"Heavenly Emperor..."
"Sinking forward?"
At the same time, the two different titles, spoken simultaneously by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Erlang Shen, left everyone present stunned.
Perhaps reminded of something, many of the immortal warriors present temporarily forgot about fleeing and panic, and stared blankly at the quietly floating figure inside the suddenly opened "Heavenly Gate".
Although the palace behind him was broken, its former glory could still be vaguely seen.
That is the Lingxiao Palace, the former residence of the number one person in the Heavenly Realm.
Most importantly, they sensed an aura of authority emanating from that figure, a presence that was ingrained in their very bones, and they began to tremble slightly, unable to stop themselves from doing so.
It was as if many years ago, they had stood in various corners of the Heavenly Realm, looking up at "him" with reverence or admiration.
"How could this be... The immortal position before the sinking was the Heavenly Emperor, which Heavenly Emperor?"
Although Qu Bai and the others were not immortal martial artists, they were not stupid. From the reactions of the people around them, as well as the unfamiliar yet aloof ancient charm emanating from Shen Qian, they could guess something.
At this moment, Shen Qian's face was indifferent, his eyes deep and unfathomable, containing the myriad phenomena of the stars, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
"Eighth Junior Sister, this..."
Startled, Cheng Qingqing glanced at Ji Ruoshui, only to find that the other woman also looked bewildered, clearly unaware of what had happened.
"Could I have guessed wrong?"
Cheng Qingqing's confusion and shock were undoubtedly the deepest among those present.
She once had a spiritual connection with Shen Qian. On that occasion, Cheng Qingqing thought she had seen through the secret deep in Shen Qian's soul. Shen Qian... was undoubtedly the reincarnation of the person she once regarded as her father.
But why... did he become the Heavenly Emperor again before sinking?
These are two completely different people!
"Teacher, what exactly is going on...?"
Cheng Qingqing subconsciously clenched her fingers, wishing she could fly to Gao Wenyuan immediately and ask him the reason.
While Cheng Qingqing was at a loss, Shen Qian had already taken a light step and arrived at Yaochi Palace from Lingxiao Palace in an instant.
At the same time, with a "pop," as if an illusion had shattered, the distorted space returned to normal.
Jiang Chengye's domain... disappeared.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stared at Shen Qian until the crisis of death had unknowingly dissipated before she came back to her senses.
boom!
Jiang Chengye abandoned her directly. To be precise, after Shen Qian appeared, Jiang Chengye was like a wild beast that had been provoked. His face was ferocious, and an unparalleled terrifying power suddenly erupted from his body, directly sending the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden flying.
Everyone retreated quickly, and in an instant, only Jiang Chengye and Shen Qian remained facing each other in the center of Yaochi Palace.
"You're not...you're not!"
Jiang Chengye ignored the scattering crowd and stared intently at Shen Qian. This was the first time he had spoken since swallowing the Heavenly Emperor's Heart. His voice was dry and hoarse, as if he wanted to frantically deny something.
"die!"
Before Shen Qian could answer, Jiang Chengye roared and stomped his foot, charging towards Shen Qian like a raging bull as space shattered.
Rumble! Rumble!
At that moment, the world darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and the waters of the Jade Pool were instantly overturned by the overflowing power.
Starlight refracted and converged on Jiang Chengye, and with each step he took, the space trembled violently.
"puff!"
Many powerful figures who had already retreated thousands of meters away felt dizzy and coughed up blood at this moment, unable to withstand Jiang Chengye's footsteps, which were merely a gathering of strength.
Even a few powerful figures like Wang Shuo and Jiutian Xuannv were pale and swaying.
If Cheng Qingqing hadn't protected Jiang Xuan in time, this girl with the lowest cultivation level in the entire room would have perished in an instant.
Everyone was shocked, only then realizing that Jiang Chengye had been attacking on instinct before, and it was only at this moment that he had regained some of his true fighting spirit under Shen Qian's inexplicable stimulation.
If Jiang Chengye was this terrifying just now, there would almost be no one alive here now.
"Sinking forward..."
Cheng Qingqing's expression suddenly changed, and she turned her gaze to the figure of Jiang Chengye facing alone amidst the apocalyptic, shattered scene.
Even though they were so far apart, they were all seriously injured by the overflowing power. What kind of astonishing pressure must Chen Qian, who was facing Jiang Chengye's attack, be enduring?
But soon, Cheng Qingqing realized that her worries were unnecessary.
Standing quietly in front of the sinking object in mid-air, he appeared calm and composed amidst the collapsing spatial rifts, his expression remaining unchanged.
Just as Jiang Chengye, who was imbued with boundless power, was about to crash into him, Shen Qian finally raised his hand and gently clenched it.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Shen Qian's incredibly gentle movement condensed into a golden, illusory hand within the farthest range of the world that could be seen.
The colossal hand, exceeding ten thousand feet in length, moved in perfect sync with Shen Qian's hand movements. As Shen Qian clenched his fist, the golden, sky-covering hand tightened its grip as well.
Without a sound, all the storms, all the star illusions, along with the churning waters of the Jade Pool and the shattered spatial rifts, all vanished.
It's like a miniature, flat oil painting that's been roughly crushed, squeezed, and then vanished.
Suddenly, Shenqian's figure began to grow infinitely tall, gradually occupying the end of the world and the entire field of vision.
His palm gradually overlapped with the sky-covering giant hand at a slow yet incredible speed.
