Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished silently from the high throne like a ghost, without attracting the slightest attention from anyone below who was watching or competing intently.
Almost simultaneously, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in space, and Qin Chuan seemed to teleport, appearing out of thin air atop a desolate, rugged cliff several miles away.
Not far in front of him, a blurry, indistinguishable figure stood still, shrouded in a layer of eerie, blood-red energy mist that was constantly churning and twisting.
This thick layer of blood mist was clearly an extremely sophisticated concealment technique, not only perfectly obscuring the true appearance and physique of the newcomer, but also greatly interfering with perception.
Even its own aura was fragmented, leaving only an overwhelming sense of ominousness, evil, and destruction, permeating the air like a tangible force, making one nauseous.
Qin Chuan's arrival clearly broke the opponent's concealment very quickly, exceeding their expectations.
But the crimson figure only paused slightly, without panicking. Then, a hoarse, piercing laugh, as if the wails of countless wronged souls were mixed together, came from the direction of the mask:
"Hmph, your perception is frighteningly sharp. No wonder you were able to stir up this stagnant pool of the Underworld and sit on the throne of the King of the Underworld. Your name is quite impressive, but I wonder if the foundation beneath your throne is solid enough to withstand a single blow?"
Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, his dark cloak fluttering in the eerie wind at the top of the cliff. His expression was as calm as an unchanging abyss, without the slightest ripple. Only in his deep, star-like eyes did a chillingly sharp glint flash.
He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet carrying an invisible pressure that clearly reached the other's ears: "Whether it lives up to its reputation or not, words are not enough. Why don't you come forward and try it yourself?"
In an instant, the air above the cliff seemed to be completely sucked out, solidified into ancient ice, so heavy that it made one's heart stop beating.
The mist surrounding the crimson figure surged violently like a boiling sea of blood. A terrifying alien energy, filled with extreme aggression and pure destruction, suddenly awakened like a world-destroying beast that had been dormant for billions of years. It began to rise and expand rapidly and without reservation!
A chilling killing intent, like an invisible net, instantly enveloped the entire cliff.
A great war is about to break out!
Chapter 16 The Ghost King's Scheme
The strange energy erupting from the attacker was enormous, like a volcano that had been dormant for millions of years suddenly erupting.
Its magnitude was surging and overwhelming, clearly exceeding the baseline of five black holes, reaching the threshold that a nebula-type supreme being should possess, and the vast energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to tremble.
Strangely, however, it did not manifest the dazzling nebula that should have been able to encompass the heavens and earth.
Instead, its main body, amidst a violent surge of viscous, life-like blood-red light, suddenly expanded against all reason, its muscles bulging and its bones cracking, instantly becoming towering and upright.
Although not as vast and boundless as a nebula, it was incredibly solid, radiating a savage and oppressive aura that originated from flesh and blood itself, making people's hearts tremble.
This appears to be a unique and dangerous way of using power, abandoning the vast energy radiation advantage of the nebula body and instead compressing a portion of the nebula's power to the extreme, forcibly fusing it into the physical body, making this flesh and blood body itself the most terrifying weapon.
As if he had suppressed his power for too long, the moment it was completely unleashed, he couldn't help but let out a strange, hoarse laugh. The laugh was full of madness and uncontrollable excitement, like a ferocious beast that had broken free of its shackles for thousands of years.
What made Qin Chuan's gaze sharpen even more was that the person's expression towards him was not purely murderous intent or mortal malice, but rather more like the fervor of a researcher facing a rare specimen, an eagerness to verify and a deep anticipation.
He seemed extremely eager to experience the true power of the Xuanming Nebula firsthand.
"Let me see your nebula body!"
The crimson giant raised its ferocious head, letting out a hoarse, battle-ready roar that shook the clouds apart.
But Qin Chuan wouldn't let him have his way.
Faced with this almost morbid provocation, his mind raced. He did not use the Xuanming Nebula belonging to this world, but his body also began to grow rapidly taller and larger!
This is not an energy manifestation from the Super Beast World, but a top-tier divine power from the Fox Demon World: Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth!
In an instant, the Daoist aura naturally formed, and a majestic Dharma image with ancient and profound patterns flowing throughout its body stood between heaven and earth, its height and power in no way inferior to the blood-red giant opposite.
This Dharma form resonated with heaven and earth, subtly harmonizing with the rules, forming a subtle yet striking contrast with the opponent's massive body, which was purely built up from alien energy and filled with a violent aura.
The newcomer was clearly not expecting Qin Chuan to possess such an unheard-of skill. His face, shrouded in blood mist, trembled violently, revealing an expression of utter astonishment. The words he had prepared were abruptly cut off.
But Qin Chuan gave him no chance to react!
Faxiang clenched his giant fist and unleashed a seemingly simple, direct, and unpretentious punch!
This punch, returning to simplicity, seemed to embody the ultimate truth of the unity of all laws. There were no dazzling light and shadow effects on the fist, but it contained a terrifying power that could shatter stars and reverse yin and yang. Wherever it passed, the space showed distorted ripples and emitted a low groan of unbearable burden!
The blood-red giant's alarm bells rang wildly, and a deadly sense of crisis instantly swept over his entire body. He let out a strange cry, not daring to underestimate the situation in the slightest, and pushed the crimson alien energy around him to its limit, thrusting his palms forward fiercely!
The immense alien energy burst forth like a sea of blood bursting its banks, instantly transforming into countless ferocious, roaring heads of demons that seemed to come from the deepest hell.
These twisted and deformed heads, accompanied by a sharp, soul-corroding howl, spread across the sky, forming a destructive torrent, and fiercely met that seemingly ordinary punch!
"Boom—!!!"
A clash between the strongest beings erupted in the next moment!
An energy shockwave, several times more terrifying than the combined attack of the allied forces previously gathered by Marshal Phoenix, spread out fiercely, sweeping in all directions like a tangible tsunami, causing the entire underworld to tremble violently and crack.
"It's a supreme expert! Another supreme expert has arrived!"
"Lord Hades is currently engaged in battle with another supreme being!"
"My God! How can beings of this caliber appear one after another in the Underworld? What day is it today?"
In the hall, countless beings from the underworld were horrified. Just feeling the aftershocks of the collision from afar made their souls tremble and almost suffocate.
No one dared to approach and watch, as that would be tantamount to courting death.
Phoenix suddenly stood up from her seat, her beautiful face filled with worry, her jade hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Although she knew Qin Chuan's strength was unfathomable, this sudden, eerie energy of a supreme being made her heart pound with fear.
She could sense that it was no powerful being known in the Underworld.
The lion king beside him bristled, his body surging with energy, and took a step forward, almost rushing out to help.
He growled, "Madam! Hades, he..."
Phoenix forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to stop the agitated Lion King and the equally uneasy high-ranking officials of the Underworld. Her voice was soft but firm:
"Trust Hades! He has his reasons for keeping us here. Keep the meeting calm and don't panic!"
Even so, her gaze remained fixed on the direction of the energy burst, her heart taut to the limit.
Meanwhile, in a hidden corner of the underworld, the remaining forces of the Phoenix Clan, who had been observing from the sidelines, also felt this earth-shattering collision.
Instead of showing worry, some members of the tribe revealed a hint of anticipation or even schadenfreude on their faces.
They whispered among themselves:
"Such evil and powerful energy... Could it be that Hades' enemies have come knocking?"
"Hmph, arrogant and conceited! Does he really think he's invincible just because he unified the Underworld? He's provoked someone he shouldn't have. Let's see how he gets out of this mess!"
"The best outcome would be... mutual destruction!"
Deep in their hearts, they all harbored dark thoughts of hoping for Qin Chuan's defeat or even his demise, so that they wouldn't have to leave their homes and seek refuge with the Snow Queen in the seventh parallel universe.
At the center of the collision, the outcome was surprisingly clear!
With a piercing scream, the countless demon heads formed by the blood-red giant shattered and vanished under Qin Chuan's all-encompassing fist, like ice and snow under the sun, or like paper, without even a moment's resistance!
Before the force of the punch was fully unleashed, it shattered all laws and landed solidly on the chest of the blood giant!
"puff--!"
A large mouthful of blood mist containing pure alien energy gushed out of the giant's mouth. His massive body was as if it had been struck head-on by a flying star, and he was sent flying uncontrollably. The thick blood light on his body instantly dimmed and became disordered, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
He had just been arrogantly questioning whether Qin Chuan could withstand a single blow from him, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Qin Chuan, which was extremely ironic.
However, despite suffering such a severe injury, this person did not show any anger or fear. Instead, a strange surprise flashed in his flickering eyes behind the blood mist.
"Very good! You certainly deserve it!"
He endured the excruciating pain, let out a hoarse roar, and without hesitation burned a portion of his own essence. He thrust his hands into the void beside him, tearing open an extremely unstable spatial passage that flickered with chaotic colors.
He then flashed inside, escaping swiftly and decisively without any hesitation!
Generally speaking, apart from the special seven days that occur every 100,000 years, the seven parallel universes are heavily guarded and difficult to communicate with.
However, beings at the highest level of power already have the ability to forcibly break through barriers and travel freely.
Qin Chuan's eyes turned cold, a chilling glint flashing within them.
He had already figured out his identity, how could he allow this scheming schemer who stirred up trouble to escape so easily?
He took a step, shrinking the distance to an inch, and his figure instantly disappeared into the not-yet-completely-closed spatial rift, giving chase.
The moment Qin Chuan disappeared, Phoenix, far away in the venue, sensed something. The familiar and powerful aura suddenly vanished, making her even more worried.
But she knew she had to stay calm.
"Hades has repelled the enemy and is pursuing them. The martial arts tournament will proceed as scheduled!"
She turned to face the panicked crowd, including the agitated Lion King, and said loudly:
"Lion King, immediately strengthen the defenses of the territory, appease all tribes, and without orders, no one is allowed to leave their post or approach the energy eruption area!"
Her voice was clear and strong, which temporarily stabilized the situation, but the deep worry in her eyes revealed the turmoil in her heart.
The Lion King clasped his hands in a deep fist salute: "Yes, Madam!"
He glanced deeply in the direction where Qin Chuan had disappeared, suppressed his worries and fighting spirit, and turned to carry out his orders.
Qin Chuan was, after all, actively tearing through space and crossing parallel universes for the first time, and his skills were not as proficient as that other person's, so his movements were ultimately a beat slower.
When he steadied himself from the violent spatial fluctuations and stepped into a completely new world, the strange yet familiar crimson aura had completely vanished, merging into this vast world and disappearing without a trace.
Qin Chuan's eyes flashed like lightning as he quickly scanned his surroundings.
What came into view was an endless world of ice and snow, a pure white expanse, extremely cold and pristine, with a holy and luminous aura that was completely different from the deathly silence of the underworld.
Even the alien energy floating in the air carries a sense of purification and order.
This is the seventh parallel universe, the Holy Realm ruled by the Snow Queen!
Combined with the attacker's strange power form, deliberately concealed identity, and unusual probing intent that was not aimed at killing the enemy, his identity is already obvious!
He was none other than the Ghost King, who used the alias Guigu and hid under the Snow Queen's command. He appeared kind and humble, but in reality harbored evil intentions!
Among the known nebula-type supreme beings in the seven parallel universes, only the Ghost King, who went astray, would choose to forcibly fuse the nebula-type with the original body.
While this eliminated the fatal weakness of the Real Body's relative fragility, greatly increasing its survivability, it also resulted in its alien energy quality and quantity ranking at the bottom among the strongest beings, and its form being neither fish nor fowl, making it difficult to withstand even a casual punch from Qin Chuan.
However, this person lacked strength but had an inflated ambition that reached its limit. He was delusional about dominating the seven parallel universes and becoming a so-called true god of the universe who was above everything.
He knew that the Snow Emperor's strength was unfathomable, and that his Holy Radiance Nebula was aboveboard and fair, so there was no chance of winning in a direct confrontation. Therefore, he had been lurking by her side, pretending to be a loyal old minister, secretly waiting for the right opportunity, like a venomous snake, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Qin Chuan's sudden emergence and his forceful unification of the Underworld, demonstrating strength no less than that of veteran supreme beings, undoubtedly gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A meticulously planned conspiracy quickly took shape in his mind.
He instigated a direct conflict between Hades and Snow Queen, two supreme beings with diametrically opposed ideologies, triggering an earth-shattering holy war. Once both sides were severely weakened and exhausted, he would step in to clean up the mess, reap the benefits, and eliminate all obstacles in one fell swoop!
