Chapter 4014: The Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Flower

“Kill him!”

Qin Lan’s eyes flashed with killing intent. He struck first, unleashing a top-tier Emperor Immortal weapon resembling a spear. Its sharp, cold light seemed capable of piercing the heavens, aiming directly for Shen Changqing’s vital point.

The attack came with incredible speed, but Shen Changqing didn’t even lift his eyelids. His right hand reached out and, as if striking after the enemy, caught the spear tip in his grasp.

With a powerful squeeze,

the spear tip shattered instantly.

The terrifying recoil caused Qin Lan’s hand holding the spear to split open, blood seemingly flowing.

This scene

caused Qin Lan’s pupils to shrink sharply, and also shocked the other geniuses of the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands.

“He can destroy a top-grade Emperor Immortal weapon with his bare hands. This boy has indeed achieved physical sainthood!”

Qin Lan’s expression showed a hint of horror. Although he had heard of the rumors of physical sainthood, he had never actually witnessed it, and ultimately could not comprehend the power of this level.

Now—

Shen Changqing destroyed a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact with his bare hands, without leaving a single scratch. This truly showed Qin Lan what it meant to achieve physical sainthood.

Such a physical body!

Comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon.

He knew very well

that if he couldn’t break through its physical defenses, killing it would be a pipe dream.

“So what if he’s achieved physical sainthood? This brat will surely perish here today!”

A powerful figure from the Great Huang Immortal Court shouted fiercely. Immediately, an ancient tower was summoned, and terrifying power suppressing the galaxy descended, violently distorting space as if it would collapse at any moment.

It should be noted

that this place was an ancient immortal mountain formed from the remnants of a Dao Venerable, retaining supreme Daoist essence. The space here was far more stable than the outside world.

Even a full-force attack from an ordinary Immortal Emperor would hardly shake the space in the slightest.

Now,

the opponent’s single strike distorted space, demonstrating the sheer power of this force.

“A supreme divine weapon!”

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly. He could immediately recognize the origin of the ancient tower; its pure, unyielding power was a unique characteristic of supreme divine weapons.

However,

Shen Changqing was not afraid.

He threw a punch, colliding heavily with the ancient tower, a terrifying shockwave spreading outwards from both.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing’s feet sank slightly, and the ancient tower was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow.

“Impossible!!”

The pupils of the powerful figure from the Great Yan Immortal Court contracted violently, his face filled with disbelief. If the fact that the opponent crushed a top-grade Emperor Immortal artifact with a single palm strike wasn’t enough to shock him, then the fact that the opponent had sent

the ancient tower flying with a single punch had completely shattered his resolve. This ancient tower was a supreme divine weapon of the Great Yan Immortal Court, its power unparalleled. Even ordinary half-saints wouldn’t dare to confront it head-on. Now, Shen Changqing had sent it flying with a single punch; how could the opponent’s strength not be terrifying? The expressions of the powerful figures from other forces also changed upon seeing this scene. The physical body can withstand supreme divine weapons! The sheer power of achieving sainthood through physical strength once again redefined their understanding. However— the killing intent in everyone’s hearts was now burning even brighter. Such a monstrous talent! He must die! Otherwise, he will surely become a great threat. In that instant, the experts from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands no longer hesitated, and attacked simultaneously, unleashing numerous supreme divine weapons to bombard Shen Changqing. Supreme divine weapons were unheard of for other cultivators. But for cultivators from top forces, supreme divine weapons were not so unattainable. Like this time. The Crimson Jade Palace opened. Although not every cultivator from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands possessed a supreme divine weapon, there were quite a few who could truly wield one. Each of these supreme divine weapons was equivalent to a Primordial Emperor Weapon. Now, with them all attacking, their power was astonishing. However— Shen Changqing was not afraid. With a thought, he directly summoned the Nine-Star Mace, sweeping it out. Any supreme divine weapon it touched instantly exploded. The ultimate power of the Nine Directions Star River was simply too much for ordinary supreme divine weapons to withstand. Before the other cultivators could be shocked, Shen Changqing took a step forward, and the Nine-Star Mace descended upon the powerful figure from the Great Huang Immortal Court. The latter looked terrified and hurriedly activated his ancient tower to protect himself, but that treasure, comparable to a Primordial Emperor Weapon, was like paper before the Nine-Star Mace, shattering completely in less than a breath. The remaining force of the attack turned the opponent into mincemeat in an instant, his soul completely shattered. A Celestial Emperor had fallen. Shen Changqing did not stop there; in the next instant, he was already attacking Qin Lan. “Not good!!!” The Li Yang King of the Eternal Immortal Court was horrified. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He could only use his bronze spear to block, hoping to withstand the attack with the power of a supreme divine weapon. But alas. In just one exchange , the bronze spear shattered in two, and the Nine-Star Mace crashed down on Qin Lan’s head in his despair. “Pfft!” The Li Yang King of the Eternal Immortal Court also perished instantly. In less than a moment, two top Immortal Emperors had fallen, leaving the others terrified. They never expected Shen Changqing’s strength to be so formidable, especially since he possessed a top-tier supreme divine weapon. The moment the Nine-Star Mace appeared, the remaining cultivators understood that there was absolutely no chance of victory in this battle. Therefore, the moment Qin Lan fell, they turned and fled without hesitation. “Trying to leave now? Too late!” Shen Changqing wouldn’t give them a chance to escape. This was an ancient immortal mountain transformed from a Dao Venerable, suppressed by the Dao Venerable’s Great Dao everywhere. The pressure on cultivators attempting to traverse the void here was naturally greatly increased. Therefore, their movements would be correspondingly slowed down. In comparison…

Shen Changqing’s physical advantages meant he would bear significantly less pressure.

Therefore,

before the other cultivators could even react, Shen Changqing had already caught up. Under the Nine Star Mace, even a so-called Immortal Emperor at the pinnacle of cultivation was nothing more than an ant.

One mace, one kill!

There was absolutely no room for resistance.

“Sword Master Shen, spare my life! If you spare my life, I swear I will never oppose you again—”

Seeing himself trapped in a desperate situation, Crane Heart Daoist’s face was filled with terror as he hurriedly tried to beg for mercy.

But his response was a strike from the Nine Star Mace.

“Boom!”

This Immortal Emperor of the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect didn’t even have time to scream before being blasted to death on the spot by such power.

Shen Changqing remained indifferent, continuing his pursuit of the other cultivators.

“Shen Changqing… my Lingpo Immortal Sect will not let you go!”

“The Lingxu Holy Land will fight you to the death—”

“Spare us!”

Some roared and threatened, some begged for mercy in despair, but Shen Changqing showed no mercy. In less than a moment, all the cultivators from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands had perished.

A large amount of blood flowed down, staining the earth.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing collected all the Supreme Divine Weapons.

“Thirteen Supreme Divine Weapons, but unfortunately five are damaged!”

He looked at the Supreme Divine Weapons in his hand and shook his head slightly.

These Supreme Divine Weapons were not particularly strong, at most equivalent to second or third-grade Innate Emperor Weapons.

If they were to be compared, they might not even be able to compare to the Bronze Giant Axe.

However,

for other cultivators, this level of Supreme Divine Weapon was already a dimensional reduction attack.

After all, Supreme Divine Weapons were different from Innate Emperor Weapons; their power belonged to themselves. If they were comparable to the level of Innate Emperor Weapons, then other Immortal Emperors would have almost no chance of resisting them.

Unless—

the opponent also possesses an ultimate divine weapon.

Or,

they have achieved physical sainthood.

Otherwise,

it’s utterly impossible to contend with an ultimate divine weapon.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing searched the area again, and soon all the storage rings were in his hands.

He wouldn’t bother looking at other Immortal Emperor storage rings.

But these belonged to the geniuses of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, so Shen Changqing had to examine them carefully.

These top-tier forces had abundant resources; there was no guarantee that their storage rings wouldn’t contain some top-tier treasures.

Sure enough,

as Shen Changqing broke the restrictions on the storage rings, he immediately found over a thousand top-grade immortal stones, as well as some rare and precious materials at the Immortal Emperor/Half-Saint level.

“This trip was worthwhile!”

Shen Changqing was naturally satisfied with this harvest.

Then,

he glanced at the numerous corpses, casually made a hand seal, and summoned immortal fire to incinerate them completely.

“The number of cultivators from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands who have truly entered the Crimson Jade Palace is limited. After this wave of killings, there probably won’t be many left!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

A single Crimson Jade Token allows only one person to enter. Even the Jidu Jiang family only possesses three or four Crimson Jade Tokens, demonstrating their rarity.

Even if the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands are lucky enough to obtain a few more, that’s the limit.

In total,

so far,

these forces have lost approximately sixty or seventy Immortal Emperors at his hands.

If this news were to spread, the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands would surely go crazy.

However,

Shen Changqing didn’t care. Since

he had already offended them, offending a few more would

n’t matter. Rather than worrying so much, it was better to be decisive.

Finally,

Shen Changqing looked at the purple immortal flower.

With his limited knowledge, he couldn’t discern what kind of rare treasure the purple immortal flower was, but he could sense that it wasn’t yet fully mature.

This feeling naturally arose when he wanted to pick it.

Unsurprisingly,

this was probably why Qin Lan and the other cultivators hadn’t made a move.

But just then,

Jiu Ye’s voice appeared again.

“The Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Flower, this thing is useful to me!”

“What is this Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Flower that Senior spoke of?”

Shen Changqing’s expression faltered slightly. If it could affect Jiu Ye, then this rare treasure seemed more complex than he had initially thought.

While he was secretly communicating with it through divine sense, Jiu Ye’s voice echoed in his sea of consciousness once more.

“The Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Flower is a rare and precious material formed from the dissipated divine soul power of a Dao Venerable or higher cultivator who has fallen.

It is nurtured by the profound workings of heaven and earth. In reality, it has little use. However, once the Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Flower matures and condenses into the Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Fruit, it becomes entirely different.

The latter can refine a cultivator’s divine soul and even repair any deficiencies, possessing unparalleled wonders.

However… the Great Dao Soul-Nourishing Fruit is of extremely high quality; ordinary cultivators would find it harmful rather than beneficial. To truly consume this, one must at least reach the Saint realm!”
