Qin Jiuge's Strength Revealed! Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer!?

Within the Secret Realm.

The major Sequences gradually reunited with their followers.

Previously, they had been randomly scattered throughout the Secret Realm. Using communication tools, they had continuously made their way toward the major Sequences.

Once the Fifth Sequence's followers successfully met up with him, all four major Sequences aside from Qin Jiuge had reunited with their followers.

Their combat strength instantly multiplied severalfold.

Some Sequences and their followers had even practiced the Combined Attack Art, coordinating with flawless tacit understanding. Their speed and efficiency in slaughtering Fierce Beasts continued to rise!

In contrast, Qin Jiuge remained alone, walking through the Secret Realm, seeming somewhat out of place.

Although every Fierce Beast Qin Jiuge encountered along the way had been instantly slain, with none able to withstand even a single exchange,

two fists could not beat four hands. Qin Jiuge's killing efficiency still could not match that of the other Sequences, who worked in seamless coordination.

Outside the arena.

The Qin Family disciples responsible for tallying the scores continuously wrote and marked the scoreboard with brushes, allowing the watching Qin Family members to more clearly see each Sequence's performance.

According to the scoreboard, Qin Lang was far in the lead.

His number of tally marks was more than double that of the Third Sequence in second place!

Meanwhile, Qin Jiuge, fighting alone, ranked third.

Considering that Qin Jiuge had achieved such results through his own strength alone, the watching Qin Family members could not help exclaiming in admiration.

"As expected of the Second Sequence... and the Second Sequence who has broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

"If he had not been so overconfident, even if he couldn't surpass Prince Qin Lang, he should have been able to secure second place..."

"Why put himself through this? Did breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm make him forget himself? Don't forget, Prince Qin Lang is also in the Dharma Aspect Realm, and he brought followers with him!"

"Alas... all one can say is that this is fate. Perhaps Qin Jiuge is destined to be nothing more than the Third Sequence..."

Just as everyone felt some regret over Qin Jiuge's performance, his actions on the screen instantly drew another round of shocked cries!

Qin Jiuge suddenly stopped killing Fierce Beasts and sat down cross-legged on the spot!

"What is he doing?"

"Why did he suddenly sit down for no reason?"

"He's currently third. If he pushed harder, it's not as though he couldn't catch second place... Besides, if he gives up now, he might not even be able to hold onto third!"

"No, that posture... why does it look like he's cultivating? Could he be about to break through?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the watching Qin Family members all wanted to pry open Qin Jiuge's skull and see whether his brain had filled with water!

Breaking through inside the Secret Realm?

What was he thinking!

Could it be that he wanted to rely on a breakthrough in strength, reaching the Dharma Aspect Second Layer, to catch up with Qin Lang?

The moment that thought surfaced in the watching Qin Family members' minds, nearly everyone instantly rejected it.

Quite a few Qin Family members present possessed cultivation far beyond the Dharma Aspect Realm. They knew that breakthroughs at the Dharma Aspect level generally could not be disturbed!

Normally, those in the Dharma Aspect Realm seeking a breakthrough had to find an absolutely safe, absolutely quiet environment. They also needed a trustworthy, powerful Guardian to protect them before they dared break through with peace of mind.

But this was inside the Secret Realm!

Leaving aside whether he might be obstructed by the other Sequences, the powerful Fierce Beasts alone were enough to make Qin Jiuge's breakthrough come to nothing!

Several clan elders belonging to Qin Jiuge's branch shook their heads and sighed.

"Jiuge, this child... is being far too unwise!"

"Indeed. A breakthrough in the Dharma Aspect Realm is no trifling matter. How can he treat it so childishly?"

"If a Fierce Beast suddenly leaps out, not only will all his efforts come to nothing, he may even suffer backlash and go berserk!"

The elders were so anxious that they wished they could rush into the Secret Realm and guard Qin Jiuge's breakthrough themselves.

At that moment, an astonishing aura erupted from Qin Jiuge's body!

"This is... the aura of the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer?"

An elder rubbed his eyes in disbelief, afraid that he had seen wrongly.

In their view, Qin Jiuge should only have been at the Dharma Aspect First Layer, at most no higher than the Dharma Aspect Second Layer.

Yet judging from the scale of the aura Qin Jiuge had just unleashed, it was indeed something only those above the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer could possess.

For a moment, everyone watching was deeply shaken.

How long had it been?

Qin Jiuge had actually already broken through to the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer?

And judging by this, was he preparing to break through to the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer?

One had to know that three months ago, the strength Qin Jiuge had publicly declared was merely Spiritual Sea Peak!

And now, he had actually reached the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer and was even about to continue breaking through?

"So... this is where your confidence comes from?"

Beside Qin Hai, an elder muttered to himself somewhat haltingly.

Originally, he had harbored considerable resentment toward Qin Jiuge for not bringing followers, believing him to be excessively arrogant.

But now, seeing how formidable Qin Jiuge truly was, he was deeply shocked by both Qin Jiuge's strength and state of mind.

"Jiuge, this child... he hid himself so deeply!"

"He must have... broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm long ago, right?"

As soon as that elder finished speaking, the other elders around him nodded in agreement.

They too believed that Qin Jiuge had entered the Dharma Aspect Realm long ago.

The reason he had kept it secret was to make a single cry that startled the world during the Divine Son Competition.

Now, he had indeed accomplished that.

No one believed that Qin Jiuge had, in the brief span of three months, risen from Spiritual Sea Peak all the way to the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer, or even the Fifth Layer.

After all, breaking through one major realm and five minor layers in succession within three months was simply too astonishing.

Even those monstrous geniuses who had once stood at the peak of the Sky Profound Continent had never possessed such a cultivation speed!

"Hahaha!"

"Excellent! Jiuge is about to break through again..."

Qin Hai and Qin Ming looked at Qin Jiuge on the screen, their smiles incomparably delighted.

At the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer, he would already be two minor layers ahead of Qin Lang, the First Sequence.

Combined with the extraordinary power of the Twin Pupils and the Chaos Body, Qin Jiuge could now defeat Qin Lang as easily as taking something from his pocket!

There was no longer any suspense in the Divine Son Competition!

How could they not be excited? How could they not be thrilled?

Yet excited as they were, Qin Hai and Qin Ming exchanged a glance and saw the same look of shock in each other's eyes.

Thinking back, the last time they had seen Qin Jiuge should have been two months ago?

At that time, Qin Jiuge had only been at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer.

Only two months had passed!

Breaking through one layer every month?

Was this the terror of the Twin Pupils combined with the Chaos Body?

Qin Hai and Qin Ming exchanged a look, and a single thought became incomparably firm in their hearts.

My son will surely become a Great Emperor!

My grandson will surely become a Great Emperor!
