Yellow Springs Diagram
Before the bell rang, dozens of Obsidian pavilions around the area collapsed under the pressure of the Three Tribulations, and dozens of bottomless cracks appeared in the ground.
Standing at the entrance of the auction house, Zhong Cheng was terrified, his face ashen and his fists clenched tightly.
Faced with this deadly blow that could instantly turn an ordinary Two-Tribulation Ghost Immortal into mincemeat, Chen Changqing, who was standing in the middle of the long street, stopped in his tracks.
He neither drew the Immortal Execution Sword from his waist nor summoned the five terrifyingly powerful Avatars.
Under the astonished gazes of thousands of Cultivators, Chen Changqing simply raised his right hand, bent the other four fingers, and extended only the index finger that gleamed with the purple luster of jade.
The brute force of the seventh stage of the "Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art," Immortal Artifact- level physical strength, mixed with a Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor's Principle that had just been fused together, was gathered without reservation at a single point on the fingertip!
"Noisy."
Chen Changqing uttered two words and gently poked the hundred-foot -Soul-Losing Bell that was crashing down on him with his right index finger!
The Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger!
Boom--!
A massive, ethereal, purple-gold finger, hundreds of feet long and almost solid, rose against the heavens from Chen Changqing's fingertip!
Wherever the finger touched, the solidified Principle of the Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal around them became as fragile as paper, instantly crumbling and annihilating!
Clang--!
The giant, purple-gold finger struck the very center of the Nine Netherworlds Soul-Destroying Bell -Destroying Bell with unparalleled precision!
A deafening, crisp sound shattered the eardrums of all the Cultivators in the city.
The Soul-Losing Bell, an indestructible supreme Ghost Artifact nurtured for thousands of years by the Ghost-Weeping Elder, couldn't even withstand half a breath before this finger containing the essence of Immortal Emperor!
Snap! Snap! Bang--!
Countless dazzling purple-gold cracks instantly covered the bell's body, and then, the hundred-foot-tall Soul-Losing Bell exploded into a shower of fine white bone powder in front of everyone!
"What?! You pierced and destroyed my destined Ghost Artifact with your bare hands?!"
The Ghost-Weeping Elder in mid-air nearly had his eyes bulge out of their sockets, and the sinister smile on his face instantly turned into extreme terror.
However, before he could escape...
The golden imperial finger that Soul-Losing Bell still possessed immense power, tearing through the sky and piercing right through the center of the Ghost-Weeping Elder's chest!
Pfft--!
Without any hindrance, the dignified Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Netherworld Palace, the Ghost-Weeping Elder, had his protective immortal aura collapse on the spot. His entire physical body, along with the Three Tribulations Primordial Spirit that had just emerged in his Sea of Consciousness and was trying to teleport, was blasted into a cloud of purple-gold blood mist with a diameter of a hundred feet in front of thousands of Cultivators in the city under the violent finger wind of the Great Emperor!
Splash!
Scalding hot blood of the Tribulation Immortal, mixed with shattered bones, rained down on the Obsidian street.
Chen Changqing slowly withdrew his right index finger, his white robe spotless.
[Ding! Defeated the Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Ghost-Weeping Elder from the Netherworld Palace, gaining 60,000,000 AFK Points!]
[Current AFK Points Balance: 100,000,000 points!]
Inside and outside the long street, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The thousands of Cultivators from the Central Domain who had been watching the show from the rooftops were now like ducks with their necks being choked, their mouths agape enough to fit fists, their bodies stiff and unable to move an inch.
On the auction house steps, the head manager's abacus fell to the ground with a clatter, the beads rolling all over the floor.
One finger!
With just a flick of his finger, without even drawing his weapon, he pierced a powerful elder of the Netherworld Palace who had survived three life-and-death Heavenly Tribulations, along with his top-grade Ghost Artifact, into a cloud of blood mist!
Is this something a mere Early Heavenly Monarch Stage could do?!
High in the sky, the other two Three Tribulations Elders of the Netherworld Palace trembled in fear and instinctively retreated ten feet. When they looked at Chen Changqing's right index finger, their eyes were filled with deep terror.
Standing in the very center, the Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Nangong Lie, after a brief moment of deathly silence, suddenly turned his entire old face purplish-black, his beard and hair moving without wind.
"Body Refining to Sainthood! You little beast, you've actually cultivated your physical body to the seventh level, comparable to Immortal Artifact!"
Nangong Lie, after all, was a fourth-level monster who had lived for 40,000 years, and he saw through the truth of Chen Changqing's finger strike at a glance.
With such a monstrous physique and bizarre finger techniques, any ordinary Tribulation Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal would be nothing more than easy prey if he got close!
"Fellow Daoists of the Netherworld Palace, show no more mercy! This boy has achieved physical sainthood; we must not let him get close! Join me in using our most powerful techniques to refine him into ashes!"
Nangong Lie let out a sharp shout, no longer daring to put on any airs of a Fourth Tribulation Ancestor.
He bit his tongue sharply, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood containing a hundred years of lifespan, and his hands rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest.
Rumble--!
A long, yellowish scroll, exuding an aura of decay and vicissitude, suddenly unfurled above Nangong Lie's head!
The Nangong Aristocratic Clan family's most treasured heritage, Half-Step Houtian Spirit Treasure — the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Diagram!
The moment the scroll unfurled, the light of the entire Tianyuan Giant City was completely swallowed up, and a deafening roar of water exploded in the void.
A phantom of the Yellow Springs Nether River, a thousand feet wide, turbid and yellow, filled with the corpses of countless ancient Gods and Devils, poured out from inside the scroll, transforming into a world-destroying yellow waterfall that crashed down on Chen Changqing on the long street!
Before the Yellow Springs even touched them, the corrosive Principle permeating the air had already melted the Obsidian pavement on both sides of the long street into puddles of foul-smelling black water!
At the same time, the other two Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal elders of the Netherworld Palace also risked their lives. One of them summoned a thousand-foot-long blood-red demonic scythe, and the other waved the Ten Thousand Souls White Bone Banner, blocking all of Chen Changqing's evasion routes from the left and right sides!
A Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal activated Half-Step Houtian Spirit Treasure, with two Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortals providing full assistance!
This earth-shattering power caused the abyss cliffs surrounding the Tianyuan Giant City to collapse for dozens of miles!
Faced with this deadly situation that could trap and kill an ordinary Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, Chen Changqing, standing in the middle of the long street, not only did not retreat, but instead let out a long roar to the sky.
"Good timing!"
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the "Violence Formula" exploded with a deafening roar!
The Essence Blood the Ghost-Weeping Elder Chen Changqing had just absorbed and refined was burning completely in his body. His cultivation aura, which was originally at the Early Heavenly Monarch Stage, surged rapidly, breaking through the middle and late stages, and instantly reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection!
Whoosh!
Five cracks appeared in the void beside him as the Invincible Avatar Technique was activated at full power. Five white-robed Avatars, each exuding the pressure of Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection and possessing physical bodies at the seventh level of Immortal Artifact, stepped out together!
"Leave those two small fry to me; I'll go tear up that tattered painting!"
Without uttering a single wasted word, Avatar three Avatars on the left wielded the Top-grade Immortal Artifact Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear, while the two Avatars on the right swung the Top-grade Immortal Artifact Haotian Hammer, transforming into five Dao Gold lightning bolts that directly met the two Netherworld Palace Three Tribulations Elders attacking from the left and right sides!
"The Immortal-Extinguishing Three Spears" —Heavenly-Immortal Execution!
"Thirty-Six Chaotic Cloak Hammers," Return to Void!
Clang! Clang! Boom--!
The combined attack of the five Immortal Artifact bodies and wielding Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection Avatar Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, was terrifying beyond measure.
The demonic scythes and White-Bone Banners held by the two Netherworld Palace elders at the Three Tribulations were instantly bent inch by inch under the violent bombardment of the Haotian Hammer and the Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spear!
"Puff--!"
The two Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal elders couldn't even hold on for three breaths. Their tiger mouths exploded at the same time, and their chests were grazed by the heavy hammer and spear light of the Avatar. They spat out mouthfuls of black and gold blood, and their bodies flew back hundreds of feet like kites with broken strings, screaming in agony!
And on the battlefield right in the center.
Facing the Yellow Springs Nether River pouring down upon him, the Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk suddenly appeared three feet above Chen Changqing's head!
Buzz--!
A dense, bluish-green light descended, enveloping Chen Changqing.
The dead waters of the Yellow Springs, powerful enough to melt even the Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, were forcibly fixed Principle the decaying and corrosive Principle contained within the azure Jade Plate of Creation once they washed over it. They slid to the sides, unable to harm Chen Changqing in the slightest!
"What?! Even the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Water couldn't corrode that fragment on his head?!"
Seeing this scene from high above, Nangong Lie's eyes turned red.
Before he could change his move, Chen Changqing, bearing the Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk, had already stepped onto the "Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step," transforming himself into a dazzling golden rainbow flowing upstream. He directly rushed into the core of the waterfall of the Thousand-Foot Yellow Springs Nether River, and fought his way to the main body of the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Diagram with unstoppable momentum!
"Break!"
Chen Changqing activated the Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger with his left hand and suddenly drew the Immortal Execution Sword, Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure, from his waist with his right hand!
The Destruction Principle of the Great Emperor's severed finger and the vast Sword Intent of the Twelve Primordial Spirits merged perfectly at this moment, pouring entirely into the edge of the Immortal Execution Sword!
The Fifth Form of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique: Immortal Execution!
Clang!
A massive, grayish-white Chaos Sword Ray, thousands of feet thick and entwined with purple-gold imperial patterns, slashed fiercely out from within the Yellow Springs Diagram!
Sizzle--!
A deafening, ripping sound, like tearing silk, echoed across the entire area!
Under the horrified gazes of thousands of Cultivators, the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Diagram, which had been enshrined by the Nangong Aristocratic Clan for tens of thousands of years and was known as Half-Step Houtian Spirit Treasure, was cleaved in two by the Immortal Execution Sword was split in two, leaving a huge gash a thousand feet long.
The countless illusory images of the Yellow Springs collapsed with a deafening roar!
"No!! My Yellow Springs Diagram!!"
Nangong Lie's mind was connected to the treasure. The moment the scroll was torn apart, he was struck as if by lightning, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
However, the Chaos Sword Ray that tore apart the Yellow Springs Diagram did not dissipate. Instead, it traveled upwards along the crack in the scroll, swiftly sweeping past Nangong Lie's right shoulder like lightning!
Pfft!
Blood splattered into the sky!
This arrogant and powerful Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Ancestor, who was once the most powerful in the Central Domain, couldn't even fully activate his protective Tribulation Ring. His entire right arm, along with half of his shoulder, was sliced off at the root by the Immortal Execution Immortal Execution Sword!
"Ah--!"
Nangong Lie let out an extremely shrill scream, clutching his severed shoulder that was gushing out purple-gold immortal blood, and desperately retreated a hundred feet. His white hair was disheveled, and when he looked at Chen Changqing, his eyes were filled with only bone-chilling fear and horror!
With a single sword strike, he shattered Half-Step Houtian Spirit Treasure and casually sliced off Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal's shoulder!
