More Than Half of the Heaven-Stepping Token Fragments Have Been Gathered!
Elder Tianying raised his hand and waved it. The Mountain-Suppressing Ruler- Suppressing Ruler grew to several thousand feet in length amidst the wind and rain, carrying tens of millions of pounds of Earth Vein gravity, and slammed down hard on Chen Changqing's head!
The space collapsed layer by layer under the crushing weight of the ruler, emitting a piercing, mournful cry.
Faced with such a terrifying attack that could shatter an ordinary Late True Lord Stage, Chen Changqing remained calm.
The Twelve Primordial Spirits within his body were operating simultaneously.
The Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits unleashed Pure Yang Sword Qi, Three Great Star Primordial Spirits drew down starlight from the sky.
Chen Changqing raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture.
Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
The assassination Supreme Lore originally belonging to the Yinyue Holy Dynasty were transformed into something magical in his hands, infused with pure and Invincible Sword Intent.
An extremely fine black sword line shot out from the fingertip.
The moment that sword line appeared, the light in the entire world suddenly dimmed.
Click!
The Mountain-Suppressing Ruler, which was thousands of feet long and weighed tens of thousands of pounds, was neatly cut in two like soft tofu the moment it touched the black sword line!
Fragments of Quasi-Immortal Artifact fell from the sky, smashing several mountain peaks below.
The black sword line continued its momentum, piercing through the Xuanwu Black Tortoise Faxiang behind Elder Tianying in an instant.
The massive, solid Faxiang collapsed with a roar, turning into countless blue light spots.
Elder Tianying was struck as if by a heavy blow; a fist-sized hole exploded in his chest, and he was sent flying thousands of feet away, spitting out blood incessantly.
"How is that possible?!"
Elder Tianying was disheveled and looked horrified.
Despite his own cultivation Half-Step Heavenly Monarch, honed over thousands of years, and the aid of Quasi-Immortal Artifact Law Treasure, he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent!
The other party didn't even draw the sword at his waist!
Monster!
This is not the combat power Late True Lord Stage!
Chen Changqing flashed and appeared in front of Elder Tianying, traversing the void.
His right hand formed a claw and gripped Elder Tianying's skull.
A terrifying devouring force erupted from his palm, forcefully suppressing all the protective True Essence surging within Elder Tianying's body back into the depths of his Dantian.
Elder Tianying's limbs were limp, and he was being held in mid-air by Chen Changqing with one hand, unable to move even a finger.
The shadow of death instantly enveloped him.
Young Sect Master... have mercy!
Elder Tianying pleaded for mercy with great difficulty.
"I am a powerful elder of the True Martial Immortal Sect Inner Sect... Killing me will surely create a rift between our two sects!"
"If you spare my life, I will never reveal a word of what happened today to the sect, and I will offer up all the treasures of the Zhengyang Sect!"
Chen Changqing's expression was indifferent.
"I never leave any loose ends when I do things."
"In your next life, be more discerning and don't mess with just anyone."
Soul-Searching Technique!
Chen Changqing Divine Sense broke through Elder Tianying's Sea of Consciousness defenses with his divine sense, and rudely flipped through the other party's recent memories.
Chen Changqing had a complete grasp of the secrets of the Zhengyang Sect, the location of their hidden treasure trove, and the secret outposts of the True Martial Immortal Sect in the Northern Territory.
A moment later.
A crisp snapping sound.
Chen Changqing unleashed a palm strike that shattered Elder Tianying's meridians and Sea of Consciousness Purple Mansion.
Before the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch's Primordial Spirit could escape his physical body, it was directly shredded into nothingness by the invincible Sword Qi.
Elder Tianying's life force was extinguished, and his body limply fell into the ruins below.
Chen Changqing raised his hand and drew the Storage Ring on Elder Tianying's finger into his palm, then withdrew his domain.
The entire Zhengyang Sect fell completely silent.
Standing at a distance, Ye Ling stared blankly at the white-robed figure in the sky, her mind a complete blank.
That was a super-powerful figure at the Half-Step Heavenly Monarch level!
They are all high-ranking elders in the True Martial Immortal Sect, and their mere presence can shake the entire Northern Territory.
However, in Chen Changqing's hands, it was so easily wiped out.
Chen Changqing descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Ling.
"Lead the way to the sect's treasury at the Zhengyang Sect Gate."
Ye Ling suddenly woke up and quickly bowed to accept the order.
"Yes! Young Sect Master, please follow me!"
Guided by the route obtained through soul searching, the two passed through a ruin and arrived at the entrance of a hidden Earth Palace in the back mountain of the Zhengyang Sect.
The array and restrictions on the gate of the Earth Palace had long since become ineffective with the death of the True Lord Liehuo.
Chen Changqing kicked the heavy Black Iron gate to pieces.
A dazzling light instantly filled the entire Earth Palace.
As a local tyrant who had plundered the Northern Territory for hundreds of years, Zhengyang Sect's Earth Palace contained an astonishing amount of wealth.
The Top-Grade Spirit Stones were piled up like mountains, amounting to tens of millions.
Thousands of jade boxes were filled with various spirit medicine that were over a thousand years old, and dozens of high-level Spirit Treasures and materials for Quasi-Immortal Artifacts were displayed on the shelves around the room.
Chen Changqing raised his hand and waved it, Heaven-Stepping Ring to flash with light, directly plundering most of the Spirit Stones and high-level resources in the Earth Palace.
Then, Chen Changqing turned to look at Ye Ling.
"The remaining resources are enough for you to cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm."
"The masterminds Zhengyang Sect have all been executed; your great revenge has been achieved."
"Keep this Jade Talisman safe."
Chen Changqing tossed over a cyan jade plaque engraved with the Mount Shu Sword Pattern.
"If you encounter a life-or-death crisis in the future, you can use this talisman to seek protection at Mount Shu."
Ye Ling took the Jade Talisman with both hands, pressed it tightly to her chest, and then knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing three times.
"I will never forget the Young Sect Master's kindness in saving Ye Ling!"
Chen Changqing didn't say much. He turned around and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.
After dealing with the matters at the Zhengyang Sect, Chen Changqing returned to Separation Fire City.
The city remained as bustling as ever, with no one aware that the dominant sect thousands of miles away had been annihilated in just half an hour.
Chen Changqing walked straight into the teleportation hall.
After he presented a large amount of High-grade Spirit Stones, the guarding Cultivator became extremely respectful and immediately activated the inter-domain teleportation array leading to the northern part of Central Province for him.
Buzz!
A massive pillar of spatial light shot into the sky.
The intense dizziness vanished in an instant, and with the closing of the void passage, Chen Changqing's figure completely disappeared from Separation Fire City.
Inside the spatial teleportation channel.
Chen Changqing sat cross-legged inside the Void Shuttle, his Divine Sense sinking into the storage space.
The Fifth Heaven-Stepping Token, obtained from Ye Ling, was quietly floating in the void.
Chen Changqing took out the original four fragments of the Token.
Buzz!
The moment the five bronze Tokens touched, they emitted a dazzling bronze glow.
The patterns on each piece quickly meshed together, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.
The original palm-sized fragment of the Token began to melt, transforming into a mysterious bronze liquid that reshaped itself in the void.
A moment later, a more complete and ancient-looking phantom of a seal solidified in the void.
Most of the Heaven-Stepping Token Fragment have been gathered!
An even more vast and immense understanding of the Cultivation Method surged into Chen Changqing's Sea of Consciousness like a river bursting its banks.
On the system panel, the Idle Cultivation efficiency of "Invincible Immortal Ascension Technique" has increased dramatically once again.
The Twelve Primordial Spirits that were originally somewhat illusory in the Sea of Consciousness became more condensed under the nourishment of this enlightenment, and the Dao Marks flowing on their bodies became clearer and deeper.
Deep within his body, the Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art operated spontaneously, with faint thunderous sounds emanating from his bones.
