Nangong Tian, with disheveled hair, crawled out of the underground ruins.

His black robe was already tattered, and a deep fist-shaped indentation was visible in his chest, with the sound of bones breaking clearly audible.

Blood flowed continuously from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, staining most of his body red.

"Cough cough... Damn it!"

Nangong Tian coughed up mouthfuls of blood clots, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and savagery that seemed to burst forth in a tangible form.

He never dreamed that his prized foundation would be so easily defeated in front of Chen Changqing.

This Cultivator from the Yang Realm possessed power as immense as an ancient ferocious beast; his physical body, Law Power, and Divine Abilities were all incredibly formidable.

Chen Changqing slowly floated down from mid-air, his white robe Wuchen, holding the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear in one hand, and stopped at the edge of the deep pit.

"I told you long ago, you're not good enough."

Chen Changqing's expression was indifferent, the tip of his gun pointed at the disheveled figure at the bottom of the pit.

"The seal was broken under the protection of the Heavenly Gate, and this is all that's been achieved."

"The heir of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan in the Central Domain is nothing but a good-looking but useless piece of trash."

The plain words were like resounding slaps to Nangong Tian's face.

The few remaining Cultivators from the Central Domain who were watching the battle on the edge of the surrounding Floating Islands were deathly pale, and even their breathing had completely stopped.

Once upon a time, Nangong Tian was an invincible legend in their hearts.

Today, this myth is being trampled underfoot and wantonly trampled upon.

"Trash? You dare call me trash?!"

At the bottom of the deep pit, Nangong Tian suddenly raised his head.

His eyes turned completely crimson, his face was extremely distorted, and he exuded a hysterical frenzy.

As a once-in-a-millennium prodigy of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, he has been revered and adored since childhood.

He had never suffered such humiliation before!

"Chen Changqing, you forced me to do this!"

Nangong Tian burst into maniacal laughter, his voice hoarse and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Do you really think you can leave this Battle Platform alive after breaking my first seal?"

"Today, I, Nangong, will show you what the true Primordial Yama Bloodline is!"

Nangong Tian clasped his hands together, then suddenly thrust them forcefully into his heart and Dantian.

Pfft!

Ten fingers pierced the skin and flesh, and blood gushed out.

The vitality within Nangong Tian's body not only did not weaken, but instead erupted like dry tinder being ignited.

"Yama Heavenly Seal, Second Level!"

"The third level! Undo it for me!!"

A piercing roar tore through the sky.

Within Nangong Tian's body, two even thicker, jet-black chains, inscribed with countless ancient divine runes, snapped violently at his heart and Dantian!

Click! Click!

The crisp sound of breaking chains echoed clearly throughout the entire White Jade Plaza through the Heaven-Scanning Divine Screen.

The world, which had been at peace, was transformed into a living hell in that instant.

Nangong Tian's body began to grow rapidly.

Two zhang!

Five zhang!

It rose a full ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) above the ground!

Thick black demonic patterns rapidly spread across his face, running down his neck, while two sharp, white horns pierced through the void as they emerged from his forehead.

The Ultimate Realm of the Late Heavenly Monarch Stage!

Half-Step Tribulation Immortal!

At one point, the rising aura even faintly touched the threshold of a true Tribulation Immortal!

The black-gold Yama Emperor Blood transformed into a churning Blood Sea around him, completely engulfing the entire White Bone Battle Platform in a dense aura of death.

The two remaining thousand-foot-long White Bone Demon Swords around the Battle Platform were instantly reduced to dust under this oppressive force comparable to that of Tribulation Immortal expert.

The entire Extreme Dao Sword Formation has completely collapsed!

Outside in the White Jade Plaza, hundreds of thousands of Ghost Cultivators fell silent at this moment.

Even the city lords on the viewing platform couldn't help but fall off their seats, trembling all over.

The second and third layers of seals!

There were actually three layers of power sealed within Nangong Tian's body!

This is no young prodigy; this is clearly a Half-Step Tribulation Immortal level, disguised in a youthful appearance!

"They've gone mad... The Nangong Family has completely gone mad!"

A veteran elder from the Central Domain muttered to himself, his face ashen.

"If the triple seals are forcibly broken, even if Nangong Tian's physical body survives, his Dao foundation will be severely damaged."

"He's determined to eliminate Chen Changqing completely here at all costs!"

On the high platform, the smile on the face of the Dark Moon Ghost Lord froze completely, and her delicate body under the purple dress tensed to the extreme.

Half-Step Tribulation Immortal!

This has completely exceeded the scope of a normal competition. Even if she were to personally participate, she would have a very difficult time gaining the upper hand against Nangong Tian in this form.

Can Chen Changqing stop him?

The entire Floating Island is sinking violently.

Amidst the churning Blood Sea, Nangong Tian's ten-zhang-tall demonic body stood in the center of the Battle Platform.

The original Nine Netherworlds Heaven-Breaking Spear appeared somewhat slender in his hands, and he casually tossed it to the ground.

Nangong Tian stretched out his enormous hand, covered in black scales, and grasped the black Yama Ancient Sword that was floating above his head.

Clang!

This time, the Ancient Sword encountered no resistance whatsoever, and he drew it completely from its sheath.

The black sword, several meters long, is engraved with a complete picture of the eighteen levels of the Nine Netherworlds Hell.

The blade emitted a deep, dark light, and wherever it passed, even fragments of space were devoured and annihilated.

Nangong Tian lowered his head, looking down at Chen Changqing was standing on the edge of the deep pit.

Between the two stark white bone horns, blinding crimson lightning crackled.

Chen Changqing.

Nangong Tian's voice boomed like muffled thunder, causing visible ripples to spread through the void.

"This forced Nangong to break all three seals and unleash his natal Yama Ancient Sword."

"Even those veteran Heavenly Monarch of the Nine Netherworlds, if they died by this sword, would be able to rest in peace with a smile."

"Are you ready to die?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Nangong Tian didn't even use any complicated moves; he simply gripped his sword with both hands and slashed fiercely towards Chen Changqing's location.

Boom!

A jet-black Sword-Ray, hundreds of feet wide, tore through the sky.

Before the Sword-Ray even arrived, the extreme pressure originating from the Primordial Yama Bloodline had already sliced open a bottomless canyon in the hard White Bone Battle Platform.

This is power that Heavenly Monarch could not possess.

This is a full-force attack from Half-Step Tribulation Immortal!

Outside in White Jade Plaza, countless people held their breath.

In their view, faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, no True Lord or Heavenly Monarch Cultivator in the world would have any chance to struggle except to close their eyes and await death.

However.

Standing at the edge of the canyon, Chen Changqing remained completely calm.

Facing the whistling black and gold Sword-Ray that hurtled towards him, Chen Changqing backhanded the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear back into his sleeve.

"Triple seals have been broken in succession."

Chen Changqing's robes fluttered wildly in the raging wind of the sword.

"It seems your Nangong Family is almost out of cards."

Clang!

The Immortal Execution Sword hanging at his waist emitted a high-pitched sword cry.

Chen Changqing pointed his fingers like a sword, and the entire long sword shot into the sky, hovering three feet above his head.

At this moment, the aura of the Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure erupted completely. The hazy, Chaos Sword Ray, like a rising sun, dispelled the surrounding churning Blood Sea and death energy.

Not only that.

Within Chen Changqing's Sea of Consciousness, the Twelve Primordial Spirits simultaneously raised their hands, forming an ancient and profound hand seal.

Invincible Avatar Technique!

The supreme External Avatar technique obtained from the inheritance of the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor was no longer retained at this moment.

Whoosh!

The void beside Chen Changqing rippled violently.

Five figures, radiating dazzling Pure Yang divine light, stepped out from the void and stood side by side on the Battle Platform.

Each Avatar had the exact same face as Chen Changqing, dressed in snow-white robes, with Qi and Blood like a dragon.

What truly sends chills down the spines of everyone outside is...

The Law Power pressure flowing around these five Avatars, under the terrifying enhancement of the "Violence Formula," was exactly the same as that of the original, and all of them firmly stood at the peak of the Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage!

Five Avatar!

They are all Heavenly Monarch!

External Avatar?! How is that possible?!

On the high platform, the Rakshasa Ghost King completely lost his composure and screamed incoherently.

"How can there be five Avatars in the world with the exact same combat power as the original?!"

"What kind of divine lineage is this?!"

The deputy city lord of Black Mountain City rolled his eyes back, nearly fainting from the shock of the scene.

For ordinary Cultivators, creating External Avatar that possesses only 30-50% of the strength of their original body is already considered a top-tier Secret Method.

The five Avatars summoned by Chen Changqing were full of Qi and Blood, and their Dao principles were refined. They were actually five genuine Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage experts!

On the Floating Island.

Faced with the towering black and gold Sword-Ray slashing down from above, Chen Changqing's main body and his Avatars moved simultaneously.

The main body gripped the Immortal Execution Sword, flicked its wrist slightly, and delivered a direct strike.

The Immortal Execution Sword Technique, Fifth Form!

Immortal Execution!

The gray-white chaotic Sword Light tore through the Firmament, carrying the supreme killing intent to annihilate immortals and demons, and surged upstream.

The first Avatar thrusts its fists horizontally, unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Divine Fist Samsara Style, transforming into a massive millstone of life and death.

The second Avatar held the ten-thousand-foot-tall Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal, and a vast landscape of mountains and rivers unfolded in the void, with the Humanity’s Destiny hanging like an inverted Milky Way.

The third incarnation Avatar a spear as swift as a dragon, unleashed the fifth move of the Nine Tribulations God-Slaying Spear Technique: Spirit-Slaying Tribulation, its dark spear light piercing through the void.

The fourth incarnation Avatar hand seals, and the Three Extremes Origin Seal swelled with the wind, transforming into three ancient divine mountains to suppress the four directions.

The fifth Avatar, stepping on the Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step, transformed into an extremely sharp Pure Yang Sword Light, piercing straight into the back of Nangong Tian's massive body!

All six Heavenly Monarch unleashed their most powerful and deadly techniques simultaneously in that instant!

Rumble!!

The sky over the entire Primordial Ancestral Land Minor World completely collapsed.

The ten-thousand-foot-long black-gold Sword-Ray clashed fiercely with the six ultimate Divine Ability above the Floating Island.

The blinding light completely engulfed the Heaven-Scanning Divine Screen, causing the entire White Jade Plaza to shake violently, and countless hard white jade tiles were shattered into dust by the aftershocks.

The tens of thousands of Ghost Cultivators on Heavenly Gate Plaza, regardless of their cultivation level, all felt a deafening ringing in their ears and a blankness in their Sea of Consciousness at this moment.

A violent surge of chaotic Principle raged wildly across the Battle Platform.

Nangong Tian's seemingly indestructible ten-thousand-foot-long black-gold Sword-Ray, under the combined attack of the six peerless Divine Abilities, only lasted for three breaths.

Click!

With a clear, mournful cry, the black Sword-Ray, hundreds of feet long, was cleaved open by the Chaos Sword Ray of the Immortal Execution Sword, creating a huge rift.

Immediately afterwards, the Grinding Wheel of Life and Death crashed in, and the Human Emperor's Seal slammed down with a deafening roar.

The entire Yama Sword shattered into pieces in mid-air, transforming into a shower of black and gold light.

"No! Impossible!!"

Nangong Tian's massive body trembled violently, and the tiger's mouths of his hands, which were gripping the Yama Ancient Sword, exploded on the spot, revealing the bone.

The terrifying recoil force surged back along the sword, shattering his bones inch by inch.

Before he could recover from the shock...

The fifth Avatar had silently appeared directly above his head.

The Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear transformed into a dazzling golden lightning bolt, piercing directly through Nangong Tian's protective Gang Qi and fiercely passing through his ten-zhang-tall demonic body's left shoulder!

Pfft!

Black and golden Essence Blood gushed out of the wound like a waterfall.

Nangong Tian let out a heart-wrenching scream, his ten-zhang-tall demonic body staggering backward and crashing heavily into the remaining rubble cliff at the edge of the Battle Platform.

My natal Yama Ancient Sword flew out of my hand and landed diagonally in the bone ground dozens of feet away. The sword's light dimmed, and it emitted a series of mournful cries.

The violent air currents between heaven and earth gradually subsided.

In the center of the Battle Platform, five white-robed Avatars spread out like stars surrounding the moon, completely encircling the wounded and fallen Nangong Tian.

Chen Changqing, holding the Immortal Execution Sword, his white robe fluttering gently in the breeze, slowly landed half a zhang in front of Nangong Tian.

The sword's edge pointed diagonally at the ground, its tip emitting a sharp, Chaos Sword Ray.

Chen Changqing looked down at Nangong Tian, who lay limp in a pool of blood, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"The triple seal has been broken, and my natal Ancient Sword has been unleashed."

"Young Master Nangong, what other trump cards do you have up your sleeve?"

Nangong Tian's enormous demonic body began to shrink rapidly, like a deflated sack, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to the size of a normal person.

He lay sprawled among the rubble, his hair disheveled, his body covered in blood, his chest rising and falling weakly.

One of the two originally imposing bone horns had broken off, and the remaining Yama Emperor Blood in his body had completely dried up and become disordered.

We lost.

A complete and utter defeat.

This was achieved after using all available resources and even forcibly breaking through three seals to reach the Half-Step Tribulation Immortal.

He was still crushed and shattered head-on by Chen Changqing in an almost overwhelming manner!

Outside in White Jade Plaza, hundreds of thousands of people stared at each other in disbelief; the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

The Rakshasa Ghost King slumped in his chair, utterly dejected.

The deputy city lord of Black Mountain City felt a chill run through him, his eyes filled with nothing but endless despair.

Before the main altar, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord slowly raised his wine cup, drank the wine in one gulp, and his clear, melodious laughter echoed in the sky above the Heavenly Gate.

On the Floating Island.

Chen Changqing raised the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand, and slowly extended the tip forward, firmly pressing it against the center of Nangong Tian's throat.

The icy touch sent a shiver down Nangong Tian's spine.

"No... don't kill me!"

The madness and arrogance in Nangong Tian's eyes vanished completely at this moment, leaving only a deep-seated fear.

He stared at the longsword so close to him, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"I am the direct descendant of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan! My ancestor was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Gate Law Hall!"

"If you kill me, you will find no refuge in the heavens, the earth, Nine Netherworlds!"

Pleading for mercy and threats clashed on the Battle Platform.

Chen Changqing remained indifferent, his wrist slightly lowering, and the tip of his sword instantly pierced the skin at Nangong Tian's throat, drawing out a drop of scarlet blood.

Just as Chen Changqing was about to swing his sword and behead Nangong Tian...

Boom!

The void above the Floating Island collapsed without warning.

A colossal hand, crackling with purple Heavenly Tribulation lightning, emerged from the highest heavens, tearing apart the boundary of the Minor World's Principle and slamming down towards Chen Changqing in the center of the Battle Platform!

At the same time, an old and cold voice resounded through the Firmament:

"You brat, how dare you harm the bloodline of the Nangong Family! You cannot be allowed to live!"
