Chapter 286: 179 Chapter: Divine Yuan Realm Combat Ability! Killing Chu Dingqian! The Life-Prolonging Furnace Emerges! Five Great Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors!_4

He had already tried to send a message outside, but every attempt had sunk like a stone into the sea, all failing without exception, which weighed heavily on Chu Dingqian’s mind.

The other party came prepared.

“Tap Tap”

Listening to the rhythmic footsteps echoing in the corridor, Chu Dingqian’s spirit shook with each step, as if they trod directly upon his heart, bringing immense pressure upon him.

He knew that the enemy had instantly broken through the Yin and Yang Demon Slaying Formation, concealed all movement, cut off internal and external communication, and now approached with slow, confident steps, indicating that this adversary was extremely confident in their own strength.

Chu Dingqian speculated that this person must be a peerless powerhouse at the peak of the True Martial Realm, and most likely, a warrior at the level of the Divine Yuan Realm.

Chu Dingqian held his breath and concentrated, his right hand grasping the Soul-Cultivating Furnace tightly, his nerves stretched to their utmost.

As a king at the pinnacle of the Sixth Heaven of the True Martial Realm, if he were to fully activate the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, he could still unleash unmatched might.

After all, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace was a Supreme Grade Heaven Rank magical treasure, a top-tier weapon of the Divine Yuan Realm. Although he couldn’t fully activate it, it was still possible for him to unleash combat ability worthy of the Nine Heavens of the True Martial Realm.

Even though his raw strength was inferior to that of the enemy who had come to attack him, the assailant’s overconfidence gave him a chance. If only he could seize the opportunity to strike with the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, even an unwary Divine Yuan Realm Emperor would suffer a grievous injury.

What kept Chu Dingqian’s mind taut was the fact that the corridor was clearly very short, only about a dozen meters, yet the footsteps kept resounding. More than ten breaths had passed, and by all logic, the attacking enemy should have already entered the grand hall.

“Not good!”

A flash of insight crossed his mind, and realizing his own perception had been affected, Chu Dingqian didn’t hesitate to fully activate the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and unleashed a blast beside him.

As Chu Dingqian attempted a counterattack, Han Li’s fist had already thundered forward, its brilliance overpowering the world, commanding the Eight Wastes and Nine Heavens, with an overwhelming might, it struck the Soul-Cultivating Furnace heavily.

Boom!

The Soul-Cultivating Furnace and Chu Dingqian were sent flying together, the furnace crashing heavily onto Chu Dingqian, exacerbating his injuries.

“You’ve realized too late.” Han Li’s voice resounded at that moment.

That punch carried the combat ability of the Third Heaven of the Divine Yuan Realm, and for the sake of caution, Patriarch Han had also triggered his Divine Sense, not wanting to take any chances.

What could Chu Dingqian use to defend?

He couldn’t defend at all!

“Puh~”

Chu Dingqian spat out a mouthful of blood, his body falling from the wall to the ground, his expression wilted, looking at Han Li in utter shock.

This man was too strong, undoubtedly an Emperor of the Divine Yuan Realm!

Just one punch not only shattered the attack from the Soul-Cultivating Furnace and cracked it open, but also severely injured him, a powerhouse in the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm. freёnovelkiss.com

Now his body was falling apart, with a huge fist imprint on his chest. The powerful and domineering intent behind the punch was eroding his physical body, wearing away his True Yuan, continuously weakening his strength.

After taking that punch, his strength plummeted to less than a tenth of what it was, and it continued to decline. His life was hanging by a thread.

“You! Who! Are! You?”

Chu Dingqian articulated each word, his face heavy with reluctance. He had planned everything carefully, and the situation had evolved as he had expected, so why had he suffered this sudden attack?

If he had another forty years, he could succeed in seizing a new body and be reborn, and after another two or three hundred years of cultivation, he could return to the True Martial Realm. Why wouldn’t the heavens allow him to live a third life?

Chu Dingqian was filled with hatred!

Knowing that his death was inevitable, his tone was filled with bitter resentment, and his murderous intent was icy cold, not concealed in the slightest.

“Even for great beings and Saints, being reborn and living a second life is incredibly difficult. You, a mere True Martial Realm warrior, had the audacious desire to defy the natural order and live a third life. Did you think you wouldn’t encounter calamity?”

Han Li’s tone was indifferent, his face revealing an unfathomable expression.

At this moment, he was using Han Li’s appearance, not Li Feiyu’s, so Chu Dingqian did not recognize him.

“I just wanted to live a third life. Why block my path? I! Am! Not! Willing!”

A look of grief and indignation appeared on Chu Dingqian’s face. He had already succeeded in being reborn once and his plans for a third life had been successful, but this sudden disaster was too hard to accept. How could he be willing?

Han Li shook his head slightly, seized Chu Dingqian, and with a surge of True Yuan, sealed the remnant of his strength.

Ignoring Chu Dingqian’s resentful and hateful gaze, Han Li directly probed his soul. After the soul-search was complete, Han Li swiftly ended his life with a palm strike.

He did not want to waste words with Chu Dingqian. What was done was done; killing him was the simplest solution.

Since his growth up to this point, he was no longer the Han Li of the past. Decades ago, he might have been reluctant in his heart to give Li Deshun a chance at life, but not anymore.

Now, his actions were decisive, exterminating any potential threat without wanting to bear the consequences. If he inadvertently brought upon serious trouble, it would be disastrous.

“Sigh” Han Li heaved a sigh, feeling that he had indeed changed a lot.

Although he remained cautious and low-profile, his actions had become more resolute—kill when necessary, remove the roots completely, never showing leniency.

If Chu Dingqian had been willing to give up the Soul-Cultivating Furnace during their transaction, not only would Han Li have spared his life, but he would have also offered him tremendous benefits, sincerely supporting his rebirth and re-cultivation.

But Chu Dingqian had chosen another path, one that stood in Han Li’s way. Well, he couldn’t blame Han Li then. The Cultivation Realm was indeed so cruel.

If he were in Chu Dingqian’s shoes, Han Li knew that he would never hand over the Soul-Cultivating Furnace to a True Martial Realm king of unknown origins, even if it meant the protection of the Daqian Empire for hundreds of years.

After reflecting, Han Li’s Daoist heart returned to peace. He casually stowed Chu Dingqian’s corpse and the Soul-Cultivating Furnace into the System Space and then cleared all traces.
