Chapter 173 - Suppressing Qiongqi

The big scorpion was shocked. The beam of light from the demonic eye was too terrifying. It even pierced through the divine light of the green lotus. If Qin Chen was hit, he would definitely die.

Yet, the corner of Qin Chen’s mouth rose and he snorted. He held the green lotus in his hand and waved it in the air, clashing with the beam of light from the demonic eye.

Under the big scorpion’s incredulous gaze, the green lotus was like an emperor’s sword. It directly split the light beam shot out by the demonic eye into two and even shattered a lot of demonic energy.

“You’ve recovered!” The demonic eye was shocked and looked at Qin Chen in surprise.

At this moment, Qin Chen seemed to have changed into a different person. His entire body emitted divine light and the Chaotic Holy Body was revived, all the paths in the heavens resonating with it.

He looked coldly at the demonic eye in the demonic energy and said in a deep voice, “Back then, seeing that your bloodline was extraordinary, I spared your life. I didn’t expect you to have become so powerful and killed so many people. It’s time to settle the score with you today.”

“Hmph! How much of your strength will you be able to use in someone else’s body? After suppressing me for so many years, I should be the one to settle the score today!” The demonic eye shouted angrily, and a monstrous aura attacked. The big scorpion shivered, feeling that its soul and bloodline were being suppressed.

Qin Chen didn’t say anything. Instead, he waved the green lotus in the air again. Divine might was scattered, and the demonic energy in the hall dissipated. The darkness faded, and the demonic eye finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a huge tiger with wings, a bloody mouth, and sharp fangs. Its entire body was covered in spikes, and there was a pair of big bull horns on its head. It looked extremely ferocious.

“This is… This is a Qiongqi?” The big scorpion looked at the demonic eye’s true body in shock, its eyes full of fear.

Qiongqi was one of the primordial Chaotic Demon Gods, an existence on par with the real dragons and divine phoenixes. A ferocious beast like this should have been extinct long ago. The big scorpion did not expect there to be one here.

“Roar!” A beast’s roar rang out, and the entire hall trembled. The terrifying might caused the big scorpion to shiver.

Qiongqi was showing its might. It opened its bloody mouth and stared at Qin Chen with its blood-red eyes. Demonic energy surrounded its body and the divinity was being eroded.

Qiongqi circled Qin Chen, its eyes filled with fear. With a low growl, it spat out a stream of demonic energy, which covered half of the hall and hid its body.

Qin Chen waved his green lotus and repelled the demonic energy. Just as the demonic energy was dissipated, Qiongqi appeared in the air like a tiger pouncing at Qin Chen with its mouth wide open.

“Bind!” Qin Chen shouted and threw out the green lotus in his hand. The divine might that was released trapped Qiongqi in the air, rendering it unable to move.

“Roar!” Qiongqi let out an angry roar, and a monstrous demonic energy burst out of its body. The demonic energy eroded the divinity, and the divine might of the green lotus weakened, giving the Qiongqi the chance to break free.

“Bind!” Qin Chen shouted again. A dozen chains of the great path instantly shot out from the green lotus, which pierced through Qiongqi’s body and sealed its power.

“Roar!” Qiongqi let out a blood-curdling screech and glared at Qin Chen, “I’m a divine beast born from the heavens and earth. In your current state, you can’t kill me! When I recover, I’ll make sure you’ll suffer in hell.”

“You are cruel and bloodthirsty. Even if you were born from the heavens and earth, you can’t be considered a divine beast. In my current state, I can’t kill you, but I never intended to kill you either!” Qin Chen chuckled and waved his hand. The green lotus exuded a dazzling divine might. With the chains of the great path as the carrier, it continuously absorbed the energy within Qiongqi’s body.

“Damn it. To think you’re absorbing my power! You’re courting death!” Qiongqi was furious. The energy that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years was being absorbed. It roared, and the chains of the great path were rattled so hard that they made clanking sounds. However, it was still bound in the air and could not budge at all.

“For today’s cause, I will return the favor in the future. Since I have borrowed your strength today, I’ll return it to you in the future,” Qin Chen snorted and his eyes lost their light. Then, he fainted.
