Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

"How… did you… get in here?"

The old servant in coarse robes stared with wide eyes, struggling to ask.

The barrier of Lansheng Peak was supposed to block even Saints of the Ninth Heaven, yet the man before him was merely a Saint of the Third Heaven.

How had he managed to enter?

"Do you want to know?"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly. He opened his mouth, teasing the old servant with a hint of an answer, only to close it again. After repeating this several times, he smirked and said, "I'm not telling you."

Pfft!!

The old servant spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, dead on the spot, his eyes wide open in disbelief—he died without peace!

Qin Chuan casually scattered the old servant's ashes to the wind.

He then turned to the group of Lu family experts who had been left speechless. These were all Saints at the Seventh or Eighth Heaven.

Thud!

"Spare us, senior!"

"Senior, it wasn't our fault! The Lu family forced us! We're not really part of the Lu family!"

These so-called "actors" immediately knelt before Qin Chuan, abandoning any semblance of pride.

If they were ordinary Saints, they might still have some dignity, but in the face of Qin Chuan's overwhelming power, they had none left.

Qin Chuan didn't bother to speak. He swept his right hand, and a torrent of golden sword light, infused with the Law of Gold, tore them all apart.

When dealing with enemies, why show mercy?

It was only then that the surrounding prodigies snapped out of their shock, their faces lighting up with joy.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Senior, we will never forget your life-saving grace!"

"Senior, your righteousness is unparalleled!"

They quickly offered their gratitude, piling compliments upon Qin Chuan. They knew well that the more they flattered him, the more likely he would lean toward mercy. After all, a neutral figure might be swayed to become a protector rather than a threat.

"Hehe, didn't I say? My father would definitely come to save us." Qin Zi grinned smugly, beaming like an overjoyed pup.

"Yes, yes, you were right."

"Indeed, you were."

The prodigies nodded in agreement, though they couldn't help but wonder—does your father follow you around all the time?

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a terrifying bolt of lightning erupted from the pavilion deep within Lansheng Peak, spreading out like the fury of the heavens and sweeping across the land.

"Ahhh!!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, hundreds of prodigies on Lansheng Peak exploded into clouds of blood mist, their bodies reduced to nothing.

"This is bad!"

Qin Chuan reacted quickly, invoking the Laws of Gold, Wood, and Water to shield both himself and Qin Zi. Even so, the force left him shaken, his blood surging within him!

"Hmph! A mere Saint of the Third Heaven dares to act so recklessly on my Lu family's territory? Who gave you the courage?!"

A voice filled with authority echoed.

Qin Chuan looked up and saw the pavilion suddenly explode, and from beneath it, a towering tree broke through the ground.

At the top of the giant tree, a massive golden bud bloomed, radiating dazzling lightning. Within the lightning stood a figure, as if he were the master of thunder itself!

It was clear that this figure was an elder of the Lu family, previously in seclusion beneath Lansheng Peak, now awakened by the disturbance.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Qin Zi began to panic, for the person before them had made an entrance too grand to ignore. He could tell at a glance that this was no easy opponent, and his father needed time to recover his strength.

Qin Zi remembered well—his father had warned him that restoring too much of his power too quickly would damage his foundation. Perhaps he was already injured…

Qin Chuan didn't immediately respond. Instead, he quietly checked the system's latest update.

Ding! You have used the Bravado Safety Card. Congratulations, you have received the Invincibility Experience Card for Lansheng Peak! For the rest of the day, within the area of Lansheng Peak, the stronger your opponents are, the stronger you will become—invincible!

Hiss!!

Qin Chuan drew in a sharp breath—things were about to get serious.

He had a strong feeling that after today, his name would spread throughout the Eastern Domain, and he would finally complete the mission, "My Father is Qin Chuan."

Meanwhile, Qin Zi, seeing his father's silence, assumed he was considering an escape but was torn about his reputation.

Thus, Qin Zi said, "Father, how about you use that divine ability from last time, and we leave?"

"You need time to restore your strength. It's not worth damaging your foundation for small fry like this."

The dutiful son was offering his father an excuse to retreat—he believed his father needed it.

Qin Chuan came to his senses and smiled warmly, patting his son's head with affection. "Little Zi, you've grown up."

Then he shook his head and sighed. "But we can't leave this time. After all, the Lu family has killed so many prodigies today. If we leave now, they can twist the story and paint us as murderers."

"Your reputation, son—if the world believes you're a little demon, they'll hunt you down."

"Open attacks are easy to avoid, but hidden plots are harder. I can't let you bear the burden of such false accusations and be hunted wherever you go."

He took a deep breath, a resolute light flashing in his eyes. "So, this time, let's turn their world upside down! No matter the cost, I won't hold back!"

He smiled, carefree and confident.

"This time, consider it a small treat. You'll get to see a glimpse of my glory from back in the day. And you'll understand... what it truly means to be invincible!"

"Father…"

Qin Zi's lips trembled, his eyes growing moist. His father's words seemed casual, but to Qin Zi, they carried a deep sense of tragic resolve.

He could already foresee the heavy price his father would pay after this battle, the pain he would endure…

And it was all for him!

"Heh, how ridiculous for a mere ant to boast such nonsense!"

At this moment, the elder of the Lu family standing amidst the thunder sneered, his voice filled with authority.

"Today, I will suppress both father and son and give justice to the fallen prodigies of the major powers!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and suddenly, endless lightning appeared in the sky, transforming into a colossal thunder dragon that lunged at Qin Chuan and Qin Zi.

Roar!!

The thunder dragon roared, its passage causing the air to explode in layers. The destructive power it carried could easily annihilate a Saint of the Third Heaven.

Even a Saint of the Fourth Heaven would be severely wounded!

Yet, as the massive thunder dragon reached Qin Chuan, it suddenly froze mid-air, as if time itself had stopped.

Qin Chuan slowly extended his right index finger, lightly tracing it through the air as if striking a match.

Zzzzt!

With a soft sound, a small flame ignited at his fingertip, and he placed it beneath the frozen thunder dragon.

Swoosh!

The flame expanded rapidly, and the thunder dragon burned like paper, disintegrating into ashes piece by piece.

"What's happening?!"

The elder, standing in the golden bud amidst the lightning, was shocked and let out a cold snort. "Hmph! Such trickery is ultimately worthless. Watch as I destroy you!"

He stomped down hard, his body shooting into the sky like a kunpeng soaring into the heavens.

The bud and tree beneath him exploded, transforming into streams of pure law, which flowed into him like a tail.

After absorbing the power, his aura became terrifying, and he struck down with his palm toward Qin Chuan.

"Five-Element Cataclysm!!"

Instantly, the laws of Gold, Wood, Earth, Wind, and Thunder converged, forming a destructive vortex that descended toward Qin Chuan. The power within the vortex seemed capable of tearing everything apart!

"Father!"

Qin Zi hid behind Qin Chuan, his face pale with fear, his body trembling.

But Qin Chuan raised his head calmly, his gaze cold and commanding as he said, "When I decide to be invincible, how could you possibly stand a chance to act out?"

Boom!

As soon as the words left his lips, the terrifying vortex of destruction shattered like a soap bubble in the sunlight.

Not only that, but the Lu family elder suddenly felt his body become unbearably heavy, and he fell like a meteor, crashing to the ground.

Boom!!

A massive circular crater formed in the earth, and at its center, the elder knelt on both knees, bleeding profusely!

"This… this…"

Qin Zi's mouth fell open, speechless, while his blood surged like molten lava in his veins.

What did it mean to be invincible?

This was it!!
