"I refuse to believe you can truly be this powerful!"
Jue Shendao roared, his blood and qi surging like an ocean, piercing the heavens. It was as if the Martial God of bygone days had descended anew; all the myriad laws of heaven and earth were kneaded together by him and hurled forth as the strongest strike of the Martial Immortal Scripture.
The starry sky shuddered.
Vast galactic systems seemed on the brink of total collapse before this one blow.
The Cyan Emperor’s expression grew solemn as an ocean of blood and qi likewise emerged in the void. The phantom of a towering Divine Tree took root upon that ocean; in that instant all one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred apertures within his flesh trembled in unison, dazzling like stars.
"Break for me!"
He punched out with his right fist; all laws were wiped away, and even the Martial God’s phantom was blown apart in that instant.
Jue Shendao only felt a power of boundless terror surging straight toward him. All his blood and Gang Qi shattered in that moment, his Primordial Flesh Body cracked, and torrents of blood spilled across the Azure Sky.
"Impossible—how could you break my Martial Immortal Scripture?!"
Jue Shendao’s face changed drastically. The pain from the wounds on his body was nothing compared to the shock of what had just transpired.
The Martial Immortal Scripture had been created by the Immortal King of the Martial God Palace who once styled himself the Martial God. Though that Immortal King had already fallen, when the Martial God still walked the world, it was by relying on the Martial Immortal Scripture that he suppressed the four quarters, sweeping his realm with nearly no rivals.
Although Jue Shendao had not cultivated the Martial Immortal Scripture to its absolute pinnacle, it was more than enough for him to rampage unhindered among Quasi-Immortal Kings.
Yet this battle before his eyes—
—had struck a grievous blow to Jue Shendao’s Dao Heart.
To this.
The Cyan Emperor said nothing, merely continued his assault upon Jue Shendao. The power of the stellar apertures now converged as one; the towering Divine Tree rooted itself in the starry sky, drawing upon a seemingly endless stream of power.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The situation on the field had undergone a world-shaking reversal; Jue Shendao was being utterly suppressed by the Cyan Emperor, vast swathes of blood raining down. He was already not far from defeat and death.
Very soon.
When Jue Shendao took yet another punch from the Cyan Emperor, half his body blasted apart. This Palace Master of the Martial God Palace finally felt fear; he turned tail and fled outright, shooting toward the Path to Immortality.
Seeing this, the Cyan Emperor wished to intercept, but with Jue Shendao’s entire heart set on escape, he had no way to truly slay the man.
After all, when a Quasi-Immortal King truly flees for his life, it is extremely difficult for a peer of the same realm to bar his path.
Even so.
This battle.
Was enough to leave the Cyan Emperor quite satisfied.
During three thousand years in the Kunlun Divine Realm, he had observed the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree, comprehending the Dao Rhyme of the Divine Tree. He then awakened to the power of his own apertures and proceeded to open up all one hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred apertures throughout his body.
Each aperture was like a star, and within every star a Divine Tree phantom was nurtured.
This line of Secret Techniques.
The Cyan Emperor named it the Eternal Green Technique.
Eternal green.
It pursued a fleshly body that would never decay through the ages, power everlasting like an Ancient Tree forever verdant, ceaseless and unending.
This battle today.
Was the thorough verification of the Eternal Green Technique’s might.
On the other side.
As Jue Shendao fled in defeat, the other Upper Realm powerhouses could not help but feel despair.
No one had expected that a Quasi-Immortal King as mighty as Jue Shendao would still be no match for the Cyan Emperor, that he would be forcibly blasted into half a body and in the end driven to flee in disgrace.
If even a Quasi-Immortal King was not his opponent, how could the other cultivators possibly contend against him?
With the Cyan Emperor and Aoba unleashing their full strength, the Lower Realm shed its former decline, completely suppressing the Upper Realm powerhouses. The cultivators of the Cyan Yang Divine Court were all greatly heartened.
However.
As time passed.
More and more Upper Realm powerhouses arrived, and the offensive of the Cyan Yang Divine Court was gradually stifled.
Especially once further Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings from the Upper Realm joined the fray, all previous decline vanished.
"Boom!"
The void shattered.
A Semi-Saint stepped through the air, charging straight at the Cyan Emperor.
Seeing a powerhouse attack, the Cyan Emperor struck with a single punch. The power of all his stellar apertures fused as one, a force at its absolute peak, blasting that Semi-Saint tumbling through the air.
This was the overbearing nature of the Eternal Green Technique.
His battle with Jue Shendao had elevated the Cyan Emperor’s comprehension of the Eternal Green Technique to yet another level.
With this breakthrough in the Eternal Green Technique, the Cyan Emperor could truly evolve this Secret Technique to its pinnacle—every punch was equivalent to his peak state in full, naturally not something an ordinary powerhouse could withstand.
The Semi-Saint spat blood.
The Cyan Emperor’s power filled this Upper Realm expert with profound dread.
"This one is vicious—fellows, I beg your aid!"
Now he could no longer care about preserving face and could only cry out for help.
As he spoke.
He was again struck by the Cyan Emperor and vomited blood incessantly.
Though both sides stood at the same level of Semi-Saint and Quasi-Immortal King, the Cyan Emperor, who had comprehended and self-created the Eternal Green Technique, was truly terrifying. If one had to further divide this realm, then the Cyan Emperor had already ascended to the absolute pinnacle.
Even in comparison to an Immortal King, he was but a hair’s breadth away.
Very soon.
Several more Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings arrived.
Five powerhouses joining forces to besiege him brought immense pressure down upon the Cyan Emperor.
At this moment.
The army of the Cyan Yang Divine Court also arrived.
Billions of cultivators formed an Array and charged the many Upper Realm experts. Gu Fang, Ji Xuan, and the other Divine Court Elders likewise erupted with their full strength, battling the Upper Realm powerhouses until the starry sky ruptured.
"Perish!"
Shen Xue, clad in a long white palace dress, appeared like an Exiled Immortal. With a delicate wave of her hand, a long river seemed to sweep forth; any Upper Realm Immortal caught within that river immediately exuded the aura of late age.
In the next instant.
From above the starry sky, rolling Celestial Tribulations suddenly came crashing down.
"Impossible—how can my tribulation be descending now?!"
"No—"
These Upper Realm powerhouses struggling within the long river all showed eyes filled with terror.
A fifteenth-tier powerhouse must face a tribulation every thirty million years; if they can survive it, they gain another life, and may roam carefree for another thirty million years.
Yet.
Tribulations are hard to cross.
Each Tribulation Crossing requires perfect preparation.
Even so, the odds of truly surviving a tribulation remain less than one in a hundred.
Now.
The tribulation had abruptly descended, catching these powerhouses wholly unprepared.
Watching one mighty figure after another fall within the Celestial Tribulation, Shen Xue’s eyes brimmed with killing intent.
This was the might of the fifteenth tier of the Magic System.
The Time Law God.
A being at such a realm had already begun to touch upon the mysteries of time.
Any cultivator swept into the long river of time would have their lifespan savagely shortened, forcing their tribulation to descend ahead of schedule.
This scene.
In the eyes of the other Upper Realm powerhouses, made every gaze turned toward Shen Xue brim with fear. Their bodies instinctively retreated, terrified of being targeted by her.
After all—
Such a means of severing lifespan and forcing the tribulation to arrive early was simply too shocking and monstrous.
For Upper Realm Immortals, what they fear most is tribulation.
How many Immortals who were meant to live forever have perished within their tribulations?
Thus.
Seeing Shen Xue’s methods now, they all wished only to avoid her at all costs, terrified that their own tribulations might also be brought forth ahead of time.
