Supreme Devouring God

As Qin Chen’s resolute voice fell.

A tremendously fierce aura erupted from the Dark Tree, as if life had been rekindled within it.

”Big Brother is still going to continue?”

Qin Qi’s gaze tightened. He could see very clearly that the Dark Tree had already begun to collapse.

If this continued, it was very likely the Dark Tree would directly turn to nothingness.

Without Yuanhua, then it would all be ruined!

”Little Brother should be planning to make one last attempt, but can he really succeed this time?”

Wang Shishi saw through Qin Chen’s intention, and in her heart she felt it was unlikely.

The Ninth Layer Heaven truly was impossible to cross, far too difficult.

”He definitely can, I believe in Big Brother.”

”Along the way, how many miracles has Big Brother created? Too many to count. Why can’t Big Brother create another miracle this time?”

Qin Qi’s eyes were filled with thick hope.

”Qin Chen, you’re playing with fire!”

”Back when the Dark Tree still hadn’t started collapsing, you still couldn’t break through this barrier. Now that the Dark Tree has already begun to fall apart, what use can this last impact alone possibly have?”

”On the contrary, it will only cause even more severe damage to the Dark Tree.”

The Little Fairy said anxiously.

He understood Qin Chen, but she and Wang Shishi shared the same thought, that this final impact was utterly hopeless.

It felt like a trapped beast’s struggle.

”Of course it’s useful!”

Blood was already flooding Qin Chen’s eyes; he had clearly reached the limit of limits. His face flushed red, and the blood in his body seemed to be burning.

The Dark Tree began to tremble, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Qin Chen lifted his gaze.

Staring at the bottom of the Ninth Layer Heaven, so close he could almost touch it, starlike radiance burst from his eyes.

”Break… for me!!!”

He roared at the top of his lungs, his frenzied bellow shaking heaven and earth. Countless Demon Beasts were seized with boundless terror, and Wang Shishi and Qin Qi both felt their scalps go numb.

This roar sounded like he had already squeezed out the very last of the last of his strength.

Pouring out everything, for only one thing—to have no regrets.

The Dark Tree seemed to sense Qin Chen’s unyielding will. Its previously drooping momentum suddenly turned fiercely sharp.

”Boom!”

It used up every last bit of its power for one final impact against the barrier of the Ninth Layer Heaven.

This time, even the nine heavenly rivers shuddered.

Many people hunting Demon Beasts and seeking treasure in the Manggu Mountain Range felt the entire range tremble and were stunned—this was simply like a heavenly calamity, an earthquake.

”Did it succeed?”

Qin Qi stared with burning eyes, but in the end a dense surge of disappointment flooded his heart.

The Ninth Layer Heaven still had not been shattered.

He failed.

A trace of dimness also appeared on Wang Shishi’s cheeks. ”Although Little Brother didn’t succeed, he’s already done his utmost, even pushed past his limits.”

”Besides, the Eighth Layer Heaven—that’s already a level countless people would envy.”

”In the end, he still couldn’t succeed…”

The Little Fairy’s mood likewise sank.

Although she had felt earlier that Qin Chen couldn’t possibly succeed.

But deep down, how could she not harbor hope, hoping for a miracle.

After all, Qin Chen had truly exerted two hundred percent of his strength; naturally the Little Fairy wished to see that strength amount to something.

She glanced at the Dark Tree; cracks visible to the naked eye marred its trunk.

Clearly.

Because of overdriving the Dark Tree, although it had not directly shattered, it had been damaged.

Truly disappointing…

They say if you don’t sacrifice the child, you can’t trap the wolf.

Qin Chen sacrificed the child and still didn’t trap the wolf.

”Qin Chen, don’t be too disappointed. I’ve always felt this Ninth Layer Heaven simply doesn’t exist.”

The Little Fairy seemed to sense Qin Chen’s intense disappointment and spoke to comfort him.

”No, it does exist.”

Qin Chen suddenly spoke.

He looked toward the Ninth Layer Heaven, and on his expressionless face, a brilliant, sunny smile suddenly bloomed. ”If you don’t believe me, look.”

The Little Fairy froze for a moment, then followed his gaze. At once, her beautiful eyes stiffened.

”Shishi, look! Am I seeing things? Look at that Ninth Layer Heaven.”

On the ground, Qin Qi suddenly cried out in shock. He rubbed his eyes hard, as if wondering whether he was hallucinating.

Wang Shishi immediately lifted her head to look up.

At once, her gaze also froze—but gradually, tears welled up in her eyes.

”You’re not seeing things, it’s real.”

”Little Brother… succeeded!!!”

Wang Shishi was beside herself with excitement, tears streaming down her face.

At the bottom of the Ninth Layer Heaven, clear cracks appeared one after another, slowly spreading outward in all directions.

”Pop.”

As if the hardest thing in the world had broken, a soft sound rang out, and the smile on Qin Chen’s face grew even broader.

He had, in the end… succeeded!

He had not let his persistence and stubbornness go to waste.

”This is great! Qin Chen, you’re amazing! My god, the Ninth Layer Heaven… This Little Fairy has never seen what the Ninth Layer Heaven looks like; today I get to benefit from you.”

After a brief daze, the Little Fairy lost all composure, going wild with joy like a madwoman.

On the ground.

Qin Qi and Wang Shishi shouted at the top of their lungs, as excited as carefree three-year-old children, jumping and dancing.

They were truly happy for Qin Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

The Ninth Layer Heaven—this impossibility, this limit, this opportunity—he had reached it!

”Hurry, go up. Let me see what this legendary Ninth Layer Heaven is like, and what sort of Great Dao lies hidden within it, waiting to be chosen.”

The Little Fairy urged impatiently.

Qin Chen smiled faintly and sent his consciousness directly into the Ninth Layer Heaven.

All around, there was only chaos.

This place was like a world at initialization; you couldn’t tell earth from sky, as if they were fused together, vision blurred.

Qin Chen focused his gaze.

In front of his line of sight, there were two Stars.

These two Stars were definitely larger than any Star Qin Chen had seen before, at least ten times larger.

The two Stars were the same size, each with a diameter of a hundred zhang.

”The Ninth Layer Heaven only has two kinds of Great Dao?”

The Little Fairy was very surprised.

She had believed that since the Ninth Layer Heaven was so extraordinary, the number of Great Daos available would definitely be fewer than in the Eighth Layer Heaven.

But she had not expected.

So few.

Only two.

A choice between two.

Of course, few did not mean inferior.

On the contrary, in the Nine Layer Heaven, with each higher Layer, the number of Great Daos available sharply decreased.

The First Layer of Heaven had at least a thousand kinds of Great Dao, and by the time you reached the Eighth Layer Heaven, only twenty-three remained.

Few meant one-of-a-kind, meant uniqueness, meant singularity.

”A choice between two. Qin Chen, hurry and go closer to see what these two Great Daos actually are.” the Little Fairy said.
