Slaying True Dragons Like Eating a Meal—Are You Even Human?

"That was exactly the effect I wanted."

Not only was Chu Tian unafraid, he let out a low shout. Raising his palm wreathed in flowing Chaotic Black Light, he seized the Great Peng Bird Cub's sharp claw and tore hard.

Splat!

The Great Peng Bird Cub was ripped cleanly in two, golden Peng blood spraying everywhere.

Chu Tian shouted, his blood energy surging into the heavens as chaos-colored light flowed across his body. The True Dragon Cub's tail lashed against his back, leaving only a faint mark—not even enough to breach his defenses.

Chu Tian turned and threw a punch, blasting the True Dragon Cub's head apart.

With a sweeping kick, the True Roar Cub exploded on the spot.

At that moment, time began moving again on the Bone Forging Ranking outside.

Chu Tian, tenth level of Bone Forging, slaughtered one thousand Primordial Mammoth Elephants in thirty seconds. In three seconds, he slaughtered one Golden Winged Great Peng Cub and one True Dragon Cub.

In ten seconds, two True Dragon Cubs, three Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird Cubs, and one True Roar Cub.

"Did I see that wrong?"

"Didn't Primordial Fierce Beasts only appear during the trial after reaching the Spirit Refining Realm, or even the Body Integration Realm?"

"Fighting True Dragon Cubs head-on... is he even human?"

"Isn't fighting Primordial Giant Beast Cubs at the physical realm supposed to be the limit of the Human Race?"

"One in three seconds—no, he killed one Primordial Giant Beast Cub every two seconds?"

Second by second, time passed, and the numbers behind it kept changing. The heavy breathing within the hall grew increasingly ragged, everyone panting like oxen.

If the Hengtian Ranking Trial could be interrupted, they would have rushed into the Testing Space to see whether Chu Tian was cheating.

Very soon!

When the time reached one minute, the test ended.

Chu Tian's name instantly rose to first place on the Bone Forging Ranking.

Chu Tian, tenth level of Bone Forging, strength of One Point Five Million Jin. In one minute, slaughtered one thousand Primordial Mammoth Elephants, ten True Dragon Cubs, ten Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs, and ten True Roar Cubs.

Second place, Cihang Sacred Sect, Hui Mei, tenth level of Bone Forging, strength of nine hundred thousand jin, one minute...

"One Point Five Million Jin of strength?"

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" someone muttered, turning to ask the person beside him. "How much did you see?"

"One point five million."

"I saw one point five million too."

"Chu Tian possesses One Point Five Million Jin of strength in the Bone Forging Realm? That's nearly twice that of Primordial Fierce Beast Cubs?"

"Is the Chaos Demon God Body really this heaven-defying?"

"So this is the Sacred Heaven Sect's Holy Son?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." In the pool of blood, Ye Qiang's face was deathly pale. He coughed violently, his entire body convulsing as though he might breathe his last at any moment.

Yet at a time like this, no one had the leisure to care about him.

Buzz!

At that moment, Chu Tian emerged from the Golden Vortex. His black robes were immaculate, and his expression was calm. He gave Ye Qiang a casual glance, then glanced at the Bone Forging Ranking. As if he had not sensed the strange atmosphere in the hall, he lifted a foot and left Hengtian Hall.

His purpose in coming to Hengtian Hall had been to suppress every member of the Ye Family's younger generation, Ye Qiang included—not merely one person.

If Ye Qiang had not come looking for him, Chu Tian would not even have been motivated to cause him trouble. Defeating him had merely been a casual act.

If he wanted to court death, Chu Tian would send him on his way.

It was that simple.

As for paying him excessive attention, Chu Tian felt that his time and energy were precious and should not be wasted on insignificant people or matters.

"Congratulations, Host. You have suppressed the Pseudo Son of Destiny, Ye Qiang, dealt a severe blow to his mindset, and inflicted irreversible trauma upon him. Reward: one thousand Destiny Points."

"Congratulations, Host. You have suppressed the destiny of the Son of Destiny, Ye Fan. Reward: one thousand Destiny Points."

The system's gentle, pleasant voice rang out.

Chu Tian left.

But at this moment.

Within Hengtian Hall, the Earth Ranking suddenly shifted. Chu Tian's name abruptly appeared in first place.

First on the Earth Ranking: Sacred Heaven Sect's Holy Son Chu Tian, eight years old, Chaos Demon God Body, first on the Bone Forging Ranking.

Second on the Earth Ranking: Cihang Sacred Sect's Hui Lian Saintess, Saintess Physique, born with immortal qi in her mouth. Blood Condensation at one, Bone Forging at two, Spirit Refining at four. Once first in the Blood Condensation Realm, second in the Bone Forging Realm, first in the Spirit Refining Realm, first in the Body Integration Realm...

Third on the Earth Ranking: Heart Demon Sect...

Ye Qiang, who had only just squeezed into ninety-ninth place on the Earth Ranking, had also vanished from the list.

The Hengtian Earth Ranking only recorded the ninety-nine most promising geniuses under thirty.

The entire hall fell utterly silent.

In the pool of blood, Ye Qiang's eyes bulged wide with fury before he fainted outright.

The Sacred Heaven Sect had two main peaks, representing its two Founding Families: the Chu Family Sacred Emperor Peak and the Ye Family Sacred Emperor Peak.

At the highest point of Sacred Emperor Peak stood the main hall.

After Chu Tian returned to the Chu Family and had just arrived outside the hall, a hunchbacked old man came forward and respectfully bowed to him.

"Young Master, Madam's divine projection has descended from the God Clan and is currently discussing matters with the master. Please wait for a moment."

The hunchbacked old man's face was deeply lined, his eyes clouded and lifeless, like an elderly man at death's door.

But Chu Tian knew that this was merely Old Tuo's outward appearance.

No one knew Old Tuo's real name anymore, but he had always been responsible for guarding the main hall of Sacred Emperor Peak. Even Chu Tianwang had to address him as Grandpa Tuo when he saw him.

Sacred Emperor Peak seemed to have countless experts, yet this old man could at least rank second among them.

After Chu Tianwang's death, when Chu Tian had fallen into the demonic path and escaped from a tight encirclement, it had all been thanks to this old man risking his life to hold Ye Tianxiong back.

Though he was not a member of the Chu Family, he had spent his entire life with them. He was more Chu Family than many of its Direct Descendants, and far more reliable.

"Alright, Grandpa Tuo."

Hearing that his mother, Jian Kongzhu, had sent down a divine projection, Chu Tian's heart stirred slightly. He returned the bow with impeccable manners, then stood at the entrance with Grandpa Tuo and waited.

It seemed his actions had produced a butterfly effect.

In the original plot, Jian Kongzhu had remained in seclusion within the Ancient Sword God Clan beyond the domain, occupied with something unknown. In the end, she had died amid the God Clan's internal struggles.

It was precisely because of Jian Kongzhu's death that, with her deterrent gone, Chu Tianwang and the Chu Family had suffered a tremendous blow. Only then had the Ye Family dared to deliver its final strike against the Chu Family.

However, Ye Tianxiong had once held a conversation with Ye Fan that vaguely revealed Jian Kongzhu had apparently clashed fiercely with an ancestor of the Ancient Sword God Clan in order to secure something important for Chu Tian. Ye Tianxiong had fanned the flames from behind the scenes, leading to her death.

Now that Jian Kongzhu could send down a divine projection, it meant she was still free and could return to the Sacred Heaven Sect at any time.

At that moment, an icy female voice suddenly came from inside the hall.

"Chu Tianwang, I don't care about your Sacred Heaven Sect's grand situation or unity, and I cannot be bothered to care. All I know is that if something like this happens again, I will return at once and split that Sacred Emperor Peak of the Ye Family in two with a single sword strike. Even some trash from the Ye Family dared to bully my precious son. What kind of Vice Sect Master are you? You might as well change your name to Ye Coward."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough... Madam, lower your voice. There are people outside the hall." Chu Tianwang's slightly embarrassed voice sounded.

"Why should I lower my voice? I am saying this for my son to hear. What kind of birth does my son have? He possesses the Supreme Physique, the Chaos Demon God Body, a talent and physique rarely seen since ancient times. He is also the son of me, the Broken Sword Goddess Jian Kongzhu. He was born to stand atop the Starry Sky, his radiance illuminating all the heavens. Yet in your Sacred Heaven Sect, he has to keep a low profile and tread carefully at every turn. Why?" Jian Kongzhu's voice remained icy, leaving Chu Tianwang no face at all.

Even though it was merely a divine projection, Jian Kongzhu could clearly sense everything within Sacred Emperor Peak.
