The sun dipped below the peaks of Cloud-Piercing Mountain, casting long shadows over the Heavenly Sword Sect. But within the Outer Sect, a storm was brewing. Jiang Chen stood amidst the ruins of battle, his aura still crackling with power. Three bodies lay broken before him, their faces pale with fear and defeat.
Word had already spread. The weakest disciple had crushed three of the top Outer Sect rankers with ease. Disciples watched from a distance, their eyes wide with disbelief, their hearts trembling with fear. The boy they once ridiculed was gone. In his place stood a tyrant—a monster whose power defied logic.
Jiang Chen turned, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He saw fear, shock, awe… and anger. Good. Let them fear him. Let them hate him. It would only make his rise all the more satisfying.
He walked forward, his steps steady, his aura oppressive. Disciples scrambled to get out of his way, their bodies trembling under his gaze. He could feel it—the power, the respect, the fear. It was intoxicating.

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smirk. The Outer Sect Leader? It was only natural. To rule, he would need to crush the strongest beneath his feet. And Zhang Wei… was just another stepping stone.
"Jiang Chen!" A voice echoed through the courtyard, cold and filled with anger. The crowd parted, revealing a tall, muscular man with sharp eyes and an aura of authority. Zhang Wei.
He walked forward, his presence domineering, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen.
"You dare challenge my rule?" Zhang Wei's voice was sharp, his eyes burning with fury. "You think just because you defeated a few weaklings, you can stand before me?"
Jiang Chen's smirk deepened, his eyes cold and arrogant.
"Stand before you?" He scoffed. "I'm here to crush you. To take your throne and make you kneel before me."
The crowd gasped, their eyes wide with disbelief. No one had ever dared to speak to Zhang Wei like that. No one.
Zhang Wei's aura flared, his killing intent surging. "You're courting death." He moved, his body blurring as he attacked, his fist enveloped in golden Qi, roaring with power.
Jiang Chen didn't move. He stood still, his eyes cold, his aura unwavering. As Zhang Wei's fist closed in, Jiang Chen's voice echoed, calm and mocking.
"Heaven's Suppression."
A wave of overwhelming pressure erupted from his body, crashing into Zhang Wei like a tidal wave. Zhang Wei's eyes widened, his movements faltering as his body was slammed into the ground, the earth cracking beneath the force.
The crowd gasped, shock and disbelief rippling through them. Zhang Wei—undefeated, unmatched—was crushed with a single technique.
Jiang Chen walked forward, his presence suffocating, his aura dominating.
"You thought you were strong?" He looked down at Zhang Wei, his gaze cold. "You're nothing but a frog in a well."
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, his body trembling under the pressure. But his pride wouldn't let him yield. He roared, his aura erupting as he forced himself to stand, his eyes blazing with defiance.
"I won't lose… not to you…!"
Jiang Chen's gaze turned icy, his aura growing even more terrifying.
"Then I'll break you." He moved, his body vanishing in a flash, reappearing behind Zhang Wei. His palm struck Zhang Wei's back, a burst of spiritual energy tearing through his body.
Zhang Wei coughed blood, his body staggering, but he refused to fall. He turned, his fist glowing with golden light, striking at Jiang Chen with all his strength.
Jiang Chen met the blow head-on, his own fist shrouded in dark Qi. The two attacks collided, a shockwave ripping through the air, shaking the ground. But Zhang Wei's face twisted with horror as his fist shattered, the bones in his arm breaking under the impact.
He screamed, his body flying back, crashing into the stone wall. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he collapsed, his body broken, his spirit shattered.
Jiang Chen walked forward, his eyes cold and merciless.
"Is this the power of the Outer Sect Leader?" He stepped on Zhang Wei's chest, his aura pressing down, suffocating. "Pathetic."
Zhang Wei looked up, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He had ruled the Outer Sect for years, undefeated, unmatched. Yet before Jiang Chen, he was powerless, helpless… insignificant.
"Do you understand now?" Jiang Chen's voice was cold, his eyes burning with arrogance. "In this world, power is everything. And I… have the power to make you kneel."
Zhang Wei's pride shattered, his spirit crumbling under Jiang Chen's gaze. His body trembled, his will breaking.
"I… I yield…" His voice was weak, his face pale with humiliation. "I yield… Sect Leader Jiang…"
The crowd was silent, their faces pale with shock. Jiang Chen had done the impossible. He had defeated Zhang Wei. No… he had crushed him.
Jiang Chen turned, his gaze sweeping over the disciples, his aura radiating dominance.
"From this day forth, I rule the Outer Sect. Any who oppose me… will end up like him."
No one dared speak. No one dared move. They could feel it—the absolute power, the overwhelming arrogance. Jiang Chen wasn't just strong. He was a tyrant. A monster. A ruler.

Power surged through him, his aura growing even more terrifying. Jiang Chen closed his eyes, a smile of satisfaction playing on his lips. This was the feeling he craved—the feeling of absolute power, absolute dominance.
He opened his eyes, his gaze cold, his aura suffocating.
"This is just the beginning. I will rise. I will conquer. And all who stand in my way… will be crushed beneath my feet."
The Outer Sect trembled, its disciples bowing in fear and submission. Jiang Chen had ascended, his rule absolute, his power unmatched. He was no longer the weakest disciple. He was a tyrant. A king. A demon who would rise to the peak with arrogance and power.
And the world… would bow before him.
