Chapter 1 First Time in History

The eight great Celestial Sovereigns descended upon the land of Jiuzhou simultaneously. This was a first in history.

Unprecedented, and likely never to be repeated!

"Hey, Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang, what's going on with you? You can't even handle a group of ants from Jiuzhou?"

"The Heavenly Dao in your hands is getting worse and worse. You actually allowed the Jiuzhou ants to wipe out your entire army. It's unbelievable."

"You're one of the eight great Celestial Sovereigns, yet you're so useless?"

...

As soon as the other seven Celestial Sovereigns appeared, they mercilessly mocked Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang.

Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang looked embarrassed and said through gritted teeth, "I asked you down here, not to listen to your sarcastic remarks. Hurry up and work together to kill this kid, lest the Divine Emperor blame us for our incompetence!"

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Chen Xiao.

"Work together? Are you kidding me?"

A Celestial Sovereign with three eyes curled his lip in disdain. "Is there anyone worthy of all eight of us working together? I say, Lin Lang, your strength has declined too much. You guys just watch from the side, and see how this Celestial Sovereign takes action and deals with this kid!"

After speaking, the Three-Eyed Celestial Sovereign jumped directly in front of Chen Xiao and said proudly, "Kid, do you have any last words to say? This is your last chance. Once I make my move, it will be too late for you to say them!"

"Then I'll give you a piece of advice. I suggest you listen to Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang. You should all attack together, so as not to waste my time. My time is very precious."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

"Yo, this kid is interesting, crazy enough, I like it! Hahahaha!"

The Three-Eyed Celestial Sovereign grinned.

However, halfway through his laughter, it stopped abruptly, and the Three-Eyed Celestial Sovereign's expression became extremely serious.

At the same time, the third eye on his forehead flashed, and a golden light shot towards Chen Xiao.

"Hmph, petty tricks!"

Chen Xiao flicked his hand and dispersed the golden light, looking at the opponent with cold eyes.

The Three-Eyed Celestial Sovereign was slightly stunned, squinting his eyes and stroking his chin. "This kid is indeed a bit strange. No wonder you can't handle him, Lin Lang! He controls the power of heaven and earth, hmm, not bad, not bad, a worthy opponent to excite me!"

"Celestial Sovereign Three-Eyes, now is not the time for you to show off. I said, everyone attack together, and solve this kid as soon as possible, lest it lead to complications and incur the Divine Emperor's wrath!"

Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang reminded him.

"Alright, then let's all attack together and solve this problem as soon as possible!"

Celestial Sovereign Three-Eyes accepted the suggestion of Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang.

Seeing this, the other Celestial Sovereigns didn't say much and stepped forward, ready to fight.

The Jiuzhou Alliance, including all the humans in front of the live broadcast, were all sweating for Chen Xiao.

After all, the scene of Chen Xiao fighting Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang was still vivid in their minds.

Chen Xiao was already struggling to deal with just one Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang, but now seven equally powerful Celestial Sovereigns had arrived. Could Chen Xiao still hold on?

However, facing the eight great Celestial Sovereigns, Chen Xiao laughed for some reason.

"Hehe, it's good that you're all attacking together. What I was most worried about was that you wouldn't attack together!"

Hearing this, the eight great Celestial Sovereigns were taken aback.

Because the meaning in Chen Xiao's words seemed to imply that he wanted them to attack together.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard Chen Xiao shout in a deep voice, "Heaven and Earth, Qiankun, severed by a single sword!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao collapsed all his energy and unleashed a sword strike!

The power between heaven and earth converged into the God-Slaying Sword with a very violent posture, and then burst out with this sword that Chen Xiao swung!

Swish—

Only a golden line appeared in the air.

And then... it was all over.

Chen Xiao's sword caused the eight great Celestial Sovereigns to fall at the same time, their bodies and souls scattered!

Until the moment of their fall, they didn't even know what had happened.

"This... is it over?"

The people present, as well as all the humans in front of the live broadcast, were all dumbfounded and speechless.

It was that simple?!

If they had known it was this simple, they wouldn't have worried!

However, in reality, this sword was not as simple as it seemed.

Chen Xiao used this sword to kill the eight great Celestial Sovereigns, but Chen Xiao only had this one sword!

After this sword felled all eight great Celestial Sovereigns, Chen Xiao's body was like a candle in the wind, swaying precariously, and finally, he fell to the ground.

"Chen Xiao!"

Everyone shouted and flew towards Chen Xiao. Just before Chen Xiao hit the ground, Grand Master Ziwei arrived in time, allowing Chen Xiao to fall into her arms.

It turned out that Chen Xiao's sword had not only collapsed all the energy in his body but had also overdrawn all his physical strength!

That sword was either success or death!

If that sword had not felled all eight great Celestial Sovereigns, then Chen Xiao would have only met with death.

Because, after performing that sword strike, Chen Xiao wouldn't be able to fight again for at least twelve hours.

Not to mention fighting, he couldn't even move, otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen headfirst in mid-air.

"Are you alright?"

Ziwei asked with concern.

At this time, everyone had already gathered around, looking at Chen Xiao with nervous expressions.

"Not a big problem, but I may need to rest for a while."

Chen Xiao said weakly.

This Qiankun Sword Strike was something he had planned long ago... but, in his plan, this sword was to be used against the Divine Emperor Cang Lan, not against the eight great Celestial Sovereigns.

However, after learning from Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang that there were a total of eight great Celestial Sovereigns, Chen Xiao had to change his plan.

He had a chance to kill Celestial Sovereign Lin Lang before, but it would have consumed a lot of physical strength. If the other seven great Celestial Sovereigns came, he might not be able to use the Qiankun Sword Strike.

Therefore, he lured the eight great Celestial Sovereigns to attack together!

His plan worked, but the crisis had not been resolved.

"Now, it's time to test our luck."

Chen Xiao said weakly, "If we're lucky, the Divine Emperor Cang Lan will descend on Jiuzhou in twelve hours, then I can still fight him."

"But if we're unlucky, and the Divine Emperor Cang Lan comes now, then everything we've done before will be in vain."

Hearing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression.

Grand Master Ziwei comforted him, "My love, now is not the time to think about these things. Just focus on recovering your strength. Even if the Divine Emperor Cang Lan comes now, you don't need to be afraid. We're still here!"

"That's right, we're still here. Even if we're not his match, it's still no problem for us to deal with him for a while."

Duan Yanzhuo said.

Chen Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, "There have already been too many sacrifices. I don't want to see anyone make meaningless sacrifices again."

As he spoke, thick clouds suddenly rolled up in the sky, forming a huge vortex.

Lightning flashed in the vortex, as if the sky were about to collapse...
