Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

After a long two-day journey, Shen Haoran and the others finally returned to the Celestial Spirit Sect from the Desert Land. As soon as they disembarked from the Camel Peak Bird, the Grand Elder hastily gave a few instructions before rushing impatiently toward the Sect’s meeting hall. He needed to inform the Sect Leader of what had transpired in the Secret Realm, leaving Shen Haoran and the others to look at each other in confusion before the main gate.

"Sigh..." Shen Haoran could only let out a long sigh at the sight. He then shook his head with a faint smile and started walking into the Sect with Murong Wanqing. However, just as he was about to go, Xue Shitian called out to him from behind.

"Shen Haoran, do you dare to fight me?" Xue Shitian challenged loudly, his gaze fixed on him.

Hearing Xue Shitian’s shout, Shen Haoran stopped. He turned, gave Xue Shitian a strange look, and said flatly, "Not interested!" With that, he started walking again. ’Is this Xue Shitian crazy? Challenging me now? Where was he before? He must have nothing better to do.’

"What, are you scared? I admit you’re strong. You’ve earned the right to be my opponent. So I’ll give you a chance—a chance to be my opponent!" A confident smile touched Xue Shitian’s lips. As the number one genius on the Northern Domain’s Hidden Dragon List, he possessed absolute confidence and pride. Shen Haoran was the very first person he had ever acknowledged as a worthy opponent.

"To be considered an opponent by Brother Xue... even if Shen Haoran loses, he can brag about it for a whole year!"

"Shen Haoran is so honored! A fight with Brother Xue is an immense honor. What is he hesitating for? He should hurry up and agree!" The other two disciples standing nearby looked at Shen Haoran with envy.

Hearing the words of the two disciples, the smile on Xue Shitian’s face grew even brighter. He wanted to fight Shen Haoran because, in the Secret Realm, Shen Haoran had completely stolen his thunder as the Northern Domain’s number one genius. But that was only because of his teacher’s help in slaying the Demon King and confronting those Spirit Emperor Level Elders. Now, Xue Shitian would make him understand that relying on the strength of others ultimately makes one nothing but a buffoon. Only those who possess their own true power can be considered a true King.

However, Shen Haoran paid Xue Shitian’s provocation no mind. He just kept walking, acting as though he hadn’t heard a thing.

Seeing that Shen Haoran was still ignoring him, Xue Shitian’s expression sank. In a flash, he appeared before Shen Haoran, blocking his path. "Shen Haoran, don’t tell me you’re scared," he said coldly. "Are you worried that your performance in the Secret Realm was all thanks to that powerful teacher of yours, and that you have no real strength of your own?" After speaking, Xue Shitian shot Shen Haoran a provocative smirk.

Looking at Xue Shitian, who was relentlessly provoking him, a slight smile suddenly touched the corner of Shen Haoran’s lips. He then said lightly, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"

"No. I am giving *you* an opportunity—the opportunity to be my opponent!" Xue Shitian said in a condescending tone, as if the battle were some charity he was bestowing upon Shen Haoran.

"Fine, I accept!" Shen Haoran didn’t bother to refute Xue Shitian’s words and simply nodded. ’Since he wants a fight so badly, I might as well indulge him.’

Hearing Shen Haoran agree, a triumphant smirk crossed Xue Shitian’s face. He sneered, "Very good. Then let’s not waste any more time. Let’s begin!"

Xue Shitian said impatiently. Without another word, and without waiting for Shen Haoran to get ready, he stomped his feet and shot toward him. Blood-red Spiritual Power instantly enveloped his entire body as the full aura of a Tier Nine Peak practitioner erupted forth.

The distance between them was not great. With Xue Shitian’s explosive power, he was in front of Shen Haoran in an instant. The blood-red Spiritual Power dyed his fist a crimson color as it rocketed toward Shen Haoran’s head, creating a series of sonic booms.

Faced with Xue Shitian’s ferocious assault, Shen Haoran remained completely motionless. The next moment, the crimson fist was upon Shen Haoran’s face, but the expected impact never came. Xue Shitian’s punch passed straight through Shen Haoran’s head.

’An afterimage! It’s an afterimage!’ Xue Shitian screamed inwardly the moment his fist passed through the body. ’I didn’t see him move at all! How could he just vanish into thin air?’

Xue Shitian frantically scanned his surroundings, trying to find Shen Haoran, but he couldn’t sense even a trace of his aura.

However, just as Xue Shitian was searching for him, Shen Haoran reappeared. His hands shot out like lightning and clamped onto Xue Shitian’s head. Before Xue Shitian could even react, Shen Haoran shoved his head down while simultaneously driving his knee up. The next instant, Xue Shitian’s head and Shen Haoran’s knee made intimate contact.

THUD—

A dull thud rang out as Shen Haoran’s knee connected with Xue Shitian’s face. In that split second, Xue Shitian felt his entire face contort as his nose instantly caved in. Blood and broken teeth sprayed from his mouth. The tremendous force of the blow even rattled his Sea of Consciousness. Xue Shitian’s body was sent flying, tracing a graceful parabola through the air before crashing to the ground, unable to get back up.

HISS...

Seeing this, the disciples at the Sect gate couldn’t help but gasp. Not even five breaths’ time had passed since the fight began. Wasn’t this supposed to be Xue Shitian’s show? How had Shen Haoran suddenly become the main character and brutally one-shot him at that?!

"Do you know why I didn’t accept your challenge at first? Because you’re not worthy of being my opponent!" Looking at the unconscious Xue Shitian, Shen Haoran dusted off his hands and spoke casually. ’Even before the Refinement of the Earth Spirit Profound Nether, I had the strength to fight him. I couldn’t guarantee a victory, but we wouldn’t have been far apart. But after the Refinement, my power didn’t just grow—it surged exponentially. The Xue Shitian of today is no threat to me at all!’

"Wanqing, let’s go!" Shen Haoran said. He then ignored the other disciples and Xue Shitian, leading Murong Wanqing into the Celestial Spirit Sect and leaving the others to stare at one another, at a complete loss.

"What do we do?" one of the disciples asked.

"What else can we do? Carry Xue Shitian inside. Shen Haoran isn’t afraid of him, but we don’t have that luxury!"

"Sigh... To think that Xue Shitian, the number one in the Northern Domain, couldn’t even take a single blow from Shen Haoran. It looks like that ’number one’ title is about to change hands..." The disciples sighed deeply, then lifted the unconscious Xue Shitian and carried him into the Sect...
