504: Killed Tianyu Immortal Emperor with one arrow

“So that’s how it is…” Lin Zhao’s heart was complex; truly, it was a matter of timing and fate.

He had been so careful and cautious, even preferring to carry dung rather than seek out the artifact spirit, precisely to avoid exposure.

He had endured for so long, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back, and one misstep led to eternal regret.

However, there was no point regretting it now.

The most pressing matter was to find the mark first.

Gu Qing being able to accurately track him surely meant he had left a mark on him.

Lin Zhao’s first suspicion was the celestial gold ore given by the artifact spirit.

His divine sense immersed in his storage ring, and sure enough, the celestial gold ore had Gu Qing’s mark; it was difficult to discover without careful inspection.

Lin Zhao, without changing his expression, used his divine sense to search himself, not even letting a single strand of hair go unchecked.

He found no mark… Lin Zhao was about to flee when he was locked onto by Gu Qing’s divine sense, the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow poised and ready.

He had no choice but to face this arrow.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, the sound of an arrow piercing the void came from the boundless emptiness, and a long arrow landed in Gu Qing’s hand.

Lin Zhao’s face twisted; at this moment, his heart was incredibly frantic, wishing he could slap himself twice.

It turned out… after Gu Qing shot that arrow, he never retrieved it.

He had been missing the perfect opportunity to kill Gu Qing all along.

“It seems there were no Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Ancient Era, right?”

Having retrieved the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, Gu Qing was no longer in a hurry and asked with interest.

“Indeed, in the Ancient Era, the rules of heaven and earth were complete, and one step could lead to eternal enlightenment.”

“The Ancient Era was also the most glorious and brilliant era of the Eternal Universe, with innate deities rampant and Immortal Emperors emerging endlessly.”

“But after the Ancient War, the rules of heaven and earth were shattered, the Great Dao receded, cutting off the opportunity to attain Immortal Emperor status. Immortal Kings could only rely on external objects, taking shortcuts to merge with the Dao, achieving Pseudo-Immortal Emperor status.”

“However, Pseudo-Immortal Emperors are not the same as Pseudo-Immortal Kings.”

“The Dao Fruit of a Pseudo-Immortal King merges with an Immortal King Artifact, proving a heterodox path, and thus they will be limited to this for life.”

“Pseudo-Immortal Emperors, also known as Half-Step Immortal Emperors, have a very complete Dao Fruit itself. After merging with an Immortal Emperor Artifact, they only take a further step, making it easier to break through to a true Immortal Emperor.”

“Some Quasi-Immortal Emperors didn’t even choose to merge with a magical treasure; they simply comprehended the Immortal Emperor Dao Rhyme and stepped into the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperors.”

Lin Zhao slowly explained.

Seeing Gu Qing listening attentively, nodding in response from time to time, Lin Zhao continued.

“Gu Qing, you might not know this, but many Divine Emperors and Immortal Emperors haven’t truly fallen, including the Lin family’s old ancestor whom you destroyed; he was the one who saved Lin Feng.”

“No wonder I couldn’t find him.” Gu Qing suddenly understood, then asked, “Then who is he, and what is his name?”

Lin Zhao chuckled, not answering, and said to himself, “Lin Feng has many fiancées, all true Daughters of Heaven with powerful backgrounds, and their cultivation is not weak at all; they are either Immortal Kings, Divine Kings, or Quasi-Immortal Emperors.”

“If it weren’t for your Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow intimidating them, you would have been dismembered by them long ago.”

“That’s too terrifying!” Gu Qing shook his head and sighed.

What is an invincible protagonist?

Lin Feng was exactly that.

He had an Immortal King protecting his Dao, and a Quasi-Immortal Emperor for a father.

He also had many powerful fiancées.

It was truly terrifying to ponder, even casually.

Fortunately, he had the system, which also provided a cheat, otherwise, encountering Lin Feng would likely mean certain death.

“So…”

“How about we shake hands and make peace?” Lin Zhao said with a smile.

“Do you recognize my Great Dao? Are you willing to destroy the Star God Sect with me?” Gu Qing retorted.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Lin Zhao, hearing this, shouted in an agitated and sharp tone.

He inherited the Star Lineage and had spent his entire life pursuing the supreme Star Great Dao.

Lin Zhao had always firmly believed that the Star Great Dao was the most powerful Great Dao, the only one that could transcend the Eternal Universe.

His elaborate schemes and enduring humiliation to obtain the Starry Sacred Mother’s inheritance were the strongest proof.

If he acknowledged Gu Qing’s Great Dao, then what would his Dao be? What would his countless years of pursuit amount to?

Without the Star Great Dao, he would have nothing; his life would be a joke.

Lin Zhao would rather die and completely perish than abandon his Dao.

“Facts prove that you and I are destined to be mortal enemies. In the struggle of the Great Dao, either you die or I perish!”

With that, Gu Qing drew the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow.

The Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow resonated with the universe, drawing upon its power, locking onto Lin Zhao, and pulling everything of Lin Zhao’s, including his hidden clones, divine soul, and blood, into an alternate dimension.

“Stop!”

“Gu Qing, Lin Feng’s fiancées have already arrived in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity. Once you shoot this arrow, you will surely die; they will not let you off.”

Lin Zhao had said so much earlier, not out of kindness to enlighten Gu Qing, but to make Gu Qing retreat in the face of difficulty.

In the vast and boundless universe, there were countless powerful individuals; they didn’t need to fight to the death, allowing others to reap the benefits.

As he spoke, Lin Zhao conjured the Tian Yu Divine Cauldron, frantically burning himself.

This Tian Yu Divine Cauldron was not the one from his previous life; it was a magical treasure he refined in this life, only at the Quasi-Immortal Artifact level, completely unable to block the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow.

“I actually hope they would be tough for once and fight me to the death, but do they dare?”

Gu Qing scoffed inwardly; if he shot this arrow, he could shoot several more.

Besides the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, Gu Qing also had the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror, a great killing weapon.

Even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor came, they would just be offering themselves up.

Gu Qing wished these women would make a move, but unfortunately, they lacked the courage; there were no fluctuations in the surrounding void.

Not even someone openly watching the show.

Thinking this, Gu Qing slowly drew the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow to a full moon, and a surging killing intent gathered.

“We have no grievances, why must we fight to the death? I can swear that I will no longer be your enemy from now on.”

Lin Zhao was locked onto by the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow; his divine soul was frozen, and his magic power was stagnant.

Only when truly facing the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow did he realize that it was countless times more terrifying than he had perceived.

Even if Lin Zhao miraculously survived, he would be crippled, and this great era of achieving Immortal Emperor status was destined to be unrelated to him.

“We have a struggle of the Great Dao, and even if we didn’t, encountering a pervert like you, neither male nor female, I would still kill you!”

Gu Qing drew the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow to a full moon. The moment he released it, the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow shot out, taking everything behind it.

The Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, carrying boundless killing intent, charged forward relentlessly towards Lin Zhao.

Boom!

The Tian Yu Divine Cauldron smashed towards the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow.

Lin Zhao then conjured three hundred and sixty flying swords, forming the Zhou Tian Star Sword Array.

As long as the Tian Yu Divine Cauldron could block the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow for a moment, he would be confident in escaping, and even have a chance to counter-kill Gu Qing.

However, the reality was beyond his expectations.

The Tian Yu Divine Cauldron, let alone blocking the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow for a moment, didn’t even last for an instant. The Tian Yu Divine Cauldron was as fragile as tofu, directly shattered by a single arrow from the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow.

The Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow continued its relentless charge, its killing momentum vast, crushing the Zhou Tian Star Sword Array.

“My life is over!”

Lin Zhao’s pupils dilated, his mind went blank, and he watched helplessly as the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow shattered his protective Daoist robe, his physical body, and his divine soul.

“Whoosh!”

Gu Qing retrieved the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, glanced around, shook his head, and returned to the Boundless Divine Sect.

All of Lin Zhao’s possessions, including his storage ring, were pulverized by the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow; not a single piece of loot survived.

However, Gu Qing’s efforts were not in vain; killing Lin Zhao, the system rewarded him with a Superior Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure and plundered 1.5 million units of his destiny.

This reward was comparable to killing a child of destiny… In the ethereal starry sky, terrifying killing intent permeated.

A moment later, spatial fluctuations appeared in the void, and several peerless figures emerged from the space.

Enveloped in mystic light, their true appearances were obscured.

“The Tian Yu Divine Cauldron… Is he really Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor?”

“Probably not. Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor is hailed as the most astonishing Immortal Emperor in history; he wouldn’t perish so easily.”

Immortal Emperors have twelve realms of cultivation.

Each realm is like a heaven and earth unto itself.

Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor, back then, at the second realm of Immortal Emperor, fought against two third-realm Immortal Emperors and one second-realm Immortal Emperor.

Although he ultimately perished, he also severely wounded his opponents.

That Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor could accomplish such a feat was already unparalleled.

While his cultivation realm among Immortal Emperors was not the highest, he was the most astonishing Immortal Emperor.

“It’s hard to say. Although Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor was exceptionally talented and had unfathomable methods, you all have witnessed the terror of the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, haven’t you?”

Upon these words, there was a moment of silence, and then someone exclaimed, “Exactly! Speaking of astonishing, who can compare to my little husband? Heavenly Cosmos Immortal Emperor perishing at the hands of my little husband can be considered a fitting end, not in vain of his lifetime of glory.”

“Oh, come on, it’s one thing to act crazy in the communication jade, but do you really want to rob the cradle?”

“Let’s go! This boring long life, only the communication jade can bring me a bit of joy.”
