Twin Pupils Phenomenon, Shrouding the Sky and Covering the Sun!

Just as the several Sequences stood in astonishment.

Qin Jiuge took another step forward.

With his movement, the aura radiating from his body surged once more!

In almost the span of a single breath, it had reached the Dharma Aspect Second Layer!

The several Sequences could hardly believe their eyes...

Was this person really Qin Jiuge?

He had actually broken through to the Dharma Aspect Second Layer?

"Qin Lang... I had originally thought that among our generation, you were invincible... But now it seems that Qin Jiuge is not inferior to you in the slightest..."

Qin Qing'er's beautiful eyes held a trace of provocation as she mocked Qin Lang.

All along, as the First Sequence of the Qin Family's generation, Qin Lang had left every one of them far behind.

Even if the others were dissatisfied with his arrogance and conceit, they had to admit that Qin Lang was indeed formidable.

But now that Qin Jiuge had displayed a realm no weaker than Qin Lang's, how could she possibly miss this chance to kick a man when he was down and strike at Qin Lang?

"Hmph! He is only at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer, the same realm as me! I possess the Nine Dragon Divine Body!"

Qin Lang snorted in displeasure, his tone brimming with pride.

Though they were both at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer, he possessed the Nine Dragon Divine Body. Fighting above his realm was no difficult feat for him.

Even if Qin Jiuge was in the same realm as him, it was nowhere near enough to make him panic.

But at that moment, Qin Jiuge moved again.

He stood upon the void and took another step forward, his aura soaring once again.

Dharma Aspect, Third Layer!

Qin Lang began to panic...

Qin Jiuge's realm had already surpassed his.

Though the Nine Dragon Divine Body was incomparably miraculous and allowed one to fight above one's realm.

Qin Jiuge was no pushover either. He possessed the Profound Fire Divine Body as well, and his strength could not be underestimated!

As Qin Lang panicked, Qin Jiuge took two more steps.

With every step he took, his strength surged once.

By the time he took the final step, Qin Jiuge's aura had reached the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer!

At the same time, he arrived before the countless demonic beasts.

Qin Jiuge floated in midair, gazing down at the demonic beasts below with disdain, as though they were pigs and sheep he could slaughter at will.

The several Sequences and their followers below had been utterly dumbfounded...

Was this a joke?

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

One had to know that Qin Lang, the First Sequence, was only at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer!

Did that not mean that the First Sequence among the Qin Family's younger generation was not Qin Lang, who had always been far ahead of everyone else, but Qin Jiuge, who had hidden himself so deeply?

A ridiculous feeling rose in the hearts of the several Sequences at once.

This was simply impossible!

Less than three months had passed since the last Preliminary Selection!

At that time, Qin Jiuge had merely been at the Spirit Sea Peak Realm.

How could he possibly break through five minor realms in succession within such a short three months?

The several Sequences exchanged glances, deep wariness rising in their hearts.

They thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

That was that Qin Jiuge had been holding back all along!

He had been hiding his strength the entire time!

Qin Family, training ground.

The Qin Family members watching the battle were likewise shocked when they saw Qin Jiuge's aura erupt all the way to the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer.

Moreover, judging by Qin Jiuge's series of actions, could it be that he truly intended to face all the demonic beasts head-on?

Although Qin Jiuge's strength was now vastly different from before, and he had reached the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer.

To deal with demonic beasts covering the mountains and plains, let alone the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer, even the Dharma Aspect Ninth Layer would be completely incapable of it!

Qin Yu, the Patriarch who had been seated all this time, swallowed and turned to look at Qin Hai beside him, his tone filled with concern. "Uncle Hai, Jiuge is being a little too impulsive!"

Seeing the protagonist's strength, the Patriarch spoke with some concern.

"With his strength, even if he proceeded step by step, he could still win the Divine Son Trial."

"Isn't this approach far too risky?"

Although Qin Yu was Qin Lang's father, as the Patriarch of the Qin Family, he still had to place the Qin Family's interests first.

The strength and talent Qin Jiuge had displayed were enough to prove that he was a more outstanding candidate for Divine Son than Qin Lang.

For the Qin Family's prosperity, Qin Yu could not allow Qin Jiuge to take such a great risk.

Because their opponents were not Qin Hai or Qin Jiuge, but the other three Immortal Imperial Clans, as well as the mysterious and unfathomable Holy Lands.

Only by selecting the strongest person as Divine Son to inherit the position of Patriarch in the future could they ensure that the Qin Family would flourish without decline.

When Patriarch Qin Yu spoke, several clan elders hurriedly chimed in as well. "That's right, Brother Hai... Jiuge's talent is simply too outstanding!"

"However, fighting over a thousand demonic beasts alone is truly far too risky. I think that if Jiuge cannot hold out later... we can open the Secret Realm in advance and protect Jiuge!"

"That's right! Jiuge's talent does not lose to the Holy Lands' Holy Sons at all. If such a genius were lost in the trial, it would be a loss for our Qin Family!"

"I agree as well! Let's first see how things develop. If Jiuge truly cannot prevail, then even if we have to open the Secret Realm, we must save him!"

Faced with everyone's suggestions, Qin Hai waved his hand with complete confidence. "There is no need... For tens of thousands of years, this has been the Qin Family's rule. The Secret Realm cannot be opened at will during the Divine Son Trial!"

"Although Jiuge is my grandson, I cannot break the Qin Family's rules of many years for his sake!"

Qin Hai's words rang like metal striking stone.

Qin Yu and the several Great Elders looked at Qin Hai. Seeing not the slightest trace of concern on his face, they could not help but grow suspicious.

Qin Hai was so confident—could it be that Qin Jiuge still had some hidden method?

But even if Qin Jiuge broke through once more and reached the Dharma Aspect Sixth Layer, he still could not withstand the siege of so many demonic beasts!

There were over a thousand demonic beasts here, including quite a few at the Dharma Aspect Fifth Layer and above!

How could Qin Jiuge possibly fend off the siege of so many demonic beasts by himself?

Just as everyone was astonished by the strength Qin Jiuge had displayed, as well as the trump cards he might still possess.

Qin Jiuge, standing in the void, finally moved.

He slowly closed his eyes and stepped through the air.

The next moment, Qin Jiuge opened his eyes.

Four pupils appeared on the screen.

Twin Pupils, unleashed!

A terrifying aura spread out in an instant!

Clusters of dark clouds emerged from nowhere, instantly blotting out the previously clear sky!

The blazing sun was also obscured by the thick clouds.

In the sky, an eye with four pupils emerged from the void...
