The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 556 - 458: Sealing the Celestial Demon (First Update)

"Master, this is too serious!"

Yang Tian's face was shocked.

He couldn't imagine that Emperor Gaozong of Tang would actually sacrifice himself, using his life to seal the Array within the Demon Talisman.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

Wu Zetian became anxious.

She mentioned Yang Tian's ability to refine the Soul Imperial Spring, only to prevent Emperor Gaozong of Tang from suspecting her contact with Yang Tian, never thinking that he would let Yang Tian inherit his position.

For thousands of years, even Emperor Gaozong could not refine the Soul Imperial Spring.

Now, Yang Tian could refine the Soul Imperial Spring, so Emperor Gaozong wanted him to inherit everything?

"My decision is made, no objections!"

Emperor Gaozong declared firmly.

He was naturally aware of Yang Tian's value.

For thousands of years, no one had been able to refine the Soul Imperial Spring, except for Wu Zetian.

But now, Yang Tian had done it.

What this meant was crystal clear to Emperor Gaozong.

"Your Majesty, the Great Tang can't be without a ruler for even a day, please reconsider!"

The Old Woman knelt down anxiously.

"The Celestial Demon will soon break through the Array of the Demon Talisman and enter the mortal realm. The situation is urgent, do not say anything more!"

Emperor Gaozong just said one sentence.

Then he floated into the air, forming a Dharma Seal with his hands while chanting a Spell.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three deafening roars sounded.

Three powerful Dharma Seals formed in the air, striking towards Emperor Gaozong's spirit hall.

Emperor Gaozong was shattered instantly.

Crash!

Emperor Gaozong's shattered soul transformed into a gigantic Divine Dragon, emitting a sacred glow, representing the most powerful entity of the Great Tang.

The Divine Dragon roared.

Everyone in the wooden house couldn't help but kneel.

This Divine Dragon was highly sacred, representing the power of the entire Great Tang as embodied by Emperor Gaozong.

With a whoosh.

The Divine Dragon swooped down, merging into Wu Daba's body with a single strike.

Swish!

Wu Daba erupted with intense flames.

The flames burned unceasingly, while the Array formed by the Demon Talisman boiled. Wu Daba suddenly opened his eyes, crying out in agony, "Help me, it hurts so much, help me..."

"Grandfather..."

Wu Yue became anxious.

But Yang Tian held Wu Yue tightly.

He probed into Wu Daba's body, sensing Emperor Gaozong's Divine Dragon continuously shuttling around. Soon, a stream of dark aura exuded from Wu Daba's body.

This dark aura transformed into a face.

Seeing this face, Wu Yue exclaimed: "This is my great-grandfather, Wu Tiandu!"

"Wu Tiandu?"

Yang Tian looked at the face and noticed two sharp demon fangs, his heart sank: "I'm afraid, Wu Tiandu entered here only to become a Celestial Demon!"

"You all must die!"

At this moment, the face on Wu Daba's body roared furiously.

The roar sounded like the howls of wolves and the wails of ghosts.

But upon hearing it, everyone felt a heavy burden in their hearts, fearing that Wu Tiandu became a Celestial Demon, intending to enter the mortal realm to bathe in human blood.

"Such audacious Celestial Demon, this is not a place for your arrogance!"

Emperor Gaozong's voice was icy cold.

The gigantic Divine Dragon surged out from Wu Daba's body, hovered in the air, and finally struck heavily on Wu Daba's body.

Bang!

After a loud crash.

The Array formed by the Demon Talisman on Wu Daba was completely cleared.

And Wu Tiandu's face also dissipated.

The surroundings quickly returned to silence.

Wu Daba sat there in a daze: "What just happened, I seemed to see my father, did he come to guide me?"

But no one answered him, everyone looked up into the air.

Emperor Gaozong was already severely wounded, he glanced at Wu Zetian, smiling calmly: "Oh well, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Then, Emperor Gaozong gathered the last of his Spiritual Breath from within.

The Spiritual Breath transformed into a Divine Dragon image, suppressing the Celestial Demon Eye.

Whoosh!

A Jade Slip flew down, heading towards Yang Tian's hand.

Yang Tian took the Jade Slip.

"Disciple, my soul is depleted, this is the end for me. From now on, it's up to you to finish it."

After saying this, Emperor Gaozong completely vanished.

Yang Tian held the Jade Slip tightly, his face grave with concern.

"Your Majesty..."

Wu Zetian's face was pale, she was unwilling to accept the fact that Emperor Gaozong had passed. That night, she instructed several mages to perform a rite.

The rite was not to guide Emperor Gaozong's soul to rest in peace.

But to detect Emperor Gaozong's soul.

This rite lasted for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, Wu Zetian excitedly said: "According to our calculations, the Emperor's soul has not perished, it has dispersed around. Next, I will retrieve the Emperor's soul!"

Yang Tian remained silent.

The strike from four days ago was terrifying.

Emperor Gaozong's soul had long dissipated, it would be difficult for it to revive in this lifetime.

Yet Yang Tian did not voice this to Wu Zetian.

"Moreover, I, Wu Zetian, will announce something today!" Wu Zetian broke a strand of hair with a dagger in her hand, letting it drift down gently: "I, Wu Zetian, will remain a widow for the Emperor until he returns to find me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down: "Long live the Empress a thousand years!"

Yang Tian furrowed his brow.

Before his death, Emperor Gaozong instructed Yang Tian to take good care of Wu Zetian.

This care naturally referred to matters related to the Soul Imperial Spring.

Since Yang Tian had refined the Soul Imperial Spring, in Emperor Gaozong's view, only Yang Tian was worthy of Wu Zetian.

But thinking of Emperor Gaozong, Yang Tian still shook his head, pondering: "Master means for me to pair with Wu Zetian to jointly cultivate the Power Seal? But Wu Zetian is Master's woman, also my master's wife. Although she looks exactly like my first love, I, Yang Tian, swear here that I will never again entertain frivolous or flirtatious thoughts towards my master's wife!"

With this thought, Yang Tian's heart felt at ease.

He stretched out his hand and took out the Jade Slip by Emperor Gaozong's deathbed instructions.

Exercising his Divine Sense, he unrolled the Jade Slip.

In an instant, a vast source of information surged into Yang Tian's mind.

"Disciple, by the time you see this Jade Slip, I will be dead. It contains all my life's teachings, but the most important thing is to tell you that to truly cultivate the Power Seal, you must engage with Wu Mei. I have failed to reach the pinnacle of the Power Seal over these thousand years, leading to such a downfall. By engaging with Wu Mei and obtaining the Divine Power within her, you can push the Power Seal to the pinnacle! Yet, for thousands of years, I couldn't approach Wu Mei. Now, since you've refined the Soul Imperial Spring, it indicates you are Wu Mei's True Destiny Emperor!"
