Chapter 99: Curse Of The Ancient Emperor, Something Off About Changxi

Outside the mirror.

In the humongous heavenly palace, there wasn’t a single sound.

It was so silent, it was rather scary.

From the cultivators that had just started all the way to those who were at Great Emperor, they all stared at Gu Changqing in the mirror like they were in a daze.

Everyone’s faces were covered with deep shock.

Every Great Emperor had their eyes and mouths wide open, like a three year old staring at something for the first time. They had lost the authoritative aura and weight that someone of their status should have.

After a long period of silence, a burst of scattered voices suddenly exploded.

“How can it be…how did this happen…”

“That being was at Half-step to Immortality! How is the Heavenly Emperor this powerful?!”

“I know we cannot compare the Heavenly Emperor’s fighting prowess to ordinary people, but this is simply too mind-blowingly impossible!”

“A Half-step to Immortality being didn’t even stand a chance in front of him!”

Countless voices rose as the cultivators couldn’t help but pass comments among themselves.

The scene they had just witnessed was just too shocking.

Because it had happened way too easily!

It was as though that creature wasn’t a powerful being at Half-step to Immortality that could make even Great Emperors feel suffocated, but just a weak, pathetic piece of cabbage!

Right from the start, that ancient emperor seemed like nothing but a joke.

He had died so quickly without warning, as though he wasn’t even worthy of leaving some grand last words before dying.

“The Heavenly Emperor had insisted on cultivating in the heavenly dao and was able to kill the Golden Crow Great Emperor even though he was only at Quasi-Emperor. At that time, he had used quite a bit of effort and even used a secret technique.”

“But this time, he was also at Quasi-Emperor, but faced with an even more powerful enemy, a being at Half-step to Immortality. Yet he slayed his enemy in one second.”

“Are the Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation methods really this terrifying?”

Some cultivators passed such comments as they reeled in shock.

After all, based on what they could see, the cultivation system that the Heavenly Emperor had come up with seemed too terrifying to be true.

The speed was one problem. The fact that he could get to such high realms of cultivation was already shocking enough to these cultivators.

But they never expected that his fighting prowess would also be this insane!

“How is there someone like that in the world?!”

“He’s not human at all!”

After getting over their initial shock, the cultivators began cursing and swearing again.

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up, “If the Heavenly Emperor was already so terrifying at Quasi-Emperor and was already able to suppress so many Great Emperors, then how much more powerful did he become after properly becoming Great Emperor himself?”

Immediately after that was said, a look of horror spread across the faces of the cultivators.

Besides horror, there was real fear!

That was true – even though they had this unparalleled immortal weapon, the Bronze Ancient Mirror, why was the Heavenly Emperor unable to fight back at all during this rebellion against him?

It had all gone too easily!

Eerily easily!

Right now, everyone could feel their hair stand on end, afraid that in the next moment, the Heavenly Emperor trapped within the mirror would suddenly break through his seal and kill everyone present.

“Is it possible that the Heavenly Emperor never properly reached Great Emperor?”

“After all, before this, he had the chance to become Great Emperor but he gave it up. And after giving up, it wouldn’t be that easy to reach it again, would it?”

That was the analysis of one of the cultivators.

Everyone nodded lightly in agreement.

On one hand, they also felt that since the Heavenly Emperor had given up that earlier chance to hit Great Emperor, it wasn’t going to be as easy to get there again.

On the other hand, they felt that if the Heavenly Emperor truly reached Great Emperor, then he would definitely be powerful enough to subdue the entire world. How could the Justice Alliance still be standing right now?!

Ye Chen’s heart was in chaos after hearing what everyone else had said.

If the Heavenly Emperor had really never reached Great Emperor realm, that was a good thing, actually.

But at the same time, he felt a humiliation he had never felt before!

He was supposed to be a man blessed by the heavens! A man blessed by gods that had never existed before in a million years!

If the Heavenly Emperor had never even arrived at the Great Emperor stage, then the fact that Ye Chen still had to gather dozens of Great Emperors to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor together…

That was a humiliation that he would never get rid of for thousands of years to come!

…

In the mirror.

After all the dust had settled.

All of that terrifying aura had disappeared along with the death of this nearly immortal being.

Only the immortal divine sense that belonged to the Half-step to Immortal being continued to weave itself into the skies. For a being at this stage, even if they died, it was impossible to destroy their will. Their divine sense would live on forever.

Gu Changqing ignored the remnant of that terrifying will.

He flew toward Changxi.

But just then, something unexpected happened!

Within the void, that terrifying immortal divine sense weaved itself with countless dao laws to form an incredibly valiant will.

In the clouds, a giant cloud of demonic qi came together to form a vicious demon face.

“Gu Changqing!!!”

The demon face let out an ear deafening roar, causing the heavens to shake and the void to collapse.

These three simple words revealed so much indignation and rage.

“Omanibamnuuu…”

The vicious demon face began to chant complex and disturbing noises nonstop.

Like it was some sort of curse.

Words as tiny as flies surrounded by murderous qi began spewing out from the mouth of the demon face. As the murderous qi filled the air, wrath filled the skies.

In that moment.

Gu Changqing could sense that Changxi’s body was trembling slightly.

Her aura was growing and expanding, and her cultivation level was actually climbing at a terrifying speed!

This phenomenon came quickly and went just as quickly.

Gu Changqing’s expression shifted slightly. He could sense that this ancient emperor had done something to Changxi in that moment.

He immediately spread out his divine sense to scan Changxi.

But he failed to see anything amiss.

Even her cultivation level was just like before, without any change. It was as if what he just saw was merely a figment of his imagination.

“Hahaha…”

The demon face let out a maniacal laughter that made souls shudder. “Gu Changqing, I’m going to see what choice you make now. Would you kill her? Or kill her? HAHAHA…”

That immortal will suddenly exploded and shattered.

As if that immortal will had been destroyed and disappeared entirely in this space time.

…

Outside the mirror.

The cultivators saw the same thing as Gu Changqing.

And so, the cultivators outside the mirror felt the same thing as Gu Changqing as well.

“What did that ancient emperor do to the Moon Goddess just now?”

“I saw that too.”

The cultivators turned to look at Changxi.

But Changxi looked equally confused.

Even though her face was covered in a veil and her expression wasn’t clear, her eyes were filled with puzzlement.

She shook her head and explained calmly, “I’ve never felt anything strange about my body.”

“At that time, I was in a deep sleep. I only knew that I was being suppressed by an ancient demon emperor, but I have no idea what happened during this time.”

“That’s why I had no idea that he would come to save me. I only know that after I woke up, he was right beside me.”
