Chapter 826: Chapter 826 Half-step to Creation Realm

"What’s so good about this good-for-nothing brat that you actually asked me to let him go?"

Gong Siyuan’s face was somewhat twisted, his fists clenched, making a cracking sound.

This was the first time he had heard Yan Ruyu asking him for a favor, and ordinarily, no matter what the request was, Gong Siyuan would probably have agreed to it.

However, this request to spare Lin Chen not only failed to persuade Gong Siyuan to let Lin Chen go, but instead deepened his hatred toward Lin Chen.

One must know how proud Yan Ruyu is, yet today for Lin Chen’s sake, she has set aside her pride and bowed her head to Gong Siyuan.

Gong Siyuan couldn’t feel happy about it no matter what.

Looking at Lin Chen, his heart was filled with the intent to kill.

Had Yan Ruyu not asked him, Gong Siyuan might have simply humiliated Lin Chen, but now, he was determined to take Lin Chen’s life.

Facing Gong Siyuan’s murderous gaze, Lin Chen appeared completely indifferent.

"Miss Yan, you need not do this; with his ability, he is still not enough to kill me. You are boosting his confidence and underestimating me."

Lin Chen looked at Yan Ruyu, knowing that she was genuinely worried about his safety, hence he shook his head and said.

However, in Yan Ruyu’s naive mind, Lin Chen’s words were nothing but bravado to comfort her.

She did not want Lin Chen to get hurt because of her and was all too aware of Gong Siyuan’s strength and cultivation.

Even she herself was no match for Gong Siyuan, let alone Lin Chen.

Despite Lin Chen’s joint victory over one of the Red Soul Hall’s ancestors, Xue Yuanqing, with the Qin Family Ancestor in the Endless Sky Mountain Range, she believed it was definitely not Lin Chen’s power alone.

At the moment, Lin Chen didn’t pay attention to Yan Ruyu’s worries and leaped up to the Duel Platform ahead of him.

Since Gong Siyuan insisted on causing trouble and wanted his life, Lin Chen had no choice but to satisfy him.

However, in Lin Chen’s mind, he was the one who would be taking Gong Siyuan’s life.

For someone who had always harbored murderous intent against him, Lin Chen would not let him continue to exist, since open attacks are easy to dodge, but secret ones are hard to guard against. If this guy was not dealt with sooner, who knew what would happen later.

After ascending to the Duel Platform, the defensive formation was automatically activated.

Though the dueling draw had not yet taken place, the conflict between the two had alarmed both ancestors, so the duel had to take place first.

Lin Chen clenched his fists slightly; with his current strength, defeating Gong Siyuan would probably require revealing quite a few of his trump cards.

But with the situation as it was, Lin Chen didn’t want to hide his strength anymore. Since things had escalated to this point, it was time to completely shut his opponent up.

As Lin Chen stepped onto the Duel Platform, the corners of Gong Siyuan’s mouth revealed a cold smile as he too jumped onto the Duel Platform.

Both men stared at each other, their eyes revealing icy killing intent.

Just as they were about to make a move, a loud boom suddenly erupted in the sky, as if a hole had been torn open.

Then, a huge light shot up into the sky, followed by a strong energy fluctuation spreading out from that spot to the surroundings, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also becoming turbulent.

Without a doubt, this was a sign of someone making a breakthrough in cultivation.

And the commotion was far greater than the energy wave Ding Xingzheng generated when he reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm.

Without a doubt, the cultivation realm of the person making the breakthrough was absolutely above the peak of the Nirvana Realm that Ding Xingzheng attained that day.

With this, in the Formation Sect, there was only one person who had the capability to advance – that was Qin Batian, and he had stepped into a Half-step to Creation Realm!

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused in the direction of the Formation Sect, their hearts filled with shock. They all wondered who had released such a powerful energy and under what circumstances.

Every face was a mix of surprise and joy.

Lie Qianxing’s face overflowed with smiles, and Shi Wanshan’s face was also full of excitement.

In a cave dwelling far from this place, on the rear mountain of the Ouyang Family, Ding Xingzheng, who had just sent a message, wore a smile. He first felt happy for Qin Batian’s breakthrough, but soon a complex expression appeared on his face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he sighed deeply.

Ding Xingzheng, also an ancestor of the Formation Sect and a member of the Ouyang Family, had been living under Qin Batian’s shadow. Now that he finally made a breakthrough in cultivation, reaching the same realm as Qin Batian, he was no longer suppressed by him.

However, following this brief spell of exhilaration, he was surpassed by Qin Batian once again.

Despite his unwillingness, Ding Xingzheng still felt happy for Qin Batian’s achievement.

Although the Ouyang Family and the Qin Family were at odds, as two ancestors of the Formation Sect, even if their relationship was poor, they would not resort to swords against each other.

Qin Batian had always been like a mountain on Ding Xingzheng’s shoulders, forcing him to become stronger continuously.

Now seeing Qin Batian break through again, Ding Xingzheng felt a new pressure and knew that he too had to keep cultivating hard.

"Old fellow, if I don’t work hard and fail to break through to a Half-step to Creation Realm, I might truly die before you," Ding Xingzheng said with a bitter smile, clenching his fists.

Ding Xingzheng was a proud man, his life goal was to surpass Qin Batian. Yet, just as he had caught up, he was surpassed once again, which made him feel very frustrated.

Still, Qin Batian’s breakthrough was indeed surprising. Could his talent truly be so great that he managed to break through as his life was about to end?

Impossible, there must have been some kind of opportunity involved.

Ding Xingzheng suddenly recalled something, his eyebrows tightly locked. That was, before Qin Batian entered seclusion, the sect disciple Lin Chen had visited the Qin Family and even saw Qin Batian.

Not long after Lin Chen left, Qin Batian began his seclusion. And in less than a month, Qin Batian had made a breakthrough?

Could it be... Lin Chen gave Qin Batian some kind of treasure, and this treasure was even more precious than the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine of a hundred thousand years he gave himself before?
