Chapter 77: Killing The Great Emperor |
That was a vertical eye that looked like a divine rune.
The eye slowly opened to reveal a cold and unfeeling pupil. As if it did not have any emotion at all.
In that instant, everything changed dramatically.
In the nine levels of heaven, the clouds billowed violently. The sea of lightning began to swallow up the skies and divine might wiped out paths.
It was as though the apocalypse had arrived. The Heavenly Dao was furious and murderous intent rained down on the world.
Gu Changqing’s body began to float and seemed to almost disappear.
As though he was merging with the universe, as though the true might of the Heavenly Dao was being added to his body. Countless laws surrounded him as though he was a true god of the Heavenly Dao, an indestructible being that had existed from the beginning of time!
Boom!
And when that vertical eye opened completely, a terrifying golden beam measuring 10,000 meters wide that could penetrate anything in its way shot out.
The river of time was pierced and murderous qi covered and swept away everything like a tsunami.
In that instant, every living creature in all of Beixuan Continent felt their hearts drop and their hair stood on end.
It was as though the wrath of the Heavenly Dao was going to wipe out the whole world!
Even the pupils of the Golden Crow Great Emperor constricted suddenly. Clear terror could be seen in those eyes!
Boom!
The golden beam hit the sharp claws of the three-legged golden crown, then suddenly exploded.
The shockwaves of the explosion covered thousands and thousands of miles. Galaxies were shattered, lands were halved, spacetime crumbled. Chaotic qi rose by a million meters!
The gigantic body of the golden crow was flung back violently.
Like a kite whose string had suddenly been cut.
Blood dyed the skies as the Golden Crow Great Emperor vomited blood into the void!
In the heavens, countless laws were like a wave as they came together to form Gu Changqing’s body once more.
His body seemed ethereal as his eyes spewed countless laws. They were cold and unfeeling as terrifying Dao laws burst and spurted around him.
He was like the ancestor of Daoists as his black hair and clothes flew wildly in the air, his imperial might as terrifying as a tsunami that drowned the world.
“Bell, come to me!”
A faraway roar suddenly resounded and threatened to burst eardrums, as though the Heavenly Dao’s wrath was incurred and it was determined to kill every last living creature.
“Send the Golden Crow Great Emperor to his death!”
The Heaven Burying Bell broke through the void and destroyed myriad paths in its way.
It glimmered with a divine brightness and endless divine runes flew as it gathered all the powers of all elements, ready to bury everything it touched!
Clang!
An explosive ring resounded.
That was the sound of the Heaven Burying Bell landing.
After that hit, the Golden Crow Great Emperor’s suddenly began to break apart. Just before he died, he let out one last roar, “How dare you!”
He was left with just a small remnant of his soul, yet he sounded as ferocious as ever.
After all, every Great Emperor of ancient times were revered for a good reason. They stood above thousands of universes, their brilliance reaching millions of miles. So even though on the brink of death, they still commanded a presence!
“Die!”
Gu Changqing glanced downward and countless laws filled the skies before blasting that last remnant of the golden crow’s soul to pieces.
Imperial might dissipated and the universe shook. The fall of a Great Emperor made the whole world shudder in fear!
…
Outside the mirror, the entire place fell silent. Both Great Emperors and Quasi-Emperors were silent.
A very, very long time passed.
Finally, a trembling, tiny voice broke the silence, “So…the Golden Crow Great Emperor…died just like that?”
Even though the truth was right in front of their eyes, they still found it hard to believe.
That was a Great Emperor!
“The only one in all of history that could kill a Great Emperor while still at Quasi-Emperor has to be the Heavenly Emperor.”
After that comment was made, the cultivators fell silent for a very long time again.
Even Ye Chen’s gaze had dimmed significantly.
Despair!
He was filled with much despair!
He had been proud of how incomparably powerful he was all his life, yet when compared to the Heavenly Emperor, not only did his ability to cultivate seem pathetic, even his fighting prowess looked pathetic now!
So what if one was as powerful as a Great Emperor? The Heavenly Emperor was still able to kill you anyway!
“That vertical eye on the Heavenly Emperor’s forehead. What divine technique was that?” a cultivator finally asked after a long time.
Everyone could see that the vertical eye was the thing that had decided the result of this battle.
The golden beam that had shot out of it earlier on had been simply too terrifying. Even the Great Emperors outside the mirror felt like they were about to stop breathing when they saw it.
“That’s probably the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.”
A Supreme spoke up, “I’ve seen it before in that very old book. When one cultivates the Heavenly Dao to a very high level, you can gather the Eye of Heavenly Punishment within your own body, which will gather the will of the Heavenly Dao and spray out a murderous aura that can destroy all things!”
Everyone fell silent yet again.
After some time, someone suddenly made a remark out of nowhere, “When he was at Quasi-Emperor, he could already kill a Great Emperor, someone a full realm above himself. So, how powerful would he become once he reaches Great Emperor?”
This remark made everyone subconsciously furrow their brows.
Everyone knew how terrifyingly powerful the Heavenly Emperor was.
And they knew because later on, the Heavenly Emperor never needed to fight like that even when he was faced with Great Emperors.
Or rather, there was no Great Emperor who could even hold off one move from the Heavenly Emperor.
That’s why even though the Justice Alliance had gathered several Great Emperors together, they had still chosen to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Emperor.
After all, they were supposed to be the good guys. If they had a choice, they wouldn’t have chosen to launch a sneak attack on this monster that could annihilate the entire world.
…
With the fall of this Great Emperor, the skies cried blood. So did the Heavenly Dao.
This strange phenomenon was seen across the entire Beixuan Continent. Countless living creatures mourned and were moved to tears.
But Gu Changqing remained unmoved.
He was filled with grief, but it was for the little fox.
He fixed his eyes on the lava within Tanggu.
After the death of the Golden Crow Great Emperor, the sea of lava began drying up rapidly. Even the divine tree rooted in the sea of lava started wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several things suddenly flew out of the palace that had the word “Fusang” written on it.
It was ten little golden crows.
They also had three legs and were also covered in flames, but compared to the Golden Crow Great Emperor, they were barely worth anything.
It was obvious that these were the descendants of the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
Gu Changqing’s gaze frosted over as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Boundless murderous intent was released.
The next moment, several explosions could be heard.
The ten golden crows turned into clouds of blood and flesh.
But Gu Changqing’s gaze remained as distant as ever.
“The little fox lost her entire family, so I will make sure that the Golden Crows shall have no descendants too.”
“I don’t think I’m being unfair, right?” murmured Gu Changqing to himself.
Just as he was about to fly toward the palace to see if there were any other golden crows left.
At that point.
Two women emerged from the palace.
