The clash between Lu Chen and the Ruthless Lineage's Half-Saint Protector was ferocious beyond measure. It drew the attention of everyone within the thirty-six levels of the Ancestral Temple, its terrifying might leaving them shaken.
Both unleashed every means at their disposal. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, Buddhist mantras, the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art, Flying Immortal Power, and other unrivaled secret techniques blazed in succession. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
Bam!
Their combat strength had already reached the domain of true Saints. They shattered the ancient temple covered in Saint-level Dao patterns, sending fragments inscribed with Sages' insights and scriptures flying in every direction.
Lu Chen reached out and seized a massive fragment of the hall. An account of a Sage's insights was engraved upon it. No one would ever complain of having too many treasures like this.
The Ruthless Lineage's Half-Saint Protector did the same. A black vortex appeared and drew two fragments of the ancient hall toward him.
Other powerful cultivators seized the opportunity to collect the remaining fragments. The Saints' scriptures and insights engraved upon them were priceless treasures to any cultivator.
"Not a single inheritor of the Ruthless Great Emperor is ordinary." Lu Chen stared at the Half-Saint elder with a measure of gravity. For the first time, he had personally experienced the terror of the Female Emperor's inheritance.
"Heh..." The elder shrouded in darkness said nothing more. His eyes merely shone with a chilling light as an icy laugh escaped him, making everyone's hair stand on end. An aura that threatened to devour all things spread around him.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!" Lu Chen roared and unleashed his invincible fist technique for a killing blow. He did not want to spend too much time entangled with this opponent now.
