Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2357: Chapter 2356: You Have Truly Disappointed Me!

As that sound, seemingly intent on destroying the entire Heaven and Earth, boomed, a silence appeared over a billion lands.

An extremely oppressive silence!

Except for Sub-Immortal level experts, everyone, even in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, became deaf and blind at this moment!

This isn’t true deafness, nor true blindness, but...

The roar was too immense, rendering them unable to hear any sound!

The Longsword was too dazzling, making them unable to see anything!

At this moment, countless people retreated, even though the aftermath impacted them from ten thousand miles away.

They had made every possible preparation, yet none expected that the Palace of the Holy Maiden’s strike would be so powerful, causing the aftermath to still make them spew mouthfuls of blood, their bodies almost rupturing!

Deafened ears, blinded eyes, they seemed to have lost all sensation.

Only with a blurred Divine Sense could they see the massive Sword Light slicing into the Phoenix Sect’s pure white shield, with rolling mist rising.

As for the result...

Not to mention them, even those Sub-Immortal level experts found it hard to discern at this moment.

Without a doubt, the Palace of the Holy Maiden’s strike cost a drop of Lifeblood Gold Blood from the Nine Snake Saint Immortal, the Ten Thousand Year Lifespan of Huaa Qingfei, Fenng Yihan, and others, as well as the Cultivation Base of countless experts from the Palace of the Holy Maiden!

Very strong!

Nearly strong to the extremity!

Few could imagine an attack in this Lower-Class Star Region that could match the Palace of the Holy Maiden at this moment.

Under this attack, for Sub-Immortal level experts like Dark Sorcerer Supreme, Guifeng Immortal Sovereign, it could accomplish an Instant Kill!

Even the Yin-Yang Blade Saint might struggle to resist.

The only ones who may survive might be the Seven-Colored Saint of Law, Destruction Empress, or even the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void, such top-grade Sub-Immortals!

...

Time moved on.

Under this silent atmosphere, even time seemed to be infinitely prolonged.

A second could split into a minute or even two hours...

Yet, the result would eventually come.

That overwhelming mist gradually dispersed, as if blown away by a storm, revealing the mysterious veil beneath it.

The first thing seen was the extremely sharp, sky-reaching Green Blood Sword!

It restored its former color, no longer exhibiting various hues within, especially the dazzling golden yellow emitted when Nine Snake Holy Mother had previously infused Lifeblood Gold Blood, which vanished completely after that one slash.

”Buzz...”

It still emitted intense buzzing, as if the living beings within were roaring, howling, furiously gnashing their teeth.

Difficult to discern the emotion within this sound, all in all... not good.

As the mist gradually cleared, everyone’s gaze slowly shifted downward.

At a certain moment, they saw a pure white light!

”Hmm?”

Upon seeing this light, numerous gasps of disbelief were heard immediately.

Especially when the light grew increasingly bright, increasingly intense, until finally forming an intact pure white shield—

All members of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects instantly adopted a gloomy expression!

”It’s still intact???”

”How can this be... how can this be!!!”

”Nine Snake Saint Immortal’s Cultivation Base is upper-mid at least among Sub-Immortal levels. Plus, with the Green Blood Sword and the immense sacrifices, it should’ve shattered that damn shield!!!”

”Just how powerful is the Phoenix Sect’s Immortal Artifact? Could it truly be a level higher than the Green Blood Sword?”

”Absolutely impossible! Even at this Artifact level, it’s difficult to control. If the level were higher, how could he, Su Baliu, with his Cultivation Base, manage it?”

”Then what’s going on?”

”The only possibility is that the Phoenix Sect has a method to control the Immortal Artifact!”

”What do you mean? A method to control the Immortal Artifact? Hahaha... absolute nonsense! The Immortal Artifact can fully unleash its power only at the Immortal Realm. Outside the Immortal Realm, even a figure as strong as the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void can only unleash fifty percent of its power at most!”

”Yes, the Seven-Colored Saint of Law and Destruction Empress are already suppressed. At this moment, the strongest one within the Phoenix Sect is only at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, how could they perfectly control the Immortal Artifact?”

...

Voices grew rapidly in number and volume, swirling in disbelief and unwillingness, spreading like a storm.

As they spoke—

Above the Void, Nine Snake Saint Immortal’s face, hidden under strands of hair, turned pale, bloodstained at the lips, bearing the injuries from the Phoenix Sect’s Immortal Artifact’s recoil.

”Just that one strike, across the whole Lower-Class Star Region, only three Sects could withstand it...”

”How did his Phoenix Sect remain unscathed, how did they stand so strong?”

”Is it that the Phoenix Sect’s Immortal Artifact is too high leveled, or is Su Baliu’s tactic too strong?”

”He’s merely a Fifth Grade Unity Realm expert!!!”

Everything that transpired today shattered the ideas Nine Snake Saint Immortal and every member of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects held before.

In their view, within the Lower-Class Star Region, Immortal Artifacts reigned supreme, Sub-Immortals came second, Heavenly Emperors third.

Even high-ranking Cultivation Bases like Dao Sovereign and Fusion Realm, though mighty, meant little to those at their level.

Nine Snake Saint Immortal always believed she could slay as many Fusion Realm experts as she wished, if desired!

Yet, at this moment—

The Phoenix Sect, relying on one Immortal Artifact, repelled nearly all Sect attacks!

This was truly unacceptable to her, unacceptable to anyone!

”Thirty percent.”

And at this point, a calm voice suddenly sounded from the walls.

Su Han’s voice interrupted everyone’s thoughts, drawing all eyes to the walls.

A white-clad figure stood straight, hands behind his back.

His expression was serene, as if unyielding under the pressure of Mount Tai.

”Our Sect keeps its promises; the power of the Immortal Artifact used to repel the Palace of the Holy Maiden’s attack earlier—was thirty percent.”

Su Han’s gaze swept to Nine Snake Saint Immortal.

A smile slowly crept at the corners of his mouth, resembling mockery or disdain, growing ever more evident.

”But with just thirty percent power, despite your Palace of the Holy Maiden paying such a price, you still couldn’t break through!”

”To be honest, you have greatly disappointed our Sect!”
