Chapter 3486 The Immortal Sword of Slaying Karma

"Shen Changqing—"

An angry voice came from the chaos, and the sky changed color in an instant.

But the next breath.

Then Shen Changqing swung his sword, and the Zhuxian Sword Qi pierced through the sky, tearing apart the nine heavens in an instant, heading directly into the depths of chaos.

The moment the layers of space collapsed, a figure appeared. The person's face showed anger and shock as he looked at Shen Changqing.

Seeing the crimson sword energy coming, he unleashed a palm strike, intending to shatter the sword energy, but he underestimated the power of this sword.

finally.

The sword energy pierced through the palm's protective energy, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound in the opponent's palm. In the instant of being injured, the person turned and left without lingering.

next interest.

The shattered space is healed anew.

Everything happened in an instant, and by the time others reacted, everything had calmed down.

But what they had just witnessed still shocked many cultivators.

That breath.

It has already surpassed the Celestial Emperor by a great margin.

obviously.

The being who attempted to seize the treasure was an unknown demigod, but ultimately failed and was injured and forced to flee.

now.

Shen Changqing looked at the immortal sword in his hand and saw that its blade was as red as blood, exuding an extremely pure killing aura.

"A second-grade innate imperial weapon!"

"good--"

Shen Changqing was satisfied with the sword. The half-saint who had just attacked was quite powerful. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't have been easy for him to defeat the opponent.

But with this sword in hand, it would be easy to make them retreat.

original.

Shen Changqing felt that his strength was at most comparable to that of a half-saint who had just entered the second tribulation.

However, with such a treasure in hand, he was confident that he could fight against any half-saint below the third tribulation.

"From this day forward, your name shall be Zhanye!"

Killing is for the sake of protecting life!

Slaying karma, not killing people!

The words fell.

Then they heard the longsword hum softly, seemingly satisfied with the name.

But that's it.

A terrifying aura suddenly appeared from the sky.

that moment.

Shen Changqing felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

In an instant, he tore through the void and left the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

But just as Shen Changqing left, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, engulfing the entire Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

The intense lightning was filled with the aura of death, causing everyone to instinctively hold their breath, their eyes filled with horror.

"This is... divine punishment!"

When Shen Changqing left the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone and returned to Heavenly Soldier City, he looked back towards the Forbidden Zone, and the terrifying power there made his expression change.

Compared to the divine punishment we are facing now, the tribulation we just experienced is nothing.

soon.

Shen Changqing understood the reason for the divine punishment.

The power of the calamity failed to destroy the Yin spirit, but it completely tore apart the power of the Yellow Springs within the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone.

In this way, the Yin Gods hiding in the forbidden area are naturally exposed to the eyes of Heaven.

therefore.

Divine punishment descended.

This was done to completely annihilate the Yin spirits.

"Roar!"

The moment the divine punishment descended, the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone trembled, and terrifying, distorted phantoms suddenly coalesced, unleashing a thick, filthy, and eerie power in an attempt to resist the divine punishment.

however--

Even a demigod with immortality has no chance of resisting divine punishment.

Not to mention that the Yin God was severely injured at this moment, and his strength was far less than it had been at its peak.

Divine punishment descended.

The Yin spirits had no chance to resist.

"boom!!!"

The destructive lightning, of utmost strength and yang, fiercely tore apart and annihilated that strange power, finally striking the body of the Yin God.

With a sharp scream, the terrifyingly twisted and enormous body of the Yin God instantly became much thinner, and it was in danger of dissipating at any moment.

boom!

boom! ! !

The heavenly punishments fell one after another, and the Yin spirits were utterly powerless against such force.

During the third heavenly punishment, the Yin God's body became extremely thin, almost to the point of being invisible to the naked eye.

As the fourth heavenly punishment descended, the Yin God let out a resentful roar, and its body instantly vanished.

The fifth heavenly punishment descended.

All the remaining traces of the Yin spirits vanished without a trace and never existed again.

With the demise of the Yin spirits, the Heavenly Punishment also vanished.

"it's over!"

All the cultivators who witnessed this scene instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were only five Heavenly Punishments, their terrifying power was already imprinted in the minds of many cultivators, becoming a nightmare-like existence.

Many Celestial Emperors trembled in fear; the power of the Heavenly Punishment was terrifying.

The Heavenly Soldiers City was also completely silent.

Everyone was still reeling from the divine punishment that had just occurred and couldn't quite come to their senses for a long time.

"This is divine punishment. It grows stronger when faced with strength. Even those who are immortal rarely have a chance of survival when confronted with divine punishment!"

Bai Lianchuan's expression was complicated, and the shock in his eyes had not completely disappeared.

The power of divine punishment.

This even alarmed the Lord of Tianzhu Mansion.

In particular, since Tianzhu Mansion is located right next to the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone, the power of such divine punishment is even more pronounced.

Fortunately.

The divine punishment did not have a wide-ranging impact; it only covered the entire Forbidden Zone of the Underworld.

if not.

These forces descend.

Let alone Heavenly Soldier City, even the entire Heavenly Soldier Prefecture would probably be reduced to ashes.

Shen Changqing said, "When the Heavenly Punishment descended, the Yin Gods perished, and the vast Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone ceased to exist. However, the power of that Heavenly Punishment still remains and has not truly dissipated."

When the power of heavenly punishment dissipates, then these fifteen prefectures will have hope of regaining their vitality!

but.

This will take a long time.

Unless a powerful being intervenes and personally eliminates these remaining divine punishment forces completely.

at this point.

Shen Changqing could actually do it too.

After all, the Yin God in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone wasn't very strong, so the Heavenly Punishment that descended this time wasn't too powerful either.

If it were a normal heavenly punishment of this level, even if it were complete, Shen Changqing would have the confidence to overcome it.

But the reason why divine punishment is divine punishment is because its power varies from person to person.

If it is a heavenly punishment bestowed by an Immortal Emperor, then such a heavenly punishment may only be slightly more powerful than that of an Immortal Emperor.

However, if this Immortal Emperor has an innate imperial weapon to protect him, then the power of Heavenly Punishment will instantly step into the level of a half-saint, destroying all obstacles and then completely annihilating the one who attracted the Heavenly Punishment.

It can be said.

The power of divine punishment is limitless.

No matter how powerful the person undergoing tribulation is, divine punishment will always be able to annihilate them.

unless.

If those undergoing tribulation have a way to conceal their existence and prevent the heavenly punishment from finding them, then that's another matter.

Therefore, if the target of the Heavenly Punishment was not the Yin God, but Shen Changqing himself, then the power of such a Heavenly Punishment would definitely not be so simple.

For a moment.

Shen Changqing wanted to see if the power of divine punishment could break through the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower.

but.

The idea had barely crossed his mind when he dismissed it.

No one wants to provoke divine retribution unless absolutely necessary.

What's more.

If the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, this supreme treasure will surely attract the attention of many powerful figures, and at that time, these powerful figures will definitely try to seize it.

This is obvious without even thinking about it.

The innate imperial weapon from the Heavenly Forging Palace back then attracted the attention of many half-saints, and even a nine-tribulation half-saint.

If the Seven Mysterious Divine Tower can withstand the heavenly punishment, let alone a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint, even a Saint Supreme or the legendary Dao Venerable might step forward to seize it.

Got to that point.

It is unlikely that Shen Changqing left behind such a treasure.

But if the Seven Mysterious Divine Towers cannot withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, then there's even less to say.

If you can't overcome the divine punishment, then you're doomed.

therefore.

From any perspective, provoking divine punishment would bring Shen Changqing no benefit whatsoever.

at this time.

Bai Lianchuan then focused his gaze on the longsword in Shen Changqing's hand.

"This is the supreme treasure forged from the forged weapon, a second-grade innate imperial weapon. It is indeed extraordinary—"

Innate imperial weapons are divided into nine grades. With the vision of a seventh-level weapon-refining grandmaster, how could he not see the grade of a supreme treasure?

now.

Bai Lianfeng and the others also looked at the Zhan Ye Immortal Sword with burning eyes, but not much greed.

Even the most precious treasure is wonderful.

But it also depends on who has it.

Shen Changqing laughed and said, "This sword is called Zhanye. If it weren't for the joint efforts of everyone, I alone would not have been able to truly forge it."

To be honest, I owe Tianzhu Mansion a favor this time.

If the Heavenly Forging Bureau ever needs anything in the future, just ask. As long as it's within my power, I will never refuse!

Just as he said, if it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Forging Palace, Shen Changqing wouldn't have been confident in forging the Immortal Sword of Slaying Karma on his own.

The forging of such precious treasures is so meticulous that any deviation could lead to failure.

Even if it were successfully forged and reached the level of an Innate Emperor Weapon, it would only be a first-grade weapon at most, with no possibility of reaching the second-grade.

The birth of a second-grade innate imperial weapon requires perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious human relations.

Not to mention.

The refining of the tenth-order immortal fire from the Heavenly Forging Palace, as well as the final quenching with the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Liquid, are also of particular importance.

One thing is missing.

It would be impossible for the Immortal Sword of Slaying Karma to possess its current rank and power.

and so.

This time.

Shen Changqing owes Tianzhu Mansion a huge favor.

"These are all things that the Heavenly Forging Bureau should do!"

Bai Lianchuan smiled broadly, clearly pleased with Shen Changqing's words.

Even if Shen Changqing offered a certain amount of immortal stones as a reward, Bai Lianchuan wouldn't care too much about it.

How can something like a magic stone compare to the favor of a powerful person?

What's more.

Shen Changqing is no ordinary strongman.

This being is destined to achieve immortality in the future.

With this favor in place, Bai Lianchuan believed that if he were to pass away one day and the Tianzhu Mansion were to face a generational gap, he could rely on this favor to ensure the longevity of the Tianzhu Mansion and prevent the lineage from being severed due to the decline of its power.

It can be said.

To put it mildly, this favor only requires Shen Changqing to lend a hand once.

On a grander scale, this represents the true foundation upon which the Heavenly Forging Palace will be passed down for eternity. (End of Chapter)
