Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1408: The Second Round Begins!

From the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm, breakthrough to the peak of the First Layer of the Primordial Flower.

The number of divine veins within Qin Chen's body increased by two thousand!

The ancient divine dragon power increased by four strands!

It has become nineteen strands of ancient divine dragon power!

Once it erupts, the power is unimaginable.

"Hoo..."

Qin Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

For others, two days may only be enough to recover some energy.

But, for Qin Chen,

The two days had already brought a significant leap in his strength.

"The Contest Ceremony!"

"In this session, my name, Qin Chen, will definitely be remembered!"

"I will make everyone in the world remember me, Qin Chen!"

At this moment, a powerful belief suddenly surged in Qin Chen's heart.

Then, Qin Chen surveyed the entire cave with his gaze.

As if he was searching for something.

He was looking for a scroll.

According to common sense, once a gatekeeper is defeated, they'll leave rewards and the requirements for the next level.

But unfortunately, Qin Chen couldn't find it.

It is very likely that the scroll had been obtained and destroyed by the previous war demon.

However, the Azure Dragon Divine Demon Life Crystal could not be destroyed by just any war demon, so it was preserved.

Qin Chen shook his head slightly; since this was the case, he didn't bother searching further.

Anyway, he had already obtained the Sixth Level's rewards, and the requirements for passing the Seventh Level were no longer important.

Immediately, Qin Chen left the God Devouring Tower, leaving the God Devouring Crystal.

...

Today,

is the day the second phase of the Contest Ceremony is set to begin.

As expected,

in just two days, Qin Chen's name had spread all across the vast lands of the Great Origin Dynasty.

Everyone was eagerly discussing Qin Chen's wild actions in the Ancient Battle Hall that day.

Upon hearing it, they couldn't help but be astonished, engraving the name Qin Chen in their hearts.

What does it mean to be famous?

The current Qin Chen is the definition of fame!

It's likely only a grand event like the Contest Ceremony, receiving the attention of the entire dynasty, could bring Qin Chen such immense fame!

"The second phase about to unfold today, the rules are unknown, but it certainly won't be like the first phase where everyone starts from zero!"

"That means those top-tier heavenly pride, super evil talents whose strength were pressingly reset to zero in the first phase, will showcase their brilliance right away in the second phase!"

"The first phase could be merely considered a warm-up; next comes the truly thrilling genius battle, the struggle of the extraordinary!"

"That Qin Chen, who drew massive attention in the first phase, might face extreme trouble! It's quite likely he won't even last the second phase and will be eliminated!"

"Too much limelight has never been a good thing, especially since it's only just beginning!"

"The most unfortunate part is that his score was stripped away for unknown reasons! Alas! This is truly a bolt from the blue!"

"I heard about that incident too, it's indeed a shame!"

...

Throughout the Great Origin Dynasty, conversations everywhere were focused on the 'Contest Ceremony'.

At the same time, nearly every discussion about the Contest Ceremony inevitably brought up one name, which was Qin Chen.

This dark horse youth who gained massive attention in the first phase, what will happen to him in the second phase?

Most people, do not have high hopes for Qin Chen.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In the first phase, Qin Chen indeed made too many enemies.

In the upcoming second phase, he's likely going to be targeted.

At the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect's residence,

All combatants had already assembled.

There was no elimination in the first phase.

Therefore, the second phase would surely be different.

"Your performances in the first phase were impressive!"

"Especially you, Qin Chen!"

Huangfu Zhao stood opposite the thirty combatants from the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect, looking gratified.

In the previous session, their Heavenly Blade Saint Sect became a laughingstock.

This session, due to Qin Chen's excellent performance in the first phase, regardless of the outside's opinions, they have at least won back a round temporarily for the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.

"However!"

Huangfu Zhao's expression suddenly became stern: "Remember this! Today's unfolding of the second phase is the true critical situation!"

"I sincerely hope you all can muster all your energy to face the upcoming second phase."

Temporarily offset, that is only temporary.

Whether they can genuinely make the outside look at the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect with new eyes depends on the upcoming situation!

"I hope when the third phase begins, I will still see some of you out there!"

"Remember!"

Huangfu Zhao paused here, scanning each of the thirty individuals including Qin Chen: "The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect will always be your pillar!"

"Do whatever you need, boldly and freely!"

"Behind you, the sect has your back! The sect will provide the greatest protection for you!"

"So, don't be afraid! Don't be timid, although I don't advocate Qin Chen's method, if the opponents come to challenge you, you don't need to be polite or worry too much!"

"Any force that wishes to deal with any one of you outside the rules must first face my blade, Huangfu Zhao!"

Huangfu Zhao's words were quite domineering.

It immediately stirred up a hot-blooded passion among many combatants.

The Heavenly Blade Saint Sect will always be their firmest support, offering them assurance!

The second phase evidently is a true confrontation, offending others is inevitable.

Huangfu Zhao's speech is an admonition to all combatants — there is no need to fear anything, as long as it's within the rules, just go all out!

"We will not let down the Vice Sect Leader's high hopes!"

Qin Chen and the thirty others solemnly cupped their hands towards Huangfu Zhao.

...

In the Primordial Hall, Inner Hall.

As it was two days ago,

Today the inner hall was similarly overcrowded, completely packed, and for those with fear of crowded spaces, it would be overwhelming.

There were more people than two days ago.

Because in past Contest Ceremonies, the first phase was just an appetizer.

The real highlight, the second phase, truly begins now, so many people are showing up on the day to witness the grandeur firsthand.

Witnessing in person is naturally different from watching in front of a projection stone wall.

Huangfu Zhao headed towards the viewing platform.

Qin Chen and the thirty walked towards the central battle platform area.

At this time, in the battle platform area, various factions' combatant teams had begun arriving one after another.

"Qin Chen!"

Mon Tianran, Dao Xiaoyao, and Huaa Ruoran greeted Qin Chen as they saw him arrive, and Qin Chen responded with a smile.

He then took a deep breath, looking toward the dense crowd in the inner hall.

He could envision.

What blood-pumping, adrenaline-fueled scenes would unfold here next.
