This... The group of earth venerables was so terrified that their souls nearly left their bodies. They turned to flee, but at that moment, Qin Chen forcefully snatched the Black Cloud Earth Venerable's Black Cloud Monument. He swung it around like a massive door, striking at the fleeing venerables.
With a loud "bang," the venerables were smacked down like flies by the Black Cloud Monument, blood staining the ground. Several venerables were directly obliterated, their bodies smashed into the ground beside the Soul Lake, blood flowing profusely.
"Come back!"
The Black Cloud Earth Venerable roared angrily, a torrent of demonic cloud energy surging within him, attempting to summon back his Black Cloud Monument. With a "hum," the Black Cloud Monument trembled slightly in Qin Chen's hand. However, the might of the true dragon erupted from within Qin Chen, and he quietly activated the power of the Myriad Realms Demon Tree from the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate. The combination of his strength and the Myriad Realms Demon Tree power effortlessly suppressed the Black Cloud Monument! "Impossible!"
The Black Cloud Earth Venerable was utterly frightened, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. The Black Cloud Monument was his heavenly cloud tablet, and no outsider could take it away unless they were several realms stronger than him.
Yet, Qin Chen in front of him clearly did not possess such strength in terms of realms.
How did he do it?
The Black Cloud Earth Venerable only felt an overwhelming aura suppressing his Black Cloud Monument, making it impossible for him to reclaim it.
"This stone tablet is quite good; I will reluctantly accept it."
Qin Chen chuckled. The Black Cloud Monument indeed had some merits. If it were solely reliant on Qin Chen's own strength, he might not have been able to take it down, unless he revealed the Abyss Demon Path and dark power. However, Qin Chen had the Myriad Realms Demon Tree.
This was the ancestral tree of the Demon Tribe, the origin of the Demon Tribe, capable of suppressing even the Primordial Ancestral Dragon under certain conditions. How could it not suppress this mere Black Cloud Monument?
Of course, what excited Qin Chen even more was his own physical body.
After obtaining the Dragon Soul aura of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, not only had his soul undergone a transformation, but his true dragon body had also been nourished by this soul aura. Although he had not made a breakthrough in terms of realms, his physical strength had undergone a tremendous increase.
The Monster Race and the Demon Tribe were renowned for their physical defense, and the True Dragon Tribe, being the top race among the Monster Race, was definitely one of the best in terms of physical defense back in the day.
Now, Qin Chen's body had truly transformed into that of a true dragon. Coupled with his body-refining techniques, his physical body had reached an abnormal level in an instant.
Qin Chen did not even need to activate the Haotian Divine Armor; relying solely on his black-scaled armor and physical defense, he was able to withstand the sneak attacks from those venerables.
"Take this!"
Qin Chen sneered, casually smashing the Black Cloud Monument down. As the Black Cloud Monument, infused with the power of the true dragon's body, came crashing down, the Dao rumbled, and countless lights erupted in the heavens and earth, shaking the very foundations of the world.
As the monument struck, the Black Cloud Earth Venerable felt the earth-shattering force; this blow from the Black Cloud Monument had the weight to collapse the earth itself. Even with the Black Cloud Monument in his hands, the power of his full-force strike could not compare to the terrifying blast from Qin Chen.
When the Black Cloud Monument descended, it was as if millions of true dragons roared, and the weight of this ancient divine mountain came crashing down. Compared to the Black Cloud Earth Venerable's activation of power, it was a different kind of tyranny, crashing through everything as if it could suppress death itself, scaring the Black Cloud Earth Venerable to the brink of losing his mind.
