Chapter 114

In Dantan Xianzong's ancestral hall, the fifteen veteran Peak Immortal Realm Elder Ancestors were all furious!

"Longevity Gate!!"

An old man pondered briefly and said analytically:

"I heard this isn't an Immortal King-level Dao lineage?!"

"Recently, a disciple of Longevity Gate obtained the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key; Dantan Juechen went to Longevity Gate precisely to use it as a breakthrough to obtain that Ancient Emperor's Secret Key!"

"A mere Immortal King-level Dao lineage—could it kill Dantan Juechen and his two dark guards beside him?"

Another old man pondered briefly and said: "But Dantan Juechen's life tablet is indeed shattered."

"Do you think it's possible that Dantan Juechen obtained the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key at Longevity Gate, then coincidentally encountered someone from another top Immortal Venerable-level Dao lineage, killed Dantan Juechen, seized the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key, and framed Longevity Gate?"

In Liuli Xianyu, the only ones capable of killing Dantan Juechen together with his two Peak Immortal Realm Dark Guards are likely only a few other top Immortal Venerable-level Dao lineages, achieving this by overwhelming numbers.

"No matter what, let's first go check out Changsheng Gate!"

"The speaker is Dantan Cangxuan, the oldest and most senior elder ancestor currently existing in Dantan Xianzong!"

"His cultivation has already settled at Peak Immortal for hundreds of thousands of years, and he is only a step away from the legendary quasi-immortal emperor realm!!"

"The quasi-immortal emperor realm is also called half-step immortal emperor!"

"He waved his hand, and an ancient battle spear, its whole body entwined with chaotic immortal light and inscribed with billions of emperor patterns, floated above the ancestral hall!"

"This spear is named the World-Exterminating Emperor Spear, the supreme treasure passed down for a million years in Dantan Xianzong, a quasi-immortal emperor weapon!"

"The power of this quasi-immortal emperor weapon is immeasurably vast; it cannot be activated by a single person!!"

"To activate this quasi-immortal emperor weapon, at least ten veteran Peak Immortal powerhouses are needed!"

"Of course, the more people, the greater the power when activating the quasi-immortal emperor weapon together!"

"And Dantan Xianzong has a total of fifteen veteran Peak Immortal Realm powerhouses!"

"Fifteen Peak Immortal powerhouses joining forces can activate it, enough to draw upon the true quasi-immortal emperor's dao and unleash battle power comparable to that of a true quasi-immortal emperor!"

"This is the ultimate foundation that allows Dantan Xianzong to stand among the top three in Liuli Xianyu, with none daring to provoke it lightly!"

"'Supreme Elder Ancestor, should we bring the World-Exterminating Emperor Spear?' asked an old elder, Dantan Cangxuan, in shock."

"Dantan Xianzong hasn't used this quasi-immortal emperor weapon for hundreds of thousands of years!!"

"Dantan Cangxuan nodded coldly: 'Bring this quasi-immortal emperor weapon along, just to be safe.'"

"'If we find out it's the work of other top Peak Immortal-level lineages, we will make them pay a bloody price!'"

"'Issue the order: the entire sect on alert; we fifteen will personally go to Changsheng Gate to investigate!'"

"Dantan Cangxuan let out an angry shout, his voice shaking the nine heavens."

"The fifteen elder ancestors moved, directly tearing through the void, carrying the World-Exterminating Emperor Spear, and soared toward Qinglan Dalu!"

"This commotion is too heaven-shaking and earth-shattering!"

"Fifteen Peak Immortal experts set out together, and with the quasi-immortal emperor weapon's pressure sweeping across hundreds of millions of miles, many veteran top powers were instantly startled!"

"'Has Dantan Xianzong gone mad? All fifteen Peak Immortal elder ancestors have been dispatched, and they even brought the sect's quasi-immortal emperor weapon!'"

"'What tremendous event could cause Dantan Xianzong to mobilize such profound resources?'"

"'Could it be that they intend to go to war with some top Peak Immortal-level lineage?'"

"Countless divine senses intertwined in the void, and the voices of discussion swept across."

"Soon, a piece of news exploded like a thunderclap!"

"Dantan Xianzong's Divine Son, Dantan Juechen, was killed inside Changsheng Gate!"

"The two mid-Peak Immortal realm guards and two Peak Immortal Dark Guards accompanying him were also all killed!"

"'What?!'"

"'Dantan Juechen died?'"

"'That's the third-ranked heavenly pride of Liuli Xianyu, the future leader of Dantan Xianzong!'"

"'Changsheng Gate? It's the sect of the person who recently caused a fuss by obtaining the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key.'"

"'I heard Changsheng Gate is merely a lowly Immortal King-level lineage; how could they possibly kill Dantan Juechen?!'"

"'Crazy! Totally crazy!'"

"'Liuli Xianyu is going to descend into chaos!'"

"As the news spread wider and wider, many experts from various forces sucked in a cold breath, gazing toward Qinglan Dalu, their eyes becoming extraordinarily complex."

"There was shock, doubt, schadenfreude, and even more greed!"

"Many people received the news: not long ago, the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key that emerged from the Myriad Treasures Immortal Isle had fallen into the hands of a Changsheng Gate disciple!!"

"But later, that Changsheng Gate disciple was rescued by someone, and no one knows her whereabouts!"

"With Dantan Xianzong causing such a huge commotion on this trip, could it be that the person who obtained the Ancient Emperor's Secret Key is currently hiding in Changsheng Gate?"

"In an instant, the majority of top powers in Liuli Xianyu flocked toward Qinglan Dalu!"

"One after another, reclusive veteran figures rushed over there!"

"One day later, the skies above Qinglan Dalu were filled with countless experts!"

"Countless gazes descended upon Changsheng Gate below, all with the look of watching a spectacle!"

"They wanted to see just what terrifying trump card this tiny sect, which dared to kill Dantan Xianzong's Divine Son and provoke the top lineages of Liuli Xianyu, actually hides!"

……

"The skies above Qinglan Dalu."

"The void exploded with a boom!"

"Fifteen elders clad in purple-gold dao robes, their auras like ancient ferocious beasts, carrying a spear that pierces heaven and earth—the World-Exterminating Emperor Spear—descended aggressively!"

"The pressure of the fifteen Peak Immortals stacked together, forming a giant hand that blots out the sky and crushes the earth, slamming down hard upon Changsheng Gate!"

"Palaces, mountain peaks, rivers… the entire Qinglan Dalu trembled violently!"

It feels as if in the next second this terrifying pressure would crush us into powder!

Inside the Changsheng Gate, Chu Yun, Xia Yuan, Fang Han, Feng Zhi Zhenren and others looked up at the void, their expressions slightly changing.

Even though Feng Zhi Zhenren is already a Peak Immortal!

But facing fifteen Elder Ancestors of the same realm, plus a quasi‑Immortal Emperor soldier, he still feels a mortal threat!

"Master…"

Chu Yun whispered softly!

And then, on the mountain vine chair, Li Zhangsheng slowly set down the wine cup in his hand!

He stretched lazily, his white robe fluttering, and in an instant his figure appeared above the Nine Heavens of Qinglan Dalu, standing before the fifteen Dantan Xianzong Elder Ancestors!

He still bore that lazy, casual demeanor, his white clothes brighter than snow, his face handsome, with no trace of any celestial energy ripple, just standing there lightly!

The fifteen Dantan Xianzong Elder Ancestors looked at Li Zhangsheng, their expressions slightly tightening!

They all understood that this person would not block them without reason!

"The death of our Dantan Xianzong Divine Son, is it related to you?"

The leading Dan Tai Cangxuan stared intently at Li Zhangsheng, and spoke coldly.

His divine thought swept wildly over Li Zhangsheng's whole body, yet he was shocked to find he could not see even a fraction of the white‑robed youth before him!

Li Zhangsheng nonchalantly lifted his eyes, his tone as flat as if stating a trivial matter: "Your Dantan Xianzong Divine Son was killed by me!"

"Impostor!"

An adjacent Dantan Elder Ancestor roared angrily, celestial energy swirling around him: "With only you alone, you shouldn't be able to kill our Dantan Xianzong Divine Son. Bring out your helpers!"

"It was I alone who killed your Dantan Xianzong Divine Son, without any aid," Li Zhangsheng's mouth curved into a faint smile, looking at the fifteen enraged Elder Ancestors before him, he said softly:

"You came all the way from the Dantan Xianzong, that wasn't easy."

"How about this: I give you a chance, unleash your full power."

"Let me see how much backbone the Dantan Xianzong truly has!"

As his words fell, the entire void fell dead silent!

All the top‑tier onlookers were dumbfounded, thinking they had misheard!

Having fifteen Peak Immortal Elder Ancestors unleash their full power?

And still have to face a quasi‑Immortal Emperor soldier capable of wielding Immortal Emperor‑level combat power?

This white‑robed youth, is he insane?!

Dan Tai Cangxuan, even more enraged, laughed bitterly, his beard standing on end: "Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

"I, who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, have never seen anyone as ignorant of heaven and earth as you!"

"Since you seek death wholeheartedly, we shall grant it!"

"Come with me, together we will trigger the World‑Ending Emperor Spear, to satisfy it!"

"Yes!"

The fourteen Elder Ancestors all answered in unison!

The fifteen Peak Immortal strongmen simultaneously poured their lifelong cultivation into the World‑Ending Emperor Spear!

Buzz!!

The entire ancient spear instantly erupted with billions of chaotic imperial lights; atop the spearhead, a vague phantom appeared, as if a true quasi‑Immortal Emperor had descended upon the world!

A pressure far surpassing that of a Peak Immortal roared, sweeping the heavens and earth!

All the onlooking strongmen's faces changed dramatically, they fled wildly for billions of li, their souls trembling!

"The quasi‑Immortal Emperor soldier has fully unleashed!"

"Is this the true power of the quasi‑Immortal Emperor?"

Everyone was shocked, unable to bear watching Li Zhangsheng being blasted to fragments.

Dan Tai Cangxuan, holding the World‑Ending Emperor Spear, his eyes filled with murderous intent, shouted loudly:

"World‑Ending Emperor Spear, suppress and kill!"

Boom!!!

A imperial‑colored light pillar that pierced heaven and earth, tearing chaos, bearing the power to destroy all, slammed fiercely at Li Zhangsheng!

Where it passed, the void shattered, laws were erased, even time was completely frozen!

This strike, unparalleled terror!

Just as the light pillar was about to land on Li Zhangsheng...

Li Zhangsheng finally moved.

He simply lifted one hand lightly, his fingertip barely touching, and a barely visible white barrier instantly enveloped the entire Qinglan Dalu!

No matter how violent the imperial‑colored light pillar became, it could not move Qinglan Dalu in the slightest!

The next second!

Li Zhangsheng neither dodged nor avoided, allowing that terror comparable to an Immortal Emperor to slam onto himself!

Boom!!!

The intense light engulfed everything; between heaven and earth only a blinding white glare remained!

Dan Tai Cangxuan and the fifteen Elder Ancestors sneered repeatedly, their eyes full of vengeful delight.

"Die! Be utterly reduced to ash!"

"Dare to oppose my Dantan Xianzong, this is the fate you meet!"

All the onlookers also shook their heads, concluding that the white‑robed youth was already bone‑free.

But in the next instant...

The intense light faded.

The figure in white still stood quietly in place.

His clothes were spotless, his hair moved without wind, and his face still bore that lazy smile.

Not a single hair is damaged!

Not to mention grievous wounds or death— not even a single hair fell!

The quasi‑Immortal Emperor‑level attack that could have annihilated everything fell on him like a gentle breeze, leaving not a trace!

Dead silence!

Silence as dead as death!

Across the sky of Qinglan Dalu, countless gazes froze, all sounds vanished, even breathing stalled!

The fifteen Elder Ancestors of Dantan Cangxuan had their sneers freeze, pupils constricted to the extreme, bodies trembling violently, their aged faces filled with unparalleled terror and despair!

"No... impossible!!"

"That was the Immortal Emperor's strike unleashed by a quasi‑Immortal Emperor weapon! How could you be unharmed?!"

"You... who exactly are you?!"

Their Dao hearts cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years shattered completely at this moment!

Only the supreme Immortal Emperor could possibly block a quasi‑Immortal Emperor strike with a mortal body, right?

This... this is a true supreme Immortal Emperor!

Heavens!!!

"Imm... Immortal Emperor!"

At that thought, Dantan Cangxuan's legs went weak, and he knelt into the void, the world‑ending Imperial Spear in his hand clanging as it fell to the ground.

All the previous arrogance and fury vanished, leaving only endless fear and pleading:

"Misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding!"

"It is Divine Son Dantan Juechen, blind as a bat, who offended the Immortal Emperor, deserving death!"

"We, lost in delusion, came seeking revenge; we beg the Immortal Emperor not to hold our petty sins against us, spare us!"

"The Dantan Xianzong is willing to offer all its foundation, eternally submit to the Changsheng Gate, become beast of burden, never daring any dissent!"

The other fourteen Elder Ancestors also knelt, kowtowing like pounding garlic, terrified to the point of soul‑shattering, drenched in cold sweat, nearly dying of fright!

They finally understood that they had provoked not a mere tough opponent, but a sleeping supreme Immortal Emperor!

World‑ending Imperial Spear?

Fifteen Peak Immortals?

Before a true Immortal Emperor, they are nothing but chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow!

All the strong figures watching from various forces felt their scalp tingle, bodies turn icy, and they all knelt in unison, lacking even the courage to glance at Li Zhangsheng!

Immortal Emperor!

In Liuli Xianyu, a supreme Immortal Emperor has emerged?!

Who could have thought that behind the obscure Changsheng Gate stood a living Immortal Emperor!

Li Zhangsheng looked at the fifteen trembling Elder Ancestors of Dantan Xianzong kneeling before him, his gaze unchanged, still bearing that indifferent demeanor.

"Misunderstanding?"

He softly uttered two words, his tone flat yet carrying a pressure that made heaven and earth tremble, saying lightly, "It's fine, just be careful in the next life!"

Dantan Cangxuan was so frightened his soul left his body, kowtowing repeatedly, blood streaming from his forehead as he hammered his head:

"No! No!!"

"Immortal Emperor, spare me!"

"We acknowledge our mistake!"

"We will never dare again! Please grant us a chance to reform!"

Li Zhangsheng gently shook his head.

He raised his right hand, gave a light swing, and slapped the void!

There was no earth‑shaking roar, no power to destroy heaven and earth.

Just such a simple, understated slap!

Boom!!

The fifteen Peak Immortal Elder Ancestors of Dantan Xianzong, together with the world‑ending Imperial Spear that shook Liuli Xianyu, exploded into a sky of blood mist under that slap!

Spirits, bodies, treasures... all vanished, both divine form and shape erased!

All the foundation of the Dantan Xianzong, the pinnacle Dao lineage, the fifteen Elder Ancestors, and a quasi‑Immortal Emperor weapon were completely erased from the world!

Clean and decisive!

Instant kill!

A thorough instant kill!

All the strong onlookers were frozen with terror!

Everyone watching the spectacle crouched in the void, daring not even a breath, hearts pounding wildly as if ready to burst at any moment.

Li Zhangsheng slowly withdrew his hand, his indifferent gaze sweeping the boundless void, his voice low yet clear, imprinting in every person's soul:

"The Ancient Emperor's secret key is now within our Changsheng Gate."

"If anyone wants it, just come and take it!"

"Of course, provided you have the courage!"

Li Zhangsheng smiled.

His words resonated across billions of realms!

No threat, no intimidation, yet a terror billions of times greater than any threat!

All the powerhouses of every faction trembled all over, prostrated themselves on the ground, and shouted in unison, their voices filled with utmost reverence and submission:

"We dare not!"

"Immortal Emperor, your divine might blankets the world!"

"From now on, our Liuli Xianyu shall revere the Longevity Gate as supreme."

The sound rolled, echoing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, across hundreds of millions of li of territory…
