Chapter 148: Develop In The Direction Of Omnipotence; It'S Not Your Fault That You Are So Beautiful.
Develop in the Direction of Omnipotence; It's not your fault that you are so Beautiful.
Puff!
Blood spattered everywhere, accompanied by a desperate cry.
The Sword Qi pierced right between Long Teng's eyes as a bloody hole appeared from front to back.
However, the Sword Qi didn't dissipate immediately, firmly holding onto Long Teng's soul.
He had a look of panic and despair on his face, regret deeply embedded into his heart.
Long Teng never considered that he would be so severely outmatched by Gu Changge despite having broken through the pinnacle of the False God Realm.
He was almost on his knees after just a few exchanges.
The difference between the two was not something he could make up for just by having a higher Cultivation Base.
As he thought of this, Long Teng became even more desperate.
As the Sword Qi of the Endless Immortal Judgement penetrated his very soul, he felt excruciating pain.
After all, the Endless Immortal Judgement was a Supreme-Grade Soul Attacking Technique.
Gu Changge's figure appeared in front of Long Teng, his robe gently fluttered, revealing his unharmed physique.
By appearances alone, it didn't look like he just had a big battle at all.
If it weren't for the rainbow-coloured blood on his hands, he was a handsome and graceful man.
At this moment, even Gu Xian'er was slightly shaken, unsure of what to think.
However, the mere thought of indecisiveness made her blush. After all, this was Gu Changge's true nature: cold and cruel. What she had imagined before was simply her imagination. The mere idea that she thought of him as anything else made her blush in embarrassment.
It was also around this time that Gu Changge heard a prompt in his mind, a sound that signalled the successful use of the Fortune Plundering Card.
[Ding! The Fortune Plundering Card succeeded in plundering, and gained 4,000 Fortune Value.]
[Long Teng's Fortune Value has reached 0. The Kill-Drop Rule for Favoured Sons of Heaven has been triggered.]
Gu Changge's eyes seemed to be elsewhere for a brief moment, but they quickly returned to their natural state.
'As I expected...'
'The chances of success for the Fortune Plundering Card is greatest while the target is in a state of despair.'
'And now, Long Teng's Fortune Value is mine....'
'The only thing left to see is if there's anything good in the Kill-Drop reward.'
If one were to include the rewards given by the Heavenly Dao Treasure Chest in addition to the main rewards granted by the system, this could be considered quite a good haul.
At that moment, Gu Changge can even consider redeeming another set of Transcendent Bones.
After all, they were quite impressive, allowing him to directly utilise the Power of Rules without having to rely on his own understanding.
Naturally, it should be capable of controlling the True Rules, even the Rules of the Great Dao after he has completely redeemed all the sets, their collective strengths overlapping and accumulating over time.
"Lord Long Teng..."
"Surnamed Gu, if you know what's good for you, let go of Lord Long Teng this instant!"
At this time, many followers of Long Teng reacted, shouting one after another.
Their faces changed drastically yet again. They were pale and beside themselves with fear and worry, fear that Gu Changge would finally end Long Teng's life.
Although this experience involving the Ancient Immortal Continent was agreed upon by both the native and outside sects.
Even if their life and death were supposedly in their own hands after coming here with none of the older generations allowed to interfere... they were about to watch Long Teng being killed.
How could they sit still?
But... they were terrified of Gu Changge. The Young Creatures with golden wings and bull horns only yelled at him from afar, not daring to approach.
They were not as stupid and arrogant as Long Teng, knowing full well that victory was not an option. They were not like Long Teng, who was quite fond of COURTING DEATH!!!.
Even Long Teng, who broke through to the True God Realm in a desperate state was not Gu Changge's opponent.
Who among the younger generation of the Ancient Immortal Continent could possibly stop him now?
Gu Changge stared at these creatures, a flash of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
For an instant, these creatures trembled all over, their bodies cold as their very souls trembled.
This look of indifference made them freeze on the spot, none of them dared make a move.
"Master, do you wish to kill them?"
Upon seeing this, a group of followers behind Gu Changge also stepped forward. Some grinned, revealing cold and cruel smiles.
In the face of the Ancient Immortal Continent's Young Creatures, they had not felt fear in the slightest.
Even someone as strong as Long Teng was not Gu Changge's opponent. As Long Teng's followers, how could they even think of holding a candle against him?
"Kill them." Gu Changge lightly replied.
Be it a single Long Teng or his group of followers, to Gu Changge, it made little difference whether they lived or died.
"Yes, master!" The followers responded respectfully.
At that moment, a war broke out.
And soon, all the cultivators and creatures from all over the mountain peaks also exploded like a pot, aggressively discussing amongst themselves.
No one expected that Gu Changge would be so fierce and decisive that he didn't even intend on leaving any survivors.
But Yue Mingkong knew Gu Changge well, and she had long since predicted his actions.
Anyone who dares to offend him will not have a pleasant ending.
"It seems that the old man hiding in the void isn't stupid. Even now, he doesn't dare to show up and save Long Teng."
At this moment, Gu Changge glanced toward the eastern sky with a knowing smile.
He naturally knew that the older generation of the Ancient Immortal Continent had a spy in the void, but it wasn't like he cared.
Whether he killed Long Teng or not, there was no need to worry at all.
After all, the confrontation between him and Long Teng was a fight between those of the same generation. It was the older generation who decided that they'll not interfere in the battle. At this moment, coming forward to stop Gu Changge would be nothing more than a humiliating slap on their faces.
Even if the True Dragon Clan of the Ancient Immortal Races saw the scene today, they would not dare stop it.
Soon enough, Long Teng's soul broke apart in the hands of Gu Changge, instantly disappearing into the clouds.
Ye Langtian, Wang Wushuang, Peng Fei and other Young Supremes saw this scene, their expressions changing slightly as they shook their heads with bitter smiles in their hearts.
Gu Changge had incredibly powerful methods at his disposal, it was only natural that he didn't allow Long Teng to live.
If it were them, they would probably hesitate, dwelling on it for a long time as they carefully considered their options.
However, Gu Changge was the Heir of Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace as well as the Young Master of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, so it wasn't like the older generations of the Ancient Immortal Races could do anything to him.
If it really came down to it, both the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace and the rest of the Daoist Sects would not sit idly.
After killing Long Teng...
His corpse transformed into his true body as Gu Changge threw it directly into his spatial ring so as to avoid wasting it.
As for the people nearby, they dared not snatch nor even speak up regarding Long Teng's body.
Even if the True Dragon Clan's Experts showed up, he wouldn't care.
Everyone looked at this scene with mixed expressions, but one thing was for sure: they were shocked, deeply so. And it was clear that their hearts would be in turmoil for quite some time after what they had just witnessed.
What happened today can be said to have affected all the younger generations in the Ancient Immortal Continent, whether they were native or outside cultivators.
Everyone needed time to calm down.
The powerful and confident Long Teng, the once invincible Long Teng, had died today and even his body was taken away by Gu Changge.
But if it was them, at this time, even they would not let go of Long Teng's corpse. After all, it contained the rainbow-coloured Blood of the True Dragon!
Whether one refined it or boiled it alongside medicinal herbs, it was a good choice that would yield valuable results.
If you can get a glimpse of the Divine Artifacts of the True Dragon Clan, then it will be all the better.
Many people had guessed that this was Gu Changge's real plan.
At this time, Gu Changge's mind sounded the system prompt as expected.
[Ding! The task of killing the Favoured Son of Heaven, Long Teng is completed, settling the rewards...]
[The Fortune Value of the Favoured Son of Heaven has reached 0, the Kill-Drop Rule is triggered, and an extra Heavenly Dao Treasure Chest*1 is obtained.]
[Mission Completed! Rewarding the host 3,000 Fortune Value and 15,000 Destiny Points.]
'These rewards aren't bad at all.'
'4,000 Fortune Value plundered...'
'Now 3,000 Fortune Value and 15,000 Destiny points for completing the mission.'
'I have some money to play with again...'
'Open the Heavenly Dao Treasure Chest.'
Gu Changge soon commanded the system in his mind.
Every time he kills a Favoured Son of Heaven, he gets a lot of good drops, and now he was curious to know just what someone like Long Teng would drop.
Buzz!
Soon, a golden treasure chest appeared in front of Gu Changge with a mysterious look as mist surged from within.
Bang!
When the treasure chest was opened, there was a brilliant rainbow-coloured light. Within was a floating drop of crystalline blood with a vast aura that seemingly reflected the world.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Rainbow-Coloured True Dragon Blood Essence.]
[Introduction: The Rainbow-Coloured True Dragon Blood is the True Blood found under the hardest scales of a True Dragon. It is extremely rare, containing both the ultimate defence and restoration.]
After reading through this brief introduction, Gu Changge couldn't help but nod with slight satisfaction. After all, earlier, he just thought that Long Teng was merely EXP.
Long Teng dropping such a rare material was an unexpected pleasure.
Gu Changge guessed that Long Teng's earlier sudden rise in Cultivation Base may have been related to the Essence of the Rainbow-Coloured True Dragon Blood.
And soon, Gu Changge fused with this talent.
A warm and familiar feeling surrounded him, flowing towards his limbs, his bones, his every bodily cell bursting with vitality.
Crack...Crack...
Gu Changge heard the sound of his own muscles and bones undergoing a metamorphosis, rapidly dissolving and reuniting. This continued until he felt a subtle sense of what it meant to be covered by dragon scales.
'My physique has greatly increased yet again. This vitality and defensive power... at this rate, I'll be able to cover all directions, making me practically omnipotent.[1]'
[1. He is referring to how he now has defence, heal, and attack (the Sword Qi attack).]
Gu Changge thought so in his heart before quickly setting it aside.
His strength had always improved by leaps and bounds, one could say these Innate Talents were just the icing on the cake.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
And soon, all the cultivators and creatures who were watching the excitement from the mountain peaks chose to leave as a myriad of divine rainbows swept the area.
Gu Xian'er quietly glanced at Gu Changge before leaving with the big red bird.
She didn't show up to say hello, remembering how Gu Changge had bullied her.
'I planned to see Gu Changge deflate for once.'
'But I didn't think that this Long Teng would be so useless as to be killed so easily by Gu Changge.'
Secretly, Gu Xian'er wanted to find out even just a little of what Gu Changge was capable of, so she was quite annoyed by this resolution.
The news spread very quickly, almost instantly. And it didn't matter whether one was from an outside sect or a native, all of them knew it thanks to photo-taking stones.
The result of this war was expected by many, but the way in which it took to get there was simply unbelievable.
Long Teng not only lost but died.
Secondly, Gu Changge's strength was verified, and his power was unquestionable.
Beyond any doubt, he was worthy of being called a Young Asura.
And... this was the most conservative estimate they had.
As the news spread, a huge sensation erupted in various areas of the Ancient Immortal Continent. After all, not everyone had come to watch the battle.
For some time, vast waves once again erupted among the Ancient Immortal Races as the mere mentioning of the name, Gu Changge, became a taboo.
Those who heard of it were horrified, and those who saw it felt a deep fear.
Many creatures of the Ancient Immortal Race planned to avoid him.
Even Long Teng, known as the strongest of their generation, was brutally killed.
If they meet, was there any way they could survive?
'In this life, how could we meet such a terrifying young existence with outrageous strength?'
A gloomy cloud appeared above the heads of many Young Creatures in the Ancient Immortal Continent.
After that, Gu Changge's figure moved, stepping in front of Yue Mingkong's carriage.
He looked straight at Yue Mingkong who sat within.
"Mingkong, after entering the Ancient Immortal Continent, you didn't take the initiative to find your husband. You're making me feel sad."
Gu Changge casually spoke as if he wanted some sort of discussion with Yue Mingkong.
Alas, there was not a trace of sadness on his face.
"We greet Young Master Changge!"
The followers of Yue Mingkong greeted him respectfully.
Gu Changge waved his hand.
They all knew of the relationship between the two, so they promptly left, making space for them.
"What do you have to be sad about? I'm not around to hold you back, shouldn't you be pleased?"
Yue Mingkong, who witnessed this battle from beginning to end, suddenly became a little wary. After all, she had a guilty conscience after planning against Gu Changge.
Gu Changge seemed to be planning on settling accounts with her now.
When she heard this, her expression wasn't disturbed in the slightest. Gu Changge's aggravating speech and mannerisms were something she could not be more familiar with.
Her mastery in the art of curbing one's own anger was already at a very high level, due to a certain someone...
"Why do I think you look a little nervous?" Gu Changge seemed to see through her all at once.
Yue Mingkong looked at him through the curtain of the white-jade carriage.
At this moment, she felt calm, knowing full well that it was impossible to conceal her thoughts from Gu Changge's shrewd calculations.
She answered, "I have a guilty conscience."
"You do?" Gu Changge couldn't help laughing.
"It's only natural that I do, and I'm afraid that you're here to settle that account." Yue Mingkong's voice was cold and a little angry. But deep down, she only rolled her eyes.
'Even after all this, he still pretends he doesn't understand.'
'But going by what I know of his attitude, he doesn't seem to care...?'
She was inexplicably relieved.
Gu Changge shook his head with a look of "you think too much" as he naturally replied.
"Why have a guilty conscience? It's not like you can be faulted for being so beautiful."
"It's a simple fact that only good-looking people will be coveted."
"It's a pity that Long Teng chose the wrong person."
Upon hearing this, Yue Mingkong was stunned, blinking.
She found this a little bit too difficult to believe.
'Did I hear it wrong?'
'Is Gu Changge praising me for my beauty right now?'
Yue Mingkong couldn't help feeling a little bit of joy in her heart. It was not easy to hear such words from Gu Changge's mouth.
