Chapter 3715 The Aura of the Primordial Mark

In the void.

Above an ancient star, there lies an ancient sacred mountain stretching across the heavens and earth.

Suddenly.

The sacred mountain trembled.

A terrifying and ancient aura revived, and a sound shook the entire wilderness.

"Ancient Mark... A cultivator dares to kill members of our Ancient God Clan! He's courting death!!!"

As rocks tumbled down, a towering figure, seemingly capable of supporting heaven and earth, rose to its feet, its face contorted with rage.

Xinglan's eyes flashed with killing intent. He had been asleep, but now that he sensed the presence of the Primordial Mark, the aura of his kin awakened him from his slumber.

Ancient Imprint!

That's something that only forms after members of the same clan have perished.

Each ancient mark represents the fall of an ancient god.

To know.

The ancient gods were few in number, hence the close relationships among them.

As an ancient being among the Primordial Gods, Xinglan could not ignore the existence of the Primordial Mark once he had noticed it.

soon.

Xinglan shattered the void with a single step, and her figure, which resembled a majestic divine mountain, vanished instantly.

At the same time.

Inside a celestial palace on the Void Divine Ship.

When Xinglan was reborn, Shen Changqing, who was in seclusion comprehending the True Martial Dao, suddenly opened his eyes.

As the immortal energy and blood flowed, a power so faint as to be almost imperceptible suddenly emerged.

Although these forces are weak, they seem to be drawn by some force and have become unusually active.

"Ancient Mark!"

Shen Changqing had almost forgotten about this matter.

After killing that ancient god, the ancient mark remained silent, and Shen Changqing eventually stopped paying attention to it.

Even so.

As his cultivation level increased, most of this ancient mark was erased.

If this continues at this rate, in a few more days, this ancient mark will completely disappear without a trace.

But now.

The sudden appearance of the ancient mark that was about to disappear must have a reason behind it.

Just then.

The void collapsed.

A terrifying power of Daoist energy descended, suppressing billions of miles of space, and the Void Divine Ship came to an instant stop.

Followed by.

A towering and majestic figure appeared, and an invisible, terrifying aura emanated from it, causing all the cultivators of the Xuantian Dao Sect to change their expressions drastically.

"Such a powerful aura!"

"Who is this...? They're probably up to no good!"

Even with the restrictions of the Void Divine Ship, such terrifying aura still made their blood, qi, and soul tremble.

no doubt.

The power of this being is absolutely beyond our ability to contend with.

Chu Junhe's expression was solemn as he gazed at the entity in the void, feeling an immense pressure wash over him.

Having traversed the void on this journey, the one currently before me is undoubtedly the strongest of all my opponents, without exception.

Only a handful of people, including Ji Yang, were able to recognize the other party's identity at a glance when they saw this being.

"The Primordial God Clan!"

Ye Yun uttered a few words, his expression extremely serious.

The being before them shared the same origin as the ancient god from back then.

the difference is.

The opponent's aura was more than ten times stronger than that of the ancient being who had taken a deep breath back then.

obviously.

Ancient gods of this level are far more than ordinary immortal emperors.

now.

Xinglan looked at the Void Divine Ship before her and slowly spoke, her voice causing the entire void to tremble.

"The aura of the Primordial Mark is right here. You ants dare to kill cultivators of my Primordial God Clan? You have no sense of mortality!"

The words were spoken in an instant.

Xinglan reached out with her right hand towards the Void Divine Ship, causing the vast chaotic void to tremble violently. The terrifying power of Daoist energy twisted and rippled, and the immense pressure seemed capable of crushing everything.

To the cultivators of the Xuantian Dao Sect, it seemed as if a shadow of death was looming over them, and every line on their right palm was as clearly visible as a mountain range.

But the next breath.

A figure in purple appeared out of thin air.

The opponent unleashed a punch, and the power of the Great Dao suddenly erupted. As the two forces collided violently, an extremely powerful wave swept across all directions.

Shen Changqing's body trembled slightly, and he took a few steps back imperceptibly. Looking at the other side, Xing Lan's huge body also trembled, and he couldn't help but take several steps back.

"Immortal Emperor!?"

Xinglan looked at the purple-robed cultivator in front of her, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock appeared on her usually calm face.

As a half-saint of the ancient gods, how could he not see through Shen Changqing's true nature?

The cultivator before me is clearly just an Immortal Emperor.

But the problem is...

These beings, who were like ants in the eyes of a demigod, made Xinglan feel a strong sense of threat.

The force of that punch, in particular, put him under immense pressure.

This moment.

Xinglan's nonchalance had vanished, replaced by solemnity.

The fact that a Celestial Emperor could possess the strength to pose a threat was even more astonishing than facing a Half-Saint directly.

On the other side, Shen Changqing looked at the towering, mountain-like figure, his expression unchanged.

"I have witnessed the strength of the Primordial Gods today; they are indeed extraordinary!"

Judging from the aura recorded by the Seven Profound Divine Tower, the ancient god in front of them is only at the First Tribulation Half Saint Realm.

But in fact...

The power of that punch put even Shen Changqing under pressure.

This level of strength is at least at the level of a Second Tribulation Half-Saint, and it is by no means an ordinary Second Tribulation Half-Saint.

the reason is simple.

Shen Changqing's original strength was enough to rival that of a Second Tribulation Half-Saint.

Later, he fought against many demigods in the Divine Tower Space and comprehended the True Martial Dao, thus undergoing a transformation in his strength.

Although he hadn't truly reached the level of a third-tribulation half-saint, Shen Changqing was confident that he could suppress most second-tribulation half-saints.

However, in his recent encounter with Xinglan, he had not been able to gain much of an advantage.

Just this one point.

This alone is enough to show that Mingxing Lan's strength is definitely not as simple as it seems.

"Your strength is also remarkable. To possess strength comparable to a half-saint at the Immortal Emperor realm, you are the most powerful Immortal Emperor I have ever seen in countless years."

Unfortunately, you dared to kill our people, and you have already met your end!

Xinglan suppressed her shock and immediately attacked Shen Changqing again.

As a member of the Primordial God Clan at the Half-Saint Realm, Xinglan possesses formidable talent and bloodline. Now, as she unleashes her full power, she draws upon the power of the Chaos Stars, creating an overwhelming force.

That's what I saw.

Without wasting words, Shen Changqing immediately took action, confronting Xinglan head-on with his own strength.

But before that.

With a flick of his sleeve, a mysterious force enveloped the Void Divine Ship, directly moving it away.

……

boom!

boom!!!

Both of them held nothing back, unleashing their full strength. Every strike they exchanged was enough to stir up the Great Dao River and shatter billions of miles of void.

This time.

Shen Changqing did not use any treasures or external forces, but relied entirely on his own foundation and the True Martial Dao to resist.

This was the first time he had gone all out since he had truly comprehended the True Martial Dao.

The Great Dao River stretched across the void, and Shen Changqing's every strike seemed to simplify the complex, appearing ordinary yet capable of manifesting the power of myriad paths.

Looking at Xinglan again, every move he made contained the immense power of the galaxy, capable of suppressing everything.

This battle.

The powerful fluctuations of energy naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the chaotic void.

When they turned their gazes toward them, they were secretly terrified.

"The Primordial God Clan... Who is the other one, who can actually contend with a half-saint level Primordial God Clan member with only the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor?!"

"That looks like a human. When did such a prodigy emerge from the human race?"

"Hiss, the ancient gods have a profound foundation and powerful bloodline, making them difficult to contend with among those of the same level."

Ancient gods at the First Tribulation Half-Saint realm could even fight against Second Tribulation Half-Saints—

These powerful beings from the chaos couldn't help but gasp as they watched this battle.

The power of the ancient gods is a well-known fact.

after all.

These races of beings are born with innate bloodlines.

If one breaks through to the Half-Saint Realm, there is also a chance to advance to the Primordial Royal Family and possess even more terrifying bloodline power.

Although the half-saint of the ancient god race before us is just an ordinary god being and not an ancient royal, his strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

After all, these ancient races have few members, but they are often incredibly powerful, and fighting against opponents of higher ranks is an almost innate advantage.

Who would have thought?

One day, the ancient gods will be known as the target of transcending ranks.

and.

It was still a battle between a Celestial Emperor and a Half-Saint.

Therefore, the shock they felt at the scene before them was unimaginable.

……

"Master's strength has become even greater!"

Ji Yang looked at the figures billions of miles away in the void. The fluctuations in the aura emanating from the battle made it difficult for him to breathe.

With Ji Yang's broad perspective, how could he not understand what the words "Ancient God Clan" represented?

Even if he were to one day reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, he wouldn't be confident he could contend with such ancient gods at the semi-saint level.

After all, the dividing line between an Immortal Emperor and a Half-Saint is not comparable to the dividing line between an Ancient Immortal and an Immortal Emperor.

Gu Qingyang's expression was extremely serious: "Junior Brother Ji, do you think Master has a chance of winning this battle?"

"Master will surely win this battle!"

Ji Yang answered without hesitation.

He knew very well that Shen Changqing had more to offer than just this.

If the opponent were to truly use their trump card, this ancient god of the First Tribulation Half-Saint level would be no match for Shen Changqing.

However, it seems that this master has no intention of using his trump card. On the contrary, he seems to regard the ancient gods as a whetstone to test his own path.

The problem is...

Ji Yang couldn't tell what kind of great path Shen Changqing was following.

He possesses the fragmented memories of a Dao Venerable, and his knowledge is unmatched by other cultivators. He can discern some clues from most of the great Dao Ji Yangs in the Upper Realm.

But the path Shen Changqing chose was somewhat unpredictable to Ji Yang.

It seems to be one!

It also resembles ten thousand paths!

The subtle changes were so profound that even Ji Yang felt a little alarmed.

Upon hearing this...

Gu Qingyang nodded slightly and said no more.

"Your master is becoming more and more extraordinary. If I am not mistaken, he has already found his own true path to immortality."

"It's just that the timing isn't right now; otherwise, this person could have attained enlightenment on the spot and entered the realm of a half-saint!" (End of Chapter)
