Chapter 289: Mystery

Yan Nantian was not a threat to Qin Jue at all.

At most, he had only turned from being an insignificant ant to a powerless mayfly.

However, Yan Nantian didn’t realize this. If he knew Qin Jue’s inner thoughts at this moment, who knew what he would think?

What Qin Jue was more curious about now was that according to what Nantian Yan had said, if experts above the G.o.d King Stage were unable to enter the Inner Realm, then what realm was he at?

Or perhaps, he was not restricted at all?

…

“I’ll let you witness the strength of a true upper realm True G.o.d Stage expert.”

Yan Nantian’s eyes were like lightning, and his entire body was bathed in purple light. The wings on his back continued to extend, covering the sky and sun.

Not only that, but all kinds of abnormal phenomena appeared in the purple light. Dozens of spirit energy attributes intertwined. It could be said to be a magnificent sight!

As one of the thirty six protectors of the Heavenly Palace, Yan Nantian was rarely matched even among the higher realm experts. If he was in the Outer Realm, Yan Nantian might be afraid of experts of the same realm, but in the Inner Realm, he was an invincible existence!

“The special effects are indeed impressive.”

Qin Jue praised, “I’ll try too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue’s body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light that spread crazily. In a few breaths of time, it had already formed an opposition with the purple light on Yan Nantian’s body. From afar, it looked as if the entire void had been cut into two. One side was purple, and the other side was golden. They were exceptionally gorgeous.

“Do you think that by wasting your spirit energy to release some useless light, you can make up for the difference between the two of us?”

Yan Nantian looked down at Qin Jue and sneered, “Soon, you will know how stupid you are.”

In the next moment, Nantian flicked his finger and a purple light instantly shot towards Qin Jue.

Before it could approach Qin Jue, the purple light split into two, then four, and then into eight. In the blink of an eye, it had already become thousands and thousands of smaller segments of lights that enveloped Qin Jue from different directions, containing an incomparable destructive force.

Qin Jue was expressionless as he slowly raised his arm. All the purple lights were instantly frozen in midair.

“I don’t think you know what’s going on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the purple light immediately swept back and flew towards Yan Nantian in all directions.

“How is this possible?”

Yan Nantian was shocked and hurriedly raised his s.h.i.+eld to resist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless purple lights landed on the s.h.i.+eld like raindrops on a lake, creating layers of ripples. Fortunately, Yan Nantian had not used his full strength. Otherwise, he would have suffered the consequences.

At the same time, Qin Jue took a step forward and directly pa.s.sed through the s.h.i.+eld to arrive in front of Yan Nantian. Since he knew the other party’s strength, there was no need for him to continue probing.

“You…”

Without waiting for Yan Nantian to react, Qin Jue punched out!

Hu!

A violent wind blew past, blowing Yan Nantian’s hair back and making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

For a moment, Nantian felt like he was about to die.

“Mm? Why am I suddenly fine?”

After a long while, Yan Nantian lowered his head, his face full of surprise. Qin Jue’s fist had indeed landed on him, but why didn’t it hurt?

Could it be that from beginning to end, Qin Jue had only been bluffing?

Soon, Yan Nantian realized that something was wrong. My wings? Also, why does he feel so light?

“You… you destroyed my body?”

Yan Nantian finally reacted.

That’s right. Without injuring his soul, Qin Jue directly destroyed Yan Nantian’s body with a single punch.

“How is it? Are you satisfied?”

Qin Jue retracted his fist and asked with a smile.

“…”

“Impossible, this is impossible!”

Yan Nantian seemed to have gone crazy as he shouted hysterically, “Who are you? How could you destroy my body?!”

One had to know that after advancing to the True G.o.d Stage, the body would become an indestructible divine body.

Within the same realm, even if one could defeat the other party, it would not be so easy to destroy the divine body. Something like this couldn’t have happened unless Qin Jue was a G.o.d King Stage expert.

Thinking of this, Nan Tian was stunned. After all, how could Qin Jue be this strong if he wasn’t a G.o.d King Stage expert?

But… How could there be a G.o.d King Stage expert in the Inner Realm?

Could it be that the prophecy was true?

Seeing Yan Nantian fall into a daze, Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath. He directly used the soul searching technique on Yan Nantian.

The reason why he had left behind Nantian Yan’s soul was because he wanted to search his soul. Otherwise, Qin Jue would have just killed him directly.

“Ah!”

Yan Nantian, who was in deep thought, screamed. Then, his head tilted and he lost consciousness.

Ten minutes later, Qin Jue lightly clenched his fist and directly crushed the unconscious Yan Nantian.

At this point, one of the thirty six protectors of the Heavenly Palace in the Outer Realm had been completely destroyed.

“Outer Realm…”

Qin Jue muttered to himself, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng.

Yan Nantian was indeed worthy of being one of the Heavenly Palace’s thirty six protectors. He almost knew the Outer Realm like the back of his hand. All of Qin Jue’s previous doubts were basically resolved now.

The so-called Outer Realm was actually the world outside this void, also known as the G.o.d Realm.

To put it simply, the difference between the Inner Realm and the Outer Realm was like the difference between the mortal world and the immortal world in immortal cultivation novels.

There were more than one dimension like the Inner Realm.

All cultivators would automatically ascend to the G.o.d Realm after advancing to the G.o.d King Stage. This was also the reason why a G.o.d King Stage expert was unable to enter the Inner Realm.

As for the Outer Realm Heavenly Palace, it was an extremely powerful faction in the G.o.d Realm. The master of this realm called himself the “Heavenly Emperor”. Unfortunately, this “Heavenly Emperor” rarely appeared. Even Yan Nantian didn’t know what he looked like, making Qin Jue somewhat disappointed.

However, what was certain was that this “Heavenly Emperor” had definitely reached the G.o.d King Stage. The order to kill the person who awakened the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul was issued by him.

However, what Qin Jue cared about the most was that prophecy.

According to Yan Nantian’s memories, that prophecy was given to the “Heavenly Emperor” by a mysterious expert. This expert told him that once someone awakened the remnant soul in the ruins, the Heavenly Palace would face its end.

The “Heavenly Emperor” seemed to be very familiar with the Inner Realm. He knew that the remnant soul in the ruins referred to the Heavenly Emperor and knew exactly what to do.

However, Qin Jue still didn’t understand how the “Heavenly Emperor” in the Outer Realm knew that he had awakened the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul in the Inner Realm. Moreover, he was able to send out four True G.o.d Stage experts in such a short period of time.

From the looks of it, if he didn’t deal with this “Heavenly Emperor”, the Heavenly Palace would probably continue to send experts to deal with him.

In this way, the Heavenly Palace would very likely be destroyed by Qin Jue because of this, and the main culprit would be that expert who gave the prophecy. It really made people not know whether to laugh or to cry.

After another moment, Qin Jue sorted out his thoughts and turned around to remove the golden light around Long Xiaoyu’s body. He said, “The matter has been settled. You can go back now.”

“Thank you, Senior!”

Long Xiaoyu was incomparably excited.

Originally, she was very worried about Qin Jue, but she didn’t expect that Qin Jue would kill a True G.o.d Stage expert so easily. The battle ended in a few moves.

“Yeah, I still have something to do. Bye.”

After saying this, Qin Jue’s figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost.

Just as he had said just now, if he didn’t deal with the Heavenly Palace, the other party would very likely continue to send experts over. Qin Jue didn’t like to stay at home and wait for others to come knocking on his door, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and solve this mystery.

Since the prophecy claimed that the Heavenly Palace would be destroyed by the person who had awakened the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul, Qin Jue might as well fulfill it.
