Chapter 780 392: The Power of Seventeen Dragons
"An Emperor of All Time, buried in the Divine Tomb."
This is an ancient saying, telling the story of an emperor.
It is said that he was the most powerful emperor.
In this world, Martial World factions are divided. Even at the most powerful moment of the court, it is no more than a grand and formidable sect, far from unifying the world.
But once there was an emperor, he was not the first emperor, yet he was the most formidable and domineering ruler.
Not only did he firmly grasp imperial power, but he was also the pinnacle of martial force.
Even the legendary myths of the Martial World pale in comparison to this emperor.
He was undeniably the number one in the world. Even though the Martial World had many Heavenly Prides and Grandmasters, they could only bow their heads in submission before this emperor.
This was the peak moment of imperial power, when truly under the heavens, all land belonged to the king. Even the Martial World, which was a source of pride, could only breathe according to the emperor's whim.
Because he was too domineering, his rule over the Martial Arts was so cruel and bloody that later generations rarely mentioned him.
Anyway, when he is mentioned, the mighty Martial World seems like a dog with a broken spine, with no pride to speak of.
An emperor like this appears once in eternity.
The power and authority he held seemed to dominate eternity.
But after all, an emperor is human; that god-like emperor eventually died.
After the emperor's death, countless Martial World factions he had brutally suppressed wanted to find his tomb and corpse to fiercely whip.
When you were alive, no one dared offend you. Can't they deal with your corpse?
Or, perhaps, the people of the Martial World had other ideas.
The emperor possessed extraordinary power, his martial arts were considered supernatural; otherwise, he couldn't have easily overwhelmed the entire world. The Divine Skill he possessed likewise instilled yearning in countless people of the Martial World.
They were terribly suppressed by this emperor, some families saw nine generations wiped out, leaving just one sapling.
Or, perhaps, half a sapling because the emperor had the appetite to split people in half.
Yes, split the entire person in half, with even just one egg left.
The people of the Martial World loathed him, yet all aspired to become him.
But the tomb of this Emperor of All Time was never found, which led to the saying, "An Emperor of All Time, buried in the Divine Tomb."
How can man find the tomb of a deity?
However, the ancestors of the Gu Family once found the Divine Tomb.
How they entered the Divine Tomb was unclear even to the Gu Family ancestors, and they couldn't stay there too long nor take away anything.
Because reportedly, once anything was taken from the tomb, that emperor would come back to life, slaughtering everything.
The ancestor of the Gu Family entered the Divine Tomb and saw the emperor's coffin.
It was said to be an enormous bronze coffin, pulled by seventeen dragons.
Those seventeen dragons weren't crafted from copper and iron; according to the Gu Family ancestors, they were real dragons, though dead, pulling the coffin were dragon remains.
Even if dead for a long time, the body of a dragon does not rot, imposing a tremendous sense of pressure.
Also, it was in that Divine Tomb that the ancestor of the Gu Family saw the emperor's martial arts legacy.
It was a highly complex, vast, and supreme martial arts tome, described by the Gu Family ancestor as the "ultimate" martial arts.
Even though he thought himself to possess Extraordinary Wisdom and was unparalleled in martial talent, he could only glimpse a fraction of the secrets.
When he was forced to leave, he only comprehended the "Seventeen Dragon Power."
That was a cultivation technique extended from the "Seventeen Dragons Pulling Divine Coffin," one of the few treasures the Gu Family brought out from the Divine Tomb.
This is the secret of the Gu Family, known only to the heirs of the family.
Also passed down was the cultivation technique of Seventeen Dragon Power, which the Gu Family called "Ten Break Ancient Strength," but Ten Break Ancient Strength is not the entirety of this technique; Seventeen Dragon Power is.
Yet, the Gu Family was far from as powerful as before, later on, even the strongest Family Head might not be able to train the Ten Break Ancient Strength, let alone the more complete "Seventeen Dragon Power."
Only the Family Head of the Gu Family, who knows the secret, understands how invincible the Divine Skill recorded in that tomb is.
Even the "Seventeen Dragon Power" is just a glimpse the Gu Family ancestor caught from a fraction of the iceberg.
At this moment, Gu Dile, the most genius figure of the Gu Family in two hundred years, gambled his life to decisively unleash the "Seventeen Dragon Power!"
Because he encountered an extremely troublesome opponent, one that the Ten Break Ancient Strength couldn't defeat!
If Ten Break Ancient Strength isn't enough, then rely on this Seventeen Dragon Power!
Gu Dile roared with anger, seventeen lifeless Arhat bodies ejected from his body like cannonballs.
But they did not separate from Gu Dile; visibly, a muscle tendon grew from Gu Dile's body, connecting to these corpses.
Seventeen Dragon Power naturally relates to what the Gu Family ancestor saw, the seventeen dragons pulling the coffin.
To pull the emperor's dragon coffin!
At this moment, the seventeen Arhats seemed to be those seventeen dragons, pulling Gu Dile.
Gu Dile also felt like he was that unbeatable Emperor of All Time!
"Old Demon Duan, kneel!"
He burst forth from the ground, seventeen "dragons" followed him soaring, and his voice was incomparably domineering.
Duan Yun didn't kneel, but inside and outside Yishui City, others kneeled in droves.
Even the Martial Arts experts could only resist the urge to kneel for a moment before having no choice but to kneel.
The Seventeen Dragon Power of Gu Dile seemed to render the world as if the emperor returned, with a pressure so strong that even gods and ghosts had to kneel.
