Peerless God Emperor

A deathly still atmosphere enveloped the entire area. Dust and sand were swept up into the sky by the violent winds, gradually forming a terrifying storm that expanded and spread out destructive fluctuations.    

Qin Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky. He stretched out his palm and Heavenly Dragon Halberd appeared in his hand. With one step, he appeared in the sky and looked down at the tornados.    

His arm trembled, the Heavenly Dragon Halberd slashed out, a Dragon's Roar seemed to appear in the air, a Heavenly Dragon's silhouette flew out with an unparalleled aura, terrifying dragon claws erupted forth, shattering the space, as though a Great Terror Power was hidden within, forcefully ripping apart the tornado.    

Following a series of sky-shaking explosions, the tempest in the sky finally dissipated, leaving behind only a peerless figure that hovered in the air, seeming to be the only existence in the world.    

The next moment, everything around Qin Xuan disappeared. He once again returned to the Tristar Cave. However, a figure appeared in front of him.    

Qin Xuan raised his head and looked at the figure. His expression couldn't help but freeze. This is …    

The figure in front of him was actually completely the same as him. It was completely the same person.    

"If you defeat me, you will be able to pass this trial." the man said.    

After hearing the voice, Qin Xuan's expression became even more surprised. This voice was the same as his own. It seemed like this was an illusion created by the All-Seer using some sort of great technique. It had the same appearance as him, including the ability to cultivate.    

Qin Xuan had experienced this kind of challenge before. In the Big Dipper Selection, one of the tests was to defeat himself. In the end, he understood the true meaning of this challenge and successfully broke through.    

However, the illusions in the Three Star Cave were clearly many times stronger than the ones he had encountered in the Northern Dipper City.    

However, Qin Xuan's strength was not the same as before. There were too many abilities in his cultivation now. Even if he had the supreme ability, it would still be difficult to materialize it.    

Qin Xuan raised his palm, and a origin soul appeared out of nowhere. It was his seventh origin soul, the ancient halberd.    

At the same time, the illusion did the same, summoning the heavenly halberd origin soul.    

"Light of Destruction." Qin Xuan's heart rang out as his arm trembled. In that instant, the ancient halberd released an incomparably dazzling radiance that filled the entire space, causing the originally dim cave to be as bright as day.    

A domineering divine beam of light pierced through the space, seeking to destroy everything.    

The face of the illusion instantly revealed a trace of panic. It hurriedly slashed out with its halberd and a godly light also bloomed. However, it was completely incomparable to Qin Xuan's attack.    

When the two beams of divine light collided with each other, a deafening sound rang out. The entire cave trembled as a beam of divine light overwhelmingly pressed forward, passing through the illusory figure in the blink of an eye.    

"You …" The illusion's expression was stiff as it stood there. Its pupils abruptly widened as a hint of fear appeared in its eyes.    

A crackling sound could be heard as the divine light exploded. The illusion's body instantly disintegrated into countless pieces and disappeared.    

"Congratulations on passing!"    

A voice suddenly sounded within the abode. It was the voice of Tian Quan.    

Qin Xuan bowed to the empty air before turning around and leaving. Moments later, Qin Xuan walked out of the Tristar Cave, as the gazes of the crowd all landed on him, filled with astonishment.    

"He actually came out just like that …" The hearts of the crowd pounded madly. How long has it been since he entered?    

This speed, wasn't it too fast!    

Looking at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Xuan's brows twitched. He couldn't help but reveal a strange expression as he asked, "Why are all of you looking at me like that?"    

"Senior Brother, you really are a godly person!" A person couldn't help but sigh. This was probably the fastest record in the history of the Tristar Cave!    

Qin Xuan's face turned slightly red when he heard that person's evaluation of him. He even felt a little embarrassed and quickly waved his hand: "No need, it's nothing. Everyone, don't speak carelessly."    

"Brother Qin, you are too modest. In such a short period of time, you have passed all nine trials. Other than you, there is no one else capable of this." The other disciples nodded in agreement. "Indeed."    

Qin Xuan's expression froze when he heard this. It seemed that the disciples of the Xia Wang Jie attached a lot of importance to the Tristar Cave.    

"If Senior Brother Qin went to challenge Deities Templar, he might be able to reach the Eastern Emperor Hao's record." Wei Jin suddenly spoke, causing the expressions of the crowd to falter as they shifted their gazes onto Qin Xuan.    

"I don't think Brother Qin has entered the shrine yet?" a man asked tentatively.    

"Nope." Qin Xuan nodded.    

"According to the rules, every disciple of the Xia Wang Jie has a chance to enter the Divine Palace. If Brother Qin has time, why not try the Divine Palace. The disciple continued.    

"I'll go take a look when I have time." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. He had also seen it when he was in the Abyss of Samsara. Only Eastern Emperor Hao was able to enter the shrine within four breaths of time. The rest of the people would need at least five breaths of time.    

Not long after Qin Xuan, another figure walked out from the Tristar Cave. It was Jiang Fengjue.    

Jiang Fengjue saw Qin Xuan chatting with the other disciples and a strange look flashed across his eyes. He thought he was fast enough, but he never expected Qin Xuan to come out even faster than him.    

"Brother Qin." Jiang Fengjue shouted at Qin Xuan.    

Qin Xuan heard the sound and turned around to see Jiang Fengjue walking over. He also smiled and said, "Brother Jiang."    

"Brother Qin is amazing, I'm impressed!" Jiang Fengjue walked over and cupped his fist as he spoke with a hint of admiration in his voice.    

"I was just lucky." Qin Xuan said humbly.    

Jiang Fengjue looked deeply at Qin Xuan. Was it just a fluke? I'm afraid it's not necessarily true.    

The strongest of the Nine Mystical Palace, his reputation was definitely not for show.    

"Has Senior-apprentice Brother Jiang passed the ninth trial?" Wei Jin looked at Jiang Fengjue and asked. The others also gathered around him, their eyes filled with anticipation.    

"What do you think?" Jiang Feng Jue revealed a mysterious smile but didn't answer directly.    

"He must have passed." Everyone had the same thought in their minds. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have said such a thing.    

Qin Xuan also looked at Jiang Fengjue. He also believed that as long as Jiang Fengjue had sufficient talent and power, he could easily pass the ninth trial.    

He had created a total of two abilities in the Abyss of Samsara. The first was the Star Abyss, while the second was a halberd art. Right now, he was only able to create the first move, Light Destroyer.    

The Light of Destruction merged with the Dao of Fragmentation and Sword Truth, unleashing the halberd arts with a powerful destructive power.    

The crowd waited for a moment longer before the marquis walked out. When he walked out, his face was filled with a smug smile.    

However, when he saw that Qin Xuan and Jiang Fengjue were both outside, his expression immediately collapsed. He was the slowest?    

"Now, did you admit defeat?" Jiang Fengjue swept an indifferent glance at Hou Sheng. His gaze was very much like the gaze that Hou Sheng had when he was looking at him.    

"..." The marquis was instantly left speechless. He was the worst, that was impossible!    

Suddenly, a light flashed across the marquis' eyes as he thought of something. He looked at Qin Xuan and Jiang FengJue with pride on his face, "You two definitely haven't passed the ninth trial, so you came out a bit faster than me, right?"    

"Alright. Whatever you say is what it is." Jiang Feng waved his hands nonchalantly, as if he was too lazy to argue with the marquis.    

"No, I have to make this matter clear. This is related to my character!" Other than the fact that he had been delayed for a period of time in the ninth stage, he had swept past them. How could he be slower than them?    

Upon hearing the words of the marquis, Qin Xuan and Jiang Fengjue both turned to look at the marquis. They couldn't afford to lose?    

"Let's go." Qin Xuan waved to the crowd, stepped onto the air and left.    

"I'm leaving too." Jiang Fengjue said and also prepared to leave.    

The body of the marquis stiffened as he watched the two of them leave. His face was somewhat dark. How dare he ignore them …    

However, on the way back to Jiang Fengjue's cave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him with a smile on his face. It turned out to be Qin Xuan.    

"What does Brother Qin mean by this?" Upon seeing Qin Xuan's sudden appearance, Jiang Fengjue was astonished.    

"I have a question that I don't understand. I would like to ask Brother Jiang for guidance." Qin Xuan said politely.    

"What problem?" Jiang Fengjue asked.    

"When we first opened the Great Saint Ruins, Brother Jiang only arrived later on. The one who opened the ruins was the black robe, but the last inheritor of the True Saint Lord Jiang's inheritance was Brother Jiang. The Eastern Kingdom and the people from the Xiao all returned empty-handed.    

Qin Xuan seemed to be talking to himself, but Jiang Feng Jue's expression changed and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.    

He thought that no one was aware of this, but never did he expect that Qin Xuan was the one to find out.    

"What does Brother Qin want to say?" Jiang Fengjue asked calmly.    

"Who exactly is the black robe?" Qin Xuan asked word by word as he stared into Jiang Fengjue's eyes.    

He did not realize this before, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Since the black robe could open the relic, it meant that he must have had some sort of connection with the relic.    

However, it was Jiang Fengjue.    

As a result, Qin Xuan guessed that Jiang Feng Jue had some unknown relationship with the black robe.    

"Brother Qin really wants to know?" The corners of Jiang Fengjue's mouth curled up in a strange smile, giving off a demonic feeling.    

"Of course." Qin Xuan nodded.    

He only saw Jiang Feng Jue's body releasing a strong Qi, following that, a figure appeared beside him out of nowhere. This person was dressed in black robe robes, and his appearance could not be discerned, it was actually the black robe person from back then!    

Seeing the black robe man appear out of thin air, Qin Xuan's pupils froze. His face revealed an expression of extreme shock, and he could not believe his eyes!    

"Now, do you see it clearly?"    

From the black robe's mouth, a low voice came out, and then he disappeared again, as if he had never appeared.
