Chapter 402 - 402: The Great Battle Begins
At the next moment, a figure with a noble bearing appeared in the void. He walked slowly from a distance.
His steps were incredibly light, and his clothes fluttered, his appearance flawless. His eyes were warm, and he wore a spotless white robe, resembling an exiled immortal descending from beyond the nine heavens.
His presence sent a shiver through many hearts.
Qin Yuan!
This prodigy had already revealed two extraordinary talents before Su Chen emerged. If it weren’t for one of his talents coming from his cousin, his reputation might have soared even higher.
But even so, he left many breathless. Before reaching the age of twenty, he had advanced to the late stage of the Nirvana Realm. Although his potential wasn’t on par with Su Chen’s, it surpassed many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
Given another ten years, he would undoubtedly step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Following Qin Yuan was a man in gray. People glanced briefly but quickly averted their eyes. In many minds, this figure was already labeled Qin Yuan’s Dao protector due to his Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation.
“Yuan’er is here?” Qin Ziteng saw Qin Yuan and smiled, stroking his beard. He spoke casually, “In just half a year, my son’s strength has improved. It seems the outcome of today’s battle is decided!”
Compliments echoed around as his voice fell. Many had come for Qin Yuan, considering the Qin family’s apparent strength more formidable than Su Chen’s.
The Qin family’s Quasi-Emperor Realm ancestor was no laughing matter. Provoking Su Chen might lead to death, but provoking the Qin family meant a hundred percent chance of death. Unless they had the same confidence as Su Chen. However, the majority of the forces present lacked the assurance Su Chen possessed.
Qin Hao’s expression turned icy, his eyes gleaming ominously. Two divine lights flickered in his eyes, resembling flashes of lightning from hell, piercing into the divine souls of those present, seizing and dominating their spirits, with a sea of killing intent.
In his hand, a long sword had appeared at some unknown moment, exuding an ancient aura. The material used in its construction remained a mystery, with traces of the ages clinging to it, as if it had witnessed the countless changes of time.
The sword emanated a divine light, covering hundreds of miles with its sword intent. Those within its range felt a bone-chilling aura as if a demonic deity had fixed its gaze upon them.
On the other side, Qin Yuan stood with a smile, unperturbed by the killing intent. Instead, he glanced around the void with interest.
In Qin Yuan’s eyes, no matter how brilliant Qin Hao appeared, he couldn’t compare. What interested him more was Su Chen.
Yet, after scanning the surroundings, Su Chen was nowhere to be seen.
“He didn’t come? Or is he hiding in the dark?” Qin Yuan’s smile deepened. He had intentionally invited Su Chen earlier, testing his response. The reply he received was clear. Su Chen would definitely be present. Yet, now it seemed Su Chen had reneged on his word.
The arrival of Qin Yuan was inconsequential to him, as he was well-prepared. If Su Chen didn’t come, it would mean fewer constraints.
A thunderous boom echoed.
Between Qin Hao and Qin Yuan, a mountain collapsed, and an invisible killing intent surged and roared like an unseen ocean, raging silently. Neither of them stepped onto the specially prepared dueling platform. On the contrary, they stood in the void, ready to engage.
The scene prompted many to quickly retreat.
Fortunately, there were numerous experts present, including Saint Realm powerhouses, especially Qin Yuan’s father, Qin Ziteng. With these powerful individuals present, there was no need to worry. The two Nirvana Realm prodigies wouldn’t cause any world-shattering effects.
Boom!
Another mountain disintegrated, and countless stones turned into powder in the void. Following that, the mountain began to collapse, rocks piercing through the clouds, and dust rising, creating a dark and oppressive scene. The powerful killing intent made people’s hair stand on end.
If anyone dared to rashly intervene, with slightly weaker strength, they would probably turn into a cloud of blood mist at the first moment. Within a radius of several thousand miles, countless birds and animals sensed the unusual aura and scattered in all directions, creating chaos everywhere.
“These two are probably the only ones beneath Fellow Daoist Su Chen, unique existences. In a world without Fellow Daoist Su Chen, I’m afraid no one can contend with these two!”
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen is beyond the reach of common sense!”
“For these two to compare themselves with Fellow Daoist Su Chen, they still lack a bit!”
Just as the crowd was discussing, Qin Hao suddenly moved! He let out a long roar, traversing the golden clouds, shaking the mountains, causing all things to wither. It was as if a Suan Ni was reborn, flowing with endless divine light.
“Suan Ni Divine Technique!”
Qin Hao immediately used the Suan Ni Divine Technique, without holding back at all, revealing the inherited secret technique of the demonic beast Suan Ni!
Behind him, a massive Suan Ni was reborn, with solid scales and endless vitality, as if a true Suan Ni from ancient times had descended. The terrifying aura made the heavens and earth tremble.
The moment the Suan Ni appeared, it roared towards the sky, wielding its huge claws, tearing through the void, and charging towards Qin Yuan.
At this moment, it was as if a huge hole had been scratched in the world. Time stopped. Wherever the giant claw passed, it destroyed everything, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
“So powerful!”
Countless people felt a suffocating sensation at this moment. This was too terrifying! Qin Hao was clearly a human, but the power of the Suan Ni Divine Technique he used was extremely terrifying. It was as if a true descendant of the Suan Ni was using this technique…
Even in the eyes of many, even if a pure-blooded Suan Ni were here, the divine technique it executed might not have the might of Qin Hao.
“The battle today might not be as one-sided as we imagined. Although Qin Hao is missing the Longevity Immortal Body, his strength is still not to be underestimated. Perhaps, for Qin Yuan, this will be a bitter battle!” An elder spoke, his expression extremely solemn.
Many thought that after losing the Longevity Immortal Body, Qin Hao’s combat strength would drop significantly at the same level.. But now, it seemed that they had all made a mistake! Even without the Longevity Immortal Body, Qin Flao was still a top prodigy!
