Chapter 766, Effortless Passage

Translator: Silavin

 

Witnessing this Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm giant wolf in such a state, Qin Yichen’s heart swelled with profound relief.

 

If forced to fight, even expending every means at his disposal, attempting to pass through this space would have extracted a devastating price from him!

 

Subsequently, Qin Yichen had no leisure to taunt this giant wolf. Instead, he swiftly darted past its side.

 

Throughout, the giant wolf remained motionless.

 

This further allowed Qin Yichen to breathe easy. Originally, he had suspected the giant wolf was feigning submission to lure him into a trap. The outcome proved he had worried too much.

 

After passing beside the Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm giant wolf, within mere moments, Qin Yichen reached the exit.

 

Brilliant light flooded in.

 

A majestic mountain peak appeared within his line of sight. This mountain towered ten thousand metres high and was extraordinarily steep. At the peak’s summit stood a magnificent and ancient structure.

 

That magnificent ancient structure was shrouded by a golden luminous halo, resembling a divine miracle, which captivated ones’ Soul!

 

Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed toward the centre of the structure. There, faintly visible, stood an enormous stele, like an invincible expert surveying this realm!

 

“Truly worthy of being the Demon Subduing Great Saint!” Observing this scene before him, Qin Yichen couldn’t suppress his admiration.

 

Though millions of years had passed, standing below, he could still perceive the Demon Subduing Great Saint’s formidable power and majesty!

 

After a prolonged moment, Qin Yichen finally withdrew his somewhat awestruck gaze. His footsteps gradually emerged from within the passage.

 

Just as Qin Yichen’s foot had barely stepped forward, a soft exclamation suddenly rang out from his side.

 

“Eh? You actually made it through?”

 

Qin Yichen’s stride halted abruptly. Then, he turned his gaze sideward, his pupils suddenly contracted. There, standing in a pale yellow dress, was Mu Yanzhen.

 

A pair of clear eyes gazed at him with a trace of astonishment.

 

At this moment, the normally fairy-like Mu Yanzhen appeared somewhat drenched from perspiration. Her pale yellow dress, as if soaked by sweat, clung to her delicate frame, outlining her perfect curves in a heart-stopping manner!

 

However, Qin Yichen merely swept a glance before withdrawing his gaze. Such a woman could only be admired from afar. She was not to be trifled with!

 

“Greetings, Miss Mu.” Qin Yichen smiled faintly, nodding in acknowledgment.

 

“You didn’t encounter any guardian creatures at the end of your passage?” Mu Yanzhen’s eyes swept across Qin Yichen, checking him at every angle. She discovered that though his aura fluctuated somewhat, he was far from displaying the appearance of having endured a gruelling battle.

 

Naturally, she had absolutely no knowledge that mere moments ago, Qin Yichen had forced Xia Lieyang to self-detonate!

 

“Guardian at my passage?” Upon hearing this, a trace of contemplation flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes. [Does this mean every passage ends with a Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm giant wolf serving as the guardian?]

 

In other words, Mu Yanzhen had emerged completely unscathed from a Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beast?!

 

“No, there wasn’t.” Qin Yichen shrugged his shoulders, responding with a bewildered expression.

 

“There wasn’t?” Mu Yanzhen was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. However, she didn’t inquire further. She did not seem interested in questioning what Qin Yichen had experienced in his passage or what he might have obtained.

 

*Swish! Swish!* At this moment, accompanied by two sharp sounds, from several passages to Mu Yanzhen’s left, two figures emerged in somewhat disheveled states.

 

[Gu Feitian! Yao Yue!] Upon seeing these two figures, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

 

Judging by appearances, both had evidently encountered Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm guardian Demonic Beasts. However, collaborating together, though somewhat bedraggled, they had successfully escaped from it without sustaining significant injuries.

 

Subsequently, following alongside them, five or six Mid Stage Martial Emperors with relatively favorable fortunes also emerged. Each wore expressions of lingering fear, as if having narrowly escaped death. They were overwhelmed with relief.

 

“Hmm?” Discovering someone had emerged before them, both Gu Feitian and Yao Yue furrowed their brows. Upon noticing Qin Yichen, their eyes also held traces of puzzlement.

 

However, when their gazes fell upon Mu Yanzhen, the confusion in their eyes dissipated.

 

In their minds, Mu Yanzhen’s successful breakthrough was of no surprise. As for Qin Yichen, in their hearts, he had already become a kept man following behind a woman. Otherwise, how could a mere Early Stage Martial Emperor possibly traverse through a passage guarded by a Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beast?

 

Whether in strength or appearance, Qin Yichen posed no threat whatsoever. Immediately, their gazes dismissed him, investing instead with burning intensity toward Mu Yanzhen.

 

At this moment, the delicate-framed Mu Yanzhen in her clinging garment undoubtedly possessed an additional allure, causing these two great geniuses to experience a truly ‘momentary distraction’.

 

“Aah!”

 

Just as Mu Yanzhen’s expression darkened with displeasure, a piercing scream suddenly erupted from a passage to the side, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

 

Nearby, a familiar figure burst forth violently. From the passage behind him echoed the savage, furious roar of a Demonic Beast.

 

“Qiao Linlang?”

 

Upon seeing this figure, Qin Yichen was also momentarily stunned. Observing the latter’s current condition, he could not suppress a surge of dark satisfaction.

 

The present Qiao Linlang bore absolutely no resemblance to his former refined elegance. His hair was disheveled, and more tragically, his right arm bore a savage wound. From the torn, gaping flesh, white bone was actually visible!

 

Moreover, his aura appeared extremely weakened, as if he had employed some technique to forcibly elevate his realm. After the effects had worn off, there was the backlash, which was obvious in his weakened state.

 

Qiao Linlang’s face filled with fury as he glared at the passage behind him. However, after waiting for considerable time, not a single one of the Martial Emperors who had accompanied him emerged! This caused his complexion to pale several degrees further!

 

*Bang! Bang!*

 

At this moment, the passage furthest from Qin Yichen shook. Moments later, a massive, imposing figure wielding those characteristic twin hammers also strode forth from the corridor.

 

“Li Yuanba.” The corners of Qin Yichen’s mouth curved into a smile. At this moment, Li Yuanba had actually broken through to the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm stage. Even more astonishing, the Momentum emanating from him seemed to have become several degrees more concentrated!

 

Clearly, Li Yuanba’s fortune within his passage had been considerable. Moreover, he definitely had not used any cunning methods to escape. Judging by his heavy perspiration, he had clearly experienced a gruelling battle!

 

“Yichen!” After bursting forth, Li Yuanba’s gaze swept the surroundings before landing upon Qin Yichen with delight.

 

Watching Li Yuanba extend his ape-like arms trying to crudely embrace him, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched. He swiftly dodged aside.
