Chapter 656: Chapter 655: The Qin Family’s Ambition
BOOM!
A Quasi-Saint fighting for his life was not to be underestimated. Even Qin Feng, who possessed a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven and was bolstered by its power, had to be cautious.
The Sea Sacrifice Elder also cultivated the Sea Law—a Yang God Level Sea Law. Any one of his attacks was enough to obliterate a Supreme Great Power.
"Sea Law, Water-saturated Cyan!"
"Sea Law, Shattering Heaven and Earth!"
The Power of Laws, strong enough to shatter heaven and earth, vibrated through the area. It seemed as if it would tear the entire Fuhai Palace apart and reduce Qin Feng to ashes.
"Void Law, Primordial Element Void!" Qin Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he unleashed his nascent void to clash with the Sea Sacrifice Elder.
Although he had only just entered the Martial Dao Great Power Realm, the boost from his Medium-sized Grotto Heaven’s power meant he feared no Yang God Quasi-Saint.
The all-encompassing Void Law enveloped the Sea Law, drawing it layer by layer into the turbulent void!
"The Void Law? Who in the world are you? Why are you impersonating Her Majesty the Queen and plundering my Sea Demon Clan!" the Sea Sacrifice Elder demanded, both shocked and furious.
The Void Law was known as one of the strongest Laws, on par with the Time Law.
"As for who I am, you should ask your Sea Demon Clan that!" Qin Feng sneered, his killing intent bone-deep.
"Yang God Law, a Grain in the Sea!" Enraged, the Sea Sacrifice Elder unleashed a series of Sea Law attacks.
The streams of Sea Law formed into pearl-like projectiles that shot forward like meteors. Each one contained the power of an entire sea, and their might was overwhelming.
They smashed into the surrounding space, directly breaking through the Void to rush toward Qin Feng.
"Not bad. As it happens, I’ve also comprehended a Void Law technique: The Four Elements are Void!" Qin Feng’s figure floated in the air, emitting an endless Profound Light. He unleashed a Law, and a section of the Fuhai Palace vanished from the Void without a sound.
This one Divine Ability contained over a dozen Profound Mysteries, including Void Tear, Void Travel, and Exile into the Void.
The streams of Sea Law unleashed by the Sea Sacrifice Elder were torn apart, absorbed, and then vanished without a trace.
The Power of the Void Law descended, enveloping the Sea Sacrifice Elder and instantly submerging him.
Time is revered, Space is king. These two Laws were hailed as part of the Ten Strong Iron Rules because they could suppress all other Laws.
"I’ll take you down with me!" Trapped in the Grotto Heaven’s vortex and feeling his own Sea Law being suppressed and ground away by a tyrannical force, the Sea Sacrifice Elder’s hair and beard flew wildly as the aura around him violently exploded!
How powerful is the self-detonation of a Yang God Level Quasi-Saint?
With Fuhai Palace at its epicenter, the surging power tore apart Cloud Lake, creating a momentary vacuum before erupting into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
It even completely vaporized a portion of the mist surrounding Cloud Lake.
A long moment later, the lake water surged, and Qin Feng’s figure reappeared in mid-air.
A Black Lotus bloomed beneath his feet.
It was the complete Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus, a Top-level Protective True Qi.
After a moment of contemplation and a glance at the Fuhai Palace, which had been completely razed to the ground, Qin Feng’s figure flickered and vanished.
「...」
"Such terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations?"
The moment the Sea Sacrifice Elder self-detonated, many experts in Yunhu City sensed it. One after another, Martial Arts Giants appeared on the city’s watchtowers, gazing toward Cloud Lake in the distance.
Far away, it looked as if a hole had been punched through the Sea of Clouds. A devastating power was rushing up from the bottom of the lake, an absolutely terrifying sight.
There was the Li Family Ancestor, Li Xiuyun; the master of the Yunhu City auction house, Dongfang Taiyi; the Cloud Lake Virtual Market Master, Liu Yunlou; and others, like Jin Yuanting, the ancestor of the Jin Family, one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families.
One Martial Dao Great Power after another was present.
"What tyrannical Spiritual Qi fluctuations! I can sense a dead silence within them, an aura of Annihilation. This must be the self-detonation of an existence at the Great Power Level or higher!"
The speaker was an old man dressed in a silk robe with a jade belt. He had a burly physique and a grave expression, a hint of worry in his eyes.
He exuded the aura of a Martial Arts Giant, causing the many Martial Artists in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm to feel both awe and envy.
Jin Yuanting! The ancestor of the Jin Family, one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families!
Jin Yuanting had only recently advanced to become a Martial Arts Giant, taking advantage of the fact that four of the Five Great Families had been lost.
He was a shrewd man. He knew the Five Great Families had suppressed the birth of any Martial Arts Giant Level experts in other families, so he had been patiently biding his time.
It was only after Qin Feng dismantled the Five Great Families that he successfully broke through in one fell swoop.
Now, the Jin Family was already poised to replace the four fallen families!
However, Jin Yuanting was not optimistic. Cloud Lake was on the outskirts of Yunhu City, and for such a terrifying event to occur there was truly unsettling.
If one falls, the next is in danger!
Dongfang Taiyi pondered for a moment, seeming rather unconcerned. In truth, the Yunhu City auction house was an asset of the Spirit Treasure Sect—one of its branches.
Even if a major upheaval occurred, he expected that the involved parties would still show some respect to the Spirit Treasure Sect.
"That direction seems to be the territory of the Sea Demon Clan. I’m sure we’ll have news soon!"
"It’s fine. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. The one in charge of Yunhu City now is City Lord Qin Feng. Since no one from the City Lord’s Mansion has appeared, it means Yunhu City itself probably won’t be affected," the Li Family Ancestor, Li Xiuyun, said with a faint smile.
He glanced around. Yunhu City had become increasingly prosperous during this time, with far more Martial Artists at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm than were usually seen.
Many families had chosen to put down roots in Yunhu City. That new female Civil Affairs Official was truly extraordinary in her methods.
In the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Qingyun, Qin Qingyue, Qin Qinghong, and Qin Yumei all looked toward Yu Yao, who sat on the seat behind the Patriarch’s main throne.
Qin Qingyun spoke up. "Miss Yu, should we dispatch someone to the depths of Cloud Lake to investigate?"
"It’s fine. There’s no need for any of you to be nervous. The Patriarch just sent word that this matter has nothing to do with Yunhu City," Yu Yao replied, her beautiful eyes shimmering. She was dressed in a palace-style gown, both magnificent and elegantly charming.
She was truly a captivating enchantress.
On top of that, having handled administrative duties and made life-or-death decisions recently, she had gained an additional air of decisiveness that was utterly captivating.
Hearing this, the members of the Qin Family exchanged glances, a flicker of joy in their eyes. "The Patriarch is out of seclusion? Does that mean he has broken through to the Martial Arts Giant Realm!"
The Qin family members were overjoyed.
A Martial Arts Giant! The old ancestor of the Du Family in the Yan Kingdom was only an existence of that level.
If Qin Feng had the ambition, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to make Qin the national surname and turn the Qin Family into a Royal Race.
The founding Emperor of the Yan Kingdom was once a True Disciple of the Star Sect.
"However, the Patriarch didn’t just break through to the Giant Realm. He broke through to the Martial Dao Great Power Realm in one go!"
Yu Yao’s tone was hushed, her expression filled with an indescribable emotion.
"What? He broke through to the Martial Dao Great Power Realm in one go!"
"He broke through to the Great Power Realm? Heavens, the Patriarch broke through two Great Realms at once?"
"A Martial Dao Great Power! Even the ancestors of some Middle Grade and Upper Grade County States are only at that level!"
"Our Qin Family of Yunhu City now has a Great Power as our ancestor!"
The members of the Qin Family’s jaws dropped, and the unrestrained joy on their faces stretched into grins that nearly reached their ears.
Now that Qin Feng had advanced to become an ancestor, according to the rules, he would have to expand his territory and establish a state with ancestral temples to nurture and refine his Grotto Heaven. This was inevitable.
If Qin Feng became a founding emperor, wouldn’t they, who had followed him and built everything from scratch, rise along with him like a rising tide lifts all boats?
Yu Yao’s gaze flickered as she thought to herself, ’Perhaps it’s time to contact the Yu Family. This is a rare opportunity for the Yu Family of Xiahe Town!’
At that moment, atop a restaurant in Yunhu City, an elegant young man with long, flowing hair stared into the depths of Cloud Lake, his eyes filled with a strange and solemn light. ’A Yang God Level Quasi-Saint actually self-detonated. Who on earth could have forced a Quasi-Saint to such a desperate measure!’
This elegant young man was none other than Zi Lu, who had followed a sensed aura all the way from the Sheji Profound Sect!
