That elder was shocked, utterly shocked!
Qingyang Town, now Qingyang City, was a remote backwater—how could someone with awakened martial spirit possibly emerge from such a place?
Shouldn't such talents have been scooped up by major sects long ago?
But in the midst of his astonishment,
A profound black sword light flashed,
Slicing across his neck!
A head promptly rolled to the ground.
The other two Martial King elders were being forced into retreat by Chu Tianyang,
Coupled with his enhanced physique,
Within the Martial King realm,
He was practically invincible!

Witnessing their companion's death,
The two elders grew even more terrified—the Chu family's strength far exceeded their expectations!
They had assumed it was merely a newly risen force,
Never imagining such formidable power,
Likely only a Martial Emperor could suppress them!
They immediately retreated at full speed,
Their only recourse now was to return to their sect and request the Martial Emperor ancestor's intervention!
Two figures approached from behind,
Both radiating Martial King-level auras!
"Two more Martial Kings?"
The elders were stunned.
The newcomers were none other than Li Zezhou and Zhou Tiansheng from Flame Sun City!
They had already pledged allegiance to the Chu family,
Becoming its vassals!
Their timely appearance was all part of Chu Tianyang's plan!
"Where might you two elders be off to?"
Zhou Tiansheng asked with a smile.
"Step aside! I advise you not to meddle!"
"Hahaha, apologies, but as vassals of the Chu family, we follow orders without question!"
Li Zezhou declared solemnly.
"You're Martial Kings yourselves—how could you submit to the Chu family, who are also just Martial Kings?"
One elder stared at them in disbelief.
Their expressions changed,
Could the Chu family possess something even more terrifying than Martial Kings?
The thought sent chills up their spines,
Cold sweat drenching their backs.
Chu Tianyang and Chu Jianchen flew over from behind,
Attacking without another word,
Li Zezhou and Zhou Tiansheng joining the fray,
The two elders now fighting desperately,
Unleashing their ultimate techniques,
Channeling the power of heaven and earth, each strike carrying devastating force!
But four hands proved too much for two,
The two Cangyan Sect Martial King elders were slain on the spot,
Their crimson blood staining the earth beyond Qingyang City!
"Three more Martial Kings fallen?"
The sight terrified Qingyang City's onlookers,
"The Chu family's might is truly fearsome—even Flame Sun City's Li and Zhou families have become their vassals!"
A nine-tiered black pagoda, massive as a mountain, descended from the sky,
The pagoda was peculiar,
Each of its seven eaves adorned with lifelike dragon heads,
While at its pinnacle,
A radiant white orb was embedded!
The pagoda exuded terrifying pressure,
Barreling straight toward Chu Tianyang's group!
Li Zezhou and Zhou Tiansheng felt their scalps tingle,
Beneath this pagoda, they sensed imminent annihilation!
"Could this be the Cangyan Sect's Martial Emperor making a move?"
Everyone in Qingyang City shared the same thought.
The pagoda's aura was simply too overwhelming!
Yet under everyone's astonished gazes,
Finally reducing to one chi in size,
Landing in Chu Tianyang's palm.
Chu Tianyang immediately bowed toward the thundercloud over the lake's center.
"This is my lifebound artifact. Take it to Cangyan Sect—from today onward, Cangyan Sect shall be Chu territory!"
Within the pitch-black thundercloud, lightning raged,
A mighty voice resonating forth.
"As you command, Beast God!"
Chu Tianyang's heart trembled,
The Beast God intended to annihilate Cangyan Sect!
But it was time for their Chu family to bare its fangs!
With their rising strength,
They'd gained deeper understanding of this world—
Divided into thirty-three celestial domains,
Their current location merely a small part of Qian Domain within one such domain!
Cangzhou's strongest forces were its five six-star sects,
Cangyan Sect being one,
Now it was the Chu family's turn to claim their place!
"That's the demon emperor's voice?"
"He actually plans to destroy Cangyan Sect? Remember, Cangyan Sect has its own Martial Emperor!"
"Can a single lifebound artifact truly eradicate a six-star sect?"
Li Zezhou and Zhou Tiansheng exchanged glances,
Wasn't this too reckless?
Failure would bring unimaginable consequences!
But Chu Tianyang had absolute faith in the Beast God,
If the Beast God entrusted his lifebound artifact for this mission,
Then conquering that six-star sect was assured!
"Gentlemen, care to join us?"
Chu Tianyang asked Li Zezhou and Zhou Tiansheng.
"No matter. You may remain in Qingyang City—it's safest here!"
Noting their hesitation,
Chu Tianyang didn't press further.
With several Chu elders, he embarked for Cangyan Sect!
News spread like wildfire to neighboring cities,
Should the Chu family succeed,
They'd become one of Cangzhou's five overlords!
"Success? Impossible! Cangyan Sect has millennia of history—how could the Chu family, barely a year old, compare?"
"Don't be so sure. Their guardian deity is rumored to have reached demon emperor realm—outcome's uncertain!"
"Even so, what difference would it make?"
"Their guardian beast isn't going—just sending his artifact. Can an artifact alone subdue all of Cangyan Sect?"
"If you believe that, you vastly underestimate a millennia-old sect!"
Most deemed the Chu family's move reckless,
Doomed to fail at Cangyan Sect.
Yet some powerful cultivators followed curiously,
Eager to witness the battle's outcome.
Chu Tianyang's group arrived at Cangyan Sect.
"Truly befitting a millennia-old sect—just its aura surpasses our Chu family!"
Surveying the sprawling architecture,
Chu Jianchen marveled.
"Quite majestic, but soon to be ours!"
Chu Tianyang stroked his beard approvingly.
He contemplated relocating the Chu family here.
"Halt! Outsiders trespassing on Cangyan Sect grounds face execution!"
A gatekeeping disciple shouted imperiously.
His aura remarkably potent!
"Six-star sect indeed! Even the gatekeeper acts like a Martial King!"
"We of Qingyang City's Chu family come bearing gifts for Cangyan Sect!"
Smiling, Chu Tianyang produced three square boxes from his spatial ring.
"Qingyang City's Chu family?"
"So you're the ones daring to oppose Cangyan Sect?"
"Audacious fools, coming here? Seeking death?"
The mere third-tier disciple glared coldly.
