Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Creation 3 Incense Sticks
"Get lost!"
Facing the vicious serpents, Qin Chuan stomped his right foot fiercely, a shockwave spreading out from him as the center.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The serpents were knocked flying, and even the Jade-faced Flower Monarch was sent reeling backward.
Qin Chuan’s right hand sliced through the air like a blade, a sharp arc cutting across the Celestial Vault, enveloping them within.
"Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!"
The serpents were cut into pieces, black blood splattering, and the Jade-faced Flower Monarch let out a miserable scream. A brutal blood mark appeared on his abdomen, nearly cutting him in half as he fell onto the square.
"Sect Leader!!"
The Elders of the Qingye Tianzong turned pale, quickly rushing to catch him, then preparing to flee.
"Heh, did I say you could leave?"
Qin Chuan gave a cold laugh, waving his sleeve, a giant green leaf covering the sky, trapping them.
One leaf blinds the sky.
Space sealed!
"Qin Chuan, do you really want to make an enemy of my Qingye Tianzong? You should know, our ancestor, Qingye Daojun, has already set foot into the realm of giants, destined to become one!"
Spoke the gritting Real Clear Voice.
"Enemies? You’ve all come to hunt me down, and you still say such things, don’t you find it ridiculous?"
Qin Chuan sneered with sarcasm.
Real Clear Voice’s face stiffened.
The Jade-faced Flower Monarch clutched his wound, coughed twice, and said with a pale face, "Qin Chuan, this time you win. Kill us if you must, but your end will definitely be worse than ours!"
"Heh."
Qin Chuan chuckled disdainfully, then suddenly appeared in front of him, face to face, and asked, "What was your cultivation at your peak?"
"Huh?"
The Jade-faced Flower Monarch was taken aback, somewhat at a loss, then recovered his composure, snorting coldly, "Hmph! At my peak, I was a Five Realm Divine King, crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant!"
He raised his head proudly.
This was his last pride!
"Is that so... then go." Qin Chuan smiled slightly and said, "I’m curious about your peak power."
"What? You’re really letting us go?" The Jade-faced Flower Monarch frowned, suspicion in his eyes.
"No, I’m saying, you can go, but not the others." Qin Chuan smiled.
"You!!"
The Jade-faced Flower Monarch gazed at Qin Chuan in rage, then looked at the several Qingye Tianzong Elders.
The elderly elders all gritted their teeth, faces ashen, but they said nothing, knowing begging would be useless.
"Go, before I change my mind."
Qin Chuan smiled and said.
The Jade-faced Flower Monarch got up with difficulty, wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, and glared at Qin Chuan, "You’ll regret this!!"
Qin Chuan smiled silently.
"Sect Leader, avenge us!" the elders shouted at the Jade-faced Flower Monarch.
With his back to them, the Jade-faced Flower Monarch nodded, then clenched his fists and quickly flew into the distance.
Qin Chuan watched the Jade-faced Flower Monarch’s departure, then turned to the awaiting death elders.
"If you’re going to kill, just do it, no need to-... Splat!"
Real Clear Voice snorted coldly, trying to act tough, but before finishing, suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood.
"You..."
He clutched his stomach in pain, pointing at Qin Chuan with his right hand, blood dripping from his mouth, staining his teeth red.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He tried to say something, but Qin Chuan gave him no chance, as Qin Chuan launched a punch, annihilation sweeping over, turning the elders into blood mist.
Vanished like smoke.
Meanwhile, many onlookers were still observing, and Qin Chuan scanned them, saying flatly, "Disperse."
And so, the crowd quickly turned away expressionless, walking off as if nothing happened.
"Father, why let him go?"
Qin Zi asked gravely.
He had wanted to ask before but feared embarrassing his father in front of others, so he held back.
"He is quite capable."
Qin Chuan smiled slightly, looking meaningfully at Qin Zi, "He will be a stepping stone for you."
Qin Zi’s mouth twitched, "Father, this stepping stone... is too large. I just broke through to the Celestial God Realm."
Qin Chuan spoke seriously, "Pressure creates motivation! Those who achieve greatness plan ten steps ahead with each step."
Qin Zi was stunned.
It seemed off, but it also made sense, especially coming from his father, making it more believable.
Can’t his father be wrong?
Thinking this, he took a deep breath, nodding solemnly, "Father, I understand."
"Good."
Qin Chuan nodded with satisfaction, a pupil worthy of teaching.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At that moment, three massive pillars of light burst into the sky from afar, the square’s center.
They appeared to be... three incense sticks!
Their sheer size made them as large as columns standing side by side, etched with exquisite patterns, exuding an air of divinity.
It’s a phenomenon.
In reality, their true form wasn’t that large, but they stood over ten meters tall, placed in a three-legged, two-eared bronze cauldron.
"It’s the Incense of Creation!"
"Rumor has it these are offerings to heaven, a connection to an unknown great world. As long as favored by the Incense of Creation, any wish within certain bounds can be granted!"
"Any wish? What if I wish to become a giant, or even the Celestial Lord of the Primordial Chaos?"
"Ah... that’s beyond the scope, but becoming a Divine King is plausible, as someone succeeded before."
"Hiss!!!"
"Hurry, it’s said the closer you are to the Incense of Creation, the easier wishes come true."
Thus, people rushed towards the square’s center.
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Chuan squinted, not excited but slightly worried.
Typically, such free gains might fall to Qin Xiaozhu.
Should Qin Xiaozhu receive the Incense’s favor, secretly wishing to know about his mother...
Wouldn’t his secret be exposed?
"Father, what are you thinking? Let’s head over quickly, maybe one of our wishes can come true!"
Qin Zi said excitedly.
"Let’s go."
Though reluctant, Qin Chuan couldn’t show it, so he led Qin Zi forward.
Soon, they reached the square’s center, where the three giant, radiant incense stood before them.
The tops of the incense showed signs of darkening, slowly burning, releasing wisps of azure smoke, converging into diverse patterns at their tops, ever-changing.
Around the incense, people gathered, sitting orderly, eyes closed.
In the innermost circle sat eight individuals, exuding an ancient, timeless aura that was awe-inspiring.
Divine Kings!!
Qin Chuan’s expression shifted, were these the Primordial Chaos’ resurrected Divine Kings, or were they from the Upper Realm?
"So powerful!"
Qin Zi gasped, the eight’s mere presence instilling an inexplicable sense of suffocation, causing his body to tremble.
"Should we approach?"
Qin Chuan asked calmly.
He was torn inside.
He didn’t want Qin Zi too close to the incense, but if it incited these Divine Kings’ killing intent, it would be beneficial.
Both going and staying had risks and benefits, so it was best for Qin Zi to decide.
No matter Qin Zi’s choice, he’d reinforce the idea — we can approach if we wish, as those Divine Kings don’t concern me!
"Heh, playing the big shot aren’t we? Think you can stroll to the center at will? Show me!"
At that moment, a mocking voice came from the side.
