Martial Master

The group of sarcastic onlookers had their eyes nearly popping out of their heads, mouths agape, faces twitching, unable to utter a single word.

Situ Zhen let out a sigh of relief. Previously, he had been terrified by Qin Chen, but now seeing everyone’s expression gave him an inexplicable sense of pleasure, causing him to laugh heartily.

"Impossible, he actually blocked it."

"Why is this Melting Flame Beast so weak?"

"This shouldn't be the case. Look at the aura of this Melting Flame Beast; even a late-stage Martial Emperor could easily swallow it. How could a mid-stage peak Martial Emperor block it? This is insane!"

After a while, someone finally regained their senses and spoke up in shock.

At that moment, the Melting Flame Beast seemed a bit enraged, letting out a roar as it continued to pounce towards Qin Chen.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chen scoffed, launching a flurry of punches. Each time the Melting Flame Beast pounced, it was sent flying, unable to get close to him. Instead, countless fragments of melting flames and crystals were sent flying everywhere, littering the ground.

After more than a dozen attempts to attack, the Melting Flame Beast surprisingly became afraid of Qin Chen. It let out a roar and ceased its assault.

In fact, Qin Chen had the capability to kill this Melting Flame Beast, but with everyone watching, just being able to approach the Rule Divine Tree was already shocking enough. There was no need to overdo it.

"Damn, the Melting Flame Beast has given up?"

"What the hell!"

"It seems this Melting Flame Beast really isn't that impressive; it looks fierce but is actually weak."

Some people commented, and many nodded in agreement.

It seemed that this Melting Flame Beast was indeed all bark and no bite. It appeared very fearsome, but its actual strength was lacking; there could be no other explanation.

"Roar!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Melting Flame Beast, which had been frightened by Qin Chen, seemed to understand and let out an angry roar, charging at the speaker.

"Hehe."

The man coldly chuckled, completely unafraid, and directly threw a punch, looking quite suave.

What was there to fear from a Melting Flame Beast that couldn’t even take down a mid-stage peak Martial Emperor?

But the next moment, his expression changed.

With a loud bang, his punch landed on the Melting Flame Beast as if striking against a solid mountain of black iron. An immense force surged forth, instantly shattering his punch’s might, and then it brutally collided with him.

Crack!

The sound of shattering bones echoed, and the man was sent flying, his chest caved in, ribs broken beyond counting, blood and chunks of internal organs spilling from his mouth.

Pfff!

It seemed the Melting Flame Beast was still unsatisfied. It bit down on the man, instantly tearing him apart, blood splattering everywhere.

The scene fell into silence.

Everyone was left in shock.

Just a moment ago, that man had claimed the Melting Flame Beast was all show and no substance, yet in the blink of an eye, he was torn apart, leaving everyone feeling chills down their spines.

After killing one person, the Melting Flame Beast continued its assault, leading to chaos as a group of people worked together to subdue it, smashing it into pieces.

Only then did the crowd awaken to the reality that it wasn't that the Melting Flame Beast was too weak, but rather that Qin Chen was too strong.

Hiss!

Gasps of cold air echoed; a mere mid-stage peak genius was comparable to a late-stage peak Martial Emperor. It was terrifyingly abnormal.

Qin Chen paid no attention to the crowd's astonishment and continued to move forward.

Moments later, he arrived at the position of the first camp.

Here, the power of the rules was so strong it was maddening, causing the void to tremble slightly.

Of course, this sensation was merely an illusion; the laws of heaven and earth existed to maintain the operation of the universe, so how could they destroy the void?

He was now only a few dozen meters from the Rule Divine Tree. A thread of invisible rule power surged towards him, making everyone’s hearts race. This rule power carried a terrifying destructive force; anyone without sufficient strength who rashly entered would surely be torn to shreds by the invisible rule power.
