“Since you’ve already broken through to the Nirvana Realm, there are matters that must be addressed. With me present today, no one will dare to interfere with your actions,” Su Chen declared as he put away the storage ring.
While speaking, his gaze remained fixed on the Spirit Race, the Qin family, and the other formidable figures. Each person his gaze passed over couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily. It was as if they were being targeted by a malevolent deity, sending chills down their spines. This was a plain and overt threat, one that everyone present clearly understood. However, none dared to provoke Su Chen at this moment. His identity was evident, and his strength was inscrutable. Nobody wanted to confront him now.
“Thank you, Holy Son.” Huo Xi nodded graciously, accepting Su Chen’s goodwill. Her gratitude conveyed her willingness to owe Su Chen a favor, a favor that weighed heavily on her conscience. She knew that in the future, she would have to repay it herself.
“Qin Yu, why don’t you step forward to meet your doom?” Huo Xi’s voice was cold as she turned around. She wore a flowing white robe, and her steps were graceful. Her black hair danced in the wind, her eyes gleaming with a hint of frost. A palpable aura of impending battle radiated from her being.
“Heh… A mere cripple dares to provoke me?” Qin Yu sneered. “Simply ignorant!” With these words, he ascended into the sky. Bathed in divine radiance, he wielded a long spear, standing tall under the vast heavens. His presence and grace drew the attention of many. If it weren’t for Qin Yuan overshadowing him, his reputation might have soared even higher, making it clear to all in the East Barrens.
In the Qin family, there existed another terrifying young prodigy!
“The peak stage of the Nirvana Realm?” Tang Shui from the Infinite Demon Sect raised an eyebrow, a trace of astonishment flickering in his eyes. When Qin Yu first appeared, his aura was formidable. However, few had paid much attention to his exact cultivation. After all, he was just a young prodigy, and no matter how strong he was, he was still in the Nirvana Realm. But now, upon closer examination, Qin Yu seemed a bit out of the ordinary.
Qin Yu’s strength was clearly on par with the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, and he had already reached the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm, on the verge of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. If such a talent took another step forward, he might even be compared to Su Chen.
“The Qin family’s resources are unimaginable! Any random young prodigy can make us holy lands feel inferior!” Tang Shui expressed envy. Their Infinite Demon Sect’s Holy Son was only in the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. Not to mention comparing him to Qin Yuan, he wasn’t even qualified to be compared to Qin Yu!
“Heh…” Qin Li chuckled, pride evident on his face. “Qin Yuan has the potential to become an immortal, so naturally, his followers are no ordinary individuals. While Qin Yu’s talent may not match up to Qin Yuan’s, he still possesses the potential of a Great Emperor Realm expert!”
These words sent shockwaves through the crowd. Whether there were great emperors secretly existing in this era was uncertain, but at the very least, there were no such experts on the surface. Qin Li’s words subtly conveyed that their Qin family would undoubtedly produce a true immortal and a great emperor in the future.
Many wanted to argue, but at this moment, they couldn’t find a valid counterargument. After all, Qin Yu’s displayed aura did indeed carry the potential of a young great emperor.
“If he possesses the potential of a Great Emperor Realm expert, he must be exceptionally powerful, right?” Su Chen, standing nearby, wore a sly smile.
“Heh…” Qin Li sneered upon hearing this, glancing at Su Chen with indifference. He proudly stated, “We’ll find out shortly. I hope you won’t be too upset later.”
This was a preemptive warning to Su Chen. Su Chen was already invincible among his peers, and unless a Saint Realm expert intervened, no one present could restrain him. However, if Huo Xi were to be slain by Qin Yu shortly, Su Chen’s reaction remained unknown. After all, Su Chen had invested a lot of effort into Huo Xi, particularly with the numerous spirit stones. Qin Li knew that even he couldn’t produce so many spirit stones, and not even the Qin family would willingly offer so many to assist an individual with an Eternal Forbidden Body in passing the Nirvana Tribulation. If Huo Xi died in battle, all of Su Chen’s prior efforts would be in vain. In such a scenario, Su Chen would undoubtedly be enraged and might take action against Qin Yu. Thinking of this, Qin Li felt it necessary to issue a preliminary warning to Su Chen, preventing him from reacting excessively.
With this statement, once Su Chen acted, everyone present would have a reason to stand in his way. When the time came, no matter how powerful Su Chen was, could he truly slay all the experts present?
“Very well! I look forward to it,” Su Chen said, shaking his head and chuckling. He then turned his gaze back to the arena.
Huo Xi stood aloft, her silver-white battle robe producing a metallic ring. The Exquisite Pagoda hovered above her head, emitting a blinding light that bathed the surroundings. Her exquisite eyes gazed forward with a chilling intensity.
Buzz…
A murderous aura emanated, sending shivers down the spines of those who felt it.
“A cripple will always be a cripple, even after passing the Nirvana Tribulation,” Qin Yu declared, his expression frosty.
As he finished speaking, he pointed towards the sky. Above his head, a black star appeared, filling the heavens and descending upon Huo Xi. This star was dazzling and enormous, covering an area of nearly a thousand miles, resembling a comet hurtling down from the distant void. Before it even landed, its overwhelming pressure made it difficult for people to breathe.
“This is my Qin family’s earth-level lower-rank divine power, the Falling Star Technique! While this technique is not known for its might, I didn’t expect Qin Yu to have mastered it to such an extraordinary degree!” Qin Li explained with a smile.
The crowd was left speechless, but many were simultaneously astonished. To think that a mere earth-level lower-rank divine power could exhibit such power! The force wielded by Qin Yu was no less impressive than that of some heaven-level divine powers. Even the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of various sects couldn’t help but show solemn expressions upon witnessing this divine power.
“Humph!” Huo Xi snorted disdainfully. Her battle robe fluttered, producing a sonorous ring, while the Exquisite Pagoda above her head hummed, releasing numerous beams of divine light that transformed into sharp swords, slashing toward Qin Yu.
Boom!
The black star only endured for less than a second before turning to dust, vanishing from existence..
