Seeing Qin Chuan step forward was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day for everyone, shocking yet exhilarating.
Indeed, it was exhilarating.
When the sky falls, who wouldn’t hope for someone tall to hold it up? Why this person is so tall isn’t important.
Qin Zi bit his lip and looked up. He couldn’t bring himself to feel joy; instead, his eyes were filled with more tears, blurring his vision.
The burly Demon Emperor had an amused expression on his face and smiled, saying, "Do you think you can stop me?"
"My son stands before me in tears of despair; I can’t just remain indifferent. How could I call myself a father if I did?"
Qin Chuan said in a deep voice.
"I can see you possess the aura of a Martial Emperor. If you endure for a time, one day you’ll surely become an emperor."
The Demon Emperor said.
Qin Chuan’s gaze was firm, seemingly flickering with flames, as he resolutely said, "If I can’t even protect my son, what face do I have to call myself a Martial Emperor in the future, even if I break through?"
"In my eyes, if one lacks the grandeur and bearing, even reaching that step, they aren’t worthy of being called an emperor!"
The Demon Emperor’s body trembled, and his eyes showed a moved expression.
At the same time, he felt like the person was implicitly criticizing him...
"Good! Well said, undeserving of being called an emperor!"
Finally, the Demon Emperor laughed heartily, saying aloud, "If you were to reach that step, perhaps you would indeed be a deserving Martial Emperor of the Human Race. Of course... you have no chance."
With this, he stepped forward as well, unleashing a vast imperial aura that pressed down overbearingly like the heavens above.
"Today, this emperor shall use the occasion of the True Dragon competition to eliminate you, the future Martial Emperor of the Human Race!"
With that, he reached out his right hand directly towards Qin Chuan.
The boundless Power of Heaven and Earth condensed in an instant, forcibly mobilizing countless Laws of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a massive hand that blots out the sun.
Like a pitch-black continent pressing down slowly, it made everyone feel suffocated and terrified.
If this hand fell, the entire Purple Cloud Academy would turn to ruins, and everyone would be engulfed beneath it with nowhere to escape!
Qin Chuan activated Martial Emperor Possession, and suddenly, a Vast Power was born within him as he launched a punch.
A white pillar of light shot into the sky, crashing onto the massive hand, erupting in an indescribable noise so bright it overshadowed everything.
Amidst the chaos, countless cracking sounds seemed to arise, much like ice shattering on a river, as the gigantic dark hand began to fracture and then collapse!
The Demon Emperor’s expression changed slightly because this power had reached the Martial Emperor level, nearly matching him.
"He’s definitely not a Martial Emperor!"
"It must be some kind of heaven-defying Secret Technique. At this rate, he definitely can’t last long!"
The well-informed Demon Emperor quickly guessed the truth, then resumed his assault.
"Thunder Punishment!"
In raising his right hand, a massive black cloud vortex appeared above the celestial vault, where endless Power of Lightning converged.
Then, countless lightning beams a hundred meters in diameter, akin to Thunder Dragons, continually descended towards Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan did not passively defend; instead, he roared low, his body soaring into the sky, actively charging towards the vortex.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The lightning beams struck his body, erupting with devastating beams that scorched his body black, splitting it with blood cracks!
Yet he was unstoppable, enveloped in lightning, rising like a great eagle as he charged into the vortex, causing it to abruptly halt and then burst apart.
As the black clouds scattered in that instant, Qin Chuan transformed into a magnificent landscape, bringing limitless weight as he suppressed the Demon Emperor!
The Demon Emperor roared hoarsely, raising his muscular arms that even sprouted dragon scales, exuding endless power.
The terrifying shockwave spread through the sky, severing buildings and peaks wherever it passed!
The Demon Emperor’s body began to sink slowly after briefly withstanding the magnificent landscape.
And as he sank, the ground below seemed to be compressed by a formless power, forming web-like cracks and caving in like a crater.
An invisible force supported his body, borrowing strength from the earth to resist the suppression.
"Martial Fortune Blessing!!"
He hoarsely shouted, and suddenly, golden energies emerged out of nowhere, gathering from all directions like rivers into his body.
In that moment, he glowed all over, seeming to merge with heaven and earth, not only significantly boosting his power but also displaying immense majesty.
The sound of cracking came from the air, and the magnificent landscape started to gently rise.
Like a sun rising, no matter how vast the night, it must rise triumphantly, unstoppable!
Qin Chuan’s expression changed slightly as the overwhelming suppressive force was caught, and now, both were gridlocked.
The current situation was a contest of strength between them.
If he withdrew his power midway, the opponent’s force would surge through, severely injuring him in an instant!
"He deliberately didn’t dodge earlier, taking my magnificent landscape head-on at the risk of heavy injury, just to engage in a contest of strength with me, to wear me down, and prevent me from escaping!"
Qin Chuan instantly realized.
Then his mood turned grim.
As expected of a Martial Emperor-level warrior, his battle experience was too rich, identifying and magnifying his flaw within moments! Original content can be found at novel⦿fire.net
And what is his flaw?
The opponent guessed that his Martial Emperor’s Power came from some Secret Technique, which wasn’t the real case but was close enough.
His "paternal value" was limited, unable to last long.
Precisely... only twenty-seven seconds!
And thirteen seconds had already passed, with time slipping away, and he couldn’t think of a way to break the deadlock.
Once his "paternal value" was exhausted and Martial Emperor Possession vanished, under the opponent’s Martial Emperor’s Power, he would be instantly obliterated!
"Elder, I’ll assist you!"
The Purple Cloud Palace Master shouted, transforming into a purple beam charging at the Demon Emperor, momentum like a rainbow slicing through the sky.
Qin Chuan’s eyes brightened!
However, the next moment, the Purple Cloud Palace Master collided with the Demon Emperor’s protective golden light, producing a grand explosion and flew back in defeat.
The golden light rippled like water.
It didn’t break the defense!!
"System, what do we do!"
Qin Chuan asked anxiously, as his "paternal value" was depleting fast, with only ten seconds left to support.
"Ding! There’s a saying, ’If you don’t court death, you won’t die.’ Saving you isn’t within this system’s service range. Please prepare for death. The system is about to start searching for its next host."
The system’s calm voice resounded.
Qin Chuan’s facial muscles twitched.
"Is it really over..."
He glanced back at his son, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face. Just when he had finally acted like a proper father, was it going to end ?
He did not regret it.
Yet, he couldn’t help but feel a bit unwilling.
"Little thief, I’ve finally found you!!"
Just then, a cold female voice rang out, as a scarlet vortex suddenly appeared in the celestial vault.
Then, an exquisite woman in a white dress emerged from the vortex, holding a lock of hair with her slender fingers, which seemed alive, its end pointing towards... Qin Zi!
