Chapter 239 Overwhelming Force, the Power of Nine Suns Across the Sky (5K)

"His strength has increased!"

Pang Hao, who had secretly arrived in the Great Qian Dynasty, looked at Su Chen, who was displaying extraordinary skills, from afar, his face filled with surprise.

Unexpectedly, in just half a month, Su Chen had already reached the minor completion stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Even when he faced Su Chen directly, he was not absolutely certain that he could defeat him with just his Yuan Power.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Duan Hao.

Duan Hao's strength was almost the same as his, both being at the perfected Yuan Shen realm. However, Duan Hao was slightly inferior to him in his understanding of the power of Yuan energy.

Of course, this is relative.

Compared to Su Chen's Yuan Power, Duan Hao was clearly superior.

Su Chen's Yuan Power was only at the minor stage of mastery, while Duan Hao's Yuan Power had already reached perfection.

Given such a disparity, he didn't believe Su Chen could defeat Duan Hao.

"I will appear to uphold justice after Duan Hao kills Su Chen."

He wanted to preserve the legacy, and he also wanted fame; this was Pang Hao's idea.

Even if Duan Hao doesn't kill Su Chen outright, he will secretly kill Su Chen who dares to defy him.

He can then kill Duan Hao, which will not only allow him to find out Zhu Yan's whereabouts but also eliminate Su Chen and enhance his own reputation.

Three birds with one stone.

Rumble.

A fierce battle was raging ahead, with the two clashing intensely, but the outcome was somewhat unexpected for Pang Hao.

The expected scene of Duan Hao crushing Su Chen did not occur. Instead, Su Chen crushed Duan Hao with an extremely domineering attitude.

Seeing this, Pang Hao was somewhat incredulous.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought Duan Hao was joking with him.

How could a perfected Yuan Power force be suppressed by a lesser Yuan Power force?

But soon, Pang Hao noticed something was wrong.

"How...how can Su Chen possess so many different types of elemental power?"

Ten, twenty... a hundred different kinds of Yuan Power spread out, filling half the sky. Just one glance was enough to make his heart tremble.

Under the overwhelming pressure of such overwhelming Yuan Power, even if Duan Hao were to take action, he would be utterly defeated.

It’s so scary!

However, something even more terrifying appeared before Duan Hao: the hundred kinds of Yuan Power were not Su Chen's limit at all, but just the beginning!
One hundred kinds, five hundred kinds... a thousand kinds of Yuan Power surged through the heavens and earth like pillars supporting the sky, completely occupying Pang Hao's entire field of vision.

This terrified him.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." He was so shocked by Su Chen's power that he muttered to himself in a loss of composure.

His shock was so great that Duan Hao, who was imprisoned in a cage of a thousand kinds of elemental forces, was even more speechless with astonishment.

His entire being radiated immense terror.

His Yuan Power was strong, but not strong enough to withstand the power of a thousand Lesser Completion Yuan Powers!
"Su Chen, stop!"

Feeling threatened with death, Duan Hao no longer hesitated and shouted that he did not want to die.

"I am a disciple of the Eight Desolations Palace, you cannot kill me."

Using almost all his strength, Duan Hao shouted out his loudest voice and quickly finished speaking, revealing his origins.

The words "disciple of the Eight Desolations Hall" might make other disciples of the Purple Sun Sect wary.

But for Su Chen, there was no difference between him and the disciples of Shangyuan Palace; what greeted him was an overwhelming surge of Yuan energy.

"No!"

The power of the Yuan force converged into a vast ocean, instantly engulfing Duan Hao's figure and voice without causing the slightest ripple.

"died?"

Emperor Qian below scanned all directions but did not see Duan Hao at all, and was taken aback.

Duan Hao, who was powerful enough to crush the entire Daqian Dynasty, was utterly crushed by Su Chen.
He looked at the figure suspended in mid-air, his heart skipped a beat, and then, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly said, "Quickly, go and release Li Mo."

At this moment, Su Chen had no time to worry about Emperor Qian; his gaze turned to another direction.

During his fight with Duan Hao, he noticed a familiar figure lurking in the shadows.

"He spotted me!" Pang Hao, who was amazed by Su Chen's methods, came back to his senses and quickly noticed Su Chen's gaze.

The moment Su Chen set his sights on him, he felt the flow of his internal energy slow down considerably, as if his body was locked in place.

"Even Duan Hao isn't his match, so I might not be his match either!" Pang Hao thought to himself, unwilling to confront Su Chen head-on.

Without further hesitation, it transformed into a streak of red light, attempting to escape.

But just then, a series of whooshing sounds came from behind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sharp arrow of Yuan energy pierce through the void and hurtle toward him with a roar.

With just one glance, he felt a sense of dread, because this arrow of Yuan energy actually carried the power of hundreds or even thousands of different Yuan energies.

He couldn't imagine, not that he couldn't imagine Su Chen could use so many different kinds of Yuan Power, but that Su Chen could condense so many kinds of Yuan Power into a Yuan Power arrow in a near-perfect form!
"The power of nine suns soaring across the sky!"

Faced with such a fierce attack, Pang Hao had no choice but to use his strongest move. As his Yuan Power surged, nine enormous Yuan Power suns quickly condensed behind him. The nine Yuan Power suns rose slowly, radiating endless light and heat.

Like a real sun, the nine suns stretch across the sky, radiating a dazzling light that is impossible for anything in the world to look directly at.

Once it appears, it drains all the Yuan energy within a radius of a thousand meters, and everything withers away as if it were in a furnace.

Such a powerful move caused Pang Hao's face to turn pale.

He gritted his teeth, manipulating the nine primordial suns, stacking them one after another, and sweeping forward.

boom!
In an instant, the two great forces collided violently, causing the surrounding spacetime to tilt and almost distort.

Immediately, a tremendous, earth-shattering sound resounded, its sonic waves surging like a tide, unleashing invisible sonic assaults that shook the very sides.

Even under such a collision, Su Chen's figure did not move an inch, his gaze fixed on the point where the forces of Yuan Qi converged.

Despite the weakening effect of the Yuan Power Arrow under such a devastating impact, it still shone brightly.

The perfect Nine Suns soaring through the sky could no longer withstand the relentless penetration of the Yuan Power Arrow, shattering like bubbles and disappearing into the void.

Along with the force of the Nine Suns soaring into the sky, Pang Hao's figure was also annihilated.

The arrow of Yuan Power shot out with unstoppable momentum, but Pang Hao was nowhere to be seen. In the end, it transformed into a beam of light and shot into the sky.

Pang Hao had already taken advantage of the clash between the two elemental forces to escape.

Su Chen stood suspended in mid-air, frowning as he gazed into the distance. Even he hadn't expected Pang Hao to be so decisive, running away so quickly.

It's too late to catch up now.

Feeling a little regretful, Su Chen quickly shifted his attention to Duan Hao.

After looting Duan Hao's belongings, Su Chen returned to the Great Qian Imperial Palace.

"Little junior brother."

Emperor Qian sent someone to bring Li Mo here. Although he was imprisoned, Li Mo was in good condition and showed no signs of being wronged.

Upon seeing Su Chen again, Li Mo laughed and took the initiative to greet him.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

Li Mo shook his head: "What could possibly happen to me? It was my senior brother who almost got you into trouble."

Although he didn't handle the matter himself, it gave Duan Hao an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If something really happens to Su Chen, I'm afraid he'll never forgive himself.

"There's no need to bring this up again," Su Chen said, stopping Li Mo from blaming himself.

He then changed the subject and asked, "I received news that the Great Zhou has sent troops to attack the Great Qian. Is this true?"

"This message was written by the man in white and sent to you by himself," Emperor Qian replied.

Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Li Mo couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Su Chen already had an idea in mind.

As a disciple of the Eight Desolations Palace, Duan Hao was unlikely to know about his grudges with the Great Zhou Dynasty, yet now the other party had actually used this information to call him back.

Based on what had just happened, Su Chen was certain that this matter was inextricably linked to Pang Hao.

Recalling Pang Hao's actions, Su Chen felt a surge of killing intent.

"Let's go, let's talk after we go in."

After a moment, Su Chen calmed down and decided to ignore Pang Hao for the time being.

……

A disheveled figure streaked across the sky; it was Pang Hao.

The long hours of strenuous activity had made his breathing somewhat disordered, and his face had turned pale.

Fortunately, Su Chen didn't chase after him, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. "Damn it!" Thinking of the scene just now, Pang Hao gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

An unnamed rage ignited in his heart. As a prominent figure in the Ziyang Sect, he had never been so humiliated.

They thought they had killed three birds with one stone, but instead of getting any news about Zhu Yan, they almost lost their lives at Su Chen's hands.

Even now, recalling the hundreds and thousands of elemental forces that Su Chen unleashed with a wave of his hand, he still feels lingering fear.

In this encounter, he severely underestimated Su Chen.

Who would have thought that a martial artist who had only reached the Lesser Completion of the Nascent Soul stage could unleash such a powerful force of Yuan energy?

"Throughout the entire Holy Yuan Kingdom, besides Su Chen, only the once-famous Wan Hua Shangren from decades ago has been able to cultivate a thousand different Yuan Power techniques. Could it be that Su Chen has obtained the Wan Hua Shangren's inheritance?"

Some time ago, the news of the appearance of Master Wanhua on Qingyang Mountain caused quite a stir, and he had heard about it.

However, by the time they learned the news, it was too late; Qingyang Mountain was already overcrowded, attracting countless visitors.

Upon receiving the news, Shangyuan Palace dispatched a large number of people, but unfortunately they still could not find any trace of Master Wanhua.

If he remembered correctly, Su Chen was training outside when Wan Hua Shangren appeared.

If Master Wanhua really appears at Qingyang Mountain, then Su Chen is very likely to have obtained Master Wanhua's inheritance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Su Chen, at such a young age and with such strength, could use thousands of different Yuan Power techniques.

"Hehe, Su Chen, I never expected you to have obtained the inheritance of Master Wanhua!"

Pang Hao sneered, already convinced that Su Chen had obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Transformations Master.

Unfortunately, the lineage of Master Wanhua is not so easy to obtain!
He sneered, his dejected demeanor vanishing, and his eyes flashed with a cold light before disappearing into the horizon.

……

After staying in Daqian for three days, Su Chen bid farewell to his relatives and friends, including Hong Ming and Li Mo.

Instead of immediately returning to the Ziyang Sect, he went to Ping'an Town.

Zhu Yan received his skills on a cliff near Ping'an Town, while Cai Xiaoyue and her father also lived in Ping'an Town.

Although he didn't know how Pang Hao and Duan Hao had found out about the inheritance of the Burning Heaven Palace Master, Su Chen still decided to come and see for himself, just to be on the safe side.

In less than half a day, Su Chen arrived at Ping'an Town. After searching the town, he saw Cai Xiaoyue dressed as a village woman.

After discovering that Cai Xiaoyue and her father were unharmed, he left, preparing to return to the Ziyang Sect.

Unexpectedly, on his way back, Su Chen ran into Shang Shuo.

Shang Shuo seemed to be looking for something, and his eyes lit up the moment he saw Su Chen.

In a flash, Shang Shuo appeared in front of Su Chen, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Every time they met, Su Chen gave him a refreshing feeling, especially his strength, which had undergone a tremendous change.

In just one month, Su Chen had already entered the Nascent Soul realm and was able to fly.

However, what surprised him even more was Su Chen's true strength.

Over the past three days, news about Su Chen has been flying everywhere, including the story of how he killed a Nascent Soul Perfection martial artist while only at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Is something the matter?" Su Chen asked when he saw that Shang Shuo remained silent.

After calming down, Shang Shuo nodded and said, "You can't go back to Ziyang Sect now. People from the Eight Desolations Palace are looking for you everywhere."

"The Eight Desolations Palace?" Su Chen was taken aback.

He quickly realized Duan Hao's identity and had a vague guess in his heart, but he still asked, "Why?"

“You killed the disciples of the Eight Desolations Palace,” Shang Shuo replied.

As Su Chen had expected, it was related to Duan Hao, and Shang Shuo's words confirmed that Pang Hao had leaked the information.

"In addition, there's the matter of Master Wanhua." Shang Shuo paused for a few seconds before continuing.

Compared to Duan Hao, the matter of Master Wanhua is the real trouble.

"Master Wan Hua?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Shang Shuo nodded and asked, "Did you receive the inheritance of Master Wanhua?"

Su Chen did not answer, his mind filled with doubt.

If the inheritance of Master Wanhua is the Wanshi Gong, then he has indeed received the inheritance of Master Wanhua.

However, apart from him and Zu Peng, no one else should know about this.

Given Zu Peng's personality, he wouldn't easily tell others about this, so how did Shang Shuo know?

Soon, Shang Shuo's next words broke Su Chen's silence.

He knew that Su Chen had been staying in the Great Qian Dynasty for the past three days and was unaware of what had happened outside.

Shang Shuo said, "The news that you received the inheritance of Master Wanhua has been spread and is now causing a great uproar throughout the entire Shengyuan Kingdom."

Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Shang Shuo became even more certain that Su Chen had obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Transformations Master, and also understood why Su Chen's strength was so great.

Back then, Master Wanhua suppressed all the martial artists in the Shengyuan Kingdom at the power level with the power of 100,000 kinds of Yuan energy, making them unable to raise their heads. He also established a great reputation and did not even put the Shangyuan Palace in his eyes.

This is enough to show that his legacy is extraordinary.

Su Chen received his inheritance. Even if he couldn't comprehend the power of ten thousand yuan, even if he only grasped one-tenth of it, he would still be an outstanding individual.

Even one-tenth of that, with its ten thousand kinds of Yuan Power, is not a threat to Duan Hao, who was at the peak of the Yuan Shen realm.

Shang Shuo continued, "You should know how much the Venerable Wanhua was hated by both gods and men back then."

Even after so much time has passed, there are still many enemies, ranging from various dynasties to numerous sects, too many to count.

Even now, Shangyuan Palace has not lifted its order to kill Master Wanhua.

Now that they know you have inherited the legacy of Master Wanhua, their hatred, accumulated over a hundred years, has been reignited, and they will surely seek revenge against Master Wanhua.

If they can't find Master Wanhua, they'll look for you. Whether you acknowledge it or not, in the eyes of all the major powers, you are his successor.

Then you should naturally repay the grudges and debts that Master Wanhua accumulated back then.

"Once you appear, all the major powers will swarm to you, demanding repayment of their debts."

Shang Shuo spoke very seriously, outlining the advantages and disadvantages.

Although these forces may not retaliate against Su Chen, they will definitely make Su Chen reveal the whereabouts of Master Wanhua and hand over Master Wanhua's inheritance.

Whether it's the former or the latter, it means Su Chen is in danger.

"Who spread this news?" Su Chen asked coldly.

Shang Shuo shook his head: "I don't know."

He looked at the silent Su Chen, his feelings complicated.

Master Wanhua has offended far too many forces, making even his identity as a disciple of the Ziyang Sect seem somewhat insignificant.

"The vice sect leader's idea is for you to go out and hide for a while, remain silent in the ruins for a period of time, and come back after the storm has subsided."

Shang Shuo said in a strange tone, he never expected that this matter would alarm the deputy sect leader.

The fact that they were able to find Su Chen this time was thanks to the information provided by the deputy sect leader, who guided him on the route.

Otherwise, let alone Su Chen, he might not even be able to find out where the Great Qian Dynasty is.

Su Chen remained silent.

Knowing Su Chen's concerns, Shang Shuo added, "The Vice Sect Master has already erased your information from the sect. No one will find you, and no one will be able to trace it back to the Great Qian Dynasty."

Su Chen shook his head.

Someone will make those forces find him.

Even if they can't find him, they will find the Great Qian Dynasty, and even more so, they will find his relatives and friends.

"Actually, the vice sect leader had another message for me: if you don't plan to leave, that's fine too."

This time it was Shang Shuo's turn to be silent. He remained silent for a long time before finally relaying the vice sect leader's words to Su Chen.

"The vice sect leader said that the Ziyang Sect will help you stop martial artists at the Divine Intent Realm or even stronger, but you will have to deal with martial artists below the Divine Intent Realm on your own."

Shang Shuo was astonished when he first heard these words.

They were surprised by both the vice sect leader's protection of Su Chen and his trust in Su Chen's strength.

Even if the Venerable Wanhua were to reappear, he probably wouldn't dare to be so audacious as to say that he could single-handedly block all martial artists below the Divine Intent Realm.

He knew the vice sect leader wanted to hone Su Chen's skills, but what if Su Chen was defeated?
Even if Su Chen is strong, he probably couldn't do that.

This is not a guess, but a judgment based on Su Chen's strength.

After all, he had fought Su Chen many times and had a certain understanding of his strength.

Although Su Chen is strong, he should know that there are always stronger people out there. There is no strongest, only stronger.

After waiting for a long time, Su Chen finally replied: "Okay!"
