Chapter 258: Things Are Different Now
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After entering this small world, they received a piece of news. A demonic expert under the command of the Third Prince had been killed by a brash youngster. After much investigation, they could now confirm with near certainty that the attacker was Qin Hao!
In the past, if someone dared kill a member of their Demon Race, the Golden Crow Clan would never have sat idly by. Moreover, the slain expert was a subordinate of the Third Prince of the Golden Crow Clan!
Yet now, things were different. The child who had slain the demonic beast was Su Chen’s man. Even the Spirit Race had met a tragic end here. Who still dared make a move?
The Third Prince stood in the sky above. His golden hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his golden eyes gazed at Su Chen, filled with gravity.
“Third Prince, why don’t we…” The subordinate gritted his teeth and struggled to suggest, “Why don’t we just forget it…” Based on the current situation, only a single subordinate had died. If their Golden Crow Clan insisted on pursuing the matter, then the recent examples like the Infinite Demon Sect, the Dashang Empire, and the Spirit Race would be their fate!
By now, Su Chen’s might had reached its apex. It could be said that whoever provoked him would die. Their Golden Crow Clan was indeed powerful. They once had a Great Emperor Realm ancestor! There were even those who had ascended to the Immortal Realm. Within the immortal realms, their Golden Crow Clan was still a formidable force to be reckoned with.
But the crux was that in this small world, their Golden Crow Clan amounted to nothing. If they stubbornly sought vengeance, Su Chen would surely annihilate them. When that time came, their deaths would be in vain.
Most critically, the Golden Crow Clan had already lost three princes. Those princes had all fallen at the hands of a single prodigy. If the Third Prince also met his end here, then the young generation of the Golden Crow Clan would be completely decimated. The Third Prince was the most gifted among the princes of the Golden Crow Clan. If even he perished… then the Golden Crow Clan would have no chance of rising in this Golden Era.
With several princes falling one after another, those outside who were unaware of the situation even believed that their Golden Crow clan was on the verge of decline.
“Very good!” The Third Prince slowly nodded. After witnessing Su Chen’s power and trump cards, he discarded any notions of fighting back. Perhaps… only the Eldest Prince coming personally now would be qualified to face Su Chen. As for who would have the last laugh, it was really hard to say at this point.
Seeing that the Third Prince did not act impulsively, his subordinate breathed a sigh of relief. This way, their Third Prince’s life was preserved. He himself would not have to throw his life away.
“Whoosh!”
But at this moment, the formation in the air flew back into Su Chen’s palm. The moment Su Chen stowed the formation into his storage ring, the terrifying pressure that suppressed this world promptly vanished without a trace.
“Thank you, Big Brother!” Qin Hao, covered in blood, flew over from afar. He was still somewhat injured, but nothing too serious. A rare smile appeared on his face.
“It was a small matter,” Su Chen said with a smile. Then from his storage ring, he produced a medicinal pill. “Let’s heal you first.”
“Thank you, Big Brother!” Qin Hao hurriedly voiced his gratitude. He accepted the pill and swallowed it down. Very quickly, before their eyes, his injuries visibly began to recover at a rapid pace. Not long after, all traces of wounds had vanished from Qin Hao’s body.
“Since everything’s settled here, we should take our leave!” Su Chen turned and looked at Ye Ruxue. Ye Ruxue gently nodded, a sweet smile on her face.
Soon after, Su Chen bid farewell to the surrounding powerhouses Bringing Ye Ruxue along, he summoned the golden chariot and called for the Great Mystery Sacred Sect disciples to board before flying toward the exit of this small world.
If he remembered correctly, four tokens were still awaiting him at that exit. These were precious treasures! He did not wish for them to fall into the hands of others.
They watched Su Chen leave, and it wasn’t until Su Chen’s figure had completely disappeared from their view that they slowly withdrew their gazes.
“The appearance of the God Demon Sect’s ruins this time has caused great waves indeed! I’m afraid it won’t be long before those factions can no longer sit still!” A Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse slowly withdrew his gaze as he murmured. Many experts had fallen in this small world. Almost every sect and holy land had lost one or two at minimum. Yet it was truly rare to see a faction like the Infinite Demon Sect, the Dashang Empire, and the Spirit Race completely wiped out.
One could well imagine that when everything that happened inside this small world spread outside, Su Chen’s name would resound throughout the East Barrens. Even those hidden powers would be unable to remain tranquil. And next would be Qin Hao! From his very name, one could deduce he was a member of the Qin family Combine that with what Su Chen said earlier, it was likely that both the Qin family and the Spirit Race would go to great lengths to hunt down Qin Hao.
As for whether Su Chen could protect Qin Hao or not… that would be a focal point for all the major factions of the East Barrens.
At the same time, in the East Barrens, Above the sky, on an ancient island, a palace stood, exuding a rich spiritual energy. The island hovered in the void, and the spiritual energy was so dense that it reached its peak. Inside a grand and majestic palace, the spiritual energy had almost completely liquefied.
In the center, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged. The aura emanating from his body was like that of ancient gods and demons, causing even the void to tremble.
Buzz…
At this moment, his eyes suddenly snapped open, two rays of light shooting forth. This person was none other than the Patriarch of the Spirit Race! An extremely terrifying existence!
He and the Dasui Emperor were of the same generation. According to legend, he could have become a saint long ago. Yet for some reason he had not chosen to break through, like the Dasui Emperor and others accumulating his foundation over time. After all, the Saint Tribulation was different from the Nirvana Tribulation. Generally, the more heavenly tribulations one endured, the stronger one would become.
An ordinary peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse would be wholly focused on overcoming the Saint Tribulation. No matter how many heavenly tribulations they could transcend, as long as they could break through to the Saint Realm, that was enough. But naturally, expectations were different for the leading clans like the Spirit Race. Especially for their leader! They were all prestigious figures of the Spirit Race. If they only overcame one or two Saint Tribulations, they would become the laughingstock of the other factions. Their goal had always been to overcome the legendary fifth heavenly tribulation. Only transcending five heavenly tribulations or more would not disgrace their clan.
“You’re still very sensitive!” At this moment, a deep, resonant voice echoed. The source of this voice was unknown within the grand hall. The words were filled with an indescribable meaning. He seemed to be issuing commands like an exalted celestial emperor.
“Why did you come here today?” The Spirit Race Patriarch’s brows slightly knitted together as he spoke. The owner of this voice was none other than the head of the Qin family! He was also Qin Yuan’s father! Strictly speaking, the other party should address the Spirit Race Patriarch as brother-in-law.
“Ling Yu… Is dead!” The faint word rang out in the Spirit Race Patriarch’s ears.
“Hmm?” Hearing this, the Patriarch furrowed his brow even deeper. He had sensed that something bad might happen while he was cultivating just now.. But what he had never expected was that Ling Yu had actually died!
