At this moment, Qin Chen stood proudly atop the Myriad Realm Demon Tree, surrounded by boundless demonic energy, like a demon god presiding over heaven and earth, claiming supremacy.
Now, the Earth Saint elder of the Holy Demon Tribe was bound, the remnant soul of the Yan Luo Holy Master was damaged to the point of not being able to coalesce, and figures like Jue Ming were barely alive, hanging on by a thread. Apart from Ao Lie and the others, only Qin Chen wielded control over everything.
And Ao Lie and his companions were Qin Chen's allies from the start. Even if they weren't, Qin Chen would not fear them. At this moment, having controlled the Myriad Realm Demon Tree, he was invincible here, regardless of Ao Lie's presence or even ten Ao Lies.
"How could this be, how could you...?" "How did you accomplish this?" "This is impossible."
On the Myriad Realm Demon Tree, Jue Ming, Xue Wudao, Du Luoxin, Gu Liushen, and others, though barely alive, looked at Qin Chen in utter shock.
They could understand if the Yan Luo Holy Master won.
They would be resigned if the Holy Demon Tribe elder triumphed.
Even if Jue Ming prevailed, they would be somewhat convinced. But Qin Chen, a young genius who was not even an Earth Saint, how... how did he do it?
The remnants of the Yan Luo Holy Master and the Holy Demon Tribe elder struggled in pain, incredulously staring at Qin Chen, roaring in anger. They could not believe, did not want to believe, that a human could accomplish all this. Even now, they were unwilling to accept it.
Feeling the incredulous gazes of all, Qin Chen smiled faintly, first looking at Jue Ming: "Actually, I never trusted you from the beginning..."
"Never trusted me?"
Jue Ming was stunned. What did Qin Chen mean?
"Outside the Yan Luo Holy Master's demonic corpse, I was the first to arrive. Naturally, I saw you leading the Wukong organization and the Soulfire family in opening the demonic corpse, particularly the formidable demonic array you set up, which was not something ordinary humans could accomplish. It was then that I started suspecting whether you were human."
Qin Chen smiled slightly, expressing gratitude to the Abyss Demon Secret Realm, to the Sky Patch Palace's inheritance, and most importantly, to the Abyss Demon Lord's legacy.
Having experienced the Abyss Demon Secret Realm and everything else, Qin Chen gained an incredibly deep understanding of the Demon Tribe, especially after receiving the Abyss Demon Lord's legacy. Jue Ming's behavior while setting up the demonic array and opening the Yan Luo Holy Master's demonic corpse had already aroused Qin Chen's suspicion.
However, at that time, Qin Chen was not yet certain.
Jue Ming said incredulously: "But later, you..."
"Later, why did I agree to cooperate with you, is that it?"
Qin Chen laughed, "If I didn't agree to cooperate with you, how could I confirm your identity, and how could I learn about your conspiracy and plans?
The moment I entered the Hall of Life and Death, I already sensed your hidden aura. I played along, clashing with Nifeng deliberately, to lure you out."
"Indeed, you fell for it."
"Impossible."
Jue Ming said incredulously: "My concealment skill is a heritage technique of the Holy Demon Tribe. Under the veil of the Yan Luo demonic aura in the Hall of Life and Death, how could you detect it? Even with special techniques, you couldn't control the Yan Luo demonic aura."
Qin Chen smiled faintly, not answering directly, just saying: "There's nothing impossible about it. Your concealment skill is indeed impressive, but it couldn't hide from me."
Naturally, Jue Ming was using the Holy Demon Tribe's heritage concealment technique, while Qin Chen possessed the Abyss Demon Tribe's legacy from the Lord of the Myriad Demons. How could the two be compared?
"In fact, I deliberately suggested leaving with Ao Lie and the others to test your schemes. By then, I was sure you were of the Demon Tribe, although I didn't yet know which demonic race you belonged to. But it didn't matter; regardless of your demonic race, entering the Hall of Life and Death so early without proceeding further, but waiting outside the hall for us, I knew you had a scheme that required us."
