Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 193: Lu Ya Alarmed

Heaven City:

In a large plaza, Yanxuan led many angels, looking coldly at the bound people there.

The ones bound were none other than Gu Qin, Meng Tai, and three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards.

“A group of Golden Core Realm cultivators? Golden Core Realm? There are only ten-odd Nascent Soul Realm cultivators among you, and you dare to barge into Heaven City?” Yanxuan looked coldly at the bound Gu Qin and others.

“Young Master Yanxuan, do forgive us. We took a wrong turn.” Gu Qin seemed to be pleading for mercy.

“Took a wrong turn? Haha! Did you think that I would not recognize you, Gu Qin?!” Yanxuan said coldly.

Gu Qin’s expression changed as he looked at Yanxuan.

“How could I not know the Han Royal Dynasty’s people? You are Gu Qin, and you must be Meng Tai, the Han Royal Dynasty’s Embroidered Uniform Guard’s envoy commander, right? These three thousand must be the Han Royal Dynasty’s Embroidered Uniform Guards, right?” Yanxuan sneered.

“You…you…how did you know?” Gu Qin’s expression turned uncertain.

“Humph! How did I know? I don’t just know who you are; I even know that you recently went to plead with the dragon race’s prime, Ao Tianhuang, to help you rescue Gu Hai. However, he could not spare the time to help you, as he is at war with us, so you caused a huge commotion at Ao Tianhuang’s dragon race military camp. After that, you disappeared. Following that, you sneaked into my territory. Hah! Hahaha!” Yanxuan sneered.

“You-you know everything?” Gu Qin looked appalled.

“The Qian Nation is coming to attack us, and we have the Han Nation’s Gu Hai? Hah! How can this young master not properly investigate you? However, I did not expect you to have such courage. To think that you dare to try and rescue Gu Hai with a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators?” Yanxuan said coldly.

“How is my imperial father now?” Gu Qin asked anxiously.

“Your imperial father? Hah! He is in Heaven City. However, I will not let you meet him! Lock them up in prison!” Yanxuan commanded coldly.

“Yes!” a group of angels answered and brought Gu Qin and the others away.

“First Young Master, why are we sparing them?” an angel asked in confusion as he watched Gu Qin and the others being escorted away.

“Humph! They are just a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators. Killing them would stain my hands. Hah! Wouldn’t it be better to kill them in front of Gu Hai?” Yanxuan said with a cold smile.

“First Young Master is wise! That Gu Hai would be in so much pain that he would wish for death!” an angel guffawed at the side.

In Heaven City’s prison:

Gu Qin, Meng Tai, and the others had their cultivations sealed and thrown into an ordinary valley. Now, they seemed like ordinary people.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded Gu Qin and Meng Tai, concealing the two from the distant guards.

“Crown Prince, we made it in?” Meng Tai appeared somewhat excited.

“Indeed. I asked Ao Tianhuang to seal our cultivations to make us appear harmless. Heaven City is tightly guarded. Since there is no way to sneak in, we might as well let Yanxuan capture us. Yanxuan is currently in charge of Heaven City. If he wanted to kill us, we could flee with the cooperation of the dragon race elders we made arrangements with. If he did not kill us, he would bring us into Heaven City. We managed to make it in now.” Some satisfaction flashed in Gu Qin’s eyes.

“We managed to enter, but the angels further sealed our cultivations,” Meng Tai said with a frown.

“That does not matter as long as we have entered,” Gu Qin said.

“Oh?”

“Prime Ao, we have brought in a strand of your will. Shouldn’t you unseal our cultivations first?” Gu Qin said.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a dragon whisker flew out from Gu Qin’s clothes. Then, it transformed into Ao Tianhuang’s translucent figure.

“A projection?” Meng Tai narrowed his eyes.

“Crown Prince Gu Qin, excellent plan!” Ao Tianhuang’s projection said with a smile.

Whoosh!

Ao Tianhuang’s projection undid the seals on them with a wave of his hand.

Boom!

Energy immediately flowed out from everyone.

“Withdraw your auras!” Gu Qin shouted.

Buzz!

The three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately withdrew their auras, preventing anyone from noticing that their seals had been lifted.

Rumble…!

Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above the prison.

“Oh no! The Supreme Genesis laid ritual arrays in the city against my projection sneaking in. I cannot remain. Crown Prince Gu Qin, it’s up to you now!” Ao Tianhuang’s projection called out.

“Prime Ao, please follow the plan we laid out earlier. Let’s begin. Nothing must go wrong, please,” Gu Qin said seriously.

“Don’t worry!” Ao Tianhuang nodded.

Buzz!

Ao Tianhuang’s projection turned back into a dragon whisker and fell to the ground.

The dark clouds in the sky instantly vanished.

Gu Qin carefully picked up the dragon whisker and slowly made his way to the prison’s entrance with the Han Nation’s three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards.

“What are you doing? Are you trying to resist?” the group of angel guards said while glaring.

Gu Qin narrowed his eyes.

Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish!

A number of Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately shot forward, moving at an extreme speed as they took the heads of many angels. They left only three alive but gagged and restrained them.

“You…you…you…aren’t you all in the Golden Core Realm? How?!” a two-winged angel exclaimed.

“Where are Gu Hai and Ao Shun locked up?” Gu Qin looked coldly at that angel.

“Heavenly Palace Realm? How can this be possible?! How can this be possible?! Aren’t you all in the Golden Core Realm? You are all actually Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators?” That angel gaped at these people in shock.

“Speak!” Gu Qin said with a cold gaze.

“I-I-I don’t know! I don’t know!” that angel exclaimed.

Phish!

Gu Qin raised his weapon and swung it down, instantly killing that angel. This immediately scared the remaining two angels. However, these angels indeed did not know.

Finally, Meng Tai killed them as well.

“Looks like we have to search. Half of the Embroidered Uniform Guards will continue to search for His Majesty and Ao Shun with me. Meng Tai, you bring the other half with you to take care of the ritual arrays in the area. Move quickly!” Gu Qin instructed seriously.

“Yes!” Meng Tai answered.

Whoosh!

The three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards sprang into action.

Animal Path Secret Realm:

Surging crimson mist covered Gu Hai’s surroundings. Although his size had not changed after killing forty thousand animal spirit deities, remaining at one hundred sixty-three meters tall, he now possessed overwhelming Divine Energy. Everywhere his weapon reached, animal spirit deities fled in fear. The slaughter caused the Great Loach Deity’s and Lu Ya’s expressions to change dramatically.

Where did this monster come from? The more he kills, the stronger he becomes? Furthermore, he can’t be killed?

Although the Life Ender Saber sent Gu Hai only a thousandth of the Divine Energy it consumed, this portion was refined Divine Energy, the purest Divine Energy.

When the animal spirit deities killed each other and consumed each other’s deities, most of the Divine Energy got wasted. This was not the case for Gu Hai.

Gu Hai grew stronger the more he killed. His body felt replete with power.

Below, Old Wu and the human war deities clenched their fists in excitement. The ordinary humans held their hands together and prayed that nothing would happen to Gu Hai.

“Great Deity Lu Ya, have you not killed the old loach yet? I’ll help you!” Gu Hai shouted in a deep growl.

Boom!

Crimson fog surrounded Gu Hai as he charged at the Great Loach Deity.

The Great Loach Deity’s eyelids twitched wildly. Lu Ya’s eyelids, likewise, twitched wildly as he thought, He is here to help me?

Both the Great Loach Deity and Lu Ya could sense that the person with crimson mist around him grew stronger the more he killed. It seemed like he consumed the animal spirit deities’ Divine Energy as he killed them.

“This is impossible. Even the Six Paths Immortal cannot do this. How could he? Has he been hiding his strength?” Lu Ya narrowed his eyes.

However, it is fortunate that this monster has a grudge against the Great Loach Deity. I can ally with him.

“Are you all dead? Why are you not going to kill him?” the Great Loach Deity roared furiously.

“I-I-I—”

“Ancestor, he is a demon! He is a demon!”

“We are no match for him!”

The animal spirit deities yelled in horror.

The animal spirit deities do not dare to attack. However, if you don’t do it, are you going to let me face this monster and Lu Ya alone?

“Humph! If you don’t go, I will start chanting the Explosion Curse!” the Great Loach Deity said coldly.

“An animal spirit technique, the Explosion Curse?” Lu Ya’s face sank.

“I have placed the Explosion Curse on all of you. If you don’t want to die, go and kill him!”

The Great Loach Deity started chanting under its breath, apparently using some strange curse language. “[email protected]#¥%……&!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten-odd animal spirit deities exploded when the Great Loach Deity completed the curse. The other animal spirit deities started swelling up, suffering extreme pain.

“Ah! Don’t! Don’t! I’ll go! I’ll go!”

“The Explosion Curse can kill one with just a thought; death is assured. Fighting that monster might not mean death!”

“Kill him! He must be tired after fighting for so long already! Kill!”

All the animal spirit deities charged towards Gu Hai, creating a loud commotion.

Upon seeing the overwhelming number of animal spirit deities charging over, Gu Hai revealed a cold smile. Had they been so ferocious earlier, he might not have been a match for them. However, he had already killed forty thousand animal spirit deities and grown significantly stronger. Coming at this time would only lead to death.

Boom!

Black fog suddenly billowed into the sky when Gu Hai swung his saber. Countless skulls within the black fog gnawed on the injured animal spirit deities.

“Argh!”

“Kill!”

“Don’t eat me!”

“Great Loach Deity, save me!”

The chaotic massacre continued. The crimson mist around Gu Hai grew denser and vaster, allowing him to kill even faster.

Now, it was no longer skeletons falling out of the air. Instead, Gu Hai shattered them in the air. Bone shards now blasted out in all directions and fell like rain.

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Soon, half of the sixty thousand animal spirit deities had died. After Gu Hai killed another twenty thousand-odd, the remaining thousands of animal spirit deities fled in horror in all directions.

The animal spirit deities no longer cared about the Explosion Curse. That monster in the crimson fog was even more horrifying.

The Great Loach Deity and Lu Ya goggled.

“Great Deity Lu Ya, I’ll assist you!” Gu Hai growled as he rushed over.

Lu Ya’s eyelids twitched wildly. That was close to one hundred thousand animal spirit deities in total. Although it believed it was more incredible than all the animal spirit deities, it still did not think it could kill that many in such a short time.

Who is this monster?

Lu Ya aimed the Immortal Slaying Calabash, the Vine World Calabash, and the True Flame Calabash at Gu Hai and hesitated.

This novel is available on Hosted Novel.

The Great Loach Deity goggled, showing bloodshot eyes.

“How can this be? This great deity has been in this world for so many years, but I have never seen you before. Who are you?” The Great Loach Deity charged at Gu Hai with a ferocious expression.

Now, Lu Ya narrowed its eyes and stopped attacking. It watched as the Great Loach Deity charged at Gu Hai. However, it kept its guard up against the monster in the crimson fog instead of the Great Loach Deity.

For some reason, Lu Ya suddenly sensed danger. However, this ominous feeling did not come from the Great Loach Deity but from the monster in the crimson fog.
