Chapter 1385 - 259: It’s Him!

Chapter 1385: Chapter 259: It’s Him!

I lost!

Yidao’s face was dazed, his shattered arm was regenerating flesh, yet the intense pain couldn’t catch his attention.

As a Proud Heaven truly groomed by the Heavenly Dao Sect, though he had not recognized saintly status before people, his pride was formidable.

This Hidden Dragon Conference aimed to defeat the other sects’ Proud Heavens and let the Heavenly Dao Sect seize the crown.

However.

Yidao was also very aware that the Proud Heavens of the other four sects were not ordinary; even with his strength, achieving a hundred percent victory was difficult.

Therefore, in his expectation, there was bound to be an arduous battle.

But no matter what.

Yidao would never have thought that he would fall to someone whose name he had never heard before, and moreover, in a one-sided defeat.

No.

This was beyond one-sided—it was a complete overwhelming.

Standing before Shen Changqing felt even more pressuring than standing before Shenxu.

"Who exactly are you!"

Yidao gritted his teeth as he stared at the person in front of him. He could not believe this powerful figure was merely in the God Realm.

But in his understanding, Dragon Platform would never have issues.

Moreover, even if there were issues, the strongmen outside the sects wouldn’t miss any clues.

Shen Changqing said calmly, "Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you want to continue fighting. Seeing as you are a Proud Heaven, I already spared you. If you still refuse to admit defeat, I won’t mind letting the Heavenly Dao Sect lose a Proud Heaven."

"I concede!"

Yidao looked deeply at the opponent and immediately chose to concede.

Knowing the impossibility and still doing it is not the choice of a smart person.

If he could be evenly matched with the opponent, he would not easily concede, but in this overwhelming stance, continuing would be meaningless.

Yidao believed.

If he’s no match, then the Proud Heavens of the other four sects wouldn’t be either.

The following matters were beyond his reach.

...

"Yidao has been defeated!"

Above the seat in the void, Ji Ying saw Yidao’s concession without any surprise.

To Ji Ying, Yidao’s defeat was inevitable.

Yet simultaneously.

Ji Ying also sensed a vaguely hidden crisis.

Yidao defeated, being suppressed so effortlessly—there’s no way the Heavenly Dao Sect will let it slide, and it might lead to something later.

"Seems I better be prepared first!"

This thought lingered within him, his gaze subtly cast towards the direction of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces.

...

"This person absolutely cannot be just in the God Realm!"

Shenxu was furious.

If before he considered Shen Changqing a peerless Proud Heaven, now he believed the opponent was not merely in the God Realm.

It’s not arrogance but a clear understanding of Yidao’s strength and level.

Controlling the Time Dust.

Even if the Heaven and Earth Divine King made a move, the opponent couldn’t be easily defeated.

The same God Realm wanting to suppress the opponent single-handedly is simply impossible.

Thus, only one explanation comes forth—the opponent is definitely not merely a strongman in the God Realm.

Upon hearing this.

The other sect masters now all wore solemn expressions.

Even though Yidao belonged to the Heavenly Dao Sect and fell to another strongman, they should hold a spectator’s attitude.

But a defeat needs to be considered how it’s done.

While Yidao was deploying Heavenly Dao Sect’s sect-defining ultimate technique, being suppressed single-handedly was entirely outside of their expectations.

Even Slaughter Immortal God now had an exceptionally grave expression.

"Shenxu is right; this person is definitely not merely in the God Realm, but Dragon Platform is controlled by our five sects, so it cannot be compromised. Surely something we do not know occurred."

"Judging from his strength in suppressing the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Proud Heaven, even if the other four sects’ Proud Heavens were to enter next, I’m afraid it would hardly change anything."

What do the sect masters think, since matters are as they are now, what should we do?"

Taoist Shangqing spoke slowly.

Shenxu was silent, reminiscing about something.

Demon Sect!

Shen Zhen!

Suddenly, he abruptly woke from his contemplation, showing a shocked expression: "Demon Sect Shen Zhen, Demon Town suppresses demons, surname Shen, it’s Shen Changqing!"

Shen Changqing!

Upon hearing this name, all present strongmen exchanged glances.

Qing Wei frowned slightly: "What is this Shen Changqing that Shenxu Sect Master speaks of, why have I never heard of him."

He searched his memory, confirming he had never heard of Shen Changqing.

But looking at Shenxu’s shocked visage clearly indicated this person was no ordinary figure.

Qing Wei wasn’t the only one puzzled.

Even strongmen from other factions were all perplexed.

"It’s normal you haven’t heard of him..."

Shenxu glanced at everyone, speaking word by word.

"Because he comes from outside!"

Once he said this, it roiled up a storm.

Li Gu’s face dramatically changed: "Shenxu Sect Master said this person comes from the outside!"

"An external powerful figure... could it be the mysterious expert who battled Gong Xuantian?"

Qing Wei thought of something else.

Shenxu nodded: "According to our Heavenly Dao Sect’s calculations, this person should be an ultimate expert from the outside world. Even the Supreme Elder of our Heavenly Dao Sect is not his match. Looking across the world, perhaps only Sect Master Lu is a worthy opponent."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone’s expressions changed once more.

Slaughter Immortal God!

He is the foremost expert in the world.

They were aware of the existence of powerful figures outside, but they didn’t expect Shenxu to give such a high evaluation of this person.

Soon after.

The Sect Master Lan Qing of the Falling Flower Sect shook her head slightly: "Impossible. If it’s truly as Shenxu Sect Master says, how could he enter the Dragon Platform? We are well aware of the Dragon Platform rules as we manage Dragon City.

If one’s realm exceeds the God Realm, they cannot enter, even experts at the four levels of Divine King cannot breach this rule.

Could it be that this person has broken through the Divine King Limit?"

Divine King Limit!

That signifies the existence of a Divine Lord Level.

Looking across the world, for millions of years, the Central Profound Realm has never seen a Divine Lord Realm expert.

"Naturally, it’s impossible to be a Divine Lord. If the outside world possessed a Divine Lord-level expert, they would have invaded the Central Profound Realm long ago, not waiting until now."

Shenxu shook his head and continued: "All of you are aware of the Dragon Platform rules, but do not forget one point—the Dragon Platform only specifies the God Realm. If someone does not walk the Faith Divine Path, are they then exempt from these rules?"

"You mean..."

Taoist Shangqing seemed to think of something but couldn’t be certain.

Shenxu said: "Indeed, as the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect has speculated, according to the information we received from our Heavenly Dao Sect, this person doesn’t follow the Faith Divine Path, but instead, the Ancient Immortal Path, which long vanished!"

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

When this was said, the powerful figures of the various sects immediately refuted.

Only the dominators of the Twelve Palaces looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what was wrong with the Ancient Immortal Path.

After all, the inheritance of the Twelve Palaces could not compare to that of the Five Sects.

The Five Sects understood some matters that the Twelve Palaces did not.

Seeing the confusion of the crowd, Qing Wei, the Sect Master of the Kunlun Sect, calmed down and explained solemnly: "The Ancient Immortal Path is a taboo. All our Five Sects have warnings; anyone who dares tread the Ancient Immortal Path will attract the myriad clans.

Therefore, the inheritance of the Ancient Immortal Path has long disappeared, even our Five Sects do not have the corresponding heritage.

Yet, the Ancient Immortal Path is also the most powerful system. Back when the Human Clan’s Imperial Court dominated the heavens, the system they followed was the Immortal Dao."

I see!

The dominators of the Twelve Palaces had a look of realization.

Only now did they understand why the Five Sects were so shocked upon hearing news of the Immortal Dao.

They understood how terrifying the origin of the Immortal Dao was.

The Human Clan Imperial Court!

That was the era of the most splendorous period for the Human Clan, countless ages ago.

However.

All the splendor has turned into history, recorded in ancient texts.

The current reality is that the Human Clan is oppressed by the myriad clans, confined to recuperate within the Central Profound Realm.

Shenxu said: "Although since ancient times, the Ancient Immortal Path has been taboo, it’s a fact that this person is cultivating it. If not for the Ancient Immortal Path, how could he enter the Dragon Platform?"

Upon hearing this.

The crowd fell silent again.

Yes!

If not for the Ancient Immortal Path, how could he enter the Dragon Platform?

One should know.

The Dragon Platform rules are there, whereby anyone beyond the God Realm cannot enter.

Yet the other party can easily enter the Dragon Platform and suppress a sect’s proud heaven with one hand, undoubtedly, such a powerful figure could not simply be in the God Realm.

This way, Shenxu’s words stand.

"Immortal Dao!"

When Slaughter Immortal God gazed at the Dragon Platform, his indifferent eyes suddenly turned fervent.

"Rumor has it that the Ancient Immortal Path is formidable, even stronger than the current Faith Divine Path. I am very curious about the strength of a powerful figure cultivating such a path!"

At this moment.

A strong intent to fight arose within him.

As the foremost expert in the world, he has already challenged all famed experts in the Central Profound Realm and has no rival.

Now, a sudden stranger from the outside world has appeared, cultivating the Ancient Immortal Path, and even managed to defeat Gong Xuantian.

Such strength.

Made Slaughter Immortal God feel an urge to battle.

"If he is Shen Changqing, then his purpose in coming here is by no means simple. It seems this Qianlong Assembly can’t proceed as planned!"

Shenxu’s expression was icy, his gaze fixated on the Dragon Platform.

Not long ago, the Heavenly Dao Sect had a Divine King fall at his hands, and we haven’t settled that score, yet he dared to set foot in the Central Profound Realm first, disrupting the Qianlong Assembly.

This matter, the Heavenly Dao Sect cannot let pass.

"Since you have walked into the trap, today is the day to wash away the humiliation endured by the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

An overwhelming killing intent surged within Shenxu.

Now that each sect’s powerful figures are gathered here, a mere Shen Changqing cannot cause upheaval. If we suppress him now, the outside world will no longer be a threat.

Upon realizing his identity, he no longer intended to let the Qianlong Assembly continue.

Even if he did.

This outsider must be taken down first.

Otherwise, if left to meddle in the Dragon Platform, none of the various proud heavens can match him.
