Chapter 516

A golden light flashed, and a figure appeared in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"You're back! And you've successfully advanced to the Divine King Realm!" The Divine King of Wind, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly perceived the change in Jian Chen's cultivation. His face filled with joy and excitement as he exclaimed, "Congratulations, Jian Chen! You have stepped into the Divine King Realm!"

Following his words, the Divine King of Fire and the Divine King of Thunder also emerged from the mansion, their gazes fixed on Jian Chen with expressions of awe and shock.

They were all clear about Jian Chen's path to advancement. To break through to the Divine King Realm with the Chaotic Body meant overcoming an immense challenge, a feat that usually held only a minuscule chance of success. Countless individuals who possessed the Chaotic Body had perished in their attempts to advance.

Yet, Jian Chen had succeeded. This not only meant his strength would undergo an earth-shattering transformation, but it also suggested that Jian Chen's future achievements would be even more astonishing.

Jian Chen nodded with a smile, acknowledging the three Divine Kings. He then looked at the Divine King of Wind and said, "Senior Wind, please call together the elders and those above the God Realm from the Heaven-Fighting Clan. I need to explain something to them."

"Alright, I'll go gather them immediately!" The Divine King of Wind instantly understood that Jian Chen had important matters to discuss. He immediately began sending out messages.

Soon, the elders of the Heaven-Fighting Clan and all cultivators above the God Realm quickly gathered in the courtyard. They numbered over five hundred, not counting the countless disciples below the God Realm.

In total, the Heaven-Fighting Clan had over a thousand members. Most of them were still at the Divine Realm or even lower.

When everyone was assembled, Jian Chen looked at the Heaven-Fighting Clan members, who seemed to view him with a mix of awe and respect. He said, "Everyone, I am Jian Chen. You might have heard of me. The Heaven-Fighting Clan and I are bound by a certain destiny, so I have come here to help you resolve the clan's crisis."

"Today, I have successfully broken through to the Divine King Realm, and my strength has greatly increased. I now have the confidence to confront the Holy Light Tower. Therefore, you no longer need to fear the Holy Light Tower." Jian Chen's voice was calm, yet filled with an undeniable confidence that resonated through the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the elders and members of the Heaven-Fighting Clan were overcome with emotion. Many even had tears welling up in their eyes. The threat of the Holy Light Tower had been like a massive mountain pressing down on them, causing countless members to live in constant fear and anxiety. They had never truly known peace.

Now, with Jian Chen's declaration, the mountain that had weighed on their hearts for so long instantly disappeared, replaced by immense relief and joy.

"However, although the crisis of the Holy Light Tower is resolved, your Heaven-Fighting Clan is still too weak. Even the weakest clan on the Cloud Continent can easily wipe out your entire clan. This is a very dangerous situation for the Heaven-Fighting Clan."

Jian Chen continued, "Hence, I will now teach you a cultivation method that can help you strengthen your clan." He raised his hand, and a jade slip appeared. With a flick of his finger, the jade slip flew directly into the hands of the Divine King of Wind.

"This is the Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array, a unique cultivation method of the Heaven-Fighting Clan. Every clan member can cultivate it. However, the Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array is divided into many layers. The higher the layer, the stronger the battle formation that can be formed," Jian Chen explained.

The Divine King of Wind immediately began to examine the jade slip. His expression quickly changed, revealing intense shock, then overwhelming ecstasy, and finally a profound sense of awe.

He had personally taught Jian Chen the Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array, so he was intimately familiar with it. However, the cultivation method contained within the jade slip that Jian Chen had given him was far more profound than the one he knew. It was a complete and perfect version, with countless layers more intricate and powerful than the simplified version he possessed.

"This... this is the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array!" The Divine King of Wind exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement as he held the jade slip tightly, his body shaking uncontrollably.

The other Divine Kings and elders of the Heaven-Fighting Clan also looked at the jade slip with burning desire in their eyes. They had all heard of the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array, a legendary cultivation method that could enable the Heaven-Fighting Clan to sweep across all lands.

However, over countless years, the complete version of this array had been lost, leaving only a greatly simplified and incomplete version circulating within the clan.

"The Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array has been refined by me, making it much easier to cultivate. As long as every clan member diligently cultivates, the strength of the Heaven-Fighting Clan will certainly be greatly enhanced," Jian Chen said calmly.

He then paused for a moment before continuing, "But the Heaven-Fighting Clan is not the only force on the Cloud Continent. There are many powerful clans and sects here. The Heaven-Fighting Clan's current strength is still too weak. Even with the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array, if you encounter a truly powerful force, you still won't be able to resist."

"Therefore, I plan to move the Heaven-Fighting Clan to another continent, a place where there are no other clans or sects, allowing the Heaven-Fighting Clan to develop and grow in peace."

"Move to another continent?"

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Fighting Clan members were stunned. Even the Divine King of Wind, the Divine King of Fire, and the Divine King of Thunder were surprised.

"Where are you planning to move the Heaven-Fighting Clan?" the Divine King of Wind asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

Jian Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a place you've been to before, a place filled with abundant spiritual qi where you can cultivate freely without any external interference or threats."

"Have we been there before?" The Divine King of Wind, the Divine King of Fire, and the Divine King of Thunder exchanged glances, their minds racing as they tried to recall such a place. Suddenly, a thought struck the Divine King of Wind, and he exclaimed, "Could it be the Spirit King's Pagoda?"

Jian Chen nodded slightly. "Exactly. It's the Spirit King's Pagoda."

"The Spirit King's Pagoda is actually a mid-grade divine artifact, a space artifact. I am the master of this artifact, and I can control everything within it. There are many abundant spiritual veins inside, making it an excellent place for cultivation. Moreover, the Spirit King's Pagoda has its own self-regulating system, which can provide a continuous stream of spiritual qi, ensuring that the spiritual qi inside will never dry up."

"What's more, the Spirit King's Pagoda is connected to the spiritual qi of the entire Cloud Continent, which will not only accelerate the spiritual qi regeneration within the pagoda but also not disrupt the balance of the Cloud Continent's spiritual qi, nor affect the cultivation of cultivators outside."

Jian Chen then continued, "Of course, for those of you who have just entered the Divine King Realm, the spiritual qi inside the Spirit King's Pagoda is somewhat thin. However, the Spiritual Mountain in the pagoda will provide the spiritual qi necessary for Divine King cultivation."

Upon hearing that they were to be moved into the Spirit King's Pagoda, the Heaven-Fighting Clan members were all astonished. They had all entered the Spirit King's Pagoda at some point, knowing it to be a vast space, but they had never imagined it was a complete independent world.

"Furthermore, the Spirit King's Pagoda is a mid-grade divine artifact. Once I ascend to the Immortal Realm, this Spirit King's Pagoda will be given to the Heaven-Fighting Clan. From then on, the Spirit King's Pagoda will be the foundation of the Heaven-Fighting Clan."

"And if the Heaven-Fighting Clan is moved into the Spirit King's Pagoda, I will also place a large number of various spiritual herbs within it to supplement the resources for the clan's cultivation. Moreover, the Heaven-Fighting Clan will also gain a stable and safe cultivation environment within the Spirit King's Pagoda, free from external threats."

"With these conditions, I believe that within a few decades, your Heaven-Fighting Clan will surely produce several Divine King Realm powerhouses. In a hundred years, you will even have Divine King Realm peak powerhouses, and perhaps even early Chaotic Primes will appear."

Jian Chen's voice echoed through the courtyard, clearly reaching the ears of every Heaven-Fighting Clan member. They were all deeply moved, their eyes shining with excitement.

Living on the Cloud Continent, they had always felt a sense of insecurity. Now, with the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array and a safe, stable cultivation environment, their future seemed boundless. The most important thing was that they no longer had to live in fear of the Holy Light Tower.

"Jian Chen, thank you!" The Divine King of Wind clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Jian Chen, his face filled with emotion. Behind him, the Divine King of Fire, the Divine King of Thunder, and all the elders and clan members also bowed respectfully.

Their gratitude was sincere. Jian Chen had not only resolved the crisis of the Holy Light Tower, which had plagued them for years, but he had also brought the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array and provided a safe haven for the entire clan to develop. His actions were nothing short of a rebirth for the Heaven-Fighting Clan.

"You don't need to thank me. I am also a member of the Heaven-Fighting Clan," Jian Chen said gently, helping the Divine King of Wind up. "I will now move all of you into the Spirit King's Pagoda. You will have more than enough space to live there."

"Jian Chen, are you really a member of our Heaven-Fighting Clan?" the Divine King of Wind asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

Jian Chen chuckled. "That's a long story. I'll explain it to you in detail later. For now, let's move." With a thought, a powerful force enveloped all the Heaven-Fighting Clan members present. In an instant, they vanished from the courtyard, appearing inside the Spirit King's Pagoda.

The Heaven-Fighting Clan members immediately sensed the abundant spiritual qi within the Spirit King's Pagoda, and their faces lit up with joy.

"This is the Spirit King's Pagoda. From now on, this will be your home," Jian Chen's voice resonated in their ears.

"This is indeed an excellent place for cultivation. The spiritual qi is so abundant," exclaimed the Divine King of Wind. He was shocked by the drastic change in the pagoda's spiritual qi concentration.

"All of you, follow me," Jian Chen instructed, leading them towards the Spirit Mountain in the distance. He had already opened up a large area for the Heaven-Fighting Clan on the Spiritual Mountain, establishing numerous palaces for them to reside in.

After settling the Heaven-Fighting Clan, Jian Chen remained in the Spirit King's Pagoda for a few days, explaining to the Divine King of Wind and the others the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array and the secrets of the Chaotic Body.

With Jian Chen's profound insights and knowledge, the Divine King of Wind and the others quickly gained a deeper understanding of the Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array.

A few days later, Jian Chen left the Spirit King's Pagoda. He had chosen the Spirit King's Pagoda as the Heaven-Fighting Clan's new home to eliminate any lingering concerns, allowing him to embark on his journey without any worries.

Once outside the pagoda, Jian Chen headed straight for the headquarters of the Holy Light Tower. His eyes were cold and sharp, radiating a killing intent that suggested he would not rest until the Holy Light Tower was completely wiped out.

He had promised the Heaven-Fighting Clan to destroy the Holy Light Tower and avenge their fallen ancestors. Now, it was time to fulfill that promise.

The headquarters of the Holy Light Tower was located on a majestic mountain range, its peaks soaring into the clouds. Magnificent palaces were scattered across the mountains, and from a distance, they resembled a divine realm, exuding an aura of holiness.

However, in Jian Chen's eyes, this holy aura was merely a façade concealing unspeakable horrors. He knew that beneath this serene exterior lay a sinister organization that had committed countless atrocities.

Jian Chen did not attempt to conceal his presence. He deliberately released the powerful aura of a Divine King, causing the surrounding space to ripple intensely. A terrifying pressure spread outwards, sweeping across the entire Holy Light Tower.

"Who dares to trespass on the Holy Light Tower?!" A furious roar erupted from within the Holy Light Tower, followed by several powerful auras ascending into the sky.

In an instant, more than ten figures appeared above the Holy Light Tower, their gazes fixed on Jian Chen with a mixture of surprise and anger. The leaders of these figures were three old men with white hair and beards, all radiating the formidable aura of a Divine King Realm expert.

They were the three Grand Elders of the Holy Light Tower, all in the Divine King Realm.

The three Grand Elders stared at Jian Chen, their expressions grave. They realized that the person before them was very young, yet possessed such terrifying strength. He was clearly a top-tier expert among Divine Kings, far surpassing them in power.

"You are Jian Chen?" one of the Grand Elders asked, his voice low and cautious. He had received news from the Holy Light Palace Lord that Jian Chen, who had injured the Holy Light Palace Lord, possessed the strength of a Divine King. Now, seeing Jian Chen's formidable aura, he instantly recognized him.

"I am Jian Chen!" Jian Chen's voice was cold and filled with a chilling murderous intent. "Today, I will raze your Holy Light Tower to the ground."

"Arrogant! How dare you speak such nonsense!"

"Jian Chen, don't be so arrogant. Although your strength is exceptional, our Holy Light Tower has three Divine King Realm Grand Elders. If we join forces, you won't be able to defeat us."

"Moreover, our Holy Light Tower has a powerful Holy Light Formation guarding us. Even if your strength is heavens-defying, you won't be able to break through it."

Upon hearing Jian Chen's words, the three Grand Elders instantly became furious. Their Holy Light Tower had been established on the Cloud Continent for countless years, and no one had ever dared to make such a declaration before them.

"Is that so? Then let me see just how powerful your Holy Light Formation is." Jian Chen remained expressionless, his eyes devoid of emotion. He slowly raised his hand, and a terrifying chaotic force gathered in his palm, causing the void to tremble and distort violently.

The three Grand Elders' expressions changed drastically. They could feel a destructive power emanating from Jian Chen's palm, a power that even they, as Divine Kings, found terrifying.

"Activate the formation!" one of the Grand Elders immediately shouted. In an instant, a dazzling holy light erupted from the entire Holy Light Tower, transforming into a massive light barrier that enveloped the entire mountain range, protecting all the buildings within.

The Holy Light Formation was the ultimate defense of the Holy Light Tower. It had withstood countless attacks from powerful enemies throughout history, and no one had ever been able to break through it.

"Jian Chen, our Holy Light Formation can withstand the full-power attack of a Chaotic Prime. Even if you are powerful, you won't be able to break through it!" A Grand Elder taunted, his tone filled with confidence.

However, Jian Chen simply scoffed. "Chaotic Prime? Do you really think this formation can stop me?" His gaze swept over the Holy Light Formation, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, Jian Chen's aura underwent a transformation. A powerful aura of a Chaotic Prime instantly erupted from his body, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

"Chaotic... Chaotic Prime!"

At this moment, the three Grand Elders of the Holy Light Tower, along with all the other elders and disciples, felt their hearts skip a beat. Their faces instantly turned pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Their eyes were filled with unparalleled horror and disbelief.

They had never imagined that the young man before them was actually a terrifying Chaotic Prime.

The Holy Light Formation, which they had boasted could withstand the full-power attack of a Chaotic Prime, was merely a deterrent against weaker opponents. It was primarily used to deal with the Heaven-Fighting Clan and other Divine King Realm cultivators.

However, a genuine Chaotic Prime could easily shatter their formation with a single blow.

"Run! Run for your lives!" The three Grand Elders of the Holy Light Tower immediately screamed in terror, their arrogance instantly replaced by panic. Without hesitation, they turned around and fled.

They knew that facing a Chaotic Prime, their Holy Light Tower had absolutely no chance of survival. Their only hope was to escape and save their own lives.

"You want to run? It's too late!" Jian Chen's voice was cold and resolute. The chaotic force in his palm erupted, forming a brilliant chaotic sword qi that shot towards the Holy Light Formation.

The chaotic sword qi, containing destructive power, struck the Holy Light Formation with unparalleled force.

*Boom!*

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth. The Holy Light Formation, which had been considered impregnable, shattered instantly like fragile glass, turning into countless fragments of light that scattered across the sky.

The terrifying impact reverberated throughout the entire Holy Light Tower. All the magnificent palaces instantly collapsed into ruins. Countless disciples and elders within the Holy Light Tower, caught in the aftermath, were instantly turned into blood mist, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed.

Only the three Grand Elders, who had fled the fastest, managed to escape the initial blast. However, they too were severely injured by the aftermath, their bodies covered in blood as they coughed violently.

"Jian Chen, you are too cruel!" one of the Grand Elders cried out in despair. He felt his life force rapidly draining away, a sign that he wouldn't live much longer.

Jian Chen remained expressionless. He stretched out his hand, and a vast chaotic force transformed into a massive palm, reaching out to grab the three Grand Elders who were trying to escape.

"No! Jian Chen, spare us! We are willing to serve you and become your slaves!"

"Jian Chen, don't kill us! We have some precious treasures that we are willing to offer you. Please, just spare our lives!"

The three Grand Elders cried out in horror, their faces filled with despair. They knew that in front of a Chaotic Prime, they had no chance of resistance. Their only hope was to beg for mercy.

However, Jian Chen remained unmoved. The chaotic palm quickly enveloped the three Grand Elders, crushing their bodies and souls into oblivion.

Within moments, the entire Holy Light Tower was completely annihilated, with no one left alive. Even the three Divine King Realm Grand Elders had been reduced to ashes.

After destroying the Holy Light Tower, Jian Chen did not immediately leave. He remained suspended in the air, his Divine Sense spreading out like a tide, instantly covering the entire Cloud Continent.

He was searching for any remaining members of the Holy Light Tower, anyone who might have escaped from the headquarters or who were not present at the time. He wanted to eradicate every single trace of them.

After a thorough search, Jian Chen confirmed that there were no more surviving members of the Holy Light Tower on the entire Cloud Continent. He then collected the spoils of war from the ruins of the Holy Light Tower before finally leaving.

"The Heaven-Fighting Clan's crisis is completely resolved. Now, it's time for me to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Chaotic Prime Realm!" Jian Chen secretly mused.

He returned to the City Lord's Mansion and resumed his seclusion. With the threat of the Holy Light Tower gone, he could now cultivate without any distractions.

Time flew by, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Spirit King's Pagoda, the Heaven-Fighting Clan had undergone astonishing changes. With the complete Heaven-Fighting God-Slaying Array, abundant spiritual qi, and a safe cultivation environment, their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Within ten years, the Heaven-Fighting Clan had produced seven new Divine King Realm experts. This was a miraculous feat, considering that in the past, a new Divine King would only appear every few centuries, if at all.

Moreover, the three original Divine Kings — the Divine King of Wind, the Divine King of Fire, and the Divine King of Thunder — had also made significant progress. The Divine King of Wind, in particular, had reached the peak of the Divine King Realm. He was just a step away from entering the Chaotic Prime Realm.

The Heaven-Fighting Clan's overall strength had increased by several times, and their reputation had grown significantly among the other clans on the Cloud Continent.

"The Heaven-Fighting Clan has indeed made tremendous progress," Jian Chen murmured, feeling pleased with the results.

He then entered a deeper state of seclusion, focusing entirely on cultivating the Chaotic Body.

Another ten years passed.

On this day, the Spirit King's Pagoda suddenly began to vibrate violently. A terrifying aura erupted from within Jian Chen's cultivation chamber, sweeping across the entire pagoda.

*Rumble!*

The Spirit King's Pagoda trembled even more intensely. A powerful pressure filled the air, making it difficult for the Heaven-Fighting Clan members to breathe.

The Divine King of Wind and the other Divine Kings immediately rushed to Jian Chen's cultivation chamber, their faces filled with anxiety. They knew that Jian Chen was attempting to break through to the Chaotic Prime Realm, and the vibrations indicated that he was undergoing a crucial transformation.

"Don't worry, the Master is just breaking through to the Chaotic Prime Realm," the Spirit King's Pagoda artifact spirit's voice suddenly resounded in their minds.

Upon hearing this, the Divine King of Wind and the others were relieved. They immediately stood guard outside Jian Chen's cultivation chamber, ready to protect him.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Jian Chen's body was undergoing a profound transformation. Every cell, every fiber of his being, was being tempered and purified by the chaotic force.

His cultivation realm was rapidly increasing. Early Chaotic Prime, Mid Chaotic Prime, Late Chaotic Prime...

In just a short period, Jian Chen's cultivation reached the peak of the Chaotic Prime Realm. However, it did not stop there. The chaotic force continued to surge, pushing him towards an even higher realm.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, a terrifying roar echoed in Jian Chen's mind. His consciousness expanded infinitely, as if it had merged with the entire universe. He could feel the vastness of space, the movement of stars, and the laws of the universe.

This was the realm of the Grand Prime!

Jian Chen had successfully broken through to the Grand Prime Realm!

His strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. He now possessed the power to shatter mountains, split rivers, and even create worlds with a single thought.

"I have finally reached the Grand Prime Realm!" Jian Chen opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashing within them. He felt an unprecedented power surging through his body.

He then consolidated his cultivation and stepped out of the cultivation chamber.

Upon seeing Jian Chen emerge, the Divine King of Wind and the others immediately rushed forward, their faces filled with excitement.

"Jian Chen, you have successfully broken through to the Grand Prime Realm!" the Divine King of Wind exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion.

Jian Chen nodded with a smile. "Indeed, I have reached the Grand Prime Realm."

The Divine King of Wind and the others were overjoyed. With a Grand Prime Realm powerhouse in their midst, the Heaven-Fighting Clan's future was now secure.

"Jian Chen, what are your plans now?" the Divine King of Wind asked.

Jian Chen's gaze swept over the Heaven-Fighting Clan members, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. "I will now leave the Cloud Continent and journey to the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, the Divine King of Wind and the others were stunned. They knew that Jian Chen would eventually leave, but they hadn't expected it to be so soon.

"However, before I leave, I will arrange some things for the Heaven-Fighting Clan. In the future, if you encounter any troubles, you can contact me through the Spirit King's Pagoda. I will do my best to help you."

Jian Chen then spent a few days making arrangements for the Heaven-Fighting Clan. He left behind numerous resources, cultivation methods, and powerful artifacts to ensure their continued prosperity.

After everything was settled, Jian Chen bid farewell to the Heaven-Fighting Clan. He flew into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that rapidly disappeared into the distant horizon.

He was finally embarking on his journey to the Immortal Realm, a realm of endless possibilities and untold dangers.

The story ends here.
