Chapter 437: The Limitless and Unrivaled Body of the Heavenly Emperor, the True Spirit Beyond the He

Chapter 437: The Limitless and Unrivaled Body of the Heavenly Emperor, the True Spirit Beyond the Heavens

Seeing Yan Shanhe and the group of Wanbao Alliance powerhouses brimming with killing intent, the Song clan head and the elders were scared out of their wits, cold sweat breaking on their brows.

"Alliance Master, Song You's matter has nothing to do with my Song clan! We have always been loyal!" Clan Head Song hastily explained.

"Hmph!" Yan Shanhe coldly sneered, "Still trying to deny it at this point? Song You is a member of your Song clan, and this so-called expulsion was merely a ploy to evoke sympathy. Do you think that by doing so, you can remove the Song clan from this matter?"

"How ambitious your Song clan is. Don't you know what's in your own hearts?" Yan Shanhe would not believe a word the clan head said. Never before in the Divine Realm had there been someone who used such a method to take revenge.

Moreover, his only son had been severely injured, and not long ago, he had received secret intelligence. As for its authenticity, he hadn't had the time or the mind to discern it.

In his extreme anger, how could Yan Shanhe believe the Song clan head's words?

"Kill!" Yan Shanhe raised his hand and slapped out with his palm, taking action himself to suppress the Song clan head.

The other Immortal Revereds and the group of Wanbao Alliance warriors also made their moves, and the battle erupted instantly.

The Song clan's strength was not something the Wanbao Alliance could compare to, especially with Yan Shanhe, a top Immortal Revered, taking action. The outcome was already decided.

Seeing that they couldn't possibly win, the Song clan head wanted to flee, but he was facing not only Yan Shanhe but also the blockade of the other Immortal Revereds. Where could he escape to?

The battle came to an end, and the once-powerful Song clan was no more.

Yan Shanhe's face was extremely gloomy. In the end, the Song clan head, an Immortal Revered, chose to end his own life rather than be captured, acting decisively and not giving Yan Shanhe a chance to take him alive.

"Alliance Master, we found some things in the Song clan's possession." One of the Immortal Revereds came to report.

Yan Shanhe swept his gaze over the items, his expression turning cold. It was indeed the hidden force of the Heaven-shattering Darkness.

Soon after, another warrior from the Treasure Protection Team came to report that they had found some clues implicating the Song clan in the plot to assassinate Yan Shanhe's disciple, Yan Ping.

"Good, very good. So it was indeed the Song clan. After attacking my disciple, they dared to plot against my son as well. Heaven-shattering Darkness, huh? Well played!" Yan Shanhe's expression was icy.

"Get in touch with the other forces and join them in wiping out the Heaven-shattering Darkness within the Longyun Province. Leave none alive!" Yan Shanhe's chest heaved with rage.

Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to the schemes of the Heaven-shattering Darkness. After all, for the time being, a certain understanding had been reached between the Wanbao Alliance and the Heaven-shattering Darkness.

The Heaven-shattering Darkness would not target the Wanbao Alliance, and in turn, the Wanbao Alliance would not target them nor provide other forces with information about the Heaven-shattering Darkness.

Now that the Heaven-shattering Darkness had broken this tacit agreement, the Wanbao Alliance had to retaliate!

News of the Song clan's destruction by the Wanbao Alliance, as well as the fact that the Song clan was a significant force of the Heaven-shattering Darkness within the Longyun Province, instantly shook the entire province.

With the Hundred Battles Hall and the Wanbao Alliance both taking action, the remaining members of the Heaven-shattering Darkness in Longyun Province were left stunned. Why had the Hundred Battles Hall and the Wanbao Alliance suddenly made their moves when the time was not yet ripe, and some of their plans had not been completed?

It was becoming increasingly difficult to stay in Longyun Province.

Upon hearing the news of the Song clan's annihilation, Song You was moved to tears. "Father, Mother, I have avenged you!"

"And Brother Meng, I, Song You, will forever remember this kindness!"

Now, the entire Song clan was left with just him.

Moreover, the Wanbao Alliance had offered a high reward.

"The Song clan really was a force of the Heaven-shattering Darkness. They framed me, and now they know the consequences!" Meng Chong, who was on his way to Longyun City, coldly sneered.

It was time to leave Longyun Province and continue his journey through the various provinces of the Divine Realm.

A thousand miles away from Longyun City, Meng Chong was about to change his appearance to avoid the searches and cross the provincial gate when a figure suddenly appeared.

"Master!" Meng Chong was startled and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Mhm." Li Xuan nodded. This fellow, Meng Chong, had raided a branch of the Wanbao Alliance, amassing quite a few treasures, and no longer lacked cultivation resources.

"Master, why are you here?" Meng Chong was thrilled.

"Just wandering around, thought I'd drop by to see how you're doing." Li Xuan took leisurely steps as he spoke, with Meng Chong keeping pace beside him.

"If you have any questions about martial arts, you may ask now." Li Xuan smiled.

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Meng Chong was overjoyed. He then began to ask Li Xuan about some of his doubts regarding the Dao of the Blade, the Great Sun Stellar Immortal Body, and divine abilities.

Li Xuan nodded. The questions Meng Chong had were relatively simple, so he didn't need to give abstruse answers. He could provide proper guidance instead.

Thus, Li Xuan carefully instructed Meng Chong in martial arts, especially regarding the third level of the Great Sun Stellar Immortal Body, and finally explained the Dao of the Blade and its realms.

As they walked leisurely, Li Xuan instructed Meng Chong in the martial way. They were not far from Longyun City, and the city's gates were already in sight.

"Master, I understand. I will definitely comprehend the third level soon!" Meng Chong said reverently.

"Mhm," Li Xuan nodded. "Since you've reached this stage, I shall impart to you the physical martial arts beyond the Great Sun Stellar Immortal Body."

"Thank you, Master!" Meng Chong exclaimed excitedly.

"Physical martial arts focus on the physical body. The third level of the Great Sun Stellar Immortal Body allows one to truly manifest a star in each meridian, resembling the heavens and the earth. However, these star meridians are still nascent.

"Unite the myriad stars, reach for the limitless heavens. I shall impart to you the Limitless Heavenly Body!"

Beyond the Great Sun Stellar Immortal Body was the Limitless Heavenly Body. Li Xuan had carefully considered this name.

Unite the myriad stars, reach for the limitless heavens! Meng Chong's heart raced, and he listened solemnly.

Li Xuan began to explain the Limitless Heavenly Body, teaching him how to strengthen the stars, how to unite them, and how to form a heavenly body with the power of ten thousand stars.

"The Limitless Heavenly Body establishes the foundation of the physical body and awakens the universe within..."

Li Xuan explained it once, leaving Meng Chong to ponder and digest the profound principles.

Meng Chong immersed himself in the Limitless Heavenly Body, unraveling its mysteries and committing the profound physical martial arts to memory.

Suddenly, two figures flew towards them.

"Meng Chong, where do you think you're running off to!"

It was the two Immortal Revereds who had been chasing Meng Chong.

Li Xuan glanced at them indifferently and continued walking leisurely. Meng Chong looked up and saw that the two Immortal Revereds who had been attacking him had turned to ashes from just a glance from his master.

Thud!

"A single glance is all it takes to turn Immortal Revereds into ashes. What kind of realm does it take to achieve such a feat?" Meng Chong marveled inwardly.

His master's strength was truly unfathomable.

"Have you memorized it all?" Li Xuan asked casually.

"Master, I couldn't remember some parts," Meng Chong scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Li Xuan nodded and explained it again.

After explaining it three times, Meng Chong finally committed the technique to memory. Li Xuan then imparted the Heavenly Eye to him. However, it was unknown when Meng Chong would be able to cultivate it.

After all, although he had laid the foundation with the Minor Heavenly Eye, cultivating the true Heavenly Eye was far beyond Meng Chong's current capabilities.

After imparting the techniques and guiding him in the martial way, Li Xuan enhanced Meng Chong's jade talisman and imparted some martial arts tips.

"The Divine Realm is about to descend into chaos, and it will be a time for the rise of peerless geniuses. If you want to make a name for yourself, now is the perfect opportunity." Li Xuan smiled.

"Master, I will definitely shake the Divine Realm and make them know the name of Meng Chong, the Divine Emperor!" Meng Chong said, filled with determination.

Li Xuan smiled and nodded. "Then, I shall not see you off into the city."

With a single step, he vanished from the spot.

Meng Chong scratched his head, chuckled, and strode towards Longyun City, changing his appearance and demeanor in an instant.

With the Song Clan destroyed and no grudge against the Wanbao Alliance, there was no need to linger in Longyun Province. Yan Shanhe was the one jumping mad, not him.

The Divine Realm was vast, and he intended to explore the various provinces and meet the strong cultivators within.

Li Xuan took leisurely steps, crossing Longyun Province and traversing the wilderness towards the Yuanping Province, where Jiang Buling resided.

Since he was already out, he intended to guide all three of his disciples.

"It's time for Jiang Buling, this discarded chess piece, to rise again. And with his re-emergence, he will surely attract attention, especially since he is unaffected by the Unchanging Qi.

"The Jiang Clan in Tai Kun Province will likely send powerful experts to seek him out."

Li Xuan's face broke into a brilliant smile.

Jiang Buling's identity ensured that his path would be filled with trials and bloodshed.

And the Extreme Soul Martial Arts was the perfect art for such a path.

"Even Immortal Revereds cannot break Jiang Buling's Unchanging Soul. With his cultivation speed, it won't be long before he can kill Immortal Revereds!"

The Extreme Soul Martial Arts ravaged souls, and with Jiang Buling's current strength, if an Immortal Revered was not careful, their soul would be injured.

Of course, Jiang Buling still lacked the strength to kill an Immortal Revered by himself.

"The time for a discarded chess piece to rise and overturn a major clan is about to begin."

Li Xuan's expression was carefree as he crossed the wilderness towards Yuanping Province.

In a certain place in Longyun Province, Xu Yan raised his hand and suppressed a True King Immortal.

In the following days, Xu Yan focused his efforts on the Heavenly Assassins, starting with controlling one member and gradually expanding his influence to dozens. He meticulously uncovered their hideouts and gained a clear understanding of their operations.

However, due to the Wanbao Alliance's crackdown on the Heavenly Assassins, many of their bases were destroyed. Xu Yan couldn't help but admire the Alliance's formidable intelligence network, which had managed to uncover so many of the assassins' hideouts.

In the Jiushan Realm, at Hengfeng Mountain...

Master Tian Shiqi's face was darkened by a deep frown as he received news of the chaos in Changyun Realm. A well-hidden and reasonably powerful branch of the Heavenly Assassins had been annihilated.

"Was this caused by Wu Rang's reckless scheming?"

Tian Shiqi demanded angrily.

"Master, it is said that Wu Rang has been in seclusion and has not left his meditation chamber. It's unlikely that he is involved," one of his subordinates replied.

"Hmph, tell him that as a Sha Fa Tian Sha (Killing Heaven Assassin)

, he should focus on taking lives and not meddle with planning!"

Tian Shiqi's expression remained grim.

"Yes, Master. But what should we do about the situation in Changyun Realm now?"

A cold light flashed in Tian Shiqi's eyes as he said, "Since the Wanbao Alliance, led by Yan Shanhe, wants a fight, and the various powers in Changyun Realm are stirring up trouble, then let Changyun Realm descend into chaos. Let the battle begin!"

With a stern expression, he continued, "The preparations for the spirit crystal mines in Changyun Realm are complete. I didn't want to act so soon, but since they insist on creating chaos, we shall give them what they want."

"Master, I'm afraid the timing is not right yet."

"If Changyun Realm is destined for chaos, then the timing is right. Whether it happens now or later, it's inevitable. Pass down my order—activate that treasure!"

"Yes, Master!"

After his subordinate left, Tian Shiqi's gaze shifted towards the direction of Qinghua Realm, his brows furrowed in thought.

So far, there had been no news from Qinghua Realm. It was as if the entire realm had been sealed off.

Moreover, their previous attempt to target Qinghua Realm had also ended in failure.

"Could it be that going after Xu Yan and Meng Chong was a mistake?"

Tian Shiqi's heart grew heavy with uncertainty.

There had been no word from the two Nine Leaf Heavenly Assassins sent to kill Xu Yan, and their silence suggested not just failure but possible demise. Xu Yan didn't possess the strength to accomplish such a feat, which meant that a more powerful being had likely intervened.

Furthermore, based on the available information, there hadn't been any major battles involving Immortal Revereds in Changyun Realm. This implied that the two Nine Leaf Heavenly Assassins had been effortlessly eliminated by a superior force.

"Beyond the Immortal realm? Could it be that a godly realm expert has arrived?"

Tian Shiqi pondered deeply.

"Will they come to Jiushan Realm? For now, it's best if I don't reveal my full strength. I should lie low and expedite that other matter as well."

With that thought, Tian Shiqi immediately left Jiushan Realm.

...

A thunderous boom echoed through the Yuanping Realm, where a unique cave known as the "Unchanging Heaven Cave" was located. The cave was filled with unchanging energy, causing any cultivator who ventured inside to exercise extreme caution.

If one's soul was tainted by this unchanging energy, they would lose their spiritual sense and intelligence.

However, due to the constant presence of this energy, the cave had also given birth to some special treasures used in refining divine artifacts, enhancing their durability and resilience.

Additionally, within the cave dwelled a fierce beast, rumored to be a celestial spirit from beyond the heavens. Due to the constant erosion of its being by the unchanging energy, it lacked the spiritual intelligence of a magical beast and behaved like a common wild animal.

Nevertheless, the flesh of this celestial spirit was exceptionally robust and held great value. It could be used to restore depleted essence and blood, and to concoct precious elixirs.

It also had the effect of strengthening one's physical body. This was why cultivators from the Yuanping Realm were known for their well-developed muscles and superior physical strength compared to those from Changyun Realm.

This was a unique advantage possessed by those who cultivated in a realm with the Unchanging Heaven Cave.

At that moment, within the cave, a young man holding a chilling spear emanated a cold light. This light seemed to pierce not only flesh but also the soul and consciousness.

A beast with a body enveloped in white flames and covered in massive scales, with a giant horn protruding from its huge head, roared as it charged towards the young man.

However, the instant the young man thrust out his spear, the beast's roar ceased. The ferocity in its eyes faded, and its charging body crumpled to the ground halfway through its assault.

"What kind of secret art is this that can easily penetrate the Giant-Scaled Beast's defenses?"

"But there's not a single mark on the Giant-Scaled Beast's body!"

Many cultivators in the distance witnessed this scene with shock and awe.

The Giant-Scaled Beast was named for its thick, protective scales and was renowned for its formidable defense. Even True King Immortals found it a challenging opponent. To see someone effortlessly slay one with a single spear strike was truly astonishing.
