Chapter 331: Kill Them All
🕑 Added 2024-11-05 14:01:38 +0000 UTC“Father, you broke through again!”
Qin Zi exclaimed in surprise and joy.
“Hmm.”
Qin Chuan nodded calmly and said, “Since I asked you to do this, I naturally won't let you fall into any danger.”
Hearing this, Qin Zi’s heart warmed.
As expected, his father was always reliable!
“I’ll continue then,” Qin Zi said, closing his eyes as he prepared to delve once more into the secrets of the Creation Monument. He had become addicted to fishing out legacies and found it hard to stop.
After all, this was a huge opportunity!
Boom!
However, just as his spiritual power touched the Creation Monument, it was repelled, and the entire monument began to tremble violently.
“What’s happening?”
Qin Zi cried out in surprise.
Qin Chuan looked up calmly and said, “It seems the monument is about to close. It only stays open for a limited time each cycle.”
“What a pity.”
Qin Zi sighed.
Qin Chuan patted his shoulder and smiled. “No matter. We’ve already gained so many legacies. It’s enough.”
“Remember, when you have the power to strive for more, you should be greedy. But when you lack the ability, you must know when to be content.”
Qin Zi nodded earnestly at these words.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, Qin Chuan dispelled the black sphere that had enveloped the two of them.
At that moment, the surrounding crowd had already finished their business and were waiting outside the black sphere.
“Ah, so Qin Chuan brought a young one here to comprehend the Creation Monument. Could this be your son?”
Someone asked in surprise.
“Indeed,” Qin Chuan responded with a smile.
“We’ve all finished comprehending the monument quite some time ago, yet we saw you set up a barrier and stay inside for so long. What were you and your son doing in there? Could you share a bit with us?”
A middle-aged man inquired.
“It’s a personal matter, so I’d rather not say,” Qin Chuan replied calmly.
“Heh, personal matter? Could it be that you were up to something shady behind our backs?”
A young man with green hair sneered.
As he said this, the crowd around them began closing in with an eerie sense of coordination.
“What are you all trying to do?”
Qin Chuan asked, feigning concern.
“Qin Chuan, let's not beat around the bush. We know you’re hiding something, and it’s related to the Creation Monument. Since we’ve met, why don’t you share your secret with us?”
An old man spoke with a sanctimonious tone.
The others nodded in agreement, all turning their gaze toward Qin Chuan, exerting pressure with their numbers.
“Heh, since we’ve met, why should I be the one to share my secrets? Why don’t you all share yours? I don’t believe for a second that none of you have secrets of your own,”
Qin Chuan scoffed.
“So, you refuse to cooperate?”
The old man’s expression darkened, and his tone grew severe.
“Why should I cooperate? You lot are nothing but a rabble. Are you planning to try and bully me, Qin Chuan?!”
Qin Chuan laughed arrogantly.
At this, the surrounding crowd could no longer maintain their composure.
Most of them were small figures in the grand scheme of things, but now that the powerful of the world had weakened, they were starting to enjoy the respect that came with being regarded as major players. Their egos were swelling, and being looked down upon like this was unbearable.
And so, they were furious.
“Calling us a rabble, are you?”
“To think that after countless millennia, the successors of Xuanyuan Heaven have grown weaker in strength but inflated in pride!”
“You think so highly of yourself, but today we’ll show you what true elders are capable of!!”
“KILL!!”
The group shouted in rage and launched their attacks, each revealing their prowess as they struck toward Qin Chuan.
In an instant, their hands stretched toward the sky like giant claws, blotting out the heavens!
In their minds, the world’s resources were scarce now, and even if Qin Chuan had reached the Heavenly Bridge Realm, there was no way he could compare to them—the products of the great powers of Xuanyuan Heaven!
After all, there were still levels to strength, even within the same realm!
But in the next moment, before any of their giant hands could reach Qin Chuan, they all exploded mid-air!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky, brilliant fireworks of destruction lit up half the heavens, shaking the earth and making the mountains tremble.
“This… this is…”
“Heavenly Gate Realm!!”
“Hiss!!”
Their faces paled in terror as they turned to stare at Qin Chuan. A layer of divine radiance emanated from him, vast and holy, like a rainbow bridge stretching across the sky.
“A bunch of ants, daring to think they can bully me? How utterly foolish!”
Qin Chuan stood tall, bathed in divine light, as though he were the center of the universe. His hands were behind his back as he gazed down upon them.
“This is bad!”
“We can’t fight him!”
“Run!!”
The crowd, their minds clear now, felt the overwhelming aura and immediately turned to flee.
At this level of power, just feeling someone’s aura was enough to know if you stood a chance. They all knew now—they didn’t.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Beams of light shot off in all directions as the group fled, some even tearing open the void to escape into the dimensional rift.
But Qin Chuan had no intention of letting them leave.
Whoosh!
He spread his fingers, and the space around his palm seemed to expand infinitely, like an invisible net that spread across the sky.
Suddenly, those fleeing were stopped by an invisible force, pulled back toward Qin Chuan. Even those who had hidden in the void were fished out, as though they were mere fish caught in a net.
“How is this possible?”
“Even a Heavenly Gate Realm expert shouldn’t be this powerful!”
“What kind of technique is this?!”
The group shouted in terror, their faces ashen.
Under Qin Chuan’s immense power, they had no room to resist and were quickly lined up in the air like criminals awaiting execution.
“Xiao Zi.”
Qin Chuan pulled out a cracked divine sword and tossed it to Qin Zi.
“Got it!”
Qin Zi understood instantly. Grasping the sword in both hands, he summoned a massive blade of light that soared into the sky.
“What are you doing?!”
“Don’t you dare!”
“We carry the marks of hatred! If you kill us, the forces behind us will never let you go!”
The crowd roared in fear, threatening as they saw their doom approaching.
But Qin Zi sneered and, without hesitation, swept the divine sword across, enveloping them all in its brilliant light.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The strike unleashed the full power of the divine sword’s essence, burning its core in a devastating attack. One by one, the bodies of those struck were obliterated, reduced to ashes.
Crack.
After that one strike, the divine sword shattered into countless pieces.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dark streams of energy rose from the ashes of the fallen, surging into Qin Zi’s body.
But Qin Zi didn’t mind at all.
After all, he already bore the hate mark from the Flying Immortal Sect. A few more didn’t make much difference.
Besides...
With his father around, who could touch him?
“Good, well done.”
Qin Chuan nodded approvingly, then asked, “Xiao Zi, do you know why I had you carry out the execution?”
“To train my courage!”
Qin Zi answered without hesitation.
“That’s part of it, but there’s an even more important reason.”
Qin Chuan nodded and added:
“When you kill enough powerful figures, a grand force will begin to coalesce around you. This force will greatly benefit your growth in the future.”
“Think about it. Don’t you already look down on Heavenly Bridge Realm experts? Don’t they seem weak to you?”
Qin Zi thought about it, and indeed, he did feel that way.
Although he was only at the Martial Emperor stage, that didn’t stop him from thinking that even Heavenly Bridge Realm experts were weak. As for those in the Extreme Realm… he completely disregarded them!
It seemed as though some invisible force was accumulating within him, and once fully gathered, he would be unstoppable.
“I understand now.”
At this moment, Qin Zi realized the truth.
As expected, everything his father did had deep meaning and was for his benefit.
He couldn’t even imagine the real reasons his father had him carry out the killings: first, so Qin Chuan wouldn’t have to take on the hatred himself; second, so Qin Zi would bear the hate marks; and third, to make Qin Zi arrogant enough to attract even more powerful foes.
Truly, it was all arranged perfectly!
With a father like this, what more could one ask for?
