Absolute Crushing!

Lu Chen's expression remained blank as he said nothing. His tall, slender figure stepped out from within the divine hall, his handsome face carrying a trace of chill. His robes and hair fluttered as he appeared before everyone step by step.

In an instant.

Every towering figure here wore a cruel expression, their gazes icy as they looked toward Lu Chen.

"Finally came out!"

The blue-robed figure from before sneered. "I don't know how you slipped in, but since you dared to show yourself on Divine Mountain, native, will you kneel on your own, or do I have to make a move myself?"

"Everyone's here?"

Lu Chen's voice was clear, neither pleased nor sorrowful, as he swept his gaze over the crowd.

"Insolence!"

"Kneel!"

"A lowbred bastard still dares to speak!"

The many Descenders bellowed one after another.

Powerful auras erupted from them, rumbling as they shook heaven and earth.

"This little dog is no ordinary one. He killed so many of us and still dared to be so confident. If none of you mind, let me destroy him!"

The blue-robed figure continued sneering as he stepped forward.

His eyes brimmed with mockery as he looked at Lu Chen before him.

"Little dog, with your strength, you will never know how vast the gap between us is. This is the difference in vision and status. In this life, all you can do is look up at us!"

The blue-robed figure's gaze was disdainful as he casually waved a hand.

Boom!

A colossal force descended from the sky, like an invisible mountain crushing down upon Lu Chen, intending to force him to his knees.

Lu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he merely swept his eyes over the other man.

Whoosh!

In an instant, countless Sword Qi appeared.

The blue-robed figure's hairs stood on end. Terror appeared on his face as an ominous feeling surged within him.

"Not good!"

Bang!

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out. No one had even seen how Lu Chen attacked before the blue-robed figure exploded on the spot, turning into dense black mist.

The black mist immediately gathered toward the center, attempting to reform his body.

But Lu Chen casually beckoned.

All the black mist flew over at once, surging into Lu Chen's palm and being seized within his hand, firmly imprisoned in his palm.

The black mist struggled wildly throughout Lu Chen's palm, terrified beyond measure, unable to believe any of this.

"No, how can this be? Let me go, let me go now..."

The blue-robed figure begged in terror, "Lu Chen, do you know who I am? Do you know what you are doing?"

"What am I doing?"

Lu Chen's eyes were cold as he looked at the figure in his palm. "You were calling me little dog so merrily just now, yet now you want me to spare you? Don't I have any pride?"

He coldly swept his gaze over the others. "And you too. Weren't you shouting quite happily just now? Native? Lowbred bastard? Today, not one of you will escape!"

Everyone else's expressions changed.

They had never expected Lu Chen to possess such strength.

How was that possible?

"Native, stop! Do you know what status Lan Tianyi has?"

"Your crime deserves ten thousand deaths! You truly deserve ten thousand deaths!"

"Lan Tianyi is from the Ancient War Clan! You dare offend the War Clan? Do you want every single one of your relatives to be slaughtered?"

The Descenders all roared furiously.

Their hearts burned with rage, utterly unable to accept this.

One towering figure with a burly body stared coldly at Lu Chen. A tremendous pressure radiated from his body. He stood at the peak of the Divine Spirit Fourth Level, fierce and vicious, as he said, "Good, good, good, Lu Chen. You have truly shocked us all. You hid yourself deeply indeed. Tell us, which ancient figure are you reincarnated from? What faction do you come from?"

The other experts' pupils constricted as they looked toward Lu Chen.

That was right!

This Lu Chen definitely was not a native!

This world had its Heaven and Earth Connection Severed. It was utterly incapable of giving birth to Divine Spirits!

He must have been some ancient monster of unimaginable age.

For some unknown reason, he had fallen into this realm and had barely clung to life until now.

"Who are you?"

"State your name!"

"We know every great power throughout the heavens and myriad realms. Who exactly are you?"

The crowd shouted harshly.

"Who am I?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Chen's face. He looked over the crowd and said mockingly, "Must I necessarily come from beyond this realm? I am Lu Chen!"

"Still spouting nonsense at death's door!"

The burly towering figure from just now spoke again in an icy voice. "There is still time for you to reveal your origins. Otherwise, there is only a dead end awaiting you. Once the time comes, even if you wish to regret it, it will be impossible. You probably still do not know who Lan Tianyi is. He is from the Ancient War Clan, the son of an elder with immense influence within the clan. Capturing him means offending the Ancient War Clan. No matter what your background is, you will find it difficult to escape. Everyone connected to you will die horribly as well. Do you wish to watch your entire family be exterminated?"

"Release Lan Tianyi!"

The other towering figures shouted coldly.

"Exterminate my entire family?"

Lu Chen gave a cold laugh. "How laughable. Since I first made my name, I don't know how many people have tried to threaten me with my family. Unfortunately, that trick does not work. You say he comes from the Ancient War Clan? Then he can die!"

Boom!

His hand suddenly clenched, and countless Sword Qi burst forth in his palm.

Lan Tianyi, trapped within his palm, immediately had his body twisted out of shape. He let out a miserable scream, feeling as though his entire soul was melting away. It was soul-stirring and incomparably tragic.

"I'm going to die!"

Splat!

His soul completely shattered. He was dead beyond all doubt.

...Merit Points +!

"What?"

The Descenders' eyes widened, their hearts filled with shock and fury.

This Lu Chen had truly killed Lan Tianyi!

He had killed the descendant of the Ancient War Clan!

He acted without the slightest taboo!

"Kill him! Avenge Lan Tianyi!"

The towering figure from before roared, the fury in his heart enough to burn the heavens.

"Everyone, attack together!"

"No matter who you are, no matter what faction you come from, you must pay the price!"

"Murderers die!"

Boom!

The many Descenders gathered here went mad, charging forward without regard for anything.

They had no idea what they were facing.

In their minds, no matter how strong Lu Chen was, he was still only a Divine Spirit.

With so many of them, there was nothing to fear.

Heavenly Annihilation!

The burly towering figure from before let out a tremendous roar and was almost the first to charge in. Endless divine light burst from his palm. Heaven and earth collapsed, explosions erupting everywhere.

The surrounding void resembled an erupting volcano.

Runes and restrictions appeared one after another. The moment he attacked, he unleashed an ultimate killing technique.

Lu Chen's eyes turned cold. He did not evade in the slightest. The Golden Divine Sword left its sheath almost instantly, Sword Qi soaring into the heavens around him. The universe trembled, sun and moon lost their light, as though an unparalleled heavenly sword had cleaved open heaven and earth.

Clang!

He opened with the Sword Draw Slay Heavens Art.

Brilliant, dazzling Golden Sword Qi collided directly with the towering figure's ultimate killing technique. Intense light swept through the area, forcing many weaker Descenders to retreat while covering their eyes.

They could not withstand such fierce Sword Qi at all.

They felt as though countless golden needles had pierced into their eyeballs.

Splat!

Victory and defeat were decided in a single exchange.

That Divine Spirit Fourth Level expert was actually cut in half at the waist on the spot. Not only were all his killing techniques broken, but his entire body was severed into two pieces. Great patches of soul light began to disperse. Terror filled his face as his body flew violently backward, smashing down thousands of meters away.

How could this be?

"Kill him quickly!"

The remaining experts continued roaring.

Countless dazzling lights, like a dense rainstorm, blasted toward Lu Chen in unison.

Even the survivors from before could now see the brilliant killing techniques with perfect clarity.

Terror appeared on their faces, and their hearts trembled.

"It's over!"

Their own sects and friends had clashed with Lu Chen!

That Lu Chen was in the late stage Divine Spirit!

They were all finished now!

No killing technique, no sea-of-people tactic, was of any use against a late stage Divine Spirit!

"Run! Don't fight, don't fight!"

"Dear family, run for your lives!"

"Go!"

The survivors screamed hysterically, hopping around anxiously where they stood.

But atop Divine Mountain, the laws seemed distorted, and their voices could not carry very far at all.

Moreover, Chu Yunxiao and the others clung to them like maggots on a corpse, pursuing and killing them across a thousand miles.

Very soon, they no longer had time to scream. They could only resume resisting Chu Yunxiao and the others' attacks.

Clang!

Facing the countless rays of light crashing toward him, Lu Chen did not hesitate. The Golden Soft Sword snapped straight, releasing a sharp, ringing cry.

Sky Imprisonment!

Boom!

It was like a whale swallowing an ox in one gulp.

A strange dark vortex instantly appeared, devouring every attack launched by the crowd and absorbing them all into that eerie dark vortex.

The countless killing techniques and attacks continued surging within the dark vortex, rumbling like boiling water as they sought to tear the vortex apart.

Some killing techniques had even already punched tiny cracks through the dark vortex.

Fortunately, Lu Chen's swordsmanship was strong enough to repair them in time.

"Take them back!"

He swung the Golden Soft Sword and casually slashed toward the crowd.

Boom!

The terrifying dark vortex, carrying countless killing techniques, immediately surged savagely toward the crowd. Dense killing techniques descended upon them like falling meteors, drowning them beneath their onslaught.

"Dodge!"

Puff puff puff puff puff!

"Ah!"

Miserable screams rang out one after another.

Many Descenders who were too slow to flee exploded one after another, their souls scattered and destroyed as they died completely.

...Merit Points +

...+

...+

Lines of text rapidly appeared.

"Sky Burial Bow, Divine Extinction Arrow, kill!"

Suddenly, a powerful Descender pulled out a pitch-black greatbow and shouted sharply. Its thick bowstring required three people pulling together before it could barely be drawn. Another person nocked a crimson arrow onto the string.

The entire arrow now emitted surging, billowing Killing Intent.

It was like a terrifying demon god awakening.

Almost the instant Lu Chen had just swung that sword, the bowstring in their hands was released.

Whoosh!

The crimson arrow vanished instantly. Like a ghost, it pierced through the void and pursued Lu Chen's soul directly.

Lu Chen's hairs suddenly stood on end as an immense sense of danger arose. At the critical moment, his body swiftly dodged aside.

Yet even so, that dense sense of danger continued rushing toward him.

His eyes narrowed. Martial Intent Heavenly Principles activated, instantly locking onto the strange arrow. The Golden Soft Sword in his hand immediately flicked out at an eerie, terrifying speed.

Clang!

Boom!

The sound exploded, and the void collapsed.

In an instant, the Golden Soft Sword in Lu Chen's hand was violently bent.

At the same time, countless destructive soul attacks burst from the arrow, surged along the Golden Soft Sword into Lu Chen's mind, and conjured innumerable horrifying visions in his brain—waves roiling, sun and moon devoid of light.

Clearly, this was a soul attack.

Exceptionally tyrannical!

Destroying everything!

But Lu Chen's gaze turned cold. As if nothing had happened, Tenfold Combat Power erupted. The Golden Soft Sword, which had just been bent, snapped straight again in an instant. A powerful adhesive force arose from it, sticking to the scarlet killing arrow, and he violently flung it at the Descenders.

The expressions of several Descenders changed drastically, and they hurriedly dodged.

Boom!

The terrifying killing arrow slammed into the spot where they had been standing, instantly making the ground tremble and heaven and earth collapse. Endless destructive aura swept wildly in every direction.

Lu Chen's figure flashed past, so fast it blurred.

Golden Sword Qi shot straight toward those people, piercing through them at high speed.

"Not good!"

"Draw the bow again!"

The few men turned pale with terror and hurriedly drew the Sky Burial Bow and Divine Extinction Arrow once more.

With a boom, another terrifying streak of arrow-light shot out fiercely.

Only, just as before—

The thick scarlet arrow-light had barely arrived when Lu Chen's golden soft sword knocked it flying on the spot. Dazzling, eye-piercing Sword Qi shot directly toward the source of their souls.

"No!"

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Several powerful Descenders had their soul origins pierced at the same time. Their minds turned muddled, their consciousness dispersed, and their enormous bodies instantly collapsed.

The Sky Burial Bow and Divine Extinction Arrow, which they had drawn together, were also jolted into the sky. Lu Chen reached out with one hand and seized them directly.

"Dead? The Four Fiends of the Constellations are dead too? Their Sky Burial Bow and Divine Extinction Arrow have also fallen into Lu Chen's hands? How is that possible?"

"What kind of Baleful Intent is this? Even the Sky Burial Bow and Divine Extinction Arrow cannot affect him. How could such an existence be born in this fallen world?"

"Go, hurry and go! We're no match for him!"

Many Descenders had already revealed looks of panic, utterly shaken.

Lu Chen was far too monstrous.

Their combined strike just now had been dissolved by him on the spot. He had even used their attacks against them and hurled them back.

And now, he had ignored a soul attack and killed the Four Fiends of the Constellations on the spot!

The Four Fiends of the Constellations were infamous vicious figures even on the Outer Realm Battlefield!

Their Sky Burial Bow and Divine Extinction Arrow had once slain an unknown number of gods.

No one could have imagined that they would actually fall here.

Just who was this Lu Chen?

He had to be some superpower!

Perhaps an ancient monster who had hidden himself away from the world!
