Chapter 1382: Chapter 256: A Familiar Power

In the Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

The two stood facing each other.

"Allow me to show you the Godslayer Saber Art of the Transference Divine Palace!"

Wen Tianchou’s eyes were cold; he had no intention of probing, opting instead for an all-out effort to crush all enemies with a thunderous momentum, so the Transference Divine Palace’s name could be imprinted in people’s hearts.

A vast divine light burst forth, causing the firmament to hum, a mysterious aura nurtured from within it.

"This power..."

Shen Changqing sensed the profound aura within the divine light, his gaze subtly nuanced.

If he wasn’t mistaken in his perception, the aura should belong uniquely to the Laws.

No, it wasn’t just the aura of the Laws; it even contained a hint of the taste of the Rule.

Godslayer Saber Art!

Shen Changqing was certain that although Wen Tianchou had considerable strength, touching upon the realm of the Rule was simply out of the question.

With his opponent’s strength, comprehending the Divine Ability Origin Laws would be quite an achievement.

While he speculated secretly, on the other side, Wen Tianchou’s assault had already arrived.

Divine light soared to the heavens.

The curved saber annihilated gods.

The vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth had already been enveloped by an intent to destroy heavens and earth.

At this moment.

Shen Changqing extended a hand, and under Wen Tianchou’s shocked gaze, directly grabbed the divine force-infused curved saber, then exerted force, causing the saber to shatter suddenly.

Bang—

Divine light dispersed.

All the saber intent seemed as if it were forcibly annihilated by an extremely powerful force.

"Impossible!"

Wen Tianchou was aghast, as if he had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

Godslayer Saber Art!

That was the sect-defining Ultimate Studies of the Transference Divine Palace.

He was confident that with his strength in executing the Godslayer Saber Art, even the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects couldn’t easily withstand it.

And this.

Was precisely Wen Tianchou’s confidence in being among the top ten of the Dragon City Order.

Yet now, what had he seen?

The Godslayer Saber Art he unleashed with full force was shattered with one hand by the person before him, a level of strength utterly beyond his estimation.

...

Outside the arena.

An elder from the Transference Divine Palace’s expression changed as well.

"Impossible, just who is this person!"

Powerhouses who could shatter the Godslayer Saber Art with one hand did exist, but those powerhouses had basically achieved Proof Path Divine King.

But according to the Dragon Platform’s Rule, only cultivators below Divine King level could enter.

This Rule.

Even the Five Sects couldn’t break it.

Precisely because of this.

The Transference Divine Palace elder was so shocked.

This young cultivator outside of the Five Sects could crush the Godslayer Saber Art with one hand, a level of strength not weaker than the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects.

According to his prior assumption.

Wen Tianchou should have been slaughtering all around, defeating the Proud Heaven of various forces, then directly confronting the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects. Even if ultimately defeated, it would surely be after an intense battle lasting for a long time.

Thus.

The name of the Transference Divine Palace would surely re-enter the ears of people around the world.

Hence.

Wen Tianchou wasn’t supposed to lose at this moment, and certainly shouldn’t lose to an unknown cultivator without any reputation.

However.

The elder was keenly aware.

The current situation was beyond his ability to control.

The strength of someone who could crush the Godslayer Saber Art with one hand far exceeded Wen Tianchou’s; in this battle, the Transference Divine Palace stood no chance of winning.

This scene.

Shocked not only the people of the Transference Divine Palace but also the powerhouses of the Twelve Palaces of the Five Sects.

"Just who is this person? This level of strength can completely rank among the Proud Heaven of the Twelve Palaces of the Five Sects. I have never heard of the name of Demon Sect. Could it be an unworldly hidden sect!"

The speaker was Taoist Shangqing, Sect Master of the Three Pure Sect.

Although the Transference Divine Palace had been annihilated, the sect-defining Ultimate Studies Godslayer Saber Art could rival the sect-defining Ultimate Studies of the Five Sects.

With the foundation demonstrated by Wen Tianchou paired with the Godslayer Saber Art, even the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects would find it nearly impossible to resolve it so easily.

So.

Upon seeing the Godslayer Saber Art shattered, not only did Taoist Shangqing’s expression turn heavy, but the dominators of the other four sects displayed varied expressions.

Slaughter Immortal God’s expression remained calm, his gaze fixed on Shen Changqing as if trying to discern something.

"Looking through the records of the Immortal Ascension Sect, there’s no record regarding Demon Sect, but that a Demon Sect can cultivate such a Proud Heaven is no simple matter. Likely, it’s a sect that’s been hidden from the world for a long time.

This Celestial Tournament is indeed worth watching!"

On his face, akin to an ancient well without ripples, a rare hint of smile appeared.

The Central Profound Realm is vast.

Even the Twelve Palaces of the Five Sects cannot completely dominate the entire world; the so-called Nine Provinces, Eighteen Domains can only represent a portion of the Central Profound Realm, not the whole.

Therefore.

If there really is a hidden sect, it’s not a strange thing.

In previous Celestial Tournaments, the top five of the Dragon City Order were basically divided among the Five Sects, with the remaining belonging to the Proud Heaven of the Twelve Palaces.

Instances where a dark horse emerges to knock out the existing Proud Heaven of the Twelve Palaces are very rare.

As for knocking out the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects, that’s even more impossible.

To Slaughter Immortal God, such Celestial Tournaments lacked interest, and if it weren’t for the Immortal Ascension Sect being one of the Five Sects, he wouldn’t have bothered to come here.

But now things were different.

Suddenly, a Proud Heaven from the Demon Sect emerged, and upon observing its strength, it completely had the potential to rival the Proud Heaven of the Five Sects.

Thus.

His interest was piqued.

Upon hearing this.

Shenxu spoke in a bland tone, "Isn’t Sect Master Lu worried that Ying Tianyun falling into this person’s hands will cause the Immortal Ascension Sect to suffer a disastrous defeat halfway?"

His words this time were only audible to the experts from the Five Sects Twelve Palaces.

Apart from that,

The cultivators in other seatings of the void could not hear a single word.

"If Ying Tianyun loses, it only proves that his strength is insufficient; he can blame no one else. From Shenxu Sect Master’s words, could it be that he can’t afford to lose?"

Slaughter Immortal God retorted, showing no regard for the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Shenxu’s expression was indifferent, "If neither Sect Master Lu fears defeat, why should my Heavenly Dao Sect fear it? Besides, defeating a Tianjiao of the Transference Divine Palace is nothing, let alone if he can match the Tianjiao of my Heavenly Dao Sect."

Although he spoke lightly, there was a trace of apprehension in his eyes.

It wasn’t that he had no confidence in Yidao.

But when Shen Changqing easily defeated Wen Tianchou, it was too effortless.

Shenxu could see that although Wen Tianchou was at Divine Realm Perfection, his overall strength was not inferior to that of a Divine King.

Such strength could be easily defeated, so Shen Changqing’s strength is imaginable.

"Demon Sect... Shen Zhen!"

Upon seeing these two names, a peculiar feeling arose in his heart.

It seemed like,

he had heard this name somewhere, but upon closer thought, he had no impression.

But clearly,

the Demon Sect had already caught the eye of the Five Sects Twelve Palaces.

Especially the dominators of the Twelve Palaces, their eyes were filled with intense killing intent when they looked at Shen Changqing.

The opponent’s displayed strength was astonishing, yet it might not necessarily defeat the Tianjiao of the Five Sects.

However,

the Tianjiao of the Twelve Palaces found it very difficult to be his opponent.

With this,

it was almost certain that the Twelve Palaces’ rankings would drop a level based on the original foundation.

Upon thinking of this,

The dominators of each palace exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other’s thoughts.

Then,

Biyun Palace Master Li Gu spoke, "Shenxu Sect Master, the rankings of the Dragon City are extraordinary. If a Tianjiao from outside the Five Sects Twelve Palaces enters the top ranks, it would be a disgrace to us.

In my opinion, this person absolutely cannot enter the top ranks of the Dragon City."

"This person’s strength is formidable, whether he can enter the top ranks of the Dragon City is beyond what you or I can decide."

Shenxu replied calmly, in no hurry.

Upon hearing this,

Li Gu cursed silently: Old fox!

But outwardly he maintained his composure and said in a deep voice, "This person is indeed strong, but to say he can contend against all the Tianjiao of our Five Sects Twelve Palaces is impossible.

I believe we should first concentrate our strength to suppress his ranking, in this way we can save our face."

Shenxu remained silent.

He had already understood Li Gu’s intentions long ago.

The Five Sects controlling Dragon City surely wouldn’t be without means.

In fact,

As long as the Five Sects wished, they could purposefully arrange who each cultivator’s opponent would be.

Therefore,

until the end, the Tianjiao of the Five Sects would not truly confront each other.

This matter is a secret to other factions, but among the people of the Five Sects Twelve Palaces, it’s a tacit understanding.

In fact,

Shenxu internally leaned towards agreeing.

After all, the strength that Shen Changqing displayed didn’t just threaten the Twelve Palaces, even his Heavenly Dao Sect faced a significant threat.

With this thought,

He immediately looked towards the other sect dominators.

"Regarding the proposal by the Biyun Palace Master, what do you all think?"

"Whatever you decide, our Kunlun Sect has no opinion."

Qing Wei’s expression was calm.

The Falling Flower Sect and Three Pure Sect both expressed agreement.

When Shenxu looked towards the Immortal Ascension Sect, Slaughter Immortal God said indifferently, "I don’t care what you do, but don’t involve the Immortal Ascension Sect, otherwise don’t blame me for disregarding the Five Sects’ sentiment." ℯ

"Since Sect Master Lu is unwilling to participate, then so be it."

Shenxu replied blandly.

The decision to deal with Shen Changqing by the Five Sects Twelve Palaces wouldn’t significantly change with or without the Immortal Ascension Sect.

If their current strength couldn’t manage it, having one more Ying Tianyun wouldn’t change much either.

——

In the Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

Shen Changqing crushed the Godslayer Saber Art with one hand and then looked at Wen Tianchou, "Will you admit defeat yourself, or do you plan to fall here?"

He didn’t immediately attack, but gave the other party a chance.

The strength Wen Tianchou exhibited was considerable, enough to reach the Tianjiao level among the Heavens Myriad Clans.

In Shen Changqing’s view,

Any Tianjiao from the Central Profound Realm would, in the future, be a strong figure of the Imperial Court.

If he didn’t have to kill, he wouldn’t.

But if the opponent truly didn’t know what’s good for them, then there was nothing much to discuss; cultivating a Tianjiao might be difficult, but having one more or less didn’t have a significant impact.

Opposite him,

Wen Tianchou’s face fluctuated with struggle, and after a long time, he made his decision.

"I admit defeat!"

With those three words, he seemed deflated, his mindset greatly impacted.

"Don’t be discouraged; being able to engage with me will be something you can take pride in later."

Shen Changqing said with a faint smile.

In response,

Wen Tianchou seemed unconcerned, as a golden light descended, enveloping him.

As the light faded, only a Dragon City Order remained.
