Chapter 349: Shui Qingrou Is in Trouble
"What’s there to be afraid of? Yes, what is he afraid of?"
In the mind of the Old Celestial God, these questions churned, and then he suddenly shivered.
Who cares what he’s afraid of!
Even Shui Qinghan was scared, so there must be danger, danger that Shui Qinghan couldn’t withstand—how could he bear it?
"Escape!!"
This clear-minded Old Celestial God instantly made a decision, fleeing towards the distance.
But how could Qin Chuan let him escape?
He deliberately let Shui Qinghan go because Qing Han once seemed very formidable, and when this old guy’s strength recovers somewhat, he can continue exploiting him for sustainable development.
This Old Celestial God does not seem like any big figure, likely won’t improve much after some time.
Moreover, this old thing’s greatest desire is to kill him and not Qin Zi, which presents a potential risk.
He naturally wants to nip the risk in the bud!
"You came, stay!"
Qin Chuan snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and suddenly, a huge golden net flew out, covering the Celestial Vault.
"Wide is the net of heaven, none can escape its reach!"
This is a very powerful Celestial God-level artifact that Qin Chuan, upon breaking through to the Divine Realm, can now unleash its true power.
"Break for me!!"
The Old Celestial God roared angrily, his body bursting with endless light, like Mars crashing into Earth, colliding with the giant golden net.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion of firelight illuminated the sky like a solar flare, with heat waves roiling.
But evidently,
it couldn’t be broken.
As the light dissipated, the Old Celestial God appeared like a fish caught in a net, stuck and unable to move.
"Let me go!!"
He let out a crazed roar, his body still blazing brightly like a burning flame.
"Bang!"
The huge Golden Gongs flew out again, squeezing from top to bottom, sealing the Old Celestial God inside.
"No, no, no!!"
The Old Celestial God cried out in terror and despair, and then Qin Chuan took out the Thunder God Hammer, raised it high, and slammed it down.
"Bang—"
The Golden Gongs shook violently, their surface seemingly rippling with countless wave lines, as shocks spread out.
A thousand miles of sky shattered again, space debris twisted into particles by the shockwaves.
Then the Golden Gongs opened.
The Old Celestial God stood there, swaying like a roly-poly figure, so quickly that his body appeared to have countless afterimages.
"Ahhh!"
He let out a heart-wrenching scream, then suddenly cracks appeared on his surface, light bursting out from the cracks, and his body shattered, revealing the golden Primordial Spirit within.
And that golden Primordial Spirit was also covered in cracks, exploding amidst screams, turning into a shower of light.
A Celestial God vanishes into smoke and clouds.
Qin Chuan slowly put away the Golden Gongs and the net, holding the Thunder God Hammer, he looked around and said calmly, "Anyone else wants to make a move?"
Whoosh!
The surroundings fell silent.
Those who had been watching the battle had already retreated tens of thousands of miles away, and some fled completely, not daring to continue watching.
At this moment, as Qin Chuan’s gaze swept over them, even from miles away, they felt chills in their hearts.
They could only bow their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Hiss, a Celestial God was annihilated!"
"This Demon King Qin is terrifying; as a creature of this era, he can keep pace with the revival of the cosmos!"
"Ancient powerhouses are restoring their original power, but he has broken through from nothing to being—it’s too fierce."
"Could it be, he plans to block the passage of time, suppressing an ancient powerhouse every time one emerges?"
"Unlikely, that’s too against heaven’s will..."
The awe towards Qin Chuan spread like a virus among the spectators.
It’s imaginable.
After this incident, Qin Chuan’s reputation would thoroughly intimidate this rapidly awakening mysterious realm.
No matter how dominant the newly revived ancient powerhouses are, they cannot ignore Qin Chuan—unless someone can defeat him.
"Everyone disperse, don’t bother me without reason."
Qin Chuan waved casually.
Suddenly, everyone felt relieved, hastily leaving.
Qin Chuan stood where he was, assessing the situation.
His gains this time were decent; not only did he harvest a lot of ancestral value, but he also broke through to the Divine Realm.
And his ancestral value, after converting to Divine Bridge currency, had a balance of 50 points.
It doesn’t seem like much, but its purchasing power is actually very strong, equivalent to five hundred thousand points previously!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
At this moment, Qin Chuan’s Communication Jade Talisman started vibrating again. He took it out, glanced at it, and furrowed his brows.
"Father, what’s wrong?"
Qin Zi asked in confusion.
"Shui Qinghan sent a message saying something has happened to Shui Qingrou," Qin Chuan said gravely.
"What?!"
Qin Zi instantly panicked and asked, "What exactly happened? What should we do now?"
He couldn’t help but panic; not only is Shui Qingrou his beloved, but her constitution is remarkable and bound to achieve greatness in the future.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk when we get there."
Without giving further explanation, Qin Chuan swept Qin Zi up with a surge of energy and flew towards the distance.
Swoosh!
His speed was incredible; the stars seemed to shift in an instant, and time itself almost seemed to warp.
Not long after.
The two arrived at a towering ice mountain. The ice mountain was blue, glowing faintly.
"You’ve finally arrived."
A figure hurriedly greeted them; it was Shui Qinghan, and he had apparently already broken through to the Celestial Palace realm.
The Celestial Eternal Race has indeed distinguished themselves, but even now, a Celestial Palace realm wouldn’t stir much turmoil in the Nine Heavens Realm.
"What on earth is going on?"
Qin Chuan asked solemnly.
"I received a distress signal from Qingrou a short while ago, then used some means to find this place. She should be in the ice cave ahead, but the ice door is too strong for me to open at the moment."
Shui Qinghan said in a serious tone.
Qin Chuan looked forward and saw a ten-foot tall ice door standing magnificently at the center of the mountain peak.
"Buzz!"
Qin Chuan raised his right hand, and circles of golden light appeared, resembling gears, large and small, interlocking, forming a stunning pattern that filled the surrounding space.
"Break!"
Finally, he punched out, channeling all the light circles into that punch, releasing an astonishing force.
"Boom—"
The extremely solid ice door emitted a loud noise and then exploded into pieces.
Instantly, a massive wave of white, icy cold air swept out.
This frigid air was frighteningly powerful, seemingly capable of freezing the space itself, making Qin Zi and Shui Qinghan shudder!
With a stomp of his right foot, Qin Chuan radiated scorching golden light all around him, like an eternal Divine Furnace, evaporating the cold air.
"Let’s go."
Qin Chuan led the way boldly, unafraid of any danger.
Entering the ice door, the scene opened up into a spacious view.
Inside was an ice-blue lake filled with Cold Spring water, crystal clear and bone-chilling.
And at the center of the lake was a small snow island, just about ten meters around.
On the island grew a gigantic peach tree, coiled like a serpent on the island, with a sturdy trunk covered in moss, and branches adorned with pink blossoms, overshadowing the entire island.
Even its roots extended from the edges of the island, firmly plunging into the lake.
Above the island, there seemed to be a celestial window, through which a pillar of milky white light scattered down, enveloping the island in a dreamlike and colorful manner.
"There it is!"
Qin Zi exclaimed in surprise.
Beneath the peach tree’s shade lay an elegant woman in a white gauze dress—it was Shui Qingrou.
He wanted to fly over.
But was stopped by a hand.
"Father, what’s up?"
Qin Zi looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.
"Look below."
Qin Chuan said calmly.
Qin Zi looked down and saw bubbles rising from the ice-blue lake, with a faint and massive shadow slowly swimming up from the water’s depths.
"What is that!"
Qin Zi took several steps back, while Shui Qinghan braced himself for defense.
"Crash—"
The next moment, a large volume of lake water surged up, falling down like rain.
A colossal entity, resembling both a snake and a dragon, emerged, with just the part above the water already towering as high as a dozen floors.
"Who dares trespass in the domain where the deity sleeps?"
The entity thundered in a voice filled with authority, resonating like rolling thunder.
