Chapter 2516 - 2206: How Can an Emperor Realm Be So Strong?

Lu Chen was well aware how dangerous it was outside, but the terrifying power contained in his middle finger—if he didn’t release it, it might very well backfire on him.

He couldn’t refine this power, he had to vent it.

But if he used this kind of power in the Small World, what if it damaged the Small World?

He could feel that this energy was extremely terrifying, very likely already surpassing the strongest strike of the Saint Realm.

To be safe, it was better to go outside the ruins to release this power.

A moment later, Lu Chen flew out from the vortex of the ruins.

He had just left the entrance of the ruins when the Emperor Realm aura on his body instantly shrouded all of Dazhou.

At this moment, the Saint Realm experts of the various factions felt a stir in their hearts. They didn’t hesitate at all, nor did they send people to investigate; they directly moved and flew toward the entrance of the ruins.

In just a short while, several Saint Realm experts appeared in the sky above the ruins.

Those Saint Realm experts hadn’t seen Lu Chen before, but seeing him floating above the vortex, while the soldiers of the various forces were all on full alert, staring at that Emperor Realm Spirit Martial Artist above the vortex, everyone could guess that he was Lu Chen.

After all, among those who entered the ruins, only Lu Chen could have this level of strength.

But what puzzled everyone was, when Lu Chen entered the ruins, wasn’t he only at the King Realm?

How was he at the Emperor Realm now?

His speed of improvement was way too fast, wasn’t it?

The inheritance really must be on him!

Otherwise there was no way to explain why his strength had risen so quickly.

For a moment, greed flashed in the eyes of all the Saint Realm experts.

At this time Wei Yang shouted, "You’re Lu Chen?"

Lu Chen didn’t speak. He slightly raised his right hand, pointed his middle finger at the sky, and flipped everyone off with a middle finger.

Although people didn’t know what that meant, seeing Lu Chen’s calm, expressionless face, they immediately realized this was not a friendly gesture.

At this moment Pan Rui of the Wind and Cloud Tower could no longer hold back. He snorted coldly and said, "Why waste so many words on him? Just grab him and Soul Search him directly, the inheritance is definitely on him."

As he said that, Pan Rui released his Saint Realm aura. In the next moment, a small golden tower appeared in his hand.

Immediately after, Pan Rui activated the Golden Tower. The tower instantly expanded to several hundred zhang high, crushing down toward Lu Chen.

At the same time, another figure emerged from within the vortex.

Chu Yuqin concealed her aura and altered her appearance, afraid of exposing her true Identity.

Watching that gigantic golden tower smash down toward Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin’s expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to make a move to help Lu Chen block that golden giant tower, she saw Lu Chen slowly raise his right hand, forming a strange gesture at Pan Rui with his index finger, middle finger, and thumb, and then a black Death Light suddenly shot out from Lu Chen’s index finger.

Before the crowd could react, that Death Light had already arrived in front of Pan Rui.

Pan Rui was just about to dodge, but it was already too late.

The black Death Light instantly pierced through his head, and his body slowly dissipated like black smoke.

Seeing this scene, all the Saint Realm experts present were dumbfounded.

One strike, he only used a single strike!!!

Wasn’t the aura on him an Emperor Realm aura?

How could an Emperor Realm be this strong?

What had they just seen?

What the hell was going on?

Why was Lu Chen’s strength so overwhelming?

The faces of the Saint Realm experts all turned deathly pale, chills running down their spines.

Each Saint Realm present had lived for over a thousand years, yet they had never seen a being that could instantly kill a Saint Realm. After all, Emperor Realm powerhouses almost never made a move.

If it had been an Emperor Realm expert, instant-killing a Saint Realm would still be somewhat reasonable, but the aura on Lu Chen was only that of the Emperor Realm.

That Death Light was too terrifying. The instant the black Death Light shot out, a sense of looming death enveloped everyone’s hearts, making it impossible to even raise the thought of resisting.

Could it be that this was the power bestowed upon Lu Chen by the Ancient Inheritance?

No, they couldn’t keep standing around watching. Run, they had to run!

Once the Saint Realms present snapped out of it, they didn’t hesitate at all and all turned into tunneling light, disappearing.

The Disciples of the various forces saw their Holy Realm Elders all fleeing, so they hurriedly boarded their Flying Boats and swiftly escaped from Dazhou.

In an instant, the scene was thrown into chaos, Flying Boats rising into the sky one after another.

Seeing this chaotic scene, Chu Yuqin’s emotions were extremely complicated.

She had originally thought that if Lu Chen wanted to leave the Small World, escape Dazhou, and get out of danger, he could only rely on their Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

But now it seemed that even without her, without the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, if Lu Chen wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop him.

With one move, just a single move, Lu Chen had annihilated a Saint Realm expert, and it was even a veteran Saint Realm.

That was Pan Rui of the Wind and Cloud Tower—the Pan Rui who had lived for nearly ten thousand years—yet Lu Chen had just pointed a finger and killed him.

Lu Chen was only at the Emperor Realm and could already cross a major Realm to slaughter a Saint Realm. Once he broke through to the Saint Realm, wouldn’t he be able to trade blows with the Emperor Realm?

Could it be that the Ancient Inheritance really was on Lu Chen?

But then again, even if the Ancient Inheritance really was on Lu Chen, it seemed they no longer had any way to deal with him.

The strength Lu Chen had just displayed was enough to make any Holy Land wary.

After all, he could kill a Saint Realm in one move, and Saint Realm experts were the pillars of each major faction. The death of a single Saint Realm was an enormous loss for those forces in the Central State.

Chu Yuqin suddenly felt that the reason Lu Chen had left the Small World the moment he broke through, and immediately killed a Saint Realm expert, was mainly to show his strength to her, to let her know he wasn’t someone who could be easily manipulated.

This was going to be trouble.

Previously she’d been thinking that if Lu Chen was unwilling to go with her to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, then they would just use force to take him away.

Now that Lu Chen could even kill a Saint Realm, if they really started fighting then, she might very well not be his match.

Seeing that all the Saint Realm experts of the various factions had fled, Lu Chen wondered if he should take this chance to lead his people out of the Border Wilderness.

After mulling it over for a moment, Lu Chen ultimately gave up on that idea.

The reason he had been able to kill that Saint Realm expert just now was mainly because after fusing the Undying Bone, the Undying Bone itself contained a terrifying power, and he had merely released that power.

Under normal circumstances, if he just used the Undying Bone as usual, it probably wouldn’t have such devastating lethality.

So escaping the Border Wilderness right now would still be extremely risky for him.

If he happened to encounter several Saint Realms ambushing him while leaving the Border Wilderness, he might not be able to beat those Saint Realms.

Better to keep turtling for now. Once he broke through to the Saint Realm, then he could make plans.

Given how fast his Realm was rising now, as long as his wives and concubines could give him two more children, he’d probably be able to break through to the Saint Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Chu Yuqin beside him.

Seeing Lu Chen suddenly turn his head and look at her, Chu Yuqin immediately became wary.

Lu Chen had just killed a Saint Realm, which made Chu Yuqin extremely apprehensive of him now, afraid that Lu Chen might make a move against her.

Seeing Chu Yuqin staring at him with such vigilance, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Madam Chu, why are you looking at me like that? It’s not like I’m going to eat you."

Chu Yuqin said coolly, "I can feel that the power just now didn’t belong to you; that was power from the inheritance, wasn’t it?"
