Chapter 286: The Conflict of Myriad Races

Luo Xinyi stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Qin Hao as he staggered to his feet. She felt not a shred of pity, mocking him, "Weren't you quite arrogant when you first arrived? Why aren't you barking anymore? A little brother is just a little brother! If you want to act tough in front of Qin Xuan, go back and Cultivate for another hundred thousand years! You will never be Qin Xuan's match in this lifetime; you are destined to be a coward trampled under Qin Xuan's feet!"

Qing Ning remembered that Qin Hao's Supreme Bone only became whole because of the Supreme Bone powder crushed by her Young Master, and her anger flared up even more, "Do you know why your parents left you?"

"Because in their eyes, they had already recognized reality. They knew that their actions were inhumane and completely meaningless."

"They abandoned you, just as they abandoned my Young Master back then."

"However, my Young Master is different from you. He strives for self-improvement, while you will forever be nothing but a Puppet of the Supreme Bone!"

"..."

Pfft!

Qin Hao, stumbling and reeling, spat out a mouthful of heart's blood.

He clenched his iron fists so tightly that he didn't even realize his nails were digging into his flesh.

"No! My parents did not abandon me."

"And I haven't lost! As long as I don't die, I can still turn defeat into victory!"

"Sooner or later, I will trample Qin Xuan under my feet. I will use him as a stepping stone and soar to the heights!"

Bang!

With a dull thud, Qin Hao was hit by something unknown, pitched forward, and fell flat on his face.

He dared not waste any more time, terrified of dying here, and fled in a sorry state without looking back.

Luo Xinyi turned around, looking at Su Youyu who was hiding behind her, and scolded, "Su Youyu, aren't you going too far?"

"You were annoyed, so you ambushed him, but why hide behind me? You can't beat Qin Hao, and I can't beat him either!"

Su Youyu twisted the hem of her ru skirt and whispered with a sheepish smile, "Hehe, I'm used to it. Sorry about that."

Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze from the bickering women and, looking at Luo Xianxian, asked directly, "Speak. Why did you make a special trip to come here?"

"There are too many eyes and ears here. Let's go inside to talk."

Luo Xianxian lowered her head and walked into the Underworld Kings Mansion, making her way to the reception hall to take a seat.

She familiarly picked up the tea Qing Ning had poured, drank it in one gulp, then glanced around, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I came here this time just to find Qin Xuan. You all..."

Clearly, Luo Xinyi and the others present were not included in the circle she intended to be open with.

Qin Xuan waved his hand indifferently, "If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, just go back, prepare the compensation in full, and send someone to deliver it."

Luo Xianxian was the one asking for a favor now.

Was she really going to put on airs?

Luo Xianxian shot Qin Xuan a glare, bit her tender lips, and muttered resentfully, "Fine, I'll say it, okay?"

In fact, Qin Hao coming here was partially due to the Celestial God Clan's deliberate intent. It was to test Qin Xuan's true strength.

But she hadn't expected Qin Hao to make such a scene, completely losing control, and treating even her words as if they were wind passing by her ears.

What horrified her even more was that she hadn't expected Qin Hao to be defeated so cleanly and swiftly.

You must know that even within the Celestial God Clan, Qin Hao's combat power is an absolute standout among his peers.

Such a Prodigy was not even a match for a single blow before Qin Xuan, who was in the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm.

Qin Xuan's terrifying combat power could no longer be measured by his Realm.

Other Prodigies cross major Realms to fight ordinary Cultivators, but Qin Xuan—this freak—crosses major Realms to crush other Prodigies!

If her father were here, he would also be exceptionally courteous to Qin Xuan and grant him special honors. Qin Xuan was worth their Celestial God Clan making an exception.

"Actually, I came here for only one thing: to invite you to go to our Celestial God Clan's ancestral grounds, enter the God Ruins, and carve out a resounding reputation for our Celestial God Clan!"

Luo Xianxian looked at Qin Xuan and explained sternly, "In the past, our Celestial God Clan would select Geniuses from various races to enter the God Ruins. Anyone who left behind even a few deeds in the God Ruins is now a renowned powerhouse on this land!"

"For example, Halberd Saint Ming Yue, the Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace, and the current Great Emperor Ziyang have all entered the God Ruins and obtained immense Opportunities."

Luo Xinyi suddenly frowned and muttered to herself, "God Ruins... I seem to have heard this name from my father. So it's in the Celestial God Clan's ancestral grounds. No wonder it was never publicized."

Those considered Geniuses in the eyes of the Celestial God Clan were existences like the Halberd Saint Ming Yue, the Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace, and the Great Emperor Ziyang. Ordinary Prodigies were simply beneath the notice of the Celestial God Clan.

Su Youyu muttered softly in confusion, "The strength of the Celestial God Clan is obvious to all. Carve out a resounding reputation in the God Ruins? Killing whom? If the Celestial God Clan truly had mortal enemies in the entire Hongmeng Continent, why go to such great lengths?"

"Besides, even the Mingyue Imperial Dynasty and the Ziyang Empire can enter the God Ruins, so clearly the Celestial God Clan's enemies are not the royal families of these two Imperial Dynasties. If there were a race capable of contending with the Celestial God Clan, why have we never heard of it?"

Based on the information they knew, the Celestial God Clan was the most ancient existence on this continent. Apart from the Mingyue Imperial City and the Ziyang Empire, there was nothing else capable of contending with the Celestial God Clan.

If there really were such a powerful race that could leave the Celestial God Clan in dire straits, how could they remain unknown on the Hongmeng Continent?

Luo Xianxian shook her head, "There is a great secret hidden within this. I cannot speak of it. Once Qin Xuan enters the God Ruins, he will naturally know."

Empress Zhou Wu chuckled and said casually, "What is there that cannot be said? Is it not just that there are other races within the God Ruins? Is it not just that our continent is not complete?"

As Empress Mingyue, the fact that she had not entered the God Ruins did not mean she did not know the inside story. Among the renowned powerhouses on this continent today, who didn't know the secret of the Celestial God Clan? It wasn't that the Celestial God Clan was deliberately hiding it; it was just that those with low Realms simply couldn't come into contact with it.

"There are other races?"

"What does it mean that the continent is not complete?"

"Shangguan Ying, where did you learn this information?"

Luo Xinyi, Su Youyu, Wu Bingqing, and even Zhou Chen all looked at Shangguan Ying with curiosity. Even they were hearing this news for the first time. How could a little girl like Shangguan Ying, who was still wet behind the ears, have known this?

Empress Zhou Wu remembered that she was currently in Shangguan Ying's body. She looked around and explained circuitously, "I am the Young Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace. The Palace Master has been to the God Ruins, so naturally, she knows the secrets hidden within. As my sister and I are the future rulers of the Double-Pupil Palace, what secrets could there be that my sister and I are not allowed to know?"

She looked at Luo Xianxian and said with dissatisfaction, "Should I continue with what comes next, or will you do it yourself?"
