Chapter 504 One Arrow Kills the Celestial Emperor of Heaven
"So that's how it is..." Lin Zhao felt complicated. It was truly a matter of timing and fate.
He was already so careful, preferring to carry manure rather than seek out the spirit of the artifact, all for fear of being exposed.
After enduring for so long, I finally couldn't hold back and made a mistake that I'll regret forever.
But it's too late to regret it now.
The most urgent task is to find the marker.
Gu Qing was able to catch up with him accurately, so he must have left a mark on him.
Lin Zhao's first suspicion was about the immortal gold ore given by the artifact spirit.
Immersing my divine sense into the storage ring, I found that the ore and immortal gold indeed bore Gu Qing's mark, which would be difficult to detect without careful examination.
Lin Zhao silently used his divine sense to search for himself, not missing a single hair.
No marker was found... Just as Lin Zhao was about to escape, he was locked onto by Gu Qing's divine sense, and the Heavenly Bow was ready to be fired.
He had no choice but to catch that arrow.
"call out!"
At that moment, the sound of an arrow piercing through the boundless void echoed through the air, and a long arrow fell into Gu Qing's hand.
Lin Zhao's face was contorted in anger. At this moment, he was extremely frustrated and wished he could slap himself twice.
It turns out that... after Gu Qing shot that arrow, he never put it back.
He kept missing the perfect opportunity to kill Gu Qing.
"There weren't any Quasi-Immortal Emperors in ancient times, were there?"
Having retrieved the God-Slaying Arrow, Gu Qing was no longer in a hurry and asked with great interest.
"Indeed, in ancient times, the rules of heaven and earth were perfect, and one could prove something eternally with just one step."
"The ancient era was also the most glorious and brilliant era in the eternal universe, with primordial gods running rampant and immortal emperors emerging one after another."
"But after the ancient war, the rules of heaven and earth were shattered, the Great Dao retreated, and the opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor was cut off. Immortal Kings could only rely on external objects and take shortcuts to achieve the Dao and become pseudo-Immortal Emperors."
"It's just that a pseudo-Immortal Emperor and a pseudo-Immortal King are different."
"The Dao Fruit of the Pseudo-Immortal King merged with the Immortal King's Artifact, proving the unorthodox path, and thus his life would be stuck there."
"A pseudo-Immortal Emperor, also known as a half-step Immortal Emperor, has a perfect Dao Fruit. After merging with an Immortal Emperor artifact, he only takes it a step further and it will be easier for him to break through to the true Immortal Emperor level."
“Some quasi-immortal emperors didn’t even choose to merge with the magic weapon; they simply comprehended the Dao of the Immortal Emperor and stepped into the quasi-immortal emperor realm.”
Lin Zhao explained slowly.
Seeing that Gu Qing was listening attentively and nodding in response from time to time, Lin Zhao continued.
“Gu Qing, you may not know this, but many God Emperors and Immortal Emperors have not truly perished. Even the Lin family patriarch you destroyed was the one who saved Lin Feng.”
"No wonder I couldn't find him." Gu Qing suddenly realized, and then asked, "Who is he, and what's his name?"
Lin Zhao chuckled lightly, but did not answer. Instead, he said to himself, "Lin Feng has many fiancées. They are all true beauties of heaven, with powerful backgrounds and their cultivation is by no means weak. They are either Immortal Kings or God Kings, or Quasi-Immortal Emperors."
"If it weren't for your God-Slaying Arrow intimidating them, you would have been torn to pieces by them long ago."
"This is terrifying!" Gu Qing shook his head and sighed.
What is an invincible protagonist?
Lin Feng is it.
He has a Celestial King protecting him, and a Quasi-Celestial Emperor as his father.
There are also many powerful fiancées.
It's terrifying to think about, and terrifying even to think about it superficially.
Fortunately, he had a system, which was also a cheat code; otherwise, if he had encountered Lin Feng, he would probably have only faced certain death.
"so……"
"How about we shake hands and make peace?" Lin Zhao said with a smile.
"Do you acknowledge my Dao? Are you willing to join me in destroying the Star God Cult?" Gu Qing countered.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao shouted angrily.
He inherited the Star Dao lineage and spent his life pursuing the supreme Star Dao.
Lin Zhao has always firmly believed that the Starry Sky Dao is the strongest Dao, the only Dao that can transcend the eternal universe.
His painstaking efforts and humiliation in trying to obtain the inheritance of the Star Mother are the most powerful proof of this.
If we acknowledge Gu Qing's Great Dao, then what is his Dao?
What does his pursuit over countless years amount to?
Without the Star Avenue, he will have nothing, and his life will be nothing but a joke.
Even if Lin Zhao dies and completely perishes, he will never give up his path.
"Facts have proven that you and I are destined to be mortal enemies. In the struggle for the Great Dao, it's either you or me who dies!"
After saying this, Gu Qing drew the Heavenly Bow to slay the god.
The Heavenly Bow resonated with the universe, drawing upon its power to lock onto Lin Zhao, pulling everything about him, including his hidden clones, soul, and blood, into another dimension.
"stop!"
"Gu Qing, Lin Feng's fiancée has arrived in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and is hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once this arrow is fired, you will surely die. They will not let you go."
Lin Zhao's words just now were not intended to help Gu Qing resolve her doubts, but rather to discourage Gu Qing from making a decision.
In the vast and boundless universe, there are countless powerful beings. There is no need for them to fight to the bitter end and let others benefit.
As he spoke, Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Universe Divine Cauldron and began to burn himself violently.
This Heavenly Universe Divine Cauldron is not the Heavenly Universe Divine Cauldron of his previous life, but a magic weapon he refined in this life. It is only at the quasi-immortal level and cannot stop the God-Slaying Arrow at all.
"I do wish they would stand up for themselves and fight me to the death, but would they dare?"
Gu Qing was disdainful; he could shoot several more arrows after he had already shot this one.
Besides the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, Gu Qing also possesses the Xuanhuo Treasure Mirror, a powerful weapon.
Even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to arrive, he would only be a casualty.
Gu Qing was eager for these women to make a move, but unfortunately they didn't have the guts. The surrounding void remained completely still.
There wasn't even a single person openly watching the show.
Thinking this, Gu Qing slowly drew back the Heavenly Bow and the God-Slaying Arrow, and a boundless killing intent gathered.
"We have no grudge against each other, why must we fight to the death? I can swear that I will never be your enemy again."
Lin Zhao was targeted by the God-Slaying Arrow, her soul was frozen, and her magic power stagnated.
When he finally faced the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, he realized that it was countless times more terrifying than he had imagined.
Even if Lin Zhao were to survive by sheer luck, he would be crippled, and this great era of proving the Dao and becoming an Immortal Emperor would be destined to be out of his reach.
"We have a struggle for the Great Dao, and even if we didn't, I would still kill a pervert like you who is neither male nor female!"
Gu Qing drew the Heavenly Bow to its full extent, and the instant he released it, the God-Slaying Arrow shot out, taking everything behind him with it.
The God-Slaying Arrow, carrying boundless killing intent, charged relentlessly towards Lin Zhao.
boom!
The Heavenly Cauldron crashed down on the God-Slaying Arrow.
Lin Zhao then summoned 360 flying swords, forming the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation.
If the Heavenly Universe Divine Cauldron can block the God-Slaying Arrow for even a moment, he is confident of escaping and may even have a chance to kill Gu Qing.
However, the reality was beyond his expectations.
The Heavenly Universe Divine Cauldron couldn't even withstand the God-Slaying Arrow for a moment, let alone a breath. It was as fragile as tofu and was shattered by the arrow.
The God-Slaying Arrow charged forward with unstoppable force, shattering the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation.
"My life is over!"
Lin Zhao's pupils dilated, his mind went blank, and he watched helplessly as the God-Slaying Arrow shattered his protective Taoist robe, his physical body, and his soul.
"call out!"
Gu Qing retrieved the God-Slaying Arrow, glanced at it, shook his head, and returned to the Boundless Divine Sect.
All of Lin Zhao's belongings, including his storage ring, were shattered by the God-Slaying Arrow; not a single piece of spoils survived.
However, Gu Qing's efforts were not in vain. After killing Lin Zhao, the system rewarded him with a high-grade innate spiritual treasure and plundered 1.5 million units of his luck.
This reward is comparable to killing a chosen one.
……
The empty starry sky was filled with a terrifying killing intent.
A moment later, spatial fluctuations appeared in the void, and several stunningly beautiful figures emerged from the space.
A mysterious light enveloped it, obscuring its true form.
"The Heavenly Cauldron... Is he really the Heavenly Immortal Emperor?"
"It shouldn't be. The Heavenly Emperor is known as the most amazing immortal emperor in history. He wouldn't fall so easily."
There are twelve realms of immortal emperors.
Each realm is like a new world.
Back then, the Celestial Emperor Tianyu, at the second level of Celestial Emperor, fought against two Celestial Emperors at the third level and one Celestial Emperor at the second level.
Although he ultimately perished, he severely damaged his opponent.
The Celestial Emperor Tianyu's ability to accomplish such a feat is unparalleled in the world.
Although his cultivation level was not the highest among the Immortal Emperors, it was the most astonishing among them.
"It's hard to say. Although the Celestial Emperor Tianyu is exceptionally talented and unpredictable, you have all witnessed the terror of the Heavenly Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, haven't you?"
After a moment of silence, someone exclaimed, "Indeed! When it comes to being amazing, who can compare to my little husband? The Heavenly Emperor Tianyu died at my little husband's hands, which can be considered a fitting death, and his lifelong reputation was well served."
"Come on, I'll let it go if you go crazy a little while sending messages, but do you really want to be an old cow eating young grass?"
"I'm leaving! This boring longevity is only brought me a little joy by the communication jade."
