The Mu Family’s Ancestor suddenly burst into laughter, leaving everyone else utterly bewildered.
Had the Ancestor lost his mind from anger?
"Chen Chang'an!"
"You truly have guts!"
"And you’re reliable too!"
"Though I didn’t like what you said earlier, I admire your character."
"Facing a powerhouse without fear, daring to express every emotion you feel."
"That girl Yun Yao won’t suffer any losses following you. I believe you’ll treat her well."
"However..."
The Mu Family’s Ancestor’s expression abruptly darkened as he said solemnly, "I also hope you remember—before you have the strength, it’s best to stay low-key."
"Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering."
"Not every powerhouse is as easygoing or appreciates such blunt honesty."
"Be careful, or you might invite fatal disaster."
As for the Ancestor’s warning, not only did Chen Chang'an pay no heed, even Da Huang found it unnecessary.
With someone like Chen Chang'an, who tailored his approach to each person, would he ever suffer losses? Da Huang wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.
As for the so-called "fatal disaster," that was even more absurd.
Who could possibly kill him?
His life was tougher than steel.
"There’s no need for you to worry about that, Senior."
"With my strength, self-preservation shouldn’t be an issue," Chen Chang'an replied with a faint smile.
Hmm?
His strength? Self-preservation isn’t an issue?
The Mu Family members exchanged puzzled glances. At the peak of the Immortal King realm, Chen Chang'an had indeed stepped into the ranks of powerhouses.
But that was merely stepping into the ranks—far from being invincible.
How could Chen Chang'an speak with such arrogance?
"Hahaha!"
"I’d like to see just how capable you are at ‘self-preservation,’" one of the Mu Family’s elders stepped forward.
Though he hadn’t yet reached the Immortal Emperor realm, he was at the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm—a full two major realms above Chen Chang'an.
"You’re no match for me. Let’s just drop it," Chen Chang'an said indifferently.
"Arrogant!"
"How utterly arrogant!"
"Even if Chen Chang'an’s combat power is heaven-defying, he’s only at the peak of the Immortal King realm! How dare he look down on our Fifth Elder?"
"Exactly! The Fifth Elder is a genuine peak Immortal Venerable, with combat power rivaling the Immortal Emperor realm."
"Even some ordinary early-stage Immortal Emperors might not necessarily be his match."
"The Fifth Elder was a genius in his time. Chen Chang'an is way too full of himself!"
Chen Chang'an’s words caused an uproar in the Mu Family. This was the Fifth Elder, a peak Immortal Venerable!
He even had a record of fighting an Immortal Emperor to a standstill. And yet, Chen Chang'an claimed he wasn’t his opponent?
"If my brother-in-law says so, then the Fifth Elder probably isn’t a match for him," Mu Yunhai said with unwavering confidence in Chen Chang'an.
"Are you sure Chen Chang'an is that strong?" Mu Tianye asked doubtfully.
"Not sure, but... my brother-in-law is a smart man."
Hmm?
Mu Yunhai’s words left Mu Tianye momentarily confused. What did being a smart man have to do with anything?
But soon, Mu Tianye understood. A smart man might act arrogant or show off, but he’d never put himself in a position where he couldn’t back up his words.
If Chen Chang'an dared to speak like this, it likely meant he truly didn’t fear the Fifth Elder’s strength—or perhaps, he had absolute confidence in defeating him.
"Hmph!"
"Let’s see just what gives you the right to say such things."
The Fifth Elder’s face darkened. Before anyone else could speak, his figure blurred as he appeared right in front of Chen Chang'an.
Seeing this, the Mu Family’s Ancestor’s expression shifted. Clearly, the Fifth Elder was truly furious now. If he struck too hard and injured Chen Chang'an, it would spell trouble.
Boom!
Yet, in the next second, when the Fifth Elder’s palm struck Chen Chang'an, the entire Mu Family was left dumbfounded.
Even the Fifth Elder himself stared at Chen Chang'an in shock.
No dodging, no evading—he had simply taken the hit head-on!
Even more terrifying, Chen Chang'an hadn’t moved an inch, nor had he even channeled any defensive energy. He had just... tanked it?
What kind of monstrous physique was this?
"I already told you—you’re no match for me."
"Why bother?"
Chen Chang'an sighed helplessly before an overwhelming aura erupted from his body. In the next instant, the Fifth Elder was sent flying, blasted away by Chen Chang'an’s sheer presence alone.
"How is this possible?"
"You’re only at the peak of the Immortal King realm! Even if your combat power is heaven-defying, reaching the Immortal Venerable level would already be monstrous!"
"Why... why couldn’t I even withstand your aura?"
"Just... what is your true strength?"
Though Chen Chang'an’s aura had sent the Fifth Elder flying, it hadn’t injured him. Yet, this alone was enough to shock everyone present.
"I can fight Immortal Emperors."
"Of course, if I go all out, killing a few isn’t difficult."
"Beyond the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, it might get a bit tricky."
Chen Chang'an’s words left the Mu Family members frozen in disbelief. What did he mean by that?
At the peak of the Immortal King realm, he was invincible below the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm?
No—that wasn’t it!
Chen Chang'an could kill those below the fifth level, but he hadn’t said he would lose to those above it.
Killing and losing were two entirely different things.
"Chen Chang'an, I... would like to test your strength. What do you say?" the Mu Family’s Ancestor asked solemnly.
"Ancestor!"
"You’re at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm!"
"Isn’t this... inappropriate?" Mu Tianye interjected hastily.
"What’s inappropriate? I won’t harm him," the Ancestor replied with a smile.
"Not at all!"
"I don’t see any issue with it either."
"Truth be told, I’ve never fought a true peak Immortal Emperor before."
"I’d like to see just how big the gap between us is."
"Senior, would you be willing to go all out?"
Go all out?
Now even the Mu Family’s Ancestor hesitated. Was this kid looking down on him too?
Did he even understand what it meant for a peak Immortal Emperor to unleash their full power?
"Chen Chang'an, don’t be reckless."
"A peak Immortal Emperor going all out is no trivial matter," Mu Tianye urged.
"I know. That’s exactly why I want the Ancestor to go all out."
"Otherwise, this duel would lose its meaning."
Seeing Chen Chang'an’s insistence, the Mu Family’s Ancestor chuckled.
"It’s been many years since a junior has dared to ask me to go all out."
"Very well, I accept."
"However, this place isn’t suitable for me to unleash my full power."
"Let’s relocate."
With a wave of his hand, the Ancestor conjured a spatial rift.
"We’ll enter this pocket dimension. There, I can fight without restraint."
Hmm?
What kind of space was this?
Though puzzled, Chen Chang'an didn’t refuse. With a nod, the two figures vanished into the mysterious rift.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.

And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
