“Next era?” Qin Chen shook his head. As far as he knew, this seemed to be the last era of this universe.
At that moment, Qin Chen looked at the Great Protector, “Shall we have a spar?”
The Great Protector nodded, “Sure!”
The two figures flickered and instantly arrived at what was once the Headquarters of the Righteous Path Army, in that dead silent star domain!
“Let’s begin!” Without further thought, Qin Chen's voice fell, and he suddenly vanished from his spot.
Buzz!
A sound of a sword ringing suddenly echoed across the starry sky!
Swish!
A streak of sword light cut through the void, aimed straight at the Great Protector in the distance!
The Great Protector squinted his eyes, filled with a serious expression. He didn’t dare to show any contempt. He stepped forward and threw a punch!
Boom!
As this punch was thrown, a terrifying force of destruction immediately surged forth like a tidal wave.
This was truly the aura of destruction; with one punch, the entire world seemed on the verge of collapsing, an invisible rule of annihilation obliterating everything.
This punch clashed directly with Qin Chen’s sword!
Boom!
With a resounding explosion, a burst of sword light erupted, followed by the Great Protector being forced to retreat repeatedly, retreating thousands of meters!
Qin Chen also backed off over a thousand meters!
This sword of Qin Chen was purely a sword strike, without invoking any additional power.
Otherwise, this sword would have been many times stronger.
After the Great Protector stopped in the distance, a complex look flashed in his eyes!
He realized this was just a very ordinary sword strike from Qin Chen, yet it directly suppressed his destructive power. Although he was left with less than 80% of his peak combat power, Qin Chen was not even a pinnacle supreme yet, which was already quite terrifying.
He was a genuine pinnacle supreme-level powerhouse.
Currently, Qin Chen, even among the pinnacle supremes, likely had few opponents.
Another powerhouse had emerged in this universe!
At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly said, “Great Protector, there’s something I’m quite puzzled about! I heard that both you and the High Priest are experts who followed Princess Lianxin Luo. Didn't you have any perception regarding the High Priest's actions back then? Moreover, why didn’t Princess Lianxin Luo pass on her inheritance to you?”
If Princess Lianxin Luo was testing the High Priest and had not given her inheritance to the High Priest, then what about the Great Protector and the Great Elder? They were also powerful followers of Lianxin Luo back then.
The Great Protector sighed and said, “In fact, the inheritance of Princess Lianxin Luo is not that simple; it is not something anyone can inherit. Princess Lianxin Luo is the heir of the demon god, and only those with demon god bloodline can accept her inheritance.”
“Moreover, the inheritance is extremely dangerous. Based on the rules that I and the Shadow Supreme comprehended at that time, if we were to accept the inheritance, there’s an 80-90% chance we wouldn't be able to bear it.”
The Great Protector shook his head.
“This is also the reason why Princess Lianxin Luo didn’t directly pass the inheritance to us. In fact, whether it’s us or the High Priest, even if Princess Lianxin Luo was willing to give us the inheritance, our chance of being able to accept it would be frighteningly less than one in ten.”
“As for the High Priest’s actions, she hid them extremely well back then. We didn’t notice anything at first, but by the time we realized it, it was already too late!”
The Great Protector sighed.
If he had discovered it sooner, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
Qin Chen glanced at Chen Sisi, frowning, “If accepting the inheritance is that difficult, then what about Sisi...”
The Great Protector pondered for a moment and said, “Since the princess chose Your Holiness the Saintess, there must be her reasons. Moreover…” The Great Protector hesitated for a moment and said, “Your Holiness the Saintess bears a striking resemblance to the princess when she was young.”
