Martial Master

“What kind of power is this...”

Qin Chen was shocked in his heart, but he was already prepared. His gaze sank, and the power of Heavenly Fire within his body activated. Boom! The aura of the Blue Lotus Demon Fire spread out, immediately countering the aura of the demonic fire.

However, as soon as the demonic fire was resisted, Qin Chen felt a wave of soul power surging toward him. This soul power was extremely terrifying, suppressing in Qin Chen’s mind, causing a series of howls to echo in his consciousness.

Qin Chen immediately activated the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique, and all the demonic fire and soul pressure disappeared in an instant. He was now firmly standing on the first step of the altar.

“What?

He actually stood firm.”

The dozens of top Overlords waiting below the altar to watch Qin Chen’s jokes all changed color, revealing expressions of shock.

These individuals did not walk up to the altar like Zhuge Xu and the others, but stood beneath it, not because they did not want to ascend, but because they were unable to do so. The altar was enveloped by terrifying auras of demonic fire and soul pressure. To stand firm on the altar required absolute strength and willpower.

They had all tried it before; they simply could not withstand this aura and therefore retreated beneath the altar. At this moment, they were all continuously comprehending the power of the demonic fire, attempting to neutralize the altar’s oppressive force, which is why they stood there.

In their view, it was nearly impossible for a mere Overlord like Qin Chen to step onto the altar. Without long-term comprehension, it would be impossible to withstand the demonic fire and the soul pressure from the altar.

But who would have thought that the outcome would leave them dumbfounded, each one of them staring in disbelief.

“This boy actually stood on the altar on his first attempt?”

The experts from the Dead Demon Tribe, Tu Mo Yu, the Holy Demon Tribe, Ling Yuan, the Little Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, and the Golden Crow Prince of the Royal Tomb all had their gazes shift.

“No wonder these people are all standing beneath the altar. I didn’t expect the pressure on top of the altar to be so immense. Could it be that this altar is the test of the Heavenly Fire Master? To obtain the inheritance of demonic fire, one must ascend to the top of this altar. Only those who reach the top and come into contact with the demonic fire can obtain the inheritance?”

Qin Chen pondered in his heart. He raised his head and saw that among the more than ten experts on the altar, most were at the middle tier, with not much difference between them, still a slight distance from the very top.

Qin Chen did not look at the demonic fire at the top of the altar but instead walked step by step toward Zhuge Xu.

Boom! Boom! With each step Qin Chen took onto the altar, the terrifying pressure emanating from above grew stronger. The aura of the heavenly fire was very strange; Qin Chen could sense a hint of disaster from it, as if this flame was ominous, and touching it would bring great danger to life and death.

But Qin Chen was unafraid. The Purple Sky Dou Sha Palace along with several flames within him activated simultaneously, instantly countering the aura of the demonic fire. As for the soul pressure, with Qin Chen's current soul cultivation, he would not be intimidated by this intense pressure.

In just a few breaths, Qin Chen surpassed a few experts who had stepped onto the altar before him and arrived in front of Zhuge Xu.

“Zhuge Xu, do you recognize me?”

Qin Chen said coldly.

“You must be that Qin Chen, the man of the woman from the hall before, right?”

Zhuge Xu looked at Qin Chen, and although he was shocked internally, his expression remained calm and composed: “Are you looking for revenge for your woman?

First of all, I didn't kill your woman; I had no part in that. Secondly, although she is of the human race, she practiced the techniques of the demon tribe. I have reason to suspect that she was in collusion with the demon tribe. As a human, if you are reasonable, you should not come looking for me.”
