Elder Tianying swept his hand, and the Mountain-Suppressing Ruler swelled in the wind to several thousand zhang long. Laden with the crushing gravity of the earth veins, it smashed down viciously toward Chen Changqing's head!
Space collapsed layer upon layer beneath the heavy ruler, letting out a piercing wail.
Faced with a terrifying attack powerful enough to crush an ordinary late True Monarch, Chen Changqing remained composed.
All twelve primordial spirits within him began circulating their power in unison.
His nine scarlet-gold primordial spirits erupted with pure yang sword qi, while his three star primordial spirits drew down starlight from across the sky.
Chen Changqing raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together into a sword gesture.
Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
An assassination art originally belonging to the Yin Yue Holy Dynasty turned decay into wonder in his hands, infused with pure, invincible sword intent.
An infinitesimally thin black sword line shot from his fingertips.
The instant it appeared, the light throughout heaven and earth abruptly dimmed.
Crack!
The Mountain-Suppressing Ruler, several thousand zhang long and immensely heavy, was sliced neatly in two like tender tofu the moment it touched the black sword line!
The fragments of the Quasi-Immortal Artifact fell from the sky, smashing several mountaintops below.
The black sword line continued unabated, piercing the Black Tortoise Faxiang behind Elder Tianying in an instant.
The massive, solid manifestation collapsed with a thunderous crash, dissolving into blue-green motes that filled the sky.
Elder Tianying reeled as though struck by a tremendous blow. A fist-sized bloody hole burst open in his chest, and he flew backward several thousand zhang, spraying blood without end.
"How is that possible?!"
Elder Tianying's hair hung disheveled, his face filled with horror.
