Chapter 3646 The White-Robed Taoist

"boom--"

As the crimson sword energy struck, the body of the Great Dream Heavenly Lord shattered instantly.

Followed by.

The void before them crumbled inch by inch, vanishing without a trace in just a few breaths.

Until this moment.

Shen Changqing then realized that he was still inside Yangxin Residence and had not taken a single step out.

at the same time.

Outside the gate of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

The white-robed Taoist coughed up blood, his pupils widened, and his face showed extreme horror.

"No...it's impossible!!"

He never expected that the Great Dream Heavenly Monarch Dharma Form he had painstakingly cultivated would be no match for a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

But the next breath.

The white-robed Taoist's eyes lost their divine light, and the look of horror on his face froze, leaving him completely lifeless.

Just as the white-robed Taoist priest perished, Shen Changqing also appeared here.

"metropolitan!"

The disciple responsible for guarding the mountain gate suddenly came to his senses, glanced at the white-robed Taoist, and then respectfully bowed to Shen Changqing.

Shen Changqing waved his hand: "I will handle this matter myself. You may go now."

"Yes!"

The disciple dared not say anything more and immediately turned and left.

at the same time.

Shen Changqing then looked at the white-robed Taoist in front of him.

Although the opponent's life force has been cut off, the powerful energy of blood and qi has not completely dissipated.

This feeling.

It was as if the opponent's soul had been wiped out by an unparalleled power, but their physical body had not completely perished.

But actually.

The soul is the very foundation of a cultivator.

His soul was annihilated.

The cultivator would then perish on the spot.

In this world, unless there are some very special beings who can survive even after losing their souls, such beings are extremely rare.

such as--

The Black Demon Gods of the heavens were once like this.

However, the Black Demon God Clan was not conceived through normal means. Instead, it was a special race that was born by chance, relying on the power of the fallen Primordial Immortal Emperor.

Under these special conditions, the Black Demon Gods were able to survive even without a divine soul.

However, this characteristic cannot continue indefinitely.

When a member of the Black Demon God Clan breaks through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, they will still develop a divine soul, just like other cultivators.

Therefore.

Strictly speaking, the soul is the source of a cultivator's vitality.

Therefore, the physical body before us may appear immortal, but in reality, it has already perished long ago.

However, cultivators at this level, even if they perish, can normally maintain their physical bodies for a long time without decay or decay.

"The Yellow Millet Cult!"

Shen Changqing's face was icy cold.

Even though the white-robed Taoist had perished, he could understand that the opponent's strength was extraordinary.

Judging from the residual aura left by the opponent, the opponent was at least a Longevity Half-Saint of the Fifth or even Sixth Tribulation.

otherwise.

It is absolutely impossible for the other party to infiltrate the Xuantian Dao Sect silently and trap themselves in an illusion.

pity.

The white-robed Taoist had calculated everything, but he hadn't anticipated the existence of the Soul-Destroying Sword.

Now, Shen Changqing is also aware of this.

The Dharma form of the Great Dream Heavenly Lord was probably conceived from the opponent's divine soul power.

However, the power of the Soul-Destroying Sword was too strong. It not only killed the Dharma Image of the Great Dream Heavenly Lord, but also caused the other party to perish on the spot.

to be frank.

Shen Changqing had not expected that the Huangliang Cult's retaliation would come so quickly.

It was assumed that with various forces besieging the Huangliang Cult, the other side wouldn't have the resources to do anything else.

But now it seems.

Shen Changqing realized that he had been making some assumptions.

The Huangliang Cult's desire for revenge was stronger than they had imagined.

Think about this.

Shen Changqing looked at the white-robed Taoist's corpse before him, and then summoned the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram, turning it into nourishment for this supreme treasure.

next interest.

The aura of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram was extremely strong.

A smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the blood-red array plate appeared in the chaotic void in an instant.

Soon.

The military calamity descended.

The Immortal Extinction Array Diagram has finally faced its final tribulation as an Emperor Immortal Artifact.

The power of the ninth military coup was incomparable to that of the previous eight.

Such a military calamity is comparable to the calamity of a primordial imperial weapon.

"The Yellow Millet Cult has saved me a lot of trouble this time. If they hadn't contributed the flesh and blood of a half-saint, it wouldn't have been so easy to get the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram to survive the ninth tribulation."

Shen Changqing smiled faintly.

A half-saint's flesh and blood, especially one that appears to be a half-saint of the fourth or fifth tribulation or higher, would be a great tonic for the Immortal Extermination Array Diagram.

To know.

The advancement of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram is actually nothing more than killing living beings, devouring their life force, and refining and absorbing the killing aura within them.

An existence of this caliber is equivalent to hundreds of millions of living beings.

and so.

Advancing the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram is, of course, an easy task.

Such a commotion has attracted attention from all sides.

When they saw the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram, their initial fervor instantly cooled down.

"The Immortal Annihilation Formation Diagram!"

"This is the ninth calamity of war!!"

"Emperor-level artifacts capable of withstanding nine tribulations are rare even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It seems this Profound Heaven Sword Master is about to acquire another top-tier treasure..."

They are envious of the ancient things that exist there.

Nine Tribulations Emperor Immortal Artifact!

Even ordinary top-tier Nine Tribulation Emperor Immortal Artifacts are comparable to true Innate Emperor Weapons.

What's more.

The Immortal Extinction Array Diagram is unmatched by ordinary Emperor-level artifacts.

The reputation of these supreme weapons of slaughter has been quite renowned since ancient times.

Having now undergone nine military tribulations, its power is destined to be much stronger than that of an ordinary innate imperial weapon.

But the thought of the owner behind this treasure extinguished the thoughts in the minds of these ancient beings.

News of the battle in the Eastern Abyss Region.

Now the news has spread.

Many powerful figures knew that Shen Changqing had severely injured the Chongwang, a second-stage half-saint, and killed the leader of the Huangliang Divine Sect.

If you really want to talk about it.

Many powerful figures who aspire to immortality may not have as much blood on their hands as the blood of a half-saint as this person.

If you really count them, the number of half-saints who fell at the hands of this Xuan Tian Sword Master is no less than the number you can count on one hand.

To be honest, the other party's reputation was built on the bones of many semi-saints.

Faced with such a powerful figure, who wouldn't be wary?

Soon.

The war has ended.

The Immortal Extinction Array Diagram fell back into Shen Changqing's hands.

At this moment, the terrifying killing aura within the blood-red array plate seemed to have completely dissipated, and the enormous treasure appeared to have returned to its original state.

But when Shen Changqing's divine sense entered it, he saw the blood-red array plate vibrate, and an extremely powerful killing intent suddenly erupted, seemingly able to pierce through the nine heavens. Furthermore, the phantom of the killing immortal sword was born.

"Good, good, good. With the advancement to the Ninth Tribulation level, the power of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram has been greatly enhanced."

"If such a treasure had existed during the battle in the Eastern Abyss Region, that Demon King might not have had a chance to escape!"

Feeling the power of the Immortal Annihilation Array Diagram before him, Shen Changqing's face was full of smiles.

Despite having survived nine tribulations, the Immortal Extinction Formation Diagram is at most slightly stronger than an ordinary first-grade innate imperial weapon, seemingly inadequate against a second-tribulation half-saint.

but.

Whether a treasure is powerful or not depends on who wields it.

Even if an ordinary Immortal Emperor possessed the Immortal Annihilation Array Diagram, he would still be no match for a true Half-Saint.

in contrast.

With the Nine Tribulations level Immortal Extinction Array Diagram in Shen Changqing's hands, he would have the confidence to fight against even a First Tribulation Half-Saint, let alone a Second Tribulation Half-Saint or even a Third Tribulation Half-Saint.

After all.

How much power a supreme treasure can unleash actually depends entirely on the cultivator himself.

Let's take another example.

It's like a Soul-Destroying Sword.

In Jiuye's hands, such a treasure could easily kill a Dao Venerable Realm being, but the power he could unleash was far inferior to that of the former.

so.

The advancement of the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram has further enhanced Shen Changqing's strength.

external force!

That's part of their strength.

at this time.

Shen Changqing was eager to find a Chaos Spirit Embryo.

After all, having broken through to the Ninth Tribulation level, the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram has reached the limit of an Emperor Immortal artifact. If it cannot obtain the Chaos Spirit Embryo, there is no possibility of further advancement for such a supreme treasure.

Even if Shen Changqing reforged the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram later, the reforged Immortal Extinction Array Diagram would only be considered a brand new innate imperial weapon, and it would probably have little to do with the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram before him.

To reiterate, the most powerful aspect of the Immortal Extermination Array Diagram is its Immortal Extermination Sword Array.

If one can obtain the Chaos Spirit Embryo, and the Immortal Extinction Array Diagram is upgraded to an Innate Emperor Weapon in the future, then the Immortal Extinction Sword Array can also truly transform into a killing array at the half-saint level.

But if it's recast, that's a different story.

At least.

So far.

Shen Changqing had not yet truly grasped many of the mysteries of the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation.

Moreover, now that it has been upgraded to a Nine Tribulation Emperor Immortal Artifact, the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation has also undergone a transformation. To some extent, the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation at this moment can actually be regarded as a half-saint level killing formation.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing then summoned twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords.

After surviving the ninth calamity, the twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords underwent a significant transformation.

Originally, each of the Immortal-Slaying Swords could only be considered a high-grade Emperor Immortal Artifact.

But now.

Every single one of these Immortal-Slaying Swords is truly among the top-grade Emperor Immortal Artifacts.

The twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords and the array diagram, when combined to form the complete Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, are enough to cause a half-saint to bleed.

Shen Changqing flicked his finger, and twelve Immortal-Slaying Swords rose into the air, instantly forming a small Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Now, depending on Shen Changqing's changing mind, the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation can be made large or small.

When it was big.

It can even cover the entire Divine Heaven Domain.

If it is small, it can be contained within a small space.

Of course.

The larger the range of the formation, the greater the energy consumption.

If the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation were to cover the entire Divine Heaven Domain, even with Shen Changqing's current resources, it would probably be too much for him to sustain for an extended period.

Looking at the killing formation in the small space before him, Shen Changqing could see and feel the killing power within it.

And the moment the Immortal Extinction Sword Formation was formed.

Throughout the entire Xuantian Dao Sect, every cultivator felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, as if they were being watched by a terrifying being, and a great sense of terror surged into their hearts.

half an hour.

Shen Changqing moved his divine sense again, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation instantly dissipated, along with the chilling aura. (End of Chapter)
