My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Zhou Qingxu glanced at the old woman and then at the blood fog enveloping the skies above Great Tang Chang'an City.

"The superior said no one is allowed in, but it seems no one can enter anyway," she mused.

"This barrier simply isn't something ordinary people can break through."

"It requires a Sky-Man to do so."

"It seems the superior has assigned me a tough task. The emergence of this city—I wonder how many Sky-Men it will attract."

Zhou Qingxu muttered to himself, his hand lifting slightly as he casually waved toward the direction the old woman had fled.

He then slowly turned around.

And addressed the colleagues behind him.

"Spread out, you heard what the superior said."

As Zhou Qingxu's words fell, the Great Tang's powerhouses around him nodded slightly, their expressions unchanged and with little exchange of words. They silently took positions, forming a circle and protecting Great Tang Chang'an City within it.

The powerhouses looked at Zhou Qingxu and the Great Tang powerhouses beside him with dazed eyes.

Their faces were slightly frozen.

Inwardly, they couldn't help feeling a tinge of fear.

The Qian Mountain Sect that had just been causing chaos here.

Had been annihilated by a middle-aged man who appeared to be young, using nothing but his bare hands.

And that ancestor of Qian Mountain Sect hadn't even engaged Zhou Qingxu in a fight before he was scared off.

That ancestor from Qian Mountain Sect was a Sky-Man.

The person able to scare away the ancestor from Qian Mountain Sect.

Must also definitely be a Sky-Man.

Seeing how young Zhou Qingxu appeared, the powerhouses couldn't help but feel astonished.

A person so young had reached the cultivation level of the Heavenly Human Realm, it was impossible for him to be unknown.

From where did this powerhouse emerge?

For a moment, the powerhouses' hearts were filled with uncontrollable speculation about Zhou Qingxu.

If among them were those who had participated in the war between Great Zhou and Great Yuan, perhaps they would be able to recognize him.

Zhou Qingxu at this moment was the same enigmatic person who had assisted Great Yuan back then.

At the same time.

Many powerhouses couldn't imagine that whom they considered Zhou Qingxu to be a Sky-Man, had still underestimated his true level.

Zhou Qingxu was much more than a Sky-Man; under normal circumstances, even if more than a dozen Sky-Men attacked him together, Zhou Qingxu wouldn't bat an eye.

Plus the few dozen Sky-Men from Great Tang.

At this moment.

This force could already steamroll any dynasty in the world.

Yet, this truth.

Was beyond the wildest thoughts of the many strong ones present.

As the powerhouses pondered, they suddenly heard another sound.

They sharply turned to look in the direction the old woman had left.

In the direction the old woman had taken,

they heard a roar filled with ferocity explode through the heavens and the earth.

Subsequently, the void shattered like glass, the cracking sound incessant in their ears.

A head covered in black patterns, immense in size, burst from the void, opening its gaping maw wide to snap at the old woman.

The old woman sensed the disturbance behind her and turned her head slightly.

As soon as she turned,

She saw a monstrous head, large enough to fill her entire field of vision.

A terrifying presence instantly enveloped her.

Her previously retreating body came to a sudden halt as her tiny, withered figure appeared utterly insignificant under the shadow of the immense head.

The old woman stood frozen in place.

Following that,

Bang!

The figure of the old woman was directly devoured by the monstrous, giant head, followed by a chilling sound of munching.

The echoes of that munching made the scalps of the countless powerhouses around tingle.

This was a Sky-Man!!!

That ancestor from Qian Mountain Sect was a Sky-Man!!!

And he just died like that???

Under the watchful eyes of the powerhouses,

The munching sound didn't last long; the giant, monstrous face chewed for a bit before spitting it out emotionlessly.

It seemed almost disgusted, expelling it a great distance away in a single breath.

Looking at the old woman's state now,

One couldn't call her human anymore.

She was merely a clump of flesh and blood.

The faces of the powerhouses changed drastically, their gaze turning upwards towards Zhou Qingxu, who appeared indifferent.

Zhou Qingxu, looking at the distant scene, didn't find anything unexpected and slowly withdrew his gaze, then sensed the stares of the powerhouses around him.

He frowned slightly,

But then decided not to bother with it anymore.

These people lacked even the strength of Sky-Men, couldn't even break the barrier of Great Tang Chang'an City. Just coming into contact with Great Tang Chang'an City's barrier would probably lead them to be annihilated on the spot.

After Zhou Qingxu yawned, his gaze shifted slightly to look at the two large characters above the city walls behind him.

"Chang'an."

Zhou Qingxu slowly articulated these two characters.

As one of the Twelve Sect Leaders, he was regarded highly by the Great Tang Emperor.

Zhou Qingxu had heard the word "Chang'an" from the mouth of the Great Tang Emperor on more than one occasion.

To the Great Tang Emperor, Chang'an was perhaps the softest, most untouchable place in his heart.

Every time "Chang'an" was mentioned,

The mood of the Great Tang Emperor was never good, and he also showed signs of deep sadness.

The Chang'an that Zhou Qingxu and the Great Tang Emperor often mentioned had long ceased to exist.

But now...

This Chang'an...

Had once again appeared in this world.

Zhou Qingxu caressed his chin, pondering.

The Chang'an before him,

Was it the same place mentioned by the Great Tang Emperor?

Zhou Qingxu didn't quite understand and then sensed that several gazes had fallen upon him.

He sighed.

Then, raising his eyes slightly, he looked towards the firmament above, at the several streaks of light swooping in his direction.
