However, there was a difference between the two.
Long Wu looked at Su Chen curiously. She realized her master seemed to have noticed someone flying toward their chariot before her.
This golden chariot was only a supreme-grade Dao weapon. At full speed, it was comparable to a Quasi-Saint Realm expert flying at full strength. Not to mention, they weren’t even flying at full speed now. Almost any Quasi-Saint Realm expert could keep up with the golden chariot.
Logically, this golden chariot was no longer suitable for Su Chen’s current status. But the problem was that Su Chen couldn’t immediately find a better flying magic treasure to replace it. After all, sacred weapons were one level higher than the golden chariot! No one would be idle enough to specially refine a sacred weapon just for traveling.
As Su Chen’s reputation grew, his exclusive transportation, the golden carriage, was also becoming famous. Seeing it, almost everyone knew a Saint Realm and Saint King Realm powerhouses sat inside!
“Is Senior Su Chen ahead?!” A deep voice sounded from afar. At the horizon, several figures walked together, led by a middle-aged man. With extraordinary bearing in yellow robes, he stood before the golden chariot’s path with some followers. Slightly cupping his hands, he loudly proclaimed, “I’m here on my young master’s orders to pay respects to Senior Su Chen!”
Though never receiving a reply, the man was almost certain Su Chen sat inside.
“Young Master?” In the chariot, hearing this, Su Chen’s brows raised curiously as he sized up the man outside. “Who is your young master?”
“I won’t hide it from Senior Su Chen. My young master is the young patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Yuan!” The middle-aged man was extremely respectful.
Recently, Su Chen’s reputation had become too terrifying, reaching an awe-inspiring level. Everyone who heard Su Chen’s name now trembled, not for any reason other than his performance in the battle against the Dashang Empire, which had already far surpassed an ordinary Saint Realm powerhouse.
Facing dark creatures of the same level, ordinary saints often needed help from two or three peers just to contend against one. But Su Chen was different. The moment he appeared, it took two human saints and a dark creature to barely restrain him! And that was just barely holding him back.
Yet such powerful opponents were still killed by Su Chen in the end. In fact, throughout the entire process, Su Chen didn’t suffer any injury. Just this alone was enough to shock countless people. Compared to the two sides, Su Chen’s combat strength was almost heaven-defying.
One had to know that he had just passed the Saint Tribulation less than half a year ago! In many people’s eyes, Su Chen was already so terrifying at the initial stage of the Saint Realm. If he reached the peak stage, wouldn’t he be able to look down on everyone and kill peak-stage Great Saint Realm and even Saint King Realm powerhouses?
Thus, though at odds with Su Chen in standpoint, this middle-aged man still had to be respectful before him, not daring to show any negligence – afraid of displeasing Su Chen and being killed on the spot.
“Qin Yuan? So it’s him!” Hearing the name “Qin Yuan”, Su Chen immediately understood the other’s intention.
“Is Qin Yuan going to fight Qin Hao?” Su Chen slowly asked. He hadn’t paid attention to this matter, but it was related to the Qin family’s past scandal, so some others were still very concerned, closely following where Qin Hao was daily.
Of course, more people still wanted to see how terrifying Qin Yuan, with his two talents, was. After all, the previous person with two talents was none other than Su Chen!
Since Su Chen had shown great potential, people were naturally curious whether Qin Yuan could match him, attracting much interest.
“Nothing escapes Senior Su Chen. Currently, Little Brother Qin Hao has stopped at the Shadowless Hall. Our young master plans to fight him in ten days!” The middle-aged man paused, stealing a glance at Su Chen before continuing, “When the time comes, my young master hopes Senior can go watch the battle!”
“Ten days from now?” Su Chen chuckled. “I will naturally go.”
With his current position, flying to the Shadowless Hall within ten days was almost impossible. After all, the Shadowless Hall was located at the edge of the East Barrens. Even some saints would need a long time crossing there.
But Su Chen was different from ordinary saints. He had a saint king behind him. Saint kings could tear through the void, so this distance was trivial. It was estimated Qin Yuan had considered this in setting the date ten days later.
“Since Senior has agreed, I’ll take my leave first.” The middle-aged man bowed and retreated.
After seeing him off, Su Chen turned to Long Wu. “Looks like we have to go to the Shadowless Hall first. 1 can also ask others if they know about teleportation formations for crossing worlds.”
He didn’t want to fly across two domains like Long Wu. The distance between the Southern Region and East Barrens was too vast. Even a saint king would need a long time flying there. By the time he reached the Southern Region, it would be too late.
“Long Wu will follow Master’s orders.” Long Wu blinked. She reached out, grabbing the void. The sky outside suddenly split open with huge cracks stretching thousands of feet, extremely deep and leading who knew where.
Su Chen rode the golden chariot into it without hesitation.
At the same time, billions of miles away at the edge of the East Barrens stood an ancient city that had endured for countless years. No one knew when it had been built. Rumors said it existed since ancient times.
In a small courtyard of this ancient city, Qin Hao, now grown into a young man, stood with his hands behind his back. His black hair draped over his shoulders and his eyes shone like cold stars. Divine splendor flowed as he opened and closed them.
His skin seemed made of gemstones, hiding a terrifying power within. Once erupting, it held an almost despairing might. Though still young, he already possessed a somewhat invincible aura..
