Chapter 670: What Do You Think You Are?
BOOM!
A Saintly Arm forged by a Great Saint shattered into pieces with a single slap from Qin Heng, turning into countless golden specks of dust that dissipated in the air, never to exist again!!
"Ahhh!!"
Zhao Guanlan's screams tore through his heart and lungs; his entire being flickered like light and shadow amidst the golden dust, ultimately dwindling to mere sparks before fading out of existence!
Dead!
Completely dead!!
Having merged his essence, energy, and spirit with the Thousand Character Classic Treasure Weapon, Zhao Guanlan naturally dissipated alongside it, his form and soul utterly destroyed.
HISS!!
Shi Yiguang and Xue Qinan both drew in a sharp breath, disbelievingly staring at the terrifying, sky-obscuring hand above them and the golden dust progressively scattering in the air!!
Eyes widened in horror, their expressions filled with utmost shock!
Inconceivable! Truly too inconceivable!!
"That was the Thousand Character Classic, the Holy Weapon Thousand Character Classic! The Saintly Arm that the Zhao family had passed down for a thousand years!!" Xue Qinan's beautiful eyes widened to their limits, completely stunned as she stared at the scene before her!
"Qin Xuantian, he, he actually crushed such a Saintly Arm with a single palm!?" Shi Yiguang also doubted whether she was hallucinating. Was this terrifying palm really the result of Qin Heng's actions?
Saintly Arms were exceedingly firm, yet under Qin Heng's palm, they crumbled as easily as an egg, effortlessly shattered!
Impossible!
In her mind, Qin Heng was supposed to be someone who relied on secret treasures bestowed by his elders to possess great strength. Without those treasures, his power would surely be greatly reduced!
But now, Shi Yiguang realized that her judgment might have been wrong!
Qin Heng's might required no secret treasures from any elder!
It was merely his own strength!
That strength alone was enough to sweep through the mortal realm today; even Saintly Arms could be casually crushed by him!!
She watched the gigantic hand that obscured the sky, her mind replaying the moment Qin Heng crushed "the entire world." Her head was ringing, and she even began to doubt life itself!!
How could this be possible!
How could this be possible!!
How could Qin Heng be so powerful when he was only at the pinnacle of the Innate level!!
To possess such strength at the pinnacle of the Innate realm was unheard of by Shi Yiguang; even the stories of the Mythological Era told by her grandfather had never mentioned such a feat!!
"Qin Heng has a nickname that now seems to fit perfectly." Nie Rongrong's eyes were somewhat vacant as she dazedly watched Qin Heng's silhouette, saying, "The Peerless Throughout The Ages, the true Peerless Throughout The Ages!!"
"The Peerless Throughout The Ages..." Shi Yiguang savored the title, feeling its overwhelming dominance and bold spirit. She looked towards Qin Heng, seeing him stand with his hands behind his back, draped in golden light, like a True Immortal descending from the heavens to the mortal realm. Perhaps, only he truly deserves the title 'Peerless Throughout The Ages!'
With Zhao Guanlan dead and the Thousand Character Classic Treasure Weapon crushed, the battle above Ting Lake had not ceased. Zhao Yuyang, who had transformed into his true form as a True Demon of thunder, continued to struggle for survival under the burning Fire of Sun God.
BOOM! BOOM!!
The sound of thunder roared as streaks of pitch-black lightning erupted from Zhao Yuyang, who now had only a skeletal frame, attempting to break through the engulfing Fire of Sun God!
But under these golden flames, all his struggles were futile; he simply could not shake the flames summoned by Qin Heng.
"Qin Xuantian, Qin Xuantian! You cannot kill me! I am the prince of the Nine Nether's Thunder Wrath Kingdom. If you slay me, my father king will lead our entire race to cross realms and slaughter billions of your Human Clan!!"
Zhao Yuyang, realizing his struggles were futile, began to threaten, "Once those people die, it will all be because of you, all because you killed me! You cannot kill me! Let me go! Let me go!!!"
"Has your brain been burned to a crisp?" Qin Heng said indifferently. "If your father king dares to come, I'll just slap him to death. What's a mere True Demon? I've killed countless Demon Emperors; I've even crushed Demon Ancestors to death with my own hands."
"Absurd! Absurd! You lunatic, do you even know what you're saying!?" Zhao Yuyang's skull tingled with fear at Qin Heng's words, and the demon core inside him trembled.
Lunatic!
Truly a lunatic!!
Within the Nine Nether Demonic Realm, Lower Demons, True Demons, and Great Demons were merely common members of the demon race with varying strengths. Above them, there existed the level of Heavenly Demons!
Heavenly Demons were equivalent to Immortals, and among them, the strong could even be compared to Taiyi Golden Immortals!
The Demon Emperor is the mightiest among Heavenly Demons, equivalent to a Daluo Golden Immortal. Furthermore, within the Nine Nether Demonic Realm, augmented by the realm's Dao and Laws, a Demon Emperor can nearly be called a Pseudo-Primordial Chaos being!
The Demon Ancestor is a legendary figure born from Chaos. He once contended with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and opened up the Nine Nether Demonic Realm—a truly extraordinary existence!
This Qin Xuantian, merely at the peak of the Innate level, actually claimed to have killed countless progenitor demons, and even crushed a Demon Ancestor to death!!?
Too crazy!!
Too audacious!!
"You will never understand my power," Qin Heng said with a cold laugh. "You have, perhaps, thirty seconds left before you're burned to ashes. Any last words?"
"Go to hell!" Zhao Yuyang cursed viciously!
"Such a dull last word."
Disappointed, Qin Heng shook his head and, at the same time, snapped his fingers!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!
The Fire of Sun God immediately poured into Zhao Yuyang's seven orifices, burning him into ash on the spot, leaving only a fist-sized, purple-black crystal stone floating in mid-air.
Dense purple-black smoke billowed from the crystal, almost distorting the surrounding space. A single glance at it could make one feel irritable, their blood boil, and their head spin with dizziness.
"Demon Core Crystal!" Shi Yiguang exclaimed. "Quick, destroy this thing! Otherwise, it will contaminate the surrounding Law and Yuan Qi, turning this place into a land of filth!!"
"No need."
Qin Heng extended a finger and drew three runes in the void. Immediately, three chains shining with golden light appeared, binding the Demon Core Crystal, thoroughly sealing the Demonic Qi within it!
"Such a brilliant seal!" Xue Qinan exclaimed in admiration.
The title of Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady that she inherited essentially came from the Ancient Divine Sect's Mysterious Lady Palace, which excelled in sealing techniques. In her eyes, the three seals Qin Heng had just casually executed were sublime, seemingly beyond the capabilities of this world!
"It completely sealed off the spread of Nine Nether Evil Qi!?" Shi Yiguang also marveled. She widened her eyes; within her realm of knowledge, she had never heard of a method that could fully seal off Nine Nether Evil Qi.
Now, this man before her had easily executed it—and it didn't seem to be a Buddha Gate Cultivation Technique. Could it be that he wasn't a disciple of the Tathagata Sect? At this thought, Shi Yiguang couldn't help but become anxious; she remembered that she was supposed to serve as Qin Heng's maid.
"Qin Heng, didn't you want to ask that guy what he was planning to do in the mortal world?" Nie Rongrong said. "How will you ask him now?"
Shi Yiguang and Xue Qinan also turned their gaze towards Qin Heng.
They were all very concerned about the purpose Zhao Yuyang—or rather, the demon possessing him—had for coming to the mortal world. After all, this world belonged to all humankind, while the demon race hailed from an entirely different realm, perhaps even another universe!
"Ask? We still need to ask; it's just that the dead are easier to talk to than the living," Qin Heng said. He raised his hand and pointed. A ghostly blue light condensed in the void. This was Soul Flame!
Then, specks of light gathered, quickly reforming into the appearance of Zhao Yuyang. However, his figure was translucent, and his expression vacant, as if devoid of conscious will.
"What is your purpose for coming to the mortal world?" Qin Heng inquired.
