Peerless God Emperor

He was as strong as ever, and he did not put anyone in his eyes.    

However, it was not up to him to decide now.    

"The Godly Monarch has already fallen for many years. The current Godly Monarch Palace is no longer the same as the Godly Monarch Palace of the past. If you forcefully change the Godly Monarch Palace's structure, you will be making an enemy out of the Four Great Shrines. Is this the result you want?" Chang Qingtian suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice.    

Fen Old Master looked at Chang Qingtian coldly and said sarcastically, "You have also cultivated by the side of the Godly Monarch back then. The Godly Monarch has treated you well. Now, you actually want to overrule the Godly Monarch's authority. Aren't you being too ungrateful? Are you worthy of the Godly Monarch's kindness?"    

"I am worthy of the Godly Monarch." Chang Qingtian's expression was calm as he said, "I have never thought of monopolizing the power. Instead, I want to control the Godly Monarch Palace together with the other Shrines. This heart can be seen by the sun and moon, and the heaven and earth can be seen."    

Qin Xuan stared at Chang Qingtian. Perhaps what he said was the truth, but what he did was definitely not what the Godly Monarch wanted to see. The Four Great Shrines controlled the Godly Monarch Palace together, and the position of the Godly Monarch was like an empty title. Did he really respect the Godly Monarch?    

He probably just said it on the surface.    

"The current strength of the Godly Monarch Palace is far from its peak. It is simply unable to rule over the 33 Heavens. At this moment, it is meaningless to support this person. It will only make the various great powers laugh at the Godly Monarch Palace for not having anyone. It is impossible for them to listen to the orders of the Godly Monarch Palace sincerely."    

"Besides, the Ksitigarbha Tiger is eyeing him covetously. If he really becomes the Divine King, wouldn't he have to send people to protect his safety at all times?" The Venerable Chang Qingtian sneered and said, "For a dignified Divine King to actually need subordinates to protect him, isn't that a bit too laughable?"    

A trace of light flashed across the eyes of Xing Miao, Donglai, and the others. What the Venerable Chang Qingtian said was also what they were thinking in their hearts. If the Divine King's successor was strong enough, they would naturally be willing to submit to him. But now, he was only a Heavenly Tribulation Venerable, and he was simply too weak. He simply did not have the ability to rule the Divine King Palace.    

Rather than handing over power to a junior, they were naturally more willing to hold it in their hands.    

"So you're determined to stop me." Fen Old Master said coldly. His deep eyes revealed a dangerous light, and the pressure on his body also became much stronger, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become extremely oppressive.    

"Hmph, so what if he's strong?" The Venerable Chang Qingtain's expression was sharp, and a powerful divine might also bloomed from his body. A towering ancient tree suddenly appeared behind him. The ancient tree was flowing with a dazzling green divine radiance, and it was like a divine tree of heaven. As the branches and leaves swayed, the green divine radiance radiated out in all directions, and at the same time, a great terrifying fluctuation spread out.    

"Dong." Qin Xuan's heart beat violently, and his face was filled with intense shock. The Venerable Chang Qingtian's divine might was much stronger than the Wuji Heavenly Venerable's, and it was not much weaker than Fen Old Master's. It could be seen that he was a true peak-level character, and he should have relied on his own comprehension to step into the Manifestation Realm.    

What Qin Xuan did not know was that in the ancient times, Chang Qingtian was one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Universe Palace. At that time, he was only one step away from the Manifestation Realm. Later on, he relied on his own comprehension to step into the Manifestation Realm. Naturally, he was not someone that the Boundless Heavenly Venerate could compare with.    

"It seems that you are very confident in yourself. After so many years, I wonder how much you have improved." Fen Old Master said indifferently. Back then, Chang Qingtian was the Vice Hall Master of the Universe Palace, and he was already a high-ranking member of the Divine King Palace. But now, he was too arrogant, and his identity could not be seen clearly.    

"I also want to experience the strength of the Burning Heaven Venerate from back then." Chang Qingtian said proudly. His words were filled with great confidence. He had been in the Manifestation Realm for more than 600,000 years, and perhaps he was not as strong as Fen Qing at his peak, but he was definitely stronger than the current Fen Qing.    

Fen Old Master stepped forward. In an instant, golden God Light slashed forward like sharp blades. The space it passed through was directly split into two. The Great Dao did not exist, and all the power was reduced to nothingness by the God Light.    

A sharp light flashed across Chang Qingtian's eyes. He stretched out his palm, and with a whoosh, countless green leaves whistled out from the ancient tree. Each leaf contained an extremely strong Great Dao power, causing the space to tremble violently as if it could not withstand the power contained within.    

"Puchi …"    

The ancient tree's branches and leaves were continuously cut and destroyed by the golden God Light, but new branches and leaves immediately came over, as if there was an endless supply of life force. Not long after, the endless branches and leaves completely covered the space, and the golden God Light disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.    

"He blocked it." Seeing this scene, Xing Miao and the others were extremely shocked. At the same time, they felt a little emotional. Chang Qing had blocked Fen Qing's attack in a direct confrontation. This meant that his Great Dao could contend against Fen Qing.    

Qin Xuan's heart was also stirred. The battle between Fen Old Master and Chang Qing Tianzun did not seem to be very intense, but it was a direct collision of the power of the Great Dao. If there was a clear difference in the Great Dao between the two sides, the outcome would be determined. Just like how Fen Old Master had suppressed Wuji Tianzun.    

Chang Qing Tianzun was able to block Fen Old Master's Great Dao, which showed how powerful he was. He was worthy of being the master of a hall.    

"You are already old and no longer belong to this era." Chang Qing Tianzun looked at Fen Old Master and said. He had some respect for Fen Old Master. After all, he was once a top expert of the Divine King Palace. However, he was now lonely and should not be standing on the divine altar. He should retreat to the back.    

"You're right. I indeed do not belong to this era." Fen Old Master's expression was calm as he said, "This era belongs to the younger generation. Only the younger generation can make the Divine Realm reappear with its former glory."    

Chang Qing Tianzun and the others could not help but freeze. This era belonged to the younger generation?    

"The younger generation refers to him?" Chang Qing Tianzun looked at Qin Xuan and asked, his expression indifferent.    

"He is one of them. There are also many other outstanding younger generations. They will open up a new era in the Divine Realm." Fen Old Master said indifferently.    

Chang Qingtian suddenly revealed a smile. His smile seemed to be filled with sarcasm. He had never thought that such words would come out of the mouth of the God of Slaughter. He had actually entrusted the future of the Divine Realm to a group of juniors. It was too ridiculous.    

"If Kṣitigarbha comes, do you expect those juniors to defend against him?" Chang Qingtian asked with a cold smile.    

"It's pointless to say more. Time will prove everything." Fen Old Master said indifferently.    

"It is indeed meaningless. I am not here to argue with you. Release Wuji. Let's pretend that nothing happened today. In the future, you can cultivate in the Divine King Palace and will not be disturbed. Of course, if there are any other conditions, you can also state them."    

Chang Qingtian said with a solemn expression, "This is the greatest concession I can make. It won't do you any harm."    

In fact, Chang Qingtian did not want to get into a deadlock with Fen Old Master. At the beginning, he did not come personally to avoid conflict with Fen Old Master. However, Fen Old Master wanted to kill Empyrean Wuji, so he had no choice but to show up to save him.    

Even so, he did not want to be too ruthless. After all, they were all from the Divine King Palace. He only wanted them to not interfere with each other.    

Xing Miao, Donglai, and the others also looked at Fen Old Master with anticipation in their eyes. They had the same idea as Chang Qingtian. As long as Fen Old Master did not insist on pushing Qin Xuan to the throne of the Divine King, they could discuss other matters.    

Qin Xuan looked at everything in front of him and could not help but sigh in his heart. If the Divine King knew that the current Divine King Palace was like this, he wondered what kind of feeling he would have.    

He was sure that he would be very disappointed.    

Fen Old Master did not respond to Chang Qingtian's words. Instead, he looked at Xing Miao, Donglai, and the others and said, "You all have the same idea, right?"    

Xing Miao and the others did not say a word. It was obvious that they had tacitly agreed with Fen Old Master's words.    

"Very good." Fen Old Master spat out a voice. In the next moment, his expression became incomparably sharp, as if he had suddenly become a different person. This caused Xing Miao and the others' expressions to change, and they felt a trace of unease in their hearts. They felt that something was about to happen.    

Fen Old Master stretched out his palm and said in a clear voice, "Sword, come."    

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably terrifying Sword Intent suddenly appeared in a certain area in the depths of the Divine King Palace. At this moment, countless cultivators in the Divine King Palace felt their hearts tremble violently. They all looked in the same direction at the same time.    

What happened over there?    

In the Supreme Purity Hall, Chang Qingtian and the others felt great waves in their hearts. Naturally, they had also sensed the Sword Intent. Not only that, they also knew where the Sword Intent came from.    

It was the sword that was inserted into the Divine Sword Platform. It was a top-notch divine weapon personally created by the Divine King, the God Slaying Sword.    

The Divine Sword was a treasure left by the Divine King in the Divine King Palace. For millions of years, no one had been able to take it out, and they could only borrow it to cultivate. Chang Qingtian and the others had tried to take it out many times, but they had never succeeded.    

And at this moment, Fen Qing had activated the God Slaying Sword to unleash the Sword Intent. Obviously, there was some kind of connection between him and the God Slaying Sword. This also meant that Fen Qing might be able to take out the God Slaying Sword.    

Thinking about this, their hearts began to race. With Fen Qing's strength, if he held the Divine Sword, who could match him?    

Even Chang Qingtian was not confident in being able to contend against him.    

At this moment, Qin Xuan was also shocked in his heart. He naturally did not know that the Sword Intent came from the Divine Sword that the Divine King had forged, but he could still guess a little. Fen Old Master was currently summoning a very powerful treasure.    

On the Divine Sword Platform, an incomparably huge golden divine sword was inserted into the ground. It was extremely shocking, as if it was a true peerless divine sword.    

At this moment, the golden divine sword was trembling violently, as if it was trying to break free from the restraints of the Divine Sword Platform. The sword's body unleashed an incomparably shocking Sword Intent, and the surrounding space turned into a world of swords. It was filled with a sharp Sword Dao aura, enough to easily kill a Third Calamity Heavenly Venerate.    

Boom! Accompanied by a loud sound, the golden divine sword finally rushed out of the Divine Sword Platform and turned into a golden sword light that shot explosively in a certain direction. It was precisely where the Supreme Purity Palace was.    

The golden divine sword's speed was extremely fast, and it flew through the void at a high speed. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the Supreme Purity Palace. Fen Old Master grabbed it with his hand.    

"God Slaying Sword." Chang Qingtian and the others looked at the golden divine sword in Fen Old Master's hand with burning eyes. Their hearts were filled with shock. They never thought that Fen Old Master would be able to control the God Slaying Sword.    

Was this his own ability, or was it bestowed to him by the Divine King?    

Qin Xuan also stared at the God Punisher Sword. With just a glance, he felt a terrifying Sword Intent enveloping his body. It was as if the sword had its own consciousness. If it wanted to kill him, he felt that he might not be able to withstand it.    

A sword that could kill three calamities.    

"A divine sword of the Divine King?" A thought flashed across Qin Xuan's mind. Other than the Divine King Sword, he could not think of any other divine weapon that had such power.    

"How are you able to control the God Punisher Sword?" Chang Qingtian stared at Fen Old Master and asked in a deep voice. This was the thing he was most puzzled about.    

"Back then, the Divine King had thought that the Divine King Palace might weaken in the future, so he left the Divine Punishing Sword in the Divine King Palace. If the Divine King Palace met with any danger, he could use the Divine Punishing Sword to retreat the enemy." Fen Old Master said, "However, the Divine King did not think that when the Divine Punishing Sword was used, it was not to retreat the enemy, but its own people."    

Qin Xuan stared at the Divine Sword. He could feel the coldness coming from the sword, as if an ice-cold snake was moving on his skin. He waved his hand lightly, and the tip of the sword cut through the air, making a sharp whistle, as if even the stars were trembling.    

Suddenly, a terrifying Sword Intent gushed out from the God Punisher Sword, sweeping over like a raging flood, tightly enveloping Qin Xuan's body. He felt as if he was in an ocean of swords, surrounded by sharp swords that could tear him into pieces at any time.    

"This... Is this the power of the God Slaying Sword?" Qin Xuan was extremely shocked. He had never thought that a sword could possess such a terrifying power. He tried his best to mobilize his Genuine Essence, trying to resist the Sword Intent, but he discovered that he was actually unable to move at all.    

"The Divine King Sword?" This thought flashed across Qin Xuan's mind. He instantly understood the origin of the Divine Punisher Sword. Other than the Divine King, who else could forge such a powerful divine weapon?    

At this moment, Chang Qingtian's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Xuan's ears, "Why are you able to control the God Punisher Sword?" His voice was cold and serious, as if it carried an endless pressure.    

Qin Xuan turned around and looked at Chang Qingtian. He saw that he was staring at the Divine Sword in his hand with a serious expression. His eyes were filled with a complicated light. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I don't know how to control it. When I hold it, it seems to be connected to my soul."    

Chang Qingtian frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with Qin Xuan's answer. He said in a deep voice, "The Divine Punisher Sword is a divine weapon forged by the Divine King. It possesses endless power. Since you are able to control it, you must have a special fate."    

Qin Xuan nodded. He also felt that there seemed to be some kind of mysterious connection between him and the Divine Sword. He gently caressed the sword and felt the cold touch. An inexplicable excitement rose in his heart.    

At this moment, the Divine Sword suddenly let out a buzzing sound, and the light on the sword became even more dazzling. Qin Xuan and Chang Qingtian looked at it at the same time. They saw the tip of the sword pointing into the distance, as if it was guiding them in the direction.    

"Looks like the God Slayer Sword has its own will." Chang Qingtian said in a deep voice, "Let's follow it and see where it wants us to go."    

Qin Xuan nodded. He gripped the Divine Sword tightly and followed its guidance, embarking on an unknown journey. In the night, the two of them gradually walked further and further away, leaving behind the humming of the Divine Sword in the night sky.
