Chapter 71 - Heavenly Emperor

Everyone was shocked.

The ancient Sage of the pegasus race was enraged as well. As a Jiutian realm ancient Sage, he had never suffered such humiliation before. To be beaten to the ground by a Bahuang realm Venerable was utter humiliation.

He roared as he soared into the sky, and his Sagely might became increasingly intense. He brandished his Sage Sword and slashed through the void, casting nine terrifying sword lights. It was the Sage-level supernormal knowledge that the palace master had cast just now, Reverse Nine Slashes.

Since the supernormal knowledge was executed by an ancient Sage, it was naturally far more powerful than the one cast by the pegasus race’s palace master. The power that could annihilate the world was unleashed with the Sage-level supernormal knowledge being in the ultimate stage.

Countless Laws of Heaven and Earth gathered and entered the sword glows.

Each sword light contained the power to kill a great Venerable. Nine of them come attacking at the same time was enough to make a Jiutian realm Sage feel threatened.

“A Sage-level supernormal knowledge at the ultimate stage?!” Even Qin Chen did not dare to be careless. The moment the nine sword lights appeared, he felt a strong sense of threat. He immediately wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd and performed the quasi-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, Eight Desolation Strikes”.

“Desolate Destruction!” Qin Chen shouted as he waved the Desolate Divine Halberd, slashing through the void and unleashing a terrifying halberd light. It was a hundred thousand feet long and contained a desolate and destructive aura as it collided with the Reverse Nine Slashes.

“Desolate Destruction? That’s the supreme supernormal knowledge of quasi-emperor Taihuang. That weapon should be Taihuang’s Desolate Divine Halberd. No wonder it felt so familiar!” The ancient Sage of the pegasus race immediately recognized the weapon, and his eyes started to burn with greed.

It was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon and Taihuang’s at that.

One should know that Taihuang was a peerless quasi-emperor in the primordial age. He had the potential to become an Emperor and was extremely powerful. Although he died in battle, the quasi-emperor-grade weapon Desolate Divine Halberd that he left behind was still a peerless divine weapon.

At the same time, Qin Chen wielded the Desolate Divine Halberd to cast the quasi-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge Desolate Destruction, which clashed with the ancient Sage’s ultimate stage supernormal knowledge Reverse Nine Slashes.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As if meteors had collided, destructive flames spread in all directions.

After a series of collisions, four rays of sword light shot up into the sky and ultimately still slashed Qin Chen’s body.

His figure was sent flying, but he soon stopped. The Sage robe on his body clanked as they blocked the four sword lights. With the strength of the Chaotic Holy Body, Qin Chen only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and was not seriously injured.

“You’re still fine?” The ancient Sage of the pegasus race looked at Qin Chen in shock. His only thought was that this great Venerable of the human race was ridiculously strong. One had to know that his attainments in the Reverse Nine Slashes had already reached the ultimate stage. He had truly unleashed the power of the Sage-level supernormal knowledge to its peak, yet he had still been unable to seriously injure this kid.

Qin Chen also looked at the ancient Sage of the pegasus race with a serious expression.

He indeed had the ability to break the shackles of being a mortal and fight against the ancient Sages of the Jiutian realm, but his power was not as good.

After reaching the Jiutian realm, the divine power in one’s body would evolve into Sage divine power which was even more terrifying.

In this aspect, Qin Chen was still inferior. However, with the Chaotic Holy Body that surpassed ordinary Sage bodies, the gap was closed.

“Kill!” With the Desolate Divine Halberd in his hand, Qin Chen descended from the sky and charged toward the ancient Sage of the pegasus race once more. Furthermore, he unleashed several emperor-grade secret knowledge in succession, his might extremely shocking.

Below, the Dragon Lord, the 27th Imperial Prince, and the pegasus race members all gasped as they witnessed the battle between Qin Chen and the ancient Sage. They were all shocked by how heaven-defying the former was. To think he could fight a Jiutian realm ancient Sage with his mortal body.

In the past, such a scene was something that they would never have dared to imagine.

But the battle was only beginning now.

After the intense battle with the ancient Sage just now, Qin Chen now knew that his strength was enough to allow him to fight across realms and break the huge gap between the Jiutian realm Sages and Bahuang realm mortals.

Now, it was time to kill the ancient Sage of the pegasus race.

Boom!

After another earth-shattering collision, Qin Chen’s figure soared into the sky.

The ancient Sage looked on in fear. The strength of this young man was far beyond his imagination.

Suddenly, Qin Chen flipped his hand downwards and struck out a palm print.

Faintly, the heavens began to tremble. It was as if this palm strike could destroy the heavens. It was extremely terrifying.

“Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint!” Qin Chen pronounced each word clearly. Immediately after, he struck out with his palm, and a power that was even more terrifying than the Great Desolate Heaven-imprisoning Finger he had just used was unleashed. Between Heaven and Earth, countless laws of the great path surged from all directions, gathering in his palm.

In the next moment, a terrifying palm print that covered the entire sky appeared. It was as if the hand of an ancient great emperor was pressing down, causing the ancient Sage to feel a sense of hopelessness. He exclaimed, “This is the Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint, a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge of Emperor Shi. How did you master it? How can you cast it? Wasn’t it lost?”

However, his voice was drowned out by the giant palm. It descended from the sky and landed on the ancient Sage of the pegasus race, as well as the nearby pegasus race members, including the palace master who was within the coverage of the giant palm.

Along with a deafening sound, the mist in the vast valley that was originally occupied by Death Valley had dissipated. Instead, a terrifying giant handprint that was 10000 feet long appeared, boring 10000 feet deep into the ground.

The once famous Death Valley had been razed to the ground, and the pegasus race of the ten thousand ancient races had also been annihilated.

Everyone who witnessed it was shocked.

Qin Chen had killed a Sage, the Jiutian realm ancient Sage of the pegasus race.

If word of this got out, it was bound to cause great waves.

Qin Chen retracted his hand seal and felt that the divine power in his body was running low. After using the heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge, the boundless divine sea and ocean of divine power that he had opened up with his Chaotic Holy Body had also been severely depleted.

As expected of a heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. He had only used it once, but it had already used up half of his divine power.

However, Qin Chen was very satisfied with the power of this heavenly emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. As expected, it could kill a Sage. And now, the ancient Sage of the pegasus race had thus been killed by him.

Below, in the huge handprint pit, there was a head-sized divine light source that was emitting circles of Sagely aura. It was a Sage source.

After reaching the Jiutian realm, one would transcend mortality and become a Sage. The divine sea in one’s body would also transform into the Sage source, which was also the power source of a Jiutian realm Sage.

The Sage source was extremely sturdy, even more so than Sage weapons.

The Sage source before him was from the ancient Sage of the pegasus race. It had not been destroyed by the giant palm print and had been preserved.

Qin Chen grabbed in the air and the Sage source that was the size of a human head appeared in his hand. He opened his mouth and swallowed it, then started to use the Myriad Transformations Imperial Technique in the Chaotic Imperial Sutra.
