Chapter 3805 Guanlan Immortal Emperor

“Possession!”

The moment the Heavenly Punishment power was triggered, Shen Changqing also sensed it, looking out into the void. His eyes seemed to pierce through everything, revealing the scene of that secret realm.

When he bestowed the treasure upon Xiao Ling, it contained three of his own powers.

These powers

were not only capable of killing a half-step Immortal Emperor, but even a wisp of divine thought was enough to suppress the soul of an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

The reason for doing this

was to prevent possession.

After all, the probability of any genius being targeted by other powerful figures is not small.

Keeping a backup plan

provides extra protection.

Of course,

it was also because Xiao Ling’s talent was strong enough to earn Shen Changqing’s favor that he left a contingency plan to protect him.

However, what Shen Changqing did not expect was that this contingency plan would be triggered this time.

Through the moment the Heavenly Punishment power was activated, he was also able to glimpse some of the scene there.

Shen Changqing was not too surprised that an Immortal Emperor’s soul was hidden in a half-saint secret realm.

This kind of secret realm…

All sorts of dangers lurk within.

Of the more than ten thousand disciples of the Seven Profound Dao Sect who have entered, how many will emerge alive is unknown.

But such is the nature of the struggle for opportunity.

Moreover, this journey to the Semi-Saint Secret Realm was entirely their own choice, and the other disciples understood the dangers and consequences involved.

Shaking his head,

Shen Changqing ignored the matter.

…

Ten years later.

The secret realm trembled.

All those who entered, regardless of their location, were swept away by a force and instantly thrown out of the secret realm.

Meanwhile.

Outside the secret realm.

Many cultivators waited there, their expressions shifting slightly upon witnessing this scene.

“They’re out!”

“I wonder who will obtain the opportunity this time!”

The other cultivators looked at the figures emerging from the secret realm with subtle expressions.

At the same time.

Yang Daoxu stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Seven Profound Dao Sect cultivators emerge one by one, a faint smile on his face.

Currently, quite a few disciples have emerged alive from the secret realm, which is undoubtedly good news for the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Especially among the many disciples, he saw Xiao Ling, Tantai Yun, and Gu Qingfeng.

This scene

finally put Yang Daoxu’s mind at ease.

Thankfully,

none of them had encountered any problems.

Otherwise, the loss to the Seven Profound Dao Sect would have been quite significant.

Xiao Ling, needless to say, was

a prodigy who could ascend the Immortal King Stele, destined to become a pillar of the Seven Profound Dao Sect in the future.

Although Tantai Yun was somewhat lacking, he had still survived the Ancient Tribulation, making him quite remarkable.

As for Gu Qingfeng and the others, they were prodigies who ascended from the lower realm, and were also the sect master’s personal disciples. If they had truly perished in the Half-Saint Secret Realm, he would have been implicated.

Therefore ,

seeing them all emerge safely, Yang Daoxu naturally felt relieved.

Just then,

a cultivator suddenly made a move, tearing through the void with a large hand, directly suppressing Gu Qingfeng.

This sudden change caused the expressions of the other cultivators to change drastically.

At the same time…

Yang Daoxu took a step forward and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

The two forces collided in the void, shattering space inch by inch. Yang Daoxu grunted, the void beneath his feet suddenly exploding, his blood and qi surging violently, a metallic taste rising in his throat, which he forcefully suppressed.

“Who dares to attack a disciple of my Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

Yang Daoxu was somewhat shocked, but his expression remained icy.

In the void

, a Celestial Emperor appeared, glancing indifferently at Yang Daoxu, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“A mere initial-stage Celestial Emperor dares to be so insolent before me. Hand over this brat, and you might have a chance to live. Otherwise, after today, your Seven Profound Dao Sect will have no reason to exist.

My Divine Firmament Pavilion is not something you can contend with!”

The Guanlan Celestial Emperor stood with his hands behind his back in the void, showing no regard for Yang Daoxu or the so-called Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Although he had heard of the latter, he knew little about it, only that it was a Celestial Emperor force that had only risen a little over a million years ago.

Within Taiyuan Prefecture, there were countless forces at the Immortal Emperor level.

His own Shenxiao Pavilion was one of the nine major forces in Taiyuan Prefecture, its strength naturally far surpassing that of ordinary Immortal Emperor forces.

As for Yang Daoxu’s strength, Immortal Emperor Guanlan had witnessed it firsthand. He

was merely a beginner Immortal Emperor!

As the Vice Pavilion Master of Shenxiao Pavilion, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

That palm strike just now hadn’t even required much of his power.

Otherwise,

a mere beginner Immortal Emperor wouldn’t have been qualified to withstand it.

Yang Daoxu’s face darkened: “Shenxiao Pavilion…”

“Stubborn fool!”

Seeing that Yang Daoxu hadn’t made a move, Immortal Emperor Guanlan was too lazy to waste any more words. He took a step forward, unleashing the aura of a peak Immortal Emperor, instantly suppressing the Seven Profound Dao Sect.

Nine Immortal Emperor cosmic phantoms stretched across the sky, their powerful aura causing other cultivators to tremble in fear.

Even in the Star Luo Immortal Domain, peak Immortal Emperor experts were not to be underestimated.

Ultimately,

in this era, most immortals are unlikely to emerge.

Among those who have reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor level, only half-saints are not yet present, and those truly capable of contending with them are extremely rare.

It’s over!

This was the only thought in their minds.

Many forces present had heard of the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but very few truly knew its true strength.

In the eyes of most cultivators, it was merely an ordinary Immortal Emperor force.

However…

Even among Immortal Emperor forces, there are differences.

As a top power in Taiyuan Prefecture, the Divine Firmament Pavilion’s foundation is naturally unmatched by ordinary Immortal Emperor sects.

At this moment, with Immortal Emperor Guanlan’s furious attack, the fate of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was sealed.

However—

the instant Immortal Emperor Guanlan made his move, the void hummed, and a terrifying aura descended, time seemingly freezing. All the cultivators looked up in horror, their expressions filled with shock.

There,

a cultivator slowly appeared, his long, blood-red hair and dark red eyes as cold and piercing as an ancient, icy pool.

“Half…half-Saint!!!”

Immortal Emperor Guanlan’s pupils constricted sharply, his arrogant disdain vanishing, replaced by utter terror.

Faced with such an aura, his pride and joy seemed utterly weak.

Immortal Emperor Guanlan wanted to beg for mercy, but Blood River gave him no chance, pressing down with a single palm strike. The body of this Vice Pavilion Master of the Divine Firmament Pavilion instantly shattered, leaving only a wisp of his soul standing frozen in place.

The next instant.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the divine soul dissipated.

Then.

Blood River’s figure also vanished.

The semi-saint’s pressure dissipated, but none of the cultivators made a move.

The scene of Guanlan Immortal Emperor’s demise still replayed in their minds.

A top-tier Immortal Emperor!

Easily annihilated like an ant.

Such strength was terrifying.

Many cultivators had only heard that semi-saints were strong and could live long lives, but those who had actually witnessed a semi-saint’s attack were few and far between.

Now.

A semi-saint had easily annihilated a top-tier Immortal Emperor.

Only at this moment did they truly understand what a long-lived semi-saint was.

Looking at the Divine Firmament Pavilion’s side, all the cultivators were deathly pale. The surviving cultivators dared not utter a word and turned to leave.

Yang Daoxu glanced at the Divine Firmament Pavilion’s side, but did not make a move. Instead, he led the disciples of the Seven Profound Dao Sect away.

Only after both sides had left was the silence broken.

“Hiss, Immortal Emperor Guanlan is dead!”

“What was the origin of that half-saint? Could he be related to the Seven Profound Dao Sect?”

“It’s probably almost certain—”

An Immortal Emperor took a deep breath, suppressing his shock.

Now, anyone with eyes could see that the half-saint most likely came from the Seven Profound Dao Sect; otherwise, why would they act at this time?

Of course,

this was just speculation, without any substantial proof.

But it was almost certain.

If this half-saint truly came from the Seven Profound Dao Sect, then they would have to reassess the sect’s strength.

With a half-saint in charge, their power was top-tier throughout the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.

Even the so-called nine major powers currently on the surface didn’t actually have any half-saints.

Of course,

regardless of the truth, this matter wouldn’t end so simply.

The fall of a top-tier Immortal Emperor would inevitably trigger action from the Divine Firmament Pavilion.

And the other powerful figures who wanted to act secretly were secretly relieved.

Fortunately…

They didn’t make a move.

Otherwise,

the death today wouldn’t just be a simple case of Guanlan Immortal Emperor.

…

In the vast void, the immortal boat traversed.

Yang Daoxu summoned Gu Qingfeng and asked, “Elder Gu, what is the reason for Shenxiao Pavilion’s attack on you this time?”

“That semi-saint secret realm is no ordinary secret realm, but the tomb of a semi-saint. I obtained the semi-saint’s corpse from it, which was seen by the cultivators of Shenxiao Pavilion, hence this trouble!”

Gu Qingfeng’s expression was calm, without any intention of concealing anything.

Upon hearing this,

Yang Daoxu’s expression changed slightly.

A semi-saint’s corpse!

At this moment, all his doubts were resolved.

No wonder Shenxiao Pavilion couldn’t help but take action directly. A semi-saint’s corpse is extraordinary in itself, representing a considerable opportunity.

Not to mention Shenxiao Pavilion, other forces would also find it difficult to resist the temptation if they knew.

Fortunately ,

this time there was the Blood River protecting him, otherwise, a single Guanlan Immortal Emperor would have been enough to suppress his entire side.

The strength of those top-tier Immortal Emperors was beyond his ability to contend with.

From their previous exchange, Yang Daoxu had already understood the vast difference in their abilities.

But there was nothing he could do.

Breaking through each step of the Immortal Emperor realm was no easy feat.

Having reached this level millions of years ago, Yang Daoxu had only just begun to open his first Five Immortal Universe; the second Five Immortal Universe was still a distant dream, let alone achieving the perfection of the Five Immortal Universes, opening other inner universes, or reaching the mid-stage or even higher levels of Immortal Emperor.

Despite this,

Yang Daoxu wasn’t in a hurry.

Cultivation at this level, without a great stroke of luck, could only be done step by step; being impatient was useless and might even have the opposite effect.
