Kicking His Way into the Central Domain with an Ancestor in Hand

"Breaked... broken through?!"

Grand Elder Nangong's one arm, which was gripping the Judge's Brush, convulsed violently, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, as if he had seen a real ancient Gods and Devils.

"Under the causal obliteration of the Yama's Book of Life and Death, he broke through the barrier of a major realm in the face of battle and became Heavenly Monarch?!"

"Is this guy even human?!"

The Rakshasa Ancestor was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, his legs went weak, and he nearly knelt down in the void.

Previously, this kid was only Half-Step Heavenly Monarch, but he was able to tear apart the Black Mountain Ancestor by relying on secret techniques to forcibly increase his cultivation.

Now that he has truly entered the Early Heavenly Monarch Stage realm, how terrifying must his combat power have become?!

In the center of the void, the five Avatars transformed into streams of light and re-entered Chen Changqing's body.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch, he no longer needed to use the "Violence Formula" or his Avatars to bolster his combat power.

Chen Changqing slowly clenched his fist.

The collision of joints produced a roaring sound like the movement of stars in the heavens.

The nine Purple Mansion Worlds continuously provide the Heavenly Monarch's source of power, and the level of Law Power under normal conditions is more than ten times stronger than when the "Violence Formula" was activated!

"The Book of Life and Death? It tastes good, but it's a bit undercooked."

Chen Changqing raised his head and looked at the two patriarchs who were terrified and pale a hundred miles away. He slowly drew the Immortal Execution Sword from his waist.

"Now, it's Chen's turn to send you two on your way."

"Sword World, open!"

Chen Changqing ran his fingers along the blade of the sword and uttered three words softly.

Buzz--!

It is no longer the Invincible Sword Domain at the True Lord level, but a true world rule evolved from the pure Heavenly Monarch origin and the Principle the Twelve Primordial Spirits — the Sword World!

In an instant, the pitch-black void within a radius of a hundred miles completely vanished, transforming into a sword world as bright as day!

Above the sky, countless Divine Swords formed from Pure Yang and Chaos Qi hung upside down like a galaxy; beneath the earth, endless Sword Qi burst forth, cleansing away the remaining Devil Qi of the Nine Netherworlds.

Within this Sword World, Chen Changqing is the sole ruler; all other laws retreat, for only the sword reigns supreme!

"Oh no! My Immortal Method has been completely suppressed!"

Rakshasa Ancestor was horrified to discover that in this world of swords, his proud First Tribulation Ghost Immortal Dao Fruit was sluggish, and even his spatial perception for teleporting away was completely severed by the endless sword energy!

"Split up and escape! Whoever survives is just a matter of fate!"

Grand Elder Nangong no longer cared about the dignity of his Aristocratic Clan. He kicked the Rakshasa Ancestor behind him towards Chen Changqing, then bit his tongue and spat out blood, preparing to burn the remaining source energy in his left shoulder and escape to the exit of the Central Domain.

"You old dog Nangong, you tricked me?!"

The Rakshasa Ancestor, suspended in mid-air, was so enraged that he cursed loudly.

However, his response was not Grand Elder Nangong's explanation, but an unparalleled Sword Light that seemed to have been cleaved down from the ancient Firmament.

Chen Changqing stood in the center of the Sword World, slowly sheathing the Immortal Execution Sword, his right hand gripping the hilt, his body slightly hunched.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch, the Yinyue Holy Dynasty's supreme martial Supreme Lore fully unleashed its true power to tear apart the universe in his hands.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!

Clang!

The Immortal Execution Sword is drawn!

At this moment, countless Star River Divine Swords throughout the entire Sword World resonated simultaneously, transforming into an extremely dazzling white light that stretched across a hundred miles of void, instantly passing over the body of the Rakshasa Ancestor!

Quick!

They were almost there, and the Rakshasa Ancestor didn't even have time to raise the Bone Demon in his hand!

Pfft!

A flash of white light, Rakshasa Ancestor froze in mid-air.

The next second, a straight line of blood appeared in the center of his forehead and extended downwards.

This One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal who had ruled Rakshasa City for thousands of years, along with the Low-grade Immortal Artifact demonic blade in his hand and most of the Ghost Immortal Primordial Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness, had half of his body sliced off on the spot by this sword -Sword Drawing Technique!

"Ah--!"

The remaining half of the broken Primordial Spirit, wrapped with a wisp of True Soul, let out a shrill scream. Using the shockwave from the explosion of half of its body, it transformed into a streak of bloody light and desperately burrowed into a narrow spatial rift, fleeing towards the Outer Domain.

With a single sword strike, he severely injured One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, slicing off half of his Dao Fruit!

Chen Changqing did not pursue the fleeing remnant soul. The resources and mines of Rakshasa City had long been exhausted. A half-crippled old monster whose cultivation had been destroyed could not cause any trouble.

His gaze fell on Grand Elder Nangong, who was frantically rushing towards the exit at the end of the passage.

At this moment, Grand Elder Nangong was terrified. He didn't even bother to pick up the Replica of Yama's Book of Life and Death had fallen into the air. He desperately burned his lifespan to propel himself forward.

He was just ten miles away from breaking through the Void Realm barrier and returning to the Nine Netherworlds Central Domain's Guiding Divine City, where the Nangong Aristocratic Clan's headquarters were located!

"Want to go back to your old base and call in reinforcements?"

Chen Changqing chuckled lightly and flicked his sleeve.

Splash--!

A chain, its entire body swirling with chaotic gray mist and its surface engraved with ancient immortal-sealing runes, shot out from his sleeve like a sea Flood Dragon!

The Ji Clan's secret treasure, the Chaotic Immortal-Locking Chain!

With the blessing of the Sword World's rules, the Immortal-Locking Chains moved faster than lightning, arriving first despite being behind, instantly traversing ten miles of void and catching up with the desperately fleeing Grand Elder Nangong.

"No!!"

Grand Elder Nangong felt a deadly chill from the back of his heart, his liver and gallbladder trembling, and he was about to self-destruct part of his Dharma body to resist.

Pfft! Pfft!

The sharp barbs at the front of the Chaotic Immortal-Locking Chain pierced through his protective Tribulation Immortal Gang Qi without any hindrance, going straight through his collarbones on both sides!

The Chaos Principle specifically restrain the spirituality and Primordial Spirit of immortals surged wildly into the chains, instantly locking and sealing the Three Tribulations of immortal essence and the Primordial Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness within Grand Elder Nangong's body!

Chen Changqing loosely clenched his fist and suddenly pulled backward.

"Come here!"

Boom!

Grand Elder Nangong, the dignified head of the Heavenly Gate Law Hall and a powerful Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal dominated the Central Domain, was dragged back from the exit of the passage like a dead dog with a fishhook through its cheek. He was slammed heavily onto the Sword World ground beneath Chen Changqing's feet, his teeth and blood splattering everywhere!

Chen Changqing stepped forward, casually beckoned, and put the Replica of Yama's Book of Life and Death floating in mid-air and the blood-red Judge's Brush into his pocket. Then he bent down, grabbed Grand Elder Nangong's disheveled gray hair with one hand, and lifted the dying Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal directly off the ground.

"You... you can't kill me... I am the Grand Elder of the Nangong Family..."

Grand Elder Nangong convulsed, black blood gushing from his collarbone, and his crotch was already stained with a foul stench from fear. He was no longer the awe-inspiring and imposing Tribulation Immortal he once was.

"Don't worry, killing you now would be too easy for you."

Chen Changqing, carrying Grand Elder Nangong, who was covered in blood, turned around and faced the spatial barrier at the end of the void passage, which exuded an ancient and desolate aura.

Behind the barrier lies the core territory that has ruled the Nine Netherworlds for ten thousand years— the Central Domain!

At this moment, within the Minor World of the Heaven-Stepping Ring, the five Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor Inheritance Tokens that had been lying quietly suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly piercing buzzing sound, separated by a thin layer of spatial barrier, and blood-red light shot straight into the sky!

The sixth Token is behind this wall!

"Isn't the Nangong Family just waiting to collect my corpse?"

With Grand Elder Nangong's head held in his right hand, Chen Changqing drew the Immortal Execution Sword with his left and slashed fiercely at the Central Domain Boundary Wall in front of him!

"Today, I, Chen, will personally deliver this generous gift to your door!"

Rumble--!

The Chaos Sword Ray, towering a thousand feet high, crashed into the spatial barrier.

The incredibly sturdy interdimensional gate of the Central Domain shattered and collapsed on the spot under this sword strike, turning into countless crystalline fragments of space!

The Central Domain Guiding Divine City.

Above the towering black and gold city gate, dark clouds loomed overhead, and banners obscured the sun.

On the huge White Jade Plaza in front of the city gate, three thousand elite iron guards of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, clad in heavy black and gold armor and wielding long halberds, stood solemnly on both sides.

The Second Master of the Nangong Family, who was at the head of the group, sat on a magnificent chariot pulled by a nine-headed Nether Beast, holding a cup of warm immortal tea. He was chatting and laughing with the patriarchs of more than a dozen Central Domain clans in the Central Region, waiting for their Grand Elder to return in triumph carrying the head of that madman from the Yang Realm.

Just then, without warning, a huge hole a thousand feet in diameter exploded in the Firmament directly above the divine city!

The raging Pure Yang Sword Qi poured out like a celestial river, instantly tearing the black and gold banners above the square into countless shreds.

Three thousand Nangong Iron Guards and the Second Master Nangong on the chariot simultaneously looked up.

Amidst the falling purple-gold blood rain, a figure in a pristine white robe stepped out from the collapsing void rift.

In the right hand of the white-robed youth, he was holding the hair of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan's Three Tribulations patriarch, the Grand Elder of the Dharma Hall, as if he were carrying a dead chicken!

The smiles on the faces of the thousands of powerful figures from the Central Domain instantly froze, and the immortal teacup in the hand of Second Master Nangong fell onto the chariot with a clatter and shattered.

The Guiding Divine City stands at the southern end of the Central Domain, specifically responsible for receiving and facilitating the passage of Ghost Cultivators from the Thirteen Cities of the Outer Domain.

The once bustling cross-dimensional teleportation plaza was deserted today, not a single person in sight.

Above the towering black and gold city wall, countless Cultivators from the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, clad in black and gold armor, stood in dense formation.

The rooftops of dozens of restaurants and teahouses surrounding the square were crowded with spies from various factions in the Central Domain who had rushed there after hearing the news.

"Have you heard? The Nangong Family completely sealed off the Guiding Divine City today; not even a fly can get out."

"What else could it be? A momentous event occurred during the Outer Domain Tournament: Nangong Tian, the prodigy of the Nangong Family, was murdered!"

"What?! Nangong Tian has been murdered?!"

An old- Heavenly Monarch on the roof of the teahouse dropped his folding fan onto the tiles with a thud, and was thrown off his chair.

"That's a ruthless individual ranked among the top ten on the Central Domain 'Heavenly Pride Ranking! He possesses the Primordial Yama Emperor Blood, and rumors say he's already been noticed by a powerful figure in the Underworld, with the potential for a direct transfer to the Underworld. Who would dare kill him in that remote, impoverished place like the Outer Domain?!"

"It's absolutely true! I heard the murderer was a True Lord from the Yang Realm. He not only beheaded Nangong Tian in public, but also severed the Dharma Body arm of the Grand Elder of the Dharma Hall who reached out to save people!"

"No wonder the entire elite force of the Nangong Family was mobilized today. Even the Second Master Nangong has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, personally came in his war chariot to oversee the operation. They're determined to tear that brat from the Yang Realm to pieces!"

The surrounding area buzzed with discussion, and everyone held their breath, staring at the thousand-foot-wide void that had just been cleaved open above the square.

The purple-gold blood rain continued to fall, crashing onto the white jade slab and sending up plumes of white smoke.

On the bronze chariot pulled by the nine-headed underworld beast, Second Master Nangong's toes were stepping on shattered teacup porcelain shards, his entire face contorted to the extreme.

He saw it clearly.

The blood-soaked figure in the white-robed youth's right hand was wearing the Purple Gold Daoist Robe of the head of the Heavenly Gate Law Hall. His left shoulder was broken off at the root, and two thick black iron hooks were stuck in his collarbone.

That was none other than his own elder brother, the Grand Elder of the Dharma Hall, Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan who had been renowned Central Domain for tens of thousands of years!

"Brother?!"

Second Master Nangong let out a strange, distorted cry.

Three days ago, my elder brother sent a message saying that he had invited the Black Mountain Ancestor and the Rakshasa Ancestor from the Outer Domain to set up the Nine-Bend Immortal-Severing Grand Formation in the interdimensional passage, in order to grind the murderer who killed Tian'er to dust.

Why is it that we haven't seen the great formation or the two helpers, but instead, our dignified elder brother, Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, is being held by someone with his collarbone pierced?!

"Second... Second brother... save me..."

Hearing the sound, Grand Elder Nangong in mid-air by Chen Changqing, struggled to lift his blood-stained face and open his swollen eyelids a crack.

Seeing the three thousand Nangong Iron Guards ready to go below, and the dozen or so Tribulation Immortal Elders from the major clans of the Central Domain around him, Grand Elder Nangong's withered chest heaved violently, and a wheezing sound like a broken bellows came from his throat.

"Kill him! Activate the City-Protecting Formation and kill him! That little beast broke through to the Heavenly Monarch realm in the passage! Black Mountain is dead, Rakshasa escaped! Move now!!"

Boom!

These few piercing cries echoed throughout the entire arena, causing complete chaos in the entire Guiding Divine City.

The spies from various ethnic groups on the roof of the teahouse nearly popped their eyes out.

One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, Black Mountain Ancestor, died? Has the Rakshasa Ancestor escaped?

Grand Elder Nangong had survived three life-or-death Heavenly Tribulations, was captured alive?!

What kind of monster is this kid from the Yang Realm?!

"You bastard! Let go of my elder brother!"

The Second Master Nangong's aura as Two-Tribulation Ghost Immortal erupted suddenly. The bronze chariot beneath his feet could not withstand such violent pressure, and its wheels shattered on the spot. The nine-headed Nether Beast let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground.

"Form the formation! Everyone, heed my command: Form the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Immortals Formation!"

Splash--!

Three thousand Nangong Iron Guards on both sides of the square simultaneously raised their black and gold halberds, and three thousand extremely condensed Netherworld Sha Qi soared into the sky, connecting with the eight hundred Immortal-Annihilating Ballista above the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the patriarchs of the dozen or so major clans from the Central Domain who had been invited to witness the ceremony also flew up from their seats, summoning their respective Immortal Artifact Law Treasures, completely surrounding Chen Changqing in mid-air.

Five Tribulation Immortals, plus three thousand well-trained elite guards!

The immense pressure of the Principle churned the clouds above the Guiding Divine City into a giant funnel, completely freezing even space itself.

"Boy, no matter what underhanded tricks you used to plot against my elder brother, once you're in this Guiding Divine City, you won't be able to escape!"

Second Master Nangong held a large, Ghost Head Broadsword in his hand, the tip of which was pointed directly at Chen Changqing's nose, his cheeks clenched so tightly they were making a grinding sound.

"Kneel down immediately and release the Grand Elder, cripple all your cultivation, and I might even spare your corpse!"

Chen Changqing hovered in mid-air, his white robe fluttering wildly in the raging, Sha Qi wind.

He glanced down at the densely packed formation below, then looked around at the five Tribulation Immortals who were eyeing him menacingly.

My Divine Sense, spanning ten thousand miles, had already thoroughly investigated the defenses of the entire Guiding Divine City.

Besides the group of people on the surface, two more obscure and ancient auras lurk deep beneath the divine city, indicating that they are at least old monsters at the Three Tribulations or higher.

A head-on clash?

Having just broken through to the Early Heavenly Monarch Stage, even if he summoned all five Avatars, he would still be caught in an endless war of attrition against so Tribulation Immortals and the City-Protecting Formation.

Chen Changqing brandished the Grand Elder Nangong he was carrying in his right hand, flashing a set of white teeth at the Second Master Nangong below.

"What are you yelling about? Your grandpa's here."

Chen Changqing's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out the shouts of the three thousand Iron Guards in the entire arena.

"I heard that your Nangong Family has set up a grand display here, waiting to collect my corpse. I, Chen, have always valued reciprocity; it would be quite inappropriate for me to come empty-handed."

"Your Nangong Family would better accept this generous gift with utmost care!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's outrageous and unrestrained words, Second Master Nangong was so enraged that his hair ornament exploded on the spot.

"You're asking for death! Fire a volley of arrows at me, turning everyone, soul and all, into sieves! My brother has Movement Method; he won't die!"

At the command of Second Master Nangong, the eight hundred Immortal-Annihilating Ballista on the city wall simultaneously lit up with a blinding dark light, and the bowl-sized magic-breaking crossbow bolts were aimed at the sky.

However, Chen Changqing had no intention of engaging them in a positional war.

He formed a sword shape with his left hand, and a rich, Pure Yang Golden Light emanated from his fingertips. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was on the crossbow, he struck seven times in a flash, all of them hitting the Sea of Consciousness points in Grand Elder Nangong's abdomen Dantian, and brow!

The violent energy of the "Violence Formula" within his body flowed from his fingertips and forcefully poured into Grand Elder Nangong's Purple Mansion, which was sealed by the Chaotic Immortal-Locking Chain.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changqing moved his Divine Sense and directly pulled back the Chaotic Immortal-Locking Chain that was piercing Grand Elder Nangong's collarbone!

"Ughhh--!"

The Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal's essence, which had been tightly suppressed by the Immortal-Locking Chains, was instantly thrown into chaos by the violent stimulation of the "Violence Formula" upon being freed from its restraints, causing it to go berserk within Grand Elder Nangong's body!

The vast immortal essence accumulated by the Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal over tens of thousands of years surged through his meridians and Purple Mansion, causing Grand Elder Nangong's gaunt body to swell into a massive fleshy ball with a diameter of three zhang within half a breath!

Thousands of bloody cracks appeared on his skin, and blinding purple-gold destructive Thunder Light burst out from them, turning him into an ancient lightning ball that could explode at any moment!

"No!! What did you do inside me?!"

Grand Elder Nangong was terrified as he felt the completely out-of-control immortal Principle within his body collapsing and merging wildly; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He desperately tried to use his Divine Sense to suppress the rampaging immortal energy, but his Sea of Consciousness had already been shattered by Chen Changqing's Twelve Primordial Spirits and was completely unresponsive.

This is not a typical case of Qi Deviation.

This little beast actually used Secret Method to forcibly ignite his Three-Tribulation Dao Fruit, intending to use him as a human-shaped self-destructing pill and throw him into the crowd of the Nangong Family!

"Second brother! Run! Scatter! I'm about to explode!!"

Grand Elder Nangong let out a heart-wrenching scream, his voice filled with endless despair and fear.

When Second Master Nangong, who was about to charge forward with his sword, heard this shout and saw his elder brother's terrifying appearance—his body radiating purple-gold Thunder Light and his belly swollen like a drum—his head buzzed and the hairs on his body stood on end!

Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal self-destructs?!

If a top expert who has survived three life-or-death Heavenly Tribulations were to detonate his entire life's cultivation and Dao Fruit in an instant, the power would be enough to wipe half of the Guiding Divine City off the map of the Nine Netherworlds!

"Stop! Stop now! Activate the defensive array! Everyone retreat!!"

Second Master Nangong's face turned deathly pale. He no longer cared about revenge. He roared wildly and turned to flee to the rear of the chariot.

The dozen or so Tribulation Immortals from various races in the Central Domain who had originally come to cheer them on were terrified, cursing and running away as if they wished their parents had two more legs.

"Nangong Lao Er, you son of a bitch, you've screwed me over!"

"Run! Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal is self-destructing! Anyone even close to it will be severely injured!"

The once imposing and impenetrable encirclement instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

High above, Chen Changqing looked down at the chaotic scene below and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Trying to run now? Too late!"

Chen Changqing raised his right foot, gathering the Quasi-Immortal Artifact -level physical power of the Sixth Turn of the "Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art" into his sole, and kicked down hard on Grand Elder Nangong's buttocks, which had swelled into a giant ball!

Bang!!

With a muffled thud, Grand Elder Nangong's massive body transformed into a destructive meteor trailing a long, purple-gold tail of flame, hurtling straight down at a terrifying speed exceeding a hundred times the speed of sound towards the core position where Second Master Nangong and the three thousand Nangong Iron Guards were most densely packed!

"Here you go, your ancestors!"

As he kicked Grand Elder Nangong, Chen Changqing didn't stop for a moment. He stepped on the "Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step" and transformed into a blur in the air, instantly rushing to the top of the interdimensional teleportation array a hundred feet away.

There was a one-way, ultra-long-distance teleportation array connecting the major prefectures in the heart of the Central Domain. To prevent Chen Changqing from escaping, the array's core was being guarded by four Late Heavenly Monarch Stage elders.

"Stop him! Don't let him into the teleportation array!"

The four elders in charge of formations had just raised the Formation Flags in their hands.

Chen Changqing didn't even glance at them. With a flick of his left hand, a massive golden seal, ten thousand feet tall, materialized out of thin air.

The Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal!

Boom!

The golden seal, carrying the Humanity’s Destiny of the Nine Provinces, crashed down. The four Late Heavenly Monarch Stage, the elders in charge of arrays, didn't even utter a sound. They were smashed into four piles of flesh along with the Formation Flags in their hands, deeply embedded in the white jade floor!

Chen Changqing stepped into the core of the teleportation array, casually grabbed a handful of top-grade Ghost Coins and stuffed them into the array slot, while simultaneously taking out Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk and slapping it onto the array's eye.

Buzz!

A dense beam of white light instantly engulfed his figure.

And in the very center of the plaza, a hundred feet away at his feet.

Grand Elder Nangong, who had been kicked into the crowd of three thousand Iron Guards, finally reached the limit of his bloated body.

In his final moments, looking at his younger brother, Second Master Nangong, who was standing close by and pale with fright, two streams of tears, filled with regret and sorrow, flowed from his eyes.

"Boom--!"

A purple-gold mushroom cloud, a hundred times more dazzling than the blazing sun, exploded in the very center of the White Jade Plaza in the Guiding Divine City!
