At this moment, countless strong figures soared into the sky from the Headquarters of the Righteous Path Army, each towering against the horizon. Upon seeing the old woman, none could hide their devout, excited, and fervent expressions.
For billions of years, since the fall of Princess Lianxin Luo, the High Priest and the other two leaders had become the true spiritual core of the Righteous Path Army. Without Princess Lianxin Luo, the entire Righteous Path Army likely would have long been obliterated in the torrent of history.
The Great Protector and the Great Elder had been in closed-door cultivation for years and had not appeared at the headquarters. The High Priest was now the only leader-level figure in the Righteous Path Army.
Earlier, Qin Chen had displayed a strength that sent shivers down the spines of the Blade Demon Supreme and others, but the moment the High Priest appeared, everyone felt their hearts settle.
To be able to lead the Righteous Path Army to evade the pursuit of Yuanmo Ancestor for so long, the High Priest's strength had undoubtedly reached an extremely terrifying level. She was one of the top giants in this universe.
"Are you the High Priest?" Qin Chen looked at the High Priest in the sky, his expression tightening as he spoke.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the High Priest interrupted him.
"You have quite the audacity to cause a commotion at my Righteous Path Army headquarters. Hmph, today I shall see who dares to act so recklessly here!"
After saying this, the High Priest did not wait for Qin Chen to respond. A pitch-black handkerchief suddenly appeared in her hand, and at its emergence, the heavens trembled with dark lightning.
These bolts of lightning slithered through the air, bursting with a heart-pounding power, clearly indicating a top-tier treasure. Without a word, the High Priest unleashed the black handkerchief, which instantly transformed into a mass of dark clouds, completely enveloping Qin Chen.
A strong killing intent descended.
Qin Chen snorted coldly. This woman was unreasonable; he had no intention of provoking her, and yet she made the first move. Did she think he was afraid of her?
Qin Chen summoned his Mysterious Rusty Sword, but before he could unleash it, he felt a sensation of sluggishness throughout his body.
Was this... the suppression of the path rules?
With Qin Chen's current cultivation level, despite being only a preliminary pinnacle supreme, his comprehension of the path rules was no less than that of any pinnacle supreme. This was because he had mastered countless rules in the universe, including those of the Dark Clan, the divine emperor totem, and the dark luo heavenly rules. His understanding of rules had reached an astonishing level.
In that instant, Qin Chen realized that he was indeed being enveloped by the other party’s path rules, which were affecting his movements and his supreme origin within.
This revelation shocked Qin Chen; the High Priest was indeed formidable.
With his current cultivation, even the path rules of a pinnacle supreme might not be able to bind him, yet this woman was capable of using the path rules to suppress him, showing that her cultivation had reached an extraordinary level, entering the supreme tier at its utmost.
Moreover, she was likely advancing toward the half-step transcendence realm.
No wonder she could lead the Righteous Path Army to find such a refuge while being pursued by Yuanmo Ancestor. Just based on this powerful path rule, the High Priest's strength was above that of Ancient Supreme.
Indeed, the world was full of powerful figures.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds had already covered Qin Chen’s head. He snorted coldly, and his imposing aura surged as he expanded his own rule power, which was the origin divine ability. Although he could not break the other’s path rules in the No Life Demon Realm, it was too naive for her to think she could suppress him with those rules.
As Qin Chen's origin divine ability rule extended, it instantly broke free from the other party's constraints. At the same time, his Mysterious Rusty Sword slashed down, unleashing the sword technique of the six realms of reincarnation.
