Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2370: Chapter 2371: Dug His Own Grave!

Inside the stone coffin stood a person, staring intently, making Ye Qiu feel uneasy.

Of course, what made Ye Qiu’s heart tremble the most was this person’s aura, which even at his pinnacle strength at the later stage of the Heavenly Realm, he felt dangerously threatened.

It was imaginable how terrifying this person was.

Step, step, step.

This person walked out of the stone coffin, and in the already silent hall, such a sound suddenly appearing was extremely jarring.

The reason why Ye Qiu did not immediately flee was due to the person’s condition.

Ye Qiu saw that this person’s body was incomplete, both arms were already crippled and lacked palms, and even the legs were limping.

Such an opponent was daunting, yet Ye Qiu felt it wasn’t to the point where he needed to flee upon sight. He was confident in his own strength.

He was puzzled because a physical body’s damage, once surpassing the Saint Realm, even a decapitation wouldn’t matter, and the body could live well. Such lost limbs should be recoverable through martial cultivation.

Ye Qiu felt confused. With this person’s strength, recovery shouldn’t be impossible. But soon, he was once again shocked because, as he focused on the person’s wounds, he discovered a special energy enveloping the person, preventing the healing of the wounds, making it impossible for the severed hand to regenerate.

"What a domineering power," Ye Qiu’s eyes tightened; it could be said that it was a kind of rule, a force with extremely destructive rules.

While Ye Qiu continuously observed this physically damaged elder, the other moved like a ghost.

Ye Qiu’s heart tightened immediately.

Boom!

Ye Qiu raised his fist, colliding briefly with the opponent; he was shocked and sent flying from the punch, while the elder, who seemed unstable, still stood in place.

What immense power.

Even though Ye Qiu’s punch wasn’t at full strength, it was up to six or seven parts force, yet it nearly exploded his fist.

Luckily, his body was formed from the Xuanhuang energy, extremely tough defensively. Otherwise, in another Heavenly Realm, this elder’s punch might not be bearable.

The elder hesitated momentarily, clearly not expecting Ye Qiu to remain unscathed against his attack.

Without words, neither frenzied nor calm, the elder attacked once more.

His hands were broken, but he relied solely on his bare arms to attack without losing power compared to fists.

Limping, yet shockingly fast, Ye Qiu could only rely on keen eyesight to catch the opponent’s movements and block them.

Thump, thump, thump!

The two fought within the great hall, the sound of their confrontations echoing continuously.

Through the skirmish with the mysterious elder, Ye Qiu discovered that the elder’s true strength was actually higher than his. However, for some reason, the elder couldn’t use his full power, allowing Ye Qiu to survive.

Ye Qiu couldn’t know that this elder was one of the ancestors of the Celestial Emperor’s family. Earlier, five ancestors were dispatched into the cosmic abyss, and only this one returned alive, but in a terrible state, not recovering completely until now. If in normal condition, given Ye Qiu’s current strength, he would’ve already knelt before him.

This celestian ancestor was no longer his prime self, and with severe injuries affecting his recovery, his strength was heavily compromised.

Otherwise, why would Di Shi Tian place his hopes on the five ancestors?

Encountering a strong adversary and in the Heavenly Palace, Ye Qiu deemed that this person undoubtedly had significant ties with Di Shi Tian. If he seized the chance to resolve this opponent, it would eliminate a future threat.

Taking advantage of Di Shi Tian’s absence, Ye Qiu felt he must seize this opportunity.

The elder’s techniques were antiquated, every move was as straightforward as the grand way, making Ye Qiu almost suffer and fall behind each time in their struggle.

But Ye Qiu thrived with his prime condition and youthful vigor, gaining a slight edge over an elder facing his twilight years.

The opponent was already half-buried, without supreme cultivation, would have long turned to dust.

The more they fought, the more Ye Qiu realized how much he could learn.

He found that this old fellow’s battle experience was unparalleled, even he couldn’t help but express his admiration.

Ye Qiu’s eyes shone; he was the type who could quickly absorb nutrients from battles, especially adept in nurturing combat. It’s what Ye Qiu excelled at most.

Since this elder was ferociously powerful, an excellent adversary, and he could gain from fighting him, Ye Qiu’s interest grew stronger.

He intended to use this person to temper his martial ways.

Previously battling experts from the Hunyuan Sect, to Ye Qiu, their strength was somewhat lacking, only serving to warm him up, unable to induce a sense of danger, making the combat considerably easy without a matching opponent.

But this elder was different. Despite being injured, his combat ability remained, and seemingly simple moves could put Ye Qiu on the brink of life and death.

Daring to use an existence once at a Dao Lord level to hone martial skills, Ye Qiu might not be the first but surely rare.

The elder’s state fluctuated, his mind clouded, sometimes delivering well-composed attacks, making Ye Qiu feel death rapidly approaching, yet the next moment, leaving the elder momentarily dazed, instinctively feeling Ye Qiu shouldn’t be there, continuing to attack him.

This allowed Ye Qiu to narrowly escape disaster several times.

Ye Qiu knew it was like dancing on a knife’s edge, a single mistake could get him killed, but he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to face such a master. Di Shi Tian’s strength should surpass this person’s; if he couldn’t survive this encounter in the elder’s state, he wouldn’t be qualified to face Di Shi Tian.

Of course, if Ye Qiu knew the elder’s true identity was Di Shi Tian’s ancestor, he might think differently.

As the saying goes, ignorance is fearless. Having stepped into the pinnacle of the later Heavenly Realm, Ye Qiu had the spirit of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, continuing to hone his martial ways against the mysterious elder.

As the battle persisted, Ye Qiu kept enhancing his strength, eventually even resorting to black flame transformation.

Engulfed in black flame, Ye Qiu turned into a hellish evil lord.

This was his maximum combat capacity, his currently strongest state.

He believed that with such power facing the elder, he could be able to resolve the opponent.

However, Ye Qiu was stunned immediately. When the erratic elder felt Ye Qiu’s black flame power, his eyes cleared instantly, and a remarkable killing intent flashed.

Not good.

Ye Qiu tragically realized that the elder, seemingly provoked by his black flame, became even more powerful and entirely lucid. Wasn’t this digging your own grave?

Facing the now completely normal elder, Ye Qiu’s heart pounded nervously as he felt this elder was more dreadful than Di Shi Tian.

Who exactly was he?
