These were the flesh and bones that the other party had tempered thousands of times. After reassembling them, he would be able to return to his peak with some cultivation.
However, if he lost this hand, although he could regrow it, the strength would be far inferior.
An ancient Sage like him would not give up any part of his body unless he had no other choice.
However, Qin Chen was not going to let this mysterious ancient Sage off so easily for performing a sneak attack on him. He snorted, “You want to leave? How can it be that easy?!”
He raised his fist again, but this time, he used the emperor-level supernormal knowledge, the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, and punched in the direction of the retreating palm. Immediately, the starry sky exploded and the mysterious ancient Sage in the dark was hit.
Blood spattered and the star fragment belt within a radius of ten thousand miles was dyed red.
It was obvious that the mysterious ancient Sage was injured and thus wanted to continue attacking. However, in the next moment, Qin Chen swung his fist three times in a row, dispersing the heavenly tribulation that covered a radius of more than a hundred thousand miles, turning it into tribulation light that filled the sky like stars.
Then, Qin Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, devouring the light. With the circulation of the Resurrection Technique, his injuries recovered in an instant, and his spirit and power also reached their peak.
At the same time, the Ressurection Technique was circulated, and his injuries were completely healed in an instant, thus revealing his now strong Sage body that was emitting a hazy Sage light. The light attracted thousands of Heaven and Earth paths, the commotion shocking.
An unusually shocking Sagely might surged, shaking the star fragments within a hundred thousand miles. It even triggered the stars in the surroundings, causing them to shine with brilliant starlight that shrouded Qin Chen. He was like the ruler of the starry sky.
“What a powerful Sagely might! To think he’s only a Jiutian realm Sage, but his Sagely might is already so terrifying! This new Sage isn’t simple at all. I shouldn’t have underestimated him! When did the human race give birth to such a peerless Sage?!” The mysterious ancient Sage hiding in the dark said in shock.
He could feel that Qin Chen’s blood energy was as vast as an abyss, as well as the terrifying Sagely might the latter emitted. Both showed that Qin Chen was utterly different from ordinary Sages. Upon learning how terrifying this new Sage was, the ancient Sage did not dare to continue provoking him. After suffering a great loss, he quickly retreated, not hesitating to leave behind his broken palm.
Qin Chen did not follow up with another attack. Since there was a mysterious ancient Sage hiding in the starry sky, there must be other mysterious unknown Sages hiding as well. It would be dangerous if he were to pursue the other party now.
He put away the broken palm and turned it into a lump of Sage-level flesh, which was filled with powerful vitality.
Anyone who had reached the Jiutian realm would have a strong life force and could live for seven to eight thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years.
To many people, the flesh and blood of Sages were natural divine medicine. As long as the killing intent in their flesh and blood was alleviated, they could be refined into pills that could greatly increase one’s vitality.
At the same time, Qin Chen was also shocked. His guess was correct. This world was far more terrifying than he had imagined. The waters were deep. If he had not been cautious, he might have been killed by that ancient Sage while still weak.
Furthermore, that ancient Sage was much stronger than the ancient Sage of the pegasus race and Sage-level Demon King. At the very least, the other party was not in a weakened state. Furthermore, the other party also had a rather high level of attainment in the Jiutian realm. Unfortunately, the other party had encountered a peerless genius like him. If it had been any other ordinary Sage, they would have been in deep trouble.
After passing the tribulation and successfully becoming a Sage who had transcended mortality, Qin Chen naturally did not stay any longer in this mysterious starry sky. He left the starry sky and outer space rapidly. Wisps of chaotic ancient energy filled the air, covering his traces.
It was only a given that he didn’t want others to know his true identity.
Soon, Qin Chen descended from the sky and returned to the Taiyi Holy Land. At this moment, he was far more powerful than when he was a great Venerable.
After landing in the Taiyi Holy Land, the Desolate Divine Halberd still nailed the Sage-level Demon King to the ground. Even though a day and a night had passed, the Sage-level Demon King was still unable to break free and had been sealed here. Otherwise, the entire Taiyi Holy Land would have been destroyed by him, causing great misery and suffering.
Qin Chen’s return made the experts of the Taiyi Holy Land cheer. They were even more respectful of him.
All of them knew that the Elder King had become an unparalleled Sage, so they were very excited.
With a peerless Sage, the Taiyi Holy Land’s status would be higher. It could even rise above the other immortal inheritances.
One had to know that to become an immortal inheritance, the faction had to have produced a Jiutian realm Sage.
However, even though a faction was an immortal inheritance, having a true Jiutian Sage and not having one were completely different scenarios.
In the present world, Sages were extinct. Now that the Taiyi Holy Land had a Jiutian Sage, it could thus return to its glory. It could rule the southern desolate lands and even the world. The four immortal divine dynasties would have to show respect to it to a certain extent.
This was the might of a Sage!
Ling Ran and Lu Xuan also looked at Qin Chen in awe. They could not see through the wisps of clear light that surrounded Qin Chen’s body before, and now, these wisps of clear light contained wisps of Sage light, which made him even more unfathomable.
Qin Chen went straight to where the Sage-level Demon King was and stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the Demon King that had been pierced through.
The Sage-level Demon King’s expression changed drastically. He could sense that the other party’s aura was completely different from before. It was much stronger.
It was obvious that Qin Chen had already passed the heavenly tribulation and become a true Jiutian realm Sage.
“How is this possible? You just finished your tribulation, shouldn’t you be consolidating your cultivation?” The Sage-level Demon King looked at Qin Chen in disbelief. Normally, no matter how heaven-defying a Sage was, he should have gone into seclusion to recuperate and consolidate his realm after passing the heavenly tribulation.
Passing the heavenly tribulation didn’t necessarily mean that one was a Sage. If one’s realm wasn’t consolidated, there was a certain chance that one would fall from the Sage realm.
Since ancient times, there had been many such examples. Thus, once a Sage passed the heavenly tribulation, the first thing they had to do was to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate their realm.
“That’s for ordinary people, but I don’t need to do so!” Qin Chen replied indifferently.
How could the Sage-level Demon King know that Qin Chen had the Chaotic Holy Body, which allowed his foundation to be stable once he advanced? Moreover, he had countless divine pills and wondrous medicines, which he could eat as he pleased. There was no lack of pills to consolidate his realm, so he didn’t have to worry at all.
“Now, it’s time to get rid of you,” Qin Chen looked at the Sage-level Demon King and made a move.
If Qin Chen had to use all his strength to deal with the Sage-level Demon King when he was a great Venerable, he could easily suppress him now.
He pulled out the Desolate Divine Halberd, bringing with it a stream of divine blood. However, at the same time, the seal he had left behind had disappeared.
The Sage-level Demon King knew that the current Qin Chen was much stronger than before. The first thing it did was not resist but rush into the sky.
