Ao Wei was bewildered, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if his soul had been ripped out. Su Chen's powerful strength kept flashing through his mind, each image like a heavy hammer pounding into his heart.
Once, as a Peak Immortal Emperor, he was Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, standing at the top of the Immortal Realm, looking down on all living beings, his heart filled with confidence and pride.
He thought he had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and possessed invincible power. However, Su Chen's appearance completely shattered his understanding!
Su Chen's terrifying power made him realize how insignificant and trivial the power he had once been so proud of was.
What he found most outrageous was that Su Chen's bone age was less than 500!
Such strength at a bone age of less than 500!
That's fucking terrifying!
Ah, no, that's not right!
It scared the dragon!
He began to doubt himself, questioning the meaning of all his years of spiritual practice.
"Am I... really that weak?" Ao Wei murmured to himself, his voice filled with confusion.
Inside the city, Xiao Yue'er stared intently at Su Chen, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Su Chen's strength was too great. Such a brilliant star shone brightly in her world, while she felt as if she were in endless darkness, unable to reach that unattainable light.
Am I really from a different world than him?
This thought kept swirling in her mind, like a sharp thorn piercing her heart.
She refused to believe, nor was she willing to acknowledge, this cruel reality.
Her lips trembled slightly, her hands unconsciously gripped her dress, her fingers turning slightly white from the force, and a stubborn glint flashed in her eyes—a resolute defiance against fate deep within her heart.
However, faced with the insurmountable gap between Su Chen and her stubbornness, her stubbornness seemed so insignificant and powerless.
She stood quietly in place, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair, but unable to dispel the gloom and troubles in her heart. Her deep resentment surged like a raging tide, yet she could find no outlet for it.
Xiao Ziyan stood aside, taking in everything. Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and heartache. Looking at Xiao Yue'er's unwilling expression, she couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth.
She had long known that there was an insurmountable chasm between her and Xiao Yue'er and Su Chen, so she had long kept these feelings hidden deep in her heart, which was why she did not suffer as much as Xiao Yue'er.
She had tried to persuade Xiao Yue'er before, but Xiao Yue'er didn't listen and insisted on trying to get close to someone she couldn't possibly reach.
Seeing Xiao Yue'er's pained expression, she couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to offer some words of comfort, but didn't know how to begin.
Perhaps, remaining silent is a form of comfort?
Therefore, she ultimately said nothing, only gently holding Xiao Yue'er's hand, offering her a sliver of strength and care.
She looked up at the man in white, a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes. However, this melancholy vanished in an instant, replaced by a sense of relief.
Yan Qingwu looked at Su Chen, her heart heavy, but even more so, she was shocked.
Su Chen's actions just now startled her as well.
To be honest, she had never seen or even heard of such a magical and terrifying method.
That's incredible!
That's all she could say.
Ye Lingxi stroked the Hu Xiaotian in her arms, looked at Yan Qingwu, and chuckled, "Sister Qingwu, how was it? Were you startled?"
Yan Qingwu snapped out of her daze and nodded. "It was indeed quite frightening."
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, "Just how strong is this guy?"
Ye Lingxi said, "I'm actually very curious to know too."
Hu Xiaotian opened his eyes and slowly said, "Don't think about it. Even if you knew, what good would it do? Knowing would only make you more desperate."
Yan Qingwu nodded in agreement. "That's true."
Ye Lingxi said helplessly, "Now Qingwu should know how desperate I am, right? Catching up with my brother is too difficult, let alone surpassing him."
Yan Qingwu smiled slightly, "It's alright, we'll work hard together and catch up with him sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxi was taken aback. "Um... Sister Qingwu, what do you mean by that?"
Yan Qingwu looked at Su Chen, her eyes gleaming with a stubborn and determined light, "As his older sister, I can't be weaker than him, can I?"
The time she spent with Su Chen made her acutely aware of the gap between Su Chen. However, this gap did not discourage or frustrate her; instead, it ignited her inner fighting spirit.
It's worth mentioning that she was exceptionally confident, a confidence that seemed innate. When she looked at Su Chen, her eyes shone not only with stubbornness and determination, but also with an unwavering conviction that she could do it.
This is not due to her blind arrogance, but rather stems from her deep understanding and acceptance of herself.
He had already broken through to the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer Peak in less than a thousand years!
In the entire Immortal Realm, apart from Su Chen, who is overpowered, there is no other being with such talent as her!
And this is just from her casual cultivation!
In fact, ever since she embarked on the path of cultivation, her comprehension of cultivation methods has been extraordinary, as if she were born with a profound connection with heaven and earth.
She could grasp the secrets and essence of Cultivation Method Secret Manual that ordinary people would need months or even years to comprehend with just a glance.
His cultivation speed is as fast as lightning, with absolutely no bottlenecks.
However, because cultivation was too easy for her, completely lacking in challenge, and even causing her to feel bored, she had never deliberately cultivated over the years. She usually did things for Qin An and managed some affairs of the Mystic Hall.
Even in this state, she was able to break through to the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer Peak before she was even a thousand years old. It has to be said that the word "monster" is not enough to describe her.
It wasn't until she witnessed Su Chen's outrageous strength that her fighting spirit for cultivation was rekindled!
A strong desire welled up in her heart; she longed to be as powerful as Su Chen, and even hoped to surpass him and reach a higher peak in cultivation.
So she decided that once everything was over, she would embark on the path of cultivation again, to catch up with Su Chen, and to seek even greater power!
She was confident that as long as she put in the effort, she would eventually be able to shorten the distance between herself and Su Chen.
Sooner or later.
Yan Qingwu is absolutely capable of catching up!
Even surpass!
Ye Lingxi was stunned for a long time, then finally smiled slightly, "Then, Sister Qingwu, let's work hard together!"
She seemed to have understood Yan Qingwu's meaning, which put some pressure on her!
Let's give away some free gifts, guys!
That gives me motivation!
