Upon hearing these words, the members of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect were not only furious but also looked at Chen Chang'an with disdain.
A mere quasi-Immortal Realm cultivator actually dared to spout such arrogant words?
"Hahahaha!"
"Good, how audacious!"
"Kid, do you even know where you are?"
The Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect's Ancestor wasn't the least bit angry. In his eyes, this was nothing more than a ridiculous joke.
There was no need to lose his temper over some ignorant fool who didn't know his own limits.
"Chen Chang'an?"
"That name… it feels somewhat familiar…"
"It's you!"
"You're the Grand Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect?"
The Sect Master of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect suddenly realized—this person was none other than the Huan Hua Immortal Sect's Grand Elder!
"Grand Elder?"
"This kid?" The Ancestor frowned, deeply puzzled.
"Ancestor, I haven't had the chance to report this to you yet."
"For some reason, this man became the Grand Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect, and moreover…"
The Sect Master recounted the events at the Crimson Moon Valley, which even made the Ancestor view Chen Chang'an in a new light.
He knew of Chen Wanqing—she had once been one of his targets for a cultivation furnace, but her strength had deterred him from acting rashly.
For someone as stubborn as Chen Wanqing to appoint Chen Chang'an as Grand Elder, placing him above her, this man must possess extraordinary qualities.
Could it be… because he's handsome?
Did Chen Wanqing take a liking to him?
The Ancestor believed this was the most plausible explanation. Otherwise, how could a brat like him become Grand Elder and outrank her?
"I never expected Chen Wanqing to be that kind of person."
"Hahahaha!"
"If I had known earlier, I might as well have made a move back then. Perhaps the Huan Hua Immortal Sect would have already merged with ours." The Ancestor laughed heartily.
Hearing his words, Chen Chang'an immediately understood—this old bastard had completely misunderstood the situation.
"I don’t have time for your nonsense."
"Freeze!"
With that single word, the entire Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect fell into dead silence, as if time itself had stopped.
"Time stop—quite handy."
Chen Chang'an activated the power of the Time Law, freezing time across the entire sect.
With a mere thought, countless sword energies erupted from his body, surging toward the disciples of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect.
"Bastard!"
"I'll kill you!"
In mere moments, Chen Chang'an had slaughtered eighty percent of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect's disciples, including several elders who had already met their demise.
Unfortunately, Chen Chang'an's mastery over the Law was still weak. Before he could finish off everyone, the Sect Master and elders had already broken free from the time freeze.
"Hmm?"
"Such a short duration?"
"Next time, I should prioritize killing the stronger ones first."
Chen Chang'an shook his head regretfully. He had been too careless—this was a matter of inexperience.
Still, realizing it now wasn’t too late.
As Chen Chang'an pondered, the Sect Master and Ancestor of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect launched their attacks.
Boom!
Boom!
Their strikes landed squarely on Chen Chang'an, and the two exchanged glances, their hearts swelling with triumph.
"Having fun?"
Yet Chen Chang'an's voice sent chills down their spines.
He stood not far away, completely unharmed—their attacks had done nothing to him.
"Even without my earlier trick, I can still kill you."
"Impossible!"
"This can't be real!"
"Who are you? You're not at the quasi-Immortal Realm!"
"Are you… an Immortal King?"
"No… a peak Immortal King?"
The Ancestor and Sect Master stared at Chen Chang'an in terror. The man before them was likely a peak Immortal King-level expert.
How could the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect possibly provoke someone like this?
But… how did the Huan Hua Immortal Sect gain such a powerhouse?
"Senior!"
"We beg your forgiveness! Please spare us!"
"Yes, yes! From now on, we’ll serve you loyally, obeying your every command. Please, spare our lives!"
After witnessing Chen Chang'an's overwhelming strength, the two immediately knelt and begged for mercy, devoid of any dignity.
Meanwhile, the surviving members of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, now freed from the time freeze, stared in disbelief.
"Is that… the Sect Master and Ancestor?"
"Why… why are they kneeling before him?"
"No, I refuse to believe it. How could they do this?"
"I must be dreaming. Yes, this has to be a dream."
"They’re the Sect Master and Ancestor!"
The two men's actions shattered the disciples' faith. The revered figures they had looked up to were nothing but cowards?
"See? Even your ordinary disciples have more backbone than you two."
"How could spineless worms like you become a Sect Master and Ancestor?"
"Disgraceful!"
Chen Chang'an gave them a contemptuous glance before striking them down without hesitation.
"You lot have courage, but unfortunately, I won’t let you live."
Chen Chang'an's principle was simple—either don’t act, or act decisively. He would never give his enemies a chance to retaliate.
Just like that, the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, one of the five great immortal sects of the Profound Heaven Domain, was wiped out without a trace, unknown to the world.
"Xiao Yao, you're back? Where’s Big Brother? He hasn’t returned yet?"
"What’s wrong?"
"What’s wrong? Look at her—she’s having another episode!"
Da Huang was frantic. Shortly after Chen Chang'an left, Qingluan's cold energy erupted once more, this time with terrifying intensity.
The situation left Da Huang helpless—he could only barely suppress it, but with his current strength, it was impossible to control.
Xiao Yao was equally shocked. "I don’t know! The Grand Elder told me to come back first."
"What do we do now?"
"Should we try together?"
"Alright, let’s try."
Both Da Huang and Xiao Yao were at the peak of the quasi-Immortal Realm, but even their combined efforts couldn’t hold back the cold energy for long.
"The cold energy erupted?"
Just as the two were about to lose control, Chen Chang'an finally appeared.
"Big Brother, you’re back just in time! Hurry, or this girl won’t make it!" Da Huang urged anxiously.
"Why is it so strong?"
"Da Huang, since you know about the Extreme Yin Saint Body, do you know how to suppress this cold energy?" Chen Chang'an asked with a frown.
"There’s one method—yin-yang fusion to neutralize the cold."
"Big Brother, I’m afraid this task falls to you."
"Lucky you." Da Huang said with a mix of envy and resignation.
Hmm?
Is this… really appropriate?
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
