Chapter 146: Long Aotian"s Template; Ant, Ant, ANT!
[Boom!]
Just when everyone looked at Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong’s tiny gestures in shock and admiration, the mountains and ruins in front of them exploded and spread dust and ash in every direction.
"What audacity…"
A roar with icy killing intent resonated in the surroundings.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying figure surrounded by golden runes appeared.
At that moment, Long Teng’s figure radiated powerful Qi and Vitality that covered the sky and everything in his surroundings in a terrifying sea of blood.
It was as if a King had descended upon the world and spread chaos in all directions.
At the same time, Long Teng revealed his Cultivation Base of a Pinnacle False G.o.d Realm master without holding back.
He held unparalleled strength, but his current appearance…many cultivators felt strange looking at the scene in front of them.
Even the creatures of the Ancient Immortal Continent couldn’t help but turn their heads away; after all, just a moment ago, they watched their mighty Lord Long Teng get stomped under someone’s feet.
The strong, indifferent, and domineering appearance he put on before was ruined within moments.
"Gu Changge, how dare you sneak an attack on me! You are courting death!"
Long Teng spoke with an icy tone.
He was enraged beyond measure.
He never expected that Gu Changge would suddenly pop out of nowhere and curbstomp him like that.
Long Teng was embarra.s.sed and aggrieved, and those feelings only added to his rage. Never before had he felt so much murderous intent and desire to slaughter someone!
Gu Changge showed no change in his expression when he looked at Long Teng’s furious, cold eyes, and made it seem as if he had stomped a n.o.body, and not a well-known figure.
Right now, he stared at Long Teng with a calm gaze, and muttered to himself, "It seems that I guessed it correctly, and you are based on the Long Aotian template! Alas! That template is even more ancient than the waste making a comeback trope."
"Coming across you was a surprise."
Although Gu Changge muttered that, no surprise could be seen on his face.
Right then, a System Prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Long Teng, the Favored Son of Heaven, has appeared and triggered the following choices:
Slaughter Long Teng!
Reward: 3000 Fortune Value | 15000 Destiny Points
Note: Additional rewards will be calculated separately.
Conquer Long Teng!
Reward: 3000 Fortune Value | 15000 Destiny Points
Note: Additional rewards will be calculated separately.]
The rewards were the same for both choices, so Gu Changge chose the first one without even thinking.
Why would he want to conquer a brain-dead trash who didn’t know the immensity of the Heavens? It would be a waste of time.
What’s more? This Long Teng even had the guts to covet what he shouldn’t have coveted, so Gu Changge felt that slaughtering him would be letting him off easy.
The second choice was never a possibility.
Having said that, Long Teng had 4000 points of Fortune Value, and that reminded Gu Changge of the [Fortune Plundering Cards] in his a.r.s.enal that were acc.u.mulating dust since he never used them.
They cost around 5000 a piece in the System Shop, but he didn’t think it would be a waste to use one on Long Teng.
Once the plunder succeeds, he will directly clear the Favored Son of Heaven’s Fortune Points and trigger the System’s reward feature for killing a Favored Run after depriving them of all their Fortune.
Maybe, this Long Teng could bring him some good stuff.
In Gu Changge’s eyes, Long Teng didn’t have the qualifications to be a leek — at most, he could be considered an experience-dropping monster.
Unlike Ye Ling, who had a brain and knew what to do and what not to do at times, this fearless Long Teng had no redeemable qualities and thought of himself as correct no matter what he did.
Well, it was understandable. After all, if everything went according to the plot, then Long Teng would only come across foes weaker than him, so it was normal for him to despise and look down on everyone.
Where could he meet a final boss-level character like Gu Changge if everything went according to plot?
"Gu Changge, what do you mean by that?"
Long Teng couldn’t understand what Gu Changge was talking about, but he knew that Gu Changge held a contemptuous and indifferent att.i.tude towards him, and that multiplied his rage and killing intent.
After all, he had never met someone like Gu Changge who dared to insult and ignore him since the moment he was born.
"It means that you are a r.e.t.a.r.d, r.e.t.a.r.d."
Gu Changge didn’t restrain himself when it came to bullying others, and bullying came to him naturally — even the swearing words sounded extremely natural when spoken by him.
Almost all the cultivators felt as if he was merely stating facts.
All the young creatures of the Ancient Immortal Continent, however, were stunned. First, he humiliated him, and then he called him a r.e.t.a.r.d! What clawed at their hearts was the fact that they couldn’t refute his words.
That Gu Changge was strong, very strong, at least, he was stronger than Long Teng.
What the creatures from the Continent saw today shocked them to their core, and they couldn’t find words to speak for a while.
‘Is this guy h.e.l.l-bent on p.i.s.sing off Long Teng?’
Gu Xian’er was shocked just like the rest of the crowd, and didn’t know what to say as she watched Gu Changge’s familiar figure.
She had thought that Gu Changge wouldn’t waste any time and directly one-shot Long Teng to death, yet he started to kick him when he was down, and even called him a r.e.t.a.r.d with extreme calm!
‘Still, it does match Gu Changge’s temperament! His tongue is as poisonous as ever, filling his opponent with hatred right after he uses it…’
Gu Xian’er realized that she was in a similar situation as Long Teng every time she argued with Gu Changge, and could feel her liver hurt.
"Gu Changge, what did you say…"
Long Teng’s expression froze, and he was momentarily stunned by Gu Changge’s words.
He had never encountered something like this before.
Rubbing salt on his wound was Gu Changge’s self-satisfied expression that filled him with hatred.
[Rub! Rub! Rub!]
Long Teng’s rage soared to new heights.
His eyes turned ice-cold and his complexion turned a burning crimson as mist rose from all over his body, and divine runes loomed around his figure.
His terrifying, cold aura rose sharply.
"Didn’t I tell you to stand still and get killed? What’s the hurry? You sure are disobedient."
Gu Changge said with a calm and sincere tone, together with a playful gaze.
It was as if he felt helpless looking at Long Teng, who was courting death.
He stood in the Void with his hands behind his back as a hazy immortal aura and charm flowed around his figure and accentuated the beauty of his moon-white coat that seemed to be embroidered with innumerable stars.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Gu Changge looked even more arrogant and powerful than Long Teng from a while ago.
"Come here! Bring the gift this Young Master prepared for Long Teng."
As Gu Changge spoke, his followers stepped forward and blood splattered around in all directions as dazzling sword lights filled the air.
"Lord Long Teng, help us!"
"Lord Long Teng, save us! We don’t want to die…"
A large group of aboriginal creatures of the Ancient Immortal Continent shouted with frightened and pale expressions. Right now, all of them had their Cultivation Bases sealed, and were nothing more than fish on a chopping block.
They hoped that Long Teng, who was in front of them, could save them.
After all, they went to look for Gu Changge’s trail under Long Teng’s command, and were Long Teng’s subordinates.
Alas! Instead of them finding Gu Changge, Gu Changge found them and came knocking at their door.
[Puff!]
However, before Long Teng could utter anything, sword lights fell one after another and a strong smell of blood filled the surroundings.
All the cultivators and creatures watching the scene felt chills go down their spines.
They felt fear, not because they were weak, but because the scene in front of them was far too ruthless. One word, and so many creatures were put to death without hesitation!
Compared to Long Teng’s domineering actions, Gu Changge’s methods were far too ruthless and strong.
"Slaughter them all, including that dragon-horned chick."
The faint smile on Gu Changge’s face finally subsided as he gave an indifferent command.
Without waiting for a response from Long Teng, the color of whose face visibly changed in front of him, he made a move.
[Boom!]
Gu Changge’s figure moved and he took the initiative to launch an offensive. His sleeves fluttered and the Void in front of him blurred as a terrifying and vast suction force appeared out of nowhere.
A ma.s.sive hand stuck out with brilliant splendid and made the world around it dim.
"Ancient Immortal Gu Family’s [Universe-Devouring Sleeve]!"
Many Young Supremes showed a change in their expressions; they recognized Gu Changge’s ability, but the ability Gu Changge showed right now was far more terrifying than the [Universe-Devouring Sleeve] they were familiar with.
It was qualitatively different from what they knew.
"Gu Changge’s Cultivation Base seems to have broken through to the False G.o.d Realm! Judging from his overwhelming aura, I am afraid his real Cultivation Base is far more terrifying than what we see…"
"He’s unfathomable! It’s hard to match him."
Even the top-ten Young Masters of the Ancient Immortal Continent showed solemn and fearful expressions.
As soon as a true master made a move, the onlookers would know their terror.
Gu Changge was definitely an enemy who struck fear in their hearts!
Just now, they had thought that he only got the upper hand because he sneak attacked, but now…it seems that he was merely humiliating Long Teng.
"Since you dare to attack me first, I will make sure to slaughter you today!"
Long Teng’s expression suddenly changed and he was about to make a move to save the creatures, but Gu Changge’s sudden attack shattered his plans.
[Boom!]
He also made a move and released the overwhelming might of the Pinnacle False G.o.d Realm, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar.
A mighty divine light converged into golden dragon claws covering a radius of nearly a thousand miles. At the same time, golden runes merged together into a golden spear with a terrifying and indestructible edge.
"No matter how presumptuous you are today, it won’t change the fact that you will die at my hands."
"Even if Heaven and Earth perish and the era ends, Long Teng"s name will be remembered for an eternity!"
Right then, Long Teng regained his indifferent and domineering appearance, and his voice thundered throughout Heaven and Earth.
He wasn"t using any Mystical Art, yet his voice still hurt the ears of the onlooking cultivators — some even felt their eardrums burst!
Countless people were shocked and opened their eyes wide.
Long Teng was indeed not a braggart, and did possess real ability.
Shocking, mighty fluctuations spread in all directions.
The terrifying dragon roar resounded between Heaven and Earth as clouds burst apart, and the Universe appeared to reverse with the manifestation of an actual True Dragon whose one claw could raze everything to dust!
This was Long Teng"s [True Dragon Art], and right now, he displayed it in all its majesty and its tyrannical force reached the extremes.
"The eras are long and the world starts anew even after it"s destroyed — how many Young Geniuses have turned into bones buried under the desolate deserts? You are nothing but an ant I am about to trample to death, so do you really believe you deserve to be remembered?"
Gu Changge said with a mockery-filled tone in an unhurried manner, while attacking at the same time.
The Cultivation Base he showed was only at the Initial Stage of the False G.o.d Realm, but he possessed an invincible posture. Right now, he was surrounded by endless Immortal brilliance that made him resemble a Young Immortal stand in the Void!
A Mystical Ability holding a galaxy in it smashed down.
The scene of the sun falling and the moon sinking manifested in front of everyone as terrifying might emerged from his hands and tried to slaughter the dragon in front of him.
Long Teng"s body was covered in golden flames that drowned the sky, and right now, he released all kinds of terrifying Mystical Abilities.
[Boom!]
"Are you worthy of killing me?"
Long Teng growled with soaring killing intent.
"The Great Dao is immeasurably vast, and everything turns to dust as time goes by — all living beings are nothing but ants."
"Killing you is easy, I need but a single palm."
Gu Changge spoke with an indifferent expression and a tone filled with extreme contempt.
Long Teng was about to go mad because Gu Changge called him an ant in every sentence he uttered. All this time, he was the one regarding others as ants! Since when did he become an ant in someone else"s eyes?!
Suddenly, Long Teng"s expression changed.
As Gu Changge raised his palm, infinite brilliance bloomed behind him and the aura of the Great Dao spread everywhere.
The Dao Bone inside his body started to glow!
The aura of the Great Dao condensed around him, and it appeared as if he was standing in a Universe of Myriad Worlds, with countless galaxies moving beneath his feet!
One star after another manifested to create a majestic, ancient starry sky descending from above Gu Changge.
It was as if everything and everyone somehow reached the every edge of the Universe.
"What kind of Mystical Art is that…"
"It must be Gu Changge"s Innate Talent!"
Many Young Supremes gasped and felt a deep sense of terror.
"That"s my Great Dao Dharma Incarnate…"
Gu Xian"er clenched her hands as she sensed a familiar aura.
The Dao Bone he took from her exerted unparalleled might in Gu Changge"s hands, as if it could bloom with the resplendent majesty it deserved to show.
His use of the power made even her feel the Natural Laws of the Great Dao.
In the next moment, the world behind Gu Changge transformed into his domain, and the Great Dao manifested in the shape of the sky.
As soon as he raised his palm, it covered the sky and the sun.
[Puff!]
Gu Changge looked down on Long Teng with an indifferent expression, and then, the giant palm made from the sky and the stars fell to bury everything beneath it!
In the next moment, everyone witnessed a shocking scene.
Some of the onlookers felt their souls tremble, and couldn"t help but want to kneel on the ground in worship of the deity in front of them.
"The aura of the Great Dao…"
Long Teng"s complexion changed, too, and he understood that he couldn"t resist the onslaught of the oncoming palm.
A terrifying aura descended on him and m.u.f.fled his sound. At the same time, his figure retreated in haste, as if trying to escape from a Mountain of Death!
Alas! Gu Changge"s palm moved at breakneck speed, and also covered the entire world, so it gave him no way out as it tried to flatten him to death!
"You crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Long Teng punched out with the intent to resist the palm.
His ancient True Dragon bloodline manifested and tried to penetrate the Heaven-rending Palm descending down on him!
However, with a clicking sound, a look of shock, horror, and disbelief filled his face as if he was struck by lightning.
At the same time, his arms bled as if he smashed his arms into a rock.
In everyone"s eyes, Long Teng resembled an egg that was smashed into a stone!
"How is this possible?! I have the blood of a True Dragon!"
Long Teng couldn"t believe what happened, and roared. His arms spasmed and he weakly fell back, as if the pain broke him down.
He was defeated in their first head-to-head clash.
It was unimaginable for him!
Long Teng"s back turned cold.
"This is what I meant when I told you to stand still, do you understand?"
A freakish chill went down Long Teng"s back as he listened to Gu Changge"s words!
The palm continued its descent, and with a puff, Long Teng let out a miserable scream as the palm crushed his arms and made them explode!
His mighty force of Heaven and Earth was crushed and endless terror gripped his heart.
The might descending on him wasn"t something that could be resisted by the flesh of cultivators or the creatures of the Continent, or any living being in general.
