The AFK Feast of Three Hundred True Lords
The second sword strike.
The Spirit Slaying has reappeared.
The two Cultivators who were flying backward side by side were simultaneously engulfed by the Sword-Ray.
[Ding! Two Early True Lord Stage Cultivators defeated, gaining 5600 AFK Points.]
The third sword strike.
The second move of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique: Immortal Slaughter.
The Sword-Ray transformed into a ten-zhang-long dark golden python, plunging headfirst into the dense crowd.
Screams echoed throughout the room.
[Ding! Killed a Middle True Lord Stage Cultivator, gained 4200 AFK Points.]
[Ding! Killed an Early True Lord Stage Cultivator, gained 3100 AFK Points.]
[Ding! Killed...]
The system notifications were as dense as a hailstorm, popping up one after another in my Sea of Consciousness.
Chen Changqing's lips curled up slightly.
This feeling...
That was awesome!
Below the Heavenly Monarch, these True Lord Cultivators are like wheat in a field before him. His six figures are like six sickles, each swing reaping a harvest.
Within ten breaths, twenty-seven True Lords perished.
Twenty breaths, fifty-threeth place.
Thirty breaths--
"Enough! Stop!"
Finally, someone in the crowd broke down.
An old Cultivator, his face covered in blood, knelt in the void, trembling all over.
"I don't want the Chaotic Origin Energy anymore! Let me go! Please let me go!"
Chen Changqing ignored him.
The third move of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique: God Burial.
The dark golden Sword-Ray exploded in the void, transforming into a rain of Heavenly Sword.
The old Cultivator who knelt and begged for mercy, along with his seven or eight companions behind him, were engulfed by the rain of swords.
[Ding! Killed a Cultivator in the Early Tribulation Transcendence, gained AFK Points.]
Chen Changqing's pupils contracted slightly.
Tribulation Transcendence Realm?
He glanced back. The old Cultivator he had killed with a single sword strike was actually a powerful Early Tribulation Transcendence expert who had concealed his cultivation level.
No wonder they were able to blend into the crowd unnoticed.
With 30,000 AFK Points credited to his account, Chen Changqing's smile widened even further.
"Anyone else hiding their cultivation level?" he asked loudly, his voice echoing across the sea. "Hidden strength is pointless, let's all come at once."
Silence reigned all around.
All the surviving Cultivators stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the young man in the blue robe before them.
Before they came, they had imagined countless scenarios.
With over three hundred True Lord besieging a young man in the Middle True Lord Stage, even with Heavenly Monarch protecting him from Mount Shu, their sheer numbers meant they were bound to manage to snatch a sliver of Chaotic Origin Energy.
But what's the reality?
In less than forty breaths, more than eighty True Lord and one Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert died.
He died at the hands of a young man who was not even twenty years old.
The six figures moved freely through the crowd, as if they were in an empty place.
They finally understood firsthand the Champion value of winning the Heavenly Void Grand Tournament on the Battle Platform.
"This... this is really the Mount Shu Holy Son?"
A Cultivator covered in blood spoke in a trembling voice.
"When did Mount Shu produce such a killing god? His methods of slaughter are ten times more ruthless than those of the Devil Cultivators of the Demon Sect!"
"Run! Run!"
The remaining two hundred or so Cultivators finally collapsed completely and scattered in all directions.
However, at this moment--
The dozen or so figures that had been hiding in the shadows in the distance finally couldn't sit still any longer.
A terrifying pressure far exceeding that of the True Lord Realm descended from the sky, causing cracks to appear in the void of the entire Netherworld Trench.
The Heavenly Monarch has made his move.
The first pressure, at the level of Heavenly Monarch, came from due east.
A middle-aged man clad in Xuan Se armor tore through the void and emerged, wielding a jet-black longsword and exuding a dense aura of killing intent.
"The Great Chu Dynasty, Dark Shadow Guard Commander— Sky-Splitting Spear." Bai Wuya narrowed his eyes, his silver spear held horizontally in front of him. "I thought you only dared to hide in the back and watch the show."
Sky-Splitting Spear remained expressionless, his gaze passing over Bai Wuya and landing on Chen Changqing.
"Having killed Crown Prince Chu Tian of Great Chu Crown Prince and seized the Blood Prison Mad Blade, we'll settle this score today."
A second wave of oppressive force followed closely behind, pressing down from the northwest.
A Green-Robed Elder in a green robe arrived, his long beard flowing, carrying a black iron staff. At the top of the staff was a scarlet jewel, emitting an eerie light.
"The Heavenly Demon Sect?" Daoist Chen Yuan's expression darkened.
"I am Guiyuan, a guardian elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect." The old Green-Robed Elder chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Fellow Chen Yuan, don't be nervous. I'm just here to watch the show. Of course—if there's any profit to be made, I don't mind lending a hand."
The third. The fourth. The fifth.
One after another, the auras of Heavenly Monarch surfaced, like sharks smelling blood.
There were a total of seven Heavenly Monarch.
They belong to the Great Chu Dynasty, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, the Ji Clan, and three unnamed independent Rogue Cultivator factions.
They had been hiding further away, waiting for these True Lords to be used as cannon fodder to wear down Chen Changqing's stamina.
Unexpectedly, instead of being worn down, they were instead thoroughly slaughtered by Chen Changqing.
But this only strengthened their resolve to take action.
Who would believe that a young man capable of slaughtering over eighty True Lord within forty breaths could exist without the support of Chaotic Origin Energy?
"Bai Wuya." Sky-Splitting Spear stepped forward, sword in hand, coldly staring at the White-Clad Spear King of Mount Shu. "You, a Heavenly Monarch, can't protect him."
Bai Wuya grinned.
Why don't you try and see?
The silver spear, like a dragon, thrust out in a single strike.
The spear's edge and the Sky-Splitting Spear blade energy collided head-on in the void, unleashing a deafening roar.
The clash between the two Heavenly Monarch shattered the void within a hundred feet around them, and the fragments of space scattered like a mirror.
At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Sect swung its Guiyuan Iron Staff, and a dark red Devil Qi transformed into a giant Ghost Claw, grabbing towards Chen Changqing.
With a flick of his whisk, Daoist Chen Yuan Whisk a burst of clear light that blocked the attack.
"Guiyuan, do you take me for a decoration?" Daoist Chen Yuan's voice was icy.
"Chen Yuan, I'm not your only opponent." Guiyuan chuckled.
Before the words were even finished, one of the Heavenly Monarch from the Beast Taming Sect also made a move.
A Three-Eyed Fire Python, its body entirely crimson, emerged from the void. Its body was as thick as a water vat, and its tongue hissed as it lunged toward the Mount Shu Warship.
Daoist Chen Yuan had to divert half of his strength to protect the ship, leaving him struggling to cope with Guiyuan's attacks.
The remaining four Heavenly Monarch all set their sights on Chen Changqing.
"Take him down!"
Four attacks at the Heavenly Monarch level simultaneously struck.
Chen Changqing's five Avatars rushed forward together.
The first Avatar wielded the Heavenly Monarch Heavenly Thunder Sword to block a palm strike from a Rogue Cultivator, the sword crackling with lightning as it barely withstood the attack.
The second Avatar swung its hammer at the Heavenly Monarch of the Ji Clan. The Haotian Hammer collided with the opponent's protective Law Treasure, producing a piercing metallic clang.
The third Avatar used a spear to block the attack of the third Heavenly Monarch. The recoil force transmitted between the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear and the person caused fine cracks to appear on the Avatar's arm.
The fourth Avatar played the zither to interfere with the divine soul of the fourth Heavenly Monarch, but the divine soul of Cultivator at the Heavenly Monarch Realm is far more solid than that of a True Lord. The Immortal-Burying Melody Immortals could only slow down the opponent's attack rhythm and could not truly cause damage.
The fifth Avatar barely managed to maintain the stability of the surrounding space using the Three Extremes Origin Seal.
The combined pressure from the four Heavenly Monarch is far beyond what True Lord can match.
Each attack was more than ten times the power of True Lord Limit, with overwhelming strength in terms of True Essence, Principle Comprehension, and Divine Soul.
Chen Changqing activated the Immortal Execution Sword at full power, unleashing Invincible Sword Domain around himself, blocking the attacks of the four Heavenly Monarch.
However, the Sword Domain continued to endure terrifying impacts, and the dark golden light shield flickered incessantly, revealing countless cracks.
"It won't last long," Chen Changqing quickly calculated in his mind.
