"You actually... destroyed my soul with one palm?"
He whispered to himself, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Although the split soul is only a small part of the main body, it is still essentially a Hundun Saint Emperor level existence.
Even if you encounter a strong person in the same realm, you will never be defeated easily, let alone be immobilized like "Words Become Law"!
You must know that the split soul of Hundun Saint Emperor also contains part of the original law. To suppress it, you need at least the strength of the same realm, and it takes a lot of energy.
But not only did the other party do it, he also killed him with one palm so easily that he didn't even have a chance to separate his soul and self-destruct to send the message!
"What a terrifying strong man!"
Shangguan Yan's expression became extremely solemn, his brows furrowed tightly, and his fingers clenched unconsciously.
He could vaguely capture the unfathomable aura of Ye Chen through the last perception of the split soul.
The aura seemed plain, but it was as deep as the sea, making him, Hundun Saint Emperor, feel insignificant.
"Even if I come in person... I'm afraid I may not be his opponent."
This thought made his heart sink, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
In his many years of experience, he had never felt so unsure about anyone, but when faced with an existence that could easily suppress and kill his soul, he had the idea of being "invincible" for the first time.
This is also the reason why he killed him directly without his real body.
Because, even if his true body tears through the void and kills him at this moment, the lingering premonition in his heart is still reminding him that there is a high probability that he will not be the opponent's opponent.
He has always had absolute confidence in his own strength, but in the face of such an unfathomable and powerful enemy, his rationality firmly suppressed his impulse, and he would never foolishly send him to his door and let himself fall into Ten Thousand Tribulations Beyond Redemption.
With his Hundun Saint Emperor cultivation level, as long as he has a thought, fine ripples will appear in the space around him.
In the next moment, you can cross the endless distance and reach the place where Ye Chen is in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, the steps that should have been taken without hesitation seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, without even the slightest courage to move!
If these words spread, I am afraid that everyone will find it ridiculous and even fall off the futon in retreat in shock.
Dignified Hundun Saint Emperor, how could a being standing at the top of the pyramid of the cultivation world have such a deep sense of fear for a person?
But at this moment, this fear sank in his heart like a cold pool, too clear to be ignored. He really didn't dare to reveal his true form and cause trouble for Ye Chen!
At the same time, Shangguan Yan suddenly woke up, causing a commotion that was earth-shattering.
The sudden burst of Hundun Saint Emperor's aura exploded like thunder throughout the entire Shangguan Household Clan territory.
Both the elders guarding the mountain gate and the disciples taking care of family affairs clearly sensed this fluctuation, and the entire family instantly fell into an uproar.
Several Hundun Saint Emperor experts who were concentrating on practicing in the secret room and trying to achieve higher realms were also forcibly awakened by this breath of anxiety and hostility.
The halo of cultivation surrounding them suddenly collapsed, and their eyes were full of displeasure and surprise at having their cultivation interrupted.
Deep in the territory of Shangguan Household, an octagonal attic made entirely of black jade stands quietly. The interior of the attic is empty and hot, with a bronze alchemy furnace suspended in the center.
This alchemy furnace is quite huge, tens of meters high. The furnace body is carved with complex flame runes, and a faint golden halo flows between the runes.
Red flames were rolling at the mouth of the furnace, and there were traces of purple-gold sparks mixed in the flames. The temperature escaping was even more terrifying to the extreme.
The air seemed to be roasted and distorted, and the jade floor in the attic was glowing with a burning shimmer.
Even if an ordinary Hunyuan Divine Emperor-level powerhouse steps into this place, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold even a breath, and his body and soul will be roasted alive by the high temperature!
But right in the center of the flames that could burn everything, there was a skinny figure sitting cross-legged.
He was wearing a coarse cloth robe that had been scorched black by the flames, and his skin was burned red, as if it would melt in the next second.
But it was as if he couldn't feel the burning heat. He still closed his eyes to rest, his brows stretched, and his expression was as calm as if he was in a cool mountain spring.
This person is one of the ancestors of Shangguan Household, and Shangguan Qing has already firmly stepped into the Hundun Saint Emperor Realm's strength.
On weekdays, he uses this alchemy furnace that can simulate Hundun Fire Domain as a training vessel, using extreme high temperatures to temper his physical body and soul.
But just now, Shangguan Yan's out-of-control aura broke through his cultivation barrier and woke him up from his deep retreat.
"Shangguan Yan? What kind of evil fire did this boy eat today to make such a big fuss?"
In the flames, the thin figure slowly opened his eyes, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his skinny right hand and pushed it forward gently.
That seemingly powerless movement, with an irresistible Power of Hundun, directly lifted the lid of the heavy alchemy furnace.
Immediately afterwards, he swayed and walked out of the rolling flames, with a few wisps of red flames still lingering around his body.
The flames were like molten magma, flowing down his robes and dripping onto the jade floor, making a harsh "sizzling" sound and emitting bursts of white smoke.
In just a moment, the flames burned through the hard black jade floor, creating a large black hole. At the bottom of the hole, you could even see traces of the rock formations below being baked red.
This thin figure is none other than Shangguan Qing.
In Shangguan Household, he exists like a magic needle that fixes the sea.
When the family was in crisis, it was he who turned the tide and killed powerful enemies.
Later, when the family expanded its power, he also sat in the rear, intimidating Xiaoxiao everywhere.
It can be said that Shangguan Household Clan can achieve such glory across the digital domain today, and the contribution of Shangguan Qing cannot be ignored!
After Shangguan Qing came out of seclusion, he didn't stop at all. Power of Hundun surged around his body slightly, and then he rushed towards the main hall where Shangguan Yan was.
But in an instant, he appeared at the entrance of the hall, and at a glance he saw Shangguan Yan, who was pale and had disordered breathing.
"Shangguan Yan, what on earth do you want to do when you are so startled today? Do you know how many people you have disturbed during their cultivation?!"
Shangguan Qing frowned, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone. His voice was not loud, but it fell like a heavy hammer in the hall, making the surrounding air seem to freeze a bit.
Hearing this familiar voice, Shangguan Yan was shocked, and quickly raised his head to look at Shangguan Qing. His originally tense expression was a little more panicked, and a little more dependent. "Uncle Qing, I didn't expect to wake you up... It's just that I just encountered a big event, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while, so I made such a big noise!"
Shangguan Qing heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and the dissatisfaction on his face was instantly replaced by surprise. "You can't even control your emotions?"
He knows Shangguan Yan too well.
As a strong person who has already been promoted to Hundun Saint Emperor, Shangguan Yan has a calm mind. Even if the sky is falling, he can still remain calm and will never let trivial matters like sesame seeds and mung beans disturb his mind.
"What happened to make you so messed up?!"
To be able to make a Hundun Saint Emperor so uneasy that he loses control is enough to show that what Shangguan Yan encountered was definitely not as simple as "big". I'm afraid it has touched the bottom line of the family's safety!
Shangguan Yan did not dare to hide anything. After taking a deep breath, he told the story of how his soul was cut off and Young Master Shangguan was killed.
Not even the details of how the other party was able to immobilize his own soul with just the word "fix" were not left out.
When Shangguan Qing heard "Young Master Shangguan was killed", his face only moved slightly, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
Although he is the leader among the younger generations of the family, in Hundun Saint Emperor's eyes, the death of a monk who has not yet grown up is not enough to move him too much.
But when he heard "the murderer is also a Hundun Saint Emperor" and even "Words Become Law fixed the Shangguan Yan's separated soul and easily scattered the separated soul", even an old monster like him who was used to seeing big winds and waves couldn't help but tremble fiercely, his eyes were filled with disbelief!
"What did you say?!"
Shangguan Qing's voice suddenly rose, even with a subtle tremor, "You mean, with just one word from his mouth, he made your Hundun Saint Emperor level soul unable to move?!"
At this moment, Shangguan Qing was really shocked.
He himself is also Hundun Saint Emperor, and he knows very well how difficult it is to achieve "Words Become Law".
Especially when faced with the existence of the same Hundun Saint Emperor, even if it is just a ray of divided soul, its origin also contains the protection of Hundun Principle. It is simply impossible to pin it down with just one word!
After all, although the split soul is weak, its origin is still at the Hundun Saint Emperor level. The power of the law has long been integrated into the soul core, and it cannot be shaken by ordinary means.
If it had been him, Shangguan Qing, who had taken action himself and tried his best, he would never have been able to achieve such an easy and crushing level!
But the other party did it, and did it so easily.
This is enough to show that the person who killed Young Master Shangguan and beheaded the soul of Shangguan Yan was far more powerful than Shangguan Qing, and may have even touched a higher level of law!
Offending a Hundun Saint Emperor who is more powerful than himself is not good news for Shangguan Household.
Shangguan Qing's brows knitted into a knot, and a strong uneasiness arose in his heart.
If the other party is a crazy and murderous person, or a person with a strong desire for revenge, once he has a grudge against Shangguan Household, he will definitely try his best to get revenge.
These Hundun Saint Emperor ancestors are powerful in their own right, so naturally they don't have to worry about suffering losses.
But the Shangguan Household Clan family has a great business, with children within the family spread across several domains, and there are countless industries and strongholds outside that depend on the family for survival.
If people don't confront them head-on, they will focus on attacking the clansmen outside, or secretly destroy the family's industry and cut off the family's resource line.
Even if they have extraordinary abilities, they cannot protect everyone and every property at any time and at any time.
At that time, the family will only slowly decline amid endless losses!
This news hit Shangguan Qing like a huge stone in his heart.
A strange Hundun Saint Emperor with unfathomable strength has formed a deadly feud with his family. This is undoubtedly a huge bad news for the Shangguan Household Clan who has been around for countless years!
Shangguan Qing's fingers unconsciously rubbed the cuffs, his eyes were extremely solemn. After a moment, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and cautiously asked, "What does that person look like? Is he the Hundun Saint Emperor we know?"
He was making plans in his mind.
Shangguan Household Clan has been operating in the Formless Divine Kingdom field for tens of thousands of years, and its contacts have spread across countless stars and universes.
Whether they are the leaders of the major forces, the top experts among casual cultivators, or the ancient Saint Emperor who hides in the world, most of them have interacted with each other, and many of them even owe Shangguan Household favors.
If the other party is someone they know, even if they have no friendship in the past, as long as they can find a friend that both parties are familiar with to connect them, or if there is someone in the other party's network who has a good relationship with Shangguan Household, there is still room for change.
When the time comes, you only need to prepare generous gifts and ask someone to mediate and make peace. Even if you have to pay some price, you can easily resolve the conflict that can destroy the family.
Shangguan Yan naturally understood what Uncle Qing was thinking. He looked at the gloomy sky outside the palace, his face full of helplessness, and sighed heavily, "Uncle Qing, I have carefully noted the appearance of the other party - he is wearing a plain white robe, and his face is a bit young. Too much, his temperament is as cold as ice that has not melted for thousands of years. I have searched through all the portraits and memories of Hundun Saint Emperor that I know in my mind, but I have never seen this person, and I have never even heard of such a young top powerhouse."
"Unfamiliar face?"
Hearing these four words, Shangguan Qing's brows that had just relaxed suddenly turned into knots, and the wrinkles on his forehead became a little deeper. "Could it be that he is not a local monk of our Formless Divine Kingdom, but an outsider who crossed over from other divine countries?"
The moment he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly grasp a glimmer of hope. His tense shoulders relaxed slightly and his eyes brightened a bit. "If it is really an outsider, then don't worry too much. No matter how strong he is, he is still alone and will never dare to face us Shangguan Household. Confront! Speaking more broadly, we Shangguan Household have been operating in the Formless Divine Kingdom for countless years and have long been one of the core forces under His Majesty Saint Emperor. What we represent is also the face of the Formless Divine Kingdom!"
At the end, Shangguan Qing's voice suddenly rose, with an unquestionable confidence. "He, an outsider, dares to kill our Shangguan Household people and cut off our souls in the land of the Formless Divine Kingdom. If this is If the word spreads, it will be a slap in the face of His Majesty Saint Emperor! Even if he has the courage, he would not dare to really fight with us - after all, a strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snake! No matter how powerful the character is, he must behave when he comes to our Formless Divine Kingdom territory!"
As these words came out, Shangguan Qing's frown finally relaxed a little, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall seemed to relax a bit.
He looked at Shangguan Yan with a bit of comfort in his tone, "Don't be too panicked. As long as he is an outsider, he won't cause any big trouble. Next, let's find out his origin and purpose first, and then find a way to deal with him!!!"
