"With utmost respect?"

"At your command?"

A smirk spread across Qin Feiyang's face as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Seeing this, the blue-haired young man frowned slightly and said lightly, "It seems you're quite dissatisfied?"

"Oh, I'm convinced. Very convinced," Qin Feiyang's lips curled upwards in a sneer, his gaze sweeping across everyone present with contempt. "But I'd like to ask, do you even know who I am?"

"Haha... Aren't you Qin Feiyang?"

"We've heard all about you."

"Even Dong Qing fell at your hands; I must admit, you truly are remarkable."

"But in the Inner Hall, Dong Qing is merely an ordinary figure..."

The blue-haired youth crossed his arms, speaking animatedly, but Qin Feiyang interrupted him impatiently, "Just say what you want to say."

A cold light instantly flickered in the blue-haired youth's eyes. "Don't you know it's impolite to interrupt someone when they're speaking?"

"Polite?" Qin Feiyang found it rather amusing. Who was it that splashed foot-washing water on them? And who was it that had been blustering and spouting nonsense? And now they dared to accuse him of being impolite? People shouldn't be so shameless!

Qin Feiyang scanned the crowd and said indifferently, "Aren't you trying to say that I'm not qualified to act presumptuously in the Inner Hall?"

"At least you know your place," the crowd sneered.

"Yes, I know my place," said Qin Feiyang. "But what about you? Do you know yours? And do you know what my code of survival is?"

Qin Feiyang's gaze gradually turned icy.

"What?"

"Are you planning to fight?"

"Let me tell you, one must understand the times."

"Only those who understand the times can live longer."

Everyone's eyes were filled with mockery.

"Threatening me?" Qin Feiyang sneered coldly, leaping into the air and hovering on the Second Layer.

CLANG!!!

His red Sword Qi erupted like a volcano from his center, rolling in all directions.

"How audacious!"

"You dare to attack!"

There were eight disciples on the Second Layer, all of them one-star War Emperors! All eight were instantly enraged.

Streams of Battle Intent surged forth, Battle Arts manifesting and rushing towards Qin Feiyang with astonishing momentum!

To Qin Feiyang's surprise, they were all superior Battle Arts!

But all these efforts were in vain!

The red Sword Qi swept across the sky, ruthlessly crushing everything in its path.

AH!!!

In an instant, accompanied by agonizing screams, all eight fell. Their shoulders and thighs were pierced with bloody holes, blood gushing out like fountains!

Qin Feiyang had excellent control. He only severely injured them, without endangering their lives. But his first move had shocked everyone.

They had all heard of Qin Feiyang's deeds. But seeing is believing; what is heard might be false. Rumors were generally unreliable. It was only now that they truly understood just how terrifying Qin Feiyang's strength was!

WHOOSH!!!

Qin Feiyang flew up to the Third Layer.

There were ten disciples on the Third Layer, their cultivation also at the one-star War Emperor level. And just like the eight on the Second Layer, they all mastered superior Battle Arts!

But Qin Feiyang's momentum was like a rainbow, unstoppable; no one could contend with him!

Wails of agony resounded through the atrium, lingering for a long time!

The Fourth Layer also had ten disciples, all of whom were Two-star War Emperors.

With a point of his finger, an invisible force wildly surged out! The first form of the Return-to-the-Ruin Art: Mountain Collapse!

The ten of them instantly felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down upon them. They collapsed to the ground, blood gushing out, forming rivulets!

Seeing this, the ten disciples on the Fifth Layer had cold glints in their eyes. Before Qin Feiyang could fly up, they launched a preemptive strike!

However, these actions couldn't stop the already enraged Qin Feiyang. He advanced like splitting bamboo, fighting his way straight up to the Eighth Layer!

The ten disciples on the Eighth Layer were several times stronger; all were Four-star War Emperors, matching Qin Feiyang's cultivation level.

BOOM!!!

Battle Intent surged. Ten Battle Arts manifested in the air, their terrifying momentum wreaking havoc in all directions! And they were all superior Battle Arts!

"What's going on?" Qin Feiyang frowned. "Could it be that everyone in the Inner Hall has cultivated superior Battle Arts?"

Ten sword shadows manifested above his head. With a thought, the sword shadows roared through the sky, devastatingly crushing everything in their path.

The ten were instantly sent flying.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Like meteors, they crashed into the wall behind them, all coughing up blood, their hearts filled with terror!

The sword shadows paused in mid-air, their astonishing sharpness intimidating all around!

Qin Feiyang glanced at them, then looked up at the ten people on the Ninth Layer. Those ten were also Four-star War Emperors! But as soon as Qin Feiyang looked at them, they couldn't help but take a few steps back in terror.

Qin Feiyang's eyes showed disdain as he looked up again at the blue-haired youth and his seven companions. "Tell me, what is the basis for your arrogance?"

With a wave of his hand, the ten sword shadows suspended in mid-air suddenly soared. The Sword Qi, like furious waves, slashed towards the eight of them! Three of the sword shadows locked onto the blue-haired youth. Because this person was the most arrogant, Qin Feiyang naturally decided to give him special attention.

However, facing the onslaught of the sword shadows, the eight of them didn't panic like the others; their expressions were extremely composed, as if they didn't take it seriously at all!

A red-haired young man stepped out from the group. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with an imposing figure. His cold, handsome face rarely showed a smile, and his aura was unfathomable!

"I'd like to see just how strong you really are!" The red-haired youth's eyes flashed like lightning as he suddenly raised both hands. A stream of Battle Intent surged out, morphing into a giant mountain. Emitting a weighty momentum, it crashed towards the ten sword shadows.

BOOM!

CLANK!

Accompanied by a series of loud crashes, the sword shadows crumbled one after another.

Qin Feiyang's eyes narrowed. This person was actually a Seven-star War Emperor and had even mastered superior Battle Arts!

PUFF!

In the blink of an eye, the ten sword shadows were pulverized. A mouthful of blood spurted from Qin Feiyang, his face turning deathly pale.

BOOM!

The giant peak, with its roiling momentum, bore down on Qin Feiyang!

Murong Jing's delicate brows knitted slightly as she said, "Qin Feiyang, in the Elixir Fire Palace, the competition is naturally alchemy. There's no need to fight them."

However, Qin Feiyang turned a deaf ear. His anger had been completely ignited. For it to end just like this? Impossible!

SWOOSH!

An astonishing wave of fire burst from his body. The Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus emerged! The temperature in the Elixir Fire Palace instantly skyrocketed, as if it had transformed into a massive furnace!

"A Seven-star War Emperor, is that supposed to be impressive?" he murmured to himself, a grim smile playing on his lips.

A Fire Lotus petal detached, streaked across the sky, and shot like lightning towards the red-haired youth! "Innate Divine Ability: Overwhelming Destruction—Explode!" As Qin Feiyang's words fell, the Fire Lotus petal violently exploded.

A terrifying shockwave of fire, like a colossal wave in the ocean, instantly roared through the area. The eight of them, the red-haired youth among them, were instantly engulfed! In that split second, their skin split and flesh tore, blood splattering everywhere!

"Back then, he used this very move to cripple Dong Qing, who had broken through to a Six Star War Emperor!"

"Facing eight top prodigies, not only is he unafraid, but he's determined to fight to the end!"

"This guy is just as crazy as the rumors say!"

"I also heard that when he fought Dong Qing, he was a Three Star War Emperor. It hasn't been long, yet he's already broken through to a Four-star War Emperor!"

"His cultivation speed is truly terrifying."

"I'm afraid the power dynamics of the Inner Hall will change soon."

The dozens of disciples on the lower layers couldn't help but discuss this.

"Qin Feiyang, congratulations, you've thoroughly enraged us!" the blue-haired youth roared.

The momentum of all eight erupted simultaneously! Three Five Star War Emperors, three Six Star War Emperors, and two Seven-star War Emperors! The blue-haired youth was indeed one of the Seven-star War Emperors! Such a lineup was incredibly formidable!

But Qin Feiyang remained fearless. "So what if I've angered you?" A fierce, cold light shot from his eyes as two Fire Lotus petals whizzed out and exploded simultaneously.

BOOM!!

The three Five Star War Emperors instantly collapsed to the ground, their condition unknown. The three Six Star War Emperors fared little better.

"Such a powerful Battle Soul!" Both the red-haired and blue-haired youths were battered and bruised. Their pupils contracted. Although Qin Feiyang was only a Four-star War Emperor, his methods were too shocking!

The two looked at each other, their Battle Intent surging wildly. Two colossal figures soared into the sky from behind them!

Qin Feiyang muttered, "Battle Souls, is it? I won't give you the chance!" Four Fire Lotus petals detached, shooting towards the two of them in the blink of an eye!

"Four petals!"

"No, no, no, don't let them explode..." The two of them instantly paled in terror. The three Six Star War Emperors were scared witless, their souls nearly fleeing their bodies!

BOOM!!!

At Qin Feiyang's thought, the four Fire Lotus petals exploded simultaneously. Five agonizing screams instantly ripped through the air. All five were sent flying!

The three Six Star War Emperors immediately closed their eyes, their status unknown. The blue-haired and red-haired youths lay on the ground, barely breathing, drenched in their own blood!

"A complete defeat!" The disciples below stared with wide, incredulous eyes. "Unbelievable! Even a Seven-star War Emperor was powerless to resist and was utterly crushed. This man is absurdly strong!"

No! It wasn't that Qin Feiyang was strong; it was his Battle Soul that was strong! The Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus! Nine Fire Lotus petals were equivalent to nine super-destructive finishing moves. How could such a Battle Soul exist in this world?

Qin Feiyang stood proudly in the air, looking down upon everyone. The Fire Lotus above his head blazed with towering waves of fire! At this moment, he was like a Fire God incarnate, his domineering aura piercing the clouds, striking awe into the hearts of everyone present!

"Is this the basis for your arrogance?" he said coldly. "Now, all of you, get down there and drink every last drop of that foot-washing water on the floor!"

"What?" The faces of the others changed drastically. They wouldn't commit such a humiliating act even if it meant death!

Instantly, everyone fled in terror, rushing into the alchemy rooms.

SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!

The stone doors closed.

In the blink of an eye, the vast Elixir Fire Palace fell into a deathly silence, leaving only Qin Feiyang, Murong Jing, and the blue-haired youth's group of eight!

"Thinking you're safe just by hiding in the alchemy rooms?" Qin Feiyang scoffed. "Naive!"

SWISH!

With a single step, he appeared before the blue-haired and red-haired youths.

Without a word, he grabbed the two of them and threw them down as if tossing garbage!

BANG!!

Accompanied by two loud thuds, the pair crashed onto the atrium floor below. They coughed up mouthfuls of blood, their bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart.

Then, Qin Feiyang also threw down the three Six Star and three Five Star War Emperors.

The immense impact jolted the six of them awake. Immediately after, they were overwhelmed by excruciating pain and screamed incessantly. They had no idea how many bones in their bodies had been shattered!
