It could only be seen—
Chen Changqing slowly raised his hand, his five fingers spread loosely, and lightly pressed toward the three killing moves sweeping down like an overwhelming tide.
At once!
Rumble—
Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion.
A phantom giant hand that towered over the heavens slammed fiercely toward the three Saint King Realm experts ahead.
The next moment, a scene that made everyone in the Blood God Palace's scalps go numb unfolded.
The blood-red war spear, capable of piercing through stars, exploded into fragments without the slightest resistance the instant it entered within three feet of Chen Changqing... Then, it swiftly transformed into the most primordial spiritual energy and was swallowed whole by the bottomless Chaos Qi within Chen Changqing.
As for the ten-thousand-foot blood wave, the instant it struck Chen Changqing's palm seal, it was as though it had crashed into an invisible dam and could not advance even a fraction farther.
The twisted vengeful souls within the sea of blood let out even more shrill wails.
They frantically recoiled, as if they had encountered their natural predator.
Before Chen Changqing's Chaos Qi, that sea of blood was devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Ancient Bronze Mirror, a Dao artifact of high-grade Saint rank, did not last even a second before terrifying cracks appeared across its surface.
As for the Blood God Immortal-Binding Rope, said to be capable of trapping Saint Emperors, it was directly seized by Chen Changqing's giant hand, like a venomous snake caught by the throat.
With a sharp crack!
The rope was crushed into powder on the spot...
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
The three Blood God Palace Saint King Realm experts suffered a massive backlash from the destruction of their Dao weapons. They were sent flying backward, vomiting blood...
No one had expected—
The full-force combined attack of three Saint King Realm experts, together with the joint suppression of three high-grade Saint-rank Dao artifacts—
Would be wiped out completely by Chen Changqing with a single palm.
It was even easier than eating or drinking!
Chen Changqing withdrew his hand as though he had merely done something insignificant.
His gaze fell upon Xue Wuyou again, and the teasing smile at the corner of his mouth remained.
"Your protectors don't seem very impressive, do they?"
However—
While everyone in the Blood God Palace was still immersed in the shock of seeing three Saint King Realm elders defeated by one palm.
Xue Wuyou had already reacted at the very first moment.
He did not hesitate in the slightest, nor did he spare the three elders sent flying a single glance.
The moment Chen Changqing withdrew his hand, Xue Wuyou had already reached into his robes and taken out a blood-red jade talisman.
The jade talisman was only palm-sized, yet it radiated an ancient aura that made one's heart tremble, as though something incomparably terrifying had been sealed within.
"Ancestor, please take action!"
Xue Wuyou crushed the jade talisman fiercely and roared toward the sky.
With a sharp crack!
The instant the jade talisman shattered, a pillar of blood-colored light shot into the heavens, dyeing the entire starry sky a dark crimson.
The pressure contained within that pillar of light was so terrifying that the cultivators aboard all seven Blood God Palace warships fell to their knees in unison, finding even breathing incomparably difficult.
Only after doing all that did Xue Wuyou glare fiercely at Lin Yue Ru.
Just as expected!
This damned bitch was not so easy to kill.
In this life, he had laid down Heaven's Net, dispatched three Saint King Realm experts, and even personally made his move as a reborn man. Yet she had still escaped here and even brought out the Chen Family's invincible divine son.
In his previous life, he had needed to deal with Lin Yue Ru's endless escape methods, leaving him with no spare energy to pay attention to the legendary Divine Son Changqing.
He only knew that Chen Changqing had been an invincible figure who swept through his generation a million years ago, and that he later forged a tremendous reputation in the Great Desolate Realm. Yet he had never personally witnessed his strength.
Only now, after seeing it with his own eyes, did he realize just how outrageously wrong he had been.
With the cultivation of the Great Sage Realm, Chen Changqing had shattered the joint suppression of three Saint King Realm experts with one palm. Such combat power could no longer be described merely as monstrous.
No wonder he had slaughtered until the prodigies of all races fell utterly silent a million years ago!
No wonder the Chen Family had regarded him as their sole hope and sealed him within Divine Source for a million years.
With such talent, it would truly be too great a pity if he could not attain the Dao and become immortal!
"A miscalculation."
Xue Wuyou clenched his teeth, a deep wariness flashing through his eyes.
Still, fortunately, he had another card up his sleeve.
"Fortunately, to guard against any further unforeseen changes involving Lin Yue Ru, I specifically begged the ancestor for this Soul-Dividing Talisman."
He secretly rejoiced in his heart.
This talisman had been refined from the power of Blood Sea Ancestor's divine soul!
Whoever possessed this talisman could summon Blood Sea Ancestor to descend at any time.
Blood Sea Ancestor was a mighty expert at the ninth level of the Saint Emperor Realm. Unless a Quasi-Emperor personally arrived, no one could contend against him.
And as far as Xue Wuyou knew, Chen Haotian, the Chen Family's only Quasi-Emperor, had already reached the end of his strength and could not take action at all!
As for this Chen Changqing, no matter how monstrous he was, he was still only in the Great Sage Realm. Before Blood Sea Ancestor at the ninth level of the Saint Emperor Realm, he would ultimately have no choice but to be suppressed.
Even if those foundation elders of the Chen Family took action, they would absolutely be unable to do anything to Blood Sea Ancestor for a while.
Boom—
Just as Xue Wuyou was calculating inwardly, the blood-colored pillar of light soaring into the sky suddenly exploded.
Endless bloody radiance spread through the void, transforming into a vast sea of blood.
Countless vengeful souls churned within that sea of blood. Every single one radiated Sha Qi that made hearts tremble, as though the entire starry sky had been turned into an Asura hell.
At the very center of that sea of blood, an aged figure came walking over the waves.
He was a white-haired old man clad in a blood-red robe, his face withered like a skeleton. Only his eyes shone with astonishing brightness, like two burning blood moons.
With every step he took, the void around him collapsed another fraction. Even the laws of heaven and earth wailed and trembled beneath his feet.
Ninth level of the Saint Emperor Realm—Blood Sea Ancestor.
The moment he appeared, a terrifying Saint Emperor pressure swept in all directions like an overwhelming tide.
The cultivators aboard the seven Blood God Palace warships were no longer merely kneeling. Their entire bodies were pressed flat against the decks, unable to move even a finger.
Blood Sea Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back atop the sea of blood, his blood-moon eyes slowly sweeping across the scene.
He first glanced at Xue Wuyou, a trace of realization in his voice.
"No wonder you kept begging me for a Soul-Dividing Talisman. I thought you were making a mountain out of a molehill."
"Now, I believe everything you told me."
"There truly are people in this world protected by immense fortune. The fortune upon this girl is so strong that it is simply unheard of."
After saying that.
Blood Sea Ancestor's gaze fell upon Lin Yue Ru, a glint of interest flashing through his eyes.
"A mere ant not yet in the Transcendent Realm has actually escaped time and again from the hands of three Saint King Realm experts."
"I have cultivated for nearly ten thousand years, yet this is the first time I have seen something so bizarre."
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Afterward.
Blood Sea Ancestor shifted his gaze to Chen Changqing, and a flash of admiration passed through those blood-moon eyes.
"The invincible divine son from a million years ago is indeed remarkable."
"With the strength of the Great Sage Realm, you shattered three Saint King Realm experts with one palm. Such methods are truly somewhat inconceivable! You are worthy of the title of invincible divine son!"
His tone carried a lofty note of praise, as though he were evaluating a junior with considerable potential.
"The Chen Family has truly found a treasure in you."
"However—"
Blood Sea Ancestor abruptly changed his tone, and his blood-moon eyes suddenly became incomparably sharp.
He took a step forward, and the sea of blood around him churned.
The pressure of the ninth level of the Saint Emperor Realm bore down upon Chen Changqing like the collapse of heaven and the shattering of earth.
"Before me, everything ends he—"
Before he could finish speaking.
Thud!
A dull sound interrupted Blood Sea Ancestor's words.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone present.
This peerless powerhouse at the ninth level of the Saint Emperor Realm, this Blood Sea Ancestor who had made the entire starry sky tremble, unexpectedly dropped to his knees in the void without any warning.
His knees smashed heavily into the void, sending out two visible ripples. The haughty expression still lingered on his withered old face, but it had now completely turned into bewilderment and shock.
At the same time.
Chen Changqing's calm voice drifted out, as though he were instructing someone to do something insignificant.
"Kneel properly when you speak!"
