Encountering the First Branch! A Bizarre Formation?

The previous fight between Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Ao caused quite a stir.

Upon sensing the Xuanyuan Lü led his men to the source of the disturbance.

"Um?"

It's him!

Upon arriving at the scene, Xuanyuan Lü was taken aback and stared intently at Chen Changqing.

"How could it be this kid?"

"Was he the one who was fighting just now?"

Why is he the only one there?

"The fluctuations from that previous exchange clearly indicated the involvement of Tribulation Transcendence being."

"Could it be... that Chen Changqing won?"

"..."

While Xuanyuan Lü was in a daze, his entourage behind him began to whisper among themselves.

They never expected that the first person they would see upon arriving at the scene of the battle would be Chen Changqing.

Upon hearing his subordinates' discussion, Xuanyuan Lü's expression immediately turned serious.

He looked around, and his heart tightened involuntarily.

But this vast area looked as if it had just experienced an apocalypse.

What's going on?

After a brief glance, Xuanyuan Lü was secretly surprised and a sense of unease arose deep in his heart.

After all, there are people from all nine lineages participating in the Xuanyuan Family Annual Competition this time.

Among them, Xuanyuan Long of the First Branch and Xuanyuan Ao of the Seventh Branch were both at the Bandit Cultivator stage.

The commotion from the previous exchange was clearly a battle between Cultivator undergoing Tribulation Transcendence.

Currently, only Chen Changqing is present at the site of the battle, which immediately made Xuanyuan Lü think that the Tribulation Transcendence being who was fighting Chen Changqing had most likely already been eliminated.

Thinking of all this, Xuanyuan Lü's heart skipped a beat.

While he was still in a daze, Chen Changqing calmly glanced at Xuanyuan Lü and the others, muttering to himself:

"Oh?"

"The people from the First Branch arrived quickly."

Chen Changqing also had some impression of Xuanyuan Lü. When they were outside, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu had introduced him to the prodigies of each lineage.

After a moment's thought, he looked directly at Xuanyuan Lü and said calmly:

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"If not, I'm going to take action!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changqing tightened his grip on the Haotian Hammer.

"Boom!"

His aura suddenly surged, and a terrifying aura permeated the air, clearly indicating that Xuanyuan Lü and the others were enveloped within it.

"Ah?"

"Is that hammer in his hand... Immortal Artifact?"

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Is this child truly only at the Spirit Transformation stage?"

"..."

Before anyone had noticed, Chen Changqing unleashed his power, triggering the Haotian Hammer. The terrifying aura immediately shocked everyone.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Lü's face turned extremely grim, and his heart began to beat faster.

"This kid actually has... Immortal Artifact!"

"So, he relied on this Immortal Artifact to win before?"

"I wonder, was the person he eliminated Xuanyuan Ao or Xuanyuan Long?"

After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan Lü quickly regained his composure and said, feigning calmness:

"Brother Changqing, hold your hand!"

"May I ask, with whom were you fighting just now?"

When asked by Xuanyuan Lü Firm, Chen Changqing didn't hide anything and said calmly:

"Xuanyuan Ao of the Seventh Branch."

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Xuanyuan Lü was shocked.

"It's actually Xuanyuan Ao!"

"Judging from this, I'm afraid Xuanyuan Ao has already been eliminated by him."

Just now, Xuanyuan Lü was worried, fearing that the one who would fight Chen Changqing was Xuanyuan Long from their First Branch.

Who would have thought it was Xuanyuan Ao from the Seventh Branch?

After secretly letting out a sigh of relief, Xuanyuan Ao's mind immediately tensed up again.

After all, Xuanyuan Ao was a renowned prodigy of the Xuanyuan Family, and his cultivation had reached the Tribulation Transcendence.

Even so, he still lost to Chen Changqing.

Now that they've encountered Chen Changqing, isn't that like lambs to the slaughter?

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lü's breathing became rapid, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

But he quickly calmed down.

"It's alright!"

"Even if this kid possesses Immortal Artifact, his cultivation level is ultimately only at the Spirit Transformation."

"With so many of us attacking together, he might not be able to withstand it."

"Moreover, he must have suffered considerable losses to eliminate Xuanyuan Ao here, and he certainly hasn't recovered yet."

"Even if I were eliminated by him, the First Branch still has Xuanyuan Long."

In an instant, Xuanyuan Lü's mind raced.

After thinking about it, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

Chen Changqing.

"It's truly unexpected that you were able to eliminate Xuanyuan Ao."

"However, in this grand competition, you are destined to lose to my First Branch."

Xuanyuan Lü said calmly.

In his view, Chen Changqing might be very strong, even capable of defeating Xuanyuan Ao.

However, compared to Xuanyuan Long, the number one among the younger generation of the Xuanyuan Family, he is undoubtedly far inferior.

After hearing what Xuanyuan Lü said, Chen Changqing remained calm, naturally knowing that the person Xuanyuan Lü was referring to was Xuanyuan Long.

He paused for a moment, then gave a cold laugh:

Are all members of your Xuanyuan Clan so blind and arbitrary?

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"Take this!"

Before the words had even finished, Chen Changqing, without waiting for Xuanyuan Lü's reply, unleashed a burst of intense light from the Haotian Hammer he held in his hand!

When they looked again, the man had already swung the Haotian Hammer violently.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a terrifying hammer force swept out, sweeping towards Xuanyuan Lü and the others.

"Um?"

Sensing the terrifying force of Chen Changqing's hammer strike, Xuanyuan Lü and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but exclaim in shock:

"Set up the formation!"

With a command from Xuanyuan Lü, the dozen or so Cultivator behind him snapped out of their shock and immediately began to form hand Method Formula.

"Boom boom..."

In a short while, the entire vast area began to tremble uncontrollably.

Then, suddenly, bronze-colored pillars of light rose up from the ground around Chen Changqing.

Ancient legal patterns flowed and moved along the pillar, as if it had come to life.

"Bang!"

Before Chen Changqing's hammer could even reach Xuanyuan Lü and the others, it exploded as it was met by the undulating stripes.

The tremors subsided shortly afterward.

At this moment, the formation enveloping Chen Changqing had become even more solid.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Lü and the others had changed positions at some point, each taking up a different position in the formation.

"Oh?"

"What kind of formation is this?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, finding the formation used by Xuanyuan Lü and the others quite ingenious.

"Boom!"

Before Chen Changqing could think further, the numerous runes that had detached from the pillars, intertwined and condensed, actually formed Law Chains.

At first glance, those Law Chains seemed to be interwoven into a vast, inescapable net.

Besides this, what surprised Chen Changqing even more was...

At this moment, this entire Heavenly Dao seemed to be filled with a power of confinement and judgment, firmly locking him in place.
