The Changqing The Great stood beside the trunk of the ancient tree. The terrifying light shone on him, as though he would fuse with it at any moment.
This Eternal Evergreen Tree was a supreme treasure of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Only the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would be able to control the Eternal Evergreen Tree and even fuse with it, unleashing terrifying power.
Although the Changqing The Great was still a step away from the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm, if he fused with the Evergreen Tree, the combat prowess he could unleash might even be more terrifying compared to ordinary peak-stage immortal emperors.
He was a spiritual body, and also an emperor-ranked weapon.
The guardian tree of the Evergreen Kingdom, evergreen, never withering.
Why did the civil war break out back then? Why did the position of the Changqing The Great cause brothers to fight against each other? Whoever ascended to this position would be able to control the Evergreen Tree and become the strongest expert in the Evergreen Kingdom, or even one of the strongest existences in the Eastern Regions. Who wouldn't covet such a position?
"Who wants to fight?" The Changqing The Great spoke. In the royal capital of the Evergreen Kingdom, he was the master.
"Evergreen, stop being so stubborn. I want you to abide by the contract and actually unleashed the power of the Evergreen Tree for battle. Do you think we didn't come here prepared?" The Skymist Immortal Emperor continued. Although the Eternal Evergreen Tree gave him a fearsome pressure, how could they not have made sufficient preparations before coming here as a group? This was a wasted trip.
"Paragon Sword Emperor, your sword is said to be invincible. Why don't you test out the defense of the Eternal Evergreen Tree and see if it's really as the legends say, evergreen and undying." The Skymist Immortal Emperor stared at the Paragon Sword Emperor as he spoke.
The Paragon Sword Emperor nodded lightly. His eyes were like swords, and with a single glance, boundless sword intent descended from the heavens.
He stepped out and waved his hand. In an instant, a Paragon Sword that absorbed the essence of the sun, moon, and stars appeared. As the sword appeared, its light seemed to transcend the past and present. All the experts in the boundless region below instantly closed their eyes. This sword was named Paragon Sword. Paragon Sword, ordinary people could only look up to it. This was the sword of a king.
Boundless astral light cascaded down from the sky, landing on the Paragon Sword Emperor and the Paragon Sword. The Paragon Sword Emperor and the Paragon Sword shone together, borrowing the power of the heavens to shine with the astral light.
The Eternal Evergreen Tree continued to expand, enveloping the entire Imperial Palace beneath it.
In a battle between emperors, if both sides didn't control their attacks, they might be able to destroy the heavens and earth. A single battle could raze an entire city to flat ground. This place was the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. As the ruler of the empire, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally had to protect the people here.
Qin Wentian, Qing'er and the others in the royal palace were like the countless experts in the royal capital. All of them were protected under the radiance of the Eternal Evergreen Tree. For those who stood above the tree, only immortal emperors had the qualifications to participate in this battle.
"Cultivating, the higher one's cultivation base is, the more they would be able to borrow boundless might to unleash destructive might." Qin Wentian stared at the sky. On his journey here, there was no doubt that this point was proven. At the start, when one's cultivation base increased, the change in destructive might wouldn't be too great. But when one became a peak-level expert, the increase in their cultivation base would be extremely terrifying.
Back then, the Changqing The Great once reminded himself that the reason why he was still alive was because Zidi and Dongsheng Heaven Emperor couldn't let go of their pride. If not, he would already be dead.
With regards to this point, Qin Wentian didn't doubt it at all. It was too easy for an immortal emperor to kill an immortal-foundation expert.
Naturally, if Eastern Sage wanted him dead, Emperor Qianbian could also cause the Dongshengxian Gate to suffer a calamity. This was the true reason why both sides were restricted.
As for Zidi, Zi Daoyang was killed by Mo Xie while Zi Yunwu was killed by Di Tian. Nobody knew that it was him. Hence, the killing intent towards him wasn't strong enough.
One day, if Eastern Sage and Zidi discovered the threat he posed, they would definitely kill him without hesitation. Upon thinking of this, Qin Wentian's thirst for power grew even more intense.
Up in the air, the Paragon Sword Emperor formed hand seals as boundless starlight cascaded down on his body. Numerous sharp swords that resembled stars descended from the heavens. Each and every one of these sharp swords shone with a starlight that could pierce through the heavens. With a single glance, one could feel how terrifying these swords were.
And at this instant, the entire sky was filled with these swords. They were like constellations as they slowly descended from the heavens.
"KILL!" The Paragon Sword Emperor waved his hand. The Paragon Sword was like the lord of all swords. The countless swords that could kill everything in the world suddenly sped up and descended from the sky like a meteor. In an instant, they smashed down.
This scene was like a scene of destruction.
The immortal emperors all had halos revolving around them. However, they didn't have any intense reactions. After all, the target of the Paragon Sword Emperor wasn't them. It was the Eternal Evergreen Tree.
"Swish ~" The ancient tree moved, growing even faster than the swords. Countless branches extended outwards, instantly enveloping the Paragon Sword Emperor within. Incomparably complicated runes of light erupted forth from the countless branches. These countless branches actually radiated the power of innate techniques, akin to the law energy of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
A scene of boundless destruction appeared in the air. The branches and the swords clashed against each other. Under the might of the Paragon Sword Emperor, even the heavens and earth seemed to be on the verge of shattering. The branches sliced through the air, exuding a destructive light that caused the entire space to shatter.
"Go." The Paragon Sword Emperor's expression didn't change. With a wave of his hand, the Paragon Sword appeared in the air, causing the heavens and earth to tremble unceasingly. In the starry sky, boundless light cascaded downwards. In an instant, a rain of swords appeared, even more rapid and sharper than a meteor shower.
Under such a rain of swords, an entire city was instantly razed to the ground.
"Bzz, bzz, bzz …" The sky seemed to be filled with a raging tempest. The speed of the swords was simply too fast, so fast that only after the swords sliced through the air did the sounds of swords echo out.
The Eternal Evergreen Tree shone with a resplendent light. Countless branches and leaves covered the sky as a river of stars manifested in the air. The boundless sword might rained down, all of them were absorbed into the river of stars. After that, the entire area started to be destroyed. Occasionally, there would be sharp swords that pierced through the river of swords, continuing their way towards the ancient tree. However, they were all destroyed by the branches.
Stepping out, the Paragon Sword Emperor's silhouette appeared in the air above the river of stars. Countless ancient sword characters floated around him, imprinting themselves onto the Paragon Sword. The sword whistled, causing the heavens and earth to shatter. The Paragon Sword Emperor slashed down, aiming for the river of stars.
A thunderous sound rang out, it was as though the sky had crumbled apart. The Paragon Sword Emperor continued to slash down, wanting to destroy the Eternal Evergreen Tree.
The body of the Changqing The Great seemed to have fused into the ancient tree. His body erupted with an incomparably resplendent light as the gigantic Eternal Evergreen Tree radiated a refreshing green color. For a time, the entire sky and earth transformed into the color of life. This kind of green color covered the entire sky.
"BOOM!"
The Paragon Sword pierced into the main trunk of the Eternal Evergreen Tree, slicing through everything, wanting to shatter it. Millions upon millions of swords rained down, destroying everything under the might of this sword.
The green light illuminated the entire city as the land of destruction instantly regenerated. A terrifying destructive force obstructed the advance of the Paragon Sword Emperor. The entire tree was filled with the light of destruction and rebirth.
The gazes of the crowd stared at the center of the tree. The Paragon Sword Emperor had his eyes closed as a supreme sword might gushed forth from him.
However, that tree was simply too powerful. It was basically an undying trunk that could be reborn from destruction. Boundless energy gushed forth, wanting to trap the Paragon Sword Emperor within.
"Eternal Evergreen, never to wither." When everyone thought of this sentence, their hearts trembled. If they couldn't find the weakness of the Eternal Evergreen Tree, even a supreme weapon like the Paragon Sword Emperor wouldn't be able to destroy it. This was an undying ancient tree, an evergreen tree.
Countless vines grew and multiplied endlessly, locking the Paragon Sword Emperor within. Sword intent that could pierce through the heavens erupted forth, yet it was unable to destroy the Eternal Evergreen Tree.
The Paragon Sword Emperor furrowed his brows. After that, he pointed his finger forward as the Paragon Sword instantly returned to its original position.
"Swish …"
As soon as the Paragon Sword returned, numerous vines manifested. Boundless green light radiated forth, transforming into a heaven-piercing green branch that slashed through the air.
At this instant, the countenance of the Paragon Sword Emperor drastically changed. A dazzling sword light radiated forth as the Paragon Sword Emperor directly vanished from his original location. However, when the jade-green light slashed down, a supreme destructive might manifested. The entire sky seemed to be torn apart as a terrifying black fissure appeared.
"BANG!" From afar, the sword light of the Paragon Sword Emperor clashed against the black fissure and was forced back by the impact. But very swiftly after, he stepped out and stood in the air, coldly staring down at the Eternal Evergreen Tree.
Evidently, he was the weaker party in this confrontation. He basically had no way to shake the Eternal Evergreen Tree.
A towering might suddenly gushed forth from the Skymist Immortal Emperor. The divine elephant he was sitting on turned golden as numerous constellations in the sky seemed to be summoned. From the body of the divine elephant, a terrifying aura gushed forth.
Beneath the feet of the Taihua Immortal Emperor, an emperor painting appeared behind him. This painting was also a supremely terrifying emperor-ranked weapon. Within this painting, there were countless war chariots as well as thousands of soldiers and horses, exuding a terrifying aura that could destroy everything. From the emperor-ranked weapon, the sound of tsunamis could be heard. These war chariots and soldiers seemed to be alive.
"An emperor-ranked battle?" Qin Wentian stared at the immortal emperors in the air. Such a situation was also something he didn't expect.
In the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom, another bright light flashed. Nanfeng Guhong and the other experts from the Namhwang Clan arrived. Three immortal emperors directly passed through the light screen of the Eternal Evergreen Tree. The Changqing The Great naturally wouldn't allow the light screen to obstruct them.
"The Namhwang Clan also wants to participate in the adjudication battle?" The Skymist Immortal Emperor furrowed his brows.
"In the Sacred Academy, Qin Wentian, the Namhwang Clan and the daughter of the Changqing The Great are allies. If the White Tiger people and the Nine Emperors Immortal State want to settle the grudges in the Sacred Academy, please leave now." Nanfeng Guhong spoke with cold arrogance.
"What arrogant words." The baleful aura of the White Tiger Demon Emperor was terrifying.
"My Namhwang Clan has already opened a spatial passageway to the royal palace. Even if we want to keep you here, it shouldn't be too difficult. Do you want to try?" Nanfeng Guhong turned her gaze over, staring at the White Tiger Demon Emperor!
