Slaying a Heavenly Monarch Cultivator
The aftershocks of the four Heavenly Monarch -level attacks were still churning, and the seawater in the Netherworld Trench was shaken up into towering waves.
Chen Changqing's Invincible Sword Domain had already cracked in several places, and the dark golden light shield was teetering on the verge of collapse. The five Avatar had each entangled four Heavenly Monarch, but cracks of varying degrees had appeared on the arms, shoulders, and chests of the Avatar, with light spots constantly spilling out from the cracks.
"This kid won't last much longer!" Heavenly Monarch of the Ji Clan punched back the Clear Haotian Hammer Avatar, a sinister smile appearing on his lips. "Give it your all and shatter his Sword Domain!"
The three Heavenly Monarch Rogue Cultivator intensified their attack.
The Law Power surged in like a tidal wave, and the void was filled with shattered spatial fragments, like broken pieces of glass flying everywhere.
Chen Changqing's breathing became rapid.
His True Essence was being consumed extremely quickly. The five Avatar already consumed True Essence, and with the Invincible Sword Domain maintaining them, the True Essence reserves of the nine Purple Mansion within his body were decreasing at a visible rate.
How much True Essence is left?
He quickly estimated it in his mind.
30%.
That's enough.
Chen Changqing's gaze locked onto the Rogue Cultivator Heavenly Monarch was closest to him. This person wore a brown robe, held a bronze short halberd, and had a cultivation level at the Early Heavenly Monarch Stage. Among the seven Heavenly Monarch, he was the weakest.
This is also the best breakthrough point.
"Receive."
With a thought, Chen Changqing's five Avatar retreated simultaneously, returning to within ten feet of him.
The four Heavenly Monarch's attacks missed their mark, and they were all taken aback.
Just that brief moment of respite.
Chen Changqing made a move.
The five Avatar unleashed their full power at the same instant, not attacking separately, but launching a concentrated assault in the same direction—the location of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch.
The Heavenly Thunder Sword Avatar transformed into a thunderous Sword Qi, blocking the retreat route above.
The Haotian Hammer Avatar and smashed into the void on the left, shattering that space and blocking the left side.
The Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear Avatar, in its avatar form, unleashed Immortal-Extinguishing Three Spears from the right, completely sealing off the passage on the right.
The Immortal-Burying Zither Avatar into a plucking instrument, and an Immortal-Burying Melody shot straight into the soul of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch.
The Three Extremes Origin Seal Avatar with both hands, and the Three Seals mountain, water, and fire overlapped, freezing the void beneath the feet of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch.
Five attacks came simultaneously from five directions, completely blocking all of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch's escape routes.
"You--"
The brown-robed Heavenly Monarch's pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally understood.
Chen Changqing had previously used five Avatar to entangle four Heavenly Monarch, seemingly in a barely adequate defense. In reality, he was waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity when everyone lowers their guard.
"How dare you!" the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch roared, swinging his bronze halberd. The halberd's light transformed into a crescent-shaped arc of light, attempting to block all five attacks simultaneously.
He blocked four paths.
But the fifth seal— the Mountain Seal of the Three Extremes Origin Seal —had already frozen the void beneath his feet for half a breath.
Half a breath.
That's enough.
Chen Changqing stepped out with the Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step, his figure drawing a strange arc in the void, bypassing the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch's frontal defense, and appearing behind him.
The fourth move of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique.
Dao Reversal.
This is the strongest move Chen Changqing can currently unleash. The Sword Intent contains a crazy will to "defy fate," and every wisp of Sword-Ray roars to tear everything in front of it to shreds.
A dark golden Sword-Ray pierced through the back of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch.
The sword tip pierced through his chest.
The brown-robed Heavenly Monarch looked down at the bloodstained sword blade in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... a Middle True Lord Stage... how could you possibly..."
"You're too weak."
Chen Changqing spoke calmly, and with a flick of his wrist, he made a sound.
The Immortal Execution Sword writhed within the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch's body, its dark golden Sword Intent like a flood bursting its banks, simultaneously destroying his meridians, Dantian, and Primordial Spirit.
"Puff--"
The brown-robed Heavenly Monarch spat out a mouthful of blood, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
His body split in two, falling into the abyss of the Netherworld Trench.
[Ding! Killed a Cultivator in the Early Heavenly Monarch Stage, gained AFK Points.]
120,000 AFK Points.
Without pausing, Chen Changqing sheathed his sword, turned around, and glanced at the other six Heavenly Monarch.
The entire sea was deathly silent.
The sounds of waves, wind, and the aftershocks of battle—all sounds seemed to have been paused at that moment.
"He... killed a Heavenly Monarch?"
Heavenly Monarch of the Ji Clan's voice was somewhat dry.
Sky-Splitting Spear, the commander of the Great Chu Dark Shadow Guard, trembled slightly in the hand holding his sword. He had been locked in a fierce battle with Bai Wuya for dozens of moves, and at this moment, he suddenly turned around and saw the mangled body of the brown-robed Heavenly Monarch falling into the trench.
Guiyuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect froze on his face.
"With the body of True Lord... to slay Heavenly Monarch?" The Heavenly Monarch of the Beast Taming Sect murmured to himself, his voice filled with a hint of disbelief and fear.
Three hundred True Lord besieged him, and he killed more than eighty of them in forty breaths.
Four Heavenly Monarch joined forces to suppress him, but he retaliated by slaying one of them.
This level of combat ability has surpassed the category of "genius".
This is a monster.
A true prodigy.
"Gentlemen," Chen Changqing said slowly, holding the Immortal Execution Sword, its tip still dripping with the blood of the Heavenly Monarch, "Shall we continue?"
Silence.
A long silence.
Then, Heavenly Monarch of the Ji Clan's voice broke the silence. But what he said was not the retreat that Chen Changqing had expected.
"Gentlemen, quickly join forces to suppress this brat!"
Heavenly Monarch of the Ji Clan's voice was sharp and urgent, his eyes flashing with a manic light.
"This boy killed Heavenly Monarch while possessing the body of True Lord. If he were to reach the Heavenly Monarch Realm in the future, I fear no one in the Nine Provinces would be able to suppress him!"
These words were like a needle, piercing precisely into the heart of every Heavenly Monarch present.
Are they afraid of Chen Changqing?
We're not afraid now. Six Heavenly Monarch against one Middle True Lord Stage —it's a crushing defeat.
But what about later?
This young man, not yet twenty years old, can already kill Early Heavenly Monarch Stage while only at the Middle True Lord Stage. What will he be like when he breaks through to Heavenly Monarch, or even Tribulation Transcendence...?
At that time, would those who had harmed him still be alive?
"Kill!" Sky-Splitting Spear was the first to move, drawing his black blade, his Heavenly Monarch- level sword intent sweeping across the sky like a black tide.
"Kill him!" With a swing of his Guiyuan Iron Staff, dark red Devil Qi transformed into dozens of ghostly figures, rushing towards Chen Changqing from all directions.
The six Heavenly Monarch attacked simultaneously.
The attacks of the Six Heavenly Monarch Sovereigns converged into a devastating torrent, pouring down towards Chen Changqing's location. The void was torn apart like paper before this power, the seawater in the Netherworld Trench was shaken back, and everything within a radius of a thousand feet was collapsing.
"Changqing!"
Daoist Chen Yuan glared angrily and lashed out with his Whisk, a beam of light transforming into a hundred-zhang-long light screen, attempting to block Chen Changqing's path.
However, the light barrier shattered in the face of the combined attack of the six Heavenly Monarch after only a single breath.
Daoist Chen Yuan is at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
He's far inferior to the Heavenly Monarch!
"Bai Wuya!" Daoist Chen Yuan shouted sternly.
Bai Wuya held his silver spear horizontally, blocking Chen Changqing's path. The spear's light transformed into a silver barrier, directly withstanding the black blade of Sky-Splitting Spear and the Devil Qi of Guiyuan.
But the remaining four attacks,
No one can stop it.
Chen Changqing's five Avatar stood in front of him, unleashing a burst of dark golden light.
"Boom!"
The five Avatar shattered simultaneously.
The terrifying shockwave sent Chen Changqing flying hundreds of feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The Invincible Sword Domain completely collapsed under this attack, and dark golden fragments scattered in the void like fireflies.
