"Not bad," Qin Chen looked at the people in front of him, including the Thieves of Conviction and the Lord of War Sect, and smiled. Over the years, forces like the Thieves of Conviction had rapidly grown in the Void Tide Sea, expanding their operations not only to the Eastern Heaven Realm but also penetrating the other three Heaven Realms.
After Qin Chen and his group entered the Void Tide Sea, they established contact with them, which is why they were waiting here.
However, due to the lack of top-tier power, although the Thieves of Conviction had spread throughout the Void Tide Sea, they hadn't gained significant influence in the other Heaven Realms. This time, Qin Chen's return was meant to address this issue.
"Qin Chen, is this your force in the Void Tide Sea?" Ji Wuxue glanced at Qin Chen in surprise. He knew that when Qin Chen first came to the Southern Heaven Realm, he wasn't even at the late-stage Saint Master level, and he hadn't expected him to develop such a force in the Void Tide Sea. Although these people seemed mediocre to Ji Wuxue, with the strongest only approaching the peak Saint Master level, it was quite remarkable for Qin Chen, given his cultivation back then, to establish such a force.
As for the Chaotic Poison Venerable, he merely glanced at the Lord of War Sect and others without raising an eyebrow.
The Lord of War Sect and the Thieves of Conviction were apprehensive as they glanced at Ji Wuxue and the others, as the invisible aura emanating from Ji Wuxue suppressed them, making it hard for them to breathe.
"Master, are we returning to Dongguang City now?" The Lord of War Sect cautiously asked.
"No hurry, I need to visit a place first," Qin Chen finished speaking and swiftly flew towards a distant location. In a moment, he had stopped in a patch of void.
This was the secret realm where he had received the inheritance of the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable. Later, the secret realm exploded and turned into nothingness, leaving this patch of void as a broken world.
The Lord of War Sect and others followed closely.
"I remember there was a mysterious space here, not knowing where it leads. Since we're passing by, I might as well take a look," Qin Chen activated the Heavenly Poison Entropy Fire, which immediately surged with excitement. Having stayed here for countless years to trap the Soul Demon Tribe Venerable, it was inevitably excited to return here once more.
Boom! The terrifying Heavenly Poison Entropy Fire spread out, causing this patch of void to ripple. After absorbing the Chaotic Poison Venerable's toxins, the Heavenly Poison Entropy Fire carried the aura of a Venerable, having recovered significantly, almost feeling like a true Venerable flame.
Squinting his eyes, Qin Chen spread an invisible spatial fluctuation outward, allowing everything in this patch of void to clearly manifest in his mind as he meticulously searched.
"What is Qin Chen looking for?" Ji Wuxue frowned.
"It might be related to the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable," You Qianxue said, recognizing this place, which was once the secret realm of the Heavenly Poison Pill Venerable.
"Found it." Qin Chen called out, his body flickering as he instantly arrived at a spot in the void. Extending his right hand, with a bang, that patch of void split open slightly. It was the space channel Qin Chen had entered back then to obtain the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, a scorching flame aura emanating from within.
"Spatial channel?" The Chaotic Poison Venerable said in surprise.
"Let's go!" Qin Chen's body flickered, entering the channel instantly, and Ji Wuxue and the others followed suit.
As they continued deeper with Qin Chen, the space inside became increasingly hot.
"There should be some kind of flame here," Ji Wuxue said.
"Such intense flame aura must be extraordinary," the Chaotic Poison Venerable also remarked.
As Qin Chen delved deeper, the Lord of War Sect and others began to feel a sense of struggle, with wisps of ethereal purple flames floating in the void, bearing a strong life force.
