"I'll take you on!"

At this moment, a man over nine feet tall, with a tiger-like body and bear-like waist, wielding a Thunder Hammer in both hands, suddenly leaped onto the Jade Platform.

As he landed, the entire platform shuddered violently from the powerful impact.

"Lei Tian, disciple of Heavenly Thunder Sect, here to challenge!"

As he spoke, his eyes, wide as copper bells, seemed to flicker with lightning, crackling and booming.

Li Chen glanced at him indifferently from the corner of his eye and said, "You alone are no match for me!"

"Arrogant! Take a strike from my hammer before you make such lofty claims!"

Being the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Lei Tian was fiery by nature and couldn't tolerate such humiliation from Li Chen. Instantly, he flew into a rage.

Before his deadly intent was fully expressed, the large iron hammer in his hand crashed together like clouds charged with positive and negative ions.

Thunder rolled and echoed across the heavens.

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning, like serpents, sprinted towards Li Chen.

This was the Guardian Technique of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Thunderous Thousand Strikes. Knowing Li Chen's prowess, Lei Tian didn't hold back and unleashed his strongest attack right away.

"Humph, displaying petty skills before an expert. Playing with Thunder Control Technique in front of me, you're still too inexperienced!"

Li Chen snorted disdainfully, and the Seven-star Dragon Abyss pierced into the clouds, surrounded by lightning, forming a millstone-like electromagnetic field.

The lightning Lei Tian conjured seemed attracted by some invisible force, changing direction in mid-air, and converging towards the tip of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, Lei Tian's face was filled with disbelief as his eyes widened in shock.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

"With me, Li Chen, nothing is impossible!"

Before his words fell silent, Li Chen fiercely wielded the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, gathering thousands of thunders, and struck towards Lei Tian.

Lei Tian, utterly shocked, swung his large iron hammer hurriedly to construct a defensive barrier, hoping to block Li Chen's attack.

However, in the next instant, the defensive barrier he constructed collapsed completely like a mountain sliding down.

A blast of thunder echoed, resounding through heaven and earth.

Lei Tian let out a tragic scream, his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, until it crashed into the stone wall before coming to a stop.

He spat a mouthful of blood, with residual lightning still roaming over his body, causing him to foam at the mouth and convulse violently, unable to move.

"Brother Lei Tian, Brother Lei Tian!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect rushed over to support their senior brother who was thrown out.

But as soon as they touched Lei Tian's body, they were jolted as if electrocuted, their eyes rolling and mouths askew, shaking uncontrollably.

"Hiss!"

Everyone witnessing this scene couldn't help but gasp.

No one could have imagined that Li Chen, not only possessing formidable Sword Dao, could even master the Thunder Control Technique, far surpassing the Chief Disciple of Heavenly Thunder Sect, Lei Tian.

Even though they saw it with their own eyes, everyone present still found it hard to believe their eyes.

How was he still human?

Simply a monster!

Li Chen scanned the area below and shouted, "Who else?"

"I'm here!"

Just before the voice fell, a figure suddenly broke through the sound barrier at a terrifying speed nearly twenty times the speed of sound, and stabbed towards Li Chen.

No one in the new generation of Heavenly Pride could achieve such terrifying speed except for Teng Qianshan, the Chief Disciple of the Wanli Sect.

Even Li Chen looked slightly serious upon witnessing this scene, with a hint of appreciation flashing in his deep and clear eyes.

"Speed's good, but your attack power is lacking."

Li Chen waved his sleeve, effortlessly blocking Teng Qianshan's attack.

Teng Qianshan didn't entangle with Li Chen, and after missing his strike, he quickly retreated.

His speed was extremely fast, only leaving a blur visible to the naked eye. In just a blink, he vanished without a trace.

Teng Qianshan planned to use harassment tactics, not facing Li Chen head-on, but utilizing his innate movement technique advantage to wear Li Chen down until he was exhausted.

Moreover, Teng Qianshan refused to believe it!

He assumed that Li Chen, having consecutively defeated Jian Wuheng, Dugu Ming, and Lei Tian, might have reached a critical point in his True Yuan. If he persisted, he would certainly win in the end.

By then, Teng Qianshan would be the champion of the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition, becoming the new generation's top Heavenly Pride in the Cultivation Realm!

The ambition was grand, yet reality was harsh!

As Teng Qianshan was preparing to launch another round of attacks using his movement technique, Li Chen simply pointed lightly, executing "Drawing the ground as a prison" to trap him within. No matter how he charged, it was to no avail.

Seeing Li Chen approaching step by step, Teng Qianshan was anxious, sweat as large as beans, dripping down heavily.

When he keenly sensed the True Yuan gathering in Li Chen's palm, he steeled himself and shouted, disregarding the pride of being Heavenly Pride, "Stop, I admit defeat!"

"Admitting defeat now, it's too late!"

Li Chen's icy voice lingered in the air momentarily, as he suddenly struck with a large palm imprint, sweeping a gust of Gang wind towards Teng Qianshan.

Teng Qianshan's greatest advantage was his movement speed. Now trapped in Li Chen's prison, unable to move, it was like a tiger without claws. Even against a Heaven's Chosen Son from an Earth-level Sect, he would be ruthlessly beaten.

With a "Boom," Teng Qianshan's entire body spun several times mid-air like a leaf in autumn wind, crashing heavily to the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

Heavenly Sword Mountain's Jian Wuheng, Dugu Family's Dugu Ming, Heavenly Thunder Sect's Lei Tian, Wanli Sect's Teng Qianshan... Four top Heavenly Prides have consecutively fallen at Li Chen's hands.

Except for Jian Wuheng, the other three Heavenly Prides were defeated by Li Chen's thunderous methods with a single face-off.

This was simply terrifying!

Both ordinary disciples and Elders on the high platform were all in shock, completely unable to believe what they saw.

But facts remain facts, unaffected by anyone's will. Whether you believe it or not, it happened indeed.

At this time, the remaining Heavenly Prides finally compromised with reality, lowered their so-called pride, and prepared to join forces to defeat this monstrous Li Chen.

"Everyone go together. I don't believe Li Chen can defy the heavens!"

The first to speak was Zhuge Lihuo, a Heavenly Pride from the Zhuge Family. With a Red Flame Sword in hand, he danced in the air like a fire dragon soaring across the sky.

Almost simultaneously, Beichen Family's Heavenly Pride, Beichen Feng, also lifted a crescent-shaped Tungsten Iron Scimitar, condensing a horizontal dazzling blade light in the air like substance, slashing over.

Sanskrit Temple's Monk Wuhua folded his hands in prayer, uttered the chant "Amitabha Buddha," and quickly formed a Great Bright Seal, pressing towards Li Chen.

Even the Heavenly Girl Dancer from the Illusion Sound Pavilion took graceful steps, holding the Phoenix-tail Zither, with slender fingers, strumming rapidly, transforming music into an attack on Li Chen's soul.

Other Heaven's Chosen Sons and Holy Daughters, like Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, showcased their Divine Skills, all unleashing their ultimate moves, intending to first join forces to extinguish the anomaly that is Li Chen.

Witnessing such a grand scene, many felt a toothache.

No matter how monstrous Li Chen was, could he withstand the attack of so many Heavenly Pride elites?

However, facing this multitude of powerful enemies, there was no hint of fear in Li Chen's expression.

On the contrary, the bright and deep war intent burned fiercely in his eyes.

"Perfect timing, let me weigh well. You so-called Heavenly Pride and Holy Daughters, how much weight do you carry?"

...
