Chapter 2043
2043 The Battle at the Imperial Palace, Chu Kuangren’s Backup, Slap It
The battle at the Imperial Palace continued and showed signs of escalating.
It was the new generation elites versus ancient times elites, and both sides were somehow evenly matched.
All kinds of Immortal Techniques and divine abilities were thrown at each other.
Gu Linglong might not have a high cultivation base, but having an overwhelming number of treasures allowed her to become a force to be reckoned with.
“Great Heaven Tower, go!”
Gu Linglong summoned one of the ten Great Godly Weapons and hurled it at Master Mosquito.
The intense power from the tower forced a bitter look on Master Mosquito’s face.
He channeled his Daoist law energy to the limit and shot a blood-colored light beam at it.
Bang!
Both the tower and Master Mosquito were pushed back.
However, that was not the end of it.
More treasures flew out from Gu Linglong’s sleeves. Every single one of them was the best weapon that ever existed.
They were the Ten Great Godly Weapons!
Chu Kuangren had given all of them to Gu Linglong.
After twenty thousand years of cultivation, Gu Linglong could control all ten Great Godly Weapons together using her power.
The divine light from the weapons shone across the battlefield, and the power of the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation swept across the realm.
Master Mosquito was trapped and could not free himself at the moment.
“I can’t believe she has so many treasures with her!” Master Mosquito’s expression shifted.
Even though he was a vicious wild beast from ancient times, he felt threatened by the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation.
“Blood Devouring Technique!” Master Mosquito roared, channeling his most powerful attack.
Empire cultivators and Demonic Dao cultivators who got too close to him were detonated, and their blood was absorbed into his body.
He absorbed everyone around him regardless of whether they were his enemies or comrades!
As he absorbed a large amount of blood qi, his aura rose, and blood-colored rays started to disperse around him.
The blood-colored rays and the Great Godly Weapons’ energy collided.
At that moment, Endless Sky Imperial Commander, who was fighting Lan Yu, spotted the situation with Master Mosquito. He secretly channeled his technique and shot his energy into the Great Heavenly Tower, which was used in the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation.
The Great Heavenly Tower trembled before it flew out of Gu Linglong’s control.
The Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation was disrupted!
“Don’t forget that I’m the tower’s original owner!” Endless Sky Imperial Commander chuckled.
Even though the tower was in someone else’s control, he had a way to affect it.
Right after the Universal Godly Weapons’ Ten Directions Formation was disrupted, the blood-colored ray was headed for Gu Linglong. Fortunately, the dress she wore shone brightly and blocked the attack.
The dress was something that rivaled the Ten Great Godly Weapons.
“You have a lot of treasures with you, but let’s see how well you can use them,” Master Mosquito said as he summoned a crimson longsword.
The sword looked strange.
He forged the sword using his arthropod mouthparts, which granted it a blood-absorbing effect.
It was as good as Underworld River Forefather’s Yuan Tu and Avici.
“Die!”
Bloody sword qi was fired at Gu Linglong.
Even though Gu Linglong had a plethora of treasures at her disposal, she fell short against Master Mosquito, who was using his full strength.
The sword qi soon pushed her into a disadvantageous position.
Elder Ruyan tried to help but was blasted away.
“Die, woman!” Master Mosquito cackled viciously.
As he thrust his crimson sword forward, the blade shone in red as if leaving a cut on the realm.
It was so powerful that it could consume the realm.
“No! Sister Linglong!”
Lan Yu and the others were shocked.
…
Further away, on a mystical island, there was a palace.
A man in green robes was sitting on a praying mat with his legs crossed.
The man had sharp facial features, white hair, and a beard.
There was a faint sword qi circulating him.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes and muttered, “Luo Hou, Master Mosquito, your biggest mistake is that you underestimate this era.”
Further away, in another palace high up in the sky, a white-robed elderly sat with his legs crossed.
He, too, looked in the direction of the empire and chuckled. “You people really think the empire he founded is that easy to destroy? Do you really think he didn’t leave any backup plan behind?”
In the academy, a young man riding a green cow was reading a book. A faint Yin-Yang qi was intertwining around him, forming a vague Yin-Yang symbol.
He also looked in the direction of the imperial palace and chuckled. “Luo Hou, you better be prepared for the biggest anomaly since the start of time.”
Not only the Three Clarities but all the other ancient beings started to feel their eyelids twitching as if something was coming.
…
Back at the Imperial Palace, Master Mosquito continued to thrust his sword forward.
The blood ray from the blade carried unrivaled power, and it was aimed at Gu Linglong.
If he managed to stab her, no matter how many treasures she possessed, she would be injured.
Then, Immortal Sparks burst out from Gu Linglong.
A terrifying Immortal’s Core power flooded the space like a tidal wave and shattered the crimson sword ray in an instant.
“What? How?” Master Mosquito’s expression changed.
Gu Linglong could not be that strong.
What happened?
The sudden turn of events surprised the entire battlefield.
Stunned, everyone made them stop fighting.
Gu Linglong, who was forced into a disadvantageous position, suddenly stood tall with her hands behind her back and her dress fluttering in the wind. It felt like she was a different person.
She had a frosty and regal look on her face.
She then twirled the sword in her hand and unleashed an endless sword aura that blanketed the entire battlefield in an instant.
The realm suddenly dimmed in comparison to her presence.
“This aura… The King!”
Shang Honghua was delighted when she identified the aura.
The others were similarly surprised, but some of them were baffled.
Why would Gu Linglong release an aura similar to Chu Kuangren’s?
“How dare you invade the empire! How audacious,” Gu Linglong said.
Her tone was drastically different from before. It sounded solemn.
The arrogance she had while wielding the sword made it feel like Chu Kuangren had arrived on the battlefield himself.
“It’s the Immortal King, Chu Kuangren!”
Luo Hou’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Gu Linglong, or rather, Chu Kuangren.
Gu Linglong was no longer herself. Chu Kuangren’s consciousness had taken over her body.
As a matter of fact, Chu Kuangren used the Great Destiny Technique to see the empire’s future many years ago and saw that invasion while he was away.
He did not know the precise details, but he set up multiple backup plans to counter the invasion.
One of them would be leaving a sliver of his Immortal Consciousness and power in Gu Linglong, which would be activated when she was in danger.
“I don’t care if you are Gu Linglong or Chu Kuangren. You’ll have to die!”
Master Mosquito raised his sword and shot another sword ray at Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren barely reacted.
He raised his left hand, not the sword, and said, “It’s just a mosquito. All I have to do is slap it.”
As he waved his left hand, boundless Immortal’s Core energy gathered, and when combined with the Daoist law, it transformed into a massive palm.
The palm was as big as the sky, crashing down on Master Mosquito.
The slap slammed Master Mosquito to the ground and shook the entire continent.
When the palm seal disappeared, the shape of the palm was imprinted on the ground. In the center of the palm-shaped crater, Master Daoist was covered in blood and had lost all signs of life.
The Dao in his body had been obliterated.
Just like that, the vicious ancient wild beast was slammed to his death!
