Between heaven and earth, endless sword qi crisscrossed.
With a rumble, under Qin Chen's finger, the attacks unleashed by the Exquisite Goddess instantaneously crumbled, continuously disintegrating. The attack imbued with transcendent power had no resistance whatsoever against Qin Chen's single gesture.
Sword qi surged, and space was filled; the colorful Taiji Yin-Yang instantly shattered, unable to hinder even a fraction of Qin Chen's advance.
Strong, strong, strong! At this moment, Qin Chen stood tall, towering over the world like a deity, exuding unmatched divine might that forced others to look up in awe.
With a puff, the Exquisite Goddess was knocked back, her face turning pale in an instant.
"Transcendent power?"
Qin Chen stepped forward, "This is indeed the essence that Exquisite Immortal Sovereign implanted within you. Unfortunately, this is the Abyssal Secret Realm, where your Master’s divine consciousness cannot descend. With your strength, how can you possibly activate this divine consciousness to stop me?"
Qin Chen’s expression remained calm, disdain evident in his words.
He had already seen through the mysteries of the Abyssal Secret Realm; ordinary powers could not descend here, or else he wouldn't be so confident.
The Golden Sword King had a similar power within him, yet he couldn’t activate it even until death.
The Exquisite Goddess's expression changed, fluctuating between gloom and brightness, clearly realizing that Qin Chen had struck a chord.
If her Master could truly descend, would she have been cornered by the Golden Sword King to this extent?
Thoughts raced in her mind as she looked at Qin Chen, who stood upright like a flag. In an instant, her divine consciousness flickered countless times.
She finally sensed the difficulty, knowing that Qin Chen was not a person to be easily fooled. She said, "Sir, you are correct. My Master, the Exquisite Immortal Sovereign, indeed cannot descend into this Abyssal Secret Realm. However, my Exquisite Goddess Sect possesses a technique to reverse fate, allowing us to investigate causality and glimpse the heavenly mechanism. If you kill me, great karma will touch you, and my Master will certainly sense you and avenge me."
"Technique to reverse fate?"
Qin Chen chuckled lightly.
He too understood the path of fate, knowing that everything in this world leaves a mark of cause and effect. However, the heavenly mechanism was not something that could not be concealed.
"Indeed," the Exquisite Goddess replied. With a hum, she activated the essence within her, and suddenly, a seven-colored light emerged from her forehead. "This is the power of fate left in me by my Master. If you kill me, this power will undoubtedly taint you and cannot be erased."
"Eh."
Feeling the power of fate on the Exquisite Goddess, Qin Chen's brow furrowed involuntarily. He sensed a hint of familiarity with this power of fate.
"Heavenly mechanism power?"
Qin Chen frowned; this power was remarkably similar to the fate power controlled by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in his Primal Universe.
Strange! In this world, the path of fate is countless; although the essence of the fate path in each universe is quite similar, they all possess their unique aspects. Yet, the fate power on the Exquisite Goddess felt eerily familiar to that of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Could there be such a coincidence in this world?
Or did the Exquisite Goddess Sect have some connection to the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect who once entered the cosmic sea?
With this thought, Qin Chen immediately asked, "Have you heard of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
"Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
The Exquisite Goddess was taken aback. "I've never heard of it."
"Then where does this fate power come from?"
Sensing that Qin Chen's tone seemed to soften somewhat, she quickly replied, "This was left in me by my Master. You saved me earlier, and there’s truly no need for us to be adversaries. Moreover, I know of a treasure location in this Abyssal Secret Realm. If you spare me, I will lead you there."
