Chapter 524 - 525 Immortal? That’s all! [2nd Update]
*Is this Great Que a fake?* was the Sword Demon’s first thought, but he immediately dismissed it. I’ve used this sword for years. How could it be fake? The Great Que is supreme, peerless, and invincible! But if the Great Que isn’t fake... could this child’s fist truly be powerful enough to shatter it? The idea was utterly unbelievable to the Sword Demon.
"Take that!"
The Sword Demon dared to get distracted while fighting her? He was clearly looking down on *this lady*!
The little girl grew furious, her fists flying toward the Sword Demon one after another. With every blow that landed, the Sword Demon had to fight for his life just to resist. Still, her punches forced him back again and again. He was no match for her at all.
"Impossible!" he cried out as he was driven back again and again, unable to accept the reality of the situation. "I have roamed the Jianghu for over thirty years, slaying all my enemies and defeating every hero. There is no one left in the world to challenge me. Alas, I have spent my life seeking a worthy opponent but found none. This loneliness is truly unbearable! This is how my life should be! How did it turn into this?"
BOOM!
"You talk too much."
The little girl leaped up and threw a punch, instantly collapsing the Sword Demon’s nose. The Sword Demon was an absolute wreck.
"Why is this happening?" Even at this stage, the Sword Demon still screamed in disbelief. He couldn’t understand. He had trained bitterly for many years. After coming down from the mountain, he should have been like Dugu Qiubai. How could he possibly lose to a child?
"Shut up!" the little girl roared. She leaped up again and unleashed a punch imbued with the energies of wind and cloud. This strike was unstoppable. It instantly tore through the Sword Demon’s chest, leaving a massive, bloody hole.
"No... I... the Sword Demon of this generation... Dugu Qiubai... actually..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Sword Demon, Dugu Fa, suddenly exploded, so dead he couldn’t be any deader.
This scene left everyone utterly stunned. Whether they were on-site or watching the live broadcast, no one could believe what they were seeing. The renowned Sword Demon had died, just like that. He wasn’t killed by Wu Tian, but by a child. The Sword Demon’s strength had terrified the Dragon Country, yet he couldn’t defeat a little girl. The outcome was completely stunning.
"No... this is impossible." This thought echoed in many people’s minds.
This was especially true in the Forbidden City for the army general and soldiers who had submitted to the Sword Demon. Their eyes were wide with shock. They had never imagined a child could be powerful enough to beat the Sword Demon to death!
Then what about Wu Tian? How terrifying must he be?
The thought left their minds blank. It was all so inconceivable. They wondered if they had been out of their minds to have ever thought the Sword Demon was invincible and submitted to him. They failed to realize that in Wu Tian’s eyes, an existence like the Sword Demon was utterly insignificant.
They were terrified. They trembled, looking up at Wu Tian as if he were a Heavenly God.
Finally, Wu Tian’s gaze swept over them. Their legs trembled with fear, and they all prostrated on the ground, lowering their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Martial God... Lord Martial God, we know we were wrong! We are willing to submit!"
"Yes, we’ll submit! Please spare us!"
The soldiers’ faces were deathly pale, completely drained of color. They were filled with regret. Why had they ever thought of rebelling with the Sword Demon? Now they were scared to death, their souls nearly frightened from their bodies. Wu Tian’s existence was beyond any mortal foe; he simply wasn’t someone a human could resist.
The army general didn’t want to die either, but he felt it was improper to beg like the other soldiers. Instead, he kowtowed and said, "We are willing to serve as your loyal subjects and support you, Lord Martial God, in becoming the new Emperor!"
His words stunned everyone on the scene and those watching the live broadcast. The most nervous person there was the Lord of the Four Seas. If Wu Tian wanted the Monarch’s throne, what could he do? He was tense.
Among those watching the livestream, however, the most anxious were not the people of the Dragon Country, but Black Eight Horse. If Wu Tian became the Monarch of the Dragon Country, what would the United States of America do?
"...Do you think I would care about the mere position of Monarch?" Wu Tian said coldly. "If one sits well in that seat, they become a great Emperor for the ages, their name recorded in history. But if one does poorly, they become a foolish ruler, and it’s a given that their infamy will last for ten thousand years!"
"That’s right! Only a fool would want that seat. Dad, we don’t want it," the little girl said with a laugh.
Wu Tian nodded.
The Lord of the Four Seas felt personally attacked.
...
Black Eight Horse: ...
The Queen of Arthur Country: ...
The Monarch of Iron Wolf Country: ...
...
"You people deserve to die."
Wu Tian snorted. A Blood Glow shot out from his body, blanketing the sky as it swarmed toward the soldiers and the army general. The Blood Glow possessed its own consciousness. The life essence, knowledge, and everything else from those it killed would be absorbed by Wu Tian.
AHHH!
Instantly, piercing screams echoed throughout the Forbidden City. The soldiers fled in a chaotic rout, but it was useless. Body after body was hacked into a bloody pulp. Some tried to hide inside tanks, but that too was futile. The Blood Glow sliced the tanks and their occupants into several pieces. The screams in the Forbidden City went on and on.
The Sword Demon and his forces were annihilated overnight.
The name of the Martial God once again spread across the face of the Earth!
「Meanwhile, in the Abyss」
Xiang Lingtian and Fan Yisheng of the Evil Alliance had arrived in its depths. There, they saw the Five Villages Abbey!
"Five Villages Abbey," Fan Yisheng remarked with deep emotion. "In the myths, this was the abbey of Zhen Yuanzi, the leader of the Earth Immortals."
Xiang Lingtian was also thrilled. "Why do we call ourselves Immortal Seekers? Isn’t it to find the relics of Immortals? This could be it."
Fan Yisheng and the others nodded in agreement. They now felt they understood why Xiang Feixie had died. He must have discovered that a Great Sect had found this place and was subsequently silenced by them.
"This place belongs to us," Xiang Lingtian stated coldly.
Fan Yisheng and the others all nodded.
As they entered the Abyss, they were quickly discovered by the Lord with the World, the Lord with Heaven, and the Lord with the Earth. The trio was already troubled by the disappearance of the Spiritual Energy and did not welcome outsiders who were already claiming the place for themselves.
"Foolish mortals!" the Lord with the World, the Lord with Heaven, and the Lord with the Earth stepped forward, followed by a group of young Daoist apprentices.
"You call us mortals?" Xiang Lingtian and the others were taken aback.
"That’s right. I am a Saint!"
"So of course, we can call you mortals."
"Indeed!"
The Lord with Heaven, the Lord with the Earth, and the Lord with the World all spoke at once.
Xiang Lingtian was furious but hesitated to act, as he couldn’t gauge their true strength.
"Get out of here!" The Lord with the Earth had to investigate the mystery of the disappearing Spiritual Energy and had no time to deal with Xiang Lingtian’s group. He thrust his palms forward, and a surge of immortal power erupted. It was as brilliant as the earth itself exploding, like a Divine King manifest in the world! At a glance, this was clearly the power of an Immortal, not a technique of Cultivation.
The blast of immortal power shot violently toward Xiang Lingtian.
Xiang Lingtian was horrified. A direct hit from such formidable immortal power would mean certain death. With no way to dodge, he could only meet it head-on, raising his Overlord Spear to defend himself.
BOOM!
Yet, Xiang Lingtian managed to block it.
Strange... That attack looked invincible and unstoppable, so why am I completely unharmed after blocking it? It feels like... it wasn’t that powerful after all!
