"A cornered beast will still fight? If you say so." Upon hearing the words of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit, Qi Chuan smiled, indifferent as he spoke.
Hearing Qi Chuan’s words, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit couldn’t help but shake his head.
Qi Chuan can be considered a true prodigy, able to cultivate to the Great True Monarch Realm, his mindset must be exceptional.
Therefore, even when facing a scene that could be considered desperate, he would not sit and await death, but would undoubtedly struggle with all his might.
He thought that what Qi Chuan intended to do now was precisely this.
In comparison, what he needed to do was very simple.
It was to utterly drive Qi Chuan to despair.
"Qi Chuan, let me show you the gap in strength between us. Sometimes, between Great True Monarchs, there can be an insurmountable chasm..."
Looking at Qi Chuan, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit spoke calmly.
Boom!
At the very moment the words fell, the eyes of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly operated the Tier Four Technique he cultivated with full power.
The Nascent Soul within his Dantian, at this moment, suddenly opened its eyes as well, and the Nascent Soul energy within his body circulated incessantly, reaching its peak.
An immensely strong Nascent Soul foundation was revealed without any concealment, and a terrifying spiritual pressure also emanated from the body of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit.
Based on this Nascent Soul foundation and the revealed spiritual pressure.
Its Nascent Soul height was at least...
"Eight Inches Six?"
Witnessing the explosive display of the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit, Qi Chuan seemed shocked, his expression involuntarily shifting.
"Exactly..."
"Now, you should understand the gap between the two of us, right?"
"At a height of Eight Inches Six for the Nascent Soul, it is only a mere zero-point-four inches away from the Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm, not far at all."
"As long as there’s some fortune, in the future, I might break into that Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm and join the ranks of such mighty beings as the Great True Monarch Nebula!"
"And you, Qi Chuan..."
"Actually, if you hadn’t faced downfall, with your talent, perhaps in the future, you wouldn’t need much fortune to enter the Nine Inches Great True Monarch Realm. In this respect, you surpass me greatly."
"Yet alas, life has no ifs. Regrets ultimately become the only certainty..."
Glancing at Qi Chuan’s expression, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit spoke slowly. By the time he finished, his face was filled with a sense of lament, as if he truly felt it was a great pity for Qi Chuan.
"Indeed, a Nascent Soul height of Eight Inches Six is already very high..."
Upon hearing the other party’s words, Qi Chuan did not refute, but nodded in acknowledgment.
Ordinary Great True Monarchs, unable to advance to the Nine Inches Great True Monarch, take pride in being close to that level.
Being at Eight Inches Six, just zero-point-four inches short of Nine Inches, is indeed a very high height.
And generally, Great True Monarchs cannot reach such a level. The Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit taking pride in this is very normal.
Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit furrowed his brow.
Even though he revealed his true Nascent Soul height, Qi Chuan still seemed somewhat composed.
It seems that this person’s reputation as a prodigy is indeed well-deserved; such a mindset is truly respectable.
However, due to a momentary greed at the beginning, he misplaced a piece in this game.
As the saying goes, even when the lion hunts the rabbit, it uses its full strength.
At this moment, he decided not to give Qi Chuan any more time or opportunities, resolutely determined to quickly kill him.
"Ancient Spirit Divine Barrier Technique..."
He immediately formed a seal with his hands.
Along with the massive consumption of Nascent Soul energy, a protective divine barrier appeared around him, like a shimmering lake surface, enveloping him.
This was a powerful defensive divine technique included in the main cultivation method he practiced, now infused with the substantial Nascent Soul foundation at his height of Eight Inches Six.
He believed that with Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul height and foundation, it would be impossible to breach.
And with this layer of insurance, he could freely attack Qi Chuan without any reservations.
"Ancient Spirit Slash Profound Light."
Immediately, his hands transformed the seals.
His palms acted like blades, coated with dazzling divine glow, and he fiercely slashed towards Qi Chuan.
Instantly, two sharp white lights slashed out from his palms, like divine blades passing through the void, targeting Qi Chuan’s neck and chest.
This Ancient Spirit Slash Profound Light had extraordinary power, no weaker than the protective divine barrier he previously displayed, and was one of his most powerful attacking divine techniques.
Unleashing the attacking divine techniques he prided himself on, the Great True Monarch of Ancient Spirit did not stop.
He immediately opened his mouth, and two beams of Spirit Treasure light flew out from it.
Reaching the sky, one of the Spirit Treasure beams slightly trembled and transformed into a golden stone staff nine meters long, appearing extremely sturdy, with a large head fit to shake mountains. As soon as it appeared, it was imbued with his vast Nascent Soul foundation, and directly smashed towards Qi Chuan.
This golden stone staff was clearly a formidable Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Treasure.
As the staff struck down, the void shattered, incredibly terrifying.
The other Spirit Treasure beam, after slightly trembling, transformed into a five-meter-long crimson flag, also a Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Treasure. In the void, it waved several times at Qi Chuan, immediately setting in the surrounding space around Qi Chuan several narrow, blade-like crimson exotic lights.
These narrow, blade-like crimson exotic lights were exceedingly sharp, with visibly remarkable power, yet upon appearing, they did not attack Qi Chuan, but merely extended, faintly enclosing him, with the main purpose of preventing his escape.
