Chapter 158 : Forceful Suppression and Killing
Chapter 158: Forceful Suppression and Killing
“Luo Xuan? That foreign Divine Realm expert?”
“That’s a Divine Realm expert—she wants to kill a Divine Realm?”
“How dare she? That’s a supreme Divine Realm powerhouse!”
“Look at the imperial palace… what would she not dare to do?”
Hearing the voice that echoed throughout the entire city, countless martial artists and commoners all looked toward the imperial city. Discussions and exclamations of shock rose one after another.
The entire Capital seemed to hum, as dense voices arose from all directions.
Like waves surging and intertwining, rising and falling without end.
“Kill a Divine Realm?”
“Can she really do it?”
Within the ruins of the imperial palace, the Yu clan’s ancestor stared blankly at the devastated scene.
Upon hearing Luo Xuan’s voice, he had intended to step out, but at this moment his heart pounded wildly, forcibly halting his steps.
“Back then, after defeat, wasn’t the immortal Dao stripped away?”
“Anyone in the Fallen Immortal Land cannot touch the immortal Dao—those who do must die!”
“But how can she?”
The Yu clan ancestor looked at Li Yunqing, his entire being caught in intense conflict.
Some secrets were mysteries to ordinary people, but to those who had reincarnated, they were not so hidden.
The destruction of the immortal Dao was far from simple.
What lay behind it was beyond imagination.
This was also why countless remnants of immortals and gods would stop at nothing to cut off the progress of martial Dao.
The weak perish, the strong survive—this was the greatest rule of this world.
“Spells! These are truly spells!”
“There’s the fluctuation of true qi within them—could true qi actually be used to cast spells?”
“The immortal Dao hasn’t ended? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”
“The laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are strict—such a situation cannot exist!”
“What exactly has happened?”
“Why can she cast spells?”
Several Divine Realm experts were almost completely stunned, their consciousness colliding in the void, all falling into confusion.
The severance of the immortal Dao had been an established fact for a hundred thousand years—unchangeable.
Yet now, someone had defied the laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, casting immortal Dao spells within this Fallen Immortal Land.
At this moment, not only them—even those ancient undying beings within the Immortal God Forbidden Zone would likely react the same.
“Buzz!”
Li Yunqing paid no attention to anyone else. She directly raised her right hand and fiercely struck toward Luo Xuan.
“Why is no one coming out?”
Seeing Li Yunqing make her move, Luo Xuan roared inwardly:
“Don’t you want to know the secret on her?”
“With several Divine Realm experts joining forces, can’t you suppress a mere young woman?”
“Boom!”
The heavens changed color as endless spiritual energy surged toward Li Yunqing’s right hand.
In the next moment, a massive illusory palm, flowing with five-colored light, suddenly appeared in the sky.
Carrying supreme might, it descended to suppress Luo Xuan.
“This is… a divine ability!”
“She’s only in the Profound Realm—how can she use a divine ability?”
“I see… it’s the Yang Spirit and spells!”
Seeing the massive palm descending, Luo Xuan instantly understood.
If Li Yunqing could cast spells, then using divine abilities was no longer surprising.
“Boundless Mountains and Rivers Defense!”
Luo Xuan roared. Layers of mountains and rivers manifested around him, forming an incomparably powerful armor.
Mountains and rivers combined in defense—firm yet flexible, with astonishing defensive power.
At the same time, mountains could suppress, rivers could trap—this was an incredibly powerful divine ability of both offense and defense.
But now, he could only use it for defense.
Because Li Yunqing had yet to unleash the power of her Yang Spirit.
“Fairy Yunqing, there may be a misunderstanding here!”
Seeing no Divine Realm expert appear, Luo Xuan suddenly shouted.
At this moment, he finally seemed to understand why none of them had acted.
Faced with such a figure, even if they wanted to act, they lacked the courage.
They did not even have the confidence to act against someone capable of casting spells.
Everyone was observing—including the Divine Realm. Without understanding the situation, who would dare act rashly?
He had come here under orders, willing to pay any price to open the Immortal God Forbidden Zone.
But someone like her—was she truly someone he could scheme against or offend?
Schemes and calculations were meaningless before absolute power.
Only when strength was comparable did schemes have any use.
In the Age of Immortals and Gods, aside from those who struggled step by step, navigating carefully—
the great figures, when angered, could wipe out an immortal sect or even an immortal mountain.
Why would they need schemes?
“Boom!”
Li Yunqing seemed not to hear him. The massive palm descended in an instant, the ground trembling slightly as dust filled the air.
“I blocked it? I’m unharmed?”
Luo Xuan froze, glancing at the Mountain and River Armor on his body—it bore no damage at all.
But when he looked up, he discovered that this was no longer the imperial palace—
but a world of ice and snow.
“Buddha Kingdom in the Palm! This is the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!”
“At most, she can trap me for a short while!”
Luo Xuan suddenly understood, subconsciously letting out a breath of relief.
But in the next moment, all the ice and snow in the world transformed into swords—countless, filling the sky.
Like a world composed of an endless sea of swords.
The vast, river-like sword qi, stretching beyond sight, all shot toward Luo Xuan.
“This… isn’t the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!”
Luo Xuan cried out in shock, only to be instantly submerged by the endless swords.
The Mountain and River Armor around him shattered again and again, only to be reformed repeatedly.
But the swords were endless, surging like waves without pause.
Time passed—unknown how long.
When Luo Xuan once again attempted to use Boundless Mountains and Rivers Defense, he discovered that his essence, energy, and spirit had already been completely exhausted.
“No!”
Luo Xuan let out a despairing roar, only to be swallowed by the swords once more, his voice abruptly cut off.
Above the imperial palace—
Li Yunqing stood in the void, a sphere of light floating in her palm.
Within it, endless sword qi surged. In mere moments, Luo Xuan had been completely annihilated.
“Bang!”
Li Yunqing lightly clenched her hand, and the Sword World in the Palm instantly collapsed.
In the next moment, Luo Xuan’s corpse floated in the air.
With a raise of her hand, a long spear shot out, directly piercing through Luo Xuan’s chest.
Carrying his corpse, it nailed him firmly onto the half-ruined gate tower of the imperial palace.
Scarlet blood dripped down.
A supreme Divine Realm expert—a pillar of national fortune—had died just like that.
At this moment, looking at Luo Xuan’s corpse hanging atop the gate, the entire Capital fell into dead silence.
Even the Divine Realm experts felt their scalps go numb, their hearts trembling in fear.
“She killed Luo Xuan!”
“A Profound Realm killing a Divine Realm?”
“That was the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm… no, that was an immeasurable sword world!”
“Bullshit—can she even still be considered Profound Realm?”
“Even if I acted, I couldn’t suppress Luo Xuan without consuming lifespan!”
“And she killed him just like that!”
“How could she be Profound Realm?”
For a moment, several Divine Realm experts became incoherent.
Although Luo Xuan was only a mid-tier Divine Realm expert, his Boundless Mountains and Rivers Defense possessed astonishing defensive power—it was not something easily broken.
Even high-tier or peak Divine Realm experts would have to expend great effort.
Yet now, such a person had been struck down with a single palm, drawn into the sword world, and annihilated in just a few breaths.
“It’s the enhancement from that power used to cast spells!”
“The power of her divine ability is beyond imagination!”
“That power contains true qi—martial Dao can become even stronger, no weaker than immortal Dao!”
“But what kind of power is that exactly?”
In an instant, the Divine Realm experts came to a realization.
Yet the power of the spells and divine abilities still exceeded all expectations.
“Good thing I didn’t go out!”
Within the ruins, the Yu clan’s Divine Realm ancestor felt a trace of relief.
The divine ability Li Yunqing displayed could not be explained by reason, nor achieved by ordinary unity of essence, energy, and spirit.
It had already reached the level of divine abilities used by Spirit Transformation Realm experts in the Age of Immortals and Gods.
This must be related to her ability to cast spells.
“Luo Xuan… is dead?”
Seeing Luo Xuan’s corpse nailed to the gate tower, blood dripping, Yu Taiyan went numb.
Everything had happened too quickly.
So quickly that it felt like a dream.
That was a Divine Realm expert—and he had been killed by Li Yunqing with a single palm?
It was utterly unbelievable.
Yet it had truly happened before his eyes.
“Thud!”
Yu Taiyan collapsed onto the ruins, looking at Li Yunqing as his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“Why hasn’t the ancestor appeared?”
“Have I been abandoned?”
“Why?”
Yu Taiyan roared inwardly, unwilling to accept it.
He was the emperor of Great Yu, ruling over twenty-two provinces, standing at the very peak.
Even if he had no great achievements, he had worked tirelessly for twenty years!
“What should I do?”
His heart trembled with fear.
If at the beginning he had still harbored thoughts of obtaining Li Yunqing, of using her body to break through to the Divine Realm—
now only fear and panic remained.
Before life and death, everything else was meaningless. Survival was all that mattered.
“Fairy Yunqing… I—I—”
Yu Taiyan lay prostrate on the ground in disheveled humiliation, his tongue trembling as he could barely speak.
The Divine Realm experts watching, along with the martial artists, commoners, and members of great families, all fell silent at this sight.
The supreme ruler of Great Yu’s twenty-two provinces—
the emperor whose single word could decide countless lives—
now could not even stand.
At this moment, the entire Capital fell into an eerie silence.
Even the Imperial Guards trapped within the Ten Thousand Wood Prison had ceased all movement.
All eyes were fixed upon the sky.
In midair, Li Yunqing’s robes fluttered, her hair flowing, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
Her expression calm as she looked down upon all under heaven.
