328: The Immortal King was killed by the Immortal King's weapon
“The Strongest Profound God, truly lives up to his name.”
In the boundless void of the Primordial Star Domain, a figure, like a blazing sun, illuminated ancient and modern times with his Dao.
Seeing You Kui overpower Wu Dong, he shook his head, a look of admiration on his face.
Wu Dong was also a monstrous talent, progressing rapidly, sweeping all before him, breaking through to Xuan Shen Peak, and possessing the potential of an Immortal King.
But it was only potential.
Whether one could break through to an Immortal King was a completely different concept.
Since ancient times, through endless years, countless individuals have possessed the potential of an Immortal King.
He, too, had the potential of an Immortal King, or rather, anyone capable of entering the Land of Creation for nurturing possessed the potential of an Immortal King.
Yet, in the end, none of them attained the Dao of an Immortal King.
In desperation, they chose to use the Land of Creation for nurturing.
They attempted to break through to an Immortal King this way, or to combine their Dao with an Immortal King Artifact to become a Pseudo-Immortal King.
He was a Pseudo-Immortal King who had combined his Dao with an Immortal King Artifact.
Wu Dong, however, did not; he was arrogant, choosing to use the Land of Creation to nurture his supreme physique, hoping to attain the Dao of a supreme Immortal King on his own.
By now, he had been nurturing for hundreds of millions of years.
As the saying goes, the stronger and older one is, the older and stronger one becomes.
Yet, even so, Wu Dong was still no match for You Kui, demonstrating that You Kui’s title of Strongest Profound God was not undeserved.
“After this painful lesson, you should recognize reality, shouldn’t you? The so-called potential of an Immortal King is nothing but a joke. How ethereal and distant is an Immortal King? It cannot be broken through by mere talent, like an ant trying to shake a great tree.”
Du Yu spoke mockingly, belittling Wu Dong’s pride as utterly worthless.
Rumble!
Wu Dong’s face darkened, Chaos Qi permeated his body, sun and moon hung in the sky, and his Dharma appearance illuminated all heavens.
Every strike was terrifying, possessing the power to cleave open the sky and shatter countless star rivers.
But he was still no match for You Kui.
He was beaten until blood splattered in the void, his body cracking.
You Kui displayed his Universal Starry Sky Dharma, gathering brilliant star rivers around him, their divine light erupting.
He was like an ancient deity standing at the end of the universe, with immeasurable divine power.
He unleashed a punch, carrying endless star rivers, the force of his fist vast and boundless, destroying all techniques, causing Wu Dong’s body to crack.
“Die for me.”
You Kui’s figure flickered, and seven identical figures appeared, brandishing the Seven Stars Sword, intending to slay Wu Dong.
His eyes were cold, and his battle intent soared to the heavens.
Through countless years, he had endured innumerable battles.
A mere Wu Dong, no matter how many years he nurtured, You Kui was invincible beneath an Immortal King.
As for the Pseudo-Immortal King before him… a hint of disdain flashed in You Kui’s eyes.
If Du Yu dared to touch him, he would surely die.
In this battle, destiny favored their lower realm Lineage; the Immortal Realm Lineage was destined for destruction.
Thinking this, You Kui’s battle intent grew even more fervent, his blood boiling.
“The Starry Sky Dao Scripture truly lives up to its reputation as our sect’s supreme treasure.”
Wu Dong could no longer hold on, but still tried to save face. He glanced at Du Yu, who stood with his arms crossed, watching the show, and couldn’t help but rage.
Did this bastard really need him to beg before he would act?
“Hmm! Something happened to the sect?”
Du Yu suddenly frowned, as countless pleas for help surged towards him, making him instantly realize that something major had happened to the sect.
The reason he only received the news now was likely because the heavenly secrets had been previously isolated.
But how could this be?
One had to know that the sect had two Immortal Kings overseeing it, as well as five Pseudo-Immortal Kings in slumber.
Even if the Immortal King guarding Gu Qing and He Guang Immortal King came to their door, they would still have the power to respond.
“Could it be that Wen Ge and Wen Wu have also arrived?”
Wen Ge and Wen Wu were the Twins Immortal Kings who ascended from the Archaic Starfield.
They seemed to be in a romantic relationship with You Kui’s master.
It was indeed possible they would intervene.
You Kui had not died to this day precisely because of Wen Ge and Wen Wu’s protection.
“But, no, no.”
Du Yu’s expression was solemn; he shook his head, rejecting this idea.
Even if four Immortal Kings attacked, an Immortal King battle would be world-destroying, shaking the entire Primordial Star Domain. The heavenly secrets could not be hidden, and he would not fail to sense it.
A strong sense of unease rose in Du Yu’s heart, and his gaze pierced through the void, looking towards the sect.
When he saw Gu Qing killing everywhere, chasing a group of Profound Gods and hacking them down, he became even more puzzled.
Where were the Immortal Kings?
Where had their sect’s Immortal King ancestors gone?
Du Yu was full of confusion. With a thought, he descended upon the Star Dao Sect and raised his hand to stop Gu Qing.
Although he was a Pseudo-Immortal King, he was still an Immortal King.
Even if he was not as powerful as a true Immortal King, he was not someone a Profound God could compare to.
While contacting the Immortal King ancestors, he observed Gu Qing, and the more he looked, the more astonished he became.
“Is he Gu Qing?” Du Yu’s tone was somewhat incredulous.
Gu Qing was clearly a Chaos Demon God in origin; where was there even a hint of a human?
He would believe that Gu Qing was a Chaos Demon God born from chaos.
To say Gu Qing was human was too absurd.
“Yes, Ancestor, he is Gu Qing.” Liang Yan’s face showed a look of relief after seeing Du Yu.
Hearing Du Yu’s question, he hurriedly replied.
Du Yu fell silent.
Someone had actually evolved from a mortal to a Chaos Demon God.
How heaven-defying an opportunity and creation would that require?
He absolutely had to obtain the opportunities and creations on Gu Qing’s person.
Du Yu’s expression was agitated, his greed almost overflowing from his eyes.
Then, remembering that the Immortal King ancestors were missing and their fate unknown, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.
Since Gu Qing dared to contend for the Lineage, how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?
“Hoo!”
First, figure out the situation.
Du Yu let out a long breath, looked at Gu Qing, and smiled: “You, young man, have great creation.”
“Not at all.” Gu Qing shook his head, looking at him curiously.
He looked like an Immortal King, but also felt different from an Immortal King.
He couldn’t quite pinpoint where the difference lay.
However, despite his confusion, Gu Qing was extremely nervous inside.
Even though he was invincible among Profound Gods, against an Immortal King, he would be absolutely helpless.
Just seeing how Du Yu casually neutralized his divine ability proved it.
Gu Qing quickly sent a message to Jiang Yu for help.
“No need to be nervous.”
Du Yu smiled and proactively explained: “Although I am an Immortal King, I am also not an Immortal King.”
“A true Immortal King relies on themselves to attain the supreme Immortal King Dao Fruit, while I merely took a shortcut, forcefully combining my Dao with the Immortal King Dao of an Immortal King Artifact.”
“So that’s how it is.” Gu Qing suddenly understood.
No wonder he found Du Yu strange, different from the Immortal Kings he had seen; he wasn’t a true Immortal King after all.
“Your origin is heaven-defying; even without cultivating, you can automatically advance to the Divine King realm. In the future, attaining the Dao of an Immortal Emperor or Divine Emperor is within reach. This is a great fortune for our sect.”
Du Yu sighed with emotion, then paused and added: “This farce should also end. If you are willing, from this moment on, you will be the Star Dao Sect Master, and the power of life and death over the Star Dao Sect will be entirely yours.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yan and the remaining two Profound Gods’ pupils constricted, and they looked at Ancestor Du Yu in shock.
Listening to Ancestor Du Yu’s words, did he take a liking to Gu Qing’s talent and intend to vigorously cultivate him?
This was absolutely unacceptable.
Even if Gu Qing could passively ascend to Divine King and had the potential to attain the Dao of an Immortal Emperor or Divine Emperor, it was still absolutely unacceptable.
Because there was a Lineage struggle between them.
Moreover, Gu Qing had almost slaughtered all their disciples, making them irreconcilable enemies.
If Du Yu handed over power to Gu Qing, what if Gu Qing purged them?
Even if Gu Qing didn’t hold a grudge, he would certainly kick them out of the core circle and marginalize them.
The three of them were anxious, wanting to persuade Ancestor Du Yu to reconsider, but they dared not, nor could they.
How could they question the decision of an Immortal King ancestor?
“No, you traitors, heretics, sinners… must die. I am the Starry Sacred Mother’s only successor.”
Gu Qing shook his head, his expression serious and firm.
He was extremely disdainful internally.
Du Yu’s submission was probably because he already knew that the Immortal King ancestors had met with misfortune, which was why he was so eager to make peace.
Moreover, Du Yu might not genuinely want to surrender; perhaps he wanted to seize his creation.
Furthermore, the conditions Du Yu offered seemed very tempting: stop the Lineage struggle, all power to him, and he would gain the Immortal King ancestor’s foundation for free.
In reality, Gu Qing felt like a hired hand; they would still be the ancestors, monopolizing the Starry Sacred Mother’s legacy.
Therefore, these people must die. He was the Starry Sacred Mother’s most beloved child, and the Star Lineage would be inherited by him.
From now on, in the Star Lineage, there would only be his voice.
“You should consider this carefully.” Du Yu’s heart sank. He truly hadn’t expected Gu Qing to refuse such a great opportunity.
However, in order to seize Gu Qing’s creation and probe Gu Qing’s trump cards, he suppressed his thoughts.
Du Yu patiently persuaded: “Continuing to fight will not benefit you at all, because a Lineage struggle will lead to the dispersal of luck, and may even cause our Lineage to be annihilated by others. This is absolutely not an exaggeration.”
“Leaving outsiders aside, the Zwei Dao Tradition and the Taiyin Lineage have always coveted our Three Heavens, always wanting to seize them.”
“Furthermore, you possess the potential of an Immortal Emperor. The Kings do not permit anyone to attain the Dao of an Immortal Emperor. When you attain the Dao of an Immortal King, they will come to seize your Dao Fruit. With our protection, you can remain safe.”
“Well said, don’t say it again next time.”
Gu Qing sneered, unleashing the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, fully activating all the magical power Jiang Yu had left within it.
Hearing Gu Qing’s refusal, Du Yu’s killing intent immediately arose, wanting to abduct Gu Qing directly.
As long as he obtained the creation on Gu Qing’s person, why worry about not achieving the Great Dao?
The Star Dao Sect could be abandoned.
But before he could act, he saw a great cauldron appear in the sky, emitting supreme power that confined him.
Du Yu’s pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with dread.
How could this great cauldron, which seemed to be an Immortal King Artifact, possess such terrifying power?
One had to know that although he was a Pseudo-Immortal King, and there was a very large gap between him and a true Immortal King, he could still contend with one.
Yet, facing the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, he was utterly confined.
The vast and boundless magical power within his body seemed to be out of his control.
“My life is over!” Du Yu’s eyes were filled with despair.
Having just encountered an astonishing creation, yet about to perish, he could not rest in peace.
With a bang, Du Yu and the three of them, including Liang Yan, were instantly smashed into nothingness, their souls annihilated.
Gu Qing put away the Creation Green Lotus Cauldron, his heart filled with emotion. Jiang Yu was indeed a super big shot; the magical power she left behind could even kill a Pseudo-Immortal King.
As long as he clung tightly to Jiang Yu’s thigh, having a system or not didn’t matter.
“I need to ask Jiang Yu to infuse more magical power when I go back.”
Thinking this, Gu Qing’s divine sense swept across the land, killing every single one of the remaining stragglers, thoroughly purging the heretics.
“What kind of magical treasure is this, exactly?” Xing Yue and the other four, including Hong Lan, were dumbfounded.
An Immortal King being smashed to death by an Immortal King Artifact was truly the biggest joke in the world.
It shocked them for hundreds of millions of years.
If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
Looking at the peerlessly handsome Gu Qing, whose aura dominated heaven and earth, the few of them immediately revered him as a god.
“That damned bastard, it’s bad enough he’s powerful himself, but he must also have some powerful being secretly protecting him, manipulating an Immortal King Artifact to kill a Pseudo-Immortal King.” Xi Ling retracted her gaze, hiding in her room, trembling.
She was truly broken.
She probably wouldn’t be able to hold her head high in front of Gu Qing for the rest of her life, nor would she be able to make Gu Qing submit at her feet.
Meeting Gu Qing was the worst luck she had in nine lifetimes.
Wang Yue paced back and forth in the main hall, her figure slender and delicate, her pale skin appearing somewhat sickly.
However, at this moment, her face was fierce, and her aura was sinister and terrifying, like a malevolent demon.
“Could it be that the Starry Sacred Mother has revived and has been secretly protecting Gu Qing? Yes, it must be so.”
“Fortunately, my disciple loves me, and I love my disciple, so I didn’t choose to become Gu Qing’s enemy. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
