Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Emergence of the Emperor’s Weapon

"Roar!"

Finally, a mournful cry echoed in the ears, and everyone could see the huge body of the ancient creature crashing heavily to the ground.

It was now covered in wounds, beaten to the brink of death by Ji Chen, and after struggling on the ground for a few moments, it completely ceased to breathe.

The entire scene was silent, the falling of a needle could be heard.

Everyone was extraordinarily shocked, eyes filled with disbelief, staring blankly at everything that transpired.

Who would have thought that Ji Chen really subdued this ancient creature with his bare hands?

This was a creature whose defenses couldn’t even be breached by a Holy Weapon or Nine Dragon True Body.

"Th-thank you!"

Qin Yin was also in a dazed state, and it wasn’t until Ji Chen slowly descended to the ground in front of him that Qin Yin snapped back to his senses and hurriedly clasped his fists towards Ji Chen.

Ji Chen said nothing, only nodded his head.

He passed by here, not intending to meddle.

But considering his loyalty to the Qin Family, he finally chose to intervene.

After all, no matter the circumstances, he had been impersonating Qin Chen after ten years in the Secret Realm.

Most importantly, much of his current Holy Technique and Martial Techniques were derived from the Qin Family.

Without words, just a nod in greeting, Ji Chen intended to leave, continue advancing deeper into the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range.

"Brother Ji, wait a moment."

Qin Yin called to him, stepping forward.

Ji Chen paused, looking over once more.

"Buzz!"

Qin Yin flipped his hand to reveal some items, directly handing them to Ji Chen.

"These Holy Medicines, I found them in the mountains in the last few days. Brother Ji, you saved our lives, please accept them."

Looking at the Holy Medicines Qin Yin offered, Ji Chen remained silent, after a moment clasping his fists to Qin Yin, "Thank you."

He didn’t refuse; Ji Chen accepted them all. These Holy Medicines might aid Qu Luoning’s recovery.

Finally, he transformed into a Tunneling Light, quickly darting away into the distant void, soon disappearing from Qin Yin and the others’ view.

By now, Ji Chen felt there was no longer any reason to conceal his strength.

And he was in urgent need of Holy Medicines, better to arrive first before others snatch them.

"Swoosh!"

He deployed his speed, heading to the locations marked on the map as fast as possible.

After spending about two days, he had visited all the Holy Medicine sites deep within the mountains.

Though some places had already been picked clean by others, there were still many locations where Ji Chen was the first to arrive and successfully found the Holy Medicines there.

Three days later, after assessing his gains, he found his collection of Holy Medicines had surpassed over a hundred varieties, each with different effects. Those potentially beneficial for Qu Luoning were grouped together, intending to have them sent back to Lingyun Sacred Land after returning to Divine River City, though the outcome remained uncertain.

"Rumbling..."

Just as Ji Chen thought of leaving the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range.

Suddenly, a violent trembling sensation arose.

As if the earth within a thousand-mile radius was shaking, some mountains thus collapsed.

In the forests, birds and beasts fled in panic.

"Hmm?"

This unexpected change caused Ji Chen to narrow his eyes.

His gaze turned towards the direction from which the tremor originated, clearly sensing a terrifying aura emanating continuously.

"Emperor’s Weapon!"

Ji Chen’s eyes flashed with a keen light, recognizing the aura of an Emperor’s Weapon.

After a moment’s silence, he proceeded without hesitation into the mountain.

"Swoosh!"

Maximizing his speed, Ji Chen rushed towards the location of the Emperor’s Weapon.

If it wasn’t encountered, so be it, but now, with the Emperor’s Weapon right before him, he couldn’t possibly refrain from competing for it.

Moreover, possessing the Hongmeng Body, he could isolate all the Forbidden Powers within the mountains, competing with a huge advantage with his Great Saint Realm Cultivation!

Moving at full speed, soon a clearing appeared ahead of Ji Chen.

Here, no flora grew, only an expanse of endless sand.

Aside from Ji Chen, obvious that the cultivators scattered throughout the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range had also sensed the emergence of the Emperor’s Weapon and were all rushing towards here, some even using Magical Treasures, forcibly stimulating their Spiritual Power, arriving by flight.

When Ji Chen arrived, the clearing was already packed with numerous people, thousands at least upon glancing.

Most of these people were teams from the nine Great Emperor Clans of Divine River City, but also many lone Loose Cultivators like Ji Chen.

Those who made it here relying on their own strength were definitely not ordinary, most were in possession of powerful Magical Treasures.

The plain stretched endlessly, the crowd steadily advancing.

Ji Chen followed the flow, after about half an hour, finally saw a massive gorge fissure before him.

The fissure was endlessly deep, extending both ways without end, as if penetrating the entire Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range.

Clearly sensed, beneath the fissure, a breathtaking aura was erupting continuously, mingled with a dreadful momentum that made one’s scalp tingle.

Obviously, the Emperor’s Weapon was most likely located beneath the ground fissure.

Without hesitation, numerous cultivators who had arrived swiftly surged like locusts towards the fissure, quickly advancing towards its depths.

Ji Chen followed within the crowd, inconspicuous.

The Zhao Family’s team also arrived, just ahead not far, but now, everyone’s focus was evidently on the Emperor’s Weapon, thus none noticed Ji Chen’s presence.

Soon reaching the fissure’s edge, looking down, it was endlessly deep, yet not steep, reachable by walking.

Yet some couldn’t hold back, aiming to use Magical Treasure to channel Spiritual Power, attempting rapid descent via flying.

But soon they discovered, this was utterly unfeasible.

Due to the terrifying aura erupting beneath the fissure, which pulverized their Magical Treasures.

Moreover, even some powerful members of the Great Emperor Clans attempted using Holy Weapons, only to find even Holy Weapons shivered uncontrollably before this force, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

This situation unequivocally discouraged any thought of using Magical Treasures, all swiftly descending on foot.

Ji Chen also followed the crowd downward.

This fissure was extremely deep, nearly half an hour of descent finally reached the bottom.

Looking around, the ground below was studded with oddly shaped Crystal Stones, glowing faintly, illuminating the area without hindering vision.
