The 9th Prince: Senior!
Qin Chen’s Liuhe Realm tribulation lasted for an entire night before the thunderbolts slowly dissipated.
Even though he had the help of countless treasures, divine pills, and boundless Divine Spirit Source, he was still covered in blood after the heavenly tribulation.
However, after the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Qin Chen’s aura increased by several times, approaching the King level of the Qiyao Realm.
He luxuriously consumed a quasi-divine grade herb, which turned into a vast amount of spiritual energy that quickly healed his injuries. In just a few breaths, he had completely recovered and returned to his peak.
He was handsome, with defined eyebrows and bright eyes. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, making him seem like a great emperor descending to the mortal world, extremely eye-catching.
“So this is the Liuhe Realm? I feel much stronger than before the tribulation,” Qin Chen could feel the strength in his body. He had broken through from the Wuxing Realm and entered the Liuhe Realm. His primordial spirit was clear and his eyes were bright like stars. His aura stood out.
Even the Holy Lords from the various Holy Lands, aristocratic families, and empires couldn’t be compared to him in terms of temperament.
After entering the Liuhe Realm, Qin Chen was confident that he could even fight against a Qiyao Realm King.
“Oh?” Suddenly, he sensed many auras appearing and arriving before him.
He had been undergoing his tribulation not long ago, so he was so focused on it that he didn’t sense it.
Of course, the most important thing was that the auras of the newcomers were not very strong. Otherwise, he would have sensed them a long time ago.
It was the people from the Great Qin Dynasty!
Qin Chen immediately changed his appearance.
This was because he did not want others to know the secret of his being able to cultivate and reach the Liuhe Realm.
To be honest, even if Qin Chen stood there in his original appearance, the 9th Prince probably wouldn’t be able to recognize him either. After all, when he was expelled from the royal family, he had only been 15 years old. He was young and immature and hadn’t fully grown up yet. Now that more than ten years had passed, he had completely grown and his body had even transformed into the Chaotic Holy Body, allowing him to integrate with Heaven and Earth, giving him a natural disposition. Even if he had the royal blood of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was no longer obvious.
The 9th Prince led the Great Qin Dynasty disciples over. When they saw Qin Chen, they found that he was a handsome young man in his early twenties. Under his tattered clothes, one could vaguely see his strong and muscular body. One could also vaguely sense the terrifying blood energy on him that was as vast as an abyss.
Even the Kings and Princes of the Great Qin Dynasty paled in comparison to this level of blood energy.
This made the 9th Prince and the others even more certain that this was a supreme Venerable. It was only because his cultivation realm was profound that he looked young.
After all, even if the many Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords had lived for one or two thousand years, they still looked like they were in their early twenties or thirties.
For some unknown reason though, the 9th prince felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at the Venerable.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he had no memory of ever meeting someone like this at all.
The 9th Prince led the group of Holy Land disciples and bowed to Qin Chen respectfully, “Greetings, senior!”
Senior?
Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince with a strange expression, muttering in his heart, “Please, 9th brother, I’m your 17th brother. I’m younger than you in both age and cultivation, okay?”
However, he who was better in cultivation would be the senior. Even though he started cultivating more than ten years later than the 9th Prince, he was still stronger than the latter.
At the very least, Qin Chen would have no problem suppressing the 9th Prince while also being in the first level of the Liuhe Realm.
However, he did not know how to respond to his 9th brother.
“Roar!” Suddenly, a roar reverberated through a radius of 1000 miles. A giant ape that was over 30 meters tall appeared. Its entire body was covered in purple fur, and streaks of lightning flickered around its body. It exuded a shocking aura, causing the Great Qin Dynasty disciples to be shocked.
“Oh my God, it’s a purple lightning ape!”
“The purple lightning ape is from the ancient ape race, and it seems to have a bloodline connection with the combat saint ape race of the ten thousand ancient races!”
“It’s said that a Supreme Elder of one of the Holy Lands entered the wilderness to find a divine medicine and found a quasi-divine grade herb. However, the quasi-divine grade herb was guarded by a peerless great demonic beast, a purple lightning giant ape. It almost killed the Supreme Elder. I’m afraid this is the purple lightning giant ape in the stories!”
“It’s rumored that the purple lightning giant ape is very strong. A Holy Lord once tried to subdue it, but it still escaped. It can’t be the same one, right?”
“If it’s really this purple lightning giant ape, its cultivation is at least at the Liuhe Realm. It could even be at the Qiyao Realm!”
Even the 9th Prince, who had reached the Liuhe Realm, was wary of the purple lightning giant ape.
This was because he had heard of the appearance of a purple lightning giant ape in this wilderness. This was a terrifying great demonic beast that even almost killed a Grandmaster. Its appearance now gave him a terrifying sense of oppression. The one in the rumors was definitely the one in front of them now.
However, why did this purple lightning giant ape come?
The purple lightning giant ape’s dark golden eyes, which were as large as water tanks, swept across everyone present. The disciples did not dare to look at its terrifying eyes directly. Finally, it landed on Qin Chen. It could feel a familiar aura from him. It then revealed a terrifying killing intent and roared, “Human cultivator, how dare you steal my quasi-divine grade herb!”
Hearing this, everyone from the Great Qin Dynasty was shocked and looked at Qin Chen.
It turned out that the purple lightning giant ape had come because this senior had stolen its quasi-divine grade herb.
Qin Chen furrowed his brows. He recalled that the quasi-divine grade herb he had consumed before the tribulation. So it was from the purple lightning giant ape. He couldn’t help but say, “So it’s yours. I saw that there were no creatures guarding the quasi-divine grade herb, so I took it!”
“Where’s the quasi-divine grade herb?” The purple lightning giant ape said angrily.
“I ate it,” Qin Chen replied calmly.
Hearing this, the purple lightning giant ape exploded with anger and roared, “Human, you deserve to die. This is the quasi-divine grade herb that I have guarded for a thousand years. How dare you consume it? I will refine your flesh, blood, and primordial spirit into materials!”
Its roar shook the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles. Many of the Great Qin Dynasty’s disciples turned pale and blood flowed out of their eyes, noses, and mouths as their souls were damaged.
Only the 9th Prince was barely able to withstand it, but he also looked at the giant purple lightning ape with a grave expression.
As the purple lightning giant ape roared, it jumped and rushed towards Qin Chen. Its huge palm slapped towards the latter, the force so huge it caused the void to collapse. It was extremely terrifying.
If the palm were to land on a mountain, the people of the Great Qin Dynasty believed that the mountain would be destroyed in an instant.
Even the 9th Prince’s expression changed. He couldn’t block this palm.
However, Qin Chen did not dodge. He simply raised his palm to meet the attack.
Boom!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the extremely terrifying ape palm attack was blocked, unable to land on Qin Chen’s body.
The purple lightning giant ape was taken aback. It was no ordinary Liuhe Realm Grandmaster. With the blessing of its ancient bloodline, its strength far exceeded that of human cultivators of the same realm. It could even challenge a Qiyao Realm King, so how could it be defeated?
“You’re too weak!” Qin Chen said. With a flash, he appeared in front of the purple lightning giant ape in an instant. He looked very small, but with a single slap, the world shook.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the purple lightning giant ape was sent flying by a single palm. It crashed through many mountains and fell to the ground in the distance, where the ground rumbled.
