I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years

408 Old Wyrm

Seeing this terrifying scene, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

This was because they saw that the huge black shadow which was about to surface from the water again had a long dragon beard and silver scales.

It was a wyrm!

Qin Chen and the others determined that the other party might already be close to the final stage of transforming into a true dragon.

If the other party managed to achieve such a feat, it would then become a divine beast that had transcended the realm of living beings.

It should be known that the true dragon race had already gone extinct in the world and dragons were very rare. It was unknown if they had gone to other places or had simply died off…

The old wyrm that they were looking at now was already a rare sight. Although it was not a natural-born true dragon, it could indeed transform into a true dragon through acquired efforts.

There was no difference in essence between the two, but the old wyrm had to pay a huge price to achieve such a feat. Qin Chen could instantly sense that the old wyrm had great luck.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have been blessed by the heavens and have the opportunity to occupy the void secret realm with the ancient tree of life.

After all, that was the ancient tree of life. Even a quasi-emperor realm expert might not have seen it before.

The ancient tree of life before their eyes could possibly be the last one in the entire cosmic!

If they were to obtain it, the benefits they would gain would be immeasurable.

There was once a Buddha who attained enlightenment under the ancient tree of life and stepped into the quasi-emperor realm.

From this, it could be seen that the improvement the ancient tree of life gave one was not just limited to rising one’s cultivation realm to the quasi-emperor realm. It was very likely that Qin Chen and the others would gain more benefits from it.

Thinking of this, they looked at the old wyrm with full attention.

The old wyrm was extremely powerful. It stared at Qin Chen and the others, wanting to kill them.

By observing the old wyrm’s aura, they realized that it had already reached the peak of the Great God realm.

As for why the other party had reached a bottleneck in this realm, it was because it had yet to take the most crucial step, which was to transform from a wyrm to a dragon.

When a wyrm transformed into a dragon, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate, completing the transition of life. It would then turn into one of the most powerful divine beasts in the world.

This old wyrm was definitely the luckiest existence. To think it was such blessed by the heavens that it had managed to seize such a great fortune to cultivate beside the ancient tree of life.

This showed how much the other party had gained. There was not a single living being in the void secret realm, but there should have been many in the past, and they were, unfortunately, all killed by the old wyrm.

When the old wyrm saw Qin Chen and the others, apprehension rose in its heart.

At the thought of this, the old wyrm was ready to attack Qin Chen and the others. Even if the latter were to use their full strength, they might not be the old wyrm’s match.

After all, the old wyrm had reached the peak of the Great God realm!

The peak of a realm was not something that ordinary people could imagine. To be able to reach such a realm showed that the old wyrm was very powerful.

In an instant, the old wyrm floated in the air and spat out a bolt of lightning!

The thunderbolt was like a white light that pierced through the sky, charging toward the crowd.

If they were hit, their bodies and souls might be destroyed in an instant. Even their primordial spirit would not be able to escape. At that time, they would not even be able to reincarnate.

However, Qin Chen and the others moved to block the attack. The black palm print that Holy Maiden Mu Xue had left on Qin Chen’s wrist started working.

The boundless energy in Holy Maiden Mu Xue’s body was thus converted into divine power by the black palm print and entered Qin Chen’s body.

In an instant, the divine power in Qin Chen’s body surged wildly. He felt as if his meridians were about to explode.

With a firm grip on the innate sword embryo, he poured all his divine power into it, providing it with endless support. With that, the innate sword embryo burst out with a terrifying emperor’s might!

The energy of chaos filled the air, shocking everyone. Then, the energy fiercely collided with the thunderbolt in front of them.

The innate sword embryo in Qin Chen’s hand slashed out a beam of sword energy. Accompanied by boundless emperor’s might, the chaotic sword energy collided with the thunderbolt!

It caused a violent explosion!

Unfortunately, the old wyrm still gained the upper hand in the end. The thunderbolt did not slow down at all, and it struck Qin Chen’s body ruthlessly.

In just a single exchange, Qin Chen was covered in blood and severely injured. His Chaotic Divine Body hung in tatters from the thunderbolt to the point his white bones could vaguely be seen.

Looking at the old wyrm, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

The old wyrm was so powerful. Even the Elder King was in such a sorry state from the clash, unable to withstand a single blow.

At the same time, Holy Maiden Mu Xue rushed to Qin Chen’s side. Her heart ached when she saw his injuries. She fed him her natural treasures to help him recover.

Qin Chen shook his head.

He had been observing the old wyrm. The old fellow clearly had some secrets. Otherwise, it would have long broken through.

Yet, the old wyrm had yet to break through. Why?

The only highly plausible reason was that the other party had not obtained the true benefits of the ancient tree of life. Could it be that it was unable to approach the ancient tree of life?

One had to know that an expert had once taken away a branch of the ancient tree of life. Logically speaking, since the old wyrm was powerful, no restriction should be able to stop it.

So, why was it still stuck at the bottleneck? The only explanation was that the bottleneck was the real obstacle it was facing such that it could not obtain the true benefits of the ancient tree of life!

Otherwise, the old wyrm might have already taken the final step and completed the transition of life, becoming a divine beast and a member of the true dragon race in the world.

At the thought of this, Qin Chen said, “Stop!

He didn’t know if the old wyrm could understand him, but seeing that the other party did stop, he knew that the old wyrm could definitely understand human language.

Qin Chen continued, “If you want to break through faster, why don’t we join hands to obtain the ancient tree of life’s benefits? In this way, we’ll all benefit from it and each of us can get what we need. Isn’t that great?”

After Qin Chen finished his sentence, he gasped for air. His injuries were not ordinary. At this moment, he looked at the old wyrm and saw that the latter seemed to be seriously thinking about it.

With that, he knew that there was a chance of success for the matter. If he could persuade the old wyrm to join forces with him and seize the ancient tree of life’s fortune, so what if he gave the other party some benefits and helped it to become a dragon?

Once the old wyrm had made a breakthrough and transformed into a true dragon, the ancient tree of life would no longer be of any value to it.

The old wyrm pondered for a while before finally nodding.
