Chapter 3174 A Half-Saint's Strike
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect group has already left Tian Dao Immortal City!"
Inside a grand hall, a cultivator spoke respectfully, and above him sat a crimson figure.
Is the information accurate?
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang's eyes were indifferent.
Upon hearing this, the latter hurriedly replied, "I have been keeping a close eye on the Heavenly Dao Immortal City and personally witnessed the departure of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's immortal ship. There is absolutely no doubt about it!"
"I am aware of this matter. You may leave now!"
"Subordinates resign!"
As the cultivator left, the Immortal Emperor Lingyang's expression turned icy, and a chilling killing intent filled his eyes.
"Xuantian Dao Sect... Taixuzi... it's time to settle your scores with my Lingjiu Immortal Sect!"
Thousands of years ago.
Du Chen has fallen.
At that time, the Lingyang Immortal Emperor was in seclusion cultivating. After he emerged from seclusion and learned of this news, he secretly waited for the people of the Xuantian Dao Sect to leave Tiandao Immortal City.
After all, fighting is strictly prohibited within the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, and even the Lingjiu Immortal Sect has no right to violate this rule.
This wait.
That is, thousands of years.
Until this moment.
When the Immortal Emperor Lingyang learned of this, he realized that the opportunity for the Lingjiu Immortal Sect had arrived.
As long as the other party leaves the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, he is confident that he can suppress them.
Although the patriarch of the Xuantian Dao Sect had a remarkable record, the Lingyang Immortal Emperor was even more confident in his own strength.
"It's not just the grudge against Immortal Emperor Du Chen, but also the innate immortal body... and other opportunities of the Heavenly Dao. All of these things will fall into the hands of my Lingjiu Immortal Sect!"
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Lingyang Immortal Emperor's eyes transformed into greed.
The three peerless geniuses who were able to ascend the Immortal King Stele had also undergone the ancient Immortal Tribulation and received blessings from the Heavenly Dao.
Any opportunity involving the concept of "Heavenly Way" is extraordinary.
Some opportunities are about becoming one with a cultivator, and even killing them cannot take them away, but other opportunities are different.
If these opportunities fall into the hands of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect, they could further enhance the sect's foundation.
In addition-
In the eyes of the Immortal Emperor Lingyang.
The Lingjiu Immortal Sect has now become enemies with the Xuantian Dao Sect, which has produced three peerless geniuses who have ascended to the Immortal King Stele. If they cannot be nipped in the bud, who can guarantee that they will not become a scourge to the Lingjiu Immortal Sect in the future?
From any perspective, the Xuantian Dao Sect must be destroyed.
Immediately.
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang mobilized the power of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect and headed towards the Chaos.
-
In chaos.
The fairy boat flies across the sky.
From the moment he left the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, Shen Changqing had a vague sense of foreboding.
This feeling convinced him that some force was secretly targeting him.
but.
What forces are involved?
Shen Changqing is also unaware of the situation at the moment.
The reason is simple.
Although he hadn't offended many forces in the Divine Sun Domain, sometimes, it's not about offending them that creates enmity.
The opportunities within the Immortal King's Stele can also tempt many forces.
Although the influence has been completely diminished over the next few thousand years, there's no guarantee that someone isn't secretly watching.
If we stay in Heavenly Dao Immortal City, then there will naturally be no major problems.
But if you leave, things will be different.
Can't figure it out.
Shen Changqing then stopped thinking about it.
Now that things have come to this point, we must deal with each move as it comes.
Ji Yang and the others also vaguely sensed the oppressive aura of an impending storm, so they all silently secluded themselves inside the immortal ship to cultivate and break through to a higher realm.
This tranquility did not last long before it was shattered.
"boom!"
The chaotic void shattered, and a world-destroying power, like a hurricane, swept towards the immortal ship, engulfing everything in its path.
Shen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, took a step out of the main hall, and appeared in front of the immortal ship in the next instant.
With a flick of his sleeve.
The terrifying sword energy surged like a galaxy of billions of feet, tearing apart the hurricane. Its unstoppable force covered an area of billions of miles, and it could not be calmed for a long time.
"As expected of a powerful expert capable of killing Du Chen, such strength is truly extraordinary!"
A detached voice came, and then a Taoist in red robes appeared. He looked young, but his eyes held a chilling light that was hard to look away from.
As the other party appeared, several more figures appeared in the chaotic void.
The aura emanating from each figure was at least at the late stage of Immortal Emperor, with some even reaching the peak of Immortal Emperor.
Three Immortal Emperors at their peak!
Five Immortal Emperors at the Empress level!
This force.
This caused Ji Yang and the others' expressions to change drastically.
Only Shen Changqing remained calm, looking at the many Immortal Emperors who appeared in the void, and finally his gaze fell on the red-robed Taoist at the head.
"Are you from the Lingjiu Immortal Sect?"
"I am Lingyang!"
As soon as the Immortal Emperor Lingyang uttered a few words, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in the void.
Subsequently.
He looked at Shen Changqing, his eyes filled with admiration, but even more so with regret.
"To have reached this point in a backward immortal realm, you are indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, you should not have killed Du Chen, and you should not have offended my Lingjiu Immortal Sect."
If you stay in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, that's fine, but from the moment you leave the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, the ending is already predetermined.
"But you can rest assured, after I kill you, it won't be long before I make all the cultivators of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect pay for your death!"
The voice just fell.
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang had already taken action, not even giving Shen Changqing a chance to reply.
to him.
The longer it is delayed, the more unforeseen changes will occur.
This way.
Lingyang Immortal Emperor was unlikely to waste much time.
As Immortal Emperor Lingyang made his move, the other seven Immortal Emperors also joined in, their terrifying power raging through the void, determined to completely annihilate Shen Changqing and the others on the spot.
"kill!"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Changqing's eyes. At this moment, he had nothing left to hold back. With a flick of his sleeve, a blood-red array disc suddenly appeared.
In an instant.
Twelve immortal-slaying swords fell from the void, and an unparalleled killing formation that could be described as slaying immortals and killing gods was already in place.
Such overwhelming killing intent caused the expressions of Immortal Emperor Lingyang and the others to change.
"What kind of formation is this?!"
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang was shocked.
Although the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation was well-known in the Tianxing Domain, the Shenfeng Prefecture was too vast, and the Lingjiu Immortal Sect had always stayed in the Shenyang Domain, so it was impossible for them to know much about the affairs of other immortal domains.
Moreover.
Despite its fearsome reputation, the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation is fundamentally just a killing formation for Immortal Emperors.
This way.
It's normal that the Immortal Emperor Lingyang didn't recognize this formation.
Shen Changqing completely ignored the shock of the Lingyang Immortal Emperor. The moment he activated the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation, he unleashed the power of this killing formation to its fullest extent.
The terrifying killing intent was vast and mighty, and the murderous sword energy, capable of slaying immortals and killing gods, was even more frightening.
Seeing the overwhelming killing sword energy hurtling towards him, the Lingyang Immortal Emperor immediately summoned a crimson divine lotus, and rays of immortal light descended, making him seem impervious to all magic.
however--
The moment the sword energy approached, the Immortal Emperor Lingyang suddenly discovered that this seemingly ferocious sword energy dissipated and vanished on its own the instant it touched the immortal light.
"Fake!"
Lingyang Immortal Emperor's expression changed.
He then seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted.
"You all be careful—"
Before he could finish speaking, a late-stage Immortal Emperor was pierced through and perished within the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation.
This scene.
This enraged the Immortal Emperor Lingyang.
He had just made a move that resulted in the death of a Celestial Emperor, how could he not be furious?
But what truly enraged Lingyang Immortal Emperor was that he felt he had been tricked by Shen Changqing. If he hadn't been intimidated by the killing sword energy of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation and thus used his supreme treasure to protect himself, then it would have been impossible for his side to lose an Immortal Emperor.
But it's too late to say anything now.
A Celestial Emperor has fallen.
This is quite a blow to the Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
next moment.
Then, the Immortal Emperor Lingyang and others attacked in anger, their powerful force directly shattering the numerous sword energies, and the huge killing formation was instantly destroyed.
"Ji Yang, you all should leave first and not linger!"
With a thought, Shen Changqing sent the twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords back into the crimson array plate. Then, he stepped out of the immortal ship and charged directly at one of the late-stage Immortal Emperors.
Using the surprise attack of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation to instantly kill an Immortal Emperor is the limit of what Shen Changqing can achieve.
To be honest.
If any of the other Immortal Emperors of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect were to react in time, he would have no chance of success.
The reason why they did not attack other top-tier Immortal Emperors was that although the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation was powerful, it was still extremely difficult to instantly kill a top-tier Immortal Emperor.
Compare.
The success rate of attacking a late-stage Immortal Emperor is significantly higher.
It turns out.
Shen Changqing's thoughts were correct.
With one Immortal Emperor falling, only seven of the eight Immortal Emperors remain, which has already reduced the pressure to some extent.
Seeing Shen Changqing make his move, the Lingyang Immortal Emperor and the others were filled with killing intent. They ignored the immortal boat that had escaped into the void and directly surrounded and attacked the former.
To them.
Ji Yang and his associates are not a threat.
Once Shen Changqing is killed, what can a few ancient immortals possibly do?
It's not just Shen Changqing.
The fate of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect behind them was already predetermined.
"boom!"
Several Immortal Emperors unleashed terrifying power that shattered the void, their world-destroying might engulfing the universe. Yet, Shen Changqing remained completely unfazed by this power, showing no intention of defense whatsoever, and continued his assault on the Immortal Emperor.
A surge of Qi and blood!
After years of seclusion in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, Shen Changqing's power, when fully unleashed, was comparable to eight thousand Chaos Divine Elephants.
Such a terrifying blow instantly turned the cruel smile on the face of the late-stage Immortal Emperor into horror.
"Do not--!!!"
The moment such an attack tore through the protective immortal aura, the shadow of death engulfed him, causing despair to appear in the eyes of that late-stage Immortal Emperor.
He never imagined that the other party would go to any lengths to kill him.
After all, any normal person facing such a situation would first try to avoid or defend themselves, and would never risk their life for it.
Because of this, when faced with Shen Changqing's attack, this late-stage Immortal Emperor did not try to dodge at all. Instead, he wanted to wait for Shen Changqing to defend himself before launching his own attack.
pity.
Shen Changqing doesn't play by the rules.
By the time the Immortal Emperor realized what was happening, the killing intent was already upon him.
"boom!!!"
The terrifying bombardment, containing eight thousand chaotic divine elephants, directly caused the body of this late-stage Immortal Emperor to explode. The extremely domineering and tyrannical power turned the latter's body into blood mist, leaving no trace of his remains.
at the same time.
The attack from Lingyang Immortal Emperor and others had already arrived. A terrifying torrent of power broke through Shen Changqing's protective immortal aura, and the unstoppable attack slammed into his body.
The Daoist principles collapsed.
Skin cracked.
Even with Shen Changqing's body, which was comparable to a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact, he couldn't withstand such a level of power.
As the flesh and blood exploded, blood-stained immortal bones were exposed in the void, but soon flesh and blood began to grow back, and all injuries healed instantly.
"His physical body is comparable to a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact?!"
Lingyang Immortal Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted; he was already aware of Shen Changqing's powerful physical body.
But he never expected that the other party's physical body would be so powerful.
Such physical defense is beyond the reach of ordinary top-grade Emperor Immortal artifacts.
After all, even if it were a top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact in front of him, Immortal Emperor Lingyang believed that with his combined attack of anger with other Immortal Emperors, they could shatter it on the spot.
But now.
Shen Changqing, however, forcefully withstood the attack.
Such a defense.
They're probably all close to reaching the level of a half-step innate imperial weapon.
Even if they haven't reached that level, they're probably not that far off.
the first time.
Lingyang Immortal Emperor felt that things were getting out of his control.
Such a level of physical strength is simply astonishing.
however.
Before Lingyang Immortal Emperor could think too much, Shen Changqing endured the attack again and struck once more, this time targeting another late-stage Immortal Emperor.
Surrounded by numerous Immortal Emperors, Shen Changqing naturally had to start by attacking the weaker ones.
obviously.
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang also saw this.
The other party quickly calmed down, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Shen Changqing.
"So what if you have a powerful physical body? As long as you haven't reached the realm of immortality, you are destined to perish here today!!"
The words fell.
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang made a sudden move.
The other Immortal Emperors also calmed down instantly and began to join forces to attack Shen Changqing.
The two Immortal Emperors fell because they underestimated the strength and resources of their opponent.
However, after the fall of the two Immortal Emperors, they had figured out some of Shen Changqing's methods. As a result, it would not be so easy for the former to kill other Immortal Emperors.
……
boom!
Boom! ! !
A terrifying power raged through the chaotic void, causing billions of miles of space to collapse completely. Such an astonishing aura attracted the attention of many powerful figures.
One after another, the Immortal Emperors cast their gazes, and when they saw Shen Changqing fighting against powerful figures like the Lingyang Immortal Emperor all by himself, they were even more shocked.
"That's Lingyang, the sect master of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect!"
"Six Celestial Emperors are besieging one person—who exactly is this person?!"
Although many cultivators witnessed what happened in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, not everyone recognized Shen Changqing's identity.
Compare.
As the sect leader of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect, the Lingyang Immortal Emperor's reputation was by no means weak.
These powerful figures, who have reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, are renowned throughout the various Immortal Realms. Seeing the other party unite with several Immortal Emperors to besiege one person naturally alarmed the other Immortal Emperors.
however.
The shock wasn't limited to the other Immortal Emperors; the Immortal Emperors of the Lingjiu Immortal Sect and other groups were also greatly alarmed.
This was because Shen Changqing's power seemed inexhaustible. After a long battle, it not only did not weaken in the slightest, but instead grew stronger with each battle.
"kill!"
Shen Changqing's body was stained with blood. With a flick of his finger, the Zhuxian Sword Qi shattered the starry river. A powerful Immortal Emperor was unable to dodge in time and was directly pierced through the chest by the sword qi. The killing sword qi continuously eroded his body, causing his strength to plummet instantly.
Subsequently.
Shen Changqing took a step forward, and the space beneath his feet suddenly exploded. His right hand shattered the void and grabbed down towards the Immortal Emperor.
The latter's face paled in horror: "Sect Master, save me!!!"
"Tai Xu Zi, cease your arrogance!!"
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang roared angrily and immediately took action to stop him.
But the next moment.
Then the Dutian Array Plate appeared, the Twelve Dutian Immortal Extinction Array was deployed, and the Twelve Dutian Demon Gods attacked Lingyang Immortal Emperor together.
However, it is impossible for a Twelve Heavenly Demon Gods of this level to stop a top-tier Immortal Emperor.
but.
It was just a short delay.
Shen Changqing's right hand was already gripping the face of the Immortal Emperor. Then, with a forceful squeeze of his five fingers, the head exploded like a watermelon. Immediately afterward, a surge of power from his palm completely destroyed the body.
"What are you talking about?"
Shen Changqing's clothes were stained with blood, but a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
This scene.
This completely ignited the rage of the Immortal Emperor Lingyang.
"I will make sure you die a horrible death!!"
The fall of the first two Immortal Emperors was one thing, but it can only be said that our own precautions caught the enemy off guard.
However, the fall of this Immortal Emperor completely humiliated the Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
This battle.
If the Lingjiu Immortal Sect cannot kill the other party, then the sect's reputation will be completely ruined.
Immediately.
The Immortal Emperor Lingyang then took out a jade talisman and squeezed it hard.
"boom--"
The moment the jade talisman shattered, a terrifying phantom, majestic like a towering mountain, emerged from the void. Its awe-inspiring divine might permeated the chaos. Then, the phantom moved, and a palm descended upon Shen Changqing.
"A demigod's phantom!"
Shen Changqing let out a long roar, instantly causing his own blood to burn like raging flames. Then, a sword aura as long as a galaxy stretched across the void, slashing fiercely at the half-saint phantom.
boom! ! !
When the two forces collided, a terrifying shockwave erupted.
The sword energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword was gradually extinguished, and the remaining force of the attack from the half-saint phantom continued to fall. Shen Changqing crossed his arms to block in front of him.
moment--
Flesh and blood were obliterated.
His immortal bones shattered.
The immense power sent Shen Changqing flying, crashing through countless layers of void before finally coming to a stop.
His arms were now completely devoid of flesh and blood, with cracks covering the bones, indicating the severity of the injury he had suffered.
however.
Shen Changqing showed no fear on his face, but rather a mocking expression.
"The attack of a demigod is indeed extraordinary. It's just a pity that it was only a remnant of the demigod's power, not the real demigod himself. Otherwise, I might have really perished here!"
As he spoke, Shen Changqing conjured numerous healing pills with a thought, which he swallowed whole. His various severe injuries began to slowly repair and heal.
the other side.
The Lingjiu Immortal Sect.
When the Lingyang Immortal Emperor and the others saw this scene, their hearts sank to the bottom.
