Chapter 1194: Coincidentally, I also have a weapon which cannot be seen directly
The giant halberd emerged, and its material composition was unknown, with an overall deep blue hue. Although only about two yards long, it seemed as heavy as it could crush the universe. The halberd blade, cold and eerie, bore the marks of ancient history.
Some areas were still stained with blood and yet to be dried. These bloodstains were exceptionally vivid, with intertwining divine light, as if they were left by powerful beings who met their end beneath them. Even now, it exuded an overwhelming ferocity that shook the Eight Desolates.
This is the infamous weapon…
Qingming Immortal King, Kunxuan Immortal King, and others were horrified. The aura affected them, causing their physical bodies to ache, and they dared not approach too closely. They knew well the terror of King Ming’s weapon, which had claimed the lives of numerous Immortal Kings. Rumor had it that even a predecessor of the Immortal Realm was beheaded by this fearsome weapon.
King Ming had used this weapon to instill fear among many Immortal Kings in the foreign land. There were rumors that he was summoned by the ancestral figure of the foreign land’s imperial family, and this weapon played a crucial role in it. However, people were still waiting to learn the origin and history of this terrifying weapon.
While Qingming Immortal King, Kunxuan Immortal King, and others were still in shock, Gu Changge’s gaze focused on the giant halberd, his interest growing more intense.
So, this is the weapon…
King Ming didn’t know where he obtained this unparalleled weapon. When previous kings from the Immortal Realm attempted to deduce the origin of this weapon, they failed and even suffered a backlash.
Some Immortal Kings claimed to have seen it during the Forbidden Era, but these accounts became legends, recorded only in some ancient records. It was unclear if there was any connection.
“Once, an Immortal King tried to catalog the weapons of today’s Immortal Kings. This weapon stood out, surpa.s.sing many Immortal King weapons, and was hailed as the world-ending weapon.”
Jing Yuan’s voice trembled through the vast black sea separating him. He still felt uneasy, the aura surrounding the weapon affecting him, making his scalp tingle.
Battles between two Immortal Kings, even when determining victory or defeat, often took a long time, potentially thousands or tens of thousands of years. Yet,King Ming, with this weapon, could behead several Immortal Kings instantly, showcasing its terror.
“If you possess the replica of the forbidden bottle, then you should recognize this weapon of mine…”
King Ming’s voice echoed through the vast black sea, addressing Gu Changge.
His tone carried a strong sense of pride. During the Forbidden Epoch, he had yet to become an Immortal King. He was just a seeker of Dao-building expertise, marching alongside an otherworldly army, breaking into the crumbling Immortal Palace.
In those times, he had the fortune to witness the devastating strike of a divine lance. All realms perished with a single beam of light, and the immortal ages fell silent. No rules could withstand it; the grand Dao-building expert crumbled, and the heavens wailed in agony.
He stood shocked for a long time until he used all his strength to imprint a trace of that light into his mind. That trace shaped his present self, even aiding in achieving the Dao Fruit of an Immortal King.
After becoming an Immortal King, he spared no effort to recreate the ominous weapon he had witnessed. After numerous failures, he finally crafted this imitation. Although the model couldn’t compare to the original scene he had seen, it was sufficient. It allowed him to dominate among many Immortal Kings, leaving behind a terrifying reputation that everyone feared.
Hearing this, Immortal Kings like Qingming and Kunxuan were stunned, waves of shock and awe surging within them. Before this moment, they had never expected that the weapon wielded by King Ming had such origins. Even though it was only an imitation, it sent shivers down the spines of Immortal Kings.
What was more crucial was its connection to the Forbidden Epoch, much like the two divine flasks in the possession of Gu Changge – imitations of forbidden artifacts.
“I indeed recognize them,” Gu Changge said with a touch of amus.e.m.e.nt, smiling lightly. “However, who told you that the Grand Dao Flask in my hands is an imitation?”
Not an imitation?
King Ming, Kunxuan, and Qingming were all slightly stunned, frowning skeptically. How could it not be an imitation? How could it possess such vast power, capable of engulfing the heavens and earth, with nothing able to resist its devouring force? Even time and s.p.a.ce around it crumbled and dissipated.
If it’s not an imitation, then how did you obtain these two flasks?
“Who are you?”
Ming w.a.n.g furrowed his brows, and with a sudden motion, the immense lance slashed through the void and fell into his palm. Before this, he had seemed like an elderly figure, but suddenly, his aura changed. He appeared as a millennia-old harbinger of death, his killing intent piercing the heavens, seemingly about to tear the universe apart.
Countless denizens from the foreign land all knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of King Ming, their reverence reaching the utmost limit. Immortal Kings like Kunxuan and Qingming retreated from the vicinity, wary of being swept away by the residual force of King Ming’s actions. Even they held a deep fear of this ominous weapon, fearing the repercussions.
“Imitation?”
Gu Changge responded with a faint smile, choosing not to explain.
The next moment, the two Grand Dao Flasks suspended in the void shattered with a crisp sound, transforming into a vast black sea that surged toward the universe.
This was a sea of black Grand Dao runes, akin to a bursting river, erupting with an unimaginable terror. All star systems trembled as if struck by a dreadful energy that couldn’t be resisted. Many powerful True Immortals trembled and prostrated within it, their souls seemingly torn apart, let alone ordinary beings.
An imitation?
Gu Changge smiled lightly, not offering any explanation.
The next moment, the two suspended Grand Dao Flasks in the high void cracked with a sound, breaking apart and transforming into a vast black ocean that surged toward the universe.
All starry fields trembled as if struck by a formidable energy, unable to withstand it. Many highly-cultivated True Immortals trembled and knelt within it, their souls seemingly on the verge of tearing apart, not to mention ordinary beings.
This is not a weapon, just Grand Dao runes?
King Ming, Kunxuan, Qingming, and others reacted instantly, their faces changing dramatically. They could see that it was a flask composed of Grand Dao runes, not the weapon they initially believed it to be.
From the beginning, they had misunderstood this profound art as a weapon.
After realizing this, their expressions changed tremendously, shifting from shock to disbelief.
Especially King Ming, who had just wielded a strike potent enough to tear the universe apart. Still, he found it difficult to break through that black sea. They were told that this Grand Dao Flask was not a crafted imitation, which bewildered them.
“Impossible. How did you do it? Could it be that you’ve truly come into contact with that object…”
King Ming’s expression changed rapidly, suddenly realizing a particular possibility, his eyes filled with intense excitement.
For him, the most urgent thing he wanted to do was come into contact with the forbidden object, observe its true meaning, and make his depiction more realistic. If Gu Changge had touched that object and gained insights, refining this Grand Dao Flask through his profound art wouldn’t have been surprising.
“I did indeed come into contact with it,” Gu Changge continued with a light smile. “And coincidentally, I also possess a weapon that bears a striking resemblance to the one in your hands.”
What?
King Ming was momentarily stunned, and before he could react, his eyes suddenly widened with astonishment and disbelief.
Boom!
A monstrous aura of hostility permeated the surroundings as a dark and chilling large lance appeared in Gu Changge’s palm.
Gu Changge pointed diagonally towards the southern sky, lightly swiped, and the lance blade hummed, causing the Grand Dao-building expert to crumble. The vast sky seemed to split open like fragile paper, emitting a crisp sound, revealing an immense crack that stretched endlessly, seemingly leading to the boundless outer heavens.
This light hum shattered through the ages, ruptured the heavens, and cut across the cosmos and the river of time. Any traces of patterns and Dao laws were annulled by this gentle hum, reduced to dust.
King Ming stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with shock, disbelief, and an extreme sense of fear. How could this be possible?
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the era of the Forbidden Epoch when a beam of light cut through the myriad worlds, exhibiting grandeur and terror, annihilating everything and breaking through all.
This…this…this…
His voice trembled, and he was shivering in fear, unable to believe what he witnessed. How could it be?
At this moment, he vividly remembered the lance light that crossed the heavens and myriad worlds during the Forbidden Epoch, displaying the same grandeur and terror, annihilating all and breaking through everything.
You say…is the weapon in my hand also an imitation?
Gu Changge, though smiling lightly, emanated an icy indifference from deep within. His eyes displayed neither emotion nor fluctuation.
It’s unexpectedly similar to King Ming’s weapon.
This…what on earth is happening?
Qingming, Kunxuan, and the others were still trying to grasp the situation. They stared intently at the Eight Wilderness Demonic Lance in Gu Changge’s hand, attempting to discern its secrets.
However, as their gazes fell upon it, they were met with a cold and chilling lance light that seemed to descend from the frigid depths of the universe, threatening to shatter their souls on the spot.
Puff…
Kunxuan and Qingming were instantly hit hard, coughing up blood. Their gazes were filled with astonishment and dread, their voices trembling involuntarily.
This…it’s something…something that cannot be…cannot be directly observed…
