Ying Qianshan's murderous intent
When Zhuge Xiang heard about the Bull Demon God Armor's weight of 18,800 jin, he was shocked and felt that it was unrealistic to fight while wearing it and wielding the Sea Calming Divine Needle Bull Demon God Armor. But then he thought, if he needed offensive power, he could wield the Sea Calming Divine Needle; if he needed strong defense, he could wear the Bull Demon God Armor. Wouldn't that allow him to switch between offense and defense at will?
Besides, Zhuge Xiang isn't alone; he also has the Demon Clone from the Demon Transformation Bottle. If the Demon Clone were to Sea Calming Divine Needle Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and don the Bull Demon God Armor, while Zhuge Xiang himself wields the Ruyi Sea Calming Divine Needle, wouldn't that be a perfect combination of attack and defense?
With the Bull Demon God Armor, my overall strength has been significantly improved.
"Since that's the case, I'll gladly accept. I look forward to your Bull Demon God Armor..." Having figured this out, Zhuge Xiang said to the Grand Marshal and the others with a broad smile. Indeed, Zhuge Xiang was also looking forward to the attributes of the Bull Demon God Armor.
Since Zhuge Xiang arrived, naturally, out of respect for him, Mo Lingna, Wu Zhao, and the Grand Marshal wouldn't stop him. When the last invited member of the royal family arrived at the Ascension Platform, the atmosphere within the Imperial Palace suddenly became much more tense...
More than fifty members of the royal family took their seats at the top of the Ascension Platform. Although the emperor had not yet appeared, a vast Imperial Aura had already soared into the sky. Eighty-one powerful figures hovered around the Ascension Platform, seemingly forming a formation.
As if aware of tonight's unusual nature, not a single cloud could be seen in the night sky. The vast Starry Sky floated in the heavens, making one feel as if they were in a boundless sea of stars. Only the bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a cool and refreshing Moonlight.
At this moment, no one spoke; all was silent. An air of majesty and solemnity permeated the Heaven and Earth, preventing anyone from raising their voice. Everyone waited quietly, waiting for the moon to reach its zenith, for midnight Zi Hour all things would rest...
The wait wasn't long at all. Soon, the moon moved to its zenith, and then, Daoist Master Wu Yazi, who had been slightly closing his eyes and wandering in the heavens, opened them. With a flick of his hand, three golden incense sticks embroidered with Dragon Pattern appeared in his palm.
Driven by magical power, he lit three sticks of incense, his expression solemn. Holding the incense, he faced east and respectfully bowed three times, proclaiming. "The Supreme Heavenly Dao governs all things, and all people under Heavenly Dao are subject to its workings. Yet, my Great Tang Dynasty, with billions of subjects, has no ruler to lead it. If this continues, it will surely fall apart, and countless lives will be lost. Therefore, we, representing billions of lives, hereby bestow upon the National Fortune, so that in the presence of my Great Tang, my Great Tang Dynasty may continue..."
Rumble...
As Daoist Master Wu Yazi burned incense and prayed, a thunderous sound, like the crushing roar of wheels, echoed throughout the heavens and Heaven and Earth. No one appeared, but a vast and magnificent aura slowly emerged, not emanating from any single person, but seemingly existing Heaven and Earth every corner of the Heaven and Earth...
A feeling of being looked down upon suddenly arose in everyone's hearts. It was as if a supreme being was looking down upon them from above, making them feel incredibly small. But when they looked up, they could see nothing...
On the Ascension Platform, among the fifty-odd members of the royal family, this feeling was even stronger. In their hearts, they seemed to sense a supreme being standing right in front of them, looking down upon them. If they lowered their heads, they could almost see the other's feet...
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth was utterly silent. No one dared to speak. Everyone knew that with the burning of incense and the prayers that gathered the wishes of all people, Heavenly Dao had already manifested its power, focusing a great deal of attention on this place. This was why everyone felt as if they were being looked down upon by a supreme and powerful being...
On the Ascension Platform, over fifty members of the Imperial Clan knelt prostrate on the ground. Under the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, even Void Returning Stage powerhouses would find it difficult to resist such authority, let alone them.
With the intervention of the Heavenly Dao, at this moment, almost all Cultivator could feel the existence of the Heavenly Dao, which was extremely clear.
Like Cultivator at the Dao Seeking Realm, who originally only grasped a corner of the Heavenly Dao, now they can see a large part of it. The Heavenly Dao they perceive is clearer than ever before, and their cultivation level rises accordingly...
Those Cultivator at or above the Dao Seeking Realm could sense the Heavenly Dao with unparalleled clarity. Even Cultivator below the Dao Seeking Realm could perceive the Heavenly Dao, which they usually found vague, now seemed clearly visible. In short, at this moment, the Heaven's Will was imbued, allowing all Cultivator to feel Heavenly Dao true existence...
"Hahaha, you're all kneeling like this to welcome me? How dare you! I'm back..." However, at that moment, a very discordant voice rang out, filled with Zhang Kuang.
The familiar voice made everyone look up, glaring angrily at the person who dared to cause trouble at this crucial moment. However, upon seeing who spoke, they were all stunned. The person who appeared was none other than the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty —or rather, the one who had usurped the throne of the Great Tang Imperial Throne ...
Slightly taken aback, Wu Yazi then angrily rebuked, "You dare to come back? You dared to steal the Imperial Throne my Great Tang Dynasty, and we haven't settled that score yet. Since you've walked right into our trap today, don't blame us for being impolite."
As Wu Yazi finished speaking, the powerful figures hovering around the Ascension Platform all changed their auras, preparing to make their move. These were all Cultivator from the Great Tang Dynasty, and they naturally shared a common hatred for this person who dared to usurp the Imperial Throne, wishing they could eliminate him as soon as possible.
Faced with the killing intent of so many Void Returning Stage experts, the guy who had stolen the Great Tang Imperial Throne felt a little scared. But thinking of Ying Qianshan behind him, he calmed down and looked at Wu Yazi without any politeness, saying, "Old bastard, watch your words. What do you mean I haven't settled the score for stealing the Great Tang Imperial Throne? It's you who simply doesn't have the ability to settle this score."
"You..." Wu Yazi was speechless after being challenged by this guy. After all, Ying Qianshan's power as a Golden God was truly unstoppable.
"Oh? Then I'd like to hear how you escaped?" Seeing that this guy actually dared to come, Zhuge Xiang stepped forward, carrying the Sea Calming Divine Needle) diagonally on his shoulder, and said.
Seeing this guy appear, and swagger around like that, Zhuge Xiang felt quite uneasy.
Ying Qianshan had long ago warned Wu Yazi that this guy might one day return to the Great Tang Imperial Palace and sit on the Imperial Throne, so he advised Wu Yazi not to take action. Today, this guy has really appeared. Could it be that Ying Qianshan's words were not just empty talk?
"Hmph, a boiled duck can't be boiled clean, but a beak can't be rotten. Zhuge Xiang, I trusted you so much and appointed you as Grand Marshal, yet you betrayed me so heartlessly. Once I reclaim the Imperial Throne that belongs to me, I will make sure you die without a burial place!" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, the man who had usurped the throne of the Great Tang Imperial Throne changed his expression and then angrily rebuked him.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued. Where is Ying Qianshan? It's impossible for you to come out alone," Zhuge Xiang said coldly, not intending to waste time arguing with this guy, while preparing to face Ying Qianshan.
"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit about me," as Zhuge Xiang finished speaking, the Thousand Zhang Golden God walked over step by step from the horizon. With a height of Thousand Zhang, each step covered several miles. Although his steps seemed slow, Ying Qianshan, who was hundreds of miles away, arrived in front of Zhuge Xiang and the others in an instant.
"What is that?! What a gigantic figure!" In Chang'an City, countless residents screamed in terror as they looked at the Thousand Zhang- tall figure of the Golden God.
Judging from the appearance of the Golden God, it doesn't resemble any immortals, gods, Bodhisattva, so it must be Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters. It's so huge, Thousand Zhang tall! Even a single fingernail falling from it could smash a large area of houses.
"This, this aura..." The Cultivator hovering beside the Ascension Platform were seeing the Golden God for the first time and feeling the majestic aura of a celestial being. They were all horrified and lost the courage to resist.
The gap between mortals and immortals is already despair-inducing, let alone the fact that among these Void Returning Stage cultivators, there are many Nascent Soul Stage and Dao Seeking Realm Cultivator. How could they possibly have the courage to fight against Golden God?
"I don't know much about you, but it's not less than you imagine. What? This guy's disguise has been exposed. What are you doing here today? Do you want to seize the Imperial Throne? Tell me, does anyone in the Great Tang Dynasty agree to that?" Facing Ying Qianshan, Zhuge Xiang, though inwardly serious, at least outwardly remained composed, and spoke eloquently.
"Whether we succeed in seizing it is our business, but unfortunately, you won't be able to see it. Without the Golden Body Bodhisattva and Liao Wufa's help, do you really think you can escape my grasp?" Ying Qianshan said, still in that tone of complete control.
As Ying Qianshan finished speaking, he controlled the Golden God's Thousand Zhang- tall body and slapped towards Zhuge Xiang.
Thousand Zhang high, a single slap from him would be like a cloud hanging from the sky, making it difficult to dodge. Upon arriving here, he disregarded everything else and immediately decided to kill Zhuge Xiang. This shows just how much hatred Ying Qianshan harbored for Zhuge Xiang.
This is understandable. In this Cultivation World, perhaps only Zhuge Xiang's teeth could break through the Golden God's defenses. As long as he is killed, one can control the Golden God and become invincible. Naturally, what could be more important than killing Zhuge Xiang? (To be continued...)
