Chapter 352: Chapter 254: The Ancient City of Life
This was the first time Gu Qingfeng had truly activated the power within the Great Saint Weapon after obtaining the Divine Emperor Tripod.
When he truly activated this treasure, what kind of power was truly hidden within it?
The moment the Divine Emperor Tripod was activated, an imposing figure seemed to materialize out of the void, holding an ancient tripod in his hand, pressing down on the world with the might of an unparalleled being.
The very next moment,
The Divine Emperor Tripod collided with the God Slaying Spear.
The two treasures clashed.
Instantly, a cataclysmic force erupted, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
The God Slaying Spear let out a mournful cry, as it was directly suppressed by the Divine Emperor Tripod, and the phantom that initially held the tripod dispersed abruptly.
In a single encounter,
The God Slaying Spear was defeated.
There was no other way around it.
Although the God Slaying Spear was a treasure no weaker than the Divine Emperor Tripod, the ones activating it were merely a group of Taoist Palace Realm Cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land—how could they compare with Gu Qingfeng?
If both were unmastered Great Saint Weapons, then the Divine Emperor Tripod might not necessarily have been able to do anything to the God Slaying Spear.
Now that the God Slaying Spear was without a master, while Gu Qingfeng controlled the Divine Emperor Tripod, suppressing the former was naturally an easy feat.
As Gu Qingfeng reached out his large hand, he wanted to completely suppress the God Slaying Spear, which sensed something was wrong and vibrated wildly and frantically, emitting sharp and icy bursts of light, seemingly trying to resist.
In the face of absolute power, all resistance appeared to be in vain.
“Saint Master, we are going!!”
Seeing the God Slaying Spear about to be suppressed, the faces of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land side changed drastically, several Taoist Palace Realm powers with resolute expressions directly chose to sacrifice themselves, their terrifying Essence Blood flowing into the spear.
With the nourishment of a large amount of Essence Blood, the God Slaying Spear’s sharpness surged violently, instantly breaking free from Gu Qingfeng’s suppressive control and unleashing a formidable power not inferior to the Divine Emperor Tripod’s.
Gu Qingfeng’s face remained cold.
“I’d like to see just how many of you there are to sacrifice!”
The Divine Emperor Tripod’s divine might surged, brutally striking down on the God Slaying Spear, once again suppressing the revived power of the Great Saint Weapon.
Witnessing this scene,
Qi Jun’s eyes were filled with rage.
If he had known earlier that Gu Qingfeng’s strength was so terrifying, he absolutely would not have chosen to confront him head-on.
Even if it was at the cost of the Holy Land’s face, it would have been worth it.
After all, even if the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land were able to repel the enemy after this battle, it would likely be gravely weakened.
A significant number of Taoist Palace Realm powerhouses would fall.
Not to mention the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, even other forces that were older and more powerful could not easily bear such a loss.
Whether it was during the End of Dharma Era or a time of great contention, Taoist Palace Realm cultivators were the true backbone of a power.
The End of Dharma needs no mention, where no Saints emerge, and the Dao Palaces are honored.
If it were a time of great contention, Taoist Palace Realm powerhouses would still be equally important, since more strong cultivators at this level would increase the likelihood of Saints emerging.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng suppress the God Slaying Spear, Qi Jun knew that the matter had reached this point, and the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land must use their true foundation, no matter the great cost.
Qi Jun crushed a Jade Talisman.
A terrifying aura suddenly rose from the forbidden ground of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land, and an ancient city emerged from the earth, standing tall in the void.
The ancient city was filled with a desolate, ancient aura, its marks of age not worn away, while upon its emergence, an abyssal and terrifying presence permeated the void.
Fu Shenjun’s voice came through to Gu Qingfeng.
“Mr. Gu, this is the City of Life, the place where ancient powerhouses sealed themselves. Now that the City of Life has appeared, I fear an ancient being from the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land is about to be resurrected.
Even though sealed for many years, their strength is not to be underestimated!”
Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained unchanged.
He looked toward the City of Life in front of him, which was filled with an ancient and decaying aura.
The City of Life shook, a hand stretching out from within, as if wielding the infinite power of the universe, pressing down on Gu Qingfeng.
The sun and the moon lost their light!
The power behind this strike had already surpassed the level of the Dao Palace Realm, even breaking through the limits of the Saint Realm.
Facing this palm, Gu Qingfeng felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and the power of blood and qi in his body boiled suddenly.
Gu Qingfeng roared angrily, his right fist thundering out to collide with that hand.
A world-shattering disturbance spread in all directions, and then Gu Qingfeng was seen shaking, involuntarily taking several steps back.
A voice of surprise emanated from within the City of Life.
“To withstand a palm from me without being a Saint, your strength is indeed impressive. Now leave, and I shall pretend this never happened!”
The power sleeping within the ancient city did not show itself but spoke through the City of Life to Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng said coldly, “If you want me to leave, you’ll have to see if you have the ability to make it so. Hiding in the City of Life shows no skill—come out and battle me!”
He drew the Evil Slayer Blade.
Gu Qingfeng activated the Ancient Heavenly Blade to its utmost limit.
And it seemed as though the yin and yang of heaven and earth had been completely split apart.
The blade struck, shattering a hundred miles of void, its bloody blade wind harshly cleaving towards the City of Life. The latter summoned a divine light, trying to block the force of the attack.
