Chapter 159: The Eldest Senior Brother of Falling Emperor Mountain (24) |
Beneath the heavenly tribulation, the difficulty of breaking through each realm had increased by more than double.
Watching Su Chen surrounded by waves of terrifying auras, Lin Changsheng's heart grew heavy. His Longevity Supreme Body bloomed with powerful law runes. Although not as dazzling as Su Chen's, which shook the entire Azure Nether Dao Domain, it was still extraordinary. He turned and prepared to cross the starry sky to support his father.
Long Qiu grabbed Lin Changsheng and shouted, "Have you gone mad? You want to defy your father's words? Your cultivation is still insufficient, and your Longevity Supreme Body has not reached great completion. Joining a battle of that level would be nothing but suicide!"
Long Qiu knew clearly that although Lin Changsheng's talent was extremely strong, he had been cultivated for too short a time. Encountering a Quasi-Emperor would almost certainly mean death. He did not want to watch Lin Changsheng throw his life away.
Lin Changsheng suppressed Long Qiu with one hand, causing the dragon to cry out, "Your father Nangong Chen bullies me, and now even you bully me! Let me go! Even if you're going, you should at least take me with you!"
A trace of apology appeared on Lin Changsheng's face. "Uncle Long, with your cultivation, you would die even faster than me… If Father and I both fall in battle, Falling Emperor Mountain may need to be left in your care in the future. You will have to shoulder the mission of preserving our mountain's legacy."
An endless wave of sorrow suddenly surged in Long Qiu's heart. He struggled desperately and roared with all his strength, "That old man died without taking me with him. That heartless Nangong Chen won't take me with him. Even you won't take me! Every single one of you from Falling Emperor Mountain is a bastard! A bunch of bastards!"
Lin Changsheng did not stop.
Before Lin Changsheng appeared, a beautiful woman with slightly graying temples at her hairline, yet still possessing unmatched grace and elegance.
Lin Wantang shook her head. "I am not here to stop you. I came to give you something."
Purple light swirled as the vast emperor might surged forth. A purple sword appeared, powerful enough to crush everything in its path.
The Purple Firmament Emperor Sword.
Lin Changsheng was stunned. This was the foundation of the Purple Firmament Dao Sect—the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword left behind by the Purple Firmament Great Emperor.
Lin Wantang said, "You also carry the bloodline of our Purple Firmament Lin Family within you. Do not disgrace the glory of this emperor sword."
Lin Changsheng suddenly felt his nose sting. He nodded, accepted the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword, and vanished into the starry sky.
Lin Wantang raised her head. The starry sky shone brilliantly.
"You must… return safely."
.....
In the direction of the Purple Firmament Dao Sect.
An old man with white hair and a feathered crown, whose presence commanded respect without anger, also looked up toward the starry sky.
"Nangong Chen… you are the number one figure of this era. Do not disappoint the expectations of our Purple Firmament Dao Sect!"
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Lin Yu murmured.
Although his own cultivation was ordinary, it was merely at the Saint King realm. However, the Purple Firmament Dao Sect lacked top experts in this era. It was, after all, an Emperor orthodoxy with an Emperor Weapon guarding it. It could have remained uninvolved.
Yet the blood of a former Great Emperor still flowed in Lin Yu's veins.
"As a descendant of a Great Emperor, how can I stand by and watch a Dark Turmoil erupt without doing anything? The Purple Firmament Emperor Sword would rather break in battle against a supreme than remain forever silent within my Purple Firmament Dao Sect, losing its edge and burying its dignity."
This was Lin Yu's will. It was also the will of the entire Purple Firmament Dao Sect!
In a distant sea of stars, countless ancient powerhouses lurked in the shadows, waiting for Su Chen to suffer heavy injuries during his Quasi-Emperor tribulation so they could deliver the final blow and tear him apart.
Just as these powerhouses were about to strike, a terrifying emperoremperoremperor pressure descended without warning, instantly slaying several forbidden zone experts who had been lying in wait.
"It's an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon! Someone has brought an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!"
The fully awakened Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon filled every living being with dread. Even Quasi-Emperors could be slain by it!
Lin Changsheng appeared in the starry sky holding the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword. The majestic emperor might pressed down upon the nine heavens, turning countless stars into dust beneath its power.
Everyone watched with deep wariness.
At that moment, a terrifying figure flew out from an ancient forbidden zone and faced the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon without the slightest fear.
"An Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, a great completion divine body, and a longevity body… Heaven is truly helping me!"
The man in golden battle armor chuckled. His aura was unparalleled, radiating terrifying battle intent that soared into the sky and tore through the universe. Lin Changsheng's expression changed drastically. "You are also a powerhouse who has hidden in the forbidden zones?"
Such vigorous qi and blood did not resemble the decayed vitality of typical forbidden zone beings at all. This was a Quasi-Emperor in near-peak condition, and an incredibly powerful one at that. How could such an existence have hidden in a forbidden zone?
The golden-armored man said, "This seat entered the forbidden zones only to grow stronger. I do not slaughter ordinary living beings. I only kill geniuses like you."
Lin Changsheng's expression turned grave. He activated the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword in his hand. Flawless emperor dao qi pierced through the sea of stars as he slashed out with a sword that seemed capable of slaying gods and exterminating demons.
The golden man neither dodged nor retreated. Lin Changsheng's sword struck his body. In the next instant, a fist light brimming with terrifying killing power appeared, aiming to obliterate Lin Changsheng.
"He… he took an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon strike head-on without dying, and he can even counterattack…"
Some forbidden zone beings hiding in the dark were stunned. What kind of monster was this? A mere Quasi-Emperor body had actually withstood an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!
Lin Changsheng's face turned deathly pale. Having used the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon multiple times, he had already exhausted all his reserves and could not fight back. There actually existed someone in this world who could resist an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon head-on—someone who was neither a supreme nor a Great Emperor!
At that moment, a familiar voice rang in Lin Changsheng's ear.
"Emperor Sword!"
Lin Changsheng did not hesitate. He released his grip on the emperor sword. The Purple Firmament Emperor Sword erupted with even more terrifying light, directly shattering the fist that suppressed everything.
In the next moment, a figure appeared and seized the emperor sword. It was Su Chen. Having survived the Quasi-Emperor tribulation, he had now become a Quasi-Emperor expert, holding the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword in his hand!
"Father!"
Joy flashed across Lin Changsheng's face.
Su Chen's expression, however, showed no trace of happiness.
The golden-armored man standing before them caused his gaze to narrow.
"Lin Zhan!"
Su Chen uttered the name, causing Lin Zhan to show a hint of surprise. "I didn't expect anyone in this era would still remember my name. Unfortunately, you possess a great completion divine body. You are a great tonic and must die. If you give up resistance, I might let the little fellow beside you live."
Killing intent surged in Su Chen's eyes. He was no fool. Giving up resistance would truly make him one.
Su Chen grabbed Lin Changsheng with one hand and shouted in a low voice, "Go!"
Lin Changsheng tried to struggle, but he was no match for Su Chen's strength. He was thrown into the void, where a terrifying force sealed him completely.
Lin Zhan smiled. "It seems you care a great deal about that little fellow… Unfortunately, you have made the wrong decision. I will kill you first, then kill that little fellow, find the orthodoxy you belong to, and destroy it as well."
Su Chen's face remained ice-cold. "If you can still be alive by then."
