Chapter 231: Sword and flame

The fight was about to begin!

Shua!

Chu Tian slowly drew out the Netherworld Sword and said with a relaxed expression, "The Heavenly Sword Young Master really recovered quickly. Just a few weeks and you recovered your heroic bearings, this really makes others feel surprised."

Chu Xinghe slowly opened his eyes and his deep, sharp eyes looked over. "Keng, Keng, keng!" The sound of swords whistling rang out and the several golden swords slowly spread out behind Chu Xinghe, creating a cold glowing barrier.

"Your style is pretty beautiful." Chu Tian shook his head, "But you are just decorating yourself in gold!"

Chu Xinghe did not bother bickering with Chu Tian.

With a kick.

That golden sword stabbed into the ground floated up and he grabbed it. Pointing out with the blade, his blue robe danced even though there was no wind. The swords behind him soared into the sky and an ear piercing cry like thousands of hawks filled the air.

The arena was filled with noise, but it instantly became silent. The expressions on the crowd all froze. They all swallowed their saliva while their eyes popped out, like they had just seen a ghost!

Chu Xinghe was like a general and the flying swords were like his soldiers.

The few dozen swords soared into the clouds and continuously split apart. In the blink of an eye, they turned into several thousand swords. The dense crowd of golden flying swords released a cold sword qi and they were all pointing down. The light released a strong pressure that even cracked the ground underneath it. This aura was strong enough to crush mountains and destroy rivers.

"Ten Thousand Sword Fall!"

Chu Xinghe's ice cold voice resounded like a god's voice. It was like the countless swords received an order as they turned into golden light and rained down on Chu Tian. The strong aura and the wails from the wind, it was hard to imagine just how fast it was. It created a pressure like a torrent of rain, causing everyone to hold their breaths

Too fast!

Too strong!

Just based on this one violent storm like attack, everyone could tell that Chu Xinghe had broken through, reaching the 5th Awakened Soul Layer!

In the past, Chu Tian had beaten a 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator at the 1st Awakened Soul Layer, but Chu Xinghe had beaten 5th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivators and could fight 6th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivators at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

Today, Chu Xinghe had reached the 5th Awakened Soul Layer!

It did not just end there!

Chu Xinghe's sword art was even more violent and sharp, it was clear that the quality of his cultivation technique had also increased!

Chu Xinghe was basically invincible in the Illustrious Soul Realm, even the three family heads would not be a match for him! Too strong! He really was too strong! If the other three young masters were compared to Chu Xinghe, they were nothing more than trash!

His Mind's Lamp was lit.

Then his Divine Sense was fully released.

Chu Xinghe felt this vast Divine Sense, but he revealed a cold smile. He really was stupid, this was no use. His swords had no dead angle and could not be dodged. His only choice was to be slaughtered by the ten thousand swords!

How could Chu Tian not see this? This violent storm of swords was like a perfect net. With the dense attacks, it had covered every possible dead angle. Even the Divine Sense could not find a possible way to break through it.

Since there was no chance of avoiding it, then he wouldn't try to dodge it!

The jet black ancient sword released a strong destructive might that increase Chu Tian's aura by several times. The black ancient sword source spirit was linked to destruction because when the Demon God's Sword was released, a demon god's aura filled the area and a wild strength was released that shattered everything.

Peng!

Countless blades fell onto Chu Tian, but they were instantly affected by the wild power and were all shattered to pieces. The fragments fell like rain around Chu Tian. Even though one or two swords did reach him, they were turned into fragments by the starlight barrier.

The members of the three families revealed looks of panic.

Illustrious Soul Realm, this was the power of the Illustrious Soul Realm!

How did Chu Tian become this strong?

This was impossible!

Everyone could clearly see that Chu Tian had broken through to the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, and had become a true Illustrious Soul Realm Expert…..But even if he did reach the Illustrious Soul Realm and his source spirit was strengthened, he shouldn't be this strong. He used his source spirit sword to release a sword qi that created a strong pressure around him. When the dense amounts of flying swords reached him, they had been shattered by the pressure alone!

Chu Tian calmly stood in the rain of swords.

Chu Xinghe looked at him without any expressions on his face.

That violent storm continued, but whether it was the attacker or the defender, neither of them seemed to care. This attack that could easily destroy iron was regarded as nothing by both the attacker and the defender…..It clearly demonstrated just how strong the two of them were!

This felt strange!

The Chu Family members could not understand this at all!

How did Chu Tian suddenly breakthrough? The three families worked together to block Miracle Commerce's resource line, so Chu Tian couldn't have possibly refined a Sacred Grade Pill!

Just the strength of his source spirit was enough to block this strong attack!

Why was Chu Tian's source spirit this strong!

The jet black sword source spirit was comparable to a God Level Source Spirit, it was enough to make all the sword cultivators of the Chu Family feel shame.

"This sword array is giant, but the power is too scattered, so there isn't enough strength behind it." There were shattered sword fragments all around Chu Tian, "If you want to kill me, then take out your true skills."

"As you wish."

Chu Xinghe was completely calm. It did not matter if he broke through, if they had been at the same cultivation level, then he might be able to fight back. Chu Tian's cultivation was one level lower than Chu Xinghe's, so Chu Xinghe did not think he would lose."

"Roar!"

A golden flood dragon came from Chu Shao Yang's body and the broken sword fragments scattered across the ground gathered like it was drawn in by a magnet, reforming in the middle of the air. The vast power of the source spirit erupted out with a dragon's roar, transforming into five-six meter long flood dragons.

The sky filled with golden dragons became a beautiful sight, far surpassing the imaginations of the crowd. The golden flood dragons released golden light, which was so dazzling that people could not stare directly at it.

"Three Hundred and Sixty Wandering Dragon Sword Array!"

With the three hundred and sixty flood dragons released, could the Demon God's Sword stop it?

These three hundred and sixty golden flood dragons were like piranhas charging at prey. Chu Tian tightly knit his brows and suddenly raised the sword in his hand, forcefully pointing it in the sky. The surrounding ground formed cracks as strong blue flames began to fill the sky, forming hundreds of fireballs. Each fireball quickly changed shapes, turning into a fire demon with two horns on its head.

The hundreds of fire demons charged forward to greet the golden dragons!

These were all doppelgangers of "Netherworld". While their individual strengths were not strong, they all had explosive might. The several hundred fire demons collided with the several hundred golden dragons, creating explosions, filling the sky with flames and golden dragon fragments.

Chu Xinghe felt a bit angry.

Why does this fellow have so many skills? He would not waste time, this one slash had to kill him!

"Man and sword as one!"

Chu Xinghe made his move and unparalleled killing intent filled the sky. He raised his hand high up and the sword he pointed out released a giant sword qi that soared into the sky.

"Heaven Cutting Art!"

When faced with this heaven rending sword qi, the Netherworld Flames gathered on the sword's blade, increasing the source spirit's power. Chu Tian wielded the flaming sword as he took a step forward, releasing an attack that could shake rivers and mountains. This was the Netherworld Flame Sword's third skill that abandoned speed and camouflage, but erupted with destructive might – the "Netherworld Ghost Slash!"

The dark blue sword qi and the golden sword qi clashed in the air, creating an intense collision that made the arena continue to tremble!

Finally, the golden sword qi won and slammed into Chu Tian's body, shattering the starlight surrounding him. However, the sword qi had been weakened and although it was very strong, it was not enough to kill Chu Tian, only being enough to cause some damage to him.

Blood flowed from the corner of Chu Tian's mouth. He laughed and said, "Your unique skill isn't that effective against me."

With these words.

Chu Tian's Starlight Immortal Body quickly regenerated.

"Unique skill? You're wrong!" Chu Xinghe's eyes sparkled with a light. Over a hundred flood dragons returned behind him and quickly intertwined with one another, "I'll let you see a true unique skill!"

"Roar!"

With a wild roar, the hundred flood dragons became a single ten meter long giant dragon. Each scale could be clearly seen and each one was as sharp as a blade, releasing a sharp sword qi.

The wrath of a peerless beast quickly filled the arena.

Everyone felt a suffocating pressure come over them. Whether it was the golden dragon's shape or aura, it was just like a real flood dragon.

Something that shocked everyone then occurred.

This flood dragon moved to Chu Xinghe's side, opening its mouth, it swallowed Chu Xinghe whole. In that second, Chu Xinghe and the giant flood dragon fused. The man became the dragon and the dragon became the man, two as one, sharing everything!

"Roar!"

The giant flood dragon's strength suddenly increased, becoming over a hundred meters long. With a wave of its tail, a hole formed in the arena floor. There was a large gully in the center of the hole, like it had been slashed with a giant sword.

The crowd turned silent.

What kind of magical power was this!

"This is really incredible!" Even Boss Yu's expression changed, "This strength is not something a person in the Illustrious Soul Realm should have, it is no different from someone at the True Soul Realm!"

When Chu Tian was faced with Chu Xinghe who had turned into this powerful golden flood dragon, his eyes suddenly became a little serious.

In the trial tower, the man and sword as one was Chu Xinghe's highest realm, but now he could become one with the flood dragon. This flood dragon was formed from sword qi and was as hard as steel, completely invulnerable. Even if a normal Illustrious Soul Realm Cultivator made a move, he wouldn't be able to break this flood dragon's body, not to mention harming Chu Xinghe inside the dragon.

Chu Xinghe fusing with the flood dragon increased his strength several times. His battle power could no longer be compared to the one he had in the trial tower!

The golden dragon released a golden sword qi from its mouth that had the power to split apart the earth, which instantly shot at Chu Tian.

Pa!

Chu Tian's starlight barrier shattered to pieces and he was sent flying to the side of the arena.

"What's wrong? Have you already lost most of your spirit energy? Have you already used all your moves?" The golden dragon's hundred meter long body circled in the air, as a deep and terrifying voice filled the air, "As for me, I am just getting started!"

Chapter 232: Golden Flood Dragon versus Flame Demon

When Chu Xinghe transformed into the flood dragon that surpassed the Illustrious Soul Realm, even if he fought against the three family heads, not only would he not be at a disadvantage, he even had a chance to win!

The sword qi from the golden flood dragon's mouth penetrated Chu Tian's defenses!

This was nothing more than a simple attack from Chu Xinghe, he had not used his real strength yet. There was a clear disparity in strength and Chu Xinghe no only had a higher cultivation base, his cultivation technique was also stronger.

The Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art» was known as the cultivation technique with the strongest attack in the Chu Family.

Chu Xinghe's «Imperial Flood Dragon Sword Art» was an ancient sword art inheritance and was not inferior to Chu Tian's «Netherworld Flame Sword» at all.

Although Chu Tian had already use his intelligence and skills to refine and optimize the «Netherworld Flame Sword», making it stronger than the «Imperial Flood Dragon Sword Art», he was still only in the Large Success Realm.

Chu Xinghe's two sword arts had reached the peak, reaching the highest realm!

This was a gap that couldn't be easily surpassed, even for someone like Chu Tian!

"Since you're out of tricks, then die in peace!"

Chu Xinghe did not need to drag this one, so he would end this fight with a full force attack. He would finally end Chu Tian, this fellow that never should have appeared.

The golden flood dragon gave a roar.

From the shining scales on its body, it released a wild amount of sword qi, turning into a sword qi storm. The giant dragon seemingly turned into a sword that no matter how strong the thing in front of it was, it would destroy it all.

"Wishing to end the fight in a single blow?"

Chu Tian could not fight Chu Xinghe head on, so he raised his Netherworld Sword and released all his spirit energy for a single attack. The wild Netherworld Ghost Flames gathered around him and gathered around Chu Tian.

It did not gather on the blade's edge, but condensed right around Chu Tian.

This scene shocked everyone present. What was Chu Tian doing? Was he trying to light himself on fire?

"I'll let you have a taste of my handmade cultivation technique!" Chu Tian turned into a man of flames and a voice came from within the flames, "Flame Demon Transformation!"

Chu Tian's burning body continued to grow, until he became a ten meter tall giant.

That giant was completely composed of flames with two horns on its head and a pair of wings on its back, making it look like a terrifying demon. It released a sinister and cold abyss aura and the blue flames surrounding it did not dissipate, turning into crystals.

This move was too strong!

It completely surpassed their limits of cognition!

How did Chu Tian achieve this?

Actually Chu Xinghe transforming into the flood dragon was a higher realm of the man and sword as one.

When Chu Tian turned into the Flame Demon, he fused "Netherworld" into his body. This method came from the «Demon God Nine Changes» and was the same as the man and sword as one. This move was very dangerous because Chu Tian could not avoid being injured by the Netherworld Flame.

So he had to use the demon heart to balance it. The demon heart was the life core of the Hell Fire Demon and by having the demon heart on him, Chu Tian could turn into the Flame Demon and use the demon heart to protect himself.

The strength of the Netherworld Sword's spirit "Netherworld" depended on Chu Tian and itself. If the Netherworld Flame became stronger, Chu Tian had more spirit energy and the summoned Netherworld would be stronger.

When Chu Tian summoned Netherworld at the peak 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, it was already at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer and had defeated Shangguan Feichen with a single fist. With Chu Tian's current strength being increased, Netherworld's strength would increase by a level.

Chu Tian summoned the weapon spirit Netherworld and combined it with his body, so he turned into a giant ten meter tall Flame Demon.

When the golden dragon released sword qi.

"Roar!"

Flame Demon roared into the sky.

The dark flames was released and a giant sword appeared in his hand. This blade had the power of the demon god, containing a destructive might that could sweep everything.

A single slash was sent out!

The golden flood dragon's sword qi was shattered!

Chu Xinghe was finally filled with amazement…..This was impossible!

When the golden flood dragon was in a daze, the Flame Demon took a heaven trembling step and brandished the giant, black demon god's sword. The giant sword containing power that could destroy mountains and rivers fell onto the golden flood dragon's body, chopping off a piece of that invulnerable body, being sent flying by that powerful might. It was like a snake thrown away by a snake as it slammed into the ground, creating a giant hole.

Dong!

The entire stage trembled.

The sword wielding Flame Demon chased after the golden dragon. The golden dragon swept its tail and a wild sword qi was released. The Flame Demon quickly blocked it, but it was knocked back several steps.

Everyone was deeply shocked by this fight.

One had turned into a golden flood dragon and the other had turned into a giant Flame Demon. This fight had completely exceeded their imaginations, turning into a fight of heaven shaking demons and gods.

The two sides were both Awakened Soul Realm Cultivators!

The golden flood dragon began to revolve, turning into a giant golden drill, releasing a storm of shocking sword qi. The giant Flame Demon raised his black sword and with an earth rending aura, he began to condense all his strength.

"Die!"

The high speed rotating turned into a giant golden sword. All the scales on its body dissipated to form a giant sword that flew right at the Flame Demon.

The black giant sword swept across, shattering all the flying swords.

The Flame Demon once again raised the black flaming sword and condensed the strength within to the peak. Chu Tian overdrew his body, the weapon spirit, and his source spirit, drawing out all the power he had and focusing into the sword.

This was a sword that determined life and death!

Either he won or lost, there was no third option!

Chu Xinghe could feel that Chu Tian's life and death deciding aura and he did not hesitate. Even a single weakness in this fight could lead to death, so winning could only be gained from going all out!

The golden flood dragon turned into a golden giant sword that accumulated tens of thousands of sword qi into a single blade. A heaven shaking aura was released as the giant golden sword slashed at the Flame Demon!

Heaven Cutting Art!

Man and sword as one? What was the man and sword as one! Chu Xinghe had completely turned into his sword and this was the true man and sword as one!

Netherworld Ghost Slash!

Chu Tian released a quick and powerful slash that not only contained Chu Tian's power and the power of his source spirit, it even included the weapon spirit Netherworld's power. After this slash was over, Netherworld would weaken and would fall into a deep sleep!

The two sword glows collided in a violent clash.

Cracks began to form all around the ground on the arena, as the protective field exploded with the violent force. The terrifying energy turned into a storm that rampaged in all directions. Some spectators that were close to the arena were even sent flying by the force.

Too strong!

These were two monsters!

Chu Shi watched this from afar and he revealed a frown. He could not determine who won as he gave the order, "Move! Move now! Kill Chu Tian! Kill everyone related to Miracle Commerce!"

Those Chu Family swordsman hiding in the ground gave up on hiding and jumped out with their swords.

Instantly.

The crowd fell into chaos.

"Murder!"

"The Chu Family is killing people!"

Chu Shi's order was very sinister. Not only would he kill those from Miracle Commerce, he would kill those related to Miracle Commerce!

He wanted everyone to know.

Who the real master of Central State was!

Only a blood warning could remind people the severe consequences of standing on the wrong side!

The eight hundred elite swordsmen of the Chu Family made everyone shocked. One fourth of the members were Awakened Soul Cultivators and the weakest was at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer. They were divided into groups as they moved through the arena, mercilessly killing anyone related to Miracle Commerce!

"Bastard!"

Meng Qingwu angrily clenched her fists. She never thought that the three families would be this evil. This was clearly a grudge between them and Miracle Commerce, but they were taking innocent lives. They were treating lives like grass!

Meng Qingwu saw many cooperators die under the Chu Family's sword. Although she was feeling anxious, she was also helpless.

Miracle Commerce hadn't developed for long and their only battle force was the Underworld Mercenaries, but they hadn't been developed enough yet and it was already hard for them to guard themselves. How could they compare to the Chu Family with a military background and experts like clouds?

In that moment.

Shocked cries and pitiful wails came from the arena.

No one would have thought that coming to see his contest would result in seeing an unprecedented change in Central State City. Countless people were filled with panic and trampled some people, sending the arena into chaos.

"Meng Qingwu, give me your life!"

Meng Qingwu wanted to help, but she suddenly felt a sharp aura freezing her. She saw a giant sword appear above her head that contained the powers to make the mountain rivers flow backwards.

"Soul Sword Secret Art! Heaven Cutting Art!"

Chu Shanhe wielded a giant sword glow which was the Chu Family's strongest move. He did not care about harming the innocent people at all!

If Meng Qingwu died.

Miracle Commerce would lose one of their leaders.

This was equivalent to taking off one of Chu Tian's arms!

Meng Qingwu's cultivation was not weak and she practiced the «Starlight Immortal Body», but so what? Chu Shanhe was the Chu Family's head and if he personally made a move, how could Meng Qingwu survive? Even if the eighteen divine blood Yin Corpses made a move, they still couldn't Chu Shanhe's slash.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from the crowd.

A giant silver shark jumped out of the crowd and bit apart the giant sword glow with its open mouth!

Chu Shanghe was shocked!

Being able to release a strong attack with a source spirit, wasn't this on the level of a True Soul Expert? Chen Bingyu and Yun Tianhe weren't here, so could Miracle Commerce have another True Soul Expert?

However!

Even if it was a True Soul Expert!

Chu Xinghe had released the strongest attack from the «Soul Sword Secret Art» which had the strongest attack power in Central State, so how could the power of a source spirit easily break it? What kind of monster was this!

After the giant silver shark bit apart the sword glow, it continued charging into the sky, moving at Chu Shanhe.

"Scram!"

Chu Shanhe's large sword slashed down on the giant shark. With a violent strength, the giant shark shattered and turned into light that filled the sky.

Inside the countless beams of light, a white haired old man charged out. He condensed a ball of water in his hand and shot it at Chu Shanhe, wildly releasing countless beads of water.

"Ah!"

Chu Shanhe could not block this at all.

His body was pierced several times by the water drops.

Boss Yu kicked off in the sky and summoned another giant shark source spirit that bit Chu Shanhe. It tore him in half and his blood essence was swallowed by the shark.

"Family head!"

The Chu Family was shocked.

The respected family head of the Chu Family!

A family head in the prime of his life!

He could lead the Chu Family for another twenty-thirty years, but he had unknowingly died here, not even knowing his killer!

Chapter 233: Chaos in Central State

Boss Yu was also a shrewd old owl level character, otherwise how could the Giant Shark Gang progress by leaps and bounds in just twenty years?

Not only was Boss Yu cruel and merciless, he had also reached the 9th Awakened Soul Layer. After being baptized by the sea race relic for over twenty years, he had already reached the Perfection Realm. Although his land battle strength could not compare to his sea battle strength, it was not something ordinary people could block.

"Daring to kill the Chu Family's head!"

"Die!"

A cold wind filled the air!

Chu Shi angrily released his source spirit, pulling out the blood red sword on his back, stabbing out at Boss Yu. Before the blade arrived, the aura fell down and a blood like mist enveloped Boss Yu. This was the weapon spirit formed by Chu Shi after killing people for countless years, throwing a person's mind to chaos and making them go made.

Boss Yu also was affected by the sword and saw many illusions, but with Boss Yu's deep cultivations, he quickly broke free and used the bone cane to block the blood red sword.

Dang!

Boss Yu was pushed by several steps by the sword qi and the fish bone cane continued to shake. A blood red stain remained on the white of the cane, as if it was slowly corrupting the weapon.

"You have some skills!" Under Boss Yu's mask, a pair of blue eyes stared at the enemy, sparkling with light, "The Chu Family really deserves to be one of the Four Great Families. It has been a long time since anyone has forced this old man back."

"Unknown person, give me your life!" Chu Shi's sword once again released a blood red glow, "Soul Sword Secret Art! Chaotic Storm Slash!"

Countless beams of sword qi was released and each sword qi exploded, creating a wild storm of attacks.

Boss Yu revealed a frown.

This attack was not only aimed at Boss Yu, it was also aimed at Meng Qingwu and all the surrounding people. Chu Shi knew that Boss Yu's cultivation was not low, so he chose to kill Meng Qingwu first!

"Fish God Barrier!"

Boss Yu threw his cane in front of Meng Qingwu and a water barrier appeared, being as thing as a cicada's wing, but having an astonishing strength and firmness. Chu Shi's sharp sword qi could not pass through it.

"Ah! Ah!"

The surrounding people were not as lucky. Most of them could not dodge the attacks and were hit by the sword qi, creating over a hundred casualties instantly.

Chu Tian had given Boss Yu the order to protect Meng Qingwu and hadn't told him to protect anyone else. Boss Yu was a ruthless character, he did not care about the other people, he just needed to take care of Chu Shi and end everything in one fell swoop!

As Chu Shi was preparing to take a step forward to attack.

Several beads of water shot at him.

Those seemingly ordinary beads of water fell onto the blood red blood and it released a violent power. The power condensed on the edge of the blade and knocked Chu Shi back several steps.

What is happening!

Who is this person?

His cultivation base was deeper than Chen Bingyu's!

It was impossible for Central State to have this kind of character!

While Chu Shi was being shocked, the fight on the stage had been decided. The arena had many cracks in it from the sword qi and Chu Xinghe was lying on the ground with a pale face. Chu Tian had several injuries formed from sword qi, but he was still standing at least.

At the deciding moment…..Chu Tian had won again!

Chu Tian had directly beaten Chu Xinghe!

"Kill him! Kill him!" Chu Shi angrily shouted, "Kill Chu Tian!"

Dozens of Chu Family experts charged onto the stage. Chu Tian had already been injured and could not fight anymore, this was a good chance to eliminate him. As for how they would explain this to the Imperial City and the Divine Wind Marquis, they did not have time to think about this now. If Chu Tian did not die, the three families would be finished!

"Die Chu Tian!"

The various Chu Family swordsman all launched their attacks.

"Who dares make a move against the Chairman!"

Four figures jumped into the sky at once, all of them summoning a giant silver shark, blocking the Chu Family members. They four of them easily took care of them, killing the Awakened Soul Experts of the Chu Family!

Four True Soul Realm Experts!

Chu Shi was completely stunned.

Everyone was completely stunned by this. When did Chu Tian have this kind of strength by his side!

The arena's situation fell into a deadlock.

Although the Chu Tian had more experts, the Chu Family had been completely prepared, bringing out over two hundred Awakened Soul Experts. It could be said that they had brought out everything. There were several Illustrious Soul Realm experts in their ranks that were determined to kill Chu Tian. Even if the five Yu Brothers worked together, it was still hard to block them.

"Kill Chu Tian and you'll be rewarded five hundred million!" Chu Shi roared into the sky, "Kill him!"

Five hundred million gold coins!

This was an amount that could make anyone in Central State City go crazy!

The Chu Family experts were like a pack of wolves, continuously attacking Chu Tian. Boss Yu's cultivation was higher than Chu Shi's, but Boss Yu was suited to fighting in water. Chu Shi's sword art was quite strong and had a shocking battle strength, so no one could gain the upper hand.

The Chu Family experts surrounded the four brothers. If they were just protecting themselves, then they could still hold on, but not only did they have to protect themselves, they also had to protect Chu Tian which made it difficult.

The Chu Family swordsman had high attainment in their sword art and strong battle power. Once they attacked together, their killing strength was quite strong. The four brothers held on for a while, but now they seemed injured.

No matter what the price was, Chu Tian had to die!

Under the wild attacks of the Chu Family, the four brothers could not hold on any longer. With several elders at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer working together, they destroyed the defenses of the weakest Old Fifth Yu and injured him. Then they charged at Chu Tian.

This was a young man with a monstrous talent!

But he was still destined to die under the Chu Family's sword!

When the Chu Family experts were about to finish it, a little snow white fox took out a puppet that instantly turned into the giant Hell Fire Demon. The Hell Fire Demon released a terrifying aura the moment it appeared that was at least in the True Soul Realm.

The Chu Family elder that attacked was sent back by the Hell Fire Demon in the end.

Dong!

Several strong sounds rang out.

Several Chu Family elders were slammed down by Hell Fire's fists, instantly burning away their five visceras, taking away their lives!

Chu Tian gave a laugh, "I'll have to disappoint you, I won't die that easily!"

"What is this thing?"

When the Hell Fire Demon stood up, the Chu Family experts were shocked.

Cbu Tian coldly said, "Finish them!"

The Hell Fire Demon gave an angry roar and charged at the Chu Family members. After several senior elders were killed, the Chu Family's morale plummeted!

This monster was too strong!

"Damn!"

Chu Shi's eyes turned red as he gave an angry roar. His scarlet sword turned into an illusion like a venomous snake, wishing to bypass Boss Yu and directly kill Chu Tian.

The Hell Fire Demon sent out a fireball. It had to be known that the Hell Fire Demon was on the level of the Eight Marquises, so even a casual fireball would be filled with a strong power. When Chu Shi raised his sword to block it, his protective spirit energy was completely evaporated.

The violent energy directly sent him flying.

Good opportunity!

Boss Yu turned into a giant shark and slammed into Chu Shi. Chu Shi was sent into the ground and his protective spirit energy was completely shattered.

"I'm unwilling!"

"My Chu Family was eliminated by a family traitor!"

Chu Shi spat out blood while angrily roaring. What kind of prestige did the Chu Family have? With a powerful character like Chu Xinghe and experts like clouds, they could have remained in power for at least several hundred years.

Who would have thought that the Chu Family would have this kind of ending!

The person that made the Chu Family fall was someone of the Chu Family, what a joke this was!

"You talk too much!"

Boss Yu flicked his hand and a ball of water condensed in his hand, directly killing Chu Shi on the ground. This True Soul Expert with the title "Blood Drinking Sword", being a grand character in Central State for all these years had died like this.

The Family Head was dead!

The great remote elder was dead!

Chu Xinghe had also been finished!

The Chu Family's elites had been half killed. What hope did the Chu Family have left!

However, the arena was still filled with chaos with rivers of blood running, as countless innocent people were slaughtered in the chaos.

"The Blood Drinking Sword is only this strong!" Chu Tian picked up the top quality soul weapon, Blood Drinking Sword that Chu Shi dropped and raised it over his head, "Stop fighting. The Chu Family's great remote elder is dead and everything is over. If you throw down your swords, we won't kill you!"

The Chu Family members all had pale faces. Not only did the Family Head die, even the remote great elder had died.

How could they still not surrender?

The Chu Family had been completely defeated!

The Chu Family began to throw away their swords!

The Yu Brothers gave a long sigh of relief. It was was a good thing the Chu Family had surrendered because their battle strengths were really powerful. If they continued fighting, then the four brothers would have found it hard to retreat in one piece!

Although the Chu Family surrendered, the crisis was far from being over. Central State City had completely fallen into chaos.

The Luo Family's great remote elder Luo Wanxiang and Family Head Luo Liancheng were leading an army to attack Miracle Commerce!

The Ye Family's great remote elder Ye Yi and Family Head Ye Wudao were wildly attacking the Yun Family headquarters!

There was also a wild slaughter outside of Central State City. The army of the grand general Xiong Wuji was fighting against the Ye Family's wolf cavalry!

The Four Great Families and the military were all involved in this fight. Right now, there would be a bloody storm and a rivers of blood would flow. Countless people would be killed as the power structure was rearranged. It was hard to imagine just how brutal this fight would be!

There were many fires all over Central State City and half the city was enveloped in smoke!

There were people fighting on every street. There were many powers pulled into the fight and many experts fighting in the war.

Chu Tian revealed a frown, "We have to quickly end this fight!"

Meng Qingwu was clear that if they continued fighting like this, the entire Central State City would be done for.

Central State City was not a normal city, but rather a Main City. If a Main City was destroyed, the kingdom would be angered. Miracle Commerce would not be able to escape from being involved!

The three great families were hundred year old powers that had many relations with various powers. If Miracle Commerce wanted to destroy them, they had to do it silently. Otherwise, they might anger an important person in the Imperial City and suffer unimaginable consequences.

Right now they had no other choices.

Central State City was now a chaotic battlefield, which had never happened in the hundreds of years it had been built. Miracle Commerce had to take this chance and eliminate all their competition, establishing their own position. After they had occupied Central State, then they would have the power to fight against the various influences!

They couldn't rest yet!

They still had to fight!

Chapter 234: Still in chaos

The chaos on the Central State arena had not calmed down that long.

"Chairman! Chairman! This is bad!" Lin Mu ran over with a face covered in blood, clearly having risked his life to break through the blockade, "The headquarters has already been cracked open by the Luo Family. The Luo Family's great remote elder Luo Wanxiang is with their troops, creating heavy casualties. We can't hold on much longer."

Everyone's heart sank.

Central State had already fallen into chaos.

Slaughters were occurring everywhere.

Miracle Commerce didn't have enough combat strength, so not to mention calming the chaos, it was hard for them to protect themselves. Meng Qingwu had arranged Chen Bingyu to personally command Miracle Commerce's headquarters, but now that the Luo Family's great remote elder Luo Wanxiang had appeared, the situation was clearly very dangerous.

The three great families took this opportunity to wipe them out.

Although the main targets were Miracle Commerce and the Yun Family, the families and powers that cooperated with Miracle Commerce would not be able to escape this chaos. The longer this continued, the more serious the situation became.

So what if Chu Tian eliminated the Chu Family?

If this situation continued, their partners' families would be destroyed and Miracle Commerce would lose their factories. What would they gain from that? The final situation would be being mutually hurt and Miracle Commerce would lose everything they worked hard to gain in the past few months!

This time the situation in Central State was big. If Miracle Commerce could not find a firm footing after this chaos, they would be eliminated by foreign influences.

"Yingying and the others should be facing a dangerous situation. We must end the fight as quickly as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Meng Qingwu guessed that there would be chaos in Central State, but she had never expected it to be this much. She had underestimated the three great families, "We don't have a lot of fighting strength, so what should we do?"

We don't have a lot of fighting strength? No!

There were the three thousand elites of the Giant Shark Gang on the Central State dock!

Chu Tian said to Boss Yu, "I need the Giant Shark Gang's power to calm this chaos! This is a good chance for the Giant Shark Gang to clear their name. If you calm the chaos in Central State, it would be considered a great merit!"

The five Yu Brothers nodded at each other.

The Giant Shark Gang decided to follow Miracle Commerce, so they should make a contribution to show their sincerity. Since Miracle Commerce had met trouble, this was the time the Giant Shark Gang should help them.

Once this war was over!

Miracle Commerce would not have a match in Central State!

The entire Central State would belong to Miracle Commerce!

Moreover, the Giant Shark Gang were considered pirates. If they helped Central State calm this chaos, it would be a good chance to wipe themselves clean of this image!

"Kill!"

"Head to the docks!"

As they began to leave the arena.

The sounds of horse hooves could be heard.

Elite cavalry soldiers completely covered in equipment was like a blue wave passing through the streets, heading towards the arena with cold glowing spears. The leader was no one else but mayor Feng Yunlong!

Chu Tian did not die?

What about Chu Shi? Chu Xinghe? The eight hundred Chu Family elites?

This was clearly a perfect plan, so why did this outcome occur?

"Rebel Chu Tian, where are you going!" Mayor Feng Yunlong was covered in armour, looking at Chu Tian with torch like eyes, "You have instigated this chaos in Central State and affected over a million citizens, a crime worth ten thousand deaths! This is an order for the Storm Cavalry, kill Chu Tian!"

It was the Storm Cavalry!

The strongest cavalry unit of Central State!

The Storm Cavalry was the strongest cavalry unit in the Southern Summer Country and every county had a unit which would give the mayor enough strength to deal with any situation.

This unit was coming forward.

The only person that could command them were the Eight Marquises or the mayor, even Xiong Wuji did not have the qualification to command them. The Storm Cavalry were very strong with members generally being in the peak Body Refinement Realm and Awakened Soul Realm experts making up the majority of the unit. So, they did not even lose to the elite troops of the Four Great Families.

This was terrible!

Meng Qingwu's heart sank. With these elite troops appearing, even if they could break through, it would waste a lot of time. How long could the Miracle Commerce Headquarters hold on?

Once their headquarters fell to the enemy, they would lose their foundations!

Even if they did win in the end, it wouldn't mean anything!

Feng Yunlong raised his sword, "Seize the rebel Chu Tian, go!"

The hundred Storm Cavalry looked at each other in blank dismay, with not a single person going forward to follow this order.

Feng Yunlong flew into a rage, "What are you doing? Did you not hear the mayor's order?"

"Here is the Divine Wind Marquis' token!" Chu Tian took out a blue token from his chest, "The Divine Wind Marquis left the Storm Cavalry to me. Many thanks to the mayor for sending Chu Tian a fighting force at this critical moment!"

Feng Yunlong was enraged, "The Storm Cavalry are imperial guards, how can they take orders from a bystander! Kill! Kill him for me! Whoever dares disobey will be executed!"

The Storm Cavalry did not make a move.

Chu Tian was considered their benefactor and many of them admired Chu Tian's skills. The most important thing was that when the Divine Wind Marquis had gone to the Imperial City to report in, he had given them to Chu Tian to manage.

Perhaps the Divine Wind Marquis had already predicted that Central State would fall into chaos, so he gave the Storm Cavalry to Chu Tian as a precaution!

Chu Tian shouted, "Feng Yunlong has instigated the riot of the three great families, seize him for me!"

"He!"

Dozens of spears surrounded Feng Yunlong, almost making him vomit out blood!

"Send Feng Yunlong back to the mayor's palace and keep him there!" Feng Yunlong was the Divine Wind Marquis' younger cousin, so Chu Tian did not kill him and just sent a hundred troops to detain him in the mayor's palace, "Everyone else, come with me!"

"Yes!"

Chu Tian led several hundred cavalry as they charged out the city gates. The outside had already fallen into chaos with the Ye Family wolf cavalry fighting the Central State soldiers, creating a tragic battlefield.

It was a good thing that Meng Qingwu reminded Xiong Wuji to make his preparations.

Otherwise, if the wolf cavalry entered the city, the consequences would have been unimaginable as a sea of blood would have been made in Central State City.

"Kill!"

The Ye Family wolf cavalry were currently fighting against the Central State Army, but no one expected to have a free cavalry and a Hell Fire Demon puppet come out of the city and open a large hole in the wolf cavalry unit.

Xiong Wuji was wielding a spear while being covered in blood, fighting against Ye Wudao. When he saw this scene, he broke out in laughter, "Reinforcements are here!"

"Chu Tian!" Ye Wudao's eyes went wide in shock, "You actually haven't…."

He did not have the opportunity to say die.

The five Yu Brothers released a single giant silver shark, charging through the soldiers, creating a blood mist wherever it went. It finally slammed right into Ye Wudao.

Puchi!

The sound of flesh being torn could be heard.

Ye Wudao had been arrogant, but he died in the end without a complete corpse!

After the five brothers killed the enemy's leader, a horn sounded out.

The Giant Shark Gang elites already saw Central State fall into chaos, but didn't dare make a move without orders. Now that they had the five leaders' summon, the three thousand elites charged into Central State.

The Giant Shark Gang had only been established for twenty years, but relying on the treasure at the bottom of the lake, they had quickly increased their strength. For the three thousand elites of the Giant Shark Gang, if they fought on water, they were comparable to the elites of the Four Great Family. They were a little weaker on land, but they were still a strong fighting force!

"The Family Head is dead!"

The Ye Family's wolf cavalry had already fallen into chaos.

When the Giant Shark Gang gathered with Chu Tian's group, grouping up with Xiong Wuji's army and the Storm Cavalry, they already could not be stopped.

So what if the Ye Family had the largest private army in Central State City?

Chu Tian had charged in and completely turned the situation around!

The strongest army in Central State had been sent scattering.

Wolf corpses laid all around and there were countless human corpses, creating a river of blood!

"The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families are rioting!" Xiong Wuji raised his long spear and angrily roared, "The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families are creating a riot! Follow me to stop them!"

"Kill the rebels!"

The two thousand Central State Army soldiers charged into Central State City.

The Luo and Ye Families did not know that they had already lost on these two sides, continuing to launch their attacks. The Yun Family and Miracle Commerce almost couldn't hold on any longer.

At that time, Chu Tian brought troops to save them!

This was an overwhelming strength and the elites of the two families were quickly surrounded. Ye Yi and Luo Wanxiang never thought that this kind of ending would happen!

"Kill!"

Chu Tian gave a cold order.

With the five Yu Brothers, Yun Tianhe, and Chen Bingyu, the difference in True Soul Realm experts was clear. The two families could not resist at all and in the end, Ye Yi and Luo Wanxiang were both killed on the spot!

Through this fight.

The three great families, including the Yun Family, these families that had lasted over a hundred years, had already lost half their strength.

The chaos in Central State still continued. Chu Tian had Xiong Wuji surround the mayor's mansion, trapping Feng Yunlong inside. Then he led his troops to eliminate the three great families.

They would not kill those that surrender!

Otherwise they would all die!

This giant riot continued on for an entire day and night. The first day was for killing and the second day was covered in blood. This was a soul shocking day!

......

On the dawn of the next day.

The sunlight sparkled on Central State City.

There were countless vultures attracted by the smell of death, circling the city.

Although the killing had finally stopped, Central State City had been baptized by the war, with the entirety of Central State City being covered in a thick scent of blood.

There was a small river of blood outside the city. The so called strongest private army known as the Ye Family's wolf cavalry had been completely wiped out here. Most of the troops of Central State City had been heavily injured, with wolf, horse, and human corpses numbering in the tens of thousands, creating a tragic battlefield.

Smoke filled the inside of the city with traces of battles being seen everywhere. They were many houses that were burnt with guards grabbing buckets of water, trying to wash away the blood stains in the city.

Too tragic!

The lively Central State City had turned into a battlefield because the three great families launched an attack, killing at least thirty-forty thousand people in the riot. Since Central State City had been built, this was the most bloody incident that had ever occurred.

The three great families had been all defeated.

All their great remote elders and family heads had been killed.

The elites of the families had basically been crippled.

From this moment forth, the Central State City's Chu, Luo, and Ye Families had been finished, ending the reign of the Four Great Families. From the ruins, there would be a new ruler who was – Miracle Commerce!

Chapter 235: Confiscate their possessions! Confiscate their possessions!

The counterattack of the three great families was not an impulse, but a well thought out sinister plan.

However, the three great families had underestimated Chu Tian!

With the support of the Giant Shark Gang, not only was Miracle Commerce's Headquarters not destroyed, they also did not lose any core members. They used this strength to wipe out the three great families, becoming the final winners in this ward.

Chu Tian asked, "What are the casualties?"

Meng Qingwu replied, "The Miracle Commerce Restaurant has been burnt down, two magnetic sound towers were destroyed, and several factories were also destroyed. There were over a thousand staff casualties and several research institutes in the headquarters were attack, with several pieces of core research missing, but we are working hard to get them back."

"Damn!" Chu Tian grinded his teeth in anger, "The three great families are truly ruthless, so we can't be polite with them at all. Prepare some beast carriages, we will now confiscate their possessions!"

For a riots and conflicts of this scale, it was impossible for them to be not affected at all, that would be too ideal. However, Miracle Commerce did not receive any damage to their foundation, which could be considered a beautiful victory!

The three great families had lasted over a hundred years, which meant that they had to be quite rich!

It was unknown how much loot they would gain this time!

Chu Tian was already feeling impatient. Who told these fools to fight me, now it was time to collect on this debt and to take some interest!

"You're going to confiscate their possessions?" Yun Tianhe quickly ran over and said, "Too reckless! The Central State Four Great Families have balanced each other for over a hundred years, not only because it kept each other in check, but most importantly because it benefited the Imperial City. With three great families being exterminated, this will affect the Imperial City. If we don't report the three great families' wealth and take it for ourselves, the people in Imperial City will become jealous."

There was no way of guessing what reactions Imperial City would have.

Chu Tian did not care about this at all, "Let them be jealous, Miracle Commerce never cared about giving others face. In a small place like Central State, I am the biggest person!"

"That's right!"

"Confiscate their possessions!"

"We'll steal all of the three great families' things!"

Nangong Yun and Meng Yingying expressed their support, while Meng Qingwu said nothing. If this thinking was logical, then Yun Tianhe would not try to persuade him, but what profound background did the Four Great Families have? They were families that existed for over a hundred years without being swallowed. It was possible their discord was created by Imperial City because if a single family could control this area, then they might be able to influence the central power of the kingdom.

The kingdom needed an area that was powerful, but was still split between different powers.

Chu Tian had destroyed the three families, breaking the discord between them, letting Miracle Commerce become the only power in charge of Central State City, going against what the Imperial City wanted. If they obtained the wealth the three great families left behind and they controlled the resources of the three great families, would the kingdom agree to this?

This was simply asking for trouble!

However, Meng Qingwu agreed that this was very exciting because this was a shocking amount of wealth. Miracle Commerce worked hard to eliminate the three great families, did they have to give this up to someone else? So Meng Qingwu did not give an opinion and just chose to support Chu Tian.

Chu Tian did not change his mind, "Everyone come with me to confiscate their possessions!"

Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun's face turned red with excitement, immediately looking for beast carts to bring with them to the three great families. Meng Qingwu also went along with them.

This brat really did not listen to the advice of others!

Yun Tianhe had no other methods since it had been decided, so he went along with them!

Chu Tian first chose to go to the Luo Family, taking a large amount of one billion and two hundred million gold coins, as well as materials worth several hundred million gold coins. They also took twenty nine store and factory deeds, as well as eleven copper and iron mines outside the city.

This was truly shocking!

This was a buried treasure!

They really were worthy of being one of the biggest families in Central State City!

"This Jade Hoofed Deer Golden Carriage is worth several tens of millions. Not only is it very smooth, if there is danger, it has a defensive mechanism to it, so I'll give it to the young miss!" Chu Tian pulled out one of the best carriages to give to Meng Qingwu, "Only a cart like this is suited to the young miss' status!"

The Jade Hoofed Deer Golden Carriage was really too beautiful.

In front of the other woman's envious gazes, she received Chu Tian's gift with pleasure.

"This pair of Nine Lion and Tigers Bracers can be considered a top grade Soul Item, being able to attack and defend with quite a bit of power, but there's no one particularly skilled in fist techniques among us." Chu Tian gave it to Chen Bingyu, "Chen Bingyu will take them first. I'll give you some close combat martial arts tomorrow."

The Nine Lion and Tigers Bracers was one of the strongest weapons of the Luo Family, so Chen Bingyu also happily accepted them.

There were many treasures in the Luo Family. Chu Tian picked some out to give to people which made them all pleasantly surprised.

Next was the Ye Family!

The harvest from the Ye Family was just as shocking.

The Ye Family was a mercenary family. The mercenary industry was very scattered, so they didn't have much money, but they did have a lot of resources. They had obtained several large scale taming fields which money could not buy, helping make Miracle Commerce even fatter.

The locations left behind by the Luo Family, such as the stores in Central State City and their laboratories and testing grounds were all integrated into Miracle Commerce.

The resources of the Ye Family's mercenary group, such as their giant wolf breeding farms, their demon beast domestication fields, military goods factories, and etc. were all given to the Underworld Mercenary Group to manage.

As for how he would deal with the surrender of the Luo and Ye Families?

Chu Tian kept his promise to not kill them, but Central State City could not accommodate them, so an order was given to chase them away. As for the Chu Family…..

Chu Tian had also gone to confiscate their possessions.

He took the Chu Family's money and resources first.

The direct descendants of Chu Shi and Chu Shanhe were all chased out of Central State.

The other captives were brought to the Chu Family main hall where Chu Tian wanted to personally take care of them!

At this moment, several hundred Chu Family swordsmen were kneeling on the ground, all of them revealing a look of fear and worry. This person that no one cared about, that had been considered waste by the family several years ago, one that everyone looked down on and bullied.

What happened in just a few years?

This person had returned in triumph to the Chu Family. From the elders to the youths of the Chu Family, everyone's lives were in his hands.

Chu Tian sat in the Chu Family Head's throne and the five Giant Shark Gang leaders and Chen Bingyu were standing right behind him, looking down on the Chu Family with cold gazes. The True Soul Realm pressure made it hard for them to breathe, but the person they feared the most was the young man sitting in the throne.

"I won't waste words, I'll lay everything on the table today."

When they heard Chu Tian's voice, their hearts turned cold.

"Although I, Chu Tian have a deep grudge with you, I am still surnamed Chu in the end. Although the Chu Family has not been kind to me, I am not willing to let this hundred year old family disappear like the Luo and Ye Families, so I will give you two choices right now."

The Chu Family members looked at each other in blank dismay.

"First, you will receive an amount of money and go far away, leaving Central State city, perhaps even leaving the Southern Summer Country. I don't care where you go, I will not chase you down for revenge."

The Chu Family members let out a long sigh.

It was good that they weren't going to be completely eliminated, they could at least keep their lives.

The Chu Family was formed from many family fights, so everyone knew the cruelties of family competitions. If a family lost, they would be completely eliminated, not even a single baby would be released, not letting a single thing be missed.

If a single person was allowed to live, who knows if this person would use this opportunity to exact their revenge or not. Wouldn't this be creating trouble for the family? Although this was a small possibility, it was still a possibility, so a cruel leader would not allow it to happen.

Chu Tian was not that ruthless.

One on hand, the three great families had caused their own destruction. From the beginning fights to the end, it was all caused by the three great families. Causing one's own destruction or being invaded by a strong enemy had two different meanings. The first brought unwillingness, humiliation, and hatred. The second brought regrets and fear.

On the other hand, Chu Tian was confident enough to allow this to happen. They couldn't beat him now, so they couldn't beat him in the future. Central State was only a small stop for Chu Tian and he would leave this place before long to go to wider world, so those that have been defeated will never be able to catch up to him.

Chu Tian gave the Chu Family members enough time to think before continuing on, "The second choice is to stay here and continue working for the Chu Family. I will use the Chu Family to establish the Chu Sect, letting the Chu Family's power remain in Central State City!"

Everyone began to tremble.

Chu Tian wanted to manage the Chu Family?

No one had thought of this ending before.

But in terms of status, Chu Tian had come from the Chu Family and killed his way into being the Chu Family Head, then the nature of this fight would change. It would no longer be a foreign invasion, but rather an internal fight for the rights to lead the family.

Chu Tian had already defeated Chu Xinghe!

So that meant Chu Tian was even more outstanding than Chu Xinghe!

Chu Tian currently had the power in his hand and no family could fight against him in Central State. Although the Chu Family suffered heavy losses in the fight, only their elites had been injured and their roots had not been pulled out. With the Chu Family's hundred year old history, as long as they had time to rest, they would still have the chance to recover.

After all, the Chu Family had many retainers in Central State, so the Chu Family had talents like clouds.

Once the Chu Family fell, the retainers would all scatter. Right now, if someone continued to hold the Chu Family's flag and retained all this power, then they could guarantee the Chu Family's power remaining in Central State.

Chu Tian finished speaking, "Whether you go or stay, it is up to you!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The descendents of Chu Shi and Chu Shanhe had been sent into exile by Chu Tian. The remaining members of the Chu Family were all branch members. Moreover, Chu Tian seemed to like this Chu Family banner.

The Chu Family was different compared to the other families.

The most precious thing in the Chu Family were their retainers. Retainers were outsiders that submitted to them and could not cause trouble even if they remained. If they could work for Chu Tian, then that would be for the best.

The Chu Family members all made their decisions.

20% of the people chose to leave.

The rest of them chose to remain in the Chu Family, giving their loyalty to Chu Tian and working for him.

Chu Tian became the new head of the Chu Family, taking over all the businesses and influence the Chu Family had. The Chu Family had businesses in several cities, over three hundred retainers, and also over a thousand swordsmen.

The various Chu Family members were all called back and came together to form the new power, the "Chu Sect"!

Chu Tian did not have them do anything right now, only having them become a police force along with the Underworld Mercenaries. As for the businesses left behind by the Chu Family, Chu Tian sent people from Miracle Commerce out to integrate them into Miracle Commerce businesses.

In the end.

For the three great families, what should be taken was taken, what should be exiled was exiled, and what should be swallowed was swallowed.

Miracle Commerce had gained three billion and two hundred million gold coins from this and countless previous resources. As for the mines and resource fields left by the three great families, they would all be used by Miracle Commerce.

Chu Tian did not keep everything for himself.

First he took out five hundred million for the Giant Shark Gang!

He had pledged to invest one billion into the Giant Shark Gang after a year, but now it was changed to six months.

The fleets and docks the three great families had and the resources near the Four States Lake, were all given to the Giant Shark Gang to manage!

Chu Tian also had Meng Qingwu take out five hundred million gold coins. This large amount of money was used to clean up the aftermath. For example, the innocent of the families that cooperate with Miracle Commerce, they were all given a generous recompense. There was also recompense given to the citizens that had been affected by the riot.

There were two armour factories and one military goods factory taken from the Ye Family and given to the Xiong Family.

There was also a giant wealth and resources gift given to the Yun Family, being worth around five hundred million gold coins.

The Xiong and Yun Families had helped Chu Tian quite a bit. The Xiong Family happily took this large piece of meat. As for the Yun Family, they took the gift that Chu Tian gave them and reinvested it into the Yun Sect managed by both of them.

Why was there a need to please the Imperial City?

Chu Tian's idea was very simple. Instead of pleasing the greedy people in the Imperial City, why shouldn't he just divide it with everyone? Once Central State City had come together, who could still make a move against Miracle Commerce?

Everyone was happy on this point!

The chaos in Central State had finally been subdued!

Chapter 236: Full force expansion

Miracle Commerce had not passed through the storm just yet.

There was a reason why the Four Great Families could develop so smoothly over a hundred years, but now that had all collapsed, it went against the interests of certain people. Moreover, with several tens of thousands of people dead in Central State, it didn't matter it it was a normal city, but Central State City was a Main City, so this was a large matter for the Southern Summer Country!

Miracle Commerce had swallowed the three great families, giving themselves a monopoly over the power in the city.

The Southern Summer King and the Southern Summer Three Rulers, could they accommodate a large influence like Miracle Commerce?

Chu Tian did not care about this. No matter what happened in the Imperial City, the worst case scenario was just to run away. Now that they had all the resources from the three great families, including all their wealth and resources and had the Giant Shark Gang's water superiority, they would be able to quickly develop themselves wherever they went!

One couldn't depend on others!

The only way to become strong was to have others fear and respect you!

Chu Tian had to eliminate all the bad influences in Central State and throw more technology into the Yun Sect, letting Miracle Commerce develop their strength and influence another step.

Naturally, a person's individual strength was also important, so after Chu Tian raided the nests of the three great families, he instantly prepared materials to refine Saint Grade Pills.

In the future.

Chu Tian would jump to the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

The young miss, Meng Yingying, Lin Mu, Fang Han, and the others were all in the Awakened Soul Realm.

After the clash in Central State City, it impacted the city less than people thought it would. Miracle Commerce had made several appeasement policies that not only restored the liveliness of the city, it made the city even more relaxing.

The pressure from the Four Great Families no longer existed and the people that suppressed others had been defeated. It was now replaced by a power that was inclusive and full of vitality!

Miracle Commerce did not step on the interests of the other families, instead they worked with those families to create win-win situations.

For the citizens of Central State City, under the monopoly of Miracle Commerce, their incomes and standards of living all increased. The potential of Miracle Commerce to stimulate the economy was much higher than the Four Great Families, so the Central State citizens did not fight repel Miracle Commerce at all.

There was no enemy.

This made it much more relaxed for Chu Tian.

Meng Qingwu came in with the latest progress report, "Miracle Commerce now owns dozens of resources fields, factories, research and testing facilities, and dojos. The powers of Central State have all expressed their wishes to cooperate with us. Miracle Commerce has gone from a company without enough supply lines to one with excess supply lines in just a few days."

From light bulbs, to batteries, to canned food, to even radios and phonographs.

The supply issue that Miracle Commerce faced was no longer an issue, so they had no choice but to open the market as soon as possible.

Now that the three great families have collapsed.

Miracle Commerce had many resources and high production, as well as all the families that wanted to cooperate with Miracle Commerce. Not to mention the Central State area, even if they wanted to spread across the Southern Summer Country, it was enough to supply this goal! Central State was quickly becoming Miracle Commerce's biggest supply line!

"Miracle Commerce doesn't have enough customers locally, so we will spread across the entire Southern Summer Country, then to other countries, before finally reaching even the other races." Chu Tian said in a confident voice, "So it's not too much, but rather it's still not enough. On one hand, make the factories work faster and have them work earlier. On the other hand, continue buying new factories and making cooperation deals with other factories."

Meng Qingwu never thought that Miracle Commerce would develop so quickly.

Going from a small unknown influence in South Sky City, to becoming a large player in Central State City, and finally having Central State City completely under Chu Tian's control.

Chu Tian suddenly stood up, "Come, we'll go have a look at the research center."

There were already over five hundred researchers in the Yun Sect's research labs. They were divided into departments of study such as source energy talismans, alchemy, cultivation, energy sources, source energy mechanics, and etc.

The source energy technology department was the most important one.

The Yun Sect had over five hundred researchers and close to four hundred of them were in the source energy research department which was currently being led by Yun Tianhe.

The talisman and alchemy departments were responsible for coming up with new talismans and medicines and were being headed by Xiong Tianyan and Zhang Liqing respectively. Chu Tian had taken out many recipes for them to study. Although talismans and medicines were common businesses, they still made a lot of money.

The cultivation department was responsible for taking in retainers and ancient cultivation techniques, translating and finding useful parts from the techniques. This department was currently being led by Chen Bingyu because she was a martial arts maniac and was very interested in this cultivation department.

The energy sources department was very important. Chu Tian was currently occupying most of the crystal oil mines in Central State, even sending people secretly to occupy the crystal oil mines of the Southern Summer Country. This crystal oil was the foundational resource for their technology and most people did not know how important it was, so before they noticed, Chu Tian wanted to control as much as possible. The energy sources department mainly researched the Source Energy Battery, finding out the best methods to use the battery in different scenarios.

The energy source was a secret.

So Chu Tian could only send his most trusted member to control it.

This department was clearly personally headed by the young miss.

The source energy mechanical department was quite special. This department did not have a big role now and was even considered quite useless, but they had a strong value later on. The technological core of Miracle Commerce was its source energy technology, but they were slowly getting more complicated and needed a good mechanical team to put it all together!

The mechanical technique genius of Central State, Tong Xiaoyu was in charge of this department. They were mainly in charge of designing the machines and ensuring they can display their functions.

A research institute with five hundred people was already considered quite big in the Southern Summer Country!

Chu Tian was not afraid that there would be too many researchers. Miracle Commerce was rich and could afford to raise them all, he was just afraid of not having enough people.

Chu Tian came in and asked, "Old Yun, have you made any successes recently?"

"Of course!" Yun Tianhe saw Chu Tian and said with a look of excitement, "Come with me!"

In a secret room, there was a small magnetic sound tower in the center with two dark instruments hung up on both sides. Yun Tianhe pointed at it with a proud look and said, "This is the communication device that we made!"

Meng Qingwu said in a surprised voice, "You already succeeded in the few days that I wasn't here?"

Yun Tianhe gave a laugh, "Actually, there was no problem with the technology, after all, the Chairman had already prepared the core technology. After we did a thousand tests and over two hundred adjustments, we have now chosen a frequency to use for the communication device and have stabilized it after an initial test."

Chu Tian said to Meng Qingwu, "Let's try it!"

Meng Qingwu was very interested and immediately arrived in front of one of the receivers. The communication device was a box with a source energy cloth covering it. There was a circle in the center of the device with an arrow attached and numbers were placed around the circle.

"What are these numbers for?"

"How can different devices communicate with one another? After careful discussion, we came up with this design." Yun Tianhe pointed at the numbers and said, "Different devices have different numbers and you can input the serial number here. This will send a signal to the magnetic sound tower, which will then create a communication channel while being within the tower's magnetic field."

This was a little complicated.

Meng Qingwu had learned quite a bit following Chu Tian, but regarding this new technology, she could not easily adapt to it.

Yun Tianhe pointed at a number written on the device, "This one's serial number is 001 and the one the Chairman has is 000. You just need to use the dial plate to input the number of the other person's communication device and you'll be connected."

This was truly mysterious!

Meng Qingwu used her hand to move the needle, stopping at the zero three times. The source energy array lit up and an energy was released. Almost at the same time, Chu Tian's communication device also lit up.

Meng Qingwu spoke into the communication device, "Can you hear me?"

"Can you hear me?"

The noise came from Chu Tian's communication device.

It had passed through the magnetic sound tower twice, so it was a little distorted, but it had been transmitted. Not only could the magnetic sound tower be used to send radio signals, now it could even be used as a relay medium!

"You really did it!"

"This invention is great!"

Meng Qingwu found this unbelievable. If they promoted it, how big of a change would it be to people's lives?

Chu Tian was not satisfied with the communication device, "It's not complete yet, there are many places that need to be improved. The sound needs to be clear and stable, which should be fixed with improving the source energy array on the magnetic sound tower. The communication device does not have a function of rejecting the call, which would cause a person using it trouble. We need to figure out a way to allow people to accept the calls….."

Chu Tian gave a bunch of opinions that was very critical.

Yun Tianhe nodded, "Give me around half a month and I'll be able to make a perfect communication device!"

The core mechanics of the magnetic sound tower had been completed by Chu Tian.

As for the other details, Chu Tian did not need to care about it. It was too troublesome on one hand and on the other hand, Chu Tian needed to train his research team.

"Other than the breakthrough with the communication device, we also succeeded in combining the radio and phonograph, creating a device that has the functions of both devices. We also finished the frequency changing technology." Yun Tianhe never thought that they would obtain this many breakthroughs with the new technology so fast, "Miracle Commerce Broadcasting will be able to begin soon!"

Meng Qingwu was feeling very excited. With this technology, how could Miracle Commerce not rise up, "There are many mayors and even messengers from other counties coming to Central State City to negotiate with us. They are hoping that we can construct magnetic sound towers in their areas and broadcast locally to them."

Chu Tian did not give an opinion and just asked, "What's your view on this?"

"Miracle Commerce was planning to release this service sooner or later, but with the current situation, it wouldn't be easy." Meng Qingwu frowned and said, "We need to set up a team for the broadcasting station and not only is this time consuming and labour intensive, we will need a big team. It will be hard to prevent technology being leaked like this, so I won't agree with it for now."

"Your thoughts are correct." Chu Tian paused for a second, "I have a method that prevents having a large team and only requiring a Central State broadcasting team. We'll just establish a single broadcast team who will broadcast to the entire kingdom!"

Ah?

How was this possible!

Yun Tianhe and Meng Qingwu were both staring at him!

The magnetic sound tower was very perfect, but the only flaw was that it could only broadcast within the range of its magnetic field. A large city needed several magnetic sound tower just to completely cover it.

This era was sparsely populated.

There were usually thousand miles between two cities!

If they wanted to cover the entire country with a magnetic field, they would need to construct over a million magnetic sound towers. With Miracle Commerce's current manpower, this was something that was impossible to do!

Moreover, there were demon beasts in the wild.

If even a single magnetic sound tower was destroyed, the signal would not be relayed!

Chu Tian said to the two people full of doubts, "Of course we aren't using the method you're thinking of. We just need to find a new material called Ultra Wave Crystal. We can start building magnetic sound towers in other cities and as long as we can find this kind of crystal, we'll be able to cover the entire continent…..As for our communication device, we will be able to connect the counties!"

Communication with other counties!

It really was a perfect long distance communication method!

How much prestige and wealth would this bring to Miracle Commerce?!

"Use all of Miracle Commerce's channels to find this crystal as quickly as possible. Tell me as soon as you find it." Chu Tian said this and then added in, "The Yun Sect's development is even faster than I expected. The Source Energy Computer will not be that easy to complete, so let's work on another project."

Another new project?

The Yun Sect couldn't even get a single second of rest!

But Yun Tianhe liked this, "What project do you want to make this time?"

"Of course it's a project to make money with." Chu Tian gave a mysterious smile and then asked the two of them a question, "What kind of commodity makes the most money in this world?"

"This….." If it was before, Meng Qingwu would have answered talisman and medicine without any hesitation because these things were consumables and made quite a bit of money, but after Miracle Commerce was established, the electric lights, the canned food, and the other products had already changed her worldviews. Just the communication device was already hard enough for her to imagine, "I don't know."

Yun Tianhe also said, "Don't keep us guessing. How could we guess your thoughts?"

"There are two types. The first is energy and the second are weapons."

Energy? Weapons?

Chu Tian explained, "You will understand in the future. The current main energy is crystal oil and before the powers of the continent can react to this, we have to take the initiative to occupy this. Following this, we will begin to make weapons!"

"Your meaning is to have Miracle Commerce recruit weapon refiners and have them make weapons and equipment in large amounts?"

"We do need weapon refiners, but the weapon I'm going to make is quite different compared to normal weapons." Chu Tian said to Meng Qingwu, "Create a military tools department in the Yun Sect. Then invest another one hundred million gold coins into the weapons and energy department. They will be an important part of our future."

Chu Tian wasn't strong enough currently, but the opportunity was right!

Miracle Commerce currently had the basis to construct some new weapons!

The rules of this world was that strength was revered, so a true giant needed to have strength at its foundation. These new source energy weapons would allow Chu Tian's ambitions to progress a step forward.

Chapter 237: Giving help to the Heaven's Alliance

After Chu Tian made the decision to produce weapons, he spent most of his time in the research facility. This was because the source energy weapons were secrets among secrets and even Yun Tianhe and Meng Qingwu had not seen it yet.

Ten days had passed after the chaos of Central State.

The Imperial City had not received the news yet.

However, the slower the response, the better, giving Miracle Commerce more time to digest the resources from the three great families. Meng Qingwu had already begun to integrate their businesses. As for the businesses that were far off or inconvenient to manage, they were given to business partners to manage.

In short, the hundred year old bases of the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families were used up in less than half a month.

The Chu Family was considered better off compared to the other three families.

Although the businesses of the Chu Family had been swallowed by Miracle Commerce, the Chu Family did not disappear and officially changed its name to the Chu Sect. The Yun Sect was the research and scholar center for Miracle Commerce, whereas the Chu Sect was the martial and retainer center. One for knowledge, one for martial arts, working in harmony.

After the three great families had been defeated, Miracle Commerce had given out many care packages that greatly benefited the citizens.

Under Chu Tian's guidance, Meng Qingwu took out a portion of the resources taken from the three great families and used it for the citizens, giving them benefits or using it to invest into the public fund, providing free construction for the citizens of Central State City.

These were all matters that were impossible for the previous families.

...

To the south of Central State City, there was a small courtyard that was the "Heaven's Alliance's" headquarters. The siblings Lin Xuan and Lin Fan and over a hundred Heaven's Alliance members lived around this area.

Today was the day for the Heaven's Alliance to discuss official business.

"Everyone, everyone!" Lin Fan stood up in the crude hall, stepping up on a broken stool while lifting up a second hand newspaper. His voice was full of excitement as he said, "Miracle Commerce gave a hundred thousand cans of food to the poor a few days ago, they constructed houses in the slum yesterday, and today they announced that they would be giving free medicine to the citizens, helping the citizens stay healthy!"

"It's not only that!" Lin Xuan stood beside Lin Fang and very excitedly added, "It's said that Miracle Commerce will be contributing goods worth two hundred million gold coins in preparation to set up a charity fund for poor cultivators of Central State City, developing talented young cultivators without any conditions. This is really a blessing for us!"

"Long live!"

"Long live our idol!"

"Long live Miracle Commerce!"

The youths' blood boiled, feeling proud and excited.

In this era where hierarchy was valued, Miracle Commerce were true pioneers. There had never been any families or powers that had made a charity fund to help the juniors of poor families.

However, Chu Tian had done this.

Miracle Commerce had done this!

An entire two hundred million gold coins worth of resources and money! What kind of gigantic figure was this!

Right now the "Heaven's Alliance" had reached over five hundred people with an average age of below twenty. There were poor family's juniors and rich family's young masters, fans of Chu Tian at every social level. Of course, most of them were all young people. With the strength and abilities of the Lin siblings, being the lowest grade cultivators in Central State City, they could not recruit any high level people.

However, this group was very young and radical, with a lot of potential. That attracted the attention of many rich businessmen, all wanting to use large amounts of money to support or buy their organization. So, they used a price that many people found hard to resist.

In front of this kind of temptation.

The siblings reject all these offers!

Although they were poor, they still had their pride!

The Heaven's Alliance was established as an organization of people with similar interests.

Some people like weapons, so they created a weapons enthusiast association. Some people like medicine, so they created a medicine enthusiasts association. The Heaven's Alliance was no different from those associations!

This was a place of hot blooded young people filled with dreams. They all took Chu Tian as an idol, so they inspired each other, learned with each other, and progressed together. It was all to see Chu Tian's progress and the rise of the Miracle Era, nothing more than that!

If this sacred belief were commercialized, everything would be over.

So the Heaven's Alliance did not allow money to tarnish them!

The others were all touched and confirmed their statuses as leaders, supporting their every move.

Before Central State fell into chaos.

The Heaven's Alliance frequently spread the stories of Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce in the poor area, letting more people know about the rise of Miracle Commerce.

After the chaos of Central State.

The Lin siblings and several hundred members of the Heaven's Alliance worked hard to placate the masses for Miracle Commerce and fixed the streets, helping Miracle Commerce establish a positive image.

"Miracle Commerce has made many contributions to Central State City, we have to let more people know about this!"

"That's right. The mission today is everyone will split into ten groups and go into the slums, bringing this news to people that cannot afford to buy newspapers, letting everyone know that there is a chance for them to change their destiny!"

The majority of the Heaven's Alliance were poor people, so they could understand poor people.

In Central State City and most of the other cities, the lower class members would not care about the news. These people weren't even willing to let go of a single copper coin, so how could they be willing to buy a newspaper? These people lived in groups and lived very isolated lives.

That is why they had to actively advertise!

Miracle Commerce was very strong, but it didn't have enough people. The Heaven's Alliance wanted to do as much as possible for Miracle Commerce that was within their capabilities. They wanted everyone to benefit from the charity of Miracle Commerce.

When the Lin siblings divided the tasks and everyone was prepared to move.

"Big brother, big sister!"

"There are quite a few luxurious carriages outside!"

A simply dressed youth with a face full of freckles charged in.

Lin Xuan and Lin Fan looked at each other. It was probably another merchant that hadn't lost hope which disgusted them. They had already said many times that the Heaven's Alliance was the Heaven's Alliance and wasn't for sale.

But these rich and powerful people could not be offended. So even if they felt impatient, they still had to suppress their anger and go greet them.

There were four-five beast carriages parked there. From the white rhinoceros carriage in front, a young girl walked out who was even younger than the Lin siblings.

Wa!

Such a beautiful girl!

Everyone's eyes almost popped out.

That girl's hair was tied back in a ponytail and those green clothes perfectly outlined those two round peaks. That short skirt outlined her slim waist and revealed a pair of white jade legs. Her figure was very slim and straight, making her look young and energetic.

There were two young men following behind her, wearing the uniform of the Underworld Mercenaries.

Although most people had not seen this girl before, they knew the Underworld Mercenaries. Wasn't this Miracle Commerce's mercenary group? They were from Miracle Commerce!

Lin Xuan and Lin Fan's mouths went wide open, "You…..You're miss Meng Yingying!"

"Yep, that's me!" Meng Yingying stuck out her chest and revealed a gentle, charming smile, "It was elder sister that wanted me to come see you guys."

"Chairman Meng Qingwu!" Lin Xuan excitedly jumped up, "Chairman Meng Qingwu knows about us?!"

"That's right. Elder sister was already paying attention to you in South Sky City. Miracle Commerce already knows about everything you've done in the past few months. Elder sister has praised you multiple times!"

The aloof goddess Chairman Meng Qingwu was actually paying attention to their small organization and was even praising them?!

Was this true?

The giant organization that was Miracle Commerce would actually care about a tiny organization like them!

Meng Yingying could see that the Heaven's Alliance members were trying to stop their faces from turning red. She revealed a faint smile, "Elder sister wanted to personally come, but she's been too busy lately and had to handle many things, so she couldn't come. She had me come instead, so I hope you won't mind!"

The Lin siblings excitedly said, "It is already an honour for the chairman to know about us!"

"Don't say that, you guys are quite outstanding. My elder sister has a good impression of you, so you have to keep working hard." Meng Yingying said up to here and then said, "Big brother Mu, big brother Han, why haven't you brought the gifts yet."

Lin Mu and Fang Han came forward.

The Heaven's Alliance members were filled with excitement!

Although they knew these were members of the Underworld Mercenaries, they never thought that they would be leaders. These two were Illustrious Soul Realm experts that their idol Chu Tian had personally trained!

Meng Yingying opened the box, "There are pills and discs in here, and there is a large phonograph and a large radio outside, as well as ten portable Magnetic Recording Machines. The radio and Magnetic Recording Machines are connected to the Qilin Hall channel with a three year subscription. We hope that it will be helpful to your cultivation!"

The radio, the phonograph, and the newest Magnetic Recording Machine were all precious items from Miracle Commerce!

"The gift has been given, so I'll be leaving first. I hope that you guys will keep working hard."

After Meng Yingying had the mercenaries place the boxes down, she no longer had a reason to stay, so she left in the beast carriage.

Lin Fan and Lin Xuan had not recovered yet, but the other youths impatiently opened the boxes, revealing bottles of precious pills. They were all high quality pills that could assist one's cultivation. There were a few dozen Qi Refining Pills alone and there were over twenty Qilin Hall discs, explaining a whole series of skills. This was very useful to these people.

"These are the Magnetic Recording Machines?"

"It has to be! The newest invention from Miracle Commerce!"

There were ten silver white items inside the box, being the size of a plate and having a black magnetic sound stone antenna on it. There were several buttons on it that allowed on to change stations or to play discs.

How could the Heaven's Alliance members not know Miracle Commerce's new product?

The Magnetic Recording Device was the newest media platform from Miracle Commerce that combined the radio and phonograph. It was smaller and lighter. Although the sound quality and the signal receiving capabilities were worse than the radio and phonograph alone, it was very convenient, with anyone being able to carry it around with them.

Miracle Commerce was planning to sell two hundred thousand units in the next ten days.

The Magnetic Recording Machines were very cheap, being worth around five hundred gold coins for one and one-two thousand gold coins for a higher quality model. Most of the middle class in Central State City could afford to buy one!

The reason Miracle Commerce sold these new products so cheaply was mainly because Miracle Commerce wasn't trying to earn money from the sales itself, but rather from the pay to listen channels on these new Magnetic Recording Machines.

Each frequency had its own processing method and normal Magnetic Recording Machines and radios couldn't receive these pay to listen channels. Only after spending a bit of money to decode this frequency could one listen to this channel on their radios or Magnetic Recording Machines.

The Qilin Hall channel was the most expensive one!

It only broadcast basic skills to practice, but it cost ten thousand gold coins to listen to.

These youths needed a good teacher. The things that Meng Yingying was ordered to give them were things that they needed the most right now. The members of the Heaven's Alliance never thought that a small organization like theirs could ever attract the attention of a large player like Miracle Commerce. It was enough to bring honour to each and every one of them.
