Chapter 239 - 239: Killing Qiu Tu
“You are too weak!” Su Chen said indifferently.
His casual words gave a chilling feeling. Su Chen’s fingers squeezed together as the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art circulated fully.
A crisp sound rang out.
Qiu Tu’s fist was crushed by Su Chen, with white bone and blood exposed.
“Ahhh!” Qiu Tu’s face twisted in agony.
“Die!” Su Chen said calmly.
In the next moment, his body glowed golden like an ancient emperor awakening, black hair draped over his shoulders. His other hand also attacked Qiu Tu ruthlessly.
“No!” Qiu Tu’s expression changed as he roared helplessly. Before Su Chen he had no resistance, only one hand left to block.
Boom!
The golden fist descended, instantly spreading a destructive aura that turned Qiu Tu to dust under Su Chen’s punch. In the end, not a speck of flesh remained, gone from the world.
“One punch…”
The two pursuing Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses who had watched this looked at each other, shocked. One had to know that Qiu Tu was not weak. Even they didn’t dare confront each other casually. Yet now, Su Chen had killed him with one punch. If this news spread, it would throw the East Barrens into uproar again. They knew Su Chen rarely met his match after reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm but didn’t expect him to be this terrifying.
“Do you also want the Black Tortoise’s egg?”
Su Chen stowed Qiu Tu’s storage ring and then turned to the two Quasi-Saint Realm experts, his piercing gaze like swords stabbing their skin. The two shivered, quickly shaking their heads.
“No… Don’t dare…”
They were afraid! Su Chen was too terrifying.
“Then why are you still here?” Su Chen shouted.
The two instantly streaked into the sky without daring to linger another second, fearing the next would bring death like Qiu Tu.
“Big brother… you’re at the Quasi-Saint Realm now?”
At this moment, Qin Hao approached holding the egg, looking at Su Chen curiously.
“Yes,” Su Chen smiled slightly, nodding.
“Big brother, you’re so powerful! When can I be like you…” Qin Hao said, voice calm but a trace of loneliness still caught by Su Chen.
If he had Su Chen’s strength, he wouldn’t have been so hard-pressed today, perhaps even barging into the Shadowless Hall for revenge already.
Unfortunately, he was only at the God Altar Realm now, still several realms from the Quasi-Saint Realm. It wasn’t something he could just achieve immediately.
“Don’t overthink,” Su Chen consoled, patting his head. “Your future is destined to be extraordinary. Just diligently cultivate, and you’ll break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm very soon. For your future, the Quasi-Saint Realm will only be a starting point.”
Qin Hao’s current achievements were already shocking. He had only cultivated a little over a year. His strength alone could make him a core disciple of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, yet he was only six!
A six-year-old God Altar Realm disciple was quite shocking in all history.
“Big brother, the patterns on this egg are so beautiful. If I eat it, do you think 1’11 instantly break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm?”
Hearing Su Chen’s words, Qin Hao started fiddling with the Black Tortoise’s egg, tapping it rhythmically. The patterns seemed to brighten under his touch.
Su Chen’s face darkened on hearing this. What had Qin Hao experienced this past year that his mind was filled with eating things?
“I advise you not to eat it,” he said gravely. “It’s better to keep it. You can comprehend the Black Tortoise Divine Technique within, which may greatly boost your combat strength.”
The Black Tortoise divine beast was extremely rare now. Neither the Central Plains nor the East Barrens had traces of it. Keeping this divine beast could make it a companion in the future.
Humans generally couldn’t use the divine powers of the Demon Race, but Qin Hao had broken this rule. His Suan Ni Divine Technique was extraordinary. If he gained the Black Tortoise Divine Technique too, combining both would exponentially raise his strength.
“The Black Tortoise Divine Technique?” Qin Hao’s eyes lit up at this. He possessed the Suan Ni Divine Technique, so he was well aware of just how powerful this divine technique, passed down through the bloodline of divine beasts, truly was.
“Got it. Thank you, big brother!” Holding the Black Tortoise’s egg solemnly, Qin Hao nodded to Su Chen.
“Just don’t think of eating it anymore,” Su Chen chuckled.
He then turned to look into the distance where Ye Ruxue was transcending tribulation. Though four lightning tribulations had passed, there was no sign of it stopping.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ye Ruxue would transcend nine Nirvana tribulations. As a reincarnator, anything less than nine Nirvana Tribulations would be somewhat lacking.
“Now that the Black Tortoise’s egg and blood essence have owners, it’s time to stop this chaotic battle, and help Ye Ruxue withstand the tribulation.”
Su Chen muttered this softly. Soon after, he summoned the golden chariot, bringing Qin Hao speeding over.
At a single glance, all that could be seen were divine mountains, countless temples, and halls stretching across the landscape, dotting the mountains and fields. The rich spiritual energy here had fully liquefied into crystal clear lake water.
This should have been an immortal cultivation paradise, but unfortunately, most of the palaces were now shattered ruins. No intact halls could be seen. Some unknown crisis had befallen the ancient God Demon Sect, the entire sect forcefully wiped out by a supremely terrifying power.
Many who entered this small world found spiritual herbs, cultivation methods, and ancient Dao weapons that had lost spirituality. Upon closer reflection, a deeply unsettling question arose. In a world so vast, there wasn’t a single corpse of a disciple from the God Demon Sect to be found!
Logically, even if the sect was destroyed, some corpses should remain, whether sect disciples or enemies. Yet bizarrely, not one corpse or even skeleton existed in the entire space, only remnants of broken walls, as if the terrifying existence had purposely cleaned the battlefield, leaving only spiritual herbs behind.
If one were to think carefully, one would realize that this place was filled with eerie and unsettling elements at every turn!
