Chapter 708: Chapter 477: Profound Celestial Immortal Armor, Slaying the Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s Experts

Maybe it was because Gu Shan had been stuck at the bottleneck of the Late Stage Mahayana for so many years that the breakthrough was relatively easy for him.

Or perhaps it was due to the Holy Pill that Lin Chang’sheng had bestowed upon him.

Gu Shan threw out a punch, the very air around him rippling—the primordial power within him now far more powerful than before.

"Fantastic!"

Feeling the changes inside his body, Gu Shan was thoroughly satisfied.

It felt as if his entire being had been reborn—light as a feather, yet brimming with strength.

The gap between the Early Stage Tribulation Crossing and the Late Stage Mahayana, although just one step apart in realm,

was a difference as vast as night and day—two completely different levels.

It was as if he had undergone a dramatic transformation. Whether it was his physical body, primordial power, or even the power of his divine soul, all far surpassed his previous Late Stage Mahayana state.

"Did you get all the treasures?"

Noticing that the three wooden boxes and the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure atop the Sword Tomb had all vanished, Gu Shan asked in surprise.

Lin Chang’sheng simply nodded.

"Let’s get out of here first. There are already plenty of powerful cultivators from different sects gathered outside! If they discover us, it won’t be so easy to leave."

Lin Chang’sheng answered. Since the treasures were already in hand, it was wise to leave first.

Gu Shan nodded, and the three of them left together.

Although Gu Shan hadn’t obtained any treasures by tagging along, he had been given a Holy Pill by Lin Chang’sheng and managed to break through his long-standing bottleneck, which was more than enough reward.

Guo Yunchu, though unwilling to follow Lin Chang’sheng, had her very life in his hands and had no choice but to go along.

...

While Lin Chang’sheng was collecting treasures, chaos outside had already reached a boiling point.

Because at this very moment, all the powerful factions had gathered on Five Hills Mountain.

Six of the top ten sects in the Immortal Realm were there, including Heaven-Suppressing Sect, Immortal Palace, Piaomiao Sect, Spirit Mountain, Infinite Immortal Sect, and others.

There were also countless divine senses from other factions, such as Celestial Orchid Sect, Blood Robe Sect, Nine Yang Palace, and more.

Multiple factions outside were utterly unwilling to concede to one another, all vying for the treasures within the Immortal Cave Mansion.

The most dominant among them was, of course, the Heaven-Suppressing Sect–led alliance.

Heaven-Suppressing Sect had sent four great elders, making them the most formidable force.

Many other factions were trying to curry favor with Heaven-Suppressing Sect, hoping to get a share of the spoils.

"Zhengyang, you old dog! Our Heaven-Suppressing Sect discovered this cave mansion first. You’re too late—leave now, or don’t blame us for being merciless!"

Jin Zhongchang shouted angrily.

Immortal Palace had only sent one Tribulation Crossing expert, Immortal Master Zhengyang. Trying to compete was suicide.

But Immortal Master Zhengyang showed no signs of backing down.

After all, even if a fight broke out, the other side would suffer losses as well, and plenty of other factions looked to Immortal Palace’s lead.

If they withdrew, it would be tough to win over those factions in the future.

"You’re welcome to try!"

Immortal Master Zhengyang showed not the slightest fear.

Though Heaven-Suppressing Sect had two Tribulation Crossing experts, taking them down would come at a price.

"Fine! If you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!"

Third Elder Jiang Hong, standing at Jin Zhongchang’s side, shouted coldly, ready to attack.

With him and Grand Elder Jin Zhongchang together against Immortal Master Zhengyang, it wouldn’t take a hundred moves to seriously injure him.

Buzz—

But just as both sides were about to make their moves, the grand array guarding the cave mansion on Five Hills Mountain suddenly dissipated.

This surprised everyone.

The collapse of the array shield meant someone had already entered, and perhaps they’d even managed to get the treasures.

"What’s going on? Why did the cave mansion’s array collapse?"

"Did someone get here ahead of us?"

"Impossible—the entrance is right here! No one was able to break the array barrier. How could anyone have gotten in?"

"Maybe there’s another passage somewhere else!"

...

The surrounding sect powerhouses were all stunned, unable to puzzle out what was happening.

"Rats!"

Jin Zhongchang’s divine sense swept out, and in an instant, he locked onto Lin Chang’sheng and the others speeding through the earth below.

He hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng could actually enter the Immortal Cave Mansion from underground and steal the treasures.

Now more than ever, they couldn’t let Lin Chang’sheng get away.

Jin Zhongchang and his group immediately dove into the cave mansion, only to find it completely empty but for the Sword Tomb.

"Damn it! Lin Chang’sheng took everything!"

Fourth Elder Liu Wusheng exclaimed angrily.

No one expected Lin Chang’sheng to dig such a long tunnel straight into the Immortal Cave Mansion.

They’d been outside hammering away at the grand array, getting nowhere.

"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, you two stay here. Sixth Elder, come with me and hunt down Lin Chang’sheng!"

Jin Zhongchang gave his orders, then took Sixth Elder with him in pursuit of Lin Chang’sheng.

Lin Chang’sheng certainly had loads of treasures by now.

And since there was still the Sword Tomb here, there could be treasures inside, so someone had to stay and guard it.

As the grand array collapsed, all the sects surged into the cave mansion, only to find that every last treasure had been cleaned out. They couldn’t help but feel regretful.

"Who on earth was it? Stealing all the treasures right under every major sect’s nose?"

"No idea. Whoever snatched the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion’s treasures is about to leap forward in their cultivation!"

"Yeah! Did you guys see that Sword Aura just now tearing through the skies when the cave mansion burst open? There had to be a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure in there! We were one step too late!"

"Obviously! In the Sword Immortal’s cave mansion, there’s bound to be a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure!"

...

The various sects around whispered in heated discussion.

Immortal Master Zhengyang glanced around and, seeing Lin Chang’sheng had taken all the treasures, rushed off after Jin Zhongchang and his party.

With nothing left of value here, his only option was to go protect Lin Chang’sheng’s safety.

"Foolish!"

As Lin Chang’sheng sensed Jin Zhongchang closing in on him from behind, a cold sneer curved his lips.

He drew his sword, splitting the mountains apart, and strode boldly into the barren peaks to wait for Jin Zhongchang’s arrival.

Not to mention that he now had the Dragon Abyss Sword—the Sword Immortal’s inheritance—even without it, killing a Tribulation Crossing expert wouldn’t be hard for Lin Chang’sheng.

If they wanted to chase him down so badly, he’d give them what they wanted.

"Why aren’t you running anymore?"

Jin Zhongchang saw Lin Chang’sheng soaring up from the ground and stopping his escape, so he emerged as well.

Sixth Elder Yang Tao followed right behind.

If they’d realized Lin Chang’sheng had just killed three Tribulation Crossing experts from the Immortal Martial Hall, they might not have been so eager to give chase.

"You want to deliver treasures to me? I’d be a fool not to accept."

Lin Chang’sheng replied with disdain.

But when Jin Zhongchang heard this, he just sneered, "What a joke. Hand over the treasures from the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion like a good boy, and I’ll spare your life!"

Right now, what Jin Zhongchang wanted most was the cave mansion’s treasures—killing Lin Chang’sheng could wait until after he got them.

"If you kill me, wouldn’t you get the treasure anyway? Or do you lack the confidence?"

Lin Chang’sheng laughed scornfully.

"Impudent! You, a mere Middle Stage Mahayana cultivator, dare to be so arrogant? Let’s see how I handle you!"

Sixth Elder Yang Tao, following Jin Zhongchang, barked in fury. The Late Stage Mahayana primordial power inside him erupted, and he unleashed a palm strike toward Lin Chang’sheng.

The palm print surged forward, transforming into five towering mountains to suppress Lin Chang’sheng.

This technique was called the Five Mountains Divine Palm. With a single blow, it rained down like five giant peaks collapsing at once.

To him, Lin Chang’sheng was just a Middle Stage Mahayana cultivator—he could kill him at will!

No point wasting words.

Once he was dead, the treasures would be his.

But this Elder Yang from Heaven-Suppressing Sect was gravely mistaken—if Lin Chang’sheng were that easy to kill, he wouldn’t have survived this long.

"Foolish!"

Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Dragon Abyss Sword and slashed out with it.

He wanted to see just how powerful this Sword Aura truly was.

Roar—

The razor-sharp Sword Aura split the heavens, turning into a golden dragon roaring toward the sky.

Rumble—

In an instant, the golden dragon Sword Qi shattered Yang Tao’s palm strikes completely.

"What—"

Yang Tao’s heart skipped a beat in terror.

The Sword Aura came crashing down so fast, he didn’t even have time to dodge.

Boom—

The Sword Aura slammed into Yang Tao, turning him into a cloud of blood midair, killing him on the spot.

"What terrifying Sword Qi!"

Seeing Yang Tao killed by a single sword strike from Lin Chang’sheng, Jin Zhongchang was utterly shaken.

The treasure in Lin Chang’sheng’s hand must have been obtained in the cave mansion.

If only he could seize that treasure, his own strength would surely skyrocket as well.
