As soon as the words fell, Qin Chuan no longer hesitated and began cultivating according to the methods outlined in the Buddha-Demon Genesis.
Time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Qinghong had been waiting outside the cave since yesterday, but there was still no sign of Qin Chuan leaving seclusion, nor any sound from within the cave.
With a worried expression, Lan Qinghong said, "It’s already the tenth day. Will you succeed?"
Truth be told, she didn’t believe Qin Chuan could break through to the Emperor Realm Peak within ten days, but since Qin Chuan was Zhao Hongling’s man, she had no choice but to believe.
"Lan Qinghong!"
At that moment, an angry voice suddenly rang out behind her.
Lan Qinghong’s expression changed dramatically, and her hair stood on end as she felt a terrifying pressure emanating from the person behind her.
This pressure seemed to come from the depths of her soul.
"Emperor Realm!"
Lan Qinghong’s face was filled with terror. She hadn’t expected an Emperor Realm expert from Kunlun Divine Prison to come and capture her personally.
The Emperor Realm expert from Kunlun Divine Prison said coldly, "Lan Qinghong, who was it that killed the four experts of Kunlun Divine Prison? Tell me, and I might spare your life!"
Lan Qinghong finally understood that Kunlun Divine Prison had found out about the incident.
"It was me!"
Lan Qinghong gritted her teeth and said.
She would never betray Qin Chuan, especially since he was in seclusion within the cave. She had to find a way to divert the other’s attention; otherwise, interrupting Qin Chuan’s seclusion would be disastrous.
Previously, when Qin Chuan set up a blocking formation, she thought he was making a fuss over nothing. Today, it seemed her perspective had been too narrow, not considering everything thoroughly.
If not for Qin Chuan’s blocking formation, he might have been exposed by now.
"Hmph!"
The other party said coldly, "Do you think I’m a child? Those four martial artists were killed in a single strike; to accomplish that, one must be at least at the Emperor Realm Peak."
"Lan Qinghong, if you’re not honest, don’t blame me for being unkind to you."
The Emperor’s Power erupted from the person, directly enveloping Lan Qinghong.
Lan Qinghong endured the immense pressure, gritting her teeth and saying, "It was me who killed them. If you have the guts, kill me now. I’m not afraid of you!"
"Good, very good!"
The rage on the other’s face intensified as they squinted at Lan Qinghong and said, "Do you know that the Great Emperor cannot be humiliated?"
"Even an ant like you dares to resist. You insult me, and so I shall grant you a death by explosion."
As soon as the words fell, the other waved his hand, and a terrifying force enveloped Lan Qinghong.
Lan Qinghong bit her lip tightly, enduring the near-explosive pain in her body, glaring at the other party with no hint of fear, only hatred.
"Die!"
Seeing that Lan Qinghong dared to glare at him fearlessly even in her dying moments, the other party was thoroughly enraged.
"You also know that the Great Emperor cannot be insulted?"
At that moment, a divine voice echoed in the Emperor Realm expert’s ears as if from the heavens.
"Who’s there?"
The Divine Prison expert’s face changed dramatically, fear spreading across his face.
He was merely at the Early-stage Emperor Realm, but this pressure filled him with despair; it was the pressure of an Emperor Realm Peak expert.
Lan Qinghong’s eyes, filled with despair, suddenly lit up. The pressure that had almost crushed her instantly vanished.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she stared at the direction of the cave.
She knew Qin Chuan had succeeded!
Qin Chuan had taken just ten days, accurately nine days, to break through from the Late Stage Emperor Realm to the Peak of the Emperor Realm, a near-miracle.
"Die!"
The next second, a young figure surrounded by black energy flew out from the cave, appearing like a phantom before the Divine Prison expert, grabbing his throat.
The Divine Prison expert’s face was filled with terror, wanting to beg for mercy, but with Qin Chuan gripping his throat, he couldn’t utter a single word.
"Crack!"
In the next second, a clear sound of breaking bones echoed. The expert from Kunlun Divine Prison had his neck snapped by Qin Chuan.
"De-Demon Cultivator!"
These were his last words before dying.
Lan Qinghong also heard the Divine Prison expert’s last words and began to tremble all over.
In the Ancient Martial World, demon cultivators were only legends. It was said that their cultivation speed was extremely fast, and their methods incredibly cruel.
The next second, something even more terrifying happened to Lan Qinghong.
Although the Divine Prison expert had his neck twisted, Qin Chuan’s hand still held on tightly. Next, the deceased Emperor Realm expert’s body began to shrivel at a visible pace.
"D-Demon Skill!"
Lan Qinghong started to shiver uncontrollably, stumbling back several steps.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Buddha-Demon Genesis, enabling one to devour the cultivation of Emperor Realm experts and refine it into energy for oneself.
"As expected of an Emperor Realm expert!"
After devouring the Divine Prison expert’s cultivation, Qin Chuan looked satisfied.
He had just broken through to the Emperor Realm Peak, but now his strength had inexplicably increased even further, almost matching the progress of his ten-day closed-door cultivation.
Looking at Lan Qinghong, her entire body tensed up, staring at Qin Chuan with apprehension.
Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, understanding what Lan Qinghong feared. He said softly, "Don’t worry, I merely practiced demon skills; my heart remains unchanged."
Lan Qinghong felt somewhat relieved but still looked at Qin Chuan with fear, asking, "You’re truly unaffected by the demon skills?"
Qin Chuan said bitterly, "How could I be unaffected? It’s just that I can suppress the evil thoughts within."
"Next, it’s time to go to Kunlun Divine Prison!"
His eyes turned cold, emitting a terrifying killing intent.
Although Lan Qinghong was afraid of Qin Chuan, she knew his change was minor, and he was Zhao Hongling’s man. He had cultivated demon skills to save Zhao Hongling, so she put aside her prejudice against demon cultivators.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a city, specifically, the walled Kunlun Divine Prison.
"After ten years, I have returned!"
Qin Chuan looked at Kunlun Divine Prison with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Today, he intended to slaughter everyone!
Qin Chuan abruptly looked at Lan Qinghong and said, "Hide first; I’ll come to find you after I destroy Kunlun Divine Prison!"
Lan Qinghong knew her cultivation was too weak, following him would only be a burden. She nodded seriously and said, "Make sure to bring Hongling back safely!"
Qin Chuan nodded, "I will!"
As soon as he spoke, he stomped his foot on the ground, and his figure soared into the air.
With Lan Qinghong’s shocked gaze, Qin Chuan stepped into the void, instantly appearing above Kunlun Divine Prison.
Like a deity from the Immortal Realm, Qin Chuan stood above Kunlun Divine Prison and loudly declared, "Today, Kunlun Divine Prison shall be destroyed!"
