Breaking Through a Few More Major Realms Won't Help — Did You Grab the Wrong Script?
Breaking Through a Few More Major Realms Won’t Help — Did You Grab the Wrong Script?
From the moment Gu Changge made his move to Long Teng’s full-powered resistance, not much time had actually passed.
In just a few brief exchanges, Gu Changge had sent Long Teng flying, then slammed down a palm that shattered both his arms.
Clean and decisive, without the slightest drag.
Combined with what he had said earlier, it all seemed perfectly natural.
Everyone watching this scene was shaken to their very core at this moment.
“Looks like this guy has had quite a few fortuitous encounters lately. He probably went grave-robbing someone’s ancestral tomb again... I knew he wouldn’t stay quiet.”
If there was anyone completely unsurprised by this, it was Yue Mingkong.
She considered herself the person who understood Gu Changge best.
She knew his measure.
And she understood his mind.
Long Teng’s cultivation clearly held a powerful advantage, yet before Gu Changge he couldn’t gain the slightest upper hand.
Instead, he was suppressed at every turn, with no room to fight back.
This was no longer a matter of talent — this was an absolute gap in battle prowess.
Gu Changge’s true strength had long since reached an unfathomable height.
“It really is the Forbidden Domain. Daoxiong Changge has undoubtedly stepped into that level. Otherwise, there’s no way he could easily suppress Long Teng while only at the early Partial-Enlightened Realm...”
“Long Teng really has nothing going for him besides his high cultivation. At the same realm, his true battle strength is at most mid-to-upper tier among Young Prodigies — nowhere near the level of a Walking Taboo.”
“From now on, I’m afraid that aside from the ancient freaks sealed away in dust, no one among the younger generation can contend with Gu Changge anymore.”
Many people couldn’t help but speak up, the shock still lingering in their eyes.
They all knew Gu Changge was strong, but they truly hadn’t expected him to be strong to this degree.
He had suppressed even Long Teng with ease — perhaps only experts of the older generation could contend with Gu Changge now.
Thinking of this, they felt a wave of pressure.
An invisible mountain pressed down upon the heads of many.
“If the Successor of Demonic Arts ever shows himself in the future, I’m afraid only Young Master Changge will be able to stand against him.”
“Speaking of which, there hasn’t been any news of the Taboo Demonic Arts successor lately. Did he not sneak in? If that’s really the case, that would be great.”
At this moment, many young prodigies were discussing among themselves.
Many heavenly maidens gazed at that figure, their eyes filled with strange brilliance, wishing they could offer themselves up to his bed.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Ancient Continent’s native beings all showed deep apprehension and gravity, their earlier arrogance completely gone.
At first, they had looked down on the prodigies from the outside world because their cultivation was stronger.
But this scene proved that even though the outside prodigies’ cultivation was inferior, their strength surpassed theirs.
Gu Changge... was powerful enough to make them tremble!
“At this point, do you have any last words you’d like to say?”
Gu Changge descended from the sky, white robes fluttering, dark hair dancing, looking as leisurely as if he were strolling through a garden.
With a light chuckle, he stared at Long Teng, whose arms had been smashed to pieces.
“Impossible! How could I lose to you! I still have my strongest Divine Talent that I haven’t used yet!”
Long Teng’s face was pale, without a trace of his earlier proud confidence.
The moment he exchanged blows with Gu Changge, his confidence had been shattered.
Before this, with his formidable cultivation, crushing his young peers had been no problem at all.
But against Gu Changge, none of that worked.
Instead, it was he who was firmly suppressed, in such a miserable state.
“So that’s your last words?”
Gu Changge wore a faint sneer, his gaze like one looking at a tiny ant.
Even experience mobs that actively came to die weren’t as stupid as Long Teng.
At this point, did he still not understand the gap between them?
He struck again!
“Boom!”
As this palm descended, phenomena blotted out the sky, making the heavens themselves seem to tremble before bursting apart entirely.
Heaven and earth spun, and great swathes of mountain peaks crumbled beneath this aura!
“Gu Changge, you...”
Long Teng’s shattered arms tried to regenerate, but at this moment his expression changed drastically, turning uglier than ever. He executed the True Dragon Steps, trying to dodge.
At the same time, a layer of golden light surfaced over his body — brilliant, densely packed dragon scales.
His reaction was already fast enough.
But he was still clipped by the edge of that palm. With a wah, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, coughing out fragments of his shattered organs.
His mind went blank with a buzz.
After all, this was just the aftershock!
Before his body had even made contact, that layer of golden light instantly collapsed, utterly unable to resist in the slightest!
If Gu Changge’s palm had truly struck him, he might well have been slapped into a mist of blood on the spot.
Thinking of this, Long Teng’s entire body went cold.
“How can you be this strong? This is impossible!”
He couldn’t help but roar in disbelief. His cultivation was far greater than Gu Changge’s!
“If I weren’t strong, how would I kill you?” Gu Changge stood with his hands clasped behind his back, wearing the amused expression of one toying with his prey.
He knew Long Teng still had a final trump card hidden away.
So he wasn’t in a hurry. After all, letting him die without ever experiencing despair would be going too easy on Long Teng.
At that moment, the space before Gu Changge blurred. He took a step forward and vanished outright.
The next instant, he appeared right in front of Long Teng.
“You...”
Long Teng was shocked, his eyes widening.
This speed made his very soul shiver — it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Could this be the long-lost supreme divine art, the Distance Shortening Technique?
But before he could react, he saw a fair, slender hand with a jade-like luster reaching toward him.
Very slowly — he could even clearly see its trajectory.
Yet it was impossible to resist, for it contained a profound, unfathomable aura.
Weng!
Endless radiance spread across that hand, as though it were coated in the Power of the Flying Immortal.
The next moment, Long Teng roared, and an ancient aura emerged from his bloodline. The figure of a terrifying True Dragon materialized behind him, proud across the ages, unrivaled and supreme, seeking to repel this hand.
“Useless. Do you still not understand the gap between us?”
Gu Changge looked at him with pity, as if looking at an idiot.
In an instant, space froze, and time itself seemed to halt.
No matter how extraordinary that True Dragon figure was, he dispersed it in a flash.
In any case, the strength of Gu Changge’s physique far exceeded anything at his current realm.
On this point, aside from himself, even if others noticed something, they could never think deeper into it.
After all... he was a Walking Taboo. Was there anything wrong with him possessing a powerful body-tempering art?
The next moment, Gu Changge seized Long Teng by the throat, breaking through his defensive divine art, and lifted him straight up.
“Urk...”
Long Teng’s arms were shattered; he was now completely unable to fight back. His face flushed red — he was stifled to the absolute extreme.
This sight, in everyone’s eyes, looked exactly like Gu Changge holding up a drowned dead dog.
From beginning to end, Long Teng hadn’t shown the slightest ability to resist.
“Lord Long Teng...”
The native beings of the Celestial Ancient Continent all looked as if the sky had fallen.
The invincible Lord Long Teng in their eyes was now being held in the enemy’s hand like a dead dog.
This enormous gap was something they simply couldn’t bear.
“How is this possible? This isn’t real!”
Some female beings cried out, unable to accept it, and fainted on the spot, eyes rolling back.
For many beings, today’s scene would become a lifelong nightmare.
The spiritual pillar they had followed and admired for over a decade had collapsed just like that, leaving their vision dark and their legs weak.
“The Long Aotian trope isn’t in fashion anymore these days. Long Teng, ah, you were simply born in the wrong era,” Gu Changge said with a casual laugh.
He spoke words Long Teng couldn’t understand.
As the force in his hand increased, accompanied by cracking sounds, Long Teng’s bones broke, and he couldn’t help but let out low screams of pain.
“Ah... This is too much bullying!”
“Gu Changge, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Long Teng roared, his eyes red.
If he couldn’t slay Gu Changge today, he would surely suffer endless humiliation — a stain he could never wash away for the rest of his life.
“You’re a bit late saying that.” Gu Changge’s gaze gradually turned dark and deep as he stared at the pair of dragon horns on Long Teng’s head.
Against a Fortuitous One with a Long Aotian template like this, the best method was crushing him outright.
Because he was brainless and fearless.
Elaborate schemes used on him would only seem bloated and useless.
At this point, he felt the time was about right.
Whether the Fortuity Plundering Talisman succeeded mainly depended on the state the target was in.
Just then, seven-colored light suddenly emerged from within Long Teng’s body.
This aura was incredibly powerful, containing unparalleled life force, surging violently.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure appeared between heaven and earth. Long Teng seemed to be undergoing a metamorphosis at this moment — he actually broke free of Gu Changge’s grip.
His damaged physique was healing, astonishing vitality reviving.
Space trembled and shook continuously, as if unable to bear this pressure!
His Peak Partial-Enlightened Realm cultivation broke through to the True Enlightened Realm in one go, far stronger than before.
This scene once again caused an uproar all around.
Many people’s eyes went wide. Long Teng’s worshippers grew excited and cheered, unable to contain their surging emotions.
Some were so moved they shed tears, trembling as they said, “Lord Long Teng, born invincible — how could he possibly lose?”
“Today is just a minor setback. That great villain surnamed Gu will pay the price he deserves,” they said excitedly.
At this moment, they even forgot who had provoked this conflict in the first place.
Now that Long Teng was being easily crushed by Gu Changge, looking miserable, he had instead become the underdog.
They had thought Long Teng was finished, but at the critical moment, facing mortal danger, his cultivation actually broke through, and he survived a brush with death!
Now many beings believed Long Teng would reverse the situation, forcefully turn everything around, and wash away his humiliation.
“So this is your hidden final trump card? Breaking through at the critical moment, tsk tsk tsk...”
Gu Changge was actually a bit surprised by this, but thinking it over carefully, he wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, breaking through mid-battle was the privilege of a Fortuitous One!
Whenever they faced a great enemy or mortal danger, they could break through and forcefully reverse the tide.
He was all too familiar with this trope from his past life!
Back then, seeing this kind of plot had genuinely pained his balls — he’d wanted to crack open those dumbass authors’ skulls to see what was stuffed inside.
Gu Changge never expected that he’d now personally encounter an opponent breaking through mid-battle.
The timing of this breakthrough was way too contrived — probably something about Long Teng exploding with potential, a stroke of luck, that sort of thing.
However, against him, Long Teng could break through a few more major realms mid-battle and it still wouldn’t help.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge’s expression turned rather playful.
“Gu Changge, didn’t expect this, did you? Destiny is on my side. Today, you’re fated to become a corpse!”
Long Teng roared, standing at the edge of the sky, divine flames burning all over his body, runes blazing brilliantly, his blood energy surging.
His head was crystalline and translucent, divine fire burning from head to toe. His cultivation had skyrocketed, more than several times stronger than before.
At this moment, he regained his confident, cold, all-disdaining expression.
“Did you grab the wrong script? Isn’t your cultivation higher than mine?”
Gu Changge maintained his utterly unconcerned attitude, speaking casually with a faint smile.
From that expression, Long Teng saw mockery and amusement.
This made his anger flare again. He had now broken through to the True Enlightened Realm, his cultivation several times stronger than before.
He could definitely kill Gu Changge, this opponent stronger than himself!
That’s right — a powerful opponent at the early Partial-Enlightened Realm!
“I’m done playing with you. After all, despair is the best time for plundering.”
At this, Gu Changge smiled calmly.
He extended his joined fingers forward.
Zheng zheng zheng!
Heaven-shaking Sword Qi appeared in the void, carrying the intent to slay all things. Within the void, there even seemed to be a sea of blood rising and falling, piled bones of Immortal’s Corpses!
Above, it felled Immortal Kings; below, it slew defiant immortals!
Endless Immortal Art.
At this moment, a peerless Bronze Celestial Sword seemed to appear in Gu Changge’s hand.
“This is...” Many Young Prodigies’ pupils shrank violently, their faces changing drastically.
The Celestial Ancient beings likewise paled, scared out of their wits, trembling all over.
“That terrifying sword art that executed the Seventh Princess of the Ancient Sea Palace!”
One Young Prodigy, his face filled with dread to the extreme, could feel this terrifying pressure even from far away.
In a trance, they saw a Bronze Celestial Sword slashing across the vast universe, capable of destroying chaos itself!
Chi!
Gu Changge strode through the void, like a peerless sword immortal.
For him, looking cool was all that mattered.
As for the offensive power of this Sword Qi — it contained the sharpness of both the Endless Immortal Art and the Hepta-Metal Source.
Whoever came would bleed.
“How does this guy have so many tricks...”
Long Teng’s cold, confident expression changed drastically, somewhat unable to believe it.
Seeing a sword light slashing down from the sky, before it even drew near, countless cracks were torn across his body by the Sword Qi — he was about to burst apart.
He was scared out of his wits!
He had thought Gu Changge had already gone all out before — otherwise, how could he have lost?
But now, Gu Changge’s methods were clearly even more powerful than before. This made him feel despair, and even a trace of regret.
“I refuse to believe it!”
Long Teng roared, resisting desperately, sensing the terrifying killing intent.
Today, he might very well perish here.
Even if the elders of his clan broke the rules to save him, they likely wouldn’t make it in time!
He regretted it now — why hadn’t he had the clan elders secretly follow him, breaking the rules, when he left the clan grounds?
Boom!
The void trembled!
That was pure, certain-kill intent. An icy aura coiled around Long Teng’s head, as if it might fall off the next moment.
At the critical moment, his eyes turned red. He burned his Blood Essence, unleashing his final trump card, breaking free of that certain-death law-intent!
“Crack!”
But the hardest dragon horn on his head was severed, falling to the ground with a thud, five-colored blood splashing from it.
Gu Changge’s joined fingers slashed down casually as he continued striding forward at extreme speed!
“You...” Long Teng’s face was full of terror and despair, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his body unsteady.
“Don’t kill me...”
“Plunder.”
Gu Changge was utterly cold, with only these two words.
The Fortuity Plundering Talisman activated.
At the same time, a strand of Sword Qi, its edge seemingly able to destroy heaven and earth, easily pierced through Long Teng’s brow — straight through, front to back!
