Chapter 685, Powerful Strength

Translator: Silavin

 

Qin Yichen stood there, with black energy swirling around his arms, his entire body filled with a violent evil energy. From afar, he looked like a Demonic God who had emerged from the Demon Realm, striking fear into people’s hearts.

 

*Roar!*

 

Although Qin Yichen was already trying his utmost to control his emotions, he still could not help but let out an explosive roar. Then, raising both fists, he directly smashed them into the ground.

 

*Boom!*

 

Both fists struck down, hammering into the ground. The earth immediately caved in, and deep cracks spread in all directions like a spider’s web.

 

Perhaps Qin Yichen himself had yet to realise it, but this was definitely no longer the power of a Martial King!

 

These two punches of his were something even ordinary Martial Emperors probably would not be able to withstand. If they struck, it might not result in death, but severe injury certainly would happen.

 

One could see just how greatly these arm guards amplified Qin Yichen’s strength!

 

Moreover, these arm guards still had the enhancement of the black energy, which added a corrosive property to them.

 

Furthermore, this was merely a part of Master Lu Ban’s Myriad Dao Divine Armour. If it were a complete set of Myriad Dao Divine Armour…

 

Thinking of the scene of Master Lu Ban slaughtering in all directions, it was not difficult to imagine just how formidable the Myriad Dao Divine Armour was.

 

*Crack!*

 

Perhaps because this patch of ground had been corroded by black energy for a long time, under Qin Yichen’s two punches, the ground actually began to collapse.

 

From beneath the earth, an extremely pure energy, as if it had found an outlet, gushed forth like a fountain.

 

[Not good!] Although violent emotions were affecting Qin Yichen, his consciousness remained. Immediately, he stamped his foot and prepared to leave this place.

 

Just as he was about to turn and go, he discovered a bright light bursting forth from beneath the ground. He reached out and caught that ray of light in his hand, then without looking back, charged towards the perimeter.

 

*Boom!*

 

Half a second after he left, at the place where he had been, pure energy burst forth, instantly dispersing the surrounding black energy.

 

This patch of land, as if it had been cleansed, slowly became bright and full of vitality.

 

Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to look at that scene, his heart was filled with lingering fear.

 

If he had remained motionless there just now, at this moment, he would probably be like that black energy, erased with not even dregs remaining.

 

[Such pure energy. Could there be a Spirit Vein underground?]

 

However, upon sensing that pure energy, Qin Yichen was shocked again.

 

Spirit Veins were formed by the condensation of the most pure and refined energy between Heaven and Earth. They were full of vitality, nourishing all things.

 

Legend had it that all things began from Spirit Veins.

 

This saying was not without reason.

 

Therefore, this most pure and refined energy had another name: Source Energy of All Things.

 

[So Master Lu Ban had placed the arm guards here to use the Source Energy of All Things to cleanse the black energy from the arm guards…] Qin Yichen instantly understood Master Lu Ban’s intention.

 

This black energy was something even Master Lu Ban had no way to remove. Only the Source Energy of All Things could purify it.

 

[Then, it was very likely that Master Lu Ban had also placed the other parts of the Myriad Dao Divine Armour at other Spirit Veins.] Thinking this, Qin Yichen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

 

Spirit Veins were extremely rare. A single region could at most give birth to one Spirit Vein. Like this region of the Six Imperial Dynasties, there was probably only this one Spirit Vein!

 

Therefore, even with this clue, finding the other parts of the Myriad Dao Divine Armour would still be as difficult as ascending to Heaven.

 

The key lay in the Spirit Veins.

 

Because of the rarity of Spirit Veins, each one was occupied by a Major Force, or even a great race.

 

And here, if not for that Mo Clan Ancestor, who was the Sect Master of the Lu Ban Sect prior to him, having set up a Grand Array to shield everything, the aftermath would have been far more explosive.

 

But now, it seemed this Spirit Vein was ruined.

 

Forming a Spirit Vein was difficult, and it required years upon years of accumulation to form a Spirit Vein!

 

However, destroying a Spirit Vein was very easy.

 

Like now, this Spirit Vein was done for.

 

Therefore, the Force or race that occupied Spirit Veins all protected them very well.

 

[Strange, why did this…] Suddenly, Qin Yichen only then thought about how those two punches of his could have had such great power, causing the entire ground to cave in from the bombardment.

 

Only then did his attention turn to the arm guards on his arms.

 

[Could it be…] His heart jumped in shock. With just a slight clench of his fist, he felt a powerful force he had never experienced before brewing within. [Damn! So strong! It enhances my strength to such a terrifying degree!! That punch was on par with a Martial Emperor!]

 

[If I broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm, wouldn’t it be even more frightening!? But what a pity…]

 

Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, looking at the scene before him, Qin Yichen sighed again.

 

At that time, he failed to control those violent emotions erupting within him.

 

However, although the Spirit Vein was destroyed, it had purified the black energy in this space. This place was no longer a dangerous ground, but a treasured land!

 

One must know that even where the Feng Family was located was already considered a treasured land, but the degree of energy concentration probably wasn’t even one-tenth of this place.

 

In other words, if one cultivated in this space, the speed of cultivation would be ten times that of the Feng Family’s treasured land!

 

This was the importance of Spirit Veins!

 

After all, those Forces and races that occupied Spirit Veins, over the years, had cultivated how many experts?

 

This was also why Qin Yichen had always maintained a humble mindset.

 

Although it appeared that he now far surpassed those geniuses of the Imperial Dynasties, compared to the young talents cultivated by those Forces, there was still a vast difference.

 

As he was sighing with emotion, as the patterns on the Master Craftsman’s Hammer dimmed, the pair of arm guards on his hands also sank into his arms.

 

[Huh?] Qin Yichen was slightly startled, but under his Spiritual Energy observation, he discovered that the Myriad Dao Divine Armour arm guards were now attached to the bones of his arms.

 

*Hum!* As his Spiritual Energy penetrated into the arm guards, the patterns immediately lit up and appeared again. A violent emotion once again filled Qin Yichen’s being.

 

It was not until he withdrew his Spiritual Energy did the arm guards once again disappear.

 

[So that’s how it is.]

 

This pair of arm guards brought a huge leap to his strength. The only issue was that the arm guards had been corroded by black energy for too long. When using them, it inevitably affected his emotions. That violent state would make him very bloodthirsty. If he could not guard his own mind, he might sink into becoming a killing machine.

 

This was something he had to pay attention to.

 

[Eh, what is this?!] Opening his palm, only then did Qin Yichen notice what was in his hand.

 

He remembered that at the time, this thing had burst forth from the Spirit Vein, and he had instinctively grabbed it.

 

And it was something Qin Yichen was not unfamiliar with.
