Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 593 592 Sacred Domain

"Your actions, sir, are far too extreme."

The blond girl did not become angry because of Gao Wen's death; her gaze towards Qin Heng remained cold and clear, like stars hanging high in the sky. She said, "Using a phrase from the Land of the Gods, it is 'extreme rigidity invites breakage.'"

RUMBLE!!

Even though the blond girl did not display her might, as she spoke, the sea of Heavenly Essence within a dozen or so kilometers around suddenly churned like boiling water!!

In the heavens and earth, colorful lights appeared, like rainbows strung across the sky. Amidst these encircling rainbows, one could seemingly glimpse a garden far removed from the mortal world. In the garden's center stood a tower, so tall it reached into the sky!

It was as if another world had descended—incredibly real, immensely substantial, and incomparably powerful!!

"A Saintly phenomenon! A Saintly phenomenon!!"

Wang Lingguan nearly leaped to his feet, staring at these layered phenomena in utter horror. He turned his gaze to the blond girl and shouted, "King Arthur, do you and the Knights of the Round Table truly intend to start a war?"

A phenomenon forged by a Saint is not merely a spectacle; it is a terrifying field integrated with the laws of heaven and earth, possessing inscrutable might!

It is even called the "Sacred Domain"!!

Once the Sacred Domain unfolds, within its enveloped range, the Heavenly Essence becomes suffused with the Saint's power, making it seem like the Saint's own force. In such a state, the Saint becomes incredibly powerful, practically crushing all non-Saintly beings!

As for ordinary people within the Sacred Domain, regardless of their numbers, their life and death rest solely on the Saint's whim. Even Martial Artists suffer immense suppression, their power reduced to less than a tenth of its original strength!

"Arthur harbors no intention of waging war against the Myth or this Land of the Gods." The blond girl shook her head, and the phenomena in the heavens and earth immediately dispersed. She continued, "I am not physically in your location. I must rely on the power of the Sacred Domain to open the void, so please, do not take offense."

She seemed very polite. Her gaze flowed as she looked again at Qin Heng, saying, "I come with no ill intentions this time, only hoping that you would spare Gao Wenqing. His transgressions will be judged by the Round Table, and you will not be disappointed."

Spare Gao Wen? How can he be spared now??

He Xiangu, Wang Lingguan, and Xia Shuang were all stunned, looking at the headless corpse under Qin Heng's foot. With its head already crushed, how could it possibly be spared??

But at that very moment, the headless corpse of Gao Wen suddenly moved! His arms spread, and his hands fiercely pressed against the ground, surprisingly propping up his body!

Then, he stood up!!!

Blood still spurted from Gao Wen's neck, dyeing his golden armor red, as he walked towards the Wheel of Victory sword that had fallen to the side!!

Ominous!

Terrifying!

Utterly unbelievable!!

"He's coming back to life?!?!"

"Wh-what is happening??"

Xia Shuang and the others were dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were witnessing!

It was the first time they had ever seen a headless body move. Could it be that this Knight of the Round Table from England was actually some kind of zombie?? How could that be!!

"No wonder it is said that under the sun, the platinum Knight is indestructible," Qin Heng remarked calmly, watching Gao Wen's headless corpse pick up the Wheel of Victory sword once again. He chuckled lightly. "The method of spirit-binding... such a renowned Knight of the Round Table, hailed as the guardian of Excalibur, turns out to be a Wraith? Could it be that the current Gao Wen is the same true Gao Wen from a thousand years ago?"

A Wraith is a type of undead being in the Western Transcendent system, usually a Magician whose lifespan is nearing its end and who uses this method to extend their life.

Through certain special Transcendent materials and a particular ritual, they transform their body into the long-lived form of a Wraith, simultaneously splitting off their soul's origin and storing it within a phylactery!

As long as the phylactery remains undestroyed, the Wraith will never perish!

However, normal Wraiths exude a dense aura of death. Gao Wen's body, on the other hand, only emanated the rich radiance of the Sun God. This was clearly because he had somehow integrated with the Sun God stone from the Wheel of Victory sword.

Therefore, unlike normal Wraiths, Gao Wen's deathly aura was supplanted by the Sun God's radiance, and he too attained a long life. A Wraith's lifespan can reach up to three thousand years, more than enough to have lived from over a thousand years ago until now!

HUM!

At that moment, the void trembled lightly. Yuan Qi stirred and converged towards Gao Wen. Then, a sun-like, dazzling light flashed across his bleeding neck, and a head grew out!!

"You're right. I am indeed a Wraith, transformed from a noble Holy Knight into a filthy Wraith in order to remain in the mortal realm," Gao Wen turned his head towards Qin Heng and sneered. "But so what? I am still alive, while most of my contemporaries have turned to dust. In the face of survival, all dignity and conviction are meaningless!!"

"King Arthur, is such a person worthy of your rescue?"

Qin Heng looked towards the blond girl displayed within the golden light screen and said indifferently, "He is no longer of the Human Clan and even needs to consume human flesh and blood to survive. Do you still wish to save him?"

The longevity of a Wraith does not come without a price. Consuming one living person under thirty years old each year is the most basic requirement. And if one wishes to wield powerful forces, then they must consume even more!!

A Wraith who has lived for over a thousand years has devoured more than a thousand people at the very least!!

"England needs strong individuals like Gao Wen. This land is about to face drastic changes, and you dignitaries from the Land of the Gods are well aware of this, so I needn't elaborate."

The blond girl's jade-green eyes twinkled. She lightly bit her red lip and then said in a deep voice, "Moreover, he truly guarded and respected me like a guardian king, like my own brother. Sir, could you perhaps spare him? His sins will be judged by the Round Table, and I will do my utmost to compensate for your losses, ensuring your satisfaction. As the old saying from the Land of the Gods goes, 'Harmony brings wealth; let us discuss this amicably.'"

Her proficiency in the Chinese language was not very good; she had even used the idiom incorrectly, but her meaning and tone were sincere.

"Qin Xuantian, what are you hesitating for?" Gao Wen interjected, holding the Wheel of Victory sword. He looked at Qin Heng, the corners of his mouth lifting into a slight sneer. "Do you really think the King is wary of you? She's merely being polite by negotiating! My King is in Tianhai right now; she could arrive in Beijing in an instant. Do you think you can withstand the might of a Saint? Your strength may be great, and your Ancient Sword sharp, but in the presence of a Saint, all of it is utterly useless! Qin Xuantian, I advise you not to overestimate yourself. Let me go quickly, lest you suffer utter ruin. By then, it will be too late for regrets!!"
