Chapter 741: Chapter 740: The Immortal Emperor of Ancient Ruins!
 

And this fellow’s original realm was such that his combat power was many times stronger than that of an ordinary Saint.

He was not alone.

No wonder, despite the combined efforts of many Saints over millions of years, they still couldn’t overcome him.

In those millions of years, who knows how many times they had fought!

The battle within this ancient ruin was still ongoing.

This battle was quite peculiar; after fighting for some years, both sides would stop and enter a standoff.

Qin Changqing soon understood the reason.

The disturbance caused by their battle was too great, provoking a Chaos Storm in this particular ruin.

“A Chaos Tree, there is actually one here, no wonder neither side is giving in.”

The Ancient Emperor made a discovery.

They had been fighting for so many years, not only to annihilate each other but also to obtain a Chaos Tree.

This Chaos Tree was even more precious than the Chaos Flower; it was incredibly tall and filled with fruits.

However, these fruits did not seem to be ripe yet.

The fighting would pause because if the Chaos Storm became too intense, it would destroy the Chaos Tree.

Qin Changqing didn’t rush to take action.

He patiently waited.

This Chaos Storm lasted for a full few thousand years.

After thousands of years, as soon as the Chaos Storm subsided, both sides once again plunged into fierce battle.

Suddenly, a Saint from the Immortal World reached for the Chaos Tree.

But immediately, the other side intervened to stop him.

The great battle erupted once again.

Qin Changqing still didn’t rush to act, silently observing.

After observing for many years, he moved, suddenly entering the battlefield with a killing intent.

Since he had hidden himself so well, his sudden attack was too abrupt, and those “Great Terrors” hadn’t even reacted before Qin Changqing closed in on them.

Qin Changqing’s target was the Chaos Tree.

Although caught off guard, many “Great Terrors,” especially that Immortal Emperor-level “Great Terror,” reacted immediately.

“It’s Qin Changqing.”

The many Saints cheered.

They took action one after another, joining forces to block the Immortal Emperor-level Great Terror.

But several other “Great Terrors” still launched an attack on Qin Changqing.

However, at this moment, Qin Changqing suddenly transformed and struck at one of the Great Terrors.

This fellow did not expect Qin Changqing to suddenly turn the tables.

But he was also very fierce, showing no fear as he resolutely struck back against Qin Changqing.

It seemed he was not aware of Qin Changqing’s impressive combat achievements in the Immortal World.

The next second, he found out.

Because Qin Changqing’s attack was too ferocious, shattering all his moves in one blow and engulfing him, blasting him into dust.

After killing one “Great Terror” with a single strike, Qin Changqing, like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, struck out repeatedly.

“Ah!”

The wails of the second “Great Terror” rang out, then the third.

The savagery of the scene numbed all the Saints who were watching.

Compared to the battle a million years ago, Qin Changqing’s strength had already escalated to a new level, even more formidable than before.

Seeing how fierce Qin Changqing was, the Immortal Emperor-level Great Terror could not restrain himself, and his aura began climbing frantically.

His strength suddenly returned to the Immortal Emperor level.

At this point, even the combined efforts of the many Saints were a bit too weak to hold back.

The Chaos Storm also began to emerge.

Indeed, if not for the fear of destroying the Chaos Tree, these “Great Terrors” would have been unstoppable by the Saints in the past few million years.

“Be careful!”

All the Saints simultaneously used secret techniques to briefly boost their combat power, intending to forcibly resist the opponent.

But this time, the ferocity of the opponent had escalated even further, making it hard for them to withstand even when working together.

The Immortal Emperor-level Great Terror made a sudden grasp at Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing’s expression remained unchanged as the Tian Di Faxiang he had already summoned suddenly appeared.

He stood his ground against the assault.

“So strong!”

The adversary was indeed strong, as even while withstanding the firepower of many Saints, he still managed to exert a certain pressure on Qin Changqing.

Is this what an Immortal Emperor level being is like?

And moreover, this wasn’t even a complete Immortal Emperor!

If it were an Immortal Emperor of this era, unless the Saints were within the Three Realms, even a united effort would be utterly incapable of contending with them.

After deflecting the opponent’s strike, Qin Changqing attacked once again.

Shortly after, another “Great Terror” burst apart under his assault.

The soul of this foe still existed, and Qin Changqing had not had the chance to annihilate it in one fell swoop, but even so, it was already too late to make a difference.

Now, beside the Immortal Emperor level “Great Terror,” only one assistant remained.

The Immortal Emperor Great Terror was visibly enraged.

His aura climbed once more.

Inside his body, an Imperial heart pulsed, and with each beat, the whole world seemed to pulse along.

Just as the aura of the Immortal Emperor was about to surge further, Qin Changqing suddenly unleashed a secret technique.

Instantly, the aura of the Immortal Emperor Great Terror hit a snag.

This was still a secret technique of the Ancient Emperor.

It could prevent the opponent from fully regaining the strength of an Immortal Emperor.

The adversary, once an Immortal Emperor, could possess strength equivalent to that of the current Immortal Emperors for a short time at great cost.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Changqing ferociously lunged at him.

After being interrupted, the Immortal Emperor Great Terror’s countenance turned frightfully grim as a blood-colored Demon Blade came slashing over.

“Be careful, that’s an Imperial Arms!”

Supreme Clear Dao Master urgently cautioned.

Imperial Arms!

Qin Changqing’s face remained unchanged as a small Mirror in his hand instantly enlarged and met the attack head-on.

This was Qin Changqing’s Six Harmonies Mirror which, after having received some materials provided by the Ancient Emperor, had been further enhanced and refined to the level of Imperial Arms.

There was still some difference from a true Imperial Arms.

However, this Immortal Emperor’s Imperial Arms, after countless epochs, no longer possessed its former might.

Many Saints also made their move in unison.

The blood-colored Demon Blade was instantly blocked.

Qin Changqing charged forth in retaliation and took the offensive.

The many Saints also joined the ranks of the coordinated attack.

“Paltry tricks!”

The Immortal Emperor let out a stern voice as his aura seemingly surged once more.

No, it wasn’t his aura that was rising, but rather, he was drawing upon the power of the very heavens and earth.

To be precise, it was the power of the Ancient Ruins from this age-old era.

This place, long desolate, was akin to a forbidden zone, yet the Saints of Immortal World and the “Great Terros” were unable to harness the residual power of these ruins.

But this Immortal Emperor could!

“Quite the fellow.”

Qin Changqing quickly realized, this individual must have been the Immortal Emperor of these Ancient Ruins!

How long had he lived!

The time of his existence was probably even longer than that of the Ancient Emperors, because the era of the Ancient Emperors was only a handful of epochs from the present.

Although Qin Changqing, with the Ancient Emperor’s secret technique, had prevented him from fully recovering to an Immortal Emperor’s strength, his power soared when he tapped into the power of the Ancient Ruins.

Even Qin Changqing found himself unable to gain the upper hand facing him.

But with the concerted efforts of the many Saints, and given that his allies were now reduced to one, they could still hold him off.

In the Ancient Ruins, a massive Chaos Storm had already begun.

“Qin Changqing, stop for now!”

The Supreme Clear Dao Master said.

Both sides began to cease their attacks as if by tacit agreement.
