Chapter 684 - 372: The Pursuer—Nine Inches vs. Nine Inches!

Before long, an extremely subtle Escape Light indeed appeared silently and abruptly on the horizon in the distance, and after a few quick flickers, it emerged in the void not far ahead.

"You really came."

Upon seeing this, Qi Chuan smiled faintly, lifted his eyelids, and calmly said with a smile, "Taiyan Great True Monarch!"

As the words "Taiyan Great True Monarch" fell, that subtle Escape Light in the void ahead slowly dissipated, revealing a very ordinary-looking, unremarkable middle-aged man.

It was precisely the Taiyan Great True Monarch!

At this moment, the opponent's body was openly emitting the terrifying Spiritual Pressure that only a Nine Inches Great True Monarch could possess. He glanced at Qi Chuan coldly and said icily, "Did you know I would come?"

"I didn't know."

However, Qi Chuan shook his head.

"It's just that your breath concealment was not secretive enough, and I detected it."

Although he hadn't met this person in the Kunlun Demon Realm, this person had a hint of killing intent towards him.

At the beginning, Qi Chuan really didn't expect that the other party would secretly pursue him, after they left the Kunlun Demon Realm.

Just as he said, it was indeed during the journey that, due to his powerful Divine Soul, he detected it.

"Ah."

However, Taiyan Great True Monarch shook his head lightly at this.

In his opinion, as a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, Concealing Breath Divine Techniques were his strong suit.

How could he be detected by the opponent?

It was probably just that the opposing party guessed he was pursuing him and said such things to create suspense, that's all.

However, what puzzled him was that since this person had sensed he was going to pursue him, he still split with the Great True Monarch Qing Gang, didn't flee, and stopped and waited for him, which he didn't expect.

Could it be that the person thought he might be his match, so he stopped confidently and wanted to talk with him? It's somewhat absurd.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the person was trying to do.

But Qi Chuan didn't care much about his inner thoughts.

At this moment, Qi Chuan looked curiously at the Taiyan Great True Monarch, with some doubt, and asked, "Taiyan Great True Monarch, before entering the Kunlun Demon Realm, I sensed a hint of killing intent from you. However, I'm curious why you would have killing intent towards me? As far as I understand, we haven't had many entanglements, right?"

"Hmm? You sensed a hint of killing intent from me before entering the Kunlun Demon Realm? It seems your perception is quite sharp." Upon hearing this, Taiyan Great True Monarch looked a bit more highly at Qi Chuan.

Immediately, facing Qi Chuan's doubts, he didn't mind much and straightforwardly explained the reason: "Nebula and those three guys value you so highly; I'm thinking there must be some secret or trait on you that makes these three value you so much, hence my desire to investigate."

"Merely that?" Qi Chuan slightly widened his eyes, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Merely that." Taiyan Great True Monarch nodded slowly; he had no reason to deceive Qi Chuan, for in his view, Qi Chuan was right at his fingertips, a fish in his grasp, unable to escape.

"That really... surprised me a bit." Qi Chuan slowly exhaled.

"Will you tell me yourself, or should I kill you first and then search?" Taiyan Great True Monarch stared at Qi Chuan, speaking with an indifferent tone.

"Anyone who desires something must pay a price, which is unavoidable." Qi Chuan shook his head and said.

"Hmm, this statement has some truth," Taiyan Great True Monarch nodded lightly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take action myself."

"Flame Wheel Spirit King Disc."

As his words fell, he immediately formed a spell and displayed one of his very proficient Attacking Divine Techniques.

Within his body, the terrifying Spiritual Pressure of a Nine Inches Great True Monarch spread wantonly. Supported by the vast foundation of his Nascent Soul, a jade disc of dozens of feet was condensed and emerged in the void.

This jade disc was engraved with many strange patterns.

Moreover, surrounding the jade disc was swirling bright green flames, emitting a frightening temperature.

The jade disc carried massive power, grinding across the void, while the bright green flames scorched the void.

With the mana supply of the Nine Inches Nascent Soul, its might was exceptionally frightening.

As long as a Great True Monarch has not reached the Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm, no matter how high their cultivation or how strong their abilities, they would undoubtedly change color and face this powerful attack as if facing a formidable enemy.

After employing this technique, Taiyan Great True Monarch coldly watched Qi Chuan.

Secretly, he did not underestimate or act carelessly, still preparing more methods.

But within his heart, he genuinely believed that, even when facing this single move, with Qi Chuan's shallow experience among Great True Monarchs, he might not necessarily withstand it.

However, this person is ultimately someone valued by those Nebula guys, and he might have some tricks, so when dealing with this person, he was willing to take him seriously and face him with full power.

At this moment, he was wondering how the traits of this person would manifest.

Or in other words, facing himself, could the opponent have the opportunity to express them?

This is ultimately something that must be questioned.

However, things often don't go as expected.

Just as Taiyan Great True Monarch was contemplating this internally, Qi Chuan slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at the Flame Wheel Spirit King Disc, carried by Taiyan Great True Monarch's terrifying Nine Inches Nascent Soul foundation and rolling through the void threateningly towards him, and he moved.

One move, and it was thunderous.

"Just a Nine Inches Nascent Soul, nothing extraordinary."

Qi Chuan spoke, his words making Taiyan Great True Monarch feel somewhat absurd.

However, the next moment, he could no longer laugh.

"Because... I am one too..."

Along with Qi Chuan's calm words, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure no weaker than Taiyan Great True Monarch's erupted like a storm from Qi Chuan's body, sweeping layer by layer.

This Spiritual Pressure, upon appearing, immediately drove away the dominance of the former, forming a confrontational scene.

Additionally, what made Taiyan Great True Monarch feel even more startled was that he sensed a subtle feeling of suppression facing Qi Chuan's Spiritual Pressure.

"Water-Suppressing Profound Seal."

Qi Chuan formed a routine spell, still manifesting a dozens-of-feet large pitch-black Giant Seal, facing Taiyan Great True Monarch's Flame Wheel Spirit King Disc.

Boom!

The two collided heavily in the void, the sound echoing, shaking the void, and waves of magical combat aftermath spread like a hurricane, stirring up tsunamis on the sea below.

Qi Chuan's gaze was indifferent, with no signs of worry in his eyes.

While Taiyan Great True Monarch stared fixedly at the scene in the void, where the Water-Suppressing Profound Seal was confronting his Flame Wheel Spirit King Disc.

One breath.

Two breaths.

What made his heart sink slightly was that the pitch-black Giant Seal Divine Techniques of Qi Chuan actually withstood his Flame Wheel Spirit King Disc.

This represents that the terrifying Spiritual Pressure released by Qi Chuan's body, comparable to that of a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, was not fake but was due to actual cultivation.

This means he finally discovered why the three Nebula Great True Monarch guys valued Qi Chuan so much.

Turns out, it wasn't due to some mysterious trait, but simply because this person was in the same realm as them, the Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm!
