Chapter 210 Jiang Chen Points Out the Path to Immortal Kinghood, Elder Tiangong!
laugh!
A tiny, almost invisible sword beam, moving faster than the flow of time, flashed across the starry sky.
Immediately afterwards, the towering, towering phantom of the God of Ten Thousand Calamities was instantly split in two by the sword light without being hindered in the slightest.
"Click".
With a crisp cracking sound, a deep, bone-revealing crack appeared on the Emperor's proud dark gold lightning armor.
Even the indestructible Celestial King's Heavenly Punishment Halberd let out a mournful cry as a section of its blade was forcibly sliced off!
The sword light pierced through Di Que's body, and Ye Qingyu's white-robed, blood-stained figure, still as upright as a pine tree, re-condensed in the void ten thousand feet behind him.
Di Que stood frozen in place, glancing down at the sword wound on his chest from which blood was seeping out, and then at the broken Heavenly Punishment Halberd in his hand.
His once arrogant pupils dimmed slightly in an instant.
He knew that if that sword had missed by even half a point and struck his primordial spirit or Dao foundation, he would be dead by now.
"I... lost."
Di Que shook his head, his voice unusually hoarse.
Although he still had many trump cards up his sleeve, his Dao heart and invincible belief had been shaken in that life-or-death confrontation just now.
He was merely a mortal who had just entered the realm of immortality, yet he was defeated.
Although he only lost by half a move, in a duel of this level, half a move is the boundary between life and death.
"I appreciate your concession."
Ye Qingyu did not turn around. After uttering those two words, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Clearly, that sword strike had drained almost all of his strength.
Wow!!
As the Imperial Palace fell, many disciples of the Primordial Immortal Court cheered and shouted Ye Qingyu's name.
There's no other reason than that they, like Ye Qingyu, are all mortals.
From this day forward, who dares to say that ordinary people cannot compete with the various special constitutions?
Ye Qingyu is the best example!
"They won! Tenth Senior Brother actually won!"
"A mortal body defying the chaotic thunder body! One sword breaks through all laws—is this the sword prodigy of our Primordial Immortal Court?!"
"From today onwards, there will be no more tenth sequence, only the new ninth sequence, Ye Qingyu!"
"Even a mortal can become an immortal and slay immortals!"
...
And so, amidst countless fervent gazes of worship, Jiang Chen, high above the heavens, nodded slightly, his face showing approval.
Then, he casually waved his hand.
The supreme treasure, the Chaos Sword Marrow, which had been floating in the air, transformed into a stream of light and landed steadily in Ye Qingyu's hand.
With the chaotic sword essence falling into Ye Qingyu's palm, this earth-shattering battle of sequences finally came to an end.
High above the nine heavens, the gentle and refined voice of the Primordial Immortal Lord Jiang Chen resounded throughout the entire starry sea:
The outcome is decided.
"From this day forward, Ye Qingyu will be promoted to the ninth rank of the Primordial Immortal Court."
"The Imperial Palace ranks tenth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vast starry sky fell silent.
All eyes instinctively turned to the burly figure covered in golden divine blood, wielding a broken halberd.
Normally, when a peerless genius is defeated in public and even stripped of his ranking, he will either be furious or his Dao heart will collapse.
However, although Emperor Que's tall body swayed slightly, he did not fall down.
He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, then abruptly raised his hand and roughly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I take back what I said before. Junior Brother Ye's sword is not bad."
Having said that, Di Que slammed the broken Heavenly Punishment Halberd into the void, his posture as upright as a pine tree, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Qingyu, saying:
"Although I lost by half a move today, I still have a long way to go on my path to mastering the Chaotic Thunder Body!"
"When I return to the sacred mountain and go into seclusion, I will completely refine this myriad tribulations of lightning into my body."
"One day, I will surely reclaim my place!"
Looking at the Emperor's Palace before him, which was not discouraged by defeat but instead had an even stronger fighting spirit, Ye Qingyu's face showed a rare hint of respect.
He held the illusory longsword, which had transformed back into yin and yang energy, in one hand, returned the salute slightly, and said earnestly:
"My senior brother's Thunder Law is also unparalleled among his peers."
"As for challenges, I am ready to face them at any time."
Their eyes met, and although there were no unnecessary words, the invincible spirit of mutual respect and mutual encouragement between two geniuses made the countless disciples of the Celestial Court below feel their blood boil.
What is the Celestial Court Sequence? This is the Celestial Court Sequence!
Don't be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat; be able to take things on and let them go!
On the imperial throne, Jiang Chen watched this scene and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The imperial palace is not something to belittle."
Then, Jiang Chen slowly spoke, his voice like the chanting of the Great Dao.
"Do you know how long Ye Qingyu has been preparing for this sword strike today?"
"With his mortal body, he had already struggled and struggled in the mortal world, and he could have easily forced his way in long ago."
"But he didn't; instead, he kept suppressing and letting it settle."
"In the previous battle in the foreign land, he personally witnessed the battle between my master, Anlan, and Yutuo, the battle between the Immortal Kings, teetering on the edge of life and death, and being reborn in annihilation. That's why he had that selfless sword strike just now."
"He may seem to be a novice in the path of immortality, but in reality, his profound foundation has already surpassed that of an ordinary true immortal."
Upon hearing his master's explanation, Di Que was also shaken, and a look of sudden realization flashed in his eyes. He was indeed not wronged to lose to someone who had accumulated knowledge and had a sudden enlightenment.
"There are countless paths to cultivation. Each person's path to invincibility is different."
Jiang Chen's gaze was gentle as he looked directly down at the imperial palace.
"You are a Chaos Thunder Body, born to represent destruction and punishment."
"There's no need to learn your junior brother Ye's philosophy of facing death to live. Just recognize your own path, carry out that domineering spirit of 'I am invincible' to the end, and remain consistent throughout."
"But one day, I will surely ascend to the royal realm!"
Jiang Chen's words were like a wake-up call, completely dispelling the confusion that Di Que had felt due to the defeat.
"Disciple understands! Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
After a while, Di Que immediately knelt down and kowtowed slightly to Jiang Chen.
Then he suddenly raised his head and declared boldly:
"Master! Since Junior Brother Ye gained such insights because he witnessed the battle between the Immortal Kings, then this disciple begs Master!"
"If there are any more battles between Immortal Kings in the future, let this disciple experience them as well!"
"Or perhaps I, your disciple, will go there myself, to that place between life and death, to temper my body and my path!"
Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples below felt their scalps tingle and gasped in shock.
That's insane! He's a complete lunatic!
Go and watch the battle between the Celestial Kings?
Do you really think the battle of the Celestial Kings is just a show?
Even a mere aftershock is enough to cause a true immortal's physical body to collapse and their primordial spirit to perish!
However, faced with this request that sounded almost suicidal, Jiang Chen surprisingly did not rebuke him. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Good! You have guts!"
"As expected of my disciple, Jiang Chen!"
"If you don't even have the courage to face life and death, how can you talk about reaching the pinnacle of immortality? Your request is granted!"
With that, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve, and a gentle force lifted the Emperor's Palace, then casually took the broken Immortal King weapon, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, into his hand.
"Where is Elder Tiangong?"
"I am here!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a red-haired old man with bare upper body, muscles bulging like a dragon, and exuding an astonishing aura, stepped forward from the elders' seats below and knelt down respectfully.
