"That doesn't mean much."
Qin Chen flicked his fingernails and sneered, "The outcome is still uncertain. The reason I didn't act earlier and let them leave wasn't because I was afraid, but because I didn't want to get too entangled. With my current strength, killing him is still somewhat challenging, so I didn't bother with him for now. Fighting with that Holy Son of the Divine Light now would only allow others to take advantage, which isn't worthwhile."
"However, this doesn't mean I will let them go. Once I refine the Ren Wang Holy Son and that Tong Hu, and break through to the giant's realm, I will deal with him again."
Qin Chen's words weren't mere boasting. He was indeed constrained by his current level. Once he breaks through to the mid-stage Heavenly Saint, his physical body, soul, and divine abilities will see a massive increase, far beyond a simple boost in combat power.
At the mid-stage Heavenly Saint, one's understanding of the heavenly dao reaches a consummate state, allowing the body to resonate with the heavenly dao. At least, the power of time-based divine abilities can increase tenfold.
Even if that Holy Son of the Divine Light breaks through to the overlord realm, Qin Chen would not fear him at all.
Moreover, with Qin Chen's cultivation breakthrough, the power of the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc will also increase. At that time, he can merge with the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc, creating a terrifying barrier capable of trapping any expert, ensuring that the Divine Light Mirror won't escape again.
The Holy Son of the Divine Light is indeed strong. The aura he transmitted from afar made Qin Chen somewhat apprehensive, arguably the strongest genius Qin Chen has encountered.
However, Qin Chen is also eager to battle him, to hone his origin divine abilities. Since coming to the heavenly realm, Qin Chen hasn't faced many opponents of the same level, often crushing them easily. This isn't healthy, as only through the crucible of blood and fire can one truly stand at the pinnacle of the heavenly realm, forging a new future, experiencing a nirvana-like transformation, and further enhancing his origin divine abilities.
Qin Chen's display of such formidable confidence earned him both admiration and reassurance from the crowd.
Wei Siqing's gaze towards Qin Chen also changed. As the senior sister of Guanghan Palace, she had met many men, countless who wanted to win her favor, but Qin Chen is the only one who could make her change her expression.
Moreover, everyone now believes Qin Chen's words, given the astonishing strength he displayed earlier.
Especially when the Divine Light Mirror descended, and he punched the ancient mirror away, even the Blood God Holy Son almost wet his pants. Wei Siqing and the others are all exceptional talents, naturally aware of the terrifying nature of that strike.
"So, what should we do now, Brother Qin? Your deep divine abilities have truly impressed me. The Holy Son of the Divine Light and the Blood God Holy Son dared to provoke our Tian Gong. Should we send a message and gather all the Holy Sons of Tian Gong from various provinces? Then we can join forces with all the experts of Tian Gong to deal with the Holy Son of the Divine Light. That would ensure more certainty and avoid problems. After all, anyone daring to provoke Tian Gong is courting death."
Unknowingly, Zhou Wusheng's address had changed.
He used to call Qin Chen "Junior Brother," but now it felt inappropriate, so he started calling him Brother Qin.
His tone also shifted to a more consultative manner, looking at Qin Chen with a sense of unfathomable depth.
"This person... must be a reincarnated Saint Master."
He was convinced of this reasoning.
"Not appropriate."
Qin Chen thought for a moment, "The Holy Sons of our Tian Gong aren't a monolithic entity. I've heard that there are struggles among Tian Gong in various provinces. Cooperating with them is as dangerous as plotting with a tiger. Besides, I don't need their help. I alone am more than enough to kill the Holy Son of the Divine Light."
