Strictly speaking, Shen Qian had never fought against a powerhouse of this level before.
Back in the Nine Heavens Battlefield, the last person he faced was Fang Fan, who was suspected to be the 56th incarnation. Fang Fan's own realm was only the seventh level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but his combat power far exceeded that of ordinary late-stage Mountain and Sea Realm experts due to the accumulation of various methods.
That time, he was forced to use all his trump cards before sinking, and finally relied on the ultimate secret of the Ten Apertures Body to kill his opponent.
Now, Shen Qian has truly stepped into the realm of mountains and seas, and his physical body, Yuan power, and spiritual power have all reached the forbidden domain, making him far stronger than before.
But correspondingly, the opponents he faced were also incredibly formidable.
At this moment, any one of the eight people surrounding Shen Qian exerts pressure on him that is no less than that of Fang Fan when he swallowed the Nine-Turn God-Making Pill.
With all eight of them together, even Shen Qian felt a long-lost sense of the threat of death.
At this moment, Shen Qian roughly understood why the other martial artists had temporarily given up on surrounding and killing him.
Only these eight people can deter the vast majority of martial artists.
"You really think highly of me."
Shen Qian remained expressionless, only offering a faint smile. "The fact that all ten of the Divine Pillars have gathered here truly flatters me."
Among the top ten geniuses ranked in the Divine Pillars, only Nukan and Jiwen are not here. Jiwen is human, while Nukan has always been a loner, so Shen Qian's statement that "the top ten of the Divine Pillars are all gathered" is not wrong.
The eight people gave up the opportunity to climb quickly upwards, but instead gathered at the Fourth Heavenly Gate to besiege Shen Qian, which was indeed beyond Shen Qian's expectations.
He originally thought that he might have to wait until after the sixth heaven to come into contact with the top ten figures of the Divine Pillar.
Even more unexpectedly, all eight of them appeared together.
Who do you think you are?!
Ulan of the Ganwu tribe made no attempt to hide the disgust in his tone, "If it weren't for the wrath of the Witch God, the order of this Nine Heavens Battlefield would have already collapsed because of you. You are not worth our personal attention!"
“I’m not like Ulan,” Seven Lives of the Earth Witch Clan chuckled. “I was just curious about you, but seeing you now, I’m actually a little disappointed!”
"It's far inferior to Nukan."
Oulin Danmo of the Celestial Clan said indifferently.
Shen Qian keenly noticed that when Nukan was mentioned, an unnatural look flashed across everyone's face.
It seems that the psychological trauma that man inflicted on them was even greater than the rumors suggested.
"The wrath of the sorcerer god?"
Shen Qian scoffed, "I thought the rules of this battlefield of ten thousand races encouraged fighting. So it turns out the will of the gods can replace everything?"
Ulan was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "The battlefield of all races does not prohibit killing, but everything in the world has its rules. You should not act recklessly, and you should not anger the gods."
"Since you have made yourself an outcast, you should be prepared to face judgment."
“You don’t need to feel any injustice. The path that Nukan walked was ten thousand times longer than yours, but he still gained the approval of the gods in the end!”
Ulan said something meaningful at the end.
"So, are you going to come up one by one, or all at once?"
Shen Qian was too lazy to waste any more words, and a hint of hidden killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.
With his current level of cultivation, facing eight mountains and nine heavens might be a bit of a stretch, but with the system, anything is possible.
Most importantly, these eight people belong to different races, some of them are cunning and unpredictable, and not everyone is good at direct combat.
If facing eight opponents alone is unavoidable, Shen Qian would rather face these eight people than eight human warriors from the Nine Heavens of Mountains and Seas.
That would truly be a situation where there is no chance of survival!
"Attack together?"
Ulan seemed somewhat taken aback, and the other seven also found it rather absurd. Then Ulan shook his head, "You overestimate yourself. We're gathered here just to make sure you don't do something as ridiculous as running away."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qian frowned.
"The battlefield order has collapsed because of you, and the will of the gods is roaring. We cannot remain silent. If you can withstand one of our attacks, we will no longer interfere."
The only girl present, Ayishamu of the Gu clan, said indifferently, "Although this is no different from killing you directly."
Shen Qian's gaze gradually turned cold. As he was calculating whether the system could withstand the eight people, a glance out of the corner of his eye revealed that Shen Qian's figure suddenly froze.
Where is Wu Ling?
Shen Qian's gaze lingered on Ayishamu's exposed waist, where a yin-yang jade talisman, faintly emitting light, hung—the very one that should have been in Wu Ling's hand.
“Your companion is not in any danger, but I cannot guarantee your safety if you try to escape.”
Aysham pointed behind her, to a hilltop a hundred feet away, where a girl bound by a seven-colored rope was lying diagonally.
She couldn't speak, but her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry as she looked at Shen Qian, shaking her head frantically as if she wanted Shen Qian to run away quickly.
Seeing that Wu Ling was still alive, Shen Qian quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He ignored the girl's crazy hints and turned his gaze back to what was in front of him.
But Shen Qian's brows furrowed. He could act recklessly, but he could not ignore Wu Ling's life.
He felt a pang of self-reproach and regret before sinking in. Although he had survived several close calls in the ancient times, he had become somewhat complacent.
Knowing this was a trap, he should have been more cautious, otherwise he would have put himself in a completely passive position.
"Gentlemen, we have already wasted enough time."
Qi Ming suddenly pointed a finger and said, "Since you want to be modest, I will accept this life before sinking without any politeness."
The bounty offered by the gods was so generous that even those ranked among the top ten of the divine pillars could not remain indifferent.
