Chapter 69: Celestial Sword Seal! Slay the Near-Emperor!
Chapter 69: Celestial Sword Seal! Slay the Near-Emperor!
Su Changqing strolled through the battlefield, his pace unhurried, as if he were inspecting his own territory. Each stroke of his stone sword inevitably sent a Buddhist monk plummeting from the void.
When Su Changqing finally cut down the last Buddhist monk, a furious roar accompanied by a thunderous boom echoed from the depths of the sky.
Whoosh!
Su Changqing looked up to see a figure descending like a meteor.
"Stay back!"
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Su Changqing spoke softly, and gentle golden rays flashed, catching the falling figure.
"Changqing, you—"
Su Wenlin wiped the blood from his mouth, hesitating to speak, unsure of how to address Su Changqing.
"Leave it to me."
Su Changqing calmly finished his sentence and stepped forward, his sword in hand, facing the seething Venerable Fan Yin.
"Good! Very good!"
Fan Yin's face was a mask of rage as he surveyed the carnage of the Buddhist monks.
A Great Saint and dozens of powerful adepts—any force would be severely weakened by such a loss. Now, they were all dead!
"A mere mortal, a relic of ancient times, has dared to slaughter my holy mountain to this extent!"
Fan Yin's chest heaved as the aura of a Near-Emperor filled the air, and he spoke in a chilling voice.
"You've merely borrowed the strength of a remnant soul, forcing yourself to the level of a Near-Emperor!"
"But this borrowed power isn't yours. I want to see how you can stand against me!"
As he spoke, the aura of a Near-Emperor erupted from Fan Yin, and a towering light of Buddha coalesced in his chest.
He was enraged and no longer cared about the Su family. He would kill everyone here!
In the sky above, Shu Han watched the scene below with a look of surprise.
"Teacher, is what that monk said true?"
"Even if Changqing is a Near-Emperor, he can't match him?"
Shu Han could see that Fan Yin was gathering a powerful spell.
"He's right."
Li Qingchen's palm glowed with a terrifying righteous energy, ready to intervene if necessary. He then spoke calmly.
"Changqing's strength can indeed rival a Near-Emperor's, but as Fan Yin said, none of that power is his own."
"If Changqing had any cultivation, even a little, he could channel the ancient predecessor's power and unleash it at eighty percent of its potential."
"But now, the ancient predecessor is merely using Changqing's body, and his power is like a rootless reed. If he can muster fifty percent of his strength, that would be impressive."
Shu Han pondered this and then asked, "Can only cultivation channel it? What about other things?"
Li Qingchen glanced at Shu Han and said softly, "A birthmark technique would be even better, especially a sword path birthmark seal. It could channel nearly a hundred percent of the power."
"But do you think Changqing, who has only read books and never cultivated, would have a birthmark technique?"
With that, Li Qingchen shook his head, his gaze returning to the scene below, ready to intervene at any moment.
However, Shu Han's eyes lit up with realization.
...
Below, Fan Yin's body was surrounded by oscillating Buddhist light, causing the heavens to tremble as he gathered a terrifying spell.
But Su Changqing simply smiled calmly.
"A mere insect."
"You underestimated this mortal, and you underestimated the ancient remnant."
"Killing you will be as easy as flipping a palm."
With that, Su Changqing brought his fingers together in a sword gesture and touched his brow.
"Ha! Arrogant fool!"
"Let me see how you plan to kill me!"
Fan Yin laughed furiously, and a torrent of Buddhist light exploded from his chest, releasing a terrifying force that surged through his throat.
"Roar!"
Boom!
The roar silenced the world for a moment, followed by a torrential storm. A visible, terrifying sound wave burst forth from Fan Yin.
The void shattered inch by inch, and boundless Buddhist light condensed, forming a majestic golden lion a hundred thousand feet tall. It charged forward with a devastating force, as if it could destroy heaven and earth.
Li Qingchen, hovering in the sky, narrowed his eyes and prepared to intervene.
But at that moment, a calm voice echoed across the heavens.
"Dao Seal, appear!"
Su Changqing pressed his fingers to his brow, and a brilliant sword seal, shimmering like a star, instantly appeared.
Li Qingchen, seeing this, was taken aback. "The Sword Emperor Sect has a star? No, that's not right!"
His eyes widened in shock. "That Dao Seal belongs to Changqing!"
Beside him, Shu Han licked his lips in excitement. Changqing didn't have a sword seal? Wrong, he not only had one, but two!
In the arena.
A star imprint appeared above Su Changqing's crown, but he didn't retrieve the other Dao Seal.
Instead, he placed his sword finger on the golden pattern on his brow.
"Since this is the Sword Emperor Sect's battle to emerge, how can it be without the presence of the Imperial Sword Spirit!"
Su Changqing's black hair danced wildly as he laughed.
"Imperial Sword Spirit, appear!"
With a thunderous boom, the golden pattern on Su Changqing's brow erupted with a torrent of light, and a slender golden sword, radiating divine golden light, appeared in the sky.
The moment the sword appeared, a majestic and imperial aura soared into the heavens.
Every sword user present changed color; their swords began to wail and tremble violently, as if in fear and submission.
"This sword, to cut you down!"
Su Changqing held the golden sword, and the star Dao Seal merged with it.
He stepped on the seven stars, and the golden sword in his hand burst with a hundred thousand feet of light, striking down with a single slash.
With another thunderous boom, the night turned as bright as day, and the sky above was filled with countless stars shimmering and raining down brilliant starlight.
Across the vast Southern Domain, countless people looked up in shock, seeing the night sky filled with a rain of meteors.
The endless starlight gathered and descended, merging into the hundred-thousand-foot-long sword beam in an instant!
The two forces fused, creating a massive sword blade of gold and silver, which expanded in the wind, its sword intent overwhelming.
This single strike seemed to cut through heaven and earth, shattering the void and causing the earth to sink!
The enraged golden lion, upon colliding with the gold and silver sword blade, was instantly split in two!
The terrifying sword blade continued its momentum, striking down on Fan Yin.
"Spit!"
Fan Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
His aura plummeted to its lowest point, his face filled with boundless terror, and he turned to flee.
At the same time, he immediately sent a message to Kasyapa.
"Buddhist Master! Save me!"
Seeing that Fan Yin was gravely injured but still alive, Su Changqing frowned, about to raise his sword again, but he hesitated as he glanced at the ruins behind him.
"Senior, I'll take care of the rest."
Li Qingchen's voice echoed, and he vanished from his spot with a slight movement.
Su Wenlin, who was badly injured, looked at Su Changqing in confusion.
He felt that the previous strike was somewhat familiar.
...
At the border between the Western and Southern Domains.
The moment Fan Yin sent his message, Kasyapa's face changed drastically, and he took a step toward the Forbidden Abyss.
But just as he moved, a terrifying black spear pierced through the void and shot toward him without mercy.
Kasyapa's face changed again. Though he retreated in time, he still let out a muffled groan.
"Su Nan, don't push it too far!"
Standing firm, Kasyapa's face was ashen with anger, his anxiety clearly visible.
A Quasi-Emperor!
If he were to fall in the Southern Domain, the loss to Spirit Mountain would be enormous.
However.
Su Nan didn't even glance at Kasyapa. Instead, he turned his head toward the direction of the Forbidden Abyss and nodded approvingly.
"Pretty quick work, just as expected from a Scholar Immortal!"
