Chapter 3185 Please enlighten me, Immortal Emperor!

Cangshan region.

In the battlefield.

The cultivators from both sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Gu Qingyang walked slowly, blood flowing like a river beneath his feet, a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses behind him, and a surge of sword energy around him, constantly slaying the dark cultivators around him.

Even without using the power of the nine immortal swords, Gu Qingyang is comparable to a top-tier ancient immortal, or even no weaker than a typical half-step immortal emperor.

The sword energy refined through the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Sword Manual is extremely sharp, and whenever sword energy is unleashed, it is always accompanied by the death of a cultivator.

Despite the seemingly endless number of dark cultivators, their strength is generally not very high.

The reason why it was able to sweep through all the immortal realms like a tidal wave was because the vast majority of dark cultivators had lost their minds and become bloodthirsty slaves.

Competition among those in the same region.

These cultivators are fearless and undaunted by death.

Therefore.

That's why the Dark Army was able to occupy hundreds of Immortal Realms in just a few hundred thousand years.

certainly--

This is also related to the erosion of the mind by dark forces.

However, it cannot be denied that the dark army that has invaded Shenfeng Prefecture is generally not very strong. Although there are some ancient immortals, they are nothing special.

Such power is difficult for other lower-level immortal realms to contend with.

However, for forces in mid-level immortal realms, this level of power is not that terrifying.

Not to mention.

Gu Qingyang's strength, which is no weaker than that of a half-step Immortal Emperor, is top-tier even in the mid-level Immortal Realm.

Therefore.

In front of him.

How could the other dark monks possibly be a match for them?

"boom!"

The void shattered, and a dark ancient immortal launched a fierce attack, its powerful force seemingly intent on completely annihilating Gu Qingyang on the spot.

The latter raised an eyebrow, and the sword energy around him gathered like a hurricane, instantly sweeping across the sky and swallowing the dark ancient immortal.

"Do not--"

The Dark Immortal looked terrified; it was too late for him to escape.

next moment.

Sword energy then swept through, and his flesh and blood vanished, instantly killing him on the spot.

The other cultivators all showed expressions of awe upon seeing this.

"Instantly kill an ancient immortal!"

"This is the strength of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect!"

"It is said that this person once personally visited the Cangyun Immortal Sect and killed thirteen Dark Ancient Immortals, demonstrating extremely formidable strength."

Even the sect leader of the Cangyun Immortal Sect, Qingyun Immortal Lord, frankly admitted that he was inferior to this Nine Heavens Sword Immortal!

Nine Heavens Sword Immortal!

That was the respectful title other cultivators used for Gu Qingyang.

The other party is rumored to wield nine swords, capable of slaying immortals and gods, hence the title "Nine Heavens Sword Immortal".

The words "Sword Immortal" are used.

This means that the other party has achieved unparalleled mastery in swordsmanship.

In other high-level or top-tier immortal realms, Gu Qingyang's strength might not be enough to warrant the title of Sword Immortal.

In the lower-level immortal realms, the title of "Sword Immortal" is truly well-deserved.

Although the Xuantian Dao Sect only sent the peak master of the Shufeng Peak to lead the team, many of the sect's cultivators performed exceptionally well.

Among them, Gu Qingyang, the Nine Heavens Sword Immortal, and Mu Chen, the Heavenly Thunder God, are the most famous and the most powerful.

From this point alone.

This shows just how terrifying the Xuantian Dao Sect's foundation truly is.

Not only were the lower-level immortal realms shocked, but the forces of other mid-level immortal realms have also raised their fear of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect to an unprecedented level.

A sequence!

He possesses strength comparable to many sect leaders.

Moreover, the news of Yang Daoxu's breakthrough to Immortal Emperor had already spread far and wide.

On the bright side.

The Xuantian Dao Sect has four immortal emperors in existence.

Such power, placed in a mid-level immortal realm, would be nothing short of a dimensional reduction attack.

Many forces are well aware that when the next Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens, the Divine Heaven Domain will likely be officially promoted to a high-level Immortal Domain.

After all, with such strength, pushing the Divine Heaven Domain to a high-level Immortal Domain would not be a big problem at all.

Some of the lower-ranked high-level immortal realms are not as strong as the Divine Heaven Realm.

Immortal Emperor!

It's not something you can see everywhere!

Although it seems that Immortal Emperors can be seen everywhere in Immortal Realms like the Divine Sun Domain, in fact, Immortal Emperors are extremely rare in ordinary Immortal Realms.

-

"A mere mid-stage Ancient Immortal, yet possessing strength comparable to a half-step Immortal Emperor—such a prodigy should rightfully join our Eternal Life Divine Sect!"

A strange and chilling voice came, and then an ancient immortal dressed in black robes appeared in the void. The person's body was as heavy as an abyss, completely incomparable to other ancient immortals.

Gu Qingyang looked at the newcomer with a rare seriousness in his expression.

"The Cult of Immortality... I have never heard of it!"

"Hehehe, our Eternal Life Cult worships the Dark Lord and has a vast influence that extends throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. With your talent, if you join our Eternal Life Cult, your future achievements will be limitless."

"The mere Xuantian Dao Sect isn't even worthy of carrying our Eternal Life Divine Sect's shoes!"

The black-robed ancient immortal's words were full of seductive allure, but when he mentioned the name of the Dark Lord, his expression became fanatical, as if he had seen a supreme being.

"So, the Eternal Life Cult is quite powerful?"

Gu Qingyang asked calmly.

The black-robed ancient immortal seemed to have seen through his purpose, and then said with a strange laugh, "You don't need to test me so much. Once you join my Longevity God Sect, you will understand the power of my sect."

If you obediently surrender now, you can be spared physical pain.

"At that time, I will await your arrival at my cult's location, where you will be baptized by darkness, and then you will become a member of the cult!"

"If you don't comply—"

You should be aware of the consequences!

As the last sentence fell, the aura emanating from the black-robed ancient immortal suddenly surged, pressing down like a heavy mountain.

moment.

The void, spanning millions of miles, shattered.

Many cultivators were horrified when they sensed such power.

Such terrifying pressure is completely incomparable to that of an ordinary half-step Immortal Emperor.

Gu Qingyang felt a weight on his shoulders, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, causing his expression to change slightly.

"how!"

"I'll only give you three breaths to consider—"

The ancient immortal in black robes smiled faintly, his hands behind his back, as if he had everything under control.

But the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyang unleashed a fierce sword intent, instantly shattering all his imposing aura. Immediately afterward, a celestial sword burst forth from his body, piercing through the void like a world-destroying divine rainbow, directly hurtling towards the black-robed ancient immortal.

That moment.

The black-robed ancient immortal felt a strong sense of threat surge into his heart, causing him to look terrified.

"boom!"

The opponent immediately unleashed an ancient seal, which was then used to strike the immortal sword.

However, when the two touched, the ancient seal exploded in less than a breath, and the remaining force of the immortal sword not only struck the black-robed ancient immortal.

The protective aura vanished.

The black-robed ancient immortal had a hole pierced through his chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out, causing him to suffer a severe injury.

But this didn't stop there. Gu Qingyang took another step forward, and the remaining eight immortal swords around him burst out of his body, their energy intertwined with that immortal sword, as if a world-shaking killing array was covering him.

"Nine Imperial Immortal Artifacts... No!!!"

The ancient immortal in black robes looked terrified.

this moment.

He was no longer as arrogant as he had been.

With nine Emperor Immortal Artifacts right in front of him, the black-robed ancient immortal sensed the aura of death. Even with his strength, comparable to an invincible ancient immortal, he now appeared somewhat weak and vulnerable.

after all--

Even the invincible ancient immortal is just an ancient immortal.

With all nine Emperor-level Immortal Artifacts unleashed, Gu Qingyang had pushed the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Sword Manual to its limit. This was a deadly strike that even an Immortal Emperor would have to treat with utmost caution.

A mere ancient immortal.

Nature cannot withstand it.

When the nine immortal swords came crashing down, the black-robed ancient immortal couldn't even struggle before his physical body was reduced to ashes by the swords, and he perished on the spot in an instant.

From the moment Gu Qingyang made his move to the fall of the black-robed ancient immortal, only a few breaths had passed.

But at the very moment the black-robed ancient immortal fell, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended, the nine immortal swords trembled violently, and Gu Qingyang's expression also changed drastically.

Immediately.

With a thought, Gu Qingyang summoned nine immortal swords that surrounded him, their terrifying sword energy surging forth. At the same time, he looked solemnly into the void.

There.

A figure slowly appeared.

"Immortal Emperor—"

Gu Qingyang uttered two words, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

Simultaneously.

The immortal swords around him trembled slightly, as if sensing the threat of the Immortal Emperor's aura, and bursts of sword light flickered, as if they were about to rush up and fight him.

"Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations, as a mid-level Ancient Immortal who has slain an invincible Ancient Immortal!"

Li Yutian's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with chilling killing intent as he looked at Gu Qingyang.

They originally thought that with the strength of the black-robed ancient immortal, they could easily suppress Gu Qingyang.

After all, the latter was only a mid-level Ancient Immortal. Even though his battle record was impressive and he had killed many Dark Ancient Immortals, in Li Yutian's opinion, the opponent's strength was at most comparable to a half-step Immortal Emperor, and he was unlikely to be a match for the Black-Robed Ancient Immortal.

But it wasn't until later that Li Yu realized he had underestimated his opponent.

But by the time he tried to make a move, it was already too late.

The ancient immortal in black robes has fallen.

The Soul-Capturing Hall has lost another invincible ancient immortal.

Perhaps for the entire Eternal Life Cult, an invincible ancient immortal is nothing, but for the Soul-Seizing Hall, an invincible ancient immortal is not something that can be easily lost.

The Soul-Seizing Hall's strength had already been greatly weakened, and now it has lost an invincible ancient immortal, which means its influence within the Longevity God Sect will inevitably decline significantly.

but--

Nothing is absolute.

If they could subdue the cultivator before them, the Soul-Seizing Hall wouldn't be unable to bear such a loss.

"I'm giving you a chance. Surrender now and you'll be spared death!"

Li Yutian suppressed his killing intent and said indifferently.

however.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingyang took a step forward, his sword intent shaking the heavens, and the nine immortal swords, carrying the force to shatter the sky, rushed towards him.

"Gu Qingyang of the Xuantian Dao Sect requests the Immortal Emperor's guidance!"

This scene.

This made Li Yutian laugh in anger, and any remaining thought of appreciating talent vanished completely.

He looked at Gu Qingyang, who was charging towards him, and all the emotions in his eyes turned into an extremely cold killing intent, as if the surrounding void was frozen with ice.

"If you wish to die, then I will naturally grant your wish!"
