Celestial City.

As the most important base of the Celestial Race, this city is located on a vast plain in Tianzhou. The city walls are as high as mountains, built of rare lapis lazuli divine stone, and are engraved with countless ancient runes, radiating a strong spatial fluctuation.

These runes affect countless formations within the city. If the Celestial Race encounters a great crisis, these formations will immediately activate to protect the entire Celestial Race!
Even the Supreme Being could not destroy its central core.

At this moment, there were many cultivators moving back and forth in the Celestial City. Some rode divine light, while others walked on foot. Most of them had extraordinary auras and their brows were filled with the pride of being a powerful clan from the upper realm.

"--boom!"

Just then, a beam of light shot into the sky from the teleportation array at the very center of the city.

The intense spatial ripples spread rapidly like water waves, instantly alarming all the Celestial Race cultivators nearby.

Countless Taoist figures arrived in droves, surrounding the entire teleportation array layer by layer.

At the center of the formation, as the teleportation light gradually disappeared, a clear figure appeared.

This person had long, flowing black hair, a tall and straight body, a handsome face, and sharp eyes like a hawk. He was none other than Zhu Chen, who had been forcibly teleported from the lower realm!
As soon as Zhu Chen appeared, he immediately felt countless hostile gazes focused on him.

The once bustling city became much quieter in an instant.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Zhu Chen looked around, taking in the magnificent city and the hostile gazes, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Unexpectedly, the teleportation array set up by the Celestial Race in the lower realm was actually located within this Celestial City.

This saved him the trouble of going into the city.

"Hmph~, you've got some nerve, actually daring to come to my Celestial City to die!"

Just as Zhu Chen was examining the Celestial Race cultivators around him, a cold and aged voice suddenly rang out in mid-air.

Zhu Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw that two figures had appeared above his head at some point.

One of them was an old woman with a face full of wrinkles.

The other person held an ebony cane, had a sinister look in his eyes, and exuded a chilling aura around him, as if he were merging with the laws of heaven and earth around him.

Standing next to the old woman was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and with a dignified bearing.

The man had a dignified face, and runes appeared and disappeared between his eyes. His aura was in no way weaker than that of the old woman.

These two are none other than the two current Celestial God Realm ancestors of the Celestial Race.

Qixia and Qi Tuo!
Those two old geezers!

The one who had just spoken was none other than the Qixia Patriarch, who was holding a cane.

"Zhu Chen, you have defiled the purity of our clan's holy maiden Yun Xi, and even caused her to conceive an illegitimate child, thus defiling the noble bloodline of our Celestial Race. This is an unforgivable crime. Do you know your guilt?"

The old patriarch of Qixia spoke in an icy voice, directly accusing Zhu Chen of a serious crime.

Zhu Chen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "What a joke! Yunxi and I are mutually in love, how can you say I'm ruining her reputation? Besides, she herself has no complaints about this matter, so when did it become your place, a dying old woman, to make such a fuss? You went to great lengths to lure me here, weren't you just coveting the Ten Fierce Treasures I possess..."

"presumptuous!"

Qi Tuo, the patriarch standing next to Qi Xia, interrupted Zhu Chen directly.

He never expected that a mere Venerable Realm cultivator from the lower realm would dare to be so arrogant in front of the two Heavenly Gods!

It’s really contrary to Tiangang!

"Ignorant brat, you dare to spout nonsense even when you're about to die! Kneel down and submit to your fate!"

With a thought, Ancestor Qi Tuo unleashed his vast, ocean-like pressure as a Heavenly God Realm expert, directly suppressing Zhu Chen in the center of the altar!

The power of the gods far surpasses that of true gods, enough to shatter mountains and rivers and stop their flow.

In Qi Tuo's view, his mere presence was enough to break the bones and force this arrogant brat to his knees, begging for mercy. The surrounding Celestial Clan cultivators, sensing this suffocating aura, all wore expressions of awe, while their gazes towards Zhu Chen were filled with pity and mockery.

"Ancestor Qi Tuo is enraged. This kid is finished."

"Hmph~, courting death. A mere lower realm venerable one dares to defy a celestial being?"

"This time he's probably going to be crushed into mincemeat."

However, what happened next made everyone's expressions freeze instantly!

When Zhu Chen faced Qi Tuo's terrifying divine pressure, a powerful surge of blood energy erupted from his body.

That surge of blood energy erupted like ten thousand volcanoes simultaneously, carrying immense power of rules, transforming into a visible crimson glow that enveloped Zhu Chen's body.

"--boom!!!"

The invisible divine pressure collided fiercely with Zhu Chen's boundless blood energy, producing a low, muffled sound.

The scene that everyone expected—Zhu Chen being crushed—did not occur. Instead, the powerful pressure was forcibly broken and torn apart by the intense blood energy.

In the end, they couldn't even get within three zhang of Zhu Chen!

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

This includes Qi Tuo and Qi Xia, those two Celestial God Realm ancestors.

"He actually withstood the suppression of the god's aura head-on with pure physical strength!"

"This...how is this possible?"

"My god, isn't he a Venerable One? This blood aura... is even more terrifying than those True God Realm predecessors!"

"Could it be that Ancestor Qi Tuo showed mercy?"

After a brief silence, a collective gasp filled the room.

No one expected that Zhu Chen, with his Venerable Realm cultivation, would be able to withstand the oppressive aura of a Celestial God Realm cultivator.

It's important to know that there are two major realms between the Venerable Realm and the Celestial God Realm: the True One Realm and the Holy Sacrifice Realm.

A cultivator at the Celestial God Realm could crush countless Venerables with just their aura.

The difference between them is like the difference between clouds and mud; how could one possibly overstep it so easily?

Zhu Chen's current display of strength has completely overturned everyone's understanding!
This even made Qixia and Qituo feel a little uneasy.

“Even those ancient prodigies who once dominated their generation never achieved such a record. This young man’s potential is probably no less than that of Di Chong from the Immortal Palace…”

A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of Ancestor Qi Tuo.

The oppressive aura he just released was enough to easily suppress any cultivator below the level of a celestial being.

But in front of Zhu Chen, it was as if they had run into an indestructible wall of divine iron, unable to advance an inch.

This is definitely not the kind of power that an ordinary Venerable One should possess.

"This child must not be allowed to live. The secrets he holds must be obtained by our Celestial Race!"

The old master of Qixia narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, and unconsciously tightened his grip on his cane.

She didn't care what secret treasures or extraordinary techniques Zhu Chen possessed.

Since the other party has already arrived in their Celestial City, the items on their person already belong to their Celestial Race.
