Brilliant light shone.

In an instant, the entire Shui family was transformed into a vast ocean.

A raging river!

Submerging the entire clan.

However, Lin Chen was well aware that this so-called great river spectacle, with its rushing currents like ten thousand horses galloping, was nothing more than a magical illusion.

But many of the Shui family's servants were wailing.

Some were swept away by the flood.

Some were even hurled into the sky, then slammed down!

Within this great river, the four members of the Shui family moved as if on flat ground, seemingly unaffected by the magical illusion.

And Lin Chen?

He was certainly affected.

And the effect was not small.

Several thousand points of health were being lost every second.

In addition, the magical illusion could control Lin Chen, making him feel as if he were in the ocean... not only slowing his movements but also hindering his speech.

"Lin Chen, you killed my brother. Today, I, Shui Jingtang, will make you pay with your life!"

Finally, someone seized the opportunity to strike.

Shui Jingtang.

The youngest of the Shui family.

The youngest of the four Shui Jingtian brothers.

He raised his hand, and a water dragon soared through the waves, striking directly at Lin Chen's face.

Shui Jingtang was in the early stage of the Third Realm.

But his water-based spells were clearly not weak.

After all, he possessed the Shui family bloodline.

At this moment, Lin Chen finally moved!

A sword cry shattered the waves.

With just a single draw, the sword qi pierced through the water dragon.

"Fourth Brother, be careful!"

Shui Tianheng shouted.

As soon as Lin Chen's sword was drawn, the sword qi broke through the water dragon and rushed straight towards Shui Jingtang's face.

*Boom!*

After a single exchange, Shui Jingtang was knocked back dozens of meters.

"Worthy of being a powerhouse who has slain a demigod with his sword... Lin Chen, although you are only in the mid-stage of the Second Realm, your talent is the greatest I have ever seen! This sword must be the one you obtained in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, right? Such a strong inheritance is probably not weaker than Long Yandao's Ancient Gun Soul! But your power seems to be even stronger than Long Yandao's!"

Shui Tianheng had to admit that Lin Chen was indeed powerful.

He even knew that Long Yandao had inherited the Ancient Gun Soul.

Ancient Sword Spirit, Ancient Saber Soul, Ancient Gun Soul...

These three weapons corresponded to three positions.

The sword was the leader of weapons.

The saber was the commander of weapons.

The gun was the king of weapons!

Three inheritances.

Now, Lin Chen had obtained one.

Long Yandao had also obtained one.

Because of the difference in realms, Long Yandao was still the strongest in the human race.

But in terms of power, Shui Tianheng at least believed that Lin Chen's swordplay was stronger than what he had seen from Long Yandao!

Why was that?

Lin Chen knew.

Because...

He was a Sky Walker!

Swordplay was both physical and magical; a sword was a sharp weapon, naturally possessing physical attack power.

Sword qi was not magic, but a form of术道 (Shu Dao - art of spells), so it also had magical attack power.

Long Yandao was a pure strength player, specializing only in physical attacks.

That was the difference.

After all, a Sky Walker's growth in both physical and magical attacks reached an astonishing eightfold!

In addition, Lin Chen's attribute amplification was powerful enough.

His pet levels were also particularly high.

Therefore, his swordplay was stronger than anyone else's.

At least in terms of power, it already seemed to be on par with Long Yandao.

But it had to be known that Lin Chen was only at the peak of the Second Realm.

And Long Yandao?

He was already at the peak of the Third Realm!

"But today, you cannot break my Water Spirit Pearl. Who in the world can control this滔天洪水 (Taotian Hongshui - raging flood)? Haha..." Shui Tianheng laughed wildly!

Then, the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand shone even brighter.

The damage Lin Chen received exceeded ten thousand!

Ten thousand per second!

At this rate, he couldn't withstand it.

"Sword One, Myriad Qi Arise!"

Lin Chen didn't hesitate.

The sword qi on his body rapidly condensed.

The cooldown was over.

Then... there was only that one sword.

The strongest sword!

I have a sword.

It does not move mountains or fill seas.

Nor does it cleave the heavens, sun, moon, mountains, or rivers!

But, this sword of mine destroys all things!

Breaks all laws!

Wherever the sword's edge reaches, there is only ruin!

The sword's name...

"Myriad Swords Return to Emptiness!"

The myriad sword qis on Lin Chen's body condensed within ten seconds. The sword light even formed a sword net, preventing the Shui family from daring to attack.

But, the Shui family didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Shui Tianheng even snorted and sneered, "Wasn't it this sword that cut down Fire Ember back then? Do you think I, Shui Tianheng, am like Fire Ember? I'll see, my Water Spirit Pearl... uh!"

He didn't finish his words.

But, Lin Chen's sword had already struck!

One sword, myriad laws return to emptiness!

*Boom!*

Heaven and earth trembled.

The tremor was even felt at Dragon Submerging Mountain, hundreds of miles away.

At this time, he was leading the Dragon Abyss Army, having just cleared out a noble clan.

Then, everyone saw a flash of sword light in the distant sky, followed by a tremor in the air...

"So strong!"

Long Qian Shan was shocked.

Lin Chen...

It must be him!

Besides him, who else in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom wielded a sword with such power?

Good fellow!

He remembered that parting from Lin Chen in Fallen Leaf City.

At that time, Long Qian Shan was still confident that he could fight Lin Chen.

But now...

He could no longer reach his heights.

To put it simply, it was like two people racing cars; Long Qian Shan and Lin Chen were neck and neck before, but now he couldn't even see Lin Chen's taillights.

Powerful!

And the Water Spirit Pearl that Shui Tianheng was so confident in, the dharma image covering the entire Shui family mansion, was directly shattered by this sword!

The dharma image was gone.

Even the place where Shui Tianheng was located exploded with a boom!

"Ah!"

"Father..."

"Father, save me!"

"..."

Shui Tianheng climbed out of the ruins.

The Water Spirit Pearl in his hand had fallen.

Lin Chen picked it up.

Then, Lin Chen put it in his sleeve.

This thing was powerful!

It could actually withstand his Myriad Swords Return to Emptiness.

Even Shui Tianheng was only injured.

Moreover, his health only dropped by about 30%.

Such powerful defense was definitely a treasure!

At least at the treasure level.

Perhaps even more!

Although Shui Tianheng was fine, his three sons had all become souls.

All dead.

"Hmph, a Water Spirit Pearl, three pseudo-Third Realm sons... is that what you relied on? Did you think you could scare me?" Lin Chen had actually noticed when that sword qi had broken through Shui Jingtang's spell and knocked him back that Shui Tianheng's three sons were all in the pseudo-Third Realm!

He guessed that they had forcibly and temporarily elevated their realms using the Water Spirit Pearl.

The three of them, plus Shui Tianheng, plus the protection of the Water Spirit Pearl, couldn't even withstand this one sword of his!

What kind of Third Realm was that?

Too weak.

"Pfft..."

At this time, Shui Tianheng's realm was unaffected.

But his strength was clearly weakening.

Because the Water Spirit Pearl had been taken away by Lin Chen.

He spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

His whole person aged by more than ten years.

His face was full of wrinkles.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be so strong... even the Water... Water Spirit Pearl can't do anything to you!" At this moment, Shui Tianheng was very agitated.

To be exact, he was agitated by failure.

Perhaps indignation was more appropriate.

He had thought Lin Chen was strong.

But he hadn't expected that a mere Second Realm peak fellow could be so outrageously strong!

"Judging by your attributes alone, you can probably compare to some Third Realm peaks... It seems that your attributes are very powerful!"

Shui Tianheng panicked, recovered a little, then looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Is your sea of consciousness as powerful as your attributes?"

The next moment, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Shui Tianheng froze.

"Yang You Rong!"

Lin Chen spoke.

A scream pierced the night sky!

"Ah!"

Yang You Rong emerged from Lin Chen's waistband.

The next moment, she went straight towards the front of Lin Chen.

And she directly illuminated Shui Tianheng's soul.

"One Sword Slices Sun and Moon!"

Lin Chen had already gathered momentum. Without hesitation, he slashed out a sword towards Shui Tianheng's soul.

*Boom!*

Shui Tianheng's soul disappeared.

The next moment, his body came alive.

"Pfft..."

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Shui Tianheng's eyes were filled with despair at this moment: "Ghost Emperor... Lin Chen, you can even control ghosts. You..."

He obviously hadn't expected that Lin Chen was not only powerful in swordplay.

Powerful in attributes.

Even...

He could even exorcise ghosts!

Moreover, he was exorcising the Ghost Emperor!

Just now, Yang You Rong had instantly found the location of his soul.

And even grabbed a handful of his soul!

About 10% of his sea of consciousness had necrosed.

Then, Lin Chen slashed out with his sword.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shui Tianheng, whose sneak attack had failed, almost instantly returned his soul to his body.

Lin Chen's sword missed!

But, just as Shui Tianheng was about to say something, he froze.

Because he found that Lin Chen's body and facial expressions were also frozen in place.

The next moment...

His sea of consciousness shook!

Shui Tianheng saw another Lin Chen...

That was Lin Chen's soul!

"Death God's Single Blade!"

Lin Chen's voice echoed in his mind.

*Boom!*

80% of his sea of consciousness instantly burned!

Shui Tianheng, who was already injured, died instantly!

His whole person froze in place.

Even his eyes, in the moments before they completely extinguished, still held an incredible look...

Then, Shui Tianheng's soul was reunited with his sons.

The whole family, neatly together.

It was night now.

The four men's wraiths also appeared very quickly.

Yang You Rong devoured their wraiths in front of the four souls of the father and sons!

Souls and spirits.

The root of a person.

Now, the spirits were gone.

Only four souls remained.

Lin Chen was not polite, devouring them one by one, and finally it was Shui Tianheng's turn.

"Lin Chen, you... how can you do everything?" Shui Tianheng was dumbfounded.

Only his soul remained.

But, he was still very persistent.

He didn't understand.

Why?

Why on earth?

Swordplay.

Exorcism.

Even soul attacks...

Lin Chen was almost omnipotent!

He had every move!

What was terrifying was that they were all forbidden spells!

Shui Tianheng knew that he had lost without injustice...

"Because I'm a Blue Star person!"

Lin Chen grinned.

Blue Star person.

New World online game.

Sky Walker!

Time unique!

Even Zhang Tianwei, the ceiling of ordinary people, was greatly shocked when he knew that Lin Chen was a Sky Walker.

This showed that Sky Walkers were indeed very strong.

Proficient in all classes' skills.

Proficient in all classes' weapons.

Proficient in all classes' equipment!

As long as Lin Chen wanted, there was nothing he couldn't do!

The Shui family was completely destroyed!

At this time, Lin Chen took out the Water Spirit Pearl...

How to use this thing?

He tried to light it up with magic.

As a result, a stream of water splashed all over him.

"Hehe, so it needs spiritual energy!"

Lin Chen found that the Water Spirit Pearl lit up for a while, but not completely... it was like a light bulb, the voltage was not enough to power it.

No wonder the Shui family would spare no effort to plunder all kinds of resources.

The Fire family was the same!

It seemed that there were also Fire Spirit Pearls, Metal Spirit Pearls, Earth Spirit Pearls, and Wood Spirit Pearls.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth!

Five elements.

Just corresponding to the five families.

Now four of the five families had been destroyed.

The four pearls should all be there.

There was also a Wood Spirit Pearl... Mu Qingyi definitely knew.

"The Jin family is in Ying Tian Province, right? It seems that the Metal Spirit Pearl should be there."

Lin Chen looked north.

But he did not leave immediately.

Because, Long Qian Shan had arrived with his men.

"Reporting to the King of Men, the remaining seven marquis families in Dragon Tiger Province have been wiped out. The remaining remnant forces of some earls, viscounts, and barons have united to occupy a city and defend it." As soon as Long Qian Shan arrived, he reported the battle situation.

"Go."

Lin Chen acted directly.

Autumn Pond City.

Dragon Tiger Province, one of the famous cities.

However, it had now been occupied by the allied forces of the nobles of Dragon Tiger Province.

These nobles were even attempting to occupy the city and secede, resisting the imperial court!

Mainly because the imperial court was too ruthless!

Completely giving the nobles no way out.

They wanted to kill them all!

They didn't even have the qualifications to surrender.

Then, they could only unite and resist to the death.

The city walls of Autumn Pond City were very strong.

But, suddenly a sword flew from the sky.

*Boom!*

With just one sword, the city gate exploded.

The city entrance was shattered!

Lin Chen stood in the air, at this moment like a god.

Looking down on all living beings!

"Kill!"

Long Qian Shan commanded the army and attacked.

And Lin Chen delivered another slash.

One slash cleaves the firmament!

*Boom!*

The blade aura pierced through the void, breaking through three thousand armors!

The allied forces of the nobles were mostly killed by this slash!

It was simply crushing!

"King of Men!"

"King of Men!"

"..."

The morale of the Dragon Abyss Army soared.

Even many rogue cultivators who came to watch the battle shouted Lin Chen's title at this moment!

With one battle, Lin Chen completely established his position as the King of Men in Dragon Tiger Province.

Then, he faced the many rogue cultivators.

In the earnest gazes of the crowd, he no longer looked at the already exhausted resisting forces.

"The era of the nobles has passed. From now on, the human race, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, has only one goal... the Third-Level Battlefield! Our human race vows not to give up, and will never give up, even... the human race must prosper, restore the glory of ancient times! Anyone, only has this one goal: revitalization!"

Lin Chen's voice spread for miles.

Countless rogue cultivators were excited when they heard this.

But, it wasn't over yet.

Lin Chen said loudly: "From now on, all Dragon Spirit Kingdom cultivators can receive cultivation resources according to their level and realm! The strong can establish sects, the weak can mine and produce... From now on, our human race will work together and will definitely point our swords at the Fourth-Level Battlefield!"

"The King of Men is wise, the human race will prosper!"

Someone shouted loudly after Lin Chen's speech.

Then, outside the entire Ball Pond City, for hundreds of miles, the sound was endless!

"The King of Men is wise, the human race will prosper!"

"The King of Men is wise, the human race will prosper!"

"..."

And thousands of miles away in Lingnan Province, there was a similar scene in the provincial capital.

However, the person enjoying the worship of the people was Long Yandao.

"The King of Guns is wise, the human race will prosper!"

Listening to these exciting slogans, Long Yandao, this逼王 (Bi Wang - forcing king)...

Don't mention how satisfied and enjoyable he felt!

"This is the human race I want!"

Long Yandao's heart was shouting!

This time, I didn't cut the chapter off to make you uncomfortable, right?

It just happened that the word count was up!

This is the second update today.

There are two more to come!

How do I feel like I can finish updating before 6 pm?
