Looking at the sword in Chen Chang'an's hand, Wang Zhiwei could hardly believe his eyes!
This was the Mu family's God-Slaying Sword—a peerless immortal weapon that would stir desire even in the ancient Immortal Domain.
And yet, Mu Yunyao had actually given such a treasure to Chen Chang'an?
Wasn’t this far too generous?
Did the Mu family truly approve of her doing this?
"God-Slaying Sword?"
"Master, judging by this, it seems this isn’t the Emperor’s Weapon you mentioned, is it?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.
"Indeed, the God-Slaying Sword is one of the nine supreme immortal swords of the ancient Immortal Domain."
One of the nine supreme immortal swords of the ancient Immortal Domain?
His master was truly generous. Back when Mu Yunyao had given this sword to Chen Chang'an, he hadn’t even been able to cultivate.
In other words, Chen Chang'an had been wandering around with an unparalleled treasure in hand all this time!
"Kid, even with the God-Slaying Sword, you can’t unleash its true power."
"With your strength, you can’t harm me in the slightest," Wang Zhiwei sneered.
"Is that so?"
Chen Chang'an smiled faintly. The next moment, Wang Zhiwei felt an inexplicable restraint envelop him, causing his expression to twist in shock.
Restraint?
How could he possibly feel restrained?
Was this his doing?
Impossible. There was no way this brat could possess such means.
"Hmph, mere tricks!"
"Break!"
Wang Zhiwei tried to summon the power within his body to shatter this restraint, only to find that he couldn’t mobilize his energy at all.
It was as though… his soul had been severed from his body. Though his consciousness remained, he had lost all control over his physical form.
"Your strength is truly formidable."
"I can’t hold you for long."
"So, I won’t waste any courtesy on you."
Boom!
The next instant!
The entire Tai Xuan Realm trembled once more as an overwhelming force erupted from Chen Chang'an’s body, causing both Mu Yunyao and Wang Zhiwei to pale in shock.
Tenfold! A hundredfold! A thousandfold!
Chen Chang'an’s power had surged a thousand times in the span of a breath!
Previously, Mu Yunyao had estimated Chen Chang'an’s strength to be at the Emperor level. But after his breakthrough to the Great Emperor’s peak, his combat power had likely reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm’s pinnacle.
Now, with a thousandfold amplification, what realm had he reached? Without seeing him act, even Mu Yunyao couldn’t be certain.
True Immortal Realm? Or perhaps Golden Immortal Realm?
Regardless, for someone at the Great Emperor’s peak to unleash such battle prowess was unheard of in the entire ancient Immortal Domain.
At least, based on Mu Yunyao’s knowledge, she had never encountered such a monstrous existence.
But even with this level of strength, she didn’t believe Chen Chang'an could kill Wang Zhiwei.
Yet in the next moment, Chen Chang'an thrust his sword forward—the God-Slaying Sword piercing straight into Wang Zhiwei’s body.
"Hahahaha!"
"Chen Chang'an, you truly are ignorant!"
"Do you really think that simply stabbing me with the God-Slaying Sword is enough to take my life?"
"You’re really—"
Before Wang Zhiwei could finish, his expression twisted in horror. He felt a terrifying force of death spreading endlessly through his body, his vitality rapidly draining away.
"You… what did you do to me?"
"What trick did you play?"
Wang Zhiwei was now utterly panicked. Never had he imagined that he, of all people, would suffer such grievous injuries in a place like the Tai Xuan Realm.
And worse… his very life was now at stake.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Chen Chang'an asked coldly, watching Wang Zhiwei’s panic-stricken face.
"Where?" Wang Zhiwei demanded frantically.
"You were too confident!"
"From the very beginning, you never saw me as a threat."
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have succeeded so easily."
"If you had truly regarded me as an opponent, an enemy, I wouldn’t have been able to kill you."
"But now… it’s too late for regrets!"
From the start, Chen Chang'an had known his own strength wasn’t enough to slay Wang Zhiwei. But he could exploit the flaws of human nature—
Wang Zhiwei’s arrogance.
When a person grows overly confident, they become careless, prone to fatal mistakes.
His dismissal of Chen Chang'an had become his own death warrant.
Had Wang Zhiwei not underestimated him, Chen Chang'an wouldn’t have been able to restrain him so effortlessly, and none of his subsequent moves would have succeeded.
In a true battle, the outcome would have been exactly as Mu Yunyao predicted—Chen Chang'an would survive, but the Tai Xuan Realm would be destroyed.
"Mu Yunyao!"
"Are you just going to stand there and let your disciple run wild?"
"Make him stop this at once!" Wang Zhiwei roared at her in fury.
"Master, don’t look at me. There’s no stopping it now."
"This death energy has already spread through his entire body. Only when his life ends will this power dissipate."
"Even I can’t do anything about it."
Chen Chang'an shrugged helplessly, feigning powerlessness.
"Sigh."
"You’ve thought too simply."
Mu Yunyao sighed and turned to Wang Zhiwei, whose eyes burned with rage.
"Someone of his cultivation level wouldn’t die so easily."
"What appeared in the Tai Xuan Realm was likely just an avatar."
"His true body is probably still cultivating within the Wang family."
"You’ve killed him, but not truly killed him."
Hearing this, Chen Chang'an was stunned. So that’s how it was? The ancient Immortal Domain truly was unfathomable.
But so what?
If he could slay an avatar, he could just as easily kill the true body in the future.
Chen Chang'an’s goal had always been to make his stance clear—and to draw the Wang family’s attention squarely onto himself.
"As expected of the Mu family’s young mistress. I didn’t think you’d see through it."
"The Wang family will not let this matter rest!"
"Never!"
Wang Zhiwei’s fury hadn’t diminished in the slightest. Even though this was merely an avatar, it had been split from his true body. Its destruction would still deal significant damage to his main form.
Chen Chang'an stepped forward, yanking the God-Slaying Sword free, and said coldly, "I’ll be waiting for you."
"Remember my name—Chen Chang'an."
"I will go to the ancient Immortal Domain. And every Wang family member I meet, I will kill."
With that, Wang Zhiwei’s lips trembled in rage, but no sound escaped. His vitality had completely vanished.
Thud!
At the same time, within the Wang family’s domain, Wang Zhiwei’s true body suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn you, Chen Chang'an!"
"I won’t let you get away with this!"
