Boom!
The terrifying claws, carrying the astonishing power of annihilating the void, struck like an assassin god suddenly bursting forth from the endless darkness, and in an instant, they had already touched the skin on Qin Chen's chest.
“Huh?”
Qin Chen, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, seemed to finally react, suddenly opening his eyes. However, before he could respond, the claws of the Great Saint of the Peak had already fiercely grasped his chest.
“Haha, die!”
The Great Saint of the Peak roared in his heart, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth. His greatest strength lay in lurking and delivering a fatal blow, often striking when the target was unaware. By the time the target sensed his attack, his strike had already fully penetrated their body.
There would be no time to resist.
“This Qin Chen was completely immersed in his cultivation before this; at such a moment, he is at his most relaxed. Long hours of closed-door cultivation have left his mind unable to concentrate instantly. Once my claw succeeds, I can directly extract his heart of the great emperor, causing him to lose all ability to resist. Even if I fail to take out his heart, I can still severely injure him, leaving him powerless to mount an effective defense.”
The Great Saint of the Peak was already considering what other moves he should employ after wounding Qin Chen.
After all, if this Qin Chen truly had some skills, a single sneak attack should not be enough to kill him instantly; at most, it would merely cripple most of his combat power.
“Clang!”
However, when the Great Saint of the Peak's claw truly grasped Qin Chen's chest, his expression suddenly changed.
“What’s going on? Why is his great emperor body so hard?”
The Great Saint of the Peak felt as if his five fingers had grasped an incredibly hard Divine Stone. No matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate the skin of Qin Chen's body. Instead, the powerful recoil from Qin Chen's great emperor body caused immense pain in his fingers, as if they were about to break.
“How… is this possible? How could there be such a hard great emperor body in this world?”
The Great Saint of the Peak was horrified.
Having been a chaos-level assassin for many years, he had experienced countless storms, but this was the first time his heart surged with such immense waves.
“My Chaos-level Emperor Hand condenses five different laws of the path, capable of breaking gold and stones, shattering stars. Even a white dwarf emperor star would be shattered into dust under my claw. Even peak emperor level armor would not be able to withstand it completely, but now…”
The Great Saint of the Peak clearly saw that his claw not only failed to extract Qin Chen's heart but didn't even tear his skin. There was merely a slight reddening of his skin, as if it had been scratched lightly.
“With such a great emperor body, while the soul destruction power should obliterate him!” The Great Saint of the Peak’s killing intent surged, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
With his rich assassination experience, upon discovering the impenetrable nature of Qin Chen's body, he immediately activated his other major killing move.
Buzz!
In his mind, a black sphere surrounded by mystic patterns suddenly began to rotate. Accompanying the rotation of this black sphere, a terrifying soul shock surged along his palm, suddenly rushing towards Qin Chen's body.
Soul attack!
At the moment physical attacks failed, the Great Saint of the Peak instantly urged his soul killing move.
Boom!
A cold soul killing intent shadow directly charged towards the sea of souls within Qin Chen, intending to directly strike at his sea of souls.
“Soul attack?”
Qin Chen's gaze was indifferent, remaining motionless. His perfect dao divine body integrated the laws of yin and yang, fused with the origin of the primordial universe, questioned his heart in the Eternal Calamity Sea, discussed the path in the River of the Undead, and was purified in the Dead Sea of the Divine Emperor, further refined by the power of higher dimensions.
