Chapter 590 Tracks
"Why does the Dao Emperor seem to have aged so much in just a few days?"

Chu Qing walked slowly forward amidst the sea of ​​corpses, her gaze shifting from Xuan Song to Yi Sheng:

"This must be the ancient emperor, the First Saint, right?"

The ancient emperor remained silent.

His pride shattered completely with that kneel, and everything that had happened in the past two days made him even more silent.

Xuan Song let out a soft breath. The Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand had been twisted and deformed during the battle with Li Juechen, but now it looked as if it had been restored to its original state.

He said softly:
"Since ancient times, Wudi City has been the center of the world."

"When the Great Qian Dynasty collapsed, the imperial palace was also destroyed. When the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors rose to power, they built five mansions on the site of the former imperial palace."

"The middle section connects to the underground palace of the former Great Qian Dynasty."

It also became the place where the Three Sovereigns secluded themselves.

"For three hundred years, no one has ever been able to breach the Five Emperors City..."

"Why does Alliance Leader Chu think this is?"

"I suppose it's not just because fellow practitioners in the martial arts world revere the illustrious names of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

Chu Qing's tone was somewhat strange.

Xuan Song smiled wryly:
"Given Alliance Leader Chu's current status and vision in the martial arts world, there are some things he can't hide from you."

“You’re right. It’s not because those fellow martial artists revere the fame of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but because… the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all very cautious.”

"Be careful, there's nothing wrong with it."

Chu Qing said quietly.

"Initially, this caution stemmed from the concern that some people in the martial arts world might be dissatisfied and continue to cause trouble."

Xuan Song said with a smile:

"In my early years, when I read through the notes of my predecessors, I felt that my ancestors back then were really too lacking in courage."

"Only later did I realize that they were different from us."

"They stood up at the most turbulent time in the martial world, not for the sake of ruling the world, nor for wealth and glory..."

"Instead, they can no longer bear to see innocent people bleed in this world."

"They didn't think they had the talent to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but they had martial prowess. That's why they learned from the barbarians to control them and used the martial arts world to fight against the martial arts world."

"What they are wary of is not that someone is rebelling against them, but that someone is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, crossing the red line set by their rules that endangers the majority of people."

Chu Qing paused slightly in his steps:
"That line is probably not very precise."

"A bunch of brutes, what skills do you expect them to have?"

Xuan Song shook his head slightly:

"But it was precisely that group of warriors who ended those decades of bloodshed and violence, allowing everything to gradually fall into silence."

"Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, each of us, upon inheriting the throne, promised to be careful of the martial world and the world."

"But slowly, this caution changed."

“From a young age, some people have been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, committing mass killings and launching fearless wars for their own selfish gain.”

"It slowly turned into... Be careful someone rises in power and pushes the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors off this mountain peak..."

Chu Qing didn't show any particular expression upon hearing this.

Time changes many things.

Not to mention that the original principles of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have been passed down for so many generations, and they have all changed over time.

Even in a game of telephone, with only a few people involved, the final person's message will be completely different from the initial one.

Even the legendary emperors of today probably couldn't understand what their ancestors, who lived in such a cruel era, were thinking back then.

The original Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could never have imagined that the foundation they built would turn out like this.

Actually, from Xuan Song's words, Chu Qing really admired the original eight people.

They knew what they were doing and what they wanted to do, and then they did it, and they did it for a lifetime.

Xuan Song continued speaking:

"So we killed all those who might have pushed us off the mountaintop."

"Be extremely cautious... Be extremely careful."

"They coveted the power in their hands and controlled the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the world)."

"But we forgot... that even a powerful dynasty like the Great Qian Dynasty could only lie flat and become a rut after being crushed by the wheels of history."

"And we, even if we go to the ends of the earth, there are only eight of us."

"Faced with the real trend of the times, even if we fight back with all our might, what can we possibly achieve?"
"What's even more tragic is that we don't even have the ability to fight back with all our might."

“If you had done your best, you probably wouldn’t be here today.”

Chu Qing said softly:

"You're getting old and starting to reminisce about the past."

"But the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were destined to become history. Their glory began with chivalry, and their downfall stemmed from betrayal."

"It is you yourselves who have betrayed the chivalrous code of our ancestors."

"No matter how much you reminisce, it won't change anything."

"Enough with the small talk, where is Li Juechen?"

"You've passed the test of the two of us."

The ancient emperor slowly opened his eyes:
"Then you will be able to see him."

Chu Qing chuckled softly:
“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.”

"Young man, you think too highly of yourself!"

Yi Sheng spoke coldly. He hadn't wanted to speak before, but now that he did, his voice was booming.

Chu Qing shook her head slightly:

"I don't mean that you will die by my hand if you do this."

"While that's part of the reason... the main reason is, Xuan Song, you've shared so much with me."

"But in the end, not only did you fail to reclaim the chivalry you once abandoned, you also became Li Juechen's dogs."

"The Five Emperors City, which had remained untouched for three hundred years, has fallen."

"The man who deceived himself for most of his life by claiming to protect the world knelt down at the last moment."

How ridiculous!
"If I were you, even knowing that I would be shattered to pieces, I would still burn my last bit of strength and fight him to the death."

"Instead of acting like a complaining woman, wallowing in self-pity."

As Chu Qing finished speaking, she took a step forward.

But with that one step, the surrounding sword light suddenly surged.

The 108 Sword Formations of the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends!
This was something Xuan Song had prepared long ago. He wasn't just reminiscing about the past with Chu Qing, nor was he simply wallowing in self-pity.

Chu Qing smiled slightly:
"But I have to admit, you guys have an extraordinary talent for being dogs!"

The Tai Chi Dharma Image rose from behind Xuan Song, and three hundred and twenty-four sword energies instantly reflected the heavens.

As Xuan Song pointed his sword, he simultaneously attacked Chu Qing.

Yin and Yang converged, transforming into a celestial force that coiled around Chu Qing's body, its strands emanating from heaven and earth and merging into him. Chu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, not even glancing at Xuan Song.

The sword energy that had landed on the protective aura was seen flying backwards.

Not only did it fail to break through Chu Qing's [Undying Heavenly Gang], it didn't even cause the slightest tremor.

Xuan Song's pupils suddenly contracted. Compared to Li Juechen, Chu Qing's response was even more unacceptable to him.

Li Juechen's martial arts skills have reached the level of ghosts and gods.

The various supernatural powers of the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order] are too incredible to be comprehended; it can even leave a trace of itself without being tainted by any dust.

Such martial arts skills left Xuan Song at a loss as to how to fight against them.

But Chu Qing blatantly told him that the [Undying Heavenly Gang] was a purely protective divine skill.

But your [108 Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Sword Formation] simply cannot break through this protective aura in the slightest.

There was no trickery involved, no deceit whatsoever; it was all aboveboard, yet it left everyone speechless!

Xuan Song had already lost his original essence under Li Juechen's hands, and now he was even more unable to withstand the enormous losses of the [108 Swords Formation of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends].

They thought they could put Chu Qing in a difficult position immediately, thus providing an opportunity for Yi Sheng.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, turned his sword, and tried to withdraw the powerful sword formation directly.

But the next moment, a tremendous pulling force caused his expression to change drastically.

"Do you really think I haven't noticed that something's strange here?"

Chu Qing shook his head slightly. Ever since he reached the eighth level of the [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power], the unity of heaven and man had become the norm for him.

How could one not notice something strange while in this place?
He just didn't care.
"You think you can just attack and retreat as you please? Do you take me for a joke?"

With a hook of his five fingers, Xuan Song lowered his waist and sat on the horse, his left hand pressing the index and middle fingers together on the sword. He felt a thousand-pound weight under his feet and circulated the [Three Pure Ones Original Dao Scripture] throughout his body. However, he still couldn't help but rush towards Chu Qing.

Even more critically, he discovered that the Tai Chi symbol behind him had severed its connection with the [108 Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Sword Formation].

All the sword energy within now appears chaotic, yet it operates in a way that he cannot comprehend.

If I'm not the one controlling all of this... then who is?
The moment this thought arose, Xuan Song was suddenly gripped by intense fear.

Who else could it be but Chu Qing?

He seized control of the [108 Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Sword Formation]!
In other words, Chu Qing took away all the sword energy that Xuan Song had left here.

Once he pulls me into the sword formation, all 324 sword energies will swarm towards me!

Boom! ! !
Like a thunderclap, without even looking up, Chu Qing knew that someone had already reached the heavens, and the giant bell in their hand was falling towards him.

Chu Qing slightly raised her eyes, without flinching.

He let the bell crash down, engulfing him within it.

Xuan Song breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could even feel happy, he realized his joy was in vain...

His steps did not stop.

They were still heading towards Chu Qing.

The next moment, he was pulled into the [108 Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Sword Formation].

The big thing is bad!

Chu Qing had already mastered the 324 sword energies within the sword formation. Now, stepping into it, wasn't he going to experience his own unique skill?

In the blink of an eye, the sword energy came crashing down like a surging river.

With a turn of the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand, Tai Chi was initially divided, forming Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols!
He wanted to break down the sword energy, turning a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing.

But how can that be possible?

Ding Ding Ding!
Several sword cries rang out in succession, and the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand could no longer withstand the blows and flew out.

He was now almost touching the ancient imperial bell, and all the sword energy seemed to be swept up by a whirlwind, swirling endlessly around the bell.

In just the time it takes to breathe, Xuan Song's body was covered in wounds and dripping with blood.

Since things had come to this, he simply took a step forward and stuck it directly onto the ancient imperial bell.

But he only felt a weight on his shoulder as Yi Sheng grabbed him and pulled him to the top of the Ancient Emperor Bell.

But just as the two of them regained their footing, a tremendous force suddenly emanated from beneath the ancient imperial bell.

Ancient Emperor Yisheng's expression darkened, and the [Ancient Panwang Scripture] suddenly began to operate, manifesting a huge Dharma image that resembled a god, with terrifying power pressing down on all directions.

Click, click, click!
The endless sea of ​​withered corpses was instantly crushed and shattered by this immense force.

Boulders and buildings also showed cracks under this force and collapsed with a crash.

Wu Qianhuan and the others dared not get too close. Only the Sword Emperor Dongfang Jinghong wanted to step forward and test his strength, but he had already lost Jinghong in the previous battle with Xuan Song Yisheng, so he was without a sword and could not get close.

Xuan Song's expression did not improve much as a result.

He used the "Three Pure Ones' Original Scripture" to heal his injuries, and in just a short time, most of his wounds had healed.

However, it was also discovered that although the Ancient Panwang Scripture was powerful, the sword energy wandering around the Ancient Emperor Bell was not suppressed by this pressure.

This shows that this force did not actually suppress Chu Qing.

Ignoring his injuries, he and Yi Sheng joined forces to completely suppress the ancient imperial bell.

However, even with the addition of Xuan Song's internal energy, the power emitted by this bell remained neither too fast nor too slow.

At this moment, Xuan Song suddenly remembered the overwhelming momentum he had mentioned in his earlier conversation with Chu Qing.

Just like the force Chu Qing exerted.

The momentum is overwhelming and the trend is irreversible; no matter how hard they try, they cannot shake it in the slightest.

Suddenly, that force erupted, and the first thing to shatter was the Dharma form of the Saint. Then, the originally firm and slow force suddenly turned into a surging wave and rose up with a roar.

The irreversible trend is unstoppable!
The ancient imperial bell shattered and flew away, and the two of them were also thrown out with it.

The powerful force shattered their bones, but while they were in mid-air, they found that everything around them seemed to slow down dramatically.

They watched helplessly as cracks appeared on the incredibly sturdy ancient imperial bell.

It decomposes and crumbles bit by bit.

Watching the sword energy wander around, it passed by in an extremely graceful arc, but it slowed down more and more, and finally stopped in mid-air.

They too watched their bodies float there, as if they could be frozen in place for eternity.

But the next moment, a dazzling sword light was suddenly reflected in their eyes.

They couldn't explain what exactly happened at that moment.
But the moment the sword light burst forth, everything that had been still suddenly returned to normal.

The sound of the ancient imperial bell shattering reached my ears, and fragments flew everywhere.

Two figures fell from mid-air, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The sword energy that was wandering in the sword formation turned in mid-air and fell down on the two of them like rain.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Streaks of sword energy pierced through the two of them completely.

Strands of blood slowly spread beneath them.

Chu Qing took a step and landed beside them in an instant.

But they didn't stop, or even glance at them, as if... they were just an insignificant rut in this world.
