All Under Heaven Rests on Me Alone!

"What is that?"

Just as the deputy commander of the city defense army, who came from the Righteous Qi Sect, was arguing with his captain, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a colorful auspicious cloud had appeared in the distant sky!

The auspicious cloud, shaped like a dragon and a tiger, created white ring-shaped sonic booms in the air along its path as soon as it appeared!

Immediately afterward, the auspicious cloud arrived above the heads of these city defense soldiers in an instant, and then disappeared without a sound!

No, it wasn't that there was no sound. It was that the auspicious cloud was flying at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

The next second after the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud arrived, a sonic boom as violent as thunder and as powerful as a tsunami followed, as if the god of thunder had descended upon the world!

"Someone's there!"

Among the Qingdong City Defense Army, a captain with exceptional eyesight spotted at a glance a tall, elegant figure standing atop the auspicious cloud!

The figure was bathed in a brilliant golden light, obscuring its face, yet it exuded a sacred and otherworldly aura that commanded awe and respect.

The figure was none other than Zhou Chen!

"Supersonic speed! Martial Grandmaster level!"

The deputy commander swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

Those who can cruise at supersonic speeds are at least super strong individuals at the Martial Grandmaster level!

Moreover, even Martial Grandmaster could not sustain supersonic flight for an extended period. Neither their vital energy, spirit, nor their physical body could withstand such a massive energy expenditure.

This is why Zhou Chen was confident in catching up with and killing Li Su.

Because Li Su's supersonic cruise cannot be sustained, while Zhou Chen's internal Wu Earth Apricot Yellow Qi is constantly generated and can last for a particularly long time due to his cultivation of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic.

In other words, Zhou Chen could keep chasing at supersonic speed, but Li Su could not keep retreating at supersonic speed. The distance between the two was being rapidly closed!

"Have you seen a Martial Grandmaster pass by here?"

Above the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud, Zhou Chen looked down at the soldiers of the city defense army and said calmly.

His voice carried an undeniable authority, leaving no room for silence or concealment.

The deputy commander of the city's defense forces raised his head, gazing up at the towering figure. He took a deep breath, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and tried to remain calm as he asked, "The Martial Grandmaster you inquired about... is it Li Su?"

Where is Li Su?

Zhou Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his tone revealed a chilling killing intent!

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander's heart tightened, and he immediately said in a deep voice, "Yes... Li Su just passed through Qingdong City not long ago. If you pursue him quickly, you can still catch up!"

"Boom!!"

Before the deputy commander-in-chief could finish speaking, a tremendous roar resounded, shattering the clouds!

Meanwhile, the figure riding on auspicious clouds, shrouded in golden light, was already racing after Li Su at supersonic speed!

"No wonder that old bastard Wen Fengxiang wanted to stall Li Su... So that's why!"

The deputy commander of the city's defense forces revealed a knowing look in his eyes and muttered to himself.

The super strong person who just rode the five-colored auspicious cloud completely overwhelmed Li Su in terms of aura, pressure, and prestige!

Being hunted by such a powerful figure, Li Su probably... has no chance of escaping!

Meanwhile, Li Su had already arrived at the seaside.

The coastline of Qing Province is not a sandy beach or an alluvial plain, but a continuous mountain range.

This mountain range is called Qingyun Mountain.

Legend has it that this mountain range was moved here by a powerful Martial Emperor during the mythical era to stop the massive flood that was engulfing the azure Qingyun Mountain, thus blocking the tsunami!

This mountain range is so high that even flying Great Martial Master masters would find it difficult to cross. Only super experts at the Martial Grandmaster level or above can traverse Qingyun Mountain.

Now, Li Su is standing in front of Qingyun Mountain.

Looking at the Qingyun Mountain, which stood like a giant wall in the sky, Li Su was overjoyed. As long as he crossed this mountain range Fuliu Country the sea, he would be able to enjoy the freedom of the sea and the sky!

But at that moment, a tremendous pressure suddenly swept in from the sky behind them!

The oppressive aura instantly sent chills down Li Su's spine!

Because Li Su clearly remembered that this aura... was the oppressive aura of that young Martial Venerable!

Run!

This was the only thing Li Su could think of!

As for resistance?

What a joke! Rebellion is something you only do when you're forced to. As Martial Grandmaster who has enjoyed all the riches and honors, Li Su has no desire to risk his life!

Thinking of this, Li Su's figure flashed, and his whole body burst with azure light. He quickly rose into the sky, and then stepped into the void, traversing the Qingyun Mountain!

However, the flight had already depleted most of Li Su's vital energy, and his current speed was nowhere near what it was when he evacuated from the Thunder Sword Sect's main hall.

Sure enough, the next second, Li Su stopped in mid-air, her face pale and ashen!

Because, right in front of Li Su, a Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud stretched across the sky.

Above the auspicious clouds stood a golden figure, none other than Zhou Chen!

"Does Your Excellency insist on driving us to our deaths? If Your Excellency is willing to spare my life, I am willing to offer a Grandmaster-level Martial Dao Technique, as well as a large amount of invaluable Essence Crystal."

Li Su's face was ashen, and her tone was solemn.

Hearing these words of pleading, Zhou Chen didn't even bother to speak. He simply clenched his fist, and a long sword formed from golden light appeared in his hand!

Seeing this, a look of despair flashed in Li Su's eyes, because there was no point in talking anymore, and she could only fight desperately!

"Sir, do you really think you can subdue this old man?"

Anger flashed in Li Su's eyes, and he hardened his heart even more. He drew a long sword that emitted a white-hot light from the scabbard on his back.

This longsword is the clan's sacred weapon of the Cangxuan Li Family, the Sword of Light and Victory!

This sword originally did not Li Family, but was a sacred artifact passed down through generations by the Roland Family, the grand ducal family of the Holy Assyrian Empire in the Taixi Continent.

Legend has it that this Sword of Light and Victory was a divine artifact forged by the ancient God of Light and God of Victory.

The Roland Family obtained this divine sword because they are descendants of the God of Light.

Unfortunately, during the transition from ancient times to the feudal era, all the war gods disappeared, and the war lords and war saints of various pantheons returned to the human world, causing the Holy Assyrian Empire to collapse.

The Roland Family, loyal to the Assyrian Royal Family, was thus wiped out, with only a few descendants migrating towards the Eastern Luo Continent.

Then, the descendants of the Roland Family who migrated to the Eastern Luo Continent were targeted by the Cangxuan Li Family.

The ancestors of the Li Family at that time used ruthless methods to kill these descendants of the Roland Family, and this Sword of Light and Victory fell into the hands of this old beast.

Originally, this divine sword could only be used by the descendants of the God of Light and God of Victory; ordinary humans could not use it.

However, the Cangxuan Li Family used evil magic to extract the divine veins of the Roland Family's descendants and transplant them into the genes of each generation of the Li Family head.

This is also why Li Su can use the divine sword.

"Holy Light Sword Slash!"

The Sword of Light and Victory in Li Su's hand swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a huge, incandescent blade as large as a mountain. He raised the sword and slashed fiercely!

The space along the path of the sword began to shatter!

Clearly, this Sword of Light and Victory allows even a Martial Grandmaster to unleash the combat power of a Martial Venerable!

Only those who have reached the Martial Venerable level can shatter space!

Facing the sword that shattered space, Zhou Chen held the sword in his left hand and continuously formed hand seals with his right hand, his palm bursting with a dazzling earthy yellow light.

Immediately afterwards, a palm-sized, earth-yellow crystal handprint condensed and took shape, emanating a majestic imperial aura!

The sudden appearance of imperial power made Li Su feel a sudden pang of fear.

However, as the saying goes, once the arrow is released, there is no turning back. Li Su did not stop, but instead swung his sword even faster!

"Emperor Seal Technique - Mountain Splitting Seal!"

With a deep and domineering voice, Zhou Chen suddenly pushed the earthen-yellow energy crystal handprint forward!

In an instant, the earthen-yellow energy crystal handprint swelled in the wind, its diameter rapidly expanding until it transformed into a giant mountain!

"Town!!"

A vast and powerful voice resounded, and the next second, a massive, earthen-yellow handprint, as large as a mountain, slammed directly into the enormous Sword of Light and Victory!

"Boom!!"

The seal and the sword clashed, unleashing a thunderous roar. The terrifying energy caused the entire sky above the Qingyun Mountain to light up with incandescent light!

Immediately afterwards, ripples of energy burst forth.

In an instant, a fierce wind howled over the Qingyun Mountain, the clouds collapsed, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. Residents of Qingdong City, which was not far away, ran out of their homes and looked up at this terrifying phenomenon!

"How is that possible?"

Inside Qingdong City, the deputy commander of the city's defense forces and his officers, who had just returned to the city, all stared at what was happening in shock.

Such a commotion, if it happened over Qingdong City, the aftershocks of the battle alone would probably be enough to destroy the entire city!

Is this really something that Martial Grandmaster could do?

At this moment, the energy storm above the Qingyun Mountain dissipated, and a terrifying scene was clearly displayed before countless people!

The residents of Qingdong City, the explorers and mercenaries near Qingyun Mountain, and the disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect who were observing the area with a quantum satellite all felt a chill run down their spines!

A huge gap appeared in the Qingyun Mountain, which stretched across the sky and earth. The gap seemed to have been formed by a giant hand falling from the sky and crushing it, turning it into a basin!

This attack was clearly delivered by that young Venerable One!

Such power is truly worthy of a Martial Venerable!

Li Su's figure had already disappeared.

To be precise, Li Su was directly blasted into the ground of the Qingyun Mountain by that Mountain Splitting Seal!

"Li Su, if you're not dead, get out here!"

High above, Zhou Chen looked down at the huge basin blasted out by the Mountain Splitting Seal and said coldly.

Li Su, who wields a divine sword, is not so easy to kill!

"Call out!!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, Li Su shot out from the basin, wielding the Sword of Light and Victory, his figure like lightning, rushing towards Zhou Chen!

"Break!!"

Zhou Chen let out a cold shout, and with a swift motion, the golden sword in his left hand unleashed a beam of light that shattered Li Su, leaving only a Sword of Light and Victory.

"That's quite decisive."

Zhou Chen's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, he grasped the Sword of Light and Victory.

The shattered Li Su was clearly just a clone or illusion.

In order to create a realistic clone, Li Su did not hesitate to place the Sword of Light and Victory in the phantom's hand, while the real body directly crossed the Qingyun Mountain from that gap basin.

Li Su's true form should have already entered the Eastern Sea.

Sure enough, these old foxes who have cultivated for countless years are not so easy to kill.

Gazing at the sea opposite the Qingyun Mountain, Zhou Chen rode on Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud and chased after it!

Although Li Su escaped death by using his clone, he had already exhausted a lot of his energy and was seriously injured. Even the powerful Sword of Light and Victory had fallen into Zhou Chen's hands.

Therefore, Li Su must not be able to run fast!

Soon, Zhou Chen caught up to the surface of the Eastern Sea, but he couldn't find Li Su anywhere.

Keep in mind that there are no obstructions on the sea surface, and you can see very far. Given Li Su's current physical strength and injuries, it's impossible for her to run very far.

If Li Su escaped by flying over the sea, then it's impossible for her to disappear without a trace, much less leave no trace.

In other words, Li Su should be underwater now, hiding in the seawater.

The sound of the ocean waves could mask the sound of Li Su's heartbeat.

The seawater itself can conceal Li Su's Yuan Power fluctuations.

Moreover, the Eastern Sea is boundless and has a huge volume of water, so finding Li Su is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhou Chen certainly didn't intend to search for someone in the ocean; he had a simpler way.

"Emperor Seal Technique - Sea Overturning Seal!"

A resounding, powerful shout echoed, and a deep blue energy crystal handprint materialized in Zhou Chen's hand!

The next second, Zhou Chen pushed his hand, and the blue handprint suddenly slashed down, directly lifting all the seawater in the ocean into the sky!

However, they still couldn't find Li Su.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes.

"Li Su, you will die!"

Zhou Chen let out a cold shout, his hands formed a hand seal, and a dazzling light burst forth from his palms, transforming into a palm-sized fire-patterned Dao Seal!

Immediately afterwards, golden holy fire burst forth from Zhou Chen's palm, which was the Daoist divine power - Samadhi True Fire!

"Boiling the Sea!"

A deep, cold shout echoed across the sky. Zhou Chen pointed downwards, and the Samadhi True Fire burning in his hand surged like a golden torrent towards the sea below!

The next second, the seawater, like oil, was instantly ignited by the Samadhi True Fire, and then swept away in all directions at an extremely fast speed!

In just a short while, the entire sea surface within sight was engulfed in flames!

Large amounts of seawater were continuously burned away.

Boiling the Sea involves using the Samadhi True Fire to alter the elements of water, causing it to burn into carbon dioxide, much like oil.

This carbon dioxide condenses in the ocean, forming a thick, oxygen-free barrier.

Li Su, who was already struggling to avoid the Samadhi True Fire, soon found that they were having difficulty breathing.

Because the oxygen is burned away by the Samadhi True Fire, and carbon dioxide cannot be used for breathing.

Although Martial Grandmaster expert is comparable to Third-Class Deity in the Douluo God Realm, even without oxygen, they will not suffocate immediately, but can switch to internal breathing and continue to survive by relying on their Yuan Power.

However, Li Su had already consumed too much of his Yuan energy and had to resist the Samadhi True Fire, so he simply didn't have the strength to convert much oxygen.
