Chapter 409, Shocking Appearance of a Heavenly Martial Artist

Translator: Silavin

 

After absorbing the Orange Demonic Heart Flame, Qin Yichen felt much more reassured about his Gluttonous Martial Soul. Along the way, he was no longer hindered by the fire snakes, and soon, he reached the end of the sea of fire, his figure passing through without any hesitation.

 

After emerging from the entrance, what appeared before Qin Yichen’s eyes was a vast space of dark grey. In this space, there were several majestic ancient temples. These ancient temples were interconnected, and at n their very centre, there seemed to be a huge stone monument standing erect.

 

“Hey beautiful, if you don’t hand over the item, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Before Qin Yichen could take in his surroundings, Qiu Jizhuo’s cold voice reached his ears.

 

Looking toward the source of the voice, Qin Yichen discovered that Qiu Jizhuo was staring at a beautiful figure with a gloomy expression. That beautiful figure was actually someone Qin Yichen had caught a glimpse of before entering the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area.

 

It was the woman who had flashed past him!

 

However, he did not know what she had obtained that Qiu Jizhuo coveted.

 

The woman just looked at him silently, neither alarmed nor afraid. Unlike Yi Jian and the others, she showed no fear of his status.

 

Qiu Jizhuo was filled with frustration.

 

Since entering Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area, everything had gone against him, and others had always beaten him to everything.

 

First, it was the Mortality Flower, and now this.

 

Although the woman before him had a charm comparable to the greatest beauties, he showed no intention of being merciful.

 

The woman’s silence made Qiu Jizhuo’s killing intent rise.

 

“Fool! You don’t know what’s good for you!” He snorted coldly, his figure leaping up with a whistling sound, his fingers directly grabbing for the woman’s neck, showing no signs of mercy.

 

If this grab connected, even if her neck were made of steel, it would be twisted into two.

 

Faced with his attack, the woman remained composed, merely extending a jade-like finger and pointing forward.

 

Instantly, a visible ripple spread out, and Qiu Jizhuo, who was charging toward her, groaned under the impact of that ripple and was forced to retreat.

 

“How is this possible!?” Qiu Jizhuo stared in shock, looking at the woman in light clothing in disbelief.

 

Under that attack, he had felt a force that he could not resist! It was a kind of power that was hard for him to describe.

 

Although the woman was at the same cultivation level as him, the gap between them was like Heaven and Earth! He even felt his life threatened by that attack.

 

Sweat dripped from his cheeks, and at this moment, a desire to flee from this place welled up from the depths of his heart.

 

[This power…] In the distance, Qin Yichen, who had just witnessed the scene, had his eyes narrowed.

 

As an Alchemy Master, he was very sensitive to fluctuations in Spiritual Energy, so he could feel that when the woman pointed, there was a surge of Spiritual Energy.

 

[But that power was not just Spiritual Energy power; it seemed to… be mixed with a Yuan Energy Attribute as well!]

 

Spiritual Energy and Yuan Energy Attribute, concentrated in one person, could only mean one thing…

 

[A Heavenly Martial Artist?] Although the woman had not displayed her Martial Soul, Qin Yichen, having encountered Heavenly Martial Artists before, unveiled her identity.

 

At this moment, even Qin Yichen could not remain calm.

 

He had not expected to encounter a Heavenly Martial Artist in such a place!

 

This was also the first Heavenly Martial Artist he had met in this life. And this Heavenly Martial Artist was actually a woman.

 

Regarding Heavenly Martial Artists, no one understood them more than Qin Yichen. It could be said that Heavenly Martial Artists were the foundation of the Human Race’s foothold on the continent.

 

The Human Race had strong potential, but they were naturally weaker than the other Races. In fact, the Human Race did not have any natural specialties like the other Races.

 

In terms of Spiritual Energy, Humans were inferior to the Phantom Race.

 

In terms of Physique and strength, Humans were even more feeble, arguably the weakest Race on the continent.

 

But Humans produced Heavenly Martial Artists, an anomalous existence. The strength of each Heavenly Martial Artist was enough to make various Great Races tremble in fear!

 

In the past, although Qin Yichen was an Alchemy Saint, his status could not be compared to that of Heavenly Martial Artists. Also, since he was not a Martial Artist, Qin Yichen had no clear idea how to leverage the advantages of a Heavenly Martial Artist to suppress his enemies.

 

But the woman before him wielded her two powers very proficiently.

 

If she had only learned through self-exploration, she would never have reached such a high level. This meant that behind this woman, there was someone guiding her!

 

This was also why the woman did not take Qiu Jizhuo seriously at all.

 

Perhaps, in her eyes, Qiu Jizhuo was nothing but a clown.

 

And indeed, that was the case.

 

After repelling Qiu Jizhuo, the woman did not have the interest in continuing dealing with him.

 

Perhaps sensing Qin Yichen’s gaze, she turned her head, glanced at Qin Yichen’s position, and then drifted toward the group of ancient temples like a breeze.

 

“Huff… huff…” After she left, Qiu Jizhuo realised that sweat had soaked through his clothes, and during that moment, he had not even dared to move.

 

“Damn it!” He looked venomously in the direction the woman had gone to, his eyes shifting, then he took out a jade token, gritted his teeth, and crushed it.

 

Although he very much wanted to keep that item for himself, he had no ability to take it from that woman.

 

What he had crushed was a Communication Token that only Northern Depths Sect’s Core Disciples possessed. Once crushed, all Northern Depths Sect Disciples in this area would gather.

 

[Why would she come here?] Meanwhile, Qin Yichen’s concern was completely different from his.

 

As a Heavenly Martial Artist, this woman was already naturally gifted. Perhaps, she was even cultivated by some formidable figure. Her appearance in Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area indicated that there was something in the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area that attracted even someone like her.

 

[Something beneficial to Heavenly Martial Artists!?] Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed.

 

In his previous life, he had no Attributes, no Martial Soul, but in this life, the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl had bestowed these great gifts upon him.

 

Evidently, although he too was a Heavenly Martial Artist, he had not actually grasped the essence of being a Heavenly Martial Artist, not even the basics.

 

If there was something beneficial to Heavenly Martial Artists in this Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area, he definitely did not want to miss it.

 

[This is getting interesting…] After Qiu Jizhuo left, Qin Yichen’s figure moved toward the direction the woman had gone.

 

Time was running short.

 

But more and more people were entering Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area, and the competition was becoming increasingly fierce. Blood was being spilled everywhere, bones littered the ground, making it seem like purgatory.

 

Humans generally could not control their desires; as long as there was a sliver of possibility, they would fight to the death for their desires.

 

There were many who, despite knowing they were like moths flying towards the flame, still rushed into the entrance in countless numbers. However, those below the Martial King Realm could not escape their fate, and they all perished in the raging fire.
