Qin Zhan was at the peak of the God King Realm, only a single step away from the Sovereign Realm. Yet that step might be one he could never take in his lifetime.
Before a Sovereign, there was little difference between an early-stage God King and a peak God King. If a Sovereign wanted you dead, then death was your only road.
The phantom's gaze fell upon Divine Ruins, seeming to pierce through layer upon layer of barriers to see what exactly was happening within.
He slowly stepped toward Divine Ruins, but when he was only one step away, he hesitated for a moment.
He turned around and prepared to leave.
Qin Zhan noticed this and abruptly let out a breath of relief. But before he could rejoice, a powerful force descended from the heavens.
Boom! That overwhelming force brutally pressed down on him. He wanted to evade it, but he simply could not react in time, nor could he do anything about it.
Bang! He was forced to his knees by that power. Pfft! Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth as he felt his body on the verge of collapse.
One strike had severely wounded him, nearly taking his life. At that critical moment, an ethereal voice rang out.
"If you kill Qin Zhan, my Qin Household will surely wage war against the Ye Household!"
The figure sneered. "Are you threatening me?"
"What, do you think this brat can reach the Sovereign Realm?"
"Then I will shatter that dream of his!"
Whoosh! A force surged into Qin Zhan's body, directly cutting off all possibility of his advancing into the Sovereign Realm.
"No!" Qin Zhan roared furiously, but in the end, he still could not escape it.
The Sovereign Realm? There was no longer even the slightest hope for him.
