Chapter 269: Chapter 171: Everyone, Kneel Down! And Kneel Properly

’And now you’ve come all the way here?

You’re just asking to be humiliated!

A mere Inner Realm First Layer!

I’ll defeat you! I’ll break you!

I’ll shatter your spirit, make you fall to your knees and wail in agony, and completely ruin your future.

That would be the most satisfying thing ever!’

As his voice fell, the eyes of many in the crowd lit up with a fervent gleam. One by one, they turned to stare at Chen Xuan like hungry tigers.

At this, the expressions of the three Chai siblings changed drastically.

They seemed to fear that this group would join forces.

Chai Yuan was about to shout angrily but was stopped by Chen Xuan, who grabbed him by the shoulder. With a smile on his face, Chen Xuan looked at the crowd and said, "Excellent. As expected of the Grotto Heaven, you’re all extraordinarily confident. Come on, then. Let’s see how you plan to break me today. Oh, and one more thing: if you can’t break me, you will all kneel and slap your own faces!"

’It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an energetic bunch. The Grotto Heaven is truly something else. Always finding new ways to entertain me!’

It made his blood boil with excitement once more.

"Are you sure you want to fight so many of us alone?"

Huyan Yunlong’s tone was deep.

His intention with those words had been to make Chen Xuan back down in the face of such difficulty.

But now...

The man had taken it as a provocation and agreed immediately.

"Of course!"

Chen Xuan’s voice was calm, but his fervent gaze swept over the Grotto Heaven masters before him. "You are all geniuses of the Grotto Heaven. I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

The fire in the eyes of the crowd instantly grew more intense.

They had no reason to refuse the chance to practice on an Inner Realm First Layer cultivator.

Even if it was rather undignified.

"Aunt, was he the one who beat you last time?"

A man in his late thirties standing beside Dong Jianxue spoke in a cold tone, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuan.

He was older than Dong Jianxue, and his name was Dong Xuan!

But in terms of generational seniority, he had to call her "Aunt."

He had originally planned to find Chen Xuan and settle the score, but he kept getting bogged down by other matters. By the time he was free, Chen Xuan had already reached the Inner Realm, and he was no longer a match for him.

But now!

’This is my chance! With so many people using their Secret Techniques to gang up on him, there’s no way he can withstand it!’

"Yes, but... but you shouldn’t fight him..."

Dong Jianxue shivered.

Last time, even her Third Grand-Uncle couldn’t beat him. He was forced to his knees, wailing in agony...

It was truly a traumatic experience that would scar her for life.

To this day, the old man had locked himself in his room and refused to see anyone.

"It’s fine!"

Dong Xuan’s lips curved into a cold smirk. "The Grotto Heaven will not be insulted!"

"That’s right! The Grotto Heaven will not be insulted!"

Someone else jumped up.

One after another, powerful figures leaped from the floating platforms they had claimed, gathering into a dense crowd.

Each one of them unleashed their aura.

Some were at the Seventh Level of True Essence, some at the Eighth, some at the Ninth...

Their gazes burned as they all stared intently at Chen Xuan.

The three Chai siblings looked on in horror, swallowing hard.

’It’s over!

This has gotten out of hand!

He’s provoked everyone into attacking him at once.’

"Brother Chen..."

Chai Yuan quickly turned to look at Chen Xuan.

"It’s fine. Stand back!"

Chen Xuan said lightly, pushing Chai Yuan behind him.

"Everyone, don’t hesitate! Use all your Secret Techniques!"

Li Heilong’s tone was low as he said, "He’s in the Inner Realm! We must go all out from the very beginning!"

"That’s right! Today, we forge a legend!"

Huyan Yunlong roared.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Suddenly, a series of great explosions erupted before them.

Everyone began to unleash their Secret Techniques, their bodies blazing with brilliant, dazzling light.

There were techniques of all different attributes.

Waves of terrifyingly powerful energy swept out in every direction.

The entire Small Secret Realm seemed to tremble slightly from the force!

A sinister smile spread across Dong Xuan’s face as he sneered, "Chen Xuan, get on the ground!"

SWOOSH!

He was actually the first to charge forward.

After him, the entire crowd charged forward in unison, as if by unspoken agreement.

Beams of terrifying light, dazzling and brilliant.

Like a meteor shower, they erupted with an immeasurable amount of power.

It was as if all the light in the world was concentrated in their eyes.

Every one of them seemed to see the dawn of victory!

They pictured the scene of Chen Xuan beaten to the ground, howling in pain.

’Never mind an Inner Realm First Layer. Even if you were at the Second Layer, you’d be sent flying, spitting blood and wailing in agony under the combined assault of so many geniuses. Victory is certain!’

They couldn’t think of any reason why they might lose!

However!

Terror and despair arrived swiftly.

Almost as soon as the crowd charged, a deafening BOOM resounded before them, like the sky falling and the earth cracking open. Endless flames blazed, transforming the area into a terrifying sea of fire.

Chen Xuan was still Chen Xuan.

But behind him, a river of endless lava had appeared. From within the lava, a massive, lifelike fire dragon emerged. It was utterly ferocious, several thousand meters long.

Every single one of its scales was clearly visible. Its two blazing golden eyes swiveled around, staring at the crowd with excitement and madness. Its mouth split open in a grin that was as terrifying as could be.

It was like a living, primordial fire dragon.

Its scorching aura and terrifying presence instantly filled everyone with dread. The confidence that had been soaring just a moment ago shattered in an instant.

Everyone suddenly felt their own insignificance...

They trembled from head to toe, utterly terrified.

It was like a three-year-old child suddenly encountering a ferocious tiger deep in the mountains.

This wasn’t a matter of numbers.

Even with countless more children, they could never defeat the tiger.

’This isn’t even on the same fucking dimension!

Chen Xuan is definitely not just at the Inner Realm First Layer!!’

Terror seized the hearts of many. On the verge of a mental breakdown, they desperately tried to slam on the brakes, wanting to scream for mercy.

But it was useless. There were too many people.

The moment someone in front stopped, the person behind them would crash right into them.

Before the fight even began, the crowd had already piled into a chaotic mess.

"I’m out!"

"I surrender!"

"I give up!"

Countless panicked shouts rang out.

"ROAR!"

A deafening dragon’s roar shook the entire secret realm, drowning out all other sounds. The huge, ferocious fire dragon lunged forward, ruthlessly submerging everyone.

BOOM!

The ground shook and the world thundered.

A terrifyingly powerful wave of energy enveloped everything.

Flames and lava of unknown intensity flew everywhere.

Screams of agony filled the air as bodies were sent flying. The ground trembled as if in a super earthquake.

Not only were the three Chai siblings completely stunned...

Even Dong Jianxue, the only one nearby who hadn’t attacked, was stupefied. Her body swayed, and she collapsed to the ground, her mind buzzing in a daze.

The shadow Chen Xuan cast over her heart grew infinitely larger once more...
