"I can't wait any longer," Qin Chen shook his head. "If I don't break through soon, I will fall further behind Shangguan Xier and Feng Shaoyu, so I must break through as quickly as possible. Furthermore, the power of thunder contained in this Sea of Thunder, as Lao Yuan mentioned, has a strong suppressive effect on the parasitic seeds or the Demon Tribe. With the time and place in our favor, there's no need to hesitate because of risk."
"Since this day will come sooner or later, perhaps it's more appropriate to do it here in the Sea of Thunder," Qin Chen was resolute. He was the type of person who, once he made up his mind, would execute it firmly.
"But..." Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue were still a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, Qin Chen, if you really become a puppet of the Demon Tribe, I'll be the first to kill you." Fu Qiankun looked over seriously, his voice heavy, yet not a hint of jest, "Just focus on breaking through."
"Thanks," Qin Chen patted Fu Qiankun's shoulder.
"Don't make it sound like a life-and-death situation. Even the Valley of Death couldn't kill you; I refuse to believe this little parasitic seed will," Fu Qiankun shrugged, pretending not to care.
"Qianxue, Ruyue, rest assured. I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't confident," Qin Chen looked at Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue, smiling slightly.
"Young Master Chen, go ahead, we'll be waiting for you," said Ji Ruyue and You Qianxue, looking at Qin Chen silently, speaking firmly as neither wanted to add pressure on him.
Qin Chen smiled slightly, immediately sitting cross-legged within the thunder, swallowed several pills, and began to fully operate the Nine Star God Emperor Art, aiming to break through to the mid-stage of Martial God realm.
Buzz!
A slight, invisible, terrifying fluctuation emanated from Qin Chen's body. In fact, Qin Chen had long accumulated enough to break through to the mid-stage of Martial God, but because of the parasitic seed, he had been holding back. Now, he actively urged the Nine Star God Emperor Art, with the invisible rule power descending instantly, about to step into the mid-stage Martial God.
Rumble!
In the heavens and the earth, invisible rule power gathered, a vast rule force winding around him, forming a vacuum of rules.
Although breaking through to mid-stage Martial God wouldn't cause heavenly tribulations, Qin Chen was too unique, still attracting a special phenomenon.
When the invisible rule power fully merged into Qin Chen's body, pushing it to the ninth mid-stage level, suddenly, the parasitic seed in Qin Chen's mind violently reacted.
Thump, thump, thump...
The golden parasitic seed jumped frantically; each jump emitted a formidable power, this power surging through Qin Chen's body, gradually altering it.
Moreover, golden tentacles appeared, instantly burrowing into Qin Chen's soul sea, and a sinister force began to seep into his soul sea, gradually taking control of it.
Unique forces continually merged into Qin Chen's body.
"Qin Chen, the parasitic seed is gradually taking over your soul sea," Lao Yuan's voice came through.
"I know," Qin Chen nodded. He had previously suspected that as he broke through to mid-stage Martial God, the parasitic seed would indeed try to take over, and it was true. He had a feeling that when he broke through to mid-stage Martial God, that would be the moment the parasitic seed would completely take over him.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the parasitic seed to fully take over, then launching a desperate counterattack.
"It seems you're planning a counterattack at the last moment. If that's the case, you must harness the power of the parasitic seed, attempt to comprehend, absorb, and integrate it," suggested Lao Yuan suddenly. Qin Chen, initially resisting the force, felt a movement in his heart upon hearing this and asked, "What's the benefit?"
"If you can withstand the parasitic seed's takeover and completely absorb it, your cultivation will soar to the upper-level Demon Lord, but your advancement will halt there," Lao Yuan explained, "I don't recommend this."
