Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 987 940: God of Death! (Double Chapter)

"So, this is the High Priest you mentioned earlier." Qin Heng kicked the Black Stone Town Chief, sending him rolling to the side of the High Priest. He then walked over slowly and said calmly, "Answer my question from earlier."

His purpose for luring out this High Priest was to investigate what the so-called "divine empowerment" of the Black Stone Town Chief really was, and why it was exactly the same as a power he had encountered in his previous life.

Now that the High Priest was here, there was no reason for Qin Heng to hold back or delay; he could just knock him down directly.

"Who... who exactly are you, and how are you so powerful!?" The High Priest struggled to lift his head. He already realized that the originally boundless power within him had dissipated, and he was gravely injured, yet he couldn't believe this reality.

Even though he had received divine power and possessed strength comparable to a Great Saint, why was he reduced to such a state by a mere Sect Master's cold hum? It was simply impossible!

It was utterly bewildering!

The High Priest could not comprehend the current situation at all and even suspected he was hallucinating.

"You can call me Qin Xuantian," Qin Heng said indifferently.

"What, Qin Xuantian!?"

"The one hailed as the First of All Time, oh my heavens!!"

Both the High Priest and the Black Stone Town Chief exclaimed in disbelief, their gazes at Qin Heng filled with shock, their eyes nearly popping out, followed by deep regret!!

Regret so deep it turned their guts green!

If only they had known it was Qin Xuantian, they should never have acted against him!!

This is one of the world's current top-tier powerhouses. Even Great Saints of the Nine Heavens might not be his match. With their pathetic skills, they dared to provoke such a formidable being!!

Courting death!

It truly was courting death!!

The High Priest and the Black Stone Town Chief turned pale, their faces filled with despair. Even though they were in Northern Europe, they had heard of Qin Heng's achievements and knew of his might.

Gu Xuanxuan also widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Qin Heng with astonishment, saying, "You, you are actually Qin Xuantian, the legendary First of All Time, this, this is amazing, I, I actually always admired Qin Xuantian!!"

Since the recovery of spiritual energy, the importance of individual combat power has been elevated to the extreme. As a result, those with exceptional power naturally garner a lot of attention, even adoration. Like Qin Heng, who at a young age is reputed as the First of All Time and possesses terrifying achievements, his fame had reached an unprecedented peak.

The surrounding people were also amazed, with a sense of sudden realization. No wonder this youth appeared to be of tender years yet held such fearsome power, for he was already a renowned supremacist!

Qin Xuantian, hailed as the First of All Time!

However, having only heard of him before, seeing Qin Xuantian in action now, watching as a single cold hum brought their esteemed High Priest plummeting from the sky with no power to fight back, left them utterly stunned!!

So strong!

Truly, so incredibly strong!!

Despite the surrounding people's shock, Qin Heng didn't mind much. His gaze remained fixed on the High Priest and the Black Stone Town Chief, looking down at them as he calmly said, "Alright, now that I've answered your question, you should answer mine too. Who granted you this so-called 'divine power'?"

Earlier, Qin Heng had already discovered that the power on this High Priest was not cultivated by himself but was directly accepted from an external source, that is, power granted by someone else.

"Do you wish to obtain the power I possess?" The High Priest raised his head, looking at Qin Heng with disdain, sneering, "Don't foolishly fantasize. Only someone like me, devoutly serving before the gods, is qualified to receive such power. No matter how strong you are, you cannot have such qualification!

Also, if you truly kill me, you'd be committing blasphemy, a grave sin that will provoke the wrath of the gods, who would personally punish you. Even with your great strength, you absolutely cannot oppose the gods!"

Bam!

Qin Heng stepped on the High Priest's back, pressing him down a few inches, and said calmly, "I'm not interested in endless chatter. I've seen this so-called divine power before; it's nothing more than the supposed Underworld Force produced by purifying Nether Qi and combining it with one's strength. I'm just asking, who did you get this power from?"

Because purifying Nether Qi requires a special secret technique, and in his past life, Qin Heng had seen this technique only in a sect located on the edge of the universe known as the "Nine Extremes Underworld Sect," which was very ancient and had been passed down for millions of years.

The current sect master is an Earth Immortal in union with the Way, proficient in using the Underworld Force to an awe-inspiring level, even developing numerous shocking Divine Skills. Even a True Immortal might have to retreat before him.

Thus, the Underworld Force is an extremely unique power. Even later, when Qin Heng reached Dao Verification and was omnipresent across all time and space in the multiverse, knowing nearly everything about the mysteries of the universe, to his knowledge, only that sect could wield the Underworld Force.

No others.

Now, in a parallel world he hadn't encountered in his past life, Qin Heng unexpectedly discovered traces of the Underworld Force. This was similar to the Realm of Firmament Myriad Gods, appearing familiar yet not identical to what he had seen in the past, indicating a connection of some sort.

This connection might be the key to unraveling the mysteries of this parallel world and possibly taking a further step in comprehending the Supreme Law.

Qin Heng could not let this opportunity slip by.

"Ah!" the High Priest screamed, spitting blood, as Qin Heng's step had not been light, making him feel like his internal organs were about to burst. With unfathomable resentment, he looked at Qin Heng, "How dare you! So you really want to pry into divine power? Fine, since you wish to die, I'll tell you. This is the power of the God of Death, the power of Loki's daughter, the Goddess of Death, Hera!

Hahaha! Tremble, be afraid! Are you scared now, do you regret it? Hahaha! This is the power of the God of Death, the true Goddess of Death, not the impostors currently in Asgard but the real Hera Goddess. Yet now, the gods are about to truly return, and you'll soon taste the price of blaspheming them!"

Hera?

Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He had some impressions of this name; she was a famous goddess in Norse mythology.

She was the queen of the underworld in Norse mythology, the Goddess of Death. She governed aging and disease, being the youngest child of the trickster god Loki and the giantess Angerboda, sister to the giant wolf Fenrir and Jormungandr the Giant Serpent, possessing limitless divine power capable of unleashing diseases that even gods feared. After gods die, everything falls under her control.

A "god" like her using the Underworld Force, her exhibited power truly matched the nature of the Underworld Force. Could it be that this Norse mythical goddess has a connection to the Nine Extremes Underworld Sect?

Or is it similar to the Moonlight Sect, the same entity in different worlds?

It must be thoroughly investigated.

"You just mentioned that the gods of Asgard are about to truly return?" Qin Heng gestured toward the dense freezing mist in the distance, also known as the Forbidden Zone of Life, and said, "Their pathway to return must be by possessing the bodies of these so-called Asa Divine Clan descendants, right? Or maybe, they themselves are the true Asa Divine Clan, only their powers haven't fully recovered for some reason?"

"Nonsense!!" The High Priest immediately erupted with rage upon hearing this, shouting, "Gods are immortal, their power cannot diminish. Even after returning from the Twilight of the Gods, they would still be the most powerful, and there is no need for recovery!!"

"Whether it's true or not will soon be known!!" Qin Heng seized the High Priest by the throat, lifting him up, while wrapping his other arm around Gu Xuanxuan, saying, "Just in time, I need spectators to witness the annihilation of the Asa Divine Clan!"
