Chapter 3971: Chapter 3971: Fight to the Death! (Second Update)
However, compared to the true essence of the late-stage Qiankun Realm, this Qi of Heaven and Earth is too weak...
But precisely because of this, it stands out as special!
The young man before them wasn’t a late-stage Qiankun Realm existence, yet he possesses the Qi of Heaven and Earth?
They’d only heard in legends, during the ancient times, those with martial arts talent, monstrous to the extreme, could touch upon a trace of Qi of Heaven and Earth even at the Heavenly Repairing Realm!
Lin Jianqing asked Ye Chen to remove the treasure concealing his level of cultivation. Was he trying to verify Ye Chen’s martial arts talent?
Lin Jianqing’s eyes flickered; he also knows the legend of acquiring the Qi of Heaven and Earth prematurely, but he’s very clear that in the Heavenly Repairing Realm, acquiring the Qi is an unbelievably daunting feat for most martial artists, yet for Chenyue Dark Child, it’s not enough!
Indeed, it’s just not enough!
It sounds extraordinary, much like saying on the plane that the Buffett family isn’t wealthy enough...
But that’s the truth!
A hallmark of Chenyue Dark Child is that they possess the Qi of Heaven and Earth through extremely unique means even before reaching the Qiankun Realm!
Reaching the Qiankun Realm, their Qi is even more intense than that of typical late-stage Qiankun Realm martial artists!
If Ye Chen is merely an early-stage Qiankun Realm existence, then he’s unqualified to be Chenyue Dark Child!
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded and slowly removed a dark crystal stone from his neck.
Lin Jianqing’s eyes were fixed on Ye Chen’s every move, not blinking even once!
Soon, Ye Chen removed the Annihilation Spirit Stone, and a breath immediately surged out from within him!
Everyone watched Ye Chen, utterly stilled as if petrified.
The entire sea area seemed to fall into silence.
They looked at Ye Chen, only feeling a "buzz---" in their ears, unable to hear anything...
Holy Ancestor Realm?
Ye Chen is actually a Holy Ancestor Realm existence!
Unacceptable!
Truly unacceptable!
The Holy Ancestor Realm yet possesses the Qi of Heaven and Earth, how did he do it?
Even Lin Jianqing was completely stunned, having thought Ye Chen’s cultivation hadn’t reached the Qiankun Realm but hadn’t imagined the gap that significant!!!
For a moment, he almost began to believe Ye Chen’s words, because all signs seemed only explainable by Chenyue Dark Child’s identity!
On the surface, Ye Chen remained unmoved, but inside he couldn’t help but chuckle, as only he, with the Soul-devouring Heavenly Dao and that special constitution, could achieve such an extraordinary feat; to others, it naturally appears unbelievable.
Lin Jianqing’s lips trembled slightly, seemingly about to apologize to Ye Chen, since with his status, asking Ye Chen to remove the treasure concealing his cultivation level after Ye Chen had spoken the secret was somewhat disrespectful...
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and if the matter could be resolved this way, that would be optimal.
But just then, a flash of spiritual light crossed Lin Jianqing’s mind!
His eyes widened, recalling another factor about the Chenyue Dark Child!
Lin Jianqing fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, speaking, "Young master, you say you are a Chenyue Dark Child; I remember, there is a rule among Chenyue Dark Child, that before gaining a certain level of power, they are not allowed to venture outside, right?"
Ye Chen inwardly sighed, evidently Lin Jianqing would not be easily appeased, and he nodded slowly, "Correct."
Lin Jianqing’s gaze sparkled as he stared at Ye Chen, "And this minimum requirement, the very least, is to endure a strike near the strength of a late-stage Qiankun Realm existence without dying, am I wrong?"
The crowd heard this, and their eyes trembled wildly, staring at Lin Jianqing in shock...
To endure a late-stage Qiankun Realm strike without dying?
Are you kidding?
Ye Chen is only Holy Ancestor Realm, isn’t he?
No matter how extraordinary, it’s absolutely impossible to withstand a strike from a late-stage Qiankun Realm existence, right?
Lin Jianqing took a deep breath, re-gripping the Mystical Iron Heavy Sword in his hand, face of utmost solemnity as he spoke to Ye Chen, "Young master, since you claim to be a Chenyue Dark Child, I’m afraid I must offend you. If you can truly withstand my strike and remain unscathed, no matter what punishment, I, Lin Jianqing, will bear it singlehandedly!"
The crowd heard this and were nearly breathless!
Lin Jianqing’s sword holds the power to repel three beings of equivalent rank!
Even those acclaimed Chenyue Dark Child, despite their reputed extraordinariness as told by Lin Jianqing, might find it difficult to evade his sword, wouldn’t they?
Qin Hongyue immediately grabbed Ye Chen, refusing to allow him to face Lin Jianqing’s sword!
Seeing this, Lin Jianqing’s pupils stung slightly...
Yet in the next moment, Ye Chen gently placed a hand on Qin Hongyue’s shoulder, with a faint smile, "Trust me."
Those simple three words shook Qin Hongyue’s heart, and she bit her lip, slowly releasing her grip on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at Lin Jianqing and said, "Alright, I’ll take your sword."
He knew that facing someone as upright as Lin Jianqing, any threats or schemes would only be counterproductive. To win him over, he must confront him head-on, with no tricks!
Xuan Han Yu foreseeing this scenario had told him that without acquiring the Qi of Heaven and Earth beforehand, there would be no impersonating the Chenyue Dark Child!
Xuan Han Yu said solemnly, "Even with your vitality, before, attempting to withstand Lin Jianqing’s strike was nearly impossible, due to the Qi of Heaven and Earth!
If you incorporate this Qi into martial arts, it will cause a qualitative change; purely in terms of physical body strength, Zhou Ji is not beyond you, but why can he coalesce that Dao Integration rune through force? It lies in the Qi of Heaven and Earth!
Now, you must precisely follow what I say; if you can utilize the trace of Qi within you to coalesce the Destruction Dao Seal and execute the Life Character Chapter of the Six Destruction True Technique to its peak, then there’s a great chance of surviving the strike!"
The proper name for that Dao Integration rune is Dao Seal!
Coalescing Dao Seal is the pinnacle ability of late-stage Qiankun Realm existence!
It was at this moment that the vanished Sword Tomb reappeared before everyone’s eyes; endless swords echoed, boundless sword qi surged, the Sword Dao Seal formed before the Mystical Iron Heavy Sword, and Huang Qi and others’ pupils contracted, clearly understanding Lin Jianqing wasn’t holding back at all!
This strike, he went all out!
Even late-stage Qiankun Realm existence might not be able to withstand this strike!
Let alone a mere Holy Ancestor Realm youth?
At that moment, Ye Chen closed his eyes, focusing entirely, attempting to mobilize the trace of Qi of Heaven and Earth within his mind as Xuan Han Yu dictated, yet this Qi was extremely difficult to maneuver!
After all, Ye Chen wasn’t a true late-stage Qiankun Realm existence, the breath acquired through indirect means, so utilizing it naturally poses challenges!
