Chapter 726, Emerging Prowess

This scream was exceptionally piercing in the night sky. The crowd, whose minds had already been unsettled by the constant beast roars coming from outside, immediately opened their eyes vigilantly upon hearing the scream.

 

Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed slightly, and his gaze followed the direction from which the scream originated. He could see that about ten meters away, a young man at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm was clutching his head on the ground, with painful and shrill screams continuously escaping from his mouth.

 

“Courting his own death. A mere Martial King dares to absorb World Energy during the night in this ancient battlefield. In a little while, when the Evil Energy erodes his mind, he’ll completely lose his rationality.”

 

Just as Qin Yichen was puzzled, Liu Yun seemed to recall something and spoke with light mockery.

 

Hearing this, Long Qingyao’s delicate face changed. The Evil Energy in this place had actually reached such a degree!?

 

As if seeing through Long Qingyao’s shock, Liu Yun adopted a posture of showing off his knowledge and said in a low voice. “Qingyao, fortunately you came to the gathering point with me. Hehe, if you were outside, that kind of Evil Energy would be far more severe than this! *Hmph!* If it weren’t for me speaking up to remind everyone, certain people would probably be in no better state right now.”

 

When saying this, Liu Yun’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qin Yichen, as if he had saved his life.

 

“Go deal with him.” In the silent gathering point where only screams rang out, a faint voice suddenly emerged from the youth on the left most of the three stone platforms in the middle.

 

Immediately, several Martial Emperors at the main gate nodded, and one of them walked towards the figure writhing on the ground in agony. Clearly, they did not want to wait until this person was completely eroded by the Evil Energy before dealing with him.

 

Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone in the gathering point changed slightly, and a desolate feeling involuntarily rose from the depths of their hearts.

 

In this environment, Human life truly was as cheap as grass!

 

“Don’t… please don’t, don’t kill me!” As if sensing the danger to his life, that continuously screaming figure knelt on the ground, constantly begging the burly man for mercy. However, his rationality was becoming increasingly blurred…

 

“Without any real ability, yet daring to come to the Imperial Dynasties Assembly. Truly seeking death!” However, regarding his pleading, that Martial Emperor showed no signs of wavering, instead sneering.

 

“Ah!” Under the pressure of the Martial Emperor’s aura, that Peak Stage Martial King youth screamed and his figure actually fled towards the direction where Qin Yichen and the others were located.

 

Seeing this scene, Liu Yun’s brow furrowed. Just as he was about to use his Yuan Energy to push that person away, his arm was suddenly grabbed. Looking back, Qin Yichen, who had been sitting cross-legged, had stood up.

 

“What are you doing?!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen rise, Liu Yun’s expression changed. [Could he be planning to meddle in other people’s business?]

 

“Kill!” At this moment, that Peak Stage Martial King youth had already arrived before the three of them. At this time, his pupils were extremely bloodshot. Clearly, he no longer had any rationality left.

 

However, that Martial Emperor who had originally planned to finish him off now showed no urgency to act. Instead, he stood in place with the demeanour of watching a show.

 

Truth be told, everyone who came here would be potential opponents. They were quite happy to see some people eliminated now.

 

Although these people from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty allowed these individuals to enter the gathering point, in reality, they looked down on them. In fact, they had not taken these people seriously at all.

 

The Imperial Dynasties Assembly was a stage for the strong. The weak could only serve as foils!

 

When that youth who had lost his rationality lunged forward, Qin Yichen moved. He struck out like lightning, directly grasping the youth’s jaw, then slapped a Pill into his mouth.

 

That violent youth immediately clutched his own throat. The next moment, he collapsed to the ground, convulsed twice, then stopped moving.

 

“Eh?” Those who had originally wanted to watch the excitement were suddenly startled upon seeing this scene.

 

They had not anticipated that Qin Yichen, whose aura was also merely at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm, could so easily resolve that youth who had lost his rationality.

 

“Throw him out.” From the stone platform, another faint voice was transmitted once more.

 

When that Martial Emperor was about to lift the youth and throw him out, Qin Yichen spoke. “He’s not dead.”

 

“Not dead?” The Martial Emperor was clearly stunned. After glancing at the stone platform, he finally placed his palm near the youth’s chest.

 

Indeed, there was still a faint heartbeat.

 

Moreover, most peculiar was that the Evil Energy within this youth’s body was no longer so concentrated, and was slowly dissipating.

 

“Huh?” The Martial Emperor raised his head, glanced at Qin Yichen, then lifted the youth and walked towards the stone platform in the middle.

 

This action of his attracted considerable attention.

 

In this ancient battlefield, the most lethal thing was not those Demonic Beasts hidden in the darkness, but rather the Evil Energy permeating this entire region.

 

This place was merely the outer region.

 

If one reached the core region, where Evil Energy was omnipresent, it would inevitably cause everyone’s individual strength to decline.

 

Moreover, most importantly, in the core region, even when needing to recover, no one would dare absorb the World Energy, choosing instead to directly replenish themselves with Spirit Seeds.

 

This was why the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s people were collecting Spirit Seeds.

 

The Imperial Dynasties Assembly would last for an entire month.

 

By then, if one had no recovery items in the core region, the outcome would be quite miserable!

 

The Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s people doing this were actually strengthening themselves while weakening others.

 

“Our Prince summons you!”

 

Before long, that Martial Emperor once again arrived before Qin Yichen.

 

Both Liu Yun and Long Qingyao stood up.

 

“No need to worry.” Qin Yichen signaled them to remain calm, then said to the Martial Emperor. “Lead the way.”

 

From here to Heart Trial City, there was still quite a long distance. With just the three of them, wanting to safely reach Heart Trial City was too difficult. However, if they could follow these people from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty, they would undoubtedly have a much easier time and would also have an additional layer of security.

 

Arriving at the stone platform, Qin Yichen’s gaze directly fell upon that youth.

 

This youth looked to be only around twenty years old, but the aura emanating from his body was exceptionally formidable. Moreover, judging from the current situation, this group from the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s territory was clearly led by him.

 

“You possess Pills that can dispel the Evil Energy?”

 

This youth got straight to the point when questioning Qin Yichen.

 

In truth, they had also prepared quite a few Pills for dispelling Evil Energy. However, after observing that person’s condition just now, he discovered that what Qin Yichen possessed was far superior to the Pills in their hands.

 

One must know that the person just now had clearly lost his sanity yet was still rescued.

 

This fact alone was sufficient to attract his attention.
