Supreme Devouring God
Chapter 1798: Is It Really Impossible?
Yes.
The Great Dao of the Ninth Layer Heaven is something almost unheard of, unseen by mortal eyes.
At the very least, along the road Qin Chen had walked so far, after seeing so many Tongtian Great Power Adepts, he had never seen, not even heard of, anyone whose Great Dao came from the Ninth Layer Heaven.
Perhaps, the Ninth Layer Heaven was nothing but a legend.
When the Dark Tree climbed to about one-third of the distance into the Eighth Layer Heaven, it completely stopped.
As if going even a bit higher was pure delusion.
"Is this really...the limit of all limits?"
Qin Chen asked himself in his heart.
He saw the Little Fairy inside the God Devouring Crystal, her face full of hope; he saw Wang Shishi and Qin Qi in the basin, who had stopped cultivating and were craning their necks, waiting expectantly.
They were all looking at him!
"No."
Qin Chen’s gaze became stubborn and unwavering: "This is not the limit, at least, this is not my limit."
"Ninth Layer Heaven!"
Qin Chen raised his head, looking toward that seemingly unscalable Ninth Layer Heaven, his eyes blazing.
His Great Dao, Qin Chen’s Great Dao, would come from the Ninth Layer Heaven where none before had ever stepped, and none after would ever reach!
"God Devouring Enlightenment Technique!"
Qin Chen suddenly began to madly circulate the God Devouring Enlightenment Technique, as if trying to use it to give the Dark Tree strength, to make it continue climbing.
The Dark Tree that had originally halted its ascent.
At the instant Qin Chen circulated the God Devouring Enlightenment Technique, it immediately began once more to slowly advance upward.
Though the speed was slow, it truly was charging upward.
It was like a stubborn sapling, unwilling to accept a mediocre fate; at this moment it was struggling to resist, struggling to grow upward, to let the world witness its radiance.
"Dark Tree, you are the one and only Yuanhua in this world, you are the only one. I believe you can do it—break the shackles, break the limits, break the impossible, and charge upward!"
Many people said Qin Chen was a genius, a freak, a monster.
But.
Qin Chen was merely born in a tiny Thunder Mountain City of the Great Origin Dynasty.
He was just a very ordinary small person, a minor character.
Yet he struggled all the way, grew all the way, and step by step crossed countless hardships and perils, warding off crises to his life.
He founded the Reverse Alliance, and during the Ten Thousand Sects Peak Battle, he beat those arrogant Five-star Sects into utter defeat.
Afterward he founded the Reverse Shadow Sect, uprooted Black Shadow, the number one dark power of West Origin, benefiting countless people, leaving a profound impact.
At the Ranking Struggle Grand Ceremony, wasn’t he also just a negligible pawn on the Chess board?
But in the end.
He took first place, suppressed all heroes, refused to believe in fate, contending with the heavens, contending with men.
Up to now.
He was the Emperor of the Great Origin Dynasty, commanding an eighty-million-strong army; he was also the President of the Telekinesis Master Association of the Great Star Dynasty, leading countless Telekinesis Masters.
And he had promised that woman that he would marry her.
The path he had walked could be called Legendary; he had accomplished what others could not.
Then why.
Why couldn’t his Great Dao belong to the Ninth Layer Heaven?!
Just because no one had ever done it before?
No!
That was only because I, Qin Chen, hadn’t been born yet!
Today I, Qin Chen, will charge into the Ninth Layer Heaven and obtain a Great Dao that belongs solely to me, unique under heaven, contending with none, sweeping across the eight desolations—a peerless Great Dao!!!
"Boom!"
The Dark Tree suddenly seemed to gain an immense power; its climbing speed surged, as if it had awakened.
All its branches twisted desperately, and the ninety-nine leaves burst forth with Divine Light.
On the ground.
Qin Qi and Wang Shishi were watching, their blood boiling.
Their fists were clenched tight!
Their hearts were incomparably tense!
"The distance is very close now, less than one-third left. Little brother, come on!"
Wang Shishi didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, screaming encouragement for Qin Chen in her heart.
"Big Brother, you can do it, you definitely can. Isn’t it just the Ninth Layer Heaven? For you, that’s nothing difficult!"
Qin Qi stared at the Sky Dome without blinking.
Thankfully Qin Chen had chosen to break through in the Manggu Mountain Range.
Otherwise.
This scene right now would have drawn who knew how many gazes.
The Eighth Layer Heaven was already shocking beyond belief.
Let alone.
At this moment Qin Chen was already extremely close to the Ninth Layer Heaven!
It seemed...he really could succeed!!!
"Charge! Keep charging!"
Qin Chen pushed his limits to the utmost, broke through his limits, even mustering strength as if from suckling.
If he was going to do it, he would do what others deemed impossible!
"Bang."
A soundless collision rang out; it was the sound of the Dark Tree colliding with the Ninth Layer Heaven. Though there was no sound, within Qin Chen’s world, the impact boomed incomparably loud.
Qin Chen’s heart sped up!
The first impact had failed!
Qin Chen gritted his teeth: "I’ve already touched the Ninth Layer Heaven, so why can’t I rush up? None of this is that difficult."
He launched another impact!
The Little Fairy’s heart was incomparably tense: "I’m not sure whether anyone in Ancient Times ever impacted the Ninth Layer Heaven, but at least, as far as I know, it has never happened."
"It’s very possible that Qin Chen will become the one and only person in this world."
"Qin Chen, you absolutely must do your best. What you bear on your shoulders is anything but ordinary; for you this is a heaven-sent chance, a chance to get far ahead of countless people."
Back when they were still in Thunder Mountain City, the Little Fairy had told Qin Chen that he carried something on his back.
And along this road.
Qin Chen had indeed not disappointed the Little Fairy’s trust.
He worked extremely hard, extremely diligently.
But in truth, sometimes.
Choice was even more important than effort.
Just like today!
If Qin Chen could impact the Ninth Layer Heaven and choose the Great Dao of the Ninth Layer Heaven, that would mean he would get ahead of not just trillions of people.
It would save an enormous amount of time!
The second impact failed!
Between the Ninth Layer Heaven and the Eighth Layer, it was as if a steel plate stood in the way. No matter how Qin Chen rammed, he just couldn’t break through into the Ninth Layer Heaven.
But.
Qin Chen’s eyes were still persistent, resolute.
Not a trace of giving up appeared.
If once doesn’t work, then twice; if twice doesn’t work, then thrice.
If three times don’t work, then do it countless times!
Until it works!
The third impact!!!
At this moment Qin Chen seemed even more like he was battling the Sky, clashing with fate.
"Crack, crack."
The branches on the Dark Tree began to break. To have climbed this high was already the limit of limits; the continuous impacts were causing the Dark Tree to start collapsing.
The Little Fairy’s expression changed dramatically: "Qin Chen, you may have to stop. The Yuanhua is incomparably important; once it’s damaged, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"The Ninth Layer Heaven may be tempting, but the Eighth Layer Heaven is honestly already not bad."
Seeing that the Dark Tree had actually begun to collapse, the Little Fairy’s face changed, then she let out a sigh.
Wasn’t she also hoping beyond hope that Qin Chen could impact the Ninth Layer Heaven?
But if Qin Chen persisted any further, it would cause irreparable consequences.
"Is it really impossible?"
Qin Chen raised his head; above his head was the Ninth Layer Heaven—seemingly within arm’s reach, yet as if separated by heaven and earth.
"No!"
Qin Chen suddenly shook his head, his gaze like a blazing torch: "I want to try one more time, the last time! My Great Dao must belong to... the Ninth Layer Heaven!!!"
