Qin Chen stared at the back of the figure in the portrait. The figure slowly turned around, but the power of the great path surrounded his body, making it impossible for Qin Chen to see his face clearly.

The figure clenched his fist and his body emitted endless blood energy. With a punch, all the paths in the universe trembled, the void shattered, and everything turned into nothingness.

With a sudden jolt, Qin Chen came back to his senses. The golden light had already faded, and the portrait had returned to normal as if it had never moved.

However, Qin Chen had comprehended the extreme of the physical body, the rule of force, from that punch. Although he had not fully comprehended it, he could feel that his combat strength had improved.

“Kid, what treasure did you get?” The big scorpion asked with a face full of curiosity. It wanted to know what benefits Qin Chen had obtained after causing such a huge commotion.

Qin Chen didn’t speak. Instead, he imitated the figure and clenched his fist. With a trace of the rule of force, he turned around and punched out. The fist momentum was monstrous. Even without using a trace of divine power, it still shattered the void and created a terrifying fist wind, which cracked the floor made of divine materials.

“Gulp, to think it’s a rule that even I haven’t come into contact with yet, and it’s the top-tier rule of force. This kid has really struck it rich. No, I need to go up and comprehend the rule of force as well,” The big scorpion growled. Its eyes became determined as it strode toward the golden steps. However, this time, the golden steps did not give off any pressure, and it only took two breaths for the big scorpion to reach the ninth step.

“Where’s my rule of force?” The big scorpion looked left and right, almost burning the hanging portrait with its gaze, but it still did not obtain the rule of force that it had been thinking about.

Qin Chen ignored it and looked at his fist with a look of relief. For him to have comprehended the rule of force this time was a pleasant surprise. One must know that the power of rules was something that only the Gods could master. Now that Qin Chen had comprehended the rule of force, it would be a piece of cake for him to break through to the God realm in the future.

“Demon Emperor ancestor, I’m a demon. Why did you give the rule of force to this kid?” The big scorpion was full of complaints. Seeing how happy Qin Chen was, it became even angrier. It searched around the hall, trying to find the inheritance and treasures left behind by the demon Emperor.

“System, check in here,” Qin Chen muttered in his heart. This was already the depths of the Demon Emperor Tomb, one of the places with the strongest divinity. He decided to check in here.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host. You have checked in at the land left behind by the demon race’s Azure Emperor. You have obtained the reward improvement by one level!]

The system’s voice resounded in his mind, and before he could react, his cultivation had improved by one level, reaching the peak of the Sage King realm.

Qin Chen’s face was filled with surprise, and then unbridled joy. Although it was only one level, such an advancement without a need for cultivation was simply an enjoyable free gift. Moreover, the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it would be to advance. Qin Chen thought that he would need at least two years to break through, but he never expected that he would break through now.

The big scorpion also sensed Qin Chen’s aura and muttered unhappily, “What kind of treasure did this brat find this time? To think it can raise his cultivation level by one minor realm. Demon Emperor, you’re being too unfair.”

After saying that, the big scorpion busied itself with searching around. It didn’t let go of any small corners. However, after searching for several hours, it didn’t even find a single pill, let alone a treasure.

At this time, Qin Chen had already stabilized his realm. After glancing at the bitter-looking big scorpion, he walked toward the side hall on the left. When the big scorpion saw this, it naturally followed, “Kid, the Demon Emperor is the ancestor of the demon race. Now that you’ve already gained a lot of benefits, shouldn’t you give any benefits you gain later to me, the successor of the Demon Emperor?”

Hearing the big scorpion’s words, Qin Chen looked puzzled and asked, “The Demon Emperor’s successor?”

“Hmph, I’ve been serving the Demon Emperor here for tens of thousands of years, am I not considered the Demon Emperor’s successor? So, you should give me all the treasures you get later,” The big scorpion said shamelessly.

“Since you’re the Demon Emperor’s successor, why don’t you go ahead and explore the way?” Qin Chen was speechless, “I wouldn’t want any of the treasures to fall into my hands.”

The big scorpion shrank back. It didn’t dare to explore the way. After all, what if there was danger? It didn’t want to die here after living cautiously for 10000 years.

Seeing the big scorpion’s expression, Qin Chen found it quite amusing. He ignored it and continued to walk towards the side hall.

According to what Qin Chen had seen from the outside, there should be four main halls in the underground palace. They were the main hall in the north, the side halls in the east and west, and the back hall in the south. Other than these four halls, there were also many other buildings of different sizes. Currently, Qin Chen was heading to the east hall.

Pushing open the door, Qin Chen and the big scorpion walked in. The east hall was smaller than the main hall, and there were many scrolls inside. They might be cultivation and martial arts techniques. In the deepest part of the east hall were three weapon racks. The weapons on two of the racks were gone, and only a large saber was left on the middle rack.

“Haha! I knew there would be a treasure! Looking at the array text on this saber, it must be a Supreme Sage supreme-grade weapon! It’s mine! It’s mine! You can’t snatch it from me!” The big scorpion ran over, rolled up its sleeves, and walked toward the big saber.

However, as soon as it got close, the weapon rack exuded Sagely might and turned into a humanoid creature. The creature held the big saber in its hands and said emotionlessly, “Defeat me and you can get a divine weapon.”

“You’re just an inanimate object. Watch how I beat you up!” The big scorpion sneered and didn’t take the humanoid creature seriously. It threw a powerful punch, but when its fist landed on the humanoid creature, the big scorpion was shocked. It was like its fist had hit divine material, and it couldn’t hurt the humanoid creature at all.

The humanoid creature moved as well and delivered a clean punch. With that, the big scorpion was sent flying, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of its mouth. It had clearly been injured.

The big scorpion got up from the ground and cursed, “Demon Emperor, you’re too cruel. How do you expect me to get the saber by leaving such a thing behind?”

Qin Chen didn’t want to interfere. After all, if the big scorpion used its full strength, it might be able to defeat the humanoid creature.

But at this moment, the humanoid creature suddenly looked over. It took a step forward at an extreme speed and arrived in front of Qin Chen in the blink of an eye. It clenched its fist and was ready to attack Qin Chen.

However, Qin Chen was even faster. The Chaotic Holy Body was awakened, and the rule of force circulated. He punched out, and the humanoid creature’s chest caved in before flying backward and crashing into the wall.

Just when Qin Chen thought it was over, the humanoid creature suddenly stood up and charged at him again with its saber.
