Chapter 211

The power of the yin-yang rotation obliterated the void, causing three peak True Lord cultivators to perish, falling abruptly from the primordial chaos.

Qing Ye, in his peak form, defeated three True Lord powerhouses, his gaze fixed on the thunderous Thunder Halberd, its overwhelming imperial might silently tearing through space, the imposing aura shaking his very soul.

"An imperial weapon!"

Qing Ye's expression was extremely grave.

Though he had anticipated the might of an imperial weapon, witnessing it firsthand, Qing Ye finally understood why it was so revered.

Such a treasure at this level could easily obliterate a sixth-stage True Lord cultivator with its mere presence.

This pressure far exceeded that of facing the ancient sages of Tianyang Cave Heaven directly.

Qing Ye had no doubt that if the Thunder Halberd unleashed its full power, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Unstoppable!

Absolutely unstoppable!

As Dongfang Qi and the others activated the imperial weapon, Qing Ye's expression changed. But behind him was the sixth city. If he retreated, the sixth city would surely fall.

With this in mind,

Qing Ye's eyes suddenly became resolute, an endless death aura emanating from him. The power of extreme death nurtured life, intertwining life and death, and the reincarnation sword intent shot towards the sky, causing the surrounding space to gradually solidify.

Thunder roared!

The sword intent howled!

Dongfang Qi, seeing this, showed a hint of disdain and mockery on his pale face from driving the imperial weapon.

"Trying to resist an imperial weapon with mortal power is like a mayfly shaking a tree!"

With that,

the Thunder Halberd roared.

The divine halberd pierced the void in an instant, tens of thousands of thunderbolts raging across the sky, the blade of destruction slashing straight at Qing Ye in the void.

One strike from an imperial weapon,

enough to overturn heaven and earth.

The light of the world was swallowed by the thunder, the terrifying imperial might suppressing all things, and the immense pressure surged forward, filling Qing Ye with uncontrollable fear.

In an instant,

Qing Ye forcibly suppressed his fear, his longsword shrouded in a dull light, an overwhelming aura gathering around him, intertwining life and death into the power of reincarnation.

"Slash!"

Qing Ye said calmly, uttering a single word.

The sword beam was swung out, clashing fiercely with the divine halberd's thunder light. But in the next moment, the sword beam shattered like rotten wood in a storm, the imperial weapon's edge unstoppable.

At this moment, a green leaf appeared out of nowhere, about the size of a palm, seemingly crossing time and space to block the divine halberd.

The two forces collided, the principles embedded in the green leaf disintegrating instantly, turning it to ashes.

The green leaf's brief obstruction allowed Qing Ye to escape in time, and the residual power of the divine halberd struck a mountain a hundred miles away, flattening it in an instant as if it had never existed.

This scene caused the remaining cultivators' expressions to change dramatically.

The might of the imperial weapon filled them with immense fear.

A strike from a hundred miles away that could flatten a mountain would turn them to ashes if it landed on them.

One strike missed, the imperial weapon moved again, its destructive power obliterating the void, slashing towards Qing Ye once more.

"Boom!"

In the void, a majestic figure stepped out, sending out a palm strike, unleashing a torrent of power that surged towards the imperial weapon.

The space within a hundred miles exploded, the destructive ripples spreading out.

The Thunder Halberd, entwined with lightning, condensed into a gigantic figure in the void. As it made its move, the imperial might intensified, making the sun and moon lose their light.

"Heavenly Thunder Emperor!"

Dongfang Qi looked up at the majestic figure formed by lightning, eyes filled with awe. When he turned his gaze to the other figure, his face showed a mix of shock and fear.

The awakening of the imperial mark within the weapon proved the terrifying strength of the opponent, making the imperial weapon feel threatened, thus activating the imperial mark.

It was known that the imperial mark within an imperial weapon was a fallback left by an emperor-level powerhouse, only awakened when the imperial weapon faced a threat.

In the last golden age, the awakening of the imperial mark led to the Heavenly Thunder Cave Heaven slaying a newly ascended quasi-emperor, his blood staining the sky.

Now, the reappearance of the emperor's remaining power confirmed the strength of the person before him.

"Lord Lu Qingyang of the Qingyang Immortal Nation!"

Dongfang Qi recognized the opponent's identity.

He had heard of the most mysterious existence in the Qingyang Immortal Nation, connected to the fall of two ancient sages of the ancient desolation cave heavens.

Dongfang Qi had thought Lu Qingyang was just an ordinary saint. Bringing the imperial weapon would make killing a normal saint easy.

But seeing the imperial mark appear, he realized this lord was far from ordinary, as a regular saint couldn't awaken the imperial mark.

"The Qingyang Immortal Nation's ability to destroy the three cave heavens and occupy the ancient desolation is well-founded. Such a strong figure is indeed extraordinary."

"However, even if a saint arrives today, what is there to fear? Under the imperial mark, even a quasi-emperor would fall!"

While Dongfang Qi pondered, Lu Qingyang's gaze also locked onto the Heavenly Thunder Emperor in the void, the imperial might making him slightly tremble.

This tremble wasn't due to fear but a natural reaction to the disparity in power.

"Unexpectedly, the imperial weapon contains an imperial mark. Judging by its aura, this Heavenly Thunder Emperor was no ordinary figure in his lifetime!"

Lu Qingyang's face showed slight excitement. Seeing the imperial mark for the first time, fighting such a strong opponent was a thrilling experience.

Then,

Lu Qingyang activated his Heavenly Dao Eye.

[Name: Heavenly Thunder Emperor]

[Entity: Imperial Mark (Human)]

[Realm: Early Eighth Stage (Peak Late Ninth Stage)]

[Physique: Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body]

"An eighth-stage emperor at the beginning, peak at late ninth stage, his strength rivals the red-haired corpse demons in the forbidden zones."

Although Lu Qingyang had anticipated it, seeing the information of the Heavenly Thunder Emperor still shocked him.

Peak late ninth stage!

The mark left was at the early eighth stage!

It showed that the Heavenly Thunder Emperor was among the strongest even among ninth-stage emperors.

As Lu Qingyang examined the emperor's data, the Heavenly Thunder Emperor in the void suddenly acted, the imperial weapon Thunder Halberd tearing through space, bringing a strong sense of crisis to Lu Qingyang.

"Well done!"

Lu Qingyang laughed heartily, his dharma body power fully unleashed. With a wave of his hand, sword qi turned into a river, sweeping across the sky, the terrifying power rushing towards the Heavenly Thunder Emperor.

The power of both sides, unmatched in the current era, clashed, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, shaking the cosmos.
