Qin Chen indeed had the intention to kill Yin Hai Earth Venerable to establish his authority, but after observing the atmosphere at the scene, he realized this was likely impossible. These people would not agree to let him kill Yin Hai Earth Venerable. Once the battle began, facing so many Earth Venerables would surely cause trouble for him.
Only Qin Chen understood that the reason he was able to severely injure Yin Hai Earth Venerable in an instant was due to his sudden attack. Moreover, the scene of him withstanding the thunder had frightened everyone present. In reality, his strength was nowhere near as terrifying as they imagined. Once the battle broke out, facing so many Earth Venerables, Qin Chen was not fully confident.
"Well then, do I now have the qualification to compete for the Chaos Fruit?" Qin Chen said coldly, sweeping his gaze over everyone.
He had come here for the Chaos Fruit, not to kill. He had already achieved his purpose by gravely injuring Yin Hai Earth Venerable.
"Your Excellency, since you possess such strength, we naturally welcome you to join the competition for the Chaos Fruit," Bai Gu Earth Venerable responded with cupped fists.
Yin Hai Earth Venerable's face was extremely pale. Hearing that Qin Chen spared him filled him with overwhelming joy. Although he harbored deep resentment towards Qin Chen, he did not dare to show it. To maintain his dignity, he needed absolute strength. Without strength, he could not grasp the situation, which would be akin to seeking death.
Seeing that Qin Chen did not continue to kill Yin Hai Earth Venerable, Bai Gu Earth Venerable and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this True Dragon Clan expert did not intend to go on a killing spree.
"By the way, I wonder where the Ocean Clan's Deep Fish Earth Venerable, who left with these two young brothers earlier, has gone?" Bai Gu Earth Venerable asked again. He had already formed some guesses in his mind but still deliberately opened his mouth to ask.
Before Mo Li and Chi Yan Demon Lord could answer, Qin Chen sneered, "That Deep Fish Earth Venerable was killed by my two friends. Hmph, this person didn't weigh his own worth and dared to chase after my two friends. What kind of person would they not dare to kill?
Don't say the Ocean Clan, even the Human Clan and Demon Clan's Venerables would be killed without hesitation."
Mo Li and Chi Yan Demon Lord almost spat blood upon hearing this.
The two of them felt their eyelids twitching, wanting to jump out and say that it was clearly you who killed him, but in the end, they could only swallow their teeth and blood in silence.
How bitter!
Bai Gu Earth Venerable and the others felt a chill. With Qin Chen's example before them, they did not dare to underestimate Mo Li and Chi Yan Demon Lord. The fact that these two managed to escape from their grasp before was already impressive. Coupled with the use of the Ancient Divine Mountain and Stellar Core, which were clearly taken from the Da Yu Divine Mountain and Star God Palace, Wu Shuang Earth Venerable and the others no longer had any doubts.
As for Yin Hai Earth Venerable, hiding to the side, he was filled with shock and anger. Deep Fish Earth Venerable had always been his lackey, yet he never expected he would die directly in the Myriad Divine Treasury. However, he did not dare to speak up for Deep Fish Earth Venerable.
Now, he regretted it to the extreme. He clearly had not secured the Chaos Fruit, yet to seek treasure, he insisted on making a move. Now that Deep Fish Earth Venerable had fallen, and he himself had been gravely injured, Bai Gu Earth Venerable and the others had suffered no losses at all. It seemed that he was indeed a pig after all.
At this moment, he was already extremely fortunate to be able to keep his life. He did not dare to utter a single word.
In his heart, he was filled with resentment, and when the time came to compete for the Chaos Fruit, he would find a way to kill Qin Chen and the others.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene became strange as many experts quietly waited.
