This Chen Qing... has he sensed something?

King of Qin, faced with pressing questions, maintained an emotionless face, but a hint of chilliness lurked in the depths of his eyes!

Indeed, he had a reason for wanting to obtain Chen Qing’s body, but it was a reason that no one else could reveal, not even when he was tortured daily by the upper echelons of the Ancient Demon with all sorts of experiments, wishing for suicide every day and praying to be swiftly killed by those people.

He had never divulged this crucial secret!

Because at that time, he knew that the secret.

.. could propel him to an immensely high status, above all current powers in the world, so even if he were tortured to death, he wouldn’t speak.

It wasn’t that he believed he could seize this opportunity, but that he would rather die than reveal this secret to those nobility Elders who tortured him.

And now... he had completely transformed and had the capital to obtain what he desired through that core secret, and naturally, he would not give up easily.

"Elder..."

No longer trying to dodge, King of Qin raised his head again, his eyes full of murderous intent when looking at the ashen face: "If you continue your deceit, I might have to stand against you, Elder."

"Oh?" An even more sinister smile appeared on the ashen face, the voice horribly grating: "Indeed, indeed, you boy... and that boy who looks just like you, both have big secrets!"

"So what if we do?" King of Qin retorted coldly: "I would still advise Elder not to be too greedy. If you want everything, you might end up with nothing."

"That boy over there!" The ashen face suddenly spoke: "I think what you said makes sense. This person is dangerous, a greater threat than you. Shall we form an alliance? Help me obtain the Ancestor Blood Body, and I will let you and the young lady leave."

"Elder, this alliance doesn’t seem very fair." Chen Qing shook his head directly: "How precious the Ancestor Blood Body is, assisting Elder, I would be risking my life, yet all I get in return is to leave safely. Why wouldn’t I simply cooperate with him?"

"He wants to kill you..."

"Elder, don’t you want that as well?" Chen Qing said with a smile.

"I don’t!" The ashen face shook its head: "I let you go because I’m confident I can find you again in the future. It’s different with him, today he’s determined to have you."

"That’s not true..." Chen Qing shook his head, contradicting the other: "If he succeeds in obtaining the Ancestor Blood Body, he could spare me today, because... with that, he would be confident in dealing with me in the future."

"Hahaha...." King of Qin burst into laughter: "Truly a difficult person to deal with, worthy of being Number One..."

Number One...

Chen Qing’s pupils constricted; this term... it wasn’t the first time he’d heard it. This fellow must know something.

What exactly is my existence...

"What do you propose?" the ashen face asked in a ghostly tone.

"Your negative contract with Ziyue shall become void!"

"You sure have a big appetite!" The ashen face said coldly: "She can employ my Techniques, and without the negative effects, it would be like she took my Techniques for free!"

"Trade is all about exchange, if Elder finds it unworthy, then we simply won’t form an alliance..." Chen Qing showed no signs of backing down.

The ashen face looked at Chen Qing with a chilly gaze, yet without any hint of hesitation, swiftly coming to a conclusion: "Fine, from the start of our cooperation, we can’t harm each other, you must help me take down the Blood Ancestor, and after obtaining the Ancestor Blood Body, I will let you leave this place safely! "

"The negative contract on Ziyue will become void once the cooperation starts."

"Good..." The ashen face nodded in agreement.

The contract was formed almost instantaneously; Chen Qing looked over it, the name of the contract: Four Calamities!

This fellow was actually sincere. Among the four major Demon Statues—Big Dipper, Earth Fiend, Four Calamities, and White Drawing—the Blood Ancestor was the Earth Fiend, and this pale-faced giant in front of him was the grand Demon Statue that mastered the Forbidden Technique of the Four Calamities!

Far away, the King of Qin had an ugly expression on his face, but deep in his eyes was a hint of coldness.

The instant the Four Calamities reached an agreement on the Technique with Chen Qing, a huge Array suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

The entire surroundings fell into a state where space and time were paused, all the chaotic elements came to a halt, and even the pale face was momentarily unable to move within this space.

Its eerily large face suddenly became as stiff as if it were frozen, the huge eyeballs unable to move, staring dead at Chen Qing!

Time Stop!

Among the space and time Techniques, this was the most direct and frightening move, within a designated space, time is paused, and except for the spell caster, anyone else would be fixed in place by the time and space Technique.

It was known as the Four Calamities because it controlled the four fundamental Laws: time, space, matter, and spirit.

These are the fundamentals upon which the universe is formed, and the closer to the source the Technique, the more likely it would trigger a backlash from heaven and earth, and it.

.. it mostly bestowed instead of using on itself, transferring power to others, letting them bear the side effects, and in the end, it swallowed the fruits of their labors. This was its way of survival.

The Forbidden Technique of the Four Calamities was different in every place because each world was unique. The power of the Forbidden Technique it obtained in other worlds was limited in scope within this world.

Therefore, it needed to lure, seduce slowly, to allow a being native to a world to master the Forbidden Technique, becoming stronger and stronger in this space and time, while enduring the backlash of heaven and earth, also nurturing the results of the Forbidden Technique.

In this world, it only had two seeds of the Forbidden Technique, one of which was the little girl called Ziyue, and the other was the Ancient Demon called Qi Gu...

Both individuals were very talented, but to use Time Stop in this place was supposed to be impossible...

The pale face stared dead at Chen Qing, he always felt that all of this was related to him!

"The disadvantages of the Time Stop Technique are numerous.

.." Chen Qing did not shy away from the other’s fearsome gaze, a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "For example, the chanting before casting is too long, it requires a lot from the space, the scope is very limited, and it is easy to be detected... In short, it sounds very powerful, but in actual fact, it’s quite a useless Technique. "

"But even a useless Technique, if applied properly, can also be a Divine Art, like how you have been standing there, deliberately using your own imposing pressure on us, inching closer step by step, the movement is too obvious, anyone could guess that you would definitely come close to us in the end. "

"Even so, I should have been able to notice the fluctuation at the start of the casting!" The Four Calamities argued unwillingly.

"Well... that requires a bit of skill." Chen Qing smiled and said: "There indeed is a fluctuation when Time Stop is activated, and for experts, especially someone like you who is aware of this Technique’s existence, it is very easy to avoid this range, so we needed to constantly shift your attention, keep you constantly thinking, then you wouldn’t notice the smaller fluctuations around you. And why didn’t you detect it when it was activated?

Haven’t you figured it out yet, senior?"

"Technique contract?" The Four Calamities immediately realized.

Yes, there would indeed be a noticeable fluctuation when Time Stop was initiated, but that fluctuation occurred only in an instant.

At that time, while executing the Technique contract, all its focus was put on two things: one was to be wary of that Ancient Demon boy suddenly making a move, after all, the guy who made the Blood Ancestor meet his downfall was taken down by that boy due to a moment of carelessness.

The second was focused on the Technique contract itself; it had to clearly see every detail of the contract, to avoid being calculated by Chen Qing.

Even for itself, being wary of the Ancient Demon boy and establishing a contract at the same time was enough to attract all its attention, it never expected that Chen Qing would make a move on it at this time.

"You are also executing a contract and being wary of that guy, you still have the capacity to use such a Time Stop Technique?" The Four Calamities glanced at Ziyue, who was at her last gasp; it did not believe that Ziyue had the ability to use this Technique.

Although the Technique was weak, due to its overly powerful effect, it consumed an enormous amount of Spiritual Power. In Ziyue’s current state, it was impossible to cast it.

And Chen Qing, while contracting with itself and guarding against the Ancient Demon child... wait!

The Four Calamities suddenly realized, it could not turn its head to look at the one behind it at the moment, but it immediately sensed that guy’s malice...

"You two... are in cahoots?"
