Chapter 729 - 697 He’s Finally Dead!
Although Emperor Gu Xing was certain of his advantage over Huang Yi, after the previous exchanges, he no longer dared to underestimate Huang Yi and didn’t rush to attack, choosing instead to wait patiently for a while.
Huang Yi didn’t recklessly rush in either. He was now at an absolute disadvantage; although Emperor Gu Xing’s Health Points were only at 1%, being within his domain range meant that 1% could withstand a long time.
The field quieted down, creating an eerie atmosphere of silence.
Time passed by every minute and second, and neither of them made a move, as if it was the calm before the storm. The audience could seemingly only hear their own hearts thumping.
Gradually, Huang Yi’s demonizing skill came to an end! The black smoke surrounding him suddenly dissipated, his attacks were no longer of the demonic attributes, but returned to normal, and his combat power decreased somewhat.
Shortly after, his "Blood Slaughter" also ended! The Health Points he lost would no longer be doubled on Emperor Gu Xing, causing another decrease in his combat power!
Then, his body trembled and he transformed from the Giant Beast shape back to his human form! The Racial Ultimate Skill, Colossal Beast Transformation, also ended, reducing all his Attributes to half their original values, causing his combat power to plummet once again!
The duration of these skills was too short; they simply couldn’t last very long.
Now, Huang Yi only had "Attribute Borrowing" and "Demon God Fusion" skills still active, the former lasting for an hour and the latter for one battle. Little Dragon and Barbarian God were still fused with him, but they were far from being a match for Emperor Gu Xing.
"You’re smart not to rush up and attack me, or else you would already be dead!" Just then, Emperor Gu Xing glanced at Huang Yi and nodded slightly. With a flip of his hand, he took out another Magic Bottle! It contained a thick golden gas, surging up and down, extremely eerie.
"Another potion!" The audiences around the world despaired once again!
Miyamoto Musashi’s potions seemed endless, and no one knew just how many potions he had prepared for Emperor Gu Xing!
However, when Huang Yi saw the potion in Emperor Gu Xing’s hand, he did not show fear but revealed a very strange expression, extremely astonished!
"God of Slaughter, I shall let you die with understanding!" declared Emperor Gu Xing, raising the Magic Bottle in his hand and smiling. "This is the last potion I have! This potion is not concocted by Miyamoto Musashi, but one he acquired long ago on a trip to the Central Continent. He told me to treasure it and not to use it lightly, because he cannot concoct it. But now, I have decided to use it on you! You should feel honored!"
With that, he crushed the Magic Bottle, and the golden gas was abruptly inhaled into his body!
In an instant, he was completely at ease, as if his life was fully secured, unafraid of Huang Yi’s attacks!
His caution was at its peak at this moment, ensuring his own absolute safety before daring to make a move!
This bizarre potion was called Holy Domain Reflective Injury Potion, which could fully reflect any proactive attacks from Holy Domain Warriors for some time.
Now, Huang Yi was no longer able to attack Emperor Gu Xing, as any attack would be akin to harming himself!
It could be said that he now had no skills capable of killing Emperor Gu Xing!
"Alright! Let me end this all! I will make you understand that you are not invincible!" Emperor Gu Xing, feeling utterly unassailable, finally dared to attack Huang Yi confidently!
A glimmer of golden light suddenly shone from his hand, brighter and brighter, as if a sun was born from his palm with terrifying power within!
At this moment, even the light of the sun, moon, and stars was completely overshadowed as the sphere of light became the only light between heaven and earth!
Time seemed to transform from night to day, with stars and the moon vanishing as a sun rose slowly from Emperor Gu Xing’s hand, spreading sunlight all over the land!
Audiences around the world were fixated on this scene, not daring to blink, lest they miss any detail!
Reporters ceased their commentary, fearing their voices might disrupt this attack!
Qin Shiyu, Thunder God, and others had their hearts suspended at the highest point, tightly clasping their hands as if to transfer their own strength to Huang Yi!
This was the final attack of the great battle, where victory or defeat would be decided!
Finally, the light in Emperor Gu Xing’s hands reached its peak, and his arm thrust forward violently, the ball of light streaking a golden trail, slamming viciously towards Huang Yi!
At that moment, Huang Yi’s expression was peaceful, as if welcoming death. After several outbursts, he had completely exhausted his combat power and now had no skills capable of effectively resisting Emperor Gu Xing.
He had his hands behind his back, not even lifting his weapon to block, completely giving up resistance and allowing the ball of light to strike him.
"Boom!" The next moment, it exploded like the big bang of the universe on Huang Yi, erupting violently and sweeping everything away!
The nearby buildings were reduced to dust under the impact, as if they had evaporated out of thin air!
This attack was so powerful that it was daunting to behold, with only a vast expanse of white light remaining in the sky, too bright for people to open their eyes!
But everyone still forced their eyes open, staring intently into the night sky!
"Thud!" They heard a dull sound, the sound of a body hitting the ground, the sound of flesh and blood harshly crashing onto the earth, signifying the end of the battle!
It was all over!
A person was dead!
The crowd hurriedly looked toward the source of the sound!
Soon, they saw a corpse!
The body was clad in a golden Dragon Robe and donning the Purple Gold Crown, unmistakably—Emperor Gu Xing!
Emperor Gu Xing was dead!
In that instant, everyone around the world was shocked!
The person who died was not Huang Yi, but Emperor Gu Xing!
"You are wrong, I am still unbeaten!" It was then that Huang Yi’s familiar voice came from the high skies!
The crowd quickly looked up, the blanket of white light had already dissipated, and there stood Huang Yi in the sky, looking down at the corpse of Emperor Gu Xing on the ground.
The turbulent airflow made his hair flutter back, his cloak rustled loudly, and the giant Bright Moon seemed to have become a screen, serving as his backdrop, setting off his lofty silhouette!
At this moment, he seemed to be the King of the World, unstoppable by anyone!
The hands that Huang Yi kept behind him slowly moved to the front, and he opened his palm!
In that palm lay an unremarkable storage ring.
That was Man Tian’s storage ring!
The reason Huang Yi could defeat Emperor Gu Xing was because of this storage ring! To be precise, it was because of the treasures inside this storage ring.
For Huang Yi had unlatched the seal on Man Tian’s storage ring and could now use the items inside!
Man Tian was a noble expert of the Heavenly Domain, and his storage ring contained a plethora of treasures, including a Level 163 Demon Core.
The Central Continent was the core force resisting The Seven Archdemons, having slain countless members of the Demon Clan over the years, so getting a Demon Core was not unusual.
Just now, when Huang Yi saw Emperor Gu Xing’s level drop to 194, the reason for his elation was because of this Level 163 Demon Core.
This Demon Core would allow him to level up to 164, and with the use of his Level Up skill, he could reach Level 224, surpassing Emperor Gu Xing by 30 levels, and ignoring any of his opponent’s attacks!
Not only that, but in Man Tian’s storage ring, there was also a potion known as the Holy Domain Reflective Injury Potion, remarkably identical to the last potion Emperor Gu Xing used!
Huang Yi’s strange look of astonishment upon seeing that potion was because Man Tian’s storage ring happened to contain this potion as well!
Miyamoto Musashi’s Holy Domain Reflective Injury Potion was obtained in the Central Continent, and since Man Tian was a Heavenly Domain Expert from the Central Continent, getting one naturally wasn’t difficult!
Moreover, Man Tian originally had the even more potent Heavenly Domain Reflective Injury Potion, but he had used it during the battle that preceded his death, leaving only some Holy Domain Rank reflective injury potions in his ring.
Huang Yi had placed his hand behind his back, apparently giving up on resisting, but in truth, he had quietly taken out that Holy Domain Reflective Injury Potion.
When Emperor Gu Xing’s attack was about to hit him, Huang Yi instantly crushed the Magic Bottle, absorbed the potion’s power, and for a short duration, reflected the attacks of any Holy Domain Warrior!
Emperor Gu Xing’s attack hit Huang Yi but did not cause him any damage; instead, it was completely reflected back!
Emperor Gu Xing only had 1% of his Health Points left, and after receiving the powerful reflective damage from that attack, he could not withstand it and was instakilled on the spot!
Thus, the spectacle just now took place: Huang Yi emerged unscathed, while Emperor Gu Xing became a corpse.
Actually, this kind of injury reflection potion is easy to dodge. After suffering from the initial reflection damage, one can simply stop attacking and wait for the potion’s effect to wear off before continuing the battle.
Huang Yi had been holding back all along, not using the potion until the critical moment, when he unleashed it to instantly kill Emperor Gu Xing with the reflective damage!
Thereby, Huang Yi eliminated the last enemy in Northern Sea City!
The once unmatchable Emperor Gu Xing was resolved by him!
The invincible helper that Miyamoto Musashi summoned at the expense of a massive amount of Guild Contribution Points had died like this!
Now, there’s not a single person left in Northern Sea City who can stand against Huang Yi, be they players or NPCs; he can trample over them all at will!
Once again, Huang Yi is unbeaten!
...
At the very top floor of the City Hall.
"Emperor Gu Xing was actually killed!" Starry Sky’s face was ashen, he took two steps back, and murmured.
Miyamoto Musashi and Heavenly Ghost Messenger were looking out the window in silence.
The bustling city outside the window now seemed to have nothing to do with them; they had lost all their Guardians. The city appeared to have become Huang Yi’s, where he could do whatever he wished without any restraint. Instead, it was the members of the Martial Arts Guild who had to hide from him.
After a long while, Miyamoto Musashi took a deep breath, as if mustering all his strength, he said with difficulty, "No choice, we have to resort to the final strategy!"

The following text will not be charged:
There is only one final Chapter left in this national war, and I will finish it today. Miyamoto Musashi’s final move, the fate of God of Slaughter, and the outcome of the national war will all be concluded within one Chapter.
Also, some people are still asking me on QQ why there are no new updates; I’m updating every day.
Once again I say! This book was first serialized on "Qi*Dian*Zhong*Wen*Wang" and a few other cooperating websites, where new Chapters are updated daily without any breaks.
Other websites are pirated versions, and the lack of updates there is not due to me stopping updates. The pirated sites might only have the first few tenths of thousands of characters, while the original sites might have already been updated with millions of characters, so please read the authentic version, which is updated every day with new Chapters.
Thank you!
