The Creation Fragment Stabilizes Heaven and Earth
There was no light in the shattered void, and thousands upon thousands of silver spatial blades whistled and darted through.
Each spatial blade that slices through can easily cut through the physical body of Mahayana Cultivator.
Nine towering, blood-red Formation Flag were planted in the four directions of the starry sky, their banners fluttering wildly, and the black and red Sha Qi they spewed out completely sealed off the area within a hundred miles.
The Nangong Law Hall Grand Elder stood directly in front of the array's core, his empty left sleeve pressed tightly against his ribs by the gale.
Thick black energy still surged at the severed shoulder wound, mixed with dripping purple-gold immortal blood.
The sword Principles left behind by that sword strike three days ago are still tearing at his meridians.
Standing on his left and right were two withered old men with dim auras.
The old man on the left is clad in blood-red bone armor. He is the ancestor of Rakshasa City, who has retired and secluded himself for three thousand years, and One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal.
The old man on the right carries a black iron demon coffin on his back, which is the only remaining pillar of Black Mountain City that can Pillar of Stability. It has also survived a life-or-death Heavenly Tribulation.
To ensure absolute success, Grand Elder Nangong spared no expense in offering substantial rewards to invite these two ancient monsters from the Outer Domain into the void passage, where they joined forces to set up the Nine-Bend Immortal-Severing Grand Formation.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, is this the Yang Realm boy who severed one arm of your Dharma Body?"
The Black Mountain Ancestor stroked the black iron demon coffin behind him, his hoarse voice echoing in the starry sky.
"He has the aura of Half-Step Heavenly Monarch, but he doesn't seem to have Three-Headed Six-Armed."
Rakshasa Ancestor licked his chapped lips, his turbid eyes fixed on the Immortal Execution Sword at Chen Changqing's waist and the spot in his arms.
"I heard that this kid possesses Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure, as well as a life-saving Jade Talisman bestowed by a sword immortal from the Upper Realm."
"Let's make it clear first: after we kill him, the Spirit Treasure flying sword will belong to your Nangong Family, but the Storage Ring and other Immortal Artifacts on this kid's body will be split equally between the two of us."
Grand Elder Nangong's face twitched, and he raised his one arm, bending his five fingers into a claw.
"As long as this little beast can be reduced to ashes and the disgrace of my Nangong Family in the competition can be washed away, I will not take a single penny of his belongings!"
"Attack! The Immortal-Slaying Formation isolates the inner and outer secrets of heaven; do not give him the chance to crush the second sword talisman!"
Boom!
The three Tribulation Immortals launched their attack simultaneously.
Nine towering blood-red Formation Flag suddenly lit up with a blinding red light, and the countless vengeful souls engraved on the banners simultaneously let out mournful howls.
The Principle that sealed off the entire starry sky instantly solidified, transforming into nine incredibly thick, blood-red ancient demonic dragons that opened their gaping maws and pounced on Chen Changqing from all directions.
At the same time, the raging silver spatial storm around them was forcibly stirred up by the great formation, mixing into the body of the demonic dragon, threatening to pulverize the people in the formation, along with their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits, into dust.
Faced with this deadly situation that could kill even Two-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, Chen Changqing stood still, not even moving an inch.
The Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk, hanging three feet above his head, trembled slightly.
Buzz!
A layer of bluish-green light cascaded down from the edge of the fragment, enveloping Chen Changqing within a three-foot radius.
Those silver spatial blades, powerful enough to shatter Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, froze in mid-air the moment they touched the azure light, then silently dissolved and disintegrated.
No matter how fierce the storms raged outside, the place where Chen Changqing stood remained calm and peaceful.
"What?! This cyan fragment can actually stabilize the Spatial Turbulence?!"
The Rakshasa Ancestor let out a strange cry, his greedy expression intensifying.
"This is a fragment of an ancient artifact! Grab it now!"
Chen Changqing raised his eyelids and glanced at the three old men opposite him.
"Three immortal beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years have joined forces to ambush and kill a junior like me."
"It seems that this is all the Tribulation Immortals of the Nine Netherworlds are capable of."
Chen Changqing did not touch the Mount Shu Sword Talisman in his pocket.
Dealing with these few old guys who are barely alive and have just entered the Tribulation Immortal realm would be too wasteful of the primordial Sword Qi left by our master.
Boom!
Within Chen Changqing's body, the curtains of nine Purple Mansions simultaneously opened.
The dark gold ancient seal script of the "Violence Formula" suddenly lit up deep within my Sea of Consciousness!
The immense Pure Yang Qi and Blood that had just broken through to the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch completely boiled and burned at this moment.
His Law Power pressure, which was already comparable to that of Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage, surged forward again, breaking through the threshold of the Late Heavenly Monarch Stage and settling firmly at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection!
Whoosh!
Five cracks appeared in the void beside Chen Changqing.
The Invincible Avatar Technique was activated at full power, and five white-robed Avatars stepped out in unison.
With the simultaneous blessing of the "Violence Formula," the aura emanating from these five Avatars had all reached the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection!
"It's that avatar External Avatar again!"
Grand Elder Nangong's pupils contracted sharply, and the wound on his severed arm reopened due to the intense emotional turmoil.
"Be careful, this kid's Avatar is just as powerful as his original self!"
"It's too late to remind you now."
Instead of rushing forward to fight, Chen Changqing himself sat down cross-legged in the azure aura.
He pressed his hands down, and an ancient zither, carved entirely from ten-thousand-year-old paulownia wood and with dark gold immortal patterns flowing across its surface, appeared out of thin air and was placed horizontally on his knees.
The legacy of the Old Man Heavenly Question: The High-grade Immortal Artifact, the Immortal-Burying Zither!
Chen Changqing's long, slender fingers rested gently on the seven crystal-clear fairy strings.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits and the Three Great Star Primordial Spirits simultaneously formed hand seals, and a vast five-thousand-mile-long Divine Sense flowed into the body of the zither through his arms.
"Zheng--!"
Chen Changqing suddenly plucked the strings with his ten fingers.
The Immortal-Burying Melody begins!
Instead of the expected melodious music, there was only a shrill, chilling, and deadly immortal melody specifically targeting the consciousness of living Sea of Consciousness, which transcended spatial barriers and exploded violently in the desolate starry sky!
The invisible sound waves transformed into thousands of transparent blades, ignoring the physical defenses of the Nine-Bend Immortal-Severing Grand Formation and directly piercing through the bodies of the nine blood-red demonic dragons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The nine blood-red demonic dragons that rushed forward were instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the sound of the zither.
The nine towering Formation Flags planted in the four directions of the starry sky shook violently, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the flagpoles, and the array core was broken in an instant!
"Ah!! My head!!"
The Black Mountain Ancestor, who was at the forefront, was the first to be hit. He clutched his head tightly with both hands and let out a shrill scream.
The Immortal-Burying Melody was created by the Old Man Heavenly Question of the Upper Realm specifically for Immortal Slaughter and demons. When combined with the High-grade Immortal Artifact, the Immortal-Burying Zither, and further amplified by the terrifying Divine Sense of Chen Changqing's Twelve Primordial Spirits, its power is more than doubled.
Black Mountain Ancestor felt as if his Tribulation Immortal soul had been pierced by countless red-hot steel needles. His Sea of Consciousness churned violently, and the Tribulation Immortal Method that had been operating smoothly were severed on the spot. He froze in mid-air, and black blood spurted from his seven orifices at the same time.
The Rakshasa Ancestor and Grand Elder Nangong standing nearby were in no better shape.
The two men turned deathly pale and desperately activated their protective Immortal Artifacts to try and block out the music, but the piercing melody reverberated directly within their Sea of Consciousness, shaking their Primordial Spirits to the point of shattering, making it extremely difficult for them to even maintain their physical form.
"Now!"
Chen Changqing was sitting cross-legged playing the zither, gave a cold shout.
The five Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection Avatar, who had been poised to strike, transformed into five Dao Gold rainbows and burst forth the instant the music of the zither intimidated the three Tribulation Immortals!
The five Avatars completely ignored Grand Elder Nangong and Rakshasa Ancestor, and all their killing moves were locked onto Black Mountain Ancestor, who was the weakest in cultivation and had the most severe damage to his soul!
The two figures at the very front Avatar an enormous, dark gold hammer tightly in both hands.
The legacy of Ouye Tiangong, the Top-grade Immortal Artifact, the Haotian Hammer!
The two Avatars pushed their Sixth Turn Quasi-Immortal Artifact physical strength to the limit, swung the Haotian Hammer, and smashed it down hard on the head of the Black Mountain Ancestor.
"The Thirty-Six Chaotic Cloak Hammers," the ultimate killing move, Return to Void!
As the hammer fell, the surrounding star illusions vanished inch by inch, and the violent force smashed a bottomless black hole into the void.
At the same time, the other three Avatars, wielding the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear, which had just been upgraded to Top-grade Immortal Artifact, blocked all of the Black Mountain Ancestor's escape routes in a triangular formation.
The third shot in "The Immortal-Extinguishing Three Spears" Heavenly-Immortal Execution!
The three dark golden dragon-shaped spear beams, each a thousand feet long, merged into one, tearing through the Firmament and piercing straight into the heart of the Black Mountain Ancestor!
"No!! Help me!!"
The Black Mountain Ancestor awoke from excruciating pain in his soul and was terrified when he saw the Top-grade Immortal Artifact hammer and the deadly spear light crashing down on him.
He frantically pounded on the black iron coffin on his back, trying to summon it for protection.
Clang--!
The Haotian Hammer struck first, slamming heavily onto the lid of the Black Iron Demon Coffin.
This Low-grade Immortal Artifact, the Demon Coffin, which had been nurtured for thousands of years, couldn't even withstand half a breath under the violent bombardment of the Top-grade Immortal Artifact, the Haotian Hammer, and the "Thirty-Six Chaotic Cloak Hammers." It dented and shattered in the middle on the spot, turning into countless pieces of scrap metal that scattered everywhere!
Immediately afterwards, the second heavy hammer and the Heavenly-Immortal Execution Spear beam struck the Black Mountain Ancestor's chest without any obstruction.
Snap! Pfft!
This One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Ancestor, who was renowned in the Outer Domain, had his protective immortal aura shattered on the spot, his sternum completely collapsed, and his entire body was pierced through from the front by the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear. Mouthfuls of immortal blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out!
"Fellow Daoist Heishan!!"
Rakshasa Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He endured the stinging pain in his Sea of Consciousness and tried to help, but was blocked by two Avatars who turned around and brandished spears.
In the center of the void, Chen Changqing, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up.
The Immortal-Burying Zither was put back into his sleeve, and the Immortal Execution Sword at his waist emitted a high-pitched sword cry, transforming into a hazy, chaotic stream of light that flew into his palm.
The Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step.
Chen Changqing's figure traversed dozens of miles of starry sky and appeared before the critically injured and dying Black Mountain Ancestor.
"One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal? Perfect for making up the numbers."
With a slight flick of his wrist, Chen Changqing Immortal Execution Sword crashing down from the sky.
The Fifth Form of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique: Immortal Execution!
The grayish-white Chaos Sword Ray, exuding a destructive sharpness, swept past the gun hole in the chest of the Black Mountain Ancestor.
"Greed..."
The fear in the eyes of the Black Mountain Ancestor froze completely.
With a soft hissing sound, his Ghost Immortal body, which had survived a Heavenly Tribulation, was cleaved in two by the power of the Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure!
A primordial Primordial Spirit radiating rich Taiyin had just emerged from the cracked skull, and before it could even use its teleportation technique, it was tightly enveloped by the Divine Sense net of the Twelve Primordial Spirits following closely behind, and then instantly shredded into countless points of light by the Chaos Sword Qi!
Both body and soul were destroyed!
Tribulation Immortal of purple-gold blood, reminiscent of the Immortal Tribulation, burned fiercely in the void, illuminating the bloodless faces of Grand Elder Nangong and Rakshasa Ancestor.
[Ding! You have defeated the Black Mountain Ancestor, a first- One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, and gained 30,000,000 AFK Points!]
[Current AFK Points Balance: 147,500,000 points!]
The system's crisp notification sound exploded in Chen Changqing's mind.
The AFK Points that had been partially depleted were instantly replenished, and the total reached 140 million!
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Changqing collected the Storage Ring left behind by the Black Mountain Ancestor after his fall, the broken materials of the demonic coffin, and the lingering essence of the Tribulation Immortal into his Heaven-Stepping Ring.
Quiet.
Within the shattered void passage, only the howling wind Spatial Turbulence currents remained.
Rakshasa Ancestor froze in mid-air, his Bone Demon trembling uncontrollably, his back completely soaked with cold sweat.
He died.
The Black Mountain Ancestor, a true One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal who had been renowned for thousands of years, couldn't even withstand ten breaths before being torn to pieces on the spot by this Yang Realm brat and his five Avatars!
From beginning to end, this kid didn't even use that terrifying Mount Shu Sword Talisman!
"A monster... This is a primordial monster disguised as True Lord!"
Rakshasa Ancestor no longer had any intention of seizing the treasure, and turned around to try to tear through space and escape back to the Outer Domain.
"Brother Rakshasa, don't panic!"
Just then, Grand Elder Nangong let out a hysterical roar.
He looked at Chen Changqing, who had turned around with his sword drawn, his single eye bloodshot, and his heart was also filled with turmoil.
The fighting prowess this young man has displayed is too bizarre. If he is allowed to leave this passage alive today, the entire Nangong Aristocratic Clan will never be able to sleep or eat in peace!
"Even if it costs me a thousand years of my lifespan, I will utterly annihilate this little beast!"
Grand Elder Nangong gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood from his own life- Tribulation Immortal heart onto his right palm.
Boom!
A heavy book, entirely made of pitch-black Netherworld Iron and inscribed with endless chains of cause and effect, slowly emerged from his Sea of Consciousness between his brows.
The moment this book appeared, the temperature of the entire void passage plummeted to freezing point. It was as if a pair of merciless eyes opened in the Firmament the Unseen, scrutinizing the lifespan and death of all things in the world.
The most treasured artifact of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan family, Replica of Yama's Book of Life and Death, Top-grade Immortal Artifact!
Although it is only a replica of the orthodox Book of Life and Death of the Underworld, after being refined by the incense offerings of the Nangong Family for 100,000 years, it has long possessed a trace of the true power to obliterate the law of cause and effect!
"Fellow Daoist Rakshasa, lend me a hand and infuse my immortal essence into the Book of Life and Death!"
Grand Elder Nangong, looking like a madman, gripped the blood-red Judge's Brush, which had previously fused with some of the Principle, with his one arm and fiercely dipped it into the black-gold ink on the book.
Seeing this, the Rakshasa Ancestor gritted his teeth, knowing that retreating now would only lead to death. He immediately spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, placed his hands on Grand Elder Nangong's back, and poured all his Tribulation Immortal Essence into it without reservation.
Splash--!
The Replica of Yama's Book of Life and Death moved automatically in mid-air without any wind, its pages flipping wildly before finally stopping on a blank page.
A black curtain, obscuring the sky, spread out from the book, instantly swallowing up the entire hundred-mile-long starry sky.
"May your lifespan end and your soul return to the Nine Netherworlds!"
Grand Elder Nangong bled from all seven orifices, the veins on his arm gripping the Judge's Brush's pen bulging, and despite the immense Principle, he painstakingly wrote three large, scarlet characters on the blank page of the Book of Life and Death:
[Chen Changqing]!
Boom--!
The moment the last word "green" was written, a law of death and causation that could not be blocked by physical defenses followed the mysterious Qi induction and fell directly on Chen Changqing's body!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any incomparably sharp Sword Qi.
Chen Changqing felt his life force suddenly stagnate.
The once surging, Pure Yang Qi and Blood, under the erosion of this causal Principle forcibly strips away lifespan, began to show signs of depletion and decay.
A strand of black hair on his forehead quickly lost its luster and turned gray, and even his skin showed signs of age!
The five Avatars around them were affected by the main body's energy, and their bodies shook violently, becoming flickering.
"Haha! It's done! The Book of Life and Death has been written. Even if you are a reincarnation of Daluo Golden Immortal, as long as you are still within the cycle of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, you will surely die today!"
Grand Elder Nangong, seeing Chen Changqing's aura rapidly declining, burst into a wild, exhilarating laugh.
However, Chen Changqing, who was right in the center of the darkness of death, raised his hand to touch the strand of gray hair on his forehead, but there was no fear on his face.
To use my current destiny level to lock up my lifespan?
If my life level were to instantly leap forward, breaking free from the causal framework confined by your lousy book, what would you do then?
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Changqing activated the system panel deep within his Sea of Consciousness.
"System! Consume all AFK Points and forcefully break through to the next level of the 'Invincible Immortal Ascension Technique' to reach the Heavenly Monarch Realm!"
Rumble--!
In my mind, the remaining 147.5 million AFK Points were completely wiped out in an instant!
An indescribable, immense power of creation descended from nothingness, forcefully pouring into Chen Changqing's limbs, bones, and nine Purple Mansion!
If the previous 100x speed-up AFK was like a rushing river, then this forced addition of 140 million AFK Points is like billions of ancient stars exploding within his body at the same time!
Click! Click! Click!
Within Chen Changqing's body, the indestructible barrier between the immortal and mortal realms, representing the difference between True Lord and Heavenly Monarch, couldn't even withstand half a breath under the impact of this almost unreasonable and massive energy, and was instantly shattered!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!
The nine already vast and boundless Purple Mansion exploded at this moment, and then, under the operation of the "Invincible Immortal Ascension Technique," they were completely reorganized and evolved into nine vast and boundless inner Minor Worlds!
At the same time, the "Myriad Transformations Starry Skies Art" within his Sea of Consciousness simultaneously broke through to the Great Accomplishment Completion Realm.
The Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits and the Three Great Star Primordial Spirits simultaneously absorbed the source of creation, their bodies swelled by a thousand feet, and a tangible halo of immortal Principle condensed on their surfaces!
Boom--!
A majestic, Pure Yang immortal power, transcending the mortal realm and truly belonging to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, shot up from the top of Chen Changqing's head, transforming into a thick, thousand-foot-long Golden Light that pierced through the black curtain of death above his head, which had evolved from the Book of Life and Death!
The gray hair on Chen Changqing's forehead instantly returned to its jet-black color under the Pure Yang immortal light.
The stagnant energy and karmic causes of death that had just begun to grow within his body were directly shattered into nothingness by the new Heavenly Monarch's life essence!
Official breakthrough, Early Heavenly Monarch Stage!
His terrifying Divine Sense, spanning ten thousand miles, suddenly spread out, revealing the entire interdimensional void passage and even the Central Domain at its end in the blink of an eye!
Snap!
In mid-air, the Replica of Yama's Book of Life and Death in Grand Elder Nangong's hand trembled violently. The three blood-red characters "Chen Changqing" that had just been written on the page could not withstand the domineering destiny after the leap and exploded on the spot, burning a charred hole in the entire page of the Netherworld Iron Book!
"Puff--!"
The law of causality was forcibly broken, and a terrifying backlash flowed back through the Book of Life and Death.
Grand Elder Nangong and the Rakshasa Ancestor behind him were struck as if by lightning, both spitting out a mouthful of black gold blood. Their auras instantly weakened by more than 30%!
