304: Chapter 304 The System's Cheat Code Scares a Half-Step True Immortal to the Ground

Rumble!

That dozens-of-meters-tall remnant soul of the War God's Personal Guard stepped out from the light screen, its heavy footfall causing the entire street to tremble.

The long spear in his hand pointed at Su Changge, and a thick Killing Intent pressed down like a physical substance, blowing the surrounding stardust in all directions.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon were so terrified that they knelt down immediately, not even daring to raise their heads.

This was a War God's Personal Guard! Even as a remnant soul, his strength was comparable to a Mahayana Stage Cultivator with half a foot in the True Immortal realm! Before him, these two in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage were less than ants.

Courageous Stone also shook with fear, falling to his knees with a thud and kowtowing respectfully toward the figure.

"Your subordinate, Courageous Stone, pays respects to Commander Zhao!"

The golden figure swept a glance over Courageous Stone, his voice sounding like thunder.

"Courageous Stone? You actually dare to collude with outsiders to trespass into the City Lord's Mansion? Do you know your crime?"

Courageous Stone hurriedly kowtowed in terror. "Commander, have mercy! This Saint has arrived to retrieve the Legacy left by Lord War God. This subordinate did not dare to block him!"

"A Saint?" Commander Zhao frowned, his gaze falling upon Su Changge, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"Him? Worthy of being a Saint? I think he's just some fraud who dares to act wild in the War God's Mansion!"

As Commander Zhao spoke, he thrust the long spear forward, sending a silver spear light dozens of meters long blasting toward Su Changge.

The power of that spear light was terrifyingly immense. Before it even arrived, it had already carved a deep trench into the stone slabs of the ground, and the surrounding ruined buildings were reduced to powder by the aftershock.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon turned pale with fright, scrambling backward for fear of being caught in the spear light's wake.

Su Changge stood his ground. Watching the oncoming spear light, he was panicking internally, but his outward appearance remained calm and indifferent.

[Holy crap, this guy is way tougher than Courageous Stone! One spear strike could probably insta-kill me, right?]

[System! Quickly give me the most badass special effect! One that can scare him off!]

With a thought from Su Changge, the System immediately matched the special effect of the Wan Hua Gui Yi Sword. A strand of Sword Qi so thin it was almost invisible emerged from his fingertip and drifted slowly toward the spear light.

That seemingly invincible spear light, upon touching the pitifully thin Sword Qi, instantly shattered like a bubble without making a single sound.

The surroundings instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The disdain on Commander Zhao's face froze instantly, replaced by eyes full of terror.

This was the Sword Qi of the great dao origin!

Only a true Saint could produce an attack containing the great dao origin!

This person really was a Saint!

Commander Zhao fell to his knees with a thud. His dozens-of-meters-tall body hitting the ground made the entire area shake.

"This lowly one was blind! I did not know a Saint had graced us with his presence! I beg the Saint for forgiveness!"

He had actually dared to attack a Saint just now—wasn't that just seeking death?

Su Changge breathed a sigh of relief. Keeping his face expressionless, he calmly withdrew his hand.

"Rise. Those who do not know are guiltless."

Commander Zhao hurriedly scrambled up and stood respectfully to the side, his head bowed low, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Standing behind him, Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon were dumbfounded, forgetting to even stand up from where they knelt.

My god! That was a War God's Personal Guard comparable to a half-step True Immortal! And he was stopped by a casual strand of Sword Qi from Su Changge? He was even scared into kneeling?

Just how terrifyingly high was this level of strength?

The duo's awe of Su Changge had reached their very bones; they no longer dared to harbor any ulterior motives.

Su Changge ignored them, his gaze returning to the light screen of the Myriad Stars Return to One Formation. Following the records in the Great Dao Scripture Pavilion, he located the node of the third star runes in the top-left corner.

He slowly raised his hand and extended a finger, seemingly casually tapping that node.

The System again matched the Wan Hua Gui Yi Sword's effect. An imperceptible strand of Sword Qi seeped in from his fingertip, landing on the core node of the Restriction.

Crack!

A faint cracking sound rang out. That seemingly indestructible light screen instantly developed dense, spiderweb-like cracks, just like shattered glass.

Then, with a loud boom, the entire light screen exploded into a sky full of stardust, dissipating into the air.

The Restriction of the entire City Lord's Mansion had been broken by Su Changge with a single finger.

As the aftershock spread, more than half of the surrounding ruined buildings were blown away, and the stone slabs on the ground were all ground into powder.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon, lying on the ground, were rolled far away by the shockwave. Covered in dust, they didn't dare utter a peep; they scrambled up and immediately knelt before Su Changge, looking at him with faces full of fanaticism.

"Senior's Divine Might! Senior's strength reaches the heavens!"

"Senior is truly a Divine Being! Being able to follow Senior is a blessing we've earned over eight lifetimes!"

The two were now completely submissive, no longer daring to have any other thoughts.

With Su Changge's level of strength, forget about stealing an Opportunity—even if he just gave them some scraps, it would be enough for them to Breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.

Commander Zhao also bowed respectfully to Su Changge. "Saint, please follow me. The Legacy left by Lord War God is inside the secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion."

Su Changge nodded and followed Commander Zhao into the mansion.

[Holy cow, that almost scared me to death just now. Luckily I hit the right spot, otherwise I'd be done for today.]

[Shattering Star Art Incomplete Manual! Here I come!]

Su Changge remained calm on the surface, but he was incredibly excited inside, his pace quickening slightly.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, although the furnishings were dilapidated, one could still see the grandeur of the past. The floor was paved with tiles polished from star cores, and the pillars were cast from Meteoric Iron; any piece pried off would be worth a lot of money.

Commander Zhao led the way to the very back and stopped in front of a stone door.

"Saint, this is the secret chamber. Lord War God's Legacy is inside, but there is an obsession left by Lord War God within. Only those who pass the trial can obtain the Legacy."

Su Changge nodded. Just as he was about to push the stone door, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura coming from behind it, many times stronger than Commander Zhao.

That aura was ancient and violent, carrying a thick air of slaughter, like a Vicious Beast that had slept for a hundred thousand years just waking up.

It was as if the remnant soul of the Ancient War God had awakened.

Su Changge's heart skipped a beat. [Wait? No way? Is the Ancient War God still alive?]

The moment his hand touched the stone door, it opened with a creak on its own. A piercing golden light surged out, and a figure wearing a Golden Imperial Robe slowly stepped out from within.
