Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 304: Falling Sky.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“The sky is falling…”

Although the old man’s tone did not fluctuate much, it couldn’t hide his complex emotions.

The death of the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals meant that the Major Sects’ reign had collapsed.

It wasn’t only the old man who thought this way either. The other Legends also thought the same, including the disciples of the Major Sects and Rogue Martial Artists.

Half-Step Earth Immortals were dazzling existences, no matter which era they were put in. Only Earth Immortals could suppress them.

How could people not be surprised about this outcome? How could they not be afraid?

On the other end of the spectrum, compared to the fear and anxiety of the overseas Martial Artists, the Tang Empire was in ecstasy.

“Your Majesty, the Third Uncle has won!” The commander of the Imperial Guard, who had just entered the Legend Realm, excitedly reported to Emperor Li Sheng.

Despite his only recent breakthrough, the commander of the Imperial Guard could still roughly feel the changes in the sky with his Divine Sense. Currently, all of the auras belonging to the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals had been wiped out, leaving only Su Qin’s. Obviously, Su Qin had won.

“Indeed, the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals have fallen.” The Old Taoist confirmed the commander’s words.

Su Qin single-handedly killing the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals was equivalent to suppressing the entire overseas. From now on, who else in the world could stop Su Qin?

Though, there was a trace of fear in the Old Taoist’s heart. This time, the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals had joined forces to kill Su Qin. Although the Dao Yi Men Sect didn’t send anyone, the Old Taoist was uneasy since he wasn’t sure of Su Qin’s attitude towards his Sect.

As for whether the Dao Yi Men Sect could block Su Qin, the Old Taoist never thought about it.

After all, no matter how strong the foundation of the Dao Yi Men Sect was and how long their history was, it cannot be compared to seven Half-Step Earth Immortals joining forces. So if even the latter died, what could the Dao Yi Men Sect do to stop Su Qin?

They could only do so when an Earth Immortal emerges within their ranks…

However, in the past thousands of years, there had been no sign of an Earth Immortal emerging anytime soon. Why would one suddenly appear now?

Besides, even if the Dao Yi Men Sect produced an Earth Immortal, it would be two different things to stop or kill Su Qin. After all, Su Qin easily killed seven Half-Step Earth Immortals. Obviously, the former’s strength had reached the threshold of the Earth Immortal Realm.

What the Old Taoist did not know was that the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals were much stronger than normal, as they had increased their strength with the combined technique.

If the Old Taoist knew this, his evaluation of Su Qin would not be as simple as reaching the threshold of the Earth Immortal, but rather the latter was already an Earth Immortal.

“I hope that the Sect Master will take the initiative to surrender. Only in this way, can we have a chance at survival…” The Old Taoist thought silently in his heart.

“Third Brother won?”

Emperor Li Sheng and Su Yueyun looked at each other, breathing a sigh of relief. Emperor Li Sheng asked, “Will those Major Sects continue to take revenge on Third Brother?”

He knows that these Major Sects were extremely protective of their ‘face’. Now that Su Qin had won, how could these Major Sects give up easily?

Of course, the reason why Emperor Li Sheng asked this was entirely because he did not know the status of the seven Ancestors in their respective Sects. He may have gotten some information about the Major Sects from the likes of the Old Taoist, but there was very little information that involved the Half-Step Earth Immortals.

After all, how high of an existence were Half-Step Earth Immortals? Before today, even if the Old Taoist had been given 10x the courage, he would never dare to imagine that one day, seven of them would fall in the hands of Su Qin.

“Revenge against My Lord?”

The Old Taoist was stunned for a moment, before shaking his head, “It’s too late for those Major Sects to beg for mercy. How could they dare to take revenge on My Lord?”

The Major Sects had never been hit this hard before. Even if there were still other Half-Step Earth Immortals sleeping, since Su Qin could kill seven of them, killing a few more would be a breeze.

Taking this into account, would they dare to provoke Su Qin?

Otherwise, they might just follow the Myriad Sword Sect’s footsteps and have their long history be cut off.

While everyone marveled at Su Qin’s feat, the person in question was indifferent. As if what he just did was light work.

Well, it’s actually the case…

The Golden Crow Divine Body surpasses the ordinary Dharma Body. When fighting with the seven Half-Step Earth Immortals, Su Qin only used the power of his body. As for other means, like the new magical eye power, they had not been used.

“Come.”

Su Qin’s thoughts moved as the Lightning Seal of the Thunder God Sect spun around and flew towards Su Qin.

“This magic weapon is not bad.”

Su Qin glanced at Lightning Seal and slightly nodded.

Other than the fist mark on the Lightning Seal, which he left, its power was terrifying.

Even with the strength of Su Qin’s body, the Lightning Seal was still able to withstand a punch from him, and it only left a fist mark.

“If I devour the power of lightning in this seal, my [Thunder God Penta Fist] will ascend to a higher level…”

A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.

If the Thunder God Sect knew that their treasured Lightning Seal would just be devoured by Su Qin, they would probably faint from heartache.

Next, in addition to the Lightning Seal, Su Qin also collected all of the magic weapons left by the other Half-Step Earth Immortals.

It’s a pity that most of the magic weapons were turned into powder after Su Qin’s punch or kick. Only a few of them survived, like the Lightning Seal.

“It’s a pity that the cauldron broke…” Su Qin glanced at the cauldron used by the Medicine Master and shook his head.

Su Qin had Signed In for decades and had obtained a small number of cauldron-like magic weapons. Now that he had finally seen one with a ‘not bad’ quality, it couldn’t withstand Su Qin’s punch.

While Su Qin was counting his harvest.

Far outside the Tang Empire, many of the Sect Masters of the Major Sects were gathered together on a mountain peak.

“This time, the Half-Step Earth Immortal Ancestors would make their move together. Even if the Tang Empire’s Legend has the ability to reach the sky, he would still fall to the ground…”

The Thunder God Sect Master said.

“This time, the Thunder God Sect’s Ancestor had brought the Lightning Seal and paid a lot. So it’s only just that after today, the Thunder God Sect will occupy Chang’an City.” The Thunder God Sect Master glanced at the other Sect Masters and continued.

At this time, in the eyes of the Sect Masters, the most important thing was how to divide the battlefield.

“Chang’an City?”

The other Sect Masters frowned when they heard this.

Chang’an City was the ancient capital of ten dynasties, and it was the core of the battlefield.

It would definitely be where the most benefits appear. This was already proven when the vitality reached its first critical point. A Fire Element Source appeared just hundreds of miles away from Chang’an City.

The other Sect Masters were naturally unwilling to just give such a treasured land to the Thunder God Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Lei, it’s true that your Sect had paid a great price, but did the Witch Sect also pay nothing?”

As soon as this was said, the rest of the Sect Masters immediately opened their mouths. They all wanted to take Chang’an City for themselves. Since they were supported by their Ancestors, none of them gave in.

In the end, they jointly decided that each Sect Master would take charge of a part of Chang’an City and jointly rule this ancient capital.

After dividing Chang’an City, the next step was to divide up the rest of the Tang Empire.

“The 102 prefectures in the Southwest belong to the Dark Source Sect.”

“The 113 prefectures in the Northeast will be taken by the Snow God Palace.”

“The 299 prefectures in the Southeast belong to the Witch Sect…”

Soon, the Sect Master’s had finished dividing the entire Tang Empire. Currently, they were looking towards Chang’an City.

“The Ancestors should be back soon.”

They were located outside the Tang Empire, and were hundreds of thousands of miles away from Chang’an City. Naturally, they couldn’t perceive the battle that took place in Chang’an City.

Of course, in the eyes of the Sect Masters, there was no need to perceive what’s happening. They were certain that the Ancestors would win. The Tang Empire’s Legend was as good as dead.

Whilst the Sect Masters were waiting patiently, the Sect Master of the Dao Yi Men Sect suddenly asked: “Are you all so sure that the Tang Empire’s Legend will lose?”

Hearing this, the Dark Source Sect Master immediately sneered: “It’s the Dao Yi Men Sect that refused the proposal. The ownership of the battlefield’s territory has nothing to do with you…”

Although the Dao Yi Men Sect had existed since the last prosperous era and its heritage far surpasses that of the Dark Source Sect, because they didn’t take action several times now, they had already provoked dissatisfaction among the other Major Sects.

“Fellow Daoist, can’t you see the situation clearly?”

“Who in the world can stop the joint force of Half-Step Earth Immortals? What could the Tang Empire’s Legend do? How could we lose?”

The Snow God Palace Sect Master shook her head and glanced at the Dao Yi Men Sect Master with sympathy.

“Really?”

The Dao Yi Men Sect Master looked calm, one cannot see any waves in the depths of his eyes.

At this time, several lights suddenly came rushing from the depths of the Tang Empire and quickly rushed towards the Sect Masters.

“Why did Qing Zhou come back?” The Thunder God Sect Master noticed that among the rushing lights was his direct disciple, and frowned.

Shouldn’t his disciple be taking over Chang’an City, right now?

The other Sect Masters also found that there were also disciples of their Sects, as they wore puzzled expressions.

“Could it be that the Ancestors want us to go to Chang’an City?” The Divine Medicine Sect Master guessed.

The others also nodded.

Indeed, the speculation of the Divine Medicine Sect Master should be a fact. Otherwise, why would their disciples rush back?

But there were still one or two Sect Masters who had doubts, because they found that the speed of the few rays of light was abnormally fast.

If it’s just to pass the news from the Ancestors, why would they be so desperate?

Although using forbidden techniques was effective, it had great consequences. Unless it’s a matter of life and death, no Martial Artist was willing to use them.

After a moment, several lights had arrived in front of the Sect Masters.

“Sect Master!”

The Thunder God Sect disciple named ‘Qing Zhuo’ knelt down in front of the Thunder God Sect Master and wailed loudly: “Master, it’s over. Everything is over, the Thunder God Sect is over…”

His cry sounded extremely tragic.

When the Thunder God Sect Master saw this, his face immediately changed.

“What happened?”

“Where’s the Ancestor? Did he order you to come here?”

“What’s the situation in Chang’an City? Did the Tang Empire’s Legend get punished?” The Thunder God Sect Master asked several questions in a row.

At this moment, even though he had already noticed that things had changed, he still didn’t want to believe it and had a shred of illusion.

“The Ancestor?”

Qing Zhuo suddenly felt sad. He saw with his own eyes that the Ancestor was killed by Su Qin. Even the Lightning Seal was blown away. The questions brought back such memories to him.

“Sect Master.”

“The Ancestor is dead.”

“The Ancestor is dead, they are all dead.”

Qing Zhuo trembled, his voice extremely hoarse.

“Dead?”

“The Ancestor is dead?”

The Thunder God Sect Master was shocked. His mind went blank, and he couldn’t respond for a long time.

At this moment, the voices of the other disciples, who escaped from Chang’an City, also sounded.

“Sect Master, the Ancestor has fallen…”

“Sect Master, Ancestor Qingmang is also dead…”

“Palace Master, the Ancestor is dead…”

The Sect Masters stood in place, dumbfounded. Their faces turned pale and they trembled all over.
