Chapter 1351: Heaven-sent Black Rain
gh they were facing annihilation when confronted with such divine fire.Just then.Some people also discovered Shen Changqing in front of the altar, as well as Ming He behind him. When they saw the two,..."Boom!"
The sword of Heavenly River slashed down, annihilating the void. Its terrifying power made space itself vanish instantly. The Death Spirit Emperor, who had once wielded a half-step immortal treasure, roared in fury, pouring boundless energy into his divine weapon and unleashing a terrifying blade of light.
in an instant.
The two forces collided with tremendous force.
Only to see the sword light swallowed by Jian Dao Tianhe, as if crushing and destroying everything in its path, the overwhelming power surged forward. The Dead Spirit Emperor's face changed drastically, and he immediately raised his divine sword across his chest, trying to block this terrifying blow.
"Boom—"
The void shatters.
The Lich King's body trembled violently, and he was flung backwards with a tremendous force. He crashed back into the Nether Realm before finally coming to a halt.

The sudden turn of events also caused the other two Death Spirit Emperors to change their expressions drastically.
On the other side.
Shen Changqing arrived from the sky, his Star River Sword Qi surging beneath his feet, transforming into sword lotuses blooming. When he landed on the city wall, all the visions vanished.
"Raise it high!"
“The Headmaster of Heavenly Sect has arrived!”
When all the celestial beings saw Shen Changqing appear, their spirits lifted. Especially when they saw him repel a Death Spirit Emperor with a single strike from afar, their hearts were filled with awe and excitement.
For three years, the Netherworld invasion has raged on. The army of the dead relentlessly assaults the heavens' defenses. Countless powerful beings emerge from their ranks, while the heavenly forces find themselves stretched thin in comparison.
Now that Shen Changqing has appeared, it undoubtedly boosts their morale.
After all, the other party is known as the strongest in heaven and earth. They once suppressed ancient emperors with their own power.
And.
Shen Changqing's appearance now, with a single strike from afar, repelling a Death Spirit Emperor, further boosted his momentum.
"Heavenly Mandate God Emperor, long time no see!"
On the city wall, Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back. His blue clothes fluttered gently, like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal realm. He first glanced at the sky-high walls, gaining some understanding of the current situation.
Several years ago, when the Netherworld Gates first opened, death energy seeped in, and the realm belonging to the Netherworld only occupied a hundred miles of empty space.
But over the past three years, the undead have relentlessly assaulted the heavens, and the Netherworld has continuously expanded. Now it occupies a million miles of void, a hundredfold greater than its former size.
The Heavenly Barriers are built on the borders of the Heavenly Realm, only about a hundred miles away from the Netherworld.
The purpose of doing so is to prevent the underworld from expanding again, directly covering the heavens' barrier within it.
After all, the Heavenly Barriers were a treasure created jointly by the gods and the divine palaces. This treasure could extend infinitely, and in terms of rank, it had reached the level of half-step immortality.

At the same time, numerous formations are carved into the walls of the heavens. As long as one stands on the city wall, their cultivation base's recovery speed will be greatly enhanced.
That's not all.
The Heavenly Barrier is also engraved with a powerful seal formation that aims to lock down the entire void, cutting off the possibility of undead directly crossing over the Heavenly Barrier and forcefully entering the heavens.
With Shen Changqing's eyesight, he could tell that this seal formation was not low in rank and should be at the level of a Divine Sovereign.
An array is not bound by the rules of heaven. An array at the level of a god, wanting to break it is not so easy.
Although there are many dead spirits in the underworld, and if a large number of powerful underworld practitioners were to intervene, they could also break this formation, it is clear that one side of the heavens would not allow the underworld to act so recklessly.
Thus, with this formation in place, the necromantic army's incursion from other realms would be significantly hindered.
However.
This also gave Shen Changqing another doubt.
If the gods and celestial beings, as well as the shrines, can set up such a formidable sealing formation, why not directly deploy a more powerful formation to completely enshroud the entire underworld gate
>
This way, the undead will be forever trapped in the underworld.
After all, judging from the original information, the more celestial beings killed by the Death Reaper, the larger the Netherworld's domain will expand. Conversely, it will be very difficult for the Netherworld's domain to expand.
...Besides that.
If one could slaughter the undead on a large scale, it would even be possible to expand the celestial domains and compress the range of the Netherworld.
To put it plainly, the comparison of the two parties' void rules is actually reflected in the confrontation between living beings and undead beings.
If there were a powerful formation directly blocking the entire Netherworld Gate, even if the undead were incredibly powerful, it would be very difficult for them to enter the heavens.
Unless—
The shrine has no Array Master who can set up formations of rank three or higher.
Thinking of this, Shen Changqing couldn't help but be startled.
“If the Imperial Shrine doesn't have Array Masters of rank three or above, then the art of arrays would truly be in a state of serious decline!”
All thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing's mind in an instant, almost vanishing completely the moment they appeared.
At this time.
In the underworld, the defeated death spirit emperor stepped back into the celestial realm. His face was ferocious, and his divine sword burst forth with a soul-chilling edge, slashing directly at Shen Changqing.
Shen Changqing saw this scene, his expression remained unchanged.
"This is just the opportunity for you to witness firsthand the newly perfected Star River Sword Canon! Compared to before, how much more powerful do you think it has become"
And then he spoke.
Shen Changqing opened his mouth and spat out a sword qi, which slashed through the void like a rainbow. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an endless galaxy. The terrifying power of the sword qi collided with the divine sword, erupting in waves of destruction.
Just as the aftershock swept across, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in Shen Changqing's eyes. His azure-colored sleeves fluttered, and within them, sword qi solidified like substance, swirling like a long dragon.
The next moment.
The killing intent surged.
With two sleeves of azure robes flung out, two sword energies transformed into a celestial river of swords that surged from left and right towards the dead spirit emperor. At the same time, Shen Changqing took a step forward, his celestial sword within him manifesting. A sword imbued with ultimate sword intent seemed capable of piercing through time and space, aiming directly at the opponent's lifeline.
Shen Changqing's movements were extremely fast. From the moment the Death Spirit Emperor retaliated to when he struck, it was all within a single fleeting instant.
>
In an instant, the situation reversed. The Necromancer King was ensnared within the Sword Qi Milky Way, unable to extricate himself.
The latter's face changed drastically, the half-step Immortal treasure burst forth with a powerful wave, trying to shatter the Sword Qi Milky Way. But just as he made his move, the Heavenly Sword's sharpness had already broken through the defense and directly struck his chest.
The Twelve Divine Treasures' natal divine weapon, combined with Shen Changqing's current power, would even be able to withstand the true pinnacle of Divine Kings.
If the Netherworld Emperor was in his prime, he could still calmly face this sword. However, under the power of the myriad heavens, the opponent would be extremely difficult to resist.
"Boom—"
Its terrifying blade pierced through its chest, the momentum of the sword's glow shattering the void behind it for a million miles. Countless netherworld undead were slain along its path.
Unlike living beings, undead do not possess physical bodies like living creatures. They exist in a spiritual form, and therefore they do not bleed when injured.
But every inch of a spirit's body is part of its soul. If it is damaged, the soul will suffer severe trauma. The spirit also has its own vital points.
If one is directly obliterated by a powerful force, they will also perish instantly.
Now that the Soul Emperor's chest has been pierced by Shen Changqing, he is directly hit hard. The other party was already injured in a battle with the Heavenly Mandate God Emperor and now, after being hit again, his strength plummeted.
Seeing Shen Changqing charging, the Death Spirit Emperor felt a shadow of death rise in his heart. For a Death Spirit, if they were to fall again, it would be true annihilation.
So.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When he saw Shen Changqing charging, a wave of terror surged into his heart, causing the Nether Emperor to hesitate and retreat. He no longer entangled with Shen Changqing but fled towards the direction of the Nether Realm.
To him, as long as he could enter the Netherworld, he could regain his true imperial power. At that time, even a small god master would be something he could casually obliterate.
But within the celestial realms, the Lich King must admit that he was no match for Shen Changqing.
"Isn't it a bit late to leave now"
>
Seeing that the other party wanted to leave, Shen Changqing would certainly understand the Nether Emperor's intentions.
So as the Death Spirit Emperor retreated, Shen Changqing's sleeves fluttered, several sword qi crisscrossed the sky, blocking his path. Immediately, the Heavenly Sword slashed through the void, its power transforming into a nine-day galaxy cascading down. The vast and mighty sword intent turned the face of the Death Spirit Emperor once again.
"Boom—"
The divine sword slashed across, shattering the blade light, and the relentless force continued to crash into the Death Spirit Emperor's body, shaking it once more. His soul form had become considerably thinner.
Seeing himself outmatched, the Death Spirit Emperor narrowed his eyes and unleashed a burst of power within him. His speed surged dramatically, just as he was about to step into the Netherworld.
A cold light slashed through the void, and when it swept across his neck, even those who were about to step into the netherworld froze in their tracks.
The next moment.
>
The gigantic head fell from the neck, dissolving into black mist. But even with its head severed, the Deathly Emperor did not truly die.
From the neck where the head had been, black mist churned, and new heads were birthed. Then a terrifying sword intent crashed down from the void.
The yet-to-be-formed skull, and the rest of the torso, were utterly obliterated before this force.
With the fall of a Lich King, the heavens trembled, and the Netherrealm shrank visibly.
Meanwhile.
The Netherworld Gate trembled violently, with black raindrops falling from it.
The Netherworld.
Black rain fell from the sky.
The Great Way collapses.
The indescribable sorrow shook all the undead to their core. They looked towards the sky, where they saw the shattering of great cosmic rules, foretelling the fall of an emperor.
“The God Emperor has fallen!”
“Isn't it said that the heavens have fallen, and the Heavenly Palace is threatened by a powerful army of demons Why is there still power to slay us, the death spirit emperors!”
Damn it...
“Good...well killed...damn it...to dare defy the Dark Lord!”
One by one, the dead emperors gazed at the collapsing Dao, the crimson in their eyes becoming increasingly eerie. Some emperors wore expressions of anger, while others showed struggle. Sometimes they were strangely evil, other times their faces lit up with joy.
But not long after, two Death Spirit Emperors walked out from their seclusion and headed toward the Underworld Gate.
> On the other side.
In the vast expanse of the heavens.
