Chapter 3499 Dividing the Great Yan Immortal Court

The entire process

was smooth and effortless .

From the fall of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor to Shen Changqing’s departure, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

The other powerful figures who were secretly observing felt a chill run down their spines the moment Shen Changqing cast his gaze.

The terror of that instant made them all want to turn and run.

Fortunately,

Shen Changqing did not make a move.

He only glanced at them before turning and leaving.

As Shen Changqing left, the pressure suddenly disappeared, causing many cultivators to instinctively breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment,

they emerged from the shadows and arrived above the Great Yan Immortal Court’s imperial palace.

They saw that the vast immortal city was now in two extremes.

Part of the imperial palace had been reduced to ruins, with the remaining powerful sword intent preventing any living being from entering, while the part outside the imperial palace was unaffected, and many ordinary cultivators were still recovering from what had just happened.

“To kill the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor with a single sword strike, and this was the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor at his true peak, wielding the Celestial Court’s fortune—such strength is truly unfathomable!”

“Shen Changqing of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect… I’ve also heard of his name. Rumors circulate that he’s the number one Celestial Emperor, which I initially thought was just hearsay.

But seeing him today, I know those rumors are true!”

An ancient Celestial Emperor sighed, his words filled with awe.

This was reverence for the powerful.

The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s strength was among the top in the entire Liuli Domain. Within the Celestial Court, no other Celestial Emperor from any other force could confidently defeat him under such circumstances. Yet

,

even the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor, so powerful, was ultimately no match for Shen Changqing.

With just one sword strike, he was reduced to nothing

but dust. This

demonstrates the terrifying strength of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor.

A Celestial Emperor couldn’t resist stepping into the ruins of the imperial palace, but the moment he moved, he saw the remaining sword intent surge violently.

“Pfft—”

The Immortal Emperor didn’t even have time to react before feeling a sharp pain in his lower body as one of his legs was severed by the sword intent.

This scene

caused the other powerful figures to gasp in shock.

The remaining sword intent was terrifyingly powerful. The Immortal Emperor who had just witnessed it was not weak either, having reached the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, yet he couldn’t withstand such sword intent.

It was only because he was a fraction of a second slower that he lost more than just a leg.

At this moment,

they felt even more terrified of the strength of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect Master.

However,

compared to Shen Changqing’s strength, the subsequent impact of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor’s fall was more worthy of concern for the cultivators of the Glazed Domain.

One emperor and four venerables had all perished. The elite of

the five prefectures had been completely lost.

Moreover, most of the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Court had perished along with the destruction of the imperial palace.

As a result,

the Great Yan Immortal Court was now merely a name without substance.

It must be understood that the Great Yan Immortal Court was a top power in the Glazed Domain, occupying numerous territories.

At this moment, with the top combat force of the Great Yan Immortal Court completely wiped out, it presented a rare opportunity for other forces.

Soon,

an Immortal Emperor quietly departed.

With the first one leaving, the others didn’t linger and immediately turned and left. They needed to relay

this news

back immediately.

As for the ruins of the imperial palace, no one searched for anything. They weren’t

joking.

They hadn’t witnessed what had just happened.

A mid-stage Immortal Emperor had only taken half a step into the palace grounds before losing a leg.

If he had entered in his true form, he would likely have perished on the spot.

With such lingering sword intent, the Great Yan Imperial Palace had become a forbidden zone that no living being could easily tread.

Without sufficient strength, one simply wasn’t qualified to venture inside.

Judging from the extent of the remaining sword intent, let alone a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, even some late-stage Immortal Emperors, or even peak Immortal Emperors, might not be able to penetrate it.

Therefore, while

the resources of the imperial palace were excellent, one

needed the strength to seize them.

Without sufficient strength to venture inside, it was tantamount to courting death.

Therefore—

these cultivators left decisively.

It was better to be practical than to fight over these illusory things.

…

Not long after,

news of the fall of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor and many of the Celestial Court’s top warriors spread far and wide.

All the forces in the Glazed Domain immediately launched attacks on the Great Yan Celestial Court.

With the fall of its top warriors, the Great Yan Celestial Court was already in disarray.

Faced with the overwhelming army, the vast Celestial Court had little room to resist.

In less than a year

, the entire Great Yan Celestial Court was completely divided up.

However—

these things were irrelevant to Shen Changqing.

Just as he said, after that sword strike, the feud between the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and the Great Yan Celestial Court was over.

Of course,

from beginning to end,

Shen Changqing didn’t believe the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor could withstand that sword strike.

After all, that sword strike, seemingly effortless, actually carried the power of a second-grade innate imperial weapon; let alone a Celestial Emperor, even a half-saint would find it difficult to withstand.

Even if a mere late-stage Immortal Emperor could borrow the power of the Immortal Court’s fortune, it would be useless.

Therefore,

from the very beginning,

the fall of the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor was inevitable.

As for the territory of the Great Yan Immortal Court, Shen Changqing had no intention of taking it over. No matter

how strong the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was at the moment, it was impossible for them to occupy the territories of other Immortal Continents.

Spanning multiple immortal continents, such a feat is difficult even for forces possessing the foundations of immortality or even sainthood.

While the Xuan Tian Dao Sect is not weak, it hasn’t reached that level yet.

Moreover,

the Liuli Domain isn’t a top-tier immortal domain

; it’s merely a high-level immortal domain with abundant resources.

As someone who once ruled the Tianxing Domain, Shen Changqing is intimately familiar with the situation of high-level immortal domains.

Taking such a risk for a mere high-level immortal domain is completely unnecessary.

Meanwhile,

news of the fall of four powerful figures and the loss of most of the elite troops from the Five Prefectures has spread throughout the Shentian Domain.

Other immortal continent forces are horrified upon hearing this news.

Many forces, especially those secretly planning to join forces against the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, are stunned.

But just as they were about to investigate further, another piece of news arrived.

“The Great Yan Heavenly Emperor has fallen!”

“Shen Changqing alone entered the Jade Universe State’s Glazed Domain and killed the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor!?”

“Impossible! The Great Yan Immortal Court’s accumulation over a dozen Immortal Emperor eras is unfathomable; how could it be so easily destroyed!!”

This sudden news caught all forces off guard.

Upon hearing the news, their first reaction was that it was a rumor.

However, as the footage of the Great Yan Immortal Court’s battle spread, the scene captured in the recording stone silenced the cultivators of these forces.

The news might be a rumor, and the recording stone might be fake.

But the combination of the two made it impossible for it to be false.

After all, this event occurred under the watchful eyes of everyone; if it were fake, it would have been exposed long ago.

Therefore,

this news was undoubtedly true.

In an instant,

all forces fell silent .

Originally, they wanted to join forces to destroy the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, but now they realized that such an approach was suicidal.

Not to mention anything else, the strength of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s leader was already enough to suppress everything.

Have you not seen it?

Even a powerful figure like the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor was slain by a single sword strike.

Other cultivators were no different from ants in his eyes.

If the Xuan Tian Dao Sect had fought a bloody battle with the Great Yan Immortal Court and paid a heavy price to destroy it, they wouldn’t be so afraid.

But the problem is,

the Xuan Tian Dao Sect didn’t even use much power.

It was merely the sect leader’s intervention that crushed the Great Yan Immortal Court.

Such a disparity in strength is naturally despair-inducing.

Therefore,

when this news spread, the turmoil not only in the Void Star Domain, but also in the Thousand Demon, Azure Heaven, and Azure Nether Immortal Domains, instantly subsided.

All the invading forces from other states consciously left their respective Immortal Domains, fearing that if they were even half a step too slow, they would follow in the footsteps of the Great Yan Immortal Court.

Undeniably,

the emergence of the Chaos Dao Palace in the Purple Sun Domain and the invasion of numerous Immortal State forces are a tremendous shock to the native forces of the Divine Wind State.

But the problem is…

Powerful forces all targeted high-level and top-tier immortal domains, even supreme immortal domains.

Forces aiming for mid-level immortal domains were generally not very strong.

A force like the Great Evolution Immortal Court was already considered beyond that level.

However,

the Profound Heaven Dao Sect was far more terrifying than the Great Evolution Immortal Court.

Faced with a force of this caliber, how could other immortal states dare to contend?

Furthermore,

of the two hundred mid-level immortal domains,

the Profound Heaven Dao Sect only controlled five, not all of them.

Therefore,

other forces had no reason to fight the Profound Heaven Dao Sect to the death; they could focus their attention on other mid-level immortal domains, thus temporarily avoiding direct confrontation.

With the withdrawal of various forces, the pressure on several immortal domains decreased sharply. At

the Heavenly Alliance’s location,

Yan Dong looked at the incoming news with admiration on his face.

“As expected of the Alliance Leader, his strength is indeed unfathomable. He slew the Great Yan Heavenly Emperor with a single sword strike, intimidating all the Immortal Continents. Now, in the vast Void Star Domain, other outer continent forces dare not set foot even half a step!”

Although Chu Junhe led his cultivators to annihilate many forces earlier, many others still secretly coveted the opportunity to make a comeback.

But now it’s different.

With the news spreading from Yu Huan Continent, all those secretly coveting eyes disappeared. This

was because Shen Changqing’s strength instilled fear in these forces.

This outcome is naturally good for the entire Heavenly Alliance.

Without other forces secretly coveting, the Heavenly Alliance can have a chance to breathe.

Lang Yun and other high-ranking members of the Heavenly Alliance also showed awe.

However,

some looked slightly worried.

“Now the Heavenly Alliance has a chance to breathe, but if the situation in the Zi Yang Domain continues to escalate, it might once again affect all the Immortal Continents—”

Upon hearing this, Yan Dong and other cultivators’ expressions became much more solemn.

This prediction…

It’s not impossible.
