I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years Chapter 884 -: Crossing the River
Previously on I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years...
Suddenly, Qin Chen's eyes snapped open, startling everyone present.
"Elder King, is something wrong?" the true dragon inquired urgently.
Had Daoist Eastern Wolf not detected that Qin Chen was unwell, the others likely would have remained oblivious.
At this moment, Qin Chen merely appeared somewhat pale, with no other outward signs.
"I witnessed the corpse of a quasi-emperor within the Heaven-leading River. This quasi-emperor had successfully broken through to the Supreme realm."
These words stunned everyone. They could scarcely believe that the Elder King had ventured to the depths of the Heaven-leading River and even discovered a corpse there!
However, their current concerns were not focused on that revelation.
"I will attempt to cross the river," Qin Chen declared.
He rose and began to walk into the river, step by deliberate step.
He had already pledged to the deceased’s request to deliver news back to the Xuanjian Sect. Therefore, the predicament they faced earlier should not reoccur.
Everyone watched, astonished, as Qin Chen, now standing on the water's surface, did not sink as their spiritual boat had previously.
Daoist Eastern Wolf was so incredulous that he was speechless.
He was witnessing someone traverse the river using only their physical body! This was, after all, the perilous Heaven-leading River!
He had no comprehension of how Qin Chen managed such a feat.
Daoist Eastern Wolf's shock was entirely genuine.
The Heaven-leading River was notoriously impossible to cross!
If an individual could actually cross the Heaven-leading River by their own strength, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the entirety of the demon race's forbidden grounds.
It was simply unfortunate that only they bore witness to this extraordinary event.
Above the river, as dark as the deepest night, the oppressive pulling force inexplicably vanished.
Qin Chen crossed the river without encountering any peril, reaching the opposite bank in a short span of time.
He returned, uncertain if the others would be subjected to the river's pull; he felt compelled to keep a watchful eye on them.
The large scorpion ventured onto the river first. True to Qin Chen's observation, it registered no sign of the formidable power.
Subsequently, the others followed suit.
A smile graced Qin Chen's lips. As anticipated, by agreeing to the deceased's plea, they had gained the ability to traverse the Heaven-leading River.
After the entire group had successfully crossed the Heaven-leading River, Daoist Eastern Wolf wore a complex expression. He pondered the caliber of the individual he was now following.
If Qin Chen were to survive, he would undoubtedly ascend to the quasi-emperor realm.
Daoist Eastern Wolf himself had once harbored a sliver of potential to become a quasi-emperor, but in comparison to Qin Chen, he felt utterly insignificant.
"Let's proceed!"
At Qin Chen's command, the group followed him.
After advancing for some distance, they were drawing near the spatial rift that Daoist Eastern Wolf had previously indicated.
Qin Chen eagerly anticipated discovering the land of opportunity left behind by the Blood Spirit God.
Despite prior visitors, a puppet crafted by a quasi-emperor remained an exceptionally valuable artifact.
Regarding the Xuanjian Sect, he had already made inquiries with Daoist Eastern Wolf. Ancient records suggested it was a supreme orthodoxy, yet its current whereabouts were unknown, possibly having relocated.
Whether Qin Chen would have the fortune to encounter it remained to be seen.
If the quasi-emperor who had been trapped in the Heaven-leading River had not perished, he would likely attain the Supreme realm upon his release.
This, however, was contingent on the individual having already endured the heavenly tribulation; otherwise, their survival and resurrection remained uncertain.
Daoist Eastern Wolf pointed ahead. "Master, the spatial rift lies just beyond this point."
With the passage of so many years, numerous locations had undergone transformations. Consequently, Daoist Eastern Wolf required a brief period to pinpoint the entrance to the spatial rift.
A realm of opportunity, once established by a Supreme being, would not easily crumble unless another Supreme intervened.
"It should be over there."
Daoist Eastern Wolf gestured, leading them to an area that appeared entirely unremarkable.
There was absolutely nothing present. Not even a single blade of grass could be found.
