Chapter 165: Chapter 129: Descending from the Heavens! Peerless Might
[You descended from the sky, terrifying thousands of ambitious Celestial Sword Sect disciples and randomly killing a dozen unlucky ones in the process. You are filled with gratification. Retribution points +20,000!]
A line of text materialized.
Just as he’d thought.
The grander the spectacle, the more retribution points he earned.
On the way here, Chen Xuan had been considering what kind of entrance he should make.
In the end, he chose the most savage and tyrannical method: descending from the sky.
It was the exact same method he’d used to intimidate the crowd in the mystic realm.
Right now, his ink-black hair whipped about as golden flames blazed around his body.
The intense heat even scorched the ground beneath his feet, turning it crimson as if he were standing on molten lava.
His voice, cold and domineering, echoed across the entire plaza.
The plaza was filled with screams and wails; an untold number of disciples were grievously wounded, with broken arms and legs.
This was the terrifying power of a True Qi Realm expert!
The mere shockwave of True Qi from his descent was more than anyone at the Transforming Force or Gang Energy level could withstand, to say nothing of those who were only in the Dark Force Realm.
Besides the dozen or so people Chen Xuan had crushed to death...
...dozens, if not hundreds more, were severely injured.
Fierce winds howled as the entire Celestial Sword Sect descended into chaos.
The elders all looked on in sheer horror.
They couldn’t believe their eyes.
True Qi Eighth Layer!
Their sect’s grand array had been torn apart by sheer brute force before they could even fully activate it...
’What the fuck...’
...
「Outside the Celestial Sword Sect.」
Several dozen li away, Wang Qinglian’s face was a mask of shock. Shrouded in a layer of indigo True Qi, she was hurtling toward the Celestial Sword Sect at incredible speed.
Chen Xuan was too fast.
They had set out together.
They were even traveling side-by-side when they reached Celestial Essence Province.
But the moment Chen Xuan confirmed the Celestial Sword Sect’s location, his speed increased to an unimaginable degree.
In a flash, he had left her dozens of li behind.
’One is at the Eighth Layer of True Qi, the other at the Seventh. Is the gap between them really that massive?’
Wang Qinglian had no choice but to grit her teeth and use everything she had to charge forward wildly.
’I absolutely cannot let Chen Xuan leave me this far behind...’
’That guy... he’s too arrogant. Does he really plan to charge into the Celestial Sword Sect through the front gate?’
Wang Qinglian’s heart trembled.
’The Celestial Sword Sect is still protected by its Mountain Protection Array.’
’If they activate the array and trap him inside, even an expert at the True Qi Eighth Layer will have their energy rapidly depleted...’
’Besides, there’s also the Sect Master of the Celestial Sword Sect, Ling Wanjian.’
’If he were to launch a sneak attack, the consequences would be unthinkable.’
At this thought, she pushed herself to go even faster.
...
「Within the Celestial Sword Sect.」
Chen Xuan stood amidst the scorching flames, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. He frowned, and his indifferent voice rang out once more. "Did you not hear me? I am eradicating the Celestial Sword Sect today. Anyone not affiliated with them may leave."
’Not all of these disciples are necessarily evil-hearted.’
’He wouldn’t slaughter those who were fundamentally good people.’
’He wasn’t a demon, after all.’
"Still not leaving?"
Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed deeper. "I’ll count to ten. Anyone who remains will be considered an accomplice of the Celestial Sword Sect! You will all be killed!"
"You bastard!"
From atop the stairs, Ling Wanjian’s furious roar finally erupted. His aura was terrifying and his eyes were blood-red. Innumerable streams of Sword Qi burst forth from his body, causing the very space around him to blur.
He was about to go mad with rage!
’So what if he’s at the True Qi Eighth Layer?’
’Descending from the sky, what a magnificent display of power!’
’Does he really think he can annihilate my entire Celestial Sword Sect alone?’
’Does he really think being at the True Qi Eighth Layer makes him invincible?!’
"Elders, form the array at once! Take him down!"
Ling Wanjian’s furious roar echoed throughout the area.
The elders, who had been stunned moments before, finally snapped to their senses.
Grand Elder Lei Zhen let out a great roar, drew his longsword, and was the first to charge.
The other elders frantically charged after him.
"All Heaven Star Array!"
BOOM!
Brilliant blades of Sword Qi erupted from the dozen or so elders. Their swords blazed with dazzling light as the hissing Sword Qi whistled toward Chen Xuan from all directions.
This was the signature array of the Celestial Sword Sect!
All Heaven Star—as the name implied, each person channeled the power of a single star.
The more elders there were, the more powerful the array became.
With the combined might of over a dozen of their elders, they could trap and kill even an expert at the True Qi Ninth Layer!
Chen Xuan frowned, having no intention whatsoever of wasting time with them.
Innate Tyrant Body!
Triple Combat Power!
Activate!
BOOM!
An aura far more terrifying, violent, and suffocating than before—like magma suppressed in the earth’s core for millennia—erupted wildly from within Chen Xuan’s body!
The golden flames already blazing around him instantly swelled to several times their size, the inferno shooting dozens of feet into the air. Their color shifted from brilliant gold to a deeper, more violent dark gold. A searing heatwave swept out, making the very air keen as if being scorched. The "pool of lava" at his feet expanded abruptly as the incandescent, magma-like substance spread through the cracks in the ground!
He raised his right arm and slowly clenched his fingers into a fist. On his arm, muscles coiled like dragons and veins bulged like enraged pythons. Fine, dark-gold draconic scales surfaced on his skin as a terrifying power, condensed to its absolute limit, gathered, compressed, and began to boil in his fist!
There were no fancy stances, no complex manipulations of True Qi.
It was simply the most direct, most savage punch imaginable!
