“This pattern... this aura... what exactly is this jade slip?”
When attacking the second light sphere earlier, since it was a solo effort, the power was not great, and the jade slip did not manifest clearly, causing Qin Chen to not pay much attention to it. Instead, he was curious about that third ancient cauldron.
But just now, the combined efforts of the seven great Martial Kings, including Wushuang Wang, allowed Qin Chen to clearly see the appearance of the jade slip within the light sphere, and he was immediately stunned.
Because the pattern on the jade slip was extremely similar to a certain pattern he had seen in the forbidden area of the Martial Domain.
The forbidden area, one of the most terrifying forbidden grounds in the continent's highest Martial Domain, is a dead zone that no one dares to enter. Even strong Nineth Level Martial Gods often find themselves in deadly peril upon entering.
In his past life, Qin Chen had secretly investigated the forbidden area, experiencing many dangers, and narrowly escaping death several times, only to eventually survive.
However, for this, he also obtained two treasures; one was the Nine Star Divine Emperor Secret.
The other was the mysterious ancient book in his mind.
When he was reborn, Qin Chen had always suspected that his rebirth was closely related to the mysterious ancient book in his mind. However, that ancient book was too mysterious and did not manifest under normal circumstances, making it impossible to trace its origins.
But now, upon seeing this jade slip, Qin Chen was instantly excited.
Because the pattern on the jade slip was extremely similar to a certain pattern he had seen in the forbidden area.
“Could it be that this jade slip is related to the forbidden area?”
Feeling excited, Qin Chen's gaze was fixed tightly on the light sphere containing the jade slip. He had already made up his mind that he must obtain that jade slip.
While Qin Chen was observing the jade slip, the battle between Han Bing Wang and Ju Li Wang had reached a boiling point.
Having shattered a blade light with a single strike, Han Bing Wang's eyes were icy, and ice crystals faintly condensed all over his body. Gripping his battle knife tightly, a profound ice principle revolved around him, and blue light rings appeared on his ice knife. Wherever the rings passed, the air emitted a continuous cracking sound from the freezing.
“Ju Li Wang, is this all the strength you have, and you dare to call yourself the strongest?”
“Buzz!”
Blue icy energy spread out as Han Bing Wang slashed out dozens of times. The dazzling blade light transformed into a world of ice and snow in the heavens and earth. In the perception of everyone, it was as if they had suddenly arrived at the Arctic ice fields; the cold aura changed the colors of heaven and earth.
“The comprehension of the ice principle is sufficient, but unfortunately, the knife technique is too poor, and the knife intent is too weak, making it impossible to push his own strength to the limit.”
Exuding a terrifying aura, Ju Li Wang held the golden giant hammer across his chest. In a deep, rumbling voice, an invisible true essence rapidly condensed around his hand, thick and mysterious.
“Hmph, to deal with you, this level of power is enough.”
Han Bing Wang sneered coldly and slashed forward, the myriad of blade lights forming a world of ice and snow, wrapping Ju Li Wang layer upon layer.
“Guardian Hammer!”
Ju Li Wang's right hand made a pulling motion, and the powerful true essence on his right hand quickly merged into the golden giant hammer, which he held before him. The giant hammer shimmered with colorful light and was indestructible.
Boom! Boom!
The vast icy world and the golden giant hammer trembled simultaneously.
“Ice Peak Suppression!”
Han Bing Wang did not think that his previous move could break Ju Li Wang. As soon as the first move landed, he soared into the air, executing a second move. In the sky, endless ice principles formed a massive ice peak over a hundred feet tall, heavy as Mount Tai, and it seemed to plummet like a meteor toward Ju Li Wang.
