Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 563 562: The Sword Comes!!

The Xuantian Bird of Destiny, descending to give birth to Shang!

"Zi Qi," the ancestor of Yin Shang, was one of the Five Emperors of ancient times, a son of Emperor Ku and his wife Jian Di, and the elder brother of Emperor Yao. It was said that before his birth, a decree of the Heavenly Emperor had sent down the Xuantian Bird as an auspicious sign, blessing him with immense Divine Skills from the very beginning!

Later, Zi Qi was appointed by Emperor Yao to rule over the land of Shang, thus the lineage of the Shang tribe began. The later generations of Yin Shang were descendants of this tribe, and the current Shang family of Meyi are among those descendants!

Offspring of the ancient Five Emperors, favored by the Heavenly Emperor with auspicious omens, born with immense Divine Skills! Such a bloodline, how supremely noble!! In ancient times, this was a lineage that could make all beings prostrate in worship, a bloodline of natural-born kings!

Therefore, even though Yin Shang was no longer in existence, its descendants still took pride in their heritage, absolutely forbidding the slaying of any Yin Shang descendant by those of inferior bloodlines! Although the current Shang family of Meyi are considered a branch of the Yin Shang descendants, the only ones who are truly recognized by the main Yin Shang line are usually the Family Heads who have inherited the "Zi" surname across generations!

Zi Can, the Semi-Saint who had lived in the mortal world for six hundred years and was about to become a true Saint, was so esteemed that even the main Yin Shang line, which had long left Earth to dwell in an alien void, highly regarded him. Yet, before Zi Can could truly become a Saint, he was killed, and by a nobody who had sprung from nowhere at that!!

A crime worthy of a thousand deaths! Indeed, a crime worthy of a thousand deaths!!

As a result, there was not a moment's hesitation from the people of the main Yin Shang line—after Zi Can's murder, a Martial Saint directly descended in an avatar, tearing through the void and arriving on Earth!

"Sinner! Take your own life swiftly! This Seat shall grant you an intact corpse!"

The giant Xuantian Bird in the sky let out a deafening cry. This massive bird, over a hundred li long and darkening the skies, merely by speaking, caused the clouds in the sky for hundreds of li around to surge and rise, nearly piercing the heavens! The tremendous voice also carried extremely terrifying power. As the sound spread, the earth began to shake violently, the ground splitting open. Even many mountains over a hundred meters tall collapsed and crumbled!

Terror! It was truly terrifying! What kind of power was this? What sort of being could be so formidable!?!

Dumbfounded! They were utterly dumbfounded! All present were dumbstruck, gazing up at the giant Xuantian Bird in the sky in disbelief, their eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost, exclaiming in shock!

"My God! What is that! What is that!? A Warship from the cosmos? It's too big!!"

"Could this be the descent of an ancient behemoth to the mortal realm? Even the seventy-kilometer-long Qingtong Mountain seems to be overshadowed by this bird!!"

"Too horrifying! It was supposed to be just an ambush against a peak Innate fighter! Why has this happened! Why, why is this happening!?"

The continuous shocks and the deaths around them were pushing the few Semi-Saints present towards a spiritual breakdown; the turn of events was entirely beyond their expectations!

So unexpected! It was truly far too unexpected! Whether it was the earlier death of the King of Shang, Zi Can, struck down by Qin Xuantian's lightning, or the arrival of this terrifying giant Xuantian Bird now, they all felt something in their hearts—

This world has become different! Compared to before, it has become even more different!!

Even though Spiritual Energy had not fully recovered and the Laws were still in flux, presenting opportunities, strong experts were already emerging in endless succession! Once, Semi-Saints could dominate a region, reigning supreme over lands and rivers! But now, they seemed as if they could be crushed like ants with no effort at all!

Why!?! Why is it like this? It shouldn't be!!

BOOM! BOOM!

The firmament trembled, the earth quaked, but Qin Heng remained as steady as Mount Tai. He stood in the heavens, looking at the Xuantian Bird, which resembled a primordial behemoth, and said indifferently, "Xuantian Bird of Destiny? Even the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't dare to speak to me in such a manner in my presence!"

As he spoke, he gently lifted his palm, grasped at the void as if seizing all things in heaven and earth, and then, with a fierce yank, pulled down hard!!

BOOM!

It was a roaring sound indescribable in words, as if heaven and earth had exploded in that instant. Everyone present felt a darkness before their eyes, then saw a colossal hand rise from below, shooting up towards the sky! Indeed! It fiercely grasped the wing of the Xuantian Bird in the sky, and with a sudden exertion of force, like a primordial Heavenly God subduing a Starry Sky behemoth, it clutched the wing and forcefully squeezed!!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!

The sound of bones shattering was incessant. Especially since this giant Xuantian Bird was so enormous, the breaking of its bones was like mountains collapsing, deafening to hear! This left the crowd below horrified to the core, looking up at Qin Heng in the sky with disbelief.

"My God!" they exclaimed. Just how strong is Qin Xuantian? Is there no limit to his power?!?

"AAAAHHH!!" The giant Xuantian Bird let out an immensely enraged roar. "Ants! Ants! Ants!! You dare to insult the Heavenly Emperor, and you dare to harm my avatar! You are courting death!!"

He shook his other wing, attempting to fly away, but then saw Qin Heng raise his other hand and firmly clench the other wing as well, rendering him immobile!

Now everyone was stunned, watching the sky in utter disbelief! The giant Xuantian Bird, which moments ago had been overwhelmingly powerful, almost suppressing heaven and earth, now looked like a powerless chick in Qin Heng's hands, effortlessly caught!

Horror! It was utter horror! He was like a monster, so powerful it didn't seem human!!

At this moment, all the Semi-Saints of Yu State wished they could slap themselves. What insanity had possessed them to think of killing such a monster?!?

Then, a shocking scene occurred that left them agape!!

With a loud RIP! Qin Heng's two giant hands, condensed from Mana, brutally tore to the sides, actually ripping off one of the giant Xuantian Bird's wings by force!!

"AAAAHHH!!" The giant Xuantian Bird let out an extremely agonizing scream, struggling and trying to escape, but it was futile. In Qin Heng's presence, he had not the slightest ability to resist!!

This Xuantian Bird, resembling a primordial behemoth, had its wing torn off by Qin Heng, but there was no burst of blood, and no splatter of blood across the sky. Instead, streams of flame issued from the wounds of the giant Xuantian Bird. In the eyes of the onlookers, it looked like two rivers of flame, stretching over ten li, ceaselessly spouting scorching fire!!

When Emperor Yao enfeoffed Zi Qi, the ancestor of Yin Shang, in the land of Shang, he also granted him dominion over fire. Thus, the descendants of the Shang lineage also possessed the power of flames within their bloodlines. Although this Xuantian Bird was merely an avatar of a Divine Soul that had descended, its strength was truly that of a Saint. A drop of its blood could crush the mountains of this fallen age!

Now, as such blood of flames flowed forth, it was akin to two terrifying fire waterfalls. If they were to fall, they would instantly turn Qingtong Mountain, for tens of li around, into a sea of fire!! Even half of Runan City would be affected!!

Below Innate! Certain death without a doubt!!

It was over!! At this point, whether it be the Semi-Saints of Yu State or Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong, all turned pale with fright!!

"Hahahaha! Ants, you've injured my avatar, committed a terrible sin! You will be smitten by divine punishment!!" The Xuantian Bird actually started to laugh, its enormous, broken body suspended in mid-air, taking perverse joy in the situation.

"Little chick, you're overthinking it!" Qin Heng sneered. His gaze swept over the fire waterfalls pouring down from the heavens, a trace of lucid radiance like the clear moonlight flashing through his eyes. He bellowed loudly, "Sword, come!!!"
