A burst of water mist erupted from the sea, followed by countless ice cones hurtling towards Chairman Xuanshen!
Chairman Xuanshen sneered and waved his hand, conjuring a shield in front of him.
Pang! Pang! The explosions continued incessantly. Chairman Xuanshen's shield was incredibly sturdy, not even showing a tremor!
Just then, Qin Han Chu emerged with the ice cones, his broken sword aimed at Chairman Xuanshen.
Chairman Xuanshen remained suspended in the void, looking down at Qin Han Chu with contempt. "Overestimating yourself. Do you really think you can kill me?"
In an instant, Qin Han Chu was before Chairman Xuanshen.
At that very moment, Qin Han Chu's broken sword suddenly erupted with terrifying multicolored light.
The Tyrant Dragon Slash collided with the shield!
In that instant, Chairman Xuanshen's scornful gaze turned to shock.
He could feel that Qin Han Chu's sword now possessed the power of a Xuanshen!
Boom!
Before Chairman Xuanshen could react, his shield was shattered!
Following that, Qin Han Chu's broken sword struck Chairman Xuanshen's body.
Fortunately, Chairman Xuanshen possessed a top-grade Xuan artifact for protection, which blocked fifty percent of Qin Han Chu's power!
The remaining fifty percent, while severely wounding Chairman Xuanshen, failed to kill him!
Qin Han Chu's attacks were like a raging storm, giving Chairman Xuanshen no chance to react.
Boom boom!
Qin Han Chu's broken sword continuously bombarded Chairman Xuanshen, shattering his shield before it could be fully activated.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong?"
"Quick, go support Chairman Henry!"
Qin Han Chu's battle with Chairman Henry had been within Emperor Long Qi's sensory range.
Upon sensing Chairman Henry being suppressed, he urgently dispatched reinforcements.
Chairman Henry tried to escape, but Qin Han Chu's fierce assault left him powerless to resist or flee.
Had he been at his peak, Qin Han Chu would have found it difficult to kill him.
However, due to his underestimation, he had been severely wounded by Qin Han Chu from the start.
Wounded, he was no longer Qin Han Chu's match.
Under Qin Han Chu's relentless onslaught, his injuries worsened, and his Hunyuan power rapidly depleted.
Qin Han Chu grew stronger with each battle, while Chairman Henry grew weaker and weaker.
"Hunyuan Dharma Body!"
"Kill!"
Sensing the arrival of reinforcements, Qin Han Chu immediately activated his Hunyuan Dharma Body.
A broken sword, forged from Hunyuan power, fiercely struck Chairman Henry.
Chairman Henry's shield shattered instantly, and the terrifying force blasted his body apart.
As Chairman Henry's Nascent Soul emerged, it felt a crushing force.
Amidst its screams, his Xuan Nascent Soul also dissolved into specks of light.
Following that, a terrifying and profound power surged into Qin Han Chu's body.
Qin Han Chu dispelled his Hunyuan Dharma Body, suppressing his excitement. "I'll be back!"
As his voice faded, a teleportation array appeared behind Qin Han Chu.
The arriving Chairman, who had come to reinforce, watched as Qin Han Chu stepped into the teleportation array, which then vanished.
This upcoming seclusion was to break through to the Xuanshen realm.
To ensure his safety, he decided to retreat in the ancient ruins' underground palace.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that he had arrived too late, the Xuanshen Chairman let out an angry roar.
At the same time, Emperor Long Qi sensed Chairman Henry's disappearance.
He couldn't believe his senses.
In such a short time, how could Chairman Henry cease to exist?
Even a Xuanshen realm expert couldn't have killed Chairman Henry so quickly.
In a battle with a Xuanshen realm expert, Chairman Henry would never have been careless, nor would he have only used fifty percent of his power to defend.
It was precisely his underestimation that gave Qin Han Chu the opportunity to heavily wound him.
Of course, this was also Qin Han Chu's strategy.
During his escape, he had been concealing his strength.
As he was in shock, he sensed that Qin Han Chu's aura had also disappeared.
Could it be that the reinforcing Chairman had killed Qin Han Chu?
A moment later, the Xuanshen Chairman who had gone to support returned before Emperor Long Qi.
"Did you kill him?" Emperor Long Qi asked.
The Xuanshen Chairman shook his head with a grim expression. "When I arrived, that person had already activated his portable teleportation array and left this world."
"What is his true strength, and how could he have killed Chairman Henry?" Emperor Long Qi questioned.
"He should be in the Xuansheng realm, but his combat power rivals that of the Xuanshen realm."
"The main reason Chairman Henry died so quickly was his underestimation and severe injuries."
Learning that Qin Han Chu had merely escaped made Emperor Long Qi even angrier.
Facing the nine ancient clans, their Xuanshen realm experts were already insufficient, and now they had lost another general.
Despite his anger, Emperor Long Qi still issued the order to retreat.
They had intended to harass the nine ancient clans, but unexpectedly lost a Xuanshen expert.
During the retreat, Emperor Long Qi remained lost in thought.
How could a Xuansheng possess Xuanshen-level combat power?
They were all people who possessed Hunyuan power, so there shouldn't be such a large power gap.
Even with powerful Hunyuan martial skills, he shouldn't be this strong.
Emperor Long Qi, who was flying, suddenly stopped. A possibility occurred to him.
"Your Majesty, what is it?" Seeing Emperor Long Qi stop, a nearby Chairman asked.
"Could he be the Chosen One of the Divine Continent Great World?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes showed astonishment!
"Highly possible. In the last battle, he was only at the Xuan King realm!"
"Only the Chosen One can advance two realms in such a short period!"
Emperor Long Qi said solemnly, "We can't wait any longer. After returning, we must immediately contact the Gandor Empire. Together, our two nations' powerhouses will annihilate the nine ancient clans!"
...
In the palace of the ruins, Qin Han Chu had already begun his seclusion.
A Xiang sensed Qin Han Chu's arrival and walked in.
Seeing Qin Han Chu cultivating, she turned and left.
The profound power obtained from killing a Xuanshen was incredibly potent.
Qin Han Chu secluded himself for a full three months before opening his eyes.
After these three months of seclusion, he had reached the Xuanshen realm.
"Reached Xuanshen?"
A Xiang would enter periodically to check on Qin Han Chu.
A few days prior, she had witnessed Qin Han Chu's breakthrough, so she knew he would emerge soon and had been waiting here.
Seeing Qin Han Chu awaken, she stepped forward and asked.
Qin Han Chu nodded. "Yes, I need to return to the Divine Continent Great World to take a look."
"From the frontline world?" A Xiang inquired.
Qin Han Chu nodded. "Yes, I didn't leave any array channels in the Divine Continent Great World, so I have to go back through the frontline world."
Led by A Xiang, Qin Han Chu arrived at the frontline world.
The Lord of the Ruins was a master of formations. Under his arrangement, the valley where A Xiang and the others resided was protected by arrays.
Unless it was a Xuan Zun realm expert or above, it would be difficult to see through the array's concealment.
After a brief greeting to everyone, Qin Han Chu hurried towards the Divine Continent Great World.
