Breaking The Ancestral Formation

The Great Ancestral Formation had a slight flaw. The time it takes to absorb those orbs within the wall left a slight micro second gap, and during that micro second the formation was completely defenseless.

Most cultivators won't consider it a weakness since it was impossible to get to the formation before it let out another barrage of attacks but Gu Shang was different.

At this point, the Great Ancestral Formation had already let out a barrage of attacks to counter Gu Shang technique so it was powering up to fire again.

Gu Shang took opportunity of that micro second and appeared before the formation throwing his most powerful punch towards the golden dome.

Gu Shang fists tore through space and time creating vortex in it's wake, the fist collided with the formation causing crackling booms.

The Great Ancestral Formation begun to break now and the dome begun to disperse.

The formation was temporarily down but not destroyed. This shocked Gu Shang to his very core.

The punch he threw was enough to destroy the Ancestral Capital and it's surrounding territories a thousand times over, but all it did was disable the formation but no destroy it.

Everyone in the capital looked towards the sky as a silver haired man in white robes floated in the skys above the capital with awe and fear.

They had all witnessed how powerful their Great Ancestral Formation was but the youngster alone tore through it with his bare fist alone.

The emperor in the palace couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

In the records of the Royal family, it was recorded that the Great Ancestral Formation was powerful enough to counter and absorb attacks from cultivators above the immortal King realm, did that mean that Gu Shang was above the Immortal King Realm? Impossible!

The Scarlet Dragon Warship followed Gu Shang and entered the capital Sky's, the people couldn't help but tremble upon laying eyes on the gigantic warships.

Gu Shang begun to descend on the ground, the moment he landed on the palace walls all the buildings and structures within the palace begun to fall down, he was manifesting his aura into an attack.

All the ministers couldn't help but tremble in trepidation, were they all going to die here today.

Who would have thought life was so unpredictable, they had all come here this morning thinking it was going to be a regular court session, but who would have thought...

At this moment nobody cared about the emperor, the palace guards included. How were they supposed to fight that monster?

They begun to drop their swords and surrender before Gu Shang even demanded it.

At this moment Emperor Wei was alone, in mere minutes he had become an emperor with the world at his feet to an emperor without subjects or even a palace.

"Emperor Wei!" Gu Shang called coldly as he locked eyes on emperor Wei.

The emperor couldn't breathe properly under Gu Shang intense stare, he was about to suffocate to death under Gu Shang's gaze.

Emperor Wei couldn't help but feel his knees weakened, but before he could fall on his knees an old man in plain white robes held him by the shoulder and lifted him up!

"Your majesty this is becoming unbecoming of you, even if you have to face the heavens, do it on your feet! You're the son of heaven!"

The old man scolded as he pattered the dirt off Emperor Wei imperial robes caused by the dribbles of the falling buildings.

"Ancestor... I.. I..I " Emperor Wei couldn't respond properly as he looked down in shame.

"What happened to the ruthless ruler who killed his brother for the throne?" The old man said pointing at the throne.

The Hall had collapsed, but the throne remained untouched like a lonly boat passing through a storm sea wave but unruffled and undaunting.

The old man turned his attention to the silver haired youngster in white robes who stood boldly on the walls of palace.

"Young general may I have a word with you?" He asked whiles clasping his hands towards Gu Shang.

"Speak!" Gu Shang cold voice ring loudly across the capital.

"I'll like to apologize on behalf of my descendant, he's judgement was clouded when he made the decision to go after your life, please forgive him and look past his transgressions, The old man said with a bow.

In return we are ready to cede the spiritual vein mine, and 10 provinces to your immortal empire, we'll also open our treasury to you to take whatever you desire" The Ancestor of Wei family generously offered.

This was a big blow to the reputation and honor of the empire, but there was no way out of the situation, to survive they had to bow in defeat.

Gu Shang sneered, this crafty old bastard, by stating such terms of surrender, Gu Shang will appear wilful and unreasonable to the whole world if he demanded for more, after all he survived the assassination and no else was hurt.

Any General would have no choice but yield, but this was the Grand General of the Immortal empire we were talking about.

"Fine I'll accept your terms, but I'll take the head of emperor Wei to soothe my anger, after all an eye for an eye and head for head!" Gu Shang said with a cold voice.

"Young man aren't you being too greedy?" The ancestor frowned.

"Too greedy?" Gu Shang asked with a sneer, "it's you whose clearly being greedy here old man, your descendant sent an assassin to take my life, lots of my men were hurt in the process and that's something I can't overlook!

If I had lost my life in that assassination attempt what would have happened to my empire and family? Wouldn't your empire swallow me whole?"

Besides, I've already conquered your entire territory, accepting your terms will be me taking a step back, but you dare to call me greedy

That incompetent emperor head it's a small price to pay for his actions against me and my men or do you intend to sacrifice the entire empire to protect him?" Gu Shang asked coldly.

"You can't compare the lives of mere soldiers to an emperor?" The old Ancestors retorted.

"To me, his life is completely worthless!"

The Grand General is back!!
