Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 244 Flesh Asura_1
 

Long before Shen Yuan opened the Secret Realm Square-Inch, he surreptitiously arranged for Gong Buyu to stay behind in the Imperial Capital as a backup plan.

As the Secret Realm Square-Inch was personally created by Shen Yuan, it was one thing to deceive other people, but there was absolutely no need for Gong Buyu to enter it as well.

Moreover, during several encounters, Shen Yuan had vaguely discerned Emperor Xia’s true nature.

This Great Xia Emperor’s desire to regain control was so strong that it was almost undisguised; with all Grotto Heavens Blessed Land cultivators heading to the Secret Realm Square-Inch, Emperor Xia would certainly take the opportunity to make his move and prepare for the grand City God Festival.

Once the Capital City God Festival preparations were complete, Xia Yunqiu would lose her last bit of value, and Emperor Xia would definitely make a move against her.

Having Gong Buyu remain in the Imperial Capital would ensure Xia Yunqiu’s safety at the critical moment.

Stepping leisurely into the first-floor hall of the Enlightenment Pavilion, the chill spread quietly in all directions, turning the hall into a world of ice and snow.

Gong Buyu’s aura, in comparison with a few days ago, had advanced further, and she had clearly stepped into the Spirit Transmutation Late Stage.

Given Gong Buyu’s talent, there would be no cultivation barriers before Spirit Refining. Her relatively slow progress over the past few months was due to the extensive time needed to comprehend the Moon Extraction God’s Ability and the Taiyin Path.

Now that the Moon Extraction God’s Ability was mastered, her cultivation speed naturally returned to its peak.

“Miss Gong!”

Xia Yunqiu’s face showed a look of delight. It was also Gong Buyu who had stepped in to help last time, repelling those prodigies from the sect noble families and saving her.

Since that incident, Xia Yunqiu had inquired about Gong Buyu from multiple sources.

Upon learning that Gong Buyu was not only the Immortal’s only daughter but also the disciple who received the Supreme Taoist’s personal coaching, Xia Yunqiu had begun to suspect Shen Yuan’s identity.

Now that Gong Buyu had once again come to assist in a moment of desperate need, Xia Yunqiu’s suspicion grew even stronger.

However, now was not the time to ponder the Taoist’s true identity. Xia Yunqiu’s joyful expression relaxed slightly and she said solemnly,

“This person is at the peak of Spirit Transmutation and has some special means to secretly restrain Divine Skills and Mana. Please be careful, Miss Gong!”

The man in black robes glanced at Xia Yunqiu, and the face hidden under the shadow seemed to grow darker.

“I didn’t expect that while so many Grotto Heavens Blessed Land cultivators have gone to seek opportunities in the Secret Realm Square-Inch, there was still a great Spirit Transmutation cultivator lurking in the shadows.

Such cunning and depth, today I must make sure you stay!”

As he finished speaking, the man in black robes released his Spirit Transmutation Peak cultivation without reservation, and a chaotic power, reminiscent of a Magic Cultivator’s Mana, spread from him throughout the Enlightenment Pavilion.

The ice and snow world seemed to be coated with a blood-curdling layer of red ice, and in the shadows interwoven with blood-red ice crystals, invisible evil demons uttered chaotic whispers.

“What kind of demon path technique is this?”

Xia Yunqiu couldn’t help being startled, and Gong Buyu was also frowning slightly; she could sense that the man in black robes was trying to take control of this world of ice and snow.

Stepping with the Seven Stars Step, Gong Buyu’s longsword, forged from ice crystals, didn’t hesitate to slash at the man in the black robe.

With her cultivation having reached the Spirit Transmutation Late Stage and armed with many Divine Skills, Gong Buyu’s strength was no longer confined to her realm; the sword light she unleashed seemed to want to shatter the entire Enlightenment Pavilion.

The man in black robes let out a chilling laugh, stepping back just once as if melding into the world around him, the profound darkness swallowing the fierce sword light.

With the backdrop of blood red and dark interlace, the wide black robes fluttered gently, like the night sky descending to envelop Gong Buyu.

Profound Divine Power: Great Black Sky!

Gong Buyu’s longsword did not pause as it slashed down once again, accompanied by Sword Intent, as the Year End Freezing Weather burst forth explosively, and the fake night sky seemed to be frozen by the Qi of heaven and earth.

Cracks appeared upon the dark heavens, the terrifying chill ignored the Divine Power to forcefully freeze the Great Black Sky.

However, at this moment, the dense darkness within was weirdly writhing, and strange husky whispers echoed as if a great power of the Demon Path was expounding its doctrine and spreading demonic scriptures.

Bewitching words connected with the corrupted world of ice and snow, and strange creatures made of darkness and blood-red ice rushed towards Gong Buyu, intent on shredding her.

“Begone!”

Her sword light swept across, shattering all the strange creatures, but beneath the spreading shards of ice, even more bizarre creatures began to rise from the ground.

Under the cover of the Great Black Sky, they were fearless of death and tireless.

Gong Buyu’s eyes finally showed a serious look; at this moment, she no longer held anything back as the Taiyin power within her body flowed without stopping, drawing upon the Earthly Destroyer Path.

Earthly Destroyer Divine Power: Moon Extraction!

As the Taiyin Moonshine rained down, a bright moon rose from within the Great Black Sky, tearing it apart completely, revealing the figure of the black-robed man with a torn robe.

Under the light of Taiyin Moonshine, those relentless strange creatures turned into dark dust and disbanded explosively, leaving only the normal ice crystals on the ground.

The moon’s relentless force continued, carrying the mighty heavenly authority as it crashed down upon the black-robed man.

“Boom!”

A fierce explosion sounded from within the Enlightenment Pavilion, and the many defensive formations constructed there shattered, leaving only the main structure built of Spirit Wood barely intact.

A black figure was thrown into the ground, creating a deep crater, as Gong Buyu, stepping on the frosty ice, took big strides out of the Enlightenment Pavilion, and the bone-chilling ice continued to spread in all directions.

At this moment, the Imperial Capital Marketplace was already filled with many soldiers wearing rune armor, and three Colonels stationed there, holding the Commander’s Seal, stood ready, watching the battle that had erupted before them.
