Chapter 3338: Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor’s Shock

“The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor is about to lose!”

Inside the Heavenly Demon Immortal City, Jiang Linyuan shook his head upon seeing this.

In his view, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s defeat

in this battle

was a foregone conclusion.

It was undeniable that

the opponent, a powerhouse vying for the top ten spots on the Immortal Emperor Monument, was truly astonishing.

Even within the entire Hidden Edge Sword Sect, no one within the Immortal Emperor realm could rival him.

Beings of this caliber had practically reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, barely a hair’s breadth away from Semi-Saint status.

Yet—

even so,

the opponent was still crushed by the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord. It was

the latter’s strength

that truly astonished Jiang Linyuan.

“With a body comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor, that magical power, if I’m not mistaken, must be a True Dragon Technique!”

“Such a pinnacle of magical power, even a Semi-Saint might not be able to master, yet wielded by an Immortal Emperor, it’s clear he’s the reincarnation of an ancient being!”

Jiang Linyuan pondered.

With the lingering Daoist aura of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land before him, the True Dragon’s magic behind him, and this terrifying physical strength—none of these could be possessed by an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

All these coincidences combined made it no coincidence.

Therefore,

Jiang Linyuan was certain that

the opponent must be the reincarnation of an ancient master.

Elsewhere,

the other immortals also watched the battle.

Everyone understood that

if the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor had no backup plan, this battle was doomed to failure.

In the void,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s body was now cracked, his imperial robe torn and stained with blood. His former imperial majesty had vanished completely.

Watching the raging immortal fire rise from thin air and the Chaos Divine Phoenix spawn from it, its massive body spreading its wings and soaring, the terrifying aura made his breath catch.

Immediately,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor, with a divine thought, suddenly summoned his protective treasure. The palm-sized treasure instantly transformed into an immortal seal as vast as a mountain.

“Boom!”

The Immortal Seal fell, and the Chaos Divine Phoenix’s body disintegrated, dispersing into a cloud of immortal fire.

Immediately afterwards,

the Immortal Seal, carrying immense power, descended upon Shen Changqing, suppressing him.

The terrifying pressure made him sense a power beyond that of an Immortal Emperor, and his expression suddenly darkened.

“Innate Imperial Weapon!”

Clearly,

this was the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s trump card.

A complete Innate Imperial Weapon!

With his current cultivation, aspiring to the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor, and possessing a complete Innate Imperial Weapon, the combined power unleashed was terrifying.

However—

even so—

Shen Changqing remained undaunted.

Deep within the pupil of his left eye, a golden Dao pattern was visible. A terrifying force erupted from it, fiercely impacting the Immortal Seal.

Even so, it only caused the Seal to tremble slightly, unable to truly block the blow.

The next moment.

Shen Changqing took a step forward, a terrifying sword force emanating from him. With a wave of his hand, a blood-red sword energy of annihilation emanated. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Scripture, now truly elevated to the level of a Semi-Saint divine power, now unleashed a terrifying force.

Especially when combined with Shen Changqing’s current cultivation, the power of this strike far surpassed even that of a typical Semi-Saint divine power.

“BOOM!!!!”

The sword energy ripped through the Semi-Saint Dao rhythm and fiercely slammed into the Immortal Seal, sending the supreme treasure scattering.

Immediately afterwards,

Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, and billions of blood-red sword energies blasted out, enveloping the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.

The latter’s expression changed, and he immediately summoned the Immortal Seal once more. The mountain-like seal suppressed the attack, dispersing most of the sword energy, but a small amount could not withstand the impact, further damaging his already severely injured body.

“Destroy!”

Shen Changqing’s face was stern, a terrifying sword intent piercing the nine heavens. The supremely powerful sword, powerful enough to slay gods and slay immortals, now lashed out fiercely.

The power of this single sword condensed all of Shen Changqing’s energy and spirit, utterly eclipsing even the might of Bailian Qingfeng’s former saint-slaying sword.

At that moment,

a shadow of death surged within the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s heart. Such a deadly threat filled his face with horror.

He realized

he had been pinned down by the power of this sword, with no escape.

Seeing this,

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor acted decisively, summoning his Immortal Seal. In the next breath, a destructive force erupted from it, instantly engulfing everything.

At this critical moment, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor resolutely chose to self-destruct his innate imperial weapon.

The power of such a supreme treasure’s self-destruction was naturally terrifying.

Even if this force wasn’t as powerful as that of a semi-saint, it was still far more terrifying than that of many top-tier Immortal Emperors.

When this devastating force erupted, Shen Changqing bore the brunt of it. The

moment it was engulfed, the force continued to surge, spreading across the vast expanse of heaven and earth, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire Immortal Realm.

Seeing this,

even as the Dao rhyme of a Semi-Saint rose from the Heavenly Demon Immortal City, its powerful sword energy suppressed the void, minimizing the reach of the Innate Imperial Weapon’s self-detonation.

Even so,

the aura of the Innate Imperial Weapon’s self-detonation still terrified many powerful beings.

Even some of the most ancient Immortal Emperors felt a tremor in their hearts upon sensing this aura.

“The Innate Imperial Weapon has self-destructed!”

“That Heavenly Demon Saint Lord would probably struggle to withstand it!”

“Could it be that the Nine Mountains Immortal Court truly has won this battle?”

Many powerful beings gazed at the void consumed by the Innate Imperial Weapon’s power. The Great Dao was devoid of existence there, making it impossible even to discern its true nature with the n*ked eye.

No one had anticipated that things would escalate to this point.

Initially, they thought the battle was a sure win for the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, but the Heavenly Demon Lord’s strength was beyond imagination, completely crushing the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.

Just when they thought the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was on the verge of victory, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor decisively self-destructed an Innate Imperial Weapon, completely turning the tide.

The detonation of such a precious treasure could have catastrophized even a Semi-Saint aspiring to immortality, let alone an Immortal Emperor.

Therefore,

none of these powerful individuals believed Shen Changqing had any chance of survival.

If the Heavenly Demon Lord perished, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would be the sole victor.

Of course,

even if the Nine Mountains Immortal Court could win, the losses would be significant.

The destruction of an Innate Imperial Weapon for an Immortal Emperor force was hardly a win.

But at that moment, a figure emerged from the chaotic void.

Upon seeing this figure, the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor’s pupils narrowed.

“You’re not dead!!!!”

The Innate Imperial Weapon’s self-detonation!

They hadn’t even been able to completely slay it right there.

This scene.

This completely shattered the last shred of hope held by the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor.

Without waiting for Shen Changqing to make a move, he crushed a jade talisman. A terrifying Dao-power enveloped him, and in an instant, he ripped through the void and vanished.

At the same moment the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor fled, the Heavenly Axe Star Lord, who was engaged in a battle with a powerful being from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, also crushed a jade talisman and vanished into the Heavenly Star Region.

Everything happened so quickly that many cultivators were unable to react.

Only then, after

the Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Axe Star Lord had departed, did they recover from their shock.

“He’s not dead!”

“Hiss! Even the self-destruction of the Innate Imperial Weapon couldn’t kill this Heavenly Demon Saint Lord. Such strength is truly terrifying!”

Many powerful beings gasped in shock, looking at Shen Changqing with eyes filled with shock.

That was the self-destruction of the Innate Imperial Weapon!

Even a semi-saint facing it would have been bloody.

Even so,

it couldn’t slay this Heavenly Demon Saint Lord.

This shows just how terrifying the opponent’s strength truly is.

At this moment,

Shen Changqing cast a deep glance in the direction the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor had fled. He didn’t pursue him, as he clearly had a life-saving trump card, and pursuing him would be futile.

However, after

this battle,

Shen Changqing had already clearly understood his own strength and the level he had reached. Beings like the Nine Mountain Immortal Emperor no longer posed a significant threat to him.

While it was a pity that he hadn’t been able to completely eliminate him, that was all.

Then,

Shen Changqing glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Immortal City and met Jiang Linyuan’s eyes.

The former nodded slightly, a token of gratitude.

Shen Changqing had also witnessed Jiang Linyuan’s earlier action to suppress the power of the Xiantian Emperor Weapon’s self-destruction.

If not for the other party’s intervention, the aftermath of such a supreme treasure’s self-destruction would have been enough to raze the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land to the ground.

Regardless of Jiang Linyuan’s motive for his action, the favor was owed.

Then,

Shen Changqing looked towards the rest of the battlefield.

The Nine Mountains Immortal Emperor was defeated, the Celestial Axe Star Lord fled in panic, and the remaining Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s morale plummeted.

In this initial battle, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s forces hadn’t held much of an advantage.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land’s current strength was extraordinary. Each of its ten Innate Demon Gods was at least as powerful as a mid-level Immortal Emperor.

Had the Nine Mountains Immortal Court been at its peak, it would have been no match for the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   Each of

the three great Emperors had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm.   As the foremost among the Emperors, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor possessed power comparable to those recorded in the Immortal Emperor Monument.   Had such powerful beings remained alive, they would have been no match for the innate demon gods at this stage.   However,   the Nine Mountains Immortal Court had long since lost its peak.   Many of its top warriors had perished.   Under these circumstances, it was natural that they would be locked in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.   With the Nine Mountains Immortal Court’s morale plummeting, the situation, once balanced, had become one-sided.   Shen Changqing didn’t hold back at this point, immediately summoning the Immortal-Exterminating Formation Diagram. Twelve Immortal-Exterminating Swords descended from the void, instantly forming a top-tier killing formation capable of slaying gods and exterminating immortals.   Before the might of this Immortal-Exterminating Sword Formation, even an Immortal Emperor was a mere ant.   The formation strangled them,   killing countless cultivators from the Nine Mountains Immortal Court.   Some Immortal Emperors, seeing the situation was hopeless, attempted to flee the battlefield.   But just as they were about to break free, a chilling crimson light pierced through the void, piercing their chests and pinning them to the void.
