Chapter 2424 Arriving Here for the First Battle, Qin Buqi
A sea of blood pressed down, and mummified corpses pounced.
The universe was a dark red, a veritable hell on earth.
Faced with the crisis, Chen Qingyuan did not stop moving forward for a moment.
Just as the overwhelming power was about to descend, a chaotic abyss resembling an evil eye appeared beneath Chen Qingyuan. He released his concealment technique and fully unleashed the power of his Reincarnation Dao Body.
The Evil Eye Abyss devours all laws.
Rumble, rumble!
The churning, surging sea of blood froze in the void for a moment. Then, the Evil Eye Abyss unleashed an incomparably terrifying destructive power, clearing away everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles around Chen Qingyuan.
Whether it was a sea of blood or a mummified corpse filled with deep resentment, it all vanished into nothingness.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Having easily resolved this minor trouble, Chen Qingyuan remained unfazed, not even blinking, as if nothing had happened. He locked onto the Demon Lord's location and walked straight towards him, his steps steady and powerful, stirring up numerous vortexes of rules.
Seeing how easily Chen Qingyuan had resolved the problem, the Demon Lord's gaze changed. Especially when he looked at the Evil Eye Abyss beneath him, it seemed to connect to the Nine Nether Hells, as if it wanted to devour the Demon Lord and send him to the cruelest place of punishment in the world.
These were terrifying rules, and the Demon Lord dared not underestimate them, regarding Chen Qingyuan as a formidable rival.
It is obvious that Chen Qingyuan is not a fool who seeks his own death, but a formidable enemy who came with some kind of intention.
"This...this is so powerful!"
The skeleton in the distance thought that even if Chen Qingyuan could withstand the overwhelming force of the sea of blood, he would still have to show some real skill. However, the reality was far beyond his expectations. Chen Qingyuan withstood the Demon Lord's pressure calmly and without any pressure.
"What it is?"
The skeleton accepted the fact that Chen Qingyuan was powerful, then stared at the faintly visible Evil Eye Xuan Yuan, its soul trembling slightly, as if it were looking at a very strange and terrifying beast. If it were to be taken as prey, it would most likely become food.
Such a strong sense of crisis made Gongsun Rong break out in a cold sweat. He quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere, not daring to delve too deeply into the Xuanyuan Abyss, for fear of provoking a terrible disaster.
"This guy is indeed quite capable. Luckily, I kept my composure and didn't get into a conflict with him."
Recalling his previous conversation with Chen Qingyuan, Gongsun Rong felt somewhat fortunate. If he had tried to test the waters back then for the sake of saving face, things might have ended badly.
Based solely on Chen Qingyuan's display of skill, Gongsun Rong realized he was no match. If he were facing pressure from the Demon Lord, although he wouldn't be injured, he would definitely have to use some of his trump cards, and it would certainly not be easy for him.
A blood-red Dao diagram, the Demon Lord stands proudly.
He looked at Chen Qingyuan, who was closing in step by step, his expression calm and fearless. Indeed, at this moment, he didn't know what he was about to face.
In his eyes, Chen Qingyuan was not a peerless being who could dominate the ages; at most, his realm was on par with his own, so there was no need to worry about him.
Little did they know that their levels of understanding were completely different.
The opponent he faced was not a top expert with one foot in the Emperor's Path, nor an ancient supreme being who had lived for countless years, nor even a Great Emperor.
Quasi-Emperor!
The Ninth Step of the Divine Bridge: The Pinnacle!
This is Chen Qingyuan's true cultivation level, not a disguise using a secret technique.
"Why are you here?"
The Demon Lord's attire was bizarre, his body covered in skulls and bound by dozens of heavy, peculiar chains. Every time he spoke, it was with extraordinary difficulty, his pronunciation slow and unusually hoarse.
"I will fight you."
Chen Qingyuan expressed his purpose in a detached tone.
The Demon Lord asked again, "Why?"
Chen Qingyuan replied, "Enlightenment."
Their eyes met, and tension was palpable.
Knowing Chen Qingyuan's intentions, the Demon Lord remained expressionless and continued, "If you lose, you will die."
Chen Qingyuan said calmly, "It's alright."
He paused, then said, "If you lose, you'll die too."
The moment their eyes met, it was clear that this battle would not end in a draw.
The Demon Lord traveled to the Divine Continent in search of immortality. Any obstacles encountered along the way will be eliminated with all his might. Enemies of similar strength will be seen as opportunities, perhaps allowing him to seize a sliver of a chance to take another small step forward and formally enter the pinnacle realm.
Chen Qingyuan has painstakingly honed his Reincarnation Body, and it has reached a crucial moment. Today, he has found a suitable opponent. At first, he may slowly temper his body, but later, with his blood boiling, he will naturally use all his skills and spare no effort.
The combatants are evenly matched, and whoever becomes complacent is highly likely to be defeated.
Chen Qingyuan will definitely take this battle seriously.
"your name."
Before the fight, the Demon Lord wanted to know his opponent's name. From just that one probing move, he had already acknowledged Chen Qingyuan's strength and that he deserved to be remembered.
Chen Qingyuan said, "Chen Qingyuan, what about you?"
The Demon Lord maintained a cold expression, as if all emotions and desires had been stripped away, and slowly replied, "Qin Buqi."
Qin Buqi!
Chen Qingyuan memorized that name.
When he reached the summit in the future, Qin Buqi must have contributed to it.
Chen Qingyuan, dressed in white, looked like a banished immortal descending to earth.
Qin Buqi wore a tattered gray cloth robe, yet he exuded extraordinary domineering power. His demonic might was like a prison, and anyone who glanced at him would surely lose their composure and be filled with extreme fear.
"Get out."
In terms of physique, Qin Buqi was half a head taller than Chen Qingyuan. He was probably not of pure human blood, but rather from another race.
"If I strike first, you will probably be powerless to retaliate."
Chen Qingyuan spoke calmly, as if stating a fact.
Madness!
Upon hearing this, Qin Buqi was naturally displeased. The other party's attitude was extremely arrogant; he should be sent to the deepest hell.
Qin Buqi stopped speaking and instead gathered his strength, looking for the best time to make his move.
After a few breaths, they were unable to find any flaws in Chen Qingyuan.
Even if you can't find a flaw, you still have to take action.
Delaying time is not Qin Buqi's style.
Ding Dong!
Suddenly, Qin Buqi's calloused right hand moved, quickly grabbing a thick chain beside him and using it as a whip, then swung it at Chen Qingyuan.
He forcefully swung the chain, splitting the realm in two.
The chain extended indefinitely, reaching all the way to Chen Qingyuan's face.
Chen Qingyuan remained calm and composed, seized the opportunity, raised his right hand, and grabbed the rule chain that was coming down.
The instant I grasped the chain, I felt a wave of heat surge from my palm and engulf my entire body.
The chains were no ordinary objects; they unleashed an extremely ferocious power, instantly corroding a portion of the flesh in Chen Qingyuan's palm, and several strands of law took advantage of the situation to spread towards his physical body.
"opinionated."
Seeing that Chen Qingyuan actually dared to withstand his attack with his bare body, a hint of contempt appeared in Qin Buqi's eyes.
