Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards
Chapter 525 - 293: The Sea Level Sword Emerges—One Strike Determines Victory!
This kind of behavior, not to mention showing some disdain, indeed did not take them seriously.
Presumably, only a Great True Monarch would have such confidence.
Therefore, they were ready. Once Qi Chuan mentioned the words "Great True Monarch," they would almost certainly walk away.
"...my cultivation realm?"
However, just as the two were thinking this way, Qi Chuan and True Monarch Cyan Bamboo looked at each other, their expressions surprisingly surprised, as if they hadn’t expected the two to ask such a question.
"Do I even need to say it? Of course, it’s..."
Qi Chuan spoke with a somewhat strange expression.
"Just as expected!"
Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch, even before hearing the answer, began to sigh inwardly: "It seems we’ll have to give up on this relic treasure..."
"Of course, it’s the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm!" Qi Chuan said matter-of-factly.
"Fellow Daoist Qichuan, you are too honest. If you claimed to have the cultivation of a Great True Monarch, Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch would have left directly." True Monarch Cyan Bamboo added.
"???
"What? Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm?"
The two people, who were initially feeling somewhat dejected, were stunned upon hearing this. They immediately looked up at Qi Chuan.
It seemed unbelievable.
Even a trace of anger was contained in their eyes.
"What, did I ever say I was in the Realm of the Great True Monarch?"
"Or did you think I, with a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation, would easily get involved in the conflicts of you three Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Monarchs?"
Qi Chuan said.
He indeed hadn’t expected these two to have such a misunderstanding about his cultivation.
Meanwhile.
Spirit Creation True Monarch’s face began to darken.
Golden Stele True Monarch’s face turned ashen: "Since you are also in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, how dare you toy with the two of us like this?"
"When did I ever toy with you?" Qi Chuan asked in confusion.
"It’s your own misunderstanding." True Monarch Cyan Bamboo nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Golden Stele True Monarch’s face alternated between red and blue, feeling ashamed and annoyed inside.
He hadn’t imagined he’d be scared into this state by a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
Next to him, Spirit Creation True Monarch took a deep breath, but his restraint was higher. After suppressing his fluctuating emotions, he solemnly said, "Since you are also in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, forgive us for not easily retreating."
"We are not willing to give up on that relic treasure and wish to fight for it!"
"Indeed!" Golden Stele True Monarch also glared at Qi Chuan with some resentment and said, "That relic’s main hall was only accessible after the three of us joined forces to kick out the other Nascent Soul Early Stages. The spoils inside naturally should be shared equally among the three of us. How can we let True Monarch Cyan Bamboo monopolize the relic treasure?"
"To put it bluntly, you just don’t want to fulfill your promises and agreements, right? Whether it’s your agreements in the Secret Realm or those made with me?" Qi Chuan sighed and said.
Upon hearing this, Spirit Creation True Monarch fell silent. He didn’t speak because he knew that they were indeed in the wrong in both instances, so he had no words to refute.
"Unless you immediately break through to the Realm of the Great True Monarch, otherwise, there’s no way we will retreat!"
"However, now that you also have two Nascent Soul Middle Stages among you, your strength is equal to ours, so we can take a step back and give you a smaller share. This is our bottom line!"
Golden Stele True Monarch spoke, and whether reasonable or not, he spoke with a strong tone.
"Alas!"
"Negotiations failed."
Qi Chuan’s face showed a trace of helplessness: "It seems laziness is not an option. In the Cultivation Realm, no matter how truthful and simple the words, they can’t compare with a quick sword!"
"Cough, cough... Fellow Daoist Qichuan, I’ll fight alongside you. Although I’m injured, I still have the strength to fight! Let me handle Spirit Creation True Monarch. You take care of Golden Stele True Monarch. Although he’s cunning, his strength is indeed a cut above Spirit Creation True Monarch, so I’ll leave him to you."
True Monarch Cyan Bamboo coughed, stepped forward, and said.
"No need."
"Since you’re injured, it’s not convenient for you to make a move. I’ll handle these two myself."
Qi Chuan waved his hand and said with little concern.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo couldn’t help but look at Qi Chuan hesitantly.
Although he knew Qi Chuan was very powerful, having once slain a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon in the sea with little effort,
But now they have two Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts here.
Can Qi Chuan handle them all by himself?
"Good! Very good! I’ve never encountered someone so arrogant and dismissive before! I’d like to see what you’d rely on to be so pretentious!"
At this moment, Golden Stele True Monarch was extremely angry and ended up laughing.
He always thought of himself as somewhat arrogant in his usual actions.
Yet today, he truly opened his eyes.
In front of Qi Chuan’s reckless arrogance, he felt his normal behavior was downright humble.
"Spirit-Suppressing Golden Stele!"
The next moment, he moved directly.
He directly summoned his main Spirit Treasure. A streak of golden light flew out, rapidly expanding in the wind, transforming into a massive golden stele fifty zhang large, carrying an immensely heavy aura, like a gigantic mountain, pressing down directly towards Qi Chuan.
The power of this stele was indeed strong.
Even before it landed, Qi Chuan already felt the space around him enveloped by an extremely heavy force, making the space feel like a solid, making it difficult to move.
Under the fifty-zhang giant stele, space was also collapsing.
One could imagine, if Qi Chuan were struck by such a blow, what the outcome would be.
"Perhaps you indeed have some reliance, possibly possessing extraordinary magical combat power; however, until it’s displayed, forgive Spirit Creation for not believing it."
"If you want us to be convinced and give up on that relic treasure, please show your true strength. If you can defeat the two of us, we will immediately retreat."
Spirit Creation True Monarch also stepped forward, summoning his Stone Bottle Spirit Treasure. With a surge of mana, it transformed into a huge bottle several zhang large. Once the stone lid was opened, a massive earthy yellow Spirit Wind was unleashed, sweeping a vast number of huge rocks, each as wide as a person, towards Qi Chuan like a storm.
The momentum was incredibly terrifying.
Even an uninjured True Monarch Cyan Bamboo had to be extremely cautious and exert all his strength to fend it off successfully.
Seeing this, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist preparing to intervene and assist Qi Chuan.
Because he thought that the combined assault of Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch was quite terrifying, he couldn’t believe that Qi Chuan could easily hold off these two attacks alone.
Thus, perhaps his help was still needed.
However, just as True Monarch Cyan Bamboo was about to make a move, Qi Chuan acted even more swiftly.
"Sea Level Sword!"
Qi Chuan opened his mouth, and a streak of azure light flew out, transforming into a broad flying sword about four feet long, suspended in the void.
With the sword appearing in the void, peculiar fluctuations began to emanate from the sword body, causing the surrounding space to ripple as if with ocean waves.
"Sword Gang Division!"
Immediately, with a thought from Qi Chuan, the Sea Level Sword shuddered slightly, then blurred in the light and shadow, dividing into two identical Sea Level Sword shadows on either side.
These two Sea Level Sword shadows on the left and right emitted the same fluctuations as the original flying sword.
"Go."
With a gentle word from Qi Chuan.
Swish, swish, swish!
The next moment, the three Sea Level Sword shadows rushed forward with terrifying speed towards the void.
Two of the divided sword shadows were aimed towards Spirit Creation True Monarch.
The flying sword itself was aimed at Golden Stele True Monarch.
As for Qi Chuan, after performing the Sword Gang Division Divine Techniques, he stood there with hands behind his back, watching the three Sea Level Sword shadows depart with a faint smile.
He didn’t use the Human-Sword Unity Divine Techniques.
Nor did he make any other moves.
It was as if the victory was already assured.
