Chapter 3757 A Sword Swung Towards the Heavenly Dao Immortal City

“Boom!!”

A white-robed half-saint arrived through the air, his world-destroying immortal light instantly piercing through Shen Changqing’s body.

His physical body, having achieved sainthood, was as fragile as paper before such power, easily pierced.

The next instant.

Golden immortal blood splattered.

But this injury, barely a breath away, healed itself, the remaining power of the Great Dao seemingly completely erased by an extremely mysterious force. This scene

caused

the white-robed half-saint’s pupils to shrink.

“Impossible!!”

His furious attack, capable of killing even a half-saint, was now ineffective against an Immortal Emperor; how could he not be alarmed?

But before the white-robed half-saint could be too shocked, a blood-red light of annihilation severed the Great Dao River, the deadly threat causing his expression to change drastically. He then gritted his teeth and summoned the Longevity Immortal Tablet to defend.

“Boom—”

The Longevity Immortal Stele, tempered for countless years, couldn’t even withstand a single breath before the Soul-Destroying Sword, instantly shattering into pieces.

The white-robed half-saint screamed in agony and perished on the spot.

“Kill!”

After slaying the white-robed half-saint, Shen Changqing didn’t stop, frantically throwing Longevity Pills into his mouth as if they were free, forcibly refining and consuming them. An

extremely terrifying torrent of immortal power erupted from his body, causing the nine directions of his physical universe to tremble violently.

Immediately afterward, the

torrent of immortal power was unleashed. The

World-Destroying Sword Light cleaved through billions of miles of sky.

Before such a supreme treasure, even a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint would die instantly upon contact. With each swing of Shen Changqing’s sword, a half-saint would inevitably succumb to bloodshed.

But similarly,

attacks from other half-saints also struck Shen Changqing, shattering his body.

This means that Shen Changqing had already achieved physical sainthood, his body comparable to a half-saint, and he had also received an opportunity from the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele. Otherwise, an attack from such a half-saint would have been enough to kill him on the spot.

The other half-saints were also horrified upon seeing this.

“Immune to all laws!”

“This is a sign of the perfected Innate Immortal Body!!”

An ancient half-saint’s expression was gloomy, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The Innate Immortal Body is difficult to cultivate; many cultivators spend their entire lives struggling even to reach the minor stage, let alone the major stage.

However,

once the Innate Immortal Body is perfected, it is a heaven-defying existence.

Impervious to all laws!

Although this statement may be an exaggeration, it is by no means trivial.

After the Innate Immortal Body is perfected, even a half-saint can hardly leave many wounds on such a body, and the former’s recovery ability is astonishing.

To put it bluntly,

unless one can instantly kill a perfected Innate Immortal Body,

otherwise,

if it really comes down to attrition, it is a pipe dream to outlast the opponent.

“So what if he’s achieved a perfected Immortal Body! He’s just an Immortal Emperor after all. We, a group of many Half-Saints, are here. Do we really fear a mere Immortal Emperor?!

Kill this brat, seize his treasure, and we too will have a chance to become Saints!!”

The Azure-Robed Half-Saint Luo Qingchen roared angrily, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Shen Changqing.

As a member of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, Luo Qingchen naturally couldn’t tolerate the existence of such a monstrous talent as Shen Changqing.

To be honest,

the Great Wilderness Immortal Court had a considerable grudge against him.

Moreover—   killing

a prodigy doesn’t require grudges or karma.   Besides, the treasure in Shen Changqing’s possession was incredibly tempting to Luo Qingchen; he had to obtain it.   With the Great Wilderness Immortal Court backing him, Luo Qingchen wasn’t worried about other forces attacking him.   However,   despite this,   Luo Qingchen didn’t act first. Instead, he encouraged the other Half-Saints to attack. When Shen Changqing killed the other Half-Saints, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.   ”Now!!   ” “Die!”   With a wave of his hand, Luo Qingchen unleashed a dark sword light that cleaved through the void. He had perfectly timed this attack, striking just as Shen Changqing’s old power dissipated and new power was yet to arise.   Just as the sword light was about to touch Shen Changqing, before Luo Qingchen could even smile, he saw the opponent’s figure vanish abruptly, replaced by a mysterious ancient tower appearing in the void.   ”Boom!!!”   This attack, containing the full power of a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint, struck the mysterious ancient tower, which didn’t even tremble, as if a gentle breeze had passed by.   Immediately afterward ,   attacks from the other Half-Saints arrived.   Numerous forces bombarded the mysterious ancient tower, as if merely tickling it.   This sight caused Luo Qingchen’s pupils to shrink sharply.   What kind of supreme treasure was this? It   could actually block his full-force attack!!   Not only was Luo Qingchen shocked, but the other Half-Saints were also horrified.   With the Crimson Immortal Sword in front and the mysterious ancient tower behind, where did a Celestial Emperor obtain so many supreme treasures?   However,   before they could fully register their shock, the mysterious ancient tower vanished abruptly, and Shen Changqing reappeared. His blood-red sword light flashed, instantly engulfing everything within Luo Qingchen’s sight.   The aura of death filled the Great Wilderness Immortal Court’s ancestor with horror. He summoned a bronze mirror, but the treasure shattered instantly. The blood-red sword light, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, pierced through his body. An   aura of annihilation erupted, unbearable even for a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint.   In an instant,   Luo Qingchen perished on the spot.   Having slain this Great Wilderness Immortal Court ancestor, Shen Changqing remained unfazed. He summoned the Seven Profound Divine Tower in one hand and wielded the Soul-Destroying Sword in the other. The Longevity Elixir he had accumulated over the years was now fully at work.   Moreover,   Shen Changqing discovered that his recovery ability was dozens of times stronger than before.   With every breath, a massive amount of immortal energy surged in, constantly replenishing his depleted reserves.   This advantage of a fully formed immortal body fueled his burning fighting spirit.

“Boom—”

Crimson sword energy crisscrossed the void as semi-saints from various forces rushed forward one after another, seemingly disregarding life and death.

With such an opportunity before them,

what did life and death matter?

Whether it was the Seven Profound Divine Tower or the Soul-Destroying Sword, both were irresistible temptations for the other semi-saints.

Obtaining just one of these treasures would be enough to greatly increase their strength, making it possible not only to overcome the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, but even to break through to the Saint realm.

Although semi-saints attained immortality, they were still threatened by the Five

Decays of Heaven and Man. If they couldn’t overcome them, they would either perish or eke out a miserable existence, living for countless eons—a situation no different from death.

Therefore,

now that the opportunity was before them, they naturally wanted to seize it.

Most importantly, Shen Changqing was merely an Immortal Emperor. With his limited resources, how long could he activate such a treasure? Once his power was exhausted, this treasure would ultimately belong to them.

…

On this day, the Divine Sun Domain trembled, the Great Dao of Immortality continuously fell, and strange phenomena covered everything, causing many cultivators to instinctively hold their breath.

“Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of the Profound Heaven—”

Inside the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor held his breath, watching the battle outside the city. There, terrifying Daoist auras suppressed everything, and numerous half-saints’ blood splattered in the void.

The terrifying power contained within made even him feel a chill.   This

level of power was far beyond his ability to contend with.   The Great Yi Immortal Emperor understood this.   He never imagined that Shen Changqing could reach this point.   That ant from the microcosm back then had reached such a state today.   Although he himself was ninth on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele—no, now it should be tenth—   whether ninth or tenth, he was still somewhat lacking compared to half-saints, let alone someone like Shen Changqing, who had defied the odds to defeat a nine-tribulation half-saint, and not just one.   Even if the opponent could only achieve this with the power of a supreme treasure, it was enough to demonstrate the former’s terrifying strength.   After all—   not everyone who possesses a supreme treasure can defeat a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.   For most cultivators, they don’t even have the qualifications to directly face a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint.   However,   looking at the supreme treasure in Shen Changqing’s hand, a burning light appeared in the eyes of the Great Yi Immortal Emperor. If he could obtain such a treasure, he might be able to wield such power.   ”The myriad universes…”   the Great Yi Immortal Emperor murmured to himself, then he gave Shen Changqing a deep look, and some thoughts had already formed in his mind.   On the other side,   one Half-Saint after another bled.   Shen Changqing’s purple Daoist robe was stained with blood, having suffered countless injuries. Fortunately, his Primordial Immortal Body had recovered remarkably well after reaching its peak, which was why he had been able to hold on until now.   Otherwise, he would have already perished on the spot.   However,   even so,   Shen Changqing was gradually reaching his limit.   His immortal blood was depleted,   and his immortal power was almost gone.   Even the Longevity Profound Pills were reduced to only one or two pills.   ”It’s about time to retreat!”   This thought flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, causing his previously boiling fighting spirit to cool down slightly. But the next moment, he seemed to catch something in the corner of his eye, and a chilling aura suddenly appeared.   In an instant, his figure disappeared, and all the attacks of the half-saints landed on the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   In that instant,   Shen Changqing attacked again, and the Soul-Destroying Sword slashed out with a roar, but this time the target was not the other half-saints, but the Heavenly Dao Immortal City.   This power contained enough to kill a nine-tribulation half-saint, and even the Great Dao restrictions of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City could not withstand it. Many of the restrictions crumbled inch by inch.   ”Not good!”   A strong warning surged from the bottom of his heart, and the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s expression changed drastically.   In an instant,   he turned and ran.   But unfortunately, the Great Yi Immortal Emperor’s movements were too slow.   In the instant he made a move, the Annihilation Sword Qi had already struck down, causing this top genius of the Divine Sun Immortal Court to perish on the spot.   After slaying the Great Yi Immortal Emperor, Shen Changqing activated the Void-Breaking Talisman, intending to leave immediately.   However—   just as he was about to depart, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the heavens. An unparalleled figure clad in a black imperial robe slowly strode through the air, his body standing in the void, yet giving off an aura of towering grandeur, like a god supporting the heavens.   The Great Dao trembled.   The void crumbled.   The Three Thousand Great Daos seemed to bow before him, endless Daoist radiance swirling around him.   This terrifying power suppressed all the ancient semi-saints, causing their hearts to tremble violently, their eyes filled with horror as they gazed at that figure.
