Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 620 - 594: Gui Guzi Breakthrough_1
At this moment, all his doubts were dispelled! No wonder the Demi Immortal powerhouse of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court hadn’t intervened when the Eight-gui Array was activated. It wasn’t that they chose not to act; they weren’t even at the front line!
"Die!" ’Robbery’ was filled with malice, his white robe fluttering, the劫力 (Tribulation Power) around him swirling, condensing into a black warblade as it charged towards Qin Wudao.
The energy of the calamity surged! The Void was filled with an evil aura! Beneath the black blade swirled dense resentment, furious rage, cold Evil Qi, ruthless killing intent, and the aura of death, symbolizing life’s end.
"Die!" Soultian Emperor, Pavilion Master of the Eternal Temple who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, finally reacted, his face extremely grim as he roared. He’d been tricked! To think that the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, possessing at best only powerhouses of the Great Emperor Realm, had managed to trap both of them within the formation, causing them to hesitate for so long! At the same time, he realized that now was the perfect opportunity to kill Qin Wudao. Once Qin Wudao was dead, the Fortune of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court would undoubtedly suffer, making it impossible for them to muster a large-scale force to continue their assault on the Eternal Temple.
The attacks from the two Demi Immortal powerhouses traversed the expansive sky. Immortal light shook the heavens! The blade energy threatened to shatter eternity!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Guo Jia’s pupils constricted as he shouted a warning.
"Trying to kill me?" Qin Wudao’s lips curled into a cold smile, showing no sign of panic. "By the power of Fortune, empower me!"
A massive surge of Fortune descended from the heavens, causing his strength to skyrocket. He broke through several cultivation levels, reaching the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm. He was now just one step away from the Semi-Immortal Realm, and this step was not an insurmountable chasm!
"By the power of Heavenly Dao, empower me!" Qin Wudao took a deep breath and roared again.
Hidden in the shadows, Universal Heaven waved his right hand, mobilizing the vast power of the Heavenly Dao and channeling it into Qin Wudao’s body.
CRACK!
The bottleneck to the Semi-Immortal Realm shattered.
"Fight!" Qin Wudao roared, his black hair whipping wildly. The spiritual energy within him completely transformed into immortal power, surging into the Xuanyuan Sword.
CLANG!
He slashed out twice!
ROAR!
Two golden dragons flew forth from the Xuanyuan Sword. The Emperor’s majesty was boundless, carrying the will of a hegemon to suppress mountains and rivers, the will of a sovereign to rule all people, and the will of an emperor to dominate all. All land under Heaven is the King’s domain! Submit! All of you, submit!
BOOM! BOOM!
The two streams of blade energy were instantly shattered. ’Robbery’ and Soultian Emperor’s expressions changed drastically as a mighty force slammed into them. Their blood roiled, and they were sent flying backward uncontrollably, shattering the Void and sending cracks spreading through it.
"Why has his strength increased so much?" Tens of thousands of zhang away, Soultian Emperor stabilized himself, rubbing his numb wrist, his expression incredibly grim. The Heavenly Dao is a power comparable to the Great Dao itself, and he also has the vast power of Fortune augmenting him! It’s no exaggeration to say that Qin Wudao’s strength now far surpasses that of ordinary Demi Immortal Martial Artists. Even if ’Robbery’ and I joined forces, we couldn’t defeat him.
"Retreat!" ’Robbery’ saw their dire situation, but with no time to explain, he turned and fled into the distance.
Soultian Emperor glanced eastward. At the edge of his vision, he saw a colossal chessboard of heaven and earth moving, crisscrossing laws filling the sky, its aura so powerful it shook the nine heavens. His pupils contracted slightly; he dared not linger and also fled in disarray.
The moment they departed, the Void around them shattered completely. Gui Guzi, clad in a long robe with an exquisite chessboard floating above his head, descended onto the battlefield, his eyes as bright as stars.
"A Demi Immortal!"
"The State Preceptor of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court has actually broken through!"
"This means the Qin Dynasty now has two Demi Immortal Martial Artists holding the line!"
The observing Martial Artists all exclaimed in shock. They were especially stunned and wildly envious when they saw Gui Guzi arrive and witness ’Robbery’ and Soultian Emperor fleeing for their lives. If only our factions also had a Demi Immortal powerhouse protecting us, how wonderful would that be!
"Your Majesty, this servant has arrived late to protect you. Please punish me!" Under countless gazes, Gui Guzi bowed respectfully, his attitude meticulous. There wasn’t a hint of arrogance in his demeanor, despite having broken through to the Semi-Immortal Realm.
"Rise," Qin Wudao said calmly, waving his hand.
His composed manner, in turn, made the leaders of many other factions burn with envy. The difference! This truly is the difference! If a Martial Artist from their own faction broke through to the Demi Immortal Realm, they’d be fortunate if they didn’t have to worship them like an ancestor, let alone expect such a grand display of etiquette. That would be pure fantasy! If they encountered someone ambitious, that person might even seize power directly and stage a coup.
"Your Majesty, should this servant intervene and eliminate them?" Gui Guzi asked softly after rising, his gaze turning to the last remaining battlefield.
Several hundred li away, the Yan Yun Cavalry was locked in a fierce battle with the experts from the Eternal Temple. Beneath a sky tinged with red light lay over thirty corpses, their terrifying residual pressure still palpable.
"No need," Qin Wudao waved his hand. "Let them gain some experience." The Yan Yun Cavalry were among the first experts he had summoned. They had made meritorious contributions throughout their journey, but in recent years, due to the overwhelming strength of their enemies, they had few opportunities to engage in battle. The Yan Yun Cavalry were not ordinary powerhouses; they were an army. Any army is forged through countless battles, tempered and strengthened in the crucible of blood and fire. The strength of the Eternal Temple’s experts was neither too strong nor too weak, making them perfect whetstones for the Yan Yun Cavalry, to hone their crescent blades to an even keener edge.
If others knew what Qin Wudao was thinking, they would surely be utterly demoralized. The core experts of the Eternal Temple... merely fit to be whetstones for the Yan Yun Cavalry?
"As you command!" Gui Guzi bowed slightly and stepped to the side, saying no more. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Counselor Guo!" Qin Wudao, as if remembering something, called out in a level voice.
"Your servant is present!" Guo Jia stepped forward, cupping his hands in salute.
"In the name of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, invite the leaders of all major Holy Lands to gather outside the Endless Cliff in two days. I have important matters to discuss with them!" Qin Wudao commanded.
"I obey!" Guo Jia nodded and respectfully withdrew.
The other ministers of the Qin Dynasty were like spectators, silently observing the battlefield.
"For the Eternal Temple, kill!"
On the battlefield, the heavy scent of blood filled the air. Only a dozen or so Eternal Temple experts remained, fighting valiantly. These dozen or so individuals all possessed cultivation at or above the Origin Great Emperor Realm! They were all steadfast supporters of the Eternal Temple, fearless in the face of death. Even though they had been abandoned by ’Robbery’ and Soultian Emperor, they had no intention of retreating, nor did they beg for mercy.
"Great Desert Battle Formation, attack!" A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Yan Yun Cavalry for their opponents’ resolve, but their actions remained swift and decisive. In fact, they unleashed their strongest battle formation.
Amidst the shattered Void, a yellow wind swept through, conjuring a boundless desert that stretched beyond the horizon. Even an ordinary person, gazing upon it from afar, would be filled with a sense of heroic grandeur. Yellow sand danced across the sky, obscuring everything in a hazy blur.
"Everyone, be careful!" an elder from their group, his aura faint and his body covered in wounds, warned vigilantly.
No sooner had his voice faded than eighteen invincible horsemen, brandishing their warblades, charged out from the swirling sands. Empowered by their army formation, the aura they unleashed was comparable to the Peak of the Supreme Emperor Realm.
The thundering sound of hooves was deafening! A swath of chillingly white blade light descended! The frigid light shone upon the faces of the Eternal Temple experts, making them appear deathly pale. In the next instant, those faces were stained crimson—the color of blood!
With this, the entire upper echelon of the Eternal Temple had perished. The final line of defense at the Eternal Temple’s headquarters had fallen!
