Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

The Fenghuo Commerce Association was in complete chaos.

The thousand-zhang-tall stone stele and the terrifying sword marks surrounding the Fenghuo Commerce Association filled the experts within with a mixture of shock and rage.

”How dare you!”

”Where did this brat come from, daring to cause trouble at our Fenghuo Commerce Association? You must have a death wish!”

”Kill him!”

From within the Fenghuo Commerce Association, figures rushed out one after another.

A hundred people in total!

Two among them were Human King Realm Powerhouses. Cold expressions appeared on their faces as they looked at Jiang Chen. ”Brat, you’re quite arrogant!”

”Since the founding of our Fenghuo Commerce Association, no one has ever dared to attack us at our own doorstep. Today, this place will be your grave!”

The two Human King Realm Powerhouses attacked simultaneously.

Their speed was incredible. In an instant, they had already crossed the boundary line Jiang Chen had drawn.

Standing atop the stone stele, Jiang Chen swept an indifferent gaze over the two. ”You’ve crossed the line.”

”Hm?”

The two of them froze.

And then...

Expressions of terror appeared on their faces as they saw Jiang Chen swing his sword with what seemed to be a casual air, its edge pulsating with a black Sword Aura.

The blade seemed to move with extreme slowness.

But the two Human King Realm Powerhouses found that they couldn’t dodge the attack at all. They could only watch helplessly as the sword drew closer and closer.

PFFT! PFFT!

Two heads flew high into the air and landed in front of the stone stele.

Fresh blood stained the Celestial Vault, falling down in a crimson rain.

HISS—

Gasps of shock instantly filled the air.

”That was the Fenghuo Commerce Association’s Vice Commander and Grand Commander! They were both Human King Realm Experts, and they just died like that?”

”Who is that young man? What terrifying strength!”

”I-Is that Jiang Chen?”

”Jiang Chen is actually picking a fight with the Fenghuo Commerce Association? We need to get out of here, quick! We can’t get caught up in this...”

The various powerhouses who had been leisurely browsing inside the Fenghuo Commerce Association had just been thinking that this young man who dared to provoke them was surely doomed.

But the moment they heard his name was Jiang Chen,

they immediately panicked.

They fled frantically from the Fenghuo Commerce Association, but Jiang Chen’s Divine Thought constantly enveloped the entire compound. He would not let a single person from the Association escape!

’Trying to slip away in the chaos?’

Jiang Chen noticed an expert from the Fenghuo Commerce Association hiding in the crowd.

With a flash of his sword,

the expert, who had been secretly rejoicing, suddenly shuddered as a wisp of Sword Aura pierced through his brow.

”H-How did he find me...”

Filled with unwilling resentment and confusion, the expert collapsed to the ground, his blood pooling around him.

After this warning, all the Fenghuo Commerce Association experts who had been trying to escape in the chaos halted in their tracks.

There were a thousand people in the entire Fenghuo Commerce Association.

All of them were experts from the Fengyang Ancient Country, stationed at this branch in Celestial Capital City. In the past, who would have ever dared to cause trouble at the Fenghuo Commerce Association?

But today...

These thousand-plus people didn’t dare make a move.

A Human King Realm Eighth Stage expert looked out at Jiang Chen with a grim expression, then turned to the powerhouses behind him and said in a low voice, ”Where is the president? Jiang Chen is right at our door, why hasn’t the president appeared yet?”

”The president entered the Void Realm yesterday and hasn’t come out.”

”With the president gone, how can we possibly stop him?”

”What are we going to do?”

The faces of the Fenghuo Commerce Association’s many experts were filled with bitterness and despair.

The Human King Realm Eighth Stage expert’s expression was also dark and uncertain. He snorted coldly and said, ”All of you wait here. I’ll go find the president!”

He left at once.

Deep within the Fenghuo Commerce Association was an entrance to a Void Realm.

When this expert reached the entrance to the Void Realm, he found it tightly sealed. He couldn’t help but be stunned. ’Damn it, what the hell is the president doing?’

Just then...

Jiang Chen’s voice suddenly rang out from outside. ”Half an incense stick of time has passed. After today, the Fenghuo Commerce Association will cease to exist!”

RUMBLE!

The Spiritual Qi throughout heaven and earth began to rampage wildly.

Above the Fenghuo Commerce Association, a massive Spiritual Qi Storm was condensing, forming a gigantic tornado.

WHOOSH—

The storm grew larger and larger, pressing down toward the ground.

”This is bad!”

The expression of the Human King Realm Eighth Stage expert changed drastically, and he immediately roared, ”Activate the Guardian Array!”

RUMBLE!

The Fenghuo Commerce Association shook violently.

Beams of light shot into the sky, forming the Guardian Array. It manifested as an earth-yellow barrier of light, enveloping the Fenghuo Commerce Association.

But the terrifying storm was completely unable to break through the shield’s protection!

Everyone from the Fenghuo Commerce Association secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ”Thank goodness for the Guardian Array’s protection. Otherwise, that terrifying Spiritual Qi Storm alone would have been enough to annihilate us!”

”It’s fine. The Third Commander has already gone to get the president. As long as the president takes action, that brat is as good as dead!”

As the crowd was talking,

the Third Commander returned with a grim expression. His eyes narrowed as he sized up Jiang Chen.

He already knew Jiang Chen’s identity. A grim, cold light flickered in his eyes as he said in a low voice, ”Jiang Chen, do you have any idea what you’re doing? This is the Fenghuo Commerce Association! By doing this, are you trying to become a sworn enemy of my Fengyang Ancient Country?”

”I’ve long been in a fight to the death with the Fengyang Ancient Country. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that,” Jiang Chen said calmly.

”You...”

The Third Commander’s face sank. His expression wavered as he considered making a threat, but the thought that Jiang Chen had killed even Yangg Hong without hesitation drained him of his confidence. He said gravely, ”Jiang Chen, as the saying goes, punishment should not extend to the innocent. The people of our Fenghuo Commerce Association did not participate in the attempt to besiege and kill you!”

”It’s true you didn’t participate in trying to kill me. However, you captured my sister, as well as Little Black and Little White.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes grew even colder. ”If you don’t want to die, release Xiaoyou and the others immediately. Otherwise, I will slaughter everyone in the Fenghuo Commerce Association!”

The Third Commander’s heart sank.

He vaguely recalled that an expert from the Association had indeed brought back a little girl yesterday. That must have been Jiang Chen’s sister.

But...

He absolutely could not admit it now.

If others found out that the Fenghuo Commerce Association had targeted a child, they would be utterly disgraced. Who would dare to do business with them then?

The Third Commander snorted coldly and snapped, ”Nonsense! When has my Fenghuo Commerce Association ever captured your sister? Jiang Chen, don’t push your luck! We have our Guardian Array, and you can’t do anything to us. I have already notified the president. I advise you to leave at once, and we can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you will not escape with your life!”

”It seems you intend to deny it to the end.”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly. ”Do you really think a mere Guardian Array can stop me? Since you refuse to hand over Xiaoyou, I’ll just have to level the Fenghuo Commerce Association and find her myself!”

As soon as his voice fell,

Jiang Chen pushed both hands forward. A black shadow appeared before him, growing larger and larger with a deafening roar.

It was the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle!

The colossal Celestial Demon Ancient Castle was like a majestic mountain, ten thousand zhang high, blotting out the sky and sun, plunging the world into darkness.

Jiang Chen’s gaze was like lightning, as cold as ice. ”Break for me!”

RUMBLE!

The Celestial Demon Ancient Castle came crashing down.

The earth-yellow Guardian Array was like an eggshell. With a loud CRACK, it was shattered under the oppressive weight of the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

The Celestial Demon Ancient Castle continued its descent, crushing everything in its path with irresistible force, destroying all!

Under the suppressive force of the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle, the vast Fenghuo Commerce Association continuously exploded and collapsed. The thousand-plus experts hiding within were pulverized by the castle’s impact, their bodies turned to dust, leaving no intact corpses.

BOOM—

The entire Imperial Capital trembled. When Jiang Chen finally retracted the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle,

the second-largest commerce association in Celestial Capital City had been reduced to a pile of rubble, razed to the ground by Jiang Chen.

Standing high in the sky, Jiang Chen swept the area with his Divine Thought and discovered the Void Realm entrance deep within the ruins of the Fenghuo Commerce Association. He could sense a faint trace of the Black Emperor’s aura there. Jiang Chen’s eyes grew even colder...

’No matter who you are, if you dare to harm Xiaoyou and the others, I will make you regret ever being born!’
