Chapter 529: 528
Heavenly Essence surged, causing wind and clouds to sweep across the sky!
The overpowering aura swept through the heavens and the earth in all directions. Dazzling azure light sparkled in the night sky, and the trees in the courtyard of the Lius were all enveloped in a glowing mist at this moment.
The branches swayed as if paying homage to some supreme existence.
All the guests present couldn't help but look towards the sky, at the giant palm formed from the condensation of Heavenly Essence—a palm spanning over ten meters. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was like an eclipse, capable of covering everything!
BOOM!
That gigantic hand crashed down, shattering the void. Layers of air currents exploded, forming cyclones that swept around, blowing many people away!
Terrifying! It was truly too terrifying! What kind of power was this?! The person hadn't even arrived, yet such a formidable attack had been conjured out of thin air! So strong! It was truly too strong!
WHOOSH WHOOSH!
With the gusting wind, the gigantic palm had already arrived before Qin Heng!
As the palm passed, Heavenly Essence of various attributes was repelled, dissipating in all directions; even Qin Heng's hair was slightly stirred.
It was as if the Blue Emperor from the highest heavens had reached down with his hand, imbued with the true meaning of life and death, flourishing and decay, capable of isolating all forces not contained within this palm!
It actually wanted to repel and push Qin Heng away to save Liu Nan.
"Master! Save me!"
Seeing this giant hand, hearing that voice, and feeling the power of that force, Liu Nan was overjoyed and cried out, "Master! Kill this little beast! Save me!"
"Miscreant! Shut your mouth!" The voice was ethereal, as if drifting in from beyond the skies. The actual person hadn't yet arrived. "Mr. Xuantian, I am Ren Zongyu, Elder of the Blue Emperor Sect's Hall of Eternal Life. Could you possibly do me a favor, show mercy, and spare my disciple's life?"
As the voice echoed, the azure radiance between heaven and earth grew stronger and more vibrant. A faintly visible illusion of a towering tree could be seen, causing the people of the Lius and the guests to exclaim in admiration, calling it a divine manifestation!
A Semi-Saint's phenomenon! This Elder Ren Zongyu of the Blue Emperor Sect had already condensed the illusion of a Saint's phenomenon; he possessed the body of a Semi-Saint! His strength was formidable.
Although he was pleading, his demeanor showed no weakness. The azure light and phenomenon grew increasingly stronger, and the suspended azure giant hand also emitted an increasingly powerful repelling force.
He was prepared to strike Qin Heng with his full might at any moment!
"Heh." Qin Heng snorted coldly, saying indifferently, "Do you a favor? What a joke! Even if the Blue Emperor himself were here, he'd have to kneel and pay homage before me! Who do you think you are?"
CRACK!
With a squeeze of his hand, Qin Heng cleanly and decisively crushed Liu Nan's neck, killing him on the spot!
Qin Heng was very familiar with the power and aura of the martial arts practiced by this Blue Emperor Sect; it was clearly a variation of the power of the Wood Dao. The ultimate goal was undoubtedly to control the Laws of Wood.
It was definitely inherited from the Blue Emperor! Qin Heng had seen the Blue Emperor in his past life in the Immortal Realm. He was one of the Five Great Emperors, governing the Wood Dao across the infinite universes of all heavens and myriad worlds, the Ancestor of all Woods, and possessed the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal! In the Immortal Realm, he was an undeniable powerhouse! Yet, before Immortal Emperor Qin Heng, who had attained the Eternal and transcended Primordial Chaos, he was truly nothing!
Upon hearing Qin Heng's words, Ren Zongyu became instantly enraged. Previously unseen, he suddenly transformed into a streak of azure light from the horizon, like an arrow of light, slicing through the night sky and descending above the Lius' compound.
"Qin Heng! I respected your considerable strength and addressed you as Mr. Xuantian, yet you dare insult my sect's founding ancestor! Are you determined to make an enemy of the Blue Emperor Sect?!" Ren Zongyu stood suspended in the void, looking down at Qin Heng below. His right palm radiated azure light, seemingly connected to the giant Heavenly Essence hand suspended in the sky!
"Ant, why waste your breath? I can extinguish the Blue Emperor Sect with a flip of my hand. Have you come seeking death?" Qin Heng said indifferently, without even lifting an eyelid. "If you've come seeking death, I don't mind sending you on your way."
WHOOSH!
Just at that moment, Liu Nan's corpse in Qin Heng's hands unexpectedly burst into flames, instantly engulfed by a wisp of azure flame, and turned into a pile of ash!
Simultaneously, an azure human-shaped phantom condensed beside Ren Zongyu. Three seconds later, it transformed back into Liu Nan's appearance—he actually hadn't died!
"Hahahaha! Qin Heng, I bet you didn't see that coming!" Liu Nan, extremely arrogant, pointed at Qin Heng and burst into laughter. "I have a death-substituting secret treasure bestowed by the sect! You can't kill me at all!
Master! This brat is impudent and ignorant! Just now, he even dared to address our sect's founding ancestor by name and even insulted him! He truly deserves to die a thousand deaths! Please, Master, act and execute this little beast!"
In Liu Nan's view, Qin Heng was simply no match for his master. After all, Ren Zongyu was already a Semi-Saint-level powerhouse, possessing the phantom of a Saint's phenomenon, naturally capable of suppressing any Martial Artist below the Semi-Saint level. Moreover, he had cultivated the 'Blue Emperor Eternal Life Technique' to an extremely profound degree; his Azure Wood Spiritual Body was on the verge of transforming into an Azure Wood Saintly Body! With such strength, even among Semi-Saints, it would be hard to find a rival, let alone a mere Qin Heng, who was utterly insignificant and could surely be crushed with a flick of the hand!
"It's not as simple as you think. This is Qin Xuantian!" Ren Zongyu looked at Qin Heng with a grave expression, took a deep breath, and said, "However, I, your master, also don't believe all the rumors are true; there cannot be such a strong existence at the pinnacle of the Innate realm in this world!
Qin Xuantian! I do not know how strong you are, but your arrogance is indeed as rumored. Come then! Let me see if you truly possess the capital for such arrogance!
Take this move from me—Blue Emperor Wood Emperor Palm!"
At the same time, he violently pressed down his palm. The phantom of a towering tree rose behind him, its light, tens of thousands of zhang high, illuminated the night sky!
BOOM!
The giant Yuan Qi hand, previously lingering in the sky, slammed down from above. As the towering tree shook its branches and leaves, it directly stirred the Yuan Qi of the Wood Dao between heaven and earth, connecting with it and gathering Spiritual Energy!
It even intertwined Law and principle, condensing them into that palm!
In the blink of an eye, the hand, previously just over ten meters long, suddenly grew to over a hundred meters. Its five fingers were like coiling dragon pillars, truly as if the primordial Blue Emperor had descended and reached out to crush everything below!
Its might was unparalleled! Utterly terrifying!
The people of the Lius and the guests who had come to offer birthday congratulations felt their scalps tingle and their bodies tremble. In their eyes, this was simply the work of Immortals, something mortals could not possibly withstand.
Too strong! Way too strong! Faced with such an attack, Qin Heng was doomed!
"You little beast, you're definitely dead this time!" Intense killing intent flickered in Liu Zhengfeng's eyes.
At this moment, however, Qin Heng stood motionless, as if scared witless, having even forgotten to dodge.
It's over! He's as good as dead!
That's what everyone was thinking.
However, just as the palm was about to strike Qin Heng, he shifted his body slightly and glanced at the palm.
Instantly, from his pupils, an infinite amount of azure light burst forth!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The light filled the void, tearing through the air!
As rays of light intersected, sounds like clashing metal exploded, reaching everyone's ears.
In that mere instant!
The azure light emanating from Qin Heng's eyes enveloped more than half of the Lius' courtyard!
An indifferent voice followed, "Ants, watch closely. See what the true Wood Dao is, what the true meaning of life and death, flourishing and decay is! And what it truly means to be the Wood Emperor!"
