Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 784 Defying Heaven to Slay Immortals!
Dragon throne!
At this moment, Xiang Qianqiu had undergone a completely different transformation from before. His whole body was shrouded in an aura of majesty and power, making people tremble with fear.
Xiang Qianqiu slowly raised his head, his eyes deep as an abyss with no end in sight. His expression was calm and indifferent, giving Chen Yuan a familiar feeling.
Jingtai!
He was so similar to Jingtai back then. If not for the difference in appearance, his temperament alone made him seem to be carved from the same mold.
"Chen Yuan... My son..."
Xiang Qianqiu's voice was quite deep as he called out again, his eyes falling on Chen Yuan, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
"Since I can't be a true emperor, being a fake emperor in this secret realm isn't bad."
Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Indeed. Your father originally had a chance to ascend the throne, but unfortunately, because of you, everything was lost, and my forces were completely destroyed. I had no choice but to lure you here.
To be honest, your father really regretted it a little back then. I shouldn't have treated you that way. If I had kept you by my side and taught you carefully, perhaps today's scene wouldn't have happened."
Xiang Qianqiu's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something unrelated to him. Now, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to act.
This secret realm was isolated from the world, and they had plenty of time.
Even if the battle between Moro and the Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall ended, Xiang Qianqiu could be sure that the other party would never be able to find the location of this secret realm in the vast void.
This was the powerful foundation of a thousand-year-old royal family!
Even if the dynasty was overthrown, the Xiang family still had the confidence to make a comeback.
"Unfortunately, there aren't so many ifs in this world."
"Yes... So... your father has now decided to give you a new opportunity. If you and I join forces, your father will fully support you in ascending the throne from now on.
But as a price, you need to change your surname to Xiang and replace Yan with Chu."
"Heh, different circumstances lead to different conditions indeed." Chen Yuan laughed without restraint. The condition the other party proposed at the Goddess Palace was for him to submit to them. He would be the emperor, while Chen Yuan could only be the crown prince, and the throne would only be passed on to him after the world was stabilized.
"This is one situation, and that was another. Your father was defeated by you before, so naturally, I have to lower my conditions. Otherwise, you might still think I'm daydreaming."
"Your conditions aren't impossible to agree to."
"So, you've agreed?"
Xiang Qianqiu leaned forward slightly, staring directly at Chen Yuan as he asked.
"I can agree, but you have to agree to one condition of mine as well."
"Speak."
Chen Yuan put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice:
"What you seek is nothing more than the restoration of Chu. I can help you fulfill this wish, but the grudges between you and me cannot be settled just like that.
Now, commit suicide here and use your life to wash away the grudges between us. Let bygones be bygones, how about it?"
"It seems you're still not sincere."
Xiang Qianqiu frowned, disappointment in his eyes. Chen Yuan's proposal was not unfamiliar to him. That was the same condition the other party had given him in front of the Goddess Palace.
Now, it remained unchanged.
"It's you who isn't sincere."
"Do you want me to die so much? If your father doesn't die, I can definitely become a great help to you in the future."
"It's still that same sentence from before. I can't rest easy if you don't die."
"Hehehe... Hahaha... You... are still too young. You value your emotions too much. Such a personality can't make you a qualified emperor."
Xiang Qianqiu suddenly laughed.
"Then, what do you think it takes to be a qualified emperor?"
"Benefits. Value benefits above all else. My death is only the resolution of your grudges, but if I don't die, do you know how many benefits you can get?"
"No, your death is the way to maximize my benefits." Chen Yuan didn't trust Xiang Qianqiu, not at all. Because the other party, like him, had a personality that valued benefits above all else.
He might sell him out someday.
Death was the most beneficial to him, because Chen Yuan could obtain celestial guidance through the destiny within the other party, and then gain opportunities and improve his strength.
"You really think you can kill me?"
"Then, you lured me here. Do you think you can kill me?"
Chen Yuan retorted.
Xiang Qianqiu's gaze suddenly condensed. The next moment, an extremely terrifying aura instantly rose, covering half of the secret realm. At the same time, there was a virtual flower above his head.
It was condensed from the rules!
Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, revealing shock. He didn't expect that during his seclusion and breakthrough, Xiang Qianqiu had also raised his cultivation to the Sixth Realm!
Becoming a true immortal!
"What about now? Do you still think you can kill me?"
"You've cultivated your primordial spirit to the Sixth Realm. Could it be that... you're willing to sever the path of the Sixth Realm of the physical body? Or are the vows you made before just empty words?"
Chen Yuan asked with a condensed voice.
"I didn't lie to you. If you want to cultivate both to the Sixth Realm and step into the path of the Martial God, you must first break through the physical body and then break through the primordial spirit... It's just...
The defeat last time has already made me lose my chance. Waiting any longer will only make the situation worse. Therefore, when your forces rose sharply and you wanted to swallow the Central Plains, I decided to give up that path after weighing the situation."
Xiang Qianqiu's tone was neither sad nor happy, but his expression still couldn't hide his loneliness. He had planned for so many years, but everything was lost in one morning, and he had no choice but to embark on this path.
If it were possible, he would never have done this.
"I see."
Chen Yuan nodded, as long as Xiang Qianqiu hadn't deceived him.
"I ask you, now... do you still want to attack?"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly:
"You've condensed a flower of rules, which means you've only just entered the Sixth Realm and your realm isn't even stable. You've completely abandoned the path of the physical body, right?"
"What, do you still want to fight me? Do you think you're the original self from the Battle of Liangshan, able to defy the heavens and slay immortals with the God-Slaying Spear? Even if you have such strength,
you haven't yet comprehended the rules, nor do you have a supreme immortal weapon like the God-Slaying Spear!"
Xiang Qianqiu raised an eyebrow, seemingly not knowing where Chen Yuan's confidence came from, to be so arrogant and conceited, wanting to imitate his previous deeds.
"Everything... is not absolute!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth. The next moment, an extremely amazing aura also rose instantly. A void of rules power instantly enveloped his body.
Half-Immortal!!!
"You... comprehended the rules!"
Xiang Qianqiu's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief.
Chen Yuan, had actually broken through!
Comprehending the rules so quickly was completely beyond his expectations. He could be considered a peerless genius, but it had taken him many years to transition from the perfection of artistic conception to the rules.
He knew that Chen Yuan was vastly different from ordinary people, which was why he had to give up his previous thoughts and suppress him with his powerful realm. But he never expected.
In just over a month, the other party... had actually crossed the chasm and broken through to the Half-Immortal realm.
No wonder the other party had been so unscrupulous and confident.
Perhaps, in his opinion, being in the same Half-Immortal realm was enough to kill him. If he was still thinking about walking the path of the Martial God and wasn't willing to break through to plot against him, the outcome would definitely be death!
Xiang Qianqiu's face was gloomy and uncertain, very ugly.
Just as Chen Yuan hadn't anticipated his breakthrough to the Sixth Realm, he hadn't anticipated that this person had also broken through to the Half-Immortal realm, which was equivalent to returning to the situation at the Goddess Palace.
He was a step stronger than him, but that step wasn't enough to crush him.
"In this world, nothing is absolute." Chen Yuan's eyes shone with light. He indeed hadn't expected Xiang Qianqiu's strength and cultivation to change so much.
But before coming, he had made all the preparations and had the confidence to deal with it.
Xiang Qianqiu's confidence was nothing more than his strong cultivation and the God-Slaying Spear, a supreme immortal weapon in his hands. But through the last confrontation, Chen Yuan could basically determine that he had some of the Chu Dynasty Founder's methods on him.
They were left behind when he was transcending the tribulation. The God-Slaying Spear was a great weapon for others, but it might not necessarily be so for him. In this way, the other party's advantage was broken.
As for cultivation...
Xiang Qianqiu had indeed broken through to the Sixth Realm, but he was no longer the Chen Yuan of the past. He had also comprehended the rules. The other party had just entered the Sixth Realm. It was strong, but it wasn't without hope of a fight.
Looking back at the opponents he had encountered along the way, almost every one of them was stronger than him, and he had still been able to win time and time again. This time was no exception.
Xiang Qianqiu could reach the point of defying the heavens and slaying immortals, there was no reason he couldn't!
Today was the day he would slay an immortal!
"Today... I will kill you!"
Chen Yuan took a step forward. His powerful aura stirred up the celestial phenomena, and the entire secret realm shook. The ground cracked, cyan mist escaped, and primordial qi surged.
It was all because of his aura.
"Hehe... Hehehe... Hahaha... Good... Good. We have finally reached this step. Since that's the case, there's nothing to say.
Let's see if your father suppresses you, the rebellious son, or if you can reach the point of slaying an immortal, killing your father and slaying an immortal!"
Xiang Qianqiu suddenly raised his head.
This was the worst situation he had anticipated, but since they had already reached this step, there was nothing to regret. It was nothing more than a fight.
If Chen Yuan could win, it was his ability.
But if he didn't have the ability, then he couldn't blame him for being ruthless and unrighteous.
Terrifying rules power stirred the void, twisting it. The dragon throne beneath him exploded, and the dragon robe moved with the aura, the power reaching its peak.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two sides were silent for a moment. The next moment, the two sides moved together without any more words. The void of the secret realm exploded directly and twisted instantly, like two meteors, directly blasting together.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Terrifying explosive sounds continued to reverberate. The two sides collided with their rules, infinite killing intent, and blood qi were almost simultaneously pushed to the limit. Every punch thrown out almost shattered the void.
This scene was extremely large. The entire secret realm was their battlefield. Distance seemed to have become a decoration between them as they moved. Both sides seemed to want to explode all their anger and killing intent, almost without any reservation.
Indeed, Xiang Qianqiu's cultivation was a step stronger than Chen Yuan's. The rules were enough to condense into a tangible flower, connecting with the heavens and earth, possessing extremely powerful power, and causing the earth to crack and the sky to collapse with a wave of his hand.
But Chen Yuan wasn't made of mud either. He had also comprehended the rules, and his physical body was stronger than Xiang Qianqiu's. The other party's confrontation with him couldn't have a truly crushing advantage.
At least in the short term, Xiang Qianqiu, who had just entered the Sixth Realm, couldn't break through Chen Yuan's rules defense.
At this time, the rules had no attributes, but simply constructed the most essential rules of heaven and earth. The only difference was who comprehended them deeper and stronger.
Therefore, Xiang Qianqiu was able to destroy Sima Ancestor's incarnation in the past. Therefore, no matter what, the other party couldn't suppress Chen Yuan with a wave of his hand now.
His original expectation was naturally not like this. In his imagination, no matter how strong Chen Yuan's talent was, it was impossible for him to comprehend the rules so quickly. In this way, the more powerful rules were the greatest means.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan had exceeded his expectations time and time again. The more he didn't want Chen Yuan to be like this, the more Chen Yuan would show him.
Terrifying rules power intertwined and entangled, like chains, constantly fighting. At the same time, the physical collision between Chen Yuan and Xiang Qianqiu was also extremely terrifying.
Every confrontation was no less than a thunderclap.
Blood qi roared, and thunder rumbled.
This was the most realistic portrayal between their father and son.
"Die!"
Chen Yuan roared, dragon roars shook the sky, black dragons wrapped around him, blood energy surged like rivers, directly turning the area within a hundred feet into blood red, accompanied by his heavy punch.
The entire secret realm trembled with it.
Xiang Qianqiu's eyes were deep and cold, he snorted and welcomed it without any retreat. He had broken through to the Sixth Realm and become an immortal, he didn't believe he still couldn't kill a Half-Immortal!
Terrifying blood qi roars continued to sound. Xiang Qianqiu's right arm shook, and the fist strength shattered the void. The rules continued to entangle, directly and solidly bombarding Chen Yuan's fist.
According to common sense, experts of this level had already broken away from such moves as physical collisions, but for them, who were also cultivating the physical body, this was indeed a very good way to fight.
Seemingly like martial artists of the Lower Three Realms, but in reality, there was a world of difference.
"Boom!!!"
Endless roars exploded. The beaded crown that Xiang Qianqiu was wearing shattered directly, and black hair like a waterfall scattered. The dragon robe on his body was torn apart by the aftermath.
Chen Yuan's black king robe also shattered, and his hair was broken. Both sides groaned at the same time and retreated instantly. The terrifying aftermath was like a tsunami, sweeping in all directions.
The void at the very center of the battle was directly destroyed, revealing the void turbulence of the outside world, as if it had found a vent and was constantly pouring into the secret realm.
The broken area was intensifying and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The secret realm was not a real world, and it was difficult to repair the solid void on its own. These secret realms were all opened up by earth immortal great powers. Once there was a bit of destruction, it would spread throughout the entire secret realm.
"Xiang Qianqiu... You're nothing more than this!"
Chen Yuan was also wearing long hair, his voice as powerful as thunder.
