Chapter 741: Chapter 740: The Immortal Emperor of Ancient Ruins!
And this fellow’s original realm was such that his combat power was many times stronger than that of an ordinary Saint.
He was not alone.
No wonder, despite the combined efforts of many Saints over millions of years, they still couldn’t overcome him.
In those millions of years, who knows how many times they had fought!
The battle within this ancient ruin was still ongoing.
This battle was quite peculiar; after fighting for some years, both sides would stop and enter a standoff.
Qin Changqing soon understood the reason.
The disturbance caused by their battle was too great, provoking a Chaos Storm in this particular ruin.
“A Chaos Tree, there is actually one here, no wonder neither side is giving in.”
The Ancient Emperor made a discovery.
They had been fighting for so many years, not only to annihilate each other but also to obtain a Chaos Tree.
This Chaos Tree was even more precious than the Chaos Flower; it was incredibly tall and filled with fruits.
However, these fruits did not seem to be ripe yet.
The fighting would pause because if the Chaos Storm became too intense, it would destroy the Chaos Tree.
Qin Changqing didn’t rush to take action.
He patiently waited.
This Chaos Storm lasted for a full few thousand years.
After thousands of years, as soon as the Chaos Storm subsided, both sides once again plunged into fierce battle.
Suddenly, a Saint from the Immortal World reached for the Chaos Tree.
But immediately, the other side intervened to stop him.
The great battle erupted once again.
Qin Changqing still didn’t rush to act, silently observing.
After observing for many years, he moved, suddenly entering the battlefield with a killing intent.
Since he had hidden himself so well, his sudden attack was too abrupt, and those “Great Terrors” hadn’t even reacted before Qin Changqing closed in on them.
Qin Changqing’s target was the Chaos Tree.
Although caught off guard, many “Great Terrors,” especially that Immortal Emperor-level “Great Terror,” reacted immediately.
“It’s Qin Changqing.”
The many Saints cheered.
They took action one after another, joining forces to block the Immortal Emperor-level Great Terror.
But several other “Great Terrors” still launched an attack on Qin Changqing.
However, at this moment, Qin Changqing suddenly transformed and struck at one of the Great Terrors.
This fellow did not expect Qin Changqing to suddenly turn the tables.
This was still a secret technique of the Ancient Emperor.
It could prevent the opponent from fully regaining the strength of an Immortal Emperor.
The adversary, once an Immortal Emperor, could possess strength equivalent to that of the current Immortal Emperors for a short time at great cost.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Changqing ferociously lunged at him.
After being interrupted, the Immortal Emperor Great Terror’s countenance turned frightfully grim as a blood-colored Demon Blade came slashing over.
“Be careful, that’s an Imperial Arms!”
Supreme Clear Dao Master urgently cautioned.
Imperial Arms!
Qin Changqing’s face remained unchanged as a small Mirror in his hand instantly enlarged and met the attack head-on.
This was Qin Changqing’s Six Harmonies Mirror which, after having received some materials provided by the Ancient Emperor, had been further enhanced and refined to the level of Imperial Arms.
There was still some difference from a true Imperial Arms.
However, this Immortal Emperor’s Imperial Arms, after countless epochs, no longer possessed its former might.
Many Saints also made their move in unison.
The blood-colored Demon Blade was instantly blocked.
Qin Changqing charged forth in retaliation and took the offensive.
The many Saints also joined the ranks of the coordinated attack.
“Paltry tricks!”
The Immortal Emperor let out a stern voice as his aura seemingly surged once more.
No, it wasn’t his aura that was rising, but rather, he was drawing upon the power of the very heavens and earth.
To be precise, it was the power of the Ancient Ruins from this age-old era.
This place, long desolate, was akin to a forbidden zone, yet the Saints of Immortal World and the “Great Terros” were unable to harness the residual power of these ruins.
But this Immortal Emperor could!
“Quite the fellow.”
Qin Changqing quickly realized, this individual must have been the Immortal Emperor of these Ancient Ruins!
How long had he lived!
The time of his existence was probably even longer than that of the Ancient Emperors, because the era of the Ancient Emperors was only a handful of epochs from the present.
Although Qin Changqing, with the Ancient Emperor’s secret technique, had prevented him from fully recovering to an Immortal Emperor’s strength, his power soared when he tapped into the power of the Ancient Ruins.
Even Qin Changqing found himself unable to gain the upper hand facing him.
But with the concerted efforts of the many Saints, and given that his allies were now reduced to one, they could still hold him off.
In the Ancient Ruins, a massive Chaos Storm had already begun.
“Qin Changqing, stop for now!”
The Supreme Clear Dao Master said.
Both sides began to cease their attacks as if by tacit agreement.
