At this moment, Qin Chen stood calmly on the arena.
He was very composed, with a smile on his face, resembling a harmless child.
He looked at the many strong figures present, including geniuses and heavenly venerables.
It seemed as if he was casually inquiring about something routine: “Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?”
Such a calm statement sent chills down the spines of everyone present, making their scalps tingle.
Terrifying! Too terrifying.
Around Qin Chen, bolts of lightning surged, and the arena, which had previously erupted into a horrifying battle, gradually returned to tranquility.
However, the Thunder God Hammer, which had fallen to the ground and was deeply embedded in the arena, along with the scattered remains of the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, made everyone deeply understand that a heavenly venerable had died.
A heavenly venerable, a top expert among the myriad races.
On the Myriad Races Battlefield, they could initiate a large-scale war, affecting the lives and deaths of billions within a clan.
But now, the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, the leader of the Thunder God Sect, had fallen on the ancient clan Ji Family's arena due to a martial arts competition for marriage.
Horror! Fear! Anger! Various emotions surged and trembled within the hearts of the many strong figures present.
Even Ji Tianyao, the ancestor of the Ji Family, was shocked, his eyes wide, filled with disbelief.
How could this guy be so strong?
At the earth venerable realm, he actually killed a heavenly venerable?
What kind of genius was this?
It was simply unprecedented.
The Ji Family, as an ancient clan in the Ancient Realm, possessed chaotic bloodlines, strong power, and exceptional talent. Such talented individuals with this bloodline often had advantages over other human race geniuses of the same level.
Yet even the geniuses of the Ji Family wouldn't dare claim they could slay a heavenly venerable at the earth venerable realm.
No, even at the same heavenly venerable realm, it wasn't an easy task for one heavenly venerable to slay another.
But now…
Frustration! Regret!
If he had known this would happen, Ji Tianyao would never have betrothed Ji Ruyue to the head of the Xiao Clan.
If he could have allied with Tian Gong and brought such a genius into the Ji Family, their standing in the Ancient Realm would have increased by fifty percent.
What was the point of engaging in a martial arts competition for marriage now?
But it was a bit too late, as the intelligence regarding Ji Ruyue's proposal to the head of the Xiao Clan had recently been conveyed by Ji Nan'an to the Xiao Clan.
Retrieving it was not an easy matter.
Damn it!
At this moment, Ji Tianyao's thoughts raced, pondering how to ease the relationship between the Ji Family and Tian Gong, and that of Qin Chen.
For instance, releasing Ruyue and Wuxue from Hell Mountain, or perhaps finding someone else to offer to the Xiao Clan?
However, both options were difficult to execute.
Not only was Ji Tianyao shaken, but far away in the void outside the Ji Family, members of the Xiao Clan, Ye Clan, Jiang Clan, and others were also stunned.
"Incredible!"
"Unbelievable!"
This group of people was shocked, horrified, and silent.
The ancient clan of the Ancient Realm prided themselves on being the true human race, boasting noble bloodlines. Thus, for billions of years, while the ancient clan called themselves human race, they deliberately distanced themselves from ordinary humans outside.
Because they looked down upon them.
Yet now, they were all shaken by Qin Chen's power.
They had envisioned countless possibilities.
For example, Qin Chen being killed by the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable.
Or, Qin Chen being severely injured by the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable and forced to concede.
Or, Qin Chen withstanding the attacks of the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, then being rescued by the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable.
The most exaggerated possibility was that Qin Chen was evenly matched with the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable.
