“Wha, what…?” Gu Zunren and the others stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, stunned and at a loss for words.
With a single punch, Lao Yuan had been blown away.
It was unbelievable.
“So strong!”
Gu Zunren’s throat moved, his eyes fixed in disbelief.
The space where the two fought had become weak, like pieces of paper, torn apart by the clash between Qin Chen and Lao Yuan, continuously cracking and repairing before finally settling down.
Whoosh! Qin Chen flew out from the fluctuations and approached Lao Yuan. “Lao Yuan, are you alright?”
Lao Yuan burst out from the ground, his body covered in cracks and crystal lines, but as a blood-red source energy enveloped him, the cracks healed again. Lao Yuan stared blankly at Qin Chen, incredulously saying, “Qin Chen, how can you be this strong?”
Qin Chen was also shocked by his own move; he had not expected to blow Lao Yuan away with a single punch.
“This is the manifestation of the soul, combined with the power of a plane’s child,” Da Hei Mao said, soaring up. At this moment, he truly believed that Qin Chen had mastered the manifestation of the soul, a realm that even the Earth Saint experts of the Heavenly Realm might not achieve.
“Qin Chen, I can feel it; your previous strike has already matched the previous experts of the Heavenly Realm,” Lao Yuan said solemnly.
The Heavenly Realm expert he spoke of was the Pucai Jun that Qin Chen had previously slain. When facing Pucai Jun, everyone had been unable to resist at all, and now that Qin Chen had blown Lao Yuan away, Lao Yuan felt that Qin Chen's strength had completely surpassed the previous Shitian Demon Lord and was not far from the previous experts of the Heavenly Realm.
The key point was that Qin Chen was not even in the Saint Realm yet. Once he broke through to the Saint Realm, what level would he reach?
Everyone found it hard to imagine.
“Haha, if we were to encounter an expert from the Heavenly Realm now, we wouldn't be so embarrassed,” Gu Zunren laughed. “With the master's strength, plus the master’s avatars and Lao Yuan, we could give those Heavenly Realm experts a heavy lesson without them knowing.”
Da Hei Mao and the others also chuckled.
Clearly, with Qin Chen's awakening and breakthrough, everyone’s previously heavy hearts instantly settled down. It felt as if as long as Qin Chen was around, everyone would be filled with a sense of security, a feeling that only Qin Chen could bring them.
“The immediate priority is to find the location of those Heavenly Realm experts. Shangguan Xi’er is currently with them, and I suspect this person definitely won’t willingly submit; she will surely play some tricks. We must find them quickly and slay all those Heavenly Realm experts,” Qin Chen said, a chill spreading through his heart at the thought of the Heavenly Realm experts currently rampaging across Tianwu Continent.
“Qin Chen, rest assured. We'll handle this matter; we have mobilized the powers of various factions to secretly investigate Shangguan Xi’er’s movements. Those Heavenly Realm powers are different from the Demon Tribe; their purpose for coming to Tianwu Continent is simple: to seek the origin of heaven and earth. There aren’t many places in the Martial Domain that can attract them, and with some deliberate investigation, we should soon receive feedback,” Da Hei Mao said.
Although they quickly lost track of Shangguan Xi’er after she left Tianlei City, Da Hei Mao knew that this group of Heavenly Realm experts wouldn’t go to many places, only a handful, making it very convenient to investigate.
“In that case, let’s set off directly. Once we reach the Martial Domain, the news should come back,” Qin Chen decided.
He found time to meet his grandfather, Qin Batian, and left the rules divine stones and many top-grade true stones in the Qiankun Transformation Jade Dish at the Yaozu Mountain Range before he departed from the residence of the Chen Di Pavilion.
With these rules divine senses and top-grade true stones, the disciples in the Chen Di Pavilion would surely experience a tremendous improvement in their cultivation speed and strength.
