Chapter 147: It Doesn't Matter How Many More Realms You Break Through; I'm Afraid You Have the Wrong Script.

The time between Gu Changge's strike and Long Teng's attempt at an all-out resistance did not take long.

In just a few moves, Gu Changge sent Long Teng flying, shattering both his arms with a single palm strike.

It was a quick, clean, and simple blow.

Alongside his earlier statement, the result seemed only natural.

Everybody watching the scene was shocked to the core.

'This guy probably grabbed plenty of opportunities during this period of time. He probably went to explore somebody's ancestral tomb... I knew he wasn't going to stay still.'

If there was anyone who wasn't surprised by this, it was Yue Mingkong.

She believed she knew Gu Changge best.

She knew his strengths and weaknesses.

She also knew his thoughts.

Although Long Teng's cultivation was clearly superior, he couldn't gain the slightest advantage over Gu Changge.

On the contrary, he was suppressed in all aspects and had no chance of fighting back.

This was no longer a matter of talent, but an absolute disparity in strength.

Gu Changge's true strength has long been unknown.

"There is no doubt that Daoist Brother Changge has reached the ranks of the Young Asura, or else he would not have been able to so easily suppress Long Teng despite only being at the early stage of the False God Realm..."

"As for Long Teng, apart from his high cultivation, he does not pose much of a threat. If one were in the same realm, his true strength would roughly be at the level of, at most, the middle to the upper level of the Young Supremes, a far cry from the level of a Young Asura."

"I fear that, from now on, apart from the dusty Ancient Freaks, there will be none in the younger generation who can stand up to Brother Changge."

Many could not help but agree as the shock still lingered in their eyes.

They all knew that Gu Changge held tyrannical might, but they had never expected that he would be this strong.

Even Long Teng was easily suppressed… this led them to fearfully believe that now only the powerhouses of the older generation could stand up to Gu Changge.

The thought of this made them feel a sense of tremendous pressure as if a large, invisible mountain was falling on top of their heads.

"In the future, if the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts appears, I am afraid that only Young Master Gu will be able to stand up to him."

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard any news of the Forbidden Demonic Arts Inheritor recently, did he not blend in as the rest of us went inside? If that truly were the case, it would be cause for celebration."

At that moment, all the Young Supremes were busy discussing among themselves.

Meanwhile, many Holy Maiden looked at that figure with a dazzling look in their eyes, hoping for a chance to warm his bed.

As for the natives of the Ancient Immortal Continent, they too were upset, jealous even, no longer carrying the same arrogance they had before

In the beginning, they looked down on the Young Supremes of the outside world simply because of their superior Cultivation Base.

But now, the scene before them was enough to prove that - though their Cultivation Bases weren't as great as theirs - their strength was undeniably greater.

And Gu Changge... he was so powerful that it made them tremble!

"Now, do you have any final words?"

Gu Changge descended from the sky, his white robe and black hair flowing with the wind as he walked with ease.

With a light smile, he glanced at Long Teng, whose arms had been reduced to smithereens.

"Impossible, how could I lose to you?! I… I still have the most powerful ability that I have yet to use!"

Long Tang's face was pale, devoid of the arrogant and confident look he had before.

The moment he fought with Gu Changge, his confidence crumbled.

Prior to this, with his strong cultivation, he had no problem overpowering his peers.

But against Gu Changge, it was no longer an option.

On the contrary, he was pinned down, left in a completely miserable state.

"Are those your final words?"

Gu Changge looked at him with mockery, the same way one would look at a small ant

'Not even the monsters who took the initiative to die are as stupid as Long Teng.'

'At this stage, did he still not understand the difference between the two of us?'

Gu Changge struck once more!

Boom!

As the palm fell, a spectacular sight covered Heaven and Earth once more as the sky trembled before exploding into flames.

The very mountains crumbled under its aura!

"Gu Changge, you..."

Long Teng tried to recover his broken arms, but at that moment, his face changed dramatically for the worse, as he tried evading it by using the True Dragon Movement Technique.

Simultaneously, a layer of golden brilliance emerged from his body, a collection of dense and dazzling dragon scales.

He reacted very quickly...

Nevertheless, he was still hit by the edge of the palm as he coughed out blood alongside pieces of damaged organs.

His mind went blank for a moment.

After all, he was only experiencing the aftershock!

The layer of golden brilliance shattered even before it made contact with the palm, leaving him completely defenceless!

If he were really hit by Gu Changge's palm, he would've probably been reduced to a mere mist of blood.

The thought of it sent chills down Long Tang's spine.

"How can you be so strong? This is impossible!"

He roared in disbelief, thinking that his cultivation base was clearly much stronger than Gu Changge's!

"If I'm not strong, how can I kill you?"

Gu Changge had his hands behind his back, staring at his prey with a playful expression.

He knew that Long Teng was still hiding one final trick.

There was no need to hurry. After all, this was a man who had never experienced despair, and it would be a waste to have him die easily.

Right then, the void in front of Gu Changge blurred as he took a step forward, vanishing.

The next moment, he reappeared in front of Long Teng.

"You..."

Long Teng was horrified, his eyes widening.

The sheer speed made his soul tremble, it was as if one had vanished into thin air.

'Could this be the lost Supreme-grade Technique, the Heavenly Half-Step[1]?'

[1: This was actually written as an idiom in the original text, directly translated as: "Just a foot away, but it's like there the entire heaven in between."]

Before he could react, he saw a white, slender, jade-like hand reach out to him.

It was slow, so slow that he could even make out the trajectory.

Yet it was irresistible, containing a mysterious aura.

Buzz!

The hand was covered in an endless glow of brilliance, like the power of a True Immortal.

In the next moment, Long Teng roared as an ancient aura emerged from his blood, the figure of a majestic True Dragon manifested behind him. It stood tall, observing the past and the present as it looked down on the world… trying to repeal the hand.

"It's futile, do you still not understand the gap between us?"

Gu Changge was looking at him with pity as if he was looking at an idiot.

All of a sudden, the void froze as time and space seemingly came to a halt.

Even if the manifestation of a True Dragon was remarkable, it was still shattered by him in a matter of moments.

In any case, Gu Changge's strong physique far surpassed that of his peers.

Other than himself, it would be difficult for others to perceive this, let alone reflect on it.

After all... he was a Young Asura, would it be wrong for him to have a strong Body-Refining Technique?

In the next moment, Gu Changge strangled Long Teng from his neck, smashing through his defensive abilities as he lifted him up.

"Urgh..."

Long Teng's arms were shattered, now completely unable to resist as his face turned red with frustration.

In everyone's eyes, it looked as if Gu Changge was lifting up a drowning dog.

From beginning to end, Long Teng didn't have the slightest chance at resistance.

"Lord Long Teng..."

All the native creatures of the Ancient Immortal Continent looked as though the sky had collapsed upon them in that instant.

Right before their very eyes, the invincible Lord Long Teng was now being carried in the hand of their opponent like a dead dog.

Such a great contrast was too much for them to bear.

"How is this possible? This can't be true!"

There were some female creatures who shouted, unable to accept the situation as they simply fainted.

Today's scene will haunt the minds of every creature of the Ancient Immortal Continent.

The man they have been following and admiring for more than a decade had fallen, causing their eyes to blacken and their legs to go weak.

"Long Aotian is no longer popular these days. Long Teng, you were born in the wrong era." Gu Changge laughed casually.

The words he spoke were incomprehensible to Long Teng.

As the strength in his hand increased, one could hear the sound of Long Teng's bones breaking, accompanied by the sound of cracking as he couldn't help but let out a muffled cry of misery.

"Aah! You despicable bastard!"

"Gu Changge, I'm going to kill you!"

Long Tang roared, his eyes burning red.

If he didn't kill Gu Changge today, he would be left absolutely humiliated, a stain that he would never be able to erase.

"You're a little too late for that."

Gu Changge's eyes grew darker and darker as he stared at Long Teng's pair of dragon horns.

The best way to deal with such a Long Aotian template cut out, Favoured Son of Heaven, was to crush him completely.

Since he was fearless as well as brainless.

When it all came down to it, he was just arrogant and useless.

At this point, Gu Changge felt like it was almost time.

The success of the Fortune Plundering Card would depend on the condition of his opponent.

At the same time, a rainbow-coloured light suddenly emerged from within Long Teng's body.

It was extremely powerful, containing an unparalleled vitality that surged peerlessly.

Boom!

A terrifying aura swept across Heaven and Earth, as Long Teng went through a transformation as he broke free from Gu Changge's grip.

His damaged body began healing as his incredible vitality was rejuvenated.

The void trembled and shook, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure!

His cultivation at the pinnacle of the False God Realm had instantly broken through to the True God Realm, becoming far more powerful than he had just been.

This scene caused the crowd to stir once again.

Many people stared in awe as the people who worshipped Long Teng felt an even deeper thriller and exhilaration, unable to withhold their passion and excitement.

Some of them even burst into tears as they trembled, "How could Lord Long Teng, who was born invincible, possibly lose?"

"Today was just a minor setback, this evil man surnamed Gu will pay the price he deserves."

They said with excitement.

At this moment, they had even forgotten who it was that had started the trouble in the first place.

Now that Long Teng had been easily crushed by Gu Changge, reduced to a miserable state, he had become the underdog.

Originally, they had lost hope for Long Teng. But at a crucial moment, he broke through in the midst of a dangerous situation and narrowly escaped death!

Many of the creatures now believed that Long Teng will overcome his previous predicament and turn the tables on Gu Changge to get rid of his humiliation.

"Is this your last-ditch effort to survive? It's not a bad idea to make a breakthrough at a critical moment..."

This was a bit of a surprise to Gu Changge, but on further thought, it was no surprise at all.

After all, breaking through at the last minute is one of the many privileges that a Favored Son of Heaven possesses.

Every time they encounter a great enemy or a dangerous situation, they can just have a breakthrough and drastically turn the situation in their favour.

In his past life, he was very familiar with this kind of trope!

Back then, whenever he saw such a trope, he would become incredibly frustrated and wanted to dig out the brains of those foolish authors to see what was inside their heads.

Even Gu Changge didn't expect that he would encounter such a trope now.

The timing of the breakthroughs was simply too arbitrary, something about the Favoured Son of Heaven's potential to grow, some sort of coincidence, and so on…

Nevertheless, Long Teng was facing Changge. And even if he made a few more breakthroughs, it would still be futile.

When he thought of this, Gu Changge looked a bit amused.

"Gu Changge, you didn't expect this, did you? Your fate is in my hands. Today, you will become nothing but a corpse!"

Long Tang roared, standing at the edge of the sky, his body burning with Divine Fire. Runes shone brightly as his blood surged.

The Divine Fire burned all along from head to toe. With an exponential increase in his cultivation, he had grown even stronger than before.

Once again, he regained his confident and indifferent appearance, looking down on everything.

"I'm afraid you have the wrong script, wasn't your Cultivation Base already higher than mine?"

Gu Changge still had the same carefree attitude, speaking casually with a faint smile.

Long Tang saw the mockery and amusement in his expression.

Now that he had broken through to the True God realm, his cultivation was several times stronger than it had been earlier.

He would definitely be able to kill Gu Changge, a stronger opponent than himself!

That's right, a powerful opponent at the early stage of the False God Realm!

"Gu Changge, I won't play around with you any longer. After all, desperation is the best opportunity to grow stronger."

In response to this, Gu Changge smiled casually.

Then… he pointed his finger forward.

Buzz!

In the void, an earth-shattering sword intent appeared, carrying with it the determination to slash everything as a sea of blood could be seen with piles of immortal corpses!

An Immortal Emperor descended from above, cutting apart the rebellious immortals below!

The Endless Immortal Judgement.

At that moment, it was as if an Immortal Sword made of celestial bronze had appeared in Gu Changge's hand.

Many Young Supremes' pupils shrank as their faces showed yet another dramatic change.

The faces of the Ancient Immortal creatures also changed too as their souls trembled with fear.

"This was the terrifying sword technique that killed the Seventh Princess of the Sea King Palace!"

One of the Young Supremes had a face filled with terror as if feeling the horrific aura from afar.

In a trance, they saw a bronze Immortal Sword slashing through the vast universe, capable of tearing through chaos itself!

Puff!

Gu Changge stepped out of the void as if he were an Immortal swordsman.

For him, looking good was the only thing that mattered.

As for the destructive power of the sword Qi, it contained the Endless Immortal Intent and the sharpness of its original source, the Gengjin Talent.[2]

[2: The Gengjin Talent was part of the White Tiger Origin, which Changge got when he devoured Bai Lie.]

Whoever comes forward will have to pay the price.

"Why… how does this guy have so many tricks up his sleeve?"

The cold and confident face of Long Teng suddenly changed once more, once again unable to believe it.

He saw the sword intent cutting through the sky… and before he could get close enough, his body was pierced by its Qi. Countless cracks formed across his body as he almost exploded into pieces!

He was scared out of his wits!

Before, he thought that Gu Changge had already used his full strength, how could have been defeated any other way?

However, now, Gu Changge brought out methods that were obviously far more powerful than before, making him sink deeper into desperation as he even felt a tinge of regret.

"I can't believe this!"

Long Teng roared, putting up a desperate resistance as he felt a terrifying killing blow.

There was a good chance that he would fall here today.

And even if the clan elders broke the rules to save him, there was no way he would survive!

Now, his only regret was that he hadn't let the clan elders follow him when he left the clan territory.

BOOM!

The void trembled!

Pure killing intent… the ice-cold air drifted around Long Teng's head, threatening to fall the very next moment.

At this critical moment, his eyes turned red as he burned his essence, busting out with one final attempt to break free from certain death!

Ka-ching!

However, the hardest horn on his head broke off and fell to the ground with a thud, splattering five-coloured blood everywhere.

Gu Changge put his fingers together and slashed down casually, still marching forward at an absurdly fast speed!

"You..." Long Tang's face was full of shock, horror, and a hint of desperation. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth as his body struggled to even stand.

"Don't kill me..."

Gu Changge didn't care and only had one word to say…

"Plunder."

The card activated.

Simultaneously, a wisp of Sword Qi, with an edge sharp enough to cut through Heaven and Earth, easily pierced through Long Teng's brow, from the front to the back!
