The current Sage-level Demon King had just broken free not long ago. After being sealed for a long time, the loss of its vitality was serious, and it was far from its peak.
It needed to find a place to consume enough blood and flesh to recover. When it returned to its peak, it would take revenge on Qin Chen and wash the entire Taiyi Holy Land with blood to wash away its humiliation.
“Do you think you can escape?”
The Sage-level Demon King was fast. In an instant, it had already left the territory of the Taiyi Holy Land, traveling dozens of miles with one step.
However, a figure appeared beside the Demon King without a sound. It was Qin Chen.
He used the Desolate Divine Halberd like a big stick and smashed it onto the Sage-level Demon King.
Boom!
The Demon King was like a falling star as it hit the ground, creating a huge pit on the ground.
Even though the Sage body of the Sage-level Demon King was far stronger than an ordinary Sage, it couldn’t withstand Qin Chen’s attack. Its Sage body was torn into pieces, and where the halberd had hit was shattered.
The Sage-level Demon King groaned in pain. At this time, the terrifying vitality of the Sage body was displayed, and his wounds quickly healed.
“As expected of a Sage body. Its vitality is amazing. But what if I do this?” Qin Chen landed before the Demon King and smashed down with the Desolate Divine Halberd again. This time, he used his exclusive chaos Sage path laws, which could only be condensed after becoming a Jiutian realm Sage.
Once again, the Sage-level Demon King was hit and his flesh split open, badly mangled. This time, the astonishing vitality of the Sage body seemed to be useless, because Qin Chen’s Sage path laws had contaminated the wounds, preventing them from healing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Again and again, he used the Desolate Divine Halberd to smash down, turning the Sage-level Demon King into a bloody mess.
Puchi!
In the end, the Sage-level Demon King was smashed into a pile of flesh and blood with white bones everywhere. The Demon King could no longer bear it, and its head exploded. Its spirit was annihilated, and it turned into a broken corpse.
It was completely dead!
This was because the Desolate Divine Halberd was a quasi-emperor-grade weapon. It contained a trace of the will of a quasi-emperor, and while it was constantly attacking the Sage-level Demon King, it was also constantly eroding the target’s spirit and will.
In the shattered Sage skeleton, a Sage source was shining.
Qin Chen put it away, flicked his sleeves, and used his secret knowledge to bring the headless Sage skeleton back to the Taiyi Holy Land.
When they saw the Sage-level Demon King killed, the people of the Taiyi Holy Land cheered.
The hidden danger that they had been worried about for many years had finally been completely resolved, and they no longer had to worry about it.
“Many thanks for Elder King’s help!” Everyone in the Taiyi Holy Land was grateful. If the Elder King had not returned in time, they would have been dead.
“It’s alright, it’s what I should do,” Qin Chen shook his head and grabbed the Sage-level Demon King’s corpse. Although the Demon King was dead, its corpse was still a Sage corpse of the Jiutian realm. It contained powerful essence. If he refined it, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.
With Qin Chen’s personality, he naturally would not let go of what he could obtain. He immediately grabbed the skeleton of the Sage-level Demon King and returned to his residence to refine the skeleton into pills.
Half a day later, he successfully produced a few divine pills that were emitting clear light. There were nine in total, and each of them contained the essence of the Sage-level Demon King. They were simply Sage pills, 9th-grade Sage pills.
If news regarding the existence of such Sage pills were to spread, countless would definitely fight for them.
However, it was only a given that Qin Chen would not hand such a precious item to anyone else. He kept the pills in the system space, hoping that they would come in handy one day.
Although the Taiyi Holy Land had killed a Sage-level Demon King, they had also suffered a great loss. Back in the worst-case scenario, an old ancestor of the Jiutian realm whose lifespan was coming to an end was forced to come out and die in advance. That ancestor had been one of the powerful foundations of the Taiyi Holy Land. Such an existence couldn’t be replaced after perished.
The death of such a Jiutian realm ancestor was a huge loss to the Taiyi Holy Land.
Fortunately, the Elder King had killed the Sage-level Demon King and entered the legendary Jiutian realm.
Moreover, the Elder King’s blood energy was at its peak, so he could live for a long time. This was undoubtedly great news for the Taiyi Holy Land. Not only could it completely offset the loss of a Jiutian realm ancestor, but it could also make the Taiyi Holy Land reach a higher level.
Unfortunately, although the Elder King was in the Jiutian realm and had killed a Sage-level Demon King, he had always been elusive. Unless he appeared on his own initiative, it would be difficult to find him.
Lord Dragon was also emotional. When they first met, although Venerable Chen was very strong, he was still a distance away from being a great venerable. But now, only twenty to thirty years had passed, and Venerable Chen had become a peerless Sage.
Now, he could not be called Venerable Qin, but Sage Qin.
Qin Chen didn’t care about the outside world, and the news of the Taiyi Holy Land killing a Sage-level Demon King didn’t spread.
He had received some news that Heaven and Earth would soon be restored, and the ten thousand ancient races would be reborn. As such, it was very likely that the clan members of that Sage-level Demon King would come looking for him if they knew that the Sage-level Demon King had died in the Taiyi Holy Land. If that happened, even the Elder King might not be able to protect the Taiyi Holy Land.
At the current stage, it was better to keep a low profile, just like how he had secretively killed the ancient Sage of the pegasus race not long ago.
Even though he had already become a Sage of the Jiutian realm, he still had to be careful.
…
Although the news of Qin Chen passing the tribulation and becoming a Sage had been hidden by the Taiyi Holy Land so that no one knew about it, in the outside world, related news was still spreading all over the Canglan Continent.
In this world, someone had passed the heavenly tribulation and become a Sage.
Now, although Heaven and Earth were slowly recovering, they were still in the Dharma-ending age. Heaven and Earth restricted the path, and as a result, few could become Venerables in the Bahuang realm while Sages were almost extinct.
But now, someone had silently broken this shackle and become a Sage in the Jiutian realm. Some even suspected that the other party was not just a Sage, because the Sagely heavenly tribulation had been too powerful. It had been hundreds of thousands of miles wide, so it was also likely that the other party was a legendary Sage King.
Many in the world were guessing who the new Sage who had transcended the heavenly tribulation was.
Only a handful of Venerables in the world had entered the Bahuang realm. Those who could transcend mortality and become Sages must have cultivated for many years that could number in the thousands.
There were the royal elders of the four immortal divine dynasties, the living fossils of the immortal holy lands and ancient families that had once produced ancient great emperors, and also the old antiques who had hidden from the world…
Some even believed that an expert of the ten thousand ancient races had appeared to undergo tribulation. This saying was quite reasonable.
Heaven and Earth were slowly recovering, and the Dharma-ending era was slowly coming to its end. The ten thousand paths were revived and the ten thousand ancient races should also be recovering.
Moreover, the ten thousand ancient races were extremely prosperous in the primordial era. It was said that many peerless experts had been sealed before the era ended, so naturally, there should be no lack of great Venerables who had reached the Jiutian realm.
In short, there was no accurate conclusion as to who the mysterious Sage who had transcended the heavenly tribulation was.
