Supreme Devouring God

The following days.

Qin Chen secluded himself in Demon Peak for closed-door cultivation.

The outside world is boiling with excitement due to the upcoming ranking competition.

Such a grand event, garnering the entire dynasty’s attention, everyone is eagerly anticipating it.

Recently, in almost every tavern across the Great Origin Dynasty, discussions revolve around the Heaven’s Pride from various major sect forces.

Speculating on who can seize the top spot and make a name for themselves across the world.

The same goes for the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.

”This time, with Brother Yu in our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, we will surely let the outside world see the strength of our sect!”

In past ranking competitions, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect’s performance was quite unsatisfactory.

It has left plenty of gossip and mockery.

Especially in the last ranking competition, not a single person from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect made it to the top ten.

A legendary force that prides itself on martial prowess, failing to have anyone in the top ten, is indeed a huge joke.

Therefore, for this ranking competition, everyone in the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect is paying great attention.

This concerns the honor of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.

”Brother Yu is peerlessly talented, even if he can’t seize the top spot, he will certainly achieve a very good result!”

”And there’s also Senior Sister Ouyang, Brother Jiang Xie, and even the mysterious Brother Liuw Yifan.”

”This time, our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect will definitely not become a laughing stock as it did last time!”

No disciple of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect would ever want to see our sect mocked.

”Who do you think in this ranking competition will achieve the best result for our Heavenly Blade Saint Sect?”

”Who else but Brother Yu?”

”I actually think the newly appointed Saint Child, Qin Chen, might be a dark horse!”

”Haha, with Brother Yu around, what can any dark horse do? Although Qin Chen was indeed dazzling and shocked everyone during the position battle.”

”But, don’t forget, Qin Chen is only nineteen years old!”

Hearing this, everyone’s heart trembled a bit.

A nineteen-year-old Saint Child, this is absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!

”I also quite admire him; achieving such great accomplishments at nineteen!” Someone expressed admiration.

”So, it’s just his fate to be born late. Otherwise, he might have surprised everyone in this year’s ranking competition!”

They recognized Qin Chen’s talent.

But at the moment, the ranking competition focuses not on talent, but on strength. Mere talent without strength is useless.

On Sky Elder Peak of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, they had long set up a projection stone wall.

The number of people who can actually go to the ranking competition site is quite limited; most will stay before this projection stone wall, following this grand event.

...

Feather Peak.

When Yu TianQee returned from Sky Blade Peak, he heard about Qin Chen’s perfect record leading the Evil Spirit Army.

Immediately he confirmed that the mysterious person who cut off one of his arms and nearly killed him was Qin Chen.

Though it was hard for him to imagine how Qin Chen managed to lead such a powerful army, upon learning this, Yu TianQee almost had an impulse to storm Demon Peak and kill Qin Chen.

However, reason told him not to do so.

Just like how he once attempted to have Qin Chen assassinated; he had no evidence, no reason!

This is what vexed Yu TianQee the most.

There’s no denying Qin Chen is definitely the most troublesome opponent he’s ever faced.

Although Qin Chen had suffered losses by his hand, in turn, he too had suffered not few at Qin Chen’s, even more than Qin Chen!

”Qin Chen, you underestimate my connections, Yu TianQee!”

”In the ranking competition, I’ll ensure you won’t even know how you died!”

Yu TianQee’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, looking ferocious and malicious.

Inside Demon Peak.

Ever since Qin Chen finished selecting treasures from the Saint Treasure Pavilion, he has been meditating in Demon Peak.

And no one came to disturb him.

After cultivating for more than eighty days, Qin Chen successfully advanced his cultivation to the peak of the Heavenly Origin Ninth Layer.

Only half a step away from the Primordial Flower Realm.

Indeed, if given half a month more, Qin Chen could try to break through to the Primordial Flower Realm.

Crackling——

As Qin Chen rose from the God Devouring Crystal, a series of explosive noises echoed from his bones, evidently due to prolonged sitting, his entire body had become stiff.

”Little Strange.”

Qin Chen turned his head toward Little Strange beside him.

In those recent days, while Qin Chen was cultivating, Little Strange also quieted down and accompanied Qin Chen in cultivation inside the God Devouring Crystal, which is rare.

But Qin Chen knew, Little Strange was doing it for him.

In the ranking competition, Little Strange could fight alongside Qin Chen, and if Little Strange’s strength were strong enough, it could naturally greatly assist Qin Chen.

”Big Brother!”

Little Strange exited the cultivation state, looking towards Qin Chen.

”How is it?” Qin Chen inquired.

Little Strange sighed and shook his head, ”Not that great.”

”Now, the cultivation is only at the Primordial Flower Seventh Layer.”

”Cough cough cough!”

Qin Chen was choked by Little Strange’s words.

Having directly broken through two realms, what more is needed?

If this is ”not great,” wouldn’t others be angered to death?

”How about it, confident against those Heaven’s Pride?” Qin Chen asked with a smile.

”Of course, with Big Brother here, plus me, how could there be no confidence?” Little Strange replied.

Qin Chen laughed, walking out of the God Devouring Crystal space with Little Strange.

Less than a week remains until the ranking competition kicks off.

Today is the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect’s pep rally for the ranking competition, in order to boost the morale of those participating.

”Brother Qin Chen!”

Su Yun and Li Linfeng have also been arduously cultivating in Demon Peak during these times.

”You two seem to have gained a lot.”

Qin Chen noticed a qualitative enhancement in Su Yun and Li Linfeng’s aura, clearly indicating they had substantially improved their strength.

Both Su Yun and Li Linfeng nodded with smiles, ”Let’s go, to Sky Elder Peak.”

Chu Xun and others had already headed to Sky Elder Peak early for the pep rally.

Sky Elder Peak, before the projection stone wall.

A sea of people.

Today, all disciples of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect were present; although cultivation is important, today’s significance meant no one continued training.

Ouyang Panxue, Jiang Xie, Ning He, Yu TianQee, and others had long awaited this place.

Even a slender figure was quietly standing there without saying a word, yet many eyes were cast upon this figure.

”Saint Child Qin Chen and the others have arrived!”

At this time, someone shouted, attracting numerous gazes.

”Is that... Brother Liuw?”

Arriving at Sky Elder Peak, upon seeing the slender figure, Qin Chen couldn’t help but feel a sharp gaze.

”Yes.”

”For all these years in the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, it’s only my second time seeing Brother Liuw.” Li Linfeng nodded.

”It seems that these years, Brother Liuw has indeed been desperately enhancing his strength.”

As the Heir of the Medical Saint, Qin Chen could see what others could not.

All over Liuw Yifan, injuries were nearly everywhere.
