Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan was resolute, and also a master in his own right. When he had encountered the Netherworld Saintess before, she too had mentioned a so-called master. This person in the black robe, sharing the same origin as the Netherworld Saintess, was undoubtedly referring to the same individual as their master.

"I wonder who this master they mention could possibly be?"

Previously, when the Netherworld Saintess had produced a scroll painted with Luo Ling'er, claiming it was given to her by her master, Qinchuan began to be wary of this master working behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, the powerful Spiritual Soul Supreme Treasure that the man in the black robe possessed was also a gift from this master he mentioned.

However, Qinchuan came to terms with it; since this master knew of Luo Ling'er's existence, regardless of how they were aware of the connection between Qinchuan and Luo Ling'er, the individual had to be an existence beyond Qinchuan's current realm of comprehension, capable of withstanding his spiritual soul attacks with ease.

Yet, Qinchuan still harbored a persistent question in his heart.

If this master behind the two of them was so powerful, why had they not taken action personally to vie for the Spiritual Pearl, instead of sending others on their behalf?

Could it be that the importance of the Spiritual Pearl had not reached a level significant enough to garner such attention from their master?

And considering they knew of Qinchuan's relationship with Luo Ling'er, they must also be privy to some secrets of the nine cycles of reincarnation, which was one of Qinchuan's greatest secrets. How had they come to know of this?

Riddle after riddle troubled Qinchuan.

"No matter, let things take their own course when the ship reaches the bridge. Let's deal with this person first." As mysterious and powerful as the other party's master was, since they had chosen not to act themselves, he decided to temporarily disregard them.

With this thought in mind, Qinchuan discarded the distracting thoughts from his mind.

"If Divine Arts can't penetrate this turtle shell, then I shall take action myself. I refuse to believe that you truly have no weaknesses."

Qinchuan took action once again.

This time, he transformed into the Heaven-Earth Dharma Aspect with his Emperor Soul, his body gleaming with sparkling light like golden brilliance that lit up the heavens, illuminating the entire world. It shone with an endless and splendid radiance as if the sun had descended into the sea from the skies.

"I originally did not want to resort to this Divine Power, but I must admit that the turtle shell your master has provided you is quite useful, having blocked my Emperor Soul Technique. Now, try to withstand this move of mine and see how you manage."

"Such a powerful fluctuation! What kind of Divine Skill is this?"

The mysterious man in the black robe revealed a hint of gravity in his eyes, pondering over the origin of Qinchuan's Divine Skill.

Qinchuan's Dharma Aspect towered between heaven and earth, surrounded by the dazzling brightness of Dao Magic, his figure becoming gradually more ethereal.

At that moment, countless crystal-clear Palm Imprints began to condense in the void, emitting a faint light.

"Jade Void Sacred Palm!"

The man in the black robe suddenly exclaimed.

Underneath the chaotic mask, his face wore an expression of disbelief, his eyes widened in shock.

He had now recognized the origin of Qinchuan's Divine Skill.

"How is this possible?!"

"The Jade Void Sacred Palm was the signature Palm Technique of the Jade Void True Person from two hundred thousand years ago. Since the Jade Void True Person's soul entered the cycle of reincarnation, this Divine Skill has long been lost. How can you possibly know how to use it?"

Despite the black-robed individual's booming voice, which had not revealed any hint of emotion even when mocking Qinchuan, he was now laced with a thick tone of surprise and incredulity.

The Jade Void True Person was the name Qinchuan had used in his eighth life.

In this life, while Qinchuan concentrated on refining his Emperor Soul and cultivating his Innate Body, he primarily studied Palm Techniques, and his signature move was none other than this Jade Void Sacred Palm.

In that life, it had taken him thirty thousand years to ascend to the peak of the Divine Realm. Over those thirty thousand years, wherever his Jade Void Sacred Palm struck, no one was able to withstand even a single blow.

Therefore, the Jade Void True Person was known in the Divine Realm by another name, the One Palm True Person.

In the legends, even the six-eyed elder of the Divine Court was defeated by a single Jade Void Sacred Palm and had to heal in the Blood Pool for a whole century before he emerged.

"Who told you the Jade Void Sacred Palm has been lost, how ignorant you are!" Qinchuan said coldly.

Unlike the Emperor Soul Technique, the Jade Void Sacred Palm is a real manifestation of Divine Power Supernatural Ability.

"Suppress!" Qinchuan roared.

The sky filled with towering, heaven-reaching palm imprints began to descend.

At this moment, it was as if the stars in the sky were falling, comets sweeping across, tracing extremely dazzling and brilliant lights through the heavens.

"Control!"

Qinchuan activated the Imperial Decree Technique, and the Heaven Devouring Cauldron and Chi Yue Spear moved under his spell, pressing towards the man in the black robe together.

"Ah——"

The black-robed man roared in anger, his voice more shocking than that of roaring lions and bellowing bulls, causing the sea to churn endlessly, rising tumultuously.

Above his head, the Golden Coffin blotted out the sky and sun, swinging in the void, while magma spewed continuously from within the volcano, signifying his own eruption.

This was a battle of extreme outbursts, and if not for the coverage of this heaven-sealing, earth-destroying Great Formation, the entire Dongju Continent would probably be destroyed in an instant.

"Bang!"

Qinchuan's Sacred Palm came crashing down, sweeping the black-robed man's Golden Coffin flying, the volcano utterly collapsing, countless magma scattering across the sky, raining red magma from above.

The black-robed man's Magic Artifact was knocked away as he, in a burst of extreme physical power, wrapped Divine Power around his arm and hammered towards Qinchuan, releasing radiant and brilliant Dharma Patterns, the terrifying energy causing one to tremble.

The two fought like true gods in the void.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The terrifying Jade Void Sacred Palm struck the black-robed man's body, producing a series of dull thuds.

The next moment, the black-robed man was sent flying backwards.

Blood tinged his chaotic mask red, the fresh blood he spat out a testament to the heavy injuries he had suffered under the most splendid Divine Skills.

"Hmph, so what if you can completely ignore this young master's Emperor Soul Technique? So what if you can withstand this young master's Chi Yue Spear's onslaught? I refuse to believe that in the face of primal Divine Power, your shell can still hold up," Qinchuan said coldly.

Although Qinchuan said this, he was becoming increasingly interested in the magical defenses of the black-robed man.

His Jade Void Sacred Palm was absolutely invincible within the same Realm, and in his state of ultimate outburst, this black-robed man should have been dead, but he had only blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, which was sufficient to show how terrifying the man's Defensive Magical Treasure was.

He did not stop his assault, continually launching Palm Imprints while transforming his palm into a claw, bursting out with terrifying Dao Magic, intent on capturing the black-robed man alive.

"Ah——"

The black-robed man bellowed, his body erupting with terrifying energy, as he shifted sideways to escape.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You can't be this strong, how can one person have the energy to cultivate both Spiritual Soul and Divine Power to the pinnacle!"

The black-robed man had now lost his composure, no longer calm and collected, utterly frenzied. He had glimpsed the power of Qinchuan's Spiritual Soul Secret Techniques, but arrogantly believed in the strength of his own defenses, not taking Qinchuan seriously.

Only now, having clashed with him, did he realize that Qinchuan was not only immensely powerful in his Spiritual Soul Secret Techniques, but also had such heaven-defying Divine Power, and even used the long-lost Divine Skill — Jade Void Sacred Palm.
