Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Chapter 068Book 08 : Crown Prince Gu Ming

The Huang Heavenly Dynasty’s golden blessings dragon roared, and the citizens heard Ji Dihong’s voice. They raised their hands and lent their energy to Ji Dihong.

The golden dragon roared and rushed towards Ji Dihong, carrying the citizens’ energy. It looked like he would soon gain overwhelming strength—enough strength to break out of the pennant and turn the tide.

However, Ji Dihong looked horrified.

Not far away, Gu Hai held Chiyou’s head, which suddenly floated into the air. Chiyou’s hair threshed about like tentacles waving in all directions while his eyes opened.

The instant Chiyou’s eyes opened, a strange sound came from his mouth, “!@#$%^&*”

As if Chiyou had cast a curse, Ji Dihong’s forehead suddenly emitted thick black gas carrying a certain energy of his. It abruptly separated from Ji Dihong, floating straight for Gu Hai.

“No, no, the Spiritual Progenitor deity king’s energy? It’s ours! It’s ours! It can’t be!” Ji Dihong exclaimed in shock.

“What you took away from me was never truly yours. Without my help, you can never refine the energy of my Spiritual Progenitor deity king. While you are restrained and unable to destroy my head, I can reclaim it. Hahaha!” Chiyou’s head laughed sinisterly.

“Chiyou? You’re just a remnant will!” Ji Dihong protested.

“So what if I’m just a remnant will? Even as a remnant will, I can reclaim what’s mine. After all, I refined the Spiritual Progenitor deity king. I can give it to anyone I want!” Chiyou retorted with a malevolent grin.

Boom!

The roiling black mist surged towards Gu Hai. With a start, Gu Hai’s Spiritual Progenitor deity king opened its mouth and inhaled the energy.

Waves of nourishing energy flowed into Gu Hai’s body. His flesh slowly blackened, densifying.

“Second Brother, thank you for your efforts. This energy of the Spiritual Progenitor deity king was collected by Jiang Lianshan over countless years. Now, I’ll remove my imprint to make it easier for you to refine. With the Hunger Pearl I gave you, the same source of this energy, you will become invincible. Take care, Second Brother!” Chiyou’s head uttered one final shout.

“First Brother, don’t worry. I’ll think of a way to revive you if I gain the ability to!” Gu Hai shouted gratefully.

As the energy of the Spiritual Progenitor deity king was forcibly extracted, Ji Dihong’s skin turned a waxen yellow. The roiling energy left his body, leaving him in a state of exhaustion and despair.

“It’s ours! It’s all ours! Chiyou, we should have utterly destroyed you back then, down to the dust! Argh!” Ji Dihong roared in despair.

Even though the golden blessings dragon rushed over, giving Ji Dihong more strength, his anger could not be quelled. He now felt incredible regret and rage.

However, something even more devastating happened to Ji Dihong.

Many citizens stood in the mountains and forests around Xuanyuan City’s prior location. However, nine figures stood in a secluded area.

The leader, standing in the center, was the Huang Nation’s Mister Starless.

Eight other black-robed figures took up positions, forming an eight trigram diagram, and activated the talisman scripts they had carved on the ground beforehand.

“Start!” Mister Starless shouted.

Boom!

This eight trigram diagram activated. A colossal image of the eight trigrams appeared in the sky and sent down two humongous beams of light.

One beam shot at Mister Starless, and the other headed for the trapped Ji Dihong.

“What?” The countless Huang Nation citizens in the surroundings appeared shocked.

Ji Dihong’s entire body suddenly trembled. Then, as though his forehead had been ripped open, a small, human-shaped clump of light got pulled out.

Far away, a small, human-shaped clump of light also flew out of Mister Starless’s forehead.

Beneath the light of the eight trigram image, the two small figures suddenly flew towards each other, swapping positions.

“No! Our divine Dao plundering! Who! Who is it?!” Ji Dihong roared ferociously in shock.

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Cangjie kept his eyes trained in Xuanyuan City’s direction.

When he saw Essence Genesis appear, Cangjie fell back to the stone stool, knowing that Ji Dihong was in trouble and that Gu Hai had struck a fatal blow. However, when Chiyou took back the Spiritual Progenitor deity king’s energy, Cangjie showed a bitter smile. “What’s not His Holy Eminence’s will never be His Holy Eminence’s, after all. Hah…. Your Holy Eminence, you underestimated Chiyou!”

The outcome was clear.

In the next instant, the eight trigram image appeared. Cangjie leaped to his feet in shock.

“The Divine Physical Soul Swapping Technique! This is a lifespan cultivator’s technique! A lifespan cultivator?! There’s a lifespan cultivator? Is it the Unborn Man?” Cangjie exclaimed.

“No! The Unborn Man is there, at the entrance of the Lifespan Court, looking at Xuanyuan City, too.” Gu Han turned his head to glance at the nearby Unborn Man.

The Unborn Man, no, many people in Borderless Heavenly Capital stared in Xuanyuan City’s direction, watching events unfold over there.

“Not the Unborn Man?” Cangjie also saw the nearby Unborn Man.

But if it is not the Unborn Man, who can it be?

“Mister Starless?” Cangjie suddenly shouted in shock and rage.

Cangjie finally saw the other person the eight trigram image illuminated.

Mister Starless? It is actually Mister Starless?

------

Xuanyuan City:

“Return our divine Dao plundering! Return our divine physical soul!” Ji Dihong roared in rage.

In the short time he was restrained, not only had Gu Hai plundered his impenetrable body, but his divine Dao plundering had also been taken. He now had a different divine physical soul. When Mister Starless’s divine physical soul entered his forehead, he could tell it belonged to Mister Starless. This divine physical soul was pitifully weak, utter trash.

Why would I need this divine physical soul?

Rumble…!

By the time all the citizens’ energy poured into Ji Dihong’s body, the energy of Chiyou’s Spiritual Progenitor deity king had entered Gu Hai’s body. Now, Gu Hai’s skin was black and would take some time to recover.

Chiyou also closed his eyes.

Gu Hai then sent Chiyou’s head into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

------

On the other side, Mister Starless used a lifespan Dao technique to swap divine physical souls with Ji Dihong, plundering the divine Dao plundering.

“We’ll kill you! We’ll kill you! Argh!” Ji Dihong broke out in a rage.

Boom!

A loud report rang out as Ji Dihong drove the power of his nation. An immense force exploded the Essence Genesis Pennant. As strong as the Essence Genesis Pennant was, it could no longer contain Ji Dihong.

Although Ji Dihong’s strength reached his peak, he had lost two trump cards. His wrath knew no bounds.

His immense aura burned like flames, sending shattered stones shooting out in all directions.

Ji Dihong had three powerful enemies before him: Essence Genesis, Gu Hai, and Mister Starless.

Nearby, Essence Genesis showed no concern over Ji Dihong destroying his Essence Genesis Pennant. It was as though he had not seen it, as he continued interrogating Fengbo.

Fengbo instinctively spilled everything, explaining why Ji Dihong had wanted to kill Sect Master Heavenly Access, how he had done it, and how he had wiped the evidence.

Essence Genesis already had his fists clenched, but he did not turn around to look at Ji Dihong. However, he radiated a bone-chilling murderous intent, causing the ambient temperature to plummet.

The citizens in the surroundings saw the overwhelming, burning rage Ji Dihong gave off, and their bodies trembled with fear, shock, horror, and cold.

The nearby Gu Hai could understand Essence Genesis’s murderous intent.

Ji Dihong was powerful after driving the power of his nation, but Gu Hai thought better of Essence Genesis’s chances. While Essence Genesis was normally emotionless, when he broke out in a rage, he could destroy everything.

Essence Genesis had destroyed all the living beings in the Southern Sea in his rage. He had destroyed all the living beings in the flawed immortal firmament in his rage.

This was someone who would kill an entire family over a simple disagreement.

So what if Ji Dihong drove the power of his nation? Right now, Essence Genesis was even more furious than the previous two times. When he turned enraged, he could kill everyone in the Huang Heavenly Dynasty. By then, Ji Dihong’s blessings would be useless.

Although Gu Hai had an enmity with Ji Dihong, the Huang Heavenly Dynasty citizens did not deserve to die. Gu Hai’s face sank as he tried to think of a solution.

“Mister Starless? Hahahaha! We treated you well, very well. To think you were just waiting for this day to plunder our divine Dao plundering?! Hah! Hahaha! You, Gu Hai, and Essence Genesis will all die today! We hate betrayal the most, so we will kill you first!” Ji Dihong snarled ferociously as he attacked.

The nearby Mister Starless’s expression changed.

Mister Starless simply wanted to take advantage of the situation. He had not expected Ji Dihong to target him first.

“Father?” Mister Starless appeared anxious.

Gu Hai shouted, “Ji Dihong, Mister Starless is a Han Nation crown prince, Gu Ming! We sent him to spy on you!”

Gu Hai’s shout drew Ji Dihong’s attention.

“Your son?” Ji Dihong’s eyes turned bloodshot.

“We have four sons, Gu Qin, Gu Han, Gu Tang, and Gu Ming. Sun, moon, and stars. Starless means sun and moon. The characters for ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ together make the character for ‘Ming.’ You just never figured it out. Direct your fury at us. We are waiting for you!” Gu Hai shouted.

After shouting, Gu Hai soared into the sky.

“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! It should be you, then. I do have to deal with you. It is all because of you!” Ji Dihong charged after Gu Hai, his eyes seeming to spew red light.

“Tenth Cycle!”

Gu Hai swung his Life Executioner Saber at Ji Dihong.

“Die!” With a ferocious expression, Ji Dihong threw a punch.

After driving the power of the Huang Heavenly Dynasty, he gained immense strength. Back when Chiyou attacked Xuanyuan City, he repulsed Chiyou with this.

Boom!

A loud report rang out as the manifested saber shattered. The great force instantly smashed Gu Hai into outer space.

Ji Dihong was simply too strong now, not someone Gu Hai could handle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gu Hai crashed through a hundred planetary bodies. His clothes became tattered, but his physical body remained fine, sustaining not a single scratch. With the energy from Chiyou’s Spiritual Progenitor deity king, the strength of his physical body had reached its peak. Even after crashing through so many planetary bodies, he was utterly unscathed.

Gu Hai’s eyes lit up; he finally thought of a way to save the Huang Nation citizens.

“Ji Dihong, have you not eaten yet? Why is your punch so weak? Hahahaha!” Gu Hai shouted, and his voice immediately reached Ji Dihong below.

After Ji Dihong knocked Gu Hai into outer space with a punch, he wanted to deal with Essence Genesis and Mister Starless. However, Gu Hai’s mockery caused his expression to turn cold.

“Since you want to die first, we will grant you that!” Ji Dihong said coldly.

Ji Dihong extended his hand, pointing at the ground, and performed a pulling motion.

“Roar!”

A large dragon vein rushed out of the ground. This was the Huang Nation’s new dragon vein, much smaller than the previous one. However, it turned into a sword like the previous one. Ji Dihong grabbed it.

This new Xuanyuan Sword was not as powerful as the one before, but Ji Dihong still wanted to use it to cut down Gu Hai.

Boom!

Ji Dihong charged into outer space.

Gu Hai glared as he flew farther into the depths of outer space, planning to lure Ji Dihong into the void.

Boom!

Ji Dihong swung the new Xuanyuan Sword, tearing Gu Hai’s clothes further and sending him shooting faster into the depths of outer space.

Although Gu Hai could not handle Ji Dihong, Ji Dihong could not hurt him, either. His physical body was practically impenetrable; not even the Xuanyuan Sword could harm him.

Slowly, the citizens lost sight of Gu Hai and Ji Dihong.

Essence Genesis remained at the original location, interrogating Fengbo. Of course, he had already understood the situation by this time.

“So, that’s what happened?! Haha! So, that’s what happened!” Essence Genesis showed a faint smile.

However, this faint smile carried a bone-chilling murderous intent.

Cangjie took a deep breath and said, “Such an Essence Genesis is the scariest. Even from such a distance, even this far, I can sense his murderous intent? How horrifying!”
