Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Qin Heng had never been so angry. To think that someone dared to attack his family in Tianhai, to attack his sister—this was courting death!! Courting death!!

"Qin Heng, you..." Cheng Yuyao didn't understand what was happening. She stared at the furious Qin Heng with a face full of shock, about to say something, when suddenly she felt the ground tremble!

BOOM!!

Like an earthquake, a terrifyingly powerful impact surged forth, as if a gigantic bomb had suddenly exploded. The ground of the café sank, and the floor shattered into pieces, sending everyone sprawling.

Qin Heng transformed into a streak of golden light and shot out of the café, flying into the sky. With a tearing sound, the sky itself seemed to rip open, and the clouds disintegrated. This streak of golden light instantly broke the sound barrier, flying towards Tianhai at incredible speed!

My God, this... Cheng Yuyao watched the sky in disbelief. I must be dreaming, she murmured, "What did I just see? He... he actually flew straight into the sky!?"

To fly into the sky with one's own power! And to fly at such incredible speed! Only Innate Grandmasters who have cultivated special martial techniques could do this! Why can Qin Heng fly into the sky!? And that sound just now, was that the sonic boom of exceeding the speed of sound in flight? Heavens! Could Qin Heng be an Innate Grandmaster?? How is that possible!? This is too inconceivable!

"This is a Saint Emperor, an Eternal Emperor, not some Innate Grandmaster." Su Weiyang's voice rang in Cheng Yuyao's mind, filled with reverence. "After the Immortals left the Central Heavenly Domain, the emperors went into hiding, and the Land Fairies vanished without a trace. The Eternal Emperor is the de facto strongest in the mortal realm!"

What exactly is an Eternal Emperor? And what are these Saint Kings?? Cheng Yuyao was completely confused. She failed to grasp what Su Weiyang was talking about, as her understanding of Earth's Martial Dao from the Ancient Era was almost nil.

"Above the Innate is the Saint. Above the Saint is the Great Saint. Above the Great Saint is honored as the Saint King, also called the Saint Lord. They can establish a major sect or found a kingdom.

Above the Saint King are the Deity and the Dominator. They rule over regions, command millions of miles of territory, and govern many divine dynasties and major sects. They can even incarnate as the sun and extinguish the Starry Sky; their power is boundless and immense!

And the Eternal Emperor is a being above the Deity! Ten thousand Deities could not match a single finger of an Eternal Emperor. A drop of a Saint Emperor's blood could extinguish hundreds of Perpetual Stars! A casual strike could shatter the Milky Way! That is the might of a truly powerful being!!" Su Weiyang spoke with utmost reverence. Although she was very weak, when describing the power of the Deity and the Eternal Emperor, she seemed to suddenly regain her strength, her tone becoming spirited, filled with respect and admiration.

That's too much of an exaggeration, Cheng Yuyao thought. She couldn't believe it at all—or more precisely, she dared not believe it—and said in utter shock, "One person can destroy the Milky Way? How is that possible? The Milky Way has a diameter of a hundred thousand light-years, with hundreds of billions of Perpetual Stars!!"

"A frog in a well knows nothing of the great ocean," Su Weiyang snorted coldly. "I need to sleep and recover for at least four or five days. During this time, behave yourself. Remember, you must show respect to that Saint Emperor Qin!"

After that, her voice disappeared.

Cheng Yuyao tried calling out a few times, but there was no response. In the end, she could only helplessly look towards the sky, towards the direction where Qin Heng had left, her willow-like eyebrows knitted lightly. She whispered to herself, Is Qin Heng really that formidable??

Although Su Weiyang had spoken with such certainty, as if it wasn't false, the level she described was simply too incredible for Cheng Yuyao to believe.

「Dongpu District, Tianhai.」

At the front gate of Qin Heng's villa, the scene was one of utter chaos. The once neat and flat road surface had been torn up, leaving huge fissures and holes everywhere. Overturned soil was scattered all around, resembling the aftermath of a bombing raid!

Unimaginably brutal!!

Standing before the gate were the Zeng Family and their associates, totaling over thirty people, all bearing menacing and deadly expressions.

Leading them was a tall young man who appeared to be in his twenties. He was dressed in an expensive suit, looking refined and cultured, as immaculate as a tourist merely visiting the sights.

Beside this young man stood a short, elderly man, just over 1.6 meters tall, with white hair and a beard, looking to be in his seventies. His forehead was completely bald, not a single hair in sight. The rest of his hair was tied into a long braid!

It hung behind his head like a pigtail.

He was dressed in the fashion of the Qing Dynasty era!!

Clutched in the elder's hand was a ghost-head saber, its blade stained with blood, from which one could faintly hear the wailing cries of ghosts. The man himself seemed like a malicious demon that had stepped right out of hell, ready to slaughter everything in the mortal realm!!

Opposing them, standing guard at the villa entrance, were Qin Heng's ordained divine spirit, Qing Chen Jinmu; Su Ying from the Realm of Firmament Myriad Gods; and Yun Lingsu, a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

Qing Chen Jinmu was equivalent to an Innate Grandmaster at the pinnacle of her power. Su Ying, now the divine envoy of Qing Chen Jinmu, also possessed Innate-level strength. Yun Lingsu was a Grandmaster of Transcendence. This was why Qin Heng had felt at ease leaving Qin Yun and Song Ningran in Tianhai.

Under normal circumstances, no one should have been able to defeat them.

Yet, now they were all grievously wounded. Yun Lingsu's arm had been severed, and she sat slumped on the ground, bleeding profusely!

Qing Chen Jinmu and Su Ying had been beaten until their Divine Bodies were on the verge of collapse, flickering unstably.

Clearly, they were all critically injured and on the brink of death!!

"Still not giving up?" The young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down with contempt. He said calmly, "If you keep fighting, you will really die. Condensing a body via the Divine Path isn't easy. It would be a pity for you to die just like that."

"In your dreams!" Qing Chen Jinmu gripped her scepter, struggling to stand. She looked at the young man and said, "I am a divine spirit personally ordained by the Immortal Venerable, tasked with protecting this domain and its people. If you wish to harm the Immortal Venerable's kin, you must first destroy me!"

She had been dead once before; it was Qin Heng who had reconstituted her soul and ordained her as a divine spirit, granting her a new life. For Qin Heng, she held immeasurable respect.

To protect Qin Heng's kin, she would not hesitate to sacrifice her own life.

"What a pity." The young man shook his head in disappointment, sighing. "I didn't expect that Qin Xuantian, that little brat, would have such a divine servant. It seems the news of him receiving the legacy of the ancient Ziwei Star Palace is true. Mr. Ai, since this divine spirit seeks death, grant her wish."

"As you wish, Young Master!" The elder man in Qing Dynasty attire nodded. Lifting his ghost-head saber, he looked at Qing Chen Jinmu with a cold smile. "Ah, a Han deity! I haven't killed one in so long! HAHAHA!! More than three hundred years ago, when I followed my teacher slaughtering you lowly Han dogs, I also beheaded quite a few deities. I never imagined I'd get another chance after all these centuries!! Come! Face your death!! Han deity, you will disintegrate into ash, just like those Han dog deities I have slain!! HAHAHAHA!!"

CLANG!

A saber light cut across the sky, reeking of blood, like a ghostly blade bursting out from the abyss of hell!!

It actually suppressed the Clear Light of the Divine Path radiating from Qing Chen Jinmu!

In an instant, it reached her!

Slashing towards her head!
