Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Don’t tell me you just casually condensed a Divine Aspect? But to break through six layers in one go... this...”

In her astonishment, Nangong Yin didn’t even notice that they had been surrounded.

Her face was still a mask of surprise as she stared at Yang Xiao.

This was simply too shocking.

She remembered that it had only been a mere twenty days since she’d last seen him. Twenty days! In that amount of time, it would be difficult to even comprehend a Fire Secret Pattern.

Let alone condense a Divine Aspect.

And even if he had condensed a Divine Aspect...

...he would only be at the Great Divine Power Realm First Layer. With a massive amount of resources, he might at best stabilize his cultivation at that realm. At the absolute most, he would have reached the Peak of First Level of the Great Divine Power Realm.

But now...

What was she seeing?

In just twenty days, he’d gone from a rookie at the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm to the Great Divine Power Realm Sixth Stage Peak. Judging by his aura, it seemed like a breakthrough to the Great Divine Power Seventh Layer wasn’t far off either.

This...

How was this possible?

’Could he have been hiding his cultivation before?’

The thought crossed Nangong Yin’s mind, but she quickly shook her head. She was certain his aura back then had been at the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm.

Besides.

His purpose for coming here was to comprehend the Fire Secret Pattern in preparation for cultivating a Divine Aspect. Nangong Yin didn’t believe he would be so bored as to come all the way to this godforsaken Ten Thousand Mile Desert just to hide his cultivation.

Therefore...

This could only mean one thing.

Which was...

...he had truly reached the Great Divine Power Realm Sixth Stage Peak within twenty days.

He had leaped across six whole layers in a single bound.

This was...

...too terrifying.

’Such a genius. No wonder my cousin told me to befriend him and not to offend him. And it’s clear this guy has a powerful background. Thankfully, I didn’t get on his bad side this time.’

Nangong Yin thought to herself.

At this moment,

A strange, sardonic voice drifted over.

”Well, if it isn’t the genius cousin of our Dean Nangong? What’s this? Running to Red Flame Mountain’s territory and sending out a distress signal? Did you get into some kind of trouble? Need me, Qin Tianlong, to help you solve it?”

As soon as the voice spoke,

Nangong Yin’s expression changed.

Because without even looking,

She knew who the owner of that voice was.

Someone she found utterly detestable.

At the same time,

She finally realized that she and Yang Xiao had been surrounded by a group of people.

One of them was the speaker, Qin Tianlong, who was rumored to be the illegitimate son of some Divine King. He had once pursued her, only to be publicly rejected.

The guy who had then flown into a rage out of humiliation.

This made Nangong Yin’s expression turn particularly ugly.

”Didn’t expect me to show up here, did you? Heheh!”

Qin Tianlong smirked, his face full of smug satisfaction.

Just then, a middle-aged man beside him stepped forward and whispered, ”Young Master, there’s no trace of anyone else for a thousand miles around.”

As soon as these words were spoken,

Qin Tianlong’s eyes lit up.

His gaze towards Nangong Yin grew even more smug, and his eyes held a hint of malevolence.

It was full of aggression.

Nangong Yin’s expression instantly became even uglier.

She had a distinct feeling that things were not looking good.

This was the middle of nowhere.

And this guy’s own strength was already no weaker than hers, perhaps even a bit stronger. Among the elite students, he was considered top-tier.

Add to that the Demigod Peak guards at his side...

Nangong Yin felt...

...that if this guy really decided to act recklessly and make a move on her, things would be truly awful.

However, her expression remained unchanged as she looked at him coldly and asked, ”Qin Tianlong, what do you want?”

”What do I want? Haha! What do you think? Out here in the middle of nowhere, what do you think I’m going to do?”

Qin Tianlong laughed smugly.

He was a little disappointed not to see a fearful expression on Nangong Yin’s face.

But the moment he thought about it...

...about how he could soon do whatever he wanted to the woman who had rejected him...

...his heart pounded with excitement.

As the illegitimate son of the Qin Celestial Divine King, Qin Tianlong had actually always felt very insecure. In the Qin Celestial Divine King’s Mansion, he was the lowest of the low.

He couldn’t compare to his legitimate half-siblings, and even other illegitimate children could throw their weight around in his presence. While they were all children of the Qin Celestial Divine King, the legitimate ones received the best training, and even the other illegitimate ones could get guidance from the mansion’s elders.

They inherited the Ultimate Skills of the Qin Clan.

Only he...

...received the worst of everything, whether it was Cultivation Techniques or resources.

He was even worse off than the disciples from the Qin Family’s branch families. Sometimes, even the servants could bully him a bit.

Because an illegitimate son was, by definition, a child who couldn’t be seen in the light of day.

Especially since...

...Qin Tianlong’s mother was of extremely low status, just a lowly maid.

Thus, Qin Tianlong had always felt that he was base and worthless.

Until one day.

By a stroke of luck, his Divine King father, whom he had never met, finally remembered him.

It was then that...

...he sent Qin Tianlong to Star God Academy and, at the same time, gave him the name Qin Tianlong.

That’s right.

Before that...

...Qin Tianlong didn’t even have his own name.

But after that day...

Not only did he have a name, but he also had several Demigod guards. Although they were only Demigods—nothing compared to the Divine Marquis Level guards of the legitimate children or the True God guards of the other illegitimate children...

...at least...

...he finally had his own guards.

Moreover, once he arrived at Star God Academy, no one knew he was out of favor. They only knew he was the son of a Divine King.

So, Qin Tianlong’s ego began to swell.

And in truth...

...in a place like Star God Academy, he did indeed have the qualifications to be arrogant.

After all, this was just an ordinary Divine Courtyard under the Star Emperor Dojo, one that catered to common people.

Qin Tianlong’s status as the son of a Divine King was definitely top-tier. In fact, never mind a Divine King; even the descendant of a True God could obtain an extremely distinguished status here.

What’s more...

...he also had guards.

Demigod Level guards who were comparable to the Tutors.

In an instant, Qin Tianlong became the center of attention at Star God Academy.

He lived wantonly, enjoying his life as the son of a Divine King.

But all of this...

...changed more than half a year ago, after Nangong Tianling and Nangong Yin appeared.

’This damn bitch! She actually rejected me in front of everyone, even exposed the fact that I’m an illegitimate child, and she still rejected me! Hmph, if her cousin wasn’t Nangong Tianling, I would have killed her long ago. But now... it’s not too late. In a little while, I’ll make this bitch regret she was ever born!’

Thinking of this...

...the more Qin Tianlong thought about it, the more excited he became.

Even his expression turned slightly ferocious.

But...

...it was only then...

...that he finally noticed.

There was actually someone else with Nangong Yin. And this guy was even more handsome than him, and his aura had also reached the Great Divine Power Realm Sixth Stage Peak.

Qin Tianlong’s expression changed in an instant.

It became extremely ugly.

’Is this bitch on a date with her lover here? She deserves to die!’

Thinking this,

Qin Tianlong waved his hand.

Pointing at Yang Xiao, he said, ”Kill this kid for me first. As for this bitch, I’m going to take my time with her!”

At once, the guards strode forward, surrounding and advancing on Yang Xiao.

Nangong Yin’s expression...

...changed drastically in an instant.
