The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Su Chen saw eight people flying rapidly from dozens of miles away, leaving a long trail of flame in the air and turning the sky into a rainbow.

It was as if someone had used a colored paintbrush to quickly draw a mark in the air.

These eight individuals hovered in the sky, each wielding a weapon. Judging from the divine light emanating from them, they were clearly no ordinary people. As expected of the Jiang family, they had dispatched a half-step Grandmaster at the first level of the Immortal Platform realm and seven peak Dragon Transformation experts.

A sword light descended instantly, traversing a distance of over a thousand meters, about to pierce Su Chen's head and kill him instantly.

Su Chen reached out and grabbed Jiang Lianshan from the ground, holding him in front of him as a shield.

The magical artifact, radiating azure divine light, hovered a meter in front of Jiang Lianshan's forehead. Its sharp sword energy cut a wound on Jiang Lianshan's skin, from which a drop of blood seeped out.

The cultivator at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm who launched the flying sword couldn't help but wipe away a non-existent cold sweat; he had almost shattered Jiang Lianshan's head.

However, the Supreme Elder standing in front of them, who was at the first level of the Sendai Realm, was Jiang Lianshan's grandfather. If they killed Jiang Lianshan, even if it was by mistake, they would inevitably incur the Supreme Elder's wrath.

He immediately withdrew his flying sword and roared, "You despicable scoundrel, you actually used my Jiang family as a shield!"

Su Chen said, "Your Jiang family is despicable and shameless, wanting to kill people without distinguishing right from wrong."

The man said, "What's the point of talking to a thief like you who stole my Jiang family's treasures? Just kill him and be done with it. To die at the hands of a member of the Jiang family is a blessing you earned in your past life."

As the man roared, a torrent of saliva gushed from his mouth, like a fountain. He was as strong as an ox, with bulging muscles and a rugged face.

Su Chen said calmly, "You must have been cultivating for quite a while, yet your words sound as awful as a dog barking."

With a surge of anger, the man's eyes widened in fury. If he hadn't been wary of Jiang Lianshan in Su Chen's hands, he probably would have already charged down to fight to the death.

The leader, a half-step Grandmaster at the first level of the Sendai realm, waved his hand, signaling the man to calm down, and said, "Would it be alright if you released Lian Shan?"

Su Chen glanced at Jiang Lianshan, then used the Emperor's Law to seal Jiang Lianshan's divine power once more. Jiang Lianshan, having just been nearly pierced through the head by a sword, was terrified, his forehead covered in sweat that mixed with blood and ran down his face.

Su Chen said, "I wouldn't dare. What you're holding is an ultimate imperial weapon. I'm afraid if I release Jiang Lianshan, he'll be melted to ashes by the Sun God Furnace in the next second."

The half-step Great Power said, "You actually know about Supreme Emperor Weapons?"

Su Chen said, "Aren't you underestimating us? It's not like your Jiang family is the only one in the world with an ultimate imperial weapon."

The half-step Great Power said, "As long as you release Lian Shan, I can give you one day to escape."

Su Chen said, "As long as I don't release him, I won't have to run away for even a day. Now, you all retreat five hundred miles away, or I will kill him and destroy his soul."

The near-Great Power expert, suppressing his anger, said, "You think you can threaten me like this?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I didn't think so, I just wanted to give it a try."

The half-step Grandmaster gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. His hair was originally all white, which made people worry that at his age, getting angry might cause his blood pressure to rise and his blood vessels to burst, leading to his death.

Su Chen said, "I'll count to three: one, two."

The half-step Great Power gritted his teeth and said, "We retreat."

After saying that, he retreated five hundred miles away, watching Su Chen and Jiang Lianshan from afar. The other seven had no choice but to follow behind.

Su Chen felt a little hungry, so he took out a Golden-Winged Roc, which he had hunted in the Monster Mountain Range.

After plucking the feathers and cleaning out the internal organs, it was placed on the Li Huo Shen Lu (a type of furnace) to roast.

Jiang Lianshan was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead as he watched him roast the quasi-emperor weapon that Emperor Hengyu had refined. He said, "You are insulting Emperor Hengyu."

Su Chen rolled his eyes at Jiang Lianshan and said, "I respect Emperor Hengyu no less than you do. Don't you think you're being too arrogant? Why should you consider it an insult just because you think so? I think you're just being unreasonable and disgracing Emperor Hengyu's reputation. You keep saying I stole the Jiang family's treasure, but this Divine Furnace of Blazing Fire has been passed down in the Blazing Fire Sect of the Northern Region for hundreds of years, and I haven't seen your Jiang family ask for it back. How come it's considered stealing your Jiang family's treasure just because it's in my hands?"

The Divine Furnace Barbecue is extraordinary. It not only locks in the essence of the Golden-Winged Roc completely, but also uses the fire of the Divine Furnace to perfectly roast the essence of the meat, resulting in an absolutely first-class taste.

Su Chen took a bite himself. Although it had no taste, it was incomparably delicious.

Having eaten most of the Golden-Winged Roc, he was too full to eat anymore, so he tore off a large piece and gave it to Jiang Lianshan, saying, "You should try some too."

Jiang Lianshan said, "I won't eat."

Su Chen said, "It's better to die well than to starve. Look over there, they say they're from the same family, but they're secretly carving Dao patterns around us, afraid I'll escape. Aren't they afraid I'll be desperate and crush them?"

Jiang Lianshan looked around and, sure enough, saw faint array patterns flowing in the void a kilometer away. Someone was imprinting array patterns in the void to seal everything off.

Su Chen said, "Eat up, eat your fill. In a little while, that old man might just set up the Sun God Furnace and burn us both to death."

Jiang Lianshan said, "Aren't you going to run now? With your speed, even a half-step Great Power at the first level of the Sendai realm couldn't stop you."

Su Chen said, "I won't run away because I won't die, but whether you will die is another matter."

He tossed the roasted Golden-Winged Roc meat to Jiang Lianshan, who caught it and began to devour it. "To be honest," he said, "I've never eaten a monster roasted from a quasi-Emperor weapon before."
