Chapter 4025: Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court

Time passed slowly.

The battle between the two Chaos cultivators grew increasingly fierce.

Behind each ranking on the Ascension Ranking lay the lives of countless cultivators.

At the same time,

Shen Changqing’s ranking steadily rose. In less than half a month, he had climbed from thousands of places on the Ascension Ranking to tenth.

He didn’t deliberately pursue a high ranking on the Ascension Ranking.

After all, ranking depended on both strength and luck.

If he was lucky and encountered many cultivators from other realms, his ranking would rise accordingly, and vice versa.

On this day,

Shen Changqing killed another cultivator. The Jiang family token suddenly vibrated. Sensing this change, he immediately changed direction and headed straight for the location indicated by the token.

…

The Land of Chaos.

In a certain place, Jiang Yunchuan and two other members of the Jiang family were being besieged.

Their attackers were the forces of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court.

The leading youth, dressed in a light gold robe, watched the battle with a calm expression, but a closer look revealed that his gaze was fixed on Jiang Yunchuan from beginning to end.

“This person’s strength is not simple. If he were in the outside world, he might be able to break into the top twenty of the Heavenly Pride Ranking!”

Nangong Tu said calmly.

Beside him, the other cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court were also shocked upon hearing this.

The top twenty of the Heavenly Pride Ranking was an extremely high honor.

The son of the Zhenyue Demon Saint, a top genius of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court, was only ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

However—

seeing that Jiang Yunchuan was still holding his own against the siege of numerous cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court, they understood that this person’s strength was indeed extraordinary.

“If what the Holy Son says is true, then killing this person will not be so easy!” a demon immortal emperor said in a deep voice, his gaze towards Jiang Yunchuan now

showing more apprehension. Nangong Tu scoffed, “Troublesome powerhouses usually have no weaknesses, and those with weaknesses are nothing special. Those two human Immortal Emperors are precisely his weaknesses. Having weaknesses makes him much easier to deal with!” In Nangong Tu’s eyes, the other two were his opponent’s weaknesses. If he focused on dealing with those two, his opponent would be overwhelmed, and defeat would be inevitable. Moreover, Nangong Tu was waiting. Waiting for the right moment to strike. He never cared about the competition between geniuses, or other cultivators interfering. In his view, it was all about the victor prospering and the loser perishing. Winning was enough. The method of victory was unimportant. After all, his side had many cultivators; not using this advantage would be utterly foolish. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Jiang Yunchuan unleashed his full power, his sword energy crisscrossing the void, forcing the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court to retreat. However, the sheer number of cultivators on both sides made it difficult for him to truly escape. Even using his trump cards would be useless. The cultivators surrounding him also possessed powerful trump cards. In this situation, Jiang Yunchuan naturally couldn’t gain much of an advantage. “Brother Yunchuan, you are the strongest; escaping shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no need for you to die here for the two of us!” Jiang Yunwang unleashed a sword strike, its energy piercing through space, forcing back a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court. But soon, more attacks arrived, forcing him to activate his ultimate treasure for protection. As a prodigy of the Jiang family, Jiang Yunwang had many trump cards. The protective treasure he was currently activating was a top-tier innate imperial weapon. Unfortunately, activating such a treasure consumed a considerable amount of energy. Moreover, the surrounding cultivators almost all possessed innate imperial weapons, adding to the immense pressure. He knew very well that if it weren’t for the two of them holding him back, Jiang Yunchuan would definitely be able to escape. The latter remained calm in the face of this . “No rush, I’ve already sent a message to Sword Master Shen. As long as we hold out until he arrives, we’ll have a chance of victory!” As the divine thought transmission ended, Jiang Yunchuan stepped into the void, unleashing the full power of the Grass Sword Scripture. The illusory image of immortal grass shattered stars, and supreme sword intent erupted, causing the several Immortal Emperors surrounding them to freeze in fear. The next instant , tiny bloodstains appeared between the brows of several Immortal Emperors, instantly spreading across their entire bodies. “Pfft!” Blood splattered, and several Immortal Emperors instantly perished on the spot. The other cultivators were shocked by this scene, never expecting Jiang Yunchuan to suddenly unleash such powerful strength, instantly killing several of their top Immortal Emperors. But at this moment, Nangong Tu finally moved. He shattered space with a single step, seizing the opening in Jiang Yunchuan’s attack, and punched him in the head. “I’ve been waiting for you!” Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes were fierce. He should have been in a state of exhaustion, with old strength dissipated and new strength yet to arise, but now he was able to mobilize all his power to attack instantly. A sword strike cleaved the heavens! An unparalleled river of sword energy cleaved through the void, colliding with Nangong Tu’s fist. “Boom!!” The sword energy was chilling, and Nangong Tu’s body trembled, unable to stop himself from retreating. His once unharmed fist now bore a deep, bone-revealing wound. Just a hair’s breadth away from severing his entire hand. “To be able to break my physical body, your strength is indeed not simple!” Nangong Tu looked at his injuries, his face ashen, his eyes filled with surprise and intense killing intent as he looked at Jiang Yunchuan. He had thought that by timing his attack correctly, he could kill him with a single blow. Unexpectedly, not only had he failed to kill his opponent, but he himself had been injured.

“A schemer who strikes in the shadows, it seems the geniuses of the outer realms are nothing special!”

Jiang Yunchuan looked at his opponent with a mocking gaze, which enraged Nangong Tu.

“Do you really think this Holy Son fears you!”

Nangong Tu stepped into the void, his powerful blood energy suppressing the heavens, and a bronze mace appeared in his hand, instantly pressing down on Jiang Yunchuan.

The latter’s expression remained unchanged, blocking with his longsword.

But the next instant,

Jiang Yunchuan’s expression changed.

The power emanating from the bronze mace was astonishing, as if he was not facing a cultivator, but the immense power to confront an entire boundless world.

In that instant, Jiang Yunchuan groaned, the ground beneath his feet caved in, his arm trembled violently, and a strong, tingling sensation followed.

“A supreme divine weapon!”

His face turned grim.

Clearly, the bronze mace in Nangong Tu’s hand was a top-tier supreme divine weapon.

Just then, Nangong Tu’s offensive arrived again. His bronze mace pierced the air, his immortal energy surging like a rainbow; each strike was powerful and heavy, putting considerable pressure on Jiang Yunchuan.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t fear Nangong Tu.

But now was different.

After many fierce battles, Jiang Yunchuan was already quite exhausted.

Facing a powerhouse of Nangong Tu’s caliber now, he would inevitably show signs of weakness over time.

“This person can contend with the Holy Son; his strength is indeed extraordinary!”

The other cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court looked at Jiang Yunchuan with even more shock upon seeing this.

Nangong Tu, as one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court, needed no further explanation of his strength. For

an outer realm cultivator to contend with him was certainly not to be underestimated.

But at that very moment, a purple-clad cultivator tore through the void, immediately attracting the attention of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court cultivators.

“A cultivator from another realm dares to come here? He’s courting death!”

A top-tier Immortal Emperor’s face twisted in a

ferocious grin as he unleashed a punch at Shen Changqing. Shen Changqing’s eyes remained unchanged; he simply threw a punch in return. The instant their fists collided, the Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court froze, then his body exploded, scattering blood and flesh. This

sudden turn of events

drastically changed the expressions of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court cultivators.

To kill a top-tier Immortal Emperor with a single punch—such power was terrifying.

Although that Immortal Emperor’s strength wasn’t considered outstanding among all the top-tier Immortal Emperors, he was still a top-tier Immortal Emperor, just one step away from achieving immortality.

To kill him with a single punch—such power was truly terrifying.

“Kill him!”

Immediately, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court roared. Among the cultivators surrounding Jiang Yunwang, seven Immortal Emperors broke away from the battlefield and directly attacked Shen Changqing.

Seven Immortal Emperors!

Seven Innate Emperor Weapons!

The combined power unleashed was something even the strongest on the Prodigy Ranking might not be able to withstand.

However,

the instant these seven Immortal Emperors made their move, Shen Changqing’s physical body and blood surged, his True Martial Dao overwhelming heaven and earth. The moment his massive fist struck down, all the Innate Emperor Weapons shattered instantly.

“Boom!!!”

The unstoppable force arrived, and the seven Immortal Emperors, their expressions filled with fear, had no chance to resist and were directly blasted to death on the spot.

Such a commotion caused the scene to suddenly fall silent.

Even Jiang Yunchuan and Nangong Tu temporarily stopped and retreated.

“Sword Master Shen!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Yunchuan’s expression immediately relaxed.

On the other side,

Nangong Tu looked at the newcomer with a gloomy face: “Who are you? This Holy Son does not kill nameless nobodies!”

Although the other party had killed seven top Immortal Emperors with a single punch, demonstrating astonishing strength, he was not afraid.

With dozens of Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Court gathered here, and himself ranked thirteenth on the Prodigy Ranking, how could he fear the other party?

“Remember, the one who will kill you is Shen Changqing!”

Shen Changqing slowly spoke, and at the same time, the Nine-Star Mace suddenly appeared, shattering space as it smashed down towards Nangong Tu.

“So you are the Xuan Tian Sword Master… Very well, then let this Holy Son see just how powerful the number one prodigy of the Outer Realms truly is!!”

Nangong Tu roared, fully activating his Demon Saint bloodline, and terrifying blood energy burst forth from his body, manifesting a phantom of a peerless demon in the void, its ancient and savage aura causing hearts to tremble.

He stood on the void, swinging the bronze mace with all his might, determined to kill Shen Changqing on the spot.

However—

the moment the two maces collided, Nangong Tu’s expression changed.

With a crisp sound, the bronze mace in his hand shattered instantly before his horrified eyes, not even lasting a breath.
