Returning from cultivating immortality, the top scorer in the college entrance examination goes bers

In the northwestern Gobi Desert, yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see.

A convoy of twenty off-road vehicles was speeding across the vast desert. In the lead black Hummer, Lu Jingchen leaned back in his seat, eyes closed, resting. Su Muyue sat beside him, holding a global anomaly report, her brow furrowed.

"In the past three days, seventeen small interdimensional rifts have appeared around the world. Although they are all low-level carrion demons and shadow worms, they have already caused more than three hundred casualties. Most regions have been able to follow the Alliance's command and seal the rifts in time, but the Helian family in the northwest not only refused to cooperate, but also injured the envoy we sent."

Lu Jingchen slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint in them: "The Helian family? The reclusive family that claims to be descendants of the ancient war god Helian Bobo, with a history spanning three thousand years?"

"That's right." Elder Qingfeng nodded, his tone somewhat helpless. "They've been entrenched in the Helan Mountains area for a long time, and their power is immense. They've always been arrogant and disdainful of others. When Chi You caused chaos, they stayed indoors. Now that the world is at peace, they've jumped out and said that your position as the alliance leader is illegitimate. They've also spread rumors that you only defeated Chi You by luck and the Dragon Cave Jade Pendant, and that you're not worthy of leading the entire Xuanmen sect."

"They also said that the position of leader of the Xuanmen Alliance should be held by the oldest family with the longest lineage, which is their Helian family," Elder Mingyue added. "Yesterday they also publicly announced that they were leaving the Global Xuanmen Alliance and establishing some kind of 'Ancient Martial Arts Alliance,' and more than a dozen small sects have already joined them."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ma Xiaodong immediately exploded: "These guys are shameless! When Chi You wanted to destroy the world, they hid in the mountains like cowards, but now that Big Brother has saved the world, they're reaping the benefits! They deserve a beating! Big Brother, this time we must teach them a lesson and show them who the real boss is!"

Shi Lei nodded in agreement: "Exactly! If we don't teach them a lesson, even more people will jump out and cause trouble in the future!"

Lu Jingchen smiled faintly: "Perfect, I also want to see what this family, which has been passed down for three thousand years, is capable of. If they really have the ability, I don't mind giving them a chance. If they're just all talk, then don't blame me for being impolite."

After a six-hour drive, the convoy finally arrived at Helianbao at the foot of the Helan Mountains.

Helian Fortress was built halfway up the mountain, entirely constructed of massive stones, and possessed an imposing presence. At the castle gate stood several hundred Helian family disciples dressed in black, holding long swords and glaring fiercely at Lu Jingchen and his companions.

Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair and beard, wearing a long robe embroidered with a golden war god pattern, and holding a jet-black spear. He was none other than Helian Ba, the patriarch of the Helian family. Seeing Lu Jingchen and the others alight from the carriage, a hint of disdain appeared on his face:

"Lu Jingchen, you actually dared to come. I thought you would just hide in Jiangzhou, relying on women and your subordinates for support."

His disciples behind him immediately burst into laughter:

"Exactly! A mere brat dares to call himself the global leader!"

"Get back to Jiangzhou right now! This isn't a place for you!"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the position of alliance leader right now, or we won't be so polite!"

Ma Xiaodong was so angry his face turned red. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward: "You bunch of bastards! What are you saying?!"

"Come back." Lu Jingchen stopped him, looking calmly at Helian Ba. "I'll give you a chance. Immediately disband your so-called Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, apologize to the alliance, and send people to seal the rift. I can let bygones be bygones."

"Let bygones be bygones?" Helian Ba ​​burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. "Lu Jingchen, you think too highly of yourself! My Helian family has a three-thousand-year-old lineage. Our ancestor was the ancient war god Helian Bobo. Even the Yellow Emperor had to give us some face back then! You, a mere brat, dare to ask me to apologize?"

He suddenly raised the spear in his hand, the tip pointing directly at Lu Jingchen: "This is the ancestral artifact of my Helian family—the War God Spear! It's forged from meteorite iron from outer space, capable of cutting through iron like mud. My ancestor used it to slay a general of Chi You! Today, I'll show you what true ancient martial arts are all about!"

Before he finished speaking, Helian Ba ​​suddenly exerted force with his feet, charging towards Lu Jingchen like an arrow released from a bow. The War God Spear, accompanied by a whistling sound, pierced fiercely towards Lu Jingchen's heart. This spear was as fast as lightning, powerful and heavy, tearing the surrounding air apart with a hissing sound.

"Watch out!" Su Muyue exclaimed.

But Lu Jingchen stood still, motionless. Just as the spear tip was about to pierce his chest, he slowly extended his right hand and gently pinched it between two fingers.

"clang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

Helian Ba's powerful spear thrust was actually caught in mid-air by Lu Jingchen using only two fingers.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

The smiles on the faces of the Helian family disciples froze instantly, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at the scene before them.

Helian Ba ​​was dumbfounded. He felt as if his spear was sandwiched between two mountains, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Helian Ba ​​screamed in disbelief. "My War God Spear is forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, indestructible! How could you possibly hold it with your fingers?!"

Lu Jingchen's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he tightened his grip slightly.

"Snap—!"

A piercing cracking sound rang out.

That supposedly indestructible War God Spear was actually crushed by Lu Jingchen!

The gun barrel fell to the ground with a clang.

Helian Ba ​​looked at the broken spear shaft in his hand, and his expression changed from shock to despair.

"My War God Spear... My ancestral heirloom..."

Lu Jingchen casually tossed away the crumbs in his hand and said indifferently, "Now, do you still think you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Helian Ba ​​suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with venom: "I'll fight you to the death!"

He swung the broken gun barrel at Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen dodged to the side and casually slapped him in the chest.

"Bang!"

Helian Ba ​​was sent flying backward like a tattered sack, crashing heavily into the castle gate and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Master!"

The disciples of the Helian family exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward.

"act recklessly."

Lu Jingchen snorted coldly, and with a flash, he rushed into the crowd.

His movements were as fast as lightning, each punch and kick carrying immense force. The Helian family disciples were no match for him; one by one, they were sent flying, screaming in agony.

In less than a minute, hundreds of Helian family disciples had all fallen to the ground, groaning in agony.

Lu Jingchen walked up to Helian Ba, looking down at him condescendingly: "Now, are you convinced?"

Helian Ba ​​lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. He knew that the gap between him and Lu Jingchen was simply worlds apart.

"I...I give up..." Helian Ba ​​said with difficulty, "I am willing to disband the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, apologize to the Alliance, and obey the Alliance Leader's command."

"Very good." Lu Jingchen nodded. "Remember your promise. If you dare to go against your word again, it won't be so simple next time."

Just then, Lu Jingchen's satellite phone suddenly rang. It was a call from a disciple stationed at Kunlun Mountain, his voice filled with extreme panic:

"Alliance Leader Lu! Something terrible has happened! The seal on Kunlun Mountain has loosened again! This time, a huge crack has appeared! And... a little girl has walked out of the crack!"

"A little girl?" Lu Jingchen frowned. "What little girl?"

"I don't know! She looked only seven or eight years old, wearing a white dress, and was incredibly beautiful. But... but she killed more than a dozen of our brothers! The moment she touched someone, they turned to ashes! We couldn't stop her at all!"

Lu Jingchen's expression changed instantly.

A power capable of turning a person to ashes is definitely not from an ordinary otherworldly monster.

"Don't make any rash moves, stay outside, I'm coming right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen said to everyone, "Something has happened at Kunlun Mountain. We need to get there immediately."

Without delay, everyone got into the car and sped off towards Kunlun Mountain.

Six hours later, the group arrived at the Dragon's Lair in Kunlun Mountain.

The valley was a scene of devastation, littered with corpses and bloodstains. The bodies of more than a dozen Xuanmen disciples had turned into grayish-white powder, scattered on the ground.

The crack at the entrance to the dragon's lair was twice as large as before. Black demonic energy surged out of the crack, forming a black column of smoke.

A little girl in a white dress stood in front of the crack, her back to the crowd. Her hair was black and reached her waist; she looked innocent and naive.

"Little friend, don't be afraid, we're here to save you." Elder Mingyue was kind-hearted and thought she was a child who had been captured by a monster. She slowly walked over and tried to pick her up.

"Don't go over there!" Lu Jingchen shouted.

But it was too late.

The little girl slowly turned around.

Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll's, but her eyes were pure black, without a trace of white.

She gave Elder Mingyue a strange smile, then gently reached out and touched Elder Mingyue's arm.

"ah--!"

Elder Mingyue let out a piercing scream. Her arm turned grayish-white at a visible speed, then turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

"Elder Mingyue!"

Elder Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to support Elder Mingyue, who was swaying precariously.

"So... such powerful corrosive force..." Elder Mingyue's face turned deathly pale, her whole body trembling with pain. "She... she's not human..."

The little girl giggled, her voice clear and melodious like a silver bell, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

"Finally... I've arrived in this world..."

"Who are you?" Lu Jingchen looked at her coldly, emanating a faint aura of a true dragon.

The little girl tilted her head, looking at Lu Jingchen with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "I am the Abyss Vanguard Officer, Mei. You're the human who defeated Chi You? You don't look that impressive."

"Abyss Vanguard?" Lu Jingchen was startled. "Where is your main force?"

"Don't rush," Mei said with a smile. "I'm just scouting ahead. In three months, our Abyss Legion's million-strong army will arrive in this world through the first major passage. At that time, all of you will become my snacks."

She licked her lips, her eyes filled with greed: "Especially you, you smell like a true dragon. If I eat you, I'll definitely become stronger."

Before she could finish speaking, Mei's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

"Be careful!"

Lu Jingchen pushed Su Muyue away.

The next second, Mei's hand appeared where Su Muyue had just been standing.

"You reacted pretty quickly." Mei's voice came from behind Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen suddenly turned around and threw a punch.

But his fist passed right through Mei's body and hit nothing but air.

"It's useless." Mei's voice rang in his ear, "I am an energy being; physical attacks are ineffective against me."

She reached out and grabbed at Lu Jingchen's back.

"Lu Jingchen!" Su Muyue shouted, unleashing a golden sword aura.

The sword energy pierced through Mei's body and struck the wall, leaving a large hole.

"It's useless, I already said physical attacks are ineffective." Mei laughed smugly.

Just then, Lu Jingchen suddenly activated the power of the True Dragon, and golden flames erupted from his entire body.

"The fire of the true dragon will consume all things!"

Golden flames instantly enveloped Mei.

"ah--!"

The demon let out a piercing scream, and her body began to twist and deform.

"Impossible! What kind of fire is this?! How could it hurt me?!"

"Fire that can hurt you." Lu Jingchen said coldly, increasing the output of the flames.

Mei's body grew fainter and fainter, and she was about to be burned to ashes.

"I refuse to accept this!" Mei screamed in despair. "The Abyss Legion won't let you go! In three months, you will all be dead!"

After she finished speaking, her body completely turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Lu Jingchen extinguished the flames, walked to the crack, and looked at the churning demonic energy inside with an extremely solemn expression.

From the fragments of Mei's remaining memories, he saw an incredibly terrifying scene:

In the boundless abyss, countless hideous monsters are gathering. They blot out the sky, their numbers unimaginable.

A colossal figure seated on a black throne coldly gazes toward Earth.

He is the Lord of the Abyss, and the true mastermind behind it all.

Three months later, he will personally lead a million-strong Abyss Legion to invade Earth.
