Chapter 724: Chapter 723: The Mourning Ring Grandfather
"Boy, do you really think I’m an easy target now?"
Ring Grandpa’s face immediately darkened when he heard Liu Zheng wanted to catch him.
Although his current strength was not even a tenth of what it had been, preventing him from displaying his former valor.
But in his heart, he still considered himself a True Immortal.
This was an Immortal, after all.
And now, a mere Saint Realm youngster wanted to catch him?
This almost made him explode with rage—it was too contemptuous.
"Heh, you’re just a soul now, and you still dare to scare me? Do you not know what ’kick somebody when they’re down’ means?"
"Perhaps you once had the chance to reach that level, but you still failed. Plus, with the black aura on your body, your strength is further reduced."
"Right now, you can at most exhibit the strength of an Emperor Realm. Qinglian Sword Technique is more than enough to handle you."
Liu Zheng said calmly to Ring Grandpa, without any sign of panic.
If it were really a True Immortal, Liu Zheng would have activated his future body immediately.
But since it was not, there was no need.
"You can actually see my strength?"
Ring Grandpa was somewhat shocked at this revelation and stared intently at Liu Zheng. When he saw Liu Zheng’s eyes, his mouth fell open.
"This, this is the Void Pupil?"
"No wonder you know my strength, so you possess the Void Pupil."
The Void Pupil is one of the most powerful innate abilities.
Even in the Celestial Realm, the old man had seen it before.
The Void Pupil could see through all falsehoods, making any cover-ups futile before it.
This divine ability was truly terrifying.
Qinglian Swordmaster didn’t speak, just swinging the long sword in his hand and slashing directly towards Qian Yu.
Seeing this, the old man immediately became furious.
"A mere Divine King’s Physique dares to lay hands on me? Do you really think I am so easily bullied?"
He was about to burst with anger at this point.
Even though his strength was now diminished, it was not something that a Divine King’s Physique could afford to trifle with.
After all, he was once a Supreme Emperor, and had even nearly stepped into the immortal realm.
The old man’s voice thundered, reverberating across the entire planet.
In an instant, numerous powerhouses flickered in their gaze, speculating about the old man’s identity and why he regarded even a fully realized Divine King’s Physique as nothing.
Though the old man’s aura was extremely weak, the powerhouses could see that he was no ordinary figure; he carried an aura that transcended the lower realms.
It was as if he wasn’t from their world, more formidable than the average Quasi-Emperor, and in terms of sheer aura, he could even suppress the Qinglian Swordmaster.
It was evident that the old man’s strength was extraordinary, even possibly at the Emperor level.
Could this be the Void Emperor?
The first thing that came to everyone’s mind was the Void Emperor from the forbidden lands, as they hadn’t seen an Immortal themselves.
The Void Emperor was among the most powerful in the Celestial Realm.
Once an Emperor, later the Void Emperor.
"Well then, let me see what you’ve got, to see if you’re worth making such a big fuss."
"Qinglian Sword Technique!"
Qinglian Swordmaster smiled slightly and immediately launched an attack.
In an instant, Sword Qi surged through heaven and earth, and the entire cosmos shone with dazzling light.
A terrifying aura spread out, and an enormous Sword Qi appeared out of the void, bringing with it unparalleled pressure.
In the starry sky, countless Qinglians suddenly appeared, spreading out majestically.
Then the Sword Qi directly sealed off Qian Yu’s surroundings and descended precipitously.
At that instant, the Sword Qi was like an ocean, each wave powerful enough to directly cause the fall of those in the Saint Realm.
Qinglian layman, originally with a Divine King’s Physique, also possessed the Supreme Sword Body and wielded an Emperor-level Divine Weapon in hand.
Even if an Emperor came, they would at best be able to contend with the Qinglian layman.
The two parties would likely end in a stalemate.
"This guy!"
The grandfather in the ring’s face changed immediately as he watched the formidable Sword Qi surge like a tempest, greatly astonishing him.
The Divine King’s Physique before him was much more powerful than he had imagined.
If it were in his era, this being would have undoubtedly crushed an entire epoch, and even he would not have been able to withstand them.
"If you were of the Emperor Realm, perhaps I really wouldn’t stand a chance, but I have already experienced the elegance of that realm. Even as just a soul, you’re not someone who can contend with me."
The elder stood in the void, looking down at the Qinglian layman from above.
It was as if a True Immortal was gazing down at the creatures of the lower realm, and even now, only as a soul, having ascended to that realm once, the elder felt himself to be more noble than them.
"Annihilate!"
The elder said solemnly, and then pushed forward with both hands.
A powerful oppressive force spread towards the encompassing Sword Qi.
Boom!
The collision of tremendous forces resounded like the end of the world, shattering countless stars.
The terrifying power spread outward, causing black holes to emerge within the void.
The strength of the two individuals was too immense; any being in the Saint Realm in the vicinity would be pulverized into dust.
Had the two not left the planet during their fight, the entire planet would have perished.
Divine light flickered as the Qinglian layman’s eyes brimmed with battle intent, the Emperor-level Divine Weapon in his hand buzzing loudly.
"Kill!"
Sword Qi filled the sky as if it wanted to obliterate the entire starry heavens.
The grandfather in the ring reached out a hand towards the Qinglian layman.
It was just that the Sword Qi of the Qinglian layman was too mighty, not something Qian Yu’s soul could withstand, despite the old man’s soul possessing a high-level.
However, Qian Yu was merely of the Venerable Realm, not even reaching the Saint Realm.
In the blink of an eye, Qian Yu’s body had already shattered greatly.
"Damn it, I forgot how weak this body is."
The grandfather in the ring cursed quietly, then transformed into a streak of light, trying to escape from that place.
The Qinglian layman certainly wouldn’t let him go now and directly transformed into a beam of light following close behind him.
"Damn, not again!"
At this moment, the face of the grandfather in the ring grew ugly as the black mist began to erupt once again.
"It can’t go on like this, otherwise my soul will eventually be devoured."
His soul was extremely weak, and intervening on behalf of Qian Yu this time was a tremendous drain on his spirit.
And the black mist was seizing this opportunity to strike at his life.
Now he had no chance to escape.
The Qinglian layman was right on his heels.
"The void within me!"
The grandfather in the ring clenched his teeth and, in a moment of desperation, ignited his own soul, instantly gaining formidable power, and his body entered the void immediately after.
It was as if he became one with the void.
In the blink of an eye, Qian Yu completely vanished, leaving not a trace that could be found throughout the entire universe.
"The vengeance of today, I shall return another day!"
Leaving behind those words, the grandfather in the ring took Qian Yu and fled.
"Is this the perfected Void Physique?"
