Chapter 1480: Chapter 1578: The Great Battle Against the Sky Swallowing Palace Hall Master

The Qin Emperor, wielding an overpowering force with his sword stroke, aimed to gain the upper hand in this single exchange, but unexpectedly, the Sky Swallowing Palace Master clamped the blade between two fingers.

This scene not only changed the Qin Emperor’s complexion but also made the other eight Great Longevity figures look extremely solemn.

Merely two fingers, without any apparent additional movements, were enough to clamp such a forceful sword stroke from the Qin Emperor? What level of cultivation is required to accomplish such a feat?

“With that little skill, you dare to make a noise in the Sky Swallowing Palace?” Dugu Nian sneered and suddenly exerted force with her fingers, sending the Qin Emperor, along with his Longsword, flying backward.

“Attack together!” The Western Moon King shouted, as he, the South Zodiac King, the North Spirit King, and the Yuan Emperor joined forces to besiege Dugu Nian.

The Qin Emperor also adjusted his stance and charged again. Although Dugu Nian’s previous move had greatly surprised him, the battle was already underway, and there was no room for retreat; the Sky Swallowing Palace Master must be executed here and now.

Dugu Nian’s figure floated, dodging the fierce assaults of these men. Her body soared straight up, and she stood in the air with her fair, flawless feet, looking down at the people below.

“If it’s only you few, don’t even think about defeating me,” Dugu Nian laughed, lightly stepping towards the group of the Qin Emperor and others.

BOOM!!!

A gigantic foot descended, covering the sky and overshadowing the Qin Emperor, Yuan Emperor, and the three Heaven Kings underfoot.

Heaven Step!

This move, notably from the three sects, was the famous Heaven Step, which was now displayed under Dugu Nian’s feet, terrifyingly powerful. Not to mention Yin Wuyan, even if Situ Yue himself performed the Heaven Step, it wouldn’t be nearly as formidable as the one Dugu Nian had just unleashed.

“She actually knows martial arts from the three sects!” the Yuan Emperor exclaimed in shock. Immediately, the group unleashed their palms together, attempting to withstand the force of Dugu Nian’s foot.

BOOM!!!!!

The Heaven Step landed, leaving the Qin Emperor and his group with nowhere to hide, forcibly enduring the blow, their faces turned pale, for the power of the Heaven Step was even greater than they had imagined.

“Could it be that this Sky Swallowing Palace Master is from the three sects?” The Qin Emperor, Western Moon King, and the others began to suspect and doubt. After all, not just anyone could use the famous Heaven Step even within the three sects, and not every master there could perform it.

Yet this Sky Swallowing Palace Master could perform the three sects’ Heaven Step, which immediately led the Qin Emperor and his group to believe she was one of them.

“It’s not over yet, this is just the beginning.” Dugu Nian’s voice rang out again, as Heaven Step continually rained down, being executed one after another.

The Qin Emperor and his group had no choice; the area covered by the Heaven Step was too large, they couldn’t escape its range and had to stand and defend.

Fortunately, these individuals were top-notch powerhouses, and their combined strength could indeed withstand the might of Heaven Step.

After seemingly seven or eight strikes, the faces of the five figures, including the Qin Emperor and the Western Moon King, turned particularly unsightly. After all, they were prominent figures in the Nine Countries, each esteemed by tens of thousands, yet now they were being trampled upon like ants, and though they were not injured, it was very humiliating for them.

“Break for me!” Suddenly, the Yuan Emperor roared furiously, his body coursing with a mighty surge of vital energy.

As one of the Three Emperors, the Yuan Emperor’s unique advantage was his physical strength.

The Yuan royal family passed down a secret skill for physical strength enhancement, only allowed to be cultivated by the Yuan Emperor and the Crown Prince of each generation. Once at great achievement, one’s physical strength could be increased three to four times in a short period.

Yuan Emperor possessed an extraordinary aptitude, hence he had cultivated the royal secret skill to the Great Achievement Realm, allowing him to increase his physical strength to four times, even nearly five times, instantly. Among the past Yuan Emperors, he was considered to be exceptionally outstanding.

With his physical strength enhanced in an instant, Yuan Emperor unleashed a punch, its powerful momentum surging upwards.

Everyone knew very well that if they continued to be oppressed by the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master, they would not gain the slightest initiative. Even if they could withstand the Hall Master’s offensive, they saw no chance of victory.

Therefore, breaking the deadlock was a must, or at the very least, to take the initiative on the scene.

Yuan Emperor’s punch came at just the right moment.

Dugu Nian’s gaze remained as usual, and with a pointing gesture, a sky of red radiance enveloped the punch thrown by Yuan Emperor within countless flickers of red light.

“Eliminate!” With a soft cry, the fist imprint suddenly collapsed, causing Dugu Nian no trouble whatsoever.

However, the punch was not entirely without effect, as Qin Emperor and the three Heaven Kings took this opportunity to launch their offensives in turn.

“Kingly Tao Sword!”

Qin Emperor brandished the longsword, still using the sword technique passed down through generations of Qing Nation’s royal family, extremely domineering, emphasizing sword intent rather than sword moves.

The three Heaven Kings also each exhibited powerful martial arts without any reservation.

Joking aside, facing such an unfathomably deep opponent, to hold back would be an utter mistake.

Faced with the offensive of experts like Qin Emperor, Dugu Nian did not move a muscle, seemingly having no intention to dodge.

Moreover, in such a situation, dodging was meaningless. At this level of combat, it was no longer a matter of dodging; it was a contest of raw power, where only the stronger could win.

Compared to Qin Emperor and the others, Dugu Nian was undoubtedly the stronger one.

A palm from Dugu Nian descended, and a flash of red brilliance burst forth.

Amidst the red glow, each technique employed by Qin Emperor and the others was blocked, unable to break through that layer of red light.

“What?” The group was shocked. Their moves were essentially their ultimate skills, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, yet the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master had so easily withstood their blows.

At that moment, they truly realized that the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master had probably already stepped into the Immortal Realm.

With this thought, their minds grew heavy. How terrifying was it to face an Immortal opponent? Perhaps up to this point, the Hall Master hadn’t even used his real methods. Otherwise, as an Immortal being, they probably would have been defeated long ago.

Dugu Nian arrived in the air, looking down at Qin Emperor and the other strong warriors with a mocking gaze, and smiled, “How does it feel? After reigning supreme across the Nine Countries for so long, doesn’t it feel uncomfortable to be suppressed by me?”

Qin Emperor and the others stayed silent, their hearts naturally uncomfortably so. Allying with the Hidden Kill Hall was already disagreeable to them, and now realizing the overwhelming strength of the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master, although it was still uncertain who would ultimately fall, at the very least they were completely at a disadvantage now.

“Enough talk, even if your cultivation is profound, how can you alone change anything?” the Western Moon King shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Dugu Nian let out soft laughter: “It seems I need to show you what true Immortality is.”
