Entered the Fifth Level of the God Devouring Tower.

The fiery atmosphere rolled in waves, surrounded by fire rocks everywhere.

This space is somewhat similar to the Third Level of the God Devouring Tower.

"Hahaha, little kid, we meet again!"

A cheerful laugh echoed.

Qin Chen glanced over, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Yan Qiong, senior."

The Gatekeeper of the Fifth Level, surprisingly, is Yan Qiong, whom Qin Chen has fought twice before!

Previously, Qin Chen had encountered Yan Qiong on both the First and Third Levels of the God Devouring Tower!

Back then, when ascending to the First Level of the God Devouring Tower, Qin Chen had just stepped into the Earth Element Realm, but now, even strong contenders from the Primordial Flower Realm are no match for him.

"Not bad, in such a short time, you've managed to reach the Fifth Level!"

Yan Qiong looked Qin Chen up and down, and with his eye power, he could clearly see that Qin Chen had become extraordinary.

"However, this time you'll be facing my true self!"

"Therefore, this level's difficulty might be unprecedented for you!" Yan Qiong said.

"True self?"

Qin Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Does that mean I must take down Yan Qiong, senior, to pass this level?" Qin Chen asked.

Although he had met Yan Qiong only twice, he had a good impression of him. He couldn't bear to step on Yan Qiong's corpse to pass the level.

"Haha, the little one has a heart!"

"The God Devouring Clan surely wouldn't set such a cruel rule."

"What you see now is only a clone; the real me perished a thousand years ago," Yan Qiong said with a smile.

"Have you already perished, senior?" Qin Chen's face changed instantly.

"In the cycle of reincarnation, even peak experts can't ensure their immortality. Life and death are fated; prosperity and decline are of the heavens. It's best to see it lightly."

Yan Qiong appeared to be very open-minded, speaking with a smile.

Qin Chen nodded, knowing even figures as powerful as the Eight Supreme Demons turned to dust; death, none can escape.

What Qin Chen could do was struggle against heaven, contest with earth, battling for life from heaven and reason from earth!

"Come, little kid, let this old fellow see how much stronger you've become over time!" Yan Qiong said with a smile.

"I certainly won't disappoint you, senior."

Qin Chen smiled back.

Since the time when he fought with Yan Qiong's Hundred Yuan Battle Shadow on the Third Level of the God Devouring Tower, Qin Chen had grown significantly stronger.

Not just in cultivation, but in overall strength.

"Let's fight!"

The breath on Yan Qiong's body started to rise gradually, with waves of fire roaring and rolling.

"Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"

Qin Chen summoned the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade directly, as the Three Great Blade Intent erupted, the fierce blade intent swept like a thousand blades, sharp and wanting to destroy everything.

The overwhelming blade intent filled the Nine Heavens!

Finally, all gathered onto Qin Chen's Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!

At this moment, Qin Chen seemed to transform into an unrivaled Sword God, unparalleled.

"Hmm?"

Yan Qiong noticed such a terrifying blade aura on Qin Chen, raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly surprised.

"Little one, at such a young age, able to wield the blade to such an extent, in the future, your name will surely be known in the way of blades!"

Startled, Yan Qiong couldn't help but praise.

However, his hands showed no mercy.

"Fire Emperor Finger, One Finger Grotto Heaven!"

A gigantic finger mark wildly condensed, with surrounding fire primordial energy rampaging, sweeping away everything with its sovereign and absolute waves.

Fire Emperor Finger!

Upper Grade Heavenly Martial Arts!

It was the strongest martial art in Yan Qiong's repertoire!

Evidently, Yan Qiong showed no contempt for Qin Chen, immediately using his secret technique.

"Hahaha, Yan Qiong, senior, let's see if my blade can break your finger!"

Qin Chen spoke with a laugh, his breath raged, deploying methods of augmenting his combat power, his body was a raging storm, seeming to break through the Nine Heavens.

"Desolate Silence!"

Qin Chen horizontally swung out a blade.

This was an extremely terrifying blade, with one strike, the entire world seemed to change color.

An aura that seemed capable of annihilating everything, instilling fear and dread!

The Desolate Silence move had been cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm by Qin Chen.

Combined with the Level 5 Early Stage Bloodthirst Blade Intent, Fourth Level Perfection Soft Water Blade Aura, and Level 4 Great Success Lightning Blade Intent, how could its power be comparable to before?

The power had increased tenfold!

Boom!

Qin Chen's blade struck Yan Qiong's Fire Emperor Finger, producing an earth-shattering explosion, shaking the entire area as if heaven was about to be pierced.

Crack!

Soon, Yan Qiong's Fire Emperor Finger cracked open, and Qin Chen's lips turned upwards.

"Yan Qiong, senior, our first bout, you lost!"

As the words fell, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade on Qin Chen's hand glowed with terrifying sword light, so bright that Yan Qiong couldn't keep his eyes open.

Bang!

Yan Qiong's Fire Emperor Finger immediately exploded like a watermelon, splintering into energy ripples wreaking havoc around.

Yan Qiong's body, however, was sent flying nearly a kilometer by Qin Chen's single blade.

Yan Qiong's body dragged across the ground, carving out a deep groove before managing to halt, looking at Qin Chen with astonishment.

"This move of mine should be fatal for anyone in the Primordial Flower Fourth Stage!"

"But you defeated me with merely Heavenly Origin Seventh Realm cultivation?" Yan Qiong's gaze was somewhat dazed.

"I already said, I wouldn't disappoint you, senior," Qin Chen said with a smile.

Yan Qiong's move was indeed immensely powerful!

However, Qin Chen's move was even stronger!

Not to mention the Primordial Flower Fourth Stage, even the Primordial Flower Fifth Layer might not be able to withstand it!

"You're quite the little monster!"

"Your talent, even among the genius-studded God Devouring Clan, is exceptional!"

"Yet, to completely defeat me and clear the Fifth Level, you're still a bit short!" Yan Qiong said.

"Is that so?" Qin Chen's face revealed a fox-like smile.

"Fire Emperor Finger—Double Finger Burning Sky!"

Yan Qiong shouted once more, a force several times stronger than before swept violently, transforming the surroundings like a boiling storm; the intense heat could instantly boil a pot of cold water.

Looking at Yan Qiong's offense, Qin Chen's eyes brightened a bit.

Many people enjoy fighting with strong opponents because only with such opponents can they ignite their inner war intent.

Since returning to the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, Qin Chen hadn't had a satisfying battle for a long time.

Meeting Yan Qiong today, Qin Chen naturally wanted a satisfying fight.

"Yan Qiong, senior."

"For the first move, I defeated you!"

"So, I reckon, the second move might not be any different!"

Qin Chen's face radiated a bright and confident smile, and the next moment, he softly shouted.

"Desolate Domain!"
