Qin Chen looked at the other party and spoke seemingly defenselessly. The Cloaked Man Venerable smiled, "This vice hall master has been in seclusion in the Ancient Universe Tower for almost a hundred years, focusing on the path of refining. However, I am not clear about the reason for the surge of deadly aura here."
"So you also don’t know."
Qin Chen shook his head in disappointment, then pointed to the vague constraining power around them, smiling as he said, "What about this surrounding constraining power? It should be released by the senior earlier, right? We were fine here before, and suddenly a surge of constraining power swept in. Could it be that we unintentionally intruded into the senior's cultivation area? If so, we apologize."
The Cloaked Man Venerable's thoughts shifted. He understood that what Qin Chen was talking about was the power of the Forbidden Heaven Mirror. At this moment, he had approached Qin Chen, only a few steps away, and turned to look, instantly smiling, "Oh, you mean this power?"
Boom! He raised his hand, and a more powerful constraining power surged in. Elder Black Feather and the others felt a heavy weight on them, making it difficult for them to circulate their half-step heaven venerable power.
The Cloaked Man Venerable continued with a smile, "This is a large constraining formation I set up here while in seclusion to avoid disturbances. You all barged in recklessly, which is why you’re wrapped in the formation. But no worries, this vice hall master can withdraw it at any time. I wonder how Vice Hall Master Qin is in regard to formations? Why not guide this vice hall master a bit?"
As he spoke, the Cloaked Man Venerable activated the power of the Forbidden Heaven Mirror. Instantly, the constraining power in the world grew increasingly terrifying, an invisible force sealing the void and enveloping Qin Chen.
This power grew stronger, and Elder Black Feather and the others even felt a sense of suffocation.
"This fool..." Feeling the constraining power around them getting stronger, but Qin Chen still thought the Cloaked Man Venerable was demonstrating the formation before them, Elder Black Feather was utterly speechless.
This was too foolish. Did he not realize the other party was constraining his power?
Even a pig should have some vigilance, right? Did he really think he was completely safe in this Heavenly Work Headquarters Secret Realm and wouldn’t encounter any danger at all?
At this moment, Elder Black Feather and the others finally understood. Although Qin Chen appeared powerful, he was actually a complete greenhouse baby, likely relying on sheer luck and never having faced any true peril. How could he have cultivated to such a level without any awareness?
How did he reach this realm?
The Cloaked Man Venerable was also somewhat dumbfounded. Qin Chen actually watched him increase the power of the Forbidden Heaven Mirror without any response. He could not help but feel ecstatic. As long as the space domain of the Forbidden Heaven Mirror was established, no matter how much commotion there was, he would be able to kill Qin Chen and erase all traces before the other vice hall masters arrived.
"So strong is the oppressive power; the senior's constraining attainments are indeed formidable."
Qin Chen felt the oppressive power around him, his eyes shining, and he revealed an excited look.
Boom! A terrifying venerable aura suddenly surged from Qin Chen's body as he slammed a punch towards the void ahead.
This action startled Elder Black Feather and the others, and they almost thought Qin Chen had discovered something, nearly taking action in nervousness.
But they saw Qin Chen punch into the void, and the void remained still. Qin Chen could not help but marvel, "The senior's formation's constraining power is too strong. What kind of formation is this? It can completely seal off my venerable power fluctuations. Impressive! Let me try something else."
Swish! An ancient sword appeared in Qin Chen's hand. As soon as this sword appeared, countless sword qi gathered, converging into the ancient sword in Qin Chen’s right hand.
