374: Not the master?

To have such a concept further elevated Chen De's perception of the Master's strength mentioned in the information.

Not only that, Chen De also thought of something.

If the Master mentioned by the other party was of the same realm as the Master Chen De encountered before, then it would be a terrifying thought.

This proves that the Master Realm is not an exclusive system of that world.

Instead, it is very likely a universal system circulating among multiple worlds and multiple powerful individuals.

That is to say, they must have a circle, a circle far beyond the ninth level of the Demon Emperor Realm.

If that were the case, Chen De couldn't imagine how terrifying this group would be.

Immediately, he thought of the experimental site on the Heavenly Dome Continent; only forces capable of such a grand feat.

In Chen De's knowledge, perhaps only the Shenwu Empire and the mysterious Earth Immortal Realm could achieve it.

But if there really was that circle he just speculated about, judging by his feelings when he directly faced a Master, it was indeed possible to achieve.

But so what?

He had already done it; he just couldn't bear to see human suffering.

Suddenly, Chen De seemed to sense something and moved a great distance forward.

At this moment, a violent fluctuation came from the entrance, completely different from what was transmitted to Chen De just now.

A ball of light flew directly out from inside, shooting in a certain direction.

Chen De, quick-eyed and quick-handed, as if prepared, reacted swiftly, caught it, and swallowed it.

He turned his head to look at the entrance again, as if something else was about to rush out.

Bang!

It was the black liquid Chen De had sent in; it seemed to be trying to come out.

Unfortunately, it only poked its head out before being instantly annihilated into nothingness by a cold light that caught up from behind.

After destroying that part of the black liquid, the cold light did not return but turned around.

With a world-destroying might, it gradually approached Chen De.

But now, Chen De had completed the transformation from the eighth level of the Demon Emperor Realm to the ninth level of the Demon Emperor Realm.

Moreover, the might of this cold light did not seem as strong as the Master Chen De had encountered.

So, he made a slight move and easily swatted the cold light away.

The power of the cold light was enough to severely injure an ordinary ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm cultivator, but Chen De was not an ordinary ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm cultivator.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the entrance; he raised his hand and recalled the cold light.

In his hand, the form of the cold light appeared; it turned out to be a long spear.

Chen De looked at him, and he also looked at Chen De, "Which realm's Master are you, sir? Why do you act against my subordinate world?"

Master?

Why does he think I'm a Master?

Could it be that Masters don't have any obvious characteristics?

Also, that strike just now—if it were truly the Master Chen De had encountered, he wouldn't have been able to block it.

But sensing the extremely dangerous mark on the system map, since that's the case... Chen De said with disdain, "Then I apologize, I thought it was an ownerless minor world."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!" With that, Chen De turned and departed.

"Hold on, you destroyed my subordinate world and think you can just leave like that?"

"You're being too disrespectful to me, Qiongguang, aren't you?"

With that, the figure standing at the entrance stepped out and gradually approached Chen De.

Chen De had already anticipated that the other party would attack, and this move was just perfectly blocked.

As soon as they exchanged blows, Chen De felt that the opponent's strength was not as powerful as he had imagined.

But the system map wouldn't lie; if it said there was serious danger to Chen De, it meant there would definitely be danger.

He dared not be careless about this point.

However, what puzzled Chen De was that the Qiongguang Master, who had just been incredibly powerful, now showed a significant drop in his danger level on the system map.

The displayed icon now indicated that they were evenly matched.

In fact, if one were to calculate it, the current Chen De was even stronger than Qiongguang.

Chen De didn't understand why such a change had occurred, but he knew his opportunity had come.

He immediately gained confidence and took the initiative to attack and confront Qiongguang head-on.

Another bang!

Chen De didn't move, but Qiongguang did.

This time, Chen De clearly had the upper hand, sending Qiongguang flying backward with a single blow.

He glanced at his smoking fist, thinking, 'Where did this incompetent fool come from?'

And he dares to call himself a Master?

The one he encountered could instantly kill Chen De with a casual move.

Next, Chen De entered the mode of beating a dog while it's down.

The two began to fight fiercely, Chen De with a saber, Qiongguang with a spear, fighting like a turn-based game.

During one exchange, Qiongguang was pushed closer to the world's entrance.

Chen De continued to attack him, unaware that this action made Qiongguang realize something.

The next moment, he flew!

Chen De was forcefully knocked flying, his body even mangled.

But fortunately, as long as he wasn't completely obliterated, it was equivalent to not being injured at all.

But Chen De felt very strange, extremely strange.

How did he suddenly become so fierce?

Just a moment ago, he was being suppressed and beaten by him.

"You are not a Master!"

Qiongguang's voice interrupted Chen De's thoughts, his tone extremely certain.

Chen De shook his head and said seriously, "No, I am a Master?"

"Liar, you're lying!" Hearing this, Qiongguang sneered.

Hearing the word 'lie' seemed to touch Chen De's reverse scale.

He stated with a serious expression, "I, Li Cheng, am a man of my word; what I value most are the words honesty and trustworthiness."

"Since my debut, I have never done anything dishonest."

"You are insulting me!"

Chen De's eyes almost spat fire, as if he was about to rush forward and fight to the death at any moment, to clear his name regarding his honesty.

Qiongguang didn't care at all; he had lived for millions of years and had seen all sorts of strange beings.

He slowly said, "Although you are not a Master, for an ordinary ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm cultivator who has just broken through, to possess such strong power, achieving Masterhood is probably just around the corner!

I intend to befriend you and teach you the method to achieve Masterhood."

"I destroyed your subordinate world, and you don't resent me?" Chen De looked directly at Qiongguang.

Qiongguang, however, smiled freely, "A mere subordinate world is nothing compared to a brother in the Master Realm."

Then he said with regret, "Unfortunately, it seems you, sir, do not wish to befriend me."

Hearing this, Chen De's expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously, "No, no, no, I am not a Master, I am not a Master!"

"No, you are!" Qiongguang affirmed.

Hearing this, Chen De's expression grew even more anxious, "No, I'm not. You truly have discerning eyes; you saw at a glance the fact that I am not a Master."

"In front of you, I am but a clown, jumping around repeatedly."

"Qiong... Big Brother, Big Brother, please accept my bow!"

Chen De immediately clasped his fists and bowed, then performed a grand salute of brotherhood towards Qiongguang.

Seeing Chen De like this, Qiongguang nodded with satisfaction, "Since that's the case, then come with me into the realm."

"Alright, Big Brother!" Chen De quickly responded...
