Li Chen stood alone in the void, holding his sword towards the heavens.

It seemed as though a Divine Dragon coiled around the sword's edge, roaring towards the sky.

"Thousandfold Slash!"

With one slash, the dragon sword shadow swept forth, enveloped in thousand-fold colossal waves, like a raging flood beast devouring all in its path.

Monk Wuhua and the other Heavenly Prides from Bai Yunfeng all had expressions as heavy as a mountain. Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displayed their Divine Skills to counter Li Chen's world-devastating sword.

Instantly, heaven and earth changed color, and thunder exploded. Fierce winds ravaged, sending sand and stones spinning, dust flying, blocking out the sky and sun.

Some cultivators with lower cultivation were caught in this violent collision, vomiting blood on the spot.

"Li Chen has only just condensed a Golden Core; how can his True Yuan be so terrifying?"

Everyone's hearts were filled with extreme shock, finding it hard to believe that what they witnessed was reality, even with their own eyes.

"Ah!"

"Puchi!"

A Heavenly Pride from an Earth-level Sect was severely wounded by Li Chen's Sword Intent, screaming mournfully as he fell like a meteor, crashing to the ground, life or death unknown.

His cry of despair spread like a plague among these so-called illustrious Heavenly Prides, unsettling them, and even igniting thoughts of retreat in the depths of their hearts.

"Slash again!"

Seizing the moment, Li Chen swung his Mystic Iron Heavy Sword once more, striking down fiercely.

This sword held no fancy maneuvers, simple and brutal, aiming straight at the critical point.

Some sect elites, sensing the unfavorable situation, immediately retracted their Magical Treasures and retreated backward to evade Li Chen's Sword Light.

However, their retreat put their companions under immense pressure, soon unable to hold their ground.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

...

Blood sprayed forth like roses, blooming mid-air, one after another, staining the entire sky a bloody red.

"Third Slash!"

Li Chen, pressing his advantage, swung the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, unleashing a majestic third cut.

This sword strike proclaimed the complete failure of the Jiuzhou Sects' Heavenly Prides alliance.

Those typically exalted Heaven's Chosen Sons and Holy Daughters fell from the sky like clay chickens and pottery dogs.

The fortunate ones suffered minor injuries.

The unfortunate ones had their foundations damaged, years of hard cultivation turned to dust.

The extremely unlucky had their cultivation abolished, even meeting their end on the spot.

With merely three slashes, Li Chen decimated hundreds of Jiuzhou Sect Heavenly Prides, leaving most dead or wounded.

It could be said that the elite disciples of Jiuzhou's Great Sects lost at least a third of their number.

Whether Heavenly Sects or ordinary ones, the loss was undeniably severe.

At this moment, the Sect Leaders and Elders of all major sects felt a sharp pain in their teeth, gasping in shock, as a profound chill settled over their hearts.

The Demon Sect and the Demon Clan, while gloating initially, now truly realized Li Chen's terror, harboring a deeper dread of him.

Now that the Reputable Sects have enmity with Li Chen, who slaughtered their disciples.

Someday, when they clash with him, how should they respond?

Even though Li Chen has a good rapport with the Little Demon Immortal, and even entrusted his beloved woman and Beast Pet to her care, the Demon Clan's leaders nonetheless shared their concerns.

The fundamental reason is: no matter what, Li Chen is human, not a demon.

Not of our kind, their hearts are surely different!

To the Human Clan, this is true; and likewise for the Demon Clan!

Of course, there is a group that celebrated Li Chen's forceful rise.

This group was the Loose Cultivators!

A large yet frequently oppressed group, often bullied or killed by Sect Disciples.

Now, with Li Chen, a Loose Cultivator, dominating all sides, vanquishing the feared sect elites, for them, it felt like a strong shot of adrenaline, even more exhilarating than a high.

For those ambitious Loose Cultivators, Li Chen now was their undefeated legend, a radiant star guiding them forward. They began to revere Li Chen as if he were a deity, worshiping him fervently.

Yet at this moment, Li Chen showed no sign of arrogance from defeating these Jiuzhou Heavenly Prides.

If the Star Domain's myriad clans are boundless seas, then these so-called Jiuzhou Heavenly Prides are merely a ditch.

Would someone who once conquered the vast seas feel pride in crossing a ditch?

Li Chen's expression remained calm as his piercing eyes swept over these sect Heavenly Prides.

Finally, his gaze, filled with killing intent, fixed upon Ye Xing.

The previously most arrogant Ye Xing now lacked even the courage to face Li Chen directly.

When Li Chen's eyes turned towards him, he was filled with terror, instinctively retreating.

The Jiao Long, devouring fruits, upon seeing the enemy who previously attacked it with a sword, immediately roared and bared its teeth.

Li Chen got the message and, with eyes cold as ice, shouted: "Little Dragon, rest assured. The blood debt will be repaid, they won't escape!"

Ye Xing was utterly terrified and shouted hysterically towards Jian Chen in the sky: "Master, save me, save me..."

Sect Leader Jian Chen, although disappointed in Ye Xing's behavior, could not allow his sect's disciple to be slaughtered by Li Chen.

Thus, when Ye Xing pleaded for help, the thoroughly enraged Jian Chen shattered the sky with his step, and with a wave of his sleeve, wielded his finger as a sword towards Li Chen.

Sect Leader Jian Chen was a Late-stage Nascent Soul expert, far superior to Jian Changming.

Even now, Li Chen dared not underestimate him.

Therefore, seeing Jian Chen's attack approaching, he abandoned the idea of killing Ye Xing, changing his move mid-air to face the attack head-on.

"Clang!"

The sword hummed, like dragon's roar and tiger's howl, shaking the heavens.

After this clash, Li Chen's body shook violently. He retreated dozens of feet, only stabilizing after striking a massive boulder.

In contrast, Jian Chen remained as steady as Tai Mountain, unmoving.

Though Li Chen's talent could be deemed demonically rare, he had only just formed his Golden Core. Against Ye Xing, Bai Yunfeng, and their peers, he was dominant. But against a top-tier Nascent Soul Cultivator like Sect Leader Jian Chen from Heavenly Sword Mountain in a one-on-one fight, he seemed somewhat powerless.

After all, the gap in cultivation was far too vast, not something that talent or Magical Treasures alone could bridge...
