Chapter 23 - Su Changsheng's Power
That jerk Su Changsheng, just let him die!
Gu Qingge roared in her heart. Even under the red veil, she could sense Su Changsheng’s playful gaze, filled with mockery.
He was teasing her for saying one thing and meaning another. The thought of her momentarily losing her senses and inexplicably uttering those words filled her with shame and anger.
She was the majestic Empress, revered throughout the ages, unmatched in the Eternal Life realm! She didn’t care about the Emperors from various domains. But she spoke like a petty woman. Looking back, she realized how foolish she had been!
Could it be that, as the mighty Empress, she was being manipulated by Su Changsheng?
No, Su Changsheng should just die, preferably killed by the Saint from the Myriad Beast Sect.
“Wait for me!” Just as Gu Qingge was in turmoil, Su Changsheng’s voice came from the side. This time, there was no teasing, only a calmness that reassured her.
Gu Qingge was startled and saw Su Changsheng turning around, leaving behind a tall figure. Her heart trembled.
In her previous life, she had cultivated alone for thousands of years, becoming a quasi-Emperor, but she had never felt any care or warmth.
Until now, this man, Su Changsheng, who forced her, unexpectedly felt such emotions.
“Elder!”
“Elder, I pledge to follow you to the death!”
Seeing Su Changsheng advancing alone, Su Yun’s eyes turned red with humiliation and anger as he growled. It wasn’t the first time the Su family had been attacked.
But it was their first attack during the Elder’s grand wedding. And it was by someone they held in the highest regard, the esteemed Elder Changsheng. Even if the other party was an experienced Saint, they were filled with fury.
“Elder!”
Not only Su Yun but countless members of the Su family were suppressing a burning rage, ready to erupt at any moment.
“Su Changsheng, I have come here today for you!” The Purple Mountain Saint raised his eyebrows, his gaze sweeping towards Su Changsheng, and said indifferently.
“You killed the elder of my Myriad Beast Sect. I will use your holy blood to exact revenge and your entire clan!” He spoke calmly, looking down on Su Changsheng from a superior position.
“I don’t have time to chat with you anymore. Die!”
Boom!
As he finished speaking, the Purple Mountain Saint reached out with a large hand and pressed toward Su Changsheng. Between his palms and fingers, mist coiled, and the orderly divine chains transformed into interweaving blood-colored lightning.
A terrifying pressure swept down. The thousands of miles of space, including the entire Su family and the wedding venue, trembled violently as if they were on the verge of collapse at the next moment.
“Quick, run!”
Countless people looked terrified, and many half-Saint sect masters trembled as they swiftly led their disciples away from the scene.
“It’s over!”
“Su Changsheng is doomed!”
“Can he withstand the Purple Mountain Saint’s palm strike?”
All eyes in heaven and earth were focused on Su Changsheng. Everyone wanted to see how he would respond to this attack.
Boom!
Su Changsheng’s expression was cold as he pointed a finger, unleashing a surge of divine power that shattered the palm strike. His strength as a Saint was unquestionable.
“Not bad!”
The Purple Mountain Saint nodded slightly. If he couldn’t withstand a single palm strike, he would be too useless!
“But this strike won’t be so easy to block!”
“The Roar of the Myriad Beasts!”
The Purple Mountain Saint sneered. He threw a punch, and countless imaginary images of ferocious beasts appeared. Each was terrifying, whether a lion-like mythical creature, a voracious beast, or a bizarre creature.
Terrifying beast images emerged, roaring with a power that shattered space, spreading toward Tianyuan City like a black hole. The entire Tianyuan City trembled as numerous formations broke and countless runes disintegrated, unable to withstand the power of the Saint.
“If you can’t stop it, then die together!”
The Purple Mountain Saint burst into laughter, a laugh-filled with bloodthirst and cruelty. To him, mortals were insignificant.
In his eyes, the countless living beings in Tianyuan City were like ants, and he had no qualms about eradicating them in a single strike.
“So heartless!”
“If Su Changsheng can’t endure it, the whole Tianyuan City will be wiped out by a single blow!”
“This is what it means to be a Saint, looking down on all living beings as insignificant beings!”
All the half-Saint sect masters withdrew, observing the scene from a distance, their gazes filled with astonishment.
“Alas, is it going to end like this?”
Even Baiyun Ancestor, accompanied by Bai Yuege, moved far away and witnessed this earth-shattering strike. While feeling fear, he couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t know how a newly ascended Saint could contend against an experienced powerhouse like the Purple Mountain Saint!
“Around the second stage of the Saint realm, an ordinary newly ascended Saint would undoubtedly be severely injured by a single palm strike!”
Gu Qingge was also paying attention. Although her cultivation was low and she had only reached the Qi Sea realm, her vision was impressive due to her previous life as the Empress. At a glance, she could discern the opponent’s strength.
If it were an ordinary newly ascended Saint, they would be heavily injured by a single palm strike. After all, the gap between each of the nine stages of the Saint realm was immense, representing a substantial difference in strength.
“Can this guy Su Changsheng withstand it?” Gu Qingge furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat worried as she looked at Su Changsheng.
Boom!
Facing the attack, Su Changsheng’s expression remained calm. He waved his sleeve, and countless stars surged like a tide, forming a vast galaxy. He was called the Starfall King because of his cultivation technique, known as the Stellar Scriptures, which allowed him to harness the power of the stars.
As he had become a Saint, his power was even more astonishing. With a snap of his fingers, stars fell, and the galaxy rumbled, launching a massive assault.
Boom!
The impact of countless stars shattered each terrifying beast.
“So powerful!”
The Purple Mountain Saint’s pupils contracted. The previous strike was almost a full-powered attack, using the power of the vast Saint Dao to imprison the void and lock onto the target’s aura, making it impossible for an ordinary Saint to evade and only able to endure it head-on.
He thought he could severely injure Su Changsheng with that attack, but he didn’t expect it to be blocked. And it seemed to be done quite effortlessly!
“I underestimated him. This Su Changsheng is not ordinary!”
The Purple Mountain Saint’s heart sank. If it were a newly ascended Saint, he would have at least a ninety percent chance of killing them with the Divine Execution Bow in his hand or inflicting an irreparable injury!
But Su Changsheng’s strength was not that of an ordinary newly ascended Saint. He was comparable with the Purple Mountain Saint, a formidable opponent at the peak of the second stage of the Saint realm.
“He blocked it?!”
A group of half-Saint sect masters was also dumbfounded. Su Changsheng’s strength was unexpectedly so strong?
“Boom!”
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Su Changsheng’s expression turned cold as he soared into the air, gazing at the Purple Mountain Saint from a distance. Then, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. At that moment, the horrifying aura belonging to the fourth stage of the Saint realm burst forth from him.
The heavens and earth boiled. Countless chains of divine order and rules of the Great Dao were impacted. A force as mighty as a mountain torrent or a tsunami, even more terrifying, swept out, with countless divine radiance erupting and filling every inch of space.
The heavens and earth fell silent. Countless minds went blank, their souls on the verge of shattering, as if time had frozen.
Even the mighty half-Saints had stiff expressions, their powerful primordial spirits trembling!
