Chapter 1193: Are you asking me to support you? Imitation of taboo
Glistening radiance flows there, accompanied by a rich Dao fragrance. For an ordinary cultivator, merely catching a whiff might lead to transcending into an immortal.
This unparalleled fragrance brings comfort to every pore, inducing a profound transformation of one’s spirit. No immortal treasure can compare to this supreme aroma, achievable only through the alchemy of the Immortal King’s Dao Fruit.
Despite the world’s extravagance, even true immortals were left dumbfounded, trembling in place with weakened legs at the mere sniff of it.
The crystal-clear form of the Fallen True Beast, about the size of a palm, condenses there like a divine fruit. However, as Gu Changge leisurely consumes it, it gradually becomes fragmented.
The Fallen True Beast Immortal King retains some consciousness, witnessing its consumption. Unprecedented terror envelops it and emits a desperate cry, yearning for rescue from Immortal Kings such as Qingming and Kunxuan that were consumed by extreme regret.
However, the Great Dao Treasure Vessel hovers in the vast sky, releasing a black ocean and isolating the other three kings from this Foreign land.
Despite the silent scream echoing as if piercing through their very souls, causing everyone to shudder uncontrollably.
As a semi-immortal king, Jin Yuan’s scalp felt like it was about to explode. We were witnessing this scene up close, which chills him to the core.
Gu Changge, with his refined features and an appearance untouched by worldly affairs, clad in a simple green silk robe, looks almost immortal. His flawless expression was enough to make every woman in the world jealous.
Yet, now he devours Immortal Kings indifferently, as if savoring a simple delicacy with a touch of elegance.
For all the foreign beings in the Western Immortal Domain, this scene shatters their sanity, almost unbelievable.
It’s too horrifying as if something that should only exist in the oldest nightmares.
Release the Fallen True Beast Immortal King…
Beyond the surging black sea, the awakened Immortal Kings, Kunxuan and Qingming, suppress their internal fear and strike again.
A horrifying energy surge attempts to rupture the heavens, breaking through the isolation to reach Gu Changge.
They can’t forget Gu Changge’s earlier words—don’t rush; it’s their turn next. Were they being hunted by an Immortal King as a source of nourishment?
The hearts of the three kings turn cold. Encountering someone like Gu Changge was a first for them; indeed, it was a terrifying and malevolent ent.i.ty.
Even the rumored enigmatic tribes in the Original World couldn’t evoke such fear and dread in them as Immortal Kings.
The profound shudder emanating from the depths of their souls feels like encountering a natural nemesis.
I’ve told you, don’t be impatient; take it one at a time; no one can escape, Gu Changge maintains his composure, glancing at them casually.
This was the only benefit he had found in the Immortal Realm since his arrival. There are many Immortal Kings, both here and in the foreign lands.
For him, whether they were true immortals or Immortal Kings, they are all, at this stage, the most suitable source of nourishment.
Kunxuan, noticing Gu Changge’s expression, feels a shadow over his heart and says solemnly, “To break this imitation of his, we can only wait for the arrival of Senior King Ming. Otherwise, the Fallen True Beast Immortal King will undoubtedly perish today.”
They can see that the essence of the Fallen True Chong Immortal King was rapidly dissipating, certain areas becoming fragmented and blurry. For an Immortal King to be casually swallowed by someone was an unimaginable humiliation.
However, there probably were few in the world who would believe this to be true.
Boom!
A dazzling golden light bursts forth at this moment, surging like a vast sea before the Ancient City.
The Fallen True Beast Immortal King roars, seeming to regain some strength, realizing its chances of survival today are slim. It understands it’s better to burn its essence, fight back against Gu Changge, and have a slight chance of survival.
Its essence quickly ignites, too brilliant, illuminating the entire sky thoroughly. Behind it, a ma.s.sive True Beast appears, towering like a golden mountain, bearing the imprint of its ancient ancestor embedded in its essence.
At this moment, the True Beast’s fur shines like golden flames, radiating incomparable power from its entire body. Gradually merging with the True Beast that Gu Changge was consuming, the formidable ancient ancestor that once awed the heavens had returned to the mortal realm!
Boom!
It exerts all its strength, a claw swiping forward, instantly tearing through the sky, its colossal form and divine power seemingly invincible, reminiscent of the era of G.o.ds and demons.
However, Gu Changge remains unfazed, a faint ripple appearing around him. When the claw was about to strike, a terrifying secret force spreads, as if countless strands of immortal light transform into a blade, directly descending and, with a splattering sound, severing the claw.
Gu Changge then raised his palm, and a Grand Dao Treasure Vessel reappeared. Enveloped in wisps of dark energy, it instantly swallows the ancient ancestor’s phantom.
Throughout this, not a single fold appears in his robe.
“What a pity, burning it like this had wasted quite a bit of essence,” Gu Changge remarks, his gaze deep and tranquil.
Looks like I’ll have to delve deeper into the foreign lands and kill a few more Immortal Kings; otherwise, I won’t be able to make up for this loss.
However, the Fallen True Beast Immortal King was in despair, and even burning its soul won’t harm Gu Changge. It doesn’t even know what method Gu Changge used; it was so powerful that it left it hopeless, with no means of resistance.
Why are there two Forbidden Bottles…
Where did he get so many replicas?
From a distance, Kunxuan, Qingming, and the others are shocked by the reappearance of the Grand Dao Treasure Vessel. They are astounded to witness Gu Changge summon not just one but another vessel, instantly devouring the Fallen True Beast Immortal King’s final means of defense. This leaves them in awe and disbelief.
Boom!
However, at that moment, from beyond several star fields, in front of the Western Gate, a terrifying spear light suddenly descends, as if slashing through immortal ages, profound and eerie, carrying an overwhelmingly murderous intent.
The stars in the heavens flicker, and the entire universe seems to groan, nearly shattered by this horrifying spear light. This strike reverberates through the cosmos as if nothing else exists but this one attack.
SeniorKing Ming has taken action…
Excellent!
Worthy of Senior King Ming, just this strike is beyond our reach, we simply cannot compare.
Kunxuan, Qingming, and the others recognize this attack. Their faces, previously filled with shock, now reveal an undisguised excitement and a lingering fear of surviving a calamity.
As Immortal Kings, their deep respect for King Ming was mainly due to his history of openly slaying more than one Immortal King, displaying unparalleled strength.
King Ming’s lineage was ancient, existing since the Forbidden Era, and he even led the charge against the Immortal Palace alongside the foreign forces after the collapse of the celestial realms.
King Ming once witnessed unimaginable scenes and gained insights from them. Seeing King Ming take action brings relief to them, soothing their troubled hearts after the immense pressure imposed by Gu Changge.
Hmm?
Gu Changge, who intends to refine the Fallen True Chong Immortal King ultimately, raises an eyebrow in surprise, sensing something familiar. Soon, his face reveals an intrigued expression.
It’s… it’s Kiing Ming…
“He actually showed up. There was another king hiding in the shadows, and it turns out to be King Ming.”
Jin Yuan speaks in shock, deeply aware of King Ming’s terror. Even the Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm are fearful when mentioning King Ming.
Subsequently, afraid that Gu Changge may not understand, he explains, “My lord, you may not know. Ming w.a.n.g was a notorious figure from the foreign lands, having killed several Immortal Kings of the same land. His existence spans countless years, dating back to the Forbidden Era, and his strength was immeasurable. What’s most terrifying was that he possesses a formidable weapon. It was said that with that weapon, he beheaded numerous Immortal Kings, displaying overwhelming power. He even received an audience from the supreme beings of the foreign lands…”
King Ming’s name was widely known among the inhabitants of the foreign lands. Immortal Kings of the same kingdom fear him. Even the lord of the Southern Immortal Domain, the current master Moon King, would be uneasy when mentioning King Ming.
King Ming?
Gu Changge nods slightly but pays no attention to the spear light descending. Instead, he devours the remaining essence of the Fallen True Beast Immortal King.
Boom!
The terrifying spear light finally strikes the vast black sea, creating an endless tidal wave of energy that obliterates the surrounding star fields. However, the void above, where the Grand Dao Treasure Vessel hovers, was enveloped in a waterfall-like expanse of dark mist, forming a black energy ocean.
This black energy ocean completely isolates the two sides. Despite the efforts of Kunxuan, Qingming, and others attacking for a long time, they cannot break through.
Witnessing the unsuccessful attempt to shatter the black sea, Kunxuan, Qingming, and the others show shock, doubting their own eyes. However, they quickly come to their senses and respectfully address the approaching figure.
Respect to Senior King Ming…
A figure clad in a black robe, appearing somewhat hunched, emerges. His face was obscured by mist, making it indistinct. Yet, a terrifying aura pervades the surroundings, causing the very fabric of the Dao to resonate. This black sea, isolated from the surroundings, doesn’t seem to be able to bear the weight of this s.p.a.ce.
No need for excessive courtesy…
He waved his hand, and the ancient, h.o.a.ry voice was calm. King Ming had appeared, looking incredibly aged, but no one dared to underestimate him. The recent strike was not to be taken lightly by any Immortal King.
Is that a replica of the forbidden object?
No wonder it possesses such immense divine power, devouring everything, impervious to all. It managed to withstand my attack; that’s understandable.
King Ming stares at the Grand Dao Treasure Vessel suspended in the void, his gaze showing a hint of gravity, soon replaced by enthusiasm.
With Ming w.a.n.g’s appearance, the collision of Dao in the western Immortal Domain intensifies, even more terrifying than the previous scene. Universes collide one after another, seemingly on the brink of collapse due to his arrival.
One by one, foreign inhabitants who recognize him devoutly kneel, bowing repeatedly in utmost reverence. Even those foreign beings who were terrified by the swallowing of the Fallen True Beast Immortal King’s essence before the Ancient City now chant King Ming’s name.
All descendants of the western Immortal Domain feel fear due to King Ming’s arrival. Though they hadn’t seen him, the rumors of this figure from ancient scriptures had instilled terror.
Gu Changge was also a.s.sessing King Ming, estimating his strength. If Kunxuan, Qingming, and others could be considered early-stage Immortal Kings, then King Ming’s cultivation level should be in the middle to late stages.
For him to evoke such fear, it’s not just his cultivation level that plays a role; there’s something more profound.
“You had a replica of the forbidden object. I presume you’ve seen the genuine article?”
King Ming speaks, his gaze penetrating the vast black sea, fixed on Gu Changge. Seeing the floating Grand Dao Treasure Vessel by his side, his eyes reveal a burning light, piercing and imposing.
King Ming was not concerned about Gu Changge killing the Fallen True Beast Immortal King and absorbing its essence. His primary focus was on the two Grand Dao Treasure Vessels.
In his eyes, Gu Changge having two replicas of the forbidden object indicates he had seen the genuine article and refined it through various methods, much like King Ming himself.
As King Ming speaks, the intense black sea doesn’t seem to bother him. His gaze penetrates it, reaching Gu Changge.
This bottle indeed resembles the forbidden object mentioned in ancient records. It has a significant connection with the forbidden existence that brought the Forbidden Era, destroyed the Immortal Palace, and shattered the heavens… He might be a figure from the Forbidden Era, witnessing that battle, reincarnating and appearing in this era.
Kunxuan, the Immortal King, also speaks, his gaze fixated on the Grand Dao Treasure Vessel.
Only having heard about it in ancient records, Gu Changge didn’t expect to have a day where he’d come into contact with it. The mere replica possessed unimaginable power, almost destroying his paG.o.da. As he listened to their words, Gu Changge’s interest grew.
With a faint smile, he asked, “What were you trying to tell me with all this? Were you suggesting that you had a keen eye for talent, or perhaps some discernment?”
King Ming wasn’t bothered by Gu Changge’s disdainful and casual tone. Standing beneath the sky, his ancient voice echoed, “Friend, there’s no need for hostility. We can coexist peacefully.”
In Ming w.a.n.g’s eyes, the demise of the Fallen True Beast Immortal King was not worth paying attention to. Moreover, he believed that Gu Changge’s appearance at this moment and his intervention against the Immortal Kings from the foreign domain might be an attempt to make them withdraw and return the territories to the western Immortal Domain.
For King Ming, such matters were quickly resolved with a few commands.
Oh? Peaceful coexistence?
Gu Changge’s smile remained casual and indifferent.
What’s the plan for peaceful coexistence? Keep you alive so that you can provide a satisfying meal when I need it by letting me devour you. Or something else?
Seeing no inclination from Gu Changge to engage in peaceful discussion, King Ming’s expression turned serious.
He stated, “Friend, don’t think that by killing the Fallen True Beast Immortal King, you are invincible. Since you possess a replica of the forbidden object, you should recognize my weapon.”
Boom!
As he spoke, he coldly snorted, and with a wave of his sleeve, a terrifying aura shot up as if tearing through the universe. A giant battle-axe emerged, releasing an atmosphere that made even Immortal Kings shudder.
Kunxuan, Qingming, and others couldn’t help but pale, feeling their bodies tingling, on the verge of collapse, unable to bear the pressure.
And this was just the aura emanating from the weapon, which had absorbed the blood of many Immortal Kings and slaughtered their true spirits. It was a genuinely peerless weapon.
