Chapter 353: Do You Want to Seek Longevity?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The war god phantom condensed by the Divine Form Technique displayed Di Chang’s various ultimate techniques. Sometimes, it would fight in close combat, and sometimes, it would squander its true qi. The surrounding ten thousand miles was reduced to a battlefield. Both sides were extremely fast. The three figures would sometimes be on the horizon and sometimes come to the East-Heaven Gate, which was an eye-opener for the heavenly generals.
“As expected of the former Imperial Race of the Great Wilderness.”
“Could this be the legendary Ten Great Divine Arts of the Imperial Race of the Great Wilderness? I’ve seen records of it in the imperial palace, but there’s no training method.”
“I heard from Marshal Di Chang that the Heavenly General who becomes a Martial Emperor the fastest can obtain the Ten Great Divine Arts.”
“The phantom can recover quickly and its combat strength is not affected at all.
“What realm is the other party in? He’s so powerful. I feel that Great Marshal Di
Chang’s divine arts can’t do anything to him.”
Even though they saw that Di Chang did not have the upper hand, the Heavenly Generals did not panic. Instead, they clicked their tongues in wonder.
Even Di Chang was not his opponent, so they naturally could not be rash. They just had to wait for the Dao Ancestor to use his Divine Power.
Even though they have been granted godhood, they still needed time to grow. After all, even the Dao Ancestor had to cultivate.
The war god phantom was destroyed time and time again by the black-robed man. Seeing this, Di Chang frowned. He quickly realized the gap between him and the other party, but he was unwilling.
Ever since he surrendered to the Dao Ancestor, this was the first time he had taken action. It had to be known that he had insisted on challenging the Dao Ancestor in the past, so his desire to fight was especially strong. Therefore, the moment the black-robed man appeared, he immediately took action.
Unexpectedly…
Di Chang secretly hated himself for not being strong enough. Would the Dao Ancestor be very disappointed in him?
He would definitely be disappointed!
At that moment, the black-robed man suddenly waved his sleeve and dispersed the war god phantom. He arrived in front of Di Chang at a speed that no one could react to in time. In an instant, his right palm stopped less than ten centimeters away from Di Chang.
Di Chang widened his eyes. He felt that the blood in his body had solidified and he could not move.
The black-robed man’s expression was ice-cold. He was no longer as arrogant as before. He coldly said, “You long worm, have you had enough fun?”
Di Chang’s lower body was a snake’s tail, and it was obvious that he was not a human. Therefore, the black-robed man humiliated him by calling him a long worm.
Di Chang’s expression instantly turned hideous. Cyan flames burst out from his eyes and instantly drowned the black-robed man’s head. However, the black-robed man took a deep breath and sucked the surging cyan flames into his mouth.
“Celestial Emperor, is that all you’ve got?”
The black-robed man said with disdain. He raised his right hand and prepared to end Di Chang.
At that moment, an unstoppable force pulled him out. He was horrified to find that he could not disperse into black mist to avoid it. He turned around and found a purple cloth wrapped around his waist. He followed the purple cloth and found that it fell from the sea of clouds in the sky.
“What is this?”
The black-robed man revealed a look of shock while the Heavenly Generals revealed excited smiles.
The Dao Ancestor had taken action!
It had been a long time since they had seen the Dao Ancestor fight, so they did not know how powerful he was.
The sea of clouds on the other side of the God Binding Silk suddenly expanded and a huge black hole appeared. When the God Binding Silk released, the black-robed man was sucked into the black hole.
In a flash, the black-robed man slapped out. Rolling black mist exploded like a flood, covering the sky and the sun, causing the East-Heaven Gate to instantly darken.
The Heavenly Generals looked up and were shocked.
What terrifying true qi!
Was this the black-robed man’s true strength?
Di Chang’s expression was ugly as he realized that the other party had been teasing him all along.
However, the black-robed man did not relax because he was still being sucked upward.
He was horrified to see the black mist in the sky surging violently. That suction force was absorbing his black mist, but the black mist was so huge that it was not immediately absorbed.
Under the shocked expressions of the Heavenly Generals, the black mist that filled the sky and the black-robed man quickly shrank together. Soon, the sky recovered, leaving only a huge black hole.
What was that?
After the black hole engulfed the black-robed man and the black mist that filled the sky, it rapidly shrunk. The Heavenly Generals and the others saw the huge Purple Crystal Gourd. It turned out that the black hole was the mouth of the Purple Crystal Gourd. The Purple Crystal Gourd shrunk to its original size and flew into the Ninth Heaven before disappearing into the sea of clouds.
Di Chang was stunned. The Heavenly Generals were amazed.
At that moment, a large number of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals rushed over. However, they could only see the broken clouds in the sky.
“Was that the Dao Ancestor’s treasure just now?”
“That’s right. I heard that Heavenly Lord Chen and Celestial Master Qi Yuan are already cultivating the Dao Ancestor’s way of refining weapons. I heard that there will be many treasures for us to use in the future.” “Do you think the Investiture of the Gods is also a treasure?”
“Such a powerful being was just sucked away.”
“As expected of the Dao Ancestor, as expected of His Majesty. He did not even have to personally appear to subdue a powerful enemy.”
Di Chang took a deep breath and turned to leave without saying a word. He really had no face to stay.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and raised his right hand. The Purple Crystal Gourd and the God Binding Silk quickly flew over and landed in his hand.
Bai Qi came over and asked curiously, “Is the enemy captured?”
The pressure of the battle between the black-robed man and Di Chang was extremely strong. She could even feel it in the Ninth Heaven.
“Yes.”
Jiang Changsheng answered. He placed the Purple Crystal Gourd in front of him and allowed the flames inside to burn the black-robed man for a period of time before interrogating him.
Bai Qi lay in front of the Purple Crystal Gourd with her wolf eyes wide open. She lamented, “Is this a magical weapon? It can extend and contract at will and can even subdue demons and devils? Master, can Chen Li and Qi Yuan really refine such a martial treasure?”
Ever since he founded the Heavenly Court, Jiang Changsheng had wanted to create a method to forge magical treasures for martial artists. Immortal cultivation and martial arts were essentially the difference between strength. The higher the realm of martial arts, the more rules of heaven and earth one would comprehend. It was also feasible to use martial arts true qi to forge magical treasures, just like a storage ring.
Jiang Changsheng did not have the time to refine martial arts treasures for every immortal god, so he asked Chen Li and Qi Yuan to study them. Qi Yuan, in particular, liked to study such things.
“Of course they can. They are not like you, who would be lazy even when training. ”
Jiang Changsheng snorted and closed his eyes to concentrate on his cultivation.
Bai Qi was still lying in front of the Purple Crystal Gourd, observing it carefully.
Year 30 of the Dingtian Era, spring and summer.
Heavenly Jing was brought into war. The human army from another world attacked the northern region, and the border army that had been prepared long ago went to war with them. The battlefront was extremely long. The moment the war started, Heavenly Jing was under pressure and suffered heavy casualties.
Just as the soldiers of Heavenly Jing were in despair, golden light descended from the sky. 36 Heavenly Generals and 72 Earthly Fiend Generals descended from the sky and swept across the various battlefields.
Di Chang flew into a rage, as if he wanted to regain his confidence from the enemy. He attacked with all his might. No expert could withstand a single blow from him. After killing one, he immediately supported the next battlefield and displayed the might of one of the four Saint Marshals.
With the help of the immortals, Heavenly Jing won a huge victory!
War reports spread throughout Heavenly Jing, making the people of the Heavenly Jing happy, as if it was the New Year.
None of the Heavenly Generals had died. Even if they had died, Jiang Changsheng could easily revive them. However, he had to ensure that their corpses were intact. Therefore, he did not send any Heavenly Soldiers. Instead, he asked them to continue training.
After the war ended.
Between the mountains, countless human soldiers camped and rested, and their morale was low.
In the camp, a group of soldiers and martial artists surrounded the huge sand table with gloomy expressions.
They were from the Scarlet Heaven Martial World. In the Scarlet Heaven Martial World, humans ruled over all races, but there was no absolutely unified dynasty. Their current forces were all formed by different sects and dynasties.
However, after dozens of years of training, they had a good tacit understanding. However, they never expected to be defeated in the first battle.
“Is there really an immortal god protecting this martial world?”
An old man with one arm spoke slowly, breaking the silence. His eyes were filled with fear.
The moment he spoke, the camp exploded.
“If it’s not immortal gods, then what is it?”
“Those guys descended from the sky, and all of them have extraordinary luck. Also, when I hit the silver armor on their bodies, my true qi directly dissipated!”
“Damn it! I thought the humans in this martial world were weak. I didn’t expect them to be so powerful.”
“That shouldn’t be the case. If they were strong, why didn’t the humans here unify the martial world?”
“Haven’t you noticed that the martial arts spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, far exceeding our martial world? Such a martial world should not join the competition!”
They cursed and vented their depression and fear.
An armored man standing in front of the sand table with his back facing them had his head lowered and his expression was extremely gloomy. From the clenched fists behind his waist, it could be seen that his heart was extremely unsettled.
Traveling through martial worlds was not an easy task. It took time and effort, as well as resources. The armored man was responsible for all the military supplies that came from the nation treasury for this expedition. This was also the reason why the various forces were willing to follow his orders. If they were to return empty-handed, the treasury would definitely suffer a huge loss. If he lost, he also would not be able to explain it to the Emperor. Not only that, but a huge number of casualties would also have to be dealt with.
After everyone cursed, they all looked at the armored man.
The armored man turned around and was about to speak when a soldier rushed in and said in a hurry, “Generals, a Heavenly Lord from the Heavenly Court has come to visit and said that he wants to bestow us with opportunities!”
As soon as he said that, the armored man turned around and frowned. A Heavenly General appeared and told them his origin so that they would not forget the name of the Heavenly Court.
When they thought of the terrifying Di Chang, they shivered and panicked. “The army is here, what are you panicking for? Let him in!”
The armored man ordered the soldiers to retreat at once, and the camp fell into silence again.
Not long after, Chen Li entered the camp. He wore the immortal robe of the Heavenly Lord, and the white robe was covered with lines of flowing clouds that radiated brilliance and emitted an otherworldly aura.
The moment they saw him, everyone was shocked.
Chen Li swept his gaze across everyone and revealed a smile. “Does everyone wish to seek longevity?”
His first sentence moved everyone in the camp, and they could not understand what he meant.
The armored man asked in a deep voice, “Why? The Heavenly Court wants to recruit us?”
Chen Li shook his head and said, “The Heavenly Court is the court of immortal gods. It is not a place anyone can join just because they want to.”
His words caused everyone to snort, but they did not dare to mock him.
Chen Li continued, “However, if you join the Heavenly Court, you will be able to chase after the hope of longevity. Have you calculated it? How high are your chances of winning if only three martial worlds can remain in the end? The 1,000-year period is long, but are you confident that you can survive until the end?”
Everyone’s expression was extremely ugly as they felt humiliated.
“Some time ago, an Imminent Divine Realm expert wanted to break into the Heavenly Court, but he was subdued by His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, with this gourd.”
Chen Li raised his right hand and the Purple Crystal Gourd appeared.
The one-armed old man snorted and asked, “What is the Imminent Divine Realm?”
As soon as he asked this question, the armored man’s expression collapsed. He looked at Chen Li and as expected, his attitude towards him immediately became even more arrogant..
