Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted, and the scorching shockwave hit Qin Zi's back, propelling him forward even faster.

At the same time, a slight sense of safety emerged within him.

He thought that such an explosion, even if it couldn't seriously injure the opponent, would at least delay them for a while.

However, reality was cruel.

"Splurt!"

A jet of black gas, like a straight spear, pierced through his right shoulder from behind.

"How can this be?!"

Qin Zi was shocked and horrified. At the same time, he felt a paralyzing force invade his body, causing him to go limp.

The power given to him by his master quickly dissipated. His golden hair rapidly turned black and shortened.

"Hmph, trying to escape in front of me?"

A mocking voice came from behind. Qin Zi looked back in despair, only to see the old man slowly emerging from the flames.

A thick black gas surrounded the old man, growing denser and denser, like a dark cloud gradually enveloping the area...

"Master, what should I do?"

Qin Zi asked anxiously in his heart.

"Fight with everything you have!!"

The blonde woman's voice was resolute, and then her soul began to burn intensely, her power once again filling Qin Zi's entire body.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The black gas that had invaded Qin Zi's body was quickly evaporated, and his hair instantly grew long and golden once more.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Golden rings of light burst out from Qin Zi's body, exuding a divine and majestic aura, making him appear like a god descending to earth!

"This is... a divine body?!"

The old man's eyes widened in shock, seemingly overwhelmed, and he momentarily froze.

"Ten Thousand Swords Tribulation!"

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Zi's body radiated endless sword energy. His entire being transformed into a massive ten-meter-long golden sword, charging at the old man with a desperate resolve!

His eyes turned completely golden—this was the blonde woman controlling his body, and this sword technique was one of her special abilities.

Ten Thousand Swords Tribulation! This was a super technique created by a Martial Emperor, with an unmatched offensive power that was nearly unstoppable.

Moreover, it was incredibly fast!

"No!!!"

The old man snapped out of his shock, but it was too late to dodge.

"Splurt!"

The golden sword pierced through him, spraying black blood everywhere. The old man's figure froze.

The giant golden sword continued flying for dozens of meters before coming to a stop, disintegrating on the spot.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Qin Zi panted heavily, his face pale. This move had completely drained him.

He didn't have time to look back and was preparing to flee again when an overwhelming force suddenly pressed down on him.

"Boom!"

Before he could react, he was slammed headfirst into the ground, his body embedding into the earth in a "T" shape.

"Haha... haha... Little brat, that was a vicious move, nearly cost Grandpa his life..."

The old man's eerie laughter echoed.

Qin Zi struggled to turn his head and saw that the old man had been sliced in half. His lower body lay on the ground while his upper body, dripping with black blood, hovered about a meter above the ground, slowly flying toward him.

"But this works out well. You've destroyed my body, and now I can just take over a new one... and what luck, it's a divine body, a rare find in a thousand years."

As the old man approached, he laughed greedily. "I just escaped, and now I run into such a fortunate opportunity. Looks like my luck is turning!"

"What are you planning to do?!"

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Zi felt a surge of intense fear and gritted his teeth to threaten him, "Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me, my father won't let you off!"

Out of options, this was all he could do to threaten him.

"Oh? Even at death's door, you dare threaten me? Then tell me, who is your father? Let's see if I've heard of him."

The old man continued to approach, a mocking smile on his face, his disdain and ridicule evident.

"This..."

Qin Zi's face paled slightly. His father wasn't well-known in this world, so it was hard to bluff.

If the old man didn't know who his father was, it would just seem like he was making it up, and even he felt a bit lacking in confidence.

But then, his eyes widened. "You naturally haven't heard of my father's name. How could a frog in a well like you understand the true power of the strongest?"

"However, if you dare lay a hand on me, my father won't spare you. Even if you become a Martial Emperor, you won't escape death!"

At this point, he was like a cooked duck, only able to put up a strong front.

"Foolish dreaming."

The old man sneered disdainfully. "Let's not even consider whether you have such a father. Even if you do, if he dares to show up in front of me, I could destroy him with one hand!"

Half of his body floated above the ground, standing with his hands behind his back, and a golden light radiated from his forehead, exuding a commanding and arrogant presence.

"Oh really?"

At that moment, a playful voice sounded, slightly mocking, yet with a hint of coldness.

"You!"

The old man's pupils suddenly contracted. He wanted to turn around, but a hand was already pressing down on his head, and an immense force struck him!

"Boom!!"

All he felt was the world spinning as the remaining half of his body was slammed into the ground, his head buried in the dirt!

"Father—"

Qin Zi shouted joyfully, looking at the white-robed figure who had suddenly appeared and was now pinning the once-unrivaled old man to the ground.

At that moment, he was so overwhelmed that he nearly burst into tears.

The instant his father appeared, his previously despairing heart was instantly soothed, filled with an immense sense of security.

With his father around, who could harm him?! In the ring, the blonde woman, whose soul power had burned and whose consciousness was now faint, also let out a relieved smile when she saw the white-robed figure.

This man had finally arrived.

He was invincible.

Any powerful enemy would only be crushed under his feet or... pressed into the mud in front of him.

"You really know how to pick a place. Of all the places, you had to choose one where a demon was sealed for your seclusion."

Qin Chuan teased his son.

"I... I didn't know! It just looked like an ordinary cave, so I went in to heal. Who knew..."

Qin Zi scratched his head awkwardly.

"Buzz!!"

At that moment, a strong golden light spread from the ground. This golden light, like a liquid glaze, instantly covered a radius of a hundred meters.

Suddenly, Qin Zi felt a tremendous pressure descend, almost suffocating him on the spot!

"Soul power!"

He was shocked. This power, unique to Tongtian Realm experts, was similar to mental energy but far stronger.

Soul power was formless and intangible, yet carried terrifying might, capable of overturning seas and rivers with a single thought!

"Hmph, still not behaving."

Qin Chuan looked down at the skull-like head beneath his hand, which was emitting an intensely thick golden light, as if it were burning with golden flames.

Immediately, a golden light also radiated from Qin Chuan's forehead, even more domineering, instantly overwhelming the old man's golden light!

Then, Qin Chuan's right hand exerted force.

"Boom!"

The old man's remaining half of his body exploded, disintegrating completely in a violent and scorching blast.

"Swish!"

A streak of golden light shot out, trying to flee. Upon closer inspection, it was the old man's intact shadow.

This was his soul.

After the Nirvana Realm cultivator had formed the Nirvana Golden Body, it would continuously nourish the soul until the soul transformed into a divine soul.

A divine soul not only possessed powerful soul power but could also exist independently of the body and even take over another's body.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Qin Chuan asked calmly, as a fierce golden light burst from his forehead, a multitude of threads hotter than fire.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

This dense soul power quickly wove together in the air, forming a shadow of a divine furnace.

The moment this divine furnace formed, a tremendous suction erupted, stirring up the surrounding clouds and drawing them into the furnace, like swallowing the heavens.

"Soul Furnace! You're only at the third level of the Tongtian Realm, how could you possibly condense a Soul Furnace?! This is impossible!!"

The old man screamed in terror. His soul, caught in the suction, was dragged back and stretched, eventually tearing apart and being sucked into the furnace.

The Soul Furnace grew even brighter, then returned to Qin Chuan's forehead, and everything returned to normal.

"Father!"

Qin Zi quickly got up from the ground and rushed to his father's side, his eyes burning with curiosity as he asked, "What kind of technique is that?"

"Hehe, it's not a technique, just an ordinary method for a Tongtian Realm expert. You'll have it too once you reach the Tongtian Realm."

Qin Chuan smiled nonchalantly.

"Oh."

Qin Zi nodded, fully believing him.

He didn't know that the so-called "ordinary method" his father mentioned was something that most Tongtian Realm experts would never be able to obtain in their entire lifetime.
