Chapter 29 was just a quick pat?
"Who are you..."
Bing Kui's movements stalled. He narrowed his giant eyes, which shimmered with a cold light, and looked toward the source of the voice.
The young man was dressed in white robes.
In the midst of the battlefield, filled with snow and blood, he seemed completely out of place, as if he had stepped out of an ink wash painting, an immortal descended to the Mortal world.
A mere Mortal?
Judging by his bone age, he was barely over twenty, and his aura was utterly unremarkable, as if he were a Mortal with no cultivation.
A Mortal, daring to speak to him in such a tone at a time like this?
Bing Kui laughed, "Where did this bug come from? If you don't know how to show reverence, then die here and become nourishment for this Dragon Palace."
He couldn't be bothered to do it himself, so he just moved his mind.
His Divine Sense shot toward the center of Gu Heng's brow like a sharp arrow!
Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Palace's grand formation, Prime Minister Turtle, who had despairingly closed his eyes, felt his heart jump violently upon hearing the voice and quietly opened a slit in his eyelids.
When he saw the expression of ignorant fearlessness on Gu Heng's face, the faint flame of hope that had just ignited was extinguished by despair once more.
It's over.
Which ignorant hothead is this, stumbling into this shura field where gods are fighting?
"Hahaha, is this human boy crazy?"
"Daring to speak to the Yao Race Emperor Bing Kui like that, who does he think he is?"
"Just watch, in the next moment, he's going to have his mind crushed into idiocy by the Yao Race Emperor's Divine Sense!"
Behind Bing Kui, the Yao Race army burst into raucous laughter.
Even on the Dragon Palace side, some young Dragon Clan warriors, whose spirits had collapsed, couldn't help but show expressions of mockery.
"Stupid humans, always so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
"What a pity, he actually looks quite handsome."
The wind and snow howled, blowing the mockery away.
The scene of the young man bleeding from his seven orifices, which everyone had anticipated, did not occur.
He remained standing in place, even picking his ear with interest, as if the fatal Divine Sense attack had been nothing more than a gentle breeze.
"Hmm?"
The smile on Bing Kui's face stiffened.
What is going on?
His Divine Sense strike, though casual, should have injured the Divine Soul of even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator, turning them into a walking corpse, let alone a Mortal.
Yet, the young man before him was completely unharmed?
Could it be... that he had misjudged him?
"This is interesting."
Bing Kui slowly withdrew his fist, which was prepared to strike the grand protective formation, and finally looked at Gu Heng properly. His massive Divine Sense surged out again like a tidal wave.
As his Divine Sense swept over, Bing Kui's expression became increasingly ugly.
His Divine Sense probed into him, yet it was like a clay ox entering the sea, not causing even the slightest ripple.
Furthermore, he couldn't even see through the opponent's cultivation Realm; he could only sense a vast expanse of Chaos.
How is this possible?!
A stormy sea surged in Bing Kui's heart.
There were only two types of people whose cultivation he couldn't see through. One possessed a supreme treasure capable of isolating Divine Sense probing, and the other... was someone whose cultivation was far above his own!
The former might be possible, but the latter...
Bing Kui immediately dismissed this absurd thought.
A young man in his early twenties, how high could his cultivation possibly be?
He himself, as the emperor of the Ice Soul Titan clan, a favorite of heaven and earth, had Cultivated for a full eight thousand years, experiencing life and death, before luckily achieving a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
Even if this kid started Cultivating from the womb, it was impossible for him to be stronger than himself!
He must have some secret treasure on him!
"Kid, there is something strange about you."
"Hand over your secret treasure, and this Emperor can spare your life and make you the top warrior under my command!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng seemed to have heard some huge joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Warrior? Not interested."
He waved his hand, "I said, I'm just passing by. You guys continue, just pretend I don't exist."
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Killing intent flashed in Bing Kui's eyes, "Since you are seeking death, then this Emperor will grant your wish!"
The space around him began to distort, and terrifying, heart-stopping fluctuations began to condense with him at the center.
However, the moment he was about to act, the expression on his face instantly froze.
He discovered with astonishment that the Law power he was so proud of, which was enough to freeze a Divine Soul, had silently dissolved.
"Th-this is..."
Bing Kui's voice trembled slightly.
At this time, those low-cultivation Yao were still ignorantly mocking; they simply couldn't understand the world in the eyes of a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert.
"Why hasn't His Majesty the Yao Emperor attacked yet?"
"He's probably planning to slowly torture this ignorant human to death!"
But among the Yao crowd, several old Yao who had lived for thousands of years had sensed that something was wrong.
Watching their own Yao Emperor's unprecedented expression of horror and feeling the suffocating pressure in the air, they were all so scared that they dared not make a sound, their Demonic Qi nearly dissipating.
Finally, a thousand-year-old fox Yao who served as a military advisor under Bing Kui used all his strength to let out a warped scream:
"Wrong! He is not a Mortal! His cultivation... is... is Half-step Tribulation Transcendence!"
The scream instantly ignited the entire scene!
"What? Half-step Tribulation Transcendence?!"
"What kind of joke is this! Him?"
"That fox demon must be scared stupid, right? A twenty-year-old human, how could he be a Half-step Tribulation Transcendence!"
The mocking laughter continued, but the voices were much weaker and seemed somewhat wavering.
Inside the Dragon Palace's grand formation, when Prime Minister Turtle heard the words "Half-step Tribulation Transcendence," two rays of sharp light shot from his eyes!
His lips trembled, and he stared at Gu Heng, his heart about to jump out of his throat.
Could it be... could it be that His Majesty the Dragon King had manifested and sent reinforcements?
But... he is too young!
Prime Minister Turtle's shock was far less than the horror in Bing Kui's heart.
Half-step Tribulation Transcendence?
Such a young Half-step Tribulation Transcendence?!
He suspected that he had unknowingly fallen into some extremely sophisticated illusion formation.
Otherwise, how could such a thing that defies common sense appear in this world!
Bing Kui immediately and secretly mobilized his Origin Demonic Qi, activating the Bloodline Divine Ability of the Ice Soul Titan clan.
Eye of Truth-Seeing!
A blue light flashed in his eyes; all falsehoods in the world would have nowhere to hide from his gaze.
However, the scene in his vision did not change at all.
No illusion formation!
Just as Bing Kui's mind was shaken violently and his Dao Heart slipped,
Gu Heng moved.
He took a step forward.
This step was very light, very slow, like a Mortal taking a walk after a meal.
As this step landed.
Boom—
The entire Far North Ice Field, and even the heavens and earth of the entire North Province, seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.
With Gu Heng as the center, a supreme aura erupted!
Above the sky, the cloudless firmament instantly became as deep as ink.
Billions of stars appeared, slowly rotating while surrounding the invisible supreme Law.
[Ding, Tribulation Transcendence Stage Peak cultivation "Passing By" successful! The Divine Light of Induction will descend tomorrow!]
"Th-this is impossible..."
Bing Kui felt this pressure that made his Soul tremble, and he completely collapsed.
He wanted to flee, but his body, along with his Divine Soul, was nailed to the spot by an inexplicable force; moving even a finger had become a luxury.
The next instant, the young man appeared beside him without warning.
Gu Heng raised his hand and, as if brushing off dust, gently patted Bing Kui's stiff shoulder.
"You've worked hard."
"Leave the rest to me."
Bing Kui widened his eyes in disbelief; he wanted to roar, to question.
Leave it to you?
Leave what to you?
But he no longer had the chance.
A power of annihilation transmitted from the young man's palm.
Bing Kui's Yao body, amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, disintegrated inch by inch, turning into particles and dissipating into the wind and snow.
His Soul didn't even have time to let out a wail before it was completely wiped away, leaving nothing behind.
A Tribulation Transcendence Stage Yao Emperor, one of the top combat powers in the North Province, just like that... was gone.
The snow continued to drift.
What remained were the dumbfounded Dragon Clan members, and a group of leaderless, trembling Yao Race army.
Prime Minister Turtle opened his mouth wide.
The cane in his hand dropped into the snow, and his heart, which had lived for over ten thousand years, seemed to stop beating.
What did he see?
Just a gentle pat on the shoulder...
A Tribulation Transcendence Yao Emperor who had intimidated the North Province for thousands of years, just like that... Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering?
What kind of power level is this?
Even if a True Immortal from the Upper Realm descended, it wouldn't be anything more than this, right?!
Prime Minister Turtle's expression changed dozens of times in just a few breaths.
He tremblingly picked up his cane again, not knowing what he was thinking, and then his breathing became heavier and heavier.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, and in his old, murky eyes, a light of determination to die erupted!
His face became extremely ferocious, blue veins bulged on his forehead. He raised his cane and used all the strength of his life to let out an extremely shrill roar at all the Dragon Clan warriors behind him!
"Little ones!!!"
"Bing Kui is dead!!!"
"All Yao! To protect the legacy of His Majesty the Dragon King..."
A roar, tragic and resolute.
The hearts of all the Dragon Clan warriors instantly jumped to their throats!
Even Prime Minister Turtle had resolved to die; as members of the Dragon Clan, even if they were facing a True Immortal, they absolutely could not retreat a single step!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless young Dragon Clan warriors had red eyes; they gripped their weapons tightly, their Demonic Qi burning, preparing to rush out of the formation and use their own flesh and blood to meet that invincible god!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Prime Minister Turtle.
Prime Minister Turtle nodded fiercely and turned around.
With a thud, he knelt on the ice, threw his cane aside, prostrated himself, and shouted heart-rendingly:
"Kneel!!!"
"Pfft..."
The Dragon Clan warriors stumbled.
The entire Dragon Palace, inside and out, fell into silence once again.
All the Yao stared blankly at the old turtle kneeling on the ground with his butt in the air.
Huh?
Huh???
