Chapter 158: True Dragon Treasure Technique

Only Ye Chen felt especially vindicated, his heart brimming with joy.

Even the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but spread into a smile.

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing stood up from that terrifying abyss, his flesh and blood mangled, his body like a porcelain jade vase, cracking with countless fissures.

Blood imbued with divine radiance kept flowing out, staining his white robes red.

He stood in the deep pit. The earth centered on him was riddled with cracks like a spiderweb, a terrifying sight from above.

The old man proudly stood between the firmaments, looking down upon this prodigy.

He was not much better than Gu Changqing. His white beard was stained with blood, and his chest was also reddened by blood.

His gaze was as horrified as could be.

Previously Gu Changqing had used an imperial weapon to fight him to a standstill. Though surprised, he could more or less accept it.

But that strike just now… This prodigy had relied entirely on his own strength!

“When did the Jiang family summon such a heavenly prodigy? If in time he rises, my Zhen family may never see a day of resurgence.”

The old man pondered inwardly as boundless murderous intent surged up.

He glanced at the heavens and saw that the other Quasi-Emperor was also having difficulty subduing Jiang Yunli, and impatience flashed through his heart.

Then he charged at Gu Changqing again.

The old man’s form was extremely swift, his white robes left trailing afterimages across the sky. At that moment, the intense will of heaven and earth converged upon him, and with one palm strike it fell like a heavenly fall.

Hum……

Boundless time and space suddenly exploded. Under the old man’s palm, all things tangible and intangible were pulverized.

Facing this annihilating strike that swallowed heaven and earth, Gu Changqing showed little expression, only narrowing his eyes slightly.

His body arched, and in an instant, with an unrivaled domineering posture, he met the old man head-on.

The two collided again.

The two battled fiercely, victory undecided. Huge mountains collapsed as they clashed, and countless stars fell from the skies.

The earth turned into scorched ground, with terrifying fissures like endless abysses.

The void-space of their battle was stained everywhere with divine blood.

With each clash between them, waves of blood splattered.

There was the old man’s blood, and Gu Changqing’s as well.

By this point their fighting styles were both of them using their entire life to fight for their own lives. It was only a question of who would first fail to hold out.

Gradually, the old man fell into the weaker position.

Not because of the surrounding divine might, but because of the exposed momentum.

In the end he was frightened by this monster’s utterly reckless fighting. If the stalemate continued, at best both would fall together!

“Boy, you are merely a guest official of the Jiang family! Why fight to such lengths!”

“Go now, I will not pursue you in the future, and the Zhen family will not trouble you either.”

Fear arose in the old man’s heart. He dared not continue fighting Gu Changqing and immediately began to plead.

But Gu Changqing paid him no heed. His physical force waned while his momentum only grew fiercer.

He had always walked the path of invincibility, the path of cultivation with its ups and downs. He had once become Great Emperor, had repeatedly stepped into Quasi-Emperor, and had repeatedly fallen back to mortal.

His dao heart had been tempered many times and was already unshakably solid, so it could not be stirred by the old man’s light words!

Fear grew in the old man’s heart. He could no longer withstand Gu Changqing’s assaults, and signs of defeat were fully exposed!

The two unleashed a strike and were both blown backward.

“True Dragon Treasure Technique!”

Gu Changqing stood proudly in the void, murmured under his breath, and directly unleashed a punch!

This secret technique was one he comprehended by sensing the Dragon Clan’s will. Its ferocity, the way it was unyielding to death, domineering and unmatched, was bound to suppress and slay all powerful enemies across the heavens!

As the punch struck, the laws manifested like a dragon.

The most violent murderous qi gathered with heaven and earth, forming a vast murderous peerless ancestral dragon that roared across the Nine Heavens, cracking the firmament as it rushed to kill the old man.

The Dragon Clan’s unmatched true might shook heaven and earth, suppressing the heavens, shaking the eight desolations!

“Dragon Clan…”

The old man’s eyes were filled with utter terror.

This was clearly a rare Dragon Clan technique.

He could never have expected that this young man would actually be of the Dragon Clan.

Roar!

The great dragon tore the sky, its roar like thunder, deafening.

The old man felt his soul tremble. Under this supremely terrifying dragon might, he could not muster the courage to resist.

In an instant, he was torn apart by the dragon might.

The dragon fist did not lose momentum. It shattered the long river of spacetime, splashing into the chaos. In that moment a terrifying blast resounded within the chaos, causing stars across the heavens to fall, and the entire Beixuan Continent gave a sudden tremor……

When the dust settled.

Gu Changqing stood proudly beneath the firmament, his white robes stained with blood, like an asura descending, a rakshasa visiting the mortal world. Coldness poured from his eyes, terrifying to behold!

Outside the mirror.

The gathered cultivators were likewise shaken, their eyes filled with astonishment.

“Indeed, how the Heavenly Emperor is always able to display power beyond logical reasoning is something that’s always beyond comprehension.”

“Even if his root is severely damaged and his combat power plummets, he can still counter-kill a Quasi-Emperor.”

“And this overwhelmingly domineering secret technique too. How did he comprehend it? Such talent is terrifying.”

The gathered cultivators sighed.

A moment ago they lamented a hero’s decline, but now they were horrified by Gu Changqing’s abnormality.

That sense of a hero past his prime, yet still possessing an invincible, unmatched will, shook everyone’s hearts.

…

Inside the mirror.

Such a fierce commotion was naturally noted by Jiang Yunli and that Zhen family’s Quasi-Emperor battling above the Nine Heavens.

Both of them, almost in unison, had horror swell in their eyes.

They could never have imagined that an existence only half a step into Supreme could manage to kill one of the strongest among the Quasi-Emperors!

“I will definitely kill you.”

That Quasi-Emperor gritted his teeth and, disregarding Jiang Yunli, charged straight at Gu Changqing.

Jiang Yunli’s fair jade hand sliced through the firmament, carving out a majestic spacetime prison that briefly bound the Quasi-Emperor.

Then, she suddenly rushed toward Gu Changqing.

“Run!”

Jiang Yunli grabbed the staggering Gu Changqing and abruptly tore open the void to flee.

A faint fragrance flooded Gu Changqing’s mind, intoxicating yet cold, like the approach of an iceberg.

…

The two did not return directly to the Jiang family, nor did they go to the Ji family.

Instead, they entered a cave.

That Quasi-Emperor was still searching everywhere. His terrifying divine perception shrouded the entire realm, making escape truly difficult.
