Chapter 406: Defeated?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Deafening booms continuously rang out.

Qin Yuan resisted the Black Tortoise Divine Technique with all his might. Each strike was heavy and forceful. Yet with every collision, he would be pushed back a great distance. Using his physical strength to contend directly with a divine beast’s phantom was nearing his limit.

On the contrary, Qin Hao’s momentum was soaring, and the power of blood and Qi in his body was steadily rising, reaching a critical threshold.

Finally, a buzzing sounded as Qin Hao’s aura abruptly soared an entire level.

Similarly, an undying aura rippled from him, as if an immortal king returning from the long river of time, imperishable for eternity.

The late stage of the Nirvana Realm! Though this was merely a small realm breakthrough, to a prodigy like Qin Hao, every incremental realm exponentially expanded his combat strength.

“Break!” Qin Hao roared. With a punch, the Black Tortoise phantom behind him also began to move.

Billion-ton force crushed the firmament, producing a tremendous sonic boom.

Boom!

Qin Yuan neither dodged nor retreated. He could only meet the blow head-on with his fists. This time, unlike before, his arms were reduced to a bloody mist before everyone’s eyes.

Colliding with the Black Tortoise’s front leg, his entire body violently shook. Subsequently, he was sent flying, resembling a shooting star, carving a dazzling arc before the eyes of countless onlookers.

After smashing through several consecutive mountains, he finally crashed deep into the earth with no sound emerging for a long time.

“Wow…” Everyone present was struck speechless witnessing this scene.

They mutely gazed at the sight before them, not knowing what to say. Qin Yuan, whom they’d placed high hopes on before the battle, had actually…lost to Qin Hao?

Was this not far too inconceivable? Although this might not be considered a defeat, just being sent flying. In reality, the move just now, in the eyes of the onlookers, had almost determined the outcome.

Unless Qin Yuan could also erupt with a last-minute breakthrough like Qin Hao. But this was nigh impossible.

Throughout history, those who could break through in the midst of battle, which one of them wasn’t a figure carrying significant providence? If Qin Yuan could have broken through in combat, he would have done so long ago; there was simply no need to wait until now.

“How is this possible?” In the distance, the smile on Qin Ziteng’s face, usually so composed, froze. His hands faintly trembled as his eyes filled with disbelief.

“This little bastard… How did he manage to break through during battle?”

Qin Ziteng’s brows knitted tightly as he stared fixedly at Qin Hao. With his keen insight, it was easy for him to discern that Qin Hao had more than just a breakthrough. It seemed Qin Hao’s Longevity Immortal Body was also on the verge of recovery!

At the Great Emperor Realm, physique no longer bore great meaning. But in the Nirvana Realm, the presence of a unique physique was still immensely remarkable. At the same time, it could bring equally rare combat strength!

“Looks like I have no choice but to make a move!” Qin Ziteng’s eyes narrowed slightly, killing intent slowly kindling within him.

From the current situation, the possibility of Qin Yuan killing Qin Hao was not high. The likeliest outcome was mutual destruction.

He could not allow Qin Hao to leave. In these past few years, Qin Hao had already grown to such shocking heights. If given another ten years, what kind of spectacle would he become?

This was simply unimaginable. As for the matter of face? He had never once considered it. From the moment he decided to deal with Qin Hao, the face of the Qin family was destined to be completely lost.

But losing face was still better than the complete destruction of the Qin family! So long as Qin Hao died, the Qin family would have ample time to rebuild their standing over the next tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands. By then, who would still remember today’s events?

Instead, in many hearts they would only remember that you shouldn’t mess with the Qin family, no matter who you were!

Boom! The earth ruptured.

Qin Yuan soared against the odds, his hair disheveled, looking somewhat disarrayed. His icy-cold eyes held a gaze directed at Qin Hao, filled with chilling and ominous intent.

“My good little brother, you truly hid your skills deeply!” As his voice fell, his hands sliced through the air.

With a swoosh, the void was suddenly saturated with divine swords. This was an extremely fearsome sword Dao divine power, at minimum heaven-level, perhaps even saint-level!

A saint-level cultivation method… For Nirvana Realm cultivators, this was incredibly difficult to comprehend. But it did not seem out of place for a monstrous talent like Qin Yuan.

Clang, clang, clang! Like the blazing sun, countless divine swords rapidly slashed toward Qin Hao. The swords whistled, capable of shattering mountains and rivers! Each could slay a Nirvana Realm expert.

Tens of thousands combined were like a celestial river, endless and unimaginable. Even a Quasi-Saint Realm expert would not dare meet them head-on.

At this moment, the sun and moon lost their light as heaven and earth were drained of color. In the void, there was only a silver celestial river cascading down from the ninth heaven, solitary between heaven and earth. It wove to and fro as if all the stars in the sky were pressing down.

“Break!” Qin Hao bellowed. The boundless power of blood and Qi within his body surged. His aura too peaked in this instant.

Behind him, another divine beast, the Suan Ni, appeared and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Black Tortoise.

Boom!

The two divine beasts resembled guards, looming tall with immortal power that defied comprehension the moment they emerged.

These two were simply gargantuan. Each easily exceeded ten thousand feet, like two colossal mountains, exuding oppressive might.

The two divine beasts roared in unison, the Black Tortoise lifting its leg, the Suan Ni raising its claw. The vast divine power converged, erupting like a volcano, surging like a torrent. In an instant, it filled the void, countering the myriad sword lights from above.

Rumble! The most fearsome collision, the most fearsome clash. Shockwaves spread for thousands of miles with the two at the epicenter. The endless terrain was leveled flat.

A tsunami of white air swept forth like a white dragon devouring all before it. Wherever it passed, everything was obliterated with nothing left existing.

The surrounding spectators felt their clothes flutter as their faces turned deathly pale. They couldn’t help but retreat further into the distance.

At the center of it all, Qin Yuan’s expression abruptly shifted. He had already deployed his strongest techniques, yet seemingly remained unable to affect his opponent.

Although unleashing a saint-level divine power, it was still futile. This could not be blamed on him. The two divine techniques Qin Hao had used were clearly no ordinary skills.

As the Suan Ni Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan’s signature abilities, their divine techniques were undoubtedly above the saint level..
