29: He first displayed his power outside the penalty area, defeating several prodigies from beyond the region with a flick of his finger!

Godfall Forbidden Zone outskirts.

In the past, this place was shrouded year-round by dense, impenetrable gray-black Evil Qi.

Dead silence was the only theme; even the most tenacious poisonous weeds could not survive here.

But at this moment, that heart-palpitating Evil Qi had thinned several times over.

Although it still carried a chill that eroded Spiritual Qi and Divine Soul, for high-level Cultivators, it was no longer an insurmountable chasm.

The weakening period of the 'Evil Tide' that cycles every ten thousand years has arrived!

On the originally barren and silent earth, many figures appeared at this moment.

Young Prodigies from various continents such as the Eastern Domain, Central Domain, Northern Plains, Western Desert, and Southern Wilds, along with their protectors—whether overt or covert—gathered here like sharks smelling blood.

Some drove magnificent flying boats, some rode ferocious Yao Beasts, and others, like Lu Qingxuan, arrived quietly relying solely on their own cultivation.

A tense and excited atmosphere permeated the air; everyone knew that deep within the Forbidden Zone lay Heaven-Defying Opportunity, but it was also accompanied by deadly danger.

When their eyes met, there was scrutiny and vigilance.

Lu Qingxuan, dressed in azure robes, stood alone on a low hill.

His figure seemed to merge with the surrounding thin Evil Qi, and his aura was restrained to the extreme.

The bronze fragment in his hand was emitting warm fluctuations, guiding a clear direction—deep into the Forbidden Zone.

However, the trees desire stillness, but the wind will not cease.

"Oh? It seems our Luck is not bad. We just arrived, and we already encountered the legendary 'Person of the Tribulation'?"

A voice with a hint of mockery and condescension sounded.

Several streams of light descended, revealing five figures.

The leader was a young man wearing star-patterned dharma robes and a jade crown, with a haughty expression.

His surrounding Spiritual Qi was surging, faintly resonating with the surrounding Laws; he was actually a Peak Nascent Soul Prodigy!

The entry above his head was clearly 【Myriad Laws Spiritual Body】 (Dark Gold)!

He was from the top power of the Central Domain—Myriad Laws Sect!

Behind him followed an old man with a profound aura and sharp eyes, his protector, with the entry 【Early Soul Transformation Stage】.

On the other side, cold air permeated; a woman wearing ice-blue palace attire, with a cold and glamorous face, as if carved from ice and snow, drifted down.

Her aura was cold, also at the Peak Nascent Soul, with the entry 【Mystic Ice Holy Body】 (Dark Gold), from the Northern Plains Ice Soul Divine Palace.

Beside her also followed an old woman protector, with the entry 【Early Soul Transformation Stage】.

In addition, there were two other Prodigies from other regions, with slightly weaker auras but also at the Late Stage Nascent Soul, along with their protectors.

These factions had clearly reached a tacit understanding, faintly surrounding Lu Qingxuan in the middle.

That Myriad Laws Sect Prodigy, named Xiao Chen, stared at Lu Qingxuan with burning eyes, as if examining a rare treasure, his tone filled with undisguised greed: "Chaos aura... truly mysterious."

"Lu Qingxuan, hand over your Chaos Cultivation method, as well as the secret on your body that triggered the Heavenly Secret prophecy, and this Young Master might spare your life and take you as a servant."

The woman from the Ice Soul Divine Palace, Fairy Cold Moon, although she did not speak, the chill and covetousness in those icy eyes were equally clear.

The "Person of the Tribulation" in the Heavenly Secret prophecy, the Luck and secrets he carried, were irresistible temptations for any Prodigy.

The Early Soul Transformation Stage protectors behind them locked their aura onto Lu Qingxuan, carrying warnings and pressure.

In their view, no matter how strong Lu Qingxuan was, he was only at the Golden Core Mid-stage.

Perhaps he could fight above his level with Chaos power, but they had four Early Soul Transformation Stage experts here, plus several top Nascent Soul Prodigies, enough to form an overwhelming force!

Around them, many Prodigies and Cultivators from other factions also noticed the commotion here and cast their gazes over, some watching coldly, some gloating, some with a trace of curiosity.

Everyone wanted to see how this rising star, predicted by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion as the "Person of the Tribulation", the Great Void Holy Master, would handle this situation.

Facing Xiao Chen's aggression and the crowd's encirclement, Lu Qingxuan didn't even lift his eyelids.

He continued to look at the slightly vibrating bronze fragment in his hand, as if the few Prodigies and Soul Transformation experts in front of him were just buzzing flies.

This complete disregard turned the haughtiness on Xiao Chen's face into shame and anger instantly.

"Looking for death! Since you refuse a toast, you will drink a forfeit!" Xiao Chen shouted sharply.

"Everyone, attack together, take him down! The Opportunity depends on ability!"

He took the lead, his hands forming seals, the light of his Myriad Laws Spiritual Body bursting forth, triggering a riot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder... various attributes of Law power gathered in front of him, turning into a colorful, destructive "Myriad Laws Torrent" that surged toward Lu Qingxuan!

This was his Myriad Laws Sect's ultimate technique, powerful enough to instantly severely injure a Nascent Soul of the same level!

Almost simultaneously, Fairy Cold Moon pointed like a sword, and an extremely cold "Ice Soul Annihilation Divine Light" that seemed to be able to freeze the Soul struck silently toward Lu Qingxuan's glabella.

The other two Nascent Soul Prodigies also used their own means, a sharp and peerless blade aura, and a treacherous and poisonous ghost shadow, attacking from both sides!

The four Early Soul Transformation Stage protectors linked their auras together, sealing the surrounding Void Realm, preventing Lu Qingxuan from escaping, and preparing to deliver a fatal blow at any time!

For a moment, Laws roared, spiritual light flashed, and killing intent filled the air!

The combined attack of four top Prodigies was enough to make ordinary Early Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators prepare for a hard fight!

"It's over! This Great Void Holy Master is too arrogant!"

"No matter how strong the Chaos Body is, it's impossible to resist the siege of four Peak Nascent Soul Prodigies at the Golden Core Mid-stage, right?"

"What a pity, to fall just after entering the Forbidden Zone..."

Low exclamations sounded among the onlookers; almost everyone thought Lu Qingxuan was doomed.

However, at the very moment the overwhelming attacks were about to land—

Lu Qingxuan finally moved.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes still calm, but beneath that calmness was an indifference that viewed all living beings as ants.

He didn't even make any defensive posture, just simply raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed at the surging Myriad Laws Torrent, Ice Soul Divine Light, sharp blade aura, and treacherous ghost shadow in front... and clenched it lightly.

【Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art】—Evolution, Return to Ruins!

Hum!

With his palm as the center, a miniature Chaos vortex suddenly appeared!

That vortex seemed to connect to the land of return to ruins where all things end, emitting a power that devoured everything and returned it to the Origin!

The imposing Myriad Laws Torrent, at the moment of contact with the Chaos vortex, was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The various attribute Laws within it were forcibly stripped, decomposed, and turned into the most primitive Chaos Qi, which was instead absorbed by Lu Qingxuan!

That Ice Soul Annihilation Divine Light, like hitting an invisible wall, the extreme cold power hadn't erupted before it was worn away by the Chaos Qi!

The sharp blade aura shattered inch by inch, and the treacherous ghost shadows dissipated with silent wails...

The joint attack of four Prodigies, enough to shake a Soul Transformation expert, was so lightly destroyed by Lu Qingxuan with a single grip!

It didn't even stir up a ripple!

"What?!"

"This is impossible!"

The expressions on the faces of Xiao Chen, Fairy Cold Moon, and the others froze instantly, replaced by boundless horror and disbelief!

They felt the power of their attacks like mud cows entering the sea, and even being swallowed by the opponent instead!

This completely exceeded their scope of understanding!

"Chaos... is this the power of Chaos?!" Xiao Chen's voice was dry, feeling fear for the first time.

"This child is weird, attack together, kill him with full power!" The Myriad Laws Sect's Early Soul Transformation Stage protector's face changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, attacking simultaneously with the other three Soul Transformation experts!

Four terrifying attacks of Soul Transformation level, containing their understanding of their own Dao, turned into four beams of light of different colors but equally earth-shattering, tearing through the Void Realm and crashing down toward Lu Qingxuan!

This was a finishing move, with no more reservations!

Facing the angry attack of four Soul Transformation experts, Lu Qingxuan's eyes were slightly cold.

"Ants shaking a tree, not knowing life from death."

This time he didn't use his bare hands, he formed a seal with his right hand and pushed it forward flatly.

【Chaos Origin Returning Great Handprint】!

A simple and ancient palm print that seemed to be polished from Chaos stone appeared out of thin air.

Above the palm print, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water circled, and the Concept of Returning to Origin and Suppression turned into tangible Dao patterns!

The palm print grew with the wind, instantly becoming a hundred zhang in size, carrying the terrifying momentum of crushing stars and suppressing the ages, and slammed toward the four Soul Transformation light beams and the four Early Soul Transformation Stage protectors behind them!

"Boom—!!!"

The moment the palm print collided with the light beams, there was no violent explosion as imagined, only a teeth-aching sound of crushing and shattering!

Those four seemingly powerful Soul Transformation light beams, in front of the Chaos Great Handprint, were as fragile as glass, crumbling and disintegrating step by step the moment they touched!

They couldn't even block the palm print for a moment!

"No!!!"

"Retreat quickly!"

The four Early Soul Transformation Stage protectors were terrified, frantically burning their essence blood, wanting to escape.

But, it was too late.

The Chaos Great Handprint ignored space, and with a speed that exceeded their reaction, it crashed down!

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"

Four soft sounds, like stepping on four ripe watermelons.

The four Early Soul Transformation Stage experts who could be considered powerhouses in the Eastern Domain and even the Central Domain, along with the protective Magic Treasures they sacrificed in a hurry, were directly crushed into four mists of blood under that Chaos palm print!

Even their Nascent Souls couldn't escape and were completely wiped out by the Origin-Returning power contained in the palm print, turning into the purest energy, which was quietly absorbed by Lu Qingxuan.

One palm, killed four Soul Transformation experts!

Quiet!

Deathly silence!

All the onlookers, including Xiao Chen, Fairy Cold Moon, and other Prodigies who had attacked earlier, all froze in place, as if frozen by the Nine Heavens Profound Ice, their blood seeming to congeal!

Those were four Soul Transformation experts!

Not four chickens!

How could they just be patted away with one palm?!

What kind of monster is this Lu Qingxuan?!

Golden Core killing Soul Transformation, and four of them?!

This is no longer challenging above one's level, this is a complete crushing in terms of status!

The haughtiness on Xiao Chen's face had long since disappeared, leaving only boundless fear, his teeth chattering.

Fairy Cold Moon's cold and pretty face was now as pale as paper, with no more coldness and arrogance.

Lu Qingxuan's gaze finally fell on them.

That gaze was calm, but colder than ten thousand years of Profound Ice.

"Run!"

I don't know who shouted, the remaining Prodigies were like frightened birds, turning into several streams of light, fleeing frantically in different directions!

Even their protectors were dead, where would they still have any Battle Intent?

"Want to leave now?"

Lu Qingxuan's tone was indifferent, pointing his fingers continuously.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several finger winds, condensed to the extreme and compressed from Chaos Qi, seemed to cross space, arriving first despite being launched later, accurately sinking into the hearts of Xiao Chen, Fairy Cold Moon, and other fleeing Prodigies.

"Ugh..."

Their bodies suddenly stiffened, and their momentum of rushing forward stopped abruptly.

Extreme horror and unwillingness still remained on their faces, then their eyes quickly dimmed, and the vitality in their bodies was extinguished instantly like a candle flame blown away by a strong wind.

Their bodies fell powerlessly from mid-air like broken puppets.

With a flick of a finger, he killed several top Prodigies from other domains!

From the start to the end, it was only a short ten breaths of time!

Four Soul Transformation experts, several Peak Nascent Soul Prodigies, wiped out!

Lu Qingxuan rolled his sleeves, collecting the few golden and dark gold entries (【Myriad Laws Spiritual Body】, 【Mystic Ice Holy Body】, etc.) that appeared on those Prodigies, as well as their storage Magic Treasures.

He didn't even look at the mess and blood mist on the ground, as if he had just casually cleaned up a few bugs.

He took out the bronze fragment again.

The direction the fragment pointed to became clearer.

It was a valley area located deep in the Forbidden Zone, where the space was faintly distorted, emitting rich deathly silence and chaotic Dao rhymes.

On the System map, the place name was automatically marked—【Burial Dao Valley】.

Around him, the Prodigies and Cultivators from various factions who were still watching were all terrified, retreating one after another, pulling a great distance from Lu Qingxuan, their eyes full of fear and awe, with no more of the previous contempt and covetousness.

With such fierce prestige, who would dare to touch his edge?

Lu Qingxuan ignored the surrounding gazes, his body flickered, turning into a stream of Chaos light, speeding toward the direction of Burial Dao Valley.

On the outskirts of the Godfall Forbidden Zone, his prestige was first displayed, and corpses were already strewn across the field!
