452: Everlasting!

However, Immortal Emperor Changqing's fury erupted even faster than his.

"Beast, you still think you can leave?"

Immortal Emperor Changqing snorted coldly.

From the giant palm that was originally descending toward Su Ming, a wisp of green Qi separated.

That Qi was as fast as a thunderbolt, instantly piercing through Su Chen's chest.

Puchi.

A dull sound of flesh tearing echoed.

Su Chen's figure froze in mid-air, his fingertips only inches away from the Void Realm crack.

Those few inches had now become an eternal, uncrossable chasm.

He looked down at the massive bloody hole in his chest, the madness in his eyes rapidly fading.

It was replaced by an extreme sense of hollowness and resentment.

He hadn't lived long enough, he hadn't... Bang!

Su Chen's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air, and along with his soul, he was ground to dust.

"Su Chen!"

Su Qingyuan cried out softly.

Although she loathed Su Chen, he was, after all, her Revered Master's only child.

Watching him die right before her eyes...

A sense of guilt welled up from within.

However, Su Qingyuan soon felt the heavy burden she had been carrying finally vanish.

"Go!"

The Sword Emperor Remnant Soul's voice held a note of grim determination.

That sky-covering green giant palm, carrying Law power that could crush everything, slammed down.

Under this pressure, the entire Bamboo Shadow Peak nearly crumbled into pieces.

Just an instant before the giant palm landed, the Sword Emperor controlled Su Ming's body and instantly disappeared from the Immortal Cave.

Rumble—!

The giant palm finally fell, and the entire Immortal Cave shook violently before collapsing into a pile of ruins.

"Trying to run?"

Immortal Emperor Changqing's figure appeared above the ruins.

He glanced at the retreating back, a sinister look surfacing on his face.

"Lock down the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect!"

With a single command, his voice spread throughout the entire Sect like a decree from the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Sect's Mountain Protection Formation was fully activated.

Beams of light connecting heaven and earth shot up, forming a massive light curtain that completely locked down all space.

Immortal Emperor Changqing took a step forward, his figure merging into the Void Realm as he gave chase directly.

On the other side.

The Sword Emperor Remnant Soul, having just tumbled out of the spatial crack, hadn't even had time to catch his breath.

He felt Immortal Emperor Changqing's aura approaching from behind.

The next second!

The Void Realm ahead twisted, and Immortal Emperor Changqing stepped out leisurely with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

In the Soul Sea, Su Ming saw this scene, and his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

"Holy crap! Old man, can you do this or not?"

At this point, Su Ming no longer called the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul 'Senior,' but addressed him directly as 'old man.'

"Shut up!"

The Sword Emperor Remnant Soul's voice carried a hint of impatience.

"A mere Immortal Sovereign built up by Medicinal Pills dares to be presumptuous before this Emperor!"

"If it weren't for the fact that this Emperor only has this wisp of a remnant soul left, I could slay him with a single sword strike!"

Though he spoke toughly, the Sword Emperor also understood.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Setting aside the Immortal Emperor Changqing before them, the other Immortal Sovereigns within the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect were also a hidden threat.

Not to mention that deeply hidden Nine Heavens Immortal Sovereign.

From a previous simulation, Su Ming knew that the current affairs of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect were fully handled by the Grand Elder.

The mysterious Nine Heavens Immortal Sovereign hadn't shown his face for a long time... Outside!

The Sword Emperor and Immortal Emperor Changqing faced off.

"Hmph!"

Controlling Su Ming's body, the Sword Emperor looked coldly at Immortal Emperor Changqing.

"If this Emperor hadn't suffered heavy injuries, trash like you wouldn't even be fit to carry my shoes."

"Oh?"

Immortal Emperor Changqing acted as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, sizing up 'Su Ming' with interest.

"You certainly talk big."

"Today, this Emperor wants to see just how long a rat hiding in a shell like you can keep up this tough act."

Before he even finished speaking, he didn't even bother to move his hands, using only a thought.

"Azurewood Cage."

In an instant.

Countless emerald-green vines grew out of thin air in the Void Realm.

These vines were not physical entities but were condensed from pure Wood Law.

They coiled in from all directions, sealing off all of the Sword Emperor's paths of retreat.

Every single vine contained enough power to imprison an ordinary Immortal Sovereign.

"Old man, keep it up!"

Su Ming shouted anxiously within the Soul Sea.

The Sword Emperor, however, neither dodged nor avoided them, a world-destroying Sword Intent erupting from his eyes.

He withdrew the Great Void Immortal Sword and pressed two fingers together, using them as a sword to lightly point at the sky full of vines.

"Break."

There was no world-shaking momentum, only a barely perceptible silver Sword Qi that flashed from his fingertips.

The Sword Qi seemed minuscule.

Yet it condensed an extreme sense of destructive Sword Intent.

Chichi chi!

Wherever the silver Sword Qi passed, all the vines were silently sliced through as if they were made of paper.

However, there were simply too many vines, seemingly endless.

As the Sword Qi cut one, ten or a hundred more would surge forward.

Ultimately, a majestic force still penetrated the Sword Qi's defense and slammed solidly into 'Su Ming's' chest.

Pfft!

'Su Ming' was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow, a mouthful of blood spraying across the sky.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Controlling the body, the Sword Emperor stabilized his figure miserably, a sharp pain coming from his chest.

"Old man, take it easy! This is my body!"

Su Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Dammit!"

"This body of yours is too weak; it can't even withstand the power of an Immortal Sovereign!"

The Sword Emperor's voice was full of frustration.

Hearing this, Su Ming's lips couldn't help but twitch.

He was a Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivator; no matter how strong his Physical Body was, it could at most withstand attacks at the Immortal Lord Realm.

Yet now, he was facing an Immortal Sovereign.

On the other side.

Watching this scene, Immortal Emperor Changqing's smile became increasingly cruel.

"How does it feel to struggle?"

"A remnant soul who doesn't even have his own body actually dreams of contending with this Emperor?"

"Even if you were an Immortal Emperor, so what?"

"Today, this Emperor shall commit deicide!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Immortal Emperor Changqing slowly raised his hand, and an aura ten times more terrifying than before began to condense.

The heavens and earth changed color because of it.

"Everlasting Azure!"

With a thunderous roar from Immortal Emperor Changqing.

Immediately after, the Spiritual Qi of the flora and fauna within a thousand-mile radius around 'Su Ming' was instantly drained, turning everything into a withered yellow.

This Law power that stripped away life force instantly descended upon him.

Even the surrounding space was corroded, giving off wisps of green smoke.

This was a killing blow.

The Sword Emperor Remnant Soul felt this power that was enough to wither a Primordial Spirit.

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He could feel that the Meridians in Su Ming's body were already on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Ming possessed the Chaos Body, this Physical Body would have long ago been unable to withstand his power and would have completely exploded.

"Kid, listen well."

The Sword Emperor spoke from deep within the Divine Soul.

His voice was still calm, but it held a touch of the finality of someone giving their last words.

"In a moment, I might no longer be able to control your body."

"For the next move, I will forcibly invoke the Origin Sword Intent."

"I will help you temporarily deal with the person in front of you, but whether you can escape this Nine Heavens Immortal Sect will depend on yourself."
