Too Strong

More than a month has passed in total.

In Chen Changqing's view, by the time he gets back to the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, the day of the Seven Peaks Grand Competition will probably be fast approaching.

"Um?"

Just then, Chen Changqing suddenly frowned, then stopped in his tracks, suspended in mid-air.

Just now, he sensed a powerful and complex aura rushing rapidly toward where he was.

"I've only just left the ancestral land of the Xuanyuan family, and someone's already getting impatient?"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself, then a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

For most people, being suddenly locked onto by so many powerful auras would probably have already thrown them into a state of panic.

But Chen Changqing is different.

Instead of panicking, he became excited.

"It wasn't easy to kill them in the Battle Realm before!"

"Now that you're eyeing the Immortal Artifact I possess, you're simply courting death."

Thinking it over, Chen Changqing didn't move any further and waited where he was.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Before long, a series of whooshing sounds echoed through the air.

Then, one could see many Cultivators flying in from all directions.

These Cultivators varied in their cultivation levels.

The highest level was an old man dressed in plain robes, who had reached the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm. The lowest level was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Chen Changqing glanced at them indifferently and found that many of these Cultivators were people he had encountered in the Battle Realm before.

Before Chen Changqing could speak, the elderly man in plain robes at the head of the group spoke coldly:

Chen Changqing.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over those three Immortal Artifacts you possess."

"I can promise you that as long as you obediently hand over the Immortal Artifact, you can leave safely."

"How?"

Hearing this, Chen Changqing gave a cold laugh and said:

"If you want Immortal Artifact, we'll see if you have the ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changqing waved his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand—the immortal artifact, the Immortal Artifact Heavenly Thunder Sword.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, the old man in the plain robe frowned, realizing that Chen Changqing was powerful.

Although he only had the cultivation level of the Late Spirit Transformation, he was able to defeat even Mid Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator like Xuanyuan Long in the Battle Realm!

After a moment's thought, the old man spoke in a cold voice:

"Everyone!"

"This kid is quite strong. Only if we all attack together will we have a chance to win!"

"Once we obtain the treasure on him, we'll split it equally."

As soon as the old man spoke, the many Cultivators surrounding Chen Changqing unleashed their auras, their killing intent palpable.

Chen Changqing remained calm in the face of this.

In his eyes, these people were all living, breathing AFK Points!

"Kill!"

After a brief silence, the old man in the plain robe roared angrily.

Immediately afterwards, the many Cultivators surrounding Chen Changqing unleashed their respective Law Artifacts, their Technique Method and Divine Ability dazzling, surging towards Chen Changqing.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing remained indifferent. He suddenly moved the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand, the blade slanting upwards from below. It seemed slow but was actually as fast as thunder. The sword's Sword Momentum was like the rising sun breaking through the sea of clouds.

"Ten Forms of Sword Annihilation, First Form!"

"Sword Qi Vast and Boundless!"

With a single strike, a terrifying Sword Intent instantly enveloped the entire area.

The Sword Qi swept across, instantly turning all the various Technique Method and Divine Ability that had swept towards Chen Changqing into dust.

The overwhelming sword force, its residual power undiminished, directly annihilated the large group of Cultivators who had charged forward first!

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Next, Chen Changqing continued to unleash the Ten Forms of Sword Annihilation swings.

"Sword Falls to the Nine Netherworlds!"

"The Sword Dividing Yin and Yang!"

"..."

"Sword Burning the Eight Desolations!"

With each attack, many Cultivators perished under Chen Changqing's sword, their limbs and bodies falling, blood mist rising, staining the sky a vast expanse of crimson!

At first, many Cultivators were full of confidence.

Thinking that although Chen Changqing was powerful, he was, after all, only one person.

But as they continued to fight, they realized that Chen Changqing's strength was not just formidable, it was terrifying!

The battle had only raged for a short while when most of the Cultivators perished under Chen Changqing's sword.

Upon seeing this, the elder who was at the forefront of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence was even more terrified.

"Is this boy truly a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land?"

"Such ruthlessness... I feel like he's more like a member of the Demon Sect?"

After a moment of distraction, the old man quickly regained his senses and realized that it was probably unrealistic to kill Chen Changqing and steal his treasure today!

After all, Chen Changqing hadn't yet unleashed many of his terrifying abilities.

Meanwhile, most of the Cultivators on their side had already been killed or wounded.

If we continue to fight him here, we will only die.

With this thought in mind, the old man dared not linger any longer. He turned around abruptly and prepared to flee!

"Trying to escape?"

"None of you will leave here alive today!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing's expression turned cold, and then he noticed that a spatial artifact refining process suddenly began from his left and right.

Upon closer inspection, his two clones had already rushed out, one wielding the Haotian Hammer and the other brandishing the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear!

"Boom boom..."

"Bang bang!"

The ensuing battle was completely one-sided.

Before long, the original large group of hundreds of Cultivators were all killed by Chen Changqing and his two clones!

[Bite!]

[Detected that the master has killed Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator!]

[Reward received: AFK Points +.]

[Bite!]

[Detected that the master has killed a Late Spirit Transformation Cultivator!]

[Reward received: AFK Points +.]

[Bite!]

[...]

The system notifications kept ringing in Chen Changqing's mind.

Hearing the system notification, he smiled with satisfaction, glanced down at the corpses scattered across the open ground below, and spoke in a cold voice:

"You guys chose to come and give me AFK Points!"

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourselves for being too greedy!"

Having said that, Chen Changqing didn't linger. With a thought, he put away his two clones and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

Shortly after Chen Changqing left, several figures flew over.

The leader was a powerful middle-aged man in the Late Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

The people following behind him were also beings Tribulation Transcendence.

The middle-aged man was named Xuanyuan Kai, an elder of the Xuanyuan Family.

Earlier, Xuanyuan Tian, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, gave orders to lead men to escort Chen Changqing for a distance.

By the time Xuanyuan Kai and his men set off, Chen Changqing had already left the ancestral land of the Xuanyuan family.

"Ah?"

"This..."

What just happened here?

So many corpses?

"Could it be... that Chen Changqing did it all by himself?"

Upon seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground, the members of the Xuanyuan Family exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Shocked, the group turned their gazes and looked directly at Xuanyuan Kai.

Before they could speak, Xuanyuan Kai took a deep breath and said calmly:

Let's go!

"Let's go back."
