Chapter 766: Piercing the Immortal God King
Having contemplated the Past Scripture for half a month, Champion Marquis finally traced back all his past lives and recovered all his memories.
He emptied his mind, used his Primordial Spirit to reflect upon the void, and entered a mysterious state of ethereal clarity.
Then, Yu Liancheng discovered that there was a black mark within his Primordial Spirit, and it was not truly perfect and flawless.
The black mark bound his Primordial Spirit like shackles, preventing him from practicing Daoist arts.
This had been left behind by the Qian Emperor Yang Pan in years past.
As Yu Liancheng's mind stirred, the black mark instantly collapsed, dissipated, and ceased to exist.
This restraint that had plagued Champion Marquis for over a decade was, to him, no more than dust.
Without the black mark, given Yu Liancheng's vast accumulation, practicing Daoist arts was truly simple, and he could even easily surpass the Ghost Immortal realm or even survive several Thunder Tribulations.
But he did not do so; instead, he cast his gaze into the void: "Immortal God King, you are the leader of the Five Ancient God Kings. Since you have already come, why bother with the concealment and skulking?"
Xianghu King and White Ape King watched Yu Liancheng from afar.
They only felt that this person was transcendent and refined, much like a Transcendent Immortal.
With their hundreds of years of memory and cultivation, they did not know there was such a person in the world.
And when Yu Liancheng spat out the four words "Immortal God King," they both frowned, slightly puzzled, as they had never heard this name before.
The old fox Tu Lao, who followed behind the two, showed a hint of contemplation. Tu Lao guarded millions of scrolls, and in some books recording ancient secrets, the words "Immortal God King" would occasionally appear, but they were always treated with deep taboo, as if the author was deeply fearful of this existence and dared not write much about it.
When Yu Liancheng's words fell, Xianghu King and White Ape King both felt an unprecedented, massive pressure surging from the void. An invisible and intangible stance radiated outward, turning into surging angry waves and erupting volcanic magma within a few breaths; the entire world became turbulent because of this stance.
"Brat, who are you, to dare disrupt my plans and occupy the body of Champion Marquis?"
A desolate and ancient voice rang out, devoid of any emotion, yet it made one feel fear and despair from the depths of their heart, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth sinking.
"I am Yu Liancheng." Yu Liancheng stood with his hands behind his back, a calm and unhurried smile on his lips.
"Yu Liancheng, very good. You moved my chess piece; you deserve to die. But if you are willing to submit to me and work for me, I can give you the most powerful strength, allowing you to do whatever you want and traverse the world." The Immortal God King's voice carried both majesty and temptation, making one unconsciously want to obey and submit.
"Haha." Yu Liancheng could not help but laugh out loud: "If you could do whatever you wanted and traverse the world, you wouldn't be unable to even protect your own chess piece. Since you cannot even do as you please and traverse the world, how can you talk about giving me the most powerful strength? Do you think I am an idiot, or are you too much of an idiot?"
"I am the Immortal God King, how dare you speak to me like this!?"
The voice was suddenly furious, and a vast will swept out in all directions. Invisible power surged forth, whipping up a storm in the universe, shattering and exploding stones, uprooting trees, and raising dozens of feet of earth waves. Xianghu King and the others felt their minds buzzing, as if thunder and lightning were exploding in their heads.
Yu Liancheng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone mocking: "I give you face by calling you Immortal God King; if I didn't give you face, I'd call you a death-row prisoner. A death-row prisoner locked up for tens of thousands of years, do you really think you are a Yang God or have achieved Shattering the Vacuum? I am standing right here, show me what you can do, you trash, heh."
He knew that he was facing the leader of the Five Ancient God Kings, the Immortal God King, known as the "Embodiment of the Dao," who was a peerless powerhouse who had achieved Shattering the Vacuum from birth.
At his peak, even the most ancient and mysterious Emperor Changsheng could not kill him.
And Champion Marquis was the Immortal God King's chess piece, a product replicated and twisted from the Central World's 'Qi King' Xu Wuyi.
Now, the Immortal God King was sealed by Emperor Changsheng inside the Immortal Monument, which was known as the "Mother of the Five Elements, Source of All Origins."
Since that was the case, what was there to fear?
By the time the Immortal God King could break free, it would be years later; by then, he would have surely survived eight or nine Thunder Tribulations, his physical body would be ever-changing, so why fear such an old antique?
The Immortal God King's voice suddenly went quiet.
The world was silent.
But everyone could feel that this was the silence before a storm.
Boom!!
Amidst an earth-shattering roar, the world seemed to face the apocalypse. The sky and clouds changed color, layers of clouds turned into vortices, and countless lightning bolts surged down, tearing the sky apart. Even the heavens seemed to press down layer by layer, as if collapsing. Under this powerful pressure, even existences like the Eight Great Demon Kings, Xianghu King and White Ape King, were terrified to the extreme, their minds uneasy. Tu Lao even knelt down directly, trembling.
"Yu Liancheng, you deserve to die!!"
A roar that tore the sky apart rang out, and countless air currents in the void condensed into a figure with a human head and a snake body, incomparably massive, filling the heavens and the earth.
As the Immortal God King's palm moved and grabbed through the air, the void air currents became violent, condensing from all sides; the void above, below, left, and right collapsed, and the vital energy went berserk, instantly freezing Yu Liancheng in the void, unable to move, as if he were a fly trapped in amber, eternally imprisoned.
Bang bang bang!!
However, in the very next moment, cracks appeared in this seal, and Yu Liancheng broke free from it.
At the same time, the Shangmang Divine Spear appeared in Yu Liancheng's hand, his Qi and Blood stirring the long sky like a pillar of wolf smoke. With a swing of the spear, it shook out millions of cold glints, each one a fatal strike, sweeping through the air.
In the blink of an eye, he was less than a hundred feet away from the Immortal God King.
But at this moment, the spear's momentum changed; those millions of cold star-like spear glints suddenly condensed into a single point, which seemed insignificant.
The next moment, this point, difficult for the naked eye to distinguish, had pierced into the Immortal God King's body.
With a "Boom," this condensed point exploded.
In an instant, the light grew intense, and the scorching air currents swept out like a tsunami, as if the sun had exploded.
Amidst a wail, the figure the Immortal God King had condensed from void air currents exploded, and the incomparably grand voice also carried a hint of weakness: "Yu Liancheng, the day I break out of the monument will be the day you die without a burial place."
"That is a line without any originality; my ears have grown calluses from hearing such things."
Yu Liancheng shook his head: "Next time I see you, I hope it is your true body, so I can kill you again! Every time I see you, I will kill you."
It was just trash talk; who couldn't do that?
This was a brilliant galaxy.
Standing in the galaxy was a giant stone monument, larger than some planets, presenting a square shape.
In the center of the stone monument emerged a void snake; his existence was like a giant "Dao" character in the center of the universe, manifesting the mystery of the universe and the wonder of the Dao. Powerful mana fluctuations radiated from his body, as if he could destroy stars, blind the sun and moon, and move mountains and fill seas with a casual wave. Even a Creator who had survived seven Thunder Tribulations could only tremble, unable to muster the thought of resistance.
This was the Immortal God King.
He represented the supreme "Dao."
Legend has it that the Saint who created characters in ancient times only created the "Dao" character after seeing the form of the Immortal God King.
"Yu Liancheng, Yu Liancheng, in five or six years at most, I will be able to refine the Immortal Monument. By then, unless you achieve the Yang God or Shattering the Vacuum, I will let you know what it means to say, 'The majesty of a God King cannot be offended'!!"
