Chapter 262: I'm Here to Run for Divine Son! (3 Updates)
Time passed, and several hours went by.
The powerful figures who came to witness gradually lost their patience. After all, waiting with anticipation is the most excruciating.
They all wanted to witness the Divine Body.
But after waiting half a day, it still hadn't come.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
"If it doesn't appear soon, I'm heading back. I have important matters with Li Wanji at my sect lately."
"I also have things to attend to. There's been trouble in the Dongguan Domain, and I need to go to the Human Race Holy Hall to sort it out."
Everyone began to complain.
The complaints of minor figures were one thing, but even representatives from Emperor Level forces showed their impatience.
Thus, the Sun-Swallowing Palace Master said:
"Everyone, please be patient for a while longer. We will wait another two hours. If they still do not return, then we shall not wait."
"After all, becoming the divine heir doesn't just depend on strength. It also depends on luck and fate. The fact that the Divine Body hasn't come means it's not meant to be."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and continued to wait.
Soon, another two hours were about to pass.
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master looked at the Communication Jade Talisman in his hand and found that the Grand Elder still hadn't responded, so he became extremely irritated.
This Grand Elder!
Failing at a critical moment!!
Actually, he hoped in his heart that the Divine Body could become the divine heir. It was a sentiment—a magnificent and glorious scenario in the years to come with a Divine Body Martial Emperor ruling the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace.
The thought was indeed prestigious.
But the Grand Elder lost contact at the critical moment, and in front of so many people, he couldn't go back on his word.
So he sighed and said:
"Everyone, time is up. Since the Grand Elder and the Divine Body haven't returned, then the new generation of divine heir of my Sun-devouring Imperial Palace is..."
"Wait!!"
At that moment, a young voice rang out, and then everyone saw a young man in black shooting over from the horizon.
"Hmm?!"
Everyone's eyes brightened. Could it be that the Divine Body had arrived?
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master was also pleased in his heart, but his gaze swept around, and he saw no sign of the Grand Elder.
This made him somewhat unsure and he frowned, asking: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I am here to compete for the position of divine heir!"
Qin Zi said spiritedly, his eyes bright and shining.
"Are you the Grand Elder's disciple?"
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master asked.
"Disciple?"
Qin Zi frowned, thought for a moment, and replied truthfully: "The Elder just assessed me for a while and said I am qualified to compete to be the divine heir of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace, but he never took me as a disciple, nor did I officially become one."
Is that so!
Everyone heard this and was slightly taken aback.
But they weren't surprised.
Because many senior figures took disciples without requiring formal acknowledgment, there was no official master-disciple status, yet the relationship was essentially that of master and disciple.
The Grand Elder of the Sun-devouring Imperial Palace should be the same; what they called assessment was actually teaching and protecting this disciple.
They all understood!
The Sun-Swallowing Palace Master also instantly understood, and then he carefully sensed it, finding that this young man had indeed cultivated the Sun Devouring Emperor Scripture.
That aura couldn't deceive anyone.
He thought for a moment and asked: "Are you the Divine Body?"
Qin Zi was taken aback!
Had he been discovered?
But since he was found out, he decided not to hide it anymore.
He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I am indeed the Divine Body, born as a Divine Body!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
In the next moment, dazzling halos of light radiated from within him, a total of ten, brilliantly stunning the world!
"So dazzling!"
"A Divine Body, it's really a Divine Body!"
"Unparalleled in the world, an invincible body!"
"Haha, I actually got to see a Divine Body. This trip was truly worthwhile!"
Everyone marveled endlessly, and some even cheered.
As for Jade Dragon City, who was originally confident of victory, he staggered slightly, his face turning a bit pale.
Divine Body.
The Divine Body really appeared!
That light so blinding and the unfathomable power that seemed ready to erupt at any moment made him feel suppressed.
This was a mental pressure, as well as a physical one, which caused his Dao bones to dim considerably.
"How could this be? Is the Divine Body really so terrifying? Is the Innate Dao Body really insignificant in front of the Divine Body? I don't believe it!!"
He roared frantically in his heart.
In fact, he didn't know that Qin Zi now was no longer purely a Divine Body, but had absorbed the essence of all things and Martial Fortune, transforming once more into a Super Divine Body!
Not to mention an Innate Dao Body, even other Divine Bodies would be suppressed innately upon encountering Qin Zi!
"You, step down."
Qin Zi looked towards Jade Dragon City, speaking domineeringly yet understandably: "Since I'm here, the position of Divine Son can only belong to me!"
"You!!"
Jade Dragon City glared furiously at Qin Zi.
"If you are not convinced, I can help you—until you are convinced."
Qin Zi spoke calmly.
Jade Dragon City's mouth twitched. "Until you are convinced," were his words to Zhao Muxian, now being returned to him.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the timidity in his heart, and said coldly, "Innate physique doesn't mean everything. The truly strong is the person. If you think that a Divine Body is invincible, you're sitting in a well observing the sky!"
"Haha, well said."
Qin Zi laughed coldly, mocking, "Innate physique indeed doesn't mean everything, after all, some people can dig out the Dao Bone of others and transplant it onto themselves... truly, man can conquer the heavens!"
Wow!
As he said this, many people showed bewildered expressions, while those who knew the truth flashed gloomy looks in their eyes.
This matter was indeed disgraceful.
"What are you saying?!"
Jade Dragon City shot a fierce glare, seeming as though his reverse scale had been touched.
"Haha, don't you have a clue about what I'm saying?"
Qin Zi shook his head with contempt, unwilling to say more because this matter actually had nothing to do with him.
But for some reason, he felt a strong aversion to this person—perhaps because he had met the girl named Yu Wanqing.
The girl who was well-educated, gentle, understanding, and possessed a strength far beyond that of ordinary maidens, made him think...
Such a wonderful girl, this beast could bear to harm, not only digging out bones but also sending people to hunt her down.
Truly less than a beast!
"Hmph, whatever your intentions, today it must be settled by strength. A Divine Body isn't invincible either!"
Jade Dragon City snorted coldly, then his chest Dao Bone radiated light, his whole body surrounded by dazzling runes as he charged towards Qin Zi.
"Haha, strength? Are you worthy of discussing strength in front of me?!"
Qin Zi let out a cold laugh, a vast vital energy erupted from within him, instantly filling the sky, like a sea of blood.
"Boom!"
Without any flourish, he directly blasted out a fist, limitless power exploding, breaking all methods with sheer force!
"Pfft—"
The runes surrounding Jade Dragon City exploded loudly, like a boulder thrown into a pond, blasting away a mass of tadpoles.
"Kill!"
Jade Dragon City's face was pale, yet he advanced instead of retreating, rushing towards Qin Zi with determination, instantly arriving.
"Godslaying Slash!"
In a flash, he raised his right hand high, gathering a mass of silver light, transforming it into a sharp blade, slashing fiercely towards Qin Zi's Divine Body.
Wow!
At such a short distance, it's impossible to evade, and the sharpness of the slash made one's scalp tingle.
However, Qin Zi's left hand glowed, perfectly merging the Five Elements Laws of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, attaching them to his palm, then directly grabbing up.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound rang out as Qin Zi caught the terrifying blade, which collapsed instantly, while only a white mark appeared on Qin Zi's palm.
"This!!"
Jade Dragon City's pupils contracted.
Qin Zi's left hand exerted force, directly grabbing his arm, swinging his body around, and smashing it violently onto the ground.
"Bang!"
Yet Qin Zi still didn't let go, yanking him up forcefully, continuing to smash him onto the ground, the ground trembling, smashing again.
"Bang bang bang..."
The crowd could only see Jade Dragon City being pounded against the ground like a stick, the hard ground splintering with numerous fragments flying.
"Ah, die for me!!"
After a long time, the seemingly powerless Jade Dragon City erupted with extremely intense radiance all over his body.
The Dao Bone on his chest blazed brilliantly, gathering countless runes, like nuclear fusion, generating indescribable energy.
"Hmph, wishful thinking!"
Qin Zi grabbed him with his left hand, then his right hand formed into a claw, directly piercing through the central position of his chest.
"Pssh!"
A transparent hole appeared at the front and back of his chest.
Qin Zi's right hand passed through the hole, in his blood-soaked hand, holding a snow-white Dao Bone emitting a blazing glow.
"This... this..."
Everyone stared blankly at this scene.
So overwhelming.
So ruthless!
This Divine Body forcefully crushed the Innate Dao Body in the most brutal manner, directly excavating the Dao Bone!
"Young Master!!"
"You little brat, you're so ruthless!"
The experts of the Yu Family on the square suddenly changed their expressions drastically, some even shooting out murderous intent in their eyes, yet not daring to act rashly.
