Purple Heavenly Tribulation surged at the collapsed void rift, severely deforming the sky over the entire Minor World.

That colossal hand, formed from pure Tribulation Immortal Method, covered the entire ten-thousand-foot-tall White Bone Battle Platform. The lines on the palm were clearly visible, and within each line flowed the destructive power of the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Lightning.

The rocks and trees below the Battle Platform turned to ashes the instant the giant hand landed.

Outside, at the Heavenly Jade Plaza.

The Rakshasa Ghost King, who had been dejected, suddenly sprang up from his black jade chair, slammed his hands on the white jade railing in front of him, and burst into wild laughter.

"Haha! The Grand Elder of the Law Hall has made his move!"

The Rakshasa Ghost King, his face glowing red, pointed at the giant purple lightning palm on the main Heaven-Scanning Divine Screen and shouted loudly at the elders of the surrounding cities.

"That's the Pillar of Stability of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, a top-tier Tribulation Immortal who survived three life-or-death Heavenly Tribulations!"

"This arrogant mortal from the mortal Yang Realm, does he really think he can roam freely in the Heavenly Gate just because he defeated his peer? He injured Young Master Nangong; even if he had ten lives, he would die here today!"

The deputy city lord of Black Mountain City, who had fallen to the ground, scrambled to his feet, not bothering to brush the dust off his robes, and shouted in agreement.

"I'm dead! Absolutely dead!"

"Tribulation Immortal's palm strike from afar could obliterate this entire Primordial Minor World. How could he, with his mere Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage strength, possibly withstand it?!"

"The millions of Ghost Coins that I pledged out have been saved!"

The one-eyed elder of Blood Baleful Intent City, the Lord of Specter Ridge, and other high-ranking members of the Outer Domain all breathed a sigh of relief. Their previous frustration and fear vanished, replaced by gloating smiles.

As long as Chen Changqing is smashed into mincemeat on the spot, leaving no evidence, Nangong Tian will still be the only surviving winner. Not only will they not lose the big bet they placed on the gambling table, but they can also take the opportunity to swallow up the millions of mineral veins in Dark Moon City!

On the main altar, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she slammed her palm down, shattering the table in front of her.

Boom!

The vast Yin Qi of Peak Ghost King Stage surged from her body, causing her purple dress to flutter wildly. She stepped off the high platform, ready to forcefully tear through space and break into the Ancestral Land to save people.

However, she had only just risen three feet into the air.

The nine Obsidian pillars standing around the high platform suddenly lit up with a blinding blood-red light, and countless complex Heavenly Gate restriction runes intertwined into a net, pressing down from above.

With a muffled thud, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord's protective Yin energy was shattered into pieces. He groaned and stumbled back into the viewing platform, blood beading from his tiger's mouth.

"Black Armor Ghost Immortal! What do you mean by this?!"

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord clutched his chest and sternly questioned the burly figure in the center of the high platform.

"That old bastard from the Nangong Family openly violated the Ancestral Land rules, using his status as Tribulation Immortal to try and kill a junior! And you, as the chief judge of the competition, not only did nothing, but you even activated the Heavenly Gate Palace Array to stop me?!"

The First Ghost General turned bloodshot as he drew his sword and slashed fiercely at the barrier's light screen, sending sparks flying, but not even leaving a white mark.

Faced with the angry questions from the Dark Moon City, the Black Armor Ghost Immortal, sitting upright in the main seat, didn't even lift his eyelids.

The nine Principle binding him hung silently, their sound calm.

"Grand Elder Nangong is the head of the Heavenly Gate Law Hall. He acts on behalf of Heaven to punish, and it is his duty to inspect the Ancestral Lands."

"That Cultivator from the Yang Realm possessed an excessively heavy Sha Qi, suggesting he might be carrying a secret treasure belonging to a spies from the Yang Realm. The Grand Elder's intervention to suppress and search his soul was in accordance with the laws of the Heavenly Gate."

"Dark Moon City, please calm down. Once the Grand Elder has investigated the truth, he will give you an explanation."

The distorted and misleading statements spread throughout the room.

The elders of the major Aristocratic Clan in the surrounding Central Domain nodded and sneered, their gazes toward the Dark Moon City stands filled with mockery and ridicule.

What kind of Heavenly Gate Laws and Regulations are these? What kind of Soul Searching and Investigation are they? They're clearly just blatantly protecting their own and killing people!

The Ancestral Land Floating Island.

Nangong Tian, Immortal Execution Sword pressed against his throat, trembled violently when he felt the extremely familiar power of the Tribulation Immortal above his head.

Immediately afterwards, boundless ecstasy dispelled all the fear in his heart.

"Haha! Ancestor! It's the Ancestor who's come to save me!"

Lying amidst the rubble and blood, Nangong Tian completely ignored the blood flowing from his neck, pointing at Chen Changqing who was right in front of him, and roared like a madman.

"Chen Changqing! You're finished! You're completely finished!"

"I already told you to kneel down and beg for mercy! Ancestor! Don't just kill him outright. Cripple his cultivation, peel his skin off inch by inch. I want to personally put his Twelve Primordial Spirits into the Nine Netherworlds Underworld Fire and refine them for ten thousand years!!"

The wild and shrill shouts echoed across the Battle Platform.

Above their heads, the colossal hand, wreathed in Purple Empyrean Divine Lightning, had already descended to within a thousand feet.

The terrifying pressure of the Tribulation Immortal crushed the white bone stone slab where Chen Changqing stood into powder a foot deep, and the surrounding space was completely solidified, so that not even a wisp of wind could move.

Chen Changqing stood still, his white robe pressed tightly against his body.

He didn't look up at the giant hand that blotted out the Firmament; instead, he lowered his gaze and calmly looked at Nangong Tian, who was shouting wildly at his feet.

"Shouting so loudly, do you really think that old man can save you?"

Chen Changqing's voice was very soft.

The next instant, a thought flickered in his mind.

"Rise!"

The five white-robed Avatars standing around the Battle Platform soared into the sky at the same moment!

Faced with that powerful hand of Tribulation Immortal that would even drive a true Peak Heavenly Monarch Stage to despair, the five Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage Avatar did not flinch. They formed Five Elements Battle Formation in mid-air, each activating all the Pure Yang Origin within their bodies.

"The Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal!"

On the left, two Avatar held up the sky with their hands, and two pure gold square seals, each ten thousand feet in size, suddenly condensed. The mountains, rivers, and the fortunes of the Nine Provinces shone brightly, flowing against the current to meet the giant palm.

"Heavenly Emperor Divine Fist, Reincarnation!"

The two Avatars on the right simultaneously unleashed their fists, and the hazy, Chaos Qi in the void transformed into two enormous millstones of life and death, carrying an overbearing Fist Intent of crushing all laws of the heavens, and slammed fiercely into the five knuckles of the giant hand.

"The Three Extremes Origin Seal!"

The fifth Avatar in the very center formed hand seals, and the three ancient Law Seals mountain, water, and fire instantly merged, transforming into a majestic divine mountain flowing with chaotic immortal light, which stood above Chen Changqing's true form!

Rumble--!

The five Avatars ' strongest killing moves collided fiercely with the giant purple lightning hand a thousand feet in the sky!

The deafening explosion Floating Island dozens of surrounding mountain peaks into a shower of rubble.

The raging purple tribulation lightning poured down along the palm lines, instantly shattering the ancient divine mountain formed by the Three Extremes Origin Seal. The chest of the fifth Avatar collapsed on the spot, spitting out golden Pure Yang blood.

Immediately afterwards, the two millstones of life and death collapsed with a crash after holding on for half a breath. The arms of the two Avatars on the right were broken inch by inch, and their bodies cracked violently in the sea of lightning.

Only the two Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal, which condensed the orthodox fortune of the Yang Realm, stood firmly against the center of the giant palm, their Golden Light and purple lightning frantically annihilating each other, emitting a piercing friction sound.

Although the five Avatars were completely damaged the moment they made contact, and could even disintegrate at any moment.

However, the combined power of these six supreme forces ultimately managed to hold up the arrogant Tribulation Immortal's hand in mid-air for a full three breaths!

"What?!"

High above, from behind the spatial rift came the furious shout of the Nangong Family patriarch.

On the Battle Platform, before Nangong Tian could even finish his maniacal laughter, he saw Chen Changqing slowly raise the wrist of the Immortal Execution Sword.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without the slightest concern arising from the arrival of the Tribulation Immortal, they did not hesitate at all.

Chen Changqing looked at Nangong Tian, whose expression had suddenly changed, and swung his arm down.

Let's get going.

Clang!

The Immortal Execution Sword emitted a clear, melodious hum.

The grayish-white Chaos Sword Ray grazed past Nangong Tian's neck.

It's so fast that even the Principle spatial solidification can't hinder it in the slightest.

"Ancestor, save me..."

Before Nangong Tian could utter the last word, his head was already flying high into the air.

The Yama Emperor Blood, dark yet with a faint Golden Light, gushed three zhang high from the smooth, mirror-like severed neck, scattering across the broken bones scattered on the ground.

"How dare you, you brat!!"

High above, the Grand Elder of the Dharma Hall let out a heart-wrenching roar, which shook the entire sea of clouds in the Nine Netherworlds Heavenly Gate to its core.

At the same time, a blinding black light suddenly shone from within Nangong Tian's headless corpse.

An ancient Jade Pendant carved with a nine-headed demon shattered from his chest, transforming into a dark light shield that enveloped Nangong Tian's natal emperor soul, which had just escaped from his Sea of Consciousness, and was about to flee to the outside world through the collapsing spatial rift above his head.

This is a secret treasure bestowed by the patriarch of the Nangong Family, a substitute for death. Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the soul is not destroyed, the immortal body can be reshaped by the power of the Nine Netherworlds Book of Life and Death!

"Want to leave?"

Chen Changqing stood beside the pool of blood, his left hand suddenly spreading its five fingers wide.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits and the Three Great Star Primordial Spirits trembled simultaneously.

The five thousand miles of Divine Sense instantly contracted and condensed, transforming into an impenetrable net of crimson-gold stars, which descended from the sky.

Boom!

The dark light shield, which was said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from Heavenly Monarch, couldn't even last half a breath under the brutal crushing force of the Twelve Primordial Spirits, and instantly shattered into countless fragments.

With his soul exposed to the air and now without protection, Nangong Tian's face was filled with extreme terror and despair as he desperately stretched out his hands toward the giant purple hand above.

"Immortal Execution Sword Domain, Strike!"

Chen Changqing pointed to one point.

The gray-white Sword Qi surrounding the Battle Platform suddenly converged, transforming into a rapidly spinning Chaos Sword Qi vortex that directly engulfed Nangong Tian's natal emperor soul.

Sizzle!

The piercing screams lasted only a moment before abruptly ceasing.

This young master of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, who had dominated the Central Domain for thirty years and possessed the Primordial Yama Emperor Blood, was torn into nothingness by Sword Qi energy right in front of his Tribulation Immortal Ancestor, leaving not even a wisp of his remnant soul behind!

Both body and soul were destroyed!

[Ding! You have defeated Nangong Tian, a prodigy at the Half-Step Tribulation Immortal level, and gained 15,000,000 AFK Points!]

[Current AFK Points Balance: 99,500,000 points!]

The system notification sounded crisply in my mind.

With a balance of nearly 100 million AFK Points, Chen Changqing's internal Qi and Blood became more active.

At the same time, the Nangong Tian Netherworld Jade Talisman floating on Nangong Tianshi's body suddenly exploded, and all 29,000 points Points into a thick black light, which disappeared into the Token in front of Chen Changqing's chest.

Chen Changqing's total Points instantly soared to 55,600 points!

At the top of the main Heaven-Scanning Divine Screen, Nangong Tian's name shattered and vanished completely, leaving only the three characters "Chen Changqing," radiating a dazzling Golden Light, standing out from the crowd!

Chen Changqing wasted no time, gently rolling his sleeves towards the ground.

The High-grade Immortal Artifacts, the Yama Ancient Sword and the Nine Nangong Tian- Nine Netherworlds Heaven-Breaking Spear, which were stuck not far away, as well as the three Storage Rings on the Nangong Aristocratic Clan Tian's fingers, were all forcibly suppressed by the aura of the Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal and directly stored into the Minor World of the Heaven-Stepping Ring, even though they were imprinted with the soul restrictions of the Nangong family.

All of this, from wielding the sword to beheading someone to collecting the spoils, took only two breaths.

Outside, at White Jade Plaza, everything was in complete chaos.

"Killed... really killed?!"

The deputy city lord of Black Mountain City had his eyes bulging out of their sockets, his hands gripping his hair tightly as he let out a pig-like wail.

"My three million Ghost Coins! My Quasi-Immortal Artifact protective gear!!"

The one-eyed elder of Blood Baleful Intent City coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backward against the stone pillar, unconscious.

The Rakshasa Ghost King was completely stiff, the wine cup in his hand was crushed into powder, the sharp fragments pierced his palm, and black blood dripped to the ground, but he was completely unaware.

It's over.

It's all over!

Six million Ghost Coins, plus the Taiyin Black Iron Vein that Rakshasa City relied on for survival, all fell into Dark Moon City's hands as Nangong Tian's head fell to the ground!

"A madman! This kid from the Yang Realm is a complete and utterly reckless madman!"

In the stands of the Central Domain, the elders of the Han Family and Wang Families were all pale-faced, their voices trembling.

"The Grand Elder of the Law Hall had already probed into the Minor World with his Tribulation Immortal Method, yet he didn't even blink an eye, and right in front of the Grand Elder, he reduced Young Nangong to ashes?!"

"What incredible courage and cruelty that must take!"

On the main altar, the Dark Moon Ghost Lord, who had just been repelled by the restriction, stared blankly at the white-robed figure on the divine screen who had sheathed his sword. His chest heaved violently, and then he burst into a deafening laugh.

"Good! Well done! That was a satisfying kill!"

The Dark Moon Ghost Lord laughed until tears welled in his eyes, pointing at the ashen-faced Rakshasa Ghost King and the others without any regard for his image.

"This is the number one person in the Central Domain that you've been praising to the skies? This is the young master of Nangong whom you've bet your life on?!"

"Under the sword of my guest Chen, you're nothing but a dead dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy!"

The First Ghost General was so excited that his face turned red. He swung his battle sword and split the Stone Table in front of him in two, roaring wildly in his hoarse voice.

"Guest Elder is mighty! Dark Moon City is invincible!!"

However, the cheers from the Outer Domain stands lasted only a moment before being completely suppressed by a terrifying thunderstorm originating from the heavens.

"Aaaaa!! You little beast!!"

Above the Firmament, the ancient voice had completely lost its reason, turning into a hysterical, frantic roar.

"You dare kill my Tian'er! You dare sever the imperial bloodline of my Nangong Family!!"

"Even if it means suffering the backlash of Heavenly Dao, I will tear you to pieces and slaughter every last soul in the entire Dark Moon City!!"

Rumble!

Above the Floating Island, the spatial rift that was originally only a thousand feet in size suddenly expanded more than tenfold.

The Grand Elder of the Dharma Hall had clearly gone completely mad, recklessly burning his own Tribulation Immortal essence to forcibly pour more power into the Minor World.

The purple lightning hand, which was being held back by the five Avatars, instantly tripled in size!

In his palm, a blood-red Judge's Brush's pen, a thousand feet long, appeared, carrying a terrifying Principle capable of obliterating all realms, and he pressed it down fiercely!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five consecutive muffled explosions rang out in mid-air.

The five Avatar the Heavenly Monarch, who had already reached their limits, could no longer maintain their forms under the impact of this Tribulation Immortal Origin that truly transcended the boundaries between immortals and mortals. They instantly transformed into five brilliant clusters of Pure Yang Golden Light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The raging, thunderous giant hand continued its unabated momentum, carrying a world-destroying force, directly enveloping the entire ten-thousand-foot-high Floating Island, and slamming down fiercely towards Chen Changqing's true form below!

They were less than a hundred feet away from Chen Changqing's head!

The ground of the entire Floating Island began to collapse and disintegrate on a large scale, and countless spatial cracks spread wildly around Chen Changqing, completely blocking all his escape routes.

If this attack lands, let alone a Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage, even a true Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection would be reduced to chaotic dust along with this ancient ruin!

The devastating purple lightning tore open numerous rips in Chen Changqing's white robe.

The cultivation boost brought by the "Violence Formula" was rapidly fading. Forcibly confronting the backlash of the Tribulation Immortal Method caused a trickle of bright red blood to seep from the corner of Chen Changqing's mouth.

Even in this seemingly hopeless situation, Chen Changqing's spine remained ramrod straight, and his face showed no sign of despair.

He looked up at the colossal, thunderous hand that was so close, a hand so powerful that even the Heaven and Earth Laws seemed to yield to it, and a hint of mockery flashed deep in his eyes.

"Someone who acts like they're old and entitled."

"Do you really think only your Nangong Family has elders to protect you?"

Chen Changqing did not use the Immortal Execution Sword again, and even deliberately dispersed the Pure Yang Gang Qi surrounding his body.

He slowly raised his left hand, reached into his robes, and pulled out a warm, ancient-looking Azure Jade Sword Talisman.

The sword talisman had no elaborate carvings on its surface, only a solitary peak piercing the clouds.

This was the life-saving trump card that Sect Master Daoist Chen Yuan personally gave him before he left the Shu Mount Shu the Yang Realm. It contained three strands of the original power belonging to the top sword immortals of Mount Shu!

"Old man, today I'll let you taste the sharpness of my Mount Shu sword!"

Chen Changqing suddenly clenched his five fingers together.

Click!

The Azure Jade Sword Talisman shattered in his palm.

In an instant, time and space in the entire Primordial Ancestral Land Minor World seemed to freeze completely.

There was no deafening thunder, nor any earth-shattering storm of Principle.

Only a faint, yet pure, wisp of azure light quietly rose from Chen Changqing's shattered palm.

The wisp of blue light was initially only an inch long, like a firefly on a spring night.

However, the moment it left Chen Changqing's fingertips...

Clang!

A clear and melodious sword cry, seemingly originating from the depths of the primordial wilderness, transcended the boundaries of endless time and space, and resounded throughout the entire Nine Netherworlds Heavenly Gate!

Outside the White Jade Plaza, whether it was the tens of thousands of Ghost Cultivators on the stands or the Black Armor Ghost Immortals on the high platform, all the swords and weapons at their waists and in their Storage Rings trembled violently and uncontrollably at this moment, emitting mournful sounds of submission!

The next moment.

That wisp of azure light suddenly bloomed above the Floating Island, transforming into a peerless Green Lotus Sword Light that stretched across three thousand miles!

Wherever the azure light passed, the gloomy, leaden clouds in the sky melted away like ice and snow. The billions of ancient evil spirits remaining in the Minor World didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes under the majestic and righteous pressure of the sword immortal.

This is neither the ghostly Principle of the Nine Netherworlds, nor an ordinary divine Divine Ability of True Immortal.

This is the purest and most unparalleled sword immortal's will, capable of breaking through all laws with a single sword strike!

"What... what kind of Sword Qi is this?!"

High above, the once arrogant and domineering Grand Elder of the Law Hall suddenly changed his tone, revealing unprecedented horror and panic.

He clearly felt that the instant the cyan Sword Light appeared, his Tribulation Immortal soul, which was entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis, as if it was about to be split in two on the spot!

This is definitely not a power that Heavenly Monarch level cultivator could unleash; it has even surpassed that of ordinary First Tribulation or Second Tribulation Loose Immortals!

"Retreat!!"

The Grand Elder of the Law Hall could no longer care about avenging his grandson. He let out a terrified scream and desperately urged the Principle to retract the thunderous hand that had entered the Minor World.

However, in the face of the primordial Sword Qi of Daoist Chen Yuan, the Sect Master Mount Shu, all struggles seemed utterly laughable.

The Sword Light flashed like a startled swan, rising against the heavens.

Without the slightest pause, and without any fancy obstacles.
