Slaughter at the Ascension Platform
The Golden God, Thousand Zhang tall, stood like a towering mountain. His palms slammed down like clouds hanging from the sky, making it seem impossible to dodge from any direction. His terrifying attack was like a strike from Nine Heavens Immortal Deity, something no ordinary person could withstand...
Zhuge Xiang unleashed his Demon Body, transforming into Hundred Zhang- tall figure, which was quite enormous, but appeared tiny in front of the Golden God. He raised the Sea Calming Divine Needle in his hand and met the Golden God's palm, which was falling like a cloud hanging from the sky.
Despite their vastly different physiques, Zhuge Xiang exudes an aura of unwavering determination and refusal to back down.
Boom!
The Golden God's palm collided with the Sea Calming Divine Needle, and the terrifying impact transformed into an invisible and intangible shockwave that swept across the distance. In an instant, many of the Void Returning Stage experts flying through the sky were shaken by the shockwave, bleeding from their seven orifices and falling from the sky...
"All Cultivator below the Dao Seeking Realm, retreat and reinforce the Restriction Barrier..." Upon seeing this, Daoist Master Wu Yazi's expression turned solemn as he shouted.
At this level of combat, even Nascent Soul Stage and Dao Seeking Realm Void Returning Stage Cultivator are no longer qualified to watch from the sidelines. The shockwaves emanating from their every move are enough to cause collateral damage, severely injuring any innocent bystanders. After all, this is a battle between immortal-level powerhouses...
As expected of a power comparable to that of immortals and gods, in a direct clash, Zhuge Xiang's physical body was actually violently blasted away. He felt a tightness in his chest, almost spitting out blood, and was in great discomfort. His Character Interface's massive HP even dropped a small portion...
Although Zhuge Xiang had successfully cultivated the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer, his physical strength had reached the level of a celestial being. However, the power of the Golden God was also at the level of a celestial being. This was only because it was nighttime, with the blessing of the Night Emblem, that Zhuge Xiang only suffered minor internal injuries in a direct confrontation. Otherwise, during the day, he would have at least suffered serious injuries and vomited blood.
"What? You're not injured?" Although he knew Zhuge Xiang was physically strong, Ying Qianshan was incredulous to see that Zhuge Xiang had been forced back in the fight, only looking a little pale.
Judging from the previous battles, Zhuge Xiang's strength has at least doubled. How could someone's strength increase so dramatically in such a short time?
"Oh?" Daoist Master Wu Yazi, who had also noticed Zhuge Xiang's strength and the terrifying increase in power, had his eyes light up. He had originally thought that without the help of Liao Wufa and the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the fate of the Great Tang Dynasty was unimaginable. But seeing the strength that Zhuge Xiang was showing, Daoist Master Wu Yazi had a glimmer of hope.
Although Zhuge Xiang is powerful, his strength has always been mainly reflected in his physical body. Compared with people at the level of Daoist Master Wu Yazi, Liao Wufa, and the Golden Body Bodhisattva, he is slightly inferior.
However, at this moment, the strength that Zhuge Xiang displayed was not inferior in the slightest; on the contrary, it was even stronger than Wu Yazi's. This improvement was not just a little bit.
This is understandable, Night Emblem's Effect is a 100% increase in all attributes. This increase isn't just in attack power, but also in defense, speed, Attack Speed, and many other aspects. It's not as simple as one plus one equals two...
"This Golden God is indeed terrifying. With the cultivation level of a Celestial God, he controls the body of a Celestial God. This is the strength of a Celestial God..." Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself in amazement as he looked at Ying Qianshan, who was controlling the Golden God.
The Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer has been Great Accomplishment. Although Zhuge Xiang also possesses a physical body comparable to that of an immortal, unfortunately, Zhuge Xiang cultivation level is only at the Eighth Layer the Spirit Severing Realm. Even with the Night Emblem making up for it, it is still not enough to bridge the cultivation gap between the three subsequent realms: the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and the Great Accomplishment Stage...
"No, he must die today..." The stronger Zhuge Xiang became, the more determined Ying Qianshan became to kill him. When Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level increased, wouldn't he be even more able to restrain Ying Qianshan's Golden God? This guy's teeth were capable of tearing apart Ying Qianshan's Golden God's Body.
With his killing intent burning even brighter, Ying Qianshan controlled the Golden God, raising his hand once more, clenching his fist, and bringing the mountain-like fist down with tremendous force...
"Zhuge Xiang, I'm here to help you!" Knowing that Zhuge Xiang was no match for Ying Qianshan, Daoist Master Wu Yazi called out, revealing his Innate Dao Body and coming to Zhuge Xiang's side. An Eight Trigrams Mirror appeared, reflecting magnificent spiritual energy, and met the giant fist of the Golden God.
With the assistance of Daoist Master Wu Yazi, Zhuge Xiang's pressure was greatly reduced, but he was also at a disadvantage. He couldn't possibly defeat Ying Qianshan; he could only remain undefeated for a short period...
On one side, Zhuge Xiang and Daoist Master Wu Yazi were suppressed by the Golden God controlled by Ying Qianshan. On the other side, on the Ascension Platform, the magnificent aura of the Heavenly Dao lingered.
Although disturbed by Ying Qianshan, the Imperial Clan family members were still on the Ascension Platform, so the ceremony for selecting a new emperor by the Heavenly Dao was not interrupted. The other Void Returning Stage Cultivator who remained next to the Ascension Platform faithfully guarded the area around the Ascension Platform.
"Ying Qianshan! Stop worrying about them! If this drags on any longer, a new emperor will be born..." The deposed emperor, who had come with Ying Qianshan, shouted urgently. For him, whether Zhuge Xiang lived or died was not the main issue; what mattered most was whether he could ascend the Imperial Throne.
Reminded of this, Ying Qianshan turned around and saw the ceremony continuing. He was startled and realized that he had been distracted by Zhuge Xiang for too long.
My purpose in coming here today is for the Imperial Throne of the Great Tang Dynasty. As for Zhuge Xiang? If I miss today, it will be easy to kill him if he is alone in the future. But once the Great Tang Dynasty is elected today, the Great Qin Empire will be in grave danger.
With this thought in mind, Ying Qianshan forcibly suppressed his urgent killing intent towards Zhuge Xiang. His Golden God's Body, Thousand Zhang tall, Void out and retrieved a pair of huge Blood-Colored Long Sword from the Void. As these two blood-red longswords appeared, a terrible bloody smell permeated the Heaven and Earth, and even the air seemed to turn blood red, filled with a viscous feeling.
Wielding two swords each, Ying Qianshan locked onto Zhuge Xiang and Daoist Master with his aura. The two massive Giant Sword, like Wu Yazi, slashed down at the two, making it impossible to dodge under the lock of their auras...
Since there was no way to dodge it, he could only take it head-on. Although he was dealing with both Zhuge Xiang Wu Yazi Wu Yazi the same time, the Sword Slash still managed to knock them back quite a bit. At the same time, using the force of the recoil, Ying Qianshan lunged towards the Ascension Platform. The Giant Sword was raised again, and it slashed down fiercely towards the Ascension Platform...
"Damn it!" Upon seeing Golden God's attack, Zhuge Xiang and Wu Yazi were horrified. Only then did they realize that the opponent's target was none other than the Imperial Clan family members on the Ascension Platform.
No wonder they said they would let that guy sit back on the Imperial Throne with dignity. It turns out they were so ruthless that they wanted to kill all the Imperial Clan family members. Heavenly Dao was choosing a new emperor, and in the end, only this guy was left. Naturally, it had to be him.
The Golden God is very powerful, but even if Zhuge Xiang and Wu Yazi join forces, they won't be defeated immediately, even if they are suppressed. However, the initiative is still in the Golden God's hands. Now, the Golden God has shifted his target to the Ascension Platform. Can the two of them stop him by joining forces?
"Explosive Steps!" Upon seeing this, Zhuge Xiang was horrified. He activated Explosive Steps, his figure flashing as he stood in front of the Ascension Platform. The enormous Sea Calming Divine Needle blocked his way, and the blood-red Sword Slash down. Zhuge Xiang blocked the sword, but he himself was also violently Knockback, crashing into the Ascension Platform...
Zhuge Xiang blocked the sword strike with Explosive Steps, but Golden God had two swords in his hand. The other sword slammed down fiercely...
"Eight Trigrams Formation!" Wu Yazi threw out the Eight Trigrams Mirror, which emitted a dense, shimmering light, transforming into a massive Eight Trigrams Formation that blocked the sky above the Ascension Platform...
Bang!
The Sword Slash, shattering the Bagua formation. The Eight Trigrams Mirror was sent flying, landing back in Wu Yazi's hand, a huge sword mark on it that had almost cleaved the Eight Trigrams Mirror in two.
Although blocked by Wu Yazi Formation, the blood-red Giant Sword still struck down on the Ascension Platform. Screams filled the air, and corpses flew everywhere. With this one blow, the Ascension Platform was directly destroyed, and countless of the more than fifty Imperial Clan children participating in the election were killed or wounded...
"Kill!" Seeing this, the deposed emperor was overjoyed. He drew his Son of Heaven Sword and charged forward. Although he had fallen from the Imperial Throne and was no longer National Fortune Protection, he had still managed to raise his cultivation to the Great Accomplishment Stage with the help of the National Fortune's fortune. Wielding the Son of Heaven Sword, killing these Imperial Clan family members who had at most just entered the Nascent Soul Stage was still quite easy.
With a sweeping attack, all the Void Returning Stage Cultivator of the Great Tang Imperial Family were within Ying Qianshan's attack range. Ying Qianshan had essentially given his opponent ample opportunity to attack, allowing him to personally kill all the Imperial Clan family members participating in the election of the new emperor.
"Li Zhi..." All the Void Returning Stage Cultivator were suppressed by Ying Qianshan's Sword Qi and had no way to help. They could only watch as the Imperial Clan family members were easily killed by the outdated emperor, like Tiger Among Sheep. Looking at Li Zhi, who was struggling to escape, Wu Zhao's eyes flashed slightly.
Wu Zhao and Li Zhi had Wedding, though it was a sham, but they still had a relationship. Now, seeing Li Zhi on the verge of death, Wu Zhao's face was filled with worry. With a flick of her wrist, a Spear appeared in her palm, and she charged towards the deposed emperor...
"How can I let you pass if you're only at the Dao Seeking Realm?" Ying Qianshan didn't take Wu Zhao seriously, judging from Wu Zhao actions. She was only at the Dao Seeking Realm, which was nothing compared to the Cultivator at the Spirit Severing Realm, Dharma Aspect Realm, Tribulation Crossing Realm, and even Great Accomplishment Stage Realm.
However, to Ying Qianshan's surprise, Wu Zhao actually passed right through his Sword Qi suppression and rushed in front of Li Zhi... (To be continued...)
