"I suppose so."

"I first forced Emperor Chu to come out. That guy is really cunning; I had almost destroyed half of the Imperial Palace before he finally came out," Qin Chen said.

Was Emperor Chu forced out?

Elder Shen and the other two were somewhat stunned. Since when did Emperor Chu become so unfortunate?

"Moreover, at that time, he summoned the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army to deal with me. Later, seeing that they couldn't handle me, he attacked me while the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army was fighting me," Qin Chen continued.

"Dealing with both the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army and Emperor Chu at the same time?!"

Li Guangxuan looked doubtful. How terrifying is the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army? Even he couldn't claim to withstand it.

And then there was Emperor Chu added to the equation.

Under such pressure,

how did Qin Chen escape?

"Emperor Chu knew he couldn't defeat me, so he could only rely on the power of the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army to fight me. However, he miscalculated; my strength was stronger than he imagined."

"Speaking of which, I must thank him. He did hoard quite a few good things, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enhance my strength and obliterate the entire Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army so easily in the end," Qin Chen said.

"Are you saying that the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army was annihilated?!"

Elder Shen's eyes widened. In his mind, scenes from the battle at the Chu Imperial City popped up, recalling when the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army went to battle. It was such a formidable army that even combined efforts couldn't hold them back.

Now, they were actually annihilated by Qin Chen? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

This, this is simply unimaginable!

"Did that group of Giant Rock Dead Soldiers not unleash their combined attack power?" Ouyang Zhou frowned.

"Of course they did, and it even hit me. But I reacted quickly and dodged to the edge area in the nick of time, barely escaping," Qin Chen replied.

"Even at the edge area, that power is enough to destroy heaven and earth."

"It seems you've become stronger again," Elder Shen remarked.

Li Guangxuan didn't know the terror of the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army, but Ouyang Zhou and Elder Shen did. Especially Elder Shen, who had even endured the combined attack power of the Giant Rock Dead Soldiers.

That's precisely why he was so shocked, even saying he was frightened.

"So, where is Emperor Chu?" Li Guangxuan asked.

"Originally, I intended to slay him in the Imperial Palace, but due to limited strength and being entangled by the Giant Rock Dead Soldier Army, I lost the opportunity to kill him in the palace and he escaped. Now he should be recuperating at the Great Origin Saint Sect."

"But it doesn't matter. Next time we encounter him, he will surely die by my hand," Qin Chen assured.

Li Guangxuan and the others couldn't help but swallow hard.

He, he literally slaughtered his way through the entire Imperial Palace!

When Qin Chen talked about going to the palace before, Li Guangxuan didn't really stop him because he had confidence in Qin Chen's abilities, believing he could escape.

But never in his dreams did he think.

Qin Chen didn't escape from the palace; he fought his way out.

"Back then, I truly didn't misjudge you,"

Ouyang Zhou looked at Qin Chen, his heart full of emotion. How weak was Qin Chen back when he was at the Blood Continent Sect?

Now his strength has completely surpassed him.

His strength was comparable to Emperor Chu.

Since Qin Chen could kill Emperor Chu, it meant he had the ability to kill him.

"I still have a good number of healing elixirs and other resources on hand. I'll place them in the Saint Treasure Pavilion for distribution as needed," Qin Chen said.

He had only refined the Heaven and Earth Treasures obtained from the national treasury.

Spirit Pills, Primordial Artifacts, Elemental Talismans, and so on hadn't been used, and Qin Chen didn't need them. He decided to distribute them to enhance the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect overall.

The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect still had a tough battle to fight.

"Alright."

Li Guangxuan nodded without any pretense. Now, Qin Chen and the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect were inseparable. If the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect grew stronger, it would indirectly aid Qin Chen.

Moreover, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect currently needed these things.

"Just yesterday, the Beast Taming Clan also merged with the Great Origin Saint Sect. Now, in the entire Great Origin Dynasty, only us, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, and the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect are left," Elder Shen said.

"Then we can completely ally with the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, provided the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect is willing, of course."

"However, given the current situation, the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect really has no choice. They either unite with us or, like the Beast Taming Clan, are forced to merge with the Great Origin Saint Sect," Qin Chen said.

The Great Origin Saint Sect is ambitious; it's clearly aiming to unify the Great Origin Dynasty. The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect can't escape, and the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect is surely not exempt either.

Previously, the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect might have stood by, watching.

But now, they definitely can't.

If they continue to watch, something big might happen.

"Makes sense."

Elder Shen nodded, "Tomorrow, I'll secretly head to the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect to discuss the alliance with their Sect Master Wenren Zhuyu."

Qin Chen nodded.

Only then did Li Guangxuan and the others leave.

Before long.

The news of what Qin Chen did at the Imperial Palace spread throughout the Great Origin Dynasty.

The Great Origin Saint Sect was shocked, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect was elated.

For a moment.

The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, previously critically wounded in a great battle, became invigorated because of Qin Chen's actions at the palace. Everyone was filled with war intent and passion.

Especially when the resources from the national treasury were distributed, every member of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect felt enthusiastic, their hearts filled with pride and joy.

Originally, they saw no hope.

But now.

Qin Chen was their beacon of hope.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen found himself in the Black Mysterious Smoke area of Demon Peak, where he utilized the Yunshen Mountain Stone and Enlightenment Tea to train his Sword Intent and Saber Technique.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect and the Great Origin Saint Sect will have a decisive battle.

That battle will decide the landscape of the Great Origin Dynasty.

It will be a final showdown of sorts.

Whoever wins that battle will dominate the Great Origin Dynasty.

But honestly, right now, the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's chances of winning aren't high, even though their morale is soaring. The Great Origin Saint Sect is incredibly strong.

It is almost as if the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect is standing against the entire Great Origin Dynasty.

Therefore, Qin Chen cannot afford to relax for even a second.

He must ensure victory in that battle.

If not,

aside from himself,

Li Guangxuan, Elder Shen, Tang Cang, Saint Leitian, Sheng Xuefu, and others.

None of them will survive.

This battle, Qin Chen isn't fighting just for himself, but also for those who love him, those he must protect.

Training Sword Intent by the Yunshen Mountain Stone.

With the addition of Enlightenment Tea and Qin Chen's inherent two hundred times comprehension increase, his improvement was swift.

After two days.

All three of his Blade Intents had improved, advancing to the Level 6 Great Success Realm, a complete transformation of his Sword Intent.

"Perhaps I can attempt to cultivate the second move of the 'Reverse Demon Saber Technique,' Reverse Image Life and Death Slash!"
