Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

BOOM...

Jiang Chen’s words were like a giant boulder crashing into a calm lake.

They sent monstrous ripples spreading out.

”Jiang Chen actually dares to challenge the four Young Venerables at once?”

”Has he gone mad?”

Du Xinwu and the other three exchanged glances, their expressions darkening simultaneously.

Du Xinwu snorted coldly. ”Jiang Chen, aren’t you a bit too arrogant?”

Jiang Chen smiled. ”Brother Du, there’s no need to be angry. I have no intention of underestimating you. I purely wish to challenge my own limits!”

”And you challenge your limits by taking on the four of us at once?”

”Fine, fine! Since you’re looking for death, you can’t blame us!”

The most excited among them was none other than Yee Chenfeng. ”Jiang Chen, oh, Jiang Chen, you brought this upon yourself! Soon, I will personally take your head!”

The four flew into the Floating Battlefield together.

Du Xinwu, Yee Chenfeng, Qin and Han Dynasties, and Sima Hengfeng—all four Young Venerables—fixed their icy gazes on Jiang Chen.

Qin and Han Dynasties snorted coldly. ”Let me be the first to test you!”

SWOOSH—

The weapon of Qin and Han Dynasties was a Celestial Tier Low-level Profound Weapon, the Golden Threaded Big Ring Saber. With a single slash, it tore through the air, a brilliant blade of light streaking across the sky. As if slicing open the void itself, it chopped fiercely toward Jiang Chen—a blow capable of splitting the very earth!

Jiang Chen gave a cold smile and pointed a finger. ”Star Pointing Finger—Star-Breaking!”

BUZZ!

A colossal, Qingtian-like finger formed from countless points of starlight shot through the air. With a thunderous BOOM, it directly blasted the brilliant saber light into oblivion.

The figure of Qin and Han Dynasties was instantly sent flying back several thousand meters.

His expression flickered with uncertainty. ”H-How can he be this strong?”

’I, Qin and Han Dynasties, am a top expert on the Venerable List, yet I was sent flying thousands of meters by a single finger? This is an utter disgrace!’

”No wonder you’re so defiant... With this level of strength, you are indeed worthy of the four of us joining forces!” Du Xinwu said, his face grave.

Sima Hengfeng nodded, his expression solemn. ”Your strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary Young Venerable. Like Lan Haichen, Xuue Yinhao, and the Night Emperor, you are practically an invincible existence. You are worthy of the four of us fighting you together!”

”If you had challenged us one by one, we would not have been your match. It’s a pity you’re so ignorant of your own limits, daring to challenge all four of us at once. Today, you will be defeated!” Qin and Han Dynasties said, grinding his teeth.

Yee Chenfeng revealed a grim expression. ”You’re asking for death, so don’t blame us!”

Facing the four Young Venerables, Jiang Chen—who had just broken through to the Heavenly Destiny Realm Seventh Stage and elevated his Martial Soul to Celestial Tier Second Grade—smiled confidently and said, ”Three moves!”

”Hm?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Chen slowly explained, ”None of us are mortal enemies. The only reason I’m challenging you is purely for the Dragons of Fortune. But blades have no eyes, and to avoid unnecessary harm, I will only make three moves. If you can withstand these three moves, I, Jiang Chen, will automatically concede defeat, and the Dragons of Fortune will be yours. But if you cannot withstand my three moves, then you will have lost. How about it?”

”What? You want to defeat the four of us Young Venerables, fighting together, in just three moves?”

”You’re unbelievably arrogant!”

”This is too insulting!”

”Let’s fight! I’d like to see how you’ll defeat the four of us in three moves...”

All four were enraged.

They were all Young Venerables!

From a young age, they had displayed heaven-defying talent, were immensely powerful, and invincible among their peers. Even Lan Haichen, the acknowledged number one Young Venerable, had never been this arrogant!

To boast of defeating four Venerables at once in three moves!

True Essence Light surged from their bodies, transforming them into four furious War Gods, their icy gazes locked on Jiang Chen.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Violent auras erupted from them. The sheer power of their vitality transformed into four blood-red pillars of light that shot into the sky.

”Gale Chaotic Dance!”

”Heaven and Earth Slash!”

”Star Bursting Fist!”

”Sun and Moon Light Wheel...”

A gale of True Essence howled.

Piercing Sword Qi seemed about to tear the Celestial Vault apart.

Shadows of fists flew like stars falling from the Celestial Vault.

Two massive wheels of light, one black and one white, spun frantically in the void, whistling as they shot toward Jiang Chen!

The four Venerables attacked simultaneously.

Jiang Chen’s gaze was cold. A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from his throat, ”First technique—Celestial Flame Cross Slash!”

An eye-piercing edge of light immediately pulsed from the Demon Sword Spirit Slayer.

Sword Qi like a solar storm gathered at the blade’s tip. As the Spirit-Slaying Sword erupted with brilliant light, it shuddered violently. A spherical mass of Sword Qi, like a blazing sun, slashed toward the four Young Venerables.

The terrifying Sword Qi contained a blazing fire. Tier Three Fire Sword Intent coalesced on the edge of the blade, and the world’s Fire Spiritual Qi gathered frantically.

This caused the power of the sword strike to increase several times over!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The crimson, spherical Sword Qi, like a ferocious Exotic Beast, crushed everything in its path.

The fist shadows, the raging gale, the Sun and Moon Treasure Wheel...

Everything was annihilated under the impact of the blazing Sword Qi, obliterated as if rotten wood.

”Not good!”

”Such powerful Sword Qi!”

The faces of the four changed in unison.

Sima Hengfeng stepped forward, an inky-black radiance pulsing around him. A jet-black Mountain Seal appeared in his palm.

He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Mountain Seal. The seal immediately flared with black light, spinning and growing larger until it transformed into a towering mountain before them. His gaze was cold as he roared, ”I’ll block this Sword Qi! The three of you, attack now and kill this kid!”

”Alright!”

”We’ll leave this to you!”

Du Xinwu and the other two nodded in unison and charged Jiang Chen from three different directions.

「At the same time...」

The blazing, spherical Sword Qi had already crashed into the jet-black mountain.

HUM!

The towering mountain shuddered slightly, and the spherical Sword Qi also jolted to a halt.

Sima Hengfeng wore a brilliant smile. ”Jiang Chen, your attack doesn’t seem to be working!”

”Hahaha, Jiang Chen, die!”

The combined attack of Du Xinwu and the other two arrived before Jiang Chen at that very moment.

Facing the three-pronged assault, Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow. He drew a circular arc with the longsword in front of him and said slowly, ”Celestial Flame—Hundred Extremes Slash!”

The Celestial Tier Low-level Sword Technique, ”Celestial Flame Sun-Devouring Slash”, had a total of four techniques: Celestial Flame Cross Slash, Celestial Flame Hundred Extremes Slash, Celestial Flame Star Shattering Slash, and Celestial Flame Sun-Devouring Slash!

「Now...」

What Jiang Chen had mastered were the First Technique and the Second Technique.

Once this second technique, Celestial Flame Hundred Extremes Slash, was activated, the dark gold light all over his body grew turbulent.

With a single slash.

The Spiritual Qi throughout the Floating Battlefield went berserk. Tier Three Water Sword Intent made the ocean below roar as Water Dragons soared into the sky; Tier Three Wind Sword Intent whipped up gales across the sea’s surface; and Tier Three Fire Sword Intent was mixed with raging flames.

Under the enhancement of all three Sword Intents at once.

Instantly, over a hundred sharp streams of Sword Qi, fanning out like a peacock’s tail, shot forward.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each stream of Sword Qi was powerful enough to severely injure a Heavenly Destiny Ninth Stage expert. The hundred streams of Sword Qi arrived one after another, carrying an unparalleled and terrifying power, sweeping over everything like a storm of destruction.

”No...”

”It’s too strong, I can’t block it at all...”

The expressions of Du Xinwu, Qin and Han Dynasties, and Yee Chenfeng changed in unison. Their attacks were directly destroyed by the relentless onslaught of Sword Qi.

A terrifying, destructive power enveloped them completely.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of explosions echoed across the Celestial Vault. Dazzling and brilliant balls of energy burst like fireworks, blindingly bright.

SWOOSH—

SWOOSH—

SWOOSH—

Three wretched figures, like stars falling from the sky, plummeted into the Vast Sea below.

One slash, and three Young Venerables were defeated!

HISS!

Watching from behind the black Mountain Seal, Sima Hengfeng sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, a look of horror flashing through his eyes. However, when he saw the black mountain in front of him, his confidence returned. He sneered, ”Two techniques have passed. There’s no way you can break my Mountain Seal’s defense. While I can’t do anything to you, you can’t hurt me either. We still win this round!”

”Can’t do anything to me? Where do you get such confidence?”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

His sword-like eyebrows suddenly knitted together. Gripping the Spirit-Slaying Sword with both hands, he let out a low roar, ”Celestial Flame Hundred Extremes Slash!”

The meteor shower of Sword Qi was incredibly violent, striking the heavy mountain again and again.

The mountain trembled violently, its black light flickering.

Under the near-frenzied, thunderstorm-like assault, cracks began to appear on the mountain. Finally, with a ”BOOM,” it exploded.

The peerless Sword Qi continued onward, its momentum unabated, and slammed straight into Sima Hengfeng.

BANG! BANG! BANG...

Each impact sent Sima Hengfeng’s body jolting backward violently, blood spraying from his mouth. Finally, with a ”BOOM,” he too fell into the vast, endless Vast Sea.

”...”

The entire Celestial Pride War Hall fell silent.

Before this battle began, everyone had thought Jiang Chen would surely be defeated.

However, the truth was now laid bare before them.

Jiang Chen had won!

One against four, and he had won so decisively, so cleanly...

One man, one sword, had suppressed four Young Venerables!

Everyone’s faces were filled with shock and utter disbelief!
