Chapter 1257: Chapter 595: Soul Burial Forest, Geniuses of a Shining Era!
"You just taught Ye Chen the method of spatial traversal?"
Unable to hold it back any longer, He finally opened his mouth and asked Chen Xuan.
"Don’t guess at things you shouldn’t. Even if you figure it out, keep it rotting in your heart."
Chen Xuan cast Him a faint glance.
Ye Chen... that brat doesn’t even know where he’s hiding now, so He simply used his identity.
Maybe it’ll be useful later.
"Guess what? What did I even say?"
Ye Jinhong was completely dumbfounded.
"That’s good enough."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly. This was what He liked about Ye Jinhong — knowing his limits.
As for Murong Chuan and Bamboo Garden, the two acted as if they hadn’t heard anything at all, each looking off in a different direction.
Half an hour later.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, within the spatial barrier, Chen Xuan heard a booming sound, and in the next instant He sensed a familiar aura.
Qin Ying!
Following that aura, He immediately headed in that direction.
"Imperial Sister, Father has decreed: if your heart is not with Great Yu, then hand over Emperor Qin’s Imperial Might."
Qin Tiandao looked at her coldly.
With Emperor Qin’s Imperial Might as a blessing, He could draw out even stronger power from the Celestial Measuring Ruler.
"Don’t force me to make a move!"
Qin Tiandao’s expression narrowed slightly, his gaze hostile on her, as if the moment she refused He would strike without hesitation.
With Chen Xuan absent, Qin Ying’s strength was at most at the Peak of Eighth Layer.
He didn’t take her seriously at all.
"You’re fucking courting death!"
An enraged voice suddenly rang out, and right after, a ten-thousand-zhang fist shadow swept across the sky, instantly slamming toward Qin Tiandao.
Wherever the fist shadow passed, space recoiled.
"Chen Xuan!"
Qin Tiandao cried out in shock, a hint of panic flashing through his eyes. The Celestial Measuring Ruler was instantly summoned, and Emperor Qin’s phantom appeared along with it.
One ruler, one fist!
"Bang!"
The Celestial Measuring Ruler was smashed straight down, Qin Tiandao spewed a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Chen Xuan stepped out from within the spatial barrier, his expression dark.
"You alright?"
"I’m fine."
Qin Ying smiled gently, but inside she felt bitter.
In the Qin Emperor Sacred Land, all these years, only she had received Emperor Qin’s recognition and thus obtained the suppression of Imperial Might.
She never thought Father would actually order her to hand Emperor Qin’s Imperial Might over.
Just because she’s a woman?!
Loss and sorrow surged into her heart.
Feeling the fluctuation of her emotions, the anger in Chen Xuan’s heart could no longer be suppressed.
A powerful aura erupted, jade-colored light soaring into the sky, and even space began to tremble slowly.
"You deserve to die!"
Chen Xuan glared angrily at Qin Tiandao.
"Clang clang..."
Chains appeared out of thin air one after another, and in an instant they sealed off all directions around Qin Tiandao.
"Suppress!"
Chen Xuan went all out, using the Rule of Space to completely lock down Qin Tiandao.
He took a step forward!
"Boom!"
The powerful aura pierced straight through the earth, leaving behind a bottomless chasm.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Relying on a broken ruler, and you really think you’re that strong?"
"If not for the fact that you’re Ying’Er’s elder brother, just based on the killing intent you’ve shown toward me a few times already, I would’ve slaughtered you long ago!"
In his fury, Chen Xuan walked toward Him step by step.
With each step, the pressure rose by a huge margin.
"Damn it!"
Qin Tiandao roared in his heart. Space was completely locked down; He couldn’t even move.
"How can He be this strong!"
Being able to go toe-to-toe with Xiao Jue, his confidence had long since swelled. Within the Dao Domain, He even felt that as long as He didn’t provoke Lin Xi, He feared no one.
But now... He couldn’t even break free from this patch of space!
Since that’s the case!
Qin Tiandao steeled himself!
"Boom!"
His aura climbed once again, the Celestial Measuring Ruler erupting with dazzling golden radiance, Emperor Yu’s phantom appearing once more.
Clearer than any time before.
Boundless Imperial Might roared into existence.
"Bang bang bang..."
Even with the chains formed by the Rule of Space suppressing the space, under this Imperial Might they began to tremble.
"Get out of my way!"
Qin Tiandao bellowed, his aura soaring again, already reaching the extreme limit of the Peak of Eighth Layer.
"Bang!"
One of the chains shattered with a crash.
In an instant Qin Tiandao felt space loosen around Him, and He immediately charged out.
But!
"Boom!"
Chen Xuan appeared a single step away from Him in an instant, and slammed out a punch — not a fist shadow, but his physical body!
"You’re the one seeking death!"
Qin Tiandao had long been prepared. Emperor Yu’s phantom, gripping the Celestial Measuring Ruler, directly met that punch head-on.
Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His fist suddenly opened, and in that instant He clamped tightly onto the Celestial Measuring Ruler.
"You..."
"How dare you!"
Qin Tiandao instantly realized what He was trying to do, and fury flooded his heart. He was going to snatch his Celestial Measuring Ruler — this was his greatest trump card. If it was taken from him...
He didn’t even dare imagine the consequences!
Spiritual Power surged out at once, his bloodline boiling as He tried to reclaim the Celestial Measuring Ruler.
But... Chen Xuan held the Celestial Measuring Ruler in an iron grip, his expression icy as He looked at Qin Tiandao. "Just you?"
His tone was full of contempt.
"Let it go already!"
At this moment Qin Ying finally couldn’t hold back and spoke. She didn’t want to see things come to this.
She was Lady Chen.
She no longer stood on Great Yu’s side, but... at the end of the day, her surname was Qin.
That fact could never be erased.
She walked over step by step, looking apologetically at Chen Xuan. "Just this once — give the Celestial Measuring Ruler back to Him. If there’s a next time, I won’t intervene."
She felt deeply sorry toward Chen Xuan.
Everything He did was for her, yet now she was the one saying to drop it.
Chen Xuan knew she was torn inside.
But He still didn’t want to let Qin Tiandao off for nothing.
The key!
This was something He had already resolved to obtain, and right now...
"Hand over the key!"
"In your dreams!"
Qin Tiandao refused without even thinking. No one knew better than Him how important the key was.
And the relic in the ninth layer.
Only those who possessed the key could enter.
"Hmph!"
"Then forget about keeping the Celestial Measuring Ruler!"
