Chapter 2202: s.p.a.cetime Prison!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

w.a.n.g Chong didn’t even need to use his full strength. All he did at the moment of impact was open a pa.s.sage to the depths of s.p.a.cetime. More than half of that terrifying ball of lightning was drained into the s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sage, and w.a.n.g Chong was able to disperse the rest of the energy.

A power that was intended to be used on mortal dynasties would not necessarily be effective on a Grotto Heaven expert.

Buzz!

In a flash of light, the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman winked out of existence while it was still tens of thousands of feet from the ground.

That terrifying strike had come and gone so quickly that the battlefield was eerily silent for a few moments.

Bang!

A heaven-shaking cheer came from the Great Tang side.

“King of Foreign Lands!”

The cheers resounded through the world.

Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian w.a.n.g Zhongsi, Tongluo Great General Abusi, former Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui, and Sa.s.sanid Great General Bahram all sighed in relief.

Though they served under the same country as w.a.n.g Chong and had an extremely close relationship with him, not even they knew about this secret of his.

Although w.a.n.g Chong had several clones, only one had ever appeared before all of them, and they had only learned about the clones when they had appeared.

As for this last w.a.n.g Chong, though he had been in the fortress this whole time, none of them had ever noticed his existence.

Without w.a.n.g Chong, Genesis Supreme would have dealt unthinkable damage to the army.

“Brat, you’re seeking death!”

No one was more shocked than Genesis Supreme by the disappearance of the ma.s.sive sphere of destructive lightning.

In the battle of the capital, w.a.n.g Chong’s strength had still been puny to a G.o.d like Genesis Supreme. w.a.n.g Chong had been able to destroy his physical body purely because of that Xiangliu Formation that Li Taiyi had left behind.

From a certain perspective, the one who had destroyed his physical body was not w.a.n.g Chong, but Li Taiyi.

But after a parting of three days, a gentleman had to be looked at in a new light. He had never imagined that w.a.n.g Chong would be able to comprehend the laws of s.p.a.cetime and advance to the Grotto Heaven realm in the s.p.a.ce of a few months.

But even so, Genesis Supreme was an existence who had lived for thousands of years, a G.o.d. He remained confident that w.a.n.g Chong, who had only recently broken into the Grotto Heaven realm, was no match for him.

Bang!

Genesis Supreme fiercely punched, and a moment later, golden-white Halos of s.p.a.cetime appeared, filling the air for tens of thousands of feet around him. These tens of thousands of Halos of s.p.a.cetime were packed with destructive s.p.a.cetime energy that could strike fear into anyone.

Buzz!

His eyes coldly flashed as those dazzling Halos of s.p.a.cetime shot at w.a.n.g Chong as if they had lives of their own.

These almost tangible Halos of s.p.a.cetime constantly resonated with power, and they were constantly changing shape as they wrapped themselves around w.a.n.g Chong’s limbs and torso. With a single thought from Genesis Supreme, the golden-white Halos of s.p.a.cetime formed a three-dimensional formation with w.a.n.g Chong as its core.

“An apprentice trying to show off to a master!”

Although w.a.n.g Chong had achieved astonishing progress, he had only shown the most basic ability to control s.p.a.cetime. There was a large gap between him and someone like Genesis Supreme, who had spent many years in the Grotto Heaven realm.

s.p.a.cetime Prison!

This was a ‘prison’ that Genesis Supreme had constructed from tens of thousands of Halos of s.p.a.cetime, a power unique to Genesis Supreme. Through the terrifying crushing and slicing properties of the Halo of s.p.a.cetime, he could tear his foes into tiny bits. This was one of the terrifying aspects of Genesis Supreme’s technique.

Those caught in Genesis Supreme’s s.p.a.cetime Prison would end up not leaving behind even the smallest sliver of flesh.

The Power of s.p.a.cetime was extremely complex, and it was no easy task to so precisely control Halos of s.p.a.cetime in such a small area. A great burden was placed on the user. Yet Genesis Supreme did it as easily as breathing.

This was one of the main reasons Genesis Supreme was ranked near the top of the Supremes.

Buzz!

But as those golden-white Halos of s.p.a.cetime converged on w.a.n.g Chong, he smiled and extended his right index finger, upon which an invisible energy began to radiate out from him.

Boom! Time seemed to stop as those Halos of s.p.a.cetime suddenly froze in the air, seemingly colliding with some invisible barrier.

“Genesis Supreme, you couldn’t kill me back then, let alone now!”

w.a.n.g Chong softly chuckled as he spoke to Genesis Supreme, and before Genesis Supreme could react, he fiercely punched.

“Mortal World Manifestation!”

As a thunderous voice bellowed, s.p.a.cetime ripples on par with Genesis Supreme’s erupted from w.a.n.g Chong’s right fist.

With a mighty bang, countless images began to appear behind w.a.n.g Chong: houses, pavilions, livestock, villages, birds, stars… All of these images overlapped on w.a.n.g Chong’s right fist, transforming into countless dark golden Halos of s.p.a.cetime. These Halos of s.p.a.cetime took on a bizarre form that Genesis Supreme had never seen in all of his long life, and with one strike, they shattered Genesis Supreme’s s.p.a.cetime Prison.

The golden-white halos that were a.s.saulting w.a.n.g Chong began to shatter in twos and threes before they could even get close.

“Impossible!”

Genesis Supreme trembled in shock. Not even w.a.n.g Chong’s obliteration of the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman had shocked him this much.

“What technique is this?”

At Genesis Supreme’s level, one possessed an inextinguishable soul, and physical bodies became like sets of clothes. But never in his long, long life had he witnessed such a bizarre sight.

It was possible to trace the learning paths of all Grotto Heaven realm experts. No—to be more precise, the Celestial G.o.d Organization was the forebear of all martial arts. Even someone as strong and talented as Li Xuantu had been at a disadvantage against Genesis Supreme.

But w.a.n.g Chong’s ability had completely overturned his understanding of the world. It was completely unlike any of the numerous techniques of the Celestial G.o.d Organization. Houses, pavilions, livestock, villages… what were these?

Genesis Supreme had not seen any Grotto Heaven realm expert manifest these things when they were using their abilities. It would be different if this were some worthless ability, but he happened to sense enormous potential in w.a.n.g Chong, a potential that left him deeply apprehensive.

w.a.n.g Chong had been in the Grotto Heaven realm for two months at most. If he had this level of strength right after breaking through, then once he was able to more thoroughly study it, not even Genesis Supreme dared to imagine how strong he would turn out!

But Genesis Supreme quickly got ahold of himself.

“If he’s not killed now, he will be a major problem in the future!”

An unprecedented killing intent welled up in Genesis Supreme’s mind.

Mortal dynasties, from their lofty sovereigns to their meek subjects, were all nothing but ants in the eyes of ‘G.o.ds’.

‘G.o.ds’ were able to control the people precisely because there had never been a mortal dynasty that could oppose the G.o.ds.

There had already been one Li Taiyi. A second could not be permitted.

“Seeking death!”

With a furious roar and a flash of light, Genesis Supreme stepped on a golden-white Halo of s.p.a.cetime and disappeared. A split-second later, Genesis Supreme appeared in his divine and majestic armor right in front of w.a.n.g Chong and punched at his face.

Bang!

The punch carried so much force that the fabric of s.p.a.cetime crumbled. And this time, Genesis Supreme’s fist had been infused with formidable s.p.a.cetime energy that sealed the surrounding s.p.a.cetime.

Only Grotto Heaven experts could deal with Grotto Heaven experts!

No one understood this more than Genesis Supreme. Pure strength could not threaten w.a.n.g Chong.

But to Genesis Supreme’s surprise, w.a.n.g Chong made no attempt to dodge.

“You came at just the right time! Genesis Supreme, we will see which one of us is better on this day!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s voice rang out through the world.

Boom! w.a.n.g Chong harnessed all his strength and punched back, his fist colliding with Genesis Supreme’s.

At the moment of impact, w.a.n.g Chong felt like he had punched a steel mountain, but a moment later, he unleashed a strength that was just as terrifying.

Boomboomboom!

A ma.s.sive shockwave rippled out from the point of impact, sending howling winds tearing through the battlefield. Hundreds of warhorses neighed in fright as they were swept off their feet and flung several hundred feet away.

After this exchange, w.a.n.g Chong and Genesis Supreme immediately broke away from each other.

“Twenty percent! No, only a gap of ten percent! This fight is winnable!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes shone with a dazzling light.

Through this simple exchange of punches, w.a.n.g Chong had been immediately able to determine the gap between him and Genesis Supreme.

The Celestial G.o.d Organization had a long history and formidable strength. Trying to fight against an ancient existence at peak power like Genesis Supreme would not be easy, but w.a.n.g Chong estimated that the gap in power was very small, even almost negligible.

At the Grotto Heaven realm, where shifts in s.p.a.cetime became involved, superior strength was no longer as effective.

Experts at this level already possessed G.o.dly levels of strength. Match-ups here were more about contests of laws.

Chapter 1448: Trouble Piling on Trouble!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

The soft whisper was still in w.a.n.g Chong’s ear, but he could already feel the pain of the skin and flesh of his abdomen being cut open. His heart madly thumping, he instinctively took countermeasures, lunging off to the right.

Boom! A dark silhouette crashed into an area ten-some meters behind w.a.n.g Chong, causing a large part of the cave walls to crumble down.

At that moment, w.a.n.g Chong had been able to clearly see that the thin blade slicing through the air toward him was actually one of the giant beast’s palm-sized scales.

What terrifying speed!

w.a.n.g Chong’s heart chilled. He had never imagined that the beast was able to use its own scales as weapons, and to shoot them forward with such incredible speed. That sound at the start had been so soft that it felt like it was coming from very far away and still needed to travel some distance.

But in truth, the beast’s scale was already cutting at his body.

If not for w.a.n.g Chong’s intuition and instinct, the Dragonbeast would have already cut him in half.

This fellow is even more formidable than I imagined!

w.a.n.g Chong instantly felt an intense apprehension. He had only recently used the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, and he would need to wait twenty to thirty days before he could normally use it again. Without that powerful suit of armor, w.a.n.g Chong would find it very difficult to contend against the Dragonbeast’s heaven-defying strength.

Whether it was the biting of its jaws, the slashing of its claws, or even the scales on its body, they were all enough to deal enormous damage to an unarmored martial artist like w.a.n.g Chong.

w.a.n.g Chong’s repeated resistance had infuriated the Dragonbeast, and its crimson eyes stared at w.a.n.g Chong through the darkness. Bzzz! The ma.s.sive Dragonbeast vanished in a flash of light.

The place w.a.n.g Chong was standing collapsed in an explosion of dust. The hardy rocks of the underground were incapable of holding out against a swing of the Dragonbeast’s feet, but even this determined strike had still managed to miss.

But after missing with this strike, the Dragonbeast lunged at w.a.n.g Chong without hesitation. This time, however, w.a.n.g Chong changed his tactics.

Bzzz! w.a.n.g Chong’s body flickered, and then three identical afterimages appeared around the Dragonbeast. As the Dragonbeast lashed out at w.a.n.g Chong with two legs, w.a.n.g Chong moved to the side, dodging the attack by a hair. At the same time, he fired two milky-white bolts of Sword Qi from his hand that shot toward the Dragonbeast’s eyes.

Art of G.o.d and Demon Obliteration!

w.a.n.g Chong had deployed the supreme sword art he had learned from Great Tang War G.o.d Su Zhengchen.

The greatest advantage humans had compared to beasts was their skill and intelligence. Martial arts were one of humanity’s most formidable advances. When fighting against this Dragonbeast with a strength that surpa.s.sed a peak Great General, it was best to avoid direct confrontation and instead attack its weakest points.

This Dragonbeast had a powerful Anti-Stellar trait that greatly weakened even the strongest attacks. But no matter how powerful the Dragonbeast was, its eyes, mouth, and pores were always weak spots that were impossible to protect.

w.a.n.g Chong’s idea wasn’t bad, but the truth took him by complete surprise.

Bang!

w.a.n.g Chong’s bolts of Sword Qi did not blind the Dragonbeast as he had imagined. Instead, the Dragonbeast closed its eyes, a translucent layer covering them. w.a.n.g Chong’s Sword Qi utterly failed to pierce through the eyelids.

On the contrary, w.a.n.g Chong’s attack only infuriated the Dragonbeast.

Raaaa! A claw covered in fine scales began to expand in w.a.n.g Chong’s vision. At the same time, the Dragonbeast opened its giant maw and unleashed a torrent of searing flame that was much hotter and more concentrated than before.

The flames immediately filled the cave, even engulfing the Dragonbeast’s body.

Not even w.a.n.g Chong dared to be careless around this flame. This flame gave him an extremely strange sensation, somewhat similar to the Fires of Mara and Ju Bi that he had absorbed from the men in black, but it seemed to possess a different kind of attribute. But even in this situation, w.a.n.g Chong did not panic.

A good chance! I can use it to attack its insides!

Although the Dragonbeast’s flames were formidable, w.a.n.g Chong’s Psychic Energy was unaffected and he could clearly locate where the mouth was.

Whoosh! w.a.n.g Chong opened his hand, drawing the sword of the slain martial artist into his hand. With a toss, the sword flew like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the flames toward the open mouth of the Dragonbeast.

Any martial artist who could get this deep into the pit was no weakling, nor were their swords. Although they were still lacking compared to Wootz Steel, their sharpness could not be questioned.

Clang! There was a metallic snap as the sword pa.s.sed through the flames, and the flames vanished, revealing a part of the Dragonbeast’s body. w.a.n.g Chong could see that the Dragonbeast had closed its jaw, biting down on the sword w.a.n.g Chong had thrown.

This sword had been made from the best steel and reinforced with many inscriptions, but the monster had managed to instantly bite it in two.

w.a.n.g Chong’s mind shivered once more. No vicious beast in the world could do this. This monster possessed an incredible instinct and reaction time. w.a.n.g Chong had begun to realize that this beast was far from some ordinary vicious monster. It felt to him like it had been trained by some martial artist.

Otherwise, there was no way it could have reacted so quickly.

Boom! An intense danger filled his mind, and w.a.n.g Chong’s body blinked as he shot backward. In an explosive shockwave, the Dragonbeast slammed a foot down on where w.a.n.g Chong had been standing just moments ago.

It’s no good! This beast’s abilities are meant specifically to counter martial artists. Its duty is probably to guard the underground Origin Immortal Treasury. It won’t do to keep fighting with it!

w.a.n.g Chong’s mind was spinning with thoughts.

w.a.n.g Chong was not that much weaker than the Dragonbeast, but as the Dragonbeast had a strong resistance to Stellar Energy, w.a.n.g Chong would just be wasting time attacking it. There was no easy way to actually kill it.

It would be better to leave as quickly as possible and find the treasury!

w.a.n.g Chong quickly decided to rush into one of the branching caves. Explosions and booms rang out behind him, as it seemed like the Dragonbeast had locked onto w.a.n.g Chong and was doggedly pursuing him.

The cave network was vast and extensive. w.a.n.g Chong soon saw three branching caves, and he immediately split up into three clones, one for each cave. But to his surprise, this move had no effect.

The Dragonbeast showed no hesitation, plunging into the right cave in pursuit of w.a.n.g Chong.

Wait! This beast isn’t relying on its eyes to find its prey… It can smell a martial artist’s Stellar Energy!

w.a.n.g Chong immediately understood.

The Dragonbeast’s crimson eyes were extremely obvious in the darkness. w.a.n.g Chong had believed that it used these eyes to hunt its prey, which is why he made two clones. But w.a.n.g Chong had just ‘seen’ how the Dragonbeast had chosen the correct path without even a moment of thought.

It was obvious that the Dragonbeast did not hunt using its eyes.

If it wasn’t using its eyes, then the only other possible method was the Stellar Energy on the martial artist’s body.

With this thought, w.a.n.g Chong swiftly had an idea.

Rumble! The sounds of collapsing caves and the roars of the Dragonbeast rang out endlessly behind him, closer and closer. The Dragonbeast was apparently determined to seize w.a.n.g Chong, but even so, w.a.n.g Chong remained calm, his mind rapidly turning.

A few moments later, another branching cave appeared. w.a.n.g Chong was much more cautious this time and once more separated into two. This time, he transferred a large amount of Stellar Energy onto the clone while at the same time restraining his dantian and sealing his pores and meridians, except for those in his legs. His Stellar Energy flow almost came to a stop, and his body’s aura plunged.

After doing this, w.a.n.g Chong had his clone and his real body enter two separate caves.

Raaaa! The vicious Dragonbeast’s murderous roar resounded through the caves, causing rocks to rustle down from the ceiling.

But a moment later, the Dragonbeast beast shot into one of the caves, pursuing w.a.n.g Chong’s clone.

Just as expected!

In the other cave, w.a.n.g Chong was now confident and a.s.sured.

Swish! Swish! Swish! He began to fly deeper into the depths of the cave, but as he was making his way forward, without any warning, a soft explosion came from overhead. An energy had been hiding there for some time, only revealing itself when w.a.n.g Chong appeared.

If it were anyone else, they would have been caught off guard by such a close attack and swiftly struck, but w.a.n.g Chong remained calm. Bang! w.a.n.g Chong turned a palm upward and thrust it overhead.

Boomboomboom!

As two palms met, an enormous wave of Stellar Energy erupted from his body, clashing with extremely Yin energy, dark and turbid to the extreme. There was a grunt from above, and then the a.s.sailant flipped around in the air and landed in a cave above w.a.n.g Chong’s head.

That person staggered unsteadily as soon as they hit the ground.

“Eh?”

An astonished voice arose, but it was from a completely different place than where that figure was.

“Kid, to think it was you!”

At the sound of this familiar voice, w.a.n.g Chong turned in shock. Across from him was a series of caves, and in one of them, twenty-some meters away, was a familiar figure who was staring in shock at him with sinister eyes.

Next to him were two figures of equal power, and they were also staring in shock.

Chapter 1497: Controlling the Third Generation!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

Buzz!

Time seemed to stop, and in a place that the three elders could not see, there was an explosive shattering. The third-generation successor stopped and trembled, his destructive energy halting right before it could erupt.

“This… How?”

The three elders were all stunned.

They had all experienced the strength of this successor. His Origin Immortal Stellar Energy that could shatter mountains was simply unstoppable, and even when the three of them had attacked together, they had still been knocked away. Moreover, w.a.n.g Chong was suffering from his cultivation defect and could not move at this time.

But this existence akin to the G.o.d of death had suddenly stopped, turning into a statue.

“Could it be that he…”

Standing at the very back, the Lone Silence Ancestor stopped, his eyes twinkling. He seemed to think of something as he stared at the motionless successor, but the idea was so absurd that he didn’t dare to believe it.

Whoosh!

There was a rush of air and an immense pull, and w.a.n.g Chong was drawn out from beneath the palm of the walking corpse.

“Chong-er, are you okay?” a concerned voice asked into w.a.n.g Chong’s ear. The Demonic Emperor Old Man, having little time to ponder the change in the successor, had decided to ‘save’ w.a.n.g Chong first.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man’s greatest concern was his inheriting disciple!

“Master, I’m fine.”

w.a.n.g Chong shook his head. His face was ghastly pale and his body was drenched in cold sweat.

“Chong-er, that Origin Immortal Art successor… you… just now… did you really…” the Wushang Village Chief faltered, taking back his white cane and coming forward. His eyes went back and forth between w.a.n.g Chong and the motionless successor.

As if understanding what the Wushang Village Chief was trying to say, w.a.n.g Chong looked up and gave a weak yet relaxed smile.

“Senior, Master, I truly have taken control of him!”

Buzz!

The air seemed to freeze. The three seniors who were close to w.a.n.g Chong’s grandfather in age glanced speechlessly at each other, their bodies stiff.

Even the Demonic Emperor Old Man had a look of disbelief on his face. He had vaguely guessed as to what was going on, but to hear w.a.n.g Chong verify it was something else entirely.

“How is this possible?” the Wushang Village Chief blurted out, somewhat unable to control himself.

That was a disciple of the Origin Immortal Lord, a successor of the world’s number one ‘Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art’. Each one of these disciples had been an incredibly talented genius, a peerless existence.

This third-generation successor from the end days of the Eastern Han Dynasty had already been half a step into the Subtle realm, and he was much stronger than the other guardians encountered in this underground palace.

And the mysteries and strengths of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art had allowed his true strength to surpa.s.s other experts of the same level. Thus, even though the Demonic Emperor had fought with him for so long and with such great difficulty, he had still almost died.

But now, w.a.n.g Chong was saying that he had taken control over him.

He had taken control of this near-Subtle-realm expert, and he had done so while on the verge of falling apart from his cultivation defect.

A moment ago, the three of them had believed that w.a.n.g Chong would be killed.

w.a.n.g Chong smiled and began to explain what had happened. w.a.n.g Chong had seemingly performed a miracle, taking control of this terrifying expert that could oppose Subtle realm experts. It was truly a most praiseworthy deed.

But only w.a.n.g Chong knew just how close he had been to death.

w.a.n.g Chong’s Psychic Energy barrage on the third-generation successor had not been very useful, and there had even been a moment where w.a.n.g Chong had begun to despair, believing that he really would die to the hands of this walking corpse.

But in the end, w.a.n.g Chong had managed to win.

In the end, a Psychic Seal from nearly one thousand years ago had not been able to stand up against the Psychic Energy of someone at his prime. The river of time had even ground away at the user of the seal, much less the seal itself.

w.a.n.g Chong’s final victory had come to be because he had come to understand a certain principle as he battled with that seal.

Psychic Energy was also a type of power, and while the Psychic Seal on this successor was powerful, it did not possess limitless power. Each bit of its power consumed was power that it could not get back.

This was also why they had another seal on their bodies that could repel Psychic Energy.

This had been a clash of Psychic Energy, and while the level of the seal had certainly been incredible, w.a.n.g Chong’s tangible Psychic Energy had managed to win the battle.

w.a.n.g Chong’s tale left the other three in the hall stunned and speechless.

The Origin Immortal Lord’s powerful seal that had lasted for nearly one thousand years had been broken by w.a.n.g Chong, and w.a.n.g Chong had even taken control of the third-generation successor… If this matter got out, it would undoubtedly leave all the martial artists of the world stunned.

Each successor of the Origin Immortal Art had been an uncrowned king of their era, the true world’s number one, but w.a.n.g Chong had managed to take control of one of them!

As the Demonic Emperor Old Man recalled how even the three of them were so hard-pressed against this foe, he found himself unable to say anything.

“Your Highness, can you make that walking corpse move?” the Lone Silence Ancestor cautiously said, even changing the way he addressed w.a.n.g Chong.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief failed to notice anything, but w.a.n.g Chong shot a profound glance at the Lone Silence Ancestor and smirked. He seemed to realize something, but he kept the revelation to himself for the moment.

“Mm!”

w.a.n.g Chong nodded.

“Although I’ve taken control of this walking corpse, I still have a little work to do… Wait a moment for me!”

w.a.n.g Chong closed his eyes and began to communicate with the consciousness inside the successor’s body. A while later, the motionless successor’s body trembled and then stood up.

Boom!

A moment later, the third-generation successor turned around and stared with his lifeless eyes at the four. Boom! Golden light exploded from his body, and the Origin Immortal Stellar Energy surged out. The Stellar Energy traveled for six or seven meters before stopping and beginning to ceaselessly churn.

“w.a.n.g Chong, can you control those golden compa.s.ses?” the Wushang Village Chief asked, an expectant look in his eyes.

The fortress of golden compa.s.ses created by the Origin Immortal Art was one of the strongest defensive techniques in the world. It was able to completely neutralize the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Myriad Spirit Sea Art, the Wushang Village Chief’s Yang Ren Divine Art and White Dragon Divine Art, and also the Lone Silence Ancestor’s Gonggong Divine Art. This feat alone was enough to make it the world’s number one art.

If w.a.n.g Chong could have the third-generation successor use this golden compa.s.s fortress, the group would have another way of protecting themselves as they ventured deeper into this dangerous place.

They would also have it much easier when dealing with the seemingly endless traps of the Origin Immortal Treasury.

w.a.n.g Chong opened his eyes and said, “I’ll try!”

Boom!

A few moments later, an even more dazzling golden light burst forth, transforming into a millstone-sized golden compa.s.s that floated in the sea of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy around the third-generation successor.

Hundreds more golden compa.s.ses began to manifest, and a short while later, that grandiose and dazzling golden fortress had emerged.

The golden fortress was the height of two adult men and protected the third-generation successor from all angles. It exuded a divine golden light and seemed utterly unconquerable.

“!!!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man, Wushang Village Chief, and Lone Silence Ancestor were all shocked by this sight, but they were also delighted.

“Hahaha, wonderful. Your Highness, with this walking corpse, we have a protective talisman. We’ll be much safer no matter where we go!”

The Lone Silence Ancestor’s eyes shone as he gazed at that war-G.o.d-like successor and heartily laughed.

He had believed that all of them would die to this successor, and he had never expected such a reversal. The third-generation successor was now on their side!

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief said nothing, but the looks of grat.i.tude in their eyes said everything.

“Chong-er, it seems that you’ve already surpa.s.sed your master!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man sighed.

The master was not necessarily inferior to the disciple, and the disciple was not necessarily inferior to the master. The Demonic Emperor Old Man felt sincere happiness over w.a.n.g Chong’s performance.

Meanwhile, the third-generation successor was not done yet.

Under w.a.n.g Chong’s control, the golden pavilion of the ‘Trayastrimsa Heaven’ appeared behind the third-generation successor, creating a golden halo that illuminated the darkness like the sun.

The third-generation successor reached behind him, and the Trayastrimsa Heaven pavilion collapsed into a twenty-two-section halberd that was covered in golden inscriptions. As it did so, the third-generation successor swelled in power.

Even the Arab War G.o.d who w.a.n.g Chong had fought at Talas appeared lackl.u.s.ter compared to the third-generation successor at this moment.

Chapter 472: Grievous News from the Southwest!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

Over vast tracts of land, over Erhai in the southwest and a vast and thick forest, not long after Xianyu Zhongtong led his 180,000 elites…

"Move out!"

A ma.s.sive shout tore through the sky. A stalwart, middle-aged man with a black mustache, seemingly endowed with both strength and wisdom, stood on the lands of the southwest. He wore a flatheaded crown and an imperial robe, and his hand held a golden sword. Meanwhile, an aura as vigorous as the mountains or ocean surged from his body and into the sky.

Rumble!

The earth seemed to have awakened from a long sleep. It began to fiercely quake and shudder.

"Kill!"

……

A killing aura so majestic that it seemed to take on physical form soared into the sky, sweeping through the clouds like a wave. The great earth was covered by the elite warriors of Mengshe Zhao, all of them armed for battle, wrapped in war halos of white or black. This mighty flood of steel was advancing relentlessly toward the distant Great Tang Annan Protectorate.

The thunderous beating of drums resounded through the heavens. In the sky, the dark clouds were in turmoil. After ten-some years of peace, war was finally about to rise in the southwest.

……

Clang!

A ma.s.sive hammer smashed down on a bright-red iron. As sparks exploded, the screech was so grating that it could almost tear apart eardrums.

Dang! Dang! Dang! The ma.s.sive hammer continued to slam down, once, twice, thrice… thousands of times. And the hammerers went from one to thousands as well!

On the ma.s.sive Tibetan Plateau, fires blazed and smoke roiled. Thousands upon thousands of short and powerful Ü-Tsang blacksmiths were swinging their hammers. On this plateau more than 4,000 kilometers above sea level, they worked night and day in the outdoors to forge armor, sabers, swords, U-shaped horseshoes, arrow tips, and all sorts of other weapons.

Sweat poured out in buckets as these Ü-Tsang blacksmiths produced a stream of countless weapons and armor.

Ü-Tsang did not have as developed a weapons industry as the Central Plains, nor was it as efficient. But no one would dare view with contempt the weapons produced on this plateau, because the blacksmiths here used that most primitive and most straightforward of methods: a thousand hammerings and one hundred temperings!

There was nothing aesthetically pleasing about the armor of Ü-Tsang, and there certainly wasn't much skill put into its creation, but this armor was truly the toughest in the world, and also the thickest and longest-lasting.

The armor of one Ü-Tsang horseman far outweighed the armors of the hors.e.m.e.n of the Great Tang, the Eastern and Western Turks, Goguryeo, or even the Abbasid Caliphate and Charax Spasinu.

This also made it so that ordinary weapons and attacks would find it very difficult to harm the Ü-Tsang cavalry!

Ü-Tsang armor took a great deal of time and energy to forge, but it also meant that among all ordinary armors, Ü-Tsang armor lasted the longest.

This long armor-forging process had been started a long time ago. By this point, mountains of weapons and armors had been piled up on this vast plateau, creating a most magnificent sight!

Flapflap!

Wings flapped through the sky as a pure white carrier pigeon flew through the smoke and sparks. A white-clothed and old-styled middle-aged Confucian scholar raised his head and allowed the carrier pigeon to land on his hand.

"Hahaha, Huoshu, it's finally time to start!"

Dalun Ruozan gave a faint smile and sent the letter flying with a flick of his finger. The thin page in his hands was like a knife, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning.

Nearby, Great General Huoshu Huicang of the Ü-Tsang Empire's Ngari Royal Lineage was standing in front of a small mountain of Tibetan weaponry. Seeing the letter, he cast away the weapon in his hand and dexterously s.n.a.t.c.hed the letter.

"Geluofeng is asking for troops again…" Huoshu Huicang said in surprise upon reading the letter.

"Hahahah, this is the third letter!" Dalun Ruozan said with a derisive smile. Ever since Mengshe Zhao had retreated, Geluofeng had been sending letter after letter requesting Ü-Tsang to send troops and for the two kingdoms to becomes allies. However, these attempts had all been stopped by Dalun Ruozan.

Huoshu Huicang turned his head and emotionlessly asked, "Do you want to reply?"

"There's no need!"

Dalun Ruozan waved his hands and sneered, "Everything that needs to be said has already been said. If Mengshe Zhao wants to win our Ü-Tsang's support, then it needs to prove itself!

"The world has been peaceful for decades now. Is the Great Tang still as powerful as it once was… Mengshe Zhao is the best test! If the Great Tang wins and easily crushes Mengshe Zhao, it means that the time isn't ripe and we need to delay our plans.

"But if the Great Tang loses…

"Then that means… that this is Ü-Tsang's era!"

With these final words, Dalun Ruozan slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the mountains and rivers to rest on the distant southwest region of the Great Tang.

From the towering Tibetan Plateau, one could faintly see two trails of dust, two steely armies surging toward each other.

Perhaps now should be our Ü-Tsang's era!

As this thought flashed through his mind, Dalun Ruozan's gaze cooled.

Whether it was Mengshe Zhao or the Great Tang, they would all be Ü-Tsang's opponents in the end. In this southwestern war, the Ü-Tsang Empire would be the final winner!

……

Day after day pa.s.sed, w.a.n.g Chong spending his time calculating the state of the war in the southwest. In his previous life, although w.a.n.g Chong had not partic.i.p.ated, he had been a witness. He clearly remembered everything that had happened.

"The future has already been changed. The war between the Great Tang and Mengshe Zhao has already been pushed forward half a year. I can only hope that the progress of this war changed as well," w.a.n.g Chong quietly said to himself, his heart burdened with worries.

Although his gloomy cell was cut off from the world and any outside news, w.a.n.g Chong could feel from the atmosphere that this war in the southwest had transfixed all of the Great Tang.

The air was filled to the bursting with worry!

And no one was more worried than w.a.n.g Chong. However, w.a.n.g Chong was still unable to leave. It appeared that the pressure from the Court of Judicial Review and Chamberlain of Dependencies was far stronger than he had imagined.

Several days later, right when w.a.n.g Chong was about to reach his breaking point, a figure appeared in his prison. It was not his big uncle, but King Song of the Great Tang.

"Your Highness!"

w.a.n.g Chong was startled and instantly had a very bad feeling.

"w.a.n.g Chong, I have some very bad news to tell you!"

Through the bars of the cell, w.a.n.g Chong could see that King Song had a very unpleasant expression.

"The Great Tang lost! Xianyu Zhongtong lost…"

"What?!!"

w.a.n.g Chong stood up from the ground like he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. His mouth was ajar, his entire body paralyzed.

How could this be possible!

w.a.n.g Chong's thoughts were in chaos as ma.s.sive waves raged through his heart.
