"Are you sure?"

Qin Zi looked at Bai Shuize.

"What, are you scared?"

Bai Shuize's lips curled up as he arrogantly raised his head.

"As cultivators, what have we to fear of a battle!"

Qin Zi snorted coldly, waving his hand, and a surge of majestic momentum spread out, grand and sweeping in all directions.

"So strong!!"

"This aura... truly worthy of the Celestial Lord of Xuanhuang, so powerful, he must have already entered the Forbidden Domain."

"Forbidden Domain, within the same realm, almost invincible!"

The crowd was shocked and speechless. Qin Zi's strength was expected, yet witnessing it firsthand, they were still stunned.

"Indeed not weak, worth my effort to fight!"

A trace of bloodthirsty madness appeared in Bai Shuize's eyes as he charged at Qin Zi rapidly like lightning.

"Senior Brother Bai!"

"Don't be reckless!"

The young kings of Taiqing Heaven all panicked and tried to stop him; after all, it's a tenfold suppression. Battling someone in the Forbidden Domain under such circumstances is like seeking death. Who could be ten times stronger than a forbidden person?

It's almost unimaginable.

Even though Senior Brother Bai was hailed as the number one oddity of Taiqing Heaven, they were still apprehensive; the Forbidden Domain is no joke.

But, Bai Shuize was already rushing over.

"Buzz!"

As the space rippled, both figures vanished simultaneously, then reappeared on the battle stage in the sky.

"Divine Hand!"

Bai Shuize reached out towards Qin Zi, and instantly, a crystal giant hand that nearly occupied the entire stage descended to suppress Qin Zi. This hand, majestic and indestructible, seemed to crush everything.

However, facing this terrifying strike, Qin Zi stood with his hands behind his back, calmly standing on the spot, showing no intent to defend.

"Boom—"

With a loud crash, the heavens and earth shook, the crystal giant hand shattered into pieces, while Qin Zi's robe fluttered gracefully, unharmed.

A faint glow emanated from his body, like the sole light source in the world, exuding an eternal, indestructible charm.

"You've been suppressed tenfold; if you can still shake me, how could I face being this Celestial Lord of Xuanhuang?!"

Qin Zi stood with his hands behind him, speaking coldly.

On him, there appeared an unprecedented domineering aura, perhaps from pretending for so long, even he believed it—he genuinely possessed a certain great authority and majesty that only world-beating strongmen have!

"Indeed it's impossible."

Bai Shuize nodded to himself, then squinted his eyes and smiled, "Why don't... you also suppress your power tenfold, and we fight fairly?"

"Boring."

Qin Zi gave him a dull glance, binding one's own hands and feet is something only a fool would do.

"It seems you aren't willing? In that case... let me help you!" Bai Shuize smiled slyly, then suddenly his eyes shot out sharp rays, roaring, "Water Realm!"

Rumble!

In the next moment, surging waves erupted from his body, sweeping the heavens and earth in an instant, as a terrifying Sealing Power spread out.

"What?!"

Qin Zi was shocked, then he roared to the heavens, as if tens of thousands of stars exploded within him, releasing endless divine light.

Yet still, that surging Water Realm swept over him, swallowing him whole.

He was horrified to find his power rapidly suppressed by some mysterious rule, weakened tenfold!

"Don't be surprised, this is my innate divine ability, Water Realm, which just so happens to suppress an opponent's power tenfold."

Bai Shuize boasted with a proud face, "Don't ask how I practiced such divine techniques, because it's innate, and let me remind you, I have quite a few similar innate divine abilities."

Upon hearing this, the crowd felt as if struck by lightning.

They almost wanted to beat their chests and stamp their feet!

What luck is this, such terrifying divine abilities are innate, and there are several of them? How's anyone supposed to live?

"Kill!!"

Just as Bai Shuize was feeling smug, Qin Zi suddenly moved, his body flashing with speed beyond light and electricity!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

In an instant, dozens of Qin Zi's figures appeared on the battle stage, sweeping like a storm, attacking Bai Shuize from different directions.

"You're dishonorable!"

Bai Shuize shouted in shock, but at the same time, Qin Zi's attack had already struck him.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Almost instantly, he endured dozens of attacks, blood flying, cracks appearing all over his body surface.

He suffered a serious injury.

The current Qin Zi has long stepped into the Forbidden Domain; his attack power is unparalleled, within the same realm almost god-like!

"It's useless, I have an Undying Body!"

Bai Shuize gritted his teeth and growled, the cracks on his body surface radiating golden light, then rapidly healing as if welded together.

This is the Martial Emperor's talent!

"Undying? Who can be undying!"

Qin Zi snorted coldly, closing his eyes, then suddenly opening them, at which point, a huge golden pupil spread from his body like a fiercely burning fireball, encompassing Bai Shuize.

"Ah!!"

Bai Shuize only felt his body nearly melting, exclaiming, "What is this?"

Qin Zi said coldly, "The so-called Undying Body is merely about reorganization of particles within the body, thus mitigating harm. But if every particle constituting the body is destroyed, let's see how you reorganize!"

The principle of the Undying Body, his father had explained to him long ago, it was something the Captive Dragon Martial Emperor had spoken of personally in the past.

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to be so intelligent. But do you think that's enough to defeat me?!"

Bai Shuize roared, spreading his limbs, his whole body bursting with endless brilliance. Then, a black and a white sphere flew out from within him, quickly expanding and revolving around him.

"Bang!!!"

These two spheres were incredibly dense, practically invincible. In an instant, they tore apart the fireball that trapped him and then charged towards Qin Zi.

"Nirvana!"

Qin Zi spread open his right hand, a brilliant light emanating from his palm, raising his long hair and illuminating his face.

"Rumble!"

A red and a blue giant bird emerged from his palm, rapidly expanding and entwining as they spiraled upwards. The two completely different forces quickly fused, giving birth to an unfathomable Vast Power.

"Bang!!!"

The two giant birds collided with the two spheres, in an ear-shattering silence, the world lost its colors, leaving everyone's vision blank.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The next moment, a series of explosive sounds echoed from within the endless light, fists landing on flesh, immensely brutal.

Clearly, the two had engaged in hand-to-hand combat, like two beasts, unleashing their most primal power.

Much later.

Finally, everything settled down.

The previously indestructible fighting stage had become shattered beyond recognition, cracks running in all directions, seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment.

The ground was stained with blood!

The figures of two men hovered in mid-air, their clothes reduced to ashes, exposing their upper bodies marked with blood, incredibly bleak.

"You lost."

Bai Shuize said.

"What makes you say that?"

Qin Zi asked calmly.

"Because I haven't used my full strength yet, several of my Lifebound Divine Techniques are still unused!" Bai Shuize said arrogantly with his hands on his hips.

"Then use them."

Qin Zi looked at him with disdain.

"Heh, there's no need... anyway, you've already lost." Bai Shuize shrugged, then mumbled to himself: "As long as I retain my power, no matter how strong you are, I don't count as losing."

"Wa!"

Having said that, he spat out a mouthful of steaming hot blood, which sizzled as it hit the ground.

He quickly wiped away the bloodstains, maintaining a calm expression as he pointed at Qin Zi and said, "For today, I'll spare you. Once you're worth my full strength, I'll suppress you then!"

"Alright."

Qin Zi nodded seriously.

"Hmm?"

Bai Shuize froze momentarily, then suddenly smiled, saluting Qin Zi with cupped hands before flying off the stage.

Watching him leave, Qin Zi's eyes also flashed a heavy look, this person was strong, unimaginably strong...

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

At this time, Qin Zi noticed that meteors in the sky continued to fall to his previous location, accumulating into a small mountain.

He glanced up at the World Tree in the starry sky, his face twitching slightly—this wasn't luck; it was clearly an attempt to crush him with flattery!

He looked around and said, "Everyone, I only need a hundred of these World Source Seeds, the rest are available for anyone who wants them."

Wow!

Everyone looked at Qin Zi in astonishment.

"Are you serious?!"

"You're not joking?"

Qin Zi selected a hundred World Source Seeds, cradled them, and then stepped back a bit, saying, "Please, help yourselves."

The crowd hesitated for a moment.

Then the elite geniuses from the major forces appeared determined and began to walk over.

"Thank you, Celestial Lord!"

"Celestial Lord's kindness reaches the clouds!"

"I'll remember this kindness, I, Ding Xie, swear!"

"We, Undying Mountain, owe you one."

They saluted Qin Zi with cupped hands, then each took a World Source Seed and began to refine them.

Even the young Kings from the two great celestial heavens couldn't resist accepting Qin Zi's gift.

The so-called receiving a favor puts you in debt.

"Sigh, actually you didn't have to do this."

At this moment, a deep, resonant voice sounded in Qin Zi's mind, making his eyes widen suddenly as he looked towards the stars.

The voice was unmistakably from the World Tree!

"Come over."

The World Tree's voice echoed again, and Qin Zi suddenly felt himself enveloped by an irresistible force, disappearing from where he stood.

The next moment.

He appeared in a grey, foggy space, where endless Chaos Energy whirled like a vortex, containing infinite creation.

Not far ahead, a towering tree stood, only a hundred feet tall, clearly a massively reduced version of the World Tree!
