Chapter 132: One Sword, a River of Stars
Upon hearing Su Long's words, everyone's expressions changed, and they subconsciously backed away from him.
Although Su Long's identity had been confirmed by the Su family's Tribulation Transcension ancestor, the old saying "the local official is more powerful than the emperor" held true here. Even if Su Long's status in the Profound Yellow Great World was noble, if the Divine Lord Changsheng decided to act, no one in the entire Cangqing Realm could stop him.
"Is he always this bold?"
Li Changsheng glanced at Su Long with surprise, speaking in a calm tone.
In the Cangqing Realm, even the likes of the Holy Demon Prince and the Emperor of Li wouldn't dare speak to him like this. What gave a mere Great Ascension cultivator the courage?
Cold sweat dripped down the forehead of Su Tianba, the Su family's Tribulation Transcension ancestor. He had never imagined that the Li Changsheng Su Qingyu spoke of was actually the legendary Divine Lord Changsheng.
Thinking about how he had allowed the Su family to pressure Su Qingyu, his legs trembled slightly. Yet, he suppressed his fear, stepped forward, and cupped his hands toward Li Changsheng, saying:
"Divine Lord, this is Young Master Su Long, who hails from the Profound Yellow Great World. We were unaware that Qingyu was your beloved, otherwise we would never have committed such a mistake. Fortunately, no major harm has been done. We beg for your forgiveness."
"No major harm?" Su Long walked up to Li Changsheng with an air of indifference and said coldly:
"I am a direct descendant of the Su family of the Profound Yellow Great World. Our family has a True Immortal expert overseeing it. Whether it's a mere Earth Immortal like you or even those who've ascended from the Cangqing Realm to the Immortal Realm, none would dare show me the slightest disrespect!"
Su Long's eyes were filled with confidence. He believed that as long as he revealed his identity, very few in the Cangqing Realm would dare to harm him. In his view, Li Changsheng, from a medium-sized world, could at best have the strength to match an early-stage Earth Immortal.
As a direct descendant of the Su family, he naturally had methods to deal with Earth Immortal-level experts, which was why he showed no fear of Li Changsheng.
"For my to take an interest in your woman is an honor for you!"
"In the Profound Yellow Great World, the holy maidens of sects led by Earth Immortals line up to win my favor, because they know that any connection with my Su family brings immense benefits to their future cultivation."
Seeing Li Changsheng remain silent, Su Long sneered,
"Su Qingyu, I will have her!"
"Do you have a problem with that?"
Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Su Long. They had only heard from Su Tianba about the might of the Su family from the Profound Yellow Great World, but they hadn't expected it to be this powerful!
In the Cangqing Realm, an Earth Immortal hadn't appeared in hundreds of thousands of years, yet the Su family had a True Immortal who had forged an Immortal body overseeing it.
Since Su Long could come to the Cangqing Realm, who could guarantee that the Su family didn't have a way to send more people here?
Some began to look at Li Changsheng with peculiar expressions!
Though Li Changsheng was currently the strongest in the Cangqing Realm, when faced with someone like Su Long with such a powerful background, the best choice was to compromise.
After all, it was just a woman!
For cultivators who lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, a woman was of little consequence.
There was no need to offend such a powerful family over a woman!
"Are you done talking?"
Li Changsheng's expression remained calm and unchanged.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you still planning to oppose me?"
Su Long frowned slightly.
"Since you come from a True Immortal family, you must have some Immortal Jade on you, right?"
Li Changsheng took a step forward, and a domineering aura erupted from his body!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Everyone present felt immense pressure and were forced to kneel.
Only Su Can and Su Long remained unaffected. Su Can was spared because Li Changsheng's aura wasn't directed at him, while Su Long emitted a blue light that enveloped him, protecting him from the pressure.
"Are you going to attack me?"
"How ignorant!"
"Do you think a direct descendant of a True Immortal family can be dealt with by a country bumpkin like you?"
Su Long's face darkened. In the Profound Yellow Great World and the surrounding medium-sized worlds, even the most powerful figures treated him with utmost respect. Yet, in this backwater medium-sized world, an Earth Immortal cultivator dared to attack him? It was a disgrace!
"Noisy!"
Li Changsheng flicked his finger, and a white sword beam shot out.
"A mere Earth Immortal, what can you do to me?"
Su Long sneered repeatedly. He calmly took out an Immortal Talisman glowing with Immortal light from his storage bag. With a burst of true energy, the talisman erupted with dazzling radiance.
An aura even more powerful than Li Changsheng's erupted from the talisman.
In the next moment.
An overwhelming blade beam shot out.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resounded as the white sword beam Li Changsheng had unleashed shattered upon impact. The blade beam, however, remained dazzling and continued to slash toward Li Changsheng.
"This…"
The blade beam was like divine punishment.
Only a few Great Ascension cultivators among the kneeling crowd could barely lift their heads to witness this fearsome blade, their eyes filled with shock.
The blade sealed within the talisman had effortlessly shattered the sword beam unleashed by the Cangqing Realm's strongest man?
Su Long seemed to notice their astonishment and said coldly:
"This is an Immortal Talisman bestowed upon me by my grandfather. It can unleash a strike equivalent to the full power of a peak Earth Immortal."
"With this talisman, I can dominate the Cangqing Realm. What does a mere Li Changsheng amount to?"
Su Long's face was filled with confidence.
But soon, his smile faded.
As the world-destroying blade beam approached, Li Changsheng's expression remained unchanged. A celestial sword appeared in his hand, and with a gentle swing, he slashed out.
"Galactic River!"
This was a move from the "Celestial Sword Scripture," and if executed by an Immortal King, it could extinguish all the stars in an entire star system. Although Li Changsheng's current cultivation was only at the Earth Immortal stage, his body, comparable to that of a divine demon, enhanced the power of this strike to a level capable of slaying a Heavenly Immortal!
Suddenly, all the light in the world seemed to converge into Li Changsheng's sword beam. For a moment, the entire Su family ancestral grounds were plunged into darkness, leaving only that dazzling sword light.
"Boom!"
Another deafening explosion.
The sword beam clashed with the blade beam, and the latter was instantly shattered, disappearing into the void. But the sword beam's momentum didn't wane. It continued to slash toward Su Long and the crowd behind him!
"Divine Lord… spare us!"
"Please, spare us…"
Terror filled the eyes of the crowd as they tried to flee, but under the pressure of this sword, even moving a finger was difficult.
"Hold on!"
Su Long could no longer maintain his composure. He frantically poured true energy into a jade pendant, and a pale blue barrier enveloped him.
'How can a backwater medium-sized world have such a powerful expert?'
'Damn it, damn it!'
'Once I survive this, I'll have my grandfather come and flay Li Changsheng alive, pulling out his tendons and burning his soul in demonic flames for ten thousand years!'
Countless thoughts raced through Su Long's mind.
Now, all he hoped was that the protective jade pendant given to him by his grandfather could withstand this sword!
In Su Long's terrified eyes, the dazzling sword beam finally collided with the pale blue barrier!
Boom!
Su Long's terror grew as cracks began to spread across the barrier the moment the sword beam made contact. The cracks quickly spread across the entire barrier.
"Boom!"
The pale blue barrier shattered!
