"The Twelve Palaces."
Qing Di spoke.
His voice lingered, sounding as if from another world.
In his voice, there was a hint of sighing: "Interesting, now I am very curious about your identity."
After speaking…
"Buzz."
The ageless root swayed.
Each branch was a great dao.
The great dao of wood, endless vitality.
A branch pierced through the void and arrived instantly before Zun Shang.
Twelve Palaces, he had known this organization for a long time.
He had never paid attention to it.
In the Eastern Continent, he, Qing Di, was the supreme deity.
A small underground organization like the Twelve Palaces could not attract his attention.
And now, he had noticed.
Ch!
The branch drew the trajectory of a great dao, piercing directly towards Zun Shang's brow.
Zun Shang would naturally not sit still and wait for death.
He raised his finger and gently tapped.
"Boom."
The great dao was in turmoil.
The huge roar was like the thunder god beating his drums.
Dao ripples spread, and figures were directly annihilated under the dao ripples.
Apart from Di Zun, no one could survive at close range.
Bang bang bang.
Figures exploded, dying.
Although Di Zun could withstand it, the rules within his body were shaken.
At the same time, he spat out mouthfuls of blood.
"Retreat quickly."
Even a third-tier Di Zun could not withstand it.
For a time, everyone retreated in terror.
Zun Shang was definitely a Heavenly Emperor.
"Could it really be the Black Emperor?"
For a moment, everyone felt lost.
In the Immortal Realm, besides the Five Heavenly Emperors, were there other Heavenly Emperors?
It was hard to say, but it was almost certain that there were not.
Apart from the Five Heavenly Emperors, there were no other Heavenly Emperors.
But… who dared to be 100% sure that there weren't?
For a moment, everyone was lost.
Was it the Black Emperor?
"Ling Gan Yang."
Zun Shang spoke again: "A battle beyond the heavens."
Whoosh.
The ageless root swayed.
Qing Di shook his head: "No need. Although it was just a simple touch, I already know your realm. Killing you is as easy as turning over my hand."
Confidence from Qing Di.
"Is that so?"
Zun Shang's smile was terrifying: "Then… let's try."
"Boom."
Zun Shang disappeared instantly.
Not teleportation, but walking along the traces of the dao.
He appeared before the ageless root.
A large hand, covering the sky and the sun, slammed down.
"Boom."
Green light bloomed.
The radiance of the ageless root resisted the giant hand that was pressing down from the void.
A roar shook the heavens and the earth.
The green light and the giant hand both shattered.
"First move."
Zun Shang laughed heartily.
His body hovered in the air, his hands quickly forming seals.
A golden imperial platform appeared and plummeted down.
"Suppress."
The golden imperial platform was as tall as a three-story building, suppressing heaven and earth.
The moment the sound of a single word spread, the golden imperial platform had already fallen, smashing towards the ageless root again.
Boom.
The golden imperial platform suppressed heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth were shattering, and everything was annihilated under the golden platform.
"Crackle."
Only the branches of the ageless root were still swaying.
Branches rose up, propping up the golden platform.
The golden platform could not fall.
The next moment, Qing Di raised his hand and gently tapped.
"Buzz."
A branch gushed out from his fingertip.
The branch was radiant, sharper than a spear.
The branch pierced through the golden platform, and a destructive aura spread across the heavens and the earth.
Bang.
The golden platform exploded.
Amidst the sounds of "bang bang", the crown of the ageless root also exploded.
The golden platform, its aura terrifying.
The exploding aura spread in all directions like a storm.
Rumble.
This piece of heaven and earth turned into a land of destruction.
As Qing Di raised his hand, everything fell into stillness.
Erase.
Before the colliding auras could spread, they were erased by Qing Di with a casual wave of his hand.
This was a Heavenly Emperor.
A Heavenly Emperor controlled a domain.
This time, Qing Di spoke proactively: "Second strike…"
It seemed like a smile bloomed on his face.
He said: "Heavenly Emperors control a world. Wherever I am, everything is under my control. This is the last strike, seize the opportunity."
Qing Di was extremely confident.
"Hahaha."
Zun Shang laughed heartily: "Good, good, come… take my third move."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a "boom," thunder exploded in the sky.
In that endless thunder, a divine sword flashed in the boundless thunder, as if bathing in a vast sea of lightning.
Initially, the divine sword was only palm-sized.
The next moment, it absorbed the power of the thunder and continuously expanded.
The thunder and dark clouds were all absorbed by the sword.
The sword of thunder instantly bloomed.
"Kill."
With a single sword, it fell with the power of splitting the heavens.
Rumble.
The sky was torn apart.
Even the three people by the Origin River were alarmed.
"This sword…"
The will of the Immortal Realm's pupils contracted: "It probably has the power of a peak fourth-tier."
Huang Di and Chi Di did not answer, but a hint of solemnity appeared on their faces.
Yes, this sword was extremely strong.
"Can it injure Ling Gan Yang?" Chi Di asked.
He didn't know who he was asking.
Huang Di answered proactively: "There is a chance…"
Indeed, there was a chance, and a great one.
This sword had the power of a peak fourth-tier. Apart from Huang Di, no one dared to say they could take this sword without any harm.
The three fell silent.
…
And at this moment, that sword seemed to illuminate the ancient heavens.
The sword of thunder destroyed heaven and earth.
The light of the entire Eastern Continent was stripped away by this sword.
This sword seemed to have become the core of the heavens and earth of the Immortal Realm.
Qing Di was also a little moved.
His tone carried a hint of solemnity: "Palace Master of the Twelve Palaces, who exactly are you?"
This sword was too powerful.
"Hahaha."
Zun Shang laughed heartily: "Third move, Ling Gan Yang, come and kill me, come on, hahaha…"
I am seeking death.
Why don't you come and kill me?
Zun Shang was like a madman at this moment.
The power of the seven emotions and six desires continuously emanated from his body, infinitely expanding the power of desire.
Boom!
The thunder divine sword fell.
The imperial palace on the ageless root was swaying precariously.
The ageless root seemed unable to bear the weight of this massive imperial palace anymore.
Crackling!
The sword fell, and all things collapsed.
Everything, including space, was shattering.
"Hoo."
Qing Di's expression was solemn.
He still did not make any grand movements.
All he did was raise his hand and press down.
The stars shifted.
In his hand, a hand suddenly appeared above the thunder divine sword.
That hand was as large as the heavens, and it grabbed the thunder divine sword.
The next moment…
Boom~!
The giant hand, carrying the power of the thunder divine sword, slammed towards Zun Shang.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zun Shang's figure was covered by that palm.
The heavens and earth collapsed.
Zun Shang's figure shattered inch by inch under that palm.
"Three moves."
Qing Di's voice was calm.
He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the person beneath his hand.
Three moves, just three moves. He was a Heavenly Emperor, a overlord who had suppressed the Eastern Continent for 100,000 years.
His word was the Heavenly Emperor's imperial decree.
"No…"
In the distance, the people brought by Zun Shang were stunned.
The situation that had been reversed by the addition of the Northern Continent's power had completely collapsed due to Zun Shang's death.
That was a Heavenly Emperor!
As long as Qing Di willed it, he could erase them all with a wave of his hand.
Terror spread.
Some even let out a roar of despair: "It's over, the Immortal Realm will sink today."
With Zun Shang's death, the others would not survive either.
Without their resistance, the Dark Realm would inevitably descend.
The Immortal Realm would be devoured.
