Chapter 970: Reaching the Sky in a Single Step (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

As the array was broken, the Devil Clan army rushed towards Shen Ping with all their might, but it was a pity that they were all futile. The Immortal Venerable of the Devil Clan turned around and fled.

He was very decisive. However, no matter how fast he ran, he could not compare to Shen Ping’s teleportation. In just a dozen breaths, he was killed by Shen Ping.

“The Immortal Venerable of the Devil Clan has died!” Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan sighed.

In the immortal dao territory, Venerable Sovereigns rarely attacked. Usually, Immortal Venerables would fight each other, but very few Immortal Venerables died. After all, an Immortal Venerable almost represented the top combat strength of the Immortal Dao territory. Even the most ordinary ones had many life-saving methods.

However, under Shen Ping’s attack, he could not even last four to five breaths. Of course, this was mainly because this Immortal Venerable did not have a Great Dao treasure armor. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Shen Ping to kill it.

“Shen Ping! You dare to kill my Devil Clan’s Immortal Venerable? You’re courting death!” The moment the Devil Clan’s Immortal Venerable died, an angry shout came from the sky. Then, as if the sky was pressing down, an endless terrifying aura condensed into a huge palm print that slapped towards Shen Ping.

As the palm imprint condensed, space and time almost stopped.

Shen Ping felt that the surrounding air was quickly compressing towards him like a wall. If it were any other immortal king, just this kind of compression would probably be unbearable for their immortal body. However, with the Heavenly Star Armor, he could easily resist this compression with a slight activation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

He allowed the palm print to slam down. The Heavenly Star Armor around him transformed into a phantom armor that blocked the palm imprint.

“Damn it.” Amidst the furious roar, the terrifying palm print that was like the sky instantly turned into twelve palm prints that bombarded the armor phantom from all directions, causing layers of ripples to appear on the Heavenly Star Armor.

Back when Shen Ping was still a True Immortal, he had relied on the Heavenly Star Armor to forcefully block a Venerable Sovereign’s attack. Now, he was already an Immortal King and had even comprehended the complete Great Dao and 30% of the top Great Dao. Under the activation, he could unleash 60% of the defensive power of the Heavenly Star Armor.

On the other hand, the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign was not even at the mid-stage of the Initial Dao Realm. He was only slightly stronger than Shen Ping. Even if he attacked with all his might, he could not break through the defense of the Heavenly Star Armor.

Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan felt relieved.

“As expected of a great dao treasure!”

“This armor is probably at least at the level of a top Great Dao true treasure!”

The two women were envious. In the entire immortal dao territory, many Great Dao supreme treasures were only medium-grade. In the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land, they obtained a few, but they were all ordinary Great Dao supreme treasures.

“Haha, Devil Emperor, if you want to kill me, you’d better go back and cultivate for tens of millions of years!” Shen Ping laughed out loud.

The Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign was furious. These words were simply an insult to him. However, after the attack just now, he already understood that he could not do anything to Shen Ping.

As the figure slowly appeared, his burning eyes stared at Shen Ping, and his voice was cold, “I didn’t expect that the little fellow who was as weak as an ant back then had already grown to this extent. You clearly have an Immortal King’s Immortal Body, but you can erupt with the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. Looks like you comprehended a complete Heaven and Earth Great Dao. It’s because of the Realm Sea Peak, right?!”

Even if he said so, he was extremely jealous. The Realm Sea Peak has always been a huge opportunity in the Immortal Dao Domain. Unfortunately, after Venerable Sovereigns like them entered, although they also gained something, their growth was only better than before. They were far inferior to these low-level Beast Spirit geniuses.

Shen Ping said noncommittally, “Devil Emperor, it’s impolite not to reciprocate. Take one move from me too!”

The black spear suddenly released an endless amount of black light. Under the activation of the Chaos Hole and Fate, the power of a Great Dao supreme treasure erupted. In just a moment. more than a thousand black light spear shadows struck the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

An ancient bell condensed around the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign, blocking the spear shadow. He snorted. “In the end, you’re still too young.”

Shen Ping did not mind. After all, the other party was an old Venerable Sovereign. Although his realm was indeed only at the early-stage Initial Dao Realm, he had many methods and a Great Dao treasure on him. If he wanted to injure the other party, he had to use a puppet to bombard him at all costs.

“Devil Emperor, although I can’t hurt you, you can’t do anything to me. Those Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings of your Devil Clan, on the other hand, better be careful. If they appear in the immortal city again, don’t blame me for bullying the weak. Haha!” With that, he turned around and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Immortal Venerable Yao and Immortal Venerable Luan quickly left. The Devil Clan Venerable Sovereign’s eyes darkened. “This junior actually grew so quickly. Could it be that the human race is really not destined to die?!”

With a genius junior with the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign keeping an eye on the Immortal City Battlefield, the plans of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the other races naturally fell through.

Dozens of days later, the news that Shen Ping had the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign and was not at a disadvantage when fighting the Devil Clan’s Venerable Sovereign spread crazily in the Immortal Dao territory at the speed of a hurricane. Those races that were originally watching immediately sent experts to visit the human race.

The Dragon and Phoenix races also sent Immortal Venerables to the Northern Ice Immortal City at an extremely fast speed. There were also other vassals. Even the Winged Race, who had been wavering, expressed their attitude. They even contacted Yin Ting and asked her to convey the goodwill of the Winged Race.

He had not broken through to the Venerable Sovereign realm, but he had the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign, so Shen Ping’s status and identity had soared in the past few dozen days. It could be said that he had become a popular expert in the Immortal Dao territory.

…

In a remote territory, the four Venerable Sovereigns of the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, the Flame Race and the Demon Race had descended.

“Di Xin, does that human Shen Ping really have the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign?” the Spirit Race’s Venerable Sovereign asked. The other two Venerable Sovereigns also looked at the Devil Clan’s Di Xin.

Di Xin nodded, “Indeed, I fought with him for a while. With the protection of the Great Dao Treasure armor, I can’t do anything to him. However, he hasn’t broken through to the Immortal Venerable Realm and has only comprehended a complete Heaven and Earth Great Dao.”

The Demon Race’s Venerable Sovereign snorted, “He’s quite ambitious. Looks like he doesn’t want to take the path of an ordinary Great Dao.”

Ordinary Immortal Venerables would immediately break through after comprehending a Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

Shen Ping was still an Immortal King. It was obvious that he had not broken through. The Flame Race’s Venerable Sovereign frowned and said, “No matter what, Shen Ping has already become a huge problem for us. He has only cultivated for a short period of time, but he already has the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign. In the future, he will probably be even stronger than Tian Hong. How should we deal with him? You should think of a way!”

The Venerable Sovereign of the Spirit Race said indifferently, “Using a tiger to devour a wolf. Didn’t Tian Hong suffer serious injuries because of an expert from the outer realm? No matter how strong this Shen Ping is, he’s definitely not a match for an expert from the outer realm. Let’s not find trouble with the human race for now. We’ll do our best to find that expert from the outer realm and let Shen Ping join in. When the time comes, we’ll let him deal with him.”

“Agreed!”

“Seconded.”

After deciding on the plan, the four Venerable Sovereigns slowly disappeared.

This was the first time Shen Ping had come to the mountain hall on the highest peak. Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong, Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, Immortal Venerable Yu, and the other Immortal Venerables of the human race were all gathered. Everyone’s faces were filled with emotion and joy.

Although Shen Ping was their junior and they had watched him grow, now that he had the strength of a Venerable Sovereign, it was undoubtedly a huge joy for the human race. Especially when Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong was injured, it was like a timely rain.

“Haha, congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shen!”

The Immortal Venerables who were on good terms with Shen Ping congratulated him one after another. Shen Ping also replied with a smile.

Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong sat at the head of the table, raised his wine glass, and laughed heartily. “Now that my disciple has the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign, this is a blessing for our human race. Everyone, this matter should be made known!”

All the Immortal Venerables raised their wine glasses and drank it in one gulp. Not only was the peak of the Misty Holy Peak congratulating them, but the entire mountainside and the foot of the mountain were also congratulating him and holding a celebratory banquet. Many experts personally congratulated Lian Xuejin and Fairy Xuanshui. Some of them were fawning over them.

Lian Xuejin was still in a daze. She had never expected her disciple to have the combat strength of a Venerable Sovereign without making a sound!

Fairy Ji Wei was excited and happy. She was very glad that she had handed her innocence to Shen Ping back then. Not only had she left the Immortal Extinction Forbidden Land, but she had also become a Dao Companion of a Venerable Sovereign. She had simply reached the heavens in a single step!
