Chapter 158: What’s Wrong with Being Invincible Once?
🕑 Added 2024-10-01 05:42:45 +0000 UTCThe black clouds pressed down on the city, as though they might crush it!
At this moment, Qin Chuan was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
However, he didn’t show the slightest hint of panic. Instead, he leisurely looked at the crowd, his tone playful, "Are you all here to force my hand?"
"Qin Chuan, stop being stubborn!" Jiang Shennong's father scolded coldly. "Last time, you denied that Qin Zi killed my son, Jiang Shennong. Now, Qin Zi has become a rampant killer, known throughout the Eastern Domain. Do you still wish to deny it?"
"Indeed!" Ji Xuanyuan's father also said coldly, "Qin Chuan, I respect you as a formidable figure. If you hand over Qin Zi today, we can still spare your life. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? You think you can take me on?" Qin Chuan scoffed. Slowly floating into the air, he extended a hand toward them and said with no hesitation, "To be frank, people like you... I could crush ten of you with one hand."
"Boom!"
As his words fell, a mighty aura surged from him, shooting into the sky, expanding in all directions like an unstoppable tidal wave.
The collective pressure exerted by the crowd instantly collapsed!
The aftershock spread out, forcing the numerous powerful figures to retreat. Their faces paled in horror as they looked at Qin Chuan, some even exclaiming in disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
"His aura alone is suppressing all of us. Could it be... has he become a Sovereign?!"
For a moment, panic set in.
"Don't worry. He's not a Sovereign yet. He doesn’t have the Sovereign's aura. He's still a Ninth Heaven Saint!" Ji Xuanyuan’s father quickly calmed the crowd. Then, looking at Qin Chuan, he said in a deep voice, "You are indeed strong, but even ants, when gathered in great numbers, can kill an elephant. There are so many powerful figures here today. You cannot run rampant! Continue to be obstinate, and you'll find only death awaits you!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Chuan sneered, his eyes flashing coldly. "Then I’d like to see what this 'death' you're speaking of looks like!"
With a whoosh, the Black Whale Sovereign Sword appeared in his hand. He gripped the hilt with both hands and stabbed it downward, as if piercing into an invisible floor. Instantly, a wild, sharp aura exploded outward.
"This aura... is that a Sovereign weapon?!"
"He has a Sovereign weapon!"
Many people showed signs of fear. This man was already so strong, and now with a Sovereign weapon, how could they fight him?
"Hmph, so what if it's a Sovereign weapon? Without being a Sovereign, how can he possibly unleash its full power? Everyone, attack!" Jiang Shennong's father snorted coldly and was the first to strike, his right hand waving as green light surged.
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Shenxia Mountain trembled violently, splitting open. Massive, verdant vines erupted from the earth like dragons rising from the river. They rapidly expanded, winding their way toward Qin Chuan in the sky.
In an instant, the green light was overwhelming!
The gigantic vines intertwined in the air, forming a massive cage around Qin Chuan. Not only that, the surface of the vines was imbued with the laws of metal, transforming into countless sharp spikes, pressing toward Qin Chuan while igniting with scorching flames!
"We’ve trapped him!"
"What a powerful technique!"
The crowd was overjoyed. However, before their smiles could even fully form, a cold and disdainful voice rang out.
"Such petty tricks."
"Clang! Clang!"
They only heard two sword hums before witnessing a blinding white cross of light slash through the surface of the vine cage.
"Boom—"
In an instant, the vine cage exploded.
Blazing white light, accompanied by countless vine fragments, filled everyone’s vision in an overwhelming burst.
"Pu-pu-pu-pu!"
"Ah!!"
Many people were caught in the shockwave, coughing up blood and being flung backward in chaos.
At this moment, the Ninth Heaven Saints from the three great imperial clans had their eyes gleaming. They all attacked simultaneously.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the blink of an eye, they closed in on Qin Chuan, launching their fiercest attacks, taking advantage of the moment when Qin Chuan had just swung his sword and hadn’t yet withdrawn it.
"Blazing Fist!"
"Calamity Annihilation Finger!"
"Wind God's Kick!"
"Mahā Infinite Strike!"
Each attack was fused with various laws, their destructive power terrifying enough to pierce through the nine heavens!
They had seized the perfect opportunity. In this critical moment, even a slight misstep could determine the outcome.
"You’re finished!" One elder grinned viciously, slapping his palm toward Qin Chuan’s face. In his view, there was no way his opponent could react in time.
The opening had been created. Even if Qin Chuan could think fast enough, his body wouldn’t have time to catch up!
But suddenly!
He realized that Qin Chuan's face didn't show the panic and confusion he had expected. Instead, there was a strange smile.
"This!!"
The elder's pupils shrank sharply. Instantly, he felt a surge of danger, and his protective energy flared to life.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the pitch-black giant sword slammed into him like a door panel, crushing him with the force of ten thousand mountains, causing his internal organs to tremble violently as he was sent flying backward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In almost an instant, all the Ninth Heaven Saints who had attacked Qin Chuan were knocked back, sent flying in defeat.
Qin Chuan swung the giant sword in his hand, drawing an elegant Möbius strip-like trajectory in the air, effortlessly blocking all their attacks while simultaneously sending them reeling.
"Now it’s my turn!!"
Qin Chuan stepped forward with his right foot, launching himself into the air with the giant sword in hand. His body spun violently, unleashing several colossal sword lights that crisscrossed the sky like falling curtains.
"Golden Vajra Body!"
"Heavenly Steel Child Technique!"
"Innate Gang Qi!"
The Ninth Heaven experts who had been flung back all activated their defensive divine abilities, but under the brute force of Qin Chuan’s strikes, coupled with the sharpness of his Sovereign weapon, their defenses shattered like fragile paper.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu—"
"Ah, my waist!"
These ancient monsters who had once stood atop the Eastern Domain screamed miserably as they were sent flying in all directions.
Some were even cut in half, their lower bodies falling while their upper bodies hovered in mid-air. The excruciating pain caused them to release bursts of powerful laws, their glowing forms shining like the sun as their screams echoed chillingly.
But that wasn’t all.
The massive sword lights that had wounded the dozen or so experts exploded into a blinding wave of white energy that swept indiscriminately through the surrounding crowd.
The immense power surged like a raging ocean!
"Ah!!"
"Pu-pu-pu-pu!"
"Crack!"
The countless experts in the sky were like ants caught in a river, small and helpless, scattered in all directions by the overwhelming force.
"How can he be this strong? How?!"
"This is impossible!"
The experts who had narrowly escaped death looked pale and terrified as they gazed at the white-robed figure standing proudly with his sword.
One strike had swept the entire field!
How terrifying was this?
"With such pitiful strength, you dare come here in full force to pressure me? The Eastern Domain truly grows weaker with each generation."
Qin Chuan looked at the devastated battlefield around him and spoke indifferently.
"You!!" Ji Xuanyuan's father gritted his teeth, clutching his chest, and shouted angrily, "Qin Chuan, do you think you are invincible in this world?!"
"Heh, I wouldn’t say invincible, but in this tiny corner of the Eastern Domain... what's wrong with being invincible once?"
Qin Chuan laughed carefreely.
His expression was calm and casual, yet it exuded an overwhelming arrogance, as though he were a demonic sovereign looking down on the world, bound by no law.
"So, you're invincible once, huh."
Just then, a majestic voice sounded, filled with amusement. "But I wonder... do you have the qualifications?"
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone looked up, their eyes lighting up with hope as if they had seen salvation in their despair!
"A Sovereign-level expert!"
"It's the Ji family’s Sovereign!"
Qin Chuan also turned his head casually.
A tall middle-aged man, surrounded by the celestial phenomena of the sun, moon, and stars, walked toward them from the horizon. His presence was immense, like a towering mountain or a god descending to the mortal realm.
"If I dare say it, then naturally, I have the qualifications. I have already taken people like you into consideration," Qin Chuan said calmly, looking at him.
"Hmm?"
The Ji family Sovereign frowned slightly, surprised that even after his arrival, this man showed no fear.
Narrowing his eyes, he chuckled, "Are you implying that even if a Sovereign steps in, I won’t be able to suppress you?"
"Heh, even among Sovereigns, there are differences in strength. With your level... I’m afraid it’s not enough," Qin Chuan smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the Ji family Sovereign, exuding an invisible dominance.
"And what about if you add me?"
At that moment, a rough voice rang out.
A dazzling light erupted in the sky, and a towering figure slowly descended, shrouded by the illusion of a blazing sun behind him, as if the sun itself were hanging high in the sky!
It was the Jiang family Sovereign!
