“No, it's impossible. The ancient holy veins at the Holy Lord level are too rare to be wasted here.”
Unfortunately, back when the Lord of the Wild Gods sought to break through to the Martial Venerable, he not only sacrificed the entire clan but even offered up all the ancient holy veins within the clan, along with countless treasures. Otherwise, wouldn't this be much less troublesome?
“However, although I cannot absorb this ancient holy vein at the Holy Lord level, aren't there other holy veins?”
That Jue Xingtian is a powerful figure from the Death Spirit Domain, halfway into the mid-Heavenly Saint level. This time, he came to the Ancient Ruins; surely, he wouldn't have come without some holy vein reserves on him?
Suddenly, Qin Chen coldly smiled.
“With my current cultivation, even if I haven't broken through to the Heavenly Saint level, I need not fear Jue Xingtian any longer. It’s time to go find him.”
As he spoke, Qin Chen no longer hesitated, taking out the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate, and instantly traversed outside, arriving at the cave outside the altar.
Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene. Jue Xingtian was actually just outside the cave.
Boom! Outside the cave, strands of terrifying ancient aura swirled around. Jue Xingtian was spiraling within this ancient aura, his body emitting brilliant light, and his aura growing thicker, becoming even more terrifying than before.
“Could it be that he has broken through to the mid-Heavenly Saint level?”
“No, not quite yet.”
Qin Chen sensed Jue Xingtian's aura, which was almost identical to that of a mid-Heavenly Saint, but his cultivation had not fully broken through.
“Good, good, good. If he really has broken through, that would be troublesome.”
Qin Chen felt completely relieved.
At the moment Qin Chen spotted Jue Xingtian, Jue Xingtian also saw Qin Chen.
“Hahahaha.”
Jue Xingtian's heart was filled with mixed feelings of surprise and joy. He stood up abruptly, and boundless power erupted from his body. His eyes opened wide, radiating divine light, and it was as if a volcano were erupting within him.
The baptism of ancient power led to a frenzied advancement in his strength.
“Smelly kid, I was just about to break through to the mid-Heavenly Saint level and come find you. I didn’t expect you to run out yourself. Hm?
Why has your aura become much stronger?
Did you gain some fortuitous encounter inside? Hahaha, unfortunately, in front of me, Jue Xingtian, a half-step Heavenly Saint like you, any fortuitous encounter is insufficient. Everything you have will eventually become my harvest.”
Jue Xingtian roared, transforming into a ruthless executioner, with the phantom of an execution axe appearing before him, and he violently slashed at Qin Chen.
He aimed to kill Qin Chen in one strike and seize his opportunities.
“You think you can kill me? You're too naive, Jue Xingtian. You probably don't even realize what kind of situation you're facing.”
Suddenly, a nameless sword appeared in Qin Chen's hand, and with a single strike of killing intent, he slashed out.
The collision of their martial arts erupted into a series of spatial explosions, the resulting power shaking the entire cave with a deafening roar.
In one strike, both sides were evenly matched, not giving way to each other.
“What?
You are several times stronger than before. What on earth did you gain behind that door?!”
Jue Xingtian revealed a shocked expression. He had been cultivating here and had achieved an astonishing increase in strength. Logically, even if Qin Chen had made a breakthrough, it should have been difficult for him to be a match for him. Yet now, in one strike, they were evenly matched, leaving Jue Xingtian astounded.
It must be noted that his current cultivation was sufficient to withstand a true mid-Heavenly Saint level expert.
“I received the inheritance from the Eternal Sword Master. Indeed, my killing intent has improved.”
Qin Chen took Jue Xingtian's attack head-on and immediately understood that his current strength was far superior to before.
