“Crack!”

The jade on his chest shattered.

Ancestor Dongfang’s heart was filled with shock.

The attack of the Six Harmonies Mirror was finally blocked by him.

But the price of blocking it was too great. He had used an extraordinary Dao Talisman that could withstand any attack from an Integration Perfection without being shattered no matter what means were used.

More crucially, the jade on his chest, which was also a treasured object.

It was his last line of defense, forming a shield that could withstand the full-force attack of a second-tier decline celestial being without being shattered.

But the jade was unexpectedly shattered now!

His heart was bleeding.

“Puff”

But soon, it was not just his heart that was bleeding.

His inner energy was surging, his True Origin became incredibly chaotic, he could no longer hold it in, and he coughed out a breath.

With this strike, Ancestor Dongfang was evidently injured.

Indeed, if it weren’t for Qin Changqing not wanting to expose all of his strength prematurely, Ancestor Dongfang dare to compete with Qin Changqing like this. Even if he used his trump card in the end, he would likely still be blown up directly by Qin Changqing.

“Ancestor Dongfang was beaten until he spits blood!”

Ancestor Dongfang’s blood didn’t escape the gaze of many cultivators.

Seeing Ancestor Dongfang beaten by Qin Changqing until he spat blood, many cultivators couldn’t help but look at Qin Changqing with shock.

Some cultivators didn’t know that Ancestor Dongfang had already broken through to the second-tier decline celestial being.

But as a legendary figure, Ancestor Dongfang, who had ridden the momentum of Qin Changqing in recent years, was well known to many cultivators.

His breakthrough to the third-tier decline celestial being and his current crossing of the second decline were public knowledge.

After crossing through the first decline, one officially becomes a capable person of the Tribulation Passing Stage.

In the entire Cultivation Realm, the number of people who reached the Tribulation Passing Stage could be counted on one hand.

The number of Tribulation Passers in a Holy Land is limited, fewer ones even only have a few.

After all, the cultivators in the stages of Combine Body and Void Refinement can avoid heavenly tribulations by hibernation. But the Tribulation Passing Stage is a one-way street with no turning back once embarked upon.

A Holy Land that has a long history, and an existence time of hundreds of thousands of years, might have several dozen, or even hundreds of hibernating Combine Body powerhouses to offer.

But those who are at the tribulation stage are scarce.

The maximum passing time of the Five Declines of Heaven-Man’s tribulation is just over fifty thousand years. If you pass, you become a Mahayana Stage, if not, then you are stricken off from existence.

Therefore, even though the Dongfang Family had no one in the Combine Body Stage before, they still had Dongfang Fu, a powerhouse who had passed through the first decline, which was half a Holy Land.

Yet such a powerful Tribulation Passing Stage practitioner was beaten until he spat blood by Qin Changqing with a single strike!

It’s likely that Ancestor Dongfang has already broken through to the second-tier decline celestial being.

This shocked many of the cultivators.

While these cultivators weren’t entirely certain of Ancestor Dongfang’s realm, some were still guessing at his strength.

But on the floating islands where many Holy Lands were located, the presences at the lord-tier were different.

The moment Ancestor Dongfang used his full strength to attack, these lords already knew that Ancestor Dongfang had already crossed the second-tier decline celestial being.

As for Qin Changqing’s aura, they were even less certain.

Because when Qin Changqing made his move, he deliberately did some concealing, and they couldn’t accurately sense it.

With Qin Changqing’s current strength, facing a fifth-tier decline celestial being, as long as he doesn’t wish to, and doesn’t reveal his full aura or go full force, the other party won’t be able to perceive him.

There were many lords present this time, but Qin Changqing hadn’t seen any fourth-tier decline celestial beings among them yet.

It doesn’t mean there weren’t any, because the other party does not reveal their aura, Qin Changqing also couldn’t confirm it.

But certainly not many.

Once one passed the fourth-tier decline celestial being, there is only one more decline away from becoming a Mahayana.

At this point, what matters most to these cultivators was crossing through the last decline.

Even for the Ascension Ceremony, unless the Other Party happened to be in the calm period or in the early stage of the fifth decline, the Other Party would not necessarily mobilize.

There might be a possibility that they appear, but only to take a look at the ceremony.

In conclusion, among the ten Holy Lands plus the Ji Family together, fourth-tier decline celestial beings are likely to be only in single digits.

These fourth-tier decline celestial beings, in general, are reluctant to make a move.

The fifth decline is terrifying, it’s ‘heart decline’, even the slightest emotional fluctuation can increase the difficulty to overcome the decline kalpa.

Although these lords were not certain of Qin Changqing’s realm, Qin Changqing’s strength of defeating Ancestor Dongfang with one blow was already evident.

“Could he have crossed the third-tier decline celestial being?”

Thunder Sword Master’s eyes brightened.

On the floating island of the Qin Family, Master Fengtian and Yunyan Master’s eyes also lit up.

While there are disparities in the strength of those who crossed the tribulation, the gap is not as huge as those below the tribulation crossing stage.

After all, those who could cross through one decline, except for those with exceptionally good luck, how can they be weak?

Ancestor Dongfang was also a first-grade spiritual root genius. In his younger years, he was famous all over the world and made many cultivators revere him at the sound of his name.

Now, he had crossed through two declines.

He had many trump cards and tactics.

Even if Qin Changqing’s strength significantly surpasses his in the same level, it’s extremely difficult to break through Ancestor Dongfang’s various measures with a single strike like he did now and make him spit blood before draining all his trump cards.

“My husband is so powerful!”

Lv Qiu muttered.

Not far away, a look of surprise emerged in Su Xiaoxiao’s beautiful eyes.

She suddenly realized that the growth of Qin Changqing’s strength over these hundreds of years… might be even more astonishing than she had imagined.

This made Su Xiaoxiao further aware of Qin Changqing’s extraordinary talent.

“Husband, this is not enough!”

Su Xiaoxiao said in a voice that only she could hear.

Beside her, the True Martial Saintess gave her a fierce glare.

Over the years, the True Martial Saintess had also been working on Su Xiaoxiao, hoping to get Su Xiaoxiao to reveal details about the Demon Saint Palace.

But the True Martial Saintess also knew that if Su Xiaoxiao really revealed information… she would reveal it too.

Although Su Xiaoxiao is now a third-tier decline celestial being, her Divine Soul was branded due to the desire for rapid growth in the past.

As for the True Martial Saintess, there was no problem in her Divine Soul, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to infiltrate the True Martial Holy Land.

As for Tao Yao, a faint smile appeared on her face.

At present, the only one who knew Qin Changqing’s realm was Tao Yao. Even the Sect Leader didn’t know it because she had just left the retreat, and Qin Changqing didn’t show off deliberately.

Previously, when Qin Changqing was weaker than her, he flaunted his strength many times before the Sect Leader. But now that the Sect Leader had become his wife, Qin Changqing naturally didn’t need to go out of his way to show off.

His strength was enough to protect himself and the people he loved.

Not just them, the saintess from the Celestial Temple also had her beautiful eyes light up. “Ru’er, can’t you see it? With Qin Changqing’s strength, being your husband is more than enough.”

In another family comparable to the Dongfang Family, the Tribulation Passing Stage family leader was once again persuading his daughter.

“Father, there’s no need to say more, I will marry!”

Seeing her father babbling on, the woman finally spoke up.

“Hahaha, good, Ru’er, you will thank your father in the future.”

Her father was overjoyed.
