Chapter 10: Double Pupils and Extreme Cold Gaze, Suppressing All

Mu Zhaoxue, who had been watching the battle intently, slightly parted her pink lips after witnessing the scene before her. She felt the power that Qin Bei had just unleashed.

It was definitely beyond 200,000 jins, possibly reaching even 250,000 jins.

Yet, Qin Bei didn’t display any powerful cultivation body, which meant he had personally shattered the barriers of 200,000 jins of strength.

This kind of power was far superior to those who relied on special cultivation bodies to break through the extreme realms.

“As expected of a hidden genius! If this Hun Tian hadn’t shown up, my Wu Nation probably wouldn’t have realized there was such a genius around,” Mu Zhaoxue mused to herself.

With the strength Qin Bei was exhibiting, he was already catching up to Qin Chen. If he were a marriage partner, that wouldn’t be bad at all.

However, this guy was a bit too arrogant and had no sense of restraint, making him not the best candidate for the next generation of Emperor Xia.

…

At last, the Emperor Xia on the dragon throne broke into a smile; Qin Bei truly hadn’t disappointed him.

Wu You, on the other hand, wore a somewhat grim expression. There was no record of such a genius prince in their intelligence reports. The Great Xia royal family had concealed their talents too well.

“You!”

In the arena, the knocked-back Hun Tian stabilized his stance, but his face had changed drastically. The playful glint in his eyes when looking at Qin Bei had vanished.

However, the only response he received was the force of Qin Bei’s fist.

With another clash, Hun Tian found himself facing an even more intense attack. His body was sent flying backward at an alarming speed, nearly exiting the barrier, but he still couldn’t regain his footing.

“Huh~ Xiao Bei really knows how to hide his strength! He’s won this round; let’s see how the people of the Holy Demon Dynasty ruin this marriage now.”

“This time, Xiao Bei has made a tremendous contribution.”

In contrast, Wu You’s expression grew increasingly dark. If Hun Tian lost here, all their plans for the Holy Demon Dynasty would be dashed.

But looking at Hun Tian like this? There was no hope of victory at all.

While Qin Zhen struggled against Hun Tian, he could at least keep up; but against Qin Bei, Hun Tian couldn’t even evade the attacks.

Because this was an absolute suppression of strength.

Just when everyone assumed Hun Tian would be blasted out of the barrier, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Qin Bei, who had been standing still, suddenly unleashed his power, hurtling toward Hun Tian.

“Good job! Just give him one more hit and let Hun Tian suffer some serious injuries!”

Everyone thought Qin Bei was going to deliver another blow, but in the end, he steadied Hun Tian’s body instead.

Prince: ???

Mu Zhaoxue: (?◇?)?

Wu You: (?▽?*)

Only Emperor Xia understood what Qin Bei was intending to do.

“Xiao Bei, do whatever you want. No matter what happens, your father has your back.” The Emperor conveyed to Qin Bei from his throne.

Upon hearing this, a smile curled at the corner of Qin Bei’s lips.

That smile sent chills down Hun Tian’s spine.

He felt like Qin Bei was the real devil, and his own infernal energy looked like that of a child in front of Qin Bei’s gaze.

“What are you trying to do?”

Fear gripped Hun Tian as he was terrorized by Qin Bei’s eyes.

“Don’t be afraid; I’m just borrowing something from you.” With that, Qin Bei struck again.

“You want to kill me?”

Hun Tian realized Qin Bei’s motive, his voice filled with disbelief.

He dared to challenge the Great Xia Dynasty and even injured a prince, but he had never considered killing a prince because he understood the severe consequences.

“You figured that out too late! You should’ve thought of that when you signed the agreement.”

Qin Bei no longer bothered to conceal his intent; he was after Hun Tian’s life.

Because the only way to quickly heal Qin Zhen’s injuries was by obtaining the heart essence of someone with a divine body.

Since Hun Tian dared to hurt Qin Zhen, he should’ve anticipated this outcome.

“You!”

Hun Tian suppressed the urge to scream that they had never gotten his consent for that ludicrous agreement.

But he couldn’t allow himself to be distracted anymore, nor did he hold back his cultivation.

He knew that if it came down to just being in the Body Refinement Realm, he stood no chance against Qin Bei.

“You claimed that the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Body Refinement Realm were no different. Now, I’ll show you just how different they are!”

The power of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment cultivation burst forth from Hun Tian’s body.

Without hesitation, Hun Tian engaged a divine ability unavailable at the Body Refinement Realm.

“HOLY DEMON FINGER!”

With a finger thrust, this attack, combined with the Divine Demon Body, could easily wipe out ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators. It was far stronger than Qin Zhen’s White Rainbow Sword from before.

A smug grin surfaced on Hun Tian’s face.

Though Qin Bei was formidable, he was too arrogant to believe he could face him in the Foundation Establishment Realm with just Body Refinement.

They were all geniuses; even a minor gap in realms mattered greatly, let alone the difference of two major realms.

However, when Hun Tian gazed at Qin Bei, he saw an abyss reflected in his eyes, and to his shock, he discovered two pupils staring back at him.

Then he witnessed Qin Bei directly confronting his Holy Demon Finger with a single punch.

And it shattered his strongest attack!

“How did he know the weakness of my Holy Demon Finger?” Hun Tian’s pupils dilated in a mix of shock and horror.

Qin Bei’s attack, though seemingly casual, had struck right at the heart of his Holy Demon Finger’s vulnerability.

“Double pupils?!” Hun Tian realized the truth; he was no match for Qin Bei, but it was already too late.

He attempted to escape the barrier with the speed granted by his enhancement, but Qin Bei’s mere gaze froze his body in place.

“EXTREMELY COLD GAZE!”

This gaze, imbued with the power of the law, was utterly beyond Hun Tian’s capacity to resist.

As Mu Zhaoxue watched the runes flickering in the depths of Qin Bei’s pupils, she was completely dumbfounded.

“Peerless genius!”

It was the only term that came to her mind to describe Qin Bei.

What about catching up to Qin Chen? If his cultivation speed continued, he could easily surpass Qin Chen!

“Is this the Extreme Cold Gaze? Xiao Bei can actually comprehend a technique infused with the power of the law.”

“Hiss~ Xiao Bei is really skilled at hiding!”

…

Within the barrier, Hun Tian’s fleeing form was completely immobilized, and the next moment, Qin Bei was right in front of him.

BANG!

A punch sent Hun Tian flying backward, and Qin Bei followed up with another swift strike.

BANG!

Hun Tian was battered like a ragdoll, with no ability to defend himself whatsoever.

Hun Tian felt utterly humiliated. He had thought that by recovering to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could dominate Qin Bei. At worst, he could at least hold his ground.

Yet, to his shock, upon regaining his cultivation, he was losing even faster. Qin Bei’s double pupils, combined with the Extreme Cold Gaze, left him without a shred of resistance.

“Emperor Xia! We concede!” Wu You rushed to declare to the Emperor on the dragon throne upon witnessing the situation.

“Concede? Did Hun Tian declare his surrender? Why didn’t I hear it? Did you hear it?” Emperor Xia asked, bemused.

“I haven’t heard any surrender!”

All the ministers and princes understood the Emperor’s intentions and answered in unison.

“Look, did he not surrender?”

“But…”

“Hey! The agreement just stated that people outside the field cannot interfere. Let them be. My son knows his limits.” Emperor Xia waved his hand, cutting Wu You off.

Clearly, he was saying, “So you’re arrogant? Let’s see how you handle this!”

As Qin Bei’s punches landed, even with Hun Tian’s divine body, he couldn’t withstand the impact of each strike—a staggering 300,000 jins of force!
