Chapter 2517 - 2207: That Was Merely a Special Divine Skill of Mine

The terrifying power contained in the Death Light released by Lu Chen far exceeded the power limit that an Early-stage Emperor Realm Spirit Martial Artist could endure, even if Lu Chen were to fight across realms, he shouldn’t be able to release such frightening power.

Therefore, Chu Yuqin felt that this power didn’t belong to Lu Chen, but was the inherited strength from the Ancient Ruins.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s query, Lu Chen sighed slightly and said, "It seems Madam Chu still doesn’t believe me. I’ve already said that the so-called Ancient Ruins are merely the sealing place of Peerless Calamity, and there is no Ancient Inheritance."

Chu Yuqin still looked at Lu Chen with suspicion: "Can you explain what that power just now was then?"

Lu Chen responded with a smile, "That was merely one of my special Divine Skills."

Divine Skills? Chu Yuqin was slightly taken aback.

Unlike Martial Arts, Divine Skills are innate attributes, and only a small portion of humanity in the world possesses them.

However, if Lu Chen was truly a reincarnation of some Great Power, then having Divine Skills would be normal.

But regardless of whether Lu Chen used Martial Arts or Divine Skills, people would simply believe he used inherited strength.

Lu Chen wasn’t crossing a minor realm, but a major realm.

As realms progress, the enhancement of strength becomes more fearsome.

It’s almost impossible to defeat an enemy across major realms, and even if one could defeat an enemy across grades, it would be within a minor realm, such as an early-stage Saint Realm defeating a mid-stage Saint Realm enemy.

Examples like Lu Chen, an Early-stage Emperor Realm killing a Saint Realm powerhouse across grades, are virtually non-existent in Central State.

Once Central State powers react, they will surely suspect Lu Chen of mastering inherited strength, thus possessing such terrifying power.

By then, those powers may dispatch even stronger entities to besiege Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin suddenly had another guess.

Lu Chen’s recent actions had already stunned various Central State powers, frightening all the Saint Realm powerhouses to flee from this place.

Once they return, they might change strategy and attempt to recruit Lu Chen instead.

After all, above Saint Realm is the Emperor Realm powerhouse, a cornerstone of a force, and no entity willingly lets Emperor Realm powerhouses easily act.

Emperor Realm powerhouses haven’t appeared publicly for millennia.

Meaning Lu Chen’s crisis may have already been resolved, and no powerhouse would easily act against Lu Chen henceforth.

Of course, probing still couldn’t be avoided.

Surely some would think that inherited strength was merely one-time, but without probing Lu Chen’s true strength, various powers likely wouldn’t allow Saint Realm powerhouses to assassinate Lu Chen again.

If so, it’s not good news for Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

If there’s no crisis, Lu Chen wouldn’t need to rely on any force, naturally he wouldn’t need to join Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Then how would he make Lu Chen become a disciple of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?

As Chu Yuqin contemplated how to recruit Lu Chen next, Lu Chen’s voice came: "Madam Chu, we should return."

Before Chu Yuqin could react, Lu Chen had returned to the Small World once again.

Seeing Lu Chen leave, Chu Yuqin hurriedly followed.

Upon returning to the Small World, all the women gathered around immediately.

Ji Yunmeng asked, "Did you encounter any danger when you left the Small World?"

Lu Chen replied, "Didn’t encounter danger."

Xue Linglong asked, "What’s the situation outside now then?"

Lu Chen replied, "Those forces have already left."

Hear Lu Chen’s words, Xue Linglong skeptically asked, "Really? Are they not after the Ancient Inheritance anymore?"

Central State powers have guarded the Border Wilderness for so many years, how could they suddenly give up like that?

Xue Linglong couldn’t help but think, if those Central State powers retreated, wouldn’t the Sky Demon Sect have a chance?

If the Sky Demon Sect elders block the relic exit, as long as Lu Chen dares to leave the Small World, they can forcibly bring Lu Chen to the Sky Demon Sect.

At this moment Wu Junwan asked, "Did something happen outside the Small World?"

Wu Junwan didn’t believe those Central State powers would leave Dazhou without any sign and abandon the Ancient Inheritance.

Those forces would abandon the Ancient Inheritance for only two possible reasons.

Either a war broke out in Central State, requiring the Saint Realm powerhouses to return to participate.

Or something happened outside, forcing them to abandon the Ancient Inheritance.

Wu Junwan leaned more towards the second possibility.

After all, Central State powers have reached a balanced state, under normal circumstances, large-scale wars won’t occur, instead, they might unite to besiege the Sky Demon Sect.

However, even if they were to besiege the Sky Demon Sect, it wouldn’t require the full force of the entire entity.

These Saint Realms needn’t return to partake in the siege against the Sky Demon Sect’s war.

Upon hearing Wu Junwan’s question, Lu Chen said, "Nothing happened."

Lu Chen didn’t intend to tell them about his instant kill of a Saint Realm, after all, that power itself wasn’t lasting, merely one-time.

However, just as Lu Chen finished speaking, Chu Yuqin nearby said, "He just instantly killed a Saint Realm powerhouse."

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, everyone present froze.

Instantly killing a Saint Realm powerhouse, how could that be possible???

Lu Chen has just broken through to Emperor Realm, how could he possess such terrifying strength?

Chu Yuqin wouldn’t joke with them, would she?

Though Chu Yuqin is a Saint Realm powerhouse herself, she shouldn’t be that bored.

Could what she said actually be true?

Just breaking through the King Realm and crossing major realms, instant killing a Saint Realm.

When Lu Chen breaks through to Saint Realm then, wouldn’t he possess Emperor Realm strength?

Now, Wu Junwan and other women from Central State powers looked at Lu Chen with a different gaze, their eyes gleaming with gold.

They must win over Lu Chen, if he joins their powers, it would mean having an Emperor Realm.

Given Lu Chen’s breakthrough speed, it’s estimated within 20 years, he could break through to Saint Realm.

At this moment, Yelv Nanyan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Lu Chen, which force did you kill that Saint Realm powerhouse from?"

Lu Chen replied, "Uh... I don’t know either."

Lu Chen had never been to Central State, he indeed didn’t know which forces were there, nor where those Holy Realm Elders belonged.

Now, Yelv Nanyan’s gaze turned to Chu Yuqin.

Though unfamiliar with Central State, Chu Yuqin surely recognized those Holy Realm Elders.

Chu Yuqin said coldly, "Wind and Cloud Tower, Pan Rui."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s reply, the women finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing Lu Chen would attack elders from forces they belonged to.

If a Holy Realm from their force died, it would definitely be a huge loss for them.

At this time, Lu Chen said, "Alright, you all go back, I need to further consolidate my realm."

After speaking, Lu Chen headed towards the Cultivation Room.

Just as Lu Chen returned to the Cultivation Room, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly underwent a huge change, the women looked at one another with thick hostility.

Now Lu Chen was like a shining golden mountain, each wanted to bring Lu Chen to their power, having Lu Chen go with them.
