How Are You Celestial Firmament Realm?

A deathly silence.

Thousands in the venue witnessed Shen Zhou's revenge.

The moment the Wu Family Head appeared, many realized the identity of the deceased, and gasps of shock rose one after another, unceasing.

"The one killed is a Wu Family member?"

"I recognize him—it's Wu Jiuyan, one of the Wu Family's three prodigies!"

"What, him?"

"This is insane. Who's that guy with the sword? He killed Wu Jiuyan right in front of the Wu Family Head. How dare he?"

The voices of shock grew more numerous and louder, until at last they were deafening, and the entire venue erupted.

Meanwhile.

The five great families reacted each in their own way.

The Xu Family.

"Oh? The Qin Family Sword Drawer killed Wu Jiuyan of the Wu Family? Now this is getting interesting!"

The Chu Family.

Chu Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "This guy, every time I see him he stirs up something. Killing Wu Jiuyan in front of the Wu Family Head—that takes some guts!"

The Lin Family.

Lin Yuling opened her mouth in curiosity: "Hey, who's that? He's fierce!"

Lin Fang, meanwhile, was utterly shocked: "Isn't that the kid who sparred with me at the inn before? How did he suddenly get so strong? I remember we were evenly matched!"

The Qin Family.

"This is bad, this is bad. The Family Head killed Wu Jiuyan, and right in front of his own father. Now the Wu Family won't let this go either!"

On the field, the strongest reaction naturally came from the Wu Family.

The moment they learned that the dead man was Wu Jiuyan, the Wu Family Members mobilized en masse, surging like a tide to surround Shen Zhou.

Facing the encirclement of the Wu Family, Shen Zhou showed no panic. He merely looked coldly at the Wu Family Head and said, "Are you his father?"

Wu Family Head Wu Hualong finally snapped out of his shock and grief, and what followed was a surge of overwhelming fury and murderous intent.

His eyes, sharp as blades, fixed on Shen Zhou, and he rasped, "Who are you, and why did you kill him?"

Shen Zhou said, "That question should really be asked of you. How did you raise such a wretched son that he would commit evil in the streets and bully others at will?"

Wu Hualong's gaze darkened: "You're retaliating for what happened in the market town yesterday?"

"So you knew about yesterday? It seems this isn't the first time something like that has happened."

"How dare those little bastards be compared to my son? My son is a noble scion, a martial genius. Even if those bastards were hacked to pieces, they wouldn't be worth a single hair on my son's head. And yet you dared to kill him?"

"Noble family? So what if you're a noble family? Does that mean you can act lawlessly? Does that mean you can bully the weak with your strength? Then I'm stronger than your son. Killing him is no different from killing a vicious dog. What can you do about it?"

Shen Zhou and Wu Hualong clashed head-on, their eyes meeting in a blaze of sparks, murderous intent running wild.

When he heard Shen Zhou call his son a dog, Wu Hualong could no longer hold back. He raised his hand and struck with a palm, roaring, "You're asking for death!"

Shen Zhou's long sword sang as he swung it in a slash, and said, "Old dog, you're the one asking for death!"

The battle erupted instantly.

The surrounding onlookers were caught off guard.

They hadn't expected that wild kid on the field to not only kill Wu Jiuyan but now even dare to take on the Wu Family Head—how bold could he be!

Boom, boom, boom...

While the crowd was still in shock, Shen Zhou and Wu Hualong had already gone berserk.

Neither held back any flourishes; every move was a killing strike.

As the Wu Family Head, Wu Hualong's cultivation had reached the ninth stage of the Transformation Realm, the pinnacle. His profound Yuan power, control over his strength, and combat experience were all beyond the reach of ordinary men.

A single punch from him could split mountains and crack the earth.

A single palm strike could shatter rocks and startle the heavens.

The moment Shen Zhou engaged him, he nearly couldn't hold his ground.

This wasn't because he was truly outmatched, but because his Entry's power hadn't caught up yet.

He had just fought Wu Jiuyan, so the Entry had only elevated his strength to the sixth or seventh stage of the Transformation Realm. Facing Wu Hualong at the ninth stage, he naturally suffered.

But the Entry would quickly adjust, raising Shen Zhou's power.

It was during this adjustment that Wu Hualong pressed Shen Zhou, venting his fury, and as he fought, he said, "Kid, who do you think you are, to lecture me?"

"The power and honor of a noble family—how could scum like you ever understand?"

"Scum belong underfoot. Scum should bow their heads and accept their fate like ants. If you dare to resist, I'll crush you!"

Wu Hualong threw a full-powered punch, sending Shen Zhou flying backward.

Protected by Yuan power, Shen Zhou emerged unscathed.

But it was precisely because of that punch that the Entry instantly locked onto its positioning, and its strength skyrocketed in that moment.

Feeling the change in power, Shen Zhou couldn't help but smile. Then he looked back at Wu Hualong and spoke, "An old dog is an old dog. Even when consequences arise, you only blame others, never admitting it's your own fault. Since that's the case, you should go die with your little pup!"

With Shen Zhou's sudden roar, a terrifying, explosive, world-shattering aura surged wildly from his body.

Sensing this aura, the Xu Family Head, who had been watching with a detached, amused expression, shot up from his seat and stared incredulously at the figure in the arena. "How... how is this possible? That brat, relying on the Qin Family Divine Weapon, has instantly surged to the Celestial Firmament Realm?"

Xu Baxia, standing beside him, shuddered at these words. "What? The Celestial Firmament Realm?"

Meanwhile.

At the Lin Family.

The Protecting Elder beside Lin Yuling and Lin Yusheng also widened his eyes in shock. "The Celestial Firmament Realm? Who exactly is he, to have crossed that threshold at such a young age?"

At the Chu Family.

When the Chu Family Elder relayed this news to Chu Tianqi, the latter's fan dropped to the ground, and his mouth fell open. "Him? The Celestial Firmament Realm? Are you dreaming?"

At the Yang Family.

The Yang Family Head was stunned at first, then suddenly understood. "So that's it. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant earlier, and no wonder he had such confidence, unafraid to offend anyone.

It turns out it's all because he can ascend to the Celestial Firmament Realm with that sword.

The Qin Family Iron Sword—truly a divine weapon defying the heavens!"

At the Qin Family.

When Shen Zhou had been at a disadvantage, Ancestor Qin was about to step in to help, but then Shen Zhou erupted.

Gazing at Shen Zhou, who now seemed like a god, Qin Fenglan halted her steps and murmured with fervent excitement, "The divine might of our ancestor—even a ten-thousandth of it is so dazzling and world-shaking. If the ancestor fully awakens his past life memories, I dare not imagine what peerless grace that would be!"

Shen Zhou's aura exploded fully, instantly sending the surrounding Wu Family Members flying.

The Wu Family Members were dumbfounded.

They simply couldn't believe that this brat of a young man was actually a Celestial Firmament Realm powerhouse.

When had the Celestial Firmament Realm become so worthless?

Yet that terrifying aura left them no choice but to believe.

Wu Hualong stared at Shen Zhou in shock as well. "The Celestial Firmament Realm? How can you be in the Celestial Firmament Realm?"

"I've cultivated the martial path for decades—diligently, earnestly, through winter and summer, day and night, never ceasing. And now, I've been stuck at the ninth stage of the Transformation Realm for over ten years, yet I've never been able to cross that threshold. But you... what gives you the right?"

Wu Hualong was hysterical, his eyes filled with hatred, doubt, and jealousy toward Shen Zhou. Then he furiously unleashed his strongest attack.

Whether it was truly the Celestial Firmament Realm, he had to verify it himself before he would believe.

Shen Zhou didn't disappoint him either.

He raised a hand toward the sky, and a massive pillar of light rapidly condensed into a sword.

It propped up the heavens, anchored the earth, its divine might overwhelming all.

The next moment, the sword's radiance toppled down with the force of world-ending destruction.

Boom...

The light swallowed everything.

Everyone in the venue instinctively closed their eyes, their ears plunged into boundless roaring, only able to feel a gale sweeping past them, tearing at their clothes.

No one knew how long passed before the gale ceased and the roaring faded.

Someone opened their eyes and eagerly looked toward the arena, only to see a horrifying sight.

Where the vast, open arena had once stood, a chasm now lay in the middle.

The chasm stretched from east to west, its depths invisible when looking down, as if it connected to the underworld.

Countless onlookers were left gaping, thinking: Is this the might of a Celestial Firmament Realm powerhouse?

As for the Wu Family, those who had surrounded Shen Zhou were now all lying fallen on either side of the chasm, blood pooling around them as they wailed in agony.

The Wu Family Head also lay beside the chasm, no different from the ordinary clan members.

His clothes were torn, his hair disheveled.

His body was drenched in blood, barely recognizable as human.

But he wasn't dead yet; a breath still hung in his throat. His gaze was vacant as he stared at Shen Zhou's figure, and he forced out, "The world... should not have... a monster like... you..."

Before he could finish, the Wu Family Head suddenly coughed up blood, then his breath ceased.

Thus.

The Wu Family Head had fallen!
