Taking Things Too Far? Eliminated with One Finger!
Many members of the Xuanyuan Clan discussed the matter in shock, their voices filled with resentment.
After all, those who entered the Battle Realm this time were all geniuses of the Xuanyuan Clan, yet they were easily defeated by Chen Changqing.
They were naturally unwilling to admit that Chen Changqing was more talented, so they attributed it all to Chen Changqing possessing Immortal Artifact.
Little did they know that while Immortal Artifacts are indeed powerful, controlling Immortal Artifact requires immense strength.
If Chen Changqing hadn't opened up the Nine Provinces Purple Mansion within his body, and all the Nascent Soul had transformed into Primordial Spirits, his power would have been equivalent to that of nine Late Spirit Transformation.
It's not an easy thing to activate Immortal Artifact so casually.
At this moment, beneath the Dragon Pillar of the Ninth Branch, Xuanyuan Yun and her daughter Xuanyuan Xiaoyu both looked completely bewildered.
His dazed expression clearly showed that he hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Chen Changqing eliminating all three factions with a single blow.
"Xiaoyu."
"Changqing... is he really only at the Late Spirit Transformation stage?"
Shocked, Xuanyuan Yun looked at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and subconsciously asked.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu was taken aback, her lips parted slightly, but she didn't know how to answer.
Chen Changqing's cultivation level was indeed only at the Late Spirit Transformation.
However, the power he displayed far exceeded the level of the Spirit Transformation stage.
After all, in total, five out of the nine branches of the Xuanyuan Clan were eliminated by him.
Moreover, judging from Chen Changqing's appearance, he didn't use his full strength at all.
After a long silence, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu finally replied:
"Mother."
"Changqing's cultivation level is... Late Spirit Transformation."
Upon hearing what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said, Xuanyuan Yun frowned, a thought rising in her mind:
How is that possible?
"How can someone with the Late Spirit Transformation stage so easily activate Immortal Artifact?"
As he thought about it, Xuanyuan Yun felt that Chen Changqing was even more mysterious and unpredictable.
At this moment, in the void of the Ancestral Dragon Platform, Xuanyuan Tian, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, saw Chen Changqing eliminate three lineages with a single hammer blow, and his expression darkened slightly.
"This kid is actually that strong?"
Xuanyuan Tian was secretly amazed.
Previously, Xuanyuan Jin from the Fifth Branch and the Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Ge brothers from the Second Branch were eliminated by Chen Changqing.
Xuanyuan Tian thought Chen Changqing was just relying on the powerful Immortal Artifact in his hand.
But now, Xuanyuan Tian has seen through it.
The Immortal Artifact in Chen Changqing's hands is not only powerful, but its own strength should not be underestimated.
"Mount Shu has indeed produced an extraordinary prodigy!"
After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan Tian couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"I wonder, between him and Ao'er and Long'er, who is better?"
Xuanyuan Tian thought of Xuanyuan Ao and Xuanyuan Long.
Previously, he thought Chen Changqing performed exceptionally well in the Battle Realm, but that was before he encountered Xuanyuan Ao and Xuanyuan Long.
If Chen Changqing were to encounter these two, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
After all, both Xuanyuan Ao and Xuanyuan Long were beings who Tribulation Transcendence; defeating a Nascent Spirit Transformation would be a piece of cake for them.
But now, Xuanyuan Tian's heart began to waver.
"Ao'er is hard to say."
"But no matter how powerful Chen Changqing is, he could never be a match for Long'er."
After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan Tian's gaze hardened again, and he turned his attention to the light screen.
Meanwhile, within the Battle Realm...
After dealing with the three factions, Chen Changqing did not linger at that lake, but leisurely chose a direction and walked out.
"It seems like Xuanyuan Long hasn't done anything since entering the Battle Realm!"
"This Annual Competition of the Xuanyuan Clan only has members from nine lineages. I represent the Ninth Branch, which Xiaoyu belongs to, leaving only the remaining eight lineages."
"Now, I've eliminated all the people from the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth factions."
What are Xuanyuan Long and Xuanyuan Ao doing?
Chen Changqing muttered to himself.
After a brief calculation, he realized that in the current Battle Realm, only the First Branch, the Seventh Branch, the Eighth Branch, and the Ninth Branch that he represented still existed.
"That's enough!"
"At worst, I'll just put in more effort and eliminate them all."
Chen Changqing said quietly, then composed himself and continued walking out.
At this moment, in a Valley within the Battle Realm.
Xuanyuan Long stood tall, his entire body radiating an incredibly powerful aura.
A group of people stood in front of him.
The leader was a slightly thin man, none other than Xuanyuan Yin, the prodigy of the Eighth Branch of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Behind Xuanyuan Yin were the dozen or so External Aids he had recruited.
Amidst the standoff, Xuanyuan Long spoke in a cold voice:
"Admit defeat, or shall I make the move?"
"Giggle!"
Hearing Xuanyuan Long's words, Xuanyuan Yin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He only had the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage realm, and the strongest of the External Aids he had recruited was only the Late Spirit Transformation.
Xuanyuan Long, on the other hand, is a genuine being who has undergone Tribulation Transcendence.
"Xuanyuan Long, you... you're going too far!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Xuanyuan Yin said angrily.
"Oh!"
Xuanyuan Long gave a cold laugh and said:
"This is the Lineage's Annual Competition; how can you call this deception?"
"You should know that I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to repeat myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura emanating from Xuanyuan Long became even more intense. The mere pressure of his aura made Xuanyuan Yin and the others feel as if they were burdened by a heavy mountain.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yin trembled with anger, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Xuanyuan Long, I'll fight you to the death!"
With a roar, Xuanyuan Yin didn't hesitate. He casually summoned a Quasi-Immortal Artifact longsword and slashed fiercely at Xuanyuan Long.
"Boom!"
The long sword fell, its light flowing like a river, sweeping in all directions!
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Long remained indifferent, pointing his fingers like a sword and unleashing a surge of Spiritual Power.
"Bang!"
With a deafening explosion, Xuanyuan Yin's sword force instantly dissipated.
His left shoulder was pierced through by Xuanyuan Long's Spiritual Power, leaving a bloody hole. He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
Upon seeing this, all the External Aids recruited by Xuanyuan Yin were terrified and dared not make a move against Xuanyuan Long.
"Waste!"
Xuanyuan Long glanced coldly at the limp Xuanyuan Yin, then turned and left without looking back.
"Giggle..."
Watching Xuanyuan Long's departing figure, Xuanyuan Yin gritted his teeth in anger, yet he was helpless, for the difference in strength between him and Xuanyuan Long was simply too great.
Before long, Xuanyuan Yin and the others were teleported out of the Battle Realm.
Outside, on the Ancestral Dragon Platform, many members of the Xuanyuan Clan were astonished by what they saw.
"Young Master Long is really strong!"
"Spirit Transformation Cultivators are like ants in his hands."
"He eliminated the person from the Eighth Branch with just one finger!"
"This is truly terrifying!"
"Isn't Chen Changqing arrogant? Wait until he meets Young Master Long, then he'll know what the difference is!"
"Even if Young Master Long possesses Immortal Artifact, it's all in vain before him."
"..."
Many members of the Xuanyuan clan discussed the matter extensively, expressing great optimism about Xuanyuan Long.
After all, Xuanyuan Long is the number one among the younger generation of the entire Xuanyuan Family!
