“Why should I tell you my method? Ridiculous?” Qin Chen glanced at the other person indifferently. Were they very familiar with each other? It was absurd.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was astonished, their mouths agape.
Heavens, this guy actually dared to speak to Emperor Shihen like that?
Many people around wore fearful expressions and involuntarily took a step back.
This was Emperor Shihen, the supreme prodigy of the Black Jade Continent. Even some top heaven venerable experts wouldn’t dare to confront him. Qin Chen’s words were practically a death wish.
If Emperor Shihen were to get angry, the entire Black Jade Continent could shudder three times.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Shihen narrowed his eyes, and a cold aura began to emanate from him, causing his expression to turn icy when he looked at Qin Chen.
Boom! An invisible storm seemed to form in the void, making everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, trembling slightly.
Was Emperor Shihen about to get angry?
However, Emperor Shihen quickly calmed down.
He had been quite polite in his speech, curious about Qin Chen's identity since he was walking with Lady Sikong, but unexpectedly, Qin Chen showed him no courtesy at all.
Emperor Shihen couldn’t help but speak in a deep voice, “Esteemed guest, when out and about, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy. A simple truth that someone of your stature should not be unaware of, right?”
“Moreover, regardless of your identity or whom you are associated with, this is the Black Jade Continent, not the Dark World. I suggest you choose your words carefully. Loose lips can lead to unnecessary trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen slightly turned his head and said calmly, “Are you threatening me?”
“Think of it however you like,” Emperor Shihen said slowly. “If you have a way to enter the Decomposing Blood Grave, why not share it? We can all study it together; consider it making a friend. Otherwise…” He did not continue, but the cold gleam in his eyes made his threatening intention very clear.
Lady Sikong furrowed her brows and said, “Emperor Shihen, mind your attitude…” But before she could finish, Qin Chen raised his hand to stop her and smiled, “Otherwise, what?”
Emperor Shihen replied flatly, “Trust me, you do not want to know the outcome.”
“Hahaha.” Qin Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “You think you can threaten me? And talk about friendship? A person like you is hardly worthy to be my friend.”
“You’re asking for death. In front of Lord Emperor Shihen, you dare to be so reckless, a fool who doesn’t know the limits.”
At this moment, a figure exuding a cold, dark aura stepped forward. He was not particularly tall, dressed in black clothing, and appeared somewhat frail, tall and thin like a bamboo pole.
But that wasn’t what made him terrifying. The most frightening aspect was the patch of pus on his face, from which streams of dark power emanated, wriggling like dark worms.
Such a sight, even the Dark Clan members couldn’t help but shudder, feeling horrified and even nauseated. No one could bear to look at such a scene.
Upon seeing this young man appear, the crowd found him not only disgusting but also instinctively took a step back.
“Heart-Eater Demon!”
Many prodigies changed their expressions upon seeing him, and the Divine Phoenix Fairy and others turned pale.
In the entire Black Jade Continent, the Heart-Eater Demon was considered a terrifying figure.
He hailed from a fallen family of the Dark Clan, and after his family was exterminated, his mind became extremely cruel, resorting to any means to increase his strength.
It was said that he was quite handsome originally, but after coming to the Black Jade Continent, he began to slaughter countless beings from the ten thousand clans to breakthrough to the supreme realm and comprehend the primordial power of this universe, continually refining and devouring the essence and souls of these beings.
