Asura Mad Emperor

"Heh, heh, heh, what status do I possess? My life surely cannot be compared to you lowly ants." The youth stood tall and chest out, his eyes full of disdain.

Suddenly, he swept his cold gaze over the crowd and said, "You have two choices: either break through that array and you might have a slim chance of survival,

or my long spear will send you on your way, with certain death."

With his spear pointed at the youth who had spoken up earlier, he said, "Now you're the first to choose: break the array or die!"

The youth's breath was unsteady; to resist was to die, and to attempt to break the array was also to die.

At this moment, Qinchuan could no longer hold back. Although he had taken countless lives in his lifetime and never cared how others viewed him, he couldn't tolerate someone using his name to commit evils right under his nose.

Qinchuan walked out from the crowd at a measured pace and said, "Hold on."

His abrupt voice caught the attention of everyone, including the imposter Qinchuan. All eyes turned to look at him.

Qinchuan continued to speak slowly and calmly: "I have a method that can enter the passage!"

"You have a method to enter this array?"

"Qinchuan's" eyes narrowed, a mix of suspicion, ferocity, and distrust in his gaze.

"It is the Great Enlightenment Mystery Formation of the Ghost Race; I once saw it in an Ancient Book and I know the Oral Incantation to enter the array!"

Qinchuan just made up a name and said.

"Oh? Step forward and speak of the Array Breaking Techniques," "Qinchuan" said with interest, beckoning.

Without delay, Qinchuan moved and vaulted next to the fake Qinchuan, whispering a few words to him.

Qinchuan didn't actually know any Formation Breaking Techniques; instead, he arbitrarily recited an Incantation for a Fire Element Magical Power.

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the false Qinchuan.

"How does this young master know if you are deceiving me? You go ahead and use the Spell to enter."

At this moment, the counterfeit Qinchuan, rather than dwelling on the earlier youth's choice, pointed at Qinchuan saying, he wanted Qinchuan to scout the path for him.

Qinchuan had already anticipated this response and, without showing any signs of inferiority or arrogance, serenely and pretentiously said, "I am naturally very willing to serve Young Master Qin."

Qinchuan wore a smirk on his face, deliberately emphasizing the words 'Young Master Qin' loudly.

The other man failed to catch any hint of the unexpected and laughed heartily: "Good, very good, if you manage to successfully enter the array, you will follow by this young master's side as an attendant. In the future, you will surely transcend the Great Emperor and achieve the God Realm!"

"Then I thank Young Master Qin!"

Qinchuan pretentiously said, and then in an instant, his figure moved and he appeared at the center of the arena.

Upon arriving at the center, Qinchuan didn't hesitate at all; his figure turned into a streak of light and headed straight for the blazing Flame passage.

"Will he make it?"

"I hope he truly knows the method to enter the array!"

Now, many cultivators were coerced by the fake Qinchuan; if Qinchuan failed, certainly, many more cultivators would be forced to attempt to break the array.

Thus, many cultivators were extremely hopeful that Qinchuan would survive.

Qinchuan's movement technique was extremely fast; he didn't hesitate at all, and his form turned into a beam of light that rushed into the Fire passage.

"He's really alright!"

"He succeeded?!"

When Qinchuan entered the Fire passage, where the Netherworld Strange Fire should have burst forth, incredibly, it didn't appear at all.

Qinchuan stood unharmed at the entrance of the passage!

"He truly has the Formation Laws!" In that moment, all cultivators were filled with immense shock.

The fake Qinchuan also had his pupils contract fiercely, with a glint of joy flickering across his face.

But the next moment, he calmed down and beckoned to the young man who had been approached first, "You, come here."

"What instructions does Young Master Qin have?" The young cultivator asked with a bowed fist.

"Cast this spell and enter," Qinchuan said, whispering into the young cultivator's ear.

"This guy, not too stupid," Qinchuan noted the other's actions, realizing that he didn't trust him, which is why he had found another person to test the truth of the oral incantation.

"Alright, Young Master Qin!" Although the young man was reluctant, he now had an oral incantation, which greatly increased his chances of survival compared to his previous random attempts; he did not dare to delay and headed towards the Fire passage.

The young man activated the incantation, cautiously making his way toward the passage.

Qinchuan stood at the entrance of the passage, watching everything calmly.

The Fixed Fire Pearl on him could protect a certain space, and as the cultivator entered the passage, he remained within the range of the pearl's protection.

Hence, when the young cultivator entered the passage, the Netherworld Strange Fire did not appear, and everything seemed safe and normal.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all, it really is the Formation Breaking Mantra, heaven is truly aiding me."

"Qinchuan," seeing that neither person encountered any issues, let go of all suspicions, laughed wildly looking up to the sky, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the passage.

"Indeed, this is the key to breaking the array!"

"Qinchuan," having entered the passage now and with no Strange Fire appearing, was extremely excited.

"Ancient Spells, Ghost Race heritage, Kaitian sacred treasures, here I come, they are all mine! Hahaha!"

From outside the scene, the crowd watched the three people in the passage, their eyes filled with eagerness.

They even envied the young man who had been coerced by "Qinchuan" to try and break through the formation.

Now that only the three of them knew the oral incantation, the treasures behind the passage were truly at the trio's disposal for choosing.

"Young Master Qin, let's hurry, a place guarded by Ancient Strange Fire is sure to be hiding incredible treasures!"

The coerced young man now bore no resentment toward "Qinchuan," even beginning to fawn upon and urge "Qinchuan" onward.

"Yes, let's go!"

"Qinchuan" nodded and spoke to Qin and the young man.

Qin and his companion turned to scout the path ahead.

Just then, the "Qinchuan" behind them suddenly changed expression, and shouted low, "You two ants, dare to seek treasures in the sacred land of ancient times, die!"

Immediately after, Qin and the young man felt an overwhelming force strike them from behind.

"Boom!"

Qin and the young man were blown away.

As Qin was being blown away at that very instant, something odd happened at the location; a bluish Strange Fire appeared all around, engulfing the impostor Qinchuan in an instant.

The Strange Fire flashed past, and the fake Qinchuan turned to dust in an instant.

"What's going on?"

The incident in the passage had occurred too quickly.

The crowd only saw "Qinchuan" unexpectedly strike the two people ahead of him, sending them flying.

And before the crowd could even react, the next moment, they saw "Qinchuan" surrounded and consumed by the bluish Strange Fire, perishing from the path.

"Qinchuan... is dead?"

At this moment, those outside the arena, including the young man beside Qin who had been protected by the Fixed Fire Pearl, were all shocked and speechless.

Qinchuan looked disdainfully at where the fake Qinchuan had disappeared.

Faced with the impostor Qinchuan's sneak attack, he could have easily avoided it, but instead he allowed himself to be moved laterally by the force, leaving the protection of the Fixed Fire Pearl, ultimately leading to the impostor being consumed by the Strange Fire.

It could be said that he brought it upon himself.
