195: Qianyuan Sect!

As he finished speaking, a black-robed man stepped out.

One couldn't tell his age from his appearance alone; he looked like a young man in his twenties.

However, everyone present was from the Qianyuan Sect, so they naturally knew the approximate age of the black-robed man.

This black-robed man was named Qi Qiang.

He, along with another, the white-robed man he had just been speaking with—Xuan Yi—

were both peak Void Union Realm Eighth Stage powerhouses, known as the Black and White Dual Revered Ones of the Qianyuan Sect.

On the Xuanzhe Continent, a Xuan Saint Realm Ninth Stage was equivalent to a profound practitioner who had just entered the Void Union Realm Ninth Stage.

Even a peak Xuan Saint Realm Ninth Stage was only comparable to a mid-Void Union Realm Ninth Stage.

This also led to a significant power gap from the Xuan Saint Realm Ninth Stage to the Xuān God Realm.

It was even greater than the leap from the Void Union Realm Ninth Stage to the Heavenly Imperial Realm in the Four Profound Heavens.

Coupled with the imperfect nature of the realms, this was why, throughout countless years on the Xuanzhe Continent, only Martial Limit Sky had successfully broken through to the Xuān God Realm.

As for the Dragon Emperor, being in the Xuan Saint Realm Eighth Stage, he might be slightly weaker than a Void Union Realm Ninth Stage, but only slightly.

Compared to the Void Union Realm, each stage in the Xuan Saint Realm had a much smaller gap.

In other words, the Dragon Emperor was actually probably closer to the Void Union Realm Ninth Stage than Qi Qiang.

However, Qi Qiang, as a martial artist, possessed a richer array of combat techniques.

Moreover, he had a trump card that profound practitioners did not: a Domain.

Among those of the same realm, the boost provided by a Domain was unimaginable for a martial artist.

To put it this way, an Eighth Stage Void Union Realm profound practitioner using a Domain could overwhelm a Ninth Stage Void Union Realm profound practitioner who wasn't using one.

This increase in combat power brought by a Domain was more than tenfold.

Of course, under normal circumstances, when martial artists fought within the same realm, they generally wouldn't achieve significant results without obvious counters or weaknesses.

Because if you can use a Domain, I can use a Domain too.

It had almost become common knowledge for Void Union Realm martial artists to activate their Domains first in combat.

A seasoned martial artist would rarely give others an opportunity to exploit a weakness.

However, this time, facing this native, Qi Qiang decided not to use his Domain yet and play with it for a while.

So, Qi Qiang stepped out and taunted, "Little crawler, come to your grandpa here, your grandpa will play with you."

Although the Dragon Emperor was incredibly wary of this group of people and couldn't sense their specific realms,

at this moment, these guys were already shitting on its head.

How could it tolerate this?

After a furious roar, the Dragon Emperor, piloting its massive body, charged towards Qi Qiang.

The accompanying winds swept forth, bringing with them immense pressure.

However, Qi Qiang remained unfazed, still taunting, "You're really obedient to your grandpa, you came right over when I told you to."

But facing the Dragon Emperor's enraged strike, Qi Qiang had no intention of taking it head-on.

Large sizes have their advantages, and small sizes have theirs.

Just like Qi Qiang now, he instantly dodged through a gap in the Dragon Emperor's attack.

In battles of the same realm, one cannot rely solely on brute force; strategic moves and calculations are also essential.

The Dragon Emperor, aware of this, transformed into its human form and continued to entangle with Qi Qiang.

However, the martial arts system of the Four Profound Heavens was highly developed, and martial artists possessed an endless array of techniques.

Compared to them, the Dragon Emperor was practically like a primitive.

Not only were its strength and physical form crude and simple, but its application was equally crude and simple.

As the Dragon Emperor, the profound techniques it used were naturally the most top-tier on the Xuanzhe Continent.

Yet, in front of Qi Qiang, they were still not enough.

The two had been entangled for a long time, but in reality, Qi Qiang had been playing around and holding back the entire time.

"Can't hit me, can't hit me!"

"Can't hit me, can't hit me, hehe, can't hit me!"

"Dodge!"

"Dodge!"

...

Countless failed attacks were practically driving the Dragon Emperor mad with rage.

Damn it, where did this scoundrel come from, who could play like this?

Was this even martial arts from the same dimension?

Qi Qiang stopped and saw that the disciples below had not finished their slaughter.

So he continued to provoke, "Come and hit me, you idiot!"

As he spoke, he would run in front of the Dragon Emperor to show off, then quickly dodge when the Dragon Emperor attacked, "I'm here again, I'm gone again..."

So, the Dragon Emperor simply stopped, temporarily recovering its stamina.

Since it couldn't hit the opponent anyway, there was no need to waste more energy.

Then, its gaze also anxiously watched the battle below.

Undoubtedly, its Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragon clan was facing a one-sided slaughter below.

Its subjects had no power to resist.

Whenever it intended to go down and help, it would be blocked by this fellow in front of it.

So, it could only watch everything happening below with its own eyes.

It had also notified the Twelve Dragon Veins, but not for help, but to flee quickly.

These guys, even it couldn't deal with them; if the Twelve Dragon Veins came, they would only die in vain.

At that time, when this period of trouble passed and the situation improved, it would let them return.

From a distance, Qi Qiang was still constantly provoking, and the Dragon Emperor slowly closed its eyes, as if ignoring him, deep in thought.

Seeing this, Qi Qiang quietly approached, intending to take the opportunity to provoke the Dragon Emperor further.

However, just as he got close, the Dragon Emperor, without opening its eyes, launched an attack.

Qi Qiang, as if he had expected it, easily dodged, "Haha, you idiot, I knew you were deliberately luring me.

You wanted to hit me when I got close, I guessed it early on."

But Qi Qiang seemed to notice that the corner of the Dragon Emperor's mouth slightly curved upward.

A thought flashed through his mind: Not good, I'm in trouble!

Suddenly, a Giant Force came from his side, sending him flying down onto Ten Thousand Dragon Island.

Caught off guard, Qi Qiang, without braking, directly smashed a large crater into Ten Thousand Dragon Island.

The Dragon Emperor then seized the opportunity to pursue, revealing its true form, and stomped fiercely into the center of the crater.

At this moment, Xuan Yi had just shakily gotten to his feet; he certainly wouldn't have time to dodge this attack.

The white-robed man, Xuan Yi, seeing this, burst into laughter, mocking Qi Qiang, "I told you to show off, now you're not showing off, are you? Hahahahaha!"

Just as the Dragon Emperor's foot descended, Qi Qiang clenched his right fist and punched upwards with all his might.

Immediately, Qi Qiang's fist connected with the Dragon Emperor's foot, and a bright light flashed around Qi Qiang.

Then, then the Dragon Emperor's foot was directly punched through by Qi Qiang.

Their realms were similar, and the power of that last strike should have been roughly the same.

In fact, the Dragon Emperor had gathered its strength for that strike, while Qi Qiang had reacted on the fly.

No matter what, it shouldn't have ended this way.

Because, during the exchange, Qi Qiang had used the power of his Domain.

And Qi Qiang's Domain, among the Black and White Dual Revered Ones of the Qianyuan Sect, specialized in offense.

Its power was extremely strong, and with the Domain's enhancement, Qi Qiang's punch

a beam of light shot up into the sky following Qi Qiang's punch.

It easily broke through the Dragon Emperor's defense and punched through its foot.

Thus, on the Dragon Emperor's foot, there was now a small hole with a diameter of one kilometer, which was merely the size of a pinprick to the Dragon Emperor.

Standing precisely in the center of the small hole was Qi Qiang, still holding the posture of punching upwards.

Lowering his hand, Qi Qiang raised his head, and there was no longer any hint of playfulness in his eyes as he looked at the Dragon Emperor.

He said indifferently, "I originally wanted to play with you, but since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
