On the outskirts of the capital.

A hundred luxury cars arrived, grandly all parking at an abandoned factory.

"I don't know what tricks they are playing, arranging to meet us in this godforsaken place."

One family head after another stepped out from their luxury vehicles, all frowning at the surroundings.

Chu Yanran was a true international giant, surpassing everyone present; had they not been numerous and backed by ancient families, they would never dare pressure Empress Chu.

Chu Yanran's intelligence was unparalleled; she had summoned the elite family heads here, and even those backed by ancient families felt uneasy.

The factory was in a state of abandonment, overgrown with weeds, giving off an eerie vibe.

The heads of elite families seriously suspected that ambushes were set inside with tanks and cannons ready, just waiting for them to rush in so Chu Yanran could blast them to pieces.

"Mr. Xue, aren't you coming in with us?" one family head asked Xue Qixing cautiously as he approached him.

"You go in to get the contract; we'll guard outside," Xue Qixing replied.

"Mr. Xue, if you don't come in, what if there's an ambush?" The color drained from the family head's face, looking as if he had eaten something foul.

"You cowardly piece of trash!" At that moment, a handsome and striking young man approached. "Are dozens of you afraid of a few women?"

This young master was from a powerful ancient family, the Murong Family.

The Murong Family was very influential, boasting several Great Venerables of the Other Shore, positioning them as a dominant force even among ancient families.

"Murong master," the family head, having been insulted, still greeted him with a smile, showing no sign of irritation.

These individuals represented ancient families, and their words could decide his life and death, or even annihilate the elite family he was from; none of the elite family heads dared to offend them.

"Stop standing here idly; hurry up and enter the factory. Find that woman and talk about the contract!" a woman said coldly to the family head.

This haughty woman also hailed from an ancient family, her name was He Bingyun.

"Miss He, the factory might hold hidden dangers; if you don't come with us..." The family head hesitated, clearly very afraid to die.

"You don't need to say it, I know you're afraid of dying, right?" He Bingyun said with a cold laugh.

"Yes!" The family head admitted openly, without a hint of embarrassment.

"Humph!" He Bingyun snorted. "As you are working for us now, we certainly won't let you die!"

"When you elite family heads go in, we will send a group of strong individuals to follow and ensure your safety," stated He Bingyun indifferently.

"That is wonderful; thank you, Miss He!" The family head expressed his joy, his gratitude evident. Had he not been worried about getting killed, he would have rushed forward and clung to He Bingyun's leg right then.

"Alright, get going inside now!" another young master from an ancient family approached and instructed the family head.

"Understood!" The family head backed away cautiously, because these powerful second generations were all beyond his ability to deal with.

The ancient families were transcendent and supreme, with not too many of them existing, making them eternal dynasties that had stood unshaken since ancient times—only nine such families existed!

The nine great ancient families had long been in hiding, not emerging for many years, but this time, the catastrophe between heaven and earth was ferociously abnormal. Even the ancient families felt the crisis, so these families emerged one after another, hoping to gain an advantage.

However, out of the nine great families, only four revealed themselves, while the remaining five continued in their concealment.

The four great families were the Murong Family, the Xue Family, the He family, and the Lin Family!

Murong Changtian, Xue Qixing, He Bingyun, and Lin Wantao were the pioneers sent by these four great families!

All four of these individuals were family geniuses, each on the high end of the battle immortal scale, with the most powerful being Murong Changtian, who had already reached the pinnacle of battle immortals!

Moreover, Murong Changtian and the others each led a group of experts, among them several Land Gods, and even the most powerful immortals from beneath the other shore were present!

Although the Great Venerable of the Other Shore did not appear, the power of these four great families could already overturn heaven and earth!

"The men behind those women, their names are Ye Chen, right?" He Bingyun said. "This person defeated several powerful battle immortals and has become the first under heaven, our people won't have any trouble, will they?"

"He Bingyun, you worry too much!" Murong Changtian said. "We have dispatched a group of Land Gods, including four supreme immortals, as well as the strongest battle immortal from our Murong Family. As long as there is no Great Venerable of the Other Shore in the factory, such power is enough to eliminate anything!"

"I heard that this Ye Chen is just at the peak of the tenth dragon tier. How could such a nobody become the first under heaven? This mundane world is truly in a dilapidated state," Murong Changtian said with a disdainful laugh, exuding an arrogance that seemed to scorn the world.

"Strange, why isn't there a single soul here? Chu Yanran couldn't have deceived me, could she?"

The family heads arrived inside the factory, only to find it covered in dust, devoid of even a ghostly shadow, feeling utterly duped.

The Land Gods from the ancient families held their breath and concentrated, trying to sense if anyone was hiding around, but the surroundings were empty and they sensed nothing.

Just as the group was filled with doubt, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the factory, facing them.

"Damn, who is this!" A figure suddenly appearing in the quiet environment startled some of them.

However, with the appearance of this person, the experts from the ancient families were all profoundly shaken.

These experts from the four great families were the elite of the elite, with at least the ability of Land Gods, among them four ultimate immortals, and even an utmost powerful battle immortal!

Yet, neither these ultimate immortals nor the most powerful one had detected anyone hidden here.

And now, a figure had suddenly materialized out of nowhere; this couldn't possibly be instant teleportation, but rather someone who had been hidden all along.

Someone has been hiding here without their detection, does this not mean the person's cultivation could deceive heaven itself, surpassing all of them?

"Thirteen Land Gods, four ultimate immortals, and one most powerful battle immortal, is this the power of the ancient families?" Ye Chen sighed as he looked at the group of powerful immortals. "Land Gods are rare throughout the world, and the ancient families send such forces casually, it's truly daunting!"

This group was comprised of Land Gods, including four ultimate immortals, and one most powerful immortal. Seeing such a lineup, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel shaken.

Fortunately, Chu Yanran and the others did not come; otherwise, if a battle were to ensue, he would be greatly restrained.

"A ten dragon peak?" The most powerful immortal looked at Ye Chen, his face filled with seriousness and disbelief.

This most powerful battle immortal came from the Murong Family, and held an extremely high status within the family, second only to several Venerables of the Other Shore.

He was born in an ancient family and was widely experienced, having seen countless geniuses, but the moment he saw Ye Chen, he inexplicably started trembling.

Ye Chen was too young, too terrifying, too invincible!
