Wang Yi’s right hand trembled, and his face betrayed his surprise; was this the strength that Progenitor Chen had possessed at this cultivation realm? There was a trace of blood on Wang Yi’s arm, and he had obviously been injured.
However, Wang Yi was also the only person who had managed to take an attack from the summoned Progenitor Chen without taking even a single step back.
The knife disappeared before reappearing before Lu Yin next. At this time, everyone saw what was happening; Shang Qing was attacking everyone. He wanted to completely clear the mountaintop of all people. Those who did not qualify would not be allowed to stay on top of the mountain. This realization exploded and shocked the entire universe.
An astral chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin’s feet, and he instantly disappeared. However, the knife actually shot through the void to continue attacking, as though it were forcing Lu Yin to face the challenge.
Lu Yin raised a hand and pointed out with a finger: Seventh Bro Finger.
Nine lined battle force shrouded the finger, his domain compressed his spiritual force and physical strength into the finger, and the Overlaying Stacks Path amplified the power. Simultaneously, Lu Yin’s pupils transformed into runes as he erased a portion of the runes in the approaching attack. This was his Seventh Bro Finger. It was Lu Yin’s strongest attack, and it was his only attack that surpassed his Vacuum Palm in power.
Wang Yi’s eyebrows rose when he saw the Seventh Bro Finger; had Lu Yin actually been keeping something hidden during their fight?
There was a bang as Lu Yin’s finger struck the knife. Behind the knife, the image of an illusory Progenitor Chen appeared. If Wang Yi had been the first to block this knife, then Lu Yin was the first to reveal the true nature of this attack.
These knife attacks had not been randomly thrown out by the summoned Progenitor Chen, as they were actually the Xia family’s Triple Blade Will. The will had not been released; rather, it had been condensed onto the knife itself, which meant that each attack carried the power of the third Triple Blade Will. This was basically the maximum power that the summoned Progenitor Chen could release in any given attack.
This attack was somewhat similar to Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm, as it used the concept of layered power. As long as the body could withstand the force of the attack, it could be used at will.
Progenitor Chen had gone beyond the Xia family’s Triple Blade Will, as he was able to condense the technique onto a blade and continuously attack without limits.
The knife disappeared, only to next appear in front of Qiu Shi. She needed to endure the attack. Otherwise the knife would not give up chasing after her.
Qiu Shi could also sense this, and she silently cursed Shang Qing for being a madman. She gathered stars into her hands and used the Celestial Sword together with the Teleportation Formation.
There was a deafening bang, and a shockwave spread out to all sides, tearing the void apart. The knife attack had cut through the Celestial Sword, but Qiu Shi was able to dodge the attack by using the Teleportation Formation, which also caught the knife.
Off in the distance, Bu Kong’s expression changed. This was not good—it was about to be his turn! The imprint of the Progenitor of Secret Arts appeared behind Bu Kong.
The knife slashed down, and a bleeding wound appeared on Bu Kong’s palm, but the knife did not force Bu Kong down the mountain.
Bu Kong and Zhi Yi were both members of the Daosource Three Skies, and they were both pinnacle experts. If not for the fact that Wang Yi’s earlier attack had bisected Zhi Yi and enflicted terrible wounds upon her, she would not have lost to the summoned Progenitor’s attack.
This knife had been Shang Qing’s test for everyone. If they were able to endure, then they qualified to remain at the top of the mountain. If they failed, they would be cast down.
Shang Qing had lost his patience with the chaotic battle, as he felt that such a brawl was lowering the dignity that ZENITH deserved. Everyone present at this moment was a true expert.
The light of the knife slashed down once again, appearing in front of Yuhua Mavis this time. She raised her right arm, which was wrapped about with green leaves, and the emblem of leaves also appeared on her forehead as she threw a punch out.
There was a bang, and the light from the knife fell back. Yuhua Mavis had also blocked the attack, but her fist had been cut by the blade, leaving a clear injury behind.
The next target was Wu Taibai. When the light of the blade appeared, Wu Taibai raised a hand and grabbed it.
Upon seeing this, everyone else’s expressions changed dramatically. Even Wang Yi had been injured by this attack, so how could Wu Taibai have the courage to grab it? He was either ignorant or confident.
Wu Taibai was also one of the Daosource Three Skies, and no one believed him to be foolish. Thus, the only remaining option was that he was supremely confident.
A clicking sound filled the air as Wu Taibai grabbed the knife light. The energy shrouding his body spiked, but he did not even retreat by half a step. He looked over at Shang Qing. “Give me this knife, and I’ll pay you back.”
After that, he raised his left hand. “Mountains and Rivers Imprint.”
This secret technique ignored space and distance to appear right above Shang Qing’s head. His expression remained indifferent, but a trace of excitement had appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The Mountains and Rivers Imprint was a secret technique from the Progenitor of Combat. It was naturally not an easy attack to deal with. A strand of qi was immediately shattered by the Mountains and Rivers Imprint, but the secret technique also disappeared.
The knife light disappeared from Wu Taibai’s hand. At this moment, the only ones atop the mountain who had not been attacked by Shang Qing’s summoned Progenitor Chen were Yao Xuan, Star Devourer, Lan Si, Bai Mai, and Starsibyl.
Lan Si was the most straightforward, and he directly jumped down.
Starsibyl also jumped down from the peak. She knew that she could not deal with that knife, and she had no interest in dying.
Although Star Devourer struggled to use his brain, he could remember that he had already been defeated by the summoned Progenitor Chen. Thus, there was no need to think any further as the beast fled down to the first layer with his tail between his legs.

The light from the knife slashed at Bai Mai, and the corpse bug was sent flying. No one knew whether it had been injured, but regardless, it was gone.
Finally, only Yao Xuan remained. The crown prince’s body was still very weak and translucent. Although he was composed of pure materialized spiritual force, when the knife light appeared before him, Yao Xuan fled, and the attack passed by him. Yao Xuan had no desire to take on such a risk, as this was an attack from Progenitor Chen, a powerhouse on the same level as Progenitor Wushang. Suffering an attack from someone at that level was terrifying to even think about.
Yao Xuan had already had a difficult fight with Lu Yin, and he also suffered a terrible attack from Wang Yi. Thus, he desperately needed some time to recover.
The attack did not hurt Yao Xuan, though he also left the mountaintop and descended the stairs.
At this moment, only eight people remained at the peak of Zenith Mountain: Shang Qing, Wang Yi, Qiu Shi, Liquor Hero, Lu Yin, Wu Taibai, Yuhua Mavis, and Bu Kong.
The summoned Progenitor Chen stood in the center, holding a long sword that had been formed by star energy. The summon looked around itself.
Meanwhile, Shang Qing was half-floating in the air. A strand of qi swirled around him, and another summoned Progenitor Chen was standing beside him.
Shang Qing alone had managed to clear up the top of Zenith Mountain, knocking down every unqualified person.
“This is a bit better, but there are still quite a few people,” Shang Qing casually commented. He was ready to fight. “I hope that you can force out my third stream of qi.”
Bu Kong’s palm had already recovered, as he had used the Secret Technique of Resurrection. “You really deserve to be beaten! Aren’t you worried that we’ll just team up and beat you up?”
Shang Qing’s mouth curled into a smile. “Why else would I attack all of you?”
Bu Kong’s face showed his astonishment; this was too crazy!
As a future leader of the Sixth Mainland, Bu Kong already believed himself to be incredibly arrogant. At the beginning of ZENITH, he had also used his power to eliminate many of the Fifth Mainland’s powerhouses. However, he had not expected this freak to be even more arrogant than him.
Countless people throughout the universe were in an uproar, as everyone could sense Shang Qing’s eagerness to fight with his full power. He was truly antagonizing everyone present. Was he really not afraid of collapsing under the pressure? After all, everyone left on the plaza had survived a knife attack from Progenitor Chen!
Wu Taibai smiled. It was impossible to reach the pinnacle by relying on battle techniques. Every battle technique had been created by a person, and the foundation of everything was people.
Did Shang Qing actually believe that he could become a Progenitor by relying on this Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique? This was simply him using Progenitor Chen’s strength, not Shang Qing’s personal power.
Suddenly, Wu Taibai remembered something, and he looked over at Shang Qing. No, if Wu Taibai could figure this out, then how could the others not do the same? Shang Qing was the Hall of Honor’s first Honor Chosen, and he had been given limitless resources as well as a comparable education. Was it actually possible for him to be so naive?
What was Shang Qing actually trying to do?
Lu Yin was surprised to discover that Shang Qing was incredibly arrogant, though not to the point where he ignored all of his peers. Was there anyone present who did not have the strength to go up against Shang Qing? Back in the Mountain and Seas Zone, Liu Tianmu’s Thirteenth Sword had injured Shang Qing, and everyone else present still had their own trump cards. If everyone teamed up, then even if Progenitor Chen himself returned, he might not be able to win. What was Shang Qing trying to do here?
In the Neoverse’s Honor Zone, Arch-Elder Zen sighed. “Do you really want to break through the barrier of Tri-Yang Technique? You can never become a Progenitor by relying on a peerless technique. So, you intend to use everyone else to drive you to the brink of death so that you can break through and rise back up. You also want to enjoy this fight, and even if you don’t stand a chance, this is your obsession. The Tri-Yang Technique created you, but it has also destroyed you.”
Shang Qing had always been lonely. The Neoverse was where the Fifth Mainland’s best geniuses congregated, but because he cultivated the Tri-Yang Technique, Shang Qing had never been able to find a rival. Even in the Mountain and Seas Zone, he had never revealed the full power of his technique. Corpse Beast had been slightly entertaining, but not for long.
At this moment, the true strength of Progenitor Chen had appeared in the form of the summoned image that used the ancestral qi. If Shang Qing had used this much power in the Mountain and Seas Zone, then no one would have dared to make a move. However, this was Progenitor Chen’s power, not Shang Qing’s.
As he had said, it was too boring. He had not expected ZENITH to draw out so many powerhouses. The Daosource Three Skies had not disappointed Shang Qing, and he was able to freely summon Progenitor Chen. With the way that things were progressing, if everyone ganged up on him, then he really would be forced to use his third strand of ancestral qi. These fights would be too boring otherwise.
At this moment, out of the eight remaining people, the sticks of incense behind Shang Qing, Wang Yi, Qiu Shi, Liquor Hero, and Lu Yin had already burned out. Wu Taibai had briefly left the peak of the mountain partway through the massive battle, and during that time, his incense had recovered slightly. Thus, he had the same amount of time left as Yuhua Mavis. Bu Kong had the most time remaining.
Only five of them were truly in ZENITH’s top ten.
However, that did not really matter at the moment. Shang Qing wanted to fight against everyone at once. Wang Yi stared at Lu Yin while Wu Taibai stared at Xia Jiuyou, who had fallen to the bottom of the stairs. This was a free-for-all, and no one could be certain what would happen in the end.
Just as Shang Qing was about to continue the fight, an overbearing pressure spread across the universe and pressed down upon Zenith Mountain.
For a moment, the entire Fifth Mainland seemed to tremble. Outside of Zenith Mountain, Mu En and the others all looked up at once.
In the Neoverse, Arch-Elder Zen and others leaped to their feet; the Sixth Mainland’s Progenitor of Combat had moved. Just what was he doing?
Not only did the Fifth Mainland’s powerhouses find this matter strange, but the Sixth Mainland cultivators also felt the same, as they could not understand why the Progenitor of Combat had suddenly arrived.
Wu Taibai looked up. Master?
The power of a Progenitor was truly unfathomable, and it was completely awe inspiring.
Lu Yin did not dare to recite the Stonewall Scriptures at this moment. As soon as he was enveloped by the Progenitor of Combat’s power, Lu Yin’s body seemed to freeze, and he was completely unable to move.
At this moment, Shang Qing, who had been about to take action, was similarly unable to move. Everyone just stood where they were, waiting for the Progenitor of Combat’s power to recede.
