Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Shocking Qin City

There was a teleporting area at the southern hills of the central Divine Refinement Forbidden Land. About fifteen percent of the warriors were transported there whenever they entered the area.

When the teleporting area was occupied by the Qin Clan, the name of the area was immediately changed to Qin City. Afterward, the Qin Clan sent their world lords into the city and gradually conquered the location.

A bright white light suddenly appeared and shone across the center of the sky of Qin City. The light was actually a result of the scattered Space Law.

As the space theurgy passed down through the divine land, it created a very stable and nearly perfect space channel. As the incandescent white Space Law interweaved ceaselessly, a large snowflake was formed. The snowflake rotated mid-air a few times until suddenly, somebody fell straight out of the snowflake.

A world lord within the fortress saw the person and rushed quickly into the sky. When the world lord finally reached the person who was still in the middle of the fall, the world lord delivered a surprise and gasped. “Young master, who had the guts to do this to you? Were you suddenly attacked by powerful beasts in the wilderness?” the world lord asked.

There was no doubt that the person who fell was Quentin.

However, the front of his body had his flesh ripped apart and mangled. A huge gash was seen on his chest that one could see the eerie bones within it.

The corrosion from Zen's shield also morbidly damaged Quentin's left hand.

A ring made from cyan wood was seen on the little finger of his left hand. It was an escape ring. The escape ring could replace his body with a wooden puppet the moment he encountered danger. Simultaneously, it would also teleport him elsewhere. If he was in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land, the escape ring would be able to teleport Quentin back to Qin City.

The world lord carried Quentin all the way into the fort. The arrival of Quentin in such a miserable state alarmed everyone in their path.

“What happened? How is the young master?”

“How can he be severely injured? Who did this to him?”

“I'm sure the injuries are not caused by a blunt weapon. It must have been caused by some kind of erosion.” The people delivered their concerns with voices full of panic.

The world lords knew that swift actions were needed to save Quentin. Immediately, another world lord set up a grand formation and activated the divine texture. Afterward, streaks of jade-green light were infused into Quentin's body.

The warriors continuously fought in the divine land. As long as a warrior still had a breath of air in them, then no matter how serious their injuries were, they could still be revived.

The horrible wounds on Quentin's body started to heal. Countless muscles grew and intertwined with each other. Afterward, his skin began to cover up the newly formed muscles and not even a scar was found.

Quentin then slowly opened his eyes. Exhaustion reflected on his face. The world lords immediately noticed how weak he still was even after his regeneration process.

“Young master, what kind of beast did this to you?” a world lord asked curiously.

These world lords stayed in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land all year round. Therefore, warriors wouldn't attack for no reason in the six great sacred places. Moreover, the young master was in the territory of the Skyland race. Qin Clan went there frequently and they had a close relationship with Skyland race.

Most people believed that the young master had been injured by a strange and powerful beast during his training.

When he heard the world lord's query, Quentin's face darkened. “My injuries weren't caused by a beast.” Quentin's voice was still weak, yet disappointment flowed in his tone as he clenched his teeth.

“Not a beast?” The world lord who asked was surprised by Quentin's answer. He wondered what or who could have been responsible for Quentin's serious injuries. 'Could it be that he had a fight with the Skyland race?' The world lord was taken aback by his thought.

“Dang it! I was injured by a secondary creature!!!” Quentin answered with a voice full of rage. That was a shameful situation for Quentin. The fact that he still lost to Zen even after he used his Sky Pearl showed that there was no hope of him to ever overpower Zen. Quentin could try a million times again but he would still experience defeat against Zen in a match of power. However, he still refused to agree that Zen possessed stronger strength and technique.

“A secondary creature?”

“How is that possible?” the world lord asked with eyes widened with disbelief.

“Young master, are you sure of what you're saying?” a voice echoed from the people. They were still surprised that someone was able to do such a thing to their young master.

Even more so, they found it hard to believe that the one responsible for Quentin's injuries was a mere secondary creature.

The people were aware of the strength of secondary creatures. There were many secondary creatures in Qin City. Additionally, as the Qin Clan occupied the teleporting area, they were also responsible for the distribution of the trial tallies. They knew that these secondary creatures fought until their heads bled for some low-level trial tallies. 𝖗ÅɴօＢËŝ

The fact that their young master had actually been injured by a secondary creature was totally unbelievable.

“I... I even used the great Wishing Spell.” Quentin stuttered. Humiliation started to sink to his soul.

The world lords were even more shocked. If Quentin was injured like this even after he used the great Wishing Spell, then the secondary creature's origin was definitely something to worry about.

“What about Hayes? And Mac? Did they not protect you, young master?” a world lord asked in anger as if he wanted to blame those he just named.

Two guards were appointed to Quentin when he entered the Skyland race. Their responsibilities were to protect their young master at all cost but they failed to carry out their duties as their young master had been severely injured.

However, the two guards did not enter the Tidal Surge. They figured that with Quentin's strength, there was no need to accompany him in that place.

“I even used the Sky Pearl,” Quentin added with a regretful voice. He tried to be as honest as could be, perhaps in an attempt to cover up the embarrassment of his defeat to a secondary creature.

“What?”

“Is this true, young master?”

The world lords present were startled. Most of them couldn't comprehend the reality of the situation.

Quentin's cultivation might not be as high as theirs, but after he displayed his great Wishing Spell, his strength should be several times higher than theirs. No world lord would be a match with Quentin if he was powered up with the help of his Wishing Spell.

But he even used the Sky Pearl! With such a secret and powerful treasure supporting him, the young master's strength should be far above any world lord present!

The problem for the world lords was that Quentin had used the Sky Pearl and was still defeated. He had also activated the escape ring to save his life. The strength of the secondary creature that defeated Quentin was truly at a level that they could not comprehend.

They could not believe that such an incident really happened.

As he noticed their expressions, Quentin's rage grew even worse. “Don't you believe me?” he asked with an angry voice.

“We have no right to question you, young master. However, please understand that this situation is very hard for us to believe.” A world lord lowered his head and responded with an apologetic tone.

“No matter who the strange creature is, we have to go to the Skyland race to capture this person. We must make sure that the young master fulfills his vow.” another world lord said like a politician who offered a solution to a problem.

Quentin lost to Zen even though he activated his great Wishing Spell for the demise of Zen. If Quentin did not kill him, then in the future, Quentin's cultivation would not be able to progress. Therefore, regardless of who the other party was, Quentin should kill the secondary creature that he vowed to murder.

“There's no need to hurry. This person's origin is quite problematic. Even the Skyland race is protecting him. I'm afraid that we will not be able to capture him so easily,” Quentin said with a frown. His rash use of the great Wishing Spell had created a hidden danger for him. A gamble was made, but there was still hope if he could just murder Zen.

Normally, once a warrior used the great Wishing Spell, they would only end up in a situation where they would not stop until they died. They only had to kill the other party to avoid the backlash from the great Wishing Spell.

“The Skyland race protects a secondary creature!”

It was only then that the Qin Clan's warriors realized the gravity of the problem. The Qin Clan could do anything they wanted in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land, but they still had to behave themselves in front of the six great cultivation sacred places. After all, they were the owner of this area, so they could only curry favors with them.

After Quentin's quick escape from the Tidal Surge, the members of the Skyland race and Collapsing Mountain race left.

Zen landed back on the platform. At that moment, the black water below the platform started to move again and a second tide current finally appeared.

Splash!

The water flowed harshly through the tide. Then, the whirlpools began to converge towards the platforms.

The warriors who watched the fight were surprised by the sudden rise of the tide. In response, they immediately turned their attention to their feet. No matter how strong Zen was, it didn't matter to them. Everyone still diligently wanted to refine their Pristine Life Vitality.

The group of warriors from the divine land that had been driven off the platform by Zen earlier now occupied their respective positions on the other platforms. Some warriors from other races did not dare to confront the warriors from the divine land since they were not as powerful as Zen. They understood that they should shut their mouths and pray that the warriors from the divine land would leave them alone.

At the central platform, Zen no longer chased Laquisha and Aleyna away. He wasn't even fazed with his fight with Quentin. As for Lucille and the other two, they stayed on the platform to refine the Pristine Life Vitality with Zen.

Lucille, Kurt, and Lone were extremely excited. Their smiles reflected their glee and enthusiasm.

The largest platform was somewhere Lucille, Kurt and Lone had never dared to set foot in before. Finally, they were able to refine the Pristine Life Vitality here.

Moreover, not only did they stand up on this platform, but all of the other warriors from the divine land had been driven away by Zen. The largest platform belonged to them now. They never imagined that they would be so lucky.

The black crystals were continuously refined through the divine texture under their feet. Each warrior had managed to refine quite a few black crystals. Zen only infuse a small amount of chaotic energy into the divine texture this time, since these black crystals were of no use to him. He just wanted to do Lucille and the others a favor.

As such, Lucille and the other two already obtained more than a thousand black crystals in such a short span of time. Their expression was a mix of delight and surprise.

Previously, they had only refined a few black crystals, and there were less than a hundred crystals per day. However, with the help of Zen, each refinement they made was almost equivalent to the sum of the black crystals refined in the last three months.

The three of them were extremely excited. The precious Pristine Life Vitality was constantly being swallowed up by them and continued to add fuel to the fire for their inner worlds! The concentration of life vitality in their bodies increased so fast that the results were visible to the eyes.

While a warrior was moving through the Soul Sea Realm, the Spirit Supreme Realm, and the Spirit Transformation Realm, their inner worlds were continuously experiencing changes.

As one's inner world developed and expanded, one's cultivation would also steadily improve. At this rate, he or she would be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm in just a few days!

After they absorbed the Pristine Life Vitality, the three of them gathered around Zen, curious to hear more about his experiences along the way. Their faces were decorated with delightful smiles and eager eyes.

Zen briefly recounted the details of what happened in the Collapsing Mountain race. Even though Zen had missed out on many details and hid some information from the three of them, they were still dazzled by what they heard. They continued to listen to Zen's discussion with curious minds, eager for knowledge and improvement.
