Flames shot up into the sky, mysterious energy surged, and the void continued to break apart in the roar, as if the entire world was torn apart by some invisible force. Countless practitioners rushed to the battlefield like a tide, and everyone showed their most powerful posture at this moment.

This is an era that belongs to practitioners.

And each of them is the sharpest blade of this era.

Figures with cultivation as vast as the sea and fighting spirit as strong as the mountains crisscrossed between heaven and earth. Magical powers, spells, magical weapons collided violently in the void, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

“Look! That’s Feng Yang from the Linghe battlefield! He was actually defeated!”

“Hiss… It’s the Wanling Sect’s Cold Light Divine Sword! Oh my god, this attack can’t even stop that person’s profound energy torrent…”

“Chen Xiu! It was Chen Xiu who took action!!”

The exclamations were like a tide, penetrating the entire battlefield’s restlessness and stirring the hearts of every practitioner.

Standing in the center of the battle formation, Chen Xiu, dressed in a black robe that fluttered in the wind, looked like the will of heaven and earth. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes like stars, surrounded by myriad phenomena, and his aura frightened thousands of cultivators.

He is no longer the low-key and patient foundation builder.

He is now the most powerful being in the eyes of all cultivators in the universe.

And at this moment, it is the time of his rise!

1. A large number of powerful people stand out, and the times are changing
This is a melee that has never been seen before.

The level of practitioners is no longer limited to sects, aristocratic families, celestial realms, and clan bloodlines. All people gather here for only one purpose – to survive, fight their way out, and step onto the throne that truly dominates the era!
At this moment, all practitioners have put aside their so-called pride and bloodline.

Whoever is stronger has the truth.

In countless fierce battles, every practitioner began to understand that they were just pawns on the chessboard, a grain of sand in the torrent of power. Only by constantly becoming stronger and constantly attacking can they have even a moment of respite and glory in this world.

And the figure standing in the front has become an unshakable totem in their hearts—Chen Xiu.

“That’s Chen Xiu! He alone suppressed the entire Shura Army of the Southwest Spiritual Territory!”

“I heard that he used only one move, ‘Wanxuan Duandao’, to scare the enemy commander to death…”

“He is no longer a human being! He is the true destiny of this era!”

One is stronger than the other, and one is more fierce than the other.

But everyone also deeply understood at this moment that the more powerful people there are in an era, the more they need someone who can truly lead them. And this person is undoubtedly Chen Xiu!

As Chen Xiu walked step by step into the core of the battlefield, those practitioners who had been as arrogant as clouds in countless battles fell one after another.

Failure has become the reality they must face at this moment.

But it was also at this time that they clearly realized one thing – failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that after failure, they are still unwilling to look up at the person who truly leads the times.

They looked up and saw Chen Xiu.

The young man who had not yet fully emerged in the past has now transformed into a hegemon who is feared by all.

“It’s him……”

“He… actually reached this point…”

“I used to laugh at his cultivation level being just at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but seeing him today, he is like a god!”

And they finally realized that their era had passed.

Failure is painful, but this pain also completely awakens their awareness.

It’s time to follow.

It is time to comprehend how the man who stood at the pinnacle of the times got to where he is today step by step.

Chen Xiu did not wait for them.

His steps were always firm and his eyes were always fixed forward.

His era has begun!
At the rear of the battlefield, the Wanling Heavenly Array has been deployed, and hundreds of top array masters and body-refining monks are engaging in the final showdown with the enemy’s strongest legion.

Chen Xiu stood at the forefront of the battle formation, one man and one sword, sweeping across dozens of miles. He did not have too many tricks, only the ultimate use of each move.

“This sword is to cut off the shackles of the past.”

“This sword is to cleanse the darkness in your heart and mine.”

“This sword is for all living beings in the universe, to open the gates of heaven and usher in a new era!”

As Chen Xiu’s voice fell, a blazing white sword light shot up into the sky. The sky thundered, the earth fire rushed, and the whole sky was shaking.

“——Ninefold Destruction!”

As the sword flashed, the enemy troops fled in all directions, the energy of heaven and earth shook for hundreds of miles, and the entire spiritual realm fell into deathly silence.

And just after this dead silence, there broke out a thunderous cheer and shock.

“Chen Xiu! The Lord of Ten Thousand Battles!”

“Long live Lord Xiu! Dominate the era!”

At this moment, all practitioners understood that what they were pursuing was no longer just power, but the person who could guide them through chaos and into the future.

He is neither the chosen one nor the descendant of gods.

He is Chen Xiu.

A cultivator who stands on the dust but dares to compete with the sky!
4. Everyone who becomes a contemporary
In the storm of the times brought about by Chen Xiu, every practitioner is no longer a headless fly.

They have a direction, a goal, and faith.

“I finally understand… We are not trying to become immortals ourselves, but to truly change the world.”

“I lost this battle, but I lost willingly.”

“Following Chen Xiu may be my true destiny.”

They came to join him one after another, and gained enlightenment one after another. They were no longer as arrogant as before, but humbly reshaped themselves, willing to become the first followers of the new path opened up by Chen Xiu.

They finally understood that they would eventually become the builders of this new era.

Even if they are not the protagonists, they will eventually become indispensable cornerstones.

Not a god.

Not an emperor.

But it was the man who stood up from the ruins, cut through the thorns and opened up the sky with a sword.

——Chen Xiu!
With his own strength, he led all practitioners into a new era.

And at this moment, all the cultivators finally understood their true identities.

Not a bystander.

Not a victim.

Each of them is the creator of this new era!
The sunlight from the sky penetrated the thick clouds and illuminated the battle land. Dust was flying, and the air was filled with tension. The practitioners went to the battlefield one after another, with solemn expressions and the flame of battle burning in their eyes.

This is not just an ordinary war, but a battle that allows every practitioner to break through themselves and reach the peak. The figures of each practitioner flash on the battlefield, wielding their magic weapons and performing their own unique spells. The collision of strength and wisdom makes the battlefield like a huge furnace, forging their glory.

On this battlefield that was about to break out, Chen Xiu stood at the front, staring at the enemy in the distance. Almost all the practitioners had already realized the significance of this moment. This was the starting point of their new era, and the first step in their strongest era.

“This is the era of attack,” Chen Xiu whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with endless fighting spirit. “This time, we will meet the challenge with a brand new attitude.”

As Chen Xiu gave the order, the battle broke out instantly, and the cultivators rushed into the enemy camp like lightning. Every cultivator knew that at this moment, it was not just a simple battle, but a process of self-awakening. The enemy they faced was not only an external threat, but also their own limit.

The tempo of the battle was getting faster and faster, and the enemy’s counterattacks were getting more intense. Many practitioners gradually felt that their physical limits were being pushed out in this battle. Pain and fatigue came like a tide, and it seemed that every breath became heavy. However, it was in this predicament that the will and strength of the practitioners began to awaken. They broke through one limit after another and exerted their fighting talents and strength to the fullest.

“Is this a failure?” A practitioner asked himself, his body covered in blood and exhausted. However, there was no fear in his eyes, only determination.

“No, this is the prelude to success.” Another practitioner responded, his eyes were firm and his fists were clenched. As these words spread, more and more practitioners regained their inner faith, and their strength began to burst out.

At this time, Chen Xiu’s figure was still as solid as a rock, his eyes were stern, and he was commanding the overall situation. He had already found his own rhythm in the battle, and his powerful strength and superb wisdom complemented each other, making him fearless on the battlefield and commanding accurately.

Chen Xiu did not rely solely on violence, but through precise tactical layout, he cleverly mobilized the power of each practitioner, allowing each practitioner to burst out with the strongest combat power at the most appropriate moment. Every decision he made was as accurate as God’s will.

“This is our strongest moment!” Chen Xiu whispered, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. “Nothing can stop us.”

Following his orders, the power of the practitioners on the battlefield became more and more turbulent. Every attack was as powerful as thunder, and every spell was like a torrent sweeping everything away. Although the enemy fought desperately, under Chen Xiu’s exquisite command, they were unable to resist and retreated step by step.

The battle became more intense, and the enemy gradually felt tremendous pressure. Although they fought back with all their might, they could not save the defeat anyway. Under the leadership of Chen Xiu, the practitioners charged forward like wild beasts, tearing apart the enemy’s positions layer by layer.

At this time, Chen Xiu had already entered his strongest state. He seemed to be integrated with the battlefield. Every strike he made carried infinite power, and every command he gave was extremely precise. His body seemed to have been tempered through thousands of trials and had reached its peak state.

“Victory belongs to us!” Chen Xiu shouted again, his voice as loud as thunder, shaking the entire battlefield. (End of this chapter)
