came out, what should they do? Then, Qin Chen thought of himself. With an extreme emperor weapon in his hand, he need not be as afraid as before. An extreme emperor weapon was the weapon of an ancient great emperor, who could suppress the nine Heavens and the ten lands, as well as be invincible in the heavenly court and the netherworld. Such a great existence would be worshipped by thousands of races in the Heavens! Chapter 292 - 292 the God Shows His Emperors Might 292 the God Shows His Emperor¡¯s Might How could the weapon the ancient great emperor left behind not even be able to deal with a demon? Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen revived it and poured his divine power into it, which made the weapon emit a shocking fluctuation! The sound from behind the wall that was engraved with Buddhist dharma grew increasingly louder as if the area below was about to collapse. In the end, a hand broke the wall, and the demon emerged. The hand was black and exuded a strong aura of death. Scales covered the demon, and he simply didn¡¯t look like a good person. Moreover, he was actually at the peak of the God realm! Qin Chen and the big scorpion cried out in alarm. Back in the Emperor Burial Abyss, they had fought together and had only managed to kill the clone of the terrifying existence with great difficulty. Now, another peak God-realm demon had appeared! At most, Qin Chen could only fight the other party to a draw with his extreme emperor weapon. After all, he had not broken through to the God realm yet. He would only be able to use his power to kill the demon directly if he had. The demon seemed to have stopped. No changes happened as his hand froze as if he had died just like that. Following this, there was a loud bang! The wall with the Buddhist dharma cracked open. The reverberating Buddhism sounds died down. This meant that the final seal had disappeared! The demon behind the wall slowly walked out from the dust. His body seemed to be filled with a strong aura of death. There was no emotion in his eyes, only endless killing intent. This demon was born from Heaven and Earth and could be considered the creature with the most spiritual wisdom in the world. Unfortunately, he was born to bring inauspiciousness to all living beings and plunge the entire land into misery and suffering. God knows what abilities the Buddhist sect of the Buddhist Kingdom had to capture this demon and seal him on the planet. Countless years had passed, but the demon was still alive. From this, one could see how powerful he was back then. The demon spoke the ancient language as if it didn¡¯t know the current language. Yuji understood the general idea of the ancient words he said. She had, after all, lived in the vast cosmic all her life, so she naturally knew the ancient language. What the demon said was that he had finally come out, but he didn¡¯t expect that his strength would be so weak that he was only at the peak of the God realm. When Yuji translated his words, Qin Chen and the big scorpion¡¯s expressions changed drastically. They didn¡¯t expect this demon to be a terrifying existence on par with those below the Emperor Burial Abyss. If the other party was at his peak, he would probably be no different from the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss. There were many patterns on the demon¡¯s body and two horns on his head. He had four eyes, and his huge mouth was actually made up of countless sharp teeth. When he spoke the ancient language again, Yuji translated, ¡°I don¡¯t remember how long it has been since I last ate. I never expected that I would be able to see you guys the moment I came out. It just so happens that I can eat you to recover some of my strength.¡± Qin Chen roared in anger. To think the other party was treating them as food to replenish his energy. With that, the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand awakened, turning into a terrifying wave that suppressed the demon. However, the demon only smiled and said a few words in the ancient language. Yuji said, ¡°This demon is saying that he had once fought with an ancient great emperor. However, he never thought that he would be able to see the weapon of an ancient great emperor after he broke the seal.¡± The demon could guess that the ancient great emperor was no longer in this world. Otherwise, the latter wouldn¡¯t have left his weapon behind. Following this, he wanted to kill Qin Chen and the other two. The big scorpion¡¯s heart was filled with endless fear. The aura of the demon was too terrifying, and he was still recovering. He had just been freed. If he was given more time, he might be able to recover to the realm above the God realm. Once he did so, even if Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon, it would be useless because Qin Chen could not unleash the full power of the extreme emperor weapon. After all, he was only a Supreme Sage and had not broken through to the God realm. When faced with an existence above the God realm, it was possible that he would just be killed directly. ¡°Elder King, hurry up and make a move! We can¡¯t drag this on any longer!¡± The big scorpion roared. He knew that if this continued, the terrifying demon would be able to recover more of his strength. At that time, death would be inevitable. Thinking of this as well, Qin Chen let out a furious roar. He no longer held back and used all his strength to awaken the weapon God within the innate sword embryo. A terrifying aura soared into the sky and an imposing figure appeared in front of the demon. The emperor¡¯s might exuded by the imposing man seemed to have locked onto the demon through the distant river of time, wanting to destroy the latter. The demon was terrified. He did not expect the owner of the weapon to be so powerful. He was born as a demon and had fought with ancient great emperors before. Unfortunately, he did not know who the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was. After the innate sword embryo¡¯s God was awakened, it launched a terrifying attack. It was as if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had reappeared on the ancient planet. The moment the weapon God made a move, the ancient planet trembled as if it couldn¡¯t withstand the terrifying power. The demon roared in anger. He did not want to be killed right after he broke through the seal. With that, he burned his life origin, and his strength broke through above the God realm. Even so, he was only able to fight evenly with the awakened innate sword embryo. The Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, who was transformed from the innate sword embryo, immediately released an invisible force to suppress the demon. The demon was not willing to give up. His hands turned into huge palms to withstand the terrifying power. However, the power released by the weapon God was like the five-fingered palm of the man who had suppressed him countless years ago. It slammed him into the ground again. After the attack, the demon lay flat in the pit. The weapon God didn¡¯t stop because it knew that the demon wasn¡¯t dead. The latter coughed out blood, a huge part of the little amount of blood left in his body. Being trapped here for a long time, the demon¡¯s cultivation had fallen to an extremely weak state. If he did not devour flesh and blood to restore his vitality soon, he would gradually die. He had thought that he could break free from the seal and return to his peak, but he did not expect this. Before he could even achieve his aims, he was struck into the pit by this terrifying God of the extreme emperor weapon. Seeing that the great demon was heavily injured, the weapon God in the innate sword embryo attacked once again, wanting to kill him. Neither had used their full strength, but the innate sword embryo was obviously stronger because the demon was about to be defeated. Chapter 293 - 293 The Trembling Bronze Sword 293 The Trembling Bronze Sword The demon roared and attacked the innate sword embryo¡¯s weapon God again. In the end, he chose to degenerate and turn into traces of ominous power, which faded into the vast universe. A trace of his consciousness hid in the power. If he did not die in the future, he would definitely be able to revive again. It was not a move the demon would have chosen to use unless he had no other choice. After seeing the great demon degenerating, Qin Chen felt a little regretful. After all, although the demon¡¯s vitality had been greatly damaged, he had still managed to escape with his life. God knows how long it would take for him to recover, though obviously, it would be many years later. At this point, Qin Chen had already done what he should do. Then, he put the innate sword embryo away. The big scorpion was filled with emotions. The cosmic was truly immeasurable. Even the Buddhist Kingdom that had died off for so many years was still hiding countless horrors. If not for Qin Chen¡¯s extreme emperor weapon, the great demon would have escaped and gradually become a terrifying existence like those under the Emperor Burial Abyss. Thinking of this, Qin Chen left with the big scorpion and Yuji. There was nothing left on this ancient planet. The only thing left was the ruins to tell people that there was once a Buddhist Kingdom here. Yuji, on the other hand, was a little worried. Her expression was filled with concern as she said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, you caused that great demon to degenerate which allowed him to escape this time. When he recovers in the future, he will definitely come to you for revenge.¡± Qin Chen smiled faintly and said, ¡°Who knows where I will be when he comes to seek revenge on me? Where will you and I be after tens of millions of years? I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy for that great demon to recover step by step. It would already be difficult enough for him to survive.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, Yuji let go of her worries. It was true that it would not be easy for the great demon to recover. After all, his origin had been injured by Qin Chen, and only a wisp of his consciousness had escaped. Even if he could recover, it would take a long time. By that time, Qin Chen and the others might have already turned into dust. What would that great demon be able to do for revenge? Never mind what would happen then, but even if the great demon really recovered, there might already be a great emperor in that era. As long as this great demon dared to appear then, he would definitely be killed by the great emperor. The big scorpion was a little regretful, ¡°What a pity. To think there¡¯s no treasure on such a huge ancient planet. Most of the things that were left behind can¡¯t be used anymore.¡± Looking at the big scorpion, who was pretending to be great and seemed to have more to say, Qin Chen laughed, ¡°If I knew this would happen, I would have pushed you in front of that demon and let you fight with him. If you could stop and take down a big demon, you might have another super fighter.¡± The big scorpion was a little disdainful, ¡°If I were strong enough now, I would be able to kill tens or hundreds of demons as easily as killing chickens, let alone one.¡± Qin Chen laughed when he heard the big scorpion¡¯s arrogant words. Yuji also let out a light laugh that was as pleasant as silver bells ringing. The three of them continued to move forward in the star field. They did not find any ancient princes or other geniuses from the Holy Lands and dynasties of the human race. They had no idea where the latter had gone such that they had not caught up to them even after traveling for so long. Following that, the three passed by one planet after another. Most of the planets were dead planets that had only appeared due to the changes in the star field. Only a small number of planets had life. After an unknown period, the bronze sword on Qin Chen¡¯s body started to tremble as if it was attracted by something. The big scorpion was immediately excited. According to what Qin Chen said, if they could find the tip of the bronze sword, it would be a treasure that was not inferior to his Desolate Divine Halberd. He was immediately interested and looked at Qin Chen as he blinked and said shamelessly, ¡°The Elder King¡¯s bronze sword seems to be fated with me and wants to be in my hands.¡± Yuji clicked her tongue. The big scorpion was too shameless. The broken bronze sword had been something that he didn¡¯t want, but now he wanted to take it back from Qin Chen. Qin Chen held the bronze sword and poured his divine power into it. With that, the bronze sword flew into the air and pointed in a direction as if to say that the thing that was attracting it was in front. Qin Chen looked into the distance. There were many planets there. Perhaps he could find the bronze sword tip. Thinking of this, he held the bronze sword in his hand. He ignored the big scorpion and walked forward. Yuji followed him. The big scorpion looked displeased, ¡°I didn¡¯t say I didn¡¯t want it. I just left it with you. Elder King, you¡¯re too petty. How dare you steal my treasure?¡± God knows how far they had walked, but they finally arrived. Along the way, they would feel a powerful aura that was only faintly discernible. One moment it was there and the next moment it would be gone. They did not know what was going on. ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s a treasure coming into being up ahead?¡± The big scorpion could not help but smile. Qin Chen looked at the big scorpion with a look of disdain, ¡°Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more like the big black pot?¡± The big scorpion said, ¡°Bah! That evil pot? All it thinks about is stealing my treasures. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I¡¯m not strong enough, I would¡¯ve smashed that damned pot into pieces!¡± The big scorpion had a lot of treasures on him, but they had been stolen by the big black pot back then. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. He held a grudge until now and wished that one day, he could personally take all his treasures back from the big black pot. However, he also knew that the big black pot was extremely powerful. It could withstand the attack of a God-realm expert without being injured. To be able to do this, it was already above a quasi-emperor-grade weapon. It was just a pity that the pot had consciousness. If it didn¡¯t, how good would that be? The big scorpion kept mumbling, obviously unable to forget the pain that the big black pot had brought him. Suddenly, the big scorpion let out a blood-curdling screech. His arm had been pierced through! In an instant, Qin Chen took out his extreme emperor weapon and blocked Yuji and the big scorpion behind him. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The big scorpion hugged his arm which had a hole in it and said in extreme pain, ¡°Something attacked me just now.¡± To be able to sneak attack a peerless Supreme Sage, the other party must be an extraordinary existence. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned serious. If the other party were to silently appear beside them, wouldn¡¯t they be dead before they could even react? The blood flowing out of the big scorpion¡¯s arm gave off wisps of black smoke. The attack seemed to be poisonous. Qin Chen immediately threw a few heavenly treasures to the big scorpion, all sacred medicines for detoxification. Chapter 294 - 294 Divine Organization 294 Divine Organization ¡°What happened just now?¡± Yuji and Qin Chen both looked at the big scorpion. The big scorpion seemed to be clueless. He was just attacked for no reason and could not even fight back. The poison had spread rapidly, but thanks to the precious treasure Qin Quan had given the bid scorpion, the latter was able to temporarily suppress his injuries and expel the poison from his body, preventing it from spreading too quickly. ¡°I don¡¯t know, ¡± The big scorpion shook its head blankly. But what else could appear in this place? In the vast cosmic, there were many special races. Since they could survive in this cruel cosmic, they must have extraordinary abilities. Qin Chen looked around. There were no fluctuations at all as if the big scorpion had just been hallucinating. ¡°Be careful, that thing should still be around,¡± After saying that, Qin Chen closed his eyes. He needed to focus to feel everything in the star field, including the flow of time and every change. Since the other party refused to show himself, Qin Chen had to find him himself. Time passed by bit by bit, but nothing happened. Qin Chen knew that the other party was waiting for them to reveal an opening before making a move. No one was willing to make the first move. After all, Qin Chen and the others were not vigilant. It would not be easy for the other party to succeed in another attack. Rather, there was a high chance that the other party would expose himself if he did. Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°It seems that the other party is an assassin with some skill.¡± How could he lure the other party out? Qin Chen had been sensing the fluctuations in the surroundings. The other party seemed to have left. Qin Chen knew that the three of them were now the other party¡¯s prey. An excellent hunter would wait for the prey to be the most relaxed to strike, to achieve the effect of killing the latter in one strike. It didn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to start laughing. Since the other party wanted to waste time, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t give him the chance. He simply said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yuji was surprised, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll continue to attack us if we keep walking?¡± Seeing the confusion in Yuji¡¯s beautiful eyes, Qin Chen did not explain and only said, ¡°If you want to lure him out, then let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen was the backbone of the three, so the big scorpion naturally did not object. Yuji also chose to listen to him. With that, the three continued to move forward. One step, two steps¡­ The other party still did not appear. At a certain moment, Qin Chen suddenly felt a slight fluctuation. This fluctuation seemed to be natural, but his intuition told him that it was not. That fluctuation was only faintly discernible. It reached Qin Chen¡¯s back and his eyes flew open. To be honest, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know which way to go, but he knew that if he moved, the other party would not let them go. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body burst forth and he threw a punch backward. Yuji and the big scorpion could not react in time. They did not understand why Qin Chen had made a move, but the moment he did, his punch collided with something. With the powerful Chaotic Holy Body, Qin Chen was able to withstand the attack. The ripples disappeared again. Seeing that his attack had failed, the other party quickly retreated without any hesitation. The big scorpion and Yuji¡¯s eyes were filled with horror. This was too abnormal. Before they could react, Qin Chen had already known that the assassin was going to attack him! If Qin Chen did not react in time, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the attack of the other party. Big scorpion looked at the place where the fluctuation disappeared and could not help but frown. The other party had attacked so quickly that he did not even see what he was. ¡°Quite a professional assassin,¡± Qin Chen gave an extremely high evaluation. Even in the ten lands, the other party was an impressive assassin. Who could it be? Could he really be from a special cosmic race? At this moment, Yuji seemed to have recalled something. Her pretty face was filled with panic as she hurriedly said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, that person might be from Divine!¡± Qin Chen frowned, ¡°Divine?¡± Yuji quickly explained, ¡°Divine is just a code name. They are the most outstanding assassins in the entire cosmic, and they have rarely failed.¡± Qin Chen was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that they would attract an assassin today. Since the assassin was able to lock onto them in this vast cosmic, it seemed that he was quite capable. He wondered if the other party had bumped into them by chance or had been following them. ¡°Continue,¡± Qin Chen said slowly. He wanted to hear more about the organization named Divine. ¡°Divine is an organization. Their assassins are extremely powerful. Whenever they encounter a terrifyingly talented genius, they will kill the genius.¡± Qin Chen was a little confused. What kind of logic was this? To think this organization would kill geniuses whenever they saw one. Could it be an organization of lunatics? ¡°Having gone on like this, they inevitably attracted the dissatisfaction of many. Some even wanted to get rid of Divine, but the result was without exception. They couldn¡¯t find any trace of Divine. They don¡¯t even know where Divine¡¯s assassins will appear. Someone once set up a trap to kill an assassin from Divine. However, no one expected that just as he was about to succeed, an even more terrifying existence would descend and start a massacre, killing everything with extreme strength.¡± From all this, Qin Chen had gathered some information, ¡°In other words, the people of Divine are all very powerful.¡± Yuji nodded. She was a little panicked, ¡°It¡¯s said that no one has ever seen the assassins of Divine. They have killed all the people they targeted, including many God-realm experts.¡± They must have a purpose for doing this. Qin Chen remembered the organization named Divine in his heart. If he could find it one day, he would definitely kill his way in without hesitation and destroy it. Then, the fluctuation appeared again. Qin Chen knew that the other party had made another move. Even a professional assassin would not choose to perform such a continuous assassination because it was too risky. After all, the target was already alert and the assassination had failed. If he tried again, there was a high possibility that he would still fail. The gains would not make up for the loss. A professional assassin would seldom choose to do this, but Divine assassin had. It seemed that Divine didn¡¯t want more people to know about it, even if it was Qin Chen, who was probably about to become a corpse. At this moment, Qin Chen quickly pushed the big scorpion and Yuji to the side. He faced the assassin¡¯s attack alone. The Desolate Divine Halberd appeared in his hand and swept down, shattering the void. It was as if a God-realm expert was launching an attack! Chapter 295 - 295 Soul 295 Soul-searching Watching from the side, the big scorpion and Yuji¡¯s hearts were beating wildly. ¡°Has the Elder King¡¯s strength reached such a realm?¡± With a loud bang, the attack was blocked. Qin Chen saw a black shadow that was using a long sharp blade glowing with an azure light. The Desolate Divine Halberd trembled slightly, obviously shaken by the attack. To be able to shake a quasi-emperor-grade weapon, the other party¡¯s weapon must not be an ordinary magic item. It seemed that the assassins of Divine were indeed very powerful. However, no matter how hard the assassin tried, he could not kill Qin Chen. After all, Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon in his hands. Even if the other party was a God, he would still suffer defeat at Qin Chen¡¯s hands. This assassin was obviously not a God-realm expert. It was clear he had made a mistake. He wanted to kill Qin Chen, but the latter was also enraged and wanted to kill the assassin who was hiding in the dark as well. The assassin did not show himself all this time, so Qin Chen could not seize the opportunity. If the other party dared to show himself again, Qin Chen would definitely force him out. Only by forcing him out could he kill him. Otherwise, the assassin might escape. Qin Chen was already prepared, waiting for the assassin to appear at any time. However, as the assassin failed once more, he stopped attacking frequently. He knew that in this situation, other than waiting for Qin Chen to reveal an opening, he had no other way to sneak attack. It was impossible to fight his target head-on, so the assassin could only hide and wait for the right time. After waiting for so long, the other party still had not launched an attack, so Qin Chen continued to move forward with Yuji and the big scorpion. The other party simply followed Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. With a smile, he looked in a certain direction and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already caught you. Come out.¡± The assassin that was hiding in the dark with his incredible hiding skills still didn¡¯t appear. He knew that Qin Chen couldn¡¯t find him, but the latter didn¡¯t have that much patience. Qin Chen immediately poured divine power and the entire star field fluctuated. It was actually an array! The assassin had stepped into the array, and his figure was exposed in an instant, appearing in front of everyone. Qin Chen stared at the assassin with a smile on his face, while the assassin thought to himself, ¡°Sh*t!¡± There was no way for him to retreat as Qin Chen had already locked onto him. The big scorpion hurriedly said, ¡°Elder King, there¡¯s no need to kill him. Leave him alive. Divine must be preparing something. Let¡¯s interrogate him first and see if we can get some useful information.¡± After all, there were probably many more hidden assassins like those from Divine in this star field. If they wanted to avoid or discover the assassins in advance, they had to capture an assassin from Divine and interrogate him. Then they would know the whereabouts of Divine¡¯s assassins. Qin Chen knew what to do to not kill the assassin. He immediately activated his extreme emperor weapon, and a terrifying wave instantly enveloped the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin. The assassin did not expect Qin Chen to have such a trick up his sleeve. With an extreme emperor weapon in hand, even a God-realm expert would probably die in his hands. Even if he wanted to escape now, it was too late. Therefore, the assassin had no choice but to fight to the death. He gritted his teeth and a spear appeared on his body. The spear was his true weapon. His aura was like a dragon as he thrust his spear forward. He actually took the initiative to meet the attack of the extreme emperor weapon. Even Yuji and the big scorpion were impressed. It seemed like Divine had a way of training assassins. Even if they knew they were going to die, they still fought. Then, Qin Chen stopped, but the terrifying attack of the extreme emperor weapon still hit the assassin, causing the latter to be seriously injured. The big scorpion quickly rushed up and sealed the assassin¡¯s meridians, then tied him up. This was to prevent the assassin from committing suicide. After all, they still had many questions that they had not had the time to ask. They could not let him die so easily. Qin Chen looked at the assassin. The assassin¡¯s killing intent was very strong. It was obvious that he had killed many. However, he did not expect to have picked on the wrong person this time. ¡°Explain,¡± Qin Chen said calmly, but the assassin did not seem to hear him. Qin Chen looked at him and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t talk, I¡¯ll just search your soul.¡± If he searched the assassin¡¯s soul, the latter would become an idiot. Thinking of this, the assassin¡¯s mouth twitched. He lowered his head and said slowly, ¡°I¡¯ll talk.¡± The big scorpion laughed and said, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it have been better if you had done this earlier? What is Divine doing?¡± The assassin heard this and found the question funny, ¡°You¡¯re asking the obvious.¡± The big scorpion was furious, ¡°I asked you to answer, not to refute. If I knew everything, why would I keep you alive? Hurry up and spill!¡± ¡°Our goal is to find geniuses in this vast cosmic and kill them to prevent them from causing danger on the road to becoming an emperor.¡± ¡°Causing danger on the road to becoming an emperor¡­ Why is that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because we have a son of God among the assassins who want to seize the opportunity to become an emperor in this era. We have to do our best to clear the obstacles for him.¡± ¡°Divine¡¯s son of God?¡± Qin Chen was puzzled. ¡°Then where is Divine?¡± The assassin replied indifferently, ¡°Divine is in the cosmic. We are everywhere.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen frowned. It seemed that although this assassin was powerful, he had been brainwashed. One should know that if it was according to his words, Divine would be at least a quasi-emperor-grade existence. Such an existence was only one step away from breaking through to the great emperor realm, so how could they have the time to do such things? Killing Supreme Sages and God-realm experts was useless. It was better to kill those old monsters in the same realm. That should have been the reasonable way to do things, yet Divine was killing geniuses like them instead. It was simply too outrageous. The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen, ¡°Why don¡¯t we just use soul search?¡± ¡°I guess we won¡¯t be able to get anything out of him. Even if he knows, he won¡¯t say anything.¡± Qin Chen nodded and looked at the assassin. However, the assassin did not move at all. It was as if he didn¡¯t care about his upcoming fate. Qin Chen placed his hand on the assassin¡¯s head and sent his spiritual will into the latter¡¯s mind. He immediately received many memories. It turned out that this assassin was an orphan picked up by Divine. Then, the organization slowly trained him into an assassin and made him work for Divine. The number of geniuses he had killed was simply too many to count. Chapter 296 - 296 Star Fluid 296 Star Fluid Otherwise, the assassin couldn¡¯t possibly have such a terrifying killing intent. Then, when Qin Chen tried to find the location of Divine, the assassin¡¯s soul exploded automatically and he died immediately, leaving no clues for Qin Chen. Qin Chen said slowly, ¡°It seems that Divine¡¯s protective measures are really good.¡± With that, Qin Chen put down the assassin¡¯s body and let it drift into the cosmic. This exposed many problems though because Divine might have already used some secret technique to find out about them. The big scorpion said coldly, ¡°If Divine¡¯s assassins come again, I¡¯ll definitely kill them.¡± Qin Chen looked at him with disdain, ¡°Just now, you were caught off guard by this assassin and couldn¡¯t fight back. Now that the assassin is dead, you¡¯re here to talk big.¡± Yuji was speechless about the big scorpion¡¯s actions. Then, they continued to move forward. There were many dangers in this vast cosmic. Qin Chen sighed with emotion and wondered what Yuji had experienced to break through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm in the vast cosmic. Yuji was used to it. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have known the secrets of Divine, which was obviously a troublesome existence for all parties. It was a pity that Qin Chen had yet to find the whereabouts of Divine. He did not have a good impression of Divine at all. Instead, he was angry that they had sent assassins to kill them. If he reached a certain realm in the future, he would definitely take revenge on Divine and destroy them. As they continued forward, they encountered another terrifying race along the way. This race was called the spirit-eating fish, but they contained a certain amount of dragon blood. They wandered in this vast cosmic in large numbers, and few of the creatures they targeted survived because these guys were even more terrifying than the black ants. Even when they encountered the black ants, they had to retreat, so Qin Chen naturally did not want to provoke such a ferocious creature. Just as they were about to retreat, one of the spirit-eating fish discovered Qin Chen and the others. After all, their senses were extremely sharp. With that, a group of spirit-eating fish, all of which were at level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm, attacked them! Seeing this, Qin Chen had no choice but to activate his extreme emperor weapon. He did not want to fight with such races, but he didn¡¯t have a choice. The terrifying extreme emperor weapon was activated, and the innate sword embryo burst out with shocking power, killing many of the spirit-eating fish. Then, the latter ran away in fear. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t have the extreme emperor weapon and Yuji was alone, she would have died in the spirit-eating fish¡¯s stomach by now. She was glad that she had chosen to follow the Elder King. The three continued forward and arrived before an ancient planet. There seemed to have been a huge battle on this ancient planet, and the pressure left behind by an extreme emperor weapon could be felt! Qin Chen sensed the remaining pressure of the extreme emperor weapon and realized that it was left behind by the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. He was surprised. Could it be that the people of the Great Qin Dynasty had appeared here not long ago and had a huge battle that even needed the extreme emperor weapon? It seemed that the battle had been extremely intense. Qin Chen looked at the planet and saw that there were still many bloodstains that had not dried up. They must have been left behind by some experts. However, the blood was all black, so it could not have been left behind by human cultivators. There seemed to be another living being on this planet. He was panting non-stop as he sensed the arrival of Qin Chen and the others. Then, the expert walked out. No one expected the other party to be a God-realm expert. His hands were like claws, his eyes were like torches, and flames were flowing on his body! This was also an expert from a powerful cosmic race, but Yuji had never seen him before. After all, there were countless races in the vast cosmic. The injured God-realm expert must be the enemy that had a huge battle with the Great Qin Dynasty. Qin Chen looked at the God-realm expert. He didn¡¯t expect the latter to be able to speak human language. The expert said slowly, ¡°Leave or no? If no, die!¡± Qin Chen was surprised to hear the hostility. He did not expect the extreme emperor weapon to fail to kill the other party. It seemed like this was a God-realm expert with secrets. Qin Chen had killed many ordinary God-realm experts, and only a few could withstand the power of an extreme emperor weapon. Upon seeing this, the big scorpion also sensed that there seemed to be a terrifying fluctuation on the planet. Could it be that this God-realm expert was guarding something? ¡°You¡¯re the creature that just fought the human cultivators?¡± Qin Chen asked. The God-realm expert¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, ¡°They wanted to snatch the star fluid that I¡¯ve been guarding for so many years. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re here to snatch the star fluid as well?¡± Upon hearing the words ¡°star fluid¡±, Yuji¡¯s face flushed and her breathing quickened. She sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, the star fluid is a very rare treasure in the cosmic. It can significantly improve one¡¯s strength and is treasured by many.¡± Hearing Yuji¡¯s words, Qin Chen took out his extreme emperor weapon. He smiled at the injured expert and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll have to kill you. I¡¯ll give you two choices. Hand over the star fluid or I¡¯ll get it myself.¡± The God-realm expert roared in anger, ¡°If you want the star fluid, you¡¯ll have to get it over my dead body!¡± Then, he released a terrifying pressure. He was a middle-stage God-realm expert! Qin Chen was puzzled. If the other party was only a middle-stage God-realm expert, he shouldn¡¯t have been able to survive the power of an extreme emperor weapon. Did he have some kind of trick up his sleeve? That being said, the best way for Qin Chen to find out was to kill this powerful cosmic race being. As long as he killed the other party, he would know everything. When Qin Chen saw that the other party was unwilling to hand over the star fluid, he immediately revived the innate sword embryo! He would like to see if this God-realm expert could withstand the power of the innate sword embryo. Qin Chen poured his divine power into the innate sword embryo. The innate sword embryo instantly burst out with a terrifying chaotic force that resonated with Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body. The God-realm expert was a little depressed. Were extreme emperor weapons so common now? Why was it that someone with an extreme emperor weapon had just fought with him, and now another person with an extreme emperor weapon had appeared? Chapter 297 - 297 Ancient Fire Spirit Race 297 Ancient Fire Spirit Race How could there be so many extreme emperor weapons? One had to know that there were only a few ancient great emperors in history. How could so many extreme emperor weapons appear all at once? The God-realm expert found it simply unbelievable. Now, it was as if his entire body was burning. The flames on his body were extremely terrifying, and even the void showed traces of melting. Seeing this, even the big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. This God-realm expert was too terrifying. Even the clone of the terrifying existence under the Emperor Burial Abyss hadn¡¯t been so powerful. Could it be related to the terrifying flame? After all, in the vast cosmic, there were many monstrous experts. Qin Chen activated his extreme emperor weapon and attacked the God-realm expert. The innate sword embryo turned into a huge sword shadow and the sky was filled with light as it came crashing down on the God-realm expert. However, the God-realm expert didn¡¯t dodge or evade. He simply used the flames on his body to form armor on his fist, then punched out. The power was terrifying! It completely blocked the pressure of the extreme emperor weapon and shattered the sword shadow of the innate sword embryo. How could there be such a terrifying God-realm expert? Even an ordinary God-realm expert would probably be crushed by him! Qin Chen waved his innate sword embryo again, and an even more terrifying power burst out. Wisps of the emperor¡¯s might spread out before being hit by the fist. When the emperor¡¯s might descended on the fist, it actually melted! Qin Chen was shocked. Could this flame be some kind of special flame? How could it be so powerful? Even an ordinary God-realm expert would be burned to death. No wonder the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword couldn¡¯t kill this God-realm expert. It was because the flames on the other party¡¯s body were too terrifying! The God-realm expert laughed and said, ¡°So what if you have an extreme emperor weapon? You¡¯re just an ant in the Supreme Sage realm. I¡¯ve killed countless Supreme Sage experts. Even the God-realm experts who have died in my hands are in the hundreds. If you were a God using the extreme emperor weapon, I might respect you, but since you¡¯re a Supreme Sage, it¡¯s like a child holding an adult¡¯s weapon. You can¡¯t unleash any of its power. You should know that I¡¯m an ancient fire spirit.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen came to his senses. It was said that when the ancient great emperors forged extreme emperor weapons, they used ancient flames to melt divine materials. Only ancient flames could melt those extremely hard materials. This ancient fire spirit was obviously closely related to the ancient flames. ¡°I, the ancient fire spirit, was born from the ancient flames. I have even met the ancient great emperors before. How dare you, a Supreme Sage junior, attack me?¡± However, when he finished speaking, the God-realm expert coughed out blood. He was probably badly injured by the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. Seeing this, Qin Chen sneered, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have much power even as an ancient fire spirit. You¡¯re like an arrow at the end of its flight. Just watch as I kill you today!¡± With that, Qin Chen activated the innate sword embryo again, unleashing a terrifying power. The emperor¡¯s might was like a fierce gust of wind, and the sword energy pierced through the void and fell like a huge blade. Even though the God-realm expert had used all his strength, he was still hit and vomited blood. A huge wound appeared on his body, almost tearing him in half, only connected by skin. Pu! The God-realm expert spat out a mouthful of blood. He was on the verge of death, and his aura was wavering. ¡°If you kill me, the ancient fire spirit race will definitely not let you off!¡± However, Qin Chen thought nothing of his threat at all. Once again, he held the innate sword embryo and slashed out with his sword. This slash cut the God-realm expert into pieces. Unexpectedly, the other party was miraculously resurrected after that, though even weaker than before. He looked at Qin Chen. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have the guts. You¡¯re forcing me to do this!¡± The God-realm expert roared and burned his blood in an attempt to escape. Naturally, Qin Chen would not let this God-realm expert leave. If the ancient fire spirit race behind him brought trouble, it would not be worth it. It was best to delay the news as long as possible. As such, with the extreme emperor weapon in hand, Qin Chen circulated the chaotic energy in his body, and the heavens rumbled. The emperor¡¯s might descended and killed the God-realm expert again! It was a pity that only a ball of fire was left on the spot after the God-realm expert was killed. The ball of fire refused to be extinguished. ¡°It seems like this is the ancient flame,¡± Qin Chen looked at the flame and felt quite excited. If he could take this supreme treasure away, it would be of great benefit to him when he was fighting his enemies or refining pills. Then, the flame transformed into the shape of a human as it pleaded, ¡°Sir, please spare my life. If you spare me, I¡¯m willing to follow you.¡± However, Qin Chen did not think much of it. Once he had the intention to kill, he could not take it back. If the other party had known that this would happen, he shouldn¡¯t have done it. With this, Qin Chen slashed out with his sword again. This time, the ancient fire spirit race¡¯s expert¡¯s consciousness was annihilated, and the ancient flame was now free of control. Unfortunately, even if Qin Chen wanted to put it away, it would be extremely difficult. After all, the flame was too terrifying. No matter what he used to put it away, the flame would simply burn through it. Thinking of this, he looked at the ancient flame, feeling puzzled. How could he put away this flame? Without waiting for too long, the flame automatically flew into the distance. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t stop it. Apparently, the ancient fire spirit race must have guided it back. In the face of such a terrifying flame, even planets could be burned through. Nothing could stop it. With this, Qin Chen provoked another powerful race, the ancient fire spirit race. It was not a big deal though. He looked at the ancient planet in front of him. Fluctuations were being emitted. It was the star fluid. The star fluid was extremely rare because it was the essence of all the power of a star. Once it was refined, it was equivalent to refining the power of an entire star. That was why it was regarded as a supreme treasure by the races in the cosmic. It could quickly increase one¡¯s strength and had remarkable effects. It was even more useful than the divine source. Qin Chen had never seen the star fluid before, but he knew how rare it was. Otherwise, the ancient fire spirit race¡¯s God wouldn¡¯t have been fighting with him here. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the big scorpion that was rushing toward the planet. The latter simply couldn¡¯t control himself upon hearing about the treasure. Yuji couldn¡¯t help but scold the big scorpion. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen, how could he have survived the ancient fire spirit race¡¯s attack? Chapter 298 - 298 White Jade Celestial Bell 298 White Jade Celestial Bell However, the big scorpion was unbashful and not embarrassed at all while being exceptionally determined that he had to get some of the star fluid no matter what. Qin Chen simply smiled and did not say anything. When they arrived at the ancient planet, they found a pool. The fluid in the pool was crystal clear and sparkled with starlight. It contained a huge amount of spiritual energy. It was obvious that this was the star fluid. Just by standing here, Qin Chen could feel his pores open up and he felt extremely comfortable. If he could refine the star fluid, he would definitely become more powerful. He then divided the star fluid into three portions and gave a portion each to the big scorpion and Yuji. Yuji hurriedly waved her hand and said, ¡°How can I accept it? Elder King, this is your spoils of war.¡± The big scorpion quickly came over, ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. You¡¯re not blessed enough to enjoy it. Let me, this big scorpion, help you bear the karma.¡± Qin Chen slapped the big scorpion¡¯s head and said to Yuji, ¡°Take it!¡± In the end, Yuji had no choice but to accept it. With the star fluid, she was sure that she could break through to the God realm, which was fatally attractive to a female cultivator. This was because once one reached the God realm, one¡¯s appearance would not age. One¡¯s beauty would remain forever and one¡¯s lifespan would increase by a lot. Therefore, Qin Chen¡¯s actions of giving her a portion made Yuji very touched. She looked at Qin Chen and was even more determined to follow the Elder King. She had challenged many geniuses in the ten lands, but none of them were as strong as the Elder King. It was said that the Elder King didn¡¯t have any human experts in the Taiyi Holy Land. Yuji was from a bloodline of the ancient human race in the cosmic, so she could be considered a human. Her appearance was no different from a human¡¯s, and her aura was otherworldly. Even many talented ladies of the Holy Lands and dynasties could not compare to her. ¡°I must become the strongest woman by the Elder King¡¯s side.¡± Of course, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what Yuji was thinking. What he was doing was normal in his opinion. Since he couldn¡¯t use so much star fluid alone, he might as well share some with Yuji and the big scorpion. The three of them then left the ancient planet and continued on their way. Since the traces of the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword had appeared, it meant that the people from the Great Qin Dynasty should be up ahead. And this time, his ninth brother was definitely not in the cosmic. After all, his ninth brother was the Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty. Naturally, he would not risk his life in the cosmic. Even with an extreme emperor weapon, he was still too weak. It was highly possible that it was Supreme Sage Qin Tian who had come to the cosmic with the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. As he thought of this, Qin Chen hurriedly increased his speed, wanting to catch up. After all, if he joined forces with Supreme Sage Qin Tian, the dangers that could threaten them in this star field would be much less. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to move forward, followed by Yuji and the big scorpion. However, before the three had advanced for a while, they discovered a white jade celestial bell flying over from the vast void! No one knew what the white jade celestial bell was made of, but it was releasing wisps of emperor¡¯s might! Qin Chen looked at the white jade celestial bell and had a guess. The big scorpion cried out in surprise, ¡°Is that an extreme weapon?¡± The big scorpion had been coveting an extreme weapon for a long time. If he had one, he could find a place to establish his own sect. It would be a great help to the Taiyi Holy Land if they had an extreme emperor weapon. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly burst out with all his strength and chased after the white jade celestial bell, while Yuji and the big scorpion followed closely behind. The speed of the three was about the same, but the distance between them and the white jade celestial bell was increasing instead. If this continued, they would definitely be shaken off by the white jade celestial bell. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a little helpless as he watched the treasure that was suspected to be an extreme emperor weapon escape. He was powerless. One had to know that an extreme emperor weapon was a treasure left behind by an ancient great emperor, and it possessed unfathomable power. The big scorpion was heartbroken, ¡°Why is the white jade celestial bell getting further and further away from us?¡± Then, they looked behind them. It turned out that far behind them, experts from many other races were also chasing after the white jade celestial bell. However, Qin Chen and the others were closer, so they had not been shaken off by the white jade celestial bell yet. Looking at the persistent experts of the powerful cosmic races behind him, Qin Chen gritted his teeth and chased after the white jade celestial bell without caring about anything. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Even if he had to pay a huge price, he must catch up to the white jade celestial bell! After all, the white jade celestial bell was emitting the emperor¡¯s might, so it was very likely to be an extreme emperor weapon left behind by a great emperor! If he had one more extreme emperor weapon, he could keep it in the Taiyi Holy Land and prevent his territory from being invaded. At the current point, as long as Qin Chen left, many forces that were hostile to him would attempt to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land. Qin Chen could not be there every time, so it was better to leave an extreme emperor weapon in the Taiyi Holy Land. As he thought of this, he gave chase. Yuji and the big scorpion also saw the countless experts chasing after the white jade celestial bell, and they didn¡¯t dare to fall behind. They kept chasing forward with all their might. ¡°Oh my God, why are there so many experts after the extreme emperor weapon?!¡± The big scorpion cried out in alarm. After an unknown length of time, an ancient planet appeared in front of them. The white jade celestial bell was going to pass through the ancient planet. It turned out there was a special race on the ancient planet. A God-realm expert appeared and roared in anger, thinking that someone was going to attack the ancient planet. This was their ancestral planet, they could not back down! As he thought of this, a terrifying aura erupted from the God-realm expert¡¯s body, and he tried to take down the white jade celestial bell. Unfortunately, before he could even do anything, the white jade celestial bell directly hit his body, and the terrifying emperor¡¯s might killed the God-realm expert on the spot. The countless experts on the ancient planet were in sorrow and pain. They never thought that their God-realm expert would die. He was one of their ancestors! The white jade celestial bell did not actually want to crash into the ancient planet. It just wanted to pass over the ancient planet. It was the God-realm expert who had sought death. No one had expected him to lose his life. Then, the white jade celestial bell continued to move forward. Qin Chen and the rest also hurriedly flew over. He must not let this white jade celestial bell fall into the hands of others. No one knew where the white jade celestial bell was going, so Qin Chen just kept flying forward at a terrifying speed. He didn¡¯t know when it would stop. Chapter 299 - 299 A Monster Appears 299 A Monster Appears Then, they watched as the white jade celestial bell continued flying at a constant speed. Qin Chen and the other two chased after it with great perseverance. There were many experts following behind them who also wanted to obtain the white jade celestial bell. Everyone knew that the white jade celestial bell was definitely a treasure. At this moment, the white jade celestial bell arrived above an ancient planet. This ancient planet seemed to be extremely terrifying as it exuded monstrous pressure. Following this, the white jade celestial bell flew in. Although they didn¡¯t know why the white jade celestial bell would fly to the ancient planet, Qin Chen and the other two still quickly chased after it. The gravity on this ancient planet was a hundred times stronger than that of the outside world. For a moment, even a Supreme Sage would find it difficult to walk. They couldn¡¯t even fly. They could only walk forward on the ground step by step. Even so, the gravity on their body was extremely terrifying. ¡°What is this place?¡± The experts who were behind them also arrived one after another and landed on the ancient planet. They could tell that there was something mysterious about the ancient planet. At least, they couldn¡¯t reach a decisive conclusion about whether there was any danger on the planet. The big scorpion cried out in alarm, ¡°Things aren¡¯t looking good! It seems that we can¡¯t leave!¡± At this moment, Qin Chen and the others realized that they could not even fly. As such, it was simply impossible for them to leave. The gravity was too terrifying. As long as any living being came close, it would be sucked onto the ancient planet. What was this place? Even Yuji was confused. She had never heard of this place before. Qin Chen looked at the ancient planet. There did not seem to be any living creatures here, but there were many tombs. Some of the tombs had monuments, while others didn¡¯t even have one. They were just mounds of earth, which looked very eerie. Strange rules circulated around the ancient planet. This was just like a trap to kill them. When everyone arrived on this ancient planet, they were shocked to find that they couldn¡¯t leave. This was simply a life-threatening matter. Qin Chen walked forward step by step with great difficulty. Even though he circulated his chaotic power and his body burst with a terrifying aura, it was not enough to even make the terrifying gravity stir. This place was simply too terrifying. He looked at the other cultivators and the experts of the powerful cosmic races. Even the God-realm experts among them were suppressed by the terrifying gravity to the point where they could only walk. ¡°What is with this ancient planet?¡± Someone exclaimed in disbelief. They wanted to leave, but they couldn¡¯t even get off the ground. Suddenly, a roar came from somewhere. It sounded very special. It seemed to be right next to their ears, but far away at the same time. Qin Chen turned to the big scorpion and Yuji, then said, ¡°Be careful.¡± After this, they saw a black creature in the distance. It looked like a person, but its body was emitting a faint black aura. Its eyes were pitch-black, and it gave off an ominous feeling. ¡°What is that thing?¡± A God-realm expert sent out his spiritual will to investigate, only to find that the creature seemed to have no consciousness at all. The aura on its body was very powerful. Could it be that the creature without consciousness was a puppet? The creature simply stared at them from a distance. What was controlling it? Some of the God-realm experts were panicking. After all, they were all suppressed by the gravity here and could not exert much of their strength. Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon, so no matter what happened, he believed that he would be able to survive with the big scorpion and Yuji. The human-like creature was crawling over step by step. ¡°Look, it¡¯s coming towards us!¡± Many experts began to be on guard because the monster was very strange. It was like a corpse, but it could still move. Could it be a special race? However, when they thought about the countless special races in the vast cosmic, they relaxed a little. Perhaps this was just a special race that lived on this ancient planet, though the aura it was emitting was extremely powerful. The big scorpion consciously hid behind Qin Chen. He thought of his previously injured arm and felt a throbbing pain. The cosmic was too dangerous. It was better to leave it to the capable ones to face the danger. ¡°Stand behind me,¡± Qin Chen said to Yuji as he activated his Chaotic Holy Body. No matter how unwilling she was, Yuji could only do as she was told because she had no idea what that terrifying monster was. As the monster walked closer, it raised its head, as if trying to distinguish something, and then made a whimpering sound. Soon, more monsters appeared. They came from the tombs! Could there be a monster under every mound and tomb? Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t even know what kind of threat these monsters would pose, but they were already surrounded. ¡°What do we do?¡± Some panicked when they saw that the situation was not looking good. Now that they were surrounded, they wondered what the other party would do. On the other hand, Qin Chen was looking into the distance on the ancient planet. The white jade celestial bell seemed to have stopped on a tall mountain. The mountain was still quite far away from them, so at this point, they could only choose to break out of the encirclement first. However, it wasn¡¯t that easy to do so. The monsters kept shrinking their encirclement as if they were hunting prey. Then, a monster rushed over at extreme speed. It walked on the terrifying gravity planet as if it was flat ground. Its figure seemed to reach the front of the crowd very quickly! A God-realm expert immediately launched a punch, but he didn¡¯t expect to be targeted by the monster instead and have his arm torn off! His arm was instantly gone, and blood gushed out! The God-realm expert was in great pain and quickly retreated. After tearing the God-realm expert¡¯s arm off, the monster began to devour the arm in front of everyone. The sound of chewing simply made one¡¯s scalp tingle! What was this monster? None of them had ever heard of such a strange ancient planet. Even God-realm experts had a high chance of dying here. Qin Chen had already assumed a battle-ready posture. Following this, the group of monsters swarmed up and attacked them. Immediately, some of the experts took out their weapons and began to attack. However, their attacks were ineffective. Instead, the monsters dodged the attacks bizarrely. Then, they pounced on the experts and tore them apart before stuffing themselves with the body parts on the ground. Chapter 300 - 300 The Red 300 The Red-eyed on the Mountain This terrifying scene was simply unbelievable. Could these monsters be God-realm experts? Some couldn¡¯t help but question. Even the God-realm experts were like feeble children in front of the monsters and simply at their mercy. As for the experts who had not reached the God realm, they were in even more danger. They could not avoid these terrifying monsters at all. They died one by one, and soon, about 30 to 40 people were dead. Qin Chen could feel that something was terribly wrong. A monster rushed towards him. The monster was extremely fast and agile. Qin Chen took out the Desolate Divine Halberd and swung down, cutting the monster¡¯s body. However, the monster¡¯s skin was like a magic item! The sound of metal clashing rang out, and its skin seemed to be extremely hard as the Desolate Divine Halberd caused no damage! This surprised Qin Chen a little. Then, he threw a punch! He circulated the Chaotic Holy Body and terrifying divine power gathered on his fist. He punched at the monster and it was sent flying several meters away. However, the monster quickly got up from the ground. ¡°You two, run!¡± Qin Chen hurriedly said. The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen and asked, ¡°What about you?¡± Qin Chen simply said, ¡°I¡¯ll hold them off here. We¡¯ll meet up on that mountain!¡± The white jade celestial bell was on the mountain, so there should be fewer monsters there. With that, Qin Chen pushed Yuji and the big scorpion out. He turned around and walked forward alone to face the terrifying monsters. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t die yet. I have the innate sword embryo with me. These monsters can¡¯t kill me.¡± Yuji still wanted to say something, but the big scorpion pulled her away by the wrist, ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly. We can¡¯t add to the Elder King¡¯s burden. If we stay here, we will only be dragging him down. We won¡¯t be of any help to him and will even distract him.¡± Seeing the big scorpion and Yuji finally leave, Qin Chen focused all his attention on the terrifying monsters. While some were killed and the monsters devoured the corpses, some experts fled in a hurry, running for their lives. They did not dare to face these terrifying monsters anymore, and Qin Chen did not know how to deal with them either. Their bodies were extremely hard, comparable to magic items. In this case, his attacks were useless. How should he deal with these terrifying monsters? Qin Chen¡¯s mind was racing, but he couldn¡¯t come up with anything. Another God-realm expert was besieged by several terrifying monsters. These terrifying monsters swarmed up and used their hands and teeth to pierce the God-realm expert¡¯s body. With that, the God-realm expert let out a blood-curdling scream as he was torn into pieces. His internal organs were scattered all over the ground. The scene was extremely bloody! Even God-realm experts couldn¡¯t stand watching such a scene! Qin Chen looked at the monsters and could not help but feel a little nervous. If he were to be surrounded by them, he would probably die if he did not use his extreme emperor weapon. In terms of physical combat power, these terrifying monsters were definitely far superior to God-realm experts. Following this, Qin Chen picked up the Desolate Divine Halberd and prepared to fight. Two terrifying monsters seemed to look at each other before rushing toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen was protected by Chaotic Divine Power and much emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. He then struck out with his palm and a huge handprint appeared. ¡°Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!¡± After sending a terrifying monster flying, he immediately clenched his hands and swept out with the Desolate Divine Halberd to block the attack of another terrifying monster. However, he knew that he couldn¡¯t continue like this. If he did, he would only exhaust his divine power and die in battle. Qin Chen put away the Desolate Divine Halberd and continuously struck out with palm imprints. Each palm imprint contained all of his strength. In an instant, he had struck out five to six palm imprints, forming a wall of light that once again sent the monsters flying. Unfortunately, he was painfully aware that he couldn¡¯t hold on for too long. On the other side, a God-realm expert, who seemed to have some mysterious means, had actually pierced his hand through the chest of a terrifying monster! However, the terrifying monster did not seem to be afraid of its chest being pierced through. That was not its weakness. The God-realm expert had been extremely excited, thinking that he had just killed a terrifying monster. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the monster would bite his neck in the next second. In an instant, blood spurted out. The God-realm expert struggled, trying to get the monster off his body. However, it attracted more monsters to pounce on him, and his body was also torn into pieces. Scenes of the massacre played out in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. Many who could not stand it vomited on the spot as if they were about to be disgusted to the point of nausea. Qin Chen was also ready to leave. He believed that the big scorpion and Yuji should have escaped after such a long time. Just as he was about to leave, Qin Chen saw the experts who had been eaten. Their blood scattered on the ground and turned into blood threads that were attracted to the tombs. Then, the blood threads were swallowed by the tombs and could no longer be seen. It was just eerie. Of course, Qin Chen found it unacceptable as well. Then, he quickly prepared to leave. Just as he was about to leave, another terrifying monster pounced on him. This time, Qin Chen directly grabbed its neck. He could clearly see that the monster seemed to be a human. Its appearance and body shape were exactly the same as a human, but it had no consciousness. It was as if killing was its instinct. This terrifying monster wanted to use its hands to grab Qin Chen, seemingly wanting to kill him at all costs. Its claws were extremely sharp and flashing with cold light. Then, Qin Chen kicked it away and left quickly. The other survivors ran as well, not daring to stay any longer. It didn¡¯t matter where they went, as long as they didn¡¯t get eaten by the monsters. Qin Chen looked at the tall mountain. On top of the mountain was a cloud of white mist. This white mist seemed to have a life of its own and was constantly morphing. It seemed that this ancient planet was not a good place to be. Qin Chen quickly rushed toward the mountain. He was afraid that something might happen to Yuji and the big scorpion. Although they were respectively at levels 8 and 5 of the Supreme Sage realm, on this ancient planet, even God-realm experts were just like ordinary cultivators. They were all at risk of death. In such a dangerous place, if those two were to encounter danger, they would most likely not be able to deal with it. Qin Chen used his movement technique and quickly rushed toward where they were. At that moment, the big scorpion and Yuji were in danger. Chapter 301 - 301 Timely Arrival 301 Timely Arrival They seemed to see a pair of red eyes in the white mist, so red they were like two rubies, flashing by. The higher they went up the mountain, the thicker the white fog became. In the end, they simply couldn¡¯t see anything. They could only grope forward step by step. The red eyes that had just appeared in front were probably not to be provoked either. It was very likely that the mountain was dangerous. If this continued, they might not be able to hold on at all. Now, they missed Qin Chen. If he was here, they wouldn¡¯t be so afraid, because he had brought them out of desperate situations time and time again. Yuji silently called out to Qin Chen in her heart. At this point, they did not dare to move at all, because the red eyes in the white mist might be staring at them. If they made any sudden movements, it was very likely that they would be targeted by the red eyes, and at that time, only death would await them. They had witnessed the strangeness of the ancient planet. Even God-realm experts died tragic deaths here. They had not even reached the God realm yet, so it was only given that they would die faster if they were involved in anything. They could only hope that Qin Chen would arrive soon. God knows what kind of monsters were hiding in the white mist. Yuji and the big scorpion could hear their heartbeats clearly. The red eyes could also hear their heartbeats, which seemed to be accelerating slowly. This was a sign of extreme fear. Qin Chen was rushing over. He was well aware that there were many dangers on this ancient planet, and even he might die. In that case, Yuji and the big scorpion, who had left earlier, would be in even more danger. He had to catch up to them as soon as possible. At the thought of this, Qin Chen performed a secret technique. The Chaotic Holy Body was fully unleashed and the divine power in his body surged, forming a piece of light. He moved quickly as if he was no longer suppressed by the gravity of the ancient planet. This was something that Qin Chen hadn¡¯t expected. He had thought that the gravity on this planet couldn¡¯t be affected, but now, his speed had increased by a lot. Even so, his speed was still limited, and he needed time to reach Yuji and the big scorpion. He could only pray that the two would not encounter any danger. Following this, Qin Chen seemed to sense something. A terrifying monster seemed to be chasing him from behind. ¡°Just like an undispellable ghost,¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. That terrifying monster seemed to have set its eyes on Qin Chen and would not stop until it killed him. Many of the experts who had come to this ancient planet in pursuit of the white jade celestial bell had died, and it was unknown how many were left. If one wanted to leave, one would probably have to rely on the power of the white jade celestial bell. Since the bell had fallen onto this ancient planet, it meant that there must be something on this ancient planet that was attracting it. At that moment, Yuji and the big scorpion seemed to see a pair of red eyes slowly approaching them from a distance. The pair of eyes seemed unperturbed by the white mist, and even became increasingly brighter! The pair of eyes seemed to be unleashing a spiritual attack, making them feel that even looking at the pair of eyes was becoming more and more unbearable and difficult. No one would have thought that the ancient planet would be so terrifying. The big scorpion was filled with regret. If he knew that the ancient planet was so terrifying, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen to chase after the white jade celestial bell. Birds died for food and humans died for money, both due to greed. The two seemed to be able to sense that soon, that pair of red eyes would reach them. Fear bubbled from the depths of their hearts, pressing down on them to the point of suffocation. They were getting increasingly afraid. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t even know what those red eyes were. The big scorpion was praying that Qin Chen would come quickly as they might not be able to hold on for much longer. If they were to face those red eyes, they might be corpses by the time Qin Chen arrived. The big scorpion made a hand gesture to Yuji, signaling her to hide her aura and see if they could escape. Now, they had to try whatever method they could. Otherwise, they would be dead before Qin Chen could even come. Yuji nodded, then silently restrained her aura. The big scorpion did the same. They held their breaths and looked at the red eyes vigilantly. Although looking at the eyes made them feel spiritually uncomfortable, they had to. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t even know when the red eyes reached them. The red eyes were getting closer, like a ghost. The big scorpion and Yuji didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. They were already covered in a cold sweat. What kind of monster possessed these red eyes? On the mountain of the ancient planet, the white jade celestial bell inexplicably rang as if someone was ringing it. Suddenly, a boom burst out and the great sound of the bell seemed to crash into their hearts. The red eyes seemed to be suppressed as well as the creature turned its head to look at the mountain. Come quickly! The red eyes were now less than a hundred steps away from them, and Yuji and the big scorpion were ready. If the red eyes came within ten steps of them, they would immediately turn around and run. They couldn¡¯t just sit and wait for death. If they were unable to make the red-eyed creature let them go even after they concealed their auras, then they would only be waiting for death if they stayed. Along with the chimes of the white jade celestial bell that was like a celestial Buddha chanting sutra, the Great Path rose to the sky and the red eyes slowed down as if they were hesitating. Before the big scorpion and Yuji could react, the red-eyed creature suddenly accelerated and arrived before them! That pair of red eyes seemed to be the scariest thing in the world, and the two were so frightened that they were frozen. At the most critical moment, Qin Chen finally arrived. He held the Desolate Divine Halberd and struck at the red eyes. Who cared what kind of monster the other party was? He had to make a move first! Qin Chen did not hesitate at all when he saw the red eyes. To prevent Yuji and the big scorpion from getting hurt, he had to strike first. The Desolate Divine Halberd swept out and seemed to strike something with a tremendous force. However, they could not see what it was. The red eyes weren¡¯t injured at all, though they were pushed back a little. Qin Chen quickly stood in front of Yuji and the big scorpion. He didn¡¯t know what the red eyes were, but almost everything that appeared on this ancient planet was deadly. Then, Qin Chen took out a moonstone and threw it out. The moonstone could light up a large area. At least, it could show what kind of creature possessed these red eyes. Chapter 302 - 302 Traversing the White Mist 302 Traversing the White Mist However, just as Qin Chen took out the moonstone, the red eye noticed the light coming from it. As he threw the moonstone out, the red eye immediately disappeared without a trace. The scene scared Big Scorpion and Yuji out of their wits. They were both panting intensely. What sort of monster was that red eye? If Qin Chen had not made it just in time, the two of them might have died at the hands of the red eye. After all, there were too many bizarre things on the ancient planet. They would die miserably if they did not pay attention to their surroundings. The red eye was certainly something that killed without hesitation. It was forced back by Qin Chen for now. Who knew if it was still hiding in the shadows and observing them? Qin Chen immediately asked, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± He had just taken the moonstone out. He didn¡¯t even manage to see his target clearly. The red eye disappeared just as he was casting the moonstone. Yuji and Big Scorpion shook their heads with bitter smiles. They also did not know what kind of monster the red eye was. Qin Chen felt uneasy. The red eye could easily block a blow delivered by the Desolate Divine Halberd. It was most likely more powerful than that terrifying monster. Just then, a sound came from behind them. Qin Chen glanced back and saw that one of the monsters was suddenly chasing after them. It was the monster that had the shape of a human and could tear apart the body of a God-realm expert. Big Scorpion let out a surprised cry. He never imagined that the terrifying monster actually followed Qin Chen up to the mountain. Yuji was also shocked. Her face was ghastly pale. She did not wish to be eaten up so pathetically. Qin Chen leaped up and channeled his Chaotic Holy Body. For a moment, the whole space resonated and the rules of the chaos formed an armor around his body. He sent out a kick and sent the terrifying monster flying several meters outwards. Qin Chen figured that he would have to use an extreme emperor weapon if he wanted to get rid of the monster entirely. Before the monster got to its feet and pounced toward them again, Qin Chen took out the Innate Sword Fetus. He immediately activated it, attempting to awaken the extreme emperor weapon. The divine power within him poured into it frenziedly. In an instant, an imposing emperor¡¯s might emanated from it! The terrifying monster appeared to be rooted to where it stood. Qin Chen wielded the Innate Sword Fetus and charged toward it. Then, he slashed the head of the monster. Unfortunately, even after the monster¡¯s head was chopped off, its head could still move. Its body was not completely dead as well. The head kept rolling on the ground, seemingly attempting to bite Qin Chen again. As for the headless body, it ran aimlessly into the depths before them. The red eye was still in the depths. Even Qin Chen knew what the red eye was. The monster that was not yet completely dead was heading blindly toward it. The very next moment, they heard the sound of an explosion. A bloody mist permeated the air. It was apparent that the headless monster had been crushed by the red eye into a bloody mist. It was too horrifying. Qin Chen¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. If the red eye had attacked him, he would not even have had the time to awaken the extreme emperor weapon. However, the red eye seemed to have seen the extreme emperor weapon in his hand and did not attack them. Qin Chen also didn¡¯t dare to put away the Innate Sword Fetus. If the red eye attacked them again, he wouldn¡¯t be able to react. He then looked at the head of the terrifying monster on the ground. Its head was clearly still alive. Black blood oozed out from its severed neck. It was repulsive. Qin Chen also did not know what the thing was. It was actually stronger than a God-realm expert. Big Scorpion and Yuji came closer. When they saw the head of the terrifying monster, they also broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the monster was immortal and the only way to stop it from attacking them again was to smash it into a bloody mist? The head on the ground was still gnashing its teeth hard, attempting to bite Qin Chen. The latter picked up the head using the Desolate Divine Halberd and flung it into the depths. From within the depths of the white mist, a loud thud could be heard after the head of the monster was thrown into that. It had most likely been crushed into a bloody mist too. From the looks of it, the red eye was far more powerful than what Qin Chen and his companions had imagined. Even a God-realm expert would not be able to survive a blow from it. Exactly what kind of place was this ancient planet? It was so eerie and horrifying. Yuji and Big Scorpion followed closely behind Qin Chen. They did not dare to wander far away from him. They had experienced the terror of the red eye. It could even kill a God-realm expert. Even the terrifying monster, which could not be killed by the extreme emperor weapon, was helpless against the red eye. The former was turned into a bloody mist. ¡°What should we do now?¡± Qin Chen had run out of ideas. Even the Innate Sword Fetus could not kill the terrifying monster. If they returned now, they would have to face countless other similar monsters. On the other hand, if they advanced further, they would come face-to-face with the red eye in the depths of the white mist. Even though the red eye did not attack them, it was hard to say whether it was waiting for a better opportunity to strike while they ventured deeper into its territory. Big Scorpion swallowed with much difficulty. In a trembling voice, he said, ¡°Elder King, I also don¡¯t know what we should do. I will follow your orders.¡± After all, whatever they chose to do, they would still end up dead. They were caught between a rock and a hard place. They were forced to choose one of the options. They would not be safe if they remained here. After the other terrifying monsters finished devouring the corpses, they would definitely track them by scent. The fact that Qin Chen had not thrown off the last monster was the greatest proof of that. However, if they remained where they were, the red eye might attack them again. Qin Chen was now under tremendous pressure. Even though he wielded the extreme emperor weapon, he did not know what to do. It was a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor and yet, it could not even kill the terrifying monster. The white jade celestial bell continued to chime. It seemed to be at the top of the mountain. However, to get there, they had to traverse this white mist. The scary red eye was hidden within the white mist. They did not even know what its true form was. They also could not defend against its attacks, which were extremely powerful. If they were not careful, they would be turned into a bloody mist as well. Yuji and Big Scorpion both fixed their gazes on Qin Chen. They would abide by his decision. After all, both options were full of peril. They seemed to have a slightly higher chance of surviving if they advanced. As long as they could traverse through the white mist safely, they would reach the mountain, where the white jade celestial bell was. The celestial bell seemed to be an extreme weapon. Even if it wasn¡¯t one, it would still have special abilities that could guarantee that those monsters would not attack them. If they wanted to make it out of there alive, they would most likely need to rely on the power of the white jade celestial bell. Hence, Qin Chen decided to traverse the white mist. Chapter 303 - 303 Stone Stele 303 Stone Stele When Qin Chen told them his choice, the big scorpion and Yuji nodded. Even if they had to face a 90% chance of death, they were willing to follow Qin Chen. After all, even if they turned back now, they would still die. Qin Chen nodded and walked in front with the innate sword embryo in his hand. The big scorpion and Yuji followed closely behind. The big scorpion was afraid that he would be killed by the red mist, so he took out a rope, which was made of precious celestial materials and was a Supreme Sage weapon. Then, he tied it around Qin Chen, himself, and Yuji. This way, the three of them could react on time in case of being suddenly attacked. As long as one noticed danger, one could pull the rope and Qin Chen would be able to react immediately. At that moment, the white fog seemed to have dispersed. Although the visibility of the road ahead was still limited, it was indeed much more visible than before. Seeing this, Qin Chen hesitated. Should he walk along the path or not? This change was probably caused by red eyes. But in the end, he still made up his mind. What else could he do? Even if there was a fire pit in front of them, they could only jump in. At the very least, the innate sword embryo could intimidate the red-eyed creature to a certain extent. If it were those terrifying monsters, they would still attack even if Qin Chen cut off their heads. Those monsters were simply unkillable, so the best way was to continue moving forward. They had already walked a long way, but the white fog still hadn¡¯t dispersed. God knows how far they were from the mountain. They didn¡¯t have a choice though. Even if there was a bottomless abyss in front of them, they could only walk on. Compared to the strange and unkillable monsters behind them, Qin Chen and the others were more willing to face the red eyes. After all, the red eyes seemed to have intelligence. It knew that Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon and thus would not take the initiative to attack. At least, up until now, the red eyes had not attacked them after killing the terrifying monster. Qin Chen and the rest walked on the ground that was submerged in the white fog, walking up the mountain step by step. Along the way, they saw many things on the ground. There were human bones, unknown bones, and some weapon fragments. It seemed that a great battle had taken place here. The red eyes were most likely left in the white mist at that time. Qin Chen suddenly thought of something. Those unkillable monsters seemed to have once been humans as well. However, they must have encountered something that caused them to look like neither humans nor ghosts. It had to be said that they were all very powerful. Even a God-realm expert couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from them, just like chicks that could be crushed at will. He did not know what would happen further on, so Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and kept sensing the fluctuations in the surroundings. Currently, he still didn¡¯t know what those strange red eyes were. Whether the creature was a human, a ghost, or a demonic beast was still unknown. He only knew that when those red eyes appeared, the creature had appeared. The white mist must be the red eyes¡¯ resting place. For the creature to be able to stay in the white mist, it must be very powerful and could easily kill those terrifying monsters. Not long after, the white jade celestial bell chimed again at the top of the mountain. The sounds were loud and melodious. It was as if someone was hitting the white jade celestial bell. At the same time, the big scorpion saw the red eyes beside him. He quickly shouted, ¡°Elder King, the red eyes are behind me!¡± Qin Chen immediately turned around with the innate sword embryo in his hand. Unfortunately, he did not see anything. However, he believed in the big scorpion. Those red eyes might have really been behind them just now. They couldn¡¯t do anything about it though. Qin Chen was just one person. He could only guard the front but not the back. If there was any danger, the big scorpion and Yuji would have to inform him. Following this, he continued to move forward but slowed down his footsteps. Yuji and the big scorpion couldn¡¯t take another step forward. The gravity on the ancient planet was very strong, and it was a heavy burden on their bodies to keep walking. However, they didn¡¯t dare to stop even though their bodies were sore and covered in sweat. They knew that the pain was nothing if they were to survive together. The three continued to walk forward, but the fog was getting thicker and thicker as if they were approaching the most terrifying thing in the depths of the white fog. Qin Chen slowly threw out the moonstone in his hand. In a place where visibility was low, he decided that it would be safer to throw out a few more moonstones. Along the way, he kept throwing out moonstones from his storage bag. With that, they could see their way clearly. If the red-eyed creature came again, they would be able to see what it really looked like. However, Yuji¡¯s sharp eyes noticed something unusual. Not long after they left, something behind them seemed to have shattered the moonstones, and the faint light gradually disappeared into the darkness. The moonstones on the path that they had treaded on seemed to be getting less and the light slowly disappeared. It was as if the road was slowly shrouded by white fog again. There was no need to for speculations to even determine who had done such a thing. It must be that red-eye creature who had done it to avoid being exposed. They didn¡¯t see the red-eye creature¡¯s figure clearly either, as if the moonstones had been extinguished in an instant. As they walked further ahead, Qin Chen noticed something unusual. He saw a stone stele in the distance. There seemed to be some words carved on the stone stele. However, the words on the stone stele were unrecognizable. ¡°Why would a stone stele appear here?¡± Qin Chen said with a frown. The big scorpion and Yuji had no idea. They looked at the stone stele as if they were looking at a treasure. Unfortunately, they couldn¡¯t find anything even if they looked at it for their entire lives. The three continued to move forward, but more and more things appeared on the ground. Not only were there human bones, but also demonic beast bones and broken fragments of weapons and magic items. This meant that they were getting closer to the most terrifying place. A great battle must have happened in this place in the past, but for some unknown reason, the place had become so strange. ¡°Could it be a mark left behind by the great battle back then?¡± Even after countless years, this place was still extremely dangerous. Only an existence above the quasi-emperor realm could cause such an impact. If it wasn¡¯t a quasi-emperor, then it must be an ancient great emperor. Coupled with the emperor¡¯s might on the white jade celestial bell, they could make the connection that a battle between ancient great emperors might¡¯ve really occurred here. Chapter 304 - 304 Great Battle 304 Great Battle Only an ancient great emperor would be able to leave behind such a terrifying mark. There was no way someone ordinary would be able to do so. What was this ancient planet? To think that it would be so terrifying that even ancient great emperors had fought here! The battle thus created the strange environment of this ancient planet. For countless years, it was like the realm of the undead. Those terrifying human-like monsters seemed to have suffered some kind of painful experience to become like this, and the source of all this strangeness was in the white fog. It was possible that the pair of red eyes they had seen was the real culprit behind the scenes. Unfortunately, although the red eyes had the power to crush the terrifying monster, they did not take the initiative to attack Qin Chen and the others. It was as if the creature was afraid of the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. After all, it was a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. It was able to erupt with terrifying combat strength, which was enough to intimidate the creature. The target of Qin Chen and the other two was the white jade celestial bell on the mountain. Only by finding the bell would they have a chance to leave this strange ancient planet. The big scorpion didn¡¯t want to stay here any longer. Yuji¡¯s face was also pale. They were both extremely afraid, though the feeling had weakened a lot when they were following Qin Chen. Even with the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen did not dare to let his guard down for even a moment. He was constantly on guard against the red-eyed creature appearing somewhere. At this time, they saw the stone stele under their feet, and the words on it were already unrecognizable. The big scorpion cried out in surprise. The stone stele seemed to be an extremely precious celestial ore. Even in the outside world, it was not easy to obtain. Then, he looked at Qin Chen, who only frowned slightly. In the end, the big scorpion took a deep breath and transformed his arms into a pair of pincers to lift the stone stele! The moment it was pulled out of the ground, the stone stele bloomed with a terrifying light! The entire ancient planet was affected by the light, even places as far as thousands of miles away! Then, Qin Chen looked at the stone stele. He did not expect that the stone stele would hide another secret. The big scorpion was so frightened that he did not dare to move. At this point, he didn¡¯t know what to do with the stone stele in his hand, and his legs were shaking. ¡°Elder King, what¡¯s going on?¡± Then, Qin Chen noticed something. There was an array on the stone stele! He had been unable to recognize it previously because the array patterns engraved on it were incomplete, causing him to mistakenly think that they were words left behind by predecessors. But now that the big scorpion had triggered it, the stone stele burst forth with terrifying power, and the array patterns on it began to flash non-stop! ¡°This should be the core of an array,¡± Qin Chen said slowly. ¡°An array core?¡± The big scorpion still didn¡¯t dare to put it down. Although the stone stele was heavy, he could still bear it for the sake of his life. Qin Chen placed his hand on the stone stele, and the light on the stone stele gradually weakened. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be an array core left behind by some kind of terrifying array.¡± The big scorpion came to a sudden realization. Seeing that Qin Chen was unharmed even after his hand had touched the stone stele, he immediately put the stone stele down. Yuji was quite displeased at the big scorpion. If he hadn¡¯t pulled the stele out of the ground, how could all this have happened? Qin Chen looked at the stone stele. There should be more than one stone stele. It was very likely that there were others. All of them were the array cores of an array and could probably form a peerless array if they were combined and activated. Unfortunately, they did not have the time to see such a terrifying array. Currently, they had to move forward quickly and get out of the white fog. If they waited any longer, God knows what would happen. Although the red eyes had been hiding in the dark and had not attacked them, no one knew if the creature was waiting for an opportunity. To prevent any accidents from happening, Qin Chen quickly urged the big scorpion, Yuji, to continue moving forward. The earlier they passed through the white fog, the earlier they would be safe. The big scorpion and Yuji nodded and followed Qin Chen closely. They continued to move forward, and the mountain road ahead became steeper as if it was connected to the peak of the mountain. However, the more they walked, the more uneasy they felt. No one knew where this feeling of anxiety came from. They didn¡¯t feel anything, but they were just inexplicably flustered. Qin Chen looked at the mountain path that led to the top of the mountain. It was a little rugged, so he wanted the two to stop and rest. After all, it was very painful to withstand the terrifying gravity of the ancient planet. Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, so he naturally did not feel much. In contrast, Yuji and the big scorpion were already on the verge of collapsing. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the big scorpion immediately loosened the rope and was about to sit down when Yuji kicked him. ¡°If we stay here any longer, you might lose your little life,¡± Yuji said. Hearing Yuji¡¯s cold voice, the big scorpion unwillingly put the rope back on and said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s continue.¡± However, at this moment, the three suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the heavens! It was as if a great battle had broken out, and there were even angry roars of fighting in the distance! In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s vigilance reached its peak. He hurriedly brought Yuji and the big scorpion to hide in a corner, squatting under a rock that was half the height of a man. They were planning to observe what was going on. Could it be that there were others on this ancient planet besides them? The experts who had come with them had long hidden. No one had entered the white fog to head to the top of the mountain. As such, the shouts coming from the mountain at this moment must be from someone else! What was the reason for the sudden battle? Could it be for the white jade celestial bell? The big scorpion, who was at the back, cried out in alarm again. He saw the red eyes flash by again. Qin Chen could only squat in the distance, not daring to move at all. He did not know what was ahead of him, but he was certain the red eyes that belonged to a terrifying existence were right behind them. The battle continued for several hours before it finally arrived in front of Qin Chen and the others! A thousand-hand Guanyin was fighting a Buddha from the extraterrestrial region! The extraterrestrial Buddha exuded a terrifying demonic aura. With a raise of his hand, several stars exploded and landed on the thousand-hand Guanyin! The thousand-hand Guanyin¡¯s body also shone brightly with Buddhist light. Following this, like the chanting of scriptures from the Great Path, celestials and demons protected her! At the same time, battles were also breaking out in other places. Those in battle gradually arrived in front of Qin Chen and the others. They saw a terrifying black ape hacking down from the nine heavens with the iron rod it was holding. In an instant, the ground cracked open, and the cracks were thousands of feet long! Chapter 305 - 305 The March of the Ghost Soldiers 305 The March of the Ghost Soldiers In the crack, there was a monster. The countless tentacles of the monster seemed to be some form of amalgamation. However, even after being severely injured by such a devastating attack, it was still alive. It even had the strength to unleash a counterattack toward the black ape. Its tentacles instantly extended hundreds of feet, seemingly attempting to attack the black ape. However, they were smashed by the iron club in the ape¡¯s hands! In a nearby spot, they even witnessed the march of seven mysterious ghosts. The seven ghosts were the ones they saw when they first entered the star field. To their surprise, the ghosts actually appeared right in the place! All the experts involved in the battle were existences at God-realm or above. For some unknown reason, they battled each other to death here. The terrifying scenes left a huge impact on Qin Chen and his companions. Their hearts raced as they felt very nervous. They were unsure whether or not the attacks of the ghosts would land on them. After all, the scenes were too shocking. To their surprise, one of the experts charged towards them along with thousands of celestial flying swords. The aftershock of his attack landed on a boulder behind them. If the attack had hit them, they would surely be crushed into dust. Qin Chen activated the Innate Sword Fetus and drew a defensive stance. Only it could block the terrifying aftershock. As the aftershock spread towards them, it passed through to the boulder behind them. They were completely unharmed. Even the extreme emperor weapon had not been struck. Could their eyes have deceived them? It was indeed as what they saw. The attack seemed to be illusory. However, what was happening before their eyes seemed real. The three of them would not forget the sight before their eyes for the rest of their lives. There were two other experts battling with each other. They actually ended up fighting right in front of the three of them. They exchanged blow after blow, and their attacks also passed through Qin Chen and the other two hundreds of times. Yet, the latter remained completely unharmed. Qin Chen slowly said, ¡°If my guess is correct, this is the march of the ghost soldiers.¡± He continued, ¡°These are the remnant scenes of their battle. However, we still need to be careful. Their attacks still possess their power that has yet to completely dissipate. If the attacks hit us, we might be severely injured.¡± These experts were all top-tier. Qin Chen even suspected one of them to be on the level of a quasi-emperor. The aftershock of a battle between a group of experts was certainly terrifying. They did not know how long it had been since the battle. It was best that they stayed cautious. If they were careless, they would lose their measly lives. Yuji had also seen the march of the ghost soldiers before. There was also the haunting of the ghost soldiers. It was said that the haunting of the ghost soldiers happened when the remnant spirits of the experts did not dissipate. When a living person passed through the area, the remnant spirits would attack them. The combat ability of the remnant spirits was as powerful as that of when the experts were still alive. Quite a lot of people died because of those spirits. On the other hand, the march of the ghost soldiers referred to the scenario where the ghosts attacked, but it posed no harm to the living. However, if Qin Chen and the others stayed there and watched the march for a long period of time, their bodies would be damaged too. The remnant spirits left behind by experts at such a level posed a huge pressure on the souls of the living. It was best that they left immediately. Suddenly, the sky rumbled. With a loud thud, the scene playing before the eyes of Qin Chen and the other two disappeared without a trace. It was as though they had not seen anything. However, the marks and the cracks left by the battle remained. The entire experience was very shocking. It was Qin Chen¡¯s first time encountering the march of the ghost soldiers. ¡°Let¡¯s leave quickly!¡± said Big Scorpion hastily. His voice was full of terror. It was because he saw the pair of red eyes behind them which seemed to be following them. If they were caught, only death awaited them. The red eye could easily hunt the terrifying monsters. It was easy to imagine how powerful it was. They did not know whether Qin Chen¡¯s Innate Sword Fetus could block its attacks or not. When Qin Chen saw the red eye chasing them, he did not dare to act recklessly. He quickly ran forward. Yuji and Big Scorpion followed closely behind him. They were not as fast as the red eye. The red eye seemed proficient in some distance-shrinking techniques. With just a single step, it shortened a great distance between them. If it continued, the red eye would catch up to them in no time. Terrible things would happen when it did. However, the white mist before them still did not dissipate. The road up to the mountain would definitely be perilous. They had no choice. Qin Chen did not know what lay ahead. He quickly untied the rope around his body, allowing Yuji and Big Scorpion to run for their lives while he held the red eye back for a while. As he stopped in his tracks, Qin Chen drew the Innate Sword Fetus and looked toward the red eye. Yuji also stopped in her tracks. She wanted to untie the rope around her body as well. However, Big Scorpion tugged on the rope and said, ¡°Quickly, run. Do you wish to be a burden for Elder King? We are a burden to him, but we will be a greater burden if we stay here. Only if we are safe can he return safely as well!¡± After he said this, he did not wait for Yuji to respond. Instead, he dragged her along as he continued to run forward. The scene where the experts engaged in a fearsome battle had dissipated. They were unaware of what other creepy stuff would be lying ahead, but whatever it was, it would be better than facing the red eye. It was too menacing! A shocking might suddenly erupted from the Innate Sword Fetus in Qin Chen¡¯s hands while he stayed behind. The unleashed emperor¡¯s might seemed to have divided the ancient planet into two halves, separating the chaos into three pure parts. The horrifying red eye stopped in its tracks. It looked somewhat hesitant as it stared at Qin Chen. The latter was not afraid of it at all. He raised the Innate Sword Fetus and shouted, ¡°Today, I will be hunting demons. I will massacre anything that comes before this weapon of the ancient great emperor!¡± The heavens seemed to respond to Qin Chen as the imposing emperor¡¯s might emanated from him and pressured the red eye. The red eye, which was hiding in the white mist, easily brushed off the emperor¡¯s might. However, it did not manage to block the devastating attack that burst forth. The attack sent the red eye flying deep into the white mist. Right after, Qin Chen seemed to hear a loud roar in his mind. The will of the red eye was probably enraged. The red eye still did not seize the initiative to attack Qin Chen. The latter was already prepared to fight it to the death. The white mist became thicker and thicker. The pair of red eyes glowed brighter deep within the white mist, its piercing gaze seemingly penetrating the eons. Qin Chen sensed that the white mist was acting on him, treating him as its prey. It was slowly engulfing him. The space he could move in became smaller and smaller. Chapter 306 - 306 Heavily Injured 306 Heavily Injured The white mist had even shrouded his body, trying to turn him into a cocoon. Even with his extreme emperor weapon, it was difficult for Qin Chen to cut through the white mist that seemed to be ethereal. Gradually, Qin Chen felt that it was difficult to even breathe. His body seemed to have been firmly imprisoned by the white mist. ¡°Shit!¡± Qin Chen saw that the red-eyed creature in the distance was rushing toward him. The latter traveled miles in seconds, and instantly expanded many times as if it had morphed into a huge divine body. Such a technique was similar to the heavenly transformation of the Taoists. Prince Zhan¡¯s battle sage ape lineage had such an emperor-level supernormal knowledge, but Qin Chen was filled with despair when he saw the red-eyed creature using such supernormal knowledge. He wondered if he would die under the red-eyed creature¡¯s all-out attack. At this point, Qin Chen finally saw the red-eyed creature¡¯s true face. It was a huge and ferocious monster that was covered in black patterns and had glowing red eyes. On its body were the heads of many humans and special races, as well as a piece of tattered clothing that was on the verge of falling apart. Its aura was extremely pure and evil, causing Qin Chen¡¯s heart to tremble uncontrollably. He gripped the innate sword embryo in his hand, but he did not know what to do. The red-eyed creature took huge steps through the white fog and stood in front of him, its red eyes shining with a demonic and evil light! It was as if the creature was the source of all the strangeness on this ancient planet. The big scorpion and Yuji had already reached the border of the white fog after leaving first, but they had waited for a long time and Qin Chen hadn¡¯t arrived. As such, they had not taken the last step to completely leave the white fog. They had a feeling that if they left now, they would never see Qin Chen again. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the Elder King come yet?¡± The big scorpion was so anxious that it kept pacing back and forth. Yuji¡¯s pretty face was also extremely solemn, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Qin Chen had stayed behind alone to face the terrifying red-eyed creature, and he still hadn¡¯t arrived. Had something happened to him? At this moment, Qin Chen wanted to make a move, but he realized that he could not move at all. It was as if he had been wrapped in a cocoon by the white mist, and it was constantly entangling him. The extreme emperor weapon vibrated, but it still couldn¡¯t remove the white mist cocoon. The red-eyed creature had already reached Qin Chen. It looked at Qin Chen and seemed to be ready to attack him. The red-eyed creature raised its palm which looked nothing like a human¡¯s palm. It seemed to have mutated into five sharp giant claws! The sharp giant claws swiped down at Qin Chen as if they wanted to tear him in half! Qin Chen watched as the claws seemed to tear through the void, even shattering the space. Facing such a terrifying attack when he was now in a desperate situation where he couldn¡¯t use the innate sword embryo, was he going to die? At this moment, the white jade celestial bell on the mountain seemed to chime again. For a moment, the chimes of the bell were solemn and loud. As soon as the bell rang, the red-eyed creature¡¯s attention was attracted and its giant claws stopped in mid-air. Cold sweat broke out on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead. He was constantly thinking about how to break free from the cocoon. The white mist seemed to have a life of its own, wrapping tighter and tighter around him. If this went on, even if the red-eyed creature did not do anything, he would be trapped in the cocoon formed by the white mist. As time passed, the chimes of the bell became weaker as if it was about to disappear. Qin Chen finally thought of a solution. He poured all of his remaining divine power into the innate sword embryo, and the emperor weapon instantly burst out with a monstrous emperor¡¯s might! However, the cocoon remained unmoved, because Qin Chen had no way to move the innate sword embryo. Qin Chen abruptly let go, and the innate sword embryo slipped from his hand, falling to the ground. During this process, it also cut the cocoon that was made of white mist! In an instant, Qin Chen seized the opportunity and broke free. He activated his Chaotic Holy Body and chaos circulated his body, isolating him from the white mist. Then, he grabbed the innate sword embryo on the ground and slashed forward. To make a move first was to take the initiative and gain the upper hand! He had to get rid of the red-eyed creature first. Otherwise, the white mist would only continue to multiply and trap him here. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand exploded with terrifying power. It turned into a sharp light, shaking the void and shattering the space. A streak of sword energy that was hundreds of meters long suddenly slashed at the terrifying red-eyed creature! The red-eyed creature seemed to have sensed the danger as well. It clawed out, only to be slashed by the innate sword embryo. Its huge claw seemed to have been split into two and blood dripped from it. The blood seemed to contain a terrifying pressure as it dripped onto the ground, creating a huge pit. It was extremely terrifying! Qin Chen could not even imagine what kind of creature this terrifying red-eyed creature was. However, he had no other choice. He circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra and condensed the rules of chaos that burst out in his hands. Following this, Qin Chen threw out a punch. One should know that his punch was enough to hold off against God-realm experts. It landed heavily on the terrifying red-eyed creature¡¯s body! Unfortunately, the creature¡¯s body seemed to be cast from some kind of immortal ore. Only a dull thud could be heard, and the creature seemed unscathed. The terrifying red-eyed creature opened its mouth as if it wanted to say something, but in the end, it only made a gurgling sound as if it was growling. The pair of eyes continued to launch spiritual attacks at Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power had long reached the level of a God-realm expert, so he was not afraid at all. However, when the huge pressure landed on his mind, Qin Chen realized that he was wrong, very wrong. To think the red-eyed creature¡¯s spiritual power was this terrifying! His mind was completely suppressed, and there was no way for him to even turn the situation around. Qin Chen abruptly used the innate sword embryo to slash out. After that, he turned around and left with a ghostly movement technique. The red-eyed creature was simply too terrifying. However, how could the red-eyed creature let Qin Chen escape? It struck out a palm, which formed a huge black palm shadow as tall as a small mountain in the void, slapping toward Qin Chen¡¯s back! Qin Chen had no choice but to run with all his might. However, he was no match for the speed of the giant palm and the attack landed heavily on his body. Almost instantly, Qin Chen felt a tearing pain. Dozens of his bones were broken, but he couldn¡¯t do anything about it now. He had to run away as soon as possible, or he would die here. The most unfortunate thing was that if Qin Chen had broken through to the God-realm and used his extreme emperor weapon, he might have been able to kill the red-eyed creature. However, he was now only at level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm, so he could not achieve such a feat. Chapter 307 - 307 The Chaotic Heavenly Emperors Blood Essence 307 The Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s Blood Essence Under the palm attack, Qin Chen vomited blood. However, he also took advantage of the huge impact to speed up and managed to leave the red-eyed creature far behind. He still did not dare to be careless though. After all, the red-eyed creature had a strange movement technique that allowed it to travel miles in seconds. It was simply terrifying! What he needed to do now was to run as fast as he could until he was out of the range of the white mist. Qin Chen guessed that the white mist must be the red-eyed creature¡¯s habitat. The red-eyed creature could probably only survive in the white mist. As long as he left the white mist, he should be able to get rid of the red-eyed creature completely. Along the way, the red-eyed creature did not attack him. Now that the two had made moves against each other, the red-eyed creature knew Qin Chen¡¯s true strength as well. Although he had split the red-eyed creature¡¯s palm in half with his sword, the red-eyed creature did not seem to feel any pain. Instead, when the latter¡¯s palm hit Qin Chen¡¯s body, dozens of bones had been broken. Qin Chen could feel the tearing pain in his body with every step he took. Some of his broken bones even pierced through his skin, exposing white bones while fresh blood flowed from his body to the ground, dyeing the path red. He had to run. Otherwise, it would be a sure death for him if the red-eyed creature caught up to him. The latter was too terrifying. Fortunately, he had let Yuji and the big scorpion escape in advance. Otherwise, either one or both of them would have been dead. Qin Chen continued to run forward. The intense pain in his body continuously stimulated his soul. In the end, he managed to escape to the edge of the white mist. The big scorpion and Yuji had been waiting there for a long time. They were excited to finally see the Elder King, but Qin Chen¡¯s condition didn¡¯t seem good. His body was covered in blood, and many parts of his body had caved in. Broken bones pierced through his skin, and blood was flowing down his body. He looked like a person on the verge of death. They had never seen the Elder King in such a sorry state. The big scorpion and Yuji rushed to Qin Chen and caught him. They could feel that almost all the bones in Qin Chen¡¯s body had been broken with only a few good ones left. Under such circumstances, ordinary people would have long been unable to move. However, Qin Chen had steeled himself and ran all the way here with perseverance. ¡°Run!¡± Qin Chen spat out one word with difficulty. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s miserable state, the big scorpion and Yuji did not dare to stay in this place any longer. They hurriedly placed Qin Chen¡¯s hands on their shoulders and left with him. They rushed out of the edge of the white fog. Finally, there was a pile of ruins in front of them that was not shrouded in the white fog. When they turned around, they found that the red-eyed creature in the white fog was chasing after them again. The three were shocked. Could it be that the red-eyed creature was going to kill them today? Fortunately for them, the red-eyed creature could not leave the white mist. At that moment, the big scorpion and Yuji saw the red-eyed creature¡¯s true appearance. It was a ferocious giant. At this moment, its body was exuding a faint black aura, and one of its palms had been split in half. Seeing the injured red-eyed creature, the two realized that it was probably Qin Chen who had injured it. The red-eyed creature lingered at the edge of the white mist for a long time, unwilling to leave. The big scorpion, Qin Chen, and Yuji heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally avoided this disaster. However, Qin Chen¡¯s current state was extremely miserable. He probably wouldn¡¯t be able to move in a short time. They could only stay where they were. None of the bones in Qin Chen¡¯s body was fine. Even though he had the insanely strong Chaotic Holy Body, he couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow from the red-eyed creature. Rather, he was already very lucky to be able to survive. After all, even a God-realm expert might fall at the hands of the red-eyed creature. When Qin Chen looked around, he immediately took out an array board from his storage bag and asked Yuji to set it up. At least in case of any danger, the array could still resist it. Yuji immediately set up the array, and Qin Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. He lay on the ground, unable to move at all. The big scorpion fed him a spiritual pill, which would help his bones to slowly heal. After Qin Chen consumed the spiritual pill, he felt that his body could no longer hold on, and he started vomiting large mouthfuls of blood. Tears flowed down Yuji¡¯s face when she saw this. The big scorpion was also extremely anxious. He was afraid that Qin Chen would not be able to make it. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly heard a voice in his mind. [Ding!] [Detected that the current location is filled with divinity. Would you like to check in?] Unable to move, Qin Chen muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in.¡± [Congratulations to the host for checking in to the Emperor Calamity Planet. You have received three drops of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence.] [Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence: The blood essence left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor in the past. It is to be given to the fated person. After devouring it, the Chaotic Holy Body will advance and complete the transformation to become the most perfect Chaotic Holy Body.] ¡°The perfect Chaotic Holy Body?¡± Qin Chen was somewhat surprised. He did not expect to be able to check in here. Could it be that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had been here before? Why was this ancient planet called the Emperor Calamity Planet? Could it be that an emperor had suffered a calamity here? Following this, three drops of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. He immediately swallowed one drop to refine it. The big scorpion and Yuji didn¡¯t see this. After swallowing a drop of blood essence left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Qin Chen felt as if his body was about to burn in flames. His meridians were constantly circulating, and the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth was rapidly absorbed into his body which was now like a vortex sucking away all the spiritual energy in the surroundings! After that, he looked at his body. He could clearly feel that his broken bones were now healed. All this had happened in just a few breaths. It was simply unbelievable! Qin Chen continued to lie down for a while. When he stood up, Yuji was still crying. The big scorpion exclaimed, ¡°Elder King, your body¡­¡± Qin Chen slowly said, ¡°My body has already recovered.¡± The big scorpion and Yuji were dumbfounded as if they had discovered some shocking secret. One had to know that Qin Chen had been on the verge of death just now. How could he recover in an instant? This was simply unrealistic. But now, Qin Chen was standing in front of them, and they could not see any signs of injury, other than the traces of blood left behind on his body. The big scorpion jumped up in excitement as if he had found a treasure. He was sure that Qin Chen had some kind of treasure that could bring people back to life. Otherwise, even a quasi-emperor would find it impossible to recover to his peak state in such a short time and have all his injuries healed. Chapter 308 - 308 Skeleton Giant 308 Skeleton Giant Other than the explanation that Qin Chen had used the most precious divine medicine to recover, what else could it be? Yuji was also in disbelief. Having been born in the vast cosmic, even though she had cultivated to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm, she had never heard of such a mysterious happening. She simply had no idea how Qin Chen had recovered. Qin Chen put away the remaining two drops of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence in his palm. These two drops of blood essence could very likely save his life at a critical moment. They were rare treasures! The blood essence of an ancient great emperor¡­ Even in the entire world, the sons and daughters of the ancient great emperors and heavenly sovereigns might not possess the blood essence of their fathers. Seeing that Qin Chen had recovered, Yuji wiped away the tears on her face and smiled. Then, Qin Chen looked at the big scorpion. The latter called him to the side sneakily and said, ¡°Elder King, what treasure did you use just now? How come I¡¯ve never seen you use it before?¡± Qin Chen kicked the big scorpion¡¯s butt, sending him to the side. ¡°This isn¡¯t the most important thing right now. What¡¯s important is what should we do next. Everyone can see how terrifying the red-eyed creature in the white mist was. The place we¡¯re going to now is at the top of the mountain. I wonder what kind of dangers are there.¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion and Yuji were silent. They knew that without Qin Chen, they would have died in the red-eyed creature¡¯s hands. The red-eyed creature had been so terrifying that Qin Chen could not kill it even with his extreme emperor weapon. Instead, he almost lost his life. They would definitely encounter other dangers on this mountain, which might be even more terrifying than the red-eyed creature. However, they had no choice. They could only keep moving forward. If they did not, they would only be waiting for death. As such, Qin Chen looked at the big scorpion and Yuji. The two of them said, ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s continue moving.¡± ¡°We have to leave sooner or later, anyway,¡± The big scorpion put on his most precious armor, which he had obtained in the Demon Emperor Tomb. Yuji also took out her long sword. The three of them were ready to move forward. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and walked in front. Yuji and the big scorpion followed. Although there was no more white mist, a piece of ruins had appeared in front of them. The ruins were huge as if there had once been an area of palace-like celestial pavilions. As for why such palaces would appear here, it was probably related to the great war back then. Since Qin Chen had obtained the blood essence left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor here, it was enough to prove that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had also been here in the past. There was also the possibility that the white jade celestial bell was an extreme emperor weapon, though it was a pity they didn¡¯t know which great emperor it belonged to. In history, there had never been an ancient great emperor who used a celestial bell as an extreme emperor weapon. Suddenly, a thought came to their minds, ¡°Could it be that a great emperor encountered something when he was refining the extreme emperor weapon and died here? Could the white jade celestial bell thus be left here?¡± Thinking of this, the big scorpion could not help but nod, ¡°That¡¯s a possibility.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve lived in the cosmic for so long,¡± Yuji said, ¡°But I¡¯ve never heard of an extreme emperor weapon left behind here by a great emperor.¡± However, this was clearly a place where an ancient great emperor had once been. There had been another great emperor besides the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The aura of that great emperor was very similar to the fluctuations that Qin Chen had felt at the bottom of the Emperor Burial Abyss. It was very familiar, so he asked the big scorpion to sense it as well. The big scorpion exclaimed, ¡°This aura does seem to belong to the one below the Emperor Burial Abyss. Could it be that after the battle at the Emperor Burial Abyss, the nameless great emperor came here to refine the white jade celestial bell?¡± In the end, the great emperor may have encountered some kind of disaster here, which maybe caused his death or departure, leaving the white jade celestial bell here. The white jade celestial bell should also be an extreme emperor weapon. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been able to fly back to this ancient planet after searching for so long in the cosmic. Thinking of this, Qin Chen nodded. They had discovered many terrifying things in the ruins. There was a huge footprint that had stepped on a pavilion, turning it into a huge pit. Some celestial towers were split in half by a sword. It was enough to imagine how terrifying the battle on the Emperor Calamity Planet was back then. It was possible that these were just imprints left behind by the aftermath of the great battle back then, and they alone had caused a destructive blow to this place. Qin Chen searched the place carefully and found many skeletons. Without exception, all of them had turned into white bones. However, these white bones were extremely hard. God knows how many years had passed, but they were still here. Qin Chen could feel that these bones were actually comparable to Supreme Sage weapons! What kind of people could leave behind such hard bones? Since there were so many bones here, could it be that they were a group of terrifying experts? The big scorpion seemed to have realized something and was trembling. Yuji followed his trembling line of sight and saw a huge skeleton giant! The skeleton giant seemed to be waking up. Its body was pieced together from the bones on the ground, and there seemed to be two balls of flames flashing in its eyes, which looked extremely eerie! The skeleton giant slowly stood up. From the ruins, it seemed to be a giant as tall as a small mountain! The big scorpion¡¯s cry of surprise caught Qin Chen¡¯s attention. He turned around and saw the skeleton giant standing among the ruins. The giant skeleton seemed to have been woken up by Qin Chen and the others. It picked up a huge white bone club made of countless bones from the ground and ruthlessly smashed it at the three of them. If this white bone club were to hit, it might be able to directly smash one into meat paste! Seeing this, Qin Chen immediately reacted. Using a terrifying movement technique, he dashed forward and stood in front of Yuji and the big scorpion. He activated his Chaotic Holy Body and unleashed his divine power. The innate sword embryo in his hand instantly released a shocking emperor¡¯s might, like a scorching sun crashing into the giant bone stick! The white bone club was smashed back into the giant¡¯s hand. In an instant, the giant made up of countless white bones took a huge step forward, leaving deep pits on the ground. The ruins under it were shaking. It suddenly punched out, and the punch seemed to penetrate through the void for thousands of feet, whistling with a terrifying impact. Even with an extreme emperor weapon in hand, Qin Chen was still terrified. Chapter 309 - 309 Follow 309 Follow A skeleton giant. What kind of monster was this? Why was this ancient planet filled with strange things? The terrifying monsters from before, the red-eyed creature just now, and the skeleton giant now were enough to make this place a forbidden land. If they appeared together, this planet would no longer be just a forbidden land, but a land of death. This place didn¡¯t seem to be somewhere they should be. But now, Qin Chen, the big scorpion, and Yuji could only brace themselves and continue forward. After all, if they wanted to leave this place, they could only find a way through the white jade celestial bell. The fact that the white jade celestial bell could leave the ancient planet meant that they could leave the ancient planet together with the bell. It was impossible for them to do it themselves. After all, the gravitational forces on this ancient planet were simply terrifying. They just could not leave. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo and instantly slashed out. They would only have a chance to leave if they could destroy this skeleton giant. Otherwise, even if they didn¡¯t die in the hands of these strange creatures, they would die of old age here. Perhaps after they died, they would become like those terrifying human-shaped monsters too. Yuji and the big scorpion could not just stand by and watch Qin Chen fight the skeleton giant alone. The two of them launched their attacks at the skeleton giant as well. However, the skeleton giant seemed to be made of divine weapons and magic items. They could not break its bones at all. Two balls of flames burned in the skeleton giant¡¯s eyes, making it look like an undead killer. It raised its white bone club and smashed it toward Qin Chen. Like a meteorite from outer space, the white bone club tore the void, coming down with a terrifying gravitational force and smashing a huge pit in the ruins! Qin Chen was right in this huge pit. He couldn¡¯t help but take in a sharp intake of cold air. The skeleton giant¡¯s strength had reached an unimaginable level. If not for the innate sword embryo, he would have been turned into a pile of meat paste by now. Qin Chen¡¯s legs sank deep into the ruins. The innate sword embryo in his hand burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, blocking the white bone club. Even the extreme emperor weapon found it difficult to leave a mark on the skeleton giant. It was hard to imagine what existences had left behind these bones. To think there were so many of them, and they were all indestructible. The skeleton giant lifted its heavy club and swung it down again as if it would not stop until Qin Chen was smashed to death. Qin Chen felt the power of the skeleton giant. There was no divine power contained in the latter¡¯s attacks. It was a mysterious force that was controlling it. This mysterious power should be the aftermath of the great battle between the experts back then. Even now, it had not disappeared after countless years. That was how the skeleton giant was born. Therefore, to defeat the skeleton giant, he had to dispel the strange power in its body. If he didn¡¯t, the skeleton giant would chase them to their deaths. Right now, Qin Chen and the other two had no other choice. If they returned, they would have to face the red-eyed creature, who also had extremely terrifying strength and could take care of them easily. If not for the blood essence left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Qin Chen might still be lying on the ground, unable to move. On this ancient planet, even if he had an extreme emperor weapon, he could still die. After all, even a God-realm expert would die on this ancient planet if they were not careful. Qin Chen roared and used all his strength to resuscitate the weapon God with the innate sword embryo. He also pulled out his leg from the ruins and scuttled off in a hurry. Otherwise, the bone club would hit him again. As he thought of this, Qin Chen gathered the divine power in his body and injected it into the innate sword embryo. With that, the weapon God in the innate sword embryo was finally revived again! The terrifying emperor¡¯s might stunned the skeleton giant. The two flames in its eyes flickered as if it recognized the terrifying emperor¡¯s might. Then, the weapon God from the innate sword embryo transformed into an imposing and handsome figure who exuded terrifying emperor¡¯s might! It was as if an ancient great emperor had transmigrated across the river of time and space. It was the appearance of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The weapon God had reenacted the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s figure in the mortal world. In an instant, the terrifying rules of chaos surged like a tidal wave. The skeleton giant had no way of dodging and was struck by the attack. The two balls of fire in its eyes seemed to burn with anger. However, the rules of chaos that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had struck out carried the emperor¡¯s might and fixed the skeleton giant in place, making it unable to move. At this moment, the flames in the skeleton giant¡¯s eyes seemed to have stopped flickering and were burning slowly. The skeleton giant spoke. Its voice was like a baby who had just learned how to speak. Yuji and the big scorpion¡¯s faces turned pale. Could it be that the skeleton giant still had consciousness? What a joke! This was a dead thing that should have died long ago. Even Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were wide in disbelief. Could it be that this skeleton giant really still had a remnant of its consciousness? ¡°I, follow you! Don¡¯t kill¡­¡± The giant skeleton said with great difficulty. At this moment, the weapon God¡¯s attack had already landed on its body, heavily bombarding the white bones. It didn¡¯t brandish its white bone club to resist but was knocked down and smashed to the ground. Qin Chen and the other two were in disbelief. The skeleton giant seemed to be talking to the weapon God. The weapon God¡¯s current appearance that was uncanny to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor seemed to have made it think that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was really here. The strange power within the skeleton giant¡¯s body had absorbed the remnant will and it knew very well how terrifying the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was. That was why it chose to lower its head. Qin Chen immediately told the weapon God to stop while he looked at the skeleton giant. The skeleton giant was very powerful, even more so than those God-realm experts. Ordinary God-realm experts would not be able to withstand the skeleton giant¡¯s attacks. If he could subdue this skeleton giant, would that mean that he would have another helper? Such a terrifying helper was extremely rare. Moreover, this skeleton giant could help them survive. God knows what they would encounter later on. If the skeleton giant could open a path, they would be in less danger. In the skeleton giant¡¯s opinion, if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor were to make a move, it would be annihilated. Therefore, it chose to bow its head for survival. However, it didn¡¯t know that the figure before it wasn¡¯t the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was just an illusion of the latter¡¯s weapon. Chapter 310 - 310 Ancient God 310 Ancient God If the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had come in person, the skeleton giant would have been blown to pieces. It wouldn¡¯t have been as simple as just falling. It was obvious that the skeleton giant was extremely afraid of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Qin Chen tried to communicate with the skeleton giant and found that there was no difficulty in using his spiritual power to communicate with the skeleton giant¡¯s consciousness. The skeleton giant had already stopped attacking and had chosen to follow Qin Chen. This was definitely a good thing. After that, Qin Chen asked what other terrifying existences were ahead. The skeleton giant told Qin Chen everything he knew. In front was the body of an ancient God, but that body had already gained spiritual wisdom. The spiritual wisdom that had been born was very ordinary, even inferior to that of a three or four-year-old toddler, but the ancient God was still very terrifying. The skeleton giant had once gone forward and was almost torn apart by the resurrected ancient God. This made the skeleton giant extremely afraid of the resurrected ancient God. After all, if it were to go again, it might be torn to pieces by the other party. After finding out about this matter, Qin Chen furrowed his brows. Could it be that a battle between great emperors had really broken out here? To think an ancient God¡¯s corpse had survived. Moreover, that ancient God¡¯s corpse had even developed spiritual wisdom and had thus resurrected. Even if the other party was no longer an ancient God, he could still rely on the body of the ancient God to easily blow up Qin Chen and the others. Even the powerful skeleton giant was terrified in front of the ancient God. That being said, the skeleton giant was more afraid of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The weapon God had already returned to the innate sword embryo. Holding the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen looked at the skeleton giant and learned of its origin. It was originally a mass of energy without any consciousness, left behind by a terrifying existence. However, it had devoured the remnant of another soul here, and from there, it had given birth to divine sentience and consciousness. The only thing it remembered clearly was how terrifying the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was. Thus, it decided to surrender to Qin Chen in the end. After all, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was too terrifying. In its impression, the other party was extremely dangerous and much more terrifying than the ancient God. With this, Qin Chen used the innate sword embryo to subdue the skeleton giant. He walked to Yuji and the big scorpion. The two had no idea what Qin Chen and the skeleton giant were talking about, but it seemed that the latter had no intention of killing them. The big scorpion and Yuji were so shocked that their mouths were agape. To think there really had been ancient great emperors who had fought here, and that battle was extremely brutal. An ancient God had fallen, and his corpse had already gained spiritual wisdom. ¡°How can it be so terrifying?¡± The big scorpion was amazed, and Yuji also looked at the skeleton giant. To think the birth of the skeleton giant was only because a wisp of energy had devoured a remnant will. Qin Chen nodded. According to the skeleton giant, the bones that made up his body were left behind by some peerless experts in the past. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t possibly have been so powerful that it could withstand the attack of an extreme emperor weapon. Now, if they wanted to come into contact with the white jade celestial bell, there was only one obstacle in front of them, and that was the terrifying ancient God. Only by defeating him could they see the white jade celestial bell. How terrifying was an ancient God? Such an existence was only a step away from becoming an ancient great emperor. Even if only his physical body was left behind, he was destined to be terrifying. He might not be weaker than an extreme emperor weapon. After all, extreme emperor weapons were just weapons left behind by the ancient great emperors, while the ancient God was a living person. Although the ancient God had died, his physical body had been resurrected and consciousness had been formed. In that case, even if Qin Chen and the others had the skeleton giant, they had no chance of winning. Originally, Qin Chen and the others thought that the skeleton giant was already terrifying enough. They did not expect that there would be another ancient God¡¯s body waiting for them ahead. Even if Qin Chen activated the extreme emperor weapon and resurrected the weapon with all his might, he would most likely not be the other party¡¯s opponent. ¡°Elder King!¡± Yuji looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°No matter what, we still have to give it a try.¡± Indeed, if they didn¡¯t try and stayed here, the final result would be to die of old age. To leave, there was no other way. In the end, Qin Chen decided to test the ancient God¡¯s strength. With that, Qin Chen, the big scorpion, Yuji, and the skeleton giant moved forward. According to the skeleton giant, the ancient God¡¯s territory was right in front. Even without Qin Chen¡¯s warning, the big scorpion and Yuji were ready to fight. Qin Chen also released his spiritual will, which was at the level of a God-realm expert, to scan the surroundings and find the ancient God. Their only advantage was that the spiritual wisdom of the ancient God was only at the level of a child, while they were experienced and astute people. In this regard, they still had the advantage. A terrifying fluctuation erupted. They saw that the ancient God was actually playing with the White jade celestial bell. The white jade celestial bell didn¡¯t have any fluctuations at all as if it was the ancient God¡¯s toy. When the ancient God saw that someone had come, he was pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw the skeleton giant, his interest was even stronger. After all, he had fought with the skeleton giant before. He had almost torn the skeleton giant apart, and now the skeleton giant had dared to come back. This ancient God seemed to be an expert on the human race. Unfortunately, the original soul in his body had died, and the spiritual wisdom that had been born was only a weak consciousness that could not be compared to the original. The current ancient God couldn¡¯t even use the rules of Heaven and Earth that the original ancient God could use back when he was alive. The former couldn¡¯t use many of the latter¡¯s offensive techniques and supernormal knowledge as well. He could only use his strong physical body to fight. Looking at the three creatures that looked similar to him, the ancient God¡¯s eyes seemed to light up. He probably thought that they were of the same kind. The ancient God was very curious and flew over directly. His powerful body actually tore the void when he came over! This scene fell into the eyes of Qin Chen and the others. It was just terrifying and unbelievable. Just the ancient God¡¯s physical body alone could tear the void. How terrifying would he be if he was at his peak? He could probably destroy a planet with a punch and kill countless creatures with a thought. The ancient God flew toward Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen¡¯s mind was frantically thinking about how to deal with the former. He immediately thought of something. Perhaps he could use a spiritual attack. In comparison, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power was in the God realm, while the spiritual wisdom born in the ancient God¡¯s body was just a very weak consciousness. Chapter 311 - 311 Obliterating the Consciousness 311 Obliterating the Consciousness Could he control this ancient God if he used his spiritual power? Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to try. The ancient God had already pounced over. Qin Chen looked at the ancient God, silently praying in his heart that he must succeed. Then, he used his spiritual power on the ancient God. Yuji and the big scorpion looked at the former nervously. Right now, Qin Chen had neither activated his innate sword embryo nor did he do anything. He just stood there, which made others think of the terrible consequences. If the ancient God were to charge over, it was very likely that Qin Chen¡¯s body would be blown into smithereens. After all, such a figure could tear the void apart just by moving. With such terrifying combat force, even if one was simply standing next to him, one would still suffer. The two did not know what was going on with the Elder King for him to have no reaction at all. But in fact, Qin Chen had already attacked the ancient God with his spiritual power. The spiritual power landed on the ancient God almost instantly. The ancient God seemed to feel intense pain and stopped halfway. He landed on the ground and kept hitting the ground while holding his head. The scene looked extremely strange. The big scorpion cried out in alarm. He finally understood that Qin Chen was using his spiritual power to deal with the ancient God. It seemed to have worked. The spiritual attack was impossible for the ancient God to dodge. After all, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power was equivalent to a God-realm expert. He could easily control the ancient God¡¯s soul. No matter how powerful the latter¡¯s body was, without a soul, he was just a dead object. Without a soul, there would be no danger. But now, it seemed that the ancient God was about to go berserk from being provoked. Although he didn¡¯t know where the attack came from, he could guess that it was the doing of those in front of him. After all, before they arrived, the ancient God had never suffered such pain. With this, he turned his attention to Qin Chen and the others. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s mind moved, and he cursed in his heart, ¡°Shit!¡± The ancient God beelined over. He tore through the void almost instantly and arrived in front of them. Then, he threw a punch! Qin Chen immediately ordered the skeleton giant to stand in front of them. The skeleton giant took a big step forward, and just as the fist was about to land on Qin Chen, it finally blocked it. With a boom, the indestructible white bones were shattered, and many large pits appeared. It was extremely terrifying. So this was the power of an ancient God? Just by relying on his physical body, he already had such terrifying power. Moreover, it seemed that the spiritual wisdom in the body could not fully control the body. It was a good time for Qin Chen and the others to make their move. The flames in the skeleton giant¡¯s eyes flickered. It seemed to have sensed that its body was being destroyed as the ancient God¡¯s fist landed on its body crazily. With just a few punches, the indestructible skeleton giant¡¯s bones were broken one by one, and it looked like it was about to fall apart. Yuji and the big scorpion cried out in surprise. Qin Chen had no choice but to go all out and bet on it. He placed all his spiritual power on the consciousness of the ancient God. Almost instantly, the terrifying ancient God hugged his head again and knelt on the ground. He let out a painful wail, making it clear that whatever he was feeling now was terrible. When Qin Chen saw this, he was shocked. However, he saw also that the ancient God seemed to be on the verge of madness. His fists pounded the ground, and the ground actually cracked open, creating a crack that was thousands of feet deep! Fortunately, the skeleton giant was able to withstand it. If it were Qin Chen who had taken the attack, he would have died on the spot and his body would have been shattered into nothingness. At this point, Qin Chen had already found the ancient God¡¯s soul that was now extremely weak. He had two choices. One was to destroy the other party¡¯s spiritual wisdom and thus obliterate any chances of the other party making such a dangerous move again. The other option was to control the other party¡¯s soul. If Qin Chen did that, the only downside was that the other party might suddenly go out of control. If he suddenly attacked Qin Chen from behind, Qin Chen would probably die before he could even react. After all, the other party had the strong body of an ancient God, and every move he made was terrifying. At the thought of this, Qin Chen finally made a decision. He would erase the consciousness of this ancient God and make his soul collapse. This way, there would be no threats to himself. No matter what, safety was his top priority. Following this, Qin Chen used his terrifying spiritual power to suppress the ancient God¡¯s soul. If the other party was really an ancient God, Qin Chen would not have dared to do so, but now, the ancient God¡¯s soul had already dissipated and the newly born spiritual wisdom was no match for Qin Chen. After a while, the ancient God let out a miserable cry and his soul was wiped away. He fell straight to the ground and no longer moved. The big scorpion and Yuji were shocked when they saw this. They didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to take care of the ancient God so quickly. Qin Chen could not just leave such a terrifying body here. After all, if it gave birth to spiritual wisdom again or was taken by someone else, it would be a disaster. He looked at the big scorpion. The big scorpion was obviously unwilling to give up his body and stay in the body of the ancient God. As for Yuji, it was even more impossible. The ancient God was a man¡¯s body, so she would not enter. As such, Qin Chen looked at the skeleton giant. At this moment, the skeleton giant¡¯s body had been completely destroyed by the ancient God. Even if it continued to stay here, it would probably fall apart soon. There were not many bones left in the ruins for it to rebuild itself. Qin Chen used his spiritual power to communicate with the skeleton giant. The skeleton giant nodded in surprise. It was willing to possess the ancient God¡¯s body. The skeleton giant was obviously much stronger than the ancient God¡¯s consciousness. At the very least, it could keep up with Qin Chen¡¯s thoughts. Therefore, Qin Chen was not worried that the skeleton giant would suddenly attack him and send him to heaven. The skeleton giant walked with difficulty to the ancient God¡¯s side as the bones on its body kept falling off. Then, the two wisps of flames in its eyes merged and rushed toward the ancient God¡¯s forehead. A terrifying aura was emitted. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. Could it be that the skeleton giant¡¯s consciousness had not successfully possessed the ancient God¡¯s body? Chapter 312 - 312 The War God, Whitey 312 The War God, Whitey However, it was obvious that they were wrong. The giant skeleton quickly took over the ancient God¡¯s body. The body¡¯s heart started beating as if it was alive due to the new consciousness. Seeing this, Qin Chen was excited. One must know that this was the body of an ancient God. After the giant skeleton took over the ancient God¡¯s body, it had become extremely terrifying. In other words, Qin Chen now had a super fighter who would do whatever he asked it to do. How could he not be happy? Then, Qin Chen gave the skeleton giant a new name, Whitey. Hearing this name, Whitey seemed to like it very much. On the other hand, the big scorpion shook its head, ¡°Whitey? It doesn¡¯t sound domineering at all. It¡¯s not as great as the identity of an ancient God.¡± However, Whitey had become much stronger. It growled at the big scorpion, and the big scorpion stopped talking. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. You¡¯ll be called Whitey, okay?¡± Then, the three of them looked at the white jade celestial bell. This bell was the key to leaving this ancient planet. There was a very strong gravitational force on this ancient planet, which made it impossible for them to even fly. In other words, there was no way for them to leave this ancient planet. The only hope of leaving this place was through the white jade celestial bell. After all, they had followed the bell here. This white jade celestial bell could definitely escape the shackles of this place. As he thought of this, Qin Chen eagerly walked towards the white jade celestial bell. There were indeed Emperor runes on the bell, so it might be an extreme emperor weapon. One must know that extreme weapons were extremely rare. Even in the entire ten lands, there were less than ten extreme emperor weapons and ancient imperial weapons. And now, Qin Chen had obtained another extreme emperor weapon. With this extreme emperor weapon, the Taiyi Holy Land would have a guarantee and would not be easily attacked. Thinking of this, Qin Chen placed his hand on the white jade celestial bell. The big scorpion also came over. His pincers were on the white jade celestial bell, stroking it constantly as if it was a peerless beauty. ¡°What a treasure! This is a treasure!¡± The big scorpion seemed to even want to kiss the bell. Qin Chen was speechless when he saw this. He infused his divine power into the white jade celestial bell. After doing so, a terrifying power instantly erupted! The emperor¡¯s might was so terrifying that it shook the entire ancient planet! Countless terrifying monsters looked up at the mountain, and the red-eyed creature in the white mist also looked at the source of the bell chimes. The chimes were filled with Buddhist sounds as if Gods and Buddhas were performing divination. The mysterious scene further proved that the bell was an extreme emperor weapon! Even the emperor¡¯s might the bell exuded was extremely terrifying, comparable to the innate sword embryo. One should know that the innate sword embryo had been refined by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and another emperor. To think the refinement of two great emperors would only produce a weapon that was on par with the white jade celestial bell! It was enough to show that the bell was extraordinary. After that, Qin Chen tried to activate the white jade celestial bell. As expected, the bell gradually floated and left the ancient planet, unaffected by the planet¡¯s terrifying gravity. Immediately, Qin Chen grabbed the edge of the bell, and Yuji, the big scorpion, and Whitey also followed suit. As the white jade celestial bell flew and left the ancient planet, they were successfully brought out of the planet. As for the experts of the other powerful cosmic races, they could only stay behind. The same went for the geniuses of the ten thousand ancient races. Without the white jade celestial bell, it was impossible for them to escape the terrifying gravity of the ancient planet. In other words, it didn¡¯t matter if they were able to survive the attacks of those humanoid monsters. They would never be able to leave this ancient planet, and they would be trapped here until death. They did not have much contact with Qin Chen, so he naturally had no thoughts of saving them. After returning to the starry sky, Qin Chen decisively put away the white jade celestial bell. After all, an extreme Emperor weapon was very eye-catching, and it would be hard to say what would happen if he was targeted by someone. Living ancient Gods might very well still be alive in this vast cosmic. If those old undying figures had their eyes on them, they would be in trouble. Under normal circumstances, Qin Chen would not choose to reveal his innate sword embryo either. Now that he had the white jade celestial bell, he had to be even more cautious. After Qin Chen put away the white jade celestial bell, he continued to search for their original designated planet with Yuji, the big scorpion, and Whitey. They were sure that there were more opportunities on the planet and that their destination could not be the planet that the white jade celestial bell had landed on. After all, back on that ancient planet, there had only been powerful cultivators who had chased after the bell. They hadn¡¯t seen any ancient princes or those from the Great Qin Dynasty. This meant that the planet that had attracted them to come to the starry sky and affected the changes in this cosmic had not been found yet. At the moment, they could only continue their search. Whitey was learning to control the ancient God¡¯s body. To perfectly display the ancient God¡¯s strength, it had to get familiar with the body. However, it was obvious that Whitey¡¯s consciousness was much smarter than that of the ancient God. At least, it could communicate with Qin Chen and the others and understand what they meant. If they encountered any other God-realm experts, Qin Chen did not need to use his extreme emperor weapon. With just a command, Whitey would rush out and blow up the God-realm experts. How terrifying was an ancient God? Every move he made could tear the void and shatter planets. In his peak state, he could probably kill countless living creatures with a thought. How could the body left behind by such an existence be simple? At the thought of this, Qin Chen continued to lead the group forward. There were many races in the vast cosmic, and they had now bumped into one of them. A group of God-eating ants. These God-eating ants were extremely terrifying as they could even devour a peak God-realm expert. Their strength was between the early and middle stages of the God realm. They were considered the top predators in the entire cosmic. But now that Qin Chen had a super fighter under his command, he ordered Whitey to rush forward. Facing Whitey, the God-eating ants didn¡¯t seem to realize the danger. With one palm, Whitey shattered the void and killed many of the ants. Then with a roar, the ancient God¡¯s aura spread out from its body. Such a terrifying aura scared the surviving God-eating ants and they fled in all directions, afraid that they would fall into Whitey¡¯s hands. Seeing this, Qin Chen smiled. No matter how strong the special cosmic race was, so what? They still had to admit defeat obediently in front of Whitey. Chapter 313 - 313 Yujis Ancestor 313 Yuji¡¯s Ancestor He had to let Whitey learn the cultivation techniques of the human race. After all, if the latter didn¡¯t have any means of attack and only relied on its physical body to fight, it would be at a great disadvantage. As they continued to move forward, Qin Chen and the others discovered many special races. However, when Whitey released its powerful aura, those special races retreated immediately, not daring to be presumptuous in front of it. After all, Whitey¡¯s aura was too terrifying. It was enough to make the experts of the special races fearful. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was relaxed. As long as Whitey was here, it would be everyone¡¯s protective talisman. Before they could go far, a spiritual will came from the void. This spiritual will was extremely terrifying, and it instantly made Qin Chen feel terrified. He suspected that if this spiritual will wanted to kill him, it would only need a single thought. The terrifying aura was comparable to an ancient God¡¯s. Qin Chen and the others immediately felt as if they had been plunged into a freeze. Could it be that there really were living ancient Gods in this vast cosmic that wanted to attack them? If this continued and the other party made a move, Qin Chen had no confidence in winning at all. After all, Whitey only had the body of an ancient God. A peak ancient God could easily defeat him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was stunned with shock. The spiritual will let out a cold snort! Immediately, Qin Chen and the others felt a chill down their spines. What did this mean? Was the other party planning to attack them? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know where the voice came from or where the ancient God was. He was a little regretful. He really couldn¡¯t expose his means. He didn¡¯t expect that an ancient God would discover them just because of Whitey¡¯s aura. Was the ancient God going to attack them? The big scorpion was also extremely shocked. He did not know what to do next. A voice was heard. The voice was extremely powerful, and its aura alone was many times stronger than Whitey¡¯s. He looked at Whitey and simply said, ¡°So you¡¯ve also fallen.¡± The voice sounded a little lonely. Hearing this, Qin Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He didn¡¯t expect this ancient God to recognize Whitey¡¯s body. However, the other party didn¡¯t attack Whitey. Instead, he pointed at Yuji and spat out two words, ¡°Come here.¡± Yuji¡¯s heart was filled with fear. Qin Chen gritted his teeth and stood in front of her, ¡°Senior, what do you mean by this?¡± Feeling the terrifying aura, although Qin Chen was terrified, he believed that they still had a chance against the other party. If Whitey made a move, it should be able to buy them a lot of time to leave. Plus, he had two extreme emperor weapons now, which would increase his chances of winning by 10% to 20%. The ancient God sneered and launched an attack on Qin Chen. The attack was extremely terrifying. If he was hit, he would probably die instantly. Qin Chen quickly sent a telepathic order to Whitey, asking it to stand in front of him. Whitey¡¯s body was that of an ancient God, so the attack wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt it. With a muffled groan, Whitey took a few steps back, but fortunately, the attack did not cause any damage to its body. The ancient God then raised his hand and released a terrifying suction force. Yuji, who was behind Qin Chen, was instantly sucked toward the other party. Yuji, who had been sucked over, was extremely frightened. She didn¡¯t know what the other party wanted to do. However, the ancient God didn¡¯t seem to have any ill intentions. Still, Qin Chen was ready to take action. If this ancient God wanted to harm her, he would save her even if it meant risking everything. The ancient God placed his hand on Yuji¡¯s forehead, and in an instant, Yuji¡¯s eyes widened, as if she had lost consciousness. Terrifying fluctuations entered Yuji¡¯s body. Qin Chen was startled, but the ancient God soon stopped. Yuji¡¯s eyes slowly regained their clarity. She looked at the ancient God in front of her and said with uncertainty, ¡°Greetings, ancestor.¡± This time, it was Qin Chen and the big scorpion¡¯s turn to be shocked. What was going on? An ancient God had suddenly appeared, and to think he was Yuji¡¯s ancestor? Qin Chen had never expected Yuji¡¯s ancestor to be an ancient God. Could this ancient God be the one who had entered the vast cosmic during the primordial era of the human race? At that time, the human race had many powerful experts. This ancient God must have endured for a long time to finally have an opportunity to become an emperor in this era. If he could grasp it, he might be able to become an ancient great emperor with a single leap. Qin Chen did not expect the other party to be one of his own. After all, he was a human, and Yuji¡¯s ancestor was also a human. They had a common ancestor. Unfortunately, Yuji¡¯s ancestor did not seem to acknowledge Qin Chen. He had severed his ties with the human race a long time ago and left behind a bloodline in the cosmic that belonged to his race. ¡°I¡¯ve long left the human race. I didn¡¯t expect to see a descendant here,¡± The ancient God murmured. Only Yuji was very excited. She knew how pleasantly surprised she was when she saw her ancestor. She thought that he was going to kill her, but it turned out that the other party was her ancestor. The ancient God left a wisp of pure energy in Yuji¡¯s body, which she could refine slowly. After refining it, she would have a great breakthrough, at least reaching the peak of the God realm. Seeing this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly. So it turned out to be Yuji¡¯s ancestor. In other words, this old monster had passed through the primordial era and the era of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, living to the present. The ancient God¡¯s impression of Qin Chen improved after seeing how he was willing to sacrifice the ancient God¡¯s body to protect Yuji. ¡°Greetings, senior,¡± Qin Chen said. The ancient God nodded. ¡°Does senior know who the owner of this body is?¡± Yuji¡¯s ancestor looked at Whitey, as if he was recalling something. ¡°He is the God of War, Ancient Chaos.¡± Ancient Chaos, the God of War? Qin Chen was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Whitey¡¯s body to be an ancient God from the primordial era who was known as a God of War. Even among the Gods, not many ancient Gods were qualified to be called the ¡°God of War¡±. Qin Chen continued to ask doubtfully, ¡°What exactly happened back then? To think he died on the Emperor Calamity Planet.¡± The Emperor Calamity Planet was the name of that ancient planet. ¡°Too many things happened back then,¡± Yuji¡¯s ancestor said, ¡°By now, there should be quite a few old monsters taking action. For that wisp of opportunity of becoming an emperor, they are probably willing to give up everything. The cosmic, nine Heavens, and ten lands are in chaos.¡± Qin Chen wanted to ask more questions, but Yuji¡¯s ancestor disappeared and left, leaving only one sentence, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. I¡¯m afraid that my life origin will be damaged if I appear earlier than expected.¡± Chapter 314 - 314 Break One of His Hands 314 Break One of His Hands Qin Chen could only send the ancient God off with Yuji. No matter what, the ancient God was still a human. It was a pity that he had already cut off all ties with the human race. Even so, he was still worthy of Qin Chen¡¯s respect. It was said that such an ancient God was only one step away from breaking through to the emperor realm. From his tone, it seemed that there were many old men like him who were waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Could it be that they were all going to reappear in this era? The opportunity to become an emperor had emerged in this era, and thus it seemed that many old farts would make an appearance. It wasn¡¯t just them. The younger generation was also fighting for the opportunity to become an emperor. If one could become an ancient great emperor, one would probably be willing to pay any price. Qin Chen looked at Yuji. He found that she seemed to be different. One should know that she was now considered quite powerful since she had the potential to break through to the peak of the God realm. On the other hand, Qin Chen was only at level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. There was still a long way to go before he could break through to the Shifang God realm. Yuji¡¯s face flushed. She did not know why Qin Chen was staring at her. After that, Qin Chen cleared his throat and prepared to leave. They had yet to find Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the others. They had not even seen the ancient princes. As he thought about it, he prepared to continue moving forward. However, this time, Qin Chen learned to keep a low profile since he had alarmed Yuji¡¯s ancestor. God knows what kind of existence he would alert the next time. There were simply one too many unexpected situations in this star field. As such, he asked Whitey to hide its realm. Without his orders, it must expose itself. The main reason was that the aura of an ancient God was like a shark. Although it could deter many special races, in this vast universe, countless existences would attack them as well. Those who could become ancient Gods were all experts. Whitey could only be considered half an ancient God. After all, he only had the body of an ancient God and not the power. Its weakness was very obvious. As long as an expert who was good at spiritual attacks attacked Whitey¡¯s soul, it would be able to kill it quickly. That was why they had to be low-key now. If they provoked an existence that they couldn¡¯t afford to offend, they would be courting death. Suddenly, Qin Chen seemed to recall that the big scorpion had a stone that could protect the soul. With that, Qin Chen smiled at the big scorpion. The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen¡¯s smile and suddenly had a bad premonition. ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s talk this out. Don¡¯t just smile like that.¡± Qin Chen laughed and said, ¡°Hand over the soul magic item you have.¡± When the big scorpion heard that Qin Chen was after his magic item, he immediately felt heartache. ¡°Elder King, you have a bronze sword, right? Can I use the soul magic item to exchange for the bronze sword?¡± One must know that the bronze sword was only lacking its sword tip. If the sword tip was found, it would be an ancient divine weapon that was not inferior to the Desolate Divine Halberd. An ancient divine weapon in exchange for a soul magic item. The big scorpion was definitely making a profit. Looking at the big scorpion¡¯s expression, Qin Chen ultimately took out the bronze sword from his storage bag and handed it to the big scorpion. With this, the latter gave him the soul magic item. After receiving the stone, Qin Chen placed it on Whitey¡¯s chest. The soul magic item could be protected by Whitey¡¯s soul. This way, no soul attack could hurt its soul. However, this was not a long-term solution. Qin Chen had already decided to strengthen Whitey¡¯s soul. It was said that many heavenly treasures could help with the growth of the soul. With Qin Chen¡¯s current status, it should be easy for him to get some soul-related heavenly treasures from the Taiyi Holy Land. Thinking of this, Qin Chen let Whitey practice the soul cultivation technique. He taught Whitey the cultivation technique step by step since the latter was only a consciousness formed from a remnant soul. Not long after, a corpse appeared in front of them. It was the corpse of a God-realm expert. Qin Chen recognized the corpse. He was an expert from the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ green bull race. Unfortunately, a God-realm expert had died here. Qin Chen looked into the distance where there was an ancient planet. The corpse must have floated out from that ancient planet. In the vast cosmic, there were many treasures. Without exception, all of them were very difficult to obtain. At this moment, the bronze sword started to tremble! The big scorpion cried out in alarm! Could it be that the tip of the bronze sword was on the ancient planet in the distance? ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s interest was immediately piqued, and the four of them headed toward the ancient planet. Right now, Qin Chen had Whitey, a super fighter with an ancient God¡¯s body. Even if he encountered more experts, he would have the ability to fight them off. From the looks of it now, there seemed to be some sort of opportunity on this ancient planet. When Qin Chen and the rest arrived on the ancient planet, he discovered an ancient tree here, the larch tree. It was said that Li Taibai had once comprehended the Dao under an ancient tree, becoming an ancient God through literature. These were all legends about the larch tree. However, the larch tree did have a great effect. Consuming its fruit would allow cultivators to quickly improve their realm. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the larch tree. This larch tree had produced ten fruits. If he consumed them, it would definitely increase his cultivation realm greatly. Thinking of this, Qin Chen walked towards the tree. All of a sudden, a tall and burly cultivator walked out. He looked very powerful. He was a God-realm expert! He looked at Qin Chen¡¯s group. To think the latter was only a group of Supreme Sages. There wasn¡¯t even a single God. He couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Hand over your treasures and get lost.¡± The God-realm expert was so arrogant that the big scorpion began to speak sarcastically, ¡°I¡¯m so scared. Come and get it yourself. I have so many treasures that I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll scare you.¡± The God-realm expert sneered and spat out three words, ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± One should know that Qin Chen and the others now had a super helper, Whitey. Even if Qin Chen didn¡¯t take action, this God-realm expert would most likely die. To think he was trying to rob Qin Chen. Was he tired of living? Qin Chen looked at the God-realm expert, but before he could speak, the God-realm expert charged toward them. ¡°Whitey, break one of his hands.¡± Whitey nodded. Following this, it slapped out a palm and broke the God-realm expert¡¯s arm in an instant. Even the God-realm expert did not expect Whitey to be so powerful. A great pain enveloped his senses and his hand was broken! Chapter 315 - 315 The Vampire 315 The Vampire ¡°How can there be such a powerful human cultivator?¡± The God expert was filled with fear. He felt as if he had provoked someone who shouldn¡¯t be trifled with. His God-realm combat strength was nothing in the eyes of the other party. What kind of monster was this? The nine Heavens and ten lands were no longer the same as it was in the primordial era. He didn¡¯t expect that there would be such an expert. The big scorpion clamored, ¡°Aren¡¯t you very strong? Come on then, take the treasures I have on me.¡± The God-realm expert immediately became obedient and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Qin Chen walked to his side and said, ¡°Did you find any treasures here?¡± The God-realm expert took out everything he had without any hesitation, ¡°My Lords, my treasures are all here. Please spare my life!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes lit up when it saw the treasures. Unfortunately, the bronze sword tip was not among the treasures. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Since the bronze sword was already trembling, it should be here. The big scorpion was a little confused as he did not find what he was looking for. Following this, Qin Chen sent a telepathic message to Whitey. Whitey understood and immediately broke the neck of the God expert. The big scorpion said coldly, ¡°Even if we kill you, the treasure will still be ours.¡± In this vast universe, being strong was the rule. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Qin Chen and the others were strong, they might have already become the prisoners of this God expert. Since he wanted their treasures, Qin Chen decided to give him a quick death. On this ancient planet, the only treasure that Qin Chen and the others were interested in was the larch tree. The fruit of the larch tree was extremely rare and had the ability to quickly increase one¡¯s strength. There were a total of ten fruits on the tree. When Qin Chen plucked them, he realized that the fruits had already ripened. The reason why the expert was here was probably for the fruits as well. After all, the fruits would have a significant effect on even a God-realm expert¡¯s cultivation. Then, Qin Chen distributed the fruit to everyone. There seemed to be something else on this ancient planet. Qin Chen continued to explore the surroundings and finally found a palace. The palace was neither big nor small, but it was the only building on the ancient planet. God-realm experts seemed to have already looted the palace. Just as Qin Chen and the others got close, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from the palace. The powerful aura was vast and incomparably terrifying, forcing them to stop. Could it be that the treasure was right in front? Whitey had to go in and take a look. After all, its body was that of an ancient God, so it was could be fearless of any danger. Immediately, Whitey entered and searched the place according to Qin Chen¡¯s orders. Not long after, Whitey came out of the palace with some weapons on its body. All of them seemed to be Supreme Sage weapons. Ordinary Supreme Sage weapons were no longer attractive to Qin Chen and the others. Then, the big scorpion saw a piece of bronze among the weapons, which was the tip of the bronze sword. He immediately became excited and rushed to Whitey¡¯s side, grabbing the sword tip in his hand. When the bronze sword and the sword tip touched, a terrifying power instantly burst out. As expected, the bronze sword was indeed a quasi-emperor weapon, though no one knew who had left it behind. The past had simply been too chaotic. For starters, Qin Chen and the rest had discovered many places where ancient emperors had fought. Now that he had obtained a quasi-emperor-grade weapon, the big scorpion was satisfied. He held the quasi-emperor-grade weapon in his hand and played with it. Whitey placed the other weapons on the ground and Qin Chen asked it, ¡°What else was in the palace? ¡± Whitey said, ¡°There¡¯s also an origin space inside where a monster seems to be.¡± Could it be that the monster was the most terrifying existence in the palace? Qin Chen was tempted and wanted to go in and take a look. With Whitey around, the pressure was naturally nothing. It was easily resisted by Whitey. When they walked into the palace, they saw clearly that in the center of the palace was an origin space with a monster that looked like a vampire within. Its skin was pale white and it had a pair of black wings on its back. Could it be that this was where an expert had sealed itself? It seemed that the vampire was also an old monster who had self-sealed to avoid the erosion of time. Qin Chen walked over and looked at the origin space. He was immediately surprised because the vampire inside had opened its eyes and was staring at him. ¡°So you¡¯ve already woken up. Then come out.¡± It was a pity that the vampire did not seem to have any intention of breaking out of the seal. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to come out, Qin Chen asked Whitey to smash the origin space apart, which was easy for someone with an ancient God¡¯s body to do. Whitey moved and quickly split the origin space apart with its palm. In an instant, the origin space was torn into pieces. The vampire was terrified as it could feel that the human who had split his origin space was extremely powerful. Just the other party¡¯s physical body alone was enough to make him feel fear. What kind of monster was this? Originally, this vampire had sealed itself in the origin space, waiting to come out in this era. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a mistake in its timing. It had long lost consciousness and naturally could not wake up. Now that it had forcefully been woken up by Whitey, it was naturally quite angry. Yet, although it was angry, it could feel that among the group of newcomers, Whitey was the one who it could not see through. When Whitey attacked, it could feel a terrifying aura. This was simply too horrifying. Could it be that these people were here to kill it? No, he didn¡¯t offend them, so why would they attack it? The vampire was at the peak of the God realm, only one step away from surpassing the peak of the God realm. However, he had a feeling that even if he had entered the realm above the God realm, he was no match for Whitey. ¡°Who are you?¡± Qin Chen asked. The vampire immediately replied, ¡°I¡¯m an expert from the vampire race.¡± ¡°Do you have any treasures on you? If you do, hand them over quickly,¡± What Qin Chen needed the most now was some treasures that could increase soul strength. After all, Whitey¡¯s weakness was too obvious. Any expert who had a stronger spiritual power than Whitey could easily subdue it. That was why Qin Chen was acting as such to obtain treasures that could increase soul power. The vampire immediately took out all its treasures. He did not doubt that the other party could kill it. Rather, the other party was probably even capable of erasing his existence from this world easily. Now that the knife was at its neck, the vampire would naturally not be stubborn. Chapter 316 - 316 Verdant Wood 316 Verdant Wood After the vampire took out the treasures, Qin Chen noticed that there were some treasures that could improve the strength of the soul, though they were few. Among them was some kind of liquid stored in a wine pot. Qin Chen did not know what the liquid was. The vampire quickly introduced, ¡°This is the essence that I refined using the blood of many experts. After consuming it, it will help one¡¯s cultivation. It is also a gift that I want to leave for the younger generation. It is a pity that I sealed myself here and did not return to my race.¡± Therefore, Qin Chen benefited. Qin Chen picked up the wine pot and sniffed it. It had a very strong blood stench and he couldn¡¯t accept it. Following this, he threw the liquid to Whitey and let the latter drink it. Naturally, Whitey was very obedient. It opened the wine bottle and downed its contents in one gulp, not caring how pungent the smell was. Immediately after, Whitey felt that the medicinal power had greatly improved its spiritual power. Seeing this, the vampire couldn¡¯t help but wail in pain in its heart. To think the essence it had so painstakingly collected and refined was wasted just like that. What a waste of a treasure! However, it didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud and could only smile. Seeing that all of the vampire¡¯s treasures were here, Qin Chen and the others did not find anything special, and even the big scorpion did not take a fancy to a single item. His standards were now very high. Now that he had obtained the bronze sword, a quasi-emperor-grade weapon, he felt that everything had to be as rare as a quasi-emperor-grade weapon to be able to make him want it. After that, everyone prepared to leave the ancient planet. After the vampire sent Qin Chen and the others away, its body was already drenched in a cold sweat. God knows when such a terrifying group of people appeared in the cosmic. Luckily, it hadn¡¯t resisted and attacked them just now. Otherwise, it would probably die here. It couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Could it be that Supreme Sages were everywhere in this era, and Gods were inferior to dogs? To think just a random group of people who came would have a terrifying existence that could crush him. The vampire then left the ancient planet to return to its race. After Qin Chen and the others left, they continued to move forward to find their designated planet. It might still be quite difficult though. If he had entered the vast cosmic earlier, he would have traveled with the ancient princes and the experts from the Holy Lands. At the very least, he wouldn¡¯t have to be like a headless fly that couldn¡¯t find his destination. They had now arrived in front of an ancient tree. The ancient tree was extremely mysterious, and it was emitting light. It was floating in the vast cosmic, actually comparable to an asteroid. The big scorpion was also surprised to see this. When he saw the ancient tree, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This is verdant wood! Hearing this, Qin Chen also realized that this was probably the verdant wood recorded in the ancient books. It was said that even in the primordial era, verdant wood was very rare in the entire nine Heavens and ten lands. Not only could such a divine tree connect Heaven and Earth, but the spiritual energy it emitted could help people cultivate quickly. Wherever it was would be comparable to a blessed land, and many major forces yearned for a piece of the verdant wood to build their ancestral land for cultivation. It was a pity that verdant wood was very rare even in the primordial era. In the current era, there was no trace of the verdant wood in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Qin Chen and the others did not expect to see one in this vast cosmic. There were several powerful auras on the verdant wood who had also sensed the arrival of Qin Chen and the others. They assumed a battle-ready posture, while Qin Chen and the others were also somewhat on guard. Then, a majestic roar was heard, ¡°Who is it? Stop!¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion clamored again, ¡°Give up the verdant wood and let me cultivate!¡± Upon hearing this, those powerful auras got impatient and thought that the other party was here to annihilate their race. They immediately rushed out. Only then did Qin Chen and the others see that the other parties were creatures like treants. They should also be of a special race. It was not surprising for special creatures like this to appear in the vast cosmic. However, they were all extremely powerful, and some of them were even at the peak of the God realm, which was enough to show that cultivation near the tree was very beneficial. To think the verdant wood could produce so many experts. This made the big scorpion drool with greed even more. The verdant wood was a peerless treasure, but it was too big. If it had been smaller, the big scorpion would even want to take it away. Something that could accommodate the cultivation of so many experts was naturally no ordinary thing. The verdant wood had been regarded as the treants¡¯ source of survival in the cosmic, so it was naturally impossible for them to give it up. Therefore, they were very hostile to Qin Chen and the others since they appeared. ¡°Everyone, please leave quickly. If you don¡¯t leave now, there will be a battle.¡± The big scorpion chuckled. These treants didn¡¯t seem to understand the situation. Didn¡¯t they notice Whitey¡¯s strong body? If a battle broke out, these experts might not even be enough to quench Whitey¡¯s thirst. The experts looked at Qin Chen. They could see that he should be the backbone of these people. If they could capture Qin Chen, many things would naturally be easier to deal with. When the God-level experts glanced at him, they found that Qin Chen was only level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm, the big scorpion was at level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm, and the woman was at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. There was also a man whose cultivation realm that they could not see through. They knew that there were many dangers in the vast cosmic, so they were not in a hurry to attack Qin Chen and the others. However, this did not seem to be a solution, so in the end, they still decided to make a move. With that, these powerful figures exchanged glances with each other and terrifying auras burst out from their bodies. Then, they charged toward Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen didn¡¯t even flinch as he said to Whitey, ¡°Attack. Don¡¯t kill them, leave them alive.¡± Whitey nodded. It knew what Qin Chen meant. It charged forward at its fastest speed, shattering the void. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the experts. The God-realm experts were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect this man to have such an insane speed. They then began to attack Whitey. All kinds of attacks landed on Whitey¡¯s body, but the latter was not injured at all. Instead, it simply sent out a gentle palm attack. Chapter 317 - 317 Planet 317 Planet Whitey controlled its strength, but it was still very powerful. One of the God-realm spirit cultivators spat out blood. The other figures thus realized that this man was extremely powerful. They were all shocked. Did they have to escape and abandon their ancestral land? The experts from the special race who were like treants had to face the fact that they couldn¡¯t defeat the other party. Even though they were all at the peak of the God realm, they were still beaten up. In fact, they couldn¡¯t hurt the other party at all. Rather, they were seriously injured by a single palm attack from the other party. Was there really any meaning in continuing to fight like this? Without another way out, the experts from the special race could only give up and admit defeat to Qin Chen. Qin Chen did not make things too difficult for them. He only brought the others to the verdant wood for a walk. After all, the verdant wood was a rare treasure land, so they naturally wanted to see it. They did not expect that the speed of cultivation near the verdant wood was indeed much faster than the outside world. The spiritual energy was very rich. Then, Qin Chen asked if the experts had seen any other human experts. The main reason he was here was to ask about the whereabouts of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the ancient princes. The experts from the special race smiled bitterly, ¡°Yes, we have seen them before. Not long ago, someone passed by with an ancient emperor weapon. They seemed to be in a hurry.¡± Qin Chen was excited when he heard the news. In that case, they were very close to Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the ancient princes. Following this, he left with everyone. Before leaving, the big scorpion took a look at the surroundings. He did not find any treasures, so he could only leave in a sulk. After they left, the experts of the special races heaved a sigh of relief. God knows where those guys came from, but experts with ancient emperor weapons passed by some time ago, and now, another group of experts appeared. Among the latter, Whitey had left the deepest impression on them. It could probably do whatever it wanted in the cosmic with its strength. Even its opponents were few and far between. Then, the experts controlled the verdant wood and floated into the depths of the cosmic. The world was in chaos now. Many experts and old monsters had appeared, wanting to fight for the opportunity to become an emperor. If they didn¡¯t want to be involved in this, they had to go to the edge of the cosmic to ensure that they wouldn¡¯t be affected and that their race could continue living on. Qin Chen and the others did not know that a powerful race had migrated because of them. Many powerful auras were fighting in front. Sensing the powerful auras, Qin Chen did not hesitate to ask Whitey to drive them away. Two Gods from two special races were fighting each other. It seemed that there was some kind of great enmity between them as they went all out in fighting each other. However, as soon as Whitey arrived, they became vigilant. Whitey released its pressure and spat out two words, ¡°Get lost!¡± Immediately, the two experts were scared out of their wits. They didn¡¯t have the slightest intention of continuing the battle and ran away frantically. It was as if they were afraid that they would be eaten by Whitey alive if they were a little slower. This was the power of an ancient God expert. A single sentence was enough to scare off others. After that, Qin Chen and the rest continued forward. He knew that they would be able to see Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the ancient princes not far away. They should be very close to the planet. What could be hidden in the planet that caused such a change in the star field? Qin Chen had two ancient emperor weapons and a super fighter, Whitey. Even if they were to fight, he would not be afraid of any danger. He flew forward with Whitey and the others. A few experts of some special races sensed their arrival and immediately took flight like frightened birds as they could sense Whitey¡¯s terrifying aura. At the same time, Whitey released its powerful aura, which made all living beings in front feel the fluctuations of an expert, making the latter extremely fearful. Qin Chen led the group forward without any obstacles. They did not encounter anything that blocked their way. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly felt the changes in his surroundings. His spiritual power was in the God realm and was thus very sensitive, so he quickly noticed that there were more abnormalities in the surroundings. For example, in some places, the flow of time had become extremely slow, while in other places, the flow of time was extremely fast. If they walked over to those places where the flow of time was extremely fast, their bodies and souls would be destroyed in an instant. This was because the speed of time was too fast, and their physical bodies simply could not withstand it. They did not dare to set foot in places where time flowed slower either. The logic worked the same as in the region where Qin Chen had saved Yuji. It could trap them and they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape at all. After that, Qin Chen let Whitey explore the way ahead. Whitey¡¯s body was that of an ancient God, so it was not afraid of such small changes in the flow of time. It was very difficult for the change in the flow of time to stop Whitey because it could break free if it went all out. Not long after, they had finally covered a certain distance. Although the distance was not a significant number, if Qin Chen had been traveling with the big scorpion and Yuji without Whitey, they would¡¯ve been extremely slow, and they might not even have covered half the distance themselves. They advanced once again, experiencing the horrors of this place more and more. It was filled with countless terrifying law powers. The law powers seemed to have suddenly emerged here, which also showed that they were very close to their destination. Since the treants of that race they had met earlier insisted that some humans had passed by their planet some time ago, the human with the ancient emperor weapon that they had spoken of could only be Supreme Sage Qin Tian. They shouldn¡¯t be too far away from their designated planet. Thinking about the changes in the star field, Qin Chen was quite delighted as he wondered what kind of opportunities were waiting for them. After that, Qin Chen adjusted his condition to its peak and continued to search the space front, trying to find the planet as soon as possible. On one of the planets, Supreme Sage Qin Tian was injured. He was using his ancient emperor weapon to defend against the attacks. He roared in anger, but it was as if he was being mocked by the other party. Then, the other party exploded and released an attack that wanted to kill him. The other party also had a terrifying weapon, an ancient imperial weapon. Chapter 318 - 318 Corpse 318 Corpse-eating Vine For Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the ancient princes to take action, the only possibility was that they had found some treasure, which led to such a dispute. Normally, they would not fight for no reason. After all, in this vast cosmic, even having an extreme emperor weapon was not a guarantee against many dangers. Qin Chen and the others were still moving forward. Then, they sensed that some terrifying traces had been left behind in front. A great battle should¡¯ve taken place, though they had, unfortunately, found nothing. Qin Chen could only guess that Supreme Sage Qin Tian or the ancient princes had activated their extreme emperor weapons. Otherwise, such a powerful aura wouldn¡¯t have been realized. He quickly led the group forward, and the corpses of many experts appeared before their eyes. These experts¡¯ corpses included those from the ancient races, geniuses from the cosmic, and human cultivators. When Qin Chen and the others took a closer look, they realized that the clothes the corpses were wearing were not from this era. They were so old it was as if they had died here a long time ago. ¡°Could it be that there had been a battle here a long time ago? Or a terrifying catastrophe?¡± To be able to cause so many experts to die here, Qin Chen immediately ordered Whitey to be on guard because there might be other dangers here. Since something could cause the deaths of so many experts, it was enough for him to be vigilant. After all, he wasn¡¯t an ancient God, so he cherished his life. The big scorpion cried out in alarm because he saw a dragon corpse in front of him! The dragon¡¯s corpse was huge, looking like a giant beast wandering in the cosmic. Unfortunately, it seemed to have been long dead, and even its flesh was extremely pale! The fatal attack that had caused the dragon¡¯s death was a round hole in its head. This round hole seemed to have instantly shattered its skull and destroyed its soul, causing it to die here. To have such a powerful force, the culprit must be at least an ancient God. Could there be such characters on the designated planet as well? To be able to cause a change in an entire star field, whatever had happened was most definitely no simple matter. Just one ancient God simply couldn¡¯t possibly achieve such a feat. There must be other truths behind this, but Qin Chen and the others had yet to uncover them. At the thought of this, Qin Chen led the group forward. He wanted to find that planet. After all, such a long time had passed. Perhaps the opportunities there had already been obtained by others, but he still had to get there as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Qin Chen burst out with all his strength and rushed forward. Whitey led the way, while Yuji and the big scorpion followed behind. With Whitey as the vanguard, their traveling speed was much faster. Finally, many strange forces appeared in front of them and attacked Whitey. If not for Whitey, Qin Chen and the others might have been injured by the terrifying force. The force seemed to be very aggressive, though they were clueless as to why it would appear here. Qin Chen and the rest hurried forward. They then discovered many experts from the primordial era ahead. Most of these experts had not reached the ancient God realm. There were only a few auras that were suspected to be of the ancient God realm. Unfortunately, they had all fallen and only their corpses were left. With this, Qin Chen realized that they had come to the right place. Perhaps the planet was just ahead! If that was the case, he had to speed up and not let the opportunities on the planet fall into the hands of others. When Qin Chen and the others went over, they discovered that there was indeed a planet right in front. The planet was emitting a terrifying emperor¡¯s might. Could this be the planet they had been looking for? Since it could trigger such a change in the entire star field, it must have been a contingency plan set up by some incredible figure. On top of that, since it had attracted so many experts, it shouldn¡¯t be safe either. Rather, it should be an extremely dangerous place. However, the experts still didn¡¯t give up on getting the opportunities on the planet. This was probably walking right into the other party¡¯s trap. Perhaps, the higher the number of people who went to the planet, the more likely it would be for the other party¡¯s plan to succeed. Boom! Waves of terrifying aura fluctuations were emitted from the planet. Qin Chen quickly realized that there was probably a battle going on, and the powerful fluctuations could only be triggered by extreme emperor weapons. With this, he quickly let Whitey lead the way, quickly approaching the planet. Since even ancient emperor weapons were revived, there must be some terrifying dangers on this planet. Qin Chen had to hurry over. Supreme Sage Qin Tian could not hold on any longer. He was bleeding from his seven orifices and injuries covered his body. However, he continued to activate the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword. Next to him, a figure of an expert from the ten thousand ancient races was rapidly approaching him. The figure was an expert from an imperial clan of the ten thousand ancient races, and the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was aimed at him. It was Prince Zhan! The two had already fought to the point where the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Both had suffered significant injuries, but they still did not stop. It was as if they wanted to fight to the death! When Qin Chen arrived and saw this, he realized that the eyes of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were already dyed with blood! Seeing this, how could he not understand that those two were probably under some kind of illusion-type spiritual attack? Otherwise, they would not have fought each other to such an extent. Qin Chen looked at the two who were attacking with all their might and told Whitey to quickly go over and knock them out. After all, the two had gone berserk at this point. The only way for Qin Chen to quieten them was to knock them out. Otherwise, even Qin Chen would not dare to get close to them. Seeing that they were at each other¡¯s throats, Qin Chen quickly rushed over. When he saw that the two had already fought to this extent, he was shocked because they were both seriously injured. If he had not come, they would probably die from exhaustion after a while. But fortunately, Qin Chen had arrived. All of a sudden, Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something. An expert from the ten thousand ancient races had appeared next to Supreme Sage Qin Tian and wanted to attack him! Qin Chen used his powerful spiritual power to attack the other party, only to discover that it was not an expert of the ten thousand ancient races. It was actually a vine! The vine was extremely demonic. It seemed to be some kind of corpse-eating vine. Shouldn¡¯t such a thing be extinct in the cosmic, including the nine Heavens and ten lands? How could it still be around? Chapter 319 - 319 Comparable to an Emperor 319 Comparable to an Emperor-realm Battle The terrifying corpse-eating vine¡¯s fame came from its ability to influence people¡¯s minds. It would attack while its targets were clueless and kill them. Even at death¡¯s door, its targets would not realize that they had died in an illusion. From the looks of it, the corpse-eating vine was about to succeed. Just a little more and it would be able to fully affect Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan, making them die together in battle. The corpse-eating vine had also discovered Qin Chen. It waved its blood-colored vines as if it was extremely angry. Then, it also released an illusion on Qin Chen and the others. In an instant, Yuji, the big scorpion, and Whitey were all hit. Their eyes were filled with confusion, followed by fear, anger, and sadness. Now, only Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness was still intact. His spiritual power had already reached the God realm, so he naturally would not be affected by the terrifying illusion. Following this, he quickly used the Moving Secret Technique and his figure disappeared in an instant. Even the corpse-eating vine could not find Qin Chen¡¯s shadow. With three hand blades, Qin Chen knocked out Yuji and the others. After that, the scene before Qin Chen¡¯s eyes changed. Boundless blood color enveloped him. On both sides of him stood a rotting giant and a skeleton that was emitting black gas. ¡°So this is the illusion of the corpse-eating vine? It¡¯s indeed very real.¡± Qin Chen almost fell for the corpse-eating vine¡¯s trick as well. Fortunately, his spiritual power had already reached the God realm, so he would not be easily dragged into the illusion. The decaying giant that he was now seeing was naturally Prince Zhan who was holding a divine iron rod in his hand. On the other hand, the skeleton that was emitting black gas was naturally Supreme Sage Qin Tian. In the illusion cast by the corpse-eating vine, they looked as such to each other. This corpse-eating vine¡¯s illusionary technique had already reached a very high realm. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t possibly have such power. However, Qin Chen was still unafraid. He was a monstrous genius in the spiritual world. A mere God-realm corpse-eating vine couldn¡¯t control him. The corpse-eating vine was surprised that it had failed to drag Qin Chen into its illusion. However, it immediately made Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan attack Qin Chen. As long as it could eliminate Qin Chen, everything would be under its control. Seeing this, Qin Chen felt great pressure. The divine iron rod in Prince Zhan¡¯s hand exploded with shocking power as it was activated, and countless rays of light shot out like the most dazzling light in the vast starry sky! Divine power poured down as if it was going to destroy an entire ancient planet! Supreme Sage Qin Tian did not hold back either. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword seemed to still be in the Great Qin Dynasty, receiving the worship of countless people. It was as if Emperor Shi had reincarnated and a terrifying emperor¡¯s might came crashing down on Qin Chen! The emperor¡¯s might drawn from the long river of history was enough to crush the void that stretched for tens of thousands of miles! Qin Chen¡¯s aura became terrifyingly sharp. He had long been used to facing life-and-death situations, so he was extremely calm at this moment. He used all his strength to activate the innate sword embryo and resuscitate the God within it. In the end, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor seemed to have reappeared in the world. His majestic eyes erupted with rules of chaos. In front of him, even the most powerful attack could only be dispersed. Of course, just relying on the innate sword embryo alone was not enough. Qin Chen still had another extreme emperor weapon, the white jade celestial bell! Qin Chen put the bell on his shoulder and slammed it with his divine power. The great chimes manifested the Gods and Buddhas of the heavens to preach the Dao, which was extremely magical! Boom! The might of the celestial bell shook the planet under their feet! ¡°Wake up!¡± The chimes of the celestial bell were deafening! Even the terrifying monsters, the red-eyed creature, and the skeleton giant on the Emperor Calamity Planet would be jolted to consciousness by the chimes. Perhaps, he could use this to wake Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan up. Celestial light interweaved, and the attack was shocking. The most terrifying battle broke out on the planet. If it were any other planet, it would have shattered long ago. God knows what was hidden on this planet that allowed it to withstand such terrifying combat waves. Even though the bell had chimed, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were immersed deep in the illusion. If this continued, the two would not be able to leave the planet alive. As strong as Qin Chen was, even he could not take it when using two extreme emperor weapons at the same time. His divine power was almost drained. It was now at a critical moment. If the same thing happened again, Qin Chen might not be able to withstand the combined attack of the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and the divine iron rod and would die here. ¡°It¡¯s too depressing to die at the hands of allies.¡± Qin Chen immediately took out a drop of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence and swallowed it. In an instant, he returned to his peak and was even stronger than before. However, he only had three drops of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence and had already used two drops. Qin Chen would not use the last drop unless he had no other choice. Now that he had returned to his peak state, he decided to go all out and pour all his divine power into the weapons. Otherwise, he might have no choice but to use the last drop of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence. At this moment, Qin Chen displayed his magnanimity. Even if he had to use up all his strength, he would stop Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan. The source of the illusion was the corpse-eating vine, so he must not let it escape. The corpse-eating vine seemed to have sensed Qin Chen¡¯s killing intent. It immediately ordered Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan, who were trapped in the illusion, to attack Qin Chen with all their might. They had to kill Qin Chen. If the corpse-eating vine could obtain the many treasures as well as the blood and flesh essence of so many experts, it might be able to become a God-realm expert. By then, it might be able to create a legend with so many extreme emperor weapons! If it was a little greedier and thought a little further, it might even be able to snatch the opportunity to become an emperor! ¡°Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan seem to hate me to the extreme. I wonder what they¡¯re seeing in the illusion.¡± Heaven and Earth were overturned, and a terrifying emperor¡¯s might erupted from the planet. It was as if ancient emperors were fighting in this world. The terrifying fluctuation had long been sensed by the other living beings, who were all trembling in fear. Such a terrifying fluctuation almost suffocated these living beings. Before Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan made their moves, Qin Chen had already activated his innate sword embryo and the white jade celestial bell. In an instant, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and a bright light shot out from the planet. It caused a small star to explode, turning the star into cosmic dust. The countless living beings on it were reduced to nothingness. This scene made the hearts of countless Gods tremble. They didn¡¯t dare to get close to the planet and fled to the edge of the star field. From time to time, powerful aftershocks would erupt from the planet. ¡°This battle is comparable to an Emperor-realm battle.¡± Chapter 320 - 320 Heavenly Eye of Samsara 320 Heavenly Eye of Samsara This scene caused fear to rise in the hearts of some of the cosmic experts. Even though they were in the God realm, the shockwaves from the battle could kill them. Qin Chen and the others had set off a great battle that attracted the attention of countless living beings in the cosmic. It was as if they were back in the primordial era when the ancient emperors were still alive and majestic. ¡°Pu!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan could not hold on any longer. Their physical bodies were already severely injured. They spat out mouthfuls of blood and finally fell, unconscious. The corpse-eating vine was so anxious that it stomped its feet. It didn¡¯t expect that the two Supreme Sages would pass out so quickly. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were firmly locked on the corpse-eating vine. The culprit must die! With that, his Chaotic Holy Body burst out. The chaos in the sky rumbled. He punched out with divine power condensed on his fist. A huge pit hundreds of miles wide was smashed out, and the corpse-eating vine in the pit was turned into mud. After devouring and refining the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence, Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body had become perfect. After killing the corpse-eating vine, the blood color in the eyes of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan disappeared. Then, they stood up with great difficulty. ¡°What just happened?¡± In the consciousness of Supreme Sage Qin Tian, he had been fighting with some demonic beasts. ¡°The corpse-eating vine!¡± Prince Zhan gasped. To think the terrifying black skeleton he saw was an illusion. At this moment, Qin Chen finally relaxed. The great battle had finally come to an end. Yuji, the big scorpion, and Whitey, who had been knocked unconscious by Qin Chen, finally woke up. Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s back was drenched in a cold sweat. If Qin Chen had not intervened, he would have died here. Never mind if he died here, but the most important thing was that he would¡¯ve caused the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s extreme emperor weapon to be lost. That would make him a true sinner. ¡°Elder King, many thanks!¡± Prince Zhan¡¯s body was also covered in injuries, but he recovered quickly. After all, the physical body of his battle sage ape bloodline was at the peak of the world. Qin Chen looked around. There was no one else around except them. He quickly asked the two, ¡°Where are the others? ¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian sighed and said, ¡°The rest of the people from the human Dynasties and Holy Lands have already left, including all the ancient princes. They were afraid of dying on this planet.¡± Qin Chen looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian and continued asking, ¡°Is this the planet that caused the changes in the entire cosmic?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan both nodded. ¡°Prince Zhan and I stayed behind to explore this planet, but in the end, we somehow fell into an illusion.¡± If Qin Chen had arrived a little later, the two would have died of exhaustion. Fortunately, the corpse-eating vine was already dead. It had reached level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm, so it was no wonder it could drag the two of them into an illusion. If it had been a God-realm corpse-eating vine, even Qin Chen¡¯s life would be in danger. Thinking of this, Qin Chen nodded. The next step was to search the planet. Even ancient Gods couldn¡¯t change an entire star field. How could there be such a terrifying existence here? Who knows, it might be a plan left behind by an ancient Emperor to interfere with the later generations. After all, only someone like that would have such an ability. It would not be an easy task to find out the secrets of this planet. Qin Chen walked to the center of the planet and saw a lake. He scanned the lake again and again with his powerful spiritual power, but he ultimately came up empty-handed. On this planet, there was nothing other than the lake. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan came to the conclusion that the true secret should be in the lake. ¡°Let me take a look. Perhaps this lake is an opportunity left behind by the demon race¡¯s great emperor.¡± The big scorpion plunged into the lake but found nothing as well. The lake seemed to be an ordinary one, and there was no change in it at all. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. This entire star region had changed because of this lake, causing many old monsters to reappear. They had even traveled to terrifying places left behind by ancient emperors¡¯ battles. It seemed that this place was extremely strange and extraordinary. It was impossible for there to just be a lake. [Ding!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can only check in once here!] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Qin Chen was a little surprised. To think he could only check in once here. ¡°System, check in!¡± Qin Chen wanted to see what kind of treasures were there. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, host, for checking in to the place left behind by a mysterious great emperor. You have obtained the reward of the Heavenly Eye of Samsara!] A golden light was emitted from Qin Chen¡¯s forehead. The big scorpion cried out in shock and choked on a large mouthful of lake water, ¡°The Elder King has become a celestial!¡± Qin Chen was speechless. After the light dissipated, an illusionary divine eye appeared on his forehead. Just by looking at this eye, the others felt an absurd feeling as if they were looking into the void. [Heavenly Eye of Samsara: A divine eye left behind by a mysterious ancient great emperor. It can see the history dating as far back as 5000 years. A reminder to the host: Please do not use the eye unless you have reached the ancient great emperor realm. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.] Qin Chen was silent. After all this, he had only obtained something useless. By the time he reached the ancient great emperor realm, who knew when that would be? Wasn¡¯t the eye just a piece of decoration then? As for Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan, they laughed out loud. It seemed that the opportunity that they had been after was obtained by Qin Chen. The two of them were about to congratulate Qin Chen when an unexpected change occurred as Qin Chen attempted to use the Heavenly Eye of Samsara to observe the lake! Runes appeared on the surface of the lake, causing the lake to glow and the sky to be resplendent. Everyone was shocked! Slowly, the runes fused and a divine path leading to a secret place appeared! ¡°That¡¯s a small void world!¡± It turned out that the lake was just a cover. The real secret place was the small void world. Even if they drained all the water in the lake and dug three feet underground, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to find the place. ¡°As expected of the Elder King! I do admire you!¡± The big scorpion swam up from the lake and ran towards the divine path, ¡°Demon race¡¯s great emperor, do you hear my shouts?¡± Qin Chen and the others also rushed toward the divine path. This big scorpion seriously valued treasures more than his life. He was afraid that he would not get the treasure if he was late Everyone¡¯s heart trembled. In the small void world, there was nothing but a table, two chairs, and three wine cups. Other than that, there was nothing else. ¡°Where¡¯s the treasure? Where¡¯s the opportunity?¡± It was as if the big scorpion had gone mad as he searched the space. Chapter 321 - 321 The Great Emperors Remnant Will 321 The Great Emperor¡¯s Remnant Will At this moment, everything seemed to have stopped. Qin Chen looked around and saw that Yuji¡¯s expression seemed to be frozen. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were frozen in place as if they had been petrified. The big scorpion¡¯s face was filled with sorrow as his mouth was agape, unable to close. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Qin Chen was almost at a loss for words because he realized that he was the only one who could move around. The others seemed to have been frozen in place. This scene was too strange. It was as if he seemed to have been abandoned by time. If time did not recover, he might be trapped here forever, never to be reincarnated. That was too terrifying. Before Qin Chen could react, a loud voice rang out within the thousand-foot space as if it had come from the wilderness, ¡°Since you have the Chaotic Holy Body, are you a descendant of that man?¡± Of course, Qin Chen knew what the voice was talking about. The existence within this thousand-foot space must have recognized him as the descendant of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Qin Chen looked around, searching for the source of the sound. Unexpectedly, he felt as if he had fallen into the water by accident. After falling into the water, before he could come back to his senses, he saw the scene around him change and he arrived in a white space. Other than the color white, there was nothing else in the surroundings. Not even a single streak of another color could be seen. ¡°What is this place?¡± The voice came again, from above Qin Chen¡¯s head, ¡°Since you¡¯re a descendant of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll be able to live another life after possessing your body, then fight for the opportunity to become an emperor.¡± When Qin Chen heard this, he hurriedly asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± The voice did not answer him. Following this, Qin Chen saw a huge face as bright as the sun above his head, emitting a terrifying flame! The face was at least 300 meters wide, like a star. In front of it, Qin Chen was extremely small. Qin Chen immediately gulped. He did not know what the other party was. To think it could open up a small void world in a place left behind by the mysterious great emperor. It seemed that it was preparing to possess his body and then pursue the opportunity to become an emperor in this era. To Qin Chen¡¯s surprise, the giant face spoke, ¡°That¡¯s not right. You¡¯re not a descendant of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Where did you get your Chaotic Holy Body?¡± The face seemed to be able to tell that Qin Chen wasn¡¯t born with the Chaotic Holy Body. In all these years, it had never heard of anyone who had the ability to give an ordinary person such an invincible divine body. No one had ever been able to see through Qin Chen¡¯s secret, but now, someone had discovered it! The human face seemed to be increasingly curious about Qin Chen. As such, it was no longer in a hurry to possess Qin Chen, wanting to really understand how the latter had obtained the divine body. However, Qin Chen did not answer its question. Instead, he asked again, ¡°Who are you?¡± After hearing this question, the terrifying face replied, ¡°Who am I? I¡¯ve already forgotten about it. You can call me Fire.¡± ¡°Years ago, I used proved my Dao with fire and became an emperor. But in the end, my emperor body was destroyed by a mysterious existence. As a result, only a sliver of my will has been left behind to attract future generations here, hoping to seize the opportunity to become an emperor again in this era.¡± Qin Chen had never heard of such a great emperor. It was as if the other party was not a living being, but a flame. Could it be that the true form of the great emperor¡¯s remnant will that claimed to have proven its Dao with fire was just a flame? As if it could sense Qin Chen¡¯s confusion, the remnant will said, ¡°I am the great emperor in this lake. You can call me the Divine Fire Great Emperor.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart grew nervous. To think this really was the remnant will of a great emperor. According to the flame, its emperor body had been destroyed by someone. What kind of existence could destroy an ancient great emperor¡¯s body? Could it be that there was a power that surpassed great emperors? But how was that possible? The great emperor¡¯s remnant will continued saying, ¡°Great emperors are not the ultimate.¡± Hearing these words, Qin Chen¡¯s body shook. As expected, there was an even more powerful realm above the great emperors. Those of this world had always thought that great emperors were the pinnacle of cultivation. No one had expected that there would be an even more powerful realm above the great emperors. Cultivators in that realm could easily destroy the body of great emperors. If not for Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s true form being a wisp of flame, he would not have been able to escape and hide here. He might have long been killed by that existence. ¡°You want to possess my body?¡± Qin Chen looked at the huge face, but he did not panic at all. Divine Fire Great Emperor blinked as if it was responding to him. It said, ¡°I once fought with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and was defeated. I wanted to challenge him again, and I was afraid that it would be hopeless in this era. Yet, you, a junior, barged in. As the descendant of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, your Chaotic Holy Body will definitely allow me to walk the path to becoming an emperor again. Let me become an emperor in this era and seek revenge on the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor!¡± Divine Fire Great Emperor seemed to have a grudge against the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Since he had been defeated by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor before, he was not as powerful as the latter. But now, he had seen through Qin Chen¡¯s background and knew that the latter wasn¡¯t born with the Chaotic Holy Body. Divine Fire Great Emperor spoke again, ¡°Junior, where did you get your Chaotic Holy Body?¡± Qin Chen looked at Divine Fire Great Emperor, racking his brain to find a solution. He couldn¡¯t let the other party take over his body. After all, if that happened, he would die. If one¡¯s body did not have one¡¯s soul, one would simply no longer be oneself. Instead, one would become someone else. Perhaps after the possession, Qin Chen¡¯s memories would be wholly obtained by the remnant will of Divine Fire Great Emperor. After that, the other party would be reborn and use his body to walk the path of becoming an emperor. If that happened, the world would probably be thrown into chaos, and many would die. How terrifying was the remnant will of an ancient heavenly emperor? No one in the world would be able to comprehend it. Perhaps even an Ancient God was no match for the other party. In that case, if the other party succeeded in possessing his body, the opportunity to become a great emperor in this era would be destined to fall on him. Therefore, Qin Chen was sure that he must not let Divine Fire Great Emperor possess his body. ¡°Junior, are you not going to tell me?¡± Divine Fire Great Emperor seemed to be getting impatient. Qin Chen looked up at the giant face above him and said, ¡°You are just a remnant will of a great emperor who is already dead. Why do you still have such an obsession? Tell me what you want to do. I can help you.¡± Chapter 322 - 322 Great Fortune 322 Great Fortune Divine Fire Great Emperor laughed ¡°How arrogant! Do you know what I want to do? Can you become an emperor? You better quickly hand over your secret. Even if you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll be able to find it in your memories after I take over your body!¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, Divine Fire Great Emperor was not easy to fool. It was very likely that he seriously was thinking of making the same mistake in this era by becoming an emperor and seeking revenge from the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Since ancient times, the other party was probably the only one who had his emperor body destroyed. For him to end up in such a state, it must have something to do with some kind of taboo. For example, it was possible that Divine Fire Great Emperor had discovered the secrets of those terrifying existences above the ancient great emperor realm and the latter thus wanted to kill him. Qin Chen looked at Divine Fire Great Emperor. ¡°Are you still an ancient great emperor? From what I know, it¡¯s impossible for you to become an emperor in this era. That wisp of Heaven and Earth¡¯s opportunity has already left a mark on you. It won¡¯t let you become an emperor again. In this era, only others will have the opportunity to become an emperor. Even if you possess me, you can only continue living in a daze till the end. You will never be able to become a great emperor again!¡± Qin Chen said this to stall for time. Divine Fire Great Emperor seemed to really want to possess him. Before he found a solution, he had to protect his body and not let Divine Fire Great Emperor possess him. Following this, the other party looked at Qin Chen and fell into silence. Could it be that he was right? Even if Divine Fire Great Emperor possessed him in this era, he would never be able to become an emperor again? Divine Fire Great Emperor sighed slightly, ¡°If one doesn¡¯t become an emperor, one is ultimately just an ant.¡± It seemed that Divine Fire Great Emperor had indeed encountered something after becoming an emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said those words. Qin Chen continued to ask, ¡°What kind of existence killed you back then?¡± Divine Fire Great Emperor sneered as if he had seen through Qin Chen¡¯s intentions of stalling for time. He had waited so long for someone like Qin Chen who had the Chaotic Holy Body to arrive. Naturally, he could not drag this on any longer. Every second was torture for him. ¡°Since you¡¯re not going to tell me your secret, I can only search for the answer from your memories after I possess you.¡± With that, Divine Fire Great Emperor unleashed a terrifying phantom of spiritual power on Qin Chen. The phantom¡¯s mouth was wide open as if it could swallow millions of stars and easily destroy the entire cosmic! This was simply the most terrifying scene that Qin Chen had ever seen. He seemed to be the meekest weakling before the giant face. The difference was like an ant facing a divine dragon from the nine Heavens. This gap was not something that could be ignored simply by fearlessness. Even those with the most powerful of wills would feel fear in front of this. Qin Chen did not say anything at this moment of life and death. He watched as Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s giant face inhaled and exhaled, causing the sun, moon, and stars to be destroyed. If Qin Chen were to rely on himself now, he would definitely not be able to stop the other party from possessing him. Thus, he could only use the Heavenly Eye of Samsara that he had just obtained. He had learned from the system that before reaching the ancient great emperor realm, it was best not to use the heavenly eye. Otherwise, his life might be in danger. Unfortunately, Qin Chen had now reached the most critical moment. If he didn¡¯t use it now, he might not have the chance to do so in the future. Therefore, Qin Chen let out a roar and his eyes shone with a brilliant light as his entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of gold. Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s remnant will seemed to be injured by the light as well. He closed his eyes and roared, ¡°The Heavenly Eye of Samsara! Kid, who are you? How can you have the Heavenly Eye of Samsara?!¡± At this moment, Qin Chen was like a God of the world. He looked at the remnant will of Divine Fire Great Emperor. That huge human face seemed to be in pain and did not dare to look at Qin Chen. The Heavenly Eye of Samsara in the center of Qin Chen¡¯s brows erupted with terrifying power. It sucked in Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s remnant will. Terrifying divine power collided in Qin Chen¡¯s body as if Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s remnant will was trapped in his body. However, under the suppression of the Heavenly Eye of Samsara, Divine Fire Great Emperor simply could not fight back. ¡°This is impossible!¡± Divine Fire Great Emperor kept screaming as if he was in great pain. It was impossible for a junior to have the Chaotic Holy Body and the Heavenly Eye of Samsara at the same time He roared incessantly like he wanted to break free from the suppression of the Heavenly Eye of Samsara and leave Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen let out a furious roar as well while he circulated the Chaotic Holy Body at full force. Many rules of chaos appeared on his body, allowing his body to withstand the power of Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s remnant will. This was a great fortune! Qin Chen seemed to know that the Heavenly Eye of Samsara was the nemesis of Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s remnant will. Although Divine Fire Great Emperor was once a peerless great emperor, he had already died. Yet, he still wanted to possess Qin Chen. Naturally, Qin Chen would not let the other party live any longer. He would refine the remnant will into a power that could increase his strength! The Heavenly Eye of Samsara in Qin Cheng¡¯s glabella continued to exude divine power as if it was suppressing Divine Fire Great Emperor. The remnant will of Divine Fire Great Emperor had never thought that he would provoke such a monstrous person. If he had another chance, he would definitely not choose Qin Chen as his target of possession. However, there was no turning back. Divine Fire Great Emperor kept roaring as if he wanted to tear Qin Chen¡¯s body apart and escape from the suppression of the heavenly eye. However, he couldn¡¯t succeed. The power that burst out of the heavenly eye was enough to suppress Divine Fire Great Emperor in Qin Chen¡¯s body forever. The only outcome of being suppressed in Qin Chen¡¯s body was being refined by him. This was an outcome that the Divine Fire Great Emperor could not accept. He had waited for so long, countless years, for a chance to escape. He hoped to see the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor again and seize the opportunity to become an emperor. However, before he could even leave this place, he was suppressed in Qin Chen¡¯s body by the latter¡¯s Heavenly Eye of Samsara. His power was constantly being devoured and refined. Under the suppression of the heavenly eye, he couldn¡¯t exert any strength at all. He was like a sheep facing a wolf. He couldn¡¯t fight back at all and could only wail. Unfortunately, whatever efforts Divine Fire Great Emperor made were destined to be fruitless. Since Divine Fire Great Emperor wanted to seek revenge on the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Qin Chen, who considered himself the successor of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, naturally wouldn¡¯t let him live. The safest way was to refine and devour the other party. This way, he could eliminate this disaster forever while increasing his power and breaking through again. Chapter 323 - 323 Three 323 Three-colored Tribulation Clouds Currently, Qin Chen was only at level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. He still had a long way to go before reaching the God realm. Following Qin Chen¡¯s transformation, the Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s voice gradually weakened. Finally, the world which was a blank piece of white shattered. It was the Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s spiritual world, and since he had been refined by Qin Chen, his spiritual world naturally collapsed. Qin Chen also returned to reality. Qin Chen roared, and his aura reached the peak of level 6 of the Supreme Sage realm. He was only a little bit away from breaking through to level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. When he woke up, he realized that the big scorpion and the others could move again. The big scorpion seemed to still be looking for something. As for Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, Yuji, and Whitey, all of them looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. This was because Qin Chen was about to break through. He immediately left the place and flew out of the small void world. When he left the small void world, a huge blanket of clouds appeared in the sky, as if a heavenly tribulation was about to descend! Qin Chen was speechless. Why was it that every time he broke through a level, there would be a Heavenly Dao that wanted to kill him? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao had labeled him as extremely dangerous? But only ancient great emperors had ever been able to threaten the Heavenly Dao. The greatest opportunity in the small void world was the remnant will of the Divine Fire Great Emperor. It was not just an opportunity, but also a danger. However, Qin Chen had already refined the ancient great emperor¡¯s remnant will with the Heavenly Eye of Samsara. He had thus successfully broken through to level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm with the power of the remnant will. The thunder in the sky rumbled as if it was brewing the most terrifying heavenly tribulation, wanting to kill Qin Chen. This terrifying scene made the others who had come out to see what was going on gasp in shock. ¡°To think the Elder King is already comparable to the ancient great emperors back when they were young!¡± The terrifying thunder tribulation in the sky was still brewing. It seemed to have three layers of changes. These three layers were three tribulation clouds of different colors. The first layer was black, the second was red, and the third was golden. The three-colored tribulation cloud continued to condense in the sky as if it wanted to unleash the most terrifying heavenly tribulation in the world to kill Qin Chen. The big scorpion could not help but wail, ¡°Could it be that all the opportunities on this planet have been taken away by the Elder King?¡± In contrast, Yuji was genuinely happy for Qin Chen. He would definitely benefit greatly from this opportunity. Perhaps he would have a greater chance of becoming an emperor in the future. After that, the aura fluctuations from Qin Chen¡¯s body suddenly advanced from level 6 to level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. He had just stepped through this threshold when a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from the sky! Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Holy Body to resist the heavenly tribulation. He did not expect it to be just an appetizer. The part of his body that was struck by the lightning was charred black, but the three-colored tribulation cloud in the sky seemed to be still preparing to deliver more heavenly tribulations. Did the Heavenly Dao want to take Qin Chen¡¯s life with such a terrifying heavenly tribulation? Supreme Sage Qin Tian couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Even the Heavenly Dao couldn¡¯t bear to let such a monstrous existence live on and wanted to kill Qin Chen. The more terrifying the heavenly tribulation was, the more it showed how jealous the Heavenly Dao was of Qin Chen. Prince Zhan looked at the heavenly tribulation in silence. No matter how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was, he believed that the Elder King would be able to withstand it. As long as the latter succeeded, he would become a level 7 Supreme Sage expert. In this aspect, Qin Chen had already surpassed Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, and others. This was because his true combat strength had already surpassed theirs, although his cultivation level might still be lower than theirs. This further illustrated Qin Chen¡¯s extraordinary and monstrous talent. Even among the human race and the ten thousand ancient races, no one could outshine him. If Qin Chen did not die, he would definitely occupy a place on the path to becoming an emperor in this era. At the thought of this, everyone looked up at the sky again. The sky was constantly in turmoil as if a heavenly tribulation was about to descend. They had never heard of tribulation clouds with three colors. How terrifying would such a tribulation be? The hearts of the crowd were filled with shock. Even the young ancient great emperors had probably never received such treatment before. Only Qin Chen himself knew that it was because of the system that he was able to break through step by step, causing the Heavenly Dao to feel the pressure. If he could become an ancient great emperor, the Heavenly Dao would no longer be able to restrain him. As such, the Heavenly Dao was unwilling to let that happen. That was why it sent down such a terrifying heavenly tribulation to kill Qin Chen. After going through the first heavenly tribulation, Qin Chen was more and more relaxed in dealing with the second one. Muffled thunder rumbled in the sky. This was a sign that the heavenly tribulation was about to fall. Qin Chen could not let the heavenly tribulation fall because he would most likely die once it did. Then, he let out a roar, and under everyone¡¯s surprised gaze, activated the Moving Secret Technique and charged toward the three-colored tribulation clouds in the sky as if he wanted to disperse the three-colored tribulation clouds. ¡°What? Does the Elder King want to destroy the tribulation clouds before the heavenly tribulation descends?¡± ¡°How is that possible? Is the Elder King really going to do this?¡± ¡°Even the ancient great emperors have never made such a crazy move!¡± For a moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were trembling. They looked at the sky and saw that Qin Chen seemed to be going all out in dispersing the three-colored tribulation cloud. Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation was about to descend. How could it be blocked so easily? That being said, Qin Chen indeed made the three-colored tribulation cloud feel a sense of danger and it thus released the heavenly tribulation in advance. Otherwise, the heavenly tribulation would have been even more terrifying. The heavenly tribulation struck down from the three-colored tribulation cloud. The first strike turned into a black God who held a spear and charged at Qin Chen. He threw the terrifying spear as if he wanted to nail Qin Chen on the ground and send him on his way. With the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen shattered the spear with one strike. Then, he stabbed the terrifying blade into the God¡¯s body. In an instant, the God was reduced to nothingness and disappeared. In the three-colored tribulation cloud, the black tribulation cloud was thus dispersed. Next, it was the red tribulation cloud. A rain of blood fell from the cloud. It was extremely terrifying. When the blood rain touched Qin Chen¡¯s body, he realized that red hair started to grow and cover his body. It was extremely terrifying and extremely ominous! Unfortunately, this did not stop him. He stepped on the clouds and still dispersed the red tribulation clouds. Everyone gasped. Qin Chen had actually done it! Chapter 324 - 324 Seven Major Coordinates 324 Seven Major Coordinates At the end were golden tribulation clouds. The Buddha figures in the sky seemed to be evolving as countless Dao chimes rang, making everyone feel that the breakthrough of their respective bottlenecks that they had been trapped in for many years seemed to be brought about by the last layer of golden clouds. At this moment, the red hair on Qin Chen¡¯s body gradually fell off. It was as if he had been baptized. Everyone also obtained great benefits. Why did the last tribulation cloud seem to be blessing Qin Chen? Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that the last layer of the three-colored tribulation cloud would have such a change. If this continued, he would probably transform even faster. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m about to break through my bottleneck.¡± ¡°My sage ape supernormal knowledge seems to have reached the major accomplishment stage.¡± ¡°If the Elder King breaks through a few more times, I might be able to break through with him.¡± Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with joy. This was because they had all obtained benefits. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao acknowledged Qin Chen? Qin Chen did not expect that his body seemed to have changed as well. He was, after all, the person closest to the golden tribulation cloud. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body was now plated in a layer of gold as if he had donned a layer of divine armor. Only he knew how shocking this change was. After refining and devouring the blood essence of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, his Chaotic Holy Body had long transformed into the most perfect divine body. Even the most favored child of the Heavenly Dao in this world might not have a terrifying divine body like Qin Chen. After receiving the baptism of the golden tribulation cloud now, his Chaotic Holy Body had become even more terrifying. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The heavenly tribulation should have descended to kill Qin Chen. Why had it turned out like this instead? It simply didn¡¯t make sense. Even the ancient great emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to enjoy such treatment. This was simply a blessing. If Qin Chen had not resisted the first two layers of tribulation clouds, he would have been dead. But he did. Thinking back to the second layer of red tribulation clouds, Qin Chen was filled with lingering fear. He almost thought that he had turned into a red monster. The blood rain seemed to have some kind of power that could turn people into ominous monsters. Thank God, Qin Chen was still a young junior and that his Chaotic Holy Body was unrivaled in the world, so he naturally resisted the heavenly tribulation. After the baptism of the golden tribulation cloud, Qin Chen¡¯s body had become even more powerful. He was currently already an expert at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. Let alone a peak Supreme Sage, Qin Chen even had the courage to fight against a God without relying on his spiritual power. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough, everyone came over to congratulate him. At this moment, Qin Chen also discovered that after refining the remnant will of Divine Fire Great Emperor, he had actually obtained some of the other party¡¯s memories. In those memories, the other party seemed to have left behind a few treasures in this star field. Seven coordinates. However, each coordinate was extremely dangerous. If one wasn¡¯t a God, one shouldn¡¯t head over because one might die if one wasn¡¯t careful. The locations of the treasures were quite vague and accompanied by great danger such that there seemed to be a powerful being in deep sleep. Qin Chen looked at Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan. They had four extreme emperor weapons, as well as Whitey who had an ancient God¡¯s body. It was not entirely impossible to snatch food from the tiger¡¯s mouth. Qin Chen used his divine power to display the seven coordinates for everyone to see. ¡°Elder King, what is this?¡± Prince Zhan was confused, as well as the others. ¡°This is where seven treasures are located respectively. They¡¯re in the star field we¡¯re in. They are each guarded by God-realm experts.¡± Qin Chen emphasized the word ¡°treasures¡±. There was no need to emphasize how rare those items were for even God-realm experts to see them as treasures. When the big scorpion heard this, he gulped in greed. There was only one word on his mind: treasures. Even though he already had the bronze sword, a divine weapon, no one would mind having more treasures. They probably shouldn¡¯t covet treasures guarded by God-realm experts, but none of the people present were ordinary. Even a God-realm expert would have to run away in front of them. ¡°Then what are we waiting for? If you don¡¯t take what the Heavenly Dao has given you, you¡¯ll be punished!¡± The big scorpion was so excited that he could not wait to move. The eyes of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan lit up. This time, they did not get any benefits. If they could get some treasures, that would naturally be great. ¡°The star field has changed, so the coordinates on it might have changed. We need to find them.¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to follow the Elder King,¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian said. ¡°Me too!¡± Prince Zhan scratched his head and laughed. It was needless to say that Yuji and the big scorpion agreed as well, and Whitey only ever followed Qin Chen¡¯s orders. On this planet, the greatest opportunity had already been obtained by Qin Chen, which was the remnant will of the Divine Fire Great Emperor. And now, the remnant will of Divine Fire Great Emperor had been devoured and refined by Qin Chen. The latter had also obtained information on the treasures that Divine Fire Great Emperor had prepared. If Divine Fire Great Emperor had gotten his hands on those treasures, he might have been able to recover to an extremely terrifying state. At that time, even if he wasn¡¯t an ancient great emperor, he would still be one of the strongest in this world. These seven coordinates had been left behind for his recovery. Those God-realm experts would never have thought that an ancient great emperor already had his eyes on them. Qin Chen led the group on their way, searching for the location of the seven coordinates. Even a God-realm expert would have to run away when faced with an expert with an ancient God¡¯s body and four extreme emperor weapons left behind by ancient great emperors. This was the terrifying strength of Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Let¡¯s conquer the vast cosmic! The Gods of the universe, grandpa scorpion is here!¡± Their power was enough to crush many experts. It was no longer a dream to dominate the cosmic. Following the seven coordinates left behind by Divine Fire Great Emperor, the group continued to traverse the void. The entire process was extremely lonely and boring. Along the way, they also encountered powerful cosmic races, but they simply killed them. No one could stop them. On an ancient planet, an old man who seemed to have passed away was sitting there. However, he woke up at this moment. His eyes flew open, and his gaze was like lightning. This ancient planet was his territory, and he had already cleared the area, so no living beings would dare to approach it. However, at this moment, he frowned. His aura was terrifying and like divine lightning when he moved. He was actually a God-realm expert! In an era where ancient great emperors didn¡¯t appear, a God-realm expert was enough to dominate the cosmic. ¡°Chaos is coming. Will anyone become an emperor in this era?¡± Chapter 325 - 325 The Great God Realm Elder 325 The Great God Realm Elder The Great God realm elder stood up. He had been sleeping here for countless years, so long that he had lost track of time. ¡°I can sense a great danger approaching me. There will definitely be a great battle. Which old enemy has appeared?¡± Come what may, he would block anything that obstructed his way. Having cultivated to the God realm, he had long had a unique sense of life and death. His long beard was white like snow, and his blood energy was burning like the blazing sun, shocking people¡¯s minds. He held a dead branch in his hand, and it actually glowed with new life, a little green sprout having grown from it. After countless changes in trajectory, these coordinates no longer had any reference value. The entire star field had been turned upside down because of Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s plan. Qin Chen and the others transmigrated through the void and teleported continuously. After a month, they finally arrived at an ancient planet. There seemed to be no living beings on this peaceful ancient planet. It was like a forbidden land. It had taken Qin Chen and the others much effort to reach here. Only the big scorpion remained passionate. Under the temptation of treasures, he explored with all his might, wanting to find the locations of the seven coordinates. However, after a month of searching, no useful clues were found. The seven coordinates seemed to have disappeared from the star field. The cosmic was like the vast ocean. If this continued, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. ¡°Shoo, shoo, shoo!¡± Seeing some meteorites flying over, the big scorpion punched out, shattering them. He firmly believed that they would soon find one of the seven coordinates. Qin Chen casually looked around. This place seemed very normal, just like any other place. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ An ancient planet!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s expression suddenly changed as he said in shock. Ancient planets were not rare in the universe. However, this ancient planet was very similar to one of the ancient planets in the seven coordinates. Could it be that their destination was on this ancient planet? It was an extremely dark ancient planet, like a black ball. Looking at it made people feel suffocated. It was surrounded by three stars, which made the place look very similar to one of the seven coordinates. The star field was vast and boundless. The probability of a similarity was extremely small. Prince Zhan¡¯s face revealed a contemplative look. ¡°Elder King, do you want to go and take a look?¡± This was the first time they had seen such a similar planet after searching for so long. If this ancient planet was really one of the seven coordinates that they were looking for, they could not miss it. Qin Chen nodded. This ancient planet was very similar to one of the places they saw among the seven coordinates. It was very likely to be one. The black ancient planet was also surrounded by three stars, so it didn¡¯t seem to be a coincidence. Rather, the chances of it being a coincidence were simply too small. Supreme Sage Qin Tian also expressed his opinion, ¡°We¡¯ll know once we go and take a look. However, we must be extremely careful. If that is our destination, there will be Great God-realm figures on the ancient planet.¡± A treasure that could attract the attention of Great Gods could only be rare and wondrous. Since it could even help Divine Fire Great Emperor recover, it must be even more extraordinary. Therefore, when they fought with such a terrifying expert later, there would definitely be a huge battle. There had never been a grand occasion where four extreme emperor weapons were used together. Even though Qin Chen had two extreme emperor weapons, he could not last long. He could only end the battle quickly. They couldn¡¯t afford to lose, which they would if the battle dragged on. What was awaiting them was a tough battle. Among them, besides Whitey, there wasn¡¯t even a single God-realm expert. Yet with such a lineup, they still dared to challenge a Great God. One had to know that Great Gods weren¡¯t weed that grew by the side of the road. They were true peerless experts. To be able to reach this realm, they basically had terrifying talent and great luck. Many talents stopped before the Great God realm because it was too difficult to break through. One had to be an unparalleled expert to achieve such a feat. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach this realm. Great Gods were only a single step away from reaching the ancient great emperor realm. They were facing experts in such a realm, yet Qin Chen and the others still wanted to snatch food from the jaws of the tiger and bite off a piece of meat from a great God. How terrifying was that? It was simply shocking. If others were to find out about this, they would probably go crazy. Before they could even land on the ancient planet, a terrifying fluctuation burst out! Only a Great God could have a such terrifying aura. It seemed that they had come to the right place. They had finally found one of the seven coordinates! In that instant, Qin Chen¡¯s face turned serious, because this terrifying fluctuation made him feel a sense of fear. ¡°Be careful, everyone!¡± As soon as Qin Chen spoke, Prince Zhan activated his divine iron rod and released a terrifying aura that soared into the sky! Supreme Sage Qin Tian was not willing to be outdone either. He channeled all the power in his body into the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword. Instantly, the sword was like an emperor descending, its emperor¡¯s might unparalleled! Two extreme emperor weapons were activated one after another, and this made the Great God on the ancient planet feel the pressure. He did not expect that there would be such a terrifying fluctuation. What were these people trying to do? Then, the Great God roared. As one of the seven coordinates left behind by Divine Fire Great Emperor, the power of the Great God on the ancient planet was extremely powerful! To think he needed an ancient planet to withstand the pressure. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were the main attackers, while Whitey was the vanguard. In an instant, Whitey turned into a beam of light and rushed to the ancient planet. The Great God realm elder roared in anger. He could tell that the person in front of him was also a Great God, and someone he knew! ¡°Ancient Chaos? Aren¡¯t you already dead? Why are you here?¡± That being said, something seemed off about the other party. This Ancient Chaos might not be the original one that he knew. The old man¡¯s eyes were sharp. He could tell instantly that Whitey was only half a Great God. ¡°Just who is it that wants to attack me?!¡± The old man waved the withered branch in his hand, instantly cracking the void and shattering the meteorites within ten thousand miles! It was like a whip from God! If there was a small star before him, it would probably have exploded! In an instant, the attack landed on Whitey. But what was Whitey made of? His body was that of a Great God! A deafening sound as loud as a thunderclap could be heard! Whitey was sent flying, and in the blink of an eye, he had crashed through a planet that was a hundred thousand feet away! Still, there were no obvious wounds on Whitey¡¯s body, which was enough to show how terrifying the Great God¡¯s body was! Chapter 326 - 326 A Instantaneous Moment of Splendor 326 A Instantaneous Moment of Splendor Whitey wasn¡¯t seriously injured. Its body was that of a Great God, so how could it be easily injured? At that moment, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan had already activated their Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and celestial iron rod respectively as they charged toward the elder. The old man had never thought that he would have such a day that he would be treated so grandly. This was simply a surprise for him, all shock and no happiness. The more terrifying the opponent, the likelier the Great God would die. Moreover, it would not be an ordinary death. He would die without even knowing why. He would be confused and wondering when he had offended these lunatics. It was like a knife falling from the sky when a person was just sitting at home. The destructive battle with dazzling light was a top-level battle. In the era where there were no great emperors, no one had ever thought that there would be such a shocking scene. To think someone dared to provoke a Great God. It was simply bearding the lion in its den. ¡°Die!¡± A peerless figure like the Great God had his pride, after all. How could he laugh and forget about it after being treated like this? He immediately made a killing move. The withered branch in the Great God elder¡¯s hand had transformed into a terrifying towering tree that seemed to have survived from the ancient era. The runes on the towering tree were vanishing, but it was clear it had not reached its limit since it could transform to such a size. With the help of the Great God, the tree reached a hundred thousand feet tall! Then, it smashed toward Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan. To think the terrifying giant tree could transform to such a terrifying extent. The two targets felt as if they were facing the most undefeatable God in the world. Heaven-reaching divine might was unleashed as the two extreme emperor weapons, the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword and the divine iron rod, were like divine treasures that descended from the celestial realm. They bloomed with the most terrifying fluctuations that were like huge waves set off by a vast ocean, enough to destroy the river of stars for thousands of miles! Such a terrifying wave swept across the cosmic and reached the stars thousands of miles away, causing dust to rise. This was the power of the extreme emperor weapons! However, the Great God-realm expert was not to be trifled with either. A huge piece of wood shot out, and golden light rushed into the sky. At every instant, countless divine powers fell! Although he was old, he was still peerless! A Great God was indeed a Great God! Even though he was already past his prime, he was still not a character to be trifled with! With a branch in hand, his divine might traveled thousands of miles and slashed through a planet! In the hands of the Great God, the branch had already turned into the sharpest blade, and the blade light illuminated the sky. The Son of Heaven¡¯s sword and divine iron rod were fully activated, but they were still suppressed. This was related to the cultivation realm of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan. The stronger they were, the more terrifying the power they could unleash. Unfortunately, they were facing a Great God. The extreme emperor weapon could only somewhat suppress the elder. It was time for Qin Chen to make his move. Qin Chen turned into a stream of light and performed the moving secret technique. His body tore through the void and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived on the battlefield. The old man roared. He wanted to exterminate these juniors! How could a generational Great God be defeated like this?! Qin Chen poured the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo in his hand. With the white jade celestial bell on his shoulder, he unleashed the phenomenon of celestials and Buddhas preaching the Dao and unleashed extreme celestial might! Then, he charged at the Great God. ¡°Kill!¡± The Great God fought back and used supreme secret techniques and emperor-level supernormal knowledge. Although his beard was white as snow, he was once invincible! His blood energy was like a blazing sun burning in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. His eyes looked disdainfully at all living beings as he shot out two bolts of lightning that could penetrate the planets. His body was like a furnace as flames burned on him, condensing into a fire dragon. As expected of a peerless expert! Just the pressure he unleashed was unbearable for everyone. Meanwhile, Yuji and the big scorpion were getting nervous. They had never fought with a Great God before. Even with four extreme emperor weapons, they were still not 100% confident. After all, a living Great God was only a step away from the ancient great emperor realm, and they had once looked up to that realm. Although the other party hadn¡¯t arrived in the realm yet, he could still compete with the heavens! ¡°So what if you have extreme emperor weapons? Young ones, it¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re still too weak. Today, I¡¯m going accomplish the feat of challenging four extreme emperor weapons all at once!¡± The Great God exploded with a strong killing intent. At this moment, Whitey flew over as fast as a ray of light. It punched out. Although the punch had zero technique, it could still penetrate the void and shatter the surrounding space! The power of space strangulation shot towards the Great God. ¡°If you were Ancient Chaos, you would still be qualified to fight me. But you¡¯re not even Ancient Chaos, so get lost!¡± The Great God roared, and his body shone extremely brilliantly. His punch was like a pouring river of stars, and the aftermath could even shatter meteorites. The attack landed on Whitey. This time, Whitey was injured. Cobweb-like cracks appeared on its body, which was enough to show the power of the punch. ¡°Not good!¡± Qin Chen roared. He could tell that Whitey would not be able to withstand the attacks if two more punches landed on it. Therefore, he unleashed the power of his extreme emperor weapons and charged at the old man. He couldn¡¯t let the latter kill Whitey. Facing four extreme emperor weapons at the same time was extremely difficult for the old man. However, it was also an honor for him to die in such a grand battle in his later years. He was no longer stingy about his life origin. Instead, he went all out, pursuing to bloom to the extreme, wanting to leave a legacy behind in this world! This was an intense battle. Both sides had fought to the point where the sky turned dark and the stars dimmed. The living beings on the outer perimeter witnessed this scene only to be shocked for all eternity. Planets were constantly being slashed through. The battle was brutal and caused people to tremble. It was said that chaotic times were about to arrive. Could this be a sign? The Great God was bleeding and everything was blooming! The Great God-realm elder smashed his withered branch into the ancient planet¡¯s ground. Then, a touch of green rose from the pitch-black ancient planet, causing the ancient planet to no longer be dead. A terrifying fluctuation exploded from the Great God-realm old man¡¯s body. He wanted to fight again. If he had chosen to escape, he would not have died like this. But he didn¡¯t, because he was a Great God! He was the peak of this world! The Great God elder¡¯s body decayed rapidly like a piece of paper burning. Finally, he turned into ashes and was buried in the vast universe. His last strike was this ancient planet itself. Although the old man¡¯s physical body had died, his consciousness was still around. He wanted to let his consciousness be the last dynamite and become his last moment of splendor! Even if his soul was destroyed and he couldn¡¯t enter the cycle of reincarnation, he would still do the same! ¡°Quickly retreat!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s first thought was to swallow and refine the last drop of blood essence left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. He recovered to his peak state and infused his divine power into the extreme emperor weapons. Then, he used the moving secret technique and stood in front of Yuji and the big scorpion. Chapter 327 - 327 The Great Nature Sutra 327 The Great Nature Sutra The ancient planet, which was no longer dead, was filled with grief. Qin Chen was well aware that this would be the most terrifying attack he had ever seen. After all, this was the full-power attack left behind by a peerless expert. The faces of Supreme Sage Qin Chen and Prince Zhan changed drastically. They knew how terrifying this attack was. For a moment, the innate sword embryo burst out with the rules of chaos! Tens of thousands of divine rays bloomed! The white jade celestial bell was like a God leaving the cauldron as its emperor¡¯s might seemed to come from ancient times! The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword¡¯s unparalleled emperor¡¯s might was as if Emperor Shi himself had arrived! The divine iron rod¡¯s heavenly dharmic power was like the return of the battle sage ape!! In contrast, the elder¡¯s laughter rang out from the ancient planet that had turned green. ¡°Haha, hahaha!¡± He had never wished to become an emperor! To have such a grand scene to send him on his way, how fortunate! How very fortunate! Whitey looked at the ancient planet that was exploding and let out a furious roar. Then, its voice dissipated as it was swept away in all directions by the terrifying explosion. Countless stars were affected, and the three closest stars were reduced to cosmic dust. In this terrifying battle, the death of the Great God was the finale. Scarlet multicolored light and divine patterns interweaved. After the ancient planet exploded, there were shockingly planet core fragments. That ancient planet had actually developed a life of its own! Unfortunately, it had exploded as the Great God elder withered. It was so terrifying! Yuji and the big scorpion had no words for the terrifying scene they had just witnessed. It was an indescribable scene. The innate sword embryo and the white jade celestial bell in front of Qin Chen were trembling non-stop. Even though he had the Chaotic Holy Body, he still spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°This Great God¡¯s end was near. We arrived too early,¡± Qin Chen smiled bitterly, ¡°If we had come a little later, this Great God might have died naturally. There was no need for him to die in such a battle.¡± It was a loss, a big loss. This was a Great God who wanted to die. Even if Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t come, the old man wouldn¡¯t be able to make it. Qin Chen looked into the distance. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword protected Supreme Sage Qin Chen while the divine iron staff protected Prince Zhan. Both of them had already fainted from their injuries. If Qin Chen had not refined the last drop of blood essence left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, he would have ended up in a more miserable state than Supreme Sage Qin Chen and Prince Zhan. But fortunately, it seemed that the two of them were not dead and still alive. This time, to not die was already a profit. As for Whitey, it returned with unsteady steps, its shoulder socket empty. The attack just now had destroyed one of its arms. One should know that this was the body of a Great God. It was already good enough that Whitey could survive such a terrifying attack. Qin Chen looked at the place where the explosion had just occurred and the light floating there. A planet core! This ancient planet was already evolving towards a higher life form. If it hadn¡¯t exploded with the old man, it would have been a miracle! How terrifying was it for an ancient planet to turn into a living being? It turned out that Divine Fire Great Emperor was after the planet core. The planet core was like a celestial item, emitting scarlet multicolored light and the radiance of divine patterns. In the dark cosmic, it was like dazzling starlight. An ordinary planet would not have a planet core. Only those with living beings could develop a planet core, but there were very few such planets. How rare were planet cores that emitted scarlet multicolored light and divine patterns? When the big scorpion saw the planet core, he didn¡¯t move. He knew that Qin Chen and the others had almost lost their lives to obtain this thing. However, that didn¡¯t stop him from staring at the planet core. ¡°A treasure!¡± If one were to refine and absorb the planet core, it might be able to greatly increase one¡¯s cultivation realm. Even an ordinary Great God would also be unable to resist the temptation of the planet core. After all, not only could the planet core be devoured and refined, but it could also be used to forge divine weapons! It had countless wondrous uses. In fact, they couldn¡¯t be counted as having killed the old man because the latter¡¯s strength had long weakened. In the end, he used his life origin to fight with no qualms and released his last splendor before he died. He wanted to die. Qin Chen laughed bitterly in his heart. No wonder the Great God was someone who could glimpse into the ancient great emperor realm. Every Great God was an unparalleled expert and could not be underestimated. On the ancient planet, half of the withered branch fell and stabbed into the ground. A little sprout actually grew, adding a touch of green. It seemed to represent life and hope. Without death, how could there be life? [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen did not expect to be able to check in here. Of course, he chose yes. ¡°Check-in!¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have checked in to the land left behind by the Great God Muzha. You have obtained the reward, the Great Nature Sutra!] [Great Nature Sutra: A Great God level technique. After cultivating it, one can be reborn with a wisp of vitality. It can only be used once. Even if there is only a drop of blood left, one can still be revived.] Qin Chen was shocked! What kind of heaven-defying cultivation technique was this? Even some emperor-level cultivation techniques were not as powerful as this, right? Was this Great God-realm elder, Muzha, so invincible? To be able to be reborn from a drop of blood was almost immortality! If Qin Chen placed a drop of blood somewhere in advance, that would be equivalent to him having a chance to resurrect. This was simply a cheat! The big scorpion collected all the planet core fragments and pieced them together into a ball, then handed it to Qin Chen. After that, Qin Chen brought Supreme Sage Qin Chen and Prince Zhan to an ancient planet nearby. He guarded them and waited for them to wake up. After several days, the two finally opened their eyes. They were seriously injured, but fortunately, they survived. Next, Qin Chen divided the planet core into five parts, one for each Both Yuji and the big scorpion were embarrassed to take it. After all, this time, they didn¡¯t do anything at all. Supreme Sage Qin Chen¡¯s face was pale as he said, ¡°Since the Elder King gave it to you, then take it.¡± Even Prince Zhan nodded. Finally, under Qin Chen¡¯s insistence, Yuji and the big scorpion accepted their portion of the planet core excitedly. This time, they finally understood how small and insignificant they were. They were simply too weak. They had to properly raise their realms this time. They wanted to make themselves stronger. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to devour the planet core and refine it. After Qin Chen had done so, it was a huge help to him, allowing him to advance closer to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. He might even be able to break through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm in one go! Once he reached that level, he would not be far from the Shifang divine realm. Chapter 328 - 328 Another Assassin 328 Another Assassin If Divine Fire Great Emperor had obtained the complete planet core, it would be hard to say how much of his strength he could recover. After all, the other party was an ancient great emperor, to begin with, though he was a weird one since he had his emperor body destroyed by someone else, which was simply something unprecedented. Qin Chen guessed that there was definitely a place where many existences above the ancient great emperor realm gathered. On the same note, where did Emperor Shi, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, Supreme Emperor Huang, and the other ancient great emperors go? Could it be that place? In the blink of an eye, an unknown amount of time had passed. Qin Chen finally condensed his aura and began his breakthrough. Without exception, tribulation clouds condensed in the sky again. Unfortunately, the tribulation clouds this time were far less powerful than the last time. Why? Had the Heavenly Dao already admitted defeat? Everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. They had thought that they would be able to obtain benefits as they did from the golden tribulation clouds last time. But now, there was only an ordinary tribulation cloud for show. Yuji reached the peak of the Supreme Sage realm, only one step away from becoming a God! She could become a terrifying God-realm expert at any time. As for the big scorpion, he had advanced from level 5 to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm in one fell swoop, breaking through three levels in a row. There was also Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who reached level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. Prince Zhan was already a level 9 Supreme Sage realm expert, and his accumulation over the years finally erupted at this moment, allowing him to break through to the God realm! He was the first God-realm expert among them! The tribulation clouds in the sky had yet to strike down before Qin Chen simply scattered them. After that, his cultivation stabilized at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. Qin Chen looked into the distance. In this vast universe, there were still six of the seven coordinates that they had not gone to. He wondered how terrifying those places would be. Now, they already had the God-realm Prince Zhan among them. As such, even if they met a Great God-realm expert again, they wouldn¡¯t be in such a difficult situation again. ¡°Let¡¯s continue!¡± Apart from Whitey, who had lost an arm, the rest of them were fine. Qin Chen had Whitey practice an emperor-grade fist technique day and night. Finally, there were some results. At the very least, it could launch more powerful attacks. However, there was another problem. Whitey did not have any divine power. One couldn¡¯t make bricks without straw. No matter how strong its body was, it was useless. Could it be that he could only let Whitey walk down the path of body cultivation? That was not an easy path to take. After all, Whitey¡¯s current body was already that of a Great God. It was already extremely powerful. It would not be easy to make the body even more powerful and make it breakthrough. After all, this was a Great God¡¯s body that had already been cultivated into an extremely powerful realm. If he wanted to improve the Great God¡¯s body to the next realm, divine items and natural treasures he would need would probably be at the legendary level. Only ancient great emperors could consume such items. Heavenly treasures were the sole items that could be of some help to the body of a Great God. But how could it be so easy to find something that only existed in legends and was enjoyed by ancient great emperors? Therefore, Qin Chen could only give up and increase Whitey¡¯s strength. During this period, Whitey had been cultivating non-stop and had already familiarized itself with all kinds of cultivation techniques. It had even mastered many key points. It was a pity that without divine power, it could not unleash all of its body¡¯s power, and the power of its attacks was cut in half. Right now, Qin Chen and the others were searching in the vast universe. The seven coordinates were no longer of any use as a reference since the changes brought about by Divine Fire Great Emperor had turned the entire star field upside down. Therefore, they could only continue searching blindly. Along the way, they came across other treasures that they took, even if there were other geniuses from powerful cosmic races around. Even the peak God-realm experts were no match for Qin Chen and the others. As soon as Whitey attacked, it would destroy the opponent¡¯s soul. It was terrifying! As such, along the way, there were naturally no more experts who came forward to deal with Qin Chen and the others. After all, those who wanted to deal with Qin Chen and the others had all died. As expected of Whitey, who had a Great God¡¯s body. Once it released its might, many experts would run away in fear the second they sensed it. They were definitely no match for a Great God-realm expert. If they made him unhappy, wouldn¡¯t they die? However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare let Whitey release its God-realm aura to no end. If the other Gods sensed it, conflicts would arise. And if both parties couldn¡¯t get along and thus fought, it wouldn¡¯t be a good ending. When facing a God-realm expert, Qin Chen and the others would only act if there was something in it. If killing a God-realm expert was a thankless task and there was nothing in it, why would they make a move? Wouldn¡¯t that be a huge loss? It was just like the seven coordinates. Their goal was to kill those guarding the treasures and obtain the treasures that even the Divine Fire Great Emperor wanted. This time, they had obtained a planet core. If this planet core had not shattered and was consumed whole by someone, that someone might even be able to break through to the peak of the God realm. It was mainly because the planet core had already been shattered that Qin Chen might as well share it with everyone. Whitey was the only one who didn¡¯t get a share. After all, it already had an ancient God¡¯s body. Even if it were to consume the planet core, there would be no obvious effect. It would be better to give it to others to refine since it would bring them great improvement. Suddenly, everyone sensed a wisp of killing intent. The killing intent came very quickly and very abruptly. Qin Chen looked around and began to scan the surroundings with his God-realm spiritual power. Finally, they found some clues. It turned out that a level 9 Supreme Sage realm expert had set his eyes on them, but this expert didn¡¯t notice that Qin Chen and the others had a God-realm expert among them. He didn¡¯t even realize that Whitey had the body of a Great God. It could be imagined how panicked this level 9 Supreme Sage realm cultivator was when he found out. Qin Chen felt a very familiar fluctuation from this level 9 Supreme Sage realm cultivator, which was very similar to the assassin of Divine that he had killed before. This kind of concealment skill was probably only available to that particular assassin organization. Was he an assassin from Divine? This was a possibility. Qin Chen then chased after the other party. Similarly, the others also followed. The assassin of Divine was on the verge of collapse. He suddenly felt incredibly miserable! To think he was being chased by so many experts. His hiding techniques could not hide him from Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power. Chapter 329 - 329 Demonic Bull 329 Demonic Bull Even a Great God-realm expert had died at the hands of Qin Chen and the others. Yet now, an assassin of Divine dared to come looking for them. Wasn¡¯t this just seeking death? This assassin from Divine probably never thought that there would be a day when he would fall straight into a pit of fire. Qin Chen would definitely not let the assassins of Divine go. If there were one, he would kill one. If there were two, he would kill a pair. These insects hiding behind the scenes made him feel very displeased. If it was a powerful assassin, he might not have been so angry. But a level 9 Supreme Sage assassin¡­ Wasn¡¯t this just sending himself to death by Qin Chen¡¯s hands? How could Qin Chen let go of an opponent that had sent himself to his door? With that, he chased after the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin. In the end, the assassin was almost desperate. He had no choice but to send out a distress signal while running for his life. Behind him, Qin Chen and the others were like chewing gum, sticking to him and not letting him escape. He knew that if this continued, it would be a dead end. Ultimately, he could only die here. At this moment, just as Qin Chen and the others were about to surround the assassin, the void suddenly trembled, and a figure walked out from the spatial rift. It was a top-notch assassin who was actually a brawny man in the God realm. As soon as the brawny man appeared, he roared, ¡°Who dares to hurt Divine¡¯s assassin?¡± His appearance caught Qin Chen and the others off guard. The big scorpion slowly said, ¡°Another big fish has come.¡± The level 9 Supreme Sage assassin was overjoyed. He didn¡¯t expect that another assassin from Divine would really come to save him. One had to know that it was not easy to encounter another assassin from the Divine in the same area. The chances of that happening were simply too low. However, after Whitey roared, the God-realm assassin was dumbfounded. He must have come to the wrong place. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, stay,¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. Then, everyone attacked together. Prince Zhan looked at the God-realm assassin and laughed, ¡°Leave this guy to me!¡± He had just broken through to the God realm and had not fought with anyone yet. This was a good opportunity for him to see how it felt to be a God. Initially, Qin Chen wanted to let Whitey do it. However, since Prince Zhan said so, he thus left the God-realm assassin to Prince Zhan. Qin Chen¡¯s target now was the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin. In just a breath¡¯s time, Prince Zhan and the God-realm assassin had exchanged hundreds of blows. An assassin who had reached the God realm could no longer be measured with common sense. Prince Zhan attacked with all his might, and the divine iron rod in his hand seemed to exude a terrifying power. One strike of the rod destroyed a star, and terrifying power burst out that seemed to reach the heavens and look down on all existence. The God-realm assassin wanted to cry but had no tears. He had no choice but to fight. When Prince Zhan broke through to the God realm, he had completely transformed. His combat strength had multiplied by more than a hundred times. With the addition of the ancient imperial weapon, the divine iron rod, the burly man was no match for him at all. The other party spat out blood in no time! Then, the assassin performed a secret technique and turned into a demonic bull that was hundreds of millions of feet tall. Following this, he charged toward Prince Zhan. Seeing that the God-realm assassin¡¯s true form was a demonic bull, Prince Zhan¡¯s fighting spirit rose. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he was. Prince Zhan held the divine iron rod in his hand, and his body expanded to a million feet tall, which was comparable to a planet! Heavenly transformation! The divine iron rod in his hand was filled with divine power and was even more terrifying than before. He smashed down with the rod and shattered the meteorites in the universe. This was only the power of the divine iron rod itself. ¡°Moo!¡± The demonic bull was unafraid. Its eyes turned red as it tried to use its body to resist the divine iron rod. However, it didn¡¯t expect the divine iron rod to have a heavenly emperor¡¯s might and be burning with roaring flames! Prince Zhan¡¯s body was covered in golden light. He was like an undefeatable God of War as he swept out. This rod was so terrifying that it could even shake the cosmic! The more the demonic bull fought, the more shocked it was. How could it fight this? The other party had an extreme emperor weapon! Even if it was not weak, it was still no match for this extreme emperor weapon! With a loud bang, Prince Zhan had killed the demonic bull that was in the God realm! He evaporated the blood on the divine iron rod. After witnessing the death of the demonic bull, who was in the God realm and was even more powerful than he was, and watching the demonic bull completely lose consciousness, the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin went crazy when he saw Qin Chen walking towards him step by step. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Then, he charged toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen had been worried that this level 9 Supreme Sage expert would lose his will to fight. Seeing the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin charging towards him, Qin Chen immediately unleashed his God-realm spiritual power and instantly strangled the other party¡¯s soul. Before the level 9 Supreme Sage assassin could unleash his full strength, he fell to the ground, no longer breathing. It seemed that he would not survive. The big scorpion was the fastest to put away the interspatial rings of Divine¡¯s dead assassins. God knows how many treasures there were in those rings, so he should take care of them. The God-realm assassin was also taken care of by Prince Zhan. Although the demonic bull was still strong, it was no match for Prince Zhan who had the ancient imperial weapon, the divine iron rod. Right to the last breath it took, Divine¡¯s demonic bull was still regretting why it had taken the initiative and walked right into the muzzle. Even if a celestial came, it would be difficult to save it. After all, it had just sensed the terrifying aura that Whitey exuded. The latter was definitely above the God realm, an existence it could not afford to provoke. Whitey could kill it here with a flip of its palm. This was the power of Qin Chen and the others. With their current strength, if they were to meet a God-realm expert again, they would not be as puckered as the first time. In the end, Prince Zhan was the one who kept the spatial ring that the demonic bull assassin had left behind. The demonic bull didn¡¯t even have time to use its weapon before it transformed back into its original form. Unfortunately, it still couldn¡¯t withstand the power of Prince Zhan¡¯s rod and was killed. Qin Chen and the rest continued to move forward. If they wanted to reach the remaining six coordinates, they could only search one area at a time. They did not expect to run into assassins from Divine here. One could only blame the assassins¡¯ bad luck for being late. After all, if they had arrived earlier, they might have been able to find an opportunity to ambush Qin Chen and the others when they were fighting against the Great God. However, Qin Chen and the others had already recovered, so the assassination was destined to fail. Chapter 330 - 330 Killing Calamity Planet 330 Killing Calamity Planet After Qin Chen, Prince Zhan, and the others killed the assassins of Divine, they continued to travel. They constantly tore the void apart and teleported through the cosmic, searching for the other six locations of the seven coordinates. With the experience of dealing with a Great God, they were more confident now that their strength had increased greatly. A few of the places among the seven coordinates did not even seem to have any Great God-realm figures guarding them. Instead, there were only killing tribulations there, all of which could easily kill Great God-realm experts. Qin Chen and the others searched for a long time, but they still found nothing. It was as if the other six coordinates were hiding from them. In this vast universe, it was extremely difficult to find even one of the seven coordinates. Those weren¡¯t places that could be found easily, after all. They were places that even ancient great emperors yearned for and treasure lands that the Divine Fire Great Emperor had left for himself to once again recover to the peak of his strength. The treasures within them must be extremely precious. Qin Chen and the others were not discouraged. After all, if they continued to search like this, they would find it one day. Along the way, they met many experts from powerful cosmic races. Some of these experts revealed killing intent towards Qin Chen and the others and were directly caught by Whitey before being blown up. Whitey had a Great God¡¯s body, so how could these ordinary God-realm experts resist its attacks? The experts from the powerful cosmic races who did not reveal any killing intent towards Qin Chen were released. Along the way, they were cultivated while searching, wondering where the remaining six places of the seven coordinates were. They simply couldn¡¯t find the places after the star field changed. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Divine Fire Great Emperor wanted to attract junior cultivators to possess them, the star field wouldn¡¯t have changed. As an ancient great emperor, the other party must have left many backup plans. It should¡¯ve been extremely easy for him to cause a change in an entire star field. It was a pity that he did not expect Qin Chen to be such a freak. He went for wool and came home shorn, even losing his remnant will. After Qin Chen and the rest had wandered around for God knows how long, they heard a piece of news from an expert of a powerful cosmic race. It was said that a mysterious treasure land had appeared nearby, but there were tens of thousands of killing tribulations there, and it was so dangerous it could kill Great Gods. No one could survive there. Qin Chen was shocked. Wasn¡¯t this very similar to the description of one of the seven coordinates? Could it be that someone had already discovered that place and wanted to go in and seize the treasure? Something that could catch the attention of Divine Fire Great Emperor was naturally no ordinary item. Qin Chen and the rest knew that if they stalled, the treasure would probably fall into someone else¡¯s hands. The big scorpion kept clamoring, ¡°Where is that place?! Quickly bring us there!¡± The expert from the powerful cosmic race had no choice but to bring Qin Chen and the others along. After all, he could not defeat Qin Chen and the other experts. If he were to put up a stubborn resistance, only death would await him. At the same time, he was also cunning as he led Qin Chen and the others to the place with the most killing arrays. However, it was not easy to enter such a place. After all, the killing tribulation of this treasure land could kill even Great Gods. How terrifying was that?! Even though Qin Chen and the rest had arrived and confirmed that this was one of the seven coordinates, they did not dare to enter rashly either. ¡°This is the place.¡± Qin Chen let out a sigh of relief. They had finally found it. Even they didn¡¯t dare to ignore the attacks raging in the place. Then, the expert from the powerful cosmic race who had led them here smiled and asked, ¡°My Lords, may I leave now?¡± Qin Chen nodded his head and let the guy go. The guy only managed to take a few steps before being killed by a terrifying God-realm expert and turning into a bloody mist. The one who made the move was a God-realm expert who had reached the peak of the God realm and was only one step away from entering a more terrifying realm. After killing the expert of the powerful cosmic race, he looked at Qin Chen and the others and said, ¡°Fellow Daoists, please don¡¯t believe him. He¡¯s extremely despicable. To think he tricked all of you to come here. This place is extremely terrifying, and even I don¡¯t dare to enter easily. There are a lot of entering gaps here, but this is the place where the killing tribulations are the most.¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion gritted his teeth in hatred. To think the guy from the powerful cosmic race had lured them to this dangerous place. He really deserved to die! Then, the expert took the initiative to express his goodwill. He wanted to join forces with Qin Chen and the others to explore the treasure land. After all, he could see that their strength was absolutely terrifying. He had even heard that the emperor-realm battle that had broken out a while ago was probably the doing of these people. If he followed them in search of the treasures, the chances of him coming out alive would be higher. Everyone knew that although there were countless treasures in this treasure land, there were also countless dangers. If he was not careful, he could die. It could be seen that the expert wanted to follow Qin Chen and the others into the treasure land to explore because that was indeed the most protected way. However, the most valuable treasure was the one that Divine Fire Great Emperor valued. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others only had one goal in mind, and that was to find the treasure that Divine Fire Great Emperor wanted. Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s original plan had been to attract members of the younger generation over so that he could take the opportunity to possess them, then search for the treasures that would make him stronger. Even though the entire star field had changed, Divine Fire Great Emperor could surely still be able to find the places after the change. Many places had produced some extremely dangerous and treasured lands. However, the only places that really caught his attention were the seven coordinates. Qin Chen looked at this expert from a powerful cosmic race. Although he was very sincere and his strength was not bad, he would definitely be a burden if they allowed him to follow them. After all, Qin Chen and the others had four extreme emperor weapons and a monster with a God-realm body like Whitey. In the search for treasures, Qin Chen and the others would definitely be the ones to expend the most effort. Should they bring this guy along? Qin Chen was a little hesitant. As long as he agreed, it would be equivalent to everyone agreeing. After all, Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, Yuji, and the big scorpion all listened to him. In the end, he still nodded in agreement. The expert was overjoyed and quickly reported his name. He was called Dao Yi. Among the seven coordinates, this place was called the Killing Tribulation Planet. It had countless killing tribulations, and many experts from powerful cosmic races were preparing to go in and explore. After all, the treasures were simply too alluring. It was a pity that none of those who entered had come out alive. It seemed that all of them had died in there. This made many fearful and didn¡¯t dare to step in. Chapter 331 - 331 You Guys Dont Know Shit! 331 You Guys Don¡¯t Know Shit! It was said that experts from powerful cosmic races had arrived, and even some famous God-realm experts in the cosmic had gathered here. For a moment, everyone was wondering if anyone else would enter this treasure land. What looked like a treasure land was actually an invisible killing tribulation. As long as one dared to enter, it was virtually impossible for one to come out alive. Even the corpses could only stay inside. This was the terrifying part of the Killing Tribulation Planet. Back then, before the Divine Fire Freat Emperor¡¯s body had been destroyed, he had looked into time with just a glance and found the peerless treasure that existed in the Killing Tribulation Planet. It was a pity that he had no use for it since he was then a great emperor, so he simply left a mark and planned to come back to get it in the future. In the end, before that day came, his emperor body was blown up, and only a wisp of his remnant will managed to escape with great difficulty, hiding on a planet and struggling to survive. He had kept trying to attract the younger generation to where his remnant will was so that he could possess their bodies, but over countless years, only a few had ever ventured close. Without another way, the Divine Fire Great Emperor could no longer hold on, which was why he had left behind a contingency plan to change the star field and emit an emperor¡¯s might. As a result, countless embarked on the journey to find the planet. Soon, someone arrived, and Divine Fire Great Emperor indeed finally awaited someone¡¯s arrival. Unfortunately, not only did Qin Chen refine his body but had also obtained the seven coordinates where the treasures he wanted were. It was a pity that after the star field changed, these coordinates thus lost their use and Qin Chen could only search planet by planet. Fortunately, they still found one of their destinations in the end. Even though a Great God-realm elder was guarding the ancient planet, they still managed to get the treasure while not a single one of them had died. Such a battle record was already terrifying enough. Following this, they heard rumors about the Killing Tribulation Planet. When did the planet appear? No one could say for sure. Some said that it had been here for a long time. Some said that it appeared after the star field changed. However, most people were more inclined to believe the latter, that the planet only appeared after the star field changed. Many places in this star field had been sealed before the change. Perhaps the change had broken the seals and revealed this treasure land. Still, this treasure land was too bloody and cruel. Many members of powerful cosmic races had lost contact after entering it and their bodies would probably lie in this treasure land forever. Thinking of this, Qin Chen raised his head and smiled. This time, he would like to see what was so terrifying on the planet that it could kill Great God-realm experts. ¡°Quick, look! Those experts want to enter!¡± The experts of the powerful cosmic races surrounding the Killing Tribulation Planet were shocked. They had never seen so many cultivators who wanted to enter together. These experts who were wandering outside the planet were very powerful, but even they didn¡¯t think that they could make it out alive. They turned their gazes to these entering experts. Qin Chen and the rest were surprised to see many experts looking at them. Why weren¡¯t they going in? Were they afraid? In any case, if Qin Chen and the others did not even dare to enter the Killing Tribulation Planet, how could they even talk about getting the treasures inside? The treasure was just there, but one had to go grab it. ¡°I¡¯m sure after these people enter, they will be stuck soon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve once seen an expert from the dark phoenix race enter the planet, but he never came out again.¡± ¡°I too once saw a group from an ancient orthodoxy enter, but there¡¯s still no news of them now.¡± ¡°They all have one thing in common, and that is that they seem to be stuck inside forever, unable to come out.¡± This was why these people were sincerely impressed that Qin Chen and the others had the courage to enter. This made them feel very surprised. However, some experts had already started to make ominous predictions, ¡°I bet that they will not be able to leave alive.¡± ¡°I think so too!¡± Many experts from the powerful cosmic races guessed that Qin Chen and the others would not be able to come out alive. After all, there were already countless experts who were lost on the planet. God knows if those people were dead or alive, yet to think these people still dared to rush in. Moreover, five or six of them had gone in at once. It seemed that they did not think much of the Killing Tribulation Planet at all. This Killing Tribulation Planet had countless terrifying killing tribulations. Even a Great God-realm expert would only be able to admit defeat in there. What gave them the courage to enter? One of the cultivators was disdainful of those predictions. He was a human cultivator, the only one around. When Qin Chen and the others had entered, he had recognized them. Those outside were still sneering as if they had already seen the outcome of Qin Chen and the others dying inside, unable to ever leave again. However, this human knew that the other party was the Elder King of the human race who had an extreme emperor weapon! With him was the peerless Supreme Sage from the Great Qin Dynasty, and an ancient prince of the ten thousand ancient races, who both had extreme emperor weapons as well. How could they possibly die there? One must be joking! ¡°It won¡¯t take long for them to collect enough treasures and come out soon.¡± When some of the experts from the powerful cosmic races heard this, they immediately looked over and laughed. They saw that it was a level 1 Supreme Sage human cultivator who had said those bragging words and thought that this person was deliberately trying to attract their attention. So, they just smiled and didn¡¯t think much of his words. The human cultivator cursed, ¡°You guys don¡¯t know shit!¡± However, no one cared about him anymore. The number of experts outside was still increasing, and eventually, someone would definitely be unable to resist going in. Sure enough, not long after, a few old farts also entered. When they saw Qin Chen and the others enter so decisively, they also found a spot around the Killing Tribulation Planet with fewer killing tribulations and chose to break in. ¡°Quick, look! Someone else has entered again.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be concerned about. They¡¯re just a few old men who are about to die.¡± ¡°To live a little longer, they naturally have to risk their lives now. If they succeed and find a treasure or opportunity to extend their lives, they can then live even longer.¡± ¡°If they die in there, they could be considered to have chosen a good resting place too.¡± This Killing Tribulation Planet was a treasure land, to begin with, though it had buried too many people. Countless experts from powerful cosmic races had entered and never came out. If they were not trapped, then there was only one possibility. Therefore, although the temptation of the treasure land was fatal and some would go all out in entering without a care, some were still worried and would stop in their tracks, not daring to take another step forward. Chapter 332 - 332 Black Lightning Killing Tribulation 332 Black Lightning Killing Tribulation There were many entrances to the Killing Tribulation Planet where one could choose to enter. Qin Chen and the others simply chose one of such entrances and went in. The killing tribulation one would encounter would naturally be different when one entered from different places. If one specifically chose the entrance with greater and more killing tribulations, it could possibly lead to the outcome of one being blasted into pieces the moment one stepped in. This was a conclusion that some people had come to, which was why they guessed that the killing tribulations could kill Great God-realm experts. Qin Chen and the others had chosen a place where the killing tribulations were very weak. Before them, experts from powerful cosmic races had also entered via this entrance. The power of the killing tribulation wasn¡¯t strong, so Whitey was able to withstand it alone. It didn¡¯t cause too much damage to its body. After that, Qin Chen and the others also entered. Only after entering did they realize that the Killing Tribulation Planet was huge. At a glance, one simply couldn¡¯t see the horizon. It was simply not the size of a normal ancient planet. It was very likely that the expert who had left behind the treasure had opened up another space here. The larger the space, the more treasures they would be able to find. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to check in at this place. One must know that this place was extremely terrifying. After all, it could even kill Great God-realm experts. However, he still said, ¡°Check in!¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have checked in to the ancient Killing Tribulation Planet and obtained the reward ¡°Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation¡±!] [Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation: One-time use item. After use, it can release a terrifying power and kill a Great God-realm expert.] What! Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation? The system had given him a killing tribulation?! [Among the killing tribulations here, the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation is the most terrifying. Please be careful, host.] Qin Chen had never thought that the system would give him one of the killing tribulations, and the strongest one at that. It seemed that the killing tribulation did have the amazing power to kill a Great God-realm expert. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was instantly excited. One should know that the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation was a great treasure. With it, even if he encountered a Great God-realm expert next time, he could quickly kill the latter. He wouldn¡¯t have to put himself in danger every time. From the system¡¯s tone, it seemed like there were other killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet, though definitely not as powerful as the one that the system had given Qin Chen, which could kill Great God-realm experts. A killing tribulation like that was very rare even in the entire cosmic. Qin Chen put the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation away and continued to walk forward. Whitey had been scouting ahead as the vanguard because only its body could withstand the killing tribulations. God knows who left this place behind. To be able to leave behind such terrifying killing tribulations, the person must have reached the threshold of the ancient great emperor realm. There was a high possibility that the other party was already halfway in, or that he was only unable to become an ancient great emperor due to the favorable circumstances. If not, if such a character were to really become an ancient great emperor, he would surely be an extremely powerful one. From time to time, a terrifying killing tribulation would fall and bombard Whitey¡¯s body. If Whitey failed to block it, the attack would land on Qin Chen and the others. The big scorpion¡¯s heart was pounding. He was well aware that these were killing tribulations that were extremely terrifying. Just one killing tribulation was probably enough to strike him half to death. Even if he could survive, he would probably still die due to the injuries. The more they walked on the Killing Tribulation Planet, the more terrified they were because they saw many scattered bodies on the ground that had already been split into pieces. These incomplete bodies were the experts of the powerful cosmic races. To think their bodies had been split into pieces by the terrifying killing tribulations after entering the Killing Tribulation Planet. Even their primordial spirits probably couldn¡¯t escape. Now, they had just entered the Killing Tribulation Planet. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the killing tribulations they would face later on were. They had already covered quite a distance. At almost every stretch of the way, the remains of experts covered the ground. The further they walked, the less mutilated the corpses were. This was because most of those who had entered had died at the entrance, which was the place where Qin Chen and the others had chosen to enter, a place where the killing tribulations were weaker. In comparison, before they had entered, many experts from the powerful cosmic races had also entered the planet through the same entrance. Yet, most of them had died near the entrance. The big scorpion had no qualms as he picked up all their storage rings one by one. After all, there were treasures in them. Even if Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t think much of those treasures, he still valued them. As they walked further in, Whitey gradually became exhausted. In front of them, a killing tribulation came booming over and Whitey roared in anger. Following this, it used its body to block the attack, but the killing tribulation sent Whitey flying, making the latter smash into the ground and forming a huge pit. It was enough to imagine how powerful the attack was. However, this was just the appetizer. Many more killing tribulations came. Seeing that something was wrong, Qin Chen quickly took out his innate sword embryo and slashed out with his divine power. After going through many difficulties to offset these killing tribulations, Whitey crawled out of the crater, its body charred black. It was a result of being struck by the terrifying killing tribulations. Not long after, Whitey walked in front again, wanting to block the coming attacks again, only to be stopped by Qin Chen. This was because Qin Chen knew that there would be even more powerful killing tribulations waiting for them. If the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation suddenly appeared, then Whitey¡¯s Great God body would be destroyed. Qin Chen treasured the Great God¡¯s body very much. Therefore, he asked Whitey to step back while he became the vanguard himself. No one dared to be careless, because Qin Chen had already warned them that the killing tribulations in front would only be more dangerous. It was impossible to predict what kind of attack would happen, and there might even be danger coming from beneath their feet. Therefore, they had to be extremely careful. Everyone walked on tenterhooks, not daring to be as carefree as before and joke with their lives. Even the big scorpion became serious. He circulated the divine power in his body and took out his Supreme Sage weapon to guard against the ground beneath his feet. Every step he took was carefully considered, to see if there was any danger. As they advanced faster, more and more killing tribulations struck Qin Chen, but they were blocked by the innate sword embryo. Chapter 333 - 333 Shadow 333 Shadow The wind and clouds surged on the Killing Tribulation Planet, and Qin Chen suddenly saw a forest in front. God knows what kind of dangers were in this forest. With his extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen blocked many killing tribulations along the way. Now that he saw the forest in the distance, he felt that something was wrong. Could it be that there was some kind of danger in it? The Killing Tribulations Planet had a treasure that even the Divine Fire Great Emperor had high hopes for, so it was definitely very dangerous. They would have to go through a lot of trouble to get it. Even though Qin Chen had two extreme emperor weapons, combined with the extreme emperor weapons of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan respectively, he was still a little worried even with four extreme emperor weapons. After all, they were facing killing tribulations that could kill Great Gods. Even a Great God-realm figure wouldn¡¯t have the confidence to enter and leave unscathed, let alone him. If this continued, they might die somewhere. The big scorpion felt an ominous feeling. He then said, ¡°I can feel it that there seems to be a very strong danger ahead.¡± Yuji, who rarely agreed with him, actually nodded and said, ¡°I have the same feeling.¡± However, Qin Chen did not feel anything. He activated the Chaotic Holy Body and endless rays of light radiated from his body. Even he could now take it if he kept using his extreme emperor weapon like this, so he could only swallow pills while he continued to walk forward until they reached the forest. Prince Zhan then said to Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King, you should rest for a while. It¡¯s my turn now.¡± After all, they couldn¡¯t just rely on Qin Chen to resist the attacks alone. Besides Whitey, the strongest one among them was Prince Zhan, who had broken through to the God realm. By wielding the divine iron rod, the power he could unleash was also incomparably huge. He didn¡¯t believe that there was any danger ahead that could threaten him. There seemed to be quite a few terrifying fluctuations ahead in the forest. Having already arrived at the ominous forest, none of them dared to be the slightest bit careless or let down their guard, because they could lose their lives if they were not careful. Even with extreme emperor weapons, they could not guarantee their safety. The close-range killing tribulations here could even kill Great God-realm experts, so if the attack came sneakily from behind, they might die before they could even activate their extreme emperor weapons. That was how dangerous it was on the Killing Tribulations Planet. Then, they looked into the distance. In the forest far away, a black shadow seemed to have flitted past. The black shadow was extremely fast, causing Qin Chen and the others to feel a little nervous. For something to move around in this place, could it already withstand the killing tribulations that could kill Great God-realm experts? Even Whitey would have been annihilated by the Great God-realm killing tribulations, so how could that thing withstand such killing tribulations? When they reached the forest, Qin Chen and the others saw traces of blood. This should have been left behind by the experts of the powerful cosmic races who had entered earlier. They might have been heavily injured by the killing tribulations. If that was the case, they could only continue to heal their injuries to return to their peak. But why was no one around? The bloodstains ended here. It was as if they had stopped in front of the forest, their survival unknown and their corpses not found. And now, they had just seen a black shadow flitting by. Did it mean something? Perhaps an expert of a powerful cosmic race had resisted the killing tribulations, but unfortunately, he had only arrived with serious injuries. He had wanted to recover, but an accident happened, and his current whereabouts were thus unknown. With this, Qin Chen warned everyone to be careful. The divine iron rod in Prince Zhan¡¯s hand burst with a monstrous emperor¡¯s might. If there were any living beings ahead, they would definitely not be able to withstand the emperor¡¯s might and choose to retreat. When they entered the forest, they realized that they had made a huge mistake because the minute they did so, the scene in front of them changed. When they turned around, the big scorpion cried out in alarm, ¡°Why is the path we came from gone?¡± Yes, the path they came from had disappeared. It was as if the forest had started moving in a different direction. Now, they didn¡¯t even know where they were facing, so how were they going to find a way out? They couldn¡¯t find the way back, and they didn¡¯t know how to get out. At the thought of this, the big scorpion¡¯s heart filled with fear. Qin Chen walked to the front. He thought back to the flitting black shadow. Was it the one who had caused this trouble? Supreme Sage Qin Tian said, ¡°I knew that this Killing Tribulation Planet would not be so simple.¡± Now that he had experienced it, it was indeed so. Just a forest had trapped Qin Chen and the others. The Killing Tribulation Planet not only had killing tribulations but also other traps. At this moment, the Killing Tribulation Planet suddenly trembled. Even the forest that Qin Chen and the others were in started to shake. ¡°What is happening?¡± Prince Zhan asked. Why was there suddenly an earthquake? Could it be that some kind of change was happening on the Killing Tribulation Planet? Could someone have triggered the changes on this Killing Tribulations Planet? This shouldn¡¯t be possible. No one could resist the killing tribulations that could kill Great Gods. Even if Qin Chen and the others had four extreme emperor weapons, they might not be able to withstand them either. After all, extreme emperor weapons were indestructible, but they were not. They were made of flesh and blood. No matter how strong one¡¯s divine body was, one simply couldn¡¯t withstand such attacks. In front of them was a bamboo forest. A black shadow slowly walked out. It looked very strange. It seemed to have a life of its own as it flashed past Qin Chen and the others. This shocked Supreme Sage Qin Tian. How did that black shadow get so close to them? To think they didn¡¯t notice a single fluctuation. Fluctuations could be sensed even when God-realm experts approached them. Rather, even the assassins of Divine with extremely brilliant concealment techniques would still leave behind flaws. The problem was that the black shadow was completely silent as if it was dead. They didn¡¯t notice it at all. It wasn¡¯t until the black shadow was not far away from them that they saw it. When someone saw the black figure, it would flash and disappear. ¡°I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something greatly terrifying in this forest¡­¡± Prince Zhan sighed. They had survived so many dangers along the way. They had even worked together to kill a Great God-realm expert. But now, they were trapped in this forest. Chapter 334 - 334 Palm Print 1 334 Palm Print 1 Qin Chen had already made his final preparations. If the black shadow dared to appear again, he would kill it. It was because the black shadow was too strange. To think it could come and go stealthily, so much so that even they didn¡¯t notice any fluctuations. Furthermore, the black shadow seemed to have its eyes on Qin Chen and the others. It would appear every half an hour. The distance between them was sometimes close and sometimes far as if it was testing them. This made Qin Chen increasingly unable to control his irritation. Prince Zhan was also ready to take down the enemy. The iron rod in his hand was exuding divine power at this moment, and the boundless multicolored light fell, erupting with monstrous emperor¡¯s might in his hand. At this stage, he could even easily kill a God-realm expert. But now, facing that black shadow, he really didn¡¯t have any confidence because the other party was simply too strange. There were just too many unexpected things on this Killing Tribulation Planet. Now, the black shadow had already appeared in front of Qin Chen. What was it? When Qin Chen really saw the black shadow clearly, he was shocked. It had no head. The broken part of its neck was emitting a black gas as if there were traces of black blood evaporating. It also seemed to have its eyes on Qin Chen. Qin Chen did not even notice that the black shadow had made a move on him. A terrifying spiritual power fell on him. Originally, with Qin Chen¡¯s God-realm spiritual power, there should not have been any problems. But now, he felt as if his spiritual power was suppressed under a mountain, making him unable to move at all. He could only watch as the black shadow reached out its hands. They seemed to be the hands of a dead person, pale and slender. Just as those hands were about to touch Qin Chen¡¯s body, Supreme Sage Qin Tian reacted. He held the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and instantly activated the God within it. A terrifying emperor¡¯s might descended in front of Qin Chen. With that, the black shadow seemed to have disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the mountain-like pressure on Qin Chen¡¯s body disappeared. Prince Zhan looked at Qin Chen with a heavy heart. ¡°What is that black shadow? I¡¯ve never heard of such a strange thing.¡± The black shadow had appeared very quickly just now, though also discovered by Supreme Sage Qin Tian. This was the first time it had made a move on Qin Chen. That mountain-like spiritual power had suppressed Qin Chen just now. It was enough to imagine what would happen if the black shadow was serious about making a move. What kind of pressure would Qin Chen face? God knows how long this Killing Tribulation Planet had existed. The Divine Fire Great Emperor had become an emperor during the primordial era. His true form was a flame, but since he could be blessed by the heavens and become an emperor, this in itself meant that he had great luck. However, even such an existence couldn¡¯t avoid his emperor body from being destroyed. How terrifying was that? After that, the Divine Fire Great Emperor set his eyes on the Killing Tribulation Planet. He wanted to find the treasures on the Killing Tribulation Planet. He had thought that he would have time to retrieve the treasures, but he did not expect that even his last wisp of remnant will would be turned into Qin Chen¡¯s power to increase the latter¡¯s cultivation realm and thus disappear from the world. The treasure that the Divine Fire Great Emperor had his eyes on was definitely the most precious thing on the Killing Tribulation Planet. This Killing Tribulation Planet had survived from the primordial era to the present world, and countless years had passed. Now, because of the changes in the star field, it had appeared. Countless people had rushed in and died. This in itself was enough to show that there was something terrifying about it. Could it be that this black shadow had been wandering around on this Killing Tribulation Planet for countless years? That was simply hard to imagine. Just now, Qin Chen had seen the other party¡¯s true appearance. To think it was a headless black shadow. It seemed to be a combination of inauspiciousness and curses. These two powers seemed to have fused in its body, reaching an incredible stage. Of course, its method of attack on Qin Chen was only limited to its spiritual power. This also showed that the other party¡¯s spiritual power was terrifying enough. Even Qin Chen¡¯s God-realm spiritual power was suppressed to the point where he could not resist at all. Qin Chen felt more confident now that he had finally seen the black shadow¡¯s attack method. After all, facing an unknown enemy was the most terrifying. Now that he knew the other party¡¯s attack method, he was naturally not so afraid. Then, the big scorpion cried out in shock. He pointed at Qin Chen¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°Elder King, what¡¯s that?¡± Chapter 335 - 335 Palm Print 2 335 Palm Print 2 Qin Chen was confused. He had no idea what the big scorpion was talking about. The big scorpion seemed to be in a hurry. ¡°Head, forehead! There¡¯s a palm print on your forehead!¡± Immediately, Qin Chen broke out in cold sweat. What the hell? He quickly took out a mirror and looked at his forehead. Everyone looked at him at this moment. A faint palm print had appeared on top of Qin Chen¡¯s head. The palm print was black, and as time passed, it was slowly becoming clear. This was also the reason why Supreme Sage Qin Tian did not discover it right after saving Qin Chen. That was because the palm print did not appear at all at that time. And now that it had, they finally realized that Qin Chen seemed to have been affected. What was going on? Even Qin Chen himself did not know. Why did a palm print appear on his head? Only the big scorpion seemed to have noticed something. ¡°The palm print on the Elder King¡¯s head seems to be from the delicate hand of a woman. It couldn¡¯t have been left by a woman, right?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s face was covered in black gas, which made the palm print stand out even more. ¡°What situation are we in? To think you¡¯re still talking nonsense.¡± Yuji was very worried that something had happened to Qin Chen. After that, Supreme Sage Qin Tian seemed to be deep in thought. Just now, the black shadow had only appeared in front of Qin Chen, ¡°Could it be that the palm print was left behind by that black shadow?¡± But why did it target Qin Chen? Was it a coincidence? It was simply inconceivable. No one knew what consequences this palm print would bring. The big scorpion screamed as he was extremely vexed while being chased and beaten by Yuji. ¡°Who asked you to talk nonsense? You only know how to talk nonsense all day long.¡± All of a sudden, Qin Chen felt as if he could no longer control his power. His body swayed and he almost fell. He couldn¡¯t stand up on his own. Yuji cried out in shock and quickly supported Qin Chen. At this moment, Whitey was a little uneasy. It was originally just a soul made of consciousness and energy, but now it seemed fearful. Something seemed to be approaching them. Something that could make Whitey, who had a Great God¡¯s body, feel fear must be extremely powerful and hostile. ¡°Be careful! Something is coming! Chapter 336 - 336 The Black Shadow Makes a Move 336 The Black Shadow Makes a Move Upon hearing this, everyone became nervous. After all, Qin Chen still didn¡¯t know what was going on. If a crisis were to happen again, it was very likely that the pressure on everyone would be huge. They might have extreme emperor weapons, but they would still die. In the face of some powerful existences, it would be a very simple matter for the other party to destroy them. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a black shadow appeared. This was the black shadow that everyone had found eerie earlier. It was also the one that had injured Qin Chen. At this moment, it had appeared of its own accord. It brought with it a monstrous and terrifying pressure as if it wanted to destroy everyone. Even Whitey seemed fearful of such terrifying pressure. When this black shadow appeared, every step it took shattered the void. This was the first time it had exploded with such terrifying power, causing everyone to feel their hearts jump. ¡°Hurry up! Stop it!¡± The big scorpion roared. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan activated their Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod respectively, unleashing terrifying power! The two extreme emperor weapons were activated at the same time, and the entire forest was filled with terrifying power! Previously, the black shadow had been like a ghost. Everyone could only see it but not touch it. Now that it was erupting with such a terrifying might, it was undoubtedly going to attack them. Now that even Whitey was afraid, it showed that the other party was not simple. Even with two activated extreme emperor weapons, they might not be able to withstand the enemy¡¯s attack. All of this was because they were too weak. If they were just a little stronger, they would¡¯ve been able to unleash the true power of the extreme emperor weapons. At this moment, Qin Chen felt that his strength seemed to be almost sucked dry. He lay weakly in Yuji¡¯s arms, gasping for breath. His eyes gradually became dazed. Then, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Yuji also noticed Qin Chen¡¯s abnormal state and was extremely anxious. Why did he suddenly faint? This terrifying black shadow came with a monstrous aura. Even the Great God-elder they had encountered before didn¡¯t seem so monstrously powerful. Could the other party be a Great God too? That was impossible! How could there be a Great God here? According to the Divine Fire Great Emperor¡¯s description, there was no Great God on the Killing Tribulation Planet, only countless killing tribulations. If an ordinary God had entered, he would have been killed long ago. It would¡¯ve been impossible for him to make it here. If it were not for Qin Chen and the others¡¯ extreme emperor weapons, they would not have been able to make it here either. Yet now, the black shadow before them had unleashed power comparable to that of a Great God. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but be alarmed. What should they do? They had no choice but to defend themselves and hold on. With just one attack from the black shadow, the blood energy of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan flowed backward and they spat out a mouthful of blood. Why was this black shadow even more terrifying than a Great God-realm expert? The two gasped. If another attack came, they weren¡¯t sure if they could stop the black shadow even if they went all out. At this moment, the appearance of the black shadow was completely exposed to everyone¡¯s eyes. It was an existence without a head. It was a terrifying sight. Black gas was still coming out of its broken neck, like black blood. It made people break out in cold sweats. What was this black shadow? The entire forest shook due to its, and the forest seemed to be some kind of array. It gave off a kind of power that stopped the black shadow in place. Could it be that the purpose of this forest was to suppress the black shadow? Where the hell have they come to? Everyone¡¯s hearts could not help but feel heavy. If they had not chosen to enter from that entrance in the beginning, would the result have been different? They didn¡¯t expect that entrance with the weakest killing tribulation would be the most difficult path to take on this Killing Tribulation Planet. For such a terrifying black shadow to be suppressed here, it was enough to imagine how terrifying its combat strength was when it was still alive. Endless darkness rose from the body of the black shadow. The surroundings seemed to dim with it as the center as it devoured light and all living things. A terrifying aura erupted from its body. Even a God-realm expert might not be able to escape from such an existence. The endless black fog seemed to want to devour the forest. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s body became increasingly darker as if the black gas had entered his body. Yet no one else was affected. So, why did it have to be Qin Chen? The color of the palm print on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead became deeper and deeper, so dark that it affected his entire face. It was as if a hand was still in front of him, pressing on his forehead. Such a horrifying scene made everyone feel extremely terrified. If it was a powerful existence, at least they wouldn¡¯t be so afraid. However, not only did they not know what the black shadow was, but the other party also had the strength to crush them. In this place, they were no match for the other party. Furthermore, of the four extreme emperor weapons, two belonged to Qin Chen, who was now down. This meant that only half of all their extreme emperor weapons could be used. Could two extreme emperor weapons really stop the shadow? The answer was obviously no. They could only block it for a while. When the black shadow fully unleashed its power, even the two extreme emperor weapons might not be able to withstand its attacks. Everyone¡¯s hearts could not help but turn heavy as they wondered what their outcome would be. The black shadow kept releasing black mist as if it wanted to swallow the forest and escape from the place, but the forest didn¡¯t give it the chance. Instead, the forest emitted a power that suppressed the black mist and forced it back into the black shadow¡¯s body. Then, the black shadow charged at the two extreme emperor weapons as if it was furious. Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian were shocked. Was the black shadow crazy? Did it want to die with them? To think it was charging at them so recklessly. ¡°Not good, stop him!¡± The big scorpion roared again. He could see that if they could not resist the black shadow¡¯s attack, they might really die here. If they all died here, it would be an unreconciled ending. There was no need for the big scorpion¡¯s words as Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan knew this as well. They injected all their divine power into the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod respectively. Terrifying power burst out and countless emperor¡¯s might enveloped the black shadow. However, the black shadow seemed to be unaffected. Then, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan looked at each other and charged out. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword slashed out and the divine iron rod swept out. Under the pincer attack of the two, the black shadow had no possibility of moving forward. Chapter 337 - 337 The Ghost Emperors Creation Stone 337 The Ghost Emperor¡¯s Creation Stone No matter what this black shadow wanted to do, they had to stop it! At this moment, Qin Chen was extremely weak. He felt as if he was drifting further away from the world. The feeling of being abandoned by the world made him extremely terrified. What was going on? Was he dead? Was he on his way to the netherworld? He didn¡¯t have time to think further as he saw a graceful figure that looked like a peerless beauty. The lady had her back facing Qin Chen, which surprised the latter. Why would he see a lady? What had happened? Since the lady didn¡¯t walk toward him, he would walk toward her. With that, Qin Chen walked over. The woman turned around, and Qin Chen¡¯s scalp immediately tingled with fear. This was because when the woman turned around, she changed. Her head disappeared, and her body turned into a black shadow. Black gas was escaping from her broken neck. She looked like a ghost who had died a wrongful death. Could this be what the black shadow looked like back when it was alive? Qin Chen tried to calm himself down. He pondered about what had happened just now. Why had the lady suddenly become like this in the blink of an eye? What was she doing here? Was she trying to kill him? The black shadow did not seem to have any ill intentions toward Qin Chen. However, she did not allow him to leave either. The two simply stood in a stalemate in this space. After an unknown period, Qin Chen finally could not bear it anymore. What the hell was the other party trying to do? He couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Qin Chen was very well aware that he was no match for the black shadow here. This was because he could feel that he was not as powerful as the latter. ¡°You can kill me or cut me up, but if you want to fight, come on,¡± Qin Chen took a deep breath. After making the final preparations, he walked towards the black shadow. The black shadow stayed rooted as if she was surprised. She didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to walk toward her. When Qin Chen reached her, the headless shadow let out a soft laugh, which was melodious like silver bells ringing. Qin Chen felt a range of emotions that included confusion, irritation, fear, and annoyance. Was she going to attack him? However, he didn¡¯t expect that the other party would simply place her palm on his forehead. After a while, Qin Chen realized that the black shadow did not have any intention of attacking him. Could it be that the other party did not want to kill him? He really couldn¡¯t figure out what the other party wanted to do. Since she didn¡¯t want to kill him, why didn¡¯t she let him go? If this continued, did she want him to stay here with her? How was that possible? Qin Chen was a living person, and this black shadow was just a soul that had probably died many years ago. They had nothing in common. Qin Chen put his hands together and said, ¡°Amitabha. Humans and ghosts walk different paths. Please let me go.¡± While he was speaking, Qin Chen was also observing the black shadow¡¯s reaction. He did not expect that the other party would seem to be enraged. She removed her hand from his head and disappeared. Where was she? Qin Chen looked around, but there was no trace of the black shadow anywhere. It was as if she had evaporated from the space, completely disappearing from his sight. What should he do now? Qin Chen did not know how he could leave. But he could not stay here forever either. If he did, he was afraid that Yuji, Prince Zhan, and the others would think that he was dead. Qin Chen could not help but feel anxious at the thought of this. He wanted to leave, but he realized that he had no idea how. The black shadow had already disappeared. Qin Chen felt as if he was trapped in a certain place where he could not find the way out and could only wait. ¡°What does the black shadow want?¡± Qin Chen had no idea what the black shadow wanted to do or why she had brought him to this place. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] The system¡¯s voice resounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. God knows where this place was, but to think such an unexpected change would happen. Immediately, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes burned with passion. He could check in here! He muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have checked into the most powerful killing tribulation on the Killing Tribulation Planet. You have obtained the reward ¡°Ghost Emperor Creation Stone¡±!] [Ghost Emperor Creation Stone: One-time use item. After use, it can allow a ghost cultivator to advance to a higher realm. It is very rare.] What the hell? This was for ghost cultivators. If Qin Chen wanted to use it, he would first have to commit suicide. After all, he could only use the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone after becoming a ghost cultivator, and this made him extremely angry. The system was too unreliable. A stone that was emitting yin qi appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It was extremely cold. Following this, the black shadow soon appeared again. When Qin Chen saw the black figure again, he was quite surprised. Why did the black shadow suddenly appear again? Then, he felt the black shadow looking at the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone in his hand. Could she be scheming after the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone? This made Qin Chen somewhat tempted to use the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone to make a deal with the black shadow. Maybe she would let him go then. The black shadow looked like a ghost cultivator anyway. She didn¡¯t have a physical body, so she could only be classified as a ghost cultivator. Since the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone was beneficial to her, she would definitely not reject his condition. With that, Qin Chen raised the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone and said to the black shadow, ¡°If you want this, let me go. Let me go and this is yours.¡± The black shadow shook her head. Even if the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone was extremely beneficial to her, she would not let Qin Chen go. Why? Qin Chen was stunned. Could it be that this black shadow was clinging to him? Qin Chen did not want to be trapped in this place for the rest of his life. He wanted to leave. He thought that the black shadow did not understand him, so he continued to explain, ¡°This is helpful to you. As long as you let me leave, I will give this stone to you. We will both get what we need.¡± In the outside world, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body had already turned black. His aura was extremely weak as if it was hanging by a thread and he could not hold on any longer. Qin Chen lay on the ground as Yuji looked at him anxiously and could not help but shed tears. Big scorpion was surprised as well as he had never faced such a situation before. How did a person end up in such a half-dead state just because of a palm print on his head? Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan looked at Qin Chen. They sighed and felt guilty. Indeed, they hadn¡¯t managed to block the black shadow and allowed it to bypass the defense of the extreme emperor weapons and enter Qin Chen¡¯s body. Chapter 338 - 338 Come to 338 Come to Just as the black shadow crossed Qin Chen¡¯s body, it disappeared. They could no longer find any trace of the black shadow as if it had never appeared. As for Qin Chen, he became as he was now, and this had a lot to do with them. If they had stopped the black shadow back then, perhaps Qin Chen would be fine now. The only thing Qin Chen could be sure of now was that this black figure was definitely no ordinary person. To be able to maintain such terrifying combat strength after death and have the entire forest as an array to suppress her was enough to show how terrifying she was back then. It was very likely that she had long reached the God realm. Unfortunately, such a peak cultivator became a headless black shadow later on. What had occurred for this to happen? Too many truths of the past had been buried and Qin Chen had no thoughts of pursuing them. He just kept negotiating with the black shadow, trying to get the other party to let him go. In this space, Qin Chen could not use any abilities. It was as if this place had imprisoned him. If he wanted to leave this place, he had to do it through this black shadow. However, the black shadow did not give Qin Chen a chance. Even if he took the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone and waved it in front of her, the black shadow did not intend to agree. In the end, Qin Chen could only restrain himself from losing his temper. The black shadow was unmoved by force or persuasion. The key was that she didn¡¯t have a head. He couldn¡¯t even read her expression. What else could he do? However, Qin Chen soon discovered that the ground seemed to be emitting a black aura. What was going on? Could there be an even more powerful existence than this black shadow? He looked at the ground, wondering what was down there. Then, a head appeared. A head actually appeared. It seemed to be the head of the headless shadow! Why would it appear here? Qin Chen was surprised, at a loss for what to do. He didn¡¯t expect that at this point, the black shadow suddenly came forward to snatch the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone from Qin Chen¡¯s hands. Qin Chen hurriedly said, ¡°My foundation¡­ the Creation Stone¡­¡± However, the black shadow did not respond to Qin Chen. Instead, it hit him and sent him flying. Qin Chen felt a heavy blow on his chest, then he lost consciousness. When he woke up again and opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground. What had happened to him? He felt as if he had been drained of all his energy. He couldn¡¯t summon any energy at all. It was simply terrifying. Seeing Yuji at the side who was crying for him, Qin Chen felt terrible. If this continued, Qin Chen wondered when he would die here. He weakly rubbed his eyes. At this time, Yuji who was still crying didn¡¯t notice that Qin Chen had already woken up. In contrast, the big scorpion may not have any other skills, but he did have keen observation skills. He noticed that Qin Chen had woken up almost instantly. ¡°The Elder King has woken up! The Elder King has regained consciousness!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s shouts attracted the attention of the crowd. At the same time, Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian noticed that the black shadow had evaporated the water on the surface of the planet with its attack. This was enough to show how powerful the black shadow was. Even two extreme emperor weapons could not stop it. Then, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan both felt a terrifying aura that was actually in the Great God realm! Could it be that there really was a Great God-realm expert on this Killing Tribulation Planet? They simply couldn¡¯t even imagine finding such a Great God. But right now, Prince Zhan and the others couldn¡¯t care less about the Great God-realm aura. After all, even if the Great God was in front of them, there was nothing to be afraid of. It wasn¡¯t like they had never worked together to kill a Great God before. ¡°Elder King, how do you feel?¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian asked. All of them gathered around Qin Chen. God knows what had happened to Qin Chen, but to think he survived the black shadow¡¯s attack. However, he didn¡¯t look good now. Qin Chen felt that it took a lot of effort to say even a single sentence. He had never experienced such a feeling before. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s expression, Supreme Sage Qin Tian could roughly guess the answer. He did not ask further. Instead, he looked at the big scorpion and said, ¡°The big scorpion had just been saying that if the Elder King, unfortunately, dies here, he will take your treasures.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was furious. He didn¡¯t expect the big scorpion to have such an idea. Since that was the case, he could not die. After all, if he died, all his treasures would be taken away by the big scorpion. Qin Chen could also feel the aura of a Great God erupting between heaven and earth. He could roughly guess who it was. It was probably the black shadow who had used the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone to make a breakthrough. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of danger they would have to face if the other party broke through. It was possible that none of them would be able to escape. In the Great God realm, there were both strong and weak gods. For example, the Great God elder they had killed was probably one of the weaker gods. He did not have much time left and was almost at the end of his life. That was why Qin Chen and the others were able to kill him. Otherwise, if it was any other powerful God, they might have been killed instead. On this Killing Tribulation Planet, the black shadow should be one of the stronger Great Gods. Even if Qin Chen and the others had extreme emperor weapons, they might still be killed by such a Great God. This was the difference. Prince Zhan said, ¡°Elder King, you are now one who has been cursed. This palm print should be the mark that the black shadow used to curse you. Your power is being drawn away by it at all times. If it wants to draw even a little more, you might die on the spot.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect to be cursed. In other words, this palm print was a bridge for the black shadow to drain his power. It was no wonder. Even with the Chaotic Holy Body, he couldn¡¯t possibly withstand the God-realm black shadow drawing away his power. Which explained the scene where Qin Chen looked like he was about to step fully into the gates of hell. Even Prince Zhan and the others gasped at the strange scene. They were afraid that they would end up worse than Qin Chen. After all, even Qin Chen had ended up in such a state. What else could they do? They could only watch as Qin Chen lay on the ground. Yuji¡¯s eyes were red. If it was possible, she was willing to suffer in the Elder King¡¯s place. Chapter 339 - 339 The Golden Coffin 339 The Golden Coffin Then, a terrifying fluctuation burst out. The fluctuation made even Whitey¡¯s expression change. Even with its Great God-realm body, it felt a heavy pressure. One could imagine how shocking this was. The emotion came from one being only, the black shadow. After obtaining the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone, the headless shadow had most likely started breaking through. If she were to advance by another major realm, she would most probably be just a sliver away from the ancient great emperor realm. Once she broke through that gap, she would be able to become the ancient great emperor of this era. It was unbelievable for a ghost to become an emperor, yet it was entirely possible for her to reach that stage. If such a person could also become an ancient great emperor, it was very likely that she would be comparable to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared under the feet of Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Why do I feel like something¡¯s wrong¡­¡± Before the big scorpion could finish speaking, countless cracks appeared on the ground under their feet. Then, they fell. There was a whole new world beneath the forest! Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but gasp. He was about to faint. While falling, the big scorpion and Yuji were on top of him, almost crushing him to death! Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s extremely pale face, the two of them quickly got up and helped him up. Only then did Qin Chen feel better. Putting that aside, a huge coffin appeared in front of them! The coffin was made of pure gold, and no one knew who or what was buried inside. When Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian landed, they steadied themselves. Falling from such a short distance was nothing to them. At this moment, they were also shocked! They couldn¡¯t help but blurt out, ¡°The God race! Yuji was also surprised, ¡°A godfiend! Looking at their expressions, they seemed to know what the coffin was about. Only Qin Chen, the big scorpion, and Whitey were clueless. ¡°This is incredible. To think an expert from the God race has been laid to eternal rest here.¡± ¡°The God race is a race that has its lineage since the primordial era. Their members were all born extremely powerful and could easily reach the God realm. It can be said that they are a very terrifying race. However, this race has long died off since it was very difficult for them to reproduce, so they slowly declined. After members of the God race die, they must be buried in a golden coffin like this. Otherwise, they will not fully die and will become a great terror!¡± Yuji was also extremely shocked. Qin Chen asked, ¡°What is a godfiend?¡± After taking a long time to calm down, Yuji said slowly when she heard this question, ¡°The godfiend is more or less the God race you speak of, born to be the strongest in the world, the uncrowned emperors. A being like that possesses all kinds of terrifying powers. It¡¯s a pity that they have to be placed in a golden coffin after their death. Otherwise, they will turn into a demon and bring chaos to the world.¡± Qin Chen nodded. It turned out that the golden coffin had such a great origin. He was quite surprised. Was the corpse in the golden coffin that of the God race¡¯s godfiend? Following this, an extremely weak voice rang out, ¡°Junior, let me out quickly. Otherwise, a catastrophe may occur!¡± The voice came from the golden coffin. No one expected there to be a living creature in the golden coffin. Could it be that the godfiend in the coffin was not dead? That was impossible! From the primordial era until now, how many years had passed? Probably even the grandson of the God race¡¯s godfiend in the coffin was dying of old age. How could he still be alive? The voice from the golden coffin continued, ¡°I¡¯m the only one who can suppress that black shadow. Hurry! She¡¯s about to break through! If you wait until she breaks through, I¡¯m afraid that even I won¡¯t be able to deal with her!¡± The golden coffin continued to emit golden light as if it was about to fly. Qin Chen looked at Prince Zhan and the others. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that whatever is in the golden coffin is dead? Why do I feel that there¡¯s a ghost in there?¡± So the golden coffin had been used to suppress the black shadow. The key was that the latter had not only taken Qin Chen¡¯s Ghost Emperor Creation Stone but had also made him so weak. Just this point alone was enough to make Qin Chen and the others inclined to help the being in the golden coffin escape. That being said, it was not foolproof. If the existence in the coffin got out, could it be trying to trick them instead? Perhaps, the existence in the coffin and the black shadow were in balance. Once the existence in the golden coffin was released, wouldn¡¯t Qin Chen and the others die? To be able to resist the erosion of time on this Killing Tribulation Planet from the primordial era until now, how could such a terrifying existence be one to be trifled with? Qin Chen gave everyone a look, indicating that they should not act rashly. If this guy was released, they would be surrounded by enemies both front and back. If that happened, they would be at the end of the road and would¡¯ve sent themselves to their deaths. ¡°Do you have any treasures for me?¡± The big scorpion could not help but say. The being in the golden coffin was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would want treasures. Couldn¡¯t they have said so earlier? To think he had wasted so much time and effort trying to persuade them. ¡°I have many peerless cultivation techniques with me. They were all obtained from the world¡¯s top experts, all comparable to emperor-level supernormal knowledge! I can give you the Wuji Sutra, the Great Zen Mantra, the Dragon-subduing Sword Array, the Nine Heart Technique, and many others. All of them are comparable to the cultivation techniques and supernormal knowledge of ancient great emperors! As long as you help me open this coffin, I¡¯ll teach you all the supernormal knowledge and secret skills once I come out. You can also choose some of the weapons I have with me.¡± The voice was filled with urgency. Qin Chen and the others could more or less guess what was going on after hearing his words. The day they released the being in the coffin would probably be the day they died. The fact that the other party wanted to get out of the golden coffin at all costs was enough to prove that they should not open it. At this moment, the big scorpion did not dare to answer and fell into silence. The being in the golden coffin sneered, ¡°Today, I will be born!¡± With that, something seemed to have appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes, and it actually made them go crazy. Qin Chen saw a different scene. This was an illusion! The existence inside the golden coffin was trying to lure them into opening the golden coffin! No matter how much Qin Chen shouted, Prince Zhan, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, and the rest, including Whitey, were all in a daze! One by one, they walked towards the golden coffin! ¡°Holy Maiden Mu Xue, haha, after fighting for so many years, it¡¯s time to end it!¡± The earth trembled as if something was about to be born! Qin Chen could only watch as Prince Zhan and the others opened the golden coffin! Chapter 340 - 340 Die! 340 Die! ¡°We¡¯re done for.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart had already fallen to the bottom of his stomach. There was nothing he could do except watch the crowd push the lid of the golden coffin away. A shocking aura burst out and a divine light seemed to shoot straight into the sky. Such a terrifying aura could only belong to a Great God-realm expert. Among the Great God-realm experts, this was the strongest one Qin Chen had ever seen. There were strong and weak cultivators in every realm, and even the Great God-realm elder from before wasn¡¯t as powerful as the being in the golden coffin. When the lid of the golden coffin was pushed open, the existence inside walked out. His body was covered in flowing light, as transparent as colored glass. Divine light shot out of his eyes. It was terrifying. His aura gradually rose to a terrifying realm that could suffocate people just by standing beside him. ¡°I¡¯m finally out. Hahaha!¡± What could be more exciting than finally leaving after being trapped here for countless years? To be able to live until now was already considered heaven-defying. In the past, they were definitely the only ones who could even be compared with the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. They had all lived from the primordial era to the present, though it seemed that the Emperor Burial Abyss had already existed before the primordial era. However, one could only imagine what kind of catastrophe such a figure would bring after he left the golden coffin. It was probably a calamity for the entire cosmic. After this existence broke free, he emitted a terrifying aura. Then, he wanted to tear space and leave. This was because, before this, he had already felt that the black shadow¡¯s strength was constantly growing, and the latter might become even stronger than him. Now that he had just escaped, he was no match for the black shadow. Therefore, it was best to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there were any unexpected changes, the losses would most likely outweigh the gains. He and the black shadow had fought each other for countless years on the Killing Tribulation Planet, so he knew the other party¡¯s strength very well. He knew that he was definitely not the black shadow¡¯s opponent after the latter had broken through. If he were to fight with the black shadow now, he would most likely be destroyed. That was why the being in the golden coffin wanted to leave as soon as possible. At this moment, the people who were affected by the illusion had not recovered yet. They were still in a state of confusion and stood rooted in their original spots. They were clueless as to what had happened and were still unconscious. It was as if they were still trapped in an illusion. From this, one could see how terrifying the being in the golden coffin was. To think the other party could make them affected by the illusion to this extent. Not long after, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted in the sky above the forest. It seemed that the black shadow was fighting with the being in the golden coffin. Right now, both sides were fighting. Qin Chen quickly used his spiritual power to wake his companions up from the illusion. If he didn¡¯t do so, God knows when they would come to their senses. The sounds of battle outside shook the heavens. From time to time, the furious roars of the being in the golden coffin could be heard. To survive until now, his body had long since become neither human nor ghost. He was more like a corpse that had attained the Dao. His originally glass-like body did have radiant light, which was the most powerful asset of his race. But unfortunately, once his body left the golden coffin, the light started to turn black. It was as if he was the God of death from the netherworld. The black shadow did not show any weakness either. After devouring and refining Qin Chen¡¯s Ghost Emperor Creation Stone, she had already become extremely terrifying. As soon as she made a move, a domain of darkness crushed over. Wherever it went, not a blade of grass could grow. Even some killing tribulations could only collapse and disappear in the face of the terrifying domain. This was the black shadow¡¯s current combat strength. At this point, she was terrifying to the extreme, and even her body had been reconstructed. She had also recovered her original appearance, though she looked a little weak. Now, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and killing intent was evident between her brows. Having fought with the being in the golden coffin for countless years, they had long been irreconcilable enemies. Now, the existence in the golden coffin had escaped and the black shadow had also completed her breakthrough. God knows who would win in the end. Qin Chen hurriedly led everyone away to somewhere safe. It was not safe down there. After the being in the golden coffin was released, the ground and the mountains were shaking. It was likely that the forest would collapse soon. Therefore, the best way was to quickly escape and hide. With that, Qin Chen and the others left the forest. The forest was now full of big pits and cracks. There were even some places where the cracks in the void were constantly tearing objects apart. This scene made everyone¡¯s heart jump. They didn¡¯t expect the fight between the two to be so terrifying. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s strength seemed to be constantly being extracted again. He felt very weak and fell again. Yuji had long been following him just in case he fainted. The palm print on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead turned into a black light. Right now, the black shadow and the being in the golden coffin were fighting each other to the extreme. The godfiend in the golden coffin punched out, shattering the void for thousands of miles. Even the black shadow¡¯s domain was constantly falling apart. It was as if the being inside the golden coffin wanted to punch through everything. Finally, the attack reached the black shadow. At this moment, the black shadow was magnificent, like a ghost celestial from the nine nethers. Her body was hit by the punch, and a terrible piercing injury was inflicted. The eyes of the being in the golden coffin narrowed as he felt that something was amiss. It was impossible for him to injure the black shadow so easily. He roared in anger, ¡°Holy Maiden Mu Xue, if you don¡¯t want to die, then get lost! Otherwise, when I change my mind, you¡¯ll be dead!¡± Then, the godfiend in the golden coffin released a pressure that was comparable to the emperor¡¯s might. He threw another punch that caused The Killing Tribulation Planet to cave in, and the entire ancient planet shook. One could imagine that if he really threw a few more punches, The Killing Tribulation Planet might be shattered. This was the terror of a Great God-realm expert. Of course, this Killing Tribulation Planet was no ordinary ancient planet. This was a terrifying ancient planet that was left behind by an unknown person. That was why it was able to withstand the fierce fight between the black shadow and the existence in the golden coffin. Then, in front of everyone¡¯s eyes, the black shadow did something unbelievable. Pa! Before the godfiend in the golden coffin could react, he was sent flying! Half of his body was shattered! ¡°Die!¡± Chapter 341 - 341 Eating an Aphrodisiac 341 Eating an Aphrodisiac Half of the godfiend¡¯s body which had come from the golden coffin shattered, but a mysterious power was burning, seemingly interweaving into bright patterns. He was shocked. He had never thought that Holy Maiden Mu Xue would be so powerful. What kind of treasure did she eat? What kind of opportunity did she obtain to advance to such a terrifying realm?! ¡°The ghost celestial is so powerful! She¡¯s simply a goddess of the generation!¡± The big scorpion was not stingy with his praise. Yuji, on the other hand, felt ashamed of her inferiority. After the black shadow broke through, not only had it reconstructed its body, but it also became more powerful. Even the being in the golden coffin was no match for her. After the successful attack, the black shadow continued to pursue and attack. A black-light shot out like a monstrous wave! The godfiend from the golden coffin roared in anger, and the power on his body became more and more terrifying. He knew that if he didn¡¯t go all out now, he might not have a chance anymore. Seeing that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was more powerful than him, he had no intention of continuing the battle. He wanted to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would die today. The terrifying battle between two Great God-realm experts filled everyone with complicated emotions. This was a battle that they had never seen before. Just feeling the fluctuations of this battle was enough to broaden their horizons. Whether it was the black shadow or the godfiend from the golden coffin, they did not pay attention to Qin Chen and the others. In their eyes, these people who had not broken through to a higher realm could only be regarded as ants. However, their battle did not affect Qin Chen and the others either. It was unknown if it was because Qin Chen had given the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone to the black shadow. The black shadow began to return the favor, sending waves of pure energy into Qin Chen¡¯s body through palm seals. Immediately, Qin Chen felt much better. The fact that the black shadow could still be distracted even though she was facing the godfiend who had broken free from the golden coffin was enough to show how powerful she was now. The godfiend was probably unable to suppress her. The two of them had been fighting since the primordial era, and it was time to put an end to it. A terrifying band of light was thrown out by the godfiend. It was like a belt of stars with a terrifying power that could tear apart an ancient planet! The black shadow was not to be outdone either and immediately retaliated. The black gas on its body formed a domain, and countless terrifying resentful souls roared and pounced toward the godfiend like a tidal wave. If a Great God fell into it, one would be severely injured even if one didn¡¯t die! The Killing Tribulation Planet shook as if it couldn¡¯t withstand such a terrifying battle and was about to shatter! Qin Chen cursed the Divine Fire Great Emperor in his heart. This guy didn¡¯t even mention that there were two Great Gods being suppressed on the Killing Tribulation Planet. If Qin Chen and the others hadn¡¯t been careful enough, they might have already died at the hands of one of these two. Now, taking advantage of the battle between the two, he wanted to quickly seize the treasures on the Killing Tribulation Planet. Otherwise, they might not have such a good opportunity later on. With that, Qin Chen sent a voice transmission to everyone. Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up and they left immediately. If they didn¡¯t, they could probably only watch the battle between the two anyway. No matter which side they helped, it would be somewhat inappropriate. It was better to let them fight it out themselves. It seemed that it would be difficult to determine the winner and the outcome in a short time. No matter which of them won and survived, Qin Chen and the others had enough trump cards to protect their lives. At least, they would be able to make the other party apprehensive of them. After all, they had four extreme emperor weapons, and Whitey even had the body of a Great God. Added up, it was a considerable force. However, as a force that could turn the situation on the battlefield around, Qin Chen and the others did not join the battle. Instead, they left to look for the treasure that even the Divine Fire Great Emperor coveted in the Killing Tribulation Planet. If they could get their hands on that treasure, they wouldn¡¯t have risked their lives in vain in coming here. One had to know that all this time, they had been dancing on knives. If they were just slightly not careful, the other party might kill them. He wondered if the strongest killing tribulation on the Killing Tribulation Planet could kill such a Great God. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation. He wanted to see how terrifying the killing tribulations on this Killing Tribulation Planet exactly were. If even the Divine Fire Great Emperor said that those killing tribulations could kill a Great God-realm expert, could it make one of them die? After all, he had gotten a treasure from checking in with the system, the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation. If the strongest killing tribulation could indeed kill a Great God-realm expert like those two, it meant that his Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation had such might as well. Qin Chen would not use such a trump card unless he had no other choice. This was something that could save his life at a critical moment. As the two fought like crazy, the Killing Tribulation Planet was about to shatter. Cracks began to appear on the ground, forming a dense spider web of cracks. It was unknown how deep the cracks were, but they seemed to be hundreds of thousands of feet deep. Qin Chen and the others did not dare to waste any more time. They quickly went to find the treasures in the Killing Tribulation Planet. That supreme treasure was their ultimate goal in coming here. Following this, Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and charged forward alone. Whitey and the rest followed behind him. The divine iron rod in Prince Zhan¡¯s hand burst with a terrifying Emperor¡¯s might, which was also able to resist the killing tribulation. With the addition of Supreme Sage Qin Tian, the terrifying heavenly tribulations couldn¡¯t kill the two. As long as they could slowly match Qin Chen¡¯s footsteps, they should be able to catch up. It was only because the Killing Tribulation Planet was about to shatter that Qin Chen chose to leave by himself first. Otherwise, he would not have enough time later. At this moment, Qin Chen no longer hesitated. With the awakened white jade celestial bell above his head, killing tribulations struck his body one after another but were all blocked by the white jade celestial bell. However, his hand was still numb and trembling from all the attacks, making him almost unable to hold the white jade celestial bell. Qin Chen roared as his Chaotic Holy Body burst forth. Terrifying rules of chaos surrounded his body. In the end, he held the white jade celestial bell and withstood countless terrifying killing tribulations as he ran wildly. The killing tribulations were getting increasingly terrifying, causing Qin Chen to feel fear. Could it be that he was about to encounter a killing tribulation on par with the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation? That kind of killing tribulation was enough to kill an ordinary Great God. Qin Chen did not know if the white jade celestial bell could protect him. After all, his body was made of flesh and blood while the white jade celestial bell was an extreme emperor weapon. Even if a hundred of him died, the bell would still be fine. Qin Chen left everyone in the dust, causing everyone to exclaim. ¡°Did the Elder King eat an aphrodisiac? Could he have been attracted by that peerless female ghost celestial?¡± The big scorpion dodged Yuji¡¯s attacks. He didn¡¯t understand why the latter would act so erratically at the mention of the female ghost celestial. This time, Qin Chen was indeed going all out. Chapter 342 - 342 Nine 342 Nine-revolution Chaos Pill After all, if he wanted to obtain the most precious treasure on the Killing Tribulation Planet, he had to risk his life. Otherwise, he would not know where the treasure would be even if the entire ancient planet shattered. At least now, he could still try to find the treasure before the ancient planet shattered. The ground kept shaking, and more and more cracks appeared. In the end, Qin Chen had no choice but to release waves of divine power and step on them to maintain the speed of his Moving Secret Technique. Otherwise, he might step into a crack and fall. As the killing tribulations increased, they bombarded the white jade celestial bell. Immediately, the white jade celestial bell began to ring incessantly, almost deafening Qin Chen. There were constant explosions, causing him to bleed from his seven orifices. With no other choice, Qin Chen could only grit his teeth and continue forward. What was he here for? Of course, he was here for that supreme treasure. He definitely couldn¡¯t return empty-handed! Under immense pressure, Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that his internal organs had been injured. If this continued, his internal organs might be shattered by the white jade celestial bell¡¯s chimes before he could find the supreme treasure. Fortunately, he could already see a palace in front of him. It was not too far away from him. The treasure must be inside. After all, with so many deadly tribulations set up, it was impossible for the treasure to be placed elsewhere. The closer Qin Chen got to the palace, the more he could feel a terrifying aura coming from the front. It seemed to be even more terrifying than the aura of a Great God. Could it be there was a killing tribulation ahead with power on par with the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation? If that was the case, the gates of hell that Qin Chen had to pass through were right in front. If he could break through the gates, he would be able to obtain the supreme treasure. If he could not, he would be killed on the spot. The terrifying chimes were still ringing. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes seemed to be able to see the stars and the moon. Killing tribulations continued to fall from the outside world and bombarded the white jade celestial bell. The white jade celestial bell wasn¡¯t damaged at all. Instead, it was shining more and more brightly. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. Every step he took was wobbly, and he almost fell. Fortunately, there were no cracks in the ground here, which was enough to show that the palace ahead should be the safest place on the Killing Tribulation Planet. The structure of the ground here was much tougher than in the other places. As long as the ancient planet did not shatter and the place remained unaffected by the black shadow and the godfiend from the golden coffin, Qin Chen could continue to move forward. It was just that this feeling was too terrifying. He felt that he was about to die. As he carried the white jade bell forward, he vomited mouthfuls of blood as f his blood was free. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were already dyed with a layer of blood. Blood tears kept dripping down from the corners of his eyes. Even with his Chaotic Holy Body, which had reached an unparalleled level, he was still tortured so miserably. Even a Great God-realm expert would not be able to withstand the terrifying bell chimes. If Qin Chen had broken through to the God realm, it would have been much better. However, he was only at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. Facing the bell was no different from death¡¯s chain hanging on his body. However, he couldn¡¯t throw the bell away. After all, the moment he did so, the killing tribulations that were striking the bell would land on him. He probably wouldn¡¯t even last for an instant before being blasted into dust. Qin Chen gritted his teeth. He had to hold on, but the blood kept coming out of his mouth. It was as if his life was constantly flowing away. He wasn¡¯t sure if he could survive this. He was already seriously injured. Such an unprecedented injury could not be healed in a short period. Even though Qin Chen had refined a lot of heavenly treasures and supreme-grade celestial medicine, it was still not enough. The recovery rate was too slow. The injuries had yet to heal, and new injuries were immediately added to the previous ones. The impact continued to shake Qin Chen¡¯s five internal organs. Qin Chen¡¯s last drop of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood essence had already been refined and devoured. He was now at the end of his rope. Even if he stood still, there would still be a steady stream of heavenly tribulation bombarding the white jade celestial bell, which would make the bell chime and thus shake his internal organs. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He immediately shouted in his heart, ¡°Check in! Check-in!¡± If not for the system¡¯s prompt that he could check in, he would have given up soon. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you¡¯ve checked in on the Killing Tribulation Planet and obtained the nine revolutions chaos pill!] [Nine revolutions chaos pill: One-time-use consumable. It is a pill refined by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. After consuming it, one can reform their body and have the Chaotic Divine Body, a unique physique in history!] ¡°What!¡± Qin Chen almost went crazy. He already had the Chaotic Holy Body and had devoured three drops of blood essence left by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. His body had long become a peerless Spirit Body in this world that was one in a million. But now, the nine revolutions chaos pill could also transform his body once again, turning his body into the Chaotic Divine Body that had never appeared in this world! How could Qin Chen not be excited? Although the Chaotic Divine Body and the Chaotic Holy Body were only one word apart, the two types of Divine Bodies were very different, like clouds and mud! One was in the sky while one was on the ground! Such was the gap between the two bodies. One must know that Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body was already comparable to a God-realm expert¡¯s body. If he evolved it into the Chaos Divine Body, perhaps he would be able to resist the shock caused by the Killing Tribulation Planet¡¯s killing tribulations bombarding the white jade celestial bell. If he could do so, he would be able to enter the palace. This was his best and last chance. He had to grasp it! ¡°Check in! Nine revolutions chaos pill!¡± A round pill appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. This pill had probably already reached the transcendent state. It was a pill personally refined by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was one of a kind. There was no other same pill in this world after he consumed it. Qin Chen looked at the pill, which exuded a strong medicinal power. Just by smelling the wisps of medicinal fragrance, he began to hallucinate as if his body had been repaired. Looking at the pill again, it was covered in pill patterns while the rules of chaos circulated on it. The power of the nine revolutions chaos pill was evident. This was a timely help! Qin Chen could not wait and swallowed it directly! Chapter 343 - 343 Chaotic Divine Body 343 Chaotic Divine Body Qin Chen did not have much time left. He felt that his body could not hold on much longer. He was vomiting blood, which meant that his internal organs could not take it anymore. Therefore, in this last moment, he had to seize every minute and second. He forcefully suppressed his blood energy that was flowing backward and swallowed the nine revolutions chaos pill in a gulp! After swallowing it, the nine revolutions chaos pill exploded with amazing healing power. Qin Chen¡¯s internal organs and meridians that had been torn and shattered were being repaired. It was as if the divine doctor Hua Tuo had reincarnated, resurrecting the dead and regrowing flesh from bones! After that, Qin Chen felt that the medicinal power was gradually changing his body. His body was no longer just strong as before, but even stronger! Now, he felt that he could easily take on God-realm experts without being at a disadvantage. Although his realm had not caught up to the God realm, Qin Chen had already reached such a terrifying level. He circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra, and dense scriptures began to appear on his body. Rules of chaos were engraved on his bones. It was probably unprecedented for the Great Dao of heaven and earth to be left on one¡¯s bones. No one could do such a thing. However, Qin Chen had now achieved such a feat. This was the unbelievable effect of the nine revolutions chaos pill! As Qin Chen exhaled, the flesh on his body fell off, revealing new skin that was as smooth as jade. Qin Chen could feel that the blood energy in his body was now extremely powerful and seemed to be rumbling with muffled thunder. He breathed in and out the spiritual mist. This was the Chaotic Divine Body! No matter how slow his cultivation was, the Chaotic Divine Body operated on its own, plundering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his use. This allowed Qin Chen to continuously increase his cultivation and breakthrough. In the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the vast cosmic, no one had a body more terrifying than Qin Chen¡¯s. The Chaotic Divine Body was a fortune left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. There was only one such body in the entire world, and no one could imitate it. It was impossible for the world to create such a perfect body. With such a body, it meant that he had the potential to become an emperor. Even the undying Great Gods in the world would want to possess his body if they saw it. This was because Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was simply too perfect. It was literally the most perfect body in the world. With such a body, he no longer needed so many resources to break through to the God realm. Rather, he could break through even if he absorbed very few resources because the Chaotic Divine Body could unleash 200% of the effects of a treasure. This was the most perfect Spirit Body in the world. Even back then when the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was young, he did not possess such a terrifying body. This was the blessing he left behind for his descendants. And now, it was obtained by Qin Chen. This system was simply too heaven-defying. It could obtain the blood essence of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and even give the nine revolutions chaos pill left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to Qin Chen. After swallowing the nine revolutions chaos pill, Qin Chen felt that he had become much stronger. Now, even with the white jade celestial bell on his back, he could still rush over to the palace without panting. Qin Chen roared as a terrifying aura erupted from his body. The ground cracked slightly and the void trembled. Countless rules of chaos surrounded him. At this moment, his body was filled with divine power. This was because the medicinal properties of the nine revolutions chaos pill had not been completely refined and absorbed. It was still helping him recover. With such an astonishing recovery rate, Qin Chen felt confident that he could obtain the treasures in the palace. He once again lifted the white jade celestial bell above his head. However, this time, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed. Although the white jade celestial bell was heavy, he could lift it effortlessly. He even felt like he was floating. Once again, he used the Moving Secret Technique. With that, his entire person seemed to have turned into an afterimage as he shuttled through the void in an instant. He took a step forward and arrived outside the palace. A bolt of terrifying heavenly lightning fell. This heavenly lightning was a heavenly tribulation that could kill a Great God. God knows who made this Killing Tribulation Planet for it to be so terrifying. However, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t afraid at all in the face of this killing tribulation that could kill a Great God. The white jade celestial bell above his head met the attack head-on. The terrifying killing tribulation bombarded the white jade celestial bell, and an emperor¡¯s might abruptly spread out, shaking the ancient planet. Even in the outside world, the experts of the powerful cosmic races who had not entered the Killing Tribulation Planet were also horrified! However, the white jade celestial bell was not damaged at all. It only vibrated and tore Qin Chen¡¯s palm. Qin Chen had never thought that the heavenly tribulation that could kill a Great God would be so terrifying. Without the white jade celestial bell, he would not have been able to withstand this terrifying killing tribulation. Fortunately, Qin Chen had managed to withstand the killing tribulation that could kill a Great God, for now. Next, he was going to enter the palace. The supreme treasure that the Divine Fire Great Emperor coveted must be inside. The killing tribulation could kill a Great God in the outside world, let alone Qin Chen who only had an extreme emperor weapon. Even if a quasi-Great God came, he would probably be directly blasted into dregs. The killing tribulation that could kill a Great God was indeed worthy of its reputation! Qin Chen put away the white jade celestial bell. Blood was oozing out of his hand, dripping drop by drop outside the gates of the palace. He wondered if there were any hidden dangers inside the palace. Qin Chen was a little nervous. He ignored the pain and took out his extreme emperor weapon again. With the infusion of terrifying divine power, the God in the innate sword embryo recovered and burst out with the terrifying emperor¡¯s might! The rules of chaos fused with the order of chaos on Qin Chen¡¯s body, allowing his understanding of the Great Path of chaos to reach a higher level. Then, he saw that there seemed to be some movement in the palace. He was immediately nervous. What would be in the palace? It couldn¡¯t be terrifying that could live to this era, right? The existence on the Killing Tribulation Planet was definitely terrifying. Then, Qin Chen stepped into the palace, which was much bigger than he had imagined. There was a path in it that led straight to the center. The core area should be where the supreme treasures were stored. Qin Chen could not help but sigh in his heart. He had finally arrived after all the hardships he had gone through. If he made a single mistake on the way, the Grim Reaper would have probably waved its scythe at his neck and taken him away. Chapter 344 - 344 In the Present 344 In the Present ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. The most outstanding people are still in the present,¡± The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen and could not help but say, ¡°The Elder King is such a terrifying person. Why didn¡¯t I notice him before?¡± Everyone also saw Qin Chen¡¯s shadow. It was a pity that the shadow was very far away, like a black dot. Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian worked together to activate the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and the divine iron rod in their hands respectively. Monstrous divine might erupted, bringing everyone to a place not far away. However, when they looked at Qin Chen, they still felt inferior. With the white jade celestial bell on his back, Qin Chen had already run an unknown distance. With every step he took, he withstood huge pressure. It seemed that the Elder King had been keeping a low profile. He had been extremely weak just a moment before, but now, he was as powerful as if he had taken a drug. At this point, only extreme emperor weapons could withstand the killing tribulations. Even Whitey would be injured by the terrifying killing tribulations. Whitey had already lost an arm, so his Great God body was no longer complete. If he was injured again, he might not even be able to unleash half of his original strength. Therefore, they let Whitey follow behind them while Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian led the way. Even with two extreme emperor weapons, it was not easy to defend against the killing tribulations. In just a short while, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were about to exhaust their life force. Their faces were extremely pale, but there were still terrifying killing tribulations falling. As soon as Qin Chen stepped into the palace, he felt that his field of vision had grown extremely wide. It was as if there was a living creature in the palace. This Killing Tribulation Planet had existed for countless years. Even the black shadow and the godfiend in the golden coffin had been on the planet since the primordial era. It was enough to imagine how long this Killing Tribulation Planet had existed. As such, how could there be living beings on this planet? Could it be that the living being here had lived even longer than the ancient great emperors? That was simply unrealistic. Qin Chen could only search for it alone. Then, a God that looked like a stone appeared in front of him. Qin Chen walked over and found that the stone God had opened its eyes. It was no longer like a dead statue but full of life! To think it¡¯s a living being! Qin Chen exclaimed, ¡°How is this possible?!¡± The stone God looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°If want to get the Heavenly God Spring, you must pass my test. If you can defeat me, you can enter. If you can¡¯t defeat me, you will die here. You only have one chance to choose. Do you want to fight or leave? If you choose to leave, it¡¯s still not too late to turn back, but if you choose to fight¡­¡± Only death would await. This was because the terrifying stone God¡¯s aura was even more terrifying than that of a Great God. An existence like this was probably already extremely close to the realm of the ancient great emperors. How could such a creature appear in this palace? Could it be that the other party had lived in this palace even longer than the ancient great emperors? Qin Chen¡¯s mind was in a mess. He could not imagine why such an existence would appear here. He had already made a decision in his heart. He had to obtain the supreme treasure within. Besides, he still had many trump cards that he had yet to take out. It was not impossible for him to defeat the terrifying stone God. Qin Chen could catch him off guard. So what if the other party was a Great God-realm expert? It wasn¡¯t like he had never killed a Great God before. It was just that the difficulty this time had increased a little. This time, he only needed to defeat the other party. Now, Qin Chen was facing the Great God alone. Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian were not here. If they were, they would have had a higher chance of winning. Seeing that Qin Chen was still standing there and had no intentions of leaving, the stone God thus understood his choice. When he went up to Qin Chen, his eyes were full of pity. After all, he could see that the latter¡¯s body was unique in this world. If such a character didn¡¯t die, he would definitely become an ancient great emperor sooner or later. If a few were bound to become emperors in this era, then Qin Chen should be the most likely candidate. Yet now, Qin Chen had refused to leave and insisted on fighting to the death with the stone God, wanting to seize the Heavenly God Spring. Although Qin Chen had never heard of the Heavenly God Spring and did not know what it was, it should be the most precious treasure on this Killing Tribulation Planet since it was guarded by such a terrifying stone God. Even the Divine Fire Great Emperor coveted such an item, which showed how precious and important it was. He wondered who had left the Killing Tribulation Planet behind just to protect a treasure. Since the Divine Fire Great Emperor couldn¡¯t get it, Qin Chen would help him get it this time! He was determined to get the Heavenly God Spring! Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body and said to the terrifying stone God, ¡°I must defeat you this time! I must get the Heavenly God Spring.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the stone God didn¡¯t say anything more. A terrifying aura erupted from his body as he unleashed his strength! His originally stiff body could now move normally. It was hard to imagine how a stone could be as nimble as the stone God in front of Qin Chen. His entire body was made of stone, and thus even extreme emperor weapons would not be able to shatter his body easily. This stone God had already cultivated to the Great God realm and was only a step away from becoming an ancient great emperor. If he was willing to appear in the world, then there would be hope for him to become an emperor in this era. However, it was a pity that this stone God did not have the slightest intention of leaving. The order he had received was to stay here until someone defeated him and took away the Heavenly God Spring. This was the reason why he was here. Right now, Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian were channeling their divine powers, wanting to rush over. They could feel that a terrifying aura had appeared in front. It was very likely that there was a third Great God on this Killing Tribulation Planet! For countless years, the black shadow and the godfiend in the golden coffin hadn¡¯t done anything out of the ordinary. But this time, they had unexpectedly chosen to fight. Under normal circumstances, the stone God would have already suppressed the two. It was a pity that Qin Chen had arrived at the palace, so he had to test Qin Chen first. After dealing with Qin Chen, he could then rush over and suppress the black shadow and the godfiend from the golden coffin. Otherwise, The Killing Tribulation Planet would be destroyed. Chapter 345 - 345 A Battle with the Great God 345 A Battle with the Great God The stone God exuded a terrifying aura. He had been a Great God for countless years. To think this level 7 Supreme Sage human cultivator before him wanted to challenge him. It was no different from seeking death! In an instant, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth trembled, and a terrifying pressure fell on Qin Chen. As the terrifying light shone, Qin Chen felt like he was facing an ancient beast. This stone God must have killed many existences since the killing intent on his body was extremely strong. At this moment, looking at Qin Chen, the stone God finally erupted. A terrifying aura circulated around his body as he punched out! This punch was enough to tear Qin Chen apart. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that the stone God would be so terrifying. Qin Chen was still unafraid. Maintaining stoic, he held the innate sword embryo and unleashed terrifying divine power that he infused into the weapon. With that, the extreme emperor weapon was revived, and countless terrifying waves of emperor¡¯s might spread out. The stone God was shocked. However, even with the extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen would not be able to leave alive. There was only one outcome today. Either Qin Chen died, or he defeated the stone God. The stone God was indeed a famous expert. Upon seeing Qin Chen, he decided to kill him. At this moment, the weapon God within the extreme emperor weapon was resurrected, and countless rays of light swirled around it. The stone God didn¡¯t hide his killing intent. He resisted the extreme emperor weapon¡¯s terrifying emperor might with great difficulty, then attacked Qin Chen again. If Qin Chen was a God-realm expert using the extreme emperor weapon, then he might¡¯ve been fearful. However, the former was only a level 7 Supreme Sage weakling. The stone God wouldn¡¯t even give him a second look even if the former walked under his nose. After the stone God killed Qin Chen, the latter¡¯s extreme emperor weapon would fall into the hands of the stone God. Therefore, the stone God¡¯s attacks were very ruthless. His body emitted a dazzling light as he charged at Qin Chen. Qin Chen wielded his extreme emperor weapon and slashed out waves of sword energy, but the stone God dodged every attack. One should know that the sword energy was enough to kill God-realm experts directly. Yet, the stone God had dodged them calmly, which made Qin Chen even more troubled. Unfortunately, he was alone. It was still a little difficult for him to face the stone God. Thinking of this, Qin Chen let out a furious roar. Seeing the stone God charging at him, he activated his Chaotic Divine Body, and the order of chaos wrapped around his body, forming a layer of protection. Then, he slashed at the terrifying stone God with his innate sword embryo. In an instant, the two fiercely collided. A terrifying explosion sounded as if two iron mountains had collided, making people feel endless fear. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body allowed him to be even more powerful than before. He was confident that he could fight the stone God with his extreme emperor weapon. The stone God¡¯s Great God-realm aura erupted. His fist was like a giant rock, capable of tearing mountains and shattering the void, bursting with dazzling light. On the other hand, Qin Cheng was like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, he slashed out with his sword, aiming at the stone God. The stone God was furious. If Qin Chen had been without the extreme emperor weapon, he could turn the other party into ashes with a snap of his fingers. As expected of a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. At this moment, Qin Chen had actually managed to open up a wound on the stone God¡¯s hand. The stone God was confident in his invincible body the most, but now, a wound had been cut open. This made him even more enraged. His voice was cold as he said, ¡°Only death awaits you today. Even though you have the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s weapon, it¡¯s still an external force. This will be the day of your death!¡± The stone God slowly approached Qin Chen. The latter was very calm. He poured his divine power into the innate sword embryo as if it was free, causing the innate sword embryo to shake. With the extreme emperor weapon, he could fight with the Great Gods. The stone God slammed his palm on the ground, and countless stones were suspended in the air in the surroundings by some kind of force before directly rushing toward Qin Chen from all directions. However, this was only the appetizer. When would the real killer move come? Only the stone God would know. He turned into a sharp ray of light and tore through the void, trying to crush Qin Chen. Profound and complicated Dao runes appeared on the extreme emperor weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. As it shone, the rules of chaos were scribbled on it. Following this, Qin Chen sliced through the rocks flying towards him from all directions with a horizontal sweep. These rocks were the hard rocks of the Killing Tribulation Planet, but most of them were split apart by Qin Chen, so he was not injured. The stone God attacked again. A terrifying aura filled the air. The energy he struck out was extremely terrifying. It was as if thousands of mountains were falling, making people¡¯s hearts tremble with shock. The innate sword embryo¡¯s emperor¡¯s might was as vast as the ocean, and it instantly struck the stone God. However, the stone God¡¯s body simply glowed with black light. Qin Chen tried his best to defend against the incoming attack which was probably the other party¡¯s strongest attack. The entire Killing Tribulation Planet began to shake. An endless divine light seemed to be falling from the nine Heavens, capturing people¡¯s minds. Qin Chen was sent flying and smashed into the ground, sinking into a deep pit. This attack was too terrifying. The stone God attacked again. He already had the thought of killing Qin Chen. Suddenly, in his hand, the evolution of all things seemed to have gone through the process as light and darkness rose and fell. In an instant, reincarnation was complete, all mysterious and terrifying. His hands were filled with a mysterious aura, and his hazy, dazzling body exploded with shocking power. He threw a punch at Qin Chen. The punch contained a golden light phenomenon. It was obvious that this was some kind of supernormal knowledge! Thunder rumbled as beams of light shot out from his fists as if they were penetrating a planet hundreds of millions of miles away! ¡°You¡¯re seeking your own death!¡± The stone God roared as he threw the punch at Qin Chen. At this point, the black shadow and the godfiend from the golden coffin who were still fighting were extremely shocked. This terrifying aura¡­ Could it be that the stone God had awakened again? They naturally knew how terrifying the stone God was. Even with the two of them added together, they might not be a match for the other party. Now that the godfiend from the golden coffin had finally escaped from the golden coffin, he did not want to fight with the stone God again. As such, he decided to leave immediately. He chanted a Dao technique in his heart, and the golden coffin under the forest flew out, emitting a precious light as if it wanted to carry the godfiend away. Naturally, the black shadow would not let the godfiend off. After all, across the countless years, the enmity between the two had reached an irreconcilable point. She quickly used her domain which was filled with black gas to intercept the golden coffin. Instantly, the godfiend roared! If this went on, they would have to fight the stone God when the latter arrived! Chapter 346 - 346 Escape 346 Escape The countless experts of the powerful cosmic races watched this terrifying battle outside the Killing Tribulation Planet and were terrified. They had never thought that there would be so many Great Gods fighting on the planet. Those were the auras of three Great Gods. In other words, as long as they entered the planet, only death would await them in the face of such terrifying existences. Even if they only watched from afar, death was still a possibility. With that, the experts from the powerful cosmic races in the universe left like startled birds and beasts. They knew that the Killing Tribulation Planet was not a place they could lay their hands on. Most of the experts who had gone in earlier had all died. The only human cultivator around couldn¡¯t help but worry. Would the Elder King and the others be able to survive such a terrifying battle? Although the Elder King might have an extreme emperor weapon, he was facing Great Gods! What kind of secret was this Killing Tribulation Planet hiding? Why were three Great Gods fighting all at once? Some experts were glad that they didn¡¯t enter the Killing Tribulation Planet. Otherwise, they would probably be dead. Great God-realm experts were indeed powerful. Qin Chen was extremely shocked. Without an extreme emperor weapon, even if he had countless versions of himself, he would have died before this stone God. Only the ancient great emperor¡¯s weapon could withstand a blow or two from the other party. But now, the divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body had almost been completely exhausted. He had no more divine power to pour into the innate sword embryo. The stone God was determined to kill Qin Chen at all costs. He revealed a sinister smile and said to the latter, ¡°I will send you on your way now.¡± Then, he gathered his power in his fist again. The surrounding spiritual energy was sucked dry as if all of it was concentrated on his fist. His fists bloomed with a brilliant light before he struck at Qin Chen again. He was sure that the latter was already at the end of his rope, and even with the extreme emperor weapon, the latter wouldn¡¯t be able to block his attack. Under this attack, Qin Chen would die without a doubt. Qin Chen had no other choice. The only thing he had that could save his life now was the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation. He had never experienced the most terrifying killing tribulation on the Killing Tribulation Planet before, but right now, this was his only chance of survival. After throwing out this attack, Qin Chen decided to leave immediately by tearing up space and escaping. Otherwise, he would be killed by the stone God. As he thought of this, Qin Chen watched the stone God charge toward him without any fear. Instead, he struck out a terrifying killing tribulation! This killing tribulation was the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation that was said to have the power enough to kill Great Gods. With such a terrifying might, it should be able to delay the stone God for a while. Even if it couldn¡¯t seriously injure him, as long as it could buy some time for Qin Chen to escape, it would already be good enough. The stone God did not expect Qin Chen to still dare to attack him. ¡°Not only did you not surrender, you even dared to fight back,¡± The stone God roared in anger. However, he immediately discovered that Qin Chen¡¯s attack was extremely terrifying, ¡°How is this possible? This is¡­¡± The stone God¡¯s pupils contracted as if he had discovered something shocking. When he realized that the attack was actually the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation, he was instantly flustered. No matter what, he was still a Great God, not an ancient great emperor. The terrifying Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation was enough to threaten his life. Even though he had lived on this Killing Tribulation Planet for countless years, he still couldn¡¯t withstand the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation! ¡°Damn it!¡± The stone God was shocked and angry, but he had no choice. He could only use all his strength to avoid it. However, the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation came and went without a trace, as fast as light. No matter how the stone God dodged, he was still hit. One of his arms and half of his body were blown to pieces. He was almost completely destroyed. Seeing that the stone God was not dead and had resisted the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation, Qin Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately put away his innate sword embryo and escaped by tearing the space with his Moving Secret Technique. He didn¡¯t dare to stay here for a second longer. After all, a Great God-realm expert was clearly faster than him. As long as he arrived where Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan were, he would be safer. After all, no matter how powerful the stone God was, it could not withstand two extreme emperor weapons. Along the way, countless killing tribulations fell, but Qin Chen continued to resist them by bearing the weight of the white jade celestial bell. The stone God did not expect this human to have two extreme emperor weapons! As Qin Chen continued to run, a terrifying voice exploded like thunder from behind him, filled with endless anger, ¡°I want you dead!¡± The stone God chased after him in an instant. He was more than a hundred times faster than Qin Chen. Even though the latter could tear open space and cross the void, the other party still caught up with him very quickly. Qin Chen did not dare to stop. He gritted his teeth and increased his speed again. He was now using the Moving Secret Technique to the extreme, and terrifying sounds burst out as he tore the void open. If Qin Chen¡¯s body had not transformed into the Chaotic Divine Body, his previous Chaotic Holy Body would not have been able to withstand such extreme speed. His old body would have been torn apart by the winds. Fortunately, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, and the rest soon appeared before Qin Chen. When everyone saw Qin Chen running over, they were all terrified. Behind him was a stone God with a Great God aura chasing after him. The speed of the stone God was extremely fast. How could they comprehend the speed of a Great God? At this time, Qin Chen had finally arrived next to Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan. With that, he could not hold on any longer and put the white jade celestial bell away. Then, with a plop, he fell to the ground. He was safe now. Qin Chen could finally catch his breath. The opposing Great God was too powerful. Even he was almost killed. The stone God was too terrifying. If not for the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation that managed to hold off the stone God for a while, Qin Chen would have been killed. After all, it was just easy for a Great God to kill Qin Chen, who had exhausted his divine power. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan felt their scalps tingle as they saw the Great God charging toward them. With a roar, the two drew their extreme emperor weapons. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod were instantly activated, and they exploded with Emperor¡¯s might, making countless phenomena appear. It was extremely terrifying! On the other hand, the stone God¡¯s pupils constricted. He did not expect to see so many extreme emperor weapons here. He was already very surprised that the human Supreme Sage had two such weapons and had thought that it was simply impossible. It was his first time seeing someone who had two extreme emperor weapons. And now, he was seeing two others who each had an extreme emperor weapon. Chapter 347 - 347 Youre Courting Death! 347 You¡¯re Courting Death! One should know that those were f*cking extreme emperor weapons they were talking about! Four extreme emperor weapons were the weapons of four ancient great emperors. Were there even so many ancient great emperors in history? how could there be four extreme emperor weapons in one place? The stone God was almost dazed by confusion. Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the stone God had stopped. It seemed like the other party knew that he could not break through two extreme emperor weapons while he was severely injured. Supreme Sage Qin Tian roared, ¡°If you don¡¯t back off, then let¡¯s fight!¡± The stone God was not an idiot. He could tell that the other party was goading him into action. If he used his heavily injured body to resist the extreme emperor weapons, he would most likely fall into the other party¡¯s trap. By then, all four extreme emperor weapons would be used together, and even if he was a God, he would still be in danger of dying. So, he chose to leave. After forcing the stone God to retreat, Qin Chen finally had the time to take out some pills and swallow them, slowly recovering his exhausted divine power. He was currently extremely weak. It was impossible for him to recover in a short period. It was good news that the stone God had been forced to retreat now. Following this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened as he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a supreme treasure in the palace, the Heavenly God Spring! He had to get his hands on the treasure. If they couldn¡¯t, then it would be meaningless for Qin Chen and the others to have come to this Killing Tribulation Planet. After hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect there to be a Heavenly God Spring here. That was a great treasure! They had to find a way to get it. Although Qin Chen did not know what the Heavenly God Spring was, Yuji had heard of it. In the vast cosmic, there was a divine spring that could make one¡¯s body extremely powerful. In the past, some supreme beings in the cosmic had chanced upon some Heavenly God Spring and had thus become invincible and dominated a star field. This was enough to show how precious the Heavenly God Spring was. ¡°So the Killing Tribulation Planet is guarding such a treasure!¡± The big scorpion rubbed its fists. With so many of them now, was there a need to be afraid of the stone God? Even if the other party was a Great God, he could only hand over the Heavenly God Spring. Otherwise, they would just fight and see who would die first. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Qin Chen and the others were simply unfearful toward the stone God. Furthermore, it was not certain which party would die since they had four extreme emperor weapons. At this moment, the black shadow that was still fighting the godfiend from the golden coffin suddenly stopped attacking. She stood in the air and looked into the distance. A terrifying aura was flying them. It was none other than the stone God. As the guy who had been guarding the palace on this Killing Tribulation Planet for countless years, the black shadow and the godfiend from the golden coffin naturally knew the stone God. The stone God had always been able to suppress them. But now, the godfiend had already escaped from the golden coffin, and the black shadow had also devoured and refined the Ghost Emperor Creation Stone, thus breaking through. At present, the two of them might not be weaker than the stone God. When they saw the stone God approaching, they noticed that half of his body was almost shattered. Such a miserable appearance naturally meant that his strength had been greatly reduced. Why did he still have the courage to come over? Was he not afraid of death? The black shadow and the godfiend from the golden coffin stopped exchanging attacks. They watched as the stone God flew towards them. The stone God said, ¡°To think you dare to fight in the Killing Tribulation Planet. It looks like the two of you should be suppressed once again.¡± Upon hearing this, the godfiend that had escaped from the golden coffin laughed in anger. Could it be that the stone God thought that they were still living in the past? The godfiend was once suppressed in the golden coffin, so he was naturally no match for the stone God. But now that he was free, and the stone God was speaking to the godfiend who had escaped from the golden coffin as well as the black shadow, did he still think he could stop them? In the past, the black shadow was Holy Maiden Mu Xue, a well-known figure in the cosmic. She had been beheaded by the stone God and died here. But now, she had broken through and become even more powerful. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes were already filled with killing intent as she stared at the stone God. Hatred boiled when enemies met. Although the enmity between her and the godfiend was irreconcilable, it was obvious that the grudge between her and the stone God was even greater! With that, she burst out with monstrous divine power. With a soft cry, she attacked the stone God. Although half of the stone God¡¯s body was destroyed, he didn¡¯t seem to think much of it at all. Instead, he revealed a cold smile. He mobilized all the killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet and attacked the black shadow. Although the black shadow had broken through, she was still far from having the strength to resist so many killing tribulations from the Killing Tribulation Planet all at once. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the godfiend from the golden coffin did not expect that the stone God could mobilize all the killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet. With so many killing tribulations gathered, it was a terrifying force. They didn¡¯t expect the stone God to have hidden his strength so well. Even for Great Gods like them, it took a lot of courage to walk through the Killing Tribulation Planet. After all, one may be killed by the killing tribulations at any moment. With so many killing tribulations, the power gathered was simply terrifying. They might even be killed directly. The multiplication of power was not as simple as one plus one equals two. The gathering of so many killing tribulations was enough to kill a Great God. Seeing this, the godfiend from the golden coffin couldn¡¯t take it anymore and escaped. He knew that if he didn¡¯t escape now, he would be killed. Who the hell would know that this stone God had hidden his strength so deeply? To think he had mobilized all the killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet to deal with them. Thinking of this, the godfiend immediately entered the golden coffin and flew out of the Killing Tribulation Planet. But how could he escape? With so many killing tribulations gathered, the Killing Tribulation Planet itself was almost unable to withstand it, let alone a Great God. The many killing tribulations pounced straight on the golden coffin, and the godfiend in the coffin immediately screamed. The rest of the killing tribulations gathered and attacked Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Originally, the stone God was not qualified to control these killing tribulations, but the Killing Tribulation Planet had sensed that the fight between Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the godfiend from the golden coffin had almost destroyed the planet, so it was angry at the two Great Gods. The current stone God was just drawing out the planet¡¯s rage to control the killing tribulations. Holy Maiden Mu Xue said in a cold voice, ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Chapter 348 - 348 Heavenly God Spring 348 Heavenly God Spring Currently, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already broken through to an extremely terrifying realm. She instantly launched an attack, and the terrifying intent of this world revolved around her. Countless darkness condensed into the most terrifying weapon in front of her before shooting toward the endless killing tribulations. The stone God simply chuckled lightly, ¡°How laughable. Who can withstand so many killing tribulations?¡± At this point, he was sure that Holy Maiden Mu Xue would also die a terrible death. After all, this was the most powerful killing blow formed by all the killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet. Even if Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already broken through and become extremely powerful, her death was still inevitable. Thinking of this, the stone God felt great. These two problems that had troubled him for many years had finally been solved. Holy Maiden Mu Xue used all her strength to resist this terrifying attack. However, she was still seriously injured. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already entered the palace. In the palace, an immortal spring was constantly emitting multicolored light. Such a precious item should be the Heavenly God Spring that the stone God had mentioned. As long as they could get the Heavenly God Spring, they would be able to improve tremendously again. The rarity of the Heavenly God Spring could be seen by the fact that it was guarded by a Great God and an array of countless heavy killing tribulations. If the news was released, many old Great Gods in the cosmic would come in an attempt to obtain the Heavenly God Spring. Everyone immediately felt that something was wrong upon entering the palace as they seemed to have triggered some kind of array. The stone God, who was thousands of miles away, flew into a rage. ¡°Damn it!¡± He roared. He didn¡¯t expect it to be the humans with the extreme emperor weapons to have entered the palace. He could not allow anything to happen to the Heavenly God Spring. With that, the stone God abruptly burst out with a terrifying aura and rushed back desperately. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who had been prepared to fight to the death, had her eyes wide with shock, not understanding what was happening. When she had blocked the attack just now, she had also drained away a lot of Qin Chen¡¯s divine power. Qin Chen had just recovered a little of his divine power, but it had now disappeared into thin air again. His divine power had been drained away by the black shadow, Holy Maiden Mu Xue who was now on the verge of fainting. As soon as he entered the palace, Qin Chen fell to the ground as if he had been injured by something. He was extremely weak at the moment. When everyone checked, they found that the palm print on his forehead was still glowing. It must be that the black shadow had sucked all of his divine power. Yuji angrily cursed the black shadow. How could she treat the elder King like this? Although Qin Chen was weak, his mind was still very clear. He suddenly thought of a problem. Since they had barged into the palace, the stone God must have a way to know that they had entered. They had to take the Heavenly God Spring away quickly and leave this place. Otherwise, they would have had to fight the stone God. At the thought of this, Qin Chen hurriedly told everyone to quickly collect the Heavenly God Spring and take as much as they could. Just as Holy Maiden Mu Xue was about to collapse, she suddenly saw a figure. The figure fell from the sky. The first thing that landed on the ground was the fragments of the golden coffin. The golden coffins seemed to have been shattered by a powerful force. Another sorry figure fell to the ground. He cursed as he felt his heart aching for the golden coffin, which had been broken. The figure didn¡¯t seem to have suffered any serious injuries. He was the godfiend! Even when all the killing tribulation of the Killing Tribulation Planet was gathered, it still couldn¡¯t kill this guy. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was in disbelief. She was already heavily injured, yet this godfiend still had the strength to fight. What should she do? She was panicking. The godfiend also noticed that Holy Maiden Mu Xue seemed to be injured, and her aura was extremely unstable. He and Holy maiden Mu Xue had been enemies since the primordial era. The hatred between them was absolutely irreconcilable. At the thought of this, the godfiend laughed, ¡°The heavens are helping me. Today is the day you die.¡± Seeing that the situation was not good, Holy Maiden Mu Xue immediately ran away. If this continued, she might very well be killed by the godfiend. After all, she was already severely injured, while the godfiend wasn¡¯t injured at all. Only his golden coffin was destroyed. Qin Chen quickly asked everyone to store as much of the Heavenly God Spring as they could. He was afraid that the stone God was already on his way. He didn¡¯t want to fight with that stone God again. After all, the stone God was too terrifying. If a fight broke out, some in his party might lose their lives. Qin Chen was very worried that the stone God would fight with them. The latter was not someone to be trifled with. If the stone God decided to destroy them, even if Qin Chen and the others had extreme emperor weapons, some of them would inevitably die. After all, extreme emperor weapons were not omnipotent. If a Great God as terrifying as the stone God went berserk and was without a care for the world, they would most likely die at his hands. The stone God was not weak, to begin with. Rather, he could be ranked among the top in the ranks of Great Gods. The battle with the stone God had almost exhausted Qin Chen. If it wasn¡¯t for the Mystic Lightning Killing Tribulation, Qin Chen would have been killed by him. Just from this, one could see how terrifying the stone God was. Moreover, he was a terrifying existence who had lived since the primordial era. Just this alone was enough to make him very powerful. After all, with so much time, even a pig could cultivate and become a terrifying supreme existence, let alone a Great God. Qin Chen guessed that the stone God was only a small step away from becoming an ancient great emperor. As long as he could fill in this small gap, there was a high possibility that he would become an emperor in this era. One must know that there were many old monsters, monstrous geniuses, experts, and Sages who wanted to become an emperor in this era. Rather, who wouldn¡¯t want to become an ancient great emperor? As long as one became an ancient great emperor, no one in the entire world would be a match for one. All the races would have to submit to one. This was the power of the ancient great emperors. Qin Chen could sense that the stone God was rushing over. In other words, they were destined to fight against the stone God. Qin Chen sighed. It seemed that he was still too weak. He touched the palm print on his forehead and was quite irritated. Why was the palm print still there? Chapter 349 - 349 Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle 349 Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle It was all because of this damn palm print that Qin Chen¡¯s divine power was being drained away in a steady stream. If it wasn¡¯t for the palm print, he might not have ended up in such a state. Now, he felt as if he would go limp from a few steps when his divine power would be drained again. Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy. It seemed that he had to find a chance to solve this problem. He himself had no way to get rid of the palm print left by a Great God. Either the mischief-maker had to undo the mischief, or he could only find an even more terrifying Great God to help get rid of the palm print. And now, the stone God was on its way. He was extremely furious at the moment and wanted to tear all the humans to pieces. To think they had seized the opportunity to steal the Heavenly God Spring from the palace. The Heavenly God Spring was left behind by the stone God¡¯s master, and there was a rule that only by defeating the stone God could one obtain the Heavenly God Spring. However, after so many years, no one had been able to get the Heavenly God Spring and make the stone God slumber. Otherwise, he would not have woken up when Qin Chen entered. A special container was required to store the Heavenly God Spring. Ordinary storage rings simply couldn¡¯t store the water. Unfortunately, none of them had such special containers on them. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly rang in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen did not expect to be able to check in here. Who exactly left this place behind for it to contain such a terrifying divinity? ¡°Check in!¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, host, for checking in to the place left behind by the Daoist master and obtaining the reward ¡°Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle¡±!] [Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle: A treasure left behind by an existence above the great emperors. It cannot be activated unless one has reached the Great God realm.] Qin Chen was extremely surprised. He did not expect to get the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle just by checking in. Was this something left behind by an existence above the great emperors? Could it be that this palace was also left behind by an existence above the great emperors? This surprised him. He didn¡¯t expect to discover so many secrets. Qin Chen finally managed to recover some divine power. He held the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle in his hand. Everyone was stumped in finding a way to store the Heavenly God Spring. However, when Qin Chen walked over, they realized that he was holding a bottle. The bottle emitted a terrifying aura that was not much weaker than an extreme emperor weapon! No one had ever seen the bottle, nor did they know what it was. Since there was nothing that could contain the Heavenly God Spring now, Qin Chen could only use the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle to do what they wanted to do. Even though he could not activate it now, it should still be possible to store the Heavenly God Spring. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took out the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle and started filling it with the Heavenly God Spring. The Heavenly God Spring was a great treasure that could make their bodies stronger. At that time, everyone¡¯s future achievements would probably not be too low. The Heavenly God Spring¡¯s cleansing of the body and marrow was almost equivalent to a chance of being reborn. It was the only treasure that had such effects. Qin Chen filled the Heavenly God Spring into the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle. The Heavenly God Spring in the hall of the palace quickly depleted and was almost dried up as Qin Chen continued to fill the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle. At this moment, Qin Chen could not help but sigh in amazement. The Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle was indeed a good treasure. As expected of a treasure left behind by an existence above the great emperors. It seemed to be able to hold a lot of the Heavenly God Spring. He even had a bold idea to store and take away all of the Heavenly God Spring. In any case, the stone God didn¡¯t have much need for it, so it was better to let them take it away. It would be a waste to leave it here. At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly came from outside of the palace. Everyone was shocked. Qin Chen quickly put away the Supreme Pristine Jade Bottle. The stone God was on the verge of collapse as his eyes glared at the people. He saw that the Heavenly God Spring in the hall was almost empty. So much of the Heavenly God Spring had been taken away by the humans. He was instantly enraged and wanted to kill all of them here. However, he did not expect Qin Chen to strike first. Qin Chen had already recovered a little. He took out the innate sword embryo and infused the last of his divine power into it, then he slashed out a beam of sword energy. Although the sword energy was not as terrifying as Qin Chen¡¯s previous waves of sword energy, it was still very powerful. This caused the stone God to be extremely furious. He roared, ¡°Leave the Heavenly God Spring behind!¡± Immediately, some of the people laughed. Why should they give up the things that they had obtained with their own abilities? Since ancient times, the capable would get what they wanted. If one had the ability, one could also get what one wanted. Now, Qin Chen and the others had already gotten a hold of their target. At the thought of this, Qin Chen shook his head and said to the stone God, ¡°If you want to fight, then let¡¯s fight.¡± The stone God was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had been ordered to stay here to guard the Heavenly God Spring. He didn¡¯t expect that so much of the Heavenly God Spring would be lost to these human cultivators under his supervision. This made him extremely angry. He then roared, ¡°If you don¡¯t hand it over, then let¡¯s die together!¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others frowned. Sure enough, this crazy God stone regarded the Heavenly God Spring as more important than his life. Now, he even wanted to fight to the death with Qin Chen and the others. He simply couldn¡¯t allow Qin Chen to take the Heavenly God Spring away. Prince Zhan let out a furious roar. He held the divine iron rod in his hand and unleashed his full strength to activate it. He looked at the stone God and his heart was filled with anger. Since the other party wanted to kill them, he would show the other party his true strength. The other party could have a taste of him! Ultimately, they did not necessarily have to be fearful of the stone God. After all, they had four extreme emperor weapons on their side. Whitey roared as well and immediately went forward to attack. It had a Great God¡¯s body. Although it had lost an arm, its body¡¯s realm was still similar to that of the stone God, so it could still fight against the latter. Seeing Whitey coming, the stone God¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. He didn¡¯t expect that a living being who had taken over the body of a Great God would appear here and dare to attack him! The stone God exuded a terrifying divine power and charged forward! Chapter 350 - 350 Black Light Rock Golem 350 Black Light Rock Golem The stone God roared in anger, vicious and furious like an ancient beast. Spiritual energy circulated on his body and five-colored rays of light shone. Blacklight shot out from his eyes like two bolts of lightning! He vowed to kill Whitey, even if the latter had the Great God¡¯s body. Whitey¡¯s Great God¡¯s body was the body of a newly advanced Great God, so it didn¡¯t pose much of a threat. The stone God was, after all, a peak existence among the Great Gods and wasn¡¯t too far away from the ancient great emperor realm. To think this Great God with a broken arm still dared to fight him head-on. It made him even angrier. Did these people take him for a pushover because he didn¡¯t unleash his full might?! With this, the Killing Tribulation Planet started to shake, and countless space-time exploded. The distortion of the space was shocking. The stone God instantly struck out a palm, wanting to smash Whitey¡¯s body into pieces. Although Whitey only had one arm left, it was still not easy to deal with. It also roared and punched with its remaining arm. Instantly, the void split open layer by layer, causing one¡¯s heart to tremble. The two collided. Although half of the stone God¡¯s body had been shattered and he was severely injured, Whitey was still no match for him. Whitey was sent flying, and a huge hole with a diameter of a thousand miles was created on the Killing Tribulation Planet. The stone God was already at the peak of his fury. He vowed to kill these human cultivators! Prince Zhan went all out and made a move at this point. The divine iron rod in his hand was activated, and it gave off a thousand waves of emperor¡¯s might that crushed down on the stone God! The stone God saw a terrifying rod coming at him and had a bad feeling. He immediately used a powerful secret technique to escape and dodge. He now knew very well that these human cultivators had four extreme emperor weapons in their hands, and each of those weapons was extremely powerful. If he wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others, it would not be so simple. These human cultivators were too terrifying. To think they could get their hands on extreme emperor weapons, and so many of them at that. Such a feat was definitely one of a kind in history! Supreme Sage Qin Tian roared in anger as well. He stomped with both feet, causing the ground to crack as he flew out while roaring, ¡°Prince Zhan, I¡¯m here to help you!¡± Following this, the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword in his hand also erupted with a terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might, crushing the void. The space in front of him was completely distorted, and many spatial cracks that emitted terrifying auras were created. The stone God immediately retaliated. His entire being seemed to have changed as he emanated a celestial aura. He seemed to have turned into a stone statue. He allowed the violent attacks to land on his body, but this time, not even the extreme emperor weapon could shatter the stone God. His body didn¡¯t suffer the slightest injury, which made everyone even more uneasy. Who was this stone God? How could he block the attack of two extreme emperor weapons? One should know that the weapons left behind by ancient great emperors were enough to destroy stars and tear the moon apart. But now, these weapons couldn¡¯t even break the stone God. The other party wasn¡¯t uninjured. How could they believe it? The celestial aura on the stone God¡¯s body grew stronger as if a layer of light had formed on the surface of his body. ¡°What is this stone God trying to do?¡± The big scorpion really couldn¡¯t understand. Unexpectedly, the stone statue layer on the stone God cracked on its own. It seemed that something was under the layer of stone. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they watched. The stone layer shattered and fell off in pieces. After that, they saw a stone golem emitting black light emerge from the stone layer. Was this the true appearance of the stone God? Everyone couldn¡¯t help but breathe in a sharp intake of cold air. This was because the stone God had become even more terrifying than before after he had revealed his true form as a stone golem. It was as if he had transformed. ¡°I want you all dead,¡± The stone golem that was emitting black light roared. With that, he burst out with a terrifying aura and soared into the sky. He walked in the void as he charged toward the crowd. His speed was not much slower than the speed of light, and he arrived in front of the crowd in an instant. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the Zhan Prince hurriedly blocked the attack. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod unleashed a terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might. The auras of ancient great emperors were unleashed, draining away all the spiritual energy in the world before exploding with the ultimate power of the world that blasted toward the stone golem. At this moment, Qin Chen had already recovered a lot of his strength. His divine power was full, so it was finally time for him to use the two extreme emperor weapons he had to attack the stone golem. Everyone watched as Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan worked together to stop the stone golem that was covered in black light. At this point, Qin Chen had already disappeared. Then, in an instant, he tore open space and appeared behind the stone God¡¯s true body, wanting to launch a destructive attack. A huge bell appeared in his hand and chimed terrifyingly. The white jade celestial bell displayed a supreme phenomenon. It was a wondrous scene of celestials and Buddhas preaching Dao and countless experts submitting to them. Qin Chen also wielded the innate sword embryo that burst forth with endless rules of chaos, shattering the void in an instant. It seemed to be able to shatter the stars from thousands of miles away, and it charged toward the stone golem with a terrifying aura and emperor¡¯s might. The black light stone golem did not expect to be ambushed from behind. One had to know that he was facing two extreme emperor weapons from the front while two other extreme emperor weapons were coming at him from the back! Instantly, he let out an indignant roar and could only use all his strength to resist. How could a Great God block the attack of four extreme emperor weapons? In an instant, terrifying cracks appeared on the black light stone golem¡¯s body. He was once again seriously injured, and at this moment, his aura was dissipating crazily. In the end, the black light stone golem had no choice but to escape. He was a Great God. As long as he was alive, there was hope. One day, he would definitely get back at these people for this debt ten times over. The big scorpion roared, ¡°Where are you running to?!¡± Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan joined forces to give chase. Qin Chen also charged over, wanting to stop the black light stone golem. The black light stone golem had clearly made up his mind to escape, so he would not stay. If he wanted to escape, no one would be able to stop him. It was a pity he wasn¡¯t prepared enough this time and fell into the trap of Qin Chen and the others. In the end, he had no choice but to escape. After all, if he continued to fight, he would only die. That was why the stone God chose to escape. Using his powerful cultivation, he tore the space apart and rushed in, traveling through the void to a distant place. In the end, Qin Chen and the others ultimately failed to stop the stone God. Immediately, everyone felt a sense of regret. They had thought that they would be able to kill the stone God this time. After all, that was a powerful Great God. Chapter 351 - 351 If You Dont Retreat, Then Die 351 If You Don¡¯t Retreat, Then Die Fortunately, they had obtained the Heavenly God Spring. With it, they would be able to improve their strength again. There was so much Heavenly God Spring that almost everyone had a share. Everyone got a huge portion. At this moment, the Killing Tribulation Planet was still shaking. Qin Chen looked into the distance. The black shadow was being chased by the being in the Golden coffin. It was obvious that the black shadow did not have much strength left. In contrast, the godfiend from the golden coffin was still very powerful and was chasing the former relentlessly. Qin Chen touched the palm print on his head and felt quite annoyed. Although the black shadow had once given Qin Chen the energy to fight at a critical moment, she had drained his divine power dry several times. He had to settle this score with her. He also had to get rid of the palm print on his head. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly called out to the crowd, wanting to save the black shadow. The godfiend from the golden coffin saw them as well. He guessed that since the stone God had left, didn¡¯t it mean that they had already obtained the Heavenly God Spring in the palace? The Heavenly God Spring was a supreme treasure that could even tempt a Great God. If the godfiend from the golden coffin killed Qin Chen and the others and obtained the Heavenly God Spring, he felt that he could break through even further. With some devious plans in his heart, he let the black shadow rush toward Qin Chen and the others. Then, he followed behind her, step by step. He planned to attack when he got close to Qin Chen and the others, catching them off guard. After all, they had extreme emperor weapons. The four extreme emperor weapons in the humans¡¯ hands were no joke. Even he had to think about it carefully before making a move. As such, he decided to first approach Qin Chen and the others. Only then would he be able to unleash his strength and defeat Qin Chen and the others in one fell swoop. After doing so, he would be able to obtain the supreme treasure, the Heavenly God Spring! Qin Chen and the others also saw the black shadow flying over. At this moment, the black shadow¡¯s aura was weak and she had long lost the mighty presence of a Great God. Her long hair fluttered in the wind while wounds scattered her body. Her face was pale and there was a hint of desolation in her eyes. Seeing the palm print on Qin Chen¡¯s head, she recognized him. Qin Chen wielded the innate sword embryo and activated the extreme emperor weapon to resist the godfiend from the golden coffin. However, how could the godfiend from the golden coffin be so easily forced to retreat? He had long been attracted by the huge temptation of the Heavenly God Spring, and he had to get it today no matter what. If he succeeded, he could be considered to have hit the jackpot. He might even be able to make a breakthrough. As he thought of this, the godfiend continued to approach. ¡°Get lost!¡± Qin Chen roared, ¡°If you don¡¯t scram, then let¡¯s fight!¡± If it was any other Supreme Sage who dared to speak to a Great God like that, they would have long died. However, although Qin Chen was only a level 7 Supreme Sage, he had two extreme emperor weapons. Next to him was Whitey with the Great God¡¯s body, as well as Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan, who also had extreme emperor weapons. Just now, they had even managed to force the stone God away. The stone God was extremely powerful, but in the end, he could only choose to escape. Otherwise, he might not die here. But now, the godfiend was still charging over without a care. He seemed to want to exterminate Qin Chen and the others, which instantly filled their hearts with anger. It seemed that they had no choice but to fight this guy today. Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian were long prepared as they activated their extreme emperor weapons. After the terrifying innate sword embryo and the divine iron rod were activated, the extreme emperor¡¯s might struck down, making everyone¡¯s heart tremble. At this point, the godfiend from the golden coffin no longer hid his intentions. Instead, he quickly unleashed his Great God-realm combat power and charged toward Qin Chen and the others. He wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others. Immediately, Qin Chen and the rest let out a furious roar. They were also prepared for battle. Since the godfiend from the golden coffin wanted to fight, then they would fight. Now that the former was very close, Qin Chen and the others immediately used all their strength to attack him. The godfiend from the golden coffin was, after all, still in his prime and wasn¡¯t injured. The only price he had paid when he had been hit by all the killing tribulations on the Killing Tribulation Planet just now was his golden coffin. It was also because of this that the black shadow had been at a disadvantage and was pursued by the godfiend from the golden coffin. Seeing this fellow charging over, Qin Chen and the others also made their moves. The four extreme emperor weapons were so powerful that they could sink a realm in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Yet, they did not work on the Great God as he had the body of a godfiend, which was the most invincible body in the world, to begin with. A Godfiend is a creation of Heaven and Earth. This godfiend was a terrifying existence from the primordial era. How could he be torn apart so easily? That being said, only the godfiend from the golden coffin knew how terrifying the attack was. He could feel that many of his meridians had been shattered. If this continued, he might die here. After all, Great Gods weren¡¯t omnipotent. Many terrors fell at the same time. It made the entire Killing Tribulation Planet bright and beautiful, but no expert from the strong cosmic races dared to approach the planet. They only dared to watch this scene from the outside. After all, they were too weak to even get close. In the end, the temptation of the Heavenly God Spring suppressed the godfiend¡¯s rationality, and he kept dodging the attacks. Then, he continued to charge toward Qin Chen and the others. Every time he charged, his speed seemed to increase. God knows how many beings were staring at them at this point. It was obvious that the godfiend was not just for show. After all, even the black shadow had been defeated by him, though the process had been quite tortuous. Qin Chen could feel that this godfiend must be a very terrifying existence. The big scorpion kept clamoring, ¡°Kill him! Then, even the black shadow stopped and looked at Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen charged toward the godfiend. The only way for the shadow to survive was to follow Qin Chen. After all, she was already heavily injured. If this continued, the godfiend from the golden coffin would probably catch up to her before she could even leave. At that time, she would really be dead. She looked at Qin Chen. The other party had four extreme emperor weapons and someone with a Great God¡¯s body, Whitey. They should be able to fight the godfiend, right? Qin Chen saw the godfiend from the golden coffin charge at him, but he was not afraid at all. He was ready to fight his opponent. ¡°If you don¡¯t retreat, then die!¡± Chapter 352 - 352 Clone Secret Technique 352 Clone Secret Technique The godfiend from the golden coffin decided to take the risk because he felt that he still had a thirty to forty percent chance of winning. As long as he dodged the attacks from the extreme emperor weapons, he would be able to take down Qin Chen and the others. By then, he would kill them and the Heavenly God Spring would be his. He was in his peak condition now, while Qin Chen and the others had already consumed a lot of energy. If they were to fight, the outcome would be hard to tell. Who would win? At the thought of this, the godfiend let out a furious roar. His body expanded to a height of 300 meters like a terrifying giant, and he threw a fist at Qin Chen and the others. Instantly, a terrifying fluctuation erupted. This was a punch from a Great God-realm expert. Even a planet would be shattered by this punch. Qin Chen and the others wielded their extreme emperor weapons and unleashed terrifying emperor¡¯s might. The power of the four extreme emperor weapons could be considered the strongest power in the world. The godfiend circulated the Heavenly Dao, making his body extremely strong. He charged forward and blocked the terrifying attacks of the extreme emperor weapons. Then, he unleashed his full power and charged toward Qin Chen! He was so fast that he could almost tear the void apart, leaving only after images. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. They did not expect the godfiend to be so terrifying. When Whitey saw this, it roared and rushed forward, trying to stop the godfiend. The godfiend¡¯s target was Qin Chen because he had two extreme emperor weapons, which were extremely taxing on his body. At the same time, he was also the weakest. As long as he could get rid of Qin Chen, not only would he be able to get two extreme emperor weapons, but he could also use this opportunity to threaten Prince Zhan, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, and the others, forcing them to hand over the Heavenly God Spring. Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Divine Body, and the divine power in his body was unleashed. He poured all of it into the white jade celestial bell and the innate sword embryo, and the two extreme emperor weapons immediately burst with a terrifying aura! It caused the sky to change color, and the entire Killing Tribulation Planet was shaking! However, the godfiend still managed to find an opening. When the terrifying attack was about to land on him, the godfiend used some unknown method to dodge it. At this moment, he was already behind Qin Chen. The godfiend roared with laughter. He was about to succeed. Although his body had already been struck by the attacks and many parts of his body had collapsed, causing him to be seriously injured, as long as he could take down Qin Chen, it was worth it. This little price was nothing! The black shadow noticed this and instantly charged out. Although she was severely injured, she still had the power to fight against this terrifying godfiend. The godfiend immediately roared in anger, ¡°Holy Maiden Mu Xue, are you not afraid of death?¡± The black shadow¡¯s long hair fluttered despite the lack of wind, and a hint of killing intent could be seen in her beautiful eyes. The godfiend had almost killed her, but with the help of Qin Chen and the others, she might be able to kill him. The godfiend was extremely furious. He had never thought that Holy Maiden Mu Xue would dare to come out and fight him again. Currently, Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s origin had been injured, and her Great God-realm aura was extremely weak. However, she was the only one who could stop the godfiend. Whitey had been sent flying by the godfiend and wasn¡¯t close enough. It wouldn¡¯t have enough time to come over, so they could only rely on Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Qin Chen also attacked with all his strength, not daring to hold back at all. With that, the white jade celestial bell and the innate sword embryo burst out with supreme divine power! The attack of the godfiend landed on Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body. However, she had no intention of retreating. Instead, a smile appeared on her pale face. This time, she had to kill this God no matter what. She immediately burned her origin and sent most of the power back to Qin Chen¡¯s body. The black palm print on his forehead lit up and Qin Chen could feel pure energy flowing into his body. If he did not have the Chaotic Divine Body, he would have exploded. The godfiend shot out a terrifying black light, which penetrated Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body. In an instant, Holy Maiden Mu Xue fell and went limp. Qin Chen quickly caught her before continuing to attack the godfiend. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s body had received the energy feedback. His divine power that was almost exhausted was replenished at this moment, or rather, was even more than before. With all his might, he channeled the White jade celestial bell and innate sword embryo to attack the godfiend. At this moment, the innate sword embryo and the white jade celestial bell burst out with terrifying power, forcing the godfiend to retreat. The godfiend did not expect Qin Chen to suddenly make a move. He could feel that the power of the innate sword embryo and the white jade celestial bell was even more terrifying than before! What was going on? He couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter how much he racked his brain and had no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, if the attack landed on him, it would cause terrible injuries. He was already seriously injured, and he would die here if he was not careful. After all, even the terrifying stone God had been forced back by Qin Chen and the others. He definitely was not as powerful as the stone God, so he could only use a sneak attack. And now, Qin Chen seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, the godfiend could only take one step at a time and retreat to the side to avoid the other party¡¯s attack. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body had become extremely weak. She seemed weightless on Qin Chen. After Qin Chen forced the godfiend to retreat, he placed Holy Maiden Mu Xue on the ground. Then, he continued to attack the godfiend. At this moment, Whitey had also rushed over and pounced on the godfiend. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan also activated their Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod respectively. Terrifying emperor¡¯s might wrapped around them as they charged toward the godfiend. Such a terrifying scene made everyone¡¯s heart jump. The godfiend was under great pressure. He felt as if he was on the verge of death. It was as if a fatal danger was approaching him. The godfiend let out a furious roar! He wasn¡¯t willing to fail like this. With that, his body unexpectedly split into two! Another godfiend that looked exactly like him walked out from next to him. They each ran in opposite directions. ¡°Two godfiends?¡± Qin Chen and the others were very surprised. To think the godfiend knew such a heaven-defying Clone Secret Technique. They could even sense that these two clones seemed to have the same combat strength as the main body, and it was impossible to tell which one was the main body. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. He had to get his hands on such a heaven-defying Clone Secret Technique. Chapter 353 - 353 Fight the Godfiend 353 Fight the Godfiend Even Qin Chen could tell that the Clone Secret Technique was extremely powerful as it could actually allow the clone to maintain the combat strength of the original body. On top of that, it was impossible to tell who was the clone and who was the original body. He had to obtain the heaven-defying Clone Secret Technique. Now that two godfiends had appeared, Qin Chen and the others could only split up and chase after them. Instantly, Qin Chen caught up with one of the godfiends. On the other side, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan used their extreme emperor weapons to attack the other godfiend that was being stalled by Whitey. It had to be said that the Clone Secret Technique was really powerful. The clone of the godfiend actually had the same combat strength as the original. In a short while, it displayed many wonderful techniques as it fought with Qin Chen and the others. Yuji and the big scorpion quickly walked to Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s side to protect her from the ripples of the fight. After all, she had already fainted. At this point, Yuji looked at Holy Maiden Mu Xue with complicated emotions. Currently, the godfiend was using all his trump cards, using terrifying supernormal knowledge. The supernormal knowledge used by the two godfiend was the same. The power of a Great God-realm expert¡¯s supernormal knowledge was no small matter. Only extreme Emperor weapons could suppress him. At this moment, Qin Chen activated the white jade celestial bell and the innate sword embryo to fight with the godfiend, making the latter shocked. He could not imagine how Qin Chen, a level 7 Supreme Sage-realm human cultivator, could withstand the energy consumption of two extreme emperor weapons. After all, under normal circumstances, Qin Chen¡¯s divine power should have been exhausted by now and he shouldn¡¯t be able to activate the two extreme emperor weapons. But in fact, right now, Qin Chen was madly infusing his divine power into the extreme emperor weapons to fight the godfiend! The godfiend looked as if he had seen a ghost as he and his clone fought while escaping. Whitey with the Great God¡¯s body stalled one of the godfiends, allowing Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan to use their Son of Heaven¡¯s sword and divine iron rod respectively to unleash terrifying power in an attempt to kill the godfiend! It had to be said that this godfiend was indeed quite capable. It was no wonder he could survive on this Killing Tribulation Planet for so many years. He was extremely powerful and knew much supernormal knowledge. For a moment, the godfiend was engaged in a fierce battle with Whitey and the others. The Killing Tribulation Planet had become their battlefield. The huge planet was already beginning to crack as if it was about to shatter. The godfiend went berserk. He was so close to capturing Qin Chen, but Holy Maiden Mu Xue just had to butt in out of nowhere and thus ruin his plan. Otherwise, he would have already taken down Qin Chen. The initiative had been in his hands, but now, he was forced to use his trump card, splitting himself into two to stall for time with Qin Chen and the others. In the end, the godfiend had no choice but to admit defeat and escape. If the fight continued like this, he would have to face four extreme emperor weapons and Whitey once his clone died. If that happened, wouldn¡¯t he die today? Qin Chen and the others attacked without holding back, and the godfiend was on the verge of collapse. He felt that he could not hold on any longer. Finally, at this moment, Whitey and the others seized the opportunity to kill the godfiend they were facing. Instantly, the godfiend turned into a ray of light and disappeared from the world. It seemed that this was only his clone, while the real godfiend was in front of Qin Chen. The godfiend was extremely shocked. He could imagine that if he didn¡¯t leave now, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, and Whitey would come for him. If that happened, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape death even if he had wings. Immediately, the godfiend burned his blood essence and exploded with a terrifying aura. He wanted to make Qin Chen retreat, then escape. However, how could Qin Chen be forced to retreat so easily? he kept pestering the godfiend, not letting him leave. The godfiend finally panicked. He was now feeling somewhat regretful. Why did he have to get involved in this mess? Earlier, he had grasped the opportunity to leave, but now he was being chased by a group of Supreme Sages. Moreover, his life might be in danger soon. How could he not feel depressed? He was only one step away from getting the Heavenly God Spring. It was a pity that he ultimately failed. He was unwilling to give up, but he had no choice. He could only try his best to escape from Qin Chen¡¯s hands. Otherwise, he would be dead. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy to escape. Do you think I¡¯ll let you go?¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. The godfiend had no choice but to burn his blood essence. His entire body became incomparably powerful, but he only managed to force Qin Chen back a few steps. Qin Chen caught up with him again. If he continued to be stalled like this, when Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, and Whitey arrived, he would be dead. He did not want to die here. He had just escaped from the golden coffin and the killing tribulations. If he died here, wouldn¡¯t it be a great injustice to himself? The godfiend roared and exploded with terrifying power. His aura was extremely powerful as he sent a huge palm print toward Qin Chen. The giant palm was incomparably terrifying, as tall as a small mountain as it press down on Qin Chen. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He immediately used his innate sword embryo to unleash a vast wave of sword energy. The chaotic sword energy pierced through the universe as he used the white jade celestial bell to block the incoming attack. The terrifying palm print seemed to be an attack that the godfiend had poured all his energy into. After the attack, the godfiend¡¯s aura weakened a lot, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood on his body evaporated into a bloody mist, making him look extremely miserable. The price for him to unleash the giant palm print was probably not small. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo¡¯s sword energy had already arrived in front of the giant palm. However, it was directly suppressed by the giant palm. It was only when the giant palm hit the white jade celestial bell that Qin Chen managed to block the attack. Seizing this opportunity, the godfiend immediately tore open space and escaped. Unfortunately, Qin Chen would not let him have his way and slashed out his sword again. In an instant, the chaotic sword energy burst out from the innate sword embryo and exploded with terrifying power, shattering the void inch by inch. As soon as the godfiend entered the void, he was slashed by the terrifying sword energy before he could even cross the void. The void was immediately distorted, and the terrifying spatial cracks kept pressing on his body as if they wanted to crush him. The godfiend let out a miserable cry and disappeared in front of everyone. Even if he didn¡¯t die, he was probably only half-dead. This Great God-realm godfiend was indeed terrifying. He had made Qin Chen and the others pay such a heavy price but still managed to escape. Chapter 354 - 354 Green Lotus Demonic Flame 354 Green Lotus Demonic Flame Qin Chen had never seen a Great God that could withstand four extreme emperor weapons all at once. He had to admit that this godfiend was definitely one of the top experts among the Great Gods. Qin Chen sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he didn¡¯t obtain the godfiend¡¯s Clone Secret Technique. Otherwise, it would¡¯ve been of great help to him. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others finally stopped. The Killing Tribulation Planet was about to shatter. He immediately said to everyone, ¡°This Killing Tribulation Planet can¡¯t hold on much longer, let¡¯s leave quickly.¡± Now that they had the Heavenly God Spring, there was no longer any worth in staying on this Killing Tribulation Planet. With that, Qin Chen flew to Yuji and the big scorpion¡¯s side, and they left together. Qin Chen carried the unconscious Holy Maiden Mu Xue on his back. He still had many things to ask her. He also needed her to remove the black palm print on his forehead. Otherwise, God knows what kind of changes it would bring to him. When they left the Killing Tribulation Planet, they found that there were no experts from the powerful cosmic races around the planet. Those people had all scattered, not daring to get close to the Killing Tribulation Planet. After all, this Killing Tribulation Planet had the auras of three Great Gods, which was very terrifying. How could they dare to get close? Getting close was just courting death. Qin Chen saw that the experts of the powerful cosmic races were all probing the Killing Tribulation Planet from afar, wanting to see what the planet had become. When those people saw Qin Chen and the others come out, they gasped. How could these humans leave the Killing Tribulation Planet alive? They had clearly felt the terrifying auras of three Great Gods on the Killing Tribulation Planet. Even they did not dare to go over, so how did these humans survive? The human cultivator who had predicted that Qin Chen and the others would most definitely come out alive was extremely excited. When he saw them, he hurried over to congratulate the Elder King. However, Qin Chen and the others simply tore through the void and left. The human cultivator could only watch from afar as they left. All the experts were shocked. They could not figure out how those humans could come out of the Killing Tribulation Planet alive. Not long after, the planet suddenly exploded, and the terrifying aura devoured the spiritual wills of many experts who were still probing the planet and did not have time to withdraw their spiritual wills. The explosion was extremely terrifying, causing everyone to feel shocked. They had no idea what had happened on the Killing Tribulation Planet. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest had already torn apart the void and left. They arrived at a quiet place, an ancient planet at the edge of the star field. There was nothing on the ancient planet. Qin Chen put Holy Maiden Mu Xue down and started to consume pills to heal his injuries. After this battle, everyone¡¯s consumption was quite great. Luckily, Qin Chen and the others had the Heavenly God Spring. They had already distributed it before, so now they began to refine and absorb it. Qin Chen walked to Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s side and fed her some of the Heavenly God Spring. He knew that her origin had probably been injured in this battle so she would not probably wake up any time soon. With the Heavenly God Spring, he believed that she would wake up soon. On the other hand, Yuji felt some envy. Why was the Elder King so concerned about the black shadow? After Holy Maiden Mu Xue was fed the Heavenly God Spring, a terrifying vitality started to heal her body, slowly healing her injuries. Her aura was gradually strengthening, and it seemed that she would recover soon. After that, Qin Chen began to refine the Heavenly God Spring to recover from his injuries. He quickly recovered and his aura became extremely terrifying. He had actually reached the peak of level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm, about to break through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. However, he did not choose to break through. After all, he knew that if he did, the Heavenly Dao would immediately send down a heavenly tribulation. The others had also broken through immediately after refining the Heavenly God Spring. For example, Supreme Sage Qin Tian had entered the God realm. Prince Zhan had become a level 2 God realm expert. As for the big scorpion, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. His aura had broken through two levels, from level 5 of the Supreme Sage realm to level 7 of the same realm, which made him very excited. Yuji, on the other hand, had broken through three levels in one go, from level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm to level 1 of the God realm. She was only one step away from level 2 of the God realm, just like Prince Zhan. Everyone¡¯s improvement was obvious. As expected of a treasure that even the Divine Fire Great Emperor coveted. Since their strengths had been improved to such terrifying realms, if the stone God dared to attack again, Qin Chen and the others were confident that they could kill him. After all, Supreme Sage Qin Tian had also broken through to the God-realm. Once one broke through to the God realm, the unleashable power of the extreme emperor weapon would be stronger. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] The system¡¯s unexpected voice rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, giving him a shock. Wasn¡¯t this place just an ordinary ancient planet? Why was there a powerful divinity remnant left? He was immediately excited. Could it be that his luck had become better? To think he could encounter powerful divinity remnants anywhere he went. Then, he muttered in his heart to check-in. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, host, for checking in at the land left behind by the demon race¡¯s Azure Emperor. You have obtained the reward ¡°Green Lotus Demonic Flame¡±!] [Green Lotus Demonic Flame: A terrifying flame, transformed from the energy left behind by a demon race¡¯s great emperor after his death. It¡¯s extremely terrifying and can burn even Great Gods.] Immediately, Qin Chen was shocked. He did not expect to obtain the terrifying flame left behind by the demon race¡¯s Azure Emperor. To think the flame could even hurt Great Gods. Didn¡¯t that mean that Qin Chen would have another method to fight the Great Gods in the future? He was extremely pleased as he unleashed the terrifying flame on his palm. Everyone looked at him in that instant. The flame in his hand was like a Green Lotus that was slowly blooming. They all felt terrifying pressure from it. Why had they never seen the Elder King use such a flame? Qin Chen immediately refined the Green Lotus Demonic Flame and succeeded in a short while. After refining it, it disappeared in his hand. Now, he could use it instantaneously whenever he wanted to. It could be considered a killer move. Chapter 355 - 355 Falling Into the Trap 355 Falling Into the Trap At this moment, an ordinary human figure suddenly appeared in the void. Not far from Qin Chen and the others, a stone golem was lurking. His entire body was black and looked as if he had been severely injured. He looked around and felt Qin Chen¡¯s aura, then muttered, ¡°I will definitely kill all of you. Master still has a backup plan and you have already fallen into the trap!¡± Now, the Killing Tribulation Planet no longer existed, and the Heavenly God Spring had already been taken away by Qin Chen and the others. Thinking of this, the stone God¡¯s heart was filled with endless anger. He was a powerful Great God of his generation, but to think he had been reduced to such a sorry state. He vowed to get back at them for this matter. He had to settle this score. Therefore, he had been following Qin Chen and the others, hoping to take revenge and get back the Heavenly God Spring. Qin Chen decided to take a walk on the ancient planet. He did not find anything although the place seemed to be where the demon race¡¯s Azure Emperor had once stayed. He had already gained a very good harvest, though, since he had actually obtained the Green Lotus Demonic Flame that could burn even Great God-realm experts. Now, even without the extreme emperor weapons, Qin Chen could fight against the Great Gods. Not long after, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was lying on the ground, woke up. Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes to look around. She found herself on an unfamiliar ancient planet, and Qin Chen was standing in front of her. Holy Maiden Mu Xue suddenly recalled that she seemed to have sent all her power back to the person with the palm print on his forehead. It was also because of this person¡¯s Ghost Emperor Creation Stone that she had broken through to a stronger realm and was able to fight the godfiend from the golden coffin. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Qin Chen asked, ¡°Hurry up and remove this palm print on my head.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to keep having this palm print on him. After all, he didn¡¯t know if this black palm print would bring him any other side effects. Holy Maiden Mu Xue had used her origin power to block an attack for Qin Chen when the godfiend from the golden coffin had made a move back then. She also transferred most of her energy into his body through the black palm print. Qin Chen was still very afraid, though. What if Holy Maiden Mu Xue drained his power again? What should he do then? Qin Chen had experienced such situations deeply. Once his power was drained, he would lose his divine power and simply be unable to make a move. Prince Zhan had even said that if Holy Maiden Mu Xue wanted to, she could drain him dry. She was a time bomb and a potential threat to him. If there was a chance, he had to resolve it. He couldn¡¯t let something like this stay on his body. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble. Holy Maiden Mu Xue nodded and extended her hand. Qin Chen squatted and allowed her to place her hand on his head. After a flash of light, Holy Maiden Mu Xue retracted her hand, and the black palm print on Qin Chen¡¯s head was gone. He had finally gotten rid of this potential threat. Qin Chen continued to ask, ¡°Who exactly left behind the Heavenly God Spring on the Killing Tribulation Planet?¡± He was sure that Holy Maiden Mu Xue knew about the existence of the Heavenly God Spring. After all, the other party had been trapped on the Killing Tribulation Planet from the primordial era until now. She must know a lot of secrets. He was very curious as to the existence who had the ability to put so much of the Heavenly God Spring on the Killing Tribulation Planet, as well as set up the terrifying killing tribulations that were enough to kill the Great Gods. Rather, ordinary Great Gods could be destroyed into nothingness by those killing tribulations. Who could set up such a terrifying array? Those killing tribulations were truly terrifying. Holy Maiden Mu Xue shook her head and said, ¡°By the time I found The Killing Tribulation Planet, its master had already left. I fought with that godfiend to get the Heavenly God Spring, but I didn¡¯t expect to be suppressed by the stone God. The stone God was extremely terrifying. He used the array of the Killing Tribulation Planet to suppress us in the forest and we were only released by you guys after countless years.¡± Qin Chen was speechless. He had not expected the process to be like this. Didn¡¯t that mean that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was an undying old lady who had lived since the primordial era? That was the only plausible explanation. But how did she live so long? Even a Great God wouldn¡¯t be able to live that long. As if she could see Qin Chen¡¯s puzzlement, Holy Maiden Mu Xue continued, ¡°To survive, I have long abandoned my physical body and embarked on the path of becoming a ghost cultivator. That is why your Ghost Emperor Creation Stone was of great use to me, allowing me to break through. The godfiend from the golden coffin also embarked on the path of ghost cultivation to survive. He refined his body to the level of a corpse king, and that¡¯s why he¡¯s still alive.¡± Qin Chen nodded. He could sense how long the other party¡¯s hate for the godfiend from the golden coffin was, having fought with the latter since the primordial era, so much so that she wanted to tear him apart. Holy Maiden Mu Xue then asked Qin Chen, ¡°How¡¯s the godfiend from the golden coffin? ¡± Qin Chen shook his head, feeling a little regretful. He sighed and said, ¡°He has escaped. It¡¯s a pity that I wasn¡¯t able to kill him. However, even if he doesn¡¯t die now, he¡¯ll only be half alive.¡± Qin Chen was so sure because he saw the spatial power in the void trying to kill something. Although they had reached the realm that allowed them to cross the void, they couldn¡¯t resist the power of space distortion. The real space distortion was enough to crush their physical bodies into pieces. That was why he said that even if the other party could survive, he was probably only left with half his life. At the thought of this, Qin Chen said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The next time I see him, I won¡¯t let him off.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue closed her eyes and continued to recover. She had just woken up and her body was still weak. Following this, her eyes flew open and she asked, ¡°What did you use on me?¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue could feel that her ghostly body was becoming increasingly terrifying! She had clearly injured her origin in that great battle, but now, not only had her origin been repaired, but it had also become even more powerful. Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Could it be that Qin Chen had another treasure similar to the Ghost Emperor¡¯s Creation Stone? Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°I gave you some of the Heavenly God Spring.¡± Then, he took out some of his share of the spring and gave it to Holy Maiden Mu Xue again. Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at the Heavenly God Spring in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Heavenly God Spring to be compatible with ghost cultivators! It¡¯ll bring immeasurable benefits to my body.¡± Seeing this, Yuji¡¯s eyes somehow ached, and she didn¡¯t want to watch anymore. Although she had more Heavenly God Spring than Holy Maiden Mu Xue, she didn¡¯t feel happy at all. Instead, she felt a sense of loss. Chapter 356 - 356 Dao Guardian 356 Dao Guardian They spent over a month here and were almost done with improving their cultivation realms. Only then did Qin Chen decide to leave. Now, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had almost fully recovered. She was a Great God and one of the strongest among them. Naturally, she could stay or leave at will. Qin Chen did not force her to stay, but Holy Maiden Mu Xue still choose to follow him. When Qin Chen asked her why, she told him that she wanted to be his Dao guardian. It was unimaginable for a Great God to be Qin Chen¡¯s Dao guardian. He was simply the most extravagant person in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Currently, they had only found two of the seven coordinates. Who knew how long they would have to search if they continued to search blindly? It was time to return to the ten lands to take a look. After all, the ten lands was their home. What Qin Chen did not expect was that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was from the ten lands as well. It was a pity that she remained silent and did not say a word even though he wanted to ask more about her past. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t possibly put himself in trouble by offending a Great God and making her displeased. Then, everyone tore open the void and crossed it, preparing to return to the ten lands. At this point, the star field had stopped changing and was almost fixed. Currently, they couldn¡¯t find the locations of the remaining coordinates that they had not been to any time soon. It would not be too late to search for them in the future though, thus, everyone was prepared to leave. They continuously crossed through the void and space jumped. At this moment, they were very close to the ten lands. However, what Qin Chen and the others did not realize along the way was that the stone God had been following them. They simply did not notice this. Along the way, Qin Chen and the others passed by many galaxies. There were many galaxies in this star field, and there were countless ancient planets. Most of them were lifeless because their life potential had been exhausted. Some of them had been turned into dead lands by human attacks. For various reasons, no life was born on those ancient planets. There were also many experts from powerful cosmic races who were wandering around. They were born in the cosmic, wandering wantonly in search of survival. Of course, along the way, Qin Chen and the others did encounter some experts who did not know their own capabilities and wanted to attack them. They naturally killed these small fries. Since they had delivered themselves to their door, Qin Chen and the others would not give them any chance to live. Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation appeared in front of them. It was an existence that was even more powerful than a God-realm expert! He laughed out loud, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the others to steal their treasures. This was a very common practice and occurrence in the universe. Even one¡¯s closest teammates and companions might stab one in the back. Seeing this expert who had surpassed the God realm, Qin Chen and the others simply remained silent. The expert laughed without restraint, thinking that they were scared out of their wits. He flew over directly, wielding a terrifyingly large blade, wanting to kill them. Following this, he suddenly felt a terrifying fluctuation that came from the unremarkable ghost cultivator at the side. As soon as the ghost cultivator released her aura, the expert was immediately scared silly. ¡°Great¡­ Great God!¡± He knelt on the ground, his body trembling. He was completely dazed. He wondered how he could meet a Great God so easily. How did these guys have a Great God traveling with them? This was impossible! Holy Maiden Mu Xue didn¡¯t say anything. With just a thought, the expert was torn into pieces, becoming a bloody mist under the terrifying Great God¡¯s might. When the big scorpion saw this, he simply laughed and took the spatial rings of the other party. He had taken all the spatial rings of the terrifying experts that they had killed along the way. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t think much of those spatial rings, but he did. They were treasures, after all, and a little makes a lot. The big scorpion had never disliked having too many treasures. Yuji was silent and expressionless along the way. No one could tell whether she was sad or happy. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what was going on with her, and he didn¡¯t ask. After that, the group arrived in front of an ancient planet. Holy Maiden Mu Xue suddenly frowned. She looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°There seems to be danger in front.¡± To be able to make a God-realm expert so cautious and say that there might be danger ahead¡­ Was there some terrifying existence in front of them? Qin Chen took this seriously. He didn¡¯t dare to risk his life. ¡°How did you know?¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue then looked at him and simply asked, ¡°Are you a Great God?¡± Qin Chen laughed. Indeed, he was not a Great God. Perhaps only someone in the Great God realm would be able to discover the dangers ahead. In the corner, there was an unremarkable fluctuation. It was the fluctuation of the stone God. Ever since the Killing Tribulation Planet was destroyed, he had been following Qin Chen and the others to this place. He wanted to take revenge on them for snatching the Heavenly God Spring back. Even if he couldn¡¯t get it back, he wanted to kill them and take away their extreme emperor weapons. What did having four extreme emperor weapons mean? Perhaps even the ancient great emperors would not be able to take out so many extreme emperor weapons. Those were treasures that were even more precious than the Heavenly God Spring. Now, he was ready to reel in the net, because Qin Chen and the others had arrived in front of the huge trap set up by his master. In front of them was the most unremarkable dead-end trap. It was this dead-end trap that made Holy Maiden Mu Xue feel threatened. It was enough to show that there was a terrifying power that could kill a Great God. The black stone golem laughed. He could finally take revenge on Qin Chen and the others who were as insignificant as ants. If it wasn¡¯t for the extreme emperor weapons, he wouldn¡¯t have been so suppressed. If the other party did not have the extreme emperor weapons, he could have crushed them into a bloody pulp in minutes. Qin Chen said to the crowd, ¡°There might be danger ahead. Everyone, be careful.¡± Everyone was on high alert. Since there might be danger ahead, they couldn¡¯t let their guard down. They had experienced many dangers that could appear in the cosmic. One could only say that there was bound to be someone more powerful. They had thought that with the extreme emperor weapons, there would be nothing that could threaten them. However, after almost dying at the hands of the Greats Gods several times, they finally understood that even with extreme emperor weapons, they could still die. This was something that Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian understood the most. Back when they were still on the Calamity Emperor Planet, the corpse-eating vine hadn¡¯t even reached the God realm, but it was able to cause them to go mad and almost kill each other. Chapter 357 - 357 Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array 357 Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array Therefore, nothing in the cosmic could be underestimated. Qin Chen was as vigilant as if he was facing a great enemy, and he looked at Holy Maiden Mu Xue who was also high on alert for any possible danger. Since Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was a Great God, had sensed danger, there might be grave danger ahead. At this moment, everyone was extremely vigilant and on full alert, afraid that some kind of crisis would come and catch them off guard. Then, someone appeared in front of them. It was none other than the black stone golem. To think the black stone golem that had been forced to retreat by Qin Chen had appeared here. The latter¡¯s expression froze. Could the other party be here for revenge? At this moment, Qin Chen and the others still didn¡¯t know where they were, but the black stone golem started laughing. He looked at Qin Chen and the others and said, ¡°This is where you will die.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked around and suddenly said, ¡°Not good, we seem to have entered some kind of array!¡± The black stone golem simply laughed. Following this, the surrounding void suddenly collapsed, and a peerless array appeared. There were countless killing intents hidden in this great array, shocking to even the Great Gods. The peerless great array did have the power to kill the Great Gods. The big scorpion cursed and shouted at the black stone golem, ¡°Do you dare to fight me? Do you dare to come over?¡± The black stone golem only laughed. He ignored the big scorpion¡¯s curses, took out a token, and crushed it. In an instant, the peerless array began to operate. At this moment, it blotted out the sky and blocked out all the auras. Even spiritual energy did not exist within the array. In other words, this place was about to become a true land of death. Even Great God-realm experts would die here. Immediately, everyone became serious. They didn¡¯t expect that they would step into a peerless great array without realizing it. And now, it was already too late for them to leave. That was because a terrifying fluctuation was already coming from the peerless great array. The black stone golem had already crushed the token and activated the array. The array¡¯s endless power washed over them. The terrifying killing intent was only the beginning. This array had yet to reveal its true form, but everyone¡¯s breathing almost paused. How could this peerless array be so terrifying? Instantly, Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian activated their divine iron rod and Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword respectively without a word. A terrifying aura burst forth. Qin Chen also took out his white jade celestial bell, which he put in front of everyone for defense. In his hands was the innate sword embryo as he prepared to make a move at any time. Following this, the peerless array erupted, and even Whitey felt a sense of threat. Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at the black stone golem and said, ¡°This can¡¯t be the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, right? ¡± The black stone golem nodded and smiled, saying, ¡°To think you recognize this array. Hahaha!¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s face immediately became solemn. She explained to the crowd, ¡°The Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was created by a peerless great emperor. It¡¯s said that the peerless great emperor didn¡¯t even reach the Great God realm. The reason why the word ¡°peerless¡± was used to address him was that he had the peerless means to kill great emperors, hence the name. It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t reach the great emperor realm and died in less than a thousand years.¡± ¡°He left behind many secret array techniques that many have obtained and revered as great arrays that can be the standard. The most famous arrays among them include the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. It¡¯s said that the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array is filled with killing intent, and even Great God-realm experts can¡¯t walk out of it unscathed. Some powerful figure even once used this array to kill Great Gods, more than one of them.¡± From this, it could be seen how fierce the reputation of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was. But now, the black stone golem was using it to deal with Qin Chen and the others. It could be seen that in the black stone golem¡¯s heart, Qin Chen and the others posed a great threat to him. Yet, at this moment, the black stone golem was also in the array. Qin Chen immediately thought of an idea. If he killed the black stone golem, would he be able to stop the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array? As soon as he had this thought, Holy Maiden Mu Xue interrupted his fantasy, ¡°Even if we kill him, the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array will still operate, and we won¡¯t be able to escape. Moreover, the black stone golem definitely has a way to get out. He can¡¯t possibly remain in this array and allow himself to be buried with us. Since he¡¯s confident that he can kill us, he definitely won¡¯t wait here to die with us.¡± Speaking up to this point, Qin Chen and the others were simply shocked. They didn¡¯t expect the black stone golem to be so vengeful and had chased after them just to kill them. To think they had unknowingly fallen into the other party¡¯s trap. The Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array exuded a terrifying aura that even extreme emperor weapons could barely manage to withstand. It was impossible to break the array. This also showed that the array left behind by the peerless great emperor was indeed the world¡¯s masterpiece. Having passed down through the ages, It was indeed no ordinary thing. Even the weapons of the ancient great emperors could not break it! The black stone golem laughed. ¡°You guys can just wait here for death. Let me watch you die in pain. This is my pleasure!¡± Following that, the black stone golem prepared to leave. Naturally, Qin Chen would not let him leave just like that. Immediately, he unleashed his Chaotic Divine Body erupted, and countless rules of chaos condensed on his body, emitting a brilliant light. Qin Chen stepped into the void and performed the Moving Secret Technique. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and poured his divine power into it, unleashing monstrous power. Countless chaotic sword energy pierced through the air toward the black stone golem. Even a Great God couldn¡¯t take such a terrifying attack head-on. But how would the black stone golem fight Qin Chen here and now? Now that the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was activated, he couldn¡¯t stay here any longer. Otherwise, even he himself would be in grave danger. That was why he was in such a hurry to leave. Watching as Qin Chen charged at him with the innate sword embryo, a trace of greed could be seen in the corner of the black stone golem¡¯s eyes. As expected of the weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. It was so terrifying! Fortunately, this treasure would be his in a while. The black stone golem sent out a punch that shattered the void. The punch was powerful enough to penetrate a planet and produce shock waves even within the mysteries of the cosmic. This was the black stone golem¡¯s proudest attack. Now that it had been used, it sent Qin Chen flying back, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Although Qin Chen could pose a threat to the black stone golem, he was only an ordinary level 7 Supreme Sage and had not broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t possibly be unscathed against the other party¡¯s best move. Chapter 358 - 358 An Ancient Trap 358 An Ancient Trap His body was injured by the terrifying impact, but the black stone golem did not continue to attack. Instead, he left. The black stone golem knew very well that if he made a move, Holy Maiden Mu Xue would probably attack. At the same time, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, Prince Zhan, and the rest would not just stand by and watch. They would all attack together in an attempt to keep him here. Either way, the extreme emperor weapons and treasures would be his after Qin Chen and the others died. What was the rush? He did not believe that they could leave this place unscathed. After all, this was the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array that had killed more than one Great God and was truly a great killing weapon. Even if Qin Chen and the others were lucky enough to escape from it, they would probably be half-dead. At that time, the black stone golem would definitely be able to kill them in one fell swoop and take their extreme emperor weapons. With so many extreme emperor weapons, the black stone golem could deal with anyone he wanted. He had many old enemies in this world. His old enemies did not have extreme emperor weapons, so if he used his Great God-realm power to activate the extreme emperor weapons, he could definitely reach a terrifying level. By then, his attacks would be comparable to a casual strike from an ancient great emperor, and no one in the world would be able to stop him! Thinking up to this point, the black stone golem could not help but roar with laughter as he left. Immediately, a small crack appeared in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, and the black stone golem¡¯s body shrank a little as he entered the crack. Then, the crack closed, and the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array continued to operate. Countless killing intents started to appear! If this went on, Qin Chen and the others were bound to be hit by the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array¡¯s attacks. Thinking of this, Qin Chen tried to find a way to break out of this situation. Unfortunately, this array was left behind by a peerless great emperor. Although the peerless great emperor wasn¡¯t a great emperor yet, he had the means to kill great emperors. This was enough to show how terrifying his attainments in the Dao of arrays were. It had already reached an unimaginable level. How could the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array left behind by such a person be so easily broken? Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue tried to persuade Qin Chen, ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s impossible to break it. ¡± Qin Chen did not believe in such words. He let Holy Maiden Mu Xue take control of the white jade celestial bell. With the latter¡¯s power as a Great God, the white jade celestial bell would naturally be able to reach infinite power. Qin Chen and the others had never seen how much power a Great God wielding an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor could unleash, but at the very least, it should be extremely terrifying and able to support their survival in this Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. However, they still needed to find a way to break out of this situation. There must be a spot in this array that could be broken. As long as they could find the most crucial spot, they would be able to escape and leave the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. God knows how terrifying the array was. Therefore, when Qin Chen entrusted the white jade celestial bell to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, she took it without hesitation and used her divine power to activate it. She had now broken through the bottleneck above the Great God realm and reached the level of a top expert among the Great Gods, just like the black stone golem. Her ghost body had undergone a qualitative change, now composed of a special energy that was comparable to divine power. At this point, her body was no different from that of an ordinary living being, and she could almost be considered a human with flesh and blood. After Holy Maiden Mu Xue injected her power into the white jade celestial bell, a terrifying emperor¡¯s might burst out from the bell. It was even more terrifying than the emperor¡¯s might that was unleashed when Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian cooperated to activate the divine iron rod and Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword respectively! The white jade celestial bell instantly expanded, turning into a peerless bell that covered them, allowing them to hide inside. God knows if this was enough to withstand the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array¡¯s obliteration. At this moment, Qin Chen had already charged out with the innate sword embryo in his hand. Just as he was about to leave, Holy Maiden Mu Xue grabbed his wrist and left a palm print that was emitting a black light. This way, if Qin Chen¡¯s divine power was insufficient, she could give him some power and save his life at a critical moment. Qin Chen did not refuse. Then, he activated the innate sword embryo, swallowed a few pills, and rushed out. There were countless complicated Emperor runes within the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array that were spinning. Faint shadows of terrifying existences seemed to be flooding over from all directions in the great array that was constructed by countless array powers! Like a tidal wave, the shadows poured out and filled the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, pressing on the white jade celestial bell. The white jade celestial bell immediately emitted a dazzling light as if it was under a fierce attack. The terrifying attacks tried to destroy the extreme emperor weapon. No one knew how long the white jade celestial bell could last. Right now, Qin Chen had already arrived at the edge of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. Outside the array, the black stone golem sneered with his hands behind his back. Did the other party want to break the array with just an extreme emperor weapon? It was simply a fool¡¯s dream! No one had ever heard of anyone being able to walk out of such an array unscathed. The true horror of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had not been unleashed yet. How could Qin Chen and the others leave? The black stone golem sneered at Qin Chen and the rest from the outside. However, Qin Chen and the others could not see what was going on outside the array. This was the horror of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. It isolated the area within the array into a small world that was independent of the entire world. It could be considered another place, and this place was filled with a large amount of law power that was extremely terrifying and enough to kill Great Gods. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and slammed it onto the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. Instantly, the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array exploded with terrifying power, sending him flying. Qin Chen managed to stabilize himself with great difficulty. He saw that he could not cause any damage to the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array at all. It was as if they had been isolated in a light shield, and he had no way to attack the wall of the light shield. Even if the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might, it could not leave any trace on the light shield. This was enough to show how terrifying the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was. Even with extreme emperor weapons, Qin Chen and the others might not be able to break through it and escape. The stone golem outside laughed wildly. In his heart, he was calculating how long it would take for Qin Chen and the others to die in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. ¡°As expected of a killing trap left behind by the master! It can easily kill these human cultivators. This is an ancient killing trap! How can the chess pieces trapped within escape the chessboard?!¡± Chapter 359 - 359 Century Array Disk 359 Century Array Disk Qin Chen roared. Only now did he realize how terrifyingly helpless he was in the face of something he could not resist. He felt as if he had lost all his strength. Seeing that Qin Chen¡¯s mood was not quite right, Yuji could not help but feel anxious. Holy Maiden Mu Xue reached out and grabbed him, pulling him back. If she didn¡¯t, Qin Chen might die under the terrifying killing tribulations. The power of the array was too terrifying. Even with an extreme emperor weapon, he might not be able to withstand it. Seeing this scene, everyone¡¯s heart turned cold. They did not know what to do. They seemed to be trapped in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. The key was that there was nothing they could do. They could only watch as the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array continued to operate, constantly using the powerful array power to wear down the white jade celestial bell. The black stone golem outside laughed. Now, these human cultivators were no longer a threat. Their deaths were almost inevitable. Even if they didn¡¯t die, the black stone golem could kill them all. When he thought of this, he couldn¡¯t help roaring with laughter. Qin Chen and the others were almost drowning in anxiety, at a loss for how to leave. The black stone golem stood outside the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array and seemed to have thought of something, ¡°Do you want me to add something fun?¡± A cruel smile appeared on his face as he threw a stone in. After the stone entered, it was obliterated by the terrifying power of the array. Then, it unexpectedly absorbed all the power of the array and turned it into a terrifying stone that flew everywhere. It was terrifying! They could see that when the stone hit the white jade celestial bell, its effect was even more terrifying than the array power as runes on the white jade celestial bell disappeared wherever the stone hit. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was shocked by this scene. She did not know what this thing was. The true terror of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had thus begun. The array operated, erupting with the horror of a peerless array. Many phantoms appeared, which seemed to be creatures that had died in the array. They rushed toward the white jade celestial bell as if they wanted to tear it apart. However, how could the white jade celestial bell be torn so easily? The white jade celestial bell continued to shine with light, still totally undamaged. This was the power of an extreme emperor weapon. Unfortunately, such a terrifying force was also consuming the energy in Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body. When her energy was exhausted, the white jade celestial bell would no longer be usable. At that time, the boundless array power, coupled with the countless black shadows that were like a tide, would bury them in this peerless great array, killing them once and for all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. However, there was nothing they could do to change their circumstances. Suddenly, when he turned his gaze toward the stone flying around outside the white jade celestial bell, the system suddenly sounded. [Ding dong!] [A terrifyingly powerful divinity remnant has been discovered on the stone ahead. Would the host like to check in?] [Note: you must be within three inches away from the stone to check in!] Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard the system¡¯s voice. However, he soon discovered something that made him feel helpless. The power of this stone was extremely terrifying. After all, it was able to make the white jade celestial bell shine with a dazzling white light when it hit, which showed that it must have a powerful destructive power. How could he obtain the stone? ¡°If I can get my hands on that stone, I might be able to find a way to resolve our situation,¡± Qin Chen said to Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Qin Chen could only place his hopes on the system. If he managed to get something good after checking in that could help them escape, that would be great. Currently, they were simply hopeless. After all, even extreme emperor weapons were not of much use here. At this moment, the energy within Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body was being consumed at a crazy rate to support the white jade celestial bell. The extreme emperor weapon was being bombarded by so many terrifying powers, and it was already a huge burden on her. What should she do now that Qin Chen said that he wanted the stone? It definitely wouldn¡¯t be easy for her to obtain it by herself. Moreover, this thing¡¯s offensive power was too strong, and she didn¡¯t know what it was. Outside the array, the black stone golem laughed. The stone was a killing weapon that he had discovered. If it was instilled with divine power, it would become a terrifying killing power when placed in a sealed-off environment. It would shuttle back and forth continuously until its energy was exhausted. But at the same time, it could absorb all energy. This thing had almost killed him back then. Now that he had thrown it into the array, he could see that even the extreme emperor weapon was shining with white light from the stone¡¯s collision. With this, he could imagine how terrifying the power of the stone would be in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue chose to trust Qin Chen unconditionally. She believed that he would not lie to her. She made a decision and gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with determination. Then, she opened a small hole in the bell¡¯s barrier and let the stone in just as it hit the bell. Following this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue grabbed it with her palm. As she held the stone in her hand, a terrifying aura pressed on everyone¡¯s heart. Just how terrifying was this stone? Blood was dripping from Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s hand. Currently, She had already reconstructed her body and was no longer a ghost cultivator. Instead, she was now an existence that was even more powerful than a ghost cultivator. She had already reached the level of a top expert, but she still had to pay such a huge price to hold the stone. Blood dripped onto the ground from her hand, which showed Qin Chen and the others how big of a price she had paid. Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at Qin Chen and handed the blood-stained stone to him. Qin Chen nodded to her after receiving it, then muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have checked in to the item left behind by the primordial divine emperor and obtained the reward, the Century Array Disk!] [Century Array Disk: Can be used three times for absorption. After activation, it can release a peerless array disk that can absorb the power of terrifying arrays and turn it into its own. Can be used three times for battle, to kill Great God-realm experts!] What? To think it was the Century Array Disk! It could devour the power of arrays? In other words, Qin Chen and the rest could now devour the power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array? This was simply timely assistance! Following this, a terrifying black and white array disk appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. Chapter 360 - 360 Death Without Life 360 Death Without Life To think the Century Array Disk also provided three chances to kill Great Gods. In other words, Qin Chen could kill three Great Gods with it. He was immediately overjoyed. Furthermore, the Century Array Disk could absorb the array power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, which would greatly alleviate their current situation. He could also use this opportunity to try to break the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. At that time, they would be able to escape. At this point, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had consumed a lot of energy. Her face was extremely pale, and it was obvious that the energy in her body would be exhausted soon. At that time, she would no longer be able to support the white jade celestial bell. Once that happened, everyone would be killed in an instant. Qin Chen had been quite fearful of such a terrifying array. However, since he now had the Century Array Disk, he was naturally no longer afraid. He took out the Century Array Disk, and a terrifying aura suddenly appeared, causing everyone to feel shocked. The black-and-white array disk in his hand continued to emit black-and-white light that intertwined. The terrifying Great Path of reincarnation revolved with the terrifying Great Path, gathering all the surrounding array power, including the black shadows that were pouncing on the white jade celestial bell like a tidal wave. At this moment, all of them were absorbed by a vortex. Holy Maiden Mu Xue let out a long breath of relief. She was bewildered, wondering how Qin Chen could take out such a terrifying treasure. Could it be related to the stone in his hand? That stone was also a rare killing weapon, but the shock it brought was definitely not as huge as the reaction she gave when she saw the black-and-white array disk in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. She was extremely shocked, and everyone was also inexplicably surprised. They didn¡¯t know how the Elder King could take out such a terrifying magic item. In an instant, the array power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was completely absorbed by the black-and-white array disk. The black stone golem outside the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array immediately revealed a look of horror. He had never seen anyone who could absorb the array power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. What did this mean? This meant that the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array could no longer unleash its full power, which meant that it was now only left with the function of trapping Qin Chen and the others. How could such a terrifying scene happen? This was an array left behind by a peerless great emperor and it had killed more than one Great God-realm existence! It was notorious and countless Great Gods knew of its terrifying power. But now, its effects were broken by a human Supreme Sage! Even though the other party was still far from breaking the array, for him to be able to withstand the power of the array and even absorb it all, the black stone golem was beyond shocked! He looked at the Century Array Disk in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. After all the power of the array had been absorbed, the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array immediately had a problem with its operation and became chaotic. In an instant, he could no longer see what was happening in the array. In other words, a backlash had appeared in the array. Some parts of the array¡¯s foundation had been shaken. This was already enough to awe everyone. To think at this moment, such a change had appeared in such a terrifying array just because of Qin Chen, a level 7 Supreme Sage-realm cultivator! How could one not be amazed by this? If the news spread, many Great Gods would probably be in disbelief. Now, such a scene had truly happened. The black stone golem was simply dumbfounded when he saw this scene. How could this be? He couldn¡¯t figure out what the Century Array Disk in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was. How could it store such a large amount of array power? The big scorpion¡¯s eyes shone. The item in the Elder King¡¯s hands was a treasure. At the same time, Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian walked to Qin Chen¡¯s side and looked at the Century Array Disk in his hand. Qin Chen laughed and said, ¡°Next, we can try to break this array.¡± At this moment, the Century Array Disk had already absorbed all the power of the array. In other words, no array power could cause them any harm now. The array was currently in an unactivated state. They could take advantage of this opportunity to try and find the weakest point in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array as a breakthrough point to break the array. If the power of the array appeared again, Qin Chen could devour it two more times. Although two chances were not much, it gave them a glimmer of hope to escape. Perhaps, they would be able to find the weakest part of the array and use the extreme emperor weapons left behind by the ancient great emperors to break it. Thinking of this, Qin Chen asked Holy Maiden Mu Xue to stop activating the white jade celestial bell and recover her strength first. He then gave the remaining Heavenly God Spring to her. Otherwise, if they were to deal with an unexpected situation later and she didn¡¯t have the strength to activate the white jade celestial bell, everyone would be equivalent to dead. Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at Qin Chen with a strange light in her eyes. This level 7 Supreme Sage-realm cultivator had brought her many surprises. Then, she took the Heavenly God Spring and started to refine it to recover her strength. Meanwhile, Qin Chen and the rest looked for a breakthrough point in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. They searched for the weak points of the array, but the array was like a piece of iron that couldn¡¯t be broken through. Every part of the array was equally powerful. All kinds of complicated array Dao patterns overlapped to form such a peerless array. Perhaps he could try with his spiritual power. At the thought of this, Qin Chen released his God-realm spiritual power and searched for the weakest point in the array with the others. The Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was a hundred miles long. How could they find the weakest point of such a huge peerless array? That point might be very small, or even the size of a needle¡¯s eye. And now, they had to find it in this hundred-mile array. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but they had no choice. The only thing they could do now was look for it. Generally speaking, there had to be an array core in every array. As long as they broke the array core, they could break the array. However, they simply couldn¡¯t find it. This was the terrifying part of the peerless great array. It was indeed worthy of being called the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. Now, they could only search for the weakest part of the array and blast it open. This was the only way they could escape from the array. Otherwise, by the time Qin Chen used up the remaining two chances of the Century Array Disk to devour the array power, they might very well be trapped here forever. In the end, when their strength was exhausted, they would all be killed by the power of this terrifying array. ¡°You can¡¯t escape!¡± The black stone golem knew that even Great Gods would die in the array. Chapter 361 - 361 Yang Array 361 Yang Array However, the black stone golem still had one last move, and that was to activate the most terrifying array within the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. The Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array was divided into yin and yang. The yin array alone was enough to kill a Great God-realm expert. If the yang array was activated, its power would be even more terrifying such that even an extreme emperor weapon might not be able to withstand it. Now, the black stone golem could no longer see what was happening in the array, but he could deduce that there must have been some changes inside, and it was very likely that his plan would fail. Therefore, he chose to activate the yang array with the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. What was so terrifying about the yang array of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array? The black stone golem didn¡¯t know. He only knew that if he himself was trapped inside, he would probably die in the end. Right now, Qin Chen and the rest were still searching for the weakest spot in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. Unfortunately, there were many array powers within the array, which were intertwined with the complicated Dao patterns of the array, stopping them from finding their target quickly. Every inch of the array seemed to be of equal strength, and there was no weak spot at all. If they could not find it in the end, Qin Chen and the others could only try to tear the array apart with their extreme emperor weapons. However, that might not be plausible, because they knew that the terrifying array left behind by the peerless great emperor was definitely not so easy to break. That was just the last resort. If their fruitless search continued, it would be too late, because a lot of the array power had started to slowly spread out again. The black shadows were also wandering over like a tide once more. Qin Chen and the others held their extreme emperor weapons and were searching frantically. Where exactly was the weakest spot? There must be a flaw in this peerless array. Where was the weakest point? Qin Chen closed his eyes. In a daze, he felt as if his consciousness had become one with the array. He could feel a mysterious aura. The Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had four corners, two of which were stronger and two weaker, complementing each other. Now, he only felt the fluctuations from the two weakest spots. Could it be that the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had not been truly activated? Thinking of this, his heart fell to the bottom of his stomach. What should he do? If the other two corners of the array were activated as well, what kind of terrifying calamity would they face? At that time, the chances of survival within the array would most definitely be zero. Even a Great God would not be able to escape. By then, only an ancient great emperor would have a chance to break out of the array. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to sense his surroundings. He felt that his current state was wonderful. It was as if his mind was wandering in the sky as he gradually integrated with the array. Many places in the array were covered in array Dao patterns that seemed to form pictures. A picture of a vermilion bird, a white tiger, a green dragon, and a black tortoise appeared in front of Qin Chen one after another. He originally thought that there would only be a picture of a vermilion bird, but he did not expect that the array was related to four divine beasts. The array was formed by the divine beast totems that were connected to the array, providing it with energy. In other words, the Dao patterns of the totems in these four directions were where the array cores were! Generally speaking, an array would only have one array core. Yet, to think this Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had four array cores. How could Qin Chen not be shocked? But now, even if he knew where the array cores were, he could not break them and escape. This was because the array seemed to have exploded with energy again. Qin Chen could feel that the aura of the array had changed in an instant. A terrifying pressure was suddenly released, causing him to be shocked. He quickly said to the crowd, ¡°Not good! The array seems to have been activated again!¡± Everyone immediately retreated to Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s side. She had already recovered some of her energy. She immediately poured energy into the white jade celestial bell and activated it. In an instant, the white jade celestial bell transformed into a huge bell that enveloped everyone. Before the white jade celestial bell could unleash its emperor¡¯s might, an even more terrifying pressure pressed down and bombarded the white jade celestial bell. With that, a terrifying sound burst out from the white jade celestial bell as if it had been ruthlessly hit! Qin Chen and the others did not know what had rendered these changes, but they were sure that the real show had just begun! Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He recalled that in his previous state, he had seen four different spots. Two were activated but had weaker fluctuations. Now that the array had suddenly exploded with more energy, could it be that the two stronger spots had been activated? Yin and yang. This meant that they were facing the most powerful array. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt like he was about to suffocate. He felt powerless in front of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. When the terrifying array power bombarded the white jade celestial bell, Qin Chen immediately took out the Century Array Disk. In an instant, the array disk in his hand turned into a black-and-white vortex that grew larger and larger. It absorbed all the power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array and swallowed it. Unfortunately, this could only be maintained for a short period because Qin Chen knew that the array would be activated again soon. By then, they would be in real danger. This was because he only had one last chance to devour the array power. He had to find a breakthrough point as soon as possible and break the array. Even if they couldn¡¯t break it, they had to find a way to resolve it. Otherwise, they would be facing the threat of death. The black stone golem roared with laughter in the outside world. He had just activated the yang array of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. This could be considered the most terrifying killing tribulation. Even Great God-realm experts had never left alive from such an attack before. At this moment, the yin array had already stopped operating. In its place was the even more terrifying yang array. The black stone golem believed that Qin Chen and the others would definitely die. He immediately laughed, ¡°Master¡¯s killing trap is indeed terrifying. He has used the ancients as a chessboard to play a heaven-defying game of chess against all living beings!¡± Qin Chen and the others, who were in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, could feel the immense pressure. Even Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian were extremely solemn. They quickly searched for a spot in the array that they could break. They didn¡¯t have many chances left. They might face death the next time, so they had to cherish every minute and second. The black stone golem laughed, ¡°Killing you is like stepping on ants!¡± Chapter 362 - 362 The Eye of the Array Core 362 The Eye of the Array Core What the hell should they do to break the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array? Although the power of the array had been devoured by the Century Array Disk now, Qin Chen and the others only had one last chance. They were only left with one chance to devour the array power of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. In other words, the yang array had now been activated. The terror that came with the activation of the yang array was not something they could handle. Even with extreme emperor weapons, they might die in the array. At the thought of this, everyone could not help but feel anxious. How could they escape? This array was simply too terrifying. As expected of an array that even the weapons left behind by ancient great emperors couldn¡¯t fight against. It seemed that the rumors about the peerless great emperor having the means to kill ancient great emperors were not baseless. How difficult would it be for Qin Chen and the others to want to break it now? Qin Chen immediately entered that mysterious state again. He felt that he had once again merged with the array and he seemed to see the divine beasts roaring at him from four directions. This also meant that the most terrifying yang array had already been activated. Two divine beasts in two directions were not moving, which meant that the yin array had stopped operating. Currently, it was extremely difficult for Qin Chen and the others to break the array because they did not know how. There were too many overlapping array patterns in the array, and it would usually take a long time to decipher them. Even with the extreme emperor weapons, it would take at least ten days to half a month. But now, there wasn¡¯t much time left. They wouldn¡¯t even be able to last a day. In other words, if they didn¡¯t make it, they would immediately die. The big scorpion could not help but start to worry. He kept looking around, trying to see if he could find a spot to break. Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan did not stay idle either. They were also constantly searching. Whitey didn¡¯t know how to find the weak spots, so it could only use the fists of its Great God-realm body to bombard the array, but it was useless. Even if it attacked the array with its Great God-realm body, it didn¡¯t work. This was because this array had already isolated heaven and earth, forming a small world of its own. In other words, this was equivalent to another world. It was a pity that they couldn¡¯t break it. This array was simply impregnable and also filled with terrifying killing intent. It was extremely difficult for Qin Chen to defend against the attacks and break the array all at the same time. At this moment, Qin Chen saw the divine beasts roaring at him from four directions. The divine beast totems in these four directions had been passed down to the present world since the primordial era. It would not be easy to find a way to break them. Qin Chen immediately looked around, looking for a method to break the array. However, he did not expect the array to already start operating again! With that, countless terrifying array powers started to surge over once more. The terrifying pressure deeply shocked everyone, and they immediately returned to Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s side. Holy Maiden Mu Xue quickly used the white jade celestial bell to cover everyone. However, if this continued, she wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. Even if she was a Great God, her energy would be depleted very quickly. The yang array¡¯s attack was far more terrifying than the yin array. Defending against the attacks of this peerless array consumed an astronomical amount of energy. One Great God alone couldn¡¯t hold on at all. She could at most hold on for a while. In other words, Qin Chen and the others were almost out of options and were in danger. The big scorpion said, ¡°Elder King, why don¡¯t we try one last time? If we really don¡¯t have a choice, we can just bombard a spot with all our extreme emperor weapons and tear a hole in it. Perhaps we can escape then.¡± Qin Chen nodded. That was the last resort. Unfortunately, although he knew that the success rate of such a method was unbelievably low, he could only try. Before drowning, one had to try to grab the last straw. Their only hope now was to use the combined power of all the extreme emperor weapons to break the array. One could only imagine how terrifying the attacks within the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array were! At this moment, two terrifying shadows suddenly appeared in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. They were the figures of two divine beasts! It was the green dragon and the white tiger that were emitting a terrifying aura. They seemed to be totems who have crossed the long river of history from the primordial era. At this moment, a terrifying power erupted within the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, trying to kill Qin Chen and the others. Holy Maiden Mu Xue immediately felt great pressure as she poured the energy in her body into the white jade celestial bell. For a moment, Qin Chen was at a loss for what to do. The appearance of these two terrifying divine beast phantoms had already explained their peril. They were really in danger! Qin Chen immediately looked at the array. According to the four array cores he had seen, two of them were where the green dragon and white tiger phantoms had appeared. However, how should he break the array cores in these two directions? Another problem was that they couldn¡¯t even break the array, so how could they destroy the array cores? At this critical moment, the two divine beasts¡¯ phantoms brought with them a terrifying aura as their might shattered the void, coming over like they wanted to tear the white jade celestial bell apart! The two divine beast phantoms suddenly burst out with endless power, bringing with them a terrifying attack that bombarded the white jade celestial bell and a terrifyingly deafening Dao sound seemed to chime. Although the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array could isolate the connection between the array and Heaven and Earth, forming an independent small array, the array power could no longer withstand the vibrations of the Dao sounds now. The black stone golem was in shock. He didn¡¯t expect that even the array couldn¡¯t withstand the chimes of the white jade celestial bell. Even he felt pressured by the terrifying Dao sound! He could only block it as best he could. Qin Chen was ready to break the array. At that moment, he had found the eye of the four array cores! The eye of the array cores was the most crucial part of the construction of an array. Right now, this core was right above their heads! In other words, as long as the array core in the sky was destroyed, this array would stop working. Thinking of this possibility, Qin Chen told everyone about his idea. Chapter 363 - 363 Breaking the Array 363 Breaking the Array Everyone was also shocked. They didn¡¯t expect there to be an array core above their heads. However, this array core was illusionary. In a sense, it didn¡¯t exist because it was already very strange for one array to have four array cores. The so-called eye of a core or an array core¡¯s eye was simply a spot that overlapped and was contradictory. That was because the power of four array cores had been stacked on that one spot, making it incomparably powerful and also unbelievably chaotic. As long as Qin Chen and the rest could destroy the eye of the core, the array should stop. At the same time, the four array cores would also be affected. At that moment, they would have the chance to escape from this terrifying array. At the thought of this, Qin Chen looked at the crowd. They knew that they should take this opportunity to attack. However, making a move on the array core above their heads was obviously risky, and there was a possibility that some of them would die. After all, those two terrifying divine beast phantoms were not for show. It was very likely that they would kill them. Therefore, it ultimately depended on whether everyone was willing or not. In the end, they still chose to believe in Qin Chen and immediately said, ¡°Elder King! Let¡¯s do it!¡± At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue could not hold on any longer. Seeing everyone flying toward the space above, she immediately opened a gap in the white jade celestial bell, allowing Qin Chen and the others to leave. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand. Behind him, Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian wielded the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod respectively to unleash the terrifying emperor¡¯s might. The power of the three extreme emperor weapons was so terrifying that they could even resist the pressure from the two divine beasts. Although they managed to withstand the pressure of the two divine beasts, there was still the terrifying power of the array, which was extremely difficult to resist. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less anymore. He asked Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian to finish making their moves, then quickly protect themselves. He would deliver the final attack. Although Holy Maiden Mu Xue had consumed a lot of energy, she had been paying attention to Qin Chen. There was a black palm print on the latter¡¯s wrist. As long as his divine power was exhausted, she would provide him with divine power. This was also the reason why Qin Chen had chosen to attack last. After all, if Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan unleashed their strongest attacks now, they would not be able to withstand the attacks of the two divine beasts and the array power later on. With that, Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan both roared and unleashed their God-realm auras as they activated the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword and divine iron rod. Both of them were now in the God realm, and after their breakthrough, their ability to control extreme emperor weapons had become even stronger! The terrifying emperor¡¯s might spread out and rushed toward the array core above their heads with endless divine light. Immediately, a loud boom rang out and the entire array trembled! The eye of the array core did not seem to be damaged, but Qin Chen could sense that there was a slight change in it. It was this slight change that made him realize that he might be able to break the array if he were to make the last attack! He charged forward! The innate sword embryo in his hand drained all the divine power in his body, but the black palm print on his hand soon lit up. A dark light flashed, and the divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body was quickly recovering. He continued to crazily pour it into the innate sword embryo. With that, the innate sword embryo burst out with dazzling light, and a terrifying emperor¡¯s might was released from the tip of the sword as if it was going to penetrate through millions of stars. It was as if the power of an ancient great emperor had reappeared in the world! The void shattered in layers, and the eye of the array core¡¯s operation became chaotic. Seizing this opportunity, Qin Chen slashed out the innate sword embryo! The terrifying sword instantly struck the array core above his head. The four array cores began to spin chaotically. The overlapping part of the four array cores in the eye was already on the verge of collapse. Following this, a terrifying explosion occurred, blasting Qin Chen away and sending him slamming into the bell. Holy Maiden Mu Xue quickly opened up a gap to let Qin Chen in and catch him. Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian also came down and entered through the gap. Then in an instant, Holy Maiden Mu Xue sealed the white jade celestial bell, maintaining the bell¡¯s operation with great difficulty. The phantoms of the green dragon and white tiger divine beast totems began to become unstable at this moment and seemed to be dissipating. Yuji hurried over. She couldn¡¯t help but worry when she saw Qin Chen who was lying in Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s arms. The explosion just now was truly terrifying. Even if he had the Chaotic Divine Body, he might not be able to hold on. Qin Chen still managed to smile with difficulty, though he wondered how many bones in his body had been broken, and how many meridians were damaged. He coughed out blood and slowly said, ¡°It¡¯s a success.¡± The array was torn apart, and a crack appeared. Prince Zhan quickly carried Qin Chen on his back. None of them dared to stay any longer. They had to leave the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they were to be trapped in it again, they would really die. They would not have another chance to leave. The shockwaves from the terrifying battle caused the black stone golem who was in the outside world to feel bewildered. How was this possible? What had happened to cause the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array to tremble so violently? Could it be that an extreme emperor weapon had been destroyed there? While he was still in shock, he saw a crack appear on the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. A terrifying aura was emitted from the crack, and countless astonishing array powers spurted out! The black stone golem immediately retreated a thousand miles away. When he looked again, he saw several figures flying out of the crack in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. How was that possible? How could they escape from the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array? This was a trap set up by his master! This was a peerless array! To think the array that had once slaughtered even the Great Gods had now been broken! How could he accept this? The black stone golem had thought that Qin Chen and the others were dead for sure. But now, it seemed that the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array had been broken. After coming out, Holy Maiden Mu Xue was extremely furious, and her beautiful eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent! She immediately locked onto the black stone golem. The latter was naturally not afraid, as the other party was at most in the same realm as him. Chapter 364 - 364 Dew Essence Pill 364 Dew Essence Pill But now, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had the extreme emperor weapon, the white jade celestial bell, in her hands. How could she not be the black stone golem¡¯s opponent? Even though she had used up a lot of her divine power, she was still confident that she could kill the other party. With that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue took a step forward, tearing the void and rushing over. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and the white jade celestial bell in her hand emitted the sound of the Great Path as it crashed toward the black stone golem! The black stone golem was scared out of his wits and immediately wanted to escape! Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. She vowed to make those who dared to hurt Qin Chen pay the price! The black stone golem was terrified and tried to run away. He could tell that he was no match for the Holy Maiden Mu Xue who now had an extreme emperor weapon. If the other party killed him with the extreme Emperor weapon, he would suffer a great loss. Thinking of this, the black stone golem quickly slipped away. However, before he could escape, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already appeared in front of him. The white jade celestial bell in her hand burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, suppressing him. Then, Holy Maiden Mu Xue raised her hand and slammed the bell onto the black stone golem. With just one hit, the black stone golem¡¯s body was smashed into pieces. The black stone golem let out a blood-curdling screech, and his soul turned into a black shadow, disappearing from her sight. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was holding the white jade celestial bell, could not catch up with the black shadow. It was very likely that that was the black stone golem¡¯s primordial spirit. Unfortunately, it had escaped. At that moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue heard a voice in her ears. It was the black stone golem using his primordial spirit to send her a message telepathically, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll personally take revenge. All of you will die! Die!¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue didn¡¯t dare to pursue him anymore. She had to check on Qin Chen as he was on the verge of death. She could sense his condition through the black palm print that his body was under critical condition. She had to make sure that he could survive. With that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue returned to the planet where everyone was. This ancient planet was the closest one to the array that they had just left. There were some powerful cosmic races on this ancient planet, but the strongest among them was only in the Supreme Sage realm. It seemed that they had been struggling for survival on this ancient planet for many years. No one was in the mood to do anything to them right now. They just wanted Qin Chen to recover as soon as possible. They knew that he was most likely in critical condition now as blood was flowing out of many parts of his body. Even the powerful Chaotic Divine Body could not withstand the impact of the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array breaking. Countless bones in Qin Chen¡¯s body were broken, and his meridians were even ruptured and bleeding. At this moment, he could not hold on any longer. In a daze, he seemed to feel that he could not breathe, and the scene in front of him began to turn blurry. [Ding dong!] [A weak divinity remain has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in?] [Note: You can check in once at this place!] Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to check in on this ancient planet. He wondered if he would obtain anything that could save his life after checking in. In his heart, Qin Chen muttered, ¡°Check in.¡± [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you have checked in at the Thousand Demon Tree. You have obtained the ¡°Dew Essence Pill¡±!] [Dew Essence Pill: A one-time-use item. It is formed from the precious essence of the Thousand Demon Tree and has an incredible effect of healing the dead!] Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less. God knows where the Thousand Demon Tree was on this ancient planet. He immediately took out the Dew Essence Pill and used the last bit of strength in his body to flick the pill into his mouth, swallowing it in an instant. With that, a terrifying life force healed Qin Chen¡¯s injuries. After a while, his body began to recover, and the wounds on the surface of his body began to scab and peel off. The broken meridians in his body also began to heal and become stronger than before. In his heart, a ball of green light appeared. It was full of vitality and was constantly healing Qin Chen¡¯s bones, restoring them. At this point, Holy Maiden Mu Xue returned. Then, everyone watched as Qin Chen miraculously recovered in an instant. Yuji kept feeding Qin Chen her Heavenly God Spring, wishing that she could make him drink it all in one go. Qin Chen opened his mouth and swallowed a lot of it. With the help of the Heavenly God Spring¡¯s medicinal power, he managed to save his life from the gates of hell. He was truly inches away from death. Seeing that Qin Chen was gradually recovering, no words could describe the crowd¡¯s emotions as their moods lifted. This time, it was all thanks to Qin Chen. If it wasn¡¯t for him, they might have been trapped to death in the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array. Thinking of this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue walked to Qin Chen¡¯s side and glanced at him. She grabbed his wrist, and the black palm print on Qin Chen¡¯s hand disappeared with a flash of black light. In other words, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had taken back the black palm print on his hand and dissolved it. Qin Chen did not like the existence of the black palm print, so Holy Maiden Mu Xue removed it. By the time Qin Chen had completely recovered, he felt that his body had become much stronger. However, what surprised him the most was that the green energy in his heart had not dissipated yet. Instead, it was still supplying him with blood energy. In other words, if he were to encounter some injuries the next time, this green energy would allow him to quickly recover. Although he didn¡¯t know how long the green energy would last, it was an unexpected benefit. When Qin Chen heard that Holy Maiden Mu Xue had killed the black stone golem, but the latter¡¯s primordial spirit had escaped, he was slightly regretful, but he did not show it. Instead, he turned to Holy Maiden Mu Xue and said, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that you avenged me. Otherwise, that black stone golem might have escaped again.¡± Now, the black stone golem no longer had a body. He was only left with a primordial spirit that could not pose any threat to Qin Chen and the others. But at this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue suddenly said, ¡°I have a feeling that he will definitely return.¡± Chapter 365 - 365 Pray 365 Pray Holy Maiden Mu Xue was so sure because she knew that the black stone golem¡¯s origin wasn¡¯t simple. After all, the other party had been able to survive on the Killing Tribulation Planet for countless years, so he must have his means. Moreover, his background was also extraordinary. His master gave off a sense of danger, which made Holy Maiden Mu Xue quite fearful. She had a feeling that the black stone golem would definitely take revenge. It was only a matter of time. Although his physical body had been destroyed, she was certain that the other party would not let this matter rest. As long as he had enough confidence to take revenge, he would appear at the first moment. Qin Chen did not care how much of a threat the black stone golem could potentially bring him. The other party was now but a primordial spirit with a destroyed physical body. What was there to fear? Thinking of this, Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°If that black stone golem dares to come again, I will make sure not even his primordial spirit can escape.¡± After Qin Chen had recovered, everyone decided to leave and return to the ten lands. They wondered how the ten lands were doing after being gone for so long. Qin Chen also wondered how his friends in the Taiyi Holy Land were doing, so he had to go back and take a look. He had brought the innate sword embryo with him, so the Taiyi Holy Land was without an extreme emperor weapon. The Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword was also here, so the deterrence of the human race was greatly reduced. God knows if some rascals would be playing tricks behind the scenes. Thinking of this, everyone decided to go back. With that, Qin Chen tore the space apart and brought everyone to space jump, crossing the void. They teleported in the cosmic non-stop for days and nights but only covered half of the distance. Currently, it had already been a month. One could imagine how far away Qin Chen and the others were from the ten lands. If the star field hadn¡¯t changed, they would have long been back. But now, the star field had changed. As such, if they wanted to return, the journey was still long and far. As they continued to teleport, they encountered some experts from the powerful cosmic races who wanted to take advantage of them. Those people did not expect that Whitey had a Great God¡¯s body. Its terrifying combat strength directly destroyed the other party. Just like that, time passed very quickly. Qin Chen and the others never stopped teleporting through the cosmic and rushing back. It took them a long time to finally reach the ten lands. At this point, there had been many huge battles in the ten lands. The root cause was that the various races of the ten thousand ancient races wanted to take advantage of the fact that the human race¡¯s deterrence had been greatly reduced to overthrow the human race. Many races joined forces to launch a destructive attack on the human race. If they were successful, even if Qin Chen and the others returned, by then it would be of no use. Fortunately, other than the innate sword embryo and the Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, the human race had a few other extreme emperor weapons, allowing them to survive the battle and fight to the end. It wasn¡¯t just countless experts and races of the ten thousand ancient races that had been annihilated, the human race also suffered great losses. Many factions, like the Holy Lands and imperial dynasties that didn¡¯t have extreme emperor weapons, had been annihilated and fell apart. God knows how many humans had died. At the same time, the experts of the powerful cosmic races also took advantage of the chaos. They would hunt human cultivators and experts of the ten thousand ancient races to obtain opportunities and treasures to strengthen themselves. Everyone hoped to become stronger because the opportunity to become an emperor was simply too tempting. Almost everyone wanted to become an emperor, but it was destined to be very difficult. Countless experts had already fallen. If it was in the past, those people would have been experts who could rule a region. Unfortunately, they had now turned to dust and died in the ten lands. Blood flowed everywhere, and it was a common sight. Many experts were already prepared to go into seclusion and leave the ten lands to hide in the cosmic. If not, the ten lands would definitely become a killing ground. If this continued, it might affect their safety. Now, the Taiyi Holy Land was being attacked. The Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Xuan, was extremely furious. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was in an extreme state of madness. This was because many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had died in the war while some others had come to attack the Taiyi Holy Land again. In the lead of those attacking the Taiyi Holy Land were the infamous sky dragon race and black wing race of the ten thousand ancient races. The sky dragon race was not considered a pure dragon race. There was quite a big gap between them and the true dragons as they only had a sliver of the true dragon¡¯s bloodline. There was a certain chance that they could molt and become true dragons, but unfortunately, this atavism was almost non-existent, so they gave themselves the name of the sky dragon race. Of course, the true dragon race looked down on them, but the former couldn¡¯t be bothered to kill the latter, which allowed the sky dragon race to continue to grow. On the other hand, the black wing race had once been terrifying in the primordial era, and they were born to be bloodthirsty. They did not look too different from a human, except for a pair of wings on their backs. They could cultivate almost all the cultivation techniques that the human race cultivated, and as a result, they produced quite several experts. This was because they had killed countless human experts as soon as the great war had begun and had plundered all of the latter¡¯s supernormal knowledge and cultivation techniques. With this, they improved the cultivation of some of their weaker clansmen. At this moment, many experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were fighting madly. They did not know how long this war would last, but they were sure that as long as the Elder King returned, they would be able to take revenge. At the same time, a few Ancient Sages in the Great Qin Dynasty had appeared to defend against the attacks of the countless experts that came attacking. They were too busy taking care of themselves to go to the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s aid. After all, the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword, the only extreme emperor weapon they had, had been taken away by Supreme Sage Qin Tian. Now, Supreme Sage Qin Tian had not returned and no one knew where he was. Therefore, they could only struggle to hold on. That being said, compared to the Taiyi Holy Land, the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s situation was much better. Furthermore, the Imperial Lord could use the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s power of faith to unleash power comparable to extreme emperor weapons and kill God-realm experts, so they were under less pressure than the Taiyi Holy Land. As such, not many God-realm experts dared to target the Great Qin Dynasty. ¡°Elder King, when will you be back?¡± At this moment, many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were praying. They had experienced too many battles and too much humiliation. Chapter 366 - 366 Chaotic Ten Lands 366 Chaotic Ten Lands Many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were grieved for the deaths of many of their friends, relatives, and fellow senior and junior brothers. They could only hope that the Elder King would return soon and take revenge for them. Right now, Qin Chen and the rest were still hurrying back from the star field. On the way back, they encountered some experts from the powerful cosmic races. From these people, they learned a lot of information. For example, the ten lands were now in chaos and countless wars had broken out. There were wars between the human race, the ten thousand ancient races, and some other powerful cosmic races, resulting in the deaths of many experts. In the days of Qin Chen¡¯s absence, the pressure on the human race increased in folds. Many were dying at every moment. Thinking of this, Qin Chen became anxious. He didn¡¯t know what state the Taiyi Holy Land had fallen to. He had to go back and take a look although it was a little too late now. A human race cultivator who had just escaped from the cosmic was being hunted down by a powerful cosmic race who wanted the treasures of the human cultivator. The human cultivator soon ran into Qin Chen and the others, who then saved the former. Qin Chen only found out about the news regarding the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s predicament from the human cultivator, and his eyes were filled with anger. He didn¡¯t expect that so many experts couldn¡¯t hold their lust back and started a war so quickly. Those people only had one goal, and that was to fight for the opportunity to become an emperor in this era. However, how could the opportunity to become an emperor be so easy to obtain? it was destined that many experts and geniuses would die. In the past, they had all been one in a million geniuses, but now they could only keep fighting until they were killed by stronger experts. Naturally, Supreme Sage Qin Tian was also extremely anxious. However, it was a pity that they could only be so fast. There was no way for them to speed up any further. Qin Chen rushed with all his might, wanting to bring everyone back as soon as possible. Prince Zhan¡¯s success in becoming a God-realm expert was definitely thanks to Qin Chen, so whatever the latter wanted to do, he would support him. Now that they had four extreme emperor weapons, as long as they could make it back, they would be able to turn the tables for the human race. Right now, Qin Chen was rushing towards the ten lands. Soon, they saw a terrifying fluctuation coming from the front. A great battle was ongoing. Qin Chen did not expect that the battle had already extended to the starry sky. The person fighting was an expert from the human race. He was an Ancient Sage who had broken out of self-sealing in the divine source. He had not expected to be surrounded by so many experts from the ten thousand ancient races. Helplessly, he could only fight while escaping until he arrived in the starry sky. Seeing this, Qin Chen made a decisive move. In a flash, he broke the neck of a Supreme Sage. The Supreme Sage had not even reacted as to how Qin Chen had appeared beside him before he was dead. Even his primordial spirit had been annihilated by the latter¡¯s spiritual power. In an instant, these experts looked at Qin Chen. They were shocked to see that it was the Elder King of the human race. They had seen the Elder King of the human race before. They could recognize him even if he turned into ashes. They had not expected the human race¡¯s Elder King to return at this time. It was a pity that the war had not ended yet. Otherwise, the human race could¡¯ve been annihilated. The currently present experts of the ten thousand ancient races were all Supreme Sages. When they saw Qin Chen, they immediately wanted to escape. Qin Chen¡¯s face was filled with killing intent. He ordered Whitey, ¡°Kill them.¡± Naturally, Whitey made a move immediately and the void instantly shattered. Its Great God¡¯s body tore the void apart and appeared beside the Supreme Sages in an instant. Then, it threw a punch. In an instant, it blew up one of them. Then, it casually slapped out a palm and blew up another. Soon, all the Supreme Sages were killed. These Supreme Sages of the ten thousand ancient races had never thought that they would die at the hands of the Elder King. The human Ancient Sage who had been rescued cupped his hands at Qin Chen. He had naturally heard of the human Elder King¡¯s name. It seemed that the other party was truly unfathomable. Just Whitey alone was enough to make him feel great pressure. Whitey looked at Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately shook his head. It was normal for the human Ancient Sage to have escaped. After all, many experts had already fallen. He simply did not want to die. Besides, with so many Supreme Sages surrounding him, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to live for long without Qin Chen¡¯s arrival. Now that he was saved by Qin Chen, the human Ancient Sage was extremely grateful. When he looked at the many experts around Qin Chen and saw that even Supreme Sage Qin Tian and Prince Zhan had entered the God realm, he was already shocked beyond words. Qin Chen slowly asked, ¡°How is the Taiyi Holy Land now? And the Great Qin Dynasty?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid the Taiyi Holy Land can¡¯t hold on any longer. Two of the ten thousand ancient races are targeting the Taiyi Holy Land and trying to destroy it,¡± The Ancient Sage revealed everything he had seen and heard, ¡°The Great Qin Dynasty is also surrounded by many powerful experts. They do not dare to take the initiative to attack and can only hold on.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was furious. He instantly tore the void apart and move forward with everyone else at full speed. He used all his strength to cross the void continuously, wanting to reach the Taiyi Holy Land as soon as possible and see what it had become. At this moment, only the human Ancient Sage was left in the starry sky. Watching as Qin Chen charged into the ten lands, he sighed. With the Elder King¡¯s arrival, the situation of the ten lands would probably be reversed. With the experts around Qin Chen and their extreme emperor weapons, the human race could probably last longer. Now that the war had broken out, all the factions were already red-eyed with killing, and countless experts died every day. The Ancient Sage couldn¡¯t help but sigh in emotion. However, in the end, he still chose to leave. The ten lands had become extremely dangerous. Even an Ancient Sage like him might die there. Therefore, he continued to head to the cosmic to hide and live in seclusion. It didn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to reach the vicinity of the ten lands. Many battles were ongoing, but Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less. The experts who were fighting were shocked. They seemed to have sensed the appearance of several terrifying auras. Who were they? Chapter 367 - 367 Breaking the Siege 367 Breaking the Siege Before they could see the appearance of Qin Chen and the others, the latter had already torn open the void and left, crossing the void again. At this point, countless battles, huge and small, had already broken out in the Taiyi Holy Land, causing great losses. Fortunately, no high-ranking officials of the Taiyi Holy Land had died yet. At this moment, Lu Feng, the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, was extremely indignant. He didn¡¯t want the Taiyi Holy Land to end in his hands just like that. This was the foundation left behind by their ancestors. If it was destroyed in his hands, even if he died, he would not be able to make the ancestors forgive him in the underworld. Lu Feng decided to take the initiative and break out of the encirclement of the two races and bring away as many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land as he could. As long as the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were still alive, they could rise again. If they continued to maintain the stalemate, it was possible that the Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed instead. When Lu Feng had this idea, many of the higher-ups supported him. They also knew that it was meaningless to fight to the death here because God knows when the Elder King would return. Even if the Elder King did return, they would probably be dead by then. Countless experts of the ten thousand ancient races were clamoring at the gates of the Taiyi Holy Land, trying to break through the array. The array protecting the Taiyi Holy Land was an incomplete ancient array, set up by the big black pot back then with a few emperor array¡¯s array patterns. With the array patterns of the Emperor array, the experts of the ten thousand ancient races would not be able to break through it in a short time. They could only continuously wear it down, wanting to make the array collapse as soon as possible so that they could fight against the disciples of the Holy Land. The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were the Elder King¡¯s weak spot. The ten thousand ancient races all viewed the Elder King with enmity. After all, he was simply too arrogant. If they destroyed the Elder King¡¯s friends and family, and even his sect, it would definitely make him devastated. This would be the best way to take revenge on the Elder King. Even if the Elder King returned¡­ So what? The dead cannot be resurrected. The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land would¡¯ve long been dead by then. At that time, the Elder King would only be left with endless grief. Thinking of this, the experts of the ten thousand ancient races were extremely excited. The sky dragon race and the black wing race, who had come to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land this time, didn¡¯t send all their experts. They only sent a small number of them. The rest of the experts had already scattered to attack other human factions, trying to inflict as much damage as possible on the human factions. The ten thousand ancient races¡¯ main focus now was to destroy all the Holy Lands, dynasties, and families of the human race. As long as they could destroy the factions with the most experts, it would be easy for them to trample the human race and restore the glory of the ten thousand ancient races in the primordial era. ¡°Are the humans of the Taiyi Holy Land all cowards?¡± ¡°You¡¯re hiding in your turtle shell every day. Don¡¯t tell me you think you can avoid death like this?¡± ¡°You can hide for now, but you can¡¯t hide forever. You¡¯d better come out quickly and let us give you a quick death!¡± Many experts were clamoring. According to their calculations, it wouldn¡¯t take long for them to break the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s sect-protecting array. In a few days at most, they should be able to see the results. At that time, with all the experts working together, did they still have to be worried about not being able to break this turtle shell? As long as they could break the array, they believed that destroying the Taiyi Holy Land should be a piece of cake with the strength of two great races among the ten thousand ancient races. The most important thing was that the Taiyi Holy Land now only had a few old experts and some talented disciples who had yet to fully develop. This caused the Taiyi Holy Land to be in a situation of expert shortage. This was why the sky dragon race and the black wing race were so sure that they could destroy the Taiyi Holy Land. Seeing this, many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had eyes red from anger. Their bodies were filled with rage, and they wanted nothing more than to kill all of the experts from the sky dragon race and black wing race. Unfortunately, they did not have the strength to do so. After all, the number of experts on the other side was far greater than that of the Taiyi Holy Land. As long as the other party fought steadily and followed their plan step by step, the Taiyi Holy Land would eventually be destroyed. Before this, many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had already died in battle. Their bodies were hung and tied to wooden poles. The sky dragon race and black wing race¡¯s experts used this to provoke the cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land. They wanted to make the latter come out of the array on their own to be destroyed in the end. If the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land went out now, they would only waste their lives. Looking at the bodies hanging outside, the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land gritted their teeth in fury. They were furious, but there was nothing they could do except watch the other party clamoring in front of their gates every day. They also knew that the array wouldn¡¯t last long. When the time came, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would be reduced to ruins. After all, the number of experts from the two ten thousand ancient races was quite considerable. Ever since the ten lands had been in chaos, the ten thousand races had been constantly killing, destroying many Holy Lands and imperial dynasties of the human race, and using all their resources to increase the strength of their clansmen. They were using war to sustain themselves. As a result, the number of experts they had now was much more than before. To the Taiyi Holy Land, it was like the Sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads. They didn¡¯t know when it would fall. Many experts from the Taiyi Holy Land gathered and looked at Lu Xuan. Only Lu Xuan had the right to command them now. After all, the Elder King was not around. Whether it was Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, or other experts from the Taiyi Holy Land, they were all ready to fight these guys. After all, staying here was no different from waiting for death. It would be better to concentrate their powers and see if they could break through the encirclement of the sky dragon race and the black wing race. If they could, some experts could be preserved as the seeds of the Taiyi Holy Land. If there was an opportunity in the future, the Taiyi Holy Land could then be rebuilt when the Elder King returned. In contrast, if they were to wait for their deaths here and wait for the sky dragon race and black wing race to break through the array, they would be doomed. Besides, if they were to break out of the encirclement now, they could catch the two great races off guard and increase their chances of successfully breaking the siege. Everyone nodded at that thought, agreeing to Lu Xuan¡¯s suggestion. Chapter 368 - 368 No Regrets 368 No Regrets They knew that they could not wait any longer. Because even if they did, there would still be no reinforcements. God knows when the Elder King would return. It was possible that he would not be back even after the war ended. Everyone¡¯s heart turned cold. They had no choice but to make this difficult decision. If they stopped the great array and chose to break the siege, many disciples and experts of the Taiyi Holy Land would be killed or injured. The Taiyi Holy Land didn¡¯t have many experts, to begin with. Those who remained were the elite disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, and they were all expected to inherit the heritage of the Taiyi Holy Land. In such a situation, it seemed that only a small number of them could survive by suffering huge casualties. God knows how many of them would die. However, this was the only way for the Taiyi Holy Land to continue. For the continuation of the Holy Land, they had no other choice. Lord Dragon clenched his fists tightly. He was naturally enraged as well and he roared, ¡°When the Elder King returns, he will definitely make the sky dragon race and the black wing race pay with their blood! An eye for an eye!¡± Before the gates of the Taiyi Holy Land, many from the black wing race and sky dragon race cultivators were destroying the corpses of the Holy Land¡¯s disciples who had died in their hands in various humiliating ways. Some who were not completely dead were captured and were inflicted with even more pain, causing them to wail incessantly. Every time they were tortured to the point where they couldn¡¯t take it anymore, the perpetrators would use medicinal pills to treat their injuries, then continue to madly torture these disciples, making them scream in pain. The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were all furious. They roared with anger and wanted to go out and fight with the experts of the two races. At this moment, the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land had already received requests from many disciples who wanted to go out and take revenge. Many of their senior or junior brothers, as well as husbands or wives, were outside, being tortured. They couldn¡¯t just watch them being tortured to death only to have their corpses humiliated too. Some sky dragon race experts even devoured the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. This scene made those alive furious, but there was nothing they could do. The upper echelons of the Holy Land weren¡¯t willing to let these disciples out. After all, even if these disciples left the array, they would only be falling into the trap of the black wing race and the sky dragon race, and would ultimately end up being tortured to death. Yet, to see their fellow senior or junior brothers, husbands or wives, and friends being tortured like this, they simply couldn¡¯t suppress their anger that was about to explode. ¡°You cowards from the Taiyi Holy Land, get out here!¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King is no longer here, and your experts are no match for us. Hurry up and surrender. Perhaps then we can consider keeping some of your experts alive as a form of heritage!¡± ¡°Hand over all your treasures and we might spare your lives!¡± ¡°If you open up this array, we¡¯ll give you a quick death!¡± ¡°Hurry up and come out. Don¡¯t force us to make a move. Otherwise, you will regret your decision!¡± ¡°Do you have the heart to see your people being tortured like this?¡± ¡°What do you think those people were thinking before they died? They were probably wondering why they were the ones who died while the rest of you could stay in there, safely struggling at death¡¯s door. Is it painful? Then hurry up and come out!¡± ¡°Have a fair and square battle with us.¡± The sky dragon race and black wing race experts only dared to be so presumptuous now because Qin Chen wasn¡¯t around. If Qin Chen was still around, how would they dare to approach the Taiyi Holy Land? They would have long been annihilated by Qin Chen the moment such thoughts surfaced. It was a pity that Qin Chen wasn¡¯t here, which gave them the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. This could be considered revenge on the Elder King for the humiliation they had suffered. The ten thousand ancient races hated the human race to the core. They never thought that the day the human race¡¯s Elder King was not around would come. Now, the Taiyi Holy Land had become a treasure at their fingertips. How many resources could a Holy Land have? It was enough to make them extremely excited. Not only would they be able to obtain these resources, but they would also be able to make the human race¡¯s Elder King feel grief and pain. As such, why would they not do something that could kill two birds with one stone? The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were extremely devastated as they witnessed the ongoing tragedies outside. If the human Elder King was still here, the ten thousand ancient races wouldn¡¯t have dared to be so presumptuous! When the human race¡¯s Elder King returned, he would definitely make these beasts pay the price and let them experience what true pain was! At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest were still rushing back. They were tearing space and crossing the void. It was a pity that Lu Xuan and the other higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land had already decided to break out of the encirclement. As long as they could break the siege and preserve the foundation of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Elder King would certainly be able to rebuild the Taiyi Holy Land after his return and pass it on forever. This was the only way now. With that, the order to gather was spread in the sect. All disciples came out of seclusion and rushed over. Some were crying, some were scared, and some were angry. At this moment, all of them had gathered on the back mountain of the sect. All the high-level officials of the Taiyi Holy Land were also there. Lu Feng, the leader, said, ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land is at its most dangerous moment. We can only choose to break the siege of the ten thousand ancient races. In the process of doing so, some of our disciples will definitely die. Even I may die. But for the sake of the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s legacy, we must do so. Even if we have to pay a painful price, we must preserve our foundation. When the Elder King returns, he will definitely be able to rebuild the Taiyi Holy Land. He will return everything that we have suffered to them a hundred times over. All of you must remember the names of those bastards from the ten thousand ancient races. One day, we will wipe them off from the nine Heavens and ten lands!¡± Hearing this, many of the disciples roared as their blood boiled. They couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Instead of waiting here helplessly, they might as well go out and kill to their heart¡¯s content. They would rather vent all their dissatisfaction before death. Even if they could only kill one expert of the ten thousand ancient races, it was still a win. In any case, many of the disciples from the Taiyi Holy Land were prepared to break out of the encirclement and fight the sky dragon race and the black wing race. They had no regrets even if they had to die a hundred times over! They vowed to get back at their enemies a hundred times in the future for the humiliation they had suffered today! Chapter 369 - 369 Kill 369 Kill Even if all of them died here and no one lived, the Elder King would avenge them! The higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land laughed when they heard all the disciples¡¯ roars. ¡°All disciples, hear my order. Kill!¡± With that, the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s array was torn open, and Lu Xuan and the other high-level officials charged out. The sky dragon race and black wing race experts were caught off guard by the full force of the experts from the Taiyi Holy Land, but they quickly reacted. Seeing the human cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land finally come out of the array, they laughed out loud. Finally, they could kill these cowards from the Taiyi Holy Land. They were excited when they thought of the treasures and resources in the Taiyi Holy Land that they would obtain, as well as the ruins of the Taiyi Holy Land that the human Elder King would see when he returned. They charged at the experts from the Taiyi Holy Land, wanting to destroy the whole place! The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Countless experts¡¯ auras erupted. Even the weakest disciples were determined to fight to the death. Even if an abyss was waiting before them, they had no regrets. They vowed to bring a few of the sky dragon race and black wing race¡¯s experts to hell with them so that the latter would know the true meaning of the wrath of the human race! ¡°Kill!¡± Following this, many fluctuations erupted, and countless cultivation techniques and magic items were used. The disciples used their strongest trump cards as soon as they went forward, striking out all their attacks. In front of them were countless experts from the ten thousand ancient races charging toward them. The reason why the latter was so excited was that they had heard the words of the two Ancient Sages from the sky dragon race and the black wing race. The two Ancient Sages said, ¡°If you can obtain the heads of these human cultivators, you will be rewarded. All the treasures will be distributed after the Taiyi Holy Land is destroyed!¡± Immediately, the eyes of the countless experts from the sky dragon race and black wing race flashed with greed. They fought with the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land like crazy, chopping off the heads of the human cultivators who then became headless corpses and fell to the ground. This scene was as tragic as it could get. More and more corpses were lying on the ground. Blood dyed the ground red, making it look like a scene from purgatory. Countless broken limbs and exposed bones scattered around. There were also the painful screams of many cultivators. This scene deeply stimulated everyone¡¯s soul, causing them to fight even harder. No one wanted to die, so they could only kill crazily and chop off the other party¡¯s head. In the end, many of the disciples from the Taiyi Holy Land self-destructed, killing many of the black wing race and sky dragon race¡¯s experts with them. These scenes played out in front of the gates of the Taiyi Holy Land. The upper echelons of the Holy Land were also engaged in a fierce battle with the experts from the black wing race and the sky dragon race. In all honesty, the experts of the ten thousand ancient races were truly terrifying. They only had one goal, and that was to kill. They would never fight one-on-one. Most of the time, several experts would surround and kill a human cultivator. When the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land saw this, they were so angry that their eyes seemed to pop out. Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had died, turning into cold corpses on the ground, most of them incomplete. The battle was so fierce that some disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were even torn apart and turned into a cloud of blood mist. Some self-destructed, leaving nothing of themselves behind expert for huge pits in the gates of the Taiyi Holy Land. Lu Xuan roared in anger. He charged forward crazily, and a terrifying aura burst out from the big saber in his hand. He used all his strength to hack at the other party, but the other party was not to be trifled with. The expert used ghostly movements to dodge Lu Xuan¡¯s attacks, then punched him. Ly Xuan was hit so hard that he spat out blood and fell to the ground. It was the same for the Dragon Lord and the others. They had fallen into a disadvantageous situation in their battles. Lu Xuan then roared, ¡°All disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, break the siege. Even if only one of us survives, our sacrifice will not be in vain!¡± The eyes of many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were red at this point. They madly rushed to kill the enemies in front to pave a bloody path for the disciples behind so that the latter could escape and preserve the Taiyi Holy Land. Such a scene had already been played out in the nine Heavens and ten lands for God knows how many times. At the same time, experts from the powerful cosmic races were hiding in the surroundings, waiting for an opportunity to strike and give the human race a blow! The sky dragon race and the black wing race were also their targets, as they would be able to obtain their spatial rings after killing them. There must be many treasures in it that could make them even stronger. If they continued to fight like this, probably less than half of the living beings in the ten lands would be left. There was even a possibility that some races would disappear. For example, some of the ten thousand ancient races had disappeared, because they were not strong enough. They were either ambushed or jointly destroyed by powerful experts. Similar occurrences happened in the human race¡¯s Holy Lands and imperial dynasties. It was just that the subject had changed. Such terrifying battles naturally attracted the attention of many reclusive experts. They couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and joined in. These reclusive experts had originally planned to live in seclusion until the end of their lives. However, when they saw such occurrences, they were extremely furious. One after another, they reappeared in the world and joined the battles. Living beings were dying at every moment, and the earth was plunged into misery and suffering. The cultivators from the Taiyi Holy Land who had died were also a very small part of all the casualties. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest arrived in the ten lands, reaching an ancient land that had been destroyed. The living beings of this ancient land had all died tragically, and their corpses on the ground had even turned black and rotted. It was enough to show how tragic the battle had been. There were already cases of massacres. Either the human race destroyed the ten thousand ancient races, or the ten thousand ancient races destroyed the human race. Forces of all sizes were killing each other. Many experts from the powerful cosmic races were also adding fuel to the fire. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He didn¡¯t know what the Taiyi Holy Land had become. He quickly led everyone to their destination. If something had really happened in the Taiyi Holy Land, Qin Chen decided that he would kill all the ten thousand ancient races in the nine Skies and ten lands. He didn¡¯t want to go back only to see that the Taiyi Holy Land had been reduced to ruins with no one alive. Chapter 370 - 370 Kill Them All! 370 Kill Them All! With that, Qin Chen led everyone to cross the void and rush over. God knows if they could make it in time. Qin Chen silently prayed in his heart for the Taiyi Holy Land to hold on! At this moment, the Taiyi Holy Land had become a battlefield, and countless cultivators had died in battle. Countless disciples roared in anger! None of them were willing to die like this. At the moment, Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, and the other high-ranking members of the Taiyi Holy Land were being surrounded and attacked by the elders of the sky dragon race and the dark wing race. This time, the sky dragon race and the black wing race had sent over a dozen elders. Some of them had just broken through, and some of them were experienced Supreme Sages. Facing the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land, all of them used their strongest attacks, trying to kill the other party. The battle between Supreme Sages was not something ordinary people could imagine. Just the aftershock injured many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, causing them to vomit blood. Some of the weaker sky dragon race and black wing race cultivators were also severely injured, but there was nothing they could do. The battle between Supreme Sages was simply too terrifying. It was not something they could withstand. The great battle was still going on. Amid the blood and fire, the shouts shook the heavens. It was as if a hell-like painting scroll was slowly unfolding. ¡°Go to hell!¡± One of the sky dragon race¡¯s elders used a thunderous technique and turned his hands into giant palms. This was the skill he had obtained through atavism. At this moment, sharp claws extended out of the giant palm, like the claws of a real dragon. He pierced the chest of an expert from the Taiyi Holy Land in front of him and tore the latter in half. Hot blood splattered all over the sky dragon race elder, but he didn¡¯t care at all and continued to attack his next target. Lu Xuan and the others were burning with fury. The situation on the battlefield was extremely critical at the moment, and the situation had turned for the worse. The members of the Taiyi Holy Land were being massacred. Their experts were simply too few, and as a result, in the face of so many experts from the ten thousand ancient races, they were completely powerless to resist. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t take long for all the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land to die here. As Lu Xuan thought of this, he went berserk. He wielded his long blade and turned it into a sharp wind, slashing at the strong enemy in front of him. His opponent was an expert from the black wing race. Although this expert wasn¡¯t an elder yet, he was already a Supreme Sage. He slapped out with his palm and sent the long blade in Lu Xuan¡¯s hand flying. Then, he moved like a ghost and suddenly appeared behind Lu Xuan, aiming at the latter¡¯s head. Following this, he smashed his fist down! The punch seemed to have shattered the void. If it landed on Lu Xuan¡¯s head, he would die instantly. At that moment, Lu Xuan felt a fatal danger. Lord Dragon, who was next to him, rushed over to save him. He transformed back into his demon form and turned into a thousand-foot Dragon. With the Divine Dragon Tail, he sent the black wing race¡¯s expert flying. The black wing race¡¯s expert crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. Lu Xuan could not help but break into a cold sweat. He had almost died at the hands of the enemy just now. It seemed that these black wing race experts had come prepared. The experts of the sky dragon race were not to be underestimated either. They were slaughtering the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land madly. Even some elders of the Taiyi Holy Land had been injured. God knows how long they could hold on. Although Lord Dragon had just blocked an attack for Lu Xuan, a hole had also appeared on his body. This was the wound left behind by the black wing race¡¯s expert¡¯s sneak attack, and blood was flowing out of it. ¡°Are we really going to die here?¡± Lu Xuan smiled bitterly. All the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were chanting the name of the Elder King in their hearts, including him. It would be great if the Elder King could come back in time. Lord Dragon let out a roar and charged at the enemy in front of him. Many lives were destined to be lost today. As the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land, they would fight to the death. The two sides continued to fight like crazy. At some point, the whole battle seemed to have become a game. When the cultivators of the Taiyi Holy Land died, their heads would be twisted off or cut off by the experts of the sky dragon race and the black wing race. These experts would hang those heads on their waists so that they could get more resources when the time came for the division of the Taiyi Holy Land¡¯s treasures. One had to know that there were many treasures in the Holy Land that could allow them to improve their strength faster and give them a lot of opportunities. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were still rushing over. A strong sense of uneasiness had been bugging him all the way. His eyelids kept twitching, which made him increasingly anxious. God knows what the Taiyi Holy Land had become. He swore that if the Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed, the sect had been turned into ruins, and all the disciples died, he would personally slaughter the two races of the ten thousand ancient races and make them all die with the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land! Thinking of this, he madly tore the space apart and teleported. A group of experts followed behind him. Even the weakest of the group, the big scorpion, was already at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm upon return to the ten lands. Just by looking at their cultivation, they were not weak. They could annihilate any faction in the ten lands easily. Furthermore, Qin Chen and the others had extreme Emperor weapons. If he used it, God knows how much more terrifying his power would be. Countless disciples screamed in pain as wounds appeared on their bodies. But what they were most unwilling to accept was that they would die at the hands of the ten thousand ancient races¡¯ experts. They had wanted to become stronger, but unfortunately, they had already reached the end of their rope. Because these experts would not let them off. The elders of the sky dragon race and black wing race had killed many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. Even many elders of the Taiyi Holy Land had died at their hands. The more this went on, the more excited they were. They believed that when the Elder King returned and saw this scene, he would probably go crazy from anger. In the past, when the Elder King had been unbridled in the ten lands, he had killed many experts of the ten thousand ancient races and had even exterminated many races. They had felt extremely intense pressure then. Instead of letting the Elder King continue to grow, it was better to destroy his rear now. Without the Taiyi Holy Land, Elder King would be without a home. This would be a pain in his life. The Taiyi Holy Land must occupy a lot of weight in the Elder King¡¯s heart. When the human Elder King returned, they would be able to enjoy his expression. ¡°All experts of the sky dragon race and black wing race, hear my order! Kill! Kill them all!¡± Chapter 371 - 371 The Elder King is Back! 371 The Elder King is Back! It didn¡¯t take long before more than half of the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land had been killed or injured. At the same time, more than half of the elders had died as well. The only ones left were Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, and the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land, who were struggling to hold on. The black wing race and sky dragon race¡¯s experts couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at the sight. With just some more time, they would be able to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land. ¡°Kill them all!¡± An elder immediately roared. ¡°The Taiyi Holy Land will be destroyed soon! Don¡¯t stop now! Kill them all!¡± These words invigorated the experts of the black wing race and sky dragon race, and they immediately attacked the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. More disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land died in the battle. The entire Taiyi Holy Land had become a hell of blood and fire. However, at this moment, a fluctuation appeared in the void. It was a very terrifying fluctuation that tore the void apart and crossed over. Everyone looked up into the sky. They did not expect that the ones who arrived would be Qin Chen, Prince Zhan, Supreme Sage Qin Tian, and the others! The black wing race and the sky dragon race elders were immediately struck with fear upon seeing this. They could feel that the strength of Qin Chen and the others had become terrifying. There were even two God-realm experts. Among the experts of the ten thousand races who had come this time, the strongest were only Supreme Sages. If they were to fight, they would definitely suffer a great loss. The ten thousand ancient races didn¡¯t expect that at this critical moment, the Elder King of the human race had actually made it back. Just as Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, and the higher-ups as well as the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were fighting madly, they saw the Elder King return. Suddenly, hope rose in their hearts! ¡°The Elder King has returned! It¡¯s the Elder King!¡± ¡°He¡¯s finally here!¡± ¡°The Elder King has returned! Look!¡± To hold on until now, they had lost countless of their fellow senior and junior brothers. Now, Qin Chen had finally rushed back. At this moment, Qin Chen was extremely furious. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger as he wanted to kill all the experts of the two great races. The Taiyi Holy Land had been breached, and the number of disciples left was less than half of the original. ¡°Quick, look! It¡¯s the Elder King! Why has the Elder King returned?¡± ¡°Not good, let¡¯s run!¡± There were already experts from the sky dragon race and the black wing race who wanted to escape when they saw that things were not looking good. However, they were quickly locked onto by Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately ordered Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the rest, ¡°Kill! Don¡¯t leave a single one alive!¡± With that, a terrifying wave of energy burst out. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and slashed out. The extreme emperor weapon was activated, and its terrifying emperor¡¯s might spread out, tearing the void apart and razing everything within a hundred miles! With a boom, the terrifying aura burst forth, slicing the experts from the sky dragon race and black wing race in half. When those experts died, their expressions were all one of shock. They didn¡¯t expect the Elder King to return at this time. They thought that Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to make it back. Even if he did, he would only arrive after the destruction of the Taiyi Holy Land. At that time, he would only see the ruins and dead bodies of the Taiyi Holy Land. They had not expected Qin Chen to return at this time. Moreover, he had become even more powerful, and the experts around him had also become stronger. There were even God-realm experts! Whitey was the most terrifying. It attacked madly. With its Great God body, it was not difficult for it to crush a Supreme Sage expert with a single fist. It easily killed those who were one step away from escaping. The experts of the sky dragon race and black wing race all let out blood-curdling screeches. They had never thought that they would be slaughtered. At this moment, Qin Chen did not hold back at all. He only wanted to kill these damned experts of the ten thousand ancient races. If he didn¡¯t come back in time, the Taiyi Holy Land would probably be destroyed. Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land shed tears of excitement when they saw this. They had finally awaited the Elder King¡¯s return. Prince Zhan also attacked without any hesitation. Although he was also a member of the ten thousand ancient races, he still owed Qin Chen a huge favor. This favor would need to be repaid with the lives of the sky dragon race and the black wing race. At the same time, Yuji and the giant scorpion also made their moves. The black wing race and sky dragon race experts were in a state of chaos. They were all killed in no time, leaving behind piles of corpses and some injured captives. Qin Chen had no intention of letting these captives go, so he shouted at the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, ¡°You can take your revenge!¡± The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land went into a frenzy. Now that the experts of the ten thousand races had lost their ability to fight, they were not in any danger. They immediately attacked and slaughtered the experts from the black wing race and the sky dragon race. Their hearts danced with the joy of having survived a disaster! They didn¡¯t expect Elder King to come back at this critical moment. Now, they had taken their revenge and the Taiyi Holy Land had survived. Lord Dragon, Lu Xuan, and the others, as well as the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land, quickly flew over to greet the Elder King. ¡°Elder King, we have failed to protect the sect. Please punish us!¡± Qin Chen placed his hand on their shoulders. They were also injured. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t return, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive. They would die under the hands of the sky dragon race and black wing race. Therefore, Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He only took out some of his spoils of war and distributed them to everyone. Qin Chen had killed many experts from the ten thousand ancient races and obtained many treasures from the powerful cosmic races. Those people all had a lot of treasures on them, which he now distributed to everyone. Everyone covered their faces and wept. Qin Chen roared in anger, ¡°The sky dragon race and the black wing race tried to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land today, and I vow to avenge us. If we don¡¯t exterminate these two races, the anger of the Taiyi Holy Land will not be appeased!¡± After Qin Chen said that, he brought Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the rest to the Great Qin Dynasty. At this moment, the Great Qin Dynasty was being attacked by the netherworld race and the devil bird race, two of the ten thousand ancient races. Supreme Sage Qin Tian was naturally extremely anxious. He could not wait to return and save the Great Qin Dynasty. With Qin Chen and the others¡¯ return, they now had four extreme emperor weapons in their hands. Even the ancient imperial clans might not be able to stop them if all four weapons were used. They also had Whitey, who had the body of a Great God, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was a top expert in the Great God realm. At this point, they had become the strongest force in the ten lands. Now, since the ten thousand ancient races wanted to destroy the human race, Qin Chen would not show any mercy. Chapter 372 - 372 Massacre 372 Massacre Not long after, Qin Chen and the rest appeared outside the Great Qin Dynasty. At this moment, the Great Qin Dynasty was in the midst of a war. One of the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s Ancient Sages had already been killed. After that, the powerful cultivators from the netherworld race and the devil bird race became even more frenzied, wanting to break through the Great Qin Dynasty¡¯s defenses and devour the countless civilians within. There was no need for Qin Chen to say anything. At this moment, Supreme Sage Qin Tian could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. When he saw this scene, his heart was filled with incomparable anger. These netherworld race and devil bird race experts deserved to die! ¡°Kill!¡± In an instant, Supreme Sage Qin Tian unleashed a terrifying emperor¡¯s might with the Son of Heaven¡¯s sword! The heavens began to rumble. The Son of Heaven¡¯s Sword in his hand burst out with extreme emperor¡¯s might and landed on a Supreme Sage from the devil bird race. Before the Supreme Sage from the devil bird race could react, he was killed by Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who had activated his extreme emperor weapon! In an instant, the devil bird race¡¯s Supreme Sage exploded into a mist of blood. He didn¡¯t even have the time to scream. The experts from the netherworld race and the devil bird race were immediately frightened. How could there be an extreme emperor weapon? The Great Qin Dynasty couldn¡¯t possibly have another extreme emperor weapon. Could it be¡­ They suddenly thought of something and looked toward the horizon. Sure enough, they saw Qin Chen and the others descending, tearing through the void, and crossing over. In that instant, they felt as if the god of death had caught up to them. They couldn¡¯t care less about fighting anymore and roared, ¡°Run!¡± ¡°Hurry up and run!¡± ¡°The human Elder King has returned!¡± The experts from the netherworld race and the devil bird race quickly left, afraid that Qin Chen would catch up to them. However, how could their speed be compared to Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who had already broken through to the God realm? Supreme Sage Qin Tian¡¯s attack was a one-sided massacre. No expert of the ten thousand ancient races could stop him. Those who wanted to escape were intercepted and killed by Qin Chen and the others. The experts of the netherworld race and devil bird race that had come this time were wiped out. Those experts were the main force of their races. Now that they were annihilated, it was likely that the future days of these races would be bleak. Their vitality had been greatly damaged, and it was basically impossible to recover. But this was not enough to quell the anger in the humans¡¯ hearts. Qin Chen had already decided to kill him. These four races of the ten thousand ancient races had to be exterminated. Now that he was powerful enough, he would not allow the four races to survive. The Ancient Sages of the Great Qin Dynasty were overjoyed when they saw the return of Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the extreme emperor weapons in the hands of the human Elder King. As they had expected, the experts of the netherworld race and the devil bird race were massacred. It did not take long for those experts to all collapse, turning into cold corpses. Countless broken limbs and pieces of flesh fell to the ground, which made the humans excited. They had been unsure how long the Great Qin Dynasty could last, but now that the Elder King and Supreme Sage Qin Tian had arrived, they were naturally overjoyed. The Imperial Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty, who was also Qin Chen¡¯s 9th brother, flew into the sky above the Great Qin Dynasty. He could not help but shed tears in front of Qin Chen. His eyes were red. He did not expect that his younger brother would be able to make it back in time. Qin Chen consoled his 9th brother. Fortunately, nothing major happened during their absence. Now that the extreme emperor weapons had returned, no one from the ten thousand ancient races would dare to attack them. Then, Qin Chen left in a hurry, as he had something else to do. He had to destroy the netherworld race, devil bird race, sky dragon race, and black wing race! If he didn¡¯t flatten them all, he wouldn¡¯t be able to dispel his anger. Qin Chen brought Supreme Sage Qin Tian and the rest to the ancestral lands of the four great races. Among them, the netherworld race and the devil bird race had suffered the most casualties since their main forces had been destroyed by Qin Chen and the others during their attack on the Great Qin Dynasty. Most of the remaining members of those two races were ordinary Sages, as well as some talented disciples. In contrast, the sky dragon race and black wing race still had many experts left. After all, they had only sent out a small portion of their experts to attack the Holy Land. In the end, they unexpectedly ¡°welcomed¡± Qin Chen¡¯s arrival. Since they wanted to destroy the human race, Qin Chen would not show any mercy. He would destroy their lair. Countless experts of the ten thousand ancient races had seen those outside the Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty being exterminated. They immediately began to spread the news. Soon, another earth-shattering event occurred. The heads of the experts from the netherworld race, the devil bird race, the sky dragon race, and the black wing race had been piled up into a few enemy corpses pyramids. Their main force had already been destroyed, with no survivors. ¡°Look who¡¯s that!¡± To think such a strong expert had descended. There shouldn¡¯t be such strong experts in the ten lands. Who were they? ¡°Reporting to the race leader, it¡¯s the human Elder King. He has returned.¡± how is this possible? How could the human race¡¯s Elder King return at this time?¡± ¡°Hurry! Wake the Supreme Sages of the race.¡± ¡°Hurry, hurry, hurry!¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°The human race¡¯s Elder King is back. Didn¡¯t he leave the ten lands? ¡± ¡°How could he have returned so quickly?¡± ¡°Hurry up and have the clansmen retreat! Activate the teleportation array! Let them cross the void and leave the ancestral land! Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we might all die here.¡± Everyone knew that the Elder King had an extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. Furthermore, Supreme Sage Qin Tian from the Great Qin Dynasty would¡¯ve definitely returned with him as well. He also had an ancient emperor weapon, the Son of Emperor¡¯s Sword. ¡°Who can stop an extreme emperor weapon? I¡¯m afraid that even our ancestral land¡¯s great array can¡¯t withstand it. Let our clansmen escape! We have to preserve as many survivors as we can!¡± It was a pity that Qin Chen had already set up an inescapable net outside. Once the array was activated, the surroundings were sealed, and not a single fly could escape. The netherworld race, the devil bird race, the sky dragon race, and the black wing race were all in despair as they looked at the impenetrable array. They did not expect Qin Chen to return at this time and even kill his way to their ancestral land. ¡°How is this possible? I don¡¯t want to die¡­¡± ¡°Are there no experts from the ten thousand ancient races that can save us?¡± ¡°Damn it, why did the Elder King return at this time?¡± ¡°Qin Chen must have found out that we attacked the Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty. We can¡¯t get in touch with the Supreme Sages in the race now. I¡¯m afraid they have been killed by Qin Chen and his people.¡± ¡°This is impossible! Is the netherworld race going to be annihilated today?¡± ¡°The sky dragon race is a powerful race that has been passed down for countless years. How can we be destroyed just like this?¡± ¡°If the race is destroyed, I¡¯m afraid I simply can¡¯t face the ancestors of the devil bird race¡­¡± Chapter 373 - 373 The Shaken Ten Thousand Ancient Races 373 The Shaken Ten Thousand Ancient Races The experts from the four races didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to come to their door. Now, the winner would take it all. They, who had always wanted to destroy the human race, couldn¡¯t accept the fact that they were the ones to be destroyed instead. In the face of Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying combat strength, the experts of the four great ancient races could not even imagine that in just a few moments, they were annihilated. This was simply unacceptable. Before they could even react, they were gone. The four extreme emperor weapons had sunk the entire place. If Qin Chen and the others had wanted to, they could¡¯ve even caused a bigger commotion. After exterminating the four races, Qin Chen sent someone to spread the news to everyone. The races that wanted to destroy the Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty had disappeared from the world. Instantly, the news spread throughout the ten lands like wildfire. The fastest news to spread was that the Elder King of the human race had returned. The second piece of news was even more shocking. Four races of the ten thousand ancient races, namely the netherworld race, the devil bird race, the sky dragon race, and the black wing race, had been annihilated by Qin Chen and their ancestral lands had been flattened. Now, even if there were some lucky survivors of those races in the ten lands, they wouldn¡¯t be able to cause any trouble. Since their races had been exterminated, these experts were but homeless curs. They had never imagined that the Elder King would return so quickly and destroy the ancestral lands of four of the ten thousand ancient races. Countless members of the ten thousand ancient races stopped all movements in time. They didn¡¯t think that they were stronger than those four ancient races. The four races that had just been annihilated were lessons to be drawn from others¡¯ mistakes. If they continued to attack the other human Holy Lands, they would probably end up with the same tragic end as Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon. There was also news that Qin Chen had four extreme emperor weapons. The entire ten lands were shocked. No one had expected things to turn out like this. The experts of the ten lands were all shocked beyond belief. The chaotic battles in the ten lands all quietly came to an end. Not many were willing to fight against the human race¡¯s Elder King. After all, the other party had killed millions along the way to this day. Any expert who dared to stand defiantly before him had almost all died. If they didn¡¯t know what was good for them, they would probably end up the same way. This news greatly alleviated the current situation of the human race. All the battles had stopped, and no one knew who Qin Chen¡¯s next target would be. In any case, they would be able to survive if they stopped. In other words, they were bowing their heads to Qin Chen. All thanks to Qin Chen, the chaos in the ten lands finally ceased after such a long time. This was truly shocking. No one had expected the human race¡¯s Elder King to have such great power. What these people were afraid of were Qin Chen¡¯s methods and his extreme emperor weapons. They did not want to be the next to be annihilated. At this moment, Qin Chen had already returned to the Taiyi Holy Land, which had been rebuilt. The cultivators and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were pleasantly surprised. Now, their crisis had been resolved. The disciples who had died in this battle were all buried. Qin Chen did not forget his promise to raze the ancestral lands of the sky dragon race and the black wing race to the ground and exterminate those two races of the ten thousand ancient races. This was to avenge the souls of the dead disciples in heaven. The current Qin Chen was no longer the same as before. All the experts had basically heard of his name. Those who know him knew that the stupidest thing to do was to go against him. On the emperor¡¯s path in this era, the Elder King would definitely become the most dazzling existence. The geniuses from the powerful cosmic races went into hiding. They did not dare to show their faces for fear that Qin Chen would learn of them and attack them. After all, they did not have extreme emperor weapons. Facing Qin Chen¡¯s attack would be courting death. The news spread very quickly. It was said that the Elder King had returned with a woman at the God realm and another woman at the Great God realm. Supreme Sage Qin Tian, who had returned to the Great Qin Dynasty, had also broken through to the God-realm, and so had Prince Zhan. Such terrifying news naturally reached the ears of many. Even the ancient princes of the ancient imperial clan were shocked. Could it be that Qin Chen and the others had really obtained the treasures on the planets? The ten lands gradually calmed down. The battles finally came to an end. If Qin Chen did not return, God knows how long the battles would have lasted. These ten thousand ancient races¡¯ experts were all afraid of Qin Chen. They were so quick to start wars only because Qin Chen was not around. If he was around, they would not have dared to do any of that. Just like now, upon Qin Chen¡¯s return, none of the ten thousand ancient races dared to start a war against the human race anymore. ¡°Dammit! We¡¯ve already missed our best chance. The human Elder King has returned!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. No one had thought that the human race¡¯s Elder King would actually return.¡± ¡°If we had more time, we would definitely have been able to destroy the human race.¡± ¡°At that time, the ten thousand ancient races would¡¯ve been able to regain our glory and radiance of the primordial era.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity. We were so close!¡± Many experts of the ten thousand ancient races were still grumbling. They had not expected Qin Chen to return so quickly. Furthermore, after he returned, he wiped out the experts of four races with lightning speed and thunderous methods. The names of those four races from the ten thousand ancient races no longer existed in this world. They had already become the dust of history. No one had ever imagined that the four races, which had existed for so long, would just disappear like this. ¡°What a pity. We were only one step away!¡± ¡°At that time, the blood devil race had wanted to attack the Taiyi Holy Land. However, the sky dragon race and the black wing race beat us to it. Now, those two races have disappeared from the world. We¡¯re just glad that the blood devil race didn¡¯t get involved in this mess. Otherwise, it might have been the blood devil race¡¯s doom at this point.¡± Far too many experts of the ten thousand ancient races had died this time. The experts of the human race had also launched a counterattack, regaining some of the territories they had lost. No one knew what Elder King would do next. Back in the Taiyi Holy Land, all the disciples who survived had basically obtained an opportunity. They had never thought that they would one day be able to obtain such a rich opportunity. Chapter 374 - 374 Peerless 374 Peerless-grade Spirit Vessel This was because the spoils of war that Qin Chen had taken out could be said to be of great help to them. If nothing unexpected occurred, the Taiyi Holy Land would soon produce a group of experts. With these experts, the Taiyi Holy Land would become increasingly glorious and powerful. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. He didn¡¯t expect that the opportunity to become an emperor in this era would come with so much war. So many experts wanted to fight for the opportunity, and thus started wars in the ten lands to take the chance to kill those who were stronger than them. This was borrowing power. With this, they would be able to get rid of those who were stronger than them, thus giving them a better chance of winning the opportunity to become an emperor. Of course, the ¡°contribution¡± of the strong cosmic races who were adding fuel to the fire was not to be forgotten. While the human race and the ten thousand ancient races were engaged in a bloody battle, the experts of these powerful cosmic races had gone into hiding. They wanted to fish in troubled waters to obtain more opportunities. They wanted to make themselves more powerful. Qin Chen was well aware that he could stop them for now, but not forever. In this era, there were destined to be all kinds of wars on the emperor¡¯s path. More and more experts would die in this great battle, becoming sacrifices on the emperor¡¯s path. But this was not what he wished for the Taiyi Holy Land. The entire Taiyi Holy Land was still immersed in the joy of the Elder King¡¯s return, greatly diluting the sorrow and grief for the deceased. This time, many disciples and elders of the Taiyi Holy Land had died. Those elders had all been killed by the sky dragon race and the black wing race. As the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land, Lu Feng found the descendants of those elders and took them in as core disciples. With this, they would at least help the elders rest in peace. After this battle, the human race suffered great losses, but the ten thousand ancient races were the same. For example, the ancestral lands of the four races among the ten thousand ancient races, which had suffered the most tragic deaths, had been flattened by the human race¡¯s Elder King. Those races could be considered to have become moments that simply faded in the past, with no chance of a comeback. Currently, Qin Chen had entered the great Emperor¡¯s palace in the Taiyi Holy Land. In the palace, he immersed himself in the fluctuations of heaven and earth, wanting to break through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. After absorbing the Heavenly God Spring, he reached the peak of level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. He only needed to pass the heavenly tribulation to become a level 8 Supreme Sage expert. However, Qin Chen was not in a hurry to pass the heavenly tribulation. Instead, he looked at the 33 heavenly steles in the great Emperor¡¯s palace. Qin Chen muttered to himself, ¡°Check in!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the system¡¯s voice appeared in his mind. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, you¡¯ve checked in at the 33 heavenly steles. You¡¯ve obtained the reward, the ¡°peerless-grade spirit vessel¡±!] [Peerless-grade spirit vessel: Contains a terrifying amount of spiritual energy. It can turn an ordinary area into a supreme holy land for cultivation!] A peerless-grade spirit vessel! Qin Chen gasped. He had never thought that he would be able to get such a treasure. In other words, with this peerless-grade spirit vessel, the Taiyi Holy Land could soon become a true paradise! The cultivation speed of all cultivators would be greatly increased where there was the peerless-grade spirit vessel, The same went for the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land! Thinking of this, Qin Chen exclaimed in surprise. He did not expect to get such a treasure from checking in. With this, he could save a lot of effort in making the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land stronger. With a thought, a ten-thousand-foot-long spirit vessel appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It exuded a terrifying aura and contained boundless spiritual energy. Qin Chen arrived above the Taiyi Holy Land and used his innate sword embryo to cut the ground, creating a deep crack. He threw the peerless-grade spirit vessel in, then sealed the crack with several arrays. With this, the cultivation speed of the entire Taiyi Holy Land would be greatly increased. The terrifying spiritual energy could speed up the cultivation of all the disciples. At the same time, a few disciples who were still cultivating in seclusion suddenly revealed a bewildered expression. What was going on? They suddenly felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have become much richer. Before they could think about it, they heard some commotion outside. They did not expect it to be a peerless-grade spirit vessel! Soon, the disciples who saw this scene exclaimed in shock. To think the Elder King had taken out a peerless-grade spirit vessel! ¡°That is great! With the peerless-grade spirit vessel, our cultivation speed will increase greatly! In the future, we¡¯ll be able to break through even faster.¡± ¡°Even the blessed lands of the primordial era can¡¯t compare to our Taiyi Holy Land.¡± Countless disciples exclaimed. Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, and the other high-realm officials of the Taiyi Holy Land walked out and felt the abundant spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They were all shocked. They did not expect Qin Chen to have a peerless-grade spirit vessel. With this peerless-grade spirit vessel, the Taiyi Holy Land could produce more experts at a faster rate. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with joy. The system was really quite humane. It knew what he needed now. After that, Qin Chen left behind a secret realm as well. It was a small world that Holy Maiden My Xue had created with her means. She was, after all, a Great God-realm expert. Thus, she could open a small world with just one move, where Qin Chen stored some of the treasures that he had no use for. He also left some demonic beast blood essence, which turned into phantoms that served as a test. If a disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land could pass the test by defeating the phantom beasts, he would get an opportunity. This would greatly motivate everyone to cultivate. Having done this, Qin Chen was already quite satisfied. He immediately returned to the great Emperor¡¯s palace to continue his secluded cultivation. If he wanted to break through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm, he would need to go through the heavenly tribulation. To be honest, he could break through at any time now, but the heavenly tribulation was not something easy to resist. As such, he decided to wait a little longer. He didn¡¯t know if the heavenly tribulation this time would be more terrifying than the previous ones, so he began to practice some of his cultivation techniques, wanting to perfect them and improve his combat strength. Not long after, Qin Chen appeared in the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land. Countless disciples couldn¡¯t help but bow to worship the Elder King when they saw him. To them, the Elder King was the sky above their heads, their God. Now that Elder King had appeared, it naturally attracted many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land to come and watch. More and more disciples appeared, looking at Qin Chen. Qin Chen looked up at the sky. There were already gray clouds gathering. It seemed that as long as he wanted to break through, the heavenly tribulation would descend at any time. Chapter 375 - 375 Tribulation 375 Tribulation More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the entire sky above the Taiyi Holy Land was covered with tribulation clouds. Many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land gasped when they saw this scene. They had never seen Qin Chen undergo a tribulation before. Now, to think he had triggered such a terrifying heavenly tribulation again, which naturally shocked countless people. The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have sensed that Qin Chen¡¯s aura had suddenly stepped into level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm! In an instant, the tribulation clouds in the sky exploded with terrifying might, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble. Only Qin Chen could trigger such terrifying pressure when undergoing a tribulation. As the changes in the dark clouds became more and more terrifying, everyone was increasingly shocked. Lu Xuan, Lord Dragon, the big scorpion, Yuji, and the other higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land were all shocked to see this. This heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying than the previous ones Qin Chen had faced. Qin Chen looked up into the sky. The tribulation clouds seemed to be roaring, and there were flashes of lightning. Then, he activated his Chaotic Divine Body and circulated the Chaotic Imperial Sutra. The order of chaos emerged from his body while countless rules condensed around him. Qin Chen abruptly took a step forward, creating a huge pit on the ground as he soared into the sky and charged at the dark clouds. He knew that this heavenly tribulation was the most terrifying one he had ever faced. And now, the heavenly tribulation was no longer brewing, but instead slowly dispersing. The boundless terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation fell from the sky and condensed into one terrifying Golden God after another. These Gods exploded with terrifying auras, all experts of the God realm. Could it be that Qin Chen had to fight against God-realm experts with his level 8 Supreme Sage-realm cultivation? And there were so many terrifying golden creatures. Everyone exclaimed in their hearts. Only Qin Chen did not think much of it. Although he took the heavenly tribulation very seriously, his current strength should be able to compete with a God-realm heavenly tribulation. With that, the innate sword embryo appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand and he activated it. A terrifying fluctuation burst out. The heavenly tribulation seemed to be still roaring. One by one, the golden Gods charged toward him. He was now facing the ultimate attack of this world. It meant that the Heavenly Dao wanted to destroy Qin Chen, not allowing him to exist in this world. The big scorpion was very shocked. He had never seen Qin Chen in such a predicament. Although he had an extreme emperor weapon, the heavenly tribulation would not give up just like that. The rules of chaos circulated on Qin Chen¡¯s body, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes. Then, he charged toward a golden God. Terrifying ripples appeared behind Qin Chen. This was the power of the Chaotic Divine Body. It could even shake the void! Facing the terrifying golden God, Qin Chen wielded his extreme emperor weapon and slashed out. In an instant, the ground was torn apart, and the golden God was destroyed. Seeing that he had killed a golden God with just one strike, it was a shocking scene for everyone. Then, an endless stream of golden Gods rushed toward him. These golden Gods had all kinds of weapons and magic items on them. Although they were all condensed from the power of the heavenly tribulation, they were still powerful enough to display a lot of power. Qin Chen deduced that these golden Gods should be the peerless geniuses who had been destroyed by the heavenly tribulation in the past. The heavenly tribulation had summoned them to use their power to kill him. However, how could Qin Chen be so easy to deal with? With the innate sword embryo in his hand, he faced the terrifying golden Gods fearlessly. The void around him seemed to be on the verge of cracking. When the big scorpion saw this, he could not help but exclaim, ¡°The Elder King is unparalleled in this world. How can he be defeated by this puny heavenly tribulation?¡± With the extreme emperor weapon in hand, Qin Chen seemed to have turned into a God of War. He was not afraid of these terrifying golden Gods at all. He killed the terrifying golden Gods one by one, each with a single strike. It must be known that these terrifying golden Gods were phantoms of peerless geniuses who had invoked the Heavenly Dao¡¯s jealousy in the past. Yet, they were now being killed mercilessly by Qin Chen. This showed that Qin Chen had the power to crush them when he was only at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. Even without the help of the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen could easily suppress any one of the golden Gods. The heavenly tribulation had also detected the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. This was within his expectations. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao would not let him off so easily. Seeing that the golden Gods were about to be annihilated, the heavenly tribulation once again released its power. In the dark clouds, a powerful figure emitting golden light was condensed. The terrifying aura of the expert shocked everyone. Even though they were a hundred miles away, they were still stunned by this terrifying power. Countless experts from the powerful cosmic races also sensed this terrifying fluctuation. They were extremely terrified. Could it be that someone had broken through to the Great God realm? This was no longer a fluctuation that could be triggered by a God! And now, Qin Chen was facing that terrifying expert. He was quite fearful as he could sense that the other party could pose a fatal threat to him. Qin Chen had rarely faced such a fatal threat. Now that he was feeling apprehension about facing this expert, it was enough to show how terrifying this expert was. Seeing that the expert was about to attack him, Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and unleashed a terrifying emperor¡¯s might as he charged forward. This terrifying expert¡¯s entire body emitted a golden light. He simply glanced at Qin Chen from afar, and the latter felt as if he had been locked on, like a cat that had its tail stepped on. The feeling of being locked on was not a good sign. Following this, the expert, who was emitting golden light, used the terrifying Trinity Secret Technique! This supernormal knowledge was a technique created by a legendary supreme orthodoxy in the primordial era, and now it was being used by this expert who was emitting golden light. With that, he split into three, each of them not weaker than his original body. At this moment, all three experts that were emitting golden light rushed toward Qin Chen. In an instant, the three experts formed a triangular formation and surrounded Qin Chen. Then, they struck out with their supreme supernormal knowledge, wanting to destroy him! Even with an extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen could not help but feel apprehensive. Were these people experts killed by the Heavenly Dao? How could such powerful experts be killed? Qin Chen had a feeling that perhaps the other party was not dead, but was just created by the heavenly tribulation. Chapter 376 - 376 No Chance of Survival 376 No Chance of Survival In the dark clouds, the heavenly tribulation rumbled. It was as if an endless stream of power was still channeling toward the three experts in front of Qin Chen. All of a sudden, all kinds of supernormal knowledge were launched at Qin Chen. Some people recognized the supernormal knowledge as the lost secret techniques of the ancient era¡¯s experts. The three phantoms of the experts that were emitting golden light all used different supernormal knowledge. Yet at the same time, each of them had a great origin. Some had been lost, while some only existed in legends. With that, the world turned dark and the mountains and rivers shook! Countless voids were shattered. The terrifying fluctuations were enough to kill any God-realm expert. In the face of the terrifying attack, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He held the innate sword embryo and poured all his divine power into it. The power of the innate sword embryo soared again, becoming increasingly terrifying. A supreme emperor¡¯s might enveloped the various supernormal knowledge released by the three golden experts. The crowd gasped in shock. Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation was something that could only be compared to the heavenly tribulation faced by the ancient great emperors back when they were young. At this moment, Qin Chen unleashed all his combat strength. He used all kinds of powerful supernormal knowledge as he stepped into the void, using the Moving Secret Technique to the extreme. The void shattered again and again as he shuttled between three figures that were emitting golden light. Then, he slashed forward with his extreme emperor weapon, and the terrifying chaotic sword intent enveloped the three golden experts. Unfortunately, they were not easy to deal with as they were supported by the endless power of the heavenly tribulation. At some point, Qin Chen was injured and spat out blood. It was enough to show how terrifying these three experts were. However, Qin Chen was still unafraid. This was the only way for him to change qualitatively. On one hand, he was constantly attacking and perfecting the flaws in his supernormal knowledge that were not easy to detect. The situation was slowly changing. Qin Chen was gradually gaining the upper hand against the three powerful figures that were emitting golden light. When the three experts noticed this, they actually exploded with increasingly powerful combat strength. It was as if they had consciousness. The three figures condensed into one and exploded with even more terrifying power. Then, the merged being flew toward Qin Chen. A large bell appeared in his hand, and it actually looked somewhat similar to the white jade celestial bell! Qin Chen was shocked. The golden bell that was coming at him was formed by the heavenly tribulation, and there were vague emperor runes on it. Could this figure be the great emperor who refined the white jade celestial bell? Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to fight against an ancient great emperor in his youth. He also never thought that he would meet the great emperor who forged the white jade celestial bell like this. It seemed that the heavenly tribulation wanted to kill him at all costs. Facing the attack unleashed by the ancient great emperor who was in his youth, Qin Chen was quickly beaten to the point of vomiting blood. The celestial bell shining with golden light emitted the sound of the Great Path. It was as if celestials and Buddhas were preaching Dao, while tens of thousands of demons worshiped them, and Gods were revered! Being surrounded by many illusions, Qin Chen was unknowingly once again struck in the chest by a force. He spat out a mouthful of blood. In an instant, he was already in a precarious situation. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, many higher-ups and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land couldn¡¯t help but look at him, worried. ¡°This can¡¯t be, right? Such a terrifying Heavenly tribulation, could the Elder King¡­¡± ¡°Shut up! That¡¯s the Elder King! How can he not even pass a tribulation?¡± ¡°I believe that the Elder King will definitely be able to get through this!¡± ¡°The Elder King has an extreme emperor weapon! How can he be defeated?!¡± Countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land believed that Qin Chen would be able to resist the heavenly tribulation. Only the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land knew how dangerous his situation was. They could all tell how extraordinary the expert who was emitting golden light was. To think the heavenly tribulation had created such an existence. It was enough to show how much of a threat Qin Chen was to the Heavenly Dao, so much so that the latter wanted nothing more than to get rid of him immediately. Qin Chen let out a furious roar and slashed out with his sword, shattering the many phenomena. After the phenomena were shattered, the expert emitting golden light rushed forward and punched at Qin Chen! This punch seemed to carry the Great Path of reincarnation. The countless fist shadows were like the six paths of reincarnation as they slammed into Qin Chen¡¯s body. Even with Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body, he was still no match for the attack! His chest was pierced through, and blood poured! The heavenly tribulation seemed to be on the verge of dispersing. Everyone was in disbelief and fear. Could it be that Qin Chen had been killed? One had to know that those who couldn¡¯t pass the heavenly tribulation were all killed by it. They didn¡¯t believe that the Elder King would die just like that. Many high-level officials of the Taiyi Holy Land were so shocked that tears fell from their eyes. Yuji rushed up to the sky without a care, but she was stopped by the big scorpion. The big scorpion did not believe that Qin Chen would die just like that. Rather, if he didn¡¯t stop Yuji, it was very likely that she would be killed by the violent heavenly tribulation instead. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, a top expert in the Great God realm, appeared in the void. She had been in seclusion all this time. She hadn¡¯t expected Qin Chen to become completely lifeless at this moment, which made her heart ache. She immediately looked at the figure in the sky above the Taiyi Holy Land. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s chest had been pierced. The expert who was emitting golden light retracted his fist, and immediately after, Qin Chen¡¯s blood gushed out from the hole in his chest like a fountain. The hole was simply too big. Qin Chen fell from above, crashing heavily into the ground. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, a top expert in the Great God realm, was furious. She had never thought that Qin Chen would die because of the heavenly tribulation. With that, her entire body emitted a terrifying fluctuation. She wanted to take revenge for Qin Chen. However, before she could fly over, the heavenly tribulation became even more ferocious! A terrifying power once again erupted. The boundless power of the heavenly tribulation poured down into the body of the expert who was emitting golden light. What was the meaning of this? Could it be that the heavenly tribulation had not passed yet? No one had expected that the situation would develop as such. Qin Chen was only trying to break through but had already triggered such a terrifying Heavenly Dao¡¯s tribulation that wanted to kill him. Now, even if he did not die, he was likely to be on the verge of death, unable to step on the path of cultivation again. Seeing this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue could no longer suppress her killing intent! To think the damned heavenly tribulation dared to kill Qin Chen! ¡°Die!¡± She had already fallen into a state of rage that made her lose all reason. She fired a beam of energy at the expert who was emitting golden light. However, how could the expert who was emitting golden light be offended? Chapter 377 - 377 The Great Nature Sutra, Ressurrection 377 The Great Nature Sutra, Ressurrection The expert¡¯s cultivation seemed to have vaguely reached the Great God realm. The Taiyi Fist punched out, shattering the energy. Holy Maiden Mu Xue once again charged toward the expert emitting golden light, holding the white jade celestial bell that she had activated. She didn¡¯t expect that the expert with the golden light would also condense a golden bell that was similar to the white jade celestial bell! The golden bell that the other party had condensed just now was much smaller than the current one. Now, with the power of the heavenly tribulation, the expert¡¯s golden bell had become the same size as the white jade celestial bell! Seeing this, Yuji let go of all qualms and only thought of taking revenge for Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen seemed to be dead, without a trace of life. The upper echelons of the Taiyi Holy Land were in deep sorrow as they watched his body fall from the sky, preparing to go over to catch it. For them, the heavenly tribulation was not something they could provoke. Whoever dared to provoke the Heavenly Dao would be killed mercilessly. However, Holy Maiden Mu Xue could not care less now. There was only killing intent in her eyes! Since the Heavenly Dao had killed Qin Chen, she naturally had to avenge him. To hell with the Heavenly Dao! In her eyes, she couldn¡¯t care less. Even if she had to die, she would avenge Qin Chen. At the same time, Yuji also soared into the sky, intending to take revenge on the Heavenly Dao with her God-realm cultivation! The big scorpion simply could not stop her. He could only sigh in his heart and be extremely anxious. That was the Heavenly Dao! Were these two women crazy? If this continued, Qin Chen would not be the only one dead. The two of them might die as well. Many disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land were already stunned at this point. They had never thought that the powerful Elder King would fail to pass the heavenly tribulation and even be killed by the Heavenly Dao. How could they accept this? It was also at this moment that Qin Chen¡¯s corpse suddenly showed signs of life. As he fell from the sky, a terrifying life force started healing his body. His body was suspended in the air, and his heart was beating like thunder. Countless people were shocked! The disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land cried out in surprise. It turned out that Elder King was not dead yet! The big scorpion was also overjoyed. Was the boy trying to make him cry? Nobody expected the Elder King to be still alive. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji, who were already attacking the expert emitting golden light, felt that something was wrong. They seemed to hear the sound of heartbeats. The thumps were so powerful. Before they could react, the terrifying expert who was emitting golden light punched them, sending them to the ground. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s figure disappeared mysteriously. All the injuries on his body were healed. His eyes flew open and he instantly tore the void apart, catching the falling Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji. He slowly landed on the ground. The expert emitting the golden light looked at him with some consciousness and disbelief in his eyes. Qin Chen¡¯s chest had clearly been punched through by him just now. Logically speaking, the former should have been dead by now, so how could he have come back to life? Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji both spat out blood. They could not believe that Qin Chen had come back to life. Their eyes were filled with disbelief before turning red with tears. Qin Chen let go of the two girls and said softly, ¡°He is my heavenly tribulation¡­ Let me deal with him.¡± With that, he stomped on the ground and charged toward the expert emitting golden light! At this moment, his body was filled with a powerful life force that was healing his injuries. This was a supernormal knowledge he had obtained through checking in, the Great Nature Scripture! At this moment, it had saved Qin Chen¡¯s life. This was the supernormal knowledge created by quasi-emperor Mu Zha. It could only be used once. But even if there was only a drop of blood of him left, it could resurrect him from the dead. It was just a pity it could only be used once, and now, Qin Chen had already died once with a hole left in his chest. However, such an injury was nothing to the Great Nature Scripture. The heaven-defying cultivation technique simply made his flesh regrow and his heart recover. At the same time, a terrifying life force was pouring into his body! Qin Chen felt the exuberant vitality and once again charged toward the terrifying expert in the sky. It seemed that the other party was indeed the ancient great emperor who had forged the white jade celestial bell. Right now, the other party should still be in his youth. Otherwise, the heavenly tribulation wouldn¡¯t have been able to create him as Qin Chen¡¯s opponent. At this moment, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand. His entire body burst out with supreme might as he slashed toward the expert who was emitting golden light. The expert emitting golden light had not expected Qin Chen to be able to come back to life. Just now, the Heavenly Dao had also mistakenly thought that the latter had died and had almost dispersed the heavenly tribulation. It then immediately realized that something was wrong. After all, right after Qin Chen¡¯s chest was pierced, the Great Nature Scripture immediately took effect and repaired his body. This had caused the heavenly tribulation to feel that something was off. Hence, it sent even more terrifying power to the figure of the ancient great emperor in his youth, making the expert emitting golden light even more powerful! Qin Chen roared. In everyone¡¯s eyes, his entire body emitted a terrifying flame as he charged toward the expert who was emitting golden light. It was the Green Lotus Demonic Flame that Qin Chen had obtained. This was a terrifying flame that could burn even Great God-realm experts! At this moment, it was extremely suitable as a tool to deal with the young figure of the ancient emperor formed by the heavenly tribulation. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame seemed to have turned into a lotus flower that bloomed under Qin Chen¡¯s feet! The terrifying flame burned as it crashed toward the expert! The illusory figure of the young ancient great emperor that was formed from the heavenly tribulation roared in anger. The golden bell in his hand solidified as though it had turned into a real entity. On it were clear emperor runes! Following this, a terrifying emperor¡¯s might burst out and pressed down on Qin Chen! At that moment, all the higher-ups of the Taiyi Holy Land felt that something was wrong with what they were seeing. How could there be a heavenly tribulation that could release the emperor¡¯s might? Could this be an ancient great emperor back in his youthful ages? Almost everyone thought of this and couldn¡¯t help but gasp. To think the Elder King was fighting against an ancient great emperor in his youth! No wonder this expert who was emitting golden light was so terrifying! The expert held the huge golden bell in his hand, and countless strange phenomena appeared as he charged toward Qin Chen. The two collided, exploding with a shocking power that shook the Taiyi Holy Land! Cracks appeared in the void, and chasms thousands of feet deep appeared on the ground! Chapter 378 - 378 Defeating the Young Great Emperor 378 Defeating the Young Great Emperor Such a terrifying scene shocked everyone. Some of the weaker disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land even vomited blood, unable to withstand such terrifying ripples of battle. An elder from the Taiyi Holy Land immediately unleashed his might to resist. Several high-level officials of the Taiyi Holy Land also worked together to suppress the ripples and prevent them from continuing to affect the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land. This was enough to show how terrifying the collision was! The battle between the two was like one that had traveled through the long river of history. The heavenly tribulation had turned this impossible scene into reality. Qin Chen was indeed fighting against a young ancient great emperor. No one had thought that this would happen. This was simply beyond the scope of their imagination and comprehension! However, Qin Chen was fearless. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame on his body continued to burn as his Chaotic Divine Body was activated to the extreme. Wounds appeared on his body and blood sprayed out. The young great emperor in front of him, who was radiating golden light, was also injured quite heavily. The power of the heavenly tribulation was constantly being poured into his body to support his crazy consumption. Then, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two both stopped fighting and retreated a hundred miles away at the same time. It was enough to show that the two were already on par. In other words, the current Elder King was already comparable to the ancient great emperors when they were young! With this alone, he could stand proudly above the many geniuses on the emperor¡¯s path in this era! Countless geniuses from the powerful cosmic races were shocked when they saw this scene, watching from a distance with their spiritual wills. They had also noticed that the figure emitting golden light seemed to be the heavenly tribulation¡¯s manifestation of an ancient great emperor when he was young. When they thought about how this was the heavenly tribulation brought about by the breakthrough of the human race¡¯s Elder King, their hearts were filled with fear! They couldn¡¯t believe that there was such a monstrous expert in this world! Compared to Qin Chen, they were like dirt on the ground. How could a lone star dare to compete with the light of the bright moon? The two were as different as heaven and earth. The Holy Lands and dynasties in the ten lands all felt terrifying fluctuations as well. They were shocked and confused, not knowing what was going on. Even experts of the ten thousand ancient races sensed the terrifying ripples. To think such a huge fluctuation was spreading out. Could it be that a God-realm expert had broken through to the Great God realm? The news spread quickly. Some of the Holy Lands and imperial dynasties of the human race soon learned about the news, while some from the ten thousand ancient races bought the information. In the Great Qin Dynasty, the ninth Prince was overjoyed. He didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to be able to unleash such terrifying power that he had triggered the Heavenly Dao¡¯s tribulation. With such terrifying power, Qin Chen would definitely be able to defeat all the powerful enemies on the emperor¡¯s path. Seeing Qin Chen getting closer and closer to becoming an ancient great emperor, the ninth Prince was naturally overjoyed. If Qin Chen were to rely on his strength alone, he would definitely not be able to defeat the other party. After all, this young ancient great emperor who was radiating a golden light was extremely powerful. Therefore, he took out the Century Array Disk. The Century Array Disk could be used three times, and each time, it could release a power that could kill a Great God-realm existence. Now that he was facing this terrifying phantom, he could give it a try. In an instant, Qin Chen activated the array disk. The terrifying power of the array surged out and turned into a huge array. Black and white array power filled the surroundings, encircling the young great emperor¡¯s phantom. The terrifying power of the array, one yin and one yang, burst forth with a shocking might, enough to kill a Great God-realm expert! The young great emperor¡¯s phantom didn¡¯t expect such an attack and could only rely on the white jade celestial bell in his hands to resist. But no matter what, the one in his hands wasn¡¯t the real white jade celestial bell. After all, the true white jade celestial bell was in the hands of Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Facing the terrifying power of the array and having fought with Qin Chen for so long, the young great emperor¡¯s phantom finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and exploded, turning into a shadow before disappearing from the world! The heavenly tribulation in the sky slowly dissipated. Something seemed to have descended from the dark clouds and landed on Qin Chen. It was the power of the Heavenly Dao that descended after Qin Chen had successfully broken through, helping him to recover faster. The heavenly tribulation wanted to kill Qin Chen, but at this moment, it still gave him a great opportunity to recover. Qin Chen¡¯s injuries weren¡¯t too serious, to begin with, because he had already recovered with the help of the Great Nature Scripture. Now that he was immersed in the power of the Heavenly Dao, he instantly recovered to his peak condition. Qin Chen looked at the heavenly tribulation that was dispersing. No one knew what he was thinking. He wondered if the young ancient great emperor he had fought against would appear in the next heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen had a premonition that if he were to break through again, the heavenly tribulation would definitely come again. Each heavenly tribulation was more terrifying than the last, causing Qin Chen¡¯s heart to feel heavy. God knows how terrifying the next heavenly tribulation would be. If it wasn¡¯t for the Great Nature Scripture, he would have died in the hands of that young ancient great emperor. To be able to become an ancient great emperor, one must truly have some capabilities. Even Qin Chen had used all sorts of methods before finally successfully killing the illusory figure of the young ancient great emperor. If such an expert were to stand before him alive, he would definitely be more terrifying. Even if Qin Chen had many treasures on him, he would not dare to say that he could completely defeat the other party. That being said, he had now broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. The countless disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land cheered. They had witnessed a scene that was close to a legend! These disciples didn¡¯t expect that Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm would attract such a terrifying heavenly tribulation. Didn¡¯t this mean that the Elder King had become even more terrifying? If the Elder King continued as such, he would definitely become the stone pressing down on the heads of many geniuses on the emperor¡¯s path in this era. After all, the Elder King was no ordinary person. Ever since he appeared in this world, he had continuously created miracles. He just might really be able to become an ancient great emperor in this era. At this moment, the ancient princes of the ten thousand ancient races had also heard of the news, and they were all stunned beyond belief. To think that Qin Chen was on par with the young ancient great emperors already. When they heard that he had transcended the heavenly tribulation and even killed the phantom of the young ancient great emperor, they were even more shocked. Could it be that the Elder King was going to defy the heavens in this era? Chapter 379 - 379 Heading to the Star Field Again 379 Heading to the Star Field Again Everyone was fearful and their hearts were filled with shock! Such a battle achievement was simply too shocking. Even they didn¡¯t dare to face an ancient great emperor in his youth. One must know that every single ancient great emperor was an expert that could suppress an entire generation! There was no doubt about how powerful they were. To think in this era, an Elder King had appeared in the human race, and he had a combat strength that was comparable to the young ancient great emperors. This shook their hearts to the core. Although Qin Chen had defeated the phantom of the young ancient great emperor, he was painfully aware that he had already needed to go all out to kill the other party who was only a phantom. One could imagine that if a true ancient great emperor were to stand before him, he might not even have the power to kill him. The ancient great emperor was simply so powerful that even Qin Chen could not help but feel shocked. It was merely a projection of an ancient great emperor in his youth, yet it already possessed such might. If this someone comparable to an ancient great emperor were to be produced in this era, he would definitely be able to suppress all the geniuses of the nine Heavens and ten lands. Even the geniuses of the powerful cosmic races could only bow their heads. However, Qin Chen had not yet seen such a terrifying person on the emperor¡¯s path. Even the ancient princes who had inherited the bloodlines of the ancient heavenly sovereigns, as well as the sons of the ancient great emperors, had not displayed such monstrous strength. Qin Chen had a glimmer of hope in his heart that he might be able to seize the opportunity to become a great emperor in this era. It should be known that becoming a great emperor was very tempting to countless geniuses and experts, and Qin Chen was no exception. If he had the chance, he did want to become an ancient great emperor. After all, ancient great emperors were extremely powerful beings that could suppress an entire generation and be worshipped throughout history. Now that Qin Chen had broken through, it naturally caused a commotion. The Taiyi Holy Land welcomed many representatives from other Holy Lands and dynasties to congratulate the Elder King, making it seem like a grand event. Qin Chen asked Lu Xuan to deal with the situation, while he entered the great Emperor¡¯s palace to cultivate in seclusion. He had just broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm and his cultivation was still a little unstable. He needed to stabilize his realm. He did not want his foundation to be unstable, which would then result in a backtrack of his realm. After that, Qin Chen thought of the seven coordinates in the cosmic left by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. He had only found two of them, and there were five other places. If he could find those five places, he would definitely be able to step into the God realm. He had fully tasted the difficulty of breaking through. Even if he worked hard in the ten lands for a long time, it would still take a lot of time to break through to the God realm. God knows when that would be then. After Qin Chen came out of seclusion, Holy Maiden Mu Xue came to him and said before he could react, ¡°I have a premonition that perhaps the real chaos in this world is coming soon. You¡¯re still too weak before the arrival of chaos. You need to improve your strength. Otherwise, you might die in the chaos.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s words were naturally based on facts. She really didn¡¯t want to see Qin Chen die. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been so bold as to attack the heavenly Tribulation after mistakenly thinking that he had died. Qin Chen was still touched by that scene. Both she and Yuji now had a significant place in his heart. He nodded after hearing Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s words. If he wanted to increase his strength, he would have to go to the cosmic and find the remaining five of the seven coordinates in the star field. That was the only way he could improve his strength quickly. Otherwise, if he continues cultivating like this, it would take too long before he could break through to the God realm. With this, he gathered everyone and shared his thoughts. Everyone nodded. Indeed, although Qin Chen had broken through, the real old monsters had yet to reappear in this world. For example, if the terrifying existences under the Emperor Burial Abyss were to escape, the first person they would come to settle the score with would definitely be Qin Chen. Those were beings who claimed to be able to destroy extreme emperor weapons, so how powerful must they be? Qin Chen couldn¡¯t even imagine it. As he was about to leave, he asked Holy Maiden Mu Xue to leave the white jade celestial bell in the Taiyi Holy Land. With the white jade celestial bell here, it was enough to kill all the enemies, which allowed Qin Chen to leave with peace of mind. The big scorpion really wanted to go with Qin Chen, so he quickly walked to the latter¡¯s side and said to him with a smile, ¡°Elder King, there will be countless difficulties and dangers in the star field this time. I will bear the burden with you!¡± Yuji also walked over. She was afraid that Qin Chen would abandon her and leave, so she said to him, ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ve grown up in the cosmic since I was young, so I naturally know the various secrets of the cosmic. I¡¯ll be able to help you a lot for this trip to the star field.¡± This time, only Yuji, the big scorpion, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue were following Qin Chen. The others, including Lord Dragon, had also wanted to follow Qin Chen to the star field, but the latter had rejected them because the cosmic was too dangerous. They were, after all, still not strong enough and would likely die in the cosmic. It was better for them to stay behind and cultivate in the Taiyi Holy Land, which could also deter many small fries. At the same time, Qin Chen had also left behind many treasures, enough to support the cultivation of all the high-realm members of the Taiyi Holy Land. Now was a good time for the Taiyi Holy land to develop. Many geniuses would probably emerge before the chaos. At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land might be able to produce a large number of experts. This was a height that the Taiyi Holy Land had never been able to reach since its establishment. Qin Chen looked at the sad crowd and waved his hand. He then left with the big scorpion, Yuji, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was a top expert in the Great God realm, so she was naturally extremely powerful. If she followed Qin Chen into the star field, she would be able to protect him. Most importantly, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had lived for so long and most of the people she knew had already passed away. Now, in this vast world, she only cared about Qin Chen. Then, they tore the void and headed to the star field. Soon, they arrived at the starry sky. The place had changed a lot, but Qin Chen and the others had been here once, so they were more familiar with it. Along the way, they met some geniuses from powerful cosmic races who had heard of the reputation of the human race¡¯s Elder King, so they naturally did not dare to attack him. They left after seeing him from afar, not even daring to appear in front of him. Chapter 380 - 380 Stargate 380 Stargate Qin Chen was very confident that no matter what happened, nothing in the star field could threaten them during this trip. After all, they had extreme emperor weapons and their strength had increased very quickly. This time, Whitey did not follow Qin Chen to the star field. Instead, it was left behind in the Taiyi Holy Land to cultivate in secret. If anyone dared to attack the Taiyi Holy Land, Whitey would attack. Whitey had a Great God¡¯s body, so ordinary experts couldn¡¯t defeat it. Furthermore, the Taiyi Holy Land now had the extreme emperor weapon, the white jade celestial bell, so nothing would happen. Qin Chen could then leave in peace. He knew that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might die when the real chaos came. After all, in everyone¡¯s eyes, he was already a thorn in their side, an obstacle on the emperor¡¯s path. He was already able to fight on par with the phantom of a young ancient great emperor and even used external forces to kill the phantom. With such a terrifying talent, how could those people not be afraid of him? Even if they didn¡¯t make a move on him, there were still the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss, as well as some other old monsters who hadn¡¯t reappeared in the world yet, and the undying old men who had sealed themselves in the origin since the primordial era. There must be even more powerful existences among those guys. Or perhaps he would attract even more terrifying existences¡­ Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly brought Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and Yuji to continue traveling through the star field. They didn¡¯t know where the remaining five locations of the seven coordinates were after the star field changed. They could only search slowly. If they were lucky, they might be able to find one in a short time. If they were unlucky, they might not be able to find it even after ten or twenty years. Thinking of this, Qin Chen became increasingly anxious. He wanted to find the remaining five locations as soon as possible. As long as he did, he would be able to quickly improve his strength at the remaining five coordinates. Only then would he have the power to protect himself before the real chaos arrived. Otherwise, his days were probably numbered. Holy Maiden Mu Xue knew very well that there was not much time left before the great chaos. Now, Qin Chen was only at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. He hadn¡¯t even broken through to the God Realm. In this case, he would definitely be killed easily. Even if he had an extreme emperor weapon, he could still die. As the person that Holy Maiden Mu Xue cared about the most, she definitely did not want to see Qin Chen die. Thus, she followed closely behind him and searched for the remaining five spots of the seven coordinates with him. God knows where those spots were. This star field was very different from when they had left and many new places had appeared. Qin Chen tore through the void, jumping through space with everyone. They were once again on a boring journey. God knows how much time they spent on this process. Along the way, they met many experts from the powerful cosmic races. Although these people had never heard of the human race¡¯s Elder King¡¯s prestige, they could feel Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s Great God-realm aura. As such, they didn¡¯t dare to come over at all. After all, if they did, they would probably die. Qin Chen wanted to find out more about Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s past, including some ancient secrets. Unfortunately, she never spilled. As a result, he didn¡¯t manage to get any information. One should know that those ancient secrets were extremely helpful to him. He suspected that this matter involved a big plan that was laid out since the primordial era. It was possible that everyone was a chess piece on the chessboard. He only realized this after he encountered the black stone golem. The latter had once said that his master had left behind many arrangements. Just a backup plan that the black stone golem¡¯s master had set up had almost caused Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Qin Chen, and the others to die in the Omnipresent Heaven-shadowing Array. One could imagine just how terrifying the owner of the black stone golem was. And now, although the black stone golem was not dead, it had only managed to escape with a wisp of primordial spirit. It should no longer be a threat to Qin Chen and the others. As such, the most important thing now was to find out the truth of what had happened back then so that Qin Chen could break the other party¡¯s trap. However, Holy Maiden Mu Xue did not say anything and only told Qin Chen indifferently, ¡°If you¡¯re strong enough, any schemes and plots will be useless in front of you.¡± Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but laugh, at a loss for what to say. How long would it take for him to reach a realm that allowed him to do as he liked in the entire Nine Heavens and ten lands and even the cosmic? He was afraid that he would never be able to achieve such a feat even if he spent his entire life on cultivation. It would only be possible if he grasped that opportunity to become an emperor. Although Yuji didn¡¯t speak much along the way, her mood was clearly somewhat abnormal, but Qin Chen did not ask why. On the other hand, the big scorpion was a little disappointed. They had not encountered any treasures along the way. Compared to the last time, Qin Chen and the others had been like bandits and snatched all the treasures they encountered, but now, he somehow felt as if they were hiding from something. Under normal circumstances, Qin Chen would definitely snatch any treasure he encountered. It was a pity that he had already broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. Ordinary treasures and opportunities were no longer of use to him. What he needed now were the remaining places of the seven coordinates. Only the remaining five spots of the seven coordinates could allow him to become more powerful and increase his strength. They wandered in the cosmic. In the cosmic, a stargate was shining with light, emitting a mysterious attraction force. It sucked in all the nearby meteorites, even those floating in the distance. From this, it could be seen how powerful the attraction force of the stargate was. After performing a space jump across the void, Qin Chen and the others arrived at another place. The void fluctuated, and Qin Chen and the other three walked out. The surroundings were deathly silent, and they didn¡¯t see anything alike the places among the seven coordinates that they were looking for. However, they did see a stargate in the distance that was shining with a mysterious light and emitting an unknown aura. Many meteorites were sucked into the stargate. This scene seemed a little abnormal in the eyes of everyone. It was better not to come into contact with such an unusual thing. After all, curiosity killed the cat. If they were to encounter something that they couldn¡¯t resist, they might really die. In this vast cosmic, countless dangers could threaten them. Qin Chen decided to go and take a look. He wanted to see what was inside the stargate because he seemed to feel a trace of apprehension toward it. Chapter 381 - 381 Small World 381 Small World After Qin Chen made this decision, big scorpion quickly tried to stop him. Unfortunately, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji did not say anything and simply followed Qin Chen to the stargate. The big scorpion had no choice but to go over as well. If he was left behind alone, he would most likely die in the cosmic. After all, he was only at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. If he encountered anything, he might die. In the cosmic, many were in the God realm. Therefore, he still decided to follow Qin Chen and the others. At least, he could survive. With that, the big scorpion followed Qin Chen and the others to the stargate that was emitting a mysterious light. The stargate seemed to have been opened on a star, but unfortunately, the star was so small that the appearance of this stargate had completely blocked it, making it as if the star had been swallowed. All that was left was the stargate that was emitting a mysterious light in the cosmic. It was constantly absorbing matter into it, but one could still be sure that it was not a black hole. After all, if it really was a black hole, they probably wouldn¡¯t have even been able to see what it was before already being sucked in. Qin Chen had originally wanted the big scorpion to be the vanguard, but seeing how the latter was so cautious, he probably wouldn¡¯t fall for his words. Therefore, Qin Chen could only lead the way himself. When Qin Chen came into contact with the meteorite in front of the stargate, he stood on it and rode it into the stargate. At the same time, Yuji, the big scorpion, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue each stood on a meteorite and slowly entered the stargate as well. The feeling was very strange. It was as if they had entered another world. When they opened their eyes again, their surroundings were already extremely bright as if they had arrived in another world. This world had the exact same environment as the ten lands. There were mountains and rivers, blue skies and white clouds, and living beings like humans. These people seemed to be exactly the same as the humans in the ten lands. Qin Chen and the others simply couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of peerless expert could create a small world like this. One could imagine that the people here had lived in this place for generations, and they should know about the existence of the outside world. Otherwise, they would not have been so nonchalant about the appearance of Qin Chen and the others. It seemed that people from the outside world had come here before. Qin Chen and the rest then discovered something even more terrifying. These human-like living beings seemed to be Sages, all extremely talented. This caused the big scorpion to cry out in alarm. If these Sages were to enter the cosmic, they would probably cause unrest in the cosmic. What a powerful force this was! Not to mention that there were even more powerful peerless experts in the small world! With so many Sages, they could destroy many races. Qin Chen and the others did not have the time to find out how big this small world was. They descended from the mountain formed from piles of rocks and walked on the ground. In the sky, the stargate was connected to a mountain where there were countless meteorites. It seemed that the stargate had attracted a lot of meteorites to pass through the gate and arrive here. Qin Chen and the others concealed their cultivation auras to prevent falling into the enemy¡¯s trap. This was all that they could do. If they encountered any danger, they could also catch the other party off guard. Then, they walked on the ground. Many beings who looked like humans walked over, looking at Qin Chen and the others with curiosity. One immediately asked, ¡°Are you from the outside world?¡± Qin Chen and the others nodded. The human-like beings in the small world seemed to know about the existence of the outside world. Otherwise, they would not have such an attitude towards them. It was likely that other beings from the outside world had entered this small world before. When the human-like beings saw that Qin Chen¡¯s appearance was the same as theirs, they let down their guard. They asked him what the outside world was like, seemingly showing that they had never gone out. Qin Chen was a little surprised. Most of these humans were Sages. How could they not have gone to the outside world before? Logically, they should be able to leave this place easily. As long as they passed through the stargate, they should be able to reach the cosmic. Yet, none of them had ever left this place, which puzzled Qin Chen. An old human-like being sighed as he spoke, ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to leave, but there¡¯s a seal on the stargate that will isolate our aura so that we can¡¯t go out. Even the most powerful of experts among us can¡¯t leave this place unless they have reached the Elder God realm. That¡¯s why we¡¯ve been living here for generations. Occasionally, living beings from the outside world will come here. Unfortunately, all of them will leave not long after they arrived. The rules here don¡¯t bind them, only us.¡± Qin Chen was surprised. Who created this small world? According to the elder¡¯s words, this place was created by their God. Their great God had created them. God was their only faith. Hearing this, Qin Chen could roughly guess that the ¡°God¡± was most likely the peerless expert who had created this small world! It was very likely that the person was their ancestor, so he continued to ask, ¡°Is there any difference between this place and the outside world?¡± The old man smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never been out to see, so I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the difference between this place and the outside world. However, the people here all use natural treasures to cultivate. We absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth for our own use.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was somewhat stunned, because the cultivation system here seemed to be the same as the outside world. The old man continued, ¡°Here, we have countless cultivation techniques. They were created by peerless celestials and sages, and some we obtained through exchange with the beings from the outside world.¡± Qin Chen asked after hearing this, ¡°What do you have here? Stronger experts?¡± The old man said in high spirits, ¡°We have True God realm experts in the Land of God who are comparable to the Great Gods in the outside world. We also have existences above the True God realm, who are called the Elder Gods. Once one reaches the Elder God realm, one will then possess the power to leave this place. It¡¯s a pity that those people never returned after they left.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with apprehension. If that was the case, didn¡¯t that mean that there were many existences above the Great God realm here? Could it be that there were even ancient great emperors here? No, it was impossible for there to be an ancient great emperor around. In the entire universe, even in the tens of thousands of small worlds and among the billions of sentient beings, it was impossible for there to be a second ancient great emperor. Chapter 382 - 382 Auction 382 Auction The aura of an ancient great emperor had never appeared in this era before, which meant that there was still an opportunity to become an ancient great emperor. Therefore, it was very likely that the strongest expert here would be in the quasi-emperor realm. Thinking that there was a high possibility that a quasi-emperor was here, Qin Chen was quite fearful as he didn¡¯t know what thoughts the other party had toward them. It would be easy for a quasi-emperor to kill them. Even if they had extreme emperor weapons, they might not be able to defeat the other party. After all, they were in the other party¡¯s territory. The peerless expert who created the small world must have left behind many routes of escape for his descendants here. A figure like that wasn¡¯t that far off from an ancient great emperor. To be able to create such a small world was enough to show how powerful the other party was. To be able to do this was already an extremely difficult feat. Moreover, the spiritual energy here was no less abundant than that of the Taiyi Holy Land, or rather, even more abundant, which made the number of experts here increase. If the many experts here left this small world, it would most likely cause a huge impact on the outside world. Fortunately, when the small world had been created a long time ago, the expert who created it had left a restriction. Experts who had not reached the Elder God realm were unable to leave this place. When Qin Chen thought of this, he was quite surprised. Could it be that many of the Elder Gods of this small world had already left this place and entered the cosmic? From the tone of the old man, it seemed like that was the case. Didn¡¯t this mean that it was very likely that the other party had also been to the ten lands and had entered this stargate earlier than Qin Chen? It was very likely that some top experts in the history of the ten lands came from here. Qin Chen was a little shocked. No wonder this place could produce experts comparable to the quasi-emperors. As expected of the descendants of the peerless expert who created this small world. At the thought of this, Qin Chen decided to hide with Yuji, the big scorpion, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue, wanting to see if anyone would come looking for them. After all, they were now in someone else¡¯s territory. When they entered, the other party might have already sensed their arrival. Now, they could only take one step at a time. In this unfamiliar territory, they actually had another choice, and that was to leave. However, Qin Chen had a nagging feeling that there should be many opportunities and treasures here that didn¡¯t exist in the outside world. If he could obtain them, he would definitely be able to become even more powerful. Thinking of this, they bade farewell to the old man and stealthily concealed their tracks. As they walked forward, they saw many human-like beings here, all dressed exactly the same as the humans in the ten lands. These human-like beings were exuding terrifying bloodline power. Qin Chen found it hard to imagine what kind of terrifying bloodline the peerless expert had to be able to leave behind such terrifying bloodline power. Such a powerful expert was simply just rare. After that, they arrived at a city where there were many experts. Some were even comparable to Holy Maiden Mu Xue. At the same time, there were also countless True God realm experts here who were on par with the Great Gods. Their cultivation system and techniques were almost the same as the human race¡¯s. In other words, the techniques they could cultivate could also be cultivated by Qin Chen and others. Other than the big scorpion, who could not cultivate such techniques, they could all understand the cultivation techniques. Following this, they found out the currency of this place. It was almost the same as the outside world such that the currency used was spirit stones. Spirit stones were a kind of natural crystallization between Heaven and Earth that contained a huge amount of spiritual energy. Refining it could make one more powerful, and it was usually used as a currency. Here, the main trading item was also spirit stones. Qin Chen had a lot of spirit stones on him. With them, he could trade with the creatures in the small world. They put on masks that were bought from some black-clothed creatures in the city, making them seem no different from the ordinary human-like beings in the small world. With that, they entered the city, and no one noticed their abnormality. Then, the four of them successfully found an auction house. If one wanted to buy something and gain knowledge, the auction house was definitely the place to go. There were many strong auras in the auction house. Even Qin Chen could not help but be shocked. So many experts were only the tip of the iceberg. One could imagine how many experts had been produced in this small world. If all these experts were to go out, let alone the ten thousand ancient races, even all the living beings in the nine Heavens and ten lands combined would not be a match for the human race of the small world. After all, they were too powerful. There were all sorts of experts. Some cultivators specialized in soul attacks, some in physical cultivation, and some even in spiritual energy. Experts of various cultivation systems all existed in the auction house. Countless powerful auras pressed down on everyone, shocking them. It seemed that this small world was really beyond their imagination. Once again, Qin Chen and his companions were reminded that there was always bound to be someone better than them. Fortunately, they did not expose their identities as soon as they arrived. If some experts were to find them displeasing, they might end up being surrounded and killed by the many experts. If that happened, even if they had extreme emperor weapons, they would not be a match for these experts, and there was a high chance that they would die in this small world. Soon, Qin Chen and the others were seated in a private room. After a while, an exquisite and curvaceous maidservant brought out a treasure that was extremely precious. It seemed that many experts were interested in it, and the scene was very noisy. The old auctioneer raised his voice, which instantly intimidated everyone present and quietened them down. ¡°This treasure is the glazed nine heavens flower. It has the effect of extending one¡¯s lifespan and is extremely powerful. It can make one¡¯s blood energy abundant and is thus the best choice for cultivators who cultivate body cultivation techniques!¡± Soon, cultivators began to bid for the glazed nine heavens flower. Such a thing was hard to come by, and from the old man¡¯s tone, it seemed to be very precious. Qin Chen and the others did not cultivate any body cultivation techniques, so they did not participate in the auction. They waited quietly for the treasure to be auctioned off. They did not expect that it would be auctioned off for a high price of 90 million spirit stones! Qin Chen was shocked. He did not expect this treasure to be so precious that it could be sold for 90 million spirit stones! One had to know that even he couldn¡¯t take out so many spirit stones. Then, the old man continued the auction and took out many precious treasures. Chapter 383 - 383 Divine Dragons Jade 383 Divine Dragon¡¯s Jade ¡°Heavenly tiger god pill! This is Heaven and Earth¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Nine netherworld grass! Since the ancient era¡­¡± ¡°Moonlight phoenix elixir! Condensed by the dust of moonlight ¡­¡± ¡°Sage¡¯s fruit! Only blooms once every thousand years, and bears fruit once every thousand years¡­¡± One treasure after another was auctioned off by the old man at extremely high prices. Qin Chen estimated that he himself only had 80 million spirit stones in total. That was all he had. If he wanted to participate in the auction later, he would probably have to spend all 80 million spirit stones. He might even have to pawn some treasures that he didn¡¯t use to auction for the treasures. Qin Chen and the others seemed to have arrived in a new world that had various treasures that they never seemed to have heard of. Of course, there were also some treasures that existed in the outside world. Treasures that were rare in the outside world were very common here. Yet, the extremely rare treasures here had never appeared in the outside world. Qin Chen had some speculations. Perhaps this place had undergone some changes. After the peerless experts had opened up this small world, the natural treasures started varying in kind. Amid the auction, many experts started cursing each other over the treasures, and the experts didn¡¯t seem to care about their image at all. If it was in the outside world, experts at Qin Chen¡¯s level would not be so unrestrained. Then, the auctioneer took out another treasure and said, ¡°This treasure is called the divine dragon¡¯s jade. It is said to have incredible power.¡± However, when the crowd insisted that the old man give a further explanation, he could only smile bitterly as he said, ¡°The divine dragon¡¯s jade is related to a legend that has been passed down from the primordial era. I believe that everyone here should have heard of it. ¡± ¡°At the end of the sky was a divine dragon. The divine dragon left its blood essence there, hidden in the void. Only the divine dragon¡¯s jade can open the void¡­¡± A red-haired expert interrupted, ¡°As far as I know, the divine dragon¡¯s jade should have been in the hands of no less than a hundred owners. It¡¯s a pity that no one has been able to find the treasure that the divine dragon¡¯s jade is claimed to hide. In my opinion, all of you should not be foolish. Even if you obtain this object, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be of much use. It can only be kept as a collection.¡± At this point, Qin Chen was somewhat tempted. Could it be that the divine dragon¡¯s jade was the key to finding a treasure? With that, he had thoughts of buying the jade and trying it out. Unexpectedly, the old auctioneer smiled faintly and said to the red-haired expert, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but it¡¯s said that there¡¯s another legend about the divine dragon¡¯s jade. Every 300 years, there¡¯s a chance that the treasure left behind by the divine dragon will reveal itself.¡± ¡°If one can find the place where the treasure is hidden, one can then open it with the divine dragon¡¯s jade and get the treasure inside. The blood essence of a divine dragon is extremely precious. After all, such a divine beast has long gone extinct in this world!¡± Hearing the words of the old auctioneer, the red-haired expert was somewhat tempted. According to what he knew, this year seemed to have just reached the 300-year period. If he could find the place where the divine dragon treasure would appear, he would definitely be able to get the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence. That being said, this divine dragon¡¯s jade had gone through the hands of hundreds of masters. Some had waited for countless years without any gains. If he won the bid but did not find the place where the divine dragon¡¯s treasure was left, he would probably regret buying it now. As such, the red-haired expert suppressed the desire in his heart, snorted coldly, and sat back in his seat. The old man raised the divine dragon¡¯s jade in his hand. ¡°Everyone, the divine dragon¡¯s jade. Seventy million spirit stones!¡± Immediately, everyone gasped. Seventy million spirit stones? This was simply daylight robbery. Who could afford to spend so many spirit stones on something that they might not even be able to use? If they couldn¡¯t use the item, could they find another spendthrift to sell it at its original price? At the thought of this, everyone could not remain calm. The old man of the auction house was simply too greedy. That being said, some people were still tempted to buy it. They wanted to see if they could find the treasure left behind by the divine dragon. If they could get the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, it would be the best of the best! It was impossible for a second similar thing to a divine beast¡¯s blood essence to appear in the world! Even at the high price of seventy million spirit stones, there were still people who wanted to buy the jade. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s thoughts stirred. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Eighty million!¡± Eighty million spirit stones were all he had. Immediately, everyone looked at him, including the auctioneer. The four of them were wearing masks, so it was impossible to tell their identities. To spend such a number of spirit stones just to buy this divine dragon¡¯s jade, the masked man must be after something. The divine dragon¡¯s jade had been in the possession of hundreds of owners, all wanting to find the treasures left behind by the divine dragon. Yet, not one of them had managed to get it. To think this man would still want to buy it. He could be considered to have been scammed and was sending free money to the old auctioneer. The old auctioneer had never held hope that the jade could be sold anyway. He was already very happy that someone was willing to buy it for 70 million. After all, he could already get a lot of commission from that. He didn¡¯t expect that someone would be willing to offer 80 million, raising the price by 10 million. He was immediately excited and shouted, ¡°Congratulations, fellow Daoist! This divine dragon¡¯s jade is yours!¡± Following this, a beautiful maid walked over and brought Qin Chen and the others into the secret chamber. Yuji and Holy Maiden Mu Xue walked on Qin Chen¡¯s sides, leaving the bid scorpion to walk with the maid. After Qin Chen took out all the spirit stones, his storage ring was empty. Then, another old man appeared and handed the divine dragon¡¯s jade to Qin Chen. With this, Qin Chen obtained the divine dragon¡¯s jade. He did not know if he could find the treasures left behind by the divine dragon. The divine dragons were extinct in this world. In the outside world, they were equivalent to the true dragon race in the nine Heavens and ten lands. It seemed that the true dragon race had not appeared in this world for a long time. No one knew where they were now. If he could get the blood essence of a true dragon, the eighty million spirit stones that Qin Chen had spent would not be a loss. Rather, it would be a huge profit. The big scorpion stared at the divine dragon¡¯s jade with a pained look in its eyes. 80 million spirit stones! What kind of astronomical figure was that? He would never have imagined that the Elder King would spend so many spirit stones without even blinking just to buy the divine dragon¡¯s jade. God knows if this thing was real or fake! A red-haired expert had even just said that the item had been owned by hundreds of owners. Every 300 years, the location of the divine dragon¡¯s treasure would appear. Chapter 384 - 384 Finding the Whereabouts 384 Finding the Whereabouts It was a pity that no one had been able to find it for countless years. So why did the Elder King think that he could find it? The eighty million spirit stones had probably gone down the drain. The big scorpion quickly called out to the old man. The old man knew what the big scorpion was thinking, and shook his head.], ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my Lord. No returns once sold.¡± The big scorpion almost fainted when he heard this. Eighty million spirit stones! Such a fortune just to buy something so worthless! Then, Qin Chen took back the divine dragon¡¯s jade from the big scorpion¡¯s hands. Since this year was the last year of the three-hundred-year period, the divine dragon¡¯s treasure would probably appear again. If they could find the whereabouts of the divine dragon¡¯s treasure, they would be able to obtain the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence. With that, they could definitely make a fortune. After all, there had never been a divine dragon¡¯s blood essence in the outside world. Even in the nine Heavens and ten lands, the true dragon race had never allowed their blood essence to circulate in the market. Therefore, even if one had money, one might not be able to buy it. Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at the divine dragon¡¯s jade and was lost in her thoughts. One should know that that was 80 million spirit stones! Even she, a Great God-level expert, had never spent so many spirit stones before! It seemed that this human Elder King had quite a few valuable items on him. After that, the crowd left the auction house. They left through a secret passage in case someone was following them. No one would know that they had left through the secret passage, so even if someone wanted to rob them, they wouldn¡¯t know where they would leave from. Naturally, they wouldn¡¯t be able to follow Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. The auction house was truly a money-squandering den. He had only gone in once and he had already lost eighty million spirit stones. God knows it had not been easy for him to get these 80 million spirit stones. He had killed countless enemies to only save up such a number. And now, in the blink of an eye, all of it had been spent. Qin Chen stared at the divine dragon¡¯s jade in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking. The big scorpion said, ¡°This divine dragon¡¯s jade is a treasure left behind by a divine dragon, so it naturally should be for those who are fated with it. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be a true dragon race in this small world though. Although the humans here call them divine dragons, they must be the same divine beast. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s easy to get an opportunity left behind by such a divine beast. Elder King, we might not be the fated ones. You should just give up early. Let¡¯s go to other places and see if there are any opportunities to fight for. Then, let¡¯s leave this place and return to the cosmic where we can obtain quite a lot of other opportunities.¡± Qin Chen shook his head and sighed, ¡°You might be killed before you can even get your hands on the treasures here.¡± One must know that there were countless experts here. There were even Great Gods like Holy Maiden Mu Xue, as well as existences that were more powerful than her. ¡°If you mess around here, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll turn into nothingness soon.¡± The big scorpion was quite displeased, but he had to admit that there were indeed many experts here. The experts were numerous and powerful. None of the factions in the outside world had so many experts. The big scorpion looked into the distance and asked, ¡°Elder King, are you sure you can find the place where the divine dragon hid the treasures?¡± Although Qin Chen could not explain it clearly, he had a feeling that he would definitely be able to get it. Otherwise, why would the jade fall into his hands after hundreds of owners? Such a feeling was extremely mysterious. Even if he told the big scorpion, the latter would not believe it. When the big scorpion saw the Elder King smile at him, he suddenly understood something and could not help but feel excited. Could it be that the Elder King had a way to find the place where the divine dragon had hidden the treasures? He hurriedly asked Qin Chen. Qin Chen simply smiled and did not say anything. When he injected the power of the blood dragon bead the contained dragon¡¯s blood into the divine dragon¡¯s jade, the divine dragon¡¯s jade emitted a golden light. Qin Chen said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t find it, but their method is simply wrong. The divine dragon¡¯s jade can only be activated by the power of dragon blood. Since they were only taking the divine dragon¡¯s jade as an ordinary key, it is only a given that they can¡¯t find the place where the legendary divine dragon hid its treasures.¡± Both Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji were surprised. They naturally knew how precious the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence was. So much so that even if Qin Chen paid ten times or a hundred times the price, it would still be difficult to buy a drop of it. One must know that such a treasure was already extinct in the world. The true dragon race had long gone into seclusion in the nine Heavens and ten lands, and no one knew where they were. But now, they had a possibility of obtaining the other party¡¯s blood essence. The divine dragon in this small world must be the divine beasts of the true dragon race. There was no need for them to guess how terrifying the divine beast¡¯s blood essence was. If they could obtain the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence and refine it, they would definitely become more powerful. At the thought of this, Qin Chen let go of the divine dragon¡¯s jade in his hand. In an instant, the divine dragon¡¯s jade emitted a faint glow. Qin Chen immediately recognized the displayed scene. Wasn¡¯t this the mountain where they had entered the small world? Meteorites piled up on this mountain, and on top of the meteorites was the stargate that they had entered from! How could it be there? Qin Chen did not expect it either. He had only activated the divine dragon¡¯s jade and had already unexpectedly found the whereabouts of the divine dragon¡¯s treasure. If they could find the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, it would be a huge gain. Seeing the location of the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, Qin Chen laughed. The divine dragon¡¯s jade was indeed fated with him. He had never thought that he would be able to obtain the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence. One must know that the item was extremely rare, no less valuable than that of an emperor-level supernormal knowledge. No one expected it to be where they had come from. The big scorpion laughed loudly, ¡°We¡¯ve spared no effort in finding it!¡± Then, he urged Qin Chen to hurry to the mountain. As long as they reached the mountain, the divine dragon¡¯s jade would be able to sense the location of the treasure left behind by the divine dragon in the void. At that time, they would be able to obtain the divine dragon blood essence. This was simply a harvest that they hadn¡¯t even dared to imagine when they came here! Chapter 385 - 385 Divine Dragon Blood Essence 385 Divine Dragon Blood Essence Qin Chen was not sure what terrifying existences were in this small world. If it wasn¡¯t for the seal that was left behind by the peerless expert that created them, preventing them from leaving at will, the cosmic would have probably long gone through a great change. That being said, some powerful peerless experts could already leave. To seize the opportunity to become an emperor in this era, the experts here might choose to leave and head to the outside world. After all, it was a chance to become an emperor. As long as one could become an ancient great emperor, one would be one of the few people remembered in history. Ancient great emperors were powerful, supreme existences in the nine Heavens and ten lands and even the universe. No one could rival them. But now, Qin Chen had no time to think about those things anymore. He had brought everyone to the mountain where they had descended. The big scorpion clamored, ¡°I wonder if the divine dragon is plotting something. To think he set up his treasure ground in the void. Moreover, the void is in this region. Isn¡¯t he worried that his blood essence will fall out on its own?¡± If a powerful expert were to pass through the stargate, he would definitely be able to shake the void. By then, the blood essence might drop out of the void and be lost outside. Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°The true dragon race isn¡¯t that weak. They must have their means to place the blood essence in the void while ensuring that it won¡¯t fall out of the void and be available in the outside world. We must rely on the divine dragon¡¯s jade in our hands to open it.¡± Following the light on the divine dragon¡¯s jade, they arrived nearby. Then, the divine dragon¡¯s jade began to flash as if it had confirmed that they were here. As Qin Chen continued to walk around, the divine dragon¡¯s jade in his hand shone brighter and brighter. This meant that he was already very close. At a certain moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared in front of Qin Chen. Although the fluctuation was very subtle, he could still feel it. Was the divine dragon¡¯s treasure hidden in the void calling for the divine dragon¡¯s jade? The divine dragon¡¯s jade in Qin Chen¡¯s hand shone brightly like a ball of light, then left his hand and flew to the front. It fused with the void, and suddenly, the void trembled, opening a tiny crack. The crack slowly expanded and became a hole that could accommodate one person. ¡°So this is the place where the treasures are hidden in the void?¡± The big scorpion was the first to rush in eagerly. Qin Chen only smiled. God knows if there was any danger in it and to think the big scorpion was so fearless. After the big scorpion entered, Qin Chen, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and Yuji also entered. There was apprehension in Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s eyes. She could feel that there was something very powerful inside. Perhaps it was the blood essence of the divine dragon. She was probably overthinking it. After everyone entered, they saw an abnormal situation. In the void was actually a small world that was less than a hundred miles. The divine dragon blood essence should be hidden inside. Only after entering did Qin Chen realize how extraordinary this place was. It looked like a palace. Above the palace was a divine dragon¡¯s statue sculpted from stone. It was as if a real divine dragon had been petrified as the statue was exuding a heart-palpitating aura that struck fear into the hearts of people. The big scorpion stopped there, not daring to rush in. After all, if he went in rashly, he might face some danger. His strength wasn¡¯t enough to resist those dangers since he was the weakest among them. Even Yuji was a God-realm expert. Qin Chen nodded, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue unleashed her Great God-realm aura as she walked forward. With her realm, she should be able to resist the threat in front. Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen unleashed its emperor¡¯s might. The extreme emperor weapon seem to exude a chaotic aura that spread out as it was awakened. The chaotic aura filled the air, but when it reached the palace, it stopped and did not move forward. It seemed that there really was something amazing in front of them. Even the chaotic aura of the innate sword embryo was blocked. Then, Qin Chen walked into the area. In front of him was Holy Maiden Mu Xue who relied on her powerful aura to advance cautiously. She didn¡¯t know if there would be any danger ahead. They soon arrived in the depths and saw many rippling fluctuations in front. It was actually a stone dragon engraved with great power! The stone dragon was different from the dragon statue outside. It was more frightening. Following this, it suddenly spat out flames. The flame was no ordinary flame. It could burn the void. It looked like a flame more terrifying than the Green Lotus Demonic Flame! Facing the flames, Qin Chen stepped forward instead. The chaos sword embryo in his hand erupted with a shocking Emperor¡¯s might as he stood in front of Holy Maiden Mu Xue. ¡°This flame is a little strange. Let me block it!¡± The flame was indeed a little strange. Holy Maiden Mu Xue had also recognized it to be a type of dragon flame. Moreover, it was a rather powerful dragon flame. No wonder the divine dragon had left it here. Could it be a test? ¡°Be careful,¡± She warned as even she might not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo was not afraid of the flames. His sword ruthlessly slashed at the flames, splitting the dragon flames into two. After spitting out the dragon flame, the stone dragon didn¡¯t do anything else. It seemed that this was just a restriction that had been left behind. Then, everyone saw a treasure box in the center of the palace. The treasure box was opened, and ten drops of blood essence could be seen floating in it. These ten drops of blood essence were the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence! Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He held the innate sword embryo and advanced step by step, guarding against the possible dangers in his surroundings. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes were carefully sensing the fluctuations in the surroundings as well. In case a powerful attack appeared out of the blue, she could warn Qin Chen as soon as possible. Then, they walked to the box safely, and Qin Chen picked it up. When he saw the ten drops of blood essence floating in it, he was excited. The big scorpion was excited as well. One should know this was the blood essence of a divine dragon! The true dragon race would not allow the circulation of blood essence outside. Qin Chen closed the box and kept it in his storage ring, ready to leave. After they came out of the void, they were surprised to find a powerful figure standing there, waiting for them. This figure had been waiting outside the crack for a long time. When he saw Qin Chen and the others walking out, he said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, how about you hand over the divine dragon blood essence in your hands? I¡¯m willing to trade with you.¡± Qin Chen laughed. What a joke. This was the blood essence of a divine dragon. Even in the nine Heavens and ten lands, it was hard to find. To think this fellow had thoughts about his treasure? Chapter 386 - 386 Heavenly Medicine 386 Heavenly Medicine This figure was very powerful, so much so that Holy Maiden Mu Xue could feel a trace of pressure. To think that the figure¡¯s aura was even stronger than her own! It seemed that he was also a Great God-realm expert. One should know that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was already a top-tier Great God-realm expert, allowing her to not think much of those in the same realm. But now, the figure in front of her made her feel apprehension. God knows what kind of power the other party had. The figure then walked forward step by step and looked straight into Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you are not willing to hand it over, I can take out treasures to exchange for some of the divine dragon blood essences with you.¡± Qin Chen could sense the other party¡¯s hostility. He must be quite powerful to be able to follow the fluctuations and find this place. It seemed that the other party knew that they had obtained the divine dragon blood essence. This person should be an expert who had appeared in the auction. But to think Qin Chen and the others did not realize that they were being followed. From this, one could see how strong this person was. Hearing this, Qin Chen thought for a moment and asked, ¡°What treasures do you have to trade with me?¡± It should be known that the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence was extremely precious. Even in this small world, it was considered a supreme treasure. He didn¡¯t believe that the other party would be able to take out the treasures of the same value to exchange with him. The figure relaxed a little. Now that he heard that Qin Chen had relented, it meant that there was room for negotiation. After all, Qin Chen had an expert in the same realm as him by his side. If the former had other tricks up his sleeve, he would be at a disadvantage. With that, the figure took out his treasure. Qin Chen and the others held their breaths when they saw the treasure he took out. It was actually a heavenly medicine! The classification of natural treasures was very strict. Among them, the top grade was the heavenly medicine, which had long gone extinct in the nine Heavens and ten lands. It was a very rare treasure, just like the blood essence of the true dragon race. The newcomer held the heavenly medicine and explained, ¡°This heavenly medicine is the red spider lily, something I got from the netherworld. Although it¡¯s very poisonous, it has a special ability, which is to heal the dead. It can also grant a person a brand new physique called the Netherworld Mystec Body. Even quasi-emperors in the netherworld race would go after it like a flock of ducks. Such a supreme treasure should be comparable to the divine dragon blood essence, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ eyes flashed with desire. They had never heard of such a heaven-defying treasure. It must be the only one in this small world. Qin Chen suppressed the throbbing desire in his heart and continued to ask, ¡°Other than this red spider lily, do you have any other treasures?¡± The powerful figure sighed. He didn¡¯t expect the other party to want other treasures, so he took out a ball of white light that emitted a terrifying heat. When everyone saw what was in the white light, they were shocked. There was another flower wrapped in the light, but it was different from the red spider lily in that it did not have the aura of the purest yin. Instead, it gave off fluctuations of the purest yang. ¡°This flower is called the sunflower. It¡¯s a supreme treasure that an elder of my race obtained from the sun in the outside world after leaving this small world. I believe you should already know how precious this flower is.¡± This flower was called the sunflower, and it was also a rare treasure. It was said that they had appeared on the sun before but in a very small number of only five. In history, these five flowers had all been obtained by supreme figures. One could only imagine how precious it was. Qin Chen and the others could recognize it. To think that the human race in this small world could leave this place and head to the sun to pick this flower. One should know that the sun¡¯s flames were extremely fierce and had a destructive aura. If ordinary cultivators got close to it, even God-realm experts would be instantly melted and turned into ashes. The sunflower grew in such an environment. This meant that this was the sixth sunflower in history! It was even more precious than the blood essence of the divine dragon. The figure slowly said, ¡°I was once the owner of the divine dragon¡¯s jade, but it¡¯s a pity that I couldn¡¯t find the place where the divine dragon¡¯s treasure was left. Now that you¡¯ve found it, it seems that you¡¯re fated with the divine dragons.¡± After seeing these two treasures, Qin Chen¡¯s mind moved and he made his decision. He quietly took out two drops of divine dragon blood essence from the box. There were ten drops of divine dragon blood essence in total, but the figure in front of him did not know about it. If he could use two drops of divine dragon blood essence to exchange for the red spider lily and sunflower, it would simply be a huge profit! Although the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence was precious, its value was far less than the combination of the red spider lily and the sunflower. This small world really couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Seeing Qin Chen take out two drops of divine dragon blood essence, the figure was somewhat dissatisfied. He then said, ¡°Fellow Daoist, you can¡¯t be thinking of using two drops of divine dragon blood essence to exchange for my red spider lily and sunflower, right?¡± Qin Chen nodded, ¡°If you¡¯re not satisfied, I can give you only one.¡± The figure was furious. He knew very well that the other party definitely had more than two drops of the divine dragon blood essence. However, the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence was of great help to him. In the end, he gritted his teeth and pushed the red spider lily and the sunflower to the opposite. ¡°Fine, deal.¡± It could be seen that he was also very pained. Even if these two supreme treasures were used to exchange for other supreme treasures instead of the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, they would probably be worth more precious treasures in the small world. Qin Chen was also quite surprised that the other party was so persistent about the divine dragon blood essence. Then, Qin Chen gave Holy Maiden Mu Xue a look, signaling her to keep the red spider lily and the sunflower. Seeing her put away the flowers, Qin Chen slowly wrapped the two drops of divine dragon blood essence with his divine power and pushed them toward the figure. The figure carefully received the two drops of divine dragon blood essence and was ecstatic. ¡°I can finally transform my Divine Dragon Body!¡± Qin Chen and the others were surprised. They did not know what the Divine Dragon Body was. Seeing the figure so excited and happy, the blood essence must be very helpful to him. In the other party¡¯s eyes, the two drops of divine dragon blood essence were worth more than the red spider lily and sunflower combined. The Divine Dragon Body he cultivated was only one step away from completion, and the most important thing he needed was the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence. The supreme technique he cultivated was created by a supreme quasi-emperor in the small world. If he could obtain the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, he would be able to break through to another level. The Divine Dragon Body was an existence that was on par with many holy bodies. Chapter 387 - 387 Flee for Life 387 Flee for Life Even Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Holy Body could only be on par with and not better than the other party¡¯s Divine Dragon Body. That being said, the former had already transformed into the Chaotic Divine Body, which was naturally more powerful than the Divine Dragon Body. After obtaining the two drops of divine dragon blood essence, the figure cupped his hands at the crowd, then tore the void and left. Qin Chen and the others did not dare to stay any longer. There should be other existences in this small world. If they continued to dawdle, they might die here. With that, Qin Chen quickly led everyone through the stargate and left. As they were passing through the stargate, a monstrous giant palm suddenly appeared and came toward them. Instantly, a feeling of being in a life-and-death crisis emerged in the hearts of Qin Chen and the others. What kind of existence could unleash such a terrifying power? As expected, when they obtained the divine dragon blood essence, many powerful figures noticed them. Otherwise, those people would not have come to find them and attack them. Qin Chen and his companions left hurriedly, while Holy Maiden Mu Xue turned around and faced the terrifying palm. A terrifying energy burst out from her body, tearing apart the void for thousands of miles. She sent a stream of energy toward the palm in front of her, and the energy hit the palm like a seven-colored stream of light. However, the palm did not stop at all and continued to slam down toward the crowd, wanting to kill them here and take away the divine dragon blood essence. Naturally, this indicated that the situation was grave. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with surprise while her pretty face was covered in frost and her eyes were filled with killing intent. It seemed that this expert was determined to keep them here. However, her attack was no small matter either, and she should be able to penetrate the palm by attacking a point. Just as Holy Maiden Mu Xue had expected, her energy was like a beam of divine light that pierced through the cosmic, leaving a hole in the palm. Unfortunately, the palm did not slow down and continued to slam toward the crowd with a powerful force. Then, the void was locked, and they couldn¡¯t even tear the void to teleport. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with anger as he roared, and the innate sword embryo in his hand burst out with the emperor¡¯s might. Ever since he had broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm, he had not had a good fight. Following this, he slashed out with his sword. The terrifying sword attack instantly tore the sky apart and cut the palm in half. Then, he pulled Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s wrist and rushed into the stargate. The big scorpion and Yuji entered the stargate first, while Qin Chen and Holy Maiden Mu Xue hurried over. Then, a sigh came from an unknown place, and it was as if there was a great force that shook Qin Chen and Holy Maiden Mu Xue, making them spit out blood. They felt like they were not far from death. Qin Chen abruptly pushed Holy Maiden Mu Xue away, and in the next second, he saw a scene that he would never forget! An imposing figure appeared! The figure exuded an irresistible force and glanced at him coldly. Just this glance made Qin Chen feel as if he was about to be in a desperate situation. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was flustered. Even she couldn¡¯t resist the power of that terrifying existence. Could Qin Chen? Qin Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile with a hint of madness. He activated the Century Array Disk, and the disk, which still had two chances to unleash attacks that could kill Great Gods, exploded with black and white light. A terrifying array was formed and thrown out by Qin Chen, pressing down on the inexorable figure in front of him! The figure seemed displeased, and he opened his eyes. With that, the Century Array Disk, which could kill Great God-realm experts, shattered with a loud bang, erupting with terrifying fluctuations. Taking advantage of all the commotion, Qin Chen stomped on the void and performed the Moving Secret Technique, successfully entering the stargate. When the tall and sturdy figure saw that Qin Chen and the others had already left through the stargate, he felt a sense of regret in his heart. To think he had allowed those two unknown little brats escape. In his eyes, Qin Chen and Holy Maiden Mu Xue were as insignificant as ants. He was extremely unwilling to let them escape. After all, they had the divine dragon blood essence. As such, he wanted to chase after them. Judging from his terrifying strength, he was definitely above the Great God realm and must have reached an unspeakable realm. No one could stop him, not even Qin Chen with his extreme emperor weapon. However, just as the figure was about to leave through the stargate, golden chains appeared around his body. The chains were extremely ordinary, but they held him firmly in place. They emitted a golden light, not allowing him to leave. He couldn¡¯t even touch the stargate. The tall and sturdy figure sighed. Looking at the stargate, he seemed to be deep in thought. As for Qin Chen and the others who had already left, they had just escaped from danger. They didn¡¯t expect that they would be hunted down like this just because they had obtained the divine dragon blood essence. It seemed that it was really as they had expected: A powerful existence had detected them the moment they entered this small world. There was still blood at the corner of Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s mouth. Her condition was not very good, but she caught Qin Chen who was rushing out of the stargate. As the last one to rush out, Qin Chen was severely injured. Even his internal organs seemed to be on the verge of shattering. Not to mention his aura, which was already like a gossamer at this moment. Qin Chen revealed an extremely ugly smile. The attack just now had simply been too terrifying. He had almost not been able to make it back. The Century Array Disk could still be used twice but had been destroyed by that terrifying existence. That being said, the Century Array Disk saved Qin Chen¡¯s life. Yuji hurried over with worry in her eyes. She didn¡¯t know if Qin Chen could survive such a serious injury. The big scorpion, on the other hand, was extremely fearful. He said, ¡°The expert in that small world must be a supreme existence. It¡¯s already unbelievable that we were able to escape from him. I¡¯m afraid that the other party might kill his way out of the stargate. You must know that the seal of the stargate will definitely not be able to trap such an existence.¡± After hearing his words, Holy Maiden Mu Xue nodded and looked at the stargate. She seemed to be fearful of the enemy truly coming out of the stargate, so she immediately tore the void and left with Yuji, Qin Chen, and the big scorpion. They had to hide first, in case the other party came out of the stargate to look for them. Now that they had no combat power, to begin with, if they were targeted by the other party, the only outcome would be them falling into the other party¡¯s hands. At that time, only death would await them. Chapter 388 - 388 Warbeast 388 Warbeast The other party¡¯s actions clearly showed that he wanted to kill them. Such an ill-intentioned person naturally made everyone vigilant. After leaving the stargate, Qin Chen and the others arrived on a desolate ancient planet. There was no life on this ancient planet, and it had become a dead land. Perhaps this ancient planet once had a powerful civilization and many living creatures, but it was now dead. Holy Maiden Mu Xue had set up a restriction to isolate their auras. As long as they were within the restriction, their auras would not leak. The most important thing right now was to check on Qin Chen¡¯s injuries. Qin Chen shook his head. Although his injuries were serious, he was not on the verge of death yet. Otherwise, he would have long died in that small world. Qin Chen took out a drop of divine dragon blood essence from the box and swallowed it. The divine dragon blood essence was indeed a supreme treasure! In an instant, a terrifying aura bombarded Qin Chen¡¯s internal organs. His internal organs immediately reached the limit of what they could withstand. They barely managed to contain the terrifying power, though also on the verge of shattering. The divine dragon¡¯s blood essence contained a strong vitality. After all, the dragon race itself was a powerful race of divine beasts that stood above the heavens. So how could the blood essence left behind by such an existence be ordinary? It provided Qin Chen with an endless stream of life force, allowing his injuries to heal. His internal organs were being repaired as they were crushed by the power. The pain caused Qin Chen to frown, and large beads of sweat flowed down his face. One could see how unbearable the pain was. Fortunately, Qin Chen managed to pull through in the end. The whole process had taken a day and a night, but Qin Chen finally suppressed his injuries. At this moment, he let out a heavy breath. His aura fluctuated a little and was gradually recovering. His face was pale, but his lips had regained their slight rosiness. It seemed that Qin Chen was no longer in danger. Only then did Yuji and Holy Maiden Mu Xue stop worrying. Then, Qin Chen took out the remaining divine dragon blood essence. Originally, there were ten drops of divine dragon blood essence in the box. Qin Chen had used two drops to trade and used one drop himself, so there were seven drops left. Among the seven drops, he gave two to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, two to the big scorpion, and two to Yuji. He kept only one drop for himself because he could sense that the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence contained a great power that could be sealed in his body. Even though his injuries had been completely healed, the blood essence was still continuously transforming his body. However, Qin Chen¡¯s body was the Chaotic Divine Body, to begin with, which naturally meant that it would not be easily transformed by the dragon¡¯s blood essence. As such, the blood essence instead turned into energy that constantly supplemented his body, making him increasingly stronger. Holy Maiden Mu Xue took out the red spider lily and sunflower that she had put away and returned them to Qin Chen. This was what Qin Chen had obtained through trading, so it was only right that he was in possession of them. It was just that everything that had happened in the small world earlier had been too hasty, and they had almost died inside that she didn¡¯t give the flowers back to Qin Chen just now. Qin Chen kept the red spider lily and the sunflower. From what he knew, these two heavenly medicines both had incredible power. If he could find an alchemy grandmaster in the pill Saint realm, he should be able to get an immeasurable amount of precious medicine. It would be a waste to swallow and refine these flowers directly. After putting away the two heavenly medicines, Qin Chen recalled the last scene he had seen. That imposing being seemed to have wanted to continue chasing him, but iron chains had appeared on the former¡¯s body. Then, in just a split second, Qin Chen left and lost all sight of the terrifying existence. As such, the existence probably hadn¡¯t managed to chase after them. He did wonder what kind of chains could actually restrain such a powerful being though. One had to know that such an expert was definitely an existence that had stepped realm above the Great God realm. It was extremely possible that he had reached the Elder God Realm. Those in the Elder God realm should be experts with unimaginable strength. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t imagine that there was such a terrifying existence. This was the strongest existence he had ever encountered. He wondered if the other party was more powerful than the terrifying existences below the Emperor Burial Abyss. Qin Chen continued to look into the distance. On the ancient planet that was very far away from the stargate, he seemed to have seen something terrifying. The fluctuations emitted by the terrifying ¡°something¡± was enough to shake everyone¡¯s hearts. It brought with it a terrifying pressure as it pressed down on them. The black shadow flashed over and seemed to cover half of the star field! Everyone could not help but look up at the sky above the ancient planet. A strange beast of unknown size was actually wandering about above the ancient planet. This strange beast seemed to be related to an expert from a powerful cosmic race because Qin Chen and the others seemed to sense other living beings on it. It should be a weapon of war controlled by someone¡­ Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s attention was attracted. Yuji had naturally seen such a terrifying thing, though only once from afar. At that time, two super ancient planets in the cosmic were at war, and such terrifying war beasts had appeared before. Wherever these terrifying war weapons went, they would plunder energy and matter for their own use. They could devour planets with life that would then provide an endless supply of energy for them to travel into the cosmic. They could be said to be extremely evil. Wherever they went, they would destroy the civilizations they saw because they needed powerful material life energy to provide them with energy. Learning of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anger. After Yuji explained the situation, everyone was bewildered. Could it be that the war beast was heading somewhere? Or rather, had the beast felt something that piqued its desire? Something that could satisfy the war beast¡¯s wants would be very interesting. Qin Chen then gave everyone a look. They had almost recovered to their peak state at this point, so they followed the war beast. There were indeed many experts from the various cosmic races on the war beast, which they had modified it into their puppet. By controlling the beast¡¯s thoughts, it would not feel pain and only know how to obey orders. Even if they were to make the beast self-destruct or crash into black holes, it would do it without hesitation. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anger. He had never thought that these existences could make him so angry. The act of devouring planets in the cosmic and turning them into energy was destined to be very savage. Following this, Qin Chen and the others hid on the war beast and were carried along into the far unknown. They didn¡¯t know where their destination was. Finally, after an unknown period, some existences discovered Qin Chen and his group. Immediately, the experts from the powerful cosmic races who were originally on the war beast rushed out. They thought that Qin Chen and the others were invaders. Chapter 389 - 389 Extrication 389 Extrication They wanted to attack Qin Chen and the others and destroy them. However, how could Qin Chen die just like that? He was the Elder King of the human race, after all. The extreme emperor weapon in his hand unleashed terrifying power as he fought with the experts from the powerful cosmic races. One had to know that these experts of the strong cosmic races were extremely terrifying and fear-invoking. Furthermore, their numbers on the war beast were countless. Many of them were in the Sage realm, and the strongest among them were in the Great God realm, three of them. A God-realm expert brought the rest of his race over, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue killed them easily. The other party was, after all, just an ordinary God-realm expert. They were no match for her at all, who was a top expert among the Great God-realm experts. Following this, an endless stream of experts from the powerful cosmic races rushed toward them. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s anger was ignited. A terrifying green flame appeared on his body, and a lotus flower bloomed beneath his feet! Stepping on the Green Lotus Demonic Flame, Qin Chen shot out a terrifying blast of flame and burned the war beast. In an instant, the war beast was ignited in a huge fire! The body of this cosmic beast seemed to burn easily. Once the fire was started, it couldn¡¯t be put out. The remaining two Great God-realm experts flew over to kill Qin Chen and the others. In their eyes, Qin Chen was like an ant. If not for the proximity, just one attack from the war beast could¡¯ve killed the other party. But now, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived on top of the war beast. It seemed that the war beast was no longer of any use. It was turning into ashes, and the experts on it were also burning. The terrifying flames could not be extinguished! This was Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame. As a flame left behind by an ancient great emperor, it was naturally quite terrifying. The giant beast of the cosmic could not resist it at all. The remaining two Great God-realm experts charged at Holy Maiden Mu Xue like crazy. Qin Chen asked the big scorpion and Yuji to join forces to resist the other Sages. These Sage-realm experts were nothing to them. After all, Yuji was already a God-realm expert, so how could she not be able to deal with these weaklings? She quickly killed them and the blood flowed for a thousand miles. Cracks appeared on the body of the war beast. It seemed that it couldn¡¯t control its body and was about to explode. Most of its body had already been burned by the Green Lotus Demonic Flame. If this continued, it would likely explode. At that time, Qin Chen and the others would definitely die. After all, the terrifying impact would be no less terrifying than the explosion of an ancient planet. Even a Great God-realm expert might not be able to survive it. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave. At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue was fighting with the remaining two Great God-realm experts from the powerful cosmic races. Qin Chen thus joined the battle as well, and his extreme emperor weapon unleashed heaven-piercing emperor¡¯s might! The terrifying aura naturally intimidated one of the Great God-realm experts. They had never heard of Qin Chen and the others, and thus only treated them as enemies. Now that both sides were at war, and Qin Chen had destroyed their war beast, it was only a given that there was no way for both sides to stop fighting. Only one party could survive. Soon, Holy Maiden Mu Xue achieved victory. She tore off an arm of the expert from a powerful cosmic race in front of her. Being in the Great God realm as well, the expert simply could not understand how Holy Maiden Mu Xue could be so powerful. Qin Chen had also fought to a draw with the Great God-realm expert from the powerful cosmic race before him. His opponent seemed to have some kind of supernormal knowledge that made his body extremely hard, so much so that even the innate sword embryo could not pierce through the opponent¡¯s body in a short time. Of course, this was also because Qin Chen was too weak to activate the full power of the innate sword embryo. If Holy Maiden Mu Xue were to activate the weapon, she probably would¡¯ve been able to cut the God-realm expert into two with just one sword. Now, Qin Chen could only hold on bitterly and wait for Holy Maiden Mu Xue to finish off the other Great God-realm expert. He could not understand the language that the two Great God-realm experts were speaking, but he didn¡¯t need to either. Looking at the other party¡¯s angry expression, he could guess that they must despise him to the core and wanted to kill him. It was a pity that the situation had been reversed. Holy Maiden Mu Xue had defeated the Great God-realm expert in front of her, and the other party had escaped in an instant. His other arm had also been torn off by Holy Maiden Mu Xue, causing his strength to have fallen greatly and be severely injured. If he didn¡¯t escape now, he would die. Holy Maiden Mu Xue didn¡¯t expect the other party to have such heaven-defying escape abilities. It was simply a divine skill. She could only watch as the other party became transparent and disappeared into space. He could not be found in the surrounding void. What she could be sure of was that the other party had already escaped. Then, Holy Maiden Mu Xue went to kill the Great God-realm expert in front of Qin Chen. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Great God-realm expert did not dare to continue fighting either. As long as he did not die, there would always be a chance to rise again. If he died, he would have nothing left. As such, he wanted to leave, but Qin Chen would not let him leave just like that. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body erupted with the terrifying order of chaos that appeared on the surface of his body. Then, he grabbed the other party¡¯s hands, making it impossible for the other party to escape. Holy Maiden Mu Xue rushed over. A beam of light appeared in her hand and blasted the chest of her opponent into pieces, revealing a huge hole. Blue blood dripped on the ground. The other party immediately lost his life. Just like that, the Great God-realm expert was killed by Holy Maiden Mu Xue. There was nothing left to deal with, and Qin Chen and the others immediately tore apart the space and fled. Then, they looked back at the scene from a distance. The war beast had already begun to explode. Terrifying fluctuations came at them, but they were far enough away to not be hurt at all. None of the experts from the powerful cosmic races on the war beast managed to escape. They were all blasted to death. Cracks appeared in the void. It was clear how terrifying the explosion was. The war beast died just like that, which may be an extrication to it. Chapter 390 - 390 The Reappearance of the Black Stone Golem 390 The Reappearance of the Black Stone Golem The reason why Qin Chen and the others wanted to destroy the war beast controlled by the experts of the powerful cosmic races was that once the latter arrived in the nine Heavens and ten lands, they would cause immeasurable damage and destruction to the ten lands. Although there were many experts among those on the war beast, it was not a problem for them to destroy the beast. However, if they were allowed to come to the ten lands, they would cause great damage to the ten lands and many innocent lives would die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen had no choice but to join forces with the others to destroy the war beast. Now that everyone saw the destroyed war beast, they heaved a sigh of relief. The danger that could threaten the ten lands had been eliminated. Then, they got ready to leave. They still had to search for five of the seven remaining coordinates, and they had not found a single one. Just like that, Qin Chen and the others continued to cultivate while searching for the remaining locations in the coordinates. They tore the void apart and performed countless space jumps. The whole process was very boring, but fortunately, Qin Chen and the others had the divine dragon blood essence, which was extremely precious. After refining it, one¡¯s strength would increase by a lot. This was a true supreme treasure, even rarer than the Heavenly God Spring. A question had been bugging Qin Chen: Would the small world¡¯s restriction seal be broken? Once the restriction was broken, the many experts in it would definitely come out and fight in the cosmic to conquer a territory. At that point, the nine Heavens and ten lands would be their best choice. To a certain extent, the nine Heavens and ten lands could also be considered their ancestral land. If they could return to their ancestral land, those people would probably do anything they could. God knows how long the seal would last¡­ Qin Chen smiled faintly, feeling that his worries were unfounded. His worries were unnecessary because after the seal was broken, the ones who would be in the most trouble wouldn¡¯t be them, but the experts of the powerful cosmic races. The powerful cosmic races definitely wouldn¡¯t give up on their home and leave just like that. Therefore, those two parties would definitely have a battle before it would be the nine Heavens and ten lands¡¯ turn. Currently, Qin Chen¡¯s temperament was increasingly out of this world. His Chaotic Divine Body had become more and more terrifying, to the point it could now operate on its own. Countless orders of chaos revolved around him, looking like a suit of armor. Qin Chen continued to lead the group forward, constantly tearing space to teleport. At this moment, they were clueless that there was a pair of eyes sizing them up from a distance. It was the gaze of the black stone golem. Now, he had already reformed his body and was looking extremely miserable. His realm had dropped a lot from his original strength. Now, he was only at the peak of the God realm. If he faced Qin Chen and the others head-on, he would probably be killed in the snap of their fingers, but he couldn¡¯t care less. Instead, he continued to quietly follow Qin Chen and the others. Ever since he had escaped, he had been searching for Qin Chen and the others. Now, he had finally reconstructed his body, which was still glowing with black light. This was the body of a human cultivator. The stone golem now looked like a human, but his body was black. He had prepared this body for himself long ago, and since the body¡¯s birth, no soul had appeared in it. Even if there was, he had wiped it out long ago. Right now, only the black stone golem¡¯s split soul was within the body. When his main body was destroyed, he found the body controlled by the split soul and fused with it. Then, he made some changes to make himself look very similar to his original appearance. As a result, his body now seemed to be made of stone and was giving off a black light. ¡°I¡¯ve finally found you,¡± The black stone golem spoke indifferently. In the depths of his heart, there was irrepressible anger. How could he bear the anger of having to bear the price of his main body being blown up? He couldn¡¯t, so he had to make Qin Chen and the others pay the price! If he wanted to kill Qin Chen, he couldn¡¯t use force. He could only use his wits. After all, Qin Chen was no ordinary cultivator. He and his companions had extremely powerful techniques and extreme emperor weapons. The normal method of fighting them head-on would not work, so the black stone golem could only set up a trap and plot against Qin Chen and the others step by step to kill them. Qin Chen and the others¡¯ encounter with the war beast was also the black stone golem¡¯s arrangement. He lured the war beast over, and as expected, Qin Chen and the war beast started fighting. The final result was just as the black stone golem had expected. The war beast had been destroyed. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t take the initiative to face them head-on. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Qin Chen in an instant. It should be known that this was his only body left. If this body was destroyed, it would not be so easy for him to recover. The black stone golem had nurtured this body since it was young, which was why it could be used by him now. It would be extremely difficult for him to nurture another body from the beginning. Right now, the black stone golem was staring at Qin Chen and the others from afar. He could see that Qin Chen and the others seemed to be looking for something. Since that was the case, he would have many opportunities to make a move. Then, he turned around and left, tearing open the space, and crossing the void. ¡°Master has set up many traps. As long as I can trick them into it, they will die without a burial ground.¡± That being said, Qin Chen and the others were not so easily deceived now. Since they had been deceived by the black stone golem once, they would not be so easily fooled now. If they fell into the same trap, then wouldn¡¯t they appear too stupid? As the black stone golem left, he racked his brain for ways to lure Qin Chen and the others into the trap. The many killing calamities would definitely be able to kill Qin Chen and the others. He had already used the war beast to test them. Qin Chen¡¯s strength seemed to have been greatly reduced and he was no longer as strong as before. Perhaps this was the best opportunity for him to make a move on them. As long as he could kill Qin Chen, the rest of those underlings would not be able to escape from his palm. He had countless ways to kill them. And now, Qin Chen and the rest naturally didn¡¯t notice that the black stone golem had already returned and was scheming against them. It hadn¡¯t been easy for the black stone golem to find the traces of Qin Chen and the others. He had paid a considerable price to find the whereabouts of Qin Chen and the others. However, it was fortunate that they were in the cosmic, where the master of the black stone golem had left behind many killing traps. It would be a piece of cake to use those killing traps against Qin Chen and the others. They were simply far from qualified to escape the fate of being a chess piece. Thinking of this, the black stone golem roared with laughter. In front of him was an ancient planet with a powerful aura. Chapter 391 - 391 Emperor Lost Planet 391 Emperor Lost Planet Some terrifying existence seemed to be sealed here, roaring continuously, shattering the void layer by layer. It looked as if some heaven-defying creature was hiding inside. It was enough to imagine how terrifying it would be if something really happened. At the thought of this, Qin Chen looked into the distance. They had noticed that there was a powerful fluctuation coming from the front. They didn¡¯t know what was going on, so they slowly led the group over. They followed Qin Chen and quickly noticed the unusual aura. This aura was extremely terrifying, making one wonder what kind of existence could emit it! And now, this terrifying being was on the ancient planet. It seemed like this ancient planet also had life. It was a pity that there were only a few living beings left in the area they were looking at. The ancient planet seemed to have really become a dead land. Only this ancient planet was emitting such terrifying pressure. What was going on? Qin Chen was quite surprised. Could it be that the terrifying existence on this ancient planet had killed all the living beings here? It didn¡¯t look like it. What exactly had happened? If he wanted to know the truth, Qin Chen had to go and see what was going on on this ancient planet. Everyone nodded and decided to follow him. Their strength had increased greatly and they were already very powerful. They should not be in any danger even if they went to the ancient planet to take a look. Anyway, even if there was danger, there was still Qin Chen and Holy Maiden Mu Xue, right? The combination of the two was extremely terrifying. The big scorpion nodded and said, ¡°In my opinion, there must be a lot of treasures on the ancient planet. Elder King, let¡¯s go and get them quickly!¡± At this point, Qin Chen could not help but want to punch the big scorpion. All this time, the big scorpion¡¯s head was only full of desire for treasures. He seemed to be uninterested in anything else. If not for the fact that he could obtain many treasures and opportunities by following Qin Chen, the big scorpion would probably be unwilling to tag along. After that, the group arrived in front of the ancient planet. The ancient planet looked extremely desolate as if there were no living creatures on it. Yet, such an ancient planet was emitting a terrifying aura. The aura was so powerful that even Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was a top existence among the Great Gods, felt pressured. The intuition of cultivators was very strong, and it was telling them that there was a high possibility of danger ahead. Qin Chen immediately took the lead and activated his Chaotic Divine Body. The terrifying rules and order of chaos circulated on his body. He held the awakened innate sword embryo in his hand and released a terrifying emperor¡¯s might that permeated forward. Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the big scorpion followed behind Qin Chen. They soon entered the ancient planet. When they landed on the ancient planet, the gaze that had been secretly sizing them up in the void appeared. The black stone golem put his hands behind his back and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Soon, I will see all of you die a tragic death on the Emperor Lost Planet.¡± This ancient planet was also one of the means left behind by the black stone golem¡¯s master. With all of these fatal traps gathered, even a God-realm expert would not be able to withstand the catastrophic danger, let alone an ordinary cultivator. This time, he had lured Qin Chen and the others into a trap once again. Now that the strength of Qin Chen¡¯s party had been greatly reduced since they were without Prince Zhan and Supreme Sage Qin Tian, it was a good time for him to make a move. If he let this opportunity go, the black stone golem had no confidence in killing Qin Chen the next time he appeared. After all, Qin Chen was able to surprise him every time. If the other party was allowed to run, losing this one-in-a-million chance would very likely cause the black stone golem to regret. When Qin Chen and the rest landed on the ancient planet, a shocking aura burst out from the ancient planet. It shocked them, and even the aura of the extreme emperor weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was weakened. From this, one could see how powerful and terrifying the existence on this ancient planet was. Qin Chen¡¯s brows furrowed as he realized that the ground beneath their feet had cracked open, and lava was constantly gushing out. Their expressions abruptly changed as they retreated and pulled away. God knows what kind of terrifying existence was underground. Qin Chen and the rest had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they still looked down vigilantly, wondering if there was a terrifying creature underground. This ancient planet was clearly dead, so why was the terrifying existence still willing to stay here? Qin Chen had a bad premonition, though it came and went quickly. He kept looking around, but it was empty. There were no other fluctuations. In his heart, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but wonder if he was overthinking it. At this moment, the boiling hot lava on the ancient planet slowly flowed out, burning and scorching the surface of the ground. It looked like a scene from purgatory. There were no living creatures here, and everything was desolate. Qin Chen and the rest looked underground, extending their spiritual wills down, wanting to see what was below. In the end, they did not find anything! There seemed to be something below the ground devouring their spiritual wills. It was too eerie! Qin Chen was quite disappointed that this ancient planet was not one of the remaining five locations of the seven coordinates that they were looking for. He felt a little disappointed at the thought. God knows when he would be able to find the remaining five places of the seven coordinates. Then, the ground suddenly trembled, and countless rocks began to float. A terrifying aura reverberated in the surroundings. It seemed to be slowly devouring the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth! When Qin Chen and the others saw this, they knew that something was wrong. It seemed like this ancient planet had changed. Could it be that it was trying to kill them? There was still some kind of powerful creature on this ancient planet. Just by sensing its aura, Qin Chen and the others could tell that something was wrong. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was a top expert in the Great God realm, frowned. In other words, there must be some kind of power that they could not resist on this terrifying ancient planet. Immediately, the big scorpion had thoughts of retreating. He wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. He did not want to lose his life here. One had to know that he had come from the ten lands just to search for treasures, and not to give his treasures to others. He wasn¡¯t that magnanimous. ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s leave quickly. We shouldn¡¯t stay here for long,¡± The big scorpion advised Qin Chen, ¡°If we leave now, we can still escape!¡± Chapter 392 - 392 Huge Palm 392 Huge Palm However, Qin Chen shook his head and continued, ¡°I have a feeling that as long as we can suppress this ancient planet, we will definitely be able to find supreme treasures!¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion¡¯s heart trembled, and his determination to leave wavered. How could he be unwilling to get more opportunities and treasures? There was nothing that could tempt the big scorpion more than treasures and opportunities. He had to become more powerful and step into the God realm as soon as possible. After all, he was still too weak now, being only at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. Currently, he was still unable to help the Elder King. If he became an expert, he would definitely be able to share the Elder King¡¯s burden. When he thought of this, the big scorpion nodded. ¡°Elder King, we have to be careful though.¡± Then, the big scorpion scuttled to hide behind Qin Chen, and the latter could not help but sigh. Suddenly, something seemed to be about to drill out of the ground. The ground was torn apart, and a thousand-mile crack appeared. An arm, which was still stained with magma, suddenly reached out, grabbing at Qin Chen and the rest. If they were caught, they would probably be skinned even if they didn¡¯t die! ¡°Retreat! Quick!¡± Qin Chen immediately shouted at the others. They quickly backed away, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they kept their distance. God knows what kind of creature this giant claw was, but it looked extremely terrifying. If they were caught by those claws, it would definitely not feel good. ¡°Everyone, be careful,¡± Qin Chen said solemnly, ¡°There might be an existence on this ancient planet that we can¡¯t resist!¡± Everyone was extremely cautious. The terrifying pressure was simply alarming. They couldn¡¯t imagine just how powerful the existence here was. Such a terrifying ancient planet made Holy Maiden Mu Xue feel a deep sense of apprehension. Then, she seemed to have sensed something and looked at the ground. The ground was shaking violently! That palm was constantly extending outwards as if it was about to fully emerge. At this moment, a strong fluctuation suddenly rippled in the surroundings, and the void was actually sealed! Immediately, a bad premonition rose in everyone¡¯s hearts. They looked over, and sure enough, they found that they were trapped in an array! ¡°Another array!¡± They were now trapped inside an array that had the ancient planet as its center, unable to leave! The surrounding void had been sealed, leaving them no way to tear the void apart and teleport away! Qin Chen smiled bitterly and couldn¡¯t help but question, ¡°What in the world is the being on the ancient planet that needs to be sealed by an array that uses the whole planet? ¡± Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue felt a considerable amount of pressure. Then suddenly, she rushed toward Qin Chen. The reason was simple. Before the latter had noticed it, the giant hand suddenly came slapping down on him at an extreme speed! It had already reached Qin Chen before the void began to shatter due to its extreme speed! In an instant, Qin Chen felt as if the god of death had descended, sending out a fatal danger signal. Fortunately, Holy Maiden Mu Xue managed to save him by a hair¡¯s breadth. After being saved, Qin Chen felt as if he had been hit as he stood dazed on the spot and gasping for breath. The attack just now was too terrifying. The place where he had been just now had already turned into a huge pit with a diameter of a hundred miles! If he had still been there, he would not have been able to withstand such a terrifying blow even with his Chaotic Divine Body. Qin Chen was feeling quite fearful. How could the existence on this ancient planet be so terrifying? If it was stronger, it would probably be comparable to the imposing figure that had been chained in the small world. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was also severely injured. She had been slapped on her back while trying to save Qin Chen, and her backbones were thus broken, making her vomit blood. Qin Chen fed Holy Maiden Mu Xue some holy healing medicine, then looked at the huge palm. He believed that there must be a reason for the attack. The creature sealed on the ancient planet couldn¡¯t possibly just attack them randomly. Then, he looked around. Sure enough, he saw a figure in a corner outside the array. The figure¡¯s eyes were so familiar that Qin Chen felt that he must have seen the other party somewhere before. Following this, he realized that the figure was the black stone golem. In an instant, Qin Chen finally understood what was going on! To think they had once again unknowingly stepped into the trap set up by the black stone golem. If this continued, they would probably die very soon. After all, the array this time was far more terrifying than the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array that the black stone golem had used last time. Even if Qin Chen used all of his strength, he would not be able to resist the other party now. As if he was facing a great enemy, Qin Chen¡¯s body seemed to be boiling as his Chaotic Divine Body circulated. He looked at the huge palm that emerged from the ground in front of him and said to the big scorpion and Yuji, ¡°Hurry up and hide.¡± After all, they were not as strong as him. He had an extreme emperor weapon, so he might not necessarily die even if he faced the underground creature, but death was a real threat to the big scorpion and Yuji. After all, they did not have any self-protection techniques. And this time, not only was Supreme Sage Qin Tian not by their side, but even Prince Zhan was not around. Qin Chen had also left the white jade celestial bell in the Taiyi Holy Land. Now, he only had one extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo. Facing such a deadly threat, even he seemed uneasy. Now, everyone had once again fallen into the black stone golem¡¯s trap. The black stone golem was really like a ghost that refused to leave. Qin Chen looked out of the array. In the distance, the figure¡¯s eyes were the same as the black stone golem¡¯s eyes, and his body seemed to be covered in black stones. Sure enough, the other party had managed to reconstruct his body after escaping. It seemed that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was right. The black stone golem¡¯s origin wasn¡¯t simple. His master must be a heaven-defying existence. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to come up with so many schemes. Qin Chen believed that it would not take long for him to destroy the black stone golem if the latter was alone. But unfortunately, the black stone golem was very good at scheming and had many hidden traps left for him by his master. In this way, even if Qin Chen broke through to the God realm, he might not be a match for the other party. He might even be plotted against. Qin Chen¡¯s heart sank when he thought of this. The creature on the ancient planet did not seem to be easy to deal with. How powerful was it? Qin Chen swallowed the only drop of divine dragon blood essence he had left, and instantly feel his body begin to heat up. Chapter 393 - 393 Heavenly Emperors Soul Weapon, Chaos Divine Ring 393 Heavenly Emperor¡¯s Soul Weapon, Chaos Divine Ring Countless powers began to surge in his body. Qin Chen could feel an inexhaustible divine power surging in his meridians! He poured all his divine power into the innate sword embryo, and with that, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying aura. The shocking emperor¡¯s might shook the ancient planet. Facing the huge palm, Qin Chen moved again, instantly cutting through the void. By the time the palm was already in front of him, it hit the innate sword embryo, and only then did the void begin to crack along the trajectory. This showed how terrifying the creature suppressed under the ancient planet was. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t even seen what the other party looked like. With just one giant hand, the other party was suppressing him to the point where he could not fight back at all. In an instant, Qin Chen was sent flying. The innate sword embryo in his hand only managed to leave a small wound on the huge palm. With such an insane defense and powerful attack, the huge palm was simply invincible. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue, a top expert in the Great God realm, was no match for it. If this went on, they would very likely die here. Qin Chen suddenly heard a voice in his mind. It was the system¡¯s voice. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] ¡°Check-in!¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. He had never thought that he would be able to check in on this ancient planet. [Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked into the land where the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor proved his Dao. You have obtained the Chaos Divine Ring!] [Chaos Divine Ring: The soul weapon of an ancient great emperor. It contains the Great Path of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It has the power to kill the souls of beings below the quasi-emperor realm. It is extremely rare. However, the host¡¯s soul power will be consumed upon usage. The more powerful the host¡¯s soul power is, the more power the Chaos Divine Ring can unleash.] What? The Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s soul weapon?! One must know that this was a treasure no inferior to an extreme emperor weapon. Logically speaking, the soul weapon was a weapon that focused on delivering soul attacks and should have been gone with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor long ago. How did he manage to get it through checking in? Extreme emperor weapons were the best of all weapons, while the heavenly emperors¡¯ soul weapons were also the best among all soul magic items. Qin Chen¡¯s entire body trembled. He had never thought that he would actually obtain such a terrifying treasure! Now that he had the Chaos Divine Ring, he should be able to deal with the giant palm on the ancient planet! Qin Chen could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He had never thought that he would be able to obtain something left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor! Following this, a round golden ring appeared in front of Qin Chen. In just a moment, Qin Chen could feel the power of the soul weapon. Although he could not touch it, the moment the golden ring entered his mind, it almost crushed his soul. ¡°So this is a soul weapon?¡± Qin Chen gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Finally, the Chaos Divine Ring established a spiritual connection with Qin Chen. In other words, he could now use this treasure that was no weaker than an extreme emperor weapon. Qin Chen felt that it was already very difficult for him to establish a connection with the heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon, the Chaos Divine Ring. If he wanted to activate the powerful weapon, he would definitely have to pay a great price. However, now that things had come to this, he could only give it a try. After all, the terrifying creature on this ancient planet had yet to unleash its full strength. Once it did, they would most likely die here. With that, Qin Chen wanted to activate the Chaos Divine Ring. It was no ordinary treasure, but a weapon that was not weaker than an extreme emperor weapon! This should have been something that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had refined himself. Given the weapon¡¯s testifying power, it was already extremely strenuous for Qin Chen to establish a slight connection with it. From this, it could be seen that activating the Chaos Divine Ring required extremely strong spiritual power. Qin Chen clenched his jaw and activated the Chaos Divine Ring. In an instant, he felt as if something had been taken away from his body. Qin Chen tried his best not to close his eyes. He was on the verge of being unable to hold on any longer. However, he still persevered and attacked the terrifying creature on the ancient planet. The giant palm seemed to have sensed the danger and immediately condensed a light screen on its hand, blocking Qin Chen¡¯s incoming attack. It was a pity that the creature did not expect Qin Chen to already have the Chaos Divine Ring. Furthermore, the Chaos Divine Ring was extremely terrifying. It was a treasure that was not weaker than an extreme emperor weapon. Although it could not be touched, it could be seen! In an instant, the golden divine ring appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand and turned into a scorching light. It seemed to pierce through the sky as it shoot directly at the terrifying creature on the ground. In just an instant, the light screen was broken, and the huge palm seemed to be unable to withstand this terrifying power. The earth shook. Following this, the body of the terrifying creature buried underground on the planet was revealed. Everyone held their breath when they saw it. It was a huge human! Not only did the creature look like a human, but it also seemed to possess some other bloodlines. Otherwise, it would not have such a huge body. It raised its hand and tried its best to block the terrifying golden light, but the Chaos Divine Ring simply turned into a sharp light and pierced through its head! With that, the terrifying creature on the ancient planet lost all its strength in an instant. It knelt on the ground with a loud thud and fell, causing the ground to shake. Just the aura such a terrifying existence exuded was enough to terrify everyone. But now, to think that the ring that was suddenly thrown out by the Elder King would be so terrifying! It was able to knock down the powerful and terrifying creature that was trapped on the ancient planet! Holy Maiden Mu Xue noticed that this was not power that Qin Chen could have unleashed. After all, this terrifying creature should be above the Great God realm. Even she might not have been able to survive at his hands. As such, how could she not be surprised to see Qin Chen killing the creature? In an instant, she flew to Qin Chen¡¯s side. The golden light pierced through the creature¡¯s head and flew back into Qin Chen¡¯s body, disappearing. There were no wounds on the terrifying creature¡¯s body, but it had lost consciousness. It looked as if it had died. No one dared to get close to the creature, as they couldn¡¯t tell if the terrifying creature would still bring them danger. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power had been drained, and he fell to the ground with a plop, looking as if he was about to die. Chapter 394 - 394 Divine Yang Array 394 Divine Yang Array Qin Chen seemed to have completely lost consciousness. The most important thing for Qin Chen now was to recover his spiritual power. Otherwise, he would not be able to wake up. Just by activating the Chaos Divine Ring just now, a lot of his spiritual power had been drained. The consumption of spiritual power could not be controlled. The Chaos Divine Ring had drained him empty, and Qin Chen could not stop it at all, which resulted in his current state of being limp on the ground. The black stone golem outside the array seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He was extremely furious, ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± He watched as the terrifying existence on the ancient planet collapsed! One must know that Qin Chen was a very weak human cultivator who was only at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. How could he be a match for the terrifying existence that was already above the Great God realm? Furthermore, he did not even use the extreme emperor weapon. Could something unexpected have happened again? Killing intent rose in the black stone golem¡¯s Heart. This won¡¯t do. This time, he had to kill Qin Chen. This was the easiest and closest he was to killing Qin Chen. He was only a step away from succeeding. In an instant, he took out a stone talisman and crushed it. The ancient planet then began to shake, and countless powers of the array emerged, instantly draining all the energy in the ancient planet and turning it into a land of death! With that, life was impossible on the planet. The boundless life power turned into energy that supported the array. This array was originally only able to seal the void and prevent Qin Chen and the others from escaping. But now, it had changed into a killing array. Although the power of this killing array was not very strong, far from being as powerful as the Omnipresent Heaven Shadowing Array, it should still be able to pose a significant threat to Qin Chen and the others. Whether or not the black stone golem could kill Qin Chen would depend on this. The black stone golem placed his hands behind his back and stood outside the array, looking at the array which had the ancient planet as its core. It was almost impossible to break the array and leave. To break the array with force, one had to be in a realm that was even more powerful than the terrifying creature on the ancient planet. As such, it was basically impossible to break the array and get out alive, because the array core was in the ancient planet. If one wanted to break the array, one would have to penetrate the ancient planet. Unfortunately, they wouldn¡¯t have the chance to do so. This was because It was not easy to penetrate the ancient planet. With the power of the array, even though the ancient planet had long lost its life force and all its energy was being extracted to support the killing array, the planet had also become extremely hard and indestructible. Even if Qin Chen and the others used all their skills, they might not be able to break the planet. This was the black stone golem¡¯s true trap. He was able to attempt to kill Qin Chen and the others with just this move. If he could kill Qin Chen this easily, he would not have to continue chasing after them. It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t take revenge with his own hands. The black stone golem clenched his fist and could only watch from outside the array. Now that the array was in operation, the killing array burst out with countless killing intent, which made Yuji and the big scorpion¡¯s hearts tremble with fear. They didn¡¯t know what was going on, but Holy Maiden Mu Xue did. It was a pity that Qin Chen had completely passed out, and the killing array had started to operate. Now that she was seriously injured, it would be even more difficult for her to resist the array. Holy Maiden Mu Xue walked over, looked at Qin Chen, and held the innate sword embryo in her hand. Now, she had no other choice but to activate the innate sword embryo. There was only one way to survive, and that was to let Holy Maiden Mu Xue recover her strength as soon as possible. Only after she recovered her strength would she have the hope of finding an escape route for everyone. Yuji held the innate sword embryo and silently communicated with the weapon God inside, ¡°Senior, please¡­¡± Then, she poured all her divine power into the innate sword embryo. In an instant, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying aura and a shocking emperor¡¯s might, pressing forward! At this moment, the killing array also unleashed all its attacks, and countless rays of light shot toward the crowd. If they were hit, it was very likely that their bodies would be penetrated. Fortunately, Yuji had already activated the innate sword embryo, which could withstand the attack for a while. She quickly told Holy Maiden Mu Xue to recover. Only after the latter recovered would they have a chance to escape from this array. Otherwise, they would ultimately die here. Seeing Yuji¡¯s determination, Holy Maiden Mu Xue nodded and began to devour a drop of the divine Dragon blood essence. This was the first time she had devoured the divine dragon blood essence. She was reluctant to refine the two drops that Qin Chen had given her, but now she had no choice. The divine dragon blood essence had very powerful healing abilities. If she wanted to recover quickly, she must use it. Soon after, Holy Maiden Mu Xue could feel the injuries on her body healing. The broken bones on her back were being repaired as power gathered in her body. If it wasn¡¯t for the urgency of the situation, she would have refined the divine dragon blood essence after devouring it, and that may have given her the chance to break through again. Unfortunately, time was running out, and the situation did not allow it. She could only use all her strength to recover from her injuries. Otherwise, Yuji wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for too long by herself. Thinking of this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue accelerated the refining speed. A powerful life force was constantly exuding from her body. As expected of the divine dragon blood essence that was worthy of being the blood essence of a divine beast. In an instant, Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s injuries were healed by 60%. She should be able to fully recover soon. At that time, she would be able to try to break the array. While recovering, she took a glance at Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were tightly closed as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. No matter how they called him, he would not wake up. She had to protect Qin Chen. The terrifying killing array burst out with endless attacks. Yuji held the innate sword embryo and kept slashing out sword energy, trying to block these attacks. However, she was still hit by accident. Injuries soon appeared on her body, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The big scorpion could not help at all. He did not have any means to resist the terrifying attacks. He could only watch helplessly. The black stone golem laughed. He was excited to see all this. These human cultivators were going to die soon. After all, this was the Divine Yang Array. They had yet to witness the true might of the Divine Yang Array. Chapter 395 - 395 Blood Evil Talisman 395 Blood Evil Talisman Yuji was soon covered with cuts and bruises, and she looked as if she could not hold on any longer. The big scorpion helped Qin Chen up, but the latter did not have the strength to move as he was still unconscious. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was quite anxious. Seeing Yuji fighting with all her might, she naturally wanted to recover as soon as possible. Only after she recovered could they try to break the array and leave. This was, after all, an array with an ancient planet as its core. It was definitely no ordinary array. The fact that this array was able to suppress that terrifying creature was a testament to its power. The black stone golem outside the array laughed. He quietly watched the changes in the Divine Yang Array. The Divine Yang Array worked as a restraining array, but its attack power was also extremely powerful. Otherwise, the terrifying existence sealed on the ancient planet would have long escaped. There was almost no sign of life on the ancient planet. It was deathly silent. Now that the Divine Yang Array was activated, it exploded with a shocking power that cracked the void. In the eyes of the crowd, streaks of the terrifying array power had appeared and were attacking them. One must know that this was no ordinary energy, but attacks from the great array! An ordinary person would have died by now, but Yuji was still holding onto the innate sword embryo and activating the extreme emperor weapon with all her might. The emperor¡¯s might that burst out from the weapon was terrifying, blocking the attacks from the array. However, she was only a God-realm cultivator, after all, and she did not have an invincible Divine Body like Qin Chen. The divine power in her body was gradually drying up, and Yuji finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. With a cry, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her aura was weak, and her face was pale. At the same time, the attacks of the Divine Yang Array intensified! Countless attacks were launched. An ordinary person would have long been killed. Only extreme emperor weapons could withstand such fierce attacks. They still had a long way to go before they could leave. Following this, the terrifying attacks landed on Yuji¡¯s body. Even with the innate sword embryo in her hand, Yuji was still sent flying, and the innate sword embryo in her hand fell to the ground. Then, another attack was about to land. This attack seemed different from the other attacks. It exuded a terrifying aura that could make people feel that death was about to descend! Yuji felt that she couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. Was she going to die soon? However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked the attack. It was Holy Maiden Mu Xue! At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body had almost fully recovered, which meant that she could fight now. Then, she retrieved the innate sword embryo that had fallen to the ground. As soon as she held the innate sword embryo in her hand, she could feel the difference between this extreme emperor weapon and the others. If Qin Chen were to activate it, it would be able to unleash an even greater power. It was a pity that he was still too weak and had already fallen into a coma. To activate this extreme emperor weapon, more energy had to be poured into it. With that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue lifted the innate sword embryo with one hand. Then, she looked at the increasing number of light attacks that were falling like meteors. The streaks of light were extremely sharp. If they landed on any of them, they would definitely blast a huge hole in their bodies. Therefore, she must not allow the attacks to hurt Qin Chen. Following this, she slashed out with the sword. Countless terrifying auras emerged from the innate sword embryo, and the chaotic emperor¡¯s might spread out, suppressing the light attacks that were about to fall. In an instant, most of the light rays were cut and dissipated. Holy Maiden Mu Xue turned to look at Qin Chen. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she said in her heart, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave the rest to me.¡± Qin Chen, whose spiritual power had been sucked dry by the Chaos Divine Ring, had no signs of waking up. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and God knows when he would wake up. This time, he had overdrawn his primordial spirit. However, with Holy Maiden Mu Xue around, there shouldn¡¯t be any major problems. After all, she was a top expert in the Great God realm. With an extreme emperor weapon in hand, she should not be any weaker than that terrifying creature. The ancient planet had already been turned into an array that trapped everyone inside. Holy Maiden Mu Xue kept slashing out sword energy that shuttled back and forth in the void, blocking many of the restriction attacks. The powers of the array could not hit her at all. She stood in front of Qin Chen, the big scorpion, and Yuji. While she was fighting, she also managed to divert some of her attention to observe the array, pondering about how to break it. If they couldn¡¯t break it, they might die here. The black stone golem was still outside the Divine Sun Array. When he saw that the Divine Sun Array couldn¡¯t do anything to Qin Chen and the others, he felt quite enraged. This was the best opportunity for him to kill Qin Chen. In the past, every time he had the chance, there would be an unexpected change. This should be the best opportunity because Qin Chen had already passed out, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while. If he didn¡¯t wake up, it meant that he was in danger. It seemed that Qin Chen had paid a heavy price to exterminate that terrifying existence. The black stone golem didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen¡¯s followers to still put up a stubborn resistance even though things have come to this. When he thought of this, a fire rose in his heart, and he wanted to kill Qin Chen immediately. Unfortunately, the current situation seemed to be different from what he had expected. Holy Maiden Mu Xue blocked the Divine Sun Array¡¯s attack with ease. This scene made the black stone golem feel quite defeated. It seemed that the Divine Sun Array was not enough. He took out another stone talisman, but its energy seemed to have been exhausted. There were no fluctuations. ¡°Damn it! To think the Blood Evil Talisman is not working.¡± The black stone golem threw the stone talisman away. The stone talisman exploded as if it had shattered. Suddenly, there was a fluctuation somewhere in the universe, and a monster covered in blood walked out. It instantly tore the space with its hands and entered the hole. Not long after, in the darkness, there was a sudden fluctuation behind the black stone golem. The sudden emergence of such a terrifying fluctuation caused him to be extremely apprehensive. Chapter 396 - 396 The Monster Covered in Blood 396 The Monster Covered in Blood When the black stone golem saw a monster covered in blood appear from the spatial fluctuation that tore open the void, he laughed crazily. He didn¡¯t expect that stone talisman to still be effective! He ordered the monster that was covered in blood, ¡°Go and slaughter them! Don¡¯t leave a single one of them alive!¡± The monster covered in blood did not seem to have any consciousness. It simply nodded like a puppet and charged toward the Divine Yang Array. Unfortunately, the Divine Yang Array was extremely sturdy, and it could not charge straight in. Since it couldn¡¯t get in, the monster covered in blood punched the array with all its might, and a hole appeared in the array. As time passed, the hole shrunk. Even so, this terrifying monster still had the power to break into the array by force! What a terrifying enemy! Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue felt that something was wrong. Fear bubbled in her heart, and she felt a fatal danger. She looked at the array and noticed that a monster covered in blood had broken the array with a punch, entering from the outside! When she saw the monster covered in blood, she felt as if she had seen something terrifying. Only she knew how terrifying the monster was! Just the aura it exuded had such terrifying power! Furthermore, it was so powerful! The Divine Yang Array was so solid, yet it had broken the array with one punch! From this, it could be seen how terrifying the power of this blood-covered monster was. It should be known that even she could not destroy this array with a casual punch. When the black stone golem saw this, he raised his head and roared with laughter. Right now, he was extremely excited. He didn¡¯t expect to be able to wake the monster up again. He was extremely excited. Then, he began to admire the scenes that played out in the array. The monster covered in blood seemed to be some kind of powerful existence. After it appeared, even the power of the array took the initiative to avoid it. It slowly walked toward Holy Maiden Mu Xue. The blood on its body seemed to be boiling, and its terrifying aura shocked everyone. Holy Maiden Mu Xue felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. It was as if she was looking at the imposing figure in the small world. Perhaps only that kind of existence could compete with this blood-covered monster! As soon as the blood-covered monster appeared, the blood on it started to boil as it walked toward Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Not only Holy Maiden Mu Xue, but Qin Chen, the big scorpion, and Yuji also felt that their blood was out of their control and was about to leave their bodies. What kind of strange cultivation technique was this? They speculated that the blood-covered monster must have cultivated some kind of evil secret technique to have such terrifying power, allowing it to control their blood. Fortunately, Qin Chen had already regained some consciousness. Perhaps it was because he felt a fatal threat, but when he opened his eyes, he felt a burst of pain in his head. It was as if he had been torn in half. Could this be the aftereffect of using the Chaos Divine Ring? It seemed that the Chaos Divine Ring could not be used casually. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Holy Maiden Mu Xue standing in front of him. Yuji was now seriously injured. The big scorpion helped Qin Chen up. The latter had a bad feeling. In front of them, there was a monster covered in blood. This monster only had two eyes that were filled with madness. It didn¡¯t even have a nose, mouth, or ears. Qin Chen felt as if his blood was out of his control and was flowing in reverse. He had never encountered something so eerie before. God knows what was going on. Since this strange monster was covered in blood, could it be that it had the ability to control blood energy or something along those lines? Moreover, this blood-covered monster might have even cultivated its techniques to a relatively profound realm, to the point it could actually control the blood of living creatures around it. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t imagine if the monster chose to kill them, could it possibly do it all with just a thought? Would it be able to control their blood and make them explode themselves? If that were the case, they would probably die without even knowing how. Seeing that Qin Chen had woken up, the big scorpion cried out in surprise. Everyone seemed to have found their mainstay. Facing this monster covered in blood, they simply didn¡¯t have the slightest confidence to fight against it. It should be known that the monster wasn¡¯t an ordinary existence. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly swallowed a few natural treasures that would help recover his spiritual power. His spiritual power was thus gradually restored. Then, he looked at the blood-covered monster. Was the monster going to attack them? The monster sauntered over. Wherever it went, the power of the array would avoid it. The closer it got to Qin Chen and the others, the more its blood boiled like it was ignited. The monster raised its hands, and a crack seemed to have appeared between its palms. Within the crack was an energy that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate. It seemed to be about to condense. Seeing this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with shock. Qin Chen hurried over and took the innate sword embryo from Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s hands. His activation of the innate sword embryo could unleash more power while consuming less divine power. At this point, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already consumed a lot of energy to activate the innate sword embryo. Since Qin Chen had woken up, he should be the one to do it. God knows if the innate sword embryo could withstand the blood-covered monster. After all, this monster was the most terrifying one he had ever seen. It could be considered to be on par with the imposing figure that had been chained up in that small world. Unfortunately, the blood-covered monster seemed to have lost its mind. It was like a puppet, looking like a killing machine that only knew how to kill. And at this moment, Qin Chen and the others were his prey. Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was unleashed. Although his spiritual power was still lacking, the divine power in his body was not affected by the boiling blood energy that was flowing backward. Qin Chen gulped nervously as he looked at this terrifying existence. He was not sure if he could withstand the other party¡¯s attack. Following this, the palm of the blood-covered monster emitted a red light. A ray of red light shot out from the monster¡¯s palms, and the light was like divine light that pierced through the sky as it shoot straight toward Qin Chen. This terrifying light had a powerful aura, and everyone couldn¡¯t help but hold their breath! Chapter 397 - 397 Unity of Man and Nature 397 Unity of Man and Nature At this moment, Qin Chen also let out a furious roar. He had to block the two divine lights. With that, he slashed out with the innate sword embryo. In an instant, the innate sword embryo burst out with endless emperor¡¯s might that condensed and charged forward as if it was going to destroy the world! At this moment, the tacit understanding between Qin Chen and the innate sword embryo had reached a peak. He could feel that he was the sword, and the sword was him. He was in a wonderful state of the unity of man and nature. One must know that it was not easy for a top-notch weapon like the extreme emperor weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to be able to display such tacit understanding with another. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s connection with the innate sword embryo had reached a level that no one could understand. They were a perfect combo! He could clearly sense the thoughts of the weapon God in the innate sword embryo, and the weapon God could sense the changes in Qin Chen¡¯s emotions. It was a profound realm of perfect harmony. In an instant, the weapon God sensed Qin Chen¡¯s anger and unleashed his terrifying power to the extreme. Qin Chen also transferred all the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo, and the combination of the two was even more powerful than before! He slashed toward the two red lights in front that were like two red dragons. With a thunderous roar, the two blood dragons condensed from the red lights charged at Qin Chen. As if they were alive, they dodged the sword energy of the innate sword embryo. Then, once again, they charged toward Qin Chen. Unfortunately, the latter had already reached a level of tacit understanding with the innate sword embryo. He struck out with his sword, and every strike had the same power as before. Rather, each strike was stronger than the previous one. The divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body was rapidly drained. At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue grabbed his wrist, leaving a black palm print on his wrist. Then, she let go and retreated quickly. In an instant, the energy in Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body was transformed into divine power through the black palm print before entering Qin Chen¡¯s body. With the support of Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s divine power, Qin Chen was fearless. The innate sword embryo in his hand continued to unleash extreme emperor¡¯s might, cutting open the void in front of him. Under the terrifying attack, one of the blood dragons formed from red light was split into two and turned into nothingness. The other blood dragon took the opportunity to appear behind Qin Chen, preparing to deal a fatal blow and leave a bloody hole. At that time, even if Qin Chen had heaven-defying power, he would not be able to save himself. At this moment, Qin Chen, who had sensed the danger coming from behind, immediately put the innate sword embryo on his back. The blood dragon was unable to dodge in time and instantly crashed into the innate sword embryo! Then, like ice melting, the blood dragon turned into nothingness at a speed visible to the naked eye! After killing the two red beams of light emitted by the blood-covered monster, Qin Chen did not dare to relax. He panted heavily and looked at the blood-covered monster in front of him. This monster covered in blood seemed to be interested in him and wanted to kill Qin Chen. But before that, it wanted to play with him, seemingly intending on giving him a torturous death. The two simply weren¡¯t in the same realm. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue didn¡¯t dare to say that she could defeat the enemy. Qin Chen¡¯s mind was frantically thinking about how he could break out of this situation. Looking at the monster covered in blood, which seemed to be coming at him again, Qin Chen¡¯s vigilance was at its peak and he quickly made defensive preparations. This terrifying blood-covered monster shot out another streak of red light. This time, the red light was like blood, and it rushed toward Qin Chen with a brutal aura! It was even more terrifying than the two streaks of red lights just now combined. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He looked at the blood-red light that rushed over, shattering the void layer by layer. Even the Divine Yang Array seemed to have stopped operating for a moment. One could see how terrifying the attack was! At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power had almost fully recovered. He wondered if he could use the Chaos Divine Ring again. The soul weapon was extremely terrifying. Almost at the same time as the attack was released, Qin Chen¡¯s soul power would be drained, and he would instantly faint. He had used it once before, but he wasn¡¯t sure if a soul weapon would be effective against the array. They had to seize the time to break this array, only then would they have a chance to live. After all, he could feel that the blood-covered monster in front of him did not seem to want to kill him directly. If the other party was serious, it was very likely that he would die in an instant. Before that happened, Qin Chen looked to the side and saw the power of the array flowing beside him. He had a premonition that unless he used the innate sword embryo to unleash the most powerful attack in his current state, he would not be able to break the array. Other than this method, the only other method was to use the Chaos Divine Ring to see if the array could be broken. The Chaos Divine Ring was, after all, a soul weapon. It was no weaker than an extreme emperor weapon and quite powerful. Qin Chen determined that he could take a risk. He sent a voice transmission to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, telling her to prepare to tear the space. Once Qin Chen tore the array apart, she should be able to tear the space and cross the void. Therefore, he asked Holy Maiden Mu Xue to make preparations in advance. He was planning to first resist the blood-like light coming toward him, then, use the Chaos Divine Ring to break the array. By doing so, he might be able to fight for a chance of survival for everyone. The black stone golem outside the array seemed to have a bad premonition. Unfortunately, he could only wait at this point. Based on the power of that terrifying blood-covered monster, it would not take much effort for it to kill Qin Chen and the others. All he needed to do was wait for the results. At this moment, the terrifying blood-like light had arrived before Qin Chen and was shooting straight at him. It reached in an instant! Qin Chen only used his instinct to swing his sword, only to send himself flying. He did not expect this attack to be so terrifying! To think the impact was so great! Qin Chen was instantly smashed to the ground, and a huge pit with a radius of a hundred miles was instantly created on the ancient planet by the impact. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately slashed out with all his might. At this moment, he was going to release the most powerful attack he could muster with the innate sword embryo to block the blood-like light. In an instant, his aura rose to its peak and he slashed out! Chapter 398 - 398 Escape 398 Escape The blood-like light met the sword energy released by Qin Chen. The sword energy only managed to offset the light before being exhausted and disappearing. The blood-covered monster seemed to be surprised, but this also made it more interested in Qin Chen. It wanted to see what kind of power its prey could unleash. However, at this moment, Qin Chen simply smiled and sent a voice transmission to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, ¡°Prepare to tear open space and cross the void!¡± Then, a golden light suddenly bloomed from his body. It was as if the golden light was flying out of his body, and even the bloody monster could not help but stop its attack. The black stone golem outside also noticed this golden light, which made him feel extreme fear. It was as if he was facing something he couldn¡¯t resist, and he quickly retreated. No matter what, Qin Chen was doomed. To think he was now using his trump card, the same attack that had killed the terrifying existence on the ancient planet just now. Was he really confident that he could defeat the blood-covered monster? After this attack, it would be Qin Chen¡¯s death. However, this attack didn¡¯t go as the blood-covered monster and black stone golem expected. Instead, it was aimed at the space behind Qin Chen! It instantly bombarded the array! With that, the terrifying golden light had torn a huge hole in the array! As a result, it was as if the array had been split in half and the power of the array exploded inch by inch, causing the void to tremble! At this moment, the array was thus connected to the outside world! Seeing this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue tore the void apart and pushed Yuji, who was severely injured, out. The big scorpion supported Yuji and quickly entered the torn space. At the same time, Qin Chen lost consciousness and was limp in the pit. Holy Maiden Mu Xue quickly grabbed his wrist and rushed towards the crack in the void with all her speed! At the last moment, they managed to enter the crack. Following this, the crack in the void closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye as if it had never appeared. The blood-covered monster was furious, feeling that it had been toyed with. It hurriedly launched another attack, which bombarded the space. Unfortunately, the space had already closed up. Even if a new spatial rift was torn open, they could no longer find any traces of Qin Chen and the others. Seeing the array being cut in half, the black stone golem¡¯s heart beat wildly. Fortunately, this attack did not land on him. If it had, even if he had been at his peak, he would not have been able to withstand the attack. What kind of attack was this? He had never seen Qin Chen use it before. Then, he watched as the space was torn apart and spatial fluctuations rippled, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart. He saw Yuji and the big scorpion enter the spatial crack, followed by Holy Maiden Mu Xue who was supporting Qin Chen. ¡°No!¡± He instinctively rushed over and wanted to stop them, but it was too late. The crack in the void closed up with a bang. Even though the blood-covered monster unleashed an attack on the void in the next second, the situation could not be remedied. Qin Chen and the others had escaped again, right under his nose! The black stone golem had paid such a huge price to summon the blood-covered monster, but it was useless. He still couldn¡¯t kill Qin Chen and the others. Instead, he had allowed the other party to escape again. In an instant, a strong sense of unwillingness gushed out from his heart! This had clearly been the best chance to kill Qin Chen, so why did he fail? The black stone golem was furious. However, the one who was even more enraged was the blood-covered monster. It seemed to have gone crazy as it pierced through the ancient planet. The body of the terrifying existence was still on the ancient planet, but it was torn apart by the blood-red monster and fused with its own. Such was the blood-covered monster. The most terrifying thing about it was that it could devour all living things for its own use. Seeing this, no matter how unwilling the black stone golem was, it could only give up. Now that Qin Chen was seriously injured, he had to quickly find the other party¡¯s whereabouts and kill them. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, it was very likely that the other party would become extremely powerful again. The whole situation made the black stone golem feel extremely troubled. The current Qin Chen was becoming stronger and stronger. Even the black stone golem could not imagine how such a monstrous genius could grow so fast, to the point it would make him feel troubled. If he had gone all out to kill Qin Chen the first time they had met, how could all this have happened? One false step leads to another. A monstrous genius like Qin Chen should not have existed in this world. But now that Qin Chen and the others had left, the black stone golem had no choice. To find Qin Chen and the others fast, he could only use the means left behind by his master to find their whereabouts. This time, Qin Chen only had one extreme emperor weapon. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Earlier, when he had fought with Qin Chen, those human cultivators had four extreme emperor weapons. This time, however, there was only one. Yet, the black stone golem couldn¡¯t even grasp such a great opportunity that could be considered one in ten thousand. This was what made him regret it. He was burning with fury and wanted to find Qin Chen before killing him. As long as Qin Chen was still alive, the black stone golem would not be able to relax. After all, based on the other party¡¯s terrifying cultivation speed, it would not be long before he would not be able to suppress him. Indeed, the black stone golem was currently no longer Qin Chen¡¯s opponent. He needed to rely on the various plans and schemes left behind by his master to deal with Qin Chen. It was a pity that Qin Chen did not seem to be a chess piece on his master¡¯s chessboard. This small variable should not have been a big deal, but the black stone golem¡¯s heart inexplicably rose with worry. No variable could be underestimated. Therefore, he had to get rid of Qin Chen as soon as possible so that his master¡¯s chess game could continue. At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the void, and Qin Chen and the others appeared. They were all exhausted and injured, except for the big scorpion. They were now in a corner of the star field, where no large stars could be seen, only countless meteorites. Chapter 399 - 399 Ancient Tree of Life 399 Ancient Tree of Life Holy Maiden Mu Xue found the largest meteorite and landed on it. Everyone rested on the huge meteorite. A pair of eyes seemed to be staring at them. Holy Maiden Mu Xue noticed it, but she didn¡¯t show it. She pretended that nothing was going on. She thought about it and guessed that it was probably an expert of a powerful cosmic race in the universe who was wandering around and accidentally bumped into them. As long as the other party was not an expert in the same realm as her, there was nothing to worry about. Therefore, Holy Maiden Mu Xue simply set up an array in the surroundings to cover their aura. Otherwise, if the other party noticed that they were already seriously injured, they might be bold enough to launch an attack on them. It would bring some trouble. They didn¡¯t know where they were, but they started devouring natural treasures to recover from their injuries. At the same time, Qin Chen seemed to have slowly fallen into a quiet place. God knows what he had seen, but his heart was palpitating. It was as if something was staring at him, making him feel uneasy. What was going on? Where was he now? Qin Chen only knew that he seemed to have lost consciousness. After using the Chaos Divine Ring, he had fallen limp into the huge pit. So where was he now? He felt a sharp pain in his head. When he looked around, there was nothing. He couldn¡¯t even see himself. It was as if he was only a thought. Then, the Chaos Divine Ring suddenly appeared out of thin air, shocking Qin Chen. Could all this be the work of the Chaos Divine Ring? But what did it want to do? Qin Chen seemed to have sensed that there should be an existence similar to a weapon God in the Chaos Divine Ring. After all, a heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon was equivalent to an extreme emperor weapon. Could whatever he was experiencing really be due to the Chaos Divine Ring? Qin Chen looked at the Chaos Divine Ring, and was surprised to hear it speak, ¡°Why do you have the aura of my master on you? Could it be that you¡¯re his successor in this era?¡± Hearing the Chaos Divine Ring speak, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. It seemed that his guess was right. The Chaos Divine Ring was indeed the reason why he was here. Qin Chen admitted to the weapon¡¯s question, though he did not know what the weapon God in the Chaos Divine Ring was up to. The weapon God in the Chaos Divine Ring sighed, then sent Qin Chen out. In an instant, Qin Chen felt as if he had teleported back into his own body. After opening his eyes, he could see his surroundings. They were already out of danger. Qin Chen felt that his mental state was now much better. The Chaos Divine Ring had probably given him back some spiritual power. Qin Chen could feel that he was in an extremely bad state. It was as if his brain was about to split apart. If he had to experience such terrifying pain every time he used the Chaos Divine Ring, he would rather not use it again. The Chaos Divine Ring continued to speak in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, ¡°You can¡¯t bear the price of controlling me because your soul is still too weak. You need to keep getting stronger.¡± Qin Chen was surprised. His soul had clearly reached the God realm, so why did he sound so weak in the mouth of the Chaos Divine Ring¡¯s weapon God? However, he still nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Soon after, there was actually a fluctuation in the void. The fluctuations were too fast, and even Qin Chen did not notice it. Weren¡¯t they already out of danger? Why was there a fluctuation now? Could it be that there was some existence that wanted to kill them? Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and Yuji saw that Qin Chen had woken up. They did not expect him to wake up so quickly this time. Then, they looked up at the sky. There was a fluctuation in the void, and a mysterious figure appeared. This figure seemed to be an expert from a powerful cosmic race. He had a pair of horns on his head, which looked as if they were dyed red with blood. Behind his back was a long tail. He laughed as soon as he appeared and charged at Qin Chen and the others. He could see with his naked eyes that his targets were severely injured. However, due to the array, he was not able to find out the cultivation realm of Qin Chen and the others. That being said, since they were already seriously injured, he might be able to kill them. As long as he did, he would be able to obtain a lot of good stuff. The expert didn¡¯t expect to run into these easy targets in this godforsaken corner. At the thought of this, he roared, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to run into you guys upon the reappearance of my blood-wyrm race. Quickly hand over the treasures and I will spare your lives!¡± Upon hearing this, killing intent rose in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already charged out. Even though she was severely injured, it was a piece of cake for her to deal with this expert from the blood-wyrm race. After all, she was a top expert in the Great God realm. When she turned her jade-like hand and slapped forward, a terrifying pressure descended. With that, the blood-wyrm race¡¯s God-realm expert was severely injured. His body was almost torn apart. He screamed as if he was being stared at by the god of death. He had never thought that he would one day provoke someone he couldn¡¯t afford to. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. As Holy Maiden Mu Xue charged toward him, he quickly begged for mercy, ¡°Spare me, my Lord, spare me. I know a secret. If you don¡¯t kill me, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue was about to kill him, but the expert from the blood-wyrm race quickly continued, ¡°I know where the ancient tree of life is!¡± Immediately, Qin Chen sent a message to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, asking her to stop and spare this guy¡¯s life. Qin Chen looked at the expert from the blood-wyrm race being carried over by Holy Maiden Mu Xue. ¡°Where is the ancient tree of life that you mentioned?¡± He asked. The expert was already scared out of his wits. He hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Chen, ¡°Lord, please spare me. If you do, I will bring you to the ancient tree of life.¡¯ Qin Chen glanced at Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was sneering. It seemed that this expert from the blood-wyrm race was a cunning fellow. Qin Chen nodded and said, ¡°It seems that you are unwilling to tell the truth. Then you should just die.¡± With that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue unleashed her terrifying aura, wanting to kill this expert from the blood-wyrm race. Chapter 400 - 400 The Tranquil Land 400 The Tranquil Land Almost instantly, the blood-wyrm race expert felt as if his mental defenses were about to collapse. He did not doubt that this Great God-realm expert would kill him. As such, he took the initiative to explain. After listening to his explanation, Qin Chen was simply confused. He had no idea where the place this expert from the blood-wyrm race was talking about was. He had no choice but to knock the other party out to prevent him from causing any trouble. The big scorpion was obviously more worried and used a rope to tie the expert up. If not for knowing that this guy was still useful, he might have killed him. This was the big scorpion¡¯s true thoughts. By the time Qin Chen and the others had recovered, the big scorpion could not wait any longer. He could not wait to find the whereabouts of the ancient tree of life. One should know that the ancient tree of life was not an ordinary item. It was a supreme treasure with an extremely great origin! Even an ordinary quasi-emperor might not have seen such a supreme treasure before. This was the reason why big scorpion was so excited. As long as they found the supreme treasure, they would definitely be able to improve greatly. Therefore, they had to get their hands on the ancient tree of life. For the past few days, the expert from the blood-wyrm race experienced what despair was. Each of these people was no ordinary person. Almost all of them were extremely powerful monsters. Had he been possessed back then that he actually wanted to kill these experts and seize their treasures? That was simply courting death. If he had not revealed that he knew the location of the ancient tree of life, he would have long died. The expert from the blood-wyrm race felt even more sorrowful for his tragic fate. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do but await his fate. The main reason why Qin Chen kept this guy alive was that he could not find the ancient tree of life¡¯s location. Otherwise, he would have long killed him. After all, Qin Chen was not a kind person. To him, this expert of the blood-wyrm race was worthy of dying a thousand deaths. While he was recuperating, Qin Chen also learned how much Yuji and Holy Maiden Mu Xue had sacrificed. At that time, the two of them seemed to not think much of their own lives. They only wanted to protect Qin Chen and not let him get hurt. If Qin Chen hadn¡¯t recovered in the end, it was very likely that they would be accompanying each other on the road to hell. After all, the monster covered in blood was extremely terrifying. In Qin Chen¡¯s knowledge, only the imposing figure bound by chains in the small world could have such terrifying strength. At this point, Qin Chen had almost fully recovered and was ready to depart on his journey once more with the others. They had stayed on this meteorite for more than ten days. Now, Qin Chen¡¯s hatred for the black stone golem was very deep. There were too many debts to be settled between them. If Qin Chen had the power now, the first thing he would do was destroy the black stone golem. He did not doubt that if the black stone golem found them again, the other party would not hesitate to kill them. This black stone golem had too many secrets. Thinking of this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t wait to become more powerful and destroy the other party. As long as he didn¡¯t exterminate the black stone golem, he wouldn¡¯t be able to rest easy. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, even if he found the black stone golem, he still wouldn¡¯t be its opponent. Therefore, the most important thing for Qin Chen now was to make himself more powerful. As the opportunity to become an emperor in this era got closer, it would develop into a huge whirlpool that would suck him in. Qin Chen didn¡¯t have a say in it. If he didn¡¯t become extremely powerful, he would be crushed into pieces by this terrifying whirlpool. Qin Chen sorted out the enemies that he had offended. When the beings below the Emperor Burial Abyss could come out, the first thing they would do was definitely settle scores with Qin Chen. They had, after all, met the ancient great emperors before and survived to the present world. Even if Qin Chen used all his strength, he might not be the opponent of such beings. It was possible that the other party would kill him with a casual strike. Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to die like this, so he yearned to become stronger. Only with great strength could he destroy all the schemes and plots. It was as if an invisible hand had always been pushing him to face these things. Qin Chen smiled bitterly, hoping that this was just an unnecessary worry. In the beginning, he just wanted to check in leisurely and continue living cautiously. In the end, when he became more and more powerful, he realized that when he chose to embark on the path of cultivation, there was no turning back. Qin Chen did not know what would happen in the future, but to prevent others from easily taking away everything he had, he would do everything he could to become stronger. Right now, Qin Chen had just broken through to level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm and was still quite a distance away from everything he wanted. Thinking of this, he looked at the expert of the blood-wyrm race who was leading the way. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already followed this fellow to a very far place. This was a special area where Qin Chen and the others had already noticed that there was something different about this place. Never mind the possibility that the expert of the blood-wyrm race had deliberately brought them to a very terrifying place, they were now at a place without any signs of life. This place was more tranquil than any place that Qin Chen and the others had been to. The most important thing was that there was no sign of life here. Not even the star field could make people feel so suffocated. It was as if this place had been abandoned. Along the way, Qin Chen was on high alert for any possible danger. The big scorpion was a little impatient and asked, ¡°What is this place?¡± The expert from the blood-wyrm race said slowly, ¡°This is the Tranquil Land. There was once an expert who obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch here.¡± The big scorpion squinted its eyes, ¡°The ancient tree of life is in the Tranquil Land?¡± They had finally arrived. The ancient tree of life was right here! Chapter 401 - 401 A Mysterious Power 401 A Mysterious Power How could the ancient tree of life possibly be here? According to Qin Chen¡¯s train of thought, something as important as the ancient tree of life should not be placed here. Although this place was extremely mysterious, it was more understandable that this might not be the place where the expert had found the branch of the ancient tree of life. It was very likely that that expert had obtained it somewhere else, like in some kind of void secret realm or a small world. After all, if the ancient tree of life could be found here, it was highly possible that not only one expert would have obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. Rather, the likelihood of other experts having taken the ancient tree of life away would be quite high. Therefore, the expert from the blood-wyrm race told the truth and did not lie to Qin Chen and the others. They looked around. The big scorpion continued to explore forward in an attempt to locate the ancient tree of life. At this moment, the blood-wyrm race expert suddenly stopped moving. Qin Chen thought that the other party may have recalled something, but when he walked to the blood-wyrm race expert, he found that the latter was dead. It was as if the other party hadn¡¯t felt any pain during death. His heart had stopped beating. ¡°He¡¯s dead.¡± Upon hearing this, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji were also in disbelief. They were clueless as to what had happened. To think the expert from the blood-wyrm race, who had been talking to them a moment ago, had become a corpse. They had not seen what had killed him, yet the expert from the blood-wyrm race was already dead. His life force was all gone. When Qin Chen looked at the expert from the blood-wyrm race, he realized that the truth might not be what he had imagined. The expert must have encountered some kind of irresistible force, which was why he had died so quickly. Could this mysterious power be the one that was protecting the ancient tree of life? This was the first time Qin Chen had encountered such a powerful force. He could not even imagine how terrifying it was. Although he could kill a God-realm expert, he couldn¡¯t do it in such a strange way. The blood-wyrm race expert had died before anyone had noticed. ¡°Come back!¡± Following this, Qin Chen roared at the big scorpion. However, the big scorpion seemed to have lost all reason as he frantically searched for signs of the ancient tree of life. In his opinion, as long as he could find the ancient tree of life, it would be more powerful than anything else. After all, the ancient tree of life was a supreme treasure that even quasi-emperors might not have seen before. The ancient tree of life contained a strong life force. It was said that there was once a Buddha who comprehended Dao under the ancient tree of life and then became a quasi-emperor. One could imagine that if they could obtain the ancient tree of life, they would definitely be able to elevate their cultivation prowess in a short time. This was the treasure that the big scorpion wanted the most at the moment. It was even more tempting than all the treasures he had on him combined. Hearing Qin Chen calling him, the big scorpion immediately looked at the former in puzzlement, confused as to why Qin Chen was so flustered. Then, he saw that the expert from the blood-wyrm race had fallen to the ground. In an instant, a sense of danger enveloped the big scorpion. Could something have happened again? Why was the blood-wyrm race expert suddenly on the ground? Was he dead? The big scorpion, who had experienced countless horrors in the cosmic, had already guessed that there must be some unspeakable secret and danger in this place. Otherwise, the expert from the blood-wyrm race would not have fallen so easily. He should have encountered an irresistible force and died instantly. With that, the big scorpion quickly flew to Qin Chen¡¯s side and looked at the expert from the blood-wyrm race. The latter was indeed dead without a trace of life! Right under everyone¡¯s eyes, the expert from the blood-wyrm race had died without any resistance or abnormality. The big scorpion was shocked and immediately became alert. He didn¡¯t know what had caused the death of the blood-wyrm race expert. He then looked around, but there was nothing. This seemed to be just a very quiet place. There was no life, only eternal silence. Theoretically, the place where the ancient tree of life existed should not be in such a state. After all, it was a supreme treasure that controlled the Great Path of life. Wherever the ancient tree of life existed should definitely be filled with vitality. It was impossible for its location to become dead and silent, to the point that there was not even a single living being. All living beings, big or small, seemed to have gone extinct in this Tranquil Land. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s serious expression, the big scorpion felt a lingering fear in his heart. If he had encountered that kind of power just now, he would have died without even knowing why. He then looked at Qin Chen and asked hurriedly, ¡°Elder King, did you discover anything?¡± Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Nothing. However, I can guess that there must be a very terrifying force in this place that can kill people in an instant. If you had been as rash just now, the blood-wyrm race expert might have been your lesson.¡± After hearing this, the big scorpion felt a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, he had not encountered any danger. Soon after, the four of them huddled closely together to guard against any possible danger. In their opinion, even if they did not take the initiative to search for the ancient tree of life, the moment they stepped into this place, that mysterious force would definitely find a way to destroy them. Otherwise, why would the expert from the blood-wyrm race die? Thinking of this, Qin Chen became very serious. He used his spiritual will to explore the surroundings. Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual power was extremely powerful, breaking through to the God realm. At the same time, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji also spread out their spiritual wills, trying to figure out what exactly had killed the expert from the blood-wyrm race. Right before their eyes, the blood-wyrm race expert had turned into a corpse, floating in the void. It was so eerie, and it made people feel fear. Then, Qin Chen felt a trace of fluctuation. He looked at the body of the blood-wyrm race¡¯s expert and saw that it was decaying quickly! It was as if the corpse was aging rapidly, and soon, it became white-haired and withered! All this happened in an instant! Before Qin Chen could react, the blood-wyrm race expert¡¯s corpse had already turned into that state. Chapter 402 - 402 An Unknown Voice 402 An Unknown Voice Then, he looked at Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji. The two women also did not notice what kind of power had affected the corpse of the blood-wyrm race expert. To be able to turn him into a withered corpse in an instant, it seemed that the mysterious power was not easy to deal with. Soon, Qin Chen noticed that after the blood-wyrm race expert¡¯s body turned into bones, the decaying did not end. Instead, the corpse was turning into dust! This power seemed to be working on the blood-wyrm race expert, and as time rapidly passed by, a terrifying scene appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. It was as if the expert from the blood-wyrm race had experienced an accelerated death, leaping through time. His soul began to dissipate, then his flesh and blood. In the end, nothing was left. It was as if all traces of his existence had been erased. Such a terrifying scene made everyone feel fear in their hearts. They didn¡¯t even dare to approach the blood-wyrm race expert¡¯s corpse. They could only watch as it slowly turned into dust and disappeared into the stars. There were too many incredible mysteries in the cosmic, just like what they had seen. To think the God-realm expert of the blood-wyrm race had died in such a strange and incomprehensible way. Then, Qin Chen took a step forward. He wanted to see if there was any problem with the flow of time around the blood-wyrm race expert. ¡°Be careful!¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji couldn¡¯t help but say. When his hands touched the blood-wyrm race expert¡¯s body, nothing happened. It seemed that his guess was wrong. Qin Chen let out a sigh. It seemed that they would face many dangers again in their attempt to find the ancient tree of life. They could possibly die here if they were not careful. The big scorpion said, ¡°Could this be an attack from some mysterious expert here? what if the other party is an expert who has mastered something similar to the Great Path of time? What if he caused such a strange scene the moment he made a move?¡± Seeing this, everyone¡¯s heart was filled with the same thoughts as what the big scorpion had said. There might be an expert who could control time around them. Only then could such a strange scene be possible. Before Qin Chen could speak, a voice speaking an unknown language was heard. The voice seemed to be coming from a distance, attracting everyone. ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s hair stood on end. There was no sign of life in this place, so how could there be sound? Could it be that there were other living beings here that they hadn¡¯t noticed? Impossible! The big scorpion instantly denied this thought. He was a Supreme Sage and with the powerful abilities of Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the Elder King, and Yuji, how could they not detect living beings if they were around? Yet, the voice was too strange. It was like a whisper. What was going on? Qin Chen looked at Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the rest, feeling bewildered. His intuition told him that the expert of the blood-wyrm race had most probably died because of this sound! As long as they could find the source of the sound, they should be able to find the answer. Then, Qin Chen exchanged a look with the others and decided to explore further ahead. Perhaps they would learn the truth if they found the source of the sound. They had come to find the ancient tree of life, but now the situation had changed, and they were moving to protect themselves. After all, they did not wish to lose their lives before they could even find the ancient tree of life. From the looks of it, other than the sound, there was nothing else that could explain the danger and strangeness of this place. So, even if it was just for their survival, they had to find the source of the sound. It was probably too late to leave now. Qin Chen and the others guessed that if they tried to leave now, they would be killed by the strange power very soon. Therefore, they could only brace themselves and move forward step by step. They wanted to see what was the source of the sound that was affecting them. There was a power that seemed to have an alluring charm in the voice. It steered everyone to continue moving forward. Qin Chen and the others had been walking carefully for a long time, but they still couldn¡¯t find the source of the sound. The sound seemed to be neither far nor near, yet just in front of them. But they couldn¡¯t see anything, not even a trace of fluctuation. They could only vaguely hear the sound coming from ahead. The group continued to move forward. However, along the way, they did not discover any strange power descending on them again. In other words, as long as they kept moving forward, they should be fine. Could it be that the voice was giving them directions? Qin Chen was bewildered. He had already activated the innate sword embryo. If anything happened, he could use the terrifying emperor¡¯s might of the innate sword embryo to resist it. Holy Maiden Mu Xue followed behind Qin Chen, together with Yuji and the big scorpion. She knew that her current strength was not enough to resist this terrifying anomaly. She didn¡¯t want to die in vain, so letting Qin Chen lead the way with the innate sword embryo was the best choice. As time passed, they had already traveled some distance, and they saw a meteorite, which seemed to be a little different. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t pinpoint what the difference was, but their intuition told them that it was different. Could it be that they were approaching the place where the sound came from? This unknown voice terrified them. They wondered if the owner of the voice wanted to kill them. One should know that Qin Chen and the others had been very vigilant, afraid that something strange would happen in front of them. Unfortunately, the expert from the blood-wyrm race had died. If he hadn¡¯t, they might be able to get some useful information from him. Listening to the sound, Qin Chen continued to move forward. At this moment, the sound in their ears became clearer and clearer. In the humans¡¯ ears, it sounded like a human whispering, but the big scorpion heard the demon race¡¯s language. It was as if this voice had some kind of special characteristic that made it understandable to everyone. The voice seemed to be saying, ¡°Hurry over!¡± Just these two words were enough to make Qin Chen and the others¡¯ scalps tingle. ¡°Hurry over!¡± These two words were repeated over and over again as if whatever was saying the words really wanted Qin Chen and the others to continue advancing. What kind of existence was making this sound in the Tranquil Land? They hadn¡¯t seen anything yet, but it didn¡¯t stop them from feeling that there was most definitely danger ahead. Chapter 403 - 403 Mystic Gate Light 403 Mystic Gate Light Even if there was danger ahead, Qin Chen and the others could only brace themselves and continue to move forward. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen never thought that he would be able to check in at the Tranquil Land. Could it be that some powerful expert had been here before? He thought about it for a moment and found an explanation. The ancient tree of life could, after all, attract the top experts. It should be very normal for them to have come to the Tranquil Land. Then, he muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the Lost Land. You have received the Mystic Gate Lamp!] [Mystic Gate Lamp: A mysterious supreme treasure that can help people find their way. It came from the gate. It had been obtained by countless powerful figures and has even devoured its owners.] What was this Mystic Gate Lamp? Qin Chen looked at the ancient lamp that had suddenly appeared in his hand. He was bewildered. When he saw the description that the lamp had once devoured its owners, he wondered if it was an evil item. How could the lamp be so evil as to devour its owner? The system also wrote that countless big shots had obtained it, and only experts in the quasi-emperor realm and above could be called big shots by the system. Now, such a mysterious treasure had appeared out of nowhere. Plus, Qin Chen had no idea what the ¡°gate¡± the system mentioned was. When Qin Chen held the ancient lamp in his hand, an image suddenly appeared in his mind. He saw an incomparably tall gate. This gate seemed to be condensed in the void, and no one knew what was behind it. Moreover, this gate seemed to be incomparably tall, reaching the heavens! Could this be the place where the Mystic Gate Lamp came from? What was this gate? Qin Chen had never heard of it before. When Qin Chen saw the door in his consciousness, he instinctively wanted to get closer to see what it was. However, he did not expect the door to suddenly disappear, and he also snapped back to reality in an instant. He looked in front of him and saw fog. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, Yuji, and the others were all looking at the fog with solemn expressions. They didn¡¯t know what the fog was, but anything abnormal in the cosmic could kill them. Therefore, they looked at Qin Chen. Seeing that he was suddenly holding an ancient lamp in his hand made them feel at ease. It was as if they were affected by the ancient lamp. The fog had spread over. No one asked much. It seemed that the ancient lamp was a mysterious treasure. However, the big scorpion had no thoughts of trying to get the ancient lamp from Qin Chen, because his intuition told him that the thick fog in front of them was very likely to be accompanied by endless killing intent, and they might all die in it. It was just like the time they saw the red eye in the white fog on the ancient planet. Perhaps there would be a monster as strong as the red eye in the fog. Holding the ancient lamp in his hand, Qin Chen realized that he could not see anything in front as the fog drifted over. But when the fog reached him, it could not hide the light of the ancient lamp in his hand. It seemed that the ancient lamp was something that could transcend the fog. He did not expect the ancient lamp to have such great power. Just this point alone was enough to make Qin Chen feel a deep fear. To think such a thing could devour its owner. How? Could it be that there was a powerful existence sealed within that would devour him? Thinking of this, Qin Chen tried to familiarize himself with the ancient lamp, but he was too late. The fog had already arrived. In an instant, Qin Chen and the others were completely shrouded in a fog. How could there be fog in the Tranquil Land? It must be known that they were in the cosmic. For such a huge drape of fog to be able to cover the Tranquil Land, it was obviously very likely for it to be accompanied by countless dangers and murderous intentions. Qin Chen quickly extended his hand and held Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s hand, who then held Yuji¡¯s hand, and Yuji held the big scorpion¡¯s hand. At this moment, they had to keep their distance so that they wouldn¡¯t get separated. If they were separated in this fog, it was very likely that they would not be able to find their companions. It was as if the fog was created for them. If Qin Chen and the others had not appeared, the fog would not have appeared. At that moment, the ancient lamp in Qin Chen¡¯s hand burst out with a powerful light, illuminating the front! With this, they could see a meteorite in the distance. Fortunately, Qin Chen had this ancient lamp that could light up the front. If they only relied on their spiritual wills that would disappear the moment they left their bodies, they could then only use their eyes to see what was ahead. With the ancient lamp, they could continue to move forward. The sound became increasingly frequent as if it was constantly urging Qin Chen and the others to move forward. What was hidden in front? Qin Chen and the rest did not know, but they still gritted their teeth and continued forward. If they wanted to survive, they could only do so. At this moment, they had lost all sense of direction. In other words, even if they had the ancient lamp, which could illuminate the way ahead, they might not be able to backtrack in the correct direction and retreat. Rather, they might encounter the mysterious power that killed the blood-wyrm race expert. Just losing their direction in this fog was enough to make them suffer. It was possible that they would unknowingly walk into some dangerous places. If that happened, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to seeking death? However, as they followed the sound, they did not encounter any danger. Could it be that the sound was really guiding them? The light of the ancient lamp in Qin Chen¡¯s hand grew stronger, then gradually weakened. Qin Chen instantly felt that the power in the ancient lamp was about to be exhausted. To avoid any danger that he could not see, he poured his divine power into the ancient lamp. At the same time, he put away his extreme emperor weapon and grabbed Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s wrist with his other hand, pulling her along as they moved forward. They encountered many meteorites along the way, which they avoided. At this moment, a fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of them! Everyone was startled. Could there be danger ahead? They had never encountered any danger in the Tranquil Land at this point, and now, this fluctuation had appeared. It reminded them of the blood-wyrm race expert. When he had encountered that terrifying power, the fluctuations emitted seemed to be no different from this. Could it be that the mysterious power was trying to kill them? Chapter 404 - 404 Godfiend 404 Godfiend Qin Chen did not dare to be careless at all. His heart was already in his throat, worried about the possible horror that might appear in front of him. As they slowly moved forward, Yuji and the others also quickly made their defensive preparations. God knows what was waiting for them in front of them. Slowly, they seemed to see some kind of creature! This creature seemed to have no consciousness as if it was dead! When Qin Chen saw it, his heart instantly thumped wildly. He could not help but almost gasp. Fortunately, he was so shocked that he forgot to make a sound! With the help of the light, they could see what was in front of them. Fear rose in the hearts of Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion. In front of them was the corpse of a true dragon! This true dragon¡¯s body seemed to be stained with black blood. They didn¡¯t sense any fluctuations from the dragon¡¯s corpse. Could it have been floating dead here all this time? What was going on? What was in this Tranquil Land? Theoretically, a place where the ancient tree of life existed should not be so strange. They continued to explore the area in front. Just avoiding the corpse of the true dragon took them a lot of time. The true dragon¡¯s corpse was simply too huge. Fortunately, they managed to directly leap over the corpse without touching it. One had to know that this was the body of a member of the true dragon race. The divine dragon blood essence that they had obtained was left behind by such an existence. As a divine beast, a true dragon was extremely powerful in the cosmic. But this one seemed to have died long ago, leaving only a corpse. To prevent anything unexpected from the dragon¡¯s corpse, they carefully crossed it. They didn¡¯t touch it. After all, if they did and some kind of danger thus occurred, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist it. Judging from the size of the dragon¡¯s corpse, it was definitely a very powerful existence. Even an existence like a true dragon had fallen here. They didn¡¯t dare to imagine how terrifying the danger ahead would be. As they continued forward, Qin Chen and the others saw a mysterious bronze coffin. The bronze coffin seemed to be floating in the Tranquil Land as well. They didn¡¯t see it before the fog appeared either. They had just seen a dragon¡¯s corpse not far away, and now they saw a blood-stained bronze coffin here. The fear in their hearts thus grew! What had happened in the Tranquil Land? How did the expert who had obtained the branch of the ancient tree of life manage to do so? Why was he still alive? Qin Chen and the rest were not sure if they could leave this place alive. The Tranquil Land was so bizarre and terrifying. As they moved forward, they carefully went around the side of the bronze coffin. The pressure exuded by the coffin was extremely powerful. It was actually comparable to the dragon corpse. It was enough to show that a top expert had died here. How could so many experts have died here? Qin Chen and the others found it simply inexplicable. They continued to move forward, and it was at this moment that a ray of light appeared in front of them! When they saw the light, their bodies shook. This light was actually emitted by a living being that looked like a butterfly. It was a pity that the butterfly had been dead for a long time. Though it was still emitting light, there wasn¡¯t a trace of life on its body, nor any fluctuations. The only thing that told everyone how powerful it was was its pressure! Seeing that so many experts had died here, Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to treat the situation more seriously. The big scorpion said, ¡°There is great danger here. If I had known, I would not have come.¡± It was all the blood-wyrm race expert¡¯s fault. If they hadn¡¯t kept the blood-wyrm race expert and had chosen to kill him directly, would they not have encountered such a situation? They had yet to find the ancient tree of life, but they had already fallen into a dangerous situation. God knows if they could make it out alive. So far, they hadn¡¯t found any danger. The mysterious force that had killed the blood-wyrm race expert did not appear again either. This made them even warier. What kind of danger was ahead? Qin Chen continued to walk forward. The ancient lamp in his hand glowed. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion followed behind him. There couldn¡¯t be another corpse of some mysterious expert in front, could there? As they continued forward, they saw a weapon in the fog. It seemed to have been broken and no longer had any power. However, it was stuck in the head of an expert. This expert seemed to have died an extremely miserable death. He was bleeding from all his orifices and was donned in Emperor¡¯s robes as he looked ahead as if he had seen something he couldn¡¯t resist. To be able to evoke such fear in the expert so much so that he maintained such an appearance before his death was very shocking to Qin Chen and the others. Holy Maiden Mu Xue said slowly, ¡°The expert who was killed by this weapon should be a quasi-emperor.¡± This was because Holy Maiden Mu Xue had discovered the patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth on his body. It must be known that no one could condense such patterns except for quasi-emperors. Qin Chen took a deep breath, feeling extremely depressed. When would this end? The mysterious voice was still echoing in their ears, still coming from somewhere in front. However, they had walked for such a long distance, yet they still had not reached the source. Could it be that the voice wanted them to continue walking like this? Who knew how far ahead the voice was? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they wanted to live, Qin Chen and the others would have already retreated. After all, heaven knows if there were any strange forces ahead. To be able to kill so many experts, the mysterious force could also kill them secretly as easily as ABC. All of a sudden, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. He seemed to have seen a figure flash past in front of him! What was that? He still couldn¡¯t feel the slightest fluctuation. The big scorpion cried out in alarm, ¡°Could it be that there was something we did not notice just now?¡± Looking at the figure that had just flashed by, everyone was sure that their eyes had not tricked them. It was impossible for all four of them to be hallucinating at the same time. Borrowing the light from the ancient lamp, Qin Chen said, ¡°Everyone, be careful. We might encounter danger ahead.¡± God knows what kind of terrifying thing was ahead, so they could only slowly explore. At this moment, the figure that flashed by seemed to have appeared again. It was gradually approaching Qin Chen and the others from the fog! Slowly, the figure was exposed to the light. It was the three-headed, six-armed godfiend! Chapter 405 - 405 Ancient Life Planet 405 Ancient Life Planet At this moment, there was a godfiend¡¯s corpse in front of Qin Chen, and the terrifying thing was that the godfiend¡¯s corpse could move. When this three-headed, six-armed godfiend appeared in front of everyone, everyone felt fear. After all, this was a godfiend. Those who could die here were basically powerful and invincible existences. However, the most terrifying thing was that this godfiend could actually move. By right, the terrifying godfiend was void of any aura of life, yet he could actually move! The three-headed and six-armed godfiend reminded everyone of the godfiend from the golden coffin, though the latter was far from as powerful as this one. This was where their fear stemmed from. If this godfiend were to attack Qin Chen and the others, they might not be able to resist it. The godfiend did not emit any aura fluctuations, but the pressure on his body had already reached a height where none of them had any chance of winning. Qin Chen stared at the godfiend, not knowing what he was up to. They could only watch as the godfiend came forward and stood in front of them. It was clearly dead, so why was it still moving? The experts that Qin Chen and the others had met along the way were all dead. If this went on, the godfiend might suddenly go berserk and hurt them. Even with an extreme emperor weapon, Qin Chen might not be able to survive. After all, the difference in strength was too great. The big scorpion sensed the terrifying aura of this godfiend and was surprised. It was a quasi-emperor realm expert. Almost at the same time, two words appeared in everyone¡¯s mind. It¡¯s over. The three-headed and six-armed godfiend looked at Qin Chen. His eyes were empty, which invoked fear in everyone. Qin Chen did not know what this godfiend wanted to do. The latter reached out its hand to Qin Chen¡¯s forehead, but then retracted it as if it sensed something. Following this, the voice that had attracted them over suddenly rang out in everyone¡¯s ears once more. As soon as the voice appeared, the three-headed, six-armed godfiend immediately retreated. The fear in Qin Chen¡¯s heart finally dissipated. He had been almost unable to hold on under such pressure. It was too terrifying. Facing a quasi-emperor realm expert, Qin Chen felt like he was at death¡¯s door. Such fear almost broke his psychological defense. The quasi-emperor realm expert was too powerful. Even if Qin Chen had an extreme emperor weapon, he might not be able to survive. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away. They looked over and saw that the sound was actually coming from the place that had attracted them. Could it be that the voice was not far away? Could it be that they were about to find the source? Only by finding the source would they have a chance to survive. If they failed, they would likely encounter the threat of the mysterious force. The mysterious power could easily kill a quasi-emperor realm expert. These experts must have died here because of the power. It was unknown whether the power was controlled by humans or formed naturally between heaven and earth though. All in all, everything was too strange. The fog was dense as ever in front of Qin Chen and the others, and in this large drape of fog was an unknown amount of killing intent. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if he could leave this place alive. The ancient lamp in his hand emitted light, illuminating the path ahead. The ancient lamp was the only light in the fog. Logically speaking, the place where the ancient tree of life existed could not possibly be so strange. After all, the ancient tree of life was an extremely powerful supreme treasure that possessed an unbelievable amount of life force. As such, this should have been a paradise. So, how did it turn into this ghostly scene? At this moment, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ primordial spirits were suddenly attacked! Not only Qin Chen, but Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the big scorpion¡¯s primordial spirits were also attacked. The attack was so powerful that it seemed to want to shatter their primordial spirits. If one¡¯s primordial spirit was shattered, it was basically a dead end. Without a physical body, the soul could still find a physical body to possess. However, without a soul, one would be truly erased from the world. Their primordial spirits were being attacked. It was as if a very powerful force was pressing down on them. There were only two possibilities for such a situation. Either an expert who was more powerful than them was doing this, or some kind of powerful magic item that attacked the soul was targeting them. Only these two possibilities could suppress their primordial spirits to such an extent. Qin Chen immediately left in a hurry, wanting to find the source of the sound. He led the group forward as they clenched their jaws to prevent their primordial spirits from being shattered. As they advanced, they didn¡¯t know what kind of danger was waiting for them. It was also at this moment that Qin Chen and the others finally saw it. In front of them was an ancient planet that looked very extraordinary. Thousands of rays of light scattered from the ancient planet into the fog. The fog drifted over and covered the ancient planet quickly, concealing everything in front of them. If Qin Chen did not hold the ancient lamp in his hand, it was very likely that they would have only realized that there was an ancient planet before them after they ran into it. After arriving on the ancient planet, Qin Chen and the others followed the unknown sound and continued to move forward. They wanted to find the source of the sound, because only then would they be able to live. Otherwise, the only outcome would be death. At this point, they hadn¡¯t even managed to see a single leaf of the ancient tree of life, but they had almost lost their lives. If they could choose again, they would definitely not come to such a terrifying place. The place was simply too terrifying. Even the big scorpion was furious, let alone Qin Chen. If he had known this would happen, he would have killed the expert of the blood-wyrm race when he captured him. The other party had brought them here, then mysteriously died, also putting Qin Chen and the others in danger. God knows when they would be able to escape. The ancient planet in front of them seemed to have a very strong life force. This life force was hidden very well. It was as if there was an unnoticeable barrier on the ancient planet that was concealing the life force. If Qin Chen and the others were not close enough, they would not have noticed it. After that, Qin Chen tried to locate the place where the life force existed on the ancient planet. Chapter 406 - 406 Two Spatial Nodes 406 Two Spatial Nodes The big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be the case.¡± Logically speaking, the source of this sound should be on this ancient planet, so why couldn¡¯t they find it? Qin Chen and the others had clearly sensed a huge life force on this ancient planet. But when they searched for it endlessly, they could not find it at all. At this moment, Qin Chen stopped in his tracks. He extended his spiritual will and gradually covered the entire ancient planet. At the same time, Yuji and the others did the same and spread out their spiritual wills, trying to cover the entire ancient planet. They wanted to see where life existed on this ancient planet. After all, they could feel a huge amount of life force here. Yet, they couldn¡¯t find anything. All they could see was a huge piece of desolation, and the place looked no different from a dead planet. Only they knew that this was indeed an ancient planet with a life force. Since there was a life force, the planet should be able to create living creatures. But right now, they were on this ancient planet, and they didn¡¯t find any living beings. Qin Chen furrowed his brows. This should not be the case. What was the problem? At the same time, they could also hear that the unknown voice seemed to be coming from this ancient planet. Logically speaking, the voice should be here, but they couldn¡¯t find it. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled. What was going on? At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue seemed to have noticed something strange. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find the source of the life force or where the sound was coming from. She looked at Qin Chen, and the latter¡¯s eyes had the answer she had in mind as well. A small world! Indeed, only a small world or void secret realm could do this. Only by opening up such a place could Qin Chen and the others not find it but sense that there was indeed a life force thriving. Could it be that the ancient tree of life¡¯s whereabouts was also protected on this ancient planet? They couldn¡¯t believe that there was such a method. Following this, Qin Chen quickly retracted his spiritual will and started to search the surroundings in an attempt to find the ancient tree of life. The process would certainly be extremely difficult and dangerous. How could he find it? Qin Chen did not know. Generally speaking, secret realms in the void or small worlds could only be entered under specific circumstances. One could only enter by knowing the way to open the passage, or possessing the key that connected the outside world to the small world or void secret realm. For example, Qin Chen had only obtained the divine dragon blood essence by relying on the divine dragon¡¯s jade to open the palace in the void and enter it. Otherwise, Qin Chen would not have been able to open it even if he was told the location. As such, although they had now arrived on the ancient planet, they still didn¡¯t know how to find the method to enter. Qin Chen continued to probe with his spiritual will, trying to find the secret realm hidden in the void or the small world through its fluctuations. As long as he could find the fluctuations, he should be able to open it. It was a pity that there seemed to be many seals on this ancient planet that prevented anyone from finding the way to enter the secret realm or small world. They could only wait. Qin Chen recalled the state of the unity of man and nature that he had established with the innate sword embryo earlier. He wondered if he could use that wonderful state to search for it. He immediately thought of the Chaos Divine Ring! The Chaos Divine Ring was, after all, a soul weapon that was on par with extreme emperor weapons. At the thought of this, Qin Chen immediately asked the Chaos Divine Ring. After all, the Chaos Divine Ring had a consciousness. It might know of a way to find a small world or a secret realm hidden in the void. When Qin Chen was communicating with the Chaos Divine Ring in his body, the latter once again pulled Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit into an unknown place. It seemed to have expected that Qin Chen would come to seek its help. Qin Chen told the Chaos Divine Ring about the secret realm or small world that he was looking for. The Chaos Divine Ring had a weapon spirit. As a heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon refined by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, it had naturally seen many such secret realms and small worlds. Following this, it immediately transferred a terrifying force into Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit was surrounded by white light and returned to his body. Meanwhile, the crowd had no choice but to continue searching the desolate ancient planet. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find anything. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s body suddenly emitted a light. They looked at him, wondering what kind of treasure the Elder King would take out this time. There was no fog on the ancient planet, so Qin Chen put away the ancient lamp. At this moment, his body was emitting light. His eyes flew open and quickly captured two nodes. There were many more nodes like this, but these two nodes were the most prominent on the ancient planet. Could it be that one was the source of the abundant life force, and the other was the origin of the unknown sound? When Qin Chen thought of this, he could not help but gasp in amazement. What kind of cultivation realm would it take to set up such a hidden small world or void secret realm? Qin Chen opened one of the spatial nodes. In an instant, everyone felt a terrifying aura being released from it! It contained endless life force, making everyone feel that every cell in their bodies had become active, and their blood energy was thus boiling! This feeling was too mystical, making them incomparably shocked! Then, a crack in the void appeared in front of them. Before the divine light on Qin Chen¡¯s body dissipated, he looked at the other spot. In another place not far away, a spatial crack also appeared. When the spatial crack opened, an endless sound shocked everyone¡¯s mind. This sound was the voice that had led them here! Could that unknown voice be coming from the other spatial rift? Everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with fear. As the light on Qin Chen¡¯s body dimmed, the two spatial nodes had been opened. One contained the source of the voice that had attracted everyone here, and the other was the source of the immense life force on the ancient planet. They didn¡¯t know which they should go to first. However, it was clear that the place with the sound was bound to be filled with endless danger. As such, they decided to enter the space-time crack that contained a tremendous amount of life force first. Perhaps the ancient tree of life was waiting for them inside. Chapter 407 - 407 Lake 407 Lake Qin Chen and the others prepared themselves and entered the crack in the void that contained infinite life force. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand, activating it by pouring the divine power in his body into it whilst circulating his Chaotic Divine Body at full throttle. He walked in front. He was the first to enter the spatial rift, followed by Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and Big Scorpion. Upon entering the crack in the void, it was as if they had come to another world. This world was very similar to what they had imagined. They saw a lake, and above it seemed to be a tree. The tree was extremely mystical. With just a glance, people could tell that it was definitely extraordinary. Seeing this, Qin Chen and the others felt a sense of realization. Could this be the ancient tree of life hidden in the crack in the void? The big scorpion could not wait any longer. However, when he saw the lake, he immediately took a step back and stopped. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and smiled bashfully. ¡°Elder King, please, you may go first!¡± Qin Chen looked at the lake. The surface of the lake was calm as if there were no living creatures under it. However, how could the place where the ancient tree of life existed have no living creatures? The surroundings were still incomparably quiet, and they didn¡¯t discover any fluctuations. The only possibility was that fluctuations did exist but were quite possibly hidden. There might be a powerful living being in the lake that devoured all the beings brought to life by the ancient tree of life. Only then could the surroundings be so quiet. Qin Chen and the others were definitely not the first to arrive here. It was said that an expert had once obtained a branch of the ancient tree of life in the Tranquil Land. At this moment, they could see that the ancient tree of life was right in front of them, but there was a lake between them and the tree. The ancient tree of life was in the middle of the lake. ¡°There¡¯s a problem, a huge problem.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s very likely to be dangerous here.¡± Hearing Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s serious reminder, Qin Chen nodded. He had already guessed that there must be some powerful and terrifying unknown creature under the lake. At this point, he wanted to see what kind of creature was in there. With that, he took out an ordinary Supreme Sage weapon and threw it. It was a weapon that was only usable by Supreme Sages, yet Qin Chen simply threw it into the bottom of the lake. Nothing happened at the bottom of the lake. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but frown. Could it be that his speculation was off? Had he guessed wrong? However, at this moment, ripples began to appear on the surface of the water! They could clearly see that some powerful creature seemed to be rioting underwater. Then, the Supreme Sage weapon broke with a crisp sound! The weapon had been reduced to a few pieces and some of the debris had flown up to the surface of the lake. Everyone could see that the Supreme Sage weapon had been completely scrapped. The big scorpion¡¯s heart immediately turned cold. Fortunately, he hadn¡¯t scrambled to be the first to rush in. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would have been the one to die. After all, his body was not as solid as a Supreme Sage weapon. If that terrifying creature were to make a move, the big scorpion would probably be killed in an instant. They did not manage to see what was underneath the water. If they wanted to get close to the ancient tree of life, they had to cross this lake, but that wasn¡¯t easy to do. There must be some terrifying creature under the lake, but they just couldn¡¯t see it. To be able to break a Supreme Sage weapon in an instant, just how terrifying was the creature? Doing so would be impossible even for Qin Chen. As for Holy Maiden Mu Xue, she couldn¡¯t have done it so quickly. Soon, the ripples on the water¡¯s surface calmed down, and the water returned to the silence it had been when they came. It was as if nothing had happened. Only Qin Chen and the others knew that it was simply a fool¡¯s dream for them to cross the lake, and they might even lose their lives. The terrifying underwater monster was definitely no ordinary creature. Since it was so powerful, even Great God-realm experts were probably no match for it. This meant that the other party might be an existence even more terrifying than a Great God. With the ancient tree of life here, even a pig or an ordinary weed would be able to gain sentience and achieve Dao. Most importantly, how should Qin Chen and the rest approach the ancient tree of life? Even if they used all their skills, they might not be a match for the other party. At this moment, the other party was patiently waiting for Qin Chen and the others to tread onto the surface of the lake. Its patience was even greater than when it was waiting for its family. Once Qin Chen and the others step feet into the lake, the creature would abruptly launch another attack and kill them in one strike. From the outcome of the Supreme Sage weapon, Qin Chen and the others could already predict that if they dared to do so, they would definitely end up in the same state as the Supreme Sage weapon. Even a Supreme Sage weapon had been destroyed in an instant, let alone them. No matter how terrifying the Chaotic Divine Body was, Qin Chen might not be able to survive the attack. Thinking of this, Qin Chen could not help but feel a little anxious. Currently, they had not even seen clearly the terrifying existence under the lake. What kind of monster was it? The Supreme Sage weapon had already been broken into pieces and was now completely useless. Fear of the unknown was common. They had to find out what was beneath the surface of the lake. The creature must be extraordinary since it was so powerful. It must have lived for a very long time to have seized such a great opportunity to stay by the ancient tree of life¡¯s side. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others looked at the surface of the lake. Everyone discussed and finally decided to throw out another weapon to see if they could see the terrifying existence. As he thought of this, Qin Chen took out another Great God weapon from his ring. The Great God weapon was obviously more terrifying and powerful than the one before. He even poured some of his divine power into the weapon before throwing the pressure-emitting weapon into the lake. With this, the other party would definitely take the bait. When Qin Chen threw the Supreme Sage weapon in just now, he didn¡¯t activate it at all, and thus the weapon had been just like an ordinary object. Yet, it had managed to cause such a huge reaction. In this case, if Qin Chen infused his divine power into the Great God weapon and made it emit pressure, it would definitely be able to attract the other party. Not long after, the surface of the water once again produced circular ripples. The vibrations were extremely intense as if the entire lake was boiling¡­ Chapter 408 - 408 Old Wyrm 408 Old Wyrm Seeing this terrifying scene, everyone sucked in a cold breath. This was because they saw that the huge black shadow which was about to surface from the water again had a long dragon beard and silver scales. It was a wyrm! Qin Chen and the others determined that the other party might already be close to the final stage of transforming into a true dragon. If the other party managed to achieve such a feat, it would then become a divine beast that had transcended the realm of living beings. It should be known that the true dragon race had already gone extinct in the world and dragons were very rare. It was unknown if they had gone to other places or had simply died off¡­ The old wyrm that they were looking at now was already a rare sight. Although it was not a natural-born true dragon, it could indeed transform into a true dragon through acquired efforts. There was no difference in essence between the two, but the old wyrm had to pay a huge price to achieve such a feat. Qin Chen could instantly sense that the old wyrm had great luck. Otherwise, the other party wouldn¡¯t have been blessed by the heavens and have the opportunity to occupy the void secret realm with the ancient tree of life. After all, that was the ancient tree of life. Even a quasi-emperor realm expert might not have seen it before. The ancient tree of life before their eyes could possibly be the last one in the entire cosmic! If they were to obtain it, the benefits they would gain would be immeasurable. There was once a Buddha who attained enlightenment under the ancient tree of life and stepped into the quasi-emperor realm. From this, it could be seen that the improvement the ancient tree of life gave one was not just limited to rising one¡¯s cultivation realm to the quasi-emperor realm. It was very likely that Qin Chen and the others would gain more benefits from it. Thinking of this, they looked at the old wyrm with full attention. The old wyrm was extremely powerful. It stared at Qin Chen and the others, wanting to kill them. By observing the old wyrm¡¯s aura, they realized that it had already reached the peak of the Great God realm. As for why the other party had reached a bottleneck in this realm, it was because it had yet to take the most crucial step, which was to transform from a wyrm to a dragon. When a wyrm transformed into a dragon, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon¡¯s gate, completing the transition of life. It would then turn into one of the most powerful divine beasts in the world. This old wyrm was definitely the luckiest existence. To think it was such blessed by the heavens that it had managed to seize such a great fortune to cultivate beside the ancient tree of life. This showed how much the other party had gained. There was not a single living being in the void secret realm, but there should have been many in the past, and they were, unfortunately, all killed by the old wyrm. When the old wyrm saw Qin Chen and the others, apprehension rose in its heart. At the thought of this, the old wyrm was ready to attack Qin Chen and the others. Even if the latter were to use their full strength, they might not be the old wyrm¡¯s match. After all, the old wyrm had reached the peak of the Great God realm! The peak of a realm was not something that ordinary people could imagine. To be able to reach such a realm showed that the old wyrm was very powerful. In an instant, the old wyrm floated in the air and spat out a bolt of lightning! The thunderbolt was like a white light that pierced through the sky, charging toward the crowd. If they were hit, their bodies and souls might be destroyed in an instant. Even their primordial spirit would not be able to escape. At that time, they would not even be able to reincarnate. However, Qin Chen and the others moved to block the attack. The black palm print that Holy Maiden Mu Xue had left on Qin Chen¡¯s wrist started working. The boundless energy in Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s body was thus converted into divine power by the black palm print and entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. In an instant, the divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body surged wildly. He felt as if his meridians were about to explode. With a firm grip on the innate sword embryo, he poured all his divine power into it, providing it with endless support. With that, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might! The energy of chaos filled the air, shocking everyone. Then, the energy fiercely collided with the thunderbolt in front of them. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand slashed out a beam of sword energy. Accompanied by boundless emperor¡¯s might, the chaotic sword energy collided with the thunderbolt! It caused a violent explosion! Unfortunately, the old wyrm still gained the upper hand in the end. The thunderbolt did not slow down at all, and it struck Qin Chen¡¯s body ruthlessly. In just a single exchange, Qin Chen was covered in blood and severely injured. His Chaotic Divine Body hung in tatters from the thunderbolt to the point his white bones could vaguely be seen. Looking at the old wyrm, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The old wyrm was so powerful. Even the Elder King was in such a sorry state from the clash, unable to withstand a single blow. At the same time, Holy Maiden Mu Xue rushed to Qin Chen¡¯s side. Her heart ached when she saw his injuries. She fed him her natural treasures to help him recover. Qin Chen shook his head. He had been observing the old wyrm. The old fellow clearly had some secrets. Otherwise, it would have long broken through. Yet, the old wyrm had yet to break through. Why? The only highly plausible reason was that the other party had not obtained the true benefits of the ancient tree of life. Could it be that it was unable to approach the ancient tree of life? One had to know that an expert had once taken away a branch of the ancient tree of life. Logically speaking, since the old wyrm was powerful, no restriction should be able to stop it. So, why was it still stuck at the bottleneck? The only explanation was that the bottleneck was the real obstacle it was facing such that it could not obtain the true benefits of the ancient tree of life! Otherwise, the old wyrm might have already taken the final step and completed the transition of life, becoming a divine beast and a member of the true dragon race in the world. At the thought of this, Qin Chen said, ¡°Stop! He didn¡¯t know if the old wyrm could understand him, but seeing that the other party did stop, he knew that the old wyrm could definitely understand human language. Qin Chen continued, ¡°If you want to break through faster, why don¡¯t we join hands to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s benefits? In this way, we¡¯ll all benefit from it and each of us can get what we need. Isn¡¯t that great?¡± After Qin Chen finished his sentence, he gasped for air. His injuries were not ordinary. At this moment, he looked at the old wyrm and saw that the latter seemed to be seriously thinking about it. With that, he knew that there was a chance of success for the matter. If he could persuade the old wyrm to join forces with him and seize the ancient tree of life¡¯s fortune, so what if he gave the other party some benefits and helped it to become a dragon? Once the old wyrm had made a breakthrough and transformed into a true dragon, the ancient tree of life would no longer be of any value to it. The old wyrm pondered for a while before finally nodding. Chapter 409 - 409 The Lake Water is Holy Medicine 409 The Lake Water is Holy Medicine Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he did not need to fight anymore. The old wyrm was simply too powerful. Even the Chaotic Divine Body and the innate sword embryo were no match for it. He barely managed to block one attack from the other party and almost lost his life. As such, he was naturally unwilling to fight with the old wyrm. After all, the old wyrm was a very powerful and terrifying existence. The fact that it was able to reach such a realm was a testament to its strength. How could such a powerful being be ordinary? Therefore, even if Qin Chen wanted to cooperate with the old wyrm, he also had to be careful of the latter backstabbing him. It was easy to dodge an open scheme, but hard to defend against a hidden trap. If he really fell into the hands of this old wyrm, it would be too late for regrets. Qin Chen looked at the old wyrm and nodded. He then asked, ¡°Are there any other terrifying existences under the surface of this lake? ¡± The old wyrm shook its head. It had killed all of them. The void secret realm was a place it needed very much, and it could not let outsiders know about it. If everyone knew that there was a void secret realm on this ancient planet and learn that the ancient tree of life was in the void secret realm, it would certainly attract countless experts. At that time, no matter how powerful it was, it would not be able to fight against so many cultivators. That being said, a former expert had managed to obtain some benefits from this place. He managed to get a branch from the ancient tree of life before leaving. The old wyrm was furious whenever it thought of this. Qin Chen nodded when he saw how frank the old wyrm was. He then looked at the outside world since he had no idea what was going on outside. He had too many questions to ask the old wyrm. Since the old wyrm had been cultivating beside the ancient tree of life, could it probably know about the unknown sounds coming from the spatial rift at another spatial node on the ancient star? Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to rush in and lose his life before he could even react. He asked the old wyrm, who nodded and told him everything it knew. It turned out that the unknown voice in the void crack was something left behind by a terrifying existence who had great strength. Some people didn¡¯t believe in the terror and wanted to try their luck. In the end, they simply lost their little lives inside. Qin Chen was thinking that if he could find out where the unknown voice came from, he might be able to find a chance to live. After all, this terrifying unknown voice had been urging them to go over. It was hard for them not to have doubts. It was possible that the unknown voice was trying to kill Qin Chen and the others. The old wyrm explained. It turned out that it had entered this place by chance. At that time, it was only a wyrm who had just broken through to the Sage realm. Back then, it hadn¡¯t even grown a dragon¡¯s beard when it followed its master here. In the end, its master died a tragic death in the mouth of the terrifying existence under the lake, leaving the wyrm here. At that time, the void secret realm had been bustling with living beings. Unfortunately, the old wyrm had ultimately devoured all those living creatures to make a breakthrough faster. After the wyrm became stronger, none of the creatures was a match for it, and it successfully ate them all. After that, the old wyrm broke through again and again. Then, in his current realm, he reached a bottleneck. Only by taking that last step could it possibly become even more powerful and become an existence above the Great God realm. If one reached that realm, where could one be forbidden to go? Moreover, with the body of a true dragon, many dragon races would naturally come to recognize it as their patriarch. By then, the old wyrm could even establish a faction and make the various dragon races its subordinates. At that time, it would be truly free and unfettered. Unfortunately, all of this was built on the premise that it had broken through to the realm above the Great God realm. However, the bottleneck that it had encountered could not be broken at all. It was indeed as Qin Chen had expected. If the old wyrm had truly obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s benefits, it would certainly not have been stuck at this cultivation bottleneck. In other words, the ancient tree of life was not something that an ordinary person could get close to. Even if the old wyrm waited an eternity and died of old age in there, the seal-like power would still not dissipate. At the thought of this, the old wyrm sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen. Both of them could understand each other¡¯s thoughts, so they quickly realized that it turned out that the ancient tree of life was being protected by some kind of power. What kind of power could it be? Qin Chen and the others could not help but think of the mysterious power that had killed the blood wyrm race expert. Only such a powerful technique could protect the ancient tree of life. The old wyrm nodded. It had lived in this secret realm for more than half its life as per its memory. All of it was only to obtain the benefits of the ancient tree of life. After all, with the help of the ancient tree of life¡¯s power, the old wyrm would certainly be able to break through the final step, and like a carp leaping over the dragon¡¯s gate, transform from a wyrm into a true dragon between heaven and earth. At that time, it would be able to leave the void secret realm. The old wyrm sized up Qin Chen. It seemed to be hesitating whether the latter had the ability to break the ancient tree of life¡¯s seal. As long as they could break the seal open, just obtaining a branch or a leaf from the ancient tree of life would bring great benefit. After all, everything on the ancient tree of life was a treasure, supreme treasure at that. If the old wyrm could refine such a precious item, it would be able to quickly break through to the realm above the Great God realm. This was already the limit that some true dragons could reach. Although true dragons were born in the Sage realm, they still needed to cultivate. Looking at the extreme emperor weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, the old wyrm gladly agreed to join forces with the other party to obtain the benefits of the ancient tree of Life. Whether or not it could break through the most critical step and become a divine beast of the true dragon¡¯s bloodline would depend on this. The old wyrm did not expect that Qin Chen would be able to see through its situation with a single glance and know that it could not obtain the ancient tree of life itself. Otherwise, the old wyrm wouldn¡¯t have been stuck in a bottleneck. It simply couldn¡¯t break through, so it could only wait. This time, it wanted to see if it could obtain the benefits of the ancient tree of life with Qin Chen and the others. The old wyrm really wanted to break through. Speaking of which, this lake also had a very mysterious power, but Qin Chen and the others had not discovered it yet. The old wyrm naturally knew about this. It said to Qin Chen and the rest, ¡°The water in this lake is better than ordinary healing medicine.¡± Chapter 410 - 410 Primordial Spirit Out of the Body 410 Primordial Spirit Out of the Body At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest were already close to the ancient tree of life. According to legends and myths, the ancient tree of life was the origin of everything. However, that was only limited to the legends. Now, there was a light screen in front of them. It was this light screen that represented the power of order that separated them from the ancient tree of life. To approach the ancient tree of life, they would have to think of a way to break the light screen. Unfortunately, even after Qin Chen and the others had used all means, they could not break the light screen. Even the fully activated extreme emperor weapon could not break it. Qin Chen and the others stood on the surface of the lake. The old wyrm seemed to have guessed the result, but it believed that as long as they had an extreme emperor weapon, there was still hope. Then, the old wyrm used its huge body to crash into the light curtain. In just an instant, a huge energy backlash appeared on the light screen and the old wyrm was bounced away. Its impact didn¡¯t have the slightest effect. It was as if this light curtain couldn¡¯t be broken. ¡°There must be a way,¡± Qin Chen thought. He recalled that the ancient tree of life¡¯s barrier was a form of the power of order. Where was the source of this power? Could it be unleashed by the ancient tree of life? With that, Qin Chen sat cross-legged on the surface of the water. The strange thing was that there seemed to be some kind of power rising from the surface of the water. The invisible but perceivable power was like a light spot. It couldn¡¯t be seen even if one opened their eyes. The old wyrm exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Is it about to break?¡± It had never seen such a thing happen here, but the light spot was indeed being controlled by Qin Chen. He carefully felt the power of the light barrier before him. There must be some kind of source, but he had yet to find it. When he thought of this, he spread out his spiritual will and attached it to the light screen. The light screen itself was made up of the power of order, to begin with. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual sense passed straight through it! In other words, his spiritual will could approach the ancient tree of life! Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will continued to advance. At this point, he had completely covered the ancient tree of life with his spiritual will. The ancient tree of life was extremely mysterious. It benefited Qin Chen¡¯s spirit will a lot and gave him considerable improvement. In the past, Qin Chen would not have dared to imagine that the spiritual will that he had always needed to go to great lengths to maintain would not consume much of his energy now. On the contrary, it was constantly getting stronger! It was as if the ancient tree of life was providing Qin Chen with energy. However, Qin Chen was still unable to break through the barrier. He could not do it with his spiritual will. How did that expert manage to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch back then? Qin Chen quickly opened his eyes and retracted his spiritual will. In an instant, his spiritual will retreated from the ancient tree of life, passed through the light screen, and returned to Qin Chen¡¯s body. He looked at the old wyrm and asked, ¡°How did that expert take away the branch of the ancient tree of life back then?¡± How did he get it? The old wyrm slowly spoke, ¡°Back then, when that expert obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch, he seemed to have discovered something and triggered some kind of change. However, it was far more powerful than the one you triggered earlier.¡± In that case, Qin Chen¡¯s train of thought in solving the problem was correct. He then looked at the old wyrm and said, ¡°In other words, he did the same when he obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch?¡± Old wyrm nodded to show that Qin Chen was right. With that, Qin Chen closed his eyes again. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion all looked at the Elder King. The Elder King was already comprehending the Great Path of heaven and earth. It was definitely impossible to break the light barrier. Since he couldn¡¯t, he might as well refine it. At the thought of this, Qin Chen claimed his mind down and looked at the screen. The light screen was very powerful. It seemed to carry some kind of power. It was a pity that although the light screen was powerful, it could not be refined by Qin Chen. After all, it was just too powerful. Very quickly, many spiritual wills appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s body. These spiritual wills were the power that formed the primordial spirit. Now, these spiritual wills were constantly converging forward, turning into a glowing figure that looked exactly like Qin Chen. The figure was like a duplicate of Qin Chen. No one could understand what the Elder King was doing. Was his soul leaving his body? Doing that would be too easy. What Qin Chen was doing now was not only making his soul out of his body but also transferring all his emotions and abilities. He wanted to use his soul power to shake the rule of order and see if it would be effective. Since his spiritual will was able to penetrate the light curtain and approach the ancient tree of life, it meant that the light curtain¡¯s power was incapable of resisting his primordial spirit. As he thought of this, the miniature Qin Chen who was glowing with light, moved forward. He easily passed through the light curtain, causing everyone to let out a burst of exclamations. They did not expect that the unbreakable light curtain could be passed through so easily by the soul power. Was it that only soul power could pass through the rule of order? Everyone was shocked and looked at Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen was getting closer to the ancient tree of life. Unfortunately, only after he approached the ancient tree of life did he realize that he couldn¡¯t exert his power without a physical body. He could not shake the ancient tree of life with his soul power alone. In other words, he could not take away the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves. The most important things on the ancient tree of life were its branches and leaves. If they could take them away, they could even break the light curtain. But now, Qin Chen could not take them away. This was because only his soul power had entered, and his primordial spirit was unable to unleash the divine power of his physical body. The divine power of his physical body was still in his body and could not be mobilized. In other words, only souls could pass through the power of order in this area. Who had left this behind? Qin Chen pondered for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he had entered another realm. He was completely stunned and didn¡¯t move at all. His eyes were also dazed. He suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It was as if he was on the verge of death. He couldn¡¯t see anything, and it was as if his consciousness had stopped. Chapter 411 - 411 Failed Enlightenment 411 Failed Enlightenment However, everyone was shocked because Qin Chen had sent his primordial spirit power into the light screen. He was actually comprehending Dao inside! It was extremely difficult to comprehend the Great Path of heaven and earth, yet unexpectedly, Qin Chen could do it with his soul power! The big scorpion could not help but exclaim, ¡°I¡¯ve said it before that the Elder King is definitely no ordinary person. Perhaps he is following the path of the Buddha. It is said that there was once a Buddha who attained enlightenment under the ancient tree of Life and became a quasi-emperor, becoming a powerful figure.¡± Everyone was extremely curious about the changes that the ancient tree of life had brought to Qin Chen. Could it be that once his soul power returned to his body, his cultivation would skyrocket and he would become a powerful expert? These were all unknown for the time being. After all, Qin Chen was still slowly comprehending the Great Path of heaven and earth. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t tell what kind of Great Path this was, but he could feel that he was in a wonderful state. His thoughts slowed, and gradually, the light on his body seemed to be guided by the ancient tree of light that condensed into a beam of light and fell on Qin Chen¡¯s body. His consciousness completely awakened at this moment. Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit opened his eyes. He seemed to have felt something just now but had completely forgotten now. It was a mysterious feeling that disappeared in a flash. After this, Qin Chen wanted to return. His primordial spirit easily passed through the light screen and returned to his body. Qin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the surface of the lake, opened his eyes. He could feel that his soul seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and his primordial spirit had become stronger. His soul aura was incomparably heavy, and he felt as if he had received a huge upgrade. Everyone was bewildered. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t broken through to the God realm yet and was but a level 8 Supreme Sage, yet his soul could still become stronger. ¡°How did it go? Did you find anything?¡± The old wyrm hurriedly asked. It seemed to be very eager to hear from Qin Chen that he had found a way to break the light curtain. However, currently, only the primordial spirit¡¯s power of the soul could pass through the light screen and approach the ancient tree of life. Nothing else could enter the barrier. Whether it was the extreme emperor weapon or the old wyrm, their powers could not break the light curtain nor shake the power of order at all. God knows who had left behind this power of order, but it had become heaven-defying after countless years. It restricted everyone¡¯s physical bodies from entering the light curtain. It was undeniable that the light barrier was extremely powerful, so much so that only the soul could enter. The old wyrm seemed a little impatient. How could they break the light curtain? It looked at the light curtain with anger in its eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to break it¡­¡± The old wyrm had always wanted to break through the light barrier. It was already at the peak of the Great God realm and had been stuck at this bottleneck for too long, stopping it from completing the step of transforming into a dragon. It wanted to continue to improve its cultivation realm. Only by solving the problem of transforming into a dragon could it continue to break through. There was only one way for the old wyrm to master the process of dragon transformation, and that was to use the ancient life tree¡¯s branches and leaves. Perhaps only then would it have a slight chance. Otherwise, it would have to wait for countless years. Qin Chen continued to walk towards the light screen. He placed both of his hands on the light screen, but it only seemed to ripple like water. There was no way to break it. No matter how terrifying the power inflicted on the light curtain was, it seemed to be able to block it outside. Everyone who saw this felt depressed. After all, the only way to enter that they had now found was to use the primordial spirit. Yet, going in with one¡¯s primordial spirit was not very useful. At most, it could only make one¡¯s soul stronger. For example, although Qin Chen failed to comprehend the Great Path of heaven and earth this time, his soul had improved significantly and become more powerful. On the other hand, everyone¡¯s current goal was to break through the light barrier and obtain the ancient life tree¡¯s branches and leaves to refine and improve their cultivation prowess. They couldn¡¯t waste too much time here. Qin Chen also knew that he didn¡¯t have much time left. Perhaps before long, the world would be in chaos. When the real chaos arrived, countless dangers would pounce on him. If he was not strong enough, he would be crushed to death. At this moment, Qin Chen could feel that there was some kind of power on the light screen. But when he looked over, he found nothing. As such, Qin Chen closed his eyes and used his heart to sense. All of a sudden, his entire body trembled! He could sense that the light curtain seemed to contain the Great Path of heaven and earth. The power of the Great Path was rather mysterious, and he could not describe it with words. It didn¡¯t seem to belong to any of the Great Paths of heaven and earth that he had seen before but was an extremely special power. The Dao patterns were too profound, and they seemed to be alive as they flowed within the light barrier. Was this the reason why they couldn¡¯t break through the light barrier? If they could master the origin of the Great Path of heaven and earth on the light curtain, they might be able to break it. However, at this moment, Qin Chen did not realize that the mysterious power of the Great Path on the light screen had discovered him as well. It surged towards his hands, entering his body. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was instantly activated to the extreme, erupting with terrifying power! Everyone could not help but be shocked. Could it be that the Elder King had discovered something? Only Qin Chen himself knew that his current state was extremely worrying. After the mysterious power of the Great Path of heaven and earth entered his body, Dao patterns that seemed to have a life of their own appeared on his Chaotic Divine Body. The patterns were very mystical. He quickly pulled his hand away, but whatever was happening was done in that instant. In other words, the heaven and earth Dao patterns in the light barrier had entered Qin Chen¡¯s body! At this moment, Qin Chen said to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, ¡°Attack me. I can feel that something has entered my body.¡± Qin Chen wanted to check and see if the mysterious Dao patterns in his body would cause him any problems. As such, he stared at Holy Maiden Mu Xue and instructed her. Holy Maiden Mu Xue nodded. She was a little bewildered. Could it be that Qin Chen had obtained some kind of fortune from the light screen? Chapter 412 - 412 The Mysterious Heaven and Earth Dao Pattern 412 The Mysterious Heaven and Earth Dao Pattern Holy Maiden Mu Xue didn¡¯t say anything more and threw a punch at Qin Chen. The force of this punch was very strong. If Qin Chen could not take it, she would stop immediately to dissipate the force. However, Qin Chen did not dodge at all. Instead, he took the initiative to charge forward. This punch landed heavily on him. In an instant, all the heaven and earth Dao patterns in his body seemed to come alive and dissipate this force. It was as if he had not come into contact with the terrifying power at all. Even the impact had been dissolved. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. No matter how casual her punch just now had been, there should at least be some reaction even if she controlled her strength, right? Could it be that Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was so monstrously strong that it had already reached such a level? Qin Chen knew that it was the work of the Great Path of heaven and earth. The mysterious Dao patterns seemed to be protecting him. If he was in danger, it would appear on his body to defend him. It should be known that this was much stronger than the Chaotic Divine Body. If he didn¡¯t have the Dao patterns of the mysterious Great Path of heaven and earth, he would be injured if he tried to receive Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s punch with just his Chaotic Divine Body. After all, the Chaotic Divine Body¡¯s defensive power was not as terrifying. But at this moment, the Dao patterns had made up for Qin Chen¡¯s obvious weakness. Could it be that his current physical body could be compared to that of a Great God-realm expert? The realm above the God realm was the Great Gof level. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was currently a top expert in the Great God realm. To think he could resist her casual attack. The mysterious heaven and earth Great Path¡¯s Dao patterns truly shocked Qin Chen. Qin Chen revealed the Dao patterns in his body, and everyone exclaimed in surprise. Wasn¡¯t this the power of the light screen? They had never seen these Dao patterns before, but they could feel that the aura on the light screen was very similar to the one on Qin Chen. What was going on? At this moment, Qin Chen wanted to see how powerful he had become. He threw a punch at the surrounding void. With that, even the lake started to shake, and the void shattered for thousands of miles. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. No one expected Qin Chen¡¯s casual test of his current strength would be so terrifying. If he was allowed to break through, how terrifying would he be in the future? All of this was thanks to the light screen. The old wyrm couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous. If it could obtain such an upgrade, it would probably become much stronger. Qin Chen was currently thinking about something else. The heaven and earth Dao patterns seemed to have a life of their own. This was not a good thing. Up until now, he had yet to discover what consequences these Dao patterns of heaven and earth would bring to him. He only knew that they would protect him in times of danger. The old wyrm looked at Qin Chen, wanting to know how he managed to break the light curtain and obtain such great benefits. Meanwhile, Qin Chen had the old wyrm transform into human form and told it that it could feel it if it placed its hands on the light screen. Then, the old wyrm transformed into its human form with a skeptical look. This was the first time it had transformed into a human form. It had turned into a burly man. Following this, it walked to the light screen and placed its hand on it. It could feel as though the light screen had a life of its own hidden within. Countless Dao patterns of heaven and earth were flowing through the old wyrm¡¯s hands into its body! Such a shocking scene was happening in front of the old wyrm. It felt that the mysterious Dao patterns of heaven and earth seemed to have appeared in its body as well. It was instantly excited. Could it be that the strength of its physical body had also become stronger? Then, it had a crazy idea. It wanted to try and see if the innate sword embryo could cut its skin. With the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen unleashed his divine power and activated the extreme emperor weapon. With that, the world was filled with terrifying pressure, and countless emperor¡¯s might rushed forward. After that, Qin Chen used the innate sword embryo to cut the old wyrm¡¯s hand, but not a single mark was left! There was not even a scratch! Just as the old wyrm felt the sharp innate sword embryo trying to cut its hand, the terrifying heaven and earth Dao patterns that were flowing in its body appeared on its hand and blocked the attack for it! What kind of power was this Dao pattern? Why had it never heard of it before? To think the Dao patterns formed by the light screen had such unbelievable power. This was not a good thing though. When the old wyrm wanted to force the Dao patterns of heaven and earth out of its body, its eyes suddenly flew open in shock! Unexpectedly, the Dao patterns couldn¡¯t be forced out of its body. Could it be that it couldn¡¯t strip them off? Had the Dao patterns fused with its body? The old wyrm then tried to force this power out again. The heaven and earth Dao patterns seemed to have a life of their own as they circulated in its body. It could not find their exact location. The old wyrm steeled itself and used all its strength to expel the Dao patterns from its body. After all, even though the Dao patterns were powerful, they definitely had some kind of side effect. The old wyrm didn¡¯t want to wait to be suddenly tricked by the power at any critical moment. Seeing this, Qin Chen waited patiently. He wanted to see if the old wyrm could force the Dao patterns out of its body. Before the old wyrm succeeded, what followed was that the heaven and earth Dao patterns that entered the old wyrm¡¯s body began to devour the demonic power in its body for the first time! Soon, it devoured a lot of the old wyrm¡¯s demonic energy, causing the old wyrm¡¯s eyes to widen. What the hell was this? To think it could enter its body at will and devour its demonic power, but it couldn¡¯t force it out? It was as if the Dao patterns had settled down in the old wyrm¡¯s body. Qin Chen was also shocked. Could it be that this thing could devour his divine power as well? When he thought of this, Qin Chen tried it out. Indeed, he was right. When he reached that step, the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth in his body seemed to be enraged, and started to devour his divine power! Qin Chen¡¯s divine power was much more abundant than an ordinary person¡¯s. Among cultivators of the same realm, he was already superior to all other cultivators. No one could exceed the amount of divine power stored in his body. Yet now, it was being devoured at an astonishing rate. It was as if the Dao patterns of heaven and earth had a life of their own as they devoured Qin Chen¡¯s divine power, consuming it at a crazy rate! Chapter 413 - 413 Fate Heaven Dao Seed 413 Fate Heaven Dao Seed Qin Chen was also panicking. This was even more terrifying than the black handprint that Holy Maiden Mu Xue had left on his hand. He didn¡¯t know what he should do to force the mysterious Dao patterns out of his body. For now, the mysterious Dao patterns were definitely not as simple as they had thought. It was simply too evil. To think he was unable to force them out of his body. Could it be that the Dao patterns were like a curse? Qin Chen and the old wyrm did not expect it to be so. In other words, the mysterious Dao patterns in their bodies might even threaten their lives, right? After all, if the mysterious heaven and earth Dao patterns suddenly devoured the divine power or demonic power in their bodies at a critical moment, wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent to their cultivation prowess being crippled instantly? Without divine power or demonic power, no matter how strong their attacks and secret techniques were, they could not use them. They could only be slaughtered since their strength would have been reduced by more than half. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the old wyrm looked at each other at the same time, their hearts filled with shock and doubt. At the same time, Holy Maiden Mu Xue stopped the big scorpion who was about to place his hand on the light screen to see if there was any opportunity that could help him become stronger. When he saw that Qin Chen and old wyrm had both become extremely powerful, he could not help but feel excited. However, after being stopped by Holy Maiden Mu Xue, he turned to look at Qin Chen and the old wyrm and saw that both of them had deep fear in their eyes. They were obviously shocked. Why were they so afraid? Could it be that there was a problem with the opportunity in the light curtain? The big scorpion felt a lingering fear and quickly took a few steps back. He had almost put his hands on it just now. The old wyrm revealed a bitter smile. It had already tried all sorts of methods, but it was still unable to expel the Dao patterns from its body. Qin Chen had also tried but failed to force out the mysterious Dao patterns. What was this thing? How could it be so terrifying? Although it could strengthen one¡¯s defense and physical strength, it also devoured one¡¯s divine power or demonic power. Once one¡¯s divine power or demonic power were taken away during a great battle, it would be a disaster. No matter how strong one¡¯s defense was, there would be a time when one could not withstand the enemy¡¯s attacks and would thus most likely be killed by the enemy. Qin Chen and the old wyrm could not accept dying at the hands of their enemies like this. They kept trying all kinds of methods to force out the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth from the light screen. However, it was extremely difficult. It was as if this thing had a life of its own and was stuck in their bodies. No matter what methods they used, they could not force it out. Qin Chen walked straight toward the light screen. At this moment, the mysterious Great Path of heaven and earth¡¯s Dao patterns had been absorbed into his party. Since things had come to this, he had nothing to be afraid of. However, what he did not expect was that when his hands touched the light screen, the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth in his body were condensed on his hands. In an instant, he passed through the light screen. He had truly passed through it as a complete physical entity! Everyone exclaimed in shock. Even the old wyrm was extremely shocked. Could it be that only by allowing the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth to enter one¡¯s body could one pass through the light screen? At the thought of this, the old wyrm quickly went over, wanting to test if its guess was right. It then touched the light screen with its hands. As long as it could pass through the light screen, it would be able to enter and see if it could obtain the ancient tree of life. The ancient tree of life was, after all, a treasure that the old wyrm had dreamed of obtaining. If it could obtain the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life, it would certainly be able to take the final step after refining its gains. It would be able to transform into a dragon and become a divine beast of the true dragon race. In the end, the old wyrm succeeded. Its hands also entered the light screen and successfully reached in. The old wyrm and Qin Chen saw shock and joy in each other¡¯s eyes. Was this bad news for them? Of course, it was not entirely bad. After all, they were now able to pass through the light screen. This light screen was formed by a type of power of order, and there were even Dao patterns of the Great Path between heaven and earth within it. Even though the Dao patterns had entered their bodies and they were unable to expel them, their hands were now able to pass through the light screen. This was very rare. Instantly, Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something. The system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully checked in at the ancient tree of life and obtained the fate heaven Dao seed! [Fate Heavenly Dao Seed: A God-realm Dao seed. It contains one of the Great Paths of the ancient tree of life. It can increase the potential of the owner. It will be of great help during cultivation. It is extremely rare.] Only after Qin Chen¡¯s hands could pass through the light screen did the system allow him to check in here. He did not expect to obtain the Dao seed from the ancient tree of life. The Dao seed was very important to cultivators. Since he had obtained the Dao seed, there was no reason for him not to use it. With that, a flame-like spark suddenly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s body. In an instant, his mind became clear. This was the Dao seed that helped cultivators immerse in the Great Path of heaven and earth faster and be enlightened of the Great Path¡¯s truths. The fate heavenly Dao seed that Qin Chen had obtained was a top-notch God-realm one. Usually, it would only appear on ancient great emperors. Those figures once possessed Dao seeds, though they had refined such items themselves. In contrast, the system had given Qin Chen the God-realm Dao seed from the ancient tree of life¡¯s Great Path. Thinking of this, Qin Chen roared with laughter. Even the old wyrm could feel that Qin Chen was a little different now. Did this human cultivator make another breakthrough? The old wyrm was very sensitive. It looked at Qin Chen and realized that it could not see through this human cultivator. The good thing was that they had found a way to cross over, and that was to absorb the Dao patterns of the heaven and earth Great Path into their bodies. With that, they would be able to pass through the light screen and obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves. No one had expected that they would need to do this to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s benefits. Chapter 414 - 414 Burning the Tree 414 Burning the Tree Qin Chen and the old wyrm were overjoyed to learn how to enter the light screen. They could not force out the Dao patterns of heaven and earth in their bodies anyway. Although these mysterious Dao patterns would devour the divine power or demonic power in their bodies, they would just let them be. Then, the two absorbed the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth into their bodies. The Dao patterns of heaven and earth were endless, and soon, Qin Chen and the old wyrm¡¯s bodies were covered with Dao patterns. Following this, they wanted to enter but realized that they were just a little bit short. Yet, the absorption of the last bit of Dao patterns was extremely slow. It was as though there was a repulsive force when one absorbed too many Dao patterns. That being said, to enter the light screen barrier and obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves, they continued to absorb the energy in a frenzy. They didn¡¯t expect that just the absorption of the last bit of Dao patterns would take them a few hours. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion saw that Qin Chen¡¯s body was covered with glowing Dao patterns. It was as if he was entirely covered in something. They couldn¡¯t bear to see Qin Chen fight so desperately. Qin Chen and the old wyrm absorbed enough Dao patterns of the mysterious heaven and earth¡¯s Great Path almost at the same time. With that, they decided to enter the light screen. The two went together. The light screen seemed to have acknowledged the two of them because their bodies were already covered with mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth. With Qin Chen and the old wyrm¡¯s efforts, the two managed to pass through the light barrier, and finally saw the ancient tree of life. The ancient tree of life looked extremely terrifying. The pressure it emitted alone was enough to make the two of them tremble in fear. Be it Qin Chen, a level 8 Supreme Sage realm cultivator, or the old wyrm, a peak Great God-realm demon, they were both stunned. At the same time, an even more terrifying life force was emitted by the ancient tree of life. Just by being next to the ancient tree of life, the two felt as if they had become a few years younger. The cells in their bodies began to become active, and every element that made up their bodies was jubilant. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this is the ancient tree of life?¡± Qin Chen asked in surprise. This was the first time he had seen the ancient tree of life up close. The old wyrm was trembling. It was finally able to complete the final step. Now, it only needed to pluck the branches and leaves from the ancient tree of life. With that, it would definitely be able to take the last step and become a true dragon! From then on, it would become a divine beast between heaven and earth, completing the transition of life. Qin Chen walked towards the ancient tree of life step by step and placed his hand on the branch. The power emitted by this supreme treasure was shocking to them. He wanted to snap the branch but he did not expect the ancient tree of life to be so tough that it could not be broken easily. Then, Qin Chen took out the extreme emperor weapon from his storage ring and immediately activated the divine power in his body, pouring it into the weapon. An emperor¡¯s might spread out, moving to the area in front of him. Qin Chen slashed out a strike of chaotic sword energy, wanting to cut off a branch of the ancient tree of life. He did not expect to fail. After the ancient tree of life was cut, it quickly recovered and bounced the innate sword embryo away. This was something that Qin Chen had never expected. The old wyrm refused to admit defeat. It transformed into its true form, an incomparably huge wyrm! Then, it wrung its claws on a leaf, but it didn¡¯t expect that it just couldn¡¯t pick the leaf. It couldn¡¯t pick even just a leaf. It was as if it wasn¡¯t strong enough. The old wyrm was very shocked as well. Could it be that the ancient tree of life was a treasure mountain that could only be seen but not obtained? They were now standing in front of a treasure mountain, but they could not move even a corner of it. The ancient tree of life was a precious treasure. The two of them wanted to pluck its branches and leaves, but they realized that they could not do it. Even the extreme emperor weapon could not cut off the branches. God knows how terrifyingly tough the tree was. Qin Chen slashed out with his sword again, and the old wyrm¡¯s sharp senses discovered that the innate sword embryo had actually cut the tree a little. However, the wound was instantly healed by the powerful life force and the innate sword embryo was squeezed out. What should they do? The two could not think of a solution at the moment. They looked at the ancient tree of life and wondered how they could break the branches and pluck the leaves from it. Qin Chen was in disbelief. He activated his Chaotic Divine Body and unleashed a terrifying aura, shaking the void. The order of chaos appeared in front of him. Then, he injected all his divine power into the innate sword embryo again. The extreme emperor weapon was activated and the terrifying pressure burst out again. With the innate sword embryo in his hand, he swung his sword forward. The power of this strike was the result of him going all out. It should be able to cut off a section of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. The result disappointed Qin Chen once again. His sword did not cut off the branch of the ancient tree of life. On the contrary, the ancient tree of life bounced the innate sword embryo away. Qin Chen even took a few steps back as if he had been bounced back by the force. The old wyrm roared in rage. It wanted to see if the ancient tree of life could really defy the heavens today. With that, it immediately opened its mouth and bit the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves! It wanted to swallow the leaf directly and refine it. The huge dragon¡¯s head bit on a leaf from the ancient tree that reached into the sky. Yet, no matter how the wyrm shook its head, trying to pull the leaf off, the leaf was unbudging. It couldn¡¯t pull it off, and instead simply left a lot of dragon saliva on it. Qin Chen thought of something. Since he couldn¡¯t take it away, he might as well learn from the old wyrm and refine the leaf on the spot. He no longer tried to cut the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. Instead, he wanted to pluck a leaf. He imitated the old wyrm and bit down on it, but he could not even chew through a single leaf. After struggling for a long time, it was as if the two of them were playing around. Finally, they unwillingly gave up this method. Qin Chen thought hard. Now, the biggest problem in front of them had been solved. They had managed to pass through the light screen. The ancient tree of life was placed right before their eyes, yet they could not obtain even a part of it. They could not even refine it. They could not cut the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches, nor could they pluck its leaves. Looking at the ancient tree of life exuding a strong vitality, Qin Chen was furious with impatience. He must find a way to pluck as many leaves as he could from the ancient tree of Life. Since he couldn¡¯t break the branches, he would start with the leaves. Soon, Qin Chen thought of a way, which was to try using the Green Lotus Demonic Flame. ¡°I don¡¯t care what kind of tree you are. Today, I¡¯m going to burn you.¡± Chapter 415 - 415 Transformation 415 Transformation The Green Lotus Demonic Flame was a flame that could burn even quasi-emperor-realm experts. If he burned the tree with the Green Lotus Demonic Flame, he should be able to burn off a branch or a leaf. As long as he could get some branches and leaves, Qin Chen would be satisfied. With that, a terrifying flame emerged from Qin Chen¡¯s body, like a green lotus blooming under his feet. It was a lotus flower formed from flames. At that moment, petals were floating toward the ancient tree of life. Every single petal was condensed from flames. It was extremely terrifying. They instantly landed on the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch and began to burn intensely! Unfortunately, the flames that were supposed to be inextinguishable could not burn the ancient tree of life at all. At this point, the two of them had no idea what they could do. Qin Chen saw that the Green Lotus Demonic Flame could not even burn a single leaf. On the contrary, it seemed to be slowly being extinguished. He was very depressed. How could he deal with the ancient tree of life? Qin Chen hurriedly asked the old wyrm, ¡°How did the person who once obtained a section of the ancient tree of life manage to do it? ¡± The old wyrm looked at Qin Chen and said slowly, ¡°When he first entered the light screen, no one knew what he did. But when he left, a branch was in his hand.¡± Thinking of this, Qin Chen was extremely enraged. Once again, he charged at the ancient tree of life with the innate sword embryo in his hand. He struck the tree with his sword, but it bounced off again. No matter how powerful they were, as long as they didn¡¯t cut off the branch or pluck the leaf in one strike, the tree¡¯s huge vitality would instantly restore the wound. It seemed like he couldn¡¯t take the ordinary path. As Qin Chen thought of this, he took out the Chaos Divine Ring. Although it was a soul weapon, it should still be able to play some role. Now, Qin Chen was making a Hail Mary effort to see if there would be any miraculous effects. He injected his spiritual power into the Chaos Divine Ring. In an instant, the Chaos Divine Ring flew out! However, it simply floated over the ancient tree of life ferociously but could not come into contact with the tree at all. Qin Chen was extremely furious. Following this, the Chaos Divine Ring turned into a golden light and returned to his body. Qin Chen was now much weaker and looked extremely exhausted. The old wyrm was quite shocked. It did not expect Qin Chen to have so many treasures. Just the innate sword embryo was already enough to shock it. Who would have thought that Qin Chen would also have a golden ring that seemed extremely terrifying? Unfortunately, it was still incapable of causing any damage to the ancient tree of life. Qin Chen¡¯s mind raced with thoughts of how he could break the branch and pluck the leaves of the ancient tree of life. One must know that this was a precious treasure. Even if it was given to an ordinary person to refine, they would be able to become a cultivator after devouring it. Yet, the two of them could not do anything to the ancient tree of life at all. What should they do? Qin Chen¡¯s mind was blank. He had tried almost all the methods he had thought of. Just now, he had even almost lost consciousness because the Chaos Divine Ring had drained all his soul power. He forced himself to sit on the ground and kept thinking. There must be a way. How did the last expert do it? Qin Chen kept thinking about this question. Outside the light screen, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion were worried about Qin Chen. They did not expect that even Qin Chen would not be able to obtain the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life. One had to know that those were supreme treasures, but it seemed that Qin Chen and the old wyrm could not get their hands on them. Only by swallowing the leaf could the medicinal effects be unleashed. This supreme treasure was the ancient tree of life before them. No one knew how long it had existed in the world. Qin Chen looked at the ground and discovered something. A tender shoot had grown at the bottom of the ancient tree of life. Could this be the ancient tree of life¡¯s seed? Thinking of this, Qin Chen tried to pull out the shoot of the ancient tree of life. This time, he did not encounter any obstacles. It was entirely because the roots of the ancient tree of life¡¯s shoot hadn¡¯t penetrated too deep into the ground yet. Qin Chen held the tender shoot of the ancient tree of life in his hand and was extremely excited. Even the old wyrm¡¯s eyes turned red. After all, it had not obtained anything yet, and Qin Chen had already obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s shoot. It was slightly excited, but there were no more shoots around the ancient tree of life. Qin Chen held the shoot of the ancient tree of life in his hand, then put it away. It should be known that this was a treasure. Even without the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves, it was still enough to astonish everyone. The old wyrm refused to admit defeat. It once again tried to pluck a leaf off the tree. However, no matter how hard it tried, the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves seemed to have grown stuck on the tree. They simply couldn¡¯t pluck the leaves of the ancient tree of life no matter what they did. How could they obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches? Qin Chen and the old wyrm had exhausted all their strength but were still unable to get the leaves of the ancient tree of life. Instead, they were exhausted. Not long after, the ancient tree of life started slowly emitting energy fluctuations. The fluctuation was like a storm, invading Qin Chen and the old wyrm¡¯s bodies. The old wyrm had lived for countless years and looked extremely old. But now, under the effects of the ancient tree of life¡¯s fluctuations, it seemed to be turning younger. It was as if it had regained its youth. Given such vitality, Qin Chen also felt that he was slowly becoming younger. The vitality in his body was becoming stronger and stronger, making him seem like a human-shaped primordial beast. The old wyrm and Qin Chen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other¡¯s hearts. They did not expect the ancient tree of life to have such an ability to allow both of them to undergo such a great transformation. One had to know that this was something that no amount of heavenly treasures could do. They were merely standing by the ancient tree of life¡¯s side, yet they underwent such a change just by being affected by the fluctuations. Qin Chen and the old wyrm¡¯s eyes lit up. This further proved that the ancient tree of life was a treasure. It made them want to obtain the branches and leaves even more. If they could succeed, it would definitely make them even more powerful. However, when the two thought about the great tenacity of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves, they realized that they could not do anything even after they had exhausted all their skills. Chapter 416 - 416 Successfully Break It? 416 Successfully Break It? Suddenly, Qin Chen felt discouraged. It was simply too hard to get a part of the ancient tree of life. One could only imagine the extent of the ancient tree of life¡¯s power since it could withstand the attack of the innate sword embryo. Outside the light screen, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion also felt the fluctuation of vitality, though it had become very weak by the time it reached them. It also caused them to undergo quite a bit of change, which surprised them greatly. The big scorpion¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation. If the Elder King could bring out the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves, he would definitely be able to break through to the God realm. Thinking of this, he was filled with infinite expectations as he looked at Qin Chen and the old wyrm who were on the other side of the light screen. How could he remove the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves? Qin Chen conjured many methods in his mind, but he rejected them all. The reason was that the life force of the ancient tree of life was just too strong. Although the innate sword embryo could hurt the ancient tree of life, it could only open a small cut in the tree before it was bounced back. The tree would instantly repair the crack. It simply couldn¡¯t be cut. The old wyrm was equally anxious. It wanted to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves as soon as possible. Only then would it be able to break through immediately. The thought of becoming a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth, and completing the transition of life, made the old wyrm extremely excited. The opportunity was right in front of it, yet it could not find a way to get the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves. Qin Chen suddenly recalled that he had just obtained the fate heavenly Dao seed, which was an extremely powerful item. It was a Dao seed from the ancient tree of life¡¯s Great Path. At this moment, it was in Qin Chen¡¯s body. He silently activated the swaying fate heavenly Dao seed in his body. All at once, his perception of the outside world seemed to have become even sharper. He could actually see many intertwining Great Paths of heaven and earth on the ancient tree of life. One should know that such a matter wasn¡¯t easy to achieve. Looking at the old wyrm before him, it also had some kind of heaven and earth Great Path. It was a pity that the old wyrm¡¯s Great Path was too weak in comparison to the Great Paths on the ancient tree of life. The Great Path of heaven and earth on the old wyrm¡¯s body had the Dao pattern that it had absorbed to pass through the light screen. Qin Chen had the same Dao patterns. He did not know what these mysterious Dao patterns of heaven and earth were, but he might be able to use the fate heavenly Dao seed to refine them and thus control the Great Path of heaven and earth. With that, the problem with the Dao patterns could be resolved invisibly. If he had not obtained the fate heavenly Dao seed, Qin Chen would not have dared to have such thoughts. Now that he had the Dao seed, he could try to comprehend and control the Dao patterns of heaven and earth. Looking at the ancient tree of life in front of him, he saw countless Great Paths of many types. Furthermore, almost all of them were very similar, and one would easily mistake them for another. However, the fate heavenly Dao seed in Qin Chen¡¯s body came from the Great Path of heaven and earth on the ancient tree of life, which was the Great Path of fate. This path was extremely mysterious. If one could control the Great Path of fate, one could change one¡¯s own fate and peek into the secrets of heaven. However, Qin Chen had no way of doing so now. That being said, he could control it a little. After all, the fate heavenly Dao seed was in his body. He then controlled the fate heavenly Dao seed¡¯s power and pressed it down on the ancient tree of life. At that moment, it was as if the fate heavenly Dao seed in Qin Chen¡¯s body had connected with the Great Path of fate on the ancient tree of life! He twisted with all his might and shook the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. In other words, it was much easier for him to break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches now. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart filled with joy. As expected, his deduction was correct. With that, he exerted force, and with a ¡°crack¡±, the old wyrm¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief! Meanwhile, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion, who were standing outside the light screen, were ecstatic. It was because Qin Chen had actually broken off a branch of the ancient tree of life. There were even a few leaves on the branch! The old wyrm was shocked, feeling as if its heart had suffered a huge blow. It was clearly stronger than Qin Chen, who was only a level 8 Supreme Sage realm human cultivator. How could the other party be compared to a top expert like it at the peak of the Great God realm? Even the old wyrm could not break the branch of the ancient tree of life, yet Qin Chen had succeeded. ¡°It¡¯s broken!¡± The big scorpion was pleasantly surprised. This meant that Qin Chen could bring out the branch of the ancient tree of life. They had seen how the old wyrm had failed to break the branches of the ancient tree of life even though it had used its body to knock against the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. It had also used its huge dragon head to bite the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaf but failed to break it as well. As such, they were naturally very calm about the fact that Qin Chen was unable to break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. But now, Qin Chen had once again exceeded their expectations. To think he had managed to break a branch of the ancient tree of life! This was very surprising They didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to be able to do this. Qin Chen smiled. He looked at the branch of the ancient tree of life in his hand and walked out of the light curtain. The old wyrm was also in shock. It wanted to test if it had become stronger after being affected by the huge fluctuation of life force. If that were the case, could it break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches as well? It then transformed into its true form, a giant wyrm, in an attempt to break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. At this moment, Qin Chen had already walked out of the light screen barrier and appeared outside. Dense and mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth appeared on his body. This was the price one had to pay to enter the light screen. He plucked the leaf from the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch using the fate heavenly Dao seed¡¯s power. Then, he broke the branch into two and handed it to the others. After that, he turned to enter the light screen again. When doing so, he encountered great resistance. He was extremely shocked. Could it be that this light screen was rejecting him from entering again? He had not expected things to turn out this way. If he had known earlier, he would not have come out. He would have waited until he had collected enough of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches before coming out. Fortunately, the resistance was not obvious. Qin Chen tried a little harder and still succeeded in entering the light screen. Outside the light screen, Holy Maiden Mu Xue took the six or seven pieces of leaves. As for Yuji and the big scorpion, each took a broken piece of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch. The difference between the leaves and the branches was not very obvious. The vitality on the branch was stronger, while the leaves contained more Great Paths. Chapter 417 - 417 All Breakthrough 417 All Breakthrough The old wyrm could not help but wonder if Qin Chen had done something. Why was it still unable to pick a single leaf? It had attempted to break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch earlier but it simply could not do it. The branch was truly too tough. No matter how much strength it gathered in its hand, it could not break the thinnest branch. Yet, Qin Chen easily broke off a branch with one hand. As for the place where the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch had been broken by Qin Chen, it had already completely healed. It looked as if it had never been broken before, and a small new branch had even grown out. This was the recovery brought about by the tree¡¯s powerful life force. If Qin Chen had such a terrifying life force, no matter how weak he was, no one would be able to kill him. At this moment, Qin Chen was looking at the old wyrm. The latter¡¯s eyes were filled with deep resentment. It did not know how Qin Chen, who was a few levels lower than him, could break off the branch. Qin Chen immediately smiled and activated the fate heavenly Dao seed in his body again. At this moment, he once again captured the place where the Great Path of life was on the branches. Qin Chen connected the fate heavenly Dao seed to the spot that linked the branches with the richest Great Path of life. Then, he grabbed a branch of the ancient tree of life and broke it off ruthlessly. Upon exerting his full strength, he succeeded. Qin Chen threw the branch to the old wyrm. The other party needed the branch of the ancient tree of life very much. At this moment, he naturally had to help the other party. Otherwise, with the old wyrm¡¯s strength alone, it would probably not be able to get the branch or leaf of the ancient tree of life even if it spent its entire life here. After that, Qin Chen also patiently removed the leaves for the old wyrm. In this way, it would be easier for the old wyrm to refine the leaves and it could comprehend the Great Path of heaven and earth on the ancient tree of life. If it refined the branch as well, its vitality would become stronger. The old wyrm might be able to use this as a springboard to break through the final step of transforming into a dragon and become one of the divine beasts of the true dragon race. After obtaining the leaves and the branch, the old wyrm transformed into a middle-aged man and cupped its hands at Qin Chen. With this branch and the leaves, it was confident enough to break through. Then, it left. Even if Qin Chen were to give it some more branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life, they would be useless to it. This was because these things were a one-time opportunity. As a result, it was useless for one to obtain more parts of the ancient tree of life. After the old wyrm left the light curtain, it transformed back into a huge wyrm and broke through the crack in the void secret realm, heading to the ancient planet and finding a place to cultivate in seclusion. Qin Chen continued to break branches of the ancient tree of life. This was a precious treasure, so how could he not cherish such an opportunity? He took away as many as he could. With this in mind, Qin Chen broke off many branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life. These branches and leaves were nothing to the huge trunk of the ancient tree of life. Qin Chen finally stopped after getting a bundle of branches that were half the height of a man. It was not because he had finally given up and did not want to break more, but that the ancient tree of life seemed to have its own consciousness and was extremely resistant. It had actually broken the connection between the Great Path of life and Qin Chen. As such, Qin Chen could no longer break the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. With so many branches from the ancient tree of life, Qin Chen could already use them to break through to the God Realm. He was very satisfied. Rather, even after he broke through to the God Realm, there would probably be many more branches of the ancient tree of life left. By then, he would be able to continue to raise his cultivation prowess. After that, Qin Chen carried the bundle of branches from the ancient tree of life on his back. He had also gathered quite a lot of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. Naturally, he gave a handful of leaves to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, then another handful to Yuji. In the end, when he saw the big scorpion¡¯s longing eyes, Qin Chen gave him an extra portion of the leaves. One should know that these were the leaves of the ancient tree of life. It was basically impossible to find in the outside world. If word of this were to spread, there would probably be quasi-emperor-realm experts coming to snatch this treasure. This was because the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves were extremely helpful to them. It could make them even more powerful. Therefore, Qin Chen kept all the leaves and branches in his storage ring. He would not take them out so carelessly. After all, if he was discovered by even one person, he would be in deep trouble. Once the news was leaked, he would be targeted by many before the chaos even arrived. It was best not to take these treasures out unless they were refining it. That being said, in this Tranquil Land, Qin Chen and the others could take them out at will. After all, there were no living creatures here. They had not expected to find traces of the ancient tree of life here. Currently, they had even managed to take away many of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves. Qin Chen felt that he had become extremely confident. He even thought of a scene in his mind. Just by taking out a leaf from the ancient tree of life, countless quasi-emperors would fight to get it. If he asked them to work for him, they would flock to him. Then, Qin Chen shook his head. Such a fantasy was simply unrealistic. This was because if those quasi-emperor-realm experts knew that he had the leaves of the ancient tree of life, they would rob him of everything instead. Qin Chen was too weak, and he did not have a faction nor a big shot behind him to support him. As such, he would likely be targeted by many experts. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others began to break through crazily. They began to cultivate in the void secret realm. Qin Chen stuffed a handful of leaves into his mouth and swallowed them. He then wrapped the leaves of the ancient tree of life with his divine power and began to refine them. Such wealth would definitely shock the quasi-emperors in the outside world and make their hearts ache. Those were the leaves of the ancient tree of life! It was just too shocking to refine the leaves like a nouveau riche. They did not even dare to think about it. After Qin Chen refined a handful of leaves, he felt as if his body was wrapped in a powerful life force. Such a terrifying life force made his body stronger. At the same time, his cultivation prowess was also constantly advancing. In just a moment, the changes brought by this terrifying life force were enough to match Qin Chen¡¯s years of bitter cultivation. Chapter 418 - 418 The Old Wyrms Heavenly Tribulation 418 The Old Wyrm¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation As a result, the speed of Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough was greatly increased, and his realm was rapidly rising. At this moment, he had already touched the edge of level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. If he wanted to, he could break through immediately. However, the power of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaf in his body had not been completely absorbed. As such, Qin Chen suppressed the energy to allow himself to slowly absorb it before he chose to break through. In this way, he would be able to obtain more power and would not waste the power of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. After an unknown time, Qin Chen finally opened his eyes. At this moment, he had absorbed most of the power from the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. His foundation was quite stable. He would certainly be able to achieve the effect of being invincible among his peers once he broke through. To think he was already invincible among his peers when he was only just nearing his breakthrough. How could others not be surprised by such a terrifying foundation? At the same time, the big scorpion had also broken through two realms and reached the peak of level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. If he continued to refine the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life, he would definitely be able to break through to the God realm soon. He had never thought that the benefits the ancient tree of life could bring would be so great. The life force contained in its parts was incomparably huge, allowing their cultivation prowess to improve at an extreme speed. This was something that they hadn¡¯t even dared to imagine. Yuji had also advanced two levels, becoming an expert of level 3 in the God realm! Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s breakthrough was the most shocking. At this moment, she had already reached the same realm of power as the old wyrm, standing at the peak of Great God-realm experts. She could break through again if she wanted to. Everyone was incomparably excited after receiving such a great fortune. It should be known that under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult for them to break through to the next realm, and the speed of their cultivation was extremely slow. Without the help of natural treasures, it was very likely that they would be stuck in a realm for more than ten years or even decades. With this, they became incomparably powerful with the help of the ancient tree of life. Then, on the ancient planet came a powerful fluctuation. Qin Chen and the rest were all shocked. Could it be that the old wyrm had completed the last step of dragon transformation? They left the void secret realm through the crack. The void secret realm, where the ancient tree of life was hidden, was no longer attractive to them. This was because the light barrier no longer allowed them to enter. Even if Qin Chen wanted to enter, he would be rejected. It was impossible to enter it a third time. After obtaining such a great fortune, Qin Chen was extremely excited. They wanted to see if the old wyrm had become a true dragon. If it was possible, Qin Chen wanted to get some benefits from the other party. After all, the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence had been of great help to them, and the same was true for the true dragon¡¯s blood essence. After all, the two were from the same race. As long as the old wyrm could break through, Qin Chen believed that it would not reject his request. After all, such a matter was nothing to the old wyrm. As long as it didn¡¯t die, the blood essence in its body would naturally recover. At most, Qin Chen could give it some more branches. Either way, he was now rich and could afford to be generous since he had broken off a large bundle of the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. If he could exchange those branches for the true dragon blood essence, that would be the best. After Qin Chen and the rest stepped out of the crack in the void, they returned to the ancient planet. They felt that the ancient planet was shaking as if it was erupting with terrifying pressure. Vaguely, they could even hear the sound of a dragon¡¯s Roar. It was as if a calamity was about to descend from the nine Heavens. One had to know that even in this fog, the power of the Heavenly Dao would not be affected. Therefore, even if Qin Chen wanted to break through, he would still attract the heavenly tribulation. The old wyrm¡¯s body was covered in blood. It was actually shedding its skin, which looked extremely terrifying! It made people¡¯s hearts palpitate. After the old wyrm shed its skin and became a true dragon, its shed skin would also be extremely precious. Above the Great God Realm was the God Emperor realm. One must know that once one broke through to that realm, one would become even more powerful. Now, the old wyrm was about to take this step. If it successfully transformed into a dragon, it would be able to break through to the God Emperor realm immediately, and it was very likely that it would continue to improve. It was because it had suppressed its progress for too long. Its vitality was extremely exuberant, to begin with. Having been staying in the void secret realm, it had been gradually influenced by the ancient tree of life and thus had an extremely nourished vitality. It was very likely that it would break through a few levels in one go. When they thought of this, Qin Chen and the others became very serious. It was not easy to watch such an expert breakthrough. The old wyrm was in so much pain that it felt like its body was about to be torn apart. Following that, its power surged crazily. To think it had broken through to the God Emperor realm while still in the process of transforming into a dragon! The pressure it emitted was extremely terrifying. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue was fearful. One must know that even if she were to currently attack with all her might, the other party would probably be able to block it with a casual blow. Such was the strength of a God Emperor. When he thought of this, Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. After all, if the old wyrm became stronger, the true dragon¡¯s blood essence it would leave behind would become more precious. For example, the owner of the divine dragon blood essence that Qin Chen and the others obtained should also be in the God Emperor realm. After the other party left the blood essence, he ascended and should have continued to become stronger. God knows what realm he had broken through to. It was a pity that he had been relatively weak when he left the divine dragon blood essence. Qin Chen and the others were looking forward to getting the divine dragon blood essence. One drop of the divine dragon blood essence was enough to make them undergo a great transformation. One could only imagine how precious the true dragon¡¯s blood essence left behind by the old wyrm, who had just broken through, would be. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and heavenly tribulations actually descended. Qin Chen and the others hurriedly retreated, moving a thousand miles away. If they were to be affected by this terrifying heavenly tribulation, then they would truly suffer an undeserved calamity and be hurt. After all, the heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying. One of the steps the old wyrm had to take to transform into a dragon was to undergo the baptism of the heavenly tribulation. Only by enduring it could the old wyrm successfully transform into a dragon. Qin Chen naturally believed that it could withstand the heavenly tribulation. After all, the old wyrm had absorbed the ancient tree of life¡¯s boundless life force. So, it would certainly succeed. Chapter 419 - 419 The Baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation 419 The Baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation The terrifying heavenly tribulation fell from the sky, passing through the fog on the ancient planet and landing on the old wyrm. At this moment, the old wyrm could no longer be called a wyrm. It was now like a young dragon that had just been born. Its bloodline had also changed, emitting a faint dragon¡¯s might. One could imagine that if it passed the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, it would most definitely become a true divine beast, a true dragon that completed the transition of life and obtained even more powerful strength. Its bloodline was deteriorating, but the heavenly tribulation showed no mercy at all. It descended with a destructive aura. The old wyrm roared, and the void trembled. It was as if there was an endless pressure rushing toward the heavenly tribulation. However, the heavenly tribulation would not allow the old wyrm to complete its transformation so easily. A pitch-black bolt of divine thunder fell from the nine Heavens and struck the old wyrm¡¯s body. In an instant, it was blasted into the ground, creating a huge pit with a radius of a hundred miles. The depth of the pit was unfathomable. Qin Chen and the others could not help but be shocked when they felt the terrifying aura. This was, after all, the heavenly tribulation for a Great God to break through to the God Emperor realm. How could it be compared to the heavenly tribulation that Qin Chen had experienced? Qin Chen¡¯s heavenly tribulation simply paled in comparison. A terrifying pressure was constantly being emitted. When the pressure dissipated, they saw that the old wyrm seemed to have been smacked to death in the pit. Only a wisp of breath seemed to be left in the old wyrm, but the heavenly tribulation did not show any mercy. It continued to strike down, and a second bolt of heavenly lightning came. The old wyrm roared and climbed out of the pit with great difficulty. It spat out a stream of dragon flame in the direction where the heavenly lightning had fallen. The dragon flame was extremely terrifying. Even Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame could not be compared to it. The terrifying flame exploded and spread forward. Even the void was burned, leaving a vacuum and the aura of chaos. When the void was shattered, what was left was endless chaos. The old wyrm did not dare to be careless, even though its dragon flame was so terrifying. The flames and the heavenly lightning collided, creating a huge explosion. Qin Chen and the others felt the huge aftermath of the explosion sweeping toward them and were shocked. They hurriedly used their strength to block it. The aftermath was extremely terrifying, and Qin Chen and the others instantly felt as if their internal organs were churning and their blood energy was flowing in reverse. This was enough to show how terrifying this heavenly tribulation was. The old wyrm¡¯s eyes were filled with fighting intent and it was fully on guard. It had only resisted two bolts of the heavenly tribulation, and there was a third one. The sky seemed to be brewing a terrifying thunder. Another pitch-black bolt of heavenly lightning struck down! It shook the void and even the space began to distort without any signs of stabilizing any time soon. The bolt of divine lightning was definitely not that simple. The old wyrm also felt a fatal threat. It knew that if it could not withstand the heavenly lightning, its transformation would fail and it would be killed on the spot. After all, the old wyrm¡¯s transformation into a true dragon was a heaven-defying act. At this moment, the old wyrm seemed to have started growing from a young dragon. Infinite power gushed out of its body and scales began to grow. In an instant, the scales covered its entire body. Seeing such a huge change occur instantaneously, Qin Chen and the rest were shocked. They did not expect the old wyrm to still have the strength to resist the third bolt of heavenly lightning. The black heavenly lightning fell. The old wyrm¡¯s eyes burst out with infinite light. It was going to face the heavenly lightning head-on! With that, it soared from the ground. It didn¡¯t care that it was still heavily injured and blood was dripping from its body as it continued to rush up into the sky. When the crowd saw this, they could not help but worry for the old wyrm. All of them thought that the heavenly tribulation seemed too abnormal. Even when Qin Chen broke through, the heavenly tribulation was not this terrifying. It seemed unwilling to leave a path of survival for the old wyrm. That being said, Qin Chen was quite confident that the old wyrm would be able to resist the heavenly tribulation. After all, the other party had obtained a great fortune on the ancient planet and had absorbed a lot of power from the ancient tree of life in the void secret realm. As expected, the old wyrm became stronger again. Its aura rose steadily as if it had returned to its peak. This was an unforgettable scene. All of the old wyrm¡¯s scales seemed to be shimmering with light, and its entire dragon body exuded a mighty pressure. The pressure followed the trajectory of some kind of Great Path of heaven and earth and fought against the heavenly lightning. Only by surviving the heavenly tribulation would it be able to complete the true transformation, remolding its bloodline to possess the true dragon bloodline. The old wyrm opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth, spitting out another ball of dragon flame that only destroyed a small part of the black lightning. There was still a strong force coming down on it. All of a sudden, the old wyrm seemed to have used some kind of secret technique. Before Qin Chen and the others could see what it had done clearly, a powerful fluctuation burst out, trampling the void for thousands of miles. The entire ancient planet was affected and trembled. The ground trembled non-stop. Qin Chen and the others had a hard time resisting the pressure. The big scorpion could not help but ask, ¡°Is this the strength of the true dragon race?¡± It was no wonder that the true dragons were born with the cultivation powers of the God realm. If the true dragons continued to grow, they would have the chance to compete to reach the ancient great emperor realm. As the old wyrm charged towards the heavenly tribulation, a bolt of lightning struck down. The white thunderbolt was filled with a destructive aura. At the same time, the black heavenly lightning, which had lost half of its power, struck the old wyrm¡¯s body. The old wyrm¡¯s wound had not yet healed, and it was bleeding profusely. With that, it was severely injured again. Many of its scales were shattered, revealing a deep wound that showed its bones. When the crowd saw this scene, they could not help but be shocked. They were stunned to see on the old wyrm¡¯s bones were patterns like the Great Path of heaven and earth! These were the Dao patterns of the mysterious heaven and earth¡¯s Great Path that the old wyrm had absorbed to pass through the light screen. No one had expected the Dao patterns to save that old wyrm¡¯s life at the most critical moment. Facing the white thunderbolt, the old wyrm seemed to have regained its strength. It ignored the serious injuries on its body and rushed forward without hesitation. He had to resist this heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, it would be considered to have failed the baptism and thus be unable to transform into a dragon. With that, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the old wyrm stepped into the void and arrived above the ancient planet. It was as if a dragon had leaped into the nine Heavens and was stirring up the sea of clouds. Chapter 420 - 420 A True Dragon 420 A True Dragon The white bolt of heavenly lightning fell, and the old wyrm was instantly severely injured. Even the old wyrm did not expect the heavenly lightning to be so terrifying. It instantly felt its life force draining away by some kind of irresistible force. The old wyrm felt a hint of bitterness in its heart. Was it going to fail just like that? No! It could still hold on. The old wyrm let out a furious roar even though it was in extreme pain right now. The pain was so intense that it invaded its soul. It was not an easy task to cross the gap between the true dragon race and the wyrm race. The heavenly tribulation was only a baptism and in the process, it had to find a way to transform into a true dragon. The big scorpion said slowly, ¡°It can¡¯t be that the old wyrm couldn¡¯t resist the heavenly tribulation and was killed, right?¡± Looking at the old wyrm writhing in the sea of clouds, Qin Chen said, ¡°Let the old wyrm fly for a while.¡± Not long after, they heard an angry dragon¡¯s Roar. The old wyrm fell straight down from the sea of clouds as if it had lost its life. Was old wyrm going to fail just like that? The big scorpion could not help but sigh. It seemed like not everyone was like Qin Chen, who could withstand the abnormal heavenly tribulation. At this moment, the old wyrm¡¯s angry roars were still echoing in the ears of Qin Chen and the others. They didn¡¯t want to believe that old wyrm would die just like that. It wasn¡¯t until the wyrm lay lifeless on the ground and no longer moved did they accept this fact in their hearts. It seemed that the old wyrm had failed to transform into a dragon and was killed by the heavenly tribulation. If it had been more prepared, it definitely would not have died so easily. Even someone as powerful as Qin Chen had to borrow the power of the innate sword embryo to resist the heavenly tribulation. In contrast, the old wyrm had been fighting the heavenly tribulation and withstanding the heavenly lightning with nothing. One had to know that the heavenly lightning was the power of the Heavenly Dao, which was infinitely terrifying. At this moment, the old wyrm looked as if it was dead for sure. Qin Chen and the others did not say anything and only looked on silently. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go see the old wyrm. If it¡¯s possible, we¡¯ll bury it here. This is quite a treasured land. At least, the old wyrm won¡¯t be like the corpses of the quasi-emperor-realm experts in the fog, floating around endlessly.¡± In their opinion, this ancient planet was a treasured land. If the old wyrm could be buried here, it would be a good resting place. Before they could get close, the old wyrm¡¯s blood-red dragon eyes suddenly flew open. It was bleeding profusely. The old wyrm seemed to have gone crazy as the tribulation clouds in the sky began to disperse. In other words, there wouldn¡¯t be any more heavenly lightning. Could it be that the old wyrm had survived? Everyone was shocked. Only Qin Chen smiled faintly. He knew that the old wyrm would not die so easily. No matter what, the other party was a demon with great fortune. If it successfully transformed, it would no longer be of the demon race, but a divine beast. At that moment, the old wyrm looked outside. The void seemed to penetrate the fog, and it saw that its heavenly tribulation was slowly dissipating. This meant that it had survived the heavenly tribulation and successfully transformed into a dragon. Even though it was currently injured, the old wyrm was extremely excited and struggled to stand up again. It could feel that the bloodline in its body was new, seemingly no different from the bloodline of a true dragon. It was exuding a terrifying dragon¡¯s might, and just the fluctuations alone were enough to make others feel shocked. Even if the old wyrm didn¡¯t consume any healing treasures, it would still be able to survive as it could feel that its injuries were slowly healing. Everyone could see that the broken scales on the old wyrm¡¯s body were shedding and growing back. The wounds on its body also began to heal slowly. The old wyrm seemed terrifyingly mysterious. It had resolved the Dao of the Great Path of heaven and earth. At this moment, the old wyrm looked extremely majestic. It raised its dragon head and slowly struggled up from the ground. At the same time, it kept roaring with excitement for having succeeded. This was the dream it had been pursuing all this time. It hadn¡¯t expected its dream to come true. This meant that it had become more powerful and could now leave this place. At this moment, he was already a God Emperor realm expert. Qin Chen and the others could feel that the aura fluctuations from the old wyrm were actually still rising continuously, only stopping when they reached level 2 of the God Emperor realm. With that, all of them knew the old wyrm could no longer be called an old wyrm. It had to be called a true dragon. The old wyrm gradually healed its injuries. Even though it now had a true dragon¡¯s body, its human form was still that burly man. The only difference was that it now had a pair of dragon horns on its head, which made it look extremely majestic. Qin Chen walked over and cupped his hands at the true dragon, saying, ¡°Congratulations to brother dragon for breaking through. You should be considered an expert now.¡± It should be known that there were no existences above the God realm in the nine Heavens and ten lands. If he could get the true dragon on his side, wouldn¡¯t Qin Chen be equivalent to the most powerful existence in the nine Heavens and ten lands? True dragons were extremely powerful. Coupled with the other party¡¯s God Emperor realm, there was no race that could fight against it, be it the human race¡¯s imperial dynasties and Holy Lands, the ancient imperial clans of the ten thousand ancient races, or the monstrous geniuses of the powerful cosmic races. None of them could be compared to a true dragon. After the breakthrough, the true dragon now had powerful combat strength. If it wanted to, it could kill Qin Chen and the others with a single thought, even if the latter had an extreme emperor weapon. That being said, after the true dragon broke through, it obviously still remembered Qin Chen. If the latter had not given it the branch of the ancient tree of life that had a few leaves, it would not have been able to complete the breakthrough so quickly and still be alive. The ancient tree¡¯s branch and its leaves allowed the true dragon to advance a step further, helping it resist the heavenly tribulation. As such, the true dragon was quite fond of Qin Chen and nodded to him. It couldn¡¯t stop laughing for at this moment, it had become a true dragon. In other words, it was no longer ordinary. Its bloodline was now incomparably noble. It was the bloodline of a true dragon! Even in historical records, there were very few wyrms that could turn into dragons because doing so was too risky. At this moment, the true dragon was naturally overjoyed. After all, it had already surpassed countless demons and wyrms since it had achieved this feat. In the entire wyrm race, probably only a handful could successfully become a true divine beast, a true dragon. An ancestor of the wyrm race had once done it by devouring a lot of flesh and blood of its own kind. And now, the old wyrm had survived the baptism of the heavenly tribulation and thus successfully transformed into a true dragon! In the nine Heavens and ten lands, the true dragon race had long gone extinct. Chapter 421 - 421 Old Fox 421 Old Fox At this moment, Qin Chen cupped his hands and congratulated the true dragon. He addressed the other party as ¡°brother dragon¡±. After all, the other party was no longer the old wyrm, but a true dragon. As a divine beast between the heavens and earth, its blood essence was extremely precious. After that, Qin Chen spoke to the true dragon and expressed his thoughts. He wanted to use some branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life to exchange for the dragon¡¯s blood essence. The true dragon had just completed its dragon transformation and breakthrough. It did not expect Qin Chen to have thoughts about it so quickly. It seemed that Qin Chen¡¯s respect for it hadn¡¯t grown although it had become stronger. Instead, the human had become bolder. The true dragon couldn¡¯t help but narrow its eyes. It seemed that this human cultivator couldn¡¯t be underestimated and would definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. His suggestion seemed pretty good. Either way, the true dragon only managed to break through and transform into a dragon thanks to the tree branch and leaves that Qin Chen had given it. It could not deny Qin Chen¡¯s contribution, so it did not mind giving the latter some of its blood essences. After all, with the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life, its blood essence could be restored in a short time. As such, the true dragon nodded. With a wave of its hand, a small ball of blood essence flew out from its body. This ball of blood was its most precious blood essence, and there were twenty drops in total. The 20 drops of blood essence turned into a ball of blood that shone with golden light. This was the true dragon blood essence. It was even more precious than the blood essence that Qin Chen and the others had obtained in that small world. Qin Chen quickly thanked the true dragon and kept the twenty drops of true dragon blood essence. Then, he took out ten branches and a handful of leaves from the ancient tree of life and gave them to the true dragon. ¡°Brother dragon, thank you!¡± The true dragon shook his head. Having lost twenty drops of blood essence was equivalent to being seriously injured. As such, its face was pale and weak. After putting away the ten branches and a handful of leaves Qin Chen handed over, the true dragon wanted to leave. Qin Chen hurriedly asked, ¡°Brother dragon, where do you want to go now? ¡± The true dragon that had transformed into its human form looked at the endless fog outside the ancient planet and said, ¡°I want to leave the Tranquil Land and return to the cosmic. The opportunity to become an ancient great emperor only appears once every era has arrived. I can sense it. Whoever is able to grasp that thread of opportunity will definitely become a supreme character on the level of the ancient great emperors.¡± Upon hearing the true dragon¡¯s plan, Qin Chen sighed slightly and said, ¡°Brother dragon, if you want to leave the Tranquil Land, you must first pass through the fog. Unfortunately, this fog isn¡¯t easy to pass through. In the fog, there¡¯s a kind of power of order that can instantly kill people, and it¡¯s extremely terrifying.¡± The true dragon¡¯s eyes were filled with eagerness, ¡°No matter what, I¡¯m already a true dragon now. How can I be afraid of a mere fog?¡± The big scorpion said calmly, ¡°Brother dragon, you don¡¯t know this, but even a quasi-emperor-realm dragon has fallen in this fog, and its corpse is still floating in the endless fog. If you don¡¯t have the ancient lamp, you may lose your way in the fog. Even with the ancient lamp, you may not be able to get out. Rather, you may even fall into various dangers.¡± With that, the big scorpion accidentally exposed the existence of Qin Chen¡¯s ancient lamp. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut his mouth. Unfortunately, the true dragon had heard it and its interest was piqued. An ancient lamp? ¡°What¡¯s the ancient lamp?¡± The true dragon asked Qin Chen, ¡°Do you guys have a magic item that can help you leave this place? ¡± Qin Chen cursed the big scorpion in his heart for touching a sore spot. In this way, it was equivalent to exposing the treasures he had. Although he had many treasures, he still needed the power of the Mystic Gate Lamp if he wanted to leave. Who knew if this true dragon who had just broken through had some ideas about his ancient lamp? No matter how perfunctory Qin Chen was, the true dragon simply looked at him with a fake smile as if it was adamant to see what the treasure looked like today. The true dragon had obviously followed its master to this ancient planet and passed through the fog. It knew that there were many dangers in the fog, but it did not expect the human to have a magic item that could help one pass through the fog. If it wanted to leave, its chances of success would be one or two times higher with the ancient lamp. At the same time, it also had heard that a true dragon of the quasi-emperor realm had died in the fog. All of a sudden, even the true dragon had some concerns in his heart. However, the treasure had aroused its interest as well. After all, that was a magic item that could help one pass through the fog and leave the Tranquil Land. Who wouldn¡¯t be tempted by it? Qin Chen finally spread his hands helplessly, ¡°Brother dragon, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m trying to hide it from you, but that I¡¯m the only one who can activate this treasure. No one else can. It¡¯s already been refined and fused into one in my body. Even if I want to give it to you, I can¡¯t. How about we advance and retreat together? With you by our side, we¡¯ll be much safer. At the same time, if you come with us, the chances of you successfully leaving this place will be much higher.¡± Qin Chen began to try to persuade the true dragon, trying to fool it. Unfortunately, the true dragon was not so easily fooled. It immediately shook its head and looked at Qin Chen and the others. ¡°If I go with you, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have some scruples. If I leave alone, the chances of success will be much higher.¡± Indeed, this was not a baseless claim. After all, the true dragon had already broken through to the God Emperor realm, which was far higher than the God realm and Great God realm. It seemed that the other party was determined to get the ancient lamp in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. Qin Chen said, ¡°If you want to leave, I advise you to come with us. I have a way to leave this place.¡± Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the true dragon¡¯s eyes immediately shot out a golden light. This kid was so cunning! If not for learning about the ancient lamp, it probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to force this human cultivator to reveal the secret! One had to know that if Qin Chen knew the way to leave the Tranquil Land, the chances of successfully leaving were obviously much higher than the true dragon adventuring alone. The big scorpion and the rest were also inexplicably shocked. Could it be that Elder King had another solution? Why didn¡¯t they know about it? Then, the true dragon glanced at Qin Chen and said slowly, ¡°How do I know if you¡¯re telling the truth?¡± Qin Chen cursed the true dragon in his heart. It was really cunning. It was still a cunning old fox even though it had broken through to the God Emperor realm. In fact, Qin Chen did not know how to leave this place, but with the ancient lamp, he was quite confident that he could leave safely. As long as they did not encounter the power of order, they would be able to leave. But now, the true dragon wanted Qin Chen to show proof that he knew the way to leave, and the latter was somewhat helpless. He simply said as he stared at the true dragon in front of him, ¡°It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not. If you don¡¯t, there¡¯s nothing I can do either.¡± Chapter 422 - 422 Blood 422 Blood-colored World The true dragon said with a faint smile, ¡°You¡¯re being too polite. We¡¯re brothers who have gone through life and death together. I think it¡¯s better for us to advance and retreat together. How can I leave you behind?¡± Hearing this, the big scorpion could not help but curse in his heart. It seemed that this true dragon was willing to go to all lengths just to get out. When had the other party ever had a life-and-death relationship with Qin Chen? Was it kidding? However, at this moment, Qin Chen nodded and said, ¡°Right now, we still have one more place to go on this ancient planet.¡± He pointed at the crack next to the ancient tree of life¡¯s void secret realm. An unknown voice was coming from the crack in the void. Qin Chen and the others had long deduced that the truth of the Tranquil Land must be hidden within. Seeing that Qin Chen and the others were about to enter another spatial crack, a bad premonition rose in the true dragon¡¯s heart. It immediately stopped them, ¡°We¡¯ve already obtained the ancient life tree¡¯s branches and leaves. Why do we still have to get involved in this mess? If we go, we might be completely annihilated.¡± Hearing the true dragon¡¯s words, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes glowed. It seemed that this true dragon knew a lot of things. Learning this, he asked the true dragon what exactly was in the void secret realm. The true dragon seemed a little heavy and its tone was grave as it spoke slowly. Its eyes seemed to be filled with emotions of reminiscence. ¡°It¡¯s said that there¡¯s some kind of powerful creature there that is incomparably terrifying. It seems to be sealed and suppressed there. I learned this from the creatures I¡¯ve killed.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen frowned. It seemed that the threat in the secret realm was quite deadly. Unfortunately, they could only give it their all now. Only by heading there would they be able to know the truth of the Tranquil Land. This place did not seem that simple and it must hide many secrets. It might involve the truth behind why this place had become like this, how the fog appeared, and who had left behind the power of order that could kill even quasi-emperor-realm experts. Was this all just a trap? Who was the one who placed the ancient tree of life in the void secret realm and set up the light screen? Qin Chen had to go in and see everything with his own eyes before he could restore the truth by following the clues. If he didn¡¯t know what the truth was, it was very likely that they would encounter an irresistible danger in the fog. At that time, they might really be completely annihilated. As such, he had to enter this void secret realm that had unknown sounds. Seeing how stubborn Qin Chen was, the true dragon did not say anything more. It only said, ¡°If we encounter any danger, we¡¯ll retreat immediately. How about it?¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. That was only natural. No one would be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg and insist on running into danger. Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s agreement, the true dragon nodded and walked in front, passing through the spatial rift. The spatial rift that they were now entering was the origin of the unknown voice which had helped Qin Chen a lot in the fog and had even saved their lives by sending the corpse of the quasi-emperor-realm godfiend away. Otherwise, they might have already met with a great disaster. They would not have been able to make it to this place, nor would they have been able to break through and find the ancient tree of life. They really wanted to see the owner of this voice. Why was the other party being suppressed inside? At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others quickly followed and entered the crack with the true dragon. The true dragon had already recovered a lot, but it quickly realized that it shouldn¡¯t have come in upon entering. What greeted its eyes was a terrifying blood-red world. This blood-red world was like a netherworld purgatory, making people feel cold and uncomfortable all over. It was as if the terrifying aura had seeped into their bodies. As for Qin Chen and the rest, they also felt the uniqueness of this place after coming in through the spatial rift. In this world, there was a huge pillar that was cast from gold and copper. There were also dense iron chains wrapped around it. The chains seemed to be binding a bloody man. The bloody man was bound by chains, its body tied to the pillar all this time. When it felt someone coming in, it immediately seemed to have woken up. With that, the entire blood-red world began to roll, and countless strange forces began to invade everyone¡¯s minds, almost causing them to lose their minds. What exactly was this thing? Qin Chen could only call it a ¡°thing¡± because this bloody man did not even look like a living creature. It was more like a ball of blood with consciousness. Looking at the bloody man tied to the copper pillar, Qin Chen realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave as soon as possible. The true dragon¡¯s heart was also palpitating. Although it had become a true dragon and was now a divine beast, it instinctively detested the bloody man as if it would be devoured. One must know that the true dragon was an existence on a higher level of life, a divine beast. But now, it actually had such a thought. Could it be that this bloody man was born somewhat special? Thinking of this, the true dragon wanted to leave in a hurry. Unexpectedly, before they could turn around, the crowd realized that their feet had been fixed in place. Blood began to cover their legs, causing them to be rooted to the ground. Even a God Emperor like the true dragon couldn¡¯t escape. What was this place? Then, when the bloody man tied to the pillar spoke, Qin Chen and the others could tell that this was the voice that had been luring them here. The owner of the voice was this bloody man. ¡°Hurry over!¡± This sentence! It caused a huge wave to rise in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. They did not expect the owner of the voice to be the bloody man. The other party looked like a human-shaped creature, but in truth, it was just a ball of squirming blood. At this moment, it seemed to be boiling, and the blood was sputtering. The big scorpion was already scared out of his wits. He roared, ¡°What the hell are you?¡± The bloody man was firmly tied to the pillar, seemingly unable to get close to them and unable to escape. Only Qin Chen and the true dragon realized that this bloody man was extremely powerful. It might even be more powerful than the true dragon who was in the God Emperor realm. They couldn¡¯t say for sure what cultivation realm the other party was in. In any case, their hearts were already filled with fear. They couldn¡¯t allow the situation to continue like this. After all, if this continued, they would die here. As such, Qin Chen tried to break free from the restraints, but unfortunately, he could not. Chapter 423 - 423 The Bloody Man 423 The Bloody Man The bloody man did not seem to care at all, firmly adamant that Qin Chen and the others would not be able to break free from his restraints. The blood on Qin Chen¡¯s feet wrapped around his legs and even showed signs of crawling upwards. The more he tried to break free, the faster the blood moved. Qin Chen could feel that he had lost all sense wherever the blood had wrapped around him. God knows what would happen. At the same time, the true dragon spoke to the bloody human, ¡°Senior, we have no intention of disturbing you. Please let us go. If we have offended you, we are sorry to have been ignorant. Please forgive us. God knows how long this bloody man had been trapped in this void secret realm. Being tied to this iron pillar for such a long time would drive even a good man crazy. He had no idea what the being in this blood world was up to. Qin Chen and the others had been lured here by the being¡¯s sound, but they had no idea what this guy was trying to do. They also discovered that although the bloody man tied to the bronze pillar could not leave, it could use its power in the void secret realm to attack them. The fact that he was able to control them meant that he had the confidence to kill them all. Even if Qin Chen had the innate sword embryo, it would be useless. In the face of such a powerful being, Qin Chen was simply too weak. Even if he had the weapon of an ancient great emperor, it would be of no help. If this continued, he would only become a corpse. He could feel that this existence was definitely plotting something. The other party might want to use this opportunity to leave this place. Qin Chen and the others naturally placed their priority on keeping their lives. If the master of this blood world had any requests, they would try their best to satisfy him. They wondered if such an existence had consciousness. Ever since Qin Chen and the rest entered, the bloody man had not said a single word to them. Could it be that it had gone crazy? If yes, then death would probably be their only outcome. The other party couldn¡¯t care less about the life and death of Qin Chen and the others. The big scorpion gulped with difficulty. This time, they seemed to have come to the wrong place. It looked like they were going to die soon. As he thought of this, the bloody man tied to the copper pillar made a move again, seemingly wanting to use the terrifying blood to completely devour Qin Chen and the others. As for what would happen after that happened, they had no idea. They would most probably die. They didn¡¯t understand why the bloody man didn¡¯t attack them straight away. If the bloody man had wanted to kill them from the beginning, they should have long been dead. Why was it slowly devouring them instead? There must be some kind of problem. After some time, the bloody man seemed to have finally remembered how to speak. It opened its mouth spat out some incoherent words intermittently, then seemed to fall into its memories. It took a long time just for it to go through its memories. As for Qin Chen and the others, the blood on their bodies had already reached their chests. Soon, they would be devoured. At this moment, the bloody man spoke, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, then let me out.¡± Qin Chen and the others simply did not know how to release this terrifying existence. In his opinion, even if they used all their strength, they might not be able to get the other party out, because the existence that could suppress the bloody man in this void secret realm must be very powerful. Thinking of this problem, Qin Chen and the others knew that their current strength was simply not enough to remove the seal suppressing the bloody man. How could they rescue it? As he thought of this, Qin Chen felt a gaze on him. He did not expect that it would be the bloody man tied to the copper pillar. It seemed to be looking at him. In an instant, he felt as if his spine was trembling and that all his secrets had been seen through. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as you can let me out, I won¡¯t harm you. I¡¯ll even give all of you great fortunes.¡± This bloody man seemed to be tempting Qin Chen. Either way, it should not be able to break the seal by itself. That being said, this void secret realm was its home field. Even the place where it was sealed had turned blood red. The boundless blood color made it look like a purgatory of the netherworld. The bloody man said to Qin Chen, ¡°If you release me, I can guarantee that all of you will break through a major realm.¡± Upon hearing such a heavy promise, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. Could it be that this bloody man had some kind of supreme treasure? How could the other party have such terrifying power that could allow another to advance a whole major realm? They had never heard of such an ability. Seeing that these people were unmoved by force or persuasion, the bloody man continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t help me break the seal, you will die. When the blood devours you completely, you will lose all intelligence and become a walking corpse. You will become my puppets.¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s heart turned cold. Even the true dragon could not break free at this moment. It was firmly bound. In other words, everyone had already lost the ability to resist. The blood on Qin Chen had already spread to his chest. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before his consciousness was completely devoured and he became a walking corpse. At this point, they still didn¡¯t know what this existence was or who sealed it in the secret realm. They didn¡¯t expect to die here before solving all the mysteries. The being seemed to have noticed the doubts of Qin Chen and the others. It said to them, ¡°I¡¯m not a bad person. I¡¯m not some great demon either, I¡¯m just a living being. Ever since I gained consciousness, I¡¯ve been sealed and suppressed here. No matter what I do, I just can¡¯t resolve this seal and break through the restraints.¡± Qin Chen and the rest could not help but ask, ¡°What exactly are you? ¡± The bloody man said when he heard this, ¡°I can only seem to be considered as a will. I was awakened by an expert and slowly reached my current state.¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Just who was the other party? How many years had it survived? Everyone was shocked. To be sealed here, it was obvious that the other party was hiding something. At the very least, it was definitely not like what it had said. Everyone was stunned. They didn¡¯t expect the bloody man to ask them to break the seal. If Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t do so, they would die. They believed that the bloody man in this blood-red world would definitely do what he said. As such, they had no other choice but to nod and help it break the seal. Chapter 424 - 424 Refining Demonic Puppets 424 Refining Demonic Puppets Facing the threat of death, Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to agree to help the bloody man break the seal. If they dared to resist, only death would await them. Although they did not know who had sealed this terrifying existence here, Qin Chen and the others still chose to help it break the seal. The bloody man was chained to the copper pillar. It looked very excited because this was its chance to leave after such a long time. The true dragon was the strongest amongst them and had already broken through to the God Emperor level. Yet, even it had no chance of winning against the bloody man. It was very well aware that the gap between it and the bloody man was like a huge chasm. They were simply not on the same level The true dragon walked to the bronze pillar. If one wanted to break the seal, one would have to cut off the chains. With that, it transformed back into its original body, a huge true dragon that was exuding a terrifying Dragon¡¯s might. Following this, it rammed into the iron chain, and the iron chain was broken. Without the restraint of the chains, the bloody figure on the copper pillar instantly unleashed a terrifying aura, shocking everyone. What the hell was this? Qin Chen could feel that the bloody man sealed on the copper pillar must be extremely powerful. In an instant, the bloody world shook as if it was boiling. A terrifying aura enveloped Qin Chen and the others. Instantly, they felt as if they had fallen into an abyss. This bloody man was simply too powerful. Then, the bloody man looked at Qin Chen and the others. Its voice seemed to be lined with viciousness as it said, ¡°I said that I would give you a great fortune, so I naturally won¡¯t go back on my word.¡± With that, it injected a stream of blood energy into everyone¡¯s bodies, including the true dragon. The moment the blood energy entered their bodies, everyone felt as if they were in great pain, and a cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. The pain was too great. The bloody man continued, ¡°It won¡¯t be long before you all become my demonic puppets. When that happens, your cultivation realm will naturally improve.¡± Upon hearing the two words ¡°demonic puppet¡±, Qin Chen and the others could not help but be shocked. What was a demonic puppet? It was a method that could plunder their consciousness and turn them into puppets. If that happened, Qin Chen and the others would be better off dead. By then, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to die even if they wanted to and would be completely under the command of this bloody man. They felt extreme fear. They didn¡¯t expect that this bloody man would ¡°help¡± them increase their strength through such a method. The bloody man walked out of the void secret realm. He used a great supernormal knowledge and instantly moved the entire bloody world out of the void secret realm. It existed above this ancient planet. Being under such a terrifying blood-red world, the dead star turned black and red. It exuded a heart-palpitating aura, and incomparably demonic fluctuations were constantly being born. What the hell did they release? The bloody man said indifferently, ¡°I was suppressed and spent countless years here. If not for that expert, I would not have fallen into such a state. Everything is thanks to him, it¡¯s all fate. Since you are all under my command, I will naturally not mistreat you.¡± Then, Qin Chen and the others felt the blood energy in their bodies surge wildly as if it wanted to devour their bodies. The bloody man continued, ¡°When you have completely integrated with this blood energy, you will naturally be able to advance a major realm.¡± With such a terrifying technique, this bloody man could probably be comparable to a quasi-emperor at his peak. Everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with horror. They had no idea what this bloody man was trying to do. ¡°The opportunity to become an ancient great emperor in this era has arrived. If I can obtain the opportunity, I will definitely be able to become an ancient great emperor.¡± It then looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°I can¡¯t see your future clearly. It seems like there¡¯s a cloud of fog shrouding you. Perhaps you¡¯ll be a helping hand to me in the future.¡± After that, it injected another wave of blood energy into Qin Chen, wanting to improve the latter¡¯s strength so that he could become stronger faster in the future. This was because chaos would soon descend on the world, and Qin Chen was simply too weak. Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled, and he couldn¡¯t help but curse in his heart. Wasn¡¯t this bloody man giving him blood energy because it wanted to refine him into its demonic puppet? When the fusion was complete, Qin Chen would truly be dead. He would become a demonic puppet that would listen to the bloody man. Then, the bloody man began to condense a physical form. Its body, which was originally just a ball of human-shaped blood, gradually condensed into the appearance of a man with a dangerous aura. Blood-colored clothes appeared on his body and wrapped around him. Then, he said to Qin Chen, ¡°You can leave this place, and so can they. Chaos is about to descend on this world, and I need you to eliminate some enemies. You can kill any enemies you think are strong and have potential. Don¡¯t worry, once I leave the Tranquil Land, the world will truly be in chaos. At that time, I will create a demonic domain and create a supreme orthodoxy. The few of you will then be considered figures at the supreme elder level.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was not the least bit tempted. The other party clearly wanted them to help it get rid of the enemies it might encounter on the way. Chaos was about to descend, and it would inevitably lead to many great wars. Many old farts were about to be born, and all had inextinguishable blood grudges against each other. To fight for the opportunity to become an emperor, a great war would inevitably break out and they would not show any mercy. When that chaotic period arrived, it would be the time for the bloody man to reappear. ¡°I don¡¯t want to tell you too much about the taboos here. As long as you work hard for me, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future.¡± As soon as it finished speaking, it sent a thought to Qin Chen and the others¡¯ minds. It made their hair stand on end and made them feel as if they were being watched. ¡°This is just a small trick, it won¡¯t hurt you. Don¡¯t do anything stupid. No one can break my blood energy. You have a bright future ahead of you, so I hope you won¡¯t ruin it. There won¡¯t be any danger for you to leave the Tranquil Land now. As long as you don¡¯t provoke those experts who have been killed by the power of order, you won¡¯t be in trouble.¡± With that, the bloody man sat cross-legged on the ground and seemed to have gone into seclusion. Qin Chen and the others did not have any intention of making a move on it now. Because they knew that once they had such a thought, they would die without a burial place. Everyone looked at each other and laughed bitterly in their hearts. They didn¡¯t expect that they would become prisoners so quickly, becoming demonic puppets who wished they were dead. The blood energy in their bodies was fusing with them. Once the fusion was done, their life and death would be decided by a single thought from this bloody man. Chapter 425 - 425 Level 9 Supreme Sage 425 Level 9 Supreme Sage After that, Qin Chen and the rest wanted to leave. No matter what, they had to first stay away from the bloody man who was too terrifying. Qin Chen and the others wanted to escape, but the bloody man did not stop them. Instead, it simply let them go. It had great confidence in its blood energy and believed that Qin Chen and the others would not be able to break it. With that, Qin Chen left in a frenzy. The crowd continued to tear the space apart and returned to a certain spot in the fog. With the help of the ancient lamp in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, they continued to move forward, wanting to leave the Tranquil Land. Although they had obtained the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves this time, they had also been cursed with a restriction from a bloody man who was trying to refine them into obedient demonic puppets. Everyone felt incomparably sorrowful in their hearts. Was this considered a blessing followed by a curse? The true dragon was extremely dejected at this moment. It did not dare to act rashly in front of the bloody man. The reaction of Qin Chen and the others had long been expected by the bloody man. However, It did value Qin Chen more. If possible, it would wait until the blood energy had fused fully with Qin Chen and the boy had turned into a demonic puppet before it would pay a certain price to let him step into the Great God realm. It must be known that no one in this world had such heaven-defying methods. This was forcefully raising the cultivation realm of a cultivator, although the process was very painful. The blood man couldn¡¯t see Qin Chen¡¯s future clearly and thus determined that the latter might become a variable on its path to becoming an emperor. If it used the boy well, he might be able to help it seize that chance to become an emperor. The bloody man had been suppressed here by an ancient great emperor. Before that, it was already an incomparably powerful existence. Now that it was free, it wanted to lay its hands on the ancient tree of life. The bloody man who was suppressed on the ancient planet was aware of the ancient tree of life¡¯s existence. With the ancient tree of life, it believed that it would be able to return to its peak condition very soon. By then, it would have a greater chance of becoming a great emperor in this lifetime. Unfortunately, the existence that had suppressed it back then had also set up the power of order to protect the ancient tree of life. It was quite troublesome to break through this power of order. That was why the bloody man did not immediately leave the ancient planet and return to the cosmic. Qin Chen and the rest took an unknown amount of time before they finally walked out of the fog and returned to the Tranquil Land. Their hearts were extremely depressed. Everyone was tenaciously resisting the fusion of the blood energy in their bodies. They couldn¡¯t allow the blood energy to fuse with them. Once the fusion was successful, they would become demonic puppets without self-awareness, at the mercy of others. Such an outcome was simply too tragic. No one had expected that the bloody man would have such a powerful technique. If Qin Chen and the others had not entered, they might not have ended up like this. Along the way, they saw many corpses of quasi-emperor-realm experts whose vitality had been drained. However, Qin Chen and the others were very obedient. They did not get close to the corpses of these experts in case something happened. At this moment, they had already returned to the Tranquil Land. They immediately tore open the void and crossed it. They did not want to stay here for another second. The most important thing now was to find a way to dissolve the blood energy in their bodies. Only by doing so could they not be refined into demonic puppets. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the rest flew directly to an ancient planet. If this continued, it would not take long for them to turn into demonic puppets since the blood energy in their bodies was constantly merging with their bodies. It seemed to be devouring their will. Qin Chen was in the most danger, as his cultivation level was the lowest. Yet, the bloody man had sent two streams of blood energy into him. At this moment, Qin Chen no longer suppressed his cultivation. He wanted to break through. Everyone on the ancient planet sat down cross-legged and began to use their strength to resist the blood energy. Even the true dragon was no exception. The blood energy in the true dragon¡¯s body was merging with it. It had just broken through and completed the dragon transformation to become a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth. It did not expect to encounter a great disaster so soon and become someone else¡¯s puppet. It was very unwilling to accept its fate, but there was nothing it could do. Qin Chen flew into the sky. His aura was already close to level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. In the sky, countless tribulation clouds gathered. At this moment, Qin Chen was not thinking about anything else. He only wanted to survive the heavenly tribulation. As the heavenly tribulation descended, it produced powerful living beings as it had in the past. Among these beings, the most powerful one was a golden God riding a war chariot. He looked like a legendary figure as he charged toward Qin Chen. Behind him were a few other equally powerful figures. These living beings were all formed by the heavenly tribulation and possessed the will of the Heavenly Dao, thus making them want to kill Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anger. At this moment, the two streams of blood energy in his body were constantly eroding his body, but he couldn¡¯t care less. He had to break through to the next realm before he could use his power to resist the erosion of the two streams of blood energy in his body. Seeing these beings charging towards him, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused his divine power into it. With that, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, shattering the infinite void and charging forward. At the same time, these beings were not to be trifled with either. They used many secret techniques and supernormal knowledge to suppress Qin Chen. Although the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hands had always brought him to victory, it did not pose much of a threat to these living beings formed by the heavenly tribulation even though its attacks landed on their bodies. Only by annihilating them could Qin Chen break through to the next realm. Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Divine Body, and a terrifying wave burst out. The rules of chaos emerged from his body. Then, he slashed out with the innate sword embryo, targeting the golden God on the chariot. The golden God seemed to be very disdainful. He threw a spear formed by the heavenly tribulation at Qin Chen. The golden spear was extremely fast. It pierced through the void in an instant and arrived in front of Qin Chen. It violently collided with the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, instantly erupting with a terrifying wave that shook the surroundings. Qin Chen instantly felt as if he was sent flying by a terrifying force. He actually retreated a few steps before he could stabilize his body. After finally managing to steady himself, Qin Chen watched as the God in the golden chariot continued to charge over. It was as if the other party wanted to use the chariot to kill Qin Chen. One could imagine how extraordinary and terrifying this person was. Seeing this expert driving the war chariot toward him, Qin Chen did not have the slightest fear. Instead, he became even crazier. Chapter 426 - 426 The Heavenly Furnace 426 The Heavenly Furnace The innate sword embryo in his hand once again unleashed terrifying emperor¡¯s might and charged toward the God in the golden chariot. When everyone saw this, they could not help but feel worried. After all, they did not have many days left to live. They hadn¡¯t expected that Qin Chen still wanted to break through. In an instant, the golden God was slashed into nothingness by Qin Chen¡¯s sword, where he had unleashed his full strength. Following this, the rest of the powerful figures surrounded Qin Chen and immediately launched much supernormal knowledge at him. Qin Chen watched as these powerful figures charged toward him, not feeling the slightest bit of fear. The innate sword embryo in his hand had already reached a state of tacit understanding with him, and in an instant, it exploded with terrifying power. He killed another powerful figure with his sword. The bloody man did not lie to him. After the blood energy entered his body, Qin Chen could feel that he was getting stronger. This was an effect that could not be achieved even by consuming heavenly treasures. However, the price of using this method to break through was that he would be turned into a puppet without his own consciousness. Qin Chen would not allow this to happen. Then, he went berserk and killed the remaining figures. The heavenly tribulation in the sky thus gradually dissipated. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was beating, making dull thumps like thunder. The two streams of blood energy in his body were entangled, constantly devouring and invading his body, trying to turn him into a demonic puppet. Qin Chen immediately exploded with anger. At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky had dispersed, and he had broken through to level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm. He was only one step away from becoming a God-realm expert. However, Qin Chen believed that at this point, even an ordinary God-realm expert would not be his opponent. At this moment, Qin Chen used his divine power to suppress the two streams of blood energy. He must not let the two streams of blood energy succeed in devouring his body. If that happened, he might not be able to survive. Then, he looked into the distance. There was actually a fluctuation in the distance! Qin Chen¡¯s heart was suddenly filled with excitement because he heard the system¡¯s voice. [Ding dong!] [A powerful divinity has been discovered ahead.] Upon hearing this, Qin Chen quickly ran over to a cliff. This should be the place with the powerful divinity since it was the only place with such terrifying fluctuations. Qin Chen prayed in his heart. He must get something good. He was about to lose his life. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] ¡°Check-in!¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. [Congratulations, you have successfully signed in to the mysterious land. You have received the Heavenly Furnace!] [Heavenly Furnace: It has unparalleled power and incredible power to make pills. It can also help cultivators refine their physical bodies. It is extremely rare.] He did not expect to find a place that contained such a powerful divinity on this ancient planet. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with joy. Then, he was shocked to learn that he had actually obtained a furnace. ¡°Heavenly Furnace? What is this?¡± According to the system, this Heavenly Furnace could be used to refine pills, and also to refine the bodies of cultivators, making one¡¯s physical body stronger and thus obtaining various extraordinary benefits. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was immediately filled with excitement. Could he rely on the Heavenly Furnace to get rid of the blood energy in his body? One had to know that he was the one in the most critical condition at the moment. He had been injected with two streams of blood energy by the bloody man, and they were devouring him very quickly. If he did not find a way to stall for time, it was very likely that he would be turned into a demonic puppet soon. At that time, his life and death would be in the hands of the bloody man. Thinking of this, he placed the huge furnace on the ancient planet. Everyone else was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to take out a furnace that they had never seen before after his breakthrough. They didn¡¯t know what the furnace was. At this moment, Qin Chen was about to be devoured by the two streams of blood energy and turned into a demonic puppet. His eyes were bloodshot, and he could not care less anymore. He could only stake everything on this one act and enter the Heavenly Furnace. In an instant, a terrifying aura enveloped Qin Chen, and a terrifying fluctuation burst out. The true dragon could not help but be surprised. What exactly was this furnace? It had never heard of it, nor had it ever seen a furnace that contained such a terrifying aura. Qin Chen could feel a tremendous force within the furnace like it wanted to crush his body. Was this mysterious force something that must be experienced to get a strong body? He stopped resisting and allowed the terrifying power to enter his body. Soon, Qin Chen was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect the Heavenly Furnace to really be able to suppress the two blood energy. One must know that the two streams of blood energy were extremely fast in devouring Qin Chen and turning him into a demonic puppet. However, at this moment, they were suppressed and did not continue to erode Qin Chen¡¯s body. The two streams of blood energy in his body darted around as if they were very afraid. The furnace had already cut off all probing energy. Even the bloody man in the Tranquil Land would have no way to know that its blood energy had been forced out by Qin Chen. Qin Chen clenched his jaw and opened up his acupuncture points and meridians, allowing the terrifying power in the furnace to wash over him. In an instant, he felt as if he was on the verge of death. His body seemed to have been dissolved into a mass of illusory matter. What kind of furnace could have such an ability? At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s soul was still present, but he could not feel the connection with his physical body. It was as if his physical body had been erased. Then, the two streams of blood energy shot out from his body and circled the Heavenly Furnace. It seemed that they wanted to leave but were suppressed by the terrifying power. In an instant, they were pressed to the ground and turned into two strange blood-red pills. Only in this Heavenly Furnace could they be thus suppressed. Qin Chen felt that his body had gained a huge benefit. In an instant, his body became even stronger. The Chaotic Divine Body was extraordinary, to begin with. Now that the Heavenly Furnace had reconstructed his body, the Chaotic Divine Body had naturally become stronger. At this point, Qin Chen felt that his body should be comparable to that of a God-realm expert. His body gained great benefits, and he opened his eyes. At this moment, his physical body had also returned to his control. He felt that his physical body had become even stronger. After that, he walked out of the Heavenly Furnace. He learned from the waiting crowd outside that he had cultivated for three days and three nights. Chapter 427 - 427 Leave 427 Leave At this point, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the true dragon, and the others were on the verge of going crazy and could no longer suppress the blood energy in their bodies. The blood energy in their bodies was constantly surging as if wanting to devour them completely. Now, their eyes were bloodshot like Qin Chen¡¯s. It seemed that it wouldn¡¯t be long before they were completely refined into demonic puppets. After fusing with the blood energy, one would become a puppet without consciousness that would only listen to the bloody man¡¯s orders. They would rather die than live like that. Following this, Qin Chen kicked the weakest of them, the big scorpion, into the Heavenly Furnace. Although the crowd had seen him enter the Heavenly Furnace, they were quite surprised when they realized that Qin Chen no longer seemed to be suppressed by the blood energy. Holy Maiden Mu Xue said in surprise, ¡°Have you found a way to resolve the blood energy?¡± Qin Chen nodded. He had extracted the streams of blood energy from his body and suppressed them within the Heavenly Furnace. This should be considered as resolving the problem, right? Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. The big scorpion was clamoring. He was on the verge of losing his mind when he was locked in the Heavenly Furnace. A terrifying power instantly enveloped him. In an instant, the big scorpion felt that his soul was about to be scattered. He let out a miserable cry. When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but feel fear. Just what kind of torture would allow them to escape the control of the blood energy? If they were to delay any longer, they might be unable to resist the blood energy and thus turn into demonic puppets. At this point, the big scorpion had already fainted, but his physical body was also being reconstructed. The Heavenly Furnace could also be used for the demon race to cultivate. Qin Chen nodded. With this spiritual will, he quickly saw a terrifying red pill forming in the Heavenly Furnace that was the same as the last two pills from him. In other words, the big scorpion should have gotten rid of the blood energy now. At this moment, there were three terrifying red pills made of blood energy in the Heavenly Furnace. After that, Qin Chen opened the Heavenly Furnace and pulled the big scorpion out. Then, he gave the latter a hard kick. In an instant, the big scorpion jolted back to his senses. With a quiver, his eyes flew open and he was immediately pleasantly surprised, ¡°Elder King, what kind of treasure is this? To think it can refine the blood energy out of my body!¡± The big scorpion was extremely surprised. He had thought that he was dead for sure, but Qin Chen¡¯s furnace had saved his life. He didn¡¯t want to be refined into a demonic puppet either. Wouldn¡¯t becoming something like that be worse than death? Then, Qin Chen looked at the rest of the people and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s next?¡± The true dragon was eager to try and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I¡¯ll go first.¡± It could see that the big scorpion, as a member of the demon race, had the blood energy in his body separated and resolved. Naturally, it wanted to get rid of the blood energy in its body as well. In an instant, the true dragon turned into a man and entered the Heavenly Furnace. Once again, everyone heard a miserable scream. Even the true dragon couldn¡¯t bear the pain of such body reconstruction. It felt like dying once. That being said, to resolve the blood energy in its body, the true dragon had to go all out. As the true dragon¡¯s cultivation prowess was just too powerful, reaching the God Emperor realm, the process of its body reconstruction took a slightly longer time. It took the true dragon one more day than Qin Chen before the blood energy in its body was finally dissolved and extracted from its body, to be suppressed in the Heavenly Furnace. The bloody man opened its eyes in the Tranquil Land. He seemed to have noticed something unusual. To think it couldn¡¯t feel the blood energy it had left in those fellows¡¯ bodies. What was going on? It immediately thought that Qin Chen and the others must have been killed by some powerful enemy. Otherwise, its blood energy would not have disappeared. The bloody man hadn¡¯t expected those people to die so quickly though. It had wanted to refine them into demonic puppets, but to think they were so unlucky. When the true dragon came out of the Heavenly Furnace, it was extremely touched. It cupped his hands at Qin Chen as it could feel that its body had become stronger. One must know that it was a member of the true dragon race, a divine beast of heaven and earth. The fact that the Heavenly Furnace could make its body so powerful showed how extraordinary the item was. The true dragon cupped its hands at Qin Chen, addressing Qin Chen the same way that the big scorpion did, ¡°Elder King, thank you. If you need me in the future, I will definitely do my best.¡± After all, what Qin Chen had done was equivalent to saving the true dragon¡¯s life. If not for Qin Chen, the true dragon would have most probably been refined into a demonic puppet. At that time, it would have been better off dead. It had just broken through and successfully transformed into a true dragon, so it naturally did not want to die like this. Then, it looked at Qin Chen and said slowly, ¡°If the Elder King doesn¡¯t mind, I¡¯m willing to be your Dao guardian.¡± Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but laugh. His current Dao protector was Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Although the true dragon was far stronger than Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Qin Chen didn¡¯t want the former to be his Dao guardian for now. He then said to the true dragon, ¡°If there¡¯s anything that I need, brother dragon, I won¡¯t hold back.¡± After that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue entered the Heavenly Furnace. Not long after, she let out a miserable cry as well. Hearing the creepy voice, Yuji¡¯s scalp went numb. What kind of pain did they suffer in the Heavenly Furnace? However, there was no other way to dissolve the blood energy. This was the only way. They did not want to become the demonic puppets of the bloody man. When it was Yuji¡¯s turn to enter, Qin Chen saw that she seemed to be hesitating, so he gave her a hand and lightly pushed her back, sending Yuji directly into the Heavenly Furnace. Soon, Yuji felt the pain that everyone had suffered before. The pain was like experiencing death. After experiencing such pain, the blood energy in her body was also separated, dissolved, and condensed into a terrifying red pill, which was then suppressed in the Heavenly Furnace. These things could not be destroyed for the time being. Qin Chen could only suppress these six blood energy pills in the Heavenly Furnace. Otherwise, if the bloody man found out about something, it might come after them. Then, Qin Chen and the others prepared to leave. After all, they had been here for long enough. Now that they had resolved the crisis with the blood energy, they had nothing to worry about. Qin Chen¡¯s top priority was to break through. At this point, he could finally sense how terrifying it would be when the chaos descended in the future. Even an expert like Holy Maiden Mu Xue or a supreme existence like the true dragon would be in danger. Just like the bloody man, there were countless old monsters in this world and the cosmic who had lived forever. Chapter 428 - 428 Abyss Death Array 428 Abyss Death Array Once they appeared, they would definitely pose a great threat to Qin Chen and the others. At this point, Qin Chen had already offended many beings, such as the bloody man and the terrifying beings under the Emperor Burial Abyss. If they wanted to make a move against him, the day chaos descended would then be the day of his death. Even if he had nine lives, he would not be able to kill them. Thus, Qin Chen wanted to leave and search for the remaining five places among the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. Only by doing so could he continue to break through. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led the group away. The true dragon was now in awe of Qin Chen. It believed that by staying by his side, it would definitely get opportunities and benefits. Although its cultivation realm was higher than Qin Chen¡¯s, it could feel that the latter was indeed extraordinary. If it followed him, it should be able to continue to benefit and become stronger. Besides, Qin Chen had saved the true dragon once and even helped it transform at the most critical moment. As such, it was very grateful to him. There was nothing bad about following him either, and it was willing to do so since it could continue to break through and obtain treasures. After all, chaos was imminent. Countless existences would appear in the nine Heavens and ten lands as well as the cosmic. When that time came, it would be truly chaotic. Countless experts would die everywhere. On the emperor¡¯s path in this era, a fight of blood and fire was inevitable for the opportunity to become an emperor. Some would leave and some had to die. It was easy to imagine how brutal it would be. There would definitely be more than one terrifying being like the bloody man. It was very likely that even more old undying beings would appear. This involved the past of the primordial era. Back then, countless geniuses had lost their chance because the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had become an ancient great emperor. As a result, all of them used all sorts of secret techniques to seal themselves, allowing them to live until now. At the thought of this, the true dragon¡¯s heart was filled with apprehension. Since that was the case, it should be able to obtain more benefits by following Qin Chen. The true dragon could feel that Qin Chen was no ordinary person. It seemed that the latter¡¯s body contained the energy of the Great Path. Only this could explain why he could escape from danger time and time again, and still be safe and sound. What the true dragon did not know was that Qin Chen did not have such ¡°energy¡±. He only had the system. Without the system, he might still be a nobody. It was all thanks to the system that he was able to achieve what he had today. Without it, he would not have been able to reach where he was today. After that, Qin Chen and the rest crossed the void. Along the way, they met many experts from the powerful cosmic races. These experts were frightened when they saw the dragon and exclaimed. ¡°This¡­ This¡­ How is that possible?¡± ¡°A true dragon! Didn¡¯t this kind of divine beast go extinct long ago?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a true dragon to appear.¡± Upon hearing the news of the appearance of a true dragon, many were curious. It was said that the mounts and pets of the ancient great emperors were all divine beasts like this. As such, they also wanted to see what a true dragon looked like. When they heard that a living true dragon had appeared, they immediately went crazy. Some geniuses even wanted to capture it and make it their mount, imitating what the ancient great emperors had done in the past. The true dragon was already an expert in the God Emperor realm. Seeing that those existences in the God realm were trying to take advantage of it, it immediately flew into a rage, instantly spitting out a stream of dragon flames and burning many experts from the powerful cosmic races into ashes, annihilating them. This was the power of the true dragon race. Looking at the terrifying flames, Qin Chen thought of his Green Lotus Demonic Flame. He was afraid that it would not be a match for the flames. God knows how long they would have to continue searching before they could find the locations of the rest of the coordinates. It was a pity that this star field had already changed. If not for the changes, they might have already found their destinations. Back then, the Divine Fire Great Emperor had wanted to possess a cultivator¡¯s body so that he could live a new life and become an emperor in this era again. It was a pity that he had never dreamed of meeting Qin Chen. He was thus very aggrieved and killed by the latter. Before the other party died, Qin Chen learned of the seven coordinates. Unfortunately, the original coordinates had long disappeared, so he could only search for them slowly. As long as he could find the remaining spots of the five coordinates, he would definitely be able to continue to become stronger and break through his current realm. After the blood energy in their bodies was extracted, everyone was extremely relaxed. Now, they only needed to slowly look for opportunities and break through to become stronger steadily. If they had really been refined into demonic puppets, they might be very powerful now, but they would no longer have consciousness. No one could accept such an outcome. Fortunately, Qin Chen had the Heavenly Furnace which extracted the streams of blood energy from everyone¡¯s bodies and suppressed them. As such, they were temporarily out of danger. That being said, God knows if the bloody man would come looking for them after chaos descended in the world and continue to refine them into demonic puppets. As a result, the most important thing now was to become stronger. The bloody man should not have time to look for Qin Chen and the others now. After all, it might still be in seclusion, trying to become stronger. Otherwise, it would be in danger of dying when chaos descended upon the world. While thinking of this, everyone had unknowingly arrived at a piece of Heaven and Earth that was like a painting. Fluctuations were coming from not far away, which Qin Chen and the others sharply sensed. They saw the owner of the fluctuations walk out. It was the black stone golem. The black stone golem laughed madly, ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time. This Abyss Death Array is for you¡­¡± Halfway through his sentence, he saw that there was a true dragon next to Qin Chen and the others, and immediately cried out in surprise, ¡°What? A true dragon? Isn¡¯t the true dragon race already¡­ How is this possible?¡± The black stone golem kept asking questions in his heart. He did not expect that Qin Chen and the others would be able to find a true dragon and was immediately quite fearful. However, he still had to kill Qin Chen with no hesitation. Since the black stone golem had appeared, Qin Chen and the others could roughly guess that the other party had probably set up another array in the surroundings. As Qin Chen had expected, the surrounding void had been sealed! The array was extremely dangerous. The power of the array exploded at a distance! Chapter 429 - 429 The Shocked Black Golem 429 The Shocked Black Golem The terrifying power of the array exploded in an instant, shocking everyone. This array was clearly no ordinary array. Rather, it was extremely extraordinary. They didn¡¯t think that the black stone golem would come looking for them again. Originally, the black stone golem had not been able to find their whereabouts. He had only discovered an abnormality this time and coincidentally bumped into them. He did not expect to find a terrifying true dragon following them! The dragon¡¯s might on the true dragon¡¯s body could not be faked. Just feeling such a terrifying bloodline was enough to make others feel deep fear. It was as terrifying as an ancient beast. With such a noble bloodline, the black stone golem did not understand why this true dragon would follow Qin Chen. He was furious as he originally thought that he would be able to kill Qin Chen and the others when he encountered them. The array that he was currently carrying was mobile. In other words, it was not like the previous arrays, which needed him to lure Qin Chen and the others to the place where the array had been set up in advance before attacking them. Now, he could carry the Abyss Death Array with him to kill them wherever he wanted. It was a pity that Qin Chen had a true dragon by his side, which created endless variables. Qin Chen and the others watched as the array descended and sealed the surroundings. God knows how huge the Abyss Death Array was, but it was slowly closing in, trapping them in the array. The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled into a cold smile. It seemed that this black stone golem had to be eliminated as soon as possible. Who knew if he would bring more trouble to Qin Chen and the others? Only by killing him would they not have any worries. The black stone golem was not to be outdone. He took out another Great God-realm puppet that looked like an expert from a powerful cosmic race. The other party had been refined into a puppet and could unleash great combat power. It should be able to hold back Qin Chen and the others in the array. At that time, the black stone golem would be able to kill Qin Chen and the others. The puppet received the black stone golem¡¯s order and immediately charged toward Qin Chen and the others. In the array, the puppet¡¯s only purpose was to cause trouble for Qin Chen and the others. The black stone golem had already made up his mind that at that time, even if he had to destroy the array, he vowed to kill Qin Chen and the others. He could not let them live any longer as he could feel that Qin Chen¡¯s current realm was already very powerful. The other party was only one step away from entering the God realm. If this continued, the black stone golem was afraid that Qin Chen would become extremely powerful and be fearless of his arrays that couldn¡¯t kill the other party. If that happened, there would be unpredictable variables in the plan left by his master and the plan might very well fail. Thinking of this, the black stone golem went mad. He held a stone talisman in his hand. As long as he crushed it, the array would explode, forming a terrifying explosion that would turn the surrounding void into a black hole, killing Qin Chen and the others. The black stone golem laughed cruelly at this thought. This was an array that could kill Great Gods. He didn¡¯t expect that it had to be destroyed before it could kill Qin Chen and the others. At this point, Qin Chen and the others were already prepared to make a move. The true dragon laughed, ¡°Elder King, it¡¯s just a small matter. Leave it to me.¡± The true dragon could tell that Qin Chen and the others had met an enemy. To think the other party had set up such a terrifying array to deal with them. However, the array could only kill Great God-realm existences. The true dragon had already broken through to level 3 of the God Emperor realm and possessed an incomparably terrifying might. As soon as it unleashed its strength, the void trembled, and even the array was affected. Qin Chen watched as the array was activated and laughed. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, brother dragon.¡± He had great trust in the true dragon¡¯s combat strength. After all, it was the most powerful existence among them. Although Whitey did not come this time, with the true dragon as a free helper to break the array, it saved Qin Chen a lot of trouble. If it were him, he might not be fully confident in escaping from this array. After all, this array was extremely terrifying and could kill Great God-realm existences. The surging forbidden power in the array circulated. To think the Abyss Death Array could trigger the forbidden power, which was a more powerful state of the power of restriction that was even more terrifying. The power of the restriction struck the true dragon. At the same time, the true dragon then transformed into its true form, a huge true dragon that exuded a powerful dragon¡¯s might. A dragon¡¯s roar shook the void. Then, it attacked ruthlessly. Its claws turned into a huge ball of light, shaking the array. The array seemed to be about to fall apart. The black stone golem was shocked. ¡°The God Emperor realm! How can a true dragon be a God Emperor?¡± If it was a true dragon in the God Emperor realm, then his Abyss Death Array might not be able to kill Qin Chen and the others. Judging from the true dragon¡¯s actions, the Abyss Death Array couldn¡¯t trap it at all. The Great God-realm puppet attacked Qin Chen and the others. The true dragon looked at the puppet coldly and disdainfully. Then, it spat out a wave of Dragon Breath at the other party. One had to know that this was the innate flame that existed in the body of a true dragon. It was extremely terrifying! In an instant, the puppet was burned into nothingness. Not even a strand of its hair was left. Seeing this, the black stone golem couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He gripped the stone talisman in his hand and wanted to crush it. Unfortunately, the true dragon was one step faster than him. Feeling that the array was about to break, the true dragon reached out its dragon claw toward the array again, and the huge claw pierced a big hole in the array. With that, the array abruptly stopped and could no longer be operated. Seeing this, the black stone golem prepared to escape. He crushed the stone talismans in his hand, but the array did not explode. If he had been a step faster, the array might have self-destructed, which would have caused a lot of trouble for Qin Chen and the others and he would¡¯ve been able to retreat with ease. The black stone golem gritted his teeth. He did not expect that there would be a true dragon with Qin Chen this time. ¡°D*mn it!¡± However, the array had already lost its effect and was completely destroyed. At this moment, the true dragon saw that the black stone golem was trying to escape. With that, it soared into the air, tore the void, and charged toward the other party. The black stone golem didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He quickly tore the void in front of him and entered. By the time the true dragon arrived, it was already too late. The tear in the void was about to close. Chapter 430 - 430 The Supreme Orthodoxy 430 The Supreme Orthodoxy In a fit of rage, the true dragon struck out with a wave of terrifying divine power, turning its dragon claw into a giant claw the size of a mountain and striking it into the crack in the void. The black stone golem let out a blood-curdling screech before he disappeared. It was unknown if he was dead. After all, a strike from a God Emperor was not easy to take. Qin Chen narrowed his eyes. This black stone golem was really too persistent. He was like a maggot that had attached himself to their bones, following them and trying to kill them countless times. He had set up killing traps again and again, trying to trap and kill Qin Chen and the others. Fortunately, they had escaped and broken the arrays time and again as well. They had even blown up the black stone golem¡¯s original body, but it seemed like the other party had already condensed a new physical body and become even stronger. They wondered if the other party could withstand the strike from the God Emperor-realm true dragon. The true dragon was a little annoyed that it had let the other party escape. In its opinion, it had to help Qin Chen eliminate his enemies. After all, it would be able to obtain many benefits by following him. Perhaps doing this would make Qin Chen give it more treasures. Soon, the terrifying fluctuation attracted the attention of many experts from the powerful cosmic races. They had wandered the cosmic and heard that a true dragon in the God Emperor realm had appeared. They wanted to see it with their own eyes. After all, they had never seen such a legend. The appearance of a true dragon¡­ Was there really going to be great chaos in this world? Everyone was bewildered. For the sake of this opportunity to become an Emperor, they were madly fanatic about eliminating all potential enemies. As such, the true dragon was one of their targets. After all, it was too strong. However, before they could even see the true dragon, Qin Chen and the others had already torn the void and left. After all, there was no point in staying here since the black stone golem had already escaped. Their top priority now was to find the remaining places of the seven coordinates. Only by doing so could they become more powerful. Qin Chen urgently needed to improve his strength. Soon, this news of the true dragon reached the ears of a three-headed and six-armed expert from a powerful cosmic race. His name was Fei Xuan. He was an expert who had sealed himself since the primordial era, and his current target was also the true dragon. One must know that the true dragon was a divine beast between heaven and earth. They had long gone extinct. Now, this new dragon was still weak. If he could take advantage of the fact that the true dragon had yet to mature and subdue it, how awe-inspiring would that be? He would be comparable to the ancient great emperors! Moreover, this true dragon had great potential. When it grew to its most powerful stage, there was a glimmer of hope for it to squeeze into the quasi-emperor realm. ¡°True dragon, I¡¯ll find you. Just admit defeat and be my mount¡­¡± With that, the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan left, tearing the void and chasing after the true dragon by heading to the places where it had appeared. Fei Xuan wanted to find the true dragon. In the meantime, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at another place. This place was an unremarkable corner of the universe, but there were many powerful auras there. Qin Chen and the others mistakenly thought that it was one of the remaining places among the seven coordinates. Only after they arrived did they realize that it was a supreme orthodoxy! There were countless experts in this orthodoxy. When they felt the fluctuations of Qin Chen and the others, a few figures also appeared. Among these figures was a God Emperor-realm expert. Immediately, the eyes of this God Emperor-realm expert burned with passion. He did not hide his greed at all. He wanted to subdue the true dragon and make it the divine beast that protected the sect. If he succeeded, how much respect would their sect earn? It would also be able to enrich the sect¡¯s foundation. If this true dragon didn¡¯t obey, he would kill it. The dragon bones and meat could also play a huge role in enhancing the strength of the sect. With that, the sect leader of this supreme orthodoxy, Qing Nan, ordered all the disciples to come through voice transmission. He wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others, then subdue the true dragon. After all, the chances of a true dragon appearing in the world were too low. This wasn¡¯t the primordial era anymore. If such an existence could work for their supreme orthodoxy, how great would that be? After all, the true dragon race had an extremely long lifespan, as well as unparalleled potential. When Qin Chen and the others saw that there were more than 20 Great God-realm experts in this supreme orthodoxy, they were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect this supreme orthodoxy to have such terrifying strength. Not only did it have a God Emperor-realm expert but also over twenty Great God-realm experts. Such a huge faction could occupy a large position even in the nine Heavens and ten lands. ¡°Kill him! Don¡¯t let this true dragon escape!¡± The true dragon was extremely furious when it saw the supreme orthodoxy¡¯s expert charging over. One had to know that it was a true dragon. Although it had turned into a dragon through atavism, it still possessed unparalleled talent and combat power. To think the other party wanted to challenge it. They clearly had no respect for it. The true dragon thus charged at them and transformed back into its true form, a huge true dragon. It exuded a terrifying aura and spat out dragon flames. The terrifying Dragon flames burned the disciples of the supreme orthodoxy. The sect leader of the supreme orthodoxy also took out a terrifying weapon, trying to kill the true dragon. In his opinion, if they could capture the true dragon, whether it was dead or alive, their supreme orthodoxy would obtain a great opportunity. The chaos between the heavens and earth was about to arrive, and even the cosmic would not be spared. At that time, no matter where it was, it would become a battlefield. If he could make the disciples of the supreme orthodoxy stronger in advance, his orthodoxy could thus be continued. Seeing the sect leader of the supreme orthodoxy charging over, the divine dragon fought with him. The scales on its body were like the strongest armor, emitting a dazzling light. Even when the sect leader¡¯s weapon struck the true dragon, it didn¡¯t even leave a single wound. It only caused the true dragon¡¯s blood energy to flow in reverse. ¡°Kill! We can¡¯t let this divine beast escape! We must make it stay here!¡± Many Great God-realm experts surrounded the true dragon, wanting to kill it. Qin Chen and the others roared, ¡°Brother dragon, I¡¯m here to help you!¡± The innate sword embryo appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, and he immediately infused his divine power into it. A monstrous emperor¡¯s might burst out, and the rules of chaos condensed in front of him. Then, he slashed at the experts of the supreme orthodoxy. Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the big scorpion didn¡¯t stay idle either and attacked. In the eyes of the supreme orthodoxy¡¯s experts, this true dragon was doomed to die today. Chapter 431 - 431 A Great Battle 431 A Great Battle Even if the true dragon wanted to leave, their sect would not let it go. After all, it was a divine beast! This was a creature that had not appeared for many years. If it wasn¡¯t for the world¡¯s great change this time, which produced the opportunity to become an emperor, the true dragon probably wouldn¡¯t have appeared. They wanted to take down the true dragon, but the true dragon was not so easy to deal with. Soon, the sect leader, who was also a God Emperor, was burnt. Even his hair was gone. His face was filled with rage as he launched a terrifying attack, trying to kill the true dragon. In his opinion, he had to leave the true dragon in his sect even if he had to kill it. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand exploded with terrifying power, causing many of the Great God-realm experts to look at him. Who would have thought that there would be such a terrifying weapon? Could it be an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor? They quickly recognized the value of the weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hands and tried to snatch the extreme emperor weapon from him. One must know that this was a supreme treasure. Only ancient great emperors could unleash its full power. In Qin Chen¡¯s hands, he could only unleash less than thirty percent of its power. Rather, even thirty percent was pushing it. With that, Qin Chen faced the siege of many Great Gods. Meanwhile, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others found opportunities to stall a few Great God-realm experts. Yuji and the big scorpion followed Holy Maiden Mu Xue and kept attacking. The scene seemed to be instantly ignited. On the side, experts from the powerful cosmic races were watching, wanting to take advantage of the situation. If they could obtain some true dragon blood, it could be considered a great fortune. They wanted to wait for both sides to suffer losses before going out to reap the benefits. Qin Chen attacked crazily, blocking the attacks of the many experts in front of him. After all, he had the innate sword embryo in his hands. Even if he couldn¡¯t block the attack, he had the help of the weapon God in the innate sword embryo. The true dragon and the sect leader of the Supreme orthodoxy were locked in a fierce battle, and for a moment, it was difficult to determine who was stronger. Qin Chen did not expect to encounter a supreme orthodoxy. This supreme orthodoxy was also a faction born from the human race. They had come to the universe and had been here since the ancient era because the cultivation resources in the nine Heavens and ten lands had been gradually reducing. As such, they set their sights on the universe. After all, there were countless treasures in the cosmic. Since there were so many ancient planets, there must be a chance for them to survive. Very quickly, they took root in the cosmic, and their reserves grew increasingly stronger. They even thought that nine Heavens and ten lands had completely withered and that there were no other experts. Being in the cosmic, they knew very little about the nine Heavens and ten lands and had no idea of the power situation there. Qin Chen could not help but worry when he saw the sect leader charging toward the true dragon. After all, the sect leader was stronger than a true dragon. The true dragon was fearless of the sect leader who was in the God Emperor realm. It relied on its powerful body to fight with the other party. Soon after, the other party was injured. But similarly, the true dragon did not have a good time either. Its body was littered with injuries and many of its dragon scales had even fallen off. These were all treasures. Being scattered in the universe, some of the experts from the powerful cosmic races picked them up and put them away. With these dragon scales, they should be able to refine powerful weapons and magic items. This was a rare material, and its defensive power was extremely terrifying. The true dragon let out a furious roar. Then, countless rays of light appeared on its body like the morning sunlight. It brought with it an unparalleled attack that went toward the God Emperor-realm sect leader. It wanted to kill him. At this point, Qin Chen was ready to leave. He then sent a voice transmission to the true dragon. It was not a good idea to continue like this. If this dragged on, they would be the ones who suffered in the end. Now that they still had the strength to fight, it was a good time to escape. The true dragon had also made up its mind not to fight to the death here. After all, even if it did, it might be defeated by these people from the supreme orthodoxy. At that time, its life and death would really be in the hands of others and not itself. With this thought in mind, the true dragon immediately blasted the God Emperor realm sect leader away. It then looked for an opportunity to tear open space to leave. Qin Chen and the others approached the true dragon and quickly entered the crack in the void. Just as it was leaving, the true dragon did not forget to strike out a terrifying dragon claw. This was an attack condensed from the spirit energy between Heaven and Earth. It was extremely terrifying. The terrifying attack landed on the God Emperor-realm sect leader to delay him for a while. As long as they could buy enough time, they could leave. At this moment, looking at the attack of the true dragon, the sect leader of the supreme orthodoxy could not help but give up the idea of chasing and began to defend against the attack. As for the Great God-realm experts of the supreme orthodoxy, they didn¡¯t have the guts to chase and stop Qin Chen and the others. One had to know that a true dragon was a God Emperor-realm expert. With a single slap from the other party, many of them would die or be injured. Then, they watched as the true dragon, Qin Chen, and the others fled into the crack in the void and disappeared. God knows where they went. After learning that there was a supreme orthodoxy there, Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He quickly left, avoiding the supreme orthodoxy. It seemed that they had found the wrong place again. It would not be easy to find the remaining locations in the coordinates. Following this, Qin Chen, the true dragon, and the others continued to travel through the void and tear the space. Along the way, they slowly recovered from their injuries. The battle just now hadn¡¯t been satisfying enough. They had only fought in a hurry and did not even kill a single person. There had been no casualties. The main reason was that the strength of the supreme orthodoxy was too terrifying. Even the true dragon might not be their match. Once more than twenty Great God-realm experts joined forces, the attack they launched could even make the true dragon fear. After all, even though it was in the God Emperor realm, it would still die. It wasn¡¯t as if God Emperors were unparalleled in the world. No matter how strong the true dragon¡¯s body was, it couldn¡¯t possibly withstand all the attacks. After Qin Chen and the rest left, they sensed that someone seemed to be following them. It was the experts from the powerful cosmic races. When they discovered the traces of Qin Chen and the others, they quickly left and spread the news. It seemed that they wanted to kill them. Chapter 432 - 432 Fei Xuan 432 Fei Xuan As their targets, Qin Chen and the others were naturally very angry. Their hearts were filled with anger. If the other party dared to come, they would definitely kill them all and let the other party know what true power is. After the battle with the supreme orthodoxy¡¯s God Emperor, the true dragon was even more certain that its strength was far from strong enough. If it had been strong enough, it could¡¯ve destroyed the supreme orthodoxy alone. Those people from the supreme orthodoxy were very despicable as well. They didn¡¯t even ask for its opinion and attacked it directly, even wanting to kill it. If not for the fact that the true dragon had already broken through to the God Emperor realm, it was very likely that it would have fallen at the hands of that supreme orthodoxy this time. After all, the other party had a God Emperor-realm expert. The other party was in the same cultivation realm as it, only slightly stronger. Only by relying on its innate advantage and the powerful body from its bloodline had the true dragon managed to resist this expert. Otherwise, the sect leader of the supreme orthodoxy could have turned Qin Chen and the others into ashes with a light blow. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others discovered that there seemed to be a force secretly monitoring them. Who was doing this? It couldn¡¯t be the black stone golem. The other party¡¯s current whereabouts were unknown, and God knows if he was dead or not. Furthermore, the black stone golem had always relied on the methods left behind by his master to find Qin Chen and the others. As such, it should be another faction. What was their goal? Qin Chen could not help but think of the true dragon. After all, the true dragon was an extraordinary existence. If those people really had a target, they should have their eyes on the true dragon. After all, the true dragon was not an ordinary creature, but a divine beast born between heaven and earth. If they could get the true dragon, it would certainly bring them immeasurable benefits. In the nine Heavens and ten lands, many were interested in the true dragon. Even beyond the nine Heavens and ten lands, it was the same. The true dragon hadn¡¯t expected to be targeted. However, the other party had yet to reveal himself, so they did not know who he was. Thinking of this, the true dragon¡¯s heart was filled with endless anger. It was a God Emperor, so why did everyone seem to have thoughts about it? In the current world, the other divine beasts had long gone extinct, and only the true dragon had chosen to appear. As a result, many beings who wanted to seize the opportunity to become an emperor felt a sense of crisis. Not only did they have to compete with the human cultivators, but they also had to compete with a true dragon. There was no guarantee that the true dragon wouldn¡¯t have thoughts of becoming an emperor. Therefore, if they could get rid of this true dragon first, that would naturally be the best. The true dragon was extremely furious. Every time it discovered someone watching it, it would immediately unleash its powerful strength and beat the other party into nothingness, not giving them a chance to speak. Finally, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon, it¡¯s better to leave one or two alive. We can also question who the hell it is that wants to attack you.¡± The true dragon was a God Emperor-realm expert. A being that could attack the true dragon was definitely an extremely powerful character. At the very least, it should not be an ordinary person. No ordinary person would ever have the courage to provoke an expert like the true dragon. Moreover, the true dragon¡¯s potential was extraordinary such that it could possibly become a quasi-emperor-realm expert in the future. Furthermore, it was a divine beast in the world. Who would dare to provoke such a future quasi-emperor? Although the true dragon¡¯s realm wasn¡¯t too powerful, only in the God Emperor realm now, many experts still thought that it could definitely become a quasi-emperor-realm expert, which made them restless. Once again, Qin Chen discovered that someone was following them. He was already numb. God knows that they had already traveled to countless corners of the cosmic, yet they were still being followed. As such, even he had gotten a little annoyed. Without waiting for the true dragon to make a move, Qin Chen charged over himself and used the Moving Secret Technique to take down the God-realm expert. The current Qin Chen¡¯s body, after being tempered by the Heavenly Furnace, could already be compared to the body of a God-realm expert. This God-realm expert was an expert from a powerful cosmic race. He had just broken through to the Great God realm. He didn¡¯t expect to fall into the hands of Qin Chen and the others. Then, Qin Chen said, ¡°Speak. Who made you do this?¡± The God-realm expert was obviously scared out of his wits. He saw the furious true dragon who looked as if it was about to devour someone and hurriedly revealed the person behind the scenes. It was actually an expert from a powerful race in another cosmic. He was one of the most powerful experts in that cosmic and had a certain reputation in the vast star field. Many felt that the other party would be able to reach the quasi-emperor realm in the future. If they could track down the true dragon and provide clues, they would definitely be able to win the other party¡¯s favor. Hearing this, Qin Chen was furious. They didn¡¯t expect that there would be someone behind them who wanted to make a move against them. According to what they were hearing, the other party was quite powerful. At least, he could mobilize so many people in this cosmic to look for Qin Chen and the others. It seemed that the existence that they were being targeted by this time also had considerable strength. Thinking of this, Qin Chen asked again, ¡°Quick, tell me, who is he?¡± Then, the expert smiled bitterly and spit out the person¡¯s name. ¡°Fei Xuan?¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart when he heard this name. He was enraged. To think someone dared to attack them. Yet, this so-called Fei Xuan was only a Great God-realm expert! Since the other party had such confidence to make a move against Qin Chen and the others, he must have made preparations. He wondered what kind of power the other party had. Qin Chen was very interested to know. He immediately released this Great God-realm expert and told him to tell Fei Xuan to be prepared to die if he met anyone who dared to work for him in the future. Upon hearing this, the Great God-realm expert who had been released quickly thanked Qin Chen and the others with great respect and fled. He brought this news back to Fei Xuan. If it had been the true dragon, it definitely wouldn¡¯t have let this guy go. It would¡¯ve been better to kill him directly. Qin Chen smiled, ¡°With this, the other party will probably choose to attack. Let¡¯s just wait.¡± Fei Xuan also revealed a cruel smile after hearing the news. He did not expect Elder King to have the guts to challenge him. From what he knew, the Elder King only had an extreme emperor weapon. Did he think that he was invincible just because he had an extreme emperor weapon? One had to know that he was an expert from a powerful cosmic race. Although he did not have an extreme emperor weapon left behind by the ancient great emperors, he had many ways to deal with Qin Chen. Chapter 433 - 433 Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor 433 Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor There were, after all, so many experts. It was impossible for every single one of them to be powerless against the ancient great emperors¡¯ weapons. Some had even left behind methods to deal with the weapons. If Qin Chen had the guts to fight him, Fei Xuan was confident that he could kill the former and take away his extreme emperor weapon. Thinking of this, Fei Xuan once again set off to search for the whereabouts of Qin Chen and the others. It was a pity that Qin Chen and the others traveled by tearing through the void. They were simply too fast. Every time Fei Xuan arrived, he was always a step too late. Qin Chen and the others had already left. With that, he continued to search. There was no one else by his side this time. He went alone to find the true dragon, the Elder King, and the others. In his opinion, the only ones who could be his targets were the human Elder King and the true dragon. Only the two of them could attract Fei Xuan¡¯s attention. Thinking of this, Fei Xuan quickly left and continued to tear space to search for the whereabouts of Qin Chen and the others. As long as he could find them, he would be able to kill them and obtain the extreme emperor weapon. At this point, Qin Chen and the others had a lot of built-up annoyance in their hearts. These days, no matter where they appeared in the cosmic, there would always be others following them. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t take it any longer. If he saw Fei Xuan, he would definitely kill him. He couldn¡¯t let him live. To think the other party was so arrogant that he wanted to attack them. Qin Chen would definitely not let him off. Not long after, Qin Chen received the news that Fei Xuan was actually tracking their whereabouts. Fei Xuan even stated that if he found Qin Chen and the others, he would capture the true dragon, kill Qin Chen, and take away the extreme emperor weapon. Upon hearing this news, Qin Chen was even more furious! This was simply not taking him seriously. One had to know that he was the Elder King of the human race. He definitely did not rely on luck to get to where he was today. Thinking of this, Qin Chen decided to wait for Fei Xuan to come to him. He would like to see what kind of power the other party had to have such confidence in subduing a true dragon, killing him, and taking away his extreme emperor weapon. Could it be that he had some powerful magic item or power? To think he was so sure that he could control Qin Chen and the others. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led the group to an ancient planet and set up an array, awaiting the arrival of Fei Xuan. The black stone golem had not come to find trouble with Qin Chen and the others yet. It seemed that he had suffered quite the injury. And now, Qin Chen and the others had encountered someone named Fei Xuan who didn¡¯t know the immensity of the heavens and earth. He heard that the other party had three heads and six arms and was an expert from a powerful cosmic race. Furthermore, he even carried the godfiend bloodline and could be considered a descendant of the godfiends. Fei Xuan had three heads and six arms, and his talent was outstanding. One must know that Qin Chen and the others had seen many godfiends. They had even met a godfiend from the golden coffin that had walked down an evil path, only to be unfortunately blown up in the end. They had also seen a godfiend in the fog back then. Unfortunately, only the corpse of that quasi-emperor-realm godfiend was left. Most of the experts of the godfiend race had probably disappeared long ago. To think Fei Xuan was a godfiend descendant. In that case, he should have some means left behind by the godfiends. Qin Chen revealed a smile. As long as this Fei Xuan dared to come over, he would definitely kill him. After all, Qin Chen was no ordinary person. He had been recognized by the bloody man as someone who had a great chance of becoming an expert. To be recognized by the bloody man, it was obvious that Qin Chen¡¯s talent was not low. He¡¯d like to see what kind of person that so-called Fei Xuan was, to actually dare to be so arrogant. To think there were so many experts in the cosmic who were willing to help Fei Xuan. This time, they were setting an example. They wanted to let the powerful cosmic races see that whoever dared to go against them had to be prepared to die. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others felt an unusual fluctuation. There was the power of a seal on this ancient planet! After sensing the power of the seal, they began to search the ancient planet. Qin Chen quickly found the location of the seal. It was a spatial node that had been exposed. Looking at the seal, Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He did not expect to find a place where something was sealed. Qin Chen was a little nervous. After all, they had released a terrifying existence like the bloody man the last time they entered a spatial node. After weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided to open the seal. With that, a crack appeared in the void. This was where the seal was. Qin Chen walked in, and at the same time, the true dragon and the others followed him. After everyone entered, they discovered that this was a broken small world that was collapsing. If not, its power would not have leaked out of the seal and been sensed by Qin Chen and the others. Within the seal were some palaces. They seemed to be traces left behind by the beings that once existed in this small world. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen immediately muttered to check in, and he immediately felt an item appear in his hand. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the land left behind by the Primordial Supreme. You have received the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor!] [Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor: God-realm armor. It was made by the Primordial Supreme. It has terrifying defensive power and can resist many attacks. It can also allow cultivators to deepen their understanding of the Great Path of heaven and earth.] Qin Chen looked at his hands. There was indeed armor. ¡°So this is the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor?¡± Just by holding it, Qin Chen could feel its terrifying aura. If he were to wear it, it would definitely greatly increase his defensive power. Thinking of this, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor attached itself to his body with a thought. It felt as if it had grown on his body. Only when he was in danger would the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor appear to help him resist the attacks. This was a very rare treasure. At the very least, Qin Chen had never seen such a terrifying treasure. Qin Chen¡¯s most vulnerable spot was his body. If his body was safe, he would not have to worry about anything when he fought. Then, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw many treasures floating in the air, but most of them had been rendered useless. Chapter 434 - 434 Fei Xuan, Descendant of the Godfiends 434 Fei Xuan, Descendant of the Godfiends When Qin Chen obtained the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he did not alert the others. Everyone saw all kinds of treasures flying around in this broken small world. Unfortunately, most of them had lost their original characteristics and could only be regarded as ordinary magic items. There were even some that had not been able to be preserved and had already lost all their spiritual energy. Seeing so many items, Qin Chen suspected that this was the territory of a sect left behind by an ancient faction. It was a pity that countless years had passed, and the place had long been eroded by time. Now, it was about to collapse. This small world was breaking apart as if it was going to completely disappear from the world. This space was no longer stable, so Qin Chen immediately decided to leave. However, the big scorpion¡¯s eyes were wide open and shone with a bright light, ¡°Elder King, there might be good things here!¡± Then, without waiting for Qin Chen¡¯s reply, the big scorpion ran forward and entered one palace after another in search of treasures. Although most of the things the big scorpion found were just useless trash, he also found some useful things. To him, these things should still be of use. The big scorpion had always had a hobby of collecting treasures, and he was unscrupulous. For example, he even dug out the huge gems embedded in two stone lions¡¯ eyes with a dagger and put them in his pocket. He also took away some of the shiny golden plaques. If those things were melted, they would be good materials. Qin Chen and the others were speechless when they saw the big scorpion keeping everything in his path. They only felt that he was too obsessive. Unfortunately, they had no choice but to wait for the big scorpion to continue searching for treasures. He went in and ruthlessly plundered all the remaining palaces in this small world before he was finally willing to leave reluctantly. After Qin Chen and the others left and returned to the ancient planet, the small world collapsed completely and shattered into pieces, turning into nothingness, no longer existing in the world. The remaining treasures disappeared as well. Then, Qin Chen and the rest stayed on the ancient planet, waiting for Fei Xuan¡¯s arrival. According to logic, Fei Xuan should have found their traces and would arrive here soon. Qin Chen was very curious about where the other party¡¯s confidence stemmed from to actually dare to attack them. One must know that Qin Chen and the others were not to be trifled with. With their combined combat strength, even a God Emperor-realm expert might be killed. They had never imagined that Fei Xuan would have the guts to come and find them and attack them. The true dragon was disdainful, ¡°It¡¯s said that Fei Xuan is a descendant of the godfiends. In my opinion, he¡¯s nothing special. If he dares to appear, I¡¯ll crush him with one claw.¡± The true dragon was already a level 3 God Emperor-realm expert. Even if he were to encounter a level 5 God Emperor-realm expert or higher, he would not be afraid in the slightest. Rather, he was confident that he would be able to escape from the opponent¡¯s attack. The true dragon didn¡¯t believe that Fei Xuan, a mere Great God-realm existence, could have such great abilities as to kill it and make it surrender. On the other hand, Qin Chen was still cautious. No matter what, no one would be stupid enough to just come and throw their lives away. Therefore, Fei Xuan must have some trump cards. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately began to cultivate in seclusion, trying to improve his cultivation base. Qin Chen had many treasures, such as the divine dragon¡¯s blood essence, the true dragon¡¯s blood essence that he had obtained from the true dragon, and the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life. These were all treasures that could increase one¡¯s cultivation base. In this world, there was probably no one who could compare to the abundance of cultivation resources Qin Chen had. After more than ten days of waiting, there was finally a fluctuation in the outer area of the ancient planet. Qin Chen immediately opened his eyes. Everyone could feel the fluctuation. It should be Fei Xuan. By the time Qin Chen and the rest were ready, a crack appeared in the void. A three-headed, six-armed godfiend walked out. It looked extremely terrifying. This was indeed the characteristic of a descendant of the godfiends. Only a godfiend could have such an appearance. Then, the godfiend said cheekily, ¡°I¡¯ve finally found you. You should be the Elder King, right? I¡¯ve long heard of your great name. I¡¯ll kill you today and prove my path, and your extreme emperor weapon will be mine! I¡¯ve also come here today to subdue the true dragon. If you can become my mount, I believe that in the future when I become an ancient great emperor, you¡¯ll be able to bask in my glory. This will not be considered an insult to you.¡± Hearing this, the true dragon flew into a rage. Who the hell was this guy? How dare he claim that he could become an ancient great emperor? Wasn¡¯t he afraid his tongue falling off?! One must know that it wasn¡¯t that easy to become an ancient great emperor. Although there was a sliver of opportunity to become an ancient great emperor in this era, it wasn¡¯t something that everyone had the confidence to obtain. For example, those even more powerful existences and unspeakable old monsters could probably crush this boastful descendant of the godfiends with a finger. In their eyes, it was a fool¡¯s dream for a mere Great God to claim that he could obtain the opportunity to become an emperor. With that, the true dragon let out a roar, shaking the void. In contrast, the three-headed and six-armed godfiend laughed heartily as if he could already see the true dragon being subdued by him. Qin Chen sneered, ¡°You must be Fei Xuan. I¡¯ve long heard that you¡¯ve been looking for me. Today, I¡¯d like to see where your confidence comes from.¡± At this point, Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo and injected his divine power into it. The innate sword embryo was instantly revived! A terrifying emperor¡¯s might erupted, causing the void in front of him to collapse! Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was activated. One must know that even a Great God-realm expert might not be able to kill him in a short time. After all, Qin Chen had the mysterious Dao patterns of heaven and earth that he had obtained from the light screen. If he suffered a fatal attack, it would automatically appear to protect him. Furthermore, his body had been refined in the Heavenly Furnace, making his physical body as solid as a God-realm expert. On top of that, he had just obtained a defensive supreme treasure, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Judging from Fei Xuan¡¯s realm, he might very well be killed by Qin Chen instead. Qin Chen said to Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the rest, ¡°Let me deal with him alone. I¡¯d like to see where his confidence comes from.¡± Following this, Qin Chen stepped on the Moving Secret Technique, crossed the void, and attacked Fei Xuan! The three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan roared with laughter when he saw the human Elder King charging toward him. Chapter 435 - 435 Six Demon God Weapons 435 Six Demon God Weapons In ancient times, when the world had just been created, there were no humans. The current human race was merely a race that had evolved from the godfiends of that time. Fei Xuan himself had a genuine godfiend bloodline and was one of the few descendants of godfiends in the world. The power and talent he had were unrivaled in the world! How could he be defeated by a mere human Elder King? He was going to kill Qin Chen today. Many said that the latter had the potential to become an emperor, so he wanted to see how capable the other party was today! With that, six terrifying weapons appeared on his six arms. Although they were not as powerful as ordinary divine weapons, they could still exert a considerable amount of power. ¡°The six Demon God weapons!¡± These six different weapons seemed to be a set of magic items. Following this, Fei Xuan charged toward Qin Chen! Instantly, divine light emerged from the seven apertures of his three heads, making him look extremely terrifying! This was the true bloodline of the godfiends. Only godfiends could do this. Seeing this, Qin Chen was shocked, but he still chose to fight. He didn¡¯t believe that the other party would be able to kill him in a short time. Besides, even if he couldn¡¯t defeat this fellow, didn¡¯t he still have the true dragon? The true dragon was so angry that it wanted to swallow Fei Xuan alive. One of Fei Xuan¡¯s heads spurted out terrifying flames, one of them spurted out powerful astral winds, and the other spurted out a stream of water that contained terrifying power. He looked like a monster. Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated his innate sword embryo and unleashed a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, slashing it at the opponent before him. The space in front of him was instantly shattered! Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic sword energy slashed down like a giant sword. Fei Xuan was shocked when he felt the power of the extreme emperor weapon, but he soon became even more excited. ¡°So this is the extreme emperor weapon? It seems to really be a supreme treasure. No wonder it was able to become the weapon of an ancient great emperor!¡± Then, he charged at Qin Chen crazily, ¡°I¡¯ll get my hands on this extreme emperor weapon!¡± In an instant, the two were engaged in a fierce battle. Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed down, but it was blocked by Fei Xuan¡¯s attacks with six different weapons. Qin Chen was shocked. He did not expect his opponent to be able to withstand the attack of an extreme emperor weapon. Fei Xuan didn¡¯t back down at all. He ruthlessly sent out countless attacks again! Qin Chen dodged in an instant, trying to avoid the attacks. Unexpectedly, those attacks locked onto him as if they had eyes. Left with no choice, Qin Chen could only take out his innate sword embryo and continuously slash out sword after sword to finally offset his opponent¡¯s attack. The battle consumed a lot of Qin Chen¡¯s divine power. Soon, the divine power in his body had been depleted. As such, Qin Chen took out a handful of healing pills and swallowed them. Very quickly, his divine power began to recover at a crazy rate, but it was far from being able to keep up with the speed at which he was consuming it. Qin Chen continued to use the innate sword embryo in his hand to continuously slash out sword after sword. Countless sharp sword energy with rules of chaos slashed at the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan. Fei Xuan laughed out loud. He didn¡¯t expect the human Elder King to only have this much ability, ¡°If that¡¯s all you have, then just obediently face your death today! If you admit defeat now, be willing to be my slave, swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, and hand over the innate sword embryo, I can consider sparing your life and keeping you by my side!¡± Qin Chen was so angry that he laughed. Then, he continued to slash out sword energy. As of now, he had yet to discover what unfathomable trump cards Fei Xuan had. Fei Xuan disappeared into the void. He used such a mysterious escape technique, which surprised Qin Chen. He didn¡¯t expect the descendant of the godfiends to know such a terrifying escape technique. It was better than his World Moving Technique. Yet, this still wasn¡¯t Fei Xuan¡¯s hidden trump card. He still hadn¡¯t taken it out yet. Once he made his move, it would be Qin Chen¡¯s death. Now, Fei Xuan wanted to use Qin Chen to hone his martial arts. He wanted to see what else was so special about the latter that he could actually get such a high evaluation. Someone once said that the human race¡¯s Elder King had the potential to become an emperor. He didn¡¯t believe a word of it. After all, the nine Heavens and ten lands were just barren places to him. It could not be compared to the vast amount of cultivation resources in the cosmic. In his opinion, Qin Chen was just an expert who came from a small place. He just stood out among the other weaklings. Fei Xuan then attacked Qin Chen ruthlessly, wanting to kill him. Unfortunately, Qin Chen was not so easy to deal with. After all, Qin Chen had faced many life-and-death crises along the way, so he had long become extremely agile. Qin Chen even felt that his Moving Secret Technique seemed to have improved again, to the extent he could avoid Fei Xuan¡¯s incoming attacks by a narrow margin. Fei Xuan was also surprised. It seemed that this human Elder King wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. His great name wasn¡¯t without any basis. His reputation was well-deserved, and he was still constantly improving. On top of that, the other party seemed to be treating him as a whetstone. However, Fei Xuan himself was a Great God-realm expert, while Qin Chen was only a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert. Even if Qin Chen had some special abilities, and ordinary God-realm experts were no match for him, so what? The opponents that Qin Chen had defeated were nothing more than some good-for-nothings. Qin Chen simply could not be compared to him! Thinking up to this point, the godfiend Fei Xuan launched another attack. Qin Chen watched as Fei Xuan¡¯s three heads spurted out strong winds, flames, and water currents, all three attacking him all at once. He didn¡¯t know if the attacks of these three energies could threaten him, but he still reacted very quickly and slashed out with his sword. The collision produced a terrifying fluctuation. Qin Chen did not expect that the attack from the three heads would be so terrifying. He was shocked. It seemed that the other party was not ordinary. To be able to do this was enough to show that Fei Xuan was indeed a very talented expert. Moreover, he was probably a true expert among the many talents. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue, who was in the same realm as him, might not be his match. As expected, the godfiend bloodline was extremely powerful. In Qin Chen¡¯s mind, the image of the godfiend from the golden coffin appeared. In comparison to the other party, Fei Xuan might have already surpassed the godfiend with the pure bloodline. Just by relying on his impure godfiend bloodline, he was able to reach this stage. This showed that Fei Xuan was extraordinary. If Fei Xuan didn¡¯t die, he might really be able to grow to the realm where he could fight to be an ancient great emperor. If he could obtain the opportunity to become an emperor in this era, it wasn¡¯t impossible. Chapter 436 - 436 Tragic Great Battle 436 Tragic Great Battle Thinking of this, Qin Chen suddenly unleashed his full strength. He no longer held back and immediately attacked with all his might. Today, he had to defeat his opponent no matter what. Only Qin Chen could have such a heaven-defying and crazy idea. Qin Chen was only a level 9 Supreme Sage-realm expert. Compared to Fei Xuan, who had already broken through to the Great God realm, there was naturally a huge gap. The other party¡¯s divine power and other aspects surpassed his. The only thing that Qin Chen could probably compare to the other party was the many treasures he had. Then, Qin Chen was unable to dodge in time and was hit by an attack. He was instantly sent flying hundreds of feet away and smashed into the ancient planet, leaving a huge pit! Following this, Qin Chen struggled to get up with great difficulty. Fei Xuan was extremely shocked. He realized that his attack did not kill the other party. One must know that even a God-realm expert would have been turned into ashes by this attack. How did this human Elder King survive? Then, he saw armor appear on Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was shining, and it was most likely no ordinary item. It was very likely a rare treasure! He did not expect the human Elder King to have mysterious armor on him. It was this armor that had saved Qin Chen¡¯s life. Qin Chen could feel that the terrifying attack had damaged his internal organs and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor had helped him block most of the impact of the attack, he had still suffered some injuries. Just the force of the impact was extremely terrifying, shocking Qin Chen. As expected, Fei Xuan had some capabilities. No wonder he was so arrogant, wanting to step into the ancient great emperor realm. In the face of such a powerful enemy, Qin Chen did not take a step back. He immediately attacked the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan again. No matter what, Fei Xuan would not allow Qin Chen to hurt him. After all, he was two major realms higher than the latter. What did that mean? It meant that Qin Chen was like a child facing a middle-aged man. No matter how much strength he exerted in his attacks, it would only be a scratch. As such, Fei Xuan didn¡¯t dodge. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s sword energy, he also launched a terrifying attack that collided with it, causing a shocking explosion. The big scorpion was shocked when he saw this, ¡°Oh my God, what kind of monster is this? To think he can force the Elder King to this extent!¡± It was not hard to imagine how powerful Fei Xuan was. If the true dragon had not achieved atavism and was only a wyrm, it would probably not be Fei Xuan¡¯s opponent either. The qualities of the cultivation techniques and supernormal knowledge that the other party had cultivated, as well as his realm, were already extremely high. Perhaps Fei Xuan was supreme at the peak of his realm. In the Great God realm, he didn¡¯t think much of anyone else. However, at this moment, he changed his opinion of Qin Chen. This human Elder King was simply too monstrous. With just a cultivation of level 9 of the Supreme Sage realm, Qin Chen was able to block his attack. One must know that even Great Gods of the same realm might not be able to withstand his attack. Not to mention that the other party had been hit directly. Even though Qin Chen had a treasure to help him block the attack, he was still injured. Of course, this was also a part of his strength. Thinking of this, the godfiend Fei Xuan became even crazier as his eyes were filled with greed. If he could kill Qin Chen, not only would he get the latter¡¯s extreme emperor weapon, but he would also get his armor, which provided a supreme defense. If he was able to obtain these two items, he was confident that he could even slowly exhaust a God Emperor to death in a fight. Looking at this terrifying battle, which had already reached such an intense stage, everyone also took a sharp intake of cold air in their hearts. It seemed that Fei Xuan did have some capabilities. To think he was able to force the Elder King into a desperate situation. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Elder King was wearing a supreme treasure armor that they had never seen before, he might have been severely injured or even in danger. However, this also showed that Qin Chen was even more monstrous than the godfiend Fei Xuan. After all, many times, countless peerless figures had been defeated by luck. And now, it was apparent that Qin Chen¡¯s luck was at its peak. The fact that he could fight a Great God-realm godfiend with his level 9 Supreme Sage realm cultivation was already enough to show that he was extraordinary. If it was back then when Qin Chen faced the godfiend from the golden coffin on the ancient planet who had also been a Great God, he had been no match for the latter at all and could only run. But now, facing Fei Xuan, who was even more powerful than the godfiend from the golden coffin, Qin Chen was no longer afraid. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was unleashing its strongest power. With the help of the innate sword embryo¡¯s power, he continued to fight against the godfiend Fei Xuan. Soon, he was covered in injuries. These injuries were all internal, while not a scratch could be seen on the surface of his body. When the attacks landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body, they were all blocked by the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. As such, the impact simply entered Qin Chen¡¯s body and shook his internal organs to the point that they were about to split open. Qin Chen immediately took out a drop of the divine dragon blood essence and swallowed it. In an instant, he felt that his body was about to burn up. He waved his hand and shot out a terrifying flame. It was the Green Lotus Demonic Flame. A huge green lotus flower appeared under his feet. It was made of extremely terrifying flames! Even the void was destroyed wherever this flame went! Then, it burned toward the godfiend Fei Xuan. When the godfiend Fei Xuan saw this terrifying flame, he was naturally shocked. Although he could spit out extraordinary flames, he didn¡¯t expect Qin Chen to be able to use flames that were even more terrifying than his. It could even burn the void! What kind of flame was this? If he came into contact with it, it would probably burn him into nothingness. He didn¡¯t dare to be careless, so he used his terrifying escape technique to disappear into the void and avoid the attack. Qin Chen had originally wanted to keep the flame as a trump card. He had planned to first get close to the godfiend Fei Xuan, then attack and catch him off guard. When the other party revealed a flaw, he would then kill him in one blow. In that case, he would have killed a Great God-realm expert with his own strength. It was a pity that the godfiend Fei Xuan was not an ordinary figure. To be able to survive in the cosmic and have the bloodline of the godfiends, it was a given that the ordinary experts were nothing to him. Fei Xuan instantly sensed the terrifying fluctuation and disappeared into the void, leaving no trace behind. Qin Chen sneered. It seemed that this strong enemy was very difficult to deal with. He couldn¡¯t find the other party¡¯s weakness in a short time. Chapter 437 - 437 Chopping off an Arm 437 Chopping off an Arm Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt some uneasiness in his heart. He did not know where the godfiend Fei Xuan would come from. Just as he was bewildered, a terrifying fluctuation appeared behind him. The void cracked open, and someone walked out of the crack. It was the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan! He directly struck out an attack with his six arms using a set of magic items. The power of various weapons added together was extremely terrifying! Qin Chen was instantly sent flying. Qin Chen felt as if he was about to lose consciousness. His internal organs had reached the limit of what they could withstand, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he felt that he could not hold on any longer. No one had thought that Fei Xuan would be so good at hiding. If Qin Chen did not have the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he would have been killed by the other party. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was extremely furious. However, there was nothing he could do. If he had broken through to the God realm, he might have been able to fight the other party. Unfortunately, his strength was lacking now. The Great God-realm godfiend Fei Xuan attacked again, not prepared to give Qin Chen a chance to recover. As long as the other party was killed, he would be able to obtain his treasures. Seeing this, everyone became extremely worried and couldn¡¯t help but make a move. Seeing the crowd charging over, Fei Xuan did not dodge and insisted on launching another attack to kill Qin Chen. At this moment, the true dragon let out a furious roar, and the intimidation caused Fei Xuan to pause for a moment. In that instant, the true dragon seized the opportunity and instantly appeared behind Fei Xuan. It changed into its true form, turning into a huge true dragon, and clawed at the other party! The terrifying dragon claw tore the void apart with astonishing fluctuations and arrived in front of Fei Xuan in an instant. If Fei Xuan was determined to kill Qin Chen, he would also be torn in half in an instant. Regarding this point, the true dragon was incomparably confident. He was a God Emperor-realm expert. When facing the Great God-realm Fei Xuan, no matter how many trump cards the other party had, he would not be able to resist the dragon claw. Seeing this shocking scene, a fatal sense of danger exploded in Fei Xuan¡¯s heart. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately used his terrifying escape technique to disappear into the void and hide again. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been injured quite badly this time. If not for the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he would have been killed by the other party. If he could break through to the God realm, the situation would have been reversed. Qin Chen could not help but feel angry. Unfortunately, he was only one step away. Then, Qin Chen suddenly charged toward Fei Xuan, who had just stepped out of the crack in the void! Fei Xuan didn¡¯t think that the human race Elder King would dare to attack him again. He had never expected that the human race¡¯s Elder King would be able to detect the fluctuations in the void either. The moment he had appeared, Qin Chen had already detected his position and immediately charged over! Qin Chen suddenly released a wave of sword energy that shattered the void layer by layer. It was just a little bit away from hitting Fei Xuan¡¯s body! Fei Xuan turned, and one of his arms was cut off. Instantly, blood spurted out. Fei Xuan was instantly enraged. The huge pain made his face ferocious, and all three heads carried extremely angry expressions! To think one of his arms had been cut off. He then grabbed the cut-off arm and instantly joined it back. Such a terrifying recovery ability shocked even the true dragon. What kind of strange bloodline was this? It should be thanks to the godfiend bloodline, which was the best at saving lives among the godfiends. To think it allowed Fei Xuan to recover from such heavy injuries in an instant! Although there was a certain price to pay for recovery, it was acceptable to the godfiend Fei Xuan. Fei Xuan¡¯s face turned slightly pale. He didn¡¯t expect to be injured by the level 9 Supreme Sage human Elder King. How could he take this? With that, he abruptly struck out six different weapons, forming an array and attacking Qin Chen! Qin Chen had never seen weapons that could form an array. Immediately, his heart was filled with fear as a life-and-death crisis emerged! At the critical moment, the void was torn apart again. The true dragon rushed to Qin Chen¡¯s front and used its huge body to whip the array with its tail! The array formed by the weapons and magic items instantly disintegrated and fell back into the hands of the godfiend Fei Xuan. The godfiend Fei Xuan was extremely shocked. He didn¡¯t expect the true dragon to make a move again. If not for the true dragon¡¯s intervention, the human Elder King would have already died twice. ¡°Detestable!¡± The true dragon¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. In its opinion, they couldn¡¯t leave the godfiend Fei Xuan alive. If he was allowed to continue growing, he would most likely become a huge scourge that could threaten it. Even though it was a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth, it was far from being as freakish and monstrous as the other party. One could imagine that if Fei Xuan was given enough time, he would definitely grow into a quasi-emperor. With such monstrous talent, how could they let him live? At the thought of this, the true dragon immediately charged toward the godfiend Fei Xuan. At this moment, Qin Chen had exhausted all his energy. He was surrounded by Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others who had rushed over to protect him. This was to prevent Fei Xuan from taking advantage of Qin Chen¡¯s injuries. And now, even if the godfiend Fei Xuan had the intention to take this opportunity to kill Qin Chen, it was impossible because he had already been targeted by the true dragon. The true dragon immediately fought with the other party, its dragon claws tearing the void layer by layer. The godfiend Fei Xuan took out his six different weapons again, forming another array and sending it toward the true dragon fiercely! The array collided with the dragon claw, and a terrifying explosion instantly erupted. The shockwaves turned the void before them into chaos. Even the true dragon was shocked. Fei Xuan was indeed no ordinary character. He was so powerful that he could fight with it. After that, Fei Xuan quickly used his terrifying escape technique and disappeared again. His figure reappeared a thousand feet away. He knew that he was definitely not the true dragon¡¯s opponent in close combat. He then said, ¡°As expected of a true dragon. If I can make you my mount, it will be a great opportunity for you. If I become an ancient great emperor, I will not treat you poorly.¡± Hearing this, the true dragon had the urge to just slap this three-headed and six-armed monster to death. To think Fei Xuan started to boast shamelessly again, talking about becoming an ancient great emperor in every sentence. Could it be that he thought that he could become an ancient great emperor just because he had some talent? Chapter 438 - 438 Six Paths Reincarnation Fist 438 Six Paths Reincarnation Fist What kind of joke was this? If one could become an ancient great emperor so easily, there wouldn¡¯t be so many famous experts in history who died. In the nine Heavens and ten lands, and even in the cosmic, only one ancient great emperor could exist. In the same era, it was impossible for a second one to appear. To seize this opportunity, who knew how many experts would fall? Even God Emperors might die, let alone this godfiend who was a mere Great God. Although Fei Xuan¡¯s strength was terrifying and his talent was extremely monstrous, he would only be able to take one of the true dragon¡¯s attacks. With that, the true dragon spat out a stream of dragon flames, which burned Fei Xuan. Immediately, Fei Xuan¡¯s three heads showed fear. In his opinion, only the dragon flame was more terrifying than the Green Lotus Demonic Flame used by the human Elder King. Therefore, he definitely could not take it head-on. If he did, he would be courting death. As such, he used his escape technique to dodge, but he didn¡¯t expect the dragon flame to turn into a figure of a dragon. The fire dragon chased him relentlessly! No matter where he appeared, the first thing the fire dragon did was cross the void and come over to him! The three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan was extremely furious. This true dragon¡¯s temperament was indeed unyielding. It seemed that it would definitely not be an easy task to make it his mount. Being chased and attacked by the fire dragon, the godfiend Fei Xuan had no choice but to constantly use his terrifying escape technique to escape into the void. He kept searching his mind for a way to break out of this situation. He didn¡¯t know if his set of magic items, the six different weapons, could withstand the terrifying power of the dragon flames. His set of magic items was not graded. They weren¡¯t the weakest weapons, but they weren¡¯t the strongest either. In the hands of different people, they could exert different powers. In Fei Xuan¡¯s eyes, they were even more terrifying than extreme emperor weapons. It was because of these six different weapons that he was able to fight against Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo. If it were any other ordinary weapon, it would have long been damaged. To refine this set of weapons, the godfiend Fei Xuan paid an extremely great price. At the thought of this, he made his decision and flashed out of the void. Facing the fire dragon that was charging towards him, he struck out with his six different weapons, forming an array that ruthlessly collided with the fire dragon! The fire dragon¡¯s power was extremely terrifying. It broke the array of the six different weapons in an instant. Fortunately, Fei Xuan managed to withstand the dragon flames. Looking at the six different weapons that flew back to his hands and were trembling, the godfiend Fei Xuan¡¯s heart ached. One had to know that this was a set of magic items that he had obtained with great difficulty and had paid a great price for. They were extremely precious. If they were destroyed, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to find a way to repair them. The true dragon was incomparably shocked. To think the six weapons in the hands of the godfiend Fei Xuan were so abnormal. The true dragon recalled that even its dragon flames could not do anything to the other party. This was enough to prove how extraordinary this set of magic items was. To think they could resist its terrifying dragon flames. One must know that the dragon flame was the innate flame of the true dragon race, which was extremely powerful. But now, the flames were actually blocked by the six strange weapons of the godfiend Fei Xuan. How could this not shock the true dragon? At this moment, Qin Chen had already swallowed a few leaves from the ancient tree of life with great difficulty. The tremendous life force began to nourish his internal organs, allowing them, which were on the verge of shattering, to slowly recover. Qin Chen kept panting and his face was extremely pale. Even with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he had almost died at the hands of the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan. The other party was truly too terrifying. No wonder he had the guts to come and look for them. He had already reached an incomparably powerful stage and could even withstand the attack of the true dragon who was in the God Emperor realm. This further proved that he was extraordinary. The true dragon couldn¡¯t help but become serious. It found that it had to go all out just to deal with this Great God-realm godfiend. Otherwise, the godfiend Fei Xuan could well hurt it. For Fei Xuan to just be in the Great God realm yet have the ability to fight across realms was enough to show how terrifying he was. Qin Chen did not expect such a monstrous genius to appear. It seemed that this was a sign of the descending chaos! Qin Chen hurried to recover from his injuries. He saw that the true dragon was still fighting with Fei Xuan, and the latter was struggling to hold on under the fierce attacks of the true dragon. Qin Chen returned to the ancient planet and took out all kinds of heavenly treasures to refine them, healing his internal organs. At this moment, Qin Chen heard a voice again. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] The small world sealed on the ancient planet had been completely shattered, but he could still check in there again? Qin Chen immediately said in his heart without hesitation, check-in! [Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in to the place left behind by the Primordial Supreme. You have received the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!] [Six Paths Reincarnation Fist: A legendary supreme fist technique that almost no one has been able to master. When the last person who mastered the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist passed away, it was thus lost. It is a celestial technique.] Qin Chen was shocked. To think he had obtained the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist that was a celestial technique! According to the legends, no one could master it. If he could, wouldn¡¯t he possess supreme combat power? With that, the profoundness of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist appeared in his heart. In an instant, his Dao heart understood and he fully comprehended the technique. When he opened his eyes again, Qin Chen could feel the majestic battle intent in his body as if it could penetrate the universe! At this moment, Qin Chen had almost fully recovered. He took a step forward, looking down on the world like an unparalleled master. The shocking aura he exuded shocked even the true dragon. The godfiend Fei Xuan was also a little apprehensive. He had just sensed a terrifying aura that was emitted by Qin Chen. He didn¡¯t know why the latter had suddenly changed so quickly. He had been able to beat Qin Chen up before, but now he felt threatened. Had the other party been hiding his strength before? Qin Chen was simply too cunning! No one could match his sinister and cunning intentions! The godfiend Fei Xuan immediately activated his godfiend supernormal knowledge. His body emitted a divine glow as he looked at Qin Chen. Qin Chen took a step forward and crossed countless feet. Even the void could not stop his speed. ¡°Brother dragon, step back. I¡¯ll fight him!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s hair was loose and fluttered even though there was no wind. A terrifying aura was emitted from his body! Chapter 439 - 439 Setting Foot in the God Realm 439 Setting Foot in the God Realm The true dragon nodded when it saw Qin Chen¡¯s great change. It retreated to the side and left the battlefield to Qin Chen. Looking at Qin Chen, who was about to attack him, Fei Xuan sneered, ¡°You¡¯re just a level 9 Supreme Sage realm expert. You haven¡¯t even stepped into the God realm. How can you fight me?¡± Qin Chen clenched his fists, and an endless battle intent surged out, which actually changed the world. In an instant, it was as if he had opened up a world of his own in the nine Heavens! ¡°Who said I can¡¯t fight you?!¡± Qin Chen let out a furious roar, and the aura on his body advanced to the God realm! At this moment, Qin Chen had already stepped into the God realm. Above the nine Heavens, the heavenly tribulation was condensed, which shocked Fei Xuan. ¡°Interesting¡­¡± Fei Xuan couldn¡¯t help but take a step back and used his terrifying escape technique to escape a thousand miles away. This was Qin Chen¡¯s heavenly tribulation. He could not allow himself to be affected. The heavenly tribulation in the sky was getting increasingly terrifying. Dark clouds gathered as if it was going to destroy the world! Fei Xuan was secretly surprised that such a terrifying heavenly tribulation had been triggered by the human cultivator before him. This further showed the other party¡¯s strength. Qin Chen cast a cold glance at him. The dark clouds of the heavenly tribulation above the nine Heavens had yet to disperse, but it was already like the Heavenly Dao wanted to suppress Qin Chen. A terrifying power descended on him. However, Qin Chen was fearless, ¡°I have already stepped into the God realm. Who can fight me?¡± Fei Xuan wanted to see if Qin Chen could survive this heavenly tribulation. Fei Xuan was incomparably shocked. Even if he had only experienced such a heavenly tribulation with terrifying fluctuations like this back when he was breaking through to the Great God realm. The big scorpion, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the others were shocked. They did not expect the Elder King to break through at this time. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a dazzling golden divine lightning bolt shot out. It turned into a golden God and whizzed toward Qin Chen! He wanted to kill Qin Chen with the supreme heavenly tribulation! Qin Chen was not afraid at all. Endless battle intent burst out from his body. He circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme, and countless rules of chaos densely covered his body! Then, he activated the Moving Secret Technique, tore the void apart, and threw a punch! This punch alone could shake the vast earth! The power of this punch shattered the void and even the chaos was converted into Qin Chen¡¯s power! With that, he actually managed to force the golden God in front of him back with a single punch. Seeing with his own eyes that Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength had increased so much, Fei Xuan¡¯s heart throbbed. Such a great enemy indeed had the potential to become an emperor! It seemed that those people were not wrong. Then, Qin Chen attacked the golden God in front of him. He threw another punch, and this punch was like the undying will of the six paths of reincarnation as it landed on the golden God¡¯s body! In an instant, cracks appeared on his opponent¡¯s body. Even the golden God condensed by the heavenly tribulation seemed to be unable to resist. Qin Chen once again flew forward and threw another punch! The power of this punch was even greater than the previous one. It was like a God of war who could not be destroyed among the six paths of reincarnation. The golden God had no choice but to defend himself. He formed a divine shield and blocked Qin Chen¡¯s attack. However, he had never expected that Qin Chen¡¯s punch would be so destructive that his shield would explode. With that, the shield formed by the heavenly tribulation shattered with a loud bang. Then, with a punch, the God formed by the heavenly tribulation was shattered as well. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes shot out countless rays of divine light. He was like an ancient great emperor from the primordial era who looked down on the universe. Then, the heavenly tribulation struck down another black thunderbolt. This black thunderbolt was extremely terrifying and carried an aura of great destruction! If an ordinary God-realm expert was hit, he would definitely be seriously injured. If he was hit head-on, he would probably die. However, Qin Chen was fearless. He threw out another punch. Even if it was the heavenly tribulation, how could it destroy him? He would like to see if it had such capabilities and who was stronger! With just one punch, the black lightning was obliterated. Such unparalleled combat power made everyone feel fear. It was as if Qin Chen was no longer the person they knew, but a human ancestor from ancient times. The heavenly tribulation above the nine Heavens was furious. In an instant, countless thunderbolts were sent down, sweeping toward Qin Chen like a huge river hitting the shore. Qin Chen¡¯s body at this moment seemed so small like a small boat on the ocean that could capsize at any time. However, Qin Chen was still unafraid. After all, this was the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist which was a celestial technique. How could it not be able to resist the heavenly tribulation? With that, he once again condensed a brilliant fist intent, which burst out with streams of divine light and bombarded the front. This punch created a deep gully in the heavenly tribulation, which went straight into the dark clouds of the heavenly tribulation above the nine Heavens! In an instant, the dark clouds were scattered and disappeared between heaven and earth. The Heavenly Dao let out an angry roar, shaking everyone¡¯s mind. No one could understand how the Elder King could be so terrifying. Even the heavenly tribulation couldn¡¯t suppress him. One should know that that was the heavenly tribulation, which represented the power of the Heavenly Dao. Qin Chen looked at Fei Xuan and walked out step by step with a solemn expression. ¡°Do I have the right to fight you now?¡± At this moment, Fei Xuan was also shocked, and his heart was filled with countless complicated emotions. He looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. Was he still human? The other party was simply a monster! It was even more terrifying than his godfiend bloodline! Who the hell was he? Qin Chen took a step forward and covered a thousand miles, arriving in front of Fei Xuan instantly! He gathered his fist intent and struck out the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist again. It was as if the six paths of reincarnation had condensed into a supreme fist technique that was added with destruction and unleashed before Fei Xuan! Fei Xuan¡¯s eyes widened as he saw the extremely terrifying power coming. It instantly shattered Fei Xuan, and everyone was bewildered. They didn¡¯t think that the godfiend Fei Xuan would die so quickly. Everyone was shocked. Wait! When they saw that Fei Xuan¡¯s body which had been blasted into pieces simply turned into starlight, they realized that this was the other party¡¯s afterimage! As expected, Fei Xuan walked out of a crack in the void. His face was pale, and it seemed that he had paid a great price to escape from this punch. Otherwise, he would have been severely injured by the punch. Fei Xuan roared with laughter, and his entire person seemed to have gone crazy. ¡°The human Elder King indeed lives up to his reputation!¡± Then, he held his six different weapons and attacked Qin Chen. Facing this terrifying attack, Qin Chen threw out another punch that condensed into a supreme fist intent. It collided with Fei Xuan¡¯s attack with a terrifying force! Chapter 440 - 440 Fei Xuans Master 440 Fei Xuan¡¯s Master The two attacks collided, and a terrifying explosion instantly erupted. The center of the explosion was blasted into nothingness, leaving behind only chaos. The fact that they were able to fight to this extent also showed that the two of them were extraordinary. Qin Chen looked at Fei Xuan and immediately used the Moving Secret Technique to attack him again. Fei Xuan laughed. He could tell that Qin Chen was relying on his terrifying fist technique. If he could break the terrifying fist technique or launch a long-range attack, he would be able to defeat the latter. By then, Qin Chen would not be able to hurt him. In an instant, the three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan once again used his terrifying escape technique and disappeared into the void. Only his six different weapons were left, which condensed into an array and blasted toward Qin Chen. The terrifying array was blasted toward Qin Chen and he became even more solemn. The attack was much stronger than before. As expected, Fei Xuan had been hiding his strength. Seeing the six terrifying weapons turn into an array and attack him, Qin Chen immediately used his Moving Secret Technique to avoid it. There were only the other party¡¯s weapons, so there was naturally no need for him to fight them head-on. After that, Qin Chen disappeared into the void as well. The two were nowhere to be seen. Then, there was a fluctuation in the void at the same time. Everyone felt it and looked over, only to see that Qin Chen had already clashed with Fei Xuan. The three-headed and six-armed godfiend, Fei Xuan, held six different weapons and was blocking Qin Chen¡¯s fist. However, he was also injured, and his body showed signs of tearing. One could only imagine how powerful the punch was. Qin Chen was excited. As expected of a celestial spell, it had terrifying strength! To think he was able to fight above his realm. However, the godfiend Fei Xuan was clearly not an easy character to deal with either. He ruthlessly struck out a palm. The palm was smacked out by all six of his arms at the same time in an instant! In an instant, they merged into one huge palm print, blasting toward Qin Chen. Feeling the power, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but be cautious. With that, he punched out with the aura of the six paths of reincarnation, clashing with the palm print. Instantly, the distance between the two widened again as they were sent flying by the explosion. At this moment, Fei Xuan was not at a disadvantage. Compared to Qin Chen who had obtained the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, it was already shocking that he could hold on until now. If Qin Chen were to reveal the origin of the fist technique, the entire cosmic would probably be shaken. After all, it was a celestial technique. ¡°Human Elder King, I¡¯ll remember you. I¡¯ll definitely fight you again in the future, but that¡¯s all for today!¡± After that, the godfiend Fei Xuan used a secret technique to escape. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely not be Qin Chen¡¯s opponent. Moreover, the other party had a true dragon in the God Emperor realm on his side. It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t kill Qin Chen this time. If he could, he would definitely have been able to obtain the other party¡¯s extreme emperor weapon and defensive treasure. Qin Chen had also exhausted a lot of his energy and was panting heavily. The divine power in his body had been completely consumed. If the fight had continued, he would¡¯ve probably collapsed first. Fortunately, the godfiend Fei Xuan had already escaped. Qin Chen quickly swallowed the leaves of the ancient tree of life to recover his strength. After all, he knew that the other party might come back and attack him again. He could not let his guard down. No wonder the godfiend Fei Xuan was able to receive the help of so many experts from the powerful cosmic races. It turned out that it was because the other party was extremely talented. If Qin Chen did not rely on the system, he might not be his opponent. As he thought of this, he began to recover his energy. At this moment, Qin Chen had already passed the heavenly tribulation and had broken through to the God realm. Among all of them, only the big scorpion was still stuck in the Supreme Sage realm and had not broken through to the God realm. Seeing that even the Elder King had broken through, the big scorpion was very upset. It seemed that he had to seize the time to cultivate. He had the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches and leaves as well, but he had not refined them yet. Now that he saw that Qin Chen had already broken through, he naturally could not wait any longer. After repelling Fei Xuan, Qin Chen felt a little regretful that he did not manage to kill the other party. If not for the other party¡¯s terrifying secret technique, Qin Chen might have already seized the opportunity to severely injure him. The mysterious escape technique of the godfiend Fei Xuan was no small matter. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with desire. It was obvious that his opponent¡¯s secret technique was far more powerful than his Moving Secret Technique. If he could¡¯ve killed him, he might¡¯ve been able to obtain the terrifying secret skill. If he met Fei Xuan again, he must not let him escape. Otherwise, even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t tell what kind of existence Fei Xuan would become in the end. If the latter became stronger than him, he might come to take revenge. After all, his target was Qin Chen and his extreme emperor weapon. As long as he could get his hands on the extreme emperor weapon, he would do anything. When he thought of this, Qin Chen felt a sense of urgency. Although he had stepped into the God realm, he was still too weak. The true dragon could not help but sigh, ¡°That godfiend Fei Xuan really cannot be underestimated. To think he has such a terrifying secret technique.¡± Even at the last moment, the true dragon couldn¡¯t find any chance to stop the godfiend Fei Xuan. The latter had instantly torn the void and disappeared in front of them. Fei Xuan had now escaped and seemed to have suffered a serious injury. He thought that he would be able to capture the true dragon and kill Qin Chen, but he did not expect that Qin Chen would step into the God realm at the last moment. In the end, Qin Chen relied on his powerful fist technique to cross realms and fight with him. God knows where such a terrifying fist technique came from. The three-headed and six-armed Fei Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, his physical body had suffered great damage. After that, he swallowed heavenly treasures that could only be refined by godfiends to recover from his injuries. At that moment, a shadow appeared in front of the godfiend Fei Xuan. Feeling the appearance of the figure, the godfiend Fei Xuan immediately knelt with one knee on the ground and cupped his hands. ¡°Greetings, master!¡± Unexpectedly, it was Fei Xuan¡¯s master. Fei Xuan¡¯s face was filled with horror. He didn¡¯t know why his master had appeared this time. The figure said as he looked at Fei Xuan, ¡°You¡¯ve fought with that human Elder King?¡± Hearing the question from the figure in front of him, Fei Xuan nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. It seemed that this mysterious figure invoked fear in his heart. Then, the figure said, ¡°Don¡¯t provoke him for the time being. He has a true dragon with him. If everything goes as expected, the true dragon will soar to the sky and become a quasi-emperor expert.¡± Chapter 441 - 441 Head 441 Head Hearing his master¡¯s comment on Qin Chen, Fei Xuan was extremely surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the name of the human race¡¯s Elder King would have already reached his master¡¯s ears. ¡°Yes!¡± After hearing Fei Xuan¡¯s reply, the shadow disappeared. It was imaginable how terrifying the figure was since he could appear in any corner of the universe at will. His true strength was likely to be a Supreme existence. Perhaps he was an old undying being from the primordial era. After feeling that his master had left, Fei Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, his master had left. Every time he faced his master, he couldn¡¯t help but feel fear because his master was simply too cruel. Fei Xuan narrowed his eyes. He didn¡¯t expect that his master had already noticed the human race¡¯s Elder King. A trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes. He had never been defeated before. The human Elder King was the first. That being said, the fight between them this time could be considered a draw. Technically, none of them lost. If both of them went all out and used all their trump cards, it was not certain who would fall first. Fei Xuan made his preparations and immediately tore open the void to leave and search for opportunities to strengthen himself. If he didn¡¯t kill the human Elder King, his Dao heart would probably be damaged. Therefore, he had to kill the latter if he had the chance. At this moment, Qin Chen had already torn the void and left with the others. They continued to search for the remaining five places of the seven coordinates. For now, they had passed through countless corners of the star field, but they had yet to see their destinations. God knows where the rest of the places were. Qin Chen quickly made use of the time to improve his cultivation prowess as well. While doing that, he hurried on his journey and continued the search. Even the true dragon was envious because Qin Chen was very extravagant when cultivating. For example, the latter simply took a branch from the ancient tree of life and started gnawing on it. Seeing this, the true dragon was beyond envious. After a wave of fluctuations, a crack appeared in the void, and Qin Chen and the others walked out. In front of them was a broken ancient planet that was only half of its original size. This ancient planet had been floating in the universe for an unknown amount of time. It was likely on the verge of collapse. Naturally, they had come here because they had discovered something. The big scorpion was quite excited. He pointed ahead and said, ¡°Elder King, I feel some fluctuations ahead. Should we go and take a look?¡± Qin Chen nodded. Although this ancient planet was about to shatter into countless meteorites, since it was still emitting fluctuations, they had to go and take a look. When they arrived, they found out that a great battle had taken place on the ancient planet. A palm print ran through the entire ancient planet. There was also a terrifying sword energy that almost split the ancient planet in half. Seeing this, everyone gasped in their hearts. What kind of cultivation realms had those experts been in? How could their battle be so terrifying? Even an ancient planet was about to be destroyed by their fight. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t need to guess to know the answer. Perhaps only quasi-emperors could do this. Even the true dragon who was in the God Emperor realm shook its head. Its eyes were filled with shock. After all, it didn¡¯t have the combat strength to shatter a huge ancient planet. Rather, sending an attack through an ordinary ancient planet was already very difficult. Yet, the scenes before them simply looked like casual strikes from terrifying experts. As they wandered around the ancient planet, Qin Chen and the others discovered many places where traces of battles were scattered and remnants of terrifying power radiated! Just by getting close to those remnants, they already felt their hearts palpitating. If such attacks hit them, they would probably be destroyed. Holy Maiden Mu Xue said, ¡°This place seems to be a battlefield not too long ago. The traces of the battle are still very new. The most recent one should have been left within a hundred years.¡± The true dragon also nodded in agreement. It seemed that now that the world was about to fall into chaos, many terrifying old undying existences in the cosmic were reappearing. Unexpectedly, an unprecedented war had already broken out here. It was a pity that Qin Chen and the others hadn¡¯t seen the battle themselves, so they could not guess the experts¡¯ true cultivation realms, and did not even know who had fought here. The big scorpion kept searching. In his opinion, there must be some treasure on this ancient planet. Otherwise, how could it have attracted the attention of two terrifying existences to fight here? As such, he continued to scour the ancient planet that was about to collapse. He kept his eyes wide open as he carefully inspected every inch of the land. As he walked, the big scorpion suddenly let out a cry of surprise, because the head of an expert had appeared under his feet! The head¡¯s eyes were wide open in anger, and it looked as if it still had consciousness as it stared at the big scorpion! The big scorpion was terrified. Just being stared at by those eyes made him feel like he was about to fall into an abyss. With such a terrifying aura, who was this head? Why was he here? When Qin Chen and the others heard the big scorpion¡¯s cry, they hurried over only to find the expert¡¯s head as well! It was a pity that the expert¡¯s head had already lost its vitality. It was just that the expert had an obsession before death and was unwilling to die like this, which was why this terrifying will was left behind. Qin Chen and the others felt as if their souls were about to explode just by sensing this terrifying will. Then, Qin Chen quickly said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we shouldn¡¯t stay here for long.¡± He could feel that although the expert¡¯s head had lost its vitality, it still had an aura that made his heart palpitate. It was as if the owner of the head was not completely dead. There was a possibility of resurrection! Even if Qin Chen and the others made a move now, they might not be able to destroy this expert¡¯s head. If the head were to come back to life, they would be in real danger. At the thought of this, Qin Chen wanted to lead everyone away. Although the big scorpion was unwilling to give up and wanted to search the ancient planet again, he had no choice but to leave quickly. He knew that the Elder King would not speak without basis, so he left in a hurry as well. Before they managed to leave, the ancient planet suddenly changed! With a boom, it shattered into countless meteorites that scattered in all directions. Seeing this, Qin Chen was shocked. The ancient planet was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, creating ripples in the cosmic. Chapter 442 - 442 Come Back to Life 442 Come Back to Life A terrifying aura burst forth as a beam of divine light suddenly shone on the expert¡¯s head that flew out of the ancient planet! Instantly, Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo and activated his Chaotic Divine Body to its maximum! Then, he poured all of his divine power into the innate sword embryo, and it burst out with boundless emperor¡¯s might. The terrifying rules of chaos condensed in front of him. He then slashed his sword at the expert¡¯s head that was flying towards him! The expert¡¯s head that had just flown out of the ancient planet was like a meteorite, smashing toward Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and slashed out. In an instant, the sword energy reached the expert¡¯s head. The eyes of the expert¡¯s head burst with divine light. It spat out a mysterious ball of energy from its mouth and destroyed the sword energy. Then, it continued to fly toward Qin Chen and the rest. They were terrified. Could it be that the expert had been resurrected? They had clearly checked the expert¡¯s head and found that it was void of life force. How could the expert have been resurrected? Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the rest wanted to leave but realized that the void had been completely suppressed by this expert¡¯s pressure. They could not tear the void apart and leave. The entire space had been locked! The true dragon let out a furious roar. Although it was a God Emperor-realm expert, it was still no match for the owner of the head. It could sense that the owner of the head was not just in the God Emperor realm. Rather, it was extremely likely that the latter was an existence above the God Emperor realm. The true dragon transformed into its true form, a huge true dragon, with glittering scales on its body. Its eyes shot out a brilliant ray of light, and it spat out a terrifying dragon flame that enveloped the head. Unfortunately, the terrifying dragon flames couldn¡¯t melt the expert¡¯s head. Not even a single strand of hair was burnt! The expert¡¯s head simply traveled through the dragon flames and continued to fly toward the crowd. For a moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with fear. What exactly was going on? Seeing the head flying toward them, Qin Chen had no time to think. He instinctively threw out the innate sword embryo in his hand. In an instant, it turned into a stream of light and ruthlessly stabbed the expert¡¯s head! At the critical moment, the head dodges! Qin Chen crazily activated the innate sword embryo and activated the weapon God. The weapon God locked onto the head and the latter was pierced through by the innate sword embryo! One must know that this was a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. How could it not even pierce through the head of a dead man? In an instant, the innate sword embryo froze the expert¡¯s head in mid-air, rendering it unable to move. Then, the head¡¯s aura gradually weakened as if it was truly dead. Qin Chen and the others slowly approached, carefully taking precautions in case the head attacked again. After that, Qin Chen sensed that there was indeed no energy left in the head through the innate sword embryo. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out the innate sword embryo from the head. The moment he did that, the head once again began to emit terrifying fluctuations! Qin Chen was instantly frightened. Why was this happening again? He felt that the head seemed to be targeting them. There was no end to it. At this moment, the innate sword embryo had pierced a huge hole in the head. Black divine blood was flowing out of the hole, and it exuded an unparalleled pressure that made everyone tremble in fear. Then, the head disappeared into the void. Qin Chen did not know where the head had gone. At this moment, before they could even see clearly, a terrifying fluctuation appeared not far away. There was actually a figure charging over. Qin Chen and the rest were shocked. They did not know what it was that could be so terrifying. Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo in his hand and kept on alert. Finally, when the fluctuation appeared in front of them, only then did he realize it was a headless corpse! The big scorpion could not help but ask, ¡°Could this be the corpse of the head of that terrifying expert just now? This is bad. Elder King, you just poked a hole in his head, and now his body is here to settle the score with you!¡± Qin Chen was shocked as well. He did not know what was going on. Fortunately, the headless body simply passed by them and disappeared into the void. It tore the void apart and flew away. No one knew where it went. It was very likely that the corpse had gone to search for its head. What is that? To think he can still live after his head is chopped off!¡± The big scorpion was shocked. He had never heard of such a strange thing, and even the true dragon was a little bewildered. The fact that the other party was still alive despite all this meant that he was very likely to be a supreme and terrifying expert. The true dragon then patted Qin Chen¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Elder King, you¡¯ve poked a hole in that expert¡¯s head. I¡¯m afraid he will bear a grudge against you. You must be careful in the future if he comes to seek revenge.¡± When Qin Chen heard this, his face darkened. If it wasn¡¯t for him, everyone would have been in danger and might have been dead. If he hadn¡¯t inserted the innate sword embryo into the head of that expert, perhaps the head would have gone on a killing spree by now, and none of them would have survived. To think they were all saying such teasing words now. Qin Chen was quite apprehensive. After all, he had seen how powerful the other party was. The terrifying expert had not died even after being beheaded. This was enough to prove how powerful the other party was. Once such an expert bore a grudge against Qin Chen and remembered him, it was an extremely terrifying thing. It was very likely that Qin Chen would die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped. Then, he sighed heavily. How unlucky. Following this, everyone hurried to leave the place. What if the head or body of the expert came back? Qin Chen was quite anxious. After all, he had just stabbed that expert in the head. As he thought of this, Qin Chen left and disappeared. He tore open space and left with everyone. They continued to traverse the void. The scene just now was too shocking. The appearance of so many experts further illustrated the chaos in the world. It was possible that in the end, more and more great beings would be born, and the entire cosmic, as well as the nine Heavens and ten lands, would become their battlefield. Once such beings started a war, one could only imagine how much turmoil it would cause. Thinking of this, Qin Chen broke out in cold sweat. One should know that he had offended many experts. Chapter 443 - 443 Life Crystal 443 Life Crystal If Qin Chen didn¡¯t quickly become stronger, he might die at the hands of those experts. As he thought of this, Qin Chen quickly tried to find the remaining location among the seven coordinates. After Qin Chen and the rest left the shattered ancient planet, they appeared in another star field. There were countless meteorites and many ancient planets in this star field. Among the countless ancient planets, there was a dark green ancient planet that looked like it was made of jade. Such a strange ancient planet probably had many secrets. When Qin Chen and the others tore open the void and appeared, they were overjoyed to see the planet. It turned out that this was one of the ancient planets in the seven coordinates. Qin Chen was immediately excited, ¡°We¡¯ve finally found it after searching for so long!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes were also shining with golden light. He rubbed his hands excitedly. In his opinion, they were about to get rich again. He wondered how many treasures they would get. How could something that even the Divine Fire Great Emperor coveted be ordinary? Then, the big scorpion patted his chest, ¡°Elder King, let me be the vanguard. I¡¯ll scout the way for you!¡± Without waiting for Qin Chen¡¯s reply, the big scorpion spread his legs and ran, landing on the dark green ancient planet. The moment he arrived, he felt all the pores on his body relax. It was so comfortable! This ancient planet contained a great amount of life force which was now nourishing the big scorpion. The big scorpion then looked at Qin Chen and the others, who were approaching. He waved at them and said, ¡°Everyone, come quickly. There seems to be life on this ancient planet!¡± If one cultivated here, one¡¯s lifespan could definitely be extended. When everyone arrived on the dark green ancient planet, they couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. To think this place contained an extremely strong life force! Even though it was not as terrifyingly abundant as the ancient tree of life¡¯s life force, it could still be considered a paradise! No wonder the Divine Fire Great Emperor had his eyes on this place. It seemed that a treasure must be hidden here! Qin Chen then dispersed his spiritual will. His soul power had been in the God realm before his breakthrough into the God realm. After the breakthrough, it had become even more terrifying, almost reaching the peak of the God realm. He extended his spiritual will and discovered that there were many caves on the ancient planet. The caves seemed to pierce through the entire planet. It was very likely that the treasure they were looking for was inside those caves. Thinking of this, Qin Chen brought everyone to one of the caves. The cave was unfathomably deep. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. God knows what was inside. Qin Chen shot out a ball of Green Lotus Demonic Flame, instantly lighting up the cave. With that, they saw that the cave led to an unknown place and looked like a bottomless pit. Then, Qin Chen led the group into the cave. Holding the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen led the way, wondering if there would be any danger in the caves on this ancient planet. He walked in front. After Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough, his combat strength had become even more terrifying. Moreover, he had mastered the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, which was extremely terrifying. Even if he were to encounter any danger, he would be able to withstand it. The true dragon was at the back, a precaution against any possible dangers that might appear later. This made everyone feel a lot more at ease. The further into the cave they walked, the more surprised Qin Chen was. This was because the further they walked, the wider the cave became. It was as if they had come to an underground world. In this underground world, there were many crystals that were emitting light and looked extremely divine! The life force that was emitted from this dark green ancient planet should be from these crystals. As everyone was wondering what these crystals were, Yuji cried out in surprise, ¡°These are life crystals!¡± Upon seeing the crystals, Yuji recognized them. These were crystals that contained life force! The life crystal and the ancient tree of life both contain the word ¡°life¡±. Could they be related? ¡°What are life crystals?¡± Qin Chen asked. Yuji immediately explained, ¡°These crystals only exist in the cosmic, on some ancient planets. It¡¯s said that these crystals can strengthen the body. Unfortunately, over time, only people in the primordial era managed to find them. After that, it was as if the crystals had disappeared, never to be found again.¡± They had never thought to find so many life crystals underground on this planet. If they could bring these crystals out, it would definitely be a huge fortune! Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was moved. He immediately started putting away the crystals. Everyone moved to collect the crystals which were treasures. Even if they didn¡¯t need them, they could exchange these crystals for many good things. The big scorpion was the craziest. He simply broke the crystals off from the ground and threw them into his storage ring. Everywhere he went was like a wind sweeping away the clouds, leaving behind only a stretch of mess. Qin Chen and the others were speechless. After that, they ventured into the depths of the underground cave world where they felt a terrifying fluctuation. It was as if there was some kind of powerful living being. With so many life crystals hidden here, it was only given that there must be a powerful being in the cave. Though, God knows how strong it was. Qin Chen was not confident that he could defeat the other party. He walked forward slowly, step by step, wanting to see what kind of creature was there. As he walked over calmly, the pressure grew stronger, causing everyone to be shocked. Everyone was wondering what living being existed here and how it could be so terrifying. The true dragon also felt that the pressure was extremely powerful, and it spoke, ¡°Everyone, be careful. It¡¯s very likely that the living being here is already in the same realm as me.¡± What? Qin Chen and the others were extremely shocked. Could it be that a God Emperor-realm existence was here? Since even the true dragon had said so, there must be some possibility. Immediately, everyone became alert and moved forward carefully, observing the possible dangers in their surroundings. They inched forward, carefully exploring. They wanted to find out what that terrifying creature was. The other party must be extraordinary since it could exist on this ancient planet. Chapter 444 - 444 If You Dont Back Off, Die 444 If You Don¡¯t Back Off, Die Qin Chen and the rest advanced cautiously. According to the true dragon, there was a God Emperor-realm being on this ancient planet. It must be the guardian of this place. With so many life crystals, even a pig could become a spirit, let alone the creature guarding this place. It would definitely become more extraordinary and terrifying. Thinking of this, Qin Chen held his innate sword embryo in his hand and walked in front to guard against any possible danger. At this moment, their spiritual wills detected a huge creature. At the same time, the huge creature also noticed their appearance. In the blink of an eye, the two parties saw each other. This black creature that existed in the world inside the cave looked like a black rock. Its body was like a mountain, and its pair of yellow eyes shone in the darkness, shocking everyone in an instant! Sure enough, it was a God Emperor-realm creature. Qin Chen could sense that this creature was extremely terrifying and apprehension immediately arouse in his heart. At the same time, the black creature slowly walked out, causing the entire ground to shake. Even though the world inside the cave was extremely vast, it was still half occupied by this terrifying creature. ¡°If you don¡¯t back off¡­ Die!¡± The terrifying black creature spoke as it saw Qin Chen and the others. They were but intruders who wanted to take the treasures here. How could it let Qin Chen and the others succeed? As such, the creature threatened coldly. Qin Chen and the others looked at the black creature with uneasiness in their eyes. After all, this existence was too terrifying. It looked even more terrifying than a godfiend. At the same time, the true dragon also transformed back into its true form, turning into a huge true dragon. The scales on its body flickered with light, and its eyes shot out divine light. Its aura was no weaker than that of the black creature! No one knew what this black creature was. No one had ever seen or even heard of it. There were countless cosmic races, so this black creature should be an expert from one of those powerful races. A treasure guarded by a God Emperor would definitely be extremely astonishing. Qin Chen and the others were really lucky to have managed to come here this time. The terrifying black creature immediately roared at them. It opened its huge mouth, and a heaven-shaking might burst out from its bloody mouth, shaking the minds of Qin Chen and the others. The sound contained a trace of mental attack power, though it was relatively easy for Qin Chen and the others to resist such a mental attack. Then, everyone looked at the black creature. The black creature walked out step by step. It was actually a creature in the shape of a Qilin. Its body was made of black stones and was extremely huge. It looked at Qin Chen and the others, its sharp teeth shining with a cold light. It was apparent that it was not to be trifled with. ¡°I¡¯ll say this again. If you don¡¯t back off, only death awaits.¡± The black creature had been on this ancient planet for countless years. There had been experts who had barged in and reached the creature, only to be killed. In the creature¡¯s opinion, although there was a true dragon among the intruders this time, the latter might not be a match for it. After all, the true dragon was not as powerful as it was, being only at level 3 of the God Emperor realm. The creature then said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a true dragon to appear. It seems that the world¡¯s great change is about to begin.¡± At this point, the black Qilin-like creature said, ¡°You can¡¯t defeat me. You¡¯d better leave quickly. Otherwise, when we fight later, it¡¯ll be too late to save the situation.¡± The big scorpion looked at the black Qilin-like creature and spoke, ¡°I wonder which part of this being¡¯s body is more precious after we kill it.¡± To think the big scorpion was after the black Qilin-like creature, wanting to take its dead body. Hearing this, the black Qilin-like creature spoke, ¡°Seeing that you guys don¡¯t intend to leave today, then stay and fight!¡± Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect the terrifying black Qilin to be so decisive. Then, with a loud bang, the divine power in the creature¡¯s body circulated and it pounced toward Qin Chen. It struck out with its claw and tore the void apart! The entire world inside the cave was shaking as if it was going to collapse! However, since this terrifying creature had stayed here for countless years, the cave must be impregnable. At the very least, a great battle wouldn¡¯t cause this place to collapse. With that, the true dragon attacked the enemy. It was the only expert among the group who had stepped into the God Emperor realm. As such, it was also the only one who could stop the black Qilin-like creature. The true dragon let out a dragon roar, and its entire body transformed into a terrifying true dragon. It attacked fiercely, and its claws swiped at the black Qilin-like creature! The two giant claws collided, and a terrifying shockwave erupted! It seemed as if it was going to shatter the ancient planet. Such a terrifying attack shocked Qin Chen and the others. No one had thought that the black Qilin-like creature would be so terrifying that it could force the true dragon back with a single slap. One had to know that that was a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth. Yet, it was forced back by a single strike. This was enough to show how terrifying the black Qilin was. At the thought of this, Qin Chen became extremely uneasy. He poured divine power into the innate sword embryo in his hand which then unleashed a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, intimidating the black Qilin-like creature! The other party thus noticed that the human had a weapon that contained the aura of an ancient great emperor. ¡°Could this be an extreme emperor weapon?¡± The black Qilin-like creature asked. Naturally, it knew that only extreme emperor weapons could contain the aura of an ancient great emperor. The power of an extreme emperor weapon was unfathomable and the weapon possessed unparalleled power! If it was obtained by a powerful existence, it would be able to unleash terrifying power. Thinking of this, the creature was shocked. It did not expect that the opportunity to become an emperor would appear in this era. The world was in chaos, and even extreme emperor weapons had appeared in the depths of the cosmic. How could this not show that the situation had become extremely terrifying? At the thought of this, Qin Chen looked at the terrifying black Qilin-like creature and said, ¡°We came here with no other intentions. We only want the opportunities here. I hope that the senior can grant us our wish.¡± The black Qilin-like creature had, after all, already reached level 7 the God Emperor realm. It was extremely terrifying. It was worthy of being respected as a senior. Chapter 445 - 445 The Great Battle Against a God Emperor 445 The Great Battle Against a God Emperor Even in the cosmic, there weren¡¯t many powerful existences that could stop the black Qilin-like creature. This further illustrated how terrifying the creature was. When it heard of Qin Chen and the others¡¯ goal, it laughed, ¡°If you want the fortune here, you¡¯ll have to step over my dead body!¡± In the eyes of the black Qilin-like creature, even if they had three heads and six arms, they might not be able to defeat it. After all, it had already reached level 7 of the God Emperor realm. There weren¡¯t many experts in the cosmic who could be a match for it. Qin Chen and the others looked at the black Qilin-like creature. It seemed that as long as the latter was still alive, it would not let them obtain the opportunities here easily. If they wanted to obtain the fortune, they had to defeat the creature. As long as the other party was still alive, it would definitely not let them get the rare treasure. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took a step forward with the innate sword embryo in his hand! He walked to the true dragon and said, ¡°Brother dragon, I¡¯ll fight with you.¡± With that, Qin Chen took the initiative to charge out. In his opinion, the God Emperor realm was not that impressive. After all, he had the innate sword embryo. Even if he couldn¡¯t defeat this terrifying creature, he would at least be able to ensure his life¡¯s safety. Qin Chen¡¯s body was already comparable to a peak God-realm expert¡¯s body. In addition, he had the mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth from the light screen, as well as the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. How could he not withstand the attack of a God Emperor? The terrifying creature watched as Qin Chen charged over and laughed contemptuously. The latter was only a God-realm expert, so how powerful could he be with an extreme emperor weapon? An ant trying to shake a tree was simply seeking its death! Then, it struck out another claw at Qin Chen. As the terrifying claw came toward him, Qin Chen circulated the Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme. In an instant, the aura of chaos appeared in front of him, and boundless extreme emperor¡¯s might spread out. Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed out, ruthlessly landing on the claws of the black Qilin-like creature in front of him. However, the attack did not cause much damage before he was sent flying. Qin Chen smashed into the ground. Instantly, a huge pit was formed. It was extremely terrifying. The true dragon couldn¡¯t sit still at the sight of this. It let out a dragon roar and used its terrifying movement technique. Then, it used the powerful energy in its bloodline to attack the terrifying level 7 God Emperor-realm creature. As for Qin Chen, his face was now pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries. When the powerful level 7 God Emperor saw that Qin Chen was still alive, it could not help but be shocked. One had to know that it was a God Emperor-realm expert. Could this human cultivator be hiding his cultivation realm? How was he not dead? Even a Great God-realm expert might die under this attack. Yet, Qin Chen, a God-realm human, had managed to block its attack and not die. The black Qilin-like creature was shocked when it saw this. Then, it saw the true dragon charging over. The true dragon spat out a terrifying dragon flame. The terrifying creature was unafraid. A mysterious Great Path of heaven and earth seemed to appear on the surface of its body, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the dragon flames! To think it could block the dragon flames! It should be known that the dragon flame could burn even a quasi-emperor-realm expert. It was the innate flame of the true dragon race and was even more terrifying than the Green Lotus Demonic Fire! Unexpectedly, it had been blocked by this terrifying creature. The black Qilin-like creature let out a furious roar and opened its huge mouth. A terrifying spiritual attack was launched at the crowd again. One had to know that spiritual attacks had no range. Everyone on the ancient planet would be affected by this spiritual attack. The terrifying attack landed on everyone¡¯s heart. It was incomparably terrifying, and the big scorpion was knocked unconscious. The weakest among them was the big scorpion, who was only at level 7 of the Supreme Sage realm. He hadn¡¯t even broken through to the God Realm. Naturally, the true dragon was able to resist the spiritual attack easily, while Holy Maiden Mu Xue had a slightly harder time. Yuji managed to resist the attack as well, but her face was pale and she looked as if she had been severely injured. Qin Chen, on the other hand, managed to withstand the attack with his soul power, which had already reached the peak of the God realm. Otherwise, he would have ended up like the big scorpion and fainted from the shock. The big scorpion seemed fine at the moment, though. The attack should not be life-threatening. As such, the big scorpion was left to lie on the ground. Qin Chen asked Yuji to drag the big scorpion away. Otherwise, if a great battle were to break out later and the shockwaves spread over, the big scorpion would most likely be injured. After that, the terrifying black Qilin-like creature charged toward Qin Chen and the others again. The true dragon let out a furious roar when it saw that its dragon flames had been blocked. It abruptly slapped out with its claws. In an instant, it collided heavily with the other party, erupting with a terrifying fluctuation. Once again, the true dragon was forced back. Its current cultivation realm was not enough to fight against a level 7 God Emperor. The other party was, after all, too powerful, surpassing the true dragon by four levels. The gap brought about by these four levels was not something that could be made up for by using the advantage of one¡¯s bloodline. Qin Chen and the others were worried as they watched the true dragon being forced to retreat and falling into a disadvantageous position. In the end, Qin Chen decided to attack again. Today, no matter what, he had to seize the opportunity here! With that, he ruthlessly attacked. He swallowed a leaf from the ancient tree of life, then threw a punch at the creature! In the blink of an eye, Qin Chen¡¯s unparalleled fist technique, which contained the six paths of reincarnation¡¯s undying fist intent, struck the terrifying level 7 God Emperor! Qin Chen was overjoyed when he saw a wound and blood on the creature where he had hit. He did not expect that the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist could hurt the other party when even his extreme emperor weapon couldn¡¯t. It seemed that the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was indeed a celestial technique with such terrifying power. However, it consumed a lot of Qin Chen¡¯s divine power. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Before Qin Chen could remain smug for long, the enraged black Qilin-like creature clawed at him. The claw was like a mountain that could reach the sky, crushing toward Qin Chen with the force of a thousand pounds. If Qin Chen was hit, he would probably bleed profusely and his bones would be broken. Chapter 446 - 446 Weakness 446 Weakness Qin Chen did not dare to be careless and ruthlessly threw out another punch! The fist intent of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen¡¯s hand shone with a bright light as it collided with the creature¡¯s giant claw. It was a pity that Qin Chen was only an expert in the God Realm. He was simply no match for the terrifying creature at level 7 of the God Emperor realm. In an instant, he was sent flying and smashed onto the ground. Qin Chen¡¯s entire body seemed to have been severely injured. His aura was weak. Even though the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor had blocked many attacks for him, the shocking impact of the giant claw had injured his internal organs. His five viscera and six organs were already on the verge of collapsing. God knows how many bones in his body had been broken. After being smashed to the ground, Qin Chen gasped for air. It seemed that this terrifying creature was not to be trifled with. This only further proved how precious the treasure was. At this moment, the true dragon was still struggling to hold on. It could still manage to stall the other party. The terrifying creature was bewildered. What kind of fist technique did the human cultivator just use? How could it be so terrifying? Seeing that Qin Chen was so heavily injured, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the rest ran over, checking on him. At this moment, the big scorpion woke up as well. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he saw the terrifying true dragon being beaten back by the black Qilin-like creature. ¡°It seems that this place is very dangerous. Even the true dragon will die here.¡± When the true dragon heard this, it had the urge to tear the big scorpion¡¯s mouth apart. To think the big scorpion was making sarcastic remarks at this time. It was already very difficult for the true dragon to resist the terrifying black Qilin, yet the big scorpion was still saying that it may die here. Wasn¡¯t this a blow to the true dragon¡¯s Dao heart? Qin Chen gulped the Heavenly God Spring and swallowed the leaves of the ancient tree of life to quickly heal his injuries. Unfortunately, even if he wanted to recover, he would not be able to do so in an instant. He would have to wait for some time. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to observe the terrifying black Qilin-like creature. He wanted to know why it had such terrifying power. Then, he noticed that there was a gem-like crystal emitting light in the black Qilin¡¯s brow bone! That spot seemed to be the source of its power. If he could attack that spot, he should be able to cause a lot of trouble for this terrifying creature. Qin Chen instantly struggled to stand up. His body had just recovered a little, and his injuries were far from healing. However, he sent a telepathic message to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon! Do you see that gem on his brow bone? if we can break that gem, we can definitely cause some damage to him!¡± Hearing this, the true dragon looked over carefully and found that there was indeed a gem on the brow bone of the terrifying black Qilin-like creature. The gem was the size of a human fist and very small. It was not easy to notice it on the body of this huge creature. The other party¡¯s weakness was probably there as well. Every living being had a weakness, no matter how strong they were. If they could find the weakness of this terrifying creature, Qin Chen and the others might be able to defeat it. At the thought of this, Qin Chen said to the true dragon, who was at a disadvantage, ¡°Brother dragon, if you can hit the brow bone, it¡¯s very likely that this creature¡¯s strength will be greatly reduced. At that time, we might still have a way to defeat it,¡± The true dragon was well aware that all living beings had weaknesses. It was nothing more than a matter of strength. For example, the weakness of the human race was that they had vital parts like the brain, heart, and others, which were all very fragile. This meant that once a vital part was injured, a human would probably be seriously injured on the spot, and even possibly die if the injuries were heavy. Therefore, Qin Chen kept observing this terrifying creature, trying to find any possible weaknesses. At this moment, the true dragon also nodded. It heard Qin Chen¡¯s voice transmission and locked its target on the brow bone of the terrifying creature. As long as it could hit the brow bone, the true dragon believed that the other party would be severely injured soon. The black Qilin-like creature attacked the true dragon again. It stomped on the ground with terrifying force, causing the ground to tremble. Then, it abruptly charged toward the true dragon. Regardless of all else, the true dragon was still a divine beast between heaven and earth. With the blessing of its bloodline, it was not powerless to fight against this terrifying creature. Even though the true dragon was at a disadvantage, it still attacked ruthlessly, its two dragon claws slapping forward! It collided with the terrifying creature¡¯s giant claw. The mountain-like black Qilin-like creature opened its bloody mouth and let out a furious roar. It actually launched another spiritual attack, wanting to cause some trouble for the true dragon, then find the latter¡¯s weakness to kill it in one blow. This was the battle between a divine beast and a terrifying creature. It was shocking. However, this was their way of killing. The two beings were heavily injured. Some scales on the true dragon¡¯s body had been torn apart, and its true dragon blood flowed out, dripping on the ground and burning a big hole in the ground. The black Qilin-like creature was also severely injured. White bones could be seen in many places on its body, and it looked particularly tragic. At this moment, the true dragon seized the opportunity and clawed at the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s brow bone. It was extremely difficult to hit the gem at the brow bone. After all, the gem was only the size of a human fist. In contrast, the terrifying black Qilin-like creature¡¯s body was as huge as a mountain. With such a gap, it was obviously very difficult to hit the gem on its brow bone. Fortunately, the true dragon was extremely ruthless. It seized the opportunity and struck out ruthlessly! The power of this claw was terrifying! The black Qilin-like creature also clawed at the true dragon. One had to know that this terrifying claw could even tear space. From this, one could see how terrifying it was. At this moment, the true dragon¡¯s attack had already reached the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s brow bone. In an instant, the terrifying creature let out a blood-curdling screech! It immediately took a few steps back. At the same time, the true dragon was also injured and sent flying. Chapter 447 - 447 Blood Energy Erosion 447 Blood Energy Erosion There was a huge wound on the true dragon¡¯s body, so deep that its bone could be seen. This was the wound left by the terrifying black Qilin-like creature. If it had not chosen to attack the gem on its opponent¡¯s brow bone, it might not have been so badly injured. At this point, Qin Chen had already recovered. In his opinion, the power of the black Qilin-like creature was definitely related to the fist-sized gem on its forehead. So, as long as they could break the gemstone, they might be able to severely injure the other party. Qin Chen¡¯s body was almost fully recovered. He circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme. Holding the innate sword embryo, he infused all the divine power in his body into it. In an instant, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might, shattering the void in front of it! Then, Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and quickly tore the void apart. He slashed at the terrifying black Qilin-like creature with his sword, his target also the gem on the latter¡¯s brow bone. The black Qilin-like creature let out a furious roar. It had almost been severely injured just now. It hadn¡¯t expected the true dragon to be so decisive. Now, the human cultivator was charging toward the creature, and the true dragon launched another attack as well! The man and the Dragon had the same goal: The gem on the black Qilin¡¯s brow bone! In an instant, the black Qilin-like living creature felt fear. Although it was a level 7 God Emperor, it might still die. Moreover, the human and dragon were trying to break the gem on its brow bone. Taking advantage of the situation, the creature took a step back. Its huge body swayed as its claws moved forward, one of them attacking the true dragon and the other slapping toward Qin Chen! The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand ruthlessly slashed at the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s giant claw. He was instantly sent flying. At the same time, the true dragon was once again blocked and could not advance an inch further. The black Qilin-like creature couldn¡¯t help but roar. In its mind, the human cultivator was like a fly that kept causing trouble for it. It wanted to kill Qin Chen, but with the true dragon¡¯s obstruction, it could not do it. After that, Qin Chen took another step forward. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame appeared on his body and instantly swept forward! No matter what, he had to defeat this black Qilin-like creature today. Otherwise, they would be unable to obtain the treasures here. With that, a green lotus flower appeared under Qin Chen¡¯s feet. The flower was made of terrifying flames, and it swept forward with a sky full of green flames! Like a wave, it slammed toward the black Qilin-like creature. At this moment, Qin Chen was also ready. He even had the Heavenly Furnace in his hand, which he ruthlessly smashed at the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s giant claw! One must know that this was the Heavenly Furnace which contained a terrifying amount of divine power. In an instant, it exploded with a shocking power that actually weighed a thousand pounds! It did not take much effort for Qin Chen to activate the Heavenly Furnace. It slammed into the terrifying creature¡¯s body. At this point, Qin Chen once again gripped the innate sword embryo and poured his divine power into it, unleashing a heaven-piercing emperor¡¯s might! Then, he slashed his sword forward. The creature watched as the Green Lotus Demonic Flame came straight for its brow bone while Qin Chen slashed out a wave of chaotic sword energy. This was the sword energy from an extreme emperor weapon. It was so terrifying that it could even tear the void apart! At this moment, the terrifying creature simply could not make it in time to withdraw its giant claw to block the Green Lotus Demonic Flame and the sword energy. In an instant, the sword energy and the flame ruthlessly collided with the gem on the creature¡¯s brow bone. It immediately let out a blood-curdling screech. The true dragon also took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack, madly clawing at the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s head. If the attack succeeded, it would probably kill the creature in an instant. At this moment, Qin Chen was also launching attacks at this creature. He used the Moving Secret Technique. After putting away the extreme emperor weapon, he held the Heavenly Furnace instead. Then, he transformed the six blood energy pills, the method used by the bloody figure to control them, on the terrifying level 7 God Emperor! These six pills that were formed from blood energy flew out from the Heavenly Furnace and instantly turned into six rays of red light, piercing through the body of the terrifying black Qilin-like creature. No matter how powerful the creature¡¯s defense was, it couldn¡¯t withstand the blood energy of the six terrifying pills! They instantly pierced through his body. It made the level 7 God Emperor-realm creature extremely fearful. What was this? Somewhere far away, a bloody man opened his eyes and felt that his blood energy had entered the body of some powerful creature. How could this be? Weren¡¯t the human cultivators and the true dragon supposed to be dead? How did its blood energy enter the bodies of other living creatures? Qin Chen watched as the black Qilin-like creature was almost unable to hold on. Not only did the creature have to suppress the corrosion of the six streams of blood energy in its body, but it also had to continue to resist the attacks of the true dragon. One had to know that the gem on the creature¡¯s brow bone had already shattered. The fist-sized gem had shattered into countless pieces and scattered on the ground. At this moment, the true dragon became even crazier. The true dragon¡¯s attacks became increasingly frequent, and its claws pierced through the void with endless penetrating power, ruthlessly slapping the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s body! Instantly, the other party screamed in pain. No matter what, the creature had never thought that it would be in such a sorry state. One must know that it was a terrifying creature at level 7 of the God Emperor realm. Following this, the creature unleashed an angry roar that seemed to be filled with endless unwillingness. It wanted to make one last attack! It wanted to kill the true dragon even if it meant death. Unfortunately, how could the true dragon not know what this terrifying black Qilin-like creature was thinking? It wasn¡¯t going to be so stupid as to be implicated by the other party. The true dragon took a step back and blocked the terrifying attack. Then, the black Qilin-like creature seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Blood oozed out on its body! Chapter 448 - 448 Bronze Celestial Tear 448 Bronze Celestial Tear The blood energy was about to devour the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s body! If it was successfully devoured, it would no longer be itself. Instead, it would become a demonic puppet that would listen to the orders of others, and would no longer have intelligence. In other words, it would become a walking corpse. After all, becoming a demonic puppet meant being controlled by the bloody man. In other words, the bloody man could descend here through the demonic puppet. That would be a great threat to Qin Chen and the others. One should know that it hadn¡¯t been easy for Qin Chen and the others to achieve what they had done. They had been on the verge of being transformed into demonic puppets, yet they had managed to resolve the blood energy in their bodies. It would surely make the bloody man very interested. If the bloody man was allowed to descend again, Qin Chen and the others would no longer be able to avoid its blood energy. One could only imagine how terrifying the bloody man was. Just the six streams of blood energy it left behind were enough to turn a level 7 God Emperor-realm expert into a demonic puppet. If the bloody man¡¯s will were to descend on the demonic puppet, it would most likely want to search the souls of Qin Chen and the others to find out their method of resolving its blood energy. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly spoke to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon, quickly kill that fellow. Otherwise, when it turns into a demonic puppet, the bloody man might send its will here.¡± Even without Qin Chen¡¯s words, the true dragon knew what to do. It immediately struck out with its claw, which turned into a sharp divine light, trying to cut off the head of this terrifying creature. If this continued, it was very likely that the bloody man would appear in front of Qin Chen and the others. By that time, even if they were not dead due to the black creature, they would be turned into demonic puppets. After all, the bloody man could guess everything in a moment if it came. If that happened, it would definitely search their souls to find out the secret of how they had dissolved its blood energy. After that, Qin Chen and the others would definitely fall into the bloody man¡¯s hands again. It was very likely that it would refine them all into demonic puppets again. At the thought of this, Qin Chen felt a sense of urgency. He wanted to instantly shatter the body of the level 7 God Emperor-realm black Qilin-like creature. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, the terrifying black Qilin-like creature had also gone crazy. It would not allow Qin Chen to do so. After all, the creature still had consciousness. It wouldn¡¯t just let them kill it. However, it was still bewildered, wondering why the six streams of blood energy that had just entered its body had already occupied almost half of its body! If it was completely taken over, what kind of a terrifying outcome would it face? ¡°Detestable!¡± The creature angrily stepped forward and struck out with its claw again, blocking the divine light from the true dragon. However, the true dragon¡¯s divine light was also extremely terrifying. It almost cut the creature in half. A terrifying wound appeared on the black Qilin-like creature¡¯s body, making it seem like it was about to die. Following this, a terrifying aura burst forth. This black Qilin-like living being felt as though its soul was about to collapse! ¡°Just what is going on¡­¡± It instantly fell to the ground with a plop. There was a shocking fluctuation, which Qin Chen and the others felt immediately. Oh no, it was too late¡­ Qin Chen and the others looked at the black Qilin-like creature. It had already changed. Its body was now covered in spider-web-like blood streams that healed its wounds. At the same time, its eyes were no longer clear and were replaced by the color of blood. This gaze was familiar. It was the bloody man¡¯s gaze! Qin Chen and the others were immediately on guard. ¡°We¡¯re finished!¡± In the end, the terrifying bloody man still managed to descend. After it descended, it revealed a sinister smile at Qin Chen and the others, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you guys transform into demonic puppets? Could it be you have some secret? Almost nobody in this world can dissolve my blood energy. It seems that you still have many secrets, haha¡­¡± The bloody man laughed and tried to capture Qin Chen and the others to search their souls. However, how could Qin Chen and the others let the other party get its way? ¡°Run!¡± Qin Chen shouted at the crowd. Then, they ran toward the depths of the cave. The world inside the cave was extremely vast. Qin Chen and the others did not know where they were. The true dragon followed behind Qin Chen, while the big scorpion, Yuji, and Holy Maiden Mu Xue were not far from them. Along the way, Qin Chen continuously slashed behind him, sending out one wave of chaotic sword energy after another, in an attempt to stop the bloody man from chasing after them. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect to be able to check in on this ancient planet. He quickly chanted in his heart, check in! [Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in at the place left behind by the Dao Ancestor. You have received bronze celestial tears!] [Bronze Celestial Tear: Legend has it that this is a tear left by a celestial. It is very terrifying and has incredible power. Anyone hurt by this tear will turn into nothing. It is a one-time use item that possesses heaven-shaking might!] The bronze celestial tear! This was the tear of a celestial! Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened. He never thought that he would be able to obtain such a treasure from checking in. Right now, the demonic puppet, who was controlled by the bloody man, was still chasing after them. Although they had been charging forward, the other party would soon catch up to them. This was because the demonic puppet had been at level 7 of the God Emperor realm when it was alive. Judging from the speed that it was displaying, it was something that they would be able to escape. Thinking of this, Qin Chen no longer tried to escape. Instead, he turned around and stopped, staring at the terrifying demonic puppet. At this moment, the demonic puppet was already under the control of the bloody figure. It couldn¡¯t help but laugh when it saw that Qin Chen had stopped, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it better to have stopped like this earlier? If I catch up to you, you¡¯ll be better off dead¡­¡± After he finished speaking, the demonic puppet let out a heart-palpitating cackle, which was extremely evil. Everyone was very puzzled. Why did the Elder King suddenly stop? The true dragon could not help but say, ¡°Elder King, run! Seeing Qin Chen stop, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji also stopped. Their beautiful eyes were filled with worry. They did not know why Qin Chen would stay behind, but if he did, there would be no point in them running. Holy Maiden Mu Xue only cared about Qin Chen, while Yuji only had Qin Chen in her heart. Qin Chen was fearless as he watched the terrifying demonic puppet charging over. It was as if he had some trump card. This surprised the bloody man. It didn¡¯t understand why the human cultivator wasn¡¯t escaping. Did he have something to rely on? Chapter 449 - 449 The Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons Pill 449 The Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons Pill This mysterious energy caused Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul to palpitate. It seemed to target the divine soul. Following this, Qin Chen also used his Chaos Divine Ring to exterminate this energy. The Chaos Divine Ring released a golden divine light that immediately enveloped the mysterious energy. The reason why the puppet had become so powerful was probably related to the energy in the bronze mask. Qin Chen wanted to destroy the terrifying energy. The Chaos Divine Ring collided with this terrifying energy and a terrifying pressure was released. In an instant, everyone was shocked. They did not know what was going on. The true dragon was prepared. If the flame-wing beast was controlled, it would stop it and let everyone escape. ¡°What kind of power is this?¡± At this moment, Qin Chen was extremely shocked. One should know that the Chaos Divine Ring was a heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon, yet it was still unable to suppress the power. Then, this mysterious energy seemed to have retaliated and tried to break the seal of the Chaos Divine Ring. At this point, the flame-wing beast no longer had the strength to help Qin Chen. It could only watch as Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul carried a terrifying divine ring and fought against the mysterious energy. All of a sudden, the mysterious energy seemed to have discovered that the one who was controlling the divine ring¡¯s attack was Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul. It immediately turned into a ball of light and spread out, wanting to destroy Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul first. Qin Chen did not expect that the mysterious energy seemed to have consciousness. Otherwise, it would not have wanted to destroy Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul. After an unknown time, Qin Chen finally managed to control the mysterious energy after expending a huge effort. The Chaos Divine Ring began to absorb the mysterious energy. After some time, the mysterious energy was finally annihilated. The flame-wing beast¡¯s heart was filled with fear. After all, it had been so close to being controlled by this mysterious energy. At that time, it would probably become an existence similar to that puppet. When it thought of this, it was filled with fear. He had not expected Qin Chen to possess such a terrifying item as the Chaos Divine Ring. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen¡¯s intervention, the outcome of the flame-wing beast would have been very difficult to predict. As such, the flame-wing beast felt extremely grateful and cupped its hands at Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s primordial divine soul returned to his body and fell into a deep sleep. After all, if one wanted to activate the Chaos Divine Ring, one would have to pay a huge price in terms of soul power. Qin Chen took out some leaves from the ancient tree of life and let everyone refine them. The flame-wing beast was shocked. To think Qin Chen had taken out so many of these treasures. What was his background? Qin Chen had taken many leaves and branches from the ancient tree of life. If they wanted to continue their exploration, they had to be at their peaks. Therefore, Qin Chen took the leaves out and let everyone refine them to recover from their injuries. After everyone¡¯s injuries had recovered, they once again walked into the huge palace. There, they discovered a black stone placed on an altar. This black stone was exuding a deathly aura, causing everyone to be shocked. However, as Qin Chen got closer, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] To think the altar had a powerful divinity?! Qin Chen was overjoyed. After all, he could check in at any place with powerful divinity. Then, he muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully signed in to the Death Saith Stone and received the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill!] [Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill: It can make the host¡¯s physical body terrifying. It¡¯s a sacred medicine for cultivators who cultivate their physical bodies. It can also increase the host¡¯s comprehension of the Great Path of heaven and earth.] Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. It was indeed a good item. Although he could not use the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill for the time being, he would have a use for it one day. In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, a round pill appeared, emitting an indescribable fluctuation. Then, he put away the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill. As for the Death Saith Stone, it most probably had something to do with the Demon King in the tomb. Perhaps the Demon King had moved it here himself. However, to Qin Chen, it was best to stay far away from such an item since there were powerful remnants of divinity on it that might make him perish. Qin Chen then led everyone out of the place. Before leaving, the flame-wing beast took a few more glances at the Death Saith Stone. It seemed to find the terrifying aura very familiar, but it couldn¡¯t recall anything. Then, it quickly caught up with Qin Chen and the others. Now, Qin Chen had recovered and was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. As long as he did not encounter too much danger, his life should be safe. However, when Qin Chen and the others arrived at the depths of the huge palace, he suddenly felt a fatal threat in his heart. The feeling was too terrifying. Not only Qin Chen, but everyone else also felt it. Given such a situation, there might be something terrifying ahead. As Qin Chen and the others walked over, they got closer to the terrifying danger. Finally, before Qin Chen and the others could react, a figure appeared in front of them and charged over. ¡°Shit!¡± The moment Qin Chen discovered the figure, he immediately used the Moving Secret Technique to shatter the void and dodge. Unfortunately, his speed was far inferior to the figure¡¯s speed. In an instant, Qin Chen was caught up. Following this, Qin Chen felt as if his back was hit by a huge mountain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness. ¡°Elder King!¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± He only heard two vague sentences before he passed out. What was happening? Qin Chen felt as if his internal organs were about to be torn apart. He immediately took out a few leaves of the ancient tree of life from his storage ring and swallowed them. Only then did he feel much better. The leaves of the ancient tree of life carried a huge amount of life force and entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was only at this moment that Qin Chen had the chance to take a look at his surroundings. He was actually in a pile of bones, with countless more white bones under him. His heart was extremely cold. Then, Qin Chen discovered that there was a figure not far in front of him. The figure did not seem to realize that he was still alive. After all, Qin Chen was only a God-realm cultivator. Logically speaking, he should have long been dead. Chapter 450 - 450 Imposter 450 Imposter At this moment, Qin Chen felt that his body could not take it anymore. However, he had no choice but to endure it. Otherwise, he might really die here. Where was he? Where were the others? With these questions in mind, Qin Chen turned his gaze to the figure not far in front of him. It was this fellow who had brought him here. Qin Chen had never thought that he would one day be abducted by someone. Thank God that terrifying figure hadn¡¯t attacked him ruthlessly. Otherwise, even if he had the leaf of the ancient tree of life, he would not have been able to save himself in time. After a short while, Qin Chen saw that the figure not far away had moved. In a short time, it disappeared. Even Qin Chen did not know where that fellow had gone to. When Qin Chen stood up and looked around, he realized that the other party did not appear again. He was certain that the terrifying existence had left. As for where the other party had gone, Qin Chen certainly did not know. He had to take this opportunity to leave this place and find the true dragon and the others. Otherwise, when that terrifying existence returned and found out that his body was missing, it would definitely come after him. If Qin Chen was not with others at that time, there was a high possibility that he would be killed. Therefore, Qin Chen decided to find everyone first. At this moment, he suddenly sensed a terrifying fluctuation. What was going on? His current condition was extremely bad. His face was pale without a trace of blood energy. He looked as if he was one step away from death. Fortunately, the leaves of the ancient tree of life were constantly injecting life force into Qin Chen¡¯s injured body, allowing him to slowly withstand his current condition. Otherwise, he would not have been able to continue moving forward. After an unknown length of time, Qin Chen finally arrived at the place where the battle fluctuations had erupted. He saw the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, both injured, but still tenaciously fighting against the terrifying figure. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and big scorpion weren¡¯t to be outdone either. Although they couldn¡¯t rush up to fight, they could still attack from a long distance. In addition to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon¡¯s all-out counterattacks, they were ultimately able to stall the terrifying figure. Everyone only had one goal in mind: Whether dead or alive, they had to find Qin Chen. In their eyes, Qin Chen was extremely lucky. Even if he had been abducted, he should still be alive. Perhaps he was waiting for their rescue. However, no matter how hard they searched the place, they could not find Qin Chen. Finally, after God knows how long, they finally found out where this terrifying figure was hiding. As long as they could find the terrifying existence, they would naturally be able to follow the clues and find Qin Chen. The situation didn¡¯t look good now, though. Everyone had fallen into a disadvantage since the beginning of the battle. The terrifying figure was simply too horrifying. Even if the true dragon and the others attacked jointly, they weren¡¯t able to suppress the other party at this. At this point, everyone was unwilling to admit defeat in their hearts. Could it be that they couldn¡¯t even save the Elder King? The big scorpion roared angrily and charged over crazily, wanting to take care of this terrifying figure. Unexpectedly, the figure was so powerful that the big scorpion spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward after simply being hit by the aftershock of the former¡¯s attack. If this continued, it was possible that everyone would be dead before the Elder King was rescued. However, by the time everyone was ready, they realized that the terrifying figure seemed to be preparing to escape. Once again, it disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°Roar!¡± The true dragon let out a furious roar that shook the nine Heavens. It wanted to make the terrifying figure stay, but it couldn¡¯t. They could only unwillingly watch the terrifying figure disappear, still clueless as to the Elder King¡¯s whereabouts. However, this was good too. Qin Chen smiled. Now that the terrifying figure had disappeared, it would definitely find that Qin Chen¡¯s body was gone when it returned. At that time, it might even chase after them. Although Qin Chen did not know what he could do to this terrifying figure, he could at least lead the group away. Just as Qin Chen took the initiative to step forward, he suddenly stopped. That was because another Qin Chen had appeared! That person was exactly the same as Qin Chen. Even the aura fluctuations on his body were very similar! What was going on? Qin Chen was about to go mad. He had never thought that a clone of his would actually appear. Could it be the work of that terrifying figure? But what was the point of doing this? Qin Chen watched as his clone mingled with the true dragon and the others and suddenly felt like he was an extra. The fellow¡¯s appearance was very similar to his, so nobody doubted that he was not Qin Chen. No one had any suspicions. Then, the clone led everyone away, bringing them to head deeper into the palace. At this moment, they realized that it was as if they had arrived in another world. Everything was here, except that Qin Chen had disappeared yet again. Qin Chen also realized that his imposter had disappeared. What was going on? Where was the imposter? To think the imposter had actually disappeared now. Was his purpose to bring everyone here? Since that was the case, it meant that this place was definitely not ordinary. It was highly possible that there were other dangers in this place. The scene that he saw just now shocked Qin Chen quite a bit. At this moment, his injuries had almost fully recovered. When Qin Chen walked to the side, he realized that something was definitely wrong with this place. This was because he had just distanced himself from the others when he discovered that there were some tentacle-like vines in the distance that were quietly approaching the true dragon and the others. One must know that those were no ordinary items. Qin Chen suddenly felt as if he could not breathe. He could only watch as the crowd continued to move forward after being unable to find the imposter. They were walking into the trap step by step. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before everyone was completely trapped inside. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quietly followed the group. Chapter 451 - 451 Abnormality 451 Abnormality Since the situation was so abnormal, there must be something wrong! At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly stopped, causing the demonic puppet, which was being controlled by the bloody man, to feel a little suspicious. It knew that the other party would not dare to stop without any means. However, Qin Chen and the others had no way to escape now. The bloody man was able to unleash powerful strength with the level 7 God Emperor-realm demonic puppet¡¯s body. It would be a piece of cake for it to kill Qin Chen and the others. That being said, Qin Chen had the means to resolve the bloody man¡¯s blood energy. If he could do this, Qin Chen must have a lot of secrets. This made the bloody man curious. It wanted to capture Qin Chen and the others and find out how they had dispelled its blood energy. The bloody man¡¯s blood energy was related to the Great Path that it cultivated. Since it had been so easily broken by an ordinary human cultivator, the other party might have a way to restrain it. It must be known that the bloody man was immortal because of the special Great Patj it cultivated. For Qin Chen to have been able to dispel its blood energy, he posed a great hidden danger to the bloody man. Therefore, the bloody man had to take down Qin Chen and the others. It would be best if it could interrogate them to find out the latter¡¯s secret. Only after it knew the secret could it be more at ease. Qin Chen smiled and remained silent. Then, he launched a ruthless attack against the level 7 God Emperor-realm demonic puppet. A teardrop-shaped bronze piece abruptly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. Nobody knew what it was, but it was exuding such a powerful pressure that even the true dragon felt fearful. Could it be that the Elder King had some other magic item on him? Since the weapon was giving off such strong pressure, if the Elder King could use it, he might be able to resist the clone controlled by the bloody man. One had to know that once the level 7 God Emperor-realm clone controlled by the bloody man unleashed its true power, it was highly possible that they would all die. Therefore, it was very important for them to resist the bloody man and resolve their current situation. Thinking of this, Qin Chen threw out the bronze celestial tear in his hand! The bronze celestial tear burst forth with great power in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. In just an instant, a terrifying pressure seemed to spread out, which was even more terrifying than the aura of an ancient great emperor! The eyes of the bloody man¡¯s demonic puppet were filled with fear and disbelief! What was this thing that had such terrifying power? Unfortunately, it didn¡¯t have time to think about it. Its entire body turned to dust once it came into contact with the bronze celestial tear! They had never heard of such a terrifying method before. To think a drop of bronze tear could achieve such a terrifying effect! One had to know that this was a level 7 God Emperor demonic puppet. It was extremely terrifying! Even the true dragon did not have the confidence to block it. Yet, Qin Chen managed to annihilate the other party with just a drop of bronze tear. What kind of terrifying technique was this?! Qin Chen was also surprised. Everyone was guessing what kind of terrifying treasure he had in his hand that had such power. It was the legendary bronze celestial tear. Legend had it that it was a drop of a celestial¡¯s tears with bronze as its carrier. The celestial¡¯s tear was in the bronze piece. This was why the piece of bronze was in the form of a tear. Just a drop of the bronze celestial tear was enough to turn the terrifying existence into ashes. Even the bloody man¡¯s main body, which was thousands of miles away, had suffered heavy injuries when the demonic puppet was annihilated! Its heart trembled. Not only had a single tear destroyed its level 7 God Emperor demonic puppet, but it had also destroyed the clone it had descended upon! As a result, it had caused a considerable impact on the bloody man¡¯s soul. Even at this moment, it felt that there seemed to be huge karma related to it. Moreover, once it came into contact with this huge karma, things would be very troublesome for it. It would either die or be crippled! How could this be? After that, the bloody man¡¯s entire body seemed to have been pressed down on the ground. It was instantly unable to move and was severely injured. It kept coughing out blood. ¡°Interesting, interesting. I¡¯ll definitely find you!¡± It was clear that the bloody man had yet to meet its match ever since it had been freed. It had not expected to suffer such a huge loss at the hands of these humans. The bloody man had already made up its mind that it must let Qin Chen and the others die in pain. No, it couldn¡¯t let them die. It wanted them to suffer a fate worse than death! It wanted to make them regret being alive in this world! ¡°I¡¯m going to strip their bones and refine their marrows. I¡¯m going to burn their souls day and night with fire and make them suffer for a thousand years. I¡¯m going to make them regret being born in this world!¡± Thinking of this, the bloody man¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. It had been seriously injured and could only slowly recover. That drop of bronze celestial tear was too terrifying! Before the bloody man could even see what it was, its split soul and level 7 God Emperor-realm had both been destroyed at the same time. It had a strong feeling that even it would be instantly obliterated in front of the terrifying bronze tear. That was because the pressure was simply too terrifying. Even the aura of an ancient great emperor that the bloody man had felt before was not as terrifying as this. Just that teardrop-like piece of bronze had caused it such a heavy injury. It was obvious that if there was one more drop, it would still be unable to resist even if it made a move with its original body. That being said, the bloody man would not swallow its hatred. After it had fully recovered, it decided to look for Qin Chen and the others to kill them all. It would torture their souls! At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. They never thought that the level 7 God Emperor-realm demonic puppet controlled by the bloody man would be destroyed just like that. It disappeared without a trace and not even its bones were left behind. It was so terrifying that the big scorpion could not help but exclaim, ¡°Did the Elder King get some profound treasure? How could he deliver such a powerful attack? If he can deliver such an attack again, even a quasi-emperor can¡¯t stop us!¡± Qin Chen wished to have another drop of the bronze celestial tear, but unfortunately, he only had one. It was simply too wasteful to have used such a good treasure so casually. His heart ached. If there was another way to have saved the bronze celestial tear, he would¡¯ve done it without hesitation. This was because the bronze celestial tear was definitely the most powerful treasure he had ever seen. He was confident that he could kill the opponent, no matter how strong the other party was, as long as he had the bronze celestial tear. Following this, everyone gasped for breath. Chapter 452 - 452 Surrounded? 452 Surrounded? Without the pursuit of the demonic puppet controlled by the bloody man, they could finally search for the treasures left behind on this ancient planet. The treasure that the Divine Fire Great Emperor had his eyes on would definitely not be ordinary items. Those treasures would definitely not be a small matter. At the thought of this, everyone was overjoyed, because they knew that there shouldn¡¯t be anything too dangerous in this place anymore. After all, that terrifying black Qilin-like creature which had turned into a demonic puppet had been destroyed by Qin Chen¡¯s bronze celestial tear. Not even a strand of hair of the creature was left. Right now, their priority was to find the treasures in this place. Qin Chen and the others were already impatient. What kind of treasure could be guarded by a God Emperor? Treasures weren¡¯t the only things here. Even life crystals, one the most precious things in the cosmic, could be found everywhere. From this, the rarity of the opportunities hidden on this ancient planet was quite apparent. If Qin Chen and the others could obtain them, it would definitely be a great fortune! Perhaps their cultivation realm could be greatly increased in one go. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others began to search the entire underground world of the cave, extending their spiritual wills. Everyone was searching non-stop. Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will covered the entire underground world, and he suddenly felt a fluctuation. The fluctuation seemed extremely weak. Could this be the place where the rare treasure was? At the thought of this, Qin Chen transmitted a message to the crowd. Then, they rushed over to see what was emitting the fluctuations. As Qin Chen and the rest continued to move forward, they finally arrived at the place where the fluctuations were coming from. They discovered that it was actually a pool. There was a lotus flower in the pool, but it was, unfortunately, sealed. They were unable to break the seal in a short time. The seal was clearly left behind by an expert, who had even left a trace on the seal. As long as they broke the seal, the other party would notice them. At the same time, they would be locked on by the other party. It seemed that the treasure that the Divine Fire Great Emperor was looking for was indeed not an ordinary item. Just the fluctuations emitted by the seal made Qin Chen and the others feel a trace of mystery. One could only imagine how terrifying the lotus was. It was definitely a supreme treasure! At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the rest began to break the seal. Unfortunately, the seal was extremely powerful. Even though they worked together to break it, their progress was rather slow. To fully solve it would take more than ten days. Just three days later, Qin Chen and the others sensed a fluctuation. Someone was spying on them in the dark. Then, Qin Chen gave the true dragon a look. The true dragon immediately roared, and the space around it trembled! In an instant, a figure was exposed in space and fell to the ground, lying there. Qin Chen immediately moved and grabbed the man¡¯s neck. The other party¡¯s cultivation was only in the God realm, so he was not Qin Chen¡¯s match. One must know that Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation prowess had already broken through to the God realm. His body had long reached the peak of the God realm, and his soul had also reached the limit of the God realm. Therefore, no matter how terrifying this God-realm expert was, he was not Qin Chen¡¯s match. Furthermore, Qin Chen still had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, a terrifying treasure that could withstand an attack from a God Emperor. As such, the other party was simply unable to hurt him. Qin Chen quickly grasped this God-realm expert and asked, ¡°Who are you, and why are you here?¡± The God-realm expert quickly replied, ¡°Please spare me, sir. I¡¯m just a scout¡­¡± When he heard the word ¡°scout¡±, killing intent appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, ¡°Who are you scouting for?¡± The God-realm expert immediately replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know anything. I¡¯m just working for my employer. An expert has gathered a group of powerful cosmic races to work for him. He wants to find you, then capture all of you in one fell swoop!¡± Upon hearing this news, Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed. To think there were still people who wanted to deal with them in the dark. He didn¡¯t know who the other party was, and he had never heard of anyone who had such great enmity toward him. Previously, only godfiend Fei Xuan had wanted to deal with Qin Chen and the others. However, the former had already been chased away by them. Although he wasn¡¯t severely injured, the other party definitely wouldn¡¯t come looking for him in a short time. So now, who was this expert who had chosen to make a move on them? Qin Chen quickly asked, ¡°Hurry up and tell me. Who is the expert behind you?¡± The God-realm expert replied, ¡°The expert behind me is a guy wearing a mask. None of us have ever seen his true appearance, nor do we know what his name is. All of us call him Cang Lang.¡± Hearing this code name, Qin Chen was quite surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the other party would be so careful to hide their identity while dealing with Qin Chen and his group. Was the other party afraid of being recognized? There was also another possibility. The other party might be some expert who had reappeared in the world but needed to hide his identity to prevent his enemies from finding out about his whereabouts and hunting him down. However, just these two possibilities were not enough for Qin Chen and the others to deduce who Cang Lang was and why he wanted to make a move against them. He immediately asked the God-realm expert again, ¡°Where are your people?¡± The God-realm expert immediately replied, ¡°Our men have already surrounded the ancient planet. They are waiting outside. If you dare to go out, I¡¯m afraid you will be attacked.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression abruptly changed when he heard the news. He looked at the true dragon and said. ¡°We have a God Emperor realm expert. How can you be so sure that we¡¯ll die at your hands?¡± Upon hearing this, the God-realm expert shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s just impossible. You¡¯ll never be able to defeat the expert behind the scenes, Cang Lang. He also has a powerful puppet under him whose strength has already reached level 6 of the God Emperor realm.¡± Upon hearing this news, Qin Chen and the rest¡¯s expressions changed. What? A level 6 God Emperor? One should know that they had paid a great price and fought with their lives to finally kill the black Qilin-like creature that had been guarding the treasures in this place. Chapter 453 - 453 Breaking the Seal 453 Breaking the Seal Yet, in the end, the black Qilin-like creature had also turned into a demonic puppet that caused the bloody man¡¯s arrival. If Qin Chen had not obtained the bronze celestial tear, they would have been dead by now. When he thought of this, Qin Chen turned to the God-realm expert and asked, ¡°When will your people attack us? ¡± The God-realm expert spoke with great difficulty as his neck was still in Qin Chen¡¯s hands, ¡°Our people have been waiting for you to leave. Once you leave the ancient planet, we¡¯ll begin our pursuit.¡± Qin Chen nodded, ¡°So, as long as we don¡¯t go out, you won¡¯t attack us, right?¡± The God-realm expert shook his head and said, ¡°Not necessarily. I¡¯ve already been captured by you. If I don¡¯t return, they¡¯ll definitely be suspicious and think that they¡¯ve been discovered. As a result, they might change their strategy against you.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ expressions changed. However, they couldn¡¯t possibly let this God-realm fellow go, right? If they did, it would mean that Qin Chen and the others would be exposed. God knows if this God-realm expert would go out and betray them. This would also attract the other party¡¯s pursuit. However, even if they didn¡¯t let the God-realm expert go, the other party would still be able to sense their presence and kill them anyhow. At the thought of this, everyone began to feel nervous. After all, they would definitely not be able to defeat a level 6 God Emperor-realm expert. Moreover, the other party¡¯s boss, Cang Lang, was with them. It was said that Cang Lang had also come this time. His target was Qin Chen and the others. He wanted to kill them, so his strength was definitely not to be underestimated as well. At the thought of this, the hearts of Qin Chen and the others somersaulted. This time, things were really bad. They had never thought that there would be another expert who would come to deal with them and that it had already come to this. If the other party hadn¡¯t sent a God-realm expert to see what Qin Chen and the others were up to, it was very likely that they would not have known about all this. If that were the case, they would¡¯ve suffered a destructive blow when they left the ancient planet. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a chill down his spine. Then, he said to the God-realm expert, ¡°To be honest, even if we let you go now, your people won¡¯t trust you either. Instead, they will search your soul. In that case, death will be your end. Why don¡¯t you just pretend that you didn¡¯t notice us? Then, tell your people that we aren¡¯t on this planet. Tell them it seems like we have just left.¡± Upon hearing this, the God-realm expert was delighted. As long as he could return alive, it was better than having to lie. At the very least, he might not die if he returned. In contrast, if he fell into the hands of Qin Chen and the others, they would most likely kill him. Qin Chen continued, ¡°There¡¯s a condition for you to leave. You must swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will not tell anyone about us. You have to tell them what we¡¯ve discussed. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you go. If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll send you on your way now.¡± Hearing this, the God-realm expert¡¯s heart was like dead ashes. Now, Qin Chen wanted him to swear a Heavenly Dao oath. If he returned, was discovered, and had his soul searched, he would be sent on the road to death as well. But what could he do now? He could only agree and go one step at a time. Thinking of this, the God expert made a Heavenly Dao oath. Qin Chen let him go and asked him to leave as soon as possible. As for themselves, they were increasing their speed in breaking the seal. The people waiting outside were probably already impatient to make a move against them. It was very likely that they would launch an attack on them soon. The reason why Qin Chen and the others had released the God-realm expert was that if they did not, they would most likely be discovered by the other party even sooner which would cause the latter to change their strategy. At that time, the other party would surround the ancient planet. If that happened, Qin Chen and the others would not have any chance of escaping. Therefore, they had to break the seal and obtain the treasures hidden inside to make themselves stronger. Only then would they have a chance to escape. Otherwise, death would be their end. At the thought of this, Qin Chen said to the crowd, ¡°We have to break the seal as soon as possible. Even if we let that expert go, those people might not necessarily trust his words. It¡¯s very likely that they¡¯ll still search his soul. If that is the case, the other party will likely know our plans and beat us at our own game. That¡¯s why we don¡¯t have much time left. We have to break the seal as soon as possible and obtain the treasures within.¡± Only by becoming more powerful could they slowly plan their next move. Otherwise, even if the true dragon relied on its bloodline power, it might not necessarily win against a level 6 God Emperor-realm expert since it was just a level 3 God Emperor. Most importantly, even if Qin Chen and the others joined forces, they would not be able to defeat Cang Lang. It was very likely that the masked Cang Lang was a terrifying old monster who had reappeared in the world. He had chosen to hide his identity to avoid his enemies. Therefore, everyone nodded and began to crack the seal in an increasingly frenzied manner. As for what the situation was in the outside world that was stirred up, they didn¡¯t know either. They could only do their best to do what they could. All that was left was to leave it to fate and see if the heavens would help them. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the rest increased their speed to break the seal. Most of the imprints left behind by the expert on the seal were worn away by them. When they finally broke the seal, the seal left behind by the expert finally dissipated. However, before it dissipated, it emitted a wave, like a pair of eyes staring at Qin Chen and the others. All of them had been locked on by this aura. In other words, they had already entered the eyes of the expert who had set up the seal. If the other party also reappeared in the world, it was very likely that he would seek revenge on them and kill them. This was because this was a rare treasure left behind by that expert. What they were doing now was no different from snatching food from the tiger¡¯s mouth. It was only a given that the other party would be furious. Unfortunately, Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to do so. They didn¡¯t have the time or energy to care. So what if they had offended the other party? Chapter 454 - 454 Supreme Treasure Lotus 454 Supreme Treasure Lotus Qin Chen and the others had no other choice. They were now forced into a corner. After all, Cang Lang and a level 6 God Emperor-realm puppet were waiting outside for them. If they were to go out with their current strength, they would just be courting death. Therefore, they had to obtain this rare treasure to become stronger and fight for a chance of survival. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others looked at the lotus after the seal was broken. There were eight lotus seeds in this lotus. The moment the seal was broken, Qin Chen and the others felt as if they were in paradise. The refreshing aura that seeped into their hearts made them recognize the lotus¡¯s extraordinariness even more profoundly! It was definitely a rare treasure! One could only imagine the realm of a treasure guarded by a level 7 God Emperor-realm expert. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t care less about anything else now and first removed the lotus seeds, distributing one each. Qin Chen was then left with two extra lotus seeds, which he put away before looking at the lotus. He divided the lotus into five portions, one for each person. Then, they began to refine the lotus. As expected of a treasure guarded by a terrifying level 7 God Emperor realm expert. The moment Qin Chen and the others consumed the lotus seeds, they could feel the aura in their bodies becoming increasingly terrifying. In an instant, their cultivation prowesses began to rise. Qin Chen and the others felt as if a stream of energy was flowing into their limbs and bones. Soon, all of them broke through. The big scorpion became a God-realm expert, while Holy Maiden Mu Xue entered level 6 of the God realm! Yuji, on the other hand, had broken through to level 5 of the God realm. In comparison, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had advanced three levels while Yuji had advanced two levels. The true dragon¡¯s advancement was the most terrifying. After all, it had been cultivating in the lake of the ancient tree of life for countless years. As such, it had imperceptibly accumulated many reserves. Now that it had the lotus seed, its improvement was simply terrifying¡­ It broke through from level 3 of the God Emperor realm to level 6 in one fell swoop! It was similarly three levels, but it should be known that the stronger the realm, the more difficult it was to break through. Yet, the true dragon was able to break through to level 6 of the God Emperor realm. This meant that even if they were to go out now, there was an extremely high chance that they would be able to escape from the opponent¡¯s hands. Qin Chen also felt that he could no longer suppress his breakthrough. He had gone from level 1 of the God realm to level 4, instantly crossing three levels! After breaking through, Qin Chen subsequently triggered the heavenly tribulation. He left the underground world without hesitation, returning to the surface to welcome the descent of the heavenly tribulation. Due to his continuous breakthroughs, the heavenly tribulation that Qin Chen was to face became even more terrifying. The heavenly tribulation in the sky was as gloomy as dark clouds. It was as if an ancient desolate beast was awakening, bringing about a heart-palpitating pressure. Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation shook the entire ancient planet. Outside the ancient planet, there was also a lot of speculation. ¡°Who has triggered such a terrifying heavenly tribulation?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that the God Emperor-realm true dragon has broken through?¡± Cang Lang crossed his arms and stared coldly at the ancient planet. For such a terrifying heavenly tribulation to appear, the only possibility was that the true dragon had broken through. He didn¡¯t expect the true dragon¡¯s foundation to be so terrifying. If the latter was allowed to grow further, it would definitely become a quasi-emperor-realm expert. Thinking of this, the level 6 God Emperor-realm puppet behind him growled as if it was unable to suppress the bloodthirst in its heart and wanted to slaughter everyone on the ancient planet. The eyes of the masked Cang Lang were also emitting cold killing intent. Three Great God-realm experts and countless God-realm experts were behind them. As long as Cang Lang gave the order, they would rush to kill all the living beings on this ancient planet. Cang Lang laughed coldly, ¡°It seems like we can take action soon. I have to get the extreme emperor weapon from the human Elder King. With it, I can face my other nemeses. I might even be able to kill them. It¡¯s said that the human Elder King has many secrets. I won¡¯t let that true dragon off either. If I can subdue it and control its mind¡­ If I make it my mount, it will definitely be of huge help in the future!¡± One must know that this true dragon was the only divine beast left in this world. The other true dragons had already disappeared to who knows where. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest were still refining the parts of the lotus. Just one lotus seed could bring them such a huge breakthrough. They still had the lotus flower, the lotus root, and so on. If they refined all of them, they would definitely be able to make another breakthrough. At the thought of this, everyone began refining. At this moment, Qin Chen had already arrived on the surface of the ancient planet and was ready to face the heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation descended with a loud bang. It was like a pool of thunder surging, condensing into many terrifying Gods that rushed toward Qin Chen. These Gods were holding many terrifying weapons condensed from the heavenly tribulations in their hands. They attacked Qin Chen wildly. Feeling this terrifying fluctuation, Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he almost suffocated. He had never thought that the heavenly tribulation would be so terrifying. One had to know that he had only just broken through to the God realm, yet his heavenly tribulation was terrifying. Just how much did the Heavenly Dao want to kill him? It seemed that in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, Qin Chen was even more terrifying than an ancient great emperor. It just had to get rid of him. The innate sword embryo appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. He was not afraid of the Gods, who were all formed by the power of the heavenly tribulation. Then, like a God of War, he used the Moving Secret Technique while pouring his divine power into the innate sword embryo, unleashing a terrifying emperor¡¯s might. With that, the void in front of him collapsed, and Qin Chen slashed out with his sword! The chaotic sword energy killed many Gods. Qin Chen was fearless of the attacks formed by the Gods formed by the power of the heavenly tribulation. He took them head-on with his body. In an instant, the attacks that were like a thunderstorm landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was like a vast ocean that overturned a small boat! Qin Chen was instantly smacked into the ground by the huge impact, creating a deep pit that was ten thousand feet deep! Chapter 455 - 455 Thousand Rules Pearl of Life 455 Thousand Rules Pearl of Life Qin Chen lay in the middle of the put. Then, he stood up with a leap. Even though he had suffered such a huge attack, he was not injured. This was because he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, which was a treasure. Even the terrifying Heavenly tribulation could not kill him. This was the benefit brought about by the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor! Besides, even if Qin Chen did not have the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he still had the mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth that he had obtained from the light screen. They could save his life too. At the thought of this, Qin Chen smiled. He looked at the many Gods in the sky, then charged forward again. He wanted to compete with the heavens! The crowd did not see such a terrifying scene, or else they would have been so shocked that their scalps would have gone numb. They did not know that Qin Chen had transformed into such a terrifying state in such a short time. It seemed that in the chaos of this world, even if Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation did not reach a terrifying realm, he could still protect himself. Qin Chen charged toward the Gods in a frenzy. He killed a God with one strike, then stepped on the latter¡¯s crumbling body and charged at another God. The Gods all attacked Qin Chen only to be blocked by the latter with a single sword. Then, an even more terrifying attack was launched. Qin Chen put away his innate sword embryo, clenched his fists, and threw out a punch! His figure was like six undying fighting souls. The punch that he threw at the Gods in the sky exploded in an instant, killing countless Gods in succession! The Gods formed by the heavenly tribulation were killed in an instant. They disappeared from the world and turned into nothingness. No one had expected such a terrifying attack. Even the heavenly tribulation was roaring in anger as if it had been angered by Qin Chen. Seeing this, Qin Chen merely shook his head. His hands once again sent out a brilliant wave of fist light that swept forward like divine light. No one could block this undying fist intent. Even the Gods formed by the heavenly tribulation were not its opponent! The battlefield was quickly cleared, and countless Gods collapsed. It was like a scene from a painting of godfiend purgatory! Outside the ancient planet, Cang Lang felt the extraordinary fluctuations and was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect the true dragon to have such a powerful foundation and talent that it could trigger such a terrifying heavenly tribulation. In the future, the other party was bound to be a quasi-emperor and thus become a strong opponent of his. Therefore, he had to take down the true dragon this time. In this way, even if the true dragon became a quasi-emperor in the future, it would only be his help and not his enemy. Rather, the true dragon could do a lot of things for him. Cang Lang laughed out loud. Once the fluctuations stopped, it would be the time for the human cultivators to be annihilated and the true dragon to become his puppet. Qin Chen killed all the Gods in the sky, leaving only a few figures. With the innate sword embryo in his hand, Qin Chen once again used the Moving Secret Technique to travel through the void and arrived in front of the dark clouds. He swung his sword to cut the heavenly tribulation, and the dark clouds instantly scattered as if they had never been there! The will of the Heavenly Dao within the clouds let out a furious roar. It was as if it wanted to give Qin Chen endless punishment and make him pay the price. However, this was no longer possible, because Qin Chen had already passed the tribulation. Qin Chen was such a monster. He had managed to break through to level 4 of the God realm in such a short time. Now, Qin Chen was confident that he could fight against Great God-realm experts and even kill his opponent. At this moment, the others had finished refining the lotus flowers and roots in their hands, but no one chose to break through. All of them suppressed their cultivation realms and turned the energy into their endless reserves. This way, they could ensure that their current combat strength would increase even more, and at the same time, their foundations would be stronger. After Qin Chen and the rest broke through, the heavenly tribulation dispersed. The pressure of the heavenly tribulation dispersed from the ancient planet. Cang Lang and the others were ready as well. They unleashed all their auras and charged toward the dark green ancient planet, wanting to kill all life on the ancient planet and flatten it! Cang Lang wanted to kill the human Elder King and the other human cultivators to obtain the extreme emperor weapon. Then, he would capture the true dragon and turn it into a puppet, making it his mount. Qin Chen and the others also sensed that there seemed to be an endless pressure pressing down on them! There was only one possibility for such a powerful aura to appear: Cang Lang and the others must have made their move. Qin Chen quickly consolidated his realm, ready for the upcoming fierce battle. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen did not expect to be able to check in again before the battle. He immediately muttered the word ¡°check in¡± in his heart! Then, a ball of scorching divine light appeared in his hand, and within the light was a terrifying pearl. [Congratulations, host. You¡¯ve successfully checked into the land left behind by the Primordial Supreme. You¡¯ve received the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life!] [Thousand Rules Pearl of Life: A natural divine treasure born when the world was first created. It has incredible power. It contains a large amount of vitality. If one uses it to cultivate, one can quickly break through and obtain a more terrifying physical body. Every being who obtains the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life is a mighty figure whose physical body reaches the Sage level.] Qin Chen could feel that the pearl in his hand had terrifying and mysterious power. He immediately sent his spiritual will into it. Sure enough, he sensed an extremely dense life force from the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life. He had only sensed such abundant life force from the ancient tree of life. But now, the pearl in his hand was even more terrifying. The aura that it emitted was even more mysterious and profound. It seemed to allow him to sense the Great Path of Life within, thus making his physical body even more terrifying. If Qin Chen were to use the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life to cultivate, perhaps it wouldn¡¯t take long for his body to reach an unimaginable realm. At that time, even if he took off the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he would be able to withstand the attacks of a Great God-realm expert. Pondering, Qin Chen put away the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life. Now was not the time to cultivate. He was about to face a huge battle. However, he didn¡¯t expect that even after he kept the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life, it still continued to emit life force to nourish his body. In other words, even if Qin Chen was on the verge of death, he would slowly recover. Chapter 456 - 456 Huge Battle Starts 456 Huge Battle Starts At this moment, Qin Chen had already passed the heavenly tribulation and became a true level 4 God realm cultivator. He had also just obtained the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life, which could make his body increasingly terrifying. Outside of the ancient planet, Cang Lang and the others charged toward the ancient planet when they realized that the heavenly tribulation had dissipated. Their target was Qin Chen and the others. Now that the heavenly tribulation had passed, it was likely that whoever had experienced the tribulation would be severely injured and could not recover in a short time. In that case, they would definitely have the upper hand if they attacked at this time. With that thought in mind, many experts followed behind Cang Lang and launched their attacks on the ancient planet. They could not wait to kill all the living beings on it. After all, the only thing that these experts cared about was the generous reward that Cang Lang had offered. They were only working for Cang Lang because the reward was too generous, to the point where they could not refuse. No one knew exactly how powerful Cang Lang was. However, the fact that he had a terrifying level 6 God Emperor puppet meant that he was definitely not weak either. The people on the ancient planet felt a terrifying aura coming at them. It must be that Cang Lang couldn¡¯t wait any longer and wanted to kill them. Everyone flew out of the underground world and onto the surface of the ancient planet. At this moment, everyone¡¯s strength had increased to some extent. The true dragon had even broken through to level 6 of the God Emperor realm. In other words, they were finally able to fight to a draw against the level 6 God Emperor puppet. The only thing that Qin Chen and the others needed to worry about was the remaining experts, and among them, Cang Lang was one they had to place the most importance on. Cang Lang was, after all, the mastermind behind the scenes. He was definitely not weak. According to Qin Chen¡¯s speculation, the other party might be an old undying monster who had just reappeared in this world. Everyone was extremely shocked because this aura was too terrifying. They could clearly see that there was not only a level 6 God Emperor puppet behind Cang Lang, but also a few Great God-realm experts and countless God-realm experts. Such a powerful force could probably walk unrestrained on the current nine Heavens and ten lands. Cang Lang looked at Qin Chen and the rest, then ordered the puppet, ¡°Go!¡± With that, the level 6 God Emperor puppet immediately charged forward. The true dragon also unleashed its strength at this moment. Its aura had already risen to level 6 of the God Emperor realm! A fearsome dragon¡¯s might emanated from its body as it charged toward the terrifying puppet. The true dragon was no longer afraid of the puppet. In its opinion, the puppet was just an inanimate object and could not threaten it. Regardless of all else, it was still a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth, with an incomparably noble bloodline. How could it be defeated by a puppet? Within the same realm, no other being could suppress the true dragon. The true dragon went all out and spat out a stream of dragon flames that burned the puppet like a fire dragon. However, the puppet did not move and allowed the terrifying dragon flames to burn its body. In the flames, its body was not damaged at all. They didn¡¯t expect the puppet to have such terrifying defensive power. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. They didn¡¯t know how this terrifying existence could have such a defensive power. God knows what material this puppet was made of that it could even withstand the dragon flames. At this moment, the other Great God-realm experts charged toward Qin Chen and the others, and the God-realm experts followed closely behind. Seeing the other party charge over aggressively, Qin Chen and the others released their auras. Instantly, many fluctuations burst out, causing the surrounding space to become unstable and slightly distorted. Then, Qin Chen charged out with the innate sword embryo in his hand. He immediately infused his divine power into it, and a shocking emperor¡¯s might burst out, suppressing whoever was in front! The terrifying emperor¡¯s might suppressed the Great Gods and Gods, making them feel terrified. As expected of an extreme emperor weapon! One must know that this was the weapon of an ancient great emperor, which made it extremely powerful and unpredictable. Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and arrived before these experts in an instant. At this point, his Chaotic Divine Body had already been activated to the maximum, and the order of chaos appeared around him. Then, he slashed out with his sword, causing all the God-realm cultivators to cough up blood and retreat. The Great God-realm experts, on the other hand, charged over madly. Qin Chen slashed out with his sword. He was not afraid of his opponents at all. So what if they were experts in the Great God realm? So what if they were one realm higher than him? Although he was only at level 4 of the God realm, he was not to be trifled with either. Then, he slashed again, and fear appeared in the eyes of the Great God-realm experts. This was because they could sense that the fluctuations were simply too terrifying. They had not expected this human cultivator to possess such power. However, at this moment, they had no choice but to continue their attacks. With that, they launched their attacks on Qin Chen! Qin Chen laughed and attacked again with his sword, attempting to deal with these Great God-realm experts altogether. After that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, big scorpion, and the others also rushed forward to help Qin Chen attack. Qin Chen¡¯s sword cut off the arm of a Great God-realm expert, which frightened the other party. Blood instantly spurted out, and the other party looked as if he was seriously injured. At this moment, the Great God-realm had thoughts of retreating. After all, no matter how high the reward that Cang Lang offered, he had to be alive to take it. Otherwise, he would probably die here. Thinking of this, the Great God-realm expert grabbed his severed arm and tore space to escape. But following this, he was hit by a terrifying attack and instantly turned into dust, disappearing into the void. It was Cang Lang¡¯s attack. He didn¡¯t expect the cultivators he recruited to be so timid and afraid of death. In that case, they should just die. Then, Cang Lang began to observe Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen had unleashed all his strength. He did not expect Cang Lang to be so cruel that he would mercilessly kill even his people! Everyone gasped. The others who saw this scene were extremely fearful. They did not expect that Cang Lang would attack them as well. Chapter 457 - 457 The Vicious Cang Lang 457 The Vicious Cang Lang Cang Lang laughed. Under the mask, his voice was cold, ¡°If you can¡¯t even kill these guys, then you¡¯re better off dead.¡± Hearing this, the many Great Gods and Gods were all terrified. At this point, they could only go all out and kill Qin Chen. Otherwise, they would either be killed by Qin Chen or Cang Lang, the latter if they tried to escape. It seemed that Cang Lang was no ordinary person. He was so ruthless and decisive that he even killed his people so ruthlessly. Qin Chen was fearless. He put away his innate sword embryo and a shocking fist light burst out from his hand. It emitted a brilliant divine light and blasted toward the experts in front of him! In an instant, the imperishable fist intent of the six paths of reincarnation burst out from Qin Chen¡¯s body! The Great God-realm expert in front of him couldn¡¯t resist at all. He was instantly severely injured and fell to the ground after being hit by the punch. He was on the verge of death. A large hole had appeared in his chest, and blood was gushing out! The other two Great God-realm cultivators were highly fearful. They didn¡¯t expect that a mere level 4 God realm cultivator would have such terrifying power that could threaten them. One must know that the person who had just been severely injured was a Great God-realm expert. Where did this level 4 God realm cultivator come from? How could he have such terrifying combat strength? In their opinion, such combat strength was simply too shocking. They had never even heard of it before. What kind of person could achieve this? Qin Chen was doing the unthinkable: fighting above his realm and killing his enemies as if they were dogs. The big scorpion and the others were pumped when they saw this. They did not expect the Elder King to have become so powerful that he could even deal with Great God-realm experts. The remaining two Great God-realm experts immediately prepared to attack Qin Chen by surrounding him, one in front and one behind. Seeing this, Yuji was very worried. On the other side, Holy Maiden Mu Xue flew forward to help Qin Chen. She was a Great God-realm existence, to begin with, and had broken through to level 6 of the Great God realm after consuming the Lotus seed. Now, she could finally help Qin Chen, and she unleashed shocking power. While fighting, one of the Great God-realm experts from a powerful cosmic race saw Holy Maiden Mu Xue coming over to attack him. His eyes were filled with rage. He was, after all, an existence at level 8 of the Great God realm. How could a cultivator at level 6 of the Great God realm dare to fight him? Wasn¡¯t this courting death? Was she tired of living? He didn¡¯t believe that this female human cultivator could be more terrifying than the human Elder King! The other Great God-realm existence attacked madly, trying to kill Qin Chen. However, at this moment, Qin Chen was fearless. He allowed the attack to hit his body, sending him smashing into the ground. No one had expected that Qin Chen would be trounced! Only Yuji, the big scorpion, and the others knew that Qin Chen was completely fine. What could the attacks of a Great God-realm expert do to him? They could not hurt Qin Chen at all! Following this, Qin Chen got up from the ground and used the Moving Secret Technique again to attack the Great God-realm expert. What? To think he was uninjured after taking a full-force blow from him! The Great God-realm expert was shocked. He had never heard of anyone having such a terrifying defense that could withstand his attack and remain unscathed. What kind of monster was the other party? Then, he saw Qin Chen charging at him. At this moment, Qin Chen was holding the innate sword embryo and slashed out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might! In an instant, the terrifying chaotic sword energy enveloped the Great God-realm expert, making him feel such terror as if he was falling into an abyss. His soul was trembling, and his guts were splitting apart from the fright! ¡°Am I going to die?¡± The Great God-realm expert hurriedly slashed out a sword to defend himself, but unfortunately, how could he withstand the chaotic sword energy? In an instant, his body was cut into two by the sword. He died a tragic death instantly, and his corpse fell to the ground. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t kill him, the latter¡¯s end would be Qin Chen and the others¡¯ outcome instead. At that moment, the God-realm experts were being dealt with by the big scorpion and Yuji. The two of them had swallowed the lotus seed but suppressed their breakthrough. Their current combat power was also extremely terrifying. It was not a problem for them to deal with these God experts. With that, they attacked crazily and suppressed these God-realm experts. At the same time, Cang Lang was no longer paying attention to the battle between Qin Chen and the rest. Instead, he was watching the battle between the true dragon and his level 6 God Emperor puppet. The true dragon was already a level 6 God Emperor expert, in the same realm as the puppet. At this moment, the puppet was at a disadvantage and was being pushed back. It was no match for the true dragon at all. One must know that a true dragon¡¯s strength was incomparably terrifying. With the power of its terrifying bloodline, it was long undefeatable among its peers in the same realm. It did not take this puppet seriously at all. Cang Lang smiled faintly, ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡± He wanted to see what the true dragon¡¯s limit was. To be able to trigger such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, it showed that this true dragon must have supreme reserves and was very likely to become a quasi-emperor. However, what Cang Lang did not know was that it was not the true dragon that had triggered the heavenly tribulation, but Qin Chen. If he knew, he would definitely be speechless. At this moment, Qin Chen had already gone all out and killed the Great God-realm expert in front of him. Then, he looked at the Great God-realm expert that Holy Maiden Mu Xue was holding back. He attacked crazily, wanting to kill the other party. To be able to do this already showed how terrifying Qin Chen¡¯s talent was. Unknowingly, his strength had actually surpassed Holy Maiden Mu Xue. Qin Chen put away his innate sword embryo and threw out another punch. This punch was condensed with the six paths¡¯ undying will, like the appearance of an unparalleled God of War! The fist radiance quickly landed on the Great God-realm expert, causing him to spit out blood and suffer serious injuries while being sent underground. One must know that the Great God-realm expert did not have the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. How could he withstand such a terrifying attack? No matter what, the other party was just an ordinary Great God-realm cultivator and not some monster. He couldn¡¯t resist. The fist technique was one of Qin Chen¡¯s celestial techniques that had long disappeared from the world. Thanks to the system, Qin Chen managed to learn the technique and bring it back to the world. Chapter 458 - 458 Void Shift 458 Void Shift It was hard to imagine how terrifying the celestials of this world were. Just a single punch could have such terrifying power. After that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue charged out and killed the Great God-realm expert. The situation changed in an instant, and the scales of victory were leaning towards Qin Chen. However, Cang Lang had not made a move yet. He had been observing in the dark, and it seemed that he did not care how many people died. In fact, no one knew how terrifying this guy was. Qin Chen looked at Cang Lang, who also realized that the former was sizing him up. What was the meaning of this? Even if Qin Chen had some tricks up his sleeve, did he want to fight him? After all, this was Cang Lang they were talking about. According to Qin Chen¡¯s judgment, the masked Cang Lang must be an old monster with terrifying strength. Although they had defeated many of the other party¡¯s minions, it was of no use. If they wanted to escape, they had to get past Cang Lang. Only by defeating Cang Lang could they survive. Otherwise, only death would await them. At the thought of this, Qin Chen attacked madly. His Chaotic Divine Body was activated to the extreme as he attacked his opponent. At the same time, Holy Maiden Mu Xue did not just stand by and watch. She immediately slashed out several attacks toward Cang Lang. Cang Lang simply burst into laughter, ¡°I haven¡¯t fought in a long time. You should be proud to die by my hands.¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s attacks were all blocked. Qin Chen unleashed his strength and attacked Cang Lang, but was intimidated by the other party¡¯s aura. What kind of aura was this? It was so energetic that there left no room for doubt about the other party¡¯s strength. It was very likely that Cang Lang was even more terrifying than Qin Chen had imagined. The other party clearly had no intention of letting him go. Cang Lang then attacked and said coldly under his mask, ¡°Hand over your extreme emperor weapon as soon as possible, and I¡¯ll leave you with an intact corpse.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen could not help but explode with anger. Even if the other party was an extremely powerful existence, he couldn¡¯t choose to retreat. He had to fight! Then, Qin Chen swung his fist again, using the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist! The dazzling fist intent instantly burst out, and the terrifying attack landed on Cang Lang¡¯s body. In an instant, Cang Lang was quite surprised, though his face was still covered with a mask. He did not expect Qin Chen¡¯s punch to be so terrifying. He was no ordinary person, yet he was still forced to take half a step back due to the punch. From this, one could see how terrifying this fist technique was! This kid seemed to have a lot of secrets. ¡°Hand over this fist technique and I promise to leave your corpse intact. I¡¯ll also let you die quickly without suffering.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was enraged. What did the other party take him as? With that, Qin Chen pulled out his innate sword embryo and slashed out beams of chaotic sword energy. Unfortunately, Cang Lang arrived in front of Qin Chen in the blink of an eye and simply kicked Qin Chen¡¯s chest. Qin Chen¡¯s chest felt as if it had been hit by a terrifying mountain. In an instant, he was sent flying for an unknown distance and smashed hard into the ground. He seemed to have instantly lost consciousness. Qin Chen opened his eyes with great difficulty. He did not expect Cang Lang to be so terrifying. He then felt that his injuries were quite serious. If not for the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he would have died from this kick. Cang Lang said, ¡°You are very strong. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯ll ultimately die by my hands.¡± Cang Lang¡¯s unfathomable combat strength made everyone feel suffocated. He was simply too powerful, even Qin Chen felt a sense of powerlessness. How could they defeat such a powerful enemy? At this moment, the true dragon had finally made some progress. It struck with all its might and tore the chest of the level 6 God Emperor puppet apart with a single claw! In an instant, it had heavily injured his opponent. It seemed that the level 6 God Emperor puppet would have a hard time unleashing its combat strength at this point. Yet, even after losing a level 6 God Emperor puppet, Cang Lang remained emotionless, as if he did not care at all. Seeing this, everyone¡¯s heart began to tense up. Who was Cang Lang? how could he be so terrifying? Qin Chen could feel his body being constantly repaired. This was the terrifying healing power of the Thousand Rules Life Pearl, which allowed his injuries to heal continuously. Then, Qin Chen stood up again. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still stared at Cang Lang and said, ¡°If you want the innate sword embryo, then come and get it yourself.¡± Then, he charged at Cang Lang again! The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist struck out again with terrifying power, making Cang Lang more and more interested in Qin Chen. Where did this human cultivator come from? To think he had such a terrifying secret technique. If he could master such a terrifying fist technique, his combat strength would definitely rise to another realm. At this moment, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo with his other hand and poured his divine power into it. A terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might spread out and pressed forward! Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed down, and the void in the world seemed to be shattered. It was like a silver sword that pierced through the galaxy, slashing toward Cang Lang! Cang Lang¡¯s face under the mask was still expressionless. In his opinion, an attack on this realm was far from enough to hurt him and make him feel threatened. He simply formed a seal with his hands and sent out an attack, instantly sending Qin Chen flying. It must be known that this was not an ordinary attack. In an instant, Qin Chen felt as if he was about to die. The fear that was akin to falling into an abyss was just too strong. In an instant, Qin Chen was sent flying, once again crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit that was ten thousand miles wide. Qin Chen lay in the deep pit, his injuries too severe. The attack just now had almost destroyed all the meridians in his body. It was just too terrifying. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen quickly checked in to the ancient planet. [Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked into the land left behind by the Primordial Supreme. You have obtained the Void Shift!] [Void Shift: Created by an unparalleled, terrifying existence. The host will have the power to instantly teleport. The technique is incomparably terrifying and can even be used when the void is sealed.] Chapter 459 - 459 Recuperate 459 Recuperate Qin Chen did not expect to get Void Shift through checking in! In other words, he only needed a single thought to leave this ancient planet and go somewhere else. Qin Chen was still apprehensive, wondering if Cang Lang would be able to detect the technique. However, he could not hold on any longer, so he could only give it a try. The true dragon was now being targeted by Cang Lang and was instantly sent flying. A deep bloody wound appeared on its body, and it looked like it had been seriously injured! With just a single strike, the other party had severely injured the level 6 God Emperor-realm true dragon! Moreover, the true dragon was no ordinary God Emperor-realm expert. It was a divine beast between heaven and earth, a terrifying true dragon! To have been so easily injured, one could only imagine how terrifying Cang Lang was. If he didn¡¯t want to keep Qin Chen and the others alive, they would have all died by now. At this moment, the true dragon was hit by another punch. Its huge body turned into human form and smashed into Qin Chen¡¯s side. Qin Chen instantly grabbed the true dragon¡¯s hand. Then, the two disappeared and reappeared next to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion. Following this, Cang Lang was enraged, ¡°How is this possible?!¡± He had clearly seen that Qin Chen and the others were still around a moment ago. Yet, a second later, they had disappeared without a trace. Even the fluctuations their bodies emitted were gone. What was going on? Cang Lang was so furious that he wanted to butcher someone. ¡°This is impossible! Where did they go?!¡± Cang Lang had never heard of such a strange technique that could allow one to disappear from his sight. Even tearing the void would not have such a terrifying effect. Cang Lang was about to go crazy. He had paid a huge price to get such an opportunity, but now Qin Chen and the others had managed to escape. How could he be willing to accept this? How could he come to terms with the situation? At this moment, Qin Chen was on the verge of fainting. As soon as he used the Void Shift, he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. With that, he knelt on the ground and fell. Fortunately, the true dragon caught him and prevented him from falling. ¡°What just happened?¡± No one had expected that they would suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar piece of the void. At this moment, they were on a huge meteorite. Qin Chen was already unconscious and looked like he was seriously injured. Qin Chen had the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life in his body, so he still wouldn¡¯t die despite his heavy injuries. At this moment, he had exhausted all the divine power in his body. He could not hold on any longer. Coupled with his terrible injuries, his face was extremely pale. Activating the Void Shift was even more terrifying than using the Chaos Divine Ring. After all, the former had drained the divine power in his body instantly. One should know that Qin Chen was just a level 4 God-realm expert. It was already very terrifying for him to be able to hold on until now. In the entire cosmic, nine Heavens, and ten lands, there was probably no one more terrifying than him. He was simply too monstrous. Only after being brought to the meteorite of this star field did everyone come back to their senses. Then, they carried Qin Chen and tore apart space to escape. They knew that they shouldn¡¯t stay here for long. If they did, what would they do if the terrifying Cang Lang chased after them? At that time, only death would await them. After all, that terrifying Cang Lang was an existence that was already above the God Emperor realm! With just a casual strike, he had severely injured the level 6 God Emperor realm true dragon. If he wanted to, he could probably kill the true dragon with just one strike. At the thought of this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with fear. Why would such a powerful person target them? Finally, they stopped on an ancient planet. For now, Cang Lang should not be able to find them since they had already arrived on another planet. This area of the star field was littered with many ancient planets, and many of them had life. Qin Chen and the others could rest well on this ancient planet, and Cang Lang would most probably not come looking for them. The group brought the unconscious Qin Chen to an ancient planet where there were many powerful existences. Those powerful existences were all experts from a powerful cosmic race. To be able to survive until today, they obviously had a lot of power behind them. If Qin Chen and the others dared to act recklessly, both sides would probably end up suffering. Fortunately, the other party did not have any intention of attacking Qin Chen and the others at all, because the aura of the true dragon was too terrifying. To think it was a God Emperor-realm expert! For a moment, the experts of the powerful cosmic race on the ancient planet did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they were afraid that this God Emperor-realm expert might attack them. If that happened, they would be finished. What they didn¡¯t know was that the true dragon had been severely injured, and it was currently only left with less than half of his original combat power. If they really fought, it would be at a disadvantage instead. Therefore, the true dragon kept a low profile. It found a lake island on the ancient planet and stayed there to recuperate. Qin Chen was also lying on the island. All of them were injured, but most importantly, they had actually managed to escape from the hands of Cang Lang. They had no idea how Qin Chen managed to do it. One should know that the other party was an existence that was above the God Emperor realm. Logically speaking, even if they were to tear the void apart, they would still be tracked down by the other party and chased after. Yet, even now, the terrifying Cang Lang had not chased after them. Could it be that he had given up on them? Their top priority now was to recover from their injuries as soon as possible, though. After all, they didn¡¯t know what kind of danger they would face next. Besides, there was a very powerful cosmic race that had many Great God-realm cultivators on this ancient planet. One could imagine that the other party might still have a trump card that could threaten even God Emperors. Thinking of this, everyone stopped thinking about other things. Instead, they seized every moment to heal their injuries and recover as soon as possible. No one knew what kind of danger they would face next. Although their cultivation realms had improved a lot, they had been forced to barely escape from death time and time again. It seemed that the dangers in the cosmic could not be underestimated. They were really lucky to have survived. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s internal injuries were being nourished by the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life. The enormous life force within the pearl was slowly repairing his meridians. Chapter 460 - 460 The King 460 The King-kong Race At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s internal injuries were being healed. Although the progress was very slow, he should be able to completely recover in a short time. Due to the injuries he had suffered from the battle with Cang Lang, his body had been severely injured. Many of his meridians had been torn apart, and his blood energy was drying up. If it weren¡¯t for the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life preserving Qin Chen¡¯s last breath, he might have already died. If it were any other God-realm expert, they would have long been dead. Only Qin Chen, who possessed the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life, could survive tenaciously. Originally, the terrifying Cang Lang wanted to first severely injure Qin Chen and search his soul to take away all of the latter¡¯s treasures, including his supreme and terrifying fist technique. If he could obtain the technique through soul searching, Qin Chen would then no longer be of any use to him and could just be killed directly. Qin Chen had brought many surprises to Cang Lang. Unfortunately, the latter hadn¡¯t managed to keep even a single one of them. Rather, he had even lost a level 6 God Emperor-realm puppet. The other party was most probably extremely furious at this moment. However, it had nothing to do with Qin Chen and the others. They were currently struggling to survive and hiding on an ancient planet. God knows if there would be any more experts who were targeting Qin Chen and the others and wanted to kill them. If Qin Chen had not managed to get Void Shift through checking in this time, it was very likely that they would not have been able to escape. After all, Cang Lang was a terrifying existence that surpassed the God Emperor realm. How could Qin Chen and the others survive such a terrifying being¡¯s attack? At this moment, Qin Chen was very weak. However, he quickly recovered from the terrible injuries. If this continued, no one knew when they would be able to return to their peak condition. Now, everyone was injured. If any danger came again, they would have to pay a painful price. At the thought of this, everyone felt some regret in their hearts. If they could¡¯ve avoided Cang Lang, they would not have had to make enemies with the other party. Given what had happened, it was equivalent to Qin Chen having made another enemy. When the world was truly plunged into chaos, it was very likely that Qin Chen would be hunted down by many. It was hard to say if he would survive. After all, Qin Chen had too many enemies. Even the big scorpion was worried about him. After half a month, Qin Chen finally woke up. He opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place. In this unfamiliar place were many terrifying auras. However, the terrifying auras did not approach them. ¡°Where is this?¡± He shook his head. His mind was a complete mess and just blank. He could not remember anything. He only knew that he had used the Void Shift at the last moment and everyone had left. Had he succeeded? One should know that Cang Lang was a terrifying existence that had surpassed the God Emperor realm. When Qin Chen recalled the other party¡¯s strength, he still felt a lingering fear. Thank God they had survived and seemed to have escaped from the terrifying Cang Lang. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed and his heart finally settled down. He closed his eyes again and quietly rested. Qin Chen could feel that his body had almost recovered. Many of his meridians had been reconnected, and even his blood energy was now abundant once more. This was all thanks to the Thousand Rules Pearl of Life. Otherwise, God knows if he could have survived. When Qin Cheng lost consciousness, he knew that his injuries were extremely serious. If he had been an ordinary God-realm expert, he would have long died. He had only managed to survive until now thanks to the Pearl of Life. At this moment, Qin Chen felt the changes in his body and realized that his Chaotic Divine Body had become even more terrifying. Could it be that he could only become more powerful through fighting? One should know that Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was a peerless Spirit Body in the world. Then, Qin Chen stood up. At this point, he had almost recovered, and all that was left was to slowly recuperate. He then walked out. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and the rest were still cultivating. Their injuries had already recovered since they were not as serious. When they saw that Qin Chen had woken up, they were quite surprised, ¡°Elder King, you¡¯re awake!¡± Qin Chen nodded. Everyone told Qin Chen everything that had happened. After all, many things happened while he was unconscious. For example, they learned that the powerful cosmic race on this ancient planet was called the king-kong race. Their bodies were similar to that of humans, but they were burlier and taller than humans. The cultivation techniques they cultivated were also extremely powerful. Otherwise, they would have died in this cosmic. The king-kong race had communicated with them before and the two parties had exchanged some cultivation resources with each other. It turned out that there was a sealed forbidden ground on this ancient planet. It was said that this forbidden ground was sealing a devil, the work of the king-kong race¡¯s ancestor. After countless years, the seal had loosened. Something was probably going to happen soon. The king-kong race had invited the true dragon to cooperate with them and help them destroy the sealed devil. Otherwise, it would shake the foundation of the king-kong race. After all, the king-kong race¡¯s ancestor was no longer in this world. If the devil were to be released, many of their clansmen would be dead or injured. There was even a possibility that this ancient planet would be turned into the devil¡¯s planet. Qin Chen was very excited. He did not expect that there would be a sealed forbidden ground on this ancient planet. In other words, he might be able to check in there. Generally speaking, forbidden grounds where devils were sealed had powerful divinity remnants. With this, he could become even more powerful. This time, after being attacked by the terrifying Cang Lang, Qin Chen felt an urgent sense of danger. If he didn¡¯t become stronger, it was very likely that the next time would be his death. God knows how many people were watching him in the dark. When he thought of this, Qin Chen said, ¡°Agree to their request.¡± He had already decided that he would personally take action and kill that devil. The king-kong race offered generous rewards for Qin Chen and the others to help. After all, there was a true dragon among them. A God Emperor-realm true dragon was incomparably powerful. Chapter 461 - 461 The Devils Reappearance 461 The Devil¡¯s Reappearance If the true dragon was willing to take action, the matter could probably be very easily solved. After all, the true dragon was a God Emperor-realm expert. Currently, the king-kong race no longer had any God Emperor-realm experts. Only Great God-realm experts were left, making it impossible for the race to kill that devil. Therefore, they could only rely on the strength of Qin Chen and the others. After Qin Chen woke up, he happily agreed to this request. He and the others then followed the members of the king-kong race and met the latter¡¯s race leader. The race leader of the king-kong race looked like a skinny old man, though his body was still quite burly compared to that of a human. He was also a Great God-realm expert, but his life potential had been exhausted and would thus probably be unable to break through again in this lifetime. Very quickly, Qin Chen and the others reached an agreement with the other party. As long as they were willing to help, the king-kong race would offer a very generous reward as thanks! Qin Chen and the others agreed to the request for cooperation very quickly. Following this, they went to the forbidden grounds of the king-kong race together. The forbidden ground of the king-kong race was emitting powerful fluctuations, and above it was a large amount of black gas that was rising. It looked like the land of the netherworld. God knows how terrifying the devil imprisoned here was. According to what the elderly race leader of the king-kong race had said, the strongest of the sealed devils here was at level 3 of the God Emperor realm. After being sealed for countless years, their strength had probably greatly declined. Qin Chen immediately sent a voice transmission to the true dragon in the lake, who then immediately flew out upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s voice transmission. It was a true dragon with a huge body whose scales were shimmering with light. Then, the true dragon transformed into a middle-aged man in front of Qin Chen. His aura had reached level 6 of the God Emperor realm. Such a peerless expert made the old race leader of the king-kong race excited. If the true dragon was willing to make a move, it would be easy to deal with that devil and suppress it. However, this true dragon didn¡¯t seem quite friendly. When Qin Chen finished explaining the matter, the true dragon immediately became a little unwilling. Seeing this, the old race leader of the king-kong race felt a little uneasy and anxious. Could it be that the other party wanted to go back on his words? Qin Chen waved his hand at the old race leader, and said, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s not that we¡¯re not willing, but the true dragon is my brother. I can¡¯t force it to do such a dangerous thing. After all, it¡¯s perilous to try and kill a God Emperor-realm devil.¡± In just a few words, the old race leader understood what Qin Chen meant. He immediately expressed that he would double the reward for them. Immediately, Qin Chen laughed. He had deliberately told the true dragon through voice transmission to show some unwillingness. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to ruthlessly gain more benefits from the king-kong race. This time, they had to gain enough benefits. As a powerful race that could survive on the ancient planet, the king-kong race naturally had a lot of resources. Qin Chen¡¯s exorbitant demand this time may hurt their foundation, but all of this was worth it as long as they could kill that devil. Otherwise, the reappearance of the devil would shake the foundation of the king-kong race and might even destroy their ancestral planet. If that were to happen, the king-kong race might go down the road of decline. One must know that it hadn¡¯t been easy for them to achieve what they had today. Since Qin Chen had already agreed, the true dragon agreed as well. Then, they tore the void and descended into the forbidden ground. It should be known that the forbidden ground was not simple. It was full of danger because the power of the seal had become extremely weak. The devil may break the seal and come out at any moment. If that happened, Qin Chen and the others might be injured as well. After all, that was a God Emperor-realm expert who was incomparably terrifying. Although the true dragon had already broken through to level 6 of the God Emperor realm, it still needed to be vigilant. It was better to be safe than sorry. Otherwise, they might fail miserably at some point in time. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the rest were very careful as they arrived at the place where the seal was. The place looked extremely dilapidated. There was only an altar, and below it should be where the devil was sealed. The fact that the king-kong race¡¯s ancestor had been able to seal the devil here showed how extraordinary he was. To be able to suppress an existence in the God Emperor realm meant that their race had once had some powerful characters. It was a pity that the super expert had died and no longer existed in this world. No one would be able to escape the corrosion of time, including the ancient great emperors. Qin Chen had some suspicions that if the ancient great emperors hadn¡¯t left this cosmic, they might also be injured by the passage of time. As he thought of this, Qin Chen looked at the altar. It was obvious that the altar was shaking and making a loud noise. It made everyone¡¯s heart surge. On the other side, the race leader of the king-kong race had brought two other Great God-realm experts to join in the attack with Qin Chen and the others. The true dragon was still the main force. After all, only it had broken through to the God Emperor realm among them. If they were to fight, without the help of a true dragon, they would be in an extremely difficult situation and might even be killed by the enemy. Looking at the altar shaking, Qin Chen and the others became more cautious. Obviously, the devil sealed under the altar had sensed their arrival. ¡°I never expected there to even be a God Emperor realm expert. It seems that the day I break the seal is destined to not be very smooth.¡± If the devil wanted to break the seal and leave, he would have to get through the barrier of those outside. However, over the years, the devil had been constantly cultivating an evil technique, which had made his strength constantly stronger. Now that he wanted to escape, who could stop him? Following this, Qin Chen and the others felt a shocking burst of energy. In an instant, the altar shattered into pieces, and boundless black gas surged out like it wanted to drown the entire world. In the next instant, a figure emerged from it. The devil had had enough of the countless years he had spent under the altar. Qin Chen and the others looked at the devil, who was emitting evidently strong killing intent. If there was a battle today, it was bound to be extremely brutal. The big scorpion, Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the others retreated to the back. This was no longer a battle they could participate in. After all, if this God Emperor-realm devil were to make a move, they would be affected and would most likely be severely injured. Therefore, it was better not to add to the burden of Qin Chen and the others. Chapter 462 - 462 The Level Five God Emperor Realm Devil 462 The Level Five God Emperor Realm Devil Qin Chen and the true dragon surrounded the devil. At the same time, the latter also identified who his enemies were. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a true dragon to appear here. It seems like the world is about to fall into chaos. Now is the best time for me to break out of the seal! After I kill you all and devour your blood, I¡¯ll definitely return to my peak. With that, I¡¯ll have a chance to break through to a higher realm. So, please die and become my nourishment!¡± With that, Qin Chen and the others watched as the devil suddenly unleashed his strength. The God Emperor-realm aura on the latter¡¯s body was extremely terrifying! He had already reached level 5 of the God Emperor realm! Immediately, Qin Chen had a bad feeling. He roared at the race leader of the king-kong race, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that he¡¯s only a level 3 God Emperor? Why is there such a huge difference between his supposed cultivation realm and his real one?¡± To think that God Emperor-realm devil had broken through! This was something that the old race leader had not expected. It was obvious that the other party had been cultivating non-stop during the endless years of being sealed to reach his current realm. Then, the terrifying devil attacked the true dragon! ¡°The blood of a true dragon should be the most delicious thing in the world!¡± The terrifying devil went all out, wanting to kill the true dragon. As long as he could do so, he would be able to recover a good lot of his power and thus break through once more. He was now at level 5 of the God Emperor realm. If he were to take another step forward, he would be at level 6 of the God Emperor realm! At the thought of this, the devil immediately made a move. In an instant, a large amount of demonic energy appeared on his hand and eroded the front! The true dragon was not afraid of the demonic energy and simply released its aura. The pressure from the two God Emperors made everyone tremble in fear! It was so strong that they almost couldn¡¯t breathe. Then, the true dragon transformed into its true form, a huge divine dragon. The many scales on his body flickered with light. Its eyes shot out a bright divine light and it spat out a ball of dragon flame. In an instant, the terrifying dragon flame burned the void, turning it into chaos. Even the surging demonic energy could not withstand the dragon flames. After all, this was the most overbearing innate flame of the true dragon race! The terrifying flame burned a lot of the demonic energy and continued heading toward the devil. The devil was shocked, but he then became crazier, ¡°This is only right! If you¡¯re too weak, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have any fun.¡± In an instant, the devil unleashed his strength again, and the demonic energy on his body became even more turbulent. He struck a palm at the true dragon, and the attack instantly condensed into a palm print the size of a mountain. It exuded a terrifying demonic aura and pressed down on the true dragon. The dragon flame, which was like a fire dragon, was instantly crushed into nothingness. No one expected this devil to be so difficult to deal with. One should know that this was the dragon flame of a true dragon, but it was actually dissolved just like that. It seemed that this devil who had been suppressed for countless years must be extraordinary. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have possibly dispersed the flames of the true dragon so easily. Qin Chen and the others were filled with worry. If this continued, would the true dragon really be a match for the devil? Seeing that the true dragon was hostile, the devil also attacked crazily. Even if the devil didn¡¯t want to fight, he could only go all out. Otherwise, he might be killed by the true dragon. This true dragon clearly wanted to destroy the devil, but the latter was an old monster from countless years ago. His lifespan was even longer than all the people present added together, so he naturally knew many secret techniques. It was possible that the devil had already become a quasi-emperor-realm expert. One had to know that he was once a famous devil. Even many God Emperor-realm existences had heard of his name. Now that he had broken the seal and reappeared in the world, he wanted to bring chaos to the heavens! He must have felt the opportunity to become an emperor in this era, which the devil wanted to fight for. If he could become an ancient great emperor, then no expert in the cosmic could do anything to him even if they wanted to. At the thought of this, the devil attacked ruthlessly again. A long sword that emitted an evil aura suddenly appeared in his hand. It looked extraordinary, and under the devil¡¯s control, it turned into a divine weapon that emitted monstrously thick demonic smoke while slashing down at the true dragon. ¡°Today, I shall slay a true dragon!¡± The true dragon was fearless even as it watched the demonic flames on the terrifying sword slash over. After all, its physical body was extremely strong, and the strongest part was its dragon bones. With that, the true dragon slapped out a claw, clawing forward! Following this, the fierce and powerful sword energy clashed with the true dragon¡¯s huge claw with a shocking force, instantly tearing its scales apart. However, it could not move an inch further because the bones of a true dragon were extremely hard. They simply blocked the sword energy. The true dragon¡¯s claw was injured, but it didn¡¯t seem to feel any pain as it clawed forward again. The devil had not expected the true dragon to be so crazy. It seemed like he had to get serious. Then, a devilish ball emitting a terrifying aura was formed in front of the devil and shot forward! The energy contained in this devilish ball was extremely terrifying. It was the demonic energy that the devil had accumulated over countless years. If an ordinary person were to even come into contact with this aura, they would most likely be demonized. Although the true dragon was a level higher than the devil, the latter was not afraid at all. In his opinion, this true dragon was only relying on its bloodline and talent. It couldn¡¯t possibly be his match. Then, he shot out the terrifying devilish ball. In an instant, the devilish ball tore through the void and arrived in front of the true dragon. ¡°Be careful!¡± Qin Chen roared and unleashed a crazy burst of power as he slashed forward! In an instant, his Chaotic Divine Body circulated wildly as he stood in front of the true dragon. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and poured his divine power into it, and the weapon immediately burst out with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might that pressed forward! Qin Chen had slashed out a wave of the chaotic sword energy! This sword energy was unleashed by the weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, so it was naturally extremely terrifying, causing the devil to be shocked. Chapter 463 - 463 Now 463 Now ¡°How is this possible?! That¡¯s an extreme emperor weapon! To think that even the emperor weapon of an ancient great emperor has appeared. It seems that chaos is really coming soon in this era. If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s very likely that I can become stronger!¡± With that, the devil became even more frenzied and struck out with his palm again! Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic sword energy clashed with the devilish ball, creating a terrifying explosion. Qin Chen was instantly blown away, and even the true dragon was sent flying thousands of miles away. Qin Chen smashed into the ground, creating a huge pit that extended for thousands of miles in width and hundreds of meters in depth. Seeing this, everyone was worried, but Qin Chen simply stood up in a relaxed manner. He saw the devil strike out with his palm again. The palm print was the size of a mountain as it pressed down on him. The devil did not expect this human to have an extreme emperor weapon and could still survive even after blocking his devilish ball! How was this possible? It was simply unbelievable! The devil did not believe that Qin Chen could do something so incredible. At this moment, Qin Chen slashed out with his sword again, trying to split the palm print in half. Unexpectedly, the power of the palm was terrifying. In an instant, Qin Chen was once again smacked into the ground. This time, he coughed out blood. His five internal organs trembled, clearly suffering from heavy injuries. For a moment, Qin Chen¡¯s blood energy was flowing in the opposite direction, and he looked like he could not hold on any longer. He immediately swallowed a few leaves from the ancient tree of life. Their powerful life force began to heal his internal organs. With that, his internal organs which were on the verge of shattering started to slowly recover. Even his blood energy that had been flowing in reverse was recovered. The devil was so shocked that he was at a loss for words. He didn¡¯t expect the human cultivator to still be alive. What kind of monster was this? How could he last so long? While the devil was still distracted, the true dragon attacked like lightning! The true dragon¡¯s claws turned into a divine light and slapped down. For a moment, the void began to tremble as the attack seemed to be going to tear the galaxy apart! Seeing this terrifying attack, the devil immediately fled and dodged to the side. Otherwise, the divine light would have torn his body apart. His physical strength had not fully recovered yet. He had just broken the seal, so he was at his weakest. The true dragon then clawed at the devil again. The attack had already locked onto the latter, even sealing the void. An incomparable pressure pressed down on the devil¡¯s body. For a moment, the devil felt as if he could not hold on any longer. Then, with a loud bang, his body was crushed. The devil¡¯s body should have been completely destroyed with that, but instead, it scattered into black smoke and condensed into the figure of the devil again in the distance. The true dragon did not expect the devil to still survive. It was quite curious about the other party¡¯s escape technique. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to still be alive. Then I¡¯ll just keep attacking and see how long you can last!¡± Following this, the true dragon soared again, moving with a terrifying secret technique that allowed it to display the true dragon race¡¯s fastest speed. In an instant, it pierced through the void like a thunderbolt and arrived in front of the devil. Once again, it ruthlessly struck out with its claw! Before the devil could react, his body was instantly crushed again, turning into black smoke and condensing in the distance. The newly condensed devil didn¡¯t hesitate to tear open the void and attempt to escape, because the attack from the true dragon was coming again. Before the devil had managed to do anything, the true dragon caught up to him again and struck out with its claw. A bad premonition arose in the devil¡¯s heart, and his body was crushed again. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh with amazement when he saw this scene. With such a top-notch escape technique, it seemed that the other party was no ordinary being. At this moment, Qin Chen had already recovered. He felt that his injuries had already recovered by 70% to 80%. Then, he stood up and watched as the true dragon chased after the devil. The devil was now completely defenseless in front of the true dragon. He could only be torn apart and crushed again and again. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before his power was exhausted. At that time, even if the devil had heaven-defying means, he would not be able to come back to life. It seemed that every time his body was condensed, he would become weaker and weaker. ¡°This can¡¯t do. If this continues, I¡¯ll definitely die here!¡± The devil was on the verge of going crazy. He had not expected the true dragon to keep targeting him and crushing his body. If this continued, he would probably die here today. He had just broken through the seal and reappeared in the world. Was he going to die just like that? Thinking about this, the devil wanted to escape. As long as he could leave, he believed that it wouldn¡¯t take long for him to return to his peak. He might even be able to go one step further and become an even more powerful existence. At that time, even the true dragon would not be its match. Unfortunately, the true dragon was still chasing after the devil with great perseverance, not letting the latter go at all. No matter what, the true dragon vowed to kill this devil here today. It could also feel that the other party was definitely not as simple as he seemed. If it let the devil escape, the other party might come to their door for revenge soon. It would not lay by trouble for the future. At this moment, Qin Chen had already seen through the devil¡¯s weakness. The source of this devil¡¯s power should be the extremely abundant demonic energy. If he could trap the devil in a spatial range, he would be able to kill the other party once and for all. At the thought of this, Qin Chen sent a voice transmission to the true dragon. The latter immediately thought of something and spat out dragon flames. The devil didn¡¯t expect the true dragon to choose not to blow up his body this time, but to spit out dragon flames instead. The devil could block the dragon flame, which wasn¡¯t enough to kill him. As such, he was overjoyed. Then, he immediately saw that the dragon flames had automatically turned into a cage of flames that imprisoned him instead. At that moment, he could feel that he was trapped in this terrifying cage and could not escape. He had a bad feeling. Could it be that these guys were up to no good? Then, Qin Chen laughed. ¡°Now!¡± Qin Chen roared, and the true dragon¡¯s eyes shone. Chapter 464 - 464 Mystical Imperial Bamboo 464 Mystical Imperial Bamboo Then, the true dragon struck out viciously with its claw. This time, the devil¡¯s body exploded, turning into boundless demonic energy. However, the demonic energy was unable to drift far away to condense into the figure of the devil again. Instead, it was completely trapped in place. The devil was trapped in the fire sphere and couldn¡¯t leave. After a while, the fellow condensed his body again, but this time, he was weaker than ever. It seemed that Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. This was the only way to kill the devil. The devil then let out a low roar of unwillingness, ¡°Let me go. If you help me leave, I¡¯ll give you a great fortune!¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen didn¡¯t even waver and sent a voice transmission to the true dragon, ¡°Destroy him!¡± With that, the true dragon crushed the devil¡¯s body again, turning it into countless demonic energy. The energy filled the fire cage, trying to break out of it. The devil had no other option but to struggle. Once again, he condensed his body. The true dragon continued to repeat its actions, crushing the devil¡¯s body again and again. It wouldn¡¯t take long for the devil to die completely. At this moment, Qin Chen simply smiled without saying anything. As long as they could kill this devil, he might be able to obtain the other party¡¯s soul. Qin Chen went to the side of the fire cage and repeated the same trick he used to kill the Divine Fire Great Emperor. Sure enough, the demonic energy could no longer be condensed. The figure of the devil slowly dissipated in the fire cage. The demonic energy also slowly disappeared from the world as if the devil had died. Following this, Qin Chen felt a terrifying spiritual energy piercing his brain as if it wanted to occupy his body. The devil¡¯s primordial spirit had entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. Unfortunately for the devil, the current Qin Chen was no longer the same as before. He even had the Chaos Divine Ring in his body. How could the devil and his puny God Emperor realm cultivation possess him? It was simply a fool¡¯s dream! With that, Qin Chen activated the Chaos Divine Ring. In an instant, his body exuded boundless terrifying spiritual power, suppressing the primordial spirit of the devil that had entered his body. The devil revealed his face and kept roaring, ¡°Kid, what¡¯s in your body? It¡¯s so terrifying!¡± No matter what, he could not have known that Qin Chen¡¯s body contained the soul weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, the Chaos Divine Ring! One had to know that this was a treasure that was no weaker than an extreme emperor weapon. To think this devil wanted to possess Qin Chen. Even if he was given a hundred chances, he would never succeed. The terrifying Chaos Divine Ring immediately suppressed the devil¡¯s primordial spirit, and Qin Chen immediately controlled it to wipe out the devil¡¯s soul in the primordial spirit. In an instant, only the devil¡¯s memory fragments were left. In other words, as long as Qin Chen refined these memory fragments, he would naturally be able to know where the great fortune that the devil had mentioned was. Qin Chen yearned to make himself more powerful. One should know that chaos would come soon in this world. At that time, his countless enemies would want him dead. If Qin Chen was not powerful enough, he would be doomed. At the thought of this, Qin Chen began to refine the memory fragments of the devil. Very quickly, an incomparably terrifying memory gushed into his mind. As time passed, the number of memory fragments grew larger, almost bursting Qin Chen¡¯s head. Qin Chen quickly suppressed the chaos in his soul and refined all the fragments. At the same time, he also learned who the devil was. He was a famous undefeatable demonic venerable from the primordial era! The other party had been extremely famous. It was said that he was the last disciple of an evil god. Unfortunately, he had been suppressed by the ancestors of the king-kong race for countless years. Now that the king-kong race¡¯s expert was dead, the seal became loose. Thus, the undefeatable demonic venerable wanted to break the seal and return to the world so that he could seize the opportunity to become an emperor in this era. The other party hadn¡¯t expected to encounter Qin Chen and the others. Shortly, Qin Chen had refined all of the undefeatable demonic venerable¡¯s memories. He thus knew where the great fortune that the other party was talking about was. Qin Chen smiled faintly, ¡°So, that¡¯s where it is.¡± It was a reward that was even more generous than what the king-kong race had offered him. Following this, Qin Chen went to the broken altar. As expected, the system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. There were indeed powerful divinity remnants here that could suppress God Emperor-realm experts. The ancestor of the king-kong race must have been someone that had transcended the God Emperor realm. God knows how many surprises the other party could bring to Qin Chen. Qin Chen prayed in his heart that he would get something good from checking in. Then, he opened his mouth and slowly said, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations. You have successfully checked into the sealed land. You have obtained the mystic imperial bamboo!] [Mystic Emperor Bamboo: A very precious supreme treasure born between heaven and earth. It has the power to improve one¡¯s cultivation prowess. It is very precious. There was once an expert who broke through to the quasi-emperor realm after refining the mystic imperial bamboo. This treasure is a supreme treasure used to break through realms, but it can also be used as a material for supreme magic items.] Hearing this, Qin Chen was extremely shocked. To think the mystic emperor bamboo had such a great origin, and could even help cultivators breakthrough. It must be known that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to break through, and there was a high chance of failure. However, the mystic emperor bamboo could help people break through the threshold of the quasi-emperor realm, which was enough to show how precious this supreme treasure was. No wonder it was regarded as canon. As expected of a supreme treasure! Then, a jade-like bamboo appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It exuded a mysterious aura that refreshed people¡¯s minds. Everyone was bewildered. They did not know what the thing that had suddenly appeared in the Elder King¡¯s hand was. Then, Qin Chen put away the mystic emperor bamboo. It was not the right time for him to use it anyway. They had just exterminated that devil and had yet to receive their reward from the king-kong race. The rewards that the king-kong race offered were extremely high, which made Qin Chen and the others elated. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes revealed a golden light of delight. The many treasures aroused his enthusiasm, and he put them away crazily. Chapter 465 - 465 Evil God 465 Evil God Under the orders of the king-kong race¡¯s race leader, their experts brought over many heavenly treasures and handed them to Qin Chen and the others. Having demanded for so many heavenly treasures, Qin Chen and the others had indeed asked for an exorbitant price, but they had ultimately helped the king-kong race eliminate the devil. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were ready to leave. There was no point in them staying here any longer. Qin Chen¡¯s greatest desire now was to obtain the great fortune mentioned by the demonic venerable. If what the other party said was true, then it would really be an extremely valuable treasure. At the thought of this, Qin Chen urged the crowd to leave quickly. When they heard that Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave, the experts from the king-kong race cupped their hands and sent them off. Qin Chen and the rest tore through the void and continued to advance. They were heading to a devil¡¯s den. There were basically no living creatures left in the devil¡¯s den, but it was still extremely terrifying. There was an extremely important demonic sunflower there. The demonic sunflower contained an extremely pure power that could help Qin Chen and the others to break through and reach a more terrifying level. Seeing that the crowd was confused, Qin Chen explained to them where they were going. When they heard that they were going to a devil¡¯s den, the big scorpion and the others immediately perked up. The Elder King would definitely not go there for no reason. The only explanation was that there was a treasure there, and it was something that could increase their strength! At the thought of this, everyone was overjoyed. Then, Qin Chen followed the direction in his memory and tore open the void. The star field they were in now wasn¡¯t like the one that had been affected by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. In other words, the position of the planets in this star field had not changed. It would not take too much effort. for Qin Chen and the others to get to the devil¡¯s den. After all, he had refined the memories of the undefeatable demonic venerable, so he had a very deep understanding of that place. Qin Chen hurriedly led the group over. They did not dare to wander around and expose themselves. After all, many wanted to kill them. Many old monsters had their eyes on Qin Chen and the others, such as the bloody man, Cang Lang, the godfiend Fei Xuan, the black stone golem, and so on. Those were all Qin Chen¡¯s old enemies. Qin Chen concealed his aura as he traveled. After all, he could not let those guys find his current traces. Along the way, they kept an extremely low profile. The true dragon was no longer in its true form, but concealed its aura and transformed into its human form, following behind Qin Chen. The group continued to tear the void apart and headed toward the devil¡¯s den. The devil¡¯s den was located in a desolate star field. It was said that the place was a relic where a great battle had broken out on an ancient battlefield there. The battle had been extremely tragic, and many existences had fallen there. Therefore, not many living beings would appear, excluding some evil cultivators. Some evil cultivators might have already found the place and were cultivating there. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others were in a hurry to go and take a look to see if the supreme treasure, the demonic sunflower, had been taken away by those evil cultivators. As they thought of this, they quickly rushed toward the devil¡¯s den. At this moment, a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the devil¡¯s den, revealing a shocking killing intent. Then, the figure¡¯s body started to tremble. If the invincible demonic venerable was here, he would definitely recognize that this was his master! To think the extremely terrifying evil God was not dead yet. Instead, he had awakened from the depths of the devil¡¯s den! At this moment, he could feel that karma had befallen him. What was going on? He opened his eyes, and the aura on his body became terrifying. His entire body exuded a terrifying fluctuation as if he was about to explode. If this went on, he would probably become a monster and go berserk. In any case, he was still an evil God and he knew that he would reach this stage with the cultivation technique he cultivated. However, compared to his current bad state, he was more interested in finding out the reason why he felt that great karma had befallen him. Then, his entire body trembled as a bad premonition rose in his heart! His disciple had died¡­ He didn¡¯t expect that the disciple he had placed high hopes on was dead. ¡°Little demonic venerable, even you died? Don¡¯t worry, master will help you take revenge. When I step onto that forbidden path, I may be able to resurrect you! Let me see who has such courage to kill you!¡± A terrifying aura appeared in the evil God¡¯s eyes, and he instantly understood the karma. For a moment, it was as if a great horror had erupted in the world, and even the Heavenly Dao was affected. One must know that understanding karma would definitely violate the secrets of heaven. Still, the evil God was unyielding and simply fearless of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao. ¡°Who the hell killed my disciple?¡± Thus, he saw it with his own eyes. It was as if he was above the forbidden ground, using the undefeatable demonic venerable¡¯s vision to see Qin Chen and the true dragon. ¡°So you¡¯re the ones who killed my disciple, huh? don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t be long before you¡¯ll all be buried with him.¡± What the evil God found interesting was that even a true dragon had appeared in this era. It should be known that there were currently no traces of those divine beasts in the nine Heavens and ten lands or even in the universe. It seemed that those divine beasts had all been brought away by the experts of their races to other places. Many cracks appeared on the evil God¡¯s body. Upon closer inspection, those cracks were actually the chains of the Great Path shackling him as if to suppress his power. One could only imagine how powerful this evil God was. He had actually reached such a terrifying state that chains of the Great Path were needed to suppress him. However, it was not that the evil God had been suppressed by someone. Rather, she had sealed himself here of his own will and had been waiting for the opportunity to reappear in the world again when the opportunity to become an emperor appeared in this era. ¡°It¡¯s time to let this world feel my might.¡± The evil God¡¯s eyes were filled with darkness and terror. He seemed to be an extremely ferocious creature. Since the evil God could be called a God, he naturally had many terrifying aspects. The fact that he was able to live from back then to now was enough to show how terrifying he was. His strength had not been weakened too much, and he was currently borrowing the power of the devil¡¯s den to recover. ¡°So many years have passed. I¡¯m afraid that the world has long forgotten my name. Hahaha! I¡¯m back!¡± Chapter 466 - 466 Demonic Path Cultivator 466 Demonic Path Cultivator At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already decided to head to the devil¡¯s den. In fact, some demonic path cultivators were cultivating in the devil¡¯s den. They had discovered this place by chance, which was a supreme holy land for demonic path cultivators. It was a great blessing to be able to cultivate here since it could make their strength even more terrifying, as well as make their breakthroughs relatively easier. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at the periphery of the devil¡¯s den. Looking around, they could see monstrous demonic energy. In an instant, everyone was apprehensive. Could this place really be an ancient battlefield left behind from a great battle of the primordial era? To think it was so terrifying. One could imagine how terrifying the being who had cultivated here was. After the battle, this place had been completely destroyed. The scenery that they saw now was extremely dilapidated, but it still shocked Qin Chen and the others. It was difficult for them to imagine what realm of expert could unleash such terrifying power in a battle. Thinking of this, Qin Chen brought everyone to the outskirts of the devil¡¯s den. They landed, feeling their hearts palpitate. The big scorpion said slowly, ¡°It seems that there is still great danger here. My heart is actually palpitating.¡± No one dared to be careless. There were too many dangers and horrors in the cosmic. If they were not careful, they might die without leaving even a trace of themselves left. The fact that they had arrived at a devil¡¯s den meant that this was the devil¡¯s den from the memories of the invincible demonic venerable. Qin Chen immediately became cautious. Although the other party said that the devil¡¯s den had no danger, Qin Chen did not believe him. Once they triggered the restrictions left in the devil¡¯s den, they would most likely die. Therefore, they were extremely cautious as they explored the devil¡¯s den. There were many buildings in the devil¡¯s den, but most of them had been destroyed, leaving only a few dilapidated walls. Still, the place looked very extraordinary. Even the true dragon said, ¡°The demonic energy here is quite rich. Perhaps there are some incredible means hidden here.¡± To put it bluntly, even experts stronger than God Emperors had to act with caution here. Otherwise, they would be seeking their own deaths. The path of cultivation was extremely cruel and dangerous. Qin Chen and the others were already mentally prepared, but they still did not dare to relax. Most of the time, cultivators didn¡¯t know whether tomorrow¡¯s Sun or an accident would come first. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed and focused his attention on exploring the front. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will spread out from his body to his surroundings. His spiritual will was already extremely terrifying and had reached the peak of the God realm. Although he was only at level 4 of the God realm, he was no weaker than the experts at the peak of the same realm. Rather, he might even be able to kill the other party with haste. Soon, Qin Chen and the others noticed something unusual someplace away. There were actually fluctuations coming from there. As for the reason behind such an occurrence, it was very easy to explain. A demonic path cultivator must have discovered this place and was cultivating it here. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others sneaked over, wanting to catch the other party off guard. Even if they didn¡¯t do anything to the demonic path cultivator, it was very likely that the latter would attack them. After all, it involved a conflict of interest between the two parties. Supposing Qin Chen and the others did not attack the demonic path cultivator, the latter would probably still attack them. Therefore, the best thing to do now was to kill the other party carefully. Otherwise, even if they entered the devil¡¯s den to search for treasures and opportunities, they might be ambushed by the other party. The demonic path cultivator had been cultivating in the devil¡¯s den for hundreds of years. He had only discovered this place by chance. As the supreme holy land for demonic path cultivators, he was naturally overjoyed to have found the place. He didn¡¯t think he would be so lucky. After that, he cultivated in the devil¡¯s den and made use of all sorts of treasures and opportunities scattered around to step into level 1 of the God Emperor realm. Without the opportunities in the devil¡¯s den, he might have still been an ordinary Great God-realm cultivator. He could foresee that once he had collected all the opportunities here, he should be able to take another big step forward. At that time, he would be able to be called a worthy expert, one of the top experts in the world. However, he also knew that in this world, there were definitely many hidden old monsters with terrifying power. Once a figure of that realm made a move, he and his God Emperor cultivation base were nothing. After thinking of all this, the demonic path cultivator calmed his heart, wanting to continue cultivating here. But he didn¡¯t expect that there would suddenly be fluctuations in the surroundings. He instantly became alert. There was a possibility that other demonic path cultivators were going to attack him. In fact, he wasn¡¯t the only demonic path cultivator who had entered the devil¡¯s den. Several others had also discovered the location and secret of the devil¡¯s den by chance and were cultivating here. Usually, their relationship was not very harmonious and full of suspicions. Once a demonic path cultivator had the strength, they would definitely hunt down the others. Everyone wanted to seize all the good fortune in this place. It was clear that there were many fortunes in this place, and they didn¡¯t want to wait for others to become stronger to kill them instead. Therefore, the best way was to attack without holding back if there was even a slight chance of killing the other party. No one knew if they would suddenly obtain more powerful opportunities and make a leap to become an even more powerful existence when cultivating here. ¡°Are you guys here?¡± The demonic path cultivator smiled. He hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to pursue the other demonic path cultivators. He didn¡¯t expect them to come to him instead. Since that was the case, he could not be blamed for making a move. However, he did not expect that the people who came were not demonic path cultivators, but Qin Chen and his group. When Qin Chen and the others appeared, the demonic path cultivator was shocked, ¡°Who are you?¡± Following this, he immediately took a fancy to a true dragon. He had never expected that a true dragon would still exist in this world! He had originally thought that such a divine beast only existed in legends. Those legends were simply too long ago, and the divine beasts had supposedly long disappeared from the world. The demonic path cultivator had never thought that he would be able to see a true dragon in his lifetime. One had to know that this was a real true dragon that was emitting a terrifying dragon¡¯s might. Chapter 467 - 467 Kill You 467 Kill You A true dragon¡¯s bloodline could not be faked. The demonic path cultivator had never expected to see a true dragon in his lifetime, and this made him feel quite fearful. This was because the true dragon was far more powerful than him. It had already broken through to level 6 of the God Emperor realm. One had to know the bigger the level difference, the wider the gap, and there was a gap of five levels between him and the true dragon. Even if he unleashed his full strength, he still wouldn¡¯t be a match for his opponent. He immediately felt the killing intent of Qin Chen and the others. ¡°What do you want?¡± The demonic path cultivator quickly asked. He was extremely cautious and was ready to run at any time. He didn¡¯t want to lose his life here. ¡°To kill you¡­¡± Qin Chen said indifferently. With that, Qin Chen sealed the surrounding void, leaving the demonic path cultivator with nowhere to escape. Then, they attacked the demonic path cultivator immediately. The true dragon let out a roar, shattering the void! The dragon¡¯s might seemed to permeate the nine Heavens. With such a terrifying true dragon bloodline, it seemed that the other party was truly a divine beast! The demonic path cultivator was scared out of his wits because the other party had decided to attack him. He was extremely terrified. He did not know why his opponent wanted to attack him. Although he had already broken through to level 1 of the God Emperor realm, he was still no match for the true dragon. Why did these people want to kill him? The demonic path cultivator couldn¡¯t wrap his head around this. In his opinion, there was no conflict or grudge between him, these human cultivators, or the true dragon. How could the other party kill him for no reason? When he thought of this, the demonic path cultivator had a guess in his heart. The other party might also want to seize the opportunities and fortunes of this place. They were worried about a potential enemy like him, so they wanted to kill him in advance. At the thought of this, he sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he had an extremely powerful treasure that might allow him to escape. Seeing the true dragon charge towards him, the God Emperor-realm demonic path cultivator showed no fear. One had to know that in the outside world, a God Emperor-realm cultivator could already be considered the strongest in an area. This was because the true experts in this world were basically some immortal old monsters who were hidden and had sealed themselves in a deep sleep to avoid the erosion of time. The demonic path cultivator didn¡¯t expect the true dragon to attack him so quickly and was even trying to kill him. His heart was filled with battle intent. He had never fought against anyone ever since he had reached the God Emperor realm. He had no idea just how powerful he had become. Although the true dragon in front of him was extremely terrifying and had already surpassed him by five levels, he was still unafraid. This was because he had a trump card in his hand. When he saw the true dragon charging towards him, the demonic path cultivator took out his magic item, which was a soul-beckoning banner! This soul-beckoning banner had been refined using a secret technique of the demonic path for an extremely long time. With the nourishing of the demonic energy here, it had long grown into an extremely terrifying demonic path magic item. In an instant, countless streaks of demonic energy condensed into the figures of living creatures, which pounced toward the true dragon. No one expected the evil weapon to be so terrifying. The true dragon was secretly shocked, but it did not hesitate to spit out a stream of dragon flames. Wherever the dragon flames went, the void was burned. Even the living beings formed by the demonic energy could not stop the flames and were instantly incinerated into nothingness. Under the power of the dragon¡¯s might, the soul-beckoning banner simply did not have the slightest bit of power to resist. The demonic path cultivator had not expected the true dragon that was charging at him to be so terrifying. A trace of fear rose in his heart. Now that things had come to this, he could no longer hide his trump card. With that, the demonic path cultivator took out a piece of talisman paper which was a decree. It was probably refined by one of the strongest demonic path cultivators and thus possessed unparalleled terrifying power. The demonic path cultivator believed that it should be able to deal with this true dragon. In an instant, the decree was activated, and demonic energy burst out! Even Qin Chen and the others were surprised. The trump cards of the demonic path cultivators could not be underestimated. From the looks of it, the other party had obtained a lot of benefits from cultivating in this devil¡¯s den. The decree instantly turned into a demonic domain that enveloped the true dragon. At this moment, Qin Chen made his move. With the innate sword embryo in his hand, he injected his divine power into it. In an instant, the aura of an ancient great emperor seemed to reverberate here! One must know that this was an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. It was extremely terrifying, and with Qin Chen¡¯s full power activation, it had already reached a terrifying level! Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body burst out at full power. The heavens rumbled, and the rules of chaos appeared before him. Then, he slashed out with his sword and split the demonic domain in half. Unexpectedly, the demonic domain was easily cut open by the innate sword embryo! The true dragon rushed out. Even if Qin Chen didn¡¯t make a move, the demonic domain probably wouldn¡¯t be able to trap the true dragon. Since it was a technique left behind by a supreme demonic path cultivator, Qin Chen knew that his innate sword embryo was a great counter to such a demonic domain. If he didn¡¯t make a move, it would only be a matter of time before the true dragon broke through the demonic domain, but there might be changes in that period. The demonic path cultivator may escape, and they would not be able to kill him. The demonic path cultivator was extremely furious, ¡°I¡¯ve never met any of you before, and there¡¯s no enmity between us. Why do you want to kill me?¡± Qin Chen did not say a word. One should know that the most hateful people in the world were the demonic path cultivators. They usually practiced the evilest cultivation techniques, which usually required the blood of countless living beings to make them stronger. As a result, evil cultivators and demonic path cultivators were very shunned open in the nine Heavens and ten lands and even in the cosmic. Any cultivator of the righteous path would detest this kind of scum. If they met any, they would definitely kill them. Then, the true dragon attacked again. The scales on its body glowed, and divine light shot out of its eyes as it struck out with its claw! The dragon claw was like an incomparably sharp divine light, crushing the body of the level 1 God Emperor-realm demonic path cultivator. Even the latter¡¯s primordial spirit was unable to escape and was annihilated. Qin Chen then used his powerful spiritual power and searched for the other party¡¯s memory fragments with the help of the Chaos Divine Ring. One must know that these memory fragments were extremely precious and would easily disappear from the world. Chapter 468 - 468 Pursue 468 Pursue Qin Chen immediately absorbed the demonic path cultivator¡¯s memory fragments into his soul and began to refine it. Soon, his eyes flew open. He had finished refining the memory fragments. Without the owner¡¯s primordial spirit, Qin Chen could easily refine the memory fragments. With that, he learned that the demonic path cultivator that they had just killed was not the only one who had entered the devil¡¯s den. There were a few others around as well. Qin Chen shifted his gaze to the other areas at the periphery of the devil¡¯s den. Many demonic path cultivators sensed the terrifying fluctuation, which they hadn¡¯t expected. Could it be that a great battle had broken out? This meant that one of the demonic path cultivators must have broken through. If that were the case, their lives were in danger. The demonic path cultivators then went into hiding, trying to escape and continue their cultivation. Qin Chen said to the crowd, ¡°We must not leave any rock unturned. We have to find these guys immediately. If we let them continue their cultivation, it is very likely that they will cause trouble.¡± At that time, they might have a few more powerful enemies appearing out of nowhere. If Qin Chen and the others were to search for treasures in the devil¡¯s den, they would definitely be targeted by the demonic path cultivators here. At that time, they would be in great trouble. Qin Chen had always preferred to nip the trouble in the bud. The crowd nodded, then spread out and began to search. The demonic path cultivators thought they had hidden well in the devil¡¯s den, but what they didn¡¯t know was that when the true dragon came looking for them, they would have nowhere to run. They thought they had hidden well, but the true dragon could still catch their aura fluctuations. One should know that a true dragon was a God Emperor-realm being. Its divine power was incomparably powerful, allowing it to find some weak fluctuations almost instantaneously. As long as it continued searching, it would eventually be able to find the rest of the demonic path cultivators and kill them all. Qin Chen and the rest followed the true dragon in search. It didn¡¯t take long before they found another demonic path cultivator. However, this demonic path cultivator was relatively weak, only in the Great God realm. Qin Chen originally thought that many of the demonic path cultivators here had reached the God Emperor realm. He didn¡¯t expect to find a demonic path cultivator in the Great God realm. Since the opponent was so weak, the true dragon killed him effortlessly. Another earth-shaking fluctuation erupted! The rest of the demonic path cultivators were terrified. Why was there another wave of fluctuations? Were they not hidden enough? One of them had been discovered by the other party, which meant that the rest of them were all at risk of being killed. Therefore, the demonic path cultivators hid even more frantically, rushing into the depths of the devil¡¯s den. One had to know that the depths of the devil cave were accompanied by great dangers. There were many attacks there left behind by demonic path experts that have yet to disappear. They contained extremely terrifying power that could kill them. Under such circumstances, their chances of survival were even slimmer. A terrifying existence was chasing after them, and great dangers were waiting for them in the depths of the devil¡¯s den. It was very likely that they would die the moment they went over. Soon, Qin Chen and the others discovered another demonic path cultivator, who was carefully hiding alone in a half-destroyed palace. Qin Chen and the others surrounded him. The demonic path cultivator let out a furious roar, feeling extremely frightened. He did not expect that he would be discovered. Then, he charged out madly. He was also a Great God realm cultivator. This time, the true dragon did not make a move. Instead, Qin Chen unleashed his strength and fought with the other party for a few rounds before beheading him. Although the process was extremely dangerous, it was good training for Qin Chen. This Great God-realm cultivator was obviously not at a high level, only about level 2. In such a cross-level battle, Qin Chen did not expect to be able to behead his opponent so easily. Then, Qin Chen and the rest continued to move forward, wanting to kill all the remaining demonic path cultivators. It was a pity that the remaining were smarter. Being extremely afraid of death, they had headed to the depths of the devil¡¯s den. In this case, Qin Chen and the others would also have to go to the depths of the devil¡¯s den. Qin Chen said, ¡°It¡¯s just right. We are going to the depths of the devil¡¯s den to search for supreme treasures anyway. It seems that those people have no other choice.¡± Indeed, the terrifying fluctuations emitted by Qin Chen¡¯s group could not be hidden from the other party at all. When the demonic path cultivators sensed those fluctuations, they simply fled in fear. Any other demonic path cultivator would have done the same. Qin Chen and the rest continued to advance into the depths of the devil¡¯s den. However, during this process, they were very careful and did not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, they would probably have to pay the price with their blood. After all, there were many terrifying things in the devil¡¯s den. Shortly, Qin Chen and the others triggered a restriction. In an instant, Qin Chen was sent flying. He spat out blood and almost died. In an instant, he was severely injured. One must know that Qin Chen was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, yet he was still unable to defend against such a fierce attack. One could imagine that even a God Emperor would not be able to withstand this attack. The true dragon was secretly worried, wondering if the Elder King could still continue advancing. Qin Chen only took a short break and swallowed a few leaves of the ancient tree of life. Then, he stood up and continued to move forward. He recovered his strength along the way, which didn¡¯t conflict with his moving forward. The most important thing now was to find the remaining demonic path cultivators and kill them. That being said, Qin Chen and the others did not know where to find them. After all, the devil¡¯s den was quite large. Many of the restrictions were triggered, made apparent from the fluctuations that were obviously coming from somewhere far away, and not from Qin Chen and the others. It was enough to show that there should be demonic path cultivators escaping from them. Hidden in this danger was extreme fear. The demonic path cultivators didn¡¯t know why the other party was chasing after them to kill them. However, there was nothing they could do. They could only continue to flee. This was because the fluctuations were simply too powerful. They had no way to imagine what cultivation realm those experts were at. If they were caught, they would be dead. They continued to run away frantically. Along the way, a demonic path cultivator accidentally touched a remnant restriction, which triggered a terrifying light! In an instant, one of his arms turned into dust, and intense pain took over his brain. The demonic path cultivator gritted his teeth and didn¡¯t let out a scream. He continued to try his best to escape. Chapter 469 - 469 The Secret Realm in the Devils Den 469 The Secret Realm in the Devil¡¯s Den Although the demonic path cultivator had lost an arm, it was a small price to pay for his life. He had lost an arm, but he should be able to hold on. Then, he continued to move forward. Soon, he heard footsteps behind him. The footsteps were very hurried and seemed to be chasing him. Thinking of this, the demonic path cultivator¡¯s face was filled with fear. How could this be? Could it be that the other party was another demonic path cultivator who was more powerful? The demonic path cultivator continued to run forward, trying to shake off the danger behind him. Qin Chen and the others also saw a figure running at extreme speed in front of them. It looked like the other party was trying his best to escape, but unfortunately, they would not let him succeed. Qin Chen quickly used the Moving Secret Technique and moved forward. Even though he was careful, he still accidentally triggered a restriction. ¡°Elder King!¡± The true dragon and the others couldn¡¯t help but worry for Qin Chen. In an instant, Qin Chen disappeared. The attack of the restriction didn¡¯t land on him but on the ground. A huge pit instantly appeared on the ground, and Qin Chen had only dodged it by a hair¡¯s breadth. His heart was beating wildly, but fortunately, he had dodged the attack. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would be on the verge of death again. Even if the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor could withstand the attack, it would still hurt his internal organs. Once his internal organs were completely destroyed, he would never be able to recover. By then, even the ancient tree of life¡¯s power would be unable to resurrect Qin Chen. Qin Chen did not have the means to perform the resurrection of the Great Nature Sutra again. The one-armed demonic path cultivator in front of him was still running. Suddenly, a hollow stone tablet appeared not far away. There seemed to be spatial fluctuations on the stone tablet, which looked like the entrance to a secret realm. Now that the enemy was getting closer and closer, the demonic path cultivator had no choice but to jump into the fluctuations and disappear. When Qin Chen and the others saw this, they hurried over. They did not expect that there would be a secret realm in the devil¡¯s den. Could it be that the great battle back then did not destroy this place? To be able to survive that tragic war, the things that were preserved must be extraordinary. It could be imagined that this secret realm might be quite dangerous. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others rushed in as well. This time, Qin Chen was still in front because he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Even if they encountered any danger, the armor would increase Qin Chen¡¯s chances of survival. On the contrary, if the true dragon or the big scorpion jumped in first, it was very likely that they would die straight away since they did not have the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to fend them from danger. The devil¡¯s den was filled with danger, so Qin Chen decided to be the vanguard. Soon, Qin Chen entered the secret realm. After a wave of fluctuations, the scenery in front of him changed and he had arrived in another unfamiliar world. This unfamiliar world should be the secret realm. It looked dark and gloomy. There seemed to be a powerful being in this secret realm that was not dead yet. It seemed to be growling. Could it be that there were still terrifying creatures in this secret realm? Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s blood ran cold. He never thought that he would step into such a dangerous place. At the same time, the true dragon and the rest followed behind Qin Chen. The demonic path cultivator who had just disappeared was still running forward. Even though he knew that this place was extremely dangerous, he could only keep running forward so that he would not lose his life. Compared to facing the pursuit of the terrifying people behind him, he was more willing to take a gamble and see if he could survive in this secret realm and shake off Qin Chen and the others. At the thought of this, the demonic path cultivator continued running forward like a madman. Seeing this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. They didn¡¯t expect this demonic path cultivator to be so bold. The path ahead was extremely dangerous, and even they could feel a trace of a terrifying aura. Then, the demonic path cultivator suddenly stepped on a restriction that was emitting a terrifying light! In an instant, an aura burst out and sent the demonic path cultivator flying. The demonic path cultivator spat out blood, but he did not die. He laughed madly, ¡°Haha, hahaha, I¡¯m not dead!¡± After that, he continued to run. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. This guy was obviously on the verge of madness. To think he didn¡¯t care about his life at all. However, they couldn¡¯t let this guy escape, otherwise, it might cause a great disaster. Usually, in such a secret realm, the terrifying dangers would be accompanied by heaven-defying opportunities. If this fellow obtained it, he would most likely pose a threat to Qin Chen and the others then. God knows if he would become yet another powerful enemy. Therefore, the safest way was to kill him now. The true dragon gave chase. At this moment, being in this secret realm, they still had no idea what dangers were ahead, but the true dragon took the lead and rushed out. It would hunt down the demonic path cultivator that was still running away! Then, everyone watched as the true dragon seemed to have increased its speed to the limit. With that, it traveled at an extremely terrifying speed, tearing through the layers of void instantly and detonating countless remaining restrictions along the way. All kinds of lights exploded, emitting terrifying pressure! Fortunately, the true dragon was fast enough to escape the dangers in an instant. Everyone was worried as they watched on. If the true dragon were to encounter some terrifying restriction, it could possibly be severely injured on the spot, or even die. Qin Chen immediately sent a voice transmission to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon, let¡¯s stop giving chase. He can¡¯t escape from here. We¡¯ll find him eventually and kill him.¡± However, the true dragon seemed to have not heard anything and continued to chase after the demonic path cultivator. The latter now only had one arm left and had been severely injured on the spot. His speed had been greatly reduced, thus it was a good time to give chase! The demonic path cultivator suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from behind him! He had never thought that it would be a true dragon that was chasing after him. It was extremely fast, and its cultivation prowess seemed to have already reached the God Emperor realm! How could the true dragon be so terrifying? Chapter 470 - 470 Primordial Divine Sou 470 Primordial Divine Sou The demonic path cultivator was shocked, then he became even more terrified. He gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them. He burned his blood essence which instantly largely increased his speed. He didn¡¯t want to die at the hands of this true dragon. He had to live. He couldn¡¯t die! Suddenly, a tentacle pierced through the demonic path cultivator¡¯s abdomen and dragged him away! The true dragon stopped in its tracks. What was that just now? Before it could even see clearly, the demonic path cultivator had already disappeared. However, with the remaining fluctuations, the true dragon looked in the direction of the source. It was a blood-red cocoon. God knows what kind of creature was hidden in the cocoon, but it was emitting a terrifying aura. Qin Chen and the others were also shocked. They did not know what had just happened. The demonic path cultivator had disappeared all of a sudden, not even having the time to scream. What was going on? When Qin Chen and the others arrived by the true dragon¡¯s side, they followed the latter¡¯s line of sight and saw the blood-red cocoon. Qin Chen gulped This cocoon was probably nurturing some kind of terrible evil thing. How could it be so terrifying? The aura the cocoon exuded was enough to make Qin Chen¡¯s heart tremble. Even the God Emperor-realm true dragon was slightly apprehensive. God knows what kind of monster was being nurtured within the cocoon. However, it was obvious that it was nothing good though. Such rich and boundless demonic energy could only be nourishing evil that should not exist in this world. Then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Could he check in at the secret realm in the devil¡¯s den? What kind of place was this that could trigger the system¡¯s check-in? Could it be that this blood-red cocoon was the source of the powerful divinity remnant? Qin Chen had many questions in his heart, but he still nodded and said, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the evil region¡¯s land. You have obtained the Jiuying divine soul!] [Jiuying Divine Soul: A legendary divine beast born from fierce waters, long extinct from the world. Its divine soul has the effect of increasing soul power, allowing the user to have something equivalent to a split soul. The host can use the Jiuying divine soul as his own, and thus have the ability to restrain vicious beasts. The Jiuying divine soul was born from heaven and earth and is extremely terrifying! Legend has it that it has nine lives. If the host can control it, you will be able to obtain its characteristics.] Qin Chen was shocked! Could it be that if he devoured the Jiuying divine soul, he would be able to have another split soul? If that were the case, didn¡¯t it mean that his split soul could die nine times? If true, he would be able to obtain a lot of benefits! His soul power would improve rapidly, and it was very likely that the strength of his soul could break through to the God realm! Thinking of this, Qin Chen was extremely shocked. In an instant, a terrifying aura appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s mind, which the Chaos Divine Ring repelled. Fortunately, the Chaos Divine Ring did not do anything to the Jiuying divine soul. Qin Chen began to try to insert his soul into the Jiuying divine soul. The appearance of the Jiuying divine soul was quite strange. It had nine heads that looked like snakes but not entirely. Rather, they looked more like the heads of Dragons. Those heads looked extremely ferocious, but none of them seemed to have a consciousness of their own. Following this, Qin Chen easily inserted his soul into the Jiuying divine soul and took complete control of it! In an instant, Qin Chen felt that a second him had appeared. The eyes of the Jiuying divine soul immediately lit up and the nine heads began to move. Qin Chen was still not used to having a split soul, and it felt quite strange. However, this did bring him real benefits. Soon, Qin Chen felt that his soul power had increased crazily. At this moment, it had already surpassed the boundary of the God realm. At the very least, it was at the Great God realm! This terrifying soul power spread out, instantly shocking everyone. No one knew why the Elder King¡¯s aura was so terrifying. The true dragon¡¯s eyes revealed fear as it thought that Qin Chen had been possessed by some ancient being. It hadn¡¯t expected Qin Chen to have an aura that even it felt repulsed by. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s aura was sometimes like a human, then sometimes like an ancient beast. The two auras were so contradictory, yet all of this was truly happening in front of everyone. With the Jiuying divine soul, Qin Chen could feel the many benefits it brought. Not only had his soul power improved, but he could probe as far as three hundred meters. Using the spiritual will of the Jiuying divine soul, it seemed that nothing could block it. He instantly saw what kind of monster was hidden inside the blood-red cocoon! It was a human-shaped living being that was still lying within. At this moment, the human-shaped creature sent out its spiritual will to contact Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately retrieved the Jiuying divine soul. He did not expect the creature in the cocoon to be so terrifying. Even though the true dragon had broken through to level 6 of the God Emperor realm, its spiritual will was still unable to get close to the blood-red cocoon. Could this be the power of the Jiuying divine soul? Qin Chen was shocked to see the one-armed demonic path cultivator, whose abdomen had been pierced through, enter the blood-red cocoon! The other party was sucked into a dry corpse, his body turning into dust. All of his life force had been sucked away by the human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon. Seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart felt heavy. There seemed to be a fluctuation coming from the blood-red cocoon, and it actually said, ¡°I seemed to have felt the aura of an old friend just now. Could it be that his descendants are still alive?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled from the fact that the human-shaped creature inside the cocoon spoke. Could it be that the latter had known a Jiuying expert before? To think the other party could even recognize the Jiuying divine soul! Fortunately, the human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon was unable to leave the cocoon. He could only speak to Qin Chen and the others. He had just sensed the aura of an old friend. He did not expect to see the descendant of his old friend again after so many years. Qin Chen silently transmitted a message to the true dragon and the others, telling them to get ready to retreat and tear open the space to leave this damn place and return to the devil¡¯s den. Otherwise, it was highly likely that they would die in this secret realm. No one knew how much power the blood-red cocoon in the secret realm could unleash. The other party might very well kill Qin Chen and the others. Who could say for sure? The true dragon and the rest nodded at Qin Chen. As soon as Qin Chen said the word, they would immediately tear the void and leave. Chapter 471 - 471 Token 471 Token ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t be afraid. I don¡¯t have enough power to appear yet. Little fellow, come over.¡± The voice coming from the blood-red cocoon calmed Qin Chen down slightly. He gave the true dragon and the others a look. Then, he said, ¡°Senior, do you know a Jiuying race expert?¡± Hearing this question, the human-shaped creature in the cocoon immediately laughed loudly, ¡°Hahaha, what haven¡¯t I seen before? Even members of the true dragon race like the one next to you have fought with me before.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. The true dragon race had disappeared from the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, countless years ago. Along with the true dragon race, many other divine beast races had also disappeared. They had all left this world. No one expected the being inside the blood-red cocoon to have fought with a true dragon before. When they thought of this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked, including the true dragon. Could it be that there was an undying old monster inside the cocoon? To be able to live for such a long time and reach this era, the other party must be an extremely terrifying existence. He had most likely already reached a realm that Qin Chen and the others could not predict. The human-shaped living being within the blood-red cocoon continued, ¡°Why do you have a human body now? Why can¡¯t I sense your Jiuying body?¡± His words were immediately followed by a cold killing intent. The being could tell that Qin Chen¡¯s current state seemed a little abnormal. He could only feel the power of the Jiuying divine soul. If not for having dealt with a Jiuying race expert before, he might not have recognized that the human in front of him had a Jiuying divine soul. ¡°Where¡¯s your physical body?¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. What should he do now? He didn¡¯t know how much power the old monster inside the blood-red cocoon could unleash. He had only obtained the Jiuying divine soul from checking in with the system. How should he answer this question? Qin Chen released the Jiuying divine soul. With that, a strange-looking beast with nine heads appeared in front of everyone. It looked extremely ferocious. Everyone was shocked. Qin Chen said, ¡°My physical body is no longer here. Therefore, I seized this human cultivator¡¯s body.¡± Hearing this, the human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon nodded. So it seemed that his old friend¡¯s body had been destroyed. However, this human body that the Jiuying had possessed piqued the being¡¯s interest. To think the former even had the weapon of an ancient great emperor, an extreme emperor weapon. It seemed that this descendant of the Jiuying had profited from misfortune. With such a precious treasure, he would definitely be able to walk the path of experts. The human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon nodded. He pondered for a moment before he continued, ¡°Who are these human cultivators and that true dragon to you?¡± Qin Chen quickly replied, ¡°They are all my friends. We have been through life and death together.¡± He was afraid that the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon would make a move. If that happened, it was very likely that they would all die here. With just a thought, he might be able to turn everyone into ashes. Their strength was nothing in the eyes of the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon. They were simply too weak, just like ants. Upon hearing this, the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon stopped making things difficult for Qin Chen. Instead, he said to Qin Chen and the others, ¡°There seems to be the aura of a powerful expert in the devil¡¯s den. If you guys encounter him, you have to be extremely careful.¡± He then took out a token wrapped in blood energy and threw it at Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately grabbed it. What was this? The creature within the cocoon continued, ¡°Here is a token. If you encounter any danger, just crush it and I can save your life.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. One must know that the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon was an undying old man. If such a terrifying existence was willing to help him, he might really be able to save their lives. At the thought of this, Qin Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude, ¡°Thank you, senior!¡± The human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon simply sighed. He seemed to have recalled some of his memories. Only Qin Chen could see the current situation inside the blood-red cocoon. Even the true dragon who was in the God Emperor realm could not see the appearance of the human-shaped creature. Only Qin Chen could see the other party. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see the descendant of my old friend again.¡± The human-shaped creature regarded Qin Chen as the descendant of the Jiuying that he knew. It seemed that in the past, one of the good friends of the creature inside the cocoon had been a Jiuying. Moreover, they might even be close friends. The system helped Qin Chen a lot by giving him the Jiuying divine soul. Otherwise, they might have ended up like the demonic path cultivator that they had pursued after and thus entered the secret realm of the devi¡¯s den, having their vitality sucked dry and turning into dust. The human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon said, ¡°Alright, you guys can leave now. Remember, unless you have no other choice, do not crush this token. Otherwise, I might not be able to help you when you really need me to.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart had some other emotions. He didn¡¯t expect the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon to be so loyal. He then cupped his hands and bowed to the blood-red cocoon, ¡°Thank you, senior.¡± Then, he led everyone away. After Qin Chen and the rest finally tore through the void and left the secret realm, they gasped for breath upon returning to the devil¡¯s den. The pressure just now was too terrifying. God knows to what realm the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon had cultivated. The other party was so terrifying that they were all shaken. Fortunately, they had managed to save their lives from the hands of the other party. If not for the help of the system, it was very likely that everyone would not have been able to escape this calamity and would have died in that secret realm. In the secret realm, the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon laughed, ¡°Old friend, I didn¡¯t expect your descendant to end up like this. To think a human cultivator managed to steal your divine soul. Even I have never done such a heaven-defying thing before. However, it can be considered to have continued the inheritance of the Jiuying race. You have lost nothing!¡± In fact, the human-shaped creature had already seen through the fact that the Jiuying divine soul in Qin Chen¡¯s body hadn¡¯t possessed the human cultivator¡¯s body. Chapter 472 - 472 Lets Go Kill 472 Let¡¯s Go Kill The human cultivator had seized the Jiuying divine soul by using some kind of heaven-defying fate-changing technique. One must know that there had absolutely been no one in this world who had done such a thing before. It was simply unprecedented, and could most probably not be mimicked in the future. The junior had too many secrets. The reason why the human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon was willing to save Qin Chen once and give the latter his token was that the human cultivator had many secrets. The being wanted to use the token to track Qin Chen and the others. There was an opportunity to become an emperor in this era. If he wanted to increase his chances to become an emperor, then Qin Chen¡¯s mysterious and unpredictable heaven-defying means were definitely what he urgently needed. Qin Chen did not know that this token was not only a chance to save his own life but also meant the attention of the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest had left the secret realm and were looking for the other demonic path cultivators. When facing the creature within the cocoon just now, the big scorpion had almost been scared out of its wits. ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that the Elder King took action. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯d have to die this time.¡± The true dragon did not doubt that Qin Chen was a human cultivator. The latter must have obtained the Jiuying divine soul by chance, and it was indeed useful this time. This trump card had been forced to be revealed, but fortunately, it had somehow saved everyone¡¯s lives. The true dragon¡¯s heart was filled with complicated emotions. The human Elder King was truly unfathomable. It increasingly felt that the side of the Elder King that it had seen was only the tip of the iceberg. There were still many mysteries about Qin Chen. The true dragon didn¡¯t know his origins. Qin Chen¡¯s hidden background could most likely give it a big scare. The longer the true dragon followed Qin Chen, the more it felt that it was the right thing to do. Only by following Qin Chen could it continuously become stronger. Along the way, Qin Chen had obtained many supreme treasures and hadn¡¯t been the least bit stingy. He distributed his gains to everyone, so it was quite apparent that he was quite reliable. This was the reason why so many were willing to put their lives in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. No matter where Qin Chen went, they were willing to follow him. Even if what awaited them was a bottomless abyss, they would not be afraid. As long as the Elder King was around, nothing seemed to be able to threaten them. Soon, the group arrived in the depths of the devil¡¯s den, where they could sense the weak auras of demonic path cultivators. Those cultivators were also afraid of the many horrors in the depths of the devil¡¯s den, and their progress was thus infinitely slowed. This gave Qin Chen and the others a chance to catch up with them. Qin Chen said, ¡°According to what the human-shaped creature inside the blood-ref cocoon said, there¡¯s the aura of another expert in this devil¡¯s den. For him to call the other party an expert, it¡¯s very likely that the other party has already reached the same realm as him. But why aren¡¯t we noticing anything even in the devil¡¯s den?¡± Furthermore, in the memories of the undefeatable demonic venerable, there didn¡¯t seem to be any mention of such a terrifying existence in the devil¡¯s den either. It seemed that many changes had occurred in the devil¡¯s den, and even the creature inside the blood-red cocoon was totally unaware. Then, Qin Chen took a deep breath. No matter what was to come, he would deal with it as it came. This was the only thing they could do now. Since they had already stepped into this place, they could not return empty-handed. They had to obtain the demonic sunflower in the devil¡¯s den! Qin Chen looked into the distance, ¡°Let¡¯s go and kill those cultivators!¡± The demonic path cultivators continued to flee into the depths of the devil¡¯s den. They knew very well that if they were caught up by the experts behind them, they would probably die. The other party would not show them any mercy. To be able to have such might, it could only mean that the other party¡¯s strength was absolutely terrifying. They were not a match for the other party at all. Therefore, the demonic path cultivators all had the same thought in their minds. They couldn¡¯t stop, or they would die! If they continued to flee into the depths of the devil¡¯s den, they might still have a chance of survival. After all, the restrictions in the depths of the devil¡¯s den were but dead objects. Perhaps they could be lucky enough to survive and escape from the powerful existences behind them. Almost all of the demonic path cultivators had the same thought. This was the only way to survive. They didn¡¯t want to die, but the devil¡¯s den was indeed accompanied by great terror and danger. When they first discovered the devil¡¯s den, most of them simply cultivated in the periphery of the place. Just the opportunities they obtained from there were enough to make them so powerful and improve their cultivation prowess so quickly. One could only imagine what kind of mouth-watering peerless fortune was hidden in the depths of the devil¡¯s den. Qin Chen and the others kept moving forward. After all, they knew that those demonic path cultivators couldn¡¯t have escaped too far. As long as they followed the fluctuations left behind by them, they would be able to find those cultivators and kill them. To Qin Chen, he would not be at ease if he did not destroy all of the demonic path cultivators. After all, if they were ambushed by those guys while they were looking for the demonic sunflower, they might lose their lives. The path of cultivation had always been accompanied by countless cruelty, and cultivators of the demonic path deserved to die, to begin with. Those demonic path cultivators had killed countless innocent lives to reach their current state. Every time they broke through to the next realm, they would need the blood and souls of countless innocent lives. If he could kill a few more demonic path cultivators, he would be doing it for the heavens. Therefore, Qin Chen vowed to not let those fellows go. The true dragon led the way for Qin Chen. This was because Qin Chen could feel even with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he might not be able to withstand the danger in this place. It was very likely that his internal organs would be shattered. By then, no matter how strong his life force recovery technique was, it would be useless. Therefore, he could only let the true dragon scout ahead. After all, the true dragon was in the God Emperor realm. If it encountered any restrictions or dangers, it would be able to sense them easily and avoid them. Moreover, the true dragon race was extremely powerful, to begin with. The true dragon¡¯s speed was much faster than Qin Chen and his Moving Secret Technique. Even if it encountered the danger of a restriction, the true dragon still had a certain chance of escaping. In the depths of the devil¡¯s den, the demonic path cultivators were still running. They were well aware that the terrifying existence behind them was still chasing after them. If they didn¡¯t run, they would definitely be caught. Though at this point, it was only a matter of time. Unless they could find an extremely dangerous place to hide in, they would not be able to make the other party stop. One of the demonic path cultivators exuded a strong aura of death. He seemed to be a living dead. The aura he emitted was infinitely terrifying. He had already stepped into the God Emperor realm! Chapter 473 - 473 The Terrifying Restriction 473 The Terrifying Restriction The demonic path cultivator had concealed himself very well and disguised himself as a peak Great God-realm cultivator. He was the fastest among the demonic path cultivators and was also the most difficult to deal with. His demonic cultivation technique was different from other demonic path cultivators. Compared to calling his cultivation technique a ¡°demonic cultivation technique¡±, he preferred to call it ¡°witchcraft¡±. He had obtained the inheritance of a great witch. If he did not die this time, he was confident that he would be able to break through beyond the God Emperor in the devil¡¯s den. There were countless supreme treasures in the depths of the devil¡¯s den. If he could find them, he would definitely become even more powerful. However, this was under the premise that he didn¡¯t die. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others discovered a demonic path cultivator whose aura was the weakest but disappeared the fastest. The other party might be a more difficult opponent, so Qin Chen and the others decided to target him first. The true dragon moved forward, avoiding countless terrifying restrictions along the way. They were now getting closer and closer to the most troublesome demonic path cultivator. At the same time, the living dead demonic path cultivator who was still running felt the terrifying aura behind him getting closer and closer! The fluctuation could not be hidden. The demonic path cultivator could clearly sense that it was like the footsteps of the god of death, approaching him step by step! He immediately felt his soul leave his body out of fright, and he began to flee even more frantically. Suddenly, the demonic path cultivator fell into a restriction and was almost cut in half in an instant! If he hadn¡¯t been lucky enough to avoid the restriction just now, he might have been turned into two halves and completely dead by now. It was too terrifying! The demonic path cultivator looked at the terrifying wound on his chest. It had separated his body, leaving only a thin layer of skin and tendons that were connected. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood while he used his secret technique to temporarily suppress his wound as he continued to run forward. Qin Chen and the others arrived at the place where the demonic path cultivator had been injured. Seeing the blood on the ground, Qin Chen shouted to the true dragon, ¡°Hold on, brother dragon. There might be great danger ahead!¡± However, the true dragon did not believe in heresy and continued forward. It was a God Emperor-realm expert. How could it be frightened by a mere restriction? Moreover, with the terrifying speed of a true dragon, how could it not dodge the attack? The true dragon then continued to dash forward crazily, and in an instant, it triggered an extremely well-hidden restriction. A beam of divine light slashed out and instantly injured the true dragon! The true dragon let out a furious roar. Its body was covered in blood, and there was an extremely hideous and huge wound! It had almost cut the true dragon¡¯s huge body open. Everyone gasped. What kind of f*cking restriction was this? It was so terrifying! If Qin Chen and the others were to face the restriction, they would probably be split into two in an instant. The true dragon fell to the ground and turned into its human form, coughing out blood. Its wound was too big, and blood kept gushing out. Qin Chen quickly took a step forward and came to the true dragon¡¯s side. He took out many leaves from the ancient tree of life and attached them to the true dragon¡¯s wound. It took Qin Chen more than twenty leaves from the ancient tree of life to cover the huge wound. Slowly, the true dragon felt that the wound seemed to be healing. The ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves exuded a powerful life force that healed the true dragon¡¯s wound slowly. In an instant, the life force reached the deepest part of the wound and began to heal the true dragon, suppressing its injuries. The blood had stopped flowing, but the true dragon seemed to be unable to move. The restriction in front of them was truly terrifying. He wondered how the demonic path cultivator had managed to break through. Was the latter not afraid of death? No, there was blood on the ground. That demonic path expert must have been severely injured! Furthermore, he definitely couldn¡¯t have gotten far. After all, even the level 6 God Emperor-realm true dragon was injured. Qin Chen narrowed his eyes. It was highly possible that the other party was also an expert in the God Emperor realm! When he thought of this, Qin Chen decided to stop pursuing the other party rashly. After all, the true dragon was already injured. They could only wait for its injuries to heal. In the meantime, they could study how to break the restriction. Otherwise, Qin Chen and the others would not be able to pass through and might even die. The restriction was too terrifying. The big scorpion didn¡¯t dare to get close at all. He simply stood in front of the true dragon. Qin Chen walked over step by step. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and Yuji also became worried. ¡°Elder King, don¡¯t go over!¡± However, Qin Chen just waved his hand, telling them not to worry. After taking another step forward, Qin Chen immediately released the split soul of the Jiuying in his body. He used the Jiuying divine soul to explore the front. The most important thing was to find out where the restriction was. Only by finding out where it was could Qin Chen and the others avoid it. Otherwise, it they didn¡¯t even know where the restriction was, there would most likely die here. As Qin Chen controlled the nine heads of the Jiuying divine soul to probe forward, he suddenly felt a fatal threat in his heart. With that, a sharp divine light instantly chopped off one of the Jiuying heads! Qin Chen immediately felt as if his soul had suffered a heavy blow, and the pain was so intense that he was about to die. He quickly let the Jiuying divine soul return to his body. After the Jiuying divine soul¡¯s head was cut off, soul power was frantically released. If this continued, it would likely cause more serious injuries. Therefore, Qin Chen kept the Jiuying divine soul back into his body and used the soul power of his main body to nourish it and suppress the injury. It was too terrifying! Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with endless fear. He did not expect that this restriction could even cut the divine soul. Just what kind of restriction was this? How could it even kill a God Emperor? If Qin Chen went alone, he was not sure if the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor could protect him. Fortunately, he had the Jiuying divine soul. However, this time, the Jiuying divine soul had been severely injured and one of its heads was cut off. That being said, to Qin Chen¡¯s surprise, after the Jiuying divine soul returned to his body and he swallowed many soul-recovering treasures, the wound on the Jiuying divine soul thus began to heal slowly as if it was about to grow another head! Qin Chen had never expected the Jiuying divine soul to have such a terrifying self-healing ability. Chapter 474 - 474 Demonized Demonic Path Cultivator 474 Demonized Demonic Path Cultivator At this moment, something that even Qin Chen did not expect happened. He did not expect the Jiuying divine soul to have such a powerful self-healing ability. Fortunately, he had managed to find the location of the restriction by sacrificing one of the heads of the Jiuying divine soul. Knowing its location, they could go around it. However, it was clear that Qin Chen¡¯s plan would fail. This time, he walked to the restriction again, took out a magic item, and extended it in front of him. It was destroyed in an instant, leaving only a clean, broken sword. He didn¡¯t expect that even this long sword magic item couldn¡¯t resist the restriction. To think the restriction covered such a huge area! Going around it was definitely not going to work. What should he do? The demonic path cultivator was already far ahead of them. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ hearts were undoubtedly heavy. Could it be that they had no choice but to stop here just like that, unable to advance any further, and could only retreat? No. There must be a way! Qin Chen¡¯s mind raced. He considered everything he could think of. However, he still couldn¡¯t break the restriction. Just how could he do so? Logically speaking, the restriction should be similar to an array, just more terrifying and solely used to kill enemies. It would be extremely difficult to break such a restriction. Following this, Qin Chen tried to send his soul into the ground. He did feel a fluctuation. This underground should be the place where the restriction existed, so how could he break it? Then, Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo and slashed it at the ground. In an instant, a crack appeared on the ground as the innate sword embryo, which was infused with divine power, unleashed its extreme emperor¡¯s might and sent out a wave of chaotic sword energy! The crack was a thousand feet deep, and he could clearly feel the place where the restriction existed. In other words, as long as Qin Chen could break the restriction, they would be able to continue moving forward. Even if they didn¡¯t want to pursue the demonic path cultivator, they had to break the restriction to find the demonic sunflower. Once again, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and slashed out. Unfortunately, the restriction was extremely hard. Even the terrifying chaotic sword energy from the innate sword embryo could not break it. God knows how this restriction was formed and how powerful the expert must have been to set it up. Qin Chen felt a wave of powerlessness. He had no way of breaking the restriction. Then, he set his eyes on the true dragon in the distance. Only the true dragon could possibly break the restriction. After all, the true dragon was a level six God Emperor. If it were to make a move, its attack would definitely be more powerful than Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic sword energy, which meant it had a slight chance of breaking the restriction. However, the true dragon had been severely injured. No matter how fast it recovered, it was still too heavily injured and could not move just yet. He had no choice but to wait patiently for the true dragon to recover. Only after the true dragon recovered could the restriction be broken. Qin Chen and the others waited. Qin Chen took out another branch of the ancient tree of life and let the true dragon refine it. This way, the true dragon¡¯s wound could be quickly healed. The true dragon didn¡¯t decline. This was a critical moment, and it thus took the ancient tree of life¡¯s branch and refined it. Half a day had passed, and the true dragon had finally recovered seventy to eighty percent. However, its wound had not fully healed yet. If it forced itself to make a move, it might tear the wound open again. That being said, time was of the essence, so he could only brace himself. The true dragon form transformed back into its original form and clawed out! The attack launched by the true dragon was extremely powerful. Its dragon claw seemed to have condensed an invisible divine light that ruthlessly attacked the restriction. The moment the restriction was attacked, it gave off a strong vibration. Suddenly, a terrifying attack was triggered. Fortunately, it was triggered upwards, so it did not hurt Qin Chen and the others. The true dragon attacked once again. This time, it used all its strength to strike out with its claw! With that, the true dragon¡¯s claw attack shook the restriction. But at the same time, the wounds on its body were torn open again, and blood flowed out! Qin Chen hurriedly took out the leaves of the ancient tree of life again and had the true dragon apply them to the wound. The true dragon transformed back into its human form and began healing its injuries once more with the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. As for Qin Chen, he stood in front of the restriction. It seemed that the restriction would not last much longer. He said to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion, ¡°Let¡¯s attack together!¡± With that, the crowd rushed over and frantically bombarded the restriction with their attacks. In an instant, the restriction exploded with a shocking fluctuation as if the earth was about to collapse. It was terrifying! Everyone was shocked. They didn¡¯t expect the restriction to be so powerful. God knows how the demonic path cultivator managed to get past the restriction without dying. One had to know that even the incomparably powerful true dragon, a level 6 God Emperor, had been severely injured. One could only imagine how terrifying the restriction was. With Qin Chen and the others¡¯ persistent efforts, the core of the restriction was finally destroyed. In an instant, an even more terrifying power erupted, causing Qin Chen and the others to be sent flying to the side before they could react. However, at the same time, the restriction also exploded! In other words, the restriction before them had finally been completely destroyed! Now, they were able to move forward again. No one knew what kind of terrifying and dangerous restrictions lay ahead, but they couldn¡¯t let that demonic path cultivator go. Qin Chen and the others immediately chased after the other party. At the same time, the true dragon followed them while maintaining its lowest speed to prevent its wounds from tearing open. As the group moved forward, Qin Chen released the Jiuying divine soul, whose wound had almost healed, to explore the way ahead. Qin Chen could feel that the head of the Jiuying would grow back before long. As the Jiuying divine soul continued to move forward, it also detected many restrictions, helping Qin Chen and the others to avoid them. Fortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul was not injured again, because the restrictions were not like the one they had just encountered, which could target the divine soul. Qin Chen and the others rushed to the front and saw the demonic path cultivator in a distance. At this moment, the demonic path cultivator seemed to have been demonized. His body was emitting a powerful demonic energy, and his eyes had lost their light and turned entirely black. He turned around and stared at Qin Chen. Chapter 475 - 475 The Demon Gods Blood 475 The Demon God¡¯s Blood Apparently, the demonic path cultivator seemed to have lost his mind. In an instant, he unleashed his strength and charged toward Qin Chen and the others. Even though he was only at level 1 of the God Emperor realm, he was still extremely powerful. At this moment, the true dragon had yet to recover from its serious injuries, so Qin Chen could only face the opponent first. What made Qin Chen and the others bewildered was why this level 1 God Emperor demonic path cultivator had gone crazy. They didn¡¯t know what was going on, so they looked over. There seemed to be a stone tablet which the demonic path cultivator had rushed over from. It was precisely the aura from the stone tablet that had affected the level 1 God Emperor-realm demonic path cultivator and caused him to be demonized. What the hell was that stone tablet? Qin Chen and the rest had never heard of something so terrifying that it could actually cause a God Emperor-realm expert to unknowingly go berserk, turning them into a walking corpse that had lost its mind. In other words, this fellow was now an unparalleled threat to Qin Chen and the others. After all, the other party had gone completely mad. Qin Chen and the others surrounded the demonic path cultivator and attacked him wildly. Qin Chen rushed to the front and blocked the attack of the demonic path cultivator. The demonic path cultivator was like a living dead. He did not feel pain and simply kept attacking Qin Chen and the others. However, Qin Chen still managed to block all the attacks with his Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. He quickly consumed a few leaves from the ancient tree of life to recover from his injuries. After being hit by the other party¡¯s terrifying attacks, Qin Chen once again felt as if his internal organs were about to be torn apart. Yet, he couldn¡¯t take a step back now, because if he did, Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the big scorpion would all be in trouble. The big scorpion roared, ¡°Watch as your grandpa scorpion annihilates you today!¡± With that, the big scorpion slashed out blade rays at the demonized demonic path cultivator. It was a pity that he was only in the God realm, so he couldn¡¯t unleash much power. Yuji kept attacking as well, but her attacks didn¡¯t hurt the cultivator at all. She couldn¡¯t cause him much damage. Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s attacks were effective against the opponent and she soon left a deep wound on the opponent¡¯s body. But even so, she couldn¡¯t stop this guy. The true dragon could only watch from behind, not daring to move recklessly. It didn¡¯t know how long it would take for it to recover if the wound was torn open again. It had already wasted quite a number of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. They were very precious items that decreased with each usage. Therefore, the true dragon followed closely behind Qin Chen, constantly sending out hand seals to give the opponent some trouble. Although the demonic path cultivator had been demonized and was no longer conscious, he wasn¡¯t a fool. He wouldn¡¯t just stand there and let everyone attack him. He constantly changed his position and instinctively dodged some of the fatal attacks. At this moment, Qin Chen was already spitting out blood. He could feel that he would not be able to hold on much longer. He didn¡¯t know how the demonic path cultivator had been affected by the stone tablet to become so terrifying. Even the demonic path cultivator himself couldn¡¯t control the demonic energy he was emitting. It was very likely that this demonic energy had ultimately caused this demonic path cultivator to end up in such a miserable state. Then, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and infused his divine power into it. In an instant, a shocking emperor¡¯s might burst out and he slashed forward! The chaotic sword energy landed on the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body and cut his arm. It was a pity that this fellow was a living corpse. His physical strength was extremely terrifying. The attacks of Qin Chen and the others could only cause superficial wounds to the other party. They could not suppress him. With no other choice, Qin Chen could only retreat as he attacked. Unexpectedly, after a few changes in position, the demonic path cultivator had somehow forced Qin Chen near the stone tablet without him knowing! In an instant, Qin Chen had a bad feeling. If this continued, he would probably end up like this demonic path cultivator. He immediately thought of an idea and charged at the demonic path cultivator, trying to force the latter back. With that, he could get away from the stone tablet. Unfortunately, the demonic path cultivator punched Qin Chen¡¯s chest instead, and the latter was severely injured in an instant! Qin Chen was bleeding from his eyes, nose, and ears. The attack was too terrifying, and his internal organs could not take it. He swallowed a few more leaves from the ancient tree of life, but unfortunately, he had already crashed into the stone tablet. In an instant, the stone tablet emitted a terrifying fluctuation! ¡°Not good!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. Was he going to end up like the demonic path cultivator? Then, Qin Chen heard the system¡¯s voice coming from his body. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] To think this stone tablet contained an extremely powerful divinity. Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. This stone tablet must be extraordinary. At this moment, he could almost guess what kind of situation he would face later. It was very likely that he would be affected by the stone tablet and also be demonized. In that instant, he roared in his heart without hesitating, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully signed in to the demon race¡¯s divine monument. You¡¯ve obtained the Demon God¡¯s blood!] [Demon God¡¯s Blood: Blood left behind by an expert who is comparable to an ancient great emperor. It can temporarily stimulate the user¡¯s demonic nature and transform the user into a member of the demon race upon consumption.] Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. If he could transform into a demon, he would definitely be able to resist the demonic energy brought by the stone tablet. At the thought of this, he swallowed the terrifying drop of blood that had appeared in his hand without hesitation. This was the Demon God¡¯s blood. In an instant, Qin Chen felt as if his body was about to explode! The terrifying blood contained an unknown amount of terrifying power. It made Qin Chen feel as if his body was about to explode. Fortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s body had long become the unique Chaotic Divine Body, so he could barely resist it. In an instant, demonic energy burst out from the stone tablet behind Qin Chen and enveloped him! In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes turned black, and he lost consciousness. It was extremely terrifying. At this moment, he seemed to have lost consciousness and had been demonized. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others cried out in alarm, ¡°Elder King!¡± The true dragon couldn¡¯t care less about its injuries and immediately flew forward. Chapter 476 - 476 Fortune and Misfortune Come Hand in Hand 476 Fortune and Misfortune Come Hand in Hand ¡°Not good! With the Elder King in this state, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll end up like that demonic path cultivator.¡± In an instant, Qin Chen could feel that the demonic energy in the body of the demonic path cultivator in front of him seemed to be out of control and was rushing toward him. What was going on? Qin Chen seemed to have lost consciousness in an instant. His consciousness hadn¡¯t gone into slumber. Instead, it was suppressed within his body and protected by the Chaos Divine Ring. This was the only way to prevent Qin Chen from being demonized and ending up like the demonic path cultivator. Now, the demonic energy from the demonic path cultivator seemed to be out of control and was all rushing toward Qin Chen. It should be known that that was demonic energy that could even demonize a God Emperor expert. The amount was huge and was instantly absorbed into Qin Chen¡¯s body. In an instant, Qin Chen felt as if his body was about to explode. He had just swallowed the Demon God¡¯s blood who was a peerless expert that was on par with ancient great emperors. The power of the blood was naturally self-evident. The power that this drop of blood could contain was so ridiculously strong that it could even turn Qin Chen into a demon temporarily. It was also because Qin Chen had become a ¡°legitimate member¡± of the demon race that he had triggered the stone tablet and absorbed all the demonic energy in the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body. The demonic energy seemed to have found its master and rushed into Qin Chen¡¯s body from the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body. In an instant, the demonic path cultivator lost all life force and turned into a dried corpse. The life force in his body had been taken away by the demonic energy and entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen could feel his body becoming extremely powerful. Wisps of demonic energy emerged from his body, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of his Chaotic Divine Body. Demonic energy appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s body like a spider web as if his body had been torn apart by the energy. Everyone was shocked. Even the true dragon could not get close to Qin Chen. This was because the demonic energy that Qin Chen was emitting was too terrifying. If it insisted on getting close, it would likely also be infected by the demonic energy that would corrode its body. At that time, it was afraid that it would be demonized on the spot. How could this place be so terrifying? Just a stone tablet had managed to give Qin Chen and the others such a big shock. It made them feel as if they had fallen into an unfathomable abyss, unable to escape. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others did not dare to get close to Qin Chen either. Qin Chen¡¯s current appearance was extremely strange. He seemed to be floating in the air while surrounded by boundless demonic energy. The never-ending demonic energy was still flowing out of the stone tablet and into Qin Chen¡¯s body. If this went on, even if Qin Chen was demonized, his body would likely explode from the energy. If that happened, he would die without a doubt, and there would be no possibility of saving him. ¡°Detestable!¡± The big scorpion clenched his fists. Qin Chen had been his life-and-death friend and had saved him from many near-death situations. How could he bear to see Qin Chen die like this? ¡°Elder King, I¡¯ll return my life to you!¡± With that, the big scorpion suddenly unleashed his strength and rushed toward Qin Chen. He wanted to drag the latter out, regardless of the consequences. At this moment, Qin Chen was enveloped by demonic energy. If this continued, he would definitely die. The big scorpion decided to sacrifice himself. Even if he was demonized in the end, he would bring the Elder King out of the demonic energy. At the thought of this, he charged at Qin Chen recklessly. Even Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the true dragon could not stop him. The big scorpion rushed into the demonic energy, and in an instant, the demonic energy tried to burrow into his body like countless small insects. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes instantly turned red from the provocation, and he panted heavily. He grabbed Qin Chen and wanted to bring him out of this area. Only then would the latter have a chance of survival. Qin Chen gritted his teeth. He could feel that the big scorpion wanted to take him out. However, the demonic energy did not have eyes. If the big scorpion touched him and entered the demonic energy area, he would definitely be demonized. With that, he relaxed his body even more to attract the boundless demonic energy. This way, the big scorpion should not be eroded by the demonic energy. The big scorpion could feel that the demonic energy suddenly seemed to be avoiding him. His mind cleared and he worked to bring Qin Chen out. He grabbed Qin Chen with both hands and rushed out madly, finally bringing Qin Chen far away from the stone tablet. At this moment, the big scorpion was also exhausted. He had just felt the horror of the demonic energy, and he had almost been demonized. Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was currently suffering from great pain because there was too much demonic energy flowing in his body. If the big scorpion hadn¡¯t helped by bringing him out of the area, it was very likely that the stone tablet would continue to generate endless demonic energy. By then, even if Qin Chen had the Chaos Divine Ring to protect his divine soul, his body might explode after being demonized. In that were to happen, even the ancient tree of life would not be able to save him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly refined the demonic energy in his body. All he could do now was to refine the energy but not expel it from his body. This was because the demonic energy was currently like something that originally existed in his body. The energy had no way out. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the Demon God¡¯s blood had temporarily turned him into a member of the demon race. He had to seize the time to refine the boundless demonic energy. Otherwise, once the Demon God¡¯s blood lost its effect and he returned to his human body, he would definitely be corroded by the endless demonic energy. Qin Chen gritted his teeth and began to refine the demonic energy. This was a huge project because the demonic energy in his body had been compressed to an unimaginable level. All the demonic energy in that region had been absorbed by Qin Chen. If Qin Chen released all the demonic energy in his body, it would probably cover a large area. For ordinary human cultivators, even a wisp of such pure demonic energy would almost kill them. Yet, Qin Chen had absorbed so much demonic energy. Seeing that Qin Chen¡¯s condition wasn¡¯t too good, the true dragon and the others didn¡¯t know what method they should use to make him regain consciousness. No one could expel the demonic energy in Qin Chen¡¯s body. Slowly, Qin Chen¡¯s body began emitting fluctuations and his cultivation seemed to be constantly rising. Immediately, everyone was surprised. Could it be that Qin Chen still retained his consciousness? Chapter 477 - 477 The Holy Son of the Devil Race 477 The Holy Son of the Devil Race Qin Chen could feel that his cultivation seemed to be constantly improving as he refined the pure demonic energy. It was very likely that he would break through after completing the refinement. However, at this moment, Qin Chen grew increasingly terrified instead, because the demonic energy he had refined was like a drop in the ocean. If this continued, he would not be able to refine all of the demonic energy by the time the Demon God¡¯s blood¡¯s effects wore off. At that time, he would definitely die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to refine the energy like crazy. The demonic energy in his body turned into pure energy and entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. Only by refining a small amount of it, Qin Chen¡¯s realm was already improving and breaking through at a rapid pace. No one knew why Qin Chen had become like this. At that moment, the blood-colored token on Qin Chen¡¯s body suddenly trembled. In the devil¡¯s den, the human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon was extremely shocked. Through his token, he could sense that Qin Chen had actually triggered the devil race¡¯s divine monument! It should be known that only pure-blooded and extremely talented members of the devil race could trigger the devil race¡¯s divine monument. The devil race¡¯s divine monument contained a large amount of pure demonic energy. It was definitely a great fortune! Whoever could obtain these fortunes would definitely have great achievements in the future and become a peerless expert. This was the most precious sacred object in the devil¡¯s den. He did not expect that Qin Chen and the others would be able to activate the devil race¡¯s divine monument so easily. The human-shaped being in the blood-red cocoon was extremely shocked. Could this human cultivator be of the devil race? His heart was filled with complicated emotions. One had to know that not only had the human cultivator possessed Jiuying¡¯s divine soul, but he had also revealed the extremely powerful bloodline power of the devil race. Otherwise, he would not have been able to trigger the devil race¡¯s divine monument. The human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon was extremely shocked. Thinking of this, he sighed heavily and became excited. ¡°In that case, this child is a member of my devil race!¡± The human-shaped being inside the blood-red cocoon was a powerful devil race patriarch. He could be considered one the most powerful experts of the devil race. It was thanks to his terrifying strength that he was able to survive the great battle back then. He had even used a heaven-defying technique to extend his lifespan and survive till this era, avoiding the erosion of time. He laughed out loud, ¡°So my devil race has a worthy successor!¡± The current devil race had already suffered a great loss of vitality and was almost extinct in this cosmic. Only a small number of devil race members were living in hiding in a small world for survival. The being didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to meet a powerful, talented devil in the devil¡¯s den in the outside world who knew countless secrets. This was simply too much of a surprise for him. If he could properly train this junior, the latter would definitely become of great help to him while under his command. If they were in the primordial era when the devils were at their peak, Qin Chen would have been crowned as the Holy Son of the devils! It was just that it was very difficult to find such a peerless talent among the devils now. The human-shaped creature in the red cocoon laughed loudly, ¡°The heavens do not want to exterminate us devils! The heavens have mercy!¡± Compared to the continuation of a race, it was more important to have a strong leader who could lead the race. Without such an expert, no matter how large the race was, it would gradually wither away. In the heart of the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon, he had long determined that Qin Chen was the Holy Son of the devil race. The devil race had countless Holy Maidens and Holy Sons back in the primordial era. But that was a thousand years ago. And now, someone who was comparable to the Holy Son of the devil race had appeared, which naturally made the old ancestor of the devil race in the blood-red cocoon ecstatic. This was a form of acknowledgment. He immediately decided that no matter what kind of danger Qin Chen encountered, as long as the latter crushed the blood-red token, he would protect Qin Chen no matter the price. If a Holy Son of the devil race could return to the devil race, it would definitely boost the race¡¯s morale. Furthermore, Qin Chen would definitely become an omnipotent expert in the future, though he was still very weak now. Although Qin Chen brought a lot of surprises to the human-shaped devil race patriarch inside the blood-red cocoon, the world was about to be plunged into great chaos in this era, and perhaps the devil race would reappear as well. If this junior had been given more time to grow, how good would that be? In the face of destiny, no one could stop the wheel of fate. Now, Qin Chen had broken through to level 5 of the God realm, but there was still a sea of pure demonic energy in his body. It was like a time bomb. Qin Chen did not know when the effect of the Demon God¡¯s blood he had swallowed would disappear. At that time, he would most likely die. His body would instantly explode from the demonic energy, and he would ultimately be demonized. What should he do? Qin Chen was almost going crazy. He was like a little white mouse that knew when he would die. He was extremely uneasy. At the moment, he really had no way to expel the demonic energy from his body. Then, Qin Chen seemed to have admitted defeat. Since he couldn¡¯t refine all the demonic energy, he might as well not do it for now. He wanted to see if there were any other ways to guide the pure demonic energy out of his body. He began to observe the boundless pure demonic energy in his body. He wanted to force the demonic energy out of his body, but it was not easy. The demonic energy was eroding and nourishing his Chaotic Divine Body, wanting to transform his body into that of a devil. One must know that this was absolutely unacceptable. If Qin Chen¡¯s body transformed into that of a devil, he would lose the powerful strength of the Chaotic Divine Body. Moreover, the devil race and its inheritance had long disappeared from this world and were nowhere to be found in the cosmic. It was all because he had the Chaotic Divine Body that he was able to cultivate the Chaotic Imperial Scripture left behind by the Chaotic heavenly Emperor and control the innate sword embryo. Therefore, he would never allow his body to turn into one of a devil. Then, he looked at the countless apertures in his body. The pure and terrifying demonic energy that had been released from the stone tablet had entered Qin Chen¡¯s body through his 108 apertures. If he wanted to expel the pure demonic energy from his body, he could only do so through the one hundred and eight apertures. However, Qin Chen had never practiced any physical cultivation techniques related to acupuncture points. He didn¡¯t know how to open the aperture acupoints. Unfortunately, now that the situation had reached such a critical moment, he could only stake it all and just do it. Chapter 478 - 478 Aperture Acupoint Technique 478 Aperture Acupoint Technique Therefore, he tried to open up his acupoints, but the process was extremely difficult. Qin Chen did not know how to do it. If he was not careful, he could destroy his acupuncture points. If that happened, his Chaotic Divine Body would be severely damaged and he might no longer be able to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate. Therefore, Qin Chen was very careful at the moment, for fear of destroying his acupoints. The human body had one hundred and eight acupuncture points, and each played a huge role. It was because of these acupoints that the human body was turned into a heaven-and-earth array that could absorb spiritual energy and cultivate it. When many cultivators lost an arm or a part of their body, their strength would be greatly reduced, and even their realm would be weakened. The reason for this was that their acupuncture points had been destroyed. As a result, the array in the human body had been affected, causing them to be unable to continue absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and thus unable to cultivate. These 108 acupoints were like a treasure map. If anyone could discover the secret within, they would naturally be able to unlock the shackles on the human body. The method to unravel the secrets behind the acupoints was to cultivate the physical body cultivation technique for the 108 acupoints in the body. That was why experts who had cultivated the techniques of the physical body and refined their acupoints to the point of having holy bodies could be comparable to experts who cultivated divine power. At that time, each of the 108 acupoints in their bodies would be like a bottomless pit that could provide them with endless blood energy. Only by making their bodies extremely terrifying could they suppress cultivators who cultivated divine power. In the primordial era, physical cultivators had been on par with cultivators who cultivated divine power. But now, physical cultivators had declined. For example, the human race¡¯s holy bodies had an extremely glorious past in the primordial era. Those with such bodies could even unleash a battle prowess that was not weaker than that of an ancient great emperor. It was a pity that the path of the supreme physical body cultivation techniques had been severed. Now, humans had one of the most crippled bodies in the world. It was obviously a fool¡¯s dream for Qin Chen to master the method of unlocking acupoints unless a miracle happened. At this moment, Qin Chen felt a strange fluctuation in his acupoints. The fluctuation allowed him to mobilize the blood energy in his body. He was pleasantly surprised. Could he have accidentally found a way to open up his acupoints? When he thought of this, he became excited and tried to continue triggering the fluctuations that had just been born from his acupoints. Soon after, the acupoints in his body began to tremble, and a strange fluctuation was emitted. The true dragon and the others who were guarding him were shocked. They did not know why the blood energy in the Elder King¡¯s body seemed to be boiling after he fainted. Qin Chen was still trying to figure out the cultivation technique for the 108 acupoints in his body. Although Qin Chen had only obtained countless secret manuals, supernormal knowledge, and cultivation techniques thanks to the check-in system, his talent was not weak. Through the cultivation of these supreme cultivation techniques, he comprehended a vast number of techniques. If he could combine them, he would definitely be able to figure out the cultivation technique for these 108 acupoints. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was extremely excited and began to try to open up the acupoints in his body. Soon, a second acupoint began to vibrate as well, forming a strange power. It was thanks to this power that Qin Chen could control his blood energy to burst out freely. In other words, if this continued, Qin Chen would be able to open up all 108 acupoints once he achieved his current level for all of them. Then, he could use the natural array in the human body to expel the pure demonic energy from his body. Only in this way would he be able to keep his life. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to cultivate madly. He seemed to have found a pattern. One should know that this was a technique to cultivate one hundred and eight acupoints in the human body. If it could be passed down, it would definitely become a supreme technique to cultivate the physical body. Sensing the abnormal fluctuations in Qin Chen¡¯s body, the big scorpion and the others were shocked. Could it be that Elder King was undergoing a complete transformation and would be reborn? There was still a large amount of pure demonic energy in Qin Chen¡¯s body. Just the fluctuations that it emitted were enough to make everyone tremble in fear. However, very quickly, a force appeared in his body to resist it. It was the blood energy that Qin Chen had triggered from refining his acupoints. With the power of these acupoints, Qin Chen might be able to expel the pure demonic energy from his body. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen finally completed the cultivation of all 108 acupoints in his body! All of them achieved resonance. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s body burst out with terrifying blood energy, which made people tremble with fear. It was as if they were facing an ancient beast! ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what was happening to Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes flew open. In an instant, he had regained control of his body. Following this, Qin Chen opened his mouth, and countless demonic energy gushed out of his seven orifices, gushing into the sky. The pure demonic energy in his body decreased. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, all the demonic energy in Qin Chen¡¯s body was released. The demonic energy was like the wind that had no place to return to. It landed on the ground and sunk back into the devil¡¯s den. Everyone was terrified, and the true dragon hurriedly roared, ¡°Quickly block the demonic energy! You must not let it enter your body!¡± Everyone only managed to dispel the demonic energy around them after much difficulty. As for Qin Chen, he had already broken through to level 5 of the God realm, and his aura had become even more terrifying! Just refining a small amount of pure demonic energy had been enough for him to break through one level. It was conceivable that if he refined all the demonic energy that had been in his body just now, he would probably be able to surpass the God realm and break through to the Great God realm. However, the price he had to pay to do so was too heavy. It was very likely that after the effect of the Demon God¡¯s blood in Qin Chen¡¯s body disappeared, his body would be corroded by the boundless demonic energy in his body, and he would eventually explode. Now, Qin Chen was gasping for air, exhausted. Chapter 479 - 479 The Baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation 479 The Baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation The aura Qin Chen exuded gradually weakened, and the fluctuations of the devil race also gradually disappeared. Finally, the effect of the Demon God¡¯s blood disappeared. Qin Chen was no longer a member of the devil race and had returned to being a human. He panted heavily. He had almost been unable to make it in time. If he had not been fast enough and hadn¡¯t been able to expel the pure demonic energy from his body in time, perhaps, his body would already have been completely blown apart by the demonic energy by now. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. Fortunately, he had managed to survive. At this moment, Qin Chen discovered that he could fully control the terrifying blood energy in his body, making his strength even more powerful. His physical body had become increasingly terrifying, causing everyone to feel frightened. They wondered what was going on with the Elder King. Qin Chen let out a breath of turbid air. His entire body was extremely relaxed. Without the pressure of death, he felt much more relaxed. Holy Maiden Mu Xue hurriedly asked, ¡°Elder King, are you injured?¡± Qin Chen shook his head. Not only was he uninjured, but he had even broken through a level. He then looked up at the sky. His breakthrough triggered the heavenly tribulation. In the sky above the devil¡¯s den, heavenly tribulation was descending, and countless dark clouds gathered. No corner of the cosmic could escape the Heavenly Dao. As soon as Qin Chen broke through, he would immediately attract the heavenly tribulation. At this moment, the raging heavenly tribulation in the sky seemed to be more powerful than before. However, Qin Chen had already mastered the physical cultivation technique of the acupoints, which made him even more terrifying. He looked up at the golden God formed by the descending lightning, fearless. The descent of the heavenly tribulation in this place was undoubtedly a great intimidation to the devil¡¯s den. The demonic energy hid, deliberately avoiding the power of the heavenly tribulation because the latter was just too pure. If the demonic energy came into contact with it, it would very likely disappear. Qin Chen looked at the golden God in the sky and laughed. Then, he rushed into the sky with his Moving Secret Technique and tore through the void. He was up against the golden God. This golden God seemed to have become even more terrifying. He was holding a long spear in his hand as he stared at Qin Chen. In an instant, he locked onto Qin Chen and even sealed the void. Qin Chen had no way of escaping. Then, the golden God thrust out his spear. This spear seemed to carry an extremely terrifying true intent as it attacked Qin Chen. Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo in his hand and poured his divine power into it. In an instant, a terrifying emperor¡¯s might burst out and pressed forward. His Chaotic Divine Body was also operating to the extreme, and there seemed to be heavens seemed to be roaring. At the same time, Qin Chen activated all the power of his acupoints. The terrifying blood energy in his body turned into rich energy. Facing the attack of the golden God, Qin Chen attacked head-on. Qin Chen slashed out with his sword, and the chaotic sword energy condensed into a heaven-reaching great ravager, which collided with the huge spear light of the opponent¡¯s spear. In an instant, it formed a terrifying explosion that shocked the true dragon, who was at level 6 of the God Emperor realm. It did not expect the Elder King¡¯s advancement to be so terrifying. It could see that not only had Qin Chen¡¯s current realm increased, but his body had also become stronger. The golden God seemed to have been enraged. A more terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation poured down from the dark clouds, entering the body of the golden God. Then, the golden God became even more terrifying. The heavens seemed to be abruptly shaken as he once again thrust his spear at Qin Chen. Qin Chen roared and immediately put away his innate sword embryo. Then, he activated the 108 acupoints he had just unlocked and pushed his physical cultivation technique to the extreme. The blood energy in his body gushed out like a divine mist, condensing into a layer of armor on Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen performed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. This time, his grasp of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist¡¯s power had further improved. The battle prowess he released was even more terrifying. It was like a destructive aura, turning the void in front of him into chaos. The fist smashed toward the spear light, instantly tearing it apart and hitting the golden God. With that, the golden God formed by the power of the heavenly tribulation exploded, unable to withstand the terrifying power. One had to know that the fist technique was a celestial technique that was extinct in this world. In this cosmic, it was a forbidden existence. With just one punch, that terrifying God expert was shattered. The Heavenly Dao seemed to have become even crazier, sending increasing bolts of lightning to kill Qin Chen. The lightning bolts glowed with a golden light, causing the entire devil¡¯s den to shake. One could only imagine how terrifying the attacks were! Qin Chen was not afraid at all. He immediately threw out another punch, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist smashed toward the dark cloud. In the midst of the countless thunderbolts, a brilliant path to the heavens was created. The dark clouds were destroyed straight away as if they had never existed or appeared. Such a terrifying scene caused everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble. The Elder King¡¯s strength was becoming more and more unfathomable. No one knew how he had done it. After that, Qin Chen soared into the sky in an even more terrifying manner. He wanted to plunder the remaining heavenly tribulation to baptize his body and benefit himself. A lot of the power of the heavenly tribulation was still hidden in the dark clouds that had just been scattered, all of which were plundered by Qin Chen. The countless heavenly tribulations covered Qin Chen¡¯s body, and the sound of thunder could be heard. Qin Chen immediately roared and resisted the attack. At the same time, his body, which had been baptized by the heavenly tribulation, became even more terrifying. It was as if it was coated with a layer of starlight, making it look extremely divine. At this moment, Qin Chen had officially stepped into level 5 of the God realm, which made Holy Maiden Mu Xue, a Great God realm cultivator, secretly exclaim in amazement in her heart. In her entire life, Qin Chen was the only one she knew could do this. Just his talent alone was already comparable to the young ancient great emperors. At this moment, Qin Chen descended from the nine Heavens, using the Moving Secret Technique to tear apart the void and return to the ground. Looking at the crowd, he was also extremely excited. If this continued, he would definitely become stronger and stronger. With that, he would have nothing to fear of the chaos that was about to happen in the world. Chapter 480 - 480 Netherworld Eyes 480 Netherworld Eyes Then, Qin Chen looked at the stele. One should know that this was the supreme treasure of the devil race, the demonic divine monument. It had an unparalleled power and was unfathomable. Even Qin Chen was extremely afraid of it. After that, everyone turned around and left. Qin Chen did not want to get close to the demonic divine monument again. In any case, he did not have a second drop of the Demon God¡¯s blood. It was very likely that the demonic energy that surged out would cause him to go berserk and demonize instantly. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led the group away to find the remaining demonic path cultivators. Qin Chen would not feel at ease if he did not exterminate those little bugs. Everyone followed Qin Chen and left. They traveled forward. Along the way, the Jiuying divine soul released by Qin Chen helped them avoid many restrictions. Soon, they found a devil race expert who was in a rather miserable state, only half alive. Half of the other party¡¯s body seemed to have been torn off by a mysterious force and he looked extremely ghastly. At this moment, when the devil race expert saw Qin Chen and the others, his heart trembled with fear. He didn¡¯t expect that these terrifying beings would still be chasing after him to kill him. The cultivator then made his final struggle and launched an attack. Unfortunately, in front of Qin Chen and the others, this severely injured cultivator who was on the verge of death was like an ordinary person, easily killed by the former. There shouldn¡¯t be many demonic path cultivators left. Qin Chen only detected two weak auras through his powerful spiritual will. After killing the two demonic path cultivators, they could try to explore the depths of the devil¡¯s den in search of opportunities and find the whereabouts of the demonic sunflower. One should know that those were demonic sunflowers. They might be able to help Qin Chen and the others increase their cultivation again. At the same time, Qin Chen also discovered a problem. It seemed that many of the acupoints in his body needed to be replenished with energy. Qin Chen took out a leaf from the ancient tree of life and swallowed it. He was instantly shocked. This was because the life force contained in the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaf was extremely massive, but it was gone so easily. The 108 acupoints were like bottomless pits. Qin Chen had to use large amounts of natural treasures to replenish the blood energy he had consumed. Qin Chen immediately felt a headache. If he wanted to recover the blood energy of the 108 acupoints that he had used up, how many heavenly treasures would he need? It was no wonder that cultivators who cultivated the acupoints technique declined. So it turned out they needed a huge number of heavenly treasures to continue their cultivation. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed. He had no choice but to swallow a few more leaves from the ancient tree of life before most of the blood energy in his acupoints was recovered. After that, Qin Chen and the others continued forward, trying to find and kill the remaining two demonic path cultivators. At this moment, they had arrived in front of a large hall. The hall seemed to be extremely terrifying. The aura contained within it made everyone¡¯s heart palpitate. ¡°What is this place?¡± The aura of one of the remaining demonic path cultivators was in there. Qin Chen and the others could feel that the demonic path cultivator was getting stronger. Could it be that there was some kind of opportunity? To think it could raise the other party¡¯s cultivation even at this moment. Qin Chen and the others carefully approached the palace. The hall did not reject Qin Chen and the others. Perhaps it was because the battle was too intense that the hall had used up all its reserves to preserve its entirety. Qin Chen and the rest approached the hall, and Qin Chen pushed open the bronze door with both hands. An indescribable fluctuation burst out. Qin Chen could feel an unknown amount of demonic energy rushing out wildly. One could only imagine what kind of terrifying realm the demonic path cultivator would reach if he refined all of the demonic energy. That being said, the demonic energy here could not be compared to the pure demonic energy released by the demonic divine monument. The demonic energy here was extremely chaotic with many impurities. As expected, Qin Chen heard the system¡¯s voice in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] As expected of the devil¡¯s den which was an ancient battlefield left behind from ancient times. It had countless places left with powerful divinity. Qin Chen immediately muttered in his heart to check in, and the system instantly responded. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in at the land where the ancient Demon God died. You have obtained the Netherworld Eyes!] [Netherworld Eyes: A pair of eyes that was cultivated by the ancient Demon God in the primordial era. They have the power to control people¡¯s minds and peep at the power of fate. Even the dead dark race will be affected by the Netherworld Eye. As the host¡¯s strength grows stronger, you will be able to control these experts.] Qin Chen did not expect to obtain a pair of divine eyes by checking in. Although they were the demonic eyes of the ancient Demon God in the primordial era, they did contain great power. To think the eyes could even control other experts. What a terrifying eye! However, what kind of race was the dark race? To think it could be mentioned by the system. In this world, he had only heard of the devil race as well as many other special races. He had never heard of the dark race. Then, Qin Chen could feel that an eye seemed to have grown on his forehead! Blood flowed from his forehead and dripped down his nose, and a pair of terrifying divine eyes appeared. Just by looking into these eyes, they could produce great pressure and exude a powerful might. At this moment, Qin Chen was like an ancient devil. Everyone was frightened, not knowing why he had become like this. Qin Chen tried to activate the eyes, and the Netherworld Eyes instantly pierced through the void. Following this, he saw something indescribable, as well as many experts from the past. Those experts in the long river of history seemed to have sensed something and looked at Qin Chen. In an instant, Qin Chen was so frightened that he stopped using the divine eyes. He panted heavily and retracted his spiritual will. The crack on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead healed, and the divine eyes disappeared as if they had never appeared. The big scorpion was extremely shocked, ¡°Elder King, you seem to have grown a third eye on your face. Could you have turned into some kind of monster?¡± Qin Chen shook his head, wishing he could kick the big scorpion away. Chapter 481 - 481 Who Are you? 481 Who Are you? Qin Chen explained that the Netherworld Eye was nothing, and it would not hurt him. With that, everyone¡¯s worries were relieved. The scene just now was truly too shocking, so much so that the big scorpion almost cried out. The Elder King was clearly a human, but to think a third eye would grow on his forehead. The big scorpion was given quite the fright. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with fear, and it took him some time to finally recover. When he used the Netherworld Eye, he seemed to have seen something unusual. To think he could even see the dead experts in the long river of time. Furthermore, those peerless experts seemed to have sensed him and looked at him. Just the pressure from those glances almost made Qin Chen lose control and feel like his body was about to explode. Fortunately, he retracted his spiritual will in time and closed his Netherworld Eye. In the hall, they saw a stone chair. The demonic path cultivator they had been after was sitting on the stone chair. He seemed to be cultivating in seclusion and did not sense the arrival of Qin Chen and the others at all. His eyes were closed, and everyone could only feel that his cultivation was constantly breaking through. If this continued, it was very likely that he would break through to a higher realm and become even more powerful when he woke up. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others had already tracked him down and discovered him. For some unknown reason, the demonic path cultivator suddenly felt a sense of danger. As such, he opened his eyes with great difficulty. But when he saw Qin Chen and the others, he immediately closed his eyes. ¡°Is this guy not afraid of death?¡± The big scorpion was a little angry. What did the other party mean by this? Could it be that he was looking down on them? The demonic path cultivator was only at level 8 of the Great God realm. Even the Elder King should be able to deal with him. Yet to think he was still underestimating his enemy. He was simply courting death! Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to kill the demonic path cultivator, the latter unexpectedly unleashed powerful soul pressure. The soul pressure was so terrifying that it drowned Qin Chen and the others. If this continued, it was very likely that they would simply die in it. The spiritual world was huge and seemed to have dragged everyone¡¯s primordial spirit in. This world was created by the demonic path cultivator. Could it be that he had some terrifying treasure? To think he could display such terrifying strength! Qin Chen and the others looked at the demonic path cultivator who manifested his primordial spirit in the spiritual world. No one expected the latter¡¯s primordial spirit to be so terrifying and strange. His appearance was quite fear-invoking because his face was like the diagram of yin and yang, split in half from the middle, forming two unfamiliar faces in one. On one side was an extremely demonic old man, and on the other side was the demonic path cultivator¡¯s own face that was emitting a death aura. What was with this guy? The true dragon could tell that a divine soul might have forcefully fused with this guy. In other words, there were currently two primordial spirits in the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body. One belonged to him, and the other to another living being. Everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with uncertainty. They had not expected to encounter such a thing. The demonic path cultivator appeared extremely terrifying. In this spiritual world, the fluctuations of his soul aura had already reached the God Emperor realm. Such a secret cultivation technique was unheard of. Could it have been brought about by the old man in his body who didn¡¯t belong to the demonic path cultivator? The old man opened his eye, and at the same time, the demonic path cultivator¡¯s original half-face opened its eye as well. The two said at the same time, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this. I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m actually able to see a true dragon.¡± Every living being who saw the true dragon was extremely shocked because the true dragon was a divine beast that had long since ceased to exist in this world. They didn¡¯t expect to see a living true dragon. It should be known that even the scales left behind by a true dragon were rare. They didn¡¯t think a living true dragon would appear here. ¡°Who are you?¡± Qin Chen asked. He could clearly tell that the demonic path cultivator¡¯s primordial spirit no longer belonged to him. It was only a matter of time before it was devoured by the old man. At that time, this body would belong to the old man, and it would be equivalent to the old man possessing the other party¡¯s body and being reborn. Qin Chen looked at the old man and felt quite apprehensive. He could feel that the aura coming from the old man was extremely dangerous. The old man laughed, ¡°Who am I? I¡¯ve forgotten my name. I¡¯m just someone who was on the verge of death in the great battle back then. Since you¡¯ve chased the owner of this body all the way to this palace, you should just turn to dust here. Your body is not bad. I¡¯ll live on for you later.¡± What he meant was that he wanted to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. No one expected the old man to be so arrogant. That being said, Qin Chen believed that the old man had the power to do so. After all, even though the latter had only devoured half of the demonic path cultivator¡¯s primordial spirit, his soul power had already reached the God Emperor realm. By the time he fully recovered to his peak, he might even be a peak God Emperor realm expert. Unfortunately, he was up against Qin Chen. Qin Chen had many magic items that could restrain this guy. The old man did not know that Qin Chen had something on him that could suppress him directly. With that, Qin Chen laughed and said, ¡°You should be one of the experts in the devil¡¯s den who didn¡¯t die completely back then, right? I didn¡¯t expect you to live to this day. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re already old, and it¡¯s time for you to die.¡± Qin Chen then opened his third eye, the Netherworld Eye! A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and blood flowed out. A strange divine eye appeared. At the same time, a strange eye had also grown out on the glabella of Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit. The strange eye exuded a terrifying pressure, causing the old man to feel endless fear. ¡°Who are you?¡± This pair of eyes seemed to belong to a supreme expert. Even he could only lower his head in the face of such an expert. He did not even have the qualifications to look at the other party. Where did the human cultivator get this eye from? Qin Chen didn¡¯t waste any more time. This was the first time he used the Netherworld Eye. He wanted to see how terrifying it was. Chapter 482 - 482 The Strange Shadow 482 The Strange Shadow Then, Qin Chen opened his Netherworld Eye, and a beam of terrifying divine light shot out. It was as if just by looking at the old man, the eye could reveal all his secrets, even the deepest secrets could be discovered. This terrifying scene made the old man feel extremely horrified. Who would have thought that this human cultivator would be so terrifying? Who was he? How could he have such a terrifying eye? This pair of eyes probably had a profound background. The old man saw a beam of light shooting out from Qin Chen¡¯s third eye. The beam of light was extremely fast and reached the old man in an instant. The old man seemed to be on the verge of death. His body began to melt as if it had turned into smoke. The demonic path cultivator who only had the remaining half of his face was very frightened. He had thought that with such a terrifying old monster in his body, the latter should be able to kill Qin Chen and the others. He didn¡¯t expect that even the terrifying old man would be so vulnerable in front of a human cultivator who was only in the God realm. The demonic path cultivator himself died under the terrifying eye as well. In an instant, he felt as if his primordial spirit had been shattered. After letting out a blood-curdling screech, the primordial spirit was annihilated. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t have the Netherworld Eye, he might have failed this time. Following this, Qin Chen and the others left the spiritual world and returned to their bodies. When their primordial spirits returned to their respective bodies, they saw the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body fall from the stone chair and crash to the ground. There were no longer any signs of life. The demonic path cultivator would never wake up again since his primordial spirit had already been killed. Qin Chen had only used the Netherworld Eye, and his opponent was already unable to withstand it. The terrifying old man died in his own spiritual world. Qin Chen immediately recalled that the root cause of this was because the Netherworld Eye could target a person¡¯s soul. The demonic path cultivator and the old man had fused, then courted death by pulling the primordial spirits of Qin Chen and the others into the spiritual world. In that spiritual world, Qin Chen had the Netherworld Eye, so the other party was no match for him at all. It didn¡¯t take long for the enemies to all be dead. Seeing that the demonic path cultivator was dead, Qin Chen and the others were relieved. They took away all the treasures of the other party. The big scorpion showed no mercy and even took off the outer garment that the other party was wearing, which was a defensive treasure that could increase the chances of survival. He simply put it on and refined it. And now, everyone was sure that there were obviously other traps in this palace. Otherwise, the old man would not have been so confident that he could defeat everyone before he even completed the possession. One must know that a true dragon was at level 6 of the God Emperor realm. It was incomparably powerful and terrifying. Now that the old man had died, there was no need to stay here any longer. At this point, there was only one demonic path cultivator left. Qin Chen and the others destroyed the palace before leaving. It seemed that the devil¡¯s den was far more terrifying than they had imagined. To think experts who had not died in the great battle were still alive and well here. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others immediately left to find the last demonic path cultivator. In their view, the demonic path cultivator must have gone into hiding. Qin Chen and the others could vaguely feel the other party¡¯s fluctuations, but they didn¡¯t know where he was, so they kept walking forward in search. What they could be sure of was that the demonic path cultivator must have encountered something, or his aura wouldn¡¯t have been so weak. Qin Chen and the others turned the devil¡¯s den upside down. Wherever they went, they dug three feet into the ground, trying to find the demonic path cultivator. Finally, they discovered the demonic path cultivator. He seemed to have turned into a monster, his body infinitely large. It was as if his body contained something. When Qin Chen and the others found him, he was kneeling on the ground, as if he was completing a sacrifice. Countless strange things appeared on his body. Qin Chen and the rest hurried over, wanting to kill him. However, only when their attacks landed on his body did they realize that this fellow was already an empty shell. The flesh and blood in his body had disappeared without a trace. A shadow appeared in front of them. The shadow had been attached to the demonic path cultivator¡¯s body before this, but it was now exposed because Qin Chen and the others had discovered that the demonic path cultivator was dead. The shadow seemed to have a life of its own as it launched an attack on Qin Chen and the others. There were countless dangers in the devil¡¯s den. Having encountered the shadow, even Qin Chen and the others might fall into the other party¡¯s trap. After all, no one would pay attention to a shadow. This disguise was extremely well-hidden, and ordinary people would not be able to discover it. ¡°Kekeke¡­¡± This shadow seemed to have some consciousness of its own. It looked to be something left behind from that great battle. The fact that the shadow was able to survive until now was enough to show how terrifying it was. When he thought of this, Qin Chen hurriedly made his move, wanting to kill this shadow. Otherwise, the consequences would be terrifying. Unknowingly, the shadow had instantly turned into countless wisps of black smoke that spread over the ground, attacking Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others could feel that the black gas was unusual. It seemed to be like a shadow, able to swallow everyone else¡¯s shadow. With that, Qin Chen and the others kept changing their positions, trying to prevent the shadow from attacking them. The shadow disappeared quietly in a short while. After it split, it hid among the shadows of everyone. At this point, everyone was at a loss for what to do. Then, they strangely found that their actions seemed to be out of control! To think the shadow could control their bodies! At this moment, the wisps of the shadow were living in their shadows. How could this not be shocking? It was simply horrifying. Qin Chen and the others continued to attack the shadow. Fortunately, when their attacks landed on their shadows, they managed to expel the black gas. The shadow was extremely strange. Everyone¡¯s attacks seemed to have no effect on it. After all, it was just a shadow. Chapter 483 - 483 The Evil God Appears 483 The Evil God Appears The true dragon spat out a stream of dragon flames. The extremely terrifying flames burned toward the ground. If it could burn this shadow, the latter would definitely be severely injured. However, this shadow was just too strange. In this devil¡¯s den, wherever there was a shadow, it could merge into the shadow and hide. Furthermore, it was extremely fast. In a flash, Qin Chen and the others had lost track of the shadow. If this shadow was allowed to continue to exist, it would probably cause a lot of trouble for Qin Chen and the others. But now that the shadow had disappeared, they could only be more vigilant and on guard against the shadow¡¯s appearance. ¡°Damn it, to think it managed to escape!¡± The big scorpion was indignant. In his opinion, it would be best if they could kill the shadow. But now, the other party had already escaped. If that ghostly shadow recovered its strength, how terrifying would it be? It had just devoured the flesh and blood of a demonic path cultivator. Who knew how terrifying it could become? Qin Chen and the others could feel the danger. They could not delay any longer. If the shadow appeared again, they might not be able to resist it. They had to hurry. Therefore, Qin Chen led the group deeper into the devil¡¯s den. They wanted to find the demonic sunflower and leave. If they didn¡¯t leave as soon as possible, it was very likely that they would all die here. There were too many variables hidden in the devil¡¯s den. Even God Emperor-realm experts were at risk of dying here. This devil¡¯s den was no less than a land of death. Thinking of this, everyone sighed in their hearts. The shadow brought fear to everyone¡¯s hearts. Therefore, they quickly left this place and headed toward the depths of the devil¡¯s den. In the depths of the devil¡¯s den was an even more terrifying aura. It was as if some kind of terrifying creature was hiding there. Qin Chen and the others could sense it. A figure in the depths of the devil¡¯s den opened his eyes and looked into the distance as if he could feel the karma that was coming closer to him. He didn¡¯t expect that his disciple¡¯s murderer would come here so quickly. What was going on? ¡°I¡¯ve found you without any effort. This saves me the trouble of looking for you¡­¡± The figure had originally thought that he would have to go and look for these guys, but he didn¡¯t expect them to deliver themselves to his door. Since that was the case, he would no longer hold back and destroy the other party. This figure was the evil God, the master of the undefeatable demonic venerable. Qin Chen and the others did not know that the evil God was the expert mentioned by the human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon. One had to know that this was an expert who was in the same realm as the human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon. If such a supreme expert wanted to deal with Qin Chen and the others, it would be as easy as blowing off dust. He could easily exterminate them. Earlier, the evil God had sensed that a terrifying battle had broken out in the devil¡¯s den. Such fluctuations naturally could not be hidden from him. He just didn¡¯t expect that the murderer of his disciple would come here. Since that was the case, he would take the initiative to attack and destroy the other party. With that, the figure of the evil God disappeared from the spot, heading toward Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others were clueless about all this and continued to advance into the depths of the devil¡¯s den. One should know that the demonic sunflower was guarded by the evil God for countless years. Naturally, the evil God would remain here. If Qin Chen and the others wanted to get the demonic sunflower, they would definitely have to fight this evil God. The evil God¡¯s strength was unfathomable. He had already discovered the traces of Qin Chen and the others. Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended. Before Qin Chen and the others could even react, they were already pressed to the ground, trembling. Qin Chen was unable to resist it at all. When he saw the figure descending from the sky, he realized that it was the master of the invincible demonic venerable that he had seen in the other party¡¯s refined memories. Huge waves crashed in Qin Chen¡¯s heart! How could the other party¡¯s master still be alive? Why would he appear in the depths of the devil¡¯s den? ¡°Not good!¡± He immediately thought of what the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon had warned him about. The master of this undefeatable demonic venerable was most likely the expert here! Without any hesitation, Qin Chen instantly crushed the blood-red token. The evil God saw Qin Chen crush something, and a terrifying fluctuation descended in an instant. It was power in the same realm as his! The evil God had been cultivating in the devil¡¯s den for so many years, yet he hadn¡¯t noticed such an existence. It seemed that the other party¡¯s strength was far more unfathomable than his. But still, he laughed, ¡°So this is what you¡¯re relying on?¡± The evil God was very confident. So what if the other party was in the same realm as him? That human cultivator had killed his disciple, so he would definitely not let him off. He then revealed his true strength, and boundless evil auras burst out from his body. It formed a repulsive force with the demonic energy in the area, forming a domain of its own. It was extremely terrifying! With a wave of the evil God¡¯s hand, a powerful puppet appeared out of nowhere. It actually had the strength of a peak God Emperor! The puppet charged toward Qin Chen. Even the true dragon might not be a match for the puppet. The puppet¡¯s aura was far more terrifying than that of a peak God Emperor. At this moment, the true dragon had a bad feeling. It immediately wanted to protect Qin Chen and block the attack for him. Unexpectedly, a tentacle made of blood suddenly grew out of the blood-red cocoon. It broke through the secret realm and came directly to Qin Chen¡¯s side in the devil¡¯s den! It viciously pierced through the body of the peak God Emperor-realm puppet. In an instant, the powerful puppet could no longer move, then destroyed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. Was this the power of the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon? Even though the other party¡¯s true body had not emerged yet, he still possessed terrifying strength. To think he could easily destroy a puppet at the peak of the God Emperor realm. The evil God was shocked as well. The other party¡¯s strength seemed to be stronger than he had imagined. However, if he wanted to kill Qin Chen, was there anyone who could stop him? One had to know that he was an evil God! To be able to be called an evil God, he naturally had terrifying strength. The evil God then launched a fierce attack at the vine tentacle. Chapter 484 - 484 Demonic Path Patriarch Goes All Out 484 Demonic Path Patriarch Goes All Out The tentacle condensed from blood instantly fell apart and was crushed. The evil God continued to stretch out his hand, trying to crush Qin Chen¡¯s body. One must know that the evil God¡¯s realm was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen and the others were suppressed to the ground just by sensing his arrival. It was the same even for the level 6 God Emperor realm true dragon. All of them were unable to resist and were suppressed by the pressure. Not good! Qin Chen felt a fatal threat. He could feel that the other party wanted to kill him. It seemed that the evil God already knew that the invincible demonic venerable had died in his hands. What Qin Chen could place his hope in now was the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon. The human-shaped creature opened his eyes and sneered, and the giant cocoon disappeared from the secret realm in an instant. The blood-red cocoon appeared above Qin Chen and the others, condensing demonic energy. Its appearance was so sudden that no one noticed it, including the evil God. Fear rose in the evil God¡¯s heart. What exactly was this fellow? He had never encountered such a powerful existence in the devil¡¯s den. With such heaven-defying fluctuations, could the other party be an expert even more powerful than him? The human-shaped creature in the blood-red cocoon snorted again. Then, he shot out a streak of sharp blood energy that pounced forward. To think the blood energy could corrode the void! Such terrifying power made the evil God have a bad feeling. The evil God immediately sent out a palm strike in response! In an instant, his palm was covered in an evil aura, and he reached out to grab the blood energy in front of him as if his plan was indestructible. Unfortunately, before he could do so, the evil aura on his body retreated. To the evil God¡¯s surprise, his evil aura was being suppressed. Then, the blood energy hit his arm, instantly crippling it. Blood continued to drip down, and the arm strangely disappeared from everyone¡¯s eyes! Could it be that the blood energy had devoured the evil God¡¯s arm? Everyone was bewildered. It seemed that the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon was clearly more terrifying than the evil God. However, the evil God did not seem to have suffered much damage. In the blink of an eye, he formed another arm that grew out of the wound. Everyone was shocked. What kind of cultivation technique did this guy cultivate to have such a strong recovery ability? Qin Chen and the rest had never heard of such a technique. The evil God¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation as he asked, ¡°Who are you? Do you want to fight me today?¡± The human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon sneered, ¡°You dare to be so presumptuous in my territory? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I didn¡¯t want to touch you, you would¡¯ve long been dead.¡± Hearing this, the evil God was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that the terrifying creature inside the blood-red cocoon was the master of this place. This was the devil¡¯s den! If the other party was the master of this place, didn¡¯t that mean that he was a member of the devil race? The evil God was shocked. He did not expect such a terrifying existence to survive that great battle until now. The human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon launched another attack. Several blood-red tentacles suddenly flew out and attacked the evil God. He knew that the evil God wouldn¡¯t let Qin Chen go, so he could only kill the latter. The evil God laughed, ¡°Do you think that this is all of my strength? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to disappoint you¡­¡± With that, the evil God suddenly tore through the void and flew to the countless tentacles. A dark purple longsword that exuded a terrifying aura appeared in his hand. This dark purple longsword clearly did not have any fluctuations, but its power was terrifying! In an instant, the blood-red tentacles were destroyed! The terrifying pressure was extremely shocking. This was no longer a battle that Qin Chen and the others could participate in. The evil God continued, ¡°You¡¯re not in a good state at the moment. You haven¡¯t even recovered to your peak. If you insist on fighting me now, you might be seriously injured. I¡¯m right, aren¡¯t I? Is it worth it?¡± The human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon simply replied, ¡°Do you think you have the right to be impudent to someone I¡¯m protecting?!¡± Then, he let out a furious roar. For some reason, the blood-red cocoon began to crack, and a figure exuding a terrifying aura walked out from within. There seemed to be a demonic abyss behind him, which he could borrow power from at any time. In the demonic abyss was a terrifying aura that seemed to want to appear in the world! The evil God was shocked at the sight. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that an old undying like you could preserve your strength to such a great extent. It seems that you should have one of those who escaped from that great battle back then!¡± At this point, the human-shaped creature inside the blood-red cocoon had completely emerged from the cocoon, ¡°You must die today! As the devil race¡¯s patriarch, I¡¯ll let you know what a true expert is!¡± He then slapped the ground. With that, a layer of demonic energy condensed into demonic armor and appeared on the devil race¡¯s patriarch. With just one palm, the devil¡¯s den exploded with a huge amount of demonic energy, which condensed into power and rushed toward the devil race¡¯s patriarch! This place was the Holy Land of the devil race! Then, the patriarch summoned the countless remaining hidden magic items in the area, which all started to vibrate. They gathered madly at the devil race¡¯s patriarch¡¯s call, turning into a streak of light and coming to his side. Following this, the devil race¡¯s patriarch struck at the demonic abyss behind him! In an instant, a terrifying power surged toward him. The entire devil¡¯s den was turned upside down as if it was about to be destroyed. This world-destroying scene shocked the evil God. He didn¡¯t expect the enemy to be so strong. In an instant, countless magic items, after being infused with a powerful force, directly attacked the evil God. Before the evil God could react, his body was pierced through by one magic item after another, and he was nailed to the ground. He could feel that the energy in his body was being continuously extracted. The devil race¡¯s patriarch was extraordinary to manage to do this. How could such a terrifying figure have survived the great battle back then? There was only one answer. The devil race¡¯s patriarch had chosen to run away from the battle, which was why he had survived until now. Otherwise, the other party would have died along with everyone else in that great battle. Chapter 485 - 485 Celestial 485 Celestial-binding Rope The evil God seemed to become even more ferocious. He laughed crazily, and dense cracks appeared on his body! Countless magic items seemed to have been corroded by his blood and fell to the ground one after another. He slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with rage, ¡°So what if you¡¯re a devil race¡¯s patriarch?! The devil race has long since been destroyed and no longer exists in this world. Do you think you can kill me?¡± In Qin Chen¡¯s mind, he knew how terrifying this evil God was through the memories of the invincible demon venerable. The evil God could be said to be a very troublesome existence, possessing a powerful strength that could destroy the world. It was really hard to say who would win in the end. After all, the human-shaped creature within the blood-red cocoon had come out earlier than expected, so his strength was reduced and hadn¡¯t recovered to its peak. The devil race¡¯s patriarch was clearly no match for the evil God now since his strength had been greatly weakened. A sense of powerlessness emerged in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. This feeling of being at others¡¯ mercy was too uncomfortable. Battle intent rose in his heart. If only there was a way to heavily injure this evil God. Unfortunately, he had no way of doing so now. After the entire devil¡¯s den shook, countless powerful divinity energy burst out. The system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind! [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] As expected, he could check in now. Powerful divinities burst out one after another, allowing Qin Chen to check-in. ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked into the devil¡¯s den. You have received the Celestial-binding Rope!] [Celestial-binding Rope: A quasi-emperor-grade weapon. It has power comparable to extreme emperor weapons. It was created by Daoist Xuanming and is a supreme treasure that existed in myths and legends. It has the ability to bind enemies and seal their powers. It can trap even a quasi-emperor, though it requires a strong divine power as support.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with surprise. To think he had obtained the Celestial-binding Rope from checking in. One must know that the Celestial-binding Rope was a supreme treasure that only existed in myths. It could even trap a quasi-emperor. The evil God in front of him was definitely not in the quasi-emperor realm yet. After all, if the other party had reached the quasi-emperor realm, he would have already obtained the demonic sunflower in the devil¡¯s den. At this critical moment, if he could trap the evil God, the devil race¡¯s patriarch would definitely be able to kill the latter. Since the evil God wanted to kill him, Qin Chen would not let him go. Now that he had the chance to get rid of the evil God with the help of the devil race¡¯s patriarch, Qin Chen was very willing to do so. After all, Qin Chen did not want to add yet another great enemy to the list when the world was in chaos. He already knew how terrifying this evil God was. All of a sudden, a golden rope appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, emanating a terrifying pressure. The Celestial-binding Rope that suddenly appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s hand caught the evil God¡¯s attention. He didn¡¯t know what the human cultivator was holding, but it made him a little afraid. He was an evil God. How could he be afraid of the other party¡¯s magic item? The evil God could clearly sense that it was not an extreme emperor weapon, so what was it? Qin Chen struggled to stand up. He used his acupoints to activate his blood energy to the extreme, activating the Chaotic Divine Body. Only then did he finally manage to stand up under the huge pressure. However, he also spat out blood. It was obvious that the pressure was very strong, and it was not easy to stand. The terrifying divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body was instantly injected into the Celestial-binding Rope in his hand. Then, he threw it out. In an instant, the Celestial-binding Rope turned into a golden dragon and flew toward the evil God. The evil God turned pale with fright. He could feel that the rope flying towards him was extraordinary. The closer the rope got to him, the more he had a bad feeling. Now, he was in a great battle. In a battle between experts, often only one flaw was needed to determine life and death. The rope that Qin Chen had shot out was like a variable. Now was the most crucial time, and the evil God didn¡¯t want any more variables. His strength was currently on par with the devil race¡¯s patriarch, who had appeared earlier than expected. If there were more variables, it was possible that he would be defeated by the other party. At the thought of this, the evil God launched an attack, trying to knock down the rope that was flying over. Unexpectedly, the Celestial-binding Rope contained spirituality and instantly dodged the attack of the evil God. Before the evil God could react, the rope reached him and tied him up! The evil God seemed to have lost all his power and crashed to the ground from the sky. He was so terrified that his soul shook. What the hell was going on? He couldn¡¯t even use his power. Didn¡¯t this mean that he would die at the hands of this devil race¡¯s patriarch? He desperately tried to break free from the Celestial-binding Rope, but the devil race¡¯s patriarch had already arrived. Obviously, the devil race¡¯s patriarch could also see that the rope Qin Chen shot out was not ordinary. To think it could trap the other party! Now was the best opportunity! As long as the devil race¡¯s patriarch could kill the evil God before the latter broke free from the Celestial-binding Ropee, it would be for the best. At the critical moment, the evil God, who sensed the danger of life and death, let out an unwilling roar. He immediately chose to use his secret technique, Blood Escape! Unfortunately, the devil race¡¯s patriarch did not give him the chance to do so. He instantly launched an attack on the evil God. One had to know that the evil God was currently powerless and could only take the hit. He instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and let out a miserable cry. The devil race¡¯s patriarch attacked again, but unexpectedly, the evil God¡¯s body shattered and turn into blood. The evil God escaped using his secret technique, Blood Escape. Using Blood Escape would consume a lot of his energy, which was a huge price to pay. He would never use it unless he had no other choice. ¡°That human cultivator is detestable!¡± If the devil race¡¯s patriarch hadn¡¯t come to stop him, he would¡¯ve already killed the human cultivator. Chapter 486 - 486 Demonic Sunflower 486 Demonic Sunflower After the evil God escaped, he looked like he was severely injured. He looked at the devil race¡¯s patriarch in the distance. The devil race¡¯s patriarch was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the heavily injured evil God could still escape. One must know that his attacks were extremely terrifying At this point, the evil God had broken free from the Celestial-binding Rope. Qin Chen waved his hand and the Celestial-binding Rope returned to his hand. The evil God was filled with fear. The rope was too strange. Even with his powerful strength, he couldn¡¯t break free from it. He had to use his secret technique, or he would¡¯ve died. ¡°You will die today!¡± The devil race¡¯s patriarch said coldly. He attacked again, sending out a huge palm print that suppressed the evil God. This giant handprint seemed to be extremely terrifying. It was like a giant hand from outer space that could crush the stars as it struck the evil God. The terrifying strike that even shattered the void shocked everyone. Under such an attack, even resisting its pressure was extremely difficult. The evil God suddenly had a bad feeling. He then let out a furious roar, ¡°You want to kill me? It¡¯s simply impossible!¡± Then, he condensed a seal in his hand, which instantly expanded countless times and formed something like a demonic domain that pressed forward. Seeing this, the devil race¡¯s patriarch sneered in his heart. How could he not tell that the move that the evil God was using now was a replica of his demonic abyss? It was a pity that such a move was simply useless. After the devil race¡¯s patriarch unleashed his strength, the demonic abyss behind him appeared. The terrifying demonic abyss seemed to descend into reality and was connected to the devil race¡¯s patriarch¡¯s body. In an instant, boundless demonic energy poured into his body, and the devil race¡¯s patriarch became extremely terrifying. In the meantime, the evil God wanted to use the demonic domain he had created to attack the devil race¡¯s patriarch. The battle between the two supreme experts was extremely tragic! All of a sudden, the ground cracked. It was so terrifying that everyone was frightened. Qin Chen and the others quickly unleashed their power to resist the terrifying aftermath. The crowd quickly retreated. The devil race¡¯s patriarch did not hold back at all. The demonic abyss behind him provided him with an endless stream of power, and under its support, his cultivation seemed to be rising continuously. Although he had not returned to his peak yet, he had recovered a lot of his strength. He instantly launched another attack. The demonic abyss was the devil race¡¯s divine land. Only by communicating with the demonic abyss and using the demonic energy within could a member of the devil race cultivate. How could it be something that an ordinary evil God could replicate? At this moment, the demonic energy that was contained in the demonic abyss suddenly burst out and pressed down. When the evil God saw such a fierce attack, he was unwilling to give up. He knew that he was no match for it, but he still condensed the evil domain into his hand. In an instant, the evil region was compressed to the extreme and shot forward! With a booming explosion and just one strike, the evil God disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had disappeared from the world and left the devil¡¯s den. On the other side, Qin Chen and the others were instantly sent flying. The huge attack landed in the air and collided with the terrifying power of the demonic abyss, causing a terrifying explosion. The entire devil¡¯s den was shaking. With that, Qin Chen and the others lost consciousness. They only woke up after a while. After the battle, a terrifying wound appeared on the devil race¡¯s patriarch¡¯s body. He seemed to have been severely injured. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. To think that the evil God was defeated by the devil race¡¯s patriarch. That being said, the latter was clearly heavily injured and his face was extremely pale. The devil race¡¯s patriarch then sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen, ¡°There isn¡¯t much danger in the devil¡¯s den now. You guys only need to be on guard against the attacks of the restrictions. That evil God has already escaped from here. I can sense that his aura is no longer in the devil¡¯s den. But you still need to be careful and be on guard against any tricks he might have left behind.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. He was extremely touched that the devil race¡¯s patriarch had gone all out to save him. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll go back and heal my injuries.¡± After saying that, the devil race¡¯s patriarch tore open the void and returned to the secret realm in the devil¡¯s den, where he condensed a blood-red cocoon again. Qin Chen and the others looked at their surroundings. The devil¡¯s den was already in ruins. Some of the relatively intact palaces and other buildings had all disappeared without a trace, destroyed by the terrifying explosion. Right now, they still had to find the demonic sunflower. Qin Chen and the others were only here for the flower. Only the demonic sunflower could make them stronger and increase their cultivation. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to lead everyone forward. The big scorpion was shocked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that we¡¯d actually witness a great battle between two supreme experts. Their strength is truly unfathomable!¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen and the others rejoiced in their hearts. Fortunately, they had also managed to survive. Otherwise, they would have long been dead. At this moment, in the depths of the devil¡¯s den, Qin Chen and the others had finally found the location of the demonic sunflower. The demonic sunflower was in a cave-dwelling that appeared to be very ancient and simple. It was imperceptibly emitting powerful fluctuations, making it difficult for it not to attract attention. Furthermore, this was one of the few buildings that were still standing after the battle between the two supreme experts. That was why Qin Chen and the others could find it so easily. They walked in. As soon as they entered the cave, they saw a demonic sunflower in full bloom. It was emitting powerful fluctuations. It seemed to be protected by a powerful force. If one wanted to obtain the demonic sunflower, one would need to possess pure demonic energy. The devil race¡¯s patriarch clearly knew the location of the demonic sunflower, but he had no use for it. He didn¡¯t expect that the evil God would have his eyes on it. The evil God had been guarding the devil¡¯s den for countless years only to be forced to flee as he was no match for the devil race¡¯s patriarch. Qin Chen looked at the demonic sunflower with excitement. What had they risked their lives for? It was all for the demonic sunflower, which had incredible power that could help them break through to the next realm. At this point, if Qin Chen and the others wanted to break through to the next realm, they would need a lot of time. Chapter 487 - 487 Breakthrough 487 Breakthrough If they wanted to take a shortcut, the only way was to refine heavenly treasures. Qin Chen and the others had placed their hopes on the remaining five places of the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. One must know that the coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor all contained terrifying treasures. As long as Qin Chen and the others could obtain those treasures, they would definitely be able to smoothly improve their cultivation and breakthrough. Now, Qin Chen and the others had come to the devil¡¯s den. If Qin Chen had not refined the memories of the invincible demon venerable, he would not have been able to find the place. The demonic sunflower in the devil¡¯s den was exactly what Qin Chen and the others wanted. They had gone through countless hardships and risked their lives to finally see the demonic sunflower. It was not difficult to obtain this demonic sunflower. The power protecting the demonic sunflower can only be broken by pure demonic energy. Qin Chen could condense some pure demonic energy. He had obtained the demonic energy from the devil race¡¯s divine monument, so it was naturally extremely pure. Although Qin Chen had expelled all the demonic energy from his body, there was still some remaining. He didn¡¯t expect that the remnants of demonic energy would actually come in handy at this time. At the thought of this, Qin Chen forced out a wisp of demonic energy from his body. One had to know that this demonic energy was extremely precious. Just existing in Qin Chen¡¯s body, the demonic energy could slowly and continuously help him improve his body¡¯s strength. He sent the wisp of demonic energy into the barrier, and the barrier that was protecting the demonic sunflower trembled violently before disappearing. In other words, Qin Chen and the others could now obtain this demonic sunflower. Just as Qin Chen was about to pluck the demonic sunflower, he suddenly felt a terrifying fluctuation in front of him that appeared out of nowhere. Qin Chen reacted very quickly. He immediately activated his Chaotic Divine Body. For a moment, the heavens rumbled as he activated the acupoints technique to the extreme. He stepped forward and looked at the demonic sunflower. It turned out the fluctuation was the powerful aura of the demonic sunflower, not some danger. With this, Qin Chen plucked the demonic sunflower. After obtaining the demonic sunflower, Qin Chen and the others divided it into five portions. Even the true dragon was very excited. One had to know that this demonic sunflower was a precious treasure! After Qin Chen gave the true dragon its portion of the demonic sunflower, it began to refine it on the spot. It yearned to become more powerful, especially when after feeling the sense of powerlessness of being unable to help at all in the terrifying battle just now. Rather, if it had made a move, it might have even lost its life. This was only the beginning. Not long after, the world would be in chaos, and that would be the true descent of terror! At that time, even an existence as powerful as the evil God would have to run for his life. The evil God couldn¡¯t even deal with the devil race¡¯s patriarch, so one could imagine that his realm wasn¡¯t too strong. This time, they could be considered to have killed with a borrowed knife and severely injured the evil God. Originally, Qin Chen and the evil God¡¯s enmity couldn¡¯t be settled so easily. The evil God knew that it was Qin Chen who had killed his disciple because he could sense that powerful karma had befallen him. Based on some of his secret techniques, he was able to learn Qin Chen¡¯s identity. Therefore, the moment the two of them met, the evil God released his puppet to kill Qin Chen. Fortunately, Qin Chen managed to survive this time, while the evil God had been severely injured. If it wasn¡¯t for the evil domain, the evil God would have been killed by the devil race¡¯s patriarch. After all, the devil race¡¯s patriarch was no ordinary person. He was an extremely powerful old undying who had survived since the great battle in the devil¡¯s den. If such a powerful existence had not avoided that battle back then, it was very likely that Qin Chen and the others would not see him now. Perhaps the devil race¡¯s patriarch knew that the devil race would be defeated back then, and knowing that there would be the opportunity to become an emperor in this era, he wanted to try and see if he could become one. If he became an ancient great emperor, the entire devil race would become terrifying because of him! It would usher in the race¡¯s golden age for countless years. Whether it was the devil race¡¯s patriarch or the evil God, they were only the representatives of the old monsters that would appear after chaos descended in the world. Some of the truly powerful old monsters had yet to come out. They were still hiding and accumulating their strength. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others were excited. They were becoming more and more powerful. In the entire cosmic, they could probably be considered a miracle. The number of heavenly treasures they had refined was uncountable. It was thanks to those heavenly treasures that they had become so powerful and their cultivation realms kept breaking through. Now that the evil God was no longer in the devil¡¯s den, Qin Chen and the others could refine the demonic sunflower without worry and break through to the next realm. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others began to cultivate in seclusion in the cave, refining their portion of the demonic sunflower. Very quickly, the medicinal effects of the flower exploded within their bodies, continuously stimulating their cultivation like a flood breaking through a dam, making them stronger. Qin Chen and the rest refined the demonic sunflower. As expected, the speed of breaking through was the fastest with heavenly treasures. If they were to cultivate and breakthrough by themselves, they would have to wait for God knows how long. A level might be enough to stop their breakthroughs and make them stuck at a bottleneck for the rest of their lives. And now, Qin Chen could feel that he was about to step into level 6 of the God realm. It hadn¡¯t been long since Qin Chen¡¯s last breakthrough, but he was about to break through again. Such speed was actually considered very slow among the crowd, almost on par with the big scorpion¡¯s breakthrough speed. The main reason was that if Qin Chen wanted to break through, he would need a lot of resources. Right now, Holy Maiden Mu Xue had already broken through to level 8 of the Great God realm. At this rate, she should be able to step into the God Emperor realm very soon. On the other hand, the most terrifying true dragon among them had broken through to level 7 of the God Emperor realm. Although he had only advanced by one level, the leap was still huge. As for Yuji, she had broken through to level 7 of the God realm, while the big scorpion had broken through to level 5 of the God realm. Qin Chen and the others had refined a lot of heavenly treasures to be able to improve their realms and cultivation so quickly. Ordinary people didn¡¯t have such luck. Chapter 488 - 488 The Greatest Talent of the Era 488 The Greatest Talent of the Era In the eyes of countless experts, those were treasures, but for them, the treasures were not strong enough. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. He was about to break through a level. In comparison, such precious resources were enough to allow cultivators of the same realm to advance by two or three levels. In contrast, Qin Chen had only broken through a level. This was all due to his Chaotic Divine Body. Now, Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body had an extremely huge volume and could contain an unknown amount of spiritual energy. As such, even in fights, Qin Chen would not be easily injured. It was just that the resources needed to break through were a lot more. Thinking of this, Qin Chen went outside the cave and began his breakthrough, waiting for the heavenly tribulation to descend. With a boom, Qin Chen¡¯s aura trembled and became much stronger. He had entered level 6 of the God realm. His current breakthrough attracted the heavenly tribulation, as usual. No matter where he broke through, Qin Chen realized that the Heavenly Dao would not let him off. The terrifying heavenly tribulation gathered in the sky once again. In an instant, bolts of lightning struck down, condensing into the figures of Gods. The golden Gods immediately launched their attacks at Qin Chen, wanting to kill him. In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, these terrifying Gods were only so-so, even though they were formed by the heavenly tribulation. After all, he had already killed countless golden Gods that had been formed by the heavenly tribulations during his breakthroughs. Qin Chen took action, wanting to destroy the Gods. He quickly made his move. With the Moving Secret Technique, he turned into a beam of light and appeared in front of these Gods. Given the huge number of golden Gods, it was as if the heavenly tribulation had enveloped Qin Chen. Seeing so many golden Gods, Qin Chen immediately launched a ruthless attack. He could feel that the golden Gods¡¯ auras had become much stronger. He immediately activated the secret technique of his acupoints and increased his realm very quickly. In the next instant, he struck out with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, bombarding the golden Gods. In an instant, the bodies of the golden Gods were shattered and disappeared from the world. However, even Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying fist technique did not shatter too many of the golden Gods. Instead, more and more power of the heavenly tribulation descended from the dark clouds in the sky. Then, they condensed into one golden God after another. Could it be that this time, the heavenly tribulation wanted to rely on numbers to overwhelm him to death? Qin Chen suddenly thought of this possibility. The Heavenly Dao might be thinking of using huge numbers of Golden Gods to form an unbreakable formation to attack him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen laughed. If that was the case, Heavenly Dao was gravely mistaken. Following this, an attack landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body. However, Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him, so it was easy for him to block the attack. In an instant, he blocked the attack. Qin Chen¡¯s expression did not change, as if he had not been injured. He then took out the innate sword embryo. The innate sword embryo exploded with a terrifying emperor¡¯s might in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, spreading forward. Countless divine power was injected into the innate sword embryo from Qin Chen¡¯s body. In an instant, he launched attacks at the powerful Gods. These golden Gods did not expect that Qin Chen would actually attack so crazily. They immediately went berserk and attacked him as well. Facing these attacks, Qin Chen quickly waved his sword again and again, quickly destroying the opponents¡¯ attacks. To him, even if he was unable to shatter the attacks, he could still rely on the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to block them and hold on for a long time. Now that Qin Chen had launched such a terrifying attack, he naturally had a way to block the terrifying attacks. As he thought of this, Qin Chen unleashed terrifying attacks. The emperor¡¯s might on the innate sword embryo was extremely terrifying. After all, it was a weapon forged by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. The golden Gods in front of him could not withstand it at all. One after another, their bodies were shattered by Qin Chen, turning into the power of the heavenly tribulation and disappearing. Such a terrifying scene naturally shocked countless people. At this moment, the others had unknowingly appeared below, watching Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough. Their breakthrough would only attract heavenly tribulation when they were breaking through a major realm. In contrast, Qin Chen had only broken through a level, but he was already facing the heavenly tribulation. This further illustrated the huge gap between them. Qin Chen gritted his teeth. There were too many Gods formed by the heavenly tribulation. Even though he kept attacking, many more golden Gods were still attacking him. Suddenly, Qin Chen threw out a punch. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist carried an indestructible will and struck forward with a huge fist intent. It was like an ancient God swinging it at the countless golden Gods. The many golden Gods immediately dodged, but there were still some who couldn¡¯t dodge in time and were smashed into nothingness. Even the void began to collapse! They had probably only ever seen such ferocious heavenly tribulations during Qin Chen¡¯s breakthroughs. ¡°The Elder King is the greatest talent of the era, comparable to the young ancient great emperors!¡± The big scorpion felt from the bottom of his heart that the Elder King would definitely have great achievements in the future. Qin Chen didn¡¯t need to use too much strength to solve his predicament. He simply flew to the dark clouds in the sky and took out his innate sword embryo. Then, he split the dark clouds into two, instantly revealing a clear sky. Qin Chen was the only one who could do this. At this moment, he had officially stepped into level 6 of the God realm. Qin Chen let out a heavy breath. This breakthrough was too easy, so much so that even he didn¡¯t expect it. Each of his previous breakthroughs had been extremely difficult. Fortunately, Qin Chen had successfully broken through to the next level. Everyone could faintly hear the furious roars of the Heavenly Dao coming from above the nine Heavens. At this point, Qin Chen and the others had nothing to stay for in the devil¡¯s den. They searched through all the remaining opportunities and treasures in the devil¡¯s den before leaving. After they left, the devil race¡¯s patriarch in the devil¡¯s den opened his eyes. He seemed to have felt killing intent. What was going on? To think he would feel fear in his territory. Could it be that the evil God had returned? Chapter 489 - 489 Encountering the Black Stone Golem Again 489 Encountering the Black Stone Golem Again An incredible figure seemed to have descended into the devil¡¯s den. The devil race¡¯s patriarch was heavily injured and had yet to recover, so he was extremely apprehensive. ¡°No, that¡¯s impossible. That evil God has already been severely injured. Even if he can recover in a short time, he might not have the courage to come to me again.¡± In a star field, the evil God was in a bad situation. Someone had just attacked him and wanted to take his life while he was weak. Thankfully, he dodged the attack by a hair¡¯s breadth. Unfortunately, he was still being hunted down, and he was helpless. He didn¡¯t even know who the other party was. Not long after this state lasted, the evil God let out a blood-curdling scream. He had been beaten to the point where he spat out blood and was on the verge of death! A terrifying palm grabbed his heart and pulled it out. In an instant, the evil God knelt on the ground. No one knew who was it that could take care of the evil God so easily. One had to know that the evil God was not an ordinary expert and was extremely strong. This time, someone had launched a sneak attack on him while he was severely injured. The evil God could feel a huge hole in his chest, and blood gushed out. Behind him, a hand was holding his heart. ¡°You can choose to submit or die!¡± The evil God was on the verge of death. If his heart was crushed, even if he survived, he wouldn¡¯t be able to recover to his peak strength in a short time. And now, the chaos between the heavens and earth was about to arrive. At that time, he was afraid that only death would be awaiting him. He had many enemies, all with irreconcilable enmities. If they found out that he had been seriously injured and his cultivation had fallen after they reappeared in this world, he would not be able to escape death. At the thought of this, the evil God, who was extremely proud, lowered his head. He chose to submit. Even if he was lucky enough to survive now, what about when the world descended into chaos? Would he still be able to survive? The powerful figure behind him returned the bloody heart to the evil God. ¡°I only need you to help me with one thing. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you die.¡± The evil God no longer had any emotions in his heart. He looked at the figure and realized that the person who attacked him from behind was actually a woman. There was a red lotus mark on her forehead. Her temperament was as cold as ice and she was like a proud phoenix. Her aura was extremely powerful, to the point that even the evil God was bewildered. This woman was clearly very young, and her bone age could not be faked. How could she be more powerful than him? ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Help me find a person and kill him.¡± Hearing this news, the evil God laughed, ¡°Who do you want to kill?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. He¡¯s a variable in this era. He must die.¡± At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived in the cosmic. It had been a few days since they left the devil¡¯s den. Qin Chen had thought that the devil race¡¯s patriarch would stop him from leaving, but unexpectedly, the latter didn¡¯t. They thus arrived back in the cosmic and continued to tear through the void in search of the remaining places in the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. God knows they had been searching for a long time, but they had only found one of the five remaining places, and there were four coordinates left. At the thought of this, Qin Chen sighed. He did not know how long it would take to find the next location. After all, they had been searching in the star field for a long time, but they had found nothing. They didn¡¯t even know where their current coordinates were. Qin Chen and the others cultivated while searching. Their realms had already become extremely terrifying and had increased tremendously. If this continued, no one knew how powerful they would become. There was only a short period left before the world fell into chaos, which was why Qin Chen was so desperate to break through and improve his cultivation. He simply had too many enemies. As Qin Chen and the rest continued to search, they found someone. The black stone golem appeared again. He seemed to be avoiding Qin Chen and the others. Why was that? Qin Chen and the others could not understand why the black stone golem, who clearly had some trump cards, would want to hide from them. After all, the background of the black stone golem¡¯s master was quite great, and he had extremely powerful strength. How could everyone not be shocked by the stone golem¡¯s actions since his master had such terrifying power? ¡°What¡¯s going on with that black stone golem? Let¡¯s go and take a look,¡± Qin Chen¡¯s interest was piqued. When he heard this, the big scorpion hurriedly dissuaded, ¡°Elder King, the black stone golem might be playing hard to get, trying to lure us over.¡± Qin Chen waved his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this black stone golem is far from being as strong as us. Even if his master had left behind some tricks, he might not be our match.¡± Indeed, the current Qin Chen and the others had already become extremely powerful. Even if the black stone golem wanted to overturn his situation, he might not have the ability. After all, the true dragon had already broken through to level 7 of the God Emperor realm and was extremely terrifying. Even if the black stone golem had any schemes, in the face of such great power, it was all for naught. With that, everyone chased after him. The true dragon had always been quite regretful that it didn¡¯t manage to get rid of the black stone golem last time. If it had gotten rid of the fellow back then, there wouldn¡¯t have been any problems. To think they had encountered the black stone golem again in the vast cosmic now. The heavens were helping them. They intentionally wanted the true dragon to exterminate this fellow once again. The black stone golem could sense that the Elder King and the others were chasing after him. He could also sense that the true dragon had also become even more terrifying, though he didn¡¯t know why. Thinking of this, the black stone golem was scared out of his wits. To think they were chasing after him. If they caught up to him, he would be dead. The true dragon let out a dragon¡¯s roar and transformed into its true form, a huge true dragon with shining scales. ¡°You have no chance to escape. Die!¡± Then, the true dragon spat out a mouthful of terrifying dragon flames at the black stone golem who was running away. Terrified, the black stone golem crushed one of his jade stones, and a terrifying power entered his body. Chapter 490 - 490 The White Moonstone 490 The White Moonstone From the terrifying power, it seemed that a terrifying existence had entered the black stone golem¡¯s body. Since the other party crushed the jade stone with such confidence, he must have a way to achieve balance with the existence in his body. After that terrifying existence entered the black stone golem¡¯s body with its power, the latter seemed to have undergone a tremendous change. He became extremely terrifying. Even the God Emperor realm true dragon could sense an extraordinary aura from the black stone golem. What the hell was that? Qin Chen could see that the true dragon was shocked, obviously due to the aura of the black stone golem. What was going on with this black stone golem? Everyone was bewildered. Then, they heard the black stone golem mutter as if he was talking to himself. ¡°Help me leave this place.¡± ¡°But I can feel that if we turn back now, we should be able to deal with them. Why don¡¯t you give me freedom and I¡¯ll help you kill them?¡± ¡°Dream on! Didn¡¯t you feel the terrifying aura of the true dragon? If you don¡¯t take me out of here, you¡¯ll only end up dead!¡± Finally, the black stone golem seemed to have reached a consensus with the terrifying existence, and his speed suddenly began to increase. Qin Chen and the others did not expect him to become so fast. At this point, they had to tear open space and cross the void, and only could they catch up with the other party. The black stone golem had already arrived far away in an instant. Seeing this, Qin Chen could no longer sit still. He didn¡¯t want to see the black stone golem escape again. The latter seemed powerless before him. So, taking the chance, he wanted to try and kill him. If he succeeded, he would then be able to get rid of a problem. Otherwise, Qin Chen would soon be targeted by the black stone golem again. Once the black stone golem gained confidence, the first thing he would do was definitely seek revenge on Qin Chen. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly chased after him, using the Moving Secret Technique. Even the void could not stop him. In an instant, only Qin Chen¡¯s afterimage was left in front of everyone. At this moment, the true dragon dashed with full speed, trying to capture the black stone golem. The speed of the true dragon race was one of the fastest in the world. Only a few creatures, such as the golden-winged roc and other terrifying demonic beasts, could match the true dragons¡¯ speed. At this moment, Qin Chen was already close to the black stone golem but was suddenly shaken off. After all, the black stone golem¡¯s strength seemed to have increased by a lot, and its speed had become extremely fast. The true dragon let out a dragon roar, then quickly rushed forward. One had to know that the true dragon was now at level 7 of the God Emperor realm, so its full speed could not be underestimated. The puny black stone golem was not its match at all. Then, an ancient planet suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others. This ancient planet didn¡¯t seem to have the aura of living beings. Instead, it emitted a mysterious fluctuation. What was on this ancient planet? Qin Chen and the rest did not know. They would only know after they arrived on this ancient planet. Now that he was being chased by the true dragon, the terrifying existence in the black stone golem¡¯s body naturally put his target on the ancient planet. Perhaps he could use the ancient planet to shake his pursuers off. Thinking of this, the black stone golem quickly descended on the ancient planet. Unexpectedly, once he landed, his aura disappeared. Even Qin Chen and the rest did not see how the black stone golem¡¯s aura disappeared. Could it be that there was something strange hidden on this ancient planet? What was going on? Qin Chen and the rest quickly landed on the ancient planet. Only then did they discover that there seemed to be a huge statue on the ancient planet. This huge statue seemed to be a human expert. His clothes were very simple, and he seemed to be an ancient human. The powerful aura that they could feel was coming from this sculpture. Could it be that this sculpture was a treasure? The big scorpion could not wait any longer. He wanted to know if the statue was a treasure. One could never have too many treasures. The aura of the black stone golem who had just landed on the ancient planet had already disappeared. God knows where he had gone to. He must be hiding on this ancient planet. However, Qin Chen and the rest realized that the other party¡¯s aura had disappeared without a trace. It was as if the black stone golem had not descended on this ancient planet. Just as Qin Chen approached the statue, the system¡¯s voice suddenly rang in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] To be honest, Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect to be able to check in at this statue. What secret was hidden on this ancient planet? He then muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in.¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the Ancient Supreme Holy Land. You have received the white moonstone!] [White Moonstone: Legend has it that it is a powerful mysterious gem that has incredible power and can open up a mysterious place. During the mythological era, it was also a treasure that could only be encountered but not sought.] Hearing this, Qin Chen was quite excited. He did not expect the white moonstone to have such a history. Then, Qin Chen hurriedly kept the white moonstone. In his hand, the white moonstone emitted a faint glow and there was a delicate touch to it. Qin Chen put it away. Now was not the time to study the white moonstone. The most important thing now was to find out where the black stone golem was hiding on this ancient planet. They had to quickly find the black stone golem. Otherwise, God knows when they would be able to kill it. As he thought of this, Qin Chen spread out his spiritual will and explored the entire ancient planet. The true dragon and the others also immediately scattered, looking for the whereabouts of the black stone golem. What they could be sure of was that the black stone golem was still on this ancient planet. As long as he was on this ancient planet, he would not be able to escape. He would definitely be discovered by Qin Chen and the others. No matter what the powerful existence in his body was, Qin Chen and the others vowed to destroy him today. Thinking of this, everyone began to search the ancient planet. Chapter 491 - 491 Search! 491 Search! To think there was such a huge statue on this ancient planet. It was obviously not simple. The black stone golem was hiding on this ancient planet. If Qin Chen and the others wanted to find him, it would probably take a lot of effort. This was because the ancient planet could conceal one¡¯s aura. Even if one was very close to one¡¯s target, as long as one couldn¡¯t see the other party, one wouldn¡¯t be able to detect their existence. Therefore, Qin Chen and the rest had to hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the black stone golem had not gone far. He should be nearby. Everyone immediately split up to investigate, wanting to find that black stone golem. Right now, something seemed to have happened to the black stone golem¡¯s body. To think he let an existence enter his body. There might be many more variables if this went on, so Qin Chen and the others wanted to quickly find the black stone golem and destroy him as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the many tricks the black stone golem had, no one could say for sure if he would cause trouble for Qin Chen and the others again. Very quickly, Qin Chen and the rest covered a large area of the ancient planet in their search. It was a pity that they simply couldn¡¯t find the black stone golem. God knows where he was hiding. At this moment, the black stone golem was hiding in a corner and panting heavily. He had almost been discovered just now. Fortunately, the existence in his body had helped him avoid a disaster and hide his whereabouts. And now, the existence in his body wanted to occupy his body and devour his soul. The black stone golem was naturally unwilling. ¡°Give me your body!¡± ¡°You must be dreaming.¡± ¡°Otherwise, death will be your end¡­¡± ¡°Why should I give you my body? Look at the bodies of those human cultivators. Any one of them is stronger than mine.¡± ¡°But with your current strength, you¡¯re not strong enough to fight against them.¡± ¡°I know you have a way.¡± ¡°Hahaha,¡± The existence within the stone golem¡¯s body laughed in an extremely crazed manner and said, ¡°If you¡¯re willing to hand over your body to me, perhaps I can help you exterminate them all. However, the prerequisite is that I must be able to possess and occupy one of their bodies.¡± The black stone golem nodded, ¡°Why don¡¯t you swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao? That way, I¡¯ll be at ease.¡± The being in his body immediately swore a Heavenly Dao oath. After a ripple of fluctuation, a new heavenly Dao oath appeared in the world. Then, the black stone golem relaxed his body and mind, handing over his body to the being in his body. Very quickly, this existence completely controlled the black stone golem¡¯s body. At this moment, he was no longer the black stone golem, but himself! Then, he quickly went into hiding. He played hide-and-seek with everyone on the ancient planet. If he wanted to exterminate these guys, he had to start from the weakest. The weakest among them should be the big scorpion demon. Other than that demon, there was also the human cultivator they called the Elder King. Before the black stone golem passed out and handed his body over to this being, he forgot to tell the latter that the human race¡¯s Elder King was not to be trifled with. Rather, he had to be extremely careful. Unfortunately, the black stone golem¡¯s soul had already fallen into a deep sleep within his body. At this moment, the big scorpion had already come searching. He was very vigilant, guarding against the possibility that the other party would make a move. If the black stone golem dared to attack, he should be able to resist it with his current strength. Meanwhile, the other party would definitely expose himself and attract everyone here. At that time, he would be unable to escape even if he had wings. Therefore, the big scorpion was not worried that he would die or be attacked. All of a sudden, the big scorpion felt as if danger had appeared. He immediately made defensive preparations, but unfortunately, he was still heavily punched in the chest. In an instant, countless bones were broken and he spat out a mouthful of blood! His body was like a kite with a broken string as he smashed to the ground and almost lost all his strength. He never thought that that black stone golem dared to make a move. The big scorpion launched an attack in front. He accumulated all the power in his body and sent it out. Shocking fluctuations were emitted by this terrifying attack. Such a large fluctuation naturally could not be concealed. On this ancient planet, the only thing that could be hidden was the aura, not fluctuations. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others immediately sensed the fluctuations and hurried over. The true dragon and the others also rushed over madly. It was clear they had discovered traces of the black stone golems! At this moment, blood was flowing from the corner of the big scorpion¡¯s mouth, but he still laughed, ¡°You can¡¯t run.¡± However, the black stone golem in front of him was not frightened at all. Instead, he seemed to be somewhat mad, ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll run?¡± Following this, the big scorpion lost consciousness. When Qin Chen and the rest arrived, they did not find anything. They only saw some bloodstains on the ground. These bloodstains had the aura of the demon race. It seemed that the big scorpion had suffered a mishap. Everyone looked around, but they did not find anything. ¡°Not good!¡± The big scorpion might be in danger! But now, the black stone golem was already hiding somewhere, and the big scorpion had also disappeared. Qin Chen and the others had to find him. Everyone gathered and spread out their spiritual wills, trying to find the big scorpion. Finally, they discovered some subtle traces. It seemed that the other party should have left in the direction in front of them. Therefore, the big scorpion must be in front of them. Qin Chen and the rest did not expect that the black stone golem would dare to injure the big scorpion. There was a trace of puzzlement in their hearts. Wasn¡¯t this courting death? They couldn¡¯t find the black stone golem¡¯s whereabouts, but to think the latter would show himself. They then rushed forward, wanting to save the big scorpion. They ran for some distance and saw a figure lying on the ground in front of them. They could recognize that it was the big scorpion. The big scorpion seemed to have passed out. By the time everyone arrived, he was already on the verge of death. Qin Chen quickly took out a leaf from the ancient tree of life and fed it to him. Slowly, the vitality of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves began to restore the big scorpion. At this moment, Qin Chen also said to the crowd, ¡°Search the place! He must be nearby! That black stone golem definitely wouldn¡¯t have gone too far.¡± Chapter 492 - 492 Emperor Array 492 Emperor Array Then, everyone carefully explored the surroundings, afraid of being sneak-attacked by the black stone golem. At this moment, Qin Chen stepped on something, and a fluctuation was instantly produced. Qin Chen was shocked. He had actually stepped on an array. The true dragon, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion had also stepped on it. With that, needle-like spots of light appeared under their feet, which connected to become countless nodes of the array. With a loud bang, the nodes rotated and formed a large array. In an instant, everyone was trapped inside. Not good! ¡°The other party is deliberately trying to lure us here.¡± However, it was already too late. They had all entered the array. The true dragon said disdainfully, ¡°Does he think he can stop me with this mere array?¡± It let out a low roar and transformed into its true form, a huge true dragon. The scales on its body flickered with cold air, and its eyes shot out divine light. Then, it slammed its claw against the array. One should know that the true dragon was a level 7 God Emperor. It should not take too much effort to break through the array. However, the true dragon did not expect that the array would be like mud. It could not be broken at all. Its attack struck the array and simply passed through it. Yet, the true dragon simply couldn¡¯t get out of the array. Whenever it tried, a force bounced it back. ¡°What is this thing?¡± The true dragon refused to believe it, so it attacked again and spat out a stream of dragon flames. The terrifying dragon flame was the innate flame of the true dragon race. It was extremely terrifying and could burn the void. In an instant, the fire dragon-like flame burned the array. However, the array did not move at all. Instead, the fire dragon simply passed through the array. Seeing this, everyone was extremely shocked. What was this? Could it be that this array couldn¡¯t be broken and was here to trap them? At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared. Everyone immediately realized that this voice didn¡¯t seem to be the voice of the black stone golem. When the black stone golem slowly walked out, they discovered that the other party was not himself. Rather, the other being in his body was controlling it. The being laughed, ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn¡¯t expect a true dragon to appear in this world. If my array was a little weaker, I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t have been able to trap you.¡± ¡°Who the hell are you?¡± Qin Chen and the others were a little afraid. To think the other party could set up such an array in such a short time to trap them. Clearly, the other party¡¯s background was quite profound. It was very likely that he had a big background. However, the black stone golem that was controlled by the being simply replied, ¡°I¡¯m Zhen Xiezi, but I don¡¯t think you know me. It¡¯s been too long since I became this ghostly appearance. It¡¯s been so long that even I¡¯ve forgotten.¡± At this moment, Holy Maiden Mu Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with bewilderment. ¡°You¡¯re Zhen Xiezi? Could it be that you¡¯re that array genius? The guy who was trapped and killed by the Tianxuan Sect? How could you have survived until now?¡± The crowd had a bad feeling. They didn¡¯t expect Holy Maiden Mu Xue to know this guy. Holy Maiden Mu Xue sent a voice transmission to the crowd, ¡°This guy is a genius from the primordial era. He has extremely high talent in the path of arrays and was once known as the number one array master in the Central Province.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was surprised. He didn¡¯t expect this guy to come from the nine Heavens and ten lands. The other party should have been killed in the primordial era. How could he still be alive now? Could it be that someone had imprisoned his primordial spirit? ¡°Indeed. Since you still recognize me, you should know that you¡¯re most likely doomed after falling into my hands. It¡¯s better for you to surrender without putting up a fight and prevent your suffering. I¡¯ll give you a quick death.¡± Hearing this, the true dragon immediately roared, ¡°Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak like this? When I break the array, I¡¯ll definitely chew your primordial spirit into pieces and swallow it!¡± Upon hearing this, Zhen Xiezi, who was in the black stone golem¡¯s body, laughed. ¡°You think you can break my array? Let me tell you, this array is an ancient array that I obtained by chance. It¡¯s extremely terrifying. It¡¯s said that it¡¯s an emperor array left behind by an ancient great emperor. Even though I¡¯ve only managed to imitate its surface, it¡¯s more than enough to deal with you.¡± ¡°That human cultivator, come out your own.¡± Zhen Xiezi had clearly set his sights on Qin Chen. In his opinion, other than the ordinary demon, Qin Chen was the weakest among the crowd. Moreover, he could feel that there was an unusual fluctuation in Qin Chen¡¯s body. If he could obtain Qin Chen¡¯s physical body, he would definitely be able to quickly recover his strength through some secret techniques. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were already under his control. He had already sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao that he would not take the black stone golem¡¯s body for himself. Therefore, he could only set his sights on Qin Chen. Upon hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes flashed with a cold light. He pointed at himself, ¡°Are you talking about me?¡± Zhen Xiezi laughed, ¡°Come out. I think your body should be pretty good. If you want to die now, don¡¯t destroy your body.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen laughed in his heart. If this guy released him from this array, it would be the time of the former¡¯s death. Qin Chen had countless tricks up his sleeve. As long as he could get out of this array, it would be a piece of cake to destroy the black stone golem. As for Zhen Xiezi in the other party¡¯s body, he did not think much of him. Zhen Xiezi did not seem to have much ability since he was only proficient in array techniques. If he wanted to possess him, Qin Chen could just use the Chaos Divine Ring to crush his primordial spirit. Thinking of this, Qin Chen walked out unrestrainedly. The crowd tried to stop him, but Qin Chen waved his hand, indicating that they should not worry. The black stone golem outside laughed. He thought that Qin Chen had already accepted his fate, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little excited. He would soon be able to seize a body that belonged to him. The reason why Zhen Xiezi had his eyes on Qin Chen was that he had sensed a fluctuation in the latter¡¯s body. In his opinion, Qin Chen must have a Spirit Body. In this case, his body was not too trashy and could barely fit his requirements. When Qin Chen walked to the array barrier, the array barrier that should¡¯ve bounced him away now took the initiative to open a crack, allowing him to walk out. Chapter 493 - 493 F*ck! 493 F*ck! After Qin Chen came out of the array, the array immediately repaired itself, leaving not a single crack. Qin Chen walked outside step by step, looking at the black stone golem. The black stone golem couldn¡¯t hold back the excitement in his heart and immediately flew over. His body was at the peak of the Great God realm. As such, he should be able to easily suppress Qin Chen, who was a level 6 God realm cultivator. By then, he would be able to control the other party¡¯s body. At the thought of this, Zhen Xiezi walked over step by step. When Qin Chen saw him walking over, he was fearless. When Zhen Xiezi placed the black stone golem¡¯s palm on Qin Chen¡¯s head, everyone could not help but gasp and worry for the Elder King. ¡°You¡¯re quite sensible, kid. I¡¯ll consider keeping your primordial spirit.¡± Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s cooperation, Zhen Xiezi was extremely excited. He immediately sent his primordial spirit into Qin Chen¡¯s body, wanting to completely possess the latter. From his point of view, as long as his primordial spirit entered Qin Chen¡¯s body, the other party would have no power to resist. This was because the other party simply could not resist. One must know that he was a cultivator at the peak of the Great God realm back then, only one step away from entering the God Emperor realm. It was because of this that he was able to set up this array and trap the true dragon. Over the years, Zhen Xiezi¡¯s primordial spirit had been cultivating non-stop and had become even stronger. It was almost as strong as a God Emperor¡¯s soul. Even if the human cultivator struggled, it would be in vain. Holy Maiden Mu Xue gave everyone a look and transmitted her voice to them, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the Elder King. No matter what, it won¡¯t be easy for Zhen Xiezi to possess him. We have to believe in the Elder King. Zhen Xiezi¡¯s soul power has only barely reached the God Emperor realm. He¡¯s not strong enough to be the Elder King¡¯s enemy. In the path of the soul, Elder King has no pressure in beating him.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone recalled that the Elder King seemed to have been possessed by a big shot before, and the other party had suffered a great loss at his hands. Since Zhen Xiezi was only good at arrays and not in the path of souls, they could rest their worries and just wait to watch the show. Zhen Xiezi was very excited. His primordial spirit entered Qin Chen¡¯s body from the black stone golem. He would soon be able to have his own body! Many years had passed without him having a physical body. Otherwise, he would have become a peerless expert long ago. With his talent in the path of arrays, Zhen Xiezi was confident that he could suppress even a God Emperor-realm expert. This God-realm human cultivator¡¯s body was the most suitable one for him. ¡°Ha! How can his physical body be so strong? To think his acupoints have been refined! There are Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth on his bones?! This kid, how did he do it? This is unbelievable. He seems to be cultivating some kind of sutra. It can¡¯t be an emperor sutra, right? ¡± Zhen Xiezi was at a loss for words. He went from being extremely pleasantly surprised to feeling that something was not right. Was this a God-realm cultivator? He was simply a monster! ¡°What the f*ck? Why is there a Jiuying divine soul in his body?!¡± When Zhen Xiezi saw Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying split soul, he immediately opened his eyes. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s true primordial spirit also walked out. For a moment, Zhen Xiezi was dazed. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap on his own initiative. ¡°Brat, who exactly are you?¡± Qin Chen thought about his background and said slowly, ¡°The successor of the Chaostic Heavenly Emperor. Is this background enough? ¡± ¡°¡­ H-how is this possible?¡± Zhen Xiezi seemed to have suddenly sensed danger and immediately went berserk, ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are. Even if the king of the heavens is here today, I¡¯m going to take your body!¡± Qin Chen had brought him too many surprises. No, it should be shock. At the same time, Qin Chen showed a strange smile, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be disappointed.¡± A terrifying fluctuation burst out from Qin Chen¡¯s body. No one had expected that the terrifying fluctuation would be so powerful. Almost instantly, Zhen Xiezi had a bad feeling. ¡°I¡¯m finished.¡± He saw a divine ring emitting chaotic energy appear in Qin Chen¡¯s body. It seemed to have been activated! Such a terrifying fluctuation seemed to be able to tear Zhen Xiezi¡¯s primordial spirit apart easily. He didn¡¯t want to die here. He was only left with this divine soul. If he died here, he would be completely finished. Without another word, Zhen Xiezi turned around and his primordial spirit wanted to head out. He wanted to leave the terrifying Qin Chen¡¯s body. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn¡¯t dare to enter Qin Chen¡¯s body again. Wasn¡¯t this just sending himself to his death? However, Qin Chen did not have the slightest intention of letting Zhen Xiezi go. To Qin Chen, Zhen Xiezi was one of his greatest enemies. After all, the latter was so talented in the path of arrays. If he was allowed to escape and get a physical body, how terrible would that be? Qin Chen¡¯s life might be in danger if the other party set up an array. Therefore, it was better to make Zhen Xiezi die. Only after he was dead would Qin Chen be able to rest easy. ¡°Did I say you could leave?¡± In an instant, Zhen Xiezi realized that Qin Chen¡¯s body had been sealed. In other words, Zhen Xiezi¡¯s primordial spirit could no longer leave Qin Chen¡¯s body! Instantly, Zhen Xiezi gulped with difficulty. He slowly turned his head and wanted to speak, but was suppressed by the powerful pressure emitted by the terrifying divine ring. Qin Chen laughed. If this guy hadn¡¯t entered his body, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to do anything to him. No one had ever thought that Zhen Xiezi wanted to enter Qin Chen¡¯s body and possess him. This time, it was like throwing a meat-stuffed bun at a dog ¨C Zhen Xiezi could never get back what he gave away. Zhen Xiezi felt extreme pain. His primordial spirit seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He wondered what kind of treasure the divine ring was to have such a powerful force. He was extremely regretful now. If he had not entered Qin Chen¡¯s body, how would he have been in this predicament? Unfortunately, regretting now was too late. It was already too late. Zhen Xiezi looked at Qin Chen and said with difficulty, ¡°Friend, as long as you don¡¯t kill me, I can give you all my life¡¯s ultimate techniques.¡± Chapter 494 - 494 I Wont Let You Go 494 I Won¡¯t Let You Go Hearing this, Qin Chen remained unmoved. He already had enough treasures on him. Would he lack Zhen Xiezi¡¯s array? Was it a joke? As long as Qin Chen wanted to, he could kill Zhen Xiezi with a single thought. As for letting Zhen Xiezi go, Qin Chen would definitely not do so. In his opinion, if this guy were to be let go, he would definitely pose a great threat to him. No one knew if the other party would have any backup plans. If Zhen Xiezi were to cause trouble for him in the future, wouldn¡¯t Qin Chen be digging a hole for himself by letting the other party go? Next time, he might not be able to find such a great opportunity. This time, Zhen Xiezi had delivered himself to his door. If he let him go, the next one to die might be Qin Chen. It was obvious that Zhen Xiezi would not let the matter rest so easily, so Qin Chen decided to kill him. Qin Chen looked at Zhen Xiezi and laughed, ¡°I won¡¯t let you off.¡± With a single thought, the Chaos Divine Ring exploded with a terrifying aura. It spread out from Qin Chen¡¯s body, and even the void outside began to shake. No one had thought that the fluctuations would be so terrifying. In an instant, the might of the Chaos Divine Ring landed on Zhen Xiezi¡¯s body. Zhen Xiezi was not even able to withstand a single blow from the spiritual power as powerful as a God Emperor¡¯s soul. His primordial spirit was annihilated and disappeared from Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen laughed. He hadn¡¯t expected that it would be so simple to deal with this Zhen Xiezi. If Zhen Xiezi hadn¡¯t been after his body, Qin Chen might not have been able to kill him. He had killed another old monster, which made Qin Chen more and more eager to learn what had happened back then. At the thought of this, Qin Chen collected the memory fragments left behind by Zhen Xiezi after the latter was killed and turned into nothingness. He then began to refine them. Soon, he found the arrangement of some peerless arrays and memorized them all. As long as he could memorize Zhen Xiezi¡¯s memories, Qin Chen would be able to break the terrifying emperor array. At the thought of this, Qin Chen opened his eyes. The black stone golem also woke up. After Zhen Xiezi¡¯s death, the black stone golem¡¯s primordial spirit slowly recovered. He opened his eyes and saw Qin Chen in front of him. With that, he more or less knew what had happened. Zhen Xiezi had definitely tried to take over Qin Chen¡¯s body. Wasn¡¯t this courting death? Even he did not dare to get close to Qin Chen! He was instantly terrified. The Elder King was not an ordinary person. He had as many magic items as the hair on an ox. If Zhen Xiezi had entered Qin Chen¡¯s body with his own primordial spirit, he might have already been destroyed. This was the only way the black stone golem could explain why he had woken up. Thinking of this, the black stone golem laughed. It seemed like the Elder King had not woken up yet. In that case, he could take the opportunity to kill the human Elder King. If he did that, regardless of whether Zhen Xiezi was dead, the human race¡¯s Elder King would definitely die. This would be equivalent to getting rid of a great enemy. In his opinion, Qin Chen was getting stronger and stronger, to the point where he could no longer control him. Just now, he had encountered Qin Chen and the others and was ruthlessly chased by them. He was very aggrieved. He had not expected that he would be able to turn the tables and kill the Elder King instead. Thinking of this, the black stone golem was extremely excited, He knew that time was of the essence, so he immediately took out a long blade and slashed it at Qin Chen¡¯s head. At this moment, Qin Chen slowly woke up. He had already gotten rid of Zhen Xiezi, which meant that the black stone golem no longer posed a threat to him. At this moment, the black stone golem slashed at Qin Chen. He watched as the blade got closer and closer to Qin Chen¡¯s neck. He was extremely excited. As long as he could kill Qin Chen, everything would be worth it. However, he did not expect Qin Chen to open his eyes. Feeling a wave of killing intent coming towards him, Qin Chen immediately slashed out with his innate sword embryo! In an instant, the sword sent the black stone golem¡¯s primordial spirit flying and he fell to the ground. The black stone golem had not expected the Elder King to be so terrifying that he could wake up so quickly. Following this, the black stone golem tore open the void and escaped without saying anything. In an instant, he arrived outside the ancient planet and rushed out. If he stopped, he would probably die at the hands of Qin Chen and the others. Now that he had the opportunity, he had a chance to escape since Qin Chen and the others were not all free from the array. The black stone golem disappeared without a trace in an instant. It was too late for Qin Chen to stop it. There was nothing he could do about it. Qin Chen can only walk to the array and try to break it. In the end, he discovered that this array was extremely profound. Even though Zhen Xiezi, who had left behind the array, was dead, the array was still not easy to crack. Qin Chen tried many methods, but unexpectedly, he still could not break the array. He had no other choice though. He had to save everyone first. Otherwise, if something were to happen to the array, everyone would be injured. Thinking of this, Qin Chen used all the methods he could think of to try to break the array. Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Divine Body, and a terrifying power instantly appeared in his body. He punched out directly, and the power of this punch was extremely terrifying. It was the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and in an instant, countless fists were sent out, blooming with a dazzling light. The array simply blocked the attacks. Qin Chen was filled with strength, but he still couldn¡¯t break this array, because it was simply too powerful. ¡°As expected of an emperor array left behind by an ancient great emperor. Zhen Xiezi had only imitated the surface and it already has such extraordinary power.¡± If they really encountered the real emperor array, Qin Chen and the others would probably not even be able to breathe. Thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness suddenly emerged in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. The true dragon immediately transformed into its true form and slammed its body toward the array. However, it did not have any effect. Nobody knew how to break the array. The array could easily block the attacks of Qin Chen and the others. It would not be easy to break the array, as it was extremely powerful. Even Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Chapter 495 - 495 Devil 495 Devil-breaking Bug Thinking of this, Qin Chen gathered all his strength and poured the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo. Then, he slashed out with his sword. The sword ruthlessly slashed at the great array, but there was no change to the array at all. Instead, it bounced Qin Chen away. Qin Chen did not expect that the array could withstand such a terrifying attack. One must know that his sword attack was extraordinary. However, it was too late now. This was because there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in the array as if it was operating. In other words, they might have triggered some kind of change in the array. The true dragon and the others in the array were on guard. They had also sensed the abnormality of the fluctuation. At the same time, the power of the array that burst out from each node of the array became extremely sharp. Upon seeing this, Qin Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. He had refined Zhen Xiezi¡¯s memory fragments, so he could naturally guess that the array in front of him had most likely been triggered to kill. If the true dragon and the others couldn¡¯t resist the attacks, they might be killed. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others felt an ominous feeling in their hearts. Soon, the array started launching attacks, and an extremely sharp divine light swept past them! A terrifyingly huge pit was blasted into the ground! If they hadn¡¯t dodged, it was very likely that they would have ended up the same as that huge pit! There was not a single trace of soil in the huge pit. It had all been instantly turned into nothingness. Who would have thought that this was a terrifying array that had just been set up in such a short time? One could see how terrifying Zhen Xiezi was. Soon, Qin Chen and the others had another bad premonition. There was an even more powerful divine light shuttling through the array! If they didn¡¯t sense it, they would die. Qin Chen quickly reminded them, ¡°Everyone, be careful. There seems to be some kind of change¡­¡± Qin Chen did not stop. He immediately took out his innate sword embryo and continuously slashed out with his sword. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t even cut through the barrier of the array. Qin Chen¡¯s heart started to sink. He did not know what to do now. Could the others withstand such a terrifying array? Qin Chen was no longer among them, so they could only rely on their own strength. However, it was clear that the power was extremely terrifying. It would be difficult for them to resist it. If they failed, they would soon die in the array. It should be known that this array was extremely terrifying. As long as they couldn¡¯t resist the attacks, they would die. No one could stop it. If Zhen Xiezi was still alive, he might have a way. But the other party was already dead. After Qin Chen had refined Zhen Xiezi¡¯s memories, he did thus understand quite a lot of the key points of setting up an array. However, he had never tried it out. This was his first time. He didn¡¯t know if he could break the array and let everyone out. Qin Chen kept sending the power of the array into the array, but there was still nothing he could do. There were no changes. Soon, the crowd couldn¡¯t resist the array¡¯s attacks and were soon injured. When the true dragon transformed into its human form, its shoulder was pierced through, and not even its shoulder bone was left! With such a terrifying wound, even the true dragon would not be able to last long. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others were standing behind the true dragon, which was why they were able to withstand the calamity. At that moment, the big scorpion was lying behind everyone. He had not fully woken up yet. Qin Chen walked over step by step. He had to break this array. In Qin Chen¡¯s opinion, the most suspicious thing on this ancient star was the statue. If he could find a way to break this array from the statue, it would be the best. Unfortunately, this sculpture didn¡¯t seem to have any other use but help people hide their auras. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen was extremely anxious. He immediately said, ¡°Check in!¡± If he didn¡¯t get something that could break the array, it was very likely that the true dragon and the others would die. That great array was truly too terrifying. [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the Ancient Supreme Holy Land. You have obtained the devil-breaking worm!] [Devil-breaking Worm: An extremely powerful little demonic beast. It had long since disappeared from this world. It can devour arrays and feeds on the power of the array. It can grow stronger to break more powerful arrays. It might even be able to break emperor arrays.] ¡°What?¡± Qin Chen was also extremely shocked. To think the devil-breaking worm that he had obtained from checking in had such great power! If it could even break an emperor array, didn¡¯t that mean that it would be easy to break through the array that Zhen Xiezi had set up? In that case, he should be able to save everyone. One had to know that the others were almost unable to hold on any longer. If this continued, they would probably die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly opened his hand, and a worm appeared in his palm. This worm was chubby and extremely cute. Qin Chen felt a headache coming on. Was this the devil-breaking worm? He didn¡¯t expect it to be so small. He was quite surprised, wondering if the devil-breaking worm could break the array and save everyone. Now, the longer he delayed, the more danger the others would be in. Therefore, Qin Chen quickly brought the devil-breaking worm back to the side of the array and placed it on the array. The devil-breaking worm let out a soft cry and began to devour the array. Soon, Qin Chen was surprised to find that the devil-breaking worm had produced a hole in the array! He was shocked. How did it do it? The devil-breaking worm looked just like an ordinary little worm. How could it have such a great ability? One must know that even though this wasn¡¯t an emperor array, it was still a superficial imitation of one. Ordinary people would not be able to do anything about this array. The devil-breaking worm wasn¡¯t big, so it could produce a small hole in the array in a short while. On top of that, the hole was expanding. Chapter 496 - 496 Shocking News 496 Shocking News Qin Chen was extremely excited to see the devil-breaking worm eating a small hole in the array so quickly. If this continued, they would soon be able to open up a passage for everyone to come out. The devil-breaking worm was very vulnerable because its body was very fragile. It looked like a giant caterpillar. However, as Qin Chen watched on, he was shocked. As the saying goes, one simply couldn¡¯t measure the sea and one shouldn¡¯t judge a book by its cover. The fact that this devil-breaking worm was able to devour the array with such a fragile body already showed how terrifying it was. The crowd was overjoyed. The true dragon and the others were extremely excited when they saw that the Elder King could make a small hole in the array. As long as they could hold on for a little longer, they should be able to escape from the hole. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but communicate with the devil-breaking worm, hoping that it would speed up to make a bigger hole in the array. As the devil-breaking worm had devoured a hole in the array, the array was affected. The emperor array¡¯s operation started to slow down. It looked as if it was about to die. The true dragon and the others heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they weren¡¯t able to resist the attacks of this terrifying array. If the array continued to operate, they might not be able to hold on until the hole was formed. After a short while, the little worm had finally devoured a hole big enough for a person to enter and exit. Qin Chen hurriedly sent a voice transmission, ¡°Brother dragon, you guys should come out quickly. It¡¯s dangerous to stay in there!¡± The true dragon and the others looked at the hole and nodded. Then, he, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and Yuji dragged the big scorpion and rushed toward the hole. When everyone came out, the big scorpion slowly woke up. He couldn¡¯t help but feel his scalp go numb. Although he had been unconscious the entire time and had been in a slumber, he could still feel the dangerous fluctuations that made his heart palpitate. The big scorpion woke up and coughed out blood. This time, he had suffered extremely serious injuries. After being sneak-attacked by the black stone golem, he was literally on the verge of death. Fortunately, the other party hadn¡¯t wanted to kill him. With the help of the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves, the big scorpion finally made it through. Everyone was extremely bewildered. The hole in the array was shrinking as if it was repairing itself. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with endless emotions. Zhen Xiezi was quite a talent. It was a pity that he had already died in his hands. With Zhen Xieiz¡¯s talent in the path of arrays, he would probably be able to look down on everyone in this world and become a powerful enemy. It was a pity that he had offended Qin Chen. He had made a mistake in his plan and wanted to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. As a result, he had been annihilated by Qin Chen¡¯s Chaos Divine Ring. What made Qin Chen feel a little regretful was that he did not expect that the black stone golem could actually slip away. God knows if it was because of the black stone golem¡¯s good luck, but he had been able to take advantage of the fact that Qin Chen had not yet woken up to escape. After that, everyone had a good rest on the ancient planet Then, Qin Chen walked to the statue again. He looked at the statue and felt as if there was something extraordinary in it. However, Qin Chen suppressed his curiosity and did not continue to investigate. This ancient planet was clearly extraordinary. Otherwise, the black stone golem would not have chosen to hide on this ancient planet. After everyone had recovered from their injuries, they tore open the void again and left the ancient planet, continuing their search for the remaining five places in the seven coordinates. After Qin Chen and the rest left, the statue seemed to come to life. Its eyes opened like in a fantasy, giving off an unreal feeling. The fluctuations emitted by the statue were extremely terrifying. If Qin Chen had led the group to explore the secrets of the statue, they might not have been able to leave. Then, the statue slowly closed its eyes as if nothing had happened. Qin Chen and the others continued to travel through the void. In the star field, they met some experts from other powerful cosmic races. The experts of the powerful cosmic races did not seem to be easy to deal with. However, when they sensed that there was a God Emperor-realm expert with Qin Chen and the rest, they immediately retreated far away, trying their best to avoid coming into contact with Qin Chen. The expert was the true dragon. It had taken on its human form and restrained its dragon¡¯s might. In this case, others would only think that it was a God Emperor-realm expert. Soon, an expert from a powerful cosmic race, who was covered in blood and seriously injured, staggered over. He happened to run into Qin Chen and the others. Before he could sense that there was a powerful existence in front of him, he bumped into Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen looked at him. He wondered why the latter was in such a sorry state. Could it be that he had just experienced a fierce battle? This person was obviously scared out of his wits. When he saw Qin Chen and the others suddenly appear in front of him, he was so scared that his entire body trembled. He wanted to leave quickly, but he was stopped by Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!¡± Qin Chen and the others had no intention of attacking him. Instead, they asked him why he was in this state. The expert of the powerful cosmic race was injured in many places, and his injuries looked particularly serious. He then told Qin Chen a piece of news. A terrifyingly powerful expert had suddenly appeared in this cosmic, claiming to want to establish a blood realm. Many experts wanted to see what was going on, but in the end, they unexpectedly lost their lives there and were refined into demonic puppets! When he heard this, Qin Chen felt as if waves were crashing in his heart. He quietly waited for the expert from the powerful race in the cosmic to finish speaking before letting the other party go. If he hadn¡¯t misheard, a blood realm had appeared and some experts had been refined into demonic puppets. The technique sounded so familiar. Wasn¡¯t it the same bloody man that had been trapped in the Tranquil Land with the ancient tree of life? Could he have appeared? This was not a good sign. If he were to successfully build the blood realm, it was very likely that he would order a hunt for Qin Chen and the others. In fact, the order to kill Qin Chen and the others had already been issued. Some of the experts who had not been refined into demonic puppets had become the blood realm¡¯s lackeys. They held the portraits of Qin Chen and the others in their hands and kept searching, trying to find them. Chapter 497 - 497 A Storm is Brewing 497 A Storm is Brewing A powerful figure appeared in the blood realm. It was the bloody man. His expression was calm. He was extremely curious about the secrets of Qin Chen and the others. He had reappeared in the world because the time had come. He wanted to get Qin Chen and the others in his hands as soon as possible. He felt that Qin Chen must have a big secret. He coveted the various powerful ultimate treasures of the other party. If Qin Chen was willing to submit, he would not mind taking the other party under his command again and refining him into a demonic puppet. If he didn¡¯t listen and dared to resist, he would simply kill the other party and take away his supreme treasures. In the distance, not long after Qin Chen and the others left, another figure appeared and secretly took out a portrait, sizing up Qin Chen and the others. He realized that they were extremely similar to the figures in the portrait. Could they be the people the cult master was looking for? He quickly brought this news back. Qin Chen and the others were clueless about the fact that they had been targeted and their whereabouts had been exposed. If there were no accidents, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the bloody man would personally lead people to hunt them down. One had to know that the bloody man was extremely terrifying. Even a peak God Emperor-realm expert would not be able to withstand a casual strike from him. It would be a piece of cake for him to kill Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly felt that the number of expert auras around him was increasing. Why? Yet, when he turned his head, he could see that these experts had hidden extremely well. It was as if they were avoiding them and did not want to be discovered. What was the meaning of this? A hint of killing intent appeared in the true dragon¡¯s eyes. It could smell something unusual, and a storm was brewing. Wasn¡¯t the current situation exactly a tell-tale that someone wanted to deal with them? With that, Qin Chen and the rest stopped in their tracks. Meanwhile, the number of experts¡¯ auras increased. Qin Chen calmly observed the situation, then said, ¡°All of you, come out. There¡¯s no point in hiding anymore.¡± Not long after, an expert appeared in front of them. It turned out to be a demonic puppet. Instantly, the killing intent in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes skyrocketed. As expected, the bloody man had appeared and was looking for them. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with killing intent. The demonic puppet said slowly, ¡± I advise you to surrender and follow us back to see the cult master. Otherwise, only death awaits you. Don¡¯t put up a stubborn resistance. With your current realm, you can¡¯t resist the cult master at all. The cult master¡¯s power is boundless. If you dare to disobey his will, you will bring disaster upon yourself!¡± When he heard this, the big scorpion roared with laughter, ¡°Who are you? Go back and tell your master, even if he comes to us, so what? We aren¡¯t afraid of him at all! Also, you¡¯ve been refined into a demonic puppet. You¡¯re neither a human nor a ghost. What kind of thing are you? Do you think you¡¯re qualified to talk to us? Get lost, or we¡¯ll kill you!¡± Upon hearing this, the demonic puppet¡¯s expression was on the verge of going berserk. However, he concealed it very well. He simply let out a cold snort and left. In his opinion, Qin Chen and the others would not be able to escape the cult master¡¯s pursuit. He didn¡¯t know why the cult master was so concerned about these guys that he had personally issued a killing order for them. They had been searching for a long time before finally finding Qin Chen and the others. A steady stream of experts was coming over. At that time, even if the cult master didn¡¯t make a move, they should be able to capture these guys with their strength. The cult master had said that if they could capture them alive, there would be great rewards! This was the best time to make a contribution. As long as they captured Qin Chen and the others, they would definitely be rewarded by the cult master. One had to know that the cult master was extremely powerful. He could be said to be among the strongest. As long as he was willing to give them some opportunities and fortunes, their strength would all have significant improvements. At the thought of this, a fiery passion rose in the demonic puppet¡¯s heart. What could bring more pleasure than great power? A piece of news was relayed back to the blood realm. A powerful demonic puppet quickly walked to the bloody man, knelt on one knee, and reported, ¡°Reporting to the cult master, we¡¯ve found the person you want.¡± The bloody man laughed when he heard this, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to find those fellows so quickly.¡± He then stood up, tore open the void, and left. When Qin Chen and the rest wanted to leave, they realized that they could not. If they wanted to leave, they would have to go through a bloody battle, because they were now surrounded by many powerful demonic puppets. It was simply unbelievable that the bloody man could create such a group of experts in such a short time. It seemed that the bloody man was not joking when he said he wanted to create a blood realm. Now, Qin Chen and the others bared their fangs. Since these demonic puppets wanted to capture them, they could try! Qin Chen then said to the crowd, ¡°Attack, kill!¡± In an instant, the true dragon transformed back into its true form, a huge true dragon. The scales on its body flickered with white light, and divine light shot out of its eyes, which was extremely soul-stirring! Its eyes seem to be able to see through heaven and earth. The true dragon¡¯s aura was extremely powerful. It had actually reached level 7 of the God Emperor realm. The true dragon then roared. It was a deafening dragon roar that showed that terrifying existence had appeared. The true dragon¡¯s bloodline was extremely powerful and was above everyone else. This was the real reason why they felt so pressured. At the same time, the crowd laughed. Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme, exploding with the power of the heavens. He then poured all of his divine power into the innate sword embryo and the extreme emperor weapon was instantly revived. The terrifying emperor¡¯s might that it brought with it spread out! Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and charged forward. Countless demonic puppets came forward, trying to stop Qin Chen and his group. It was a pity that they did not expect Qin Chen to be so terrifying. He had instantly unleashed shocking combat strength. The sword slashed out and swept across a large number of demonic puppets. The demonic puppets were not very powerful. Most of them were only in the God realm and Great God realm, so they were easily swept away by Qin Chen and the others. Yuji, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the big scorpion were not to be outdone. They gathered and launched a shocking attack on the demonic puppets. Chapter 498 - 498 God Emperor Realm Demonic Puppet 498 God Emperor Realm Demonic Puppet No matter what, Qin Chen and the others had obtained powerful fortunes and had once consumed the leaves of the ancient tree of life. Naturally, they were now much stronger and could easily resist some of the demonic puppets. The true dragon spat out a stream of dragon flames at the countless demonic puppets. The dragon flame was the innate flame of the true dragon race. The terrifying flames instantly turned into a fire dragon that swept toward the demonic puppets. When they saw the flames shot out by the God Emperor realm true dragon, the demonic puppets were so frightened they felt as if their souls had left their bodies. This was because the flames were extremely terrifying. Even the void was burned as the fire spread toward them. If the flames were to burn them, there was a high chance that they would die on the spot and turn into nothingness. Even their primordial spirits would not be able to escape. At this moment, an expert suddenly stood out. It was a demonic puppet who had just arrived. His aura was at level 5 of the God Emperor realm as well. He blocked the dragon flames spat out by the true dragon. Qin Chen and the others could deal with those small fries with ease. They did not expect that even a God Emperor-realm demonic puppet would show up. Everyone felt huge pressure. One had to know that this was a God Emperor-realm demonic puppet who could hold back the true dragon. Currently, quite several demonic puppets were still attacking Qin Chen and his group. Suddenly, Qin Chen let out an angry roar. He put away the innate sword embryo, circulated his acupoints to the extreme, and punched forward. The power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was extremely terrifying. It swept away a large number of demonic puppets and turned them into blood mist. The terrifying strike frightened many of the demonic puppets. What kind of monster was this human expert? Was he still a f*cking human? Even the Great God-realm experts were far inferior to Qin Chen. No one had expected that he would be so terrifying. Qin Chen hurriedly said to the crowd, ¡°Let¡¯s end this quickly!¡± He could guess that the reason why these demonic puppets were willing to pay such a huge price to stop them was probably that the bloody man was about to arrive, or was on his way. When the bloody man arrived, Qin Chen and the others would not be able to escape. At the thought of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with strong fighting intent. He continued to attack, trying to destroy all the demonic puppets. Only by exterminating these demonic puppets could they leave this place safely. Otherwise, if they continued to drag this on, they would most likely die here. The current Qin Chen had become extremely powerful, almost as if he had been reborn. The demonic puppets had no way of even getting close to him. Qin Chen was like a God of War, sweeping away all his enemies. Those small shrimps were not worthy of his attention. Even if their attacks landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body, they couldn¡¯t cause much damage to him. After all, Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. He could even withstand an attack from a God Emperor. Furthermore, there were mysterious Dao patterns of heaven and earth on his bones. Although Qin Chen could not refine them, they provided him with a significant amount of defense. Only when he was in a life-and-death situation would the Dao patterns appear to help Qin Chen resist the attack. Those demonic puppets could not even get close to Qin Chen, so how could they put him in a life-and-death situation? The true dragon let out a roar. The God Emperor-realm demonic puppet before it was extremely difficult to deal with. The God Emperor-realm demonic puppet said in a crazed state, ¡°You can¡¯t escape. Our cult master is already on his way. When he arrives, you¡¯ll be better off dead! It¡¯s better to surrender now, only then can I still plead for you. Maybe if the cult master is in a good mood, he will refine you into demonic puppets and spare your lives!¡± Hearing this, the true dragon immediately flew into a rage. It was a true dragon, a divine beast between heaven and earth. How could it be refined into a demonic puppet? If that were to happen, it would be better to just kill him. ¡°Die!¡± The true dragon roared and launched another terrifying attack. Its huge dragon claw condensed the divine power of heaven and earth, which seemed to have turned into the size of a mountain, and slapped forward. The demonic puppet¡¯s heart trembled. He had never thought that the true dragon would be so powerful. In an instant, he was pushed back a thousand miles by the claw, and a terrible injury appeared on his body. Looking at the horrifying state of his injuries, he was furious. In the God Emperor-realm demonic puppet¡¯s eyes, since the cult master had specifically asked for these people, he would definitely not let them go. Now, the other party had even injured him. The true dragon was simply courting death! When the cult master arrived later, he would make them wish they were dead. Immediately, the God Emperor-realm demonic puppet charged forward again. He held a long saber in his hand and instantly slashed out. The blade attack was extremely terrifying. It tore the void apart, and a power that seemed to be able to shatter an ancient planet struck the true dragon¡¯s body. Unfortunately, the demonic puppet did not expect the defensive power of the true dragon¡¯s scales to be so terrifying. Only blood flowed out, and not a single piece of the dragon scales was broken. One must know that a true dragon was a divine beast between heaven and earth. The fact that the God Emperor-realm demonic puppet could make the true dragon bleed was already something he could be proud of. The true dragon immediately launched another attack with its dragon claws, its attack as heavy as mountains, smacking down toward the opponent. Seeing the true dragon attack him once again, the God Emperor-realm demonic puppet felt fear in his heart. If he were to be beaten to death before the cult master arrived, how unacceptable that would be! He immediately brandished the long saber to block the attack, but unfortunately, the divine saber trembled like it was about to be shattered by this attack. In an instant, the attack heavily struck the demonic puppet¡¯s chest, sending him flying and smashing into an ancient planet. In an instant, the true dragon hurriedly shouted at Qin Chen and the others, ¡°Elder King, hurry up and leave!¡± There were some fluctuations in the void that seemed to be getting closer and closer to them. If they were not wrong, the person who was coming was definitely that bloody man, who wanted to kill them. Qin Chen immediately nodded and said to Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the rest, ¡°Let¡¯s run!¡± Then, he tore open the void and led everyone in. The God Emperor-realm demonic puppet did not dare to give chase. This time, the casualties were too heavy, and the ancient planet was filled with demonic puppets¡¯ limbs. It was like a scene from purgatory. Although they had been refined into demonic puppets, they were still made of flesh and blood. Chapter 499 - 499 Being Hunted Down 499 Being Hunted Down In the void, a fluctuation rippled, and the figure of an expert appeared. His face was cold. It was the bloody man. At this moment, he saw the miserable scene. These were all the demonic puppets that he had painstakingly refined. He had never thought that they would suffer such heavy casualties. Obviously, the corpses of Qin Chen and the others were not here. Not one of his demonic puppets had managed to kill a party of their opponents! The bloody man was furious. With a single thought, many demonic puppets knelt and screamed in pain. ¡°A bunch of trash! If you can¡¯t even stop them, what¡¯s the point of keeping you around?¡± The demonic puppets were terrified and kept begging for mercy. In the end, the bloody man had no choice but to stop. Right now, the demonic domain¡¯s experts were still too few. No matter how weak these pieces of trash were, he could only keep them for now. If he could really create a demonic domain, he would definitely kill these guys without even blinking then. At this moment, the bloody man was extremely furious. He had planned to kill Qin Chen and the others, but they might have already left this star field. Qin Chen and the others were greatly shocked. They had just been in a precarious situation. He could almost feel the strong blood energy fluctuation. The bloody man should¡¯ve arrived just moments later they tore the void apart and left. If they had been a little later, they might not have been able to escape. The true dragon¡¯s heart was beating wildly. It did not feel good about being hunted down by the bloody man. If it were to break through beyond the God Emperor realm, it vowed to find the bloody man to settle the score at the first moment. ¡°That bastard! I will eat him one day!¡± The true dragon growled indignantly. They did not dare to stay any longer where they were. They tore through the void a few times before they finally felt relieved. They were already quite a distance away from the battlefield. Even if the bloody man wanted to catch up, he wouldn¡¯t know where they were. Now that many had their eyes on them, Qin Chen felt great pressure. It would not be long before the world would fall into chaos. Soon, more experts would appear, as well as some old undying monsters. Qin Chen had offended many people. For example, this time, the bloody man wanted to kill him. Fortunately, they had escaped quickly. Otherwise, they would have been in trouble. Therefore, Qin Chen now understood the importance of making the best use of his time to cultivate. He also knew that his enemies would not give him too much time. When the world fell into chaos, it would probably be the time of his death. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quickly led everyone to search for the remaining five places of the seven coordinates. They were in a hurry along the way and made haste. They rarely stopped to rest, because the moment they did so, they might be discovered by the lackeys of the bloody man, and the latter would come to kill them in person. As long as there was news of them, the bloody man would be like a shark that had smelled blood. Qin Chen and the others disguised themselves. Although their disguises were not very advanced, it was still difficult for ordinary people to see through their true appearances. As long as they didn¡¯t reveal their cultivation and strength, they believed they wouldn¡¯t be discovered. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the rest left in a hurry. They wanted to find the remaining places in the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. On the other side, the bloody man laughed. He had unexpectedly found the blood left behind by the true dragon during the battle. One had to know that his cultivation technique was related to the path of blood. With the blood, it was almost equivalent to him having grasped the traces of Qin Chen and the others. In an instant, he used a secret technique to refine the true dragon¡¯s blood that he had gathered. The blood left behind by the true dragon spread out like a barrier, and the image of the true dragon was revealed on it. The true dragon, Qin Chen, and the others were still tearing through the void in the star field. At this point, the bloody man could easily find their current location by using the blood left behind by the true dragon. Although this bit of blood wouldn¡¯t last long, it was enough for the bloody man to find the whereabouts of his targets. Then, he burst into laughter and disappeared. He tore the void apart to find Qin Chen and the others. As long as he could find them, they could not escape even if they had wings. At this moment, the true dragon suddenly had a bad feeling. It opened its eyes wide as it felt that someone seemed to be watching it. Yet, it didn¡¯t see anything. What was going on? Qin Chen saw that the true dragon had stopped in its tracks and immediately asked, ¡°Brother dragon, what¡¯s wrong? ¡± The true dragon explained its feelings, and Qin Chen¡¯s eyes immediately widened. This was not a good sign. Could it be that the bloody man was still following them? One had to know that the true dragon had already reached level 7 of the God Emperor realm. Some of its earlier premonitions had already come true, and its intuition was very accurate. If it had sensed such a change, it would mean that the bloody man had a way to track them. What method was the other party using? Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know, but they were quite sure that they might be in danger again. Immediately, Qin Chen tore open the void and left with everyone. However, they discovered that a powerful existence was approaching them, getting nearer and nearer. This fluctuation never left. Qin Chen and the others felt a chill down their spines, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. They might really be in danger now. Qin Chen hurriedly led everyone to tear open the void and escape. The bloody man was still chasing after them unhurriedly as if he was adamant that he could catch up even if they fled to the ends of the earth. ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Why could the bloody man track them? Was there something on their bodies? Qin Chen thought about it calmly and realized that the possibility was not high. They basically hadn¡¯t left any evidence for the bloody man to track them down. Then, he suddenly thought of something. Perhaps the bloody man could track them through the blood left behind from their battle. This was the only possibility that could explain why they were being hunted down. During the battle, Qin Chen didn¡¯t bleed, and neither did Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others. They didn¡¯t even fight at close range. Only the true dragon¡¯s scales had been struck by the God Emperor-realm demonic puppet, leaving behind some dragon blood. Chapter 500 - 500 The Eight Trigrams God 500 The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array Perhaps it was the unremarkable dragon blood that they did not have time to clean up and ended up in the hands of the bloody man. This was the only explanation as to why they could be tracked down no matter how hard they tried to escape. The logic behind it was apparent. Qin Chen and the others ran away frantically. The only thing they could do now was to stall for time. Qin Chen racked his brain for ways to break out of this situation, trying to get rid of the bloody man. At this point, they only had one chance, and that was to return to the ancient planet with the statue that could conceal one¡¯s aura. If they were to hide there and not be discovered, he believed that even the bloody man would not be able to find them. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the rest hurriedly rushed toward the ancient planet they had left. They tore through the void and headed there. Only when they arrived there could they stop to catch their breath and find a way to break out of this situation. Moreover, there were still powerful remnants of divinity there. Qin Chen could probably check in again and perhaps obtain some treasures to resolve the current danger. The situation was perilous now. Qin Chen and the others could not care less about their divine power that was being consumed at a crazy rate. They kept swallowing heavenly treasures as they dashed toward the ancient planet with all their might. Fortunately, they were not too far away from the ancient planet. Very soon, Qin Chen and the rest could see the ancient planet in the distance. ¡°As long as we can reach that ancient planet, we should be able to stop and rest for a while. Don¡¯t give up, everyone.¡± At this moment, the one who had it the worst was the big scorpion. His face was pale since the divine power in his body could not withstand such a crazy consumption. The fact that he could keep up with the crowd was because they had unknowingly slowed down. Otherwise, the big scorpion would have fallen behind. When the big scorpion saw the ancient planet in the distance, a feeling of madness rose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and steeled himself. Then, he squeezed out the remaining divine power in his body again and followed the others toward the ancient planet. Only when they arrived on the ancient planet could they take a break to catch their breath. Otherwise, they would most likely die at the hands of the bloody man who was chasing after them. The bloody man would not let them off easily. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s hair stood on end. If he accidentally left his blood behind and it was collected by the bloody man, would he also be hunted down and killed? The pressure brought about by such fear could not be understood by others. The true dragon had guesses about what had happened, and it felt extremely guilty. If it had not spilled its blood, they would have probably escaped long ago. To think they were still being hunted down. The bloody man seemed to have set his mind on them and wouldn¡¯t stop until he killed them. At this moment, they finally arrived on the ancient planet. Qin Chen and the others rushed in and their auras disappeared in an instant. In that instant, all the scenes that the bloody man could see in his mind with the true dragon¡¯s blood disappeared. As Qin Chen and the rest approached the ancient planet, the blood seemed to lose its function and exploded. What was going on? To think his secret tracking technique had stopped working, and even the true dragon¡¯s blood had completely dissipated. The bloody man was unwilling to give up. He was only a step away from catching up with Qin Chen and the others. But now, he had lost them once again. Soon, Qin Chen and the others arrived in front of the statue. Qin Chen quickly walked up to it. In an instant, the system¡¯s voice appeared in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with a pleasant surprise. As expected, the divinity of this place had not completely disappeared. He could still check-in. He immediately muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in.¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in to the Ancient Supreme Holy Land. You have obtained the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array!] [Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array: An array created by powerful ancient human sages. Although it is not as dangerous as an emperor array, it has power comparable to the emperor¡¯s might. It has supreme power and can trap and kill quasi-emperor realm experts. An ordinary quasi-emperor who steps into the array will die without a doubt.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with joy. He did not expect to obtain such a large array. Since the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array had such terrifying power, didn¡¯t that mean that it could be used to deal with the bloody man? As long as he set up the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, he didn¡¯t believe that they couldn¡¯t resist the bloody man. As long as they could hold him back for a while, they could escape again. In any case, the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was not something they could break. As for whether the bloody man could break it, it would depend on his luck. If the bloody man was an ordinary quasi-emperor, he might probably be killed directly by the array. However, it was obvious that the bloody man had not reached the quasi-emperor realm. Perhaps they could use the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array to completely get rid of him. If that were to happen, Qin Chen and the others could be rid of one lurking threat. The bloody man was too terrifying. If they were unlucky, they might die at his hands. If this continued, they would most likely die. Seeing the bloody man chasing after them and the fluctuation getting closer and closer, Qin Chen hurriedly set up the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was not too complicated. When Qin Chen had obtained the array, he had already completely understood how to set it up. He quickly finished setting up the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. A terrifying aura burst out, and Qin Chen quickly covered it up. The array was a little weak because he did not have enough materials. That being said, it should not be a problem to trap the bloody man. At the thought of this, Qin Chen concealed the aura of the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. With this, he believed that the bloody man should unknowingly fall into the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. The latter might be trapped in it soon, or even die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart became excited. Even if they couldn¡¯t kill the bloody man, they would then have a chance to catch their breath and leave the ancient planet. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest did not notice that the statue had opened its eyes silently. Although the statue¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t come to life, they were open like an illusion, revealing a secret power. Qin Chen and the others did not notice it at all. Chapter 501 - 501 Search 501 Search At this moment, the bloody man, who had been chasing after Qin Chen and the others from the last scene shown by the true dragon¡¯s blood, trembled. He had rushed over only to see an ancient planet that felt was extremely unusual. The power of this ancient planet seemed to have surprised him. He looked forward and found that it could block his spiritual will. In other words, his spiritual will could not detect anything. Looking at the ancient planet, the bloody man seemed to have understood something. It was most likely due to the ancient planet that Qin Chen and the others had suddenly disappeared. There must be something mysterious about this ancient planet. Following this, the bloody man flew over and landed on the ancient planet. Just as Qin Chen and the others had expected, the bloody man sensed the extraordinariness of the ancient planet. The other party soon descended on the ancient planet with a powerful aura. Qin Chen and the others concealed their aura fluctuations, not letting the other party discover them. On this ancient planet, as long as they concealed their aura fluctuations, they would not be discovered. The ancient planet could shield one¡¯s aura and fluctuations, making it impossible for the other party to find them. The bloody man landed on the ancient planet and smiled. It seemed that Qin Chen and the others must have been hiding on this ancient planet to avoid his pursuit. Otherwise, how could they possibly destroy his secret technique? As he thought of this, the bloody man walked forward step by step. Soon, he found an array, and a smile appeared on his face. The array had been left behind after Zhen Xiezi¡¯s death. It was a powerful array that was a superficial imitation of an emperor array. It had not dissipated and was still operating. ¡°It can¡¯t be they want to use this array to deal with me?¡± The bloody man laughed contemptuously, then gently slammed his palm on the array. Unexpectedly, the terrifying array burst apart like a bubble right in front of the bloody man. Qin Chen and the others were shocked. They were observing in the dark, and they did not expect such a powerful array to be so vulnerable in front of the bloody man. Then, the bloody man laughed as he said loudly, ¡°I know you¡¯re hiding on this ancient planet. When I find you, the consequences will be very serious. It¡¯s possible that you¡¯ll end up in a worse state than being refined into demonic puppets.¡± After he finished speaking, he began to search again for where Qin Chen and the others were hiding. Qin Chen and the others had long discovered the bloody man¡¯s arrival, so they had been avoiding him. Soon, they saw that the bloody man accidentally activated the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was instantly activated. Even the bloody man had not expected it to be so terrifying! Before the bloody man could react, he was already deep in the array. The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was said to be able to trap and kill even quasi-emperor-realm experts. Ordinary quasi-emperor-realm experts would die in it. The bloody man had yet to reach the quasi-emperor realm and was now quite surprised. This array looked very extraordinary. Could it be that the previous array was a smokescreen while this one was specially reserved to deal with him? He had been desperately searching for the whereabouts of Qin Chen and the others. He did not expect that they had already set up an array, waiting for him to fall into the trap. Then, the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array suddenly started operating with a boom. The power of the array circulated within the terrifying array. An eight-trigram pattern descended from the sky! The target below was the bloody man. The bloody man frowned when he felt the powerful fluctuation land on his body. He could feel that the array was extraordinary. In an instant, he seemed to be enveloped in it, and there was nothing around him. He could only see an eight-trigram pattern appearing beneath his feet. The eight-trigram pattern contained both the gate of life and the gate of death. In the northeast direction was a hidden power of endless vitality and a chance of survival. If the bloody man wanted to break out of the array, he had to crack the eight trigrams. However, the eight trigrams had 16 variations, and this was only the simplified version. If he couldn¡¯t break the eight trigrams, he would be trapped in it and die. The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was not only used to trap people but also had a certain attacking power. If the array were to operate at full strength, even the bloody man would have to be careful. Soon, the fluctuations within exploded. It was obvious that the bloody man had completely activated the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Everyone quickly looked over. However, they couldn¡¯t see anything. They could only see a blurry figure. Qin Chen immediately opened his third eye, the Netherworld Eye. He instantly looked at the scene in the array. The bloody man¡¯s face no longer had the slightest arrogance and was extremely solemn instead. He could tell that the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was extraordinary. Although he had never seen such a strange array before, if he did not treat it seriously, he would most likely suffer a great loss inside. At the thought of this, the bloody man hurriedly blocked the surrounding power of the array. At the same time, he knew that if he continued to be trapped like this, it might lead to more changes. This Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was definitely not that simple. He then began to wander around, but unfortunately, with every step he took, the ground under his feet would change, and he could not find a way to retreat. He could only brace himself and continue to move forward. In front of him was a path of life but also a path of death. He quickly rushed forward as terrifying blood energy condensed on his body. One had to know that he had accumulated the blood energy through years of cultivation. It was so terrifying that it could even corrode the void. In an instant, he struck out and tried to corrode the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Unexpectedly, the moment the blood energy was unleashed, it was instantly dissipated by the power of the eight trigrams. Nothing was left. If the bloody man himself was the one facing the power, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. This was the price of choosing the wrong array gate. At the thought of this, the bloody man felt a sense of fear. He slowly walked towards the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, trying to open it. Yet, the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array became unexpectedly even more terrifying. The various changes in it were beyond his expectations. There were a few times when he was in deep danger and almost got seriously injured. The bloody man was furious. He had not expected that the human cultivators would be able to force him into such a sorry state. It seemed that they still had many magic items on them. Chapter 502 - 502 The Bloody Mans Scheme 502 The Bloody Man¡¯s Scheme If the bloody man could obtain Qin Chen and the others¡¯ magic items and kill them, those items would definitely be of help to him. As the bloody man thought of this, a murderous intent rose in his heart. He had to break the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. After it was broken, Qin Chen and the others would be eliminated. God knows how many more secrets Qin Chen and the others were hiding. The bloody man had never seen such a strange cultivator. He had too many treasures on him. The bloody man dodged the sudden attacks in the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Each of these attacks was extremely fierce. Soon, he accidentally took another wrong step and triggered the array. In an instant, an attack was launched and landed on the bloody man¡¯s chest. The bloody man was sent flying and crashed into the ground. He was bewildered because the fierce attack was too powerful. He looked at his chest and found that it had caved in. Fortunately, his current body was no ordinary body, but one condensed from blood. With a thought, the huge hole in his chest was instantly repaired as if it had never appeared. However, the impact caused the power of the array to surge through and crash about within the bloody man¡¯s body, which made him quite irritated. He immediately sat down cross-legged and resisted the power with all his heart, managing to resist the surging power of the array within his body. Then, he walked out and looked at the array. He did not expect the changes in the array to have so many layers. When he looked at it again, he realized that he could not remember what had changed! Was he going to be trapped to death in here? The bloody man was extremely furious. How was the array set up? The bloody man struck out a palm and condensed a clone who was covered in blood like an illusion. The clone moved forward, dodging several attacks by a hair¡¯s breadth. Then, it took a wrong step and was instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist. The bloody man¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. He did not expect that there would be so many changes in the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Moreover, all these changes were extremely terrifying, with the ability to block him in an instant. The bloody man carefully explored the area in front of him again. A terrifying power of the array blasted toward him, and he directly extended a fist to destroy it. Unfortunately, the power of the array was continuously condensing. If he stayed in the wrong spot, he would suffer an even more violent attack! As the bloody man thought of this, he hurriedly continued to move forward. He did not expect that the changes ahead would be even more complicated and rapid. He had already lost count of the number of times he had changed his position. He had to move at an extremely fast speed, leaving him with almost no time to think. He steeled himself and stepped on a spot. In an instant, he was hit on the back by a force, which sent him forward and left him on one of the array cores. The array core exuded a terrifying power and instantly obliterated one of the bloody man¡¯s arms. The bloody man was extremely furious and let out a low growl. He had not expected that one of his arms would be crippled so quickly. One had to know that he was the bloody man. Even a peak God Emperor-realm expert was nothing in his eyes. He could kill the latter with a snap of his fingers. In the end, he had not expected that there would be such a terrifying eight trigrams array. He was stuck. It was impossible for him to advance or retreat. For a moment, he had no way to back down. Qin Chen and the others watched from the outside. He wanted to know if the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array could trap and kill the bloody man. One had to know that this bloody man was extremely terrifying. If the array could kill the other party, it would save Qin Chen a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. It seemed that the items provided by the system were of high quality. This bloody man was not enough to fight against him. Without anyone noticing, the statue on the ancient planet seemed to be slowly exuding a lot of divine power. If one noticed it, one would be very puzzled. The sculpture was originally a dead object, so how could it be exuding divine power? Qin Chen and the rest did not notice this at all. Instead, they continued to look at the bloody man who was fighting against the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. The bloody man obviously did not expect that the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array would be so terrifying, and he was soon injured. However, his body was formed by blood. He wasn¡¯t afraid of such attacks at all. With a roar, he restored his arm that had been destroyed. His face was getting paler and paler, losing its rosiness. If this continued, the energy in his body would be depleted. At that time, he would die from exhaustion. At the thought of this, the bloody man felt indignant. He had survived even an emperor array, so how could he die in this nameless array? Although he had to admit that this nameless array was extremely terrifying, he had no intention of admitting defeat and dying here. In an instant, the bloody man roared again, and a terrifying power fluctuation burst out from his body, making the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array tremble. What was going on? Qin Chen watched on. To think the bloody man had been hiding his strength before. Only now did he unleash all his strength, trying to break the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array quickly. Unexpectedly, the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was simply terrifying. Even if the bloody man used all his strength, it was still difficult for him to break the array. The Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was the kind of array that would weaken against a weak opponent and become stronger against a strong opponent. The bloody man sniffed a wisp of danger. If this continued, he would most likely be severely injured here. Once he was severely injured, even if he could break the array, so what? Qin Chen and the others would not let go of this great opportunity. Although a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, what if Qin Chen took out another array that was exactly the same as the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array? Then, wouldn¡¯t he be trapped in an array again and be obliterated by the power of the array? At the thought of this, the bloody man came up with a scheme. Chapter 503 - 503 Idiot 503 Idiot The bloody man wanted to lure Qin Chen out. As for how to trick the other party, that would depend on the bloody man¡¯s strength. Soon, the bloody man rushed to the front, trying to break the array. He did not expect the array to be so terrifying. No matter how much power he released, it would be reflected in an instant and hit himself. Slowly, the bloody man seemed to have figured out some patterns. He began to consciously distinguish where he should step in the eight trigrams to not trigger the restrictions of the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. However, this was the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. How could he understand it in such a short time? Soon, the bloody man was suppressed in the array. It didn¡¯t take long for him to lose his strength. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Chen and the others were excited. Although the true dragon and the others did not know what the current situation was, Qin Chen could tell them what he had seen with his Netherworld Eye. They thus knew that the bloody man had been beaten to the ground in the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. As he thought of this, Qin Chen immediately realized that this was a great opportunity. Perhaps he could try to speed up the death of the bloody man. After all, it would take a lot of time for the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array to completely obliterate the bloody man. If Qin Chen and the others were to make a move, they could open the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. At that time, the bloody man would not be able to use any of his abilities. Once they occupied the life gate of the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, they would be in an undefeatable position. If they launched an attack at that time, coupled with the power of the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, the bloody man would not be able to escape at all. He would die without a doubt! Qin Chen and the others looked at each other and finalized the plan. Everyone rushed into the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Only Qin Chen knew how many changes there were in the array. If he did not lead the way, everyone would die in a short time once in there. At this moment, Qin Chen hurriedly descended into the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array and stood on the life gate with the others. At the same time, the bloody man also realized that he had finally lured Qin Chen and the others out. As long as the other party was in the array, he would be able to kill them. At that time, with the treasures of Qin Chen and the others, it should be easy to break this array. Thinking of this, the bloody man began to move. His eyes flew open. On the other side, Qin Chen and the others were well prepared. They had already guessed that the bloody man would not die so easily. For someone like the bloody man, even if he were to die, it would not be so quick. Soon, Qin Chen and the others discovered that the bloody man had begun to release his aura. It was like a volcano erupting, instantly shaking the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. In their eyes, the bloody man had become extremely huge. Even the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array could not trap him anymore. Fortunately, it was not easy for the bloody man to break free from the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Everyone looked at Qin Chen. As soon as he gave the order, they would immediately attack the bloody man. They would do anything just to exterminate the bloody man. After all, the bloody man was like the Sword of Damocles above their heads that could fall on them at any time. They were all mentally prepared. Qin Chen immediately said, ¡°Kill!¡± In an instant, numerous attacks were launched at the bloody man. The bloody man laughed, ¡°Have I finally lured you out? Idiots!¡± Then, he suddenly shot out several blood energy attacks. Before his blood energy could get close to Qin Chen and the others, it was dissipated by the power of the array. The blood energy turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye as if it had never appeared. The bloody man¡¯s eyes widened. What was going on? Why couldn¡¯t his attacks hit Qin Chen and the others? Could it be that they could control this array? He had not thought of the possibility that he was at the gate of death, while Qin Chen and the others were at the gate of life. The gate of life was the only way to survive in the array. It was almost impossible to let the bloody man¡¯s attack land on Qin Chen and the others. As soon as they attacked, they triggered countless equally terrifying power of the array to surge and fall on the bloody man. Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the maximum. The heavens rumbled as he slashed out. The terrifying sword energy caused the void to split open. The power of the innate sword embryo was extremely terrifying. A wave of chaotic sword energy slashed at the bloody man. At this moment, the bloody man could not hold on any longer. It wasn¡¯t difficult for him to block Qin Chen¡¯s attack, but the important thing was that the array was also attacking him at the same time. Countless attacks from the array landed on the bloody man, and he immediately felt as if he was about to die. He was almost unable to withstand the attacks. Fortunately, he managed to dodge the attacks from Qin Chen and the others and the power of the array with his powerful movement technique. The ground was blasted into pieces, leaving a huge empty pit. This made the bloody man take a sharp intake of cold air. What kind of attack could be so terrifying? How could this dogshit array possess such a powerful might? No matter how much the bloody man refused to believe or admit it, the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was indeed very terrifying. Qin Chen and the rest attacked again. They saw that the bloody man¡¯s attack could not even hit them. Didn¡¯t this mean that they could attack the bloody man while the latter could only passively be attacked by him? If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t take too long for the bloody man to be destroyed. After all, the bloody man was not made of iron, nor was he a God. The energy in his body would be exhausted eventually. When that time came, it would be the time of death for the other party. If Qin Chen and the others could get rid of the bloody man, it would save them a lot of trouble. During their first encounter with the bloody man, the latter had many demonic puppets under him. There were even demonic puppets in the God Emperor realm. If Qin Chen and the others were suddenly surrounded by countless demonic puppets one day, they would have a slim chance of survival. Therefore, no matter what, they had to solve the problem from the source and eliminate this bloody man. Only by eliminating the other party could everyone feel at ease. Chapter 504 - 504 Sealing Off the Gate of Life 504 Sealing Off the Gate of Life Otherwise, Qin Chen and the others would be hunted down by the bloody man. Once the other party started coming after them, he would be extremely ruthless. He wanted to kill them. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was immediately filled with excitement. If this continued, they should be able to kill the bloody man soon. ¡°Let¡¯s kill him quickly. Otherwise, if he uses some secret technique to escape from the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, we might not have such a chance again!¡± Everyone nodded immediately. As long as the bloody man was killed in the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, they could rest in peace. The big scorpion took the initiative to attack. He shouted as he attacked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you very powerful? If you¡¯re so capable, come and kill me now! Hurry up and do it. I can¡¯t wait any longer. Don¡¯t just stand there and watch. If you have the ability, then do it!¡± The bloody man¡¯s face was gloomy. He had never thought that he would be provoked like this. If not for the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, he could have easily killed these human cultivators without any effort. But now, he couldn¡¯t help but be apprehensive. This was because the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array was too terrifying. Qin Chen and the others occupied the gate of life, which made the bloody man notice the key. If he could occupy the gate of life, he would probably be able to escape from this array. He immediately rushed toward Qin Chen and the others, wanting to kill them directly. Every step the bloody man took, he stepped on the constantly changing array gates. However, this time, he seemed to have found a pattern and did not trigger any attacks. He continued to charge toward Qin Chen and the others. Soon, the bloody man was near them. Qin Chen and the others immediately had a bad feeling. If this guy occupied the gate of life, it would not take long for him to escape from the array. At that time, they might die. At the thought of this, Qin Chen hurriedly shouted to the crowd, ¡°Destroy him, quick!¡± Following this, everyone hurriedly launched their attacks in an attempt to kill the approaching bloody man. It was a pity that the bloody man was extremely fast and had already arrived before Qin Chen and the others in the blink of an eye. Seeing Qin Chen, the bloody man¡¯s heart was filled with anger. It was because of this fellow that he had fallen into such a difficult situation. Then, the bloody man attacked crazily, sending out a full-power attack. Qin Chen could feel that this attack was probably enough to annihilate everyone. Even the God Emperor-realm true dragon might be killed directly. After all, the attack was too terrifying. Qin Chen took a step forward and blocked the attack with his body. He had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, so he might be able to resist it. Straight after, Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body slammed into the true dragon¡¯s body. Everyone hurriedly supported Qin Chen. The bloody man walked over step by step, and it seemed that it would not take long for him to reach them. When that time came, death would be their end. It was very likely that they would all be exterminated by the bloody man. ¡°Let¡¯s get out of here quickly,¡± Qin Chen quickly said. He spat out a mouthful of blood with every word he said. His internal organs were severely damaged and were on the verge of shattering. If not for the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, which helped him block most of the attacks, he might have already died. The crowd did not dare to delay and quickly left with Qin Chen. Qin Chen decisively sealed the gate of life with the power of the array. In an instant, the bloody man was trapped within the array again. After Qin Chen and the rest quickly left, the others realized that he could not hold on any longer. His pupils were dilated, and his aura was constantly weakening. His life force was decreasing. Qin Chen hurriedly took out a leaf from the ancient tree of life. He wanted to swallow it and refine it, but he did not expect that he had no more power left. His entire body was in excruciating pain. Holy Maiden Mu Xue quickly stuffed the leaf into Qin Chen¡¯s mouth. This way, Qin Chen could start refining and healing his injuries. Qin Chen had almost been killed by the bloody man¡¯s attack. But fortunately, the other party was temporarily trapped inside the array. After that, Qin Chen hurriedly began to refine the leaves of the ancient tree of life. The leaves contained a powerful vitality that entered his body, repairing his internal organs. Unfortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries were too severe. Even with the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves, he could barely hold on. Fortunately, after about an hour, Qin Chen could finally gasp for breath as if he had come back to life. He had just walked past the gates of hell, and the feeling was truly too terrifying. After that, Qin Chen swallowed and refined many heavenly treasures. Only then did he manage to stabilize his injuries and stop them from worsening. In the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array, the bloody man was still trying to break through the barrier in front of the gate of life. As long as he could break the gate of life, he would naturally find a way to leave this terrifying array. Qin Chen was supported to stand. When he saw the bloody man frantically breaking the array, he immediately understood that the array could no longer hold the latter, It was only a matter of time before the other party broke free. Qin Chen had set up the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array in a hurry, so there were many parts that were not completely perfected. It was already very good that they could stop the bloody man for a while. Then, he quickly stood up. Feeling that his injuries were much better, he said to the crowd, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± If they didn¡¯t leave now, they might die here. Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone immediately understood their situation. The true dragon tore open the void and brought Qin Chen and the others across the void. Qin Chen¡¯s internal organs could be said to be in an extremely bad state. Even though the leaves of the ancient tree of life were constantly repairing his body, a crazy residual power was still trying to destroy his internal organs. These were the remnants of the bloody man¡¯s attack. At that moment, the bloody man in the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array seemed to have sensed something. He immediately became solemn, no longer as arrogant as before. What was going on? he seemed to have felt a wave of fluctuation. Thinking of this, he seized the time to break the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. At this point, he had found the weakness of the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. As such, he was much faster at breaking the array and making rapid progress. Chapter 505 - 505 Emperor Star Divine Pill 505 Emperor Star Divine Pill When the bloody man finally broke free from the array, he realized that an incredible existence seemed to have awakened on the ancient planet. A terrifying fluctuation descended on him. What was going on? When he searched for the source of the power, he realized that it was a statue on the ancient planet. He immediately felt his blood run cold. He clearly saw the statue open its eyes as if it was alive! The eyes seemed to carry endless pressure! If he were to remain on this ancient planet any longer, there was a high chance that he would be killed by this terrifying power. He had no idea what kind of place this ancient planet was or what its origin was. Qin Chen and the others had lured him here, wanting to use the array to trap and kill him. The bloody man hadn¡¯t expected to trigger the statue after Qin Chen and the others left. Suddenly, the entire ancient planet began to shake as if it was about to split open. The ground began to shake, causing the bloody man to be shocked. He wanted to leave with haste, but he was hit by a terrifying attack. Before he could see what the attack was, it had already landed on him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale. His body was severely injured! What kind of power was this? The bloody man did not dare to stay any longer. He knew that he was no match for the other party, so he quickly left. After the bloody man left, the ancient planet seemed to come to life and exploded with terrifying pressure! The bloody man didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He immediately tore open the void and crossed it. At this moment, everyone had already brought Qin Chen to a star field. Qin Chen¡¯s aura was extremely weak as if he was on the verge of death. However, everyone knew that he had already passed the most dangerous period. He should be fine once he used some heavenly treasures to slowly heal his injuries. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that the bloody man would be so powerful. They were almost killed by the other party. But fortunately, they had managed to escape. After many days, the bloody man did not come after them again. It seemed that he had lost the means to track them. In other words, Qin Chen and the others were temporarily safe. As long as they were not discovered by those bloody mans¡¯ pawns, they would be safe. Qin Chen and the others left quickly. They started traveling in disguise, making themselves look like some experts in the cosmic who were wandering around. Their auras were suppressed to the Great God realm. Even the true dragon didn¡¯t dare to easily reveal its identity. If it didn¡¯t hide its dragon¡¯s might, it was afraid that it would be discovered soon. If that were to happen, they might be hunted down by the bloody man again. This time, they were fearful. God knows how terrifying the bloody man was. The reason they could survive the battle with the bloody man was thanks to the Eight Trigrams God-sealing Array. Otherwise, Qin Chen and the others would not have been able to escape so easily and would still be standing here. At this moment, they had already arrived at another star field with many experts. However, the thick murderous aura that they emitted let those people know that they were not to be trifled with. If they exposed their identities, they might be hunted down by the bloody man. Qin Chen wondered if the bloody man had managed to escape from the array. No matter how he looked at it, the bloody man was no idiot. It was very likely that he had already broken the array and escaped from the ancient planet. Qin Chen and the others did not expect that the ancient planet would change because of them. At this moment, another ancient planet appeared in front of them. The fluctuations coming from this ancient planet were extremely strange as if there was some kind of power hidden on it. Everyone wanted to leave, but Qin Chen wanted to go and take a look. If there was a powerful divinity remnant on the ancient planet, he might be able to check in here. If he did so, he would be able to obtain some treasures very quickly. He might even be able to heal his injuries completely in a short time. The leaves from the ancient tree of life were not enough now. Everyone nodded in agreement when they saw that the Elder King wanted to go to the ancient planet. The ancient planet looked extremely dilapidated. There were no signs of life on it. However, the fluctuations were too special, which attracted Qin Chen and the others. They landed on the ancient planet and discovered that there seemed to be some mysterious power remaining on the ancient planet. What was going on? Qin Chen walked over step by step. It looked as if a war had broken out on the ancient planet. Only a great battle could possibly result in such a situation. What realms were the experts involved in the battle in? Qin Chen had many questions in his heart. Soon, he walked to the side of a deep pit and heard a voice in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. On this ancient planet, there were indeed remnants of powerful divinity. He could now check in again. He wondered what he would get from this check-in. Following this, he muttered ¡°check in¡± in his heart. [Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in to the ancient battlefield. You have received the Emperor Star Divine Pill!] [Emperor Star Divine Pill: A powerful pill concocted by a legendary Medicine Sage. It has the ability to heal injuries and improve the user¡¯s cultivation prowess. The countless great powers it contains will surprise the host.] What? To think the Emperor Star Divine Pill was refined by a Medicine Sage. One must know that in the nine Heavens and ten lands, a Medicine Sage was already an existence that was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn¡¯s horn. There probably weren¡¯t many pills refined by Medicine Sages left in this world. This Emperor Star Divine Pill was definitely a very precious treasure. Qin Chen was very pleasantly surprised. He looked at his hand. A warm and white jade-like pill had appeared in his hand. It exuded a strong medicinal power. He immediately swallowed it and began to refine it. As soon as the Emperor Star Divine Pill entered his stomach, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body trembled as if he was going crazy. This was good stuff! The terrifying medicinal power flowed through his limbs and bones, making Qin Chen extremely shocked. Chapter 506 - 506 Healing Injuries 506 Healing Injuries The extremely terrifying medicinal power entered Qin Chen¡¯s body, making him feel as if he was about to float. Qin Chen was overjoyed. He had not expected to be able to obtain a pill refined by a Medicine Sage this time. This was a truly good item. With the Emperor Star Divine Pill, Qin Chen believed that it wouldn¡¯t take long for him to completely recover from his injuries. Then, he would be able to continue to increase his speed in finding the remaining locations of the seven coordinates. Only by doing so could they continue to become stronger. Not long after, Qin Chen could feel that his injuries had completely recovered. His body was now even stronger than before. He wondered how long it would take for him to break through again. Qin Chen was now a level 6 God-realm expert. However, it was still not easy to break through. In this vast cosmic, it was relatively easy for Qin Chen to find places with powerful divinity. This was because most of the experts who had long left the nine Heavens and ten lands had engaged in God knows how many battles in this star field. It was thanks to this that Qin Chen could get the opportunity to check in. Something like this was almost impossible in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Qin Chen currently had a very good grasp of the situation. After all, the speed of his breakthrough could be considered shocking. As long as he could maintain this and continue to break through and cultivate like this, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. It would be enough to deal with the chaos that was about to happen. Qin Chen walked around on the ancient planet. The big scorpion was determined to plunder all the treasures on the ancient planet, and he did find some. There were a few ordinary weapons and magic items, but the spiritual energy in them was almost exhausted. The uses of the items were thus very limited. The big scorpion was disappointed soon. He could no longer find any treasures. Thinking of this, he sighed. On this ancient planet, it was basically impossible to find any useful treasures. This ancient planet was also one of the ancient battlefields, but now, it was no longer of much use. There was only some powerful divinity left, which would dissipate with the passage of time. To Qin Chen¡¯s surprise, he had already fully recovered from his injuries now. There were basically no problems. He still had some leaves from the ancient tree of life. He could slowly refine them and use the powerful life force within to recover quickly. Some moments later, Qin Chen and the others saw an expert slowly walking over. When they left the ancient planet, the expert discovered them. Looking at this expert, Qin Chen and the others were quite surprised. This was because this expert was a level 8 Great God-realm expert and was not far from the God Emperor realm. God knows why the Great God-realm expert would come over to Qin Chen and the others. ¡°My friends, if you know what¡¯s good for you, hurry up and hand your things over,¡± The Great God-realm expert wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others to get their treasures. He had used a secret technique to detect that Qin Chen and the others had extremely precious and powerful treasures. The expert was extremely elated to have detected these treasures. This was because Qin Chen and the others were only in the Great God realm. If he took a gamble, he might be able to get a few more powerful treasures. However, the expert had never thought that Qin Chen and the others were actually hiding their true strength. If Qin Chen and the others revealed their strength, they might attract the subordinates of the bloody man, which was why they were currently very low-key. They didn¡¯t want to be discovered by the bloody man¡¯s subordinates. The Great God-realm expert in front of them did not notice the changes in their eyes. The true dragon slowly walked to the side of the expert from the powerful cosmic races and attacked with light speed. Everyone hurriedly blocked the fluctuations emitted by the true dragon, not allowing them to spread out. The expert of the powerful cosmic races never have thought that he would die in such a sullen way. After all, he was a Great God-realm expert who was a step away from breaking through to the God Emperor realm and was considered one of the more powerful experts in the cosmic. Many experts had died at his hands. But at this moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils lost focus. The life force in his body dissipated, and his primordial spirit was instantly shattered. He was completely dead. If not for Qin Chen and the others¡¯ fear of being discovered by the bloody man¡¯s subordinates, how could they have let this Great God-realm expert have the chance to get close to them? The true dragon would have probably smacked this fellow to death long ago. Now, if they wanted to kill this guy, they could only do it secretly. Otherwise, they might be detected by other experts. The bloody man had stated the strengths of Qin Chen and the others in the bounty he issued, and all their information was known to his subordinates, the demonic puppets. In other words, as long as Qin Chen and the others revealed themselves, they would definitely attract the demonic puppets that were constantly searching for them. At that time, they would be in danger. It was highly possible that the bloody man would come to kill them in person again. If they were to be chased by the bloody man once again, just thinking about it filled everyone¡¯s heart with endless fear. The other party was just too powerful. If he came after them again, God knows if they could still resist. Under normal circumstances, the true dragon would have killed such a reckless person long ago. How could it tolerate such a threat? It was ultimately because they were too weak to resist the bloody man. As he thought of this, Qin Chen suddenly remembered that he still had a white moonstone in his storage ring that he had obtained from checking in the last time. He could try and see if the white moonstone contained any profound secrets and if there was any good fortune hidden within. Qin Chen took out the white moonstone and immediately infused it with his divine power. In an instant, the white moonstone burst out with a dazzling light. Those who were unexpectant would probably be shocked by the light. Everyone immediately gathered around. They did not know what this white moonstone was. Chapter 507 - 507 Divine Illusionary Realm 507 Divine Illusionary Realm The white moonstone was an extremely precious treasure even in ancient times. In the current era, it was very rare for a white moonstone to appear in the nine Heavens and ten lands, or even in the cosmic. Qin Chen had only obtained one from checking in with the system. There must be a reason why the white moonstone was called a treasure. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to see what was hidden within it. He wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible, but he couldn¡¯t find the remaining five places of the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. Hence, Qin Chen activated the white moonstone. Soon, the white moonstone in Qin Chen¡¯s hand turned into a barrier as if it had connected to a passage! Everyone couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. What on Earth was that thing in the Elder King¡¯s hand? After the white moonstone was filled with Qin Chen¡¯s divine power, he thus learned about its function. The place where the white moonstone could open up was the Divine Illusionary Realm. It was said that there were many treasures and opportunities in the Divine Illusionary Realm, a place similar to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Unfortunately, it did not belong to this cosmic. There were countless living beings in it, and one could even find traces of divine beasts like the true dragon. Some even guessed that the elders of the divine beast races must have brought their clan members into the Divine Illusionary Realm when the world changed greatly back then. However, no one knew if this was true or false, because most of the white moonstones had already disappeared. The white moonstone could only support a power channel for one round trip. Qin Chen and the others now had such a white moonstone. Qin Chen had already infused his divine power into the white moonstone, which meant that they could enter the Divine Illusionary Realm immediately. They were all excited. Their target was the Divine Illusionary Realm. Perhaps there would be opportunities and fortunes that could make them stronger. The white moonstone quickly opened up a path, and the passageway to the Divine Illusionary Realm stabilized. Qin Chen and the others could see that there seemed to be countless forces within it. The forces were extremely terrifying and were something that they had never seen before. Following this, they hurriedly entered the passage. In an instant, they felt the world shake and change. The scenery in front of them suddenly changed, and they seemed to have entered another world. This place looked like it was from the ancient era. However, Qin Chen and the others also discovered that there were too many powerful auras in this place. At this moment, the passage formed by the white moonstone disappeared, turning back into the white moonstone and returning to Qin Chen¡¯s hand. The white moonstone¡¯s power was only enough to open a passage once more. If Qin Chen were to lose the white moonstone, they would never be able to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At the thought of this, Qin Chen carefully kept the white moonstone in his ring. Unless he died, he would never lose it. They didn¡¯t want to live in this place. After all, their roots were not here, but in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Before Qin Chen and the others could come back to their senses, an expert appeared. This expert seemed to have long noticed them and had been secretly sizing them up. Qin Chen did not know who this fellow was. At the same time, because of Qin Chen¡¯s strange clothes, in the eyes of this expert, these guys were definitely not from the Divine Illusionary Realm. As for who they were, he would probably only know after he captured them. Up until now, Qin Chen and the others had not completely exposed their auras. As a result, the expert felt confident in dealing with Qin Chen and the others. He had not expected Qin Chen and the others to be far more terrifying than he had imagined. Soon, he charged toward them. Qin Chen and the others realized that an expert had come over just when they had arrived in the Divine Illusionary Realm. To think the expert wanted to attack and kill them. Could it be that this Divine Illusionary Realm had no order at all? They had just arrived at the Divine Illusionary Realm and knew nothing. However, they could sense that the other party¡¯s aura was not very strong. They hadn¡¯t exposed their auras at all, so the other party was not the least bit frightened. Instead, the other party was going all out, thinking that he would be successful in dealing with them. Seeing this expert charging towards him, Qin Chen gave the true dragon a look and transmitted his voice to the latter, ¡°Brother dragon, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± The true dragon nodded and charged at the expert. Before the expert could react, his neck was suddenly grabbed, and the divine power in his body was instantly sealed, making him unable to even commit suicide. The true dragon threw the fellow in front of Qin Chen and the others. The expert was instantly frightened. He struggled to get away, but he could not. Qin Chen sensed the aura fluctuation of the expert. To think the latter was only an expert in the Great God realm. He was quite greedy. The true dragon was a level 7 God Emperor-realm expert. It was nothing for it to deal with a Great God-realm expert. It subdued the other party in two or three moves. At this point, the Great God-realm expert also realized that he was definitely not a match for Qin Chen and the others. If this continued, he might even lose his life. He was very cooperative and begged Qin Chen and the others to spare him. Before Qin Chen could say anything, this guy struggled to kowtow while nudging to Qin Chen¡¯s side. Then, he suddenly burst out and stabbed a dagger at Qin Chen. He probably knew that he would not be able to survive. Therefore, he wanted to drag one of his opponents down with him. Qin Chen did not block the attack at all. Instead, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he watched the dagger come at him. Crack! The sound of the dagger shattering could be heard! Qin Chen was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. If he couldn¡¯t even block this small dagger, it would be a huge joke. At this moment, this expert in the Divine Illusionary Realm finally experienced what was called terror. In an instant, Qin Chen struck out with his palm, causing a hole to appear on the expert¡¯s crown of his head. The expert from the Divine Illusionary Realm died on the spot. Before he died, he looked at Qin Chen and the others in disbelief. He wondered why the latter was pretending to be weak. Qin Chen did not shatter the expert¡¯s primordial spirit. Instead, he used his powerful spiritual power to drag it into his body. Chapter 508 - 508 The Fruit of the Divine Tree 508 The Fruit of the Divine Tree Qin Chen used the Chaos Divine Ring to obliterate the Divine Illusionary Realm¡¯s expert¡¯s primordial spirit, only leaving behind the latter¡¯s memory fragments. Then, he refined the memory fragments. With this, he would be able to find out what kind of region the Divine Illusionary Realm was. Logically speaking, this place was similar to the nine Heavens and ten lands, so there should be many opportunities and treasures. If he wanted to find those opportunities and treasures, it would definitely take a lot of effort. Therefore, Qin Chen decided to refine the memory fragments of this expert from the Divine Illusionary Realm directly. If he did that, he wouldn¡¯t need to search the place to know where those things were now. Soon, Qin Chen refined all the memory fragments of the expert and learned that there were countless regions of various sizes in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Every region was guarded by powerful experts, and these experts would also kill each other to compete for resources. This place was once a unified divine Kingdom. Someone destroyed it, killed the King, and till now, no one could unify the Divine Illusionary Realm. In the short time it took to refine the memory fragments, Qin Chen also learned that there were many opportunities and fortunes in many places all over the Divine Illusionary Realm, but the key was that those places were extremely dangerous. However, Qin Chen and the others were not afraid of danger. After all, they were a group of lunatics who were not afraid of death. They could do anything if they wanted to. As long as there were opportunities and good fortune in the Divine Illusionary Realm that could allow them to increase their strength, they would do it at all costs. The most important thing for them now was to increase their strength. They had encountered too many dangers along the way. If they could become more powerful, they would definitely be able to resist these threats. The Divine Illusionary Realm had countless opportunities and fortunes, as well as many divine beasts that lived here. For example, there were even experts from the true dragon race here. In other words, it was very likely that the true dragon would see its own kind. Even though it had only obtained the true dragon bloodline through atavism, it still had the same bloodline as those that were born true dragons. Moreover, to be able to rely on its impure bloodline to achieve avatism and become a true dragon also indirectly showed the true dragon¡¯s talent and strength. Perhaps the true dragon could be acknowledged back in its race here. However, there were also some powerful forces here. Almost all of them chose to fight and kill to plunder resources. Those guys were called thieves. For example, the Great God-realm expert that Qin Chen and the others had encountered was a thief. He had probably killed thousands of innocent souls. This made Qin Chen gasp. He had never thought that there would be devil-like people in this place. Very quickly, Qin Chen and the rest decided to leave. This was because they knew that if they continued to stay at the same spot, they would most likely attract the attention of other experts. At that time, they would experience a fierce battle. They randomly chose a direction to walk in. Qin Chen was able to gather a lot of useful information from the memory of the thief. They were now close to an orthodoxy, and it was said that there was a divine tree on the back mountain of this orthodoxy. The divine tree bloomed and bore fruit once every three thousand years. Each ripened fruit contained immense power that could help even God Emperor-realm experts increase their strength. Qin Chen was excited when he found this information in the expert¡¯s memory. One must know that such a divine fruit was something that could only be encountered by luck and not sought out in the outside world. He never thought that there would be a divine tree here. He then informed everyone about this matter. Everyone could not help but feel excited and wanted to pluck the fruit from the divine tree. That being said, the process was bound to be full of twists and turns. After all, the fruits on the divine tree were not that easy to get their hands on. ¡°We must first infiltrate this orthodoxy before we can attempt to enter the back mountain.¡± No one knew how powerful this orthodoxy was. According to the thief¡¯s memories that Qin Chen had refined, the thief did not dare to have any ideas about this supreme orthodoxy. This was because if he had such thoughts, he would have long died. Qin Chen and the others continued to walk forward, wanting to infiltrate the supreme orthodoxy. Everyone followed Qin Chen and arrived at the foot of the mountain where the supreme orthodoxy was. Unfortunately, there was an array here, so they couldn¡¯t go any further. If they forced their way forward, they would probably expose themselves. If they moved any further, they would trigger the array. It would be terrible by then. What if there were experts stronger than the God Emperor realm in this supreme orthodoxy? Wouldn¡¯t doing so be equivalent to Qin Chen and the others walking into the trap and losing their lives in vain? Therefore, they could only sneak in. Qin Chen had a devil-breaking worm in his storage ring. If the devil-breaking worm could slowly eat a hole in the array, they would be able to sneak in. At the thought of this, Qin Chen took out the devil-breaking worm and placed it on the array. The array was not too powerful. Soon, the devil-breaking worm began to chew with all its might, constantly devouring the array. It didn¡¯t take long for it to eat a big hole. This array was far from being as powerful as the one Zhen Xiezi had set up. However, there might be some other dangerous traps here, though Qin Chen and the others had yet to encounter any. Qin Chen communicated with the devil-breaking worm. It was obvious that the latter could also sense the extraordinariness of the array. The outer layer of the array was merely a smokescreen. The most fatal danger was within the array. Once one entered the array, one would be under surveillance. As long as one moved, one would be attacked by the thunderstorm-like power of the array. Qin Chen¡¯s expression turned serious. It seemed that they might not be able to enter this supreme orthodoxy even though the devil-breaking worm could break the array. Still, the devil-breaking worm quickly broke the array. Qin Chen and the others quickly entered the array and put away the devil-breaking worm. The devil-breaking worm was now full and had fallen into a deep sleep. It was slowly cultivating and growing. As it grew, it would be able to devour more powerful arrays. It might even end up being able to devour Emperor arrays. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already begun to move forward. According to the devil-breaking worm, there were still hidden dangers in the array, so they had to be careful and cautious. They could not be discovered. When Qin Chen and the others slowly entered, they discovered that there was actually another array in this place. Chapter 509 - 509 The Shangqing Sect 509 The Shangqing Sect This array was far more powerful than the previous one. Now that the devil-breaking worm had fallen into a deep sleep, Qin Chen and the others could only rely on themselves. Qin Chen led the group into the array, trying to find a way to break out of it. He soon discovered that there were some hidden rules in the array. It was as if the array was purposefully set up to allow those who came later to find a way in. There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation! Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with apprehensiveness, and he exhaled heavily. Wasn¡¯t this clearly telling them that if they continued to move forward, they would be exposed? Qin Chen was unwilling to admit defeat. He directly led the group forward through some narrow corners, moving forward. With this, their speed would be neither fast nor slow, and they should be able to avoid these arrays. Qin Chen and the others hurriedly walked forward. Soon, they saw some patrolling disciples. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others had hidden quite well. The strength of these disciples was not enough to discover them. If it had been an ordinary intruder, he would have long been discovered by these disciples. At that time, the experts of the entire supreme orthodoxy would come out together. Whoever dared to do this would undoubtedly end up in a miserable state. Qin Chen led the group into the array. He realized that after they passed through the arrays, they naturally came to the gates of the supreme orthodoxy. There was a huge plaque in front of the door with two big words written on it: Shangqing Sect. Qin Chen nodded. So this supreme orthodoxy was called the Shangqing Sect. Soon, everyone continued to move forward. Here, other than a few disciples cultivating, there were also elders and so on. Almost all of them were in seclusion. For a moment, no one noticed Qin Chen and the others. It seemed that no one had sneaked into this place before. The defense was extremely relaxed, and there was almost no vigilance. Finally, Qin Chen and the others managed to slip into the back mountain of the supreme orthodoxy. The divine tree in the back mountain. It must have been protected by the other party. The divine tree was probably a treasure of the supreme orthodoxy. They would definitely not be so perfunctory in guarding it. As expected, Qin Chen and the rest discovered a powerful seal near the divine tree. If someone who could unravel the seal with the token wasn¡¯t here, it would be impossible to open the seal. Once there was a strong fluctuation in the seal¡¯s power like becoming bigger or smaller, it would cause the entire supreme orthodoxy to be on guard. At that time, they would all be discovered. When he thought of this, Qin Chen looked at the divine tree and felt boundless helplessness and unwillingness. Suddenly, they saw an old man. The old man was sweeping the floor with a broom. He seemed to have been here for a long time. His eyebrows and beard were all white. The old man looked at Qin Chen and the others. He did not make a sound but instead became excited. ¡°You guys aren¡¯t disciples of the Shangqing Sect, right?¡± Killing intent appeared in the eyes of Qin Chen and the others. They didn¡¯t know if this old man wanted to expose the fact that they had infiltrated the Shangqing Sect. If that was the case, they could only strike first to gain the upper hand and exterminate the old man. However, the old man laughed and said, ¡°Someone has finally come.¡± He then said to the crowd, ¡°Follow me.¡± Qin Chen and the others looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know what kind of trick this old man was playing, so they could only follow. They were worried that this old man would pull some tricks and sell them out at a critical moment. It would be too late for them to regret it then. One must know that this supreme orthodoxy must have an expert in charge. If they were discovered, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t possibly leave unscathed. Therefore, at this time, everyone¡¯s heart was filled with worry. They did not know what the old man was up to. They tried to feel the old man¡¯s aura, but there was no fluctuation at all. Could he be an ordinary person? Such a huge and supreme orthodoxy couldn¡¯t possibly just let an ordinary person guard this important place, right? The old man led Qin Chen and the others to the weakest point of the array. Then, he said to the crowd, ¡°This place is where the flow of energy is the weakest. As long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be able to break the seal of this great array. At that time, you can take out the fruit of the divine tree.¡± Everyone was speechless. Qin Chen had suspected that the old man wanted to harm them, but in the end, the other party did not do anything else. Instead, he pointed out the weak points of the array to Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately sent his spiritual will over and found that it was indeed the case. He had refined Zhen Xiezi¡¯s memory fragments before, so he was naturally more skilled in things like arrays and seals. This meant that the old man did not lie to them. This made Qin Chen even more confused. Why was this old man treating them like this? The old man muttered to himself, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that after so many years, someone would finally be able to break in.¡± He immediately became excited. He kept persuading Qin Chen and the others to act quickly. Otherwise, it would be bad if the time dragged on and changes occurred. Qin Chen could see the divine tree behind the seal with his spiritual will. There were golden fruits hanging on it, emitting a mysterious wave. This made it really hard for him to control his desire. Then, he nodded to the crowd. ¡°Do it.¡± Everyone immediately bombarded the seal with their power. Soon, a big hole was broken in the seal. Even if they wanted to block such a big hole, they would not be able to do so. Therefore, they would ultimately be discovered. However, as long as Qin Chen and the others went in through this big hole, stole the fruit, and left, it would have nothing to do with them anymore. The old man looked at Qin Chen and said, ¡°If you can successfully obtain the fruit, don¡¯t forget to bring me a few.¡± Qin Chen recalled that there seemed to be countless golden fruits hanging on the divine tree, so he nodded. The other party¡¯s small request was really nothing. He could do it with a raise of his hand. After that, everyone entered the array. The old man simply lay on the ground with his legs crossed and seemed to be humming a tune. After an unknown amount of time, the old man finally opened his eyes. He could feel the fluctuations coming from within the array. Qin Chen and the others must have succeeded. He rubbed his hands in excitement. Chapter 510 - 510 Patriarch 510 Patriarch Qin Chen and the rest could see countless golden fruits on the divine tree. There were probably more than a hundred of them. However, only a small portion of them had ripened. Most of them were still green. Qin Chen and the others did not pick the unripe fruits. After all, the ones that were truly useful to them were the ripe fruits. After that, Qin Chen stored all the fruits in his storage ring. Everyone hurriedly picked and plundered all the ripe fruits on the divine tree. The big scorpion was simply ruthless. He dug at the soil as if he wanted to take away a section of the divine tree¡¯s root to plant! Everyone couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in admiration. Truly such a genius! The divine tree that appeared in this world might not even exist in the nine Heavens and ten lands or even the cosmic. The big scorpion was bringing the tree¡¯s roots back to benefit future generations. He said it so seriously that Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of respect for him. After a long while, the big scorpion finally managed to dig out a section of the root and threw it into the storage ring before leaving with the others. When they had just walked out, they had been on guard. However, they realized that there was no one else outside the array except for the old man. There was not a single person in the back mountain. Could it be that there really weren¡¯t any disciples patrolling this place? Qin Chen immediately took out five ripe fruits from the divine tree and gave them to the old man. He believed that these five golden fruits would definitely extend the old man¡¯s life and allow him to be reborn. The other party might even be able to embark on the path of a cultivator. This was the only thing Qin Chen could do for the old man. Although he didn¡¯t know what kind of enmity this old man had with the Shangqing Sect, since the latter had helped him, Qin Chen would not let him suffer a loss. Then, Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the old man. The old man told Qin Chen and the others mysteriously, ¡°If you go down the mountain now, you will definitely be at risk of being discovered along the way.¡± He pointed in another direction. Everyone looked over and found a large rock. The old man moved the huge rock away with great effort and said to Qin Chen and the rest, ¡°Leave from here and you will have no worries about being caught.¡± Qin Chen and the others cupped their hands at the old man gratefully. He had helped them so much that they did not know how to thank him. ¡°Old man, why don¡¯t you come with us? In any case, there¡¯s no point in you staying here. If such a major mistake were to happen, they¡¯ll definitely find you for revenge. What if they vent their anger on you¡­¡± The old man shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m an old bag of bones. They won¡¯t dare to do anything to me. ¡± The crowd then nodded and finally left. They did feel that the hole seemed kind of strange though. By leaving through such a place, it felt like a dog hole. After Qin Chen and the others left, a little dog ran out from the side of the stone. This dog had yellow fur and looked very good-natured. It ran to the old man¡¯s side and wagged its tail at him. Qin Chen and the rest did not dare to stay any longer and left immediately. Soon after, they realized that the entire Shangqing Sect seemed to have exploded. There were strong fluctuations. Could it be that they had accidentally leaked some clues? That being said, if they left now, no one would be able to catch up to them. After all, they had already left the Shangqing Sect¡¯s territory. If they left now, the Shangqing Sect cultivators wouldn¡¯t even know where they went. Finally, after walking for a long time, they came back to their senses. Many terrifying auras exploded in the Shangqing Sect. They were furious. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Then, they heard the report from their disciples. It was said that something had happened in the back mountain. Something big! Someone had stolen the fruits of the divine tree from the back mountain. This was an incalculable loss. It was enough for the Shangqing Sect to bleed. Many powerful elders rushed out, including some powerful consecrators. All of them came to the back mountain of the Shangqing Sect. They were all willing to stay in the Shangqing Sect because of this divine tree. But now that they found out that the ripe fruits of the divine tree had all been stolen, they were furious. But now, facing an old man, they were trembling with fear. They suppressed their anger and stopped throwing a fit. Instead, they cried and complained. ¡°Patriarch. What¡¯s going on?¡± The old man¡¯s body exuded a terrifying fluctuation. Even the simple and honest little dog beside him burst out with an extremely terrifying power as if it was an ancient human-eating fierce beast. It stared at the crowd with an intimidating aura. At this moment, the old man seemed to have changed into a different person. He sat cross-legged on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. He burped and said, ¡°What else could it be? You guys didn¡¯t protect the place well enough and let the thieves break in. When I found them, they had already escaped! Aren¡¯t you going to hurry and catch those people?¡± This old man was the respected patriarch of the elders from the Shangqing Sect. Even the sect leader was respectful to him. No one noticed that there were a few pits of the divine tree¡¯s fruits behind the old man. What really made the old man willing to help Qin Chen and the others was Qin Chen¡¯s almost unfathomable fate. This old man was extremely terrifying. His cultivation prowess had already reached a powerful realm that allowed him to collapse the world at will. He had been in seclusion here all this time and had never taken the final step. But today, he saw a cultivator from the outside world. The old man could tell that the other party was definitely not a cultivator from the Divine Illusionary Realm because the aura he carried was from the outside world. The old man wanted to see Qin Chen¡¯s fate, but he could not. It was as if the other party was covered by fog. If he was involved with such a guy, the karma Qin Chen caused might affect him. Still, the old man chose to help Qin Chen. With this, he could form karma with Qin Chen. Perhaps in the future, Qin Chen would become an expert even more powerful than him and help him take the last step. There were all sorts of things in this world that could not be described clearly. Fate was just vague. The old man seemed to have an intuition that Qin Chen was not as simple as he had seen, although the latter was currently still relatively weak. However, he believed that Qin Chen would become an expert one day. If the other party did not die, he would probably be even more powerful than him. These were the old man¡¯s thoughts. Chapter 511 - 511 Demon Kings Tomb 511 Demon King¡¯s Tomb Qin Chen and the others had already left the supreme orthodoxy. They were now being targeted by the other party. God knows when they would become strong enough to be fearless against such danger. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others had already left. At the moment, the supreme orthodoxy had completely gone berserk. Countless powerful elders and disciples had all come out of seclusion and begun to search madly for the thief who had broken into the back mountain. In their opinion, Qin Chen and the others must be very powerful to have such courage. Otherwise, they would not even dare to go to the back mountain. The elders and disciples couldn¡¯t figure out how Qin Chen and the others had managed to sneak into the back mountain. From their point of view, someone who could do this must be very powerful. Since even the old patriarch was unable to stop them, one could imagine how terrifying the other party¡¯s strength was. Unfortunately for them, even if they came to their senses and were now searching for Qin Chen and the others, the latter had already left. Regardless of all else, Qin Chen and the others were no ordinary people. How could they be so careless and still stay near the supreme orthodoxy? There were many dangers in this Divine Illusionary Realm. If they were not careful, they could very likely lose their lives. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at a place far away from the supreme orthodoxy where they saw a city. Within the Divine Illusionary Realm were quite a number of cities as well as plenty of experts. Qin Chen and the rest entered the city where there were many powerful auras. However, they could tell that the strongest of these powerful auras were only in the Great God realm. God Emperor realm experts were considered to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns here. In this world, spirit stones were also the currency used for transactions. Qin Chen had a lot of spirit stones on him. They were all spoils of war he had taken from his enemies. They arrived at an inn. Even the most powerful cultivators did not dare to cause trouble since there were many powerful auras in the inn, guarding the peace. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others entered without any worries. After paying a certain amount of spirit stones, they rented a guest room and began cultivating. The strongest of the auras in the inn was only at level 5 of the God Emperor realm, which did have some level of deterrence. Qin Chen swallowed the golden fruit of the divine tree. The others didn¡¯t hesitate either. The fruit of the divine tree was a good thing. If they could absorb it and refine it, their cultivation prowess would definitely be strengthened. Qin Chen and the others made the best use of their time to cultivate and improve their strength. After all, there were quite a lot of dangers in the Divine Illusionary Realm. If they did not act cautiously, they might die. The most important thing was still to possess great power. If they were strong enough, they could easily resolve all the dangers. At the same time, Qin Chen and the others wanted to find enough opportunities and fortunes in the Divine Illusionary Realm to significantly increase their cultivation prowess. Otherwise, when the great chaos of the world arrived, unless they decided not to return and stay in the Divine Illusionary Realm, even if they returned to the cosmic, God knows how long it would take for them to find the remaining five places of the seven coordinates left behind by the Divine Fire Great Emperor. Qin Chen and the rest had never eaten a fruit like this before. The divine tree had never appeared in the nine Heavens and ten lands, or even in the cosmic. Rumor had it that the fruit could improve even God Emperor-realm experts¡¯ strength and cultivation prowess. Qin Chen and the others were not sure if this was true. However, after they had consumed the fruit of the divine tree, they were stunned. They felt their bodies undergoing a shocking transformation, and many impurities were expelled. One had to know that their bodies had long been cleansed and purified. They did not expect to still have so many impurities to expel. Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body was already extremely powerful, but there was still a lot of black gas coming out of his body. The fruit of the divine tree could also increase the strength of a cultivator. At this point, they were shocked from the bottom of their hearts. The fruit of the divine tree had indeed improved their cultivation by a large margin. And now, they needed to settle down and cultivate. Otherwise, even if they broke through to the next realm, they would not be able to defeat their opponents easily even if they were of the same realm. After all, they had refined too many heavenly treasures. If they hurried in breaking through, it might shake their foundation. After almost a day and a night, Qin Chen and the others finally refined several fruits of the divine tree. One must know that these fruits of the divine tree contained a large amount of spiritual energy. If these fruits were taken out to the outside world, many experts would be willing to trade with their supreme treasures. When everyone had finished refining the power of the divine tree¡¯s fruit in their bodies, they decided to leave. They couldn¡¯t encounter any more opportunities and fortunes by continuing to stay here. They had to look for opportunities themselves. At this moment, they suddenly heard that someone seemed to be recruiting. Their hearing was extremely sharp, and they soon heard what the other party was saying. It turned out that the latter wanted to explore a large tomb and was gathering some experts to go together. Finding treasures in there would all depend on the individual¡¯s abilities. When Qin Chen and the others heard this, their interest was piqued. They began to ask in detail and very quickly, they found out the information. It turned out that those people were going to the tomb of a demon king. There were many treasures hidden in the demon king¡¯s tomb, and no one had ever been able to enter the depths. This was because the dangers were too great. Many of the restrictions inside were quite terrifying, all left behind by the demon king. The treasures inside were countless though. Qin Chen and the others discussed it for a while and decided to head over and take a look. From this person¡¯s words, they learned that the other party was only recruiting a few people. At the moment, many factions were recruiting people, wanting to pull off a big job. The location of the demon king¡¯s tomb was not well hidden, and it was easy to find out. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others decided to go alone instead of with the others. If they encountered any treasures, it would be easy to divide the spoils evenly. Moreover, they had a God Emperor-realm true dragon on their side. What was there to worry about? Chapter 512 - 512 Patriarch Xuan Tian 512 Patriarch Xuan Tian Qin Chen and the others heard that many forces wanted to go and see if they could go to the depths of the tomb of the demon king. It was said that the demon king¡¯s tomb was extremely dangerous. Even many existences above the God Emperor realm had died. Rumor had it that the demon king¡¯s tomb was left behind by a great demon that had transcended the God Emperor realm. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the demon king had been injured in a battle with a powerful enemy, he wouldn¡¯t have plundered so many treasures to build a tomb for himself. Many forces wanted a piece of the pie. The number of experts from the many demon races was the same as the number of human cultivators. Qin Chen and the others did not care how chaotic it was. The most important thing was to obtain opportunities and treasures. Only by doing so could they quickly improve their cultivation prowess and strength. They had come to the Divine Illusionary Realm with the sole intention of making themselves stronger quickly. In the mythological era, some experts from the nine Heavens and ten lands had entered the Divine Illusionary Realm through the white moonstone. But that was a very long time ago. In the current nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, there was no longer a second white moonstone. If not for Qin Chen having the system¡¯s check-in function, he would not have been able to obtain a white moonstone and enter the Divine Illusionary Realm either. At this moment, Qin Chen and the rest had already arrived near the tomb of the demon king. He saw many experts, including many in the God Emperor realm. God Emperor realm experts in this place were no longer as rare as before. It seemed that the demon king¡¯s tomb did hide a lot of treasures and opportunities. Otherwise, these guys wouldn¡¯t have all gathered here. The place was bustling with activity, all for profit. The big scorpion and the others were shocked when they saw so many experts. Even in the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as in the cosmic, they had never seen so many experts gathered. It seemed that the power of the Divine Illusionary Realm should not be underestimated. The number of experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm was far more than that of the nine Heavens and ten lands, or even in the cosmic. The opportunities and treasures here were also many times more than in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Even an ordinary cultivator without any talent could become powerful by cultivating in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Many unaffiliated cultivators like Qin Chen had come to join in the fun as well. However, when they faced the cultivators of the major forces, they still chose to take the initiative to back off and try not to provoke them. After all, the other party was far more powerful than them. If they didn¡¯t know their place and provoked the other party, they would likely end up being dealt with. Only now did Qin Chen and the others understand how shocking the Divine Illusionary Realm was! There was even an old monster that was even more terrifying than a God Emperor. Moreover, when everyone saw his arrival, they did not seem to be shocked. This was enough to prove how many experts there were in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Qin Chen and the rest quickly hid in a deserted place, gathering with some unaffiliated cultivators. They sought shelter and huddled together for warmth. The experts of the major forces would not take the initiative to deal with these unaffiliated cultivators. After all, their strength was going to be used in the tomb of the demon king. Qin Chen and the rest could imagine how brutal the battle would be once they entered the tomb of the demon king. Many experts would probably die in there. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Patriarch Xuan Tian to come as well.¡± Some of the unaffiliated cultivators were shocked to see the old monster who had surpassed the God Emperor realm. Some other demon race experts near the tomb of the demon king had their hearts filled with hatred and anger. This was supposed to be an opportunity for the demon race. Why were these human cultivators trying to get a share of it? It was all because they were not powerful enough. None of the demon race experts who could challenge Patriarch Xuan Tian had come. Thinking of this, the demon race experts were displeased, but they could only silently allow the human cultivators to enter the demon king¡¯s tomb to search for treasures alongside them. In the past, the number of God Emperor-realm experts that had come to the tomb of the demon king was far less than the number that had come this time. No one as terrifying as Patriarch Xuan Tian had come here before either. There were extremely powerful restrictions outside the tomb of the demon king, and many experts suffered losses and even lost their lives. However, this time, with such a grand formation, it was clear that they wanted to enter the depths of the tomb of the demon king. There must be even more precious treasures in the depths of the demon king¡¯s tomb. Only was it explainable why these guys were attracted. Among the many experts, Qin Chen and the others even saw people from the supreme orthodoxy whom they had stolen the divine tree¡¯s fruit from. Qin Chen and the rest were not afraid at all when they saw these people. This was because the latter did not know that they were the ones who had stolen the divine tree¡¯s fruits on the back mountain. Forces of all sizes combined to form a terrifying force. They were densely packed like a black tide. Their goal was also very clear, and that was to obtain enough treasures in the tomb of the demon king. Qin Chen and the rest immediately looked at each other and became more alert to their surroundings. No one could say for sure if there would be some who liked to stab others in the back. They didn¡¯t want to be caught off guard, so they had to be on guard against these guys. Finally, the opportunity came. A terrifying fluctuation exploded and a faint pressure came from the void. Everyone quickly saw the terrifying fluctuation that erupted from the tomb of the demon king. Following this, an illusionary passage opened. Only by using the passage could they could enter the tomb of the demon king. Patriarch Xuan Tian snorted coldly. He was an old monster that was even more terrifying than God Emperors. He immediately led a group of experts into the place. Many experts heard Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s cold snort, but no one dared to enter before him. After Patriarch Xuan Tian and his men entered, they slowly entered. No one wanted to offend such a terrifying old monster. Since Patriarch Xuan Tian had taken action this time, they would definitely be able to obtain great results. They could only follow behind obediently. Perhaps they could pick up some treasures that the other party had left behind. After Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s figure disappeared from the passage, the major forces began to enter in a single file. Finally, it was the turn of the unaffiliated cultivators. However, after a few of the unaffiliated cultivators just entered, a powerful aura came over. The demon race¡¯s experts unleashed their pressures, which was irresistible for the unaffiliated cultivators, and they made way for them. Chapter 513 - 513 The Flames on the Road 513 The Flames on the Road After the demon race experts entered, the many unaffiliated cultivators quickly entered. Qin Chen and the rest followed the large group of unaffiliated cultivators and entered as well. God knows how big the demon king¡¯s tomb was. Would it be able to accommodate so many of them? After Qin Chen and the others passed through the passage, they found that their worries were unnecessary. Countless spatial fluctuations were erupting within the tomb of the demon king. It was obvious that there was a spatial technique here that had turned the place into a small world. At the same time, they could see corpses everywhere. There were corpses of both human cultivators and demon race experts, all of which had entered before and eventually died because they couldn¡¯t resist the danger. Qin Chen and the others immediately became more careful. In front of them, the figures of the major forces began to move forward, constantly dispersing. The people that Patriarch Xuan Tian had brought with him had long disappeared. The unaffiliated cultivators also went their separate ways, looking for their respective opportunities. The experts of the demon race were like fish in water in this place, because this was a tomb built by an expert from the demon race. It was naturally very easy for them to find some treasures in this place. Qin Chen looked at the true dragon and the others and spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s be careful. I¡¯m afraid that this place will be extremely dangerous.¡± To them, the demon king¡¯s tomb was far more terrifying than the Shangqing Sect they had been to. Hence, everyone was on high alert. In the end, they scattered and followed the crowd in a certain direction. In the direction that Qin Chen and the others headed in, they did not see many figures of experts. Instead, there were many skeletons on the ground. This also showed how many experts had died in the direction they had chosen. The bones on the ground told everyone that the road ahead would not be peaceful. Rather, it would be very dangerous. Opportunities were often accompanied by danger. If Qin Chen and the others made good use of it, they might be able to obtain some treasures and fortunes. The corpses on the ground seemed to have no weapons on them. Even their spatial rings were non-existent. It seemed that those items had all been plundered by the people who had come later. There were no more fluctuations in front of Qin Chen and the others as if no one was willing to come here. Finally, they also saw that there seemed to be a road paved with gravel in front of them. This path was definitely not simple, because there seemed to be more corpses on its sides, some of which had even turned into bones. Just by looking at this scene, everyone already had a guess in their hearts. Perhaps they would be able to obtain some treasures after passing through this stone-paved road. The prerequisite was that Qin Chen and the others had to be able to walk the path. At this point, the crowd was clueless about the mystery behind the path paved with gravel. Though, it was clear that the path was extremely dangerous. It actually emitted a fluctuation that made the hearts of Qin Chen and the others palpitate. Qin Chen walked in front. After all, he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. At most, he would be severely injured again. If the true dragon were to walk in front, it could very likely be suddenly injured. At that time, the combat strength of Qin Chen and the others would be greatly weakened. After all, the true dragon was the only God Emperor-realm expert among them. In this chaotic and complicated situation, they had to be careful. Therefore, the true dragon had no objection to Qin Chen taking the lead. When Qin Chen stepped on the gravel road, he felt a terrifying pressure on his body. They had to resist the pressure while treading this path. Fortunately, the pressure was not too strong. At least, Qin Chen could resist it with his level 6 God realm cultivation. Everyone followed behind Qin Chen, all extremely careful. When they felt the terrifying pressure, they immediately understood that if they wanted to cross the path, not only would they have to face any sudden danger on the gravel-paved road, but also resist the terrifying pressure at the same time. The true dragon was extremely shocked. It immediately told everyone that the pressure it felt was extremely powerful, but seemingly about the same as what everyone else felt. Could it be that the pressure on this gravel-paved road was the same for everyone? The pressure seemed to be within a certain range no matter what realm the experts were in. The level 7 God Emperor-realm true dragon was experiencing the same pressure as Qin Chen and the others. At the thought of this, the true dragon¡¯s heart grew wary. It was very likely that they would soon face dangers on this gravel-paved road. Soon, they realized that the gravel under their feet was also quite extraordinary. Qin Chen and the others realized that the gravel was absorbing the divine power in their bodies. They had never heard of such a thing before. It seemed like there were too many things in this Divine Illusionary Realm that they had yet to understand. This made everyone even more vigilant. Soon, they saw a ball of fire in front of them, coming toward them. This ball of flame carried a terrifying power and seemed to be comparable to Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame. It quickly bombarded Qin Chen¡¯s body. Fortunately, only the person in front had to face such a terrifying flame. The big scorpion and the others did not feel it. Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, so it was not difficult for him to resist the flames. Other than the crazy consumption of divine power in his body, he did not encounter any other danger. The true dragon immediately became worried for Qin Chen. The flame was extremely overbearing and would probably pose a great threat to Qin Chen. Fortunately, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on Qin Chen¡¯s body automatically protected its owner. It blocked all the terrifying flames and didn¡¯t let Qin Chen suffer too many injuries. If it were an ordinary person without the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, even the true dragon would not be able to withstand the flame for long and would probably be burned. At that time, one would most likely be severely injured. The skeletons they saw might have died here because of such a terrifying attack. The flames before him became increasingly terrifying, and Qin Chen¡¯s heart could not help but tremble. Who knew when this would end? There was still a long way to go before they could reach the gravel road. In other words, Qin Chen had to be able to withstand the terrifying flame for a long stretch. It was hard to say if they would encounter such a terrifying flame again on the gravel road that they were walking on. Chapter 514 - 514 Bones 514 Bones Qin Chen swallowed a few leaves of the ancient tree of life in an instant to recover the energy that he had expended, as well as the injuries caused by the impact of the terrifying flames. Soon, Qin Chen and the others reached the end of the gravel road. They looked ahead, and there seemed to be many glowing things. What were those? It was very likely that they were treasures with strong spiritual energy, which was why they were glowing. Qin Cheno quickly walked forward, wanting to see what these things were. Now that they had finished walking the gravel road, they did not encounter any more of the terrifying flames on the way. Qin Chen also relied on his powerful Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to block the flames. Everyone arrived and looked at the glowing items. They were actually some broken artifacts. They must have been powerful magic items that were broken for some reason. This was really strange. Logically speaking, no one should have been able to come here, so why were these powerful magic items shattered? Everyone had many questions in their hearts. They continued to walk forward. Qin Chen picked up a piece of a broken item. It was completely shattered but there was still a strong spiritual energy fluctuation in it. They had paid such a huge price to come here, but they had not expected to not gain any benefits. Still, Qin Chen was certain that there would be some treasures ahead. The big scorpion sighed in his heart, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would be no treasures left for us when we came here. Elder King, let¡¯s continue forward.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen also nodded and led the group forward. Not far ahead, they saw a figure that looked like a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground. When Qin Chen and the rest walked toward the skeleton, they suddenly felt an ominous feeling. A powerful aura suddenly burst out from the skeleton¡¯s body that instantly turned towards Qin Chen and the others. The big scorpion and the others were shocked. What was going on? Not only did they not get any benefits, but they even encountered a puppet-like guy waiting for them. Could it be that the demon king of the tomb had the intention of killing all who came after him when he built this tomb? It definitely wasn¡¯t like that. Qin Chen and the others immediately became wary of the skeleton in front of them. The skeleton charged at Qin Chen and the others, using a terrifying secret technique. It looked as if it was still alive. A huge problem! There was definitely a huge problem with this skeleton. Even dead living beings might not remember the techniques they had mastered before death. It was even more impossible for non-living things like puppets to grasp the power they had when they were alive. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others were suspicious that the skeleton had consciousness. The skeleton was probably at the peak of the Great God realm. It launched an attack on Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen roared and immediately engaged in a battle with the other party. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen found that the peak Great God-realm skeleton was not just as powerful as it appeared to be. Rather, it was extremely powerful. Qin Chen was severely injured in an instant. He was punched in the chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. The skeleton¡¯s combat strength was already on par with a God Emperor. Just this punch alone made Qin Chen feel as if the power exerted by a level 1 God Emperor-realm expert had landed on his body. Yet, the skeleton was obviously not that powerful. It was very likely that it had mastered a secret technique. The true dragon decisively made a move and saved Qin Chen. Then, it instantly struck out with its palm. One must know that it was a level 7 God Emperor expert. It was incomparably powerful, as it suppressed the skeleton. The skeleton seemed to have a mind of its own as it kept retreating. It did not expect to encounter a true dragon, much less a God Emperor-realm cultivator stronger than itself. It was very well aware that it was in deep trouble this time, so it quickly knelt. A voice came from the skeleton¡¯s body, ¡°Please spare me.¡± Everyone who heard this voice was bewildered. They didn¡¯t expect the other party to actually have consciousness. Shouldn¡¯t it have long died given its appearance? How could it still be alive? Qin Chen asked this question, and the skeleton replied. Only then did everyone realize that the other party had cultivated some kind of evil technique. Even though its body no longer had a strand of flesh or blood and turned all into bones, it could still survive. Everyone could not help but sigh that the world was really full of wonders. To think there was such an unorthodox method. The skeleton admitted defeat frankly and was no longer an enemy of Qin Chen and the others. It could see that it did not have much chance of winning against the true dragon. It would be destroyed by the latter directly. A few decades ago, this skeleton had entered the depths of the demon king¡¯s tomb to search for treasures. It had finished walking the gravel road that Qin Chen and the others had just trodden on with great difficulty, but it had also suffered very serious injuries. As a result, it had been very decisive in sacrificing its flesh and blood, turning into a skeleton. In this way, although its appearance was not very acceptable, at least it could still survive. It planned to find some human bodies to possess after leaving the demon king¡¯s tomb. However, it had never expected that it couldn¡¯t leave after turning into this half-human, half-ghost appearance. If it stepped on the path paved with gravel, it would be severely burned by the terrifying flames, and by then, it was very likely that it wouldn¡¯t even be able to keep its skeleton body. Therefore, it had been cultivating here all this time. No one had ever been able to arrive here. Today, when Qin Chen and the others finally made it through, the skeleton had been extremely excited because it had taken a fancy to Qin Chen¡¯s body. It wanted to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. He did not expect Qin Chen and the others to be so powerful and they even had an expert from the true dragon race with them. Seeing the cultivator in such a state, Qin Chen and the others were quite wary. To be able to be so cruel against oneself, one could only imagine how vicious this person¡¯s heart was! Qin Chen sealed the skeleton¡¯s power and stayed on guard against it. Chapter 515 - 515 Five-colored Glass Flower 515 Five-colored Glass Flower From the skeleton¡¯s words, everyone knew that there was a terrifying puppet in front. It was extremely powerful, and even the skeleton was no match for it. It had barely escaped death several times and almost died at the hands of the puppet. The broken items they had seen were all the work of the puppet. Qin Chen and the rest nodded, wanting to see what kind of danger lay ahead. When they reached the front, they discovered an even more terrifying power coming from the front. The fluctuations had already reached the God Emperor realm. The skeleton said to Qin Chen and the others warily, ¡°That God Emperor-realm puppet¡¯s power should be equivalent to that of a level 1 God Emperor. It should be easy for you to deal with him.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others looked over. The puppet had sensed their fluctuations and rushed over. In the other party¡¯s eyes, all living beings that invaded this place should die. Following this, the true dragon charged out. It transformed back into its true form, a huge true dragon. The scales on its body were dazzling, and divine light shot out of its eyes. Then, it reached out its sharp claws and slapped them down ruthlessly! The void trembled and a terrifying pressure descended! The level 1 God Emperor-realm puppet had never thought that it would attract such a terrifying expert. In an instant, it was torn into pieces. This was the power of the true dragon. The true dragon suffered no injuries in this battle. After all, the puppet was not a living being and was simply no match for it. Qin Chen and the rest continued to advance, but they made the guy who had turned into a skeleton to explore the way in front. There was no other way. Qin Chen and the others could not let this guy follow behind them. After all, the other party may catch them off guard and attack them ruthlessly, which could possibly take their lives. The reason why Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t kill this hidden danger immediately was that they wanted to use it to scout the road ahead. After being injured by this fellow, Qin Chen had been devouring heavenly treasures non-stop to recover from his injuries. Soon, they arrived. There was a palace. The skeleton also stopped in its tracks. It could feel a powerful pressure and fluctuation in front. If it continued to move forward, it might die without a burial ground. As such, it told Qin Chen, ¡°My Lords, can you please show mercy and let me live? I don¡¯t want to die.¡± The skeleton seemed quite vicious but was quite flexible. However, its gaze was like a venomous snake, making Qin Chen and the others feel uncomfortable. Its hands had probably been stained with the blood of many innocent people. Cultivating such an unorthodox method would definitely lead to slaughter. Qin Chen immediately said, ¡°At this point, do you think you still have a choice?¡± Qin Chen and the others emitted a terrifying fluctuation. If the skeleton did not move forward, they would immediately attack and eliminate this hidden danger. The skeleton¡¯s heart was filled with anger. Unfortunately, it had no choice but to continue walking forward. Finally, they reached the front. Following this, the skeleton seemed to have suddenly touched a restriction. In an instant, a white light landed on it and blasted it into pieces. Not even ashes were left behind. The skeleton didn¡¯t even have the time to scream. Upon seeing this, Qin Chen and the rest were shocked and terrified. What was going on? Why was there such a terrifying fluctuation? Could it be that this fellow had triggered a restriction? Everyone walked forward carefully and used their spiritual wills to explore the front. Finally, they found an inconspicuous restriction. It was this restriction that had killed the skeleton just now. The skeleton¡¯s primordial spirit couldn¡¯t escape either. Qin Chen and the others did not discover any trace of spiritual fluctuations. Just like that, the peak Great God-realm expert died. This further illustrated the extraordinariness of this palace. The hidden dangers were definitely huge. The group advanced cautiously and pushed open the palace¡¯s door. As soon as they did so, Qin Chen saw a huge black stone standing not far away from him. What was this black stone? Qin Chen had never heard of it before, nor had he seen it before. However, it seemed to be engraved with some kind of inscription. Qin Chen slowly walked forward. The moment he stepped into the hall, the system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to check in at the tomb of the demon king. Could it be that there were still some powerful divinity remnants here? He then silently muttered the two words ¡°check in¡± in his heart. [Congratulations, you have successfully signed in to the Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Palace. You have received the five-colored glass flower!] [Five-colored Glass Flower: A powerful natural treasure that is extinct in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Few can see this wondrous treasure. It can make the host stronger after it has been refined. Each petal of the five-colored flower has a powerful medicinal effect. Some demonic beasts may feel fear and the flower can be used to drive them away.] Qin Chen did not expect the five-colored glass flower to have such an effect. In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, a glass flower with five-colored petals appeared. The moment the flower appeared, the big scorpion felt uncomfortable. He seemed to be somewhat fearful of this flower. It seemed that the flower made him feel afraid. Seeing the big scorpion trembling, Qin Chen realized that the flower was probably a rare treasure. Then, he looked at the true dragon. The true dragon had no reaction. After all, it was a divine beast. The five-colored glass flower only targeted demonic beasts and had nothing to do with it. Then, Qin Chen put away the five-colored glass flower. He recalled what the system had said. The place he had checked in to was called the Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Palace. Could it be that the demon king who built this tomb did not die? Could he still come back to life? As Qin Chen thought about it, he immediately felt fear. To be able to leave behind a powerful divinity remnant, the demon king had most likely taken the last step. He had become even more powerful. Chapter 516 - 516 Wordless Tombstones in the Cemetery 516 Wordless Tombstones in the Cemetery Qin Chen did not expect the demon king to be so cunning that he would even set up a reincarnation hall. If the other party really died and came back to life, even Patriarch Xuan Tian would probably die as well. After all, the demon king was extremely powerful, let alone if he was resurrected from the dead. After reincarnation, he would only be more terrifying. One could only imagine how important a place Qin Chen and the others had arrived at. The Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Hall most likely contained the secret to the revival of the demon king. Of course, there might be even more terrifying dangers within. For example, Qin Chen could feel that there was a powerful divinity remnant in the Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Hall. What was a powerful divinity remnant? According to Qin Chen¡¯s understanding, experts who could leave divinity remnants had all reached an unfathomable realm. In their current stage, it was impossible for them to resist the other party. Thinking of this, he felt a little nervous. As the minutes pass, staying in this place made Qin Chen¡¯s heart palpitate. God knows when they would die Here without even knowing how. Who knew how powerful the demon king had become? At least from Qin Chen¡¯s point of view, the demon king was not someone they could afford to offend. Therefore, Qin Chen led everyone away from this place. When the true dragon and the others heard that this place was actually the Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Hal, they were so shocked that they couldn¡¯t speak. What was the meaning of this? Could it be that the demon king was not completely dead and could still get up? This was even more unacceptable than an ancient great emperor suddenly falling from the sky. No matter what, they didn¡¯t have the guts to continue staying here. After all, if they were not careful, they would face the risk of dying. The probability of that happening was too high. At the thought of this, everyone felt their scalps go numb and quickly followed Qin Chen. This place was too dangerous. If Patriarch Xuan Tian heard that the demon king in the tomb was still alive, even he would be so frightened that he would have fled. After all, he might not even be a match for the demon king back when the latter was still alive. Now that things had come to this, it was increasingly apparent that he was definitely no match for the demon king. If he came over, he would just be a snack and be killed. Having cultivated to his current realm, Patriarch Xuan Tian cherished his life. If he knew about this top-secret information, he would definitely not stay for a second longer. Qin Chen and the others returned to the gravel-paved path. Although it was very dangerous to cross it again, Qin Chen could still resist the dangers. After all, this was related to his life. Therefore, even if he had to face a mountain of blades, a sea of flames, or a bottomless abyss, he had to brace himself and advance. It was fine as long as he could leave. Soon, Qin Chen once again met the terrifying flames. However, with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he did not suffer too serious of an injury. They quickly left the place. Qin Chen swallowed a leaf from the ancient tree of life. No matter what, the danger just now was too terrifying. He did not stop to rest along the way. Instead, he rushed back in one go. Everyone was feeling very uneasy, at a loss for what to do now. One must know that once the demon king was resurrected, Qin Chen and the others, including everyone who had entered the demon king¡¯s tomb, would probably die. Therefore, the most important thing now was to decide whether to leave or continue to search for treasures. Qin Chen made his decision. They would stay. After all, as long as the demon king did not resurrect, they could still take some of the treasures. Although they didn¡¯t know if the demon king would mind, Qin Chen and the others really needed this opportunity and treasure to quickly become stronger. Otherwise, their future would be a big problem. If they didn¡¯t become stronger, by the time they returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands, the world would be in chaos. At that point, Qin Chen would probably be forced to escape all over the world. At the thought of this, everyone agreed. As long as Qin Chen decided, since when had they objected? Right now, Qin Chen and the others were moving in another direction. They came across another place with many corpses. There were even corpses still stained with blood lying on the ground. One could imagine how much despair and surprise they had felt before their deaths. The tomb of the demon king was definitely no place to play. If one was not careful, they would pay the price with their lives. At the thought of this, everyone¡¯s vigilance was raised to 120%. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger. Qin Chen and the others did not walk far before they discovered a hidden restriction. This restriction was not too terrifying. It was easily blocked by Qin Chen alone. In other words, even experts in the God Emperor realm might not have a defense as strong as Qin Chen¡¯s. After all, Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him. In addition, he had obtained the mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Dao from the ancient tree of life¡¯s light screen back then. Even if he encountered terrifying danger again, he would be able to survive. Slowly, one tomb after another appeared in front of them. These tombs had tombstones, but they seemed to have never been engraved with anything. In other words, these tombstones were all wordless tombstones. Who was buried here? Qin Chen and the others were completely clueless. Even if they wanted to know, it was impossible. After all, no one could find out who was buried under these graves without any information. One thing was certain. There was definitely danger hidden in this cemetery. Then, Qin Chen instructed everyone, ¡°Everyone, please be careful. Otherwise, we might die here. I don¡¯t want any of us to get hurt, understand?¡± The big scorpion laughed jauntily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder King. I have my heart in my throat. I won¡¯t dare to relax even for a moment.¡± This was the truth. Even the carefree big scorpion was extremely vigilant at this time. All of them were worried that if they were to encounter any danger, they would die. Qin Chen and the others moved forward slowly and carefully, not daring to be careless. Finally, they arrived at the cemetery. Above the cemetery, they saw a powerful aura fluctuation. Something seemed to be moving under the tombstones. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared out of their wits. However, Qin Chen and the others had been dancing on the edge of a blade every time. No matter how dangerous it was, they had all experienced it, so everyone was still relatively calm. There seemed to be no light in the cemetery. God knows that terrifying dangers there were in the shadows. Chapter 517 - 517 Mummy 517 Mummy In a short while, a bone-piercing cold wind blew. It was only now that everyone felt that this was the real scenery of the demon king¡¯s tomb. Slowly, a wisp of evil aura floated over, and Qin Chen and the others sensed it. It seemed that the situation they had expected was far less dangerous. Qin Chen faced the tombstones and walked in front of the crowd. He headed over step by step. ¡°Could the things down there possibly move?¡± The big scorpion was a little scared. It was hard for him not to think about it when the cold wind blew on him. After all, no matter what, this place was not a place for the living. Although the demon king was not dead, this place still seemed to be filled with a deathly aura, with a large amount of evil aura present. Qin Chen walked to the first tombstone. The tombstone seemed to tremble, which shocked Qin Chen. Could the big scorpion¡¯s mouth have been blessed? What they feared the most was here. A hand emitting black smoke reached out from under the tombstone. It seemed that whatever it was, it wanted to climb out. ¡°Elder King, look! The grave can¡¯t suppress the thing buried below!¡± At this point, Qin Chen was very tempted to block the big scorpion¡¯s mouth. If this continued, who would be able to take it? Unfortunately, he had no way of blocking the big scorpion¡¯s mouth. Qin Chen suddenly felt a terrifying fluctuation under the tombstone and his hair instantly stood on end. This was because, in the blink of an eye, half of the buried person¡¯s body had climbed out of the tombstone. The other party looked like a puppet that had been refined after death. It glared at Qin Chen and the others with a pair of cold and emotionless eyes as if it wanted to kill them. This should be the danger of this cemetery. Qin Chen and the others had to overcome it to have a chance of obtaining treasures and opportunities. This puppet-like person¡¯s aura had already reached level 3 of the Great God realm. Qin Chen gave the true dragon a look, indicating that he would handle it himself. After all, such a suitable opponent was a good opportunity for Qin Chen to practice and temper himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to become an expert. Food had to be eaten bite by bite, and one had to walk on the road step by step. The process could not be rushed. That being said, one could choose to eat faster or walk faster. What Qin Chen needed now was the sped-up process. In this process, the most important part was the tempering of staying between life and death. Only under the tempering of staying between life and death could one transform faster and become more powerful. Therefore, Qin Chen decided to deal with this guy himself. As Qin Chen was already a level 7 God realm expert, coupled with the various treasures and remarkable supernormal knowledge he had on him, he should be able to compete with this fellow. At the thought of this, Qin Chen immediately made his move. He circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme, and a heavenly roar erupted as he attacked the fellow before him! An innate sword embryo appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. He poured all of his divine power into the weapon and slashed at the terrifying Great God-realm enemy. As the sword slashed out, it caused the void to collapse. In an instant, the chaotic sword energy ruthlessly slashed at the other party¡¯s body. The other party was not completely void of consciousness. It still knew how to dodge. That being said, probably due to being transformed into such a state, the other party was only left with bloodthirsty instincts and wanted to kill. Facing the chaotic sword energy, it was cut on the shoulder. Qin Chen was very surprised. The fellow¡¯s body was very strong. The chaotic sword energy hit its body, but it seemed to have no effect. This surprised Qin Chen greatly. Following this, the other party immediately charged toward Qin Chen. It was its turn to counterattack. Qin Chen watched as the other party came toward him and became serious and cautious. Unfortunately, the fellow wasn¡¯t thinking of just defeating Qin Chen. It wanted to kill him. It seemed that only by killing Qin Chen would the other party be able to feel the thrill. Qin Chen felt that the other party was comparable to the demonic puppets refined by the bloody man. Though, this fellow was more suitable for killing. ¡°Roar!¡± When the other party dashed toward Qin Chen, it did not hesitate. In an instant, it let out a low growl. There seemed to be something in its throat, causing its voice to be hoarse. Its hands turned into sharp claws, wanting to tear Qin Chen into pieces. But who was Qin Chen? He easily blocked the other party¡¯s claw. The mummy-like fellow was so powerful that even Qin Chen was caught off guard. Although he had managed to resist the sharp claws, the web between his thumb and forefinger that was holding the innate sword embryo turned numb from the impact. One could only imagine how terrifying it would be if this strike had landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body. At the thought of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with apprehension. However, under the threat of life and death, Qin Chen could feel that he seemed to have become even stronger. It turned out that some experts who pursued the martial path kept looking for opponents because they could become stronger through fighting. As he thought of this, a sense of fatal danger suddenly emerged in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. The mummified fellow once again clawed at him, wanting to end him. But how could Qin Chen die so easily? Even if Qin Chen were to stand there and let the mummy-like fellow attack him, he would not die any time soon. Buzz! A burst of white light flickered on Qin Chen¡¯s body. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor automatically protected its owner, blocking the claw attack for Qin Chen. Still, Qin Chen¡¯s blood energy flowed in reverse, and a trace of red appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was only now that Qin Chen finally shifted his attention to the mummy in front of him. The hands of the mummy seemed to have already been deformed. Its claws had turned black and were extremely hard. The mummy seemed to want to break through Qin Chen¡¯s defense and stab its claws into the latter¡¯s body, then tear him into pieces. Qin Chen roared and immediately punched out. One should know that Qin Chen had already cultivated the acupoint technique. His blood energy in that instant was so terrifying that he looked like an enraged beast. Chapter 518 - 518 Headless Monster 518 Headless Monster Qin Chen did not show any mercy. He immediately used the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s fist exploded with a dazzling light, and with a sharp aura, it blasted the body of the mummy-like fellow before him. The mummy obviously did not expect Qin Chen to be able to take its attack head-on. It seemed to be a little confused. Before it could react, it was punched by Qin Chen. This punch sent the mummy flying a hundred miles away. Then, Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and continued to chase after the other party, wanting to kill the mummy. Qin Chen was simply fearless of the other party. After all, even if a God Emperor-realm expert were to attack him, he would not be afraid. Qin Chen threw out another punch. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist bloomed in his hand as if he was a peerless God of War. The terrifying Six Paths Reincarnation Fist¡¯s fist intent landed on the mummy and instantly hit it in the chest. It fell to the ground and created a big pit. When the dust had settled, the mummy reappeared from the pit with its joints slightly twisted. Qin Chen looked at the other party. Clearly, the mummy had not lost its ability to fight. On the contrary, it had been successfully angered. A terrifying aura burst out from the mummy¡¯s body, causing Qin Chen and the others to be stunned. Then, it jumped out of the pit and towards Qin Chen. The mummy¡¯s strength was extremely terrifying. It abruptly swiped its claw at Qin Chen, but there was no fear in the latter¡¯s eyes, only surging battle intent. ¡°Come!¡± Qin Chen roared. Following this, he held the innate sword embryo and charged over. The strength of the Great God-realm mummy was only so-so, and Qin Chen managed to dodge its attack by a hair¡¯s breadth. However, Qin Chen was still hit by the mummy¡¯s second claw attack. In an instant, blood flowed out of the corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth. He felt blood coming up his throat, but now was not the time to stop. Then, Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and arrived behind the mummy. He used the innate sword embryo to slash at the mummy¡¯s neck. After all, the mummy was dead. No matter how strong its physical body was, no matter how well its power was preserved, it had a limit. Its reaction was simply not as agile as Qin Chen¡¯s. The sword was as fast as lightning as it slashed at the neck of the mummy. Qin Chen knew that he would not be able to kill the other party with just one sword, so when the mummy reacted and turned its head, Qin Chen twisted the innate sword embryo and stabbed it into the mummy¡¯s head, instantly piercing through it! Then, he pulled out the innate sword embryo and took a step back. The mummy seemed to have lost its power and fell to the ground with a loud crash. It was completely dead in a huge pit it had created. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood as he stared coldly at the other tombstones. He knew that the matter was far from over. Just by killing the mummy, the other mummies would come back to life. A slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole! Mummies were now climbing out of their graves. One could only imagine how terrifying and dangerous it would be for Qin Chen and the others to face so many mummies that were fearless of death. The true dragon transformed back into its true form, and its body exuded a terrifying dragon¡¯s might, which made the surrounding people feel terrified. Then, it spat out a mouthful of dragon flames at the mummies that had crawled out! One should know that this was the innate flame of the true dragon race, which was extremely terrifying. The mummies that had just crawled out of the wordless tombstones were destined to be unable to resist the flames no matter how strong their physical bodies were. In an instant, the dragon flame that the true dragon spat out was like a fire dragon that swept out. These mummies were almost berserk. They were destined to be unable to withstand the dragon flames. As if they had met their nemesis, they simply burned. It didn¡¯t take too long for the mummies to turn into a pile of charcoal. After all, that was the dragon flame with terrifying power. The crowd watched the spectacular scene. It was as if a sea of fire had been set off. Even some wordless tombstones were burnt black. Qin Chen swallowed some leaves from the ancient tree of life to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible. His injuries were not that serious, but they also greatly weakened his combat strength. Looking at the mummies that were still emerging from the wordless tombstones around him, he immediately released the Green Lotus Demonic Flame. It should be known that the Green Lotus Demonic Flame was a terrifying flame that was not much different from the innate dragon flame of the true dragon race. Since these mummies still wanted to come out, Qin Chen would play with them until the end. Whenever a mummy appeared, he would burn it. He would like to see how many mummies there were here. These mummies were afraid of fire, especially the terrifying Green Lotus Demonic Flame and the innate dragon flame. After all, they were already dead, so their body had accumulated boundless yin energy and evil aura. They were very fearful of fire. Even though they couldn¡¯t feel any pain, they knew that if they were to continue being burned like this, they would be destroyed. Therefore, after many of the mummies under the wordless tombstones woke up, they crawled out and tried to escape from the green and red sea of fire. They did not expect the flames to be so terrifying that they were simply no match. After that, Qin Chen and the rest immediately wanted to leave and move forward. They didn¡¯t know if there were any more terrifying dangers here other than the wordless tombstones, so it was better to leave. However, just as they were about to escape from the sea of fire, a terrifying fluctuation burst out. The terrifying fluctuation made their hearts palpitate. Qin Chen and the others wondered what was going on. The cemetery looked like it was about to be split in half. Then, a terrifying figure burst out from the ground and rushed out. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with extreme fear. This was because the other party didn¡¯t have a head. No matter what, it should have a head. Yet, its neck was bare, and there seemed to be black blood scabs. It looked like the headless monster had probably long lost its head. Chapter 519 - 519 Shattered Tombstones 519 Shattered Tombstones In an instant, the headless fellow charged toward Qin Chen and the others, wanting to kill them here. There seemed to be thick armor on the body of the headless mummy, making it look like a small mountain. Its aura had already reached level 7 of the God Emperor realm, the same realm as a true dragon. However, what frightened the true dragon was that the other party seemed to have a terrifying blood-evil aura. The terrifying blood-evil aura, which was about to condense into a solid form, was extremely terrifying. If the true dragon were to be enveloped by the terrifying blood-evil aura, it was very likely that it would be severely injured and even die. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and slashed at the terrifying headless mummy. In his opinion, there was nothing that could not be solved with a single strike. If there was, it meant that there was a need for an even stronger strike. This headless mummy was quite terrifying. Qin Chen wanted to probe its strength. He wanted to see how powerful this monster was. The headless mummy shot out a wave of blood-evil aura that devoured Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic sword energy. It was as if Qin Chen¡¯s attack had never appeared in this world. With a terrifying aura, the blood-evil aura continued coming toward Qin Chen and the others. Seeing that the situation was not good, the true dragon spat out another mouthful of dragon flames, the result of it compressing the dragon flames in its body to the extreme. It wanted to see if this could withstand the attack of the headless mummy. Qin Chen immediately retreated. Behind him, the true dragon spat out a streak of dragon flame that went around him and attacked the blood-evil aura. The blood-evil aura and the dragon flames collided, and in an instant, a shocking power exploded. No one had any idea what kind of monster this was. Even without a head, it was still so terrifying. One could only imagine how terrifying this headless mummy was at its peak. The terrifying fluctuations made it hard for people to breathe. The attack was just so terrifying. Even if the true dragon were to go all out, it didn¡¯t know if it could suppress the headless mummy. After all, this headless mummy was too terrifying. Qin Chen was certain that when the other party had been alive, he might have already been an expert close to the peak of the God Emperor realm. It was a pity that it had been refined into such a thing after its death. It was now neither a human nor a ghost. Its current state could almost be considered torture. Even its head had been cut off, and no one knew where it was. And now, the headless mummy had been resurrected. Its first targets were Qin Chen and the others who were still alive. In its eyes, these living creatures were nothing. The mummy didn¡¯t know how to describe it, but it simply had the urge to destroy all living things. Therefore, the headless mummy directly attacked Qin Chen and the others. Even if Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave now, it wouldn¡¯t be easy. With such a terrifying headless mummy behind them, no matter what they did, they might be killed. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others stopped. In the face of this headless mummy, the true dragon was not confident since it did not know how to destroy the other party. Even though the headless mummy had been refined into this state, its strength was still on par with the true dragon, or even more terrifying. The true dragon glanced at Qin Chen as if asking him if he had any ideas. Qin Chen transmitted his voice to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon, if we can¡¯t win, we can run. Don¡¯t fight to the death with this thing.¡± Qin Chen could also see that this terrifying headless mummy was quite capable. Soon, the true dragon took to the air and attacked the headless mummy. This terrifying scene caused everyone¡¯s hearts to jump. Both the headless mummy and the true dragon were at level 7 of the God Emperor realm. The two of them fought against each other and caused huge bangs that erupted with incomparably terrifying fluctuations. Everyone was shocked to see that the true dragon was sent flying and crashed into the ground. However, Qin Chen still had confidence in the true dragon. He believed that the true dragon should be able to withstand the attack of the headless mummy. A few terrifying fluctuations could be seen, and then a heart-shaking shock erupted. The true dragon and the headless mummy attacked each other, wishing they could tear off the other¡¯s flesh and blood. With a loud bang, the true dragon smashed into the wordless tombstones, creating a huge pit while shattering the tombstones into countless pieces. Everyone started to worry. Holding the innate sword embryo, Qin Chen injected all of his divine power into the innate sword embryo, then charged at the terrifying headless mummy. They could only move on after the headless mummy was destroyed. Otherwise, they would be trapped here forever. Without hesitation, Qin Chen activated his Chaotic Divine Body and charged toward the headless mummy using the Moving Secret Technique. The headless mummy was covered in thick armor that looked rusty but was still an extraordinary treasure. Then, Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic sword energy landed on the other party¡¯s body. When the terrifying chaotic sword energy was activated, even the void trembled. The headless mummy did not expect such a day to come. To think it was being attacked by a God-realm expert. When Qin Chen¡¯s sword energy struck the headless mummy, everyone was eager to see if the Elder King had any way to break through the mummy¡¯s defense. After all, the headless mummy was too powerful. The frighteningly thick armor on its body made Qin Chen very depressed. His attacks could not hit the headless mummy at all. Qin Chen¡¯s innate sword embryo ruthlessly slashed at the headless mummy¡¯s armor, instantly numbing the web between his thumb and forefinger. The headless mummy immediately freed a hand, and a punch landed on Qin Chen¡¯s chest. In that instant, Qin Chen felt that the fist of the headless mummy was about to make his chest stuck to his back. A huge dent appeared on his chest, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and hit a wordless tombstone. Qin Chen had never thought that he would one day be sitting next to a tombstone. Crack! In an instant, the wordless tombstone cracked into countless pieces. The wordless tombstone shattered! It was quite obvious that the headless mummy was too terrifying. Even Qin Chen could not deal with it when he went all out. On the other side, the true dragon was still struggling to hold on. It didn¡¯t know when the battle could stop completely. The headless mummy was just too terrifying. Chapter 520 - 520 Nanli Bright Flame Pearl 520 Nanli Bright Flame Pearl Qin Chen did not expect that the wordless tombstone would shatter in front of him. He was quite wary because he felt that there seemed to be a mummy crawling out from behind him. A hand patted Qin Chen¡¯s shoulder. Qin Chen felt that he was in a critical moment. To think he had encountered a terrifying danger at this time. At this moment, a fluctuation rippled in his mind. [Ding dong!] [A weak divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen did not expect that there would be a faint divinity remnant on the wordless tombstone. He nodded without hesitation, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully signed in to the wordless sacred tombstone. You¡¯ve received the Nanli Bright Fire Pearl!] [Nanli Bright Fire Pearl: A terrifying pearl that contains the Nanli Bright Fire which is a divine fire from beyond the heavens that a Fire Sage found. It is extremely terrifying and can explode instantly, having a certain chance of killing God Emperors. It is a one-time consumable.] Hearing this, Qin Chen was overjoyed. To think he could obtain such a treasure by checking in at the wordless tombstone. One must know that he was now in a pinch. If he didn¡¯t have the Nanli Bright Fire Pearl, he might not have been able to deal with the mummy on his back. Qin Chen could sense that the mummy behind had reached level 5 of the Great God realm. It was extremely terrifying. At this moment, it had already made a move on Qin Chen, wanting to destroy him. The terrifying level 5 Great God-realm mummy caused fear to rise in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others were extremely worried, ¡°Elder King!¡± They could see that the wordless tombstone behind the Elder King had shattered and a level 5 Great God-realm mummy had crawled out from behind him. The mummy was extremely terrifying. It had two sharp teeth and bit down on Qin Chen. It seemed to want to tear Qin Chen¡¯s neck into pieces. In an instant, Qin Chen was ready. A terrifying but extremely small bead appeared in his hand. He simply threw it behind himself. After that, Qin Chen infused all the remaining divine power in his body into the Supreme Heavenly Origin Amor. Following this, his lips curled into a smile. Then, the crowd saw a terrifying explosion behind Qin Chen, and the latter was instantly sent flying. As for the level 5 Great God-realm mummy, it was completely dead now. Not even a trace of it was left. The mummy was already dead, to begin with. At such a close distance, it couldn¡¯t dodge at all. It was instantly blasted into ashes. Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him. Although the Nanli Bright Fire Pearl had a certain chance of killing God Emperor-realm experts, it was nothing in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. It was not enough to take his life. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s face was deathly pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood and lost all his strength. He knelt and fell forward. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion quickly caught Qin Chen with their fastest speed. They could feel that he was not dead yet. Then, Qin Chen took out the leaves from the ancient tree of life. He didn¡¯t have to do it himself. Holy Maiden Mu Xue fed him the leaves so that he could refine them. As long as Qin Chen was not completely dead, there was still hope for saving him. The Nanli Bright Fire Pearl had been somewhat wasted. If Qin Chen had blasted it on the headless mummy, it might have been killed. The terrifying headless mummy was still fighting with the true dragon. The true dragon was already exhausted. The headless mummy seemed to be able to drag on until the true dragon died. Qin Chen had blown a level 5 Great God-realm mummy into ashes. One could imagine how terrifying the Nanli Bright Fire Pearl was. However, since Qin Chen had been so close to the explosion when the pearl was detonated, he was naturally seriously injured. He seemed to be on the verge of death now. His life was hanging by a thread only thanks to the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves. Otherwise, he might have already died. Everyone was ready to leave. Qin Chen used his spiritual will to send a message to the true dragon, ¡°Brother dragon, quickly think of a way to escape. Let¡¯s run forward and lie low for a while.¡± Hearing this, the true dragon gritted its teeth and decided to fight it out with the headless mummy. It told Qin Chen and the others to leave first, saying that it would follow after. Everyone did not dare to stay any longer and left with Qin Chen. Now that Qin Chen was seriously injured, he would be in great danger if he continued to stay. After all, this place was extremely terrifying. There was still an endless stream of mummies crawling out of the cemetery. They couldn¡¯t do anything to the mummies for the time being, so they could only keep running forward and see if there was anything in front. Thinking of this, everyone ran forward crazily. Finally, they found a cave and hid in it. Soon after, the true dragon followed the traces left behind by Qin Chen and the others and came as well, turning into its human form before hiding inside. It seemed that only by staying in the cave could they keep the mummies in the cemetery at bay. The true dragon had only managed to be rid of the terrifying headless mummy with great difficulty. It seemed to have suffered heavy injuries and paid a great price. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t have escaped so quickly. They had temporarily shaken off the mummies. Qin Chen¡¯s current appearance was even more miserable than the true dragon¡¯s, but his injuries had also stabilized. At this moment, Qin Chen looked into the depths of the cave. He seemed to have felt a powerful fluctuation. He was not the only one. The others also felt it. Immediately, everyone¡¯s hearts tensed up. They couldn¡¯t possibly have to go out now, right? If they were to go out again, a disaster might happen. With everyone¡¯s current condition, they couldn¡¯t deal with those mummies at all. It was very likely that they would lose their lives in vain. Qin Chen immediately sent a voice transmission to Holy Maiden Mu Xue, asking her to throw a moonstone in to see if there was anything in the depths of the cave. With that, Holy Maiden Mu Xue threw a moonstone over. The moonstone was originally used for illumination anyway. They seemed to have seen something flash by and suddenly disappear. Then, the moonstone slowly lost its light as if it was swallowed by darkness. ¡°Then¡­ What¡¯s that?¡± The big scorpion was trembling, and his voice was filled with fear. Chapter 521 - 521 Darkness 521 Darkness The big scorpion was trembling. He did not dare to imagine what was in the cave. All of a sudden, they saw a terrifying shadow flash past and everyone¡¯s hearts trembled. They had never thought that they would encounter such a terrifying existence here. They had clearly sensed an aura that was comparable to the God Emperor realm. Could it be that there was a terrifying God Emperor realm being in this cave? Qin Chen and the others found it unimaginable. They had just escaped from a God Emperor-realm mummy. To think they would encounter another enemy. If this continued, wouldn¡¯t they be dead very soon? No one knew what terrifying existence was in this cave, but they had no choice. They couldn¡¯t go out now. Due to the commotion caused by Qin Chen and the others, the cemetery outside was completely shaken and countless mummies had crawled out. If they went out now, they might die. Therefore, they could only choose to face that terrifying existence now. Qin Chen asked Holy Maiden Mu Xue to throw another moonstone into the cave. The moonstone glowed and fell into the depths of the cave. Once again, they gained a clear view of the situation in the cave. Everyone could see that there were many green rocks in the area. And once again, darkness enveloped the moonstone almost instantly. In a short while, they could no longer see the depths of the cave. What was certain was that none of them had hallucinated. There really was a terrifying existence in the cave which was extremely powerful. At the thought of this, Qin Chen said to the crowd, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Let¡¯s set up an array first. As long as that thing tries to attack, it will definitely touch the array.¡± Everyone hurriedly set up the array. Doing so was obviously more reliable. After they set up the array, they were at a loss for what to do. Qin Chen was currently injured, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to recover. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s current state, everyone could only stay where they were and wait to see if that terrifying existence would come out and attack them. If yes, they could only use all their strength to resist. Qin Chen knew that time was running out. He seized every minute to recover his strength and heal his injuries. It was very likely that they would face an even worse situation soon. Once that happened, it would be too late for anything. Shortly, something happened. The terrifying aura appeared once again, approaching Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, something touched the array and a terrifying fluctuation erupted, making those in the array feel extremely terrified. However, there was nothing they could do now. The true dragon was already prepared for battle, but the fluctuations quickly disappeared. The scene was so quiet that they could hear their heartbeats. The terrifying pressure came quickly and left quickly as if it had never appeared. However, everyone¡¯s heart tensed up. What could they do now? They could only take one step at a time. They had no other choice. Slowly, after an unknown period, Qin Chen finally opened his eyes. His injuries had almost recovered. He still looked very weak, though. His entire face was pale. Then, Qin Chen walked out of the array, step by step. He looked into the depths of the cave. Then, he said to the crowd, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s inside.¡± It wasn¡¯t a good idea to keep waiting. Therefore, Qin Chen decided to take the initiative. At least then, they wouldn¡¯t be in a passive position. God knows when the terrifying existence in the cave would attack them. This was now the only thing they could do. Otherwise, they would be in danger. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone nodded. After all, they had had enough. Hence, they walked into the depths of the cave together. Qin Chen took out a moonstone from his storage ring and threw it out, lighting up the darkness ahead. They could see that there was still a large area of darkness in front of them. They didn¡¯t know how deep the hole was, but they had no choice but to keep walking. They wanted to find out what was inside, but at this point, they hadn¡¯t found anything. There was nothing they could see. Qin Chen threw out another moonstone. The moonstone disappeared into the darkness without a sound. Qin Chen felt that there was something wrong with the darkness ahead. To think it could even devour the light. Wouldn¡¯t they be equivalent to being blind in there? Fortunately, the darkness was unable to devour their spiritual wills. Up until now, Qin Chen and the others could still use their spiritual wills to explore the darkness. It was a little troublesome to use spiritual will to explore, so Qin Chen and the others slowly entered the darkness. The moment they did so, they felt as if they couldn¡¯t see anything. They could see nothing in the darkness. However, they also knew that the terrifying existence should be hidden within. Following this, Qin Chen and the others seemed to feel the fluctuations of an array. They felt their hair stand on end. Was there a mistake? Why was there an array in the darkness? Wasn¡¯t this equivalent to forcing them to jump into a fire pit? But at this point, they didn¡¯t have any other choice. They could only keep moving forward to see what kind of danger was in the darkness ahead. Not long after, the group finally entered the depths of the cave. Time was stretched out and they felt as if they couldn¡¯t feel the passage of time as they walked in the dark. However, one thing was for sure. They were very close to the terrifying existence in the dark array. The God Emperor realm fluctuations had become increasingly intense. Finally, Qin Chen and the rest stopped. They looked forward. Even though they could not see anything with their eyes, they still had their divine senses. As such, they could see in the darkness that there was a huge existence in front of them. Its eyes were closed, but the terrifying existence was definitely still alive. Its body was still emitting God Emperor-realm fluctuations. This was also the reason why Qin Chen and the others did not dare to act rashly. Chapter 522 - 522 Flame Wing Beast 522 Flame Wing Beast By the time Qin Chen and the rest came to their senses, they noticed huge chains made of unknown materials binding the huge and terrifying existence here. If not for this reason, the other party would have killed them long ago. The terrifying existence in the God Emperor realm opened its eyes, staring at Qin Chen and the others and wondering what they were thinking about. In the darkness, its eyes emitted a faint golden light. The big scorpion didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. He was afraid of angering this terrifying existence. If the other party ate him, wouldn¡¯t he be courting death? Therefore, he could only place his hopes on Qin Chen. No matter what, this terrifying existence should only be in the God Emperor realm. The true dragon was also a God Emperor-realm expert. If a fight really broke out, he believed that the true dragon should be able to resist it for the time being. Qin Chen and the others looked at the terrifying existence and didn¡¯t know what to say. It had already reached a height that no one could reach. It was extremely powerful. Even though it was bound and extremely weak, its aura was still stronger than the true dragon¡¯s. The true dragon had never thought that it would encounter such a terrifying existence here. At this point, they could only decide what to do as things happened. Qin Chen looked at this terrifying existence. It looked at him as well and felt his immense spiritual power. Then, it growled at him. This sound was deafening, causing Qin Chen¡¯s hair to be loosened from its tied state. He looked at the terrifying existence and asked, ¡°Senior, why are you trapped here?¡± Qin Chen was certain that this terrifying being was trapped here. What he did not know was that the terrifying existence was already planning how to eat them. In its opinion, Qin Chen and the others should taste very good. If it could, it wanted to eat Qin Chen and the others. Unfortunately, the chains on its body had been extracting its power, slowly exhausting it. As a result, its cultivation realm had fallen, and even its life force was being extracted. One could only imagine what it had gone through. The terrifying existence looked at the true dragon. It was quite surprised. It didn¡¯t expect that an expert of the true dragon race would come to this damn place. One should know that the true dragon race was extremely noble. Normally, they would not appear in such a place. Although the terrifying existence was surprised, it still answered Qin Chen¡¯s question. ¡°I¡¯m a flame-wing beast. Members of my race are born to be comparable to the top divine beasts. Unfortunately, I accidentally entered this place and have been trapped here for countless years.¡± No wonder. Qin Chen and the rest had long realized that this fellow was extraordinary. It was likely that it was already an expert at the peak of the God Emperor realm. Pitifully, there was nothing it could do but be trapped here. Qin Chen and the others turned to the flame-wing beast and asked, ¡°Is there any way to save senior?¡± The flame-wing beast¡¯s spirit was immediately roused. Since there was a God Emperor-realm true dragon among them, they should be able to save it. It then told Qin Chen and the others that as long as they could break the chains on it, it would be able to be free. Unfortunately, even though the true dragon used all its strength, it was still useless. After all, whoever could trap such a terrifying existence must be terrifying as well. The chances of breaking such a terrifying person¡¯s chains in a short time were not high. At this point, Qin Chen had almost fully recovered, so he walked over directly. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused his divine power into it. Very quickly, a terrifying fluctuation erupted, causing everyone to be extremely shocked. A terrifying emperor¡¯s might spread out. What kind of fluctuation was this? The flame-wing beast immediately felt its blood run cold. He had never felt such a terrifying aura before. One must know that the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hands was an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. It was extremely terrifying. It clearly wasn¡¯t difficult for it to cut off the chains on the flame-wing beast. Soon after, Qin Chen exerted his strength. The innate sword embryo in his hand burst out with chaotic sword energy and slashed forward. The chains trembled, and after an unknown amount of time, it was finally about to shatter. The flame-wing beast¡¯s heart trembled. It had never thought that it would be rescued so quickly. Then, Qin Chen put away the innate sword embryo and looked at the trembling flame-wing beast. It didn¡¯t take long for the flame-wing beast to break free. After being trapped in this cave for so many years, it had finally escaped! It then transformed into his human form, a middle-aged man. The man cupped his hands at Qin Chen and the others, ¡°Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist.¡± If it were any other ordinary being, they would have long since died. The flame-wing beast was clearly a very terrifying existence, or else it wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold on until now. Then, he bashfully asked Qin Chen for some natural treasures to recover his strength. Qin Chen took out a branch from the ancient tree of life and handed it to the flame-wing beast. After the flame-wing beast refined the branch, it was extremely shocked. What kind of treasure was this? It had never heard of it before. It was only a branch, yet it had almost completely healed all of its injuries. It immediately asked Qin Chen about the branch¡¯s origins, but how could Qin Chen tell it? It was just an ordinary branch. Then, he laughed, ¡°Senior, you should be very familiar with this place, right?¡± No matter what, the flame-wing beast was still an expert. The fact that it had been able to make it all the way here was already a testament to its power. No one had ever expected it to be trapped here. If Qin Chen and the others had not appeared today, it would not have been able to hold on for much longer. It looked at Qin Chen, ¡°There¡¯s a great opportunity here. It¡¯s said that someone once saw a Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass here. If one consumes it, one can break through one¡¯s bottleneck.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was tempted. The flame-wing beast continued, ¡°This thing isn¡¯t of much use to me, so I wanted to use it to exchange for some other treasures. To think I was trapped here in the end¡­ Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about it, let¡¯s not talk about it.¡± Then, the flame-wing beast led the group to the front. There was another exit in the depths of the cave! In an instant, Qin Chen and the others saw a huge palace. Chapter 523 - 523 Bronze Mask Puppet 523 Bronze Mask Puppet This was a huge palace. How could they describe it? Other than the word ¡°enormous¡±, there was no other word to describe the place. Qin Chen and the rest had never seen such a huge palace before. It seemed almost inexplicable. They stopped in their tracks and did not continue to move forward rashly. The flame-wing beast said, ¡°Everyone, be careful. There¡¯s quite a bit of danger up ahead.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s heart was on full alert. If even an expert like the flame-wing beast said such things, it meant that there really was a terrifying danger ahead. The flame-wing beast took the lead. It now owed Qin Chen and the others a favor, plus it needed the terrifying branch in Qin Chen¡¯s hand if it wanted to recover to its peak state. The unknown branch contained boundless life force. Just by refining one, the flame-wing beast felt that its injuries had almost recovered. At this point, it could only rely on Qin Chen to recover to its peak. Seeing that the flame-wing beast had recovered to almost level 9 of the God Emperor realm, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but suspect that if it were to recover to its peak, would it go past the peak of the God Emperor realm? Soon after, after the flame-wing beast walked some distance ahead, a terrifying fluctuation burst out, and a white light shot out. The flame-wing beast immediately transformed into its true form, an enormous, ferocious beast. To Qin Chen¡¯s surprise, the flame-wing beast swallowed the terrifying energy wave. Everyone was stunned. Such a terrifying restriction attack was gone just like that? The flame-wing beast began to explain. It turned out that they were a bloodline left behind by an ancient heaven-devouring beast. As such, it had some of the talents of ancient heaven-devouring beasts. At the same time, it just so happened that the flame-wing beast before them now had a relatively thick bloodline. Any attack it could swallow could be digested and turned into its power. Qin Chen and the rest had never heard of such a thing. This flame-wing beast was simply too terrifying. To think it was so powerful. Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. After that, the flame-wing beast continued on its way. All the restrictions it encountered were devoured. This caused Qin Chen and the others to feel a bit worried. If the flame-wing beast continued to devour, would it explode? This was truly too terrifying. This was the power of the flame-wing beast. Everyone followed closely behind the flame-wing beast. As long as they did so, they shouldn¡¯t be in any danger. It did not take long for them to arrive in front of the huge palace. Feeling the terrifying fluctuations, they were alarmed. If there was some terrifying attack hidden in this palace, they would probably be seriously injured or even die. But still, the flame-wing beast continued to walk forward. It simply pushed open the palace¡¯s door. As soon as the palace¡¯s door was pushed open, a terrifying aura leaked out, causing fear to rise in everyone¡¯s hearts. Even though they did not know what kind of terrifying existence was in this palace, they didn¡¯t have a choice. Sensing the terrifying aura, the flame-wing beast¡¯s heart grew heavy. It was obvious that the danger ahead was extremely terrifying. However, since they wanted to obtain the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass, they would probably have to pay the price. The flame-wing beast said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something extraordinary in there. Let¡¯s be careful.¡± Everyone was on high alert as they followed the flame-wing beast into the palace, only to discover that the palace¡¯s door was shut with a loud bang the split second after they entered. It was something that they had never expected. However, this was not the most terrifying part. A figure slowly walked out from inside. It was a puppet. The aura on its body was extremely terrifying. It had already reached the peak of the God Emperor realm. There seemed to be many seals on the puppet to restrict it. Qin Chen and the others saw the other party¡¯s face. To think it was wearing a bronze mask that exuded a demonic aura. It seemed to be able to control the puppet. The puppet was at the peak of the God Emperor realm. One could imagine how terrifying it would be if it were still alive. To think even such an expert had been refined into a puppet, it seemed that the demon king¡¯s tomb was really dangerous. Qin Chen and the others took a step back. Only the true dragon and the flame-wing beast didn¡¯t retreat. A terrifying aura erupted from their bodies. The true dragon was a level 7 God Emperor realm expert while the flame-wing beast had already recovered to level 9 of the God Emperor realm. The two together should be able to put up a fight against the terrifying puppet. The reason why this puppet was placed here was probably to protect the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass. According to the flame-wing beast, the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass was extremely precious. Even in the Divine Illusionary Realm, it was a treasure that was hard to find. Many old monsters would probably be willing to fly over to trade just to obtain a Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass. To them, the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass was very useful. Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others immediately understood that the puppet that had already reached the peak of the God Emperor rank was only an appetizer in this palace. The process of obtaining the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass would be extremely difficult. However, they had no choice. After all, the Hundred Spirit Nirvana Grass was something that everyone was tempted by. They couldn¡¯t possibly return empty-handed. Soon after, the terrifying puppet began to rapidly launch attacks at the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. The flame-wing beast and true dragon were both in their original forms. Only by doing so would they be able to display their full battle prowess. In an instant, the two terrifying behemoths charged towards the peak God Emperor-realm puppet. The peak God Emperor-realm puppet was incomparably terrifying. It instantly tore through the void and arrived before the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. It punched out with both fists at the two incomparably terrifying giant beasts! The punches were imbued with the power of heaven and earth. The entire palace seemed to be the puppet¡¯s home ground. Qin Chen noticed that the puppet had been specially made for this palace. An unknown amount of energy gathered onto the puppet in the palace, making it even more powerful, enabling it to charge toward the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. The most important thing was the structure of the palace. There must be an array connected throughout the place. If Qin Chen could find the array in this palace and destroy it, the strength of this puppet should drop quite a bit. He immediately took action. Chapter 524 - 524 Mysterious Energy 524 Mysterious Energy Qin Chen had, after all, refined Zhen Xiezi¡¯s memories. He quickly found the clues. After that, he sent a voice transmission to everyone, asking them to split up and destroy the places with the array. The powerful puppet¡¯s fists slammed into the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, instantly sending them crashing into the ground. To think the puppet was so terrifying! The flame-wing beast immediately stood up from the ground, then viciously swiped out with its claw. Its claws were like a ray of white light, cutting into the puppet¡¯s body. In an instant, the puppet let out an ear-piercing sound. Unexpectedly, the puppet had a very powerful body! Not to be outdone, the true dragon spat out dragon flame, the innate flame of the true dragon race which was extremely terrifying! In an instant, the flame burned the void and turned into a fire dragon, sweeping toward the puppet. The puppet did not have time to react and was instantly burned. However, the bronze mask on his face emitted a terrifying brilliance that blocked the terrifying dragon flames. Even the true dragon did not expect the opponent to be so powerful. One should know that it was a true dragon. The innate dragon flame of the true dragon race could even burn the void, yet it was blocked by the bronze mask on the face of a puppet. One could imagine how powerful the bronze mask was. It must be something with a great background. Then, the bronze mask on the puppet¡¯s face seemed to burst with a terrifying restriction, and a ray of light shot straight at the true dragon. The true dragon let out a low roar and spat out another stream of dragon flames! If the true dragon did not react like this, it couldn¡¯t withstand the terrifying fluctuation-like restriction attack. On the other side, Qin Chen and the others found the places with arrays in the palaces and destroyed them directly. The puppet¡¯s strength was instantly greatly reduced. One must know that a considerable part of the reason why the puppet could become so powerful was that the power in the palace was supporting it. Seeing this, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon once again attacked the puppet. The bronze-masked puppet seemed to not have gotten used to its weakened state and was sent flying by the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. God knows how the puppet¡¯s body was refined, but it was extremely terrifying. Even Qin Chen and the others felt that the puppet seemed to be indestructible. After that, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon looked at each other and attacked again! The flame-wing beast spat out a terrifying attack, while the true dragon spat out dragon flames. The two attacks struck the puppet at the same time. However, the puppet seemed completely unaffected, and it managed to block the attack. This time, a crack appeared on the puppet¡¯s body. It seemed to be enraged as a murderous and extremely terrifying aura soared into the sky. Following this, it once again charged toward the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. The bronze mask on its face burst out with a terrifying fluctuation at this time, causing a layer of light to seemingly appear on the puppet, making it extremely terrifying. ¡°Not good!¡± Even if Qin Chen and the others had not joined the battle, they could tell that the puppet was going all out. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon had a bad feeling as well, and they hurriedly retreated. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t make it in time. At such a close distance, the bronze-masked puppet caught up to them in an instant and launched an attack. The true dragon vomited blood. The flame-wing beast naturally didn¡¯t manage to escape either, and its body took a heavy punch. The power of the punch was not light. It could even be said to be extremely terrifying. Qin Chen roared, ¡°Hit the bronze mask!¡± Only by shattering the bronze mask would they be able to stop this. Otherwise, even the flame-wing beast and the true dragon might not be able to suppress this terrifying puppet. The flame-wing beast immediately found an opportunity. Although the puppet was powerful, it was still an inanimate object. The flame-wing beast and the puppet were locked in a fierce battle. The former found an opportunity, and with a furious roar, it spat out an attack, which landed on the bronze mask. Crack! A crisp sound was heard, and everyone saw that this blow had probably shattered the bronze mask. God knows what was going on, but a wave of green energy burst out from the bronze mask, then entered the flame-wing beast¡¯s body. In an instant, the puppet launched a heavy punch at the head of the flame-wing beast. At the same time, the true dragon¡¯s claw slapped over and bombarded the puppet¡¯s abdomen, smacking it into the ground and creating a huge pit. How could this be? The puppet in the huge pit looked like it was about to be crippled. One should know that even the combined attacks of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast had not been able to damage the terrifying puppet just now. It seemed that the bronze mask was key. They had shattered the bronze mask, so the puppet had lost its source of power and become what it was now. At the thought of this, everyone was filled with fear. The bronze mask had just sent out a stream of energy that had entered the body of the flame-wing beast. Would the flame-wing beast be affected by the power of the bronze mask? The true dragon panted heavily as it looked at the flame-wing beast and discovered that the latter wasn¡¯t in a good state. The flame-wing beast looked as if it had gone berserk, and a terrifying light began to swirl within its eyes. Qin Chen sent his spiritual will over to check on the terrifying flame-wing beast. He wanted to know what had happened to it. The flame-wing beast still seemed to retain some rationality as it looked at Qin Chen. Then, it transformed into its human form and revealed a terrifying expression. Qin Chen used the Chaos Divine Ring to enter the other party¡¯s body and saw that the flame-wing beast¡¯s body had been invaded by the power from the bronze mask. If Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know about this, it wouldn¡¯t be long before the flame-wing beast¡¯s body was taken over by the power of the bronze mask. By then, even if they wanted to attack, they wouldn¡¯t have the chance. Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul left his body and entered the flame-wing beast¡¯s body with the Chaos Divine Ring. If the flame-wing beast was controlled, Qin Chen and his men would be annihilated! The power of the bronze mask was mysterious. The Chaos Divine Ring was very interested in the energy. Chapter 525 - 525 Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill 525 Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill This mysterious energy caused Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul to palpitate. It seemed to be able to target the divine soul. Following this, Qin Chen used the Chaos Divine Ring to exterminate the energy. With that, the Chaos Divine Ring released a golden divine light that immediately enveloped the mysterious energy. The reason why the puppet had become so powerful was probably related to the energy in the bronze mask. Qin Chen wanted to destroy the terrifying energy. The Chaos Divine Ring collided with the terrifying energy and a terrifying pressure was released. In an instant, everyone was shocked. They did not know what was going on. The true dragon was prepared. If the flame-wing beast was controlled, it would stop it and let everyone escape. ¡°What kind of power is this?¡± Qin Chen was extremely shocked. One should know that the Chaos Divine Ring was a heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon, yet it was still unable to suppress the energy. Then, the mysterious energy seemed to want to retaliate as it tried to break the seal of the Chaos Divine Ring. At this point, the flame-wing beast no longer had the strength to help Qin Chen. It could only watch on as Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul and a terrifying divine ring fought against the mysterious energy. All of a sudden, the mysterious energy seemed to have discovered that the one who could control the divine ring¡¯s attack was Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul. It immediately turned into a ball of light and spread out, wanting to destroy Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul first. Qin Chen did not expect that the mysterious energy seemed to have consciousness. Otherwise, it would not have thought of destroying his Jiuying divine soul. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen finally managed to control the mysterious energy after expending a huge effort. The Chaos Divine Ring began to absorb the mysterious energy. After an unknown amount of time, the mysterious energy was finally gone. The flame-wing beast was filled with lingering fear. It had been so close to being controlled by the mysterious energy. At that time, it would probably become an existence similar to that puppet. When it thought of this, it was filled with fear. It had not expected Qin Chen to possess such a terrifying item as the Chaos Divine Ring. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen¡¯s intervention, the outcome of the flame-wing beast would have been very difficult to predict. The flame-wing beast felt extremely grateful and cupped its hands at Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul returned to his body and fell into a deep sleep. Activating the Chaos Divine Ring required one to pay a huge price in terms of soul power. Qin Chen took out some leaves from the ancient tree of life and let everyone refine them. The flame-wing beast was shocked. To think Qin Chen could take out so many of these treasures. What was his background? Qin Chen had plucked many leaves and branches from the ancient tree of life. If they wanted to continue exploring the palace, they had to be at their peak. Therefore, he took the leaves out for everyone to refine and recover from their injuries. When everyone¡¯s injuries had recovered, they once again walked deeper into the huge palace. Soon after, Qin Chen and the rest discovered a black stone placed on an altar. The black stone was exuding a deathly aura, which shocked everyone. As Qin Chen got closer, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity remnant has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] This altar had a powerful divinity remnant? Qin Chen was overjoyed. After all, he could check in to any place with powerful divinity. He then muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you have successfully checked in at the Death Saint Stone and received the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill!] [Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill: Able to make the user¡¯s physical body terrifying. It is a sacred medicine for physical body cultivators. It can also increase the user¡¯s comprehension of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. It was indeed a treasure. Although he could not use the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill for the time being, it would most definitely come in handy one day. A round pill appeared in his hand, emitting an indescribable fluctuation. Then, he put the Heaven and Earth Nine Cauldrons pill away. As for the Death Saint Stone, it must have something to do with the demon king in the tomb. Perhaps the demon king had moved it here himself. To Qin Chen, it was best to stay far away from this thing. There were powerful remnants of divinity on it, which could make Qin Chen perish. Qin Chen then led everyone out of the place. Before leaving, the flame-wing beast took a few more glances at the Death Saint Stone. The terrifying aura felt familiar, but it couldn¡¯t recall anything. Then, it quickly caught up with Qin Chen and the others. Now that Qin Chen had recovered, plus the fact he was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, as long as he did not encounter a danger that was too terrifying, his life should be safe. However, when Qin Chen and the others arrived at the depths of the huge palace, he suddenly felt a fatal threat. The feeling was too terrifying. Not only Qin Chen, but everyone else also felt it. Under such circumstances, there might be something terrifying ahead. As Qin Chen and the others walked over, they were getting closer to the terrifying danger. Then, before Qin Chen and the others could react, a figure appeared and charged over. ¡°Shit!¡± The moment Qin Chen discovered the figure, he immediately used the Moving Secret Technique and shattered the void. However, his speed was far inferior to the figure¡¯s speed. In an instant, Qin Chen was caught up. Following this, Qin Chen felt as if his back was hit by a huge mountain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness. ¡°Elder King!¡± ¡°Get him!¡± He only heard two vague sentences before he passed out. What was happening? Qin Chen felt as if his internal organs were about to be torn apart. He immediately took out a few leaves from the ancient tree of life from his storage ring and swallowed them, and only then did he feel much better. The leaves of the ancient tree of life carried a huge amount of vitality and entered Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was only at this moment that Qin Chen had the chance to take a look at his surroundings. He was actually in a pile of bones. There were countless white bones under him. His heart was extremely cold. Then, Qin Chen discovered that there was a figure not far in front of him. The figure did not seem to realize that he was still alive. After all, Qin Chen was only a God-realm cultivator. Logically speaking, he should have long died. Chapter 526 - 526 Imposter 526 Imposter At this moment, Qin Chen felt that his body could not take it anymore. However, he had no choice but to endure it. Otherwise, he might really die here. Where was he? What about the others? With these questions in mind, Qin Chen turned his gaze to the figure not far in front of him. It was this fellow who had brought him here. Qin Chen had never thought that he would be abducted by someone one day. It was fortunate that the terrifying figure hadn¡¯t attacked him ruthlessly. Otherwise, even if he had the leaves of the ancient tree of life, they would not have been able to save him in time. Finally, after a short while, Qin Chen looked at the figure not far away and saw that it had moved. Then, in a split second, the other party was gone. Even Qin Chen did not know where that fellow had gone to. When Qin Chen stood up and looked around, he realized that the other party was nowhere to be seen and was thus certain that it had left. As for where the other party had gone, Qin Chen certainly did not know. He had to take this opportunity to leave this place and find the true dragon and the others. Otherwise, when that terrifying existence returned and found out that his body was missing, it would definitely come after him. By that time, if Qin Chen was not with the others, there was a high possibility that he would be killed directly. Therefore, Qin Chen divided that he had to find everyone first. At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly heard a terrifying fluctuation. What was going on? His current condition was extremely bad. His face was deathly pale and he looked like he was about to die. Fortunately, the leaves from the ancient tree of life were constantly injecting vitality into his injured body, allowing him to slowly recover and withstand the effects of the previous attack. Otherwise, he would not have been able to continue. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen finally arrived at the place where the battle had erupted. He saw the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. They were already injured, but they were still tenaciously fighting against the terrifying figure. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and big scorpion were unwilling to be outdone either. Although they couldn¡¯t rush up to fight, they could still attack from a long distance. In addition to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon¡¯s desperate counterattacks, they were finally able to stall the terrifying figure. Everyone only had one goal in mind: Whether Qin Chen was dead or alive, they had to find him. In their eyes, Qin Chen was someone who was extremely lucky. Even if he was captured, he should still be able to survive. Perhaps he was waiting for their rescue. Yet, no matter how hard they searched the place, they could not find Qin Chen. They had finally found out where the terrifying figure was hiding after God knows how long. As long as they could find the terrifying existence, they would naturally be able to follow the clues and find Qin Chen. However, the situation didn¡¯t look good now. They had fallen into a disadvantage since the beginning of the battle. The unknown figure was simply too terrifying. Even with the combined attacks of the true dragon and the others, they couldn¡¯t suppress the other party at all. Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt some unwillingness. Could it be that the Elder King couldn¡¯t be saved? The big scorpion roared angrily and charged over crazily, wanting to deal with the terrifying figure. He did not expect the figure to be so powerful. In the end, he was hit by the aftershock of the battle and spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward. If this continued, it was possible that everyone would be dead before the Elder King was rescued. However, when everyone was ready to go all out, they realized that the terrifying figure seemed to be preparing to escape. Once again, it disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°Roar!¡± The true dragon let out a furious roar that shook the nine Heavens. It wanted to make the terrifying figure stay, but it couldn¡¯t. They could only unwillingly watch it disappear, still clueless as to where the Elder King was. But this was fine too. Qin Chen laughed. Now that the terrifying figure had left, it would definitely find his body gone when it returned. At that time, it might chase after them. Although Qin Chen did not know what the terrifying figure wanted to do with his body, he had to lead the group away. Just as Qin Chen took the initiative to step forward, he suddenly stopped. That was because another Qin Chen had appeared! The other party looked exactly the same as Qin Chen. Even the aura fluctuations on his body were very similar! What was going on? Qin Chen was about to go crazy. He had never thought that a clone of himself would appear. Could it be the work of that terrifying figure? But what was the point of doing this? Qin Chen watched as his imposter mingled with the true dragon and the others, and suddenly felt like he was an extra. The imposter¡¯s appearance was very similar to Qin Chen, so no one had any suspicions. Then, the imposter led everyone away, continuing to head deeper into the palace. At this moment, the others realized that they seemed to have arrived in another world where there was everything, except that Qin Chen had disappeared. Qin Chen also realized that his imposter had disappeared. What was going on? Where was the imposter? To think his imposter had disappeared. Was the other party¡¯s purpose to attract everyone here? Since that was the case, it meant that this place was definitely not ordinary. It was highly possible that there were other dangers in this place. The scene that he saw just now shocked Qin Chen quite a bit. His injuries were almost fully recovered at this point. When Qin Chen walked to the side, he realized that there was definitely something wrong with this place. This was because he had only just gone a short distance away when he discovered some tentacle-like vines quietly approaching the true dragon and the others. One must know that these were no ordinary things. Qin Chen suddenly felt as if he could not breathe. He watched as the crowd continued to move forward in search of his imposter. They were falling into the trap step by step. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before everyone would be completely trapped inside. Thinking of this, Qin Chen quietly followed the group. Chapter 527 - 527 Discovered 527 Discovered The current Qin Chen could only slowly follow the crowd. Otherwise, it was possible that everyone would die unknowingly. ¡°Where¡¯s the Elder King?¡± The big scorpion hissed. In his opinion, the sudden disappearance of the Elder King meant that the latter must have hidden somewhere. At this point, they still did not know where Elder King had gone. ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Elder King here just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?¡± The true dragon¡¯s eyes were alert. It could sense that there was something very wrong with this place. It had long felt this uncomfortable feeling. Unfortunately, before it could react, the Elder King had already disappeared. God knows where the Elder King was, and it was very likely that they had already fallen into a trap. Everyone moved forward carefully, seemingly having noticed that something was wrong. All of a sudden, they encountered something terrifying. A terrifying fluctuation suddenly burst out and a vine lashed out at the crowd. The speed of this vine was extremely fast, and its attack even shattered the void. It was terrifying! It seemed to be able to crush an ancient planet. Such a terrifying attack caused everyone¡¯s expression to change abruptly. One had to know that this attack was not easy to take. In an instant, everyone was on the verge of collapse. They were swept away by the attack, and everyone was sent flying. They couldn¡¯t even stop. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others all spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°The Elder King shouldn¡¯t have disappeared. We must have been deceived by someone.¡± The true dragon was the first to come to its senses. It had never thought that even it would be deceived. At this moment, everyone¡¯s mind stirred and they saw the vine slowly appear again. The vine immediately transformed into Qin Chen¡¯s face. Instantly, everyone¡¯s hearts were in shock. They didn¡¯t expect that the Elder King who had lured them here was a fake! What about the true Elder King? ¡°Where is the Elder King?¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue said through gritted teeth. If the vine was an imposter of the Elder King, then could the real Elder King have already met with a mishap? They had not seen Qin Chen for a long time and were clueless as to his whereabouts now. The vine attacked the crowd again. One had to know that the vine was extremely terrifying. Its strength was already comparable to the God Emperor realm. Not even the flame-wing beast or the true dragon was a match for the vine. But now, for Qin Chen, they went all out. If they wanted to find Qin Chen, they had to overcome this obstacle in front of them. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to find Qin Chen, but they would also die here. This place was obviously a trap to lure them in and kill them. The crowd was extremely afraid of the terrifying vine. It was not something they had faced before. Rather, it was something even more terrifying. The fact that the vine could change its appearance into Qin Chen¡¯s meant that its spiritual wisdom was not low. The vine knew that everyone was looking for Qin Chen. More and more vines surrounded them. The vines everywhere were like a green tide, coming toward the crowd with a terrifying pressure. If this continued, they would die without a burial place. Thinking of this, the flame-wing beast sent a voice transmission to the true dragon, and the two attacked the green tide at the same time. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t just let everyone die like this. With that, a terrifying fluctuation burst out. The green vines whipped toward the crowd, wanting to kill them here. Although the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were both God Emperor-realm experts, the vines were simply too terrifying for them to withstand. Hence, they quickly spat out blood and were forced back. The big scorpion was unwilling to give up. They didn¡¯t even know if Elder King was dead or alive. How could they fall here? If the Elder King was here, they would probably not be in such a predicament. At the thought of this, everyone sighed in their hearts. Unfortunately, as time passed, the vines got closer and closer. Once the vines could annihilate them, they would probably lose all hope of escaping. But up until now, not many vines had launched attacks. They seemed to be toying with them. The crowd had never thought that things would turn out like this. The true dragon looked at the vines with wariness in its eyes. If there were only the flame-wing beast and the true dragon around, they would have a chance of breaking out. It was just that the big scorpion and the others were around as well. They could only keep attacking the terrifying vines. Otherwise, they might die. The Elder King was nowhere to be found. They couldn¡¯t fall here. Meanwhile, Qin Chen was observing in the dark. He could tell that the terrifying vines seemed to have consciousness. In other words, every vine was an independent entity. Moreover, their strength was already comparable to the God Emperor realm. Otherwise, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon would have been able to deal with the vines. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were extremely calm. He knew that now was not the best time to make a move. He had to wait a little longer before he made his move. Otherwise, there was a possibility that he would be finished off by the other party. For now, the flame-wing beast, true dragon, and the others weren¡¯t at the end of their rope yet. Qin Chen still had enough time to find a way to deal with these vines. Otherwise, even he would not know how to save everyone. If the vines were to attack him now, Qin Chen would probably be helpless. Qin Chen used his spiritual will and began to explore the front. With that, countless vines in front instantly turned to look at his position. ¡°Shit! I¡¯ve been discovered!¡± At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will had been exposed. With no other choice, Qin Chen cut off his connection with his spiritual will. This way, he could still delay for a while. Since the vines knew how to transform into Qin Chen¡¯s appearance to attract the crowd, it showed that their spiritual wisdom was not low. As such, the moment they sensed Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual sense, regardless of whether they found him or not, they knew that there must be someone else in this place. In other words, the vines had set up a trap since the beginning. They were waiting for Qin Chen to appear. Qin Chen had originally been hiding in the dark. Chapter 528 - 528 Terrifying Vines 528 Terrifying Vines Unexpectedly, he had been discovered. The only thing Qin Chen could do now was to hide. Otherwise, the vines could destroy him in minutes. Not long after that, the vines began to move violently. The terrifying vines had never thought that they would actually forget about Qin Chen. One must know that once Qin Chen made a move, he would make a big one. But for now, even if Qin Chen wanted to play big, he would not have the chance. This was because the tide-like vines would never give him this chance. They wanted to capture Qin Chen in one fell swoop. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others noticed that the terrifying vines didn¡¯t immediately attack, but stopped instead. In everyone¡¯s eyes, these vines were just toying with them. Qin Chen had also discovered that these traps were prepared for him. However, he was unafraid. If he couldn¡¯t do it in the open, he could do it in the dark. As long as he could create an opportunity for the flame-wing beast and the others to take advantage of the vines¡¯ weak points, they would have a higher chance of escaping. Otherwise, they would be trapped here forever. When their power was exhausted, it would be the time of their deaths. The reason why the vines attacked the true dragon and the others was that they wanted to absorb nutrients from the corpses of these divine beasts, fierce beasts, and humans to make themselves stronger. At this moment, the true dragon and the others went all out. Terrifying auras emerged from their bodies as they each launched their most powerful attacks. As long as they could kill a way out, they would be able to leave. Instantly, the void shattered layer by layer. It made people¡¯s hearts tremble. At this moment, Qin Chen finally found an opportunity. He activated the Green Lotus Demonic Flame at the terrifying vines and a green lotus bloomed under his feet. The crowd also saw the familiar flame. That was¡­! ¡°Elder King!¡± The big scorpion and the others did not expect the Elder King to be standing right in front of them. The terrifying vines were being kept busy. They couldn¡¯t resist the attacks easily at the moment, so they simply had no time to deal with Qin Chen. The terrifying fluctuation instantly burned the void! Many of the vines were burned by Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others were unwilling to be outdone, and they instantly launched their attacks as well. Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and poured all his divine power into it. In an instant, it became extremely terrifying. His Chaotic Divine Body was operating at its maximum! With a loud bang, the sword slashed down! The endless emperor¡¯s might suppressed the front. As for the flame-winged beast, it spat out a blast of energy that struck the vines. The true dragon spat out the innate dragon flame from its belly. The terrifying dragon flame turned into a fire dragon and swept over, burning many vines. The countless vines were now surrounded by a sea of fire. At the same time, the big scorpion and the rest were still launching attacks, trying to cut a path out of the tide of vines. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t expect that the vines were like maggots attached to bones. The latter simply wouldn¡¯t move aside no matter what. If this continued, didn¡¯t it mean that these vines would circle around the increasing flames and try to kill everyone? Qin Chen had a bad premonition. These vines were like a tide. If the sea of fire wanted to set them on fire, it might take a few days and nights. And now, everyone was running out of time. The true dragon let out a furious roar and swiped at the vines with its claws. Facing the mountain-like dragon claw attack, the vines did not dodge. How terrifying was this?! The dragon claw and the vine collided. The true dragon was forced to take a few steps back. Even it was unable to suppress the recoil. In an instant, the flame-wing beast also attacked. If they wanted to escape, they had to break through the vines blocking their way. Otherwise, when the vines counterattacked, Qin Chen and the others would be in deep trouble. Everyone immediately went all out and used all their strength to bombard the vines. They did not know what was with the vines. To think the latter had already reached the most terrifying stage. Just the vines¡¯ defensive power alone was stronger than theirs. With everyone¡¯s current attacks, they could do nothing to these vines. After an unknown period, the vines transformed into an even more terrifying state. Even the flames were unable to leave a burn on it. Qin Chen exploded with all his strength. If this continued, he was afraid that everyone would not be able to hold on. Everyone released all their power as well. The countless terrifying vines were like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Before the crowd could react, they were sent flying. At this point, the battle finally stopped. Qin Chen, the flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others were all injured. Almost all of them were severely injured. The tide-like vines slowly crawled over, wanting to completely devour everyone. If they were to succeed, even if Qin Chen and the others had heaven-defying means, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. Currently, they had to take advantage of the time to not let the terrifying vines cover their bodies. Everyone was planning to escape. Otherwise, there was a possibility of death. Qin Chen took out the branches of the ancient tree of life and threw them to the crowd. As long as they could refine the branches, they should be able to recover to their peak state quickly. At that time, they could try to break out of the encirclement again. Right now, everyone was still in the middle of it. Qin Chen was the only one on the outside. Many of the vines had already slowly recovered. It wouldn¡¯t be long before they would arrive. Qin Chen was under great pressure. If he was inside the encirclement too, they could at least look out for each other. However, there was nothing he could do now. He could only fight against the countless terrifying vines on the outside by himself. Qin Chen activated his acupoints to the extreme. Only by doing so could fight against his opponent. Then, a green lotus appeared under Qin Chen¡¯s feet again, and a terrifying flame emerged continuously. Chapter 529 - 529 Suppressed 529 Suppressed At this moment, Qin Chen had already pushed his strength to the limit. He had to stop the other party. If he lost, the rest of the team would probably be killed by the powerful vines. Therefore, the burden on Qin Chen¡¯s shoulders was extremely heavy. Qin Chen erupted once again. The innate sword embryo in his hand was filled with all the divine power in his body, and a terrifying emperor¡¯s might burst out and spread forward. The countless vines were not to be trifled with either. They immediately attacked Qin Chen, wanting to kill him directly. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the terrifying flames on Qin Chen¡¯s body were something they could not approach. Once they got close to the Green Lotus Demonic Flame on his body, a part of them would be burned. Such a price was clearly unacceptable to the vines that had consciousness. As he thought of this, Qin Chen unleashed his strength. The innate sword embryo in his hand caused the heavens to tremble, wanting to destroy everyone. Qin Chen decided that no matter what, he had to block these vines. ¡°Hurry up!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The big scorpion and the rest had already finished refining the branches from the ancient tree of life. There was only one thing left to do, and that was to break out of the encirclement. The vines had not fully awakened yet, or else Qin Chen would not have been able to resist them. Qin Chen charged madly at the many vines in front of him, but only a few of the vines lashed at him. With the Green Lotus Demonic Flame, Qin Chen was not afraid of these terrifying vines at all. On the contrary, almost all of the vines had consciousness, which meant that they were aware that they would have to pay a considerable price if they wanted to go on like this. Some of the vines would be destined to disappear from this world. But suddenly, the vines began to lash out. No one would have thought that the terrifying vines, which had been avoiding the Green Lotus Demonic Flame on Qin Chen¡¯s body, would now do the opposite. Some of them seemed to be forcibly controlled as they struck straight at Qin Chen. Qin Chen also noticed that the vines seemed to have transformed into his appearance again and were coming at him. Qin Chen seemed to be affected and did not dare to make a move. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was struck by the vine. He spat out a mouthful of blood. It was also at this time that everyone finally charged out. They had not expected this place to be so strange. Then, Qin Chen saw that the true dragon and the others had finally torn apart the vines that were trapping them. ¡°Elder King!¡± It was only now that the big scorpion dared to believe that the current Elder King was the real deal. But now, the only thing they could do now was to escape with the Elder King. If they were surrounded by these vines again, it would not be so easy to escape. It was very likely that they would just die. At the thought of this, everyone brought Qin Chen and tore through the void, not daring to stay here for a moment. The unknown vines made everyone¡¯s heart palpitate endlessly. These things were truly too terrifying. Even the God Emperor-realm flame-wing beast and true dragon were no match for them. Thinking of this, everyone felt helpless. After all, if they were to encounter the vines alone, it would be a disaster. Just as Qin Chen and the rest escaped through the way they had come, they realized that they had once again encountered that terrifying figure. The other party was the expert who had knocked Qin Chen out. However, it didn¡¯t kill Qin Chen but let him escape instead. Now that it had found Qin Chen, it probably wanted to attack everyone again. Even though the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were both extremely exhausted and still extremely weak, if they were to fall, even Qin Chen would not be able to hold on. After all, this terrifying figure had easily beaten everyone up before. Who knew its mysterious origins? If this terrifying figure were to go all out, it was very likely that not even the flame-wing beast or the true dragon would be able to stop it. As for Qin Chen, he also realized that something was wrong. To think he had been targeted by that terrifying figure again. He had already been abducted by the terrifying figure before. At that time, he had been on the verge of death. One could imagine how terrifying this terrifying figure was. Even if Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, it was basically impossible for him to defend himself against the attack of the terrifying figure. If he were to be targeted by this figure again, it would not be easy for him to escape. Rather, he might even be killed on the spot. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that this terrifying figure would catch up to them again. As soon as the flame-wing beast and true dragon saw the terrifying figure, they started speeding up the recovery of their strength. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have much chance of winning against such a terrifying expert. The big scorpion and the others were also extremely afraid. After all, even the Elder King was unable to put up any resistance against the terrifying figure. And now, this terrifying figure was right in front of them. Everyone was so scared that they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe. If they were to make a move now, they would most likely be at a disadvantage. After all, Qin Chen and the others hadn¡¯t had enough time to sit down and suppress their injuries. Qin Chen looked at this fellow and threw more branches of the ancient tree of life to the crowd. He did not expect that the terrifying human figure would be attracted by the branches. Before Qin Chen could distribute the branches in his hand to the crowd, he sensed that the figure had made a move. The other party could also sense that the branches of the ancient tree of life contained a strong vitality. That was why it wanted it. However, how could Qin Chen allow the branches of the ancient tree of life to fall easily into the other party¡¯s hands? This was just Qin Chen¡¯s cover-up. He was the only cultivator in the world who had the branches of the ancient tree of life, and he did not want to give them to anyone else. The figure wanted to go and snatch the countless parts of the ancient tree of life that Qin Chen had. But no matter what, Qin Chen refused to hand over the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life that he had. It didn¡¯t take long for him to be suppressed by the terrifying figure. Chapter 530 - 530 Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal 530 Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal It didn¡¯t matter how much Qin Chen resisted. The terrifying figure¡¯s attack was simply not something he could resist. Qin Chen wanted to become stronger, but he didn¡¯t have enough time. He was being forced to rush through every step forward. And now, Qin Chen finally realized how horrifying these terrifying existences would be to him. At this moment, he had already been suppressed. He had not expected it to be so quick. The branches from the ancient tree of life on Qin Chen were the targets of the terrifying figure. It was obvious that the other party had a high level of spiritual wisdom. Unfortunately for the terrifying figure, it had appeared out of nowhere and didn¡¯t get anything. Qin Chen and the rest had long identified the branches of the ancient tree of life as precious treasures. One could only imagine how mad they had been to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. Qin Chen laughed. No matter what, he didn¡¯t want to be caught. Even if he were to meet other experts, Qin Chen was unwilling to take out the branches of the ancient tree of life. After all, he had risked his life to obtain the ancient tree of life¡¯s branches. The terrifying figure did not know that. This suppression came very quickly. Before Qin Chen and the others could even react, they were suppressed. Their bodies were engulfed by a terrifying aura and pressure. The aura was simply too terrifying. Otherwise, it would not have been able to suppress Qin Chen and the others. In the eyes of Qin Chen and the others, the reason they were captured was very simple: They were weak. They were simply too weak. But in the end, although the terrifying figure had made a move, it still didn¡¯t hurt Qin Chen and the others. Suddenly, Qin Chen felt that he was no longer where he was. In the blink of an eye, he had already entered another world. Upon realizing this, he smiled bitterly. He had been separated from the crowd once again. That being said, he was currently no longer afraid of that terrifying figure. Qin Chen realized that he was lying in the same place as last time. It was because he was lying here that he felt a terrifying fluctuation. Then, he saw the terrifying figure guarding him. This time, the other party was very careful and guarded the exit. With this, as long as Qin Chen wanted to go out, he would be discovered. But now, the fluctuations of that terrifying figure could only be considered ordinary. This was because Qin Chen felt a completely different fluctuation that was extremely terrifying. As long as he used his heart to sense, he could find some clues. ¡°Where is it?¡± Qin Chen stood up and walked away. There were countless bones on the ground, and it was unknown how long the owners of these bones had been dead. Qin Chen could not recognize them at all from their size. That terrifying figure probably only wanted the branches from the ancient tree of life in Qin Chen¡¯s possession. However, since Qin Chen did not take them out, it could only lock him up. The true dragon and the others should be fine now. In other words, as long as Qin Chen slowly searched for them, there would not be any problems. At the very least, the true dragon and the others would not be entangled by the terrifying vines. Qin Chen walked to the side step by step and saw some other things here. It was a stone floating in the air. It looked off. As Qin Chen slowly approached, he realized that the fluctuations were coming from the stone. Could there be remnants of divinity here? The corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth lifted slightly. He walked to the side of the stone and placed his palm on it. In an instant, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind! [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. There were indeed remnants of divinity in this place. In that case, it meant that he could check in here. He wondered what treasures he would get from checking in here. Qin Chen was quite excited as he said in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully signed in to the Myriad Laws Divine Stone. You¡¯ve received the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal!] [Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal: A supreme treasure left behind by the Nether Realm Master, who was as powerful as an ancient great emperor. It contains the dark nether divine power and is extremely terrifying. Those with outstanding talent can rely on the Dark Nether Seal to fight against others of a higher realm. It¡¯s best not to come into direct contact with the mysterious dark nether power that it¡¯s emitting. Otherwise, it will enter one¡¯s body and slowly freeze it.] Hearing this, Qin Chen was extremely surprised. What was a surprise? This was a f*cking surprise! Qin Chen did not expect to be able to get a treasure similar to an extreme emperor weapon just by checking in. With this, he had another weapon besides the innate sword embryo. If he used it in battle, he wondered if he could restrain that terrifying figure. Qin Chen wanted to suppress the other party because the terrifying figure was extremely powerful. To think the other party had locked him up here, making it impossible for him to escape. Previously, Qin Chen had almost been killed by the terrifying figure. He would never forget this debt. Following this, he saw a terrifying seal appear on his hand. There seemed to be birds, beasts, insects, and fish carved on the seal. As long as he injected his divine power into it, he could activate the treasure. Qin Chen immediately refined the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. This way, he could fight. As long as he could take care of the other party, there would be nothing else to fear. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was ready to make a move. The Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in his hand seemed to be very eager for a battle. God knows how many years it had been since it had been last used. Qin Chen gripped the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal and walked out step by step. He wanted to see if he could fight against that terrifying figure. When the innate sword embryo entered the Divine Illusionary Realm, its power had been greatly suppressed. After all, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor wasn¡¯t an ancient great emperor of this world. However, the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in Qin Chen¡¯s hands was different. This was a supreme treasure left behind by the Divine Illusionary Realm¡¯s Nether Realm Master, an expert comparable to the ancient great emperors. If he could not deal with the terrifying figure with the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal alone, Qin Chen could only give up and try to find other ways to do so. As he thought of this, Qin Chen immediately made his move. Chapter 531 - 531 Great Battle 531 Great Battle Every appearance of the terrifying figure was like a huge rock pressing down on Qin Chen. If he had a chance to get rid of the other party, he would be very willing to do so. However, even with the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, Qin Chen might not be able to withstand the opponent¡¯s attack. After all, the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal was a magic item left behind by the Nether Realm Master. It was extremely powerful. Yet, Qin Chen was too weak. He only had the combat strength of the God realm. If he tried to activate the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, he probably couldn¡¯t release a very powerful force. Still, Qin Chen laughed. With a furious roar, he poured all of his power into the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in his hand. In an instant, his aura became extremely terrifying. Currently, he did not have much confidence in defeating the terrifying figure with the help of the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. After all, his realm was far inferior to the terrifying figure. At this moment, Qin Chen had already activated the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. The terrifying figure seemed to be extremely shocked. It did not know what the terrifying magic item in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was. To think that the item was so terrifying that it was shocked. Immediately after, Qin Chen attacked ruthlessly, wanting to destroy the other party. Unexpectedly, the terrifying figure took a step back. It could sense a terrifying aura from the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. It had never sensed such a terrifying aura before. What was that? How could it emit such terrifying energy waves? Before the other party could react, Qin Chen activated the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. With that, the terrifying Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal seemed to have awakened. Its power in the Divine Illusionary Realm had already reached an incomparably terrifying stage. Qin Chen was about to go berserk. Perhaps only such a powerful force could resist the terrifying figure. He could not think of any other way to fight against the other party. One should know that this was the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, the treasure of the Nether Realm Master who was comparable to the ancient great emperors in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Such a terrifying magic item naturally had terrifying power. More and more power fluctuations hit the void directly and annihilated it! It was as if the flying dust had returned to silence! The terrifying figure unleashed its full strength as well. It did not know how Qin Chen could become so terrifying all of a sudden, but even so, it would not allow the latter to defeat it. The terrifying figure¡¯s energy fluctuations covered the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal above its head. Even Qin Chen did not expect the other party to have such terrifying power. For a moment, his Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal couldn¡¯t withstand the opponent¡¯s attack. To think the terrifying attack reached such a terrifying realm. This terrifying fluctuation exploded not far from the two. Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him, so he would not easily die. As for the terrifying figure, it was in a more miserable state. Its body seemed to be on the verge of splitting open. Qin Chen could not stop laughing. Blood flowed out of his mouth, but he did not care. Wasn¡¯t it just the terrifying figure? The current Qin Chen was already capable of injuring the other party. By right, he should not have been able to hurt the other party. Unfortunately, the terrifying figure had not been able to react in time and was caught off guard. In addition, the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal was truly terrifying. The divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body had been completely drained. Otherwise, the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal would not have been able to unleash such terrifying power and injure the terrifying figure. ¡°Roar!¡± The terrifying figure seemed to have been enraged. In its opinion, it was a great humiliation for a God-realm human cultivator to be able to hurt it! In an instant, the terrifying figure once again emitted a terrifying fluctuation. At this moment, the true dragon and the others suddenly appeared. The flame-wing beast directly launched an attack at the terrifying figure. When Qin Chen had activated the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, they had already been alarmed. There was no way to conceal such a terrifying fluctuation. That was why they were able to find Qin Chen so quickly. They were indeed right on time because Qin Chen was almost out of strength. If he were to take another blow from the terrifying figure, even God would not be able to save him. When the terrifying figure saw that the true dragon and the others had arrived by following the clues, it let out a furious roar. It didn¡¯t expect the other party to manage to chase after it. It let out a breath and raised its attack to the peak. With that, a terrifying lightning-like cobweb descended, viciously striking the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. In his opinion, these people were destined to die. It wanted to immediately exterminate them all. At the thought of this, the terrifying figure launched a terrifying attack on everyone. This time, not just the true dragon and the flame-wing beast would be severely injured. Even the big scorpion and the others could not escape. Qin Chen and the others wondered how the attack could be so terrifying. It seemed that this terrifying figure had been hiding its strength all along. It had only gone all out now to annihilate Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, Qin Chen was ready to go all out. He devoured and refined the five-colored glass flower in his storage ring. Terrifying energy surged in his body, almost to the point that his meridians could not hold it. The only thing Qin Chen could do now was to stand up and fight against the terrifying figure. If he didn¡¯t do so, it was very likely that they would all be annihilated by the other party. Following this, Qin Chen exploded with power! The terrifying Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal once again released a monstrous pressure as if it wanted to shatter the world. The spiritual energy of the entire world surged, becoming extremely terrifying. Huge waves seem to be crashing in everyone¡¯s heart. Even the terrifying figure¡¯s heart was in turmoil at this moment. It had never thought that the God-realm human cultivator could unleash such a terrifying attack. Even he had never seen such a monster. Qin Chen was only a God-realm expert, so how could he activate the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal time and time again? The bright moon hung high in the sky as the dark nether power radiated. An extremely terrifying seal pressed down on the mysterious figure! At this critical moment, the mysterious figure disappeared. Chapter 532 - 532 Breaking Through to Level 8 of the God Realm 532 Breaking Through to Level 8 of the God Realm With that, Qin Chen¡¯s attack landed on nothing, causing his heart to be filled with excitement. To think the terrifying figure had disappeared. How was this possible? The terrifying figure wanted to block Qin Chen¡¯s attack. It could indeed withstand the power of the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, but it chose to disappear instead. This meant that Qin Chen had already gained some weight in its eyes. At the very least, the terrifying figure wouldn¡¯t want to attack Qin Chen now. After all, the price it had to pay wasn¡¯t worth it. At this point, Qin Chen had already refined the five-colored glass flower. He could feel that the terrifying power in his body had reached a peak, almost as if it wanted to break through his body. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. Where did that terrifying figure go? They had thought that the other party would not let them off the hook and would kill them all. They had never expected this. To think he had disappeared! Furthermore, Qin Chen¡¯s aura was now fluctuating chaotically. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t be blamed though. After all, his aura was already very erratic. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect the five-colored glass flower to be so powerful, so much so that it was about to drive him mad. He refined the flower¡¯s medicinal power, wanting to make his body more terrifying. Although Qin Chen was about to face a terrifying tribulation again, he was not the least bit afraid. He wanted to make use of this opportunity to break through and see if he would attract the heavenly tribulation of the Divine Illusionary Realm. Logically speaking, the heavenly tribulation of the Divine Illusionary Realm would not allow a genius like Qin Chen to become stronger as well. It was destined that a terrifying heavenly tribulation would descend. This was the first time Qin Chen had broken through in the Divine Illusionary Realm. He wondered if the terrifying power could allow him to become even stronger. He wanted to challenge the heavenly tribulation of the Divine Illusionary Realm. Unfortunately, even though Qin Chen had been continuously refining the medicinal power in his body, there was still an unknown amount of power that was trying to burst his meridians. He went berserk. Everyone felt that Qin Chen seemed to have gone mad. His eyes were already red, but he was still trying to break through. Only by becoming more powerful could they have a chance of surviving. This time, the terrifying figure did not kill Qin Chen, but the former was well aware that a weakling like the latter would have died a thousand deaths if not for his treasures. At that point, Qin Chen¡¯s Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor automatically started to protect its owner. It wanted to absorb the excess medicinal power in his body. One must know that the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor had long gained spiritual wisdom and could protect its owner. Qin Chen had never thought that the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor would have such power. He was quite surprised. That being said, Qin Chen did need the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to absorb the excess medicinal energy in his body. Otherwise, the five-colored glass flower might burst his meridians. Following this, Qin Chen began to refine it again. With the help of the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he was able to slowly recover from his berserk state. Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others were shocked. To think Qin Chen was willing to go to such lengths. After waiting for Qin Chen to completely recover, the crowd finally relaxed. Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation prowess soared. After all, the five-colored glass flower could be considered a supreme treasure. He continued to cultivate, wanting to try to break through in the Divine Illusionary Realm. He wanted to see if the Heavenly Dao would still attack him. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao still sent down a heavenly tribulation on him! At this point, Qin Chen had already stepped into level 8 of the God realm. The dark clouds in the sky enlarged, seemingly having condensed into a terrifying mass of energy. It did not take too long for the tribulation to produce astonishing pressure. Everyone thus understood that Qin Chen wanted to use this opportunity to break through. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast healed their injuries while protecting Qin Chen. God knows if that terrifying figure would suddenly come back and kill them. Therefore, Qin Chen and the rest could only wait and see if the terrifying figure would choose to attack. Fortunately, while the heavenly tribulation brewed, that powerful figure did not appear. Qin Chen began to refine the medicinal power of the five-colored glass flower in his body. This was the first time he had refined such a powerful supreme treasure after refining so many terrifying supreme treasures. He tried to improve his cultivation. But now, the heavenly tribulation had already arrived. It condensed in the sky and seemed about to destroy the earth. Countless streams of light flowed out, and they were actually different types of lightning. It was clearly not an easy task to break through in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Qin Chen continued trying to break through. The heavenly tribulation was way too terrifying. It was so terrifyingly powerful that Qin Chen almost couldn¡¯t bear it. Fortunately, Qin Chen had many supreme treasures on him, so it should not be a problem for him to survive the tribulation. Qin Chen activated the innate sword embryo. He held the sword in one hand and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in the other. Looking at the heavenly tribulation from above the nine Heavens, Qin Chen smiled. The fluctuations of the heavenly tribulation did not exceed his expectations. Then, the tribulation released his power, which was about to explode. The power was quite terrifying. After all, the heavenly tribulation was targeted at cultivators like Qin Chen. The dark clouds in the sky poured down like a long river. Countless thunderbolts washed over Qin Chen¡¯s body, and he slowly smiled. ¡°Good, come!¡± Following this, Qin Chen unleashed his power. He had poured an unknown amount of divine power into the innate sword embryo, reaching an indescribable realm. Soon after, the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal was also activated. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. The terrifying power still surprised him a little. Under the heavenly tribulation, Qin Chen was still able to produce such fluctuations. It had already greatly exceeded the heavenly tribulation¡¯s expectations. Then, the innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in Qin Chen¡¯s hands launched terrifying attacks that collided with the pouring thunderbolts. Qin Chen once again injected his divine power into the two supreme treasures. Chapter 533 - 533 Inner Demon 533 Inner Demon In an instant, this terrifying fluctuation made Qin Chen¡¯s heart a little excited. After all, he had not been disappointed. The power that burst out opened up a passage in the pouring thunderbolts. This was something that Qin Chen had never thought of. Then, everyone saw Qin Chen charge out again. He used the Moving Secret Technique and arrived in the sky, launching an attack at the terrifying heavenly tribulation once again. However, Qin Chen did not expect the terrifying heavenly tribulation to be so powerful. More and more heavenly tribulations fell like a thousand rays of light. The innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in Qin Chen¡¯s hands launched dazzling attacks that looked like the galaxy. The heavenly tribulation was instantly blocked, and the attack crazily dashed toward the dark clouds. Even Qin Chen had never thought that the heavenly tribulations would be so terrifying. It was a heavy blow to him. This terrifying attack forced him to take a few steps back. Qin Chen used his powerful body to stabilize himself. Then, he activated the Chaotic Divine Body to its maximum. The terrifying Chaotic Divine Body could be said to be extremely powerful. All of a sudden, a heavenly tribulation washed down. Qin Chen held the terrifying innate sword embryo in his hand and wanted to destroy the heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation transformed into a terrifying barrier in the sky, like a heavenly prison. At this moment, Qin Chen was ready for a big battle. The heavenly tribulation in the sky poured down with a loud bang, wanting to drown Qin Chen. In the face of the terrifying lightning, Qin Chen¡¯s body erupted with infinite pressure. At this moment, Qin Chen had already broken through to level 8 of the God realm. Then, a terrifying aura emerged from his body, which shocked everyone. No one would have thought that Qin Chen had become so powerful. Just the aura that Qin Chen exuded was enough to make everyone feel extremely shocked. Without waiting for too long, Qin Chen waved the innate sword embryo in his hand, unleashing the chaotic sword energy that slashed at the heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation seemed to be dispersing soon. The Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal was extremely terrifying when Qin Chen used it at the last moment, directly scattering the terrifying heavenly tribulation. When the dark clouds dispersed, the heavenly tribulation was gone. What was left behind was the pure essence of the heavenly tribulation, which slowly landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body. In other words, Qin Chen had successfully broken through to level 8 of the God realm. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t take long for him to break through to the Great God realm. However, after Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough, he did not look very happy. Instead, he looked very serious. This was because he felt that if he continued improving at his current pace, even if he could break through, time was still running out. He might ultimately die at the hands of his enemies. Thinking of this, fear rose in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. At this moment, a terrifying aura appeared. The aura came very quickly. Qin Chen seemed to be completely stunned and couldn¡¯t come back to his senses. This was because the owner of this aura was himself. Not far away from Qin Chen, there was a figure that looked exactly like him. The figure looked extraordinary. Qin Chen¡¯s heart immediately stirred. He didn¡¯t know why someone who was so similar to him, so much so the other party was literally a spitting image, would appear. At this moment, everything in the world stopped moving. Even the big scorpion and the others seemed to have been frozen in place. ¡°Who are you?¡± Qin Chen heard a voice in his heart as if it was right beside his ear. ¡°Who am I? I¡¯m Qin Chen. And who are you?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s head was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to split open. He immediately looked at the other party and understood. He finally knew why the big scorpion and the others were not moving as if they had been frozen. The reason was that the figure in front of him now was his inner demon. Qin Chen immediately calmed down. He knew that if he wanted to leave, he would have to face his inner demon. One must know that the inner demon was no ordinary character, but a very powerful existence. Qin Chen¡¯s inner demon was as powerful as him, and the former¡¯s strength would change according to Qin Chen¡¯s strength. At the thought of this, Qin Chen could not help but look at the other party, ¡°You must be my inner demon.¡± ¡°Qin Chen¡± sneered and laughed evilly, ¡°You¡¯re the inner demon!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t know why he would have an inner demon. Normally, an inner demon would only appear when one had gone mad. However, he hadn¡¯t gone mad. He had only broken through a level. ¡°Do you know how long I¡¯ve been observing you in your body? No, you¡¯ll never know. This body should have belonged to the two of us, but you never let me appear. This time, I¡¯m going to devour you completely. After I devour you, I¡¯ll be able to control this body.¡± Then, the inner demon¡¯s aura fluctuated, and it was almost the same as Qin Chen¡¯s. Qin Chen made a move at the same time. He held the extreme emperor weapon in one hand and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in the other as he looked at his opponent. The same innate sword embryo and Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal also appeared in the hands of the inner demon. ¡°Qin Chen¡± knew that Qin Chen would be on guard against him, so he planned to find the latter¡¯s weakness first. As long as he could find Qin Chen¡¯s weakness, it would be easy to kill him. At the thought of this, Qin Chen immediately started fighting with his inner demon. Terrifying fluctuations and constant tremors rippled. The battle between the two was extremely intense. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that such a terrifying inner demon would appear. Could this be the other ¡°him¡± that had been suppressed in his heart? The appearance of the inner demon was fueled by fear and anxiety in people¡¯s hearts, as well as many other factors, which created a second self with a completely different personality. On top of that, inner demons were usually far more powerful than the original being. As a result, Qin Chen felt that his attacks seemed to have no effect on the inner demon. No matter how powerful his attack was, as long as it landed on the inner demon, Qin Chen would also be injured. ¡°Come on, kill me! Let¡¯s see who will die first. You¡¯re just a coward. If it wasn¡¯t for the system, you would probably still be an ordinary person with no achievements. How would you ever become a cultivator? You would just be a weakling that does odd jobs.¡± Chapter 534 - 534 At a Loss 534 At a Loss Qin Chen¡¯s mind was filled with the words of the other party. The inner demon was in front of him. Was he the inner demon, or was Qin Chen the inner demon? This question made him fall into silence. As the inner demon¡¯s attacks became increasingly terrifying, Qin Chen gradually couldn¡¯t withstand it anymore. His injuries became more and more serious. He was soon severely injured, and he spat out blood. In contrast, the inner demon was still emitting a powerful aura fluctuation after being severely injured. He looked to Qin Chen and pointed the innate sword embryo in his hand at the latter while saying, ¡°Today, only one of us can live. So, please die!¡± With that, the inner demon once again exploded with terrifying fluctuations, wanting to kill Qin Chen directly. Unfortunately, Qin Chen was not someone to be trifled with. He began to resist madly while the innate sword embryo in his hand continued to slash out waves of chaotic sword energy, which clashed with the inner demon¡¯s chaotic sword energy. In an instant, a terrifying fluctuation burst out and sent Qin Chen flying. The big scorpion and the others were not affected at all. It was as if no matter what happened, it would not affect them. This should be Qin Chen¡¯s inner world. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes reflected a ray of light. In other words, he had unknowingly entered his inner world, huh? In the outside world, Qin Chen seemed to be frozen on the spot. Everyone seemed to have stopped moving as well. Everything that was happening seemed to be happening in another time and space. In his inner world, Qin Chen was currently being chased by his inner demon. He looked as if he was about to be destroyed. The terrifying fluctuation was too powerful. In terms of combat power, the inner demon was far more powerful than Qin Chen. This was the power of the inner demon. He was simply far more ruthless than Qin Chen. Qin Chen had many scruples when he attacked, but the inner demon had none. He only wanted to kill and destroy Qin Chen. This way, he would be able to control Qin Chen¡¯s body. At that time, he would be able to live a life. Some cultivators would have a change in mentality after they went mad. It would be as if they were another person. The reason for this was that their bodies had already been occupied by their inner demons. When Qin Chen faced his inner demon, he was at a loss. It was difficult for him to kill himself, He simply couldn¡¯t take that step. But now, the inner demon had already taken action, wanting to destroy Qin Chen. For the inner demon, this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. As long as he could eliminate Qin Chen this time, it would save him a lot of trouble. God knows when he could appear again. Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity. At the thought of this, the inner demon made its move. It didn¡¯t take long for him to severely injure Qin Chen. The inner demon and Qin Chen were one and co-existing, so as long as he was injured, Qin Chen would also be injured. However, whoever died first would leave the other in control of the body. The inner demon had lost track of how long he had been suppressed. He had to hurry up and take advantage of the fact that Qin Chen had yet to recover to destroy the latter. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. In his inner world, he was filled with questions. Logically speaking, the inner demon was unkillable. If he died, Qin Chen would also have a certain risk of being seriously injured. If Qin Chen couldn¡¯t break free from the inner world, he would most likely die. Once his soul collapsed, no one would be able to save him. Generally speaking, cultivators who went mad would face their terrifying aura. The source of the terrifying aura was the fear in his heart. As long as one was still alive, one would have an inner demon. Under normal circumstances, the inner demons would not appear. Only under certain conditions could the inner demons emerge. ¡°Die!¡± The inner demon used the innate sword embryo in his hand to ruthlessly cut Qin Chen¡¯s body. One must know that the current Qin Chen had no way to fight against the other party. This sword pierced into Qin Chen¡¯s chest and landed on his bones. Qin Chen glared at the inner demon in front of him. The inner demon seemed to have set his eyes on Qin Chen and wanted to kill him here and now. His eyes were filled with endless killing intent. Other than killing, he didn¡¯t want anything else. It was as if Qin Chen¡¯s life was the most important thing to him right now. As long as he could kill Qin Chen, he was willing to do anything. He wanted to live with the identity of Qin Chen and not as the demon hiding in Qin Chen¡¯s body! What Qin Chen had experienced, the inner demon had also experienced. However, all the negative emotions in Qin Chen had turned into the inner demon. As a result, the inner demon had an obsession that would backfire on Qin Chen. But now, Qin Chen had already prepared himself to destroy the other party. He had already gotten over it. ¡°So what if you¡¯re my inner demon? Still, you¡¯re not my match.¡± With that, Qin Chen reached out and grabbed the inner demon¡¯s innate sword embryo, slowly moving it out of his body. The inner demon seemed to have seen something unbelievable. Logically speaking, Qin Chen should have already been seriously injured and thus not have any energy. Why was he still able to release such a terrifying fluctuation? Where did this power come from? The inner demon was completely flustered. He looked at Qin Chen and asked, ¡°Why are you not dead yet?¡± Qin Chen instantly punched the inner demon. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist carried an extremely terrifying power, like a peerless God of War with an undying fist intent, and blasted the inner demon away. Qin Chen stared at the inner demon and spat out another mouthful of blood. As long as he was injured, the inner demon would also be injured. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance,¡± Qin Chen smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t you want my body? As long as you can kill me, this body will belong to you alone.¡± The inner demon had never thought that Qin Chen would change so much. Was this still Qin Chen? Without waiting for the inner demon¡¯s reply, Qin Chen activated the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in his hand toward the inner demon. At the same time, the inner demon also launched an attack. He used the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal as well, and two same attacks collided. The attacks were so terrifying that they instantly tore the void apart! Chapter 535 - 535 Annihilating the Inner Demon, Stabling Ones Mentality 535 Annihilating the Inner Demon, Stabling One¡¯s Mentality The inner demon was clearly much stronger than Qin Chen. Yet, at this moment, he was being suppressed by Qin Chen¡¯s power and defeated easily. This was something that the inner demon could not comprehend no matter what. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Could it be that Qin Chen had already thought it through and wanted to kill him? ¡°We are one. How can you do this? How can you want to kill me?¡± But now, there was only one thing on Qin Chen¡¯s mind, which was to destroy this inner demon no matter what. In his opinion, there was no need for the inner demon to exist. He wanted to kill his inner demon to stabilize his mentality. With that, the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand burst out with even more terrifying power that seemed as if it could tear the stars apart, and slashed at the inner demon. This time, Qin Chen did not hold back. He really wanted to destroy the other party. In his opinion, the other party was only so-so. No matter how strong the inner demon was, it was no match for him. Since the inner demon wanted to kill him, Qin Chen could only strike first. He steeled himself to kill his other self. The inner demon kept screaming, apparently very unwilling to accept this result. He did not know why Qin Chen¡¯s attitude had changed so much. In his opinion, Qin Chen did not have such powerful strength. Yet for some unknown reason, Qin Chen seemed to have suddenly been enlightened. Qin Chen seemed to have become unfamiliar, and the inner demon no longer recognized the guy in front of him. They were living in the same body and had experienced everything together. So, why did he suddenly find Qin Chen unfamiliar? Qin Chen single-handedly inserted the innate sword embryo into the inner demon¡¯s chest. In an instant, the inner demon burned while filled with unwillingness and obsession. Then, it disappeared into the void. Qin Chen looked around. This place was clearly the same as the outside world, but he was sure that this was not the outside world. It was his inner world. He had already eliminated the inner demon and could leave now. As such, Qin Chen struck his palm forward, and the inner world was gone. When Qin Chen opened his eyes, he had returned to the familiar world. What happened just now seemed just like a dream. The big scorpion and the rest looked at Qin Chen and found that he had already broken through to level 8 of the God realm. They could not help but congratulate him in their hearts. As Qin Chen became increasingly powerful, they felt more at ease. After all, since Qin Chen had become extremely powerful, even if they were to face the crisis of the world falling into chaos in the future, they believed that he would have the ability to protect himself. Qin Chen immediately looked around the outside world. He had just gotten rid of his inner demon, and his heart was thus becoming purer as if he had reached the realm of returning to his original simplicity. Only the flame-wing beast stared at Qin Chen. It could feel that the latter had changed a lot, but it couldn¡¯t pinpoint what exactly had changed. What was going on? The flame-wing beast didn¡¯t believe that just breaking through a level could cause such a huge change in Qin Chen. The flame-wing beast stared at Qin Chen the entire time. No one knew what it was thinking. Qin Chen could sense that the flame-wing beast had already noticed his change. Currently, he had just broken through and needed to stabilize his cultivation. If it was an ordinary cultivator who had encountered their inner demon when they had just broken through, they might have been unable to resist it. Qin Chen started to stabilize his realm by devouring heavenly treasures and refining them, steadying his aura. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen finally stopped. At this moment, everyone else was waiting for Qin Chen¡¯s choice. If they continued forward, they would definitely meet that terrifying figure again. God knows how powerful the other party was. With everyone¡¯s current strength, they might not be able to deal with it. Then, Qin Chen made his decision. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The terrifying figure had disappeared last time. No one knew if it would appear again this time. What Qin Chen and the others wanted to find was an opportunity. Whatever the terrifying figure was protecting must be extremely powerful. Therefore, they had to take down the other party. If he had not broken through, Qin Chen would not have dared to say this. But now, he had already broken through. Even if that terrifying figure appeared again, Qin Chen had enough confidence to fight him. Soon, everyone arrived in the depths where a terrifying aura spread. Soon, they saw the figure. Qin Chen sneered. He could see that the terrifying figure was surprised. The latter was puzzled as to why Qin Chen and the others would choose to advance again. Were they not afraid of death? Qin Chen had always wanted to know how terrifying the figure¡¯s power was. To be able to heavily injure the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, two God Emperor-realm experts, the figure should be extremely terrifying. As of now, Qin Chen did not know if he could defeat his opponent. But with his previous experience of fighting with this mysterious figure, he knew that the latter was not willing to pay the price of going all out and killing them. After all, Qin Chen had the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal left behind by the Nether Realm Master. If this terrifying figure didn¡¯t want to fight with him, it would definitely choose to compromise. In this demon king¡¯s tomb, who knew how many more terrifying dangers there were? The terrifying figure that Qin Chen and the others were seeing now was already making them feel fear. The other party¡¯s fluctuation was simply too powerful. The terrifying figure looked at Qin Chen, wondering what the latter wanted to do. In its opinion, if it wanted to kill Qin Chen, it should be able to do so very quickly. Behind Qin Chen, the true dragon and the others were highly on guard. After all, the terrifying figure was simply too powerful. They had to use all their strength. The flame-wing beast let out a low growl. At this moment, this terrifying figure was already on the verge of losing control. To think these guys had come to it. It meant that Qin Chen was prepared to fight it. A terrifying aura instantly burst out, about to suppress them. The true dragon and the others also unleashed their cultivation, causing terrifying fluctuations to burst out. Only then could they resist the other party¡¯s pressure. Qin Chen and the others were prepared. If the terrifying figure wanted to fight with them, they would have no choice but to fight it out. At the thought of this, there was no longer any hesitation. The terrifying figure roared! Chapter 536 - 536 Lunatic 536 Lunatic Everyone was shocked when they saw the energy fluctuations coming from this terrifying figure. None of them expected the other party to be so powerful. Before this, the terrifying figure had been hiding its strength when fighting with Qin Chen and the others. They did not expect it to unleash its full power now, wanting to destroy them. In the figure¡¯s opinion, it would not take much effort to kill Qin Chen and the others. It only needed to pay a small price. With that, it suddenly growled and charged at the crowd. At this moment, everyone was also prepared for a great battle. They immediately engaged in a fight with the terrifying figure. The terrifying figure was extremely powerful. After all, it had been able to defeat two God Emperor-realm experts, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, in an instant. One had to know that it wasn¡¯t that the terrifying figure had powerful strength that it was so mighty now. Rather, it was because everyone¡¯s cultivation realm was simply too low. The terrifying figure simply didn¡¯t think much of them. Everyone was shocked when the terrifying fluctuation burst out. No one had thought that the figure¡¯s attack power would be so terrifying. It had defeated them all in an instant, causing them to be seriously injured and vomit blood. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others were not too seriously injured and could still fight. The terrifying figure launched its most powerful attack. It did not take long for the big scorpion and the others to be seriously injured. One should know that it was now extremely terrifying. The figure had already decided that it would kill Qin Chen and the others even if it had to pay the price. In its opinion, it was a great humiliation for experts below the God Emperor realm to dare to provoke it. This had crossed the mysterious figure¡¯s bottom line. Everyone¡¯s hearts began to be drowned in fear. The terrifying figure launched an attack, and the void within ten thousand miles instantly trembled. The attack seemed to be able to split an ancient star! The attack came very quickly. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast spat out innate dragon flames and a beam of light at the same time in an attempt to resist the terrifying attack. At this moment, Qin Chen also burst out with all his strength. He circulated his Chaotic Divine Body to the extreme and charged forward. He was instantly hit by the terrifying fluctuation and was thus on the verge of death. His internal organs had been injured by the impact, and the remaining shockwaves were still shaking his meridians. If this continued, Qin Chen would probably die. Fortunately, when Qin Chen was seriously injured, he immediately took out a leaf from the ancient tree of life and swallowed it then refined it. With this, Qin Chen would be able to quickly recover his strength to its peak. That being said, no matter how powerful the leaves of the ancient tree of life were, even though they contained a strong life force, they still couldn¡¯t completely heal Qin Chen¡¯s injuries in a short time. Still, Qin Chen managed to hang on and was not directly killed. The terrifying figure launched another attack, trying to kill Qin Chen and the others. In an instant, another terrifying fluctuation struck over. Since this terrifying figure did not retreat, it must be prepared to pay a price. Qin Chen had to defeat his opponent. Otherwise, God knows if the other party would keep coming after them and kill everyone. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to attack madly. The innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal in his hands had also been awakened by the divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body. They emitted a terrifying aura. He wanted to defeat the terrifying figure, but the latter was indeed not easy to deal with. With Qin Chen¡¯s realm, he could not fully unleash the power of these two treasures. Everyone looked at Qin Chen. When they realized that the Elder King was going all out, they also released all their power without holding back. Even if God were to come today, they had to defeat this guy. The crowd immediately attacked crazily, trying to defeat the terrifying figure. It was a pity that the other party was just too powerful. It launched another attack, and the void trembled. It was as if the lightning from the skies had struck. Of course, Qin Chen could imagine how many opportunities he would be able to obtain if he could defeat this terrifying figure. For the opportunity to be guarded by such a powerful expert, the magic item was definitely not ordinary. At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the rest attacked crazily again, trying to block the other party. However, they did not expect the terrifying figure to become increasingly stronger, directly injuring them. If Qin Chen and the others could recover to their peak condition, they might be able to resist the other party¡¯s attack. But now, they were already severely injured with no hope of recovering to their peak combat strength. Still, they released all their strength without any reservation at this moment in an attempt to destroy the other party. They simply could not imagine just what kind of realm the mysterious and powerful figure had reached. How could it be so terrifying? Not long after, they were once again heavily injured by the other party, and they crashed heavily to the ground. This time, even the powerful true dragon and the flame-wing beast had truly lost the ability to fight. Once again, Qin Chen devoured heavenly treasures in a frenzy, trying to recover from his injuries. He was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, so he could still withstand the attacks of this terrifying expert for a while. If Qin Chen took a step back now, everyone would not have a good end. It was very likely that they would be fatally injured by the terrifying figure. After all, the other party was too powerful. The true dragon and the others were vomiting blood and no longer had the strength to fight. Qin Chen had almost reached the limit of his endurance as well. The injuries on his body were getting more and more serious. But he didn¡¯t care. Even if he was seriously injured, he still wasn¡¯t afraid of the other party. The terrifying figure seemed to have been shocked by Qin Chen¡¯s perseverance. This was simply a lunatic. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to die, even if he had the protection of a powerful magic item. At the thought of this, the figure became even crazier. It clearly wanted to kill Qin Chen. A monster like him must not exist in this world. If Qin Chen were to continue breaking through, it was very likely that the terrifying figure would be bound by karma in the future. Once Qin Chen became powerful, he would definitely come to destroy it. At this moment, Qin Chen had already arrived above the crowd. Seeing the terrifying figure launch another attack, a wave of emotions appeared in his heart. No matter what, Qin Chen could not just leave like this. Chapter 537 - 537 Dao Patterns Fusion 537 Dao Patterns¡¯ Fusion Otherwise, he might regret it. After all, these people¡¯s lives were in his hands. Wherever Qin Chen wanted to go, they never stopped him. Instead, they were willing to follow him and risk their lives. Just based on this, Qin Chen could not back down. Before the terrifying figure could attack again, Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. He had bit the tip of his tongue and let out his blood essence. He burned and refined it. This way, he could squeeze out more of his strength. Then, the terrifying figure launched another attack. This attack whizzed down from the skies like the heavenly tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, trying to kill Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, Qin Chen went all out. He would not let this terrifying expert hurt them. The terrifying figure seemed to have some admiration for Qin Chen. It could not imagine how much perseverance a person needed to achieve this. Qin Chen was definitely the most terrifying monster he had ever seen in his life. At the thought of this, it went increasingly berserk. Qin Chen looked at the attack falling from the sky and his heart could not help but tremble. Following this, he swallowed a few leaves of the ancient tree of life again, wanting to block this terrifying attack. This time, Qin Chen was still severely injured. At this point, his aura was almost non-existent. His face was pale as blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Seeing that he was standing, the terrifying figure wanted to give him another blow. However, at this moment, Qin Chen was still calm. Currently, he was at the limit of what he could take, and he was almost unable to hold on. Blood flowed out of his mouth as he fell to the ground. Just as Qin Chen was about to die, a mysterious force unexpectedly started healing his injuries. One must know that Qin Chen¡¯s current injuries were irrecoverable. Even the reincarnation of the greatest doctor might not be of any use. Yet, at this moment, Qin Chen managed to keep his life. Mysterious Dao patterns on Qin Chen¡¯s bones entered his body, helping him stabilize his injuries and prevent his internal organs from worsening. Then, the leaves of the ancient tree of life brought a huge amount of vitality that erupted in Qin Chen¡¯s body. As long as he could withstand the terrifying attack, Qin Chen would become a complete monster in the eyes of the terrifying figures. No one in the God realm had ever reached this level. Even the flame-wing beast and the true dragon might not be able to withstand the attack of such a terrifying expert. In Qin Chen¡¯s heart, nothing was more important than injuring the terrifying figure in front of him. Qin Chen was very surprised. He did not know why the mysterious Dao patterns on his bones would merge with him. But this stabilized Qin Chen¡¯s injuries. As long as his injuries did not continue to worsen, he would not be injured for the time being, and his life would be in danger. The mysterious figure walked closer to Qin Chen. Everyone¡¯s breathing paused when they saw this scene. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s power was recovering. As long as his body could recover and be strong enough, he would be able to activate the innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal to attack. This terrifying figure grabbed Qin Chen and lifted him. It did not seem to notice that the latter¡¯s injuries were recovering. Then, it immediately looked into Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, the figure saw an endless fog where there seemed to be no way out at all. He could not even see anything. The terrifying figure was also shocked. It had never seen such a terrifying scene. In its opinion, it should have already reached the peak in the divination of heaven¡¯s secrets. Qin Chen was only a God-realm cultivator. How could it not see through him? What was shown was that Qin Chen¡¯s future was foggy and full of unknown variables. Seeing this, the terrifying figure realized that it would perhaps one day bear huge karma. As such, it hesitated. Should it kill Qin Chen? If killing Qin Chen now would bring it trouble, it would definitely be unwilling to do so. However, if Qin Chen became stronger in the future, he would seek revenge and kill it instead. As a result, the terrifying figure made up its mind. Regardless of the consequences of killing Qin Chen, it had to remove the latter¡¯s veil. Otherwise, it would probably die soon. God knows how much power the terrifying Qin Chen still had. As it thought of this, the figure looked at Qin Chen again, wanting to see something else in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes other than the fog, Unfortunately, it couldn¡¯t see anything at all. It was like a blind man. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries had almost fully recovered. He raised his hand and silently released his divine power to control the innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal, striking them abruptly at the terrifying figure. In any case, as long as he could injure this terrifying figure, Qin Chen¡¯s goal would be achieved. Before the terrifying figure could come back to its senses, it was hit by the terrifying attacks that Qin Chen had released from the innate sword embryo and the Bright Moon Dark Nether Seal. In an instant, it was sent flying backward, smashing a huge pit on the ground. Qin Chen could not help but exclaim in his heart when he saw this. He didn¡¯t dare to close his eyes for even a moment. The terrifying figure was caught off guard and was extremely shocked. It simply could not imagine that Qin Chen could still launch such a powerful attack. Logically speaking, Qin Chen should not have the strength to attack anymore. But now, Qin Chen had already fused with the mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path on his bones. In addition, the ancient tree of life¡¯s leaves had allowed him to recover a significant amount of his strength and his injuries had also healed by quite a bit. That was why he was able to unleash such a terrifying attack. He wanted to kill the terrifying figure, but Qin Chen knew that this was not realistic. After all, even if he was at his peak, he couldn¡¯t hurt the other party. Therefore, when the terrifying figure had been caught off guard and thus injured, Qin Chen was very excited. After all, he didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to injure the other party. Following this, the terrifying figure exploded again. It grabbed Qin Chen¡¯s neck. Chapter 538 - 538 Primordial Chaos Origin Pill 538 Primordial Chaos Origin Pill Before he could react, Qin Chen was taken away. The terrifying figure instantly tore through the void and brought Qin Chen to another place. At this moment, the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others didn¡¯t have any more energy left to fight. They could only watch as everything happened. Soon, Qin Chen was brought to a place where there was a pile of white bones. The terrifying figure did not attack Qin Chen again. The white bone pile was huge and wide, exuding the aura of death. It seemed that many living beings had died here. The terrifying figure smashed Qin Chen onto the pile of white bones. It was unknown what terrifying origin these white bones had when their owners were alive, but the bones were extremely hard. Qin Chen¡¯s chaotic divine body was instantly pierced through. Previously, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries had mostly recovered, but now at least five or six bones had pierced through his body again, leaving huge holes. Seeing this, the terrifying figure immediately placed his hand on Qin Chen¡¯s head. It began to perform divinity to learn heaven¡¯s secrets again, wanting to know what Qin Chen¡¯s fate was. Qin Chen, a God-realm cultivator, had given it too many surprises. One should know that a God-realm cultivator shouldn¡¯t have such strength. If it were anyone else, they would long have. It was impossible for them to last so long under its hands. At the thought of this, the terrifying figure used all its power to predict Qin Chen¡¯s fate. Still, all it could see in Qin Chen¡¯s fate was a vast white fog. It couldn¡¯t see anything clearly. God knows what kind of changes were going to happen in the fog. The terrifying figure had never met someone like Qin Chen. Suddenly, it seemed to have understood something. Logically speaking, such a situation was absolutely impossible, unless the God-realm cultivator was likely to become a peerless expert shortly. That, or he would die in its hands. Of course, there was an exception, and that was that this God-realm human cultivator had come from another world. No one knew how many years it had been since anyone had entered the Divine Illusionary Realm. The figure did not expect that these people had entered the Divine Illusionary Realm from another world. It seemed that this human cultivator had many secrets. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s soul was in great pain. He trembled violently, and bean-sized beads of sweat flowed down his pale face. He seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. No one knew what this terrifying figure was thinking. It took out a pill and fed it to Qin Chen. Before Qin Chen could react, he swallowed the pill. The pill was a terrifying heavenly treasure. How could the terrifying figure produce such a treasure? In a short while, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries began to stabilize. In the figure¡¯s opinion, Qin Chen must have a way to enter the other world. Thinking of this, the terrifying figure¡¯s heart was filled with complicated thoughts. Having been the guardian of the demon king¡¯s tomb for such a long time, it was naturally very powerful. It hadn¡¯t really decided whether or not to go to the other world yet. The others with Qin Chen must have come from the other world as well. The secrets Qin Chen had were seriously one too many. The method to leave this world was most likely in Qin Chen¡¯s hands, which was why this terrifying expert had let the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others go. However, it didn¡¯t expect that although those fellows had been seriously injured, their strength was also being slowly recovered as they searched in this direction. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s mind was completely blank. He did not know what this terrifying figure would do to him. Logically speaking, the best thing for the terrifying figure to do now was to search Qin Chen¡¯s soul directly. From there, it would be able to grasp his background. One must know that in the primordial era, many experts could enter the Divine Illusionary Realm from the other world. In the terrifying figure¡¯s opinion, since that world could produce such a monstrous human cultivator, it should have a lot of opportunities. If it went, it might be able to take the last step and break through its bottleneck. At this moment, Qin Chen was almost unconscious. He did not know what this terrifying figure was thinking. At the same time, at the bottom of the bones that had pierced through Qin Chen was a blood-like gem. It was emitting light. Slowly, Qin Chen¡¯s blood dripped down the countless bones, and a drop of his blood fell on the blood-like gem. With that, a terrifying but well-hidden fluctuation erupted. Even the terrifying figure didn¡¯t notice the fluctuation. Then, a voice rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would you like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Hearing the system¡¯s voice in his mind, Qin Chen was extremely surprised. He was on the verge of fainting. He didn¡¯t expect to be able to check in at this place. He then muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in.¡± [Congratulations, you¡¯ve successfully checked in at the blood divine stone. You¡¯ve received the primordial origin essence!] [Primordial Origin Essence: Legend has it that primordial energy was only born when the world was first created. It was later condensed by unparalleled experts through the generations and turned into the primordial origin essence which can make the user¡¯s body invulnerable to all spells.] Qin Chen did not expect that he would get the primordial origin essence by checking in. The system said that this supreme treasure could make him invincible. Didn¡¯t that mean that as long as he refined the primordial origin essence, he would become stronger? However, it did not take long for the terrifying figure to vaguely sense something. Qin Chen had already made up his mind to refine this primordial origin essence. Not long after, a chaotic ball of gas appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. He knew that this item should be the primordial origin essence. Fortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s hand had not been pierced by the bones and could still move. He slowly devoured the terrifying primordial origin essence. The terrifying figure did not notice Qin Chen¡¯s change at all. It was still in a daze, thinking about how to deal with Qin Chen. However, at this moment, Qin Chen had already swallowed the chaotic gas. In an instant, his body began to undergo a terrifying change. It was as if he had been reborn. The primordial origin essence was indeed very terrifying. Chapter 539 - 539 Primordial Domain 539 Primordial Domain To think the primordial origin essence melted the bones that had pierced into Qin Chen¡¯s body. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, a fluctuation appeared on his body, which attracted the attention of the terrifying figure. It looked at Qin Chen. It had not expected Qin Chen to become so powerful again. Regarding this human cultivator who was too monstrous, the figure was on guard because it could sense an unfamiliar power from Qin Chen¡¯s aura. It had never felt this kind of power before after living for countless years. It didn¡¯t know if this kind of power could affect it. It stared at Qin Chen again. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries had almost stabilized, so he stood up on top of the pile of bones. A primordial aura appeared on his body, with the power of gravity that could reach ten thousand pounds. Even the was at risk of being compressed and exploding. Anyone who dared to approach Qin Chen would definitely end up the same way. However, at this moment, the terrifying figure once again sent its spiritual will to Qin Chen. It wanted to find out the origin of the power in his body. Before it could react, the terrifying pressure crushed its spiritual will and turned it into nothing. The terrifying figure, who thus suffered from the soul backlash, was shocked. It had never thought that Qin Chen would have such terrifying means. Even a God Emperor-realm wouldn¡¯t be able to last this long against the terrifying figure. Yet this God-realm human cultivator had achieved this feat. When the terrifying figure thought of this, its heart was filled with complicated emotions. If it had wanted to kill Qin Chen before this, it would have been as easy as crushing an ant. But now, Qin Chen had become extremely terrifying. The power that the figure had never seen before was extremely terrifying. Even its spiritual will had been reduced to nothing when it went near Qin Chen. Qin Chen felt the changes in his body. He was shocked to find that the mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth had appeared on his bones again! Fortunately, he had reached such a state. Otherwise, even Qin Chen would not dare to fight against this terrifying figure. When Qin Chen¡¯s eyes fell on the terrifying figure, he did not waste any time and punched out! The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist carried an extremely terrifying fist intent as it whistled toward the other party. The indestructible fist intent landed on the terrifying figure like a thunderstorm. One had to know that the terrifying figure possessed extraordinary battle prowess. Even the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, two God Emperor-realm experts, couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow from it. Yet now, not only had Qin Chen injured the other party through trickery, but he also dared to fight it head-on. Qin Chen had the courage to attack the terrifying figure. Not to mention that he had the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, which was a celestial technique. In addition to the changes brought by the primordial origin essence, a primordial domain appeared around Qin Chen. In this terrifying domain, a wave of primordial energy pressed forward with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist when Qin Chen struck. In an instant, the terrifying figure was pushed back. It took a few steps back and slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit. The terrifying figure laughed out loud, and its eyes seemed to glow. It was this kind of power. It had finally encountered it once again. This was the primordial power! Although it did not know how Qin Chen, a God-realm human cultivator, had obtained the primordial power, it was certain that the primordial energy would belong to it if it killed Qin Chen. When the time came, it would have the primordial energy and be able to attempt breaking through its bottleneck. At that time, there would probably be no other experts who could suppress it. This terrifying figure had been trapped in the demon king¡¯s tomb for countless years. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it couldn¡¯t defeat the terrifying demon king back then, it wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this. However, it was too late to say anything now. What was done was done. Right now, it could only focus its attention on this monstrous human cultivator who had so many precious treasures that made it envious. It never expected that the other party could use the primordial energy. One had to know that the primordial energy was extremely terrifying. Even among the great figures of the Divine Illusionary Realm, it was extremely rare. If the terrifying figure could master the primordial power, it might be able to break through its bottleneck and escape its predicament in the demon king¡¯s tomb. After Qin Chen had punched out with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, he looked at the terrifying figure who was laughing wildly. Qin Chen did not stop and ruthlessly attacked the terrifying figure. However, the terrifying figure knew how powerful the primordial power was, so he did not fight Qin Chen head-on. Instead, it condensed a clone and used it to block Qin Chen¡¯s punch. One had to know that the punch Qin Chen had thrown out wasn¡¯t any ordinary punch. It was a punch with a celestial technique and had been added by the primordial power. Qin Chen was confident that he could severely injure that terrifying figure this time. It was a pity that this terrifying figure was a cunning old fox. After it created its clone, Qin Chen could not tell which was the real one. His fist struck the clone with lightning speed and the clone turned into nothingness instantly, as if it had never existed in this world. At the same time, the terrifying figure¡¯s aura weakened and its face turned pale. The clone it had created earlier had consumed a lot of his energy, and it had paid a sufficient price. It pointed a finger at Qin Chen. The attack was like a finger that had descended from the heavens, carrying terrifying power and wanting to destroy Qin Chen directly. The terrifying figure¡¯s finger attack was as if it could shatter a star. The power caused the void to collapse layer by layer. However, when Qin Chen saw the finger coming toward him, he was not afraid at all. He immediately unleashed his primordial domain. In an instant, the terrifying attack was stopped. It was slowly worn away before it reached Qin Chen. One must know that the terrifying primordial domain could obliterate the terrifying attack. Still, the terrifying figure seemed to be unwilling to accept defeat. If it wanted to deal with Qin Chen, it had to destroy the primordial domain first. Yet it had no idea what the characteristics of the primordial domain were. Any object that came close to the primordial domain would be obliterated, even primordial spirits. Chapter 540 - 540 Force Back 540 Force Back The terrifying figure had already tried to probe Qin Chen¡¯s strength with its spiritual will, only for its spiritual will to be instantly obliterated and turned into nothingness. How could it break Qin Chen¡¯s primordial domain? The terrifying primordial domain was truly too powerful. The terrifying figure didn¡¯t know what it should do. Seeing that the terrifying figure could not do anything to him, Qin Chen immediately chased after it. Qin Chen knew that the divine power in his body could not be maintained for long. Activating the primordial domain consumed a large amount of divine power. Therefore, Qin Chen was also taking a gamble now. He was betting on whether the terrifying figure would retreat or not. One must know that if the terrifying figure wanted to kill Qin Chen now, it would have to pay a high price. It was clear that the other party was unwilling to pay the price for Qin Chen¡¯s death. In its opinion, it had no interest in killing a monstrous genius that did not belong to this world. Therefore, this time, the terrifying figure retreated directly. Qin Chen was greatly surprised, but this was precisely what he wanted. After watching the powerful figure leave, Qin Chen wanted to recover his strength. He once again devoured countless heavenly treasures in an attempt to heal his injuries. Unexpectedly, the divine power in his body recovered much faster than before. The heavenly treasures that he had consumed were converted into pure energy and entered his body. Qin Chen knew that this was the effect of the primordial domain. Besides, even if he had recovered his full strength, so what? Without the support of the primordial domain, no matter how powerful Qin Chen was, he would not have been able to escape from the terrifying figure. After all, the terrifying figure was a powerful old monster. As such, Qin Chen was still extremely worried. If that terrifying figure were to attack him again, he might not be able to release the primordial domain again. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to refine the countless natural treasures in his storage ring. He wanted to increase his strength and quickly recover the primordial domain. With that, he would have another trump card that could save his life. Otherwise, if he were to face that terrifying figure again, death at the other party¡¯s hands would be Qin Chen¡¯s end. Finally, not long after, the heavenly resources that Qin Chen had devoured had completely restored the primordial domain. He then looked at the place where the terrifying figure had disappeared. God knows where that terrifying figure had gone, but Qin Chen did not dare to stop and rest for even a moment. He was afraid that the terrifying figure would return. If that happened, it would be useless no matter how many treasures he had. Qin Chen stood up. He could feel that his body seemed to have changed. Step by step, he walked toward the place where there were fluctuations. He knew that the true dragon and the others wouldn¡¯t just sit back and wait for death. They would come looking for him. He kept praying in his heart that they would not encounter the terrifying figure who was already in a state of madness. Up until now, Qin Chen still did not have enough confidence to deal with the terrifying figure who was simply too powerful. At this moment, the true dragon and the others were looking for Qin Chen¡¯s whereabouts while healing their injuries. Soon, they bumped into the terrifying figure. However, this terrifying figure didn¡¯t seem to be in a good state. It actually left. Everyone was extremely shocked, not knowing what had happened. They had been worried that the terrifying figure would kill them as well, but their worries were completely unnecessary. The only explanation was that the terrifying figure had suffered a loss at the hands of Qin Chen. Yet, before Qin Chen had been abducted, they clearly saw the terrifying injuries on his body. To think Qin Chen had recovered from his injuries. The terrifying figure was shocked. Not long after the terrifying figure left, Qin Chen also arrived. He looked at everyone. At this moment, the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others had yet to recover, but they were still searching for Qin Chen with determination. They finally found him. They did not know what method Qin Chen had used to injure that terrifying person. If he hadn¡¯t done that, they might not have been able to meet Qin Chen. Currently, Qin Chen seemed to have recovered to his peak. He looked at the crowd, feeling quite touched. He didn¡¯t expect that even in such a serious situation, everyone would still come to find him. His heart was filled with complicated emotions. Qin Chen immediately took out the leaves of the ancient tree of life, and everyone began to make use of the time to refine the leaves to recover from their injuries. After an unknown period, Qin Chen finally sensed that everyone¡¯s injuries had almost recovered. At this point, they had already forced the terrifying figure that had been guarding this place to back off. In other words, they could now go there and find the great opportunities and fortunes that belonged to this place. When everyone had almost recovered from their injuries, Qin Chen hurriedly led them into the depths of the cave world. The reason why they had come to the cave was to obtain great opportunities and fortunes so that their strength could improve quickly. With that, when they returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, they wouldn¡¯t be hunted down even if chaos descended. Qin Chen had already broken through to level 8 of the God realm. It probably wouldn¡¯t take long for him to break through to the Great God realm. At the thought of this, the others who had just recovered from their injuries had surging feelings of admiration for him. It was already a miracle that Qin Chen could achieve such feats by relying on his God-realm cultivation. It could even be said that Qin Chen was an extreme lunatic, which was why he had such powerful strength. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have long died and would not have been able to hold on until now. Following this, they continued to move forward in the cave. Now that the terrifying figure guarding this place had been forced to retreat, it meant that as long as they obtained the great opportunity and fortune guarded here, they could straight away breakthrough. At the thought of this, everyone¡¯s hearts were excited. They had thought that Qin Chen might have already died at the hands of the terrifying figure. They did not expect him to escape from death time and time again. Chapter 541 - 541 Demon King 541 Demon King Qin Chen managed to force the terrifying figure back. If not for the fact that he was risking his life, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to do so. Qin Chen and the others walked forward step by step. Suddenly, a fluctuation came from afar. This terrifying fluctuation caused Qin Chen¡¯s heart to palpitate. Just what level was this thing that could cause them to be so shocked? The true dragon and flame-wing beast, the two Great God-realm experts, could sense the abnormality. They looked at Qin Chen, who nodded. Everyone walked forward again. They could probably see what kind of treasure was in front of them after some distance. It had been difficult for Qin Chen and the others to survive in the demon king¡¯s tomb to this point. Many unaffiliated cultivators had already died here, and even Patriarch Xuan Tian had lost an arm. Currently, Patriarch Xuan Tian finally realized the seriousness of the matter. There must be something terrifying hidden in the demon king¡¯s tomb. However, Patriarch Xuan Tian realized, to his despair, that he did not have a choice for regret. He thus sunk into a state of madness. He didn¡¯t expect the demon king to leave behind such a deep influence. He even suspected that all the traps in the demon king¡¯s tomb were deliberately left behind by the demon king. Why did the other party do that? Patriarch Xuan Tian did not know either. He already had doubts in his heart. Perhaps the once invincible demon king had not died. Could it be that the other party wanted to be reborn? ¡°No, this is impossible.¡± Patriarch Xuan Tian let out a furious roar out of rage. He couldn¡¯t believe that the terrifying demon king was still alive. Logically speaking, the terrifying demon king should have long died. Why were there so many questionable points appearing now? When Patriarch Xuan Tian entered the demon king¡¯s tomb, he thought that he would not be injured at all. He had only come to his senses now that all this was a f*cking trap. The tomb had already attracted countless experts to die in it. Once one wanted to head to the depths of the demon king¡¯s tomb, one would definitely fall into the trap. The trap could even severely injure Patriarch Xuan Tian. As such, one could imagine how serious the casualties would be for the ordinary human cultivators, the various large factions, the demon race experts, and the unaffiliated cultivators. It would be considered good if just one-fifth of the people who came could survive. This time, it was very likely that many experts would die here. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others, who were still moving forward, finally discovered the opportunity they were looking for. It really was right in front of them. The source of that terrifying fluctuation was in a pool. In the pool was a figure with his back facing them. Could it be the fluctuation emitted by this figure? Qin Chen and the others had not forgotten how powerful that terrifying figure was. As such, they carefully probed with their spiritual will and indeed found that the cross-legged expert who had been sitting here for God knows how many years seemed to still have the aura of life. He was like a living dead. No one knew if he would wake up again. Qin Chen and the others had gone through great hardships and risked their lives to enter the depths of the demon king¡¯s tomb. They did not expect that they would end up empty-handed. The fluctuation the figure gave off was extremely terrifying, many times stronger than the terrifying figure that injured Qin Chen and the others. Just the pressure he emitted was enough to make everyone tremble in fear. There must be something mysterious about this terrifying figure. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to go forward and investigate. Holy Maiden Mu Xue stopped Qin Chen. Everyone was feeling truly fearful now. They were afraid that this person with his back facing them was another old undying or powerful enemy. They could not guarantee that their luck would continue to be as good as it was now. If they were not careful, they would be completely wiped out. How terrifying would the consequences be? They could not accept such a tragic price. In the end, Qin Chen brought everyone far away. Then, he carefully released his Jiuying divine soul. He wanted to find out what the terrifying figure with his back to them was. However, before the Jiuying divine soul could approach, a powerful pressure was emitted from the figure which suppressed the Jiuying divine soul and made it impossible for it to advance any further. There was no other way. Qin Chen paid a huge price to retrieve the Jiuying divine soul back into his body. This whole operation actually caused the Jiuying divine soul to be quite shaken. If this continued, it was very difficult to imagine what situation would befall them. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know where this terrifying figure came from. He then probed with his spiritual will again. However, this time, it seemed as if he had touched something that he should not have. A terrifying pressure instantly erupted. As the terrifying figure had his back facing Qin Chen and the others, they couldn¡¯t see that the other party¡¯s finger was actually trembling slowly. Even if getting close to the terrifying figure with their spiritual will was very difficult. Seeing this terrifying scene, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with endless emotions. He did not expect that he would actually be able to activate this terrifying figure. Seeing the terrifying expert¡¯s pressure slowly become stronger, Qin Chen and the others have a bad feeling. The big scorpion¡¯s expression was grave as he said, ¡°There¡¯s something very terrifying here. We can¡¯t stay here any longer.¡± With that, Qin Chen and the others quickly left. However, just as they wanted to leave, this terrifying figure once again erupted with a pressure that was even more terrifying than before! Instantly, Qin Chen and the others spat out blood. In the blink of an eye, it was as if a fatal danger had flashed through the hearts of Qin Chen and the others. They had to leave this place as soon as possible. God knows what kind of terrifying demon they had released. Such a powerful old undying was probably comparable to Patriarch Xuan Tian. However, after Qin Chen left with everyone, the terrifying figure sitting cross-legged did not wake up. If someone could recognize him, they would know that the other party was the owner of the demon king¡¯s tomb! No one expected that the invincible demon king was still alive. Patriarch Xuan Tian was on the verge of collapse. After losing an arm, he had been injured again. As a result, his blood qi was in disorder, and his strength had been greatly reduced. One had to know that he definitely could not defeat the former demon king. He did not expect that even the tomb left behind by the demon king after the latter¡¯s death could cause him such serious injuries. One could imagine how terrifying the demon king had been back then. After an unknown amount of time, Patriarch Xuan Tian finally recovered. Chapter 542 - 542 Destruction 542 Destruction Qin Chen seemed to feel some kind of danger. He turned his head and looked over. However, the moment he did so, he no longer had that feeling. Yet, he had clearly felt a powerful fluctuation just now. It seemed to have flashed past. But now, the terrifying fluctuation had disappeared. Once again, Qin Chen led the group to run wildly, to the point they were on the verge of collapse. As time passed, the pressure from afar gradually weakened. Qin Chen and the others kept walking forward until everyone finally arrived at a relatively safe place. They were back to their starting point. This was where they had been chased by the terrifying puppets in the cemetery. At this moment, the cemetery was very quiet. The corpses sealed under the wordless tombstones did not appear again. All these changes were probably because they had triggered a great terror, the old undying¡¯s fluctuation. Other than that, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t think of any other reason. Qin Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Everyone followed him and continued to move forward. They carefully passed through the cemetery and didn¡¯t cause any more terrifying corpses to appear. After God knows how long, they finally left the area and arrived in a spacious place where they saw many people. All of them were dead. They were all the unaffiliated cultivators they had met when they entered. Of course, there were also the corpses of some demon race experts. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know why these people would die here, but judging from the bloodstains, they realized that the corpses had probably been dragged over. At the thought of this, everyone was bewildered. God knows what happened to make them become like this. The group continued moving forward. They wanted to know if there was any danger ahead. They had nothing to be fearful of now. After all, they had just escaped death. Facing the pressure emitted by that terrifying expert, they felt as if they were on the verge of being unable to hold on. Even Qin Chen was vomiting blood as he refined natural treasures. Everyone did the same to heal their injuries. If this continued, they did not know if they could leave the demon king¡¯s tomb alive. Then, they looked ahead, where a figure seemed to have appeared. The terrifying figure that they had forced back suddenly appeared again. However, this time, Qin Chen and the others also saw that the other party was in a very sorry state. He was actually injured in many places, more wounded than when Qin Chen ambushed him. Why was this? At this point, the terrifying figure had already revealed his appearance! It was actually an old man. His eyes were empty and unfocused as if he could not see anything. Just now, it was this terrifying old man who had severely injured Qin Chen and the others. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they had peerless supreme treasures, they would have long been annihilated by this fellow. However, this time, when the terrifying figure saw Qin Chen and the others, he took the initiative to back off. It was as if there was something terrifying chasing after him. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen and the others became vigilant. They did not know what had happened, but it was obvious that an even more terrifying existence must have descended to make such a powerful expert retreat. Could it be that another extraordinary old monster had woken up here again? It was unknown how many powerful auras remained in this demon king¡¯s tomb. All this was simply beyond the imagination of Qin Chen and the others. This place was literally a hazardous spot. So many had already died. The number of people who could leave this place alive was definitely less than half of those who had entered. This was because this terrifying demon king¡¯s tomb was too dangerous. Even many large factions had been annihilated. For example, only a few were left alive from the supreme orthodoxy of the Shangqing Sect. The rest of the disciples died in battle. The various dangers they encountered were extremely terrifying. At this moment, the sect was already on the verge of collapse. Some other forces that had gathered from all over the world had also suffered heavy losses. It was beyond imagination that they would lose so many people. They had thought that with Patriarch Xuan Tian leading them into the demon king¡¯s tomb, they would definitely be able to take away all the treasures in there. They did not expect to leave their lives in the demon king¡¯s tomb. Some experts did not even have complete corpses. It seemed that the moment they stepped into the demon king¡¯s tomb, their ending was already destined. If they were given another chance, they would definitely not choose to enter. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with anticipation. Not long after, Qin Chen and the others felt a terrifying fluctuation explode! It seemed to be in the distance yet also right in front of them. The heart palpitations it caused made it difficult to breathe. Their hearts trembled. Could this be the existence that was chasing after that terrifying figure? Now, the entire demon king¡¯s tomb was in a mess. Life was dying everywhere. It was as if they could still hear their screams before they died. Finally, after an unknown period, Qin Chen and the others felt the terrifying pressure getting closer. They were already trying their best to hide their auras, afraid that they would be targeted by the other party. Fortunately, that terrifying existence did not seem to notice them at all. Instead, it went straight after the terrifying figure. This made Qin Chen and the others heave a sigh of relief. Thank God that terrifying existence didn¡¯t target them and moved into the distance instead. To be able to chase after that terrifying figure, the other party¡¯s strength must be very terrifying. Qin Chen and the others almost couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. After the terrifying existence finally left, they could finally catch their breaths. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had already left, Qin Chen and the others continued to move forward. They did not hesitate to leave the demon king¡¯s tomb. After all, it was just too terrifying. Killing traps were everywhere. If not for their good luck, they would have died many times over. Ordinary God Emperor-realm experts would absolutely not be able to survive in this dangerous place. It seemed that the demon king¡¯s tomb could not be underestimated. Although the Divine Illusionary Realm was chaotic, the experts there were more than in the nine Heavens and ten lands or even the cosmic. They also had more opportunities and treasures. One could imagine that if this continued, Qin Chen and the others might be annihilated here. Chapter 543 - 543 Female Cultivator 543 Female Cultivator Only Qin Chen knew that such a terrifying phenomenon was most likely related to the Demon King¡¯s Reincarnation Palace. The terrifying demon king who left behind the demon king¡¯s tomb might not have died yet, and now, they seemed to have accelerated the process of his reincarnation. More and more corpses appeared while they did not even see a single living person. At this moment, a pool of blood suddenly appeared under the feet of Qin Chen and the others. The blood looked very fresh and had not dried up yet. Whoever had left the blood behind shouldn¡¯t have gone far. Could it be that the other party had been lucky enough to survive? Qin Chen and the others followed the trail of blood until they found this expert. Only then did they find that this expert had gone completely crazy. He was seriously injured. He probably couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. Now was only the last bit of time before he died. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others left decisively. They had wanted to ask the other party what kind of danger they had encountered. It was a pity that he had already gone crazy and could not answer their questions. With this, Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave. At this moment, they were suddenly blocked by an array that was obviously used by human cultivators. Could it be that a human expert was here and wanted to resist those terrifying dangers again? Before Qin Chen and the others could react, they saw a woman covered in blood. She held a longsword magic item in her hand and stared at Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, she looked more beautiful due to her sorry state, however, her eyes were filled with fear. The clothes she was wearing were the uniform of the Shangqing Sect. No one expected that a female cultivator from that supreme orthodoxy had survived. Fear bubbled in the heart of this female cultivator who was lucky enough to survive. She had once seen her fellow disciples being mercilessly massacred. She had also seen the elders of the sect die tragically in front of her. The pain from those scenes that pierced into the depths of her soul was extremely intense. Qin Chen could tell that the female cultivator in front of them was extremely terrified. She seemed to be afraid of something. The array she set up only worked as a warning. It was not easy to obtain an array with a stronger defense. Besides, the God-realm female cultivator couldn¡¯t set up such an array either. Upon seeing this, Qin Chen and the others walked over. They wanted to see if the female cultivator could still communicate with them. However, perhaps the fear she suffered had been extremely terrifying, but her reaction was very exaggerated. The moment Qin Chen and the others approached the array, the female cultivator immediately became terrified. Qin Chen and the others easily broke through the warning array. Fear flooded the female cultivator¡¯s heart as she stared at Qin Chen and the others. A female cultivator like her had probably never experienced such cruel training. This time, it could be said that most of the Shangqing Sect¡¯s cultivators had died. Her reaction was within the expectations of Qin Chen and the others. Following this, they approached the female cultivator step by step. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if this female cultivator would do something crazy, so he released his Jiuying divine soul and attacked the female cultivator¡¯s primordial spirit, just enough to make her faint. He wouldn¡¯t hurt her too badly. With this, they would not have to worry about any unforeseen circumstances. After the female cultivator had already fainted, Qin Chen and the others approached her step by step. The female cultivator looked very weak at the moment. Her face was pale and her aura was very chaotic. Qin Chen took out a leaf from the ancient tree of life and let her swallow it. This way, at least this female cultivator from the Shangqing Sect could recover quickly. After that, Qin Chen comforted her soul once again. His spiritual power was extremely powerful, after all. It was extremely easy for him to calm her soul down. The injuries on her body were also quite serious. She had only managed to hold on until now with one breath. Otherwise, she would have long fainted. Qin Chen waited patiently for her to wake up. When the female cultivator woke up, she immediately discovered that there were other cultivators beside her. She could not help but feel terrified. She could sense that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were both God Emperor-realm experts. The terrifying realm naturally made her extremely afraid and sad. The female cultivator had suffered a huge blow, to begin with. All the senior brothers and elders in her sect had died in front of her. In her opinion, she was now alone and surrounded by these experts. Naturally, she was in danger. She did not want to die. Fear immediately occupied her heart. Following this, Qin Chen said a few words, finally calming this female cultivator down. Qin Chen then asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± The female cultivator said, ¡°Meng Die.¡± ¡°What exactly happened to you? Why are you the only one alive?¡± After hearing Qin Chen¡¯s question, the fear in her heart was once again triggered. It took her a lot of effort to control her trembling hands. Her eyes were red as she told him what had happened. Originally, the Shangqing Sect¡¯s cultivators had discovered a place that might have hidden treasures. They did not expect that they would release an extremely terrifying monster that instantly killed all of them. No one could stop the other party. With every breath, countless Shangqing Sect cultivators died. Even the elders of the Shangqing Sect could not resist the terrifying power. They had all died as well. Qin Chen continued asking, ¡°Where is that monster now?¡± Meng Die said, ¡°The moment that monster appears, terrifying bell chimes will ring.¡± Once one heard the terrifying bell chimes, one would fall into an illusion. It was a spiritual attack. After a short while, Qin Chen and the others heard a bell ringing in their ears. The female cultivator from the Shangqing Sect immediately covered her head. She seemed to be on the verge of going mad. ¡°It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here.¡± Qin Chen and the others felt their hearts palpitate. They also felt an incomparably terrifying fluctuation. They had just learned from the Shangqing Sect female cultivator about a terrifying monster. It was that terrifying monster that had almost wiped out the entire Shangqing Sect. They did not expect that it would actually appear near them now. Chapter 544 - 544 Its Here 544 It¡¯s Here It seemed that the Meng Die didn¡¯t lie to them. Qin Chen could sense the terrifying fluctuation, and they had also seen a terrifying figure with a bell on its foot. The bell¡¯s chimes contained a certain level of spiritual attack and could seemingly pierce through one¡¯s soul. Thinking of this, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts. Could it be that they had been targeted? One had to know that everyone was already very afraid. They did not want to deal with these powerful and terrifying existences, nor did they want to anger them. However, it seemed that the other party was already targeting them. ¡°It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here¡­!¡± The only female cultivator who was still alive in the Shangqing Sect seemed to be dominated by fear. She was about to lose control of herself. Not far away, a terrifying figure appeared. This terrifying figure seemed to be on the verge of falling apart. There was a small, exquisite, seven-colored bell on its foot. It emitted spiritual energy and was obviously no ordinary item. To think the bell could release spiritual attacks. This could be considered a rather special magic item that Qin Chen and the others had encountered. A magic item like this that could unleash spiritual attacks could only be found by chance. Still, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t feel much fear. After all, they had encountered more terrifying things. Facing this terrifying figure, everyone was vigilant. They did not know how powerful the other party was. To be able to wipe out the entire supreme orthodoxy of the Shangqing Sect, it must be very powerful. It was very likely that it had already surpassed their imagination. Thinking of this, everyone looked at the terrifying figure again. It seemed to be a middle-aged man, though its figure was illusory. The bell on its foot kept ringing as if it wanted to drag them into an illusion. Soon, illusions appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others. Each of them saw something different. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. It was as if there was endless slaughter and death. The world created by blood was so despairing. Terrifying pressure from the sky pressed down on Qin Chen, almost making him fall to the ground. Qin Chen seemed to be the only one alive in the entire world. This was what it was like entering an illusory realm. In this place, Qin Chen could only trust himself. Then, he saw the true dragon. It was actually dead! Its skin was pale, and its eyes were lifeless. It slowly staggered toward him as its huge dragon body made dragging sounds against the ground. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and was extremely calm. He opened his third eye, the Netherworld Eye, and instantly saw through the illusion. With that, a cold smile appeared on his face. He slashed out with the innate sword embryo in his hand. The divine power in his body revived the weapon, and a shocking emperor¡¯s might erupted forth, suppressing the incoming beast. Chaotic sword energy transformed into a towering giant ravine that slashed down fiercely. In an instant, he heard the terrifying true dragon illusion let out a miserable cry and then turned into ashes. Not long after, the flame-wing beast¡¯s illusion appeared as well. It was also dead, and its eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. It kept roaring at Qin Chen as if it was questioning his actions of killing it. However, Qin Chen had opened his Netherworld Eye. The illusion was no longer able to disturb his Dao heart. He then threw a punch at the flame-wing beast. In an instant, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was unleashed, carrying a soaring fist intent. Qin Chen circulated his acupoint technique to the extreme. The blood qi in his body soared. Like an ancient beast, he punched out, tearing the void apart. In an instant, the flame-wing beast was scattered into nothingness, never to appear again. The reason why Qin Chen was so ruthless was that he had already seen through the illusions. They weren¡¯t the real true dragon and flame-wing beast. Qin Chen had not expected the terrifying illusion to be so powerful that it could directly drag him in. The bell on the foot of that terrifying figure must be an incredible spiritual attack magic item. He wondered what extraordinary origins the terrifying magic item had to actually possess such powerful methods and power. It did not need to be activated at all to erupt with such terrifying power. It was simply the most extraordinary treasure Qin Chen had ever seen. Currently, Qin Chen and the others had been thrown into separate illusions. One could imagine that without the Netherworld Eye, it was very likely that Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others had encountered terror in their respective illusions. Then, Qin Chen looked ahead and saw a divine statue. This terrifying divine statue looked like a majestic God. It emitted a terrifying aura as if the entire world was under its control! It attacked Qin Chen, wanting to kill him. Unfortunately, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t that easy to deal with. Seeing this terrifying divine statue charging toward him, Qin Chen infused his innate sword embryo with divine power and slashed out at the divine statue. The statue with terrifying power roared. Terrifying divine light radiated from its body, making it look like an ancient great emperor who wanted to kill Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen had the Netherworld Eye, which allowed him to see through the essence of this illusion in an instant. It was simply impossible to use this illusion to crush him. Qin Chen didn¡¯t hold back either. The chaotic sword energy was like a towering sword light that instantly pierced through the terrifying divine statue, destroying it. After the statue was destroyed, the heavens and earth wailed with grief. It was as if Qin Chen had done something that made the heavens and earth cry. It was as if an ancient great emperor had truly fallen, causing the heavens to weep. Qin Chen smiled indifferently. With a wave of his hand, the world seemed to have changed. The illusory realm was suddenly shattered. At this moment, Qin Chen had broken free. When Qin Chen opened his eyes again, he saw that the big scorpion had already fallen to the ground in pain. Holy Maiden Mu Xue was hugging her head as if she had seen something she didn¡¯t want to see. Tears flowed down her face. Yuji was also on the verge of collapse. She had reached the limit of her endurance. The true dragon was vomiting blood as if it had been severely injured. The flame-wing beast was also on the verge of breaking down. Its aura became extremely chaotic, and it looked as if its Dao heart had been broken. This made Qin Chen gasp. He had never thought that everyone would become like this. One had to know that the terrifying figure hadn¡¯t even made a move. Yet, they were already on the verge of death. Chapter 545 - 545 Patriarch Xuan Tian Appears 545 Patriarch Xuan Tian Appears Qin Chen used the energy of the Netherworld Eye to calm everyone¡¯s primordial spirits. After a while, everyone slowly recovered. When they opened their eyes, they felt immense lingering fear. Just now, they had been clueless about whether what they had just seen was real or fake. If Qin Chen hadn¡¯t saved them, they might have already been on the verge of collapse by now. Qin Chen had a bad feeling. He saw that the terrifying figure was getting closer. If this continued, it was very likely that they would all die. After all, this terrifying figure had yet to attack them and there were already in such a state. One could imagine that when that terrifying figure did attack them, they would not be able to resist at all. It was very likely that they would be annihilated straight away. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly made preparations for defense. He held the innate sword embryo and poured the divine power in his body into it. At the same time, he closed the Netherworld Eye. After all, if he continued to use it, it would probably consume a lot of his divine power. The terrifying middle-aged man seemed to have sensed something. It did not expect everyone to be able to escape from the illusion so quickly. With that, it came attacking, wanting to destroy them. After all, it seemed to only be able to feel at ease after everyone died. Or rather, it had been shocked by the other party¡¯s terrifying power. To think these human cultivators were so powerful. One had to know that even the God Emperor-realm experts he had encountered hadn¡¯t been able to break free from the illusion in such a short time. Thinking of this, this terrifying figure attacked Qin Chen and the others. Although its figure was illusory, the attacks it unleashed were incomparably terrifying and could seemingly tear the sky apart. Terrifying aurae instantly erupted. This terrifying commotion naturally shocked Qin Chen and the others. If this continued, it was very likely that they would be unable to withstand it. It was simply unrealistic to rely on Qin Chen¡¯s strength alone to withstand this terrifying attack. Before the true dragon and the others could react, the attack arrived in the blink of an eye. Qin Chen had no choice but to step forward. He fully circulated the Chaotic Divine Body which instantly caused the heavens to rumble. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body seemed to have sensed danger as it automatically emitted a terrifying light to protect its master. No one expected the terrifying attack to be so powerful that it sent Qin Chen flying a thousand miles away, smashing him onto the ground. With a terrifying boom, Qin Chen felt as if all his bones had been broken. One had to know that there were mysterious Dao patterns formed by the heaven and earth Great Path on his bones. But now, even the Dao patterns formed by the heaven and earth Great Path could no longer protect him. Following this, Qin Chen once again unleashed a terrifying aura. He struggled to swallow a leaf of the ancient tree of life in his storage ring. Qin Chen only relaxed after he felt the terrifying life force released by the leaf of the ancient tree of life. With that, he knew that he wouldn¡¯t die. At this moment, the terrifying figure wanted to attack Qin Chen and the others again. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast hurriedly retreated with Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and Yuji. They tore the void apart and crossed the void together with Qin Chen. Unfortunately, the attack came too quickly. It cut off one of the flame-wing beast¡¯s arms just as everyone was escaping. One had to know that the flame-wing beast was at level 9 of the God Emperor realm. Unexpectedly, the attack was so powerful that even the terrifying flame-wing beast felt the aura of death at this moment. Fortunately, they had already escaped from the place. The terrifying figure seemed to have no intention of continuing to pursue them. It actually left. That female cultivator from the Shangqing Sect was already unconscious. God knows if she could make it. This terrifying figure was truly too powerful. Even now, the hearts and Qin Chen and the others were trembling. Now, they had arrived at a corner of the demon king¡¯s tomb which was God knows how far away from where they came from. They could finally stop and rest here. If they couldn¡¯t rest, they would most likely be exhausted. At this point, Qin Chen and the others had already lost the motivation to continue fighting. After all, that terrifying figure was just too terrifying. God knows how many more terrifying existences and old monsters were in the demon king¡¯s tomb. If another battle broke out, it was very likely that they would die. At the thought of this, fear rose in everyone¡¯s hearts. Qin Chen hurriedly refined the leaves of the ancient tree of life, wanting to recover his strength and injuries. He also gave the others several branches of the ancient tree of life, letting them refine the branches and recover their injuries. After all, there was an exceedingly great danger in this terrifying demon king¡¯s tomb. If they were not careful, they might die. At the thought of this, everyone was terrified. Not long after, a terrifying fluctuation descended again. Qin Chen and the others were scared out of their wits. They wondered if it was some old monster who had set his eyes on them again. Instantly, everyone became vigilant and looked around. Fortunately, the owner of that terrifying aura did not appear in the surroundings. This meant that the other party had no intention of attacking them at all. Not far away, Patriarch Xuan Tian who only had one arm left was being chased. He was extremely furious. If he had still been at his peak, how could he be in such a sorry state? He would have turned around and destroyed the other party without much effort. But now, to think he was forced into a desperate situation. If this continued, God knows if he could walk out of the demon king¡¯s tomb alive. At the thought of this, he felt endless despair in his heart. Soon, Patriarch Xuan Tian spat out a mouthful of blood while still running with all his might. Suddenly, he felt several auras appear ahead. The aura fluctuations ahead were weak. Why had they suddenly appeared? There should be some unaffiliated cultivators hiding in front. Qin Chen and the others then saw Patriarch Xuan Tian, who was in a sorry state. His hair was disheveled and he was missing an arm. He rushed past them. One should know that Patriarch Xuan Tian was extremely powerful and could even crush God Emperor-realm experts. To think the opponent the other party faced was so terrifying that even Patriarch Xuan Tian had been severely injured¡­ Fear grew in their hearts. Fortunately, Patriarch Xuan Tian had already left. Chapter 546 - 546 Heavenly Cycle Flag 546 Heavenly Cycle Flag Qin Chen and the others watched Patriarch Xuan Tian run away in shock. They couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of terrifying existence could force him to this extent. Patriarch Xuan Tian was extremely powerful. How could someone injure him so badly? Thinking of this, they immediately became wary. Not long after, a powerful fluctuation appeared! A terrifying aura came over, suppressing everyone. Everyone quickly restrained their auras and avoided using them as much as possible, afraid that they would be discovered by the other party. Then, the terrifying existence finally appeared. It was a godfiend corpse! It was extremely powerful as it chased after Patriarch Xuan Tian. Patriarch Xuan Tian was naturally outraged and unwilling to be forced to this extent. After all, he was an expert who could dominate an area. His cultivation prowess had already reached the point where countless cultivators had to look up to him. Being forced to this extent in the demon king¡¯s tomb made him feel endless fear. He suspected that the terrifying demon king in the tomb was not dead yet. It was very likely that the latter was being reincarnated. If the other party succeeded, let alone whether he could resist, even escaping from the demon king¡¯s tomb would become a wild hope. Still, at this moment, the terrifying Patriarch Xuan Tian knew that he could not delay any longer, having been forced to this extent. He had to seize the time to find an opportunity to escape from the demon king¡¯s tomb. The terrifying existence continued to pursue Patriarch Xuan Tian. He was about to go crazy, but unfortunately, he could only keep running. If the other party caught up, it was very likely that he would die at the other party¡¯s hands. God knows how many variables there were in the current demon king¡¯s tomb. Soon, the terrifying existence caught up with Patriarch Xuan Tian. A palm hit him and he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Then, his aura weakened. He looked at that terrifying existence. Then, he steeled his heart and stopped in his tracks. He knew that he could no longer run. Only by dealing with this terrifying existence now could he continue to live. Patriarch Xuan Tian took out his treasure. It was a palm-sized flag. The flag in his hand was his natal magic item, the Heavenly Cycle Flag. The Heavenly Cycle Flag was a rare treasure that he had obtained by chance. It possessed terrifying power. After many years of refining, it had long become highly terrifying. Patriarch Xuan Tian activated it and a terrifying pressure erupted, suppressing the terrifying existence. The terrifying existence sensed that the terrifying pressure released by the Heavenly Cycle Flag in Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s hand brought many dangers. It shot out a sharp light, wanting to destroy the Heavenly Cycle Flag. Qin Chen and the others discovered that a huge battle had broken out not long after Patriarch Xuan Tian was chased by that terrifying existence. At this moment, Patriarch Xuan Tian was ready to go all out. The clash between the two terrifying existences caused the demon king¡¯s tomb to tremble. No one knew who would survive. Qin Chen and the others immediately wanted to leave. After all, if the terrifying aftershock affected them, it would bring about terrifying casualties. It was simply impossible for them to resist with their current strength. Everyone quickly fled. The terrifying fluctuations immediately covered an area of tens of millions of miles. This caused them to feel endless fear. The attack of the godfiend instantly smashed into Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s back. Unfortunately, although this attack was powerful, Patriarch Xuan Tian had already used a secret technique, leaving behind only his afterimage clone. The afterimage clone was instantly destroyed by the powerful attack. Patriarch Xuan Tian sneered. Although he had lost an arm, his other arm was still intact and usable. He injected the divine power in his body into the Heavenly Cycle Flag. In an instant, the Heavenly Cycle Flag burst out with terrifying fluctuations. Following this, the Heavenly Cycle Flag was like a huge blade that wanted to cut the godfiend into two. However, such a terrifying existence was clearly not so easy to deal with. Patriarch Xuan Tian felt that the other party was very disdainful and wanted to use its body to resist the Heavenly Cycle Flag. In the end, to the godfiend¡¯s surprise, it couldn¡¯t resist the Heavenly Cycle Flag and its body was directly cut into two halves. With that, some apprehensions rose in the terrifying existence¡¯s heart. It could not imagine how the other party could be so powerful. Qin Chen and the others were ready to give it their all to escape. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± Qin Chen wanted to tear the void apart and leave with everyone, but they discovered that the surrounding space wasn¡¯t stable. It was impossible to tear the void apart. If they forcefully tore through the void and entered, it was very likely that they would be reduced to ashes. They instantly felt a sense of terror. If this continued, they would be affected by this great battle! The battle between those two terrifying existences was extremely horrendous. They might even lose their lives. At the thought of this, a sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts. Even if they wanted to leave now, it was no easy feat. After an unknown period, Qin Chen and the others suddenly felt a sharp pain in their hearts. Immediately after, they spat out mouthfuls of blood. Unknowingly, they had been injured! Soon after, Qin Chen noticed a figure come flying over and landed right in front of him. When he saw who the terrifying figure was, he was extremely fearful. It was Patriarch Xuan Tian! Patriarch Xuan Tian looked like he was about to die. The terrifying aura on his body was chaotic at this moment. The terrifying godfiend had come after Patriarch Xuan Tian once more, wanting to deliver the last blow and kill him. Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s eyes revealed terrifying killing intent. Unfortunately, he had already been severely injured by the other party. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. Not far away from him was that terrifying godfiend! The terrifying godfiend was also heavily injured. It walked towards Qin Chen step by step. Instantly, Qin Chen¡¯s hair stood on end. A small, dull flag stuck in the middle of the godfiend¡¯s brows. Blood gushed out from the wound. Patriarch Xuan Tian hurriedly said to Qin Chen, ¡°Stop it! I¡¯ll recover soon.¡± Chapter 547 - 547 Run First 547 Run First At this point, Qin Chen had already been suppressed by the huge pressure and could only watch as the terrifying godfiend approached step by step. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with fear. After all, even Patriarch Xuan Tian couldn¡¯t fight against this terrifying godfiend, so how could he resist the latter by relying on his own strength? Patriarch Xuan Tian knew that it was unrealistic for this unaffiliated cultivator to block the attack. After all, this unaffiliated cultivator was really too weak. He wasn¡¯t even in the God Emperor realm. And now, he was facing a godfiend that could easily kill God Emperor-realm experts. Many variables appeared in his heart. Patriarch Xuan Tian was also frantically recovering his strength. After all, he knew that it would not be easy to kill the other party. That terrifying existence was too powerful. Even he was not its match now. At this moment, the terrifying godfiend was approaching Qin Chen step by step. It struck out an attack that flew toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen immediately felt a terrifying pressure land on his body. Then, he was sent flying. His mind trembled as he spat out a mouthful of blood. After that, the terrifying godfiend looked at Patriarch Xuan Tian, who had lost an arm. Patriarch Xuan Tian had been severely injured and basically had no means of resistance now. In an instant, a terrifying pressure erupted, and a terrifying attack landed on Patriarch Xuan Tian. Patriarch Xuan Tian seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and vomited blood again. A huge hole appeared in his chest where blood gushed out. Seeing this, Qin Chen hurriedly wanted to leave with everyone. Everyone knew that since such a terrifying battle had happened and that the two terrifying existences had already started fighting in front of them, there would be many aftershocks. Once any of those aftershocks landed on them, it was very likely that they would die immediately. After all, these two terrifying experts could effortlessly kill even God Emperor-realm experts. It was obviously unrealistic for Qin Chen and the others to resist. Qin Chen wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He then stood up and sent a voice transmission to the true dragon and the others. ¡°Run! Let¡¯s leave this place first.¡± The true dragon and the others were scared out of their wits at this point. They immediately nodded at Qin Chen and rushed out, raising their speed to the maximum. In just a short moment, Patriarch Xuan Tian had already exchanged hundreds of blows with this terrifying godfiend. Although there was a huge hole in his chest, this level of damage was obviously not enough to kill him. The battle between the two experts was indeed incomparably terrifying. In an instant, Qin Chen and the others felt a terrifying pressure enveloping them, making it difficult for them to breathe. However, they also knew that now was definitely not the time to stop. They had to run without stopping before they could leave this place and escape. Otherwise, they would die under the terrifying aftershocks. Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at the outer perimeter. Qin Chen tore through the void and wanted to bring the others with him to leave. Just as he tore open the void, he heard a miserable cry. This terrifying wail made their hearts tremble. He hurriedly pushed everyone in. Qin Chen was the last one to enter the spatial crack. When the spatial crack slowly closed, he could sense that a figure had also entered. Before Qin Chen could react, they had already appeared in another place. This was another corner of the demon king¡¯s tomb where there seemed to be many hidden dangers. When Qin Chen and the others emerged from the spatial crack, they felt a wave of palpitating fluctuations on their bodies. The moment Qin Chen landed on the ground, he fell and lay on the ground. It was not because his injuries were too serious, but because a terrifying primordial spirit had entered his body. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t come back to his senses. The primordial spirit that had entered his body was Patriarch Xuan Tian! Qin Chen¡¯s slow reaction had allowed Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s primordial spirit to enter his body! One had to know that Patriarch Xuan Tian was someone so powerful that even a God Emperor would not be able to last an instant in his hands. To think Patriarch Xuan Tian had abandoned his body at the last moment and attached his primordial spirit to Qin Chen, wanting to possess him. In his opinion, Qin Chen was just an ordinary God-realm cultivator. If he wanted to possess Qin Chen, it would be extremely easy. However, the only thing he had overlooked was that he had never expected Qin Chen to have so many treasures that could deal with the primordial spirit. ¡°Be obedient and hand over your body to me,¡± Patriarch Xuan Tian said coldly. In his opinion, Qin Chen¡¯s body had already belonged to him. The reason why he gave up his body was that his physical foundation was too weak. In contrast, Qin Chen¡¯s body was simply too perfect. Even in his countless years of life, he had never met another who had a body that could match Qin Chen¡¯s body. As a result, he wanted to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. After all, Qin Chen¡¯s allure to him was too great. He yearned to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. In this way, he might be able to break through to his original realm, though the time he would need to spend would probably be a little longer. However, that was not an unacceptable price for Patriarch Xuan Tian. Just now, his body had been blown up by that terrifying godfiend existence. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to abandon his body and enter Qin Chen¡¯s body with his primordial spirit. Either way, Qin Chen¡¯s physical body was merely a place for him to settle down now. The only thing that could allow him to rise was to constantly cultivate and obtain opportunities and good fortune. ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to appreciate the offer while I¡¯m still being nice, I¡¯m afraid that after I possess you, your primordial spirit will be tortured by me until you would wish you were dead instead.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. To think Patriarch Xuan Tian wanted him to give up his body. Patriarch Xuan Tian was certain that he had Qin Chen in his grasp. Chapter 548 - 548 Who Do You Think You Are? (1) 548 Who Do You Think You Are? (1) Thinking of this, Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s Yuan primordial spirit burst forth, wanting to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body. In his eyes, the other party¡¯s body was incomparably precious. He yearned for Qin Chen¡¯s body very much. If he couldn¡¯t possess the latter¡¯s body now, he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to do it again. Qin Chen said indifferently, ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Patriarch Xuan Tian felt like he was hallucinating. What did he hear? To think this God-realm human cultivator mocked him! Was he courting death? As far as he was concerned, it wouldn¡¯t take too long to get rid of Qin Chen. He only needed to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body and devour his primordial spirit. With that, the other party¡¯s body would belong to him. At the same time, he could continue to survive. Even though his realm would then be very low and would fall back to the God realm, he believed that with his talent and terrifying primordial spirit, it would only take him half a month to return to the God Emperor realm. At that time, he could try to seize some opportunities in the demon king¡¯s tomb. When he obtained these opportunities, he might be able to advance to the realm above the God Emperor realm. At that time, he would be able to escape from the demon king¡¯s tomb. Patriarch Xuan Tian had always been suspicious that the demon king in the demon king¡¯s tomb was not completely dead. The other party might be playing a huge game of chess, wanting to be reborn and live a second life. But now, he had already found a way to crack the situation. As long as his primordial spirit had Qin Chen¡¯s body, he would naturally have a higher chance of surviving. To think this God-realm cultivator was so arrogant. Patriarch Xuan Tian had lived until now and was extremely terrifying. Did this God-realm human cultivator think that he had a chance to turn the tables? One had to know he was Patriarch Xuan Tian. If he was at his peak, he only needed to move a finger and he would be able to turn this guy into ashes. If he couldn¡¯t handle a mere God-realm human cultivator, all these years Patriarch Xuan Tian spent on cultivating would be just a joke. ¡°If you have the guts, then try it,¡± Qin Chen continued. He was no longer afraid because Patriarch Xuan Tian seemed to only have his primordial spirit. His physical body should no longer be around. Without the strength of his physical body, it would be impossible for Patriarch Xuan Tian to possess Qin Chen with just his soul power. This was because Qin Chen possessed the Chaos Divine Ring, the heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It shouldn¡¯t take much effort to get rid of Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s primordial spirit. Thinking of this, Qin Chen laughed. He then condensed his primordial spirit in his body as well. In Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s opinion, no matter how powerful this God-realm human cultivator was, he should not be his match. Therefore, Patriarch Xuan Tian faced Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit head-on and wanted to refine it directly. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen suddenly waved his hand and a golden light ring flew over. This terrifying light ring was infinitely fear-invoking. If a battle broke out, Patriarch Xuan Tian would probably not be its match at all. Patriarch Xuan Tian was instantly shocked. He had not expected a terrifying weapon to come from the hands of this God-realm human cultivator. How could a cultivator of this realm have such a terrifying treasure? Logically speaking, such a terrifying treasure should not be in the hands of this human cultivator. ¡°This¡­This is impossible!¡± Even though Patriarch Xuan Tian found it unbelievable, there was nothing he could do. After all, the current Qin Chen had already given him such a huge shock. Right in front of his eyes, he had witnessed the existence of a terrifying supreme treasure in Qin Chen¡¯s body! The golden divine ring was extremely terrifying. If such a weapon were to attack him, it would probably be able to kill him naturally. He simply couldn¡¯t fathom how an ordinary God-realm human cultivator could have such a powerful treasure. Thinking of this, Patriarch Xuan Tian was extremely shocked. A cold smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He continued to speak to Patriarch Xuan Tian, ¡°Do you still want to try?¡± Hearing this, Patriarch Xuan Tian said to Qin Chen, ¡°Little fellow, please don¡¯t be rash. No matter what, I¡¯m still a supreme expert. If you can get my knowledge, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. You must know that it is a great fortune for you to receive the guidance of an expert like me.¡± After hearing this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel killing intent. In his opinion, even though Patriarch Xuan Tian wanted to use his knowledge as a trump card and offer him guidance in cultivation, Qin Chen didn¡¯t think much of it at all. This was because he had already obtained enough opportunities. He did not need such a fellow to teach him. Even if Qin Chen allowed this old fellow to teach him, he would always be suspicious of him and wonder if the other party would harm him. He couldn¡¯t be sure if the old man still wanted to possess him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was prepared to kill Patriarch Xuan Tian. Chapter 549 - 549 Who Do You Think You Are? (2) 549 Who Do You Think You Are? (2) Sensing the terrifying killing intent from Qin Chen, Patriarch Xuan Tian was stunned. He didn¡¯t know why the other party wanted to kill him so badly. One must know that he was an extremely powerful supreme expert. If an ordinary cultivator could obtain him, they might be ecstatic. Yet, he didn¡¯t see any desire from Qin Chen, only coldness. Could it be that this guy had other fortuitous encounters? Otherwise, how could he have no reaction at all? To be honest, there was one thing Qin Chen wanted to do the most right now, and that was to kill Patriarch Xuan Tian. If Patriarch Xuan Tian was not eliminated, he would not be able to rest easy. After all, the other party was a very powerful hidden danger. If Patriarch Xuan Tian were to obtain any more power, he would very likely become the enemy of Qin Chen and the others. At that time, even if they wanted to go back on their word, it would be too late. They would definitely not be able to fight against this cunning old fox. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to kill Patriarch Xuan Tian straight away. Otherwise, they might fail miserably. At the thought of this, apprehension bubbled in their hearts. Qin Chen felt the same. Everyone could feel the powerful soul power fluctuation in Qin Chen¡¯s body. Clearly, another primordial spirit had most likely entered his body. Who was the owner of that powerful primordial spirit which now existed in the body of this Elder King? It was most likely the terrifying Patriarch Xuan Tian. Only he could give off such powerful primordial spirit fluctuations. They didn¡¯t expect him to regard Qin Chen as prey and want to possess him. Worry rose in everyone¡¯s hearts. They did not know if Qin Chen could resist Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s terrifying possession attempt. At this moment, Qin Chen was looking at Patriarch Xuan Tian, who was trembling in fear. He was filled with emotions. Patriarch Xuan Tian had been a terrifying character in the past but was now his prisoner. With a single thought, Qin Chen could kill him. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t do that. Instead, he wanted to get some information from Patriarch Xuan Tian. After all, such a terrifying existence would definitely know many secrets. What Qin Chen wanted to ask him was how they could leave the Demon King Tomb. Patriarch Xuan Tian was very calm after hearing Qin Chen¡¯s question. As long as Qin Chen needed his help, he was still useful. He could thus use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Qin Chen. In his opinion, this God-realm human cultivator was too terrifying. The other party was simply a monstrous freak, a peerless genius that would only appear once in a thousand years. It was a pity that he had only met this guy now. If Patriarch Xuan Tian had discovered this fellow earlier, he might have already prepared this body for himself. How could he have let the other party live until today? To think now, he was not the other party¡¯s opponent. The most important thing was that Patriarch Xuan Tian had lost his physical body, so he couldn¡¯t use his physical strength at all. It was simply unrealistic for his soul power to contend against Qin Chen¡¯s Chaos Divine Ring. After all, the power of the Chaos Divine Ring was too terrifying. Even if Patriarch Xuan Tian had terrifying power, it was not enough to resist the Chaos Divine Ring. He could feel that the Chaos Divine Ring seemed to be able to restrain him. It was a supreme treasure that targeted primordial spirits. It was like a natural enemy to soul power or primordial spirits. Chapter 550 - 550 Refining Memory Fragments 550 Refining Memory Fragments After all, the power of the Chaos Divine Ring was too terrifying. Even if Patriarch Xuan Tian had terrifying power, it was not enough to resist the Chaos Divine Ring. He could feel that the Chaos Divine Ring seemed to be able to restrain him. It was a supreme treasure that targeted primordial spirits. It was like a natural enemy to soul power or primordial spirits. Thinking of this, Patriarch Xuan Tian continued, ¡°I can tell you the way to leave this place. But first of all, you must promise me that you won¡¯t kill me after you¡¯ve used me.¡± A cold smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He didn¡¯t understand why the other party was still so confident and dared to talk to him as if they were on the same level. If Qin Chen wanted to leave, he had many ways to do so. In contrast, Patriarch Xuan Tian only had one chance. If even his primordial spirit was destroyed here, he would probably never be resurrected. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s disdainful gaze, Patriarch Xuan Tian was terrified. He didn¡¯t know how he could control the God-realm human cultivator. Qin Chen said, ¡°You only have one chance. Remember, I¡¯m asking you a question now, not negotiating with you. You don¡¯t have the right to talk to me as if we¡¯re on the same heights.¡± Patriarch Xuan Tian panicked when he heard this. He now knew that even if he did not say anything, the other party would probably be able to leave this damn place with the many treasures on him. Other than that, if this human cultivator made up his mind to kill him, he wouldn¡¯t have any other choice. He could only be like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. Thinking of this, Patriarch Xuan Tian panicked and said again, ¡°If you don¡¯t kill me, I¡¯ll give you a great opportunity! How about it? However, the prerequisite is that you have to swear a Heavenly Dao oath. Only then can I tell you my secret without worry.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything else. He didn¡¯t want to continue talking nonsense with Patriarch Xuan Tian. The two were both old foxes. They were more shrewd than anyone else. How could they not know what the other party was thinking? However, what Patriarch Xuan Tian didn¡¯t know was that as long as Qin Chen could kill him in his body, he would be able to obtain his memory fragments. At that time, as long as Qin Chen refined the memory fragments, he would naturally learn everything he wanted to know. Therefore, before Patriarch Xuan Tian could react, he felt a terrifying pressure fall on him! Not too long later, the terrifying soul power in Qin Chen¡¯s body disappeared. What replaced it was countless memory fragments that were floating in Qin Chen¡¯s body. These memory fragments were all that was left behind after Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s primordial spirit was destroyed. Qin Chen had to seize the time to refine these fragments. Only then would he know what he wanted to know. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to refine the primordial spirit memory fragments. Everyone could sense that the terrifying primordial spirit fluctuation from Qin Chen¡¯s body had already disappeared. Didn¡¯t this mean that the danger in Qin Chen¡¯s body had been removed? With that, they didn¡¯t have to worry about that existence anymore. After all, Qin Chen was extremely terrifying. He had many supreme treasures. Even the former ancient great emperor, the Divine Fire Great Emperor, was killed by Qin Chen when he tried to possess him. Now, to think a mere Patriarch Xuan Tian wanted to possess his body. It was only a given that Qin Chen killed him without hesitation. To think the other party even wanted to bargain with him. Wasn¡¯t that clearly courting death? Even if Patriarch Xuan Tian told him what he knew, Qin Chen would never let him off. Only by killing him would Qin Chen be able to completely relax. If he let the tiger return to the mountain, it would be too late for regret. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed in his heart. Patriarch Xuan Tian had left behind too many memory fragments. If he wanted to refine all of them, he would need to spend a lot of time. Left with no other choice, Qin Chen began to refine the enormous memory fragments. Only after doing so would he know how to leave the Demon King¡¯s Tomb. Other than that, the great fortune Patriarch Xuan Tian mentioned could probably only be found in his memory fragments as well. With that, Qin Chen began to refine Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s primordial spirit fragment piece by piece. Time passed very quickly and boringly. Qin Chen felt as if he had transformed into Patriarch Xuan Tian, experiencing some of the things he had experienced. It was because of these incidents that Patriarch Xuan Tian became who he was. Unfortunately, such a peerless expert had now fallen. Even his primordial spirit had been wiped out by Qin Chen. Chapter 551 - 551 Buzhou Mountain 551 Buzhou Mountain This was the first time Qin Chen had killed such a powerful existence himself. Apart from the crippled Divine Fire Great Emperor, Patriarch Xuan Tian was the strongest existence he had ever killed. Although Patriarch Xuan Tian had been tricked by the terrifying demon king in the demon king¡¯s tomb, Qin Chen was still the one who sent him on his way. It was an extremely good feeling. Qin Chen had long decided that no matter how powerful Patriarch Xuan Tian was, he wouldn¡¯t let the latter ride on his head. Therefore, Patriarch Xuan Tian had to die. Currently, Qin Chen had already started to refine Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s soul fragments. Although Patriarch Xuan Tian was very powerful, Qin Chen was powerful too and possessed a supreme treasure that was powerful enough. As such, killing the other party had been a piece of cake. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to refine the memory fragments, which were quite many. Qin Chen felt as if his head was about to split open. The reason for this was that Patriarch Xuan Tian was too powerful. His cultivation had already reached the point where Qin Chen had to look up to him. With so many soul fragments, it took Qin Chen a lot of time to finally refine them all. Qin Chen slowly opened his eyes. He had obtained quite important information. Patriarch Xuan Tian was indeed a very powerful existence. He had a lot of power, and the opportunity he mentioned did exist in a place called Buzhou Mountain. Although Qin Chen had never heard of this place, he knew from Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s memory that Buzhou Mountain was extremely powerful and had countless treasures. If Qin Chen could obtain those treasures, he would definitely become extremely powerful. He had already seen how powerful Buzhou Mountain was in Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s memories. At the same time, it was also a little dangerous. He had to place more importance on such a place. ¡°Buzhou Mountain,¡± Qin Chen murmured. He had to go to Buzhou Mountain after he left this tomb. Although he was still trapped in this damned place, he really wanted to go and take a look. What kind of place was Buzhou Mountain? If he could obtain some treasures and good fortune, that would be huge. It would give Qin Chen the confidence to try to break through to the Great God Realm. The place had been a strong temptation for Patriarch Xuan Tian, but he had never made up his mind to enter. It was because Patriarch Xuan Tian guessed that there might be a terrifying expert in Buzhou Mountain. To obtain treasures and opportunities under the other party¡¯s nose would definitely be dangerous. Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s original plan had been to obtain the treasures in the demon king¡¯s tomb first so that he could become stronger. But now, he had already died in the demon king¡¯s tomb. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. It seemed that the path of cultivators had countless dangers. Fortunately, he was prepared. As long as he was careful enough, no terrifying danger could destroy them. Now, he only needed to wait. When the time was up, he should be able to leave this damn place. God knows if the demon king had woken up or not. Once the terrifying demon king was reborn, there would only be one outcome for everyone, and that was death. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others had to leave the demon king¡¯s tomb before that happened. Otherwise, terrifying things might very well happen. When he thought of this, he led everyone out of the place. Qin Chen already knew the method to leave the demon king¡¯s tomb after refining the memory fragments. Therefore, they were now prepared to leave. Once they did so, they would be safe. But now, Qin Chen and the others encountered another great danger. A terrifying figure had appeared. Its eyes were like dark flames, and the aura it exuded was extremely terrifying. It made the hearts of Qin Chen and the others palpitate. Since such a terrifying existence had appeared, it meant that there had been a change in the demon king¡¯s tomb. When the demon king was successfully reborn, what kind of terrifying things would happen? One could imagine that all the living creatures in the demon king¡¯s tomb would die and be devoured by the demon king. Now, Qin Chen and the others had already made their preparations. The flame-wing beast said, ¡°Be careful. This terrifying existence might have already broken through to the realm above the God Emperor realm.¡± Wouldn¡¯t that make the other party in the same realm as Patriarch Xuan Tian? If another Patriarch Xuan Tian appeared, Qin Chen and the others wouldn¡¯t have the chance to defeat him. Such a terrifying existence was not something they could deal with. When they thought of this, Qin Chen and the others were filled with endless fear. This terrifying existence stared at Qin Chen. Qin Chen could already feel a terrifying pressure falling on him, making it difficult for him to breathe. It was as if a huge mountain was crushing and suppressing him. Qin Chen immediately resisted the pressure and began to circulate his Chaotic Divine Body. His internal organs vibrated, producing a thunderous sound. Such a terrifying phenomenon was unfortunately not enough in front of this terrifying existence. Qin Chen was most likely not enough to deal with the other party. However, he could currently only unleash his full power. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to do so anymore. Thinking of this, fear rose in his heart. In an instant, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor automatically protected its master. It emitted a terrifying light that shocked this terrifying existence. If this continued, it was very likely that Qin Chen would be unable to withstand the other party¡¯s attacks. Qin Chen hurriedly swallowed the leaf of the ancient tree of life in his storage ring. He was not sure if he could withstand the attack of this terrifying existence, even though the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was a terrifying supreme treasure that had consciousness. However, given how terrifying the existence was, Qin Chen simply didn¡¯t know if he could withstand the opponent¡¯s terrifying attack. After all, the other party¡¯s terrifying attack had already reached a peak. A terrifying ray of light shot out from the hand of the existence, instantly sending Qin Chen flying. At that moment, Qin Chen felt as if he had already prepared himself. Such a terrifying attack caused him to vomit blood, and he was about to faint. Chapter 552 - 552 Buddhism Array! 552 Buddhism Array! ¡°Elder King!¡± The flame-wing beast, the big scorpion, and the others roared in anger. The terrifying existence¡¯s attack was truly too ghastly. Even if Qin Chen wanted to resist, he might not have the chance. Moreover, this terrifying existence had already reached such a terrifying realm. Therefore, Qin Chen was currently in a life-and-death situation. If the terrifying existence¡¯s attack was just a bit stronger, it might be able to take Qin Chen¡¯s life. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widened. No one knew how powerful this terrifying existence was, but Qin Chen now knew that the terrifying attack had already made him feel as if he was about to die. If it wasn¡¯t for the leaves of the ancient tree of life and the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, Qin Chen would have died countless times by now. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. As long as he could survive, he would have the courage to take another blow. One had to know that this was no ordinary attack. Qin Chen had escaped death, but he was already on the verge of losing his life. He quickly made himself stronger. At this moment, Qin Chen could feel that his internal organs were about to split apart, but he had already swallowed the leaves from the ancient tree of life. With that, a terrifying vitality in his body started healing his injuries. As long as he didn¡¯t die, he would be able to slowly recover. But now, that terrifying existence had already decided to make a move on Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen felt that he was on the verge of breaking down. If another terrifying attack came, he would probably not be able to take it. At the thought of this, his heart was filled with fear. That terrifying existence unleashed a shocking attack on Qin Chen! Instantly, the sky changed color. An incomparably dazzling light descended. If it landed on Qin Chen, it would probably take his life. With just one attack, Qin Chen was already heavily injured. One more and he would not be able to withstand it. Even if the level 9 God Emperor-realm flame-wing beast blocked the attack, coupled with the true dragon, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and the others, they would still probably die under this attack. After all, the terrifying existence¡¯s attack was just too alarming. Qin Chen could only clench his jaw and step forward. The blinding light instantly tore through the void and landed on Qin Chen¡¯s body, making him almost unable to hold on any longer. Qin Chen had, after all, already suffered serious injuries. It was simply unimaginable for him to face such a terrifying attack. Even he himself did not know if he could withstand it. Thinking of this, he devoured and refined the leaves of the ancient tree of life, relying on the terrifying vitality to recover his injuries while he met with that terrifying attack. Unfortunately, before Qin Chen could react, he was sent flying. He was sent flying for who knows how many miles. Then, he crashed into a stone tablet. Its words were almost all worn out. This terrifying collision did not shatter the terrifying stone tablet. Rather, Qin Chen¡¯s body didn¡¯t even leave a mark on the stone tablet. One must know that Qin Chen had been flying through the air at an extreme speed. Even so, he didn¡¯t leave any marks, which was enough to indicate a problem. There was definitely a big problem with this stone tablet. Moreover, the problem was not ordinary. Following this, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] In other words, he could check in at this extraordinary stone tablet! To think Qin Chen had been struck by the enormous impact and sent flying before landing where the supreme treasure in the demon king¡¯s tomb was. Thinking of this, Qin Chen said frankly, ¡°Check in!¡± [Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in to the stone tablet left behind by an ancient great emperor. You have obtained the Buddha Array!] [Buddha Array: A terrifying array that was refined by an ancient great emperor. It is a one-way teleportation array that ordinary quasi-emperors cannot escape from. It can teleport the target to the Buddha Realm. There, danger lurks everywhere. It is a forbidden land created by the ancient great emperor.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. As long as he could seize the opportunity to teleport that terrifying existence into the Buddha Realm, the crisis in front of them would be resolved. Thinking of this, he became excited. Then, a terrifying array seal appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It was the Buddha Array. This Buddha Array was connected to another death zone, the Buddha Realm. Moreover, it was a one-way teleportation array. That terrifying existence would definitely die without a burial place. Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to obtain such a good treasure. This could already be considered a great killing weapon. Thinking of this, Qin Chen activated the seal in his hand. With this, he could naturally kill that terrifying existence. Even if the other party didn¡¯t die in the Buddha Realm, it couldn¡¯t possibly return to the Divine Illusionary Realm. It was equivalent to exile. In this way, it would solve the urgent problem of Qin Chen and the others. Everyone was extremely worried. At this moment, no one knew if Qin Chen was dead or alive. They were furious. They wanted to use their strength to make this terrifying existence pay the price even if they had to die. However, how could this terrifying existence give everyone the chance to hurt it? Its cultivation was on par with Patriarch Xuan Tian. The terrifying existence was extremely vigilant at this moment because it could feel a terrifying aura locking onto it. In an instant, the world changed drastically. A terrifying array power appeared, as dazzling as lightning! Boundless array power fell on the terrifying existence like torrential rain. It couldn¡¯t break free and was actually pulled into the array by a huge suction force. Before this terrifying existence could react, a door opened. This door was like an illusion, but it emitted a terrifying aura. If this terrifying existence was sucked into it, what awaited it would naturally not be a good ending. Qin Chen smiled. With this, there was no chance for the terrifying existence to survive. The terrifying existence could also feel that the world behind the door would result in its death. The threat was too terrifying. ¡°Roar!¡± It let out a furious roar. Chapter 553 - 553 Demon Kings Nirvana 553 Demon King¡¯s Nirvana However, there was nothing the terrifying existence could do. No matter how unwilling it was, it couldn¡¯t possibly survive it had already been pulled into that door. The terrifying existence would die one day. Qin Chen burst into laughter and fell to the ground. He had succeeded. That terrifying existence had no chance of survival. It couldn¡¯t appear before Qin Chen and the others again. At this moment, Qin Chen had taken a blow from this terrifying existence, his injuries had completely acted up. He fell in front of the stone tablet. This stone tablet was no ordinary object. It was actually emitting a faint light. Some kind of powerful remnant divinity was entering Qin Chen¡¯s body. Qin Chen fully relaxed. After all, even if he fainted, he wouldn¡¯t have anything to worry about. Unless the demon king in the demon king¡¯s tomb returned after nirvana, otherwise, nothing would happen. With that, Qin Chen lost consciousness. Everyone was shocked. They could not imagine what had happened and why the terrifying existence had suddenly disappeared. How terrifying was the place behind that terrifying door? They could feel the terrifying aura behind the door and almost couldn¡¯t hold on. Everyone immediately rushed over and saw that Qin Chen had already fainted. Fortunately, Qin Chen had already swallowed the leaf of the ancient tree of life. In other words, as long as nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to live. Thinking of this, everyone immediately stood in front of Qin Chen, protecting him. If any danger appeared, they could help him block it. Even if they couldn¡¯t block it, they couldn¡¯t let him die in front of them. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s mind was wandering. He didn¡¯t know why such a thing would happen. He felt like he was about to suffocate. It was at this moment that he finally realized that there was some kind of powerful divinity remnant on the extraordinary stone tablet. That was why he was able to live until now. It was precisely the power of this powerful divinity remnant that allowed Qin Chen to enter this state. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with dread. What kind of divinity was this? Would it cause him any hidden dangers after entering his body? What if it was a trump card left behind by some powerful existence? Wouldn¡¯t that be pushing him into the fire pit and making him a chess piece? With that, Qin Chen wanted to make his consciousness return to his body. Unfortunately, before he had the time to do anything, the terrifying divinity energy made him witness a terrifying scene in this state. Qin Chen could suddenly sense all the living beings in the demon king¡¯s tomb. He could even sense that the terrifying invincible demon king was indeed still alive. Rather, the other party was already at the final stage of nirvana. If the demon king really reached nirvana, all the living beings who entered the demon king¡¯s tomb had the possibility of dying. That was why Qin Chen¡¯s heart was palpitating so much now. He had to leave with everyone as soon as possible. With that, Qin Chen returned to his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw everyone protecting him. When the big scorpion and the others saw that Qin Chen had recovered, they didn¡¯t know what to say. Just now, Qin Chen had taken two attacks from that terrifying existence, so they were still worried. That being said, as long as Qin Chen could recover, he would be stronger than anything else. ¡°Let¡¯s go, hurry up and leave!¡± Qin Chen struggled to get up from the ground. The big scorpion immediately supported him. In that state just now, Qin Chen had already seen that the terrifying demon king was awakening. At the thought of this, his heart was filled with endless fear. He wanted to leave with everyone. If they stayed any longer, they would probably die. Everyone was extremely puzzled, wondering why Qin Chen was so nervous. Could it be that something big was about to happen? Qin Chen hurriedly had everyone tear open the void and cross over, wanting to leave this damned place no matter the price. Otherwise, no one would have had a chance to survive. Although Qin Chen wanted to take the extraordinary stone tablet with him, it was too heavy. He couldn¡¯t do so. Once the invincible demon king succeeded in his nirvana, a massacre would probably befall the entire demon king¡¯s tomb. Unable to take away the extraordinary stone tablet, Qin Chen could only helplessly leave with the others. They could die at any time in this terrifying demon king¡¯s tomb. When they thought of this, they felt a little emotional. After Qin Chen refined Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s memory fragment, he already knew how to leave this terrifying place. It didn¡¯t take long for him to lead everyone to the exit. Looking at the exit, they were very eager. How could they have known before they entered that this terrifying demon king¡¯s tomb would be so dangerous? There was a chance that they had no hope of leaving alive to see the sun. ¡°Leave quickly!¡± Qin Chen knew that the demon king hadn¡¯t died yet. Now was the final moment of the latter¡¯s nirvana. If the demon king succeeded, they would have no chance of surviving. With a bang, the sky changed color, and terrifying fluctuations descended crazily. Such terror caused their hearts to be filled with endless fear. What was going on? ¡°Not good! The demon king is about to reach nirvana!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s face turned pale. He hurriedly ordered everyone to leave the demon king¡¯s tomb. As long as the demon king succeeded in nirvana, even the most powerful existence would probably die in the hands of the other party, let alone them. The demon king¡¯s tomb was the demon king¡¯s territory. Once the various killing intent left behind erupted, the demon king¡¯s tomb would be destroyed. At that point, Qin Chen and the others probably wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to regret it. At the critical moment, everyone finally left this terrifying place. They successfully left the demon king¡¯s tomb. Then, a terrifying roar came from the demon king¡¯s tomb. A terrifying existence the size of a small mountain walked out. He seemed to have just woken up. In an instant, countless living beings in the demon king¡¯s tomb died. The instant these Gods died, the vitality in their bodies was sucked dry, allowing the terrifying being to recover a little of his strength. Chapter 554 - 554 Asking the Vast Land, Who is the Ruler? 554 Asking the Vast Land, Who is the Ruler? However, just this bit of power was not enough to let the terrifying existence recover. This bit of vitality was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. With such terrifying strength, it could be imagined that this demon king had definitely broken through his previous realm. Then, the terrifying existence let out an angry roar, and the entire demon king¡¯s tomb trembled. It could be foreseen that this terrifying existence¡¯s nirvana would very likely cause bloody turmoil in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others had already successfully escaped from the demon king¡¯s tomb. At this moment, everyone was panting heavily. They had once again escaped death. Currently, they were hiding in a valley. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that most of the living beings who entered this time should have died,¡± The big scorpion muttered. He could imagine how terrifying that terrifying demon king would be after he had completed nirvana. When they thought of this, their hearts were filled with endless fear. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Buzhou Mountain.¡± This was Qin Chen¡¯s current thought. They couldn¡¯t snatch some treasures and opportunities from the demon king¡¯s tomb, but there was still a chance that they could get some good fortune from Buzhou Mountain. After all, Qin Chen had seen many treasures on Buzhou Mountain in Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s memory fragments. If they could get their hands on those treasures, their strength would surely improve. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts quickly calmed down. Wherever Qin Chen went, they would follow. With that, Qin Chen brought everyone to Buzhou Mountain. Buzhou Mountain was an ancient land. Even in the Divine Illusionary Realm, only a few existences knew about it. Those who could enter were all extremely powerful. After all, the weaker ones would not be able to withstand the terrifying danger within. They continued moving forward, their hearts filled with anticipation. At this moment, the demon king¡¯s tomb had already undergone earth-shattering changes. The demon king who had awakened from nirvana already knew that some of the treasures in his territory had been taken away. However, he did not care. Why had he left his treasure outside? One of the reasons was to make those experts die here. After they died here, their vitality would turn into nutrients that would allow the demon king to obtain enough power for nirvana. Therefore, he was quite pleased now as he had succeeded in nirvana. Following this, he left the demon king¡¯s tomb. Not long after, countless creatures died, turning into the terrifying nutrients of the demon king, making him stronger and stronger. It didn¡¯t take long for the terrifying demon king to turn some places in the Divine Illusionary Realm into a land of death. Only when a powerful figure acted did the slaughter finally stop. The chaos caused the name of the demon king to reappear in the hearts of the people. Right now, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at an unknown place. They were still quite a distance from Buzhou Mountain. It was hard to imagine how terrifying Buzhou Mountain would be. Along the way, Qin Chen and the others encountered more and more experts. Countless experts seemed to have appeared near Buzhou Mountain, all wanting to get great fortunes there. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten close to Buzhou Mountain. Qin Chen and the others saw many terrifying beings from races that had long disappeared from the nine Heavens, ten lands, and the cosmic. There were even races that they had never seen or heard of before. They were all eye-openers to Qin Chen and the others. Along the way, Qin Chen had already recovered. They weren¡¯t too weak, nor were they extraordinarily strong. After all, among experts, there was always someone who was bound to be stronger. There were even existences stronger than Patriarch Xuan Tian. Qin Chen and the others avoided such existences altogether to avoid being targeted. Though, with their powerful cultivation, such existences wouldn¡¯t want to attack Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at a certain place. This was a place where some human orthodoxies were located. It had countless experts. Here, even the cultivators who were weaker than Qin Chen and the others could exhaust them to death. One could imagine how terrifying the existence in the Divine Illusionary Realm was. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know that they had already attracted the attention of some big shots. One had to know that it had been a long time since someone had entered the Divine Illusionary Realm from the nine Heavens and ten lands or even the cosmic. The appearance of Qin Chen and the others gave rise to some thoughts. They might have a chance to use this matter to enter the nine Heavens and ten lands. In their opinion, the other world definitely had many experts and more resources. If they could enter the other world, they might be able to reach a higher level. Therefore, their gazes had long landed on Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others were clueless about all this. They were still searching for Buzhou Mountain. Finally, they found it. ¡°Soon, we will be able to see Buzhou Mountain.¡± Wherever Qin Chen went, there would definitely be countless opportunities and good fortune. Everyone was excited. They would be able to see Buzhou Mountain soon. The closer they got to Buzhou Mountain, the more likely they would encounter some experts. Some were looking for all kinds of opportunities and fortunes, while some wanted to become stronger. Only by becoming powerful could they have a chance to break through their bottlenecks. Thinking of this, they were also very excited. They watched as experts appeared one after another. It was as if there were experts everywhere. With that, Qin Chen and the others knew that they had come to the right place. Then, they headed toward Buzhou Mountain step by step. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Qin Chen and the others could feel that Buzhou Mountain was extremely extraordinary. Qin Chen had a guess in his heart. There must be some items that had remnants of powerful divinity within. As long as he could find those items, he would be able to check in and obtain more treasures. If he could obtain some more treasures, it would make him stronger. Following this, they entered Buzhou Mountain. A terrifying aura immediately enveloped everyone. One could imagine how terrifying this terrifying aura was. Qin Chen and the others approached the terrifying aura which came from Buzhou Mountain. It was apparent that there was also a terrifying existence in Buzhou Mountain, and this was only a small part of the terrifying dangers there. ¡°I ask the vast earth, who is the ruler?¡± The big scorpion muttered. Buzhou Mountain was not a place that people wanted to get close to. Qin Chen and the others could only barely make it to the periphery. Chapter 555 - 555 Stone Forest 555 Stone Forest After leaving the demon king¡¯s tomb, they arrived at Buzhou Mountain. It was self-evident how powerful the place was. One could imagine that this terrifying place was definitely not somewhere ordinary people could approach. It contained extreme terrors. Qin Chen saw from Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s memory fragments that this place was not a good place to go. Although there were powerful fortunes and opportunities, it was not a place that ordinary people could approach. One could easily die. Even the most powerful existence might have to pay the price with their lives. Thinking of this, Qin Chen still smiled. No matter what, he had to come to Buzhou Mountain. This was because they didn¡¯t have much time left. It wouldn¡¯t be long before chaos descended in the nine Heavens and ten lands and the cosmic. If Qin Chen did not have enough strength upon return, not only would the Great Qin Dynasty and the Taiyi Holy Land suffer, but he might also die. After all, this was reality. He had already offended too many existences. After the world¡¯s great change, calamities would arise in the nine Heavens and ten lands, and it would definitely cause great turmoil. Let alone Qin Chen, even the most powerful and terrifying existences could die. Those existences and old undyings who had lived till now would all appear. Before Qin Chen and the others entered the Divine Illusionary Realm, terrifying existences had already started appearing. It was just that most of them had not recovered to their peak. However, even though they had not recovered to their peak, Qin Chen was still like an ant. As long as the other party made a move, they would all die very quickly. This was like a huge stone pressing down on Qin Chen¡¯s heart, making him feel as if he was about to suffocate. And now, they had no other choice but to take the risk. If there were other ways to become stronger, increase his strength and cultivation, and obtain great fortune and opportunities, Qin Chen would definitely not choose to take such a risk. After all, this was simply throwing his life away. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already arrived at the periphery of Buzhou Mountain. With their current strength, even if they entered the depths of Buzhou Mountain, they would only die. After all, there were many powerful beings in Buzhou Mountain. Once those powerful existences made a move, survival would probably not be a choice and they would all be at the other party¡¯s mercy. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others became cautious. There were no rules in this place. As long as one was strong enough, let alone snatching something directly, it was not rare for experts to even kill and rob. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others only had one goal, and that was to find some opportunities in the periphery to make themselves stronger. As long as they became stronger, they would have the chance and confidence to enter the depths of Buzhou Mountain. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already encountered countless existences outside Buzhou Mountain, both strong and weak. Some experts only needed to raise their hands to turn Qin Chen and the others into ashes. Some of the weaker ones were even more fragile than them. Most of them did not have any trump cards. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have come to the periphery of Buzhou Mountain. Only by constantly searching for great fortunes and opportunities could they become stronger. Therefore, Qin Chen only had one goal now, and that was to search for great fortunes and opportunities. Only by finding enough great fortunes and opportunities could they become stronger. At that time, no one would be able to easily threaten them. With that, Qin Chen and the others moved forward. Only by finding enough opportunities and treasures could they become stronger. They continued searching. Many experts had obtained great fortunes in the periphery of Buzhou Mountain. If Qin Chen and the others wanted to obtain great fortunes and opportunities, they would probably have to pay a high price. Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t possibly obtain anything. Right now, Qin Chen and the others were moving forward. Only by obtaining enough treasures could they become stronger. Soon, Qin Chen and the others arrived at the outer perimeter of the mountain. However, even the outer area was also very dangerous. Along the way, they encountered countless restrictions. Most of them had already been triggered, but some of these terrifying restrictions were still intact, emitting terrifying fluctuations. It was very possible that if Qin Chen and the others were not careful, someone amongst them would die immediately. Not too long later, they arrived in front of a terrifying stone forest. One couldn¡¯t fly in this large stone forest. With the powerful restriction, as long as one had the courage to fly, one would probably die immediately. The current Qin Chen wasn¡¯t that strong yet. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others moved forward carefully. They didn¡¯t dare to relax at all. This place wasn¡¯t a place where just anyone could survive. Qin Chen didn¡¯t stop moving forward. Soon, they were in the stone forest. There were too many terrifying dangers in the stone forest. God knows how many terrifying existences there were here. Those existences were also moving forward, wanting to find great fortunes and opportunities. Qin Chen and the others soon encountered an expert. There were still fresh blood stains on the expert who looked like he was about to die. There was nothing the other party could do but run. Behind this expert were a few other experts who were chasing after him. If they could not catch the other party, there would probably only be one outcome for them, and that was death. This was because this expert had killed their young master a few days before he fled. If they let this fellow escape, they might die without a burial place. There was no kindness in Buzhou Mountain. Qin Chen and the others were trembling. The terrifying aura emitted by these experts almost suffocated them. They could only wait for these experts to leave. ¡°How terrifying!¡± Even the flame-wing beast almost felt the aura of death from the gazes of those experts just now. Chapter 556 - 556 Heaven-Grade Treasure 556 Heaven-Grade Treasure Fortunately, those terrifying experts left and did not stay any longer. The most important thing for them was not to be caught. Qin Chen let out a breath. Thank God those guys had chased their targets. Qin Chen and the others continued forward. ¡°How terrifying.¡± The big scorpion was feeling unwell. He had never imagined that such a powerful existence would appear around them. Such terrifying experts were very difficult to find in the nine Heavens and ten lands, but here, Qin Chen and the others felt that they were everywhere. No matter how terrifying an expert was, there would always be existences that were even more terrifying than them. Qin Chen even suspected that there might be existences comparable to ancient great emperors in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Such a terrifying existence was extremely rare. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt extremely fearful. Logically speaking, the Divine Illusionary Realm did not belong to the nine Heavens, ten lands, or the cosmic. As such, there really was a possibility that an existence comparable to an ancient great emperor would be around. Bang! A terrifying explosion sounded. Qin Chen and the others saw that the fleeing cultivator was forced to self-destruct. At the same time, a streak of light rapidly approached Qin Chen and the others. It was self-evident how precious something that even such a terrifying expert was unwilling to let go at his death was. It was very likely to be a great opportunity. If Qin Chen could get it, it would obviously make him extremely excited. Unfortunately, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t have such a possibility. Yet, right at that moment, that light approached Qin Chen and the others like a rainbow! Qin Chen¡¯s heart began to race. One had to know that this treasure was extremely rare. Immediately after, Qin Chen saw those terrifying experts turn around, wanting to catch up to the rare treasure. ¡°Hurry up and chase!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a heaven-grade treasure! If we lose that treasure, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± The young master of these experts had already died. If they couldn¡¯t even bring this heaven-grade treasure back, death would probably be their only outcome. Although Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what the ¡°heaven-grade treasure¡± these experts were talking about was, they knew that it was definitely something good! One could imagine how precious something that could even make these few experts chase after it so crazily was. If this heaven-grade treasure didn¡¯t appear in front of Qin Chen, he wouldn¡¯t even have thought about obtaining it. But now, since the heaven-grade treasure was already flying towards him, Qin Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He decided to give it a try! With that, Qin Chen immediately sent a voice transmission to the flame-wing beast, telling the latter to tear open the void and prepare to cross it. He watched as the stream of light flew toward him. Everyone was quite flustered. If they took the treasure away, those experts would definitely not let them off. But now, since Qin Chen had the guts to snatch the treasure right under the noses of these experts, he would definitely go all out. Therefore, Qin Chen made a move frankly. Instantly, he sent out his divine power to retrieve the extremely precious treasure. Unexpectedly, the terrifying treasure didn¡¯t even need Qin Chen to use his divine power to absorb it. It flew straight into his hand. Qin Chen was greatly surprised. To think such a terrifying heaven-grade treasure flew towards him. This was something that Qin Chen had never expected. He was ultimately excited. Since this was the case, didn¡¯t this mean that this was heaven¡¯s will? The heaven-grade treasure had chosen him. The few experts who saw this scene immediately went into a riot. What was going on? If this heaven-grade treasure fell into the hands of other cultivators, they would definitely die without a burial place. At that time, even if they regretted it, it would be too late. Following this, Qin Chen made his move and absorbed the stream of light into his body. He had never expected that the heaven-grade treasure would choose him. Even Qin Chen himself couldn¡¯t explain why. The few experts who saw this were about to go mad with fury. ¡°Stop!¡± Qin Chen simply smiled. It was impossible for him to spit out what he had swallowed. With that, Qin Chen put it away. The terrifying experts were about to go completely berserk. How could this weakling have the guts to do so? Even if he escaped to the ends of the earth, he could forget about living! At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were beating wildly. One had to know that their current state was tantamount to courting death! If these terrifying experts chose to attack them, they would have no chance of survival at all. But now that Qin Chen had already made his move, they had no other choice. If they couldn¡¯t live, they could only die. Qin Chen then looked at the flame-wing beast. The flame-wing beast was a level 9 God Emperor-realm expert, after all. At this moment, although its heart was also greatly shaken, it still hurriedly tore open the void! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen roared. Everyone then entered the spatial rift and prepared to cross it. Qin Chen was the last to enter the spatial crack. The heaven-grade treasure had been too fast, so those terrifying existences had no chance of catching up. Thanks to that, Qin Chen and the others managed to enter the void safely. Qin Chen didn¡¯t turn his head for even a moment, because he knew that if he did, he might die. He was also gambling, placing his bet on the possibility that those terrifying existences could not catch up to them. After that, everyone appeared in another special place. Qin Chen discovered a problem. In that instant just now, it was as if they had been sucked into something. This terrifying attraction force made Qin Chen and the others enter this place. Thinking of this, Qin Chen cast his gaze around. The surroundings were desolate. ¡°We¡¯re still at Buzhou Mountain!¡± According to the distance they traveled through the void, they should have left Buzhou Mountain. But now, they had stopped somewhere ahead of time and appeared in this godforsaken place. Logically thinking, this damned place was probably still within the range of Buzhou Mountain. Could it be that they couldn¡¯t get out even if they tore open the void on Buzhou Mountain? Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked around. The others were also at a loss. What was this place? Why were they here? Perhaps they had to find the answers to these questions. With that, Qin Chen walked forward. Chapter 557 - 557 Netherworld Road 557 Netherworld Road A river appeared in front of them. The water looked like yellow sand. No one knew how deep the water was. Qin Chen walked forward, wanting to see what was wrong with the yellow sand-like river. The reason why they were here was definitely related to this yellow sand-like river. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately moved forward. He did not expect that he would discover something unexpected. When he stopped, he noticed that everyone had actually followed him for a long distance. ¡°Shit!¡± There was a problem! And it was a big problem! Qin Chen suddenly understood that the yellow sand-like river had some sort of magical power that would attract people to approach it. Even the level 9 God Emperor flame-wing beast which was only one step away from breaking through was affected. Its eyes were struggling, seemingly having realized that something was wrong. However, it could not stop its body at all. It was as if it was being controlled. Qin Chen then struck out with his weapons, piercing through everyone¡¯s feet. This was the only way to stop them from moving forward. At this moment, Qin Chen felt as if he was being attracted once again. His eyes seemed to be in a daze as he wanted to get closer to the yellow sand-like river again. Qin Chen bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to wake up. This pain gave him the possibility of escaping in an instant. Then, a third eye appeared between his brows. The eye seemed illusory as it shot out a black light. ¡°Netherworld Eye!¡± This terrifying eye instantly saw through the yellow sand-like river. Under the yellow sand-like river were countless white skeletons. These skeletons were probably creatures that had been here before and were drawn into the river. In the end, all that was left were their skeletons, lying at the bottom of the river forever. ¡°Netherworld Road!¡± Qin Chen suddenly recalled the legend of the Netherworld Road. It was said that the Netherworld Road could send people through the netherworld. Now, something seemed to have changed on the Netherworld Road. Otherwise, it would not have been so dangerous. When he thought of this, fear rose in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. He was at a loss for words. The current him had no chance of resisting. If he was not careful, he might die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo and stabbed it into the back of his foot. Blood immediately flowed out. The innate sword embryo nailed him to the ground. Even Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if he could continue forward because if he did, he might die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen made up his mind. The intense pain from his foot made him somewhat sober up. He originally thought that they had already escaped the pursuit of the terrifying experts. But now, they had accidentally entered this damned place where there was the Netherworld Road. This Netherworld Road was definitely not the one Qin Chen had heard of. Right now, he could only think of ways to escape. At this point, everyone had been pinned to the ground by Qin Chen. This was the only way to save their lives. Currently, he was clueless about the way to escape. Then, his body actually emitted light. Under the light, Qin Chen felt as if he had already escaped from the terrifying Netherworld Road. Only now did he have the chance to take a look at the heaven-grade treasure he had obtained. As Qin Chen looked at the glowing thing in his body, he gasped in surprise. It was actually a beast tooth. It was thanks to this beast tooth that he had been able to temporarily resist the terrifying attraction of the Netherworld Road. ¡°What is this?¡± Qin Chen had never heard of any treasure that could resist the Netherworld Road. He was now no longer affected by the attraction of the Netherworld Road under the light of the glowing beast tooth. Therefore, he could move freely now. Qin Chen pulled out the innate sword embryo from his foot. Only by doing so could he save everyone. God knows how they had fallen into the trap and almost entered the Netherworld Road. Thinking of this, Qin Chen started to move, walking toward the crowd. It was worth mentioning that he was no longer affected by the attraction of the Netherworld Road, and as such, he was not afraid at all. Immediately after Qin Chen arrived next to the flame-wing beast and instantly knocked it out with a palm strike. If the other party fainted, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. Then, Qin Chen continued forward. It didn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to throw the flame-wing beast toward the direction they came from. Only in the place where they came from would the attraction of the Netherworld Road be reduced. After that, Qin Chen continued to make his move. He knocked out the big scorpion and the others one by one and threw them out. ¡°Hu hu hu¡­¡± Qin Chen panted heavily. This was because he could feel that the heaven-grade treasure in his body, the glowing beast tooth, seemed to be about to die. The light emitted by the beast tooth was getting fainter. He would ultimately be unable to resist the attraction of the Netherworld Road. Therefore, Qin Chen seized the opportunity to tear the void apart, preparing to bring the unconscious people across the void. Currently, he still had quite a bit of divine power in his body. It was not difficult for him to tear the void and bring everyone across. God knows if there was any possibility of leaving this place though. As long as they could leave, Qin Chen and the others would have a chance to survive. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would all die here. Fortunately, although Qin Chen¡¯s heart was beating fast, he was already prepared. Instantly, the scenery in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes changed. This time, they crossed the void and were not drawn back to the Netherworld Road. This meant that they might be able to escape. Only now, after leaving that desolate Netherworld Road, did Qin Chen finally heave a sigh of relief. This meant that they could survive. It didn¡¯t take long for everyone to wake up. When they saw the wounds on their bodies, they understood. Without Qin Chen, they might not have even known how they died. But now, they were still alive. Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to set foot on that Netherworld Road anymore. It almost drove him crazy. Qin Chen himself had never thought that he could rely on that beast tooth to survive. Without it, they might all have died. Qin Chen looked into the distance. This place was okay since there were no terrifying dangers. Chapter 558 - 558 Bronze Door 558 Bronze Door Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what other uses this heaven-grade treasure had. However, since this beast tooth could help him escape from the Netherworld Road, it must be extraordinary. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the beast tooth. Unfortunately, the beast tooth seemed to have exhausted all its energy. It was no longer shining like before. In other words, this treasure might no longer have any power. At the very least, it was impossible for Qin Chen to get close to the Netherworld Road without being attracted again. After that, Qin Chen walked over and looked around. The surroundings seemed to have changed. Qin Chen and the others felt that time was passing very slowly. This was exactly the same as what they had encountered in the star field in the cosmic. Terrifying accidents might occur here. If they were trapped in the passage of time that had obviously been slowed down, it would be equivalent to a death sentence. However, Qin Chen could feel that he shouldn¡¯t be that unlucky. Then, everyone came to their senses. This was Buzhou Mountain. How could it be so similar to the Tranquil Land in the cosmic? This made everyone feel quite apprehensive. Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body with all his might. Instantly, the heavens rumbled. Then, he took another step forward and directly walked out of the place. Following this, he fished everyone out one by one. This was something that even the level 9 God Emperor-realm flame-wing beast could not do. Yet, Qin Chen was able to do it. He had walked straight out of the slow passage of time. The flame-wing beast looked at Qin Chen. If this human Elder King did not die young, his future would be unimaginable. When the flame-wing beast first met Qin Chen, the latter had been very weak. He had advanced step by step until now, and now, he had almost become the backbone of everyone. Even the flame-wing beast couldn¡¯t help but admire Qin Chen. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen then walked forward step by step. He let the Jiuying¡¯s divine soul scout the road ahead to see if there would be any terrifying places where the passage of time would speed up or slow down. Then, he continued moving forward, wanting to see what was in front. They were now in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, somewhere they hadn¡¯t imagined they could come. Perhaps this was luck. By chance, everyone had arrived here. If they chose to retreat, they would only be targeted by those terrifying existences. After all, those terrifying existences were wandering around the periphery of Buzhou Mountain. If Qin Chen and the others returned, they would definitely bump into them. Thinking of this, everyone made up their minds. They continued to move toward the depths of Buzhou Mountain. Only then would they not be caught. Otherwise, he might be caught up by those after them. After an unknown amount of time, everyone was already quite close to their destination. God knows how terrifying this Buzhou Mountain was. Qin Chen walked into the depths step by step. Then, before he could react, the Jiuying divine soul was attracted over. Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness was now connected to the Jiuying divine soul. He looked ahead. As expected, there was a terrifying place there. He was surprised to see a door that was made of bronze. The fact that it could appear in the depths of Buzhou Mountain was enough to show how extraordinary this bronze door was. It was very likely it hid something. After that, Qin Chen recalled the Jiuying divine soul. It was not a problem for him to retrieve the Jiuying divine soul as long as it was not too far away. Qin Chen looked at the bronze door. There were dense runes on the bronze door. No one knew what the densely packed runes on it were or what their use was. It did not take long before he arrived in front of the bronze door. Everyone felt something in their hearts, but unfortunately, they could not find anything. Not too long later, Qin Chen brought everyone to the bronze door. He wondered why the bronze door could attract his Jiuying divine soul. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt some apprehension in his heart. However, when he approached the bronze door, it slowly opened on its own. It was as if the door had noticed Qin Chen and the others. When the bronze door opened, it seemed as if space itself was bent. To be able to distort space, one could imagine what terrifying things were behind this terrifying bronze door. However, there was no way they could turn back now. Even if there was a bottomless abyss in front of them, they could not take a step back. With that, they approached the bronze door step by step. Qin Chen¡¯s interest was piqued. He wanted to see what kind of terrifying existence was inside this bronze door. Just the aura and pressure that it emitted were already so terrifying. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. As long as he could get closer, he would be able to see what kind of terrifying existence was behind the bronze door. Everyone quickly approached, wanting to see what was in the bronze door. Qin Chen approached the door, curious as to the treasures hidden in the bronze door. Unfortunately, before he could react, he was directly pulled into the bronze door by a ray of light. ¡°Elder King!¡± Before everyone came to their senses, they were pulled into the bronze door by the light as well! God knows what kind of terrifying existence was inside the bronze door. After a moment of dizziness, everyone was in the world behind the bronze door. This place could almost be considered a small world, an existence similar to a secret realm. If they wanted to break open the secret realm, they would probably have to find the mysteries in this small world. Otherwise, they would probably not be able to leave at all. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen led the group and explored step by step. He had no idea what to do. A terrifying fluctuation was coming from this place, making Qin Chen¡¯s heart tremble. This was something unimaginable to him, yet it was reality. The world behind the bronze door was as such. Then, Qin Chen said, ¡°Everyone, be careful!¡± After all, anything could happen behind the bronze door. No one knew what would happen in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. Then, Qin Chen walked over step by step. Boom! A loud sound came from somewhere. It made Qin Chen and the others extremely fearful. Chapter 559 - 559 Seed 559 Seed Qin Chen had no idea what was behind the bronze door. Everyone else was equally clueless. However, since it could appear in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, it must be an extremely dangerous place. Qin Chen and the others took a deep breath and made their preparations. They entered the bronze door with an indomitable will. They wanted to see what was inside the bronze door. In Buzhou Mountain were some unknown and powerful things. It was very likely that there was a great terror behind this bronze door. That being said, what Qin Chen and the others needed right now was great fortune and opportunities to increase their strength. Only by becoming stronger could they possibly resist the variables in the future. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others entered the bronze door. This bronze door emitted terrifying pressure, making people deem it terrifying. There might be some special place behind this bronze door. Ordinary cultivators usually couldn¡¯t enter such places. If they were not careful, they might lose their lives. Qin Chen entered step by step, and everyone followed behind him. If they were in the nine Heavens and ten lands or even the cosmic, they could be deemed to have reached an extremely powerful level. However, in the Divine Illusionary Realm, they could not even compare to some average experts. Qin Chen even suspected that there should be supreme experts comparable to ancient great emperors in the Divine Illusionary Realm, though he had never heard of one yet. If such an expert was really alive, there would probably be clues that could be found. After an unknown period, Qin Chen and the others had already traveled a thousand miles in the world behind the bronze door. Lights appeared in front of them. It was as if this was another world. Qin Chen and the others could sense that this place was extraordinary. It seemed that the spiritual energy had been exhausted. ¡°The law power in this place is extraordinary!¡± The big scorpion discovered that he couldn¡¯t use his law power here. As expected, all kinds of changes had already occurred. It was just that Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how to describe the changes. The divine power in their bodies was slowly disappearing at every passing minute. By the time their divine power was all gone, they would probably not be able to leave this place. ¡°So this is the world behind the bronze door?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with vigilance. He didn¡¯t know what else would appear in this godforsaken place. If a terrifying existence appeared at this time, they would all die here. They walked out of the passageway behind the bronze door. At this point, they had yet to see what was so terrifying about this place. When everyone landed, only then did they notice that more and more cracks had appeared on the ground. It was as if this world was about to be destroyed. This caused everyone¡¯s hearts to be filled with endless terror. Fortunately, they could return through the path connected to the bronze door at any time. As far as their eyes could see, all they saw were ruins. Judging from the ruins, it was as if the place had been on the verge of destruction after experiencing a great battle. What kind of terrifying existence could have brought about such a terrifying war and turned the world into this state? Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t even imagine it. It seemed like no living being had entered the ruins for a long time. Perhaps Qin Chen and the others were the first. Currently, there wasn¡¯t much danger. Most of the dangers, even if they existed, had disappeared with time. Qin Chen and the others could only feel that the law power in this place was extraordinary. It seemed to have become a different kind of existence. With so many ruins, what kind of place could this be? Even if there were living beings that could survive back then, most of them would have died long ago. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others were the only living beings here. Qin Chen walked forward step by step. He had never thought that there would be so many ruins here. This place should have been quite glorious in the past, but unfortunately, its glory was destined to end. This also meant that this place was not somewhere good. At the very least, it should be impossible to find any great opportunities or good fortune here. Qin Chen kept walking forward. Everyone was vigilant as to what might appear in the surroundings. After an unknown period, they finally arrived at a building that could still be vaguely recognized as a palace. There were complicated patterns on the palace, making it look like an ancient building. Qin Chen walked forward step by step and pushed open the dusty door. There was a huge tree behind the door. The tree was enormous. At least, it was so big that they lost all sense of its enormity. It was almost rooted in the palace. The reason why this palace could be preserved was also because of this big tree. ¡°This tree is already dead.¡± Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t sense any life force from the tree. It seemed that it had long died. As everyone entered the palace, the big scorpion couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He kept searching, wanting to see what was inside the palace. Was there any possibility of a treasure? Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed. Everything in the palace had been turned into ashes. Nothing existed. Qin Chen and the others could also tell that the world behind the bronze door should have existed for quite some time. Otherwise, it would not have been like this. The big scorpion kept going deeper and deeper before finally letting out a cry of surprise. Qin Chen and the others hurried over, only to discover that the big scorpion was frozen in place. In front of him was a brown fruit that was emitting light. ¡°Could this be the seed of this tree?¡± Qin Chen was also extremely surprised. It was still emitting light, which meant that this seed should be able to germinate and grow again. Qin Chen opened his hands and absorbed the light. When the seed landed on his hand, the light it emitted also dissipated. He didn¡¯t know what this tree was, but to be able to protect this palace until now, it was quite apparent that the tree was extraordinary. If he could revive this seed, he might be able to obtain a terrifying divine tree. After that, Qin Chen continued to move forward. After some time, he finally recovered from his trance. He kept the seed. There shouldn¡¯t be anything else in the ruins. With that, Qin Chen and the others wanted to leave this place. However, the earth began to tremble. The palace seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Qin Chen and the others hurriedly flew out of the palace. Chapter 560 - 560 Law Storm 560 Law Storm Boom! With a loud bang, the palace that had experienced countless terrifying events finally collapsed. It turned into ruins. This made Qin Chen and the others sigh. On the other hand, where did the terrifying tremor come from? It was quite surprising for Qin Chen and the others. Logically speaking, it was impossible for any terrifying existence to appear in this place. After all, there were no living beings in the world behind the bronze door. And now, to think it had become like this. Everyone could not help but sigh in their hearts. Qin Chen immediately extended his spiritual will, wanting to see clearly what kind of terror existed in the outside world. However, after he did so, he was completely shocked. This was because the terrifying vibration did not come from a terrifying living being, but from the condensation of a terrifying law power. This terrifying law power had turned into a storm and was surging toward them. ¡°This is probably the power left behind by the experts from the great battle back then. It has erupted into a terrifying aura.¡± Only in this way could it become so terrifying. Qin Chen and the others realized that it was impossible for them to resist the terrifying energy with their own strength. Run! Otherwise, they would all die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly led everyone away, ¡°Run!¡± At this point, the terrifying storm of law power was not too far away from them. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t have made the palace collapse. After the terrifying law power erupted, the ruins turned into yellow dust. This apocalyptic scene almost made everyone¡¯s souls leave their bodies. If they did not leave quickly, they might die immediately. Thinking of this, everyone quickly left without any hesitation. Unfortunately, the terrifying law power was rushing toward them. Qin Chen and the others kept moving forward, wanting to escape from the terrifying scene. They were not far away from the passage built by the bronze door. Otherwise, no matter how fast they fled, they might be directly devoured by the terrifying storm of law power. There were too many laws in the terrifying storm of law power, all left behind by the experts of the past. There was nothing else they could do. After all, this terrifying storm of law power was an inanimate object. No matter how powerful Qin Chen and the others were, they were simply unable to resist it. In the face of the terrifying storm of law power, any living being would be instantly killed, ultimately turning into dust and disappearing. As Qin Chen and the others continued to walk forward, everyone started to feel suffocated. This was because the divine power in their bodies was rapidly dissipating. When the divine power in their bodies was all gone, they would be caught up by the storm formed by the terrifying law power. With that, Qin Chen and the others took out natural treasures from their storage rings and consumed them, wanting to recover their divine power. Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t reach the passage built by the bronze door before the divine power in their bodies was all gone. The world behind the bronze door was probably affected by the terrifying law power, which had caused the spiritual energy here to dry up. Thinking of this, Qin Chen moved once again, wanting to get close to the passageway constructed by the bronze door. At this moment, the terrifying storm formed by the law power was still chasing after them. Finally, after an unknown period, everyone arrived at the passage behind the bronze door. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The flame-wing beast and the others entered in a single file, rushing into the passageway constructed by the bronze door. Qin Chen was the last to enter. He witnessed how the storm formed by the terrifying law power bombarded the passage constructed by the bronze door. God knows what terrifying expert had refined this bronze door, but the storm formed by the law power was unable to affect it at all. When Qin Chen and the others came out from the bronze door, their backs were already drenched in a cold sweat. Only after they felt the heaven and earth spiritual energy in Buzhou Mountain did they finally confirm that they had returned to a safe place. Then, they let out a breath of turbid air. They had been a fine line away from being unable to get out. Fortunately, everyone had successfully escaped and did not die in the world behind the bronze door. Qin Chen¡¯s only gain was the seed of the tree in his hand. This seed looked like it could still germinate and grow. It was the only treasure that existed in that world. Being able to come out of the world behind the bronze door alive, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. This made everyone realize how terrifying Buzhou Mountain was. Even a terrifying existence like Patriarch Xuan Tian could not resist the storm formed by the law power in the world behind the bronze door. If they had not realized that the storm formed by the law power was approaching, they might have died. Qin Chen took out the tree seed. This was the only thing that had been brought out from the world behind the bronze door. After being eroded by the storm formed by the terrifying law power, nothing was left. As soon as it came into contact with the spiritual energy of the world, the seed in Qin Chen¡¯s hand seemed to have some activity. Still, the seed had been behind the bronze door for too long. If he wanted the seed to take root and germinate again, this spiritual energy alone was far from enough. Unless Qin Chen could find some treasure with great vitality, it would be possible for the seed to take root and germinate. After that, Qin Chen put the seed away and continued to move forward with the others. In the depths of Buzhou Mountain, there might be even rarer treasures and opportunities ahead. If Qin Chen and the others wanted to become stronger, they could only continue to risk their lives like this. Otherwise, they might die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Even if there were more terrifying things ahead, he had to move forward. Because only by obtaining opportunities and good fortune could they become stronger. It was unknown what changes had taken place in the cosmic. Qin Chen and the others had to hurry up. They had been staying in the Divine Illusionary Realm and had no idea what had and would happen in the outside world. Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to wait until he returned to find that there was already a terrifying existence that had laid down an inescapable net waiting for him to return. One had to know that he had offended many experts. If it was an ordinary expert in his shoes, they would have chosen to stay in the Divine Illusionary Realm forever. After all, if he returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands, he might die. Chapter 561 - 561 Ouyang Gui 561 Ouyang Gui Qin Chen and the others took one last look at the bronze door. For some reason, the bronze door gave them the same feeling. It was as if it had a life of its own. Qin Chen moved forward, and everyone followed him. Now that they had come to the depths of Buzhou Mountain, it would be unreasonable if they didn¡¯t get some treasures and fortunes. Qin Chen and the others continued forward. After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a gloomy place. A figure appeared in front of them. This figure sat cross-legged on the ground. No one knew whether he was dead or alive. Qin Chen and the others slowly approached. They did not know if this figure was a terrifying existence. When they got close, they realized that the figure was breathing. Even though the other party¡¯s breathing was very weak, it also meant that he was not dead. Why was he here? Could it be that he had also been to the world behind the bronze door? As if he could feel that living beings had come, the figure opened his eyes shakily. His eyebrows were already snow-white, and there were only some sparse white hairs on his head. It looked like he was about to reach the end of his life. If this continued, God knows if he could survive or how long he could live. Since he was already in his twilight years, why did he still enter Buzhou Mountain and even appear here? Could it be¡­ Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up as he thought. The old man¡¯s appearance made it likely that the reason why he was here was due to the existence of a great fortune here that could allow him to break through or extend his lifespan. All sorts of guesses made Qin Chen¡¯s eyes widen. If this was the case, it meant that they had come to the right place. Moreover, the treasures and fortunes in this place should not have been taken away by other experts. Otherwise, this old man would have left long ago. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± The old man coughed twice and his body trembled violently. He also knew that he did not have much time left. It would not be long before he passed away here. At that time, no matter how glorious or regretful his life was, it would all turn into dust. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. He would be gone with the wind. Qin Chen and the others were obviously on guard. To be able to live until now, this old fellow was probably not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, they were on guard. ¡°How did you guys get in?¡± The old man asked. He seemed to be puzzled. After all, Qin Chen and the others were too weak. Shouldn¡¯t they have long died? ¡°To enter this place, one has to pass through the Heavenly God Road. Ordinary people simply can¡¯t do that. I should have been trapped here for ten thousand years.¡± ¡°Heavenly God Road?¡± Qin Chen had no idea what the Heavenly God Road was. They had come here by entering directly. At this moment, Qin Chen was somewhat puzzled. He thought of a problem. He had never thought that this old man had been trapped here for ten thousand years. Could it be that they were trapped here as well? This old man did not look like an ordinary person. He must have extraordinary methods. After some time, Qin Chen smiled. Since the old man had been trapped here for so long, perhaps he might know how to get out. ¡°Did you come here by mistake?¡± The old man was extremely shocked. He went through many hardships before he managed to enter this place 10,000 years ago. He did not expect that these juniors could enter directly. Could it be another exit? However, the light in the old man¡¯s eyes extinguished silently. He did not have much time left before he would be gone from this world. It was impossible for him to survive. Thinking of this, he turned to Qin Chen and the others and said, ¡°Originally, I didn¡¯t want to leave. I wanted you to help me find the divine evil bamboo. Unfortunately, you are too weak. It¡¯s impossible. A heaven-grade treasure called the divine evil bamboo is here, but it¡¯s very difficult to get. It¡¯s basically impossible.¡± Qin Chen and the others were simply too weak. It was impossible for them to have any chance of obtaining it. After all, the divine evil bamboo was extremely powerful. To obtain it, one had to break the sky screen. The divine evil bamboo was behind the sky screen. The old man continued as he pointed ahead, ¡°That is the sky screen.¡± Only by breaking through the sky screen could one possibly obtain the bamboo. Qin Chen looked over and shot out a beam of energy. The sky screen was overlapping, seemingly non-existent. However, it immediately dissipated this energy. The divine evil bamboo¡¯s shadow could be seen behind it. Qin Chen and the others could vaguely see that the divine evil bamboo was like an illusion. It emitted a gentle glow. The old man coughed again and said after a long time. ¡°I am the supreme elder of the TIansheng Sect, Ouyang Gui. I came to Buzhou Mountain when my life was about to end, wanting to get the divine evil bamboo. After all, it is a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. With the divine evil bamboo, I might be able to break through to the next realm. By then, I¡¯ll be able to live longer. Unfortunately, I failed.¡± Ouyang Gui¡¯s current appearance made everyone sigh endlessly. At his peak state, he could probably kill an existence on the level of Patriarch Xuan Tian in an instant. Unfortunately, Ouyang Gui no longer had any strength left. He simply couldn¡¯t survive. His lifespan was coming to an end, and he was about to reach the end of his time. After some time, Qin Chen smiled. Sky screen? If he gave it a try, he might be able to get the divine evil bamboo. According to Ouyang Gui, the Supreme Elder of the Tiansheng Sect, the divine evil bamboo is a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. It is one of the best treasures in Buzhou Mountain. If Qin Chen could get his hands on it, it would allow Qin Chen and the others to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds. Qin Chen was still cautious though. He asked Ouyang Gui, ¡°Senior, is there any danger in the sky screen ahead?¡± Ouyang Gui slowly said, ¡°The sky screen itself is not dangerous. Most importantly, as soon as we get close to the sky screen, we might alert the divine evil bamboo. If that happens, the bamboo will move.¡± From what Ouyang Gui said, it seemed like there wouldn¡¯t be any danger. However, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t just believe all of the other party¡¯s words. Who knew? He might be tricked by this old thing. ¡°I¡¯ve spent ten thousand years, but I still haven¡¯t found a way to get the divine evil bamboo,¡± Ouyang Gui¡¯s eyes were filled with unwillingness, ¡°There¡¯s only one way to get the divine evil bamboo, and that is to break the sky screen.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. Chapter 562 - 562 Divine Evil Bamboo 562 Divine Evil Bamboo Breaking the sky screen? Wasn¡¯t this a joke? Even a terrifying existence like Ouyang Gui could not break the sky screen. Otherwise, he would be on the verge of dying of old age here. Qin Chen continued to ask, ¡°Senior, you said that you¡¯re trapped here. Could it be that we can¡¯t leave this place either?¡± This was the most important point. If this was somewhere hopeless that could stop them from leaving, then they probably wouldn¡¯t have any hope at all. Ouyang Gui might be their lesson. ¡°Indeed, I can¡¯t leave. The passageway here has been destroyed. It¡¯s equivalent to a one-way passageway. We can only enter and not leave.¡± Therefore, many did not dare to come and look for the divine evil bamboo. After all, although the divine evil bamboo was extremely rare, they would be trapped here and would not be able to escape if they did not obtain it. ¡°If I had gotten the divine evil bamboo, I might have been able to break through to the next realm. Then, I could have blown open the destroyed passageway. It¡¯s a pity that I haven¡¯t been able to get the divine evil bamboo after so long.¡± Ouyang Gui¡¯s heart was filled with unwillingness. What kind of monstrous talent was he? Back then, he was a famous expert in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Countless living beings were terrified of him. To think in his later years, he would be so miserable that he would be trapped here and was about to die. If he could leave, he would not have been trapped here. He could¡¯ve searched for other treasures that could help him break through. Unfortunately, he had been too conceited back then, which led to his current outcome. Then, Qin Chen walked forward step by step, wanting to see if there were any other mysteries in the sky screen. Everyone was worried that the sky screen might hurt Qin Chen. Qin Chen arrived in front of the sky screen and slowly touched it. The sky screen was like a pool as it rippled. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s figure started to become twisted. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t feel any problems at the moment. Then, he walked forward step by step, getting closer to the sky screen. He wanted to touch the divine evil bamboo behind the sky screen. He hadn¡¯t expected that the divine evil bamboo had already noticed his movements. It immediately began to escape. It was extremely fast. Even if Qin Chen wanted to catch up to it, it would be impossible. Qin Chen gritted his teeth and circulated his Chaotic Divine Body. He burst forth with a bang and approached the area. Unfortunately, the divine evil bamboo was just too fast. Even if Qin Chen used his full strength, he was still no match for the divine evil bamboo. In a trance, the divine evil bamboo was only a shadow in the distance. Even if Qin Chen had wings, it was impossible for him to fly over. Qin Chen felt that even if he broke through to the God Emperor realm, he wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up to such a terrifying speed. After that, he began to circulate the acupoints in his body, trying to get closer to the divine evil bamboo. God knows what origins this divine evil bamboo had. Even though he had used all of his power, his speed didn¡¯t seem to have accelerated much. It was most likely a problem with the sky screen. The divine evil bamboo was like a fish in water in the sky screen, while Qin Chen was like a man who had fallen into the water and could only struggle. Fortunately, the divine evil bamboo didn¡¯t attack. If it did, Qin Chen would have died by now. As long as the sky screen wouldn¡¯t cause any harm, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t be afraid. ¡°The only way to get the divine evil bamboo is to break the sky screen.¡± Qin Chen could tell that as long as he was in the sky screen, he would never be able to get the divine evil bamboo even if he spent his entire life. Qin Chen continued to move forward but slowed down. Ouyang Gui had already guessed Qin Chen¡¯s current state. The other party was too weak. Even if these juniors had broken through to the God Emperor realm, it was impossible for them to get the divine evil bamboo. If Ouyang Gui had been a little stronger, he might have been able to break through the sky screen back then. If that had been the case, things wouldn¡¯t have been like this now. Qin Chen fused his spiritual will with the sky screen. With that, he might be able to break the sky screen. Back then, Ouyang Gui had taken the path of breaking the laws with brute force, wanting to use brute force to break the sky screen. However, he was too conceited. He was just a little bit away from breaking the sky screen but never succeeded. Qin Chen was different. Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it. Since the divine evil bamboo could hide in the sky screen, the sky screen could naturally be used to capture it as well. Qin Chen smiled because he seemed to sense that there was a special law contained in the sky screen. As long as he could break this special law, he could then try to control the sky screen. At that time, no matter how fast the divine evil bamboo ran, it could only obediently fall into Qin Chen¡¯s hands. It wasn¡¯t that Ouyang Gui hadn¡¯t tried Qin Chen¡¯s method before. Rather, he had already tried it countless times. When he realized that his strength was simply unable to break the sky screen, he had already attempted to walk this path. It was a pity that he could not break the special law even after 10,000 years. Qin Chen suddenly felt that the law power in the sky entered his body. He was extremely surprised. After all, the law power was the source of the sky screen. The law power entered Qin Chen¡¯s body and fused with the mysterious Great Path of heaven and earth on his bones. The mysterious Great Path of heaven and earth on his bones was something he had obtained after breaking the screen to get his hands on the ancient tree of life. What was the relationship between the screen in the nine Heavens and ten lands and the sky screen in the Divine Illusionary Realm? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know either. And now, the law power in the sky screen had fused with the mysterious heaven and earth Great Path patterns in Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was as if they were one. A smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He reached out his hand and clenched it into a fist. In an instant, the divine evil bamboo that was still far away was grabbed by Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen was actually able to mobilize the power of the sky screen. Everyone was shocked. Ouyang Gui¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°How, how is this possible?!¡± His eyes were filled with disbelief, but this was the reality. Qin Chen, a weak junior, had grabbed the divine evil bamboo. After that, Qin Chen kept pulling back. At this point, the divine evil bamboo was engulfed in the sky screen¡¯s energy and was pulled back. Chapter 563 - 563 A Deal 563 A Deal ¡°This is impossible!¡± Ouyang Gui had completely lost his composure. One had to know that no one in history had been able to crack the secrets of the sky screen. Other than using force to break it, there was no other way. To think he witnessed a human cultivator in the God realm completely fusing with the power of the sky screen. This was simply not something that a human could do. A fiery desire rose in Ouyang Gui¡¯s heart. He wanted the divine evil bamboo. Even though he had already reached the end of his life, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. Besides, Ouyang Gui already knew that his days were numbered. He looked at Qin Chen in the sky and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Junior! I¡¯m willing to trade all kinds of ultimate techniques and treasures for the divine evil bamboo!¡± As long as Qin Chen was still in the sky screen, Ouyang Gui would not be able to control him. If he attacked Qin Chen¡¯s companions now, he would push the latter further away. At that time, he didn¡¯t even need to think about getting the divine evil bamboo! Therefore, Ouyang Gui could only take out all the chips he had in exchange for Qin Chen¡¯s divine evil bamboo. At this moment, Qin Chen had already taken control of the divine evil bamboo. The top-grade heaven-grade treasure was emitting a powerful aura. If he could devour and refine the divine evil bamboo, who knew what realm he could reach? When he saw Qin Chen holding the divine evil bamboo, Ouyang Gui could no longer control himself. As long as Qin Chen was willing to give him the divine evil bamboo, he would give the other party everything he had. He did not want to die! He wanted to live! He was once a prodigy of his generation, defeating many powerful enemies and suppressing them for countless years. It was a pity that time could kill geniuses. No matter how powerful one was, one would eventually die one day. Time would not let anyone off. Qin Chen began to ponder. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to agree to Ouyang Gui¡¯s request. He knew that Ouyang Gui needed the divine evil bamboo. It was the latter¡¯s only hope of survival. Although he was currently in the sky screen, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the flame-wing beast, and the others were still outside. If he rejected Ouyang Gui and caused him to attack everyone, it would be too late for Qin Chen to regret. Ouyang Gui¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. The divine evil bamboo was right in front of his eyes. He wanted to live! ¡°Junior! If you are willing to give me the divine evil bamboo, I will give you everything I have! I can swear a Heavenly Dao oath.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen knew his limits. It seemed that he could only give the divine evil bamboo to the old man. The main thing was that this old fellow was not dead yet, which was enough to pose a fatal threat to Qin Chen. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even though this old fellow was about to reach the end of his life, he didn¡¯t need to expend too much strength to kill Qin Chen. It would be as easy as crushing an ant. ¡°I can¡¯t give you all of it.¡± ¡°I only need a small portion! A small portion! I am willing to swear a Heavenly Dao oath!¡± Ouyang Gui hurriedly said after hearing Qin Chen¡¯s reply. He really couldn¡¯t afford to delay any longer. As a top-grade heaven-grade treasure, the divine evil bamboo was extremely rare in Buzhou Mountain. He only needed a small portion to try to break through. As long as he could break through, he would naturally become stronger and live longer. In the outside world, some thought that Ouyang Gui was dead. But now, he really wanted to live. Ouyang Gui had been in despair for the past ten thousand years, waiting for death to come. He had never expected Qin Chen and the others¡¯ arrival as well as their ability to get the divine evil bamboo. Hearing Ouyang Gui¡¯s words, Qin Chen gripped the divine evil bamboo in his hand. The divine evil bamboo seemed to have some spirituality. It was already in despair, and it seemed to be wailing. Qin Chen broke off a small part of the divine evil bamboo. Afterward, Ouyang Gui threw his storage ring to Qin Chen and swore a Heavenly Dao oath that he would never do anything to Qin Chen. Qin Chen controlled the sky screen and the spatial ring penetrated through before landing on his hand. Then, Qin Chen threw out the small section of the divine evil bamboo that he had broken off. The eyes of the old man, who was already in his twilight years, were burning with passion. His speed was as fast as a great roc. In an instant, he had obtained the small section of the divine evil bamboo. A small section of the divine evil bamboo was enough for Ouyang Gui to make a breakthrough. Ouyang Gui held the divine evil bamboo in his hand and laughed, ¡°Haha! Hahaha! I finally got the divine evil bamboo!¡± He then held it and began to refine it. It didn¡¯t take long for Ouyang Gui to sit cross-legged as his cultivation rose level by level. This time, he had bet everything he had. As long as he could break through, he would be able to survive. The wind and clouds moved. The terrifying aura made everyone feel as if they were about to die. Qin Chen took action immediately and led everyone into the sky screen. Ouyang Gui¡¯s breakthrough was extremely terrifying. The entire Buzhou Mountain seemed to be trembling. Some experts had already sensed this fluctuation. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Could it be that a powerful heaven-grade treasure has appeared?¡± ¡°Such a terrifying treasure must be a top-tier supreme treasure in Buzhou Mountain!¡± Countless experts raised their heads and looked in one direction. Everyone wanted to obtain the treasure. ¡°Such a terrifying fluctuation will probably attract the covetous eyes of countless experts.¡± Qin Chen and the others were extremely fearful. If such a terrifying existence really broke through, it would shock countless people. After all, this was an existence that could instantly kill Patriarch Xuan Tian. If he broke through again, how powerful would he be? It was unimaginable. Thinking of this, Qin Chen opened the storage ring Ouyang Gui gave him. There was an unknown number of treasures within the storage ring, which caused Qin Chen¡¯s heart to tremble. After all, such a terrifying expert¡¯s spatial ring contained countless treasures. ¡°Treasures!¡± Qin Chen took out the treasures in the storage ring for everyone to choose from. They could take anything useful to them. The big scorpion¡¯s eyes lit up as he took away a pair of scissors that was shining with golden light. Holy Maiden Mu Xue held a long sword. The frost on the sword showed no signs of melting, and it carried the aura of the bitter winter. The flame-wing beast toyed with a fan as it revealed a smile. This was the treasure that it liked the most. The true dragon took an ancient divine medicine because it was a treasure that was especially useful to the dragon race. Yuji took a red umbrella that was filled with lightning, wisps of white lightning crackling on it. Chapter 564 - 564 Black Light 564 Black Light At this moment, everyone was excited. This was because such treasures were very difficult to obtain. These were all treasures that they could never have dreamed of obtaining. And now, thanks to Qin Chen, they had obtained these precious treasures. Following this, Qin Chen took out the divine evil bamboo. The divine evil bamboo was no ordinary item. After all, even someone as powerful as Ouyang Gui yearned for it. This was because this treasure allowed him to attempt a breakthrough. Moreover, the divine evil bamboo was a top-tier heaven-grade treasure. Qin Chen needed it very much. He held the divine evil bamboo. It looked like ordinary bamboo. The divine evil bamboo looked like a glowing bamboo, which Qin Chen split into six parts with his innate sword embryo. With that, everyone had a share. Qin Chen and the others weren¡¯t in any danger in the sky screen. Regardless of whether Ouyang Gui succeeded or failed in breaking through, the result would not harm Qin Chen and the others. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was the first to devour and refine the divine evil bamboo. God knows how much time had passed, but Qin Chen had finally refined a small portion of the divine evil bamboo. As the bamboo turned into specks of starlight, his body was covered in a layer of light. After some time, Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation began to move, then, he advanced by leaps and bounds. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen finally managed to suppress his advancement. Such a rapid breakthrough made him somewhat unable to suppress it. Qin Chen continued to suppress his cultivation prowess, not letting it advance. Otherwise, it might cause his foundation to be unstable. If that happened, Qin Chen might not be able to deal with his enemies. Thinking of this, Qin Chen gradually suppressed his cultivation to a certain limit. After that, he began to break through. God knows how much time had passed before Qin Chen finally broke through to level 7 of the God realm. Qin Chen continued to refine the bamboo. Everyone did the same. Finally, an unknown amount of time passed, and Qin Chen looked into the distance. At this moment, Qin Chen had already broken through. If he hadn¡¯t suppressed his cultivation, he might have even broken through to level 9 of the God realm. However, the price of doing so was that Qin Chen would have to use a lot of strength to lay a good foundation. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to do so. This could only be possible by relying on great opportunities and good fortune. Qin Chen had suppressed his realm, making it slow down. The others broke through as well. Their choice was the same as Qin Chen¡¯s. They wanted to suppress their cultivation and not break through so quickly. Among them, the flame-wing beast agreed with this the most. After all, it was already at level 9 of the God Emperor realm, only one step away from breaking through to the same realm as Patriarch Xuan Tian. However, it felt that its opportunity had not arrived yet, so it decided to suppress its cultivation for the time being. By doing so, its attempt to break through when the time came would naturally be successful. After all, it didn¡¯t want to fail in its breakthrough because if it did, it might cause its realm to become unstable. Qin Chen smiled. As long as he waited for the right time when he obtained some great fortune or great opportunities, he would naturally be able to advance to the God Emperor realm. At that time, when he returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands, or even the cosmic, he would at least have the ability to protect himself. He would not be completely passive against his many enemies. Qin Chen and the others could see that Ouyang Gui who was outside the sky screen had reached the final moment of his breakthrough. At this critical moment, many phenomena appeared in the world. It looked like another world. As time passed, Ouyang Gui had already pushed his strength to the limit, trying to break through the bottleneck. His face gradually turned ruddy, but this was only on the surface and not his real state. He could currently only be considered to have regained his vitality before dying. If Ouyang Gui truly broke through, he would no longer be like this. Instead, he would become even stronger as if he had returned to his youth. At that time, Ouyang Gui could probably be considered an expert in the Divine Illusionary Realm. ¡°Roar!¡± Ouyang Gui¡¯s face was quite distorted, but it was more of a kind of madness. He wanted to break through and become stronger. One wonder after another appeared on Ouyang Gui. There were immortal mountains that looked like fresh blood, tombs that looked like pagodas, and crystal-clear seas. These wonders did not appear all the time. Instead, as time passed, they slowly solidified as if they were reflected in reality. If he wanted to break through, Ouyang Gui had to condense these wonders. If he failed, his strength would be greatly reduced. At that time, even the divine evil bamboo might not be able to help Ouyang Gui make the next breakthrough. His lifespan was about to end, and he was already about to reach the end of his time. At that time, even if Ouyang Gui wanted to become stronger, it would be impossible. Thinking of this, Ouyang Gui refined his blood essence to ensure that nothing went wrong. He didn¡¯t have another chance. Therefore, he had to succeed in this breakthrough. He had to seize the only chance. This was the only way to survive. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Ouyang Gui could no longer hold on. After all, he was powerful. As such, it was more difficult for him to break through, and even more difficult for this old man who was already in his twilight years to do so. God knows how he could break through his bottleneck. Ouyang Gui¡¯s hair was scattered and moving without wind, making him look as if he was challenging the heavens. The wonders became increasingly tangible. At this moment, Ouyang Gui¡¯s eyes finally lit up with joy. It was also at this moment that a black light suddenly appeared and fell on Ouyang Gui. It made Ouyang Gui slide to the edge of collapse and he spat out a mouthful of blood! The appearance of the black light was too sudden. The moment it appeared, Ouyang Gui was severely injured. With that, the condensed wonders seemed to have disappeared in an instant. They became illusory. ¡°No!¡± Ouyang Gui roared. He didn¡¯t know who was attacking him. At this critical moment, this fatal blow almost made him vomit blood. His strength was about to collapse and the wonders were dissipating. He couldn¡¯t just let it be. Ouyang Gui gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. He didn¡¯t want to die! Then, there was an angry roar that was like thunder from the nine heavens. Chapter 565 - 565 Breakthrough 565 Breakthrough Finally, Ouyang Gui made his decision, and that was to condense one of these wonders. As long as he could condense one, he could successfully break through and enter an even stronger realm to live and extend his lifespan. This was his last resort. If he could materialize all the other wonders, he would naturally be even more powerful. However, it was very difficult to even condense one now. Ouyang Gui was struggling. At this moment, his face was pale, and his lips were devoid of blood. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. The black light had been too powerful. It instantly injured him. He did not have time to react, plus he had been in a critical moment. ¡°Appear!¡± Ouyang Gui roared. The rest of the wonders turned into bubbles as if they had already disappeared. Only one wonder was left behind and continued to solidify. The only wonder left behind was a blood-like celestial mountain. Ouyang Gui roared in rage. He didn¡¯t know what was going on. Even though this blood-like celestial mountain was condensing, it was becoming more and more blurry at the same time. Fortunately, Ouyang Gui managed to maintain the wonder by using all his strength. With that, Ouyang Gui had successfully broken through! In an instant, a terrifying aura spread out. Even the sky screen seemed to be trembling. One could imagine how terrifying Ouyang Gui was now. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t even imagine how powerful the other party was now. ¡°Too, too powerful.¡± The big scorpion gulped. After all, he had never seen such a terrifying expert. At this moment, he had made this terrifying expert Ouyang Gui his target. After Ouyang Gui broke through, his body underwent a change that allowed him to regain his youth. The changes were visible to the naked eye. He became younger and younger, returning to his middle-aged appearance. The majestic aura he exuded now made people not dare to approach him. After an unknown period, Ouyang Gui¡¯s eyes flew open and he sensed the changes in his body after his breakthrough. He smiled. Then, a roar filled with rage sounded. He wanted to see clearly who had unleashed that black light. He wanted to kill the owner of the black light who ambushed him. After all, although he had broken through by luck under the circumstances of being heavily injured, he was now much weaker than if he had broken through with his full strength. He had only condensed one wonder. If he had been stronger, how could he have ended up in this state? After Ouyang Gui broke through, the first thing he did was find the person who ambushed him. That guy was hiding somewhere. ¡°Come out!¡± His furious roar carried laws and was incomparably terrifying. In an instant, the owner of the black light was shaken out of space. This was something the other party had never expected. Ouyang Gui looked at the man in black in front of him. His eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to kill the other party immediately. The terrifying pressure made the black-clothed man feel as if he was about to suffocate. No matter what, Ouyang Gui would not give him the chance to escape. The black-clothed man had not expected Ouyang Gui to have successfully broken through despite being heavily injured. This was simply unbelievable. ¡°Die!¡± Ouyang Gui smashed the blood-like celestial mountain that he had just condensed onto the other party. The black-clothed man died instantly. Ouyang Gui couldn¡¯t care less about this guy¡¯s background. After all, the latter had almost sent him to his death. No one could probably control themselves from killing such a person. Seeing this, Qin Chen was slightly shocked. The blood-red celestial mountain just now was extremely terrifying. With a single move, it almost destroyed the void in this area. Was this Ouyang Gui¡¯s current strength? Ouyang Gui continued to attack. The celestial mountain smashed into a certain spot, and a passage appeared in the void. Ouyang Gui was quite emotional that he had obtained the divine evil bamboo when he was about to die. It had helped him break through to the next realm, even though the black light from the man in black had injured him severely. However, this was still good. At least he had managed to break through and thus survived. Thinking of this, Ouyang Gui turned to Qin Chen and the others and said, ¡°Junior, I¡¯ve already opened the passageway. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± As the supreme elder of the Tiansheng Sect, Ouyang Gui had been trapped in this place for ten thousand years. Perhaps the world had long thought that he was already dead. Fortunately, when his life was about to end, he met Qin Chen and the others. He thus obtained the divine evil bamboo and successfully broke through. Although Ouyang Gui had lost his spatial ring and didn¡¯t have a single weapon left, he no longer needed a weapon. The wonder that he condensed, the bloody celestial mountain, was even more terrifying and more powerful than any weapon. Ouyang Gui didn¡¯t need anything else. What he needed to do now was to leave Buzhou Mountain. When he returned to the Tiansheng Sect, he would be able to become a huge pillar that supported the Tiansheng Sect. Seeing Ouyang Gui leave, Qin Chen and the others came out of the sky screen. At this moment, Qin Chen had already broken through to level 7 of the God realm. The heavenly tribulation that belonged to him had arrived. The terrifying heavenly tribulation brought along thick dark clouds that seemed to want to crush Qin Chen. Qin Chen had nothing to fear. Now that he was in the Divine Illusory Realm, even if he broke through, the heavenly tribulation would not be too powerful. It was far from being as powerful as the tribulation in the nine Heavens and ten lands or even the cosmic. Right now, he only needed to deal with it with ease and overcome the heavenly tribulation. With that, Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body, becoming stronger and stronger. Then, he made his move, wanting to block the heavenly tribulation. What he did not expect was that this heavenly tribulation was not as powerful as the last heavenly tribulation he had transcended in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Qin Chen then made his move. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and injected the divine power in his body into it, reviving the extreme emperor weapon. A terrifying pressure instantly erupted. After that, Qin Chen charged toward the heavenly tribulation. Above the skies, heavenly tribulations descended continuously on Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him. Just the heavenly tribulation alone was not enough to make him fall. In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, the innate sword embryo began to condense sword intent. He slashed out with his terrifying sword attack. The heavenly tribulations descended one after another but were shattered by Qin Chen. In everyone¡¯s eyes, it was simply too easy for Qin Chen to resist this terrifying heavenly tribulation. Chapter 566 - 566 Heavenly God Road 566 Heavenly God Road Right now, Qin Chen had already stepped into level 7 of the God realm. The only regret was that after breaking through, Qin Chen didn¡¯t receive any gifts from Heavenly Dao. Could it be that he needed to face a terrifying heavenly tribulation to obtain the gift of the Heavenly Dao? Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly. What a pity. The gift of the Heavenly Dao was a very good thing. As time passed, no heavenly tribulation fell from the dark clouds in the skies anymore. Qin Chen felt his power that had broken through to level 7 of the God realm and sighed. God knows when he would be able to advance to the God Emperor realm. As long as he broke through to the God Emperor realm, he could then leave. Having been in the Divine Illusory Realm and only returning to the nine Heavens and ten lands after such a long time, Qin Chen was quite worried. He didn¡¯t know what the nine Heavens and ten lands had become. Then, Qin Chen led everyone away. After passing through the passageway that Ouyang Gui had opened up, they would be able to leave. The depths of Buzhou Mountain had many great fortunes and opportunities. If they obtained these great fortunes, they would definitely be able to break through. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone away. It had to be said that it was very easy for Qin Chen to break through in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Soon, Qin Chen and the others entered the passageway. At the same time, they saw the shocking scene in front of them. ¡°Is this the Heavenly God Road?¡± Along the path were tall statues that looked as if they had been here since ancient times. The terrifying aura they exuded made people feel suffocated. Qin Chen smiled. This meant that as long as they crossed the Heavenly God Road, they would naturally be able to leave this place. After all, Ouyang Gui had said that if they wanted to get the divine evil bamboo, they had to cross the Heavenly God Road. As long as Qin Chen and the others could cross the Heavenly God Road, they would naturally be able to search for other great fortunes. Qin Chen and the others continued to advance. As they advanced, the Heavenly God Road seemed to be changing, becoming even more terrifying. It was constantly emitting pressure. If this continued, crossing the Heavenly God Road would probably not be so easy. After that, Qin Chen continued to move forward. After all, there wasn¡¯t much danger ahead. Even if there was a terrifying danger, Qin Chen would be able to resist it with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Furthermore, Qin Chen had already broken through to level 7 of the God realm. He had become even stronger, and he could control the innate sword embryo and the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to unleash even more power. As Qin Chen continued forward, the terrifying statues continued emitting terrifying aurae. The pressure on Qin Chen got heavier and heavier. Everyone followed Qin Chen. It was impossible for such pressure to suppress Qin Chen. He could resist it with his strength alone. ¡°Just what kind of dangers are there on this Heavenly God Road?¡± The big scorpion spoke as he looked at the statues around him. These statues that looked like heavenly gods were not only emitting pressure but also light. Then, the lights gathered. Not good! Qin Chen suddenly had a bad premonition. The lights seemed to have a life of their own as they transformed into a terrifying and huge figure that was like a heavenly god. Could it be that the only way to pass through the Heavenly God Road was to defeat this terrifying heavenly god? ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± The flame-wing beast let out a low growl and charged out. Roar! This was the first battle the flame-wing beast was fighting after it had refined the divine evil bamboo. Seeing that the flame-wing beast had already charged toward the terrifying heavenly god, Qin Chen could only stop. After all, his strength was far inferior to that of the flame-wing beast. The terrifying heavenly god didn¡¯t retreat even a step as he watched the flame-wing beast charge toward him. The flame-wing beast¡¯s claw came down, wanting to kill this terrifying heavenly god. The terrifying heavenly god was the test of the Heavenly God Road. Qin Chen and the others could only pray for the flame-wing beast. After all, no one knew how powerful the other party was. The distance between the flame-wing beast and the heavenly god gradually decreased. As long as the flame-wing beast managed to defeat the heavenly god on the Heavenly God Road, everyone would be able to leave this place. After all, it was not a good idea to continue staying in this place. Soon after, when the flame-wing beast was getting closer and closer to the terrifying heavenly god, the latter finally began to move. What he wanted to do was to exterminate this flame-wing beast. Anyone who had the courage to step onto the Heavenly God Road was doing it to refine heavenly treasures. Naturally, they would die here. As the heavenly god went berserk, he struck out a stream of energy that landed ruthlessly on the flame-wing beast. The flame-wing beast spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Qin Chen threw out a few leaves of the ancient tree of life for it to refine. The flame-wing beast didn¡¯t expect this. Why was this heavenly god so terrifying? Was this the reason why this place was called the Heavenly God Road? It was no wonder why Ouyang Gui¡¯s reaction had been so exaggerated when he saw Qin Chen and the others. If they had faced the terrifying heavenly god before their breakthrough, they might have been instantly killed. Fortunately, the terrifying heavenly god did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood on the Heavenly God Road. His eyes were solemn. It seemed that the other party would only attack those who wanted to pass through the Heavenly God Road. Now that Qin Chen and the others weren¡¯t advancing, the heavenly god thus didn¡¯t continue to attack them. Qin Chen looked at everyone. The flame-wing beast was already injured. Even if it could recover, it would still require a lot of time, and the heavenly god was clearly not someone the flame-wing beast could deal with. Ordinary people simply had no way of dealing with the terrifying heavenly god. With that, Qin Chen moved forward step by step. He wanted to give it a try since the flame-wing beast couldn¡¯t do it. ¡°Elder King!¡± Everyone was incomparably worried. To think Qin Chen was getting closer to becoming a Heavenly God. This huge Heavenly God was emitting a terrifying light. It seemed to be an ancient god. Qin Chen smiled. He knew very well that he probably wouldn¡¯t have the upper hand in a head-on clash. He had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, so he wouldn¡¯t die easily. With that advantage, he could find the weakness of this heavenly god. When Ouyang Gui left, based on his personality, he should have already defeated the heavenly god once. Therefore, this heavenly god was definitely not at his peak state. Chapter 567 - 567 The Heavenly Gods Flaw 567 The Heavenly God¡¯s Flaw As long as he wasn¡¯t in his peak condition, the heavenly god could dream on about killing Qin Chen in one move. The reason why Qin Chen was so confident was that he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him. One had to know that this was a good item. As long as he could block the other party¡¯s attack, he would naturally be able to find the weakness of this terrifying heavenly god. At that time, he would naturally be able to defeat the other party. Logically speaking, such a terrifying heavenly god should have many flaws. However, in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, this terrifying heavenly god did not seem to have any flaws. It was simply a fool¡¯s dream for him to want to deal with the heavenly god. Still, Qin Chen didn¡¯t feel any fear. After all, he knew that the other party couldn¡¯t kill him. Qin Chen took out several leaves from the ancient tree of life from his storage ring and swallowed them, beginning to refine them. In Qin Chen¡¯s opinion, it shouldn¡¯t be easy to find the flaws of a heavenly god. It was very likely that he would still not notice anything after being beaten up. Therefore, he first adjusted his condition to its peak state. To Ouyang Gui, the heavenly god on the Heavenly God Road was not worthy of his attention at all. But Qin Chen was different. He had just advanced to level 7 of the God realm. No matter how monstrous his talent was, it was impossible for him to fight against the terrifying heavenly god so quickly. When the flame-wing beast fought with the heavenly god, Qin Chen had a rough estimate of the latter¡¯s strength. If he were to face the heavenly god at his peak, he would definitely die without leaving even dregs behind. But now, this heavenly god had been beaten up by Ouyang Gui. Qin Chen only needed to find the other party¡¯s weakness and he would naturally be able to leave the Heavenly God Road. The terrifying heavenly god noticed Qin Chen. After all, his mission was to protect the Heavenly God Road. No one was allowed to take a step closer to the Heavenly God Road. Those who disobey will be killed! With that, the terrifying heavenly god erupted with a shocking fluctuation that seemed to be able to shake the surrounding spiritual energy. One could imagine how terrifying this terrifying heavenly god was. Even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but gasp. Only when he faced this terrifying power did he feel what it meant to have ¡°immeasurable power¡±. Qin Chen clenched his jaw and circulated his Chaotic Divine Body, allowing his power to burst forth. The terrifying power caused the heavens to rumble. After that, Qin Chen activated the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body once again, causing it to emit a resplendent light. Qin Chen took out the innate sword embryo from his storage ring and poured all the divine power in his body into it. Only with the help of the various treasures could he withstand the terrifying heavenly god¡¯s attack. The heavenly god looked angry. He was burning with a red light that radiated for hundreds of millions of feet. A terrifying aura circulated, and the surrounding void shattered. Everyone was extremely worried. If Qin Chen was killed, they would probably go crazy. To them, Qin Chen had already occupied a very large position in their hearts. This was something that even Qin Chen himself had not expected. What he was thinking now was how terrifying this terrifying heavenly god was. After all, in Qin Chen¡¯s position, the confrontation was direct. This power was enough to destroy him. At this moment, he could only rely on the many treasures he had. If even these treasures couldn¡¯t save his life, he could only sigh at his bad luck. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen let out a furious roar and slashed out with his sword. Such a terrifying sword strike seemed incomparably small in front of the attack of the heavenly god. It felt like an ant trying to shake a big tree. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand had already been activated after being infused with his divine power. A terrifying extreme emperor might pressed forward. In the past, the innate sword embryo had always been successful. After all, what could compete with the extreme emperor¡¯s might? However, this time, it was completely defeated. It was instantly obliterated inch by inch. The attack launched by the heavenly god then landed heavily on Qin Chen. Even though Qin Chen had many treasures on him, he was still heavily injured on the spot. He spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and the blood mist disappeared almost instantly, shattering along with the void. However, Qin Chen was wearing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Even though the armor was struck by such a terrifying heavenly god attack, it was still not damaged in the slightest. Though, the light on the armor was much dimmer as it trembled. This was also within Qin Chen¡¯s expectations. But now, his internal organs had already been injured. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn¡¯t possibly withstand such a terrifying attack. He was sent flying at a speed as fast as a beam of light, blasting a huge pit in the ground. It was as if the heavenly god¡¯s anger of being beaten up by Ouyang Gui had been released onto Qin Chen. However, Qin Chen was no ordinary person. His endurance was very strong. ¡°Elder King!¡± No one dared to look at Qin Chen anymore. After some time, he slowly stood up. In the pit, his body kept shaking as if he would be blown over by a gust of wind. Qin Chen¡¯s body was covered in blood that was dripping continuously. However, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Because he had found it. Although the heavenly god was powerful and terrifying, his energy would become unstable the moment he released an attack. This was the only flaw Qin Chen had found. Qin Chen had withstood this terrifying heavenly god¡¯s attack and survived, which stunned everyone. However, what followed was excitement. ¡°The Elder King is too powerful! ¡± ¡°To think he managed to block an attack from this terrifying existence.¡± They might not even be able to withstand the aftershock of this attack, yet Qin Chen took it head-on. One could imagine how powerful Qin Chen had become. Every time they broke through, they would think that they had caught up to the Elder King. However, they had always discovered that no matter how hard they tried, they were simply not as strong as Qin Chen. Qin Chen had just been sent flying and was now outside the Heavenly God Road. As long as he left the Heavenly God Road, the terrifying heavenly god would not take the initiative to attack again. This seemed to be an unspoken rule. No matter how terrifying the heavenly god on the Heavenly God Road was, it was impossible for him to leave the Heavenly God Road to chase after the enemy. Chapter 568 - 568 Black-shelled Insect 568 Black-shelled Insect Qin Chen walked forward step by step. On this Heavenly God Road, God knows how many skeletons there were. Those people were all powerful warriors who wanted to find the divine evil bamboo by crossing the Heavenly God Road. In the end, all of them died on the Heavenly God Road, killed by the heavenly god. This was the heavenly god¡¯s strength. No matter how powerful one was, as long as one was not as powerful as the heavenly god, the only outcome was death. Thinking of this, everyone could not help but sigh in their hearts. After all, no matter how powerful those experts had been, they had all died here. Those who could enter the depths of Buzhou Mountain through the Heavenly God Road were all freakish geniuses. It was a pity that they had been too conceited and died at the hands of a heavenly god. Qin Chen led the group forward step by step and finally left through the Heavenly God Road. In front of them was an even more terrifying aura, as well as a fluctuation of Ouyang Gui¡¯s aura. It seemed that he had been here before, though he was nowhere to be found now. Qin Chen looked around. It seemed that a great battle had just broken out in this place. ¡°What a terrifying aura.¡± Even the flame-wing beast frowned at the remnant aura fluctuations. This meant that the other party was far stronger than it. To be able to be so powerful, one could imagine how terrifying the other party was. They wondered if they would bump into the other party. Qin Chen stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes. He carefully sensed where the terrifying existences around him were. Then, his spiritual will seemed to have discovered something. They continued to move forward and finally found the source of the terrifying aura. It was just a distance away from them. The terrifying existence must be nearby. Therefore, Qin Chen chose a place with the weakest aura to advance. Most importantly, there seemed to be something in that place that was summoning him. Qin Chen led everyone in that direction. Not long after, they saw a broken stone tablet. There seemed to be a word written on the stone tablet: Taiyuan. Could it be that the place ahead was Taiyuan? No one knew what treasures and fortunes were hidden in Taiyuan. However, since Qin Chen had chosen to move forward, this meant that as long as they followed Qin Chen, their lives would naturally not be in danger. Thinking of this, everyone continued forward. After some time, they finally arrived at a place with trees. There seemed to be something on these trees. Qin Chen used his spiritual will to finally capture the scene. Some kind of insect that was similar to a spiritual body was on these trees. If such a terrifying insect entered the bodies of Qin Chen and the others, it would cause a lot of damage to their souls. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts skipped a beat. Fortunately, Qin Chen¡¯s senses were relatively sensitive, which allowed him to discover the danger ahead of time. Otherwise, these spiritual insects would have caught them off guard. Qin Chen immediately released his Jiuying divine soul. The Jiuying divine soul was an incomparably powerful existence, to begin with. After being refined by Qin Chen into a split soul, it had given him quite a bit of help. Now, in the face of such terrifying insects, Qin Chen had to use the Jiuying divine soul to block them. Then, Qin Chen smiled. These trees emitted a faint light and the insects seemed to have gone berserk. They had sensed the arrival of Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen glanced around and found that there seemed to be quite a number of bones around. It seemed that these spiritual insects had killed many experts before. So many experts had turned into piles of bones. What should they do now? Everyone¡¯s hearts were beating rapidly. In their eyes, these terrifying spiritual insects were naturally very terrifying. When Qin Chen released his Jiuying divine soul, these spiritual insects seemed to have been stimulated. All of them locked onto the Jiuying divine soul and launched attacks on it. Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul was naturally not to be trifled with. The Jiuying was a terrifying ferocious beast in the ancient era. Even if only its divine soul was left, it was still incomparably terrifying. The ferocious might it exuded was enough to make countless spiritual insects incomparably fearful. Then, the Jiuying divine soul was surrounded by countless spiritual insects, to the point it was as if it had been submerged. One could imagine how terrifying it would be if so many bugs that made one¡¯s scalp tingle entered one¡¯s body. There was deep fear in everyone¡¯s eyes. God knows if the Jiuying divine soul could withstand it. Qin Chen gained some understanding of the many spiritual insects. Their realms weren¡¯t too terrifying, but the most important thing was that there were too many of them. It was almost as if they were air. In an instant, the insects surrounded the Jiuying divine soul. Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul let out a furious roar. Then, silence. Everyone¡¯s hearts tightened. The big scorpion was ready to call everyone to escape. Ordinary experts probably wouldn¡¯t notice that there were spiritual insects here. With so many insects, once one entered a person¡¯s body, their primordial spirit would probably be instantly devoured if it didn¡¯t have any protective treasures. A terrifying aura erupted. Then, everyone laughed. This was because these spiritual insects seemed to have already stiffened. Countless spiritual insects that wrapped around the Jiuyong divine soul were shattered into dust, leaving nothing behind. This terrifying scene made everyone go crazy. They hadn¡¯t expected that Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul would be able to kill the spiritual insects so easily. Seeing this, Qin Chen walked forward. By now, the insects on the trees were almost all dead. Even if there were a few scattered insects left, they no longer had any offensive power and could only struggle to survive. Right at this moment, Qin Chen felt as if he was about to suffocate. This was because a gigantic insect face had appeared beside him. This insect was huge and hidden in the void. Its body was completely black and emitted the aura of death. Its aura caused fear to arise in the hearts of people. Everyone held their breaths. They had been out of danger, but now, there was actually such a terrifying black-shelled insect that was exuding a terrifying aura at Qin Chen. Everyone¡¯s hearts could not help but tremble. There was nothing more to say about how terrifying the insect was. Everyone seemed helpless before it. ¡°Roar!¡± Chapter 569 - 569 Time is Like a Song 569 Time is Like a Song This was also the reason why Qin Chen was laughing so brazenly and calmly as if he was mocking this terrifying heavenly god. The terrifying heavenly god on the Heavenly God Road was puzzled. Why didn¡¯t the weak human cultivator die? Logically speaking, his attack should have easily killed Qin Chen. Yet now, Qin Chen was still alive. Even though Qin Chen¡¯s body was covered in blood, he was still laughing. The leaves of the ancient tree of life were constantly sending huge amounts of life force into Qin Chen¡¯s body, helping heal his injuries. Otherwise, Qin Chen would have long died. ¡°Elder King!¡± The big scorpion, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the flame-wing beast, and the others all flew over. The Elder King had just blocked such a terrifying attack, and now he was already an arrow at the end of its flight. In their eyes, even if Qin Chen was defeated, it would still be a glorious defeat. If Qin Chen¡¯s cultivation had been the same as this terrifying heavenly god, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been defeated so easily. Rather, perhaps he could easily defeat this heavenly god. After that, Qin Chen walked out of the pit step by step. Seeing that everyone was surrounding him, Qin Chen waved his hand. What he needed now was rest. Everyone understood. They found a place for Qin Chen to lie down under an ancient tree. Qin Chen¡¯s injuries this time were very serious. After all, it was not easy to resist such a terrifying heavenly god. Following this, everyone surrounded Qin Chen and protected him. Seeing that everyone was protecting him, Qin Chen relaxed and swallowed the many natural treasures he had. This way, Qin Chen would be able to recover from his injuries faster. Several days passed, and he finally spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face instantly looked much ruddy. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t been completely certain that he could block the attack of that terrifying heavenly god back then. He had once again experienced what it felt like to be at the gates of hell. Fortunately, he had almost recovered now. The rest needed to be recovered slowly. Naturally, it would not be a problem. At this point, Qin Chen had endured the threat of death to finally find the weakness of that terrifying heavenly god. However, for a powerful and terrifying existence like the heavenly god, it seemed that even with this flaw, he would not face any problems. After all, the heavenly god was not to be trifled with. Who could withstand his attack? It was already the best outcome if one didn¡¯t die on the spot. That being said, Qin Chen and the others could use the tactic of taking turns to attack. They could take advantage of their numbers, letting one person attract the firepower while the rest spread out and attacked at the same time. This might be able to make good use of the heavenly god¡¯s weakness. At that time, they might be able to kill the heavenly god. One had to know that even Ouyang Gui, who couldn¡¯t break through 10,000 years ago, hadn¡¯t been able to kill this terrifying heavenly god easily when he passed through the Heavenly God Road. It could be said that Qin Chen and the others were extremely daring to do this. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t think so himself. In his opinion, by doing this, he should be able to easily deal with the other party. As long as he could perfectly grasp the heavenly god¡¯s flaw, wouldn¡¯t it be easy for him to defeat the latter? However, Qin Chen had yet to recover to his peak state. As such, Qin Chen then took out some leaves from the ancient tree of life, asking everyone to quickly adjust to their peak condition. After all, if they were to fight with that terrifying heavenly god later, a terrifying battle would definitely erupt. If they were not strong enough, they might die. They were still too weak. For example, the flame-wing beast had broken through to level 9 of the God Emperor realm, but it was still unable to withstand a single blow from the heavenly god. This was enough to show how terrifying the battle they were about to face was. Thinking of this, everyone laughed. Even if they were prepared, there was still a chance that they would die. Everyone took the leaves of the ancient tree of life from Qin Chen and began to refine them. After all, if there was a terrifying battle later, they might be able to suffer fewer injuries or survive only if they were at their peak. Everyone started laughing. Then, they walked further away and sat down cross-legged, protecting Qin Chen once again. Although they probably wouldn¡¯t encounter any terrifying existences attacking them now and thus doing so was unnecessary, they still subconsciously did so. If there were any experts who wanted to kill Qin Chen, they would have to step over their dead bodies. Otherwise, those experts should just scram. At this moment, Qin Chen had already recovered to his peak condition. Even if the heavenly god attacked him again, Qin Chen was confident that he could survive. During the process of recovery, Qin Chen had been pondering over what he should do to grasp the heavenly god¡¯s weakness. After all, the terrifying heavenly god was no ordinary person. As long as they approached this terrifying heavenly god, the other party would definitely attack them directly. Among them, the one with the highest defense was Qin Chen. If the flame-wing beast were to receive the other party¡¯s attack, it would most likely be severely injured and lose its mobility. However, if Qin Chen was the one to block it, the flame-wing beast would have the chance to seize the opening and attack the heavenly god. Amongst them, the flame-wing beast was the strongest. It had already advanced to level 9 of the God Emperor realm. If it was not for the fact that the flame-wing beast did not want to take the risk, it might have been able to make a breakthrough with the help of the divine evil bamboo. However, the flame-wing beast preferred stability. Otherwise, it might have already broken through to Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s realm. Qin Chen smiled and stood up. Everyone else did the same. They had already guessed what they were going to do now. This time, they were facing a terrifying heavenly god. It was enough to make them feel boundless fear. After all, even the powerful flame-wing beast would be killed in a single blow when facing the heavenly god. It had almost died the last time. Now, they were going to attack with all their might and fight the terrifying heavenly god. It had to be said that the terrifying heavenly god was really too powerful. Even though they were so far away, they still felt as if they were about to suffocate. As Qin Chen and the others approached, the pressure grew stronger. ¡°Time is like a song, slaying a prodigy. Trample the heavenly god and cover the heavens in an instant.¡± The big scorpion was extremely solemn and solemn. After all, the power of the heavenly god had long exceeded their expectations. As Qin Chen and the others continued to approach, they grew increasingly apprehensive. The terrifying heavenly god slowly raised his head and looked at them. Chapter 570 - 570 Dealing with the Heavenly God 570 Dealing with the Heavenly God Qin Chen and the others could feel the heavenly god¡¯s gaze on them. They could not help but feel a chill. Who knew how many experts this terrifying heavenly god had killed? However, these were not things that Qin Chen and the others needed to pay attention to now. All they needed to do now was to prepare for a great battle. This terrifying heavenly god emitted a terrifying might. Qin Chen revealed a sharp gaze. He looked at the terrifying heavenly god, his eyes filled with intense battle intent. After that, Qin Chen sent a voice transmission to everyone, and their eyes also became determined. God knows if it would work according to Qin Chen¡¯s arrangements. This terrifying heavenly god might even injure Qin Chen directly. Therefore, Qin Chen had already discussed it with the others. He would receive an attack from the terrifying heavenly god to expose the latter¡¯s flaw. That way, everyone would have a chance to attack. As Qin Chen moved, everyone else spread out. ¡°Roar!¡± Qin Chen let out a furious roar. This time, he couldn¡¯t fail! After that, the Chaotic Divine Body erupted, causing the heavens to rumble. Qin Chen circulated his acupoints to their limits. A terrifying aura abruptly rushed forward. This terrifying aura caused the heavenly god to notice Qin Chen. He watched as this human cultivator charged toward him. One had to know that he had killed countless experts. This human cultivator had taken one of his moves and survived, yet he still dared to provoke him? This had already crossed the heavenly god¡¯s bottom line. No matter what, he wanted to get rid of Qin Chen. With that, the heavenly god unleashed his terrifying aura, wanting to kill Qin Chen. Qin Chen was almost unable to move, frozen in place by the huge pressure. He saw the heavenly god¡¯s murderous eyes staring at him. Then, the other party¡¯s powerful aura slowly erupted as he raised his hand and pressed it forward. For a time, countless lightning bolts gathered in the sky, coming toward Qin Chen¡¯s face. It seemed as if they wanted to destroy Qin Chen. The corners of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. He swallowed and refined a leaf of the ancient tree of life in his storage ring. Then, he infused the divine power in his physical body into the innate sword embryo. The extreme emperor weapon was activated and slashed forward with a shocking aura. The sword attack was quite powerful, but in the eyes of the heavenly god, it was just average. Then, the terrifying heavenly god continued to press forward. Terrifying lightning raged as if it wanted to destroy all living beings and turn them into nothingness. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on Qin Chen¡¯s body had already automatically protected its owner, emitting a resplendent light. This strike instantly sent Qin Chen into the ground. At one point, he couldn¡¯t see anything. However, Qin Chen still laughed as he spat out a mouthful of blood. After the heavenly god launched his attack, his flaw appeared. The flame-wing beast let out a furious roar and charged over with the true dragon. The flame-wing beast held a fan in its hand and fanned out a sea of fire, wanting to burn the heavenly god to death! At the same time, the true dragon spat out innate dragon flames. One had to know that this was the terrifying flame of the true dragon race. It was extremely powerful. The flames turned into a fire dragon and whistled forward. Roar! Seeing the intense battle, Holy Maiden Mu Xue and the others did not want to be outdone. She held a long sword in her hand, and the frost seemed to be about to freeze the void. ¡°Winter is coming!¡± A terrifying icy aura surged forward. The big scorpion held a pair of scissors that flickered with golden light. After being revived by divine power, it emitted a terrifying aura. It unleashed a golden light that seemed to be able to cut through everything. Yuji was holding a red umbrella that was filled with lightning. White bolts of lightning crackled, and with a delicate shout, several bolts of lightning shot forward. These terrifying attacks were enough to make one feel endless fear. The target of their attacks was a heavenly god! To the terrifying existence, these attacks were like a tickle. However, Qin Chen had managed to gain a sliver of hope for them. They only had one chance to take advantage of the heavenly god¡¯s flaw. Because Qin Chen had already been severely injured, he couldn¡¯t possibly receive a second attack. It was only when the terrifying heavenly god launched an attack would his flaw be revealed. Seeing so many attacks landing on his body, the heavenly god seemed to have gone crazy. Countless attacks landed on his body, making the heavenly god suffocate. He was caught off guard and wasn¡¯t in his peak condition either. In this fight with Qin Chen and the others, he didn¡¯t have the chance to react. Qin Chen smiled. He could no longer move, but everyone should have already bombarded the heavenly god. As long as they seized the opportunity, logically speaking, this terrifying heavenly god should have been severely injured and thus defeated. This time, there must not be any surprises. Once they failed to defeat the heavenly god, there should be no chance for them to turn the tables. Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other and smiled. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. At this moment, the heavenly god was already on the verge of dying. He looked at his own body. At this moment, his huge body had already become illusory. He was a living being condensed from countless sculptures of heavenly gods, to begin with. At this moment, having been bombarded by countless attacks, he could no longer stabilize his form. It didn¡¯t take too long for him to dissipate and turn into nothingness before everyone¡¯s eyes. Qin Chen smiled. The fact that everyone came over to support him meant that they had succeeded. The heavenly god had already been dealt with. If Ouyang Gui hadn¡¯t already defeated this heavenly god once, Qin Chen and the others probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to find any flaws. Although they had won, everyone could not be happy now. This was because a flood of blood was gushing out from Qin Chen¡¯s body. Everyone was shocked. They had never thought that Qin Chen would be so heavily injured this time. Even the last time, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t injured this badly. After that, Qin Chen walked forward step by step. He broke free from everyone¡¯s hands. Everyone followed Qin Chen to prevent him from collapsing. Although Qin Chen¡¯s injuries were serious, they were slowly recovering. With the leaves of the ancient tree of life, no matter how serious his injuries were, as long as he wasn¡¯t dead yet, he would be able to recover. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s hair fluttered in the wind. His eyes were filled with determination as he walked forward step by step. The current Heavenly God Road did not harbor much danger. The surrounding sculptures seemed to have cracked. Chapter 571 - 571 Run 571 Run The huge black beetle hidden in the void was also a spiritual creature. Its target was Qin Chen. God knows if Qin Chen could deal with this terrifying fellow now. Everyone realized that the spiritual insects that Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul had killed just now should be the descendants of this black beetle. They were extremely terrified at this moment. The black beetle¡¯s spiritual power was too terrifying. Even if Qin Chen and the others used all their strength, they might not be able to even make the other party budge. Qin Chen moved slowly. The black beetle¡¯s eyes were fixed on Qin Chen, and a mental pressure that was like ice fell on the latter. At this moment, Qin Chen felt that his primordial spirit was about to be frozen. What exactly was this terrifying black beetle? Even if Qin Chen used all his strength, he might not be a match. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt fear. How should he deal with this guy? The black beetle seemed to be staring at Qin Chen, but in reality, everyone was its prey. It was simply waiting for an opportunity. ¡°Run,¡± Qin Chen mouthed. Right now, even if he used voice transmission, it would immediately be captured by this terrifying black beetle. At that time, the other party might be infuriated. Qin Chen and the others did not want to die yet. Therefore, they could not anger this terrifying insect at all costs. The black beetle was furious. Many of its insect grandchildren seemed to have died, which made its heart bleed. It looked at Qin Chen and the others. These human cultivators were the ones who had caused its insect grandchildren to suffer such tragic casualties. Therefore, it would not let any of them off. Everyone¡¯s hearts tightened. After all, the terrifying black beetle was no ordinary being. If the other party really attacked, it was likely that they would not even be able to resist before their primordial spirits were shattered by the other party. At the same time, everyone saw what Qin Chen was mouthing. Immediately, their figures moved violently as they fled forward. The terrifying black beetle would definitely not let them off. Since these human cultivators had already come this far, it definitely couldn¡¯t let them leave safely. Following this, the beetle roared angrily. The sharp whistle carried a spiritual pressure, instantly causing everyone to hold their heads and kneel. It felt extremely painful as if their primordial spirits were about to shatter! Qin Chen immediately turned around and launched an attack on the terrifying black beetle. One had to know that the black beetle did not have a physical body. It was only a spiritual body, so ordinary attacks could not do anything to it. That being said, Qin Chen was quite skilled in dealing with these spiritual creatures. After all, he had the Chaos Divine Ring left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. This heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon was the best weapon to deal with the black beetle. Qin Chen poured his spiritual power into the Chaos Divine Ring in his body. Instantly, the Chaos Divine Ring burst out with a terrifying light. It flew out of Qin Chen¡¯s body and turned into a sharp light, piercing the black beetle. As soon as the Chaos Divine Ring erupted, a terrifying pressure pressed forward. Back then, even the Divine Fire Great Emperor had been killed instantly by the Chaos Divine Ring. So what if this black beetle was powerful? Though, the Divine Fire Great Emperor had entered Qin Chen¡¯s body the last time, which was equivalent to entering the main camp and walking right into a trap. This time, Qin Chen had taken the initiative to activate the Chaos Divine Ring. He didn¡¯t have any advantage. However, this was also the only thing he could do now. It was better than sitting still and doing nothing, right? Qin Chen was staking everything on this. He didn¡¯t know what the result would be, but if he wanted to live, he had to resist. As the Chaos Divine Wheel exploded with terrifying power, everyone finally recovered. All eyes were fixed on the firefly-like light. The black beetle let out a roar because it felt a fatal threat from the light of the unknown object. This was probably something left behind by an extremely powerful existence. Just the item¡¯s aura alone was enough to make the black beetle lose control of itself. Seeing the radiant firefly-like light charging at it, the black beetle shot out a beam of light that reached the sky! The power was so terrifying that it actually tore through the boundless void. It was like a passage from the ancient era. Boom! With a loud bang, the attack caused a terrifying explosion. Their souls trembled endlessly, and everyone felt as if they were about to die. Even Qin Chen was no exception. No matter how monstrous he was, it was impossible for him to withstand such a terrifying attack. Then, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief because the black beetle was actually injured! Although the black beetle was not seriously injured, injuring it in itself was almost impossible. They couldn¡¯t imagine how much power was needed to injure the black beetle. The Chaos Divine Ring flew back into Qin Chen¡¯s body, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had suffered a backlash. The Chaos Divine Ring seemed to have been hit quite badly. Fortunately, Qin Chen was still able to move. He did not completely lose his mobility. He looked at everyone, and they made a prompt decision. They tore open the void and prepared to cross it. All of them knew what Qin Chen meant: If they did not escape now, they would probably die here later. The flame-wing beast tore through the void and flew in while bringing Qin Chen. Everyone immediately entered. Before the black beetle could react, they had already escaped. After the black beetle saw the situation clearly, it immediately shot out a terrifying beam of light. However, the spatial rift had disappeared, and its attack landed on nothing. It let out an angry roar. The hearts of Qin Chen and the others pounded wildly. They had almost died there. If the terrifying black beetles had attacked them right from the start, they might have been completely wiped out. Thank God the black beetle hadn¡¯t attacked directly, which gave Qin Chen the time to react and make a move. Although Qin Chen was injured, his injuries were spiritual. The leaves of the ancient tree of life were unable to help him. Qin Chen could only slowly recover himself. Chapter 572 - 572 Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower 572 Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower The black beetle kept roaring. To think it was injured! It had been injured by a weak human cultivator. Moreover, this human cultivator had killed most of its insect grandchildren. A terrifying killing intent erupted from the black beetle¡¯s heart. However, Qin Chen and the others had already torn through the void and left. At this moment, they walked out of the spatial crack. This was the furthest distance that they could travel through the void. In the depths of Buzhou Mountain, they couldn¡¯t teleport over a long distance like in the outside world. It was already very difficult for them to get rid of the black beetle. Still, Qin Chen laughed. After all, they had successfully survived the terrifying black beetle. Then, Qin Chen¡¯s injuries worsened, causing his face to turn pale. Currently, as long as his emotions rippled, it would affect his injuries. They were now in a towering tree that emitted a hint of coldness. Qin Chen and the others had never seen a towering tree like this before. If Patriarch Xuan Tian was here, he would have recognized it as the Moon-Palace divine tree. The Moon-Palace divine tree was not easy to find. Even in the depths of Buzhou Mountain in the Divine Illusionary realm, it was not easy to find. The Moon-Palace divine tree was very rare. After some time, Qin Chen and the others had walked a long distance in the Moon-Palace divine tree. Suddenly, Qin Chen stopped in his tracks, because he saw a thatched cottage. This cottage seemed to have existed for countless years. Vaguely, Qin Chen and the others saw some shadows. It seemed that someone had been here before. However, when they approached, they realized that the people here had long disappeared. They saw nothing. Qin Chen walked forward step by step, and everyone followed him. They wondered why there was a thatched cottage here. It looked like it had been a long time since anyone had occupied it. What was this place? Qin Chen slowly walked to the front of the cottage and gently pushed open the door. The door creaked, sounding as if something had been disturbed. Qin Chen walked in. At the same time, fear rose in everyone¡¯s hearts. This was because there was a terrifying power remaining in the thatched cottage. Just the terrifying power remnant alone made them feel like they were about to go crazy. Qin Chen smiled. Who left behind this terrifying power? He could feel the remnants of divinity in the power. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t felt the remnants of divinity in the depths of Buzhou Mountain for a long time. One had to know that he could check-in. As long as there was divinity, he would be able to check-in. At that time, he would naturally be able to obtain treasures. Feeling the terrifying power aura, the others did not continue moving forward. They only watched as Qin Chen entered the thatched cottage alone. They couldn¡¯t help but feel worried for him. It was still alright, though. After all, no danger should be able to threaten the current Qin Chen. Even the terrifying black beetle they had just encountered had been unable to kill Qin Chen. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the thatched cottage. At this moment, Qin Chen was already in the thatched cottage. He didn¡¯t expect the power in the thatched cottage to seem to be getting stronger. Qin Chen felt the terrifying divinity and his heart raced. To be able to leave behind such terrifying divinity, a powerful existence must have left behind this thatched cottage. As long as Qin Chen could get close to the divinity, he would naturally be able to break through. At that time, he would be able to obtain treasures. After entering the cottage, Qin Chen saw a stone table. The stone table seemed to have fused with the cottage. The whole place seemed like a painting that was one with the world. ¡°It should be this stone table, right?¡± Qin Chen continued to approach, and the terrifying aura became increasingly terrifying. It actually caused everyone¡¯s heart to palpitate. They were outside the thatched cottage, constantly worrying about Qin Chen. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding, dong!] [An extremely powerful divinity has been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] As expected, Qin Chen could check in at the stone table, which indeed had powerful divinity remnants. ¡°Check in!¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. [Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in to Daoist Bai Jin¡¯s place of ascension and obtained the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower!] [Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower: It was left behind by Daoist Bai Jin when he broke through and ascended to the Celestial Realm. It is said to have an unbelievable power that can allow one to break through. It can even help one condense energy. It is a peerless treasure.] Hearing this, Qin Chen was extremely excited. To think the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower was an item from the Celestial Realm that was left behind by an ascended expert. Qin Chen had learned a celestial technique before, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. The technique¡¯s power was terrifying. From this, it could be seen how precious this Silver Moon Cloud Shattering Flower was. Qin Chen looked at his hand. He was incomparably excited. After all, the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower was a treasure that had come from the Celestial Realm. Its value was self-evident. In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, a precious flower with divine multicolored light appeared. It was gorgeous and gave off an otherworldly feeling. It wasn¡¯t vulgar but instead gave off a feeling that one could only look at it from afar and not touch it. ¡°So this is the treasure that fell from the Celestial Realm, huh?¡± Qin Chen couldn¡¯t believe that there was a treasure better than the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower in the entire Buzhou Mountain. Just what kind of expert was Daoist Bai Jin? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know him, but for the expert to actually be able to break through to the next realm and ascend, it was obvious how terrifying the other party was. If Qin Chen hadn¡¯t seen it, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have known. But now, he did know. This terrifying Daoist Bai Jin was probably one of the top experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm. There shouldn¡¯t be too many experts who could reach this level. On a side note, it was also thanks to this fellow that Qin Chen could obtain the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower that came from the Celestial Realm. However, this also made Qin Chen come to a realization. He had a feeling that the Divine Illusionary Realm had experts running amok. There were simply too many experts. When Qin Chen left the thatched cottage, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t encounter any danger. Qin Chen had already put away the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower. After all, this treasure would probably attract the attention of many powerful existences. Chapter 573 - 573 Nine Nether Mountain Master 573 Nine Nether Mountain Master Qin Chen walked towards the crowd and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Now, they already had powerful strength. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t put the treasure away, powerful existences would come to snatch it based on how precious the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower was. Now that Qin Chen had obtained great fortune in the cottage, there was no point in him staying any longer. He left with everyone. It didn¡¯t take too long for them to arrive at a huge door. The door was enormous, but what they did not expect was that it seemed to be the same as the bronze door from before, leading to another world. There seemed to be many such passages in Buzhou Mountain. Qin Chen and the others stopped in their tracks. After all, they needed time to refine the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower. Qin Chen divided the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower into six portions, just enough for each of them to have a portion. Even if the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower could not help them break through, it could at least make them stronger. One had to know that this was a treasure from the Celestial Realm. Back when Qin Chen was in the nine Heavens and ten lands, he had learned a celestial technique, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. It was even more terrifying than he had imagined. As such, Qin Chen was looking forward to seeing how powerful this flower was. Just as everyone was about to refine it, a terrifying aura came over. It came from the giant door in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. The expressions of Qin Chen and the others changed drastically. The reason why they came here was to hide and refine the flower to avoid any accidents. But now, they had just hidden here and could already sense a terrifying fluctuation. Qin Chen had everyone put away the Silvermoon Cloudshatter Flower. After they did so, the giant door became even more terrifying. It seemed to be releasing many terrifying auras. These terrifying auras were very powerful, seemingly even stronger than Patriarch Xuan Tian. The flame-wing beast clenched its fists. If it could take the last step and break through the bottleneck, it would be able to stand on the same level as Patriarch Xuan Tian. At that time, what danger could threaten it? Qin Chen looked at the giant door and saw something walking out. This aura could be said to be incomparably terrifying. Qin Chen was unable to react instantly. What was going on? Then, an illusory figure slowly appeared from the giant door. This figure was like a stream of light, extremely terrifying. Everyone felt a heavy pressure in their hearts. No matter how many treasures they had, or how many opportunities and fortunes they found, it was impossible for them to break through to a powerful realm so quickly. Currently, they couldn¡¯t even protect themselves. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hair stood on end. They looked at the illusory figure that was walking out of the huge door. The other party seemed to be trying to leave the giant door. However, as soon as he tried to do so, a chain that was like lightning would whip him, making his figure increasingly illusory. This was something that no one had expected. This illusory figure could not leave the huge door at all. The reason why the other party wanted to leave the giant door was that he felt living beings appear near the giant door. Qin Chen was extremely fearful because the figure inside the giant door was staring at him. Although he hadn¡¯t said anything, he seemed to have attracted the attention of the figure inside the giant door. God knows how many days the existence inside the giant door had been imprisoned inside. However, he could tell from the fact that the other party had been inside the huge door the entire time that the latter really wanted to escape. To be able to suppress such an expert within the door, it was evident how powerful the person who did it was. ¡°You, come here!¡± A voice rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. This voice was emitted by the figure inside the giant door. Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect that this fellow could actually speak. ¡°Me?¡± Qin Chen pointed at himself. The voice confirmed once again. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the existence behind this huge door was. Even though he was suppressed by the giant door, he was still not too weak. After Qin Chen slowly and carefully walked over, the figure smiled, ¡°Young man, I can see that your physical body and talent are extraordinary. It just so happens that I have a great fortune here that I want to give to you. After all, the two of us are fated. How is it?¡± Qin Chen asked calmly, ¡°What good fortune? ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. As long as you agree to one condition, this great fortune will definitely be yours. I won¡¯t run!¡± If he did agree, then Qin Chen really wouldn¡¯t be able to run. ¡°Forget it, forget it. My talent is not that good. This good fortune should not be wasted on me. I don¡¯t have the good fortune of enjoying it, so senior, please enjoy it yourself.¡± Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, the figure almost went crazy. Was this kid pretending to be dumb in front of him? ¡°You must take this good fortune!¡± Qin Chen turned his head and left, throwing out a sentence from the corner of his mouth, ¡°We¡¯re not fated. If I take this good fortune, I will be punished by the heavens instead.¡± In fact, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was beating fast. After all, he did not have the confidence to face the figure under the huge door. Although the other party was trapped there, God knows if he could kill Qin Chen from a distance. As time passed, nothing happened to Qin Chen. This meant that the figure shouldn¡¯t be able to attack him. ¡°Young man, wait a moment. I have something to tell you. Why don¡¯t you do me a favor? How about it? I will definitely repay you handsomely! I am the Nine Nether Mountain Master. As long as you help me, I will definitely give you a great benefit.¡± The figure within the door used a pleading tone, trying to tempt Qin Chen. After all, he was trapped. If he could move, he would have killed this stubborn human cultivator long ago. Qin Chen only felt that this so-called expert didn¡¯t have the bearing of an expert. God knows how the other party had reached his current realm. By sheer luck, perhaps. The figure trapped in the giant door could sense Qin Chen¡¯s thoughts. At this moment, he was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. He was the Nine Nether Mountain Master who had once dominated a region. His ancestor, Gai Jiuyou, was a legend of an era. As a descendant of Gai Jiuyou, to think he had fallen to such a state and was even belittled by an ant-like human cultivator. This was simply slapping him. ¡°Too young and too naive,¡± Qin Chen gave a brief evaluation of the Nine Nether Mountain Master in his heart. Chapter 574 - 574 Haitian Nirvana Pill 574 Haitian Nirvana Pill Even though Qin Chen hadn¡¯t experienced any of this, he could guess that the Nine Nether Mountain Master wanted his help to escape from the giant door. If his ending was slightly better, he could still live after he helped the other party. If the Nine Nether Mountain Master was a bit more ruthless and had a more brutal personality, Qin Chen would probably be living a life worse than death. He would rather save a dog rather than another person. After all, the human heart was unpredictable and the world of cultivation world was dangerous. Qin Chen let out a sigh. To think the Nine Nether Mountain Master wanted to tempt him with just that? In his dreams! To think the other party dared to play such a small trick in front of Qin Chen. One had to know that Qin Chen was quite experienced in tricks like this. The Nine Nether Mountain Master stood in the giant door in a daze. His body was trembling, and his face was expressionless. What did this human cultivator say? He would rather save a dog than save him? The Nine Nether Mountain Lord admitted that he was gambling, but he didn¡¯t expect that even a great fortune wouldn¡¯t be able to attract Qin Chen. One had to know that this was a guarantee from him, the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Although he had killed countless people and massacred thousands of miles of land, he was still a person who kept his promises. How would he do such a thing as kill his benefactor? Everyone also felt that the figure inside the huge door seemed to have suffered a blow. The big scorpion said, ¡°Looks like this guy is just for show. He looks great but is useless. He can¡¯t hold on any longer.¡± After that, Qin Chen moved away. The Nine Nether Mountain Master transmitted his voice to Qin Chen again, causing him to finally stop. ¡°Fellow Daoist! I can swear a Heavenly Dao oath. If you are willing to help me do one thing, I will give you a great fortune and give you a heaven-grade treasure. How is it?¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect that the Nine Nether Mountain Master would be willing to offer so much. One had to know that Qin Chen was currently only at level 7 of the God realm. Even if he wanted to help the Nine Nether Mountain Master escape, he probably didn¡¯t have the ability to do so. After all, the fact that the Nine Nether Mountain Master was suppressed here was enough to show how terrifying this huge door was. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master finally calmed down. He let out a breath and continued, ¡°Help me escape. You just need to resist the door for a moment, and I¡¯ll be able to escape.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen laughed. He could feel the terrifying pressure from the door, so he said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t be able to withstand this door.¡± But now, if he didn¡¯t plead for help from Qin Chen and the others, God knows how long the Nine Nether Mountain Master would have to wait to escape. ¡°You only need to resist it for a moment. I have a way to deal with the rest.¡± A great fortune and a heaven-grade treasure. To be honest, Qin Chen was somewhat tempted. In Buzhou Mountain, a heaven-grade treasure was the best treasure. Even Ouyang Gui, who was even more powerful than Patriarch Xuan Tian, would be tempted by such a treasure. If he could obtain it, Qin Chen might be able to step into the God Emperor realm. What he needed the most right now was time. No one knew what the nine Heavens and ten lands had become. They had been gone for too long. Thinking of this, Qin Chen nodded. He wanted to give it a try. Besides, although his realm was low, he had all kinds of treasures. With all these treasures added together, they could easily block the attack of a terrifying existence. As such, it should be possible for him to block the huge door for an instant. The Nine Nether Mountain Master sensed Qin Chen¡¯s thoughts and couldn¡¯t help but become excited. As long as Qin Chen agreed to hold the door for a moment, he would fight to leave even if it meant risking his life. No matter the price, though he really didn¡¯t know if Qin Chen would be dead or alive after the whole process. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately gave everyone a look. Then, he circulated the Chaotic Divine Body, causing the heavens to rumble. On Qin Chen¡¯s body, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was also emitting multicolored light, helping him resist the pressure coming from the giant door. Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique, leaving behind an afterimage as he approached the giant door. The pressure of the huge door was incomparably terrifying. Even with all his strength, he might not be able to advance. If one was not careful, a weaker cultivator might be crushed into meat paste. This was how terrifying the giant door was. Right now, Qin Chen was moving forward. No matter how powerful the pressure of the giant door was, what was there for him to fear in order to obtain a heaven-grade treasure? Although the pressure of this giant door was terrifying, he was confident that he could survive. After all, it was only for a moment. The pressure of the giant door became increasingly terrifying and the world seemed to be trembling. It could be seen how powerful this giant door was. God knows what kind of powerful existence had left it behind. Then, with a loud bang, Qin Chen was struck to the ground by the pressure, creating a huge pit. Even the Nine Nether Mountain Master could not help but be shocked. To think that human weakling cultivator actually survived! This was simply unbelievable. However, no matter how shocked he was, he seized the opportunity to escape from the huge door. The immense pressure caused the Nine Nether Mountain Master to vomit blood. Still, after exhausting all his strength, he managed to escape! The Nine Nether Mountain Master had paid a huge price to escape from the giant door. After the dust on the ground slowly dispersed, Qin Chen finally stood up shakily and walked towards the crowd step by step. Everyone rushed over to catch him. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s appearance, everyone could not help but feel their hearts ache. At this moment, a terrifying fluctuation was transmitted over. The Nine Nether Mountain Master roared with laughter as if he had gone crazy. He was free! He had escaped from the suppression of the giant door! Then, he looked at Qin Chen. To think this weakling withstood the attack of the giant door and did not die. Clearly, the other party had obtained great opportunities. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have been crushed to pieces long ago. There was no way for them to survive. The Nine Nether Mountain Master smiled when he saw Qin Chen¡¯s appearance. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then threw a small pill from his storage ring over. ¡°This pill is called the Haitian Nirvana Pill. It¡¯s a heaven-grade treasure. I won¡¯t go back on my word. When you recover, I will bring you to seize a great fortune.¡± Qin Chen stretched out his hand and caught the pill. The Haitian Nirvana Pill emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance. Qin Chen wondered if he would break through after refining it. He could tell that the item was not fake. It was definitely a Heaven-grade treasure. It seemed that the Nine Nether Mountain Master was quite trustworthy. Chapter 575 - 575 Black Bamboo Forest 575 Black Bamboo Forest Qin Chen nodded. He sat cross-legged and began to recover from his injuries. Everyone didn¡¯t dare to be careless and stood in front of him. As long as the Nine Nether Mountain Master wanted to make a move, they could at least buy some time for Qin Chen. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was already injured. Although his injuries were not too serious, he could still feel the terrifying power of the giant door wreaking havoc on his body. He had just escaped and needed to recover his strength as well. Otherwise, if he encountered any accidents, he wouldn¡¯t even know how he died. Since the Nine Nether Mountain Master could cultivate to his current realm, he was naturally no idiot. As long as he could slowly recover his strength to its peak, it would simply be a piece of cake for him to obtain another heaven-grade treasure. This was the power of the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Qin Chen took out the leaf of the ancient tree of life from his storage ring and swallowed it. It did not take long for him to recover. As long as he didn¡¯t risk his life, he would be fine. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was extremely shocked as he looked at Qin Chen. He simply couldn¡¯t fathom how this human cultivator could recover so quickly. He had almost never seen anyone with such abnormal recovery speed as Qin Chen who had almost recovered by now. If he hadn¡¯t seen it with his own eyes, he would¡¯ve suspected that Qin Chen hadn¡¯t helped him withstand the attack from the giant door. Qin Chen continued forward, but there seemed to be nothing left. ¡°It¡¯s a bit far, but we need to work together for that great fortune.¡± Hearing the Nine Nether Mountain Master say that they had to join forces, Qin Chen was incredulous. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was a powerful existence. Even if Qin Chen and the others joined forces, the other party could easily suppress them without much effort at all. Was that place that terrifying? To think it was somewhere that even the Nine Nether Mountain Master felt diffident. Everyone followed Qin Chen. The Nine Nether Mountain Master led the way, wanting to bring them there. After some time, they finally arrived at a dark place. It was a black sea. Underneath was bamboo. To be precise, it was a forest of black bamboo that was like a sea. At first glance, everyone thought that they had arrived at the sea. At this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master revealed a solemn expression. He looked extremely fearful. There was a terrifying existence in the black bamboo forest ahead. Otherwise, the Nine Nether Mountain Master would not be so solemn. Qin Chen was slightly tempted. He immediately sent out his spiritual will. He wanted to see what exactly existed in the black bamboo forest. In this sea of black bamboo forest, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will was extremely inconspicuous. However, this wasn¡¯t Qin Chen¡¯s problem. After all, the strength of his spiritual will was limited. Otherwise, he would have already extended his spiritual will to cover the entire black bamboo forest. A faintly discernible aura silently approached Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will, and even Qin Chen himself didn¡¯t sense it. The aura had already arrived next to his spiritual will, but Qin Chen still didn¡¯t feel anything. Then, the terrifying aura burst out. With that, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will suddenly realized that the aura was behind him. At this point, Qin Chen trembled with fear. With that, he wanted to retract his spiritual will. Unfortunately, it was too late. The terrifying aura was like a giant python, wanting to devour Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will. If his spiritual will was devoured, the consequences would be that he would be severely injured. His primordial spirit would fall into a deep sleep. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt despair. It was already too late for him to retract his spiritual will. What the hell was that? It could not be described with common sense. Before Qin Chen could react, his spiritual will was surrounded. At this moment, an even more terrifying aura erupted. A sword light actually tore apart the python-like aura that was trying to hunt Qin Chen in the black bamboo forest. The Nine Nether Mountain Master made his move. ¡°Be careful. The main character hasn¡¯t come out yet.¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master knew very well that even he had to give way to the terrifying existence in the black bamboo forest. The one who had ambushed Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will was merely a manifestation of the other party¡¯s will. Just this alone almost caused Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will to die and be devoured. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a lingering fear. ¡°What was that just now?¡± Qin Chen was clueless about that thing¡¯s origin. If it wasn¡¯t for the Nine Nether Mountain Master, he might have already died. After all, the terrifying python¡¯s strength was far above his spiritual will. Devouring and refining Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will would simply be a piece of cake for the other party. The Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t say anything. This time, even everyone felt a terrifying aura fluctuation being emitted. What was going on? Even though they looked around, they did not find anything. Suddenly, waves surged in the black bamboo forest as if something had come out. Then, the same terrifying aura as before erupted even more powerfully. This meant that the true master of the black bamboo forest was about to appear. Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo in his hand, ready for a fierce battle. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon, two experts who had already stepped into the God Emperor realm, transformed back into their huge bodies. ¡°He is finally appearing¡­¡± After saying these words, the Nine Nether Mountain Master closed his eyes as if he was secretly searching for the other party. The other party was also looking for him. It was like a hunter meeting his prey. What would happen if the hunter and the prey met? A good show would probably erupt. In the black bamboo forest, the terrifying aura pressure became increasingly terrifying. Everyone felt as if their breathing was about to stop. When the ¡°main character¡± mentioned by the Nine Nether Mountain Master came out, something big would definitely happen. It was very likely that some of them would die. At a certain moment, the prey and the hunter met. For a moment, it was difficult to tell who was the hunter and who was the prey. The Nine Nether Mountain Master shouted, ¡°Nine Tribulations Sword Array!¡± Then, a terrifying sword array appeared behind him, turning into nine divine swords that slashed forward. This terrifying sword array was actually unable to shatter the black bamboo forest. Qin Chen and the others were incomparably shocked. How was this possible? At this moment, a tentacle flew out from the black bamboo forest. It was so terrifying that it tore through the void! Chapter 576 - 576 Hes Here 576 He¡¯s Here This tentacle was a limb of some unknown creature. It was so terrifying that it swept the nine divine swords back and ruthlessly sent them flying. The Nine Nether Mountain Master sighed, ¡°This black bamboo forest has clearly been refined by the demonic insect.¡± To be able to withstand his Nine Tribulations Sword Array, one could imagine how terrifying the demonic insect in the black bamboo forest was. According to the Nine Nether Mountain Master, a terrifying demonic insect was here. It had a powerful background, and even he could only vaguely guess what it was. However, he didn¡¯t tell Qin Chen about it, and Qin Chen didn¡¯t ask about it either. The tentacle danced as if it was provoking the Nine Nether Mountain Master and the others. Since things had already come to this point, regardless of whether it was a demonic insect or celestial insect that guarded the great fortune here, they had to take the other party down. Thinking of this, everyone nodded. Although they were weak, they would definitely help if they could. Qin Chen was already on the same side as the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Now, their goal was to snatch the great fortune from the hands of the terrifying demonic insect. The Nine Nether Mountain Master had always been thinking about the great fortune here. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have brought Qin Chen over. With his strength alone, he might not be able to seize the fortune. Therefore, he chose to let Qin Chen and the others act according to the situation and fish in troubled waters. In the meantime, he only needed to attract the attention of the demonic insect and resist its attacks. At that time, Qin Chen and the others would have a chance to obtain great fortune. But now, it seemed that the demonic insect was not ready to appear. Instead, it was waiting. At the thought of this, everyone felt fear. No one knew how powerful the demonic insect was. According to the Nine Nether Mountain Master, this black bamboo forest had already been refined into a nest by the demonic insects. If they chose to fight here, they might suffer a huge loss. After all, there was still quite a huge gap between their strength and the demonic insect¡¯s strength. Seeing that the Nine Nether Mountain Master had already made his move, everyone smiled. After all, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was definitely not someone to be trifled with. In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, the reason why the Nine Nether Mountain Master was able to live until now must be that he was a cunning old man. Then, the Nine Nether Mountain Master unleashed his powerful attack. In an instant, a terrifying pressure descended. The pressure was incomparably terrifying. Even if Qin Chen tried to resist it, he might not be able to do so. In an instant, the tentacle erupted with a terrifying might. The power was so scary that no one could resist it. Qin Chen could sense that even Patriarch Xuan Tian would be instantly killed. In Buzhou Mountain, there were quite a few such powerful beings. After all, the Divine Illusionary Realm had too many opportunities, fortunes, and resources. The nine Heavens, ten lands, and even the cosmic could not compare to it. Fortunately, the experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm could not enter the nine Heavens, ten lands, or the cosmic since the ancient era. The nine Heavens and ten lands had been at their most glorious during the ancient era. There were invincible ancient great emperors, and the times were incomparably dazzling. Even the experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm had to be wary. However, as time passed, for some reason, the resources in the nine Heavens and ten lands decreased, and the spiritual energy gradually weakened. If it was in the ancient era, countless existences could become powerful. As long as they had powerful spiritual energy, they could rely on their monstrous talent to become top-tier experts. If Qin Chen had lived in the ancient era, he would have become incomparably powerful. Qin Chen and the others immediately retreated when they saw the huge tentacle lashing at the Nine Nether Mountain Master. They could not participate in this kind of battle between celestials. The Nine Nether Mountain Master growled. He was no ordinary person. If he went all out, he should be able to kill this demonic insect. However, which living being in the depths of Buzhou Mountain didn¡¯t have a trump card or two? Therefore, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was only testing the waters. At the same time, the demonic insect was also using its tentacles to test the Nine Nether Mountain Master. After some time, the Nine Nether Mountain Master had figured out the current strength of the demonic insect. Then, he emitted a terrifying fluctuation and slashed out with his sword. ¡°Star Destruction Sword Technique!¡± A terrifying sword slashed out. It was as if it could destroy a star. It was extremely terrifying. To have such a powerful might, the terrifying sword technique could be called deadly! The tentacle also exploded with shocking power. It sensed that the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s sword was terrifying, so it naturally wouldn¡¯t let the attack hit. The demonic insect attacked again, wanting to block the sword attack. However, the sword attack was extremely terrifying. Even with all its strength, it was impossible for it to completely block it. Boom! Rip! The tentacle was instantly torn apart layer by layer, turning into nothingness as it was strangled by the sword energy. The demonic insect, who was hiding in the black bamboo forest, could not help but gasp in shock and anger. This damned Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s sword was extremely terrifying. Its tentacles, which were its magic item in combat, had been completely destroyed. Then, the sword energy continued to slash at the black bamboo forest. What the Nine Nether Mountain Master wanted to do was to force out the terrifying demonic insect. As long as he could stall the demonic insect for a while, he believed that Qin Chen and the others should have a way to seize the great fortune. He and Qin Chen had reached an agreement long ago. If they obtained the great fortune of the demonic insect, they would split it equally. The Nine Nether Mountain Master had been craving the demonic insect¡¯s great fortune for a long time. As time passed, the demonic insect went all out. If it still didn¡¯t show itself, the black bamboo forest would probably be destroyed by the Nine Nether Mountain Master. This was its lair, so it naturally could not allow the place to be destroyed. The Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s expression was extremely solemn as he watched a terrifying fluctuation erupt. He could feel the power of the demonic insect. He didn¡¯t know why the demonic insect was so powerful, but it must have something to do with the good fortune in this place. If he could obtain it, he would definitely become even stronger. ¡°It¡¯s here.¡± Hearing the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s words, Qin Chen and the others were shocked. This was because a path had been swept open in the black bamboo forest. A huge green insect flew into the sky, its body emitting terrifying pressure. If they were to fight, they would probably not be a match for this green insect at all. This was because the power of the black bamboo forest was constantly gathering in the green insect¡¯s body. ¡°How can it be so powerful?¡± Chapter 577 - 577 Azure Dragon Insect 577 Azure Dragon Insect Even though the Nine Nether Mountain Master had made many preparations, he did not expect the demonic insect to be so terrifying. If it was allowed to continue to break through, what would happen? By then, before the Nine Nether Mountain Master could make a move, the demonic insect would come after him instead. ¡°The azure dragon insect!¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master exclaimed in his heart. When he saw that the terrifying demonic insect was actually the azure dragon insect, he was extremely surprised. After all, hadn¡¯t such a terrifying creature disappeared from the Divine Illusionary Realm a long time ago? How could such a terrifying expert of the race appear? One should know that after the azure dragon insect broke through, it would transform and be reborn. At that time, it would become the infamous azure butterfly in history. The azure butterfly was a terrifying creature in the ancient era. Legend had it that the ancestor of the azure butterfly had killed countless experts then. Now, after countless years, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was naturally very surprised to see an azure dragon insect again. Upon hearing the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s fear, Qin Chen and the others began to observe the insect. The azure dragon insect let out a furious roar. In its opinion, the uninvited guests probably came with ill intentions. Clearly, their fight was just the beginning. Qin Chen carefully observed the azure dragon insect and found that its head did look like a dragon. However, its body lacked the terrifying dragon¡¯s might. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, get lost! Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that all of you will die here.¡± Hearing the threat of the azure dragon insect, the Nine Nether Mountain Master did not take budge. There was no fear in his eyes. After all, he was confident in his strength. The azure dragon insect couldn¡¯t defeat him. He only needed to stall it and let Qin Chen and the others take the treasure. Although he could not do anything to the azure dragon insect either, it should not be a problem for him to resist this terrifying existence. Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Mountain Master laughed loudly. ¡°Azure dragon insect, if I¡¯m not wrong, you don¡¯t have the strength of your peak, right? The azure dragon insect race has the chance to morph once in a lifetime. If you can successfully morph, you will achieve atavism and become an azure butterfly. So, even if you go all out now, you might not be able to defeat me.¡± Since the Nine Nether Mountain Master recognized the azure dragon insect, he must have heard that this terrifying creature was undergoing an atavism transformation. The Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t know what stage the other party had reached and whether he should deal with it. ¡°If you don¡¯t retreat, you can try. I can suppress my morphing process at any time.¡± ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master couldn¡¯t help but sigh. What a great expert. Unfortunately, its brain wasn¡¯t good. If it had taken away the great opportunity here from the beginning, there wouldn¡¯t have been any problems. And now, it was targeted by the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Since the Nine Nether Mountain Master had decided to make his move, he would not give up. ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± At this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master had already sent a voice transmission to Qin Chen and the others. ¡°When the battle starts, I¡¯ll stop this guy. You guys charge into the black bamboo forest and snatch the most precious fortune.¡± Hearing this, everyone looked at the black bamboo forest excitedly. God knows what good things were inside. After all, they were already prepared. As long as they could obtain a great fortune, they were willing to do anything. Besides, the azure dragon insect was powerful. The treasure it was guarding must be of the highest grade. Qin Chen and the others were very bold to act right under the eyes of the azure dragon insect. If it wasn¡¯t for the Nine Nether Mountain Master backing them up, they wouldn¡¯t have dared to do this. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen and the others had already made their preparations. ¡°Good words are hard to persuade someone persistent in seeking their deaths,¡± The azure dragon insect said slowly. In an instant, it erupted with a terrifying fluctuation, wanting to finish off the Nine Nether Mountain Master. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was no ordinary cultivator. After all, he must be very powerful to be able to enter the depths of Mount Buzhou. As such, the azure dragon insect did not dare to underestimate the Nine Nether Mountain Master either. The Nine Nether Mountain Master struck first and instantly unleashed his divine sword again, ¡°Nine Tribulations Sword Array!¡± In an instant, the nine terrifying divine swords turned into sharp lights and instantly pierced the azure dragon insect. The azure dragon insect was extremely powerful. It launched several terrifying attacks, trying to block the nine divine swords that were emitting multicolored light. In less than a moment, the nine divine swords arrived before the azure dragon insect, causing a massive explosion. ¡°Die!¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master wouldn¡¯t hold back. If he didn¡¯t block the azure dragon insect, it might explode with even more terrifying power. At that time, Qin Chen and the others wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the black bamboo forest. Once again, the nine divine swords were wrapped in the power of lightning as they ruthlessly attacked the azure dragon insect. No matter what, they could not let this fellow escape. Looking at this terrifying attack, the azure dragon insect knew that it could not dodge it. Then, it gathered its power and turned into the illusory figure of an azure butterfly, attacking the Nine Nether Mountain Master. The divine sword once again collided with the azure butterfly¡¯s attack. One could imagine how terrifying these terrifying attacks were. Even the aftermath of the battle was not something Qin Chen and the others could withstand. The terrifying attacks erupted, and in less than half a minute, they exchanged moves hundreds of times. Now was the time! Qin Chen took a deep breath. Then, he led everyone into the black bamboo forest. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± This was an excellent opportunity. Now that the azure dragon insect was being held back, it didn¡¯t have any time to deal with Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen knew that only by seizing this opportunity would he be able to obtain the treasures within the black bamboo forest. Thinking of this, Qin Chen instantly entered. Seeing that human cultivators were entering the bamboo forest, the azure dragon insect knew that these weaklings were coveting its fortune! The Nine Nether Mountain Master looked at the azure dragon insect and couldn¡¯t help but sneer. Even if the azure dragon insect saw through their plan, so what? It had no time to deal with Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Your opponent is me! Don¡¯t get distracted.¡± The divine power in the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s body surged, and countless laws condensed as he ruthlessly attacked the azure dragon insect. No matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t allow the azure dragon insect to leave. With him around, how could he let the other party escape? ¡°Damn it!¡± The azure dragon insect trembled. These human cultivators were after its great fortune. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others had already entered the black bamboo forest and searched the place. Chapter 578 - 578 Old Cunning Fox 578 Old Cunning Fox The black bamboo forest was, after all, the lair of the azure dragon insect. There were many dangers in it. Qin Chen and the others weren¡¯t foolish enough to think that they could rest easy just because the Nine Nether Mountain Master had restrained the azure dragon insect. ¡°Get lost!¡± The azure dragon insect let out a furious roar. It was truly enraged now. These guys really didn¡¯t know their limits. To think they entered its black bamboo forest. The azure dragon insect spat out a mouthful of flame-like energy, wanting to melt the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Unfortunately, it was in a hurry to escape and had no intention of fighting. Otherwise, the attack would be much stronger. Thinking of this, everyone was shocked. No one had expected the azure dragon insect to be so terrifying. The attack it released melted even the void. ¡°Nine Tribulations Coiled Dragon Sword Array!¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master knew how terrifying this attack was, and he immediately used his trump card. If this move was used, even the azure dragon insect would not be able to withstand it. The Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t know how the azure dragon insect could be so terrifying, but fortunately, he was confident that he could withstand this attack. The Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s sword energy seemed to have turned into chaos. A divine dragon roared in it, letting out a terrifying dragon clamor. It destroyed the energy released by the azure dragon insect in one go. ¡°Hurry!¡± Qin Chen hurriedly said to the crowd. If this continued, they couldn¡¯t make it in time. After all, how long could the Nine Nether Mountain Master stall the azure dragon insect? As the Nine Nether Mountain Master continued to attack, even Qin Chen noticed that the azure dragon insect¡¯s power seemed to be slowly decreasing. Although it was decreasing very slowly, abnormalities could still be observed. When the Nine Nether Mountain Master was forced back, he laughed instead. The azure dragon insect could not help but curse in its heart. After all, it was about to morph and reach atavism. During this period, its strength would greatly decrease. After some time, the Nine Nether Mountain Master laughed. He was indeed injured, but the azure dragon insect was also severely injured. Qin Chen and the others were currently in the black bamboo forest, still searching for great fortunes. After all, the reason they came here was for great fortune. As long as they obtained it, they would be able to increase their cultivation prowess. In front of them was a dangerous aura. This aura was none other than the rule power left behind by the azure dragon insect. Looking at this terrifying rule energy, even Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. The terrifying rule seemed to have a life of its own. For the azure dragon insect to be able to condense rules was enough to show how terrifying it was. It had already reached a point where it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Qin Chen took a glance and made a decision. He immediately charged over. Soon, Qin Chen activated the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body and unleashed the divine power within his body. His Chaotic Divine Body shook the heavens. He used the Moving Secret Technique and charged over, penetrating the rule power. As for the others, they couldn¡¯t move forward with him. After all, it was already extremely difficult for Qin Chen to surpass the terrifying rule power alone with his many treasures, let alone bring people along. It was simply impossible. Therefore, everyone could only wait for him. After Qin Chen had surpassed the rule power, he was extremely terrified. He saw thread-like rule powers in front of him. Silk-like psychokinesis power and profound rules. The azure dragon insect had actually reached such a level? If that were the case, the Nine Nether Mountain Master would be in danger. However, this wasn¡¯t something Qin Chen was worried about. After all, the two didn¡¯t have much of a relationship. If he could obtain the fortune of this place, the Nine Nether Mountain Master would definitely get half of it. However, it was impossible for the latter to obtain the fortune of this place by himself. As such, the relationship between the two of them was at most one of cooperation. Therefore, even if the Nine Nether Mountain Master died, it had nothing to do with Qin Chen. Qin Chen frowned. ¡°It would be bad if the Nine Nether Mountain Master was killed though. When the azure dragon insect frees its hands¡­¡± They would definitely be annihilated. Therefore, Qin Chen still chose to inform the Nine Nether Mountain Master. When the Nine Nether Mountain Master heard Qin Chen¡¯s voice transmission, he was stunned. What was that? Silk-like psychokinesis power? Profound rules? Could it be that the azure dragon insect was showing weakness? He had always had the upper hand. Perhaps the azure dragon insect was luring him. When the time came, it would attack him instead. Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Mountain Masters shuddered. He couldn¡¯t help but break out in cold sweat. Fortunately, Qin Chen had informed him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even know how he died. In the following battle, the Nine Nether Mountain Master kept his guard up and did not dare to be careless. As for Qin Chen, he braced himself and continued to rush over. In an instant, he was struck by a huge attack. Fortunately, Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him, which blocked most of the attacks. As such, he managed to endure the remaining attacks. The azure dragon insect was furious. Someone was approaching its fortune! Logically speaking, it was impossible for those ant-like human cultivators to get close. What was going on? Thinking of this, the azure dragon insect was about to go crazy. It had almost succeeded in luring the Nine Nether Mountain Master to drop his guard. But now, the latter was incredibly vigilant. If this continued, it would not be able to find an opportunity. The azure dragon insect revealed its flaws several times. Unfortunately, its opponent was still constantly on guard, making it unable to do anything. If this continued, the azure dragon insect was sure that its fortune would change. Therefore, it couldn¡¯t wait any longer. It immediately attacked, and a terrifying attack landed on the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Terrifying rule power interweaved like threads, enough to kill ordinary top-notch experts. At this point, the azure dragon insect had revealed its trump card. Unfortunately, the attack didn¡¯t hit the Nine Nether Mountain Master at all. After all, he had long been on guard. There was only the afterimage of the Nine Nether Mountain Master on the spot. He was not something that ordinary experts could hit. ¡°That was close! This azure dragon insect is indeed a cunning old fox!¡± Previously, the azure dragon insect had been deliberately showing weakness and almost fooled the Nine Nether Mountain Master. If he really fell into its hands, he would probably die of depression. The azure dragon insect¡¯s acting was too good. Qin Chen could sense that the battle between the Nine Nether Mountain Master and the azure dragon insect had reached its climax. He did not have much time left. Chapter 579 - 579 Cant Turn Back 579 Can¡¯t Turn Back Immediately after, Qin Chen swallowed the leaves of the ancient tree of life. The powerful vitality healed his injuries. Qin Chen looked ahead. There was an unknown amount of powerful rule power ahead. However, he had no choice but to use the shortest amount of time to cross over. During this time, Qin Chen went all out. Otherwise, he might die. After all, even if the Nine Nether Mountain Master was on guard in the azure dragon insect¡¯s territory, he would not be able to last long. Therefore, Qin Chen had to find the azure dragon insect¡¯s great fortune in the shortest time possible. Only then would he be able to break through. Otherwise, he might die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to activate the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, reviving it and charging forward. No one had expected the azure dragon insect¡¯s terrifying attack to be so powerful. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was directly blasted into the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura withered. That being said, he still had the strength to fight. The crazier the azure dragon insect was, the more it meant that it was anxious. God knows how long it would take for Qin Chen to obtain the great fortune. As long as he could succeed, he would naturally become stronger. He would also be able to glimpse an even more powerful realm. Seeing that the Nine Nether Mountain Master was injured, the azure dragon insect wanted to head over to kill Qin Chen. After all, Qin Chen was approaching its great fortune. Every time Qin Chen passed through the rule power, the azure dragon insect would sense it. ¡°Don¡¯t run! Your opponent is me!¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master leaped from the ground and charged toward the azure dragon insect while wielding his long sword. His face was filled with anger. No matter what, he had to stop this guy. He could not let the azure dragon insect return to its nest. If that happened, all his previous efforts would be in vain. ¡°Nine Tribulations Sword Array!¡± In an instant, eight swords suddenly appeared in the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s hand. Together with the divine sword in his hand, they turned into a sword array and attacked the azure dragon insect. Unexpectedly, the terrifying sword array was repelled when it was about to approach the azure dragon insect. The other party¡¯s terrifying strength shocked the Nine Nether Mountain Master. ¡°Get lost! Otherwise, die!¡± The azure dragon insect was truly enraged. It was no lunatic. It was only so mad because Qin Chen was only one step away from its great fortune. Just as the azure dragon insect was about to continue moving forward, a terrifying fluctuation came from behind it again. The Nine Nether Mountain Master unleashed all his strength. In an instant, his body became extremely tall and straight, like a huge mountain. The divine sword in his hand also turned into a towering giant sword, carrying terrifying pressure as it crushed down inch by inch. The huge divine sword descended from the sky! It carried boundless power and divine might that could seemingly overturn the heavens. It was so terrifying! No matter how anxious the azure dragon insect was, it could only turn around to block this terrifying attack. No one had expected the Nine Nether Mountain Master to be so powerful when he unleashed his full strength. This made the azure dragon insect sneer in its heart. This guy had indeed been hiding his strength and hadn¡¯t unleashed his full strength just now. ¡°I told you that your opponent is me. If you want to go over, you have to step over my dead body first!¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master laughed loudly. It had been a long time since he had fought to his heart¡¯s content. He hadn¡¯t felt this way for a long time. If the azure dragon insect did not undergo atavism which caused its strength did not decrease, the Nine Nether Mountain Master wouldn¡¯t have been able to fight it. But now, he could use this opportunity to stop the other party. As long as Qin Chen and the others could obtain the azure dragon insect¡¯s great fortune, everything would be worth it. The azure dragon insect laughed, ¡°Are you worthy of being my opponent? ¡± If it was before, the azure dragon insect would not have put the Nine Nether Mountain Master in its eyes. Unfortunately, it could only face the other party head-on now. After all, it was currently not strong enough to ignore the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Therefore, they started to fight again. The fight this time was even fiercer than the last time. The void shattered and shook. Just the aftershock alone was already so terrifying. Everyone was terrified. Just the aftershocks of such terrifying attacks alone were enough to make them unable to breathe. One could imagine how terrifying those attacks were. The Nine Nether Mountain Master laughed and continued to fight the azure dragon insect. ¡°Their strength is too terrifying,¡± The big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but feel terrified. The moment they exchanged blows, everyone felt as if the world was about to be destroyed. The Nine Nether Mountain Master charged over. Qin Chen naturally felt the aftershocks of the fight as well. However, he didn¡¯t have much attention to spare now. He looked at the terrifying rule power in front of him and felt pressure in his heart. The rule energy here was even more terrifying. If he insisted on killing his way over, he might die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart bubbled with determination. Since he was already here, how could he retreat? He couldn¡¯t return empty-handed. At this point, Qin Chen swallowed and refined the leaves of the ancient tree of life. He then activated his Chaotic Divine Body once again and revived the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Following this, he charged forward. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less about the consequences. Even if he was severely injured, he would accept it! ¡°Roar!¡± The azure dragon insect could sense that Qin Chen had reached the final moment. However, it couldn¡¯t escape from the crazed Nine Nether Mountain Master. When it thought of this, it burned with anger. These damned fellows! Qin Chen barged into it. However, he didn¡¯t expect the rule power here to be so terrifying, instantly wounding him severely. Still, he had no choice but to continue moving forward. No one knew why Qin Chen was so desperate. Only Qin Chen himself knew that if he didn¡¯t risk his life, he wouldn¡¯t be able to protect his friends and family back in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Let alone them, he could not even protect himself. By the time he returned to the nine Heavens, ten lands, and even the cosmic, who knew how many enemies would come for revenge? If Qin Chen didn¡¯t have great strength, death would be his certain outcome. That was why he was so desperate to raise his cultivation prowess. Otherwise, he might die. ¡°Hu hu¡­¡± Qin Chen panted heavily. Countless cuts had appeared all over his due to the rule power. However, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He could only move forward. Even if there was a bottomless abyss in front of him, he could not turn back. Pu! Qin Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His consciousness was fading. Chapter 580 - 580 Seizing the Fortune 580 Seizing the Fortune At this moment, Qin Chen was on the verge of collapse. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to withstand the terrifying rule power. On the other side, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was already vomiting blood. After all, they were not playing around. A slight flaw in a fight between experts could make them lose their lives. At this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master did not dare to be careless. It was the same for the azure dragon insect. Still, no matter how cautious they were, they would inevitably be injured by the other party¡¯s attacks. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness was already blurry and he was on the verge of dying. If he fell into a coma, he might die here. The reason why Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness was in such a state was that the attack just now was too terrifying, shocking his primordial spirit. If his primordial spirit had problems, Qin Chen would die immediately. Qin Chen continued to walk forward, but unfortunately, his consciousness gradually blurred and he fell to the ground with a thud. At this moment, the Chaos Divine Wheel in Qin Chen¡¯s body started emitting multicolored light. A wave of pure energy entered his body, causing him to slowly awaken. If this continued, Qin Chen could not guarantee how long he could last. At this moment, he realized that the pure energy just now was emitted by the Chaos Divine Wheel. The Chaos Divine Wheel had, after all, already recognized him as its master. As such, it couldn¡¯t just see Qin Chen die like this. Qin Chen stood up and walked forward. He kept swallowing the leaves of the ancient tree of life to refine them. The boundless vitality from the leaves of the ancient tree of life healed Qin Chen¡¯s injuries. Unfortunately, even with the help of the leaves, he was still struggling. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body chimed with terrifying sounds as if it was about to collapse. This was caused by the huge energy bombardment just now. The dense rule power here was extremely terrifying. It could also be considered one of the countermeasures left behind by the azure dragon insect. Right now, Qin Chen was already close to the core area. The closer he got to the core area, the more terrifying the attacks he received. However, he still didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Even if he died, he had to move forward. He couldn¡¯t just fall here. In an instant, Qin Chen once again knelt on the ground with a thud. This time, it was not because his consciousness was about to become blurry, but because the pressure on his body was too strong. At this moment, the battle between the Nine Nether Mountain Master and the azure dragon insect was about to end. Both were injured, and it looked like the battle had been extremely fierce. The surroundings were almost destroyed by them. Many of the bamboo in the black bamboo forest had fallen. Qin Chen continued to walk forward. He didn¡¯t expect that what awaited him ahead was even more terrifying killing intent. A wave of baleful energy appeared in front of him, coming toward him. Qin Chen had never seen such baleful energy before. It was as if countless vengeful souls were making horrifying sounds. This seemed to be something left behind by some kind of great devil. For it to have such a ferocious power, the other party¡¯s hands would usually have been stained with countless sins. Qin Chen stood up, gritted his teeth, and continued walking forward. He didn¡¯t believe that there would be such a terrifying killing intent ahead. No matter what, even if terrifying killing intent appeared in front of him, he could only block it and continue on. Otherwise, he might die and all his previous efforts would be in vain. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took the innate sword embryo and slashed forward as if he wanted to break the energy of the blood-evil aura. However, he didn¡¯t expect the energy of the blood-evil aura to have already condensed into a solid form, and his innate sword embryo couldn¡¯t break it at all. Qin Chen abruptly spat out another mouthful of blood. What the hell was this? He looked forward and unexpectedly saw a flower that looked like it had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The terrifying energy of the blood-evil aura was released from the flower. It was enough to show how terrifying the flower¡¯s energy of the blood-evil aura was. Could this be the great fortune protected by the azure dragon insect? Qin Chen didn¡¯t have time to think about it as he continued to move forward. At this moment, he was almost unable to hold on any longer. He was relying completely on his willpower to support himself. Blood gushed out of Qin Chen¡¯s wounds. His face was pale. There was no trace of redness on his lips, and he looked as if he was about to collapse. The closer he was to the critical moment, the more Qin Chen couldn¡¯t let his guard down. He was already very close to the flower. As long as he could get his hands on the flower, he would naturally become stronger. Pu! Qin Chen abruptly spat out another mouthful of blood. His current appearance was extremely miserable. He was ragged like a beggar with bloodstains all over him. On the other side, the blood of the azure dragon insect dripped down the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s divine sword, corroding a small pit in the ground. One could imagine how terrifying the azure dragon insect was. Although the Nine Nether Mountain Master was about to collapse and looked extremely miserable, as well as heavily injured, the other party would not be feeling good either. At the thought of this, he stabbed the divine sword into the ground and condensed a terrifying sword intent as if he wanted to launch another terrifying attack. It was a pity that the sword intent seemed to be unable to be released at the moment. This was because the power in his body was about to be exhausted. It was the same for the azure dragon insect. It couldn¡¯t launch another attack. There was nothing they could do though. In the battle between the two, both of them had used their full strength. No one dared to hold back at all. If any of them were to hide their strength at this critical point, it would definitely lead to their death. No one had expected that this battle would end in a draw. Since they had already reached a draw, the most important thing now was whether Qin Chen had obtained the azure dragon insect¡¯s great fortune. As long as Qin Chen could obtain the great fortune, the Nine Nether Mountain Master would naturally be even more excited. This was because what he wanted now was the great fortune here. For this great fortune, he was willing to pay any price. Qin Chen retreated step by step. At this moment, he sent a voice transmission to the Nine Nether Mountain Master, telling him that he had already obtained the great fortune. However, he was already heavily injured and did not have any strength left. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was excited. Although he didn¡¯t have the strength to fight anymore, it was very easy for him to leave with the others. Therefore, at this point, he only needed to take Qin Chen and the others away. Chapter 581 - 581 The Blood-evil Aura Energy Flower 581 The Blood-evil Aura Energy Flower Qin Chen was already holding the terrifying flower. This flower seemed non-existent. It had terrifying blood-evil aura energy. He didn¡¯t know why it had such terrifying blood-evil aura energy. A flower like this could only have been left behind by a devil. Since this flower had blood-evil aura energy, logically speaking, it should not exist in this world. Qin Chen was puzzled. No matter how hard he tried to stop it, the flower still released terrifying blood-evil aura energy that tried to invade his mind. Such terrifying blood-evil aura energy could not be understood with common sense. Even the strongest existence would feel that something was wrong. There was something wrong with this flower. At the very least, it was not what they were seeing now. In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, this flower was already classified as problematic. He wondered how he could swallow and refine the flower. After all, something would likely go wrong when such a terrifying flower was refined. Going mad wasn¡¯t exactly out of the question. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sent a voice transmission, ¡°Come quickly. If you are late, I¡¯m afraid you will miss this great fortune.¡± Hearing this, the Nine Nether Mountain Master immediately charged over crazily. He was extremely worried. He didn¡¯t know what Qin Chen meant when he said that he would lose the great fortune if he was late. As such, he rushed over. The azure dragon insect wanted to block the other party, but unfortunately, it could not stop him at all. After all, it no longer had any strength left. If it were to forcefully fight it out, it might die. Even if it could defeat the Nine Nether Mountain Master, it would suffer irreversible injuries. This was something the azure dragon insect could not accept. After all, it hadn¡¯t been easy for it to cultivate until now. If it continued fighting, it might lose everything it had now. No one would be willing to take the risk. This was the reason why the Nine Nether Mountain Master was able to reach Qin Chen. He looked at Qin Chen, his eyes filled with puzzlement. This was because Qin Chen was holding a terrifying flower that was shockingly filled with surging blood-evil aura energy. Logically speaking, such a terrifying flower should not have appeared in this world. Yet, it was right in front of their eyes now. Could this be the great fortune that Qin Chen had mentioned? Even if he swallowed and refined this thing, a big problem would probably occur. The Nine Nether Mountain Master was dumbfounded. Weren¡¯t they here to find a great fortune? If this thing was the great fortune, logically speaking, the azure dragon insect shouldn¡¯t have been able to achieve its current achievements. The azure dragon insect was extremely terrifying. It had long reached a realm that was even more terrifying than the Nine Nether Mountain Master. Based on common sense, this terrifying flower should not have such an effect. This was strange. Could it be that Qin Chen had found the wrong thing? However, when the Nine Nether Mountain Master used his terrifying spiritual will to scan the surroundings, he did not find anything. There was not even a strong fluctuation. In the black bamboo forest, what was left was the rule power left behind by the azure dragon insect. This was really strange. No one could figure it out. Qin Chen said to the Nine Nether Mountain Master, ¡°This is the great fortune that you are looking for. If we do not leave now, accidents may likely occur. I can¡¯t control the blood-evil aura energy for too long.¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master had already been severely injured. He understood that if they delayed, there would definitely be unexpected changes. If something else happened, he would not even have the ability to counterattack. Therefore, when he heard Qin Chen¡¯s words, he nodded and hurriedly prepared to leave with Qin Chen. The Nine Nether Mountain Master took out a spatial treasure and put Qin Chen inside. Then, he walked to a place not far away and crossed the rule power left behind by the azure dragon insect. Following this, he put the big scorpion, the flame-wing beast, and the others into his spatial treasure as well and quickly left. They had to leave now. Otherwise, when the azure dragon insect recovered, their lives might be in danger. After all, the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s recovery power was not as strong as the azure dragon insect¡¯s. They had to leave as soon as possible. Once something happened, it would be very dangerous. Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was prepared to leave with everyone. Otherwise, if something happened, it would be over. They had come here to seek great fortune. If they lost their lives instead, it would truly be a huge misfortune. The azure dragon insect wanted to stop the Nine Nether Mountain Master, but unfortunately, the latter had already left. It could not stop the other party at all. The Nine Nether Mountain Master quickly left. The azure dragon insect let out a breath of turbid air. It was a pity. It furiously destroyed the black bamboo forest. However, there was nothing it could do. This time, it had been on the verge of achieving atavism and was caught off guard. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have allowed the Nine Nether Mountain Master to have his way. The azure dragon insect had already reached an indescribable realm. It was surprised to find that it seemed to have stepped into a mystical state. If this continued, it might not be long before it could break through again and complete its morphing. When it thought of this, it was pleasantly surprised. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this! I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to continue morphing!¡± This was an opportunity that was destined to transform the azure dragon insect into an azure butterfly. At this point, the Nine Nether Mountain Master had already left with Qin Chen and the others. He had been wondering about one thing: Why was the opportunity a flower with terrifying blood-evil aura energy? He really didn¡¯t know what this flower was. Had the azure dragon insect been protecting this thing with all its might? Even if he refined this thing, it would be a huge mistake. It might even cause him to go mad. At that time, it would be too late for the Nine Nether Mountain Master to regret. At this rate, let alone breaking through to the next realm, he could even be sending himself to death. The Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, ¡°There¡¯s a problem. There¡¯s definitely something wrong with this thing.¡± Since Qin Chen didn¡¯t make a mistake, then the one with a problem should be that flower. If there really was a problem with the flower, it would be very depressing. Chapter 582 - 582 Primordial Spirit Resonance 582 Primordial Spirit Resonance This time, the price that the Nine Nether Mountain Master had paid was not small. After expending so much effort, he did not expect that it would be a thankless effort. Rather, it was equivalent to asking for trouble. Finally, the Nine Nether Mountain Master brought Qin Chen and the others to a safe place. The first thing he did was to release them because it was very uncomfortable to be cramped inside the spatial treasure. They were already in such a state. If they discovered that they hadn¡¯t been able to get anything, they would be even more depressed After Qin Chen and the others came out, they realized that they had already arrived somewhere safe. Qin Chen then started to tremble. This was because his mind had already been invaded by the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. The terrifying blood-evil aura energy wasn¡¯t something that ordinary people could deal with, after all. Only a cultivator with a relatively strong spiritual power like Qin Chen could withstand it for such a long time. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked ahead. Only now did the Nine Nether Mountain Master notice that his eyes were already bloodshot. He looked as if it wouldn¡¯t be long before he completely collapsed and couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. As such, he quickly took the terrifying flower from Qin Chen¡¯s hand. This terrifying flower was constantly releasing the blood-evil aura energy. Even the powerful Nine Nether Mountain Master was invaded by the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. Everyone could not help but use their spiritual power to begin to block the blood-evil aura energy. ¡°What is this? How can it be so terrifying?¡± Sensing the energy of the terrifying flower at such a close distance, even the Nine Nether Mountain Master couldn¡¯t help but feel extremely horrified. Something like this simply couldn¡¯t be devoured and refined. Once they did so, it was likely that their lives would be lost. For them to have reached this realm, it was naturally impossible for them to be so reckless. Even if the flower had heaven-defying effects, they would not risk their lives to refine it. Qin Chen knelt on the ground, gasping for air. Then, the essence power of the Chaos Divine Ring wrapped around his primordial spirit and repaired it, driving the blood-evil aura energy out. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be long before his primordial spirit would be destroyed by the blood-evil aura energy. The Nine Nether Mountain Master held the flower in his hand. He did not know what to do either. He tried to wrap the terrifying flower with his divine power so that the blood-evil aura energy would not leak out. Even he didn¡¯t know the origin of this terrifying flower. Since it could be found in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, it must be a terrifying treasure. To be able to help the azure dragon insect break through to its current terrifying realm, it was naturally a rare treasure. No matter how terrifying this flower was, it was undeniable that it was indeed a very precious treasure. At the very least, it was a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. This was something that the Nine Nether Mountain Master had coveted for a long time. Unfortunately, he had only just discovered that he could not use it at all. He did not even know what this terrifying flower was. He then looked at everyone. After the blood-evil aura energy was sealed, the others finally relaxed. The Nine Nether Mountain Master said to Qin Chen, ¡°Is this really the treasure from the black bamboo forest?¡± He simply could not believe that this terrifying flower could be refined and absorbed by the azure dragon insect. However, he had also carefully investigated at that time and discovered that there were indeed no other powerful fluctuations in the black bamboo forest. Logically speaking, the only treasure there should be this terrifying flower. Qin Chen shook his head and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t find anything in there, only this flower.¡± Now, it was the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s turn to sigh. He exhaled heavily. He did not expect that he would not get anything even after fighting to the death. This thing was simply poison. Even if he could absorb and refine it, so what? He would probably die soon if he did so, and his primordial spirit would collapse. After that, he began to study how to refine and absorb this terrifying flower. Qin Chen, on the other hand, began to recuperate, wanting to quickly recover to his peak condition. He knew that if he was injured in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, it would be very dangerous. If he encountered any unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t be able to unleash his strength. As such, Qin Chen hurriedly began to refine the heavenly resources that he had, making his injuries recover faster. The leaves of the ancient tree of life were almost exhausted. Only the branches were left. Qin Chen felt quite regretful. If he had been a little bolder back then, he might have been able to obtain even more leaves and branches of the ancient tree of life. He did not expect that the leaves of the ancient tree of life would be consumed so quickly. Then, Qin Chen continued to consume and refine all kinds of natural treasures. As a result, his injuries recovered rapidly. Up until now, the Nine Nether Mountain Master had yet to come up with anything. After all, as long as he took out this terrifying flower and unlocked the seal of divine power, its terrifying blood-evil aura energy would leak. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such a terrifying thing.¡± Even the Nine Nether Mountain Master was helpless. He couldn¡¯t refine this thing. After all, he had witnessed how terrifying this thing was. It was like a hedgehog that was covered in thorns. God knows how one could bite into it. This terrifying flower kept spinning in the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s hand, and the terrifying blood-evil aura energy it emitted spread out. It wouldn¡¯t take long for even the Nine Nether Mountain Master to be affected and suffer a heavy blow to his mind. It might even cause his Dao heart to become chaotic. At that time, even the Nine Nether Mountain Master would not be able to save himself. However, at this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master discovered that Qin Chen had actually used a very short time to recover to his peak condition. One had to know that the latter¡¯s primordial spirit had suffered extremely serious injuries just now. His body had also been heavily injured by the rule power of the azure dragon insect, to the point that his internal organs were about to rot. Unexpectedly, he could recover so quickly. Immediately after, Qin Chen walked over. The Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t know what Qin Chen wanted to do. Qin Chen took the terrifying flower from the Nine Nether Mountain Master¡¯s hand. He didn¡¯t believe that this terrifying flower couldn¡¯t be devoured and refined. One had to know that he had all kinds of treasures that could protect him. In the short run, he would not be affected by the blood-evil aura energy released by the flower. Soon after, Qin Chen was shocked to discover that his primordial spirit was resonating with the flower! Chapter 583 - 583 Devouring the Blood-evil Aura Energy 583 Devouring the Blood-evil Aura Energy Qin Chen realized that his primordial soul was resonating with the blood-evil aura energy emitted by the terrifying flower. The terrifying blood-evil aura energy was nothing ordinary. It was enough to threaten the lives of ordinary cultivators. At this moment, the Jiuying divine soul within Qin Chen¡¯s body was trembling non-stop as if it was attracted by this terrifying blood-evil aura energy. This was the strange phenomenon that had occurred when Qin Chen had taken the initiative to come into contact with the blood-aura evil energy and enter his body. Could it be that the Jiuying divine soul could absorb the blood-evil aura energy? Qin Chen could sense that his Jiuying divine soul seemed to be extremely interested in the blood-evil aura energy. Immediately after, he used the power of the Jiuying divine soul to approach the blood-evil aura energy that had entered his body. Unexpectedly, the blood-evil aura energy was extremely fearful as if it had met its natural enemy. It wanted to leave Qin Chen¡¯s body. What kind of joke was this? Qin Chen hung his mouth in shock, so much so he could stuff a fist into his mouth. Could the terrifying blood-evil aura energy really be absorbed and refined? Qin Chen had never thought that his Jiuying divine soul would have such an effect. One had to know that his Jiuying divine soul was incomparably powerful. It was a spiritual body that he had obtained from checking in with the system. The current Jiuying had long disappeared from the nine Heavens and ten lands, so Qin Chen had transformed the Jiuying divine soul into his split soul. In other words, the Jiuying divine soul was Qin Chen, and Qin Chen was the Jiuying divine soul. He could feel that the Jiuying divine soul was very excited as if it wanted to directly devour this blood-evil aura energy. Following this, Qin Chen used the Jiuying divine soul to devour the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. He did not expect that nothing happened to the Jiuying divine soul. Instead, it seemed to have become a little stronger. Only then did Qin Chen open his eyes and said to the Nine Nether Mountain Master, ¡°I have a way to deal with the blood-evil aura energy on this terrifying flower.¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t even dare to believe what Qin Chen had just said. After all, it was simply unacceptable. Qin Chen was merely a God-realm human cultivator. Where did he get the confidence to say such a thing? Then, Qin Chen held the terrifying flower and used his divine power to lift it. Everyone was incredulous and started to worry for Qin Chen. ¡°Elder King!¡± They knew that if this continued, Qin Chen would very likely be crippled by the blood-evil aura energy. One had to know that this was very dangerous. Once a person went mad, there was no way to wake him up again. That was why they were so anxious now. They were very concerned for Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s entire body trembled as he knelt on the ground. This was because the blood-evil aura energy from the terrifying flower was continuously entering his body now. One should know that it was very likely that there would be a huge problem if he were to absorb so much blood-evil aura energy at once. Although his Jiuying divine soul could deal with the terrifying blood-evil aura energy, it was still somewhat unbearable to deal with so much of it in one go. Still, Qin Chen had nothing to be afraid of because he had the Chaos Divine Ring in his body. If he were to encounter any danger, the Chaos Divine Ring would protect his primordial spirit. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to absorb and guide the blood-evil aura energy from the terrifying flower into his body. Under Qin Chen¡¯s crazy actions, boundless blood-evil aura energy entered his body unceasingly. This was nearly self-torture. Qin Chen wanted to deal with so much terrifying blood-evil aura energy at once because he wanted to refine the terrifying flower as soon as possible. From there, his cultivation would become stronger. He wanted to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands as soon as possible because he didn¡¯t know what had happened there after such a long time. Qin Chen relentlessly absorbed the terrifying blood-evil aura energy, causing everyone to feel incomparably terrified. What kind of lunatic would dare to do this? However, they thought of the fact that he was the Elder King. He would never do something that he was not confident in. Since he dared to do this, he should have full confidence. On the other side, Qin Chen became a complete lunatic in the eyes of the Nine Nether Mountain Master. This ant-like human cultivator would definitely die. There was no need to doubt this. After all, such a terrifying amount of blood-evil aura energy would definitely cause Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit to explode, causing him to go mad. Qin Chen¡¯s body was constantly being infused with boundless blood-evil aura energy. He immediately let his Jiuying divine soul begin to devour it. The Jiuying divine soul was incomparably excited. Within Qin Chen¡¯s body, a massive amount of blood-evil aura energy filled every part of his body. Soon, the energy was hunted down and devoured by the Jiuying divine soul. It did not take too long for the divine soul to clean an area in Qin Chen¡¯s body. The blood-evil aura energy was so frightened that it dispersed like a storm. It wanted nothing more than to leave Qin Chen¡¯s body, but unfortunately, he had already sealed his body. As such, the terrifying blood-evil aura energy couldn¡¯t escape even if it wanted to. It could only be devoured by the Jiuying divine soul. However, this also caused a huge burden on Qin Chen¡¯s body. At this moment, blood was dripping from Qin Chen¡¯s body. When one¡¯s spiritual power reached a certain realm, it would exert pressure on the physical body. At this moment, Qin Chen looked incomparably ferocious and terrifying. However, this was also a time that he had to experience. After some time, Qin Chen finally managed to control and stabilize the fluctuations. It didn¡¯t take long for him to devour half of the terrifying amount of blood-evil aura energy in his body. At this point, his face had already turned pale, and there was no longer a trace of blood on his face. Since the flower could help the azure dragon insect break through to such a powerful realm, it must be very terrifying. If they could refine it, Qin Chen and the others would definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. This was the reason why Qin Chen was risking his life. He planned to wait until he broke through to the God Emperor realm before leaving the Divine Illusionary Realm and returning to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Since his arrival in the Divine Illusionary Realm, a lot of time had passed. During this period, it was unknown what kind of changes had happened in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed. Chapter 584 - 584 How is This Possible? 584 How is This Possible? Qin Chen had many enemies in the nine Heavens and ten lands. If they went to take revenge on him, they could make their moves on the factions or friends that were related to Qin Chen. To Qin Chen, that would be a huge blow that he could not accept. That was why he wanted to quickly increase his strength and realm, then return to the nine Heavens and ten lands as soon as possible. If he broke through to the God Emperor realm, even if he wasn¡¯t extremely powerful, he would at least be able to protect himself. Moreover, he also had the flame-wing beast as his helper. If the flame-wing beast took the final step and broke through past the God Emperor realm as well, it would be a trump card that could save his life. Among all of them, the flame-wing beast¡¯s cultivation prowess was the highest. The true dragon followed closely behind. One could imagine how powerful it would be if the true dragon also advanced to the realm above the God Emperor realm. At that time, Qin Chen would have two terrifying experts by his side. Even if he were to face those terrifying enemies then, he wouldn¡¯t be so afraid anymore. It should be known even if so many experts were to join forces, no one could kill him easily. Besides, Qin Chen had many treasures. Throwing them out would be enough to kill some of his enemies. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was pumped. He hurriedly let the Jiuying Divine Soul in his body devour the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. He wanted the Jiuying divine soul to devour all the blood-evil aura energy. Right at this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master was numb from shock. He had no words to describe Qin Chen. This was because Qin Chen was not dead yet. Rather, he had even stabilized the injuries in his body. It was enough to imagine how terrifying Qin Chen was. After all, Qin Chen yearned to raise his realm and strength. ¡°How, how is this possible?¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master felt that his knowledge had suffered a huge impact. At this point, he was already numb. He was simply at a loss for words to describe Qin Chen. To think Qin Chen could withstand the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. Even he couldn¡¯t resist the energy for such a long time. It was likely that he would have long gone berserk and his primordial spirit would¡¯ve collapsed and died. Even the Nine Nether Mountain Master couldn¡¯t resist the blood-evil aura energy to such an extent. This simply could not be described with common sense. Using common sense to look at Qin Chen would leave one at a dead-end. He was like a monster, simply monstrous. The Nine Nether Mountain Master seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. He stared blankly at Qin Chen who was slowly refining the terrifying blood-evil aura energy in his body. Qin Chen paid a hefty price to finally absorb all of the blood-evil aura energy in his body using the Jiuying divine soul. Right now, his Jiuying divine soul had already swelled up incomparably, as though it was about to transform. This was something that he had never expected. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s Jiuying divine soul was already emitting God Emperor-realm spiritual fluctuations in advance. In other words, he had currently already refined the Jiuying divine soul to break through to the God Emperor realm. No matter how monstrous a genius was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do what Qin Chen did. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master was once again at a loss for words. This was because Qin Chen had actually made his primordial spirit break through to the God Emperor realm. It simply could not be explained with common sense. The Nine Nether Mountain Master felt as if he had been struck by a blow. Back when he was in Qin Chen¡¯s realm, he couldn¡¯t do such a feat. Even in the Divine Illusionary Realm, no matter how terrifying an expert was, they would not be able to accomplish something to this extent. Qin Chen slowly let out a breath. He immediately devoured natural treasures to recover from his injuries. Then, he presented the flower in his hand to the Nine Nether Mountain Master. When the Nine Nether Mountain Master saw the terrifying flower in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, he was shocked beyond words. ¡°How did you do it?¡± The Nine Nether Mountain Master felt as if his cultivation for so many years had all been for nothing. Qin Chen, an incomparably weak God-realm expert, had actually refined and devoured all of the blood-evil aura energy on the terrifying flower. He had even broken through to the God Emperor realm. One had to know that Qin Chen had only been in the God realm. It should¡¯ve been impossible for his primordial spirit to break through to the God Emperor realm. Logically speaking, it was just preposterous. Yet now, Qin Chen had truly done it. Qin Chen simply smiled. Since his primordial spirit had advanced to the God Emperor realm, it was enough to show that he was only one step away from raising the realm of his physical body to the God Emperor realm as well. When he achieved that, he would be able to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At this moment, the Nine Nether Mountain Master didn¡¯t know what to say. He then cut the terrifying flower in his hand into two halves, keeping half for himself and returning the other half to Qin Chen. After all, according to the previous agreement, he would get half and Qin Chen would get the other half. He had no plans to ask any questions. After all, everyone had secrets. Besides, Qin Chen had saved him. Logically speaking, he still owed Qin Chen a huge favor. As long as Qin Chen didn¡¯t die, it wouldn¡¯t be long before another great expert appeared. He had never heard of a monstrous genius like Qin Chen. Even in history, such a situation had never happened before. This had simply broken the norm. Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Mountain Master cupped his hands toward Qin Chen and left. As for Qin Chen, he split the remaining half of the terrifying flower into six portions. He could not refine this half of the terrifying flower himself. Therefore, everyone was given a portion. After all, if Qin Chen broke through by himself, he still wouldn¡¯t have the confidence to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. The most important thing was to increase everyone¡¯s strength. Immediately after, Qin Chen swallowed his portion of the terrifying flower and refined it. Once he devoured his part of the terrifying flower, he should be able to break through. Though, he wasn¡¯t sure if he could break through to the God Emperor realm. At this point, Qin Chen had already made his preparations. If he broke through to the God Emperor realm, he would return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Chapter 585 - 585 Bring it On! 585 Bring it On! Qin Chen was also making preparations. As long as he could break through to the God Emperor realm, he believed that the flame-wing beast would have broken through as well. At that time, he would return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At this moment, everyone began to refine their respective portions of the terrifying flower. Qin Chen devoured and refined his portion and felt as if his body was about to explode. One had to know that he possessed the Chaotic Divine Body. Logically speaking, no expert could withstand the flower¡¯s power more than he could. However, even he was in such pain. One could imagine that everyone else would be in even more pain. Qin Chen felt as if there was a fire dragon swimming within his body. His entire body was trembling slightly. After some time, Qin Chen opened his eyes. This was because he had already suppressed the terrifying medicinal power within his body. The whole process lasted for about three to four days before everyone got better. Only after a few days did Qin Chen realize that his injuries had already recovered. Of course, he was the first to suppress the terrifying medicinal power in his body. The others all had pained expressions on their faces as beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads onto the ground. At this moment, Qin Chen looked ahead. He walked forward step by step, feeling his body become heavier. Still, he continued to move forward. He wanted to break through as soon as possible. Soon after, Qin Chen arrived at the top of a hill. Here, the heavenly tribulation triggered by the breakthrough would not reach the others. After all, they had no way to resist any of this power. Qin Chen let out a sigh and looked up at the sky. Lightning was already flashing as thunder rumbled in the sky. Dark clouds densely covered the sky, and it looked as if a violent storm was about to fall. Everyone didn¡¯t know what to say. Although they were in extreme pain, they could still feel the fluctuations in the outside world. With such fluctuations, it was obvious that someone¡¯s breakthrough had triggered the heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen was probably the only one who could do this so quickly. Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. The surging lightning tribulation was condensing as if it wanted to kill Qin Chen. This was the first time Qin Chen encountered a terrifying heavenly tribulation in the Divine Illusionary Realm. One had to know that the last time he broke through, it had been extremely easy. That heavenly tribulation was nothing. But this time, it was obvious that Qin Chen didn¡¯t have such an opportunity. It wasn¡¯t just the Heavenly Dao of the nine Heavens and ten lands that was rejecting Qin Chen. The Heavenly Dao in the Divine Illusionary Realm was also rejecting him. Since Qin Chen broke through so quickly, the Heavenly Dao naturally had its eyes on him. He didn¡¯t have the words for it, but he felt that the heavenly tribulation was extraordinary. He had never experienced such a powerful heavenly tribulation in the Divine Illusionary Realm. God knows how terrifying the heavenly tribulation in the Divine Illusionary Realm would be! With a rumble, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. This was the first bolt of heavenly tribulation, but it was far from the last. The terrifying heavenly tribulation abruptly landed on Qin Chen, making him feel as if he was about to go crazy. He felt as if the heavenly tribulation wanted to destroy him. Then, the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor automatically protected its master and started working. Qin Chen walked forward step by step. Stepping on the Moving Secret Technique, he faced the terrifying heavenly lightning head-on! He wanted to blow up this terrifying heavenly tribulation, so he instantly used the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. Terrifying fist intent burst out in the void. In an instant, a punch fiercely bombarded the terrifying sky, Unfortunately, the current terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed to be even more powerful than the heavenly tribulation in the nine Heavens and ten lands. In an instant, Qin Chen was sent flying and smashed onto the ground. Qin Chen had never thought that the terrifying heavenly tribulation would be so powerful! He slowly stood up and flew towards the terrifying heavenly tribulation again, still wanting to destroy it directly. Not long after, the terrifying heavenly tribulation sent another attack coming with a loud bang. Before Qin Chen could react, the attack landed on him again, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. God knows how many more heavenly tribulations were coming. Qin Chen walked forward step by step. He stood up once again and used the Moving Secret Technique, dashing at the sky! In his hand, the innate sword embryo had already awakened. It was slashed at the sky. Qin Chen wanted to tear apart the heavenly tribulation in the sky, but he did not expect that the terrifying heavenly tribulation would send out another terrifying bolt of lightning! In an instant, it was like a giant beast that was about to devour Qin Chen. It wanted to swallow him and crush him into pieces. Qin Chen could feel how powerful this terrifying beast was. He immediately flew towards the terrifying beast and slashed out fiercely right away. This sword condensed a terrifying sword intent. It seemed to have formed a peerless sword domain that was incomparably terrifying. The pressure of an extreme emperor weapon spread out. Qin Chen looked like a God of War. He didn¡¯t believe that the heavenly tribulation of the Divine Illusionary Realm could destroy him. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed at the terrifying beast. The terrifying beast was formed by the heavenly tribulation. At this moment, its body was slashed apart by Qin Chen, but it still stubbornly didn¡¯t disperse. Instead, it fiercely slapped out a claw at Qin Chen! Qin Chen smashed into the ground. He was panting heavily as he swallowed a leaf of the ancient tree of life and refined it. Soon, he felt his blood energy force surge. Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation in the skies did not seem to have dissipated yet. Instead, another terrifying heavenly tribulation descended. The terrifying heavenly tribulation was like a huge sword as it slashed toward Qin Chen. If Qin Chen was struck by this sword, he would probably be killed even if he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with boundless fighting spirit. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t just let this terrifying heavenly tribulation kill him here just like that. One had to know that there were still people waiting for him to return in the nine Heavens and ten lands. If he died here, what would happen to them? Therefore, this time, even though Qin Chen was facing such a desperate situation, he still didn¡¯t give up. Instead, he roared, ¡°Bring it on!¡± Chapter 586 - 586 Breakthrough Qin Chen unleashed his full strength. Even if he had to use all his skills, he refused to be killed by the heavenly tribulation here. He still had to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. With that, he charged toward the terrifying heavenly tribulation, wanting to take it down. It didn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen to dash over. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist released a shocking fist light in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, and he was like a powerful expert who could tear apart the galaxy. The extreme emperor might from the activated innate sword embryo abruptly spread out and transformed into a terrifying sword intent that wanted to destroy this terrifying heavenly tribulation. No matter how powerful the heavenly tribulation from the Divine Illusionary Realm was, destruction was its definite end. Everyone sighed with emotion. Although the strongest among them wasn¡¯t Qin Chen, the one who improved the fastest was definitely him. Ordinary people simply couldn¡¯t achieve such a feat. However, was Qin Chen an ordinary person? He was a monster, a monstrous genius. Over the years, there were almost no monstrous geniuses as terrifying as Qin Chen. Even someone as powerful as the Nine Nether Mountain Master knew that it wouldn¡¯t be long before Qin Chen became a mighty cultivator who could suppress an entire region. Unfortunately, although the heavenly tribulation in the Divine Illusionary Realm had become stronger and wanted to kill Qin Chen, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t weak either. Coupled with all kinds of treasures, he was already incomparably powerful. Very soon, Qin Chen charged over. The heavenly tribulation seemed to have sensed something. Terrifying beings formed from the heavenly tribulation appeared one after another. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t even frown. He simply attacked and killed the creatures that were formed from the terrifying heavenly tribulation in no time. The heavenly tribulation in the sky didn¡¯t seem to have expected this. Qin Chen used the Moving Secret Technique and arrived in the sky. Then, he forcefully scattered the terrifying dark clouds. Perhaps only Qin Chen could do this. This heavenly tribulation wanted to kill him, but it was simply impossible. Qin Chen smiled. Soon after, he sensed that he had already stepped into level 9 of the God realm. He had advanced from level 7 to level 9 of the God realm. It was only an increase of two levels, but Qin Chen was extremely satisfied. It had not been long since he had broken through, but now he was already in level 9 of the God realm. This was already a shocking cultivation speed. Even among the ancient great emperors, few could match up to Qin Chen in this realm. This was because Qin Chen had the support of the system. No matter what, no one could be stronger than him. Qin Chen looked up at the sky with a relaxed expression. After the dark clouds dispersed, the heavenly tribulation had long ceased to exist. Following this, a pure wave of energy was sent down, allowing Qin Chen¡¯s injuries to recover. After all, those were injuries from breaking through the heavenly tribulation. No matter what, it could not be as terrifying as it was now. Qin Chen looked into the distance and casually struck out an attack, which pierced through the void. One could imagine how powerful he was after his breakthrough. There was probably no other who could be as powerful in this realm. When Qin Chen broke through to the God Emperor realm, his strength would double. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Then, he walked forward step by step. He didn¡¯t know what was ahead. Right now, everyone was still cultivating and had not finished refining their portions of the terrifying flower. Therefore, after Qin Chen broke through, he wanted to take a look to see if there was anything good in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. At the same time, he wanted to test his strength. As such, he used the Moving Secret Technique. It didn¡¯t take too long for him to reach the front. There, he found a tall mountain. There seemed to be some mysterious fluctuations in this mountain. To the others, what they saw would probably be that there should be top-notch treasures on this mountain. However, what Qin Chen could feel was the remnants of powerful divinity. As long as he could come into contact with the remnants of the powerful divinity, he could become stronger. After all, the system check-in had almost never disappointed him. Without the system, it would have been impossible for him to reach his current realm. Soon, Qin Chen approached the mountain. He began to climb the mountain step by step. The power he sensed from this mountain was extremely terrifying, so Qin Chen was extremely cautious right now. He had prepared almost all of his life-saving methods so that even if he encountered danger, he would be able to withstand it and not be killed directly. After that, Qin Chen started walking forward. God knows how long he had walked for, but halfway up the mountain, he unexpectedly encountered living beings. Qin Chen was shocked. Creatures that could appear in the depths of Buzhou Mountain were usually the experts of various big forces. But no matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be many living beings here. A group of tiger-headed demonic beasts roamed about. When Qin Chen took a closer look, he discovered that the tiger-headed demonic beasts were formed by some kind of power. Strictly speaking, they could not be considered true demonic beasts. Qin Chen heaved a sigh of relief. After all, none of the creatures in the depths of Buzhou Mountain were to be trifled with. If he really encountered a powerful creature, he would immediately flee as far away as he could without hesitation. After all, it was very likely that he would lose his life if he came into contact with these terrifying creatures. Qin Chen continued to move forward. When he appeared in front of the tiger-headed demonic beasts, only then did they begin to attack him. Their thoughts were very rigid and simple as if there was no order to speak of. Their cultivations were not too strong either. Qin Chen easily killed a tiger-headed demonic beast. After killing it, the tiger-headed demonic beast turned into a ray of light and disappeared. Qin Chen continued forward. To him, no matter how powerful these terrifying tiger-headed demonic beasts were, they were no match for him. This was because Qin Chen had all kinds of powerful treasures. If these treasures were added together, these demonic beasts would probably die in an instant. Still, Qin Chen was carefully guarding against any possible danger. That was why he was so cautious. God knows how much time had passed when Qin Chen killed the tiger-headed demonic beasts before him. At this point, almost all the demonic beasts here had been annihilated by Qin Chen. Nothing was left behind. During this period, nothing unexpected happened, so Qin Chen relaxed a little while killing the demonic beasts. Chapter 587 - 587 Statue 587 Statue The reason why Qin Chen didn¡¯t reveal his trump card was that it had too many uses. He couldn¡¯t expose it. Otherwise, he might die. After that, Qin Chen continued walking up the mountain. He saw many colorful clouds dancing in the air. Unexpectedly, the colorful clouds would destroy the living beings that approached. If Qin Chen¡¯s reaction had not been fast, he would have been injured. Right now, he still didn¡¯t know how terrifying these colorful clouds were. He just kept moving forward. Sensing a living being approach, the countless colorful clouds came surrounding Qin Chen, wanting to kill him. But how could Qin Chen be so easy to deal with? With that, he quickly made himself stronger and activated the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, turning it into a terrifying defensive power. The countless colorful clouds landed on his body and explosions sounded. One could imagine that the terrifying colorful clouds were also one of the defensive measures on this mountain. As long as any living being wanted to approach this place, they might die immediately. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. His Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was enough to withstand the attacks of these colorful clouds. He had no time to waste here. Following this, he charged forward while using the Moving Secret Technique, tearing the void apart. If there were too many colorful clouds in front of him, Qin Chen would take out his innate sword embryo and slash out with his sword, scattering the colorful clouds. When he first came into contact with the terrifying colorful clouds, he had already discovered that they could leave faint marks on the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. This was also the reason why he chose to leave so quickly when facing so many terrifying colorful clouds. They seemed to have some characteristics that made Qin Chen could feel a terrifying aura. Plus, they could even leave marks on the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. One should know that the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was Qin Chen¡¯s rare defensive supreme treasure. As long as he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, no terrifying attacks could threaten him. ¡°I wonder what kind of power formed such terrifying rainbow clouds. It¡¯s so terrifying.¡± After that, Qin Chen continued forward. After he escaped from the terrifying colorful clouds with great difficulty, a statue appeared before him. This statue was extremely terrifying. It was a monster with eight tentacles. Other than its eight tentacles, it was no different from an ordinary cultivator. This was what surprised Qin Chen. Who was this statue and why was it here? Just as he was about to take a closer look, a light seemed to flash on the surface of the terrifying monster sculpture. Qin Chen had never thought that the monster sculpture could emit light. Then, he looked at himself. For some reason, Qin Chen felt that something was wrong with his body. Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain. After some effort, he finally found where the pain was coming from. He did not expect that the sharp pain was coming from his back. Qin Chen opened his eyes and scanned his body. He finally discovered that his body seemed to have changed. Meat lumps kept popping up on his body. What were these? Qin Chen panted heavily. He didn¡¯t know what was going on. To think it had caused such a change in his physical body. As time passed, Qin Chen¡¯s body grew tentacle-like limbs! The scene was simply horrifying! Qin Chen¡¯s entire body was undergoing change. If this continued, he did not know if he could still be considered human. From the moment he stepped onto the path of cultivators, Qin Chen had been well-prepared to even die on this path. But now, his body had undergone a huge change from the human body! How could Qin Chen accept this? He couldn¡¯t help but let out a furious roar! He didn¡¯t even know what had happened to his physical body for him to have become like this. Qin Chen could feel that there seemed to be eight tentacles poking out from the back of his body. This made him realize that the changes in his body should be related to this monster sculpture. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± If this continued, he would truly become a monster. At that time, it would be almost impossible for him to turn back into a human again. Qin Chen let out a furious roar, his eyes filled with rage. No matter what, he wanted himself to be a normal human, not a monster. He had never thought that he would become like this. Qin Chen began to try to stop the limbs on his back from growing. He wanted to control the growth of the limbs. He did not expect that the terrifying limbs had already transformed into tiny tentacles! There was no other way. Right now, in an attempt to suppress his mutation, Qin Chen directly tore off the tentacles that had grown out of his back with brute force! Instantly, blood gushed out! The terrifying limbs that had been torn off were extremely bloody. Qin Chen felt as if he was unable to breathe. ¡°Ah¡­¡± If an ordinary person was in such a situation, they would have long gone crazy. Even if this state lasted for a short while, it would make people break down. But Qin Chen didn¡¯t. He closed his eyes, but what he saw were eight tentacles growing out of his back. The eight tentacles were like the most miserable horror, striking straight at the heart. No matter how much Qin Chen comforted himself, it was useless. This time, he could only rely on himself. ¡°There must be a way to return to my original appearance!¡± If Qin Chen became a monster, would he still have the cultivation system of the human race? Would he really become a monster? He was a human! Not a monster! Qin Chen¡¯s eyes flew open. His eyes were extremely red as he tore another tentacle off his back! ¡°Get lost!¡± After tearing off all the tentacles, Qin Chen was already somewhat crazed. He fell, kneeling on the ground. Unfortunately, before Qin Chen could recover from his shock, he discovered that another eight tentacles had grown out from his back. What should he do? Slowly, Qin Chen seemed to accept this fact. He slowly stood up and looked at the monster statue, which seemed to be mocking him. Chapter 588 - 588 Becoming a Monster 588 Becoming a Monster It was all due to the monster statue that Qin Chen had become like this! ¡°The way out of this state must be in this monster statue!¡± Thinking of this, Qin Chen almost went berserk! He walked towards the monster statue step by step. The monster statue still did not give off an aura of life as if it was just a dead object. However, Qin Chen had seen clearly that the monster statue had changed and even emitted a ray of light. He recalled what he had seen. It seemed that after the monster statue had emitted light, it turned Qin Chen into this ghostly appearance! The monster statue¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with pity. ¡°Who exactly are you?! Say it!¡± The terrifying transformation that Qin Chen¡¯s body had undergone was the same as the monster statue. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn¡¯t believe that it had nothing to do with the monster statue. What kind of joke was this? Which human would cultivate himself to such a state? Qin Chen glanced at his body. Behind him, the eight tentacles seemed to be changing. They were going to transform into human hands! This was simply unacceptable to Qin Chen! What was going on? Just imagining eight hands growing out of his back made his scalp go numb. He had to deal with the tentacles behind him. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were bright as he looked at the monster statue. The only way to get rid of this ghastly appearance should be found on the monster statue. Qin Chen could only start from the monster statue. He had to find a way to return to normal. No human could stand such a change, and Qin Chen was the same! With this, he sent out his spiritual will, wanting to see if there was anything mysterious about the monster statue. The method to get rid of the tentacles must be on this monster statue. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find it. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with fear that was dragging him into an abyss. He felt as if he was about to go crazy. ¡°Why? Why?! There must be a way!¡± Qin Chen continuously scanned the monster statue with his spiritual will. Unfortunately, after a few days, he still didn¡¯t gain anything. On the contrary, the eight tentacles behind him were constantly transforming to be eight hands. How could Qin Chen stand this? It was simply fatal! Thinking of this, Qin Chen wanted to use his strength to tear the eight hands off again. They must not be allowed to appear. Once they appeared, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if he could turn back into a human. He did not want to become a monster! Again and again, Qin Chen endured the pain and tore off the tentacles on his back. Every time, the pain was heart-wrenching. The intense pain could probably torture a person¡¯s soul until it became abnormal. Qin Chen¡¯s goal was very clear. He didn¡¯t want himself to become like this. Therefore, he wanted to tear off the tentacles. No matter what, he could not let himself become a complete monster. When the tentacles on his back turned into human hands, what would happen next? Could he guarantee that his physical body would not undergo any changes? That was why Qin Chen wanted to stop the tentacles from turning into human hands. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Qin Chen gave up resisting. Because as time passed, the faster the tentacles on his back grew. It was so fast that even Qin Chen himself couldn¡¯t believe it. That was why he finally gave up. Qin Chen sat on the ground and began to calm down. At this point, he seemed to have become a meditating monk who had seen past worldly affairs. Although it did not stop the tentacles from continuing to change in the direction of human hands, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less now. If he really turned into a monster, he would just find someone else and possess their body. No one wanted to become a monster. Worry bubbled in Qin Chen¡¯s heart, though the emotion was quickly suppressed. He felt as if his soul was about to be torn apart. Though, it didn¡¯t take long before his soul finally returned to normal. ¡°Has it already begun to affect my soul?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s guess was right. In the end, he would very likely become a complete monster. How could he accept turning from a human into a monster? At that point, he began to think about the nature of life. The essence of life required a soul and a physical body. Without any part, it could not be considered a true life. Countless living beings experienced birth, aging, illness, and death. However, Qin Chen no longer looked at the changes in his body with common sense. Since it had already happened, what could he do? ¡°Yes! My physical body has already changed. Similarly, to become a monster, my soul must also change. So, as long as my soul doesn¡¯t change, I still have a chance to turn the tables before I become a complete monster.¡± When Qin Chen thought of this, his entire body almost trembled from excitement. At this point, he finally found a way to temporarily restrain this terrifying change. Only through this could he stop the change. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to let his soul enter the Chaos Divine Ring. Otherwise, all sorts of changes would occur. Even he did not know what direction he would develop in and what he would become. However, after Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit hid inside the Chaos Divine Ring, nothing else happened. The Chaos Divine Ring in his body was still emitting a soft light that shone on Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit. The aura of the heavenly emperor¡¯s primordial soul weapon continued to spread. This was the only way to restrain the changes. Qin Chen did not want to become a monster, so he could only do this. Finally, he discovered that the transformation of his body seemed to have slowed down. ¡°Is this feasible?¡± However, if this continued, even he would not be able to stop it. In the end, he would still become a monster. Qin Chen shook his head. What should he do to stop himself from this change? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know. He looked at himself. If this continued, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of becoming a monster. Then, Qin Chen looked at the monster statue. If there was a solution, it would definitely be on the monster statue. This was what Qin Chen sensed. He stared at the monster statue. Unfortunately, it did not change at all. However, an inconspicuous crack had appeared on the monster statue. Chapter 589 - 589 Returning to Normal 589 Returning to Normal Qin Chen hadn¡¯t noticed the inconspicuous crack yet. After all, it was too small and not easy to be discovered. Qin Chen slowly walked out. As long as he kept his primordial spirit in the Chaos Divine Ring, there would naturally be no problems. As time passed, the monster statue was covered in web-like cracks. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what was going on. He looked over. Unfortunately, there was still no movement. The monster statue did not change at all. Only many cracks appeared. In the end, he discovered that the monster statue had given birth to a ball of light that transformed into a human figure. Looking at Qin Chen¡¯s current appearance, the human figure laughed. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what he was laughing about. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Who am I?¡± The figure looked similar to the monster statue. In Qin Chen¡¯s opinion, this figure most likely had a way to make him return to normal. The figure smiled as he asked Qin Chen, ¡± Who are you? Judging from your changes, they should be related to the curse.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s expression changed as the figure spoke. It turned out that this fellow was the owner of that terrifying monster statue. He then continued, ¡°I¡¯m the same as you. We¡¯re both under this curse that comes from a mysterious place. Looking at you now, you should be walking the same path as I did back then. You don¡¯t need to know who I am. You only need to know that as long as your soul hasn¡¯t changed, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. Use the power of your primordial spirit to wrap around the body. With this, you should be able to return to normal.¡± After saying that, Qin Chen realized that the figure had already disappeared. The other party seemed to have only left behind a wisp of soul power. In the end, nothing of him would be left. From his words, Qin Chen knew that the change in his body was a curse. Such a curse shouldn¡¯t cause anything too crazy. The biggest change was to target the human body and turn it into a monster. However, according to the human figure, this curse came from a mysterious place. Presumably, nothing more terrifying would happen. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know why this curse had appeared here. However, now that the owner of the monster statue had told him the way to recover, the first thing Qin Chen did was to restore his body to normal. He quickly wrapped his body with the power of his primordial spirit. With that, he could feel that the changes in his body seemed to have stopped. The change did not continue to worsen. It probably wouldn¡¯t take long for him to return to his previous appearance. The tentacles on his back seemed to be slowly breaking off as they fell off from Qin Chen¡¯s back. Qin Chen himself didn¡¯t understand why. However, since he could return to his normal state, he was happy enough. Having finally turned back into a normal human, no one could understand the excitement in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. After that, Qin Chen looked around. The monster statue that was covered in web-like cracks shattered with a bang, leaving nothing behind. As for where the owner of the monster statue had gone and whether he was still alive, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know either. The former had been cursed as well, yet both of them were still clueless as to when they had been cursed. Then, Qin Chen left. After he returned, he was surprised to find that everyone had already successfully refined the flower and broken through. After refining the medicinal power of the terrifying flower in their bodies, they became incomparably powerful. Then, they looked at Qin Chen, wondering where the Elder King had gone during this period. After they woke up, they did not find any trace of the Elder King. As such, they stayed where they were and waited for a few days. Finally, the Elder King returned. Qin Chen told everyone that he had been cursed, but now he had returned to normal. He then looked at the flame-wing beast. This was because the flame-wing beast¡¯s current aura was extremely vigorous. Even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t see through how powerful it had become. The other party seemed to have stepped into the same realm as Patriarch Xuan Tian. With this, Qin Chen felt even more confident because everyone¡¯s strength had increased significantly. Moreover, the flame-wing beast had already reached Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s realm. If they encountered any powerful enemies, they would naturally have more power to protect themselves. After that, Qin Chen led everyone away. He carefully led everyone in another direction because he did not dare to come into contact with that terrifying place again. What if everyone else mutated and eight tentacles grew out of their backs too? Therefore, they were now heading to another place. In the depths of Buzhou Mountain, many powerful experts were still searching for opportunities. Qin Chen and the others bumped into a powerful existence in the process. This powerful being seemed to be in the same realm as the flame-wing beast, though the former was a little stronger. Seeing Qin Chen and the others, he didn¡¯t have the slightest intention of attacking them. Instead, he exchanged a few words before turning around and leaving. Qin Chen could tell that the other party must have obtained some kind of powerful treasure. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry. However, they had no thoughts of hurting the other party either. After all, he was extremely powerful, even stronger than the flame-wing beast. If the other party were to get angry and decided to fight to the death, Qin Chen and the others might die. They wouldn¡¯t take the risk. They continued to walk forward. After some time, they arrived at a place that seemed to be a peach garden. There were powerful divinity remnants in this peach garden. Qin Chen led everyone to search for the place with the powerful divinity remnant. After all, as long as he found somewhere with divinity remnants, he would be able to use the system to check in and thus obtain treasures. This was also the fastest way for Qin Chen to obtain benefits in Buzhou Mountain. Soon, they arrived at the peach garden. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a powerful fluctuation of rule power in the peach garden. Someone who could leave such a powerful rule power was probably an extremely powerful existence. But what was the point of the other party leaving behind this rule power? Could it be that he wasn¡¯t here? Chapter 590 - 590 Peach Garden 590 Peach Garden This thought flashed through Qin Chen¡¯s mind. With that, he wanted to take a look at what powerful treasures were left behind in the peach garden. After all, there were powerful remnants of divinity in this huge peach garden. It was not too surprising if it contained some treasures. Coupled with the power of rules left behind by that terrifying expert, he must have wanted to protect the treasures in this peach garden. As long as Qin Chen and the others came into contact with the power of rules, they would be noticed immediately. However, the reason why Qin Chen was still willing to take the risk was that he had already touched the edge of the God Emperor realm. He was only one step away from stepping into the peak of the God realm, and thus also only one step away from breaking through and becoming a God Emperor-realm cultivator. As long as he became a God Emperor, he would return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. He was burning with anxiety as he had no idea what the nine Heavens and ten lands had become, which was why he wanted to return as soon as possible. In case anything happened, he would be able to rush back as soon as possible. If anyone laid a hand on his friends, family, and the forces that were related to him, he vowed to not let them off. The current Qin Chen had enough confidence to say this. After all, the flame-wing beast had already broken through to Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s realm, and he himself was about to step into the God Emperor realm. At that time, since he would be returning with so many experts, even if they bumped into his enemies, the latter might not be able to defeat him. Therefore, the most important thing for Qin Chen now was to increase his strength. Previously, he wanted to obtain treasures but was unexpectedly cursed in front of the monster statue. As a result, he did not dare to approach it anymore. Now that he had arrived in this peach garden, Qin Chen wanted to see if there were any treasures in it. If they could obtain any treasures, they believed that they would be able to become even stronger after refining those treasures and breaking through. At that time, they would be able to return to the Nine Heavens and ten lands. Even if that terrifying expert wanted to hunt them down, the other party couldn¡¯t possibly leave the Divine Illusionary Realm. That was because if one wanted to leave the Divine Illusionary Realm, one had to borrow the power of the white jade stone. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t heard of any place that had the white jade stone. The white jade stone was a rare treasure that had almost gone extinct since the ancient era. This also meant that the experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm had no way to break through the spatial barrier and enter the nine Heavens and ten lands. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others were simply unrestrained and unafraid. Since that was the case, what else did they have to be afraid of? With a single glance from Qin Chen, everyone followed him and entered the peach garden, wanting to break through the power of rules. After this, they would be able to obtain the treasures in the peach garden. There seemed to be powerful divinity remnants in this peach garden, which was why Qin Chen chose to take the risk. With a loud bang, the power of rules was shattered. Far away, an expert laughed. He wondered what was going on. ¡°Interesting. To think someone wants my treasures?¡± In his eyes, almost no expert had the guts to come for his treasure. At this moment, the flame-wing beast was trying to break through the power of rules. There were countless powers of rules in this peach garden, and they were currently being broken by the flame-wing beast. The flame-wing beast had, after all, already broken through to reach Patriarch Xuan Tian¡¯s realm. This bit of power of rules simply couldn¡¯t stop it. Soon, it opened up a path. Qin Chen walked over. He wanted to see what kind of treasure was inside that could be protected by the power of rules left behind by an expert. If he obtained such a powerful treasure, he would be able to break through. He would then be able to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Qin Chen was now a level 9 God-realm expert. If he broke through to the God Emperor realm in such a short time, he could make countless fear him. If such a monstrous genius was not killed, he would probably become an expert who would make countless prostrate at his feet in the future. Qin Chen continued to advance. The path had already been swept clean by the flame-wing beast. There was almost no longer any power of rules. At this moment, a huge face appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others. This huge face was condensed from the power of rules. It seemed to be the expert who had left behind the power of rules. He smiled at Qin Chen and the others, ¡°May I ask fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that you want to take away my treasures?¡± Following this, the giant face in the void formed by the power of rules was destroyed by the flame-wing beast. The figure far away was immediately shocked and angry. He would never have thought that someone would have the guts to snatch his treasure. One had to know that he was a famous devil. Countless people had died at his hands. It had always been that he was the one who robbed others. No one had ever dared to snatch his treasures. He did not expect that someone who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth would exist and want to snatch his treasures. With that, he laughed. As long as they were in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, they could never escape from his palm. When he returned, it would be too late for them to escape. He would personally send the person to the afterlife. ¡°None of you can escape.¡± After that, he closed his eyes again, seemingly unconcerned about the risk of his treasures being taken away by Qin Chen and the others. In his opinion, even if they took his treasures away, there wouldn¡¯t be any problem. This was because even if they succeeded in taking his treasures, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. He was just leaving the treasures in the hands of Qin Chen and the others for some time. On the other side, Qin Chen hurried forward, seizing every moment. He knew that if the other party had already sensed what they were doing, it was very likely that the other party would come back and kill them. At that time, if they had not obtained the treasures here, they would have offended an expert for no reason. If that happened, it was simply going for wool and coming home shorn. Therefore, Qin Chen was very nervous. They had to seize the time to obtain the treasures in the peach garden. Following Qin Chen¡¯s order, the flame-wing beast continued to break the countless power of rules. Chapter 591 - 591 Glistening Grass 591 Glistening Grass After the flame-wing beast broke through to the next realm, its strength became increasingly terrifying. Even the rule powers might not be able to stop it. It was like a terrifying ferocious beast, with the bearing of an ancient godfiend. ¡°Roar!¡± The terrifying flame-wing beast¡¯s huge body tore apart the power of rules, and Qin Chen and the others followed behind it. The flame-wing beast was in the God Emperor realm, to begin with. Above the God Emperor was the God Venerable realm, which was very powerful. In the ancient era, a God Venerable already had the strength to leave his name for thousands of years. It was a pity as time passed, the power of the different realms had long degenerated by quite a bit. They no longer had the powerful strength of the ancient era. Even in the ancient era, few could reach the God Venerable realm. The flame-wing beast continued moving forward, its body unleashing terrifying flames. After its breakthrough, the flames had become even more terrifying. If it was in the nine Heavens and ten lands, it could already roam countless places. Patriarch Xuan Tian had been a God Venerable realm expert. With the flame-wing beast, not many experts could threaten them when they returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands. This was why Qin Chen was in such a hurry to break through. The peach garden had powerful remnants of divinity. Apart from finding the great fortune left behind by the peerless expert, Qin Chen also wanted to find the place where the powerful divinity remained. If he wanted to get something good, he had to get this treasure. He was already only a step away from the God Emperor realm now. When he advanced to the God Emperor realm, it would be the time for him to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At that time, no enemy would be able to defeat him for sure. Rather, Qin Chen could even turn the tables and hunt them down instead. After all, during this period, his strength had improved so much that it could be described as monstrous. Such a shocking and terrifying increase was simply unfathomable. However, this was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. He needed to be more powerful to survive. Otherwise, he would not be a match for those old monsters that had been around since the ancient era. If he wanted to survive when the world descended into chaos, he could only rely on his powerful strength. At that time, the world would be chaotic, and the opportunity to become a great emperor would appear. Beings from all walks of life would show themselves, wanting to try and see if they could obtain that opportunity. Plus, who knew what the nine Heavens and ten lands had become now? That was why Qin Chen wanted to break through his realm so quickly. With that, he followed the flame-wing beast and continued to search the peach garden. However, not only was there the power of rules left behind by that terrifying expert but also a powerful illusion. The illusion was extremely powerful. Even the powerful flame-wing beast would fall into it. From this, one could see how terrifying this illusion was. Qin Chen opened his third eye. Between his brows, an illusory divine eye appeared. Netherworld Eye! In an instant, he saw through the illusion. No matter how powerful the illusion was, it was nothing before Qin Chen¡¯s Netherworld Eye. Qin Chen walked forward step by step. ¡°Follow me.¡± Everyone quickly followed him. There were many dangers in this illusion. If no one led them through it, they would easily lose their lives. This was something that everyone knew. When they were moving forward, the flame-wing beast suddenly triggered a terrifying restriction and was almost seriously injured. There was clearly nothing, but he had unknowingly triggered a terrifying restriction. ¡°This peach garden is filled with killing intent,¡± The big scorpion said in a deep voice. Even the powerful God Emperor realm flame-wing beast could die due to the traps here. It was very likely that this was a restriction that had been left behind previously. This illusion and restriction simply could not stop that expert. Therefore, he only left some power of rules in the peach garden. Qin Chen led everyone forward. In the peach garden were peach blossoms as old as a thousand years. Unfortunately, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t have the time to appreciate them. Terrifying dangers lurked in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, making Qin Chen and the others even more vigilant. However, they didn¡¯t notice that something seemed to be changing in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. After some time, Qin Chen and the others finally arrived at a place covered in grass. There were no peach blossom trees here, and Qin Chen¡¯s Netherworld Eyes didn¡¯t discover anything. He thus put away the Netherworld Eyes. ¡°Look, what¡¯s that?¡± The big scorpion said with surprise as he looked at the grass that was blooming with moonlight. The grass was sparkling and translucent. Could this be the great fortune of this place? Qin Chen slowly approached, but he still didn¡¯t let his guard down. Under such circumstances, it was more likely that they would encounter terrifying danger. As Qin Chen approached, a sharp sword light suddenly shot out from the void. He only managed to change the trajectory of the attack by using the Moving Secret Technique. The sharp sword light slashed down on Qin Chen¡¯s Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. The sound of metal clashing rang out. It was so terrifying that no one could look at it directly. Obviously, the terrifying sword light was extremely fear-invoking! Qin Chen abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. He was injured, though not severely. Everyone gasped. If it were them, their heads might have already fallen to the ground. Only Qin Chen could withstand such an attack. Qin Chen then plucked the terrifying grass. ¡°Finally, I got it.¡± The treasure that the expert had left behind in the peach garden under the protection of the power of rules was now in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. He then placed it into his storage ring. Now was not the time to refine it. Immediately after, Qin Chen led everyone to continue searching for the place with powerful divinity remnants. As long as he found that place, he would be able to check-in. The treasures obtained through checking in with the system were rarely ordinary. Qin Chen could feel the powerful remnants of divinity in the peach garden. ¡°Strange.¡± He frowned. Yet, he did not find anything. The place where there was a powerful divinity remnant seemed nowhere to be found. It felt near, but Qin Chen couldn¡¯t find anything. As time passed, Qin Chen grew anxious. After all, if they continued searching for the terrifying divinity remnant, that terrifying expert might return to the peach garden. At that time, Qin Chen and the others would be unable to escape even if they had wings. ¡°It must be here.¡± Qin Chen seemed to have thought of something as he looked up into the sky. He finally found the problem. Chapter 592 - 592 Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace 592 Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace It wasn¡¯t that Qin Chen couldn¡¯t find it. Rather, it was very likely that the terrifying remnants of divinity existed in the void. If that was the case, then it made sense. If the powerful divinity only existed in the void, it was very likely that it had been sealed there. No wonder there was such a powerful treasure in this terrifying peach garden. Qin Chen then began to explore the abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding void. If he could find the abnormal fluctuations in the void, he would be able to break it and find the place where the powerful divinity remnant was. There wasn¡¯t much time left, so he had to hurry up. Otherwise, it would lead to unimaginable consequences. They had already triggered the power of rules left behind by the terrifying expert in the peach garden. The other party already knew what they were doing. Qin Chen searched for abnormal fluctuations in the void. He didn¡¯t expect that he would really be able to find them. With the abnormal fluctuation, Qin Chen¡¯s terrifying spiritual power found the location of the divinity remnants. Following this, he held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused the divine power in his body into it. In an instant, he slashed out with his sword! A terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might permeated the air and exploded with terrifying power. This sword strike was like an attack released by a peerless sword celestial, instantly cutting through the void. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen had really found it. He smiled as he looked at the crack in the void. Then, he slashed out with his sword once again, cutting the gap in the passageway to the size of a person. In this way, he could enter. After that, Qin Chen flew in, and everyone hurriedly followed. After entering the passageway in the void, Qin Chen looked inside. This was actually another world. He didn¡¯t expect that the surroundings were filled with terrifying lava. There was a skeleton on the ground. It looked like it had been dead for a long time. The bones were broken, and the owner of the skeleton seemed to have suffered very serious injuries before death. The powerful pressure the skeleton emitted was suffocating. What was the reason for such a powerful expert to die here? Qin Chen and the others were clueless. Qin Chen continued forward. He could feel that the skeleton should be the one emitting the powerful divinity remnant. This also showed how terrifying this skeleton was. It was very likely that it had already reached an unimaginable realm. Then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [Remnants of divinity have been discovered here. Would the host like to sign in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] Qin Chen was right. The place with the powerful divinity remnant was indeed here. [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in to the place where the quasi-emperor Chi Fang died. You have obtained the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace!] [Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace: A secret treasure refined by a human expert, Chi Fang, from the primordial era of the nine Heavens and ten lands. It can melt experts and store terrifying attacks to counter them.] ¡°What?!¡± This was simply unimaginable to Qin Chen. How was this possible? To think the skeleton that existed in the void was an expert from the nine Heavens and ten lands. Could it be that the other party also relied on the white jade stone to come to the Divine Illusionary Realm? It was a pity that Chi Fang, who was once a half-step quasi-emperor, had died here. From the looks of it, a terrifying battle had erupted in this peach garden before he died. Someone had killed him here. Qin Chen found it hard to comprehend that he could meet an ¡°old friend¡± here. After that, a terrifying furnace appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. The furnace was only the size of a palm. It emitted powerful pressure in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. If Qin Chen poured all his divine power into it, he would be able to activate it. At that time, it would become incomparably huge. Qin Chen quickly refined the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. This thing was a treasure. If he encountered a powerful enemy, he could take it out and use it to block the terrifying attack of the other party. It might even save his life at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Qin Chen put away the terrifying furnace. Then, he took the skeleton out and buried it. After all, the latter was from the same place. He couldn¡¯t just leave the other party in this state. Following this, Qin Chen destroyed the spatial crack and led everyone out of the peach garden. If they continued to stay in the peach garden, it was very likely that they would encounter that terrifying expert returning. At that time, it would be difficult for them to escape even if they had wings. Rather, they would most likely die here. Therefore, Qin Chen immediately led everyone away. In any case, that fellow had yet to catch up. If the other party really did catch up, he could activate the white jade stone in his hand instantly and bring everyone back to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Although Qin Chen had just checked in and obtained a magic item, it was still not as powerful as the innate sword embryo. That being said, it would be of great and immeasurable benefit to him. After all, it could easily block the terrifying attacks of experts and even store the other party¡¯s attacks. How could Qin Chen let go of such a treasure? Currently, everyone was moving forward. After leaving the peach garden, they met another group of powerful cultivators. The group of powerful cultivators looked like they were chasing after an expert. Unfortunately, the expert they were chasing was very powerful. In just an instant, he had left them thousands of miles behind. However, the expert that was being chased had serious injuries. Along the way, fresh blood dripped down, which made Qin Chen and the others shocked. If such a powerful expert was being hunted down, one could imagine how precious his treasures were. However, this wasn¡¯t something they could worry about. Behind the expert were several terrifying figures who were following the former closely. Qin Chen hurriedly left with the others. After all, if they stayed here any longer, something might happen. Qin Chen seemed to have a premonition that they might meet a powerful expert. That was why he wanted to leave with everyone. He did not dare to use his life as a bet. After all, the risk was too great. It was better to be safe than sorry. Chapter 593 - 593 Sunbird 593 Sunbird Soon, Qin Chen left the peach garden with the others and arrived at another place that seemed to be a plain. There were many golden birds on the plain. The golden birds invoked fear in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. It seemed that they could attack the divine soul. ¡°This¡­ This is a sunbird.¡± The flame-wing beast trembled uncontrollably as it uttered these words. Qin Chen and the others had never heard of the sunbird before, so they immediately asked about it. The flame-wing beast slowly explained the origins of the sunbird, causing everyone to be even more shocked. ¡°The sunbird is an ancient era divine beast. It is said that it has the bloodline of a phoenix.¡± If it was just this, it would not have shocked everyone. ¡°They are protected by an auspicious opportunity. Even though the experts of the various divine beast races have dwindled, the sunbird race still has multiple experts. Wherever the sunbirds appear, those places become uninhabited. They used to feed on ancient divine beasts. Their strength is extremely terrifying.¡± Hearing this, apprehension bubbled in everyone¡¯s hearts. Such a terrifying being like the sunbird should not have appeared in this world. The flame-wing beast continued, ¡°There was once a mighty human who had a rare treasure, the Sun-shooting Bow. He killed ten experts of the sunbird race, making them extremely furious. Therefore, they surrounded and killed that expert. If that peerless expert still exists in this world, I¡¯m afraid the sunbird wouldn¡¯t have been so arrogant.¡± The fact that this race could survive in the depths of Buzhou Mountain showed how terrifying their power was. Qin Chen then said to everyone, ¡°Let¡¯s leave this place.¡± After all, if they continued to move forward, they would be courting death. Since there was nothing wrong with their brains, they would naturally not choose to continue moving forward. Everyone nodded and wanted to leave with Qin Chen. Unexpectedly, one of the sunbirds that were circling the sky noticed them. Its eyes seemed to be flickering with light, and the feathers on its body were burning with terrifying flames. It then swooped down towards Qin Chen and the others. Seeing a sunbird targeting them, Qin Chen and the others were extremely shocked. They had no choice but to flee as far away as possible from this place. If they still stayed in this area of wilderness, it was very likely that they would provoke even more sunbirds. ¡°Hurry up and escape!¡± Qin Chen roared. He then used the Moving Secret Technique and charged forward. The sunbird was extremely fast, to the point it was tearing through the void. Qin Chen had only seen such speed on a small number of creatures. Soon, the sunbird arrived before Qin Chen. Without a choice, Qin Chen brandished the innate sword embryo and poured the divine power in his body into it. In an instant, the innate sword embryo started emitting an extreme emperor¡¯s might. The terrifying pressure made the sunbird feel as if it was under the threat of death. What kind of expert could leave behind such a terrifying aura? Then, the shock in its eyes slowly receded, and what followed was greed. If it could snatch this treasure, it was very likely that its strength would increase by a qualitative leap. Therefore, the sunbird wanted to kill Qin Chen. In an instant, his claws turned into indestructible sharp lights that grabbed at the latter, wanting to tear Qin Chen¡¯s body into two. The sunbird was extremely fast, so much so that it even tore the void apart. Its pair of bird claws were truly incomparably terrifying. If Qin Chen was hit by its attack, he knew that he would very likely be severely injured. Therefore, Qin Chen slashed out with the innate sword embryo. With a slash, the incomparably terrifying void trembled. Clearly, this sword strike was far more terrifying than Qin Chen¡¯s previous attacks. After all, he had already broken through to level 9 of the God realm, so he could naturally unleash greater power with the innate sword embryo. In the instant that both sides clashed, the sunbird¡¯s claws were injured by the innate sword embryo. It looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. What was going on? In its eyes, this human cultivator was extremely weak. How could the latter hurt it? The only explanation was the powerful innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. It was very likely that it was a treasure from a powerful existence. This was a powerful weapon that the sunbird had never seen before. Therefore, it became even crazier, wanting to burn Qin Chen to death. The sunbird flapped its wings, and a raging fire that spanned three thousand miles swept toward Qin Chen, seemingly wanting to burn him into ashes and erase him from this world. Unfortunately, Qin Chen was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately threw out a palm strike which was condensed with the Green Lotus Demonic Flame in his body. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame was a terrifying flame left behind by the demon race¡¯s Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing was originally a lotus flower that had attained the Dao. That was why he could produce such terrifying flames. And now, facing the terrifying sunbird, Qin Chen immediately made his move, wanting to kill this sunbird. Otherwise, if he did not get rid of this terrifying sunbird immediately, he might attract more sunbirds. After all, there was a huge group of sunbirds here. Moreover, the appearance of so many sunbirds was enough to show that there might be even more powerful beings among the sunbirds here. Qin Chen abruptly attacked, not giving the sunbird any time to react. Since the other party had chosen to chase after them, Qin Chen would not let it live. If he could kill the other party, why would he let it go? Thinking as such, Qin Chen immediately made his move. A terrifying lotus bloomed under his feet, like a flame. It emitted extremely powerful pressure. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t let the sunbird escape! There was a problem! The sunbird¡¯s eyes narrowed. It seemed to have sensed something. Two terrifying flames collided. Immediately after, Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame seemed to be devouring the innate demonic flame released by the sunbird! What was left was a terrifying green-lotus-like flame that instantly enveloped the sunbird. Qin Chen didn¡¯t give the sunbird a chance to counterattack. He let the Green Lotus Demonic Flame burn the other party to death, turning the sunbird into ashes and disappearing into nothingness. This was the power of Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame. This time, it could only be considered the sunbird¡¯s bad luck of picking on the wrong person. Chapter 594 - 594 None Can Escape 594 None Can Escape The realm of this sunbird was not too powerful, to begin with. Therefore, Qin Chen took care of it easily and nothing of it was left. The corners of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled up. He had just successfully killed the lone sunbird that was chasing after them without alerting the other sunbirds. This meant that the expert among the sunbirds might be in seclusion. Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t possibly be clueless that one of their kind had died. At this point, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t dare to approach the desolate plains anymore. They could only take a detour. If they were to forcefully cross the plains, the ones who would die would be them. With this, Qin Chen led the group in another direction. They had now arrived at a relatively safe place. They had rested here for a few days without any problems, which meant that this place was safe for the time being. Thus, Qin Chen took out the grass from his storage ring. This sparkling and translucent celestial grass looked extremely extraordinary. Otherwise, it would not have been protected by the power of rule left behind by some expert. In the peach garden, the most precious thing was probably this stalk of celestial grass. Although Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what it was, they could tell that it was most likely a heaven-grade treasure. It might even be a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. However, Qin Chen noticed that between the time he had plucked the celestial grass and taken it out from his storage ring, it had already lost a portion of its medicinal properties. Only now did they realize that the celestial grass most likely couldn¡¯t be taken away directly. If they did that, it would deplete the medicinal properties of the celestial grass. This was the reason why that expert hadn¡¯t plucked the grass straight away. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. It was fine if he lost a little. It was better than not getting anything. Then, Qin Chen used the sharp blade of the innate sword embryo to divide the sparkling celestial grass into six portions, one for each. Holding the sparkling and translucent celestial grass in his hand, he could feel its terrifying medicinal strength continuously evaporating. As such, Qin Chen used his divine power to seal it. In this way, he could retain the medicinal properties that the grass had released and was free to refine it whenever he wanted. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others discovered a terrifying aura approaching them. Whose aura was this? Why was it so terrifying? They looked into the distance and saw that it was like a yellow storm. Just as everyone had expected, there was a figure in the yellow storm. It was this figure who had caused such a terrifying yellow storm. ¡°Run!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t even need to think to know that the figure in the terrifying yellow storm was definitely targeting them. The power of rules contained in the terrifying storm was so familiar. Qin Chen finally remembered where he had felt this familiar rule power. This was the power of rules that they had broken in the peach garden! It seemed that the terrifying figure in the peach garden had caught up with them. This was the most fatal part. Qin Chen and the others hadn¡¯t even had the time to refine the grass yet, and they were already being targeted by the other party, forcing them to constantly flee. Upon hearing Qin Chen¡¯s command, everyone reacted quickly. Without any hesitation, they fled forward. God knows what kind of danger lay ahead, but compared to the danger of losing their lives due to the pursuer behind them, there was more hope for survival ahead. At the thought of this, everyone hurriedly fled forward. Unfortunately, the terrifying figure behind them in the yellow soil storm was closing in on them. The difference in speed was too great. Fortunately, they were now close to a place that looked like ruins. If they could hide in it, they might be able to survive. It was already too late for Qin Chen to activate the white jade. Therefore, their top priority was to survive and avoid this existence. The terrifying figure was clearly enraged by what Qin Chen and the others had done. Only the latter¡¯s blood could appease his anger. If Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t die, he would find it hard to swallow his anger. The figure within the storm revealed a smile. He had already found Qin Chen and the others. It was this group of fellows who had destroyed all the rule power he had left in the peach garden and taken away the celestial grass that carried great fortune. It was quite apparent that this figure was extremely powerful. No matter where Qin Chen and the others fled, as long as they were still in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, they couldn¡¯t escape from his grasp. He had already thought of how to deal with Qin Chen and the others. He had to make them wish they were dead. Only by doing so would they be paying the price for what they had done. Death was too easy for them. Thinking of this, the terrifying figure became even more excited. He burst out with even greater speed, wanting to capture Qin Chen and the others. Soon, Qin Chen and the others arrived in front of the ruins. They didn¡¯t know where exactly the ruins were, but there was still some terrifying power of order left. The power of order was essentially the same as the power of rules. However, the former was natural orders formed in the world, while the latter were rules that were man-made. There was a fundamental difference. To think there was such a powerful power of order here. Could it be that a great war had broken out here before? It seemed that many experts had fought in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. He wondered why they fought. However, these were not things that Qin Chen and the others could think about right now. They were more concerned about whether they could survive. If they could not, it was very likely that they had reached the end of their lives. Too many colorful streaks of power of order filled in the ruins. The power of order was extremely powerful. It was unknown when this war had erupted, but for the place to still be able to retain such a powerful power of order, it was enough to show how terrifying the cultivation of those who left behind such power was. ¡°Continue to run!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! None of you will be able to escape!¡± The figure in the yellow storm followed Qin Chen and the others at a steady pace. When he saw the ruins, he smiled. Chapter 595 - 595 Power of Order 595 Power of Order ¡± Don¡¯t tell me you think that you can escape with the power of order here? ¡± Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t escape death in front of the expert in the yellow earth storm. Seeing the expert in the yellow earth storm behind them get closer, Qin Chen and the others were extremely fearful. After all, the other party was too powerful. Even if Qin Chen and the others were to join forces, they probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. The key was that they had completely offended him. If they didn¡¯t run, they would most likely die in his hands. However, it was already too late for Qin Chen and the others to run now. They could only rely on the power of order in the ruins and hope that they could avoid this calamity. What they didn¡¯t expect was that the terrifying expert was even faster than they had imagined. Now, the other party was extremely close to them. Left with no other choice, Qin Chen hurriedly led everyone to hide in the ruins, hiding while running. It was a pity that they still left behind traces and were caught up by that terrifying expert riding the yellow earth storm. The terrifying yellow earth storm caused huge explosions in the ruins, making the place like an apocalyptic scene. It was inexplicably fear-invoking. It seemed that the terrifying expert had made up his mind to kill Qin Chen and the others. They had no choice but to continue hiding to avoid being killed. The terrifying expert kept searching for them. As long as he could find them, he would not give up and vowed to kill them. Qin Chen and the others had snatched away his great fortune. To think such weaklings dared to touch his things, they simply deserved to die! That was why he wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others. In the ruins, an unknown amount of terrifying powers of order was emitting light. Among these powers of order, some were powerful enough to heavily injure Qin Chen. In contrast, some were so weak that they couldn¡¯t even lift a single strand of Qin Chen¡¯s hair. Of course, some powers of order were so terrifying that they could even make Qin Chen¡¯s heart palpitate. He felt that if he were to accidentally collide with them, he might die immediately. This was the strength of the powers of order. Qin Chen and the others had only run this way in hopes to survive. They originally thought that this terrifying expert wouldn¡¯t chase after them anymore once they reached the ruins. However, they did not expect that the expert was still chasing after them. The other party wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop. As Qin Chen continued to advance, the terrifying expert followed. The expert didn¡¯t expect that the powers of order here would be so terrifying. A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. However, so what? He didn¡¯t believe that Qin Chen and the others could continue to flee. Suddenly, there was a boom. Qin Chen turned his head and looked over. The expert in the yellow earth storm had been sent flying and crashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke. Seeing that the other party¡¯s strength was not invincible and that there were many powerful powers of order that could hurt the other party, Qin Chen and the others felt that their chances of survival had increased. In other words, as long as they quickly hid, they should still have a chance of escaping, as long as they did not get caught up by the other party. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led the group and hurried forward. The figure of the expert in the yellow earth storm slowly stood up from the ruins. His eyes were filled with anger. He kept searching for traces of Qin Chen and the others. He never thought that the powers of order here would be even more terrifying than his power of rules! One had to know that he was already very powerful, yet the powers of order left behind in the ruins could injure him. This also meant that a battle between experts stronger than him had once happened here. Otherwise, it was impossible for the remnant power to be able to hurt him. He shook his head. Obviously, Qin Chen and the others had already fled far away. It would probably take him a lot of effort to catch up. Then, the expert in the yellow earth storm closed his eyes. Qin Chen and the others had taken away his most valued treasure in the peach garden. This was something he could not tolerate. Then, the terrifying expert extended his spiritual will and spread out in all directions. Even if he had to risk being devoured, he had to find Qin Chen and the others. It didn¡¯t take long for him to find them. At that point, Qin Chen and the others felt as if they were being stared at by a terrifying expert. When they turned around, they indeed found that the other party¡¯s spiritual power had been cast on them. In other words, their whereabouts had been exposed. The figure in the yellow earth storm opened his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He was injured. He had extended his spiritual will to look for his targets and thus triggered some of the powers of order that targeted his primordial soul. They destroyed his spiritual will and cause him to suffer a backlash. With this, he was even more determined to kill Qin Chen and the others. No matter what, he had to get that glistening grass back. This was the most important thing for him to break through to his current realm. He absolutely could not lose it! If Qin Chen and the others wanted to escape, then he would chase them to the ends of the earth to get this glistening grass back. However, he never expected that Qin Chen had already divided the glistening grass into six portions and handed them out to everyone. If he knew, he would probably go crazy. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know about this at the moment. As such, he flew forward and chased after them again. He once again detonated streaks of powers of order along the way. There was a benefit to doing so though. It would make Qin Chen and the others feel great psychological pressure. They would be in a panic, which would make it likely for them to trigger some powers of order, in turn causing them to be injured and stop, allowing him to catch up. To the terrifying expert, the powers of order that he had detonated did not cause much harm to him. He had not encountered any that could really threaten him. Very soon, this terrifying expert caught up to Qin Chen and the others. He then looked at Qin Chen coldly. Chapter 596 - 596 Ill Return It to You! 596 I¡¯ll Return It to You! In the eyes of this terrifying figure, Qin Chen and the others were just ants that he could crush at any time. ¡°Elder King, what should we do?¡± The big scorpion and the others were panicking. After all, even though the flame-wing beast had broken through to the God Venerable realm, it was still not a match for this terrifying expert. At this moment, Qin Chen looked at the figure of this terrifying expert. Beneath the latter was a yellow earth storm, making him look like the king of the earth. What should he do now? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know either. ¡°How do you want to die?¡± The terrifying figure slowly asked. The fact that they could escape to this extent showed that Qin Chen and the others were extraordinary. However, none of this was important. The most important thing for him was to snatch back the grass that Qin Chen and the others had snatched. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were sweating profusely. No matter how they attacked, they would be no match for the other party. This terrifying figure could crush them. It was easy peasy for the other party to deal with them. ¡°You don¡¯t have a choice either. I will make you pay a sufficient price. Death is too easy for you,¡± This terrifying figure spoke viciously. No matter what, he wouldn¡¯t give Qin Chen and the others the chance to leave. He would personally destroy them and make them regret it. ¡°Hand over what you took.¡± Qin Chen naturally knew what this guy was talking about. The atmosphere was heavy. The matter now concerned their lives. Hearing the words of this terrifying figure, Qin Chen was also prepared. ¡°The thing you¡¯re talking about should be this, right?¡± Qin Chen took out one of the six portions of grass from his storage ring. The glistening grass, which should have been a top-notch heaven-grade treasure, was now but a short section. ¡°Good! Very good!¡± The terrifying figure on the yellow earth storm was so angry that he was about to vomit blood! Now that the glistening grass had been cut into small portions, even if he could find all of them, the medicinal properties would probably have been lost by an unknown amount. To him, the chance of breaking through with the grass had thus been reduced by more than 50%. If that was the case, how could he let the matter rest? He had to kill Qin Chen and the others! The terrifying figure¡¯s eyes were filled with rage as he slapped out with his palm, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the others. This palm seemed to contain a terrifying power of rules. Even if Qin Chen and the others used their full strength, they would not be able to block it. The surrounding powers of order also began to rage! Multicolored light flowed like glass. With that, Qin Chen made a prompt decision and took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. As soon as this terrifying furnace was taken out, the surrounding space was filled with a faint pressure. The incomparably terrifying pressure seemed to want to suppress this ruin. ¡°Suppress!¡± Qin Chen naturally couldn¡¯t block the terrifying palm attack, so he took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, wanting to suppress the attack, and put it into the furnace. The terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm was extremely shocked. What kind of treasure was this? He could tell at a glance that this treasure was definitely no ordinary item. It immediately caused his mind to move. The terrifying figure then saw that his palm attack was absorbed into the furnace. ¡°This¡­ How is this possible?¡± This scene was simply unacceptable to the terrifying figure. How could he not know how powerful his palm was? Yet, it was directly suppressed and kept in the furnace! Qin Chen panted heavily. He looked at the terrifying figure and slowly said, ¡°I¡¯ll return this palm to you!¡± Following this, he instantly sent out the palm attack that was suppressed through the furnace. The incomparably terrifying palm attack had been unleashed by the terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm. But now, it was attacking the person who had sent it out. How could the expert accept this? Unfortunately, this was a powerful palm strike that he had sent out himself. As such, the terrifying expert on the yellow earth storm was soon sent flying and smashed into a ball of power of order. There was a loud bang. At this point, the yellow earth storm dissipated and the terrifying figure was injured. His entire face was flushed red, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Damn it!¡± He was extremely furious. How could that weakling hurt him like this? That was just an ant-like fellow! It should¡¯ve been impossible! Seeing that the terrifying figure was injured, Qin Chen immediately wanted to leave with the others. After all, this was a rare opportunity. Qin Chen¡¯s consumption was also extremely great. Activating the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace almost drained all the divine power in his body. He immediately swallowed some heavenly resources and left with everyone. They could not stay here any longer. Otherwise, they might lose their lives. That terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm refused to give them the chance to leave alive. Therefore, Qin Chen would surely not choose to stay. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± That terrifying figure then rose into the sky from the ruins. He locked onto Qin Chen and the others, chasing after them. Even if he had to pay a huge price, he vowed to eliminate them. Otherwise, he would be inviting future disasters. That furnace had such power. If he could obtain it, it would definitely increase his strength by a lot. With that, this terrifying figure wielded a longsword and charged forward, chasing after Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others also knew that it was impossible for them to escape from the other party now, but still, they must not let the other party catch up to them. Unfortunately, in the hands of a weakling like Qin Chen, the terrifying furnace was unable to unleash its full power. If the expert obtained the terrifying furnace, it would be easy for him to kill his enemies. Therefore, he would not let Qin Chen off no matter what. He did not expect losing the heaven-grade celestial grass would allow him to encounter such a terrifying treasure. Thinking of this, the terrifying figure continued to chase after his targets. He had to take down this furnace. Only by doing so could he make up for his loss. Qin Chen and the others continued to dash through the ruins. That terrifying figure was high up in the sky, locking onto Qin Chen and the others. As long as he could get close to them, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to deal with them. However, Qin Chen and the others were like loaches that could not be caught. The terrifying expert continuously lost his targets. ¡°Even if you escape to the ends of the world, you won¡¯t be able to survive! Give up struggling!¡± When Qin Chen and the others heard this, they felt a huge pressure in their hearts. After all, they were too weak. Chapter 597 - 597 Fainted 597 Fainted This terrifying figure continued to chase after them. No matter how terrifying the strange furnace was, it couldn¡¯t change the mind of the figure above the yellow soil storm. Moreover, the furnace did not seem to have any ability to attack automatically. As long as he could catch up, he should be able to take the furnace very quickly. As such, he chased after Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t expect that the figure above the yellow earth storm would be so persistent and quickly catch up to them. The terrifying figure immediately launched an attack, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the others and stop them from moving forward. But fortunately, Qin Chen had the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, so facing the terrifying attack, he once again activated the furnace and stored that terrifying attack. With that, the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace emitted light as the terrifying attack within it was bombarding it. However, this was left behind by a half-step quasi-emperor-realm expert. It could easily block the other party¡¯s attack. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others discovered a fluctuation in the void. What was this? Qin Chen didn¡¯t have time to think about it. God knows what kind of terrifying danger lay ahead, but compared to the terrifying figure chasing after them, they would rather die at the front. As such, Qin Chen charged forward. Then, before the others could react, Qin Chen was gone, headed God knows where. After this, a distorted light appeared. It was actually a passageway! The others did not have time to hesitate and rushed in as well. Since Qin Chen had already entered, what was there to think about? The figure on the yellow earth storm was also surprised. He did not expect that there would be a place like the secret void realm here. Qin Chen and the other weaklings had already rushed in. If he wanted to obtain the furnace in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, the only way for him to do so was to rush in as well. With that, the expert accelerated again and charged into the passageway. After entering the spatial passageway, a sea of stars seemed to appear before Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. What was this place? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know, nor did the others. This place seemed to just be a secret realm in the void. After roughly scanning his surroundings, Qin Chen immediately sent out his spiritual will to scout ahead. Then, he continued to move forward. That terrifying figure would definitely not let them off, so they had to keep running. Once they were caught, there would only be death. Therefore, Qin Chen continued to advance using the Moving Secret Technique. Everyone immediately used all their strength to keep up. They did not have much chance to rest now. Regardless of whether it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames ahead, they had to brace themselves and continue forward. Otherwise, they would die without a burial place. The sea of stars was filled with countless stars. It made Qin Chen feel as if he had returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands. What was this place? Why was there a place in the Divine Illusionary World that was so similar to the nine Heavens and ten lands? However, as Qin Chen continued forward, he saw the corpses of some experts. Judging from those corpses, the experts did not seem to have died for too long. They were not like the other corpses he had encountered in the depths of Buzhou Mountain, where almost all of them were bones. These corpses had not completely decomposed, and they weren¡¯t very strong. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t have the time to stay behind and study. He immediately led the group forward. Their figures kept flashing as they traversed the void. God knows where they were now, but corpses were still floating around them. That terrifying figure had already caught up, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the others. When he appeared in the secret realm, he was shocked beyond words. However, the aura fluctuations of Qin Chen and the others were already extremely weak. After he locked onto it, he gave chase. No matter what, he had to kill Qin Chen. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. They felt that something was wrong. ¡°What is this place? Why does it feel so familiar?¡± Even the big scorpion was in disbelief. Weren¡¯t they still in the Divine Illusionary World? How could this place make him feel as if he had returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands? ¡°This, this is impossible!¡± If they wanted to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands, they had to activate the white jade stone. Otherwise, they would not be able to return. Only when one¡¯s cultivation reached the level of an ancient great emperor would one have a chance of breaking through the barrier of this world. Otherwise, there was no way to return. Qin Chen¡¯s scalp went numb. If this really was the Divine Illusionary World¡¯s connecting passage to the nine Heavens and ten lands, they would bring the terrifying figure who had been chasing them back to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At that time, many innocent people might die. Therefore, Qin Chen was extremely uncertain. Were they still in the Divine Illusionary World? There seemed to be an aura of life in some place far away. Qin Chen¡¯s sharp senses caught it. Then, they flew over. He wondered how powerful the owner of the life aura was. Unexpectedly, when Qin Chen and the others approached, they discovered that the owner of the life aura was only at level 8 of the Supreme Sage realm. He was too weak. It should be almost impossible for someone so weak to appear in the Divine Illusionary World. At this point, Qin Chen could only solve his questions once he found the owner of the life aura. The level 8 Supreme Sage realm expert¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. He could feel that a terrifying expert was approaching him! The other party¡¯s pressure was as majestic as Mount Everest! He felt as if he was on the verge of death. Even if he escaped now, death would still be his outcome. He couldn¡¯t run at all. How could there be such a terrifying expert here? ¡°I¡­ Am I going to die?¡± His eyes were filled with fear, and his body kept trembling. He had never heard of such a powerful existence existing in this world. His level 8 Supreme Sage realm cultivation was nothing in the eyes of the other party. He did not want to die. Unfortunately, there was no way out, because six terrifying figures had already appeared in front of him. Qin Chen immediately raised his hand and grabbed the level 8 Supreme Sage realm expert. He then used the Moving Secret Technique and fled with the others. Surrounded by so many experts, the level 8 Supreme Sage realm expert fainted. ¡°What happened?¡± Qin Chen looked at this expert with the third eye on his forehead and shook his head helplessly. ¡°This guy fainted.¡± Chapter 598 - 598 Back! 598 Back! What was going on? If Qin Chen and the others wanted to know the answer, they would have to wait for this guy to wake up. ¡°Hey.¡± Qin Chen shot out a beam of energy, which entered the other party¡¯s body and woke him up. ¡°Who are you?¡± This expert who was still unconscious just now could not help but be shocked after he woke up. Several terrifying experts were right in front of him. He was really unlucky. Why was his luck so bad? Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s question, he quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯m an expert from the forest mountain race. I¡¯m here to fight for a treasure with the experts of the powerful cosmic races.¡± ¡°What?!¡± This time, it was Qin Chen and the others¡¯ turn to be shocked to the point of madness. They were back! Without passing through the white jade stone, they had returned to the Nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, from the Divine Illusionary Realm. How was this possible? The Supreme Sage felt as if he was about to die under the pressure of these experts. Then, he saw the appearance of Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen¡¯s face was covered in a chaotic light, making it hard to see his true appearance. There was also a demon among them, who seemed to be an expert of the scorpion race. Other than that, there were two beautiful women and two other experts he did not recognize. A light suddenly flashed in his mind. Could they be the human Elder King and the others? One had to know that the name of the human Elder King was very resounding. It was just that no one knew where he had gone. Many old farts and monsters who had revived were looking for the whereabouts of the human Elder King. But how could they have become so powerful? This simply could not be understood with common sense. He was a peerless level 8 Supreme Sage-realm expert, but in front of Qin Chen and the others, he was like an ant. Could it be that the human race Elder King had gone to break through these few days? Comparing really made one infuriated. The current Elder King of the human race had long cultivated to the peak. Not many experts could be his match. The big scorpion said with great difficulty. He was in disbelief, ¡°We¡­ Are we really back?¡± They found a ruin in the depths of Buzhou Mountain in the Divine Illusionary Realm. After they came out, they were back in the cosmic. They did not even know how they had broken through the barrier between the two worlds. But this was reality. No matter how much they did not believe it, they could only nod. After all, they had already returned. Qin Chen seemed to be a little shocked and hadn¡¯t recovered yet. Still, he continued to ask, ¡°Do you know the current situation in the nine Heavens and ten lands? ¡± The level 8 Supreme Sage-realm expert was so scared that he revealed everything he knew. ¡°In the Nine Heavens and ten lands, the human race and the ten thousand ancient races have joined forces to resist some old monsters who have revived. Unfortunately, many experts have died over the years.¡± In an instant, the level 8 Supreme Sage-realm expert felt a chilling killing intent. It was extremely terrifying. It seemed that this fellow in front of him should be the human Elder King without a doubt. ¡°There are quite a number of old farts who have put up a bounty on the human Elder King, wanting to find clues about his whereabouts.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. As expected, those old farts and old monsters had started making their moves and were looking for his whereabouts. Therefore, it was not the time for Qin Chen and the others to be exposed. However, there was a bigger problem now. That was, the figure on the yellow soil storm had returned with them. If the other party knew that this wasn¡¯t the Divine Illusionary Realm, he would definitely go crazy and act recklessly. Perhaps even more living beings would die at his hands then. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others had to think of a way to prevent this terrifying expert from staying in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Thinking of this, Qin Chen threw away the level 8 Supreme Sage expert in his hand. Right now, the figure of the terrifying yellow storm was approaching them. ¡°Escape? Do you think you can escape?¡± The figure above the yellow earth storm approached Qin Chen and the others. What Qin Chen and the others were thinking about now was how they could eliminate this guy. If the other party was allowed to live freely in the nine Heavens and ten lands, it was very likely that he would bring about more killings. The other party might even follow the clues and find his way to the nine Heavens and ten lands. At that time, it would bring disaster to Qin Chen¡¯s friends and family, as well as the factions related to him. After all, if the other party couldn¡¯t find Qin Chen, how could he not find a faction related to Qin Chen? To him, it should be a piece of cake. Qin Chen¡¯s eyelids twitched when he thought of the possible serious consequences. Looking at the terrifying expert chasing after them, Qin Chen formulated a plan in his heart. No matter what, he had to find a way to get rid of this guy. Qin Chen had never thought that he would return to the nine Heavens and ten lands in such a way. He recalled that there were a lot of powers of order in the ruins. It seemed that back then, some expert had torn open the barrier between the Divine Illusionary Realm and the nine Heavens and ten lands, which had allowed Qin Chen and the others to return to the cosmic so easily. Without the white jade stone, it was theoretically impossible to cross between the two worlds. Otherwise, the Divine Illusionary Realm and the nine Heavens and ten lands would have been in chaos long ago. However, from the looks of it, not many knew of the passageway in the Divine Illusionary World that was connected to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others could still take advantage of the fact that the expert on the yellow earth storm thought that he was still in the Divine Illusionary Realm to get rid of him. Otherwise, it would very likely bring about huge trouble. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others were moving forward. They were surprised to find a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation in front of them, attracting Qin Chen. Qin Chen was extremely sensitive to these fluctuations. He caught it. After realizing that there was a powerful divinity fluctuation, Qin Chen hurriedly brought everyone closer. Behind them, the figure above the terrifying yellow storm was still chasing after them. He wanted to kill them here. Following this, a stone inscription appeared in front of Qin Chen. He was extremely excited because the powerful divinity remnant was released from the stone inscription. Presumably, it was something left behind by a terrifying expert back then. If Qin Chen could check in here, he should be able to obtain some treasures. Chapter 599 - 599 Hundred Ghost Punishment Array 599 Hundred Ghost Punishment Array Qin Chen could feel the powerful divinity fluctuations from the stone inscriptions before him. He was extremely excited because he knew that such a thing with powerful divinity remnants was a rare treasure! After all, he had the system. He could check in and obtain some precious treasures. Right now, even if Qin Chen and the others went all out, they probably wouldn¡¯t have any hope of defeating that terrifying figure on the yellow earth storm. Therefore, Qin Chen placed his hopes on the stone inscription not far away from him. He had to check in and get something good. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would die at the hands of that terrifying expert. He did have a premonition, though. He believed that he should be able to get a treasure from checking in here. If he couldn¡¯t kill that terrifying expert, he might go mad, because the other party would most certainly attack those who were related to him. Such a terrifying expert could do a lot of things. No matter how terrifying Qin Chen and the others were, they were still no match for him. Following this, Qin Chen flew over with everyone. Finally, they arrived in front of the stone inscription. Then, the system¡¯s voice rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding, dong!] [Powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] As Qin Chen expected, he could indeed check in here. [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in to the Ghost Ancestor¡¯s tribulation location. You have obtained a supreme secret treasure, the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array!] [Hundred Ghost Punishment Array: An array left behind by the Ghost Ancestor. It is said to be able to injure quasi-emperors. It possesses terrifying power. Anyone under the quasi-emperor realm cannot survive. (one-time use)] Upon hearing this, Qin Chen almost could not believe that his luck was so good! This was simply giving him a pillow when he was sleepy! With this, he now had the strength to make a move against the terrifying expert since he had obtained the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array which was extremely terrifying and could kill all experts below the quasi-emperor realm. According to the strength the other party had unleashed, the figure above the yellow earth storm must not have reached the quasi-emperor realm. Therefore, the other party should be unable to resist this terrifying attack. He would ultimately die in this array! Thinking of this, Qin Chen burst into laughter. Now, he finally found a way to defeat the other party. Behind Qin Chen, the figure on the yellow earth storm continued to chase after him. When he saw Qin Chen and the others stop, he couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. Since they had stopped, he could suppress them. At that time, not only would he be able to get back his glistening grass, but he would also be able to snatch that terrifying furnace from Qin Chen. As long as he made a move, he would definitely succeed. After he obtained those things, the survival of Qin Chen and the others would depend on his mood. At the thought of this, he continued to chase forward like a madman. Under his terrifying power, Qin Chen and the others simply couldn¡¯t stop him. To him, they were just ants that could be crushed at any time. They couldn¡¯t pose any threat to him at all. Qin Chen smiled. Now, he had the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array in his hands. As long as he could trap this guy inside, the latter would most definitely die. One had to know that the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array was a treasure that could injure quasi-emperors and kill anyone below that realm. One could imagine how terrifying it was. ¡°Surrender!¡± The terrifying expert laughed. In his opinion, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ deaths were certain. As long as he made a move, the other party would definitely die at his hands. Were they crazy? To think they dared to fantasize about being able to survive from his hands. Qin Chen sneered as he watched the terrifying expert charge toward him. He then threw the array out from his storage ring. Before that terrifying expert could react, he was enveloped by the huge array. The huge array was like an inescapable net as it appeared in the blink of an eye! Shit, to think there was a trap! The terrifying expert was shocked. So it turned out that the other party wanted to trap him in this array. Yet, how powerful could the array they set up be? ¡°You want to trap and kill me? What a joke!¡± This terrifying expert immediately laughed. With that, he walked out step by step. Then, he saw the scene in the outside world, and his heart shook. Terrifying ghosts appeared in the array one after another and surrounded him. The aura of these malicious ghosts was extremely terrifying, and it actually made his heart palpitate. On top of that, the number of ghosts was still increasing. They looked like a sea that was about to drown him. If he let them be, he would definitely die. At the thought of this, the terrifying expert immediately became uneasy. Just what was the origin of this large array? To think it possessed such terrifying pressure. Even though the terrifying expert found it unbelievable, he could not help but treat it seriously. This was because if the terrifying attacks of so many malicious ghosts were released, he would not be able to block them at all. Rather, he might be injured. Damn it! Where did those weaklings get these treasures from? The terrifying expert could not help but be incomparably furious. He had originally thought that the items in Qin Chen¡¯s hands were already enough to shock him, but now, the latter had taken out another such terrifying treasure. The expert was incomparably tempted. However, the biggest problem he had to face now was how he should survive. If he did not think of a solution as soon as possible, he would soon die under the attacks of these countless ghosts. After all, the malicious ghosts were very powerful. With that, the figure above the yellow earth storm struck out countless powers of rules, wanting to blast open the huge array. The terrifying powers of rules instantly tore apart the bodies of countless malicious ghosts. However, as some malicious ghosts died, new ones appeared. They continued to attack the terrifying expert. All they wanted was to kill this terrifying expert, but the latter didn¡¯t seem to have realized this at all. He just wanted to break the array. Chapter 600 - 600 Consider Carefully Before Making a Decision 600 Consider Carefully Before Making a Decision Was this the power of the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array? As Qin Chen watched the intense battle within the array, he couldn¡¯t help but feel his scalp go numb. If he was in this array, he would not even be able to last for an incense stick¡¯s time before he would be drowned by the attacks of countless malicious ghosts. At that time, only death would await him. And now, the terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm was fighting with the countless malicious ghosts. He was inadvertently injured by some malicious ghosts and bleeding profusely from his hideous wounds. If this went on, he would be exhausted to death here. The array emitted terrifying killing intent, and countless cold winds caressed the face of the terrifying expert. ¡°Damn it! What kind of array is this?¡± The terrifying expert had never encountered such a terrifying array before. This was simply beyond his imagination. He could no longer remember how many times he had walked on the edge of death. It was all thanks to his perseverance that he had survived until now. Otherwise, he would have long died under the attacks of these malicious ghosts. Although these countless malicious ghosts weren¡¯t of too powerful realms, they were still quite powerful. Moreover, there were so many of them. If all of them rushed forward at once, the terrifying expert would not be able to resist at all. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on. He had to think of a way to break this array. Then, this terrifying expert seemed to have thought of something, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He roared and punched the ground. Countless rocks were shattered, then flew, condensing into earth shields in front of him and fully enveloping him. In this way, he no longer had to resist the attacks of those terrifying malicious ghosts. As for how long the shields could last, even the terrifying expert himself did not know. He could only take it one step at a time. The incomparably hard earth shields were strengthened with countless powers of rules as well. Only by doing so could the shields block the attacks of the countless malicious ghosts. Qin Chen watched coldly from the side. This fellow had been chasing after them. If not for the other party, how could they have fallen into such a state? All that was happening now was his own fault. No one else could be blamed. At the same time, Qin Chen was still pondering over a question: What kind of terrifying existence had broken through the terrifying barrier between the two worlds? This was simply impossible to explain. If someone had such strength, this passageway should have long been exposed. Countless experts from the Divine Illusionary World would have entered the nine Heavens and ten lands. Yet, the passageway was located in the depths of Buzhou Mountain and was even buried in ruins. Why? Qin Chen had a feeling that things weren¡¯t that simple. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. At this moment, countless malicious ghosts appeared in the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array and were fiercely bombarding the earth shields condensed by the terrifying expert. Unexpectedly, the earth shields couldn¡¯t be destroyed in a short time. The eyes of the expert under the earth shields flickered. He knew that he could not hold on for a lifetime. It was very likely that it would not take long for his earth shields to be blasted apart by those terrifying malicious ghosts. Those terrifying malicious ghosts were not to be trifled with. Once they joined forces, wouldn¡¯t it be easy peasy for them to deal with him? Countless malicious ghosts emitted terrifying auras as they launched attacks in the Hundred Ghost Punishment Array. The attacks hit the earth shields, leaving huge marks. It was only because there were powers of rules in the earth shields that the shields could still last. Otherwise, the expert might have long been dead. Thinking of this, everyone was excited. That insufferably arrogant expert had chased them from the depths of Buzhou Mountain to the cosmic, but he had ended up like this. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this day to come for this fellow,¡± The big scorpion sighed. As long as Qin Chen didn¡¯t stop the terrifying array, the terrifying figure within would die without a doubt. The terrifying figure seemed to know that he had no chance to break the array. If this continued, he would really die. As such, he began sending a voice transmission, wanting to tell Qin Chen and the others that he was afraid and wanted to admit defeat. But now, it was too late. Inside the array, countless malicious ghosts were emitting terrifying baleful energy. Qin Chen and the others who were far away outside the array could also feel the shocking fluctuations. As expected of an array created by the Ghost Ancestor. It had such terrifying power. Even if the figure in the array had any tricks up his sleeve, he could only die in it. After all, the terrifying array was not to be trifled with. Soon, the earth shields in the array shattered. As if dense spider webs had been woven onto the shields, they turned into countless pieces of stones with a loud bang. The terrifying expert behind the shields revealed a terrified expression. This was because he seemed to have sensed that something strange had happened in the huge array. Qin Chen and the others also saw it. All the terrifying malicious ghosts in the array fused, turning into a terrifying monster. It seemed to have no physical body, but it could affect reality. Then, it struck out a palm at the terrifying expert. The light palm strike turned that terrifying expert into a puff of blood that dissipated between heaven and earth. ¡°He¡¯s dead¡­?¡± Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t believe it. To think such a powerful existence had died within the huge array just like that. Facing the terrifying monster formed from the fusion of all the malicious ghosts, the other party did not even have the strength to resist. He was beaten into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye. How terrifying! Then, the array slowly dissipated. It could only be used once. However, this time, it helped Qin Chen solve his pressing problem. He had finished off that terrifying figure. After that, Qin Chen began to plan. Now, they had already passed through the ruins, crossed the world barrier, and returned to the cosmic. However, Qin Chen and the others had also heard the news that many old monsters and old farts were searching for the Elder King¡¯s whereabouts right now. Those people hadn¡¯t discovered anything yet, but the news of Qin Chen and the others would most likely be leaked by that level 8 Supreme Sage-realm expert. With that, many of Qin Chen¡¯s enemies would come looking for him. Qin Chen¡¯s choice was to return to the Divine Illusionary World and become stronger. As long as he returned to the Divine Illusionary World, he might be able to obtain other great fortunes, opportunities, and so on. Their current strength was still somewhat lacking. Chapter 601 - 601 Refining the Medicinal Power 601 Refining the Medicinal Power If he went back now, it was very likely that big problems would occur. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt somewhat helpless. He had heard that the outside world was a mess. Many old farts and old monsters were constantly asking about his whereabouts. One could imagine what would happen if news of his return to the nine Heavens and ten lands leaked out. Since the secret passageway could break the barrier and thus connect the Divine Illusionary Realm to the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, one could imagine how important it was. However, the current Qin Chen wasn¡¯t worried about this. After all, even if some old monsters found this place and this passage, they would certainly die if they entered the depths of Buzhou Mountain. There were just too many unknown experts and dangers there. If they made a move there, there would only be one outcome: They would die without even leaving a speck of dust behind. At this point, everyone nodded and prepared to leave. After all, it was useless for them to stay. Instead, they would be targeted by those old monsters. It had only been a short time, but they had broken through so quickly. It was simply shocking. Qin Chen¡¯s choice now was to leave with everyone. Otherwise, his life might be in danger. Immediately, Qin Chen prepared to leave with the others. Even if the news of this place spread, those old monsters and old fogies would not dare to expose it. After all, if someone accidentally entered it, it was very likely that they would expose the nine Heavens, ten lands, and even the cosmic in front of the Divine Illusionary World. At that time, it would be the collision of two great worlds, and trillions of lives would die. No one could bear this great sin. Therefore, they would definitely seal off this place after learning about it and not allow anyone to enter. With that, Qin Chen brought the others back to the Divine Illusionary World. Now, the terrifying figure was completely dead. Even his primordial spirit had not escaped. He died in the Hundred Ghost Punishment Formation. However, Qin Chen¡¯s heart still ached. That was a treasure that could injure a quasi-emperor. God knows how long it had been since he had encountered such a terrifying treasure. It was such a pity to have used it so carelessly. Qin Chen shook his head. There was no other way. That terrifying expert was after him. If he didn¡¯t counterattack, he might have already died. Following this, Qin Chen returned to the Divine Illusionary World with everyone. In front of them was a pile of ruins with countless powers of order. This meant that they were back. In the Divine Illusionary World, Qin Chen and the others could obtain great opportunities and fortunes faster. Otherwise, they might not be able to increase their cultivation and realm so quickly. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took out his portion of the glistening celestial grass. After swallowing the glistening celestial grass, Qin Chen began to refine it. He noticed that his cultivation was rapidly rising. The original bottleneck had already loosened. In other words, it was very likely that he would be able to break through to the peak of the Great God realm this time. As long as he could do so, he would only be a step away from the God Emperor realm. The moment he broke through to the God Emperor realm, Qin Chen would return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Qin Chen began to refine the grass. Seeing this, everyone did the same and swallowed their portion of the glistening celestial grass. The fastest in refining the grass was the flame-wing beast. It had broken through another level and had reached level 2 of the God Venerable realm. Its strength was now even more terrifying and its aura was incomparably vigorous. Seeing this, the others felt the pressure. They did not expect the flame-wing beast to break through to the God Venerable realm so quickly. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only admit that they were indeed not as powerful as the flame-wing beast. After all, the powerful flame-wing beast had monstrous talent, to begin with. It was only when compared to a freak like Qin Chen that it was overshadowed. Ever since it followed Qin Chen, it had obtained all kinds of benefits along the way. With so many benefits, it had become extremely terrifying. Even if the world descended into chaos and the human world changed drastically later on, it would still believe in the Elder King. As long as the Elder King was there, it would be able to obtain treasures endlessly. Otherwise, it would very likely die. After all, the outside world was too chaotic now. Following Qin Chen gave the flame-wing beast an inexplicable sense of security. Following that was the true dragon. It let out an incomparably terrifying dragon¡¯s roar, and even the void trembled. With that, it had advanced to level 9 of the God Emperor realm, only one step away from the peak. It would not take long for it to advance to the God Venerable realm in one fell swoop. At that time, Qin Chen would have two God Venerable-realm fighters. He would no longer have to be afraid of his former enemies. Qin Chen could even rely on the treasures he had to hunt his enemies down instead. He wanted them to know the consequences of his anger. Those old monsters and old fogies were too comfortable. It was time for Qin Chen to give them some stimulation. Qin Chen did not know when the other parties would attack him. No matter how terrifying he was, he would probably still have to follow the principle of attacking first to gain the upper hand. ¡°If you want to kill me, let¡¯s see if you have the strength.¡± Qin Chen wasn¡¯t bragging. As long as he advanced to the God Emperor realm, no one would be his match in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Unlike those old monsters and old farts, he had the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. He could fight them head-on. This was what Qin Chen thought. Whoever wanted his life would have to pay the price. Qin Chen didn¡¯t care who offended him. Since the other party was prepared to kill him, he had to be prepared to be killed. This was the cruel reality. Qin Chen planned to take the initiative to deal with those terrifying existences. That way, the problems he worried about would not occur. At this moment, he had almost completely refined the glistening celestial grass in his body. He was much weaker than the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, which was why his refinement was so slow. The terrifying medicinal power collided within Qin Chen¡¯s body as if it wanted to tear his body apart. Chapter 602 - 602 Gone 602 Gone Qin Chen had the Chaotic Divine Body, which was a supreme divine body in the nine Heavens and ten lands. It was a physique that simply did not exist in the world. Qin Chen had only obtained this body by refining a drop of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s blood. As long as he had such a terrifying body, he could naturally become stronger. Even Qin Chen himself did not expect that his physique could continue to evolve. Currently, it had already transformed into the Chaos Divine Body. This was a divine body that was even stronger than the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s physique. Ordinary Spirit Bodies, Dao Bodies, and Divine Bodies were no match for Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Divine Body. As long as Qin Chen was strong enough, not many enemies in the same realm could compete with his strength. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s face was already covered in sweat. After all, the terrifying medicinal power was rampaging in his body. Even if Qin Chen wanted to block it, it wasn¡¯t something an ordinary person could do. ¡°Refine!¡± Qin Chen focused even more of his energy on the grass¡¯s medicinal power. As long as he was strong enough, let alone refining this terrifying glistening celestial grass, even refining a godfiend would not be something rare. It was said that in ancient times, many experts liked to convert the bodies of other experts into power. This was the bottom line in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. No matter how much he needed strength, he would never do this. Immediately after, Qin Chen endured the pain in his body and began to use his divine power to refine the terrifying medicinal power. As long as he could do so, he would naturally be able to break through to his target realm. Thinking of this, Qin Chen put in more effort and continued to refine the terrifying medicinal power in his body. As he continued, the terrifying medicinal power in his body changed. It was decreasing. After refining it, he would be able to break through. Qin Chen was very hopeful about this. Only by becoming stronger could he protect the things he valued. If he was not strong enough, the final result might be endless regret. Furthermore, he was currently in a tight time frame. More and more pressure was falling on him. This was especially so after he learned that the terrifying old monsters and old farts had already appeared, searching for his whereabouts. If he wasn¡¯t strong enough, those people might very well come to his door and kill him. After all, Qin Chen had offended far too many enemies. Every single one of them was enough to make ordinary cultivators despair. He could only hide. Otherwise, he might die. The risks involved were too great. No matter how much effort he had put in, it was still far from enough. He still needed to continue cultivating. He wanted to make himself stronger. That was the only way to survive. When the world¡¯s great change arrived and chaos descended, the only thing Qin Chen could do was continue to grow stronger. Otherwise, the pressure that was like a tidal wave would make him completely despair. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. He was already close to the God Emperor realm now. As long as he advanced to the God Emperor realm, he would be able to survive. Thinking of this, Qin Chen brought everyone back to the Divine Illusionary Realm and continued to search for great fortunes and opportunities. He led everyone out of the ruins. Then, he set up an array in the ruins. Ordinary people would not barge into here. After all, the place was filled with countless powers of order. If one came into contact with those powers of order, one might die immediately. Therefore, at this stage, Qin Chen did not have to worry too much. These worries were dispensable. Other than that, these ruins were Qin Chen¡¯s group¡¯s last escape route. Apart from the white jade stone that Qin Chen had which could allow him to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands, he had now learned of another passageway that would allow him to return. As long as Qin Chen wanted to go back, he could do so by passing through the passage in the ruins. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Right now, Qin Chen and the others were almost done with their breakthroughs. The next thing to do was to continue searching for those great opportunities and fortunes. They moved forward, and it did not take long for them to arrive at another place. There were countless kinds of natural treasures here, all extremely old. It seemed that someone had planted them here a long time ago. It should be known that these natural treasures were not common goods. The treasures that could appear in the depths of Buzhou Mountain were all top-grade. That was why Qin Chen was so excited. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t the only one excited, everyone else was as well. One had to know that these were all good things. Following this, they prepared to make their moves when Qin Chen felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped everyone. ¡°Wait a moment. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± In the depths of Buzhou Mountain, if one was not careful, one might not even last a breath. Here, hidden dangers were everywhere. Thinking of this, everyone nodded and restrained their inner desires. After that, Qin Chen shot out a streak of divine power, aiming at the most ordinary celestial grass. In an instant, countless treasures turned into nothingness as if they had never appeared here. Seeing this, Qin Chen calmed down. As expected. They were in the depths of Buzhou Mountain. Everything they saw might be a trap. Now, only a small number of natural treasures were left behind. Those that remained and did not disappear with the illusion were the most precious. However, Qin Chen was still worried. He walked forward step by step and once again aimed at a natural treasure, using his divine power to absorb it over. When the divine power approached the natural treasure, it exploded. Qin Chen was sent flying. At that point, he felt as if he was about to die. He immediately refined the leaves from the ancient tree of life. Only by doing so could he recover faster. Soon, Qin Chen felt a terrifying life force entering his body, helping him to heal even faster. Currently, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if he could resist such continuous attacks. These natural resources seemed to be like a mirage. If Qin Chen wanted to get his hands on them quickly, he would probably face explosions and be sent to his death. ¡°Gone!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes widened. The celestial grass that Qin Chen¡¯s divine power had touched just now had disappeared! Chapter 603 - 603 Terrifying Martial Artist 603 Terrifying Martial Artist How was this possible? Could it be another mirage? If he had gone to take the treasure himself, he might have died. Thinking of this, Qin Chen panted heavily. F*ck! Who the hell made this thing? To think the treasure was gone. Qin Chen had suffered the explosion for nothing. ¡°Ah!¡± Qin Chen wished he could roar toward the sky. Why? In contrast, the big scorpion was familiar with this kind of situation. As someone who had lived in the Demon Emperor Tomb for countless years, this kind of trick could not fool him at all. The big scorpion immediately said, ¡°Among them, there must be illusions of the natural treasure, as well as one natural treasure that really exists.¡± What everyone wanted to do now was to find this natural treasure. Otherwise, they could do nothing but leave. However, now that there was a natural treasure right in front of them, they were simply unwilling to leave. The big scorpion felt the same. ¡°If we want to find, I guess we can only do the same as the Elder King.¡± However, even someone as powerful as the Elder King, who had treasured armor on him, had suffered such serious injuries. One could imagine that if it were anyone else, their outcome would only be even more miserable. Everyone nodded. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anxiety. The mirages and explosions were definitely not the most dangerous. If that was all, it would be too simple. But now, they had not seen any other dangers yet. There was no other way, though. If he wanted to obtain that natural treasure, Qin Chen could only test them one by one until he found the sole natural treasure. Qin Chen waited until he was almost fully recovered before he made a move again, approaching the terrifying natural treasures. They were too terrifying. Even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to resist its explosion. Still, Qin Chen stood up. No matter what, he had to get his hands on the natural treasure. ¡°We can¡¯t let a cooked duck can¡¯t fly away under our noses.¡± Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately made his move to obtain the natural treasure. He circulated his Chaotic Divine Body and began to attack. No matter what, he had to take it down. With that, he once again approached the terrifying natural treasures. This time, he was experienced. He didn¡¯t need to expend too much effort to grasp it. He transformed his divine power into the shape of a palm, wanting to take the natural treasure down in one fell swoop. In an instant, a terrifying explosion shattered the palm formed by divine power. Qin Chen himself also suffered quite a bit of impact. That being said, in this way, his injuries were much smaller, still within the acceptable range. Following this, Qin Chen continued to move. He kept swallowing and refining the leaves of the ancient tree of life while he did his probing. ¡°It¡¯s all finished!¡± All the leaves of the ancient tree of life that Qin Chen had were refined. The only ones he was left with were the branches of the ancient tree of life. However, refining the branches of the ancient tree of life was more time-consuming. Therefore, Qin Chen¡¯s speed was suppressed. Still, he continued to probe. And finally, he succeeded. One natural treasure did not trigger an attack. Could this be the sole natural treasure that he was looking for? Thinking of this, Qin Chen was slightly shocked. Fortunately, he had already succeeded. Qin Chen then looked at the natural treasure in his hand. It was a palm-sized yellow flower. God knows where this thing came from. Qin Chen had never seen or heard of it, and neither had everyone else. He still kept it though, since he didn¡¯t have a second choice. Then, Qin Chen, who had just plucked this natural treasure, realized that something was wrong. This thing was definitely not the best. He began to suspect that there was most certainly a hidden great fortune in this place. At this point, a loud bang sounded. Qin Chen came to his senses, only to see an ancient human-like warrior slowly appear. The warrior stared at Qin Chen and the others, wondering what was going on. To think this was the case. The big scorpion could not help but gasp. The other party¡¯s fluctuation was very powerful. ¡°He and I are in the same realm,¡± The flame-wing beast slowly spoke. It had never expected the terrifying warrior to be in the God Venerable Realm as well. One had to know that the flame-wing beast had paid heavenly prices to advance to the God Venerable Realm. In contrast, the warrior was in the same realm even in his current state. One could imagine how terrifying the true body of this warrior was. If they were to fight, it was very likely that Qin Chen and the others would fall and pay the price in blood. Thinking of this, Qin Chen calmed down. An unknown enemy was the most terrifying. At the very least, they already knew the strength of this terrifying warrior. Even if they had to drag the other party down with them, they refused to be massacred by this warrior just like that. Qin Chen had known that getting the natural treasure wouldn¡¯t be so simple from the beginning. If it was really that simple, countless terrifying experts would have long taken away the great fortune and opportunities here. The reason why this great fortune and opportunity had not been taken away was that this warrior was really too powerful. That natural treasure, the palm-sized yellow flower, was definitely not the great opportunity hidden here. Therefore, Qin Chen was already plotting how to get rid of this terrifying warrior. Looking at the warrior, it was as if he did not have a physical body. His body was purely condensed from energy. In other words, he was not invincible. As such, they should still have a way to deal with this terrifying warrior. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was already prepared to make a move. He wanted to defeat the other party. After all, if they couldn¡¯t, they might be the ones to die and thus have to accompany this terrifying warrior here for a long time. Qin Chen roared. At the same time, the flame-wing beast transformed into its original form. After all, only when it was in its original form could it unleash its full strength. As long as they could deal with this terrifying warrior, everything would be fine. The flame-wing beast spat out a terrifying flame. It was already a God Venerable realm expert now. Its natural flame would definitely be even more terrifying. It wanted to try and see if it could burn the terrifying warrior. After all, the other party had a body made of energy. Chapter 604 - 604 Coma 604 Coma As long as they could destroy the warrior¡¯s body, they would naturally be able to resolve the urgent situation. However, this was only the flame-wing beast¡¯s wishful thinking. A terrifying attack landed on the warrior¡¯s body, but the warrior did not budge at all, He simply shattered the void with a punch. To think his power was so terrifying, this was something that no one had expected. Although the warrior and the flame-wing beast were in the same realm, that was all there was to it. It was hard to say whether the flame-wing beast could be stronger than this terrifying warrior. Then, the warrior launched an attack. His entire person turned into a dazzling stream of light and shattered the void. In an instant, he arrived in front of the flame-wing beast and punched out. It was as if even if it was a star in front of him, it would only end up being smashed. Thinking of this, everyone stopped in their tracks. No one had expected that the warrior would counterattack so quickly. This caught the flame-wing beast off guard. Fortunately, the flame-wing beast was no ordinary God Venerable either. After devouring and refining so many natural treasures, as well as top-notch fortunes and opportunities, it had long become incomparably powerful. As such, the flame-wing beast abruptly struck out with its claw. This was something that the warrior had not expected. The attack was terrifying. In an instant, the two erupted with a shocking might. Even the blood energy in Qin Chen and the others¡¯ bodies surged as they were affected by the might. This was the strength of God Venerable realm experts. The void shattered, leaving behind only a black hole crack. The flame-wing beast had already been sent flying. The terrifying warrior was also sent flying. The two had just fought to a draw. ¡°As expected, this warrior is not simple.¡± The flame-wing beast¡¯s eyes were fixed on the warrior. Unexpectedly, the warrior attacked again. In an instant, the huge body of the flame-wing beast was smashed into the ground, leaving a deep pit that stretched for thousands of miles. Everyone¡¯s heart shook. They could not imagine how much strength this terrifying warrior had yet to unleash. The second time the two fought, the flame-wing beast was already crushed by the warrior. Soon after, Qin Chen discovered that the aura of the terrifying warrior seemed to be weakening. Time was draining his strength. In the end, the other party would surely disappear into thin air, dust to dust. That being said, it was still very difficult for Qin Chen and the others to stall for time and exhaust the terrifying warrior to death. The terrifying warrior then looked at Qin Chen. He seemed to be able to sense some illusory existence. ¡°You have his aura on your body. You¡­ Are you him?¡± This sentence came without context, causing Qin Chen to be stunned. However, before Qin Chen could reply, the terrifying warrior continued, ¡°No, you are not him. He has already died.¡± In an instant, Qin Chen thought of the crux of the problem. Although the terrifying warrior did not have a physical body, he retained a certain level of thinking. He seemed to have mistaken the aura of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor on Qin Chen¡¯s body for a clone or reincarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. After all, Qin Chen also had the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s weapon, the innate sword embryo, which also possessed the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s aura. It was normal for this terrifying expert to mistakenly believe that he had a close relationship with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. If only he was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. If that were true, he would be fearless no matter how powerful the enemy was. Unfortunately, he was not. Qin Chen had only relied on the system to obtain the legacy of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Then, the terrifying warrior attacked again. This time, his target was not the flame-wing beast, but Qin Chen. He wanted to kill Qin Chen. This was because he wasn¡¯t sure if Qin Chen was a backup plan left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. If he waited to confirm that it really was a backup plan left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, it would probably be too late. Therefore, he had to take precautions and kill Qin Chen immediately. Then, there would be no danger. Thinking of this, this terrifying expert moved forward, tearing through the void and arriving in front of Qin Chen. Qin Chen had never thought that the terrifying expert would bypass the flame-wing beast to target him. Immediately after, he quickly revived the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to withstand the injuries. The flame-wing beast roared. When it saw the terrifying warrior charging toward Qin Chen, it was extremely furious. It immediately moved at an extreme speed, wanting to block in front of Qin Chen and receive the attack of the terrifying warrior. At this critical moment, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what to do. After all, the terrifying warrior was really too powerful. As long as the other party set his eyes on him, Qin Chen would be in danger of death. The current Qin Chen was in quite a dangerous situation. The terrifying warrior slashed out an incomparably terrifying dark sword light that looked as if it could directly destroy countless stars. The flame-wing beast arrived at the crucial moment. It used its bloodline power to make itself extremely powerful. Then, it wanted to block the sword light with its stretched-out claw. A huge fluctuation erupted with a bang. Qin Chen was sent flying. He had never thought that the terrifying sword light would be so powerful. He couldn¡¯t retain consciousness and fainted. ¡°Elder King!¡± Everyone hurried over and caught Qin Chen. Drip. A drop of blood fell from the flame-wing beast¡¯s claw. It was injured. It was injured by the sword of the terrifying warrior. Now, the flame-wing beast could determine that it was indeed inferior to the terrifying warrior. However, it was too late to say anything now. This was because Qin Chen had already passed out. God knows when he could wake up. But currently, the enemy was still right in front of them. They might all die here! The true dragon let out a roar and wanted to join the battle. Unexpectedly, it was stopped by the flame-wing beast, ¡°Take the Elder King and leave. I¡¯ll catch up with you guys in a while.¡± The flame-wing beast wanted to stay behind to take care of the rear. After all, none of them could escape from this terrifying warrior if no one was holding him back. The big scorpion and the others had no choice. They were too weak. Even if they rushed up, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. Therefore, they carried Qin Chen and prepared to leave this place. The terrifying warrior was really too powerful. Even though he would become weaker with the passage of time, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. If the terrifying warrior wanted to destroy everyone, he would definitely be able to do it in time. They were not as strong as the terrifying warrior, so they could only retreat. Chapter 605 - 605 Old Jianghu 605 Old Jianghu At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit was being nourished by the energy left behind by the Chaos Divine Ring. When the big scorpion and the others left with him, he had already thought of how to deal with this terrifying warrior. Unfortunately, that sword attack was too fierce, and he didn¡¯t have the time to block it. Then, he fainted. Soon after, Qin Chen¡¯s eyebrows slightly trembled as he woke up. He looked around and everyone was pleasantly surprised. To think the Elder King had woken up so quickly from his unconscious state. Qin Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± He refused to let go of the natural treasure. One had to know that it was incomparably precious. If Qin Chen could obtain it, he would have nothing to worry about. With that, he returned to the battlefield. ¡°Pu!¡± At this moment, the flame-wing beast spat out a mouthful of blood. Its aura was weak as if it could not hold on any longer. One could imagine how much pain the flame-wing beast was in. It seemed to be on the verge of being severely injured. It was almost impossible to escape from the terrifying warrior. The flame-wing beast had originally thought that even if it was no match for the terrifying warrior, it should have no problem protecting itself. The result was far beyond its expectations. To think the terrifying warrior went all out and became incomparably terrifying. In an instant, the flame-win beast fell into a disadvantageous position. It was no match for the terrifying warrior and was continuously injured. Terrifying attacks landed on the flame-wing beast instantly, but there was nothing it could do. After all, the terrifying warrior was much stronger. Thinking of this, the flame-wing beast roared. Its situation was almost desperate. If this continued, it would not be long before it would die at the hands of this terrifying warrior. At this moment, it suddenly heard a voice from behind it. ¡°I think maybe we can talk.¡± Hearing this voice, the flame-wing beast immediately revealed a shocked expression. It could not believe that the Elder King would return at this time. Wasn¡¯t he unconscious just now? Why did he come back? Then, the terrifying warrior stopped attacking and looked at the ant-like human cultivator. ¡°What worth do you have to talk to me?¡± Qin Chen smiled. He seemed to have already grasped the knack for stopping the terrifying warrior from attacking him again. What he needed to do now was to expose his identity. ¡°I¡¯m a reincarnation clone left behind by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Is this enough?¡± Hearing this shocking news, the terrifying warrior¡¯s entire body trembled as expected. He was extremely furious. He did not expect the ¡°truth¡± to be as he had expected. Shouldn¡¯t the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor have died long ago? Why was he still around? To think he had even created a clone. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! He died long ago! Those who have passed away will never come back.¡± At this moment, Qin Chen finally managed to get some useful information out of the other party. For example, this terrifying warrior seemed to know the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was even possible that he had a grudge against the latter. Otherwise, the other party wouldn¡¯t have been so anxious to attack him. Yet, when he heard that Qin Chen was actually related to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, he stopped. He was obviously shocked. ¡°Ridiculous! Ignorant!¡± Who was the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? That was an ancient great emperor who ruled over countless eras, possessing the power to shake the world! It was just leaving behind a clone. What was there to doubt? ¡°I¡¯m not the only reincarnation clone. In the vast cosmic, Divine Illusionary Realm, as well as the nine Heavens and ten lands, there are ten of his incarnations. When the time is right, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor will return.¡± The terrifying warrior¡¯s eyes immediately revealed a shocked expression, He did not expect the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to have so many backup plans. If this news were to be released, many of the old monsters who were still alive would probably be shocked. Be it in the Divine Illusionary Realm or the nine Heavens and ten lands, it would cause a huge shock. ¡°Could it be that the opportunity to become an ancient great emperor that appeared this time is a chance for the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to return?¡± Qin Chen smiled but didn¡¯t say anything, letting this terrifying warrior guess. ¡°So what if you kill me? You can¡¯t stop the return of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. But I think we can work together. For example, cooperation.¡± Upon hearing this, the terrifying warrior immediately laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. ¡°What kind of joke is this? You want to cooperate with me? So what if you are the reincarnation clone of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? The fact that he didn¡¯t kill me back then was his greatest regret. I will destroy this reincarnated clone body you¡¯re in. Even if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor returns, he probably won¡¯t let me off anyway. Since that¡¯s the case, why should I lower my head now? Do you think that just the aura of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor on your body is enough to make me believe your words?¡± As expected, the terrifying warrior was experienced. He didn¡¯t trust Qin Chen with just a few words. Instead, he seized Qin Chen¡¯s weakness and counterattacked, wanting to find other flaws in the latter¡¯s words. ¡°Whether you believe it or not, in any case, it would not be long before the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor returns. However, if you are willing to cooperate with me now, it¡¯s not impossible for me to spare your life.¡± Back then, the real Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left the Divine Illusionary Realm, as well as the nine Heavens and ten lands. To date, he had yet to return. Still, the terrifying warrior couldn¡¯t tell if Qin Chen was telling the truth or not. If he waited until the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor really returned, he would most definitely die and would not be able to escape at all. He and the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had long been entangled by karma. No matter what he did now, it would not affect the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s desire to kill him in the future. At this point, the terrifying warrior was wondering if the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor would want to kill him. It was not a question of whether the latter could return. Indeed, just like what Qin Chen had said, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was an ancient great emperor who ruled eras. It was not surprising for him to have such methods. Cold sweat dripped down Qin Chen¡¯s back. He didn¡¯t know if he could really persuade this terrifying warrior. In his opinion, if the terrifying warrior believed his words, the other party would allow him to obtain the great fortune here. This time, Qin Chen was dancing on the tip of a knife. If he was not careful, he might die. Chapter 606 - 606 Peerless Divine Medicine 606 Peerless Divine Medicine The terrifying warrior roared with laughter as if he had gone crazy. ¡°Will he really come back?¡± Qin Chen remained silent. It was as if the warrior¡¯s voice was the only thing left in the entire world. His voice echoed throughout the world, extremely hoarse. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if the terrifying warrior would agree to his request. ¡°If he can really come back, I¡¯m willing to cooperate with you.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. He never thought that the terrifying warrior would actually agree. ¡°My true body should have been trapped somewhere. If you can find my true body, I believe that my true body should be able to sense what is happening now. Back then, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was invincible. He spared countless enemies, and I was one of them. Therefore, I¡¯m willing to put my life in your hands this time. I¡¯m afraid this current body of mine won¡¯t be able to last for too long, so let¡¯s make a long story short. Someone is setting this up. I don¡¯t know who he is, but he¡¯s about to succeed. His goal is also to grasp this era¡¯s chance to become an ancient great emperor.¡± Then, the body of the warrior began to dissipate. Like a feather, it collapsed with a bang and then turned into nothingness, never to be seen again. In its place, a jade box appeared on the ground. God knows what material this jade box was made of, but it was emitting a terrifying fluctuation that shocked everyone. ¡°I will open this jade box for you¡­¡± The voice of the terrifying warrior echoed in the surroundings. With that, a ray of light appeared out of nowhere and landed on the jade box. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t guess wrongly, this should be the great fortune left behind in this place. To be protected by such a terrifying warrior, one could imagine how terrifying this jade box was. Not many experts in the depths of Buzhou Mountain could obtain such a treasure. This could be considered one of the best treasures in the Divine Illusionary Realm. This was because just the terrifying fluctuation alone had caused the hearts of Qin Chen and the others to palpitate. The terrifying warrior opened the jade box, and it erupted with a shocking fluctuation! It actually affected the surrounding void. Even if Qin Chen had obtained the jade box himself, it wouldn¡¯t have been easy for him to open it. But now, the jade box had already been opened by the remaining power of the terrifying warrior. The jade box shattered and fell to the ground in front of Qin Chen and the others. Then, Qin Chen saw what was left in the jade box. It was a snowflake-like white flower with six petals. Each petal had a terrifying medicinal power. This could be considered a peerless divine medicine. It probably possessed incredible power. Qin Chen and the others had never expected that they would be able to obtain such a terrifying peerless divine medicine. If they could refine it, they would probably become incomparably powerful. ¡°This, this is good stuff!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes lit up. Even the weakest cultivator could sense how precious this snowflake-like white flower was. Qin Chen took the white flower. At the same time, he seemed to hear something disappear. If Qin Chen were to refine this peerless divine medicine alone, it was very likely that he would explode from excessive energy. Just one petal of the flower alone possessed supreme might. Qin Chen was certain that he could step into the God Emperor realm after refining it. He did not expect that he would actually advance to the God Emperor realm so quickly. At that time, he would be able to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands, and he would no longer have to be too afraid of those terrifying old monsters. After all, he would have the power to protect himself then. Following this, Qin Chen gave each of them a petal of the flower. After receiving the peerless divine medicine¡¯s petal, everyone was incomparably shocked. One had to this thing was invaluable, so much so that it would attract the covetous eyes of countless experts in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Since they had obtained this terrifying peerless divine medicine, they could naturally become even stronger. Qin Chen then began to refine it. He had long known that there was a great fortune hidden here. He was just incomparably shocked that it had fallen into his hands so quickly. After that, Qin Chen refined the petal of the flower. He would definitely become incomparably powerful after doing so. At that time, forget about breaking through, it was very likely that everyone could advance by half a major realm. This great opportunity was simply a miracle. As Qin Chen began to refine the petal, everyone did the same as well. ¡°As expected of a peerless divine medicine!¡± The minute they started refining it, they felt as if they had been reborn. They could actually vaguely sense the Great Path of Heaven and Earth! One had to know that it was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to sense the Great Path of Heaven and Earth. But now, Qin Chen and the others could easily sense it. In that case, it would probably not be long before they could comprehend the Great Path of Heaven and Earth in advance. Doing so could quickly increase one¡¯s realm and strength. The flame-wing beast was very excited. After all, it was already at level 2 of the God Venerable realm. It was extremely difficult for it to improve. But now that it had refined this terrifying white flower, it gained confidence in breaking through another level! It then immersed itself in the process. After refining it, there would definitely be a huge improvement. At this moment, Qin Chen was shocked by the terrifying medicinal power. He wondered what kind of treasure this was that could possess such terrifying medicinal power. Moreover, the medicinal power wouldn¡¯t cause his body to explode. Instead, the excess medicinal power transformed into a spring rain and entered his body. As long as he wanted to refine and break through, he would naturally be able to do so with the remaining medicinal strength. Very soon, Qin Chen grew excited. That was because he was but one step away from the God Emperor realm. As long as he took that one step, he would naturally be able to advance to the God Emperor realm. Countless Great Paths of Heaven and Earth appeared before Qin Chen. Although he couldn¡¯t see the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, he could truly feel it. That terrifying warrior had given Qin Chen a huge gift! Such a terrifying fortune could allow an ordinary expert to defy the heavens and change their fate. Chapter 607 - 607 A Terrifying Breakthrough 607 A Terrifying Breakthrough Very soon, Qin Chen felt that his realm was rising continuously and he could no longer suppress it. If this continued, it would not be long before he would be able to advance to the God Emperor realm. Once he broke through to the God Emperor realm, he would be able to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Excitement appeared in his eyes. The others were the same. The powerful level 2 God Venerable realm flame-wing beast broke through two levels in a row, becoming a level 4 God Venerable realm expert. One should know that it had just broken through not too long ago, and now it had broken through again. This was simply impossible. It was unheard of for anyone to be able to raise their realm so quickly. It was as if they had defied the heavens and used cheats. But now, all this was happening right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. Until now, they still could not believe that their strength had increased so greatly. A shocking dragon roar was heard, and the sky shook. At this moment, a powerful aura burst out. The true dragon had also stepped into the God Venerable realm! The true dragon¡¯s breakthrough to the God Venerable realm could be said to be all thanks to Qin Chen. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen, it probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach such a terrifying realm in its lifetime. It laughed maniacally. Now that it had reached such a powerful realm, it could do many things that it had never done before. Even if the world descended into chaos, it believed that it would have the strength to protect itself and escape from the pursuit of those terrifying old monsters. Those old monsters and old farts certainly wouldn¡¯t take action personally, because that would simply lower their status. If word got out, it wouldn¡¯t sound good. Therefore, they would usually let their subordinates complete the task. But now, in the current nine Heavens and ten lands, there should not be too many experts in the God Venerable Realm. Therefore, Qin Chen and his men were not in too much danger. Even if they returned to the nine Heavens and ten lands, they believed that those old farts and monsters would not come looking for them personally. This was the reason why Qin Chen was so excited. He now had the capital to establish himself and survive when chaos descended upon the world. Everyone was also incomparably happy. They could feel that they were getting stronger and stronger, and they had become peerless experts. This was simply something that they could never have expected in their entire lives. They had originally thought that reaching their current realm was an untouchable fantasy. Now that they had reached this realm, they were even more grateful to Qin Chen. After all, without him, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach such a terrifying realm. Soon, Qin Chen opened his eyes. He had already refined a portion of the medicinal power in his body and naturally broke through. At this moment, he could feel that his strength was many times stronger than before. This was the power that one should have after stepping into the God Emperor realm. Moreover, Qin Chen could feel that the power-up had no intention of stopping even after the breakthrough. It seemed that he was still breaking through. Finally, he felt that his breakthrough speed seemed to have slowed down. Only then did he realize that he was now at level 3 of the God Emperor realm. At this moment, a faint heavenly tribulation seemed to have appeared in the sky. This was the heavenly tribulation that was targeted at Qin Chen after he broke through. The breakthrough had been too speedy. Even Heavenly Dao did not seem to have reacted in time. What kind of heaven-defying fortune did this ordinary human cultivator obtain to reach his current level? Now, Qin Chen only needed to overcome this terrifying heavenly tribulation. Then, he would be able to become a true level 3 God Emperor-realm expert. If it was the previous Qin Chen, he would never have imagined that he would break through to the God Emperor realm so quickly. On the other hand, he didn¡¯t even need to consider whether his foundation would be unstable due to continuous breakthroughs. This was because the power brought by the peerless divine medicine was incomparably shocking. Qin Chen felt that his foundation was not affected at all. In other words, he did not have to suppress his strength at will and could continuously breakthrough. This allowed Qin Chen to experience what it felt like to be unrestrained. Then, he looked at the dark clouds of heavenly tribulation that had condensed in the sky. It was more powerful than any heavenly tribulation he had faced before. The terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed to still be strengthening. Countless lightning bolts struck Qin Chen, not giving him any time to react this time. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t react in time and was struck by the heavenly tribulation, even if he didn¡¯t die, he would definitely be severely injured and wouldn¡¯t be able to face the next heavenly tribulation. At that time, he would probably die. Furthermore, no one could help Qin Chen when he was breaking through. This was because this was his heavenly tribulation. If others dared to interfere, they might also suffer heavy injuries from the heavenly tribulation. No matter how powerful they were, they would still suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. Shadows flashed through the clouds. These figures were the Gods manifested by the heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen had experienced countless battles with these Gods. Without exception, he had won every single one of them, although the final outcome might be somewhat tragic. However, this time, he had no idea how powerful and terrifying the beings were. His heart raced. God knows what kind of powerful creature would descend from the heavenly tribulation this time to kill him. Terrifying heavenly tribulation surged down. Fear-invoking figures appeared one after another. It was as if they had traveled through the long river of history from the mythological era and arrived in front of Qin Chen. Most of these existences were top-notch experts who had appeared in the Divine Illusionary Realm. Their cultivation was enough to shake up a part of history. One could imagine how powerful and terrifying their identities were. These terrifying Gods attacked Qin Chen straight away, wanting to kill him. The sound of explosions rang out incessantly in the void, exploding with ear-piercing booms. Qin Chen immediately circulated his Chaotic Divine Body. Once the Chaotic Divine Body was circulated, the sky rumbled. Qin Chen had already adjusted his condition to its peak. He held the innate sword embryo in his hand and looked at the figures that appeared in front of him. Then, he charged forward. Too many figures had been condensed from the terrifying heavenly tribulation. It was enough to make ordinary cultivators feel despair. Chapter 608 - 608 Fighting and Killing 608 Fighting and Killing Qin Chen infused the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo. Almost instantly, the innate sword embryo was revived. One had to know that the innate sword embryo was an extreme emperor weapon and possessed incomparably terrifying power. Now, as Qin Chen¡¯s realm rose, the power he could unleash became even more terrifying. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how powerful these terrifying Gods were, but he had no way out now. Since he had chosen this path of cultivation, he could only continue walking on it, or else he would die. He could not die because many were waiting for his return. Qin Chen had too many attachments that he couldn¡¯t let go of. Therefore, he could only continue to slaughter those terrifying Gods. He wanted to carve out a world that belonged to him and find the path that he had been searching for. At this moment, he was facing the deadly attacks of more and more creatures as he continued to charge forward. The only way to survive was to kill all these terrifying Gods. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to survive. Very soon, Qin Chen began to act, wanting to exterminate all these terrifying Gods. He did not expect them to be so terrifying. They tore through the void instantly and launched countless terrifying attacks. However, the current Qin Chen was not someone to be trifled with. He had already undergone a transformation and had reached level 3 of the God Emperor realm. Qin Chen unleashed a sword attack in an instant. The sword attack carried a terrifying power as it slashed out a shocking white light. It was like a sword that could split the chaos! With Qin Chen¡¯s strength and the innate sword embryo, he was invincible. When those terrifying attacks collided with this sword, they were instantly shattered and destroyed. Then, the terrifying sword energy continued to slash at those terrifying Gods, tearing them apart. The terrifying Gods immediately attacked again to offset the aftershock of this sword. Who would have thought that Qin Chen¡¯s strength would be so terrifying? These Gods realized this point, so they joined forces and surrounded him, wanting to besiege him. Before Qin Chen had time to react, the numerous Gods had already surrounded him. Qin Chen let out a furious roar. He then slashed out with his sword, wanting to open a path between these terrifying creatures. However, how could these terrifying Gods be ordinary experts? They instantly suppressed Qin Chen. At this point, Qin Chen¡¯s entire body was dripping with blood. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor released an extreme light as he crashed into the ground, leaving a deep pit. Qin Chen crawled out from the deep pit. Blood stained his body. He had never thought that the combined attack of these Gods would be so terrifying. He swallowed some natural resources to alleviate his injuries. Then, he held the innate sword embryo in his hand again, slashing out sword after sword. Even if he wanted to stop, these terrifying Gods wouldn¡¯t let him go. After all, only by killing Qin Chen would the heavenly tribulation dissipate. They would not stop until one of the parties was completely dead. Everyone was shocked when they saw how terrifying Qin Chen¡¯s sword lights were. No one had expected that he could break through to such a realm in an inexplicably short time. Even his former enemies would feel shocked and fearful of the current Qin Chen. After all, no one had ever imagined that he would have such powerful strength. Up until now, Qin Chen had killed quite a number of these terrifying Gods, but he was also severely injured. He panted heavily, his eyes bloodshot. Everyone prayed for Qin Chen in their hearts. They were also very worried, but they couldn¡¯t go and disturb him. This was because if they interfered, Qin Chen might die as well. Similarly, they would also pay a price. At that time, it would be too late for regrets. As such, they could only watch silently from the side. If anyone dared to make a move, the heavenly tribulation would definitely not pass so easily. Rather, it was very likely to trigger an even more terrifying heavenly tribulation. The dark clouds in the sky were still flashing with lightning. More figures emerged from the dark clouds and an endless stream of Gods was condensing. Qin Chen held the sword with both hands and his entire body seemed to have reached its limit. He burned his blood essence. He refused to die here like this. After all, he was Qin Chen! Following that, he once again erupted with terrifying power, killing those terrifying Gods. The terrifying Gods didn¡¯t know what was the meaning of ¡°being alive¡±. They were just tools manifested by the heavenly tribulation. They only knew how to kill and knew nothing else. The biggest difference between Qin Chen and them was that he had his own thoughts. He was a living person. That was why he could reach his current level. This was the fundamental difference between them. With that, Qin Chen hurriedly made his move, slashing out with his sword once again. This sword strike utilized all of his strength, and countless sword lights howled as they charged toward those terrifying Gods. It was as if a sword domain had been condensed. It was incomparably terrifying. Each sword light possessed the power to tear the void apart in an instant. One could imagine just how powerful Qin Chen had become. Qin Chen¡¯s hair moved without any wind. The consumption of energy in his body was extremely great, and the natural resources he had swallowed were far from keeping up with the proportion of his consumption. If this continued, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. Right now, he could only defend against the attacks of these Gods and kill some of them. However, it was not easy to defeat them head-on. One had to know that no matter how monstrous Qin Chen was, it was impossible for him to possess such terrifying strength. That being said, he had many treasures on him, so he took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. After all, the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace was equally terrifying. It was a great killing weapon in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. It could store terrifying attacks from enemies and release them later, which allowed it to have a significant defensive effect. In the meantime, Qin Chen could catch his breath. At the same time that Qin Chen took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, the countless terrifying Gods launched their attacks, wanting to completely suppress and kill him. They were executing the will of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao wanted Qin Chen to die, then he must die! Chapter 609 - 609 My Turn! 609 My Turn! Terrifying attacks descended once again, like a scene of destruction. It was extremely terrifying. Even Qin Chen and the others did not expect it to be so terrifying. It was simply beyond their understanding. Qin Chen had never thought that the Gods formed by the heavenly tribulation would possess such extreme combat strength. The attack this time was even more terrifying than the one when he was knocked into the pit. Pu! Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. It was only thanks to the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor¡¯s automatic protection that he could still hold on to his breath. Those terrifying Gods were ready to attack again, sending Qin Chen to hell. Seeing this, Qin Chen took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. After all, the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace was no ordinary treasure. Instead, it was a treasure with incredible power. Qin Chen instantly activated the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, and a terrifying aura burst forth. The terrifying divine attacks descended. Qin Chen threw out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, which was instantly like a black hole that absorbed the terrifying attacks. The Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace had absorbed all of the terrifying attacks. This was something that no one had expected. ¡°It¡¯s my turn!¡± Qin Chen roared and slapped the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, returning all the attacks to the enemy. With that, the terrifying attacks appeared once again, but this time, they were being sent back. Before the countless Gods could react, they were swept away by the terrifying bombardment and turned into nothingness, disappearing in an instant. They were the ones who had unleashed those attacks, but they did not expect them to hit them instead. At this moment, Qin Chen no longer had any strength. He looked at the remaining terrifying Gods and revealed a crazy smile. Those terrifying Gods didn¡¯t hesitate at all to launch another wave of terrifying attacks at Qin Chen again. This time, even if Qin Chen had three heads and six arms, he could only die. This was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. Facing incomparably huge pressure, Qin Chen felt that his body was about to shatter. When he thought of this, he felt as if he was about to go crazy. He could not die! The strong desire to live made him feel as if he was about to enter a certain state. Unbeknownst to Qin Chen, his injuries seemed to have stabilized and did not continue to worsen. Then, he molded his body. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t die. He wanted to survive and become stronger! In an instant, Qin Chen felt his life force become incomparably powerful. The Chaotic Divine Body was entering a certain state. Even Qin Chen had never discovered that the Chaotic Divine Body could be in such a heaven-defying state. Following this, he refined a branch of the ancient tree of life. In an instant, rich vitality entered his body. It would probably not be long before he would be able to become stronger. As long as he became stronger, he would no longer fear those terrifying Gods. In his opinion, even if he was no match for these terrifying Gods, he would not take a step back. Not only did he want to live, but he also wanted to kill those terrifying Gods. Since the heavenly tribulation wanted to destroy him, he would put everything he had on the line. ¡°I bet that I can definitely win!¡± Qin Chen roared in rage. Countless Dao patterns appeared on his body. In an instant, his divine power erupted. It gave off fluctuations that were not weaker than those terrifying Gods. A sharp sword imbued with the rules of chaos appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. The innate sword embryo was activated by Qin Chen, and it burst forth with extreme emperor¡¯s might, causing the void to tremble. Following this, he used the Moving Secret Technique and dashed straight into the sky. Above the clouds, countless terrifying Gods charged toward Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen had already disregarded life and death. No matter how terrifying the existence in front of him was, he would not stop. Since he had already embarked on this path, he could not stop unless he was dead. He then slashed out with his sword, sending out boundless flames. It was as if an invincible sword celestial had descended. This powerful sword light destroyed the terrifying Gods in front of him. The bodies of several Gods turned into nothingness under this sword as if they had never appeared before. How could there be such a powerful sword intent? Everyone was extremely excited at this moment. The Elder King was indeed the Elder King. He had far exceeded their imaginations. Then, the terrifying Gods bombarded Qin Chen. The latter continued to slash out with his sword, piercing through the countless terrifying Gods. No one could resist him. After all, Qin Chen was no ordinary person. His Chaotic Divine Body had entered its current state, so he was no longer afraid of these terrifying Gods. So what if the other parties were Gods formed from the heavenly tribulation? Qin Chen remained fearless. He stepped straight into the battlefield and invincible sword lights swept across. It was simply impossible for others to look straight at him. This was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. His ability to possess such great power was also related to his current state. Since Qin Chen had already decided that he would give everything he had, he would kill anyone who stood in his way. Violent sword light rose in all directions. Those terrifying Gods did not know what death was because they were not living beings, just empty shells. ¡°Die!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s sword light transformed into the most terrifying sword intent in the world. It was almost able to tear apart those terrifying Gods. The bodies of the terrifying Gods were directly shattered. It seemed as if they didn¡¯t exist in the world anymore. This terrifying scene shocked the hearts of everyone. They watched Qin Chen¡¯s invincibility as he continued to slaughter those terrifying Gods. Even if he had to give up everything, he refused to let these terrifying Gods kill him. Some of the terrifying attacks of the Gods landed on his body and made him bleed, but he was still not so easy to deal with. Soon, he charged forward. Although the enemy was strong, he would still face them head-on! ¡°The Elder King¡¯s current state is very strange,¡± The big scorpion had never heard of such a thing. Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength had been raised by several folds, almost reaching the limit. This was his current strength. No matter how terrifying those Gods were, they were still not his match. Qin Chen continued to exterminate them. The flame-wing beast was also extremely shocked. Although those terrifying Gods were nothing to it, if it were in Qin Chen¡¯s shoes, it would¡¯ve been impossible for it to be as powerful as Qin Chen. Qin Chen¡¯s strength was something that ordinary people couldn¡¯t fathom. It was as if they were looking at a monstrous monster. Chapter 610 - 610 Monster 610 Monster In everyone¡¯s understanding, Qin Chen was already an exception. ¡°Monster¡­¡± The flame-wing beast believed that if Qin Chen had enough time, he would most definitely become the strongest cultivator it had ever seen. Boom! The countless terrifying Gods in the sky had already turned into nothing. Qin Chen was covered in blood. He looked up at the sky. The terrifying tribulation clouds were dissipating. Instead, they seemed to have turned into something invisible that landed on his body. In that instant, Qin Chen felt as if he had suffered a backlash. He knelt on the ground as more and more blood gushed out of his body. Countless wounds were bleeding non-stop. However, when the invisible thing fell, he discovered that the originally serious injuries on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was something he had never expected. He looked into the distance. At that moment, his aura soared. At this point, he had completely stabilized his realm and stepped into level 3 of the God Emperor realm! There had never been a cultivator who could break through as quickly as Qin Chen. Even the ancient great emperors couldn¡¯t do what he could at the same level. This was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. Then, Qin Chen lay on the ground. He felt that his body was about to reach its limit. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with boundless shock. This scene was as unbelievable as a miracle. Any cultivator who faced Qin Chen¡¯s desperate situation just now would¡¯ve certainly died. Yet, Qin Chen survived. After resting, Qin Chen prepared to bring everyone back to the nine Heavens and ten lands. It was also at this moment that a man whose whereabouts were a mystery paused as the chess piece in his hand was about to land. At some point, the chess piece in his hand had turned into nothingness. ¡°Looks like time is running out.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t think that he would survive. Although he was not an ordinary person, the chances of survival in that desperate situation just now had been zero. Currently, he had broken through to level 3 of the God Emperor realm. With the addition of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, two God Venerable realm experts, they already had enough confidence to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands. Even if those terrifying old monsters wanted to make a move against them, they would have to consider whether they had enough power. After all, Qin Chen also had countless treasures. With so many trump cards added up, he was very confident that he could protect the people he cared about. At this moment, Qin Chen was already prepared. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± Even Qin Chen himself had not expected that he would break through to the God Emperor realm so quickly. According to what that terrifying warrior said, his true body should be trapped somewhere. After returning to the nine Heavens and ten lands this time, one of the things Qin Chen had to do was to release the terrifying true body of the warrior. That terrifying warrior might have already stepped into an indescribable realm. Since that was the case, it should be beneficial to Qin Chen. After all, facing those terrifying old monsters, the stronger he was, the better. Besides, that terrifying warrior had already decided to cooperate with him. Although he had deceived that warrior, on the other side, since he managed to break through to the God Emperor realm in such a short time, he could try to fight for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor back in the nine Heavens and ten lands. If other existences obtained the opportunity to become a great emperor, Qin Chen would very likely be threatened by them. Therefore, it was better for him to fight for the chance himself. After all, no matter what, as long as he became stronger, no one would be able to threaten him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. If other existences knew what he was thinking, they would definitely laugh their heads off. After all, countless old monsters and old fogies existed in this world. They were all here for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. The path to this peerless opportunity would surely be paved with blood and bones. A God Emperor like Qin Chen wasn¡¯t even qualified to be cannon fodder on this rare opportunity. Qin Chen clenched his fists. He had to fight for it himself. If it was in the past, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have had any thoughts about it. However, after this period, Qin Chen fully understood that only after he became stronger could he remain unthreatened forever. After that, Qin Chen brought the flame-wing beast and the others to the ruins. Then, they instantly arrived in the starry sky once again. Countless stars were shining. Sensing the familiar aura of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, Qin Chen smiled. He had returned and become stronger. Even if those old farts and monsters wanted to kill him, they would have to consider whether they would be defeated instead. Besides, their strength had to be reserved to fight for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. Therefore, they would not easily make a move. After all, if their enemies found a flaw, they might be injured at the very least, or in the worst case, everything would be for nothing. Qin Chen advanced step by step. As Qin Chen and the others appeared in this piece of the starry sky, the void started to tremble. This was because their cultivation was too powerful. The most important thing for Qin Chen now was to hide. It was not the time for news of his return to leak. He still had to find the true body of that terrifying warrior to strengthen his party. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would not be able to borrow any strength in this chaos. To be honest, Qin Chen was far from enough to obtain the opportunity to become a great emperor. However, that might not be the case in the future. He was confident that as long as he became stronger, no one would be able to stop him. After all, he was Qin Chen! Qin Chen told everyone to conceal their auras. This way, they wouldn¡¯t be easily exposed. Then, he led everyone away. Currently, he was clueless about where the terrifying true body of the warrior was in the nine Heavens and ten lands. Wherever that could trap such a terrifying expert was definitely very dangerous. Therefore, Qin Chen set his eyes on those extremely dangerous places. As long as he could explore these places, he would definitely be able to find the true body of the terrifying warrior. At that time, he would have enough strength to challenge those old monsters. Then, they tore through the void and left the starry sky. After some time, Qin Chen finally stopped. He looked into the distance. There was actually a powerful divinity remnant aura in the distance. Chapter 611 - 611 Flickering Light 611 Flickering Light The aura of such powerful divinity made Qin Chen feel pleasantly surprised. This meant that he could check in through the system and obtain treasures. At this moment, somewhere unknown, a black stone golem was becoming stronger. Like an explosion, its aura grew crazily. In front of it was a blurry figure. ¡°Roar!¡± The black stone golem let out a furious roar. Then, the blurry figure opened his mouth and said, ¡°Have you reached level 8 of the God Emperor realm?¡± When the black stone golem stabilized its realm and recovered its senses, it immediately knelt. ¡°Thank you, master!¡± This blurry figure was the master of the black stone golem. Even the black stone golem hadn¡¯t expected its master to reappear in the world, and even make it extremely powerful. Its master was indeed its master. Currently, the world was about to fall into chaos. As if on the verge of dying, countless experts had appeared in the nine Heavens and ten lands, and even the cosmic. That being said, experts who broke through several levels in one go like the black stone golem were still very rare. Even the black stone golem itself could not imagine such a powerful method. At this moment, the black stone golem¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. In the past, its body had been shattered by the human Elder King. It did not expect that it would actually be able to break through and reach its current realm one day. This was simply a dream. On the black stone golem was a power that did not belong to it. It was this terrifying power that allowed it to complete such an impossible breakthrough. Then, it saw its master handing it an almost transparent sword. ¡°This sword is called Flickering Light. It¡¯s an ancient treasure that I once obtained. Now, I¡¯ll hand this sword over to you. ¡± Hearing this, the black stone golem trembled. It wasn¡¯t that it was ignorant of the fact that its master had such a sword. Instead, Flickering Light was famous. Back then, its master had suppressed countless geniuses alone with this one sword, causing those experts with extraordinary aptitudes to admit defeat. This was truly a treasure. The blurry figure must have his thoughts for handing such a good thing to the black stone golem. Then, the blurry figure disappeared. It was obvious that the master of the black stone golem hadn¡¯t died. He had lived to this era, wanting to grasp this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. One could imagine how many experts like the master of the black stone golem would appear in this era. Their goal was the same: To break through to become an ancient great emperor. Only by becoming an ancient great emperor could one become undying. After all, no matter how powerful one was, one simply couldn¡¯t have the power to be undying, unless one reached the mysterious realm of ancient great emperors. Legend had it that once one reached this realm, one could then obtain power that would make one almost immortal. This was the only way to become stronger. To truly become undying and indestructible, this was probably the only chance they had. Only after becoming an ancient great emperor would they slowly discover that almost all of the ancient great emperors in history and above had already left. It was unknown if they were still alive. The black stone golem laughed loudly. ¡°Goodbye, master!¡± After the blurry figure left, the black stone golem stood up and prepared to leave. It was currently already incomparably powerful. Coupled with Flickering Light, it was like adding wings to a tiger. ¡°If only I can find the human Elder King.¡± The black stone golem¡¯s eyes were filled with rage. After all, it had almost died in Qin Chen¡¯s hands. ¡°Master¡¯s plan is huge. So what if that human Elder King is powerful? He will still be reduced to a mere chess piece.¡± Qin Chen suddenly sneezed. He looked at the majestic and terrifying mountain in the distance. Then, he smiled. They had finally arrived. There was an unknown amount of powerful divinity power here. As long as he could get there, he would most definitely be able to obtain some kind of treasure by checking in with the system. Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± He then led everyone into the mountain. There were countless terrifying demonic beasts in the mountains that seemed to have always been there. This caused Qin Chen and the others to be extremely shocked. There were simply too many of them. It was simply beyond their imagination. The number of demonic beasts was so huge it was to a point where they were like a tide. Qin Chen and the others stopped in their tracks. Even the big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°There seems to be something wrong with the demonic beasts here.¡± It was simply beyond his imagination. God knows why so many demonic beasts would appear here. One had to know that so many demonic beasts that had already reached the Supreme Sage realm were a terrifying force. Even in the nine Heavens and ten lands, there was probably no expert who could contend with this power. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others were no longer the same as before. Coincidentally, Qin Chen also wanted to test his strength at level 3 of the God Emperor realm. Thinking up to this point, he began to act. In an instant, the innate sword embryo appeared in his hand. He infused the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo, making it incomparably powerful. An ordinary expert was no match for Qin Chen. Instantly, he slashed out with his sword. The ordinary demonic beasts could sense Qin Chen¡¯s powerful aura. Facing him, they roared in anger as if they were about to go berserk. Besides, there were also the God Venerable realm flame-wing beast and the true dragon behind Qin Chen. Their God Venerable realm aura was unstoppable. Therefore, the demonic beasts regarded Qin Chen and the others as a force that wanted to destroy them. As s result, they would not stop even if they died. They had to make a final gamble. ¡°Roar!¡± The roars let out by countless demonic beasts were deafening, so much so it was as if an army of 10,000 was fighting. Following this, Qin Chen charged into the demonic beasts alone. These terrifying demonic beasts didn¡¯t seem to be his match at all. After all, Qin Chen was no ordinary person. After the breakthrough, he was like an invincible war god. The demonic beasts would probably all be killed in no time. Wherever Qin Chen went, rivers of blood formed. God knows how many demonic beasts could no longer hold on. Even if they gave up everything, they could never get the chance to injure Qin Chen. Chapter 612 - 612 Demon Ancestor 612 Demon Ancestor A layer of light circulated on the surface of Qin Chen¡¯s body. As a result, even if a terrifying attack landed on him, it couldn¡¯t injure him. Qin Chen advanced step by step. He looked into the distance. The demonic beast corpses on the ground had already dyed the ground red. This terrifying scene shocked everyone. ¡°There must be something unusual for so many demonic beasts to be here.¡± The reason why Qin Chen was so certain was that there were powerful divinity remnants here. It was obvious that there might be some danger on this mountain. Even though the cosmic was not as terrifying as the Divine Illusionary Realm, they still had to be careful. Otherwise, if they encountered some terrifying old undying or old monster, it would be too late for them to regret. Qin Chen had killed many demonic beasts with his terrifying strength. The remaining demonic beasts were already on the verge of despair. One could imagine that the terrifying demonic beasts had already been frightened out of their wits. If they continued to resist, the ones who would die would probably be themselves. Then, Qin Chen continued forward and everyone followed. God knows what was ahead. Qin Chen advanced step by step, encountering countless demonic beast experts along the way. However, even if all of those demonic beasts joined forces, they were still no match for him. ¡°The demonic beasts here are too strong and too many,¡± The big scorpion could not help but click his tongue. Had it already become like this? At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the world. ¡°Who are you? How dare you trespass into the demon ancestor¡¯s land?¡± This sound was too terrifying, simply beyond their imaginations. ¡°The demon ancestor?¡± Qin Chen stopped and looked into the distance, not knowing what to say. It seemed that there was indeed some abnormality in this mountain. Countless experts were here, and this place was obviously the territory of the so-called demon ancestor. Since that voice had said such words, it was enough to prove that there was an old undying monster on this mountain. After all, a demon without strength couldn¡¯t possibly be called an ancestor. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked up at the mountain. God knows how many more terrifying experts were on this mountain. A terrifying figure condensed. It was incomparably powerful. On the head of this figure was an obvious horn. Obviously, this was the demon ancestor. The demon ancestor looked at Qin Chen. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was dripping with blood, and the ground was covered in corpses. The demonic beast corpses looked like a sea of blood. When Qin Chen saw the demon ancestor, he was shocked. To think he couldn¡¯t see through the strength of this terrifying demon ancestor. It was simply beyond his imagination. Then, the demon ancestor said, ¡°You¡¯ve killed so many of my juniors. How do you want to die?¡± When the last word was said, Qin Chen and the others instantly felt like they had fallen into an ice cave. One could imagine how powerful this terrifying demon ancestor was. It had completely exceeded Qin Chen¡¯s understanding. In the nine Heavens and ten lands, or even in the cosmic, it was really unimaginable that there would be such a powerful old undying monster. As expected, terrifying old undying monsters had started to appear. It would not be long before these terrifying existences would cause chaos in the world. But this time, Qin Chen had already stirred up a huge mess. After all, these terrifying old undying monsters would definitely fight to the death for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. It was simply impossible for them to get along harmoniously. Many of these old farts and old monsters had deep blood feuds between them. There was no way for them to coexist. And now, this terrifying and undying old monster looked at Qin Chen, unable to find the words to describe the latter. ¡°Are you ready to die?¡± At this point, Qin Chen had completely offended this demon ancestor. That being said, no matter how powerful this terrifying demon ancestor was, he might not be able to completely defeat Qin Chen and the others. After all, Qin Chen and the others were already at the level of experts. If their strength was added together, it would be impossible for ordinary experts to deal with them. Although Qin Chen still couldn¡¯t tell what level of strength this terrifying demon ancestor had, no matter how powerful the other party was, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. Even if a fight broke out, it was hard to say who would be defeated. Qin Chen walked forward step by step. Behind him, the God Venerable-realm flame-wing beast and the true dragon, as well as the big scorpion and the others, followed. The terrifying figure smiled, ¡°Oh? So you still have two God Venerable Realm experts.¡± The demon ancestor was surprised. Could it be that one of his terrifying enemies wanted to make a move on him? No matter how arrogant he was, he simply could not remember which terrifying enemy would want to attack him. ¡°But if you want to challenge me with just two God Venerable realm experts, it¡¯s simply wishful thinking!¡± Qin Chen narrowed his eyes as he stared at this terrifying expert. Either way, it was impossible for the matter to be ended peacefully now. After all, he had completely offended this demon ancestor. If it weren¡¯t for the powerful divinity remnant, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have made a move. At this point, he had no choice but to act. If all of them attacked with their full strength, this terrifying expert might not be able to defeat them. Thinking of this, Qin Chen prepared to make his move. The demon ancestor immediately unleashed a terrifying fluctuation, wanting to kill Qin Chen and the others. These guys had already crossed his bottom line. He would definitely not allow these guys to live. Since they had sent themselves to his door, they would have to be prepared to bleed. Although he still did not know which enemy had sent his subordinates to attack him, since they were already here, they had to be prepared to stay here forever. Thinking of this, the demon ancestor directly attacked. In an instant, a terrifying fluctuation shook the nine heavens, and an incomparably powerful attack fell. The demon ancestor didn¡¯t use his full strength when he attacked because he thought an old enemy of his was behind Qin Chen and the others. He had many enemies back then. If he didn¡¯t hold back, he might be caught off guard by the other party, and his life might be in danger. Being able to cultivate until now, the demon ancestor was not a retard. He couldn¡¯t possibly do such a stupid thing. Chapter 613 - 613 Die! 613 Die! Therefore, when the invincible demon ancestor faced Qin Chen and attacked the latter, he still held back a portion of his strength. He didn¡¯t use all his strength. Even so, Qin Chen was no match for the terrifying demon ancestor. He was sent flying by a blast, falling to the ground, and creating a huge pit. No one had expected the demon ancestor to be so powerful. ¡°You¡¯ve killed so many of my juniors. I can¡¯t let you live today! Die!¡± After saying this, the demon ancestor laughed wildly and attacked again. There was only one way for him to force out the experts who might be hiding in the surroundings, and that was to blast them out. After killing Qin Chen and the others, the expert hiding behind them would definitely appear. This was what the demon ancestor thought. He was already prepared. After Qin Chen died, he would kill the two God Venerable realm experts as well. After all, the two God Venerable realm experts were probably considered as the left and right arms of the expert who might be behind them. Since the other party had sent these fellows here while clearly knowing of his existence, they most surely wanted to attack him. Qin Chen was terrified when he saw the demon ancestor¡¯s terrifying attack arrive in front of him in an instant. He was able to withstand the demon ancestor¡¯s attack just now purely because he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on him. Otherwise, he might have died. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to act. He absolutely could not let the other party hit him. Otherwise, even the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor might not be able to protect him this time. He immediately stood up from the huge pit on the ground. Then, he used the Moving Secret Technique and finally escaped from the bombardment. If it wasn¡¯t for his fast reaction speed, he might have already been hit by the attack. At that time, it was very likely that he would be severely injured. Even with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he might not be able to resist the other party. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly left. Unfortunately, how could the demon ancestor let Qin Chen escape? Qin Chen¡¯s hands were stained with the blood of many of his juniors. Letting the culprit go just like that would be incomparably uncomfortable. On the other side, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with anger. If there was a chance, he would not let this terrifying demon ancestor die a good death! However, at this moment, he was moving forward. ¡°You still want to escape? Can you? Just die!¡± The terrifying demon ancestor opened his eyes and looked at Qin Chen. In his eyes, this human cultivator was like an ant. He could turn the latter into ashes with a snap of his fingers. Qin Chen and the others did not know how powerful the demon ancestor was. It was hard to imagine what realm this terrifying demon ancestor¡¯s strength was in. There was deep fear in everyone¡¯s eyes. When they saw Qin Chen being struck, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were already prepared to make a move. They couldn¡¯t let the terrifying demon ancestor kill him. With that, they instantly transformed into their true forms. Their huge bodies were like moving planets in the void as they smashed straight toward the terrifying demon ancestor. In their opinion, as long as they could strike first and gain the upper hand, the demon ancestor should not have much strength. In an instant, this terrifying demon ancestor erupted again. He let out monstrous fluctuations to block the attacks of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. Seeing the flame-wing beast and the true dragon join forces to attack him, this terrifying demon still found no reason to retreat. Instead, he continued to attack Qin Chen relentlessly. No matter what, he had to destroy this weak ordinary human cultivator! If he could kill this ordinary human cultivator, he might be able to find the expert behind the latter. In the eyes of the demon ancestor, one of his former enemies must be behind this human cultivator. Therefore, he vowed to fish the other party out. He could not let the other party continue like this. Qin Chen simply smiled. He didn¡¯t know how this terrifying expert would treat him, but seeing the flame-wing beast and the true dragon charge over in an attempt to help him resist the terrifying demon ancestor, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. The terrifying demon ancestor continued to attack, wanting to kill Qin Chen. Qin Chen looked at the terrifying attack coming toward him. His heart immediately raced even faster. This attack was far more powerful than the attacks he had encountered before, and even he was not sure if he could resist it. At this point, he could only leave it to fate. Immediately after, Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and poured the divine power in his body into it, then launched an attack on the terrifying demon ancestor. In just an instant, he slashed out countless sword lights, forming a sword prison that suppressed the terrifying demon ancestor. Only in this way could he hope to survive at the other party¡¯s hands. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t sure how much longer his sword lights could last. Therefore, he had to take this opportunity to put down these terrifying experts in the nine Heavens and ten lands. He wanted them to know that they could just not do as they liked at any time they pleased. Qin Chen chose to do this because the arrow was already on the bow and he had no choice but to shoot. After all, the terrifying demon ancestor could cause countless monstrous demonic energy fluctuations with a wave of his hand. It was extremely terrifying and not many experts could withstand it. However, the current Qin Chen took the initiative to attack, wanting to block this terrifying attack. The innate sword embryo in his hand exploded with a terrifying attack. At the same time, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had also unleashed their most powerful techniques. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t just watch Qin Chen die just like this. Therefore, they had to help him. No matter how terrifying this demon ancestor was, they had to face him together. As expected of the demon ancestor, he was naturally extremely terrifying. A strike landed, and Qin Chen was sent smashing into the ground once again. This time, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon accompanied him. They were smashed into the ground together with Qin Chen. Blood covered their bodies and a large amount of their divine power evaporated. Qin Chen was almost unable to stand up. Yet, this was still the result of the demon ancestor holding back and not attacking with his full strength. Otherwise, it would¡¯ve been impossible for Qin Chen and the others to even take the demon ancestor¡¯s attack. The demon ancestor was puzzled. Chapter 614 - 614 The Ancient Blood Moon Phenomenon 614 The Ancient Blood Moon Phenomenon These guys were about to be destroyed by him, but the terrifying expert behind them still did not come out. What was going on? The demon ancestor was at a loss. He had originally deduced that there should be a terrifying enemy standing behind Qin Chen and the others. But now, these guys were about to be slaughtered by him, yet there still was no terrifying existence. What was going on? What went wrong? Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. Even if he had many treasures, he could only be beaten up like this. If this demon ancestor was even a little stronger, he would probably be dead by now. After all, he was still too weak. In the eyes of the demon ancestor, Qin Chen and the others were probably out of their minds. If a sworn enemy of his wasn¡¯t behind them, they were simply unbelievably stupid to come to attack his territory with their strength. After all, no matter what, he was not to be trifled with. ¡°Who is the person behind you?¡± The demon ancestor asked. He didn¡¯t know who the expert behind Qin Chen and the others was. Similarly, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what the demon ancestor meant. The demon ancestor secretly felt that it was a pity. If there was really no one behind these guys, then he was prepared to send them on their way. In an instant, the demon ancestor attacked directly and threw another terrifying punch. This fist was the demonic path¡¯s holy fist. According to records, it had long been lost. But now, it was actually used by this demon ancestor. It made Qin Chen and the others feel as if they had returned to the ancient era. Qin Chen and the others felt their hearts turn cold. They would probably be shattered into pieces under this punch. After all, they were simply no match for the demon ancestor. At this moment, there was actually a fluctuation in the void. ¡°He¡¯s here!¡± The demon ancestor¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. He knew that there must be an arch-enemy of his behind these people who wanted to make a move on him. Therefore, he had long been prepared. Watching as the terrifying demon ancestor charged toward them, Qin Chen and the others originally had no hopes of surviving. But now, a powerful fluctuation appeared in the void. At that point, they were about to go crazy. Was there someone else who wanted to kill the demon ancestor? If that were the case, they could use this opportunity to leave. Now, Qin Chen knew that even though he had broken through to the God Emperor realm, and he had the flame-wing beast and the true dragon under him, he still couldn¡¯t take the initiative to provoke powerful enemies like the old undying monsters. Otherwise, he would be courting death. At this moment, a terrifying aura erupted in the void. It was a terrifying aura that Qin Chen and the others had never experienced before. It was so very terrifying. They felt as if they had never seen such a powerful expert before. Then, a blood moon appeared. The pressure it emitted had already reached an unimaginable level. One could imagine how powerful the blood moon was. It was simply inconceivable. The demon ancestor widened his eyes. ¡°What?! It¡¯s actually you! How could you have appeared?¡± The demon ancestor¡¯s mind was in a mess. What was going on? Legend had it that in ancient times, blood moon phenomenons would occur, accompanied by death. Billions of lives would be lost. But now, why was there the blood moon phenomenon from the ancient era behind Qin Chen and the others? The demon ancestor¡¯s heart was filled with fear. He could not fight head-on with the other party at all. Such an ancient-era phenomenon was plain eerie and had power that he could not imagine. If they attacked together, the one at a disadvantage would definitely be the demon ancestor. After all, he was no longer as powerful as before. Thinking of this, the demon ancestor felt that he was about to suffer a breakdown. What was going on? Could it be that the ancient phenomenon behind these guys wasn¡¯t fond of him? ¡°Shit!¡± As the demon ancestor, he was extremely afraid of such a terrifying ancient-era phenomenon. Even if he and some other experts joined forces, they would not be a match for this ancient-era phenomenon. But what could he do? Now, this terrifying ancient-era phenomenon had already appeared. The demon ancestor naturally did not have the strength to resist. Therefore, he could only run! This demon ancestor was not an idiot. He knew that he was not as powerful as he was back then. Back then, he was extremely wary of this ancient phenomenon. Now, he needed to be even more careful. Otherwise, he might lose his life. With that, the demon ancestor hurriedly brought some of his juniors with him and left. If they stayed, they might die. They were not lunatics. Those who went to challenge the ancient-era phenomenon all died without exception. Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to resist this terrifying aura. One could imagine how terrifying the power of these ancient-era phenomena was. Even the demon ancestor had to retreat. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Qin Chen and the others had been prepared to die, but unexpectedly, that terrifying demon ancestor escaped instead. This was a situation that Qin Chen had never imagined. Logically speaking, no one should be able to threaten this demon ancestor. Yet now, the other party had no choice but to escape. A blood moon appeared in the eyes of Qin Chen and the others. This blood moon was incomparably powerful. It didn¡¯t look like something they could provoke. If Qin Chen and the others dared to make a move, they would probably die a miserable death. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately acted. He could feel the fluctuation emitted by this terrifying blood moon, and he felt as if he was on the verge of death. The fluctuations emitted by the blood moon were not something to be trifled with. This caused Qin Chen and the others to sigh in their hearts. Fortunately, the blood moon didn¡¯t target them. Instead, it disappeared after the demon ancestor left. It seemed to have broken through the void and left. This phenomenon was something that Qin Chen and the others had never imagined. ¡°What was that just now?¡± Qin Chen felt suffocated. In front of the blood moon, the terrifying demon ancestor acted as if it had seen its natural enemy. One could imagine how afraid this terrifying demon ancestor was. He immediately ran away. The blood moon did not attack Qin Chen and the others. Otherwise, they would have died. Even if they joined forces, there was no chance that they could stop the terrifying blood moon. When they thought of this, everyone rejoiced in their hearts as if they had survived a calamity. Fortunately, the blood moon had already left. Otherwise, they might die. Qin Chen and the others slowly stood up. They looked at the tall mountain. There were no more powerful creatures around. Chapter 615 - 615 Rosy Cloud Flower 615 Rosy Cloud Flower In other words, it was time for Qin Chen and the others to make their move. Since a super-powerful existence as the demon ancestor had already escaped, how could there be a second demon ancestor here? Qin Chen had always wanted to obtain the powerful remnants of divinity in this mountain. As long as he could do so, he could check in through the system and obtain treasures. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly moved. He could not let this opportunity slip away from his hands. He hurriedly swallowed some natural resources, then led everyone away. Only by entering the mountain could he check in and obtain treasures. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly led everyone into the mountain. The mountain was filled with waves of chaotic aura, but Qin Chen was able to quickly distinguish the location of the remaining divinity power. Then, he hurried over. He would only be able to find it after he went over. Feeling the most powerful divinity remnants, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He had thought that he was about to die, but unexpectedly, he could now get close to the place where the divinity remnants were instead. As long as he found it, he could check in. The powerful divinity power remnant was like a bright lamp in the night, allowing Qin Chen to distinguish the direction. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped because a terrifying scene had appeared in front of him. A huge skeleton had appeared in front of them. It was golden in color and emitted a powerful divinity aura. Qin Chen finally found it. This should be the thing that was emitting the powerful aura of the divinity remnants. Looking at the skeleton, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes revealed an incredulous expression. It was emitting a powerful divine aura. Was this what he was looking for? He then approached the giant skeleton step by step. Following this, he heard the system¡¯s voice in his mind. [Ding dong!] [Divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: This location can be checked into repeatedly!] As expected, this was the place Qin Chen was looking for. With that, he silently muttered ¡°check in¡± in his heart. [Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in to the distant desolate skeleton. You have obtained the treasure ¡°Rosy Cloud Flower¡±!] [Rosy Cloud Flower: A terrifying celestial spiritual plant that only existed in the ancient era. It is said to have incredible power that can allow people to continuously break through and improve their ability to communicate with heaven and earth.] Upon seeing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. To think the treasure he had obtained from checking in through the system was the Rosy Cloud Flower. With that, a glowing flower appeared in his hand. It was emitting a rosy light which made it look very dreamy! Qin Chen kept it in his storage ring. Then, he left the place quickly with everyone else. He knew that they couldn¡¯t stay here for long. If they did, they might really die here. After all, it was very likely that the terrifying demon ancestor would return. If they waited until the demon ancestor returned, Qin Chen would have no chance of winning. Now that he had obtained the Rosy Cloud Flower, he should leave this place all the more. He should not stay. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately took action and brought everyone away, tearing apart the void and crossing it. Even if he continued to stay, it would no longer be of any use. On the contrary, he might fall into a terrifying situation. As such, Qin Chen and the others left. They moved forward once again. Finally, Qin Chen found a safe place and stopped. Then, he took out the Rosy Cloud Flower. The rosy flower was spinning. It seemed to contain a terrifying power. Just the medicinal power that was emitted made their hearts tremble. It was indeed a treasure! To think it could cause the divine power in their bodies to riot. Qin Chen divided the Rosy Cloud Flower into six portions and gave one to each of them. This way, they would all be able to improve and become stronger. One had to know that this was a treasure guarded by the demon ancestor. It must be very precious. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Qin Chen could check in through the system, he might not have been able to obtain this treasure. This was a great fortune that was rare even in the Divine Illusionary Realm. The demon ancestor probably did not know that this treasure had such power. If he knew that the place he was guarding had such a treasure, he would definitely rush toward Qin Chen and snatch the Rosy Cloud Flower away. Following this, Qin Chen naturally began to refine it. Qin Chen¡¯s refining speed was extremely fast. After all, he had broken through to the God Emperor realm. Now, he needed more power to raise his cultivation. He was overjoyed to have obtained this flower that was emitting rosy light. As such, he directly refined it. Everyone also did the same. They knew that now was not the time to hesitate. After all, when they were facing the demon ancestor previously, they had already felt that their strength was insufficient. They were just too weak. Otherwise, the other party would not have had the opportunity to suppress them. If not for the blood moon that appeared at the end, how could they have had the chance to escape? Qin Chen hurriedly refined the flower that was emitting rosy light. It was currently the best treasure. Soon, he finished refining the flower, and his realm began to increase. He had reached level 4 of the God Emperor realm and was only one step away from advancing to level 5. His speed of advancement was simply unprecedented. Everyone was incomparably shocked. They simply couldn¡¯t comprehend how Qin Chen could be so powerful and breakthrough so quickly. This matter had already exceeded their imagination. Then, everyone refined their own flowers, making themselves stronger. Not too long later, they discovered that Qin Chen had actually broken through. This meant that he would likely face a heavenly tribulation. One must know that every heavenly tribulation was incomparably powerful. Since Qin Chen had broken through again, it meant that there was a high possibility that the heavenly tribulation would descend again. Chapter 616 - 616 Im Destined to Break Through Today! 616 I¡¯m Destined to Break Through Today! Everyone was speechless. They were simply at a loss for words to describe Qin Chen. Not long ago, Qin Chen had just broken through. To think he was now going to break through again so quickly. It simply made them incomparably shocked. Right now, Qin Chen could feel that his body seemed to have undergone some sort of transformation. One had to know that the current Qin Chen was no ordinary person. He had already stepped into level 5 of the God Emperor realm. In terms of breakthrough speed, even those ancient great emperors were slightly inferior to him. Even if all of them joined forces, they wouldn¡¯t be as terrifying as him. Qin Chen looked at the sky. It was chiming. Clearly, the heavenly tribulation was slowly descending. When it really was time for the heavenly tribulation to descend, there was definitely no way to stop it. After all, the terrifying heavenly tribulation was not something that ordinary people could withstand. At this moment, Qin Chen seemed to have been locked on by some kind of opportunity. It felt as if he had no way to resist. Following this, he circulated his Chaotic Divine Body. The heavenly tribulation this time was even more powerful than before. The scale of the past heavenly tribulations was similar to that of the apocalypse, but the current heavenly tribulation seemed to want to erase this area between heaven and earth. ¡°Has it already reached this stage?¡± Qin Chen simply couldn¡¯t fathom just how determined the Heavenly Dao was to kill him. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was certain that if he continued to live, he would become a peerless character like an ancient great emperor. Generally speaking, after breaking through to the realm of ancient great emperors, one would be able to control the heavens and the earth. How could the Heavenly Dao allow its authority to be lost? Therefore, the best way was to kill Qin Chen. Only by doing so could it be at ease. Thinking of this, Qin Chen discovered that the terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed to have become even more powerful. The surroundings were chaotic space currents. Terrifying heavenly tribulations kept descending from the sky. However, they didn¡¯t attack Qin Chen immediately. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for something. ¡°Do you want to kill me?¡± Qin Chen smiled. He had witnessed and experienced all sorts of huge events in his life. Almost all of them had left him in desperate straits, but he had survived them all. Could a mere heavenly tribulation destroy him? Since the Heavenly Dao wanted to destroy him, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t let that happen. As such, he took out the innate sword embryo from his storage ring. Currently, Qin Chen and the innate sword embryo were already able to communicate with each other at will. As long as he made a move, the innate sword embryo would be able to unleash a terrifying power. This was a weapon left behind by a former great emperor, the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was one of the best extreme emperor weapons, having been refined by two ancient great emperors. Its true power was enough to move the Heavenly Dao. Unfortunately, Qin Chen was still unable to unleash the full power of the innate sword embryo. Still, he immediately used the Moving Secret Technique to kill his way over. He wasn¡¯t afraid of those heavenly tribulations at all. Instead, he wanted to destroy them. Only by doing so could he survive. Otherwise, he would die here. Whatever Qin Chen wanted to do, no one could stop him. ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Chen let out a furious roar. The aura on his body became stronger as he charged forward. The terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed to have awakened as it charged toward Qin Chen as well, wanting to kill him. Facing the terrifying heavenly tribulation, Qin Chen only had one thing to do, and that was to keep moving forward. A terrifying aura erupted from his body. Just with this puny heavenly tribulation, it was almost impossible to stop Qin Chen. This was only the first wave of the heavenly tribulation. The coming heavenly tribulations would become more and more terrifying. Rules of chaos condensed on the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand and were slashed out. The void was torn apart layer by layer as if it was being sliced apart. This was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. At this moment, he had already stepped into level 4 of the God Emperor realm. He had also become stronger. If he were to fight against those experts from before, Qin Chen would be able to kill them easily. At this point, Qin Chen smiled because the terrifying heavenly tribulations were far from the point where he had to retreat. He quickly made his move, slashing out again, making his attacks turn into an incomparable sword rain. The heavenly tribulations in the sword-light domain exploded with a bang of muffled thunder. However, this was not the end of the heavenly tribulation. Instead, it became even more terrifying. An even more terrifying heavenly tribulation descended, turning into a monstrous tide that surged toward Qin Chen. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t the only one who was attacked. The surrounding world was also affected. To eliminate Qin Chen, the Heavenly Dao had already resorted to all means. Most importantly, before he could react, a heavenly tribulation that was enough to destroy this world already descended, attempting to kill him. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before Qin Chen and this corner of the world was completely destroyed and disappeared. However, Qin Chen had already made his preparations. A light appeared on his body as the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor automatically protected its master and erupted with a powerful fluctuation. At this moment, Qin Chen also charged over. So what if the heavenly tribulation was like an unstoppable sky screen? He still had nothing to fear. He alone, with a single sword, ascended to the sky. ¡°Elder King!¡± Everyone exclaimed. No one had expected that the heavenly tribulation Qin Chen had to face would be so powerful. Even they did not have the power to trigger such a heavenly tribulation. The mighty heavenly tribulation had already caused web-like cracks to appear in some places on the ground. A terrifying pressure descended and all life was trembling. Qin Chen shouted, ¡°I¡¯m destined to break through today!¡± Then, his figure disappeared with a bang. No one knew where he had gone. It was mainly because he was too fast. Now that Qin Chen had broken through to level 4 of the God Emperor realm, he had a better grasp of the Moving Secret Technique. Only the flame-wing beast and the true dragon who had broken through to the God Venerable realm could keep up with Qin Chen¡¯s speed. At this moment, Qin Chen was right in front of the terrifying heavenly tribulations. The only way to destroy this corner of the world was to through his dead body. The terrifying heavenly tribulation bombarded him as if saying that he was like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating his own strength. This heavenly tribulation wanted to destroy Qin Chen. The terrifying pressure pressed down on his body inch by inch. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes flashed with a fierce light. Then, he instantly tore apart the pressure and faced the terrifying heavenly tribulation head-on. He took a step forward as he slashed out with the innate sword embryo in his hand. Chapter 617 - 617 Mysterious Light 617 Mysterious Light At this point, the innate sword embryo turned into a terrifying light that tore through the void. It clashed with the terrifying heavenly tribulation, and a terrifying explosion instantly occurred. Qin Chen was sent flying due to the explosion and smashed into the ground. Even he did not have much confidence in withstanding this terrifying heavenly tribulation. Could it be that this was the end? Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. He was constantly adjusting his aura because he was determined that even if he died, he could not take even half a step back. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± The flame-wing beast hurriedly said to the others, If they stayed, they would be a burden. No one had expected that the Elder King¡¯s breakthrough would come so quickly. Furthermore, it was accompanied by a huge heavenly tribulation which even they would be affected. If they were not careful, they might even be injured. However, there was no other way now. The Elder King¡¯s breakthrough had already begun. Before long, he would probably have a battle with this heavenly tribulation. Then, Qin Chen crazily charged forward. Even though he looked incomparably inconspicuous under the terrifying heavenly tribulation, he still had to move forward. He had to face these things himself. The power of the innate sword embryo in his hand had increased once again. It could be said that it had already exceeded the limits of the sword. Only Qin Chen could use it like this. This was because his tacit understanding with the innate sword embryo had reached its peak. He once again charged forward, using his peerless sword technique as if he was going mad. He was bleeding as his Dao was evolving. Everything had been pushed to the limit. However, this was not enough. This heavenly tribulation had no intention of letting Qin Chen live. If this continued, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he would die due to this heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen smiled again. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s still not enough?¡± Even if he used all his strength, it was still not enough. This heavenly tribulation was like a terrifying ancient murderer. As long as it opened its mouth, all living beings would be devoured. And now, Qin Chen had already made his choice, and that was to resist until the end. Even if he had to give up everything, he was willing. He couldn¡¯t just fall like this. Thinking of this, he moved once again. Facing the overwhelming heavenly tribulation, Qin Chen was instantly drowned. He could no longer be seen. However, at this moment, someone called out Qin Chen¡¯s name. This voice was extremely ethereal. It seemed to be coming from somewhere far away. The current him did not know where the voice came from. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. He didn¡¯t even know if he was dead or not. In this vast heavenly tribulation, nothing appeared. But now, everything seemed to have stopped. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. To be able to stop time¡­ What was going on? Before he noticed, his injuries were slowly recovering. A terrifying figure appeared and Qin Chen didn¡¯t even notice his appearance. The figure pointed a finger at him, causing his body to be surrounded by many rays of light. These lights were obviously useful to him. The figure then disappeared, leaving behind a voice. ¡°The time is finally up.¡± The other party¡¯s voice sounded so old it was as if it was about to decay. Still, it rang out. This caused Qin Chen to be incomparably shocked. Then, he smiled. This terrifying heavenly tribulation actually took the initiative to separate from the light on his body. Even Qin Chen himself didn¡¯t know what was going on. But now, he had the initiative. The big scorpion and the others started to worry. ¡°Oh no, Elder King, could it be, could it be ¡­¡± Holy Maiden Mu Xue lowered her head and glared at him, ¡°Shut your jinx!¡± But now, Qin Chen had already disappeared from their eyes. The heavenly tribulation that covered the sky and earth was descending. If it descended completely, it was very likely that they would be affected. That being said, the most important thing was that they did not know where Qin Chen was. Just like what the big scorpion said, Qin Chen had disappeared. Where he had gone, they had no idea. At that instant, Qin Chen¡¯s figure had disappeared from their sight as if he had evaporated in this terrifying heavenly tribulation. Such a terrifying scene naturally made everyone go crazy. They did not know why, but now, they felt a terrifying fluctuation. ¡°This¡­ This is! Elder King!¡± Qin Chen appeared once again. However, this time, he was emitting a terrifying light. The boundless heavenly tribulation was directly blocked by Qin Chen. It was as if the heavenly tribulations had been frozen and could not fall anymore. This terrifying scene naturally made them incomparably shocked. Even though the flame-wing beast had already broken through to the God Venerable realm, it still couldn¡¯t control the terrifying heavenly tribulation. Qin Chen smiled again. ¡°What is going on?¡± He had no way of knowing either, but the heavenly tribulation between heaven and earth was now under his control. It was all thanks to the light on Qin Chen¡¯s body. This mysterious light made him so powerful. Thinking of this, Qin Chen dispelled the terrifying heavenly tribulation straight away. With a wave of his hand, the terrifying heavenly tribulation instantly dissipated, disappearing without a trace. The dark clouds above the sky rumbled. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was roaring. No one had ever thought that Qin Chen would have such a method that could even interfere with the will of the Heavenly Dao. Following that, Qin Chen charged toward the sky with the mysterious light radiating from his body. At this point, the dark clouds above the sky had yet to dissipate. He wanted to ¡°help¡± the Heavenly Dao, so he might as well just disperse those clouds. Everyone watched as Qin Chen charged toward the sky. Then, as if he had popped a bubble, the dark clouds silently dispersed. After that, Qin Chen walked over step by step and destroyed the tribulation clouds that filled the sky. This was his current strength. Qin Chen could sense that the mysterious light that was on his body was extremely powerful. At this moment, he seemed to possess a power that surpassed his own. However, the terrifying figure that gave him this brilliance only left behind a sentence and disappeared, as if he had never appeared. Only the light on Qin Chen¡¯s body could prove that the other party had indeed appeared. What did the other party mean when he said that time was finally up? Qin Chen frowned slightly. Chapter 618 - 618 Meeting the Black Stone Golem Again 618 Meeting the Black Stone Golem Again At this moment, Qin Chen felt that something was wrong. A terrifying fluctuation was approaching them crazily, seemingly targeting him. If it got close to Qin Chen, he would probably die. Still, Qin Chen smiled. After all, he now had a mysterious light on him. Even the terrifying heavenly tribulation might not be able to resist the mysterious light. ¡°Come then.¡± Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in the distance and approached at an extreme speed. Qin Chen didn¡¯t notice that the black dot was so fast that it was simply inconceivable. It actually arrived in front of him silently. Qin Chen had just broken through to level 4 of the God Emperor realm, but now such a terrifying black dot had actually appeared. It looked extremely terrifying. Only then did he realize that it was the black stone golem. The black stone golem that Qin Chen had almost killed before had now appeared in front of him again in an extremely mighty stance. Moreover, it was now extremely powerful. The black stone golem looked at Qin Chen without saying anything. Its eyes were filled with the flames of revenge. It could sense Qin Chen¡¯s fluctuations. If it wasn¡¯t for its master who helped it to raise its strength to its current realm, it was very likely that it would never have the chance to take revenge in this lifetime. Since Qin Chen was here, the black stone golem would not show any mercy. It had never thought that the other party would advance to the God Emperor realm. However, it had already broken through to the God Venerable realm. Even in the entire nine Heavens and ten lands, he was invincible. At this point, few experts could be stronger than the black stone golem, and now it wanted to kill Qin Chen. When the flame-wing beast and the true dragon saw this, they hurriedly tore through the void and flew over. After all, they knew that Qin Chen¡¯s strength was definitely not comparable to the current black stone golem. ¡°Damn it, how can this black stone golem be so terrifying?¡± Even the true dragon and the flame-wing beast found it inexplicable that the black stone golem had improved so much in such a short period. One had to know that Qin Chen had paid a great price to break through to his current realm. Along the way, he had seized countless great fortunes and opportunities. Otherwise, how could he have broken through to the God Emperor realm so quickly? Yet now, this black stone golem had already advanced to the God Venerable Realm and was almost comparable to them. It seemed that the black stone golem had gone through quite a lot, unbeknownst to them. It was simply unimaginable. However, since Qin Chen was here and had been locked onto by the black stone golem, the latter must have come prepared. It was impossible for it to have come rashly. The black stone golem let out a furious roar. It should be known that it was all thanks to Qin Chen that it had reached this stage. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen, how could it have reached its current realm? However, the pain that Qin Chen had inflicted on it had to be returned tenfold. Thinking of this, the black stone golem¡¯s entire body trembled. Its body emitted the aura of a God Venerable realm expert. After reaching the God Venerable realm, it had long controlled the rules. With that, it raised its hand and struck out a terrifying rule. This rule was black and seemed to carry the aura of death. It was extremely terrifying. In an instant, the void was destroyed layer by layer. Wherever it went, all life force was almost completely wiped out. It was enough to imagine how terrifying this rule was. At this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s expression also turned serious. He naturally knew how terrifying this black stone golem was. He hadn¡¯t expected the other party to improve so quickly in such a short time. Since the other party had come knocking on their door and Qin Chen knew about this, it was impossible for him to let this matter rest. Either he died, or the black stone golem died. Seeing the terrifying power of rules flying towards him, Qin Chen poured the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo, instantly causing the innate sword embryo to unleash its might. It slashed towards the terrifying rule of death in front of it. In an instant, the rule of death was cut into pieces, as if it had never appeared before. This was not something Qin Chen could do on his own. He had done it with the help of the light in his body. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to disperse the rule of death so easily. At this moment, the terrifying black stone golem had a shocked expression. Based on its God Venerable realm cultivation, killing Qin Chen should be a piece of cake. How could the other party block his attack? This was something it couldn¡¯t figure out. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon had already arrived around Qin Chen. Qin Chen looked at the terrifying black stone golem and laughed. Even if the other party had advanced to the God Venerable realm, so what? One had to know that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon beside him were both in the God Venerable realm. If it was two against one, the black stone golem would probably die. There was no panic in the black stone golem¡¯s eyes. When it saw the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, the two God Venerable realm experts, it was shocked, but still only smiled slightly. It was simply a fool¡¯s dream for the other party to want to defeat it with such mere combat strength. After all, it had a powerful master behind it, and it had the means left behind by its master. How could it be afraid of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon? It wanted to kill Qin Chen, and no one could change that. After today, the name Qin Chen would become a speck of dust in the long river of history. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon joined forces to attack the terrifying black stone golem. The terrifying attack instantly shook the void. The power of rules that was unleashed by the two experts was incomparably powerful, somewhat difficult for the black stone golem to block it alone. With that, it coughed out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, it was also injured. Upon seeing this, Qin Chen quickly added fuel to the fire and unleashed another sword attack with the innate sword embryo in his hand. Terrifying chaotic sword energy filled the void, and the mysterious light wrapped around it as it slashed toward the black stone golem. Then, Qin Chen took a step back. He was surprised to find that the mysterious light in his body was getting less as if it was dissipating. One must know that the mysterious light in his body was the foundation that he relied on. If he could grasp onto this terrifying power forever, it would increase his battle prowess without limit. But now, he could no longer release it because the mysterious light was about to be exhausted. Chapter 619 - 619 Taboo Coffin 619 Taboo Coffin At this moment, Qin Chen was trying to preserve the mysterious light in his body. He did not expect that no matter how hard he tried, the mysterious light in his body would continue to dissipate as if it did not exist in his body. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn¡¯t figure it out. That being said, at this moment, his chaotic sword energy, which carried a mysterious light, had already ruthlessly hacked into the black stone golem. The sound of metal clashing rang out as blood gushed out from the black stone golem¡¯s body. One had to know that the black stone golem¡¯s defense was extremely powerful. Since it had advanced to the God Venerable realm, almost no one could hurt it. It had never thought to be shocked by Qin Chen¡¯s sword attack. The sword had broken through its defense and ruthlessly slashed into its body. More chaotic sword energy seemed to want to continue grinding its flesh and blood. It was extremely terrifying. ¡°What¡¯s going on? How can a mere God Emperor have the power to injure me?¡± The black stone golem was furious, and it roared as it burst out with terrifying divine power. However, under the joint attack of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the terrifying black stone golem was forced to retreat step by step. If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen¡¯s breakthrough that had attracted a heaven and earth phenomenon, the black stone being wouldn¡¯t have been able to detect his fluctuations. But now, when it met Qin Chen again, it discovered that the latter¡¯s fortunes were also heaven-defying, to a point where it had to face the other party squarely. At this point, the black stone golem had nothing to hold back. With that, it struck out two more power of rules towards the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast quickly blocked the terrifying black stone golem¡¯s attack. Otherwise, they would be injured if the attack landed. This black stone golem¡¯s strength was somewhat abnormal. Although its realm was similar to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, its strength was indeed stronger than theirs. The black stone golem laughed loudly. It struck out with its palm and seemed to have slapped out something. It was a copper coffin! There were complicated patterns carved on the surface of the copper coffin, and it seemed to have a mysterious power. It was unknown what kind of terror was being suppressed in the coffin, but it released a heart-palpitating fluctuation, causing everyone¡¯s gazes to gather on it. ¡°Taboo Coffin! There is a terrifying taboo power sealed within. All of you will die here today!¡± The black stone golem laughed non-stop. It then unleashed the power of rules and activated the terrifying copper coffin. In an instant, the seal on the terrifying copper coffin seemed to have broken. Boundless black taboo power leaked out and engulfed everyone. The taboo power was extremely terrifying. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with it, they would at least end up dead or crippled. One could imagine how powerful this terrifying treasure was. Seeing that the taboo power from the copper coffin was coming at them, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately erupted with the power of rules that reached the heavens, wanting to intercept and block this attack. Unexpectedly, the power of rules rapidly melted like snow when it came into contact with the taboo power emitted by the copper coffin. Even Qin Chen had never thought of such a situation. He wondered what the origin of this strange copper coffin was. To think it possessed such a strange power! Now, the black stone golem had taken the initiative. The power released by the copper coffin it controlled instantly suppressed its enemies. In its opinion, everyone was far from being a match for this copper coffin. One had to know that it had only obtained this treasure from its master with great difficulty. Once it used the coffin, endless power would leak, and it might even attract the attention of some old monsters. As such, one could imagine how powerful this copper coffin was. However, in order to deal with Qin Chen and the others, it had no choice but to use it. As long as it could eliminate Qin Chen and the others, it would be an extremely worthwhile deal in the black stone golem¡¯s eyes. At this point, Qin Chen¡¯s cold sweat condensed and started dripping onto the ground. They knew that the terrifying copper coffin probably had an extraordinary origin and was extremely powerful. It was not easy to resist, but there was no other way now. They could only think of all means to stop it. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would die within the taboo power once they were completely engulfed by it. No one knew what kind of destructive power the taboo power had. Unfortunately, the mysterious light that Qin Chen relied on the most had already disappeared from his body. He did not know what to do now. As the black stone golem activated it, the taboo power released by the terrifying copper coffin increased, and it gradually seemed to have become corporeal. It turned into a tidal wave and rushed toward Qin Chen and the others. This wasn¡¯t a heavenly tribulation. Even a heavenly tribulation wouldn¡¯t be this terrifying. Qin Chen didn¡¯t even dare to imagine what kind of unbearable consequences would occur if he was surrounded by this terrifying taboo power. Thinking of this, he racked his brain for countermeasures. It was also at this moment that he suddenly remembered that he seemed to still have the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. The Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace could devour all those attacks and counterattack them. Could he also try to store the taboo power in the furnace? Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. This was also the only solution he could think of. If he was still unable to resist this terrifying taboo power with this, it was very likely that they would be wiped out here and die at the hands of the black stone golem. With that, Qin Chen took out the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace from his storage ring and instantly poured his divine power into it. Facing the surging taboo power, he used the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace to absorb it all. It was at this moment that the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace started trembling violently. It seemed that the terrifying taboo power was also extremely powerful. Otherwise, the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace wouldn¡¯t have such a situation. One must know that the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace was no ordinary treasure. It was a magic item refined by a quasi-emperor-realm expert. Qin Chen felt the trembling of the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. He was extremely nervous, not knowing if the furnace could withstand the terrifying taboo power. If the answer was no, he had no other way either. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to inject the divine power within his body into the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace to maintain its circulation to the maximum. Chapter 620 - 620 The Copper Coffins Anomaly 620 The Copper Coffin¡¯s Anomaly At this moment, accompanied by a cracking sound, Qin Chen discovered that cracks had actually appeared on the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace! He couldn¡¯t believe it. This was a magic item made by a quasi-emperor. How could it be broken? But fortunately, only cracks appeared on the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace. It wasn¡¯t directly destroyed. It seemed to have withstood the taboo power emitted by the mysterious copper coffin. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Now, he had already resisted the taboo power released by the terrifying copper coffin, which meant that the black stone golem¡¯s plan had failed again. The black stone golem was extremely shocked. It found it inexplicable that the taboo power released by the mysterious copper coffin could be blocked by Qin Chen so easily. Logically speaking, this was something that could kill peerless experts. Even if its activation of the terrifying copper coffin was very difficult. Yet now, Qin Chen was actually able to block the taboo power from the coffin. Clearly, the furnace in his hand was no ordinary object. The terrifying black stone golem was incredulous. ¡°This¡­ How is this possible? Suppress them!¡± The black stone golem roared angrily. It then released more divine power from its body as if it wanted to fully activate the terrifying copper coffin. As long as it could do so, even if Qin Chen had the furnace, he would not be able to resist the terrifying flames that burst out from the eyes of the black stone golem. The black stone golem exerted its strength to the limit, but at this moment, the copper coffin began to tremble uncontrollably as if the existence suppressed within wanted to come out. Even the master of the black stone golem did not dare to completely activate the copper coffin. After all, if the existence suppressed within escaped, it might bring about a terrifying disaster. One could imagine how powerful the existence suppressed in this terrifying copper coffin was. If that existence were to use its full strength, perhaps Qin Chen and the others would have no chance of winning. However, Qin Chen seized this opportunity. He released all the taboo power within the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace, blasting it toward the mysterious copper coffin. ¡°No!¡± The black stone golem was about to go crazy as it saw Qin Chen use the terrifying taboo power released by the mysterious copper coffin to attack the copper coffin again. If something really happened to the copper coffin, the master of the black stone golem would not let it off. The black stone golem was really panicking now. It did not dare to imagine the consequences. What if something happened to the mysterious copper coffin in its hands? How should it report to its master? But at this moment, Qin Chen was incomparably mad. He couldn¡¯t care less about the origin of this mysterious coffin. Since it had already been completely activated by the terrifying black stone golem, the attack that erupted once again would probably be extremely powerful. Therefore, he had to strike first and gain the upper hand. He could not let the terrifying black stone golem seize the opportunity. Looking at the appearance of the black stone golem, Qin Chen felt an indescribable joy in his heart. However, just as the terrifying taboo power went toward the mysterious copper coffin, for some unknown reason, it seemed to have been completely absorbed by the coffin. There were no ripples as the power was completely absorbed. At this moment, ripples were produced with the mysterious copper coffin as the center. Even the void was affected, and the space became unstable. From time to time, dislocated spatial cracks appeared, making people extremely horrified. If one accidentally came into contact with those spatial cracks, one¡¯s body would probably be instantly torn apart. This was the power that erupted from the copper coffin, and even Qin Chen was shocked. ¡°Shit!¡± Qin Chen could tell that the situation had become even more terrifying. If he couldn¡¯t resist it, everyone would probably die. But now, it seemed that there was no longer any possibility of using the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace again. If it was forcefully activated, it was very likely that the Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace would be completely destroyed. Seeing the fluctuations of the mysterious copper coffin getting stronger, even the black stone golem was shocked. Could it be that it had made a huge mistake? Qin Chen immediately sent a voice transmission to the true dragon and the flame-wing beast to retreat. They could not continue to get any closer to the terrifying copper coffin. If the unknown power in it erupted, they might pay a heavy price. Thinking of this, he hurriedly led everyone to retreat, not daring to stop for even a single breath. Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and Yuji were also terrified. They could feel that the power was enough to destroy the world. They had never felt such terrifying power. If it was used on them, they would probably die instantly. Even if they had a hundred lives, it wouldn¡¯t be enough. Thinking of this, Qin Chen hurriedly took action and left with everyone. Otherwise, if something happened later, they might really die here. After all, the existence in that terrifying copper coffin seemed to be about to come out. Once it appeared, it might snatch away their lives. At this point, the terrifying copper coffin was about to collapse. The complicated patterns on the copper coffin were constantly flashing. One could imagine that it was highly probable the terrifying existence would break the coffin and appear in the world. Qin Chen led the group and wanted to leave. At this moment, the black stone golem had completely gone berserk. Even if it had to pay the price of destroying the coffin, it still wanted to make Qin Chen stay. It would only be at ease if the other party died. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± The terrifying copper coffin had already released a power that ordinary people could not imagine. It could even affect the surrounding space, causing the void to tremble as if this world was about to be destroyed. At this moment, Qin Chen realized that even if they wanted to escape now, it was already too late. The terrifying black stone golem had already caught up. It struck out with a terrifying power of rules that carried an aura of death. It wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others here, but it knew that it was unrealistic. However, as long as it could stall for time, it believed that under the anomaly of the terrifying copper coffin, Qin Chen and the others would definitely have no chance to escape. At that time, they would have no way out. As long as it could kill Qin Chen and the others, the black stone golem would be willing to pay any price. After all, it vowed to return the pain Qin Chen had inflicted on it a hundredfold. Chapter 621 - 621 Fight 621 Fight Looking at the black stone golem, Qin Chen was furious. If it wasn¡¯t for the other party¡¯s desperate attempt, they wouldn¡¯t have ended up in such a passive state. God knows what kind of changes would happen due to the terrifying copper coffin. If something major really happened, they might all be wiped out and die here. At that time, it would be too late for regrets. Meanwhile, the black stone golem was shouting like a maniac while charging toward everyone. Qin Chen gave the flame-wing beast and the true dragon a look. The two immediately understood. At this point, what were they running for? They might as well stay and fight. They should just go all out and attempt to kill this black stone golem. Following that, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon attacked the terrifying black stone golem, unleashing the terrifying power of rules that shook the void. Such terrifying power was simply ineffable. Everyone was terrified. Facing the unknown copper coffin with unknown power, they did not have much confidence. However, at this stage, they had no way out. Terrifying attacks instantly collided with each other. The black stone golem was relieved. As long as Qin Chen and the others were willing to stay, they would most likely die. The terrifying attacks instantly emitted a dazzling light. When the powers of rules collided, it was like an explosion. Such a terrifying sight shook everyone¡¯s hearts. The surrounding void became unstable, and even the space began to crack slightly. After that, Qin Chen rushed towards the terrifying black stone golem. The innate sword embryo instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed out with a sword light that carried the chaotic sword energy. Even though the sword light of the chaotic sword energy wasn¡¯t that powerful, it could still give the terrifying black stone golem some pressure. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast also joined forces to unleash terrifying powers of rules. Although they were not as strong as the black stone golem, their combined attack could not be underestimated. With a loud bang, the black stone golem was sent flying. Many wounds appeared on its body and it spat out blood. However, it wasn¡¯t too surprised. Its most terrifying treasure, the copper coffin, had already mutated. Otherwise, how could it not even withstand the attacks of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast? Qin Chen looked at the terrifying coffin. It seemed to have calmed down, but this was obviously not a good omen. The patterns on the copper coffin had faded quite a bit, and it seemed that the power of suppression on it had been worn down quite a bit. In this case, the terrifying existence in the copper coffin would very likely soon escape. Since the terrifying existence had been suppressed in the copper coffin for so long and had been turned into a weapon, how could it not have any resentment? As long as it managed to escape, it was very likely that no one would have any chance of escape. This was what they were most worried about. And now, the terrifying copper coffin had stopped trembling. Instead, it turned into a stream of light and crashed into the black stone golem at an extreme speed. The black stone golem did not know why the coffin would crash into it. It simply could not believe it. The copper coffin seemed to have its own will. It no longer listened to the black stone golem¡¯s command, and the latter was unable to control it. Even if the black stone golem refined the copper coffin, it no longer had the ability to control it. Seeing the terrifying copper coffin crashing towards it, the black stone golem was already panicking. It can¡¯t possibly be that it would be killed by the coffin, right? If that happened, who could it complain to? Qin Chen couldn¡¯t care less about that. Now that the black stone golem was being targeted by the copper coffin, he would stop and see if the copper coffin could kill the black stone golem somehow. If that really did happen, then the black stone golem would be like shooting itself in the foot. All they had to do was wait quietly for the results. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Now, the terrifying copper coffin was dashing around in the void. It was so fast that it was like a ray of light, ruthlessly colliding into the black stone golem¡¯s body! In an instant, the chest of the black stone golem caved in. Blood spurted out like a fountain. It seemed that it had suffered quite a serious injury. ¡°No!¡± The black stone golem was smashed into the ground by the terrifying coffin, creating a huge crater. It could feel its power flowing into the copper coffin. To think the copper coffin could absorb its strength! This was simply unacceptable to the black stone golem. If this continued, it was very likely that its realm would fall. This was the first time it had encountered such a violent method of absorbing energy. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was shaken. He could also see that the black stone golem was currently facing a great disaster. However, the other party had brought this disaster upon itself. When he thought of this, he did not feel much pity in his heart. Instead, he looked at the copper coffin with even more fear. God knows if there were any other problems with the copper coffin. At this moment, no one knew what to do. They He could only watch as the black stone golem¡¯s power was being sucked away. After some time, the black stone golem seemed to have died. It lay in the huge pit and no longer moved. The copper coffin also flew far away and arrived above Qin Chen and the others. Looking at the black stone golem that was limp as if it was dead, fear bubbled in everyone¡¯s hearts when they faced the copper coffin. After all, that thing was too terrifying. Even if they worked together, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to suppress the copper coffin. At this moment, the black stone golem was not dead. It was just relatively weak. The terrifying copper coffin had taken away an unknown amount of power from its body. It could clearly feel that its realm was no longer stable and was at risk of falling at any time. However, there was nothing it could do. After all, the terrifying copper coffin was too powerful. The stone golem did not even have the time to resist before the power in its body was sucked away. It could feel that the existence in the mysterious copper coffin wanted to absorb energy, seemingly wanting to break out of the coffin at a certain moment. However, the black stone golem was already silently calculating. It believed that Qin Chen and the others wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from the mysterious copper coffin. Chapter 622 - 622 Blood Seeping from the Copper Coffin 622 Blood Seeping from the Copper Coffin The black stone golem couldn¡¯t fight against the mysterious power of the coffin. Even it was suppressed. One could imagine how powerful this terrifying mysterious copper coffin was. No matter how strong Qin Chen was, he couldn¡¯t possibly be stronger than the other party. As such, presumably, Qin Chen and the others would also be drained of their strength. At that time, it might be the best time for the stone golem to make a move. Thinking of this, the black stone golem silently began to recover its strength, waiting for an opportunity to appear. As long as it waited until that time, it could directly attack and kill Qin Chen and the others. Then, it would escape. As for what happened to the mysterious coffin, it had nothing to do with it. The black stone golem quietly swallowed all the healing pills it had. However, Qin Chen and the others no longer paid attention to the black stone golem. It was no longer a threat to them. The most important thing now was that terrifying copper coffin. No one knew if there would be any other changes in that terrifying copper coffin. However, when they thought about how the black stone golem had ended up, Qin Chen and the others felt their hearts racing. Thinking of this, Qin Chen prepared to slip away. However, it was obvious that they could not leave so easily. That was because the mysterious coffin seemed to have a will. The aura it emitted had already locked onto Qin Chen and the others. Even the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, both God Venerable realm experts, were targeted. It was enough to imagine how terrifying this terrifying copper coffin was. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast had been locked onto by an opportunity. They felt as if they were connected by some invisible chain. If the terrifying copper coffin were to unleash its power, the two would definitely be the first to suffer. Although they had already advanced to the God Venerable realm, facing the terrifying copper coffin, they had no way to resist at all. After all, even someone as powerful as the black stone golem had already fallen to such a state. One could imagine that even if they joined forces, they would probably still be suppressed by this mysterious copper coffin. Thinking of this, fear appeared in the hearts of Qin Chen and the others. At this moment, another anomaly seemed to have happened to the terrifying copper coffin that was above their heads. A rumbling sound erupted from the heavens as if thunder had descended. Apprehension arouse in their hearts. God knows what changes had happened to the copper coffin at this moment. However, there was nothing they could do. This terrifying copper coffin was too powerful. Even if they used all their strength, they could not stop it at all. Many thoughts appeared in everyone¡¯s minds. The only thing they could do now was to try their best in resisting the terrifying copper coffin. At this moment, many strange phenomena appeared on the terrifying copper coffin. The taboo power released from it was very terrifying, even purer than the taboo power they had faced before. It had clearly reached an extreme. At this moment, it was whistling toward Qin Chen and the others. It turned into a cage, wanting to imprison them within. However, how could Qin Chen and the others allow themselves to die just like that? They immediately unleashed their divine power and attacked the terrifying cage. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon also unleashed their powers of rules. Although they could not do anything to the mysterious copper coffin, it couldn¡¯t be that they couldn¡¯t do anything to the taboo power, right? After all, they were God Venerable Realm experts. With such powerful cultivation, they would¡¯ve been famous in ancient times. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others saw the taboo power emitted by the terrifying copper coffin coming toward them. Fortunately, they had dispersed the taboo power and sent it back. At this point, everyone¡¯s hearts felt heavy. After all, the mysterious copper coffin was too terrifying. Even if they used all their strength, they could only resist the taboo power that it emitted. If another terrifying fluctuation erupted, they would not be able to stop it at all. Instead, they might lose their lives. After all, the mysterious copper coffin had not personally made a move to suppress them yet. The black stone golem was also bewildered. It could feel that the existence in the mysterious copper coffin seemed to be able to break the seal at any time. The expert who could suppress this terrifying existence in the mysterious copper coffin was no longer around. If the terrifying existence came out, it would likely trigger a bloody storm. After all, even it knew that the existence in the mysterious copper coffin was not to be trifled with. It could cause quite many casualties. At this moment, the terrifying mysterious copper coffin was trembling incessantly! Still, there was no chance for them to escape now. Blood was seeping out of the black stone golem¡¯s body. The fluctuations that erupted from the mysterious copper coffin had caused its wounds to split open again. One could imagine how terrifying the existence in the mysterious copper coffin was! Qin Chen then took out his innate sword embryo and slashed out with his sword, trying to resist the terrifying pressure. Unfortunately, the pressure had already reached an irresistible level. Instead, Qin Chen was sent flying. He was instantly smashed to the ground by this terrifying fluctuation. At this moment, everyone could no longer withstand this terrifying pressure and were struck to the ground one after another. This was already the best outcome. After all, even if they joined forces, they would not have such terrifying strength. Qin Chen looked into the distance. He could see that the terrifying copper coffin was oozing incomparably fresh blood. The blood was very scarlet but also very evil, invoking fear in the depths of people¡¯s hearts. No one knew what was inside the mysterious copper coffin. However, it had now been released by the black stone golem. If the existence was really released at this moment, they did not even dare to imagine what the outcome would be. At this moment, Qin Chen could feel remnant fluctuations of powerful divinity coming from behind him. ¡°This is¡­!¡± He couldn¡¯t help but feel pleasantly surprised! He did not expect to be able to sense powerful divinity remnant waves here. This meant that if he could find where the terrifying divinity remnant fluctuation was, he would be able to use the system to check in, thus obtaining some treasures which might help them survive this crisis. Chapter 623 - 623 Theres Always a Way Out! 623 There¡¯s Always a Way Out! A terrifying aura was spreading. At this moment, the mysterious copper coffin was about to break apart. It emitted extremely shocking fluctuations, so much so that it was simply unbearable. Seeing things turn out this way, Qin Chen sighed. However, they couldn¡¯t continue like this. If this continued, the copper coffin would break open at any time, and they would die at any time. That was why Qin Chen was so excited when he sensed the terrifying fluctuations of the remnant divinity. To him, this was the possibility of survival. This was his only hope now. ¡°Send me there!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s body was currently suppressed by the powerful pressure. He couldn¡¯t use the Moving Secret Technique anymore. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to ask the flame-wing beast and the true dragon to resist the terrifying pressure so that he could move over. Otherwise, he could only stay where he was. Thinking of this, Qin Chen told the flame-wing beast and the true dragon what he needed to do. With that, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon made their moves at the same time, releasing terrifying fluctuations to resist the powerful pressure and allowing Qin Chen to escape. Otherwise, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have been able to leave. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s figure left as if he had disappeared. He gave it his all. To have a chance to survive, he unleashed his strength to the limit. Otherwise, he would not have a second chance to leave. In the blink of an eye, he used the Moving Secret Technique and tore through the void, passing straight through it. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t let himself die like this. Even if it was just for the slightest chance of survival, he would do his best. With that, everyone saw Qin Chen disappear. At this moment, Qin Chen sensed the powerful divinity remnant¡¯s undulations and searched for it. Only by finding it could he increase his strength and survive under the power of the copper coffin. Then, Qin Chen appeared not far away. It was precisely here that he felt the powerful remnants of divinity. The reason why there were powerful divinity remnants here was probably related to the terrifying copper coffin. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to find it. It was most likely that the originally powerful divinity left here had been forced out by the power of the terrifying copper coffin. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened. Qin Chen could see a stone wall in front of him. On this stone wall was a palm print. The palm print was about to disappear. It was unknown which terrifying peerless expert had left it behind. There were still powerful divinity remnants on this palm print, which made Qin Chen lose his composure. There was always a way out! In Qin Chen¡¯s mind, he heard a voice. [Ding, dong!] [Powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] Even though he could only check in once, Qin Chen was still very excited. He had finally found a way to survive. Qin Chen immediately muttered the word ¡°check-in¡± in his heart! ¡°Check in!¡± Then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s ears. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in at the place where the Eternal Heavenly Emperor left his traces. You have received the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl!] [Heavy Heavenly God Pearl: A one-time consumable item. It is a terrifying treasure left behind by the Eternal Heavenly Emperor. However, only remnant images of him remain in the world. Legend has it that the Eternal Heavenly Emperor is an expert from another broken world. The treasures he left behind are extremely terrifying and may likely hurt the host.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. He was right. There was indeed a place where powerful divinity remained. Furthermore, he had successfully checked in and obtained a treasure. It was said that this treasure was actually left behind by the Eternal Heavenly Emperor. No matter how foolish Qin Chen was, he knew the meaning of the word ¡°heavenly emperor¡±. ¡°In that case, this terrifying Eternal Heavenly Emperor might already be at the level of an ancient great emperor.¡± If that was the case, the Heavy Heavenly Emperor Pearl would definitely be able to help him resist the terrifying existence in the copper coffin. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to suppress the existence in the mysterious copper coffin, or¡­ Kill it directly! In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, a pearl shimmering with light appeared. It was quite extraordinary. It was precisely because of this pearl that he had gained new confidence. If the being inside the coffin didn¡¯t have too much power after breaking the coffin, Qin Chen could give it a try. He wanted to see if the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl left behind by the terrifying Eternal Heavenly Emperor could kill that terrifying existence in one strike. As long as he could destroy that terrifying existence, Qin Chen and the others would naturally be safe. At that time, when the black stone golem no longer had any trump cards either, so they could also exterminate it in one go. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. At this rate, he might be able to do something that he had never done before. That terrifying black stone golem was not one to be trifled with either. Since Qin Chen had the chance, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let the other party go. Qin Chen didn¡¯t care about the stone golem¡¯s master¡¯s background. After so long, that terrifying existence had never once come to deal with them. Instead, the black stone golem had been giving them a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. In the end, there was really nothing to panic about. Now, it was the black stone golem who was panicking. The black stone golem was not completely dead. It had been recovering its strength as only when its strength was restored could it be at ease. ¡°I want to see Qin Chen and the others die with my own eyes!¡± It wondered why there was no movement from the terrifying copper coffin. If that terrifying copper coffin hadn¡¯t held back, even if the black stone golem could survive, its strength would still continue to weaken. At that point, even if Qin Chen didn¡¯t rely on the power of a treasure, he would still be able to easily slaughter the black stone golem. The black stone golem seemed to have sensed something. It immediately panicked and wanted to escape. However, it realized that he could not even tear the void. The surrounding space seemed to have been cut off. They had almost no power to resist the terrifying copper coffin. Chapter 624 - 624 Heavy Heavenly God Pearl 624 Heavy Heavenly God Pearl At this point, Qin Chen was prepared to head back. After all, he already had a way to survive. When he returned, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had already resisted quite a bit of pressure. Their bodies were beginning to weaken. At this moment, Qin Chen turned his gaze to the terrifying copper coffin. He still didn¡¯t know when the seal on the terrifying copper coffin would break. The complicated patterns on the copper coffin were already becoming blurry. It seemed that it would not take long for them to completely wear away. At that time, the thing suppressed in the copper coffin would probably appear. Qin Chen held a pearl in his hand. It was the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl. As long as they had this pearl, the chances of Qin Chen and the others surviving would increase tremendously. However, he thought about the fact that if the pearl and the terrifying copper coffin were to clash explosively, it was likely that those who were closer would not be able to escape at all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen decided to strike first and destroy this terrifying copper coffin. Even if it couldn¡¯t be destroyed, it could at least make the existence in the copper coffin return to being sealed again, no longer able to escape. Since the original seal could no longer trap the existence in the copper coffin, Qin Chen decided to leave behind another seal to strengthen it. He wanted to make it so that the existence in the copper coffin could no longer escape. Regardless of all else, he had great confidence in the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl which was left behind by the Eternal Heavenly Emperor. After all, this was a treasure left behind by an ancient great emperor. Just like the innate sword embryo in his hand, they were both rare treasures and extremely precious. The power it contained was extremely powerful. As long as it could be used, Qin Chen believed that even the existence in the copper coffin might die under the power that erupted. Everyone could see that Qin Chen was holding a pearl that was emitting terrifying pressure. They immediately understood what he wanted to do. He wanted to get rid of this mysterious copper coffin completely. This way, they could guarantee survival. Thinking of this, everyone started worrying, wondering if Qin Chen would succeed or not. If he did not succeed, his life might be threatened. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Qin Chen. The big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, worried for Qin Chen, ¡°Elder King!¡± The rest prayed with their eyes closed. Now, whether they could survive or not depended on Qin Chen. Although they didn¡¯t know if he could do it, this was the only way for them to survive. If even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t do it, they would most likely die. Thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with worry. They were not willing to die like this. Therefore, they looked at Qin Chen, wanting to see if he could suppress the coffin. With that, Qin Chen made his move. His figure disappeared into the horizon. At this moment, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon knew that they had to help Qin Chen resist the terrifying pressure so that he could get close to that mysterious copper coffin. Immediately, the two unleashed their full strength, helping Qin Chen to resist the terrifying pressure. Qin Chen approached the terrifying copper coffin. He held the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl left behind by the Eternal Heavenly Emperor in his hand. Then, he activated his divine power to revive it and send it out! This was the only thing he could do now. Boom! Only by using this method and relying on the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl in his hand could he possibly achieve his target. Otherwise, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do it. In the blink of an eye, Qin Chen had already arrived in front of the mysterious copper coffin. He could feel the terrifying fluctuations emitted from the coffin. Qin Chen¡¯s heart thumped violently. He then activated the terrifying Heavy Heavenly God Pearl in his hand which was emitting boundless might and threw it out. In an instant, the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl and the mysterious copper coffin collided, resulting in a terrifying explosion. The incomparably terrifying explosion drowned Qin Chen. God knows if he was dead or alive. Qin Chen felt as if he had been severely injured. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body flashed with white light. This was a sign that the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor was automatically deducting the impact on Qin Chen. One could imagine how powerful the impact on Qin Chen was. His heart beat violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood as his aura weakened. Then, he fell heavily to the ground. Before Qin Chen could react, he had already lost consciousness. Even with the help of the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he was still severely injured and on the verge of fainting. On the other side, under the protection of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the others did not suffer too many injuries. Though, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were also heavily injured and bleeding profusely. However, they were still breathing and hadn¡¯t died. Being able to do this was already Qin Chen¡¯s limit. He looked at the terrifying copper coffin. It seemed to have become much more dilapidated, but it did not emit any more terrifying fluctuations. The taboo power that the mysterious copper coffin had emitted had now disappeared without a trace. It seemed that peace had returned. As for the black stone golem, who was already heavily injured and had not recovered much, it felt as if it was about to die at this moment. Its injuries were extremely tragic and its body was about to split into two. However, it was still seizing the moment to recover from its injuries. It wanted to struggle to tear the void and escape. After all, it knew that his strongest trump card, the mysterious copper coffin, was no more. It could not kill Qin Chen and the others now, Its plan had failed. Now, it had thrown the helve after the hatchet. If this continued, there was only one possible outcome, and that was that the black stone golem would die at the hands of Qin Chen and the others. After all, Qin Chen had paid such a heavy price to finally stop that terrifying copper coffin. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t let the black stone golem slip away. He wanted to send the black stone golem to the afterlife and make the other party disappear from this world completely. Chapter 625 - 625 The Figure in the Dark Clouds 625 The Figure in the Dark Clouds Seeing the current situation, the black stone golem¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. Qin Chen showed no mercy as he coughed out blood while walking shakily toward the black stone golem. At this moment, the black stone golem was about to reach its limit. Being surrounded by many experts, there was no room for it to escape. In that case, it would most likely die here, but that was not the most important thing now. The most important thing now was that it felt its master¡¯s aura approaching. Could it be that its master sensed that it was about to die? That was why the black stone golem was so terrified. After all, it had ruined the mysterious copper coffin that its master had given him. If its master found fault with it, it would really be doomed. At that time, it would be begging for death instead. If it fell into the hands of its master¡­ That was a fate worse than death. However, at this moment, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t notice the approaching aura at all. At this moment, Qin Chen had already arrived in front of the black stone golem. Then, Qin Chen swallowed a natural resource, gaining some strength after refining it. Following this, he took out his innate sword embryo and beheaded the terrifying black stone golem. ¡°No¡­ No! Ah!¡± In the black stone golem¡¯s terrified eyes, Qin Chen slashed down. It let out a miserable cry and its huge head flew out. The head fell to the ground. Soon after, Qin Chen saw a primordial spirit fly out of the black stone golem¡¯s body, wanting to escape. He naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of the black stone golem¡¯s primordial spirit. He couldn¡¯t let the other party leave to stage yet another comeback. As such, he moved immediately and grabbed the terrifying black stone golem¡¯s primordial spirit. With a squeeze of his hand, he crushed the primordial spirit. With this, the black stone golem was dead and would never appear in this world again. Even if a powerful peerless expert appeared, it was impossible to save the black stone golem. At this moment, Qin Chen felt a trace of unease. What was going on? Having reached his current realm, Qin Chen had long since had a sense of life and death between heaven and earth. He had extremely accurate premonitions. Since he could feel it now, it must be true that something was coming. However, where did this uneasiness come from? Qin Chen couldn¡¯t find the source. In the end, he looked at the mysterious copper coffin, but he didn¡¯t find anything. The dead black stone golem couldn¡¯t possibly give him such a feeling either. What was going on? Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with nervousness. At an unknown distance, there was a terrifying fluctuation. Unexpectedly, incomparably powerful dark clouds appeared. However, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t breaking through, nor was he transcending a heavenly tribulation. Where did these dark clouds come from? The big scorpion suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Look, there seems to be someone in the dark clouds.¡± Qin Chen was observing carefully. If a terrifying creature was in the dark clouds, everything would make sense. However, what kind of powerful existence could hide in the dark clouds? To think the other party could make them feel such a strong sense of unease. Qin Chen looked at the terrifying figure in the dark clouds and his heart suddenly jumped. The figure was extremely familiar. It was, unexpectedly, the face of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. What was going on? He should have been long gone from this world. How could there be someone who looked so similar to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? Furthermore, the aura he emitted was almost the same. Could this be something that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had left behind? Why was Qin Chen feeling such a strong sense of unease? Could it be that the figure who was an expert that resembled the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor wanted to harm him? Qin Chen had inherited the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s legacy and his body was the Chaotic Divine Body. The figure akin to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor might want to defeat him to obtain all that. Indeed, an expert in the dark clouds couldn¡¯t possibly be the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor himself. Therefore, there was only one possibility for the appearance of the figure in the dark clouds. It was to take the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s legacy from Qin Chen. One had to know that these things were all treasures that Qin Chen had obtained by checking in. He naturally wouldn¡¯t hand over the inheritance of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor to others just like that. With that, he abruptly made a move. After all, he couldn¡¯t possibly just sit and wait for death. Unfortunately, he had already used the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl to seriously injure the terrifying copper coffin. Otherwise, they would have been dead by now. No one could say for sure when the mysterious coffin would erupt with incomparably terrifying power. That was why Qin Chen had no choice but to use the Heavy Heavenly God Pearl. That was what Qin Chen thought. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to escape now. Even if he was at his peak, he would not have the chance to escape from the terrifying figure in the dark clouds. Moreover, they were now heavily injured, and almost all of them had no ability to move, nor were they left with much combat strength. Qin Chen looked at the terrifying figure in the dark clouds and smiled bitterly. He had never thought that he would die like this. He looked at the figure in the dark clouds who had the exact same face as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, and the other party was also looking at him, wondering what he wanted to do. Qin Chen slowly said, ¡°I can give you anything you want, including my body. However, the prerequisite is that you have to let them go, my friends. Otherwise, I can only destroy my body.¡± No one knew what the figure was thinking. Qin Chen didn¡¯t even realize that the flow of time around him had stopped. By the time he came to his senses, he realized that he could only move his mind. His body had been frozen. The terrifying figure laughed, ¡°Without you, wouldn¡¯t everything you have become mine?¡± This was undoubtedly a terrifying person. He looked at the black stone golem¡¯s corpse and seemed to sigh. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even this fellow would die in your hands. I really underestimated you.¡± In fact, he had long discovered that the mysterious copper coffin had acted up. Unfortunately, something seemed to have happened and it had been forcefully stopped. Chapter 626 - 626 A Glorious Life is But a Dream 626 A Glorious Life is But a Dream Qin Chen¡¯s aura became terrifying as he held the innate sword embryo in his hand and injected the divine power in his body into this extreme emperor weapon. He could feel that the terrifying existence within the dark clouds was giving him extremely great pressure. At this moment, facing the figure in the dark clouds, he had no strength to resist. ¡°What do you want?¡± The figure in the dark clouds had almost the same appearance as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. This was what shocked Qin Chen the most. If this had anything to do with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, the only possibility was reincarnation. Coincidentally, Qin Chen had almost everything that belonged to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious about who I am?¡± The figure in the dark clouds spoke unhurriedly. Qin Chen lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that no matter what he did now, there was no way for the matter to be settled peacefully. ¡°What is your relationship with the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor?¡± Logically speaking, the other party looked at the black stone golem with pity in his eyes. Perhaps he was the owner of the black stone golem. However, why did he look exactly like the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the other party¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t at the level of an ancient great emperor, Qin Chen would have thought that the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor had reappeared. ¡°You must be very puzzled as to why my appearance is the same as the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡¯s, right? Have you ever heard of the Great Dream of Life?¡± The Great Dream of Life? The figure in the dark clouds seemed to know that Qin Chen had seen the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor before. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have known about the latter¡¯s doubts. ¡°I used my incarnation to observe the Dao and established my Path in the mortal world. Chaos is nothingness. When I left back then, it was because there was nothing I could do. If one wants to truly transcend, it is not by reaching the level of ancient great emperors. Even ancient great emperors have never truly stepped out of the three realms. The true principle of nature governing the world is the path that the great emperors have been pursuing their entire life. I¡¯m willing to be the one to take the lead only to understand Dao! Not many in this world can do what I do. I¡¯ve been lonely on this path for a long time. Do you want to hear a secret?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart was already in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface. As expected, the figure in the dark clouds was related to the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. ¡°What secret?¡± With that, Qin Chen saw the figure in the dark clouds smile. It seemed that the latter had some secret to tell. For some reason, it made people¡¯s hearts tighten. ¡°You are also one of the incarnations of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. Your aura comes from the same origin as mine.¡± Hearing the words of the figure in the dark clouds simply made Qin Chen flustered. This sentence was like a heavy hammer smashing into his heart. He was the incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? How was this possible? What kind of joke was this? He was Qin Chen, and Qin Chen was him. ¡°Many great emperors who left tried to find a Great Path that could truly transcend, but they all failed. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s still persevering. If the opportunity to become a great emperor falls on you in this era, then when you become a great emperor, my Great Path will finally be completed! ¡± Qin Chen muttered to himself, ¡°Impossible! That¡¯s impossible¡­¡± He recalled every single detail about himself. He was the Elder King of the human race, a disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land, the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, and¡­ ¡°I know you won¡¯t believe me. However, you are Qin Chen, the incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. You can treat the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor as your previous life.¡± The Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was a supreme existence. He was undefeated in his entire life and his might swept across the land. Even the geniuses of the ancient era were suppressed by him alone. It could be said that even the name ¡°Chaotic Heavenly Emperor¡± still occupied an irreplaceable position in the long river of time. That was a figure that countless living beings respected and revered. An incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? He didn¡¯t believe it! Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with madness as he panted heavily. No matter what, he was unwilling to believe it! Why did the figure in the dark clouds say that? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll believe you? If you want to do something, just do it. There¡¯s no need to use these moves.¡± The incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor shook his head. He knew that Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t believe him. No one would believe such a huge thing. Qin Chen¡¯s memories were extremely clear. The scenes of the past appeared in front of his eyes. How could he be a stranger? If that really was the case, then wouldn¡¯t his system have come from the power of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? ¡°I will give you the opportunity to become a great emperor in this era so that you will recognize who you are.¡± Qin Chen watched as an incomparably terrifying fluctuation erupted from the heavens and earth. Just sensing this aura was enough to shock everyone. At this moment, the others were also stunned. They did not know what was going on. When this aura appeared, countless old farts and old monsters were extremely surprised. Greed arose in their hearts because the opportunity to become a great emperor that they had been pursuing had appeared! Countless experts appeared, tempted by the opportunity to become a great emperor. ¡°This is¡­¡± The opportunity to become a great emperor was right in front of Qin Chen. Although he couldn¡¯t see it, he knew that as long as he was willing, this opportunity would fall into his hands. To think this was the opportunity to become a great emperor that countless terrifying existences were fighting over! Qin Chen did not move. He knew that if he really grasped the opportunity to become a great emperor, it was very likely that he would become one with the real Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. If that happened, Qin Chen would probably disappear completely from the world. At that time, would he still be himself? Was he still Qin Chen? Or would he be the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor? Therefore, Qin Chen stopped. If this continued, he really did not know what to do. Soon, countless old farts and old monsters had already rushed over. ¡°If you don¡¯t make a move, none of your friends will be able to escape. Make your choice quickly.¡± Suddenly, Qin Chen came to his senses. At this moment, the terrifying old farts and old monsters were already here. They looked at Qin Chen with indescribable emotions. ¡°Ah!¡± No matter how strong Qin Chen¡¯s heart was, he could no longer take it at this moment. Countless old monsters and old farts looked at the human cultivator. He had obtained the opportunity to become a great emperor in this era. Their eyes were filled with greed, but soon, their bodies dissipated. They died cleanly as if they had never appeared. The vast world seemed to have sensed the aura of a certain expert. ¡°A glorious life is but a dream!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were bright. He didn¡¯t want this illusory thing! One had to give up some things to get some other things. Besides, this wasn¡¯t something that belonged to him in the first place. He wasn¡¯t the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. With that, Qin Chen sneered and sent the opportunity to become a great emperor back into the dark clouds. The terrifying figure in the dark clouds was extremely shocked, ¡°You!¡± Chapter 627 - 627 Heavens Plan Cant Win Over Mans 627 Heaven¡¯s Plan Can¡¯t Win Over Man¡¯s One had to know that this was this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. But now, to think Qin Chen chose to give up and throw it away. The opportunity was something that countless peerless experts dreamed of. Its value had long become immeasurable. The figure in the dark clouds revealed a shocked expression. He had never expected this. Why did this human cultivator choose to give up? On the other side, many experts had long noticed that this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor had appeared! With that, countless figures appeared. Their auras were extremely terrifying. They were all supreme experts who had once dominated the world. In their eyes, there was only that sliver of opportunity to become a great emperor. According to their calculations, it shouldn¡¯t have appeared now. No one knew why the opportunity to become a great emperor would suddenly appear. They almost went crazy due to the temptation. ¡°Look!¡± ¡°The opportunity to become a great emperor is there!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Terrifying auras erupted, and the environment in the star field changed drastically. Who would be willing to let go of the opportunity that they had been waiting strenuously for? Countless experts chased after the opportunity. The figure in the dark clouds revealed anger. According to his expectations, this human cultivator would¡¯ve taken the opportunity to become a great emperor, and with that, his plot would¡¯ve become more than half successful, allowing him to almost revive his previous dead plan. But now, Qin Chen, the human cultivator, actually had the courage to give up! The opportunity to become a great emperor appeared in front of the figure in the dark clouds. ¡°You will regret this!¡± He said coldly. The situation had developed beyond his control. ¡°Regret?¡± Qin Chen smiled. He knew that the figure in the dark clouds would definitely not let him off. But now, the other party should worry about himself first. Countless experts had already appeared. Even from tens of thousands of miles away, one could feel the terrifying auras. The void became chaotic and space trembled. Those fellows were all old undying monsters. They had endured until today for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. Qin Chen no longer wanted to know the outcome of this matter. The most important thing now was to take everyone away from here. Otherwise, it would probably affect them. At that time, they would have no chance of surviving. Just the killing between these experts was not something they could get involved in. ¡°So many people.¡± Countless experts appeared crazily like a tide, heading toward the black-cloud-like figure. Without exception, the endless experts wanted to obtain this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. In their eyes, this was more important than anything else. No matter how much they had sacrificed, it was all to obtain the opportunity to become a great emperor. Without many words, they immediately started fighting. Those who were in the way were all enemies. They were fighting for the Great Path and the opportunity to become a great emperor. Becoming an ancient great emperor was an opportunity that countless people wanted. This was the only reason for them to have stayed here and used all kinds of secret techniques to survive until this era. So now, they had to fight for everything they wanted. A black sun appeared. An ancient divine sword emerged. An ethereal beast shadow surfaced and condensed as if it was real. Countless phenomena like this appeared as if they were free. They were all related to those peerless experts, the old undying monsters. Their appearance also indicated that there would be a round of bloodshed. It would be no less than a destructive calamity. Countless people would die, and those people were all extremely terrifying old undying monsters who had each deterred a part of history. But now, they were like ordinary people, killing without caring about their image. However, Qin Chen and the others were destined not to see this scene. They had already used the innate sword embryo to tear the void apart and escape. If they stayed any longer, even the innate sword embryo might not be able to tear the void apart. At that time, it would most likely be disastrous. Even some aftershock was enough to make survival impossible for them. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen would not let go of this opportunity. Now, that fellow who claimed to be the incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor was already too busy to take care of himself. After being targeted by so many old undying monsters, he had long lost the chance to deal with Qin Chen and the others. Whether or not the other party could survive was still another matter. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone and left without looking back. At this moment, the battle between those terrifying old undying monsters was like an ancient war. No one had expected that the opportunity to become a great emperor would suddenly appear without any warning. As a result, some old undying monsters were still on the way. God knows how they could clean up this mess. At this point, there was not much chance that the figure in the dark clouds could escape safely since he seemed to be trapped in the center. No matter what was said, it would be useless. ¡°Things seem to be a little difficult. Damn it!¡± The figure in the dark clouds was furious. To think that human cultivator had rejected such a huge opportunity. That being said, the figure still had a backup plan to escape. After all, this so-called opportunity to become a great emperor was just a counterfeit that he had created. Just because the ¡°opportunity¡± was tainted by the aura of an ancient great emperor, these undying old monsters were tricked to believe that the opportunity to become an emperor had truly appeared. The figure did have a way to escape. As long as he self-destructed his soul power now, he would naturally be able to leave. Many of those experts knew a thing or two about the Great Path of Karma. If his soul power fell into their hands, it would definitely cause a chain reaction that would make his main body pay a huge price. As such, looking at the peerless experts who were closing in on him, the figure in the dark clouds chose to self-destruct. With a loud bang, there was nothing left. As for those old undying monsters, they could entertain themselves as they wished, Even if they beat their brains out, it would still be beneficial to him. This time, not only did he lose his trusted aide, the black stone golem, but his Taboo Coffin might also be destroyed. The huge loss made the figure in the dark clouds feel pained. ¡°Heaven¡¯s plan can¡¯t win against man¡¯s plan. Tch!¡± After the figure said this, many old undying monsters discovered in shock that the other party had already self-destructed. Moreover, they could no longer feel the aura of the opportunity to become a great emperor! What was going on? Could it be that they had been played? But at the same time, many saw their old enemies. When enemies met, it would not end well. Some wise old undying monsters quickly used all their strength to retreat. Since there was no opportunity to become a great emperor, there was nothing that concerned them here. Why would they stay? Chapter 628 - 628 Cry Wolf 628 Cry Wolf ¡°It¡¯s fake?¡± ¡°I must eat his flesh, drink his blood, and swallow his soul!¡± Some of the old monsters who had come back to their senses were so angry that they were about to vomit blood. To think none of them had realized that the opportunity to become a great emperor which had just appeared was fake. Wasn¡¯t this crying wolf? To treat them like monkeys and play with them was simply audacious. It was a pity that fellow had already self-destructed and nothing was left of him. They did not even know who did it. However, among them, a celestial-like old man sneered. Although the other party had self-destructed and nothing was left of him, it didn¡¯t mean that no one could find the culprit. He was Celestial Elder Nanshan. He naturally had the ability to find the other party. In the meantime, no one noticed that a figure suddenly appeared beside Celestial Elder Nanshan. ¡°Shh¡­¡± Celestial Elder Nanshan¡¯s expression suddenly changed. When did such a guy suddenly appear beside him? He didn¡¯t even notice. ¡°Old man, if you don¡¯t want to die, you¡¯d better not act rashly.¡± If Qin Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the aura of this mysterious person. It was the same as the figure in the dark clouds! This time, it was Celestial Elder Nanshan¡¯s turn to panic, ¡°It¡¯s you! You didn¡¯t die?¡± Obviously, Celestial Elder Nanshan had recognized the fellow as well. The figure simply smiled and left. Right now, quite a number of old undying monsters were still fighting in the surroundings. When they saw their mortal enemies, they naturally wouldn¡¯t let them go so easily. Therefore, they wanted to get rid of the other party. Of course, some experts joined forces to attack their enemies. The scene was extremely chaotic. However, when it came to a real battle, it was not easy for people of their level to die. Even if they were faced with a dangerous situation, they could still escape. Still, some were heavily injured. Someone had already lost an arm or a leg. At this point, Qin Chen and the others had already fled to a planet. They looked around and saw that there seemed to be no danger here. Then, they began to recover from their injuries. After a few days, after they had recovered from their injuries, they left the planet. Currently, they still didn¡¯t know how that battle ended. Only when the storm completely calmed did someone receive the news. The outcome was made known. It was said that supreme experts had shed blood in the void and countless famous figures had fallen. The past of these old undying monsters had long been buried. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that they had already passed away. But now, they had appeared! However, they seemed to have been deceived. When Qin Chen and the others heard this, they laughed. Qin Chen had long suspected this. How could this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor appear in advance? If that figure in the dark clouds really had such great abilities, he would have long since become an ancient great emperor himself. Therefore, he was probably lying when he said that he was the incarnation of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. If Qin Chen had chosen to fall into the enemy¡¯s trap step by step, perhaps he would have become something unrecognizable at this point. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a lingering fear in his heart. The other party must have some thoughts about him. At this point, he had already decided to leave. This time, it was very likely that some old monsters would notice him. Some of the old undying monsters who had great cultivation even had the means to search for the source. At that time, there would definitely be people who would know of his existence. Thinking of this, Qin Chen was a little worried. After all, no matter what, it was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by those old monsters. Moreover, he had already offended many old undying monsters. If he were to be targeted by more, it would bring him a lot of danger. Once those people became interested in him, it was possible that he would see them appear in front of him in the next second. Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart became extremely desolate. As such, it was best for him to leave as soon as possible. If he did not leave quickly, it was very likely that the other party would keep their eyes on him and come over. When that time came, it would be bad. Everyone looked at Qin Chen, not knowing where they should go. Qin Chen¡¯s choice was to secretly travel far. The more remote the place, the better. They should try their best to avoid appearing in the eyes of the people. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Qin Chen, wondering where he was going to take them. No matter where they went now, they might be discovered and their whereabouts exposed. Qin Chen simply waved his hand at the crowd, then randomly chose a direction and left. Everyone followed closely behind him. Sure enough, just as Qin Chen had expected, not long after they left, a fluctuation appeared in the space. It seemed that a dark gaze was investigating this place. However, it was obvious that the other party did not discover anything. Not long after, it dissipated. Some old monsters had already noticed Qin Chen. They knew that he was very likely related to the fake opportunity to become a great emperor. Fortunately, the figure in the dark clouds was very powerful. Even though those old monsters had the ability to turn back time, they didn¡¯t discover too many secrets about Qin Chen. They didn¡¯t even know what he had said. However, it was clear that Qin Chen had already exposed too many problems. They couldn¡¯t find the figure in the dark clouds, but could they not find Qin Chen? Qin Chen wasn¡¯t too strong, so he could easily be crushed to death by a single finger of theirs. At this moment, Qin Chen was leading everyone away from this place. He couldn¡¯t possibly let those people catch up. Qin Chen was fully confident in his plan. As long as they could hide, the other party might not be able to discover them. The longer they could hide, the better. Qin Chen was aware that it would not be long before a great change occurred. The more troublesome things became, the more opportunities he had to fish in troubled waters. At this point, Qin Chen was nowhere to be found. ¡°This is¡­?¡± The figure of a beautiful celestial appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. Everyone could not believe it. This woman was so beautiful that no words could describe her. Her strength was obviously very powerful. At least, looking at her, Qin Chen still couldn¡¯t tell her cultivation. Chapter 629 - 629 Peerless Celestial 629 Peerless Celestial The fact that Qin Chen could not see the other party¡¯s realm clearly was enough to explain the problem. The other party was so powerful that it had far exceeded a realm he could see through. But why was the other party after him? Qin Chen couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter what. Could it be that the other party was also an old undying monster? Was this a joke? No matter how unlucky Qin Chen was, it should¡¯ve been impossible for the other party to come knocking on his door so quickly. But now, it seemed that this was reality. The stunning celestial was blocking their way right now. Thinking of this, Qin Chen had a bad premonition. If the other party did come to destroy him, then he would really be in trouble. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After all, any one of those old undying monsters could easily kill him. Therefore, Qin Chen felt extremely pressured as if a rock was weighing on his chest. ¡°Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?¡± Seeing that Qin Chen was still feigning puzzlement, the beautiful celestial simply smiled at him and said, ¡°You should have many secrets, but to me, they¡¯re nothing. You only need to nod or shake your head.¡± This stunning celestial no longer concealed her origins. She was the real deal, an undying old woman. The thought of such a beautiful woman being an undying old woman who had lived for countless years made Qin Chen and the others feel incredulous. They did not know what to do. After all, they couldn¡¯t possibly resist the other party now. With their combined strength, even if that peerless celestial stood there and let them attack her, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt her. As for why she appeared before Qin Chen, it was only by chance. Speaking of which, fate was a wonderful thing. The beautiful celestial had only been walking around without any other thoughts except wanting to see if she could find anything else. She didn¡¯t expect to meet Qin Chen directly. She was one of those powerful figures who had the ability to turn back time. Naturally, she knew that there was something wrong with Qin Chen. This matter was very likely related to him. As such, she stared at Qin Chen and asked coldly, ¡°Does that matter have anything to do with you?¡± Qin Chen naturally knew what the other party was asking. He could only nod. After all, although the other party did not seem to be someone who liked to kill, if the other party was unhappy and killed him, who would he reason with? Therefore, Qin Chen was extremely cooperative. ¡°Who is that person?¡± Qin Chen knew that the person the other party was talking about should be the figure in the dark clouds. Unfortunately, that figure had been full of nonsense and wanted to fool him. Even Qin Chen didn¡¯t know the other party¡¯s true identity. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the other party. After obtaining her permission, he spoke, ¡°I don¡¯t know who he is either. Either way, he found me first.¡± Before Qin Chen could explain further, the beautiful celestial started muttering to herself. While he was speaking, she had been looking at him. The eyes of the peerless celestial seemed to be suffused with a mysterious light. It was obvious that if Qin Chen lied to her, he would not be able to escape her discerning eyes. Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare to lie to her. ¡°Since that guy can set up this trap, it seems that it can only be those few¡­¡± It was obvious that the peerless celestial already had a candidate and a suspect in her heart. She knew that Qin Chen had accidentally gotten involved in this matter. Therefore, regardless of whether the latter appeared or not, the other party would still have created a fake opportunity to become a great emperor to attract them. But why was he doing this? This beautiful celestial seemed to have yet to come up with an answer. Therefore, the current Qin Chen could only wait for the other party to decide what she wanted to do to him. He did not dare to do anything now, afraid that if he angered the other party, it would lead to bad consequences. That price was something he could not afford. Qin Chen looked at her, but no one knew what she was thinking. Before Qin Chen and the others could react, the figure of the mysterious and beautiful celestial in front of them vanished. It seemed that she had long left this place. The figure of her that had appeared before them was but an afterimage. The opponent¡¯s strength was truly terrifying. If Qin Chen and the others dared to make any suspicious movements, they would die without a complete corpse. They heaved a sigh of relief. The heavy burden in their hearts had finally been lifted. It hadn¡¯t been easy for them to endure until the other party left. At this point, they were at a loss for what to do since they seemed to have been targeted by the other party. Qin Chen did not know if the other party had done anything to them when they left. After all, with their current realm, if the other party did anything to them, they would not be able to discover it at all. Currently, Qin Chen could only leave this place as soon as possible. Now that their whereabouts had been exposed, he could only tear the void and leave. They had never imagined that they would be discovered by the beautiful celestial. Therefore, they ran as far as they could now. They did not dare to stop and kept tearing space to cross the void. In the end, Qin Chen and the others even began consuming natural resources to recover the divine power they had consumed. It was enough to imagine how terrified they were. If that beautiful celestial came back, it was very likely that they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. The fact that the other party would return could only mean one thing. It was most likely that she had discovered something different about Qin Chen. She could possibly want to use him to find the figure in the dark clouds. As for whether he would end up dead or alive, the other party couldn¡¯t care less about that, which was why Qin Chen was extremely flustered. He felt a great pressure on his body, like a huge mountain pressing down on him. Run! Hurry up and run! This was the only thought in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. He absolutely did not want to fall into the hands of that stunning celestial. Since the other party could cultivate to such a realm, it showed that she was definitely not soft-hearted. It was very likely that she had killed countless people and her hands were already stained with immeasurable blood. In the eyes of the other party, his life was worth nothing at all. That was why Qin Chen wanted to escape as soon as possible. As long as he could run as far as he could and prevent himself from being caught by the other party, he would do anything. His face had already turned pale. Chapter 630 - 630 Shepherd Boy 630 Shepherd Boy At this moment, Qin Chen and the others realized that they seemed to have entered a very unstable space. This space did not seem to have a passageway. Instead, it pointed to a small world separated by a barrier. Qin Chen and the others easily passed through the barrier and entered the small world. It was as if this barrier did not have any defensive power at all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone to retreat, wanting to leave this place. However, it was only at that point did they realize that it seemed to already be too late. They could no longer get out. There seemed to be a mysterious force here that could suppress their cultivation to a certain level. Qin Chen and the others discovered that their legs seemed to have sunk into a quagmire. They were unable to move forward at all. They couldn¡¯t even retreat. The divine power in their bodies was being consumed crazily. No one could have imagined that this space would actually have such a strange power. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others all felt a fluctuation at the same time. It was as if some kind of living being was rapidly sneaking toward them. From the looks of it, it was very easy for such a space to nurture any extraordinary living beings. At that time, if any danger appeared, they might not even be able to react in time before being killed. There was even the danger of dying without a complete corpse. That was why Qin Chen was so agitated, wanting to leave as soon as possible. A divine light shone in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings, wanting to find the fluctuations that were approaching them stealthily. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find it. Instead, he could only feel that the fluctuation was getting closer and closer. This was really strange. It was simply unfathomable to Qin Chen. Fear appeared in all of his eyes. Although they couldn¡¯t see it, they could feel that a powerful existence seemed to be approaching them. Under such circumstances, it was only natural that they felt quite pressured. Finally, with a loud bang, they saw a terrifying huge figure appear. It was a thousand feet tall, like a huge mountain. It was a rhino-like fierce beast! It was simply impossible to use common sense to speculate how terrifying the power of this huge rhinoceros beast was! The muscles on its body were incomparably strong. It was obvious that it was a creature born here. Now, it was looking at Qin Chen and the others. They discovered that this huge rhino-like beast had yet to make a move against them because there was a human-like figure on its head. The human looked at Qin Chen and the others with indifference in his eyes. It seemed that he was not much weaker than them. Obviously, they had barged into the other party¡¯s territory. It was only natural for them to be viewed as enemies. Qin Chen and the others could only try to communicate with the other party. They did not know what kind of attitude the other party had toward them. The eyes that looked at Qin Chen were indifferent. The figure jumped down from the back of the rhinoceros and stood in front of them. He looked like a shepherd boy. The shepherd boy had a bamboo flute at his waist, and his eyes were exceptionally cold. It seemed that he didn¡¯t quite welcome them. The shepherd boy asked after a while, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°We have entered this place by mistake. Please forgive us,¡± Qin Chen knew that it wasn¡¯t a wise decision to fall out with the other party now. After all, they did not know the strength of the other party. If there were many experts here, they might die in the hands of those experts before they could leave this space. That was why Qin Chen was so wary. He wanted to find out some information about the other party, but it was obvious that the shepherd boy did not want to communicate too much with them. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case. You guys can get lost.¡± Qin Chen and the others cupped their hands in thanks. They knew that if they had a conflict with the other party here, it was very likely that they would be the ones at a disadvantage. Therefore, they simply ignored the other party¡¯s tone and wanted to leave. However, unexpectedly, sounds came from not far away. There were actually several figures rushing over. ¡°Let¡¯s go, or we¡¯ll be too late.¡± The shepherd boy was clearly surprised by the arrival of these figures. He didn¡¯t expect to alarm the others. Qin Chen and the others smiled bitterly. Even if they wanted to leave now, it seemed impossible. Their strength had already been suppressed. God knows what kind of strange power this place had, but they couldn¡¯t use their full strength. They couldn¡¯t leave this space at all. They could only watch helplessly as the figures flew toward them. There was nothing they could do. The shepherd boy¡¯s eyes were clearly filled with anxiety, but he also knew that Qin Chen and the others could no longer escape. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. He waved his hand and let the shepherd boy leave. In the end, the shepherd boy could only nod and leave. Seeing the shepherd boy riding the rhinoceros and leaving, Qin Chen and the others seemed to have realized that their situation had become somewhat dangerous. After all, they didn¡¯t know what kind of attitude this group had toward them, or whether they would kill them. ¡°Who are you? Why are you here?¡± The middle-aged man looked at Qin Chen and the others and asked. He then added, ¡°Don¡¯t try anything funny. If you do, you¡¯ll die a horrible death.¡± Qin Chen told them about the matter of them entering this place by mistake, but the doubt in the other party¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t diminish at all. The few figures behind the middle-aged man also had hostile expressions. They seemed to not trust Qin Chen and the others and wanted to kill them. Qin Chen and the others estimated their strength. They had not even retained half of their original peak strength. In other words, if they were to fight, they would not be a match for the other party at all. A few figures behind the middle-aged man immediately burst out with terrifying power as they walked toward Qin Chen and the others. They wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others but were stopped by a shout. ¡°Let them mine. That place has been very strange recently. These outsiders have some value and can be used.¡± Chapter 631 - 631 Heaven Demon Pit 631 Heaven Demon Pit Qin Chen and the others seemed to have survived. That terrifying expert brought them away and escorted them to a city thousands of miles away. There were many humans there, as well as many enslaved fierce beasts. Qin Chen and the others increasingly felt that something was wrong because the strength of these living beings here was a little too strong. Most of them were actually on par with them! It had simply exceeded the scope of their expectations. One had to know that having cultivated till now, Qin Chen and the others had already surpassed countless people. Currently, they had been sent to a certain place. From what the middle-aged man said, it seemed that he was going to send them to a certain place to mine. They had never thought that they would be enslaved to mine one day. However, their strength had yet to recover and was still suppressed. They could only try their best to preserve their strength by obeying first and mining. The big scorpion had been displeased along the way. If they were in the outside world, these guys would have died long ago. This was because these guys were very unfriendly to the demon, the big scorpion, along the way. It seemed that they wanted to use him as a mount. This made the big scorpion even angrier, but he could not resist. Before the other party did anything that threatened his life, he would definitely not make a move. After all, if he resisted, he might lose his life. He knew that he had no choice but to lower his head since he was in the other party¡¯s territory. Moreover, this was the enemy¡¯s base camp. ¡°There seems to be something wrong here. They seem like survivors from the ancient era,¡± The flame-wing beast spoke with a wary expression. ¡°Survivors from the ancient era?¡± Qin Chen had never heard of this before. In his opinion, these people were just some humans hiding here. It was only because they had adapted to the environment that they were slightly stronger. As for why their cultivation could be on par with Qin Chen and the others, it was very likely that they had encountered some incredible opportunities in this spatial zone. The natural divine items had resulted in their cultivations. ¡°These survivors of the ancient era might very well be the descendants of an ancient great emperor who once hid here. After the ancient emperor left, they were perhaps chased by some enemies and had no choice but to hide. As such, it¡¯s possible that these guys are survivors of the ancient era.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. To think these fellows were the descendants of an ancient great emperor. No matter how he looked at it, they didn¡¯t seem like it. But now, he didn¡¯t have the leisure to think about something else. They had already been escorted to a place where no one was around. There were many corpses here. They looked like they had just died, but their bodies had already festered. Black smoke was flowing out of the wounds on the corpses. There was a huge crater in front of Qin Chen and the others, and from time to time, faint screams could be heard from the deep pit. Under the gaze of Qin Chen and the others, a hunchbacked old man with a cloudy gaze walked up with a huge crystal on his back. He didn¡¯t dare to escape or do anything else because countless experts were around him, firmly trapping him. As long as he made a move, he would be killed immediately. The crystal that the old man carried was black. Within the black stone was a chaotic gas that Qin Chen could not see through. It seemed to be wrapped around something. ¡°See, that¡¯s the things you have to mine. It¡¯s called the nether stone. And this is the Heaven Demon Pit. Don¡¯t think about running away, because if you do, I can guarantee you that in the next second, none of you will be left alive.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others were angry, but they didn¡¯t dare to show it. They could only remain silent. Seeing their current state, the expert who brought them here nodded and continued, ¡°Let me give you a piece of advice. Be careful of the appearance of monsters. Beneath the Heaven Demon Pit, there is a terrifying monster. Many people have already died because of it. Still, judging from your strength, it¡¯s probably difficult for you to survive for even ten days.¡± In the eyes of the expert, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t seem to be too powerful, making them unworthy of his attention. As long as they entered the Heaven Demon Pit, they would likely be ambushed and killed by those monsters. It was not that these people had not sent experts to encircle and suppress those monsters, but unfortunately, those monsters were very cunning. In the end, they hadn¡¯t killed a single monster. Many experts died instead. That was why they sent people with great sins to mine. When Qin Chen and the others saw this scene, they didn¡¯t know what to say. They had already carefully observed these corpses. The remaining aura on these corpses was extremely terrifying. It seemed that they were in trouble. However, there was nothing they could do. In the eyes of these experts, they had no other value. They could only be sent to mine. Outsiders like Qin Chen and the others had all been sent here, and those outsiders had long died. Qin Chen and the others realized that things were getting more and more complicated. If they entered the Heaven Demon Pit, they might really lose their lives. After all, this terrifying aura could not be faked. Still, under the watchful eyes of the experts, they had no choice but to enter the Heaven Demon Pit. They were clueless as to know why the Heaven Demon Pit was formed. However, they could sense that the nether stone seemed to be highly valuable to these humans. Following this, Qin Chen and the others entered the Heaven Demon Pit. Feeling the aura in the Heaven Demon Pit, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but frown. What they saw in the Heaven Demon Pit were piles of bones. Who knew how many humans had died? With so many humans dead, it was obvious that this place was not safe at all. Qin Chen and the others had just entered the Heaven Demon Pit when they felt a formless mist enter their bodies. Even if they weren¡¯t killed by the monsters, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to live for long. Clearly, this place specialized in harvesting lives. If they didn¡¯t have any ability, they might really die here. At this moment, the voice of the expert from earlier sounded from above the Heaven Demon Pit. ¡°You must remember this. If the amount of Heaven Demon Stones that you hand over is not even ten catties per month, you will be directly suppressed below. If you dare to appear in front of us then, death will be your only end.¡± Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: Ancient Dragon Chapter 632: Ancient Dragon Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen had a headache. They had been inexplicably captured, brought here, and even treated as coolies. Moreover, a mysterious aura in the Heaven Demon Pit was slowly invading their bodies. It could be said that if they stayed down there for a long time, they would eventually be unable to hold on and die. If they wanted to return to the surface, they could ¨C only by paying ten catties of nether stones a month. The nether stone was quite mysterious. Not only Qin Chen, but the others had never seen such a thing before either. It was probably a unique treasure in this world. However, the price of mining nether stones was their lives. It was quite bloody. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s very difficult for anyone to survive here.¡± The big scorpion was filled with grief and indignation. In the outside world, he was an existence that could become an overlord. In this place, he was just an inconspicuous young man. At the thought of this, the big scorpion felt uncomfortable. ¡°Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings.¡± The reason why Qin Chen spoke up now was that he felt that there seemed to be some movement. They saw a figure slowly walking over to them. There were bronze patterns on the figure¡¯s body. In his hand was an iron sword that looked very difficult to deal with. He looked like a ruthless character. ¡°You must be new! Remember, this month, you have to pay me a catty of nether stones.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen and the others understood. This guy was probably the person who specialized in collecting nether stones in the mine. If Qin Chen and the others were at their peak state, they would¡¯ve been able to easily deal with this guy. However, their power was now greatly decreased, so they were simply not his match. ¡°If you don¡¯t hand over enough nether stones, you can inquire about the consequences if you dare to disobey my will in my, Gu Long¡¯s territory.¡± Then, Gu Long turned around and walked away with his iron sword as if there was nothing worth taking to heart about Qin Chen and the others. He had long heard that there would be outsiders coming recently. He did not expect to meet them. Since he had encountered them, it was easy. In his opinion, although Qin Chen and the others¡¯ auras weren¡¯t weak, it was very likely that they could not unleash their full strength. In this way, he had nothing to fear. He could easily take care of them alone. Once outsiders entered this world, a portion of their strength would be sealed. This was also the reason why Gu Long was so unrestrained. He had made a mistake in the past, which was why he was exiled here to mine for ten years as a punishment. Now that a few years had passed, he had long become an old fox. If one wanted to survive in this mine, one had to be powerful enough. Even if one could not dig up enough ores, one could rely on snatching other¡¯s nether stones to complete the mission. As the saying went, for one¡¯s benefit, one could just infringe on another¡¯s benefit. Why would he care about the life and death of others? He only cared if the other party could hand over enough nether stones. If the other party could not hand over the required amount, then the other party would very likely be severely injured by him. At that time, it would not be long before the other party died in the Heaven Demon Pit. The bottom of the Heaven Demon Pit was not a place for ordinary people to come to. Many had already lost their lives here. Gu Long was going to continue collecting other people¡¯s nether stones. ¡°That guy just now is not simple. He has already reached the God Venerable realm. Our strength is equal. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be difficult for us to pose a threat to him even if we work together.¡± The big scorpion clenched his fists and asked, ¡°Elder King, what should we do now? Should we kill him now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not rational to deal with him now. We might even suffer a loss.¡± To be able to have such boldness to oppress others below, it was very obvious that Gu Long had more than one person backing him. If they offended the other laborers in the Heaven Demon Pit, they might very well be targeted. At that time, even Qin Chen and the others would find it difficult to resist. The most important thing now was to recover their strength. ¡°Don¡¯t make a move yet. These few days, let¡¯s gather some information and see what kind of rules the Heaven Demon Pit has, For the next few days, Qin Chen and the others tried to mine the nether stones. However, they didn¡¯t know where the nether stones under the Heaven Demon Pit were, so they could only helplessly use their weapons to break the stone walls. Unfortunately, most of the time, they did not even touch a nether stone. They spent a lot of effort, but there was no result. They did not even see a small nether stone. This was what gave Qin Chen and the others a headache. They also saw many laborers in the Heaven Demon Pit, but most of them were natives from this space. There were almost no outsiders like Qin Chen. They had probably died long ago. However, even if those outsiders were still alive, Qin Chen didn¡¯t really care. After all, even if they were not dead, it was impossible for the other party to join forces with them. Soon, Qin Chen and the others found a laborer who wasn¡¯t too strong. They surrounded him and brought him to the side. ¡°There are many people who are similar to Gu Long in the Heaven Demon Pit. However, Gu Long is in charge of this area. The reason why they mingle together is that they want to plunder other people¡¯s nether stones and use the stones to achieve their goal of becoming stronger.¡± Qin Chen and the others were somewhat surprised. To think the nether stone could be used for cultivation. ¡°Within the nether stones are some natural treasures and other spiritual items that can be used to cultivate and become stronger. These are the resources that the people in this space rely on to cultivate.¡± Qin Chen and the others were very surprised when they heard what this guy said. As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized nether stone and shattered it. Then, they saw a broken petal within. The broken petal emitted spiritual energy, seemingly somewhat powerful. ¡°Why would there be a spiritual item wrapped in the nether stone?¡± This was the question that puzzled Qin Chen and the others. ¡°God knows how the nether stones were formed in the Heaven Demon Pit, but they seem to have been left behind by a peerless expert from a great battle. After the world back then shattered, these nether stones were left behind.¡¯ After hearing this, Qin Chen finally understood the origin of the nether stone. The palm-sized nether stone was easily shattered, but the bigger the nether stone, the harder it would be to shatter. And the larger the nether stone, the more powerful the spiritual item it contained. Qin Chen and the others let the guy go. Now, they understood a part of their situation.. Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: Give My Ass Chapter 633: Give My Ass Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The people that Qin Chen and the others had encountered were basically all coolies. These laborers would take the initiative to avoid them because they knew that the latter were outsiders. If they were not careful, it was very likely that a conflict would occur. That was why these guys were extremely cautious now. Moreover, once something happened in this dark Heaven Demon Pit, no one could say for sure the outcome. Even if it was between the natives, they would avoid each other so as not to be preyed upon. At this point, Qin Chen and the others finally dug out a piece of nether stone. It was the size of a head. Looking at the nether stone, they couldn¡¯t help but feel tempted. Since the nether stone could be used for cultivation, it might be able to help them recover some of their strength. After all, it was a spiritual item produced in this space, so it should have such an effect. With that, Qin Chen took the nether stone and tried to shatter it. Unexpectedly, the nether stone was extremely sturdy. Qin Chen used all of his strength but still couldn¡¯t shatter it. He only managed to crack it by relying on the innate sword embryo, slashing it down on the stone. As expected, the nether stone was so sturdy. No wonder it could wrap around those spiritual objects. After breaking the nether stone, Qin Chen and the others obtained a stalk of grass. It was quite small. They did not expect it to be contained in a head-sized nether stone. Qin Chen held the grass in his hand and felt that the aura it emitted was extremely powerful. From the laborer, Qin Chen and the others had learned that this stalk of grass should be something left behind from the destruction of the previous world. Then, Qin Chen looked at everyone. Everyone¡¯s unanimous decision was to let him devour and refine the little plant alone, and see how much power he could recover. After swallowing and refining the grass, Qin Chen discovered that his strength seemed to have improved, but the effect was greatly reduced. A portion of his strength was still sealed, and he was unable to recover any of his strength. It seemed that it was unrealistic to rely on the spiritual objects wrapped in the nether stones to recover their strength. Seeing Qin Chen shake his head, everyone understood that the nether stone probably wouldn¡¯t have much effect on them. If they wanted to recover their strength, they would have to rely on other methods. Following this, Qin Chen and the others continued to dig down from the place where they had found the nether stone. After a few hours, they dug out another nether stone again. This time, it was only the size of a pigeon egg. Looking at the pigeon-egg-size nether stone, they shook their heads and sighed. God knows how long it would take them to gather the ten catties of nether stones that they each needed this month. Qin Chen handed the nether stone to the big scorpion, and everyone went to other places to continue digging. It had to be said that the walls in the Heaven Demon Pit were very hard. The speed at which they broke the walls wasn¡¯t fast. God knows how long it would take to completely break them. Moreover, even if they worked hard to mine the nether stones, they might not be able to find any. This was because the distribution of the nether stones was very irregular. If they were lucky, they might be able to find one, but if they were unlucky, they might not be able to find even one. Not even a hair could be seen. This was what made Qin Chen and the others the most aggrieved. They might not be able to gather enough nether stones. After some time, Qin Chen and the others had only managed to gather less than three catties of nether stones. ¡°Big brother, they¡¯re just ahead.¡± A voice rang out. Only then did Qin Chen and the others realize that five figures were walking over. It seemed that these five figures had some thoughts about them. They probably wanted to attack them. After Qin Chen and the others discovered him, they wondered if they should make a move or endure it. ¡°Hand over your nether stones!¡± An expert in the lead walked over to Qin Chen and the others. Although his clothes were tattered, one could vaguely tell that the person who could wear such clothes probably had a powerful background. ¡°If you don¡¯t hand it over, heh¡­¡± The big scorpion stored the nether stones that they had gathered with great difficulty in his storage ring. His eyes were incomparably cold as he looked at this fellow. Seeing that Qin Chen and the others were silent, the leader of these guys was furious. ¡°You don¡¯t want to take it out, huh? You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!¡± Then, he directly attacked. Although Qin Chen and the others had been holding back, they couldn¡¯t care less now. The other party was already stepping on their heads. What was there to endure? Since they couldn¡¯t take it anymore, then there was no need to endure! With that, Qin Chen erupted with terrifying power. He held the innate sword embryo and injected his divine power into it, then hacked down at those few figures! The true dragon and the flame-wing beast couldn¡¯t take it anymore either. Seeing this, they revealed their true forms and charged over. Their realms were originally in the God Venerable Realm. If it was in the outside world, let alone dealing with these guys, even if there were a hundred more, it would be a matter of one thought. Terrifying flames burned toward those figures. It was a pity that in the Heaven Demon Pit, their strength had all dropped quite a bit. In the eyes of those few figures, they were not too powerful. Following this, they collided with the other party and were sent flying. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, seriously injured. A wound appeared on his body. It was caused by one of the cultivators. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one more chance. Hand it over or not?¡± The figures were coldly looking at Qin Chen and the others. Yet, how could Qin Chen hand over the nether stones that they had dug out with great difficulty? Impossible! ¡°Give my ass!¡± Qin Chen attacked again. The five figures¡¯ faces had already turned ashen, and their smiles carried a trace of killing intent. ¡°Then I can only send you on your way.¡± With that, Qin Chen saw those five figures charge straight over, wanting to kill them immediately. He understood that the way to obtain the nether stones was naturally not to mine obediently as they had just done. Instead, it was to attack others and snatch the others¡¯ gains. This was already the unspoken rule under the Heaven Demon Pit. Those who were able to survive in the Heaven Demon Pit all understood that the strong preyed on the weak. Only if their fists were hard enough could they obtain enough nether stones. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t just rely on his cultivation to fight. He also had a powerful physical body. His body was in the God Venerable realm. It was obviously not difficult for him to deal with and block the other party. With that, Qin Chen attacked. He activated his acupoint secret technique.. Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: You Can ‘t Escape Chapter 634: You Can ¡®t Escape Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Divine light surged from Qin Chen¡¯s acupoints, and all 108 of them erupted with terrifying blood energy. At this moment, Qin Chen looked like an ancient fierce beast. ¡®l¡¯nose guys coulC1 see now powerrul ms DIOOCI energy was at tms moment. It was very terrifying. ¡°How can he be someone who cultivates the physical body too?¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. Since these guys wanted to step on his head, they had to try and see if they had the ability. Then, Qin Chen attacked. Holding the innate sword embryo, he charged out. A terrifying chaos sword intent was condensed and he slashed out with his sword. The attack was incomparably terrifying. With the support of his blood energy, it had long reached an incomparably powerful stage. With that, one of the five was hurt by the attack, to the point he vomited blood. It was unbelievable. It seemed unimaginable that such terrifying power was released by this outsider. Qin Chen and the others had no other methods but to do this since their cultivation had been sealed and only their physical strength remained. Seeing this, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast immediately made their move as well. All they wanted was to kill the other party. It was easy for them to fight with their bodies to do that. Qin Chen immediately attacked, wanting to kill the other party. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast had already started fighting with the other four. These cultivators were no match for Qin Chen and the others in terms of physical body strength. Soon, they fell into a disadvantage. Qin Chen and the others laughed crazily. They dared to fight with their physical bodies, but these cultivators did not. How could their bodies be stronger than Qin Chen¡¯s? The true dragon and the flame-wing beast were God Venerable realm experts, as well as incomparably powerful divine beasts. The power of their bloodline made their bodies extremely terrifying. When their blood energy surged, their casual attacks could shake the void endlessly. ¡°Shit!¡± When the experts realized this, it was already too late. They had been severely injured. Now, it was their turn to feel fear. Since these guys could do whatever they wanted here, their background was sufficiently strong. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives long ago. It was all because they had a powerful backing that ordinary cultivators did not dare to attack them. However, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t care less about their background. Either way, they would just kill them first. Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to finish off these five cultivators, someone appeared. When Gu Long saw the scene, his heart palpitated slightly, and his expression turned solemn. ¡°Stop!¡± However, how could Qin Chen and the others still listen to him? Even if God came here today, these people had to die! Immediately after, Qin Chen chopped off the head of one of them. By the time Gu Long wanted to stop him, it was already too late. At the side, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast tore apart the bodies of the other four fellows. Even their primordial spirits could not escape, and they died very miserably. They didn¡¯t even have time to beg for mercy before they lost their lives. Their bodies weren¡¯t terrifying, and their defense was like paper to Qin Chen and the others. Things were troublesome now. ¡°You can¡¯t escape.¡± Qin Chen and the others looked at Gu Long, who was clearly startled by them. He did not expect the physical strength of these outsiders to be so terrifying, so much so that they could kill Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother. The head in Qin Chen¡¯s hand belonged to Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother. ¡°You have killed Huang Xingtian¡¯s family. You will know the consequences very soon. ¡± Huang Xingtian was an existence that even Gu Long feared. If they were to fight, he would definitely not have much chance of winning. It was enough to show how powerful Huang Xingtian was. ¡°Huang Xingtian is one of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit. His strength is comparable to level 6 God Venerable realm expert.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen and the others¡¯ hearts sank. They did not expect that the people they killed had such a terrifying expert behind them. Their current strength had been greatly reduced. Even the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were only at level 3 of the God Venerable realm. They were not a match for the other party at all. To dare provoke Huang Xingtian, Gu Long felt that even if these fellows were quite powerful, they were doomed. Gu Long was definitely not the only one who had witnessed Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother¡¯s death. It would not be long before Huang Xingtian heard about it. At that time, even if Qin Chen and the others did not want to die, they would die. It had been a long time since anyone had provoked Huang Xingtian. Now that his younger brother had died, he would definitely come to slaughter Qin Chen and the others. Oin Chen simDlv smiled. These cultivators had alreadv Dlaced their knives on their necks. If they weren¡¯t strong enough, they might have already died. In the eyes of Qin Chen and the others, killing these people was nothing. However, Huang Xingtian, who was backing them, was definitely not someone easy to deal with. With their current strength, they would most definitely be annihilated by the other party. After all, even their added-up combat strength might not be enough to fill the gap between the other party¡¯s teeth. A portion of their strength had already been restricted. How could they possibly be a match for the other party? Qin Chen saw that Gu Long had already left. It seemed that Gu Long had remained here, Huang Xingtian might take his anger out on him. Even he was just a small fry in front of Huang Xingtian. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Even if there¡¯s no Huang Xingtian, there will be a Huang Xingdi, or Huang Xingren. As long as we are here, we won¡¯t be able to live in peace.¡± It was just as Qin Chen had said. Even if it wasn¡¯t Huang Xingtian this time, they would still provoke someone else next time. Previously, Gu Long had wanted Qin Chen and the others to hand over a catty of nether stones, but now, these outsiders were already like dead people in his heart. Since they had killed Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother, the other party would definitely not let them off. The only outcome awaiting them was death. Qin Chen knew that what should come would come. This time, they wanted to take the opportunity to establish their might. As long as they could survive and get through this, no one would come to provoke them again. However, the most important thing now was to recover their strength. As long as they did so, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast should be able to fight the other party. With that, Qin Chen led everyone away. Now, they had to hide. At the very least, they had to try to recover a portion of their strength before Huang Xingtian arrived. If they couldn¡¯t even pass this stage now, then there was no point in digging for the nether stones anymore. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others decided to flee. They hid along the way, avoiding countless cultivators. These cultivators were also laborers in the Heaven Demon Pit and knew the rules here. They heard that something big had happened. ¡°I¡¯m afraid Huang Xingtian is about to go on a massacre..¡± Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: Golden Edge Catalog Chapter 635: Golden Edge Catalog Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As one of the top ten experts under the Heaven Demon Pit, Huang Xingtian was extremely powerful. The cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit avoided him as best they could. Since such a thing had happened, Huang Xingtian would probably go crazy. They wondered if those outsiders were stupid. They could kill anyone, but to think they dared to kill Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother. It was said that Huang Xingtian¡¯s younger brother was beheaded with a single sword strike. On the other side, Qin Chen and the others hid as they traveled, arriving in an unknown place. They were certain that no one knew their whereabouts. Qin Chen was trying to refine other natural treasures to see if there was any way he could recover a portion of his strength. God knows when the terrifying Huang Xingtian would find them. When the other party found them, it meant that their death had arrived. ¡°Good! ¡± Huang Xingtian¡¯s black hair fluttered in the wind. His expression froze as the cup in his hand was crushed into powder. ¡°Hurry up and find them!¡± He looked at his subordinates and killed a cultivator with a slap. The other cultivators trembled. They were not as powerful as Huang Xingtian, so much so they could be instantly killed. ¡°Yes, sir!¡± With that, the cultivators immediately rushed out frantically to search for Qin Chen and the others. The killing intent in Huang Xingtian¡¯s eyes was engraved on his face. His younger brother was dead! And he died so tragically! No one who had offended Huang Xingtian had ever been able to survive. Therefore, he wanted to personally make Qin Chen suffer. Otherwise, he did not know how he would face the other cultivators in the future. ¡°Even if you escape to the ends of the world, I will kill you!¡± Huang Xingtian¡¯s furious roar reverberated throughout the entire Heaven Demon Pit. At this moment, Qin Chen was trying all sorts of methods. ¡°How can I recover my physical body?¡± Now that the enemy was after them, there was not much time left for Qin Chen and the others. Even if they fought against Huang Xingtian at their peak, they might not have been a match for him at all. And now, their strength had been sealed. Also, they had yet to recover from the previous battle. One could imagine that if the ruthless Huang Xingtian came knocking on Qin Chen¡¯s door, there was no way he could resist at all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen slowly calmed himself down. The more it was like this, the calmer he had to be. The only way to survive now was to find a way for them to recover their strength. Qin Chen had tried all sorts of methods to no avail. It was also at this moment that he suddenly felt a faint aura of divinity. He didn¡¯t expect to actually be able to encounter a place with divinity remnants here. Generally speaking, it was not easy to encounter a place with divinity remnants. Moreover, this was a space where a great battle had taken place. Even the previous world had been shattered. Qin Chen immediately went over. As long as he could find the place where the divinity remnant was, he could use the system to check-in. Perhaps then, he could deal with that terrifying Huang Xingtian. In the eyes of the other cultivators, since the outsiders provoked Huang Xingtian, weren¡¯t they simply courting death? But now, Qin Chen had found the possibility of surviving. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others followed him. They didn¡¯t know where the Elder King was taking them, but as long as they followed the Elder King, nothing had ever happened to them. They couldn¡¯t face the powerful Huang Xingtian on their own either, so they chose to follow Qin Chen. Soon, Qin Chen and the others arrived at the depths of the Heaven Demon Pit. ¡°Dig!¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t say any extra words of explanation because he knew that they didn¡¯t have much time left. They had to cherish every minute. Although the others didn¡¯t know why Qin Chen had them dig or whether there was something buried here, they still quickly moved. This was the place where Qin Chen sensed the remnants of divinity. If everyone dug together, it would be much faster. Soon, the ground was dug open. ¡°There¡¯s something in here!¡± The big scorpion exclaimed. With the help of Holy Maiden Mu Cue and the others, they dug out the thing under the ground quickly. It was a tattered calligraphy piece. God knows what material this tattered calligraphy piece was made of, but it was incomparably hard. Even when the flame-wing beast and the true dragon used their blood energy, they could not break it. When Qin Chen saw the calligraphy piece, he was stunned. He saw that a line of words was written on it. The strokes were cursives. It could be seen that the owner of this writing was definitely powerful. It was just a simple line of words, but it actually contained the aura of the Great Path, as if a Great Path had been left in those words. It was just that the words were a little blurry. As such, it was very difficult for them to obtain any enlightenment from the words. Then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] Sure enough, as Qin Chen had expected, the writing that contained divinity remnants should be something left behind by an expert. He had been looking for it. ¡°Check in!¡± Qin Chen muttered in his heart. Now that they had reached the most critical moment, they must get something extraordinary. That was because ordinary things would not be able to deal with Huang Xingtian at all. [Ding dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in at the Divine Dao calligraphy piece. You have received the Golden Blade Catalog!] [Golden Blade Catalog: A magic item left behind by quasi-emperor Bai Feng. It can be used three times! It contains the Golden Halberd Killing Array, which is as powerful as quasi-emperor Bai Feng¡¯s full-powered attack. It is powerful enough to kill experts below the quasi-emperor realm, with unpredictable power.] Hearing this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but become excited. As expected, he had obtained something good. To think the Golden Blade Catalog could kill experts below the quasi-emperor realm. Didn¡¯t this mean that he had been given a trump card that could be used thrice to kill his enemies? It was a pity it could only be used three times. Huang Xingtian would be nothing in front of the Golden Blade Catalog. The other party would probably be killed immediately. Now, Qin Chen had finally found a way to survive. ¡°To think there was a quasi-emperor here¡­¡± In Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, the quasi-emperor realm was far beyond his reach.. Which one of those experts who had lived till this era wasn¡¯t in the quasi-emperor realm? Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: Found You! Chapter 636: Found You! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A golden bamboo scroll appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It seemed that this was the Golden Blade Catalog. To think the Golden Blade Catalog was refined by a quasi-emperor-realm expert. It had exceeded his expectations. With the Golden Blade Catalog, he naturally didn¡¯t need to spend so much effort to hide. Even if Huang Xingtian was standing in front of him now, they wouldn¡¯t need to be afraid. This was because the attack of the Golden Blade Catalog was equivalent to the full-power attack of a quasi-emperor. Even if Huang Xingtian was extremely capable, it was impossible for him to block such a terrifying attack. He would ultimately die under the Golden Blade Catalog. Qin Chen hadn¡¯t expected to be able to escape from the crisis so quickly. He was also greatly surprised. Now, they could finally live on. However, this was only temporary. When the Golden Blade Catalog¡¯s three attacks were used up, he wouldn¡¯t have any other trump cards. And now, the divinity remnant in the Divine Dao calligraphy piece that he had checked in with had completely been consumed. The piece turned into ashes and dissipated. When the others looked at Qin Chen, they discovered that he was holding a gold bamboo scroll in his hand. It was emitting a powerful aura, so terrifying that even they were extremely wary. They did not know what it was. Qin Chen put the gold bamboo scroll in his storage ring. When he fought Huang Xingtian, he would catch the latter off guard. It was just a pity that the gold bamboo scroll could only be used three times. That Divine Dao calligraphy piece was also a treasure. Unfortunately, it had already disappeared from the world. Otherwise, with Qin Chen¡¯s comprehension ability, he might¡¯ve been able to comprehend the powerful orear yarn or a quasi-emperor. To Qin Chen, this was a great opportunity that he had missed. That being said, he had already obtained what he wanted. With the Golden Blade Catalog, probably not many experts in this space could be a match for him. After that, Qin Chen did not continue forward. Instead, he stopped in his tracks. Right now, he had to wait for Huang Xingtian to come knocking on his door. ¡°Where is he?¡± After saying that, Huang Xingtian instantly crushed the head of a cultivator. The other party revealed a pained expression before he died. One had to know that Huang Xingtian had long reached level 6 of the God Venerable realm. At this moment, Huang Xingtian was about to go completely crazy because he had yet to find the whereabouts of Qin Chen and the others. In this huge Heaven Demon Pit, he had not found the other party yet. He absolutely could not tolerate it. One had to know that he had countless experts as his subordinates. How could he not even find the other party? It was as if those outsiders had evaporated from the face of the Earth. They could not find anything, not even a trace. This was what angered Huang Xingtian the most. Now, his younger brother was already dead, yet he couldn¡¯t avenge him. He couldn¡¯t even find the whereabouts of the enemy. How could he not be furious? But no matter how angry he was, it was useless. He still did not know where the other party was hiding and could only continue to rage. ¡°My lord, my lord. We received a piece of news. We know where the other party might be hiding.¡± Hearing this, Huang Xingtian finally stopped killing his subordinates. ¡°What did you say?¡± Huang Xingtian asked calmly. The cultivator who spoke up was so scared that his entire body trembled. He was afraid that he would end up like the previous cultivator. Therefore, he immediately said truthfully, ¡°They should be hiding in the depths of the Heaven Demon Pit. Only by hiding there can we still not find them.¡± Hearing this, Huang Xingtian nodded. Perhaps the other party might really be hiding there. Beneath the Heaven Demon Pit was an infinitely vast space where nether stones could be mined. Countless lives had been lost for the Heaven Demon Pit to be expanded to its current state. After that, Huang Xingtian turned around and waved his hand, ordering them to search for Qin Chen and the others there. Only by tearing Qin Chen and the others into pieces could he calm his anger. After all, that was his younger brother. To think those outsiders were so arrogant that they killed his brother without even leaving his corpse intact. He died a horrible death. This was the reason why Huang Xingtian was so angry. He vowed to turn Qin Chen and the others into ashes. If they were really hiding in the depths of the Heaven Demon Pit, it would indeed be quite difficult to search for them. However, to find their whereabouts, they had no choice but to do so. Right now, Huang Xingtian could not help but want to take action personally. Until now, the murderer who killed his brother was still at large. This was what made him the angriest. ¡°Little brother! I will definitely avenge you. I will use their blood to pay homage to you!¡± In the Heaven Demon Pit, who did not know of his name? Even so, his brother still died. Huang Xingtian roared, and it actually shook the surrounding void, creating cracks. His strength was incomparably terrifying. In contrast, Qin Chen and the others were extremely relaxed right now. They weren¡¯t worried in the least. The others knew that the Elder King already had a magic item that could deal with the other party. Even if Huang Xingtian appeared before them now, they would not have the slightest fear. Having followed the Elder King until now, the flame-wing beast, the big scorpion, and the others had long trusted him. As long as they followed the Elder King, there would not be any problems. They had survived every near-death experience. If it was someone else, they might have already been reincarnated countless times. Currently, Qin Chen already had a trump card to deal with Huang Xingtian. ¡°It should be about time.¡± Qin Chen knew that they had already been discovered. It would not be long before Huang Xingtian arrived. However, he was much calmer than before. As long as he was around, he wouldn¡¯t let other experts threaten his comrades¡¯ lives. As expected, not long after, they sensed that someone had appeared. It was a cultivator who immediately fled. Qin Chen knew that the other party should have gone back to report, but he did not stop him. Humans died for wealth and birds died for food. It wouldn¡¯t take long before they would meet Huang Xingtian, one of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit. Qin Chen was quite expectant as he watched that cultivator leave in a panic.. Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: Huang Xingtian Dies! Chapter 637: Huang Xingtian Dies! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen continued trying to recover his cultivation. He didn¡¯t why, but the rules here were terrifying. Until now, he still hadn¡¯t been able to recover even a portion of his strength. Within his body, an unknown amount of divine power was boiling, but he just couldn¡¯t unleash it. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen swallowed and refined some of the natural treasures in his storage ring. Still, he couldn¡¯t recover his strength. At this point, a long time had passed. ¡°Come out!¡± A furious roar reverberated in the air. Surprise appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes. To think that Huang Xingtian would come at this moment. Evidently, Huang Xingtian had rushed over as soon as he received the news. When he saw Qin Chen and the others, the killing intent in his eyes was so dense that it was almost tangible. One could imagine how much he wanted to kill them. ¡°You are Qin Chen?¡± Huang Xingtian immediately locked his gaze on Qin Chen. The strength of Qin Chen and the others had greatly decreased. Even if they relied on their physical strength, it was probably impossible for them to resist this terrifying cultivator. After all, Huang Xingtian was at his peak state and his realm was stronger than theirs. With this, the chances of Qin Chen and the others winning were slim. However, during this period, Qin Chen had already found a way to deal with Huang Xingtian. He looked at the other party. It was obvious that the other party wanted to make a move against him as well. Qin Chen remained silent. Looking at the strength of these outsiders, Huang Xingtian laughed out loud. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll use your blood to pay tribute to my brother¡¯s spirit in heaven!¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s lips curled into a meaningful smile. He had the Golden Blade Catalog. It was not difficult for him to deal with Huang Xingtian. Huang Xingtian could clearly tell that there was something wrong with the other party, especially Qin Chen. To think the other party was unfearful when facing him. It was only logical that the other party might have some trump card. However, even if he had any trump cards, he might not be able to stop Huang Xingtian. ¡°I¡¯m very curious where your confidence comes from.¡± Huang Xingtian was an extremely sly old fox. Qin Chen took out his innate sword embryo. One had to know that this was an extreme emperor weapon, the weapon of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. With such terrifying power, even the strongest cultivator would covet it. Huang Xingtian¡¯s eyes were sharp, he could tell that this sword was extraordinary. One could imagine what it would be like if this sword fell into his hands. ¡°This sword is not bad.¡± As long as he killed Qin Chen, the sword would be his. Huang Xingtian was extremely powerful, and he did not think much of Qin Chen and the others at all. ¡°You want to block me with just this sword? It seems that you have no chance of turning the tables.¡± Huang Xingtian¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with endless profoundness. ¡°My intuition tells me that your trump card is definitely not just this sword. However, even if you have any other trump cards, you are destined to not be able to survive.¡± In Huang Xingtian¡¯s hand, dazzling light bloomed as a lightning-like spear appeared in his hand. Huang Xingtian was indeed not someone to be trifled with. Since he could cultivate to his current realm, he should be quite capable. Qin Chen frowned. ¡°Do you know why I was thrown into the Heaven Demon Pit?¡± The spear in Huang Xingtian¡¯s hand pierced through the galaxy like a ray of light that could tear apart the apocalypse. His bones were cracking as if they were trembling. An aura that could seemingly wither all things was spreading. The crystalline light made everyone unable to look straight at it. It was obvious that if this spear pierced into their bodies, they would not be able to withstand it. Huang Xingtian had already condensed a spear domain, and it was an extremely terrifying one. ¡°I secretly learned the secret technique of quasi-emperor Wuji Spear God. West Mountain Scorching Sun Spear!¡± In an instant, the light was like a blazing sun in the sky, directly attacking Qin Chen! Qin Chen could sense that the void had been sealed. He had no chance of escaping. However, he had already found a way to deal with the other party. At that critical moment, he took out the gold bamboo scroll from his storage ring. ¡°Golden Blade Catalog!¡± Qin Chen poured the divine power in his body into the gold bamboo scroll in his hand, activating it. All of a sudden, the Golden Blade Catalog became incomparably terrifying. The killing power of golden halberds seemed to have burst out. This was an attack that was comparable to quasi-emperor Bai Feng¡¯s full-force attack. The Golden Blade Catalog could only be used three times. It was a waste to use it once on Huang Xingtian, who was only at level 6 of the God Venerable realm. Unfortunately, there was no other way. Seeing the terrifying spear light coming toward him, Qin Chen could only use the scroll once to deal with Huang Xingtian. Soon, the golden bamboo scroll in Qin Chen¡¯s hand erupted with a terrifying aura. ¡°Shit!¡± No matter how monstrous Huang Xingtian was, he simply couldn¡¯t resist this terrifying attack. In an instant, his body was enveloped by the power of the golden halberd attack. It was impossible to escape now. Such a terrifying aura could easily kill him. Huang Xingtian could never have imagined that the outsider who was trapped in the Heaven Demon Pit had such powerful means. It was simply unfathomable. And now, in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, Huang Xingtian¡¯s body dissipated along with his terrifying spear light. They turned into nothingness, no longer seen. Huang Xingtian was dead! One of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit had died in Qin Chen¡¯s hands just like that. Huang Xingtian himself had been incredulous until death. He couldn¡¯t understand why he would die. He only knew that he could no longer avenge his younger brother. Qin Chen and the others waited for the terrifying attack to calm down. Only then did they see that the place where Huang Xingtian had been standing was now left with a deep crack. ¡°Dead?¡± The incomparably terrifying Huang Xingtian had died just like that, leaving nothing behind. Even his weapon and storage ring had been destroyed by the Golden Blade Catalog in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. One could imagine how terrifying the Golden Blade Catalog was. No wonder Qin Chen was so calm. Even the terrifying Huang Xingtian was no match for him. Qin Chen looked at the cracked ground and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Although Huang Xingtian wanted to kill him, it was undeniable that the former¡¯s strength was extremely powerful. Ordinary cultivators did not have such talent at all. To be able to cultivate the path of the spear to such a level, he was an extremely terrifying figure.. Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: Snatch, Snatch, Snatch Chapter 638: Snatch, Snatch, Snatch Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to leave, they noticed that the situation around them was extremely strange. An incomparably huge figure had appeared. ¡°lt¡¯s the monster in the Heaven Demon Pit!¡± The flame-wing beast exclaimed. God knows why, but they had attracted the most terrifying monster in the pit. If they did not have powerful strength, they would probably not have the chance to even react at all. This was the first time that a monster in the Heaven Demon Pit had shown itself in front of Qin Chen and the others. It was quite terrifying. Its body was pitch-black, perfectly hidden in the Heaven Demon Pit¡¯s environment. Qin Chen and the others also knew that they were now the targets of this giant monster. Facing this terrifying monster, they felt that even if they used their full strength, they might not be able to escape, ultimately dying at its hands. One had to know that this kind of monster only lived in the Heaven Demon Pit. Its strength was incomparably terrifying, and it was naturally cruel and bloodthirsty. The monster knew that these humans must have discovered its presence, so it wanted to kill them straight away. Qin Chen and the others had yet to react before they were struck by a black light. There was no other way. Under such circumstances of imminent death, he could only activate the Golden Blade Catalog again. It was almost impossible for him to resist the other party now. Without the Golden Blade Catalog, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive. Therefore, Qin Chen didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately activated the Golden Blade Catalog. In an instant, it attacked the terrifying monster. The monster could not react in time. By the time it sensed danger, it was already too late. In an instant, its body was torn apart. Under the quasi-emperor-realm attack, the monster turned into nothingness, leaving nothing behind. The terrifying attack shook the void. In the meantime, Qin Chen¡¯s heart was aching. One had to know that the Golden Blade Catalog could only be used three times, and he had already used it twice. There was only one last time left. This made Qin Chen feel heartache. It wouldn¡¯t be easy for him to find such a treasure again. After all, he had only obtained this treasure when he checked in with a divinity remnant. Powerful divinity remnants would probably not be easy to find here. After all, this world had already shattered, making it almost impossible for such powerful divinity remnants to be left behind. Plus, Qin Chen and the others had yet to recover their strength. If they lost the means to subdue their opponents, they would be in danger again. Even if they had powerful physical bodies, they would still be limited and wouldn¡¯t be able to make a breakthrough. Their strength was suppressed here. Looking at the countless cracks in the ground, Qin Chen could not help but ask, ¡°How can we recover our strength?¡± In their understanding, the restriction on everyone¡¯s strength should be due to the rules. The rules here were different from those in the outside world, yet the cultivation system of the people here was roughly the same as that in the outside world. At the same time, their strength was not affected in the slightest here. It was obvious that they had long adapted. It was obviously unrealistic for Qin Chen and the others to adapt to the rules here since they would have to face countless dangers. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± There was no point in staying here any longer. It shouldn¡¯t be long before everyone in the Heaven Demon¡¯s pit knew that they had killed Huang Xingtian. At that time, all the cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit would be wary of them. Of course, some would probably target them since they were so strong that even Huang Xingtian had died at their hands. If one didn¡¯t want to die inexplicably, the best way was to understand the enemies and dangers that might appear. As such, Qin Chen and the others would probably be targeted by other experts after the matter spread. After a few days, they learned some news. Among the experts in the Heaven Demon Pit, Huang Xingtian was almost the weakest. In other words, the other nine experts were far more powerful than Huang Xingtian. Someone had already received the news and was searching for Qin Chen and the others. In the eyes of those who were interested, this was an important piece of information. If someone wanted to attack Qin Chen and the others, having a grasp over the latter¡¯s location would allow one to ask for a large sum of money. They had to hand over ten catties of nether stones in a month. Now, it had been almost half a month since Qin Chen and the others arrived, but they had only mined less than three catties of nether stones. If they wanted to complete the mission, they would have to think of other ways. For example, some experts hadn¡¯t learned of the true identities of Qin Chen and the others, and actually came over to rob them. As a result, Qin Chen and the others immediately robbed the other party of all their nether stones instead. With this, the speed at which they gathered the nether stones was much faster. They had only robbed a few people, and they had already collected a total of two catties of nether stones. It was obvious that in the Heaven Demon Pit, the law of the jungle was the most realistic. As long as their fists were big enough, they could obtain nether stones without having to rely on themselves. If one wanted to collect enough nether stones as soon as possible, one could only rob others! Rob! Snatch! Not far away, a few cultivators walked over. Clearly, they weren¡¯t weak. They seemed to be targeting Qin Chen a_nd the others, wanting to rob them of their nether stones. Qin Chen and the others noticed that the person in the lead was Gu Long. One had to know that Gu Long had been the first person to rob Qin Chen and the others when they just entered the Heaven Demon Pit. They never thought that they would meet again in such a manner. When he saw Qin Chen¡¯s face clearly, Gu Longs face instantly turned pale. He knew that Qin Chen and the others were extremely powerful. Even the incomparably powerful Huang Xingtian was far from being a match for them, having been beaten to death without a complete corpse One could imagine he probably couldn¡¯t make Qin Chen and the others feel much fear. Gu Long immediately wanted to escape when he recalled the past events. It was the same for the others. They were already scared out of their wits. In their eyes, Huang Xingtian was already a giant that they could not afford to offend. However, such a giant had been destroyed by Qin Chen and the others. With their strength, they were probably like ants in the eyes of the other party. As long as Qin Chen and the others wanted to make a move, they would definitely not have the slightest chance of winning. They could not even cause some damage to the other party.. Chapter 639 - Chapter 639: Daoist Bailang Chapter 639: Daoist Bailang Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just as Gu Long was about to flee, he discovered that two figures were already standing behind him. Shit! Gu Long revealed a bitter smile. It was probably impossible for him to escape now. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast stared at this guy. One had to know that there was a lot of ¡°deep enmity¡± between them. Gu Long no longer had any dignity as an expert. He immediately took out all the nether stones he had, including all his natural treasures, and offered them up with both hands. He only asked Qin Chen and the others to spare his life. He didn¡¯t want to die. Upon seeing Gu Longs reaction, Qin Chen and the others shook their heads and accepted the nether stones. Qin Chen didn¡¯t like killing. After looting the nether stones from the other party, he let them go. Gu Long and the others had a total of three catties of nether stones. One could imagine that they must have robbed many cultivators of their nether stones. Qin Chen smiled. With this, it wouldn¡¯t be long before they would be able to collect ten catties of nether stones. At that time, they would be able to return to the surface. Cultivators couldn¡¯t stay in the Heaven Demon Pit for long because there was a mysterious aura that would invade their bodies. If they stayed for a long time in the pit, they would definitely die here. This was also the reason why there were so many casualties in the pit other than due to monster attacks. Qin Chen and the others discovered that their bodies already had a huge lot of that aura, and it was continuously causing damage to their bodies. Therefore, it was necessary to return to the surface before they recovered their strength. Thinking of this, Qin Chen brought everyone to continue wandering around the Heaven Demon Pit, snatching the nether stones from other cultivators. All this while, someone had been tracking them for some time. It probably wouldn¡¯t be long before that person would come knocking on their door. Qin Chen and the others had just robbed another cultivator of his nether stones when a fierce-looking cultivator appeared not far from them. This cultivator smiled at Qin Chen, but his face still looked fierce. He probably wasn¡¯t a good person either. ¡°I am Daoist Bailang.¡± Only now did Qin Chen and the others realize that this fierce-looking cultivator was one of the ten great experts in the Heaven Demon Pit. In other words, his strength was far more terrifying than Huang Xingtian, who had died at their hands! They did not expect that the ones who came to their door would actually be one of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the other party, wondering what the other party wanted. ¡°What do you want?¡± Daoist Bailang simply smiled. This fierce-looking man cupped his hands at Qin Chen. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Fellow Daoist Qin¡¯s strength is extraordinary. I have something important to discuss with you. Why don¡¯t we talk in private?¡± The fact that Qin Chen and the others were able to kill Huang Xingtian showed that their strength was extraordinary. If Daoist Bailang didn¡¯t want to take the risk to get nether stones, he was also unwilling to attack them. This was also the reason why Qin Chen was somewhat puzzled. Since the other party did not want to attack him, why would he come looking for him? They arrived at a quieter place and Daoist Bailang set up some arrays to conceal their auras, isolating themselves from the world. ¡°Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist!¡± Daoist Bailang did this for a reason. He wanted to do something big. For example, escaping from the Heaven Demon Pit. If they continued to stay in the Heaven Demon Pit, their personalities would become extremely violent. Their strength would also improve very slowly, and they would be in danger of dying at any time. Even if the cultivators from the outside world sent powerful experts into the Heaven Demon Pit, it was still difficult to exterminate those monsters. Therefore, their lives were in danger. If they encountered a powerful monster, they might be seriously injured or even lose their lives. All these years in the Heaven Demon Pit, every cultivator had lived in fear. ¡°Fellow Daoist Bailang, is there anything you need?¡± Daoist Bailang burst into laughter. ¡°I indeed have something to discuss with you, Fellow Daoist Qin. This is a serious matter, so I hope you can forgive me for my actions. After staying in this Heaven Demon Pit for a long time, I believe that everyone wants to leave this damned place.¡± Hearing this, the meaning of Daoist Bailangs words was very clear. He wanted to escape from this place and leave the Heaven Demon Pit. Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect that the other party would be so crazy that he wanted to leave this place. One should know that there were many experts guarding the Heaven Demon Pit. The purpose of these experts was to prevent the cultivators who were trapped in the Heaven Demon Pit from escaping. Qin Chen¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but he looked at the other party as he said slowly, ¡°In that case, does Fellow Daoist Bailang have a brilliant idea?¡± ¡°This time, I came to find Fellow Daoist Qin because I already have a way to leave this place. However, I wonder if you all want to leave? Why wouldn¡¯t Qin Chen and the others want to leave this damned place? One had to know that in this place, even their lives were in danger. Moreover, their cultivation was greatly suppressed here. As a result, it was naturally impossible for them to cultivate and become stronger. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others yearned to leave and return to the cosmic. ¡°Fellow Daoist Bailang, please speak. I¡¯m willing to hear the details.¡± Those who could reach this realm were naturally not fools. It was impossible for him to be used as a tool by others. Therefore, Qin Chen planned to listen to Daoist Bailangs plan first before making a decision. Daoist Bailang laughed heartily. ¡°Delightful! To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Qin, the candidate I was looking for previously was Huang Xingtian. Unfortunately, that fellow has already died. Since you should be stronger than him, I want to pull you guys into my team.¡± Qin Chen looked at Daoist Bailang and silently calculated in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to leave the Heaven Demon Pit. There had been a riot earlier. A powerful cultivator was locked in the Heaven Demon Pit, and after he broke through, he killed his way out. That incident caused many casualties among the cultivators in the outside world. After that, they carried out a bloody suppression on the Heaven Demon Pit, killing any cultivator who dares to resist in the pit. There was one expert who was not killed. Instead, he went into hiding. Back then, he had a very deep relationship with the peerless expert who had killed his way out of the Heaven Demon Pit.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was slightly shocked. He never thought that there would be a fierce person who could kill his way out of the Heaven Demon Pit. This was something he had never expected.. Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: The Old Man Chapter 640: The Old Man Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Currently, Daoist Bailang probably wanted to join forces with the cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit to imitate the riot from back then and escape from the pit. Since Qin Chen and the others could and had destroyed Huang Xingtian, naturally, they had been chosen by the other party. No matter how they killed Huang Xingtian, their combat strength was what Daoist Bailang needed. The more powerful the rioting cultivators were, the better. Only then would they have a greater chance of escaping and leaving the Heaven Demon Pit. At this point, Daoist Bailang looked at Qin Chen, wondering if he would agree or not. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. To think he had been chosen by the other party. Of course, he wanted to leave this damned place! However, if Daoist Bailang wanted to pull him into his team so easily, Qin Chen would not agree. One had to know that if they failed, there would only be one outcome, and that was that they would all die. Daoist Bailang seemed to have noticed that Qin Chen wasn¡¯t easy to deal with. He had investigated Qin Chen beforehand. This outsider didn¡¯t have a very powerful cultivation realm, but he was the backbone of these people. The strength of these outsiders had been suppressed, yet they had still managed to annihilate Huang Xingtian. This was enough to show that they were not weak. Rather, they might even be stronger than him. Therefore, after Huang Xingtian¡¯s death, Daoist Bailang came to Qin Chen. Wanting to invite Qin Chen would not be an easy task. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you this secret. The peerless expert who killed his way out back then was also an outsider. If Fellow Daoist Qin and everyone is willing to riot together, I will hand over the peerless expert¡¯s cultivation technique of strength recovery to you.¡± What?! Qin Chen and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. To think the fierce person who had killed his way out of the Heaven Demon Pit back then was an outsider like them! Moreover, the other party had a cultivation technique for strength recovery? This was what shocked Qin Chen and the others. What a joke! It was almost impossible! One had to know that even after using various methods, they still could not recover their strength. ¡°If Fellow Daoist Qin doesn¡¯t believe me, I can give you half of the cultivation technique now so that you can determine if it¡¯s real or fake.¡± After saying that, Daoist Bailang took out half a scroll of a cultivation technique from his storage ring and handed it to Qin Chen and the others. Taking the half scroll, Qin Chen and the others knew that it was real after a glance. That peerless expert did have a cultivation technique for strength recovery, and the method was recorded in this book. Qin Chen took a deep breath. They could finally recover their strength. ¡°Fellow Daoist Qin, are you in? This was Daoist Bailangs bargaining chip. He could tell that Qin Chen was an experienced person who would not act until he saw the benefits. That was why he had given half of the scroll to Qin Chen and the others. If they agreed, he would hand over the remaining half of the scroll to them. Qin Chen nodded. This was indeed a rare opportunity. ¡°Fellow Daoist Qin, don¡¯t worry. This time, all ten great experts in the Heaven Demon Pit will take action. Most of the cultivators will also riot together.¡± Looking at this fierce-looking man, Qin Chen smiled. Daoist Bailang cupped his hands and left. Not long after, he got someone to send over the remaining half of the cultivation technique. Now that Qin Chen and the others had this secret technique, they could naturally recover their strength. At that time, even if they wanted to kill their way out of the Heaven Demon Pit, it would be a piece of cake, and the danger would be greatly reduced. Thinking of this, Qin Chen put the two halves of the scroll together and asked everyone to cultivate together. Everyone quickly began to cultivate. The secret technique functioned by opening one¡¯s divine power pool to absorb the power in this space. With that, one could fuse oneself with the laws of this space and thus would no longer be suppressed. After Qin Chen and the others recovered their strength, their strength soared. Even if they encountered an expert like Huang Xingtian again, they wouldn¡¯t need the Golden Blade Catalog to kill the other party. As time passed, Daoist Bailang came looking for them again. When he saw that Qin Chen and the others had recovered their strength, a smile appeared on his face. As expected, these guys were not ordinary people. Now, even he might not have the confidence to defeat Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Fellow Daoist Qin, let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen gave everyone a look, and they followed him. After some time, they finally stopped moving at full speed. At this moment, everyone was brought to a residence by Daoist Bailang. To be able to open up a residence under the Heaven Demon Pit meant that the owner of the residence was very terrifying. Then, an old man walked out of the residence. He was wearing a starry robe, looking quite otherworldly. His strength and realm were as unfathomable as a pool of stagnant water. Qin Chen and the others had no idea how powerful the other party was. ¡°You must be Qin Chen?¡± The old man said. Daoist Bailang hurriedly explained to Qin Chen. This old man was the one who had a connection with the peerless expert who had killed his way out of the Heaven Demon Pit. The other party had always been in the Heaven Demon Pit. Back then, he had escaped that great battle and avoided being bloodily suppressed. This was enough to show how powerful this old man was. However, no matter how powerful he was, Qin Chen was confident that he could kill him. After all, he had the Golden Blade Catalog, which could release an attack equivalent to a quasi-emperor-realm full-power attack. ¡°Indeed. The others behind Qin Chen also discovered that this old man did not seem to be a cultivator from this spatial zone. He should be an outsider too. Unexpectedly, this old man asked Qin Chen frankly, ¡°Has the opportunity to become a great emperor appeared in the outside world?¡± So he was really an outsider? This was something Qin Chen found quite unbelievable. Daoist Bailang couldn¡¯t care less about the opportunity to become a great emperor that they had mentioned. He just wanted to escape from the Heaven Demon Pit. For this old man to be able to survive back then, his strength was naturally extremely terrifying. If they wanted to start a riot again, it would be impossible without this old man. That was why Daoist Bailang was so respectful to the old man. When the battle broke out later, Daoist Bailang could then fish in troubled waters and escape. At that time, it was up to fate whoever could escape, though the more the better. This was also the only way for them to leave the Heaven Demon Pit. Thinking of this, Daoist Bailang turned around and left. The old man looked at Qin Chen. Obviously, he was very concerned about this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor. ¡°Senior, are you also from the outside world?¡± The old man stroked his beard and nodded, ¡°I¡¯ve been locked up here for countless years before I¡¯ve finally broken through the bottleneck and reached the peak of the God Venerable realm. Now, I¡¯m only one step away from reaching perfection in the God Venerable realm..¡± Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: Riot Chapter 641: Riot Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The realm above the peak of the God Venerable realm was the Great Perfection realm, and above that was the quasi-emperor realm. Once breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm, one would be Supreme in the world. In the current era where there were no great emperors, one would already be an expert who could dominate the world, almost invincible. Almost all of those old undying monsters were in the quasi-emperor realm. Although this old man was still two major realms away from the quasi-emperor realm, if he made a move along with them, Qin Chen and the others might really be able to follow him out and return to the star field. This was what Qin Chen was thinking about. ¡°My name is Chen Fan. I was once a genius in the ancient era.¡± It was a pity that time made people old. Heroes and beauties alike, few could live till old age. Chen Fan also wanted to leave this place and return to the cosmic. ¡°You should have already cultivated the secret technique, right?¡± Qin Chen and the others nodded. In other words, they had almost recovered all their strength. This was their best chance to leave this place. As long as Chen Fan could lead them out of the Heaven Demon Pit, they could naturally return to the cosmic. Time passed quickly. Qin Chen had no idea what had happened in the outside world. Since he had disappeared for such a long time, there must have been many changes again. Furthermore, his strength had not increased in the slightest during this period. This was the most fatal part. One must know that Qin Chen¡¯s enemies outside were extremely powerful. If he didn¡¯t become stronger, he might be killed by them. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement as he asked, ¡°Senior, can these nether stones increase our strength?¡± Chen Fan shook his head and told Qin Chen and the others, ¡°The spiritual items wrapped in the nether stones are almost ineffective to us. Only cultivators who have adapted to this space can become powerful through them.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. ¡°You guys stay here and prepare for the next few days. When it¡¯s about time, we¡¯ll kill our way out.¡± Chen Fan was at the peak of the God Venerable realm, so he should be able to catch the opponent off guard if he suddenly attacked. That way, the chances of escaping from the Heaven Demon Pit would be much higher. ¡°Senior, I have another question. How did this Heaven Demon Pit form? Chen Fan¡¯s voice was deep as he said slowly, ¡°This Heaven Demon Pit was left behind by a peerless existence above the quasi-emperor realm. They blew up this world and a portion of the shattered world formed the Heaven Demon Pit.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. To think the Heaven Demon Pit was formed by a shattered world. Moreover, its creator was an expert who had already surpassed the quasi -emperor realm. However, wasn¡¯t the realm beyond the quasi-emperor the great emperor realm? Chen Fan shook his head and said, ¡°To become an ancient great emperor, you need to be stronger. That expert could only be considered a half-step great emperor at most.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen fell into deep thought. It turned out that there was the half-step great emperor realm below the ancient great emperor realm. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others had been trying to increase their strength these days. Unfortunately, the rules in this space were different from the outside world. As such, it was almost impossible for them to increase their strength. Even if they could cultivate, the improvements were very slow. Therefore, they gave up on this idea and tried their best to return to their best state. After a while, it would be time for the riot. If they were not strong enough then, they might even be in danger of dying. Thinking of this, Qin Chen also began to recover his strength. When Qin Chen felt that his strength had recovered to its peak, he opened his eyes. At this moment, Chen Fan also walked out. Chen Fan was no longer exuding the aged aura as before. Instead, his aura was like a rising star, full of vitality. Looking at his back, he seemed to have returned to his prime. No matter what, Chen Fan couldn¡¯t stay here any longer. If he did, it was impossible for him to become stronger. If not for being stuck here, he might have already stepped into the quasi -emperor realm. And now, it was time for the riot. Chen Fan waved his hand and turned into a beam of light, flying into the distance while bringing everyone with him. Daoist Bailang was waiting there respectfully. There were eight other figures beside him, and their auras were all extremely powerful. They were the remaining eight of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit. At this moment, countless cultivators raised their heads and gathered at the same time. A strong fighting spirit burst out from their eyes. Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Chen Fan. The aura of the elder with snow-white hair suddenly became powerful and emitted extremely terrifying fluctuations. It was as if an ancient beast had appeared. The bones in his body roared thunderously, and his tendons emitted a dazzling light like chalcedony. His eyes were like torches as an invisible wave rippled from him and spread out into the void. Ever since this terrifying old man went into hiding countless years ago, no one had been able to find him. And now, he had taken the initiative to appear in such an arrogant stance! He charged straight toward the top of the Heaven Demon Pit, and countless cultivators followed him, rushing toward the entrance like fireflies. Some of the peerless experts above the Heaven Demon Pit seemed to have sensed that something was amiss. ¡°How can there be such a powerful fluctuation? Mihat happened?¡± They looked into the Heaven Demon Pit in disbelief. Following this, their mouths hung wide open in shock The mighty cultivators charged straight up from the Heaven Demon Pit. Moreover, the aura of the old man in the lead was even more terrifying than the cultivators above. ¡°Not good!¡± ¡°Something big has happened in the Heaven Demon Pit! These peerless experts seemed to have recalled what had happened in the past. Could it be? It was a riot! Many cultivators had died in that riot back then. And now, to think they were facing a riot like the one then. Sensing the terrifying aura, the peerless experts above took out their weapons and charged at the terrifying old man. Chen Fan growled. Immediately after, the surrounding void actually cracked open. Some of the weaker peerless experts were shaken until they spat out blood! Their breathing became chaotic. One could imagine how powerful Chen Fan was. The stronger Chen Fan was, the more assured the cultivators behind him were! In their opinion, they would definitely succeed this time.. Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: The Heaven Demon Pit Can ‘t be Salvaged! Chapter 642: The Heaven Demon Pit Can ¡®t be Salvaged! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chen Fan was in a terrifying state. The aura on his body had already reached its limit. After being trapped here for countless years, he had already raised his realm to the peak of the God Venerable realm. Even all the experts in front of him added up were not his match. Looking at such a terrifying old man, the peerless experts above seemed to have gone crazy. One had to know that it was almost impossible for them to defeat the other party. This time, the situation had really changed. Another riot had happened in the Heaven Demon Pit. Countless years ago, an expert had fought his way out from the Heaven Demon Pit as well. That time had also planted terror in countless people. God knows how they could resist this time. After all, this terrifying expert was far stronger than them. The cultivators who rushed out of the Heaven Demon Pit had anger in their eyes. They wanted to set the entire world on fire. In their eyes, this was their only chance to leave this place. At the same time, the peerless experts above also erupted with their full strength, wanting to block the riot. As long as they could resist, other existences would come. At that time, they should be able to stop them. ¡°Those who block me will die!¡± The terrifying old man transformed into a figure that made people tremble. There were a few peerless experts with extremely terrifying auras that transformed into a sea of stars, seemingly wanting to suppress the old man. Unfortunately, the old man was no ordinary peak God Venerable realm expert. He directly attacked and a seal appeared in his hand, condensing a terrifying power that could crush the void. Instantly, the bodies of the few peerless experts were torn apart and turned into a rain of blood. The scene was so bloody that some peerless experts were already terrified. Even with their combined strength, they would not be able to stop this terrifying old man. God knows where he came from! To be able to have such powerful strength, it was simply impossible for him to be locked in the Heaven Demon Pit. The cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit were also extremely excited. Seeing that the peerless experts couldn¡¯t stop Chen Fan, they charged straight toward them. Of course, some peerless experts had managed to kill some of the cultivators from the Heaven Demon Pit. However, they also suffered heavy casualties. At this point, countless experts had already died. In the meantime, Qin Chen and the others recovered their strength. At the same time, the nine great experts who had been by Chen Fan¡¯s side laughed loudly and charged out. Daoist Bailang cupped his hands at Qin Chen and the others, then turned into a snow-white heavenly wolf. He was a demon cultivator. At this moment, a light in his body bloomed, and the black light from his claws was like a torrential river as it forced a peerless expert back. Clearly, those who could become one of the top ten experts in the Heaven Demon Pit were not to be trifled with. The remaining ten great experts stepped into the void and charged to those peerless experts. They did not want to die in the Heaven Demon Pit, so they could only riot. If they succeeded, they would be able to leave this damned place. In any case, only death would await if they continued staying in the Heaven Demon Pit. It was better to make a scene now in exchange for a chance to leave. The rest of the cultivators were like the most terrifying beasts in the world. Even though they were heavily injured, they did not take a step back and continued to kill. ¡°Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t stop the cultivators from the Heaven Demon Pit anymore! The peerless experts were scattered again and again. Their figures fell one after another. They seemed to be about to be swallowed by the tide of cultivators from the Heaven Demon Pit. How could there be such a terrifying old man? Chen Fan was like a heavenly god who had descended from the heavens as he ripped the experts in front of him into pieces. He was terrifying! This was Qin Chen¡¯s intuitive feeling. And now, this terrifying figure had become the nightmare of the peerless experts. If no majestic beings appeared, it was very likely that they would all be buried here. At the bottom of the pit, a monster opened its eyes. It could smell the blood of experts. The smell was so alluring. Madness appeared in its eyes. It was too tempting. The monster immediately moved and left the pit. In the middle of the battle, no one seemed to care about the appearance of a monster, until it killed several figures in a row. Not only did it kill the peerless experts, but also the cultivators from the Heaven Demon Pit. That was why it had been exposed. ¡°Sh*t! A monster is out!¡± The monsters under the Heaven Demon Pit were extremely terrifying. This was something that all the experts in the Heaven Demon Pit had experienced. They knew this, but there was nothing he could do. They could only grit their teeth and focus on dealing with the enemies before them. Chen Fan looked up at the sky and spoke indifferently, ¡°Since you are here, it is time for you to show yourself.¡± His voice was like a rule, and his words carried the rule. It forced the expert out. ¡°It¡¯s a majestic being!¡± A peerless expert was ecstatic. Now, only a majestic expert could deal with this terrifying old man. The cultivators from the Heaven Demon Pit also noticed the majestic being that appeared in the sky. This majestic being had been observing Chen Fan¡¯s weakness. Unfortunately, he had not been able to find it and had instead been detected by the other party. Now, there was naturally no reason to hide anymore. Originally, the majestic being had wanted to catch Chen Fan off guard with a sneak attack. However, the other party left no flaws. After Chen Fan forced the majestic being out, he activated his terrifying power, wanting to tear the other party apart. The majestic being let out an angry roar, then slashed out a despairing sword that cut through the sky and slashed against the wind. The powerful force caused the space to distort. Seeing the majestic being make a move, the peerless experts were overjoyed. This old man should be dealt with very quickly. The majestic being had long been immersed in the peak of the God Venerable realm for a long time. Unfortunately, Chen Fan was far more powerful than he had imagined. Chen Fan took a step forward and blocked the attack with his palm. This palm had a heaven-defying will that defeated that majestic being straight away. Just this palm alone was enough to severely injure the mighty being. ¡°So strong! The mighty being didn¡¯t expect Chen Fan to be so powerful that the latter could defeat him so easily. The peerless experts were in disbelief. How could their mighty being be defeated? Chen Fan sneered and attacked again. He wanted to kill this mighty being. Only then could he leave in peace. The majestic being spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. Chen Fan¡¯s next attack did not leave his enemy the chance to catch his breath.. Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: Escape Chapter 643: Escape Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In a panic, the majestic being took out his magic item. However, he didn¡¯t expect Chen Fan¡¯s power to be so terrifying that it passed straight through his magic item and cut him in half. Chen Fan didn¡¯t even use any magic items. His strength alone was so powerful that he was just one step away from killing the majestic being. ¡°Bang!¡± With a rain of blood in the sky, the majestic being had fallen, leaving nothing behind. He was dead? He died just like that? That was a majestic being! He was only one step away from reaching great perfection in the God Venerable realm! But now, he had been killed by Chen Fan easily. At this point, no one dared to get close to Chen Fan. The old man¡¯s body grew stronger and stronger, resonating with the rules of this dimension. He was already infinitely close to reaching great perfection in the God Venerable realm. If he could leave this dimension, he might be able to do so soon. No one knew this better than him. He had been suppressing his cultivation for a long time. It was because of the different rules in this space that he couldn¡¯t break through. It was already a miracle for him to manage to reach the peak of the God Venerable realm. Qin Chen looked at the nine great experts from the Heaven Demon Pit. One of them had already died. He had been beheaded by a peerless expert, leaving behind a headless corpse that fell from the sky. Casualties were inevitable. No one knew how many experts had died in this battle. But now, Qin Chen noticed the figure weaving in and out on the battlefield. It was a monster that had come out from the Heaven Demon Pit. It was constantly killing cultivators and absorbing their blood essence. The aura on its body had become terrifying. Time was very precious and Chen Fan didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. He had just attacked and destroyed a majestic being, scaring those peerless experts out of their wits. As such, not a single peerless expert came to stop them. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡¯ Chen Fan waved his hand and used some unknown footwork to take everyone away. Not a single expert could catch up to them. As the terrifying old man left, the peerless experts stood firm. If it was that terrifying expert who had charged out from the Heaven Demon Pit countless years ago, he would have slaughtered all of them them. But now, since the old man had already left, they could try to suppress the cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit. The battlefield was littered with corpses. The cultivators in the Heaven Demon Pit also realized that it was time to escape. If they took advantage of the chaos to escape, they might still have a chance of survival. By the time other majestic beings descended, death would be their only outcome. The terrifying monster let out a demonic laugh. This battle had allowed it to absorb the blood of countless experts, making it stronger. Some experts in this space realized when they wanted to make a move that Chen Fan was already very close to the barrier of space. As long as he broke through the spatial barrier, they would be able to leave this place. Then, some majestic beings and even cultivators above them tried to isolate the world and kill Chen Fan. Chen Fan was prepared. He took out a huge nether stone that was the size of a mountain. One had to know that the bigger the nether stone, the sturdier it was. He wanted to use this nether stone to resist the attacks of these experts and break out of the encirclement. Such a large nether stone was probably rare even in the Heaven Demon Pit. To think the old man had found such a large nether stone and even dug it out. It simply made all the cultivators in this space who were even more powerful than the majestic beings widen their eyes. Their attacks landed on the nether stone. The mountain -like nether stone could not withstand such a joint attack and was directly shattered into countless fragments before falling. This was out of Chen Fan¡¯s expectations. However, this was enough for him to leave. The mountain-sized nether stone bought him some time and Chen Fan left in an instant. He brought everyone through the barrier of this space. After Chen Fan left the space, a terrifying cultivator roared with anger. Unfortunately, they let Chen Fan escape. Qin Chen and the others returned to the cosmic once again. They felt lucky that they had survived a calamity. They had finally escaped! If it weren¡¯t for Chen Fan, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape. When Chen Fan returned to the cosmic, he could sense that everything had changed. The experts of the same generation as him were probably already dead. ¡°I, am back.¡± Who could understand the sadness in his voice? The old man, who was originally extremely powerful, seemed to have suffered a great loss. His expression was desolate. It turned out that he had long been injured by that terrifying majestic being. The divine power in his body was flowing away. He was like a lamp that had run out of oil. Chen Fan walked away step by step as if he was looking for a place to cultivate. However, in his current state, it would probably be very difficult for him to even survive unless his fortune was heaven-defying. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what to say. They didn¡¯t want to see this scene either. Chen Fan was extremely talented. If he hadn¡¯t been trapped in that space, he would have long reached the realm of those old undying monsters. Thinking of this, they sighed. ¡°Senior, take care!¡± Then, they left. There was no point in staying here any longer. After all, this was no ordinary place. What if a majestic being from that space came out? They wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to regret it. After all, they had turned the Heaven Demon Pit upside down. Moreover, Qin Chen was worried that he might have been noticed by those terrifying old undying monsters. At that time, even if he wanted to leave, it would be impossible. Thinking of this, he quickly prepared to bring everyone across the void. In any case, they had to leave this place first. They were now increasingly aware of their own strength. They had not reached the point where they could survive after chaos descended on the world. With this, he wanted to bring everyone away. The flame-wing beast tore open the space. Qin Chen and the others entered it and crossed the void. At this point, they were at a loss for ways to make themselves stronger. Moreover, countless terrifying existences were eyeing them in the dark. As time passed, Qin Chen and the others arrived at another star field a few days later.. Chapter 644 - Chapter 644: Pursuit Chapter 644: Pursuit Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In this star field, Qin Chen and the others felt an unusual aura. This made Qin Chen frown. He seemed to be sensing something. In fact, it was getting closer and closer. This was not a good sign. At this moment, everyone seemed to have noticed it. Could it be that some terrifying existence was chasing after them? With that, Qin Chen wanted to bring everyone away as soon as possible. Just as they were about to cross the void, they realized that the void seemed to be sealed. Suddenly, a huge head appeared. This huge shadow was not anything else but a terrifying giant face. Look at the terrifying head, the flame-wing beast couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Poison Wyrm King! One must know that the Poison Wyrm King was no ordinary existence. He was an old undying monster who had lived for God knows how long. He knew that Qin Chen was extraordinary and must have many secrets which were not easy to find. The Poison Wyrm King had once befriended an expert who was proficient in divination in his early years. The latter had been able to deduce Qin Chen¡¯s whereabouts, and they discovered that he wasn¡¯t in the cosmic. When the expert discovered that Qin Chen and the others had returned to the cosmic, he chased after them without hesitation. Qin Chen had already expected this. The terrifying peerless celestial from before had also come looking for him back then. Fortunately, the other party did not kill him but let him go. In contrast, looking at the Poison Wyrm King, Qin Chen knew that the other party would not let him off easily. The other party definitely wanted to dig out all the secrets he had. At that time, the other party would covet all of his treasures. Perhaps, he would not be able to live at all. Whether it was the Chaotic Imperial Scripture or the Innate Sword Embryo, they were all top-notch treasures in the world. Even quasi-emperor-realm experts would be tempted. Thinking of this, Qin Chen wanted to leave as soon as possible. ¡°You can¡¯t escape now,¡± The Poison Wyrm King laughed loudly. In his eyes, even if Qin Chen and the others had heaven-defying abilities, it was impossible for them to escape from his grasp. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. He had thought that he had already escaped from danger. He did not expect that he would once again fall into danger so fast and be targeted by an old undying monster. Moreover, this old undying monster was tyrannical by nature. If he fell into the other party¡¯s hands, his outcome would definitely be very miserable. Even if Chen Fan was at his peak, he wouldn¡¯t be a match for the Poison Wyrm King. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others felt a deep sense of powerlessness. However, how could Qin Chen give up so easily? One had to know that he still had the Golden Blade Catalog on him. The Golden Blade Catalog could only be used three times. He had already used it twice, and he only had one last chance left. Activating the Golden Blade Catalog was equivalent to releasing a quasi-emperor-realm expert¡¯s full-power attack. Perhaps they could use this again to escape from the Poison Wyrm Kings grasp. When Qin Chen and the others thought of this, they kept quiet. The Poison Wyrm King thought that he had Qin Chen and the others under control. His true body was still rushing over and it shouldn¡¯t take long for him to reach this place. Qin Chen and the others shouldn¡¯t have much of a chance of breaking free, faced with his avatar. ¡°Come over here! The Poison Wyrm King roared with laughter. He then sucked Qin Chen¡¯s body towards himself, wanting to break through the latter¡¯s sea of consciousness. First, he would search the human¡¯s soul to see what secrets this human cultivator had. Qin Chen knew that he couldn¡¯t let his soul be searched, otherwise, his secrets would be exposed very quickly. Moreover, soul searching was extremely harmful to one¡¯s era. If the doer was not careful, the victim might become an idiot. That was why Qin Chen was resisting. If he didn¡¯t act now, it might be too late. With that, Qin Chen took out the Golden Blade Catalog and poured the divine power in his body into it. In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from the Golden Blade Catalog. This shocked the Poison Wyrm King. Although this was only an illusion formed by his avatar, he could still sense that the magic item in this human cultivators hand was probably very powerful. Perhaps it could destroy his avatar¡¯s phantom straight away. At that time, it would be too late for him to trap Qin Chen and the others, making it possible for them to escape from his hands. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with rage. He watched as the power of the killing golden spears from the Golden Blade Catalog killed the phantom of the Poison Wyrm King, leaving nothing behind. Right now, they had to leave as soon as possible. This was because since the Poison Wyrm Kings avatar could appear here, his original body was very likely on the way. Moreover, he should be very close. If they did not escape, they would be caught up very quickly. Qin Chen and the others had no way to resist the other party¡¯s battle prowess. At this time, they would only be slaughtered. Therefore, Qin Chen took advantage of the fact that the avatar of the Poison Wyrm King had been destroyed to tear open space and travel through it. Meanwhile, the Poison Wyrm Kings true body, who was some distance away, was so furious that he kept cursing. ¡°Damn it, to think I let them escape. If I catch you, I¡¯ll definitely make you taste regret and make you wish you were dead!¡± The Poison Wyrm King was a wyrm who had attained the Dao. His body contained a terrifying divine poison. If Qin Chen and the others fell into his hands, they would be tortured to the point where they wished for death. The power of this divine poison was enough to make any cultivator feel despair. The pain the victim would suffer was far more terrifying than climbing a mountain of knives or falling into a pot of hot oil. Moreover, this was an old undying monster who had lived for countless years. For him, dealing with Qin Chen and the others was simply a piece of cake. That was why Qin Chen and the others were so anxious to escape. They could not let the other party catch up. At this point, they would just run wherever they could. Of course, the peerless celestial and the Poison Wyrm King weren¡¯t the only two old undying monsters who had their eyes on Qin Chen. The waves caused by Qin Chen were not just this. The old undying monsters wanted to find clues from Qin Chen about this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor, which was why they were so crazy. After all, nothing in this world could move their hearts at this point except for the opportunity to become a great emperor. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t dare to stop in the face of the Poison Wyrm Kings pursuit. They tore through the void and crossed several star fields. As they rushed to escape, they devoured natural treasures to recover the divine power they had consumed.. Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: Dangerous Land Chapter 645: Dangerous Land Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As the number of times they traversed the void increased, even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned God knows if the Poison Wyrm King could catch up to them. Every time Qin Chen and the others left somewhere, they would clean up the left-behind traces of their existence. As a result, the divine power in Qin Chen¡¯s body was being consumed crazily. If they wanted to completely get rid of this Poison Wyrm King, there was only one way, and that was to find a dangerous place where even the old undying monsters did not dare to enter. Only then would they have a chance of survival. Otherwise, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they would be caught up by the other party again. Knowing that there was such a terrifying existence behind them chasing after them constantly, they had to do their best to stay away even if they had to pay a huge price. What kind of place could be called a dangerous land? It would be the most dangerous place in the cosmic that could bury even quasi-emperor-realm experts. Qin Chen and the others were extremely lucky. After crossing the void countless times, they saw an ancient planet in the distance. There were countless stars around this ancient Dlanet. but it felt as if darkness was devouring those stars. The danger emitted by such a place was extremely terrifying. It should be able to stop the Poison Wyrm Kings pursuit. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others continued to advance without turning back. If they wanted to live, they could only do so by putting themselves in life-threatening danger first. If they were to fall into the hands of the Poison Wyrm King, they would have no chance of surviving. In contrast, if they continued to go deeper and enter this terrifying dangerous land, perhaps they might be lucky enough to preserve their lives. The Poison Wyrm King noticed that Qin Chen and the others seemed to have stopped, and their speed became extremely slow. It couldn¡¯t help but laugh. It seemed that the other party had nowhere to go. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have stopped. With that, its original body accelerated to chase after Qin Chen and the others. Seeing the darkness before them that was devouring the stars, Qin Chen and the others still entered without hesitation. The True Dragon, the Flaming Winged Beast, and the others also gritted their teeth and followed behind Qin Chen, entering directly. They did not know what kind of danger lay ahead, but to survive, they could only continue to risk their lives like this. After everyone entered the area shrouded in darkness, they felt their surroundings were silent. There was no sound at all. God knows what kind of danger would be hidden in the depths of this darkness. It was as if no living being could escape its devouring. The stars were obliterated by it, leaving behind only some remains. It was enough to prove how terrifying the danger ahead was. Soon, Qin Chen and the others discovered a figure in front of them. It seemed to have appeared in a flash before disappearing. They had yet to find out what that thing was when a terrifying force injured them. Qin Chen and the others set their sights on the nearest ancient planet, wanting to get closer to it. The ancient planet was weakening. It seemed that it would not be long before it was completely devoured by the darkness. However, there was nothing they could do now. Qin Chen and the others could only try. They had to approach extreme danger to gain a chance to live. ¡°There seems to be a mysterious aura on this ancient planet,¡± The big scorpion said. It was obvious that the aura on this ancient planet was already powerful enough for Qin Chen and the others to sense it. Qin Chen didn¡¯t say anything else. He simply growled, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡¯ They continued to approach the ancient planet. At this moment, the Poison Wyrm King who was chasing after them saw this scene and was so angry that it almost vomited blood. It punched a meteorite that was floating over and shattered it into nothingness. ¡°They¡¯re simply crazy! To think they dare to enter this place. Aren¡¯t they afraid of death?¡± Even the old undying monster, the Poison Wyrm King, instantly sensed that there might be a great danger brewing within. If it was inside, even it might not be able to walk out safely. This was how terrifying the place Qin Chen and the others had just entered was. Just as Qin Chen had expected, the Poison Wyrm King had indeed stopped. It was panting heavily at the moment. ¡°Hmph, hmph, hmph. Do you think you can escape from me like this? Then let¡¯s see who can have the last laugh!¡± The Poison Wyrm King separated a clone of itself from its body. This move was a supernormal knowledge it had cultivated and was adapted from the Daoist supernormal knowledge of a breath turning into three Gods. It had a huge flaw, but the only benefit was that it could have a clone of itself whose strength was only slightly weaker than its original body. Since it knew that there might be great danger ahead, it would not let itself take the risk. Therefore, it created a clone to continue chasing after Qin Chen and the others. After all, it was a quasi-emperor-realm expert. Even though its clone was much weaker, it should be more than enough to deal with Qin Chen and the others. The Poison Wyrm King laughed heartily at this thought. It¡¯s simply clone nodded and charged in without even looking back The clone of the Poison Wyrm King moved forward and seemed to have been swallowed by the darkness. At this point, it could only vaguely sense the auras of Qin Chen and the others. It was very difficult to obtain an accurate position, so it could only move forward slowly. Otherwise, it would have been able to catch up to them in just a few spatial transversions if they were in the outside world. There was another important reason why the clone slowed down. Danger might appear before it. If this clone was lost, the damage to its main body would be irreversible. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses. The Poison Wyrm King knew that the human had some secrets. It did not intend to give the other party a chance to live. As long as it caught Qin Chen, it would immediately search his soul, then destroy the other party. In this endless darkness, even the stars seemed very small. As long as one was close to this darkness, one would be pulled into its depths. In the end, the only result was to be completely destroyed. That was why Qin Chen and the others had landed so carefully on this ancient planet. They didn¡¯t know what kind of unimaginable dangers there would be on this ancient planet.. Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: Ancient Planet Chapter 646: Ancient Planet Translator: Nyai-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-ao Studio After all, it was not that easy to survive. It was also at this moment that Qin Chen seemed to have sensed remnant fluctuations of divinity on this ancient planet. It was extremely weak. Could it be that there were powerful remnants of divinity on this ancient planet? Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect his luck to be this good. Facing the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s pursuit, he had fled into this godforsaken place that was extremely dangerous in a panic. But now, if he could find the powerful divinity remnants, he would be able to check in and perhaps obtain something that could be used to deal with the Poison Wyrm King. Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to wander around the ancient planet. They swallowed natural treasures to refine and heal their injuries while carefully looking around. Since this was a dangerous land, there were naturally terrifying creatures here. If they dared to be careless, they might lose their lives very soon. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took the innate sword embryo out and infused the divine power in his body into it. The aura of the extreme emperor weapon was extremely terrifying. It was instantly revived. On one hand, he wanted to use the aura of the extreme emperor might to intimidate the living beings on this ancient planet. On the other hand, it was also so that he could react immediately if they encountered danger. If they could not react in time, they would most likely die. After all, there were too many dangers in this world. To be able to reach his current realm, he would¡¯ve long died if he wasn¡¯t careful enough. The Poison Wyrm King was a sly old fox. At this moment, it had already restrained its aura, seeming like a meteorite. In this way, the chances of it encountering danger could be reduced. Although it had reached the quasi-emperor realm, it was not invincible. As long as one hadn¡¯t reached the level of the ancient great emperors, one could still possibly die no matter how powerful one was. The Poison Wyrm King knew this very well because its hands were stained with the blood of many quasi-emperor-realm experts. That was why it had the courage to step into the darkness. This was where its confidence lay. Ordinary people in the same realm were really not its match. ¡°Let me see where you are hiding.¡± The Poison Wyrm King let out a sinister laugh. In its eyes, Qin Chen and the others were extremely close to it. At this moment, it also saw an ancient planet. Perhaps they were hiding on this ancient planet. With that, the Poison Wyrm King slowly controlled its body and moved toward the ancient planet at a steady speed. Qin Chen and the others were carefully searching all corners of the ancient planet for the powerful divinity remnants. As long as he could find them, he would be confident in dealing with the Poison Wyrm King. Currently, they had yet to discover the location of this powerful divinity remnant. They could only vaguely sense that it was on this ancient planet. This ancient planet was about to wither. It was estimated that after some time, it would very likely shatter and become star debris they had seen before. Qin Chen continued to move forward. Although he hadn¡¯t encountered any other living beings, he could not be careless at this time. After all, what if a terrifying creature appeared from somewhere? He would be caught off guard. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen raised his vigilance. He released his spiritual will and probed ahead. The Poison Wyrm King knew that Qin Chen had a terrifying magic item that could unleash the combat strength of a quasi-emperor-realm expert. After all, its shadow had previously been destroyed by that terrifying magic item. At the thought of this, it felt a sense of dread. In its opinion, the only threat Qin Chen and the others posed to it was probably that terrifying magic item. If it could take down Qin Chen before he activated the magic item, it wouldn¡¯t be in any danger. After all, only a clone of it had entered the darkness, not its true body. The clone¡¯s combat strength was extremely limited. However, the terrifying Poison Wyrm King didn¡¯t know that Qin Chen was no longer able to unleash the terrifying battle prowess of the Golden Blade Catalog because he had already used up all his chances. When Qin Chen destroyed the shadow of the Poison Wyrm King, the Golden Blade Catalog thus lost all of its power. ¡°Why is this ancient planet so strange?¡¯ The closer it got to the ancient planet, the more the Poison Wyrm King could feel its uniqueness. It had never sensed such an aura before. The ancient planet was the only celestial body in the darkness that hadn¡¯t been devoured and shattered. The Poison Wyrm King had some misgivings. It was better to be safe than sorry. If it lost its clone here, it would be a huge blow to its main body. It might even lose its cultivation. At that time, it might not be able to fight against the other old undying monsters. Even if this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor appeared, it would then not have any hope of seizing it. Thinking of this, the Poison Wyrm King descended on the ancient planet. It walked forward step by step like a puppet. As for Qin Chen and the others, they were currently moving forward. Everyone still had not found out where the powerful divinity remnant was. It would be too late to do anything if they did not find it soon. After all, this place was filled with danger and terror. Even if they could avoid the Poison Wyrm King, they might not be able to survive in this place. Therefore, Qin Chen¡¯s increased his current speed. He continued to move forward. While doing so, he seemed to have sensed that the powerful divinity remnants were getting closer and closer to him. It seemed that he was heading in the right direction. As long as he continued going forward like this, he would definitely be able to find it. At that time, he would be able to use the system to check-in. On the other side, the Poison Wyrm King sensed the auras of Qin Chen and the others on this ancient planet as well. ¡°It seems that you are all indeed hiding on this ancient planet. Kekeke¡­¡± The Poison Wyrm King continued forward stealthily. It could not alert the enemy. As time passed, Qin Chen became increasingly excited. He might be able to find it soon! Everyone followed Qin Chen, exploring the area ahead, not letting go of a single They had yet to discover any terrifying creatures on this ancient planet but they still had to be careful. The Poison Wyrm King approached quietly.. Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: Huge Palm Print Chapter 647: Huge Palm Print Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio He should be able to find it soon. Qin Chen looked ahead and felt that he was getting closer to the place where the powerful divinity remained. As long as he could get close, he would definitely be able to check-in. This was Qin Chen¡¯s hope to face the terrifying Poison Wyrm King. Thinking of this, he continued to move forward. As long as he could get close, he would be able to save his life. Right now, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if the Poison Wyrm King had chased after them. After all, the other party was a quasi-emperor with an extremely powerful cultivation prowess. Even if all of them were to join forces, they were nothing to the other party. Qin Chen was certain that if he fell into the hands of the other party, he would most definitely not be able to survive. That was why he was so desperate to enter the ancient planet. ¡°Kekeke¡­ You won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± The eyes of the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s clone shone with a terrifying light. Its speed was not slow. On the contrary, it enjoyed this feeling very much. If something happened to Qin Chen and the others, it would have enough time to react. ¡°Elder King, we should be getting close.¡± The big scorpion was jumpy along the way, uncertain of what would happen. If things could get any more troublesome, it would be that the Poison Wyrm King had caught up to them. Once that happened¡­ The big scorpion shuddered. The consequences would be unimaginable. However, it was fine now. It seemed that there was no danger here. In the end, they arrived at the place where the powerful divinity remnant was. It was a tall mountain that reached straight into the clouds. There seemed to be a huge palm print on the mountain. It was unknown who had left it there. To be able to have such powerful strength, the other party was probably someone beyond everyone¡¯s imagination. ¡°Found it!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. This should be the place where the powerful divinity remained. As long as he could check in, he should be able to deal with the Poison Wyrm King. The tall mountain was emitting terrifying and powerful divinity remnant fluctuations. Now, he was infinitely close. Qin Chen immediately flew over using the Moving Secret Technique. Although the mountain was ordinary, it became somewhat inexplicable due to the huge palm print. When Qin Chen flew to the top, he felt a sense of trepidation when he faced the huge palm print. Suddenly, a palm appeared in front of his eyes and slapped him. It seemed to have sent his primordial spirit flying. This made Qin Chen feel a fatal danger as if he was about to die under this palm. It was too terrifying. ¡°Am I going to die?¡± Everyone then saw Qin Chen falling from the sky. At the same time, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were wide as if he had seen something unbelievable. One had to know that Qin Chen was no ordinary person. He had long broken through to the God Emperor realm. But now, facing this huge palm print, he was almost unable to control his body. Moreover, it was as if the palm attack was going to kill him. Whoever could leave behind such a terrifying palm print was definitely not an ordinary existence. He couldn¡¯t die! Qin Chen watched as the giant palm got closer and closer to him. The feeling of being infinitely close to death made him feel as if he was about to die immediately. However, there was nothing he could do now. For a moment, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t tell if this palm print was real or just an illusion. However, the feeling of being on the verge of death almost made him despair. Qin Chen could only try his best to gather his strength, wanting to block it. Under this palm, he seemed so small, seemingly not a match for this palm at all. However, there was no other way now. He could only watch helplessly as his body was hit by the palm. In that instant, his consciousness became blurry and Qin Chen felt as if his life had stopped. ¡°Save the Elder King!¡± The true dragon said anxiously. Anyone could tell that something was wrong with Qin Chen. Moreover, the problem was extraordinarily huge. This palm strike was too real, making Qin Chen almost believe that he had already died. Had he died just like that? Various thoughts rose from the bottom of Qin Chen¡¯s heart. He didn¡¯t know how to describe them. He was struggling in his heart. It made him feel as if he could no longer live. However, at this moment, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly flew open. Just as everyone was about to catch Qin Chen, they discovered that he seemed to have already recovered. Qin Chen finally woke up when he fell to the ground. He was going to slam into the ground in an instant, but fortunately, he managed to stop before hitting the ground. How terrifying. Qin Chen tried his best to maintain his breathing, panting heavily. However, there was still no way to eliminate the fear from earlier. He really thought he was going to die. This was too terrifying. How could this be? Qin Chen looked at the huge palm print on the mountain. Was it just an illusion? If it really was an illusion, how terrifying was that? It caused Qin Chen¡¯s heart to tremble. To think he immediately felt the feeling of being close to death when he wanted to get close to this huge palm print. ¡®Elder King! No one knew what had happened to Qin Chen. Everything happened in a flash. Only Qin Chen knew that he had almost died. If he really thought that he was dead, would he have truly died in reality? Fortunately, he woke up in time and did not believe that he had died. When Qin Chen told them what he had encountered, everyone gasped. No one had thought that this palm print would be so terrifying. At that time, when Qin Chen felt the huge palm print coming at him, he felt that time had passed very slowly as if a huge amount of time had passed. Still, Qin Chen decided to give it another try. After all, if he wanted to survive, he could only keep trying to get close to this terrifying palm print. After all, he could only use the system to check in after he got close. Qin Chen and the others felt inexplicably uneasy, but they didn¡¯t know why. But now, there was not much time left. They could only scout around to see if there was any danger. Qin Chen mustered all his courage and once again stepped into the void, wanting to land on the mountain and get close to the huge palm print. Following this, the palm print seemed to have wrapped around him, and another illusion that made him fearful appeared. ¡°Die dog or eat the hatchet. I¡¯ll fight it out!¡¯ Then, Qin Chen steeled his heart and rushed over.. Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: Dragon Binary Star Array Chapter 648: Dragon Binary Star Array Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio No matter what, Qin Chen had to get close to this huge palm print. Only then would he be able to survive. After all, even if they did not die now, it would not take long for them to die in this star field. Thinking of this, Qin Chen roared in his heart. So what if this palm was real? He was not afraid at all! If he died under this palm, he would accept it. With a loud bang, a huge palm struck Qin Chen once again. Qin Chen didn¡¯t even have time to react before he fell into his previous state again. However, this time, Qin Chen woke up faster than before. He flew directly towards the huge palm print on the mountain. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Ding, dong!] [Powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] He had finally succeeded. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how he managed to dodge the palm attack he just saw. He had only dashed toward the terrifying palm print, and it seemed to be illusory as it pierced straight through his body. He wasn¡¯t dead? Qin Chen couldn¡¯t believe it. His forehead was already covered in a cold sweat. The palm attacks had been too terrifying. No matter how unwilling Qin Chen was to be hit by the palm attack, he could only defend his heart. Then, he muttered the word ¡°check-in¡± in his heart. [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in to the place where the Dragon-Tiger Great Emperor practiced martial arts. You have received the reward ¡°Dragon Binary Star Array¡±!] [Dragon Binary Star Array: An array refined by the Dragon-Tiger Great Emperor that can trap and kill quasi-emperor-realm experts. Its strength is unfathomable and has already reached the limit.] In an instant, a ball of light appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. A deep roar that sounded like a dragon¡¯s roar came from the ball of light, making people quite sure of the Dragon Binary Star Array¡¯s power. Even Qin Chen himself was incomparably astonished because the Dragon Binary Star Array was already powerful enough just holding it in his hands. The fluctuations were extremely terrifying. He had ultimately succeeded! With this, Qin Chen had a magic item that could restrain the Poison Wyrm King. It wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for him to deal with the Poison Wyrm King since he had the array. This was also the reason why Qin Chen was so excited. Only now did he know that the gigantic palm print on the mountain was left behind by an ancient great emperor, the Dragon-Tiger Great Emperor. No wonder there was such a terrifying and powerful divinity remnant. When he wanted to get close to it, he had almost been killed by the power left behind by the palm print. If it wasn¡¯t for his good luck, he might have already died Qin Chen put the ball of light in his hand away. The Dragon Binary Star Array was a magic item used to deal with the Poison Wyrm King. He could not reveal his trump card first. And now, the clone of the Poison Wyrm King was already close to Qin Chen and the others. When it saw their figures, it couldn¡¯t help but be secretly delighted that it had finally caught up. Now, all it needed to do was to sneak attack Qin Chen and take him down. With that, it would naturally be able to search his soul and dig out all his secrets. It knew that Qin Chen had many secrets. At this moment, the Poison Wyrm King was ready to make his move. Its speed skyrocketed. It wasn¡¯t too far away from Qin Chen and the others, to begin with. Now that the Poison Wyrm King suddenly attacked, even if Qin Chen had three heads and six arms, it should be impossible for him to resist. As long as it could capture Qin Chen, no one would be able to resist its power. Although its clone didn¡¯t have the full strength of its original body, it could easily deal with them. The only thing the Poison Wyrm King had qualms about was that Qin Chen had a magic item that could unleash the full-power attack of a quasi-emperor-realm expert. It was only a clone now, so it would be impossible for it to block such an attack. Therefore, as long as it captured Qin Chen, no one would be able to stop it. Feeling the fluctuations that suddenly erupted, everyone was shocked. They had never noticed that there was such a terrifying creature not far from them. When they saw that the figure was the Poison Wyrm King, they panicked. However, there was nothing they could do now. The Poison Wyrm King¡¯s appearance meant that it had absolute confidence. And its target was Qin Chen! In the eyes of the Poison Wyrm King, the only one who could pose a threat to it was Qin Chen. It wanted to deal with Qin Chen first and take advantage of this moment to catch him off guard. Otherwise, it would be impossible. This was because once Qin Chen reacted and used that terrifying magic item to attack, this clone would only be destroyed. Qin Chen had been careless. He didn¡¯t expect that the Poison Wyrm King would enter this dangerous land with him. How could he possibly be a match for the Poison Wyrm King? At this moment, Qin Chen had no choice but to use the Dragon Binary Star Array that he had just obtained. God knows if he could make it in time, but now, the Poison Wyrm King was already in front of him. This was all Qin Chen could do. ¡°What is this?¡± Before the Poison Wyrm King could react, it felt a fatal threat. How could Qin Chen activate his magic item so fast? It originally wanted to catch off guard and take him down, but only now did it suddenly realize that it seemed to have miscalculated. If it were the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s true body here, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to use the Dragon Binary Star Array. But now, this clone of the Poison Wyrm King wasnt as powerful as its true body, and the same was true for its speed. That was why Qin Chen could summon the array. In an instant, a loud dragon roar sounded. It sounded like Sanskrit chants that seemed to be able to destroy the world, which caused the Poison Wyrm King to freeze on the spot. After the Dragon Binary Star Array was activated, it turned into a huge array, trapping the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s clone within. The clone was unable to break out at all. The Poison Wyrm King was dumbfounded. Could it have fallen into a trap? The brat had done it on purpose! Why didn¡¯t he use such a terrifying array before? Instead, the brat had hidden it till now and used it as a trump card. The clone within the array was only separated from Qin Chen by a barrier. However, before it could come to its senses, it was sent flying by a dragon¡¯s shadow that almost tore its body apart! Although the clone was not very powerful, it could defeat any cultivator below the quasi-emperor realm. Yet now, its body was almost destroyed by the array. How could it not be shocked? The Poison Wyrm King let out a furious roar. It condensed a blade of light and attacked the array, trying to find a way out. However, since the array was created by an ancient great emperor, there must be Emperor runes in it. How could this clone, who didn¡¯t even have the power of a quasi-emperor, be able to shake the array? At this point, the Poison Wyrm King was filled with regret.. Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: Destroying the Clone Chapter 649: Destroying the Clone Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Poison Wyrm King¡¯s attack collided with the Dragon Binary Star Array. A white light flashed, and the array was actually unharmed If it had known that this human cultivator had such a deeply hidden trump card, it wouldn¡¯t have been so careless. It originally thought that it was meticulous enough and should be able to easily take down Qin Chen. Unexpectedly, even its clone couldn¡¯t escape now. It was likely that this clone would die in this array. ¡°Damn it!¡¯ The Poison Wyrm King looked at the dragon shadow that appeared once again in the array and could not help but roar toward the sky. Although it was a quasi-emperor, it was still helpless against the powerful dragon shadow. This couldn¡¯t do. It couldn¡¯t just let this clone be destroyed here. It immediately shot out a terrifying light at the dragon shadow that was attacking it and slashed forward. Unfortunately, two dragon shadows then appeared in the array. They were almost real and lifelike. It was as if the Poison Wyrm King was fighting against two terrifying ancient-era dragons. At the same time, countless meteors condensed and smashed down on the Poison Wyrm King. Before the clone could react and have the time to dodge, it was distracted and instantly exploded! It turned into blood and mist and died immediately, without the time to even scream. So strong! Qin Chen was incomparably shocked. He hadn¡¯t expected the Dragon Binary Star Array to be so powerful. To think it had trapped the Poison Wyrm King and killed it. ¡°That¡¯s not right. Why is the Poison Wyrm King so weak?¡± The real Poison Wyrm King had the strength of a quasi-emperor, so it was impossible for it to be so vulnerable. Thinking of this, Qin Chen seemed to realize that the Poison Wyrm King the array just killed was indeed not as powerful as the other old undying monsters. It should not be the other party¡¯s original body. What a pity. If it had been the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s true body that had been trapped, it might not have been able to escape and would have died in the Dragon Binary Star Array. Thinking of this, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Outside the dangerous land, the Poison Wyrm King stared at the ancient planet in the darkness, its eyes wide with anger! Its clone had been destroyed! The terrifying quasi-emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. Its eyes were bloodshot. Its original body suffered a huge backlash and its strength had dropped by quite a bit. Even its realm was a little unstable. If not for its powerful strength, it might have fallen from the quasi-emperor realm. If that happened, the Poison Wyrm King would probably go completely crazy. Unfortunately, there was nothing it could do. It had no chance to change the current situation. Now that the matter had been done, there was no room for regret. The Poison Wyrm King swore to kill It was a quasi-emperor-realm expert, but to think it had been beaten up by a mere God Emperor-realm human cultivator and even injured badly. However, the Poison Wyrm King quickly calmed down. ¡°How could Qin Chen have so many trump cards?¡± It was simply beyond its imagination. If the other party, who was very hard to deal with, seized the opportunity, even an ordinary quasi-emperor would be defeated Qin Chen truly made the Poison Wyrm King wary. Even if its true body were to attack, it probably wouldn¡¯t be able to gain any advantage. Rather, it might even be dealt with directly. However, the more mysterious Qin Chen was, the more interested the Poison Wyrm King was. Perhaps Qin Chen had a secret that even it would be tempted by. At this point, the Poison Wyrm King was ready to make its move. It suppressed its injuries, then turned and charged into the darkness. With this, its main body also entered the dangerous land. As long as it was careful enough, it shouldn¡¯t encounter any danger. When it found Qin Chen and the others, it would kill them before Qin Chen could use his magic item. Otherwise, there would be no way to take Qin Chen down. No matter how heavily injured the Poison Wyrm King was, it was still a quasi-emperor. Once a quasi-emperor made his move, Qin Chen would be unable to resist at all. At that time, whatever secret treasure this human cultivator had would belong to the Poison Wyrm King. It knew that Qin Chen definitely had more than what he had shown. That was why it was so crazy and wanted to capture Qin Chen at all costs. On the other side, Qin Chen put away the Dragon Binary Star Array. After all, one of the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s clones had already been destroyed, so its true body should be aware of what had happened. Although Qin Chen and the others now had the means to fight against the Poison Wyrm King, the latter was in the dark, while they were in the open. They would be at a disadvantage. Qin Chen led everyone out of the ancient planet and traveled into the darkness. God knows if there were any terrifying dangers in the darkness, but at this point, they could only hide and wait for the other party to fall into their trap. Qin Chen would never be able to rest easy until he annihilated the Poison Wyrm King. At the same time, the Poison Wyrm King wanted nothing more than to devour Qin Chen¡¯s flesh and soul. It could only hope to capture him and obtain treasures that were worthy of its injuries. Between the two, it was like a game of chess. Right now, Qin Chen and the others had already taken the initiative. They were waiting for the Poison Wyrm King to come knocking on their door. At that time, Qin Chen would be able to use the Dragon Binary Star Array to kill the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm Poison Wyrm King and be at ease. Otherwise, he would have to constantly guard against a poisonous snake that might come out from the dark suddenly. When he thought of this, Qin Chen felt as if there was a knife on his back. In the entire cosmic, he was probably the first one to hunt a quasi-emperor-realm expert while only being a God Emperor. To quasi-emperor-realm experts, especially those like the Poison Wyrm King, they didn¡¯t put Qin Chen, a God Emperor-realm expert, in their eyes. It wasn¡¯t until now that the Poison Wyrm King had already suffered a great loss at Qin Chen¡¯s hands did it remember that it should be wary of the latter. After all, even a quasi-emperor might not be able to injure the Poison Wyrm King in such a short time. Currently, the Poison Wyrm King was moving forward, searching for Qin Chen. However, it discovered that the aura of Qin Chen and the others had disappeared from the ancient planet. Once again losing track of them, the Poison Wyrm King grew even angrier. This damned human cultivator. The Poison Wyrm King then headed into the darkness. This time, it had also learned its lesson and concealed its aura. It could not expose itself now. Once it was exposed, it would be equivalent to making itself a live target. At that time, Qin Chen and the others would be able to threaten it. This made the Poison Wyrm King extremely wary. After all, even its clone, no matter how weak it had been, was killed by that terrifying array in a short time.. Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: Humanoid Creature Chapter 650: Humanoid Creature Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Therefore, the Poison Wyrm King was even more careful now. Both parties were very cautious and no one dared to make the first move. Before they discovered the other party, they would not take the initiative to appear since that was no different from putting themselves in danger. At that time, it would be too late to regret. Thinking of this, everyone hid in the darkness carefully. They didn¡¯t know when the Poison Wyrm King would suddenly appear. If they weren¡¯t careful, by the time the Poison Wyrm King suddenly appeared, it would be too late. They wouldn¡¯t have any time to respond. Qin Chen was somewhat apprehensive. He brought everyone to a broken star fragment in the darkness. This star fragment was incomparably huge. It looked like a star that hadnt completely shattered. It should be safe up here. After all, Qin Chen and the others had entered the darkness for such a long time and had yet to encounter any other living beings. Although some kind of terrifying creature had injured them previously, they did not see those terrifying creatures again. This also meant that there shouldn¡¯t be too much danger in the darkness. Or rather, the real danger had yet to appear. After landing on the star fragment and looking around, they felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it. However, it was hard for them to say what exactly was wrong. Thinking of this, everyone landed carefully. ¡°Everyone, be careful.¡± The true dragon was the first to sense a destructive aura that was extremely terrifying and could possibly hurt them. Thinking of this, it smiled. For the time being, no one knew if there would be any other problems in this place. The most important thing was that there might be terrifying creatures on this star fragment. Since those creatures could survive here, there were most surely problems with the other party. The destructive aura on the star fragment shouldn¡¯t have been born by chance. ¡°What the hell is that?¡± The big scorpion¡¯s eyes widened. He saw a ball of black light in the distance above the star fragment that occupied almost half of the star fragment. Qin Chen took out the innate sword embryo from his storage ring. Holding it in his hand, he poured his divine power into it. No one had expected that there would really be a problem with this star fragment. Qjn Chen and the others had no choice but to move forward quietly. They wanted to see what the black light on the star fragment was. Soon, they noticed that this black light seemed to have a life force. ¡°Why is this black light spreading? Could it be that it really has a life of its own?¡± Qin Chen and the others discovered a problem. The black light seemed to be devouring the shattered star fragment. They then carefully walked to the side of the black light. Yet now, it was as if the black light had no life at all. Qin Chen touched it and nothing happened. Then what was with this black light? Qin Chen looked at the black light, somewhat confused. He tried to walk into the black light but was stopped by Holy Maiden Mu Xue. ¡°No one knows if there will be any danger in this black light. Don¡¯t take the risk to enter. It¡¯s very likely that you will suffer a great loss.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. They should hide somewhere instead. The shattered star fragment was being devoured by the black light. When the Poison Wyrm King arrived, it would certainly discover the extraordinariness of the star fragment. Qin Chen sent his spiritual will into the black light, wanting to see what was within. He didn¡¯t believe there was nothing inside the black light. It was just that if he released a strand of his spiritual will, it would expose him. Still, he did so. As Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will penetrated deeper into the black light, only then did he realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the black light. It was as if his spiritual will had been wrapped up and a mysterious power was entering his consciousness. Fortunately, nothing happened. On the contrary, Qin Chen¡¯s spiritual will was constantly growing stronger. Qin Chen revealed his discovery. God knows why things had turned out this way. Everyone was in disbelief. ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s some kind of treasure in this black light?¡± Only heaven-defying treasures could make their spiritual will stronger. Qin Chen walked over step by step. Everyone could not help but feel tempted, but they were also worried about any possible danger in the black light. After all, they couldn¡¯t see anything in the black light. Even the spiritual wills of the God Venerable-realm true dragon and flame-wing beast were unable to detect what was within. There might really be a problem with this black light. Qin Chen walked into the black light, and instantly, he couldn¡¯t see anything. All his senses were blocked. However, this was not a problem because he opened his Netherworld Eye. With that, a pair of illusory vertical eyes appeared on his forehead, giving off a mysterious aura. The eyes opened and he saw what was inside the black light. Humanoid creatures were walking about. However, they didn¡¯t seem to have noticed Qin Chen. They were like walking corpses. This caused Qin Chen to be incomparably shocked. He didn¡¯t know why things had become like this. What exactly were these humanoid creatures in the black light? No one knew. Qin Chen tried to approach these humanoid creatures with his spiritual will and realized that they were almost all spiritual existences without physical bodies. The world was huge and there were all kinds of strange things. These creatures were probably existences that lived in the black light. Qin Chen wondered if those humanoid creatures would attack him. He decided to try it out. He slowly approached one of the humanoid creatures who was alone. Even if this humanoid creature attacked him, his primordial spirit contained a heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon, the Chaos Divine Ring. It could protect his primordial spirit. Qin Chen walked to the humanoid creature and wanted to test to see if the latter would attack him. The other party looked at Qin Chen. At this moment, Qin Chen realized that this humanoid creature seemed to have no face. It looked like a monster with a ruined face. However, it didn¡¯t go near Qin Chen. Instead, it simply turned around and left. God knows where it went. Looking at the humanoid creature walking into the depths of the black light, Qin Chen finally made his move.. Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: Interesting Chapter 651: Interesting Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen punched out a punch with extremely terrifying power. It seemed to be able to shatter the void. The humanoid creature did not dodge at all and allowed the punch to land on its body. Then, Qin Chen saw that his fist pierced through the chest of this humanoid creature. The other party was a spiritual entity with no physical body at all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen took out the Chaos Divine Ring from his primordial spirit. After all, this was a soul weapon refined by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It targeted the soul. Even a God Venerable-realm expert would probably not dare to let his soul withstand this attack. When Qin Chen threw out the Chaos Divine Ring, he discovered how terrifying this soul weapon was. It killed the humanoid creature. The other party did not seem to feel anything at all. The creature simply turned into a wave of energy and dissipated into the world. ¡°Could it be that these humanoid creatures aren¡¯t dangerous?¡± Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. It seemed that the humanoid creatures here would not cause him any harm. He continued walking toward the depths of the black light. Finally, something in the depths of the black light stirred his heart. A powerful spiritual fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of him. This surprised him. He originally thought that there would not be any other living beings here. The sudden powerful spiritual fluctuation was really too surprising. Qin Chen held the Chaos Divine Ring in his hand and approached it. Then, he realized that there was nothing surprising about this powerful spiritual fluctuation. He saw a broken armor. God knows what existence had left it behind. Qin Chen was slightly excited. Could it be that these black lights appeared because of this armor? To be able to cause such a change, the extraordinariness of the armor should be self-explanatory. It was very likely that it was an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor, similar to the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. However, it seemed that the armor was already damaged. God knows how much more power it could unleash. Just as Qin Chen was about to approach, only then did he realize that a tyrannical aura appeared next to the armor. The other party was far stronger than Qin Chen, probably comparable to a God Venerable-realm expert. The owner of this aura was the humanoid creature that Qin Chen had killed earlier. Qin Chen quickly concealed his aura to avoid being discovered by the other party. He was currently definitely no match for this humanoid creature. The humanoid creature was like an admiral. Its face was no longer blurry, but rather, it now had a thin face. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know where this humanoid creature came from. He then prepared to leave. He had already investigated the situation within the black light. As long as he didn¡¯t provoke this admiral humanoid creature, nothing should happen. Those other humanoid creatures did not have any intelligence at all. They didn¡¯t even know how to dodge. With that, Qin Chen wanted to leave this place and bring everyone in. Currently, the Poison Wyrm King was still searching for them. It was a quasi-emperor, after all, and was very powerful. Not many experts could discover his presence. In fact, it was already incomparably close to Qin Chen and the others. When Qin Chen emerged from the black light, the big scorpion was still pacing back and forth. When everyone saw the Elder King finally come out of the black light, they were incomparably excited. It seemed that there shouldn¡¯t be much danger in that black light. ¡°There are some humanoid creatures in the black light, but they are not threatening. There¡¯s a battle armor in there, and next to it is a humanoid creature whose strength has reached the God Venerable realm. As long as we don¡¯t provoke it, it should be fine.¡± Qin Chen told everyone that the humanoid creatures were all spiritual bodies without flesh and blood. Everyone nodded. This meant they could enter. At least they had a place to hide. God knows where the Poison Wyrm King was now. If there was a place to hide, they should be able to avoid the other party. In the darkness, the Poison Wyrm King also found the huge star fragment. He wondered what was going on with it as it gave it a familiar feeling. It then flew over. During this process, it emitted almost no fluctuations. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Chen took the lead and entered the black light. As long as they could hide, they would be able to set up a trap and see if they could kill the terrifying Poison Wyrm King. The Poison Wyrm King maintained its speed and landed on the star fragment. When it discovered that there seemed to be some kind of aura on the star fragment, it also discovered the black light. ¡°What is this?¡± The Poison Wyrm King frowned and slowly walked inside. It was a quasi-emperor-realm expert. Even if there was danger, it might not be able to hurt it. However, even the quasi-emperor-realm Poison Wyrm King¡¯s senses were suppressed by the black light. It also discovered that the humanoid spiritual bodies in the black light, then casually killed one of them. When it found that there was no danger, it continued to move forward. It seemed to have sensed the auras of Qin Chen and the others. Logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be any aura of human cultivators here. Now that it had appeared, it could only mean that Qin Chen and the others had also entered the black light. Qin Chen led everyone inside. Then, they rushed into the depths. When he felt a fluctuation in the black light, he realized that the Poison Wyrm King might have caught up to them. Therefore, they had to quickly move forward and hide. The admiral humanoid creature next to the armor widened its eyes and its aura became stronger. ¡°Roar!¡± It let out a low roar. It also sensed that a living being had entered this place. The Poison Wyrm King looked into the distance, not knowing what other dangers lay within the black light. ¡°What is that?¡± An admiral humanoid creature appeared in its eyes. The other party looked at it and immediately attacked. This admiral was only in the God Venerable realm. The Poison Wyrm King laughed coldly. It only needed to raise its hand to destroy such a spiritual existence. The admiral¡¯s figure turned into a sharp light and slashed at the Poison Wyrm King. This attack was targeted at the primordial spirit. However, the Poison Wyrm King was a quasi-emperor, so it immediately burst out with a terrifying aura. It froze the admiral humanoid creature before itself. Sensing the terrifying aura, Qin Chen and the others widened their eyes. ¡°It really is the Poison Wyrm King.¡± It seemed that the other party was already here and was probably fighting with the admiral humanoid creature. Qin Chen immediately moved and led everyone into the depths of the black light. ¡°Interesting.¡± The Poison Wyrm King killed the admiral humanoid creature, but the other party condensed a figure again.. Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: Making a Move Chapter 652: Making a Move Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was special. The admiral humanoid creature¡¯s state was very strange. The Poison Wyrm King had never seen one before. But now, it once again destroyed the God Venerable-realm spiritual body. In just a short while, the admiral humanoid creature condensed its figure again. The Poison Wyrm King didn¡¯t hesitate either. Killing this admiral humanoid creature didn¡¯t expend much of its strength anyway. With a raise of its hand, it destroyed the other party. At this moment, the Poison Wyrm King also noticed the damaged armor. It looked like nothing much. It could easily take the armor. However, it was very likely that this was the cause of the strange phenomenon in the black light. Thus, after the Poison Wyrm King once again shattered the body of the admiral-shaped creature, he stepped forward and arrived in front of the damaged armor. ¡°There is indeed a problem.¡± This armor might be a treasure of some terrifying existence. It was already broken, yet it still possessed such powerful strength. Its master was probably even stronger than it. Thinking of this, the Poison Wyrm King took the armor and looked at it. It was unknown what kind of attack the armor had suffered, but a huge crack was on it. One had to know that this was a treasure. The Poison Wyrm King laughed loudly. It didn¡¯t expect to find such a treasure in this godforsaken place. Even if this thing was damaged, it was still a rare treasure. Its defensive power must be very strong. When the armor was in the hands of the Poison Wyrm King, the admiral-shaped creature appeared once again. It looked at the Poison Wyrm King with rage in its eyes. ¡°Put it down!¡± This roar was the first thing the admiral said. It was also a signal. Countless humanoid creatures in black light walked over. They did not have any spiritual wisdom, but at this moment, their killing intent erupted. The boundless killing intent soared into the sky. Just like the damage on the armor, if it wasn¡¯t for huge enmity, such killing intent wouldn¡¯t have been possible. In the black light, there were a sea of humanoid creatures, and flames burned in their eyes. Although they were just spiritual bodies, they did not stop moving at all. They charged straight at the Poison Wvrm King. The Poison Wyrm King laughed when it saw this. It refined the armor and put it on. This armor seemed to have been dormant for many years. After being infused with divine power, it became even more terrifying. ¡°What happened?¡± The big scorpion was shocked because he saw this scene. Countless humanoid creatures rose to their feet and charged at the Poison Wyrm King. One had to know that even when Qin Chen killed a lone humanoid creature, the other party did not react at all. But now, the Poison Wyrm King had done something to provoke these humanoid creatures. ¡°It can¡¯t be that admiral humanoid creature, right?¡± Qin Chen had a guess in his heart. In his opinion, the only one who could do this was probably that admiral humanoid creature. Without the admiral humanoid creature, it was impossible for these humanoid creatures to move. However, the Poison Wyrm King was a quasi-emperor-realm expert. Even if those humanoid creatures worked together, it would be difficult for them to cause any trouble for the Poison Wyrm King. The Poison Wyrm King simply roared with laughter as the aura on his body skyrocketed. He knew that the reason why these humanoid creatures had mutated was probably related to the armor. As long as it had the armor, the black light should disappear. In other words, the current Poison Wyrm King had already grasped the foundation of the survival of these humanoid creatures. That was why they were so furious. However, the Poison Wyrm King could easily deal with creatures like them. After all, it was a quasi-emperor! What was a quasi-emperor? That was the number one realm below ancient great emperors! They were truly below one person and above ten thousand others. Let alone these humanoid creatures, even if it a powerful existence attacked, it would not stop today. Since the armor had already fallen into its hands, there was no reason for it to give it up. Similarly, if the black light and the humanoid creature disappeared, Qin Chen and the others would have nowhere to hide. At that time, it would save the Poison Wyrm King a lot of effort. With that, a pair of green horns grew out of the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s head, and its body began to transform, doubling in size. It now wanted to attack with all its strength and destroy the humanoid creatures. It knew how powerful it was. As long as it made a move, these humanoid creatures, no matter what realms they were in, would not be able to stop it. The Poison Wyrm King let out a wyrm roar. Instantly, the entire world quietened. The terrifying pressure suppressed the humanoid creatures. As long as the Poison Wyrm King was strong enough, it naturally had nothing to fear. In an instant, countless humanoid creatures were turned into ashes. This time, even the admiral-shaped creature did not condense a figure again. It was as if it had truly dissipated between heaven and earth. When the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s pressure descended, the humanoid creatures within the black light suffered heavy casualties. Almost none of the humanoid creatures survived. They were all dead. ¡°Is this a quasi-emperor-realm expert?¡± Everyone was shocked. Countless humanoid creatures had died. And now, under the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s terrifying pressure, even the black light began to tremble. It looked like it would disappear soon. The Poison Wyrm King laughed, ¡°Qin Chen! Do you think I can¡¯t find you just because you¡¯re hiding?¡± As long as the black light disappeared, the positions of Qin Chen and the others would naturally be revealed. At that time, the Poison Wyrm King would be able to make a move and kill all of them. In its opinion, it had spent too much effort to finally find Qin Chen and the others. Those guys would definitely have to pay the price. The Poison Wyrm King was planning to destroy the black light. Qin Chen knew that they were already too late. If they waited any longer, they would probably really die. When he thought of this, he felt apprehension. There was no other way. Now that the danger was right in front of them, he had no choice but to make a move. This was the only time they still had the initiative. Qin Chen said to everyone, ¡°Attack!¡± With a furious roar, Qin Chen unleashed the Dragon Binary Star Array, wanting to kill the Poison Wyrm King. Now, it was time to see if the Poison Wyrm King could withstand the Dragon Binary Star Array. One had to know that the Dragon Binary Star Array was a genuine emperor array that could easily destroy a quasi-emperor. Therefore, Qin Chen didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Since they would, sooner or later, be caught by the Poison Wyrm King, then it would be better to just attack now and destroy the latter.. Chapter 653 - Chapter 653: Big Poisonous Insect, Come On Out Chapter 653: Big Poisonous Insect, Come On Out Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As long as it was to kill the Poison Wyrm King, Qin Chen was willing to do anything. Following that, Qin Chen unleashed the Dragon Binary Star Array. Instantly, the Poison Wyrm King was enveloped by a terrifying aura. At this moment, it discovered that Qin Chen had once again activated that terrifying array. Its expression immediately darkened. Although it was now in its original body and had quasi-emperor-realm combat strength, it did not have much confidence against such a terrifying array. After all, its clone had been destroyed by this terrifying array in a short time. It was hard to imagine what it would take to break through this array. If it could not break this great array, there was probably no other way. The Poison Wyrm King took a step forward. It was as if it had become one with heaven and earth. The power of rules circulated around it, terrifying to the extreme. ¡°Qin Chen, just wait!¡± The aura that erupted from the Dragon Binary Star Array was incomparably terrifying. It could not be inferred with common sense. The current Poison Wyrm King felt even more so as it was enveloped by the boundless power of the terrifying array. Qin Chen¡¯s choice was not wrong. The black light had yet to dissipate, so it was a good time to plot against the Poison Wyrm King. If they didn¡¯t plot against the Poison Wyrm King at that time, they would have no chance of surviving once the black light dissipated. Thinking of this, the Poison Wyrm King laughed. Step by step, it approached the barrier of the array and saw the array power that was circulating in the terrifying array. Then, it slapped out. Its palm turned into a green light that covered the barrier. It seemed that the Poison Wyrm King wanted to break this terrifying array in one go. Only by breaking the terrifying array could it survive. Otherwise, death would be its end. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. The terrifying array was, after all, created by an ancient great emperor. This was an emperor array! The moment the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s palm struck the barrier, it noticed that the array became incomparably brutal. Countless terrifying auras surged. Meanwhile, the barrier of the great array flickered with dazzling light. The Emperor runes were awakening! With a loud bang, the Poison Wyrm King was sent flying. The Poison Wyrm King was incredulous. This was its original body! To think as a quasi-emperor-realm expert, it couldn¡¯t break the array. No matter how terrifying this great array was, it should be able to break it. But now, the Poison Wyrm King couldn¡¯t help but think further. No matter how capable it was, it was impossible for it to break the array. Then, a terrifying dragon shadow appeared. One had to know that this dragon shadow was extremely terrifying. In an instant, the dragon shadow turned into two incomparably ferocious dragon shadows that charged straight at the Poison Wyrm King. The Poison Wyrm King roared in rage as the two ferocious dragon shadows charged over. It immediately launched a counterattack. It slapped out another palm that condensed an unknown amount of the power of rules. It was incomparably terrifying and almost suffocated people. The terrifying power of rules made Qin Chen incomparably shocked. One of the two dragon shadows was actually smashed into pieces and exploded! One had to know that this was an emperor array! To think the Poison Wyrm King had smashed one of the dragon shadows into pieces. Although there was only one dragon shadow left, it still gave the Poison Wyrm King quite a bit of pressure. It hit its chest, and in an instant, the Poison Wyrm King spat out a large mouthful of blood. Its bones were almost shattered. The Poison Wyrm King laughed loudly, with traces of blood at the corner of its mouth, ¡°Haha! Today, even if I have to use all my strength, I will break this terrifying array! At that time, all of you will die!¡± In an instant, the Poison Wyrm King charged out. An extremely heavy black sword appeared in its hand. The moment the black sword appeared, the ground beneath the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s feet sunk. At the same time, its eyes reflected an astonishing battle intent. It vowed to break this array. Only then could it live well. Otherwise, it would likely be killed by this great array. As such, it had to break it no matter what. When Qin Chen saw this scene, a cold smile appeared on his face. Then, he took control of the array. He had already refined the Dragon Binary Star Array before, so he could now unleash its terrifying power. The power of the Dragon Binary Star Array that was controlled by someone increased by a lot. It gave the Poison Wyrm King immense pressure. It didn¡¯t want to die here, therefore, it could only go all out and burn its blood essence. It was the Poison Wyrm King, a quasi-emperor. It had once dominated the cosmic and killed countless experts. How could it accept dying here? With this, the terrifying Poison Wyrm King erupted with a terrifying aura, wanting to break this array. Only by doing so could it survive. Previously, when its clone was destroyed, its main body had suffered a considerable backlash. At this point, it could not stay any longer in the array. This array was constantly becoming stronger. If it wanted to break it, it had to do it as soon as possible. The big scorpion kept cursing, trying to affect the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s Dao heart. ¡°Big poisonous bug, come on out! Aren¡¯t you very awesome? I¡¯m standing in front of you. Why don¡¯t you come out and hit me? Quasi-emperor? Go back and eat your ass!¡± The big scorpion¡¯s insults became increasingly vulgar. The Poison Wyrm King was already on the verge of exploding with anger. It wished it could dismember this little scorpion and grind its bones into ashes. After all, the other party had such a foul mouth that was simply unacceptable. The Poison Wyrm King exploded with a terrifying aura as it slashed its sword at the barrier. Immediately, the entire array began to tremble violently, unable to stabilize at all. Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper, and the aura on his body became chaotic. Then, he swallowed a healing pill to stabilize his injuries. The big scorpion was shocked as he almost thought that the Poison Wyrm King was about to run out of the array. Then, he gulped in fear. Qin Chen controlled this terrifying array and began to kill. It was not easy to kill the Poison Wyrm King in the array. After all, it had reached the quasi-emperor realm and had long mastered the rules. Even if Qin Chen¡¯s attack landed, the Poison Wyrm King could block it with all his might. In this way, not much damage could hit it. This time around, he had to kill the Poison Wyrm King. Otherwise, it was very likely that a huge problem would arise. After all, Qin Chen knew that the Poison Wyrm King wasn¡¯t someone to be trifled with. If it were allowed to come out, they might not be able to survive.. Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: Besieged by Quasi-Emperors Chapter 654: Besieged by Quasi-Emperors Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The most important thing to do now was to use the array to kill this terrifying Poison Wyrm King. This was also Qin Chen¡¯s last chance. After all, without the Dragon Binary Star Array, there was no way he could fight the Poison Wyrm King. Thinking of this, Qin Chen decided to stake everything on this. He fused his divine power with the Dragon Binary Star Array to make it even more terrifying. At this moment, the terrifying Poison Wyrm King had gone completely mad. It could feel a fatal crisis. The Dragon Binary Star Array erupted with a terrifying aura, and the emperor runes shone. The big black sword in the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s hand transformed into the most terrifying power and slashed straight at the Dragon Binary Star Array. One could imagine how terrifying this was. Even the power of the array was affected. Qin Chen had bet all his strength on this. His goal was to kill the Poison Wyrm King before the array was broken. Many injuries appeared on the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s body. However, Qin Chen had also become seriously injured and could die at any moment. He suffered a backlash from the Dragon Binary Star Array and his life was hanging by a thread. Although the emperor array was powerful, the Poison Wyrm King had burned its blood essence so it was not that easy for it to be killed by the array. On the contrary, as time passed, it seem to be able to break the incomparably terrifying array at any time. Wounds appeared on the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s body, and the blood that flowed out was green. It contained a corrosive poison that melted the array. ¡°Heavenly Poison Mystical Water!¡± With a furious roar, the most terrifying poison that should have been in its body turned into the most powerful drop of poison essence arrow and shot out from its body with the goal to break the terrifying array. As the arrow formed from the essence of the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s poison shot out, even the void was vaporized. It ruthlessly struck the Dragon Binary Star Array. Qin Chen was surprised to find that the poisonous arrow had actually started to melt the barrier of the array. The matter simply could not be inferred with common sense. Just one strike was enough to destroy the emperor array. Qin Chen looked at the Poison Wyrm King. The latter wasn¡¯t feeling too good either. After all, it had exhausted all the energy in its body to make this arrow. Everyone was extremely shocked, not knowing if the Poison Wyrm King would really be able to break through the array. After all, cracks had already appeared on the barrier. They could even feel the aura of the Poison Wyrm King spreading out from the Dragon Binary Star Array. If the crack in the Dragon Binary Star Array was a little bigger, perhaps the other party could blast it open and expand the crack before killing its way out. Thinking of this, they could not help but worry. After all, Qin Chen¡¯s current strength wasn¡¯t enough to fully control the Dragon Binary Star Array and suppress the Poison Wyrm King. ¡°Elder King, why don¡¯t we give up?¡± The flame-wing beast persuaded him. It was, after all, a God Venerable-realm expert. If they ran before the Dragon Binary Star Array was broken, they should be able to buy a lot of time. On the other hand, if they continued to fight to the death here, the Poison Wyrm King might break the array completely. At that time, it would not be so easy to escape. ¡°The Poison Wyrm King should be able to withstand this terrifying array.¡± At that time, the Poison Wyrm King wouldn¡¯t die. They would be the ones to die. Although Qin Chen was unwilling, he could tell that the Poison Wyrm King could likely break this array. But at this moment, the Poison Wyrm King seemed to sense an unusual aura. A faint spatial tremor happened. What was going on? Could it be that other experts had descended here? If there were other experts, it might not be a match for them. Being stuck in this great array, it had used all its strength to prevent itself from being killed by the array. If other threats appeared, it might really be threatened. The spatial fluctuations that suddenly appeared caught the attention of Qin Chen and the others as well. What was going on? Several figures walked out. There were men and women. They were like celestials from a painting. They emitted a celestial aura, showing how terrifying their cultivation was. The eyes of the Poison Wyrm King in the Dragon Binary Star Array widened. These people were all quasi-emperors. How did this group of old undying monsters find this place? Qin Chen and the others seemed to have realized that something was bad. The appearance of these people might cause a huge change in the battle situation. No matter how strong they were, they couldn¡¯t deal with so many quasi-emperors. Cold sweat broke out on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead. He didn¡¯t know what they wanted to do. At this moment, one of the handsome men exclaimed, ¡°This is actually an emperor array.¡± The other figures nodded. They could, of course, see that there was a quasi-emperor who was trapped in the array. If the other party didn¡¯t use its strength, it might die. This surprised the quasi-emperors. However, they had come for other matters. ¡°Who are you? If you want to kill me, see if I agree or not.¡± Although the Poison Wyrm King was trapped in the Dragon Binary Star Array, its ferocity did not diminish. Instead, it was still quite domineering. In its opinion, these guys were really detestable. To think they came at this critical moment. They probably wanted to join forces to kill it at the lowest price. The handsome man¡¯s smile instantly disappeared, ¡°You actually took away the Divine Yang Treasure Armor, and now you want to stir the black light? You¡¯re simply courting death! ¡± This Divine Yang Treasure Armor should be the damaged armor that Qin Chen had seen earlier. If the Poison Wyrm King had been at his peak, it should have had no problem escaping although it couldn¡¯t defeat these quasi-emperors. But now that it was trapped in this grand array, it had no way of escaping at all. These figures immediately attacked together, suppressing the Poison Wyrm King with absolute terrifying combat strength. Even the array began to tremble. Having survived till this moment, the Poison Wyrm King was furious. Since these guys wanted to take its treasures, they would have to see whether it was willing or not. With that, the Poison Wyrm King used all its strength without caring about anything else, allowing the Dragon Binary Star Array to land on its body while also breaking the array at the same time. A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of Qin Chen¡¯s mouth. The backlash from the Dragon Binary Star Array was extremely severe, and he was heavily injured. However, the Poison Wyrm King¡¯s body was also in tatters after breaking the array. It seemed that it wanted to escape at any moment. ¡°Trying to escape?¡± The figures laughed, ¡°Leave your life behind!¡± Within the black light, the quasi-emperors joined forces and a terrifying pressure erupted, pressing down on the Poison Wyrm King. If the Poison Wyrm King wasn¡¯t strong enough, it wouldn¡¯t be able to stop it. The Poison Wyrm King laughed maniacally.. Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: Imperial Clan Chapter 655: Imperial Clan Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Poison Wyrm King did not expect that he would end up in this situation one day. To think it was being killed by several cultivators of the same realm as it was. But now, it was useless to say anything. Under the terrifying pressure, the Poison Wyrm King eventually died. After its death, it left behind the piece of damaged armor. It was also because of this armor that it had been to endure until now and successfully escaped from the array. Unfortunately, under the joint attack of those quasi-emperors, it ultimately couldn¡¯t escape death. At this point, it turned into nothingness. After all, it was impossible to survive under such terrifying pressure. The quasi-emperors looked at Qin Chen, and the latter instantly felt a chill down his spine. It had to be known that there had first been the peerless celestial, then the Poison Wyrm King, and now these quasi-emperors. Although the Poison Wyrm King was dead, Qin Chen and the others were still in a dangerous situation. Even if he had great abilities, he probably would not be a match for these guys. Qin Chen looked at the handsome man. Then, the man laughed, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you. Otherwise, this guy would have taken the Divine Yang Treasure Armor away. You should be from an imperial clan, right?¡± Other than the people of the imperial clan, no one else would have an emperor array. Qin Chen nodded. ¡°We are also from an imperial clan.¡± Although the handsome man looked young, he was a patriarch. He immediately treated Qin Chen as an honored guest. ¡°Esteemed guests, please come to our clan for a chat. Let us properly entertain you.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen was quite surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that these quasi-emperors were also descendants of an ancient great emperor. To think this imperial clan still had so many quasi-emperor-realm experts even during such chaotic times. It must be a powerful existence Qin Chen could only nod. Although the handsome man knew that Qin Chen had many secrets, they were different from the Poison Wyrm King. They had the pride of the strong and were disdainful of doing such things. Then, the man slapped his palm toward the void and the black light dissipated, turning into an entrance. In other words, the black light should be the entrance to their imperial clan. If one wanted to enter the imperial clan, one had to pass through the black light. ¡°Our ancestor was Great Emperor Tongbao. This Divine Yang Treasure Armor was left behind by him.¡± Judging from the current appearance of the damaged armor, it should have been left behind after a great battle with other peerless experts. The Poison Wyrm King had accidentally refined the Divine Yang Treasure Armor, which was why the quasi-emperors of the imperial clan saw it as an enemy. Qin Chen had never imagined that he would be so greatly helped by these people from an imperial clan. The entrance formed by the black light was very hidden. No one would have thought that an imperial clan would be hidden in this dangerous land. Moreover, this imperial clan was very powerful and had so many quasi-emperors. One had to know that in the outside world, some imperial clans did not even have a single quasi-emperor. Qin Chen and the others gained a better understanding of the imperial clan after entering their secluded small world. As the descendants of the Great Emperor Tongbao, their clan was called Tongbao Imperial Clan. They could not stop the covetous eyes of other experts, which was why they hid here. In the small world, Qin Chen and the others were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor of being accompanied by several quasi-emperors, as well as being served all kinds of peerless delicacies and top-notch wine. This was simply the most luxurious treatment. Qin Chen and the others learned that although the Tongbao Imperial Clan was extremely powerful, they had no intention of going out. If they were to fight for this era¡¯s opportunity to become a great emperor, they would definitely have to make a huge sacrifice. It was not worth it for so many of their clansmen to die. After all, there were many people who were stronger than them, so they simply hid here safely. No one had expected that the Poison Wyrm King would suddenly appear and find this place, wanting to take away the Divine Yang Treasure Armor left behind by their ancestor. As a result, it invoked their killing intent. Qin Chen felt extremely fortunate. These quasi-emperors probably didn¡¯t know that he was the one who lured the Poison Wyrm King here. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Thank you for your hospitality.¡± Qin Chen and the others randomly found an excuse to leave this place. This place was safe, but if they stayed here, there was no way for them to increase their strength. That was why they wanted to leave. The quasi-emperors from Tongbao Imperial Clan kept sighing. They wanted to befriend the other imperial clans since the latter might be of help in the future. That was why they befriended Qin Chen and the others. After all, no one could predict the future. By befriending Qin Chen and the others first, they wanted to express their goodwill to the imperial clan behind Qin Chen and the others. Unfortunately, they did not know that there was no imperial clan behind Qin Chen. The reason why Qin Chen had an emperor array was that he had obtained it by checking in with the system. The man smiled, ¡°Fellow Daoist, take care. This is the Mystical Heavenly God Crystal. I hope you can accept it.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen looked at the crystal that the handsome man handed over. The aura emitted by this crystal was extremely terrifying. If they could refine it, it would be extremely beneficial to their cultivation. Immediately after, Qin Chen took the Mystical Heavenly God Crystal. ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist.¡± Now, Qin Chen was quite friendly with the handsome quasi-emperor. After all, they had no other choice now. There were simply too many experts in the outside world. It was a huge pressure on the Tongbao Imperial Clan, which was why they had befriended Qin Chen. When Qin Chen held the crystal in his hand, he smiled. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the crystal. If he could refine it, it would definitely be extremely terrifying. He wondered how much help it would bring for the improvement of his strength. After that, Qin Chen led everyone away. In the distance, a female quasi-emperor from Tongbao Imperial Clan revealed a meaningful smile. After Qin Chen and the others left, she transformed into a clone and left. What she needed to do now was to send this clone to report the news. This way, no one would notice her. Just as Qin Chen and the others return to the black light, they felt the aura of death descend. Fortunately, the aura of death was not targeted at them, but at something else. When Qin Chen and the others saw it, they discovered that the aura of death was infinitely close to the tunnel from which they had just left.. Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: Five -Colored Altar Chapter 656: Five -Colored Altar Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone simply could not imagine it. One had to know that they had just come out of the Tongbao Imperial Clan. The terrifying aura of death almost made people despair. Qjn Chen and the others were on the verge of suffocation. Did something happen? The aura that erupted from that small world was extremely terrifying. This could only be explained by a huge battle having happened in the Tongbao Imperial Clan. Such a terrifying battle was simply unacceptable. Qjn Chen was already prepared. No matter what, they had to leave quickly. As the space became extremely unstable, Qjn Chen prepared to leave with everyone. At this moment, a figure flew out from the tunnel and smashed into the ground before them with terrifying power. Qin Chen looked over and found that it was the handsome man. He was also one of the quasi-emperors of the Tongbao Imperial Clan. But at this moment, he was seriously injured, almost cut into two. It simply could not be described with common sense. Qin Chen had been prepared to flee when he discovered that a quasi-emperor of the imperial clan had been severely injured. At this moment, even if Qjn Chen wanted to leave, it was already too late. In front of them, powerful cultivators kept entering the black light. Their numbers were simply impossible to count. Almost all of them were experts and their bodies carried a dense aura of death. It was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen had no way to leave due to the spatial turbulence. Even if they wanted to traverse the void, they could not tear the space apart to do so. ¡°Not good.¡± At this moment, the quasi-emperor from the Tongbao Imperial Clan also saw Qin Chen and the others. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡¯ After that, he came to Qin Chen and the others. At this point, they were unable to leave unless they used the teleportation array of the Tongbao Imperial Clan. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t take long for Qin Chen and the others to be drowned by a sea of cultivators. ¡°There¡¯s a teleportation array in our imperial clan, but it¡¯s one-way. We can only teleport away. It should still be usable now.¡± Qjn Chen and the others were extremely flustered. That was because the Tongbao Imperial Clan was in danger. To be able to injure the quasi-emperor-realm handsome man, the enemy must be powerful. They could easily deal with Qjn Chen and the others. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll protect you. Nothing will happen.¡± Suddenly, an aura blasted toward Qjn Chen and the others. This was definitely the most terrifying attack they had ever seen. It was enough to tear a star apart. This was too powerful. However, the handsome man immediately erupted with terrifying pressure and struck out with his palm, blocking the despairing attack. The attack was filled with a dense death aura. Qjn Chen and the others could see that part of the death aura had already entered the body of the handsome quasi-emperor. His injuries were getting increasingly serious. Immediately, the handsome man spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Fellow Daoist, the Tongbao Imperial Clan is about to be finished. We are sorry to have placed you in danger.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. After all, the Tongbao Imperial Clan was facing a great disaster. Yet, at such a critical moment, as a quasi-emperor of the imperial clan, he still took care of them. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but feel touched. ¡°If Fellow Daoist can leave, I hope your clan can send reinforcements.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen hurriedly nodded. He did not have any imperial clan backing him and it was definitely not a wise move to come back. Even the Tongbao Imperial Clan, which had so many quasi-emperor experts, was about to be wiped out. If they were to return, it would be almost impossible for them to survive. However, this handsome quasi-emperor was so sincere that Qin Chen could only give them some hope. If his Dragon Binary Star Array was still around, it might be able to help this handsome man. But now, his Dragon Binary Star Array had been broken by the Poison Wyrm King. ¡°The five-colored altar is right ahead.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Chen suddenly felt a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation. One had to know that with the powerful divinity remnant, Qjn Chen could use the system to check-in. At this moment, quasi-emperors in the Tongbao Imperial Clan were dying. A quasi-emperor¡¯s heart was dug out and he died instantly. Even his primordial spirit was torn apart by a claw attack. The other female quasi-emperor from the Tongbao Imperial Clan was fighting another quasi-emperor. God knows what was going on, but a great battle was about to break out. At this moment, Qjn Chen could already see the five-colored altar. As long as he passed through the five-colored altar, he would be able to leave. However, as expected, the divinity remnants that Qjn Chen felt at this moment were emitted by the five-colored altar. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen and the others reached the altar, and immediately after, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Qjn Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding, dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] As expected, he could check in at this five-colored altar. He wondered what the five-colored altar was that it could actually emit powerful divine fluctuations. Qjn Chen muttered the word ¡°check-in¡± in his heart. As long as he could check in, he might be able to obtain something good. At that time, he would be able to help the Tongbao Imperial Clan. [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in to the five-colored altar. You have received the reward of the Nine Nether Life-extinguishing Array!] [Nine Nether Life-extinguishing Array: A large array refined by an ancient Supreme. It can kill experts in the quasi-emperor realm. The emperor array is very powerful and no ordinary quasi-emperor-realm experts can survive it. It has an extremely terrifying power.] Sure enough, Qjn Chen had successfully checked in. It was just that he did not expect he had obtained another great array from checking in. This array was extremely terrifying. It was also an emperor array that could easily kill quasi-emperors. With that, an array disc appeared in his hand, carrying a primitive aura. One could imagine how terrifying this array disc was. If Qjn Chen gave the Nine Nether Life-extinguishing Array to the quasi-emperor of the Tongbao Imperial Clan, perhaps it could be of great help and change the situation. Immediately after, Qjn Chen handed the emperor array to the quasi-emperor-realm handsome man. Feeling the terrifying aura, the handsome man was extremely touched. ¡°I, Yuan Hui, thank you on behalf of the Tongbao Imperial Clan.¡± The Tongbao Imperial Clan naturally had an emperor array left behind by the ancient great emperor, but it was a pity that it had been used up long ago. The emperor array that Qjn Chen had given him now had a terrifying aura. If he used it, it would definitely be extremely terrifying. It should be able to turn the situation around.. Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: Eastern Barren Realm Chapter 657: Eastern Barren Realm Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qjn Chen and the others didn¡¯t know who was attacking Tongbao Imperial Clan, but they could imagine that this was definitely a huge crisis for the Tongbao Imperial Clan. It was possible that the clan would be exterminated. Such a powerful crisis made Qjn Chen and the others realize that even if one reached the quasi-emperor realm, it was still possible for one to die. For example, Tongbao Imperial Clan had so many quasi-emperor experts. But now, they were about to be annihilated. Even if all the quasi-emperors in the clan joined forces, they would not be able to stop the enemy. ¡°This is the White Horse Luojia Jade. It contains the attack of a quasi-emperor-realm Buddhist expert. I hope it can help you. Fellow Daoist, you can go first. If I can survive, I¡¯ll have a drink with you!¡¯ Yuan Hui¡¯s handsome face was extremely pale. He was probably on the verge of death. At this point, he had no choice but to give everything he had to the Tongbao Imperial Clan. Then, he left. Many of the clansmen of the Imperial Tongbao Clan were bleeding. They were screaming and wailing. Yet to think among the enemy, there were even their own people. The female quasi-emperor had a cruel smile on her face. Qin Chen and the others watched as a shockwave blasted towards them and they hurriedly entered the five-colored altar. The five-colored altar that seemed to be an ancient thing emitted light. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know where the five-colored altar would teleport them. The only thing they could be sure of was that the five-colored altar was the last path of retreat for the Tongbao Imperial Clan. It should be safe. This five-colored altar was a one-way teleportation array, which meant that they would not be able to return in a short time. Qjn Chen held the White Horse Luojia Jade in his hand and felt the Buddhist aura that brought some warmth. Then, they disappeared from the five-colored altar. ¡°I wonder if the Tongbao Imperial Clan can survive this predicament.¡± This was a disaster for all the powerful races. The Tongbao Imperial Clan hid in this secret space, yet they were still unexpectedly noticed by other enemies. Qjn Chen and the others felt dizzy. God knows how far they had crossed. Only long-distance teleportation would make experts of their realm feel uncomfortable. However, it seemed that they have already left that star field. As for where they were now, it was hard to say. When Qjn Chen and the others opened their eyes, what they saw was pitch black. This was also a star field, though God knows how far this place was from where they were previously. Qin Chen sighed. Only then did he begin to stabilize his dizzy feeling. Everyone was the same as him. They were about to faint. In the darkness were countless stars. The stars flashed and disappeared, seemingly undergoing huge change like the starry sky they were previously in. At this moment, an ancient ship was heading toward them. Before Qjn Chen and the others could react, they had already been approached by the extremely fast ancient ship. He looked at the ancient ship. The fluctuation emitted from it was extremely powerful. If they were hit by this ancient ship, they would definitely die. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen became vigilant. Everyone looked at the ancient ship with caution. After all, they had just arrived at this star field and did not know what it was Qjn Chen immediately took out his innate sword embryo and prepared himself for a great battle. They still didn¡¯t know why this terrifying ancient ship was approaching them, and they did not know if there would be any other terrifying existences here. At this moment, a person came down from the ancient ship. ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you need to travel? Our Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce is very safe. You only need to pay five million spirit stones to have us escort you.¡± This person was chubby, but he was very powerful. He looked at Qjn Chen and the others with a smile. Qjn Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what this so-called Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce was. The fatty continued, ¡°I am Wu Jiu from the Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce. If you have heard of the Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce, you will know of our trustworthiness. Even if you want to go to some dangerous places, we have a way to get there.¡± Hearing this, Qjn Chen and the others finally understood that this ancient ship was especially used to escort cultivators. ¡°Five million spirit stones?¡± Qjn Chen was slightly surprised. Wasn¡¯t this price too much? The fatty simply nodded, ¡°This ancient ship of ours is a bronze-grade ancient ship, so we only charge five million. If it¡¯s a silver-grade ancient ship, it¡¯ll be 10 million. If it¡¯s a gold-grade ancient ship, the price will a whopping 50 million. Even quasi-emperors will choose to board our gold-grade ancient ships.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen and the others gasped. Wasnt this too black-hearted? To think someone would actually choose to travel with this Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce. ¡°Choosing the Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce is a safe choice. We have three quasi-emperor experts. We can ensure that you won¡¯t be intercepted by the enemy,¡± Wu Jiu¡¯s eyes were filled with pride, ¡°Even in the entire Eastern Barren Realm, no one dares to offend us!¡± With that, Qjn Chen and the others finally understood where they were. This was indeed not their previous star field, but the Eastern Barren Realm. In the end, Qjn Chen nodded. He took out the spirit stones from his storage ring. He had seized many spirit stones, so he could still afford to pay five million. Then, Wu Jiu accepted the spirit stones and respectfully invited everyone to board the bronze-grade ancient ship. After getting on the ancient ship, it once again erupted with terrifying speed and brought everyone away. There were many experts on this ancient ship. Qin Chen and the others discovered that there were many cultivators stronger than them. This was understandable. After all, anyone who could have five million spirit stones should be an expert in the world. How could ordinary people afford it? After Qjn Chen boarded the ship, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The interior decoration of this bronze-grade ancient ship could be said to be extravagant. It had already reached a point where even Qin Chen could not help but be shocked. There were all kinds of natural treasures here that could not be bought with money, as well as many precious ores that they could not name. It had already reached an unimaginable stage for them. The big scorpion gulped. This was simply too generous. Five million spirit stones was not a loss at all. If they were to cultivate on this ancient ship, they should be able to increase their realms by quite a bit. The density of the spiritual energy here was comparable to that of a grotto-heaven. Among the passengers, a woman in red was being harassed. The culprit was a malicious man dressed magnificently.. Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: A Fire in the Backyard Chapter 658: A Fire in the Backyard Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The woman in red was extremely beautiful. Even ordinary people could not help but want to take a few more glances. This was definitely not a bewitching technique that she cultivated. Instead, her appearance was already very beautiful. No wonder she was harassed by that malicious man. There was lust in the other party¡¯s eyes, and it seemed that he was determined to take down this red-clothed woman. Qjn Chen and the others turned around and left. He wanted to take a look at the ancient bronze ship. Was there anything else? However, a hand grabbed Qin Chen¡¯s wrist. Qjn Chen turned around and saw the red-robed woman who was being harassed. The woman in red looked very pitiful. Tears were about to flow out of his eyes. However, only Qjn Chen could sense that the strength of this red-robed woman was ridiculously strong. His wrist was grabbed and he couldn¡¯t break free at all. ¡°Young Master, save me!¡± The woman in red looked at the sinister man, and the other party instantly became angry. The red-robed woman grabbed the man, making him feel very uncomfortable. The malicious man slowly walked towards Qin Chen. Countless experts seemed to have been attracted by it. The malicious man laughed. ¡°You want to be a hero saving a damsel in distress? I¡¯ve already taken a fancy to her. If you don¡¯t want to die, get out of my sight immediately!¡¯ ¡°Otherwise, bear the consequences!¡¯ Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s anger had nowhere to vent. This woman in red was extremely powerful, but he could not get angry at her now. Immediately, Qjn Chen seemed to have thought of something. Since this woman in red pushed him out to be a shield. He also followed the steps down. ¡°This is my wife. If you want to fight, I¡¯ll accompany you to the end!¡¯ Qin Chen¡¯s shout stunned the malicious man. Then, he laughed loudly. Good! Alright!¡¯ Three consecutive words were enough to show that this malicious man was about to go crazy from anger. ¡°Someone better not be used as a spear. Otherwise, your cultivation path might be directly cut off, your skin peeled off, your tendons pulled out, and your primordial spirit refined. You won¡¯t die a good death!¡¯ ¡°You have guts! Just you wait!¡¯ Then, the malicious man snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeve. No matter what, it was impossible for him to be jealous in front of so many experts. On this ancient bronze ship, one must not act rashly. Otherwise, one would be captured. Once he left this ancient bronze ship, he would have plenty of ways to kill this arrogant cultivator. She still dared to provoke him. She didn¡¯t know who he was, right? Thinking of this, the malicious man secretly blacklisted Qin Chen. Qin Chen had said that the woman in red was his wife. This caused the red-robed woman¡¯s face to instantly turn red. She was somewhat embarrassed. She snorted coldly and held Qjn Chen¡¯s arm. Relying on his tyrannical strength, he grabbed Qjn Chen¡¯s waist. Instantly, Qin Chen was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t speak. He could only silently endure the pain. If Qin Chen were to seize this opportunity, he would definitely return the favor tenfold! No matter what, Qin Chen was a famous expert. He was also a Heaven¡¯s Favorite who had fought with Emperor-to -be experts, old monsters, and old fogies. Now that he was being controlled by a red-robed woman, Qin Chen felt quite displeased. When the red-robed woman brought Qjn Chen to the side, she whispered, You¡¯re quite bold. ¡® Qjn Chen smiled bitterly and said, ¡± I was only able to help you out because I had no other choice. On the one hand, he was cursing the woman in red in his heart. The thoughts of this woman in red made him very unhappy. No matter what he did today, he would definitely offend that malicious man. It was obvious that the other party would not let him off. The woman in red was powerful, so nothing would happen to her. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen felt extremely annoyed. Everyone also came over. Holy Maiden Muxue and Yuji¡¯s eyes were filled with hostility. In their eyes, this woman in red was simply a vixen. ¡°Elder King! They kept staring at Qjn Chen¡¯s arm. In the end, the red-robed woman had no choice but to let go of Qjn Chen. Following that, the red-robed woman threw Qin Chen a seductive gaze, sending him flirtatious glances. ¡°Young Master, be careful of your backyard. Hehehe ¡­¡± Qin Chen could only reply with a smile. ¡°I have offended you before. Please forgive me.¡± Hearing this, the red-robed woman snorted coldly again. After that, Qjn Chen led everyone away. The interior of this bronze grade ancient ship was a completely different world. There was a spatial array engraved on it. However, no matter where Qin Chen and the others went, this red-robed woman would always follow Qjn Chen. Qin Chen was about to explode. Why was this woman in red haunting him? When Qjn Chen turned his head to look at the red-robed woman, the latter noticed his annoyance. However, the red-robed woman acted as if she did not see anything. She only smiled with a sly gaze. Qin Chen tried his best to control his emotions. Then, he brought everyone to the side. He sat down on the spot and began to meditate. Qin Chen and the others sat down. The woman in red slowly said, ¡± Boring. Then, they sat down together. However, she did not expect that the man who had just offended her would actually take out all kinds of natural treasures. These natural treasures were extremely rare even in the outside world. One had to know that her realm was also very powerful. He did not expect that this cultivator, who was only at the Godly King realm, actually had such a powerful top-notch heavenly treasure. It seemed that the other party¡¯s background might be quite deep. Then, she was a little surprised. Qjn Chen continued to refine the heavenly and earthly treasures, wanting to make himself stronger. After all, to him, he was in this star field and his strength was very weak. If he was not strong enough to return to Jiutian Shidi, he might die on the way. Immediately, Qin Chen cast aside all distracting thoughts and focused on his cultivation. After an unknown period of time. Only then did Ojn Chen open his eyes again. The red-robed woman still hadn¡¯t Instead, she had been paying attention to him. Qjn Chen didn¡¯t know what this red-robed woman was planning. His eyes were filled with confusion. Just what was it about him that was attracted to this red-robed woman? The red-robed woman couldn¡¯t see through Qin Chen anymore. This man¡¯s boldness and background made her curious. However, she didn¡¯t know that she was like a snake or scorpion to this man, and he was afraid to avoid her. Qin Chen wanted to get rid of this red-robed woman, but on this ancient bronze ship, no matter where he went, this red-robed woman would follow him.. Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: Treasure Gathering Chapter 659: Treasure Gathering Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio This detestable red-robed woman made Qin Chen extremely furious. He saw that the woman in red was not leaving. Qjn Chen seemed to have thought of something. He stood up and walked towards the woman in red. He wanted to see what was going on with this woman in red. ¡°Miss, why are you following us?¡¯ The red-robed woman laughed. ¡± Who said I was following you? Could it be that this ancient bronze ship is yours? ¡°Actually, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can tell me the truth.¡± ¡± This place is called the Eastern Barren Territory. Where are we now? Hearing this, the woman in red smiled ¡± This is indeed the Eastern Barren Territory. ¡°However. the Eastern Barren Territory is very big. It¡¯s the collective name of the five star areas. Hearing this, Qjn Chen finally understood. This was the Eastern Barren Territory formed by five star areas. Right now, Qjn Chen and the others were in the Heavenly East Starfield. The five star areas were divided into the Heavenly East Star Area, the Heavenly South Star Area, the Heavenly West Star Area, the Heavenly North Star Area, and the Heavenly Middle Star Area. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen finally understood that this was the Heavenly East Starfield. Then, he nodded. ¡°Do you know the background of the man you offended?¡± Qjn Chen shook his head. The woman in red smiled. ¡°He¡¯s the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan, the Evil Holy Son. His cultivation base is at the peak of the Godly King realm, and he has a sixth-level Hierarch expert following him.¡± Thinking of this, she smiled. Seeing Qjn Chen¡¯s indifferent attitude, the red-robed woman continued. ¡± The Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan is a supreme orthodoxy in the Heavenly East Galaxy. They have three Emperor-to-be and that¡¯s just the experts on the surface. Their foundation is terrifying. ¡°Are you afraid now?¡± Qjn Chen smiled. ¡± I¡¯m not afraid.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid Miss doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m a lucky person. I won¡¯t die.¡± After saying that, Qjn Chen left. The woman in red was a little angry, as if she had not angered the other party. This human cultivator heard about the Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan, but why didn¡¯t his emotions change? Could it be that the person behind him wasnt afraid of the Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan? The secret on his body made the red-clothed woman somewhat curious. Immediately after, Qjn Chen told everyone what he had just heard. The Fire Winged Beast, the True Dragon, and the others were also confused. They had never heard of the Eastern Barren Territory. But now, this was the only way. He did not know how much strength he would need to return to Jiutian Shidi in the future. ¡°Now, we have provoked a huge monster.¡± ¡± I think the Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan should be stronger than Emperor Tong Bao Clan.¡± Emperor Tong Bao Clan was the most terrifying power Qjn Chen and the others had ever seen. They didn¡¯t expect that they couldn¡¯t afford to offend any power in the terrifying Eastern Barren Territory. Now that he knew¡¯ where everyone was, he was afraid. Qjn Chen wanted to lead everyone away. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would be targeted by the Evil Saint Son. In the other party¡¯s territory, even if they could escape, they would probably be hunted down by the other party. Therefore, leaving now was the most important thing. Since they had already offended the local tyrant, it was more important for them to survive. Immediately after, Qjn Chen found Jiu. Wu Jiu was the person in charge of this bronze grade ancient ship. ¡°Are you all disembarking?¡± Hearing this, Wu Jiu finally understood why Qjn Chen and the others had disembarked. He had heard about the conflict between the woman in red, the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Yin Sacred Clan, and Qjn Chen. Therefore, he decided to help Qjn Chen and the others. ¡°Everyone, once we leave the Ancient Traversing Chamber of Commerce¡¯s ancient ship, we will no longer be able to stop the Evil Saint Son.¡± ¡°The last time I will stop here, I will arrive at Mount Donglai in five days.¡± ¡°At that time, you can disembark from the back door.¡± Hearing this, Qjn Chen cupped his hands towards Wu Jiu. The other party had helped them. The five million spirit stones were not wasted. After that, Qin Chen and the others left. The red-robed woman took the initiative to look for Ojn Chen and the others. Qin Chen was puzzled This woman in red was simply a femme fatale. No matter who approached her, they might be dragged down by her. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen looked at the woman in red. The other party walked over leisurely, bringing with him a stunning beauty that made it difficult for people not to take a second look. ¡°Are you trying to escape?¡¯ Qjn Chen smiled and said nothing. They were not fools. If they did not think of a way out earlier, would they be courting death? Even the Flamewing Beast and the True Dragon were at the third level of the Supreme God Realm. However, they were still facing the terrifying sixth level Supreme God Realm Dao Protector of the Evil Saint Child. It was really possible that they could not defeat him. At that time, there would really only be death. ¡± There¡¯s a treasure gathering on the ancient ship. I¡¯m here to invite you to participate. Qjn Chen frowned. Why did a Treasure Gathering suddenly appear? This couldn¡¯t be the Evil Saint Child¡¯s doing, right? They hadn¡¯t heard anything about it before. The red-robed woman seemed to have noticed Ojn Chen¡¯s confusion and nodded. ¡± This time, it¡¯s the Evil Saint Child who is hosting it. Qjn Chen¡¯s guess was not far from the truth. Something must be wrong. There was definitely something wrong with this treasure. ¡°He specifically asked you to participate.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no other way. I can only suffer a little. With me around, he shouldn¡¯t do anything too overboard to you.¡± At this point, the woman in red felt that she had already helped this human cultivator a lot. Qin Chen had no choice but to participate in this treasure gathering. Everyone was waiting for Qjn Chen to return. After all, they also knew that this red-clothed woman was extremely powerful. Qin Chen then walked towards the red-robed woman. They came to the Treasure Gathering together. Many experts were already sitting on their chairs. Qin Chen and the red-robed woman found a random seat and sat down. ¡°As expected, they came together.¡± The Evil Saint Son¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. Even if he had to pay the price, he had to destroy this human cultivator. Since he didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth, then he should die! Qin Chen and the red-robed woman sat down. There were already many gazes sizing them up. The Evil Saint Son¡¯s hostility was even more obvious. This damned fellow should be killed. This made Qin Chen feel restless. Among these experts, he even felt that an Emperor-to -be was watching him. What if something happened? It was very easy for Qjn Chen to die. ¡°Since they¡¯re already here, let¡¯s start!¡¯ The Evil Saint Son spoke, his voice reverberating throughout the space.. Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: Jade Tree Bell Chapter 660: Jade Tree Bell Translator: Nyai-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-ao Studio Qin Chen looked at the stage. A maid came up with a plate covered with a black cloth. ¡± This is the Black Jade Intermittence Powder. It¡¯s the world¡¯s best healing sacred item. ¡® Upon hearing this, many experts were already incomparably shocked. ¡°Legend has it that the Black Jade Intermittence Powder has already disappeared from the world.¡± It was almost impossible for him to appear. However, since it had already appeared, it meant that its owner must have an extraordinary background. ¡°If you want this Black Jade Intermittence Powder, you have to exchange it for a treasure of equal value.¡± Hearing this, all the experts present knew that this Treasure Gathering could only be done through bartering. Immediately, experts were willing to exchange for it. He took out an equally precious treasure. ¡°I¡¯ll use this Kun Peng Spreading Wings Movement Technique to exchange for it.¡± What? ¡°It¡¯s actually a secret technique of the Kun Peng race. This is precious enough. ¡°You¡¯ve really broadened my horizons.¡± ¡°This Treasure Gathering is indeed a good thing.¡± Hearing this. Some experts were very happy, thinking that their Kun Peng Spreading Wings Movement Technique was enough to exchange for the Black Jade Intermittence Powder. Unfortunately, the Evil Saint Son shook his head. ¡± No. ¡® This Kun Peng Spreading Wings Movement Technique was indeed precious, but unfortunately, he was not a member of the Demon Race. It was useless to hold onto it. Perhaps it would even attract the pursuit of the Kun Peng clan. At that time, it would be a huge loss. Seeing that no one was willing to trade. The Evil Saint Child clapped his hands again and brought out the second item. Everyone present was a powerhouse, so they definitely had precious treasures on them. It was just that they were not willing to trade. ¡°This is a weapon made by an Emperor-to-be expert. If you need it, you can exchange it.¡± ¡°Everyone, please take a look. Heavenly Dragon Sword!¡¯ The black cloth was lifted. It was indeed a treasure that was enough to shock them. It was indeed the Heavenly Dragon Sword. Looking at the Heavenly Dragon Sword, these experts could not help but be delighted. One had to know that they didn¡¯t have any Emperor-to -be weapons in their hands. If he had the Heavenly Dragon Sword, he would definitely be like a tiger with wings! His strength had increased even more. Then, an old man stood out. ¡°Evil Holy Son, I want this sword! I¡¯ll trade the Dark Nether Divine Fruit with you.¡± The old man took out a fruit and showed it to everyone. One had to know that this fruit was extremely powerful. Even Qin Chen could sense how terrifying this fruit was. If he could devour and refine it, it would definitely become incomparably powerful. The Evil Saint Son nodded. In fact, the Dark Nether Divine Fruit in the old man¡¯s hand was even more valuable than his Heavenly Dragon Sword. However, since the old man was willing to trade, the Evil Saint Son was also very willing. ¡± The next treasure is the magic treasure of the Queen Mother of the West. It¡¯s a replica of the legendary Jade Tree Bell.¡± ¡°It was also something that I obtained by chance.¡± Hearing this, many experts ¡®interest was piqued. The Jade Tree Bell was the magic treasure of the Queen Mother of the West. It was a legendary treasure that could kill myths and legends. Was there an imitation of such a thing? Even the woman in red was shocked. The moment this thing appeared, it attracted the attention of many experts. They looked at this thing and could not help but be excited. Even if it was an imitation, it was still a rare treasure. ¡°However, I¡¯m not going to trade for this. I¡¯m going to give it to someone.¡± The Evil Saint Son smiled, his gaze locked onto the red-robed woman beside Qjn Chen. Then, he walked over step by step. He took the plate from the maid. Most of the powerhouses present knew the background of the Evil Saint Son. They had also guessed who the bell was going to be given to. The bell was given to the red-robed woman beside Qin Chen. ¡°A treasured saber for a hero, a beautiful woman for a handsome man.¡± ¡°This imitation jade tree bell, of course, please accept it.¡± The woman in red¡¯s beautiful eyes were also attracted by the jade tree bell. This Jade Tree Bell was a treasure that could attack the soul and primordial spirit. Moreover, it had such a huge origin and was incomparably exquisite. Naturally, this caused the red-robed woman to be extremely surprised. For a moment, Everyone started to cheer. He wanted to see if the woman in red would accept it. The red-robed woman looked at Qjn Chen. What can Qin Chen do? Don¡¯t look at me! It wasn¡¯t like Qin Chen was the one taking the treasure. Then, the red-robed woman took the treasure over. She held the jade tree bell in her hand and sighed. ¡°What a pity. I also saw the projection of the Jade Tree Bell in the past.¡± The only thing that existed in this world now was probably an imitation. ¡°Although this bell is good, it¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s not suitable for me. I¡¯d better return it to you.¡± Before the woman in red could react. His body weakened. She immediately knew that there was something wrong with this jade tree bell. Then, the red-robed woman felt a force in her body that was constantly invading her body. She had not noticed it before. In the end, she would probably faint and lose consciousness. The red-robed woman then grabbed Qjn Chen¡¯s clothes. However, he did not expect the Evil Saint Son to take a step forward He grabbed the woman¡¯s wrist. ¡°The beauty is not feeling well. I¡¯ll send her to rest first.¡± He then sent a voice transmission to Qjn Chen, ¡± Little bastard, if you interfere again, I guarantee that you won¡¯t be able to live. I hope you don¡¯t fail to appreciate my kindness.¡± No matter what, Qjn Chen could guess what the Evil Saint Son was planning. The Evil Saint Son looked at Qjn Chen provocatively. He wanted to threaten Qjn Chen. Qjn Chen smiled. The Evil Saint Son probably didn¡¯t know that if he went crazy, he could even poke a hole in the sky. Immediately after, Qjn Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body and struck out with his palm. So what if this Evil Saint Son was at the peak of the Godking realm? Qjn Chen¡¯s physical strength was incomparably terrifying. With a single strike, he had forced the Evil Saint Son back. Qjn Chen took out the White Horse Luojia Jade from his storage ring. This was a treasure that could seal an Emperor-to-be¡¯s attack. He couldn¡¯t care less now. He could only blow up the matter so that he could fish in troubled waters. Otherwise, there might be problems. Perhaps this red-robed woman would be killed by the Evil Saint Son. He wondered how the Evil Saint Son had managed to weaken the powerful woman in red. Qin Chen directly hugged the red-robed woman¡¯s slender waist, then threw the white horse Luojia Jade towards the Evil Saint Son! This Evil Saint Son actually dared to threaten him. Wasn¡¯t he courting death? Although Qjn Chen hated this red-robed woman, he couldn¡¯t let the Evil Saint Son have his way. When the white horse Luojiayu was hit, a terrifying aura instantly erupted. ¡°Not good!¡¯ The Evil Saint Son had yet to react. Why did this cultivator dare to defy his will? He saw a Buddha materialize a hand and hit him. If he didn¡¯t react in time, he would die.. Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: Piercing the Sky Chapter 661: Piercing the Sky Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio Of course, the Evil Saint would not die just like that. He then roared and revived the defensive supreme treasure on his body. However, the attack coming at him was a powerful attack from a quasi-emperor, after all. It was extremely terrifying. It almost shattered his body and he was sent flying. The Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was sent flying just like that. At the same time, Qjn Chen hurriedly left with the red-robed woman. The onlookers did not mind the matter getting bigger. If someone really died and blood was shed, it would be a good show. Unfortunately, after the Evil Saint was sent flying, his Dao guardian flew over and checked the Evil Saint¡¯s injuries. Fortunately, the Evil Saint was not dead. If that happened, he would not be able to report back to the sect. Following that, the level 6 God Venerable-realm expert transferred his divine power into the Evil Saint¡¯s body. At this point, the Evil Saint was already half-dead and unconscious. Some experts wanted to see if the Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was dead. It was a pity that he had yet to swallow his last breath. They felt regret in their hearts. It was a pity. No matter who tried to block such a terrifying attack, they would¡¯ve most likely been dead by now, yet the Evil Saint had actually survived! Qin Chen hugged the waist of the red-robed woman. She didnt resist at all. It seemed that she was about to faint. This made Qin Chen feel quite helpless. On the ancient ship of the Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce, one could not use force. If they did, they would be captured. Immediately, a figure appeared in front of Qin Chen. It was none other than Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu said to Qjn Chen, ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you guys away.¡± Qjn Chen and the others couldn¡¯t come to their senses, not knowing what was happening. After all, what Wu Jiu should do was capture them. However, not only did Wu Jiu not capture Qjn Chen, but he was even prepared to let them off. ¡°We¡¯ll be arriving at Donglai Mountain soon. I hope that you can take good care of the eldest young miss.¡± Hearing this, Qjn Chen was extremely shocked. Wu Jiu, who had an extremely high status, actually addressed the red-clothed woman as the eldest young miss! What was going on? If this red-robed woman was Wu Jiu¡¯s young miss, then why were they still running? ¡°The eldest young miss¡¯s status is beyond your imagination. You only need to take her away. If you dare to do anything to her, you will die even if you escape from the Eastern Barren Realm! Wu Jiu immediately opened up an entrance, allowing Qjn Chen and the others to leave. Qin Chen hugged the red-robed woman and saluted Wu Jiu with one hand. ¡°Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu!¡± Then, he led everyone away from the ancient ship and landed on the ground. This was Donglai Mountain. Following this, a killing intent appeared on the chubby Wu Jiu, who had let Qjn Chen and the others go. ¡°Evil Saint, you¡¯re truly audacious. If you really succeed, the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect wouldn¡¯t have been able to protect you either!¡¯ At this moment, Qjn Chen and the others had already landed on the ground. They had arrived at Donglai Mountain. They immediately hid. After digging a cave in a forest they found, they set up a magic array to conceal their auras. In this way, they would not be easily discovered. He reckoned that if the Evil Saint did not die, he would definitely not let them off. The Thousand Yin Holy Sect would not let him off either. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen smiled bitterly. Now, his actions were equivalent to having offended a great enemy. In the Sky-east Star Field, the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was the local tyrant. Even if they used all their strength, they might not be a match for the Evil Saint. But now, the Evil Saint must already be making preparations. God knows how long it would be for the other party to get to them. Now, they could hide while they could. The woman in red was still unconscious and had no intention of waking up. According to what Wu Jiu said, the red-robed woman should have a background that was not weaker than the Evil Saint¡¯s. Unfortunately, it was unknown how long it would take for her to wake up. Even Wu Jiu of the Ancient Travel Chamber of Commerce was a member of the force behind this red-clothed woman. The reason why Qjn Chen could escape was probably that Wu Jiu had intercepted the three quasi-emperor-realm experts on the ancient ship. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen smiled. God knows how long Wu Jiu could stall. Qjn Chen let out a sigh. Right now, the only important trump card on his body, the White Horse Luojia Jade, had been used. He wondered when he would be able to find powerful divinity remnants again. Qjn Chen slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, no one spoke. They hadn¡¯t even found a way back, and they were already in big trouble. Moreover, their strength was not a match for the other party. They were nothing. The terrifying Thousand Yin Holy Sect was definitely very powerful. If the red-robed woman still hadn¡¯t woken up by the time the other party arrived, then they would be in danger. Holy Maiden Muxue and Yuji remained silent. They did not speak. The big scorpion didn¡¯t dare to speak as well. He keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right. He did not know what to do now, so he could only start cultivating. He had no idea what these women were thinking. At this moment, Qin Chen was still thinking about what he should do. Then, a bold idea arose in his mind. Could he just leave this red-robed woman here? With that, their chances of escaping alone might be higher. If he kept bringing this woman with him and couldn¡¯t escape, he might even implicate her. If she stayed here instead, nothing bad would happen. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen smiled At this moment, a jade-like hand grabbed his clothes. Qin Chen turned and saw the red-robed woman who couldn¡¯t open her eyes was frowning as if she had heard his thoughts. Qin Chen sighed He had no choice but to give up on this bold idea. Then, he looked at the woman and removed her hand from his clothes. Holy Maiden Muxue and Yuji turned away at the same time, seemingly not wanting to see this scene. To be honest, Qjn Chen didn¡¯t have any thoughts about the woman. Although she was beautiful and the power behind her was extremely powerful, all of it had nothing to do with him. Right now, he was only thinking about how to leave. He wanted to return to the cosmic, to the nine Heavens and ten lands. But now, let alone leave the Eastern Barren Realm, even their survival had become a problem.. Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: She’s Awake Chapter 663: She¡¯s Awake Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On the last day of the ten-day period, Qjn Chen looked at the red-robed woman. Now, it was time to leave. They couldn¡¯t wait any longer. The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were searching their surroundings more and more frequently. If in Chen and the others hadn¡¯t set up an array to conceal their auras, perhaps they were already dead. Then, he looked into the distance. At this moment, the red-robed woman¡¯s eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes. ¡°She¡¯s awake! Elder King, she¡¯s awake!¡¯ Only now did the red-robed woman realize that she had been brought here by Qjn Chen and the others after she fainted. Qjn Chen was also extremely excited. The red-robed woman had finally woken The Thousand Yin Holy Sect had sent out countless cultivators, vowing to find Qjn Chen and the others even if they had to dig three feet into the ground. Seeing that the red-robed woman had woken up, Qjn Chen was extremely excited. Now, they were about to be discovered. As long as this red-clothed woman woke up, they would be able to leave quickly. When the red-robed woman learned what had happened during her long coma, she couldn¡¯t help but feel touched. To save her, Qjn Chen and the others had done everything they could. If she had fallen into the Evil Saint¡¯s hands that day, she would probably have wanted to commit suicide when she woke up. Fortunately, she was not wrong about Qin Chen. The red-robed woman walked to him and thanked him sincerely. Qin Chen waved his hand Although this woman had a vicious heart, there was no reason for him to kill her. Moreover, the Evil Saint wasn¡¯t on good terms with him anyway, which was why he saved the red-robed woman. Then, the red-robed woman laughed. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The red-robed woman smiled, ¡°Why? I¡¯ll protect you. Either way, the Thousand Yin Holy Sect has to give me an explanation.¡± Qjn Chen looked at the chest of this red-robed woman. As expected, she had big breasts but no brains. It was said that women were one-track-minded, even the most beautiful of them. Then, he laughed. This woman probably didn¡¯t know¡¯ how dangerous the cultivation world was. Once the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators went berserk, let alone the red-robed woman, they would even dare to kill a king. Thus, Qjn Chen still tried to persuade the red-robed woman. What he didn¡¯t expect was that the red-robed woman walked straight out of the cave. Then, a terrifying fluctuation erupted. It turned out she was at least a God Venerable-realm expert. However, at this point, even God Venerable-realm experts could not resist the experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Even if all of them were added together, they probably still wouldn¡¯t be a match for a quasi-emperor. To think this red-robed woman took the initiative to provoke the enemy instead, seemingly worried that she could not attract the attention of the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Soon, someone discovered the terrifying fluctuation. Immediately, cultivators from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect rushed over. They didn¡¯t act rashly but stared at the red-robed woman. The orders were very clear. They could not let go of anyone in Qin Chen¡¯s party, especially the red-robed woman. Now, even if they hid in the cave, they would not be able to hide from their fate of death. They could only watch as the red-robed woman continued to provoke the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. The disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect knew that they were no match for the red-robed woman, so they didn¡¯t make a move. Instead, they just watched her and made sure she didn¡¯t leave. The red-robed woman was not afraid at all. Instead, she waited for the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect to gather. ¡°We should still have a chance to break out of this encirclement now.¡± The flame-wing beast could tell that the experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had yet to arrive. This also meant that they still had a chance to survive. However, the red-robed woman stopped the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. ¡°Leave everything to me.¡± The red-robed woman was still angry. To think the Evil Saint actually dared to make a move on her. She definitely had to demand an explanation for this matter. However, Qin Chen knew that it was impossible to get an explanation now. When the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect gathered, they would have no chance to leave. At that point, they could only give up their lives for nothing. At that time, even if the red-robed woman had a monstrous background, those guys would probably still kill them as ordered. Even if they killed the red-robed woman, no one would know anyway. Thinking of this, Qjn Chen felt extremely helpless. This red-robed woman really thought that she was some great young miss. Now, it didn¡¯t matter if she was a great young miss or a mighty young miss. Even if she was extremely powerful and in the God Venerable realm, compared to these experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, she was far from enough. If the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s quasi-emperor-realm cultivator attacked, the red-robed woman would probably die. Therefore, the most important thing now was to ask her to leave with them. ¡°Too late! Even if you want to escape now, you won¡¯t be able to!¡¯ A few figures suddenly appeared, led by an old man. Beside him was the Evil Saint. Qjn Chen and the others widened their eyes. What was going on? One should know that the Evil Saint had taken a blow from a quasi-emperor-realm expert! Even if he didn¡¯t die, it should¡¯ve been impossible for him to be able to move so quickly. The only explanation was that after they left, the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had cured the Evil Saint. Otherwise, there was no way to explain what was going on. Qin Chen and the others had never thought that the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would go to such lengths just to kill him. However, he was at a loss for what to do. The red-robed woman had been unmoved, but now that a quasi-emperor had come, she was also fearful. After all, the old man in front of her was a genuine quasi-emperor-realm expert. She didn¡¯t expect that the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would send out a quasi-emperor-realm elder. The reason why the Evil Saint was able to recover in such a short time was most likely related to this. Otherwise, even if the Evil Saint did not die, it would be very difficult for him to achieve anything. ¡°It¡¯s her!¡± The Evil Saint¡¯s gaze was filled with lust, ¡°Leave her alive. I want to play with her! Kill the rest!¡¯ The Evil Saint¡¯s inner demon had to be destroyed, and the best way to do that was to get rid of Qjn Chen right in front of him. Upon seeing this, Qjn Chen and the others felt their hearts turn cold. One had to know that the current Qin Chen didn¡¯t even have the capital to fight with the other party. They had no way to stop the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm elder. He felt endless sorrow in his heart but there was nothing he could do now. After all, things had already reached this stage.. Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: Could It Be Fake? Chapter 664: Could It Be Fake? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Impudent!¡¯ The red-robed woman was not afraid of the quasi-emperor expert. Instead, she berated the other party sternly. It seemed that nothing could make her feel fear. ¡°How dare you treat me like this!¡¯ The Evil Saint seemed to have heard something funny and could not help but laugh out loud. The quasi-emperor-realm elder¡¯s face was ashen. This red-robed woman really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. It seemed like she really was courting death. ¡°Do you know who I am? I am the first supreme elder of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, Du Qing! Du Qing¡¯s fame could be said to have been fueled by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Having cultivated to this day, he had killed countless enemies. That was why he had become so powerful. The red-robed woman in front of him was really not afraid of death. To think she didn¡¯t know who he was. The red-robed woman only said indifferently, ¡°What elder? Never heard of it.¡± The Evil Saint liked this kind of crazy woman. Such a person gave him immense pleasure. ¡°Elder Du, make you move quickly!¡¯ He couldn¡¯t wait to play with this red-robed woman. Although the red-robed woman was powerful, in front of the quasi-emperor-realm Du Qjng, the latter could easily take care of her. With that, the quasi-emperor-realm elder burst out with an earth-shattering pressure. It was extremely terrifying and made people¡¯s hearts tremble. The expression of the red-robed woman didn¡¯t change. It was as though she wouldn¡¯t feel fear even if an ancient great emperor was before her. ¡°A person like you can at most be considered as the weakest among the quasi-emperors, right?¡± Du Qjng¡¯s expression changed drastically. He was about to lose control due to his anger. ¡°Do you know what you are saying?¡¯ Even the Evil Saint did not dare to interrupt at this moment. Du Qjng was clearly on the verge of exploding with anger. The hearts of Qjn Chen and the others had already turned cold. This red-robed woman was really not afraid of death. She probably didn¡¯t know what death was. To think she was so arrogant that she even provoked a quasi-emperor. Old undying monsters like Du Qing were like a barrel of explosives that would explode at the slightest touch. Her actions were no different from courting death. Qjn Chen was truly confused. He simply couldn¡¯t fathom what this red-robed woman wanted to do but now, he could only watch. A trace of regret appeared in his heart as he wondered why he had chosen to save such a lunatic. If they had abandoned this red-robed woman earlier, they would definitely have been able to leave alive. Even the true dragon and the flame-wing beast wouldn¡¯t dare to provoke a quasi-emperor like this. Was she thinking that death wasn¡¯t coming fast enough and she wanted to stab herself twice? At this point, Du Qjng was completely enraged. The red-robed woman¡¯s arrogance made him seriously want to kill her. The Evil Saint could feel the powerful killing intent coming from Du Qjng. The killing intent was almost about to condense into something corporeal. Even if the red-robed woman plead for forgiveness now, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to survive. She had to pay the price for her arrogance. At the thought of this, Qin Chen had already given up struggling. Right now, he did not have any trump cards in his hands. Facing the quasi-emperor-realm elder, there was no way he could escape. Moreover, they were right under the other party¡¯s nose. If this wasn¡¯t courting death, then what was? The red-robed woman wanted to continue speaking, but Du Ojng roared. ¡°Kneel!¡¯ In an instant, a terrifying pressure descended on Qin Chen and the others. Even the red-robed woman, no matter how unruly she was, knelt at this moment. Her knees smashed a deep depression in the ground. It was even more so for Qjn Chen and the others. It was very difficult for them to even support their bodies. The red-robed woman seemed to be unable to suppress the anger in her heart. It couldn¡¯t be helped. This red-robed woman had already offended Du Qjng to the core. ¡°You guys have really broadened my horizons. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a fearless person in this world.¡± Du Qjng immediately attacked. A beam of sword light flew out of his eyes. It seemed to be able to tear the void apart and shatter the galaxy. One could imagine how terrifying this attack was. If he wanted to kill Qjn Chen and the others, it would be too easy, as easy as crushing an ant. Faced with Du Qjng¡¯s attack, the red-robed woman revealed a mocking smile. Qin Chen and the others could feel the terrifying sword descending and felt as if their hearts were about to stop beating. Even if Qjn Chen had many techniques, he was still unable to withstand this terrifying attack. If this sword fell, they would probably die straight away in the sword light. Then, the red-robed woman laughed, ¡°This sword attack of yours is just so-so. It¡¯s far inferior to the sword attack of that person I¡¯ve seen before.¡± Although Du Qjng was furious, he simply took it that the red-robed woman was already dead. Under his sword, even if the red-robed woman had three heads and six arms, it was impossible for her to survive and escape. The terrifying sword light landed on Qjn Chen and the others. The first to bear the brunt was the red-robed woman. She had no intention of dodging. Instead, she stood right in front of the sword attack. Following this, the red-robed woman who should have been cut into two was uninjured. On the contrary, a terrifying heavenly-god-like figure erupted from her body. God knows what this figure was, but it was probably her amulet. When the sword light approached the red-robed woman, it was crushed bit by bit by the terrifying heavenly-god-like figure. Nothing was left. It was simply too terrifying. Before Du Qjng could react, the terrifying figure attacked him. Instantly, Du Qjng felt as if he was about to die. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent tlY1ng. What was going on? Qjn Chen and the others gasped. They had thought that they were about to die. But now, not only did they not die, Du Qjng seemed to be on the verge of death instead. He had been seriously injured. If Du Qing had been just a little weaker, he would probably have been directly blown up. ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a quasi-emperor. How could he be severely injured?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be fake, right?¡¯ In fact, an ordinary person in the quasi-emperor realm would not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack. Qin Chen and the others wondered what the background of the figure that the red-robed woman had created was. To think she had such a terrifying trump card. No wonder she was not afraid at all. This was her trump card. Qin Chen and the others were not the only ones who were shocked. The other cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were shocked as well. This time, the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had sent out countless disciples.. Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: Ji Family Chapter 665: Ji Family Translator: Nyai-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-ao Studio The disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were equally shocked. That was their grand elder. As a quasi-emperor, how could he lose? Moreover, he had almost died. The disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were truly dumbfounded by the fact that their supreme grand elder had been seriously injured They didn¡¯t even know what had happened. They were truly terrified. After all, they had seen with their own eyes that the terrifying supreme grand elder of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was no match for the red-robed woman. At this point, they were extremely wary of the red-robed woman since they were no match for the other party. Even their quasi-emperor-realm expert had been severely injured. As such, even if they joined forces, they were still not a match for the other party. ¡°You are¡­ Someone from the Ji family?¡¯ The supreme grand elder of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect seemed to have come to a sudden realization and his face was as white as a sheet. He wasn¡¯t sure if the red-robed woman was from the Ji family. The red-robed woman sneered, ¡°You know the Ji family?¡¯ Immediately, Du Qjng could not help but kneel. To him, no, for the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect, the Ji family was like a huge shadow. They did not dare to have any thoughts about it. The terrifying figure that had suddenly appeared on the red-robed woman reminded him of the Ji family¡¯s peerless expert, Ji Tongtian. One had to know that Ji Tongtian was not someone he could compare to. The other party could easily finish him off with a casual move. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been heavily injured in an instant. Only Ji Tongtian had such a divine ability. ¡°It¡¯s over. We¡¯ve offended someone we can¡¯t this time.¡± Immediately, Du Qjng could not help but hate the Evil Saint in his heart. The Evil Saint was also stunned. The Ji family? To think he dared to lay a hand on someone from the Ji family and even wanted to force himself on this red-robed woman? Then, he quickly reacted and knelt as well. At this moment, the figure behind the red-robed woman returned to her body. In her opinion, since the puny ¡°supreme grand elder¡± dared to attack her, he was simply courting death. If something really happened to her, the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect would probably be wiped out. ¡°You guys are really bold! You actually dare to attack me!¡¯ Du Qjng¡¯s forehead was already covered in sweat. Even if this red-robed woman wasn¡¯t an important figure in the Ji family, the Ji family would definitely be enraged if word of what had happened today spread. At that time, the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect would have to pay a huge price. However, the red-robed woman was still angry. She then looked at the Evil Saint. It was this guy who had drugged her and almost made her lose her virginity. She had yet to settle this score with this fellow. Then, the red-robed woman picked up a random knife from the ground and threw it at the Evil Saint. ¡°Castrate yourself.¡± The Evil Saint trembled in fear when he heard those two words. However, there was no other way. He could currently be said to be dead for sure. If he could survive by castration, then what else could he not do? The Evil Saint picked up the knife on the ground with a trembling hand and gritted his teeth. ¡°Ah!¡¯ Screams rang out. The red-robed woman turned her head away. Qin Chen shook his head. This red-robed woman was truly too terrifying. This was even more painful than killing the Evil Saint. However, the red-robed woman was clearly not done venting her anger. Then, she said to Du Qjng, ¡°Cripple this fellow and I¡¯ll let bygones be bygones.¡± The Evil Saint was about to go crazy from the pain. Du Qjng did not hesitate at all. All of this was because of the Evil Saint. He should have killed him long ago. Following that, the Evil Saint wailed in pain again as his meridians were all crippled With this, even if he wanted to embark on the path of cultivation again, it would definitely be very difficult. It had to be said that the Evil Saint was truly unlucky to have encountered someone from the Ji Family. It was already very good that he was able to survive. It couldn¡¯t be helped, The Evil Saint had done something very serious, after all. ¡°Miss, do you have any other instructions?¡± The red-robed woman had almost finished venting her anger. Qjn Chen and the others didn¡¯t know how powerful the Ji family was, but the fact that it could scare a quasi-emperor so easily was enough to show how powerful the woman¡¯s background was. The red-robed woman waved her hand, signaling Du Qing and the others to scram. She didn¡¯t want to see the people of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect anymore. Similarly, the Evil Saint was taken away. After all, since the red-robed woman had already crippled him, she would not make things difficult for him anymore. She wanted him to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life and be tortured to death. Qjn Chen gasped. As expected of a woman. Just the thought of such a terrifying revenge made him feel despair. She was simply a femme fatale. One must not be deceived by her appearance. The Evil Saint had already fainted. When he woke up again, he would find that he was no longer a disciple of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. But now, the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were almost scared out of their wits. It would be impossible for them to forget today for the rest of their lives. Above the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was the Ji family. They definitely couldn¡¯t afford to offend it. Even the powerful Thousand Yin Holy Sect was nothing before the Ji family. This was the strength of the Ji family. After Du Qjng and the others left, Qjn Chen wanted to leave with the others as Since Du Qing had been forced to retreat, it was time for them to leave. If they continued to stay here, they might never return to the nine Heavens and ten lands or the cosmic they came from. Unexpectedly, the red-robed woman walked toward Qjn Chen. Qjn Chen watched as she walked toward him step by step, not knowing what to say. ¡°You¡¯re very talented. Do you want to come to my Ji family? I can get the best treatment for you.¡± This was also the way the red-robed woman could repay her kindness. An eye for an eye. Although she was quite an extremist in her actions, she was still a person with principles. Kindness must be repaid, and hatred must be repaid as well. She didn¡¯t want to owe Qjn Chen a favor. Qjn Chen simply laughed. No matter how powerful the Ji family was, it was not his home. What he wanted was to return to the cosmic, the nine Heavens and ten lands where he came from. The red-robed woman was a little surprised. She didn¡¯t know what Qin Chen was laughing about. ¡°Thank you, but I¡¯d like to refuse. I¡¯m used to being a lone cultivator. Do allow me to stay alone. Thank you for your kindness..¡± Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: Jade Pendant Chapter 666: Jade Pendant Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The red-robed woman did not expect this. Did this human cultivator know how terrifying the Ji family was? To think he chose to refuse her offer. One should know that if the Thousand Yin Holy Sect dared to lay a hand on her, their blood would flow like a river. With this, one could imagine how terrifying the Ji family was. After that, Qin Chen turned around and left with everyone. There was no need to stay here any longer. He wanted to continue searching for a way to return. He had his reasons for going back, so it was impossible for him to stay in the Ji family. Furthermore, he wasn¡¯t used to relying on others¡¯ charity. To Qin Chen, he had to obtain everything he wanted himself. At this point, he wanted to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the red-robed woman stopped him and handed a jade pendant to him as she said, ¡°If you have any trouble in the future, feel free to look for me. As long as you carry this jade pendant. The Ji family will definitely help you, even if I¡¯m not around.¡± Qin Chen kept the jade pendant and smiled. Even if he was in great danger or trouble, he would never ask the Ji family for Following that, Qin Chen led everyone away. As for the red-robed woman, she only looked at Qin Chen¡¯s back, and no one knew what she was thinking. Qin Chen gave her a very special feeling. Following this, she wanted to leave as well. Since it seemed that the debt between her and Qin Chen had been cleared, there was no reason for her to stay by his side anymore. The red-robed woman went on her way, to an unknown place. One should know that she was an amulet. As long as she was around, the people of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect wouldn¡¯t dare to attack Qin Chen and the others. After all, she had a very powerful background. She was a member of the Ji family. If others wanted to lay a hand on Qin Chen and the others, they would have to think twice before deciding whether they could withstand her anger. Qin Chen and the others had saved her life, after all. Currently, Qin Chen and the others were already very far away, though still in the territory of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Now, they had to leave carefully so as not to attract the attention of the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Otherwise, they might not be able to leave. Qin Chen and the others wanted to find a way home. Judging from current circumstances, this was simply impossible, but QinChen had no choice but to endure it now. Next, they still had to carefully avoid the pursuit. He was quite sure that with Du Qing¡¯s personality, he probably wouldn¡¯t let them off. Although the other party couldn¡¯t kill them openly, he could still make a move in the dark. If Qin Chen and the others were not careful now, they might be found and it was very likely that they would pay the price in blood. He didn¡¯t even need to guess to know that the Thousand Yin Holy Sect wouldn¡¯t let them off. They couldn¡¯t make a move against the red-robed woman, but how could they not kill Qin Chen and the others? This time, Du Qing had lost all his face, after all. Apart from the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, Qin Chen and the others had also seen his moment of embarrassment. Therefore, only death awaited them. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen led everyone around Donglai Mountain in circles. A few days later, Qin Chen tore open the void and crossed over. They couldn¡¯t let such a terrifying major faction discover them. Indeed, it was almost as Qin Chen had guessed. They were now being sought after. Experts were lying in ambush in the surroundings. As long as Qin Chen and the others appeared, they would be slaughtered. This was no joke. The Thousand Yin Holy Sect had established itself almost entirely through killings. If they wanted to deal with Qin Chen, it would naturally be an easy task. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Chen naturally wouldn¡¯t stay any longer. At this point, what he wanted the most was to find a place to rest properly. However, he probably did not have much power now. Along the way, they met quite a few cultivators from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Those people added together were a very powerful force. It was enough to imagine how terrifying they were. And all of the cultivators that they had encountered added up was probably not even a single fraction of the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s size. Just the red-robed woman had been able to scare Du Qing to death, which was quite apparent how useful the former¡¯s symbol was. However, they could only hide for a while, not forever. The most important thing was for Qin Chen and the others to face it themselves. Otherwise, if he kept relying on the power of external objects, he would not be able to improve at all. At that time, he might not even be able to get spirit stones and find the source. After all, they no longer had any special trump cards. Having been implicated in the string of events, Qin Chen and the others were finally going to make their moves. The others were waiting for Qin Chen¡¯s signal. Qin Chen knew that the quasi-emperor-realm expert would never let them off easily. Just as he tore through the void and left, he saw that the amulet given to him by the red-robed woman didn¡¯t even have much power left. Thinking of the many experts chasing after them, Qin Chen quickly said, ¡°Hurry up and leave.¡± The big scorpion and the others also knew that once those terrifying human cultivators went crazy, they would all go berserk. That was why they felt some regret that they were still too late. As time passed, Qin Chen¡¯s aura was constantly changing positions. At this point, they decided to stay in one place for the time being until the other party shared their location. However, there was no problem at all. It seemed that those powerful cultivators could be kept for use. ¡°Chase after them. Don¡¯t leave any of them alive.¡± A voice rang out, and cultivators from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect moved out, continuing to chase after Qin Chen and the others. They couldn¡¯t deal with Qin Chen and the others openly, so they could only secretly attack. After all, Qin Chen and the others had seen Du Qing make a fool of himself. Du Qing would definitely not let this news spread. Qin Chen and the others were currently the only outsiders who had seen Du Qing make a fool of himself. It was very likely that they would be hunted down. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect the other party to come so quickly. It was only now that they realized that the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had already infiltrated this area. As expected of one of the top forces in the Sky-east Star Field. It was indeed powerful. If not for the cautiousness of Qin Chen and the others to have slipped away beforehand, it was most likely that a big problem would have already occurred and they would have been found out long ago. If that happened, the final result was self-evident.. Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: Coun.terattack Chapter 667: Coun.terattack Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Now, Qin Chen and the others had already left the red-robed woman. ¡®Therefore, it was very likely that they would be hunted down by the other party. The Thousand Yin Holy Sect had countless cultivators and disciples. They hadn¡¯t sent out too many people to hunt down Qin Chen and the others because, without the red-robed woman, the latter¡¯s strength was nothing. Moreover, if too many people were mobilized, they might be unable to hide the news. After all, there were countless other cultivators in the Sky-east Star Field. If the woman in red learned about this, they would be in trouble. Qin Chen already knew that he couldn¡¯t escape from this predicament, so they might as well go all out. They were planning to kill some cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. After all, since these Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators wanted to deal with them, it wasn¡¯t a big deal for Qin Chen and the others to kill them either. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen had the flame-wing beast and the true dragon adjust their strength to their peak After all, these two were the most powerful ones among them, already God Venerable-realm experts. It should not take much effort for them to kill other cultivators. The most important thing now was to kill some of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators as a warning to the remaining cultivators. It was to tell them that if they dared to make a move, their outcome would definitely not be good. This was what Qin Chen was thinking. With that, he soon gave himself away, and the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect who were chasing after them were pleasantly surprised. ¡°Hurry! ¡°They should be up ahead!¡± ¡°Whoever takes them down will be given great credit! The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were very excited. Greed flashed in the eyes of the one-eyed expert who was the leader. Wouldn¡¯t it be wonderful if he could take all the credit for himself? Either way, the others behind him had not caught up yet. It was a good time for him to make a contribution! Following this, the one-eyed man led a group of cultivators from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect and chased after Qin Chen¡¯s group. However, what they did not know was that Qin Chen and the others were not ordinary people. Just the flame-wing beast and the true dragon alone had already reached the God Venerable realm. Among the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect that had gone after Qin Chen and the others this time, only the one-eyed man was a God Venerable-realm expert. The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect stepped into an array under the lead of the one-eyed man. Immediately, the array was activated and operated. It was hard to imagine what would happen to the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. No matter how stupid the one-eyed man was, he still came to his senses at this point, If those human cultivators had been running for their lives, how could they set up an array? The only possibility was that they had stopped running. Immediately, the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect felt a terrifying fluctuation. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon charged out. In an instant, the only eye of the one-eyed man was filled with fear. Two God Venerable-realm experts! Moreover, their aura fluctuations did not seem to be weaker than his. One had to know that there weren¡¯t many God Venerable-realm experts in the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. The one-eyed dragon had only broken through to the God Venerable-realm by chance. He had completely relied on external forces. And now, he was facing two God Venerable-realm experts alone. It was simply a one-way trip to hell. However, there was nothing else he could do. After all, they were already trapped by the array. With this, the only God Venerable-realm expert among the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators that had come this time started fighting with the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. Qin Chen¡¯s heart also calmed down a lot. Fortunately, there was only one God Venerable-realm expert among these cultivators. If there were two of them, Qin Chen and the others might have been unable to defeat them. Then, Qin Chen took the lead. ¡°Kill them!¡± With a furious roar, he led Holy Maiden Mu Xue, the big scorpion, and Yuji to attack the remaining cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. They had already consumed natural treasures and thus their strength was also incomparably powerful. Even among cultivators of the same realm, not many could be stronger than them. Unless the other party obtained an opportunity that was stronger than theirs. Qin Chen smiled. Holding the innate sword embryo, he circulated the Chaotic Emperor Sutra, unleashing his full strength. In an instant, he slashed out with his sword. The sword attack seemed to shatter the void, causing the space to tremble. At the same time, the big scorpion and the others unleashed their powerful attacks on the remaining Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators. They wanted to live, but these Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators wanted them dead. As such, the big scorpion and the others didn¡¯t have much sympathy for them. They started a massacre. In an instant, the blood and flesh of countless cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect splattered everywhere, their broken limbs fell to the ground. Miserable screams rose and fell. ¡°How is that possible? He¡¯s also in the God Emperor realm! Qin Chen¡¯s combat strength was the most shocking. With just one move, countless experts were killed. The remaining experts could only keep dodging. After all, no matter how powerful they were, they could not withstand Qin Chen¡¯s sword energy. After the innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand was infused with divine power, it unleashed its divine might and was incomparably terrifying. The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect could only die and blood flowed like a river. ¡°You will die a horrible death!¡± ¡°Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the experts of our Holy Sect will kill ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in hell, hahaha¡­! Ah!¡± The experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect could only curse Qin Chen with bloodshot eyes. As their numbers dwindled, the big scorpion and the others also sustained some injuries. Soon, the one-eyed man saw the scene in front of him. Countless disciples had died. Even if he could survive and return to the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, he would not be able to live. With that, he let out a low roar in grief and indignation. Then, he charged toward the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. In front of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the one-eyed man was full of flaws. It was easy for them to find an opportunity to instantly pierce through the one-eyed man¡¯s chest. ¡®Then, the flame-wing beast beheaded the one-eyed man straight away. Qin Chen nodded. After that, the flame-wing beast stabbed the head that had died with grievances into a spear. This was a warning to the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect who still wanted to kill them. They would let them see the consequences of catching up. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡¯ Qin Chen and the others knew that since a great battle had broken out here, experts from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would definitely come after them soon. They left. If they didn¡¯t leave quickly, something big might happen.. Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: Death Mountain Chapter 668: Death Mountain Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Dead?¡± ¡°They¡­ Are they all dead?¡± At this point, the experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect arrived. When they sensed the terrifying aura of war, they immediately rushed over. In the end, they were still too late. Their fellow disciples were all lying in pools of blood. Qin Chen and the others did not hold back. As a result, the corpses were almost all in pieces. It would be very difficult to piece them back again. ¡°Ah! Chase after him!¡± If they did not kill Qin Chen and the others, it would not be enough to appease their anger. They were cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect! In the entire Sky-east Galaxy, their sect was a famous supreme orthodoxy! In the end, so many of their cultivators had been killed. How could they swallow this anger? Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t stop at all. They fled. Along the way, if they met the disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, they did not hesitate to kill them directly. Not a single one was spared. Although not many Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators died because of that, it was enough to shock the cultivators of some other sects. They wondered what had happened to the Thousand Yin Holy Sect for it to be targeted like this. If this continued, who knew what kind of crazy actions the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would take? In any case, they hadn¡¯t heard of a cultivator who dared to openly oppose the Thousand Yin Holy Sect in a long time. Hence, very quickly. This news spread like wildfire. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t care less about such things. As for the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s face being ruthlessly pressed against the ground, it was indeed due to their actions, but this was a last resort. If the other party hadn¡¯t come to kill Qin Chen and the others, why would they have attacked? Du Qing, who was in the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, also heard about this. He was immediately enraged. He wondered what these disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were doing. Not only did they fail to kill Qin Chen and the others, but many of them were even killed instead. This was simply embarrassing. Where would the Thousand Yin Holy Sect put their face? ¡°Damn it!¡± However, Du Qing did not dare to casually make a move. Having almost been killed by the red-robed woman last time, his injuries had yet to recover. Plus, if he were to attack Qin Chen and the others, he would incur the displeasure of the Ji family again. If that happened, a light punishment would be his death, and a serious one would cause the entire Thousand Yin Holy Sect would be implicated. Thinking of this, Du Qing lost his temper and smashed everything around him into pieces. Now, Qin Chen and the others noticed that their actions could affect the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators who didn¡¯t want to die. However, there were still some who were not afraid of death. They chased after them even more crazily. It was probably impossible for Qin Chen and the others to use the same trick now. If the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators realized something was wrong, they would stop chasing after them. There were even some disciples of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect who fled as soon as they discovered Qin Chen¡¯s group. After all, if they were too slow, they might die at the hands of Qin Chen and the others. They didn¡¯t think that Qin Chen and the others could survive. However, it would not be good if they lost their lives for nothing. Thinking of this, Qin Chen had a headache. After all, these cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect were like ghosts. No matter where they fled to, cultivators from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would appear. What should he do to get rid of these guys? Qin Chen was still at a loss. Now, he could only keep running forward. Along the way, many experts noticed Qin Chen and his group. They couldn¡¯t believe that someone would dare to challenge the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. ¡°Elder King, what should we do now? For so long, the big scorpion and the others had been constantly fleeing for their lives while devouring and refining natural treasures to recover from their injuries. If this went on for a long time, they would definitely not be able to persist. After all, the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would only continue appearing in the Sky-east Star Field. Perhaps, in the end, they might even attract the attention of other important figures of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect such as quasi-emperors just like Du Qing. That was why Qin Chen and the others were constantly escaping. Qin Chen¡¯s original plan was to find a dangerous land. There should also be such dangerous lands in the Sky-east Star Field. As long as they found one, they would be able to take a break. After all, the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect wouldn¡¯t be so stupid as to chase after them. Qin Chen and the others were outlaws, but they weren¡¯t. However, in the unfamiliar Sky-east Starfield, Qin Chen was akin to being blind. He didn¡¯t know even where the north, south, east, and west were, let alone searching for a dangerous land. ¡°We need to find a place to rest.¡± The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect hadn¡¯t given them any time to rest at all. If this continued, they would be surrounded sooner or later. At that time, those cultivators wouldn¡¯t be as weak as the ones Qin Chen and the others had killed before. Perhaps they might not be able to escape and even die. It was not an easy task to find a dangerous land, which was why Qin Chen was at a loss. Right at this moment, a huge mountain emitting a dense death aura appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others. They instantly became excited as if they had seen a life-saving straw. After all, the mountain in front of them was the place they wanted to see the most, because this was what they were looking for! Any normal cultivator would definitely go crazy if they were forced into such a dangerous land. However, Qin Chen and the others were different. They knew that rather than letting those Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators slowly cut their flesh with a blunt knife, it was better to just enter this dangerous land. If they did that, they would be able to survive. At the very least, they wouldn¡¯t die in the hands of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators. Qin Chen and the others had never thought such a day would come. When the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect saw the auras of Qin Chen and the others disappear into the mountain that was emitting a dense aura of death, they stopped in their tracks. They weren¡¯t lunatics, so they definitely wouldn¡¯t rush in recklessly. ¡°To think they entered the Death Underworld Mountain. That means we won¡¯t have to go through all the trouble,¡± A cultivator from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect laughed, ¡°No one dares to enter the Death Underworld Mountain. Even quasi-emperor-realm experts have to think twice before doing so.. Those guys are courting death!¡± Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: Terrifying Creature Chapter 669: Terrifying Creature Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Qin Chen and the others entered the mountain that was emitting the aura of death, they were extremely flustered. They were at a loss for what to do because a power that carried a withering fluctuation was entering their bodies. Before this, Qin Chen and the others had experienced a great battle and their injuries had not completely healed. Now that they had entered this dangerous land, they felt even more threatened. If they hadn¡¯t entered this mountain that was emitting the aura of death, they would never have known that the place was filled with the aura of death. Soon, Qin Chen saw some undead creatures. These creatures looked strange, like zombies. Perhaps they were also such living beings when they were alive, but in the end, the withering fluctuations in the mountain that emitted the aura of death invaded their bodies, causing them to become like this. Qin Chen immediately wanted to hide with the others. However, what they did not expect was that there were many creatures with terrifying auras on this mountain. There were so many of those creatures that they couldn¡¯t see the end of them. Moreover, those creatures seemed to be able to sense their appearance. Some immediately charged toward them. One had to know that Qin Chen and the others had yet to recover from their injuries. If they fought now, it was inevitable that the other party would injure them. There might even be a risk of death. However, since they had entered this mountain that was emitting an aura of death, they had already made their decision. No matter what, they could not go out. Otherwise, they would be courting death. After all, the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect might have already surrounded the exit in the outside world. If they went out, it was possible that they would be killed directly. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to continue moving forward. There were countless terrifying creatures in front of them. These creatures charged toward them. Even Qin Chen didn¡¯t expect the creatures to be so terrifying that they would charge straight at them. They seemed to have a very strong sense of their presence. If they were to fight, Qin Chen and the others might not be a match for these terrifying creatures. After all, the terrifying creatures were not to be trifled with. Suddenly, a special feeling rose in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. It felt as if something had caught his attention. However, this feeling was very vague. For a moment, Qin Chen couldn¡¯t find the reason. There was no other way now. Looking at the terrifying creatures that were charging at them, Qin Chen and the others were prepared for a great battle. They knew that these terrifying creatures were not easy to deal with. If a big battle broke out, God knows if they could survive. No one knew what Qin Chen was thinking. The big scorpion exclaimed, ¡°Elder King, what exactly are these things?¡± The others, even the flame-wing beast, frowned. A three-eyed lion-like creature that charged over first had its head chopped off, but it was still alive and conscious. This was too strange. At this moment, Qin Chen noticed that the wounds on the bodies of these terrifying creatures were continuously dissipating with black fog. Qin Chen didn¡¯t dare to touch the black fog. After all, if there was something wrong with it, wouldn¡¯t they die? Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to investigate carefully. He discovered that all the terrifying creatures seemed to contain the black fog in their bodies. One could imagine how terrifying this black fog was since it could make these creatures zombies. It had completely exceeded the imagination of Qin Chen and the others. ¡°It¡¯s best not to touch this black fog in case of any problems. Everyone should be careful.¡± Everyone nodded. After a while, the three-eyed lion that was already dead on the ground finally died completely. However, the way it died also seemed to be a big problem. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do other than be more careful. Could it be that all the creatures here were like this? Thinking of this, Qin Chen raised his head and looked at the terrifying creatures that were attacking them. They had a certain idea that if they really allowed those terrifying creatures to charge over, a big problem would really occur. If they died here, would they end up like this? At this point, Qin Chen and the others noticed that among the terrifying creatures that were charging over from afar, there were human cultivators. They seemed to have been dead a long time ago, ultimately ending up in such a neither-human nor-ghost state. God knows why such a change would occur in this mountain that was emitting the aura of death. What Qin Chen and the others needed to do now was to protect themselves. Only by surviving would they have the chance to think about these other things. Otherwise, if they lost their lives, that was the end. Qin Chen did not know what to think. Everyone watched as the terrifying creatures that were relatively close to them charged over, and they were all prepared to attack. No matter what, they could not let these terrifying creatures come over. Therefore, everyone was ready. Even if they had to sacrifice everything, they would kill those terrifying creatures from a distance. Otherwise, if those fearless creatures arrived before them, they were afraid that there really was nothing they could do then. Thinking of this, Qin Chen slashed out. The strike was unleashed by the innate sword embryo. It emitted a powerful sword intent and was extremely sharp. It killed a few terrifying creatures into pieces. Immediately, an unknown amount of black fog was emitted. Then, everyone made their move, killing the terrifying creatures directly. In any case, these terrifying creatures probably wouldn¡¯t have the ability to fight after they were killed, which was why Qin Chen and the others took such actions. ¡°Roar! Among the terrifying creatures was a relatively stronger flood dragon that charged toward them. One had to know that among Qin Chen and the others, the true dragon was a genuine dragon. But now, no matter how the true dragon released the incomparably dense dragon might on its body, it was of no use at all. This was simply unbelievable. The flood dragon probably operated on some kind of survival method similar to that of puppets. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the flood dragon to not have changed in the slightest when faced with the suppression of the true dragon bloodline.. Chapter 670 - Chapter 670: Advance Chapter 670: Advance Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The powerful creatures attacked, wanting to tear Qin Chen and the others apart. However, given their special circumstances, they did not have much combat strength at all. They were soon taken care of by Qin Chen and the others. God knows how those terrifying creatures were formed, but they currently had no time to care about this. He simply attacked and killed those terrifying creatures one after another until they annihilated all the creatures that discovered them. ¡°Among these creatures, some are strong and some are weak, but they don¡¯t seem to have any battle instincts,¡± The flame-wing beast revealed its discovery. What was more important to them now was whether there were any more powerful or special existences among these terrifying creatures that retained their consciousness. If so, they would likely die. After all, those who could retain their consciousness were definitely terrifying experts and peerless existences from when they were alive. The terrifying creatures that Qin Chen and the others had just killed did not have many techniques and were easily annihilated. However, if they were stronger, even just a little bit, they would not have died so easily. Perhaps Qin Chen and the others would die instead. The most important thing now was those terrifying creatures though. They would not die completely right after their deaths. Instead, they had to wait for the black fog in their bodies to dissipate before they would die completely. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others waited. They wondered if there would be any changes to the black fog after the death of the terrifying creatures. Unfortunately, after the black fog left the body of the terrifying creatures, it would dissipate into nothingness as if it had never appeared. This caused Qin Chen and the others to be incomparably shocked. One could imagine that the black fog was definitely not as simple as it seemed. After that, Qin Chen and the others began to rest, consuming and refining heavenly treasures to help their injuries recover. They did not know how serious their injuries were. When they had just entered the mountain that was emitting the aura of death, they had felt a kind of power that carried withering fluctuations enter their bodies. One could imagine how terrifying the power was because, at this moment, Qin Chen and the others discovered that there was already quite a bit of this withering energy fluctuation in their bodies. On top of that, this withering power was constantly eating away at their divine power. What would happen after their divine power was completely devoured? What would they become? ¡°Shit! It seems I can¡¯t expel this power from my body!¡± Not only did the big scorpion notice it, but Qin Chen did as well. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do now but allow the power to continue to exist in their bodies. If this went on, it would be hard to say what would happen. Qin Chen was extremely surprised. The worry definitely existed. If the withering power was allowed to continue, it was hard to say what would happen to them in the end. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to lead everyone away. Since they were unable to expel the withering power from their bodies, they could only think of other ways. At the very least, they couldn¡¯t just wait on the spot. Otherwise, they would really be waiting for death. ¡°Could this withering power be related to the black fog in those terrifying creatures¡¯ bodies?¡± The big scorpion suddenly thought of something and his entire body trembled as he could not help but blurt out. But now, even if Qin Chen now knew that they were related, so what? They could still only look for a solution. Qin Chen said to everyone, ¡°If we want this withering power to leave our bodies, we can only go to the depths of this mountain to see if there i s any way.¡± No matter how many terrifying creatures appeared in front of them, they could not stop. They could only keep searching. Otherwise, there would really be a big problem. In the end, Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to continue moving deeper into the mountains. Soon, everyone was exhausted. At this point, they noticed that they had encountered too many problems. There were too many terrifying creatures in front of them. If they were not careful, those creatures might riot. At that time, there was a real possibility that something would go wrong. They were immediately already prepared to make their move. No matter what, they could not stay here for too long. Qin Chen and the others advanced. When they encountered too many terrifying creatures, they immediately took a detour. They did not stop. If they stayed for too long, they would be detected by those terrifying creatures and that would lead to a huge accident. Right now, their top priority was to find a way to expel the withering power from their bodies, not waste time. Every second was precious. Following this, Qin Chen arrived in an unknown place where there were rocks everywhere. Everyone could feel that something was wrong here. When Qin Chen saw it, he was extremely shocked. What was covered by these rocks was not anything else but a five-colored altar! To think there was a five-colored altar here. How was this possible? What kind of joke was this? Could it be that an ancient expert had visited this place before? Although Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know who had built this five-colored altar that was a teleportation array, it ultimately turned out like this. In any case, a place with a five-colored altar was definitely no ordinary place. Qin Chen immediately called out to everyone and they cleared out all the stones that covered the five-colored altar. With that, Qin Chen could sense a weak and powerful divinity remnant. The system¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. [Ding, dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] Qin Chen had never thought that he would be able to check in on this mountain that was emitting the aura of death. This was simply unbelievable. The five-colored altar was clearly not normal. Any place with a five-colored altar would usually have problems. Immediately after, Qin Chen nodded and muttered the words ¡°check in¡± in his heart. Instantly, he felt a piece of silver hide appear in his hand. Qin Chen wondered what the piece of silver hide was.. Chapter 671 - Chapter 671: Silver Moon Scroll Chapter 671: Silver Moon Scroll Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in to the five-colored altar. You have received the reward, the Silver Moon Scroll!] [Silver Moon Scroll: A one-time consumable item, a failed product forged by an ancient great emperor. It can release an attack comparable to a quasi-emperor-realm expert, and it can also devour mysterious substances to make itself stronger.] Qin Chen had never imagined that the thing in his hand was a failed product of an ancient great emperor. That being said, he didn¡¯t have any leeway to choose at this point. He was already very happy to be able to obtain this Silver Moon Scroll. It was a good item. Qin Chen recalled that the Silver Moon Scroll seemed to be able to devour mysterious substances, which would allow its power to become even stronger than just akin to a quasi-emperor. However, he currently didn¡¯t have any other thoughts. If this thing could absorb the withering power in their bodies, wouldn¡¯t that be a timely rain? Immediately after, Qin Chen refined the Silver Moon Scroll. With this, he could try to expel the withering power from his body. If the withering power was allowed to continue staying in his body, he wondered what would happen. Therefore, he made a move straight away. Then, before he could react, the Silver Moon Scroll emitted a bright light, extracting the withering power from Qin Chen¡¯s body and devouring it. After devouring the withering power in Qin Chen¡¯s body, the Silver Moon Scroll seemed to have become much stronger. Seeing this, Qin Chen nodded. After that, he used the Silver Moon Scroll on everyone, successfully making it even more powerful. Finishing all that, Qin Chen made his move, wanting to leave this place. He wondered if the five-colored altar could still be used. As such, he placed quite a number of spirit stones into the five-colored altar. Unfortunately, the five-colored altar did not change at all. Could it be that it could no longer be used? It was very normal for such a situation to happen though. Qin Chen just discovered an inconspicuous sword mark on the five-colored altar. God knows who left it behind, but it was this sword mark that seemed to have rendered the five-colored altar useless. Qin Chen sighed and kept the spirit stones. After some time, he came back to his senses and realized that they were actually seeing a figure. This figure was none other than a terrifying creature. This terrifying creature¡¯s eyes seemed to have a different kind of light. It was obvious that it had spiritual wisdom. Qin Chen and the others instantly felt quite fearful. God knows why, but the terrifying creature looked like a human. It stared at Qin Chen as if it wanted to attack him, but it didn¡¯t do so yet because it wasn¡¯t sure how powerful they were. That being said, this terrifying creature did not seem to have much intelligence. After all, it did not even know how to hide its strength. Instead, it was sizing up Qin Chen and the others. It seemed to have reached level 7 of the God Venerable realm. If Qin Chen were to fight, he would not be a match for this terrifying creature. Even added with the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, they might not be a match for the other party, and they might even lose their lives. But now, Qin Chen now knew some methods. Just by relying on the things he had obtained yesterday, he could somehow manage. So now, he was waiting for an opportunity. After all, he had the Silver Moon Scroll. Even if they fought later, he would definitely be able to deal with this terrifying creature. Right now, both parties did not move. No one knew when the other party would attack. Still, no matter how weak Qin Chen was, it was still very simple for him to deal with this terrifying creature. As long as he used the power of the Silver Moon Scroll, only death would await the powerful and terrifying creature. Qin Chen wasn¡¯t too prepared to make a move though, because the Silver Moon Scroll could only be used once. He wasn¡¯t willing to use this one and only chance just like this. On the other hand, the terrifying human creature that Qin Chen had discovered seemed to have produced some kind of greed toward Qin Chen. In other words, this terrifying human creature was not dead. Instead, it was prepared to take action and deal with Qin Chen. Seeing this, Qin Chen could not help but want to make a move. He could not let this terrifying human creature go. After all, the other party¡¯s strength was relatively powerful. It had already cultivated to level 7 of the God Venerable Realm. If a great battle broke out, Qin Chen would definitely not be a match. He had to kill the other party. After all, if the terrifying human creature was let go, it would be a huge hidden danger. Qin Chen wondered why the other party had suddenly appeared. Could it be that it had only discovered them now? Following this, Qin Chen prepared to attack. This terrifying human creature also made its move, turning into an afterimage. Instantly, Qin Chen lost his target. The terrifying human creature disappeared. ¡°Boom! With a loud bang, Qin Chen was immediately slammed into the ground. Before he could react, he had been injured. ¡°Elder King!¡¯ The flame-wing beast and the true dragon couldn¡¯t stand by anymore. The terrifying human creature was even stronger than the two of them. However, even if they were no match for the other party, they could not stop attacking and destroying it. Qin Chen simply waved his hand. He signaled to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon not to interfere and just leave the matter to him. After that, he took action. He looked at the terrifying human creature and revived the Silver Moon Scroll. Instantly, the terrifying human creature felt fear. The Silver Moon Scroll shone brightly at this moment, erupting with terrifying pressure as it attacked that terrifying human creature. The terrifying level 7 God Venerable realm human creature died before it could react. It was destroyed straight away by the Silver Moon Scroll, and nothing was left behind. Only Qin Chen and the others knew that the terrifying human creature was already dead.. Chapter 672 - Chapter 672: Forcefully Passing Through Chapter 672: Forcefully Passing Through Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio This was the first terrifying creature that Qin Chen and the others had killed in this dangerous land. God knows if there would be any other terrifying creatures in this mountain. Even if they left the mountain, they would be surrounded and killed by the Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators. In addition to what Oin Chen had seen earlier, the five-colored altar had already been destroyed. God knows which expert had such terrifying combat strength that he could leave a sword mark on the five-colored altar. It was simply too terrifying. Qin Chen looked ahead. ¡°There is only one path left now.¡± And that was to walk their current path to the end. If they wanted to survive, they had to pass through this dangerous land. Only after doing so could they survive. It was clear that there would be many dangers ahead. The terrifying existence that Qin Chen had just killed was definitely not the only one on this mountain that was emitting the aura of death. Perhaps there would be even more terrifying existences. However, to survive, Qin Chen and the others could only take the risk. Otherwise, there would only be death. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Even if they knew the road ahead was filled with peril, they still chose to advance. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡¯ Previously, Qin Chen and the others could still use the Silver Moon Scroll to absorb the withering power that invaded their bodies, but now, they had no chance. They could only continue moving forward. Moreover, they did not have much time left. This was because the withered power invaded their bodies with every passing second. Qin Chen and the others could not imagine what kind of changes would happen to them if this dragged on. Would they become like the creatures they saw? It was hard to say. Previously, they had discovered that the creatures here had a kind of black fog in their bodies. Furthermore, the big scorpion speculated that the withering power should have something to do with the black fog. It was precisely because of this that Qin Chen and the others had no choice but to leave as soon as possible. Only by passing through this mountain that emitted the aura of death would they have a chance to survive. If they continued to stay here, they would only die. Following this, Qin Chen led everyone After God knows how long, Qin Chen and the others felt a fluctuation like the wind. That fluctuation was already close to them when the flame-wing beast finally reacted. ¡°Careful! It immediately placed its body in front of Qin Chen. A wooden spear fell to the ground. At the same time, a wound appeared on the flame-wing beast¡¯s body and blood flowed out. They didn¡¯t even see clearly what had attacked them just now. They had only felt a terrifying aura, and it injured the flame-wing beast. One had to know that the flame-wing beast was at level 4 of the God Venerable realm. It was already incomparably powerful. Yet now, it was still injured and was even bleeding. This was simply unbelievable in everyone¡¯s eyes. Could it be a quasi-emperor-realm expert? However, if the other party was an expert in that realm, why was he hiding? Shouldn¡¯t he show up like the terrifying creature that Qin Chen had killed? But now, not only did the other party not show up, he even injured the flame-wing beast. One had to know that the flame-wing beast had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, so its defense was undoubtedly powerful. Yet, under this attack, even its defense was also broken. If this wooden spear were to pierce Qin Chen¡¯s body, he would probably be nailed to death even with the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. After all, this was no ordinary attack. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt a lingering fear in his heart. Everyone instantly became vigilant and constantly guarded against their surroundings. But there was nothing around. Qin Chen and the others were at a loss. At this point, Qin Chen opened the third vertical eye between his brows. The seemingly fictional eye opened, carrying with it a mysterious aura as if it could see through all illusions. If the existence that injured the flame-wing beast appeared, Qin Chen would definitely be able to use the Netherworld Eye to find it. However, as everyone became vigilant, the existence that had secretly hurt one of them didn¡¯t seem to want to appear. It was as if the other party only existed in the dark and would only attack when they weren¡¯t paying attention. Qin Chen thought of something. Since the other party was unwilling to come out, they could set up a trap to lure the other party out. The other party had already attacked once, so there would surely be a second time¡­ Therefore, they only needed to do one thing, and that was to continue walking forward. Before that, they would secretly make preparations. When the time came, they would then be able to catch the other party. At that time, they would be able to see what kind of existence it was. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others continued to move forward, increasing their speed by quite a bit. This would also create the illusion that they were afraid, though they really were afraid. But now, that terrifying existence did not make a move. Instead, he simply watched as!in Chen and the others to continue moving forward. This was like a game of the mind. The other party wanted to kill Qin Chen, and Qin Chen also wanted to kill the other party. It was a pity that the other party still did not know that Qin Chen and the others were doing this on purpose, with the goal of forcing him out of hiding. ¡°That guy should be at level 6 of the God Venerable realm.¡± The flame-wing beast carefully observed the surroundings while sending a voice transmission to Qin Chen. Now, their communication could be easily exposed. Qin Chen nodded. Only the flame-wing beast had fought against that fellow. However, Qin Chen speculated that the existence who had launched a sneak attack should be above level 6 of the God Venerable realm. ¡°Everyone, be careful.¡± Although Qin Chen didn¡¯t know why the other party would target him, he could only take it one step at a time at this point. After all, the guy hiding in the dark was very powerful. Even if Qin Chen attacked, he might not be a match for the other party. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen proceeded forward cautiously while watching the surroundings with his Netherworld Eye. Immediately after, the sound of something whistling through the air could be heard. As soon as the sound rang out, a wooden spear had already shot toward Qin Chen. The speed of the wooden spear was ridiculously fast, able to break the void. It was naturally faster than sound. As such, what the naked eye could see was only a shadow flashing by. It simply could not be described with common sense. Qin Chen felt extremely fearful and immediately activated his Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon were the first to discover it. The two of them immediately attacked and destroyed the wooden spear. If it wasn¡¯t for the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, Qin Chen might not have been able to resist.. Chapter 673 - Chapter 673: Wooden Spear Chapter 673: Wooden Spear Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen kept using the Netherworld Eye to observe his surroundings. They didn¡¯t even know where that strange wooden spear came from. If they were not strong enough, they might be killed. Even an ordinary God Venerable Realm expert might not be able to withstand the terrifying wooden spear. ¡°Somethings not right. Where is the person behind this hiding?¡± At this moment, Qin Chen and the others realized the seriousness of the matter. If this went on, didn¡¯t this mean that the next time the wooden spear shot out again, they still wouldn¡¯t have the chance to find out where the other party was hiding? This meant that they might not be able to escape the other party¡¯s attack range. Qin Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. As expected, this mountain that was emitting the aura of death had many more powerful existences. For example, the fellow who wanted to kill Qin Chen now. The other party had been hiding in the dark all this time. Even though his actions spelled out to Qin Chen that he was going to make a move, the latter couldn¡¯t even tell where the wooden spears were coming from. Qin Chen felt a sense of dread. Even if he paid a huge price, he might not be able to stop the other party. Instead, it was very likely that he would be dealt with by the other party. Qin Chen smiled. He wanted to stop the other party, but the other party had no intention of giving them the chance. ¡°Again.¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions were solemn. That¡¯s right, all of them felt faint killing intent. Then, as if the void had exploded again, a wooden spear flew out. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Qin Chen. Qin Chen himself didn¡¯t even have time to react. ¡°Roar!¡± The flame-wing beast and the true dragon let out a furious roar and blocked the wooden spear once again. Unfortunately, before they had yet to find the source of the wooden spear, five wooden spears flew out from different places. This simply couldn¡¯t be inferred with common sense. But now, they had no choice but to use all their strength to resist. The true dragon¡¯s body was pierced by a wooden spear. Immediately, blood flowed non-stop. Fortunately, the remaining wooden spears were intercepted. Immediately after, Qin Chen gave the true dragon a natural treasure to consume. He was currently no longer the same as before. He had long since obtained even more natural treasures. These things were rare in the outside world. But now, Qin Chen had many in his pocket. ¡°It seems that the other party¡¯s strength should be above level 6 of the God Venerable realm.¡± Qin Chen had already guessed it. Now that the true dragon was injured as well, he knew that the guy hiding in the dark should have extraordinary strength. Thinking of this, he quickly wracked his brain for a solution. Currently, it was almost impossible to lure that guy out. After all, that terrifying existence had always been hiding in the dark. It was extremely terrifying. Once they had this thought, it would almost be impossible for them to move forward. Qin Chen smiled. Since that was the case, there was only one way: Take the initiative to attack! Qin Chen immediately separated himself from the crowd and advanced alone. ¡°Elder King!¡¯ Everyone was at a loss. After all, Qin Chen had suddenly run out. They had yet to react to what had happened. ¡°What does the Elder King want to do?¡± No one knew. When they saw Qin Chen charge out, they were completely flustered. Although they knew that Qin Chen had reasons for everything he did, this time was different. Even if Qin Chen had many treasures on him, it was still very likely that he would die under that strange wooden spear. Now, he had advanced alone. If the person hiding in the dark were to make a move, Qin Chen might be killed directly. When they thought of this, they felt fear. What should they do now? Before Qin Chen left, he did not tell them what his current plan was. Even the talkative big scorpion didn¡¯t know what to do. Although he knew that Qin Chen would never do anything reckless, this time, they might not be a match for the enemy even if all of them joined forces. Moreover, the enemy was very terrifying. He had been hiding in the dark all this time, and God knows when he would throw out those wooden spears. At this moment, Qin Chen felt a sense of danger in his heart. He immediately made a move, wanting to bring everyone away. After all, if they stayed here, there was a high chance that an accident would happen. If they left, they would be attacked by those terrifying wooden spears. If they didn¡¯t leave, they would also be attacked by those wooden spears. Therefore, there was only one way now. They could only try their best. At the moment, Qin Chen and the others still did not know what to do. Therefore, they could only keep moving forward. Following Qin Chen¡¯s order, everyone continued to move forward. At the same time, another wooden spear pierced through the void and headed toward them. However, this time, Qin Chen seemed to have sensed something. He stood up and looked at the wooden spear, overjoyed. Then, he roared angrily. In an instant, Qin Chen¡¯s Netherworld Eye shot out a beam of dazzling light, illuminating a figure in the void. ¡°Over there! The flame-wing beast and the true dragon finally saw the other party as they flew out to block the wooden spear. Then, they tore through the void and instantly appeared next to the figure that Qin Chen¡¯s Netherworld Eye had shone on. ¡°We¡¯ve finally found you.¡± That figure was somewhat unable to come to his senses. One had to know that previously, Qin Chen and the others were unable to capture his traces at all. But now, the other party had found him. Didn¡¯t that mean that his movement technique was no longer useful? Then, he disappeared. ¡°Die!¡± The flame-wing beast roared angrily. As someone who had been injured by the wooden spear before, now that it had found the main culprit, it would not be lenient. It charged straight toward that figure. With that, the figure finally appeared. There were countless dense ripples on his body as if he was hidden in space. When he saw the flame-wing beast and the true dragon charging toward him, he didn¡¯t seem to feel any fear. Two wooden spears appeared in his hands again, emitting terrifying power. They seemed to be able to erupt with incomparably terrifying power. At this moment, the true dragon also charged over at the figure from another direction.. Chapter 674 - Chapter 674: Transfiguration Chapter 674: Transfiguration Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio This terrifying figure threw out the two wooden spears again. In an instant, they pierced through the void, extremely terrifying. It made people feel incomparably fearful. The two wooden spears seemed to have locked onto the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, wanting to kill the two of them straight away. In an instant, the void was torn apart as the wooden spears turned into a stream of light with an incomparably dazzling light. They seemed to be able to even sink the river of history. This had exceeded the imagination of Qin Chen and the others. Fortunately, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were already at level 4 of the God Venerable realm. Although the two wooden spears coming toward them had immense power, the two of them also instantly erupted with a terrifying aura. Their God Venerable realm pressure was directly released. The wooden spears shot toward the two of them as if death had descended. This time, the wooden spears were even more powerful than the previous ones. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a little worried, wondering if they could withstand the attack. ¡°Roar! The flame-wing beast roared. Then, it charged toward the terrifying wooden spear. In an instant, many powers of rules appeared on its body, which then transformed into a domain that suppressed the wooden spear. However, the flame-wing beast still spitted out a mouthful of blood. After all, this wooden spear was even more terrifying than the previous one! The true dragon also charged toward the incoming wooden spear. It did not know what to do. As such, it could only rely on its physical body to block the terrifying wooden spear with all its might. Fortunately, the true dragon was no ordinary being after all. Under its actions, this terrifying wooden spear only managed to injure it again. ¡°Kill!¡± The true dragon roared angrily, not caring about its new injury. It knew that they had to end the battle quickly. If that figure were to attack with a few more wooden spears, it would die even if it had three heads and six arms. The flame-wing beast also cooperated and the two attacked together in an instant. The two God Venerable realm experts charged at the terrifying figure. Just as they were about to reach the terrifying figure, the latter released a terrifying fluctuation, and instantly, the earth shook. Following this, countless huge thorns shot out from the ground, attacking the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon were unable to react in time even if they had great abilities. They only managed to dodge by the skin of their teeth, almost injured by the huge thorns. This caused the flame-wing beast and the true dragon to feel extremely fearful. The flame-wing beast¡¯s face was filled with rage. It spat out a flame with a boom. The flame had become incomparably powerful since it had broken through to the God Venerable realm. Now that the flame was released, it instantly burned many thorns into ashes. No matter how many thorns there were now, they might not be able to withstand the flames of the flame-wing beast. Seeing that flames had a miraculous effect on the thorns, the true dragon immediately erupted with a terrifying attack, wanting to destroy the thorns as well. The true dragon spat out its innate dragon flames too. The incomparably terrifying flames transformed into a fire dragon that swept through the thorns. Qin Chen felt a sense of dread in his heart. How could this figure be suppressed so easily? It was definitely not that simple. Sure enough, the countless thorns changed and charged toward Qin Chen and the others instead. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t even come to his senses as an incomparable fear erupted in his heart. ¡°Shit! The flame-wing beast and the true dragon could sense that the incomparably huge thorns were not only charging toward them but also rising from the ground and charging toward Qin Chen and the others. It was simply unimaginable what would happen if Qin Chen and the others encountered these huge thorns. Qin Chen¡¯s heart was filled with fear. One had to know that the other party was an existence that could injure the God Venerable realm flame-wing beast and true dragon. Even if he had extraordinary talent, he was absolutely not a match for the other party. When he thought of this, Qin Chen felt extremely fearful. At this point, he could only try to see if his Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor could withstand the attack. With that, he circulated his Chaotic Divine Body. The heavens roared as he circulated his acupoints to the limit as well. He could only try to see if he could use his magic items to block it. After all, the huge thorns were extraordinary. They must be extremely powerful. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately made his move, wanting to block this terrifying thorny attack He took out the innate sword embryo and injected divine power into it, reviving it. It emitted a terrifying extreme emperor might that was extremely fear-invoking. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes burned with terrifying battle intent as he stood in front of the big scorpion and the others. The mounds on the ground kept moving forward. If they hit him, he might not be able to block them. Qin Chen immediately made his move, attempting to block the attack. Unfortunately, the attack was extremely terrifying and far exceeded their imagination. This attack had reached the extreme. Qin Chen felt the huge thorns suddenly rush out. This was enough to show how terrifying the attack was. The innate sword embryo trembled, making the area between his thumb and forefinger go numb, leaving behind a trail of blood. The attack was incomparably terrifying. The Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on Qin Chen¡¯s body had already erupted with dazzling light. The incomparable tremors caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. He managed to block it, but now, he had been severely injured. When the flame-wing beast and the true dragon saw this, they could not help but make a move immediately, wanting to deal with the figure. As Qin Chen was severely injured, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon also arrived before the other party. The figure seemed to want to block the attack. However, he did not expect the true dragon and the flame-wing beast to be so furious. When the huge thorns attacked the two of them again, they were directly destroyed by them. The thorns couldn¡¯t resist the flame-wing beast and the true dragon now. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast spat out terrifying flames that burned through the void. One could imagine how terrifying the power of these flames was. They had already reached an extreme. Then, the figure¡¯s eyes shot out divine light, igniting the void. Immediately after, the entire world seemed to be swallowed up by darkness. ¡°This is¡­ !¡± No matter how Qin Chen and the others wracked their brains, they would never have thought that the other party¡¯s attack would be so terrifying. In an instant, the world shifted and the figure had already disappeared. What replaced him was an incomparably huge figure.. Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: Candle Dragon Chapter 675: Candle Dragon Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio If Qin Chen and the others could recognize it, they would know that this was an ancient divine beast. The flame-wing beast¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°This¡­ This is the candle dragon!¡¯ The legendary candle dragon was an extremely terrifying ancient existence. In the blink of an eye, it could make the world lose its light. Its strength was extremely terrifying. The candle dragon that appeared at this moment was not real. It was just an avatar. However, it was enough to show how terrifying the candle dragon was. It had already reached a terrifying level, able to transfigure in just an instant. This caused everyone to be constantly wary. Then, a terrifying aura erupted. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others felt as if they were facing an abyss and fear bubbled in their hearts. Qin Chen made a move again, wanting to block this terrifying candle dragon. However, the candle dragon had already reached an extremely terrifying level. Even if it was an avatar, it was still terrifying enough. The candle dragon instantly pressed its palm down on in Chen and the others. Faced with a palm that was as big as the sky, Qin Chen and the others were unable to leave at all. Instead, they were suppressed by the palm. Unfortunately, this palm was too powerful. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon let out a furious roar, wanting to block this attack, but it was so terrifying that they could not resist at all. ¡°Ah!¡± The flame-wing beast was enraged. It instantly erupted with a terrifying aura, but still, it simply couldn¡¯t resist the palm and was suppressed into the ground. Then, it let out a furious roar and its body became incomparably huge. However, it was nothing compared to the candle dragon. It was still very small. At this moment, Qin Chen was also at a loss for what he should do to resist the terrifying candle dragon. The flame-wing beast burned its blood essence. The true dragon at the side could not stand it anymore either. It released its true form and transformed into a huge dragon, emitting a terrifying dragon¡¯s might. They knew that the other party was definitely not above the God Venerable realm, otherwise, they would have long died. In this mountain that was emitting the aura of death, any random terrifying existence could make Qin Chen and the others experience the feeling of death. The dangerous land was driving them crazy. ¡°What should I do?¡± The flame-wing beast and the true dragon were currently stubbornly resisting this terrifying giant palm. Their bodies were instantly shaken by the terrifying pressure, to the point they spat out mists of blood. Still, they couldn¡¯t give up. If they did, then only death awaited them. Thinking of this, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast made their moves, wanting to resist this terrifying pressure. Unfortunately, before they could hold on, the eyes of the candle dragon closed once again. This time, the world instantly lit up. Qin Chen and the others finally saw where they were. There was nothing here. The candle dragon¡¯s huge body was the only thing in the world. Could it be that they had already left the mountain that was emitting the aura of death? Immediately, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. He could not imagine what was going on. One had to know that they had been in the mountain that was emitting the aura of death. If something happened here, they would definitely be unable to resist. The candle dragon roared furiously and its giant palm became even more powerful. It injured the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong!¡± Qin Chen felt that something was wrong. If the candle dragon¡¯s avatar was so powerful that it could make them leave the mountain that was emitting the aura of death, it should¡¯ve killed them as if they were ants. What they were seeing now might not be the truth. But how could he see the truth? Qin Chen was drawing a blank now. Still, there was a sharp glint in his eyes. There must be a way. Immediately after, Qin Chen stepped on the Moving Secret Technique and charged toward the giant palm. At this moment, he was incomparably small. He was taking a gamble. He was betting that this terrifying candle dragon was not real. If he failed, he would die. When Qin Chen got close to the terrifying giant palm, he couldn¡¯t help but doubt: Was this the real candle dragon? Immediately after, he let out a furious roar. Then, he gritted his teeth and charged forward. ¡°Elder King! Hurry up and leave!¡± The flame-wing beast and the true dragon were already on the verge of despair. Even if they worked together, they might not be able to withstand this terrifying attack. And now, to think Qin Chen was flying straight toward the giant palm. What would happen? It would definitely be extremely terrifying. Apprehension soared in their hearts. After that, Qin Chen completely disregarded his life, but the result surprised him. He spat out a mouthful of blood. However, after he threw caution to the wind, the giant palm couldn¡¯t injure him. Qin Chen opened his eyes, incomparably excited. He guessed right! Immediately after, he roared at the crowd, ¡°These are all illusions!¡± ¡°All illusions? How was this possible? The true dragon and the flame-wing beast were already on the verge of death. How could it be an illusion? Divine power appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, condensing into a blade. Facing this terrifying giant palm, he slashed out lightly. It actually passed through the giant palm! Immediately, the big scorpion became excited. Could the Elder King be telling the truth? ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you should be a part of the illusion!¡± At this moment, Qin Chen dragged his heavily injured body and threw a punch at the star-sized enormous candle dragon. Six Paths Reincarnation Fist! This punch carried an incomparably terrifying fist intent that transcended everything in the world. The terrifying Six Paths Reincarnation Fist landed on the candle dragon. Immediately, the candle dragon collapsed! The huge candle dragon, which was as big as a star, was knocked to the ground by Qin Chen¡¯s punch. Words could not describe how shocked everyone was! The world changed. When Qin Chen and the others looked around again, they discovered that they had actually returned to the mountain that was emitting the aura of death. And now, the terrifying figure in front of them looked as if its body was about to shatter, covered in web-like cracks. It was simply unbelievable. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast were indeed heavily injured. The illusion that was as real as reality was really too terrifying. If they believed that they had died under the candle dragon¡¯s huge palm, they would probably have died in reality as well. Immediately, they felt a lingering fear in their hearts. If the Elder King hadn¡¯t seen through the illusion, they would have died in the illusion even if they were quasi-emperor-realm experts. This was simply too terrifying.. Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: Jiuji Daoist Chapter 676: Jiuji Daoist Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen spat out another mouthful of blood. His body was heavily injured, to begin with. Now that he was injured again, it was naturally very serious. By now, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast had already seen through the illusion. Naturally, they would not let that figure escape. With that, they erupted with terrifying speed and tore through the void, arriving in front of the figure in the blink of an eye. Before the figure had yet to react, he was injured The flame-wing beast and the true dragon attacked as fast as lightning. Since his illusion had been broken, the figure seemed to have suffered a great backlash. This was the first human that Qin Chen and the others had discovered on this mountain that was emitting the aura of death. They knew because the other party suddenly spoke, ¡°Stop!¡¯ Qin Chen and the others were surprised. The existence they had killed before was not human at all. It was truly unexpected for this figure to have suddenly spoken now. Could it be that the other party was also a fugitive hiding in this dangerous land? The true dragon and the flame-wing beast didn¡¯t care. No matter what, they had to teach this guy a lesson. As the figure vomited blood, the divine power in his body was sealed by the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. He had been taken down. Qin Chen naturally had nothing to say. He gave the flame-wing beast a look, and the latter knocked the other party unconscious. Then, everyone immediately seized the time to consume and refine the natural treasures. After all, their injuries were extremely terrifying. Fortunately, they had already taken down that terrifying figure. Qin Chen had never thought that the other party would be a human. This terrifying figure should¡¯ve only been at level 6 of the God Venerable realm, yet he had almost killed Qin Chen and the others. His strength was extremely terrifying. That illusory realm that seemed so real was a great killing weapon too. If Qin Chen hadn¡¯t reacted quickly, they might have been killed by this terrifying illusion. Thinking of this, Qin Chen became cautious. Although they had already sealed the divine power in the terrifying figure¡¯s body, who could say for sure? What if the other party unleashed that illusion again? Then they might really die in there. After Qin Chen and the others had recovered from their injuries, they looked at the terrifying figure. The figure¡¯s face was blurry as if it had been erased by some force. The flame-wing beast then threw a punch at the terrifying figure, bringing the latter back to consciousness. However, this terrifying figure was not an ordinary existence. He actually woke up before the punch hit him. Unfortunately, his divine power had been sealed and he had no strength at all. He could only be smashed into the ground by the punch and continued spitting out blood. ¡°Who exactly are you? Why are you here?¡± Qin the stared at the terrifying figure, afraid that he could still use that terrifying illusion even though his divine power had been sealed. Seeing that he had already become a prisoner, the terrifying figure understood the situation. Then, he slowly stood up from the ground and said, ¡°I am Daoist Jiuji. I came here because I offended the sect leader of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect.¡± Qin Chen and the others were immediately shocked. They learned that Daoist Jiuji was once the Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. He was even known as the Holy Son who was most likely to win the position of the sect leader. Unfortunately, he was injured by Jie Baichen and lost the position. He was even injured and his cultivation fell. Originally, he had been infinitely close to the quasi-emperor realm. After that, he escaped from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, but Jie Baichen came after him. His master had died to protect him. Otherwise, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape into the Death Underworld Mountain. The current Jie Baichen had probably become an outstanding figure among the quasi-emperors. In contrast, he could only struggle to survive here. Immediately after, Qin Chen and the others asked about the origin of his incomparably terrifying illusion. Daoist Jiuji told them that he had taken away a divine technique from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. The illusionary realm was called the Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique. It was because he had taken it that he had attracted the pursuit of Jie Baichen, who was now the sect master of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Unfortunately, he had no way to recover his strength in this Death Underworld Mountain. He had been hiding here for countless years. Jiu Baichen probably already thought that he was dead. This was also the reason why the cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect didn¡¯t continue to attack when they saw Qin Chen and the others entering the Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen and the others were originally extremely interested in that terrifying illusion secret technique. However, now that they heard that the divine technique was from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, they didn¡¯t ask anymore. Even if they were given the illusion secret technique, they might not be able to cultivate it. ¡°You guys killed the terrifying existence earlier, right?¡± Daoist Jiujiist had always been afraid of that terrifying existence in the Death Underworld Mountain, but just now, he felt a terrifying fluctuation and he sensed that the other party seemed to have lost its breath. Presumably, it was Qin Chen and the others who did it. And now, he had become their prisoner. Qin Chen and the others kept a close watch on Daoist Jiuji. After all, he was once an expert close to the quasi-emperor realm and had just been a step away from becoming the sect leader of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Such a person definitely had a lot of secrets. If Qin the were not careful, they might be tricked by the other party. Then, the terrifying Daoist Jiuji laughed, ¡°You guys couldn¡¯t have been chased into this place as well, right?¡± The big scorpion hated the Thousand Yin Holy Sect to the core. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your Thousand Yin Holy Sect.¡± They were all trapped here, so they could be considered to be in the same boat. Daoist Jiuji laughed loudly. In that case, they had the same enemy. ¡°Du Qing? Is he still alive?¡± Since Daoist Jiuji was once the Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, he naturally knew of Du Qng. However, Qin Chen shook his head and told the big scorpion to shut up. He didn¡¯t want to reveal too much information to Daoist Jiuji. After which, he asked, ¡°Is there a way out of this Death Underworld Mountain? Daoist Jiuji seemed to have heard the funniest joke. ¡°There are countless dangerous lands in the Sky-east Star Field, and the most terrifying one is the Death Underworld Mountain, which is here. A few quasi-emperors of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect have entered this place before, but unfortunately, they have all died. If there was any chance to escape, I¡¯m afraid I would have left long ago.¡± Since he put it that way, there should be no possibility of leaving the Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen sighed in his heart.. Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: Can’t Release Chapter 677: Can¡¯t Release Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Since Daoist Jiuji had survived for such a long time in the Death Underworld Mountain, which was filled with the aura of death, he most likely knew just how terrifying the place was. With this, Qin Chen and the others could probably stop being clueless. Thinking of this, Qin Chen asked Daoist Jiuji, ¡°What kind of dangers are there in this Death Underworld Mountain?¡± Daoist Jiuji slowly said, ¡°There are many terrifying existences in the Death Underworld Mountain. With my current strength, I can only manage to survive here.¡± Since he had said such words, he believed that Qin Chen understood. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that there shouldn¡¯t be any way to leave the Death Underworld Mountain?¡± Unexpectedly, Daoist Jiuji shook his head, ¡°Not necessarily.¡± He looked ahead, ¡°Perhaps there is a way to leave ahead. I can feel something there calling out to me.¡± The pressure on Qin the was increasing. They still didn¡¯t know if they could pass through the mountain. After all, Daoist Jiuji wasn¡¯t the only terrifying existence in the Death Underworld Mountain. If Daoist Jiuji could really get out of here, perhaps he would have already left. The fact that he was still here was enough to prove that they had no way of leaving this place. ¡°According to the ancient records, the Death Underworld Mountain is not really a dangerous land. Instead, it has powerful magic items and opportunities. A few quasi-emperor-realm experts of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect chose to enter this place when they were about to pass away. They came here to see if they could obtain any opportunities. Unfortunately, they all failed.¡± Daoist Jiuji also found the remains of those Thousand Yin Holy Sect quasi-emperor-realm experts, as well as other experts who had entered the mountain. He had buried their bones. When Qin Chen and the others learned that this place was not dangerous land, but a place with great fortune, they immediately thought of something and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Didn¡¯t this mean that they could obtain great fortune and opportunities here? In this way, if they broke through, they would have a chance to kill their way out. Qin Chen smiled. Everyone understood what he wanted to do. Since staying here would only trap them to death, they might as well take a risk. What if they obtained a great fortune or a great opportunity? Perhaps they could still turn the situation around. They couldn¡¯t be trapped here forever. After all, they still had to return to the nine Heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic. They couldn¡¯t allow themselves to be trapped in the Sky-east Star Field. No matter how powerful those Thousand Yin Holy Sect cultivators were, they couldn¡¯t keep sending powerful cultivators to block the way out. Therefore, they now had a chance to leave. As long as they could find a great opportunity, they would be able to leave this place. Immediately after, Qin Chen had Daoist Jiuji lead the way deeper into the mountain. After all, if they continued to stay here, only death would await them. Although Daoist Jiuji had been somewhat unwilling, he had other thoughts now. He decided that he would cooperate with Qin Chen and the others to continue advancing deeper into the Death Underworld Mountain. Although he used to be an expert who was infinitely close to the quasi-emperor realm, he had already understood some things after so much time and experience. Qin Chen and the others were quite powerful. If he wanted to benefit, following Qin Chen and the others into the depths of the Death Underworld Mountain wasn¡¯t a bad choice. If he could recover to his peak state and break through the bottleneck, he would be able to kill his way back and take revenge. He wanted to take back the position of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s sect leader. Then, he would destroy his enemy, Jie Baichen. He would never forget this enmity for the rest of his life. It would always be engraved in his bones. They had to leave this place. On this point, Daoist Jiuji and Qin Chen had a common enemy. Then, they headed towards the depths of the Death Underworld Mountain, constantly looking for opportunities and fortunes. After some time, Daoist Jiuji stopped. ¡°The place ahead is not a place I can enter. It¡¯s the territory of a heavenly wolf.¡± Daoist Jiuji had tried to find a way to leave back then after he managed to survive. Unfortunately, he never found it. After all, although the terrifying heavenly wolf did not have a consciousness, it was powerful. It was at level 8 of the God Venerable realm and had extremely terrifying combat instincts. If Daoist Jiu Ji hadn¡¯t relied on the reality-like illusion, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive. Just surviving on the Death Underworld Mountain was difficult enough. Immediately, Qin Chen and the others stopped in their tracks. They looked at the Death Underworld Mountain. Who knew how many powerful and terrifying beings existed in the Death Underworld Mountain? Since Daoist Jiuji had stopped, they naturally wouldn¡¯t go over like idiots. ¡°The heavenly wolf is extremely fast. Without my help, you won¡¯t be able to pass.¡± If Qin Chen and the others let go of Daoist Jiuji, his terrifying illusion secret technique would be of great help. Although the illusion couldn¡¯t bring them straight through this place, it could suppress the heavenly wolf¡¯s strength. Daoist Jiuji looked at Qin Chen. Now, it would depend on whether Qin Chen had the courage or not. Qin Chen was also hesitating. Both parties were now enemies of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, and they could be considered to have gotten to know each other through fighting. Therefore, after thinking it through, he decided to release Daoist Jiuji. However, he also left a safety measure on Daoist Jiuji. There was a divine power shackle in Daoist Jiuji¡¯s body that would allow Qin Chen to kill him with a thought. If the other party did not play any tricks, they could attack together and bypass the terrifying heavenly wolf. Qin Chen released Daoist Jiuji and everyone was in disbelief. ¡°Elder King! We can¡¯t release him!¡¯ If Daoist Jiuji turned against them, they would be pushing themselves into the fire pit or digging a hole to bury themselves. This was what everyone was worried about. They could not do this. Daoist Jiuji was too dangerous. Qin Chen waved his hand. With Daoist Jiuji, their chances of passing through the territory of the heavenly wolf would be much greater.. Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: Too Terrifying Chapter 678: Too Terrifying Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio With this, the lives of Qin Chen and the others would be in the hands of Daoist If Daoist Jiuji wanted to kill them, it would be too easy. Qin Chen simply nodded, ¡°I trust you.¡± This sentence was a warning. Qin Chen had left a trump card in Daoist Jiuji¡¯s body. With just a thought, Daoist Jiuji would die. Moreover, Qin Chen and the others wouldn¡¯t die instantly at the hands of the heavenly wolf either. Therefore, if Daoist Jiuji was smart, he would not choose to attack them. Thinking of this, Qin Chen turned his head, looking ahead. ¡°Does this heavenly wolf have any weaknesses?¡± The heavenly wolf was a powerful demonic beast and had almost no weaknesses. As long as it discovered Qin Chen and the others, it would definitely attack with all its might. Facing a level 8 God Venerable-realm expert, Qin Chen really didn¡¯t know if they could defeat the beast. However, since there was Daoist Jiuji¡¯s terrifying illusion, it was not impossible. At least they had a good chance. Then, Daoist Jiuji said, ¡°The heavenly wolf has a speed that is comparable to the rocs. Its attack power is also extremely powerful.¡± Hearing this, no one knew what Qin Chen was thinking. Then, he led everyone into the territory of the heavenly wolf. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± No matter how much the big scorpion and the others wanted to say, they could only swallow it. Each had their thoughts. Suddenly, an aura seemed to have locked onto everyone. ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± Daoist Jiuji narrowed his eyes and prepared for a great battle. Although he had been injured by Qin Chen and the others, it didn¡¯t affect his ability to unleash the illusion secret technique. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and the others. Now that the heavenly wolf had locked onto them, this meant that they had no way out. They could only fight against the heavenly wolf. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others released their power to the limit and prepared to make a move. After all, the terrifying heavenly wolf was an existence that even Daoist Jiuji was no match for. Since they wanted to challenge such a terrifying existence, they could only use their full strength. Immediately after, Qin Chen circulated his Chaotic Divine Body, pushing his strength to the limit. At the same time, everyone looked at Qin Chen. There was no fear in their eyes. Terrifying auras erupted one after another. As a terrifying aura erupted from the void, everyone could not help but look over. A green figure instantly tore through the void and arrived in front of everyone. It was a giant wolf that was staring at everyone with black saliva flowing from its mouth. Its combat strength back when it was alive had reached level 8 of the God Venerable realm, and its strength had been perfectly preserved after its death. It looked at Qin Chen and the others as if it wanted to choose who to attack first. Sensing the terrifying pressure released by the heavenly wolf, everyone was extremely apprehensive. At this moment, Daoist Jiuji took the initiative to attack. He condensed a wooden spear and threw it at Qin Chen. Instantly, Qin Chen felt terrifying killing intent. However, it did not come from Daoist Jiuji behind him, but from in front of him. In an instant, the heavenly wolf had arrived in front of him. Before Qin Chen could react, Daoist Jiuji behind him had already shot out a wooden spear. The speed of the wooden spear was as fast as lightning. Only with such speed could it intercept the heavenly wolf. Sensing the killing intent, the heavenly wolf instantly took a step back and was not hit by the terrifying wooden spear. Immediately, cold sweat broke out on Qn Chen¡¯s forehead as he hurriedly retreated. If it wasn¡¯t for Daoist Jiuji, he might have already been injured by the heavenly wolf. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast made their moves. A great battle was about to break out. In an instant, they attacked the terrifying heavenly wolf. The two of them spat out terrifying flames, wanting to burn the heavenly wolf to death. Unfortunately, the heavenly wolf dodged them. As expected of a beast that could keep up with the speed of the rocs. Even the void trembled. The terrifying flames of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast only burned the afterimages left behind by the heavenly wolf. Then, the heavenly wolf attacked again, this time targeting the flame-wing beast. It appeared in front of the flame-wing beast and struck out with its claw. Although the flame-wing beast also possessed the bloodline of a divine beast, it was a pity that its realm was far from being as powerful as the heavenly wolf. It tried to resist while panicking, but in the end, it was sent flying. Even the true dragon did not expect that the flame-wing beast would be severely injured in a flash. This was simply beyond its expectations. The flame-wing beast spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed loudly instead, ¡°Hahaha! Delightful!¡¯ The true dragon let out a dragon roar and charged toward the heavenly wolf. The severely injured flame-wing beast also charged forward. The heavenly wolf was fighting against the two of them alone, but it was not at a disadvantage at all. In just a few breaths, they had already exchanged thousands of blows. Every exchange released a terrifying fluctuation that made people¡¯s hearts skip a beat. One could imagine how terrifying the heavenly wolf was. The heavenly wolf¡¯s eyes were lifeless. It had long died. Only its fighting instincts remained. If it had consciousness, even the true dragon and the flame-wing beast coupled together would be forced into a desperate situation. Sensing the terrifying attacks, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast did not dare to hold back. ¡°This is too terrifying! Even if the big scorpion and Qin Chen wanted to join the battle, it was impossible. If they were to get involved in a battle of this level, they would probably die without leaving even a speck of dust behind. This was the battle between God Venerable realm experts. Under the joint efforts of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, terrifying powers of rules were continuously released. One could imagine how powerful their attacks were. Even a star would probably be blown up by the three of them. Following that, the true dragon spat out a mouthful of blood. A deep wound was left on its body, and dragon blood kept dripping down. One had to know that the true dragon¡¯s body was already one of the best in the same realm. However, under the attack of the heavenly wolf, it still sustained terrifying injuries. At this point, the flame-wing beast also pulled away from the heavenly wolf. In an instant, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon each formed an identical clone. Without a need for instructions, Daoist Jiuji joined the battlefield as well. It was not easy to take down that terrifying heavenly wolf without a certain level of strength.. Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: Killing the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 679: Killing the Heavenly Wolf Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The realistic clones were created by an illusion. Daoist Jiuji emanated a terrifying aura. He had once fought against the heavenly wolf. Although he did not know what the other party¡¯s weakness was, he could still reduce the pressure on Qin Chen and the others. Qin Chen smiled. The reason why Daoist Jiuji attacked was to destroy the heavenly wolf. After all, the two of them had a grudge. Now that he had this opportunity, he would definitely not let it go. In just a moment, the clones of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon appeared. The terrifying heavenly wolf felt greatly threatened, not knowing that this was an illusion. Dealing with one flame-wing beast and one true dragon was already too much for it. Now that there were two flame-wing beasts and two true dragons, it didn¡¯t know if it could stop them. The flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and their clones immediately charged over. Four figures charged toward the heavenly wolf at the same time. Before the heavenly wolf could react, mighty pressure descended on its body. It was as if a quasi-emperor was watching it from the shadows. In an instant, its fur bristled. The terrifying aura really made it feel fatally threatened. It wasn¡¯t sure if it could withstand the aura. Of course, the quasi-emperor-realm aura was also an illusion. The purpose was to take down the heavenly wolf. To do this, Daoist Jiuji was continuously increasing his power while releasing the illusion. After all, he had almost died because of the heavenly wolf in the past. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon instantly charged at the heavenly wolf. Before the heavenly wolf could react, it was smashed into the ground by a terrifying force. It was so terrifying that it was almost killed! Unfortunately, the heavenly wolf was ready to fight with all its might as well. It instantly flew up from the ground. ¡°Not good! The heavenly wolf still has the strength to fight.¡± Although the big scorpion couldn¡¯t join the battle, he couldn¡¯t help but worry for the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. After all, this was not a game. Every time they exchanged hands, it was a collision of life and death. If one did not have extremely powerful strength, one would probably die at the hands of the heavenly wolf. The true dragon attacked again. No matter what, they couldn¡¯t allow the other party to fight back. heavenly seemed to have started to fight while putting its life on the line. Its speed became even faster. Before anyone could see clearly, it had torn apart the true dragon¡¯s illusory clone. It then charged toward the flame-wing beast. With that, the flame-wing beast¡¯s illusory clone was also destroyed. This also allowed the true dragon and the flame-wing beast to find a way to fight. They instantly charged over and bombarded the heavenly wolf¡¯s body. The heavenly wolf was no ordinary existence. It couldn¡¯t possibly be easily injured by the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. Then, with a loud bang, its attack landed on the true dragon and the flame-wing beast instead. They simply couldn¡¯t withstand this terrifying attack. However, the attacks of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast also landed on the heavenly wolf. This could be considered exchanging injury for injury. However, the heavenly wolf did not hesitate at all although it couldn¡¯t withstand the terrifying attack. The three of them vomited blood at the same time. Then, they fell heavily to the ground. It made people feel extremely fearful. Daoist Jiuji released a terrifying illusion at this point, and the candle dragon appeared once again. With that, the heavenly wolf attacked the candle dragon fearlessly. No matter how badly injured the heavenly wolf was, it still seemed to be fine. Everyone gasped This was simply the most terrifying existence in the world Being unable to feel fear and pain, it was terrifying. The only thing the heavenly wolf wanted to do was to get rid of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. However, the sudden appearance of the candle dragon was too much for the heavenly wolf to handle. ¡°Roar!¡± The heavenly wolf let out a furious roar and charged at the candle dragon. The candle dragon pressed down with its palm. Being the size of a star, the candle dragon was extremely terrifying. It could seemingly destroy the heavenly wolf. ¡°It seems to almost be exhausted.¡± Qin Chen could already tell that no matter how capable the heavenly wolf was, it wouldn¡¯t be able to last much longer. He believed that it would not be long before the wolf died. At that time, it would be the time for Qin Chen and the others to take action. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately made his preparations. He infused the divine power in his body into the innate sword embryo and used the Moving Secret Technique to deliver the final blow to the heavenly wolf. Unfortunately, even if the heavenly wolf was at the end of its flight, it was still not something Qin Chen could deal with. Qin Chen, a God Emperor, rushed toward it, wanting to kill it. He used the innate sword embryo to unleash the extreme emperor might, then slashed out one sword after another that transformed into incomparably cold sword intents. He wanted to kill heavenly Unfortunately, the heavenly wolf was not a pushover although it was weak. After all, a weak camel was still bigger than a horse. It launched an attack, sending Qin Chen flying. If not for the protection of the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, Qin Chen would have been finished by now. It was possible that he would have been torn apart by this attack. That being said, the situation was still alright now because the candle dragon was restraining the heavenly wolf. At this moment, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon also reacted and charged over, wanting to take care of the heavenly wolf. Faced with the candle dragon, the heavenly wolf was already full of flaws. As the flame-wing beast and the true dragon regained their senses, they immediately attacked, wanting to destroy the heavenly wolf. The heavenly wolf spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, blood flowed out of its body, dyeing its green fur red. It looked like it was about to collapse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast took the initiative to attack it again. No matter what, they could not let the heavenly wolf live. Otherwise, they might be the ones to die next. Then, the heavenly wolf fell to the ground, smashing out a huge pit. This was something that neither the flame-wing beast nor the true dragon had expected. At this moment, the heavenly wolf was in a terrible state. There were countless wounds on its body, and it was extremely miserable. Unfortunately, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon would not let it go. Only by killing the heavenly wolf could they be at ease. Otherwise, they would be leaving behind a great disaster that may plunge Qin Chen and the others into danger.. Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: White Green Divine Cloud Bottle Chapter 680: White Green Divine Cloud Bottle Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The flame-wing beast immediately burned the terrifying heavenly wolf to death. Nothing of it was left. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± At this moment, Daoist Jiuji was still in disbelief. To think the heavenly wolf was dead. One had to know that heavenly was a terrifying existence that could threaten his life. Back then, he was not a match for the heavenly wolf and was almost destroyed. Thinking of this, Daoist Jiuji was still incredulous. But now, they had indeed killed the heavenly wolf. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others began to recover from their injuries. Although the heavenly wolf was dead, there were other terrifying existences. If they did not recover from their injuries, it would be too late by the time those terrifying existences appeared. It did not take long for everyone to recover from their injuries. Even if there were serious injuries, it would not be a big deal since they could devour and refine natural treasures to recover while they traveled. Then, everyone continued to move forward, where even Daoist Jiuji had never been before. He didn¡¯t know what kind of terrifying danger lay ahead. They were all vigilant. After all, they were not very powerful at the moment. There was a high possibility of them encountering an existence even more terrifying than the heavenly wolf. Who knew how¡¯ many terrifying existences there were in this Death Underworld Mountain? Those existences had all been invincible experts back when they were alive. Unfortunately, they were now dead and had lost their consciousness, turning into walking corpses. ¡°There¡¯s something extremely terrifying in this Underworld Mountain.¡± This encounter with the heavenly wolf made the big scorpion even more convinced that there would be great terror here. It was simply inconceivable for them to even attempt to pass through the Death Underworld Mountain. If they did not have much strength, it was very likely that that terrifying existence would catch them. At that time, everything would be over. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt somewhat helpless. He did not want to meet these terrifying existences either, but there was no other way. If they wanted to survive, they could only pass through the Death Underworld Mountain. On top of that, Death Underworld Mountain inexplicably contained a large amount of death aura. It was already very good that they could hold on until now, given their strength. Following this, Qin Chen felt excited because he felt a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation. Could it be that there was a place where powerful divinity was left in front of him? This was enough to make people feel apprehensive. If they did not become stronger, they would probably die at any time. They continued to move forward. Qin Chen knew that in such a mysterious place, it was very likely that somewhere with powerful divinity remnants would appear. Speaking of which, even the master of the powerful divine remnants had been here. Did he succeed? Or did he ultimately die in the Death Underworld Mountain? Qin Chen wondered about it. But now, he could only brace himself and charge forward. If there really was an expert who could leave behind a powerful divinity remnant and die here, even if Qin Chen managed to check in there, he would still ultimately die. Still, Qin Chen led everyone forward. At this moment, they could feel a terrifying aura. ¡°What kind of terrifying aura is this?¡± Even the big scorpion was so frightened that he almost jumped. One could imagine how terrifying the existence in front of them was. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what to say. What he was afraid of had really happened. It couldn¡¯t be that there really was an expert who could leave behind a powerful divine remnant that died here, right? This Death Underworld Mountain was truly too terrifying. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what to do. Even if they gave it their all, they would not be a match for the other party. Even though the other party was dead, he could send Qin Chen and the others to Heaven with just a thought. Currently, Qin Chen could only accept it silently. If he wanted to live, he could only risk his life to survive. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to survive. ¡°Look! What¡¯s that, Elder King?¡± The big scorpion suddenly noticed something in front of them. Feeling a little shocked, he looked at Qin Chen. Qin Chen had also noticed what had appeared. It was a huge watchtower. This huge watchtower seemed to be a magic item left behind by an expert. However, there seemed to be nothing left of this huge watchtower. Its spiritual energy was already gone because a finger had pierced through it. Presumably, the owner of the huge watchtower should already be dead. Qin Chen smiled. The fluctuations they felt couldn¡¯t be from this huge watchtower, right? Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others slowly approached the huge watchtower. In moments like this, they had to be more careful. Otherwise, they would likely be doomed. Immediately after, Qin Chen arrived in front of the huge watchtower. It was a pity that the powerful divine remnants on the huge watchtower were constantly dissipating. If Qin Chen had come a little later, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to check-in. This powerful divinity remnant was emitted from where the finger had pierced through the huge watchtower. How powerful was the cultivator to be able to pierce through this magic item? Qin Chen shuddered when he thought of this. Then, he looked at the finger mark on the huge watchtower. At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Ding, dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been discovered here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] There weren¡¯t many places in the Death Underworld Mountain that Qin Chen could check-in. If he missed it, God knows if he could wait until the next time he encountered a place with powerful divinity remnants. With that, Qin Chen said, ¡°Check in.¡± [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in to the place where Quasi-emperor Qi Yao fought. You have received the reward, the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle!] [White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle: A one-time consumable. A terrifying magic item refined by the former Quasi-emperor Yao. It contains an attack from a Supreme expert. It¡¯s incomparably terrifying.] At this point, a bottle with a white bottom and a terrifying aura appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. It contained a huge aura fluctuation that was extremely terrifying. Qin Chen had never heard of the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle before. He put it away, treating it as his trump card. If he used it well, it might be of great help to him. Now, if they wanted to pass through this Death Underworld Mountain that was emitting the aura of death, they could only be extremely careful. Qin Chen smiled. With a trump card in his hand, no matter how terrifying the experts they encountered were, he wouldn¡¯t have to be afraid. Instead, he could attack.. Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: A Great Battle Is About to Begin Chapter 681: A Great Battle Is About to Begin Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Having obtained the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle, a smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. Then, he led everyone away. They had to continue moving forward. After destroying that terrifying heavenly wolf, it was time for them to continue to advance. No one knew what Daoist Jiuji was thinking at the moment. Speaking of Death Underworld Mountain, it was huge. It stretched for hundreds of millions of miles. If they wanted to pass through Death Underworld Mountain, it probably wouldn¡¯t be that easy. However, Daoist Jiuji¡¯s thoughts changed as he followed Qin Chen. Perhaps they could really cross Death Underworld Mountain. Everyone was thinking the same thing. Either way, staying here would only lead to death. They kept moving forward. After some time, they finally arrived at another place. This place looked extraordinary. A terrifying aura was spreading over. At this point, they should have already left the territory of the heavenly wolf. They would surely encounter great danger next. Therefore, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but raise their vigilance. After all, there were many powerful existences in Death Underworld Mountain. Daoist Jiuji had once said that a few quasi-emperor-realm experts from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had entered Death Underworld Mountain. Unfortunately, none of them survived in the end. Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the others were quite apprehensive. Even quasi-emperor-realm experts had died here, let alone them. They were not quasi-emperor-realm experts. If they encountered danger, they could only wash their necks and wait to die. Qin Chen and the others were treading on thin ice, ready to fight at any time. It was very likely that they would encounter a terrifying existence in the next second here in Death Underworld Mountain. Following this, a human who had lost half of his head seemed to have sensed something. Not far away, Qin Chen and the others were already observing the other party. The latter was probably at level 8 of the God Venerable realm. It was obvious that he was also a peerless expert who had dominated the world back when he was alive. It was a pity that he died in Death Underworld Mountain for some reason and even turned into such a bizarre appearance. Everyone was somewhat shocked. After all, such a powerful existence had appeared, and the other party was on par with the heavenly wolf from before. The reason why they hadn¡¯t been discovered yet was thanks to Daoist Jiuji¡¯s use of illusions that made them almost hidden. This human who had lost half of his head could only vaguely sense that someone had entered his territory, but he couldn¡¯t tell where they were. However, he did not know where it was. ¡°I¡¯m afraid my illusion won¡¯t last long.¡± Everyone looked at the half-headed being. Comparing their strength to the other party¡¯s, the chances of victory were only 50 ¨C 50. If the other party¡¯s strength was still relatively intact, they might fall into a bitter battle. At that time, they could only give it their all. ¡°I wonder why there are so many experts in Death Underworld Mountain and why they died here. Could it be that a great battle broke out here before?¡± To be able to have made so many experts die, one could imagine how dangerous this Place was. The danger that Qin Chen and the others had encountered was only the appetizer. God knows when they would encounter the real danger in Death Underworld Mountain. According to Doaist Jiuji, there were great opportunities and fortunes in this place. The reason why he hid here when he was being chased by the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s sect leader was that this place was not only a dangerous land but also a place with great fortune. However, the great fortune here was only a legend. On the contrary, Death Underworld Mountain had buried countless peerless experts. ¡°Will we encounter even more terrifying quasi-emperor-realm experts later on Death Underworld Mountain?¡± The big scorpion had just said this when everyone stared at him with piercing eyes. ¡°I was just saying, just saying, hehe¡­¡± The big scorpion realized that he had said something wrong and immediately shut his mouth. Not far away from them, the human who had lost half of his head was walking around as if he knew their vague location. ¡°Shit! That guy has already sensed our presence. My illusion can no longer fool him.¡± Everyone looked solemn. They didn¡¯t expect to fight against such a terrifying expert so quickly. The other party¡¯s territory was larger than the heavenly wolf, so it was obvious that he was more powerful than the latter. Therefore, they would likely fall into a life-and-death battle soon. After all, they had used all their strength just to kill the heavenly wolf. Now, this human being who had lost half of his head would definitely be even more troublesome. ¡°Hu!¡± Qin Chen exhaled heavily. They were prepared to fight the other party. At the same time, the true dragon and the flam-wing beast were also prepared They watched as the half-headed human approached them step by step. As long as Qin Chen gave the order, everyone would charge out. A terrifying aura instantly erupted. No matter how powerful Qin Chen was, he was still affected. ¡°Roar!¡¯ At this point, the half-headed human had discovered Qin Chen and the others. Daoist Jiuji¡¯s illusion could no longer conceal Qin Chen¡¯s aura. If Daoist Jiuji was at his peak state, he wouldn¡¯t need to expend much strength to deal with this half-headed human being. But now, he couldn¡¯t even conceal their presence with his illusion. The other party was coming! Qin Chen and the others looked at the half-headed human. The latter¡¯s face was already indistinguishable, but he seemed to be smiling. Then, he charged over. It was hard to imagine who had cut off half of this terrifying existence¡¯s head. The other party seemed to be mocking them. He seemed to be ridiculing their courage to come over and seek death, given their weak strength. They simply did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Although the other party was already dead and had lost consciousness, his combat strength was still intact. Terrifying light shone from his body, and it was incomparably terrifying. It rushed straight toward Qin Chen and the others. Soon after, Qin Chen and the others saw a scorching divine light that could seemingly ignite the heavens and earth appear before them. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately made their moves. Their bodies were incomparably powerful as they attacked the terrifying human existence and instantly blocked the terrifying attack Following this, Daoist Jiuji pushed his power to the limit. With that, huge thorns suddenly appeared on the ground, filling the place with sharp thorns. They swept towards the terrifying human who had lost half his head. A great battle was about to break out. Qin Chen also held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused his divine power into it.. A terrifying extreme emperor might erupted as he slashed out a terrifying sword attack! Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: What Is On The Other side? Chapter 682: What Is On The Other side? Translator: Nyai-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-ao Studio The sword attack seemed to be able to split apart a section of the galaxy, and the void within ten thousand miles shook. The big scorpion and the others released their attacks as well, wanting to kill that terrifying expert. After all, this half-headed human was no ordinary enemy. If they made a mistake, they would die. Therefore, they did not dare to hold back at all. They crazily attacked the half-headed human, wanting to make the other party attack and thus reduce the pressure on everyone. Looking at the countless thorns coming toward him, the human existence let out a low roar. With that, an incomparably terrifying fluctuation erupted like a volcanic eruption, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble. The terror of this terrifying existence back when he was alive was simply unimaginable. The thorns that filled the sky shattered. The attacks of Qin Chen and the others were all annihilated in the void as well. Then, the half-headed human stomped, causing the earth to crack. Following this, he charged toward the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon spat out blood and were sent flying, smashing into the ground. At the same time, Daoist Jiuji let out a furious roar. His hair moved even though there was no wind. In an instant, a candle dragon the size of a star appeared in front of the half-headed human. When the candle dragon attacked, it was extremely terrifying. Its huge palm turned into the size of the world as if it wanted to crush this human existence! Currently, Daoist Jiuji could only use illusions to fight his enemies. Unfortunately, his candle dragon would not last long because illusions could only target real living beings. For these existences in Death Underworld Mountain that were neither human nor ghost, the illusion would not be able to hold on for long. Then, Qin Chen saw that the terrifying human being actually stepped into the void and faced the candle dragon head-on! To think he withstood the candle dragon¡¯s huge palm! This made everyone extremely shocked. Fortunately, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had already recovered. The power of rules appeared on their bodies. After reaching the God Venerable realm, one could then use the power of rules to fight one¡¯s enemies. The power of rules was strong beyond imagination. The terrifying power of rules of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon seemed to have condensed into substance as they blasted toward the half-headed human. Unexpectedly, the terrifying human existence used his physical body to withstand the attack, and it only caused his chest to cave in a little! At this point, even if everyone bombarded the terrifying existence with all their might, it would be difficult to injure him in a short time. The half-headed human had long lost all sense of pain. Even if his body turned into nothingness, he wouldn¡¯t stop. ¡°Roar!¡¯ The candle dragon, which was the size of a star, was torn apart by the terrifying half-headed human. With this, Daoist Jiuji was counterattacked by the illusion, and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose. His eyes were bloodshot. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he had been severely injured and his cultivation had decreased, how could he have been defeated by this level 8 God Venerable realm half-headed human? Since things had come to this, Qin Chen could only take out the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle. Although he had just obtained it, he had no choice but to use it. After all, such a terrifying half-headed human was not something they could deal with now. It was impossible to turn back now either. Following that, Qn Chen took out the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle from his storage ring and everyone was extremely excited. They didn¡¯t have a choice. There was simply too huge a difference in strength between them and this half-headed human. Qin Chen held the White-Green Divine Cloud Bottle in his hand, his face filled with rage. ¡°Since you¡¯re already dead, why are you still here?¡± The half-headed human himself most certainly didn¡¯t want to become like this after his death either. The bottle in Qin Chen¡¯s hand that was emitting a terrifying aura seemed to have awakened. Even the half-headed human was attracted. With a loud bang, a terrifying shadow seemed to be released from the White Green Divine Cloud Bottle. This shadow attacked the half-headed human. Even a quasi-emperor might not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack. Qin Chen roared, ¡°Die!¡¯ With that, an incomparably terrifying attack landed on the half-headed human, causing him to lose his ability to move. Then, his body could not withstand this terrifying attack and actually turned into snowflakes that scattered into the world. Such a terrifying level 8 God Venerable realm human existence was finally dead. He seemed to feel relieved before he died and seemed to be thanking Qin Chen, As a cultivator, it was really miserable to end up like this. Instead of becoming such an existence that was neither human nor a ghost, he might as well die and leave this world completely. They finally managed to kill that terrifying human existence. At this moment, everyone could finally rest. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast were the most severely injured. It took them several days to finally recover from their injuries. Right now, they still had to continue moving forward even though they didn¡¯t know what kind of terrifying existences they would encounter ahead. At this point, Daoist Jiuji had already followed Qin Chen and the others to kill two level-8 God Venerable-realm experts. Unfortunately, such existences were definitely not rare in Death Underworld Mountain. On the contrary, there would be even more terrifying existences to come. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Everyone then walked forward step by step. They had to cross Death Underworld Mountain. Otherwise, they would die here. None of them wanted to die. Therefore, they could only continue moving forward and take a gamble on whether they could leave this place alive. ¡°What is on the other side of Death Underworld Mountain?¡± No one knew, including Daoist Jiuji who had been the Holy Son of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, a supreme orthodoxy in the Sky-east Star Region. Was there really an exit ahead? However, if they turned back, death was sure. The Thousand Yin Holy Sect would not let them off. Any quasi-emperor-realm expert from the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would be enough to wipe them out. Everyone lowered their heads in silence. They knew that there were even more dangerous and terrifying creatures ahead. Just an existence at level 8 of the God Venerable realm was enough to make them almost die. Still, right now, they could only keep moving forward. They could not stop. Even if they died, they would only allow themselves to die on the road ahead. If they advanced, they might have a chance of survival. If they retreated, what was waiting for them would be a bottomless abyss where death was definite.. Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: The Thousand Yin Holy Sect’s Forbidden Ground Chapter 683: The Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s Forbidden Ground Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen and the others¡¯ goal was to go to the other side of Death Underworld Mountain. Only on the other side could they survive. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Qin Chen said. Everyone followed him. Many experts should have died in a place like Death Underworld Mountain after such a huge incident. Similarly, since so many experts had died, there should be powerful divinity left behind. Therefore, as long as Qin Chen found places where there were powerful divinity remnants, he could naturally become very powerful. As such, he was currently extending his spiritual will forward. After all, only when he found a place with powerful divinity remnants could he use the system to check-in. He would then have a chance to resist the attacks of those terrifying existences. Only by taking care of these terrifying existences could they continue to move forward and arrive at the other side of Death Underworld Mountain. Following this, Qin Chen led everyone forward. Right now, they could only move forward cautiously since Qin Chen no longer had any trump cards in his hands. This also meant that this time, they would be fighting with their backs against the wall if they encountered a terrifying existence Otherwise, they would die here, in Death Underworld Mountain. They continued to move forward and finally arrived at another place. They were still in Death Underworld Mountain, but a carpet of grass was growing here. It made people wonder if there was life here. One had to know that there was some kind of withering power in Death Underworld Mountain that would penetrate the bodies of living beings. Yet, this place seemed a little different. In a place like this, life force appeared. Would it be life or death for them? Could it be that out of the depth of misfortune came bliss? Was this really a pure land in Death Underworld Mountain? There must be something wrong. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t dare to be careless. At this moment, Daoist Jiuji said with a trembling body, ¡°Found it¡­ Found it! Before my master died, he told me something. Death Underworld Mountain might be a forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. There¡¯s life here, which means that this place might really be the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s forbidden ground.¡± Qin Chen was extremely shocked. He did not expect that there would be such a secret here. To think Death Underworld Mountain might be a forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Daoist Jiuji continued to say shocking words, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble. ¡°The Thousand Yin Holy Sect was originally a low-tier sect. When it was about to be annexed, the ancestral master found a place where he managed to survive and become incomparably strong. However, he has never told anyone about where the place is. The cultivators of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect only know that this place is a forbidden ground.¡± And now, they had arrived at this place in Death Underworld Mountain. It merged with the forbidden ground that Daoist Jiuji knew about. ¡°I found it!¡¯ If this place in Death Underworld Mountain was truly the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s forbidden ground, that meant that it could help Daoist Jiuji step onto the road of quasi-emperor again. At that time, he might be able to kill his way back to the Thousand Yin Holy Sect and take back everything he had lost! Daoist Jiuji cried. He had been living in this godforsaken place like a ghost. Countless times, he wanted to fight his way out. But now, to think he had finally found the forbidden ground that his master had mentioned! ¡°Death Underworld Mountain has such a great background?¡± The big scorpion was in disbelief. Qin Chen slowly said, ¡°Even if this place in Death Underworld Mountain isn¡¯t a forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, it has some connections with them.¡± After saying this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with excitement. They had come to the right place. If this place really had some great fortune or opportunity, there was hope for them to become even stronger. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Since this was the forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, they couldn¡¯t stop. Daoist Jiu suddenly spoke, ¡°If another level 8 God Venerable realm expert appears, I can heavily injure him. I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Qin Chen and the others were surprised. Was Daoist Jiuji ready to go all out and fight with his life? If it wasn¡¯t for Qin Chen and the others, it would have been impossible for Daoist Jiuji to reach the place he was looking for in Death Underworld Mountain alone. As such, he was prepared to use all his strength to help everyone to move forward. They advanced. At this moment, a fluctuation appeared in front of him. They stopped in their tracks because what would appear in front of them could only be an even stronger existence. Qin Chen threw the natural treasures in his storage ring to Daoist Jiuji, allowing him to recover his strength. Only in this way could they continue to move forward. If they lost their strength, they might die. It wasn¡¯t just Daoist Jiuji alone. It was the same for Qin Chen and the others as well. They were now on the same boat. Daoist Jiuji didn¡¯t refuse and recovered his strength quickly. It was also at this moment that a terrifying figure suddenly appeared in front of them. A rusty ancient sword was stabbed into his body, emitting powerful fluctuations while blood dripped down. This terrifying figure was dressed like an Emperor. It was very likely that he had been in the quasi-emperor realm back when he was alive. However, it was also because he had been killed by that sword that his current aura was only at level 8 of the God Venerable realm. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. If it was a quasi-emperor, they would die here even if they had three heads and six arms. Everyone followed Qin Chen and continued moving forward. The terrifying Emperor also sensed their presence. Then, he attacked, wanting to kill them. This Emperor must have been in the quasi-emperor realm when he was alive. Even though he was dead, terrifying rules still appeared on his body. It was extremely terrifying and made one¡¯s heart palpitate. The terrifying Emperor exuded a strong emperor¡¯s might. This was the aura of an Emperor that belonged to the human world. It was hard to imagine just how large a dynasty could produce such a terrifying Emperor. He continued to approach Qin Chen and the others, and the latter also made their moves at this moment. Although the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were not as powerful as Daoist Jiuji, their bodies were strong and suitable for close combat, while Daoist Jiuji was only suited for long-distance attacks using illusions. If they couldn¡¯t even defeat this terrifying Emperor, they would not be able to continue advancing. As such, everyone burst out with a terrifying fighting spirit. Even though their strength was far inferior to this terrifying Emperor, they still erupted with their full strength at this moment, wanting to kill the other party. Qin Chen immediately wielded his innate sword embryo and slashed out sword after sword.. Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: The Terrifying Daoist Jiuji Chapter 684: The Terrifying Daoist Jiuji Translator: Nyai-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-ao Studio Each sword carried a terrifying aura. The extreme emperor might emitted by the extreme emperor weapon was extremely terrifying. Then, everyone released their full strength. Facing this terrifying Emperor, they could only go all out. Otherwise, there was no possibility of survival. At this moment, Daoist Jiuji also released an illusion. As Daoist Jiuji burned his blood essence, everyone felt an extremely terrifying aura. It seemed to have reached the quasi-emperor realm! Daoist Jiuji had once been extremely close to the quasi-emperor realm. Now, he had only returned to his former peak state for a short time. If it wasn¡¯t for Daoist Jiuji, Qin Chen and the others might not have been able to survive the terrifying Emperor. Countless terrifying illusions appeared. Ancient ferocious beasts and unspeakable existences seemed to have descended, and they were all formed from Daoist Jiuji¡¯s illusion. At this point, Daoist Jiuji had used all his strength. Only in this way could he kill that terrifying existence. Daoist Jiuji was once a proud prodigy, and at this moment, it was as if he had returned to the past. Naturally, he looked down on the world. This terrifying Emperor was already dead. Since he was already dead, could the other party still resist him? As the terrifying illusion descended, everyone also felt an extremely terrifying pressure. However, there was nothing they could do now other than use their full strength to attack that terrifying Emperor. The other party¡¯s majestic aura seemed to have come alive and was extremely powerful. They wondered if it was because of the aura of life in this place of Death Underworld Mountain that caused the other party to mutate. Still, nothing could stop them from wanting to kill this terrifying Emperor. As soon as the Emperor attacked, some of the majestic aura condensed into emperor rules. It carried the will to suppress the heavens and attacked everyone. The countless existences in the illusion charged toward the terrifying Emperor as if they wanted to destroy him. Terrifying auras were released and instantly, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The incomparably terrifying auras enveloped everyone as they watched the battle between Daoist Jiuji and the terrifying Emperor. Even with all of them added together, they might not be able to resist the other party. ¡°Roar!¡¯ The Emperor seemed to be roaring from his throat. He also felt a fatal threat. If this continued, perhaps the terrifying Emperor would be able to give birth to a spirit within his dead body. At that time, if they encountered that spirit, death would be their destiny. Although the Emperor who had come back to life was not himself, if his body was controlled by the spirit, their deaths would be certain. Then, everyone became excited because, at this moment, Daoist Jiuji had gained the upper hand. Although the terrifying Emperor had torn apart countless illusions, realistic existences that were even more powerful continued to form and wanted to kill him. ¡°To think Daoist Jiuji is so powerful!¡¯ The big scorpion and the others felt as if their horizons had been broadened. If they had allowed Daoist Jiuji to use his full strength back then, they might have all died in his hands. The terrifying Emperor was slammed into the ground by a giant God formed by the illusion. The ground was shattered for thousands of miles. One could imagine how terrifying the illusion was. Daoist Jiuji knew that he couldn¡¯t fight for a long time. He could only deal with the other party within a short time. Otherwise, he might die. Everyone was extremely excited. If they could destroy this terrifying Emperor, they would have a chance of surviving and continuing to advance. At the same time, Daoist Jiuji also seemed to be on the verge of breaking down. His face was flushed red and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Daoist Jiuji was extremely ferocious as he charged out. Now that he was about to be exhausted, he had to at least severely injure this terrifying Emperor. This would give Qin Chen and the others a chance to kill him. What a pity¡­ Daoist Jiuji sighed in his heart. If he could have lasted a little longer, he would have been able to kill this terrifying Emperor. Unfortunately, his cultivation had already fallen to a lower realm. Now that he had burned his blood essence to achieve whatever he had just done, he had already exhausted all his strength. He couldn¡¯t make a move any time soon, and his vitality was greatly damaged. It was also very difficult to recover, which was why he wanted to severely injure this terrifying Emperor while he could. Daoist Jiuji controlled the terrifying existences that he had formed with the illusion and attacked fiercely again. The Emperor who wanted to get up was continuously attacked Even though that terrifying Emperor had a terrifying aura, he could not hold on any longer either. He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood dripped and actually corroded the ground. Daoist Jiuji continued to attack, wanting to take care of the Emperor who was clearly severely injured. Unfortunately, he no longer had any power. His aura instantly withered, and he was on the verge of death. The big scorpion moved and supported Daoist Jiuji. Qin Chen also gave the natural treasures in his storage ring to Daoist Jiuji for him to consume and refine. Otherwise, if his injuries worsened, God knows whether he could survive. The terrifying Emperor stood up again, but the aura on his body was not as terrifying as before. It was obvious that he had been severely injured. Now was the best time to kill him. The flame-wing beast and the true dragon roared. Then, they transformed into their original forms and charged toward the terrifying Emperor. The others still did not know what was going on when they were forced back. One could imagine the strength of the Emperor. Even after being severely injured, he was still strong. After all, a starved camel was still stronger than a horse. Qin Chen and the others could only use their full strength to try to kill this terrifying Emperor. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Qin Chen relied on his Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor to charge toward the Emperor. Only by killing the Emperor could they survive. Once they let the tiger return to the mountain and allowed the Emperor to recover, without Daoist Jiuji, everyone would be fish on the chopping board. Seeing this, everyone went berserk. Holding the Innate Sword Fetus, Qin Chen adjusted his aura to its peak state and charged toward the Emperor. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast, two level-4 God Venerable realm experts, were barely able to stall the terrifying Emperor. If they wanted to destroy the other party, they could only exhaust him slowly and wear him out to death.. Chapter 685 - Chapter 685: Killing the Emperor Chapter 685: Killing the Emperor Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio The flame-wing beast and the true dragon joined forces and surrounded the terrifying Emperor. Following that, terrifying aura fluctuations descended. ¡°This terrifying Emperor is already at the end of his rope!¡± The big scorpion roared excitedly, slashing out with his large saber. Seeing this, everyone was invigorated. Terrifying attacks fell on the terrifying Emperor¡¯s body like snowflakes. Everyone made their moves. If they continued to encircle and suppress the terrifying Emperor, the latter would definitely be unable to hold on in the end. That was why everyone was so frenzied now. The one who would ultimately lose would surely be the terrifying Emperor. Thinking of this, the flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others immediately made their moves, wanting to destroy him. This terrifying Emperor had been a quasi-emperor-realm expert before he died He would never have thought that he would become such an existence that was neither human nor a ghost after his death, and even be besieged by these weaklings. Wounds appeared on the terrifying Emperor¡¯s body as his attacks slowly weakened. If this continued, his death was certain! Daoist Jiuji was extremely energized. As long as they could deal with this terrifying Emperor, they would be able to continue moving forward. In the end, they would surely be able to find great fortune and opportunity in Death Underworld Mountain. Then, everyone became excited because the terrifying Emperor had taken a step back. Blood spurted from the wounds on his body like a fountain. It made people feel that victory was right ahead. Qin Chen¡¯s sword slashed at the vital point of the terrifying Emperor. In response, many powerful emperor rules appeared on the other party¡¯s body, wanting to kill Qin Chen. Even if Qin Chen had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he might not be able to survive. Seeing this, the true dragon tore through the void and used its body to block in front of Qin Chen. Immediately, the true dragon¡¯s body was torn apart, leaving behind a gnashing wound. It was so deep that one could see bones. Blood dripped down as it let out a low roar. Qin Chen immediately retreated. The flame-wing beast went forward, slamming heavily into the terrifying Emperor¡¯s body, smashing him into the ground. At the same time, the big scorpion, Holy Maiden Mu Xue, and Yuji used all their strength to attack the terrifying Emperor. Qin Chen roared in rage. He immediately executed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, pressing down on the terrifying Emperor with a peerless fist intent and bombarding him. The terrifying Emperor could no longer hold on. He kept vomiting blood. In the end, he slammed into the ground, causing the ground to tremble. This time, he did not get up again. The terrifying Emperor¡¯s body seemed to be about to break into pieces. This was his last moment. Seeing that the other party could no longer stand, the flame-wing beast did not hesitate to spit out terrifying flames and set the Emperor on fire. In the end, the terrifying Emperor was buried in the flames. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally dealt with this fellow. Qin Chen landed and began to heal his injuries. Now that the terrifying Emperor was finally dead, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. Then, Qin Chen seemed to sense some kind of fluctuation. There was actually a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation in front of him. Could it be that there were powerful remnants of divinity ahead? This made Qin Chen perk up. If he could find powerful divinity remnants ahead, he could use the system to check-in. Everyone could no longer hold on and silently recovered from their injuries. After all, the battle had been really too intense. They had almost failed to defeat the terrifying Emperor, which might have resulted in their deaths. Qin Chen swallowed natural treasures and refined them, healing his wounds. Only in this way could he stabilize his injuries. When he thought of the powerful divinity¡¯s remnant fluctuations, Qin Chen could no longer wait. He then turned around and left. After all, God knows if there would be any other dangers here. After the great battle, none of them had any strength left. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to find the place where the powerful divinity remnant was. At least after checking in, he might have a trump card. That way, even if they faced other terrifying dangers, they would not fall to the point of having to fight with their backs against the wall. Qin Chen moved toward the place with the powerful divinity remnants while swallowing and refining the natural treasures. He had expended a lot of energy in this battle. He was only at level 4 of the God Emperor realm. Therefore, he had to be extremely careful. Otherwise, he might die. Qin Chen hurriedly chased after his senses. After some time, their figures could no longer be seen, and they had arrived at another place. It seemed to be a palace. However, this palace clearly didn¡¯t belong to Death Underworld Mountain. It looked more like it had been moved here from somewhere. So this was the case. Qin Chen had all kinds of guesses in his heart. This couldn¡¯t be the temporary residence of some quasi-emperor, right? If that were the case, it made sense. It was just that he didn¡¯t know if there would be any danger in the palace. Although this palace had existed in Death Underworld Mountain for some time, there could still be terrifying dangers. Still, Qin Chen continued to advance, arriving in front of the palace. He could feel the powerful divinity remnants¡¯ fluctuations and they were becoming increasingly intense. ¡°This should be the place.¡± The place with the powerful divinity remnants should be in this palace. Qin Chen immediately entered He pushed open the door of the palace and found that it was quite dilapidated. God knows what kind of battle the palace had experienced. There were broken walls everywhere, looking like they were about to collapse. However, Qin Chen also noticed that this place was made of various precious materials that were extremely hard. But now, it had become like this. This made Qin Chen even more vigilant. He could not be misled by greed. Therefore, he moved forward stealthily, on guard against any possible dangers around him. This was the only way to ensure his survival. Otherwise, with so many ruins in this palace, who knew where some kind of danger would pop up? Qin Chen didn¡¯t want to die here. His current realm was not that powerful either. With this, he held the Innate Sword Embryo and revived the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor as he advanced. Slowly, beads of sweat appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s forehead.. Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array Chapter 686: Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At this moment, Qin Chen saw a terrifying danger. Terrifying powers of rules remained in this palace. The energy left behind from the great battle was enough to heavily injure or even kill him. Therefore, Qn Chen didn¡¯t dare to be careless, worried that he might come into contact with terrifying powers of rules which would lead to his imminent death. It could be seen that the previous owner of this palace was also very powerful. However, things had changed and time had passed. The only things left were what Qin Chen was seeing now. Qin Chen then proceeded forward. Finally, after covering some distance, Qin Chen knew that he was getting close as the powerful divinity¡¯s remnant fluctuations grew stronger. As long as he could get close enough, he would be able to discover the exact location of the powerful divine remnants. After checking in there, he would leave. ¡°This is¡­!¡± Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect to see a statue, and in front of the statue was a corpse. It was obvious that the latter had been dead for quite some time. It was quite lifelike, so much so that Qin Chen felt as if he could even hear the other party¡¯s heartbeat. However, why didn¡¯t the corpse turn into zombies like those terrifying existences in the outside world? Could it be that there was something mysterious about this corpse? This was what surprised Qin Chen the most. The fluctuation of the corpse was extremely powerful, and the pressure it emitted was also extremely powerful. As long as Qin Chen got close, he would be pressed down by the pressure and be unable to move forward. Qin Chen immediately had other thoughts. As long as he didn¡¯t get close, there shouldn¡¯t be any danger, right? Unfortunately, the place with the powerful divinity remnants was behind the corpse, and Qin Chen couldn¡¯t go around it at all. As such, he respectfully kowtowed. Although he did not know who the expert kneeling here was, he would be disturbing the other party if he went over. It was considered disrespectful. Unfortunately, only by going over could he use the system to check-in. As such, he gritted his teeth and slowly walked over. Under the terrifying pressure, Qin Chen was soon suppressed until he spat out blood and almost knelt. But in the end, nothing happened on the corpse of the terrifying expert, allowing Qin Chen to walk over. Qin Chen walked over step by step. No one knew what he was thinking. Now, he was finally close enough to the powerful divinity remnant and the system¡¯s voice rang in his ear. Sure enough, the statue next to the kneeling corpse was the one with powerful divinity remnants. [Ding, dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been found here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] At this moment, Qin Chen had finally found a place where he could check in with the system. As long as he could do so, he would be able to obtain a trump card. When the time came, he would be able to protect himself from danger. Right now, the most important thing for him was to get a life-saving trump card. Qin Chen silently thought, ¡°Check in!¡¯ Then, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in to the Great Path stone sculpture. You have received the reward ¡°Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array¡±!] [Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array: It was refined by a powerful quasi-emperor using the flesh and blood of an ancient dragon. It has the power to kill quasi-emperors. It can be used three times and has great power! How terrifying!] Hearing this, Qin Chen was extremely excited. To think the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array had such incredible power and simply exceeded his imagination. How was this possible? Qin Chen¡¯s heart was ecstatic. This was an unexpected gain. With this, he would have three chances to kill quasi-emperor realm terrifying existences. To Qin Chen, this was equivalent to three chances to save his life. Immediately after, an array disc with dragon patterns appeared in his hand. One had to know that this thing was extremely terrifying. Just holding the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was already terrifying enough for Qin Chen. It simply exceeded his imagination. Immediately after, he put away the terrifying array. After all, this thing was his life-saving item. Otherwise, it was very easy for accidents to occur. If this precious trump card was accidentally triggered, then there would be fun. Since Qin Chen had successfully checked in, it was time to leave. When he left, he looked at the statue. Unfortunately, the statue was not something that he could lay eyes on at the moment. With that, he felt as if his consciousness was about to be sucked into the unknown statue. Unfortunately, if he wanted to leave, he would have to walk past that terrifying corpse again, where accidents may easily happen. Still, Qin Chen smiled. He once again kowtowed to the corpse of the expert who had already died. Following this, he clenched his jaw and left under immense pressure. Qin Chen was currently only at level 4 of the God Emperor realm, after all. There was no way he could be compared to such a powerful existence, let alone resist the pressure of the other party. God knows if it was because the expert could feel his sincerity, but the terrifying pressure actually weakened quite a bit. This lessened the pressure on Qin Chen. Then, Qin Chen left the palace and returned to everyone¡¯s side. At this point, everyone had almost recovered. None of them knew where Qin Chen had gone. Now, if they encountered any more danger, Qin Chen would have a way to deal with it. After all, the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array in his hand was not to be trifled with. Even quasi-emperor-realm experts would be killed by this terrifying array. Immediately, Qin Chen led everyone out of this place. They continued to move forward. Until now, Daoist Jiuji had yet to recover his strength, so he could only tollow behind Qin Chen and the others. After all, only Qin Chen and the others could bring him forward. He wanted to find great fortune in Death Underworld Mountain, so he could only follow them. After some time, Qin Chen and the others arrived at a valley. The size of Death Underworld Mountain had already exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination. However, the vitality that should not have appeared here was even denser. God knows why. Qin Chen and the others were extremely cautious as they moved forward, afraid that they would encounter something dangerous. But now, they realized that there was actually no danger in the valley.. Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: Let’s Go Chapter 687: Let¡¯s Go Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio In the end, Qin Chen and the others finally relaxed. They had already killed that terrifying Emperor. Could this be the place they were looking for? At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others continued forward. In this valley, there was not only grass but also towering trees. Qin Chen and the others wondered what this valley was. Finally, they saw something in front. It was an altar shaped like a half-moon. There seemed to be something on it. However, Qin Chen and the others were a little far away to see what it was. Following this, they moved forward. Not long after, they arrived in front of the half-moon-like altar and saw a hand on the altar. No one knew who this hand belonged to. Then, they followed Qin Chen to the side of the altar. Looking at the hand on the altar, everyone felt a powerful pressure. It must be the hand of a quasi-emperor. Moreover, the other party must have been one of the best among all quasi-emperor realm experts, belonging to the peak. Unfortunately, too much time had passed and the expert¡¯s hand had long lost its vitality. It was now like a dead branch. This was something that Qin Chen and the others had not expected. Then, Daoist Jiuji walked forward. In an instant, something unexpected happened. The hand seemed to come alive and slapped Daoist Jiuji. ¡°Not good!¡¯ When everyone saw this, they were all ready to help Daoist Jiuji resist this hand. No one had expected that this hand would suddenly attack. Moreover, it carried terrifying pressure. Unexpectedly, Daoist Jiuji waved his hand, refusing their help although his expression was quite flustered as he didn¡¯t know if he could resist this hand. However, he was taking a gamble. The Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique that he cultivated was a secret technique of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. As such, if this really was Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s forbidden ground in Death Underworld Mountain, then this hand probably wouldn¡¯t kill him, though he wasn¡¯t sure either. He then read out the opening chapter of the Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique, but the hand didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of stopping. In the end, the hand slapped Daoist Jiuji, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats. They didn¡¯t know if Daoist Jiuji could hold on. The other party might die immediately from the slap. A drop of cold sweat dripped down Daoist Jiuji¡¯s forehead. He was almost unable to move. Then, it stopped. The hand stopped. The hand with terrifying pressure stopped on the chest of Daoist Jiuji, not continuing to slap him. Otherwise, everyone could see that this palm might very well have killed Daoist After that, the hand slowly emitted a dazzling light that landed on Daoist Jiuji. Meanwhile, Daoist Jiuji seemed to be undergoing a metamorphosis. The dazzling light made his aura stronger, constantly improving. It actually allowed him to return to level 9 of the God Venerable realm before stopping. With this, he was only a small realm away from his original peak state! Immediately after, the hand seemed to have lost all its strength and turned into a withered branch, gradually dissipating in the void. Daoist Jiuji was sure that the ancestral master of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect had seen this hand before and it was inextricably linked to the Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique. Otherwise, he would have died just now. The hand had allowed Daoist Jiuji to return to level 9 of the God Venerable realm. He was only one step away from his peak state. One could imagine how excited he was. With this, if he could get great fortune and opportunity in Death Underworld Mountain, he might be able to step into the quasi-emperor realm. At that time, he could kill his way out. Being in the same realm, even if the quasi-emperors of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect attacked at the same time, they might not be able to stop him. He would finally have more chances to take revenge and take back what he had lost from the Jie Baichen. Thinking of this, Daoist Jiuji was extremely excited. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat fearful when they saw how powerful Daoist Jiuji had become. They were on the same boat now, but when everything was over, it was very likely that they would go against each other. Daoist Jiuji laughed. That being said, Qin Chen wasnt afraid that Daoist Jiuji would suddenly betray him. After all, he had the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. Even if Daoist Jiuji broke through to the quasi-emperor realm, he would still die. However, Qin Chen didn¡¯t intend to use this trump card so easily. They continued to move forward. Daoist Jiuji believed that this place was the Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s forbidden ground. If he obtained great fortune and opportunity as Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s ancestral master had done, he would be able to embark on the path of cultivation and reach the quasi-emperor realm. At this point, the hand had disappeared. Qin Chen and the others saw that the altar seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. It lost its luster and seemed to have become a dead object. Everyone continued to move forward. But now, the one walking in front was Daoist Jiuji, who was the strongest among them. To Daoist Jiuji, the person he couldn¡¯t see through was Qin Chen. This God Emperor realm human cultivator had all kinds of treasures and trump cards. It was as hidden and unbelievable as an underwater iceberg. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Since Daoist Jiuji had returned to level 9 of the God Venerable realm, everyone followed behind him. After God knows how long, everyone left the valley and came to another place. About a thousand miles away, everything seemed to have returned to its original state. There was no grass here, and the life force had disappeared again. Only then did everyone believe that they had always been in Death Underworld Mountain. Then, they continued to move forward. As long as there were no quasi-emperor-realm experts ahead, Daoist Jiuji should be more than enough to deal with any existence. Right now, Daoist Jiuji still didn¡¯t know that Qin Chen had another trump card on him. However, he had never thought of attacking Qin Chen and the others. After all, if it wasn¡¯t for them, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to come here. Perhaps he would be trapped in the periphery of Death Underworld Mountain until his lifespan was about to run out and he would just die there. Thinking of this, Daoist Jiuji looked ahead. A black shadow seemed to have flashed past in front of them. What was that? No one saw what it was clearly.. Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: Destroy Chapter 688: Destroy Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Everyone, be careful. There might be some danger ahead,¡± Ojn Chen said. In Death Underworld Mountain, danger lurked everywhere. It was very likely that a terrifying existence would appear in the next moment. Therefore, they had to ensure that they were ready at all times. After all, the number of experts who died here was astronomical. Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know why so many peerless experts had come here and even died, turning into those strange creatures that were neither human nor ghosts. As they continued to move forward, that black shadow appeared in the sky again. This time, everyone could see what the black shadow was. It was a ferocious bird with a phoenix bloodline that was burning with ghostly flames. This caused their hearts to tremble. Now, even a descendant of a vicious bird with the bloodline of a phoenix had appeared. The other party seemed to be at level 9 of the God Venerable realm. If it had been alive, it would likely have been at the peak of the God Venerable Realm. Immediately, everyone felt a little wary as they wondered if Daoist Jiuji could deal with the terrifying bird. Daoist Jiuji was also shocked and didn¡¯t know what to do. The phoenix descendant that was burning with ghostly flames seemed to have been hovering in the sky all this time. It did not attack them. Although there was such a long distance between them, they believed that the vicious bird should be extremely fast. Facing such a fast vicious bird, Daoist Jiuji found it quite troublesome. Even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to deal with the bird. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with panic as they were at a loss for what to do. After all, this terrifying vicious bird was no ordinary creature. Its strength was even above that terrifying Emperor. At the thought of this, everyone was at a loss. They had already fallen into a passive position. Daoist Jiuji released his illusion. The terrifying illusion turned into a terrifying phoenix with divine light flowing around its body! It looked like the spitting image of a real phoenix! The phoenix descendant seemed to have sensed the aura of its ancestor and it trembled slightly! This was an instinctive reaction. If the phoenix descendant, whose body was burning with ghostly flames, was still alive and had consciousness, it would definitely have been able to recognize that this was just an illusion. But now, it was like the other terrifying existences in Death Underworld Mountain. It had already died and lost consciousness, becoming a walking corpse. ¡°Screech!¡± The phoenix descendant let out a screech as if it was about to lose control of itself. God knows what was going on. Then, Daoist Jiuji controlled the terrifying phoenix illusion and attacked the vicious bird that was burning with ghostly flames. The vicious bird did not seem to have expected its ancestor to suddenly appear as it was simply unbelievable. After that, Qin Chen smiled because the terrifying vicious bird was also attacking the phoenix illusion as if a real phoenix had descended. The illusion was extremely realistic, so much so that everyone thought that the terrifying phoenix was indeed real. If Daoist Jiuji¡¯s Extreme Yin Illusionary Holy Technique was cultivated to the peak, would it be able to affect reality? How was this possible? Everyone looked at him in disbelief. They did not know what was going on. They each had their thoughts as they watched on. At this moment, Daoist Jiuji had recovered a part of his original strength. Although he was not in his peak state, he probed the terrifying phoenix descendant and learned about its background There was a huge problem and that was that he did not know if he could destroy the vicious bird that was a descendant of the phoenix. After all, the other party was high up in the sky. It was already not easy for his illusion to be maintained until now. Then, everyone saw that the terrifying phoenix descendant was actually injured. The wings on its body were about to be torn into two halves, which was quite a despairing sight. Qin Chen smiled as he saw the phoenix illusion charge straight over. The injured appearance of the vicious bird made them extremely excited. Daoist Jiuji did not dare to be careless. If the phoenix descendant found a flaw, it would very likely cause great pressure on him. ¡°This phoenix descendant bird shouldn¡¯t be a match for Daoist Jiuji.¡± The big scorpion couldn¡¯t hide his excitement. It seemed that this terrifying vicious bird was no ordinary existence. It was a pity that it was dead and not alive. If it was alive, Daoist Jiuji wouldn¡¯t dare to say that he would have gained the upper hand so easily. After a few probing attempts, the terrifying phoenix descendant was indeed not without flaws. Now, Daoist Jiuji had found its weakness. The terrifying flames on the other party¡¯s body should not be as terrifying as when it had been alive. If Daoist Jiuji could extinguish the flames, the bird would definitely lose its current ferocity. At that time, Daoist Jiuji would have the final say if he wanted to beat or kill the bird. With that, Daoist Jiuji unleashed all his power, and even the phoenix descendant burning with ghostly flames might not be a match for him. Still, he had never thought that this ferocious bird, the descendant of a phoenix, would be so terrifying. It broke a part of Daoist Jiuji¡¯s phoenix illusion, making it difficult for him to maintain the phoenix¡¯s original form. However, Daoist Jiuji simply laughed. He used all his strength to split the phoenix illusion into more than ten. For a moment, the ferocious phoenix descendant felt fatal danger although its eyes had already lost their light. ¡°Destroy!¡± Daoist Jiuji said lightly. With that, the dozen phoenix illusions crashed into the terrifying ferocious bird that was burning with ghostly flames, bringing it to the ground, and causing it to feel despair. Then, the ghostly flames on the body of the terrifying phoenix descendant were extinguished. It could only struggle on the ground and as it was suppressed by Daoist Jiuji, unable to move. Now, the defeat of this phoenix descendant was set in stone! There was no chance of a comeback. Then, the flame-wing beast attacked, tearing the body of the phoenix descendant into pieces and ultimately destroying this terrifying existence. If it was before, they probably wouldn¡¯t have been a match for this terrifying bird. Fortunately, the other party had already been killed. No one had expected that Daoist Jiuji could keep suppressing the terrifying phoenix descendant, killing it before it could even display its strength.. Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: Heavily Armored Expert Chapter 689: Heavily Armored Expert Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio This battle had consumed quite a bit of Daoist Jiuji¡¯s energy. After recovering a portion of his strength, Daoist Jiuji¡¯s combat strength was terrifying. Not only had he recovered a portion of his strength, but the internal injuries that he had suffered in his early years were also healed. At this point, ordinary people in the same realm were really not a match for him. Everyone was quite shocked. To think a level 9 God Venerable realm phoenix descendant was destroyed just like that, which was really shocking for them. Daoist Jiuji¡¯s Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique indeed had a great origin. Qin Chen even suspected that this technique might have been created by an expert on the ancient great emperor level. Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t possibly have such power, so much so that it was terrifying. If it was a terrifying technique created by an ancient great emperor-level expert, it would most likely be even more powerful, just like Qin Chen¡¯s Chaotic Imperial Sutra. The Chaotic Imperial Sutra was a cultivation technique created by the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor. It was extremely powerful, allowing Qin Chen to suppress experts who were two to three minor realms stronger than him. In the same realm, unless the other party had special encounters just like Qin Chen did, it was impossible for them to be his opponent. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. The more powerful Daoist Jiuji was, the more he felt at ease. After all, even if Daoist Jiuji betrayed them, he had the strength to restrain the other party. Therefore, the stronger Daoist Jiuji was, the better it would be for Qin Chen. With this, even if they encountered an even more powerful existence, there would be Daoist Jiuji who could fight against the other party. This time, it was also Daoist Jiuji who had contributed the most in the fight against the level 9 God Venerable-realm vicious bird of phoenix descent who was burning with ghostly flames, which ultimately allowed the flame-wing beast to kill the bird. That was why Qin Chen was so relieved. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There should be even more terrifying existences ahead. We can¡¯t let our guard down.¡± As Qin Chen spoke, everyone followed him forward. Daoist Jiuji was even more excited. After all, he had found the forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. As long as he could obtain great fortune, he would naturally become stronger. At that time, he would be able to take revenge. The reason why he had stayed in Death Underworld Mountain was that this place might be the forbidden ground of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Now that he knew that it was indeed the forbidden ground, he was even more excited about the possibility of stepping into the quasi-emperor realm. Now that they had dealt with the terrifying phoenix descendant, they could naturally continue moving forward. After some time, Qin Chen and the others stepped into another area. There seemed to be something else in this place. It was just that they did not know what realm the other party might be in. There hadnt been much difference between Daoist Jiuji and the ferocious bird of the phoenix descent, mainly because of the former¡¯s terrifying illusion. By relying on the Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique, Daoist Jiuji could now challenge terrifying existences at the peak of the God Venerable realm. They didn¡¯t know how far away they had traveled into Death Underworld Mountain. However, according to Qin Chen¡¯s calculations, it was very likely that there were 3,000 terrifying existences in Death Underworld Mountain. At this point, they could only be considered to have just stepped into Death Underworld Mountain. However, there was definitely a chance that they would find another way to pass through Death Underworld Mountain. Therefore, Qin Chen was constantly looking for a way to do so. There must be some probability of finding an escape route in Death Underworld Mountain. As Qin Chen and the others continued to move forward, they arrived at another place. It looked like it that had been destroyed. There, an expert appeared. It was a level 9 God Venerable realm expert. However, the aura on his body was unstable. It was between level 9 and the peak of the God Venerable realm. The other party¡¯s realm may be unstable, but it was very likely that his attack would be extremely terrifying. At this moment, that terrifying expert was charging toward Qin Chen and the others. They could barely react. No one had expected the expert to be so terrifying and launch a punch at them straight away. If they did not react in time, they might be caught off guard. Now, the terrifying expert had arrived before Qn Chen and the others. He was wearing heavy armor as he punched out directly. Even Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t react in time before the other party was already in proximity. As the terrifying heavy-armored expert punched out, a divine light shot out from the eyes of Daoist Jiuji. He could feel that this expert in heavy armor was definitely more terrifying than the vicious bird of phoenix descent. At this point, he had nothing to hesitate about other than to attack frankly and kill the other party. With that, a terrifying illusion descended. Unexpectedly, the terrifying expert flew straight over. As soon as Daoist Jiuji came to his senses, he condensed one terrifying expert illusion after another. Among these illusions, there was no lack of terrifying experts from myths. Although Daoist Jiuji had never seen these terrifying existences, he had seen their image stones. Therefore, he could quickly condense these terrifying existences. They charged straight toward the terrifying heavy-armored expert. The heavily-armored expert did not expect so many experts to appear. Then, he bombarded the terrifying illusions. Qin Chen could sense that Daoist Jiuji¡¯s Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique had become more powerful, and so had his illusions. Could it be that Death Underworld Mountain was of great help to the illusion that he cultivated? Daoist Jiuji felt it even more clearly. Following that, terrifying illusions condensed around the terrifying heavy-armored man, wanting to deal with this terrifying existence. Before Qin Chen and the others could come to their senses, they saw that the terrifying heavily armored man was actually no match for the illusions, but still not forced back at all. When everyone saw this, they immediately distanced themselves from this terrifying heavily armored man. After all, even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for the other party. They could only wait and see if Daoist Jiuji could deal with the other party. A terrifying aura erupted and everyone was almost sent flying by it. Faced with such a terrifying attack at such a close distance, no matter how powerful they were, they were not able to withstand it.. Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: Flaw Chapter 690: Flaw Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio The terrifying aftershock spread. Qin Chen and the others immediately used all of their strength to resist, finally blocking the terrifying attack. No one had expected the terrifying attack to be so powerful. The level 8 God Venerable realm half-headed expert they had killed previously would probably have been blown up by this heavy-armor expert. This was the strength of the heavy-armor expert. Fortunately, Daoist Jiuji was still able to resist. The terrifying illusion he released could still fight the other party for the time being. However, if they wanted to deal with this terrifying existence, they could only use other methods. Otherwise, they might be defeated by this terrifying existence. After all, this heavy-armor expert was really too strong. He was the strongest expert Qin Chen and the others had encountered in so long. ¡°Be careful!¡± A shockwave blasted towards the big scorpion and he had no time to dodge. Fortunately, Qin Chen was not far away from him. Rather, he could be considered the person closest to the big scorpion. He immediately revived the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor and blocked the terrifying attack for the big scorpion with his body. Daoist Jiuji didn¡¯t do it on purpose though. He had already used all his strength but he was still not a match for this terrifying expert. It was even more impossible to control the aftershock of the battle. Then, various mysterious rules appeared on the heavy-armor expert, seemingly resonating with the entire world. One could imagine that if the other party was still alive, he would definitely be at a terrifying level. He should at least be an expert who was one step away from the quasi-emperor realm. Qin Chen and the others were incredulous. If they defeated this terrifying heavy-armor expert, what would happen next? Would the next terrifying existence they encounter be a quasi-emperor? Thinking of this, Qin Chen was apprehensive, but he could only take one step at a time. Since they were already here, there was naturally no turning back. If they turned back, they would die in the hands of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. Even if they fought their way back now, they might not be able to break out of the encirclement. Rather than doing that, why not try and see if they could pass through Death Underworld Mountain? Only in this way could they survive and even possibly become stronger. After all, although there were many terrifying existences in I)eath Underworld Mountain, there were also great fortunes and opportunities that could make them stronger. When Qin Chen saw how powerful Daoist Jiuji had become, and how the latter had even recovered a portion of his strength, his intuition told him that there was definitely a huge secret in Death Underworld Mountain. He was even suspicious that Death Underworld Mountain was related to an ancient great emperor. After all, if there wasn¡¯t some big secret, Qin Chen found it unbelievable that so many peerless experts, including quasi-emperor-realm experts, would die here. At this moment, Daoist Jiuji and the terrifying heavy-armor expert had already fought for thousands of rounds. Even if Daoist Jiuji could find an opportunity to attack the terrifying heavy-armor expert, a portion of his power was blocked by the terrifying heavy armor made of unknown materials on the other party¡¯s body. Seeing this, Qn Chen and the others immediately erupted with terrifying auras. No matter what, they had to help him. They couldn¡¯t let him fight alone. With that, they made their moves, aiming at the heavy-armor expert. Their attacks were not as powerful as Daoist Jiuji¡¯s illusion. Most of their attacks were offset by the heavy armor. ¡°D*mn it! If we can bypass that heavy armor, we should be able to easily finish him off!¡¯ It was just that Qin Chen currently had no idea how they could deal with this terrifying expert. It was almost impossible for them to bypass the heavy armor and hit the man. Daoist Jiuji let out a furious roar and immediately unleashed an even more terrifying illusion. Even if he had to use all his strength, he vowed to take care of this heavy-armor expert. Only by killing him would they be able to catch their breath. After all, he couldn¡¯t possibly maintain his current state forever. Even the slightest flaw in a fight between experts would possibly determine life and death. Therefore, Daoist Jiuji didn¡¯t even dare to breathe relaxedly or have any other thoughts. He only used his full strength to deal with the other party. The current battle had already fallen into a stalemate. Qin Chen was constantly looking for the weakness of this terrifying expert. The other party was, after all, dead. There should be some other way to deal with him. Thinking of this, Qin Chen stared at the terrifying expert. Soon after, a third eye grew out of Qin Chen¡¯s forehead. It was like an illusory vertical eye, shocking Daoist Jiuji. There were really too many things about this God Emperor-realm cultivator that shocked him. As Qin Chen¡¯s Netherworld Eye stared at the heavy-armor expert, he finally discovered a weakness. ¡°Hit his back. There seems to be a weak spot on his back!¡± Qin Chen roared. Immediately after, Daoist Jiuji turned his gaze to the back of this terrifying expert. There was a terrifying sword mark on the back of this heavy-armor expert. It almost slashed through the entire heavy armor. Could this be the cause of the other party¡¯s death? Had this terrifying heavy-armor expert died because of this terrifying sword wound? At the thought of this, Daoist Jiuji took a deep breath. Then, many illusions were condensed and surrounded the heavy-armor expert. The illusions were torn apart by the heavy-armor expert and bombarded into nothingness. However, the real killing intent came from behind him! At some point, only Daoist Jiuji¡¯s afterimage was left on the spot. He unknowingly appeared behind the terrifying heavy-armor expert. Boom! A wooden spear condensed in the hands of Daoist Jiuji. Now that he had recovered a lot of his strength, this spear was extremely terrifying. It seemed to be able to pierce through the void as it passed through countless illusions and arrived behind the heavy-armor expert. With a loud bang, the terrifying heavy -armor expert let out a roar and was seriously injured! He knelt as blood flowed from his mouth. The spear seemed to have locked onto the old wound on the back of the heavy-armor expert, making him go crazy. In the end, he lowered his head weakly.. Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: Quasi-emperor-realm Old Turtle Chapter 691: Quasi-emperor-realm Old Turtle Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio Looking at the terrifying heavy-armor expert who was about to die, everyone had mixed feelings. They could feel a sense of unwillingness. This heavy-armor expert should have felt this emotion before he died. And now, he was finally truly dead. The eruption of obsession shook everyone¡¯s hearts. What happened to those experts? Why did they die here? It was hard to imagine what kind of battle had caused so many experts to die here. After their deaths, they became walking corpses that were neither human nor ghosts. It was a pity that Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know the truth of this history, but this only strengthened their determination to go deeper into the mountain. They wanted to find great fortune and opportunity in Death Underworld Mountain. At that time, they would be able to cross the mountain and survive. Otherwise, they would all die. After all, Death Underworld Mountain was extremely terrifying. Even if Qin Chen and the others cooperated and made their moves, they might not be a match for those existences. After they had defeated a peak God Venerable, quasi-emperors were waiting. That being said, they could not turn back The Thousand Yin Holy Sect had many quasi-emperor-realm experts. On the surface, there were already three of them, so what about those in the dark? One could imagine how terrifying the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was. Even in the cosmic, as well as the nine Heavens and ten lands, there weren¡¯t so many quasi-emperor-realm experts. The old undying monsters all belonged to the orthodoxies. No wonder the Thousand Yin Holy Sect could become the supreme orthodoxy of the Sky-east Star Field. There were probably not many other orthodoxies that could compare to it. Qin Chen and the others wanted revenge. However, Du Qing alone was not someone they could defeat. Currently, Qin Chen only had the Ancient Sky-lifting Array that was refined from the flesh and blood of an ancient dragon which would allow him to kill the other party. However, this array could only be used three times. After the third time, Qin Chen and the others would be no match for even experts at Daoist Jiuji¡¯s level. Yet, there were many cultivators like the Daoist Jiuji in the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. They were at a loss. Then, they glanced at the heavy-armor expert before leaving. There were definitely many dangers ahead. Unfortunately, Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t stop. After some time, when everyone had recovered from their exhaustion, in Chen decided to continue moving forward. Could they really pass through this terrifying Death Underworld Mountain? Qin Chen didn¡¯t know, but they could only continue moving forward. Otherwise, they might as well have died in the hands of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. After some time, they finally arrived at another place. There seemed to be some other experts here. These experts were also very powerful. Their combat strength was extraordinary. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Daoist Jiuji had recovered a portion of his strength, they might be a match for the enemy. Daoist Jiuji was now feeling immense pressure. After all, the terrifying existences were getting increasingly stronger. God knows how many more terrifying existences were ahead At this point, they didn¡¯t know where they were in Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen continued to advance. Everyone followed him, maintaining a very slow pace so that they would not be caught off guard when they suddenly encountered a terrifying existence. They were very cautious now. Qin Chen suddenly slowed down. Everyone immediately became vigilant, wondering if he had discovered something. Daoist Jiuji said, ¡°There¡¯s a problem ahead¡± Still, Qin Chen continued forward. He also sensed some kind of fluctuation. The Netherworld Eye on his forehead was emitting light. They did not know what terrifying existence was ahead but they had no choice now. As Qin Chen and the others advanced step by step, they saw a huge figure slowly crawling over. ¡°What is this?¡± The true dragon could vaguely sense that the other party¡¯s bloodline was extraordinary. Then, they saw the figure¡¯s full appearance. It was a jade-red old turtle. The old turtle also had a fatal wound on its body. More than half of its shell had been shattered. The wound looked extremely vicious. Immediately, everyone became vigilant because the old turtle was actually in the quasi-emperor realm. How terrifying! To think they had encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor. Although the old turtle was very slow, they knew that it was definitely no ordinary existence. If they were to fight, it was very likely that something very bad would happen. Qin Chen and the others adjusted their states to the peak as they watched the old turtle come over. Everyone was ready to make their move. All of a sudden, the old turtle made a move. It swung its tail, and its huge tail smashed toward everyone with terrifying power. Before Qin Chen and the others could react, the tail had already reached the void and torn it apart! This attack that only relied on its physical body had such terrifying power! One could imagine how terrifying this old turtle would have been if it had been at its peak. All kinds of terrifying thoughts appeared in everyone¡¯s minds. No one dared to take such a terrifying attack head-on. Then, Daoist Jiuji cast the Extreme Yin Illusion Holy Technique, condensing countless terrifying illusions and attacking the old turtle. The eyes of the old turtle were empty, seemingly having been dead for quite some time. It was only left with its instincts now, which were telling it to destroy Qin Chen and the others. The terrifying old turtle wanted to kill Qin Chen and the others. Countless illusions attacked the terrifying old turtle. God knows what each of them was thinking, but there was nothing else they could do now. The terrifying old turtle attacked because it didn¡¯t want Qin Chen and the others to survive. With that, the illusions created by countless Daoist Jiuji were destroyed by the old turtle¡¯s tail attack. This scene almost drove them crazy. Daoist Jiuji was at level 9 of the God Venerable realm. Yet, even he did not have the strength to face this terrifying old turtle. Thinking of this, Qin Chen started to fight. Then, the terrifying old turtle opened its huge mouth and let out a low roar. It sounded like an ancient fierce beast from the primordial era or even earlier. ¡°Run!¡± Qin Chen¡¯s scalp went numb.. Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: Old Turtle, Die! Chapter 692: Old Turtle, Die! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The quasi-emperor old turtle was too terrifying. Right now, everyone didn¡¯t hold back in retreating and avoiding the attack range of the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm turtle. Everyone was flustered. If they were hit by the other party¡¯s attacks, they would definitely die. Even Daoist Jiuji did not dare to take such a terrifying attack head-on. Even if they joined forces, it was impossible for them to resist the other party. ¡°Roar!¡¯ Daoist Jiuji spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though the old turtle was dead, it had been a quasi-emperor-realm Demonic Sage. They were currently not a match for the other party at all. As such, they wanted to leave. After all, if anything unfortunate happened, they would definitely have to pay a high price. Daoist Jiuji released his power to stall the terrifying old turtle and protect everyone. Countless terrifying illusions condensed and were shattered by the old turtle. Only in this way could he buy time for everyone. Now, they were only left with the choice to escape. If they wanted to fight head-on, there would only be death. Qin Chen then took out the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array from his storage ring. Now that they had encountered such a powerful old turtle, they could only do everything they could. Even if Daoist Jiuji died in front of the old turtle, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to cause any harm to it. This was the terrifying aspect of the quasi-emperor realm old turtle. Each had their thoughts and at this moment, everyone was ready to move out, but Qin Chen stood forward instead. ¡°Hurry up and leave! I can¡¯t hold on for long! If you don¡¯t leave now, it will be too late!¡± Daoist Jiuji roared anxiously. He didn¡¯t know why Qin Chen still wanted to come forward. Qin Chen only raised the array disc with dragon patterns in his hand. Everyone finally realized what was going on. The terrifying array disc in the Elder King¡¯s hand contained an incomparably powerful danger. The true dragon trembled. It sensed a familiar fluctuation that seemed to be carved into its bloodline. ¡°This is¡­The strongest expert of my race!¡¯ The array was indeed related to the true dragon race. After all, the material of the array was the ancient dragon of the true dragon race! Upon seeing this, Daoist Jiuji realized that Qin Chen was most likely planning to use the array in his hand to destroy this jade-red turtle. However, this red turtle was in the quasi-emperor realm. If they were to fight, it was very likely that they would not be able to hurt him. Qin Chen poured the divine power in his body into the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. Then, it was as if a huge ancient dragon had truly descended, and there was endless pressure in the void! The true dragon was incomparably excited. This was the Supreme expert of their race! The other party was definitely a genuine quasi-emperor-realm expert. He might even be the strongest among all quasi-emperors! It was just a pity such a powerful ancient dragon had died its flesh and blood had turned into materials for this array. That being said, without the flesh and blood of the ancient dragon, it was absolutely impossible to refine such a terrifying array. At this moment, Qin Chen had already activated the array. An incomparably terrifying pressure descended. Everyone was in disbelief. To think there was actually such terrifying pressure! The pressure enveloped the terrifying ancient dragon. The ancient dragon was extremely terrifying. Even after its death, the phantom it condensed was as if its true body had descended! The terrifying quasi-emperor old turtle sensed the danger. The soaring ancient dragon immediately charged toward the terrifying old turtle. The two of them both unleashed terrifying auras and the void was shattered. One had to know that this was equivalent to two quasi-emperor-realm experts fighting each other. At this moment, the terrifying fluctuations had already made Qin Chen and the others feel as if they were about to be torn apart. Fortunately, they could still withstand the pressure as long as they defended with all their might. Everyone was extremely excited. It was hard to imagine who would emerge victorious when these two terrifying quasi-emperors fought. Right now, Qin Chen was about to go into a frenzy. He did not expect that the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was so terrifying! Daoist Jiuji¡¯s aura abruptly soared. He also used his illusions to kill the terrifying old turtle. Qin Chen had truly brought him too great of a surprise. Naturally, he wanted to add fuel to the fire and try to destroy this terrifying old turtle. After all, they could only continue moving forward after dealing with this terrifying old turtle. And now, with the help of Qin Chen¡¯s Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array, it was the best time to kill the other party! When Qin Chen and the others saw this, they couldn¡¯t help but feel invigorated. This was because the old turtle was soon at a disadvantage when faced with the terrifying ancient dragon. As expected of an array that could kill quasi-emperors. Even if this old turtle was alive, it might not be able to resist. The old turtle was too powerful. Even if all of them attacked together, they might not be his match. However, after Qin Chen activated the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array, a terrifying aura rushed toward the old turtle, and with that, its strength had been greatly reduced. After all, it had already lost consciousness. What was left behind was only a walking corpse. It could not resist for too long and would probably die immediately. Thinking of this, everyone was excited. Qin Chen knew that this terrifying old turtle wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long before it was defeated. Then, the big scorpion cheered because the terrifying old turtle had been beaten to the ground and never got up again. It looked like it was about to die. In the end, the terrifying ancient dragon turned into a terrifying divine light and shattered the quasi-emperor-realm old turtle¡¯s body! With that, it turned into a blood mist and died! Qin Chen was incomparably spirited. He had never thought that the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array would be so powerful that it could take care of the terrifying old turtle. After all, even if all of them were to join forces, they wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand a single strike from the old turtle. Qin Chen had only activated the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array to kill the turtle because they were left with no other choice. After that, the ancient dragon¡¯s projection dissipated as well, turning into light and gradually returning to the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. Before Daoist Jiuji had yet to react, the terrifying quasi-emperor realm turtle was already dead. When the quasi-emperor turtle died, it didn¡¯t even have time to scream. ¡°This is too terrifying.¡± The array in Qin Chen¡¯s hands shocked everyone.. Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: Elder King, Run! Chapter 693: Elder King, Run! Translator: Nyoi-Ba Studio Editor: Nyai-Bo Studio Since even a quasi-emperor had been killed so quickly, the terrifying Daoist Jiuji would naturally be no match for this array. Then, everyone laughed. The Elder King did not disappoint them. Such a terrifying array was simply beyond their imagination. No one knew what to think. The danger they were facing now was getting increasingly terrifying. Huge pressure weighed on their hearts and not everyone had the mentality to deal with it. After all, this was a matter of life and death. The immense pressure made them feel apprehensive and at a loss for what to do. At this moment, Qin Chen smiled, ¡°We should be reaching the middle of Death Underworld Mountain soon.¡± The reason why he said this was because everyone had almost lost the motivation to move forward Even though they knew there were terrifying beings in front and that it was incomparably dangerous, they could only grit their teeth and fight. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone forward. ¡°Trust me.¡± No matter what, he vowed to bring everyone out of this place and pass through Death Underworld Mountain. They could only survive if they did so. ¡°What did you say?¡¯ The red-clothed woman suppressed the rage in her heart. The man who saved her had been forced into a dead end by the Thousand Yin Holy Sect and entered Death Underworld Mountain. What kind of place was Death Underworld Mountain? Almost no one who entered there came out alive! Even Quasi-emperor experts never returned. No one had ever survived! When she heard that Odn Chen and the others had been forced into Death Underworld Mountain, she almost couldn¡¯t hold her anger back anymore. After all, she still owed Qin Chen a favor. How could the Thousand Yin Holy Sect settle scores with the red-clothed woman? She had the Ji family backing her. ¡°Which is why they could only vent their anger on them. If I didn¡¯t ask you, you would have kept it a secret forever.¡± The people from the Ji family had been infiltrating other factions under various identities. The Ji family was spread throughout the entire Heavenly East Starfield. And now, she was told that Qin Chen and the others had been forced into Death Underworld Mountain. How could she accept this? The maid in front of the red-clothed woman clenched her jaw and endured her master¡¯s anger. She didn¡¯t know why her master was so furious. The maid had only dared to tell the red-clothed woman the truth because Qin Chen and the others had been forced into Death Underworld Mountain. After all, as long as one entered Death Underworld Mountain, it was almost impossible to survive. The red-clothed woman was so angry that she laughed. ¡°Thousand Yin Holy Sect, I¡¯ll remember you for this!¡¯ One had to know that the Thousand Yin Holy Sect would be under immense pressure if they provoked the Ji family¡¯s anger. The Ji family was a colossus that surpassed the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. If the Thousand Yin Holy Sect was the supreme orthodoxy of the Heavenly East Starfield akin to a small landlord in the countryside, then the Ji family was the uncrowned royal family in the capital! This was the difference between the two. Thinking of this, the red-clothed woman turned her head. Since Qin Chen and the others had already been forced into Death Underworld Mountain, she could only find an opportunity to get back at the Thousand Yin Holy Sect. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know that the red-clothed woman in the outside world, including the other members of the Thousand Yin Holy Sect, thought that they were already dead. After all, entering Death Underworld Mountain was akin to a death declaration. It was almost impossible for them to survive. On the other side, Qin Chen and the others did not know where they were, but they were now looking at a place littered with countless corpses. On these corpses were countless weapons and magic items. One could imagine the sheer number of those magic items. To think so many experts had died here. The corpses seemed to be fixed to the ground, making people feel quite apprehensive, wondering what was going on. The big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but gulp. He could feel that the aura of these experts was extremely dense. One could imagine how powerful they had been. They were probably at the peak of the God Venerable realm back when they were alive, just a step away from breaking through to the great perfection stage. At that time, they would¡¯ve been only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm. Qin Chen was lost in thought. It was simply unimaginable for so many experts to have died here. It was hard to imagine how terrifying they were if their combat strength was added together. Qin Chen smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t they become those walking corpses?¡± Qin Chen was quite surprised. Logically speaking, these experts should have died and become terrifying existences. Yet, there were no changes here. Everyone was puzzled. They had no idea what was going on. Qin Chen signaled for everyone to stop, and he continued forward alone. He walked for an unknown time before stopping and looking at the terrifying corpses of the experts. Remnants of powerful divine power were left on the experts, and God knows why. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief as they noticed the unknown amount of powers of rules left on the corpses, as well as the faintly discernible powers of order. The terrifying power of order made them feel fear as they were puzzled. Qin Chen continued to advance. After walking for a long time, he finally stopped. Not far from the corpses of these experts, there was a Holy Monk who looked withered. He was just like an ordinary person. It made others increasingly puzzled. Qin Chen looked at the Holy Monk and felt a special aura that seemed to calm his mind. He smiled. Then, he wanted to go forward and see how the Holy Monk died. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. The Holy Monk had countless remnants of the Great Path aura on his body. Could it be that he died from an injury of the Great Path? Qin Chen had no words to describe what was going on. At this point, everyone felt a terrifying aura spreading out and they did not know why. ¡°Elder King, run!¡¯ Unfortunately, Qin Chen currently did not have the strength to run at all because he was already frozen in place. What was happening? Qin Chen looked at the haggard Holy Monk and finally understood. The other party should not be completely dead. Then why did he look like this? At this moment, holy Buddhist light emerged from the Holy Monk¡¯s body, causing Qin Chen to lose the ability to move.. Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: Old Monk Xuan Ji Chapter 694: Old Monk Xuan Ji Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen had never thought that this terrifying Holy Monk would be so terrifying, which shocked him. Then, he saw the Holy Monk finally move. The other party¡¯s body emitted a terrifying Buddhist light as he stood up shakily, seemingly on the verge of collapsing. Qin Chen was shocked. At this moment, he was unable to activate the Ancient Sky-splitting Dragon Array, which meant that he had fallen into the hands of this Holy Monk. However, the Holy Monk didn¡¯t seem to be affected either. What was going on? Qin Chen was flabbergasted. If this Holy Monk hadn¡¯t turned into a walking corpse, could it be that he wasn¡¯t dead? How was this possible? What a joke. Countless years had passed. Even old undying monsters could not live for so long. Then, the Holy Monk said, ¡°I am Xuan Ji.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s heart was shaken. This old monk was quite awesome. To think he didn¡¯t die! Everyone¡¯s eyes revealed a deep fear. One had to know that this terrifying Buddhist expert definitely did not come to the depths of Death Underworld Mountain recently. It was very likely that he had survived the great war back then. How was this possible? Everyone was incredulous, but now, they had no choice but to believe it. After all, this terrifying Buddhist expert was ridiculously strong. Such a powerful existence was not someone they could challenge at all. ¡°Benefactor, you are fated with me and Buddha. I won¡¯t hurt you. On the contrary. it would be a great fortune for me to help vou.¡± Qin Chen watched as the old monk walked to his side and slapped him on the head. Qin Chen was extremely agitated, not knowing what was going on. He had been inexplicably taken down by the old monk. The old monk laughed, ¡°Benefactor, I am but a wisp of my spiritual will from back then. I won¡¯t harm you. Don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Looking at the Holy Monk¡¯s smile, Qin Chen could no longer feel his holiness. Then, he saw the old monk¡¯s palm emitting an extremely brilliant golden light, and at that moment, Qin Chen felt as if his brain was about to explode. If this continued, he would have almost no chance of survival. Qin Chen immediately used his physical body to unleash his strength and resist. Only in this way could he ensure a sense of security. He saw a smile on the Holy Monk¡¯s face. ¡°As expected, you are the person I am looking for. On the path of cultivation of the Great Path, every move is free. If I purify you, I can be considered to have saved the lives of the world.¡± Qin Chen was extremely dumbfounded. Why was he being labeled as someone who could destroy the world? He was quite puzzled. In the end, Qin Chen saw something in his mind. It was a flower. However, the flower was very small, as if it did not have enough nutrients to grow. The Holy Monk finally stopped. He put his palms together and lowered his head. The holy aura on his body disappeared. Then, the corner of his clothes slowly turned into ashes, and his entire body slowly turned into ashes as well. Seeing this, Qin Chen and the others were lost in their thoughts. Qin Chen didn¡¯t think that this old monk was deliberately mystifying things. Since the old monk had used the last of his strength to purify him, Qin Chen seemed to realize something. Could it be that he would be related to all living beings of the world in the future? Even so, he didn¡¯t think too much of it. After all, Qin Chen could feel that the flower in his mind didn¡¯t seem to be dangerous. Finally, the big scorpion could not help but laugh. ¡°Elder King, the killing intent on your body is too strong that it scared that old monk back to life.¡± After all, Qin Chen¡¯s hands had been stained with an unknown amount of blood at this point. This was enough to prove that he was not a kind person. When it was time to make a move, he would do so. Only in this way could he ensure his survival. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. Could it be that the killing intent on his body was really too strong? This was the first time Daoist Jiuji had seen such a scene. They had originally thought that Qin Chen was in extreme danger. To think the old monk had no intention of attacking him at all. The other party was a powerful existence, after all. If he were to make a move, coupled with the fact that Qin Chen couldn¡¯t activate the Ancient Sky-splitting Dragon Array, he might really fail miserably and die in the hands of the old monk. Thinking of this, Qin Chen shook his head. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. Now, he had already seen through everything. Nothing could move him. As long as that old monk didn¡¯t attack him, everything was fine. After that, Qin Chen led the others and left. After all, there was no point for them to stay here anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± There should be no danger in this area other than that old monk. Unfortunately, he was already dead. Qin Chen didn¡¯t think that he needed to be purified. The legendary Buddhist experts who saved people would wipe away a portion of the latter¡¯s emotions. With this, it would be as if the target had changed into another person. This was the Buddhist sect¡¯s method of purifying people. Fortunately, Qin Chen didn¡¯t suffer such treatment. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know why he had been purified by the Holy Monk. He could tell that the terrifying Holy Monk was definitely the one who had killed the countless experts on the ground. Only he had such strength. Qin Chen once again looked at the flower in his mind. He wondered what use this flower would have. Currently, he had no idea at all. Then, he led everyone and prepared to leave. Just as they were about to leave, the big scorpion walked to the side of one of the peerless experts¡¯ corpses and wanted to take away the weapon on his body. The minute the big scorpion grabbed the weapon, the corpse of the peerless expert moved. It was extremely shocking and unexpected. Would these corpses become soulless zombies after the weapons and magic items in their bodies were pulled out? Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt fear. He hurriedly berated the big scorpion, not allowing the latter to touch anything else. If the big scorpion lay his hands on things recklessly, it was very likely that an unknown mutation would occur. They couldn¡¯t take any such incidents anymore. The big scorpion quickly let go and stopped. ¡°What a pity. The weapons and magic items on these corpses are extremely precious. It¡¯s simply a waste to leave them here! What a waste!¡± The big scorpion felt extremely regretful.. Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: The True Body of a Terrifying Existence Chapter 695: The True Body of a Terrifying Existence Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen pulled the big scorpion over, not allowing the latter to do whatever he wanted. One could imagine the consequences if they acted rashly. Immediately after, Qin Chen became solemn as he led everyone away. They had no idea where they were now. Ever since he met the Holy Monk, Qin Chen had some kind of a feeling in his heart. However, he did not know how to describe it. Perhaps something would happen to him soon. The flower in his mind had finally condensed after exhausting all the strength of the terrifying Holy Monk. There was definitely a deeper meaning behind it. Qin Chen led everyone forward. He suddenly asked, ¡°What¡¯s here?¡± Not far away was a tall mountain. Death Underworld Mountain itself was already a mountain, so the mountain in front of Qin Chen and the others was a mountain in the middle of a mountain. Unfortunately, this mountain also had a terrifying aura that shocked everyone. ¡°There might be something terrifying ahead.¡± The big scorpion¡¯s heart trembled when he said this. He could feel that the aura might have reached the quasi-emperor realm! Who knew what kind of terrifying existence existed on that mountain? Everyone looked at Qin Chen. Only he could make the decision now. No matter what their decision was, Daoist Jiuji would follow. He was only at level 9 of the God Venerable realm, after all. Even at his peak, he was no match for a quasi-emperor. At this point, Qin Chen smiled. He wanted to move forward together with everyone. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Can we turn back? Since we can¡¯t, we will just kill his way over!¡± After saying that, Qin Chen led everyone and charged forward. God knows what kind of terrifying existence there would be. Qin Chen simply smiled. But now, the terrifying existence did not appear. They could only feel the presence of a quasi-emperor on the mountain. If they wanted to reach the other side, they could only cross the mountain. Everyone¡¯s hearts were palpitating. For some reason, Qin Chen stopped in his tracks. Even if he stopped, the terrifying aura continued. The others followed Qin Chen and stepped onto the mountain. They could not turn back anyway, so they could only keep moving forward. The terrifying aura was still spreading on the mountain. It seemed that the entire mountain was shrouded in a terrifying aura. That terrifying expert should also be on this mountain. Unfortunately, Qin Chen and the others were unable to find that terrifying existence despite their constant search. They did not know where that terrifying expert was. Qin Chen continued forward for some time. Finally, he stopped and looked ahead. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to have appeared. Everyone was extremely surprised. Why haven¡¯t they discovered the terrifying existence? Qin Chen awakened the Netherworld Eye, and an illusory vertical eye appeared between his brows. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched the surroundings, he couldn¡¯t find any terrifying experts. Why was this? The aura of that terrifying existence on this mountain had clearly been around all along. Yet, they couldn¡¯t find anything. Qin Chen looked ahead, but there was nothing there. Not everything could be found, but since the enemy did not appear, they would find the enemy instead. Only by doing so would they be able to feel at ease. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to advance. He wondered where the enemy would appear. ¡°Where exactly is he hiding?¡± ¡°Search! We must find him!¡± ¡°This is impossible. That terrifying existence must be hiding in the dark.¡± ¡°We must find him.¡± With that, everyone began to search even more carefully, wanting to find that terrifying existence. In the void, there was an inconspicuous fluctuation. If no one paid attention, they would definitely miss it. Unfortunately, in Chen finally found the flaw. He sent a voice transmission to everyone, then they joined forces and blasted the space where the terrifying existence was hiding. They wanted to find the terrifying existence. Boom! Almost instantly, the terrifying void trembled. Finally, they found the other party. The terrifying existence was incomparably huge. Just its hand that stretched out from the void was the size of a star. Then, the hand came down on Qin Chen and the others. Even if Qin Chen and the others had three heads and six arms, it was impossible for them to resist. Qin Chen roared and everyone attacked together, wanting to destroy that terrifying existence. However, even if the other party only extended one hand from the void, it was still in the quasi-emperor realm. The other party was simply not someone they could fight against at all. At this point, Qin Chen immediately activated the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array in his storage ring, striking it toward that terrifying existence This terrifying existence¡¯s hand was directly suppressed by the huge pressure. Immediately after, Qin Chen used the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array to strike at the hand. God knows how huge this terrifying existence¡¯s true body was that he actually needed to hide in the void. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. Fortunately, as Qin Chen¡¯s Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array started to circulate, an incomparably terrifying ancient dragon phantom appeared and attacked the palm of that terrifying existence. Before the terrifying existence could react, his arm was severed by the ancient dragon! Upon seeing this, Qin Chen and the others were extremely excited. Unfortunately, that terrifying existence was still in the void. Only one of his arms had been severed. Facing serious injuries, this terrifying existence could no longer hold himself With that, he charged out. From the void, a huge true body walked out. Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but gasp because the terrifying existence was about the same size as Daoist Jiuji¡¯s candle dragon illusion. What kind of race was this? Qin Chen had never heard of it. Even the strongest innate god fiends in the cosmic were not this terrifying. Immediately after, everyone hurriedly retreated. If they were to take the attack of that terrifying expert again, it was very likely that they would die. After the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was activated, it released an extremely terrifying power that suppressed the huge true body of the terrifying existence. The incomparably powerful ancient dragon phantom burned with terrifying extreme flames, wanting to burn the other party to death! For a moment, the incomparably shocking pressure shook even the void.. Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: Going Into a Frenzy Chapter 696: Going Into a Frenzy Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The true body of the terrifying existence was like an ancient God. Qin Chen could feel that his Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was about to reach its limit. Was the origin of this terrifying existence so great? Qin Chen instantly realized that this existence was very likely to have been one of the most powerful or closest to the strongest terrifying beings back then. This was the only explanation for why the other party could push the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array to its limits now. At this moment, the ancient dragon phantom seemed to be on the verge of burning, causing everyone to be greatly shocked. Some golden patterns seemed to interweave on the ancient dragon¡¯s phantom. The ancient dragon was already unleashing all the power it could with the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. If the ancient dragon¡¯s true body was still around, it would naturally be even stronger. Unfortunately, the current ancient dragon phantom was only about the same as the terrifying existence. No one knew who would win in the end. Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt some fear, at a loss for what to do next. After all, such a terrifying existence was not something that ordinary people could deal with. Qin Chen could only pray in his heart. If the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array could deal with this terrifying existence, it would naturally be very good. At this moment, Qin Chen smiled as he knew that the victor between the terrifying existence and the ancient dragon phantom could not be decided in a short time. After all, the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was not made of mud. Its power could not be underestimated. Qin Chen had faced the quasi-emperor-realm old turtle before, and he had used the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array to destroy it. Therefore, he decided to add another move that might be able to break the other party. The true body of the terrifying existence on this mountain was incomparably terrifying. Just a single punch was enough to tear the stars apart. Unfortunately, this was Death Underworld Mountain, which was emitting a deathly aura. God knows why but the space was extremely stable. Qin Chen roared and everyone continued to attack the true body of that terrifying existence. Perhaps their attacks were not even ticklish to that terrifying existence, but these meager moves were often the last straw. Hearing Qin Chen¡¯s words, everyone didn¡¯t dare to hold back. All of them used their trump cards. Countless terrifying attacks smashed toward the terrifying existence like meteors. Only in this way could they make the other party die. Qin Chen couldn¡¯t possibly deal with the terrifying existence by just relying on the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. He wielded the innate sword embryo and slashed out with his strongest sword technique! This sword that carried the extreme emperor might was majestic, like a sword immortal descending to the earth. The flame-wing beast and true dragon also spat out terrifying flames that burned the void. The most powerful of them all, Daoist Jiuji, conjured many phenomena to constantly distract the terrifying existence. The big scorpion and the others naturally didn¡¯t stand by idly either. They crazily unleashed their strength to the extreme and attacked that terrifying existence. As for the terrifying existence, in the face of the huge threat of the ancient dragon phantom, he still had the strength to resist the terrifying attacks. Although Qin Chen and the others had already launched their attacks, the other party easily blocked them. This made Qin Chen and the others feel a little discouraged. After all, this was their combined full-strength attack. If they did not have the Ancient Sky- lifting Dragon Array, they might have been instantly killed by this terrifying existence. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the ancient dragon¡¯s projection. At this moment, the ancient dragon¡¯s projection¡¯s strength was declining. After all, its strength was limited in the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. Therefore, if this stalemate continued, the ancient dragon would easily be dragged down. Qin Chen gritted his teeth and finally made his decision. It would be better to go crazy and gamble once. He would use up his last chance. With that, the power of the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array increased by quite a bit, and in an instant, it was working in overload. The second ancient dragon phantom appeared. Originally, one ancient dragon phantom was already enough to keep the terrifying existence busy. He did not expect a second one. In an instant, two ancient dragon phantoms appeared and suppressed this terrifying existence. And now, the dragon-patterned array disc in Qin Chen¡¯s hand had already cracked. This meant that after this, he would no longer be able to use the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. Then, the two ancient dragon phantoms roared. This was the last time they would appear in this world. The true dragon¡¯s face was actually a little wet. It could feel the desolation of the ancient dragon¡¯s phantoms. It was a pity that it could not help at all. With this, the terrifying existence was destined to be powerless. Under the attack of the two ancient dragon phantoms, he quickly fell into a disadvantage and was somewhat inferior. Many wounds appeared as well, and blood dripped from the terrifying existence¡¯s huge true body. The blood was extremely terrifying, burning through the ground, and leaving behind huge This was the physical strength of a quasi-emperor. Just the blood alone was not something Qin Chen and the others could withstand. If it landed on them, they would probably die immediately. Qin Chen smiled. Although his heart ached a little, it was fortunate that this terrifying existence now had little chance of surviving and turning the tables. That was because his chest had already been pierced through by one of the ancient dragon phantoms. The wound looked extremely terrifying. Qin Chen and the others simply couldn¡¯t inflict such a huge injury on such a terrifying existence. Then, under the encirclement of the two ancient dragon phantoms, the body of the quasi-emperor-realm terrifying existence was obliterated and turned into dust. It disappeared in the air of Death Underworld Mountain, leaving nothing behind. The terrifying aura on this mountain was no longer around. Now, there was nothing left. This also meant that Qin Chen and the others could catch their breath. Unfortunately, Qin Chen no longer had any trump cards in his hands. God knows if he could fight against the remaining terrifying existences that they might encounter. There would definitely be more terrifying existences ahead in Death Underworld Mountain. It was almost impossible for them to cross over. They might even die on the way. Perhaps the next time they stepped into the territory of other terrifying existences, they would be killed straight away. After all, these terrifying existences were not to be trifled with. They were not beings they could provoke at all. In Qin Chen¡¯s hand, the array disc of the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array was already covered with web-like cracks.. Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag Chapter 697: Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag This meant that it was impossible for Qin Chen to use the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array again. Now, there were only two choices in front of everyone: To advance or not advance. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know what to do. Everyone placed their lives in his hands but he no longer had the motivation to move forward. Could he really bring them away? In Death Underworld Mountain which was emitting an aura of death, a withering power was constantly invading their bodies. If this continued, their flesh and blood would lose their strength. In the end, they would become terrifying existences like the walking dead who had lost their souls. Thinking of this, Qin Chen sighed. ¡°Elder King.¡± Everyone knew Qin Chen was in a difficult position. Qin Chen smiled bitterly. The others understood that the Elder King might no longer have any trump cards in his hands. Without a trump card, the only outcome was death. The existences they were encountering were becoming increasingly stronger, even quasi-emperors. They were simply no match for them at all. They had no way to survive from the other party¡¯s hands. Now, they only had one choice. And that was to stop. However, the outcome of stopping was equivalent to waiting for death to descend. There was no chance of survival in Death Underworld Mountain. They didn¡¯t know how far they could go. With their current strength, the next time they encountered a terrifying existence, only death awaited them. Qin Chen looked at everyone and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do next. You can choose for yourselves.¡± Among the crowd, Daoist Jiuji was the craziest. Even if it was a bottomless abyss in front of him, he was willing to give it his all. After all, even if he could survive by staying here, what was the use? If he could not take revenge, his life would be meaningless. He wanted to return everything he had suffered to the current Thousand Yin Holy Sect¡¯s sect leader ten times over. If he only recovered a little power now, he would be nothing in front of the other party. Even the slightest move from the other party may put him at risk of dying. The big scorpion and the others seemed to be choking up, unable to say anything. However, when they finally learned the situation, they understood that they had no way out. They could only continue to move forward. Even if death awaited them, there was nothing they could do. ¡°Elder King, if we die, then so be it. I¡¯m not afraid of anything. I¡¯ll still be a proud man!¡± The big scorpion laughed heartily. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast nodded. Indeed, it was meaningless to stop now. Their only chance of survival was if they tried to cross Death Underworld Mountain. Immediately after, everyone spoke to Qin Chen. ¡°Elder King, let¡¯s go.¡± Hearing this, Qin Chen looked at everyone. His eyes were filled with determination. Even if it was death, what was there to be afraid of? At most, he would just have to start over. In this life, he had lived to the fullest. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen led everyone forward. They had already killed the terrifying existence on this mountain. At the same time, Qin Chen had lost his trump card. Following this, they reached the top of the mountain. There was actually a broken stone tablet there. It looked to be covered with dust. No one knew how many years had passed since the tablet had been erected. It was engraved with characters that could no longer be recognized. It was unknown what they had been about. Perhaps they would die here soon and be completely wiped out, but Qin Chen had nothing to fear. Since everyone had already given their lives to him, he would bring them on this gamble once more. To be honest, Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how big Death Underworld Mountain was. Where were they now? How much distance was left before they could cross Death Underworld Mountain? He didn¡¯t know any of this. However, the only way to survive was to keep moving forward. Following this, Qin Chen led everyone to the broken stone tablet. It seemed to be about to be completely destroyed. Qin Chen squatted in front of the broken stone tablet and gently swept the dust away with his hand. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding, dong!] [Weak divinity remnants have been found here. Would the host like to check in here?] [Note: You can check in here once!] The system¡¯s voice echoed in Qin Chen¡¯s mind. He had never thought that this broken stone tablet would have powerful divinity remnants. Didn¡¯t this mean that he could check in again? If he did so, he would be able to have something to fight against terrifying existences. Thinking of this, Qin Chen silently muttered in his heart, ¡°Check in!¡± [Ding, dong!] [Congratulations, host. You have checked in at the ancient stone tablet. You have received the reward, the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag!] [Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag: A one-time consumable. An array left behind by an ancient human Sage was refined into an array flag by later generations. When activated, the user needs to withstand the backlash from the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag that can trap and kill quasi-emperor-realm experts. It is extremely terrifying.] Hearing this, Qin Chen¡¯s heart trembled. He didn¡¯t expect to obtain a magic item that could fight against terrifying quasi-emperors. It should be known that this trump card was the only thing he could use to fight those terrifying existences now. Immediately after, Qin Chen kept the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag. However, the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag seemed to have some kind of flaw. in Chen would have to bear the consequences of the backlash while using the array. If there was a terrifying existence that could break the array, Qin Chen would then have to accept his fate and die. When he activated the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, he had already become one with it. However, this was still better than not having anything to resist their enemies at all. It was much better than fighting against a terrifying existence with his own strength. Everyone else could see that a palm-sized flag suddenly appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand, emitting a terrifying fluctuation. They were all extremely excited. The palm-sized flag in Qin Chen¡¯s hand might be of great use. It might even be able to stand against the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences. They did not know exactly how powerful the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was.. Chapter 698 - Chapter 698: Escape Chapter 698: Escape Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was a terrifying weapon that could trap and kill quasi-emperors. It had a mysterious and unfathomable power, and it was incomparably terrifying. At this point, everyone guessed that Qin Chen probably obtained a magic item similar to the Ancient Sky-lifting Dragon Array. They didn¡¯t know that the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was just something that gave Qin Chen a chance to fight for his life. They looked at Qin Chen, wondering what his choice now was. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with determination. Before he had any trump cards, he had already chosen to continue moving forward. Now that he had a new trump card, how could he stop? He would never choose to stop. Instead, he would choose to continue to advance because he could feel how weak he was. He was currently at level 4 of the God Emperor realm, which was only mediocre. It wasn¡¯t too weak, but not too strong either. Compared to a truly terrifying existence, he was like an ant. Without the system check-in, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have been able to obtain so many trump cards. He wouldn¡¯t have been able to fight against quasi-emperor experts, let alone threaten them. Therefore, Qin Chen wanted to lead everyone forward. The blurry runes on the broken stone tablet seemed to have been thrown into the river of time and washed clean in an instant. It was as if the power of time had corrupted them. Everyone followed Qin Chen forward, similarly motivated. Seeing Qin Chen¡¯s actions, Daoist Jiuji couldn¡¯t help but become serious as well. Following this, they wanted to cross Death Underworld Mountain and obtain great fortune and opportunities. For this, they could only follow Qin Chen. Qin Chen and the others continued to move forward, and none of them knew how far they had traveled. They arrived somewhere which was quite imperfect, with countless terrifying existences. The terrifying existences were probably at the peak of the God Venerable Realm. Looking over, there were probably hundreds of them. Qin Chen and the others felt their hearts turn cold. How were they supposed to survive this? It was already very difficult for them to deal with just one of those terrifying existences. They did not expect that there would be so many here. The terrifying existences were close to the quasi-emperor realm. With so many experts gathered, it would be enough to wipe out the entire Sky-east Star Field. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. With so many terrifying experts, their strength would be extremely terrifying. Even if he had the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. It would probably be broken straight away. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly. Even if they joined forces and everyone went all out, they would not be able to resist these terrifying existences. The feeling of being lost rose in Qin Chen¡¯s heart. He didn¡¯t know what to do now. Even if he had obtained a trump card, it was impossible for him to break through the encirclement of so many terrifying existences. Even resisting for some time was probably impossible. Immediately, an indescribable emotion arose in everyone¡¯s hearts. It was just too difficult. The many terrifying existences were slowly waking up. Even Daoist Jiuji was stunned. ¡°This ¡­ How is this possible?¡± There were so many terrifying existences. Even in the entire Sky-east Star Field, they might not be able to gather so many experts. This was a terrifying army that could sweep across the entire Sky-east Star Field! It was completely made up of peerless experts. If these terrifying experts were to leave Death Underworld Mountain, they would definitely wipe out the Sky-east Star Field. This was the power of these terrifying existences in Death Underworld Mountain. Even if Qin Chen and the others were together, they might not be able to resist these existences. ¡°Too many and too strong.¡± It had reached a point where Qin Chen and the others felt despair. They were like moths to a flame, wanting to kill their way out of Death Underworld Mountain. It was simply courting death. The terrifying existences were waking up one after another as if they were coming back to life. They immediately sensed the auras of Qin Chen and the others, and instantly isolated the void, locking onto everyone. Countless terrifying auras targeted them, making it almost impossible for Qin Chen and the others to escape. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen immediately made his move. ¡°Stop them first! Then run!¡± Even Daoist Jiuji could not possibly survive the hands of these terrifying existences. With that, everyone hurriedly released terrifying attacks, trying their best to stall these terrifying existences. Qin Chen¡¯s face was ferocious as he roared, ¡°Run!¡± They were no match for these terrifying existences at all. It would just be a convenience for the other party to crush them to death. It wouldn¡¯t take much effort at all. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly. Time was of the essence. They had to leave quickly, or else a big problem may occur. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately charged out. Unfortunately, the terrifying existences were unimaginably fast. The distance between them shrunk gradually. If this went on, there would definitely be no possibility of escaping. Qin Chen immediately said to Daoist Jiuji, ¡°Tear the space and cross the void!¡± Among them, Daoist Jiuji was the strongest, which was why he asked him to do it since perhaps only Daoist Jiuji had a chance to tear space. With the strength of the others, it was almost impossible for them to tear through the void. This was because the current void was extremely powerful, and they had been locked on by those terrifying existences. Among them, Daoist Jiuji was a level 9 God Venerable Realm expert, but even he might not be able to tear the void. Fortunately, Daoist Jiuji managed to tear the void in a short time. In other words, they could leave now. Thinking of this, everyone was relieved. They followed Daoist Jiuji through the void and entered this space. Right now, Qin Chen and the others still didn¡¯t know if they could survive. Qin Chen was the last to leave. He saw countless terrifying existences charging toward them. After that, he entered the spatial crack without turning back. When those terrifying existences charged over, the void rift had already recovered, good as new. They had no consciousness, so they did not know how to tear the void. They could only roar incessantly. Qin Chen and the others naturally couldn¡¯t hear it. Countless terrifying existences seemed to have awakened. It was enough to imagine how terrifying this place was.. Chapter 699 - Chapter 699: Crossing the Void Chapter 699: Crossing the Void Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen and the others¡¯ action of tearing space and crossing the void was also very dangerous. After all, the void was extremely dangerous. If they were in the outside world, they would still have the guts. However, crossing the void in Death Underworld Mountain was no different from sending oneself to death. At this moment, everyone in the spatial passageway could feel a different and dangerous aura. This place was within Death Underworld Mountain, so even though they had crossed the void, they still hadn¡¯t left Death Underworld Mountain. They seemed to see a pair of soul-stirring red eyes, as well as countless tentacles that were slowly approaching them. How could there be so many hellish things here? Qin Chen and the others didn¡¯t know what those hellish things were. Since they existed in the void, it could only mean that these existences were not weak. On the contrary, they were even more powerful. God knows what these terrifying things were. Ordinary people could not cross the void. The moment they entered, they would explode and their souls would dissipate. That being said, even though Qin Chen and the other cultivators were extremely powerful, they couldn¡¯t stay here forever. The space in the voi was not stable. If they stayed for too long, their bodies would slowly be unable to withstand it and collapse. In the end, they would still die without a burial place. Yet, the countless terrifying creatures that Qin Chen and the others had just seen were clearly able to survive in the void. It was very likely that they would die straight away if they encountered those creatures. Qin Chen and the others could only pray that they would not be caught up by the terrifying creatures. If they were, they would most likely die. There would be no possibility of survival. Everyone¡¯s hearts were about to jump into their throats. Compared to dying in the void and facing countless terrifying existences, their chances of survival were much higher. ¡°They are here!¡± The big scorpion was terrified. The creatures in the void were coming over, and one could imagine what their ending would be. It was absolutely impossible for them to survive. Daoist Jiuji was also extremely anxious. But what was the use of being anxious? It was almost impossible to get rid of the creatures in the void. ¡°I¡¯ve found a place where the space is relatively weak!¡± Then, Daoist Jiuji opened it and asked everyone to follow him down. A terrifying aura came from the void. Then, in a dark place, a few figures appeared out of thin air. Everyone stabilized themselves with some effort. Just now, the terrifying creatures were about to approach them. Fortunately, they broke through the void and landed elsewhere. However, this place should still be in Death Underworld Mountain. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to come out. If they had been in the quasi-emperor realm, they could¡¯ve tried to cross the void and leave Death Underworld Mountain. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly. The situation had been too terrifying just now. The terrifying creatures had scared everyone out of their wits. They almost thought that they were about to die. After Qin Chen and the others finally managed to stabilize themselves, they looked around. The surroundings were extremely quiet. There was no light in this dark place. One could imagine how dangerous this place was. They were more apprehensive of their current environment than when facing those terrifying creatures just now. This was because there was a huge terror here. They could sense a faint aura in the surroundings, and everyone immediately raised their vigilance. Their current situation was still very dangerous. Who knew how many dangers were hidden in the dark? Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen led everyone and left quickly. After all, this place was definitely not safe. They needed to hide and conceal their auras. Otherwise, God knows when they would encounter terrifying danger again. Qin Chen and the others kept moving forward, hiding in the darkness. However, there were too many terrifying auras in the dark, and for some time, they couldn¡¯t find a safe place. Qin Chen felt quite bitter. Could it be that they had just escaped from the wolf pack and entered the tiger¡¯s mouth again? There didn¡¯t seem to be any other terrifying existences in this place, but did Death Underworld Mountain have a place that wasn¡¯t dangerous? The more the place seemed calm and quiet, the more it meant that this place was definitely dangerous. Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone to the side. There seemed to be other terrifying existences here, but they had not appeared yet. There were huge footprints on the ground. It was enough to show that there was definitely a terrifying expert here. At this point, Qin Chen decided to hide his aura. At the very least, they had to know where the enemy was. Right now, they seemed to have fallen into a passive situation. If a terrifying existence appeared, they might die. Qin Chen said to everyone, ¡°Lees hide for now.¡± Then, he retracted his aura. Everyone followed suit and did not dare to release their aura anymore. If other terrifying existences discovered them, they would definitely be caught off guard. At that time, it would be too late for regret. They didn¡¯t have to wait for too long before they felt the ground begin to tremble. Although they did not know why the ground was trembling, they knew that it was definitely related to that terrifying existence. No other creature could have such great power. They were shocked as they wondered what was going on. Then, the tremors on the ground became increasingly frequent, seemingly because the terrifying existence was approaching. Qin Chen looked around. The surroundings should be the reason why that terrifying existence wanted to come over. Behind them was a huge ball that was like a stone, and everyone wondered what it was. Qin Chen sighed. This should be the egg of a terrifying existence. They had come to the wrong place. Qin Chen and the others held their breaths and quietly moved forward, arriving at a corner that was not easy to discover. They hid inside and realized that there was a different world here. The space below was extremely large, so much so that it made people feel fear. Qin Chen and the others immediately hid inside. He did not know why that terrifying existence could still worry about its eggs although it had turned into a walking corpse. Almost all the living beings in Death Underworld Mountain had died, leaving only walking corpses. There was nothing they could do. Qin Chen smiled bitterly.. Chapter 700 - Chapter 700: Painting Scroll Chapter 700: Painting Scroll Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It seemed that in this world, countless existences still had considerable obsessions even after death. Following this, Qin Chen led everyone and hid inside. They couldn¡¯t get into a conflict with that terrifying existence now. After all, Qin Chen only had the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag as his trump card, and it could only be used once. If he used it, it would be almost impossible for him to survive if he encountered other existences. This was because the relationship between the flag and Qin Chen was one of shared prosperity or destruction. If the flag could not survive, Qin Chen would die. The moment the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was broken, death would befall Qin Chen. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled bitterly, at a loss for what to do now. He led everyone to hide while wondering if there would be any terrifying dangers in the depths of the underground. Daoist Jiuji growled, ¡°I¡¯ll go it¡± With that, he condensed countless terrifying illusions and suppressed the underground. If there was any danger, he would be the first to know. Daoist Jiuji was so fast that no one could sense his speed. Qin Chen could only follow him. If they wanted to avoid that terrifying existence, they could only continue to go deep underground. There seemed to be a problem underground. It was incomparably vast. Even Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t find explanations for it. There seemed to be some kind of danger underground, but unexpectedly, they had yet to encounter it. Daoist Jiuji continued to advance underground. Then, he stopped. They had already reached the bottom. The ground was filled with potholes as if it had experienced a great battle. Qin Chen looked around and extended his spiritual sense, searching for possible dangers. The most dangerous thing in Death Underworld Mountain was the terrifying killing intent. The dangers here were often unexpected. Before they could react, they might die. There were countless terrifying existences in Death Underworld Mountain. Their combined strength was enough to shake the entire Sky-east Star Field. Yet now, such a terrifying place only existed in a small corner. Nothing else happened. Death Underworld Mountain definitely had a huge origin and mystery. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen searched for the dangers in the surroundings. He would never believe that the underground was safe. After all, there was no safe place in Death Underworld Mountain. Moreover, they were in an unfamiliar area of Death Underworld Mountain. They didn¡¯t even know where they were now. After that, Qin Chen led everyone forward. ¡°Look!¡± The big scorpion discovered a figure and immediately prepared to fight. He held his saber and looked forward. Qin Chen also turned his head to look. It was a man. He was half-kneeling on the ground, and God knows what he was doing. Everyone was vigilant. If this man was also a terrifying existence, Qin Chen would use the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag right away. At least he wouldn¡¯t be instantly killed then. As for whether he could survive, it would depend on heaven¡¯s will. Qin Chen slowly walked over. He held the palm-sized flag in his hand which was emitting a faint pressure, making people realize that it was surely an extremely powerful magic item. The man had his back to Qin Chen, so Qin Chen couldn¡¯t see his face. Just as Qin Chen walked to face the man, an aura of despair erupted. Qin Chen was so shocked that he almost threw out the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag. Fortunately, this terrifying existence did not make a move. Instead, when he saw Qin Chen, he opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. Qin Chen mustered his courage and approached the man. The man¡¯s hands were tied with iron chains, binding him tightly. It was like a form of punishment. Qin Chen noticed that the man did not seem to have become a terrifying existence. His eyes seemed to have a flash of consciousness. Yet, he could not sense any aura from the other party¡¯s body. ¡°What is going on? A piece of white paper suddenly appeared in front of the man. It unfolded and became extremely huge. Then, scenes appeared on it. Qin Chen and the others realized that the scenes were about the half-kneeling man bound by iron chains. The scenes seemed to show the man¡¯s past, how he had risen to the top step by The scenes showed the few major events that had happened to the man. Qin Chen and the others finally understood. This should be the painting that this man had left behind to prove his identity. He seemed to be an expert from a powerful race and had finally been discovered now. Qin Chen continued to watch the scenes unfold, and only then did he realize that this man was a quasi-emperor! Unfortunately, in the end, the man was imprisoned here after a great battle. He seemed to have come to Death Underworld Mountain in search of something powerful. At that time, Death Underworld Mountain was still a celestial land. It was a pity that there was nothing left of the celestial land after that great battle. It seemed that countless battles between experts had broken out, which was why Death Underworld Mountain had become what it was today. This battle was extremely terrifying. It was unknown how many experts had died in the peerless battle. There even seemed to be experts from other star fields. ¡°What are they fighting for?¡± From what Qin Chen knew, only the opportunity to become emperor would make them so crazy. Many quasi-emperor-realm experts had died in Death Underworld Mountain, so why was no one aware of such a major event? Even the other sects didn¡¯t know what had happened in Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen felt that he was very close to the truth. He smiled. No matter what, there shouldn¡¯t be a problem. He continued watching the scenes. The painting scroll recorded many scenes. The final scene froze when the man was about to touch something. Then, the scenes went out. Qin Chen found it hard to breathe. He was just a little bit away from discovering the truth. Unfortunately, it was gone. There was nothing left in the painting. The remaining thing was that one of the experts had imprisoned this man here. As time passed, Death Underworld Mountain began to change, which was why the man died. However, after his death, he did not become a walking corpse.. Chapter 701 - Chapter 701: Leave Chapter 701: Leave Translator: Nvoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nvoi-Ro Studio Qin Chen and the others saw the terrifying man¡¯s past from the scroll. One could imagine that the other party had probably obtained heaven-defying opportunities in the past. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have possibly grown to such a stage. Everyone looked at Qin Chen, wondering what his thoughts were about this. Qin Chen looked at the huge painting. He wanted to try to refine this painting scroll. This thing was probably an incredible treasure. With that, Qin Chen refined the painting by persevering to inject his power into it) and the painting became very small. Some kind of power seemed to be wrapped around it. When Qin Chen¡¯s power approached, the power turned into nothingness, leaving nothing behind. If it had been countless years ago, the power of the painting would have been able to pose a huge threat to him. But now, it was unable to pose any danger to him because it had gradually dissipated. No one knew how long it would take for the painting to be completely refined by Qin Chen, but at that time, the painting would become his magic item. Thinking of this, Qin Chen continued to increase his strength. Everyone watched as Qin Chen refined the painting and felt somewhat worried as they did not know if there would be any problems with the painting. In contrast, Qin Chen was smiling because he didn¡¯t sense any threat. As time passed, Qin Chen exhaled heavily as he had already refined the scroll left behind by this terrifying man. He condensed the painting into an ordinary piece of white paper. Then, there was a surprising discovery. After he refined it, he realized that there was a secret to this painting. Previously, he had not completely refined the painting, but now that he had, he learned that the man¡¯s past had not been fully displayed just now. He then activated the piece of white paper, enlarging all the scenes. Everyone immediately saw the complete past of the chained man kneeling on the ground. This man had actually snatched this piece of white paper from someone else, and why he did so shocked Qin Chen greatly. There was a map of Death Underworld Mountain on the scroll! What did that mean? It meant that Qin Chen now knew the entire area of Death Underworld Mountain and where he was currently. Qin Chen continued watching. In the last scene, the terrifying man stared straight at Qin Chen while saying calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll be back.¡± This sentence made Qin Chen feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Could it be that the dead man on the ground could still come back to life? One had to know that since the other party had been trapped here, he was definitely one of the most terrifying existences that had participated in the great battle back then. How could he be resurrected? If he was resurrected, he would be a huge threat. Qin Chen and the others did not know if they could survive such a terrifying existence. He said he would be back, so he would probably be resurrected. At that time, he wouldn¡¯t be like those terrifying walking corpses. Thinking of this, everyone felt a deep fear in their hearts. God knows what this terrifying man had cultivated or what kind of opportunity he had obtained which would allow him to come back to life after countless years of death. ¡°No wonder he didn¡¯t become a walking corpse.¡± With this, the big scorpion and the others knew why the terrifying man did not turn into those terrifying existences in Death Underworld Mountain. ¡°However, if he wants to revive now, he definitely needs to meet some conditions. He probably won¡¯t be revived in a short time.¡± Daoist Jiuji saw the situation clearly. Even if this terrifying man was going to come back to life, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be now. It was very likely that the other party¡¯s resurrection would happen when there was a great change in Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen held the piece of paper in his hand. He knew that if this terrifying man who was half-kneeling on the ground resurrected, he would definitely come after him. The refined white paper in his hand definitely had a great background. It was very likely that it was related to the secret of the battle at Death Underworld Mountain. Qin Chen and the others wanted to destroy the terrifying man¡¯s body. After all, if he were to recover in advance, it would be a huge loss. But soon, he gave up on the idea of destroying the corpse. Then, he looked at the others. Now, he already had a map in his hands. Even if something else happened to Death Underworld Mountain, nothing would change much. Immediately after, Qin Chen activated the piece of white paper, and countless densely packed symbols appeared. ¡°We should be¡­¡± The big scorpion and the others also came over, but they did not find this place on the map. Where was this place? Could it be that it wasn¡¯t in Death Underworld Mountain? This confused Qin Chen and the others. Could it be that they had arrived at a special place that didn¡¯t exist in Death Underworld Mountain? If they wanted to use the map to get out, they could only return to where they were before. Daoist Jiuji laughed. He stretched out his hand. In his hand was a ball of light that emitted spatial power. Qin Chen and the others were somewhat puzzled. ¡°These are the coordinates of the place where we crossed the void just now.¡± At this point, the big scorpion was extremely excited. If that were the case, wouldn¡¯t they be able to return to their previous coordinates? Then, Daoist Jiuji said to Qin Chen and the others,¡± As long as we can return to the surface, I¡¯m confident that I can bring you back to where we came from.¡± Qin Chen nodded and was prepared to leave. Since he had the map of Death Underworld Mountain in his hands, what was there to be afraid of? Thinking of this, Qin Chen led everyone back to the surface. They could feel that the terrifying existence¡¯s aura had gradually disappeared. In other words, there shouldn¡¯t be any danger here. Even if that terrifying existence was attracted by the fluctuation of their void crossing, everyone would have already left by then. There wouldn¡¯t be any danger. Everyone nodded. At this moment, Qin Chen had already charged out. The moment he appeared on the ground, he vigilantly looked around. The terrifying existence had indeed left. Now was the best time for them to cross the void. The big scorpion and the others also arrived above the surface. They saw that nothing had happened to Qin Chen.. Chapter 702 - Chapter 702: Map Chapter 702: Map Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio They immediately left. There was no point in staying any longer. On top of that, they had to hurry as they could not let that terrifying existence catch up to them. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be wasted. Daoist Jiuji immediately tore through space and began to traverse the void. Everyone nodded. They could not stay any longer. Otherwise, there was really no way to be sure of what would happen. ¡°He¡¯s here!¡± Qin Chen roared. He could feel a terrifying aura approaching. If they had no way to leave, only death would await them. They had already been discovered by a terrifying existence. Thinking of this, Qin Chen revealed a bitter smile. As expected, there was a terrifying existence here. Furthermore, he could sense that the other party¡¯s terrifying aura was in the quasi-emperor realm. Therefore, they had to leave with haste. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Daoist Jiuji let out a low growl and took the lead to enter the spatial rift. Everyone hurried in. Otherwise, if they were caught, the terrifying quasi-emperor would not let them go. Qin Chen was still the last to leave. He glanced at the terrifying existence and saw that the latter did not have the chance to catch up. With that, he also entered the spatial rift and they left. In the void, they saw countless terrifying creatures. A pair of soul-stirring red eyes were seemingly chasing after them as if they were interested in them. There were also countless tentacles flying toward them. A claw of some unknown terrifying existence tore through the void and came over, carrying with it a terrifying aura. Qin Chen and the others¡¯ hearts were in their throats. If this continued, it would be impossible for them to survive. Daoist Jiuji immediately formed a ball of light with spatial energy and brought Qin Chen and the others to increase their speed. They turned into light shadows and flew forward. In an instant, they left those terrifying creatures in the void behind by an unknown distance. Everyone was at a loss for words to describe their current emotions. It was as if they were challenging their limits. Just now, they had almost fallen into the hands of those terrifying void creatures. Immediately after, Qin Chen and the others turned into the fastest rays of light, flying straight to a certain place. Then, the ball of light in Daoist Jiuji¡¯s hand dissipated. The terrifying void creatures behind them were still chasing after them. They would not let go of those who were not of their kind. To them, the bodies of Qin Chen and the others were extremely nutritious. Therefore, they would not let the latter go so easily. Daoist Jiuji was forced to retreat a few steps before he managed to tear through the spatial barrier. If they returned from their original route, something big would likely happen. After all, when they were forced to leave previously and enter the underground, there had been countless terrifying existences. Together, they were enough to sweep through the entire Sky-east Star Field. No expert could withstand those terrifying existences. Daoist Jiuji tore open the spatial barrier and left with everyone. If they were not wrong, they should be near the range of those terrifying existences. If they returned to the starting point, what awaited them would only be an even more despairing massacre. Fortunately, Qin Chen and the others followed Daoist Jiuji through the torn space, ultimately avoiding the pursuit of those terrifying void creatures. At this moment, Qin Chen and the others felt dizzy and fell to the ground. This was indeed the place they had been to before Here, Qin Chen and the others had killed the true body of the terrifying existence on the mountain. Qin Chen still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the huge true body of that terrifying existence Fortunately, at least they didn¡¯t land where those countless terrifying existences were. The true body of the terrifying existence here had already been killed by them. Thinking of this, Qin Chen looked at the others. No one felt any fear. The feeling of surviving a calamity was too torturous. They almost thought they were dead. Daoist Jiuji was also panting heavily. He thought he was about to die. At this moment, he looked at the others. No one seemed to be injured. It would probably not take long for them to recover. It was not easy for them to tear through the void. The spatial turbulence made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, those terrifying existences did not catch up. As long as the other party didn¡¯t catch up, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. Thinking up to this point, Qin Chen activated his divine power and opened the piece of white paper. The piece of white paper had a great origin, but he didn¡¯t know what use it had. He only knew that there was a map of Death Underworld Mountain on it. He then looked at the painting and found their current location. ¡°What?!¡± Qin Chen was extremely shocked. They had already reached the depths of Death Underworld Mountain, and they had already covered half the distance to leave. How was this possible? Originally, there had still been some distance between their current position in Death Underworld Mountain and their previous position, but they had skipped it. Qin Chen and the others had never been to those places before. Didn¡¯t this mean that a part of Death Underworld Mountain had already been God knows where those places had gone. But this way, Qin Chen and the others would be able to leave faster. At the same time, they would face fewer dangers. ¡°We are now here.¡± Qin Chen pointed at one of the locations. If they wanted to go over now, going around the side should be faster. The piece of white paper changed after coming into contact with the aura of Death Underworld Mountain. Some places were covered by heavy ink. Qin Chen speculated that such places should have extreme terrors. With this, they couldn¡¯t possibly go to those places. Daoist Jiuji also came over and began to study the map carefully. On the map was a door drawn somewhere. The door was also somewhere they had to pass through. He seemed to have remembered something. Then, he said to Qin Chen and the others, ¡°This should be the place where the ancestor of my Thousand Yin Holy Sect obtained his fortuitous encounter.¡± Qin Chen also looked over. The door had been specially marked. It should be a place with great fortune and opportunities. Then, Qin Chen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go then.¡± Now that they had the map, they were no longer headless flies. Everyone understood that they were getting closer and closer to passing through Death Underworld Mountain. Those quasi-emperor-realm experts who had entered Death Underworld Mountain probably didn¡¯t have a map. As a result, even if they were powerful, they were lost, which was why they couldn¡¯t get out and eventually died here.. Chapter 703 - Chapter 703: Terrifying Monster Chapter 703: Terrifying Monster Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen and the others were different. They had a map. As long as they followed the map, they would definitely be able to leave. However, the biggest problem now was that they had to face countless terrifying existences along the way. For example, the terrifying existences that Qin Chen and the others had encountered before. Added together, they could easily sweep through the entire Sky-east Star Field. Those existences were extremely terrifying. Fortunately, the terrifying existences were marked on the map, allowing them to go around their territories. With that, Qin Chen chose to take a detour. After all, if they encountered those terrifying existences again, only death would await them. They couldn¡¯t tear through space and cross the void every time. If they encountered a relatively stable space, it would take a lot of time to tear space and cross the void. They were lucky last time. Qin Chen led everyone forward according to the markings on the map. Finally, after some time, they stopped. A place that looked like a volcano appeared in front of them. Lava was flowing out of the volcano while flames flickered. Everyone felt that this place surely contained a great terror. The place was marked on the map as well, heavily dyed in black. It was enough to show that this place was definitely not simple. Then, Qin Chen looked at other places. There didn¡¯t seem to be any terrifying existences there. Unknowingly, an aura suddenly appeared, making everyone extremely surprised. The ground beneath their feet began to shake as a burning monster rushed out of the ground. Lava splashed everywhere. Qin Chen and the others merely managed to block the lava by striking out with divine power. Looking at the others, all of them seemed to be feeling uneasy. Qin Chen took a step forward. Now, he was the only one who could fight this burning monster since he had the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag on him. With that, a palm-sized flag appeared in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. Then, he looked at the monster burning with boiling flames that seemed to be walking towards him. This monster was in the quasi-emperor realm. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know if the palm-sized Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in his hand could deal with it. Death Underworld Mountain had countless terrifying existences, but the one that made Qin Chen the most fearful was this burning monster. As the distance between the two of them closed, Qin Chen immediately activated the palm-sized Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, and it turned into a dazzling beam of light. Then, an incomparably terrifying fluctuation erupted, shaking the void. At this moment, Qin Chen had become one with the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag! He felt that he had become incomparably powerful. Then, he charged straight toward the burning monster. The small flag swelled with the wind, reaching a height of 1,000 feet. It looked as if it could cut through countless galaxies. Boundless powers of the array surged out, enveloping Qin Chen and the burning monster. The only person who could fight against that terrifying monster was Qin Chen. None of the others were as powerful as him now. Qin Chen immediately charged out, wanting to block the terrifying monster. In the end, he was sent flying. However, with the power of the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, Qin Chen was no longer just a level 4 God Emperor. The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in his hand seemed to have allowed him to step into the quasi-emperor realm. At this point, Qin Chen and the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag were bound. They would triumph or be defeated together. He could feel that the power of the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag making him stronger. This burning monster was destined to be no match for Qin Chen. Qin Chen vowed to win! Otherwise, if the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag¡¯s power turned out to be no match for the terrifying monster, he would suffer a backlash. At that time, even if the monster didn¡¯t make a move, he would die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen let out a furious roar and charged toward the terrifying monster. Incomparable powers of array pressed down on the monster. Qin Chen didn¡¯t seem to care if he could block this terrifying monster. With a whoosh, he crossed the distance and arrived in front of the burning monster. As a quasi-emperor realm monster, it was naturally extremely powerful. It punched out and shattered the void! Countless terrifying flames flew from its body as if they wanted to burn Qin Chen into ashes. Everyone cried out in surprise. They could see that there were countless rules within the flames. If those flames landed on Qin Chen, they were afraid that he would be severely injured in an instant. Qin Chen was also aware of the power of flames. With just a glance, he felt as if his eyes were about to be burned. He held the 1,000-foot-tall Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag and fanned it at the countless terrifying flames. With this, the flames instantly receded. Most of them were blown away and could no longer pose any threat to him. However, at this moment, the burning monster had also punched over. Qin Chen wielded the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag and slashed down with momentum. At this moment, the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was like a peerless array. It carried the terrifying powers of the array and pressed down on the burning monster. Boom! With a loud bang, Qin Chen successfully repelled the monster. Unfortunately, at this moment, his internal organs were also trembling. Just exchanging a blow with the terrifying existence almost made him unable to withstand it. One could imagine how powerful the burning monster was. At this moment, Qin Chen felt as if his body was in a storm, and he was at risk of shattering at any moment. After all, even if he had the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, it would still be difficult for him to defeat the terrifying monster. Both of them were now in the quasi-emperor realm, but the terrifying monster was the real deal. With every action from the monster, the power of rules roared. It was like a crazy ancient beast. As long as it was not dead, its power of rules would be endless. Furthermore, the power of rules could be augmented by the heavens and earth, which was very different from the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in Qin Chen¡¯s hand could only mobilize the power of the array. It was weaker. Qin Chen¡¯s only advantage was that the burning monster had already lost consciousness and was dead. It was now but a walking corpse, an existence that was neither human nor ghost. There was no technique in this battle. It was completely brutal. In one word, it was reckless. Otherwise, Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have been able to stand firm and would¡¯ve perhaps already been killed by this terrifying monster. He did not doubt that if he revealed any flaws, the burning monster might seize the opportunity to defeat him.. Chapter 704 - Chapter 704: Fight to Win or Die Chapter 704: Fight to Win or Die Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen then unleashed his full strength. When he refined the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, he had already fully grasped the power of this magic item. Fighting against this terrifying monster made him master the usage of the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag even faster. As such, he was not flustered at all when facing the burning monster. Breaking all rules with force! Qin Chen had been at a disadvantage since the start of the battle, but he had nothing to be afraid of. After all, it wouldn¡¯t be easy for the terrifying monster to break the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag and kill him. ¡°I don¡¯t know if Elder King can turn the tables,¡± The big scorpion was worried. ¡°I think he can,¡± Daoist Jiuji nodded. The Qin Chen he knew had brought him countless surprises, and each time, he was incomparably surprised. Now, since Qin Chen could hold on till this point and was still not defeated by the burning monster, then he might really turn the tables and kill the monster. The big scorpion and Daoist Jiuji started to comment on the battle as if nothing could make them worry about Qin Chen. However, the big scorpion couldn¡¯t be blamed for having such an attitude. Along the way, the big scorpion was one of the people who had accompanied Qin Chen the longest. Qin Chen was able to turn danger into safety every time. A mere quasi-emperor-realm monster burning with flames simply didn¡¯t have the strength to send Qin Chen to Heaven. The true dragon and the flame-wing beast snorted coldly as well, looking at Qin Chen and the burning monster. Originally, they wanted to share some of the pressure for Qin Chen. After all, the burning monster was too powerful. However, Qin Chen sent a voice transmission to them, telling them not to come over. This was because their realms were not enough to join the battle. They simply couldn¡¯t hurt the burning monster. On the contrary, they might even become a burden to Qin Chen. If they joined the battle as well, he would be restrained and unable to use his full strength. That was why no one participated. Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. He held the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag and slashed down ruthlessly again. The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag became a blade, with the flag pole as the blade¡¯s handle. It was like a peerless sword in his hand. Boundless powers of the array immediately pressed down on the terrifying burning monster. Qin Chen was also constantly searching for the weakness of this terrifying existence. Since he had flaws, so did the burning monster. Qin Chen had found many flaws in the burning monster, but the key was that those flaws weren¡¯t enough to seriously injure the monster and kill it in one strike. That was why Qin Chen kept probing the terrifying monster. This monster was already dead and had lost consciousness. Naturally, it could not be noticed what Qin Chen was doing. If it was still alive, it would¡¯ve gritted its teeth and attacked with all its might. Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t have been able to resist at all. At that time, the one who would die would be Qin Chen. Qin Chen observed the terrifying monster. This monster¡¯s body was extremely powerful. No matter how powerful the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in his hand was, it might not be able to withstand the other party.. Chapter 705 - Chapter 705: Waking Up (1) Chapter 705: Waking Up (1) Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Where is your weakness?¡± Qin Chen was still searching for the terrifying monster¡¯s weakness, but the monster still did not budge at all. Just as Qin Chen was wondering if he could deal with the terrifying monster, he smiled. ¡°Found it.¡± At this moment, he had found the terrifying monster¡¯s weakness. As long as he could seize the opportunity, the terrifying monster would be destroyed. At this point, the terrifying monster that was burning with flames had already aimed at Qin Chen. In its opinion, no matter how powerful Qin Chen was, the latter couldn¡¯t possibly hurt it. As such, it underestimated its enemy. The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in Qin Chen¡¯s hand had already turned into a sharp blade. QinChen wondered if the terrifying monster could withstand it or not. He used the Moving Secret Technique and was barely able to keep up with the terrifying monster¡¯s speed. Now, the monster was charging at him. He could only take the risk and try to get rid of it. If the terrifying monster didn¡¯t die, then Qin Chen would die. Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately attacked. At this moment, he had already unleashed his full strength. He couldn¡¯t and wouldn¡¯t stop no matter what. He was now like an arrow that had left the bow. The monster, whose body was covered in flames, looked at Qin Chen without any fear. It punched out with terrifying rules, wanting to finish the latter off. At this point, it was as if Qin Chen had just brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper. That punch that contained terrifying rules almost hit him. Luckily, he dodged at the critical moment. Then, he hid behind the monster. Following this, he waved the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in an attempt to shatter the terrifying monster¡¯s body. In contrast, the terrifying monster did not seem to realize that Qin Chen was already behind it.. The terrifying monster then looked behind itself. At this moment, Qin Chen had already charged over. With lightning speed, he stabbed the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag into the body of this terrifying monster. Even if the flaming monster was a quasi-emperor-realm expert, it might not be able to withstand the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in Qin Chen¡¯s hand. After all, the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag was a magic item. Qin Chen had stabbed the flag into the body of this terrifying monster, making the latter almost go crazy. The terrifying monster that was burning with flames let out a furious roar. Although it was already dead, it was not completely dead.. Chapter 706 - Chapter 706: Waking Up (2) Chapter 706: Waking Up (2) Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After losing consciousness, it had become a walking corpse in Death Underworld Mountain. Now that Qin Chen had inserted a flag into its body, it went completely berserk. With this, it threw a punch at Qin Chen, causing the void to tremble. However, at this point, Qin Chen was not afraid at all. Even though he had no chance to dodge now, he was still not afraid. The punch landed heavily on his chest, and he was instantly sent flying. Qin Chen had yet to realize the terrifying brute force of this terrifying monster. To think he was hammered into the ground a thousand miles deep! Everyone was extremely worried. ¡°Elder King!¡¯ The flame-wing beast and the true dragon attacked. They tore through the void and arrived in front of the terrifying monster. When Daoist Jiuji saw this scene, he was also shocked. He immediately condensed countless terrifying illusions, charging straight toward that terrifying existence. The terrifying monster had yet to realize that Qin Chen had disappeared underground when it saw the others charging toward it. It was a terrifying quasi-emperor. How could it be injured? Since these weaklings dared to provoke it, they simply did not know the immensity of heaven and earth! ¡°Be careful!¡± The flame-wing beast saw the terrifying monster charging over. Even if the monster was severely injured, it was still a quasi-emperor. It was not something they could rival at all. Seeing that the situation was looking bad, Daoist Jiuji immediately condensed an illusion to block the terrifying monster. However, the illusion he created was nothing in the eyes of the quasi-emperor. The illusion was shattered by a punch and immediately turned into nothingness. It was over. This was the flame-wing beast¡¯s last thought. It would probably die under this punch. If only it could be stronger, how could it be in such a weak position? The flame-wing beast was on the verge of despair. It didn¡¯t think it had a chance to survive this terrifying punch. After all, the was extremely terrifying and could destroy all God Venerable realm experts. Those below the quasi-emperor realm simply couldn¡¯t resist it. Qin Chen smiled. He had once again seized an excellent opportunity. Just as the flame-wing beast was being attacked, Qin Chen charged out from the void. With the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in hand, he moved to behead the terrifying monster! The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in his hand had become extremely sharp as if it could cut through everything in the world. The terrifying monster burning with flames never expected that the danger would come from behind.. Chapter 707 - Chapter 707: Waking Up (3) Chapter 707: Waking Up (3) Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The main reason was that Qin Chen was too fast. With irresistible force, he aimed to destroy this terrifying monster. Only by beheading the terrifying monster could they survive. After all, it was no ordinary existence. On the contrary, it was extremely powerful. Even if they used all their strength, they still couldn¡¯t resist the other party. Qin Chen¡¯s current attack was going to take the life of this terrifying monster. A drop of blood fell on the ground. The flame-wing beast felt as if everything was settled and the world quieted down. It could not fathom what was going on. Did it not die? The flame-wing beast felt no pain. What had happened? When it opened its eyes, he realized that the terrifying monster had been beheaded, leaving only its headless corpse behind! In Qin Chen¡¯s hand was the head of the terrifying burning monster. But at this moment, the head had already begun to rot. Even the headless corpse decayed into nothingness. It simply turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind. Qin Chen charged out. Regardless of all else, it should¡¯ve been impossible for him to resist the terrifying monster. Without the Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag, he would have been the one to die. At this moment, Qin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His meridians were almost completely shattered. Even if he had the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor, he was almost unable to withstand that terrifying monster¡¯s punch. That was a punch from a quasi-emperor, leaving Qin Chen severely injured. Right now, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight. He did not have any strength at all. After all, the terrifying monster was very powerful. If his attack didn¡¯t kill the terrifying monster, then he would¡¯ve been the one to die. Qin Chen looked around. There seemed to be no danger around. With that, his sight turned black as he fell from the sky. Just as Qin Chen was about to hit the ground, he was supported by Daoist Jiuji. Daoist Jiuji couldn¡¯t just watch Qin Chen smash into the ground like that. At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were still filled with lingering fear. After all, they were simply no match for that terrifying monster. If the terrifying monster had been just a little stronger, perhaps even two Qin Chens would not be its match. Fortunately, the flaming monster was already dead. If it didn¡¯t die, Qin Chen really didn¡¯t know what he should do. Everyone looked at Qin Chen. They wondered how long it would take for him to wake up. After all, he was currently severely injured. The Xuanyuan Fuxi Flag in his hand also shattered into countless pieces, floating into the void before disappearing.. Chapter 708 - Chapter 708: Waking Up (4) chapter 708: waking up (4) translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio at this moment, qin chen felt like he was about to die. indeed, even if was daoist jiuji, ten of him would not be able to withstand the terrifying monster¡¯s punch. after some time, qin chen finally woke up from his coma. he slowly opened his eyes and looked around. everyone was pleasantly surprised. qin chen had already been unconscious for three days and three nights, they thought that he would not be able to make it anymore. after all, qin chen¡¯s current aura was very weak. he was hanging on to his last breath with quite a difficulty. ¡°elder king, you¡¯ve finally woken up.¡± qin chen revealed a bitter smile. he was lucky to be able to wake up. after all, that was a terrifying attack from a quasi-emperor. if he didn¡¯t have the supreme heavenly origin armor, even if qin chen was a god venerable-realm expert. he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the terrifying attack. fortunately, he had already dealt with the burning monster. otherwise, it was very likely that he would have been dead by now. if that happened, it would be impossible for the others to survive. after all, the attack had been terrifying. qin chen stood up with difficulty. he swallowed natural treasures and refined them to recover from his injuries. if he couldn¡¯t recover from his injuries, it would be because his great path foundation must have been damaged. these few days, while qin chen was unconscious, everyone had been protecting him. as a result, qin chen managed to pull through safely. daoist jiuji told qin chen that during these few days, he had explored a portion of the area ahead. there seemed to be a strange city that was emitting terrifying fluctuations. he did not dare to approach it, afraid that he would trigger the pursuit of the terrifying existence within. during qin chen¡¯s unconscious state, any ordinary cultivator would be able to deal with him easily. now that qin chen had woken up, everyone seemed to have found their backbone. if not, they didn¡¯t know what to do next. having reached this point, it hadn¡¯t been easy for them to survive. if they wanted to continue to advance, god knows what would happen. everyone looked at qin chen and he smiled faintly. since they had already made it through this crisis, it meant that nothing should happen next. qin chen looked into the distance. according to the map, they were now in the middle of death underworld mountain. as long as they persevered, they should be able to pass through the mountain very quickly. at that time, they would be able to reach wherever was outside death underworld mountain. only in this way could they survive. otherwise, they would die in death underworld mountain.. Chapter 709 - Chapter 709: City chapter 709: city translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the withering power of death underworld mountain was still entering their bodies. qin chen¡¯s body was already filled with an unknown amount of withering power, and he didn¡¯t know what that would make him become. the withering power could gradually devour the flesh and blood essence in their bodies, which was equivalent to eating away at their lifespan. god knows what happened in death underworld mountain to make it so terrifying. there were almost no living beings here. there was not a trace of life. if not for qin chen¡¯s ability to check in with the system, he couldn¡¯t possibly have reached this point. perhaps he was already dead. then, qin chen smiled. ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± right now, he had almost fully recovered from his injuries. such a recovery speed was extremely terrifying. as qin chen continued to move forward, he could also quickly recover from his injuries. he continued to lead everyone forward. they now had the strength to advance. besides, the terrifying monster here had been killed by qin chen. as such, there was almost no danger now. if there had been any danger, it would have appeared long ago. the withering power in everyone¡¯s bodies was no less compared to qin chen. the longer they stayed in death underworld mountain, the more withering power would be in their bodies. given the current terrifying amount of withering power in their bodies, they might not be able to make it out of here if they dawdled. they had already stayed in death underworld mountain for a few months now, which was why they were so eager to leave. it was not that they could survive the countless dangers. it was because they did not have much time left. time waits for no man. they could not bear the consequences. thinking of this, qin chen hurriedly led everyone forward. he frowned. he could only take a gamble now. after all, the trump cards on him had been exhausted and were almost non-existent. he couldn¡¯t resist the next terrifying existence. if the next terrifying existence was weaker, as long as it was not in the quasi-emperor realm, they would still have a chance of survival. they could still give it a try. however, if they encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert, it would be almost impossible for them to survive. at this moment, qin chen and the others had already arrived at the edge of the area. not far away, a city appeared! this should be the strange city that the daoist jiuji had mentioned. qin chen and the others heard a sound from the city. they did not know what was going on. they didn¡¯t know what to do either. qin chen said, ¡°there should be a problem here.¡± for such a place to appear in death underworld mountain, it absolutely contained huge terror. thinking of this, qin chen extended his spiritual will, wanting to see what was in that strange city. on the city walls of the strange city were a few large words. ¡°city of unjust death!¡± the words were extremely eye-catching, and people could notice them at the first moment. qin chen felt his soul was about to boil as he looked at the city. he couldn¡¯t probe his spiritual will into it. there might be terrifying existences within. the strange city was emitting terrifying fluctuations, making it impossible for qin chen¡¯s spiritual will to enter. immediately after, qin chen retracted his spiritual will. ¡®elder king, how is it inside?¡± the big scorpion asked. he didn¡¯t know what was going on in the strange city, so he asked the elder ¡°there seems to be a terrifying existence inside. my spiritual will can¡¯t get close at all.¡± if his spiritual will could get close, he would have been able to know what kind of terrifying existence was in the city. qin chen then looked at the others. there were only two paths in front of them now. one was to stop and perhaps live a little longer. the other was to go straight ahead. however, they did not know what terrifying existence was in that strange city. if there was a terrifying existence close to the quasi-emperor realm, they would be like sheep entering the tigers den. at that time, death would await them.. Chapter 710 - Chapter 710: City of Unjust Death chapter 710: city of unjust death translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio now, everyone didn¡¯t know what to do. after all, the withering power was still constantly entering their bodies. thinking of this, qin chen was worried and at a loss. then, everyone expressed their opinions. they were willing to move forward. since staying here would only lead to death, they might as well take a gamble. that way, at least they could fight for survival. thinking of this, qin chen nodded. following this, he led everyone into the city. it was extremely dangerous, given the terrifying aura in that strange city. the aura was likely emitted by a terrifying existence within. daoist jiuji suddenly said,¡± this is indeed a forbidden ground of the thousand yin holy sect. the city of unjust death, 800-mile river lethe. before us is the city of unjust death with terrifying souls in it. beyond the city of unjust death is the 800-mile river lethe that can devour the souls of cultivators.¡± upon hearing this, qin chen and the others trembled. who would have thought that the city of unjust death would be so terrifying? if they were to enter, they would definitely encounter the terrifying soul of a quasi-emperor. how could they resist a quasi-emperor-realm soul? it was likely that they would die with just a thought from the other party. thinking of this, everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with gloom. what should they do? qin chen walked out. ¡°follow me.¡± if it was just a quasi-emperor-realm soul, he had a way to deal with it. after all, he had the heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon left behind by the chaotic heavenly emperor. the heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon¡¯s terror was quite apparent. one had to know that the former divine fire great emperor had been an ancient great emperor. his remnant soul had wanted to possess qin chen¡¯s body, but it was destroyed by the latter using the chaos divine ring. as such, a mere quasi-emperor soul was nothing to qin chen. he looked at the city of unjust death. ¡°city of unjust death¡­¡± what kind of terrifying soul could it be? to think it was in the quasi-emperor realm. they might not be able to deal with the other party. thinking of this, qin chen looked at the others. everyone followed him. unexpectedly, the terrifying soul had reached a terrifying realm. when qin chen and the others approached the city of unjust death, they were shocked by the terrifying aura. their souls trembled. however, the current qin chen had no other choice. such a terrifying soul was not something he could easily defeat. qin chen and the others entered the city of unjust death. as qin chen pushed open the gates to the city of unjust death, daoist jiuji¡¯s body trembled. he had arrived at the city of unjust death! legend had it that the quasi-emperor-realm experts of the thousand yin holy sect had entered the city of unjust death and never came out. the place was extremely strange. now that he had stepped into the city of unjust death, how could he not be excited? at this point, qin chen was sizing up the city of unjust death. there seemed to be nothing unusual. everything in the city of unjust death was the same as the cities in the outside world. it was not quite possible though. qin chen continued to advance. just then, a terrifying aura erupted from the city of unjust death, incomparably boundless. qin chen and the others felt as if they were facing a terrifying existence. they saw a figure appear above the city of unjust death. this figure was none other than the quasi-emperor soul that existed in the city of unjust death. qin chen looked at the terrifying soul. it looked like an ancient necromancer. god knows how the city of unjust death was formed. however, since it could become the forbidden ground of the thousand yin holy sect in death underworld mountain, it must have a great background. thinking of this, qin chen looked at the others. the others didn¡¯t seem to have come to their senses yet. that terrifying necromancer was like an ancient great emperor. in just a thought, he had arrived in front of qin chen and the others. of course, this was also related to the other party¡¯s lack of a physical body. since the soul had no physical body, it was understandable for it to be so fast. the soul looked at them because they were not ordinary people. in the eyes of the terrifying necromancer in the city of unjust death, there was a fluctuation in their bodies that made him apprehensive. the strength of those that could enter the city of unjust death was also very powerful. it had been a long time since other living beings had come to the city of unjust death. although qin chen and the others had very weak cultivations such that not a single one of them was a peak god venerable-realm expert, this didn¡¯t mean that they were weak. qin chen looked at the terrifying soul. the other party was a quasi-emperor. even a true quasi-emperor had to be careful when dealing with such a terrifying existence for fear of the possibility that they would fail miserably. immediately after, qin chen burst out with a terrifying aura. terrifying fluctuations instantly erupted from the chaos divine ring within qin chen¡¯s body, causing people to notice him. even the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm necromancer looked at qin chen as the latter¡¯s strength truly made him somewhat fearful. the terrifying necromancer could sense that qin chen¡¯s aura was the source of his uneasiness. therefore, he targeted qin chen immediately. this was the only way to solve his worries. seeing the terrifying necromancer charging toward him, qin chen had nothing to be afraid of. after all, he had the chaos divine ring in his body. the reason he unleashed his aura was also to attract the other party into his body. only in this way could he easily get rid of the other party. qin chen smiled. if the terrifying soul really entered his body, it would be exactly what he wanted. qin chen could then unleash the full power of the chaos divine ring. at that time, it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy this terrifying quasi-emperor-realm soul. qin chen smiled as he looked at the terrifying necromancer charging at him. he didn¡¯t show any fear. instead, he revealed a cold smile. as long as the other party dared to enter his body, only death would await him. following this, qin chen released the effects of the chaos divine ring in his body. only in this way could he deal with the other party.. Chapter 711 - Chapter 711: Annihilating the Necromancer chapter 711: annihilating the necromancer translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this terrifying necromancer didn¡¯t dodge at all when he saw qin chen. instead, he became even more ferocious as he formed a huge illusionary body, wanting to devour qin chen. he did not expect qin chen to emit a fluctuation that made him feel wary. he then decided to enter qin chen¡¯s body and destroy the latter¡¯s soul. one must know that a soul in the quasi-emperor realm had many abilities and could easily deal with qin chen. however, he could feel that there was something inside qin chen¡¯s body. still, he chose to enter the other party¡¯s body. the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm soul could definitely kill a cultivator after entering the latter¡¯s body. there was no way to resolve such an attack. if daoist jiuji hadn¡¯t told him about the situation in the city of unjust death, even qin chen wouldn¡¯t have had the confidence to enter. after all, there was a terrifying existence in the city. if it was any other quasi-emperor, qin chen and the others would have been killed the moment they were discovered. quasi-emperors were terrifying existences, after all. they could not be fathomed with common sense. when they were alive, they could communicate with heaven and earth and control rules. the power they displayed was incomparably terrifying. killing qin chen and the others was a piece of cake. but now, qin chen immediately released the guard on his physical body, allowing the terrifying quasi-emperor to enter. before qin chen could react, the terrifying necromancer had entered his body. at this moment, qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit was like a miniature version of him, confronting his opponent. the terrifying necromancer only needed to devour qin chen¡¯s soul to kill the latter. however, the current qin chen didn¡¯t seem easy to deal with. this was because in his hand was a divine ring that was emitting an incomparably terrifying chaotic aura. qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit looked at the necromancer, and the latter immediately launched an attack on him. only now had the necromancer discovered that qin chen¡¯s soul was holding a terrifying magic item. the fluctuations emitted by the magic item seemed to be able to kill him. he would never give such an opportunity to qin chen. as such, he wanted to deal with the latter. qin chen hadn¡¯t expected the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm necromancer to charge at him. one had to know that he had the heavenly emperor¡¯s soul weapon left behind by the chaotic heavenly emperor, an ancient great emperor. yet, the terrifying necromancer did not dodge. instead, he took the initiative to attack. it seemed that the other party was the same as those terrifying existences. they were already dead, leaving only the killing instinct of their souls. qin chen could imagine how terrifying the other party would be if he was still alive and had a physical body. the other party would¡¯ve definitely been one of the most powerful quasi-emperors. otherwise, his soul wouldn¡¯t have been so terrifying after death. the necromancer looked at the chaos divine ring in qin chen¡¯s hand and immediately wanted to kill him. unfortunately, at this moment, he was already in qin chen¡¯s home ground. in the past, the remnant soul of the divine fire great emperor had tried to possess qin chen¡¯s body, but the latter used the chaos divine ring to destroy it. now, since the terrifying necromancer dared to fight against what qin chen was best at, he would not show mercy and let the other party live. qin chen immediately attacked. the chaos divine ring released a dazzling light at this moment, turning into the most terrifying magic item. the terrifying light that it emitted almost annihilated the quasi-emperor-realm necromancer instantly. the necromancer did not expect qin chen to be so terrifying. the attack was about to tear his soul apart. at this moment, all of his soul had entered qin chen¡¯s body, and it was basically impossible to leave. after all, the terrifying divine ring was simply a natural nemesis of souls. for the first time, the quasi-emperor-realm necromancer felt despair. in the past, he had encountered countless experts and had dealt with them frankly. but now, it was almost impossible for him to deal with the other party. qin chen looked at the terrifying expert and smiled. although this necromancer was powerful, it was a pity that the other party¡¯s remaining soul had encountered him. qin chen could easily deal with the terrifying existence. since even the remnant souls of ancient great emperors weren¡¯t his match, this necromancer was naturally not a threat. as qin chen moved, the necromancer was naturally no match for him. in the end, he could only struggle to hold on before soon turning into nothingness and dying. qin chen didn¡¯t expect that after killing that terrifying necromancer, the other party left behind a stream of pure energy. it must be known that this pure energy could do no harm to qin chen. with this, qin chen used his primordial spirit to slowly devour the pure energy left behind by the necromancer. this pure energy was soul power. it would be of great help to qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit if he refined it. as such, qin chen quickly refined it, and after some time, his primordial spirit became incomparably strong. this was the soul power left behind by a quasi-emperor, after all. if he could refine and devour it, he would naturally become incomparably powerful. as qin chen refined the soul power at an extreme speed, the pure soul power was also decreasing. when qin chen opened his eyes, daoist jiuji and the others were incomparably shocked. that was the soul of a quasi-emperor, yet it had died so quickly! this was too unbelievable! only the big scorpion and the others didn¡¯t seem too surprised. they had seen how qin chen had destroyed the remnant soul of an ancient great emperor. as a result, wasn¡¯t this puny quasi-emperor simply courting death? now, that terrifying necromancer had been refined into pure soul power by qin chen. qin chen looked at the city of unjust death. since this place had such a terrifying existence, there was definitely great fortune and opportunity here. after dealing with that terrifying necromancer, there shouldn¡¯t be any other danger here. as long as qin chen and the others were careful, they wouldn¡¯t be in any danger. qin chen let out a breath. everyone could feel that qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit had become stronger. step by step, qin chen walked into the depths of the city of unjust death. it should be very easy to find great opportunities and fortunes in the city of unjust death. as qin chen searched the place, the crowd was also emboldened.. since the necromancer was already dead, what was there to be afraid of? Chapter 712 - Chapter 712: Wooden Tablet and Altar chapter 712: wooden tablet and altar translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio daoist jiuji never knew that qin chen was so powerful. to think the latter could even kill the soul of a quasi-emperor easily in what felt like an instant. thinking of this, he was filled with fear towards qin chen¡¯s powerful and mysterious trump cards. he didn¡¯t know how many more trump cards the other party had. as the terrifying necromancer died, everyone continued to search for great fortunes and opportunities in the city of unjust death. unfortunately, the city of unjust death seemed huge. it should have been created by something similar to spatial supernomral knowledge. after walking in the city of unjust death for a day, they had not even reached the end. one could imagine how big the city was. as qin chen and the others continued to walk around the city of unjust death, they also discovered some extraordinary things. the city of unjust death had countless weapons and magic items. unfortunately, they were mostly already damaged, and their masters had also turned into piles of bones. it was as if they had instantly become like this the minute their lives had been taken away. could it be that they had encountered an unstoppable force in the city of unjust death back then and thus become such remains? perhaps that was how the terrifying necromancer became as he had been just now. he probably never imagined that he would be killed instantly by qin chen. after all, several quasi-emperor experts had died at the hands of the terrifying necromancer. yet now, such a terrifying expert had died in the hands of the puny god emperor-realm qin chen. it was simply inconceivable. this was the reason why daoist jiuji was so afraid of qin chen. he didn¡¯t know how many trump cards the latter had. qin chen had never revealed all of his trump cards. this was also the reason why daoist jiuji had been willing to follow him. as long as qin chen was around, he would feel extremely at ease. it was as if no difficulty could stop them. they would definitely be able to cross death underworld mountain and leave alive! currently, they had arrived at a corner of the city of unjust death. qin chen looked at a wooden token in the corner and seemed to sense something. he walked to it and picked it up. god knows what material this wooden token was made of, but it was emitting a mysterious fluctuation that surprised him. could it be that this wooden token also had some great origin? he then injected his divine power into the wooden token, and it gradually came to life. the fluctuations that were emitted guided qin chen and the others in another direction in the city of unjust death. with that, they approached the depths of the city of unjust death. the fluctuations that were emitted from the depths of the city made qin chen feel somewhat apprehensive. he seemed to be able to sense danger ahead. but now, the most terrifying quasi-emperor-realm necromancer in the city of unjust death had been killed by him. there shouldn¡¯t be any more unexpected happenings. qin chen led everyone forward step by step. finally, they arrived at their destination. qin chen looked around and noticed that there was an altar carved out of jade in the distance. he wondered what the jade altar was used for, so he walked over to it. at this moment, the wooden token in his hand started to tremble violently, seemingly about to fly out of his hand. the altar carved from jade seemed to have always existed in the city of unjust death. it was unknown when or who had built it. since it could appear in the city of unjust death, it must have a huge connection with the city. qin chen looked at the altar carved of jade and immediately discovered a groove on the altar. it seemed to correspond to the wooden token in his hand. as such, qin chen slowly placed the wooden token in his hand into the groove on the altar. the wooden token seemed to have automatically fused with the jade altar. then, to qin chen¡¯s surprise, the wooden token changed once it was inserted into the jade altar¡¯s groove. it seemed to have turned into a jade-like material. then, it erupted with shocking fluctuations. qin chen and the others were incomparably shocked. they did not know what was going on. they set their eyes on the altar. a beam of light shot out from the altar and into the sky. no one knew why. immediately, qin chen felt as if he was about to die as he was being suppressed by a huge soul force. the others felt the same. all of them looked at the pillar of light in the sky and saw that within the pillar of light were the countless souls of the people suppressed in the city. these souls were left behind by the countless experts that qin chen had seen before. this made qin chen extremely puzzled. he did not know what was going on. could it be that the souls of all who had died in the city of unjust were suppressed under this altar? if that were the case, that would be quite terrifying. before they knew it, they might trigger some mechanism in the city of unjust death, and countless terrifying resentful souls would come out and tear them into pieces. if that happened, that wouldn¡¯t just be one or two quasi-emperors¡¯ souls, but countless. no one had ever thought that there would be such a huge danger hidden in the city of unjust death. fortunately, qin chen found the wooden token. now that he had returned the wooden token to its original position, he released all the vengeful souls. the resentful souls seemed to have melted into nothingness in the pillar of light. they were finally freed and left with smiles. they seemed to be thanking qin chen. this caused qin chen¡¯s heart to tremble. he could be considered to have done a good deed. qin chen wondered about the city of unjust death. what was the use of suppressing the vengeful souls of countless terrifying experts? when he thought of the inhumane torture these terrifying experts had suffered after death, he could imagine it must¡¯ve simply been a huge pain for them. fortunately, he had released all of them now. at this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in qin chen¡¯s mind. qin chen was instantly excited because he could feel that the altar which seemed to be carved of jade was emitting powerful fluctuations of divinity. this shocked him extremely.. Chapter 713 - Chapter 713: Dark Nether Divine Light chapter 713: dark nether divine light translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the powerful divinity remnant fluctuation was emitted by the altar carved from jade. now that the system had noticed it, qin chen could use the system to check-in. at that time, he would be able to obtain a good trump card and go further. they were not too far away from crossing death underworld mountain. as long as they could persevere, they would be able to survive. [ding, dong!] [weak divinity remnants have been found here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] qin chen immediately said, ¡°check in!¡± with this, he would be able to obtain a trump card that might be able to destroy those terrifying existences and thus allow them to last longer in death underworld mountain. [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in to the netherworld altar of the city of unjust death. you have received the reward, dark nether divine light.] [dark nether divine light: a great killing weapon refined by a quasi-emperor-realm expert. it is refined from the blood and souls of countless living beings. it contains immense power. a one-time consumable that can kill terrifying quasi-emperors.] hearing this, qin chen was extremely excited. the power of the dark nether divine light could kill terrifying quasi-emperors. he hadn¡¯t expected to obtain such a terrifying killing weapon from checking in. this was refined from the blood and souls of countless living beings. it carried a boundless amount of evil. the terrifying dark nether divine light appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. he wondered which great villain had refined it. he looked at the ball of light in his hand and felt that it was extremely terrifying. then, he stored the light in his physical body. this was because if he stored it in the spatial ring, he would most likely be unable to take it out in time when he encountered danger. qin chen smiled. he had finally found a place where there were remnants of powerful divinity and successfully obtained a trump card that could deal with terrifying existences in the quasi-emperor realm. although it could only be used once, this opportunity was equivalent to qin chen and the others having another chance to save their lives. qin chen looked into the distance. in the distance was actually the city gate of the city of unjust death. at this moment, it opened with a loud bang, allowing qin chen and the others to come and go as they wished. following this, they walked out of the city of unjust death. some kind of terrifying existence seemed to be roaring in the city of unjust death¡¯s underground, but unfortunately, qin chen and the others did not hear it. after walking for some time, they finally left the city of unjust death. they were now approaching the 800 -mile river lethe that daoist jiuji had mentioned. it was said that the 800-mile river lethe had an even more incomprehensible legend. legend had it that when quasi-emperor-realm experts entered the river, their souls were instantly taken away. only their bodies were left, void of any vitality, floating in the river before ultimately sinking to the bottom of the river. one could imagine how terrifying the 800-mile river lethe was. of course, some said that someone of an unknown realm seemed to have successfully crossed the river. however, after he did so, he forgot all about his past. it was as if he had forgotten everything about himself. from then on, he was muddleheaded and no one knew where he went. these were all legends related to the 800-mile river lethe. hearing them from daoist jiuji, everyone felt a chill down their spines and gasped. the terror of the 800-mile river lethe was about to be revealed to qin chen and the others. it was said that no boat could float on the river lethe. even a feather would sink to the bottom of the river if it landed on the water. their hearts were filled with apprehension as they didn¡¯t know if they would be able to cross the 800-mile river lethe. daoist jiuji wasn¡¯t sure either. although his master had mentioned these things to him, his master had never told him how to cross the 800-mile river lethe. qin chen looked into the distance and found that the sound of flowing water seemed to be coming from afar. this sound seemed to be no different from the rivers in the outside world, but it somehow made everyone tremble. this was because everyone already knew that the 88 -mile river lethe was not far from them. it was very likely that they would not be able to cross the river. rather, they might even die in the 800-mile river lethe. after all, even terrifying quasi-emperor experts couldn¡¯t cross it) so how could they? but at this point, they had no other way out. perhaps it would not take long before the withering power in their bodies would accumulate to the limit and eventually take their lives. therefore, they could only try their best now. whether they would die or live, they had to move forward, just making every possible effort. thinking of this, qin chen and the others continued to move forward. but this time, their footsteps were slow. according to daoist jiuji, the 800-mile river lethe was extremely terrifying. with their current realm, could they really cross it? how miserable would their outcome be if they couldn¡¯t? they would probably not even have the chance to reincarnate and would be trapped in death underworld mountain together. in fact, they would be even worse off than the terrifying existences in the mountain because their souls would¡¯ve been taken away by the 800-mile river lethe. even their bodies that were left behind but void of primordial spirits would sink to the bottom of the river lethe. in the past, the 800-mile river lethe wasn¡¯t in death underworld mountain. however, someone managed to bring it here with great supernormal knowledge for some unknown reason. qin chen was extremely fearful. at this moment, he saw the so-called 800-mile river lethe. the 800-mile river lethe was flowing violently. no one knew where it was flowing to. it was said that the river covered an area of 800 miles. in other words, it was impossible for them to cross it. they could only try other methods. qin chen instantly thought of something. if he tore open the void, would he be able to cross the river? unexpectedly, when he tried to do so, he couldn¡¯t even tear open space and cross the void above the 800-mile river lethe because the space here seemed to have been frozen. this made him extremely uncomfortable, leaving him at a loss for what to do. just by approaching the 800-mile river lethe, they felt a powerful gravitational force trying to pull them over. if they really got close to the river lethe, it was hard to say what would happen.. Chapter 714 - Chapter 714: A Creepy Place chapter 714: a creepy place translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen and the others arrived at the 800-mile river lethe. the 800-mile river lethe seemed to stretch on forever. to be honest, it covered far more than 800 miles. however, this had nothing to do with them. what they needed to think about now was how to cross the river lethe. the river lethe was no ordinary place. it was extremely dangerous, and its reputation was even greater than that of death underworld mountain. the river lethe in the legends only existed in the netherworld. now, this legend had become a reality, which made everyone very afraid. they didn¡¯t know if they could cross the 800-?mile river lethe. qin chen looked ahead. he wanted to get closer to the 800-mile river lethe to observe, but he realized that his mind would be affected the moment he got close. he seemed to subconsciously want to walk over. if he really did walk over, he would have no chance to return. he might just die in the 800-mile river lethe. the others didn¡¯t know what to do either. daoist jiuji frowned, his eyes filled with helplessness. although his master had told him that the 800-mile river lethe might be in death underworld mountain, he did not expect the river to be so terrifying. he had no way of crossing it. qin chen looked into the distance. there seemed to be nothing there. but at this moment, he was shocked. this was because he discovered that when his spiritual will probed over, it would be reflected by an invisible force. qin chen immediately opened his netherworld eye. a pair of illusory eyes instantly flew open between qin chen¡¯s brows. they seemed to be filled with endless mysterious light. with the help of the netherworld eye, qin chen could see far ahead. what was going on? it was as if nothing could be seen above the 800-mile river lethe when he tried to look at the bottom of the river, he could not help but be incomparably shocked because he actually saw countless terrifying skeletons there. all of them were dead without exception and had turned into piles of white bones. among them, there were even some existences similar to the ancient era¡¯s god race and divine beasts. there were also countless peerless human experts. even though their skeletons were submerged in the river lethe, they still released a faint pressure, showing the terrifying realm they had reached when they were alive. qin chen felt even more depressed. if they were to get close to the 800-mile river lethe, they might end up with the same outcome. after all, even such terrifying existences weren¡¯t able to cross the river. did they still want to go over? it was simply a fool¡¯s dream. it was impossible. still, everyone racked their brains for a solution. if qin chen had some trump cards, he should be able to attempt to cross the 800-mile river lethe. but now, he did not even have one trump card. god knows how terrifying the 800 -mile river lethe was either. the big scorpion looked at the elder king and asked, ¡°elder king, is it impossible for us to cross the river? if we can¡¯t, then forget it. we¡¯ll think of other ways to see if we can get around it.¡± qin chen shook his head and slowly said to the big scorpion, ¡°we can¡¯t cross it. god knows how long this 800-mile river lethe is, but it cuts off the middle section of death underworld mountain. no matter where we go, we will encounter the river lethe.¡± hearing this, everyone gasped. who placed the 800-mile river lethe here? the terrifying river lethe had already become a natural moat, seemingly to stop quasi-emperors from crossing over. even peerless quasi-emperor experts would tremble when faced with the river lethe since they might lose their lives. given qin chen and the others¡¯ current cultivations, they were not even qualified to fill the gaps of the river lethe. when he thought of this, qin chen felt extremely fearful and didn¡¯t know what to do. still, no matter what, he had to give it a try. he seemed to have made up his mind. immediately after, qin chen held the innate sword embryo and continued to approach the river qin chen¡¯s innate sword embryo could pierce himself, making his body stay in place at the very least, it could protect his body while waiting for the others to come to his rescue. the others did not know what to do. they could only watch helplessly as qin chen approached the 800-mile river lethe. several months had passed since qin chen and the others entered death underworld mountain. everyone, including the experts of the thousand yin holy sect and the red-robed woman, thought that they were already dead. however, qin chen and the others were still alive and well. they were even about to cross death underworld mountain. as long as they successfully did so, they would be able to survive. at that time, it would be much easier for them to take revenge on the thousand yin holy the current qin chen had already killed countless quasi-emperor-realm experts in death underworld mountain. as long as he could get out, he would most definitely be able to make a comeback. if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he didn¡¯t have enough trump cards, he wouldn¡¯t have chosen to enter death underworld mountain. after all, the dangers here were extremely terrifying. if one was not careful, they would be in danger of dying. thinking of this, qin chen let out a bitter smile. fortunately, he was about to leave death underworld mountain. he activated the piece of white paper and revealed the map. the 800-mile river lethe was also on the map. qin chen had never understood how death underworld mountain had been split into two. so it was because of the 800-mile river lethe. he didn¡¯t know how he could cross the 800-mile river lethe. he carefully approached the 800 -mile river lethe. the river lethe seemed to have a great gravitational force that kept pulling him forward. as a result, qin chen¡¯s every step was extremely arduous. on one hand, he had to use focus on resisting the gravitational force of the river lethe. on the other hand, he had to think of a way to cross the river lethe. qin chen looked ahead, but unfortunately, nothing appeared. however, he did vaguely feel that something inexplicable had appeared just now. when he looked over again, he could not see anything. he could only give up. ¡°we must cross the river. this is such a creepy place.¡± right now, qin chen only had one thought in mind, and that was to cross the river lethe.. Chapter 715 - Chapter 715: Suffering chapter 715: suffering translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio according to the legends, many experts had died in the 800-mile river lethe. in fact, even existences who were on the verge of breaking through to the ancient great emperor realm had died here. one could imagine how terrifying it was. and now, qin chen had already arrived in front of the river lethe. his face was reflected in the water of the river lethe. it made him feel as if he had been in the river lethe all along. qin chen carefully squatted and scooped a handful of water. he immediately felt a bone-piercing coldness. it made him sink into some kind of illusion. it was as if qin chen was frozen in place, unable to move an inch. his body was seemingly not under his control. ¡°what is going on?¡± to qin chen, there seemed to be a mysterious and unfathomable power within the 800-mile river lethe, given the appearance of this phenomenon. he couldn¡¯t stop the power. on the contrary, he even had the thought of jumping straight into the river lethe. however, qin chen knew that if he jumped in, he would die immediately. his primordial spirit would melt, and his body would turn into white bones that would sink to the bottom of the river lethe, becoming a part of the countless experts who had died. this was what shocked qin chen the most. this place was indeed very creepy. qin chen was currently guarding his mind, but as time passed, he could feel that the mysterious power in the river lethe was continuously trying to draw him in. if he gave in, he might not be able to survive. in the end, qin chen couldn¡¯t even sense what he was doing. it was as if he was going to enter the river lethe. this shocked everyone. the big scorpion immediately let out a furious roar, ¡°elder king! no!¡± hearing this roar, qin chen finally came to his senses. he was instantly drenched in sweat. cold sweat dripped from his forehead. this was simply the most terrifying place in the world. he had been unknowingly affected by the power of the river lethe. this was even more terrifying than daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion. daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion would make him think that what he saw was real. however, the mysterious power of the river lethe would make qin chen believe that he was in reality. these two were not on the same level, which was why qin chen felt so pressured. thinking of this, qin chen steeled his heart. he gritted his teeth and used the innate sword embryo to cut a bloody wound on his palm. instantly, intense pain was transmitted to his brain and allowed him to control himself. qin chen didn¡¯t want the terrifying river lethe to devour his will. he then looked at the surface of the river lethe. at some point, a layer of fog seemed to have risen on the surface of the river lethe. what was with the fog? as the thick fog arrived, qin chen was enveloped within. the others could no longer see his figure. it was terrifying. the big scorpion was trembling, not knowing what to do. if they were to rashly move forward now, they would likely end up like qin chen once they entered the fog. at that time, not only would they not be able to help qin chen, but they would even become his burden. at this moment, daoist jiuji¡¯s expression was also uncertain. he didn¡¯t know why such a fog had been produced. as far as he knew, this had never happened to the 800-mile river lethe before. could it be that some kind of change had occurred in the 800-mile river lethe? this was the only way to explain why there was such a thick fog. in the vast fog, qin chen could no longer tell where he was. he was at a loss for what to do now. qin chen seemed to have already accepted the reality that he didn¡¯t know how to cross the river lethe. if he couldn¡¯t get across it, perhaps it would be better if he died. in this way, he would be free of all burdens and be free forever. unknowingly, qin chen actually took another step forward. one had to know that he was already very close to the river lethe. if he took two more steps, he would fall into the rolling river lethe. at that time, no one would be able to save him. once one fell into the river lethe, one would sink. at that time, even qin chen¡¯s soul would dissipate and melt. the strange power of the river lethe was something that countless experts could do nothing about. qin chen¡¯s intuition told him that there was definitely something strange about the river. however, he had indeed currently lost the courage to continue exploring. to him, it was all thanks to luck that he could get to where he was today. if he did not have the system, he would likely be like the people in the mortal world, being oppressed day and night. perhaps he would have already gotten married and had children, spending the best time of his life. perhaps he would¡¯ve been dead and the grass on his grave probably reached three feet tall. at this point, qin chen lost all motivation. he was like a monk who had seen through the mortal world. he no longer cared about life and death. just as he was about to take another step forward, for some reason, the chaos divine ring in his primordial spirit trembled! with this, qin chen¡¯s soul trembled and his eyes widened. at this moment, he seemed to have returned to his past self. his heart was filled with lingering fear. what exactly happened? to think he had such terrifying thoughts and even wanted to walk into the river lethe. but now, he no longer had any thoughts. because he currently didn¡¯t seem to have the strength to continue. this thought was like a demon in his heart, gnawing at his heart. it made qin chen extremely exhausted as if he had schizophrenia. on one hand, he wanted to enter the river lethe and end everything once and for all. on the other hand, he wanted to continue living and resist this incomparably difficult torture. if it had been an ordinary person with an unfirm will, they would have fallen long ago. they would have taken the initiative to throw themselves into the river lethe. however, the current qin chen was in a state of constant torment and struggle. if it wasn¡¯t for the terrifying fog, he should be able to regain his normal rationality. but now, he couldn¡¯t do anything.. Chapter 716 - Chapter 716: Deep Sleep chapter 716: deep sleep translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen¡¯s teeth were about to be crushed. at this moment, he was trying to make up his mind. he must not be misled by the fog and jump into the river lethe. if he did that, it was very likely that he would not be able to survive. once he really entered the river lethe, he would die. even a god on earth would find it difficult to save him. thinking of this, he wanted to escape. he had just thought of turning around but was instantly frozen on the spot. some kind of power seemed to have unknowingly entered his body. the power did not hurt him, nor did it bring him any pain, but it intensified the struggle and torment in qin chen¡¯s heart. it wanted to make qin chen take the initiative to take another step forward and enter the river lethe. qin chen had never gone through such a terrifying experience. he was extremely clear-headed at this moment, but he couldn¡¯t control his body. it was as if two people were living in one body. what was going on? even qin chen himself couldn¡¯t tell if he was still the real him. he wanted to leave the river lethe but had now fallen into the quagmire again, losing all intention of leaving. this made qin chen feel like retreating. on the one hand, he was in awe of the unpredictable river lethe. on the other hand, he was afraid that he would really lose control and jump into the river lethe. thinking of this, qin chen frowned. at this moment, he wished that someone could save him from this place. unfortunately, there was no one behind him now. even in front of him, there was only the surging surface of the bottomless river lethe. the white fog seemed to also be tempting qin chen to step forward, so much so that he could not tell where he was. he didn¡¯t know if the river lethe was in front of him or behind him. if he made the wrong choice, he would likely end up in the wrong place and step into the river lethe. right now, qin chen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. he didn¡¯t know what to do. he bit the tip of his tongue. instantly, his mind became much clearer. he sat down cross-legged and began to lock his senses, wanting to resist the strange power of the river lethe. however, even after doing so many things, there was no way he could completely resist it. thinking of this, qin chen went crazy. he forced his soul into a deep sleep. this way, he might be able to wait for a turn of events. qin chen had been in the white fog for quite some time now. at this point, he looked as if he was about to die. the life force in his body was constantly flowing away, and at the same time, his lifespan was also decreasing. no one knew where the life force had gone. qin chen couldn¡¯t sense the slightest change in the outside world since his soul had fallen into a deep sleep. there would ultimately be one more corpse on the bank of the river lethe. when qin chen¡¯s physical body was dead, his primordial spirit would dissipate. at that time, he would be at his wit¡¯s end. in this white fog, qin chen didn¡¯t know whether he could be reincarnated if he died. time passed bit by bit, and the people in the outside world could no longer hold themselves back. unfortunately, daoist jiuji had been blocking their way, preventing them from entering the fog to find qin chen. ¡°after such a long time, something might have happened to the elder king long ago. if you don¡¯t move away, then don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡± the big scorpion was like an ant on a hot pan. he was extremely anxious. god knows how many times he had wanted to rush in and save the elder king, but unfortunately, he had been stopped by daoist jiuji. in the words of daoist jiuji, the last thing qin chen wanted to see right now was someone going in to save him. after all, even someone like qin chen, who had many trump cards, had died inside. as such, even if they entered now, what could they do? they would only end up with a one-way ticket. daoist jiuji raised his eyebrows and could not hide his anger. to think this puny god emperor-realm demon race cultivator was so impudent and arrogant in front of him. if it was anyone else, they might have been crushed to death by him. however, he could understand that everyone was acting like this because they were anxious. after all, qin chen had entered the river lethe for god knows how long now. none of them knew what had happened in the fog. ¡°the elder king¡¯s life and death are still unknown. if you insist on entering, i won¡¯t stop you. however, i want to warn you first. if you go in, you won¡¯t have the chance to come out again. similarly, if you die inside, there will be no way to save qin chen.¡± these words were powerful, and everyone was immediately enlightened. the big scorpion wasn¡¯t the only one who wanted to go in and save the elder king. the others, including the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, also wanted to enter, but they were all stopped by daoist jiuji. ¡°then tell me, what should we do now?¡± holy maiden mu xue¡¯s eyes were red. a teardrop fell onto the ground. to them, qin chen was the most important person. he had risked his life to get them here. their relationship could not be measured by any standard. if qin chen died, they might as well enter the river lethe to accompany the elder king. daoist jiuji was in a dilemma. he couldn¡¯t think of a way to save qin chen. legend had it that the 800-mile river lethe was extremely evil. as long as one entered, there would be no chance to come out. even quasi-emperor-realm experts who wanted to cross it died there and lost all news. one could imagine how dangerous qin chen¡¯s current situation was. if they couldn¡¯t come up with a solution now, perhaps qin chen would die soon, and they wouldn¡¯t even be able to find him. therefore, the big scorpion said, ¡°even if i die inside, it¡¯s my fault. it¡¯s none of your business. if i can¡¯t even see the elder king for the last time, then i might regret it for the rest of my life.¡± at this point, the big scorpion ignored daoist jiuji¡¯s obstruction and walked straight into the thick fog. this time, he was going to do everything he could to save the elder king.. Chapter 717 - Chapter 717: Rescue chapter 717: rescue translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio at this moment, daoist jiuji didn¡¯t know what to do. he did not stop the big scorpion. to be honest, he did not care about the lives of these fellows at all. he only cared about qin chen. after all, with qin chen¡¯s help, he might be able to obtain great fortune and opportunity in death underworld mountain. at that time, he would be able to complete his revenge. but now, qin chen couldn¡¯t come out. then there was no point for him to stay here. as such, he said, ¡°wait a moment.¡± the big scorpion stopped and turned to look at daoist jiuji. daoist jiuji slowly looked around at everyone and said, ¡°since qin chen is now trapped inside, maybe we really won¡¯t be able to get out forever. i can understand your feelings now. among all of us, my realm is the highest, so i¡¯ve decided to go in and take a look. only if i enter it will we have a chance to survive. after all, don¡¯t forget that death underworld mountain is a forbidden ground of the thousand yin holy sect, and i¡¯m the holy son of the thousand yin holy sect!¡± indeed, among the crowd, daoist jiuji was the one with the most authority. even without the map in qin chen¡¯s hands, he already knew about the existence of the 800-mile river lethe. perhaps he really had a chance to save the elder king. then, he walked up to the big scorpion. he let out a cold snort and kicked the latter back. ¡°junior, watch your words next time. i¡¯ve tolerated you for a long time!¡± the big scorpion and the others did not expect that daoist jiuji would personally enter to rescue the elder king. in their eyes, daoist jiuji was an extremely selfish fellow. he had no choice but to cooperate with qin chen and the others for the sake of revenge. but now, he actually took the initiative to enter the fog and rescue the elder king. this changed everyone¡¯s impression of him quite a bit. the big scorpion smashed his fist heavily on the ground. now, he could only pray that daoist jiuji could bring the elder king out. after an unknown amount of time, qin chen seemed to have turned into a corpse. all that was left was a weak heartbeat. his aura had become extremely weak. perhaps if this continued, he would maintain sitting cross-legged and sleep until he died. this was qin chen¡¯s last resort. if he didn¡¯t do this, he might not be able to hold on at all. at least now, he could buy some time and wait for a turn of events. god knows how long had passed. the people outside were also extremely anxious. daoist jiuji had entered the fog to find qin chen. at this moment, daoist jiuji was extremely vigilant. he could feel that this fog was unusual. he captured a wisp of fog and absorbed it into his body to analyze what it was. in the end, according to the analysis of daoist jiuji, this fog seemed to be just a kind of energy. it wouldn¡¯t cause him any harm, so he immediately relaxed a lot. at least from the looks of it, qin chen shouldn¡¯t have any major problems. after that, daoist jiuji continued to move forward. as he continued to move forward, the view in front of him kept changing. the fog was getting thicker and thicker as if it was a sign of great danger ahead. ¡°qin chen, where exactly are you?¡± daoist jiuji was moving forward. he didn¡¯t know if he was heading in the wrong direction. the visibility was very low in the fog. it was as if he had already left death underworld mountain. if he was not careful, he would lose his way. now, he could only brace himself and continue walking forward. however, what daoist jiuji didn¡¯t realize was that he was actually spinning in circles on the spot. after walking for more than an hour, daoist jiuji finally realized that something was wrong. logically speaking, he should have already arrived in front of the 800-mile river lethe. yet, he didn¡¯t hear the sound of water at all. what was going on? could it be that he had already lost his way and walked to another place? if that were the case, it would be extremely terrifying because qin chen should be not far ahead. there wasn¡¯t much distance between them and the river lethe. if he lost his bearings and went somewhere else, it was very likely that he would miss qin chen. at the thought of this, daoist jiuji¡¯s heart was filled with fear. then, he frantically racked his brain for a solution. what should he do? the thick fog that rose from the 800-mile river lethe was something he had never heard his master mention before. in the legends, such a phenomenon had never happened in the river lethe either. what should he do now to find qin chen? daoist jiuji didn¡¯t know either. he immediately tried all kinds of methods. fortunately, it didn¡¯t take too long for him to find a way to pass through the fog. at this moment, he had condensed many illusions. the illusions seemed to be able to sense the power in the white fog and became even stronger. with so many illusions, daoist jiuji regained a sense of direction. he did not dare to stop for even a moment. he walked straight forward and released more illusions to determine his coordinates. with this, he would be able to find the river lethe. following the river lethe, he should be able to find qin chen. daoist jiuji could not help but feel extremely horrified because he had almost lost his way before he even got close to the 800-mile river lethe. he would¡¯ve been trapped here forever, unable to leave. one could imagine just how terrifying the river lethe was. to think they had even wanted to cross it. now it seemed extremely laughable. let alone them, even real quasi-emperor-realm experts could only die in the river lethe. who were they? to think they overestimated themselves and wanted to cross the river lethe. with this thought in mind, daoist jiuji smiled bitterly. it seemed like the only way left was to wait for death in death underworld mountain. thinking of this, daoist jiuji¡¯s mind was in turmoil. then, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him. could that be the elder king? he wasn¡¯t sure either, so he hurriedly moved forward. at this moment, the countless illusions behind daoist jiuji had also become extremely powerful. he did not notice this.. Chapter 718 - Chapter 718: Illusions’ Mutation chapter 718: illusions¡¯ mutation translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio even daoist jiuji himself did not expect and realize that the illusion furthest away from him had already escaped his control. it seemed to have given birth to consciousness. one had to know that this was extremely terrifying. if this was the case, daiust jiuji might die. this was because if he could not resist the terrifying illusion, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be. yet, daoist jiuji didn¡¯t notice this problem at all. instead, he accelerated and rushed towards the figure. at this moment, he heard the sound of flowing water. it seemed to be coming from the figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. this made daoist jiuji even more certain that the figure should be qin chen! as daoist juji continued to move forward, it did not take long for him to arrive in front of the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. after daoist jiuji confirmed that the figure was indeed qin chen, only then did he realize that the latter seemed to have fallen asleep. at this moment, daoist jiuji didn¡¯t dare to look ahead, because he knew that the legendary and terrifying river lethe was right in front! he then lifted qin chen and ran back the way he came. what he needed to do now was to escape. otherwise, if anything unusual happened in the river lethe, it was very likely that he would not be able to leave alive. at that time, not only would he have failed to save qin chen, but he would even lose his life. when he thought of this, daoist jiuji¡¯s heart pounded wildly as if some danger was approaching. this was a special ability of premonition that came from him cultivating to level 9 of the god venerable realm. if no danger could threaten his life, he would never have such a feeling. but now, he had no choice but to run back the way he came without looking back. at this moment, everyone was extremely anxious. they didn¡¯t know how daoist jiuji was doing. it had been quite some time since he had entered the fog to rescue qin chen. if this continued and daoist jiuji didn¡¯t come out soon, they would have no choice but to go in and rescue qin chen themselves. daoist jiuji didn¡¯t realize that some of the illusions he had condensed already had consciousness and were even moving. they seemed to be wandering in this vast fog. god knows how many illusions daoist jiuji had produced in the boundless fog. this was because condensing the illusions did not require him to expend too much of his strength. therefore, daoist jiuji kept doing so to confirm whether his position was correct. right now, he was carrying qin chen on his back as he continued to run. at this moment, he did not know how far he had run. he only knew that the direction ahead should be the way out. he no longer heard the sound of running water, which meant he should be far away from the river lethe. he thought that the danger was slowly decreasing, but unexpectedly, among the illusions he condensed not far away, an illusion was making a strange movement. it turned around and looked at daoist jiuji. daoist jiuji instantly sensed that something was wrong. if he didn¡¯t give the order, how could that illusion move on its own? this was definitely not an illusion that he had condensed. however, when he sensed the familiar aura of the illusion and realized that it was indeed one he had condensed, he was extremely shocked! ¡°is this my f*cking illusion?¡± he was at a loss for words. this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing. to think an illusion he condensed seemed to have escaped his control and transformed into an independent being. it was like a bolt from the blue and made daoist jiuji feel very uncomfortable. he didn¡¯t know what to say and his face turned extremely pale. to think he did not notice that his illusion had already undergone such a change. then, he looked into the distance where there were countless other illusions. perhaps all of them had mutated. indeed, in this vast fog, the fact that he could condense illusions was problematic enough. still, he didn¡¯t expect that the illusions could move on will. the illusion seemed to want to attack daoist jiuji. how could daoist jiuji endure this? it felt as if the son he had raised had turned against him. daoist jiuji found this unacceptable. he immediately commanded the other illusions that had not mutated to attack the one that had mutated. once the illusion had consciousness, it would become even more agile. although daoist jiuji could control a large number of illusions, he was unable to effectively deal any damage to the mutated illusion. some illusions were even torn apart by the illusions that had mutated. daoist jiuji was incomparably furious. while carrying qin chen on his back, he attacked decisively. a wooden spear appeared in his hand and he threw it forward. almost instantly, the terrifying wooden spear pierced through the illusion that had already developed consciousness. in an instant, the illusion turned into nothingness as if it had never appeared. this finally calmed daoist jiuji down. however, when he looked ahead again, he discovered that most of the illusions he had produced earlier had already developed consciousness. and now, his actions had undoubtedly triggered those illusions. there was no other way. daoist jiuji gulped and looked at the countless illusions that he had condensed and developed self-consciousness. when the overwhelming tide of illusions charged towards him, he roared angrily and condensed an illusion again to block the tide. he did not believe that these illusions could rebel against him. daoist jiuji let out a furious roar, sending out a signal to attack the countless illusions that had developed consciousness. a great battle between the illusions erupted at this moment. qin chen, who was on daoist jiuji¡¯s back, could seemingly sense what was going on. although he was in a deep sleep, he could still be affected by the outside world.. Chapter 719 - Chapter 719: Rescuing the Elder King chapter 719: rescuing the elder king translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio if someone used an extremely powerful fluctuation to shake qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit, he could still wake up. after all, this was his instinct. but now, qin chen was somewhat fearful. his primordial spirit could feel an extremely fatal fluctuation, but he did not know where it came from. logically speaking, he should be safe and sound now. could it be that something had changed in the outside world? daoist jiuji was already trembling with fear at this point. this was because he realized that no matter how many illusions he condensed, they would slowly transform into those illusions with consciousness. at that time, he would probably not be able to resist at all. he was currently simply creating enemies for himself. ¡°damn it!¡± even daoist jiuji felt great pressure. the white fog was too terrifying. right now, only by escaping with all his might would he have a chance of survival. in the past, he had scoffed at the thought of escaping. in his opinion, it was useless to cultivate those extremely fast movement techniques because he had illusions. he could simply condense different illusions to hide his whereabouts. however, now he realized how stupid he was back then. daoist jiuji pushed his speed to the limit, but there were still quite several mutated illusions chasing after him. as long as he could escape, he should be able to survive the vast white fog. at this moment, daoist jiuji was carrying qin chen on his back as he continued to move forward. he was already going all out, even burning his blood essence. his speed instantly soared. the void began to shatter faintly because he was a level 9 god venerable-realm expert, to begin with. now that he was using his full strength, his speed had increased by another level. it was unknown how long it took before he finally came out of the white fog in a sorry state. everyone saw daoist jiuji carrying qin chen and rushing out of the fog. their faces couldn¡¯t help but reveal joy. they didn¡¯t expect daoist jiuji to really manage to save the elder king. one had to know that daoist jiuji was far from being as powerful as the elder king. even the elder king had fallen in the white fog. yet, daoist jiuji could actually escape when the elder king couldn¡¯t. what made everyone even more surprised was that the illusions that originally belonged to daoist jiuji were now chasing after him. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± the big scorpion was shocked beyond words. he couldn¡¯t comprehend what he was seeing. if those illusions belonged to daoist jiuji, why were they chasing after him instead after just a while in the white fog? this was simply beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. daoist jiuji didn¡¯t have the time to explain to the crowd why. ¡°save me!¡± daoist jiuji, who was carrying qin chen on his back, didn¡¯t slow down at all and charged at the crowd at his fastest speed. everyone¡¯s heart was pounding with fear because they could sense how terrifying the illusions condensed by daoist jiuji were. at this point, they could only try. only after he finally arrived in front of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast did daoist jiuji stop and place the elder king down, panting heavily. then, he lay flat on the ground. the true dragon and the flame-wing beast immediately asked daoist jiuji, ¡°what is going on?¡± they didn¡¯t expect that even the illusions condensed by daoist jiuji himself could not help him resist the terrifying mutated illusions. rather, the former were even hunted down. everyone could see that the mutated illusions seemed to have consciousness. they simply could not imagine what kind of changes had happened in the white fog. daoist jiuji said concisely, ¡°it¡¯s a long story. let¡¯s get rid of these illusions first.¡± after saying that, the illusions that chased out from the white fog were all exposed in front of everyone. they consisted of a huge number and were like a tidal wave. no one knew how many illusions daoist jiuji had condensed. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were on guard, ready to attack at any time. they were experts in the god venerable realm. although they were far from being as powerful as daoist jiuji, they were not afraid in the slightest when faced with mutated illusions. following this, daoist jiuji immediately sensed something. he seemed to be able to connect with those illusions again. as long as the illusions were out of the white fog, they would listen to his orders again. at this moment, everyone was ready to make their move. unexpectedly, they saw that daoist jiuji simply waved his hand, and the countless illusions charging over turned into nothingness as if they had never appeared. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon didn¡¯t know what to say. they had originally thought that there would be a fierce battle. they did not expect that daoist jiuji could deal with it himself. there was a big problem with that white fog. hearing daoist jiuji recount everything he had experienced, everyone gasped. they felt extremely horrified. if they had been there, they might have already died. who would have thought that even daoist jiuji¡¯s illusions would betray him? they must have been affected by the white fog. otherwise, this situation wouldn¡¯t have happened. thinking of this, everyone looked at qin chen who was lying on the ground. the elder king had yet to wake up. however, they could tell that the elder king should not have suffered any injuries. as long as he was not injured, there should not be much of a problem. immediately after, daoist jiuji woke qin chen up. qin chen woke up. the moment he opened his eyes, he felt quite confused. shouldn¡¯t he be in the white fog? how did he suddenly appear in front of everyone? could it be that someone had saved him? one had to know that there seemed to be a mysterious power in the white fog that disturbed his mind. he almost killed himself and jumped into the 800-mile river of lethe. after qin chen woke up, he finally understood what had happened. unexpectedly, it was daoist jiuji who had brought him out. if it wasn¡¯t for daoist jiuji, perhaps he would have already died.. Chapter 720 - Chapter 720: The Rotten Shadow chapter 720: the rotten shadow translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio it was still alright now. at least qin chen had successfully survived. originally, he thought that he would die in there. after all, no one should have the confidence to bring him out of the white fog. ¡°that thick fog actually made your illusions not listen to your orders and even produce consciousness?¡± this was what shocked qin chen. in comparison, the dangers they had experienced before seemed like nothing. that fog was truly evil, causing qin chen to feel despair. in the end, he had no choice but to force his soul into a deep sleep. he was helpless. right now, qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t think of any way to cross the 800-mile river lethe. however, after daoist jiuji spoke, qin chen saw hope again. ¡°if it¡¯s within a short time, i can still form illusions and use them as coordinates.¡± as long as a safe return could be guaranteed, qin chen was willing to try again to see what dangers the river lethe contained. only when he truly came into contact with the river lethe would he know what to do. otherwise, they would be like now, headless chickens. hearing qin chen¡¯s words, everyone nodded. this time, qin chen decided to enter again, but he didn¡¯t bring anyone else with him except for daoist jiuji. this was because other than daoist jiuji, the big scorpion and the others could not help him at all. they might even become a burden. the remaining people nodded in agreement. they weren¡¯t strong enough, after all. at this moment, qin chen had recovered from his injuries and replenished the vitality that he had lost. he also realized that the natural treasures he had seemed to be somewhat insufficient. at this point, they could only seize the time and try to find a way to cross the 800-mile river lethe. this was the only way to survive. thinking of this, qin chen joined hands with daoist jiuji and stepped into the white fog. by now, daoist jiuji had learned his lesson. when he condensed the illusions, he deliberately held back his power. this made the current illusions extremely weak, so weak that even the god emperor-realm big scorpion could easily destroy them. with this, no matter how many illusions were condensed, qin chen and daoist jiuji would be able to easily destroy them when they formed consciousness. ¡°my illusions should not last more than four hours. once four hours have passed, the first illusion that i have condensed will have a chance of forming consciousness within the white fog.¡± with this, qin chen understood that in four hours, no matter if they had found a way to cross the 800-mile river lethe, they could only leave and return first. otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. he nodded to daoist jiuji and the latter condensed another illusion. in the white fog, his connection with the illusions was constantly weakening. when the connection was completely weakened and ultimately disappeared, the illusions condensed by daoist jiuji would then have independent consciousness. even daoist jiuji, who was only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm, had never heard of such a strange fog. at this point, qin chen had reached the bank of the river lethe with daoist jiuji. hearing the sound of flowing water once again, daoist jiuji felt quite fearful. on the other hand, qin chen was much calmer. after all, with the previous experience, he knew that as long as there was there was someone else with him, the other party could probably stop him from falling into that desperate struggle in time. this way, the fog could not affect his mind. thinking of this, qin chen spoke, ¡°wait for me first. don¡¯t come near. if i do anything, remember to stop me.¡± daoist jiuji nodded at qin chen. he knew that the latter was in an extremely dangerous situation now. if it really came to that, he would stop qin chen and knock him out before bringing him out no matter what. after all, the 800-mile river lethe was very notorious. quasi-emperor-realm experts once tried to cross it, but they died and were never heard of again. in contrast, the two of them had not even touched the threshold of the quasi-emperor realm. their action of coming over now was simply like a sheep entering a tiger¡¯s mouth, sending themselves to death¡¯s door. however, there was no other way. at this point, even qin chen couldn¡¯t find a way to cross the 800-mile river lethe. as such, he could only continue to explore, hoping to find some opportunities on the surface of the river lethe. qin chen let out a heavy breath. he took a step forward and approached the river lethe. once again, he came near the surface of the water. looking at his reflection, he could not help but feel fear. last time, he almost fell into the trap and take the initiative to enter the river lethe. this time, with daoist jiuji behind him, it gave qin chen a greater sense of security. as a result, he actually took the initiative to put his hand into the river lethe. it was also at this moment that qin chen was suddenly shocked because he felt that a pair of hands seemed to have grabbed him. ¡°not good!¡± qin chen looked into the river lethe and saw that a pair of black hands had grabbed his wrists. moreover, the hands were rotten as if they had been underwater for an unknown time. qin chen had never encountered such a strange scene before. something must have happened under the river lethe. he was now extremely shocked, and his scalp went numb. anyone would be terrified if they were suddenly grabbed by a pair of terrifying hands. still, qin chen was calmer now. he took out the innate sword embryo, wanting to cut the pair of rotten hands. upon seeing qin chen¡¯s strange actions, daoist jiuji hurried forward to rescue him, wanting to pull him back from the bank. he was afraid that qin chen would jump into the river lethe. if that happened, even he wouldn¡¯t dare to save the latter. ¡°don¡¯t come over. i should be able to handle it.¡± hearing this, daoist jiuji¡¯s heart settled down. at least, qin chen was still in a relatively clear-headed state. since the other party had already spoken, he did not have to make a move. Chapter 721 - Chapter 721: The Way to Leave chapter 721: the way to leave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen had once used the netherworld eye to see the corpses of countless experts at the bottom of the river lethe. most of them had already turned into white bones. but now, his hands were being grabbed by a pair of rotten hands. did the hands¡¯ owner live under the river lethe? shouldn¡¯t such a creature have died long ago? those who could fall into the river lethe were definitely experts with great backgrounds. the quasi-emperor realm was already the lowest standard. with the innate sword embryo in hand, qin chen slashed at the rotten hands that were grabbing his other hand. he cut the other party¡¯s hands, making it so that they could no longer hold onto him. qin chen was quite fearful. he was afraid that the owner of the rotten hands might be so powerful that he would be dragged into the river lethe. if that happened, he wouldn¡¯t even have the time to scream, let alone escape. thinking of this, qin chen felt fear and was at a loss for what to do. he had already put everything at stake. kill! he roared in anger, then held the innate sword embryo and activated it. the divine power in his body surged wildly, reviving the innate sword embryo! the terrifying pressure of an extreme emperor weapon erupted. then, qin chen slashed down. the innate sword embryo slashed into the water, but unexpectedly, the water of the 800-mile river lethe split on its own. it seemed to be resisting the fluctuations of qin chen¡¯s extreme emperor weapon. this was, after all, the weapon of an ancient great emperor and was extremely terrifying. even qin chen couldn¡¯t fully unleash the power of the extreme emperor weapon. qin chen slashed down with the sword and the terrifying sword energy slashed at the pair of rotten hands, almost cutting them off. only a bit of flesh was left, connecting the palms to the arms. immediately, the black shadow felt pain and let go of qin chen¡¯s wrist. otherwise, qin chen really didn¡¯t know what would happen next. fortunately, the black shadow had already taken the initiative to let go. qin chen then looked down into the river lethe. he wanted to find out where the black shadow had hidden, but he could not see anything. it was as if it had never appeared. this caused him to be extremely apprehensive. he had never thought that such a strange thing would happen under the 800-mile river lethe. it made him feel quite uncomfortable. he then looked at the bottom of the river lethe. with the help of the netherworld eyes, he could see the bones of countless peerless experts at the bottom of the river. countless experts had died here. one could imagine how terrifying the river was. as such, qin chen only dared to touch the water with his hands and didn¡¯t dare to jump into it, afraid that he would die if he fell into it. after all, even those terrifying beings had died here, let alone an ordinary god emperor-realm cultivator like him. thinking of this, qin chen began to investigate how he should cross the 800-mile river lethe. only by doing so could he truly survive. everyone was also waiting anxiously, wondering how elder king and daoist jiuji were doing. at this moment, qin chen took out an ordinary magic item and placed it into the water of the 800-mile river lethe. he discovered that after about two hours, the material of the magic item began to undergo a subtle change. not long after, it decayed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. in the end, there was nothing left! one must not stay in the river lethe for too long. if they did, they would end up like those peerless experts, only leaving behind piles of bones. when qin chen thought about how he had dared to touch the water of the river lethe with his hands, he felt lucky. fortunately, nothing had happened to him. the river lethe was a no-mans land. if qin chen dared to enter, he would certainly die. he almost understood the situation now. he took out the innate sword embryo and placed it in the water of the river lethe. there seemed to be some kind of mysterious power in the water of the river lethe. it seemed to be able to sense danger and thus rejected the innate sword embryo, splitting the water and leaving space for it. qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. could it be that the innate sword embryo was the nemesis of the river lethe? it was a pity that he didn¡¯t take the extreme emperor weapons left behind by the other ancient great emperors. otherwise, with those other extreme emperor weapons, he might¡¯ve been able to cross the river lethe more easily. qin chen poured his divine power into the innate sword embryo. in an instant, the innate sword embryo expanded and transformed into a flying sword, emitting a terrifying extreme emperor might. with that, a long path was carved out on the surface of the river lethe. the water of the river lethe had almost split apart. in this way, qin chen could then cross the river easily. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. it turned out that the way to cross the river was so simple. he immediately turned around and said to daoist jiuji, ¡°let¡¯s go. let¡¯s go back.¡± daoist jiuji said in disbelief, ¡°could it be that you¡¯ve already found a way?¡± as qin chen nodded, daoist jiuji was truly shocked. one should know that even quasi-emperor-realm experts had been helpless when faced with the 800-mile river lethe. they could ultimately only die. he had never thought that a god emperor like qin chen would actually have the ability to cross the river. this was an incredible piece of news! daoist jiuji immediately brought qin chen back to where they came from. in this vast fog, qin chen followed daoist jiuji back according to the coordinates left behind by the illusions. with those illusions as the coordinates, they were able to travel without any obstacles and return very quickly. this was because even the earliest batch of illusions that were condensed did not have enough time to develop consciousness. daoist jiuji easily dismissed them. he waved his hand and the illusions turned into nothingness. at this point, qin chen and daoist jiuji arrived in front of everyone. the big scorpion didn¡¯t see any worry on qin chen¡¯s face. instead, the latter¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. he immediately asked, ¡°elder king, could it be that you have already found a way to cross the river lethe?¡± qin chen looked at everyone and nodded, ¡°yes.¡± everyone immediately was bewildered.. Chapter 722 - Chapter 722: Crossing the River chapter 722: crossing the river translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio how was this possible? the elder king had found a way in such a short time? still, they believed him. qin chen would never lie. as such, there really might be a way to cross the 800-mile river lethe now. the true dragon and the big scorpion looked at each other in surprise. the flame-wing beast was getting increasingly excited as it looked at qin chen. the elder king was becoming more and more secretive, making it even more difficult for them to see through him. the reason why the flame-wing beast followed qin chen was that the latter had many secrets. every single one of those secrets was extremely terrifying. during the period that it had followed qin chen, it had continuously broken through. now, it had already reached the god venerable realm. one had to know that in the outside world, one could be invincible in the absence of quasi-emperors if one broke through to the god venerable realm! if the flame-wing beast didn¡¯t encounter a quasi-emperor, it wouldn¡¯t ever be injured. thinking of this, the flame-wing beast grew excited. everyone felt the same as the flame-wing beast. they knew that the latter was extremely powerful, and it was all thanks to qin chen. at the same time, they also gained a lot of benefits from following qin chen. every time he obtained a great fortune, he was never stingy and would share it with them. it was also because of this that their strength grew so quickly. if this continued, it was hard to say whether they would have the potential to step into the quasi-emperor realm. in the past, they had never dared to even look at a quasi-emperor. but now, after such a long time, the number of quasi-emperors killed by qin chen was already a terrifying figure. even quasi-emperor-realm experts were just alright in front of qin chen because the latter had many trump cards, and each of them could kill a quasi-emperor-realm expert. originally, when they were forced to enter death underworld mountain, everyone had quite a bit of doubt in their hearts. if qin chen had a powerful trump card, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to fear those elders of the thousand yin holy sect. he could easily take care of them. but at that time, he had chosen to bring everyone into death underworld mountain when they didn¡¯t know how dangerous the mountain was. now that they thought about it, the dangers were nothing at all, because qin chen had practically brought them along with him and they survived every danger. presumably, he wanted to seize the great fortune in death underworld mountain. only this could explain his choice. ¡°let¡¯s go cross the river!¡± with qin chen¡¯s order, everyone immediately followed him. even daoist jiuji didn¡¯t know what method qin chen had to cross the 800-mile of river lethe. in his opinion, this 800 -mile of river lethe was incomparably terrifying. he wondered what method the other party had chosen. after some time, they were very close to the river now. qin chen smiled and looked at the terrifying white fog. then, he warned everyone to be careful. ¡°everyone, be careful and pay attention to your condition.¡± the reason why qin chen gave such a reminder was that although the white fog did not have any life-endangering danger, it contained some kind of demonic power that could affect people¡¯s minds. it could even make the illusions condensed by daoist jiuji produce consciousness. from the looks of it, the 800-mile river lethe was really problematic. the white fog seemed to be even thicker than before, giving off a bone-chilling feeling. not long after, qin chen brought everyone to the river lethe. he looked at the bottom of the river lethe again and found that the bones of those peerless experts were still there. he was quite apprehensive because his wrist had been grabbed by a pair of rotten hands before. god knows if that black shadow would appear again. as such, he needed to be alert now while hurrying up and preparing to cross the river. immediately after, qin chen took the innate sword embryo out and infused his divine power into the extreme emperor weapon. in an instant, the extreme emperor weapon was revived, and a powerful fluctuation erupted, shocking everyone. when everyone saw the innate sword embryo transform into a huge sword, they could not help but become excited. could it be that the elder king was going to use the innate sword embryo to send them to the other side? qin chen immediately ordered everyone to jump onto the sword. then, the water of the 800-mile river lethe automatically split apart, leaving a path for everyone to pass through. before this, they hadn¡¯t realized what was going on. but now, they finally understood. so it turned out that as long as there was a weapon or treasure with the aura of an ancient great emperor, it could make the water of the river lethe retreat. qin chen and his group flew on the giant sword with incomparable ease, but still, they worried that something unexpected would happen. after all, under the terrifying reputation of the 800-mile river lethe, there would surely be terrifying situations. the river lethe¡¯s reputation was most certainly not groundless. one must know that countless quasi-emperor-realm experts had failed to cross the river lethe. as such, qin chen and the others had no choice but to be vigilant. after all, this concerned their lives. it was also at this moment that qin chen finally discovered something. many black shadows suddenly appeared from the river lethe below them. the black shadows were, without exception, carrying the aura of decay. they were like dead spirits as they pounced toward everyone. to the black shadows, the ancient great emperor aura exuded by the giant sword that was carrying qin chen made them like sharks that had smelled the blood of fish. they immediately threw themselves at qin chen and the others, wanting to get them down from the sword. qin chen was incomparably fearful. he immediately turned to daoist jiuji, the true dragon, and the flame-wing beast, ordering them to attack. they could not let those black shadows get close to them. if the other party was allowed to get close, it would be hard to say what would happen. after all, those who died in the river lethe were all peerless experts and these black shadows were most likely related to those experts¡¯ deaths. therefore, they were in extreme danger now. there was no room for error. daoist jiuji immediately condensed countless wooden spears in his hands and struck at the black shadows that were flying over. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon also unleashed their divine might, unleashing endless rules in an attempt to kill the black shadows. unfortunately, the black shadows were very powerful.. although they were faced with incomparably terrifying attacks, they managed to withstand them! Chapter 723 - Chapter 723: Mansion chapter 723: mansion translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the black shadows weren¡¯t ordinary existences. it was impossible for qin chen and the others to kill them. they could only blast them down so that they wouldn¡¯t be injured. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. the black shadows were smashed down with a huge impact. the current innate sword embryo was also very terrifying. it would not give them the chance to get close. an extremely terrifying extreme emperor might was released. although the black shadows were afraid, they still charged forward without fear of death. most of the black shadows couldn¡¯t keep up with the speed of the giant sword. they could only watch as qin chen and the others left. after all, the innate sword embryo was an extreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. its speed was extremely terrifying. it pierced through the void and left with a whoosh, like a shooting star! qin chen and the others felt lingering fear. if they had been caught and stalled by those black shadows, it was very likely that they would never be able to escape and would be buried at the bottom of the river lethe. thinking of this, qin chen¡¯s heart trembled. at this point, they had already crossed the 800-mile river lethe. the moment they landed on the other side, qin chen and the others were still in disbelief. to think they had made it through. the river lethe where even peerless quasi-emperor-realm experts died. they were really lucky to be able to survive. qin chen and the others immediately began to investigate the surroundings, in case there were any terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences. ¡°we finally made it!¡± the big scorpion trembled. he could not believe that he had really survived. encountering such a terrifying existence made him feel as if he was about to die. without qin chen, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cross the river and would have died in the river lethe. the others were also extremely excited. they took quite some time to finally calm down. daoist jiuji was the most excited. since they have managed to cross the river, they would only need to cover a short distance to be able to fully cross death underworld mountain! at the same time, it also meant that they were not far from great fortune and opportunity in death underworld mountain. it would likely not be long before they would see the great fortune and opportunity in death underworld mountain. at that time, daoist jiuji would have the highest chance of becoming a quasi-emperor-realm expert. if that happened, he would then have the capital to go back and take revenge! thinking of this, daoist jiuji looked at qin chen. in his eyes, the latter had many secrets. as long as he followed the other party, nothing big would happen. on the contrary, he would be able to get what he wanted smoothly. however, qin chen currently didn¡¯t have any trump cards left. if they encountered a quasi-emperor-realm expert, death would be their outcome. they couldn¡¯t fight at all before the other party crushed them like they were ants. fortunately, there didn¡¯t seem to be any terrifying existences in the surroundings. qin chen immediately decided to lead everyone away and explore the distance. with that, he took out the piece of white paper and activated it, revealing the map inside. everyone could see countless small dots on the map as if there was something in front of them. thinking of this, qin chen was cautious. ¡°is there danger ahead?¡± daoist jiuji had no idea what kind of terrifying existences existed in death underworld mountain. after all, even now, this place was extremely terrifying to them. they would still likely lose their lives. even though they had successfully crossed the 800-mile river lethe, there was still quite a bit of danger if they really wanted to survive. nobody knew if qin chen had any trump cards that he hadn¡¯t used yet. if he had no more trump cards and they encountered a quasi-emperor, they would not be able to resist. thinking of this, they began to pray while looking at qin chen, hoping that he had more trump cards that could support them. qin chen let out a heavy breath. he didn¡¯t know what the black dots on the map represented either. looking at the map, they realized that the front was covered with black spots. as for what the black spots represented, they could only find out after going over and taking a look themselves. following this, qin chen asked everyone to stay where they were and brought the daoist jiuji to scout ahead. at least if they encountered any danger, they wouldn¡¯t be completely wiped out. when they reached the front, qin chen and daoist jiuji stopped in their tracks carefully. they did not dare to be careless at all and only inched forward slowly. in the end, they saw a building. it was a quaint mansion, seemingly the residence of an ordinary family. there was nothing unusual about it. it was impossible for such a thing to exist in death underworld mountain. qin chen¡¯s eyes widened. there might be a terrifying existence in those buildings. they had to be careful. ¡°i¡¯ll go take a look first.¡± without needing qin chen to say anything, daoist jiuji knew what to do. he condensed an illusion and used it probed ahead. if it encountered any danger, the illusion would notice the change at the first moment. at that time, he would know as well. qin chen nodded, watching daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion move forward. daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion did not seem to encounter any danger and went straight to the antique mansion. the mansion wasn¡¯t the only building here. there was also a huge group of other buildings. countless pavilions rose from the ground. in the eyes of qin chen and daoist jiuji, it was exceptionally shocking. daoist jiuji controlled the illusion he had condensed to move forward carefully. the illusion arrived in front of a mansion. at this point, daoist jiuji seemed to have sensed that there seemed to be no fluctuations within the mansion, which meant there shouldn¡¯t be any danger. as such, he controlled the illusion to push the door open. inside, dust was everywhere as if countless years had passed. however, qin chen and daoist jiuji also knew that this was definitely no ordinary mansion. after all, logically speaking, an ordinary mansion would have long since been corroded by the power of time here. how could it still remain the same until now? therefore, the mansion was definitely made of mysterious and unfathomable material that was likely to be extremely rare. slowly, daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion walked into it.. Chapter 724 - Chapter 724: Primordial Dragon Godfiend Bone Stele chapter 724: primordial dragon godfiend bone stele translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after daoist jiuji¡¯s illusion entered the mansion, they realized that there was nothing in the mansions. thinking of this, daoist jiuji felt helpless. this meant that it was basically impossible to find any great fortune or opportunity in the mansions. then, he looked at qin chen. ¡°there shouldn¡¯t be any danger inside.¡± qin chen nodded after hearing daoist jiuji¡¯s words. he brought daoist jiuji back before bringing the big scorpion and the others over. since there was no danger ahead, they did not have to worry. qin chen moved forward. after some time, they finally arrived at the mansions ahead. daoist jiuji, who was behind qin chen, was constantly condensing illusions. the illusions charged forward, wanting to investigate all the mansions to see if there was any danger. fortunately, nothing happened to the illusions, which meant the mansions should be relatively safe. following this, qin chen and the others entered the largest mansion. they then looked at the center where something that looked like a stone plate was placed. qin chen didn¡¯t know what the stone plate was, but he immediately felt excited because a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation was being emitted. previously, he hadn¡¯t sensed it due to the concealment of the mansion. but now, he could feel the powerful divinity fluctuation being emitted. qin chen walked forward. fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. there were only the residual waves of powerful divinity originating from the stone plate-like thing. looking at the stone plate, there seemed to be some kind of words on it. qin chen could not see them clearly because the words on the stone plates were relatively old and seemed to have been eroded by time after god knows how many years, becoming quite vague. fortunately, as long as the stone plate still had powerful divinity remnants, qin chen could use the system to check in and obtain a trump card. immediately, the system¡¯s voice echoed in his ears. [ding, dong!] [weak divinity remnants have been found here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] originally, qin chen didn¡¯t expect in encountering anything here that could increase his strength and allow him to survive. he did not expect to find powerful divinity remnants here. god knows what this stone plate was. to think a terrifying existence had left traces of their aura here. qin chen muttered the words ¡°check in¡± in his heart, and the system¡¯s voice sounded again in his mind. [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in to the primordial dao stone. you have received the reward of the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele.] [primordial dragon godfiend bone stele: refined by a terrifying ancient great emperor, it is a one-time consumable item. it contains a phantom of a godfiend, which can unleash the combat strength of a quasi-emperor. even the strongest among quasi-emperors will be killed instantly.] qin chen¡¯s heart was instantly shaken. he had never thought that he could obtain such a good trump card from checking in here. to him, this was a chance of survival. with this, he would be able to survive. then, a jade-like bone appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. the bone emitted a terrifying aura as if there was something extraordinary inside. one must know that this terrifying white bone was qin chen¡¯s current greatest reliance. to think it could kill the strongest quasi-emperors. if this was the case, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid even if he encountered any terrifying existences. after all, the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele was his greatest source of confidence. following this, qin chen put the white bone in his hand away. after placing it into his storage ring, he once again looked around. he wondered if there were anv great fortunes or 0ddortunities in the surroundings. as long as he could find those great fortunes and opportunities, he would be able to become even stronger. since there were no terrifying existences here, there should be other opportunities besides this stone plate made of unknown material. thinking of this, qin chen had everyone split up to search. the result was out of qin chen¡¯s expectations. when they searched in the largest mansion, they did find something. unfortunately, most of them were cultivation techniques and the sort, which were not of much help to qin chen. after all, what he cultivated were top-notch techniques passed down by ancient great emperors, such as the chaotic imperial sutra. those techniques were all priceless treasures. compared to the cultivation techniques here, they were more than a grade higher. thinking of this, qin chen hurriedly continued his search to see if there were any other treasures. however, after he did so, he discovered that there were no treasures at all. this made qin chen feel extremely depressed. he didn¡¯t know what to say. immediately, everyone hurriedly brought qin chen to look for other things. in the end, there was nothing around. qin chen was at a loss for words. still, he had obtained a great opportunity. at the very least, he had managed to find a trump card that could fight against terrifying quasi-emperors. thinking of this, qin chen felt a little comforted. it was not in vain that he had risked his life to make it here. qin chen then led the group out of the largest mansion, searching the smaller mansions, hoping to find something. ultimately, there was not even a strand of hair left. the mansions seemed to have been emptied. qin chen thus led the group away. after all, they couldn¡¯t stay here forever. there wasn¡¯t much time left for them. at this moment, he could feel the withering power of death underworld mountain invading his body. it was growing stronger and stronger. perhaps it would not be long before they would no longer have any chance. thinking of this, qin chen hurriedly led everyone forward. at least now, he had a trump card to challenge a terrifying existence and wouldn¡¯t have to worry about dying. qin chen advanced and everyone followed him, not daring to take even half a step away. daoist jiuji noticed that qin chen had taken out a bone shard. he was incomparably shocked by its terrifying aura.. Chapter 725 - Chapter 725: Great Battle chapter 725: great battle translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio at the very least, the current qin chen had some confidence in surviving, and he wanted to let daoist jiuji know that he had a trump card. following this, qin chen led the group forward. they left the mansions and arrived at another place constructed of huge rocks. qin chen discovered from the map that the place with the giant rocks was also a definite path they had to take. it was impossible to bypass. the only thing they didn¡¯t know was whether there would be a terrifying existence here. qin chen could only move forward cautiously. he warned everyone to be extremely careful. otherwise, he might not be able to save everyone in time. everyone nodded. then, they extended their spiritual wills and scanned their surroundings to prevent the sudden appearance of a terrifying existence. qin chen led everyone forward. god knows how far they had walked before he finally felt his heart palpitate. a terrifying fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of him. unexpectedly, a figure as huge as a mountain appeared. the other party¡¯s body was emitting a terrifying pressure that made it difficult for everyone to breathe and made them feel suffocated. what exactly was this thing? it should be a terrifying existence too. the other party should at least be in the quasi-emperor realm. if he had been alive, he might have been even stronger. after his death, he had been reduced to such a state. qin chen and the others could feel that the power released by the terrifying existence was incomparably terrifying. if the other party used his full strength, they would not be able to escape from his hands. thinking of this, qin chen immediately activated the bone in his hand. the bone instantly became extremely powerful. a terrifying aura erupted, surging toward the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. qin chen and the others felt their hearts relax almost in that second. they could finally breathe. the feeling of palpitation was also blocked by the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele in qin chen¡¯s hand. qin chen looked ahead, wondering what kind of creature that terrifying existence was. the other party attacked them immediately, charging toward them. qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t imagine how terrifying the other party was. immediately after, qin chen nodded and everyone was extremely fearful as they blocked the terrifying attack. a terrifying phantom appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. it seemed to be a godfiend, descending upon the world with a powerful pressure, making the void tremble. the godfiend was hundreds of meters tall, and its eyes shot out divine light that seemed to pierce through the world. this should be the godfiend sealed within the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele. unfortunately, the godfiend¡¯s power was not at its peak. it could only be said that it was relying on the power of the seal. still, it could defeat the terrifying quasi-emperor. thinking of this, qin chen and the others were not afraid at all. after all, qin chen had a trump card that could deal with the other party. qin chen¡¯s heart trembled as he watched the godfiend illusion from the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele shake the heavens and earth, knocking down the terrifying boulder-like existence. with that, the ground cracked open and countless boulders rolled to the side. no one could imagine what kind of race this terrifying, boulder-like creature was from. it was so powerful that it had reached the quasi-emperor realm. at this moment, it was no match for the godfiend phantom. it did not take too long for it to be seriously injured. qin chen and the others could only watch as the terrifying boulder-like existence was suppressed and beaten. perhaps it would not be long before it would be completely killed! after all, the primordial dragon godfiend bone stele in qin chen¡¯s hands had an extremely great origin. it was forged by an ancient great emperor and even contained the rules of the ancient great emperor. it could be said to be incomparably terrifying! how could a small quasi-emperor be a match for the godfiend phantom? the fact that it could hold on until now was enough to prove that it was very powerful back when it was alive. otherwise, it would have long died. qin chen and the others were extremely excited because the terrifying existence had fallen into a disadvantage. it was simply no match for the godfiend phantom at all. the two terrifying existences tore the void apart when they fought. it was extremely terrifying and shocking. just the aftershock alone made them feel as if they were about to die. qin chen immediately asked daoist jiu ji to help everyone resist the terrifying aftershock. as expected of a god venerable realm expert, daoist jiuji helped everyone block the terrifying aftershock with just a move of his hand. daoist jiuji was, after all, only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm. he could easily block the aftershock of the attacks. at this moment, the godfiend phantom was pressing down on the terrifying boulder-like existence and beating it up. everyone sighed. they wondered how terrifying the godfiend actually was. to think its phantom could even kill the strongest quasi-emperor. as expected of an ancient great emperor, the terrifying treasures he forged were so powerful. the hearts of qin chen and the others trembled as they watched terrifying attacks. they wondered when they would be able to cultivate to such a level. only by reaching such a realm could one truly not be threatened by anyone. right now, qin chen could only seize the time and constantly increase his strength. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the pursuit of his countless enemies. at this point, he could only hide in this small place and struggle to survive. god knows what would happen in the future, but whether he could now survive or not was another matter. after all, without a terrifying trump card, qin chen could not block any terrifying attacks. with the addition of those terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences, it was extremely dangerous for qin chen to cross the mountain. he was still in great danger and could possibly be unable to leave alive. if qin chen and the others could get out of this place alive, it would be a miracle. after all, they did not have much strength left. they couldn¡¯t even block the terrifying aftershock of the attacks. only by relying on daoist jiuji¡¯s powerful strength could they resist the aftershock. the terrifying quasi-emperor roared.. its body, which was as tall as a boulder, smashed down on the godfiend phantom! Chapter 726 - Chapter 726: Berserk Godfiend Phantom chapter 726: berserk godfiend phantom translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the terrifying godfiend phantom erupted with powerful fluctuations, blocking the terrifying attacks. even if the terrifying boulder-like existence tried its best, it could not gain any advantage. the godfiend phantom was, after all, a magic item forged by an ancient great emperor. it was extremely easy for it to restrain the other party. qin chen and the others were waiting. it wouldn¡¯t take much time before the terrifying quasi-emperor- realm existence would be killed by the godfiend phantom. this was the terrifying aspect of the godfiend phantom. god knows how powerful the godfiend had been when it was alive. to think it could defeat a quasi-emperor-realm existence so easily. towards the end of the battle, the quasi-emperor wasn¡¯t even a match for the godfiend phantom. it could only be beaten passively! boom! with a loud bang, an arm of the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence was crippled. it instantly felt pain and retreated continuously. it seemed to be afraid of the godfiend phantom. although the terrifying quasi-emperor had already cultivated to an extremely high level, its instinctive reaction was to leave. after all, it wasn¡¯t a match for the terrifying godfiend phantom. even though it had lost all consciousness and was but a walking corpse, it was still very afraid of the godfiend phantom as if it had long known that it was no match for the latter. at this point, it was looking for an opportunity to escape. however, how could the godfiend phantom give it such a chance? once the phantom attacked, even top quasi-emperor-realm experts would be killed. lest to say, the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence now only had half of its peak strength. it was understandable that it was completely defeated. then, the godfiend phantom attacked crazily again, wanting to tear the terrifying quasi-emperor into pieces. no one knew how strong the godfiend phantom was, but it managed to tear off the other arm of the terrifying quasi-emperor! in an instant, the terrifying existence no longer had any desire to continue fighting. it only wanted to escape. after all, if it did not, only death would await! seeing this, qin chen couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. everyone gasped. no one had expected qin chen¡¯s trump card to be so terrifying. even the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert couldn¡¯t escape and could only slowly experience the feeling of being killed. the godfiend phantom once again unleashed its divine might. divine light burst out from its body as if a real godfiend had descended. with a savage aura, it punched the terrifying quasi-emperor! the punch seemed to have split open the void! the punch instantly smashed into the chest of the terrifying quasi-emperor who had lost its arms, piercing through its chest. following this, the godfiend phantom moved again, grabbing the head of the terrifying quasi-emperor and twisting it off. one had to know that the terrifying existence was as huge as a mountain. to think it had now fallen into such a miserable state. everyone found it simply unbelievable. they had never thought that the qodfiend phantom would be so cruel. it didn¡¯t take long before it turned the terrifying existence into a pile of gravel. then, the moment the godfiend phantom stopped, it attacked again. qin chen and the others noticed that the terrifying quasi-emperor that had been shattered into pieces had actually reassembled its body. in their eyes, this was simply inconceivable. they did not know how this was done. it was amazing! even after its body had been torn apart after its death, there was still power in the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence to revive itself. unfortunately, this seemed to have triggered the viciousness of the godfiend phantom. it was as if at this moment, the godfiend phantom was no longer a mere phantom, but a true godfiend! it raised its hand and punched. once again, it smashed the terrifying quasi-emperor into pieces. then, it attacked again, wanting to destroy the other party. the godfiend phantom struck out a rule, wrapping up all the body fragments of the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. this time, the rocks were crushed into even smaller particles. with this, even if the terrifying existence had great abilities, it would be impossible for it to revive again. the crowd gasped at the sight. they watched as the quasi-emperor-realm existence disappeared like a puff of smoke. then, the godfiend phantom collapsed and turned into nothingness. if not for the traces left behind by the huge battle, qin chen and the others might have thought that nothing had happened. following this, qin chen led everyone forward. they passed through the final countless boulders. the terrifying existence here had already been killed. no one knew how powerful the terrifying godfiend phantom was. in qin chen¡¯s opinion, even if two quasi-emperor-realm experts joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the godfiend phantom. after all, they had just seen how terrifying the combat strength of the godfiend phantom was. when he thought about it, qin chen¡¯s heart still ached a little. after all, this was the only trump card he had up until now. it had been consumed just like that, and now, he didn¡¯t have any trump cards in his hands. in his opinion, if he was lucky, he should be able to find other places where powerful divinity remained. as long as he checked in again before the next terrifying existence appeared, he should be able to live a little longer. everyone followed qin chen and continued to move forward. there was no longer any danger here so they could move forward without worry. qin chen explored the surroundings to see if there were any hidden great fortunes and great opportunities. to them, it was very important to increase their strength. if qin chen didn¡¯t have any trump cards and encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor, the stronger they were, the more likely they would be able to escape. unfortunately, they did not find anything after searching the surroundings. they only found a few extraordinary stones. qin chen didn¡¯t know what the stones were, but he threw them all into his storage ring. after that, qin chen led everyone to continue advancing, wondering what kind of danger awaited them. then, they once again arrived at another area overgrown with weeds. logically speaking, it was impossible for weeds to exist in death underworld mountain, unless it was like the mystical place they had encountered before.. Chapter 727 - Chapter 727: The Person in the Crystal chapter 727: the person in the crystal translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio there indeed seemed to be a problem with the weeds. qin chen could tell that they were seemingly condensed from some kind of energy and were not real. who could do this? presumably, this was a question they would have to ask the terrifying walking corpse here. to qin chen, even though the terrifying existences had quasi-emperor-realm strength when they were alive, after their death, they could only become existences that could not even be considered ordinary human in qin chen¡¯s eyes. this was because they were already dead and were no longer true living beings. qin chen led everyone forward carefully. this time, they saw a crystal that was emitting a frost. what was hidden in the crystal? qin chen didn¡¯t know, but he could feel that the crystal was emitting powerful fluctuations. he looked at daoist jiuji, who understood what he should do now. daoist jiuji immediately cast an illusion and went ahead to probe the crystal. when the illusion walked to the side of the crystal, nothing happened. with this, qin chen and the others knew that it was safe ahead. as such, he led everyone over. immediately after, they were all shocked. they saw a living person! someone was in the crystal that was emitting a frost! this made qin chen and the others extremely puzzled. the person in the crystal seemed to be a peerless woman. it was as if she was asleep. qin chen and the others could feel that the crystal seemed to be able to isolate all probing. they didn¡¯t know if the woman inside was dead or alive. this woman¡¯s clothes were all from the primordial era. could it be that she had used some kind of secret technique to survive since that great battle until now? qin chen and the others didn¡¯t know what to do. just as qin chen was deep in thought, the eyelashes of the woman inside the crystal started to tremble. it was as if she would open her beautiful eyes in the next second. the big scorpion¡¯s hair immediately stood on end. he did not know what was going on. could it be that there really was a living person inside? only quasi-emperor-realm experts could exist in death underworld mountain. moreover, the fact that she had survived that great battle was enough to show how terrifying the woman was. still, qin chen didn¡¯t hesitate at all. he led everyone forward. god knows if the woman in the crystal would wake up. if she did, god knows if she would retain consciousness. to be honest, those who turned into walking corpses were absolutely terrifying existences in the quasi-emperor realm. at that time, even if qin chen and the others wanted to run, it would be too late. everyone understood his worries, so they followed him and slipped away. they didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer, afraid that the woman in the frost-emitting crystal would suddenly wake up. if it really came to that, qin chen could only sigh at how fate was playing tricks on him. after much difficulty, they finally arrived at the back half of the mountain. they believed that they would be able to leave death underworld mountain soon and live on. at that time, they would be free. even if the experts of the thousand yin holy sect came after them, they would have more choices. however, if they died halfway in death underworld mountain, then everything would really be over. qin chen didn¡¯t want to die, and neither did everyone else, including daoist jiuji. not only did he not want to die, but he even wanted to seize the great opportunity and fortune in death underworld mountain. he wanted to become a peerless expert and step into the quasi-emperor realm. then, he would go back and take revenge! unfortunately, the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences seemed to have all disappeared. after walking for a long distance, qin chen and the others found nothing. ¡°this is really strange. how come we haven¡¯t met any terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences? the big scorpion was not trying to jinx things, but he really was puzzled. logically speaking, there should be countless terrifying existences here. yet now, they had walked for a long distance, but they did not find anything. ¡®quick) look at what¡¯s in front of us!¡± at this moment, the big scorpion covered his mouth in fear as if he had discovered something terrifying. he pointed ahead for everyone to see. qin chen glanced over and saw a torn body lying there. the pressure coming from the body was definitely in the quasi-emperor realm. could it be that the terrifying existence here had already died? was there someone else who was faster than them and had come to this place earlier than them? in qin chen¡¯s opinion, this was impossible. after all, god knows how much time they had used to reach this place, as well as the countless quasi-emperor-realm experts they had killed along the way. yet now, they were seeing a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence¡¯s corpse on the ground and were puzzled. they didn¡¯t know what was going on. qin chen became vigilant. given the current situation, it meant that something even more terrifying than the quasi-emperor-realm existences had appeared. as such, he told everyone to be careful and be on guard against any sudden situation. fortunately, they were lucky. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t find anything unusual even after they had left the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence¡¯s corpse. if something seemed abnormal, there must be something wrong. qin chen didn¡¯t know where the being that killed the terrifying existence had gone. however, he could tell that the other party was definitely in the same realm as the godfiend phantom he released earlier. right now, qin chen no longer had any trump cards. if he were to encounter another terrifying existence, he would probably only be left with death. if it came to that, they could not escape from the other party¡¯s palm at all and could only obediently accept their fate. that was why qin chen was so cautious. on one hand, they were getting closer to the exit of death underworld mountain. as long as they could leave death underworld mountain, they would be able to put down the burden in their hearts. god knows how many worries were weighing down on qin chen and the others during their time in death underworld mountain. it was still alright now, though. there didn¡¯t seem to be any problems. at the very least, they had already arrived at another place. however, there they saw another corpse of a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. the existence had also been killed here with the same method. this made everyone even more frightened. they didn¡¯t know what they would see if they continued to walk forward. was a quasi-emperor-realm existence¡¯s corpse on the ground not enough to show the seriousness of the problem? Chapter 728 - Chapter 728: Confusing chapter 728: confusing translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen became increasingly cautious. at this point, he had no choice but to be careful. the others were jumpy as well. whenever they encountered something that they had not noticed before, they would gasp. ¡°there might be great danger ahead.¡± daoist jiuii was extremely solemn. he knew that the further they advanced, the closer they were to the being that killed the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences. the more so, the more likely they were gambling with their lives. even without daoist jiuji¡¯s words, qin chen was feeling terrified because he had discovered some fragments on the ground. the fragments were the same material as the crystal they had seen earlier, where the absolute beauty had been sealed. ¡°we seem to have seen this before.¡± qin chen picked a fragment from the ground and said coldly. the woman in the crystal was probably sealed in such crystal fragments. as such, qin chen was increasingly fearful. if that were the case, then there should be another existence like that woman sealed in crystal. and now, the terrifying existence in the crystal seemed to have escaped and killed two terrifying existences. the more qin chen deduced, the more his scalp went numb. just how powerful was that existence? it was probably on par with the godfiend phantom that he had previously released, or even stronger. one had to know that creatures that came out of the crystal were almost all existences that survived the primordial era great battle in death underworld mountain. since they didn¡¯t die, everyone could guess how terrifying their strength would be without qin chen having to say anything. if this continued, they might soon bump into an existence that had survived the great battle back then. qin chen let out a heavy breath. he felt a great danger approaching them. right now, there were two paths before them. one was to continue advancing, and the other was to stop and slowly kill time, waiting for death to arrive. there was no need for qin chen to tell them how terrifying the existence ahead was. if they really met such a terrifying existence, they would be sent on their way to hell. qin chen then looked at the crowd. he wondered what their thoughts were. this time around, even he felt afraid. if they went any further, they might really die. still, qin chen continued to lead the group forward. they arrived at a place not far away and made a discovery. the ground was littered with a large number of fragments, all of which were from those crystals. with this, it was very likely that a being who had survived the battle back then had woken up not long ago and was not far ahead. since the other party could survive, he was definitely no simple existence. it was very likely that he was one of the strongest existences in that battle. qin chen and the others could feel the danger ahead. at this point, they could only choose to pray. perhaps that terrifying existence¡¯s goal was to leave death underworld mountain as well. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to keep moving forward. if that were the case, perhaps they could easily leave death underworld mountain by following that terrifying existence. qin chen and the others frowned, not knowing what to do. daoist jiuji spoke, ¡°whether it¡¯s a fortune or a misfortune, we can¡¯t hide from it. if we stay here, the only outcome waiting for us is death. there won¡¯t be any turning point, so we might as well continue moving forward. even if we encounter an even more terrifying existence. we won¡¯t lose out either.¡± hearing daoist jiuji¡¯s words, everyone nodded in agreement. although the truth was cruel, they could only accept it. since that was the case, they should give it a try. after all, they had been advancing without any fear. how could they retreat just because they discovered some probable danger? qin chen¡¯s gaze swept across the crowd. everyone responded with firm gazes as if they had made the same choice as daoist jiuji. with that, qin chen once again led the group forward. this time, everyone remained silent along the way and became even more careful. they checked the surroundings for any danger. then, qin chen and the others saw that there seemed to be blood stains on the ground ahead. the blood had yet to dry up, seemingly having been left behind not long ago, which meant that a huge battle had just erupted here. as they walked forward, they saw the corpse of another terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. ¡°this is too terrifying.¡± the big scorpion was extremely shocked. currently, they had already seen three quasi-emperor corpses. would there be a fourth or fifth one if they continued forward? no one could say for sure. things were becoming complicated. they did not know how powerful that terrifying existence was. after all, the other party was a terrifying expert who had survived that battle back then. following this, qin chen and the others abruptly raised their heads and looked into the distance at the same time because they felt a terrifying fluctuation. it was as if a great battle had erupted ahead. they immediately stopped and did not dare to take another step forward. with such a terrifying fluctuation, it was only likely that the surviving terrifying expert had started a battle with a terrifying walking corpse here. god knows who would be the victor of the battle. either way, if they continued to advance now, they would be fools. after all, even if they rushed over, what could they do? they would only be discovered by the other party. at that time, if the surviving terrifying existence targeted them, the other party could crush them all to death with just a finger! the risk was too great, one that qin chen was unwilling to take. as such, they immediately retreated several thousand miles, waiting for the ripples to end. finally, after god knows how long, the fluctuations ahead seemed to have decreased by a lot. in the end, they disappeared altogether. it was only at this moment that qin chen had the courage to continue moving forward. even if there was a terrifying existence ahead, so what? the battle was probably over. if the surviving terrifying existence had won, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems ahead. rather, it would be an absolutely safe place. now that the fluctuations were gone, it meant that there should not be any terrifying danger ahead. therefore, qin chen decided to continue forward. at the very least, he wanted to see who had won. no matter who won, it would be a great benefit to them.. Chapter 729 - Chapter 729: Interesting chapter 729: interesting translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen and the others carefully advanced, seeing the traces left behind by the great battle ahead. there seemed to still be remnants of powerful powers of rules in the air. only a terrifying existence in the quasi-emperor realm could unleash such power. because they hadn¡¯t seen anything, they didn¡¯t know who had won. they didn¡¯t even see the corpse of a terrifying existence. it was as if the two terrifying existences had disappeared. ¡°ha!¡± originally, qin chen and the others should be rejoicing, but now they were hesitating about whether they should continue moving forward. their future and survival were uncertain. they didn¡¯t know what choice they should make now. qin chen had already made a decision for them. if there was any danger ahead, he was willing to scout the way alone. at the same time, the others would not let him continue alone, so they quickly followed him. after walking for a short while, qin chen took the piece of white paper out and activated it, revealing the map. the map showed that they were only a short distance away from completely crossing the death underworld mountain. as long as they didn¡¯t encounter any danger during this distance, they should be able to escape. at that time, they would be able to truly survive after leaving death underworld mountain. if they could survive death underworld mountain, would they even be caught by the thousand yin holy sect in the outside world? that being said, if they were given another chance to choose now, they would rather continue to be hunted down by the experts of the thousand yin holy sect. after all, the thousand yin holy sect didn¡¯t have many quasi-emperor-realm experts, so they wouldn¡¯t attack easily. after all, the quasi-emperor-realm experts were the foundation of the thousand yin holy sect. still, since they had already arrived here, they decided to continue moving forward. no matter what, without an answer, it was best to find the answer themselves. what if the final result was what they wanted to see? thinking of this, qin chen and the others continued to advance. after some time, they finally stopped. that was because another terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence¡¯s corpse had appeared in front of them. it seemed to be a bird whose stomach had been cut open. it left behind endless pressure, obviously dead, but not for too long. qin chen¡¯s hair stood on end. at this point, he had a terrifying guess in his heart. it was very likely that the surviving terrifying existence from the great battle in death underworld mountain back then had killed this quasi-emperor, and had not gone far. given their current actions, weren¡¯t they exposing themselves? although they had not discovered the surviving terrifying existence, it was very likely that the other party had already noticed them in the dark. after all, in the eyes of quasi-emperor-realm experts, no matter how much they tried to conceal their aura, they couldn¡¯t hide without a trace. qin chen smiled bitterly. everyone seemed to have guessed something and did not dare to move as well. they could only look around vigilantly. if qin chen didn¡¯t guess wrongly, the other party was planning to show himself at some point. even if the other party had fought against countless terrifying quasi-emperor-realm walking corpses in the death underworld mountain in a row, he was still far stronger than them. a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. if the other party wanted to destroy them, it would be easy. thinking of this, qin chen and the others felt a sense of sorrow. were they going to die here? they were just inches away from leaving death underworld mountain and had paid such a huge price to reach this point, but in the end, they were about to die here. they felt a strong sense of unwillingness. not long after, a muffled groan came from the void. the surviving terrifying existence was not dead! qin chen was extremely shocked as he wondered what was going on. after a long while, the other party slowly appeared from the void and walked to qin chen and the others. he was indeed a surviving terrifying existence from the battle back then. he had clearly retained his consciousness and had not died. he was also in the quasi-emperor realm, and he had many wounds on his body. presumably, it was caused by him killing those terrifying quasi-emperor realm existences. to the surprise of this terrifying existence, qin chen and the others were extremely weak. they hadn¡¯t even reached the quasi-emperor realm yet, yet they were able to reach this point. it made him very surprised and interested. ¡°you guys are really bold. to think you could reach this point. could it be that you are also interested in that treasure from back then?¡± faced with the pressure emitted by such a terrifying existence, qin chen and the others were about to prostrate on the ground. however, they still stubbornly resisted this terrifying pressure. qin chen even raised his head and stared straight at the terrifying existence while saying, ¡°senior, please spare our lives.¡± unfortunately, the surviving terrifying existence was clearly interested in qin chen and the others. to him, killing qin chen and the others was no different from killing a few ants. several terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences had already died in his hands. in comparison, qin chen and the others weren¡¯t even in the quasi-emperor realm. they were nothing in his eyes. ¡°tell me, where is the person behind you hiding?¡± this surviving terrifying existence obviously treated qin chen and the others as cannon fodder. to him, even if they were extremely lucky, it was impossible for them to reach this place given their realms. the only possibility was that there might be someone hiding behind these cannon fodder. the other party was very likely also in the quasi-emperor realm. perhaps the other party wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill him when he was injured. qin chen shook his head. the existence who had survived had really misunderstood them. they had managed to reach this point by relying on themselves. there was no existence behind them at all. ¡°are you not going to spill? must you wait for me to make a move?¡± the surviving terrifying existence obviously didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. he immediately grabbed qin chen and pulled him into his hand. he then closed his eyes and instantly went through qin chen¡¯s memories. unexpectedly, qin chen and the others really did not have any other terrifying existence behind them. they had relied on their strength to get here. every time qin chen encountered a terrifying existence, he would definitely have a powerful trump card. ¡°interesting.¡± if it wasn¡¯t for the various treasures, qin chen and the others wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach this place.. Chapter 730 - Chapter 730: A Sheep in the Tiger’s Mouth chapter 730: a sheep in the tiger¡¯s mouth translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio if that was the case, wouldn¡¯t that mean that he had wronged qin chen and the others? there was no one else behind qin chen and the others. however, the surviving terrifying existence was now more and more interested in qin chen. he wondered how qin chen could have so many treasures. in terms of treasures, he might not even be as rich as qin chen. just by taking out the treasures he had, qin chen had crushed countless terrifying existences to death. one should know that those existences were all in the quasi-emperor realm. even if they died and became walking corpses here, their strength was still extraordinary. even the surviving terrifying existence was still injured after killing several quasi-emperor-realm experts. to think these weak cultivators could reach this point unscathed. it indirectly showed that qin chen had likely obtained great opportunities and great fortunes. this made the surviving terrifying existence very curious about him. he had never seen such a situation before. even the descendants of ancient great emperors wouldn¡¯t have so many treasures. if he could get a lot of treasures from qin chen, it would be an unexpected gain. however, when he glanced at the other party, he discovered that the latter didn¡¯t have any trump cards left. with that, he lost interest and placed the other party back on the ground. qin chen and the others looked at the surviving terrifying existence and felt fearful. now, they were really like sheep entering a tiger¡¯s mouth, or fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. as long as this surviving terrifying existence was unhappy, he could erase all traces of them in this world instantly and make them die here. they would not even be able to reincarnate. qin chen¡¯s heart was filled with extreme bitterness. if he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have rushed over. if they had waited a little longer, they might have been safe. unfortunately, qin chen had now put his life in danger and brought everyone into this fire pit along with him. this made him extremely depressed. he didn¡¯t know what to do now. in his opinion, since the surviving terrifying existence had survived the great battle back then, it was apparent the other party had extraordinary abilities. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to get to where he was today. the surviving terrifying existence simply smiled at qin chen. ¡°kid, you have quite a lot of secrets. i can sense that you have a treasure that gives off the aura of an ancient great emperor. that should be an extreme emperor weapon, right?¡± hearing the surviving terrifying existence mention this question, qin chen could not hide it. he indeed had the innate sword embryo. if the other party wanted it, he could not stop the other party either. ¡°you can be considered to be fated with me since you have been able to reach this point. don¡¯t tell me that you accidentally entered this place? hearing this, qin chen nodded crazily and told him everything that had happened. the surviving terrifying existence was incomparably shocked. he did not expect that so much time had passed and so many things had happened. he had never heard of the sky-east star region. could it be that the territories in the outside world had already been re-divided? he was extremely shocked and patiently listened to qin chen¡¯s explanation about the outside world. ¡°are you saying that an opportunity to become a great emperor will appear in this era? the surviving terrifying existence looked at qin chen and asked this question. to the surviving terrifying existence who had survived the great battle back then, becoming an ancient emperor was his sole goal now. if he couldn¡¯t become an ancient great emperor, then no matter how powerful he was, what was the point? in the end, he would ultimately die and return to dust. ¡°i roughly understand.¡± the man in ancient clothes smiled slightly, giving off a sad feeling that the times had changed. at this point, he also learned that qin chen and the others had been forced to enter death underworld mountain. in the end, they had been so lucky to encounter her as if they had stepped on dog poop with their left foot. after all, even a quasi-emperor-realm expert might not be able to make it here. an ordinary quasi-emperor-realm expert would have long died. the surviving terrifying existence didn¡¯t expect qin chen and the others to give him an answer which he didn¡¯t know how to react to. to think they had relied on themselves to persevere and reach this point. therefore, he said to qin chen, ¡°brat, why don¡¯t you make a deal with me? lend me your innate sword embryo and i¡¯ll bring you out.¡± the surviving terrifying existence learned about the extreme emperor weapon, the innate sword embryo, and thus wanted to borrow it. to be honest, he could very well just snatch the weapon over. as long as he crushed qin chen and the others to death, wouldn¡¯t the extreme emperor weapon be his? however, he had a premonition that the kid in front of him would definitely achieve great things in the future. therefore, he did not intend to rashly do such a thing. after all, in his opinion, even though countless years had passed, he still had pride and was unwilling to lower his dignity to do such despicable things. qin chen smiled bitterly. even if the surviving terrifying existence robbed him of all his treasures, what could he say? could he get them back? wouldn¡¯t that be courting death? thinking of this, qin chen took out the innate sword embryo from his storage ring and threw it to the surviving terrifying existence. ¡°such a treasure!¡± sensing the extreme emperor might emitted by the extreme emperor weapon, the surviving terrifying existence could not help but feel excited. one had to know that if he could have such a good magic item in his hand, his combat strength would increase by more than 50%. ¡°don¡¯t worry. when i¡¯m done, i¡¯ll return it to you.¡± to be honest, qin chen was no longer worrying about whether the surviving terrifying existence would return the innate sword embryo to him. as long as the other party could keep his promise and bring them out, qin chen felt that it was already a blessing. following this, the surviving terrifying existence refined the innate sword embryo. only in this way could he master the extreme emperor weapon and unleash its powerful strength. with a wave of his hand, he brought qin chen and the others away. since he had promised them, he would not go back on his word. moreover, he wanted to go out too. there was no point in continuing to stay here. it was already a blessing in disguise that he had been lucky enough to survive that great battle back then. at least he had preserved his life. he wanted to do something else with his life and not just continue to be trapped here.. Chapter 731 - Chapter 731: Leaving Death Underworld Mountain chapter 731: leaving death underworld mountain translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio that was why the surviving terrifying existence wanted to borrow qin chen¡¯s innate sword embryo. finally, after some time, the surviving terrifying existence finally stopped. he looked ahead and there was a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. speaking of which, he had fought the other party before. unfortunately, time had passed and the latter had long died. furthermore, he had ended up in such a state that was neither human nor a ghost. looking at the other party, the surviving terrifying existence felt somewhat sad, but that did not stop him from attacking. with the innate sword embryo in hand, he slashed out and cut the other party into two! this was the power of a quasi-emperor. with the innate sword embryo, his combat power soared. seeing that the terrifying existence¡¯s strength had increased by several folds, qin chen and the others were even more fearful. they did not know if the other party would keep his promise. even if the other party did not, what could they do? thinking of this, qin chen could not help but lower his head and accept his fate. now, he could only let nature take its course. now that the terrifying man had obtained the innate sword embryo, his strength had become even more terrifying. qin chen even suspected that even all the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences in death underworld mountain were no match for him. according to the map, they should be able to successfully leave death underworld mountain soon. in regards to this, daoist jiuji was extremely unwilling. he was so close to obtaining great fortune and opportunity in death underworld mountain. in the end, they were captured by an old undying monster, the terrifying man who had survived that great battle. they couldn¡¯t resist either, because if they did, they would die, which they didn¡¯t want to. since things had come to this point, as long as he could get out of here alive, he should have the chance to cultivate back to his previous realm. it was just a pity that he missed the opportunity to step into the quasi-emperor realm. however, there was nothing he could do. after god knows how long, qin chen and the others were brought to another place by this terrifying man. his speed was truly terrifying, to the point it made qin chen and the others feel despair. they could only do whatever the other party said. at this moment, there was another terrifying aura in front of them. it was a female walking corpse. she was also in the quasi-emperor realm. she should be the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence here. most of the people from the battle back then should have died. the surviving terrifying existence had already made all preparations. no matter what kind of opponent appeared in front of him, he could kill the other party. one had to know that he had an extreme emperor weapon in his hand now. even in the ancient era, such a thing was a supreme treasure, attracting countless experts to fight for it. every time such an item appeared, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm. the surviving terrifying existence looked at the female walking corpse and slashed out with the sword. the terrifying sword attack turned into a shocking sword intent. it was extremely sharp and cut the female walking corpse into two. instantly, her body evaporated into nothingness as if it had never appeared in this world. the terrifying man was like a god who would kill anyone in his way. no terrifying existence could stop his footsteps. wherever he went, he was invincible. the others simply suspected is he was already an invincible existence in death underworld mountain. thinking of this, qin chen became even more desperate. he did not know why he was being targeted by this terrifying existence, but at this point, there was nothing he could do. no matter what decision he made, he could not change his fate. god knows if the terrifying man would let them go and spare their lives after they left the mountain. the terrifying man continued to kill their way out. after killing a few more terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences, they arrived at the edge of death underworld mountain. qin chen and the others could feel that the withering power of death underworld mountain in their bodies was disappearing. it was as if it would dissipate automatically once they left the mountain. then, they were shocked. the terrifying man actually threw the innate sword embryo back to qin chen. qin chen had never thought that the terrifying man would keep his promise and return the innate sword embryo to him. after all, this was an extremely precious supreme emperor weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor. if this terrifying man had an extreme emperor weapon in hand, almost no quasi-emperor-realm expert would be his opponent. ¡°alright. we have already left death underworld mountain, and i have returned the extreme emperor weapon to you. now, we don¡¯t owe each other anything.¡± after saying this, the terrifying man wanted to leave. qin chen and the others were extremely shocked. they had never thought that the terrifying man would keep his promise and let them off. this was simply too unbelievable. however, at this moment, daoist jiuji suddenly said, ¡°senior, please wait.¡± everyone turned to look at him, wondering what he wanted to do. daoist jiuji knelt in front of the terrifying quasi-emperor. ¡°senior, please accept me as your disciple!¡± the terrifying quasi-emperor was also shocked. to think this level 9 god venerable-realm expert would kneel and acknowledge him as his master. one had to know that his current status was not good. he had long lost his peak strength. god knows how long it would take for him to recover to his peak state. moreover, he did not know what the situation in the outside world was like. if he encountered his former enemies, his life might be threatened. but now, to think this level 9 god venerable had knelt before him. he could not help but take a few more glances at the other party. ¡°are you sure you want to take me as your master?¡± daoist jiuji kowtowed heavily on the ground. ¡°disciple greets the master!¡± the terrifying existence that had survived the battle of death underworld mountain in the primordial era could not help but sigh. in the past, it was not that he had not taken in disciples, but almost all of them had died. ¡°alright, since you want to acknowledge me as your master, i will take you as my disciple. however, if you become my disciple, you might die. the journey will be extremely dangerous.¡± qin chen and the others looked at daoist jiuji. daoist jiuji kowtowed again, his voice deep. ¡°i am willing.¡± they hadn¡¯t expected that daoist jiuji, who had been with them all this time, would choose to take this terrifying man as his master.. Chapter 732 - Chapter 732: The Demon Race’s Forbidden Ground chapter 732: the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen and the others had not expected this, but they had already made up their minds. since they had successfully survived death underworld mountain, the next thing they had to do was to escape as soon as possible. if the experts of the thousand yin holy sect found their tracks and confirmed that they weren¡¯t dead, they might send experts to hunt them down again. following this, daoist jiuji followed the terrifying quasi-emperor and turned into a stream of light, disappearing in front of everyone. qin chen was filled with emotions. he had never thought that daoist jiuji would take the terrifying man as his master just to take revenge. one had to know that this daoist jiuji was once only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm. if he could return to his peak state, he might have a chance to step into the quasi-emperor realm without relying on anyone. now that he had acknowledged that terrifying man as his master, no one could say anything else about it. after the terrifying man and daoist jiuji left, qin chen and the others quickly concealed their auras, disguised themselves, and carefully left. they did not know where they were. for them to be able to survive death underworld mountain was simply a miracle. the experts of the thousand yin holy sect probably didn¡¯t expect that they would survive. after all, even quasi-emperor-realm experts would die if they were to enter death underworld mountain. yet, qin chen and the others had actually survived. at this moment, qin chen was leading everyone forward. they didn¡¯t know where they were, but seeing that there seemed to be a city ahead, they entered the city and mixed in. sure enough, they were still in the eastern star field, but the city was quite a distance away from the thousand yin holy sect. although the thousand yin holy sect had a branch here, they weren¡¯t very powerful. in addition to that, the experts of the thousand yin holy sect thought that qin chen and the others had already died. who would have thought that they could pass through death underworld mountain and survive? therefore, as long as qin chen and the others acted cautiously, they should not be detected by the other party. qin chen had brought everyone to hide in an inn. they took out all the natural treasures they had and began to refine and devour them to recover from their injuries and adjust to their peak condition. after all, with their current strength, if they were not at their peak state, a big problem would probably occur if they encountered any danger. the danger in the outside world was not much less than in death underworld mountain, so they had to be careful. qin chen and the others hurriedly sat down to cultivate. after they had recovered from their injuries, qin chen immediately inquired about the situation in the surroundings. the humans here had almost never heard of the existence of the nine heavens and ten lands or the cosmic. this also made qin chen and the others realize that it was probably unrealistic for them to return in a short time. the only thing they could do now was to find out the way back. they had used the five-colored altar to teleport here. presumably, there should be another five-colored altar here. therefore, as long as they found a place with a five-colored altar, they should be able to return by activating the altar. the most important thing now was for them to increase their strength. otherwise, if they encountered any terrifying existences, they would die here and never be able to return. thinking of this, qin chen felt quite apprehensive as they weren¡¯t very strong. they couldn¡¯t even defeat a quasi-emperor expert. but in other words, as long as they didn¡¯t encounter a quasi-emperor expert, ordinary god venerable realm existences could not do anything to them. in the past few days, qin chen and the others had heard about the existence of a demon race¡¯s forbidden ground nearby. it was said that there were many resources there. if they could go there, they should be able to obtain a lot of cultivation resources. at that time, they would be able to become stronger. thinking of this, qin chen and the others immediately decided to sneak in. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was not for fun. it was also a dangerous and terrifying place. still) the place did not have any quasi-emperor-realm experts, so the danger level would be much lower. ¡°are all of you ready?¡± qin chen asked. they were preparing to head to the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground which was said to be not far from here. they could walk over. however, if they met the experts of the thousand yin holy sect and the latter recognized them, they would most likely be hunted down again. after all, qin chen and the others had caused such a huge commotion, it was impossible for no one to know. the thousand yin holy sect had already announced their deaths. if they were to swagger in front of the world, it would be a slap to the thousand yin holy sect¡¯s face. therefore, qin chen and the others had no choice but to keep a low profile. they changed their appearance entirely, which was very easy through some disguising techniques. at this moment, they set off for the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground in the sky-east star region had a glorious history countless years ago. it was said that a demon race¡¯s great emperor had once passed away there. therefore, qin chen deduced that there should be a place with powerful divinity in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. he wanted to find the powerful divinity remnants and use the system to check-in. after all, he didn¡¯t have any defensive magic items on him now. if he encountered a quasi-emperor, he might die at the hands of the other party. thinking up to this point, qin chen immediately made his move and left without daring to delay any longer. everyone followed him to the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. after god knows how long, they suddenly stopped because a huge ship appeared in front of them. there was a huge mark on the ship, which made qin chen extremely shocked. it was a huge ¡°ji¡± word. could it be the ji family that the red-robed woman belonged to? if that were the case. he might be able to build some connections. after all, he had the jade pendant that the red-robed woman had given him. thinking of this, qin chen took out the jade pendant, but he quickly put it away again.. Chapter 733 - Chapter 733: Patriarch Lingshe’s Biological Son chapter 733: patriarch lingshe¡¯s biological son translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio unless it was absolutely necessary, qin chen wouldn¡¯t take out the jade pendant. after all, he didn¡¯t want to be involved with the red-robed woman either. the red-robed woman was currently on the ship. she stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. her destination this time was also the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground to compete for cultivation resources. even though she was a member of the ji family, she needed to go through constant training to become stronger as well. none of the members of the family were shielded from the world. rather, the stronger the family, the more important it was to train their clansmen. ¡°unfortunately, that guy is already dead. if he wasn¡¯t, i wanted to absorb him into the ji family.¡± the red-robed woman recalled the countless surprises that qin chen had brought her and her emotions stirred. to think the other party had died at the hands of the thousand yin holy sect just to save her. she decided that she would go to the thousand yin holy sect to settle this score after she broke through. she was, after all, a member of the ji family. the thousand yin holy sect wouldn¡¯t dare to offend her, so they could only obediently accept her anger. thinking of this, the red-robed woman returned to the ship. she didn¡¯t notice that qin chen and the others were also looking at the ship, and qin chen didn¡¯t notice that she was on the ship. ¡°elder king, this ship seems to have the same destination as us. it should also be heading for the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground.¡± the big scorpion looked in the direction that the ship was flying towards. it was the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. as such, he could not help but speak up. this time, they might have to deal with the ji family. what qin chen and the others didn¡¯t notice was that there was another ship flying over as well. it was too far away for them to see, but if they saw it, they would recognize it as the ship of the thousand yin holy sect. this time, the thousand yin holy sect had also sent their disciples to train there. after all, only those who had grown through fighting were the most useful. anyone who hadn¡¯t experienced a battle could only be considered a flower vase. the thousand yin holy sect wouldn¡¯t keep useless people, so their disciples were sent to constantly experience such bloody battles. there was a deep meaning to choosing the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground as their training location. there were, after all, many experts in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. as such, the killings they experienced would be even more dangerous, which could accelerate their growth. at the same time, the casualty rate was also extremely high. often, a large number of cultivators would go there and never return. qin chen and the others were busy with their journey. they wanted to enter the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground to obtain cultivation resources. on the other hand, there were countless demons in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, and they often fought with human cultivators. the demon race also had its inheritance. killing human experts could transform them and make them stronger. only experts who had truly experienced battle could become stronger and become peerless experts. therefore, it was extremely chaotic in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. humans, demons, and various factions mixed, and chaotic battles often broke out. after some time, qin chen and the others finally arrived at the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. when they arrived, they sensed countless demon auras inside, as well as human experts standing right opposite the demons. it was as if they had divided the ground. countless ships were parked here. qin chen and the others deliberately avoided the ships and tried their best to avoid contact with those people. after all, their current identities could not be exposed. on the surface, they were already dead. if they suddenly appeared, it would probably attract unexpected danger. qin chen led the group forward, wondering if they would encounter the disciples of the ji family. they hid in the bushes where there were countless fresh bloodstains. clearly, there were frequent battles. the killing between the demons and humans had never stopped. it only became increasingly brutal. almost the moment the two sides met, they would kill each other. at this moment, qin chen and the others didn¡¯t notice that someone had already set their eyes on them. it was an expert of the demon race who was in the god venerable realm. he was targeting human experts to fight and hone his strength. right now, he had locked onto qin chen and the others. to him, they weren¡¯t too strong but not too weak either. they were perfect for him to make himself stronger. therefore, he took the initiative to attack. he turned into a black shadow and charged toward qin chen and the others. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t realize an attack was coming. they only noticed it when the sneak attack was right in front of them. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately joined forces to attack. they erupted terrifying god venerable-realm aura and unleashed terrifying rules that bombarded the black shadow. in an instant, the black shadow was sent flying and crashed into a big tree. unfortunately, the black shadow was not too seriously injured. instead, he continued to stare at qin chen and the others coldly. only then did qin chen and the others discover that the black figure in front of them was an expert of the demon race. his body was emitting a dense demonic qi. furthermore, the opponent was extremely powerful. he was staring at them, wanting to make a move against them again. seeing that this demon was only in the god venerable realm, qin chen didn¡¯t waste any more words. he immediately ordered the flame-wing beast and the true dragon to kill the other party. they had only just arrived and they had already attracted the pursuit of a demon race expert. clearly, this made qin chen extremely displeased. he didn¡¯t care who this demon race expert was. he had to kill him. following this, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon joined forces and injured the demon race expert. one should know that the true dragon and the flame-wing beast had survived the trials of life and death in death underworld mountain. otherwise, their strength would not have improved so significantly. when the two of them joined forces, this ordinary demon race expert could not withstand it and was instantly heavily injured. he spat out a large mouthful of blood. ¡°let¡­ let me go! do you know who i am? i¡¯m patriarch lingshe¡¯s son!¡± qin chen gave the flame-wing beast and the true dragon a look) telling them to kill the demon race expert immediately. he didn¡¯t care about the other party¡¯s background.. even if he killed him, who would know that they were the ones who did it? Chapter 734 - Chapter 734: Great Chaos in the Forbidden Ground chapter 734: great chaos in the forbidden ground translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the powerful demon race expert was killed by the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. qin chen felt quite disdainful. he had never been afraid of anyone in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground patriarch lingshe? even if he was a terrifying existence in the quasi-emperor realm, so what? he had killed countless quasi-emperor-realm experts. although qin chen currently did not have any trump cards in his hands, this did not mean that he would be threatened by the demon race expert. to think the latter thought that a casual name could scare him. as long as he could find powerful divinity remnants in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, he could use the system to check in and obtain a trump card again. at that time, he would not have to worry much about patriarch lingshe. even if god came, he would be able to destroy the other party. thinking up to this point, qin chen led the group forward. they had no idea that danger was quietly approaching. once the demon race expert died, a figure trembled violently. ¡°my son, who killed you?! why can¡¯t i sense your aura?¡± patriarch lingshe was furious. he knew what had happened. his son might have already died. one must know that he was a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. even if someone wanted to target his son, they couldn¡¯t ignore his reputation. if someone killed his son, he would definitely seek revenge. presumably, not many people in this world could ignore the rage of a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert. the reason why patriarch lingshe could sense the disappearance of his son¡¯s aura was that they were connected by blood. he could use a demon race¡¯s bloodline secret technique to sense if his son was still alive. and now, his son¡¯s aura fluctuation had completely disappeared. he could not sense anything. this was the reason why he was furious. ¡°roar!¡± patriarch lingshe roared. immediately, countless demon race experts prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling. they did not know what had happened to incur the wrath of their patriarch. there were countless quasi-emperor demon race experts in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. patriarch lingshe was one of them, and he had been a quasi-emperor for many years. his strength was unfathomable. even the quasi-emperors among the human cultivators didn¡¯t dare to fight him. the slightest flaw may land them in trouble. patriarch lingshe vowed to find the murderer. at that time, he would make the other party pay a painful price. he would let the other party know just how terrifying the consequences would be to kill his son! at this moment, qin chen and the others had already left. the demon race expert¡¯s corpse was left lying on the ground. his blood had already dried up. it was obvious that he could not be resurrected. patriarch lingshe appeared in front of his son¡¯s corpse. when he saw his son¡¯s corpse, he could not help but roar with rage. following this, patriarch lingshe used supernormal knowledge to backtrack time and find out who had done this. with that, an illusory scene appeared in front of him. it was the scene of qin chen and the others killing the demon race expert at the last moment. ¡°humans. patriarch lingshe was enraged. his entire body began to tremble violently. it was obvious that he was on the verge of going berserk. ¡°none of you can escape. all of you will be buried with my son!¡± countless demons took action at this moment. they had received orders from the patriarch to search everywhere for the humans, based on portraits. the demon race experts who were on good terms with patriarch lingshe also contributed their strength. a search was conducted throughout the demon race¡¯s forbidden. as long as they found traces of qin chen and the others, the latter would be killed without mercy. patriarch lingshe would never allow qin chen and the others to leave the forbidden ground alive. after countless years, the blood feud between the human race and the demon race had long reached an irreconcilable point. and now, qin chen and the others had unknowingly killed patriarch lingshe¡¯s son. clearly, this stirred up a conflict between the demons and humans. these days, patriarch lingshe had been killing human cultivators. any time he saw any human cultivators, he would lead his demon race subordinates to kill them all. no matter how strong or weak the humans were, not a single one of them was able to escape. this move clearly provoked the humans. ¡°this is simply too arrogant!¡± ¡°to think a mighty demon race patriarch would target us human cultivators like this. does he think we humans are without experts?¡± countless voices rang out. clearly, the humans had witnessed the death of their companions and were worried. god knows if they would be the next to die. in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, anything could happen. they knew that there was a quasi-emperor-realm demon race expert who was killing humans to vent his anger, but they did not know why. after this incident, the conflict between humans and demons intensified again. it had already set off countless battles of all sizes. however, as the instigator of all of this, qin chen was leading his people into the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. it wasn¡¯t easy for them to find cultivation resources because ordinary natural treasures were not of much use to them anymore since their current strength was already very powerful. therefore, they could only snatch food from the jaws of a tiger. they wanted to see if there was a chance to snatch some peerless natural treasures from those powerful demon race territories. at this moment, the big scorpion stopped in his tracks. he looked ahead and was quite excited. that was because in front of him was the territory guarded by a god venerable realm demon race expert. there were powerful natural treasure fluctuations from the territory, which caught the attention of qin chen and the others. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± qin chen spat out two concise words. he then led everyone and charged forward. they did think much of ordinary god venerable realm experts now. as long as the other party was not an expert above level 9 of the god venerable realm, they were fearless. after all, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were both level 4 god venerable realm experts. their strength had increased quite a bit along the way. if they joined forces, even a level 8 god venerable realm expert might not be able to defeat them. this was qin chen¡¯s and the others¡¯ confidence. after all, they urgently needed to increase their strength. they didn¡¯t know that the outside world was already in chaos. every time countless demons and humans encountered each other, a massacre would break out. both sides gradually became bloodthirsty. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was littered with, countless corpses.. Chapter 735 - Chapter 735: Are You Courting Death? chapter 735: are you courting death? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio following this, qin chen and the others arrived before the supreme natural treasure guarded by the god venerable realm demon race expert. a terrifying white tiger slowly emerged. countless rays of light surrounded its body. at this moment, it had already sensed danger. to think human cultivators had come to attack it. ¡°are you courting death?¡± hearing the words of the great white tiger demon, qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but laugh. if they really fought, it was still uncertain who would live and who would die. immediately, the great white tiger demon was prepared to attack. its eyes were filled with viciousness. in its opinion, these human cultivators deserved to die. this was the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. it did not expect that humans would be so arrogant as to sneak into the depths of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground and come before it. if it didn¡¯t kill qin chen, it would lose its dignity and be bringing shame to the demon race. therefore, qin chen and the others saw the powerful great white tiger demon immediately charged toward them. as expected of a level 6 god venerable realm expert, its body emitted the power of rules, causing the void to tremble endlessly. the demon race placed the most importance on the issue of bloodline inheritance. clearly, the bloodline in the great white tiger demon¡¯s body was extraordinary. otherwise, it would be impossible for it to reach the god venerable realm. at this moment, it charged toward qin chen and the others. qin chen only gave the flame-wing beast and true dragon a look, telling them to deal with the great white tiger demon. the great white tiger demon¡¯s ferocity did not weaken by the slightest. back then, it had killed many experts in the same realm, and now, both the true dragon and flame-wing beast that were attacking it were only at level 4 of the god venerable realm. in its opinion, they were nothing. perhaps it would not be long before it could make these two fellows pay a heavy price. ¡°although you are not from the demon race, since you have chosen to stand on the side of the human race, i will clean up the traitors for the demon race today. i¡¯ll make sure you guys who help the wicked are punished!¡± the great white tiger demon roared as it charged over. it thought nothing of the flame-wing beast and true dragon. in its eyes, the two were just pitiful clowns. to think that they would listen to a human whose realm was weaker than theirs. this was simply a disgrace to the demon race. although it could sense that the two were not pure-blood demons, would they be able to survive after the demon race was destroyed? how could there be an intact egg under the overturned nest? to think they couldn¡¯t even understand such an apparent logic. today, it had no choice but to make a move and take care of these two ignorant fellows. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon both laughed. the great white tiger demon actually thought that they had abandoned their dignity as experts and were subdued by qin chen. one should know that the elder king treated them very well. he treated them as the most important people in his life. they would never submit to any other human but qin chen. after spending so much time together, they realized that they could only become stronger by following him. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon instantly engaged in an intense battle with the great white tiger demon. their battle was extremely terrifying, and even the ground was split for thousands of miles. residual waves of combat in the void flew toward qin chen and the others. qin chen was wearing the supreme heavenly origin armor, so he couldn¡¯t care less about the terrifying aftershock. as long as it wasn¡¯t a quasi-emperor-realm expert¡¯s attack, it was almost impossible to injure him. the great white tiger demon clearly hadn¡¯t expected the true dragon and the flame-wing beast¡¯s strength to be so monstrous. they managed to cross two or three minor realms and suppress it. logically speaking, even if the two of them joined forces, it should¡¯ve been impossible for them to have such powerful combat strength. if they could cultivate properly, perhaps it would not be long before they could become peerless experts and reach the white tiger¡¯s current realm. perhaps there would even be a chance for them to break through to the quasi-emperor realm. it was a pity that these two fellows obeyed the humans and were enslaved. such a fate was so foolish and humiliating in the eyes of the great white tiger demon! the human race had a standard for almost all living beings. regardless of whether the creatures were from other special races or not, they were all demons. therefore, the great white tiger demon firmly believed that qin chen had enslaved these two terrifying experts. otherwise, why would two god venerable realm experts listen to him? it was obvious that the other party had threatened them with despicable means. now that they had encountered it, the great white tiger demon, it decided to clean up the demon race. either way, it couldn¡¯t allow the enemy to become stronger. moreover, the human cultivators had already come to its door. did they think it didn¡¯t know what they wanted to do? what these human cultivators wanted was nothing more than the peerless natural treasure that it guarded. to think they dared covet its treasures¡­ the great white tiger demon would not hold back. after killing the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, it would deal with that god emperor realm human cultivator. at this moment, qin chen wasn¡¯t the slightest bit worried about the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. after all, the two were on par with the great white tiger demon. if this continued, it was very likely that the demon would not be able to hold on. qin chen laughed. the great white tiger demon was already heavily injured, and its body was covered in blood. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon attacked with all their might, not giving the great white tiger demon a chance to catch its breath. it was only now that the great white tiger demon experienced what it meant when it was said that there was always bound to be someone better. it was just that two powerful god venerables had actually fallen to the point of risking their lives for human cultivators. in the white tiger¡¯s opinion, it was too much of a loss of status. if it were the white tiger, it would have long turned the tables and become the master of human slaves instead. at least in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, it was quite powerful. but now, it was too late for the great white tiger demon to regret. at this moment, its intestines were already about to turn green with regret. unfortunately, it was already useless. after all, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon would not let it off. at this moment, qin chen gave the flame-wing beast and the true dragon a signal. he was willing to let the demon off. since they had already snatched the natural treasure, it was best to let the great white tiger demon off. it was only when qin chen and the others ignored the great white tiger demon that the latter realized that the other party had let it off. how was this possible? weren¡¯t humans and demons supposed to be at each other¡¯s throats? how could a human let him go voluntarily? wondering about this, the great white tiger demon was extremely puzzled. it could not fathom what was happening. in its opinion, the human race and the demon race had long been irreconcilable. at this moment, qin chen and the others had already arrived at the natural treasure.. Chapter 736 - Chapter 736: Too Little chapter 736: too little translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio god knows what treasures were in the great white tiger demon¡¯s territory. qin chen led everyone forward. they came to the side and saw a blooming flower. the fiery red color of the flower was extremely beautiful. it was as if even the air was burning hot. qin chen was shocked. this was indeed a peerless natural treasure. if it wasn¡¯t, it wouldn¡¯t have such a huge effect on its surroundings. thinking of this, qin chen plucked the blooming red flower and divided it into six portions. the big scorpion, true dragon, flame-wing beast, holy maiden mu xue, and yuji each received a portion. they were already very powerful and had refined many treasures. as such, at the current stage, few things could increase their strength and realm other than peerless natural treasures. qin chen also refined and devoured his portion of the flower. it had to be said that the fiery-red flower was truly powerful. it made qin chen feel as if the shackles on his realm had loosened. he was now at level 4 of the god emperor realm, and it had been too long since he had broken through. but now, the shackles on his cultivation had a trace of loosening. ¡°it¡¯s too little.¡± if there were more of these peerless natural treasures, qin chen would definitely be able to make another breakthrough. if he advanced again, he would be at level 5 of the god emperor realm, which would allow him to be regarded as an expert among god emperors. at that point, even without relying on any trump cards, he would still be able to fight against a level 9 god emperor for a short time without losing. this was why he was confident in his own strength. almost everyone showed signs of improvement. that being said, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon seemed to show no changes. seeing this, qin chen could not help but frown. at this point, if they wanted to break through again, they needed an unknown number of peerless natural treasures. god knows if the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had many such natural treasures. not long after qin chen and the others left, they sensed that there seemed to be a great battle ahead. ¡°what¡¯s going on? the intense battle was between demon race experts and a human faction. qin chen was clueless as to why the two sides were fighting until he quietly caught a lone demon race expert. it wasn¡¯t only after searching the latter¡¯s soul did he realize that they were being targeted by patriarch lingshe. now that such a terrifying war had erupted between the humans and the demons, presumably, it should be related to them. qin chen was a little worried. he asked everyone to change their appearance again. as long as there were no experts who were much more powerful than them, there would be no chance for others to discover their true appearances. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that all this was caused by us.¡± the big scorpion gasped. he did not expect that the terrifying god venerable realm demon that they had killed before was truly the son of patriarch lingshe. patriarch lingshe was a terrifying existence in the quasi-emperor realm. it was said that his strength was unfathomable. at this moment, qin chen and the others had already unknowingly caused chaos in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. ¡°damn it!¡± ¡°why are these demons so crazy? ¡°stop thinking about it. everyone, follow me and kill! countless human cultivators rushed into battle immediately when they encountered demon experts. none of the two parties had any intentions of stopping. all they wanted was to kill each other. they couldn¡¯t possibly stop either. they could only use their strength to let the enemy know how powerful they were. as the battlefield continued to expand, powerful experts started participating in the battle. at some point, god venerable realm experts started dying in battle! although the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground could allow people to grow rapidly, the casualties were also considered very high. almost no one could survive this battle. a red-clothed woman was frowning. ¡°what? the number of casualties of the ji family has exceeded the previous number?¡± the ji family had never lost so many people at once. ¡°this is unbelievable. have those demons gone crazy? if they¡¯re acting so crazy, then we¡¯ll accompany them to the end! let¡¯s see if the demon race has more experts or if the human race has more!¡± someone had already sent a message to the ji family, asking the big shots of the ji family to come. because this time, they were afraid that they could not suppress these terrifying demons. that being said, demons in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground were weakening. after all, their casualties were also very high. every time a human expert came to train, the demons would be the first to be attacked. since that was the case, they had no reason to hesitate. then, they saw an incomparably huge demon expert become a sixteen-foot golden body. it became incomparably huge and carried terrifying blood energy. it smashed a ji family expert into a bloody mist, its attack impossible to dodge. when the red-clothed woman saw this scene, she could not help but make a move. however, she was stopped. ¡®eldest young miss, i¡¯m afraid that something has happened in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground this time. please don¡¯t act rashly. otherwise, if anything happens, we won¡¯t be able to explain it to the leader.¡± ¡°hmph!¡± the red-clothed woman snorted coldly, ¡°why am i here? could it be that i¡¯m here to play? open your eyes wide and look clearly. those are all disciples of the ji family. i will not allow the ji family to bleed in vain! you want me to just watch, but i can¡¯t do that!¡± with that, the red-clothed woman charged out. to her, these demon race experts could not stop her. after all, she was in the god venerable realm and was extremely terrifying. ordinary experts could not cause any harm to her. her sword slashed out, and the void was broken. it was extremely terrifying. even with the terrifying defense of the demon race, they could not resist it. in an instant, a demon was cut into two halves by the sword and died unwillingly. then, the red-clothed woman raised her sword and danced with the moon. a bright moon and a gentle breeze blew, and water waves seemed to turn into a painting. in this picturesque painting, countless demons died. their blood decorated the painting. at this moment, a terrifying demon race expert charged out. ¡®give me your life! roar!¡± the demon¡¯s fur was black, and it looked like an ancient black bear. it punched down angrily! ¡°human race, die!¡± it was also a terrifying existence in the god venerable realm. when it fought with the red-clothed woman, it forced her to retreat.. Chapter 737 - Chapter 737: Human Sculpture chapter 737: human sculpture translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after the ancient black bear had forced the red-clothed woman to retreat temporarily, an expert immediately descended. he was the ji family¡¯s guardian elder. the red-clothed woman was unwilling to admit defeat, but she had never seen such a terrifying demonic beast. even though she was mentally prepared, there was nothing she could do as the terrifying ancient black bear was incomparably mighty. the moment the bear attacked, it unleashed a large number of rules. no matter how powerful the red-clothed woman was, she was destined to be no match for the bear. if she wanted to kill it, she would have to pay a huge price. the red-clothed woman thought about qin chen. if he was still alive, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be forced into the state she was in today. unfortunately, he was already dead. as soon as this thought rose in her mind, it was immediately suppressed. her top priority now was to deal with this ancient black bear. the other party clearly wanted to end the lives of the red-clothed woman and the others here. the red-clothed woman didn¡¯t know if her strength was a match for the bear, but from the looks of it now, the difference in realms between them was not that great. thinking of this, the red-clothed woman took out another sword and charged at the black bear. the black bear was indeed powerful. it shook the void and quickly avoided the red-clothed woman¡¯s continuous pursuit, even launching a counterattack. anyone with discerning eyes could see that the red-clothed woman was gradually falling into a disadvantage. if she continued to persist, she might only be able to deliver a blow that was nothing to the bear. at the same time, she might be injured. therefore, the ji family¡¯s guardian made a move now. he was a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert and thus managed to kill the terrifying black bear with one blow. ¡°eldest young miss, are you hurt?¡± the red-clothed woman shook her head. then, she raised the sword in her hand and continued to kill countless powerful demons. god knows why the demon race had gone berserk this time and was making such a huge commotion. still, since they had killed members of the ji family, the ji family couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch. even in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, it was impossible for so many demon race experts to come forward. even if they did, there was nothing they could do to stop the humans. the red-clothed woman charged at the demon race experts again. since the guardian of the ji family, a quasi-emperor, had attacked, the demon race¡¯s quasi-emperor would also attack. at that time, who knew how many would die because of this? therefore, they were now prepared for a great battle. if they could not resist those terrifying demons, they would temporarily withdraw from the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. all along, this place had been the most important training ground for the human race, but this had also indirectly strengthened the demons. many demon race experts had achieved great success in their realms. if it weren¡¯t for this, there wouldn¡¯t have been so many terrifying experts dying. there was only one reason for the increasing number of casualties, and that was that these experts wanted to continue to become stronger. if they wanted to grow, they could only do so in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. otherwise, there was no other way for them to become stronger. after all, the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had countless natural treasures and cultivation resources. there was no other choice. as she thought of this, the red-clothed woman had already immersed herself in the huge battle. god knows when this battle would end. but with the ji family¡¯s guardian here, nothing would happen to the red-clothed woman. countless experts fought to no end. the ground was already littered with countless demon race experts¡¯ corpses, as well as many corpses of human cultivators. this could be considered a rare disaster in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. who knew how many experts would die in the end? ¡°what did you say?¡± the red-clothed woman was extremely shocked because she saw the portraits of qin chen and the others. ¡°why are they here? could it be that they didn¡¯t die in death underworld mountain? this was impossible! surely the experts of the thousand yin holy sect wouldn¡¯t make a mistake. qin chen and the others must have encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter that allowed them to leave death underworld mountain. regarding the chaos this time, it was because qin chen and the others had killed the quasi-emperor-realm patriarch lingshe¡¯s son. this was the source of all this chaos! if the red-clothed woman knew that qin chen and the others had killed countless quasi-emperor-realm experts back in death underworld mountain, she would be extremely shocked. the red-clothed woman was extremely happy now. she had never thought that qin chen was still alive! she was very excited and immediately interrogated the demon race experts about qin chen¡¯s whereabouts. unfortunately, the expert didn¡¯t know where he was. the only thing the demon could be sure of was that he should be on the forbidden ground. unfortunately, qin chen¡¯s whereabouts were still unknown. what the red-clothed woman needed to do was to find him. at this point, qin chen and the others were in hiding. a quasi-emperor-realm expert was wandering about in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground and getting closer to them. if they were to encounter the other party, the only outcome for qin chen and the others would be death. after all, that was a terrifying quasi-emperor demon race expert. a casual strike from the other party would be enough to heavily injure qin chen. qin chen smiled. god knows how long had passed before things settled down. they sensed that the quasi-emperor demon race expert¡¯s fluctuation seemed to have disappeared. ¡°what is going on? no matter how hard qin chen and the others searched, they couldn¡¯t find the aura of the demon race expert. following this, they fell into a huge hole. seeing that the big scorpion had already fallen in, qin chen and the others immediately followed. no one knew what was in the hole, but they couldn¡¯t just let the big scorpion fall into it alone. if there was any danger, the other party¡¯s life might be in danger. qin chen would never abandon anyone. before the big scorpion could react, he fell into a big hole. unexpectedly, there was actually another world under the big hole. in the huge hole in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was a space of more than 300 meters with many layers. the big scorpion fell to the ground. when he stood up and looked ahead, he was stunned on the spot. qin chen and the others landed as well. when they saw what was in the hole, they were shocked. god knows what was going on under the big hole, but there was a statue.. it was a statue of a human cultivator!! Chapter 738 - Chapter 738: Taiji Divine Spirit Stele chapter 738: taiji divine spirit stele translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this shocked qin chen and the others. one had to know that this was the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. how could a human statue appear here? it should be impossible! the big scorpion was so shocked he forgot to blink, and the same was true for qin chen and the others. they had no idea what was going on. after all, no matter what, it should be impossible for a human statue to appear here. qin chen was extremely shocked. then, he walked straight over. when he reached the human statue, he saw that it was emitting fluctuations with a terrifying pressure. it was shocking. qin chen walked to the back of the statue, wanting to find out why the statue was emitting fluctuations. however, he couldn¡¯t find where the fluctuations from the statue were coming from, which was surprising to qin chen. logically speaking, even if there was a statue here, it should be a statue of a demon race expert. god knows what was going on. however, it was obvious that there was a huge problem here. at the very least, this hole should have existed for an unknown amount of time. presumably, it should have experienced countless years. since the statue in the big hole was still emitting fluctuations, it was definitely extraordinary. qin chen said softly, ¡°there must be something fishy about this. everyone, be careful. ¡± then, everyone advanced, wanting to find out why there was such a terrifying thing here. to think there was such a terrifying existence. the statue here was surely out of the ordinary. qin chen continued to search in an attempt to uncover the reason behind the existence of a human statue in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. without the human statue, there shouldn¡¯t be any abnormalities. qin chen kept searching. no matter what, there must be something wrong with the things here, especially that statue. finding the statue here, he was quite certain that there was something here. qin chen continued to investigate. there was definitely something wrong given the terrifying existence in this place. qin chen looked for the problem. but at this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy. he felt like he was about to run out of strength, and god knows why. fortunately, he stabilized his mind very quickly. it seemed that it was a problem with his mind, which should be related to the primordial spirit. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. he sealed his primordial spirit since if this continued) there would be problems. he defended his soul with layers of barriers since he was clueless as to the reason behind the current occurrence. could it be that there was a problem with the statue? it was difficult for qin chen to find the crux of this problem. as he continued to search, he touched the statue, and to qin chen¡¯s incomparable shock, it emitted light. qin chen was dumbfounded as the divine power in his body was continuously absorbed by the statue. the big scorpion and the others noticed the ongoing problem. ¡°not good! there¡¯s something wrong with that statue!¡± qin chen¡¯s body started to tremble he also knew that his situation was most certainly not good. he decisively sent his divine power to the statue crazily, which then produced a divine power backlash. with that, he was sent flying and fell to the side. qin chen panted heavily. however, it was also at this moment that he finally discovered the problem. something seemed to be slowly being released. a terrifying aura burst out! instantly, qin chen became extremely excited because he felt a powerful divinity fluctuation! could it be that this statue had powerful divinity remnants?! immediately after, the system¡¯s voice rang out in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding, dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] first) a human statue appeared in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. and now, qin chen had finally found the source of the problem. he looked straight at the statue and there really was a problem! with the powerful divinity remnant, he could use the system to check-in. at that time, he would be able to obtain a trump card. he immediately excitedly muttered the word ¡°check-in¡± in his heart. check-in! [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in to the ancient great emperor¡¯s stone statue. you have received the reward, the taiji divine spirit stele!] [taiji divine spirit stele: a one-time consumable item. it is a treasure refined by an ancient great emperor. it can release a taiji array which contains an extremely terrifying god who can kill quasi-emperor-realm experts!] qin chen was incomparably excited. he had obtained a trump card that could suppress terrifying quasi-emperors. qin chen smiled. with this trump card, he was not afraid of anything. a small stone tablet appeared in his hand. this was an extremely powerful trump card. now, even if he encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor, he had nothing to be afraid of. as long as he had this stone tablet, he could do anything. qin chen held the stone tablet in his hand. everyone could feel that the stone tablet in his hand was no ordinary object. it should be a powerful trump card, although they did not know how powerful it was. still, it should be able to fight against those terrifying existences. in other words, even if the elder king encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor now, he would not be afraid of the other party. when qin chen stood up, the light on the statue had already dimmed. it was unknown why this statue was left in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. one had to know that this place had produced demon emperors who were comparable to ancient great emperors. one could imagine how terrifying this statue was for it to actually appear in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. at this moment, qin chen and the others suddenly felt the earth trembling. god knows what had happened other than the fact they could be sure that something must have occurred in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. still, the statue in front of them remained unbudging. a terrifying figure appeared. it was a terrifying existence at the quasi-emperor realm, patriarch lingshe! at this point, patriarch lingshe already knew that someone had entered the hole. there was definitely something wrong. after searching for a while, he found out that qin chen and the others were hiding in the hole! ¡°kekeke¡­ i¡¯ve finally found you!¡¯ patriarch lingshe was furious.. Chapter 739 - Chapter 739: Fighting Against Patriarch Lingshe chapter 739: fighting against patriarch lingshe translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio to patriarch lingshe, the existence of qin chen and the others was like a thorn in his heart. if he couldn¡¯t kill them, then there was no point for him to continue existing. to think even such weaklings dared to provoke him¡­ it was simply his taboo! he only had one son, and that son of his had been killed by qin chen. even if he exhausted all his methods, he would probably not be able to revive his son. as such, patriarch lingshe went berserk. he had been searching for qin chen and the others. now, they had appeared in front of him. qin chen and the others were somewhat fearful. they didn¡¯t know how to deal with this terrifying existence who was a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm expert. even in the demon race, the other party was a famous expert. moreover, in the demon races forbidden ground, many quasi-emperor-realm experts of the demon race were on good terms with him. the reason why such a terrifying riot had occurred this time was largely due to patriarch lingshe. when patriarch lingshe asked for the support of his old friends, they were all filled with righteous indignation. they decided to deal a heavy blow to the human race and let them know that the forbidden ground was not the world of the human race. this was the holy ground of the demon race! they would not allow a few human factions to occupy the demon race¡¯s holy ground. if news of the matter were to spread out, perhaps those demon emperors in the past would be so angry that they would rise from their coffins. after all, this was really too embarrassing. therefore, patriarch lingshe was now launching a terrifying attack on qin chen and the others. today, he vowed to kill them. he couldn¡¯t allow them to continue living. at this moment, qin chen and the others were quite agitated. to think a terrifying quasi-emperor was attacking them. it turned out that the demon race expert they had killed before was the son of this terrifying quasi-emperor. qin chen took out the taiji divine spirit stele and injected all his divine power into it before charging toward the terrifying patriarch lingshe. when qin chen took out the taiji divine spirit stele, the fluctuations that erupted from it made patriarch lingshe feel slightly fearful. he didn¡¯t understand why a god emperor would have such a powerful magic item. qin chen felt quite apprehensive as their current situation was quite urgent. it was almost impossible for him to resist. rather, even if everyone worked together, they would not be able to resist the other party. thinking of this, qin chen made his move. he could not let such a powerful existence continue to live. as long as patriarch lingshe existed, he would feel threatened. qin chen then turned to look at patriarch lingshe, and the latter also looked at the stone stele in his hand. after all, the aura emitted by this stone stele made him feel extremely afraid. soon after, qin chen activated the taiji divine spirit stele and released a terrifying aura that enveloped patriarch lingshe. patriarch lingshe was prepared to act. how could he be defeated by these guys who hadn¡¯t even reached the quasi-emperor realm? ¡°today, i will use your blood to pay tribute to the soul of my dead son! i¡¯ll let you know that there are some things that you shouldn¡¯t lay your hands on. since you have done so, you will pay the price!¡± at this point, patriarch lingshe struck out a rule attack on qin chen and the others. the attack was incomparably terrifying. it instantly pierced through the void, causing the space to become unstable. patriarch lingshe was, after all, once a peerless expert with terrifying talent. in addition, he had already broken through to the quasi-emperor realm and cultivated for god knows how long. facing his full strength, qin chen and the others felt a terrifying fatal threat enveloping them. still, qin chen no longer retreated because he also had a trump card to block his opponent. he immediately threw out the taiji divine spirit stele in his hand, and it instantly emitted a resplendent light which turned into an array of lights that was tens of thousands of feet long before condensing into a phantom of a god! the god phantom was extremely terrifying. it raised its hand and bombarded the terrifying patriarch lingshe! in an instant, it smashed the other party to the ground, causing countless web-like cracks to appear on the ground. qin chen revealed a faint smile. in his opinion, this was all the terrifying patriarch lingshe could do. even though the other party had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm for many years, his strength still couldn¡¯t compare to the taiji divine spirit stele in his hand. patriarch lingshe made his move. countless terrifying auras gathered around him as he started burning his blood essence. he also realized that the magic item unleashed by the human cultivator was extraordinary, and if he was not careful, he might die. thinking of this, the terrifying patriarch lingshe attacked with all his might. no matter what, he vowed to eliminate qin chen and the others. however, before that, he needed to destroy the god phantom in front of him. at this moment, qin chen was already prepared to make his move. no matter what, he believed in the taiji divine spirit stele¡¯s power. it should not be a problem for it to kill a mere quasi-emperor-realm expert. everyone¡¯s hearts were at their throats as they watched the god phantom unleash its strength and fight crazily against patriarch lingshe. just the aftershocks of the battle had already destroyed a mountain and evaporated a river. one could imagine how much of a threat qin chen and the others would face if they were in the middle of the storm. even qin chen with the supreme heavenly origin armor might not be able to withstand such terrifying attacks. qin chen made his move. he believed that patriarch lingshe would definitely not be a match for the god phantom. he once again felt the fluctuations of the taiji divine spirit stele, which seemed to have established a deep connection with him at this moment. he fully activated the taiji divine spirit stele, and a taiji symbol suddenly appeared under patriarch lingshe¡¯s feet. patriarch lingshe¡¯s hair stood on end. he did not know what was going on. could it be that this was brought by the god emperor and other human cultivators in front of him? in his opinion, this human cultivator¡¯s attack was enough to threaten his life. even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to escape.. Chapter 740 - Chapter 740: Patriarch Lingshe Escapes chapter 740: patriarch lingshe escapes translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio at this point, patriarch lingshe unleashed another terrifying attack, but the taiji under his feet still seemed to be constantly draining his power. his power was absorbed into the taiji pattern and entered the body of the god phantom instead. as the power of the god phantom increased, the pressure it emitted became even more terrifying. the god phantom faced patriarch lingshe head-on. the latter was extremely furious. he could feel that his situation was becoming increasingly precarious. back when he found out that qin chen and the others had killed his son, he was determined to make the latter pay with blood. he had thought that it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death, but unexpectedly, they were extremely powerful and he had been caught off guard, at a loss for how to deal with them. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t give him any time to think. immediately after, the god phantom once again threw a whistling fist at patriarch lingshe. one had to know that this was a punch that contained the power of rules, and the god phantom was in the quasi-emperor realm, which made the rules it controlled even more terrifying. in addition, it had absorbed quite a bit of patriarch lingshe¡¯s power, making itself stronger. patriarch lingshe decided to send qin chen and the others to hell. otherwise, it was very likely that he would die at their hands. qin chen attacked the terrifying patriarch lingshe once more. the god phantom transformed into a hundred thousand feet long multicolored light as it rushed toward the patriarch lingshe. the resplendent light obviously carried an incomparably terrifying might. if it hit patriarch lingshe head-on, he would definitely be severely injured. patriarch lingshe immediately transformed into his true form, a giant snake covered in scars. it opened its huge mouth and spat out its tongue before biting down on the light. this was a battle in the quasi-emperor realm, after all. any passing second of the battle was filled with countless dangers. a single flaw could cause one of them to die immediately. qin chen and the others saw that the terrifying patriarch lingshe was no longer as powerful as before. he was becoming weaker and weaker. the terrifying divine light had clearly severely injured him, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood. his aura became dispirited and his face turned pale. at this point, he had transformed back into his human form and was staring at qin chen and the others. ¡°who are you? what kind of background do you have?¡± to patriarch lingshe, the strength of qin chen and the others was simply too terrifying, causing him to feel a deep sense of dread. even if he used all his strength, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to compare to them. then, patriarch lingshe used a secret technique to break free from the taiji symbol under his feet. he could feel that the strange taiji pattern had been drawing away his power, causing him to be far from his peak state. he might die if this went on. qin chen laughed out loud in his heart as if he was already seeing the death of patriarch lingshe due to the taiji divine spirit stele. unfortunately, patriarch lingshe had an escape-type supernormal knowledge. he faced the god phantom head-on and charged forward! before patriarch lingshe could react, he was heavily injured. with that, he fell to the ground powerlessly, causing everyone to be pleasantly surprised. could it be that patriarch lingshe was dead? unexpectedly, patriarch lingshe didn¡¯t die, instead, he turned into a bloody light and disappeared what was left on the ground was an empty skin. looking at the shed skin, qin chen and the others felt regret. to think they had let patriarch lingshe escape. if patriarch lingshe hadn¡¯t managed to escape, perhaps they would have killed him by now. patriarch lingshe had been severely injured in this battle. it would take a long time for him to recover to his peak state. in a short time, he would no longer be able to pose a threat to qin chen and the others. this was what qin chen and the others wanted. even if they couldn¡¯t kill patriarch lingshe, they could make him powerless and unable to come to find trouble with them any time soon. thinking of this, qin chen looked at the snakeskin on the ground. this was the snakeskin of a quasi-emperor. if it could be refined into a magic weapon, it would definitely be extremely powerful. thinking of this, qin chen put away the snakeskin on the ground. he had thus obtained a good material that may be of use in the future. if patriarch lingshe knew that the snakeskin he left behind would be used by qin chen to refine a magic item, he would surely be extremely furious. it was a pity that he was currently heavily injured and could not care less about what qin chen was doing. this time, qin chen had beaten fear into him. patriarch lingshe could never have imagined that these few god emperor and god venerable-realm cultivators could force him into such a sorry state. god knows what origins the other party had. they were so terrifying that he almost lost his life there. patriarch lingshe couldn¡¯t bother to find trouble with qin chen and the others at this point. he knew that qin chen had a terrifying magic item. if he forced the latter into a corner, it may result in the other party taking that terrifying magic item out in a moment of desperation, which would end up with him not being a match for the other party at all. it was very likely that he would lose his life. therefore, the most important thing for him now was to heal his injuries. after forcing the terrifying patriarch lingshe away, qin chen revealed a smile. the other party was already severely injured, so he would surely not find trouble with them in a short time. in the meantime, they could find cultivation resources in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground to make themselves stronger, that being said, things wouldn¡¯t be so simple next time. patriarch lingshe already knew that qin chen and the others had trump cards, so perhaps he would appear again with other quasi-emperor demon race experts next time. if that were the case, qin chen and the others would be in real danger. after all, qin chen had already used his only trump card. still, although he didn¡¯t have the taiji divine spirit stele anymore, he had let patriarch lingshe know that they weren¡¯t to be trifled with. however, the next time they encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor, qin chen and the others would have no chance of escaping. that was why qin chen wanted to become stronger. god knows when they would meet a terrifying existence again. as long as they had found enough cultivation resources, they would leave this forbidden ground, then find a place to hide and improve their cultivation. there was not much time left for them now.. Chapter 741 - Chapter 741: Lotus Flower chapter 741: lotus flower translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen immediately led everyone away. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground clearly hid a big secret. he did not expect that there would be a statue of a human cultivator here. maybe, god knows how many years ago, the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground might even have been a sect or an orthodoxy of the human race. who could tell for sure? the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had countless natural treasures that could be used for cultivation. therefore, it could be imagined that this place was definitely a blessed ground in the past. at this moment, qin chen and the others had already set off once again. they encountered many human cultivators in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground who were currently fighting with the experts of the demon race. their battles were extremely fierce. blood dyed the ground red as it was littered with corpses. this was enough to explain the cruelty of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. if an ordinary cultivator entered here, it was very likely that they would lose their lives and never be able to leave alive. qin chen¡¯s eyes were bright though. he knew that this was the best time to fish in troubled waters. since most of the human experts were fighting with the demon race, it gave them a chance to stay and take advantage of the loopholes. the more chaotic it was, the more advantageous it would be for qin chen and the others. thinking of this, qin chen led the group and sneaked in a direction, killing all the powerful demons they encountered along the way. as long as no quasi-emperor-realm experts attacked them, their lives wouldn¡¯t be in danger. if they encountered the aura fluctuations of a quasi-emperor realm demon, they would take the initiative to retreat and go around. they would choose not to meet the other party head-on because if that happened, they would surely die, qin chen brought everyone to a tall mountain that was emitting an aura. it was very likely that a peerless and terrifying demon was here. in that case, there must be some rare treasures on the mountain that could help them break through. thinking of this, qin chen and the others immediately made their moves. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡¯ following qin chen¡¯s roar, everyone hurriedly followed him and charged toward the mountain. as they expected, there was indeed a terrifyingly powerful demon race expert guarding the mountain. fortunately, the other party was only in the god venerable realm. if they were to fight, qin chen and the others would not be afraid of it at all. after all, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were both god venerable realm experts. the god venerable-realm demon guarding the mountain was very angry. it knew why qin chen and the others were here. it was for the sake of the peerless natural treasures it was guarding. only treasures could tempt these greedy human cultivators. the demon had been guarding the peerless natural treasure for a hundred years, and it was finally about to mature. unexpectedly, human cultivators would come over and want to take it. faced with such a situation, even the weaker demons would feel enraged. as such, the demon race expert began to make a move against qin chen and the others. to the demon race expert, there was no need for it to leave them alive. killing them should not take too much effort. only by killing qin chen and the others could the demon race expert leave with the peerless natural treasure here. otherwise, it may be hunted down by the other party. ¡°roar! roar! roar!¡± the god venerable-realm ape roared at qin chen and the others. it was fearless of the two god venerable-realm experts, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. it charged toward them! if daoist jiuji was still around, it wouldn¡¯t take too much effort to kill the god venerable-realm ape. unfortunately, the former had taken the initiative to leave. therefore, qin chen and the others could only deal with the ape themselves. as the flame-wing beast and the true dragon made their moves, the terrifying god venerabl-realm ape felt immense pressure. at that point, it wasn¡¯t sure if it could deal with the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, after all, the other party was in the same realm. if they fought, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. faced with the joint attack of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the god venerable-realm ape was heavily injured even though it was unwilling. the ape knew that if it continued to stay, it would likely lose its life. therefore, it did not dare to stay any longer and immediately fled. qin chen and the others were surprised to see the god venerable-realm ape flee on its own initiative. normally, when a demon race expert met a human expert, they would fight to the death. to think the other party was scared out of its wits and fled instead. in fact, it was because the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were too powerful. they had, after all, refined countless natural treasures. it was understandable that their strength had become powerful. the god venerable realm ape could not hold on against the combined attacks of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. as such, when it felt that its life was in danger, it made a decision without hesitation to escape. qin chen smiled and led everyone forward. then. they saw a peerless natural treasure ahead. qin chen made his move and took the natural treasure. it was a lotus flower with six petals, which meant qin chen and the others could each get a petal coincidentally. feeling the aura released by the lotus, qin chen and the others were pleasantly surprised. it seemed that this was indeed a peerless natural treasure. if it was in the outside world, it would¡¯ve been priceless. then, qin chen divided the lotus into six halves and gave a portion to everyone, allowing them to cultivate and break through past their current realm. unfortunately, after the lotus flower was split into six parts, its effects had been greatly reduced. it could no longer help qin chen and the others break through. therefore, if they wanted to break through, they would need more peerless natural treasures. only in this way could they become stronger and survive. following this, qin chen began to refine his lotus flower petal, although he didn¡¯t know the name of the natural treasure, he knew that the petal in his hand was priceless and extremely rare. after qin chen refined the flower petal, his strength became incomparably powerful. only in this way could they survive.. Chapter 742 - Chapter 742: One- Eyed Flood Dragon chapter 742: one- eyed flood dragon translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio soon, qin chen swallowed and refined the petal, allowing his strength to make a full breakthrough. although the improvement the petal brought was not as fast as the more precious natural treasures he had obtained previously, this was already the most precious thing that he could find now. he would increase his strength as much as he could. as qin chen¡¯s cultivation increased, the others also refined and devoured their portion of the flower, increasing their cultivation. they were still too weak to fight against terrifying quasi-emperors. if this continued, they would very likely die. this was, after all, the demon race¡¯s forbidden. god knows how many terrifying peerless demons were around. if they were to accidentally encounter even one of them, the outcome was quite apparent. one had to know that qin chen no longer had any trump cards since the taiji divine spirit stele had already been used to fight against the terrifying peak quasi-emperor-realm patriarch lingshe. currently, qin chen had no chance of surviving if they encountered a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence. qin chen then looked at the crowd, and everyone looked back at him with determination in their eyes. they would believe whatever qin chen chose to do. they believed that as long as they followed him, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. following this, qin chen led the group and continued to move forward. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had unknown numbers of peerless natural treasures. if they could get their hands on those many natural treasures, they could surely make themselves stronger. qin chen advanced with the others, arriving at a place filled with weeds. looking at the weeds here, in chen and the others felt a terrifying fluctuation. the terrifying fluctuations were clearly emitted by a terrifying existence ahead. perhaps there was a god venerable-realm demon race expert. at the same time, it also showed that there was a peerless natural treasure ahead. qin chen gave the order and led everyone to charge forward. as long as they didn¡¯t encounter any quasi-emperors in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, their lives wouldn¡¯t be in danger. therefore, they were quite brazen. they wanted to harvest the cultivation resources in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground crazily. there were no rules here. if there had to be one, it would be the law of the jungle where the strong preyed on the weak. as long as one was strong enough and had hard fists, no one could resist one¡¯s attacks. thinking up to this point, qin chen immediately charged forward. he used the moving secret technique, and his speed became as fast as a stream of light. with this, even an ordinary god venerable could only barely match his speed. they advanced and tore through the void. in front of them was a powerful existence, a one-eyed flood dragon. the one-eyed flood dragon was extremely terrifying as its aura was already close to level 8 of the god venerable realm. ¡°why are you humans here? could it be that you have a death wish?¡± the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon spoke, intending to exterminate qin chen and the others. after all, if it let them live, it might die. there was a powerful peerless natural treasure here. as long as they could refine the natural treasure, qin chen and the others would be able to improve their cultivation by a lot. unfortunately, the one-eyed flood dragon was guarding the treasure. ¡°you want the natural treasure? over my dead body!¡± this time, qin chen and the others had encountered a tough opponent who was extremely powerful and stubborn. ¡°attack! ¡± qin chen gave the flame-wing beast and the true dragon a concise order. no matter what, he couldn¡¯t let the terrifying flood dragon live. since the other party had already said words of provocation to provoke them into attacking him, they wouldn¡¯t show mercy. with this, the flaming winged beast and the true dragon attacked, wanting to destroy the terrifying one-eyed dragon. unexpectedly, the one-eyed flood dragon was hiding its strength. it stared at qin chen and the others and landed its gaze on qin chen. its poisonous snake-like gaze locked onto him. qin chen immediately felt as if he was being held at knifepoint. he could not let the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon come near because that would be too dangerous. he was unable to withstand the attack of a quasi-emperor. nor could he withstand the attack of the level 8 god venerable-realm one-eyed flood dragon. unfortunately, the one-eyed flood dragon was very smart. it knew to capture the leader first. as long as it could take qin chen down, the others probably wouldn¡¯t attack it anymore. then, it charged straight at the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon was extremely powerful. it wouldn¡¯t just let qin chen stand by idly and watch. when the flame-wing beast and the true dragon saw the one-eyed flood dragon take the initiative to attack, they were extremely fearful. one had to know that there were four levels between them and the one-eyed flood dragon. although they had refined countless natural treasures and were far stronger than ordinary level four god venerable-realm experts, they were still unable to defeat the one-eyed flood dragon, who was at level 8 of the god venerable realm. a long saber appeared in the hand of the one-eyed flood dragon. with a slash, the void was torn apart, and it arrived in front of qin chen! before the flame-wing beast and the true dragon could come to their senses, their instinct was to look at qin chen. qin chen was extremely terrified. after all, the opponent was a level 8 god venerable-realm expert! god knows if his supreme heavenly origin armor could resist the other party¡¯s attack or not. without a choice, qin chen charged toward the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon. unexpectedly, he was sent flying, rules of heaven and earth seemed to be condensed on the one-eyed flood dragon¡¯s saber. it was extremely terrifying. the supreme heavenly origin armor on qin chen¡¯s body flickered with a dazzling light as he was sent flying. he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. at this point, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon arrived. the two hurriedly joined forces and decided to take care of this terrifying one-eyed flood dragon. the elder king was already heavily injured. qin chen had been smashed into the ground, leaving behind a huge pit. he instantly felt as if he couldn¡¯t sense his cultivation. why was this so? the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon had disappeared once again as well. no one knew where it had gone. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately roared, ¡°don¡¯t let it get close to the elder king!¡± Chapter 743 - Chapter 743: Meteor Ghost Moon Blood Essence chapter 743: meteor ghost moon blood essence translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio once the one-eyed flood dragon got close to the elder king again, the consequences would be hard to say. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately charged over. they must not let the one-eyed flood dragon get close to qin chen. before qin chen could react, he felt a terrifying killing intent descending and immediately frowned. if he was hit by an attack again, he did not know if he could withstand it. after all, the terrifying god venerable-realm existence would not let him off. the one-eyed flood dragon¡¯s body flashed and reappeared in front of qin chen, wanting to attack the latter. qin chen smiled bitterly. he didn¡¯t know why the one-eyed flood dragon was targeting him, but he attempted to dodge instantly. fortunately, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon arrived at this moment. the two were also terrifying existences in the god venerable realm. as such, it was relatively easy for them to stop the one-eyed flood dragon. the flame-wing beast spat out a terrifying flame that burned through the void. even a star would probably turn into ashes if it were burned for a long time. such was the flame-wing beast¡¯s current power. the one-eyed flood dragon let out a sinister laugh and slashed out with its saber. in an instant, the terrifying flames were cut in half and couldn¡¯t hurt him at all. such was the strength of the one-eyed flood dragon. qin chen and the others were shocked. how terrifying! the true dragon also attacked at the same time, wanting to block the opponent¡¯s terrifying attack. after all, it couldn¡¯t let this attack land on qin chen just like that. at this moment, qin chen¡¯s heart trembled and he inexplicable seemed to sense a fluctuation coming from below. underground! qin chen looked down and indeed saw a mysterious object that was faintly emitting a weak light. he let out a breath and immediately smashed his fist down heavily. however, the ground was extremely hard. qin chen had no choice but to use the innate sword embryo in his hand to open up the ground. after that, he entered the ground and continued to drill down. unexpectedly, there were powerful divinity remnants in the ground! just as qin chen drilled down, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his ears. he seemed to have dug up something. it was a piece of iron! the piece of iron seemed to have been left behind by some kind of existence. then, the system¡¯s voice echoed in qin chen¡¯s ears. [ding, dong!] [weak divinity remnants have been found here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] no matter how much qin chen thought about it, he had never thought that he would find something left behind by a powerful divinity here! how was this possible? no matter how unbelievable qin chen found it, he could only accept reality. if it wasn¡¯t for the terrifying level 8 god venerable-realm one-eyed flood dragon injuring him, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to find this piece of iron that contained remnants of powerful divinity. immediately after, qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement as he said, ¡°check in!¡± [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in to the natural disaster meteor. you have received the reward, meteor ghost moon blood essence!] [meteor ghost moon blood essence: a one-time consumable. refined by a terrifying existence, it can allow the host to have quasi-emperor-realm combat strength for a short time. it is extremely terrifying. the only cost is that the host will be weak for some time and might even faint after using it.] hearing this, qin chen immediately understood how heaven-defying the meteor ghost moon blood essence was. to think it could all him to possess quasi-emperor-realm combat power! one had to know that it was not easy to reach the quasi-emperor realm. yet now, qin chen only needed to use the meteor ghost moon blood essence to possess such terrifying combat strength. he almost went crazy with ecstasy! how amazing! he had never heard of such a terrifying thing. it had such a heaven-defying effect. immediately after, a drop of blood essence that was emitting a terrifying aura appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. god knows how this blood essence was refined. qin chen looked at the meteor ghost moon blood essence in his hand. this should be something that an existence close to the level of an ancient great emperor had spent a great deal of effort to refine. moreover, the item should have some kind of restriction. however, the system only said that it would make qin chen fall into a weak state for some time, and there was a possibility that he would faint after using it. as such, there shouldn¡¯t be any other side effects. then, qin chen kept the terrifying blood essence. if he stayed down here, god knows what would happen above. he smiled and looked into the distance before returning to the ground. he had unexpectedly obtained another trump card. with the meteor ghost moon blood essence, he could fight against the quasi-emperor-realm terrifying existences. even if that terrifying patriarch lingshe were to come again, qin chen wouldn¡¯t have anything to fear. thinking of this, qin chen looked at the one-eyed flood dragon. unfortunately, the meteor ghost moon blood essence could only be used once. if he could use it a few more times, he would¡¯ve killed the one-eyed flood dragon himself. now that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had joined forces, the terrifying one-eyed flood dragon could no longer be as arrogant as he had been before. under the combined attacks of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the one-eyed flood dragon¡¯s arrogance was almost extinguished. it then looked at qin chen. to think this human cultivator dared to show up again. however, the one-eyed flood dragon was currently unable to split its attention. it was impossible for it to kill its way over as the flame-wing beast and the true dragon tightly surrounded it. the one-eyed flood dragon simply couldn¡¯t charge over. qin chen appeared once again with a smile. with the strength of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the one-eyed flood dragon would eventually die here. ¡°what a terrifying aura!¡± the one-eyed flood dragon was very sharp. it could feel that qin chen¡¯s body was now emitting a terrifying aura that made it extremely fearful. it did not know what was going on. one had to know that only the quasi-emperor-realm terrifying existences could make it feel fearful.. could it be that there was something on this human cultivator¡¯s body that could match the aura of a quasi-emperor-realm existence? Chapter 744 - Chapter 744: Drag! chapter 744: drag! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio even though the one-eyed flood dragon was at level 8 of the god venerable realm, it was extremely fearful when it sensed the terrifying aura from qin chen. it didn¡¯t have any power to contend with the other party. facing a life-threatening terrifying aura, the one-eyed dragon was extremely wary and afraid. it did not want to die at the hands of these weaklings. after all, if it could continue to cultivate, it might have a chance to become a quasi-emperor one day. but now, they had almost no other way. qin chen looked at the one-eyed flood dragon, and a faint smile appeared on his face. seeing this, the one-eyed dragon was even more terrified as it did not have any way to deal with the terrifying human. following this, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon hurriedly followed up their victory with hot pursuit. once one had the thought of giving up, they would ultimately do so. this was exactly what the one-eyed flood dragon was doing. it was already prepared to run away as it couldn¡¯t just let itself die here. qin chen laughed when he saw the terrifying demon race expert actually run away. the terrifying demon race expert, who was at level 8 of the god venerable realm, disappeared without a trace. in fact, qin chen had no intention of using the meteor ghost moon blood essence on the one-eyed flood dragon. after the other party fled, qin chen and the others immediately began to search the area. the one-eyed flood dragon was a very powerful existence, after all. as such, the natural treasure it guarded was surely very precious. at this point, the one-eyed flood dragon had escaped, leaving behind the natural treasure. if it knew that even a terrifying quasi-emperor like patriarch lingshe had been defeated by qin chen, how could it have the guts to fight qin chen and the others? that was simply courting death. finally, qin chen and the others saw a bunch of fruits not far away. the bunch of fruits hung on a vine, emitting a faint light. the glowing light made t seem like the most precious thing in the world. qin chen smiled. he looked straight at the bunch of fruits and took them into his hand. there were a total of ten fruits, and they seemed to be very powerful as qin chen and the others could feel some pure energy in the fruits. immediately after, qin chen distributed the fruits. then, he swallowed and refined his portion of the fruits. it did not take too long for his realm to soar, but if he wanted to break through, it would probably need more time. the others were like qin chen, making themselves stronger. what they hoped for the most now was to increase their strength. after all, the dangers they would encounter in the future would be even more terrifying. qin chen looked at everyone. without much effort, they had also become stronger. if they wanted to break through to the next realm, they would need more natural treasures. otherwise, they would not be able to break through. right now, they needed to be stronger. qin chen walked forward step by step, and everyone followed him. at some point, he stopped and looked into the distance. a figure suddenly appeared. it was a level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert. at that moment, its body was covered in blood and its eyes were filled with killing intent. there were countless corpses by its feet, which belonged to human cultivators. it seemed that this demon race expert had killed countless humans. ¡°damned humans! come on!¡± the terrifying level 9 god venerable expert charged straight toward qin chen and the others. before the latter could react, it had already arrived before them. qin chen immediately sent a voice transmission to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. this was not an ordinary existence, but a level 9 god venerable realm demon race expert. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were only at level 4 of the god venerable realm. as such, their pressure could be imagined now that they were faced with this demon race expert. but now, they could only kill their way through. they had to kill this demon race expert. only then could they survive. as qin chen made his move, the demon race expert seemed to be on the verge of going berserk. it was fixated on killing all the human cultivators it saw as it believed that it could only live on if all these damn human cultivators died. as the flame-wing beast and the true dragon made their moves as well, the demon race expert was stopped. then, a terrifying rule attack hit the demon race expert. at this point, this demon race expert had already gone berserk and no one could stop it. it was the most terrifying existence in the world, and it wanted to kill qin chen and the others. ¡°die!¡± the terrifying demon race expert roared angrily, withstanding the powerful rule attack. then, it slashed out with its saber, wanting to cut the flame-wing beast and the true dragon into two. it had never expected that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were not ordinary level-4 god venerables. instead, they were even more terrifying as they simply dodged the attack. ¡°it¡¯s already at the end of its rope! kill!¡± the crowd immediately charged over. at this moment, the demon race expert was already on the verge of collapse faced with the joint attacks of the terrifying flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the terrifying demon race expert was forced back a few steps. qin chen looked at the terrifying demon race expert. although the other party was at level 9 of the god venerable realm, it was not necessarily the time to use his only trump card. now, with everyone working together, they should be able to destroy this terrifying demon race expert. immediately, qin chen sent a voice transmission to the flame-wing beast and the true dragon and said, ¡°drag it out! as long as we can do that, this guy would definitely not be able to hold on.¡± now, they only needed to kill the other party slowly. they believed that even a level 9 god venerable-realm demon would not be able to withstand it. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon looked at each other. they did not need to defeat this terrifying existence head-on. as long as they dragged the battle out, the other party would be exhausted in the end. at that time, they could kill it easily. at the thought of this, everyone laughed. at least for now, they could resist this terrifying demon race expert. as long as they maintained the current situation, they would naturally have the last laugh. it was obvious that the terrifying demon race expert realized that its strength was weakening. to think it was unable to kill these god emperor-realm cultivators and was even held back by the joint forces of two god venerable-realm cultivators. it might not even have a chance of survival. if this continued, the possibility of it dying here was very high. then, this terrifying demon race expert roared angrily.. Chapter 745 - Chapter 745: Slaying a Level 9 God Venerable-realm Expert chapter 745: slaying a level 9 god venerable-realm expert translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the demon race expert was a god venerable-realm, after all. even if a few more experts came, they might not be its match. but now, it was already an arrow at the end of its flight. if it could not kill these guys, its situation would be dangerous. following that, the terrifying level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert prepared to leave. it was useless to continue to stay here. it had just experienced a huge battle, so its body was covered in wounds and its strength had also decreased greatly. if it were to fight again, what kind of consequences would it bring? the outcome of the battle with qin chen and the others was naturally self-evident. thinking of this, qin chen and the others decided to act quickly. ¡°we can¡¯t let him escape!¡¯ qin chen commands the flame-wing beast and the true dragon to chase after the terrifying level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert. no one had expected that the level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert would be hunted by qin chen. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon joined forces to unleash all kinds of terrifying rule attacks. in their opinion, as long as they could make the terrifying existence stay, that alone was stronger than anything else. after all, the level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert was already heavily injured, and its strength had decreased greatly. this was a good opportunity to kill it. if they missed this chance, they might very well have missed a golden opportunity. qin chen and the others saw the terrifying demon race expert trying to break out of the encirclement, putting in a lot of effort to escape from the hands of the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. unfortunately, the latter two were not weak and stopped him. soon, the injuries on the demon race expert¡¯s body became increasingly serious. its aura rapidly became dispirited. it knew that it might die here soon. with this, the demon race expert crazily burned its blood essence, deciding to put up a last fight. if it could not kill qin chen and the others, it would most likely not be able to escape. taking advantage of the fact that it still had some strength, it was better to give it one last try than to drag on like this. following this, the terrifying demon race expert attacked the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, putting its life on the line to escape from the hands of the two. at this point, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon unleashed their full strength as well. the two of them joined forces to surround and kill the demon race expert, firmly controlling the other party. as a result, the level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert couldn¡¯t leave even if it wanted to. qin chen started laughing. it was as if he could already see the god venerable-realm demon race expert die in their hands. even if this demon race expert wanted to live, it was destined to fail. looking at the terrifying attacks of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon, the others felt extremely invigorated and glad. fortunately, they had followed qin chen. otherwise, who knew how long it would take them to reach their current realm? that terrifying demon race expert had no time to care about qin chen and the others. currently, it had been seriously injured and increasing numbers of injuries were appearing on its body. there were even serious injuries that were so deep that one could see its bones. blood gushed out from those injuries. in the end, the level 9 god venerable-realm demon let out an angry roar. divine power appeared on its body. it was apparent that it wanted to kill its way out. its attitude was completely different from back when it was looking down on qin chen and the others and wanted to kill them. now, it only wanted to escape as long as one was still alive, there would be hope. it was better to escape. as long as it could survive, it could cultivate back to its peak state sooner or later and take revenge on qin chen and the others. in contrast, if it died like this and lost its life, it would no longer be able to live and it would have nothing. unknowingly, the terrifying demon race expert had suffered many injuries. at this point, it had already used all its strength, but it was still unable to break through the true dragon and the flame-wing beast¡¯s blockade. if this continued, only death awaited it. it was very likely that this would be its burial ground. qin chen kept his eyes on the terrifying demon race expert, setting up many arrays to trap the latter. as long as he could get rid of this terrifying demon race expert, he might be able to obtain some natural treasures. after all, such a powerful demon race expert must have a lot of natural treasures. the demon race expert did have natural treasures. however, it didn¡¯t want to refine them because if it did, it wouldn¡¯t have the time to deal with qin chen and the others. therefore, all it could do now was force itself to endure. the arrays that qin chen had set up bombarded the god venerable-realm demon race expert. qin chen had seized these arrays from the hands of his past enemies. now, they had come in handy. they trapped the demon race expert here and became the last straw that could suppress the level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert. immediately after, everyone could see that the demon race expert seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. the injuries on its body continued to worsen, making it even more agitated. perhaps it would not take long for this demon race expert to die here. one had to know that this was a super expert at level 9 of the god venerable realm. if they could kill the other party, its significance could be imagined. after all, this demon race expert was only a step away from the quasi-emperor realm. it might¡¯ve been able to morph and break through to the quasi-emperor realm soon. unfortunately, it was now besieged by qin chen and the others. if it couldn¡¯t escape, a future quasi-emperor would be killed in the cradle. as qin chen and the others¡¯ attacks became increasingly frequent, the demon race expert who was struggling to hold on suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. most of the pressure it emitted had dissipated. it could not hold on any longer. in one instant, it revealed a flaw and was ultimately knocked down by the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. at this moment, it fell and could no longer stand up. the aura on its body weakened. clearly, it could not hold on for too long. one had to take advantage of the opponent¡¯s weakness! the flame-wing beast and the true dragon immediately joined forces and unleashed their most terrifying attack on the demon race expert, beheading the latter. in the end, the headless corpse fell to the ground powerlessly, no longer moving. at this point, the level 9 god venerable-realm demon had been killed by qin chen and the others. then, qin chen walked up to the terrifying demon race expert¡¯s corpse looking at the already dead demon race expert, he could not help but feel quite emotional.. Chapter 746 - Chapter 746: Die! chapter 746: die! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the demon race expert had only been a step away from the quasi-emperor realm. perhaps it wouldn¡¯t have been long before another terrifying quasi-emperor emerged in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. unfortunately, it was dead now. no matter how heaven-defying a genius was, if he died on the road of growth, then he could not be called a genius. immediately after, qin chen took the storage ring off the hand of this terrifying demon race expert. he opened the storage ring to take a look, and there was indeed a peerless natural treasure within. it was a bright red fruit that emitted a spiritual glow and was clearly extraordinary. one could imagine its medicinal effects, let alone the fact that it was in the demon races forbidden ground. qin chen didn¡¯t have the time to distinguish what the natural treasure was and how precious it was. he took out the innate sword embryo and divided it into six portions. everyone immediately consumed and refined their respective portions at the same time. some time passed and they were almost done refining it. they felt that their realms seemed to have increased a little, and they had become even stronger. if this continued) it wouldn¡¯t be long before they would break through. at that time, they would have a better chance of surviving even when facing terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences. although they had killed a level 9 god venerable-realm demon, they did not feel complacent. after all, the other party¡¯s strength had decreased greatly, which was why they had the chance to kill him. otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to deal with it. thinking up to this point, qin chen laughed. perhaps if he continued to search for peerless natural treasures in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, he would be able to raise his strength to the god venerable realm. although he was only at level 4 of the god emperor realm now, such a feat was not unimaginable. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had countless peerless natural treasures. as long as he could obtain them, he believed that his breakthrough speed would be extremely fast. god knows how long it would take him to return to the nine heavens and ten lands if he continued like this. who knows what kind of chaos there would be in the current cosmic? not to mention that qin chen had many enemies there. if he didn¡¯t get rid of those enemies, he wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep or eat in peace. qin chen smiled. perhaps it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could find the traces of the five-colored altar again. at that time, he would be able to return. however, before that, he had to increase his strength first. after all, his current realm was really too weak. there was still a long way to go before he could escape from the hands of those terrifying quasi-emperor-realm experts. if he did not have any trump cards, he would die if he encountered danger. along the way, qin chen experienced many things. he had killed many high and mighty quasi-emperor-realm existences. those existences were only a milliliter away from reaching the ancient great emperor realm. every single peerless figure in the quasi-emperor realm possessed a formidable strength. qin chen was only able to kill them because he had countless trump cards. at this point, qin chen once again wanted to find places with powerful divinity remnants. only by doing so could he use the system to check in and obtain powerful trump cards. in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, where experts were as common as clouds, there were countless quasi-emperor-realm existences, all extremely terrifying. qin chen might not be able to escape and die at the hands of the other party. although he now had the meteor ghost moon blood essence, this did not mean that he could rest easy. after all, the meteor ghost moon blood essence could only be used once. what would he do if he encountered a few more quasi-emperor-realm existence? moreover, patriarch lingshe had escaped previously. even the taiji divine spirit stele couldn¡¯t stop the other party. if that terrifying patriarch lingshe were to come and kill him again, qin chen could also guess that the other party would surely bring many experts along. perhaps there would be more than one quasi-emperor then. at that time, what would qin chen use to stop them? therefore, when he thought of this, he was eager to make himself stronger. on the one hand, qin chen searched for powerful divinity remnants. on the other hand, he was also constantly looking for places with peerless natural treasures. on the other side, the red-clothed woman fell into a bitter battle. behind her were countless corpses of demon race experts lying on the ground. blood stained the ground. her body carried a heavy murderous aura. ever since she came to the demon races forbidden ground, even the quasi-emperor-realm guardian of the ji family couldn¡¯t manage to save her every time. as such, the red-dressed woman was engaged in dangerous combat many times, which caused her to suffer many injuries. ¡°die!¡± her red dress had long been stained with an unknown amount of blood. at this moment. she was almost exhausted. however, there was still a powerful enemy in front of her. the other party was a god venerable-realm demon race expert whose strength did not seem to have decreased much. the demon race expert stared at the red-clothed woman, wanting to give her a fatal blow. but how could the red-clothed woman be so easily injured? she was, after all, the apple of the ji family¡¯s eye. she had so many defensive magic items that even quasi-emperor-realm experts would find it hard to kill her. the ji family¡¯s guardian had been secretly watching the red-clothed woman in case anything happened to her. after all, she was his master, and if his master died, the ji family would certainly blame him. he was a guardian of the ji family, to begin with, so he knew how powerful the ji family was. if that happened, no matter where he ran to, death would be imminent. at this moment, the red-clothed woman was becoming increasingly mad. the sword in her hand seemed to be extremely fast as she charged straight toward the demon race expert. unfortunately, the other party was no ordinary being. to be able to reach the god venerable realm, it had clearly experienced many trials of blood and fire. the killing skills that it had comprehended through life and death situations were naturally not something that someone who had grown up sheltered like the red-clothed woman could compare to. the terrifying battle between the two quickly came to an end. this was because the demon race expert had discovered that something was wrong. it seemed to sense that an expert spying on them in the dark. therefore, it felt uneasy and fled.. Chapter 747 - Chapter 747: Troublemaker chapter 747: troublemaker translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio before the demon race expert could escape, it was enveloped by a terrifying psychokinesis power and instantly froze. it was also at this moment that the sword of the red-clothed woman pierced through its chest, instantly killing it. the demon race expert did not even have time to scream before it fell straight to the ground. in fact, even without the help of the ji family¡¯s guardian, the red-clothed woman would¡¯ve been able to kill the other party in no time. it was just that the former had secretly helped the red-clothed woman to suppress the demon race expert when he saw that the other party wanted to escape. after that, the red-clothed woman continued to look for demon race experts to kill. after all, in her eyes, all of them deserved to die. as long as she could kill one more demon expert, a few more of the ji family¡¯s disciples could live. the disciples of the ji family suffered countless casualties in their expedition this time. at this point, they had all learned why such a tragic battle had erupted. it was caused by qin chen. after all, only qin chen could attract those terrifying quasi-emperor-realm demon race experts. ¡°what a troublemaker.¡± even now, the red-clothed woman still hadn¡¯t found any traces of qin chen and the others although she had sent the ji family¡¯s men to search for them. she knew that once qin chen and the others were captured by the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences of the demon race, they would surely die. at that time, even god wouldn¡¯t be able to save qin chen¡¯s life. unfortunately, they hadn¡¯t found any clues about the other partyi s whereabouts these days. it was as if qin chen and the others had vanished into thin air in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. the experts of the demon race were also searching for traces of qin chen and the others. in their opinion, those reckless human cultivators must die! otherwise, where would they place their dignity? this battle was getting increasingly intense. god knows how many living beings died every day, including both humans and demons. it was even rumored that a terrifying quasi-emperor of the demon race had fallen a few days ago. however, no one knew if this news was true. even if it wasn¡¯t real, so what? the red-clothed woman only wanted to find the whereabouts of qin chen and the others. she believed that with her strength, she should be able to protect them. this was an obsession in her heart. qin chen had saved her once, so she had to repay him, and this was the time when she could help them. when the red-clothed woman learned that they had been forced into death underworld mountain by the thousand yin holy sect, she had been extremely furious. she had never thought that they would mysteriously come back to life. although she didn¡¯t know how they had managed to survive the underworld mountain and come here, now that they had gotten themselves into big trouble, they might die if she didn¡¯t make a move. this was the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. almost all the experts were from the demon camp. this was a place with countless experts that even the ji family feared. if one was not careful, even quasi-emperor-realm human experts might die this time, other than qin chen and the others, many geniuses and other human cultivators of the various major factions entered the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground as well. unfortunately, most of them were heavily injured at this point, and god knows how many geniuses were left. this made the human experts of the large factions extremely furious. they had sent the disciples of the various large factions and large sects here because they wanted these genius disciples to grow quickly. they didn¡¯t send them here to die in vain. the price to nurture a genius was incomparably huge. thinking of this, the human experts in the forbidden ground secretly killed a group of demon race experts as well. even the quasi-emperor-realm experts of the human race and the demon race had already started a fierce battle with each other. one should know that at the quasi-emperor level, it was very difficult to kill the opponent. at most, one could only defeat the opponent. at the same time, no one below the quasi-emperor realm could defeat a quasi-emperor. if the other side¡¯s quasi-emperor-realm experts attacked, it was hard to imagine how many of their disciples could survive. therefore, the red-robed woman was very worried about the safety of qin chen and the others. ¡°where did they go? why haven¡¯t we received any news yet? the disciples of the ji family can¡¯t seem to find any trace of them.¡± the red-clothed woman couldn¡¯t help but frown. had qin chen and the others been killed by the quasi-emperor-realm experts? if that was the case, it would make sense. after all, if such terrifying experts attacked, qin chen and the others would surely be killed. yet now, those experts of the demon race had no intention of stopping. they probably hadn¡¯t found qin chen and the others yet. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was huge. if qin chen and the others were to hide somewhere, attempting to find them would be no different from finding a needle in a haystack. therefore, the only thing the red-clothed woman could do now was to wait patiently for qin chen and the others to appear. as long as they appeared, she would immediately reveal her identity. only she could protect them. if it was anyone else, how could they resist the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground? as a last resort, the red-clothed woman could also ask the ji family to send more quasi-emperor-realm human experts over. however, the prerequisite was that she had to find qin chen and the others first. thinking of this, the red-clothed woman ordered the ji family disciples to continue searching for them. no matter what, she had to at least know whether they were dead or alive. besides, the red-clothed woman didn¡¯t believe that they would die in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. after all, they had come out of death underworld mountain alive. although she didn¡¯t know how qin chen and the others managed to come out of death underworld mountain alive, it proved that they weren¡¯t fated to die. they must have some big secrets. otherwise, how could they have survived until now? any ordinary person would have died long ago. besides, it was good news that the experts of the demon race hadn¡¯t found qin chen and the others. at the very least, it meant that they were still alive. perhaps not long after, they would come out on their own. at that time, she would be able to protect them and let them leave the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. as long as they left the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, she believed that no one should be able to threaten them.. Chapter 748 - Chapter 748: Found Them chapter 748: found them translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio thinking of this, the red-clothed woman smiled. the conviction in her heart became stronger, and she became even more terrifying in battle. it seemed that her swordsmanship had also improved. it was obvious that the moves she used to kill her enemies were the same set of sword techniques. the power of the sword techniques was terrifying. it should be some kind of ultimate technique of the ji family. even the guardian of the ji family couldn¡¯t help but feel envious. this red-clothed woman was an important figure in the ji family. once she grew up, she would surely step into the quasi-emperor realm. moreover, she had the support of her family. as such, she would perhaps become even more terrifying. soon, the red-clothed woman¡¯s sword technique was about to reach the major accomplishment stage. a single sword would have the power to pierce through the void. a trace of sword energy condensed. it was extremely sharp and seemed to be able to shatter the stars. one could imagine how terrifying the red-clothed woman was now. even among the god venerable-realm experts, few were her match. she was even more outstanding among those in the same realm. as time passed, qin chen and the others killed two more god venerable-realm experts and successfully obtained two peerless natural treasures. after refining those treasures, they felt that they seemed to be closer to the opportunity to break through. following this, qin chen led the group forward, wanting to obtain more natural treasures. with natural treasures, they would be able to become even stronger. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. as long as he could raise his realm and become stronger, he could still escape unscathed from quasi-emperors even if he didn¡¯t have any trump cards. at the very least, their chances of survival would be higher. at this moment, they saw a group of humans fighting with demons. seeing this, qin chen couldn¡¯t help but feel angry. these demon race experts were obviously looking for them. qin chen wouldn¡¯t just stand by and watch as his fellow humans fought the demon race. he would do his part. with that, qin chen had the flame-wing beast and the true dragon attack. the two were level 4 god venerable-realm experts. moreover, they were no ordinary god venerable-realm experts. with a single move, they quickly eliminated countless demon race experts. among those demon race experts were terrifying existences in the god venerable realm. when they saw the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, they were extremely excited. it was obvious that they had recognized the latter. these were the targets they had been searching for! if they could capture them two, they would be able to find the hiding place of those human cultivators. as long as they could bring qin chen and the others back and obtained the favor of a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence like patriarch lingshe, he might bestow upon them countless rewards. thinking of this, the god venerable-realm demon race experts attacked frenziedly. the other weak demon race experts were no longer that important in their eyes. they only wanted to take down the true dragon and the flame-wing beast. as long as they could do so, they would be able to curry favor with the quasi-emperor-realm patriarch lingshe. the other party would surely reward them as the greatest contributors. at the thought of this, the god venerable-realm demon race experts launched terrifying attacks at the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, wanting to take them down. the ji family disciples were equally excited. now that the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, two god venerable-realm experts, had joined in on the battle, the demon race experts were weaker in comparison. the leader of the group, ji zhongtian, recognized the true dragon and the fire-winged beast as well. they were the ones they had been searching for. their young miss had said that no matter what the price was, they had to find those people before the demons did. now that these two experts who were qin chen¡¯s followers had appeared, didn¡¯t that mean that they would be able to find qin chen and the others very soon? although they didn¡¯t know why the ji family¡¯s eldest young miss was looking for qin chen and the others, they did not hesitate to carry out the orders unconditionally. after much effort, they finally saw a glimmer of hope. but now, the most important thing now was to kill the terrifying demon race experts before them. after all, they could only survive if they finished off all these demon race experts. otherwise, they would die at the hands of the other party. qin chen and the others watched the battle from the side since their strength wasn¡¯t enough to support them against those demon race experts. if those demon race experts were to unleash their might, they might be injured. therefore, the remaining few chose not to join in the fun. if they tried to be all great now, they would be the ones at a disadvantage. this was the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. every day, a large number of living beings died. one could imagine how dangerous this place was. the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were god venerable- realm experts, so they probably would not lose their lives in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground if they went all out. therefore, qin chen trusted the two of them very much. as time passed, qin chen saw that the true dragon and the flame-wing beast had utterly defeated the opponents. these demon race experts had no choice but to split up and escape. unfortunately, they were surrounded by the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. in addition, there were two god venerable-realm human cultivators among the ji family disciples. after a round of fighting, the other party¡¯s defeat was certain. it was only a matter of time before they eliminated the demon race experts. in the end, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast joined forces to kill a god venerable-realm demon race expert. then, they did not interfere anymore and turned to leave. after all, there was only one demon race expert left, and the two god venerable-realm cultivators of the ji family should be enough to deal with it. with that, they returned to qin chen¡¯s side. the two god venerable-realm experts of the ji family did not have time to stop the flame-wing beast and the true dragon before they saw their figures disappear. among the demons before them, there was only one god venerable-realm demon left. under their combined efforts, the other party was quickly killed. the ji family had originally thought that there would be tragic casualties and even a possibility of annihilation, but now, they had only paid a small price of casualties to wipe out the demon race experts. more importantly, they had found traces of qin chen and the others. although they hadn¡¯t managed to make the other party stay, they could be sure that the latter was active in this area. ji zhongtian, the expert from the ji family, felt extremely regretful that they hadn¡¯t managed to let the other party stay even though they had already found them. ¡°found them!¡± Chapter 749 - Chapter 749: This Place Is Not Simple chapter 749: this place is not simple translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio if they could keep the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, they would¡¯ve been able to find qin chen very quickly. it was a pity that the two had already left and could no longer be seen. the only thing left on the ground was the corpses of the dead demon race experts. the ji family¡¯s experts regretted that they had missed this opportunity. when they passed the news to the red-clothed woman, she was very excited. ¡°what? could qin chen and the others have already appeared?¡± unfortunately, qin chen and the others had already disappeared. no one knew where they had gone. that being said, they could at least rule out many places in their general search range. as long as they continued to search in this area, they should be able to find them. right now, qin chen and the others arrived at a cave. he could sense a powerful demon in the cave. the other party must also be guarding a peerless treasure. as long as he could kill the demon race expert, he would be able to obtain the peerless treasure to increase his strength and realm. thinking of this, qin chen immediately laughed. if they continued at this pace, he believed that they would soon be able to break through their current realm. to become stronger, qin chen and the others constantly took risks. but if they were targeted by quasi-emperor demon race experts, they would be in big trouble. once they were delayed by the other party, who knew how many demon race experts would come over? perhaps patriarch lingshe would appear again. at that time, they would be in deep trouble. qin chen and the others entered the cave. it was dark as if there was nothing other than the aura of death. they could see countless skeletons. god knows how many of those bones were from human cultivators. the ground was also littered with scattered weapons and magic items. qin chen smiled as he was fearless no matter the circumstances. all this could only mean that the demon in this cave was very terrifying and had extraordinary strength. thinking up to this point, qin chen led everyone inside. there was no light in the cave, so qin chen released the green lotus demonic flame. the terrifying flames bloomed like a blooming green lotus, emitting a terrifying aura while moving forward. immediately after, qin chen saw countless patterns and blood on the walls of the cave. the blood looked as if it had just been smeared on the walls. it was hard to imagine how terrifying it was. puzzlement appeared on qin chen¡¯s face as he did not know how terrifying the demon here was to actually cause such a scene. everyone looked at him, wondering what he would do. at this moment, a hand reached out from the wall of the cave and grabbed qin chen. the hand was extremely fast, leaving no time for qin chen to react at all. qin chen immediately slashed out with the innate sword embryo in his hand and chopped the hand into pieces. this was simply unbelievable. even qin chen himself had not expected this. one could imagine what would happen if this hand grabbed him before he could react. ¡°this place is not simple.¡± the big scorpion was deeply fearful. he was afraid that if the hand had chosen to grab him, wouldn¡¯t he have died at this point? after all, he was not as powerful as qin chen. perhaps he would die very soon. this cave was really too dangerous. god knows what kind of demon existed in this cave. to think it was so terrifying that just one palm was enough to drive him crazy. in contrast, qin chen laughed. as long as this cave was terrifying enough, he could feel happy. after all, this meant that the things here were extraordinary. the stronger the demon race expert in the cave was, the more terrifying the treasures it guarded. qin chen smiled. fortunately, the demon race expert in this cave was strong enough. with the innate sword embryo in hand, he continued to charge forward. the crowd didn¡¯t dare to stray too far away and quickly followed him. qin chen only wanted to become stronger. only by becoming stronger could he suppress those terrifying existences himself. qin chen smiled. now, the only thing left to deal with was the terrifying demon race expert. there were no other terrifying existences here that required his personal action. along the way, the green lotus demonic flame flew forward with qin chen following behind. he had no idea how terrifying the area ahead was. not long after, they reached the depths of the cave. a black shadow released a terrifying fluctuation! it was a level 8 god venerable-realm demon race expert. under the light, qin chen and the others saw its true appearance. it was actually the void beast. the void beast could be considered a powerful race among the demons. countless demons were extremely shocked as it seemed that they couldn¡¯t compare to qin chen. after all, those terrifying demons were just so-so. the void beast was different. it was born with a terrifying talent that allowed it to drag the enemy into the void. it was also because of this that the void beast could fight those at a higher realm. almost no terrifying enemy could be more powerful than it. still, qin chen had nothing to fear. it wasn¡¯t like the other party was a terrifying existence in the quasi-emperor realm. rather, even if a terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existence appeared, it might not be able to deal with qin chen since he still had the blood essence of meteor ghost moon. this was his greatest weapon. as long as in chen used it, he would be able to have terrifying quasi-emperor-realm strength for a short time. at that time, even the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm existences wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with him. thinking of this, qin chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. they might not be able to deal with the other party so qin chen immediately made his preparations. he looked at the void beast. the void beast was extremely powerful. it was even more terrifying than the other level 9 god venerable-realm demons. that being said, qin chen didn¡¯t think much of it at all. after all, he had a trump card. no matter how powerful the other party was, they would be no match for him. qin chen smiled and led everyone over.. Chapter 750 - Chapter 750: What Is the Void? chapter 750: what is the void? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio before anyone could react, the void beast had already attacked. the attack was extremely terrifying, directly dragging qin chen and the others into the void. if they really were to let themselves be dragged into the void, then only death would await them. qin chen didn¡¯t want to die so quickly. he smiled. no matter what, he couldn¡¯t just let himself die like this. seeing qin chen smile, everyone immediately felt somewhat apprehensive. after all, it was not that easy to get injured at this time. qin chen looked at the terrifying void beast. to think it released its tentacles, wanting to drag them into the void. however, how could qin chen be afraid now? the tentacles reached toward qin chen and the others, but their strength was extraordinary. the tentacles that stretched out from the void were incomparably terrifying as if they could drag qin chen and the others into the void. but in fact, they were not very powerful. qin chen simply took out his innate sword embryo and attacked. not many tentacles could withstand the sword attacks. the flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others also attacked. in a short while, the tentacles were almost all destroyed. the level 8 god venerable realm void beast was very shocked. after all, the many terrifying tentacles added together were quite terrifying. even if qin chen and the others made their moves at the same time, they might not be able to block the next move. countless tentacles were once again condensed by the void beast, becoming even more terrifying this time as they contained the power of rules. even with qin chen¡¯s innate sword embryo attacks, he was unable to cut the tentacles. this caused qin chen to be incomparably shocked. but now, he didn¡¯t have time to think too much. the void beast had killed countless terrifying existences in the cave. no matter how heaven-defying qin chen and the others were, it would be very difficult for them to escape. thinking of this, qin chen laughed. the terrifying tentacles continued to go toward qin chen. still, those tentacles might not be able to kill them. immediately after, qin chen unleashed his strength once again. after the innate sword embryo was infused with divine power, it erupted with an extreme emperor might. the terrifying sword landed on the tentacles, slashing countless tentacles. this was qin chen¡¯s strength. qin chen smiled. it seemed that the void beast was only so-so. to qin chen¡¯s surprise, the terrifying tentacles became even stronger as they charged toward the crowd. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon hurriedly made their moves. even for them, it was not easy to resist the terrifying tentacles as they carried the power of rules. moreover, the void beast was four levels stronger than them. in terms of cultivation realms, they most certainly could not compare to the other party. this existence was too terrifying. even they could not completely resist it. tentacles swept toward qin chen and the others. if this continued, one could imagine that they would not be able to hold on any longer. with that, qin chen wanted to use the meteor ghost moon blood essence as long as he did so, he would be able to easily kill the void beast, which was only at level eight of the god venerable realm. it would be no match for him at all. at this moment, the flame-wing beast seemed to have made a breakthrough. its flames became even more powerful and actually burned those tentacles into ashes. this was simply unbelievable. the tentacles that were indestructible under qin chen¡¯s full-strength attacks were now instantly burned by the flame-wing beast¡¯s flames. the void beast let out miserable cries. no matter how terrifying it was, it could not withstand this terrifying flame. the tentacles in the void were burned, causing the void beast to suffer a huge backlash. still, the void beast did not stop. it prepared to unleash its full strength. following this, countless tentacles that condensed into a barrier pressed down on qin chen and the others. this was the power of the void! even the flame-wing beast could sense the immense danger. at this point, it could only try its best to see if it could resist the terrifying void barrier. the level 8 of the god venerable-realm void beast was incomparable to the demons from before. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon let out a furious roar and immediately charged forward. facing the barrier in the void that was pressing down with a terrifying aura, they had no reason to hesitate in resisting it. the terrifying barrier made the two vomit blood. at this moment, they felt what true strength was. if the void beast could break through to the quasi-emperor realm, very few quasi-emperor-realm experts could probably defeat it. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon both vomited blood. facing such a terrifying attack, they were heavily injured, but there was nothing they could do other than accept it. the void beast was just too terrifying. even if they joined forces, they might not be able to take care of it. seeing the void beast charging at them, the true dragon stood up again and transformed into its true form. it turned into a huge dragon that emitted a terrifying dragon might. however, the void beast did not seem to feel the huge dragon¡¯s might. one had to know that only existences with extraordinary bloodlines could withstand the dragon¡¯s might. the flame-wing beast gritted its teeth and charged out once more as well. this time, no matter what, they had to kill this level 8 god venerable-realm void beast. the void beast¡¯s ditch-black eyes were filled with mockery. in its opinion, even if qin chen and the others went all out, they would still not be its match. after all, it was a level 8 god venerable-realm expert. what could qin chen and the others rely on to fight it? if this wasn¡¯t courting death, what was? thinking of this, the terrifying void beast once again charged toward qin chen. the terror of the incoming attack caught qin chen and the others by surprise. it sent the flame-wing beast and the true dragon flying. in an instant, it caused the two to vomit blood again. this time, they were very heavily injured! the void beast then sauntered toward qin chen and the others step by step like a hunter slowly approaching his prey. qin chen closed his eyes. ¡°what is the void?¡± the void beast¡¯s attack was already heading toward qin chen.. Chapter 751 - Chapter 751: Breaking the Void with the Void chapter 751: breaking the void with the void translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio as the terrifying void beast charged over, no one knew what qin chen was thinking. the void beast was a terrifying existence comparable to the true dragon and other divine beasts. at this moment, it was charging over with a terrifying aura with the intention to kill qin chen. this was because there was a terrifying aura on the latter that made it feel wary. it was hard to say what would happen next. qin chen¡¯s eyes flew open. logically speaking, void did not exist. any living being would turn into nothingness if they were dragged into the void. the terrifying aura of the void was enough to make qin chen and the others have no chance of survival. qin chen smiled. the void beast was at a loss for what to do, but it charged straight for qin chen. ¡°he¡¯s actually still smiling? the void beast couldn¡¯t understand. was this human cultivator not afraid of death? an illusory barrier condensed in its hand and pressed down on qin chen. the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were extremely terrified. they were heavily injured, making it impossible for them to reach qin chen. with this, qin chen would have no chance of surviving. ¡°die!¡± the void beast roared. in its opinion, since this human cultivator was only in the god emperor realm, he would surely die. there was no chance for him to survive. seeing the terrifying attack heading towards qin chen, no one dared look. qin chen simply muttered, ¡°void means non-existence. since it doesn¡¯t exist, how can this attack hurt me? the words he said made everyone think that he seemed to have gone crazy. this was the attack of a terrifying level 8 god venerable-realm demon race existence! qin chen would most certainly not be able to survive this attack. seeing the terrifying attack heading straight for qin chen, the void beast seemed to have seen the scene of his death. it could seemingly see his body turn into nothingness and disappear from this world. the terrifying void barrier pressed down on qin chen and made him feel despair. this was too terrifying. boom! unexpectedly, at some point, the terrifying barrier seemed to be unable to move an inch in front of qin chen! everyone was incomparably shocked! they did not know what was going on. this was impossible! the void beast was about to go crazy. its void barrier had always been invincible. how could it be stopped by this human cultivator? countless terrifying human cultivators and even level 9 god venerable-realm cultivators had fought against it, but almost none of them had survived. in front of its void barrier, there was only death. ¡°what¡­ what¡¯s going on? the elder king actually blocked the terrifying void barrier? in everyone¡¯s eyes, this was simply impossible. yet, qin chen had truly done it. they were at a loss for words. all of this seemed to be fake. a smile appeared on qin chen¡¯s face. as expected, his guess was correct. this terrifying barrier was nothing. it did not exist. the true void was simply nothingness. how could it be controlled by a level eight god venerable-realm demonic beast? was this a joke? even a quasi-emperor might not be able to control it. even if this level eight god venerable-realm void beast had a terrifying bloodline, it was impossible for it to control such terrifying power. immediately after, qin chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused his divine power into it. immediately, the terrifying extreme emperor weapon erupted with powerful pressure. ¡°slash!¡± qin chen seemed to have comprehended some kind of concept from the void. he slashed out with his sword, and it actually turned into the void. it was only when the sword approached the void barrier that it revealed itself before shattering the void barrier. the void beast was extremely shocked. this time, it was truly horrified. this was the power that the void beast clan controlled! how could a god emperor-realm human cultivator control it? ¡°how is this possible?¡± using the void to break the void! perhaps only qin chen could achieve such a feat. at this moment, in chen seemed to be able to vaguely control some rules. the rules he controlled were void rules, though he could not control them well yet. qin chen¡¯s sword strike just now may have contained void rules, but he couldn¡¯t do it again. this was the surprise that the void beast had given to qin chen, and the latter¡¯s heart trembled. this terrifying battle also surprised the others. at this moment, the void beast was like a madman. it simply could not fathom how a human weakling managed to control the void rules. only the void could resist the void. qin chen¡¯s sword had shattered the void beast¡¯s barrier, which was something even qin chen himself had not expected. to think he could control the void rules! for one to control the void rules, one had to advance to the god venerable realm. there was no other way. yet, qin chen was currently only in the god emperor realm. he was six levels away from breaking through to the god venerable realm. his achievement could also be said to be shocking. throughout so many years, few could achieve such a feat. the only few who had achieved it were great magnates with great backgrounds. in other words, it was very likely that qin chen would become a peerless figure who would be famous throughout the ages if he did not die in the future. to be honest, the crowd was not surprised no matter what kind of achievements qin chen could achieve. after all, he had too many secrets and various mysterious pasts. in fact, the big scorpion even suspected that qin chen was the reincarnation of an ancient great emperor. at this moment, qin chen smiled as he was no longer afraid of the level 8 god venerable-realm void beast. at the same time, he saw that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had also recovered some of their strength. they should be able to deal with the void beast now. with that, the true dragon and the flame-wing beast charged at the void beast. the void beast was most proud of its terrifying void rules. but now, as long as it condensed a barrier, qin chen would immediately destroy it with a single sword strike. in that case, there was nothing to be afraid of the void beast. qin chen looked at the void beast. the latter had already been forced into a desperate situation by the combined forces of the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. unless the void beast had some secret technique, only then could it turn the tables.. Chapter 752 - Chapter 752: Spiritual Egg Flower chapter 752: spiritual egg flower translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was already prepared to send the void beast on its way. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon hurriedly made their moves as well, determined not to let the void beast have any chance of counterattacking. the void beast spat out a mouthful of blood. in qin chen¡¯s eyes, the other party could no longer turn the tables. everyone witnessed the death of the terrifying void beast in the cave. it left nothing behind. its corpse was burned to ashes by the flames spat out by the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. following this, qin chen and the others walked into the depths of the cave. they wanted to see how many peerless natural treasures were in the cave guarded by the void beast. after all, many human cultivators had died in this cave. one could imagine how powerful the void beast was and thus how extremely rare the treasure was. qin chen led everyone forward and they finally discovered the natural treasure. it was actually an egg which was quite strange. countless small flowers were growing on it. ¡°this can¡¯t be the spiritual egg flower, right?¡± the big scorpion could not help but exclaim. he did not expect to see the spiritual egg flower here. one had to know that the spiritual egg flower was extremely precious and rare. back in the nine heavens and ten lands, it only existed in ancient books. according to those books, the spiritual egg flower had a terrifying power that could make the cultivator who consumed it grow incomparably powerful. qin chen didn¡¯t know if this was the spiritual egg flower or not, but judging from its looks, it should be. he then laughed. with the spiritual egg flower, he would be able to become even stronger. thinking of this, he distributed the spiritual egg flower to everyone. then, he swallowed and refined his portion. with this, he would be able to become stronger. this spiritual egg flower was extremely precious, to begin with. now that it had been refined, qin chen¡¯s realm soared. after some time, qin chen could feel that his cultivation had loosened and he was actually about to step into the god venerable realm. although his current realm was not that powerful, as long as he continued to consume and refine natural treasures, he would be able to improve. after a long time, qin chen finally nodded. he saw that his realm had become incomparably powerful and perhaps he would be able to break through soon. then, he looked at the others. the realms of the others had also improved by quite a margin. if this continued, who knew what realm they would reach? the demon races forbidden ground had many cultivation resources. as long as qin chen could raise his realm and become even more powerful, he would not be afraid of those quasi-emperor-realm experts hunting him down. he smiled, then, led everyone away. after leaving this place, he would be able to obtain other natural treasures. wouldn¡¯t he be able to live well then? thinking of this, qin chen led everyone out of the cave. they arrived at another place with countless experts. all of them looked very powerful. these experts were fighting. the battle between the human cultivators and the demon cultivators was about to end. no one knew who the final winner would be. the crowd looked at qin chen. as long as he gave the order, they would charge over. after all, there were no quasi-emperors among these demon race experts. if qin chen and the others made a move, those demon race experts would have almost no chance of surviving. qin chen looked at the other human cultivators. they seemed to be unaffiliated cultivators who were not from large sects or factions. therefore, qin chen and the others could probably deal with them just by making a move. following this, he looked at the demon race experts and started to attack. ¡°kill!¡± the flame-wing beast, the true dragon, and the others immediately unleashed their terrifying auras as they charged toward the terrifying demons. the unaffiliated cultivators stood no chance to restrain the demon race experts as the latter was no ordinary existence. most of them were in the god venerable realm, and they were obviously elites among the demons. seeing qin chen attack the demons, the human cultivators could not help but relax their frowns. they should have the chance to kill this group of demons now as they could now resist them. qin chen hurriedly unleashed his terrifying aura. with the innate sword embryo in his hand, he slashed down, shocking a god venerable-realm demon. the sword was too terrifying. one of the god venerable-realm demons had its eyes on qin chen and hurriedly attacked, wanting to deal with the latter. this sword cut through the void and was blocked by the god venerable-realm demon. ¡°to think more human cultivators are coming.¡± the demons were extremely surprised. the god venerable-realm expert started to attack qin chen. if it could deal with these human cultivators, the other party probably wouldn¡¯t have a chance to live. the flame-wing beast charged forward. seeing that the demon race expert wanted to attack qin chen, the flame-wing beast transformed into a huge beast and sent it flying. the demon race expert did not expect that a god venerable-realm expert would target it. these demons had already experienced a great battle, so they were now practically spent arrows at the end of their flight. they had almost no strength left. with the flame-wing beast and the true dragon attacking, it was almost impossible for the demon race experts to resist and they were killed directly. ¡°brothers, kill!¡± ¡°now that we have reinforcements, don¡¯t be afraid! whether we live or die, we¡¯ll fight it out here!¡± in an instant, the terrifying demon race experts fell one after another, leaving none of them alive. seeing this scene, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. if this continued, no demon would be able to resist. at this moment, the scene on the battlefield showed that the demons were one-sidedly being slaughtered. not long after qin chen and the others joined the battle, the battle ended. the remaining human unaffiliated cultivators smiled.. Chapter 753 - Chapter 753: Exposed chapter 753: exposed translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after settling the injustice, qin chen and the others quickly left. unfortunately, there was an expert from the thousand yin holy sect hidden among the unaffiliated cultivators. he recognized qin chen and the others. ¡°shouldn¡¯t they have died a long time ago? how can they possibly appear here? i have to report it quickly!¡± right now, qin chen and the others still didn¡¯t know that they had been recognized by someone from the thousand yin holy sect. if they had known that there were cultivators from the thousand yin holy sect among these human cultivators, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have saved those people. qin chen and the others arrived at a valley that contained a powerful and terrifying aura. it seemed that there should be a god venerable-realm demon race expert inside. as for why the other party was inside, it should be because there were peerless natural treasures there. only peerless natural treasures could help qin chen and the others break through. although the peerless natural treasure here must be guarded by a very powerful demon, qin chen was fearless. after all, what they needed the most right now was peerless natural treasures. seeing qin chen immediately charge into the valley, everyone was extremely excited. as long as qin chen was around, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. they laughed. qin chen was, after all, no ordinary god emperor. he had a trump card to deal with quasi-emperor-realm experts. as such, even if he encountered a quasi-emperor, he wouldn¡¯t have anything to fear. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. no matter what, he could not let the big scorpion and the others follow him with no improvement to their cultivation. the reason why they needed to increase their realms was because it was what everyone needed now. a light seemed to flash before qin chen¡¯s eyes, but before he could see it clearly, he fell into the valley. he wondered what terrifying demon race experts were in this valley. qin chen smiled. no matter what, he was not afraid at all. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that the sky above this valley was actually sealed.¡± the reason why qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t sense what was in the valley while they were on top was that the aura here was extremely terrifying. there was even a mysterious force that sealed the sky above. qin chen started to scan his surroundings. he didn¡¯t know what was around him, but he was certain that there was definitely a powerful demon expert here. otherwise, they couldn¡¯t think of anything else that was in this valley. after some time, qin chen finally stopped. they could only stop since there was a fierce gaze staring at them. the owner of this fierce gaze was a golden crystal white tiger! the eyes of the golden crystal white tiger were filled with terrifying killing intent. in its opinion, these human cultivators who had intruded here must have only one goal, and that was to seize the natural treasure it was protecting. that was something it needed to break through. if those human cultivators took it away, how could it breakthrough? the golden crystal white tiger then looked at qin chen and the others, wondering what they would do. ¡°you guys want the natural treasure here, right? then give me your lives!¡± in an instant, the terrifying golden crystal white tiger burst out with a terrifying aura and charged toward qin chen. as long as it killed these human cultivators, no one could snatch its treasure. qin chen immediately used the moving secret technique to dodge to the side. on the other side, a thousand yin holy sect elder had just experienced a fierce battle and was almost heavily injured. fortunately, his strength was stronger than those demon race experts and it did not take long for him to kill all of them. the demon corpses on the ground were almost torn into pieces. there was not a single intact corpse. this also showed how great the hatred between these demon experts and human cultivators was. it was almost impossible to erase. ¡°what?¡± the thousand yin holy sect¡¯s elder thought he had heard wrongly. ¡°what?¡± ¡°you¡¯re saying that qin chen and the others are not dead? those bastards are in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground?¡± the reporting thousand yin holy sect disciple nodded. he felt inexplicably bitter. ¡°are you sure? it¡¯s them?¡± ¡°elder wei, i saw them with my own eyes. it¡¯s absolutely true!¡± elder wei was in disbelief. ¡°how¡­ how is this possible? that¡¯s death underworld mountain! even quasi-emperor-realm experts can¡¯t return alive! even if those bastards have great abilities, it¡¯s impossible for them to come out of death underworld mountain alive! investigate this matter! if it really is them, we must capture and kill them! if they¡¯re alive, i want to see them; if they¡¯re dead, i want to see their corpses! go!¡± if this was true, it would be a slap in the face for the thousand yin holy sect. it was impossible for them to search the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground even with joint efforts. still, all the cultivators of the thousand yin holy sect were sent out to search for qin chen and the others. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t know that they had already been exposed. if this continued, who knew what would happen in the end? this time, more than one elder from the thousand yin holy sect had come to the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. there were even quasi-emperor-realm experts on their way. if qin chen and the others were discovered, they would certainly not be able to escape. their only outcome would be death. qin chen felt an inexplicable faint uneasiness in his heart. at this moment, they were looking at the golden crystal white tiger in front of them. the golden crystal white tiger was clearly going all out. its goal was to capture qin chen and the others. however, how could qin chen and the others be taken down so easily? even if the terrifying golden crystal white tiger unleashed its full strength, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon could still hold it back. the golden crystal white tiger was extremely furious. its body emitted a golden radiance, making it look like an ancient god that had walked out of the sun. then, it attacked qin chen and the others, wanting to deal with them. if qin chen and the others didn¡¯t die, wouldn¡¯t that be a slap to its face? immediately after, the terrifying golden crystal white tiger made its move, charging toward qin chen and the others. unexpectedly, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon made their moves as well, wanting to protect qin chen and the others.. Chapter 754 - Chapter 754: The Shocked urhite Tiger chapter 754: the shocked urhite tiger translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the true dragon and the flame-wing beast helped qin chen block the golden crystal white tiger. unfortunately, the latter was too powerful. just a huge claw from the other party sent the two of them flying. still, this could not be blamed on the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. after all, no matter how powerful they were, there was still a huge gap between them and the golden crystal white tiger. it was already not easy for them to block the other party¡¯s attack for even a short time. qin chen felt fear. the aura emitted by the golden crystal white tiger was truly terrifying. even if they made a move to block the other party¡¯s attacks, they might not be able to completely do so. it didn¡¯t take long for the golden crystal white tiger to heavily injure the flame-wing beast and the true dragon. as a level 9 god venerable- realm expert, even if the terrifying golden crystal white tiger wanted to tear apart the galaxy, it would be relatively easy. the golden crystal white tiger immediately went berserk, vowing to absolutely not let qin chen and the others live. seeing the terrifying strength displayed by the golden crystal white tiger, no one was able to withstand it. even qin chen found it hard to block the attacks. he was quite apprehensive, but now, there was nothing he could do. he could only watch as the flame-wing beast and the true dragon fought a bloody battle. terrifying rule power circulated the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s body. whenever it made its move, qin chen and the others were under immense pressure. one had to know that the golden crystal white tiger was at its peak. at this point, the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were in danger. if they were not careful, they would be in danger of dying. the golden crystal white tiger bared its fangs, and the baleful aura on its body was extremely terrifying. it couldn¡¯t possibly allow qin chen and the others to live on. it wanted to kill qin chen, but the golden crystal white tiger could also tell that the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were desperately trying to protect him. no matter how terrifying its attack was, it couldn¡¯t reach qin chen. following this, the terrifying golden crystal white tiger decided to put the tactic of luring the enemy away into use. it pretended to launch an all-out attack on the flame-wing beast) and a terrifying shockwave immediately exploded. everyone was in disbelief as the attack was truly too terrifying. even the flame-wing beast¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. it was under immense pressure and could only slowly watch as the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s attack that carried terrifying rule power descended. the flame-wing beast roared and was prepared to use its physical body to resist the attack. the terrifying attack smashed fiercely toward the flame-wing beast and it seemed to have made its preparations. it transformed into its original form, which was incomparably huge. it was like an ancient ferocious beast as it faced the rule attack head-on! however, no one had expected that the golden crystal white tiger would disappear when the terrifying attack landed. among this group of people, the god emperor-realm human cultivator should be the center of the group. the golden crystal white tiger believed that as long as it could kill this weakling, the others would surely reveal their flaws. at that time, it would be able to take advantage of the situation. getting rid of that weakling would not cause any harm. instead, it would give it an opportunity. as long as it could suppress the opponents¡¯ morale and distract them, two mere level-4 god venerable-realm experts and a few small fries were nothing. it was also at this moment that qin chen noticed the problem. the golden crystal white tiger was actually attacking him! if this continued, he would be defeated. with this, qin chen circulated his divine power into the supreme heavenly origin armor. unexpectedly, the supreme heavenly origin armor had undergone some mysterious changes that even qin chen himself hadn¡¯t noticed. it was only at this moment that he noticed those changes. then, he laughed. the supreme heavenly origin armor seemed to have become much brighter, and the light it emitted was even more resplendent. one could imagine just how powerful it had become. seeing the golden crystal white tiger charge toward him, qin chen remained unmoved. this time, he would take a gamble and see if the supreme heavenly origin armor could help him resist the attack of a level 9 god venerable-realm expert. as long as the answer was yes, there would naturally be no accidents. ¡°elder king, be careful!¡± everyone cried out in surprise no one had expected that the terrifying golden crystal white tiger would attack qin chen. they had originally thought that the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s target was the flame-wing beast. but now, it was too late. there was no chance to salvage the situation. seeing the golden crystal white tiger charging towards qin chen, the true dragon hurriedly flew over. however, it knew in its heart that it was probably too late! if anything were to happen to qin chen, the true dragon couldn¡¯t continue living either. after all, its life and its current realm were all given by qin chen. if it wasn¡¯t for him, perhaps it wouldn¡¯t have been able to break through and reach its current realm. the golden crystal white tigers eyes were filled with apprehension. it couldn¡¯t just let qin chen leave like this. only by taking care of him could it feel at ease. otherwise, it would probably have to spend more effort. however, it did not expect that the terrifying attack it launched against qin chen was repelled by the supreme heavenly origin armor on the latter¡¯s body. if qin chen didn¡¯t have the supreme heavenly origin armor, he might have been severely injured. but now, he was still alive and well. everyone looked at qin chen, wondering how he had survived. seeing that qin chen was fine, the golden crystal white tiger seemed to have gone mad. no one had expected this. ¡°roar!¡± the true dragon let out an angry roar. no matter what, it couldn¡¯t let qin chen face the enemy by himself. after all, if he couldn¡¯t hold on, it would probably be a waste of all their painstaking effort. qin chen laughed as he now knew that the golden crystal white tiger couldn¡¯t kill him. ¡°this¡­ this doesn¡¯t make sense! brat! what kind of treasure is that on you? the golden crystal white tiger was extremely shocked. ¡°the supreme heavenly origin armor.¡± qin chen obtained this through checking in back then. maybe if he went to the same place again, he wouldn¡¯t find anything good. perhaps there wouldn¡¯t even be any divinity remnants there. how could he check in there? could it be that he could only use some other methods? Chapter 755 - Chapter 755: Quasi-emperor chapter 755: quasi-emperor translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was already prepared. even if this continued, he believed that the supreme heavenly origin armor on his body could withstand for some time. qin chen had been fighting for an opportunity to let the true dragon get close to him and help him resist the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s attack. at the same time, he was quite apprehensive and didn¡¯t dare to unleash his full power. after all, the opponent was a level 9 god venerable-realm demon race expert. at this moment, the true dragon finally arrived in front of qin chen and helped him block the terrifying golden crystal white tiger¡¯s attacks. the other party was no ordinary creature, after all. this was an attack from a level 9 god venerable-realm expert! moreover, it was only one step away from the quasi-emperor realm. qin chen made his preparations. as long as he could block the terrifying attacks, there was basically nothing else to worry about. he looked into the distance. the golden crystal white tiger had been sent flying to the side by the true dragon. it was a pity that the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were not strong enough. if they were stronger, they should be able to restrain it. the golden crystal white tiger looked at the true dragon. then, everyone saw that the true dragon once again erupted with a terrifying might. countless rule powers were condensed by the golden crystal white tiger and it slapped them toward the true dragon. it was almost impossible for the true dragon to take care of qin chen. after all, it was only at level 4 of the god venerable realm. the golden crystal white tiger believed it could get rid of the true dragon very soon. since it couldn¡¯t kill qin chen, it could only take things one step at a time. after dealing with the true dragon and the flame-wing beast, it would deal with those small fries. seeing this, qin chen took out the meteor ghost moon blood essence from his storage ring as it seemed that they really couldn¡¯t deal with the golden crystal white tiger. the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s eyes were filled with sharp killing intent. it was starting to get serious. in other words, it was going all out. only by taking care of these fellows would the throbbing in its heart disappear. suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended. qin chen and the others widened their eyes in shock, and so did the golden crystal white tiger. it was at level 9 of the god venerable realm and had extremely sharp senses. it could sense that a quasi-emperor had arrived! however, the other party did not come with good intentions. on top of that, he was not a human cultivator, but a demon race expert. the quasi-emperor-realm demon was emitting a strong demonic aura, making it so that qin chen and the others could barely breathe. it was as easy as abc for such an existence to get rid of qin chen. seeing the quasi-emperor-realm demon, everyone was shocked and at a loss for what to do. the quasi-emperor-realm demon race expert laughed, ¡°you are indeed here.¡± the golden crystal white tiger cursed incessantly in its heart. this quasi-emperor-realm demon expert had almost died at its hands. unexpectedly, before the golden crystal white tiger could break through and reach the quasi-emperor realm, the other party had broken through first. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t know about the enmity between the golden crystal white tiger and the quasi-emperor demon race expert. they only knew that the other party would not let them off so easily. ¡°oh my, there are actually a few human weaklings. could it be that you haven¡¯t dealt with them yet? it¡¯s time to settle the score between us.¡± however, before that, the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm demon expert was prepared to attack qin chen and the others. it wanted to clear the area. ¡°to think you human cultivators came to the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. death will be your end!¡± qin chen¡¯s eyelids twitched. it seemed that the other party wanted to deal with them as well. originally, qin chen and the others had thought that the quasi-emperor would attack the golden crystal white tiger. at that time, they would be able to escape. it seemed that it was ultimately impossible. thinking of this, qin chen took out the meteor ghost moon blood essence from his storage ring. as he did so, the golden crystal white tiger was instantly shocked because it felt hugely threatened. the quasi-emperor-realm demon race expert also frowned. it was ready to make a move. as long as it took care of the humans, nothing unexpected would happen. qin chen smiled. since he had already taken out the meteor ghost moon blood essence, he couldn¡¯t let these demons live, including the quasi-emperor. immediately after, he laughed as he swallowed and refined the meteor ghost moon blood essence. not long after, a terrifying aura erupted from qin chen¡¯s body. the terrifying aura was like an ancient moon. qin chen¡¯s body emitted a brilliant light, like a shooting star. following this, he looked at the quasi-emperor-realm demon and attached the other party straight away. given his current circumstances, how could he not handle the quasi-emperor-realm demon? right now, qin chen¡¯s realm had reached the quasi-emperor realm. he roared, and a terrifying aura immediately erupted. the quasi-emperor-realm demon seemed to have seen something unbelievable. it did not expect to encounter someone it could not provoke today. the human cultivator¡¯s aura was extremely strange. how could he be in the quasi-emperor realm? ¡°just now, you were still in the god emperor realm. it¡¯s absolutely impossible for you to be so terrifying!¡¯ it was so hopelessly terrifying. something must be wrong if things were abnormal! the quasi-emperor-realm demon was quite sure that there was something wrong with qin chen. what kind of joke was this? the other party had suddenly broken through to the quasi-emperor realm. ¡°there¡¯s a problem!¡± the quasi-emperor-realm demon could not believe that something so strange could happen. it decided to attack qin chen as well. as long as they exchanged moves, it would know if the other party¡¯s cultivation was true or not. the human¡¯s quasi-emperor realm was most likely fake. immediately after, the quasi-emperor-realm demon charged qin chen. it wanted to test the latter out. seeing the quasi-emperor-realm demon race expert charging toward him, qin chen had nothing to fear. ¡°so this is the quasi-emperor realm?¡± qin chen felt as if he had become one with the world. he also seemed to feel that the world was under his control. it was so terrifying that even qin chen was shocked. seeing something seemingly impossible happen, everyone was extremely excited. although they didn¡¯t know how qin chen had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm¡­. Chapter 756 - Chapter 756: The Demon Race’s Quasi-emperor Escapes chapter 756: the demon race¡¯s quasi-emperor escapes translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio it was not easy for a cultivator to reach the quasi-emperor realm. even with qin chen¡¯s heaven-defying physique, it would still be extremely difficult for him to reach the quasi-emperor realm. he was prepared though. he only had temporary quasi-emperor realm combat strength right now, but he would surely reach that realm sooner and later. only when one¡¯s cultivation reached the quasi-emperor realm would one have the power to protect the people they wanted to protect. he was currently only in the god emperor realm. it was far from enough. at this moment, that terrifying quasi-emperor demon race expert was already prepared to attack qin chen. only after taking the latter down could it be at ease. the golden crystal white tiger, who had previously viewed qin chen as a weakling, was now incomparably shocked. it could never have imagined that this ant-like human cultivator could break through to the quasi-emperor realm. qin chen could not resist at all. it was difficult for him to completely control such a terrifying realm as well. he had just broken through to the quasi-emperor realm, and the powerful strength fascinated qin chen. on top of that, he felt somewhat lost. it was as if the power of an adult had just descended on a child. this made qin chen feel quite uncertain. then, he saw the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm demon charging at him. one had to know that the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm demon had cultivated for a long time and had terrifying strength. a punch smashed over, causing the void to tremble. qin chen felt quite pressured. seeing the quasi- emperor¡¯s fist coming at him, qin chen barely blocked it after using all his strength. ¡°how is this possible?¡± to think this human cultivator was indeed in the quasi-emperor realm! this shocked the quasi-emperor-realm demon. if the human wasn¡¯t a true quasi-emperor, how could he possibly block its attack? after all, its attacks were so terrifying that even an ordinary quasi-emperor would be injured. yet, the human cultivator was almost uninjured! this made the demon feel the true horror. ¡°this is impossible!¡± even if the reality was right in front of the demon, it simply refused to believe it. after all, this was even more terrifying than the revival of an ancient great emperor. with that) the quasi-emperor-realm demon gathered its strength and punched out with a dense demonic qi. ¡°demon star fist!¡± qin chen looked at the incoming fist and knew it wasn¡¯t a simple punch. the divine power in his body immediately surged. his hair danced in the wind, and his eyes shot out divine light as he punched out. his terrifying punch was shocking. ¡°six paths reincarnation fist!¡± this punch was from the celestial realm. although qin chen didn¡¯t know if the celestial realm had already been destroyed, the punch carried the will of the great path of reincarnation and made the others seemingly fall into a trance. the profoundness of this punch was already above all the rules in the world. it simply blasted back the punch of the quasi-emperor-realm demon. qin chen¡¯s strength was now in the quasi-emperor realm. although he hadn¡¯t truly reached this realm, he could still unleash seventy percent of the six paths reincarnation fist¡¯s full power. it was this punch that made the terrifying quasi-emperor-realm demon lose its composure. if the human didn¡¯t have the reserves of a quasi-emperor, how could he release such a punch? the demon could not withstand this punch and was sent flying. before qin chen could react, the quasi-emperor ¨C realm demon roared. then, it split into two and charged toward qin chen again. the punch had injured the quasi-emperor-realm demon. it didn¡¯t dare to take the human lightly anymore. it could tell that the human cultivator had been pretending to be weak. he had used some unknown method to suppress his aura, making the quasi-emperor-realm demon think that he was just an ant. but now, it seemed to the terrifying demon quasi-emperor that it might not be as powerful as this human cultivator. therefore, it decided to escape. it could not stay here any longer. if it did and fought to the death, it might really die. looking at the two figures of the quasi-emperor-realm demon charging at him, qin chen was extremely shocked. however, he had no other choice but to nod and desperately resist the attack! who would have thought that the attacks of those two figures were easily blocked? immediately after, a slight attack from qin chen crushed the two figures of the quasi-emperor-realm demon into dust. when he searched the surroundings for the quasi-emperor-realm demon, he discovered that the other party¡¯s aura had disappeared. no matter how hard he searched, he couldn¡¯t find any clues. ¡°what a pity,¡± qin chen sighed. if it was like before, with the help of an array, he wouldn¡¯t have had to worry about the quasi-emperor-realm demon escaping. although he now had quasi-emperor realm strength, he lacked actual combat experience. how could he possibly defeat a quasi-emperor? as a result, the other party managed to seize the opportunity to slip away. at this point, qin chen still had a problem that needed to be solved, and that was the golden crystal white tiger. the golden crystal white tiger had caused them to expend quite a bit of effort but hadn¡¯t paid a price yet. the golden crystal white tiger was already trembling in fear. it had never expected that this human cultivator was in the quasi-emperor realm. as the other party displayed quasi-emperor realm strength, it realized that it seemed to have provoked someone it couldn¡¯t afford to offend. the golden crystal white tiger was incomparably terrified. it knew that it couldn¡¯t survive under qin chen¡¯s hands. after all, even its arch-enemy, who had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm, was no match for qin chen. how could it be qin chen¡¯s opponent? filled with incomparable despair, the golden crystal white tiger turned into nothingness under qin chen¡¯s attack. it was as if it had never existed. then, qin chen felt that the effect of the meteor ghost moon blood essence in his body was slowly disappearing. this also meant that he had wasted a trump card. ¡°damn it! a dignified quasi-emperor-realm demon actually escaped?!¡± one had to know that the quasi-emperor-realm demon was already a god to ordinary demons. under normal circumstances, one wouldn¡¯t be able to meet such a dignified character. yet, it was precisely such a demon race expert who turned around and fled after testing qin chen, not giving the latter any time to react at all. if qin chen had known, he would have never let the terrifying quasi-emperor escape. at this moment, there was an unknown amount of fear in his heart.. Chapter 757 - Chapter 757: Die! chapter 757: die! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio if the quasi-emperor-realm demon race expert learned that qin chen was no longer in the quasi-emperor realm and came back to kill him, it was needless to say that qin chen and the others would surely die. there was no way they could escape. thinking of this, qin chen led everyone to collect all the peerless natural treasures in the golden crystal white tiger¡¯s territory before leaving. they did not have the guts to stay. as long as they hid properly, it would be difficult for the terrifying quasi-emperor to find them in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± on the other side, the red-clothed woman was still fighting with the demon race experts. she had the blood of countless demons on her, which allowed her to grow rapidly. after all, there was no shortcut to improving one¡¯s strength. only natural treasures and constant battles of blood and fire could improve one¡¯s strength. only by experiencing countless battles could one¡¯s strength be improved. at this moment, the red-clothed woman had a hostile expression. the person in front of her was a terrifying expert who was quite famous among the demon race. its fame came from the human cultivators it killed as it had even killed human cultivators who were close to level 9 of the god venerable realm. one could imagine how terrifying this terrifying demon race expert was. any human cultivators who met this demon felt despair. but now, the red-clothed woman was not afraid at all. after all, she had a guardian of the ji family behind her, and he was in the quasi-emperor realm. a mere god venerable-realm demon couldn¡¯t possibly threaten the red-clothed woman¡¯s life under the eyes of this guardian. it was precisely because of the ji family¡¯s support that the red-clothed woman was so unscrupulous. ¡°you are very strong,¡± the god venerable-realm demon race expert spoke. the red-clothed woman also responded, ¡°you¡¯re not weak either. lees see what you can do.¡± ¡°i¡¯m afraid that you might die at my feet. after all, there¡¯s no one among human cultivators who i can¡¯t kill. a human who can kill me hasn¡¯t been born yet!¡± the red-clothed woman laughed when she heard the arrogant words of the demon race expert. at this point, the demon race expert still hadn¡¯t realized its pending outcome. the red-clothed woman was already prepared to make her move, and only then did the god venerable realm demon race expert become serious. after all, underestimating the enemy was a great contributor to losing one¡¯s life. it would not allow such a hidden danger to exist. with that, a large saber appeared in the hand of this terrifying god venerable-realm expert. the shape of this large saber was strange and extremely terrifying, emitting an aura of death. even ordinary human experts might not be able to withstand it. the large saber emitted a demonic light as it slashed down fiercely at the red-clothed woman. but in fact, the demon¡¯s fate was already decided. as long as there was a quasi-emperor by her side, the red-clothed woman was fearless. this god venerable realm demon race expert was just her whetstone. the ji family¡¯s guardian could tell that this demon race expert was quite talented and could be considered a monstrous genius. unfortunately, since this demon had encountered his master, death would be his end. the red-clothed woman brandished her longsword and fought while releasing terrifying sword energies. this was not a game. in the face of such an opponent, she had to use all her strength. as long as she could forget the existence of her family¡¯s guardian next to her, she would be able to experience the true life and death struggle. with this, she would be able to increase her strength as soon as possible. thinking of this, the red-clothed woman used all her strength to kill this demon race expert. there was no shortage of geniuses in this world. usually, only after geniuses matured could they be considered geniuses. if one died halfway, one was simply not a genius. as the terrifying battle erupted, the red-clothed woman could feel a big gap between her and the demon race expert. the demon race expert was, after all, extraordinary. the other party was worthy of her to take it seriously. the demon race expert could not help but be shocked when it noticed that this red-clothed woman was so bold to take a risk. the latter¡¯s fighting style was simply to kill 1000 enemy soldiers but lose 800. was she not afraid of death? it would never know that there was a quasi-emperor behind the red-clothed woman. as such, even if it could defeat her, it would still be the one to die in the end. what the red-clothed woman wanted to do was to kill this demon race expert while not leaving any flaws. only by doing so could she become stronger. ever since arriving in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, the red-clothed woman had experienced no less than a hundred battles of all scales. she could feel that her bottleneck was loosening. perhaps it would not be long before she could break through. killing like this was simply more useful to her than any natural treasure. after all, natural treasures could only increase her realm. currently, she had realized many shortcomings in her cultivation technique. as long as she could continue to perfect it, she would not be weaker than others in the same realm. ¡°kill!¡± the red-clothed woman shouted and the sword in her hand released an extremely sharp sword energy. even if this demon race expert could block it) it would probably take a lot of effort. seeing the terrifying sword slash coming, the demon race expert felt some fear. following that, it condensed a barrier, wanting to use the barrier to block the attack. its attacks were far inferior to the red-clothed woman¡¯s. ¡°human woman, you have angered me!¡± to no one¡¯s surprise, the barrier formed by the demon race expert was shattered by the red-clothed woman¡¯s sword. the shoulder of this demon race expert was almost chopped off. if it hadn¡¯t dodged in time, this sword would have severely injured it. ¡°die!¡± the red-clothed woman attacked again. this time, her attack was even more terrifying than the previous one. to think she had been holding back! this was the only thought in the mind of the demon race expert. was the previous attack just a probe? one had to know that if it wanted to block this incoming sword attack, it would be under some pressure. when did such a female cultivator appear in the human race? the demon race expert gritted its teeth and burned its blood essence. it seemed that it would be impossible to get rid of this female cultivator without paving a price.. Chapter 758 - Chapter 758: Blood Evasion chapter 758: blood evasion translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the demon race expert believed that as long as it could get rid of the red-clothed woman, it would surely be able to obtain many treasures. even among the human race, it must have taken a lot of effort to nurture such a monstrous genius. therefore, she must have many treasures. it was also at this moment of distraction that the demon race expert inexplicably sensed a vague spiritual will. it immediately broke out in a cold sweat. could it be that there was a powerful guardian with this red-clothed woman? the guardian was hiding. he didn¡¯t have to reveal his aura to the demon race expert, but now he had deliberately done so. in a short moment, many thoughts flashed through the mind of the demon race expert. ¡°so that¡¯s how it is? i¡¯m just a stepping stone.¡± the demon race expert shook its head bitterly. if it dared to kill the red-clothed woman, the guardian behind her would immediately kill it. yet, if it did not resist, it would most likely die at the hands of that red-clothed woman, who was also a monstrous genius among the human race. seeing the red-clothed woman charging over, the demon gritted its teeth and quickly fled. the red-clothed woman shouted and immediately chased after the other party. how could she let this demon race expert escape? the blood feud between humans and demons had been going on for thousands of years and could not be ended. what would be the result of letting the demon race expert go? other humans would die at its hands. ¡°where are you going?!¡± the demon race expert was panicking as it arrived at the foot of a volcano. not far away was the crater of the volcano that was flowing with scorching lava. it was both shocked and furious that the red-clothed woman was still coming after it. no matter how hard it tried, the red-clothed woman would probably still catch up. the foot of the volcano was littered with white bones, including those of humans and demons. next to the volcano was a dense forest. it seemed that the terrifying energy in the volcano was locked underground. the red-clothed woman had already caught up, and she brandished the long sword in her hand. ¡°do you want to commit suicide or die in my hands? choose for yourself.¡± the demon race expert looked at the crater and finally made a decision. ¡°i no longer wish to be your enemy. why are you still unwilling to let me go? a demon asking a human such a question was like natural enemies asking each other why they wouldn¡¯t let go of the natural enmity. the red-clothed woman sneered. she stepped through the void and arrived in front of the demon race expert. then, she slowly said, ¡°since you don¡¯t want to commit suicide, i¡¯ll help you!¡¯ the demon race expert laughed wildly. the aura on its body suddenly became countless times stronger as it turned into a rain of blood and disappeared. the red-clothed woman instantly felt the fluctuations in the void. she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°to think it¡¯s the blood escape!¡¯ the secret technique was obviously no ordinary low-level cultivation technique. since the other party could escape while being so close to her, the technique had most definitely been cultivated to the top level. that being said, the price of activating such a technique was also very high. when the demon race expert appeared again, it was standing next to the crater of the volcano. it spat out a mouthful of blood and its face was flushed. it was obvious that it could no longer use blood escape any time soon as it was a huge burden on it. however, it was quite proud of itself for pulling away in a very short time. ¡°stop chasing me. i¡¯ll jump into the crater. follow me if you¡¯re not afraid of death!¡± under the immense temperature, the clothes of the demon race expert turned into ashes. then, it revealed its armor of silver scales and jumped into the volcano.. Chapter 759 - Chapter 759: Cunning Humans chapter 759: cunning humans translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the red-clothed woman stayed at the volcano for a long time before sighing. although she had a divine weapon that could ward off fire, there was no point in her expending so much effort to chase after the demon race expert. after the demon race expert fell into the volcano, the surging power attacked it. it was able to survive not because of its monstrous defense, but because it had a fiery red bead that could ward off fire. otherwise, it would have long died in the volcano. the flames in the volcano were not ordinary. even stronger demons in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground would be severely injured. it was just that the demon race expert could only survive if it made the red-clothed woman believe that it was dead. otherwise, it would either be killed by the red-clothed woman or her guardian. ¡°humans are really cunning.¡± when the demon race expert thought about how it had become a target of hunting in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, anger surged in its chest. this was the territory of the demon race. unexpectedly, the demon race had declined to such an extent. to think they were being beaten up by humans in their own homes. if the glory of the ancient era could be restored, these greedy human cultivators would¡¯ve probably all died. how would they dare to take half a step into the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground? on the other side, qin chen and the others had already increased their speed as they continued to advance. their goal was simple, and that was to not stop. this was because if they did, not only would they face the pursuit of the demon race experts, but also the revenge of the thousand yin holy sect. the people of the thousand yin holy sect probably weren¡¯t expecting them to escape from the dangerous land of death underworld mountain alive. unfortunately, their whereabouts were now exposed. in addition, quite a number of cultivators from the thousand yin holy sect had entered the demon race¡¯s forbidden grounds. perhaps those guys were searching for their whereabouts as they spoke. once they were discovered) it would be a fierce battle. no matter how much qin chen and the others wanted to get out of this matter, the other party would surely not let it go so easily. otherwise, where would the thousand yin holy sect put their face? in this world, the thousand yin holy sect was a supreme orthodoxy. qin chen and the others weren¡¯t so great as to make them stop their current actions. unless¡­ qin chen could kill them all. there were quite a number of the thousand yin holy sect¡¯s ordinary disciples in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. if qin chen and the others were to start a massacre, the other party would probably not have a good time. the cultivators who could be selected to enter the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground were all extremely talented. every one of them was a good seedling. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± qin chen led the group and left quickly. they shuttled through the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. one thing to note was that there was also some kind of spatial distortion in the forbidden ground, which meant it should have been opened up by a powerful demon. after all, they had been in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground for so long, but they still hadn¡¯t reached the border. ¡°if we can find the border, we should be able to leave.¡± the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it would be since they had long been targeted by the thousand yin holy sect. escaping from here meant that it wouldn¡¯t be easy for the thousand yin holy sect to find them again. at that time, qin chen and the others could disguise themselves with a secret technique and ordinary people would not be able to recognize them unless they took the initiative to attack. if they split up and traveled in smaller units, it would be even harder for them to be discovered. at that time, even if the thousand yin holy sect¡¯s power covered the entire world, they would be able to hide easily. ¡°roar!¡± Chapter 760 - Chapter 760: Lizard Demon Race chapter 760: lizard demon race translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the roars of some kind of demon race could be heard from the distant forest. qin chen¡¯s eyes flickered with light. it seemed like there was a powerful existence in front of them. the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground contained many great opportunities. to put it bluntly, as long as one could survive, one might be able to step into the quasi-emperor realm in the future. ¡°elder king, there seems to be danger ahead. should we still go over?¡± the big scorpion was very shocked by this aura. the demons ahead might not be ordinary characters. qin chen said calmly, ¡°we¡¯ve survived all kinds of danger. why would we be afraid of a demonic beast?¡± the big scorpion smiled bashfully and followed the crowd. soon after, some kind of natural treasure appeared on the ground. it seemed to be extremely extraordinary. however, they did not see any demonic beasts guarding them nearby. the big scorpion hurriedly went up and kept the natural treasure. he was not stupid. the demonic beast guarding this place had obviously been driven away, which caused such a situation. at the same time, there was only one possibility, and that was that the demonic beast they were about to face was extremely terrifying. only if that was so could the demon intimidate the other demonic beasts. otherwise, no demonic beast would be willing to leave their treasures on the ground. ¡°be careful.¡± qin chen sensed a powerful aura. this brutal aura was their indicator, telling them that the demonic beast was getting closer and closer to them. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were ready, rubbing their fists, eager to make a move. if not for the complicated terrain of the demon races forbidden ground, they would not have encountered so many demons. as the landscape widened, they heard the sound of running water. there should be some kind of lake or stream ahead. ¡°what powerful spiritual energy!¡± holy maiden mu xue exclaimed in surprise. the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered her body and increased her cultivation. if this place was in the outside world, it would be a paradise. who knew how many large sects would take action to take this place as their own ? just as they continued to move forward, pairs of eyes opened, revealing blood-red pupils. qin chen and the others got closer. clearly, they had been discovered by the demons here. the demons were patiently waiting for them to arrive. they didn¡¯t take the initiative to attack. instead, they chose to wait. this way, they could catch their prey off guard. as they were walking, qin chen suddenly roared, telling everyone to retreat. before the big scorpion could figure out what was going on, he was knocked back by a lizard-like demon who almost left a bloody hole in him. ¡°what¡¯s going on?!¡± such lizard demons were increasing. they crawled while making sounds that made one¡¯s scalp go numb. ¡°why are there other demons here?¡± this question was obviously pointless to ask at this moment because there was only one explanation for the existence of these demons here, and that was that they might be that terrifying demon¡¯s race. ¡°everyone, be careful. these lizards are not easy to deal with.¡± the true dragon discovered that these lizard demons had the bloodline of some other extraordinary existence. its true dragon pressure was useless against them. if only the true dragon¡¯s realm was a little higher, it might have been able to suppress them. soon, the lizard demons began to roar. without waiting for qin chen and the others to react, they disappeared and attacked. the lizards¡¯ scales had very strong defensive power. for a while, even the true dragon and the others were helpless against the annoying scales.. Chapter 761 - Chapter 761: Two Types of Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns chapter 761: two types of heaven and earth dao patterns translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen shook his head. he knew that ordinary attacks would not be effective and started thinking about how to get rid of the lizards. if they did not get rid of them fast, it was very likely that they would attract an even more terrifying existence. ¡°let¡¯s end this quickly and destroy them!¡± the flame-wing beast spewed out terrifying flames, burning a few lizards to ashes. ¡°puny things!¡± the big scorpion waved the large saber in his hand, and his demonic power erupted, ¡°your grandpa scorpion is here! i¡¯ll send you on your way!¡¯ a huge battle erupted at lightning speed. no matter how prepared qin chen and the others were, they simply couldn¡¯t have known that the tyrannical and powerful demon here had a whole race behind it. in other words, the powerful demon they were going to face later should be a terrifying lizard king. at the thought of this, everyone broke out in cold sweat. at the same time, they realized that although they could destroy the lizards in a short time, the latter¡¯s vitality was very tenacious. even if they were only left with one breath, they would continue to attack. ¡°there are heaven and earth dao patterns on these scales.¡± qin chen grabbed a half-dead lizard that still had a look in its eyes as if it wanted to devour him. after qin chen crushed it to death, he made a discovery. there were countless heaven and earth dao patterns on the scales. the reason why the lizard demons had such a strong defense was likely because of this. if one could comprehend the heaven and earth dao patterns on it, it should be easy to break through the defense of these lizards. although the true dragon and the others were fighting non-stop, the lizard demons came from all directions. they gathered and made it difficult for the crowd to deal with them. the situation became deadlocked. as time passed, everyone felt increasingly uneasy. it was hard to tell where this uneasiness came from, but they knew that their encounter with the lizard demons here was no coincidence. if this dragged on, the situation was likely to get worse. ¡°wonderful, truly wonderful!¡± qin chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh in amazement as he was immersed in observing the dao patterns of heaven and earth on the scales. he discovered something interesting. there were actually two different types of dao patterns on them. in other words, it was very likely that the lizards were born with only one type of heaven and earth dao pattern, but under certain circumstances, they developed a second type of dao pattern. the two dao patterns were incompatible with each other, but they displayed astonishing defensive power. it was as if they had been born with it. this made qin chen quite shocked and amazed. that being said, his emotions of shock did not last any longer as he had already comprehended one of the heaven and earth dao patterns on the scales. now, there was only one left. when he comprehended both types of heaven and earth dao patterns, he would be able to replicate the dao patterns. at that time, if he wanted to break through the lizard demons¡¯ defense, it would be as easy as abc. as everyone fought with all their might, more and more lizard demon corpses piled up on the ground at the crowd¡¯s feet. blood flowed out, dyeing the stream red. very soon, qin chen comprehended the second dao pattern as well. his eyes shone with sharpness as he casually grabbed a lizard. the lizard wanted to struggle, but it instantly discovered that its scales had exploded.. Chapter 762 - Chapter 762: Lizard King chapter 762: lizard king translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen had only injected the spiritual energy in his body into one of the lizard¡¯s scales, and the following explosion was like a chain reaction. the pitiful lizard was instantly killed. when the big scorpion saw this, he could not help but exclaim in surprise, ¡°elder king, is it that easy to deal with these lizard demons? after that, qin chen told everyone to stop. countless lizards surrounded him, but he simply stretched out his hand and shot out streams of spiritual energy into their scales. in an instant, the lizards self-destructed one after another. the scene was especially spectacular. other than the ground under qin chen¡¯s feet, only deep pits were left. almost all of the demons were wiped out, leaving only a small number of lizards who retreated in fear of being killed. they growled as if threatening qin chen to leave quickly. these small lizards were nothing to qin chen. he did not do anything. instead, he started recovering and adjusting his state because he had already guessed that the lizard king was observing them in the dark. although he didn¡¯t know where the other party was hiding, it was very likely that the other party would launch an astonishing attack in the next second. seeing qin chen starting to recover, everyone seemed to understand something. they quickly did the same in case of danger. soon, a shocking demonic energy exploded in the air, and a human-bodied lizard appeared. he was the lizard king hiding in the dark. originally, the lizard king thought that its descendants could easily take care of these humans. just the sheer number of its descendants should be able to bury them. he did not expect qin chen to turn the tide of the battle in a short time and destroy most of his lizard descendants. once the lizard king appeared, the surviving small lizard demons kneeled and worshipped it. their eyes were filled with incomparable fanaticism. these human cultivators had intruded into their territory, but not only did they not surrender, they even dared to resist. however, now that their king had appeared, it was akin to a death announcement for these human cultivators. qin chen and the others were incomparably shocked. they did not expect the lizard king to have such terrifying strength. ¡°human, you shouldn¡¯t have come here.¡± the lizard king spoke in human language, which made them extremely surprised. it seemed that the other party had already grown intelligence. qin chen couldn¡¯t help but treat the lizard king seriously, ¡°we don¡¯t have any other thoughts. we just want to pass by your territory and obtain some natural treasures while we¡¯re at it. if you¡¯re willing to take some out, we¡¯ll leave immediately.¡± the lizard king seemed to have heard a great joke. these human cultivators weren¡¯t as powerful as him, yet they still asked him for treasures. did they think he was a pushover? ¡°do you have a death wish? to think you still can¡¯t judge the situation. you¡¯re already very lucky that i didn¡¯t kill you. yet, you¡¯re still so greedy and want my treasures!¡± the lizard king almost couldn¡¯t control his anger. ¡°you killed so many of my descendants. how do you want to die? tell me. i can consider leaving your corpses intact as food for my descendants.¡± ¡°then you should consider carefully. i¡¯ve already comprehended the two heaven and earth dao patterns on the scales of your descendants,¡± qin chen said coldly. he knew that the dao pattern should be the lizard king¡¯s trump card, and he had already broken its strongest technique.. Chapter 763 - Chapter 763: Don ‘t Be Too Arrogant chapter 763: don ¡®t be too arrogant translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio hearing qin chen¡¯s threat, the lizard king would¡¯ve already killed him if looks could kill. indeed, the two heaven and earth dao patterns on the lizards¡¯ scales were his trump card. it was all thanks to the terrifying defense the dao patterns brought that he could drive away so many demons. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to defend this territory. he did not expect this ordinary human cultivator to be able to crack the heaven and earth dao patterns in such a short time. demonic beasts had an incomparably long lifespan, but they did not have the abnormal talent of humans to comprehend the great path of heaven and earth. thus, after reaching his current realm, the lizard king had spent more than a hundred years to finally, by chance, control another type of heaven and earth dao pattern other than the innate one. he used it on his scales to unleash incomparably terrifying power, which was why he could occupy this place. ¡°you should be a prodigy of a supreme human orthodoxy, right?¡± the scales on the lizard king¡¯s body emitted a dazzling light. ¡°if you don¡¯t want to die here, i¡¯ll give you a chance now. get lost and never appear in front of me again,¡± the lizard king laughed sinisterly, ¡°otherwise, no one will know that you died here, and the faction behind you won¡¯t be able to avenge you.¡± everyone laughed in their hearts. the lizard king probably didn¡¯t know that they were being chased by the thousand yin holy sect. this was not where they were from. they were from the nine heavens and ten lands. such a harmless threat had no power at all. qin chen brandished the innate sword embryo and said slowly, ¡°why don¡¯t i give you a chance? as long as you hand over some natural treasures, i¡¯ll pretend that nothing happened.¡± instantly, the lizard king could not sit still anymore. he roared angrily, and his soaring demonic power was extremely shocking, ¡°junior, you are too arrogant! i¡¯ll give you a piece of advice. young people shouldn¡¯t be too arrogant! otherwise, you will break easily!¡¯ the lizard king attacked as he spoke. he knew that qin chen had grasped his weakness, so he naturally attacked this human cultivator first. if he could suppress qin chen, the others would not be a threat at all. sensing the boundless terrifying aura, the crowd realized that the lizard king had almost reached level 9 of the god venerable realm. furthermore, he was far more terrifying than the golden crystal white tiger from before as he might break through at any time. if he did, even qin chen and the others would be in great danger of dying. the supreme heavenly origin armor appeared on qin chen¡¯s body as he channeled all of his spiritual energy into it. with this, the supreme heavenly origin armor was revived, and it shone brightly. ¡°this is¡­?¡± the lizard king noticed that a precious armor had suddenly appeared on qin chen. it was definitely a rare treasure, otherwise, the human cultivator wouldn¡¯t have worn it. if he killed qin chen, this treasure would be his! the lizard kings eyes were filled with greed. his figure tore through the void and arrived in front of qin chen. he swiped down with his claw, bringing with it a terrifying demonic power. an ear-piercing sound rang out. after a series of metal-clashing sounds, the lizard king decisively retreated. ¡°a treasure!¡± qin chen didn¡¯t suffer any injuries. the supreme heavenly origin armor had successfully blocked the lizard king¡¯s attack.. Chapter 764 - Chapter 764: Who Are You? chapter 764: who are you? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen smiled. he had almost figured out the lizard king¡¯s strength. in contrast, the lizard king was still completely immersed in ecstasy. he vowed to get the treasured armor. as long as he killed qin chen here, no one would know. the lizard king instantly erupted with a terrifying aura, and pure demonic power bloomed from his hands. qin chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and injected his spiritual energy into it, reviving the extreme emperor weapon completely. although he was still unable to fully control the extreme emperor weapon with his current cultivation, the astonishing might that erupted from it made the lizard king feel uneasy. ¡°who exactly are you? the lizard king had never seen such a terrifying weapon before. the aura it emitted made him feel like he was facing a demon emperor. the human cultivator in front of him must have a powerful background. unfortunately, the current situation was that one of them had to die. if he didn¡¯t kill qin chen, he wouldn¡¯t be able to survive. soon, the lizard king made a decision. he let out a furious roar, and his hands turned into sharp claws. after being refined, his claws had long become a terrifying weapon. they possessed supreme sharpness and were his natal magic item. the lizard king would not hold back against qin chen. ¡°die!¡± he roared. even if this human cultivator had an amazing defensive treasure armor, he wanted to try to break it. the lizard king¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. after killing qin chen, all the other party¡¯s treasures would belong to him. there might be things that could help him breakthrough! seeing the lizard king charging towards him, qin chen didn¡¯t move. after all, the innate sword embryo in his hand was his greatest reliance. the lizard king could not kill him any time soon, and he could use the time to find the other party¡¯s weakness. the sharp claws collided with the innate sword embryo, emitting a heart-shaking rhythm. everyone¡¯s expressions changed drastically. such an attack was not something they could approach. if they went over, they might die. qin chen used his secret sword technique to force the lizard king to retreat. on the other hand, the lizard king relied on its powerful realm to suppress qin chen for some time, forcing the latter to passively resist. ¡°if i¡¯m not wrong, once your spiritual energy is exhausted, you¡¯ll not be able to activate these two treasures anymore.¡± the lizard king had seen through qin chen¡¯s weakness. as long as he dragged it out, the latter would naturally be defeated and killed. he couldn¡¯t kill qin chen any time soon. qin chen naturally wouldn¡¯t just sit there and wait for death. under the lizard king¡¯s continuous attacks, he couldn¡¯t even take a breather to recover his spiritual energy by consuming natural resources. therefore, he could only fight and retreat, moving along the stream. soon, the two of them moved so far away that they entered the forest. countless giant trees were turned into dust by the aftershocks of the battle. it was enough to imagine how shocking their strength was. everyone could only see qin chen¡¯s figure moving rapidly. it was obvious that he had torn through the void several times in a short time. after all, if he moved with his normal speed, he wouldn¡¯t be able to shift positions before his movements were disrupted by the lizard king¡¯s torrential attacks. the lizard king had already made up his mind to kill qin chen as he discovered that the latter was a treasure trove. although he didn¡¯t know how many treasures there were in the treasure trove, as long as he could get rid of qin chen, he would certainly be able to break through to the peak of the god venerable realm.. Chapter 765 - Chapter 765: Thousand Demon Talisman chapter 765: thousand demon talisman translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio at that time, even if human experts came, it would be useless. the lizard king didn¡¯t care how powerful qin chen was. in his opinion, if such a human expert didn¡¯t die, the demons would have another great enemy. therefore, the best way now was to kill qin chen now and take advantage of the fact that he had yet to fully mature. although this method was somewhat despicable, the lizard king would not let go of such a good opportunity. this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. if he allowed qin chen to escape, the latter might hide and never appear again. moreover, qin chen had killed so many of his descendants. the many lizard corpses on the ground had already determined that there was no way the two could reconcile. the lizard king refused to miss even the slightest chance. similarly, qin chen was also prepared. no matter how great the price, he would kill the lizard king. since the lizard king wanted to die so badly, he would send him on his way. after all, he had killed existences that were even more terrifying than the lizard king. the puny lizard king was not worthy of him escaping just like that. ¡°shit!¡± soon, qin chen discovered that his spiritual energy was about to be exhausted. however, the lizard king was still staring at him like a wolf, constantly testing him. at this moment, qin chen suddenly sensed a slight fluctuation. he actually sensed a trace of powerful divinity fluctuation in this place. he had long known that there were likely remnants left behind by the demon race¡¯s great emperors in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. as long as he could find those remnants, he would be able to check-in. at that time, the lizard king would be a small fry that he could easily toy with to death. qin chen closed in on the powerful divinity aura, hiding his movements from the lizard king. finally, he found it, and his eyes were filled with joy. [ding dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] the system notification rang in qin chen¡¯s mind. he chose to check in without hesitation. [ding dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in at the ruins of a demon race¡¯s great emperor. you have received the reward, myriad demon talisman!] [myriad demon talisman: a one-time consumable. it is a treasure refined from the blood essence of a powerful demon emperor. it is one of a kind. it can unleash powerful demonic power to kill god venerables and injure quasi-emperors.] qin chen was incomparably shocked that he had actually obtained such a precious treasure from checking in. it was obviously not worth it to use this thing to kill the lizard king. this was because although the lizard king was powerful, it was only a level 9 god venerable-realm expert. it had not even reached the peak of the god venerable realm. in contrast, this myriad demon talisman was a treasure that could injure quasi-emperors. even the large sects did not have many such treasures. ¡°kid, you don¡¯t have any trump cards left, right? then it¡¯s my turn now!¡± seeing qin chen stop, the lizard king guessed that he should be at the end of his rope and that he wouldn¡¯t be able to use those two treasures for much longer. in the eyes of the lizard king, qin chen was just a harmless little lamb. following this, a talisman emitting a mysterious light appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. as long as he didn¡¯t activate it, the lizard king wouldn¡¯t be able to detect its aura. ¡°why do you think i don¡¯t have any other trump cards?¡± ¡°brat, are you still playing tricks? do you think you can scare me like this?¡± the lizard king laughed wildly as if he could already see qin chen die in his nanas.. Chapter 766 - Chapter 766: The Frightened Lizard King chapter 766: the frightened lizard king translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio since the lizard king could roam the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground and comprehend two types of heaven and earth dao patterns, he was naturally extremely powerful. before him, the ordinary human cultivator was as weak as an ant. the other party simply stood no chance of turning the tables. at this moment, he could already sense that qin chen¡¯s spiritual energy was about to be exhausted. the latter no longer had the ability to activate the two supreme treasures. after taking care of qin chen, his strength would rise to another level. not to mention that the other party had so many secrets¡­ perhaps this was a great opportunity for him. ¡°brat! i¡¯ll let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!¡± the lizard king¡¯s eyes were filled with a fierce light. it was extremely terrifying. boundless shocking demonic energy shook the ground as the lizard king stepped through the void and arrived before qin chen. he stretched out a huge claw, wanting to kill the latter. qin chen could feel an indescribable power bombarding his body. fortunately, he had the supreme heavenly origin armor, which could help him withstand this attack. ¡°pu!¡± qin chen spat out a mouthful of blood. this made the lizard king even crazier, ¡®you¡¯re at your end, right? don¡¯t worry, those two treasures won¡¯t go to waste after falling into my hands!¡± in the blink of an eye, the lizard king, which had stopped attacking for a split second just now, suddenly launched another attack. the continuous attacks landed on qin chen. in response, the supreme heavenly origin armor burst out with a dazzling light. no one knew how long this treasured armor could last. a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of qin chen¡¯s mouth. with his current strength, he could still barely withstand the attacks. he originally did not want to use the myriad demon talisman, but he had no choice now. he had to get rid of the lizard king, or else the other party would not let him off. thinking of this, qin chen poured his spiritual energy into the myriad demon talisman, and the extremely ordinary talisman instantly released terrifying power. the power was enough to shock everyone. this included the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others who were thousands of miles away. the flame-wing beast was shocked, ¡°this pure demonic energy¡­ could it be that the lizard king has broken through?¡± if the other party broke through at this time, it would definitely cause a big blow to them. it was no different from a huge disaster. after all, none of them could resist the demon races lizard king then. the myriad demon talisman in qin chen¡¯s hand erupted with astonishing might. there was nowhere to hide from it on the ground. the lizard king was extremely horrified. facing such terrifying demonic power, he felt as if a demon emperor had been reborn and descended to the mortal world. ¡°this¡­ how was this possible? who exactly are you?¡± he was already panicking and almost wanted to escape. under the powerful might, the lizard king had a bad premonition. a strong sense of unease gradually rose in his heart. ¡°even if a demon race¡¯s great emperor were to awaken, his aura wouldn¡¯t be that powerful.¡± qin chen looked at the lizard king with a smile on his face. as a demon, he could feel the terrifying power even more. the lizard king was about to be frightened out of his wits. he simply couldn¡¯t figure out the human cultivator¡¯s background. could the other party be from the demon race too? when the lizard king thought of this, he shook his head vigorously and told himself that it was impossible. after all, he didn¡¯t sense any demonic power from qin chen, so the latter couldn¡¯t possibly have a half-demon bloodline. putting that aside, the first thing he had to do now was to face qin chen. he had to escape as soon as possible, otherwise, he might not be able to leave.. Chapter 767 - Chapter 767: Pay to Preserve One’s Life chapter 767: pay to preserve one¡¯s life translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°it¡¯s absolutely impossible for you to have such great power!¡± at this point, the lizard king could not hide the panic in his heart. ¡°did you obtain a demon race inheritance by chance? based on the aura alone, even ordinary demons couldn¡¯t possibly have such a powerful aura. it was enough to imagine what realm the owner of this aura had been in. just a mere thought from the other party would probably be enough to kill him at a distance of ten thousand miles away. only existences like the demon race¡¯s great emperor could do such a feat. therefore, the lizard king was ready to escape. facing qin chen¡¯s methods, he had no way to resist at all. staying here would only lead to his death, so he might as well think of a way to escape now. ¡°damn it!¡± the lizard king¡¯s heart was filled with shock when he suddenly realized that he had no chance of escaping because the void had been sealed. no matter how he moved, he would be exposed under qin chen¡¯s eyes. as long as the other party wanted to make a move, he would surely die without a burial place. ¡°my friend, i think we can talk. don¡¯t you want some natural treasures? i¡¯m willing to hand them over with both hands. how about we end this matter? don¡¯t worry, i won¡¯t tell anyone about your whereabouts.¡± no matter how stupid the lizard king was, he could guess that qin chen was probably backed by a faction that was absolutely terrifying. his background might even involve many things. given the lizard king¡¯s current realm, once he was involved, there would only be death. the right thing to do now was thus to lower his head and beg qin chen for mercy. the situation had reversed. the lizard king, which was originally in the winning position, had suddenly become the weaker party. he felt quite uncertain as well, not knowing how qin chen would deal with him. qin chen looked at the shrewd demon with a playful expression. he knew that the other party was afraid of force and soft to compliance. if he didn¡¯t have any trump cards, he might have been mercilessly shredded into pieces. as such, he did not have any intention of letting such a demon go. it would be best if he could destroy the other party. after all, if he didn¡¯t kill the lizard king, what if the latter exposed his whereabouts after he left? that would truly bring endless trouble. that being said, qin chen decided to play with the lizard king first. ¡°oh, so you want to talk to me.¡± qin chen feigned innocence. the lizard king hurriedly said, ¡°my friend, you can take away any natural treasure in my hands as long as you like it. i won¡¯t even bat an eyelid. my descendants only lost their lives because they attacked you without permission. this matter is not your fault. instead, it¡¯s my fault for not disciplining them properly.¡± at this moment, the lizard king was as self-diminishing as he could be, causing qin chen to burst into laughter. ¡°i wonder what kind of treasures you have that you¡¯re willing to give me? even if qin chen didn¡¯t say anything now, the lizard king would take out all his things and hand over all his assets just to buy his own life. ¡°don¡¯t worry, my friend. i¡¯ve been here for so many years, so i¡¯ve naturally collected quite a number of good items. there are even some that the demons can¡¯t use. i do have some items that the humans consider as supreme treasures.¡± with that, the lizard king waved his hand and countless treasures fell out of his spatial treasure. seeing so many treasures, qin chen could not help but exclaim in his heart that the other party was literally like a mobile treasure vault. this old thing hid his wealth well and one simply couldn¡¯t tell.. Chapter 768 - Chapter 768: Heavenly Dragon Mountain chapter 768: heavenly dragon mountain translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio looking at the mountains of natural treasures on the ground, qin chen couldn¡¯t help but feel tempted. however, these things were far from enough for him to raise his hand and let this demon go. after all, although the natural treasures on the ground were many, rare ones were few. compared to the natural treasures qin chen had previously obtained, they could barely be considered average. ¡°is this all you have?¡± qin chen glanced at the mountain of natural treasures on the ground and asked. the lizard king exclaimed in his heart that the human cultivator was simply too cunning. he didn¡¯t expect that even after he took all his assets out, he still couldn¡¯t satisfy the other party¡¯s appetite. ¡°my friend, all my things are here. if you can find any other treasures on me, i will kneel and kowtow to you without saying a word.¡± then, the lizard king abruptly changed the topic, ¡°i wonder if you¡¯ve heard of heavenly dragon mountain? ¡°heavenly dragon mountain?¡± qin chen hadn¡¯t heard of it before. after all, he was not from the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. in contrast, the lizard king had lived here all his life and reached his current realm here. it was a given that he knew more secrets. ¡°tell me, what kind of place is this heavenly dragon mountain? or is it some kind of treasure? the lizard king seemed to be filled with memories. ¡°the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground includes many places left behind from the ancient era. those places exist in extremely secretive hidden spaces. ordinary people can¡¯t find them, but those places contain many benefits. i was able to comprehend the second type of heaven and earth dao pattern because i obtained an opportunity in one of those places. if you go, my friend, you might gain even more.¡± ¡°heavenly dragon mountain is one of the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. i observed that there is a true dragon among your followers and its bloodline is extraordinary. as a major power in the ancient era, the dragon race was a very powerful force. presumably, not only can the ruins help the dragon increase their strength, but it might also contain some wealth that outsiders cannot imagine.¡± qin chen sneered in his heart. the lizard king¡¯s words were indeed pleasant to hear. even a mortal would be tempted. he could probably guess what the lizard king was going to say next. the latter was most likely trying to use this information as a condition for him to spare his life. ¡°i will not hide this from you. only i can find heavenly dragon mountain. without me leading the way, ordinary people will most likely be unable to enter.¡± the lizard king had been beating around the bush, but qin chen had already seen through his intentions. ¡°heavenly dragon mountain is extremely dangerous. however, i am willing to risk my life to bring you in.¡± the lizard king patted his chest as if he was willing to go through fire and water for qin chen. it was as if he was making a huge sacrifice, and the whole act made people speechless. no one could compare to how thick-skinned he was. ¡°well, lead the way. if there really is a great opportunity in heavenly dragon mountain, we can indeed talk about it.¡± qin chen was someone who wouldn¡¯t let go until he saw real benefits. since the lizard king had thrown out such a big bait, he would take it. if the lizard king dared to fool him, he would just kill him on the spot. the most important thing was that qin chen heard that there was the ruin of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race there. the opportunities inside might be able to make the true dragon more powerful. this way, he would have an even more powerful helper with him. he was willing to fight for such benefits. if he killed the lizard king in advance, he might not be able to find the whereabouts of heavenly dragon mountain.. Chapter 769 - Chapter 769: Enter chapter 769: enter translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the lizard king wiped his sweat as he lamented the fact that the human cultivator wasn¡¯t easy to fool. he almost failed to mediate. ¡°i have to find a chance to escape.¡± as long as he was still alive, there would be hope. at most, he would just leave this place. he didn¡¯t believe that qin chen could find him again in the huge demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. when the lizard king appeared in front of everyone, the latter all revealed their killing intent. the true dragon thought to himself, ¡°could it be that the elder king died at the hands of the lizard king? in that case, i must avenge the elder king even if i die.¡± not only the true dragon, but the others also thought the same. after all, the elder king had treated them well. throughout so many years, if it wasn¡¯t for the elder king¡¯s help, how could they have broken through to their current realm? seeing the lizard king walking towards them, everyone was already prepared to fight to the death. if the elder king had died, they would take revenge for him! although the terrifying lizard king emitted an extremely terrifying aura that made them feel apprehensive, no one had any intention of retreating. instead, they charged straight over. at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in the distance. it was the elder king! ¡°this¡­ it¡¯s the elder king!¡¯ instantly, everyone was stunned on the spot. they could not imagine how the lizard king could reach an agreement with the elder king. ¡°you¡¯re still alive! elder king! this is great! i knew you wouldn¡¯t die so easily!¡¯ the big scorpion was so excited that he almost couldn¡¯t speak clearly. qin chen only smiled, ¡°why? you wish for me to die?¡± the big scorpion quickly shook his head. after they heard about the matter with heavenly dragon mountain, the true dragon could not control its emotions. the ancient era¡¯s dragon race was an extremely powerful force. it had perhaps even produced dragons who were comparable to quasi-emperors. once the true dragon could obtain some benefits and opportunities from the dragon race¡¯s ruins, it might be able to break through. at that time, it would be able to become even stronger. for the true dragon, it was a chance to be reborn. how could it not remember such a great favor? the future was long. as long as the elder king gave the order, regardless of whether it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, the true dragon wouldn¡¯t even blink even if it had to head to the 18th level of hell. after everyone was prepared, the lizard king readily brought them to heavenly dragon mountain. it had to be said that the lizard king was indeed quite powerful in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. many demons avoided him when they saw him, trying to avoid conflict with him. as for the human cultivators, they also did not dare to approach after sensing such a terrifying aura, for fear that they would be targeted and killed. at this moment, qin chen and the others were getting closer and closer to heavenly dragon mountain which the lizard king had mentioned. they stopped at the peak of a mountain. looking around) qin chen used his heart to sense the fluctuations in the surroundings. logically speaking, since heavenly dragon mountain existed in space, some subtle spatial changes were unavoidable. however, he couldn¡¯t notice anything unusual at all. the lizard king walked and stopped for some time before stopping not far away and activating all his demonic power. soon, the sky was filled with dark clouds and a crack actually appeared above their heads, leaking out an extraordinary aura. could it be that heavenly dragon mountain was there? everyone was extremely surprised. they had never thought that there would be such a place in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground.. Chapter 770 - Chapter 770: Dragon Bone chapter 770: dragon bone translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the crack grew bigger and bigger, only stopping when it was enough for qin chen and the others to enter all at once. speaking of which, this was all thanks to the erosion of time over countless years. without it, heavenly dragon mountain which was in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground would not have appeared so easily. after all, this was once a huge force. even among the human race, there were not many sects that could be compared to it. now, it was time to enter heavenly dragon mountain. ¡°we¡¯re here now. everyone can prepare to enter but be careful. i don¡¯t think i need to say more about the dangers involved,¡± the lizard king said softly. he was also very cautious. after all, the lizard king had once entered the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. although he had managed to survive that time, it was also because he had been extremely lucky. it could be considered a coincidence that he managed to survive. it was also from that time that the lizard king obtained an opportunity to grasp and comprehend a second heaven and earth dao pattern, thus successfully reaching his current realm and becoming a powerful overlord in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, occupying a region. no one dared to be careless. casualties in such ruins were the highest. if they were not careful, they might die. not to mention that this was the ruins of a first-class ancient power, the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. soon, qin chen followed the lead of the lizard king and entered, and the others followed suit. when they entered the crack, the crack on the outside automatically disappeared as if it had never appeared. they didn¡¯t know what kind of place they had come to. before their eyes was a huge mountain-like dragon bone that lay on the ground, emitting an extremely terrifying pressure. it was as if the bone would wake up in the next moment and start attacking people. the true dragon felt the blood in its body boiling. it felt like something was calling it. this was the natural sense of closeness among dragons. unfortunately, the true dragon was too weak. compared to this ancient dragon that had died countless years ago, it was like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly. qin chen patted the true dragon¡¯s shoulder and continued walking forward. a complicated feeling emerged in the true dragon¡¯s heart. it had unknowingly owed the elder king so many things. god knows how it could repay him. soon, they saw a dilapidated palace in front of them. the palace was extremely domineering, seemingly unique in the world. countless years ago, the ancient era¡¯s dragon race must have been extremely prosperous and powerful. however, they ultimately declined. even the dragons of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had all died. as for whether there would be some branches in other places, this was unknown. when the big scorpion saw this scene, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°nothing in this can escape the fate of falling after climbing to the peak. i wonder if we have the chance to step onto the highest throne in this era? hearing this, the lizard king was stunned. he did not expect this weak demon to have such great ambitions. it was a pity that the big scorpion was too weak and his talent was not good. otherwise, his achievements might be greater than the lizard king, given his temperament. qin chen touched the door of the palace and gently pushed it. the heavy stone door opened with a creak. it was as if it had been waiting for their arrival for many years.. Chapter 771 - Chapter 771: Dragon Race Runes chapter 771: dragon race runes translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio not long after they entered the dilapidated palace, they felt many terrifying before qin chen and the others could come to their senses, bloody holes suddenly appeared on them, inflicted by rays of light. they tried to avoid it, not knowing what was going on. ¡°sh*t! there are remnants of restrictions in this place, and they still have extraordinary power.¡± the true dragon quickly told everyone to hide in the corner, which would lessen the chances of being attacked. the lizard king did not expect the dilapidated palace to be even more dangerous than the last time he came. he had originally planned to continue exploring this treasure land after he had gotten stronger. unfortunately, his strength had not improved much yet. as such, in the face of such a terrifying attack, the lizard king could only keep dodging. if he was hit by the restriction, he would likely be seriously injured. it was even possible that he would die in one blow. this was not child¡¯s play. it was related to his life. therefore, the lizard king couldn¡¯t care less about the enmity between them and followed the crowd to hide in the corner. the attacks here had indeed lessened by quite a bit. slowly, the attacks finally came to a stop. at this point, a huge hole had appeared on qin chen as well. one had to know that he hadn¡¯t noticed the supreme heavenly origin armor being pierced through just now. qin chen frowned slightly. in other words, the ruin of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race was extremely strange as the restrictions could directly attack his body. his defense was nothing here. there was no chance of survival at all. if a few more restrictions landed on him, he might be blasted into pieces. the lizard king hurriedly told qin chen to hide in the corner as well. who knew what kind of terrifying danger might be in this dragon race¡¯s palace? when qin chen arrived next to everyone, dense runes appeared on the wall. the runes didn¡¯t look like the language of the human race or the language of the demon race. it should be some kind of dragon language. ¡°this¡­ what is it?¡± they could feel that the origin of these runes was probably not simple. could they be offensive? they had just arrived at the palace of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race and had already been attacked so fiercely. if this continued, they might not even have the chance to leave alive. qin chen looked at the true dragon. after all, only the true dragon was of the dragon race among them. perhaps it could understand these runes. the true dragon exchanged a glance with qin chen and nodded. it then began to read the runes carefully. the more it read, the more shocked it became. a surprised expression appeared on its face, and it hurriedly reminded qin chen. ¡°this is bad. these runes seem to be some kind of overbearing restriction. in other words, we might not be able to leave this place! at the very least, we can only stay trapped until we broke these runes!¡± as soon as these words were said, everyone instantly felt flustered. they were not afraid of any threat that might come, but now that even their escape route had been cut off, would they really die in the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race if they could not escape? qin chen did sense a binding aura from the runes. runes also appeared on the door where they had just entered. the matter was getting increasingly troublesome. they had thought that they would be able to leave soon. even if they did not get any opportunities, they wouldn¡¯t die here. now, they could only bite the bullet.. Chapter 772 - Chapter 772: Dragon Tooth chapter 772: dragon tooth translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen began to ponder. what were these runes? to think they could even restrain everyone here in such a heaven-defying manner. it was as if even the void in this dilapidated palace had been sealed. the void had become extremely stable, and it was impossible to tear through space and teleport within a small area. under such circumstances, they could only continue to advance as it was impossible to turn back now. they could only see if there was any hope of survival ahead. generally speaking, qin chen and the others would not put themselves in such a dangerous situation. however, they didn¡¯t have a choice now. if they retreated at this critical moment, they might die. the true dragon said apologetically, ¡®elder king, i¡¯m sorry. i¡¯ve put all of you in danger.¡± after all, the reason why they came to this place was because it was a dragon. otherwise, no one would have come. yet now, they could not leave this ancient dragon palace, and there was no telling how many dangers awaited them ahead. the true dragon¡¯s heart was filled with an unknown amount of guilt. unexpectedly, the lizard king spoke up, ¡°it¡¯s not that bad. when i first came here, this was just an appetizer. maybe we can survive.¡± hearing this, qin chen also smiled. it seemed that the lizard king was already certain that he had many secrets. if he died here, the lizard king would probably be in despair. ¡°don¡¯t think about other things. let¡¯s move forward and take a look.¡± after saying that, qin chen walked forward with the innate sword embryo in his hand. he walked to the front and realized that the restrictions had stopped attacking. he then called out to everyone to indicate that it was safe. only then did everyone slowly follow. there were countless runes in the entire dragon palace, all flowing with power. it seemed that they had no way out. even qin chen didn¡¯t know how to break these runes since they contained a mysterious power that was recorded in the dragon race¡¯s language. therefore, he planned to go ahead and see what kind of danger there was. it would not be too late to make a decision then. it was still too early to give up. deep in the true dragon¡¯s heart, guilt surged. it was not cold-blooded. if it could help everyone leave this place, it would rather lose the potential opportunity it could get. god knows how many dangers there would be in this dragon palace. the true dragon couldn¡¯t make everyone stay here just because of its selfishness. qin chen led everyone forward. finally, they saw a tooth wrapped in amber. the tooth was emitting a faint dragon¡¯s might. it was obvious that this was a dragon¡¯s tooth, and the energy contained in it was extremely powerful. everyone immediately became vigilant. they wondered what was with the tooth that had suddenly appeared. the amber was flickering with a faint glow and was as clear as a crystal, perfectly revealing the dragon tooth within. the dragon¡¯s might circulated on the amber, bringing about a shocking pressure. an ancient voice echoed in this dilapidated palace. ¡°who is it who barged in?¡± this sentence made everyone almost freeze on the spot. they never thought that there would be living creatures in this place! could it be that the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had not died completely in the river of time?! ¡°trespassing is a capital offense!¡± a dragon¡¯s roar resounded throughout the place! Chapter 773 - Chapter 773: Misjudgment chapter 773: misjudgment translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio no one knew what was going on with this huge dragon roar. even the lizard king, who had been extremely calm since entering the dragon palace, revealed a panicked expression. ¡°impossible, how can there be living beings in heavenly dragon mountain? this is absolutely impossible!¡± there was only one explanation, and that was that they were not facing a real living being, but an existence in the form of a soul. this was the only way the other party could survive in this world for so long. the dragon should be related to the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. qin chen frowned, ¡°a soul, huh?¡± the fact that the other party¡¯s soul could survive for so long after the ancient era¡¯s dragon race declined was enough to show how powerful it was. perhaps it had been a quasi-emperor-realm expert when it was alive, thus leaving behind a quasi-emperor-realm soul. ¡°senior, you should have died long ago, right? we didn¡¯t enter heavenly dragon mountain intentionally. we came here to accompany this brother of mine.¡± qin chen cupped his hands and gave the true dragon a look. the true dragon immediately came forward and released its dragon might, indicating its identity as a member of the dragon race. the dragon soul from the ancient era¡¯s dragon race was shocked. ¡°peerless talent! if it was in the ancient era, you would have been considered a rare monstrous genius in the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. i didn¡¯t expect that after so many years, a dragon race¡¯s descendant would come just when i thought that the inheritance of the heavenly dragon mountain would end here. this can be considered fate!¡± this was the first time that the true dragon had heard that its talent was outstanding. after all, without the elder king¡¯s help throughout so many years, it would¡¯ve been impossible for it to reach its current realm. now that its identity as a dragon was confirmed, the ancient dragon¡¯s soul would probably not make things difficult for them. ¡°senior, i¡¯m a descendant of the dragon race. i just happened to hear that this place contains the dragon race¡¯s inheritance, so i came here to look for the opportunity. i have no other intentions. these people are all my friends, so please don¡¯t make things difficult for them.¡± having said so much, if the soul of the ancient dragon still insisted on making things difficult for qin chen and the others, qin chen was not some pushover either. if a fight were to ensue, he still had the myriad demon talisman as his trump card. it should not be too difficult for him to escape from the ancient dragon palace with everyone. what they would do next depended on the ancient dragon¡¯s soul attitude. ¡°if that¡¯s the case, then i¡¯ll let it go and let these juniors live.¡± the ancient dragon spirit soul said in a deep voice, ¡°it¡¯s not difficult for you to obtain the dragon race¡¯s opportunities.¡± upon hearing this, the true dragon could not help but be pleasantly surprised. it did not expect to be able to obtain the dragon race¡¯s inheritance so quickly. as such, it hurriedly said excitedly, ¡°senior, thank you!¡± ¡°i don¡¯t want the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race to be cut off here, and i also want to choose a suitable successor. to obtain the inheritance, you have to agree to one condition, and that is to kill everyone present.¡± for a moment, everyone was stunned. what kind of test was this? the true dragon laughed. its voice was hoarse as it said, ¡°senior, if you want a successor, i¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve made a mistake. i¡¯m not that kind of person. since i can¡¯t be the descendant of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race, then i won¡¯t be! in the future, i will also reach the peak!¡± the true dragon simply couldn¡¯t make a move against qin chen and the others. if it did so, its conscience would not rest easy for the rest of its life. qin chen looked coldly at the amber. he presumed that the soul was hidden in the dragon tooth.. Chapter 774 - Chapter 774: Fight chapter 774: fight translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this damn soul was nothing good even after being dead for countless years. to think it wanted to bewitch the true dragon to attack them. qin chen looked at the piece of amber with a cold smile. if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he treated his followers well, ordinary people might have turned around and attacked as the soul requested. ¡°you old thing, if you want to make a move, hurry up. i don¡¯t want to waste my time on you.¡± his words instantly ignited the ancient dragon soul¡¯s anger, ¡°junior! you¡¯re too arrogant! if this was in ancient times, you would have long tasted the pain of being reduced to ashes! even the deaths of those who insulted the ancient era¡¯s dragon race would not be enough to atone for their sins!¡± the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had indeed been incomparably glorious. back then, even a quasi-emperor wouldn¡¯t dare to say such words in the territory of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. after all, they would have to bear the wrath of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race after a fallout. there might have been some extremely arrogant creatures who had challenged the authority of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race in the past, but those fellows had long disappeared from this world, and there were no traces of their existence anymore. however, the words of the old soul fell on deaf ears for qin chen. since the other party had tried to get one of his followers and even wanted all of them to die here, why not he make the first move and turn the old thing into ashes? ¡°right now, you¡¯re just a remnant soul. do you understand? times have changed!¡± indeed, times have changed! the glorious days that belonged to the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had long passed. now, there was not even a single member of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race who was still alive on heavenly dragon mountain. once the old remnant soul dissipated, the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race would probably be cut off. wouldn¡¯t it be laughable then? the old soul had really overestimated the value of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race¡¯s inheritance. even if it offered twice the temptation, the true dragon would definitely still not make a move. this was the true dragon¡¯s great path. if it did do something against its dao heart, perhaps its realm would be stuck for the rest of its life. the true dragon had always been a vengeful but grateful person. qin chen had helped it so much. it was simply belittling that the other party wanted it to do such disloyal and unjust things just by offering it some external temptations. the ancient dragon¡¯s soul laughed loudly as if it had heard the funniest joke in the world and could not control itself. ¡°don¡¯t you know what realm you trash are in? no matter how much the ancient era¡¯s dragon race has declined, you won¡¯t be able to resist even a ten-thousandth of what remains. since this is the case, i¡¯ll just possess the body of the true dragon and kill all of you here. after today, the glory of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race will be restored!¡± qin chen laughed so hard that his stomach was almost cramped. he did not expect this ancient dragon¡¯s soul to be so shameless. did the latter not know what kind of strength it represented to be able to come here? even if his current realm was indeed not enough to resist the remains of heavenly dragon mountain, it should be more than enough to destroy the ancient dragon¡¯s remnant soul. at that time, heavenly dragon mountain would become an ownerless object. even if there really was the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race, he could just easily take it. if the other party refused to give the inheritance over, they would just snatch the old dragon¡¯ soul had finally revealed its true colors and the true dragon was furious. it did not expect that it would become the target of its kind and the other party even wanted to possess it. fortunately, it had not wavered previously. otherwise, he would have been killed by the old dragon¡¯s soul. ¡°junior, i will let you know the strength of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race today!¡± Chapter 775 - Chapter 775: Destroyed chapter 775: destroyed translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio heavenly dragon mountain began to shake as if a great terror was about to be born. after countless years, a fierce beast seemed to have been revived in the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. boundless terrifying auras poured out, and everyone¡¯s faces were filled with fear. they had not expected things to turn out this way. however, since it had already come to this, there was nothing more to say other than to make their moves! a smile appeared on qin chen¡¯s face. it was an extremely cold smile. he still had a trump card in his hand that he hadn¡¯t used. since this stupid old dragon soul had bumped into him, he would use it to send the other party to the afterlife! ¡°speaking of which, you have the bloodline of the dragon race, yet you chose to side with such a lowly human. don¡¯t blame me for being heartless then. possessing you will allow me to obtain a chance of survival for the ancient era¡¯s dragon race! ¡± with that, the ancient dragon¡¯s soul flew out from the tooth in the amber. its body was as huge as a mountain but looked very illusory. it might not be able to hold on and enter the cycle of reincarnation at any time. the ancient dragon¡¯s soul had wanted to nurture the true dragon, which was of the same race, to inherit the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. it did not expect to be rejected. the old dragon roared in anger. it seemed that the heavens did favor the ancient dragon race, allowing it to encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. as long as it possessed the true dragon, it would be able to live. at that time, the revival of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race would not be just a fleeting dream. in an instant, the true dragon felt a powerful aura pressing down on its body. this powerful aura came from the suppression of the same bloodline. god knows what kind of power this ancient dragon possessed back when it was alive. even if it was only left with a wisp of its soul, it could still unleash such powerful strength. ¡°i¡¯ll fight it out with you!¡± the true dragon spat out a bloody mist. the blood in its body was boiling and it didn¡¯t know how long it could last. qin chen was also ready to make his move. he took out a talisman and poured all the spiritual energy in his body into it. in an instant, the talisman shook with soaring demonic power, causing the old dragon to turn pale with fright! ¡°what¡¯s that?¡± the ancient dragon¡¯s soul had never seen such pure demonic power before. it was comparable to the birth of a demon race¡¯s great emperor. the myriad demon talisman was refined by a demon race¡¯s great emperor, after all. still, the power retained in it was far from the power of an attack from a demon race¡¯s great emperor. that being said, just this alone was enough to shock the ancient dragon. the myriad demon talisman in qin chen¡¯s hand emitted a demonic light that suppressed the ancient dragon that was about to dissipate! however, the ancient dragon was still an undying monster who had lived since the ancient era. it controlled the power of heavenly dragon mountain. as such, it gritted its teeth and burned its meager soul power. with that, boundless dragon energy from heavenly dragon mountain was borrowed and fused into the body of the ancient dragon. it made the huge dragon¡¯s body even more solid, making it as if it was a real living being. this shocked everyone. ¡°junior, when i was alive, i could roam the world freely. even if i am dead now, it doesn¡¯t mean that i am no match for you!¡± the ancient dragon spat out dragon breath as its strength continued to soar. this was probably related to the boundless dragon energy that came from heavenly dragon mountain. at this moment, the ancient dragon managed to block the power of the myriad demon talisman, causing qin chen to be shocked. fortunately, the ancient dragon was already dead.. if it was alive, who knew how powerful it would be? Chapter 776 - Chapter 776: Dead? chapter 776: dead? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio still, qin chen was confident in the myriad demon talisman. no matter how powerful this ancient dragon became now, it probably couldn¡¯t recover to the realm it had been in back when it was alive. the current situation should only be a superficial phenomenon. even if qin chen stopped now, the ancient dragon would be powerless to turn the situation around. it would die at any moment. the power of the myriad demon talisman had yet to fully erupt, but the ancient dragon was already on the verge of collapsing. it cried bitterly in its heart. why was the younger generation so abnormal? even in the ancient era, treasures like the myriad demon talisman were the trump cards of various large factions. unless it was absolutely necessary, no faction would use it. yet, it clearly didn¡¯t see any heartache on this human junior¡¯s face. he didn¡¯t seem to care about this treasure at all. qin chen had seen many treasures. if he had to use the myriad demon talisman, then so be it. it was all worth it if it could make him pleased. since the ancient dragon wouldn¡¯t listen, he would just destroy it. wouldn¡¯t heavenly dragon mountain be ownerless then? the lizard king had yet to experience the power of the myriad demon talisman. now, he could see if the ancient dragon could withstand it. the lizard king watched the battle with interest. soon, the myriad demon talisman was completely revived. boundless demonic power erupted from the talisman as if a heavenly tribulation had arrived. even someone as powerful as the ancient dragon felt despair. it knew that it would surely not be able to survive. it was just a pity that the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race would end in its hands. god knows how it would face the other ancient dragons after it went to hell. could it say that it was killed by a junior in one move? ¡°the heaven¡¯s will is hard to defy! this is the collapse of our great faction! the heavens are not on our side!¡± no matter how powerful the ancient dragon¡¯s soul was, it couldn¡¯t stop the rise or fall of heavenly dragon mountain. the ancient dragon let out a dragon roar and rushed toward qin chen. with the myriad demon talisman in his hand, qin chen wasn¡¯t worried at all. rather, he was afraid that the ancient dragon would run away. however, it was obvious that the ancient dragon did not want to live anymore as it could not see any hope for the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. in fact, heavenly dragon mountain had long since declined and was beyond salvage. it was just that the ancient dragon was unwilling to believe it. ¡°ancient era¡¯s dragon race! kill!¡± the ancient dragon collided with the myriad demon talisman and quickly melted. the boundless dragon energy dissipated between heaven and earth. vaguely, something seemed to have been shattered. the ancient dragon dissipated as it let out an indignant roar. everyone was quite shocked. the ancient dragon¡¯s soul had lived for countless years, and now, it had died just like that. this was not their fault though. it was all fate. qin chen looked at the myriad demon talisman in his hand. increasing numbers of cracks appeared on it until it ultimately shattered into pieces. with this, the myriad demon talisman could no longer be used. however, it was a good deal to exchange it for the soul of an ancient dragon from heavenly dragon mountain. ¡°it died just like that?¡± the lizard king¡¯s gaze was fixed on qin chen. the human cultivator was so terrifying. although he had borrowed external power, he still killed the ancient dragon. everyone was feeling quite joyous. they did not expect the elder king to be so powerful that he could kill the ancient dragon so easily. the elder king had always been fighting against enemies that they thought were impossible to defeat. heavenly dragon mountain was silent at this moment as if there were no living beings. this was a sign that the ancient era¡¯s dragon race was officially destroyed and no longer existed in the world. soon, qin chen recovered. he walked over and crushed the piece of amber, revealing the dragon tooth inside. at this point, the dragon tooth had lost its spirituality.. Chapter 777 - Chapter 777: Dragon Crystal chapter 777: dragon crystal translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio as qin chen took the dragon tooth out of the amber, and it turned into ashes in a moment. ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± after using the myriad demon talisman to take care of the ancient dragon¡¯s soul, heavenly dragon mountain was now ownerless. the reason why they had to kill the ancient dragon¡¯s soul was that the true dragon needed the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. this was more than enough reason for qin chen¡¯s previous actions. in the outside world, heavenly dragon mountain had started to show itself in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. without the ancient dragon¡¯s control, it would not be long before the world discovered the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. to the demons and humans in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, this was a huge opportunity. as long as they could find the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds. after all, the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had been an invincible overlord during the ancient era. since countless years had passed, they thought that the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race would never appear again. unexpectedly, it had reappeared in the world. to qin chen, it held no significance at all. after all, the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race was basically negligible to their improvement. only the true dragon truly needed it. as long as the true dragon could obtain the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race, it might be able to break through again. no one among the crowd was more suited to obtain the dragon race¡¯s inheritance than the true dragon. everyone followed qin chen as they were unsure if there were any other terrifying dangers on heavenly dragon mountain. after all, powerful orthodoxies usually had many backup plans to prevent enemies from entering. qin chen walked unhurriedly. the palace was emitting a deathly aura of decay. after some time, they finally stepped into the core area. they pushed open the door of a palace. countless silhouettes of the dragon race appeared in the place that had been sealed for countless years. it was as if they were telling the later generations how glorious the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had been. even though it had been extremely glorious, it still could not withstand the passage of time. with a thought, a wisp of qin chen¡¯s aura went over, and the countless dragon phantoms turned into nothingness. if this really was the ancient era, qin chen wouldn¡¯t have dared to step in even if he had a hundred guts. however, after such a long time, the ancient era¡¯s dragon race had long been destroyed. ¡°look, what is that?¡± the big scorpion discovered many red crystals that were emitting scorching power and ran over immediately. the true dragon said slowly, ¡°those are dragon crystals. ordinary people can have a trace of the dragon race¡¯s bloodline after refining them.¡± the dragon crystals were indeed rare. ¡°legend has it that dragon crystals can only be condensed by those with great cultivation in the dragon race before they die. they contain powerful energy.¡± the true dragon knew this because it had received the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. just now, it had entered one of the palaces and many non-existent memories instantly appeared in its mind. its bloodline improved because of this and its strength also skyrocketed. it knew that as long as it absorbed this energy, it would be able to break through again and even transform. if this power was used properly, it could lay a solid foundation, which would be a great help when it broke through in the future. all of this was the effect of the inheritance of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. after receiving the inheritance, the true dragon said to qin chen and the others, ¡°these dragon crystals are not of much use to me now since my body has already absorbed enough energy. if i continue to absorb them, i¡¯m afraid i¡¯ll explode and suffer damage..¡± Chapter 778 - Chapter 778: Treasure Vault chapter 778: treasure vault translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the true dragon led everyone to another tightly shut door. it placed its palm on the door, and soon, a powerful dragon roar was emitted from its body before the door was opened. a golden light flashed. ¡°this¡­ what is this?¡± the big scorpion was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he could not speak. to think this was the treasure vault of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race! although many resources had been consumed before the ancient era¡¯s dragon race declined, the remaining treasures were still of immeasurable use to them. ¡°this is the treasure vault of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. everyone should take as much as they can. in any case, from today onwards, this place will become a page of history.¡± it would not be long before many demons and humans arrived and they would probably dig heavenly dragon mountain empty. even the palaces that were built on heavenly dragon mountain were extraordinary treasures. they could be used for weapon refining and magic item refining, as well as others. the flame-wing beast¡¯s eyes lit up upon seeing so many treasures. one had to know that no matter how much one sacrificed, one might not be able to obtain even a small portion of these treasures. now that such a huge treasury was placed in front of them, how could they not be tempted? everyone picked and chose the most precious things among the treasures, taking the items that were helpful to them. it was only when their spatial treasures could no longer hold anymore that they reluctantly prepared to leave. after that, qin chen tore the void apart and left with the crowd. there was no point in staying here any longer. of course, one being didn¡¯t leave. it was the lizard king. to the lizard king, since he could seize such an opportunity, he naturally wouldn¡¯t give up easily. at this point, he had already used a special technique to inform his descendants to hurry over and empty out the treasure vault of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. they would move as much as they could since others would be arriving soon. qin chen let the lizard king be. to him, the latter was nothing. at the same time, the lizard king didn¡¯t dare to offend qin chen either. one could imagine that perhaps after countless years, a powerful demon race would appear in the demon race¡¯s forbidden land. the lizard demons. there were many treasures in the treasure vault of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race that could greatly increase the strength of ordinary demons. not long after qin chen and the others left, they met other cultivators. the latter¡¯s eyes were filled with passion. they had naturally heard about the appearance of the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. this was good news! after all, the appearance of such ancient ruins was usually accompanied by many opportunities. of course, the risks and rewards were proportional. as long as they could enter, they might be able to reach the heavens in one fell swoop if they survived. ¡°have you heard? the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race have appeared.¡± ¡°this time, it seems that quite a number of large sects and factions are restless. i wonder if we can still get a share of the profits.¡± ¡°aren¡¯t you talking nonsense? there were many dangers in the ruins of the ancient era¡¯s dragon race. even if the disciples of large sects go in, they might suffer casualties. ¡°as long as we¡¯re lucky, we should be able to obtain some resources. this is a great fortune!¡± ¡°that¡¯s true. then let¡¯s hurry up and act.¡± suddenly, a cultivator¡¯s shoulder trembled. he seemed to feel that someone was watching him. however, his realm was too low. when he realized that he was being watched, qin chen had already left with everyone.. Chapter 779 - Chapter 779: The Dead Old Man chapter 779: the dead old man translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°i feel like someone is watching us. could it be a demon?¡± the cultivator couldn¡¯t help but feel fear. after qin chen and the others left, they continued to walk along the path that cut across the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. as long as they could leave, they would be safe. after all, there were many spies of the thousand yin holy sect here, but after leaving, the chances of them encountering those disciples were much lower. with that, they should be able to survive successfully while their safety was increased. qin chen and the others were extremely lucky for the past half a day. they hadn¡¯t even encountered a single demon or human cultivator. then, after some time, they saw the corpse of an old man in front of them. this old man had been extremely powerful when he was alive. however, for some unknown reason, there was a penetrating wound on his head. it was as if some kind of attack had instantly penetrated his head, resulting in his tragic death before he could react. judging from the old man¡¯s attire, he should be an expert from a large sect or faction. he might even have some status. it was a pity that this person died here for no reason, and there was no one to collect his corpse. seeing this, qin chen reminded everyone to be careful and pay attention to any possible dangers. after all, it was impossible for him to take care of everyone every time. the death rate in this demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was quite high too. everyone looked at the wound on the corpse¡¯s head. the bloody hole indicated that the wound had been inflicted by a single finger, and it was extremely shocking. god knows if they would be killed by the same attack ahead. they didn¡¯t even know if the culprit was a human or a demon. with this, the possibility of them successfully being on guard became extremely low. qin chen carefully observed his surroundings. there were many auras not far away, but they were very weak. he did not even have any interest to look for those weak creatures. they could be almost sure that there might be some powerful existence here. as such, they needed to be more careful to pass through this place safely. as for why there were so many weak auras, it should be a disguise used by the existence behind it. this was the only way to minimize the vigilance of ordinary people. when the time came, the other party could make a move stealthily, and there was a high chance he could kill his target. this also indirectly showed that the creature here should only be able to sneak attack and would not attack openly. therefore, as long as they were on guard, they would be able to block the first attack. there was a high chance of survival. everyone was convinced by qin chen¡¯s analysis. it seemed that the powerful enemy in the dark had high intelligence. they might have been targeted by the other party, but the other party hadn¡¯t made a move yet. he should be observing them and waiting for an opportunity to move. in just a short moment, qin chen and the others were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. they felt as if someone was pointing a sword against their backs. it was as if a ferocious creature was staring at them in the dark like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to attack. everyone could not help but feel immense pressure. the big scorpion became increasingly nervous. he looked back every three steps, seemingly very worried that a terrifying existence might suddenly appear behind them and kill them in an instant. qin chen had already extended his divine sense to cover the surroundings. as long as there was a slight fluctuation, he would immediately react. from there, he would attack at the first moment.. Chapter 780 - Chapter 780: Blood River chapter 780: blood river translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen had the supreme heavenly origin armor on him. as long as the other party¡¯s attack was not too powerful, he should be able to withstand it. this was why qin chen was so confident. otherwise, he would have immediately asked everyone to retreat and go around when he saw the old man¡¯s corpse. the risk of forcefully advancing was too great and qin chen didn¡¯t dare to bet on it. after all, if he made the wrong bet, they might all die here. still, qin chen was someone who had experienced great storms. compared to the countless desperate situations he had experienced, the danger before them now was far from comparable. he was no longer the same person as before. now, he was calmer and more composed. even if he encountered sudden danger, he could find a way to break out of the situation in a short time. qin chen frowned slightly. he couldn¡¯t understand why he hadn¡¯t found any traces of the enemy after such a long time. could it be that the enemy was so patient? the other party¡¯s mistake was that he should not have left the old man¡¯s corpse where qin chen and the others had just passed by. this was because qin chen and the others had raised their vigilance as a result, making it much more difficult for the other party to make a move. the strength of qin chen and the others was far inferior to the old man who had just died. that old man could probably be considered a pillar of strength in a large sect or a major faction. still, if the other party wanted to make a move, he would definitely encounter their desperate resistance. soon, qin chen and the others arrived at a small stream. the stream was extremely demonic, with red water flowing in it. rather than calling it a stream, it was more like a river of blood. a blood river that stretched for thousands of miles had appeared in front of qin chen and the others. as for the true cause of this blood river, they did not know. now, they just needed to hurry out of this place and leave the blood river. then, the other party would probably not target them anymore. after some time, the sky was getting dark. seeing that they had not left the blood river yet, they decided to stop and rest. however, they were still extremely vigilant. whether they were sleeping or not, they needed someone to keep an eye on their surroundings. as such, they chose to rotate in shifts of two. as long as the two wanted to take a short break to recover their energy, the other two would take over the responsibility of guarding. qin chen was racking his brain, thinking about the problem. not long after, they flew over the blood river without any mishaps. however, qin chen always had an accurate intuition. he could feel that the blood river was definitely extraordinary. he had never heard of the existence of a blood river in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. god knows what it was used for. ¡°hmm?¡± suddenly, qin chen moved. the sound of flowing water had appeared in his ears. one had to know that there was no river around them. could it be that the blood river that they had passed by today had appeared near them? however, that was impossible. they had already left. since they knew that the blood river had some kind of mysterious power, they would never risk their lives and chose to keep away. as such, the speed of their journey had been even much faster than before. yet now, the sound of water flowing in the stream suddenly rang out in his ears, making qin chen involuntarily click his tongue. then, he quickly walked towards the place where the sound came from. after a few steps, he saw a river of blood flowing aunder the night sky.. Chapter 781 - Chapter 781: The Blood-evil Aura Energy Flower chapter 781: the blood-evil aura energy flower translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was already holding the terrifying flower. this flower seemed non-existent. it had terrifying blood-evil aura energy. he didn¡¯t know why it had such terrifying blood-evil aura energy. a flower like this could only have been left behind by a devil. since this flower had blood-evil aura energy, logically speaking, it should not exist in this world. qin chen was puzzled. no matter how hard he tried to stop it, the flower still released terrifying blood-evil aura energy that tried to invade his mind. such terrifying blood-evil aura energy could not be understood with common sense. even the strongest existence would feel that something was wrong. there was something wrong with this flower. at the very least, it was not what they were seeing now. in qin chen¡¯s eyes, this flower was already classified as problematic. he wondered how he could swallow and refine the flower. after all, something would likely go wrong when such a terrifying flower was refined. going mad wasn¡¯t exactly out of the question. thinking of this, qin chen sent a voice transmission, ¡°come quickly. if you are late, i¡¯m afraid you will miss this great fortune.¡± hearing this, the nine nether mountain master immediately charged over crazily. he was extremely worried. he didn¡¯t know what qin chen meant when he said that he would lose the great fortune if he was late. as such, he rushed over. the azure dragon insect wanted to block the other party, but unfortunately, it could not stop him at all. after all, it no longer had any strength left. if it were to forcefully fight it out, it might die. even if it could defeat the nine nether mountain master, it would suffer irreversible injuries. this was something the azure dragon insect could not accept. after all, it hadn¡¯t been easy for it to cultivate until now. if it continued fighting, it might lose everything it had now. no one would be willing to take the risk. this was the reason why the nine nether mountain master was able to reach qin chen. he looked at qin chen, his eyes filled with puzzlement. this was because qin chen was holding a terrifying flower that was shockingly filled with surging blood-evil aura energy. logically speaking, such a terrifying flower should not have appeared in this world. yet, it was right in front of their eyes now. could this be the great fortune that qin chen had mentioned? even if he swallowed and refined this thing, a big problem would probably occur. the nine nether mountain master was dumbfounded. weren¡¯t they here to find a great fortune? if this thing was the great fortune, logically speaking, the azure dragon insect shouldn¡¯t have been able to achieve its current achievements. the azure dragon insect was extremely terrifying. it had long reached a realm that was even more terrifying than the nine nether mountain master. based on common sense, this terrifying flower should not have such an effect. this was strange. could it be that qin chen had found the wrong thing? however, when the nine nether mountain master used his terrifying spiritual will to scan the surroundings, he did not find anything. there was not even a strong fluctuation. in the black bamboo forest, what was left was the rule power left behind by the azure dragon insect. this was really strange. no one could figure it out. qin chen said to the nine nether mountain master, ¡°this is the great fortune that you are looking for. if we do not leave now, accidents may likely occur. i can¡¯t control the blood-evil aura energy for too long.¡± the nine nether mountain master had already been severely injured. he understood that if they delayed, there would definitely be unexpected changes. if something else happened, he would not even have the ability to counterattack. therefore, when he heard qin chen¡¯s words, he nodded and hurriedly prepared to leave with qin chen. the nine nether mountain master took out a spatial treasure and put qin chen inside. then, he walked to a place not far away and crossed the rule power left behind by the azure dragon insect. following this, he put the big scorpion, the flame-wing beast, and the others into his spatial treasure as well and quickly left. they had to leave now. otherwise, when the azure dragon insect recovered, their lives might be in danger. after all, the nine nether mountain master¡¯s recovery power was not as strong as the azure dragon insect¡¯s. they had to leave as soon as possible. once something happened, it would be very dangerous. thinking of this, the nine nether mountain master was prepared to leave with everyone. otherwise, if something happened, it would be over. they had come here to seek great fortune. if they lost their lives instead, it would truly be a huge misfortune. the azure dragon insect wanted to stop the nine nether mountain master, but unfortunately, the latter had already left. it could not stop the other party at all. the nine nether mountain master quickly left. the azure dragon insect let out a breath of turbid air. it was a pity. it furiously destroyed the black bamboo forest. however, there was nothing it could do. this time, it had been on the verge of achieving atavism and was caught off guard. otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have allowed the nine nether mountain master to have his way. the azure dragon insect had already reached an indescribable realm. it was surprised to find that it seemed to have stepped into a mystical state. if this continued, it might not be long before it could break through again and complete its morphing. when it thought of this, it was pleasantly surprised. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect this! i didn¡¯t expect that i would be able to continue morphing!¡± this was an opportunity that was destined to transform the azure dragon insect into an azure butterfly. at this point, the nine nether mountain master had already left with qin chen and the others. he had been wondering about one thing: why was the opportunity a flower with terrifying blood-evil aura energy? he really didn¡¯t know what this flower was. had the azure dragon insect been protecting this thing with all its might? even if he refined this thing, it would be a huge mistake. it might even cause him to go mad. at that time, it would be too late for the nine nether mountain master to regret. at this rate, let alone breaking through to the next realm, he could even be sending himself to death. the nine nether mountain master¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, ¡°there¡¯s a problem. there¡¯s definitely something wrong with this thing.¡± since qin chen didn¡¯t make a mistake, then the one with a problem should be that flower. if there really was a problem with the flower, it would be very depressing.. Chapter 782 - Chapter 782: Primordial Spirit Resonance chapter 782: primordial spirit resonance translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this time, the price that the nine nether mountain master had paid was not small. after expending so much effort, he did not expect that it would be a thankless effort. rather, it was equivalent to asking for trouble. finally, the nine nether mountain master brought qin chen and the others to a safe place. the first thing he did was to release them because it was very uncomfortable to be cramped inside the spatial treasure. they were already in such a state. if they discovered that they hadn¡¯t been able to get anything, they would be even more depressed after qin chen and the others came out, they realized that they had already arrived somewhere safe. qin chen then started to tremble. this was because his mind had already been invaded by the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. the terrifying blood -evil aura energy wasn¡¯t something that ordinary people could deal with, after all. only a cultivator with a relatively strong spiritual power like qin chen could withstand it for such a long time. thinking of this, qin chen looked ahead. only now did the nine nether mountain master notice that his eyes were already bloodshot. he looked as if it wouldn¡¯t be long before he completely collapsed and couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. as such, he quickly took the terrifying flower from qin chen¡¯s hand. this terrifying flower was constantly releasing the blood-evil aura energy. even the powerful nine nether mountain master was invaded by the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. everyone could not help but use their spiritual power to begin to block the blood-evil aura energy. ¡°what is this? how can it be so terrifying?¡± sensing the energy of the terrifying flower at such a close distance, even the nine nether mountain master couldn¡¯t help but feel extremely horrified. something like this simply couldn¡¯t be devoured and refined. once they did so, it was likely that their lives would be lost. for them to have reached this realm, it was naturally impossible for them to be so reckless. even if the flower had heaven-defying effects, they would not risk their lives to refine it. qin chen knelt on the ground, gasping for air. then, the essence power of the chaos divine ring wrapped around his primordial spirit and repaired it, driving the blood-evil aura energy out. otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be long before his primordial spirit would be destroyed by the blood-evil aura energy. the nine nether mountain master held the flower in his hand. he did not know what to do either. he tried to wrap the terrifying flower with his divine power so that the blood-evil aura energy would not leak out. even he didn¡¯t know the origin of this terrifying flower. since it could be found in the depths of buzhou mountain, it must be a terrifying treasure. to be able to help the azure dragon insect break through to its current terrifying realm, it was naturally a rare treasure. no matter how terrifying this flower was, it was undeniable that it was indeed a very precious treasure. at the very least, it was a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. this was something that the nine nether mountain master had coveted for a long time. unfortunately, he had only just discovered that he could not use it at all. he did not even know what this terrifying flower was. he then looked at everyone. after the blood-evil aura energy was sealed, the others finally relaxed. the nine nether mountain master said to qin chen, ¡°is this really the treasure from the black bamboo forest?¡± he simply could not believe that this terrifying flower could be refined and absorbed by the azure dragon insect. however, he had also carefully investigated at that time and discovered that there were indeed no other powerful fluctuations in the black bamboo forest. logically speaking, the only treasure there should be this terrifying flower. qin chen shook his head and said, ¡°i didn¡¯t find anything in there, only this flower.¡¯ now, it was the nine nether mountain master¡¯s turn to sigh. he exhaled heavily. he did not expect that he would not get anything even after fighting to the death. this thing was simply poison. even if he could absorb and refine it, so what? he would probably die soon if he did so, and his primordial spirit would collapse. after that, he began to study how to refine and absorb this terrifying flower. qin chen, on the other hand, began to recuperate, wanting to quickly recover to his peak condition. he knew that if he was injured in the depths of buzhou mountain, it would be very dangerous. if he encountered any unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t be able to unleash his strength. as such, qin chen hurriedly began to refine the heavenly resources that he had, making his injuries recover faster. the leaves of the ancient tree of life were almost exhausted. only the branches were left. qin chen felt quite regretful. if he had been a little bolder back then, he might have been able to obtain even more leaves and branches of the ancient tree of life. he did not expect that the leaves of the ancient tree of life would be consumed so quickly. then, qin chen continued to consume and refine all kinds of natural treasures. as a result, his injuries recovered rapidly. up until now, the nine nether mountain master had yet to come up with anything. after all, as long as he took out this terrifying flower and unlocked the seal of divine power, its terrifying blood-evil aura energy would leak. ¡°i¡¯ve never heard of such a terrifying thing.¡± even the nine nether mountain master was helpless. he couldn¡¯t refine this thing. after all, he had witnessed how terrifying this thing was. it was like a hedgehog that was covered in thorns. god knows how one could bite into it. this terrifying flower kept spinning in the nine nether mountain master¡¯s hand, and the terrifying blood-evil aura energy it emitted spread out. it wouldn¡¯t take long for even the nine nether mountain master to be affected and suffer a heavy blow to his mind. it might even cause his dao heart to become chaotic. at that time, even the nine nether mountain master would not be able to save himself. however, at this moment, the nine nether mountain master discovered that qin chen had actually used a very short time to recover to his peak condition. one had to know that the latter¡¯s primordial spirit had suffered extremely serious injuries just now. his body had also been heavily injured by the rule power of the azure dragon insect, to the point that his internal organs were about to rot. unexpectedly, he could recover so quickly. immediately after, qin chen walked over. the nine nether mountain master didn¡¯t know what qin chen wanted to do. qin chen took the terrifying flower from the nine nether mountain master¡¯s hand. he didn¡¯t believe that this terrifying flower couldn¡¯t be devoured and refined. one had to know that he had all kinds of treasures that could protect him. in the short run, he would not be affected by the blood-evil aura energy released by the flower. soon after, qin chen was shocked to discover that his primordial spirit was resonating with the flower! Chapter 783 - Chapter 783: Devouring the Blood-evil Aura Energy chapter 783: devouring the blood-evil aura energy translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen realized that his primordial soul was resonating with the blood-evil aura energy emitted by the terrifying flower. the terrifying blood-evil aura energy was nothing ordinary. it was enough to threaten the lives of ordinary cultivators. at this moment, the jiuying divine soul within qin chen¡¯s body was trembling non-stop as if it was attracted by this terrifying blood-evil aura energy. this was the strange phenomenon that had occurred when qin chen had taken the initiative to come into contact with the blood-aura evil energy and enter his body. could it be that the jiuying divine soul could absorb the blood-evil aura energy? qin chen could sense that his jiuying divine soul seemed to be extremely interested in the blood-evil aura energy. immediately after, he used the power of the jiuying divine soul to approach the blood-evil aura energy that had entered his body. unexpectedly, the blood-evil aura energy was extremely fearful as if it had met its natural enemy. it wanted to leave qin chen¡¯s body. what kind of joke was this? qin chen hung his mouth in shock, so much so he could stuff a fist into his mouth. could the terrifying blood-evil aura energy really be absorbed and refined? qin chen had never thought that his jiuying divine soul would have such an effect. one had to know that his jiuying divine soul was incomparably powerful. it was a spiritual body that he had obtained from checking in with the system. the current jiuying had long disappeared from the nine heavens and ten lands, so qin chen had transformed the jiuying divine soul into his split soul. in other words, the jiuying divine soul was qin chen, and qin chen was the jiuying divine soul. he could feel that the jiuying divine soul was very excited as if it wanted to directly devour this blood-evil aura energy. following this, qin chen used the jiuying divine soul to devour the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. he did not expect that nothing happened to the jiuying divine soul. instead, it seemed to have become a little stronger. only then did qin chen open his eyes and said to the nine nether mountain master, ¡°i have a way to deal with the blood-evil aura energy on this terrifying flower.¡¯ the nine nether mountain master didn¡¯t even dare to believe what qin chen had just said. after all, it was simply unacceptable. qin chen was merely a god-realm human cultivator. where did he get the confidence to say such a thing? then, qin chen held the terrifying flower and used his divine power to lift it. everyone was incredulous and started to worry for qin chen. ¡°elder king!¡± they knew that if this continued, qin chen would very likely be crippled by the blood-evil aura energy. one had to know that this was very dangerous. once a person went mad, there was no way to wake him up again. that was why they were so anxious now. they were very concerned for qin chen. qin chen¡¯s entire body trembled as he knelt on the ground. this was because the blood-evil aura energy from the terrifying flower was continuously entering his body now. one should know that it was very likely that there would be a huge problem if he were to absorb so much blood-evil aura energy at once. although his jiuying divine soul could deal with the terrifying blood-evil aura energy, it was still somewhat unbearable to deal with so much of it in one go. still, qin chen had nothing to be afraid of because he had the chaos divine ring in his body. if he were to encounter any danger, the chaos divine ring would protect his primordial spirit. thinking of this, qin chen began to absorb and guide the blood-evil aura energy from the terrifying flower into his body. under qin chen¡¯s crazy actions, boundless blood-evil aura energy entered his body unceasingly. this was nearly self-torture. qin chen wanted to deal with so much terrifying blood-evil aura energy at once because he wanted to refine the terrifying flower as soon as possible. from there, his cultivation would become stronger. he wanted to return to the nine heavens and ten lands as soon as possible because he didn¡¯t know what had happened there after such a long time. qin chen relentlessly absorbed the terrifying blood-evil aura energy, causing everyone to feel incomparably terrified. what kind of lunatic would dare to do this? however, they thought of the fact that he was the elder king. he would never do something that he was not confident in. since he dared to do this, he should have full confidence. on the other side, qin chen became a complete lunatic in the eyes of the nine nether mountain master. this ant-like human cultivator would definitely die. there was no need to doubt this. after all, such a terrifying amount of blood-evil aura energy would definitely cause qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit to explode, causing him to go mad. qin chen¡¯s body was constantly being infused with boundless blood-evil aura energy. he immediately let his jiuying divine soul begin to devour it. the jiuying divine soul was incomparably excited. within qin chen¡¯s body, a massive amount of blood-evil aura energy filled every part of his body. soon, the energy was hunted down and devoured by the jiuying divine soul. it did not take too long for the divine soul to clean an area in qin chen¡¯s body. the blood-evil aura energy was so frightened that it dispersed like a storm. it wanted nothing more than to leave qin chen¡¯s body, but unfortunately, he had already sealed his body. as such, the terrifying blood-evil aura energy couldn¡¯t escape even if it wanted to. it could only be devoured by the jiuying divine soul. however, this also caused a huge burden on qin chen¡¯s body. at this moment, blood was dripping from qin chen¡¯s body. when one¡¯s spiritual power reached a certain realm, it would exert pressure on the physical body. at this moment, qin chen looked incomparably ferocious and terrifying. however, this was also a time that he had to experience. after some time, qin chen finally managed to control and stabilize the fluctuations. it didn¡¯t take long for him to devour half of the terrifying amount of blood-evil aura energy in his body. at this point, his face had already turned pale, and there was no longer a trace of blood on his face. since the flower could help the azure dragon insect break through to such a powerful realm, it must be very terrifying. if they could refine it, qin chen and the others would definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. this was the reason why in chen was risking his life. he planned to wait until he broke through to the god emperor realm before leaving the divine illusionary realm and returning to the nine heavens and ten lands. since his arrival in the divine illusionary realm, a lot of time had passed. during this period, it was unknown what kind of changes had happened in the nine heavens and ten lands. thinking of this, qin chen sighed.. Chapter 784 - Chapter 784: How is This Possible? chapter 784: how is this possible? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen had many enemies in the nine heavens and ten lands. if they went to take revenge on him, they could make their moves on the factions or friends that were related to qin chen. to qin chen, that would be a huge blow that he could not accept. that was why he wanted to quickly increase his strength and realm, then return to the nine heavens and ten lands as soon as possible. if he broke through to the god emperor realm, even if he wasn¡¯t extremely powerful, he would at least be able to protect himself. moreover, he also had the flame-wing beast as his helper. if the flame-wing beast took the final step and broke through past the god emperor realm as well, it would be a trump card that could save his life. among all of them, the flame-wing beast¡¯s cultivation prowess was the highest. the true dragon followed closely behind. one could imagine how powerful it would be if the true dragon also advanced to the realm above the god emperor realm. at that time, qin chen would have two terrifying experts by his side. even if he were to face those terrifying enemies then, he wouldn¡¯t be so afraid anymore. it should be known even if so many experts were to join forces, no one could kill him easily. besides, qin chen had many treasures. throwing them out would be enough to kill some of his enemies. thinking of this, qin chen was pumped. he hurriedly let the jiuying divine soul in his body devour the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. he wanted the jiuying divine soul to devour all the blood-evil aura energy. right at this moment, the nine nether mountain master was numb from shock. he had no words to describe qin chen. this was because qin chen was not dead yet. rather, he had even stabilized the injuries in his body. it was enough to imagine how terrifying qin chen was. after all, qin chen yearned to raise his realm and strength. ¡°how, how is this possible?¡± the nine nether mountain master felt that his knowledge had suffered a huge impact. at this point, he was already numb. he was simply at a loss for words to describe qin chen. to think qin chen could withstand the terrifying blood-evil aura energy. even he couldn¡¯t resist the energy for such a long time. it was likely that he would have long gone berserk and his primordial spirit would¡¯ve collapsed and died. even the nine nether mountain master couldn¡¯t resist the blood-evil aura energy to such an extent. this simply could not be described with common sense. using common sense to look at qin chen would leave one at a dead-end. he was like a monster, simply monstrous. the nine nether mountain master seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. he stared blankly at qin chen who was slowly refining the terrifying blood-evil aura energy in his body. qin chen paid a hefty price to finally absorb all of the blood-evil aura energy in his body using the jiuying divine soul. right now, his jiuying divine soul had already swelled up incomparably, as though it was about to transform. this was something that he had never expected. at this moment, qin chen¡¯s jiuying divine soul was already emitting god emperor-realm spiritual fluctuations in advance. in other words, he had currently already refined the jiuying divine soul to break through to the god emperor realm. no matter how monstrous a genius was, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do what qin chen did. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± the nine nether mountain master was once again at a loss for words. this was because qin chen had actually made his primordial spirit break through to the god emperor realm. it simply could not be explained with common sense. the nine nether mountain master felt as if he had been struck by a blow. back when he was in qin chen¡¯s realm, he couldn¡¯t do such a feat. even in the divine illusionary realm, no matter how terrifying an expert was, they would not be able to accomplish something to this extent. qin chen slowly let out a breath. he immediately devoured natural treasures to recover from his injuries. then, he presented the flower in his hand to the nine nether mountain master. when the nine nether mountain master saw the terrifying flower in qin chen¡¯s hand, he was shocked beyond words. ¡°how did you do it?¡± the nine nether mountain master felt as if his cultivation for so many years had all been for nothing. qin chen, an incomparably weak god-realm expert, had actually refined and devoured all of the blood-evil aura energy on the terrifying flower. he had even broken through to the god emperor realm. one had to know that qin chen had only been in the god realm. it should¡¯ve been impossible for his primordial spirit to break through to the god emperor realm. logically speaking, it was just preposterous. yet now, qin chen had truly done it. qin chen simply smiled. since his primordial spirit had advanced to the god emperor realm, it was enough to show that he was only one step away from raising the realm of his physical body to the god emperor realm as well. when he achieved that, he would be able to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. at this moment, the nine nether mountain master didn¡¯t know what to say. he then cut the terrifying flower in his hand into two halves, keeping half for himself and returning the other half to qin chen. after all, according to the previous agreement, he would get half and qin chen would get the other half. he had no plans to ask any questions. after all, everyone had secrets. besides, qin chen had saved him. logically speaking, he still owed qin chen a huge favor. as long as qin chen didn¡¯t die, it wouldn¡¯t be long before another great expert appeared. he had never heard of a monstrous genius like qin chen. even in history, such a situation had never happened before. this had simply broken the norm. thinking of this, the nine nether mountain master cupped his hands toward qin chen and left. as for qin chen, he split the remaining half of the terrifying flower into six portions. he could not refine this half of the terrifying flower himself. therefore, everyone was given a portion. after all, if qin chen broke through by himself, he still wouldn¡¯t have the confidence to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. the most important thing was to increase everyone¡¯s strength. immediately after, qin chen swallowed his portion of the terrifying flower and refined it. once he devoured his part of the terrifying flower, he should be able to break through. though, he wasn¡¯t sure if he could break through to the god emperor realm. at this point, qin chen had already made his preparations. if he broke through to the god emperor realm, he would return to the nine heavens and ten lands.. Chapter 785 - Chapter 785: Bring it On! chapter 785: bring it on! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was also making preparations. as long as he could break through to the god emperor realm, he believed that the flame-wing beast would have broken through as well. at that time, he would return to the nine heavens and ten lands. at this moment, everyone began to refine their respective portions of the terrifying flower. qin chen devoured and refined his portion and felt as if his body was about to explode. one had to know that he possessed the chaotic divine body. logically speaking, no expert could withstand the flower¡¯s power more than he could. however, even he was in such pain. one could imagine that everyone else would be in even more pain. qin chen felt as if there was a fire dragon swimming within his body. his entire body was trembling slightly. after some time, qin chen opened his eyes. this was because he had already suppressed the terrifying medicinal power within his body. the whole process lasted for about three to four days before everyone got better. only after a few days did qin chen realize that his injuries had already recovered. of course, he was the first to suppress the terrifying medicinal power in his body. the others all had pained expressions on their faces as beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads onto the ground. at this moment, qin chen looked ahead. he walked forward step by step, feeling his body become heavier. still, he continued to move forward. he wanted to break through as soon as possible. soon after, qin chen arrived at the top of a hill. here, the heavenly tribulation triggered by the breakthrough would not reach the others. after all, they had no way to resist any of this power. qin chen let out a sigh and looked up at the sky. lightning was already flashing as thunder rumbled in the sky. dark clouds densely covered the sky, and it looked as if a violent storm was about to fall. everyone didn¡¯t know what to say. although they were in extreme pain, they could still feel the fluctuations in the outside world. with such fluctuations, it was obvious that someone¡¯s breakthrough had triggered the heavenly tribulation. qin chen was probably the only one who could do this so quickly. qin chen circulated his chaotic divine body and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. the surging lightning tribulation was condensing as if it wanted to kill qin chen. this was the first time qin chen encountered a terrifying heavenly tribulation in the divine illusionary realm. one had to know that the last time he broke through, it had been extremely easy. that heavenly tribulation was nothing. but this time, it was obvious that qin chen didn¡¯t have such an opportunity. it wasn¡¯t just the heavenly dao of the nine heavens and ten lands that was rejecting qin chen. the heavenly dao in the divine illusionary realm was also rejecting him. since qin chen broke through so quickly, the heavenly dao naturally had its eyes on him. he didn¡¯t have the words for it, but he felt that the heavenly tribulation was extraordinary. he had never experienced such a powerful heavenly tribulation in the divine illusionary realm. god knows how terrifying the heavenly tribulation in the divine illusionary realm would be! with a rumble, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. this was the first bolt of heavenly tribulation, but it was far from the last. the terrifying heavenly tribulation abruptly landed on qin chen, making him feel as if he was about to go crazy. he felt as if the heavenly tribulation wanted to destroy him. then, the supreme heavenly origin armor automatically protected its master and started working. qin chen walked forward step by step. stepping on the moving secret technique, he faced the terrifying heavenly lightning head-on! he wanted to blow up this terrifying heavenly tribulation, so he instantly used the six paths reincarnation fist. terrifying fist intent burst out in the void. in an instant, a punch fiercely bombarded the terrifying sky, unfortunately, the current terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed to be even more powerful than the heavenly tribulation in the nine heavens and ten lands. in an instant, qin chen was sent flying and smashed onto the ground. qin chen had never thought that the terrifying heavenly tribulation would be so powerful! he slowly stood up and flew towards the terrifying heavenly tribulation again, still wanting to destroy it directly. not long after, the terrifying heavenly tribulation sent another attack coming with a loud bang. before qin chen could react, the attack landed on him again, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. god knows how many more heavenly tribulations were coming. qin chen walked forward step by step. he stood up once again and used the moving secret technique, dashing at the sky! in his hand, the innate sword embryo had already awakened. it was slashed at the sky. qin chen wanted to tear apart the heavenly tribulation in the sky, but he did not expect that the terrifying heavenly tribulation would send out another terrifying bolt of lightning! in an instant, it was like a giant beast that was about to devour qin chen. it wanted to swallow him and crush him into pieces. qin chen could feel how powerful this terrifying beast was. he immediately flew towards the terrifying beast and slashed out fiercely right away. this sword condensed a terrifying sword intent. it seemed to have formed a peerless sword domain that was incomparably terrifying. the pressure of an extreme emperor weapon spread out. qin chen looked like a god of war. he didn¡¯t believe that the heavenly tribulation of the divine illusionary realm could destroy him. in an instant, qin chen¡¯s sword slashed at the terrifying beast. the terrifying beast was formed by the heavenly tribulation. at this moment, its body was slashed apart by qin chen, but it still stubbornly didn¡¯t disperse. instead, it fiercely slapped out a claw at qin chen! qin chen smashed into the ground. he was panting heavily as he swallowed a leaf of the ancient tree of life and refined it. soon, he felt his blood energy force surge. unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation in the skies did not seem to have dissipated yet. instead, another terrifying heavenly tribulation descended. the terrifying heavenly tribulation was like a huge sword as it slashed toward qin chen. if qin chen was struck by this sword, he would probably be killed even if he had the supreme heavenly origin armor. qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with boundless fighting spirit. no matter what, he couldn¡¯t just let this terrifying heavenly tribulation kill him here just like that. one had to know that there were still people waiting for him to return in the nine heavens and ten lands. if he died here, what would happen to them? therefore, this time, even though qin chen was facing such a desperate situation, he still didn¡¯t give up.. instead, he roared, ¡°bring it on!¡± Chapter 786 - Chapter 786: Breakthrough chapter 786: breakthrough translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen unleashed his full strength. even if he had to use all his skills, he refused to be killed by the heavenly tribulation here. he still had to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. with that, he charged toward the terrifying heavenly tribulation, wanting to take it down. it didn¡¯t take long for qin chen to dash over. the six paths reincarnation fist released a shocking fist light in qin chen¡¯s hand, and he was like a powerful expert who could tear apart the galaxy. the extreme emperor might from the activated innate sword embryo abruptly spread out and transformed into a terrifying sword intent that wanted to destroy this terrifying heavenly tribulation. no matter how powerful the heavenly tribulation from the divine illusionary realm was, destruction was its definite end. everyone sighed with emotion. although the strongest among them wasn¡¯t qin chen, the one who improved the fastest was definitely him. ordinary people simply couldn¡¯t achieve such a feat. however, was qin chen an ordinary person? he was a monster, a monstrous genius. over the years, there were almost no monstrous geniuses as terrifying as qin chen. even someone as powerful as the nine nether mountain master knew that it wouldn¡¯t be long before qin chen became a mighty cultivator who could suppress an entire region. unfortunately, although the heavenly tribulation in the divine illusionary realm had become stronger and wanted to kill qin chen, qin chen wasn¡¯t weak either. coupled with all kinds of treasures, he was already incomparably powerful. very soon, qin chen charged over. the heavenly tribulation seemed to have sensed something. terrifying beings formed from the heavenly tribulation appeared one after another. however, qin chen didn¡¯t even frown. he simply attacked and killed the creatures that were formed from the terrifying heavenly tribulation in no time. the heavenly tribulation in the sky didn¡¯t seem to have expected this. qin chen used the moving secret technique and arrived in the sky. then, he forcefully scattered the terrifying dark clouds. perhaps only qin chen could do this. this heavenly tribulation wanted to kill him, but it was simply impossible. qin chen smiled. soon after, he sensed that he had already stepped into level 9 of the god realm. he had advanced from level 7 to level 9 of the god realm. it was only an increase of two levels, but qin chen was extremely satisfied. it had not been long since he had broken through, but now he was already in level 9 of the god realm. this was already a shocking cultivation speed. even among the ancient great emperors, few could match up to qin chen in this realm. this was because qin chen had the support of the system. no matter what, no one could be stronger than him. qin chen looked up at the sky with a relaxed expression. after the dark clouds dispersed, the heavenly tribulation had long ceased to exist. following this, a pure wave of energy was sent down, allowing qin chen¡¯s injuries to recover. after all, those were injuries from breaking through the heavenly tribulation. no matter what, it could not be as terrifying as it was now. qin chen looked into the distance and casually struck out an attack, which pierced through the void. one could imagine how powerful he was after his breakthrough. there was probably no other who could be as powerful in this realm. when qin chen broke through to the god emperor realm, his strength would double. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. then, he walked forward step by step. he didn¡¯t know what was ahead. right now, everyone was still cultivating and had not finished refining their portions of the terrifying flower. therefore, after qin chen broke through, he wanted to take a look to see if there was anything good in the depths of buzhou mountain. at the same time, he wanted to test his strength. as such, he used the moving secret technique. it didn¡¯t take too long for him to reach the front. there, he found a tall mountain. there seemed to be some mysterious fluctuations in this mountain. to the others, what they saw would probably be that there should be top-notch treasures on this mountain. however, what qin chen could feel was the remnants of powerful divinity. as long as he could come into contact with the remnants of the powerful divinity, he could become stronger. after all, the system check-in had almost never disappointed him. without the system, it would have been impossible for him to reach his current realm. soon, qin chen approached the mountain. he began to climb the mountain step by step. the power he sensed from this mountain was extremely terrifying, so qin chen was extremely cautious right now. he had prepared almost all of his life-saving methods so that even if he encountered danger, he would be able to withstand it and not be killed directly. after that, qin chen started walking forward. god knows how long he had walked for, but halfway up the mountain, he unexpectedly encountered living beings. qin chen was shocked. creatures that could appear in the depths of buzhou mountain were usually the experts of various big forces. but no matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be many living beings here. a group of tiger-headed demonic beasts roamed about. when qin chen took a closer look, he discovered that the tiger-headed demonic beasts were formed by some kind of power. strictly speaking, they could not be considered true demonic beasts. qin chen heaved a sigh of relief. after all, none of the creatures in the depths of buzhou mountain were to be trifled with. if he really encountered a powerful creature, he would immediately flee as far away as he could without hesitation. after all, it was very likely that he would lose his life if he came into contact with these terrifying creatures. qin chen continued to move forward. when he appeared in front of the tiger-headed demonic beasts, only then did they begin to attack him. their thoughts were very rigid and simple as if there was no order to speak of. their cultivations were not too strong either. qin chen easily killed a tiger-headed demonic beast. after killing it, the tiger-headed demonic beast turned into a ray of light and disappeared. qin chen continued forward. to him, no matter how powerful these terrifying tiger-headed demonic beasts were, they were no match for him. this was because qin chen had all kinds of powerful treasures. if these treasures were added together, these demonic beasts would probably die in an instant. still, qin chen was carefully guarding against any possible danger. that was why he was so cautious. god knows how much time had passed when qin chen killed the tiger-headed demonic beasts before him. at this point, almost all the demonic beasts here had been annihilated by qin chen. nothing was left behind. during this period, nothing unexpected happened, so qin chen relaxed a little while killing the demonic beasts.. Chapter 787 - Chapter 787: Statue chapter 787: statue translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the reason why qin chen didn¡¯t reveal his trump card was that it had too many uses. he couldn¡¯t expose it. otherwise, he might die. after that, qin chen continued walking up the mountain. he saw many colorful clouds dancing in the air. unexpectedly, the colorful clouds would destroy the living beings that approached. if qin chen¡¯s reaction had not been fast, he would have been injured. right now, he still didn¡¯t know how terrifying these colorful clouds were. he just kept moving forward. sensing a living being approach, the countless colorful clouds came surrounding qin chen, wanting to kill him. but how could qin chen be so easy to deal with? with that, he quickly made himself stronger and activated the supreme heavenly origin armor, turning it into a terrifying defensive power. the countless colorful clouds landed on his body and explosions sounded. one could imagine that the terrifying colorful clouds were also one of the defensive measures on this mountain. as long as any living being wanted to approach this place, they might die immediately. thinking of this, qin chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. his supreme heavenly origin armor was enough to withstand the attacks of these colorful clouds. he had no time to waste here. following this, he charged forward while using the moving secret technique, tearing the void apart. if there were too many colorful clouds in front of him, qin chen would take out his innate sword embryo and slash out with his sword, scattering the colorful clouds. when he first came into contact with the terrifying colorful clouds, he had already discovered that they could leave faint marks on the supreme heavenly origin armor. this was also the reason why he chose to leave so quickly when facing so many terrifying colorful clouds. they seemed to have some characteristics that made qin chen could feel a terrifying aura. plus, they could even leave marks on the supreme heavenly origin armor. one should know that the supreme heavenly origin armor was qin chen¡¯s rare defensive supreme treasure. as long as he had the supreme heavenly origin armor, no terrifying attacks could threaten him. ¡°i wonder what kind of power formed such terrifying rainbow clouds. it¡¯s so terrifying.¡± after that, qin chen continued forward. after he escaped from the terrifying colorful clouds with great difficulty, a statue appeared before him. this statue was extremely terrifying. it was a monster with eight tentacles. other than its eight tentacles, it was no different from an ordinary cultivator. this was what surprised qin chen. who was this statue and why was it here? just as he was about to take a closer look, a light seemed to flash on the surface of the terrifying monster sculpture. qin chen had never thought that the monster sculpture could emit light. then, he looked at himself. for some reason, qin chen felt that something was wrong with his body. immediately after, he felt a sharp pain. after some effort, he finally found where the pain was coming from. he did not expect that the sharp pain was coming from his back. qin chen opened his eyes and scanned his body. he finally discovered that his body seemed to have changed. meat lumps kept popping up on his body. what were these? qin chen panted heavily. he didn¡¯t know what was going on. to think it had caused such a change in his physical body. as time passed, qin chen¡¯s body grew tentacle-like limbs! the scene was simply horrifying! qin chen¡¯s entire body was undergoing change. if this continued, he did not know if he could still be considered human. from the moment he stepped onto the path of cultivators, qin chen had been well-prepared to even die on this path. but now, his body had undergone a huge change from the human body! how could qin chen accept this? he couldn¡¯t help but let out a furious roar! he didn¡¯t even know what had happened to his physical body for him to have become like this. qin chen could feel that there seemed to be eight tentacles poking out from the back of his body. this made him realize that the changes in his body should be related to this monster sculpture. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± if this continued, he would truly become a monster. at that time, it would be almost impossible for him to turn back into a human again. qin chen let out a furious roar, his eyes filled with rage. no matter what, he wanted himself to be a normal human, not a monster. he had never thought that he would become like this. qin chen began to try to stop the limbs on his back from growing. he wanted to control the growth of the limbs. he did not expect that the terrifying limbs had already transformed into tiny tentacles! there was no other way. right now, in an attempt to suppress his mutation, qin chen directly tore off the tentacles that had grown out of his back with brute force! instantly, blood gushed out! the terrifying limbs that had been torn off were extremely bloody. qin chen felt as if he was unable to breathe. if an ordinary person was in such a situation, they would have long gone crazy. even if this state lasted for a short while, it would make people break down. but qin chen didn¡¯t. he closed his eyes, but what he saw were eight tentacles growing out of his back. the eight tentacles were like the most miserable horror, striking straight at the heart. no matter how much qin chen comforted himself, it was useless. this time, he could only rely on himself. ¡°there must be a way to return to my original appearance!¡± if qin chen became a monster, would he still have the cultivation system of the human race? would he really become a monster? he was a human! not a monster! qin chen¡¯s eyes flew open. his eyes were extremely red as he tore another tentacle off his back! ¡°get lost!¡± after tearing off all the tentacles, qin chen was already somewhat crazed. he fell, kneeling on the ground. unfortunately, before qin chen could recover from his shock, he discovered that another eight tentacles had grown out from his back. what should he do? slowly, qin chen seemed to accept this fact. he slowly stood up and looked at the monster statue, which seemed to be mocking him.. Chapter 788 - Chapter 788: Becoming a Monster chapter 788: becoming a monster translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio it was all due to the monster statue that qin chen had become like this! ¡°the way out of this state must be in this monster statue!¡± thinking of this, qin chen almost went berserk! he walked towards the monster statue step by step. the monster statue still did not give off an aura of life as if it was just a dead object. however, qin chen had seen clearly that the monster statue had changed and even emitted a ray of light. he recalled what he had seen. it seemed that after the monster statue had emitted light, it turned qin chen into this ghostly appearance! the monster statue¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with pity. ¡°who exactly are you?! say it!¡± the terrifying transformation that qin chen¡¯s body had undergone was the same as the monster statue. even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn¡¯t believe that it had nothing to do with the monster statue. what kind of joke was this? which human would cultivate himself to such a state? qin chen glanced at his body. behind him, the eight tentacles seemed to be changing. they were going to transform into human hands! this was simply unacceptable to qin chen! what was going on? just imagining eight hands growing out of his back made his scalp go numb. he had to deal with the tentacles behind him. qin chen¡¯s eyes were bright as he looked at the monster statue. the only way to get rid of this ghastly appearance should be found on the monster statue. qin chen could only start from the monster statue. he had to find a way to return to normal. no human could stand such a change, and qin chen was the same! with this, he sent out his spiritual will, wanting to see if there was anything mysterious about the monster statue. the method to get rid of the tentacles must be on this monster statue. however, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find it. qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with fear that was dragging him into an abyss. he felt as if he was about to go crazy. ¡°why? why?! there must be a way!¡± qin chen continuously scanned the monster statue with his spiritual will. unfortunately, after a few days, he still didn¡¯t gain anything. on the contrary, the eight tentacles behind him were constantly transforming to be eight hands. how could qin chen stand this? it was simply fatal! thinking of this, qin chen wanted to use his strength to tear the eight hands off again. they must not be allowed to appear. once they appeared, qin chen didn¡¯t know if he could turn back into a human. he did not want to become a monster! again and again, qin chen endured the pain and tore off the tentacles on his back. every time, the pain was heart-wrenching. the intense pain could probably torture a person¡¯s soul until it became abnormal. qin chen¡¯s goal was very clear. he didn¡¯t want himself to become like this. therefore, he wanted to tear off the tentacles. no matter what, he could not let himself become a complete monster. when the tentacles on his back turned into human hands, what would happen next? could he guarantee that his physical body would not undergo any changes? that was why qin chen wanted to stop the tentacles from turning into human hands. finally, after an unknown amount of time, qin chen gave up resisting. because as time passed, the faster the tentacles on his back grew. it was so fast that even qin chen himself couldn¡¯t believe it. that was why he finally gave up. qin chen sat on the ground and began to calm down. at this point, he seemed to have become a meditating monk who had seen past worldly affairs. although it did not stop the tentacles from continuing to change in the direction of human hands, qin chen couldn¡¯t care less now. if he really turned into a monster, he would just find someone else and possess their body. no one wanted to become a monster. worry bubbled in qin chen¡¯s heart, though the emotion was quickly suppressed. he felt as if his soul was about to be torn apart. though, it didn¡¯t take long before his soul finally returned to normal. ¡°has it already begun to affect mv soul?¡± qin chen¡¯s guess was right. in the end, he would very likely become a complete monster. how could he accept turning from a human into a monster? at that point, he began to think about the nature of life. the essence of life required a soul and a physical body. without any part, it could not be considered a true life. countless living beings experienced birth, aging, illness, and death. however, qin chen no longer looked at the changes in his body with common sense. since it had already happened, what could he do? ¡°yes! my physical body has already changed. similarly, to become a monster, my soul must also change. so, as long as my soul doesn¡¯t change, i still have a chance to turn the tables before i become a complete monster.¡± when qin chen thought of this, his entire body almost trembled from excitement. at this point, he finally found a way to temporarily restrain this terrifying change. only through this could he stop the change. thinking of this, qin chen began to let his soul enter the chaos divine ring. otherwise, all sorts of changes would occur. even he did not know what direction he would develop in and what he would become. however, after qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit hid inside the chaos divine ring, nothing else happened. the chaos divine ring in his body was still emitting a soft light that shone on qin chen¡¯s primordial spirit. the aura of the heavenly emperor¡¯s primordial soul weapon continued to spread. this was the only way to restrain the changes. qin chen did not want to become a monster, so he could only do this. finally, he discovered that the transformation of his body seemed to have slowed down. ¡°is this feasible?¡± however, if this continued, even he would not be able to stop it. in the end, he would still become a monster. qin chen shook his head. what should he do to stop himself from this change? qin chen didn¡¯t know. he looked at himself. if this continued, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of becoming a monster. then, qin chen looked at the monster statue. if there was a solution, it would definitely be on the monster statue. this was what qin chen sensed. he stared at the monster statue. unfortunately, it did not change at all. however, an inconspicuous crack had appeared on the monster statue.. Chapter 789 - Chapter 789: Returning to Normal chapter 789: returning to normal translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen hadn¡¯t noticed the inconspicuous crack yet. after all, it was too small and not easy to be discovered. qin chen slowly walked out. as long as he kept his primordial spirit in the chaos divine ring, there would naturally be no problems. as time passed, the monster statue was covered in web-like cracks. qin chen didn¡¯t know what was going on. he looked over. unfortunately, there was still no movement. the monster statue did not change at all. only many cracks appeared. in the end, he discovered that the monster statue had given birth to a ball of light that transformed into a human figure. looking at qin chen¡¯s current appearance, the human figure laughed. qin chen didn¡¯t know what he was laughing about. ¡°who are you?¡± ¡°who am i?¡± the figure looked similar to the monster statue. in qin chen¡¯s opinion, this figure most likely had a way to make him return to normal. the figure smiled as he asked qin chen, ¡± who are you? judging from your changes, they should be related to the curse.¡± qin chen¡¯s expression changed as the figure spoke. it turned out that this fellow was the owner of that terrifying monster statue. he then continued, ¡°i¡¯m the same as you. we¡¯re both under this curse that comes from a mysterious place. looking at you now, you should be walking the same path as i did back then. you don¡¯t need to know who i am. you only need to know that as long as your soul hasn¡¯t changed, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. use the power of your primordial spirit to wrap around the body. with this, you should be able to return to normal.¡± after saying that, qin chen realized that the figure had already disappeared. the other party seemed to have only left behind a wisp of soul power. in the end, nothing of him would be left. from his words, qin chen knew that the change in his body was a curse. such a curse shouldn¡¯t cause anything too crazy. the biggest change was to target the human body and turn it into a monster. however, according to the human figure, this curse came from a mysterious place. presumably, nothing more terrifying would happen. qin chen didn¡¯t know why this curse had appeared here. however, now that the owner of the monster statue had told him the way to recover, the first thing qin chen did was to restore his body to normal. he quickly wrapped his body with the power of his primordial spirit. with that, he could feel that the changes in his body seemed to have stopped. the change did not continue to worsen. it probably wouldn¡¯t take long for him to return to his previous appearance. the tentacles on his back seemed to be slowly breaking off as they fell off from qin chen¡¯s back. qin chen himself didn¡¯t understand why. however, since he could return to his normal state, he was happy enough. having finally turned back into a normal human, no one could understand the excitement in qin chen¡¯s heart. after that, qin chen looked around. the monster statue that was covered in web-like cracks shattered with a bang, leaving nothing behind. as for where the owner of the monster statue had gone and whether he was still alive, qin chen didn¡¯t know either. the former had been cursed as well, yet both of them were still clueless as to when they had been cursed. then, qin chen left. after he returned, he was surprised to find that everyone had already successfully refined the flower and broken through. after refining the medicinal power of the terrifying flower in their bodies, they became incomparably powerful. then, they looked at qin chen, wondering where the elder king had gone during this period. after they woke up, they did not find any trace of the elder king. as such, they stayed where they were and waited for a few days. finally, the elder king returned. qin chen told everyone that he had been cursed, but now he had returned to normal. he then looked at the flame-wing beast. this was because the flame-wing beast¡¯s current aura was extremely vigorous. even qin chen couldn¡¯t see through how powerful it had become. the other party seemed to have stepped into the same realm as patriarch xuan tian. with this, qin chen felt even more confident because everyone¡¯s strength had increased significantly. moreover, the flame-wing beast had already reached patriarch xuan tian¡¯s realm. if they encountered any powerful enemies, they would naturally have more power to protect themselves. after that, qin chen led everyone away. he carefully led everyone in another direction because he did not dare to come into contact with that terrifying place again. what if everyone else mutated and eight tentacles grew out of their backs too? therefore, they were now heading to another place. in the depths of buzhou mountain, many powerful experts were still searching for opportunities. qin chen and the others bumped into a powerful existence in the process. this powerful being seemed to be in the same realm as the flame-wing beast, though the former was a little stronger. seeing qin chen and the others, he didn¡¯t have the slightest intention of attacking them. instead, he exchanged a few words before turning around and leaving. qin chen could tell that the other party must have obtained some kind of powerful treasure. otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry. however, they had no thoughts of hurting the other party either. after all, he was extremely powerful, even stronger than the flame-wing beast. if the other party were to get angry and decided to fight to the death, qin chen and the others might die. they wouldn¡¯t take the risk. they continued to walk forward. after some time, they arrived at a place that seemed to be a peach garden. there were powerful divinity remnants in this peach garden. qin chen led everyone to search for the place with the powerful divinity remnant. after all, as long as he found somewhere with divinity remnants, he would be able to use the system to check in and thus obtain treasures. this was also the fastest way for qin chen to obtain benefits in buzhou mountain. soon, they arrived at the peach garden. unfortunately, there seemed to be a powerful fluctuation of rule power in the peach garden. someone who could leave such a powerful rule power was probably an extremely powerful existence. but what was the point of the other party leaving behind this rule power? could it be that he wasn¡¯t here? Chapter 790 - Chapter 790: Peach Garden chapter 790: peach garden translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this thought flashed through qin chen¡¯s mind. with that, he wanted to take a look at what powerful treasures were left behind in the peach garden. after all, there were powerful remnants of divinity in this huge peach garden. it was not too surprising if it contained some treasures. coupled with the power of rules left behind by that terrifying expert, he must have wanted to protect the treasures in this peach garden. as long as qin chen and the others came into contact with the power of rules, they would be noticed immediately. however, the reason why qin chen was still willing to take the risk was that he had already touched the edge of the god emperor realm. he was only one step away from stepping into the peak of the god realm, and thus also only one step away from breaking through and becoming a god emperor-realm cultivator. as long as he became a god emperor, he would return to the nine heavens and ten lands. he was burning with anxiety as he had no idea what the nine heavens and ten lands had become, which was why he wanted to return as soon as possible. in case anything happened, he would be able to rush back as soon as possible. if anyone laid a hand on his friends, family, and the forces that were related to him, he vowed to not let them off. the current qin chen had enough confidence to say this. after all, the flame-wing beast had already broken through to patriarch xuan tian¡¯s realm, and he himself was about to step into the god emperor realm. at that time, since he would be returning with so many experts, even if they bumped into his enemies, the latter might not be able to defeat him. therefore, the most important thing for qin chen now was to increase his strength. previously, he wanted to obtain treasures but was unexpectedly cursed in front of the monster statue. as a result, he did not dare to approach it anymore. now that he had arrived in this peach garden, qin chen wanted to see if there were any treasures in it. if they could obtain any treasures, they believed that they would be able to become even stronger after refining those treasures and breaking through. at that time, they would be able to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. even if that terrifying expert wanted to hunt them down, the other party couldn¡¯t possibly leave the divine illusionary realm. that was because if one wanted to leave the divine illusionary realm, one had to borrow the power of the white jade stone. qin chen hadn¡¯t heard of any place that had the white jade stone. the white jade stone was a rare treasure that had almost gone extinct since the ancient era. this also meant that the experts in the divine illusionary realm had no way to break through the spatial barrier and enter the nine heavens and ten lands. therefore, in chen and the others were simply unrestrained and unafraid. since that was the case, what else did they have to be afraid of? with a single glance from qin chen, everyone followed him and entered the peach garden, wanting to break through the power of rules. after this, they would be able to obtain the treasures in the peach garden. there seemed to be powerful divinity remnants in this peach garden, which was why qin chen chose to take the risk. with a loud bang, the power of rules was shattered. far away, an expert laughed. he wondered what was going on. ¡°interesting. to think someone wants my treasures?¡± in his eyes, almost no expert had the guts to come for his treasure. at this moment, the flame-wing beast was trying to break through the power of rules. there were countless powers of rules in this peach garden, and they were currently being broken by the flame-wing beast. the flame-wing beast had, after all, already broken through to reach patriarch xuan tian¡¯s realm. this bit of power of rules simply couldn¡¯t stop it. soon, it opened up a path. qin chen walked over. he wanted to see what kind of treasure was inside that could be protected by the power of rules left behind by an expert. if he obtained such a powerful treasure, he would be able to break through. he would then be able to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. qin chen was now a level 9 god-realm expert. if he broke through to the god emperor realm in such a short time, he could make countless fear him. if such a monstrous genius was not killed, he would probably become an expert who would make countless prostrate at his feet in the future. qin chen continued to advance. the path had already been swept clean by the flame-wing beast. there was almost no longer any power of rules. at this moment, a huge face appeared in front of qin chen and the others. this huge face was condensed from the power of rules. it seemed to be the expert who had left behind the power of rules. he smiled at qin chen and the others, ¡°may i ask fellow daoists, what is the meaning of this? could it be that you want to take away my treasures?¡± following this, the giant face in the void formed by the power of rules was destroyed by the flame-wing beast. the figure far away was immediately shocked and angry. he would never have thought that someone would have the guts to snatch his treasure. one had to know that he was a famous devil. countless people had died at his hands. it had always been that he was the one who robbed others. no one had ever dared to snatch his treasures. he did not expect that someone who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth would exist and want to snatch his treasures. with that, he laughed. as long as they were in the depths of buzhou mountain, they could never escape from his palm. when he returned, it would be too late for them to escape. he would personally send the person to the afterlife. ¡°none of you can escape.¡± after that, he closed his eyes again, seemingly unconcerned about the risk of his treasures being taken away by qin chen and the others. in his opinion, even if they took his treasures away, there wouldn¡¯t be any problem. this was because even if they succeeded in taking his treasures, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. he was just leaving the treasures in the hands of qin chen and the others for some time. on the other side, qin chen hurried forward, seizing every moment. he knew that if the other party had already sensed what they were doing, it was very likely that the other party would come back and kill them. at that time, if they had not obtained the treasures here, they would have offended an expert for no reason. if that happened, it was simply going for wool and coming home shorn. therefore, qin chen was very nervous. they had to seize the time to obtain the treasures in the peach garden. following qin chen¡¯s order, the flame-wing beast continued to break the countless power of rules.. Chapter 791 - Chapter 791: Glistening Grass chapter 791: glistening grass translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after the flame-wing beast broke through to the next realm, its strength became increasingly terrifying. even the rule powers might not be able to stop it. it was like a terrifying ferocious beast, with the bearing of an ancient godfiend. ¡°roar!¡± the terrifying flame-wing beast¡¯s huge body tore apart the power of rules, and qin chen and the others followed behind it. the flame-wing beast was in the god emperor realm, to begin with. above the god emperor was the god venerable realm, which was very powerful. in the ancient era, a god venerable already had the strength to leave his name for thousands of years. it was a pity as time passed, the power of the different realms had long degenerated by quite a bit. they no longer had the powerful strength of the ancient era. even in the ancient era, few could reach the god venerable realm. the flame-wing beast continued moving forward, its body unleashing terrifying flames. after its breakthrough, the flames had become even more terrifying. if it was in the nine heavens and ten lands, it could already roam countless places. patriarch xuan tian had been a god venerable realm expert. with the flame-wing beast, not many experts could threaten them when they returned to the nine heavens and ten lands. this was why qin chen was in such a hurry to break through. the peach garden had powerful remnants of divinity. apart from finding the great fortune left behind by the peerless expert, qin chen also wanted to find the place where the powerful divinity remained. if he wanted to get something good, he had to get this treasure. he was already only a step away from the god emperor realm now. when he advanced to the god emperor realm, it would be the time for him to return to the nine heavens and ten lands. at that time, no enemy would be able to defeat him for sure. rather, qin chen could even turn the tables and hunt them down instead. after all, during this period, his strength had improved so much that it could be described as monstrous. such a shocking and terrifying increase was simply unfathomable. however, this was qin chen¡¯s strength. he needed to be more powerful to survive. otherwise, he would not be a match for those old monsters that had been around since the ancient era. if he wanted to survive when the world descended into chaos, he could only rely on his powerful strength. at that time, the world would be chaotic, and the opportunity to become a great emperor would appear. beings from all walks of life would show themselves, wanting to try and see if they could obtain that opportunity. plus, who knew what the nine heavens and ten lands had become now? that was why qin chen wanted to break through his realm so quickly. with that, he followed the flame-wing beast and continued to search the peach garden. however, not only was there the power of rules left behind by that terrifying expert but also a powerful illusion. the illusion was extremely powerful. even the powerful flame-wing beast would fall into it. from this, one could see how terrifying this illusion was. qin chen opened his third eye. between his brows, an illusory divine eye appeared. netherworld eye! in an instant, he saw through the illusion. no matter how powerful the illusion was, it was nothing before qin chen¡¯s netherworld eye. qin chen walked forward step by step. ¡°follow me.¡± everyone quickly followed him. there were many dangers in this illusion. if no one led them through it, they would easily lose their lives. this was something that everyone knew. when they were moving forward, the flame-wing beast suddenly triggered a terrifying restriction and was almost seriously injured. there was clearly nothing, but he had unknowingly triggered a terrifying restriction. ¡°this peach garden is filled with killing intent,¡± the big scorpion said in a deep voice. even the powerful god emperor realm flame-wing beast could die due to the traps here. it was very likely that this was a restriction that had been left behind previously. this illusion and restriction simply could not stop that expert. therefore, he only left some power of rules in the peach garden. qin chen led everyone forward. in the peach garden were peach blossoms as old as a thousand years. unfortunately, qin chen and the others didn¡¯t have the time to appreciate them. terrifying dangers lurked in the depths of buzhou mountain, making qin chen and the others even more vigilant. however, they didn¡¯t notice that something seemed to be changing in the depths of buzhou mountain. after some time, qin chen and the others finally arrived at a place covered in grass. there were no peach blossom trees here, and qin chen¡¯s netherworld eyes didn¡¯t discover anything. he thus put away the netherworld eyes. ¡°look, what¡¯s that?¡± the big scorpion said with surprise as he looked at the grass that was blooming with moonlight. the grass was sparkling and translucent. could this be the great fortune of this place? qin chen slowly approached, but he still didn¡¯t let his guard down. under such circumstances, it was more likely that they would encounter terrifying danger. as qin chen approached, a sharp sword light suddenly shot out from the void. he only managed to change the trajectory of the attack by using the moving secret technique. the sharp sword light slashed down on qin chen¡¯s supreme heavenly origin armor. the sound of metal clashing rang out. it was so terrifying that no one could look at it directly. obviously, the terrifying sword light was extremely fear-invoking! qin chen abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. he was injured, though not severely. everyone gasped. if it were them, their heads might have already fallen to the ground. only qin chen could withstand such an attack. qin chen then plucked the terrifying grass. ¡°finally, i got it.¡± the treasure that the expert had left behind in the peach garden under the protection of the power of rules was now in qin chen¡¯s hands. he then placed it into his storage ring. now was not the time to refine it. immediately after, qin chen led everyone to continue searching for the place with powerful divinity remnants. as long as he found that place, he would be able to check-in. the treasures obtained through checking in with the system were rarely ordinary. qin chen could feel the powerful remnants of divinity in the peach garden. ¡°strange.¡± he frowned. yet, he did not find anything. the place where there was a powerful divinity remnant seemed nowhere to be found. it felt near, but qin chen couldn¡¯t find anything. as time passed, qin chen grew anxious. after all, if they continued searching for the terrifying divinity remnant, that terrifying expert might return to the peach garden. at that time, qin chen and the others would be unable to escape even if they had wings. ¡°it must be here.¡± qin chen seemed to have thought of something as he looked up into the sky. he finally found the problem.. Chapter 792 - Chapter 792: Vast Tranquil Heaven Furnace chapter 792: vast tranquil heaven furnace translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio it wasn¡¯t that qin chen couldn¡¯t find it. rather, it was very likely that the terrifying remnants of divinity existed in the void. if that was the case, then it made sense. if the powerful divinity only existed in the void, it was very likely that it had been sealed there. no wonder there was such a powerful treasure in this terrifying peach garden. qin chen then began to explore the abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding void. if he could find the abnormal fluctuations in the void, he would be able to break it and find the place where the powerful divinity remnant was. there wasn¡¯t much time left, so he had to hurry up. otherwise, it would lead to unimaginable consequences. they had already triggered the power of rules left behind by the terrifying expert in the peach garden. the other party already knew what they were doing. qin chen searched for abnormal fluctuations in the void. he didn¡¯t expect that he would really be able to find them. with the abnormal fluctuation, qin chen¡¯s terrifying spiritual power found the location of the divinity remnants. following this, he held the innate sword embryo in his hand and infused the divine power in his body into it. in an instant, he slashed out with his sword! a terrifying extreme emperor¡¯s might permeated the air and exploded with terrifying power. this sword strike was like an attack released by a peerless sword celestial, instantly cutting through the void. unexpectedly, qin chen had really found it. he smiled as he looked at the crack in the void. then, he slashed out with his sword once again, cutting the gap in the passageway to the size of a person. in this way, he could enter. after that, qin chen flew in, and everyone hurriedly followed. after entering the passageway in the void, qin chen looked inside. this was actually another world. he didn¡¯t expect that the surroundings were filled with terrifying lava. there was a skeleton on the ground. it looked like it had been dead for a long time. the bones were broken, and the owner of the skeleton seemed to have suffered very serious injuries before death. the powerful pressure the skeleton emitted was suffocating. what was the reason for such a powerful expert to die here? qin chen and the others were clueless. qin chen continued forward. he could feel that the skeleton should be the one emitting the powerful divinity remnant. this also showed how terrifying this skeleton was. it was very likely that it had already reached an unimaginable realm. then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding dong!] [remnants of divinity have been discovered here. would the host like to sign in here?] [note: this location can be checked into repeatedly!] qin chen was right. the place with the powerful divinity remnant was indeed here. [congratulations to the host for successfully checking in to the place where the quasi-emperor chi fang died. you have obtained the vast tranquil heaven furnace!] [vast tranquil heaven furnace: a secret treasure refined by a human expert, chi fang, from the primordial era of the nine heavens and ten lands. it can melt experts and store terrifying attacks to counter them.] ¡°what?!¡± this was simply unimaginable to qin chen. how was this possible? to think the skeleton that existed in the void was an expert from the nine heavens and ten lands. could it be that the other party also relied on the white jade stone to come to the divine illusionary realm? it was a pity that chi fang, who was once a half-step quasi-emperor, had died here. from the looks of it, a terrifying battle had erupted in this peach garden before he died. someone had killed him here. qin chen found it hard to comprehend that he could meet an ¡°old friend¡± here. after that, a terrifying furnace appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. the furnace was only the size of a palm. it emitted powerful pressure in qin chen¡¯s hand. if qin chen poured all his divine power into it, he would be able to activate it. at that time, it would become incomparably huge. qin chen quickly refined the vast tranquil heaven furnace. this thing was a treasure. if he encountered a powerful enemy, he could take it out and use it to block the terrifying attack of the other party. it might even save his life at a critical moment. thinking of this, qin chen put away the terrifying furnace. then, he took the skeleton out and buried it. after all, the latter was from the same place. he couldn¡¯t just leave the other party in this state. following this, qin chen destroyed the spatial crack and led everyone out of the peach garden. if they continued to stay in the peach garden, it was very likely that they would encounter that terrifying expert returning. at that time, it would be difficult for them to escape even if they had wings. rather, they would most likely die here. therefore, qin chen immediately led everyone away. in any case, that fellow had yet to catch up. if the other party really did catch up, he could activate the white jade stone in his hand instantly and bring everyone back to the nine heavens and ten lands. although qin chen had just checked in and obtained a magic item, it was still not as powerful as the innate sword embryo. that being said, it would be of great and immeasurable benefit to him. after all, it could easily block the terrifying attacks of experts and even store the other party¡¯s attacks. how could qin chen let go of such a treasure? currently, everyone was moving forward. after leaving the peach garden, they met another group of powerful cultivators. the group of powerful cultivators looked like they were chasing after an expert. unfortunately, the expert they were chasing was very powerful. in just an instant, he had left them thousands of miles behind. however, the expert that was being chased had serious injuries. along the way, fresh blood dripped down, which made qin chen and the others shocked. if such a powerful expert was being hunted down, one could imagine how precious his treasures were. however, this wasn¡¯t something they could worry about. behind the expert were several terrifying figures who were following the former closely. qin chen hurriedly left with the others. after all, if they stayed here any longer, something might happen. qin chen seemed to have a premonition that they might meet a powerful expert. that was why he wanted to leave with everyone. he did not dare to use his life as a bet. after all, the risk was too great. it was better to be safe than sorry.. Chapter 793 - Chapter 793: Sunbird chapter 793: sunbird translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio soon, qin chen left the peach garden with the others and arrived at another place that seemed to be a plain. there were many golden birds on the plain. the golden birds invoked fear in qin chen¡¯s heart. it seemed that they could attack the divine soul. ¡°this¡­ this is a sunbird.¡± the flame-wing beast trembled uncontrollably as it uttered these words. qin chen and the others had never heard of the sunbird before, so they immediately asked about it. the flame-wing beast slowly explained the origins of the sunbird, causing everyone to be even more shocked. ¡°the sunbird is an ancient era divine beast. it is said that it has the bloodline of a phoenix. ¡± if it was just this, it would not have shocked everyone. ¡°they are protected by an auspicious opportunity. even though the experts of the various divine beast races have dwindled, the sunbird race still has multiple experts. wherever the sunbirds appear, those places become uninhabited. they used to feed on ancient divine beasts. their strength is extremely terrifying. ¡± hearing this, apprehension bubbled in everyone¡¯s hearts. such a terrifying being like the sunbird should not have appeared in this world. the flame-wing beast continued, ¡°there was once a mighty human who had a rare treasure, the sun-shooting bow. he killed ten experts of the sunbird race, making them extremely furious. therefore, they surrounded and killed that expert. if that peerless expert still exists in this world, i¡¯m afraid the sunbird wouldn¡¯t have been so arrogant.¡± the fact that this race could survive in the depths of buzhou mountain showed how terrifying their power was. qin chen then said to everyone, ¡°let¡¯s leave this place.¡± after all, if they continued to move forward, they would be courting death. since there was nothing wrong with their brains, they would naturally not choose to continue moving forward. everyone nodded and wanted to leave with qin chen. unexpectedly, one of the sunbirds that were circling the sky noticed them. its eyes seemed to be flickering with light, and the feathers on its body were burning with terrifying flames. it then swooped down towards qin chen and the others. seeing a sunbird targeting them, qin chen and the others were extremely shocked. they had no choice but to flee as far away as possible from this place. if they still stayed in this area of wilderness, it was very likely that they would provoke even more sunbirds. ¡°hurry up and escape!¡± qin chen roared. he then used the moving secret technique and charged forward. the sunbird was extremely fast, to the point it was tearing through the void. qin chen had only seen such speed on a small number of creatures. soon, the sunbird arrived before qin chen. without a choice, qin chen brandished the innate sword embryo and poured the divine power in his body into it. in an instant, the innate sword embryo started emitting an extreme emperor¡¯s might. the terrifying pressure made the sunbird feel as if it was under the threat of death. what kind of expert could leave behind such a terrifying aura? then, the shock in its eyes slowly receded, and what followed was greed. if it could snatch this treasure, it was very likely that its strength would increase by a qualitative leap. therefore, the sunbird wanted to kill qin chen. in an instant, his claws turned into indestructible sharp lights that grabbed at the latter, wanting to tear qin chen¡¯s body into two. the sunbird was extremely fast, so much so that it even tore the void apart. its pair of bird claws were truly incomparably terrifying. if qin chen was hit by its attack, he knew that he would very likely be severely injured. therefore, qin chen slashed out with the innate sword embryo. with a slash, the incomparably terrifying void trembled. clearly, this sword strike was far more terrifying than qin chen¡¯s previous attacks. after all, he had already broken through to level 9 of the god realm, so he could naturally unleash greater power with the innate sword embryo. in the instant that both sides clashed, the sunbird¡¯s claws were injured by the innate sword embryo. it looked at qin chen in disbelief. what was going on? in its eyes, this human cultivator was extremely weak. how could the latter hurt it? the only explanation was the powerful innate sword embryo in qin chen¡¯s hands. it was very likely that it was a treasure from a powerful existence. this was a powerful weapon that the sunbird had never seen before. therefore, it became even crazier, wanting to burn qin chen to death. the sunbird flapped its wings, and a raging fire that spanned three thousand miles swept toward qin chen, seemingly wanting to burn him into ashes and erase him from this world. unfortunately, qin chen was not someone to be trifled with. he immediately threw out a palm strike which was condensed with the green lotus demonic flame in his body. the green lotus demonic flame was a terrifying flame left behind by the demon race¡¯s emperor qing. emperor qing was originally a lotus flower that had attained the dao. that was why he could produce such terrifying flames. and now, facing the terrifying sunbird, qin chen immediately made his move, wanting to kill this sunbird. otherwise, if he did not get rid of this terrifying sunbird immediately, he might attract more sunbirds. after all, there was a huge group of sunbirds here. moreover, the appearance of so many sunbirds was enough to show that there might be even more powerful beings among the sunbirds here. qin chen abruptly attacked, not giving the sunbird any time to react. since the other party had chosen to chase after them, qin chen would not let it live. if he could kill the other party, why would he let it go? thinking as such, qin chen immediately made his move. a terrifying lotus bloomed under his feet, like a flame. it emitted extremely powerful pressure. no matter what, he couldn¡¯t let the sunbird escape! there was a problem! the sunbird¡¯s eyes narrowed. it seemed to have sensed something. two terrifying flames collided. immediately after, qin chen¡¯s green lotus demonic flame seemed to be devouring the innate demonic flame released by the sunbird! what was left was a terrifying green-lotus-like flame that instantly enveloped the sunbird. qin chen didn¡¯t give the sunbird a chance to counterattack. he let the green lotus demonic flame burn the other party to death, turning the sunbird into ashes and disappearing into nothingness. this was the power of qin chen¡¯s green lotus demonic flame. this time, it could only be considered the sunbird¡¯s bad luck of picking on the wrong person.. Chapter 794 - Chapter 794: None Can Escape chapter 794: none can escape translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the realm of this sunbird was not too powerful, to begin with. therefore, qin chen took care of it easily and nothing of it was left. the corners of qin chen¡¯s mouth curled up. he had just successfully killed the lone sunbird that was chasing after them without alerting the other sunbirds. this meant that the expert among the sunbirds might be in seclusion. otherwise, they couldn¡¯t possibly be clueless that one of their kind had died. at this point, qin chen and the others didn¡¯t dare to approach the desolate plains anymore. they could only take a detour. if they were to forcefully cross the plains, the ones who would die would be them. with this, qin chen led the group in another direction. they had now arrived at a relatively safe place. they had rested here for a few days without any problems, which meant that this place was safe for the time being. thus, qin chen took out the grass from his storage ring. this sparkling and translucent celestial grass looked extremely extraordinary. otherwise, it would not have been protected by the power of rule left behind by some expert. in the peach garden, the most precious thing was probably this stalk of celestial grass. although qin chen and the others didn¡¯t know what it was, they could tell that it was most likely a heaven-grade treasure. it might even be a top-notch heaven-grade treasure. however, qin chen noticed that between the time he had plucked the celestial grass and taken it out from his storage ring, it had already lost a portion of its medicinal properties. only now did they realize that the celestial grass most likely couldn¡¯t be taken away directly. if they did that, it would deplete the medicinal properties of the celestial grass. this was the reason why that expert hadn¡¯t plucked the grass straight away. thinking of this, qin chen smiled. it was fine if he lost a little. it was better than not getting anything. then, qin chen used the sharp blade of the innate sword embryo to divide the sparkling celestial grass into six portions, one for each. holding the sparkling and translucent celestial grass in his hand, he could feel its terrifying medicinal strength continuously evaporating. as such, qin chen used his divine power to seal it. in this way, he could retain the medicinal properties that the grass had released and was free to refine it whenever he wanted. at this moment, qin chen and the others discovered a terrifying aura approaching them. whose aura was this? why was it so terrifying? they looked into the distance and saw that it was like a yellow storm. just as everyone had expected, there was a figure in the yellow storm. it was this figure who had caused such a terrifying yellow storm. ¡°run!¡± qin chen didn¡¯t even need to think to know that the figure in the terrifying yellow storm was definitely targeting them. the power of rules contained in the terrifying storm was so familiar. qin chen finally remembered where he had felt this familiar rule power. this was the power of rules that they had broken in the peach garden! it seemed that the terrifying figure in the peach garden had caught up with them. this was the most fatal part. qin chen and the others hadn¡¯t even had the time to refine the grass yet, and they were already being targeted by the other party, forcing them to constantly flee. upon hearing qin chen¡¯s command, everyone reacted quickly. without any hesitation, they fled forward. god knows what kind of danger lay ahead, but compared to the danger of losing their lives due to the pursuer behind them, there was more hope for survival ahead. at the thought of this, everyone hurriedly fled forward. unfortunately, the terrifying figure behind them in the yellow soil storm was closing in on them. the difference in speed was too great. fortunately, they were now close to a place that looked like ruins. if they could hide in it, they might be able to survive. it was already too late for qin chen to activate the white jade. therefore, their top priority was to survive and avoid this existence. the terrifying figure was clearly enraged by what qin chen and the others had done. only the latter¡¯s blood could appease his anger. if qin chen and the others didn¡¯t die, he would find it hard to swallow his anger. the figure within the storm revealed a smile. he had already found qin chen and the others. it was this group of fellows who had destroyed all the rule power he had left in the peach garden and taken away the celestial grass that carried great fortune. it was quite apparent that this figure was extremely powerful. no matter where qin chen and the others fled, as long as they were still in the depths of buzhou mountain, they couldn¡¯t escape from his grasp. he had already thought of how to deal with qin chen and the others. he had to make them wish they were dead. only by doing so would they be paying the price for what they had done. death was too easy for them. thinking of this, the terrifying figure became even more excited. he burst out with even greater speed, wanting to capture qin chen and the others. soon, qin chen and the others arrived in front of the ruins. they didn¡¯t know where exactly the ruins were, but there was still some terrifying power of order left. the power of order was essentially the same as the power of rules. however, the former was natural orders formed in the world, while the latter were rules that were man-made. there was a fundamental difference. to think there was such a powerful power of order here. could it be that a great war had broken out here before? it seemed that many experts had fought in the depths of buzhou mountain. he wondered why they fought. however, these were not things that qin chen and the others could think about right now. they were more concerned about whether they could survive. if they could not, it was very likely that they had reached the end of their lives. too many colorful streaks of power of order filled in the ruins. the power of order was extremely powerful. it was unknown when this war had erupted, but for the place to still be able to retain such a powerful power of order, it was enough to show how terrifying the cultivation of those who left behind such power was. ¡°continue to run!¡± ¡°don¡¯t worry! none of you will be able to escape!¡± the figure in the yellow storm followed qin chen and the others at a steady pace. when he saw the ruins, he smiled.. Chapter 795 - Chapter 795: Power of Order chapter 795: power of order translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio don¡¯t tell me you think that you can escape with the power of order here? ¡± qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t escape death in front of the expert in the yellow earth storm. seeing the expert in the yellow earth storm behind them get closer, qin chen and the others were extremely fearful. after all, the other party was too powerful. even if qin chen and the others were to join forces, they probably wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. the key was that they had completely offended him. if they didn¡¯t run, they would most likely die in his hands. however, it was already too late for qin chen and the others to run now. they could only rely on the power of order in the ruins and hope that they could avoid this calamity. what they didn¡¯t expect was that the terrifying expert was even faster than they had imagined. now, the other party was extremely close to them. left with no other choice, qin chen hurriedly led everyone to hide in the ruins, hiding while running. it was a pity that they still left behind traces and were caught up by that terrifying expert riding the yellow earth storm. the terrifying yellow earth storm caused huge explosions in the ruins, making the place like an apocalyptic scene. it was inexplicably fear-invoking. it seemed that the terrifying expert had made up his mind to kill qin chen and the others. they had no choice but to continue hiding to avoid being killed. the terrifying expert kept searching for them. as long as he could find them, he would not give up and vowed to kill them. qin chen and the others had snatched away his great fortune. to think such weaklings dared to touch his things, they simply deserved to die! that was why he wanted to kill qin chen and the others. in the ruins, an unknown amount of terrifying powers of order was emitting light. among these powers of order, some were powerful enough to heavily injure qin chen. in contrast, some were so weak that they couldn¡¯t even lift a single strand of qin chen¡¯s hair. of course, some powers of order were so terrifying that they could even make qin chen¡¯s heart palpitate. he felt that if he were to accidentally collide with them, he might die immediately. this was the strength of the powers of order. qin chen and the others had only run this way in hopes to survive. they originally thought that this terrifying expert wouldn¡¯t chase after them anymore once they reached the ruins. however, they did not expect that the expert was still chasing after them. the other party wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop. as qin chen continued to advance, the terrifying expert followed. the expert didn¡¯t expect that the powers of order here would be so terrifying. a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. however, so what? he didn¡¯t believe that qin chen and the others could continue to flee. suddenly, there was a boom. qin chen turned his head and looked over. the expert in the yellow earth storm had been sent flying and crashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke. seeing that the other party¡¯s strength was not invincible and that there were many powerful powers of order that could hurt the other party, qin chen and the others felt that their chances of survival had increased. in other words, as long as they quickly hid, they should still have a chance of escaping, as long as they did not get caught up by the other party. thinking of this, qin chen led the group and hurried forward. the figure of the expert in the yellow earth storm slowly stood up from the ruins. his eyes were filled with anger. he kept searching for traces of qin chen and the others. he never thought that the powers of order here would be even more terrifying than his power of rules! one had to know that he was already very powerful, yet the powers of order left behind in the ruins could injure him. this also meant that a battle between experts stronger than him had once happened here. otherwise, it was impossible for the remnant power to be able to hurt him. he shook his head. obviously, qin chen and the others had already fled far away. it would probably take him a lot of effort to catch up. then, the expert in the yellow earth storm closed his eyes. qin chen and the others had taken away his most valued treasure in the peach garden. this was something he could not tolerate. then, the terrifying expert extended his spiritual will and spread out in all directions. even if he had to risk being devoured, he had to find qin chen and the others. it didn¡¯t take long for him to find them. at that point, qin chen and the others felt as if they were being stared at by a terrifying expert. when they turned around, they indeed found that the other party¡¯s spiritual power had been cast on them. in other words, their whereabouts had been exposed. the figure in the yellow earth storm opened his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of blood. he was injured. he had extended his spiritual will to look for his targets and thus triggered some of the powers of order that targeted his primordial soul. they destroyed his spiritual will and cause him to suffer a backlash. with this, he was even more determined to kill qin chen and the others. no matter what, he had to get that glistening grass back. this was the most important thing for him to break through to his current realm. he absolutely could not lose it! if qin chen and the others wanted to escape, then he would chase them to the ends of the earth to get this glistening grass back. however, he never expected that qin chen had already divided the glistening grass into six portions and handed them out to everyone. if he knew, he would probably go crazy. unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know about this at the moment. as such, he flew forward and chased after them again. he once again detonated streaks of powers of order along the way. there was a benefit to doing so though. it would make qin chen and the others feel great psychological pressure. they would be in a panic, which would make it likely for them to trigger some powers of order, in turn causing them to be injured and stop, allowing him to catch up. to the terrifying expert, the powers of order that he had detonated did not cause much harm to him. he had not encountered any that could really threaten him. very soon, this terrifying expert caught up to qin chen and the others. he then looked at qin chen coldly.. Chapter 796 - Chapter 796: I’ll Return It to You! chapter 796: i¡¯ll return it to you! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio in the eyes of this terrifying figure, qin chen and the others were just ants that he could crush at any time. ¡°elder king, what should we do?¡± the big scorpion and the others were panicking. after all, even though the flame-wing beast had broken through to the god venerable realm, it was still not a match for this terrifying expert. at this moment, qin chen looked at the figure of this terrifying expert. beneath the latter was a yellow earth storm, making him look like the king of the earth. what should he do now? qin chen didn¡¯t know either. ¡°how do you want to die?¡± the terrifying figure slowly asked. the fact that they could escape to this extent showed that qin chen and the others were extraordinary. however, none of this was important. the most important thing for him was to snatch back the grass that qin chen and the others had snatched. at this moment, qin chen and the others were sweating profusely. no matter how they attacked, they would be no match for the other party. this terrifying figure could crush them. it was easy peasy for the other party to deal with them. ¡°you don¡¯t have a choice either. i will make you pay a sufficient price. death is too easy for you, ¡± this terrifying figure spoke viciously. no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t give qin chen and the others the chance to leave. he would personally destroy them and make them regret it. ¡°hand over what you took.¡± qin chen naturally knew what this guy was talking about. the atmosphere was heavy. the matter now concerned their lives. hearing the words of this terrifying figure, qin chen was also prepared. ¡°the thing you¡¯re talking about should be this, right?¡± qin chen took out one of the six portions of grass from his storage ring. the glistening grass, which should have been a top-notch heaven-grade treasure, was now but a short section. ¡°good! very good!¡± the terrifying figure on the yellow earth storm was so angry that he was about to vomit blood! now that the glistening grass had been cut into small portions, even if he could find all of them, the medicinal properties would probably have been lost by an unknown amount. to him, the chance of breaking through with the grass had thus been reduced by more than 50%. if that was the case, how could he let the matter rest? he had to kill qin chen and the others! the terrifying figure¡¯s eyes were filled with rage as he slapped out with his palm, wanting to kill qin chen and the others. this palm seemed to contain a terrifying power of rules. even if qin chen and the others used their full strength, they would not be able to block it. the surrounding powers of order also began to rage! multicolored light flowed like glass. with that, qin chen made a prompt decision and took out the vast tranquil heaven furnace. as soon as this terrifying furnace was taken out, the surrounding space was filled with a faint pressure. the incomparably terrifying pressure seemed to want to suppress this ruin. ¡°suppress!¡± qin chen naturally couldn¡¯t block the terrifying palm attack, so he took out the vast tranquil heaven furnace, wanting to suppress the attack, and put it into the furnace. the terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm was extremely shocked. what kind of treasure was this? he could tell at a glance that this treasure was definitely no ordinary item. it immediately caused his mind to move. the terrifying figure then saw that his palm attack was absorbed into the furnace. ¡°this¡­ how is this possible?¡± this scene was simply unacceptable to the terrifying figure. how could he not know how powerful his palm was? yet, it was directly suppressed and kept in the furnace! qin chen panted heavily. he looked at the terrifying figure and slowly said, return this palm to you!¡± following this, he instantly sent out the palm attack that was suppressed through the furnace. the incomparably terrifying palm attack had been unleashed by the terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm. but now, it was attacking the person who had sent it out. how could the expert accept this? unfortunately, this was a powerful palm strike that he had sent out himself. as such, the terrifying expert on the yellow earth storm was soon sent flying and smashed into a ball of power of order. there was a loud bang. at this point, the yellow earth storm dissipated and the terrifying figure was injured. his entire face was flushed red, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. ¡°damn it!¡± he was extremely furious. how could that weakling hurt him like this? that was just an ant-like fellow! it should¡¯ve been impossible! seeing that the terrifying figure was injured, qin chen immediately wanted to leave with the others. after all, this was a rare opportunity. qin chen¡¯s consumption was also extremely great. activating the vast tranquil heaven furnace almost drained all the divine power in his body. he immediately swallowed some heavenly resources and left with everyone. they could not stay here any longer. otherwise, they might lose their lives. that terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm refused to give them the chance to leave alive. therefore, qin chen would surely not choose to stay. ¡°hurry up and leave!¡± that terrifying figure then rose into the sky from the ruins. he locked onto qin chen and the others, chasing after them. even if he had to pay a huge price, he vowed to eliminate them. otherwise, he would be inviting future disasters. that furnace had such power. if he could obtain it, it would definitely increase his strength by a lot. with that, this terrifying figure wielded a longsword and charged forward, chasing after qin chen and the others. qin chen and the others also knew that it was impossible for them to escape from the other party now, but still, they must not let the other party catch up to them. unfortunately, in the hands of a weakling like qin chen, the terrifying furnace was unable to unleash its full power. if the expert obtained the terrifying furnace, it would be easy for him to kill his enemies. therefore, he would not let qin chen off no matter what. he did not expect losing the heaven-grade celestial grass would allow him to encounter such a terrifying treasure. thinking of this, the terrifying figure continued to chase after his targets. he had to take down this furnace. only by doing so could he make up for his loss. qin chen and the others continued to dash through the ruins. that terrifying figure was high up in the sky, locking onto qin chen and the others. as long as he could get close to them, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to deal with them. however, qin chen and the others were like loaches that could not be caught. the terrifying expert continuously lost his targets. ¡°even if you escape to the ends of the world, you won¡¯t be able to survive! give up struggling!¡± when qin chen and the others heard this, they felt a huge pressure in their hearts. after all, they were too weak.. Chapter 797 - Chapter 797: Fainted chapter 797: fainted translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this terrifying figure continued to chase after them. no matter how terrifying the strange furnace was, it couldn¡¯t change the mind of the figure above the yellow soil storm. moreover, the furnace did not seem to have any ability to attack automatically. as long as he could catch up, he should be able to take the furnace very quickly. as such, he chased after qin chen and the others. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t expect that the figure above the yellow earth storm would be so persistent and quickly catch up to them. the terrifying figure immediately launched an attack, wanting to kill qin chen and the others and stop them from moving forward. but fortunately, qin chen had the vast tranquil heaven furnace, so facing the terrifying attack, he once again activated the furnace and stored that terrifying attack. with that, the vast tranquil heaven furnace emitted light as the terrifying attack within it was bombarding it. however, this was left behind by a half-step quasi-emperor-realm expert. it could easily block the other party¡¯s attack. soon after, qin chen and the others discovered a fluctuation in the void. what was this? qin chen didn¡¯t have time to think about it. god knows what kind of terrifying danger lay ahead, but compared to the terrifying figure chasing after them, they would rather die at the front. as such, qin chen charged forward. then, before the others could react, qin chen was gone, headed god knows where. after this, a distorted light appeared. it was actually a passageway! the others did not have time to hesitate and rushed in as well. since qin chen had already entered, what was there to think about? the figure on the yellow earth storm was also surprised. he did not expect that there would be a place like the secret void realm here. qin chen and the other weaklings had already rushed in. if he wanted to obtain the furnace in qin chen¡¯s hand, the only way for him to do so was to rush in as well. with that, the expert accelerated again and charged into the passageway. after entering the spatial passageway, a sea of stars seemed to appear before qin chen¡¯s eyes. what was this place? qin chen didn¡¯t know, nor did the others. this place seemed to just be a secret realm in the void. after roughly scanning his surroundings, qin chen immediately sent out his spiritual will to scout ahead. then, he continued to move forward. that terrifying figure would definitely not let them off, so they had to keep running. once they were caught, there would only be death. therefore, qin chen continued to advance using the moving secret technique. everyone immediately used all their strength to keep up. they did not have much chance to rest now. regardless of whether it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames ahead, they had to brace themselves and continue forward. otherwise, they would die without a burial place. the sea of stars was filled with countless stars. it made qin chen feel as if he had returned to the nine heavens and ten lands. what was this place? why was there a place in the divine illusionary world that was so similar to the nine heavens and ten lands? however, as qin chen continued forward, he saw the corpses of some experts. judging from those corpses, the experts did not seem to have died for too they were not like the other corpses he had encountered in the depths of buzhou mountain, where almost all of them were bones. these corpses had not completely decomposed, and they weren¡¯t very strong. qin chen didn¡¯t have the time to stay behind and study. he immediately led the group forward. their figures kept flashing as they traversed the void. god knows where they were now, but corpses were still floating around them. that terrifying figure had already caught up, wanting to kill qin chen and the others. when he appeared in the secret realm, he was shocked beyond words. however, the aura fluctuations of qin chen and the others were already extremely weak. after he locked onto it, he gave chase. no matter what, he had to kill qin chen. everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. they felt that something was wrong. ¡°what is this place? why does it feel so familiar?¡± even the big scorpion was in disbelief. weren¡¯t they still in the divine illusionary world? how could this place make him feel as if he had returned to the nine heavens and ten lands? ¡°this, this is impossible!¡± if they wanted to return to the nine heavens and ten lands, they had to activate the white jade stone. otherwise, they would not be able to return. only when one¡¯s cultivation reached the level of an ancient great emperor would one have a chance of breaking through the barrier of this world. otherwise, there was no way to return. qin chen¡¯s scalp went numb. if this really was the divine illusionary world¡¯s connecting passage to the nine heavens and ten lands, they would bring the terrifying figure who had been chasing them back to the nine heavens and ten lands. at that time, many innocent people might die. therefore, qin chen was extremely uncertain. were they still in the divine illusionary world? there seemed to be an aura of life in some place far away. qin chen¡¯s sharp senses caught it. then, they flew over. he wondered how powerful the owner of the life aura was. unexpectedly, when qin chen and the others approached, they discovered that the owner of the life aura was only at level 8 of the supreme sage realm. he was too weak. it should be almost impossible for someone so weak to appear in the divine illusionary world. at this point, qin chen could only solve his questions once he found the owner of the life aura. the level 8 supreme sage realm expert¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. he could feel that a terrifying expert was approaching him! the other party¡¯s pressure was as majestic as mount everest! he felt as if he was on the verge of death. even if he escaped now, death would still be his outcome. he couldn¡¯t run at all. how could there be such a terrifying expert here? ¡°i¡­ am i going to die?¡± his eyes were filled with fear, and his body kept trembling. he had never heard of such a powerful existence existing in this world. his level 8 supreme sage realm cultivation was nothing in the eyes of the other party. he did not want to die. unfortunately, there was no way out, because six terrifying figures had already appeared in front of him. qin chen immediately raised his hand and grabbed the level 8 supreme sage realm expert. he then used the moving secret technique and fled with the others. surrounded by so many experts, the level 8 supreme sage realm expert fainted. ¡°what happened?¡± qin chen looked at this expert with the third eye on his forehead and shook his head helplessly. ¡°this guy fainted..¡± Chapter 798 - Chapter 798: Back! chapter 798: back! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio what was going on? if qin chen and the others wanted to know the answer, they would have to wait for this guy to wake up. ¡°hey. qin chen shot out a beam of energy, which entered the other party¡¯s body and woke him up. ¡°who are you? this expert who was still unconscious just now could not help but be shocked after he woke up. several terrifying experts were right in front of him. he was really unlucky. why was his luck so bad? hearing qin chen¡¯s question, he quickly replied, ¡°i¡¯m an expert from the forest mountain race. i¡¯m here to fight for a treasure with the experts of the powerful cosmic races.¡± ¡°what?!¡± this time, it was qin chen and the others¡¯ turn to be shocked to the point of madness. they were back! without passing through the white jade stone, they had returned to the nine heavens and ten lands, as well as the cosmic, from the divine illusionary realm. how was this possible? the supreme sage felt as if he was about to die under the pressure of these experts. then, he saw the appearance of qin chen and the others. qin chen¡¯s face was covered in a chaotic light, making it hard to see his true appearance. there was also a demon among them, who seemed to be an expert of the scorpion race. other than that, there were two beautiful women and two other experts he did not recognize. a light suddenly flashed in his mind. could they be the human elder king and the others? one had to know that the name of the human elder king was very resounding. it was just that no one knew where he had gone. many old farts and monsters who had revived were looking for the whereabouts of the human elder king. but how could they have become so powerful? this simply could not be understood with common sense. he was a peerless level 8 supreme sage-realm expert, but in front of qin chen and the others, he was like an ant. could it be that the human race elder king had gone to break through these few days? comparing really made one infuriated. the current elder king of the human race had long cultivated to the peak. not many experts could be his match. the big scorpion said with great difficulty. he was in disbelief, ¡°we¡­ are we really back?¡± they found a ruin in the depths of buzhou mountain in the divine illusionary realm. after they came out, they were back in the cosmic. they did not even know how they had broken through the barrier between the two worlds. but this was reality. no matter how much they did not believe it, they could only nod. after all, they had already returned. qin chen seemed to be a little shocked and hadn¡¯t recovered yet. still, he continued to ask, ¡°do you know the current situation in the nine heavens and ten lands? ¡® the level 8 supreme sage-realm expert was so scared that he revealed everything he knew. ¡°in the nine heavens and ten lands, the human race and the ten thousand ancient races have joined forces to resist some old monsters who have revived. unfortunately, many experts have died over the years.¡± in an instant, the level 8 supreme sage-realm expert felt a chilling killing intent. it was extremely terrifying. it seemed that this fellow in front of him should be the human elder king without a doubt. ¡°there are quite a number of old farts who have put up a bounty on the human elder king, wanting to find clues about his whereabouts.¡± upon hearing this, qin chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. as expected, those old farts and old monsters had started making their moves and were looking for his whereabouts. therefore, it was not the time for qin chen and the others to be exposed. however, there was a bigger problem now. that was, the figure on the yellow soil storm had returned with them. if the other party knew that this wasn¡¯t the divine illusionary realm, he would definitely go crazy and act recklessly. perhaps even more living beings would die at his hands then. therefore, qin chen and the others had to think of a way to prevent this terrifying expert from staying in the nine heavens and ten lands. thinking of this, qin chen threw away the level 8 supreme sage expert in his hand. right now, the figure of the terrifying yellow storm was approaching them. ¡°escape? do you think you can escape?¡± the figure above the yellow earth storm approached qin chen and the others. what qin chen and the others were thinking about now was how they could eliminate this guy. if the other party was allowed to live freely in the nine heavens and ten lands, it was very likely that he would bring about more killings. the other party might even follow the clues and find his way to the nine heavens and ten lands. at that time, it would bring disaster to qin chen¡¯s friends and family, as well as the factions related to him. after all, if the other party couldn¡¯t find qin chen, how could he not find a faction related to qin chen? to him, it should be a piece of cake. qin chen¡¯s eyelids twitched when he thought of the possible serious consequences. looking at the terrifying expert chasing after them, qin chen formulated a plan in his heart. no matter what, he had to find a way to get rid of this guy. qin chen had never thought that he would return to the nine heavens and ten lands in such a way. he recalled that there were a lot of dowers of order in the ruins. it seemed that back then, some expert had torn open the barrier between the divine illusionary realm and the nine heavens and ten lands, which had allowed qin chen and the others to return to the cosmic so easily. without the white jade stone, it was theoretically impossible to cross between the two worlds. otherwise, the divine illusionary realm and the nine heavens and ten lands would have been in chaos long ago. however, from the looks of it, not many knew of the passageway in the divine illusionary world that was connected to the nine heavens and ten lands. therefore, qin chen and the others could still take advantage of the fact that the expert on the yellow earth storm thought that he was still in the divine illusionary realm to get rid of him. otherwise, it would very likely bring about huge trouble. at this moment, qin chen and the others were moving forward. they were surprised to find a powerful divinity remnant fluctuation in front of them, attracting qin chen. qin chen was extremely sensitive to these fluctuations. he caught it. after realizing that there was a powerful divinity fluctuation, qin chen hurriedly brought everyone closer. behind them, the figure above the terrifying yellow storm was still chasing after them. he wanted to kill them here. following this, a stone inscription appeared in front of qin chen. he was extremely excited because the powerful divinity remnant was released from the stone inscription. presumably, it was something left behind by a terrifying expert back then. if qin chen could check in here, he should be able to obtain some treasures.. Chapter 799 - Chapter 799: Hundred Ghost Punishment Array chapter 799: hundred ghost punishment array translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen could feel the powerful divinity fluctuations from the stone inscriptions before him. he was extremely excited because he knew that such a thing with powerful divinity remnants was a rare treasure! after all, he had the system. he could check in and obtain some precious treasures. right now, even if qin chen and the others went all out, they probably wouldn¡¯t have any hope of defeating that terrifying figure on the yellow earth storm. therefore, qin chen placed his hopes on the stone inscription not far away from him. he had to check in and get something good. otherwise, it was very likely that he would die at the hands of that terrifying expert. he did have a premonition, though. he believed that he should be able to get a treasure from checking in here. if he couldn¡¯t kill that terrifying expert, he might go mad, because the other party would most certainly attack those who were related to him. such a terrifying expert could do a lot of things. no matter how terrifying qin chen and the others were, they were still no match for him. following this, qin chen flew over with everyone. finally, they arrived in front of the stone inscription. then, the system¡¯s voice rang out in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding, dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: this location can be checked into repeatedly!] as qin chen expected, he could indeed check in here. [congratulations to the host for successfully checking in to the ghost ancestor¡¯s tribulation location. you have obtained a supreme secret treasure, the hundred ghost punishment array!] [hundred ghost punishment array: an array left behind by the ghost ancestor. it is said to be able to injure quasi-emperors. it possesses terrifying power. anyone under the quasi-emperor realm cannot survive. (one-time use)] upon hearing this, qin chen almost could not believe that his luck was so this was simply giving him a pillow when he was sleepy! with this, he now had the strength to make a move against the terrifying expert since he had obtained the hundred ghost punishment array which was extremely terrifying and could kill all experts below the quasi-emperor realm. according to the strength the other party had unleashed, the figure above the yellow earth storm must not have reached the quasi-emperor realm. therefore, the other party should be unable to resist this terrifying attack. he would ultimately die in this array! thinking of this, qin chen burst into laughter. now, he finally found a way to defeat the other party. behind qin chen, the figure on the yellow earth storm continued to chase after him. when he saw qin chen and the others stop, he couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. since they had stopped, he could suppress them. at that time, not only would he be able to get back his glistening grass, but he would also be able to snatch that terrifying furnace from qin chen. as long as he made a move, he would definitely succeed. after he obtained those things, the survival of qin chen and the others would depend on his mood. at the thought of this, he continued to chase forward like a madman. under his terrifying power, qin chen and the others simply couldn¡¯t stop him. to him, they were just ants that could be crushed at any time. they couldn¡¯t pose any threat to him at all. qin chen smiled. now, he had the hundred ghost punishment array in his hands. as long as he could trap this guy inside, the latter would most definitely die. one had to know that the hundred ghost punishment array was a treasure that could injure quasi-emperors and kill anyone below that realm. one could imagine how terrifying it was. ¡°surrender!¡± the terrifying expert laughed. in his opinion, qin chen and the others¡¯ deaths were certain. as long as he made a move, the other party would definitely die at his hands. were they crazy:¡¯ to think they dared to fantasize about being able to survive from his hands. qin chen sneered as he watched the terrifying expert charge toward him. he then threw the array out from his storage ring. before that terrifying expert could react, he was enveloped by the huge array. the huge array was like an inescapable net as it appeared in the blink of an eye! shit, to think there was a trap! the terrifying expert was shocked. so it turned out that the other party wanted to trap him in this array. yet, how powerful could the array they set up be? ¡®you want to trap and kill me? what a joke!¡± this terrifying expert immediately laughed. with that, he walked out step by step. then, he saw the scene in the outside world, and his heart shook. terrifying ghosts appeared in the array one after another and surrounded him. the aura of these malicious ghosts was extremely terrifying, and it actually made his heart palpitate. on top of that, the number of ghosts was still increasing. they looked like a sea that was about to drown him. if he let them be, he would definitely die. at the thought of this, the terrifying expert immediately became uneasy. just what was the origin of this large array? to think it possessed such terrifying pressure. even though the terrifying expert found it unbelievable, he could not help but treat it seriously. this was because if the terrifying attacks of so many malicious ghosts were released, he would not be able to block them at all. rather, he might be injured. damn it! where did those weaklings get these treasures from? the terrifying expert could not help but be incomparably furious. he had originally thought that the items in qin chen¡¯s hands were already enough to shock him, but now, the latter had taken out another such terrifying treasure. the expert was incomparably tempted. however, the biggest problem he had to face now was how he should survive. if he did not think of a solution as soon as possible, he would soon die under the attacks of these countless ghosts. after all, the malicious ghosts were very powerful. with that, the figure above the yellow earth storm struck out countless powers of rules, wanting to blast open the huge array. the terrifying powers of rules instantly tore apart the bodies of countless malicious ghosts. however, as some malicious ghosts died, new ones appeared. they continued to attack the terrifying expert. all they wanted was to kill this terrifying expert, but the latter didn¡¯t seem to have realized this at all. he just wanted to break the array.. Chapter 800 - Chapter 800: Consider Carefully Before Making a Decision chapter 800: consider carefully before making a decision translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio was this the power of the hundred ghost punishment array? as qin chen watched the intense battle within the array, he couldn¡¯t help but feel his scalp go numb. if he was in this array, he would not even be able to last for an incense stick¡¯s time before he would be drowned by the attacks of countless malicious ghosts. at that time, only death would await him. and now, the terrifying figure above the yellow earth storm was fighting with the countless malicious ghosts. he was inadvertently injured by some malicious ghosts and bleeding profusely from his hideous wounds. if this went on, he would be exhausted to death here. the array emitted terrifying killing intent, and countless cold winds caressed the face of the terrifying expert. ¡°damn it! what kind of array is this?¡± the terrifying expert had never encountered such a terrifying array before. this was simply beyond his imagination. he could no longer remember how many times he had walked on the edge of death. it was all thanks to his perseverance that he had survived until now. otherwise, he would have long died under the attacks of these malicious ghosts. although these countless malicious ghosts weren¡¯t of too powerful realms, they were still quite powerful. moreover, there were so many of them. if all of them rushed forward at once, the terrifying expert would not be able to resist at all. he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on. he had to think of a way to break this array. then, this terrifying expert seemed to have thought of something, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. he roared and punched the ground. countless rocks were shattered, then flew, condensing into earth shields in front of him and fully enveloping him. in this way, he no longer had to resist the attacks of those terrifying malicious ghosts. as for how long the shields could last, even the terrifying expert himself did not know. he could only take it one step at a time. the incomparably hard earth shields were strengthened with countless powers of rules as well. only by doing so could the shields block the attacks of the countless malicious ghosts. qin chen watched coldly from the side. this fellow had been chasing after them. if not for the other party, how could they have fallen into such a state? all that was happening now was his own fault. no one else could be blamed. at the same time, qin chen was still pondering over a question: what kind of terrifying existence had broken through the terrifying barrier between the two worlds? this was simply impossible to explain. if someone had such strength, this passageway should have long been exposed. countless experts from the divine illusionary world would have entered the nine heavens and ten lands. yet, the passageway was located in the depths of buzhou mountain and was even buried in ruins. why? qin chen had a feeling that things weren¡¯t that simple. he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. at this moment, countless malicious ghosts appeared in the hundred ghost punishment array and were fiercely bombarding the earth shields condensed by the terrifying expert. unexpectedly, the earth shields couldn¡¯t be destroyed in a short time. the eyes of the expert under the earth shields flickered. he knew that he could not hold on for a lifetime. it was very likely that it would not take long for his earth shields to be blasted apart by those terrifying malicious ghosts. those terrifying malicious ghosts were not to be trifled with. once they joined forces, wouldn¡¯t it be easy peasy for them to deal with him? countless malicious ghosts emitted terrifying auras as they launched attacks in the hundred ghost punishment array. the attacks hit the earth shields. leaving huge marks. it was only because there were powers of rules in the earth shields that the shields could still last. otherwise, the expert might have long been dead. thinking of this, everyone was excited. that insufferably arrogant expert had chased them from the depths of buzhou mountain to the cosmic, but he had ended up like this. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect this day to come for this fellow,¡± the big scorpion sighed. as long as qin chen didn¡¯t stop the terrifying array, the terrifying figure within would die without a doubt. the terrifying figure seemed to know that he had no chance to break the array. if this continued, he would really die. as such, he began sending a voice transmission, wanting to tell qin chen and the others that he was afraid and wanted to admit defeat. but now, it was too late. inside the array, countless malicious ghosts were emitting terrifying baleful energy. qin chen and the others who were far away outside the array could also feel the shocking fluctuations. as expected of an array created by the ghost ancestor. it had such terrifying power. even if the figure in the array had any tricks up his sleeve, he could only die in it. after all, the terrifying array was not to be trifled with. soon, the earth shields in the array shattered. as if dense spider webs had been woven onto the shields, they turned into countless pieces of stones with a loud bang. the terrifying expert behind the shields revealed a terrified expression. this was because he seemed to have sensed that something strange had happened in the huge array. qin chen and the others also saw it. all the terrifying malicious ghosts in the array fused, turning into a terrifying monster. it seemed to have no physical body, but it could affect reality. then, it struck out a palm at the terrifying expert. the light palm strike turned that terrifying expert into a puff of blood that dissipated between heaven and earth. ¡°he¡¯s dead¡­?¡± qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t believe it. to think such a powerful existence had died within the huge array just like that. facing the terrifying monster formed from the fusion of all the malicious ghosts, the other party did not even have the strength to resist. he was beaten into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye. how terrifying! then, the array slowly dissipated. it could only be used once. however, this time, it helped qin chen solve his pressing problem. he had finished off that terrifying figure. after that, qin chen began to plan. now, they had already passed through the ruins, crossed the world barrier, and returned to the cosmic. however, qin chen and the others had also heard the news that many old monsters and old farts were searching for the elder king¡¯s whereabouts right now. those people hadn¡¯t discovered anything yet, but the news of qin chen and the others would most likely be leaked by that level 8 supreme sage-realm expert. with that, many of qin chen¡¯s enemies would come looking for him. qin chen¡¯s choice was to return to the divine illusionary world and become stronger. as long as he returned to the divine illusionary world, he might be able to obtain other great fortunes, opportunities, and so on. their current strength was still somewhat lacking.. Chapter 801 - Chapter 801: Ice Cave chapter 801: ice cave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio in the end, the five-colored heavenly python still chose to believe qin chen¡¯s words for the time being. since that was the case, she decided to temporarily imprison them. the five-colored sky python turned around and left behind a sentence. ¡°lock them up together!¡± hearing this, the demons eagerly wanted to go up and cause trouble for qin chen and the others. ¡°let them live for now.¡± hearing the five-colored heavenly python¡¯s extra words, they temporarily gave up on this idea. still, as long as these humans were imprisoned, there would be plenty of ways to torture them. ¡°with your small bodies, let¡¯s send you to the ice cave. you might freeze to death soon, hahaha!¡± qin chen and the others obediently followed the demons and arrived at a cave in the mountain. the cave seemed extremely cold and strange as it was emitting endless frost. it was so cold that even the circulation of their spiritual energy was affected. before they could stand firm, they were forced to enter by pushes and kicks from the demons behind them. then, the demons ruthlessly blocked the entrance of the cave with a huge rock made of an unknown material. ¡°it¡¯s so cold!¡± they saw many corpses on the ground, almost all of them human. unexpectedly, those humans still maintained their last appearance after death. their expressions were lifelike, almost as if they had simply fallen into a deep sleep. in fact, they had died many years ago. since the ice cave could preserve corpses to such an extent, it was enough to imagine how extraordinary the ice cave was. ¡°this place is too cold. i¡¯m freezing to death,¡± the big scorpion cursed as it surveyed the surroundings. if they were to continue to be locked up here, they might soon end up like these humans. none of them could stand the cold. ever since they reached their current realm, it had been a long time since they felt such extreme cold. qin chen walked into the depths of the cave. he told everyone to wait here and not to wander around. god knows if there were any other dangers in this cave, so he went to scout first. ¡°we surely have no chance of escaping from a place that the five-colored sky python is so assured of.¡± qin chen had learned from the demons that this place was called the ice cave. it was indeed a cave made of mystic ice. soon, as he walked ahead, he saw some light. the blinking lights were reflected from something, making him think that there was some kind of living creature there. unexpectedly, when qin chen got closer, he realized that the blinking lights were actually just light reflected by some ice cubes. he placed his hands on the ice and noticed that his hands were quickly frozen by the cold. even his blood was frozen! the circulation of spiritual energy became extremely slow as if it had been greatly hindered. qin chen hurriedly took a few steps back. then, he used the spiritual energy in his body to thaw the stiff blood and meridians before his hand recovered. he continued advancing and saw a stone pillar standing upright. ¡°what is that?¡± qin chen slowly walked over and came before the stone pillar. the stone pillar was about the thickness of a giant tree and reached the top of the cave. it seemed that a great portion of it was still hidden in the walls. could it be that the coldness in this ice cave was brought about by this stone pillar? qin chen took out his innate sword embryo and slashed it with all his might. to his surprise, only a faint mark was left on it. the material of this stone pillar was far more extraordinary than he had imagined.. Chapter 802 - Chapter 802: God Venerable-realm Expert chapter 802: god venerable-realm expert translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°i wonder what this stone pillar is made of¡­¡± if qin chen was outside, he could use all his strength to test how hard the stone pillar was with the extreme emperor weapon in his hand. but now, he had to consider the problem of his slowed recovery ability. even if he swallowed natural treasures here, his recovery would be very slow. he had to preserve his strength. qin chen continued to advance. suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind him. he had never thought that there would be other creatures in this ice cave. could it be that the other party was a human who was imprisoned here like them? qin chen closed his eyes and entered the state of union with heaven, sensing the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. as long as there was a slight change, he would be able to sense it. not long after, a black shadow flashed past behind him again. in an instant, a gust of wind blew qin chen¡¯s hair. ¡°stop!¡± qin chen roared and chased after the black shadow, advancing deeper into the ice cave. after an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped. this was because he could no longer detect the shadow though logically speaking, he was not slow. it was a pity that he could not tear through the void here. otherwise, he was confident that he could stop the black shadow. now that the other party had disappeared, no matter how he tried to sense the other party¡¯s whereabouts, he did not know where the other party had gone. ¡°where exactly is it?¡± qin chen continued to slowly search the area while moving forward. god knows where the other party would suddenly appear and ambush him in this complicated ice cave. one should know qin chen was not in an ordinary realm. he had already reached level 5 of the god emperor realm. if he was outside, he would also be considered an incredible expert. but to think he couldn¡¯t catch up to that black shadow with his current speed. that was enough to explain the problem. it was very likely that the other party¡¯s strength was far above his. perhaps the other party was a god venerable-realm expert! after this thought appeared in qin chen¡¯s mind, he couldn¡¯t dispel it. he carefully sensed his surroundings and was constantly on guard. ¡°what exactly is that black shadow?¡± qin chen held the innate sword embryo in his hand and poured his spiritual energy into the supreme heavenly origin armor. at this point, he had no choice but to waste his spiritual energy. after all, he had to protect his life. if that black shadow ambushed him, he might very well die. the supreme heavenly yuan armor could not protect him entirely, such as some of his vital parts, joints, heads, etc. once the other party caught his flaws, he might die. as he walked deeper into the ice cave, qin chen felt that the blood in his body was about to stop flowing. this place was simply not a place for humans to stay. once imprisoned here, they would die soon. moreover, the fear of dying slowly would spread throughout one¡¯s body. one would be well aware that one would die soon, but there was nothing one could do. such a feeling was even more painful than being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. most experts cherished their lives very much, having cultivated for so long and reaching such a realm. still, there was nothing they could do. at this point, there was no way to escape. qin chen could only use other methods to see if he could find a chance to survive. in his eyes, that black shadow was very likely a variable. if he could find the other party, he might be able to obtain a lot of information from the latter, such as how to resist the cold in this ice cave.. Chapter 803 - Chapter 803: Black-Robed Elder chapter 803: black-robed elder translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio as he thought of this, qin chen felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. he trembled. he did not expect the black shadow to take the initiative to attack him. shouldn¡¯t the other party wait patiently and find his flaws? fortunately, qin chen was already prepared. the minute he sensed the impending danger, he decisively roared and slashed out with his sword. the power revived from the extreme emperor weapon was extremely terrifying, and it instantly slashed at the black shadow. ¡°woo!¡± the black shadow let out a miserable cry and disappeared into the darkness. no one knew where it had gone. qin chen looked at the blood on the ground behind him and confirmed that it should be a human cultivator. however, why did the other party attack him without saying anything? ¡°is that cultivator crazy? qin chen decisively began to search for the black shadow. the other party definitely couldn¡¯t be far. after some time, he finally found the black shadow curled up in the darkness. to think the other party was hoping not to be found just by doing this¡­ he really was just playing the ostrich. the black shadow was trembling. it seemed that qin chen had already injured him with a single sword strike. however, judging from the aura on the other party¡¯s body, he should be a god venerable-realm expert. this was not logical. logically speaking, a god venerable-realm expert would not be injured so easily. qin chen walked to the black shadow and the latter slowly raised his head. it was a pale-faced old man. the old man was wearing a black robe, so he looked like a black shadow. on top of that, he was truly a god venerable-realm expert. ¡°don¡¯t come over, don¡¯t come over! please, let me go! i can¡­ i can be your slave. don¡¯t make me stay here anymore.¡± after hearing the black shadow begging for mercy, qin chen finally realized that the human elder had most likely gone crazy. a god venerable-realm expert wouldn¡¯t go crazy so easily unless his divine sense was damaged. seeing qin chen walking over, the old man didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. instead, he knelt with his head in his hands. qin chen didn¡¯t take the opportunity to kill the other party. rather, he wanted to know what had happened to him as well as try to find out how to survive in the ice cave through the old man. since the old man could survive in this ice cave, he must have his techniques. what qin chen and the others lacked was time. if they continued to drag this out, they would welcome their deaths in the ice cave. ¡°don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill¡­¡± qin chen carefully placed his hand on the old man¡¯s head, and the old man didn¡¯t resist at all. instead, he closed his eyes and was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. ¡°soul-searching technique!¡¯ qin chen immediately used a soul-searching secret technique. although this might drive the old man crazy, he could seize the other party¡¯s memories. almost instantly, the old man let out a painful roar. many memories that did not belong to qin chen appeared in his mind. he kept flipping through them and finally found the reason. the old man seemed to be an elder of a large sect. after being captured by the five-colored sky python, his divine sense was shattered. with this, the human elder would no longer be a threat. then, he was thrown into the ice cave to slowly wait for death. unexpectedly, the old man had a split soul that was very well hidden.. Chapter 804 - Chapter 804: The Passage to Leave chapter 804: the passage to leave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the split soul played a crucial role in allowing the god venerable-realm old man to figure out a way to resist the cold in the ice cave. he even found a path to the outside world. however, at the end of the path, there seemed to be some kind of great terror. in an instant, the old man¡¯s split soul dissipated and was wiped out. as a result, the old man became what qin chen saw now. qin chen¡¯s heart was filled with joy. so there really was a way out of this ice cave. ¡°ah!¡± the old man seemed to be unable to control his body and actually went berserk. then, he made many strange martial arts moves before falling to the ground with a plop and was thus dead! no matter if it was human or demon, no one could live normally after being soul-searched. at the very least, their divine sense would be damaged, and in the most serious cases, they would lose all consciousness. after the old man died, qin chen didn¡¯t stay for long. instead, he quickly left. he wanted to go back and tell everyone about the method he had just found to resist the cold in the ice cave. otherwise, it would be difficult for them to continue surviving the cold. without taking too long, qin chen returned to his original spot and found everyone. the big scorpion was the weakest among them, and he was already on the verge of breaking down. if he hadn¡¯t used the demonic energy in his body to resist the cold, he might have already turned into an ice sculpture. the true dragon and the others didn¡¯t feel good either. seeing qin chen return, their eyes suddenly bloomed with hope. to them, qin chen was the backbone of their hearts. as long as he was here, they believed that there would be no true despair. there had been so many dangers, but they still managed to survive all of them. ¡°i¡¯ve found a way to leave this place.¡± upon hearing qin chen¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with ecstasy. to think the elder king could find a way to escape! they thought that they would all die in this ice cave. ¡°everyone, listen to me first. stop all your spiritual energy on the surface of your body and try to wrap your body with spiritual energy.¡± the minor circulation of spiritual energy was actually a basic cultivation technique all cultivators would practice in the beginning. even demons could perform the minor circulation of spiritual energy. hearing qin chen¡¯s words, everyone quickly followed his instructions. ¡°what¡¯s going on? why don¡¯t i feel cold anymore?¡± ¡®elder king, is this a way to resist the cold in the ice cave? qin chen smiled and nodded. if he hadn¡¯t met the black shadow, he wouldn¡¯t have thought of using such a simple method to resist the cold. the ice cave was very strange. god knows what kind of phenomenon caused this strange and incomparably cold, but it seemed to be able to freeze a cultivator to death. ¡°yay! we don¡¯t have to die here! just wait and see, i¡¯ll come back and twist off the head of that five-colored sky python after cultivating for three to five years outside!¡± the flame-wing beast was incomparably excited, as well as extremely vengeful. following qin chen¡¯s order, everyone followed him into the depths of the ice cave. there were many forks, which seemed to be divided into countless karst caves. qin chen followed the path that the human god venerable-realm elder had figured out and led everyone around. soon, he stopped. everyone immediately took a defensive stance. unexpectedly, they saw an exit that was as tall as a person in front of them. ¡°can we escape so easily?¡± Chapter 805 - Chapter 805: An Ethereal Figure chapter 805: an ethereal figure translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen shook his head and said to everyone, ¡°it¡¯s not that simple. it seems that there¡¯s a terrifying existence at the end of the exit.¡± he told everyone about the encounter with the god venerable-realm old man. everyone¡¯s eyes widened. they did not expect that a god venerable-realm expert¡¯s divine sense would be destroyed with just a glance at the door. it was simply inconceivable. ¡°if we want to get out, we have to be prepared to die here. i don¡¯t know what kind of danger lies ahead.¡± qin chen wasn¡¯t confident that he could survive either. an existence that could instantaneously annihilate the divine sense of a god venerable-realm expert was something that none of them could withstand. after all, none of them had advanced to the god venerable realm yet. ¡®elder king, we¡¯ve long since disregarded life and death. if it weren¡¯t for you, we wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to take a gamble.¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. the path of cultivation is to defy the heavens and change one¡¯s fate. on the great path, life or death is just in an instant. we¡¯ve already thought it through!¡¯ hearing everyone¡¯s words, qin chen looked sideways slightly. since everyone was prepared, he would not wait any longer. if they dragged on, it would only be increasingly disadvantageous to them since their spiritual energy consumption would increase. qin chen took a step forward, and everyone followed closely. a faint light shone from the exit ahead. there would surely be endless danger ahead. thinking of this, qin chen led everyone to prepare for a great battle at any time. they slowly advanced. at this point, the coldness of the ice cave became extremely terrifying as if it had intensified by a hundred times. this made qin chen and the others feel somewhat overwhelmed. ¡°let¡¯s rush over directly!¡± qin chen gritted his teeth and moved forward at full speed. the supreme heavenly origin armor on his body flickered with light as he activated it with all his might while holding the innate sword embryo and charging ahead. everyone also unleashed their maximum speed. at worst, they would die. they would just start over! just then, a figure seemed to have appeared at the exit at the end of the road. the figure threw out a spear. before everyone had yet to react, they saw a rotten spear come straight at them. qin chen roared in rage. he instantly infused all his strength into the supreme heavenly origin armor, blocking the spear! then, he abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. the long spear was indeed blocked and did not pierce through supreme heavenly origin armor at all, but he noticed that a bloody hole had appeared in his chest! ¡°how terrifying!¡¯ qin chen¡¯s figure fell to the ground. he kept swallowing natural resources and began to refine them to recover from his injuries. fortunately, the bloody hole was not in his heart, so it did not endanger his life. if the spear had hit his heart, it would have truly taken qin chen¡¯s life. after injuring qin chen, the rotten spear flew back and landed in the hands of the figure. at this moment, everyone noticed that the figure was illusory. it did not seem to be a physical entity. ¡°even the elder king almost died under that attack!¡± one had to know that the treasured armor on the elder king¡¯s body had an extremely monstrous defensive power. even a half-step quasi-emperor couldn¡¯t cause such serious injuries. the illusory figure¡¯s gaze fell on them, and they felt a chill run down their spines. if they did not know better, they would have thought that they were already on the verge of death. they did not doubt that the next time that figure attacked, one of them would die. ¡®everyone, be careful!¡± the figure raised its arm, and the spear instantly shot out like a dragon! Chapter 806 - Chapter 806: Dead? chapter 806: dead? translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the terrifying figure¡¯s attack made everyone feel great pressure. the other party could already be considered a half-step quasi-emperor, given its terrifying methods. so this was why the five-colored sky python was so assured that no one would escape from the ice cave. after all, anyone who wanted to escape would be killed here. qin chen gripped the innate sword embryo, his heart beating violently. he took a deep breath and made his final decision. he poured all his spiritual energy into supreme heavenly origin armor, wanting to use this to resist another attack from the figure. with a loud bang, the beam of light struck qin chen¡¯s body, sending him flying for who knows how many thousand miles. his body was stuck in the stone wall of the ice cave. then, the rusty spear flew back into the figure¡¯s hand. qin chen felt the world spin. he almost couldn¡¯t catch his breath. ¡°hurry up! save the elder king!¡± the true dragon roared and led everyone to quickly do whatever they could. seeing that the figure was about to attack again, they scrambled to try and stop it. otherwise, if the other party was allowed to attack again, qin chen might die immediately. in an instant, everyone unleashed all their strength. no one held back. the figure was still blurry and could not be seen clearly. it was as if it did not belong to this spacetime and existed in another place. its next attack shattered the void and descended with a terrifying pressure, actually more powerful than the previous attack. it was obvious that the figure was starting to take them seriously. ¡°shit!¡± the flame-wing beast spat out a mouthful of blood and its arms were almost crippled. everyone felt as if they were about to die at that moment. they were all sent flying and fell to the ground. at this point, they were all heavily injured and on the verge of death. any ordinary cultivator or demon could take their lives. it was impossible for them to block the next attack. qin chen panted heavily. with great difficulty, he finally regained a bit of consciousness. he staggered out of the wall as if he was about to fall at any moment. he put in great effort and ultimately managed to stand firm with the help of the innate sword embryo. then, he saw that the figure seemed to have locked onto him as the latter raised the decayed spear again. the figure threw the spear at him! this time, there seemed to be no fluctuations in the surroundings. only qin chen felt an intense killing intent that was targeted at him. now, he had no way to retreat. even if qin chen was at his peak, he couldn¡¯t avoid this attack. it seemed that his death was destined. following this, everyone saw that qin chen, who was originally standing, seemed to have been deprived of his vitality. he simply stood still on the spot, allowing the spear to pierce through his chest. after the spear pierced qin chen, it dissipated. unexpectedly, the supreme heavenly origin armor¡¯s defense was not triggered. it was as if the spear that they had seen piercing through the elder king was fake. then, the figure waved its hand and qin chen actually walked over slowly step by step. ¡°this¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°could it be that the elder king has already¡­?¡± everyone felt as if their spines had been broken, and the last trace of hope in their hearts was shattered. if the elder king was still alive, they might have a chance to turn the tables. unfortunately, the figure used only three shots to kill the elder king. the elder king¡¯s eyes were wide open, without the liveliness of a living person. he walked toward the figure mechanically.. Chapter 807 - Chapter 807: A Wisp of Consciousness chapter 807: a wisp of consciousness translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio they were unable to stop qin chen and could only watch helplessly as he stood in front of the figure. the figure seemed to have disappeared at this moment. in the meantime, qin chen¡¯s figure fell straight down, smashing onto the ground. ¡°elder king!¡± the big scorpion struggled to stand up. he wanted to rush over and snatch back the elder king¡¯s body, but he was pushed to the ground by the true dragon. ¡°are you crazy? if you go over, that figure will likely appear again. at that time, you will be dying for nothing.¡± ¡°i only want to avenge the elder king!¡± ¡°if the elder king was still alive, he would surely be furious. if you give up your life just like that, wouldn¡¯t it make the elder king feel even more that his death was not worth it?¡± the big scorpion cried bitterly and his body trembled continuously. the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others were also in great grief. when qin chen woke up again, he was shocked to find that he only had a wisp of consciousness left. he couldn¡¯t return to his own body. at the very least, he couldn¡¯t do so now. he couldn¡¯t even communicate with the others. seeing that they were in great grief, he could only think of a countermeasure. what should he do to recover his mobility now? for some reason, this ice cave protected a wisp of his consciousness and prevent it from dissipating. at this moment, qin chen suddenly thought of the human elder he had seen before. the other party only seemed to have a physical body left, and his primordial spirit had been destroyed. as long as he could successfully enter and possess the old man¡¯s body, he would be able to regain his mobility! moreover, the other party¡¯s body was in the god venerable realm. if he could control it, he would be even stronger than he was now. even now qin chen maintained a deep fear of that figure. to think that last spear strike had shattered his soul. if it wasn¡¯t for qin chen¡¯s powerful soul, he might have already died. many of his magic items were still on his body. in other words, he was in great danger now. fortunately, there were no other creatures in the entire ice cave except for them. it didn¡¯t take long for qin chen¡¯s consciousness to find the human elder based on his previous memories. he carefully infiltrated his consciousness into the body but did not encounter any obstruction. instead, it went extremely smoothly. this was because this body had long since become ownerless. even talking with this body was very easy for qin chen. although there were still some fragments of the old man¡¯s primordial spirit in his body, they were no longer a threat to him. qin chen simply devoured them all, strengthening his consciousness. qin chen hadn¡¯t expected to recover so quickly. with this, his primordial spirit had finally recovered to half of the previous state, and he had saved his life. after a few days, qin chen finally refined this body. he had to admit that this old man¡¯s body was extremely powerful. what shocked him the most was that this old man was a body refiner. when qin chen unleashed his strength, he could feel that the pressure of his blood energy was like a great mountain or a vast ocean. it was as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened. at the same time, everyone sensed a special fluctuation, and their eyes widened. they felt quite hopeless. ¡°it¡¯s over. it seems that there are other terrifying existences in this ice cave.¡± soon qin chen increased his control over the body.. Chapter 808 - Chapter 808: Possess chapter 808: possess translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio when the human elder opened his eyes again, a hint of liveliness that belonged to a living person appeared in his eyes. now, this body belonged to qin chen. he slowly took a step forward and almost fell. after familiarizing himself with this new body, he coughed and the sound was his own. ¡°no wonder the old man didn¡¯t have much time left.¡¯ even if the other party wasn¡¯t killed, his lifespan would¡¯ve been exhausted. qin chen searched for the others while silently feeling the power of this body and discovering its potential. even if he couldn¡¯t recover the peak venerable strength of this body, it could at least help him take back his own body. after some time, qin chen finally caught traces of the others in the surroundings. there were no other living beings in the entire ice cave other than them, so it was very easy to find them. ¡°who is it?¡± the true dragon roared. at this moment, none of them had yet to walk out of the grief of the elder king¡¯s death. the true dragon transformed into its original body, but after staying in the ice cave for these few days, its spiritual energy circulation was slow. in fact, it did not even have half of its original combat strength now. when the true dragon saw the figure of an old man appear, it was extremely shocked. didn¡¯t the elder king say that the old man was already dead? could it be that even the elder king was deceived? however, right now, they were already prey for the other party. the human elder would probably be able to kill them with a soft blow. everyone quickly prepared themselves for a life-and-death battle. even if they were to die, they could not just sit and wait for death. as the old man¡¯s figure gradually approached, they began to panic. the other party¡¯s strength was clearly in the god venerable realm. it was simply too easy for the other party to take them down. ¡°what do you want?¡± as the true dragon spoke, it racked its brain for a countermeasure. their chances of escaping now were less than 30%. ¡°it¡¯s me.¡± with just two short words, everyone was stunned on the spot. they had seen the elder king being killed by that mysterious figure with their own eyes. his corpse was still lying there. ¡°elder king, are you still alive?¡± the big scorpion stuttered. ¡°do you want me to die?¡± qin chen coughed. he knew that this body couldn¡¯t last for too long, so he quickly explained the situation to everyone. everyone nodded and understood the cause and effect. they knew that the elder king would not die so easily. the most important thing now was to seize qin chen¡¯s body and think about how to fight against that terrifying figure. qin chen and the others had no idea what that figure was. why was it guarding there? was it guarding something? thinking of this, qin chen recalled everything he had seen in the ice cave. there was a huge stone pillar in the ice cave. inexplicably, qin chen walked back to the stone pillar. when he saw it again, he found that there was something inside! if he hadn¡¯t possessed the old man¡¯s body, he wouldn¡¯t have noticed the difference in the stone pillar. he quickly walked to the stone pillar. ¡°there seems to be something inside?¡± qin chen slowly walked close, then punched the stone pillar. the power of that punch shocked everyone.. it actually smashed a big hole in the stone pillar! Chapter 809 - Chapter 809: Heavenly God Emperor Pillar chapter 809: heavenly god emperor pillar translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio there seemed to be a bone inside the stone pillar. the bone was emitting a powerful aura that shook people¡¯s hearts. god knows what kind of creature the bone was from, but just the aura it emitted made everyone feel extremely cold as if they were about to be half-frozen. in an instant, qin chen was almost frozen into an ice sculpture. he thought to himself, ¡°it can¡¯t be that the origin of the entire ice cave is this bone, right?¡± the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding, dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] qin chen didn¡¯t expect there to be a powerful divinity remnant in this place. he hadn¡¯t discovered it before he quickly said in his heart, ¡°check in!¡± soon, an oil lamp appeared in qin chen¡¯s hands. the oil lamp emitted a terrifying aura that actually devoured all the ice power on the bone. god knows what the origin of this oil lamp was, but it made qin chen feel uneasy. it was as if just holding it could bring about a huge hidden danger. [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in at the traces of the celestial realm. you have received the reward, heavenly god emperor lamp!] [heavenly god emperor lamp: a lamp that once fell into the mortal world from the celestial realm. it is said to have the power to reach the heavens and the earth. however, its flames were extinguished by a terrifying existence, and its power was greatly reduced. now, it no longer has much power. still, it can kill a quasi-emperor.] what the hell? to think he had obtained a treasure from the celestial realm! one had to know that not many things would fall from the celestial realm into the mortal world. just a random item from the celestial realm would probably cause others to fight for it. it seemed that the celestial realm treasure in qin chen¡¯s hand didn¡¯t have much power left. that being said, if it could kill quasi-emperors, it should be able to get rid of the illusory figure. then, they could escape. everyone was shocked to discover the sudden appearance of a lamp in qin chen¡¯s hands. the lamp looked very strange. it didn¡¯t look ordinary. moreover, the pressure it brought was extremely terrifying, almost making it difficult for everyone to breathe. they had never seen such a terrifying lamp before. god knows where the elder king had obtained it. if the elder king had taken it out earlier, that terrifying figure would not have been able to kill him. hope was ignited in everyone¡¯s hearts. with this, they would have a chance to escape from the ice cave. now, qin chen was prepared. he wanted to bring everyone back and give it a try. he wanted to see if the heavenly god emperor lamp in his hand could block the illusory figure. at the same time, qin chen also wanted to seize this opportunity to snatch his body back. his soul had almost recovered and was no longer as weak as before. there were still many treasures on his body. he couldn¡¯t just leave it there. thinking of this, qin chen brought the others back to the place where they had almost lost their lives. stepping into this place once again, qin chen no longer had any fear in his heart. instead, he became more composed. however, qin chen didn¡¯t plan to use this body to try again.. Chapter 810 - Chapter 810: Change in the Ice Cave chapter 810: change in the ice cave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was extremely apprehensive and unsure if he could take back his body. as he continued forward, he once again saw the illusory figure appear at the end of the tunnel. it was as if it had never left and had always been there. it seemed to have stood alone for countless years. unfortunately, qin chen had to destroy it now. otherwise, he couldn¡¯t escape with everyone. right at this moment, the illusory figure once again raised the decayed spear in his hand and pointed it at qin chen. qin chen instantly felt as if his heart was being grabbed. this fear came from his primordial spirit, and it was a suppression at the soul level. his primordial spirit could not withstand a casual attack from the illusory figure at all. but now, qin chen had a magic item that could contend against the figure. he could only place his hopes on the heavenly god emperor lamp. with that, he revived the heavenly god emperor lamp. in an instant, endless terror appeared. this was the power of an even more powerful world. as soon as it appeared, the ice cave began to tremble. outside the ice cave, on the high mountain in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, even the five-colored sky python was shocked. she could not figure out what was going on. to think some kind of change had happened to her ice cave. she had discovered the ice cave by chance and usually used it to imprison some human captives. it seemed that some kind of change had happened there. she quickly came to the entrance of the ice cave and opened the huge rock. then, her cultivation was instantly suppressed. there seemed to be a terrifying existence in the depths of the ice cave. she had once wanted to explore it, but she didn¡¯t because she had not made up her mind to do so. this was because the five-colored heavenly python felt a huge risk and that she might die there, which was why she had not taken a step forward. at this point, the heavenly god emperor lamp in qin chen¡¯s hand had already erupted with unrivaled power. the illusory figure seemed to have become even more blurry but it still didn¡¯t give up on killing qin chen. the rotten spear was raised once again, causing time to stop. then, it was suddenly thrown out, passing through space and arriving in front of qin chen! in response, qin chen threw out the heavenly god emperor lamp. in an instant, the lamp spewed out terrifying ice, freezing the decayed spear and shattering it into countless ice crystals that fell to the ground. this was a situation that qin chen had not expected. to think the decayed spear was destroyed. however, another decayed spear appeared in the figure¡¯s hand again. could it be that the heavenly god emperor lamp had just stopped an illusion? no, that spear should be a product between illusion and reality. the ice could only fight against the power of the material aspect, so it could not freeze the decayed spear. it only helped qin chen block the attack just now. now, the spear had returned to the figure¡¯s hand. it threw its spear at qin chen once again. this time, it seemed that the heavenly god emperor lamp wouldn¡¯t unleash any ice, causing qin chen to feel great pressure. the ice released by the heavenly god emperor lamp should be the ice on the bone. god knows if it would work if he wanted to resist the incoming spear again. everyone¡¯s heart was beating uneasily. they were extremely worried about qin chen.. Chapter 811 - Chapter 811: Dual-Pupils Are Invincible chapter 811: dual-pupils are invincible translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the heavenly god emperor lamp began to burn. the flickering flames on its wick slowly turned into a blazing flame that enveloped the decaying spear and burned it to ashes! if that figure¡¯s spear shot over again and hit his primordial spirit, there might not be any chance of survival this time. fortunately, the spear did not appear once again in the illusory figure¡¯s hand. it should have been completely destroyed. one had to know that the lamp was a magic item from the celestial realm. he did not expect that the illusory figure could withstand the heavenly god emperor lamp for so long. qin chen couldn¡¯t help but become even more solemn. he could imagine that if the illusory figure¡¯s true body was here, the situation might have been reversed. qin chen had a vague guess that the illusory figure was probably a shadow left behind by an ancient great emperor. only such an existence could make them feel such a terrifying fear. and now, that illusory figure attacked once again. it rushed toward qin chen. qin chen continued using the heavenly god emperor lamp, pushing it to its limit. in an instant, he blocked the illusory figure. at this moment, he finally saw what the figure looked like. he gasped. in the legends, people with polycoria had great luck. in every era, there was bound to be one or two heaven-defying existences that had smooth cultivation paths. they were those who might be able to seize the opportunity to become a great emperor and step into the great emperor realm. to think the illusory figure that qin chen and the others were facing now was someone with polycoria! ¡°no wonder he is so powerful.¡± at this point, qin chen could tell that this was the shadow that had been left behind by a great emperor back when he was still in the quasi-emperor realm. even though it had been a long time, it still carried a terrifying power. with just a glance, the figure could destroy the primordial spirit of a god venerable-realm expert. thinking of this, qin chen said to everyone, ¡°everyone, stand back. otherwise, it¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll encounter an accident.¡± even he wasn¡¯t sure if the heavenly god emperor lamp in his hand could withstand this terrifying man with polycoria. god knows if this figure had other trump cards that he had not used. just this figure alone was enough to resist a magic item left behind by the celestial realm. one could imagine how great the pressure would be if qin chen encountered such an existence on the road to becoming a great emperor in this era. a few sparks came from the heavenly god emperor lamp and turned into a huge sea of fire that swept towards the figure. everywhere it went, the void was burned inch by inch, turning into a chaotic blankness! even a quasi-emperor would be burned to death by the flames, to the point that even his primordial spirit wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. he wondered if the man with polycoria had any way to resist this terrifying flame. since the terrifying flame came from the magic item of the celestial realm, it was probably extraordinary. however, the figure of the man with polycoria did not seem to exist in reality. this made qin chen worried. could the flames burn him to death? the huge sea of fire engulfed the figure of the man with polycoria. unfortunately, the man with polycoria did not seem to be stopped. instead, he continued to advance. after a while, qin chen finally saw a turning point. the man with polycoria seemed to have slowed down. if this continued, the other party might be trapped before he could reach him.. Chapter 812 - Chapter 812: Leave chapter 812: leave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the terrifying flames continued to burn the body of the man with polycoria. as the fire burned, even the space in that area was slowly collapsing. the man with polycoria seemed to be threatened, and there was a possibility that he would be sucked into the chaos once the void shattered at any time. after some time, qin chen saw that the man with polycoria used a different type of rule. the latter simply punched out and broke open a hole in the sea of fire! right now, qin chen¡¯s main goal was to take back his body. he quickly went around the side and ran towards his body. qin chen¡¯s body was still lying on the ground. soon, he came to the side and propped his body up. then, his primordial spirit came out of the elder¡¯s body and returned to his physical body. not long after, qin chen finally opened his eyes. ¡°it¡¯s great to regain control of my body,¡± he could not help but sigh silently. at this moment, the figure of the man with polycoria was locked in a stalemate with the heavenly god emperor lamp. qin chen didn¡¯t know when the fight between the two would end, but he didn¡¯t feel any pressure at all. after all, he had supreme heavenly origin armor. as long as the figure of the man with polycoria could not use that rotten spear, he should not pose any other threat to him. after an unknown amount of time, qin chen finally saw that half of the terrifying figure had been burned, and the other half of his body was on the verge of collapse. he should not be able to hold on for too long. at this moment, the heavenly god emperor lamp was also almost exhausted. god knows if it could last until the moment when the figure of the man with polycoria was destroyed. thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared in qin chen¡¯s heart. however, there was nothing he could do to help now. his attacks could not hurt the man with polycoria at all since the latter did not belong to this world or this space. no real attack could hurt the other party. no medium could touch this terrifying existence. as for why this man with polycoria would appear here, it should be to protect that bone. the bone could release a terrifying power of ice. it was not something that ordinary people could control. if it was used by someone with ulterior motives and turned into some kind of weapon or magic item, it might bring disaster to the common people. even a quasi-emperor might not be able to resist it. qin chen had another guess. could that bone have fallen from the celestial realm as well? could it be that countless years ago, there was a passageway connecting the celestial realm to their world? either way, no matter how much he thought about it now, it was useless. qin chen could only silently watch the figure with polycoria fight against the heavenly god emperor lamp. after god knows how long, only then did qin chen realize that the terrifying figure had finally been destroyed, leaving nothing behind. it was as if a thousand-pound stone had been lifted off his heart. he slowly took the heavenly god emperor lamp back into his hand. it was a pity that the power of the heavenly god emperor¡¯s lamp had been exhausted, and it had become an ordinary oil lamp. he could not feel any power from it. with a light squeeze, the oil lamp was crushed into powder. everyone looked at the passage that was no longer obstructed and was incomparably excited. as long as they could pass through the passage, they would be able to escape! the five-colored sky python probably never expected them to escape alive. qin chen then smiled and said, ¡°let¡¯s go. we can leave this damn place now.¡± after saying that, he led everyone onto the passageway. after walking for some time, they finally walked out of the ice cave. the moment they left the tunnel, the cave collapsed.. Chapter 813 - Chapter 813: Search! chapter 813: search! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after they left, the five-colored sky python instantly felt that something was wrong. she found that her ice cave had been destroyed and she had no idea what had happened inside. she wanted to see if the corpses of qin chen and the others were in the cave. if such a terrifying change was caused by them, it was very likely that they were still alive. to think they had caused such a huge change. countless cracks had appeared on the entire mountain, almost destroying it. such a huge change naturally alarmed many demons. if not for the five-colored sky python being a quasi-emperor, some demons might have come to take advantage of the situation under the pretense of providing help. this was not a joke. it was a fact that the demons in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground were not on good terms. even without humans, the demons would still fall into internal strife and be weakened for no useful reason. this was a very important reason why the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground had fallen to its current state. after qin chen and the others escaped from the ice cave, they immediately left the mountain. the five-colored sky python would not let them off, so they had to escape as soon as possible. otherwise, if the other party came to her senses, they might not be able to escape. if qin chen still had the heavenly god emperor lamp, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid of the five-colored sky python. he was even confident that he could kill the latter. unfortunately, that was not the case now. the heavenly god emperor lamp had already been consumed in the battle just now. if they encountered the five-colored sky python, qin chen would have to think of another way. ¡°let¡¯s leave quickly. we can¡¯t stay here.¡± even without qin chen saying anything, everyone would have done the same. they didn¡¯t want to be captured again after escaping. after all, none of them could take anymore mentally. who knew if the five-colored sky python would use other methods to deal with them after they escaped from the ice cave? at the thought of this, they tore through the void and crossed it. this was the only way to escape at the fastest speed. ¡°damn it, those guys actually escaped!¡± a young woman appeared among the ruins of the ice cave. she had cleared up the ice cave¡¯s passage with a single hand, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t find the corpses of qin chen and the others. she even saw that the stone pillar had been destroyed! qin chen had even taken away the human elder¡¯s body because he had already refined it. if he could split out a primordial spirit in the future, he could use it to control the god venerable-realm body. who knows when it might come in handy? that was why he didn¡¯t abandon the body in the ice cave. the five-colored sky python ordered her demon subordinates to send a notice to the entire demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. ¡°find him!¡± she wanted to capture qin chen and the others and torture them to death with her own hands! it was because of qin chen and the others that her ice cave was destroyed. this was the place that the five-colored sky python valued the most. she even suspected that they had obtained some kind of great fortune in the ice cave. otherwise, they would not have been able to escape so quickly. qin chen and the others didn¡¯t know that other than human cultivators, even the demons were looking for them. however, since they changed their appearances, they did not attract the attention of the humans or demons they encountered. with their cultivation prowess, no one other than god venerable-realm experts dared to attack them.. Chapter 814 - Chapter 814: Half-demon Woman chapter 814: half-demon woman translator: nyoi-bostudio editor: nyoi-bo studio after qin chen and the others left the mountain, they continued forward. once they passed the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, their lives would no longer be threatened and they would be able to survive. to everyone, that was their only hope in all difficult situations. it was also the reason why, time and time again, they never gave up. after some time, they arrived outside a thatched hut that looked very ordinary. they thought some demon or human had built it here as a resting place unexpectedly, they heard a sound coming from the thatched cottage. it seemed to be some kind of powerful creature. it let out a low growl that made everyone feel as if they were about to go deaf. god knows what kind of terrifying existence was locked up in there. qin chen and the others walked towards the thatched cottage. ¡°is anyone there?¡± qin chen asked slowly. he pushed open the wooden door, but to his surprise, the door simply let out a loud bang and fall to the ground. it seemed that due to years of disrepair, it had long become broken. at this point, they could finally see the interior of the thatched hut. a woman with two ears had been tied up in there. someone had deliberately imprisoned her here. she kept letting out low roars. judging from her appearance, she seemed to be a half-demon. half-demons were hybrids of humans and demons. she seemed to be unable to speak the human language. qin chen and the others wanted to set her free, but they did not expect her to resist violently. she kept bumping into the straw hut. ¡°this¡­¡± what qin chen and the others did not expect was that the outside of the thatched hut changed while they were inside. it turned into a dark starry sky that made people feel depressed. what was with this pitch-black starry sky? qin chen and the others had a bad feeling. anything could exist in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. if they had known earlier, they wouldn¡¯t have come. unfortunately, curiosity killed the cat. at this point, they could only take it one step at a time. the current outside world seemed to be different from the one they had been in before they entered the hut. in other words, the moment they stepped into the thatched hut, their original locations had already changed. the hut was like a passageway that brought them somewhere else. under the pitch-black starry sky, qin chen and the others could smell blood. it seemed like some kind of creature had died. ¡°it¡¯s the smell of death.¡± no one knew what this place was. the half-demon woman seemed to have gone mad as she tried her best to break free from the restraints. it was as if something that made her uneasy was approaching. qin chen didn¡¯t say anything more. he took out his innate sword embryo and slashed out two sword lights that landed on the chains subduing the half-demon woman. with that, he rescued the half-demon woman. before qin chen and the others could react, the half-demon woman left. it was as if she felt that there was some other danger if she continued to stay in the hut. of course, it was also possible that she was afraid of qin chen and the others. after all, she didn¡¯t even know how to speak human language, so she naturally didn¡¯t have the ability to think. perhaps she was simply afraid that they would harm her. after some time, qin chen and the others discovered that some kind of strange energy had started emerging from their surroundings. the energy was slowly approaching them, seemingly wanting to devour the thatched cottage. seeing that things were not looking good, qin chen hurriedly roared and led everyone to escape. unfortunately, even if they tore through the void, they were still trapped in the thatched cottage.. Chapter 815 - Chapter 815: The Thatched Cottage chapter 815: the thatched cottage translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: noi-bo studio ¡°what the hell is this place? hurry up and let me out,¡± the big scorpion cursed. they couldn¡¯t do anything to help the elder king in the face of danger, so if they could avoid a crisis, they would. they couldn¡¯t let the elder king take the risk every time, right? however, this thatched cottage seemed to contain some kind of trapping characteristic. when qin chen and the others wanted to leave, it was already impossible. the ground emitted a weak light, and an invisible wall appeared in front of everyone. the radius within a thousand miles of the thatched cottage was covered by the barrier. they could not escape at all. they could only watch as the pitch-black starry sky approached. qin chen had an answer in his heart. this damned place might have been created by an expert who was extremely proficient in space. since they could enter this world through the thatched cottage, they were probably no longer in their original cosmic. instead, they had been brought to a strange place. there was still spiritual energy here though very thin. as such, even if they wanted to devour the spiritual energy to restore their strength, it would be very difficult. if an ordinary cultivator entered this damn place, they might not be able to escape at all. this was a place like the dharma-ending age. thinking of this, qin chen gripped the innate sword embryo and began to look for a way out. he couldn¡¯t possibly let everyone just wait here. god knows what would happen next. if they had known earlier, they would have stopped that woman just now. she should have some understanding of the situation here. unfortunately, the half-demon woman had long since hidden somewhere. in any case, she should have left the vicinity of the thatched cottage qin chen didn¡¯t know what he should do now. if they wanted to go back, they would have to rely on this thatched cottage. but doing so might put them in even more danger. the half-demon woman must have known something when she escaped. otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been so decisive. what would happen if they stayed in the thatched cottage? qin chen couldn¡¯t help but wonder. logically speaking, they were now relatively powerful cultivators. even in the major sects and factions, they would still be respected by others. and now, who knew if some terrifying creatures existed in the pitch-black starry sky and would bring endless danger? the only thing they could do now was to be careful. perhaps then they could survive and return to that world. it was not that no one had entered this place before, but unfortunately, the numbers were few. once they got out, those people described how strange the pitch-black starry sky was. it was said that this was an ancient battlefield and countless experts had died here. after their deaths, their resentment did not dissipate. as a result, they turned into terrifying existences to attack those who entered by mistake. however, qin chen and the others did not know about this. now, there was nothing qin chen could do even if he wanted to leave. he scanned the surroundings and found that there was no danger, so he sent a voice transmission to everyone, asking them to hurry over. otherwise, they might not be able to leave the thatched cottage. soon, everyone arrived in front of the barrier. as qin chen punched out, the barrier instantly shattered into pieces. the terrifying scene shocked everyone. they had never thought that the elder king¡¯s strength had improved again. after qin chen refined the corpse of the human elder, he had been somewhat enlightened, allowing him to control his strength more skillfully.. Chapter 816 - Chapter 816: Another Starry Sky chapter 816: another starry sky translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: noi-bo studio ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± qin chen roared. he then led everyone away. if they didn¡¯t hurry, who knew what terrifying things would happen? who had imprisoned that half-demon woman in the thatched cottage? qin chen was quite puzzled. presumably, only the owner of the thatched cottage could do it. after they left, the pitch-black starry sky spread over and eventually devoured the thatched cottage bit by bit. god knows if there were any terrifying creatures wandering inside. after qin chen and the others left, they arrived somewhere else. it was only now that they had the time to start sizing the new surroundings up. what kind of place were they in? this pitch-black starry sky had spiritual energy too, though relatively thin. it was just as qin chen and the others had thought. if they wanted to go back to where they had come from, they could only go through that thatched cottage. however, now that the thatched cottage had been devoured, they could not find a way back any time soon. as such, they could only carefully find a way somewhere else. qin chen shifted his gaze to the distance. in his opinion, that half-demon girl must know something and should not have escaped far. if he was lucky, he should be able to find her. as long as he could find her, the mystery would be solved. qin chen would not hesitate to use the soul-searching technique. he had to know what the half-demon girl had experienced. thinking of this, he led everyone to search the area. ordinary meteorites around them inadvertently brushed past them. under the pitch-black starry sky, countless murderous intents seemed to be targeting them. the only way to survive was to find the half-demon girl. qin chen didn¡¯t know how long he had walked for. the people behind him didn¡¯t feel the passage of time either. it could only be said that the influence of time on this world was very weak. qin chen was slightly shocked. could it be that as long as one didn¡¯t die, one could survive forever here? he had never thought of this possibility, but it also represented the danger they were about to encounter was extremely terrifying. after walking for god knows how long, qin chen and the others finally saw some trees on a desolate planet. when they arrived on the planet, they saw a strange-looking huge tree. unfortunately, the tree seemed to have died a long time ago. it had actually turned this planet into a part of itself! if this strange tree hadn¡¯t died yet, perhaps qin chen and the others would have been attacked when they got close. everyone gasped. why was this place so strange? unfortunately, there was nothing they could do but explore slowly. after all, they couldn¡¯t pierce through this pitch-black starry sky. ¡®everyone, be careful. i keep feeling that something has happened in this cosmic¡­¡± everyone understood what qin chen meant. they could tell that something must have happened here. the thatched cottage was a passageway that connected this starry sky to the cosmic they came from. god knows what the person behind all this was thinking. in the darkness, there seemed to be a vague figure. everyone was extremely vigilant, not knowing what the figure was. qin chen held the innate sword embryo and was vigilant as if he was facing a great enemy. he could sense the other party¡¯s aura, but he could not figure it out at all. he could not tell what realm the other party was at. then, the black shadow suddenly moved.. Chapter 817 - Chapter 817: Too Real chapter 817: too real translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the figure tore through the void and instantly arrived in front of everyone. his appearance was extremely ferocious, like a monster. he was clearly a human, but he was covered in eyes while he emitted an evil aura. yet, the other party seemed to be dead. qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t sense any fluctuations from him. following that, qin chen let out a furious roar and infused his spiritual energy into the innate sword embryo, reviving the extreme emperor weapon. he then slashed at the terrifying figure. however, the sword did not land on the other party. instead, it was as if it was stuck on a stone mountain. then, the surroundings changed rapidly. it was as if blood was spreading toward them as the incomparably terrifying eyes stared at them from all directions. ¡°what, what is this?¡± at this moment, the true dragon could not suppress the shock in its heart. it was unimaginable how powerful this terrifying existence was. they felt as if they had fallen into an illusion. ¡°it¡¯s an illusion!¡± only now did qin chen understand why his attack was not effective. the reason was that his attack did not even hit his opponent. the black shadow seemed to be right in front of him, but it might actually be far away. this made qin chen even more flustered. god knows how terrifying the opponent¡¯s strength was. they couldn¡¯t see through the other party at all. in an instant, the pairs of eyes on the figure¡¯s body flew open and seemed to shoot out terrifying rays that landed on everyone¡¯s hearts. they felt as if their souls were about to shatter. the fatal threat was so real that it did not seem fake at all! qin chen had, after all, experienced the edge of life and death once. as such, his primordial spirit had not completely recovered. but it also allowed him to discover something. this attack seemed to be illusory. after all, his primordial spirit was not injured. a terrifying internal aura suddenly descended on him, but qin chen dodged it and the aura smashed a huge pit in the ground. following this, qin chen could feel that his feet had been suddenly grabbed. a pair of hands had appeared from the ground and trapped him. ¡°die!¡± qin chen¡¯s sword slashed down furiously, piercing through the pair of hands! he could not imagine what kind of existence those hands were. his attack could not hit them. in the sky, a faint shadow appeared on the black flag. the shadow was incomparably huge, seemingly tens of thousands of meters tall. it had a green face and fangs, looking like a demon god that had come from hell. it pressed down on qin chen with a finger, wanting to kill him on the spot! the terrifying scene made everyone incomparably horrified. to think there was such a great danger hidden in this pitch-black space! qin chen forced himself to calm down and closed his eyes. gale was tearing the surroundings and the void was shattering. it was so real, but he felt like it was an illusion. what was real? what was fake? was everything in front of him real? qin chen stood there in a daze, allowing the finger to fall and press down on his head. no one could bear to watch such a terrifying attack. they felt that qin chen would be pressed into a pile of minced meat in the next minute. yet, the reality was not as expected. qin chen didn¡¯t die. he was still standing on the spot. it was as if everything that had just happened had never happened. ¡°is it an illusion? it¡¯s actually so real.¡± qin chen¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble. in his opinion, everything that had just happened was too unbelievable. in such a realistic illusion, no one would be able to remain calm.. Chapter 818 - Chapter 818: Illusion chapter 818: illusion translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio yet, the reality was not the same. it didn¡¯t mean that qin chen had really blocked the attack. a pair of hands reached out from behind him. sharp claws tore through the void and bombarded the supreme heavenly origin armor, seemingly wanting to dig out qin chen¡¯s heart. the sound of metal clashing rang out. the supreme heavenly origin armor on qin chen emitted a bright light, stopping the black shadow. with that, the black shadow revealed its true body behind qin chen. the black shadow knew that something was wrong and he had already revealed a flaw. at the same time, qin chen did not plan to let him off. qin chen abruptly turned his head and slashed out with his sword, cutting off one of the black shadow¡¯s arms. the arm fell to the ground and was still twisting. the eyes on it seemed to be wailing in pain. they kept writhing, a sight that made people¡¯s scalps go numb. qin chen let out a furious roar and chased after the black shadow. unfortunately, the black shadow disappeared into the void again as if it had never appeared before. the black shadow clearly couldn¡¯t withstand qin chen¡¯s attack. its true body was surely not that strong. it had simply relied on that unfathomable illusion to trap everyone. ¡°don¡¯t be afraid. that fellow is not that strong. everyone, be careful and pay attention to differentiate illusion from reality.¡± only in this way could they find an opportunity to finish off that terrifying black shadow. otherwise, it would be much more difficult to finish the other party off later on. the flame-wing beast let out an angry roar as it suddenly saw a black dragon with a rotten body coming toward it. the latter¡¯s earth-shaking aura was almost comparable to that of a quasi-emperor! the flame-wing beast was extremely shocked, but unfortunately, it could not resist. in an instant, its neck was grabbed, and he almost suffocated. at the critical moment, qin chen appeared and lightly scattered the black dragon with his palm. the flame-wing beast felt a lingering fear. it could not imagine what kind of fatal danger it had just encountered. if it had thought that it had died just now, would it have died just like that? in the past, some experts had specialized in illusions. it was said that their illusions could make their enemies unable to distinguish reality and illusions. if one died in the illusion, one would really die. ¡°be careful.¡± after saying that, qin chen turned around and continued to search for the black shadow. then, the big scorpion¡¯s chest was suddenly pierced through, and blood gushed out. he looked back and was almost frightened to death on the spot. there was no one behind him! could it be a supernatural occurrence? seeing the miserable state of the big scorpion, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled and their scalps went numb. ¡°wake up!¡¯ qin chen¡¯s furious roar exploded in the big scorpion¡¯s ears. he abruptly looked at his wound and touched it with both hands. there was actually no trace of blood. it was also an illusion just now. ¡°this is too terrifying.¡± even if an ordinary person knew that the illusion was fake, they would probably involuntarily believe that it was real. at that moment, it would be the black shadow¡¯s decision whether they would live or die. if the black shadow decided that they should be dead, they would most probably die. thinking of this, qin chen felt anxious. if he didn¡¯t find the black shadow as soon as possible, everyone would still be in danger. the arm on the ground that qin chen had just cut off was now emitting a red light. it was trying to slip away unknowingly. however, qin chen saw its movements with a single glance. he flew over and landed in front of the arm. then, he stabbed his sword into the arm, nailing it to the ground in an instant. the countless blood-red eyes on the arm stared at him. there seemed to be some kind of strange power in those eyes that could make people¡¯s hearts tremble and kill without them noticing.. Chapter 819 - Chapter 819: Soul Search chapter 819: soul search translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen let out a cold laugh. he then looked around. he didn¡¯t believe that the black shadow would retreat iust like that. as long as the other party appeared again, he would be able to find the other party¡¯s weakness and kill him. such a terrifying existence was like a poisonous snake, staring at them from the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. this concerned his life and death. qin chen could not help but treat it seriously. after some time, qin chen discovered that there seemed to be a slight aura ripple behind him. he didn¡¯t react to it and looked into the distance instead. a palm once again attacked qin chen, but this attack was an illusion. at the same time, qin chen saw a black shadow flash past not far away. presumably, the black shadow also realized that qin chen had seen through his illusion and wanted to escape. unfortunately, qin chen would not let him leave just like that. since the other party wanted to kill him, he had to leave something behind! ¡°where are you running to?¡± using the moving secret technique, qin chen was like a great roc, traveling at the fastest speed in the world and catching up to the black shadow. the black shadow¡¯s countless eyes were filled with shock. he had wanted to use an illusion to hide himself, but unfortunately, he had failed. qin chen stomped on the other party¡¯s back and pinned him to the ground. the black shadow opened his mouth and let out a sharp cry, which caused a bout of dizziness. this was probably some kind of soul attack, but it did not seem to be that great. qin chen had countless ways to resist such an underhanded method. the only thing he had to worry about was that the black shadow¡¯s illusions had already reached the point where they could pass off as real. he wondered if the other party¡¯s illusions were still infallible before quasi-emperors. thinking of this, qin chen placed many restrictions on the black shadow and broke his limbs, making it impossible for him to escape. then, he took out a rope and tied it around the black shadow¡¯s neck before tying the latter to the side of the cliff. now that the most important danger had been resolved, qin chen put away the innate sword embryo and took a closer look at the severed arm. he was not sure where the eyes on this strange black shadow came from or if they contained any terrifying danger, so he wrapped it with spiritual energy. the big scorpion rushed up and kicked the black shadow fiercely, causing the black shadow to let out a miserable cry. ¡°you bastard, how dare you sneak attack me!¡± everyone was furious, but the big scorpion knew the seriousness of the matter and did not beat the other party to death. god knows where this being came from, but if the elder king searched his soul, he should be able to obtain a lot of useful information. qin chen burned that hand into ashes with the green lotus demonic flame. under the terrifying flames, the pairs of eyes on the arm seemed to explode, and stinky juice splashed everywhere. one could not help but wonder if this thing was the embodiment of some kind of evil. qin chen then walked over to the black shadow. at this moment, the black shadow was like a dead dog. qin chen didn¡¯t show too much pity. since such a terrifying existence had grown to this stage, who knew how many innocent lives were in his hands? as such, qin chen didn¡¯t hesitate at all. soul-searching technique! suddenly, qin chen felt as if his brain was about to split open. countless pairs of eyes detached from the black shadow¡¯s primordial spirit, seemingly wanting to enter qin chen¡¯s soul. it was scalp-numbing. if those eyes really entered qin chen¡¯s body and controlled him, he would become even more terrifying than the black shadow.. Chapter 820 - Chapter 820: Evil God chapter 820: evil god translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio however, qin chen was already prepared for this. he blocked the eyes and used his spiritual energy to destroy them. qin chen looked at the black shadow that had one arm chopped off. at this point, he had gained some understanding of it. when this black shadow was born, he had been relatively normal. it was only because of a change in the cosmic that he seemed to have been invaded by some kind of power and thus became like this. he was now neither human nor a ghost. in fact, he did not even have consciousness. he had long been deprived of it. all that was left was the shell of a walking corpse. these eyes were the embodiment of that power. qin chen gave the owner of the incarnation a name, evil god. since the other party could reach such a level and influence an entire cosmic, he could already be considered a god among evil. qin chen walked away step by step. he didn¡¯t care about the death of the black shadow behind him. from the moment he used the soul-searching technique and those countless eyes were destroyed, the other party was already dead. god knows how many more creatures like this were under this pitch-black starry sky. having learned that the entire cosmic had been invaded, qin chen felt fear. the traces of the half-demon woman were in the black shadow¡¯s memories as well. he had met her not long ago. the half-demon woman seemed to be fleeing toward the north. thinking of this, qin chen led everyone over without stopping. if they wanted to return to their original cosmic, they could only find that half-demon woman. if they couldn¡¯t, they might be trapped in this destroyed cosmic. there was no order here at all. if they stayed here for a long time, they might be affected by the evil god. at that time, they might end up like the black shadow that qin chen had just killed. qin chen led everyone away, wanting to find the whereabouts of the half-demon woman. he was sure that the other party seemed to be afraid of something and was running in that direction. they might be able to find the way back if they found the half-demon woman. who knew what other strange dangers were hidden in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground? this time, qin chen and the others had only entered a thatched cottage, but they had actually been brought into this terrifying cosmic. he was a little puzzled as to why the terrifying creatures in the pitch-black starry sky did not descend into the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. could it be that someone in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was blocking the invasion of this cosmic? however, all of this had nothing to do with qin chen. he wasn¡¯t someone from the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground anyway. so what if it was destroyed? it had nothing to do with him. the key was that they needed to go back now. it was too dangerous here. at this point, qin chen and the others arrived at a valley. the ground was littered with bones that were rather strange. they were huge and seemed to be from some kind of creature they had never seen before. perhaps the original living beings in this cosmic had been infected by the evil god and mutated, which was why they left behind such strange skeletons. just like the black shadow that qin chen had killed. qin chen led everyone forward, but unexpectedly, the half-demon woman was actually right in front. ¡°how is this possible?¡± shouldn¡¯t that half-demon woman be escaping? why was she standing there motionlessly? ¡°be careful, there might be danger ahead.¡± qin chen¡¯s reminder wasn¡¯t without reason. previously, they had almost been completely wiped out by that weak black shadow who had superb illusions. the pitch-black starry sky probably contained more than one black shadow. perhaps there was even more danger ahead.. Chapter 821 - Chapter 821: Divine Ghost Mystic Heavenly Tower chapter 821: divine ghost mystic heavenly tower translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio as qin chen continued to move forward, the half-demon woman actually began to move forward slowly as well. as if she was fishing, she led qin chen and the others into the canyon. ¡°elder king, i keep feeling that something is not right.¡± no matter how stupid the big scorpion was, he knew that they were being led by the nose. god knows what they would encounter when the time came. it was very likely that a bottomless abyss was ahead. by the time they came to their senses, it would be too late. how could qin chen not know this? he knew it too, but without the help of that half-demon woman, how could they go back? as such, he continued to advance. after some time, qin chen suddenly felt a faint and powerful divinity remnant fluctuation which made him pleasantly surprised. it seemed that this cosmic also had an existence similar to the great emperors. as qin chen and the others moved further in like fish being reeled in, they discovered a huge footprint under their feet. the footprint was probably as big as a planet. the canyon they had just walked through was within this range. the closer they got to the center of the footprint, the stronger qin chen felt the fluctuations of the powerful divinity remnants. then, the system¡¯s voice sounded in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding, dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] qin chen didn¡¯t hesitate to coldly spit out two words, ¡°check in!¡± [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in at the remains of an ancient emperor. you have received the reward, divine ghost mystic heavenly tower!] [divine ghost mystic heavenly tower: a terrifying natal magic item of an ancient emperor that has supreme power and is incomparably terrifying. however, because it was invaded by a powerful evil god, it lost its strongest power. it can be used three times. after three times, it will decay and the ancient emperor¡¯s power within it will be exhausted. it can kill quasi-emperors!] an incomparably terrifying small pagoda appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. the small pagoda was simple and unadorned, and it seemed to contain the condensed power of the world. if the power was released, it would cause an incomparably terrifying destruction. with this treasure, qin chen had nothing to fear. even if other creatures might appear under the pitch-black starry sky, he would have the strength to fight. the pagoda could be used three times in total, and each time could kill a quasi-emperor. in this case, no one could stop him. god knows where the half-demon woman would lead them. qin chen kept the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower in his interspatial ring silently, then continued to follow the half-demon woman. in his opinion, the latter must have a secret, but unfortunately, he did not know it yet. after god knows how long, the half-demon woman finally stopped. qin chen and the others approached her and saw that there seemed to be many injuries on her body. they wondered what caused them. as qin chen continued to approach, the half-demon woman actually fell to the ground with a thud. he walked over to check her aura and found that she was still alive. she was just in a coma. based on the current situation, god knows when she would wake up. however, the most important thing was that qin chen felt a killing intent behind them. yet, when he turned around, he found nothing. the killing intent seemed to be targeting them from any corner. it was everywhere and they simply couldn¡¯t get rid of it.. Chapter 822 - Chapter 822: Gale chapter 822: gale translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°why do i feel that something is wrong? ¡°it¡¯s not just you. i also feel it, but i can¡¯t put a finger on it,¡± the big scorpion sighed and said slowly, ¡°i¡¯m afraid we¡¯re in danger.¡± all of them looked around, trying to see where the danger signal was. if they couldn¡¯t find it, they would have no way to deal with it since they did not even know where the danger came from. now, they had been lured into the canyon. it could be said that the person behind the scenes had achieved his goal. the half-demon woman was now unconscious, and god knows if it was because she had encountered a terrifying existence. this was very important to qin chen. if the half-demon woman died, they would probably have no way of leaving. if they continued staying under the dark starry sky, their ending would probably not be much better than those strange creatures here. after all, the evil god¡¯s devouring power would infect them. thinking of this, qin chen looked around and carried the half-demon woman before saying, ¡°let¡¯s go first. we can¡¯t stay in this place for long. let¡¯s head back the way we came.¡± just as he said this, a certain change immediately occurred in the surroundings. slowly, a strong wind started to blow. with this, everyone¡¯s vision was blurred, and they couldn¡¯t see what was happening. for some reason, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the originally calm valley. sand and stones flew, and they could not see at all. was it coming? qin chen slightly narrowed his eyes. he knew that his vision was probably useless now. as such, he could only release his spiritual perception and be vigilant of his surroundings. however, he didn¡¯t expect that his spiritual perception¡¯s range was limited. it was as if the strange wind in this canyon had the effect of blocking perception. currently, qin chen and the others were still clueless as to how they should deal with the situation now. plus, they had to bring the unconscious half-demon woman with them, which was also a burden. if she could wake up now, they might be able to get some information from her. ¡°whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!¡± the whistling wind blew through the canyon, bringing a gust of yellow sand. deep in the sandstorm, something seemed to be whimpering. it was like a living creature wailing. unfortunately, they couldn¡¯t even sense their location now. qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. it was mainly because there was nothing they could do now. the real danger, if qin chen guessed correctly, should be in that strange wind. why was there no such strong wind when they came earlier, but when they were about to retreat, it suddenly blew? there must be some kind of a mystery behind this, but the mastermind seemed unwilling to reveal itself too early. if they thought that they could trap qin chen and the others like this, then the mastermind was wrong. qin chen and the others had extraordinary strength. they had left behind their aura along the path they had traveled. as long as they followed the aura, they could leave the canyon even with their eyes closed. although the sandstorm was powerful, it could not hide the traces they had left behind. qin chen led everyone forward, not daring to relax for even a moment. at this point, he even wished that a pair of eyes would grow on the back of his head. not knowing where the danger would come from, everyone was extremely vigilant.. Chapter 823 - Chapter 823: Mummified Tiger chapter 823: mummified tiger translator: noi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio before they had gone far, qin chen suddenly saw a shadow in front of them. the shadow was as tall as a small mountain, but they were sure that they had not seen this strange thing when they came. the real body of the mountain-like shadow slowly revealed itself from the yellow sand. as qin chen expected, it was not a rock but a strange mummy! the mummy seemed to be some kind of powerful creature, like a tiger. the tiger looked as if it had been dead for countless years. what was strange about it was that it had a pair of wings. perhaps it didn¡¯t look like this and had only become like this due to the evil god¡¯s corruption. either way, it had died a long time ago and this was just its shell. even if it could still move now, it was probably only left with its bloodthirsty instinct. it should be impossible for qin chen and the others to go around it. rather, the mummified tiger might have caused the sandstorm. seeing the ferocious tiger, everyone was shocked. they did not expect the tiger to have a pair of wings. its body was as tall as a small mountain and could probably crush them into meat patties with a single claw. if they wanted to leave, they would most likely have to get rid of this tiger. otherwise, they would not be able to escape. qin chen laughed out loud. he then took out his innate sword embryo. regardless of all else, he would fight this creature first. it was not a problem for him to test the other party¡¯s strength since he had the supreme heavenly origin armor on him. even if he encountered danger and could not defeat the tiger, he could still preserve his life. if his probing result of the tiger¡¯s strength showed that the other party was not too strong, he could choose not to use the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower and save the chances. after all, the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower allowed him to kill a quasi-emperor with each usage. if he wasted an opportunity, he would suffer a great loss. qin chen threw the half-demon woman back and the big scorpion caught her. then, he used the moving secret technique and broke through layers of the void, arriving before the mummified tiger. the mummified tizer let out a furious roar. terrifvinz hot air spewed out of its mouth, carrying the smell of decay as it swung its claw! its claws were extremely sharp and reflected a black shine, seemingly poisonous. if qin chen was caught by the claw, he would suffer even if he didn¡¯t die. who knew how sharp the tiger¡¯s claws were? qin chen did have many weak points. after all, the supreme heavenly origin armor could only defend most of the surface of his body and wasn¡¯t invincible the tiger¡¯s attack was extremely swift and violent. god knows how much strength it contained. qin chen seized the opportunity and dodged to the side. in a flash, he appeared above the head of the tiger. then, he brandished the innate sword embryo and stabbed it into the tiger¡¯s eye! unfortunately, the mummified tiger was not to be trifled with. its other claw struck qin chen. if the latter insisted on stabbing down, he would be hit by that claw. seeing that his attack was not successful, qin chen immediately retreated. the mummified tiger¡¯s claws were like its arms, and it had extremely exquisite control over its strength. the moment qin chen left, it immediately stopped its attack. qin chen, who had landed on the ground, charged at the tiger once more. huge creatures like this were usually extremely slow. as long as he caught the flaw, he might be able to severely injure the mummified tiger. the mummified tiger was not to be trifled with either. it sent a tail attack toward qin chen. layers of scales protruded from its tail, and it was obvious that it was not to be provoked.. Chapter 824 - Chapter 824: Great Battle chapter 824: great battle translator: nyoi-bo studio | editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen dodged the tail attack by a hair¡¯s breadth, and the mummified tiger¡¯s tail smashed into the ground, leaving behind a huge crater! even the crowd could feel the tremors of the earth. god knows how powerful that force was. it was simply terrifying! if the mummified tiger was still alive, it probably wouldn¡¯t have such ridiculous power. perhaps this was what the evil god had brought it after corrupting it. thank god they did not encounter a creature as abnormal as the black shadow from before. it seemed that there were not many abnormal existences like the black shadow with countless eyes on its body. at the very least, their chances of surviving against the mummified tiger were much higher compared to their previous battle with the black shadow. in fact, if qin chen was willing to, he could just take out the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower and kill the mummified tiger. thinking of this, everyone¡¯s gaze gathered on qin chen. right now, qin chen¡¯s situation was not optimistic. he could only use his wits to deal with this mummified tiger, and could not face it head-on. otherwise, just one attack from the other party could lead to the possibility of losing his life. qin chen, who had walked on the edge of life and death countless times, was quite aware that he seemed to be walking on the edge of danger, but in fact, he was doing it with ease. the mummified tiger didn¡¯t seem to have much spiritual wisdom, and it didn¡¯t know how to predict and counterattack. this gave him the possibility of counterattacking. qin chen used the moving secret technique and shook off the mummified tiger in a few short moments, disappearing from its sight. when he appeared again, he descended from the sky and landed steadily on the mummified tiger¡¯s back. then, he stabbed his sword into it! unexpectedly, although the mummified tiger had died long ago, its skin was abnormally hard. he did not manage to pierce through it at all. only the tip of the sword entered the mummified tiger¡¯s skin. the mummified tiger also seemed to feel pain. in an instant, its claw struck from an unimaginable angle. it simply broke its bones and a few crisp sounds could be heard. everyone exclaimed in shock. the elder king was in danger! qin chen had never thought that the tiger would be able to counterattack. after it broke its bones, its huge arm twisted and came toward qin chen. qin chen didn¡¯t dare to take this claw head-on and immediately dodged it. before he could react, he saw the terrifying claws covering the entire body of the tiger with some kind of power. qin chen hurriedly distanced himself from the mummified tiger. in just a few breaths, the tiger¡¯s huge body was contaminated by a terrifying aura. it seemed to have turned into a black creature from hell! qin chen was greatly shocked when he saw the changes in the mummified tiger. however, he was also prepared although he didn¡¯t know what kind of danger the mummified tiger would bring. he made up his mind that even if he had to use the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower once, he had to get rid of the mummified tiger as soon as possible! with that, qin chen let out a furious roar and poured all of his spiritual power into the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower that he had just taken out. the small tower was simple and unadorned, but it seemed to contain terrifying energy that emitted shocking fluctuations! once it was revived, the tower became incomparably huge, almost a hundred times larger than its original size as it floated in the void. the mummified tiger seemed to have sensed some danger. even though its body was now covered in a mysterious black aura, it kept growling as its claws rubbed the ground in front of it. it seemed that it was preparing to turn around and escape. however, qin chen was in control of the current situation.. with a thought, a golden light burst out from the tower! Chapter 825 - Chapter 825: Underground World chapter 825: underground world translator: noi-bo studio | editor: nyoi-bo studio the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower was a natal magic item left behind by an ancient emperor, so how could it be weak? the light pierced through the mummified tiger. before the mummified tiger could even react, it quickly melted and turned into specks of starlight that scattered in the air like ashes. everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration that the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower had killed the terrifying mummified tiger with just a single strike. as expected, the elder king still had many trump cards in his hands. it seemed that they would not encounter any fatal danger soon. qin chen walked towards the mummified tiger. some kind of marks appeared on the ground after the mummified tiger died. after qin chen got close and waved his hand to disperse the sand on the ground, he realized that there was an iron plate there. he wondered what was under the iron plate. everyone slowly came over. the danger had been averted, but the half-demon woman still showed no signs of waking up. right now, qin chen¡¯s interest was completely focused on the iron plate. he put his hand on it and sensed that it seemed to be hollow below. he raised his hand, and his spiritual energy wrapped around the iron plate. with a creaking sound, it was flipped open and sent flying! there seemed to be a bigger space underground. to think the canyon below their feet was hollow. this was something that no one had imagined. ¡°what¡¯s going on?¡± the big scorpion rubbed his palms. if his speculations were correct, there might be an opportunity hidden below. after all, they were in an area of cosmic. such a hidden place with a mummified tiger guarding it must have some secrets. ¡°could it be that there¡¯s a huge opportunity down there? what should we do? elder king, should we go down and take a look?¡± previously, when they were facing that terrifying illusory figure, they had used many treasures to save their lives. as such, they currently had no treasures on them, much less any self-defense items. if they could take the opportunity to go in and get some benefits, all of them would be ecstatic. thinking of this, everyone looked at qin chen. qin chen smiled faintly. if there really was something good down there, then there was no harm in going in. ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± he gave the order and everyone followed him into the underground. the space below the canyon was very large, but it was shrouded in utter darkness, and so they could not see anything. qin chen released the green lotus demonic flame, lighting up the surroundings with flames and illuminating the underground space. this seemed to be a place where humans or demons had once lived. why did they build it underground? perhaps they wanted to resist the evil god¡¯s corrosion. after all, the evil god¡¯s corrosion was terrifying and could turn ordinary living beings into walking corpses. what qin chen and the others wanted to do now was to seize all the opportunities in this underground world. wouldn¡¯t they be hidden gems if they stayed here? no other beings would come. this cosmic could be considered to have lost its vitality. qin chen looked around, wanting to see what good things were down there. if there was anyone who could find treasures, it would be the big scorpion. he seemed to have a natural affinity for treasures. after a while, waves of exclamations sounded. the big scorpion had found quite a number of treasures, and all of them went into his pocket.. Chapter 826 - Chapter 826: The Past chapter 826: the past translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio there were still many treasures below, so everyone scattered around to search. they only picked the best and left the average ones. there were many treasures in the underground space. not only were there cultivation resources but also some cultivation techniques. unfortunately, the cultivation techniques seemed to have been stored for too long and could no longer be read due to the passage of time. with just a light touch, the books would turn into dust. qin chen led everyone to search. god knows how big the underground world was, but overall, the treasures piled up here were many. any one of them would be enough to bring about a massacre in the outside world. given the sheer number of treasures, even if they took out a small portion, it was enough to cause a bloody storm. countless cultivators would fight to the death for these treasures. now that such treasures were placed right in front of qin chen and the others, how could they not be tempted? the big scorpion did not hold back at all. while he collected the treasures, he also put some natural treasures into his mouth to refine them. although the natural treasures were well preserved, they still lost a lot of their medicinal strength. as such, no matter how much he swallowed, it would be fine. as long as he suppressed the medicinal power and slowly refined it in the future, he believed that his cultivation prowess should increase by quite a bit. ¡°why is there a corpse here?¡±qin chen walked to the back of a stone tablet and saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground. it looked like it had passed countless years ago. there was a piece of beast skin under the white bones. the beast skin was already in tatters and there were some words written on it. fortunately, qin chen could still barely understand those words. the words described the events when the evil god first invaded this cosmic. many living beings sensed it, and their quasi-emperors wanted to resist the evil god¡¯s corrosion, so they moved the entire orthodoxy underground. unfortunately, they were still unable to stop the evil god¡¯s corrosion. many disciples went crazy and died. in the end, only a few top-notch experts were left. even those top-notch experts slowly lost their rationality and their primordial spirits were devoured. they became monster-like existences. before they went utterly crazy, they consciously left the orthodoxy. in the end, the only one left was the sect leader of this orthodoxy. when the sect master felt that he was about to lose consciousness as well, he stabbed himself to death. even if he committed suicide, he would not allow himself to become a monster and be unable to rest in peace even after death. therefore, he chose to commit suicide. fortunately, he was in luck. after committing suicide, he did not attract the evil god¡¯s corruption. as time passed, he turned into a skeleton. qin chen nodded, expressing his sympathy for those people. this cosmic had been invaded by that powerful evil god. according to qin chen¡¯s calculations, the evil god was definitely stronger than a quasi-emperor. perhaps the other party even had the strength of a great emperor. only a great emperor could suppress the other party. it was a pity that after such a long time, there hadn¡¯t been another ancient great emperor. otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have allowed that evil god to spread his power and turn the cosmic into what it was today. ¡°hehehe, there are quite a lot of treasures here,¡± the big scorpion giggled. god knows how many good things he had found. even from a distance, qin chen could sense the big scorpion¡¯s high spirits. he shook his head and continued to search for the treasures left behind in this orthodoxy with everyone else. in the end, they lost count of the number of natural treasures they had collected. the amount of wealth was unimaginable. perhaps even ordinary quasi-emperors weren¡¯t as rich as they were now.. Chapter 827 - Chapter 827: Can ‘t Leave Now chapter 827: can ¡®t leave now translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio by the time qin chen and the others had collected most of the treasures they wanted, there were still countless treasures they could not take away since their storage-type magic items were limited. however, it was time to leave because qin chen noticed that the half-demon woman seemed to be waking up. ¡°i¡­ where am i?¡± after the half-demon woman said this groggily, she suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth. a cold smile appeared on qin chen¡¯s face. before this, he had thought that the half-demon woman was a lunatic who didn¡¯t know how to speak. now, he realized that she was just putting on an act. everyone gathered and sized up the half-demon woman. if they wanted to return to the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, they would probably have to go through her. otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have gone through so much trouble to find this half-demon woman. ¡°tell me, how should i leave this cosmic? as long as you say it, nothing will happen to you.¡± qin chen¡¯s meaning was quite clear. if the other party was to cooperate honestly and confess, they would be lenient. if the other party was to resist, they would be harsh on her and her outcome would surely be bad. facing such a blatant threat, the half-demon woman could only compromise. she wasn¡¯t a true lunatic, so she could naturally read the atmosphere. now, she had already fallen into the hands of qin chen and the others. she did not understand why she had been saved. logically speaking, there should have been a terrifying mummified tiger before here. could it be that the mummified tiger had already been killed by these humans? she had some guesses in her mind. then, she looked at qin chen and the others with fear in her eyes and decided that she couldn¡¯t anger them. ¡°i¡¯ll speak, i¡¯ll tell you all i know.¡± the half-demon woman told them everything she knew. to be honest, even if she refused to speak, qin chen had his ways. for example, he could search her soul and obtain all her memories. ¡°this cosmic is actually my hometown.¡± talking about her memories of the past, tears started flowing down the half-demon woman¡¯s face she said slowly with sadness, ¡°this place wasn¡¯t like this in the beginning. i¡¯m sure that all of you can guess that some powerful existence who was even more powerful than a quasi-emperor invaded this cosmic and turned this place into the current hell. i am one of the few who managed to escape because i have a powerful master. he¡¯s also human and has already reached the peak of the quasi-emperor realm. unfortunately, he was seriously injured to bring me away from this cosmic. after we arrived in another cosmic, he died within a few years.¡± ¡°later, i found out that that place was called the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. some people seemed to have come into contact with the secrets of the existence of another cosmic. they wanted to get more information from me, but i didn¡¯t tell them anything, so they tied me up. every once in a while, they would come and interrogate me. if i didn¡¯t say anything, i would be tortured.¡± at this point, the half-demon woman began to cry sadly. that thatched cottage was left behind by her master. with a thought, she could connect a passageway to this cosmic. back when she was rescued by qin chen and the others, she wanted to escape, so she couldn¡¯t help but open the passageway. qin chen and the others would not go back on their words. as long as this half-demon woman was willing to bring them back, she could live on. at that time, they would part ways. ¡°we can¡¯t leave now.¡± hearing the half-demon woman¡¯s words, the big scorpion almost fainted from anger.. his eyes turned red as he roared, ¡°why the hell is that? spit it out!¡± Chapter 828 - Chapter 828: Half a Year chapter 828: half a year translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen and the others were also puzzled. why were they suddenly unable to return? as the half-demon woman continued to speak, everyone¡¯s expressions gradually became solemn. ¡°listen to me. if we want to use the thatched cottage to go back, we¡¯ll need to wait for at least half a year. otherwise, it¡¯s impossible because the vicinity of the thatched cottage has been locked onto by the aura of the evil god in this cosmic. that place will be under the gaze of the evil god for a while!¡± qin chen raised his eyebrows. he finally understood. the reason they couldn¡¯t leave was because the thatched cottage was being targeted by the evil god. having polluted this entire cosmic, the evil god seemed to want to invade the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground next. if he succeeded, it would probably be another tragedy. countless innocent people would be sacrificed. they wouldn¡¯t even know why they died. ¡°in that case, let¡¯s wait for half a year. if you dare to do anything behind our backs within this half a year, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless.¡± the half-demon woman trembled in fear. she could feel the incomparably powerful aura coming from qin chen. his realm had probably been cultivated to an unfathomable level and his aura was deep like an abyss. just a trace of his aura was enough to make her heart tremble. although qin chen could not compare to the demons who imprisoned her, he was not far off. therefore, the half-demon nodded her head tactfully and was extremely obedient. she did not dare to do anything out of line. qin chen had only threatened her a little and the half-demon woman obediently followed him closely. it was as if she thought that she would be killed as long as she was not within his line of sight. this made qin chen relax a little. within the half-year period, everyone cultivated non-stop. they should be able to leave this damn place after half a year. after such a long time, other changes might have happened in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. during the half-year of waiting, qin chen and the others discovered some hidden dangers. the aura of the evil god in this cosmic was constantly affecting them. if this continued, they would be finished. ¡°half a year!¡¯ qin chen raised his head and looked at the pitch-black starry sky. under this starry sky, where was the evil god hiding? how powerful was he? qin chen didn¡¯t know. in his opinion, the other party must have already surpassed the quasi-emperor realm and was comparable to great emperors. in fact, even ancient great emperors might not be able to kill him in a short time. ¡°where did this come from? slowly, qin chen discovered something else. the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower in his hand seemed to be able to absorb the evil god aura from their bodies. he had discovered this by chance when he was cultivating. with this, his brows relaxed. at least for the next half a year, they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being corroded by the evil god¡¯s aura. as such, qin chen would take out the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower to help everyone absorb the evil god¡¯s aura every few days. this shocked the half-demon woman. to think there was such a heaven-defying treasure that could absorb the evil god¡¯s aura. if it was used properly, would it have been able to save some of the living beings in this cosmic back them? perhaps even her master wouldn¡¯t have died. however, she was only thinking about it. after all, the past could not be changed. the half-demon woman looked at qin chen who was walking over, wondering what he wanted to do.. Chapter 829 - Chapter 829: Ambush chapter 829: ambush translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°you¡­¡± the half-demon woman almost thought that she was going to be silenced by qin chen. she was the only one who knew how to open the passage to the thatched hut. if she died, these people would probably never be able to return. qin chen got closer and reached the half-demon woman. then, he took out the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. ¡°don¡¯t move.¡± following this, the half-demon woman watched as the terrifying small tower devoured the evil god¡¯s aura in her body. after a while, her entire body returned to normal, which shocked her. ¡°why did you save me? qin chen turned around and left without saying anything. as for the half-demon woman, she was getting increasingly confused about this human cultivator called the elder king. she had thought that he was a decisive person with a cold personality. she did not expect him to save her. after waiting for half a year, the half-demon woman said to everyone, ¡°we can leave now. the evil god isn¡¯t paying much attention to that area.¡± with that, qin chen exited his meditative state and slowly opened his eyes. he could finally leave this place, but there wasn¡¯t much joy or sorrow in his heart. after all, god knows what the demon race forbidden land had become in their half-a-year absence. if they met other human cultivators as soon as they returned, that was unlucky. if their whereabouts were exposed, the thousand yin holy sect would follow the clues and come after them. as such, qin chen was feeling apprehensive. he said to the half-demon woman, ¡°you should scout the way after we return.¡± this puzzled the half-demon woman. if she went first and didn¡¯t come back for the rest of her life, plus closed the passage, wouldn¡¯t she be able to trap qin chen and the others to death? if qin chen and the others continue cultivating here, the evil god would notice them sooner or later. however, qin chen was not worried at all. the others did not have any objections either. the half-demon woman nodded, ¡°i understand.¡± soon, they arrived at the thatched cottage. the half-demon woman entered first. after a flash of light, her figure disappeared. she returned to the normal world once again. the half-demon woman sized up the demon race¡¯s forbidden land and only returned when she found that there was no one around. when qin chen and the others returned through the thatched cottage, a few powerful aurae suddenly appeared. killing intent flashed in the eyes of qin chen and the others. they could roughly guess who it was. it was probably those demon race experts who wanted to obtain information about the other cosmic from the half-demon woman. similarly, the appearance of qin chen and the others aroused the killing intent of those demons as well. they would not let these humans spread the news. both sides were ready to attack at any moment. countless demon race experts revealed themselves from the void. their strength was much higher than the half-demon woman¡¯s, which was why she didn¡¯t notice them. she didn¡¯t mean to lure qin chen and the others back. qin chen slowly took out his innate sword embryo and pointed it at the demons. ¡°are you going to attack one by one or are all of you going to come at me at the same time? such arrogant words naturally made the demons extremely angry. this human wasn¡¯t taking them seriously! in an instant, those demons stopped talking. they tore through the void like meteors with extreme speed. however, their realms weren¡¯t too strong. the strongest experts among them who had participated in the ambush were only in the great sage realm.. Chapter 830 - Chapter 830: Black Devil Venerable chapter 830: black devil venerable translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡®elder king, why do you need to make a move? just leave it to us!¡± the big scorpion roared and charged over. he wielded his treasured saber and unleashed his demonic power, slashing at the demon race experts. the opponents were just a mob. it would only take a short while to destroy them. in an instant, the big scorpion arrived in front of a demonic bull and slashed at its neck. before the bull could react, it saw a large blade that grew larger and larger in its eyes. then, its vision began to spin, and a headless corpse fell to the ground. a huge demonic bull had lost its head, and blood was gushing out of its neck. the terrifying scene shocked all the demons present. they could not imagine that the supreme sage realm demonic bull would be killed in one move. the true dragon and the others disdained to attack. they were a whole realm higher, so these small fries were not worthy of them making a move. ¡°don¡¯t¡­ don¡¯t kill me!¡± in just a short while, those demon race experts fell one by one, leaving only a female demon kneeling and trembling. qin chen slowly walked over and placed the innate sword embryo on the female demon¡¯s neck. ¡°tell me, who¡¯s the one behind this?¡± ¡°i can¡¯t say it¡­ if i told on him, i will die.¡± the female demon race looked troubled. she could guess her fate. if she didn¡¯t say anything, she would end up like her fallen companions. ¡°if you don¡¯t say it, then prepare to travel to hell with them now.¡± after saying that, qin chen erupted with a powerful aura. the boundless pressure instantly made the female demon unable to breathe. her heart raced as she hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°i¡¯ll talk! in the desert not far from here, there is a demon venerable. he¡¯s the one who asked us to stay here and ambush you. that demon venerable is called the black demon venerable his strength is close to the quasi-emperor realm. he¡¯s not someone you can afford to offend!¡± hearing this, qin chen laughed. what bullsh*t was the black demon venerable? the other party was just a scoundrel who had not even broken through to the quasi-emperor realm. perhaps in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, he could barely be considered an expert. however, qin chen had already killed countless existences stronger than him. what was he? ¡°if you¡¯re done, then go to hell.¡± qin chen didn¡¯t hold back. he slashed out with his sword and chopped off the female demon¡¯s head. after all, if qin chen and the others weren¡¯t strong enough, they would be the ones to die. he wouldn¡¯t show any mercy to his enemies. seeing this, the rest of the people gathered around him. ¡®elder king, are we still going to advance? it was not unheard of for people to fail unexpectedly. since that demon called the black demon venerable had already learned about the news of the other cosmic, he surely wouldn¡¯t stop here. he might have other tricks up his sleeve. most importantly, there was no one among them who could suppress the black demon venerable. they did not want to see the elder king fall into a dangerous situation for them again. if they could avoid it, it was fine even if they had to spend more time. killing intent appeared in qin chen¡¯s eyes. ¡°isn¡¯t he just a demon venerable? he isn¡¯t even a quasi-emperor. what¡¯s there to be afraid of? this time, he provoked us first. if we kill him, we can eliminate future trouble too.¡± as soon as he finished speaking, qin chen led everyone forward. not far away, a desert appeared.. Chapter 831 - Chapter 831: Massacre chapter 831: massacre translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio in the middle of the desert was a tall black-robed figure. he showed a surprised expression when he sensed that all the soul slaves under him had been destroyed. ¡°who did this?¡± no one at the edge of the desert dared to be his enemy. could it be that there were other experts who had learned of the secret of the other cosmic and wanted a share of it? the black demon venerable¡¯s face was full of scars. he was only one step away from breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm. unfortunately, he simply didn¡¯t have enough opportunities. if he tried to go through the lightning trial by force, he might be torn apart by the heavenly tribulation and end up dead. some time ago, he had unintentionally discovered the existence of another cosmic. unfortunately, he had yet to find a way to enter it. the only person who knew, the half-demon woman, never spoke. if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the half-demon woman¡¯s head was protected with a restriction, he would have used the soul-searching technique to find the passage. ¡°why do i feel a little uneasy?¡± the black demon venerable muttered to himself. then, he waved his hand and said, ¡°men, go and see what happened near the thatched cottage. if anyone dares to ruin my plans. just kill them!¡± with that, a group of demon race experts left the desert in a grandiose manner, heading in the direction of qin chen and the others. qin chen had never thought that someone would send themselves to their deaths. after all, he was no longer the same as before. he no longer had to hide when he encountered a quasi-emperor. currently, with the help of the true dragon and the others, he could resist a quasi-emperor for a while. plus, he also had a trump card, the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. ¡°there are a hundred auras approaching us,¡± the true dragon suddenly said. the desert was right in front of them, so there was no need to say who was coming. they were most likely the subordinates of the black demon venerable. qin chen sneered, ¡°since those who are not afraid of death are rushing over, they might as well not leave.¡± in a short while, more than a hundred demon race auras appeared in the sky. the strongest was only at the peak of the supreme sage realm. when they saw that qin chen and the others weren¡¯t emitting any aura, the demon race experts thought that they were pushovers. ¡°the venerable should be talking about these guys. brothers, attack and chop off their heads to receive rewards!¡± following this, the vast and mighty aurae charged toward qin chen and the others. many magic items appeared in the demon race experts¡¯ hands, and their demonic powers swept across the void, causing the world to change colors. the true dragon and the flame-wing beast looked at each other and silently went up to fight. their realms had already reached level 8 of the god venerable realm. naturally, they were like wolves entering a flock of sheep. the moment they attacked, a large number of demons were either killed or injured. seeing that many of their companions had died in an instant, the remaining group of defeated demons panicked and wanted to escape. unfortunately, before they could do so, they were killed. even their primordial spirits could not escape. the ground was littered with corpses. it was almost a one-sided massacre. to qin chen and the others, such a scene was no big deal. after all, they had experienced countless life-and-death situations, so they didn¡¯t feel anything at all in their hearts. they continued to walk deeper into the desert. they¡¯d like to see how strong the black demon venerable was. even the lizard king they had encountered before did not have the black demon venerable¡¯s temper. to think the latter had sent so many demons to hunt them down. the half-demon woman, who was following qin chen and the others, was extremely excited. it seemed that these fellows weren¡¯t to be trifled with. their strength was incomparably powerful. it was naturally not difficult for them to kill the black demon venerable.. Chapter 832 - Chapter 832: Making a Move chapter 832: making a move translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the black demon venerable, who sensed that something was wrong, had a dark expression and was somewhat angry. he had sent more than a hundred men to check on the situation. among them, there was no lack of peak supreme sage-realm demon race experts. those were his capable subordinates, but now their life-and-death marks had disappeared. the only possibility that a life-and-death mark would disappear was when the one carrying the mark had lost their life. with this, he could speculate that the other party was definitely no ordinary being. still, he really couldn¡¯t think of anyone who would make things difficult for him. it might not be long before the other party came knocking on his door, which left him quite uneasy. ¡°damn it! who the hell is it?¡± the black demon venerable punched the stone table, shattering it into pieces. still, he didn¡¯t feel any regret. instead, he became even crazier. even if god came, he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave unscathed. he would risk his life to bite off a piece of the other party! with that, the black demon venerable picked up an ancient demonic magic item spear and stormed out angrily. following this, he saw a few figures appear in the sky. the fact that his subordinates weren¡¯t back was enough to explain the problem. they had most likely been dealt with by these guys. it was impossible to determine how powerful those people were based on their aurae. this did not make the black demon venerable lower his guard. since he could survive in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, he naturally understood the principle of a lion having to try its best even when capturing a rabbit. even if the other party¡¯s strength was inferior to his, he had to use his full strength to kill the other party to prevent any future troubles. ¡°who are you?¡± the black demon venerable¡¯s furious roar pierced through the sky, making ears ring. on the other side, qin chen and the others saw a magnificent palace in the desert. a man walked out of the palace. he was wearing a black robe and his aura was infinitely close to that of a quasi-emperor. ¡°elder king, that should be the black demon venerable,¡± the big scorpion grimaced. ¡°let¡¯s go meet him. let¡¯s go!¡¯ soon, qin chen and the others arrived in front of the palace. they looked at the black demon venerable without showing any emotion. the black demon venerable didn¡¯t waste any words. he immediately unleashed a wave of demonic energy toward qin chen and the others. he then leaped into the air with the ancient demonic magic item in his hand, attacking them. as expected of an expert who was infinitely close to entering the quasi-emperor realm. the moment black demon venerable attacked, everyone felt suffocated. qin chen and the others had yet to break through to the god venerable realm. naturally, they were somewhat unable to withstand the pressure. only the flame-wing beast and the true dragon had reached level 8 of the god venerable realm. however, their expressions were solemn. it was obvious that it was difficult for them to deal with the other party as well. the demonic power struck over and shattered the void. a terrifying killing intent instantly descended. qin chen and the others revealed solemn expressions. it seemed that black demon venerable was not undeserved to be able to dominate this place. ¡°attack!¡± the true dragon spat out a stream of dragon flames. in an instant, a fire dragon appeared and collided with the demonic power. at the same time, the flame-wing beast transformed back into its original form. it was incomparably huge and its sharp claws tore down at the demonic power. not far away in the sky, there was an explosion. in a cloud of dust, the black demon venerable arrived. he kicked the flame-wing beast and stabbed the ancient spear in his hand at the true dragon. ¡°i didn¡¯t expect you to be divine beasts with such noble bloodlines. i haven¡¯t provoked you, right? but since you insist on seeking death, then don¡¯t blame me!¡± he thought that the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were intentionally targeting him, but he didn¡¯t notice qin chen who was looking at him from afar. qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with endless killing intent as he stared at the other party. a small tower slowly floated in his hand.. Chapter 833 - Chapter 833: Quasi-emperor Tribulation chapter 833: quasi-emperor tribulation translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the true dragon and the flame-wing beast were no match for the black demon venerable and were sent flying in an instant. there was still a huge gap between their realms and the other partys. qin chen revealed a cold smile. his eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent. the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower in his hand was instantly activated when he injected spiritual energy into it. boundless pressure spread out and sealed the void. even quasi-emperors couldn¡¯t escape! after all, this was a supreme treasure left behind by an ancient great emperor. even if the black demon venerable had three heads and six arms and had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm, it was impossible for him to escape. the secrets of that cosmic should be buried. if anyone learned that they had broken the barrier between the cosmics, the evil god might cast his eyes on this cosmic. at that time, countless living beings would die! that would be a huge disaster that could not be reversed. qin chen would not let it happen since he had already experienced how terrifying an evil god that could destroy a cosmic was. the black demon venerable shouldn¡¯t have tried to steal power that didn¡¯t belong to him. burying this secret was the best choice. as long as no one knew how to enter that cosmic, this place was still safe for the time being. qin chen held the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. the small tower expanded and countless sparks appeared. it slowly burned and turned into a sea of fire that engulfed black demon venerable. boundless killing intent was hidden within. this flame was enough to kill any quasi-emperor. moreover, the black demon venerable hadn¡¯t broken through yet. naturally, he could only watch helplessly as he was ignited. fear appeared in black demon venerable¡¯s eyes. he couldn¡¯t understand why such a powerful expert would target him. he instantly regretted his decision. if he hadn¡¯t sent his subordinates to hunt down qin chen and the others, there might still be a chance for him to turn the situation around. but now, it was too late. he was already on the verge of death. the pain of being burned was unimaginable. his primordial spirit was also being burned bit by bit into ashes! the palace was also affected by the endless sea of fire. countless demons died tragically and instantly turned into ashes, wiped out from this world. the originally majestic palace was now only left with ruins. the black demon venerable knelt on the ground and tried his best to resist the terrifying flames, but it was useless. even the ancient demonic magic spear in his hand was burning red and began to break. the ancient demon spirit inside was also destroyed. ¡°no, i still have a chance! since you don¡¯t want to let me live, then lees die together!¡± the black demon venerable roared angrily. then, he circulated it with all his might to break through. in an instant, tribulation clouds appeared in the sky. he wanted to use the heavenly tribulation during his breakthrough to resist the terrifying flames! one had to know that the heavenly tribulation when breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm was extremely powerful. qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t help but curse in their hearts. this old thing just wouldn¡¯t rest even when he was about to die, wanting to drag them down with him. dark clouds covered the sky above them, and thunder rumbled for thousands of miles. it was as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened. qin chen quickly recalled the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. the countless flames also disappeared, giving black demon venerable a chance to catch his breath. however, before he was ready, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and landed on black demon venerable¡¯s body, severely injuring him. he spat out blood and knelt but still did not retreat. even if he wanted to take a step back now, he didn¡¯t have a chance.. the heavenly tribulation had already descended and could not be stopped! Chapter 834 - Chapter 834: Destruction chapter 834: destruction translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio thunder rumbled in the sky, and boundless force instantly came crashing down. the scene was frightening. the heavenly tribulation of a quasi-emperor was naturally terrifying for no reason! seeing the black demon venerable who was already half-dead on the ground, qin chen and the others were quite joyful. this old fellow might not even be able to withstand the first wave of the heavenly tribulation and die here. he did not have any trump cards to begin with, but to think he wanted to go through the lightning trial. to qin chen and the others¡¯ surprise, the black demon venerables true form was a flood dragon. it was said that a flood dragon could turn into a dragon after 800 years, though its bloodline wouldn¡¯t be as pure as a true dragon¡¯s. after his flesh and blood fell off, black scales appeared on his body as if he was shedding, and he transformed into a black dragon. his eyes were glaring angrily as he opened and closed his huge mouth to roar at the dark clouds in the sky. this scene shocked everyone. it could be seen that the black demon venerable had already transformed. he had completed the evolution of his bloodline and successfully turned into a black dragon! however, this was not enough to block the heavenly tribulation. when the lightning struck his body, his skin and flesh were torn apart. the new scales that he had grown naturally could not block it. blood flowed like a river as his huge body lay on the ground, coughing up blood. the scales had been his greatest reliance, but he had hurried into the lightning tribulation and had also just been injured by the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower, making his current state even worse! he could no longer withstand the heavenly tribulation. the black demon venerable roared indignantly. he only felt regret. if he hadn¡¯t angered qin chen and the others, he might have had a chance to break through to the quasi-emperor realm! at that time, not many in the entire demon race¡¯s forbidden ground could be its match. but now, he was about to die. how could he come to peace with this? he felt as if something was stuck in his chest. he stared blankly at the thunderbolts descending from the sky, which turned into streaks of lightning and struck his body. in a short while, under the gazes of qin chen and the others, everything quietened down. the black demon venerable lay lifeless on the ground, and even his primordial spirit had dissipated. what a pity for this black dragon. if the other party had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm, his flesh, blood, skin, and bones would have become extremely valuable and useful. now that he was dead without having successfully broken through, qin chen and the others didn¡¯t bother to skin him and simply burned his corpse to a crisp. ¡°dead¡­¡± the half-demon woman was extremely shocked. the culprit who had imprisoned her for so many years had actually died so miserably! the black demon venerable was so powerful, but he couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow from qin chen and the others. he was forced to use the heavenly tribulation as a defense, but it hastened his death instead. this scene left a deep shock in her heart and she looked at qin chen in a daze. after qin chen destroyed the black dragon, he had everyone search the ruined palace and take away everything that was of value. as for the half-demon woman, she left voluntarily after qin chen spoke. at this point, they probably weren¡¯t far away from crossing the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. that being said, god knows what kind of danger lay ahead. qin chen looked at the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower in his hand. he could only use it once more. after that, he would have no other trump cards. therefore, he had to seize the last chance. qin chen then brought everyone and continued to fly into the distance. black demon venerable, who had been living in this desert for many years, was exterminated on this day. countless demons were shocked. they didn¡¯t know who did it. they only knew that all demons in the desert had been slaughtered. not even their corpses were left.. Chapter 835 - Chapter 835: Single-horned King chapter 835: single-horned king translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°elder king, look!¡± the big scorpion pointed at a lake in front of them and said. there was a small island in the middle of the lake where a pavilion stood. reflected in the water, the pavilion seemed to reach the sky. qin chen and the others were secretly surprised and found it somewhat strange. god knows who had built the demon races forbidden ground, but no demon would have probably built such a human building. could it be that those living there were humans? that would be something they had never expected. after all, this was the rear of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. without some means, one would naturally be unable to gain a foothold in such a place. they wondered if the other party was from the human or demon race. qin chen glanced at the pavilion and said to everyone, ¡°no matter if it¡¯s a human or a demon, we have to pass by it. be careful later. it¡¯s very likely that the other party will be far stronger than we imagine.¡± the true dragon and the others nodded in agreement. after all, they weren¡¯t very strong and were still unable to roam freely in the demon races forbidden ground. if they encountered any other powerful existences, they might lose their lives. qin chen led everyone over. screams could be heard from the pavilion. qin chen and the others had solemn expressions. it seemed that whoever was living in the pavilion wasn¡¯t someone kind. when they walked closer, they realized that under the tiles of the pavilion were piles of human bones. there were also countless skulls on the ground. the number of people who had died here was unimaginable. the surface of the lake reflected a faint tinge of red. perhaps the blood of many people had been washed inside. before qin chen and the others could get closer, the alarm array was activated. following this, a demon with a single horn walked out of the pavilion. it was carrying an unconscious human woman. her body was covered in wounds and many bones were broken. she looked like she had suffered a great deal of torture. he looked at qin chen and the others and said excitedly, ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that there would be humans who would dare to send themselves to our doorstep. i¡¯ve been worrying about not having any blood food these past few days!¡¯ the single-horned demon race laughed and snapped the human woman¡¯s neck with a light wrist movement) killing her instantly! then, he threw her and the corpse fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. this bloody scene made qin chen and the others feel disgusted. they didn¡¯t expect that this demon race had the habit of torturing and killing living beings. qin chen was naturally prepared to take action and finish this guy off. ¡°i am the single-horned king. report your name. i do not kill nameless people!¡¯ after saying that, he unleashed a burst of demonic power toward qin chen and the others, which was easily neutralized by the flame-wing beast. ¡°again. soul-devouring hook!¡± with that, a flying iron chain with a sinister aura pierced through the void and arrived in front of qin chen and the others. it was unknown what material this iron chain hook was made of, but it should be an evil weapon. when it was shot out, screams of vengeful souls could be heard. it seemed that countless vengeful souls had been sacrificed to produce such an aura. its power was unpredictable! qin chen slashed out with his innate sword embryo, but he was instantly sent flying, creating a deep pit when he landed. everyone descended on the island and looked worriedly at qin chen, wondering if the elder king was seriously injured. if qin chen didn¡¯t have the supreme heavenly origin armor, it would have been very difficult for him to block that attack. he spat out a mouthful of blood. he stared fixedly at the single-horned demon. even he could not see through the other party¡¯s strength.. Chapter 836 - Chapter 836: Let Me Do It! chapter 836: let me do it! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio to think the single-horned king was so powerful. qin chen had suffered a loss. if it had been the flame-wing beast or the others, they would have been killed by now. the other party¡¯s strength was definitely extraordinary. he might have already become a quasi-emperor. however, for some reason, the single-horned demon didn¡¯t use his full strength. instead, he looked at qin chen and the others as if he was toying with them. ¡°interesting, you can actually block my attack.¡± although it was just an ordinary casual attack, it was not something that ordinary people could withstand. no ordinary person could do such a thing. the single-horned king looked at qin chen with interest. if he could capture the latter and torture him, it would be fun. qin chen spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up from the pit. everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at him worriedly. ¡°elder king!¡± qin chen simply waved his hand and said, ¡°it¡¯s nothing. don¡¯t fight head-on with this fellow. otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to escape death.¡± qin chen had already experienced the strength of the other party, and the latter was obviously very powerful. the others wondered how powerful the single-horned demon was to make the elder king so cautious. ¡°you guys, hurry up and kneel and beg for mercy! perhaps my mood will improve and i¡¯ll leave your corpses intact. hahaha!¡± the single-horned demon didn¡¯t think much of qin chen and the others at all. in his eyes, these guys were only those with some talents. they may be considered prodigies, but unfortunately, they met him. his favorite thing in life was to torture people. if these people died in his hands, how good would that make him feel? qin chen cast a glance at the single-horned demon and spat out a mouthful of blood. he then said coldly, ¡°i think you¡¯re just so-so.¡± upon hearing qin chen¡¯s words, the single-horned demon¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. ¡°looks like you¡¯re bent on dying.¡± in an instant, he made a move. he once again shot out the iron chain hook. it shook the space and arrived before qin chen. everyone wanted to block it, but before they could react, they could only watch as qin chen was sent flying again, falling into the lake a thousand miles away. the bone-piercing coldness made qin chen feel as if all the bones in his body were about to break. ¡°there¡¯s something wrong with this lake!¡± he didn¡¯t expect that he would not die yet. he floated and condensed spiritual power under his feet into ice, lifting him above the water. he only managed to cure his injuries after swallowing many natural treasure treasures. then, qin chen checked his injuries and was extremely shocked. just now, even the meridians in his entire body were almost broken! a shallow mark had also appeared on the supreme heavenly origin armor. at this moment, it was shining brightly. following this, qin chen flew over with the innate sword embryo. he wanted to see how powerful this quasi-emperor was! in the blink of an eye, qin chen¡¯s figure disappeared like a ghost. he used the moving secret technique and tore through the void, stabbing his sword toward the single-horned demon. with this attack, he was one with the heavens, and the sword momentum was extraordinary! there was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the single-horned demon. with a slight turn of his body, he dodged the sword. then, he kicked qin chen¡¯s chest, sending him flying again. everyone was furious and their eyes were bloodshot. they wanted to go up and fight the demon to the death, but they were stopped by qin chen¡¯s angry roar. ¡°stop! let me do it!¡± the only person who could be the demon¡¯s enemy was probably qin chen. qin chen took out a small pagoda from his spatial magic item and poured all his spiritual energy into it. immediately, a supreme pressure was emitted. with qin chen as the center, the void began to shatter.. this time, he activated the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower to its limit! Chapter 837 - Chapter 837: Courting Death! chapter 837: courting death! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen let out a furious roar, and the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. it was as if a small mountain had appeared! countless terrifying flames flew out from the tower, whistling like fire dragons toward the single-horned demon! even the single-horned demon who had reached the quasi-emperor realm was shocked. he didn¡¯t expect that this human cultivator would have such tricks. where did this magic item come from? ¡°interesting, interesting! this is really satisfying!¡¯ boundless pressure burst out from the single-horned demon. at this moment, everyone finally realized that the enemy was a terrifying existence in the quasi-emperor realm! one had to know that the realm below the great emperor realm was the quasi-emperor realm. in this era where no one had become a great emperor, quasi-emperors were already the strongest. the moment he attacked, everyone felt fear. they saw the void shatter layer by layer. the iron chain hook in the singe-horned demon¡¯s hand turned into a black light, condensed with the miserable screams of countless. heaven and earth changed, and a storm began to fall. to be able to cause such a phenomenon with his strength alone was enough to show how terrifying the single-horned demon was. a beam of black light pierced through the flames and shot toward qin chen, fiercely bombarding the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. unexpectedly, the tower spat out an even more terrifying flame. it melted the iron chain into molten iron and the single-horned demon instantly spat out a mouthful of blood as he suffered a backlash! this was a magic item that he had spent a great deal of effort to refine. he didn¡¯t expect to be destroyed here today. his eyes were filled with unwillingness. at this moment, he wanted to escape, but he realized that he had long been surrounded by an endless sea of fire! he let out a furious roar and a pair of wings grew out of his body. the wings were like those of a great roc and carried him up into the sky. unfortunately, the fire was faster. it entangled one of the single-horned demon¡¯s feet and instantly burned it to ashes. he let out a shrill scream, then fell from the sky and smashed onto the ground! qin chen¡¯s eyes were filled with cold killing intent. it had to be said that even among the quasi-emperors that qin chen had killed, this single-horned demon could be considered one of the top figures. unfortunately, he had met someone he couldn¡¯t provoke today. not only was his natal magic item destroyed, but he might also lose his life here. thinking of this, the single-horned demon¡¯s heart became extremely desolate. he looked at qin chen and the others and continuously cursed, ¡°if you don¡¯t kill me, i¡¯ll definitely tear you into pieces in the future and make you become wandering souls in the world that can never reincarnate! i will make you taste the most painful punishment in this world!¡± the more he cursed, the more the flames burned. even with his powerful cultivation, he was unable to do anything in front of this terrifying flame. qin chen simply stared at him coldly and said, ¡°you¡¯re courting death.¡± the terrifying flames burned the single-horned demon into ashes. even his primordial spirit could not escape. he simply disappeared from the world as if he had never existed. meanwhile, the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower was also damaged, and it started to shrink. in the end, it broke into pieces and turned into a pile of debris. now, qin chen no longer had any trump cards in his hands. still, he was excited. at least he had killed a quasi-emperor-realm expert. he had not let down the reputation of the divine ghost mystic heavenly tower. the single-horned king was dead! Chapter 838 - Chapter 838: Time Wormhole chapter 838: time wormhole translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen looked at the single-horned king that had been killed. there was nothing of value left in the ruined palace. there was an ancient demonic magic item left on the ground, but unfortunately, it had been damaged. among the people present, only the big scorpion revealed an eager gaze as he ran over and picked the item up, taking it as his own magic item. after all, he did not have many magic items left, so whether this magic item was for his own use or if he sold it in the future, it would be a good treasure. then, qin chen led everyone away. they still had to walk half the way before they could leave the demon races forbidden ground. to them, this place was just too terrifying. not only were there all kinds of demon race experts here but there were also some hidden places. a slight carelessness and they might be consigned to eternal damnation. the crowd didn¡¯t say much along the way. all of them had seen the elder king¡¯s small tower shatter. they could tell that the small tower was an incomparably precious supreme treasure that could kill quasi-emperors. the single-horned king was really unlucky to have bumped into the elder king. qin chen said to the crowd, ¡°guys, do you want to rest for a while?¡± everyone nodded. it was only now that they realized that the spiritual energy in their bodies was flowing out at an abnormal speed. they were slightly surprised. could it be that the elder king had already sensed it before speaking up? qin chen looked around. this place seemed to be extremely quiet. the more normal it was, the more suspicious it was. perhaps there was some kind of danger here that they had not discovered. he took out some natural treasures and swallowed them. soon, his spiritual energy recovered to its peak state. even without qin chen¡¯s warning, everyone became vigilant. none of them had the delusion that the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground was safe. when qin chen¡¯s gaze landed on a place not far away, he discovered a strange phenomenon. this place seemed to be isolated from all rules. there was no spiritual energy, no air, no wind, no life, no nothing. these characteristics all indicated that they had stepped into a forbidden land. there was probably a deadly danger hidden here which could most likely make them lose their lives. to be able to reach this point, they encountered countless dangerous situations along the way. at this stage, they would no longer think of themselves as incomparably strong. so what if one was a quasi-emperor? some would still die in this damned place. this place had been passed down for countless years by the demon race, so it was only natural that many secrets were hidden here. thinking of this, qin chen raised his head and surveyed his surroundings. he gently stretched his hand out, but it was as if his strength was sealed and he could not use it at all. this strange phenomenon shocked everyone. then, everyone suddenly felt an indescribable sense of unease. the spiritual energy in their bodies was rapidly dissipating. if they lost their spiritual energy and their powerful bodies, they would be no different from ordinary creatures in a moment. ¡°damn it, don¡¯t tell me we¡¯ve encountered something similar to a time wormhole, right?!¡± time wormholes only existed in the cosmic and were extremely terrifying. one could possibly be sucked into a time wormhole and disappear from the world. even one¡¯s primordial spirit would not be left behind. it was also possible that one would be teleported to a certain place and would never be able to return, lost in the vast starry sky. and now, the situation they encountered here was eerily similar to the time wormhole. this made their hair stand on end.. Chapter 839 - Chapter 839: Dharma-Ending Land chapter 839: dharma-ending land translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°there¡¯s indeed a problem here, elder king, did you notice?¡± the flame-wing beast nodded and continued, ¡°it¡¯s not just the spiritual energy in our bodies that is unconsciously dissipating. our flesh and blood power is also being weakened, and it¡¯s like we have aged many years.¡± this further proved that the flow of time here was the opposite of the outside world. in the past, qin chen and the others had encountered an ancestral moon in the starry sky, and the flow of time there had been very slow. their thoughts hadn¡¯t been controlled there, so cultivating there was like doing so in a blessed land. in contrast, in this godforsaken place, their time flow was accelerating. in fact, they only came to their senses when abnormalities started happening in their bodies. if this continued, not only would they become ordinary people, but they would also die here and turn into a pile of bones. in the end, they would turn into mere dust and disappear entirely. could it be that this was a land of death? qin chen took out some natural treasures and devoured them to maintain his spiritual energy. otherwise, he was afraid that if he encountered any unexpected situation, he would die here before he could react. this was no joke. the big scorpion cursed as he raised the ancient demonic magic item and slashed at the sky. however, the attack weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. in the end, it turned into nothingness thousands of miles away as if it had never existed. this scene made him feel fear. could this be the place where they would die? ¡°let¡¯s go!¡± qin chen roared. he led everyone to retreat the way they came. this was definitely a place that they could not enter. unfortunately, they only realized after walking for an hour that the scenery was clearly changing, but they still hadn¡¯t left the scope of the land of death. it was as if they had been trapped by a ghost. ¡°rules! the rules are the key!¡± there were no rules in this place. perhaps they had been stripped away by some powerful power of order, which was why it had become like this. it was a place where no living being could enter! however, this also meant that there was a way to escape. if they could find that power of order and control it, they might be able to return to their former selves. the forbidden power was beyond their understanding. if they could return to their past selves, wouldn¡¯t they be immortal? however, there must be a certain flaw in this. it couldn¡¯t be so heaven-defying. otherwise, it would not exist in this world. thinking of this, qin chen calmed down. especially at such a time, he couldn¡¯t panic. he had to focus all his heart on sensing the abnormal changes in his surroundings. he had to find that order. this was the only way for them to survive. even a quasi-emperor-realm expert would die if they accidentally stepped into this place. time was the most powerful force, enough to make all things lose their traces of existence. even something as powerful as an extreme emperor weapon would eventually dissipate under the erosion of time. ¡°elder king, we can¡¯t hold on much longer.¡± the true dragon looked extremely old at this moment, and its voice was hoarse. many wrinkles had appeared on its face, and even white hair grew out. one had to know that the dragon race¡¯s vitality was extremely long, enough to last for tens of millions of years. but now, the true dragon had actually stepped into the middle-aged phase from a youth. how much time had passed? Chapter 840 - Chapter 840: The Rules Will Follow What I Say chapter 840: the rules will follow what i say translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the others had aged just like the true dragon. ¡°could it be that the flow of time in our bodies is not controlled by ourselves? here, the more powerful one was, the faster one would age. qin chen quickly figured out the crux of the matter. at this moment, he could feel that his strength was lacking, and his organs began to fail. it had only been less than half a day, and they had already changed so much. if a day passed, they might already be dead, not even leaving behind a single trace. ¡°where is it hiding?¡± qin chen¡¯s eyes were about to spew out flames of anger. he wasn¡¯t killed but instead was about to be trapped to death here. this was something he couldn¡¯t accept. he was unwilling to accept such a fate! they had encountered so many difficulties and dangers along the way, but now, they were on the verge of death in this place. it was simply a huge joke. qin chen asked everyone to stay where they were and try not to move. this way, they could preserve their strength and slow down the speed of aging. since the flow of time in the surroundings was abnormal, qin chen would think of a way to make it normal! that could be done by establishing a new rule in this land of death. however, that was extremely difficult to achieve. he had never heard of anyone who could grasp the rules and do that. it was most likely that only ancient great emperors could do such a thing. still, qin chen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, entering the state of the union of heaven and man. his heart seemed to be as calm as a still lake, without any ripples. finally, after an unknown period, qin chen moved. something in his heart seemed to have shattered, and fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. this scene was captured by everyone, and they were extremely worried. could it be that the elder king had gone berserk? under the state of the union of heaven and man, it was still extremely difficult for qin chen to create a rule. his dao heart had been broken. he had long expected the consequences of doing so, but it was a pity that it had come too quickly. if a cultivator¡¯s dao heart was broken, it was almost certain that their cultivation prowess would not be able to rise in the future and they would forever be limited to their current realm. if they were lucky, they might just be stuck in the same realm. if they were unlucky, it was even possible that their lifespan would be reduced and they would die on the spot. an injury of the great path was terrifying as such. the current situation was getting increasingly worse. even if qin chen and others wanted to leave this place, they couldn¡¯t. they could feel that they were getting closer and closer to death. even a person with a strong mind could not withstand such a high-pressure situation. wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, qin chen looked into the void. what he saw was cosmic. the creation of the cosmic was formed from the shattering of a huge star. spiritual energy would be produced in that big explosion, splitting into countless fragments that formed the countless stars in the nine heavens and ten lands. it was precisely because of this that life was born. countless rules made living beings stronger and stronger. the karma within this was hope and destruction. this was how all things were born, and at the same time, endless rules were derived from it. no matter how much qin chen tried to comprehend it, he couldn¡¯t see through it completely. the scene disappeared in his eyes. having encompassed countless great paths, he felt as if he was about to dissipate between heaven and earth. there were no longer any traces of his existence. this was like another kind of transcendence, a realm above the rules. whatever he said, the rules would make true. that realm itself was the embodiment of the rules, walking in the cosmic and ruling over billions of living beings.. Chapter 841 - Chapter 841: Condensing Rules chapter 841: condensing rules translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen was in a marvelous state. he didn¡¯t even notice that his body had undergone a mystical change. right at this moment, the flow of time around him seemed to have returned to normal. it no longer continued to accelerate wildly. however, he had also suffered the most terrifying injury. his dao heart had been broken, which was an injury of the great path. this was a fatal blow to any celestial cultivator. still, qin chen didn¡¯t give up. he kept looking for a solution. in his mind, stars were constantly being shattered and reforged, containing the birth and death of life. countless rules interweaved, and he could almost see the origin of the great path! this scene was almost impossible for people below the quasi-emperor realm. even quasi-emperors would be shocked to see it. yet, qin chen seemed to be absorbing energy from it, constantly trying to touch the rules and make them his own. if he could really do it, then perhaps he could materialize rules in this land of death. this was the most suitable place for him, but it was a nightmare for others. when qin chen regained consciousness, his every move gave off an unfathomable special feeling. he had successfully turned this fatal danger into an opportunity, and it was because of this that he was able to survive. the true dragon, the flame-wing beast, and the others couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. they had become extremely old and didn¡¯t have much lifespan left. they would probably die here soon. fortunately, qin chen had already woken up. now, he already possessed the power to condense rules! with a wave of his hand, he condensed the rules in his palm. this scene was absolutely shocking. there were no rules in this desolate ground, but everything around him suddenly returned to normal. spiritual energy also began to be born. the process was very slow as if the place had experienced a great calamity. from the chaos of the cosmic, qin chen finally found the power to control rules. at the same time, everyone could feel that they seemed to have stopped aging. the flow of time had returned to normal¡­ this was the first rule that qin chen had recovered, the rule of time flow. the other rules continued to recover slowly as well. if he didn¡¯t restore the rule of time first, everyone might die in a second. to him, only a second had passed, but to the true dragon and the others, it was far more than a second. it could be a hundred years or ten thousand years! very soon, qin chen smiled. with a wave of his hand, a magical scene happened in front of everyone. their originally aged faces slowly recovered to their original appearance at this moment. it was simply a miracle! ¡°have we recovered?¡± the big scorpion could not believe it, but the blood energy power in his body was once again invigorated, and even his spiritual energy had returned to its previous abundance. he was left with no choice but to believe the reality that was happening in front of him. it was all thanks to qin chen. as more and more rules appeared in this world, everything quickly returned to its original state. weeds began to grow on the ground, and everything returned to how it had been countless years ago. qin chen¡¯s eyes were like torches as he looked into the void. the power of order that originally existed in this place quickly dissipated. who left behind such a terrifying power of rules here? was it to stop someone from passing through? could it be that there were some unspeakable secrets behind this demon race¡¯s forbidden ground? Chapter 842 - Chapter 842: The Huge Cave Under the Valley chapter 842: the huge cave under the valley translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen didn¡¯t mention this to the others. he only smiled and led them forward. the true dragon and the others changed their opinion of the elder king again. just the methods that the elder king revealed just now were already unfathomable! even a quasi-emperor couldn¡¯t do the same. one could imagine how powerful the elder king was now. even if his realm was far from being in the ranks of an expert, he would surely grow into a terrifying expert in the future. as they thought of this, they followed qin chen and continued to move forward. it was as if what they had just experienced was just a dream. not long after, qin chen and the others discovered that they had left the previous place. one had to know that it had been several hours now. they did not expect that they could leave so easily now. following this, a valley appeared in front of them. there seemed to be some kind of powerful aura in the valley, and even qin chen was shocked. he carefully warned everyone, ¡°there might be danger ahead. everyone, pay attention and be on high alert!¡± after saying that, he walked forward. everyone followed him, adjusting their conditions to the peak, vigilant of the sudden danger. they had just escaped from the brink of death, but unexpectedly, they were about to encounter another incomparable terror in the blink of an eye. as qin chen continued to advance, everyone saw that cracks seemed to have begun to appear under their feet. ¡°could it be that it¡¯s empty below? qin chen thought of this and punched. the punch shattered the ground, revealing a big hole. god knows how vast the space was under the pitch-black hole. he glanced at everyone and jumped down. everyone followed and entered the big hole. the underground world was pitch-black and they couldn¡¯t see anything. however, to experts like them, it was already nothing. just by burning their spiritual energy, they lit up an area. only then did they discover that there were countless white bones underground. no one knew what creatures had left behind these bones, but qin chen could sense that the owners of the bones were most likely close to the quasi-emperor realm. why they died here was a secret that had been buried for countless years. perhaps if they did not come here, no one would ever discover these bones. thinking of this, qin chen looked at the wall. there were many carvings on the surrounding walls. some kind of demonic beast totem seemed to have been engraved. it was a pity that the carvings were too old and were close to being weathered. they were dilapidated and could not be recognized. the many bones at their feet turned into dust with the slightest touch. this meant that the bones had existed here for an even longer time. the murals on the walls had been left behind from an unknown era. qin chen led everyone forward. then, they saw huge rock statues. the sculptures were of some kind of powerful demonic beasts, unknown. no one knew what race those demonic beasts were. more than ten stone statues stood crowded in front of them. when qin chen and the others looked at the stone sculptures, they felt somewhat apprehensive. at their levels, they had an extremely accurate intuition about life and death. these stone sculptures were most likely dangerous.. Chapter 843 - Chapter 843: The Demon Race’s Stone Sculpture is Alive! chapter 843: the demon race¡¯s stone sculpture is alive! translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen didn¡¯t rashly approach. instead, he struck out, shattering a statue into pieces and causing it to fall to the ground. seeing that none of the broken rocks moved, only then did he choose to walk forward and reminded everyone not to follow him. after all, he could rely on the moving secret technique to escape once danger appeared. this was where his confidence originated. as long as he had supreme heavenly origin armor on him, he would be able to escape unless he suffered any fatal attacks. he could even stall in the face of a quasi-emperor¡¯s attack. soon, he arrived in front of the statue that he had just shattered. he picked up a shattered piece and didn¡¯t discover any fluctuations from it. however, just as he stood up, an eye suddenly opened in front of him. a statue had come to life! that¡¯s right, it was alive. it was as if it had a life of its own at this moment. it attacked qin chen and instantly dunched his chest. sending him flying. qin chen smashed into the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood. thank god the supreme heavenly origin armor had blocked most of the power from the attack for him. he had only been injured by the impact. it was only a minor injury, and his strength was not affected at all. very quickly, qin chen took out his innate sword embryo and slashed at the demonic beast statue. everyone was bewildered. it seemed that the elder king¡¯s deduction was not wrong. the scene before their eyes showed that if they had all gone forward just now, they might have been caught off guard. moreover, the statues were not weak. at this moment, the statues of the demonic beast seemed to have awakened, and all of them charged toward qin chen. sensing that something was amiss, qin chen struck out a lotus flower. the lotus flower slowly burned, like a green lotus formed from flames. this was the green lotus demonic flame that he had once obtained on the black moon. it instantly erupted with endless power and was able to force back the demonic beast statues. after taking a few steps back qin chen steadied himself and said to everyone, ¡°attack! ¡± with that, everyone went all out in attacking the terrifying demonic beast statues. even though these demonic beast statues had not reached the quasi-emperor realm, they still brought a lot of pressure. at most, they could only deal with one or two demonic beast statues at the same time. they simply could not withstand the statues that came swarming over in groups. in the end, they were injured. qin chen tried to use the condensed rule energy he had just comprehended, but he discovered that the rules here were not under his control. in other words, other than in the land of death just now, he had no other way to use his newly comprehended rule energy. thinking of this, qin chen felt fear. he hurriedly asked everyone to leave. just as they turned around, they noticed that many demon race statues had appeared behind them. they were trapped in the middle, surrounded underground. ¡°damn it, what should we do now, elder king?¡± the true dragon transformed into its original form, and the flame-wing beast did the same. fortunately, the underground world was vast, so the two were not restricted. ¡°what kind of place is this underground? why are these demon race stone staties coming back to life? could it be that those quasi-emperor-realm experts were all killed by these things?¡± the big scorpion exclaimed. he was shocked by his speculation. this was not a small matter. there wasn¡¯t even a single quasi-emperor among them.. didn¡¯t that mean that they were about to die here? Chapter 844 - Chapter 844: Myriad Demon Primal Catalog chapter 844: myriad demon primal catalog translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio if qin chen hadn¡¯t comprehended the power of the condensed rule, perhaps his great path injury would have been enough to take his life. when he grasped the rule, the injuries of the great path in his body had disappeared mysteriously. it was also because of this that he survived the punch just now. otherwise, he might have been killed instantaneously in the previous exchange. at this moment, qin chen was looking at the demon race statues in front of him. the statues were slowly approaching them, seemingly having a mind of their own and all determined to kill them all here. the many bones on the ground were a result of countless cultivators losing their lives because they had encountered these terrifying demon race statues. unfortunately, qin chen and the others had no way out now. after being trapped on the spot, the true dragon and the others were already prepared to fight a bloody battle. just at this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in qin chen¡¯s mind. [ding, dong!] [powerful divinity remnants have been discovered here. would the host like to check in here?] [note: you can check in here once!] qin chen had never thought that there would be powerful divinity remnants in this place. he silently muttered the words ¡°check in¡± in his heart. ¡°check in!¡± [ding, dong!] [congratulations, host. you have checked in at the great emperor¡¯s ruins of the demon race. you have received the reward of the myriad demon primal totem!] [myriad demon primal totem: a supreme treasure refined by the heavenly demon great emperor. it is a rare array-type magic item that can release an attack that is equivalent to the great emperor level. it can only be used twice, and after two uses, it will lose its power and turn into an ordinary object. it has a ball of primal energy as the array core, it is terrifying!] what? had he actually checked in at the ruins of the demon race¡¯s great emperor? could it be that all these demon race statues were left behind by the other party? this discovery shocked qin chen. he looked at the scroll that had appeared in his hand. the scroll looked ordinary, but it revealed a palpitating fluctuation. ¡°to think i can kill two quasi-emperors with this¡­¡± qin chen¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. one must know that treasures that could kill quasi-emperors were extremely rare nowadays. other than him being able to obtain such treasures from the system¡¯s rewards, only those in ancient orthodoxies could get their hands on them. this was a forbidden item! he held the myriad demon primal totem in his hand and killing intent rose in his eyes. since these demon race statues wanted to kill them, he would not hold back anymore and destroy them all! he would like to see if these statues could resist the myriad demon primal totem! in an instant, qin chen poured all the spiritual energy in his body into the scroll in his hand, allowing it to slowly awaken. with that, a gust of wind surged from all directions, unexpectedly forming a special space that enveloped qin chen and the others. seeing that the demon race statues were getting closer and closer, qin chen activated the myriad demon primal catalog to attack. following this, the demon race statues that had killed countless quasi-emperor-realm experts were instantly turned into ashes. this was the power of the myriad demon primal catalog. right now, qin chen¡¯s emotions were calm as ever. he only wanted to continue moving forward. even if he had wasted an opportunity to kill a quasi-emperor on these demon race statues, he didn¡¯t feel any heartache. if he didn¡¯t use the scroll now, he might lose his life here. thinking of this, qin chen led the group forward.. Chapter 845 - Chapter 845: Tunnel chapter 845: tunnel translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio it was obvious that there were many secrets in the cave below the valley. the problem now was that qin chen and the others had to be able to learn them. these secrets had been hidden here for countless years, and it was even a place where a demon race great emperor had once stayed. this was enough to prove that this place was extraordinary. could it be that the other party had some secret left behind here? qin chen said to the crowd, ¡°all the demon race statues here have been destroyed. let¡¯s continue walking forward.¡± the deeper they went, the wider the underground world became. it could even accommodate tens of millions of living beings. god knows where the winding end led to. the valley seemed to have almost been emptied to become this huge space. qin chen led the group deeper into the cave and discovered many bones on the ground, as well as some bloodstains. they didn¡¯t seem to have existed for a long time. it should have only been a few decades since someone passed by here. the other party seemed to have been injured, but could it be that he had some other way to dodge the attacks of those demon race statues? qin chen had many speculations in his heart. he picked up a blue crystal on the ground. the crystal looked like some kind of ore, very similar to some extremely rare materials. it should be a special product here. thinking of this, he put the piece he picked up into his spatial magic item. when the big scorpion and the others saw this, they hurriedly began to collect the crystals as well. who knew? maybe the crystals would be of great use in the future. after all, who could say for sure? qin chen looked at the bloodstains on the ground and pointed forward, ¡°the other party should have gone deeper.¡± however, after he walked for a distance, the blood on the ground suddenly disappeared. what was going on? did the other party stop the bleeding? or did he disappear here? either way, qin chen was determined to continue searching. qin chen¡¯s gaze landed on the surrounding stone walls. he slowly placed his hand on a wall and used his spiritual energy to sense the feedback fluctuations. if there was something similar to a barrier, he would be able to find it immediately. soon, his eyes flew open as he felt violent feedback on his hand. his spiritual energy seemed to have been bounced back. qin chen locked onto the location and punched out. with that, he smashed a hole in a stone wall. he continued to punch the wall two more times, and a tunnel appeared. perhaps there was a certain pattern to rightfully enter the cave. either way, he was probably the first to enter it violently. bloodstains appeared again. qin chen waved his hand at everyone and led the way in. no one dared to stay far behind. they followed and were curious to see what was inside. to think so many experts that were close to the quasi-emperor realm wanted to enter. some had even succeeded. ¡°it can¡¯t be that the other party has already taken all the benefits, right?¡± the big scorpion couldn¡¯t help but feel dejected when he thought of this. if there was nothing they could gain, then wouldn¡¯t their adventure be very unworthwhile? after all, they had almost died here. after they followed the bloodstains and entered, they discovered a different world inside. it was actually another long tunnel, and god knows where the end was.. Chapter 846 - Chapter 846: Jinx chapter 846: jinx translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio everything looked the same in the tunnel. after walking for more than an hour, the big scorpion pondered for a while before speaking up, ¡°elder king, could it be that we have been in the same place all along? they had already walked for an unknown distance, but they were still not seeing anything. instead, it was still a long passageway that seemed to lead to the depths of someplace. it was possible that they would continue walking until they died. perhaps they were already trapped here. once this idea was brought up, everyone was somewhat convinced because they had more or less harbored the worry, though they did not say it out loud. now, they only had one option left, and that was to walk back the way they came. qin chen looked at the path they came from. it was layers of deep and repetitive tunnels. this gave him a bad feeling, but he quickly threw the feeling to the back of his mind. ¡°then let¡¯s go back.¡± after saying that, the elder king led everyone back the way they came. logically speaking, it would not be long before they could leave. it was only after they had traveled at full speed for several hours that they realized something was wrong. the path back seemed to have disappeared. it was more like an endless loop maze. logically speaking, they should have returned to the entrance by now. now, they had no idea how to leave. the surroundings of the tunnel looked the same, but the problem was that they could no longer get out. rocks fell from the wall from time to time. ¡°you jinx,¡± the true dragon scolded the big scorpion. in fact, even if the big scorpion didn¡¯t voice his worries, everyone would still ultimately realize their predicament. it was just that they had noticed it earlier now. ¡°elder king, why don¡¯t we try to open a path through this wall?¡± the flame-wing beast looked at the wall. as long as qin chen gave the order, it would smash a big hole in this f*cking tunnel. at that time, they would surely be able to get out of here. ¡°have you ever thought about this? if we can escape just by breaking the wall, it would be too easy. i think if we really do that, we might encounter other dangers. can you guarantee that the path that you open up is the one for us to leave this tunnel? could it be that it would be another endless cycle?¡±qin chen shook his head. in his opinion, if they were trapped here, there must be a reason. as long as they found the reason, they could find a solution. ¡°is it an illusion? he raised his head and looked at the wall. no one knew what he was thinking. he did not feel the existence of an illusion at all. it was as if this was just his guess. if it wasn¡¯t an illusion, what could it be? could it be a spatial distortion? there was only one possibility. if it was indeed a spatial distortion, then their power would have to be at least stronger than the spatial distortion here in order to escape. if their strength was not enough, they might fall into the spatial distortion. at that time, the best outcome would be their bodies being shattered, and the worst outcome would be their bodies and primordial spirit being torn apart into shreds. fortunately, they hadn¡¯t let the flame-wing beast smash a path out. otherwise, they might have fallen into a situation with a slim chance of survival.. Chapter 847 - Chapter 847: Spatial Distortion chapter 847: spatial distortion translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio thinking of this, qin chen silently placed his hand on the wall and felt the spatial fluctuations in the surroundings. he was very focused, afraid that he would miss out on any minute details. even the slightest anomaly would be enough to prove that it was indeed as he had guessed. as long as they gathered their power and obtained stronger spatial power, they would be able to break the cage here. ¡°i thought we would be able to obtain some kind of treasure, but in the end) we¡¯re trapped here,¡± the big scorpion smacked his mouth and kicked the stones on the ground. nothing changed in the surroundings, but qin chen frowned because he felt an indescribable terrifying power pressing down on him. if he hadn¡¯t been sensing the surroundings, he might have fallen into danger without knowing it. he immediately looked at the big scorpion and saw that some mysterious change seemed to have happened where the latter was. his figure was gradually disappearing, faintly discernible. ¡°elder king¡­ i¡­ what¡¯s happening to me?¡± the big scorpion was extremely surprised. he also felt a terrifying power, and the source seemed to be under his feet, making him the center of that abnormal change. qin chen¡¯s eyes revealed extreme cautiousness. ¡°that¡¯s spatial distortion.¡± god knows if the big scorpion was lucky or unlucky, but he happened to just be at the center of the spatial distortion vortex. if anything dangerous happened, he would definitely die without a burial place. everyone revealed a surprised look. they could also sense that the area where the big scorpion was located was abnormal. it felt as if they were facing some kind of irresistible and noble power. it was even more shocking than facing the heavenly tribulation. ¡°elder¡­ king¡­ save me, i¡­ i don¡¯t want to die. i¡­ i just kicked a stone on the ground¡­ i didn¡¯t expect it to turn out like this¡­¡± the big scorpion¡¯s face was now covered in tears. he was emotionally unstable as he asked in a panicked tone, ¡°elder king, will i die?¡± qin chen hesitated for a moment, but still told him the truth, ¡°you will die without even leaving a trace.¡± hearing this, the big scorpion¡¯s expression changed. he wondered why he was so unlucky that he would lose his life for nothing. to think that the world below the valley was so terrifying. even quasi-emperors would have to treat such danger with caution. it was extraordinary. the rule and power of this distorted space seemed to have been left behind by some powerful existence. since something was abnormal, there must be a problem. this place was definitely not someplace they could explore now. at the very least, they had to advance to the peak of the god venerable realm. but now, the big scorpion was covered by the terrifying spatial distortion power. it would not be easy to fish him out. an accident and anyone who tried to save him might even lose their own life. at that time, not only would the big scorpion not be saved, but the person trying to save him would also be sacrificed. this was extremely unworthwhile. to qin chen, the big scorpion was a friend who had accompanied him for a long time. even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. he wanted to give it a try. unless he witnessed the big scorpion die here, he would not give up. in an instant, qin chen poured all his strength into the supreme heavenly origin armor. this was a defensive magic item left behind by an ancient great prnnprn Chapter 848 - Chapter 848: Black-Robed Youth chapter 848: black-robed youth translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio presumably, the supreme heavenly origin armor should be enough to resist the spatial distortion rule. as for whether it could save the big scorpion safely, that was unknown. ¡°elder king, hurry up and leave. don¡¯t waste time here.¡± at this moment, the big scorpion seemed to have understood something. not only did he not have any thoughts of breaking free, but he also advised everyone to quickly leave. this way, he would be the only one who would die and not the others. qin chen roared and rushed forward. ¡°what are you talking about? if we want to leave, we¡¯ll leave together.¡± after saying that, everyone saw the elder king, who was emitting light, arrive right before the big scorpion. unfortunately, every step he took was extremely laborious. in the eyes of the others, it seemed as if several hours had passed before he took a step. his eyes were filled with determination. they weren¡¯t far from the big scorpion. he vowed to resist the effect of the spatial distortion. what was the big scorpion seeing? he saw the elder king walking towards him. he was extremely touched. he kept waving at the latter, asking him to leave. even the big scorpion knew that this was not a power that they could deal with at their current stage. if they did not handle it well, even the elder king would be killed here. it didn¡¯t matter if he died, but what about the elder king? there were still so many humans waiting for him in the nine heavens and ten lands. if he died just like that, how would his family and friends face those incomparably powerful enemies? ¡°don¡¯t come over, elder king!¡± the big scorpion roared at the others to pull the elder king away. unfortunately, the others couldn¡¯t head over as they didn¡¯t have a defensive magic item like the one on the elder king. as a result, they could not withstand the power of that level at all and would instantly be transformed into countless pieces of meat if they tried to head over. qin chen was getting closer and closer. he could see other things in his eyes. he seemed to be able to see some scenes, fragments of the past that had remained here for an unknown number of years, buried by history. in the scenes, there was an extremely powerful black-robed youth. boundless pressure surged out of his body, making people¡¯s scalps go numb with just a glance. there was an eye on his forehead, shining with golden light that carried an extremely powerful spatial power. countless enemies charged at him crazily. many of them had already reached the quasi-emperor realm. hundreds of quasi-emperors attacked at the same time just to kill him. yet, the black-robed youth was fearless. he laughed wantonly and roared at the sky. the divine eye in the center of his eyebrows emitted a dazzling light. with that, the space was distorted, and quasi-emperors died in a few moments. even their primordial spirits were torn into countless pieces. unfortunately, this move was shocking, but it did not leave the black-robed youth with much energy left. the golden light emitted from his eyes dimmed. following this, the black-robed youth took out his spear and fought fiercely with the remaining quasi-emperors. the incomparably powerful combined force of the quasi-emperors was a disaster that the black-robed youth could not resist. he quickly fell into a disadvantage. the reason was that the eye was absorbing his power. unfortunately, the heavens did not give him another chance. the eye quickly drained his divine power. the rest of the enemies stabbed their weapons into the black-robed youth¡¯s body, causing him to spit out blood. his dead body seemed to still be kneeling here, and his golden divine eye remained as well.. Chapter 849 - Chapter 849: Golden Divine Eye chapter 849: golden divine eye translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio this was a great battle that had happened a long time ago. it was so shocking. it was as if it still existed here, and there were remnants of spatial distortion power. very soon, qin chen saw in other scenes that some other people came to this place and seemed to be looking for the golden divine eye. unfortunately, the divine eye had been destroyed by the distorted space and turned into nothingness. it was as if it had never existed. after that, more people came, and without exception, all of them were here to find the golden divine eye. unfortunately, none of them managed to leave alive of course, they did not find anything either. they did not even see the golden light before dying. this shocked qin chen. could it be that the spot under the big scorpion¡¯s feet was where the golden divine eye was located? that eye did not seem to belong to the black-robed youth. it was probably an unknown existence that had been absorbed into his body. one could imagine that since the eye could instantly kill countless quasi-emperors, it must be left behind by an expert who had surpassed the quasi-emperor realm and was a half-step great emperor. if they could find it, it would undoubtedly be a shocking fortune. those people in the scenes couldn¡¯t find the divine eye, but that didn¡¯t mean they couldn¡¯t. in qin chen¡¯s opinion, the big scorpion was very likely to be where the golden eye was. otherwise, there would not be such an abrupt and shocking change. in other words, as long as they could find the golden divine eye, their current crisis could be resolved, and the big scorpion could live. qin chen¡¯s eyes regained clarity. at the same time, some kind of pattern had been unknowingly engraved on his back. that was the mark of the great path condensed by the spatial perception rule. since the mark appeared on him, it was indicative that he had already comprehended a decent amount of spatial power. if he could completely control it, a terrifying rule power might appear around him, making it extremely difficult for others to get close to him. qin chen didn¡¯t notice anything, but instead looked at the big scorpion. he said, ¡°do you feel something under your feet? find its location and tell me.¡± after saying that, qin chen was immediately shocked. that was because he saw a crack grow on the big scorpion¡¯s forehead that he hadn¡¯t noticed just now. at that moment, the golden light from the crack was extremely dazzling. ¡°i didn¡¯t find anything, but i feel something beside me.¡± everyone watched as the big scorpion entered a dazed state. they did not even dare to use their perception to sense the crack on the big scorpion¡¯s forehead. once they came into contact with it, they would suffer a backlash. that power was exactly the same as the power of the spatial distortion rule in this tunnel. could it be that the big scorpion had already mastered that terrifying rule? suddenly, the big scorpion roared, seemingly in extreme pain. an eye opened from the crack on his forehead and looked around. the power was unbearable to him, and even his primordial spirit was about to collapse from the pain. it was exactly the same as what qin chen saw in the scenes previously. on the forehead of the big scorpion was the golden divine eye! it seemed that this was the big scorpion¡¯s great opportunity. the other experts couldn¡¯t get the divine eye no matter what they did, but the big scorpion had easily obtained it. qin chen wondered if those experts who had died here would be so angry that they would come back to life when they learned of this. fate did play tricks on people. ¡°ah! it hurts!¡± the big scorpion knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling. the power was not something that he could control at his current level. thankfully, as time slowly passed, the golden vertical eye on his forehead slowly closed and disappear. however, qin chen knew that the energy was still within the big scorpion¡¯s body. perhaps the latter would need to slowly control it before he could use it.. Chapter 850 - Chapter 850: Leave chapter 850: leave translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio when qin chen and the others felt that the terrifying spatial distortion rule power on the big scorpion seemed to have weakened a lot, they heaved a sigh of relief because the latter seemed to be fine. the big scorpion then stood up and smiled at qin chen, ¡°elder king, am i dreaming? why do i feel that the eye on my forehead can crush all quasi-emperors? hearing this, the others were incomparably surprised. they could not imagine just how great a harvest the big scorpion had obtained in this tunnel. it was simply unimaginable. to think he was saying that he could even kill quasi-emperors now. one had to know that quasi-emperors were the strongest combat power in the current world and weren¡¯t so easy to kill. each of them had many magic items and various life-saving techniques. even if they were killed, they might not be completely dead. they would maybe even have a backup plan to resurrect themselves. such combat strength was very terrifying. it simply made everyone feel incomparably shocked. god knows how long it would take for them to cultivate to this stage. but what about the big scorpion? to think he had now become a powerful figure who could kill quasi-emperors. ¡°that¡¯s right. the golden divine eye can indeed kill quasi-emperors, but unfortunately, your body can¡¯t withstand the terrifying power to do so. think about it. imagine encountering a quasi-emperor-realm expert. just as you open your golden divine eye, your body will explode.¡± the words were like a bucket of ice-cold water in winter, instantly waking the big scorpion up. that¡¯s right, he couldn¡¯t use the golden divine eye now. it was not because of anything else, but that he was too weak. the power of the golden divine eye was incomparably powerful. his using it would be like an ant moving an elephant. it was simply impossible. if he did it, he felt that he might be the one who would get hurt. everyone was extremely envious. they hadn¡¯t expected the big scorpion to master the terrifying spatial distortion rule in the tunnel! if he used this terrifying spatial distortion rule in battle, the other party might be caught off guard. with such terrifying power, it was simply a divine skill! the big scorpion was extremely excited. now, his combat strength had increased by countless times in an instant. even against a quasi-emperor, he could fight the other party if he wanted to. this was the power of the golden divine eye. on the other hand, qin chen also obtained many benefits. the one most worthy of attention was the spatial great dao mark on his back. this allowed his understanding of space to increase by a lot. it was something that could only be encountered by luck. at this point, there was nothing else worth exploring in this tunnel. the most terrifying and precious thing here had already been obtained by the big scorpion. without the power of the golden divine eye, this place would soon return to normal. following this, qin chen brought everyone back to the valley. there was no longer any danger here, and they could now leave this damn place. everyone followed the elder king and continued walking. finally, they arrived at the outside world. this was already the edge of the demon race¡¯s forbidden land. they should be able to leave completely after half a day. at that time, the experts of the thousand yin holy sect would no longer be able to chase after them. although the thousand yin holy sect had many experts and was a supreme orthodoxy, they didn¡¯t have the final say in this world. qin chen and the others¡¯ survival shouldn¡¯t be a problem as long as they didn¡¯t provoke the magnates in this world.. Chapter 851 - Chapter 851: Glacier chapter 851: glacier translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after walking for god knows how long, a glacier suddenly appeared in front of them. to think a glacier had appeared out of nowhere! it was incredible. the glacier was incomparably huge, stretching for thousands of miles. it must be known that it was not easy for such a vast glacier to stand here. it was most likely that some traces left behind by an expert in the past had formed this glacier. it was also enough to show that they were about to face an extremely powerful enemy who would not let them go so easily. looking at the endless glacier, everyone could not help but sigh. the last time they saw ice, they had been in the territory of the lizard demon race. that had just been an ice hole. this was starkly different. it was like a world of ice and snow here. the moment they lay a foot on the glacier, they already felt an incomparably bone-piercing cold. even the circulation of spiritual energy was somewhat frozen as their breathing slowly became chaotic. if the temperature here was any colder, they would probably be frozen to the point of losing consciousness. qin chen looked at the others. their eyes were filled with shock because this place was not somewhere ordinary people could live. even they couldn¡¯t stay here for too long. otherwise, their bodies wouldn¡¯t be able to take it. currently, they could still use their spiritual energy to wrap themselves up as protection from the extreme cold, but once they were exposed to this extreme frost, they would freeze. after all, this place should have a frost rule. otherwise, such a large glacier couldn¡¯t possibly have appeared from nowhere in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. after qin chen and the others had a general understanding of the formation of this glacier, they carefully moved forward. they did not walk far when they saw a black shadow suddenly appear. however, before they could see the other party clearly, the shadow disappeared, as if they were hallucinating. yet, almost everyone present saw the shadow, which meant it was surely not an illusion. the black shadow had definitely been revealed by some kind of living being. ¡°everyone, be careful. don¡¯t lose your life in vain¡­ this place is very dangerous.¡± qin chen also noticed that something was wrong. as they moved forward, the area in front of them seemed to be getting colder and colder, to the point that his spiritual energy was almost unable to withstand it. he needed to mobilize most of the spiritual energy in his body to resist the cold. although they were cultivators, they would still be frozen into ice sculptures if this continued. they were not very powerful. in the face of any rule, they were very weak. ¡°look, something is running over,¡± the true dragon suddenly spoke because he just saw a black shadow that was half the height of a person which then suddenly disappeared right under their eyes. however, qin chen was the only one who noticed it. this meant that the speed of the other party was extremely fast. ¡°that looks like a demonic beast!¡± ¡°what kind of demonic beast? how can it run so fast?¡± if they didn¡¯t tear through the void, qin chen and the others wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up to the other party. just by using their naked eyes, they wouldn¡¯t be able to see the other party clearly. that being said, the black shadow that was half the height of a person was most likely a creature that lived on this glacier. it seemed that they had been discovered by the owner of this place. they only wondered if the other party would welcome them or not.. Chapter 852 - Chapter 852: Black Shadow Demonic Beast chapter 852: black shadow demonic beast translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the next time the black shadow appeared, it was already several hours later. qin chen and the others silently watched the black shadow. only then did they see that the other party was covered in black hair, making them see the other party as a ball of shadow. ¡°who are you? how dare you trespass into the territory of elder xingchen?¡± ¡°who is elder xingchen?¡± qin chen didn¡¯t know who elder xingchen was, but listening to the demonic beast¡¯s tone, this place seemed to be the other party¡¯s nest. ¡°you guys are dead meat. elder xingchen will not let you off! he will turn you into ice sculptures in the endless frost and let you sleep here forever. even your primordial spirit will sink into a long slumber!¡± after saying this, the black shadow demonic beast quickly disappeared in front of qin chen and the others. before qin chen and the others could react, the space before them distorted. they had actually been walking in an illusion just now. only now did they truly see where they were. they were in a palace built on a glacier. it was completely made of ice and extremely sturdy. just a glance at it and one could feel its incomparable majesty. qin chen smiled. it seemed that the elder xingchen mentioned by the black shadow demonic beast was planning to meet them. they just realized that they had been in an illusion. if not for the appearance of the black shadow demonic beast, they would have likely been trapped in there for a long time. ¡°why are you here?¡± an ancient voice sounded. it was as if the owner of the voice had experienced countless years. then, they saw a figure walking out of the palace. he was wearing a white robe that shimmered with countless dazzling lights. it was as if the stars had been connected into a painting. it looked like a defensive magic item. none of them expected that elder xingchen would arrange the starry sea in such a manner and refine it on his robe. ¡°if you don¡¯t make things clear, you can stay here forever.¡± the moment elder xingchen spoke, there was endless pressure. it was hard to imagine how much he had gone through to reach his current realm, the peerless quasi-emperor realm. he was so powerful that the void was trembling slightly as his voice echoed in the glacier. seeing that elder xingchen was about to attack them, qin chen hurriedly said, ¡°we just want to pass by your precious land and have no other ill intentions. if you let us pass, we will be extremely grateful.¡± upon hearing this, elder xingchen burst out laughing. he looked at qin chen and mocked, ¡°i¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that easy for you to pass through here. either you leave your lives here or get lost right now. i don¡¯t want to see any of you here. this glacier doesn¡¯t welcome you!¡¯ ¡°could it be that the senior wants to reject our request?¡± they could not reach an agreement. god knows why elder xingchen was so stubborn. his eyes seemed to contain incomparably vast galaxies as he looked at qin chen and the others, seemingly having seen through all their secrets. he then said, ¡°if you want to pass, it¡¯s very easy. either you win against a fight with me, or you choose one of the two choices i have just given you..¡± Chapter 853 - Chapter 853: Elder Xingchen chapter 853: elder xingchen translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio as soon as elder xingchen finished speaking, the temperature of the glacier seemed to have dropped. the ice on the ground emitted frost, and the palace before everyone seemed to have become even more terrifying. dazzling light flashed as the stars appeared on the palace. it seemed that elder xingchen had a big scheme. to think his great path was related to the stars. he had refined a palace and his robe as aligned with the stars. even if elder xingchen didn¡¯t make a move and used only his palace to stop them, qin chen and the others wouldn¡¯t be able to take half a step forward. ¡°if you kneel and beg me, i might leave your corpses intact. after all, it¡¯s not easy to keep your corpses intact in this glacier. a single knock and an ice sculpture would simply shatter.¡± qin chen and the others glanced at the glacier beneath their feet. there were countless corpses of humans and demons frozen beneath them. their corpses were frozen in this glacier that had not melted for ten thousand years, sealed forever. this was what elder xingchen meant about having an intact corpse. some corpses were broken into pieces before they were frozen, but even their blood did not flow out. they were simply frozen, just like real ice sculptures. however, if the other party wanted qin chen and the others to give up, it wouldn¡¯t be that easy. qin chen smiled. even if there was a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead, they would still charge forward. as the saying goes, when the flood approaches bank up to keep it out. if what was blocking them was a mountain, they would flatten it. if what was before them was the ocean, they would fill it up. elder xingchen laughed as if thinking that qin chen and the others were overestimating their abilities to actually want to challenge him. in his opinion, they hadn¡¯t even reached great perfection of the god venerable realm yet, yet they dared to come here to seek death. god knows how many years had passed since he had broken through to the quasi-emperor realm. he was already incomparably powerful. in his eyes, these human cultivators were nothing more than a bunch of pitiful ants. to think they wanted to attack him. if this wasn¡¯t courting death, then what was ? ¡°since you want to die so badly, don¡¯t blame me for not holding back!¡± elder xingchen roared. his figure instantly grew and everyone felt as if they were about to be frozen. the temperature dropped by several folds. if they continued to stay here, even if elder xingchen did not make a move, the surroundings alone were almost enough to take their lives. the black shadow demonic beasts in the corner ran out in a dense crowd at this moment. there were thousands of them. they looked at qin chen and the others, and their eyes shone with a red light. it was extremely terrifying. in addition to their extremely exaggerated speed, it simply made them feel as if they were being targeted by the god of death. the flame-wing beast and the true dragon were ready for battle. so what if the other party was a quasi-emperor? since the other party wanted to fight, then they would! countless starlight appeared on elder xingchen¡¯s robe, and the entire glacier was lit up in an instant. the smooth surface of the ice reflected light. immediately after, the black shadow demonic beasts also began to move. their speed reached the extreme as they opened their bloody mouths and launched a surprise attack on qin chen and the others. the area was filled with black demonic beasts that swarmed forward. the cultivation realm of these demonic beasts was not high, but they were comparable to level 1 of the god venerable realm. if there were enough of them, they could even injure quasi-emperor-realm experts. as such, qin chen and the others didn¡¯t dare to be careless. otherwise, they might be the ones to die.. Chapter 854 - Chapter 854: Ten Stars chapter 854: ten stars translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio elder xingchen frowned slightly and snorted coldly, ¡°you¡¯re courting death!¡± just by not concealing his pressure, qin chen and others were having a hard time. after all, he was a genuine emperor-to-be. in this era when no one in the great cosmic had become a great emperor, quasi-emperors were the strongest. they were literally below one person and above tens of thousands of people. they were invincible and had supreme power. this terrifying pressure surged toward everyone like a tidal wave, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. ¡°attack!¡± qin chen roared in anger. he no longer had a choice but to kill this old undying bastard. so what if the other party was a quasi-emperor? he had killed more than ten quasi-emperors! now, qin chen still had a trump card in his hand. it was not impossible to kill the opponent. very soon qin chen poured his spiritual energy into the supreme heavenly origin armor and it shone brightly like a star. this was a magic item forged by an ancient great emperor. although it couldn¡¯t compare to an extreme emperor weapon, it wasn¡¯t something a mere quasi-emperor could break. thousands of worlds appeared in elder xingchen¡¯e eyes. all living beings seemed to be born and destroyed in his eyes. it was extremely mysterious. everywhere he saw, great terror descended. even a great perfection stage god venerable-realm expert would be severely injured. if they were just a little weaker, they might explode directly. ¡°those eyes are terrifying!¡± qin chen gave his evaluation. he chose to use his heart¡¯s eye to observe and let his primordial spirit leave his body. at this moment, even he didn¡¯t dare to look into the eyes of elder xingchen, because if he wasn¡¯t careful, he might die! everyone was so scared that their souls almost left their bodies. they were terrified. they did not look at the other party¡¯s eyes, but they were still seriously injured by the aftershock. elder xingchen had most likely cultivated a supernormal knowledge related to his eyes, and it was very powerful. it was very likely that it was a great emperor¡¯s scripture. ¡°since you¡¯re courting death, i¡¯ll grant you your wish!¡± with that, a bracelet appeared in the hands of elder xingchen and flew out. it floated horizontally in the air and evolved into ten stars that covered the sky. the ten stars pressed down on qin chen. this was a top-grade magic item that had been refined by elder xingchen for many years. fragments of planet cores had been refined within, which was why it was so powerful. the stars crashed into the mountains, and the earth shattered. however, qin chen was still intact. if it was a real star, he would have been killed, but unfortunately, this was only a magic item. it was unable to break through the defense of the supreme heavenly origin armor. ¡°you¡¯re not dead?¡± elder xingchen¡¯s expression changed slightly, ¡°the protective armor on you is very extraordinary.¡± he knew very well how powerful his ten-star magic item was, and to think they failed to kill a level 4 god venerable-realm human cultivator. the power of the treasured armor on the other party¡¯s body far exceeded his imagination. it was likely even more precious than his star bracelet. however, this only piqued elder xingchen¡¯s interest. in his eyes, qin chen was already a dead man for being disrespectful to him. killing qin chen would give him some opportunities. the former was simply like a treasure giver. elder xingchen roared, and the spiritual energy in his body almost condensed into a material substance, turning into a huge frosty hand that came toward qin chen, wanting to crush him to death. in less than an instant, the giant hand that was emitting extreme coldness had already arrived in front of qin chen. it grew bigger and bigger in his eyes. ¡°the treasure will only be a pearl covered in dust in your hands! since you delivered yourself to my door and refuse to take the easy way out, you deserve this end! killing you is like killing an ant! remember not to anger a quasi-emperor in your next life, or you will die even more miserably!¡± Chapter 855 - Chapter 855: Great Killing Weapon chapter 855: great killing weapon translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the terrifying power of the ten stars cracked the glacier. qin chen was not the least bit afraid when he saw elder xingchen rushing toward him. rather, his heart was as calm as the water in a well. he simply used the moving secret technique and retreated rapidly. with that, his speed actually caught up to the great rocs as he left behind a series of afterimages. unfortunately, the other party was a quasi-emperor and not an ordinary existence. elder xingchen raised his hand and bombarded qin chen. his palm transformed into a mountain peak that stretched for tens of thousands of miles. seeing this, everyone was shocked and worried about the elder king. ¡°shatter!¡± an ancient sword appeared in qin chen¡¯s hand. he poured the spiritual energy in his body into it and released a terrifying aura. in an instant, an indescribable feeling appeared in elder xingchen¡¯s heart. he lowered his head and pondered, ¡°it makes my heart palpitate. what is this?¡± if there was anything in this world that could make a quasi-emperor feel fear, it could only be a great emperor. this meant that the sword in the hand of this human cultivator might be an extreme emperor weapon, the weapon of an ancient great emperor! only in this way could the weapon have an aura that even alarmed him. ¡°a treasure!¡± he looked at qin chen with a fiery gaze. the extreme emperor weapon in qin chen¡¯s hand was revived. the innate sword embryo slashed out a terrifying sword embryo that cut through the void. the sword attack was extremely brutal, and it knocked back elder xingchen¡¯s palm. a wound appeared on his withered palm, and the sword energy within the wound destroyed his meridians. with this, elder xingchen was injured. he had been injured by a weakling at level 4 of the god venerable realm. even though the other party had borrowed the power of a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor, he was still shocked. this lad must not be left alive! now that they had already become enemies, qin chen would definitely seek revenge if elder xingchen allowed him to grow stronger. he had to kill the other party now that he was still weak. the feeling of exterminating a genius made elder xingchen thrilled. even if the other party¡¯s future was limitless, without life, it would be all for naught! elder xingchen once again used the star bracelet. the ten stars turned into huge phantoms, unprecedentedly powerful. they shattered the void and prevented qin chen from escaping. no quasi-emperor would be able to treat that extreme emperor weapon of an ancient great emperor with indifference. if elder xingchen could obtain it, his battle prowess would increase by countless folds. he would be able to establish an orthodoxy in the endless starry sky if he left with the weapon. as such, elder xingchen gathered all his power into the ten stars. this was his full-powered attack, and he didn¡¯t believe that the human cultivator could withstand it. even if the other party had an extraordinary defensive magic treasure, it couldn¡¯t save his life every time. the ten stars smashed toward qin chen again, and their power was even more terrifying, making people feel as if they were facing the obliteration of the cosmic. such a mighty force was even somewhat similar to the heavenly tribulation of the heavenly dao. unfortunately, elder xingchen didn¡¯t know that qin chen had already killed many quasi-emperors. many had been stronger than qin chen, but unfortunately, those people had all died at his hands. besides, qin chen still had the myriad demon primal catalog with him. at this point, he had to use it. he had two chances to use it, and he had already used it once. now, there was only one last chance left, just enough to kill this quasi-emperor-realm elder. following this, qin chen took out a catalog that gave off a terrifying aura from his spatial ring. this was a top-notch item refined by the heavenly demon great emperor. let alone one quasi-emperor, even ten quasi-emperors would definitely die in the face of such a weapon. this was no ordinary item.. it was qin chen¡¯s great killing weapon! Chapter 856 - Chapter 856: Destroy chapter 856: destroy translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio in an instant, elder xingchen could no longer remain calm. he could feel the threat of death, and it was coming from qin chen¡¯s hand. he used his quasi-emperor-realm eyes to look over, and it was as if he saw a majestic figure with demonic qi soaring into the skies. ¡°this¡­ what the f*ck is this?¡± at his level, he had an extremely accurate sense of life and death. this undoubtedly meant that whatever was in the hands of the human cultivator he thought was a weakling could pose a threat to him. ¡°could it be a forbidden artifact forged by a great emperor of the demon race?!¡± such a thing would only exist in the hands of the descendants of great emperors and would be used as a defensive foundation. it would most certainly not be left ownerless in the outside world. even quasi-emperors would die under such power. even if one was lucky enough to survive, one would be extremely pitiful. after all, one might lose one¡¯s physical body. no matter how hard elder xingchen tried, he couldn¡¯t sense any demon race aura from qin chen, so how did this thing end up in the latter¡¯s hands? ¡°i think we can sit down and have a good talk with each other,¡± elder xingchen¡¯s tone was sincere, giving off an amiable feeling. qin chen revealed a smile, his eyes incomparably cold, ¡°now you want to sit down and have a good talk? f*ck you!¡¯ it was too late! previously, the other party had been high and mighty and had declared that he would destroy qin chen and the others. but now, he said that he had no intention of fighting anymore. how could qin chen allow this? he had to satisfy the other party¡¯s initial request! ¡°suppress!¡± qin chen said softly and activated the terrifying magic item. killing a quasi-emperor would be as easy as stepping on an ant. ¡°friend, i have never killed in my life and mainly cultivate the dao of nature. i was just joking with you before. you must understand.¡± elder xingchen, who wanted to escape, discovered that the surrounding void had been sealed. he couldn¡¯t leave, so he began to try to yield to qin chen and lower his head. at the same time, he cursed in his heart. if not for the forbidden artifact, he could have easily crushed qin chen to death. he would¡¯ve let the other party experience what it meant to live a life worse than death! ¡°destroy!¡¯ the scripture burst with boundless divine light. a blurry shadow appeared, seemingly having returned from a distant time and space, reappearing in this world. mysterious dao runes were displayed and demonic qi circulated endlessly. the shadow cast was like a heavenly embodiment and stood tall. elder xingchen was terrified just looking at the shadow. he felt like he was going to die here. ¡°friend! if you spare my life, i¡¯m willing to show you my dao and give you the mystic ice spirit marrow buried under this glacier!¡± elder xingchen was simply a bully that bullied the weak and feared the strong! if qin chen agreed to let him go now, he might have already thought of ten thousand ways for qin chen to die. this was the human heart. in qin chen¡¯s opinion, it would be better to just kill him. ¡°if i kill you, i can still get the mystic ice spirit marrow. besides, what does your dao have to do with me? i cultivate a great emperor scripture, so why would i need to borrow your dao? don¡¯t tell me you think that your great path is even stronger than that of an ancient great emperor? with this, elder xingchen knew that qin chen would not let him off. his eyes were filled with hatred. ¡°in that case, do you mean you will kill me no matter what? i¡¯d like to see how powerful the forbidden artifact left behind by a great emperor of the past is, and if it¡¯s as terrifying and invincible as the legends say!¡¯ elder xingchen stepped on the glacier and fought his way up. he attacked with all his strength and did not dare to hold back. after all, this concerned whether he could survive or not.. Chapter 857 - Chapter 857: The Death of Elder Xingchen chapter 857: the death of elder xingchen translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio the phantom roared and stirred up a torrent. as a mark left behind by an ancient great emperor that was fused into the myriad demon primal catalog, it naturally contained the power of the ancient great emperor¡¯s strongest attack. although a lot of time had passed, its remaining power was still not something a quasi-emperor could hold against. elder xingchen was challenging the prestige of an ancient great emperor! the ten stars from the natal magic item he had refined shot out toward the phantom, just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. with one strike, the phantom shattered the ten stars and destroyed them completely. the magic item had been made of a huge planet core and various precious divine materials. it had also been nurtured by the quasi-emperor-realm elder xingchen for many years. yet, it could not withstand the phantom¡¯s attack! in an instant, elder xingchen spat out a mouthful of blood. his hair was disheveled and he no longer looked like a celestial. rather, he looked extremely miserable. ¡°i can¡¯t accept this!¡± elder xingchen was not willing to die here. he was a quasi-emperor, but to think he had ended up like this. others would sigh upon hearing his tale. to think he had died at the hands of a god venerable-realm junior and was killed without any ability to resist. ¡°you¡¯re very strong,¡± qin chen commented. many quasi-emperors wouldn¡¯t even have lasted until now. elder xingcheng should be proud of himself. when this sentence fell into the ears of elder xingchen, he was furious. no matter where he was, a quasi-emperor was an invincible existence in the world. how was it that he became a blade of grass on the roadside when it came to qin chen? it sounded like more than one quasi-emperor had died at his hands. if this news were to spread out, it would probably shock the entire world. the people in the outer cosmic could not imagine that a god venerable-realm expert had killed several quasi-emperors, albeit with the help of external items. this would cause endless waves of shock! the phantom attacked again. the attack was vicious and shattered the body of elder xingchen with a punch. he vomited blood as his internal organs were injured. countless fist shadows reversed as great demonic dharma idols appeared, instantly blowing up elder xingchen. with this, elder xingchen, a quasi-emperor, was beaten to death in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. blood mist sprayed in the air and his bones turned into powder before scattering on the glacier. at the same time, the myriad demon primal catalog in qin chen¡¯s hand lost its power. the scripture disintegrated into starlight and disappeared. ¡°is he dead?¡± the flame-wing beast and the others were shocked. such an expert among quasi-emperors was killed! if the news spread, it would probably shake the entire demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. the death of a quasi-emperor would be unbelievable to many. after all, that was the realm below the great emperor realm! unless one partys strength completely crushed the other, they could only be defeated and not killed. qin chen swallowed some natural treasures, allowing his wounds to heal. now, he could go and find the mystic ice spirit marrow under the glacier. no wonder elder xingchen was hiding in this place. it turned out that the mystic ice spirit marrow had been born under this glacier. it was said that quasi-emperors had once fought a bloody battle for it, causing the death of several quasi-emperors. the mystic ice spirit marrow was immeasurably useful to quasi-emperors. everyone followed qin chen and entered the depths of the glacier. when the black shadow demonic beasts saw the death of elder xingchen, they were all scared out of their wits and ran away. they were afraid that qin chen and the others would settle the score with them. below the glacier, everyone felt an extreme chill that seemed to freeze their blood.. Chapter 858 - Chapter 858: Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow chapter 858: mystic ice spirit marrow translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°it¡¯s so cold!¡± the big scorpion was shivering from the cold. the temperature below had already reached the extreme. only such a strange place could give birth to something like the mystic ice spirit marrow that quasi-emperors would fight for. the flame-wing beast discovered that its fire spirit body seemed to be suppressed in the ice cave. the cold air could also hurt people as it gradually seeped into their bodies. seeing this, qin chen quickly moved forward. they were getting closer to the mystic ice spirit marrow. soon, their field of vision widened. many icicles appeared, seemingly having existed for a thousand years. they were extremely hard, comparable to some ordinary magic items. this place was definitely not that simple. there must be a great background behind it. otherwise, it would not have attracted a quasi-emperor to cultivate here. it was a pity that after they killed elder xingchen, they had no way of knowing what the deal with the place was. if they could¡¯ve obtained his soul fragment, they might¡¯ve been able to learn many secrets. the myriad demon primal catalog was too powerful. it had killed elder xingchen directly and not even a strand of his hair was left behind. he had been beaten into a bloody mist. qin chen and the others went deeper into the ice cave. ¡®elder king, i feel like i can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± even a celestial cultivator might die in the cave if they were not careful in the face of such terrifying cold air. the true dragon could barely hold on for a while longer, but the big scorpion, holy maiden mu xue, and the others had weaker cultivations, so they couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. ¡°look! what¡¯s that?¡± just then, a bright light appeared in the distance. it was as dazzling as the galaxy. this couldn¡¯t be the mystic ice spirit marrow that elder xingchen had mentioned, right? finally, they found the peerless treasure. even quasi-emperor-realm experts could improve after refining it. that should be it! qin chen placed his hand on it and immediately felt a surging chill. it was actually slowly increasing the strength of his soul. at the same time, his physical body was also absorbing some kind of indescribable substance and undergoing a transformation. one had to know that his current physical body was already incomparably powerful. no one in the same realm was his match, and he had crushed powerful enemies. yet now, the crystal was still able to transform his body. this was enough to prove that this treasure was extremely precious. no wonder even quasi-emperors were willing to bleed and fight for it. qin chen dug out the mystic ice spirit marrow, which was a hundred meters long. then, he divided it into six equal parts, giving everyone each a piece. when they felt the extraordinary fluctuation, all of them gasped. after that, qin chen began to refine the mystic ice spirit marrow, and the others everyone sat down cross-legged to do the same. refining the mystic ice spirit marrow under the glacier would help them absorb it. when everyone had finished refining, they had all improved quite a bit. most of the power had been absorbed by their bodies and turned into their foundations. it would help them become stronger when they cultivated in the future. this was the only piece of mystic ice spirit marrow that had been nurtured in the entire glacier. it would¡¯ve been enough to cause a sensation in the outside world. no one had ever seen such a big piece of mystic ice spirit marrow before. even a quasi-emperor who had been cultivating for many years would be tempted. now, it was time to leave. there were no more treasures down there. qin chen led everyone through the glacier. they didn¡¯t encounter any demonic beasts along the way. it was probably because the death of the elder xingchen had created a great deterrent force, scaring many living beings away and making them not dare to stay here.. Chapter 859 - Chapter 859: Eighteen Thousand Fate chapter 859: eighteen thousand fate translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio after qin chen and the others walked for a long time, they noticed what seemed to be a forest in the distance. in the forest, there was a tall tower that reached straight into the sky like a mountain peak. just looking at it, one¡¯s heart trembled. it was unknown who cultivated there. when qin chen and the others entered the forest, they realized that something was wrong. there were no other living beings here, only some trees and flowers. god knows where the living beings here had gone. they walked towards the tower since they could not go around if they wanted to pass through the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. this was the shortest route. when qin chen and the others walked to the vicinity of the tower, they discovered a horizontal board hanging on the tower. the words ¡°lingyuan temple¡± were carved deep in the wood. ¡°lingyuan temple?¡± why would a buddhist temple tower suddenly appear here? it was almost impossible for humans to appear in the depths of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. could it be that there were demonic beasts who also believed in buddhism? it wasn¡¯t impossible. ¡°am i seeing things?¡± the big scorpion¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. this was not human territory, yet there was a buddhist temple hereo it was even more terrifying and unbelievable than mars crashing into the nine heavens and ten lands. lingyuan temple was silent. it was unknown if there was anyone inside. as qin chen and the others approached, the door automatically opened as if it had predicted their arrival. the tower was extremely huge, and its building materials were all very precious divine materials that could automatically attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. a bald monk walked out from the door and greeted qin chen and the others with an ¡°amitabha¡±. he then said, ¡°patrons, please come in. our abbot has long told us to prepare to receive you.¡± the bald monk had a peaceful expression, more genuine than a real monk. qin chen and the others were quite puzzled, but they still followed him into the tower. the interior of the tower was a completely different world, spanning a thousand miles. it looked like a paradise. it was likely that this was an internal space created by a mighty figure. ¡°everyone, follow me.¡± qin chen and the others walked over and entered one of the halls. ¡°master, they are already here.¡± a red-robed monk with some kind of light glowing behind his head smiled, ¡°patrons, i¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time! i am the abbot of lingyuan temple?¡¯ qin chen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°how did you know that we would come here?¡± could it be that these monks could even predict the death of elder xingchen? if one thought about it carefully, it was extremely shocking. this kind of foresight ability was simply mysterious and powerful. ¡°buddha said that such mysteries are not to be revealed. however, buddha and you are fated.¡± after saying that, the old monk took out a box, ¡°if you donate money, you can obtain the fate of buddha. it¡¯s wonderful beyond words!¡± the big scorpion¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°old monk, are you here to ask us to pay? the red-robed monk did not get angry. instead, he smiled and said, ¡°amitabha, please refrain from saying such foul words. i have just said that you are fated with buddha. this is a great opportunity that others can¡¯t even dream of. since there is an auspicious aura on you, you must have many treasures. the more you donate, the more opportunities you will get.¡± everyone¡¯s expressions turned ugly. it seemed that the old monk was determined to ask them to donate money. no one believed him when he said that they could obtain as much buddhist fate as they donated. ¡°may i ask how much is appropriate?¡± qin chen asked, wanting to know more information. ¡°if you are fated with buddha, 18,000. someone once donated 180,000 top-notch fated items and became a buddha with his physical body. he could rival a quasi-emperor. a single strand of fate is equivalent to a heaven-grade natural treasure..¡± Chapter 860 - Chapter 860: Bloody Disaster chapter 860: bloody disaster translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio hearing this, qin chen and the others were instantly incredulous. they couldn¡¯t help but feel that this old monk was too good at deceiving people. if one could become a buddha with one¡¯s physical body so easily and be comparable to quasi-emperors, wouldn¡¯t the world be in chaos? ¡°buddha is merciful. the treasures on you are all fated with buddha.¡± qin chen frowned. the treasures he had were probably more than all the quasi-emperors combined. could it be that he could straight away become a buddha emperor if he donated them? what kind of joke was this? although there had been buddhist ancient great emperors in history, no one dared to say that they could definitely make someone an emperor. ¡°what if we don¡¯t donate?¡± qin chen asked calmly. the red-robed monk put his palms together, ¡°amitabha. patrons, i see that the area between your eyebrows is shrouded in a dark aura. i¡¯m afraid there will be a bloody disaster! if you are willing, buddha will definitely ensure your safety. there¡¯s no hurry though. patrons, please stay! i believe that all of you will surely change your mind.¡± with that, a few monks walked over. they seemed extremely powerful and respectfully invited qin chen and the others to leave. until now qin chen still didn¡¯t know what kind of place lingyuan temple was. if it was some reclusive orthodoxy, why would it appear in the depths of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground? there must be something fishy going on. what they were sure of was that this buddhist temple was not simple. it was definitely not what they saw on the surface. ¡°patrons, this is your room.¡± ¡°hey, are you trying to snatch our things? if that i s the case, just get straight to the point. don¡¯t play tricks behind my back!¡± the big scorpion would never hand over his treasures even if he was beaten to death. he wouldn¡¯t even take out a single spirit stone unless he died. the monks who were leading the way looked at each other and shook their heads at the big scorpion. ¡°don¡¯t say any more evil words or something unpredictable will happen. this is the pure land of buddhist dharma, and it doesn¡¯t tolerate any filth. if there¡¯s nothing else, everyone should rest early.¡± without waiting for the big scorpion to clamor anymore, the monks all left. qin chen then started to size up the place. he looked at each bed and saw that they were all made. still, he felt that something was off. when he entered the state of the union of heaven and man, he finally saw something shocking. the neat blankets seemed to have become thinner and there was a strong stench. it should be the skin of some kind of creature? ¡°everyone, there seems to be a problem here.¡± qin chen recounted what he had seen and continued to scan every inch of the room. there was a transparent teapot on the table, but the tea leaves inside had become the internal organs of some living creature that had been cut into thin slices. the clear tea was extremely turbid as if blood was mixed in it. the chairs were actually made of bones, and there were still traces of flesh and blood on the bones, as well as many uneven marks like teeth marks. blood splattered on the snow-white walls, looking quite fresh as if the blood had just been splattered not long ago. all of this was seen by qin chen through the state of the union of heaven and man. ordinary people definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to discover it. ¡°demon monk!¡± the big scorpion was shocked. he took a few steps back, afraid that he would touch something terrifying. ¡°i knew there was something wrong here!¡± qin chen said to everyone, ¡°i¡¯m afraid that if we continue to stay here, there will be some possibility of death. don¡¯t touch anything in this room.¡± at that point) there seemed to be a scream outside the door, accompanied by the sound of sharpening knives. this made everyone lose their calm. they could not tell that this tower had such a secret.. Chapter 861 - Chapter 861: Demon Temple chapter 861: demon temple translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio ¡°elder king, why don¡¯t we kill our way out?¡± the big scorpion suggested that they might be able to catch those monks off guard. ¡°let¡¯s wait and see. don¡¯t be anxious. they will give themselves away.¡± the current situation was not the worst. perhaps it would not be long before something even more dangerous appeared in the tower. they should first see what the monks are up to. qin chen sent out a wisp of his spiritual will. the secrets here were huge, and the problems here were also huge. at the very least, if an ordinary person came, they might not be able to leave. through his spiritual will, qin chen saw that the red-robed monk was outside another room. the monk beside him dragged out a man who had been badly mutilated and tortured beyond recognition. the monk stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth. another monk handed a sharpened saber to the red-robed monk, ¡°abbot! please bless him and lead the way for him!¡± ¡°the light of buddha should shine in every corner of the world. since you are unwilling to convert and believe in buddha, i can only guide you to buddha!¡± the red-robed monk began to recite the scriptures. the scriptures seemed to have a special magic that made the man kneel in front of him. puff! his head was chopped off by the red-robed monk and then chopped into countless pieces, dripping with blood. the monks at the side were extremely fanatical as they knelt and chanted scriptures. fresh blood drenched the ground, and the organs were collected. the pieces of meat were placed into separate alms bowls, the whole scene appearing extremely evil. ¡°hurry up and tidy up. don¡¯t miss the time!¡± with that, the monks stood up and left with the alms bowls in their hands. it seemed that they were going to complete something. the red-robed monk threw down the long saber in his hand and let out a long sigh. his expression was a little ugly. then, he seemed to have discovered something and looked around. ¡°who is it?¡± even though qin chen¡¯s spiritual will was well hidden, it was still discovered by the red-robed monk. the red-robed monk struck out with his palm, destroying qin chen¡¯s spiritual will. he smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°buddha is merciful. only those who are fated and know the times can enter the spirited mountain and listen to the teachings of buddha to find the great path!¡± qin chen¡¯s eyes flew open. ¡°that old monk doesn¡¯t seem human!¡± at the very least, qin chen couldn¡¯t see any spiritual power on him. the other party¡¯s power was closer to the demonic power of the demon race. was the entire lingyuan temple made up of demons? no wonder this place was so strange. so it was a demon temple! the buddha they were talking about should be unorthodox. it had nothing to do with the authentic buddha. if the real buddhist sects saw this scene, they would most certainly send people to encircle this place. there was no need for an evil buddha to exist. the door suddenly opened and a monk walked in, carrying a tray of vegetarian dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. ¡°patrons, you must be hungry. this is the temple¡¯s vegetarian meal. although it¡¯s not delicious, it can increase one¡¯s cultivation prowess to a certain extent.¡± the monk put down the plate, wiped his mouth, and left. there seemed to be some oil left on the corner of his mouth. everyone looked at the vegetarian dishes. ¡°elder king, what exactly is inside?¡± the big scorpion did not have the guts to eat the food here. qin chen said quietly, ¡°stir-fried human liver.¡± hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces turned pale in fear. to think it was a human liver! on top of that, it looked like it was taken out not long ago and was still fresh! ¡®elder king, are you saying that this is not a vegetarian dish, but a human internal organ? on the surface, it looked just like a vegetarian dish.. but in reality, there was a lot of blood in it! Chapter 862 - Chapter 862: Hall chapter 862: hall translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio qin chen and the others all felt quite disgusted. they did not expect that such evil was hidden in this demon temple. on the surface, it looked like an orthodox buddhism sect, but the truth surprised them and was quite unbelievable. as expected, there was nothing normal in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. ¡®elder king, what should we do now?¡± fear welled up in the big scorpion¡¯s heart. he had felt that this demon temple was not that simple. now, it seemed that it was true. there was a huge deviation from what they thought. ¡°let¡¯s wait and see what that old monk wants to do.¡± after saying that, qin chen closed his eyes and began to cultivate. he wasn¡¯t worried about what those monks would do. at least until they fell out with each other, they were still relatively safe. thinking of this, qin chen began to circulate the twelve cycles in his body. he absorbed the spiritual energy in the world to slowly increase his cultivation prowess. at this point, he had already swallowed an unknown number of natural treasures. the reason why his body had not transformed yet was because it was still accumulating energy. if he wanted to break through, he could have done so long ago. however, he wanted to break through naturally, not forcefully. to put it simply, he was building his foundation. only when his foundation became more solid could he go further. everyone looked at the food in front of them and did not dare to eat. they sat to the side one after another. they did not dare to touch the things in this room at all. thinking about it carefully, they realized that there were a total of eight beds in this room. but there were female cultivators among them. normally, two rooms would be prepared for them. yet now, only one room was prepared for all of them. this was enough to explain the problem. this was definitely not the buddhist temples they knew. a question had been bugging qin chen: since this temple was not what they had seen, what kind of buddha were they worshipping? all of them stayed on guard and did not dare to relax at all. after having a hard time waiting for the next day to come, a monk walked in and saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched. he was a little surprised, but he immediately understood that qin chen and the others were extremely vigilant. he took the dishes away and told them that the abbot was waiting for them in the hall. qin chen slowly opened his eyes. the demon monk had already left. now, they had to go to the hall. if they didn¡¯t go, it was very likely that the current situation would become even worse. unless it was absolutely necessary, qin chen was unwilling to fall out with the abbot. after all, he did not have any trump cards in his hands yet. with their current power, if there was a quasi-emperor here, they might die here, or their corpses might be made into food for the next person to enter the temple. thinking it through, qin chen stood up and led everyone to the hall. the entire temple was very quiet, and one could even smell the fragrance of burning sandalwood. from time to time, bell chimes would echo as if this was a temple located in a pure land. if qin chen and the others hadn¡¯t come into contact with those demon monks, perhaps they wouldn¡¯t have discovered anything. under the guidance of a demon monk, they finally arrived at the main hall. there were countless buddha statues in the hall.. Chapter 863 - Chapter 863: Uncleansed Sadindriya chapter 863: uncleansed sadindriya translator: nyoi-bo studio editor: nyoi-bo studio from afar, qin chen and the others could see the red-robed monk kneeling on the praying mat. this was the abbot who had asked them to donate treasures yesterday. to put it bluntly, he wanted to take their treasures for free. ¡°patrons, did you sleep well last night?¡± the red-robed monk spoke slowly. his body emitted a peaceful aura, like an accomplished monk. however, his face was gloomy, making people feel depressed. no matter what, qin chen and the others couldn¡¯t feel close to him. qin chen said lightly, ¡°we slept very well last night. it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve had such a relaxing rest.¡± the red-robed monk sitting on the futon laughed and continued. ¡°in that case, can you tell me your answers now? do you want to donate and obtain buddhist fate? lingyuan temple is considered the branch of an ancient buddhist orthodoxy sect. many years ago, an eminent monk who established the temple left leiyin temple to accept the enlightenment of buddha in the spirited mountain. he chose to come to the demon race to spread the buddhist dharma.¡± ¡°if my fellow patrons are willing to offer your treasures to buddha, i believe your cultivation will surely be able to improve. your physical body becoming buddha is not impossible. at that time, you would even have the strength to fight quasi-emperors.¡± the red-robed monk guided them patiently, constantly reminding qin chen to quickly take out all the treasures they had. his voice was not loud, but it had a special magic that made people subconsciously want to believe and convert. the bell chimes in the temple also infected everyone¡¯s minds. ¡°there¡¯s something wrong with his voice. he seems to have cultivated some kind of secret technique that targets the soul, and his cultivation prowess is not low either,¡± qin chen sent a voice transmission to everyone. he had already sensed the changes within, so he told everyone to guard their minds. if the other party¡¯s cultivate attainment wasn¡¯t so high, his voice wouldn¡¯t have had such an obvious effect that even qin chen was affected. if it were some ordinary person, they might already be crying bitterly and kneeling while kowtowing, willing to become a monk. this also showed that this problematic buddhist temple had begun to bare its fangs and reveal its cruelness. qin chen said sincerely, ¡°abbot, i suddenly feel a force in my heart. it seems to be guiding me to approach buddha. if i could have come into contact with an accomplished monk like you earlier, i would certainly have entered the embrace of buddhism earlier. i suddenly feel that the path i¡¯ve taken all these years has been a detour.¡± everyone turned pale with fright. the elder king had just reminded them not to believe the words of that old monk) so why did he suddenly seem to have changed into a different person? could it be that he had been bewitched by this old monk? if that was the case, then they could only kill their way out. under qin chen¡¯s gaze, the red-robed monk stood up from the futon. he was so happy that he put his palms together. he couldn¡¯t hide his excitement. he had long since noticed that qin chen and the others were extraordinary. they definitely had many precious treasures. ¡°amitabha. patron, your sadindriya is uncleansed and you have too many worldly possessions that don¡¯t belong to you. you didn¡¯t have them when you were born, and you can¡¯t bring them with you when you die. buddha is willing to cut off the fetters of the mortal world for you.¡± he stared at qin chen as if he could already see the latter respectfully placing his treasures into his hands. ¡°no! abbot) i just thought of another problem. since my sadindriya is uncleansed¡­. Chapter 864 - Chapter 864: A Few Dozen Quasi-emperors? Chapter 864: A Few Dozen Quasi-emperors? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Looks like I still am not fated with Buddha. When I return, it should be the best time for me to convert to Buddhism. Oh right, I still have some unfinished business. More than a dozen quasi-emperors want to kill me. I swear on the Great Path that I¡¯m not lying. When I am done with these matters, I will return and convert to Buddhism. I hope that the abbot will grant my wish.¡± The red-robed monk¡¯s expression changed abruptly because he could feel that everything Qin Chen said was true. How could this be? Could it be that Qin Chen wasn¡¯t affected by his soul attack? Yet, his current attitude had changed a lot from before. His sincerity could not be any more genuine. ¡°This¡­¡± The red-robed monk had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Qin Chen. ¡°Could it be that abbot is willing to help me kill those quasi-emperors? If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll thank the abbot first. I believe that Buddha will surely find you a devout pilgrim.¡± Everyone could not help but laugh in their hearts, though they did not show it on their faces. It seemed that the Elder King had not been bewitched. Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave this damn place. Even if the entire demon temple was sacrificed, they probably wouldn¡¯t be enough to deal with a dozen quasi-emperors. The red-robed monk waved his hand impatiently. ¡°Well¡­ Let¡¯s talk about this later. Give me all the things that are fated with Buddha first. I¡¯ll take care of them for you.¡± ¡°As long as the abbot is willing to kill the quasi-emperors after me in my stead, I will dedicate my entire life to Buddha.¡± The red-robed monk grimaced. He could never imagine how Qin Chen, a God Venerable-realm cultivator, managed to provoke over ten quasi-emperors and not die. Even a quasi-emperor might not have the courage to provoke more than ten existences of the same realm. After all, one would be besieged and killed in an instant. Yet, this guy in front of him had achieved such a feat. ¡°Stop playing tricks!¡± The red-robed abbot turned aggressive, ¡°I order you to hand over everything you have on you!¡¯ His voice was like a loud bell, and it was impossible to tell that he was the abbot of a temple. ¡°Haha! My sadindriya is uncleansed. I hope that abbot can help me kill those dozen or so quasi-emperors.¡± ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t intend to hand your treasures over.¡± The red-robed monk gripped the Buddhist bead bracelet in his hand. The cassock on his body also turned bright red while the surrounding temperature dropped significantly. ¡°I never said I wouldn¡¯t hand them over, but you have to help me get rid of those quasi-emperors first.¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re playing with me!¡± The monk in red was furious. A cold smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. He never believed that the old monk would be willing to help him eliminate his enemies. After all, there were countless experts in the nine Heavens and ten lands who were waiting for him to return and kill him. Since the monk was no longer pretending, they were equivalent to having fallen out with each other. There was no need for them to hold back any longer then. ¡°Men! All of you, attack! Capture these heretics! There is no Buddha in their hearts. They are the filth under the Buddhist light that needs to be wiped away!¡¯ With that, countless monks suddenly appeared outside the hall. It was as if they had been hiding there since the beginning of the day, waiting in the dark for the red-robed monk to give the order before rushing out and killing everyone. This also confirmed that these guys were not good people. At the very least, they had nothing to do with Buddhism, not even the slightest bit.. Chapter 865 - Chapter 865: Fallout Chapter 865: Fallout Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A real Buddhist cultivator would surely be furious if he was here and he would eradicate all these unorthodox ways. No wonder these people hid in the depths of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. As long as they dared to reveal their true appearance outside, they would attract calamity. Qin Chen and the others were prepared for a great battle. Since gentle methods did not work and the old monk refused to let them go, they could only kill their way out. ¡°We can¡¯t let any of them off!¡± The red-robed monk rotated his Buddhism beads and waved his sleeve. Countless monks rushed forward under his command. They held all kinds of weapons while flocking over like a swarm of bees. They surrounded Qin Chen and the others like a black tide. The strength of these demon monks was probably only in the God Venerable realm. To Qin Chen and the others, as long as no quasi-emperors were backing them up, they wouldn¡¯t pose any threat. After all, they could even escape from the hands of quasi-emperors, so this was not enough to scare them. These monks seemed to think that they were but naive and weak cultivators. ¡°Take them down. I want to torture them personally. I¡¯ll let them know what it means when they say that wherever Buddha¡¯s light goes, the land will be pure! Catch them and lock them in the dungeon!¡± With this, the eyes of countless monks lit up with a red light, which was quite a terrifying scene. They charged over like crazy. Qin Chen didn¡¯t hold back anymore. He gave the order to everyone that they would kill their way out today. There was a saying that there had originally been no paths in the martial world, but if one killed enough, a path would be made. The demon monks attacked one after another, causing the spiritual energy in the air to become somewhat chaotic. Their moves were very ruthless, and they looked like they were giving their lives to fight. Qin Chen held the innate sword embryo and poured his spiritual energy into this extreme emperor weapon, reviving it. Instantly, all the monks felt extremely uneasy. They seemed to have sensed some kind of danger, and this danger came from Qin Chen¡¯s hands. The innate sword embryo released a powerful pressure, making it feel as if Lingyuan Temple had welcomed the descent of an unfathomable and terrifying existence. Qin Chen slashed out with his sword and the void was shattered. Countless monks were cut into two by the sword attack. ¡°What is this?¡± The red-robed monk was extremely shocked. The cassock on his body burst with light. It seemed to be a defensive magic weapon that automatically blocked the terrifying sword energy for him. His heart was immediately filled with greed, and his eyes were burning with desire. If he could take down in Chen, that terrifying longsword would be his spoils of war. ¡°Since you have so many secrets. why don¡¯t we use them to preserve your life? Perhaps if you hand over this sword, I might let you leave this place.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked at the monk and cursed, ¡°You evil thing who can¡¯t even show himself in broad daylight! Why don¡¯t you hurry up and let me kill you?¡± The monk in red snorted coldly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to keep them alive. Kill all of them and feed their corpses to the dogs. I want to use their primordial spirits to light the ancient Buddhism lamps! The lamps will burn for thousands of years and they will never enter the cycle of reincarnation!¡± Under the siege of the demon monks, only then did Qin Chen and the others realize that these guys weren¡¯t the least bit intimidated by the dead bodies. Instead, they were charging forward even more fearlessly. There must be something wrong with this.. Chapter 866 - Chapter 866: Caged Battle Chapter 866: Caged Battle Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Could it be that these guys were all controlled by that red-robed monk? They knew that they were sending themselves to their deaths, but they became even more fearless. Even demons would not be so crazy. It seemed that if Qin Chen and the others wanted to break out of this predicament, they had to get rid of that red-robed monk. Otherwise, they would have to kill all these monks before they could leave. The flame-wing beast transformed back into its original form, a huge fierce beast. It spat out burning flames that burned some monks to ashes, but more monks pounced on it. The true dragon also transformed back into its huge dragon body. It sent many monks sinking into the ground with a Divine Dragon Tail, killing them on the spot. Even the big scorpion was also fighting with all his might, slashing with his saber. ¡°I advise you to obediently accept your death and stop struggling!¡¯ The red-robed monk did not seem to be affected by this bloody scene. Instead, he became even more calm. It seemed that he still had something up his sleeve that he had not used. Qin Chen was shocked because he discovered that the dead demon monks could stand up and fight bravely again even if their hearts were shattered unless their bodies were completely destroyed. They were like undead who had been resurrected. ¡°These demon monks are no longer human. They have long lost their lives. Even the souls in their bodies are probably not their own. They might even be puppets.¡± Qin Chen looked at the few demon monks rushing toward him. He closed his eyes and entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man, then slashed out with the innate sword embryo in his hand. In an instant, the ground cracked open for a thousand miles. Those monks were directly cut in half. Their upper and lower halves were separated, and their internal organs fell out. However, there was not much blood, which made Qin Chen believe his guess even more. The opponents they were facing were no longer human. ¡°Damn it!¡± Even the corpses that had lost their lower bodies but still had intact torsos sent out blade lights and sword auras toward Qin Chen. Although the monks were not very powerful and most of them were only at the first level of the God Venerable realm, Qin Chen¡¯s heart still palpitated when facing them. If they continued to fight, they would have to chop all the corpses into pieces. Otherwise, they would have to face an endless stream of attacks. At this point, even a great perfection stage God Venerable-realm expert would be exhausted to death here. Even if they could survive, they would already be seriously injured. At that time, it would give the red-robed monk an excellent opportunity to make a move. He definitely had other methods that he had not used. ¡°I gather that you won¡¯t give up until you see that it¡¯s hopeless. To me, killing all of you is nothing more than wasting more time! You¡¯re fighting like a trapped beast, how majestic is that? Very well, l i ll fulfill your wish.¡± The monk in red stomped. With a boom, a light appeared under everyone¡¯s feet. It was actually an array. The blood-red light enveloped them, turning Lingyuan Temple into a hellish scene. The bodies of the monks that had been chopped into pieces began to be pieced together. In just a few breaths, they were standing in front of them again, laughing sinisterly. ¡°All of you¡­ None of you can escape. All of you must die!¡± The monks all shouted the word ¡°die¡±. Their voices joined and actually complemented the array.. Chapter 867 - Chapter 867: Sea-like Demon Buddha Chapter 867: Sea-like Demon Buddha Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen and the others¡¯ minds descended into chaos and it seemed that they were on the verge of losing control of their natural instincts. They were gradually falling into madness. If this continued, their souls might be destroyed. They were already being affected now. The bloodthirsty thoughts in their hearts could not be suppressed. It was like dry wood that had been ignited, burning with raging flames. Only by killing could they recover some of their rationality, but this would only make them fall into endless slaughter. Those monks were not living people. No matter how they killed them, they could not be destroyed. If this continued, Qin Chen and the others would be the ones who would be finished. It was like cutting meat with a blunt knife. Although it would not kill one immediately, one would continuously bleed until one fell into endless weakness and was at the mercy of others. Their life and death would ultimately fall into the hands of the red-robed monk. ¡°How is it? If this continues, I believe that you won¡¯t be able to hold on for long!¡± When the monk in red saw this scene, he laughed out loud. He could not stop trembling as if he had gone crazy. ¡°This is the truth behind Lingyuan Temple. To be honest, you guys were too stubborn. Originally, I only wanted the treasures in your hands, but now I¡¯ve changed my mind. I¡¯ll make each and every one of you will wish you were dead. After I torture you until you break down, you will regret being born into this world! Only in this way can I feel a little joy.¡± The monk in red placed a hand on his face, then looked at Qin Chen through the gaps of his fingers and said word by word. ¡°Mountain-like Demon Buddha!¡± With that, it was as if the group of demon monks had lost control of their bodies. They were all stunned on the spot while the array under their feet erupted with power, wrapping them up. A dark red armor that looked like a boulder appeared on their bodies. Apart from being bald, they looked no different from some demonic path cultivators. Their defensive power seemed to have suddenly increased by countless times. Although Qin Chen and the others were constantly attacking, they felt a great obstruction. This was due to the dark red armor on the monks. It looked to be a certain type of stone. ¡°Break! ¡± Qin Chen roared in rage. The innate sword embryo in his hand burst out with extremely terrifying sword energy. With a slash of his sword, the bodies of many monks exploded. The red-robed monk lowered his head and continued to laugh as he shouted. ¡°Sea-like Demon Buddha!¡± In a short while, the monks seemed to have joined together. All of them squeezed together and when their auras erupted, it was as if they had cultivated some kind of joint attack battle formation. Qin Chen and the others¡¯ attacks were like stones sinking into the ocean, not effective in the slightest. From this, it could be seen how powerful the monks¡¯ joint attack formation was. It could divide the attacks evenly before landing on their bodies, thus achieving a continuous battle. Qin Chen felt a little uneasy. The other party was like an ancient fierce beast, devouring all of their attacks and converting them into their own power. In other words, the more powerful Qin Chen and the others¡¯ attacks were, the more terrifying their opponent would become. Under such circumstances, it was as if they were fighting with themselves and could never win. However, no time was left for them now. Even if they did not attack) the battle formation formed by the monks would not let them off and would continue to attack them. ¡°It seems that the real danger comes from that old monk.¡± Qin Chen already had a plan in his heart. He wanted to try to attack the red-robed monk to see if the latter had any weaknesses. If he guessed correctly, he might be able to find a way to break out of this situation.. Chapter 868 - Chapter 868: Great Dead Soul Chain Technique Chapter 868: Great Dead Soul Chain Technique Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The monk in red was still sneering when he saw Qin Chen rushing toward him. Facing Qin Chen¡¯s attack) the monk was surprised and his eyes were filled with shock. However, Qin Chen could see the excitement in the monk¡¯s eyes. It was as if a prey was about to fall into a trap that had been prepared in advance. ¡°You have guts!¡¯ The ground began to tremble as if something terrifying was about to erupt. As the monk in red roared, he slapped the ground under his feet. Chains that were in between half-illusory and half-real appeared and sealed the space in front of them. If Qin Chen insisted on attacking, he would be injured. ¡°Is this your trump card?¡± Although Qin Chen had seen a lot of the world, his intuition told him that these chains were not as ordinary as they looked. ¡°Come here!¡± The red-robed monk controlled the iron chain to lock onto Qin Chen, wanting to take him down. The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen¡¯s hand erupted with terrifying power, but it was unable to break through the chains in a short time. This should be due to his strength and realm. If a quasi-emperor used an extreme emperor weapon, half of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground would probably be destroyed. ¡°Looks like I¡¯m still too weak.¡± However, if one knew that Qin Chen had only cultivated for less than half a century, how many people would be shocked? The red-robed monk was also shocked because he saw that Qin Chen¡¯s speed was so fast that he couldn¡¯t keep up. Using the Moving Secret Technique, Qin Chen¡¯s speed was almost comparable to the great rocs. If one did not cross the void, it was impossible to catch up to him. ¡°Dead Soul Chains Grand Magic!¡¯ The monk¡¯s cassock was torn apart, revealing his original appearance. Short black hair grew out of his body while his height soared. It was actually a level 9 God Venerable-realm black bear! Countless chains expanded and struck Qin Chen. If he was hit, the consequences would be very serious. Qin Chen could feel that the chains seemed to be able to strip away a person¡¯s soul. Even he wasn¡¯t sure if the Supreme Heavenly Origin Armor on his body could withstand it. After all, this was an attack that targeted the soul. ¡°How far can you run?¡± The black bear¡¯s eyes emitted a red light. The moment he transformed back into his true form, the monks went crazy. They all turned into demonic beasts. They revealed many demon race characteristics, but none of them could return to their original appearance. The pressure on the true dragon and the others suddenly increased because the strength of the demon monks had also increased a lot. Everyone could only hold on bitterly. They swallowed natural treasures to alleviate the loss of spiritual energy in their bodies. Behind Qin Chen, iron chains kept chasing after him. If he stopped, he would be hit. Qin Chen gripped the innate sword embryo and condensed countless waves of sword energy, turning his surroundings into an unbreakable sword domain. In the sword domain, sharp sword energies swept across, blocking the chains. ¡°Can you escape? The ferocious black bear roared as the chains in its hands fell like a net. Even Qin Chen¡¯s sword domain couldn¡¯t withstand it. ¡°Damn it! ¡± Under such circumstances, it wouldn¡¯t be long before Qin Chen could no longer hold on. In a battle between experts, life and death were often decided in a single breath. Qin Chen was clueless about the method to resist the chains in the black bear¡¯s hands. ¡°There should be a way.¡± He tried his best to control himself from overthinking even if the chains were about to break through his sword domain.. Chapter 869 - Chapter 869: Buddha, Save Me! Chapter 869: Buddha, Save Me! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Since Qin Chen and the others had already seen his true form, it was even more impossible for the black bear to let them live. Lingyuan Temple was closed. A terrifying battle was taking place inside. Even Qin Chen did not know what he should do now. Was he going to die here? A lotus flower appeared in his primordial spirit. It was the Green Lotus Demonic Flame! This was the flame left behind by the demon race¡¯s great emperor that he had obtained on the Big Dipper. It was extremely powerful. ¡°Could it be that this Green Lotus Demonic Flame can severely injure the soul?¡± The chains he was facing targeted the soul. Perhaps he could use the Green Lotus Demonic Flame to block the black bear¡¯s attack. ¡°Do you think that you can block my chains with this ordinary sword domain? Ridiculous! The time of your death has arrived!¡± The black bear waved the chain in its hand and whipped it at the sword domain. Soon, signs of the sword domain shattering could be seen. Soon, it would be able to kill Qin Chen. ¡°You don¡¯t think that¡¯s all I have, do you?¡± Qin Chen chuckled. He was ready. When the sword domain was completely broken, the black bear laughed sinisterly and wanted to kill Qin Chen. However, there wasn¡¯t a hint of fear on the latter¡¯s face. Was this fellow not afraid of death? Although the black bear was puzzled, it believed that the human cultivator before it was already a dead man. When it thought about how the many treasures Qin Chen had would be its items, the bear¡¯s red eyes were filled with excitement. ¡®Green Lotus Demonic Flame!¡± Following Qin Chen¡¯s growl, a terrifying flame appeared. It was like a spinning lotus as it flew toward the black bear. Flames burst out in the sky, and it was extremely terrifying. The ground began to crack under the scorching heat. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± The black bear¡¯s expression changed abruptly. It had never expected that the human cultivator would have such an item. It hadn¡¯t noticed it at all before. The burning flames headed over while the green lotus spun and landed on the black bear¡¯s body. It hurriedly waved the iron chains in its hand, wanting to extinguish the flames. After all, the terrifying flame was not something that ordinary people could withstand. It broke! The iron chain that had always been successful had been melted by the flame! ¡°This is impossible!¡± An unbelievable scene appeared in the black bear¡¯s eyes. However, this was indeed true. It was terrified. It then drew all the power in the bodies of those demon monks. Countless chains gathered and turned into a real black chain. ¡°I will kill you!¡¯ Everyone watched as the demon monks in front of them fell one by one. They turned to look at Qin Chen. To think the black bear had been forced into a desperate situation. Bang! The iron chain couldn¡¯t withstand it either, and it broke after burning red. ¡°Buddha, save me!¡± The black bear was no longer calm as it rushed into the hall without hesitation. While doing so, it didn¡¯t forget to threaten Qin Chen, ¡°All of you will die here!¡± Originally, the bear had wanted to use the Great Dead Soul Chain Technique to imprison Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit and refine his body into one of the demon monks. It never thought that it would turn out like this. To think its iron chain was destroyed! That was its natal magic treasure for cultivating the Great Dead Soul Chain Technique! It could be said that the bear had gone for wool and come home shorn. Still, it had other trump cards.. Chapter 870 - Chapter 870: The Tiger’s Prey Chapter 870: The Tiger¡¯s Prey Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Buddha, help! The red-robed monk, now the black bear demon, no longer had a trace of Buddhist aura. It was more like a fleeing beggar as it rushed into the hall covered in blood. The worshipped Buddha statues actually began to spin. Crack, crack, crack. When the other side of the Buddha statues was revealed, they were actually strange demonic beasts. They were draped in cassocks, but it was not difficult to see the demonic qi on them. ¡°What happened?¡± Hoarse voices echoed in the hall as if many people were discussing. The black bear became excited. These important figures who were worshiped could finally be of some use. ¡°Didn¡¯t we say a thousand years ago that you shouldn¡¯t disturb us if there¡¯s nothing important?¡± In an instant, an indescribable aura landed on the black bear¡¯s body. It spat out a mouthful of blood as if it had been struck by lightning. It immediately knelt and begged for mercy, ¡°Dear Buddhas, Lingyuan Temple is about to be demolished! If we don¡¯t make a move, we won¡¯t be able to keep this temple hall!¡± Looking at the injuries on the black bear demon¡¯s body, the Buddha statues seemed to have come to life. They cracked open, revealing their true bodies that were condensed from smoke. ¡°I think I smell blood.¡± One after another, chaotic demon kings broke free from the clay statues. More and more fragments fell on the ground. Qin Chen and the others walked into the hall and happened to witness this scene. These demons, who seemed to have nothing to do with Buddha, could actually establish a sect here and build a temple. There was definitely more to this. ¡°You must be those outsiders. The strength of your souls is not bad. It should be enough to compensate us for the price we paid for this revival. Kekeke¡­¡± Countless chaotic demon kings laughed. They had not come out for a long time. This time, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the black bear had woken them up, they probably wouldn¡¯t have woken up and would have continued to sleep to recover their strength. None of them concealed their auras, and Qin Chen and the others were shocked to discover that the other party¡¯s aura was comparable to the peak of the God Venerable realm. If they advanced further, they would be in the quasi-emperor realm! Perhaps some of them had already touched that threshold. ¡°Not good!¡± It was no longer so easy for them to escape now. After all, these awakened demon kings who were in soul-like states were not easy to deal with. They wouldn¡¯t just watch and let Qin Chen and the others leave. ¡°Consider yourselves lucky. Obediently hand over your souls to us to devour!¡± The chaotic demon kings didn¡¯t waste any words and immediately rushed over. The black bear trembled as it pounded its chest to cheer for them. ¡°Lord Buddhas, kill them!¡± The terrifying fluctuation almost sealed the space in the temple. Even Qin Chen and the others couldn¡¯t tear the void apart. This was the strength of experts near the quasi-emperor realm, not to mention that there were so many of them now. Even ants could kill an elephant if their numbers were great enough. These ¡°Buddhas¡± were not ants, but more like a group of hungry tigers. A pack of ferocious tigers that had been hungry for a thousand years. ¡°Elder King, what should we do?¡± When the big scorpion saw this scene, he was fearful. There wasn¡¯t even a single level eight God Venerable-realm expert among them. How could they deal with these terrifying chaotic demon kings? Now, there was only one path, and that was to kill their way out. No one would have thought that Lingyuan Temple actually hid such a big secret. Even if other geniuses encountered it, they would suffer a huge loss. This time, their chances of survival would be impossibly slim! A chaotic demon king appeared in front of Qin Chen. He opened his mouth, his fangs glinting with a cold light.. Chapter 871 - Chapter 871: Possess Chapter 871: Possess Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio To the demon king, he could kill this human cultivator however he wanted because the other party was simply too weak! Seeing the terrifying existence instantly appear before him, Qin Chen didn¡¯t panic at all. The chaotic demon kings strength was already at level 8 of the God Venerable realm, but he still couldn¡¯t kill Qin Chen instantly. This was because there was the Green Lotus Demonic Flame in his primordial spirit. ¡°Give me your soul! Ahahaha! Kid, your body seems to be quite good.¡± The snake-type demon king seemed to have noticed something unusual about Qin Chen. And then, he became even greedier. If he had a decent body, he could use it to continue cultivating. Although it would take longer to recover his strength, he did not have to continue sleeping. ¡°After I possess you, you will be me and I will be you. Your primordial spirit will become my nourishment and help me recover my strength.¡± The speed of the other chaotic demon kings was far inferior to his because this chaotic demon king was a blue-sky time snake. Having reached the God Venerable realm, even if he had lost his physical body, no one could catch up to his speed. The blue-sky time snake entered Qin Chen¡¯s body in an instant. He could not wait any longer. He wanted to devour the latter¡¯s primordial spirit, control his body, and leave. He wanted to embark on the path of cultivation once again. This time, he might be able to reach the quasi-emperor realm. ¡°Who gave you the confidence? Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit looked at the blue-sky time snake that had entered his body. It had a single horn, and its entire body was glowing with an azure light. However, its demonic qi was unconcealable. A blue lotus slowly spun like a burning flame in front of Qin Chen. ¡°What is this?¡± The blue-sky time snake felt some sort of threat from the lotus. It stuck out its tongue and asked. ¡°Since you dare to enter my body, then die!¡± Since the other party wanted to kill him, Qin Chen wasn¡¯t a saint. Naturally, he would kill them. ¡°No! Let me out!¡± The blue-sky time snake, who had mastered the rule of time, was already panicking. It wanted to leave, but it realized that this place was already enveloped in flames. A wisp of flame separated from the lotus flower and flew toward it. It was as if someone had suddenly grabbed its neck and was about to suffocate it to death. The blue-sky time snake couldn¡¯t care about anything else. ¡°Stop! As long as you promise to let me go, I can hand over my soul imprint and bring you away from here! If I want to leave, the demon kings outside won¡¯t stop me?¡¯ The flames had already wrapped around the snake¡¯s body. Accompanied by its screams, the flames burned fiercely. Facing the fierce flames, no matter how knowledgeable the blue-sky time snake was, it did not know what it was. It could only condense its soul power to form a shield to resist. However, this was Qin Chen¡¯s home ground after all. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame had been here for a long time. ¡°I was wrong!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not wrong.¡± ¡°My lord! Spare me!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± ¡°Just take me as a fart and let me go!¡¯ ¡°What did you say? ¡°I beg you, don¡¯t kill me! I promise you anything.¡± The blue-sky time snake could already feel that its soul was getting weaker and weaker. The shield that was maintained needed a large amount of power. If Qin Chen did not stop, it would be burned alive! Unfortunately, Qin Chen had no thoughts of letting the blue-sky time snake go. Instead, he increased the intensity of the flames.. 9 COMMENT SEND GIFT O comment Chapter 872: You are Courting Death! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Green Lotus Demonic Flame bloomed. As the blue-sky time snake was burned to death, what was left behind was pure soul energy in the form of a grey ball. The grey ball was right in front of Qin Chen and was absorbed by his primordial spirit. A satisfied expression appeared on his face. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that soul energy can increase the strength of my primordial spirit,¡± Qin Chen smacked his lips. His primordial spirit sat cross-legged in his dantian and was emitting golden light. ¡°If only I could eat a little more¡­¡± Thinking of this, Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. That would be a great tonic! The other chaotic demon kings in the outside world stopped what they were doing and swallowed hard because they heard a miserable scream. The blue-sky time snake¡¯s miserable cry had come from Qin Chen¡¯s body. It was incomparably miserable as if the snake had been suffering from the torture of hell. Others couldn¡¯t hear it, but these chaotic demon kings had sworn brotherhood with each other, and their souls had been marked with each other¡¯s soul marks. All of them heard the scream clearly. They could imagine the pain, and they instantly shuddered. They wondered what the blue-sky time snake had experienced. To think it was so tragic. The painful wails did not last long. After a while, they sensed that the blue-sky time snake was dead. A demon king who had the potential to break through to the quasi-emperor realm, their sworn brother, had died in such a strange way. ¡°What exactly is going on? A chaotic demon king encouraged everyone to attack together. That human cultivator was only at level 4 of the God Venerable realm. Surely he would be no match for them. They had to avenge the blue-sky time snake! Some chaotic demon kings were more clear-headed. Even the blue-sky time snake had died. Among them were indeed existences stronger than the snake, but this also meant that there was a huge problem in that human cultivator¡¯s body that could target soul bodies like them. Without a physical body, they might all fail miserably. For some experts with big families, their families would prepare some treasures for their juniors to protect themselves. Perhaps this human cultivator had a magic item that could counter soul attacks. If they went in one by one, they would all be in danger of being wiped out. The chaotic demon kings looked at each other. None of them had any intention of sticking their heads out. This was rather awkward. Qin Chen slowly opened his eyes. The blue-sky time snake in his body had already been killed, but there were still dozens of chaotic demon kings left. ¡°Um, who will go first?¡± Since he no longer had to be afraid of these guys, Qin Chen had no intention of holding back. ¡°Junior! You¡¯re courting death!¡± A wolf-headed demon king shouted angrily. They were much older than Qin Chen, at least by one to two thousand years. These words had clearly offended these demon kings. To them, this was a provocation! Qin Chen sneered. On the surface, these chaotic demon kings hiding in the Lingyuan Temple wanted nothing more than to attack him, tear him apart, and eat him. However, when the blue-sky time snake died, did these guys not feel anything? They were just talking nonsense now. None of them really made a move. If there really were demon kings attacking, perhaps Qin Chen would have to consider the risk of killing too many demon kings at once. After all, the Green Lotus Demonic Flame would become weaker and weaker. Every time it was used, its consumption would increase. Qin Chen¡¯s body could not nurture the Green Lotus Demonic Flame. Even if it was left behind by a demon race¡¯s great emperor, it had long lost its peak power after being around for so long.. Chapter 872 - Chapter 872: You are Courting Death!

Chapter 873 - Chapter 873: 1 Was the One Who Hit You Just Now Chapter 873: 1 Was the One Who Hit You Just Now Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The Green Lotus Demonic Flame should be enough to deal with five or six demon kings. Any more and the situation might be reversed. ¡°Junior, it¡¯s not too late for you to leave now. If we change our minds later, we won¡¯t be polite to you!¡¯ ¡°You can go now. The others stay behind.¡± The black bear in the corner was displeased and immediately spoke up, ¡°No! Buddhas, you must not let this fellow off! You have to kill him! Only then can you showcase the might of Buddha and perform justice!¡± Even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t help but laugh. At this point, none of the chaos demon kings dared to attack. He suspected that the black bear was a retard. If they had been able to kill Qin Chen, he would probably be a corpse lying on the ground by now. ¡°Brat, do you think you can leave Lingyuan Temple alive? Let me tell you, it¡¯s impossible unless God comes to save you!¡± The more the black bear spoke, the happier it became. It was just short of jumping up and pointing at Qin Chen¡¯s nose. The rest of the chaotic demon kings had ugly expressions. Originally, they had chosen this black bear to protect them. When they were asleep in Lingyuan Temple, the bear was to collect the primordial spirit of cultivators and demonic beasts to help them recover faster. But now, it seemed like they had shot themselves in the foot. ¡°If you beg me, I will plead for you and let you be my mount.¡± The big scorpion seemed to have noticed that the chaotic demon kings did not dare to act rashly. Now was the time for him to play his role on the battlefield. ¡°Stupid bear, is your brain filled with bean dregs? ¡°How dare you scold me?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with scolding you? Don¡¯t tell me your brain is filled with water.¡± ¡°Hmph, hmph, hmph, good! If you have the guts, I¡¯ll let you know what it means to beg for death later¡­¡± The black bear hurriedly asked the chaotic demon kings to teach these ignorant fellows a lesson, but a slap suddenly came over. In an instant, the black bear was sent flying, crashing into a pillar in the hall. ¡®Good! To think you dare to attack me in front of all the Buddhas! Are you tired of living? The chaotic demon kings were speechless. ¡°Just wait! Slap me again if you have the guts! I don¡¯t believe that the various Buddhas will let you continue to be so haughty!¡¯ Before the black bear could see clearly who it was, a palm appeared in front of it and it was sent flying again. This time, it created a pit on the pillar on the other side. Fortunately, it had thick skin and thick flesh. Soon, it locked onto his target. It was that human cultivator who had made a move. It must be him. ¡°You, yes, I¡¯m talking to you. You were the one who hit me just now, right? Very good. Now that you have lost the right to die quickly here, I will torture you for a long, long time!¡± It crawled out of the pit on the pillar and wept bitterly at a chaotic demon king, ¡°Buddha, you must not let him off! He slapped me in front of you. This isn¡¯t slapping my face, but yours! He doesn¡¯t take you seriously at all! You have to stand up for me!¡± The chaotic demon king lifted the black bear¡¯s face which was much bigger than before. It was obvious that whoever had slapped the bear hadn¡¯t held back. ¡°I was the one who hit you just now.¡± However, the black bear did not seem to have heard him clearly, ¡°You must not¡­ What did you say? It covered its ears in disbelief, ¡°You hit me? After saying that, it suffered another slap on its face. Its bear body which weighed a few hundred pounds flew out of the courtyard of Lingyuan Temple.. Chapter 874 - Chapter 874: Whoever Attacks First Will Die First! Chapter 874: Whoever Attacks First Will Die First! Translator: Nyoi-do Studio Editor: Nyoi-do Studio ¡°Junior, the bear was uneducated, but I¡¯ve already dealt with him.¡± Now, Qin Chen was the last person these chaotic demon kings wanted to provoke. They didn¡¯t dare to bet with the other party on whether he had a soul magic item or not. No one was willing to probe, because probing them might cost them their lives! The chaotic demon kings were all afraid of death. All they wanted was to live. ¡°You can leave now. The rest have to stay as compensation.¡± Qin Chen slowly said, ¡°Are you done? If you¡¯re done, then come at me together.¡± They wanted Qin Chen to leave the others behind and escape on his own, but he could not do it. These people had gone through life and death with him. How could he abandon them just because of a sentence? He would never abandon them, nor would he ever give up on them, No one could make Qin Chen change his mind! Even if he wasn¡¯t confident in dealing with so many chaotic demon kings all at once, he was still willing to fight. In addition, he was certain that these chaotic demon kings would not dare to attack him. Once they attacked, the situation would collapse and he might die, but it was also impossible for some of the chaotic demon kings to survive as well. Either way, people would die. It depended on whether they were willing or not. ¡°Are you threatening us?¡± A chaotic demon king cursed angrily, ¡°Do you really think that we can¡¯t do anything to you? ¡°Alright, come on! Let me see how many lives you have!¡± Qin Chen smiled, ¡°Whoever comes up first will die first!¡± Immediately, the chaotic demon kings who had been restless didn¡¯t make a move. They no longer dared to provoke Qin Chen. By speaking harshly, they were actually showing their weakness. None of them had the guts to fight Qin Chen. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t think that you can continue being all bravado just by acting crazy,¡± An old chaotic demon king stood out and pointed out that if Qin Chen wanted to continue causing trouble, they should test each other¡¯s bottom line. ¡°Old thing, I think you want to die, right?¡± Qin Chen spat. He walked towards the chaotic demon king. The rest of the chaotic demon kings crossed their arms and looked like they were watching a show. ¡°Damn it! ¡± The old demon king immediately turned around and ran, hiding far away, afraid that Qin Chen would chase after him again. ¡°Why did you run?¡± The big scorpion added. Qin Chen had no intention of letting these guys go. Even if he wanted to leave with the others, these chaotic demon kings would probably not let them have their way so easily. There were not just one or two demon kings here. Take the old demon king who had fled just now as an example. What if he said that Qin Chen was afraid when he was about to leave and proposed that the demon kings should take him down first? Who could say for sure? These old guys had lived for thousands of years, all thanks to the long lifespan of the demon race. To them, Qin Chen and the others had just reached adulthood. However, such a long period was enough for any immature demon to become scheming. ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Qin Chen licked his lips. The primordial spirit in his body was eager to be nourished by pure soul power. The effect of soul power on the primordial spirit was very obvious. Before a chaotic demon king at the side could react, he saw Qin Chen charging toward him. A wisp of green flame emerged from Qin Chen¡¯s hand and instantly slapped the chaotic demon king. ¡°You!¡± The chaotic demon king had a pair of wings, and his expression was one of shock and anger. A burst of flames soared into the sky, and the chaotic demon king, who was originally in the state of a soul, was naturally the best fuel. A small spark was enough to ignite him. Chapter 875 - Chapter 875: Next Chapter 875: Next Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The chaotic demon king did not have the time to scold Qin Chen since he was caught off guard and had already fallen into the latter¡¯s trap. How many people could withstand the pain of one¡¯s soul burning? Moreover, when the soul was burned out, the only thing left was complete death. One could not even reincarnate. The rest of the chaotic demon kings were also extremely shocked. They were all aghast. Only then did they truly realize that the junior did have a way to kill them. They were still in their soul forms, so they were simply no match for Qin Chen. ¡°Save me¡­ Save me! I don¡¯t want to die! Help!¡± The chaotic demon king¡¯s wings had already been burned away. His voice was hoarse and he was hysterical. However, he could not do anything about the flames on his body. ¡°Next.¡± Qin Chen immediately charged toward the other demon kings. Who would be next? All the chaotic demon kings present were terrified. They watched as Qin Chen¡¯s figure disappeared and were very on guard against their surroundings. The demon king who had just died was considered to be above average among them. Yet, even such an expert had been burned to ashes under a single flame. Putting themselves in the other party¡¯s shoes, even they could not resist. ¡°What exactly is that flame? A flame that could burn souls was definitely no ordinary existence. It was very likely that it had a great origin. At the very least, these old fellows had almost never seen anything similar to the flame. Even if they had, they had only ever laid eyes on some of the things left behind by quasi-emperors. Only quasi-emperors could have such power. It was not difficult to burn one¡¯s soul. The difficult part was burning the soul of a God Venerable-realm expert. Their realms were too high, so unless the flame¡¯s realm was higher than theirs, it would be useless. But flames like that would at least be a treasure that could only be used by a quasi-emperor. As for treasures of a higher level, the inheritance of great emperors? They did not dare to imagine it. ¡°Ah!¡± A miserable cry sounded again. A demon king had been hit. He was an ancient era bat. When he saw Qin Chen standing in front of him, he was still in disbelief. But there was no other way. Reality befell. The flame landed on his body and turned him into a burning man. In the burning pain, he transformed back into his original form, a large bat that was smoking all over. The other chaotic demon kings were already extremely afraid. ¡°Who will be next?¡± This burning last for a long time. After all, their soul strength was not low. Since Qin Chen didn¡¯t go all out in burning the demon kings, it would take a long time for each of them to be burned to ashes. Previously, when Qin Chen burned the blue-sky time snake to death in his body, it took him about 15 minutes. ¡°Damn it! We can¡¯t let this kid continue!¡± ¡°Yes! Kill him!¡± The chaotic demon kings echoed each other, but in Qin Chen¡¯s eyes, they were simply amusing. After all, they did not have a physical body. Once they came into contact with the flames of the Green Lotus Demonic Flame, it would be a death sentence. They didn¡¯t even dare to attack, so how could they kill Qin Chen? ¡°Now that things have come to this, we can only fuse. Although it will cause irreversible damage to our souls, the consequences will be unimaginable if this kid is allowed to continue defeating us one by one!¡± As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. Compared to being locked onto by Qin Chen and having to die, they were more willing to pay a certain price in exchange for Qin Chen¡¯s death. Only by dealing with this human cultivator could these chaotic demon kings survive.. Chapter 876 - Chapter 876: Blood Spirit God Chapter 876: Blood Spirit God Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°This is?¡± Qin Chen watched as the chaotic demon kings gathered. Could it be that they wanted him to set them on fire and let all of them feel the warmth? ¡°In my name, reincarnation will not stop. The journey on the Great Path continues to the end of the world. If no Sages appear, I¡¯ll be the only one who reigns supreme!¡± A phantom appeared on the heads of the demon kings, looking as if a Demon God had descended into the world. This phantom seemed to have a life of its own, and its eyes were filled with intelligence. It looked at Qin Chen, seemingly wondering why its enemy was as weak as an ant this time. Qin Chen only saw one word in the other party¡¯s eyes: disdain. That feeling of contempt was as if everything in the world had submitted to it. ¡°Blood Spirit God! Go!¡± In an instant, the chaotic demon kings took the initiative to enter the phantom¡¯s body. Their powers were fully activated, helping the Demon God to speed up its descent. However, Qin Chen was thinking of something else. If this Demon God that was revered as the Blood Spirit God was still alive, where was he now? It was easy to imagine how powerful the other party was since dozens of God Venerable-realm chaotic demon kings had to invest their strength together. The Blood Spirit God¡¯s aura soared. It broke through the great perfection stage of the God Venerable realm and stepped into the quasi-emperor realm, but did not stop there. Its cultivation was still rising. When the cultivation improvement finally stopped, everyone gasped. The phantom had reached the middle stage of the quasi-emperor realm! Even though the phantom was not the original body of the Demon God, it still showed how powerful he was. Perhaps the Demon God was still alive and sleeping somewhere, waiting to be awakened. Only when the opportunity to become a great emperor appeared would such a terrifying existence descend into the world again. Qin Chen could see that his opponent¡¯s strength had already reached the peak of the quasi-emperor realm. Perhaps, the latter was only a step away from stepping into the ancient emperor realm! Unfortunately, countless people in history had been stopped by that small gap and could not advance an inch. They lacked opportunities. In this era where an opportunity to become a great emperor would appear, an expert might accomplish the feat and become a great emperor. When the Blood Spirit God spoke, it was as if countless people were speaking at the same time. It made people feel as if they were not facing one entity, but a group of them. And that was indeed so. In front of Qin Chen was a group of chaotic demon kings fused together. No matter how well they cooperated, it was impossible for them to really become one person. ¡°You must die! Blood Spirit Decree!¡± A blood-colored decree condensed, and Qin Chen¡¯s name slowly appeared on it. This made Qin Chen feel a little uneasy. Could it be that this Blood Spirit Decree could be used to perform divination? When his name appeared on the decree, something seemed to have connected with Qin Chen. He even started to tremble, feeling as if he was being locked onto by something. The Blood Spirit God condensed something in the shape of a brush in his hand and held it. Then, he tried to cross out the name on the decree. Qin Chen had a strong feeling that if his name was crossed out, it was very likely that he would die. Even if he didn¡¯t die, he would pay a huge price. The name on the decree flickered. The Blood Spirit God¡¯s body was huge, so it was difficult for him to successfully cross out the name. ¡°Die!¡± Under the influence of the wills of countless demon kings in the Blood Spirit God¡¯s body, the hand holding the brush finally moved! Chapter 877 - Chapter 877: Fish on a Chopping Board Chapter 877: Fish on a Chopping Board Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The brush slowly crossed out Qin Chen¡¯s name. Even Qin Chen himself didn¡¯t expect them to have such methods. ¡°You are destined to die here. 1 have already seen your future.¡± The huge Blood Spirit God closed its eyes as if it really saw something. However, in the next second, its face suddenly distorted. Before Qin Chen¡¯s name could be completely crossed out, the decree shattered. Even the huge phantom of the Blood Spirit God was unable to maintain itself and disintegrated. There was a split second when Qin Chen thought that he was really going to die. Dozens of figures fell from the phantom. The chaotic demon kings were in disbelief. They knew that this occurrence was because the Blood Spirit God had taken the initiative to cancel the summoning ritual. Such a situation had never happened before! Of course, they had just experienced it and now knew that it was indeed possible. ¡°That¡¯s the Blood Spirit God!¡± As a supreme existence below the great emperors, he was far more powerful than quasi-emperors. For them, even summoning a clone of the Blood Spirit God had made them pay a huge price. The moment it shattered, they had already suffered a backlash. Their soul fires had dimmed significantly, and some demon kings were already faintly discernible. They had wanted to kill Qin Chen, but in the end, the latter was still alive while they were all heavily injured. For a moment, the scene was a little awkward. Could it be that so many of them added up were still not enough to fight against one human cultivator? If word of this were to spread, they would probably never be able to raise their heads in the future. This was a humiliation that could not be washed away. ¡°Why did the Blood Spirit God disappear?¡± ¡°That should mean that he took the initiative to cancel the summoning contract.¡± ¡°Impossible! How can there be anything else that could make the Blood Spirit God feel fear?¡± When this thought appeared in the chaotic demon kings¡¯ minds, it already showed that this was one of the possible reasons. They had written Qin Chen¡¯s name on the decree. That was the other party¡¯s real name. Yet, no matter how much they tried to interfere, they couldn¡¯t control the hand to cross out Qin Chen¡¯s name. At the same time, in a certain place thousands of miles away, blood flowed out of the eyes of a huge figure. He was carrying black chains on his back, and he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. ¡°l seem to have seen something incredible.¡± As for what he saw, the offerings, which were the chaotic demon kings, naturally did not know. They were only responsible for providing soul power. ¡°Could it be that the opportunity for me to become a great emperor is with him?¡± When the huge figure wanted to move, he realized that he could not. The chains were a kind of restraint, a prison cell. He could never leave this place. ¡°This kid has a secret!¡± A demon king with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks said, ¡°1 guess he must have some treasure on him.¡± As soon as he said this, many demon kings sneered. So what if he had a secret? So what if he had treasures? Now, they were about to become fish on a chopping board. Now that they were at the other party¡¯s mercy, some demon kings could not help but cry. They had a premonition that their end was coming. If Qin Chen were to make a move, some of them might die. Of course, they did have ways to pull the other party down with them too. It wasn¡¯t as if they didn¡¯t have any means to threaten Qin Chen. ¡°I¡¯m very curious if you can summon that terrifying Demon God again.¡± On Qin Chen¡¯s fingertip, a ball of flame slowly burned, illuminating his face.. Chapter 878 - Chapter 878: Demon Kings Self-Destruct Chapter 878: Demon Kings Self-Destruct Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Summon again? It was impossible. Even if these chaotic demon kings gave everything they had, it would not be enough to summon the phantom of the Blood Spirit God once more. They had already failed once. They might fail again the second time. ¡°This¡­ How is this possible!¡± A chaotic demon kings aura was already weak. He was heavily injured. Even if he could escape, it was impossible for him to survive. Soon, most of the souls of these chaotic demon kings would collapse and die, They had never thought that this would be the outcome. ¡°What method did you use?¡± They had never failed to summon the Blood Spirit God¡¯s clone, and they had once even successfully used the decree to wipe out a quasi-emperor. As long as they paid enough soul power, the Blood Spirit God¡¯s clone was no different from the original body. But this time, they lost. Rather, they didn¡¯t even manage to summon the Blood Spirit God. God knows what the Supreme had seen, but to think he had taken the initiative canceled his descent. The backlash from the attack almost killed all of the chaotic demon kings. ¡°Since you can¡¯t summon that Demon God again,¡± Qin Chen smiled, ¡°It¡¯s my turn. ¡± None of the demon kings in Lingyuan Temple were innocent. Their hands were stained with blood. Since they had been here for thousands of years, one could imagine how sinful this demon temple was. If there was an opportunity to eradicate them, Qin Chen would never give up. After all, once the temple was given the chance to recover, it would be a huge force that could threaten many sects. Instantly, Qin Chen moved. Before the chaotic demon kings could react, they were burned to death by Qin Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Demonic Flame. Their souls scattered and they didn¡¯t even have the chance to reincarnate. It was as if they had never existed. Some chaotic demon kings were furious. To think this human cultivator wanted to kill them all! Even a rabbit would bite when it was forced into a corner. With that, a chaotic demon king charged over to Qin Chen and self-detonated. The soul power of a level 9 God Venerable could not be ignored. Qin Chen felt threatened and immediately used the Moving Secret Technique. With mysterious footwork, he distanced himself from the self-destruction, then began to counterattack and suppress! The Green Lotus Demonic Flame turned into a fire dragon and swallowed the chaotic demon king with a green light, killing the latter before he self-destructed. The eyes of the rest of the demon kings were also filled with killing intent. Although they were only at level 9 of the God Venerable realm, Qin Chen could sense that they were already half a step into the great perfection stage. They were only one step away from breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm. These guys were not easy to deal with. ¡°Since you won¡¯t give us a way out, kid, you can accompany us old fellows on our way! ¡± ¡°Can you withstand the self-destruction of all the demon kings? Haha, killing a genius like you before death is one of the happiest things in life!¡± All the demon kings rushed over. Qin Chen simply smiled faintly and said, ¡°If you want me to die together with the rest of you, you have to have the strength to make that happen!¡¯ With that, the flames of the Green Lotus Demonic Flame expanded and were comparable to a sea of fire. A lotus flower floated and burned with terrifying flames. Even an ordinary cultivator might be burned blind. ¡°Elder King, kill them!¡± The big scorpion was excited. Since these fellows wanted to kill them, they had to be prepared to be killed. Streams of flames spread out Before the chaotic demon kings could get close, they were engulfed by the fire. In extreme pain, they burned into nothingness.. Chapter 879 - Chapter 879: Acknowledge Master Chapter 879: Acknowledge Master Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio They were souls, to begin with, so it was naturally impossible for them to leave anything behind. Even their physical bodies would be burned to ashes. This was Qin Chen¡¯s strength. The Green Lotus Demonic Flame was left behind by a demon race¡¯s great emperor. There was probably nothing in this world that could withstand it. The chaotic demon king who had been the first to attack had died the most grievously because the Green Lotus Demonic Flame was right beside Qin Chen¡¯s primordial spirit. He had wanted to possess Qin Chen¡¯s body, but he was sent straight on his way to the afterlife. ¡°You¡¯ve probably caused a lot of harm by building this rubbish Lingyuan Temple here. Just based on this, it¡¯s only right and proper to eliminate you and protect the Dao.¡± Almost all of the chaotic demon kings that were sleeping here were experts of the demon race. Some had already been exterminated in the outside world. Even Qin Chen couldn¡¯t recognize which demon race they belonged to. ¡°How hateful! ¡± ¡°We actually died here, at the hands of a junior like you!¡¯ ¡°l curse that your soul will scatter after you die!¡± ¡°Damn it! I will eat you!¡¯ What surprised Qin Chen the most was that these chaotic demon kings had a relationship with a Supreme above the quasi-emperor realm. This was the first time he had come into contact with a Supreme. Could it be that some of the Supremes had already revived? According to some ancient records that were similar to the records of many powerful families, in eras without the opportunity to become a great emperor, it was impossible to find the Supremes. Currently, not a single Supreme had appeared in the world. They were probably sleeping somewhere. Otherwise, the long river of time would have drained the Supremes¡¯ power. Even a great emperor would die, unless he went to another Celestial Realm and ascended. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t learn anything about the Supreme from them.¡± Qin Chen felt somewhat regretful. At the Supreme realm, even hundreds of quasi-emperors couldn¡¯t hurt them. This was how powerful they were. Destroying a cosmic was a piece of cake. They had no interest in anything in this world. Even their descendants had been cut off. It was to prevent other Supremes from attacking them through the shackles of blood being thicker than water. ¡°Therefore, the Supremes shouldn¡¯t be able to recover so quickly.¡± Of course, there was another possibility. That was, there was something that could interest the Supremes, and it was related to the opportunity to become a great emperor. ¡°My lord! I¡¯m willing to acknowledge you as my master!¡± A voice suddenly rang out in Qin Chen¡¯s ears. He looked over and saw that although many chaotic demon kings had died, some hadn¡¯t. Instead, they relied on the strength of their souls to condense shields to resist and delay their deaths. ¡°l know about the Blood Spirit God! I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you everything!¡¯ The hunchbacked old man could not suppress the fear in his heart. He was afraid of death and even more afraid of being turned into ashes. He would die silently like this. ¡°Bastard! You actually lowered your head to him?¡± ¡°Do you think you can survive? Ridiculous!¡± ¡°Shut up! Even if I have to be a slave, I don¡¯t want to die now!¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf berated his former brother. ¡°Sir, I still have a use for you¡­ Please let me go.¡± Qin Chen¡¯s reply caused Daoist Eastern Wolf to laugh. ¡°Aren¡¯t you already heavily injured? Soon, your soul will collapse.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry about this, the eastern wolf race has an ancestral talent that can ensure one¡¯s survival by making one¡¯s cultivation fall.¡± There were indeed many strange things in the Greater World. To think one of the chaotic demon kings could destroy his cultivation to survive. ¡°If I keep him, I should be able to get a lot of information.¡± Qin Chen didn¡¯t hesitate. He took out a soul cultivator¡¯s magic item from his spatial treasure, the Dark Soul Wood. It could support the primordial spirit and nourish it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take you in..¡± Chapter 880 - Chapter 880: Blood Spirit God Chapter 880: Blood Spirit God Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The moment the Dark Soul Wood appeared, those chaotic demon kings who were determined to die regretted it. If they had a piece of Dark Soul Wood now, they would be able to survive and slowly recover. This was a supreme treasure that was extremely attractive to soul cultivators! It was already extinct in the outside world. Even if those super-powerful families and supreme orthodoxies would not have such a good thing. ¡°Thank you, Lord! I vow to follow you through fire and water!¡± The green flames around Daoist Eastern Wolf retreated. His figure slowly entered the Dark Soul Wood, and with this, he didn¡¯t need to use his ancestral talent to destroy his cultivation for survival. ¡°Milord, this is my soul imprint. As long as you fuse it, my life and death will be in your hands.¡± Looking at the white mark above the Dark Soul Wood, Qin Chen took it and refined it. Daoist Eastern Wolf¡¯s face was pale. Clearly, the contract had been successfully formed. As long as Qin Chen died, Daoist Eastern Wolf would die as well. The chaotic demon kings who were dying were unwilling. They regretted their actions. If Qin Chen had taken out the Dark Soul Wood earlier, not even a hundred Daoist Eastern Wolves would be able to lower their heads as quickly as they would. But now, there was no chance to choose again. Seeing these chaotic demon kings die one by one, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They had thought that they would die here. ¡°Good job, Milord! These guys had been absorbing the souls of the cultivator passing by to recover.¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf had already drawn a clear line between himself and his former brothers. ¡°Let me ask you, how did you get to know the Blood Spirit God?¡± The stooped Daoist Eastern Wolf said respectfully, ¡°All of this started thousands of years ago. In a spatial rift, someone discovered an incredible treasure. Many demon race experts went there. There was even a quasi-emperor who participated as a puppet. But in the end, it was a trap. Ninety percent of the people died, and the remaining were us, the chaotic demon kings. We used all our strength and abandoned our bodies to escape from the spatial rift.¡± ¡°In fact, the treasures there have long been obtained by someone else. It was a place of treasures and opportunities left by the Blood Spirit God for future generations. It¡¯s a pity that we realized it too late. In the end, we only found a fragment from the mural. If we contribute our soul power, we can summon the Blood Spirit God¡¯s clone. After escaping to this place, we fell into a deep sleep. We found random a black bear and built this Lingyuan Temple so that we could have a place to rest. We didn¡¯t expect to meet Master.¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf told him everything he knew. ¡°A place of opportunity left behind by the Blood Spirit God for future generations?¡± This piqued Qin Chen¡¯s interest, ¡°Where is the spatial rift now?¡± ¡°Ten thousand kilometers ahead.¡¯ Qin Chen believed that there must have been many treasures among the fallen experts of the demon race. If they could find those treasures, it would definitely increase their strength by a lot. At that time, they would be able to leave this cosmic and return to the nine Heavens and ten lands faster. ¡°Lead the way!¡¯ Although Daoist Eastern Wolf still had lingering fears about what had happened back then, he couldn¡¯t stop Qin Chen since he had spoken. The spatial rift was right in the middle of their journey. If one wanted to leave the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, it was impossible not to pass through that place. There were no treasures in Lingyuan Temple, so Qin Chen set it on fire. After that, he led the group and followed Daoist Eastern Wolf. Before long, a black river appeared in front of them. There was also an ancient stone tablet that was in tatters.. Chapter 881 - Chapter 881: Heaven-leading River Chapter 881: Heaven-leading River Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On it were the words ¡°Heaven-leading River¡±. ¡°Heaven-leading River?¡± Qin Chen and the others had never heard of it before. Only Daoist Eastern Wolf frowned as he spoke to Qin Chen. ¡°Sir, the Heaven-leading River is a great forbidden area within the forbidden ground of the demon race. All living beings that walk on it will sink. If their primordial spirit does not escape in time, they will also sink.¡± As for how Daoist Eastern Wolf had managed to cross it¡­ It was because they had lost their physical bodies that their souls were able to swim across the river safely. ¡°Is it that evil?¡± Qin Chen naturally did not doubt the other party¡¯s words. After all, the life and death of Daoist Eastern Wolf was in his hands. As long as he died, the other party would die as well. Therefore, he was not worried that the other party would harm him. What he said should be true. Qin Chen asked everyone to stop, then walked alone to the bank of the Heaven-leading River. There were no weeds around. God knows how long ago someone had left behind that stone tablet with the words ¡°Heaven-leading River¡±. The river itself was as dark as night, and nothing in it could be seen clearly. Daoist Eastern Wolf guessed that even a quasi-emperor-realm expert might not be able to pass the river safely. Since the other party had made the river sound so terrifying, Qin Chen didn¡¯t let his guard down. If he was not careful, he might die immediately. When he thought of this, he calmed down and began to think. ¡°How should we cross it?¡± As long as someone tried to cross the river, their body would sink. Following this, Qin Chen took out a spiritual boat. Its speed was comparable to that of some demons that specialized in flight. When Qin Chen controlled the spiritual boat to head to the other side of the Heaven-leading River, it didn¡¯t take long for the boat to sink. It was as if there was a huge force pulling the spiritual boat down. Qin Chen immediately felt that this was a bit troublesome. Anything other than the primordial spirit would sink. Would they be stopped here? He didn¡¯t dare to use his extreme emperor weapon to test it out. What if the Heaven-leading River could even drag down the magic items left behind by ancient great emperors? If he wanted to retrieve his magic item then, he would have to give up his body. Additionally, the space above the Heaven-leading River was extremely unstable, making it impossible to tear through the void. Forcefully crossing the river would only cause them to fall into the pitch-black river. Plus, who knew what was in the water? Everyone was quite fearful as they watched the spiritual boat controlled by the Elder King sink. To them, it was simply impossible to pass the river unless they abandoned their bodies like Daoist Eastern Wolf. Otherwise, crossing the river would be suicide. ¡°Is there no other way?¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf replied, ¡°Master, there have been demon race experts who crossed the river with their bodies, but there has only been one successful case. However, the records are too old, and the detailed information has not been passed down.¡± Seeing that everyone was helpless, Qin Chen felt that his joy was in vain. He had thought that Daoist Eastern Wolf would know how to get over. ¡°Tell me everything you know about the Heaven-leading River.¡± ¡°The Heaven-leading River was said to have been formed when a quasi-emperor-realm expert who was about to break through to the Supreme realm was wiped out by a strange existence¡¯s attack. From then on, almost no one has ever been able to cross this river with their physical bodies. The Heaven-leading River splits the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground into two. Even the identity of the demon race expert who successfully crossed the river as recorded in history is unknown.¡± ¡°You may leave.¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf respectfully retreated back into the Dark Soul Wood. He didn¡¯t believe that Qin Chen could cross the river unless the latter didn¡¯t want his body anymore.. Chapter 882 - Chapter 882: Corpse Chapter 882: Corpse Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Losing one¡¯s physical body was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of breaking through. Without the circulation of energy in one¡¯s physical body, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate. If it wasn¡¯t for their bodies being destroyed, those soul-form experts wouldn¡¯t have chosen to walk that path either. ¡°Stripping off the body and leaving only the primordial spirit¡­ This is like a threshold left behind for experts who cultivate the soul.¡± But in fact, many soul path experts would create puppet bodies. Thousands of years ago, there had been a quasi-emperor puppet involved in the conspiracy. Such a puppet was not something that a great perfection-stage God Venerable could fight against as it bore the will of a quasi-emperor. The quasi-emperor¡¯s puppet was ultimately destroyed by a decree in the battle. The decree was the incomplete technique learned by the many chaotic demon kings, which they then used to summon the Blood Spirit God¡¯s clone previously. It was said that once one¡¯s name was erased by this decree, the original body would also die. Therefore, a quasi-emperor died in that battle. Qin Chen silently turned his head and stopped thinking about these things. If the quasi-emperor¡¯s puppet was still in the space cracks, he might be able to get it. But now, he had to first cross the Heaven-leading River, which he was currently clueless about. Could it be that only quasi-emperor-realm experts had a chance to cross it? At the same time, it was almost impossible to go around the river since Qin Chen and the others did not have much time. Looking at the water of the Heaven-leading River flowing slowly, Qin Chen¡¯s mind was drawn into the water. In that state, Qin Chen suddenly realized something. He seemed to have left his physical body! His consciousness was even sinking, just like the spiritual boat from before. This made him feel a sense of horror. He was on the shore and did not enter the Heaven-leading River. How could such a thing happen? Unfortunately, reality did not allow him to continue thinking. If he waited, he might never wake up again. ¡°What is the Elder King doing?¡± The true dragon was surprised because the Elder King had been in his current position for a while. ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s lost in thought?¡± The big scorpion didn¡¯t dare to go over and disturb him. If the Elder King was comprehending again, he wouldn¡¯t be able to comprehend it again if he was interrupted. ¡°I hope so.¡± No one dared to approach. This was the Elder King¡¯s order. ¡°Damn it!¡± Qin Chen couldn¡¯t shake off this strange feeling no matter what. His consciousness kept sinking, and it might not be long before it dissipated. This was even more terrifying than death. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± A weak voice suddenly sounded in his ear. It seemed to be transmitted from a boundless distance. Qin Chen focused on the weak voice for a long time before he finally identified the word ¡°help¡±. It seemed that someone was asking for help, but he didn¡¯t have the time to care about others because he couldn¡¯t hold on any longer either. He was already in a situation where he was hardly able to save himself, let alone others. He didn¡¯t even know if he could survive. Qin Chen didn¡¯t know how much time had passed, but the voice he heard became clearer and clearer. ¡°The Xuanjian Sect¡­ Save me¡­¡± What the hell was going on? Qin Chen was about to go crazy. He decided to just go with the flow and let his consciousness gradually sink. Then, he seemed to see light in the water. It wasn¡¯t an illusion. It was a corpse shining with golden light. To think a corpse had appeared in the Heaven-leading River and was preserved very well. It was unimaginable what kind of existence the corpse was.. Chapter 883 - Chapter 883: The Call for Help Chapter 883: The Call for Help Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio If Qin Chen knew the other party, he would¡¯ve been able to recognize the corpse as the legendary body of the expert who had broken through to the Supreme realm countless years ago. The corpse had not rotted yet. It still maintained a terrifying vitality as if it would suddenly wake up. There was a sword in the other party¡¯s hand, obviously extraordinary and extremely terrifying. The sword¡¯s aura was suppressed by the corpse and did not spread out. This was the most powerful quasi-emperor who had been killed by a strange existence just when he was about to step into the Supreme realm. Unexpectedly, his corpse continued to grow, forming the Heaven-leading River, which was still expanding. Currently, it was a hundred times larger than before. ¡°I am Shan Wuling, a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect. Save me¡­¡± The corpse actually spoke. Qin Chen was shocked. Wasn¡¯t this corpse under the Heaven-leading River a little too terrifying? This was beyond his understanding. Just how strong was the other party to be able to maintain such a state after death? Could it be that he could be resurrected after leaving the river? Qin Chen thought of this possibility. Perhaps the other party wasn¡¯t completely dead yet. Such a powerful person definitely had many backup plans. As for the Xuanjian Sect, Qin Chen had never heard of it before. Perhaps the sect of this ancient human had already fallen. He had met many disciples from large sects and factions in the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground, but he had no impression of the Xuanjian Sect. ¡°¡­l was injured by a Supreme when 1 was breaking through. If you can save me or send news of me back to the Xuanjian Sect, I will reward you heavily! Qin Chen walked up to the corpse. It seemed that this corpse was the one who had dragged his consciousness into the Heaven-leading River. ¡°Supreme?¡± Thinking about what Daoist Eastern Wolf had told him earlier, Qin Chen¡¯s heart palpitated. Could this corpse be the origin of the Heaven-leading River? Was the other party the legendary quasi-emperor who was killed while breaking through to the Supreme? Or perhaps he had survived that shocking event, but was now trapped? This possibility shocked Qin Chen. If this fellow had successfully broken through, he would definitely be a Supreme. Since the other party could contend against a Supreme while only in the quasi-emperor realm, he should be an expert among Supremes once his breakthrough succeeded. The corpse was still talking. Perhaps this was the reason why the Heaven-leading River would pull people into the water. An ancient human under the water was asking for help. How many years had this call for help lasted? It had probably been a long time. At this moment, Qin Chen started to feel anxious because he could feel that his body was about to collapse. His consciousness was about to dissipate, and if that happened, he would probably die. Daoist Eastern Wolf, who was in the outside world, suddenly realized something. ¡°Shit! Something happened to Master!¡± He was closely related to Qin Chen. If the latter died, he wouldn¡¯t be able to survive either. Now, he could feel Qin Chen¡¯s life force extinguishing like a candle in the wind. ¡°What?!¡± The true dragon flew towards Qin Chen. Earlier, it already had a feeling that the Elder King seemed to have encountered some problems. And now, Daoist Eastern Wolf said that something had happened to Qin Chen. It was definitely because of the Heaven-leading River. Everyone also rushed over. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes were closed. No matter what they did, he didn¡¯t react at all. ¡°l promise you!¡¯ Right now, Qin Chen¡¯s consciousness was still trapped under the Heaven-leading River. Faced with the feeling of being about to die, he quickly spoke to the golden corpse. However, he could not guarantee that he would be able to find the Xuanjian Sect. ¡°Thank you, little friend.¡± With that, the cry for help stopped. At the same time, Qin Chen seemed to have regained control of his consciousness. His consciousness flew from underwater and returned to his body.. Chapter 884 - Chapter 884: Crossing the River Chapter 884: Crossing the River Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly flew open, giving everyone a fright. ¡°Elder King, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The true dragon hurriedly asked. If Daoist Eastern Wolf hadn¡¯t sensed that something was wrong with Qin Chen, they probably wouldn¡¯t have sensed anything. Right now, Qin Chen only looked a little pale, nothing else. ¡°l saw the corpse of a quasi-emperor in the Heaven-leading River. It¡¯s the quasi-emperor who broke through to the Supreme realm.¡± These two sentences shocked everyone. They couldn¡¯t imagine that the Elder King had actually gone to the bottom of the Heaven-leading River, and even found a corpse there! However, this was not what they should be thinking about now. ¡°I¡¯ll try to see if I can cross the river.¡± Qin Chen stood up and walked into the river step by step. He had already agreed to the corpse¡¯s request for help to send news of him back to the Xuanjian Sect. As such, the previous situation should not happen again. Everyone watched as Qin Chen, who was now standing on the surface of the water, unexpectedly didn¡¯t sink like the spiritual boat from before. Daoist Eastern Wolf was so shocked that he didn¡¯t know what to say. He actually saw someone crossing the river with his body! This was the Heaven-leading River! He didn¡¯t know how Qin Chen did it. Daoist Eastern Wolf was not faking his shock. The Heaven-leading River was famous for being uncrossable! If someone could cross the Heaven-leading River with their physical body, it would surely shock the entire demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. It was a pity that only they could see this scene. Above the river that was as dark as night, the pulling force disappeared. Qin Chen crossed the river without any danger and arrived at the opposite shore after a while. He returned again. He didn¡¯t know if the others would be pulled into the water, so he had to keep an eye on them. The big scorpion stepped on the river first. As expected, he did not feel that kind of power. Then, it was the others. A smile appeared on Qin Chen¡¯s face. As expected, only by agreeing to the corpse¡¯s request for help could they cross the Heaven-leading River. After everyone had crossed the Heaven-leading River, Daoist Eastern Wolf had a complicated look on his face. He wondered what kind of person he was following. If Qin Chen didn¡¯t die, he would surely break through to the quasi-emperor realm. He had once had a trace of potential to become a quasi-emperor too, but compared to Qin Chen, he was nothing ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡¯ Following Qin Chen¡¯s order, everyone followed him. After advancing for some time, they weren¡¯t far from the spatial rift Daoist Eastern Wolf had mentioned. Qin Chen was looking forward to encountering the land of opportunity left behind by the Blood Spirit God. Although someone else had been to that place before, a quasi-emperor¡¯s puppet was still extremely valuable. As for the Xuanjian Sect, he had already asked Daoist Eastern Wolf about it. According to ancient records, that sect was a supreme orthodoxy. However, no one knew where it had gone. It had possibly moved. Whether or not Qin Chen would be able to encounter it would depend on his luck. If the quasi-emperor trapped in the Heaven-leading River hadn¡¯t died, he would likely be a Supreme upon escaping. The premise was that the other party had already transcended the heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, it was still uncertain whether he could survive and be resurrected. Daoist Eastern Wolf pointed ahead and said, ¡°Master, the spatial rift is right up ahead.¡± After so many years, many places had changed. As such, Daoist Eastern Wolf needed some time to find the entrance to the spatial rift. A land of opportunity that was opened up by a Supreme being would not collapse so easily unless another Supreme made a move. ¡°It should be over there.¡¯ Daoist Eastern Wolf appeared and arrived at an empty space. There was nothing there. Not even a single weed grew.. Chapter 885 - Chapter 885: The Land of Opportunity Chapter 885: The Land of Opportunity Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Daoist Eastern Wolf began to use his powerful soul power, and in an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy became chaotic. Slowly, an illusory crack appeared. This was the spatial crack that Qin Chen and the others were looking for, the place of opportunity left behind by the Blood Spirit God. The matter back then involved a lot of people. Someone took away the opportunities inside and even set up a trap, killing countless experts. Even the quasi-emperor puppet was left there forever. Daoist Eastern Wolf and the other chaotic demon kings didn¡¯t know who was the one who had tricked them into their current state. If it wasn¡¯t for that incident back then, they might have had a chance to break through to the quasi-emperor realm. Perhaps some of them would have already become quasi-emperors. Those who could escape from the spatial rift were not ordinary people. After all, only those who were extremely powerful could escape. Ordinary experts would have died long ago, wiped out by the clone of the Blood Spirit God. ¡°Master, 1 found it!¡± As the spatial fluctuations became increasingly intense, a crack that was large enough to accommodate a person appeared. This was the place where the tragedy happened. Qin Chen and the others slowly entered. After such a long time, there shouldn¡¯t be any terrifying danger inside. They still had to be careful though, otherwise, problems may really occur. After entering the spatial rift, everyone sighed in amazement. This place was simply a small world. It was probably half the size of a star. However, many places had turned into ruins. There was nothing left other than bones and weapons that littered the ground. It was enough to show how terrifying it was back then. ¡°This is the place of opportunity that you mentioned?¡± Qin Chen walked in front and looked at the ruins. Although this was a land of opportunity left behind by a Supreme, it felt like there were no longer any treasures inside. At the very least, this place could not be compared to some treasured lands. Either way, Qin Chen¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t to obtain treasures. What he wanted was the quasi-emperor puppet that was left behind. If the other party didn¡¯t take it away, it might still be here. At that time, Qin Chen would be able to control the puppet with a strand of his primordial spirit. The quasi-emperor puppet¡¯s power should be comparable to a quasi-emperor. At that time, almost no one would be able to stop them, unless other quasi-emperors interfered. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t that many quasi-emperors in this world. After all, quasi-emperors weren¡¯t weeds on the roadside. After breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm, one could start a sect or become the pillar of a large sect. Such experts would often be valued by the various large factions. Qin Chen¡¯s eyes lit up as he saw a black-robed man lying in the distance. The aura on the latter¡¯s body was extremely terrifying. ¡°That must be the quasi-emperor¡¯s puppet!¡¯ Daoist Eastern Wolf had witnessed the destruction of the quasi-emperors soul in the puppet, which meant the original body in the outside world had died as well. Otherwise, there was no reason why the other party wouldn¡¯t come here to retrieve this valuable quasi-emperor puppet after so many years. The value of the puppet was astonishing. Most quasi-emperors would retrieve it. After all, it was their second clone. ¡°What a pity.¡± The puppet under the black robe seemed to have been severely injured and looked tattered. He wondered if it could still be used. Qin Chen placed a spirit stone into the groove. The puppet seemed to have woken up, but it needed a huge amount of spirit stones to activate. After Qin Chen poured in more spirit stones, the quasi-emperor puppet¡¯s aura burst out. It was slightly weaker than that of a quasi-emperor but still a pleasant surprise. This puppet could still be used! Chapter 886 - Chapter 886: Quasi-emperor Puppet Chapter 886: Quasi-emperor Puppet Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Within the ruins, a puppet slowly stood up. Its damaged body emitted the energy fluctuations of a quasi-emperor, making the surrounding spiritual energy tremble. The terrifying scene made everyone feel as if they were being threatened by a quasi-emperor. This was definitely not an ordinary quasi-emperor puppet. It might even have the ability to kill the weakest quasi-emperor. It was a priceless treasure. Even if one wanted to forge such a puppet, one couldn¡¯t do so without accumulating half of one¡¯s life¡¯s worth. Even if one wanted to buy it, no one would sell it. Mysterious patterns appeared on the puppet. It seemed to be a technique from the ancient era, which was probably lost now. There were many wounds on the puppet¡¯s body. After countless battles, this was a cold-blooded machine that had hunted down quasi-emperors. Qin Chen was extremely shocked. With this treasure, he would be able to leave the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. He would even have the strength to fight against other quasi-emperors. Now, he no longer had any trump cards. He quickly separated a strand of his primordial spirit into the core of the puppet to control the puppet¡¯s array. With someone controlling it, only then could the puppet be considered to have come to life. It was no longer so stiff. Qin Chen could feel the puppet¡¯s power, something he had never experienced before. It was a pity that it was not at its peak. Everyone then collected the weapons scattered on the ground. There were some treasures among them. ¡°Where did you find the Blood Spirit God¡¯s incomplete technique?¡± Daoist Eastern Wolf hurriedly said, ¡°Ahead.¡± A wall stood thousands of miles away. There seemed to be blood-stained characters on the wall. This was the opportunity that the Blood Spirit God had left behind for future generations. By chanting this technique, one could summon one of his clones. No matter how much time had passed, the words on it still looked as if they had just been written with blood. Qin Chen quickly mastered the technique. It was created by the Blood Spirit God and required a certain price to be used. If it was used by the descendants of the Blood Spirit God, it would only cost a small amount of soul power. However, once an outsider used it, the Blood Spirit God would steal the user¡¯s soul power and even shake his foundation. ¡°This technique is not suitable for me.¡± Not only would one¡¯s soul force be stolen, but Daoist East Wolf also told Qin Chen that a mark had been planted in his body. The chaotic demon kings who had used this technique all had the mark of the Blood Spirit God in their bodies. If the Blood Spirit God wanted to find them, it would be easy. Qin Chen wouldn¡¯t cultivate this technique because of the possibility of being left with a mark. He did not want to die. He even suspected that the bloody case that broke out thousands of years ago might have been set up by the descendants of the Blood Spirit God. If he could find those people, he would be rich. There might have been many treasures here, but they had been taken away. He did not believe that the descendants of the Blood Spirit God would not have gotten anything. Daoist Eastern Wolf was trembling in fear. He couldn¡¯t believe that his master was so brave as to have designs on the descendant of a Supreme. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s nothing good here. We have to leave the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground as soon as possible.¡± At this point, they were not too far away from the edge of the demon race¡¯s forbidden ground. As Qin Chen left the spatial crack, everyone felt a little regretful. There were only some weapons here, which could be sold for a lot of spirit stones. Still, it was far from their expectations. God knows how long it would take for this spatial rift to completely collapse. The Blood Spirit God¡¯s cultivation technique was definitely not that simple. It was just a means for future generations. ¡°How big is the Supreme¡¯s plan?¡± Then, Qin Chen left without looking back..
