As the legacies emerged, chaos broke out across the square.
A legacy appeared beneath Qin Chuan as well, with countless words swirling around him like a phoenix's tail.
Qin Chuan took a quick glance.
It was an ordinary legacy, something completely useless to him. He didn't pay much attention and simply walked away.
As he left, the words that had entwined him dissipated like vines losing their nutrients, quickly withering away.
"Brother Qin, let's get to business," Jade-faced Flower Lord approached and said.
Qin Chuan glanced at Qin Zi nearby and saw that the boy seemed to have obtained something extraordinary. His entire body was glowing so brightly it almost looked like he was about to burst into flames. His face, though eyes closed, showed an expression of excitement.
"Brother Qin, the Heaven-Worshiping Platform has unique rules. Killing is not allowed here, so you don't have to worry about your nephew's safety," Jade-faced Flower Lord reassured him.
"Is that true?" Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Of course," Jade-faced Flower Lord responded without a change in expression.
"Then let's test that."
A gleam flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes as he suddenly raised his right hand, unleashing a powerful palm strike filled with immense divine power.
Boom!
The sky shook violently as if it might crack open, and Qin Chuan's hand rapidly expanded, pushing forward like a mountain.
"Brother Qin, what are you doing?!" Jade-faced Flower Lord appeared flustered, dodging quickly and questioning, "What is the meaning of this?"
Qin Chuan positioned himself protectively in front of Qin Zi, his expression indifferent. "Stop pretending. You're not here to cooperate with me. Your real target is him, isn't it?"
"W-what are you talking about?" Jade-faced Flower Lord let out a nervous laugh, trying to feign ignorance.
"You've been glancing at him repeatedly since we met, and most of your attention has been on him. Did you think I wouldn't notice?" Qin Chuan stated calmly.
Jade-faced Flower Lord froze for a moment before a cold smile slowly appeared on his face. "Heh, as expected of Qin Chuan. I couldn't fool you after all."
"Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it anymore. I, Jade-faced Flower Lord, come from the Qingye Heavenly Sect!"
Swish, swish, swish!
As his words fell, several powerful auras surged from the surroundings, revealing a group of elders closing in. Among them was none other than Master Qingyang!
His long black hair flowed elegantly, exuding confidence, but his eyes brimmed with killing intent, his expression twisted with malice.
Jade-faced Flower Lord looked at Qin Chuan and chuckled, "Qin Chuan, I can tell you must be the reincarnation of some great figure from the Upper Realm. Outside this mountain, I may not have been able to deal with you, but here on the Heaven-Worshiping Platform of Xuanhuang Mountain, anyone who wasn't born with a soul from Xuanhuang Heaven will be suppressed! So today, you have no chance of victory."
"Heh, you've certainly come prepared," Qin Chuan sneered.
In truth, he wanted to laugh inwardly because they had mistaken him for some reincarnated Upper Realm figure, which was something he had fabricated.
A lie, when believed by enough people, begins to become reality.
Jade-faced Flower Lord, unaware of Qin Chuan's internal thoughts, felt confident he had hit Qin Chuan's weakness and smugly said, "Dealing with someone of your stature naturally requires careful preparation. I'm glad you're satisfied."
With that, he waved his hand.
Swish, swish, swish!
Immediately, several elders, including Master Qingyang, lunged at Qin Chuan simultaneously.
"Mopan Fist!"
"Heaven-Splitting Finger!"
"Qingye Sword Technique!"
Deadly techniques surged toward Qin Chuan from all directions, the killing intent rippling through the air, distorting the very heavens.
Although the Heaven-Worshiping Platform suppressed some of the power, the sheer force of the attacks still sent shockwaves through the surroundings, catching the attention of many onlookers.
People's eyes flashed, focusing on the battle.
"One Leaf Covers the Sky!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Qin Chuan sent out a single green leaf, which rapidly expanded in the sky, covering the heavens.
Swish!
The leaf sliced through the sky as if refreshing the very heavens themselves, erasing all the attacks.
"One Leaf Covers the Sky technique?!"
"You actually learned our Qingye Heavenly Sect's One Leaf Covers the Sky technique, and you're using it against us!"
"Unforgivable!!"
The elders' faces turned dark with rage. To them, this was a humiliation, a slap in the face.
Qin Chuan smiled calmly and said, "I didn't steal it. Your ancestor personally passed it on to me. If you don't believe me, you can ask him—of course, assuming he's woken up."
"Hmph, you're quite capable," Jade-faced Flower Lord glared at Qin Chuan coldly. "But it still doesn't change your fate!"
With that, he floated into the air, placing the flute horizontally by his lips. His white robe fluttered, and radiant light enveloped him.
Whoo…
Purple-black sound waves emanated from his flute, twisting and curling like ink dissolving in water. They turned into streams of energy, coiling toward Qin Chuan like a tidal wave.
Though soft and graceful in appearance, the sound waves were as overwhelming as a tsunami, crushing toward Qin Chuan with unstoppable force.
Boom, boom, boom!
The space around them cracked as the sound waves passed.
"Evade!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Qin Chuan sent out a green leaf that covered his body. As the leaf disappeared, so did he, reappearing in the distance.
"You fell for it!!"
Jade-faced Flower Lord's eyes gleamed as the purple-black sound waves, having missed their target, immediately turned and charged toward Qin Zi. The energy waves twisted menacingly like venomous snakes ready to strike.
"Die, brat!"
Jade-faced Flower Lord sneered, his killing intent reaching its peak.
"Huh? What's happening?!"
Qin Zi, who was in the midst of absorbing the legacy, suddenly snapped out of his trance, his face pale as he saw the incoming attack. Panic overtook him.
Ding! Because the Eight-Heaven Titan Jade-faced Flower Lord has shown murderous intent toward your son, following the principle of a father's boundless love and the necessity for the father to win, your cultivation will now increase to the Eight-Heaven Titan realm, and you will be invincible at this level!
The system's voice rang out.
In an instant, Qin Chuan felt power surging through him once again!
Whoosh!
With a flash, he appeared in front of Qin Zi, letting the purple-black sound waves strike his body.
Boom, boom, boom!
The terrifying sound waves crashed into him, only lifting his robe slightly. His body remained entirely unmoved.
"How did your cultivation level…?!"
Jade-faced Flower Lord's pupils shrank as he cried out in disbelief.
Reacting swiftly, he spun the black flute in his hand, gripping it vertically before slicing it downward to his right.
Buzz!
The flute extended instantly, transforming into a two-meter-long bamboo staff, shimmering like a laser sword!
"One Strike to Flatten the Heavens!"
He swung the staff, drawing a mysterious arc in the air. The bamboo staff exploded with a torrent of runes, then quickly retracted, burning brightly like fire as it swung toward Qin Chuan.
Boom!
The strike carried the force of divine wrath, shaking the heavens!
"What do you have to flatten the heavens with?"
Qin Chuan scoffed, his right hand glowing as layers of runes covered it. He reached out directly toward the staff.
Clang!
A deafening clash rang out, sparks flying everywhere. The shockwave of the collision spread out violently, knocking many onlookers back.
Yet that mighty bamboo staff was firmly gripped by Qin Chuan, unable to move an inch further.
"Hmph!"
Jade-faced Flower Lord grunted, twisting the staff as it flared with light. From the flute's original holes, five purple-black giant snakes emerged, their bodies swelling as they opened their gaping jaws, ready to devour Qin Chuan.
