“Brat, you’re seeking death!”
The Ancient Sun Earth Venerable was enraged. The previously relaxed power within him surged once more, becoming even more terrifying, like a volcano on the verge of eruption, ready to unleash energy that had been accumulated for thousands of years and destroy everything in its path.
“If you have the capability, then make your move. If you don’t kill me, I’ll kill you,” Qin Chen said with a cold smile.
He wasn’t planning to completely reveal his strength, but he couldn’t let the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable get away. This person knew too much; he had to find a way to capture him without alerting others.
I need to come up with a plan.
Qin Chen’s mind raced. If he revealed his strength directly to capture the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable, it would be too shocking and attract a commotion. At that point, it wouldn’t just be the Demon Ancestor who knew his identity; the entire universe would likely find out.
That would put him in a very passive position.
Although he had already been exposed to Yuanmo Ancestor’s eyes, aside from Yuanmo Ancestor and the Carefree Supreme, very few people knew his true identity. Even the Demon Spirit Venerable sent to kill him from the Spirit Demon Tribe was unaware of who he really was; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so surprised to find out he was a descendant of the human race.
“Good kid, go to hell.”
The Ancient Sun Earth Venerable’s body trembled, and his clothes were shattered, revealing the exquisite and majestic Venerable Battle Armor beneath. He clenched his fists tightly, and his body became taut, his back arching.
“Roar!”
A surge of crimson scorching energy shot into the heavens, with crackling red-black earth fire flickering unpredictably. The entire Mount Fire God was engulfed in a powerful storm, with some boulders lifted into the sky, reduced to ashes. The entire mining area rumbled and shook, while the space around the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable became dim and chaotic, the laws of heaven and earth trapped.
“Dominate the heavens!”
As his energy erupted to its peak, the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable transformed into a streak of red lightning, breaking free from the area engulfed in laws and charging forward with a fist.
Elder Yehe’s expression changed. This punch from the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable could even severely injure the Venerable True Word. Qin Chen, being a holy son, would likely be obliterated with a single strike.
“Ancient Sun, hold your hand!”
Elder Yehe shouted angrily, rushing to intercept. He did not want to see another Tian Gong disciple die here.
However, before he could react, Qin Chen took the initiative, suddenly appearing in front of him, raising his sword.
“Destruction!”
With the sword raised high, a stream of destruction energy gathered at its tip, condensing into a black sphere the size of a fist. As soon as the destruction sphere was formed, it erupted with a powerful aura of annihilation, solid as a rock.
Boom! With one swing, the destruction energy transformed into a black beam shooting towards the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable.
“Break!”
The Ancient Sun Earth Venerable sneered, charging forward and colliding violently with the destruction energy.
Boom, crack, boom... The destruction sphere exploded, and this area became a world of annihilation, terrifying destruction sword energy shooting out in all directions, covering everyone watching as if the apocalypse had arrived, leaving no escape.
“Retreat!” Elder Yehe raised a protective barrier and shouted to the crowd.
Puff! Despite being at a distance and fleeing when things went awry, some of the onlookers still spat blood, suffering serious internal injuries.
At the epicenter of the destruction energy explosion, the Ancient Sun Earth Venerable staggered back, the destruction energy entering his Venerable Battle Armor and continuously obliterating the earth fire energy he had released.
Puff! The Ancient Sun Earth Venerable let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth as a look of terror appeared on his face, staring incredulously at Qin Chen.
