Chapter 120.1: You Are Not A Great Supreme

In the Xingyuan Demon Cavern.

The auras of several Supremes were rapidly approaching, with even a Great Supreme among them.

Chen Huan looked at Qi Yuan. "We're doomed. We won't be able to get away!”

For some reason, he felt that Qi Yuan had been momentarily dazed just now.

"The ones who can't escape are them. I have become a Supreme," said Qi Yuan.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, the cycles of time instantly cleared away, as if he had lived through countless ages. His enlightenment ended, and he returned to the game's present world.

Chen Huan was shocked, then overjoyed. "Brother, you advanced to Supreme?!"

He felt that Qi Yuan had become even more unfathomable and mysterious. Wasn't he still a Mythwalker just now? How did he suddenly become a Supreme? Did he comprehend his Origin? Did he awaken an Origin Divine Technique?

Qi Yuan was about to carry out his meticulous plan. "Now, it's time for the third step of my plan: slay the incoming enemies!"

"That's impossible! You just reached Supreme! They have a Great Supreme whose Origin Divine Technique has reached the Engraving stage!" At the mention of "engraving," fear flashed through Chen Huan's eyes. "Once an Original Divine Technique reaches the Engraving stage, even if you find its flaw, you still can't defeat it!"

Qi Yuan naturally understood. Through fleeing with Ning Tao and mastering the Human-Demon Path, he had learned more about Supremes.

An early-stage Supreme's Origin Divine Technique would be at the Limited stage. It was unstable, extremely consuming, and limited by time exhaustion.

A mid-stage Supreme's Origin Divine Technique would be at the Subtle stage, allowing them to control it with absolute precision, wasting not a shred of power.

As for late-stage Supremes—or the Great Supremes—they had reached the legendary Engraving stage. Their divine techniques were engraved into their bodies and souls, capable of manifesting on their own.

The gap between a Great Supreme and an early Supreme was far too great. Even if it became a battle of attrition, they could drain his Origin Divine Technique dry.

"Engraving is indeed strong." Qi Yuan grinned. "But it's been tens of thousands of years since I last killed anyone. I'm starving. I've piled up so much killing intent, I'll scare him to death with it!"

Inside the Myriad Phenomena Gate, Qi Yuan had sat in meditation for who-knows-how-many years. He had forgotten time and himself. He truly had not killed anyone in a very, very long time.

Chen Huan increasingly felt that his big brother was extremely unreliable. "Brother, did you forget we just killed a Supreme and a bunch of Mythwalkers?"

At times, Qi Yuan was profound and unfathomable; at others, completely unserious. To be fair, Chen Huan had his laid-back moment too, but he really didn't want Qi Yuan to be playing around right now.

Though their conversation seemed long, it took less than two breaths.

The terrifying aura finally descended. Six Supremes stood in midair, surrounding Qi Yuan and Chen Huan from all directions.

The Purple Daoist narrowed his deep eyes, surprise flickering within. "How did you two kill Supreme Yubai?"

As he spoke, his gaze locked entirely onto Qi Yuan. Chen Huan was completely ignored. The other Supremes also stared at them in shock.

After all, Supreme Yubai was renowned for her strength. Even two Supremes working together wouldn't kill her that fast. Yet these two had done it. Did they have some secret?

The six of them wore different expressions, each harboring their own thoughts.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell upon the Purple Daoist, sharp as a blade. He said coldly, "Were you the one who sent Wu Tong to ambush me? Where did you get the nerve?"

Before a fight, momentum must never be lost! Even village dogs bark loudly before fighting, don't they? This Purple Daoist had inexplicably ambushed him, there had to be a reason.

The others stared at the Purple Daoist as well.

He ambushed the City of No Return’s guardian? Did he come to the Thousand Cities with some hidden agenda?

The Purple Daoist did not explain. His sleeve flicked. "Capture the city guardian alive. As for the other one, kill him."

Chen Huan exploded. "I'm the White Supreme’s disciple! Catch me alive just like Big Brother, is that so hard?!"

The remaining five Supremes instantly struck at Chen Huan. Five terrifying Origin Divine Techniques descended upon him. If they hit him, he'd lose at least a layer of skin, if not die outright.

"Brother, save me!" Chen Huan turned into a streak of light, fleeing as the five divine techniques chased tightly behind.

Through voice transmission, Qi Yuan guided Chen Huan. Now that Qi Yuan was stronger, he could easily see the flaws in those five divine techniques.

Chen Huan brightened. "Brother, you're basically my real dad!"

With divine assistance, he slipped through the five attacks. Yet one still grazed him, slicing off half an arm. Chen Huan gritted his teeth in pain.

The six Supremes were shocked. Their gazes snapped toward Qi Yuan—surprise, fear, delight filling their eyes.

Though the world was a game, it wasn't turn-based. Qi Yuan had held back to observe and see through their Origin Divine Techniques. A cultivator's divine techniques reflected their true heart—their dao. Attacking straight at their heart was the easiest way to provoke their inner demons.

"Now it's my turn,” said Qi Yuan.

The five Supremes suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of terror. Only the Purple Daoist remained calm, narrowing his eyes. He had a feeling that the city guardia could kill every Supreme present except for him, which suited him perfectly.

The secrets and treasures of City of No Return should fully belong to him!

Qi Yuan stepped forward, his robe fluttering despite the absence of wind. Instantly, his robe turned blood-red. Standing still, his eyes became deep and hollow, as if originating from the abyss.

Ruler of the Void - Inner Demon Lure!

He instantly activated his Origin Divine Technique.

Then, he looked at a female Supreme.

Lust — The Crimson Lotus Inferno!

At once, crimson flames erupted across her, burning away her clothes.

"No!" Her left eye was filled with terror, while the right one filled with desire. A demonic aura seeped from her, and she seemed about to explode.

Qi Yuan's gaze shifted to a man in white robes.

Arrogance — The Eye of Heaven!

Qi Yuan muttered, "I hate pretentious people the most. Only I can do that!"

As soon as he said that, a grotesque demon appeared on the white-robed man. With an immeasurably arrogant gaze, it wrapped its arms around the man's neck like dry bark. It scraped its needle-like fingers on his spine, sending shivers down his spine, as if a centipede were crawling all over him.

"What is that?!" He struck his own neck with an Origin Divine Technique, spitting blood from his mouth.

More bizarre aura spread through the battlefield. The five Supremes displayed terror, greed, or lust. Their minds were under assault.

Watching from afar, Chen Huan was both shocked and horrified. He sneaked a glance at Qi Yuan. He really wanted to ask,

What the hell are you?

Yet he didn't dare. The scene was far too horrifying. His big brother, the Guardian of the City of No Return, seemed like a major villain. Qi Yuan's divine technique summoned inner demons. Which cultivator wasn't terrified of them?

But Big Brother...

Chen Huan suddenly thought of something and fear flickered across his face.

Qi Yuan stared at the five Supremes, smiling eerily. "You've lived so long and wasted so much food. It's about time you die."

The five Supremes' auras vanished instantly. Their inner demons burst forth, killing them on the spot. Since they hadn't died naturally, no demons were formed from them.

Five powerful Supremes died in humiliation.
