141: With Ye Qingxian's help, will the great calamity of the era arrive?

Boom, boom, boom—

Majestic Qi swept out, instantly submerging this area of the Void Realm in the Ziwei Imperial Son's Saint Dao aura.

As a Prodigy from the Beginning of the Era, millions of years ago, he had crossed realms to kill several Saints; even the Great Emperor Ziwei claimed he possessed the demeanor of his younger self.

Now, after being Sealed in Divine Source for millions of years, he had reappeared, and his foundation was even deeper.

In this Great Era of Competition, what was a mere current Prodigy worth?

His true opponents were those who were also Sons of Great Emperors.

Gu Qingchen?

He would simply end up like his many former enemies, eventually becoming a handful of ashes on his Imperial Path.

His entire body erupted with aura, and a Purple Tenuity Dao Domain instantly unfolded.

Within it, stars dotted the space, moving along profound trajectories.

The next moment, the numerous stars shattered, transforming into dense Purple Qi, condensing into an Imperial Phantom ten thousand zhang tall.

He wore an Imperial Crown, held an Imperial Scepter, gathered the power of the myriad stars, and smashed toward the Yin and Yang Great Handprint above.

Crack—

The two collided, and the Yin and Yang Great Handprint instantly shattered.

“Oh?”

Gu Qingchen let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The strength displayed by this Ziwei Imperial Son could indeed be considered very powerful.

His cultivation in the Half-Saint Realm, in that instant, actually pushed his combat strength up to the Saint Nine Heavens!

With such combat strength, even Gu Qingchen had to take things slightly seriously.

The next moment, the entire Ziwei Imperial Son transformed into a brilliant star chart, merging into the ten-thousand-zhang Imperial Phantom.

His aura grew stronger, and the entire Imperial Phantom seemed to solidify, like a true Emperor of Myriad Stars.

“This punch crosses millions of years, severs all eternity, it is the Fist Art of the Era. Can you block it?”

The ten-thousand-zhang Emperor boomed, his voice shaking heaven and earth.

He threw a punch, as if time itself was reversing.

For a moment, this area of the Void Realm trembled slightly.

The numerous Prodigies on the Myriad Stars Continent were all stunned upon seeing this.

“Is this the terror of an Imperial Son-level figure?”

“My heavens, this punch must have already reached the threshold of a Saint King!”

“Even if it's not equal to a Saint King, it's far beyond what Gu Qingchen can resist.”

“He is merely a current Prodigy. Compared to a Prodigy like the Ziwei Imperial Son, who ranked among the foremost in his own Era, he is still lacking.”

“Ahem... you can't say that. After all, how long has Gu Qingchen Cultivated? At most, only a dozen years. If you gave him a few more decades of Cultivation time, even a Saint Emperor might not be his opponent.”

“...”

While the numerous Prodigies discussed animatedly, even Gu Qingchen's expression grew serious, a rare sight.

This punch from the Purple Tenuity Saint definitely possessed the combat strength of a Saint of Great Perfection!

One must know that a Half-Saint is someone who has Broken through the extraordinary limit in any one of the three aspects—Physical Body, Divine Soul, or Spiritual Power—and stepped into the Saint Realm.

Only when all three aspects Break through their limits and step into the Saint Realm can one be considered a true Saint.

A Saint is someone whose Essence, Qi, and Spirit are all in Perfection, and who then Breaks through the limits of each one.

At this point, the Saint can condense Saint Might!

Against those below the Saint level, the release of Saint Might is enough to sweep away thousands of Cultivators.

Even those at Dao Attainment Great Perfection are vulnerable, and only a Half-Saint can endure Saint Might for a moment.

And at this moment, the Ziwei Imperial Son's punch actually contained true Saint Might!

“Primordial Dao Domain, six paths reincarnation plate, suppress him for me!”

In an instant.

Gu Qingchen no longer held back.

His Primordial Dao Domain was fully activated, and a Reincarnation Millstone appeared, shrouded by the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Eighteen Layers of the Earth, countless Exquisite Small Worlds, and the phantom behind the Great Desolate World.

Rumble—

The moment the six paths reincarnation plate appeared, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm instantly rioted.

Even the Boundless Star Sea deep within the Ancient Star Tomb began to riot and surge.

Ye Qingxian, who was studying how to subdue the Supreme Treasure at the bottom of the Boundless Star Sea, also sensed this fluctuation.

Using her authority over the Ancient Star Tomb, she directly projected the scene of the battle between Gu Qingchen and the Ziwei Imperial Son.

“Huh? That guy Gu Qingchen is being surrounded?”

“That's right.”

Yue Nanli, standing beside her, nodded, her expression somewhat grave: “The person opposite seems to possess the Purple Tenuity Body, and is actually exerting the combat power of a Saint of Great Perfection while only in the Half-Saint Realm.”

“Ah?”

Hearing this, Ye Qingxian's heart tightened: “That person's aura seems somewhat familiar.”

“Indeed, it seems to be the young man who joined the Myriad Stars Grand Offering midway under a hidden identity.”

Yue Nanli nodded.

She had noticed that the young man was extraordinary back then, but she hadn't expected him to possess such strength.

“I heard rumors that the Ziwei Imperial Son, Sealed in Divine Source millions of years ago, has reappeared. Is it possible that it's him?”

“There is a ninety percent chance it is him.”

After hearing Ye Qingxian's guess, Yue Nanli nodded.

The Myriad Stars Grand Offering restricts age; only those under a hundred years old are qualified to participate.

But after being Sealed in Divine Source, a Cultivator's age is frozen.

Whatever age they were when Sealed, they remain that age upon emerging.

Currently, Gu Qingchen's cultivation and combat strength can almost sweep through the entire Younger Generation of the Human Race.

Only Foundational Prodigies, like those Sealed in Divine Source, can compete with him, relying on their superior past Cultivation environments and greater age.

Seeing that her Revered Master also agreed with her guess, a hint of worry flashed in Ye Qingxian's eyes.

She asked: “Can Gu Qingchen win?”

It wasn't that she lacked confidence in Gu Qingchen; it was just that the combat strength displayed by the Ziwei Imperial Son was too terrifying.

Saint of Great Perfection!

In some Eternal Great Sects and Super Imperial Dynasties, this would be considered an Old Ancestor-level figure.

Yet Gu Qingchen is barely twenty-one.

“He should be able to.”

Yue Nanli had great confidence in Gu Qingchen, as she had never seen such a monstrous existence, but she still couldn't guarantee it.

After all, Gu Qingchen is only at the Seventh Heaven of Dao Attainment.

With this level of strength, breaking through the suppression of Saint Might is already difficult, let alone defeating an existence comparable to a Saint of Great Perfection?

“That's unfair!”

Ye Qingxian frowned slightly: “He is also borrowing the power of the myriad stars, which makes it even more unfair.

I need to make this match fairer.”

Saying this, she used her authority to cut off the supply of Star Power from the Boundless Star Sea.

In an instant.

The Imperial Phantom, which was clashing with the six paths reincarnation plate, suddenly flickered, and its ten-thousand-zhang body rapidly shrank.

In a short time, it was only five thousand zhang tall.

Outside, the shining myriad stars above the Great World of Myriad Stars simultaneously dimmed.

In an instant, everyone's expression drastically changed!

“What happened?”

“Why have all the stars dimmed?”

“Has the End of the Era arrived? Is the Era Tribulation coming?”

“The stars have dimmed, the celestial phenomena have changed drastically—a shocking upheaval is imminent!”

“...”

At this moment, not only were the various factions in the Great World of Myriad Stars terrified, but even the two groups from Yuanshi Holy Land and Xuantian Holy Land, who were facing off, looked at each other, vaguely sensing an approaching storm!

“What happened?”

“Could this matter be related to Qingchen?”

“Is Yuanshi Holy Land playing tricks?”

“...”

Just as everyone was stunned and filled with suspicion, figures suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.

The most striking sight was a terrifying millstone descending from the sky, violently smashing a several-thousand-zhang-tall Imperial Phantom!

This scene caused the expressions of all the strong experts of Ziwei Holy Land to change.

“Imperial Son!”
