Chapter 252: Terror!
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“Earth Immortal…”
The Old Taoist fell into a trance.
Even overseas, where Martial Arts flourished, Earth Immortals were legends that would not appear without thousands of years passing by. The lineages of the Major Sects were left behind by Earth Immortals.
But even they could not Cultivate Earth Immortals.
It was true that there were flaws, such as in the Dark Source Sect’s technique that made it hard, if not, impossible for one to become an Earth Immortal. But it’s also just difficult achieving the Earth Immortal Realm in general.
In order to tackle the Earth Immortal Realm, not only one would need to become a 9th Heavenly Layer Legend, one also had to condense the mini domain and transform their Divine Sense into Primordial Spirit.
Even if these were completed, the success of achieving the Earth Immortal Realm was a different matter. In history, many talented individuals failed to enter the Earth Immortal Realm.
The consequence of failure was the decline of qi and blood, as well as the collapse of Divine Sense. Finally, they one would be forced to seal themselves into a deep sleep.
The Old Taoist’s thoughts were turning rapidly, he became more and more shocked.
If it was someone else, the Old Taoist felt that even if the other party prepared everything, he might not be able to successfully step into the Earth Immortal; but it’s Su Qin we’re talking about…
Since meeting Su Qin, the Old Taoist has been shocked by the former countless times. If even Su Qin can not step into the Earth Immortal Realm, then there should be no Martial Artist in this world that could touch the Earth Immortal Realm.
Su Qin did not pay attention to the Old Taoist’s shock and simply continued to instruct a few things. He then turned to leave, arriving at the majestic hall underneath Chang’an City.
“That Ancestor Chi Yuan did have some tricks up his sleeve.”
Su Qin sat cross-legged and a sense of urgency rose in his heart. Although he killed Ancestor Chi Yuan quite easily, it was because he had the elemental advantage.
The black cloud was formed from Death Energy and Su Qin’s fire restrained these types of Yin Qi.
Otherwise, if Ancestor Chi Yuan had used other killing moves, Su Qin would definitely not have killed the former so effortlessly. He needed to at least raise his hand two more times.
“I’m still too weak!”
“The overseas Martial Arts World is prosperous. They have an inheritance that dates back to the last prosperous era, so they still must have many hidden trump cards.”
Su Qin’s heart sank.
If he was an Earth Immortal, Ancestor Chi Yuan wouldn’t have been able to even get close to Chang’an City. He’ll also be crushed into pieces by Su Qin’s Great Domain. There would be no need for Su Qin to personally take action.
“Many of my trump cards could only be brought to their full potential when I reach the Earth Immortal Realm.”
Su Qin’s thoughts ebbed and flowed. He became even more eager for breakthroughs.
For example, the minimum requirement for the [War God Records] is the Great Domain, and the Great Domain could only be possessed by an Earth Immortal. Su Qin’s Mini Domain could only cover a hundred feet in circumference, while the Great Domain could cover a hundred miles.
Another example is [Buddha’s Palm], known as the Buddha’s personal technique. It was one of the most powerful, if not the strongest, Divine Art that Su Qin had. Currently, he’s only at the ‘First Form: Only I Am Supreme’. As for the next eight forms, Su Qin could only do use if he’s in the Earth Immortal Realm.
There’s also the [12 Divine Beast’s Statues]. He’s only at the early stage of the [Burning Sun Divine Art], but it provided Su Qin a lot of help. Now, what if he could further it’s Cultivation, what benefits would he obtain? However, again, that could only be done if he’s an Earth Immortal.
In addition, the [Burning Sun Divine Art] needed a lot of resources. With Su Qin’s current ‘wealth’, not to mention Cultivating to Great Achievement, even if it is just the Small Achievement was something that could not be done in a short time.
“Let’s prepare to break through to the 9th Heavenly Layer.”
“As long as I step into the 9th Heavenly Layer, I would be able to use the Primordial Spirit Pills to transform my Divine Sense into a Primordial Spirit. Subsequently, I would be able to tackle a much higher realm in the shortest amount of time possible.”
Su Qin slowly closed his eyes and the endless True Essence in his body began to boil.
At the same time, a large number of resources that aided Cultivation appeared in front of him. Even overseas, these were rare beyond comparison. Some of them were even lost.
But at this moment, such things were right in front of Su Qin.

While Su Qin was once again in seclusion, in the middle of a certain bamboo forest hundreds of miles from Chang’an City, three figures stood quietly.
If there were Legends present, they would surely realize that these three figures had a terrifying aura. They were clearly three Peak Legends.
However, at this moment, they did not show any majesty that Peak Legends had. Instead, they had cold sweat on their foreheads.
“Ancestor Chi Yuan actually died?”
A Peak Legend wore a gloomy expression.
These three Peak Legends were also Ancestors of overseas Major Sects.
Ever since the Ancestors of the Dark Source Sect, Snow God Palace, and Myriad Sword Sect had awakened, coupled with the news of the battlefield appearing, they, as Ancestors within their respective sects, also naturally wanted to fight for a piece of territory in the battlefield. They awakened and came together, so that they could prepare for the prosperous era.
Originally, the three Peak Legends just came over to watch a bit. They did not want to compete with Ancestor Chi Yuan and the others.
After all, they were not stupid to not know the strength of Ancestor Chi Yuan.
However, what the three Peak Legends did not imagine was that not only the Legend in Chang’an City was not afraid of Ancestor Chi Yuan and his group, he also killed all of them!
What kind of terrifying power was this?
This was especially true when Su Qin ignited the black cloud. Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, they also could still feel its power, making their hearts palpitate.
“Too strong, too terrifying.”
The second Peak Legend was full of emotions.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the aura Su Qin displayed was still at the Legend Realm, they would have thought that Su Qin was an Earth Immortal.
“Fortunately, we were not with Ancestor Chi Yuan and his group…” The third Peak Legend’s tone was filled with relief.
They were also Peak Legends. Even if they were not as strong as Ancestor Chi Yuan, they were not much weaker than Ancestor Xue Xin and the Myriad Sword Sect’s Ancestor.
But with the strength Su Qin showed, even if the three of them were added, there would be no difference in the outcome.
“The battlefield has only appeared in the last ten years, how could such a terrifying powerhouse appear?” The first Peak Legend voiced the doubt in his heart.
One should know that only when the vitality recovered, would the battlefield appear. Before that, the so-called battlefield was nothing more than a barren continent where even Legends were incomparably rare, not to mention Peak Legends.
To think that in such a barren place, a powerhouse of this caliber had appeared…
“What should we do now?” The second Peak Legend asked cautiously.
They had joined forces to come here because besides watching Ancestor Chi Yuan take action, they also had the idea of seizing a piece of land here.
But now…
Even if the (second) Peak Legend was given ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to compete for the territory in the Tang Empire.
Ancestor Chi Yuan’s group was the prime example of why they shouldn’t do that.
“The Tang Empire is guarded by that Legend from Chang’an City, so of course we need not seek our own death.”
The third Peak Legend pondered for a moment and continued, “But on this continent, the Tang Empire has only united the most prosperous Kingdoms in the center.”
“As for the outer areas, they are not owned by the Tang Empire. If we occupy these remote areas, the Tang Empire will certainly not have any problem with it and the Legend of Chang’an City will naturally not make a move against us.”
The eyes of the remaining two Peak Legends instantly lit up when they heard this.
Although the remote areas at the edge of this continent were far less rich than the center, they were ultimately part of the battlefield. If they could occupy it, it would be of some benefit to their own sects.
It was better than having nothing.

A few days later, everything that had happened in Chang’an City was spread overseas.
The overseas Martial Arts World was thrown into an uproar.
“Ancestor Chi Yuan has died?”
“How long has it been since a peak legend has fallen?”
“The Peak Legend in the battlefield is too terrifying. Ancestor Chi Yuan had a domain, but he still got killed.”
Countless overseas Legends were heatedly discussing the current events, while venting the shock in their hearts.
What kind of existence was that Peak Legend if Ancestor Chi Yuan, that’s by no means an ordinary Peak Legend, was killed? With such news, how could anyone not be shaken?
“Ai~”
“The Dark Source Sect has really fallen this time. The death of an Elder is bearable, but now even Ancestor Chi Yuan is dead, tsk…”
Some Legends looked in the direction of the Dark Source Sect, agreeing.
- ווו
In the Dark Source Sect.
There was silence.
From the Dark Source Sect Master down to the disciples, they were all filled with grief and a trace of… terror.
If the death of Mingyou, the Vice Sect Master of the Dark Source Sect had caused them anger, then the death of Ancestor Chi Yuan had produced terror.
That’s right.
It was pure terror.
Not anger, not hatred, not sadness, but terror.
The death of the Ancestor Chi Yuan had completely exceeded the bottom line of the Dark Source Sect Master. Even the thought of revenge did not appear in their minds.
