“Hmm? The ninth Nirvana Tribulation?”
Hearing this, Qin Hao and Cao Yun exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other’s eyes.
When did… someone even use the transcendence of the ninth Nirvana Tribulation to show off?
Not far away, the two Quasi-Saint Realm experts also exchanged a look, without any expression or even a hint of shock.
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Qiu Tu’s expression turned ugly. He had just mentioned the ninth Nirvana Tribulation! Although far inferior to the ninth Saint Tribulation, in all of history, how many times had the ninth heavenly tribulation appeared? Weren’t those who passed the ninth heavenly tribulation all existences who suppressed their eras?
He had revealed such shocking news today, shouldn’t these people be awestruck, even admiring? Why were they so calm?
However, what he didn’t know was that not long ago, a prodigy of the Dashang Empire had fallen. Not only had he transcended the ninth Nirvana Tribulation, but he also had an invincible divine body! If Qiu Tu knew this, he might understand why Qin Hao and the others were so calm. Because everyone present knew very well that not far away, a demon who had transcended the tenth heavenly tribulation was battling! Moreover, not long after breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, that demon had reached the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm. He was now a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse!
“Oh,” Qin Hao said indifferently, not paying his news any mind.
“Then let me give your master a message. In the near future, I will personally take back what I lost.”
Despite his youth, his words were exceptionally solemn. No one present doubted their authenticity, except Qiu Tu.
“You?”
Qiu Tu laughed mockingly, his loose black hair swaying. His eyes were full of disdain as he raised a jade-like finger, pointing straight at Qin Hao.
“In my eyes, you’re weaker than an ant on the ground! You can’t even defeat me now, yet you dare challenge my young master?”
With a crack, his finger fell, and a silvery-white bolt of lightning appeared, blindingly bright as it tore through the sky in an instant.
Everyone present couldn’t help but close their eyes, the lightning too dazzling.
Qin Hao gritted his teeth, forming seals with both hands as divine lights interwove, a demonic beast’s phantom gradually appearing behind him. As soon as it emerged, it charged at Qiu Tu.
“Suan NL.Divine Technique!”
Seeing this, Qiu Tu’s brow furrowed slightly.
This divine technique was very rare. At the same level, using it could get one anything. Of course, it depended on the target.
Against a pure-blooded Suan Ni at the Spirit Sea Realm, Qiu Tu’s first reaction would be to flee as far as possible. Unfortunately, the one using the Suan Ni Divine Technique now was Qin Hao! And Qin Hao was only at the God Altar Realm.
“Humph! Seeking death!”
Qiu Tu coldly snorted, his finger continuing to fall as another silvery bolt appeared. The two bolts combined into one, piercing the heavens and earth like a silvery sword, crushing Suan Ni’s phantom into dust in an instant.
Just as Qiu Tu thought Qin Hao was about to fall, an ordinary figure flashed forward to quickly block before Qin Hao. He simultaneously summoned three defensive spiritual treasures, rushing into the sky at once.
Boom!
A deafening sound rang out. Two spiritual treasures were smashed to bits, the third greatly reduced in spirituality, about to shatter. But fortunately, Qiu Tu’s attack was blocked.
“Pfft…”
Cao Yun’s body swayed as he spat out a mouthful of blood, already injured from Qiu Tu’s sneak attack.
With two spiritual treasures destroyed, though most power was blocked, he still sustained heavy injuries.
Previously he would never directly take a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse’s attack, but now, having promised Senior Brother Su Chen to protect Qin Hao, he would let Qin Hao live even at the cost of his own life
“Brother Cao, are you alright?” Qin Hao stepped forward, supporting Cao Yun with concern.
“I’m fine.” Cao Yun wiped the blood from his mouth. “I’ll hold him off, you hurry and find Senior Brother Su Chen! With Senior Brother here, this man can’t hurt us!”
“You want to leave?” Qiu Tu said coldly. “Today, none of you can leave!”
He stood tall and straight like a deity, loose black hair draped over his shoulders, pitch-black eyes flickering with frightening light.
“Since you chose to attack, you can accompany Qin Hao in death here!”
As he finished speaking, a long sword appeared in Qiu Tu’s hand, slashing down at Qin Hao and Cao Yun. This was extreme confidence and arrogance. He didn’t take them seriously at all, a disdainful smile on his lips as his robe fluttered in the gusts.
The sword light expanded to a thousand feet, landing atop Cao Yun’s head. Dao patterns interweaved as killing intent swept the nine heavens.
“Clang!”
Cao Yun gritted his teeth, summoning a golden talisman that became a large net, colliding intensely with the sword light in a deafening metallic clang. The terrifying soundwaves made the surrounding mountains tremble.
The two observing Quasi-Saint Realm experts sighed inwardly at this scene. Not just anyone could cross levels to fight! Su Chen could do it easily, but his junior brother Cao Yun might not succeed.
Though blocked by the talisman, the next strike might not be so lucky! With so many trump cards, the two could tell Cao Yun could leave anytime. But beside him stood Qin Hao, rendering escape impossible. Most critically, this Qiu Tu of the Shadowless Hall was not simple! Even together, victory was uncertain.
Qiu Tu’s expression was cold as his sword slashed out again. Ten thousand sword lights swept the heavens, much stronger than before. The large net was shredded, and Qin Hao and Cao Yun instantly blasted away. In but a blink, both were covered in injuries.
“Is this your limit?” Qiu Tu said disdainfully, glancing at the two blasted back while remaining calm and composed.
Believing victory assured, he saw no need to keep pursuing them. Anyway, they could die by his hand anytime. His gaze fell to where Qin Hao had stood earlier.
“This… This is…”
Confusion flashed through Qiu Tu’s eyes. There atop a huge rock sat a massive egg, covered in mysterious patterns. Each pattern seemed to contain the profound laws of heaven and earth. Just one look imparted a feeling of parting the clouds and seeing the dawn, and understanding of the Dao also became much clearer..
