Chapter 88 Trump Card

These words fell into the Void Realm.

Seventeen experts of the Immortal Emperor Realm felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in their minds.

Lin Qingyue?

Half an incense stick ago, these three words appeared on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

An Early Stage Immortal King not even a hundred years old, who had suppressed the Devil Emperor's son, Li Tianqiong.

It was this person.

Now, the Human Race Imperial Preceptor, Jiang Wanyin, this existence in the God Realm, had opened her mouth to ask about this name.

The Thunder Emperor rolled his eyes, using his peripheral vision to look at that figure in white, his heart beating very fast.

"Is Lin Qingyue in the hands of that brat?" the Thunder Emperor thought to himself. "How could the second-ranked Prodigy on the Ten Thousand Races Talent List be... no, wait, how could she be controlled by him?"

The Star Immortal Emperor's eyes were filled with shock.

"Wait..."

The White Bone Demon Emperor transmitted a voice message in a hoarse tone into the Sea of Consciousness of the several Immortal Emperors. "Did you hear that? Her tone... could that Lin Qingyue be her Disciple? Is this Human Race Imperial Preceptor, Lin Qingyue's Master?"

This thought made all the experts of the Emperor Realm who knew about it feel a chill in their hearts.

If that was the case, then it made sense.

Why a Human Race woman had such great background, and why Jiang Wanyin would descend a Divine Sense Incarnation into this broken Lower Realm.

But what scared them the most was that the Imperial Preceptor's successor was now in the hands of this monster, who was less than a hundred years old in bone age, yet was already a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor?

In the center of the storm.

Jiang Wanyin's gaze seemed capable of seeing through the Soul. Gu Heng was not afraid, just expressionless.

"Lin Qingyue?" Gu Heng recited these three words, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

He met Jiang Wanyin's gaze and spoke, his voice echoing between heaven and earth. "She is indeed with me."

Jiang Wanyin's eyes narrowed, and the surrounding blood-colored sky darkened by several degrees.

Gu Heng said slowly, "However, she is living very well right now. Every day, apart from Cultivating, she is contemplating the Dao. There are no messy schemes, nor shackles of being unable to act for oneself.

She eats well and sleeps soundly, and her cultivation has just broken through to the Immortal King Realm. So... there is no need for you, this high and mighty Revered Master, to worry."

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene turned freezing cold.

The Thunder Emperor was so scared he closed his eyes.

Crazy.

This brat was absolutely crazy.

That was the Imperial Preceptor. Who in the myriad worlds dared to speak to her in such a lecturing tone?

Even the Demon God Emperor, who was also in the God Emperor Realm, had to be three parts wary when fighting her.

This brat not only admitted to detaining the other party's Disciple, but also scolded the other party to her face for being an unqualified Master.

Li Tiantu buried his head deep into the Void Realm, afraid that Jiang Wanyin, in a fit of rage, would wipe out all living beings within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

Gu Heng looked calm on the surface, even a bit arrogant, but his brain was turning rapidly.

He knew clearly that although he had relied on the System to directly rise to the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor, and could sweep away seventeen Immortal Emperors in this Lower Realm, facing the Divine Sense Incarnations of the two God Realm existences, Jiang Wanyin and Di Shitian, he would definitely not benefit from a head-on collision.

The understanding and application of Law by these two people had already exceeded the limits of their Realm. He must find a way to break the situation.

Gu Heng's gaze swept across the scene, passing over the trembling Myriad Races Geniuses, and landed on the edge of the Void Realm.

The Old Dragon King was sprawled out on his back in the Void Realm.

Seeing this unreliable loach, the events that just happened in that purple-gold Small World flashed through Gu Heng's mind.

That group of Mahayana Stage old dragons knelt on the ground, crying out about the "Dragon God Domain", the "three-thousand-year period", and the "return of The Chosen Son". At that time, the Old Dragon King was even mocked by the Myriad Races Geniuses.

"Since this old loach could make that group of sinner dragons guarding the ancient array kneel and worship, the Karma on him must not be small.

Didn't he claim to be The Chosen Son? Whether it's true or false, I'll know after testing it in a moment."

A gleam flashed in the depths of Gu Heng's eyes, and he had an idea.

In the sky,

Jiang Wanyin, after hearing Gu Heng's words, did not fly into a rage as everyone expected.

Instead, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes that had witnessed the ages of eternity.

"Hehe..."

Jiang Wanyin laughed.

She and Gu Heng had never met; this was the first time the two of them had truly confronted each other.

But she did not expect that this youth, relying only on the clues from Lin Qingyue and her single sentence, could immediately guess her identity.

This level of intelligence, this courage to still joke under the pressure of the God Realm, made a glimmer of light flash in Jiang Wanyin's eyes.

"You are very smart, and very courageous."

Jiang Wanyin stepped on the fragments of the Void Realm. "A Mortal Realm Cultivator less than a hundred years old, able to reach this step, and even able to see through my Karma.

You are hiding a great secret that even I cannot see through."

She raised her finger, her fingertips playing with a wisp of Law light, her tone calm.

"I cherish talent. Lin Qingyue is in your hands, I can ignore that for now. Now, I will give you two choices."

"First, come back to the God Realm with me; I can ensure you do not die and give you great Opportunity. Second..."

"Die here, and together with this Realm, turn into nothingness. Which one do you choose?"

As these two choices were thrown out, the seventeen Immortal Emperors below were all shaken in their hearts.

Was Jiang Wanyin feeling a desire to cherish talent?

Or did she covet the Opportunity on this brat that could allow someone to become an Emperor in a hundred years? If this brat really followed Jiang Wanyin, would there be any place for them to speak in the Immortal Realm in the future?

When the atmosphere was stretched to its tightest, on the other side, Di Shitian, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Jiang Wanyin, you are really too greedy."

Di Shitian's blood-colored demonic pupils stared at Jiang Wanyin. "The Divine Court's supreme treasure, the heaven-reaching tower, is right before us. You woman, instead of thinking about snatching the treasure from me, are going to solicit a brat from the Lower Realm?"

Di Shitian was full of mockery. He felt that Jiang Wanyin could not distinguish between what was important and what was not.

How could a pawn, no matter how talented, compare to the heaven-reaching tower which concerned the Luck of the Divine Court?

While laughing, he casually swept his demonic sense towards the Youth in White who was being solicited by Jiang Wanyin.

At first, he just regarded Gu Heng as a slightly stronger ant.

But when his demonic sense penetrated the disguise on Gu Heng's body and touched the pure and perfect Immortal Emperor Origin within Gu Heng's body.

Di Shitian's laughter stopped.

His blood-colored demonic pupils constricted violently, and an unprecedented shock erupted within his pupils.

"This aura..."

Di Shitian's Divine Sense Incarnation fluctuated violently, and the surrounding sea of blood and demonic thunder churned like boiling water.

"Mid-stage Immortal Emperor?"

He stared fixedly at Gu Heng, as if he had seen the collapse of the myriad worlds.

What shocked him was not the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, but the traces of life within this aura.

It was too young...

"An Immortal Emperor... less than a hundred years old?" Di Shitian was truly shocked.

Even he, who was born in the God Realm, had a noble Bloodline, and was known as the strongest talent of the Human Race in billions of epochs, had spent a full ten thousand years to step into the Immortal Emperor Realm back then. He had fought countless times in mountains of corpses and seas of blood before barely attaining the Dao.

And this brat before him...

Less than a hundred years?

What the hell?

"No..." A thought flashed through Di Shitian's mind, and his gaze immediately became greedy.

"That bitch Jiang Wanyin really has a sharp eye. This brat must be hiding a greater secret than the heaven-reaching tower. If this kind of Opportunity, which can allow a Mortal to become an Emperor in a hundred years, were obtained by me..."

Di Shitian's original intention of coming just for the heaven-reaching tower completely changed at this moment.

He turned his head abruptly, no longer looking at the heaven-reaching tower that had been thrown into the ruins, but instead placed all his killing intent and greed onto Gu Heng.

"Jiang Wanyin, you want to swallow it alone? Dream on." Di Shitian roared, and the blood-colored demonic thunder turned into countless chains, directly sealing off all escape routes around Gu Heng.

"I want the heaven-reaching tower, and I must also capture this boy."

Di Shitian gradually became excited. "He carries such a great secret that defies the Heavenly Dao; it really makes one curious. I will take him back to the Demon God Realm and dismantle him inch by inch to see."

In an instant,

the Incarnations of the two God Realm experts formed a standoff in the Void Realm over Gu Heng.

The seventeen Immortal Emperors caught in the middle were already numb.

They once thought they were the chess players of this world, but now they found they didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.

The two big shots didn't hesitate to tear their faces off just to snatch that young man whom they had looked down upon earlier.

Facing the pincer attack of two wills capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Gu Heng stood on the spot without retreating half a step. Instead, he reached out and gently brushed his robes. He raised his eyes, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Want to capture me?"

He slightly lifted his chin. "Let's see if you have the ability."

Once Gu Heng said this, the air between heaven and earth instantly froze.

"Arrogant." Di Shitian laughed in extreme anger. He had lived for so long and had never seen a Cultivator dare to speak to him like this. Even though he was only a Divine Sense Incarnation, crushing an Immortal Emperor to death was no harder than crushing an ant.

Jiang Wanyin also frowned slightly. She felt that Gu Heng was a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth; although his talent was good, being too rigid made one prone to breaking.

"It seems... you still have some trump card?"

Di Shitian looked at Gu Heng coldly. "I would like to see what kind of waves a Lower Realm ant like you can stir up."

He was not in a hurry to strike, just coldly watching Gu Heng, wanting to see what methods this Prodigy who became an Emperor in a hundred years was hiding.

Was it pulling out some forbidden artifact dropped by the Divine Court? Or burning his Origin to summon some ancient remnant Soul?

Everyone was watching.

Gu Heng's expression was calm, and he took another step forward unhurriedly.

Shrinking the ground into an inch, his figure blurred.

When he appeared again, he was no longer in the center of the storm, but at the edge of the Void Realm on the outskirts of the ruins.

There lay an old dragon of the True Immortal Realm who was playing dead.

The Old Dragon King had originally stuffed his head deep into the Void Realm, begging the gods fighting in the sky not to notice him.

Suddenly,

he felt a familiar aura appear beside him.

The Old Dragon King's whole body stiffened, and he quietly opened one eye, meeting Gu Heng's pair of smiling eyes.

The seventeen Immortal Emperors, the two God Realm Incarnations, and several thousand Myriad Races Geniuses, were all watching with extreme confusion, even a bit of bewilderment.

Gu Heng slowly squatted down, reached out, and patted the Old Dragon King's shoulder. He took a breath, his tone solemn, seemingly with a hint of tragic heroism as if entrusting his life, and said with a laugh,

"From here on, I'm counting on you."

The wind blew, and a wailing sound echoed in the Void Realm.

The Old Dragon King: "???"

The Old Dragon King couldn't care about the heaven-destroying pressure in the sky and looked at his Master with a horrified face.

"Mas-Master... you... what did you say?" the Old Dragon King stuttered. "You want me to..."

He looked down at his broken dragon body that could only exert the strength of the True Immortal Realm at most, and then looked up at the two big shots in the sky who could wipe out this Realm by just blowing a breath.

"Please don't mess with your old servant."

The Old Dragon King screamed in his heart, "This old servant is just a piece of Trash in the True Immortal Realm; I can't even beat the group of Immortal Emperors kneeling above, and you are counting on me..."

In the Void Realm not far away.

The Thunder Emperor, Li Tiantu, and the other Immortal Emperors, who were kneeling on the ground and struggling to lift their heads, saw this scene and their mouths twitched.

"Is this brat... scared crazy by the Demon God Emperor's pressure?"

The White Bone Demon Emperor's Soul fire in his eye sockets dimmed. "The trump card he spoke of... is counting on a True Immortal Realm loach?"

The Star Immortal Emperor was also speechless; he had thought Gu Heng could pull out some divine object to turn the tables, but it was just this?

Just now, this old loach had shouted below that he was a Chosen Son of the Dragon Clan, and they had already mocked him once. Now, this brat was actually treating this loach as a life-saving straw?

In the sky.

Di Shitian was stunned for a moment, blank for a few breaths.

Then, a deafening burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahahahahaha."

"I thought you, this Prodigy, had some earth-shattering trump card that could make me think highly of you. But in the end... you are counting on a True Immortal Realm piece of Trash who isn't even fully sane?"

Di Shitian looked at the Old Dragon King with disdain. "A Lower Realm loach with impure Bloodline, this is your backing? What a joke."

Jiang Wanyin watched this scene below, her brows also slightly furrowed.

She did not believe that a person who could see through her layout and Cultivate to the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor in a hundred years would be a madman. But the scene before her was indeed absurd to the extreme.

"Since you are obsessed and refuse to repent, then I will fulfill your wish and crush you, along with your ridiculous trump card, together."

Di Shitian lost his patience.

He stopped talking nonsense and slowly raised that heaven-covering demonic hand. The Law of Destruction gathered in his palm.

"Die."

Di Shitian pressed down with a palm.

"It's over, it's over, it's over. This old servant is really going to become dragon meat paste this time." The Old Dragon King felt the unstoppable aura of death above his head, scared so that his dragon scales stood on end, and instinctively wanted to run. But he found that the surrounding space had been locked, and he couldn't move anything.

In this extreme life-and-death desperation.

Gu Heng still did not make a move. He just stood quietly beside the Old Dragon King, hands behind his back, looking deep into the Old Dragon King's body with deep eyes.

"Between life and death, there is great terror, but also great Opportunity.

Old loach, since you have accepted that Karma, let me see just how hard the thing behind you really is."

Gu Heng thought to himself.

Just at the moment when that Law of Destruction was about to completely wipe them out.

"No..."

Jiang Wanyin's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she looked at a certain part of the Void Realm at the very bottom of the God-Falling Abyss.

"Crack..."

A faint cracking sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Under the stimulation of the Old Dragon King being threatened by death, an ancient Restriction that had been sealed for countless epochs shattered with a bang.

"Hum——"

A vast and ancient aura rushed out from the Old Dragon King's body, surging against the nine heavens.

The beam of light instantly tore open the dome of the broken Lower Realm.

"What is that?"

A hint of horror appeared in Di Shitian's blood-colored demonic pupils.

The sky had changed.

A sea of stars, older than Chaos and deeper than the starry sky, came into view.

At the end of this sea of stars.

A pair of eyes slowly opened.

That was a pair of golden pupils so large that they could not be measured. A sea of stars flowed within the pupils, and an absolute majesty that surpassed the Heavenly Dao slowly descended from within.

When these golden pupils hung down from the depths of the Realm and cast their gaze upon this Lower Realm.

The time of the entire Original Realm seemed to have stopped at this moment.

"Thump."

Behind the crowd,

the Dragon Clan Genius Han Yuan, who had just been mocking the Old Dragon King, suddenly felt his knees go weak and collapsed to the ground.

The true dragon Bloodline within his body was wailing frantically.

Under the pressure of this gaze, Di Shitian's six-winged demonic shadow flashed a hint of wariness in its eyes,

"Dragon God Domain... Ancestor?"

Jiang Wanyin's brows gently furrowed, "This old loach... is actually a direct Bloodline of the Dragon God Domain? And it even triggered the Ancestor's will to descend in person?"
