God Emperor - Chapter 2152
Chapter 2152: Mocker Asking for Insult
In the blink of an eye, Bolan walked up to Chi Kongyue and looked down at her with a smirk in his eyes.
Chi Kongyue was still sitting at the same place, quietly drinking her tea, ignoring Bolan’s presence.
“How insolent. How dare you not stand up to greet Bolan when you see him coming over. You have no manners at all,” a cultivator behind Bolan berated.
Bolan waved his hand and said, “Don’t bother about it. We don’t expect a bastard to know manners.”
“Who are you calling a bastard?”
Chi Kongyue stood up and looked straight at Bolan.
Bolan did not bat an eyelid. “Who doesn’t know that you are the bastard child of Zhang Ruochen and Empress Chi Yao?” he sneered and said. “You do really look like Zhang Ruochen.”
“Not only does she look like Zhang Ruochen, but she also has the same physical condition as Zhang Ruochen. Five-element Chaotic Body is rare. Too bad she’s a bastard child.” Pallas, the giant beside Bolan, nodded.
Hearing this, Chi Kongyue could not help but feel angry no matter how good her manners were. Streaks of Five-element Chaotic Qi flowed out of her body. Each of them was extremely heavy, as if it was going to collapse the surrounding space.
Seeing Chi Kongyue’s reaction, Bolan sat down leisurely and said with a faint smile, “How could a high and mighty God commit herself to a low-rank Saint and give birth to a bastard? What a big joke.”
“I really ‘admire’ Empress Chi Yao for being that desperate. Did all men in Kunlun die?”
Supposedly, Bolan would not have dared to say such blasphemous words, but now that Kunlun had become a Battlefield of Merits, the deities were forbidden to interfere.
Moreover, Empress Chi Yao must have too many things on her plate. She did not have the time to find out if someone was blaspheming.
“Hahaha.”
All of a sudden, the geniuses behind Bolan burst into laughter.
Chi Kongyue’s body could not help but tremble slightly. It was not because of fear but because of anger.
She could not tolerate being called a bastard child and the insults against her most respected father and mother.
Ever since she met Zhang Ruochen in the Celestial Domain of Truth, Chi Kongyue had seriously investigated her origin. She was almost certain that her biological mother was her most respected mentor, Empress Chi Yao. She just did not have the courage to meet her mother.
Or rather, Empress Chi Yao did not want to admit it.
“Shut up.”
Chi Kongyue growled. She gathered streams of Five-element Chaotic Qi in her hand and launched a palm strike at Bolan.
Seeing this, Bolan raised his eyebrows. “You want to fight? A bastard like you dare to compete with me. C’mon, I can even defeat your dad Zhang Ruochen at the same cultivation rank,” he snorted.
As he spoke, Bolan mobilized the Saint Qi in his body and condensed Saint light to meet her palm strike directly.
The geniuses behind Bolan retreated one after another to keep a distance from the two to avoid being affected.
BANG!
The Five-element Chaotic Qi and the Saint light collided, releasing a powerful impact that spread in all directions.
Fortunately, the array formation set up at the Spiritual Lake was powerful that even a Nine-Step Saint King would find it difficult to destroy it.
After the impact, there was no damage on the pavilion building. However, all tables and chairs inside had been turned into ashes.
Swoosh!
Chi Kongyue and Bolan rushed out of the pavilion at the same time and appeared on the misty Spiritual Lake. They stood facing each other, emitting powerful auras.
At this moment, Chi Kongyue stood on the Spiritual Lake. Her purple clothes fluttered in the wind, and Jade Swallow Pendant on her neck emitted a strange glow. She had a cold and dignified temperament similar to that of Empress Chi Yao, radiating ruler demeanor.
A dense Five-element Chaotic Qi surged out from Chi Kongyue and gradually submerged her body. It was as if she wanted to merge with the five elements of the world completely.
Meanwhile, the majestic power of Light emerged from Bolan’s body. Two pairs of platinum wings spread out, and each feather emitted a holy radiance.
“Bolan, teach this bastard a good lesson. Let her understand that she has to respect us, the cultivators from Heavenly Realm. Even if she were Empress Chi Yao, she had to revere Heavenly Realm,” said Pallas, the giant, in a rough voice.
Bolan stared at Chi Kongyue. He said contemptuously, “Kunlun is already at the verge of its doom. It has to rely on Heavenly Realm to survive. You bastard, you don’t know where your place is. Kneel down immediately and serve me as your master, so you can still live even after Kunlun is destroyed.”
Most of the cultivators in the pavilion were gloating. A few of them remained silent and shook their heads.
Anyone could see that Bolan was deliberately looking for trouble with Chi Kongyue. He was trying to provoke her by humiliating her.
It could not be helped because Zhang Ruochen had offended Heavenly Realm too much and caused them a great loss. Empress Chi Yao, similarly, did not submit to them.
Heavenly Realm could not do anything to Zhang Ruochen and Empress Chi Yao for the time being, so they could only vent their anger on Chi Kongyue.
Although some people sympathized with Chi Kongyue, they did not dare to say anything. With the current power of Heavenly Realm, not many dared to offend those cultivators.
Since Bolan had already made his move, Chi Kongyue would probably be at a disadvantage.
Bolan was now a Five-Step Saint King. He had a strong physique. It was a True God’s Body and Supreme Perfection Physique at the same time. On top of that, he was a cultivator of Path of Light.
Chi Kongyue had just become Four-Step Saint King not long ago. Although she owned a Supreme Perfection Physique, her cultivation base was far inferior to Bolan.
Bolan had never lost in any single fight against others at the same cultivation rank, let alone Chi Kongyue whose cultivation rank was lower than his.
Thus, no matter how one looked at it, Chi Kongyue was bound to lose this battle. Although Bolan would not kill her, he would definitely make her suffer.
Chi Kongyue’s aura grew more intimidating. “Kunlun was eternal and indestructible. Compared to ours, your Heavenly Realm is nothing. My father alone can make your Heavenly Realm suffer. You’ll have to pay the price for what you’ve said.” Her tone was icy cold.
“Zhang Ruochen is just a clown. If I was born in the same era as him, I could easily defeat him with one hand.” Bolan was disdainful.
Chi Kongyue did not say further. With a wave of her hand, a large amount of Five-element Chaotic Qi flew out and condensed into a majestic five-colored sacred mountain and pressed down on Bolan.
“Petty tricks.”
Bolan smirked. His majestic Light power transformed into a Saint light sword and slashed toward the five-colored sacred mountain.
Crack!
The sword of Light was invincible. It easily cut the five-colored sacred mountain into two.
At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake. A huge whirlpool emerged under Bolan and released a terrifying suction force.
At the same time, the green and white Divine Purification Flame was released from Chi Kongyue’s body. It turned into a fire dragon and roared toward Bolan.
Seeing Chi Kongyue’s technique, Zhang Ruochen could not help but nod. He was very proud of her.
The unique feature of Five-element Chaotic Body was that it allowed the cultivator to control the five elements and practice all kinds of Saint Techniques of the five elements.
Chi Kongyue was a rare talent for being able to advance Divine Purification Flame to Envoy level so quickly. She was not any less than Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen did not plan to make a move for the time being. Bolan was just a Scion of Angels. He believed that Chi Kongyue could handle him.
After more than a hundred rounds, Chi Kongyue had the upper hand. Moreover, she had only relied on her Five-element Chaotic Body instead of the power of Time.
Suddenly, a world phantom appeared behind Chi Kongyue. It was formed from the Five-element Chaotic Qi.
Instantly, the entire space of the Spiritual Lake was locked down.
Chi Kongyue mobilized her Precepts and Saint Qi to condense a palm strike made of five elements. It was as if she had controlled all five elements of heaven and earth with just one hand.
Bolan’s expression changed slightly. He quickly retracted his platinum wings to protect himself.
BANG!
The five elements palm strike hit the platinum wings and forced Bolan to take a few steps backward. The wings could still block the attack.
Just as Bolan was about to heave a sigh of relief, the palm strike’s attack power suddenly increased by several times.
“Path of Truth.” Bolan was shocked.
Whack!
The platinum wings were broken, and a large amount of Saint blood splashed out. Feathers flew all over the sky.
“Ahhhhhhhh—”
Bolan let out a painful scream. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew backward.
In the end, Bolan crashed into a pavilion and finally stabilized his posture.
Bolan was covered in blood. His wings were broken, his arms were crushed, and there was a dent in his chest. Blood kept spurting out of his mouth, mixed with many pieces of his internal organs.
“How could she be so strong?” Bolan stared at Chi Kongyue, his eyes full of resentment and fear.
Ever since he was born, he had never been defeated. He was said to be invincible among those of the same cultivation rank. Never had he expected he would be defeated by a “Bastard” whom he looked down upon.
Bolan could not accept this outcome. He was almost driven mad by hatred.
He had wanted to humiliate Chi Kongyue, but he was the one who got defeated in the end. No matter how it seemed, he was the one asking for insults.
“How is it possible? Bolan lost!”
“It’s Path of Truth. She can sextuple the attack power of a Saint Technique. Is she going to become the next Zhang Ruochen?”
…
The geniuses watching the battle were all shocked.
Thinking of how they had mocked Chi Kongyue before, they could not help but tremble.
No matter where you were, strength was the most important. It was a fact that would never change.
Swoosh
Pallas and Yan Yu—the elf at Saint Kinghood—showed up beside Bolan in a flash.
“You’ve gone too far!”
Pallas, the giant, shouted. He took out a 30-meter-long giant ax and chopped it down.
Yan Yu held a staff made of Saint Jade in her hand and chanted an incantation. She mobilized the energy of Frost and made the entire Spiritual Lake frozen in an instant.
Thousands of frost blades appeared. Each of them was extremely sharp and could cut through everything. They charged at Chi Kongyue in all directions.
Chi Kongyue was not afraid of the furious attacks of the two. She raised both of his hands and released Divine Purification Flame.
The giant ax was burnt red by Divine Purification Flame. It was so hot that Pallas had no choice but to let go.
The frost blades that filled the sky were all melted and then evaporated.
Divine Purification Flame condensed into two pillars of fire and attacked Pallas and Yan Yu respectively.
Bang!
Pallas and Yan Yu were sent flying at the same time. Their bodies were burnt by Divine Purification Flame. Their injuries were no less severe than Bolan’s.
Seeing Chi Kongyue walking over step by step, Bolan and the other two were terrified.
“What are you trying to do? If you dare to touch us, no one will be able to protect you.” said Bolan who put on a stern face while his heart was trembling in fear.
The other geniuses were also very nervous. If Chi Kongyue accidentally killed Bolan and the other two, everyone present would probably be implicated.
A powerful force appeared and enveloped Bolan and the other two. It gathered together and restricted their strength and mobility.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Instantly, Chi Kongyue swung her palm and gave the three of them a hard slap on their faces as soon as she approached them.
“So what if you are the geniuses of Heaven Realm? My father can suppress you till you are out of breath, so can I. Kunlun is not a place where you can act as you please.”
Chi Kongyue slapped them while shouting at them coldly.
In the blink of an eye, Bolan and the other two had been beaten until their mouths were bleeding and their teeth were falling out. Their faces were swollen, as big as those of pigs.
Bolan and the other two’s eyes were filled with hatred and anger. However, they were helpless and unable to fight back at all.
Finally, Chi Kongyue paused. She stopped slapping them. However, a Saint Sword appeared in her hand.
Swing!
Chi Kongyue’s eyes were cold. She suddenly wielded her sword, and thousands of streaks of sharp Sword Qi burst out.
Snikt!
Pallas’ body was shattered into a rain of blood.
“Serve you right for your blasphemy against a deity,” Chi Kongyue said coldly.
Then, Chi Kongyue pointed the Saint Sword at Bolan and Yan Yu, emitting a terrifying murderous intent. Her temperament at this moment bore more resemblance to Empress Chi Yao’s.
“Kneel down immediately and apologize. Otherwise, you will die.”Chi Kongyue looked at Bolan and Yan Yu coldly. Her face was emotionless like a reaper.
Bolan dared to humiliate her and her parents in public. His action was unforgivable even if he were a deity from Heavenly Realm, let alone he was just a Scion.
In the pavilion, everyone was stunned. They could not believe what they had just witnessed. She had killed a talented cultivator from Heavenly Realm, and now she was forcing them to kneel. Just how insane she was.
‘She is indeed Zhang Ruochen’s daughter.’
Many people thought to themselves.
Zhang Ruochen and Chi Kongyue were both so unscrupulous and decisive. No one would believe that they were not father and daughter.
Bolan and Yan Yu were both angry and shocked. They had never thought that Chi Kongyue would actually dare to kill them. It made their blood froze.
However, it was impossible for them to kneel down in public and apologize to Chi Kongyue. It would be a shame to Heavenly Realm.
“Eh?” Chi Kongyue suddenly sensed something and moved away.
At this moment, a powerful aura emerged beside Bolan and Yan Yu.
This person was a middle-aged man. He was tall and burly. He had two pairs of snow-white wings on his back and wore silver armor. He looked extraordinary.
Seeing Bolan and Yan Yu’s severe injuries, the middle-aged man frowned. He quickly took out two sacred healing pills and fed them to them.
“Your Highness, what happened?” the middle-aged man asked with concern.
Bolan struggled to sit up, he said indignantly, “I came to Central Imperial City to help Kunlun resist the invasion of Infernal Court. I wanted to have a good talk with the geniuses from all realms, but I didn’t expect Chi Kongyue to attack me like she had gone mad suddenly. She injured Fairy Yan Yu and me in a despicable way and even killed Pallas cruelly.
“Just now, Chi Kongyue even forced Fairy Yan Yu and me to kneel down. Thinking that I have to face such humiliation after risking my life killing enemies on the battlefield, I’m really disappointed. Kunlun is not worth helping.”
When Bolan made up the story, he looked very emotional, as if he were the victim telling the truth.
The middle-aged man stood up and looked at Chi Kongyue. His eyes flashed with a cold light. “Chi Kongyue, How dare you go against laws of Celestial Court and kill your allies? Do you really think that no one would dare to touch you just because you are Empress Chi Yao’s daughter?” His tone was cold.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man released an intimidating aura. He was actually a Nine-Step Saint King with profound cultivation.
Chi Kongyue endured the intimidating Saint aura from the Nine-Step Saint King. Her slender body looked as fragile as a leaf in the wind. It was as if she could be crushed at any moment. However, she did not show any signs of weakness. “You know very well what the truth is. Don’t bother to make up such dignified excuse when you deliberately want to bully the weak. Don’t you ever think that just because you are a Nine-Step Saint King, I would be afraid of you.” Her voice was loud and clear.
“You are ill-mannered. I must teach you a lesson today.” The wings on the middle-aged man’s back fluttered as he slowly flew into the air.
Before her voice trailed off, the middle-aged man stretched out a hand. A glow of Saint light emerged, and his hand grew enormous to the length of 300 meters, trying to grab Chi Kongyue.
As a Nine-Step Saint King, he did not see Chi Kongyue as a worthy opponent.
He thought that even if Zhang Ruochen and Chi Kongyue were in the same cultivation rank as him, they were not his match.
Chi Kongyue showed no fear. She moved his finger and instantly drew a complicated inscription, which landed on Jade Swallow Pendant.
Swoosh!
Jade Swallow Pendant emitted a dazzling light and signs of ancient, powerful energy. It was like a powerful ancient deity had been revived. It gave off a vast divine power that could sweep throughout heaven and earth.
A tall and mighty illusory image of a deity descended behind Chi Kongyue, stepping on the heavens, looking down at the universe.
Strange marks appeared from Jade Swallow Pendant, interweaving to form a divine defense that completely enveloped Chi Kongyue.
BANG!!!
The middle-aged man’s large hand was blocked. It could not touch Chi Kongyue.
Instead, a surge of divine force was transmitted over, sending the middle-aged man to take a few steps back.
The middle-aged man’s heart trembled. He had seen more than one deity in Heavenly Realm, but he had never encountered such a mighty divine force.
Needless to say, Jade Swallow Pendant on Chi Kongyue’s neck was definitely something special. It had an astonishing origin.
Outwardly, the middle-aged man appeared very calm. He snorted coldly.”It’s just a mere streak of divine force. Don’t you think that I can’t do anything to you? After all, it is not your power. How many times you think you can use it?” said the man.
Chi Kongyue said nothing. Instead, she secretly released her spiritual power to control the energy of Jade Swallow Pendant.
Swoosh!
With a flash of white light, Chi Kongyue’s figure disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, she appeared beside the middle-aged man with a Saint sword in her hand, charging at him as quick as lightning.
“She is fast.”The middle-aged man was slightly shocked.
Chi Kongyue’s explosive speed was not slower than any Nine-Step Saint Kings.
Furthermore, Chi Kongyue’s sword strike made the middle-aged man feel intimidated.
The reason was that Chi Kongyue had used the power of Time on her sword technique.
The Time around the Saint sword became chaotic.
The middle-aged man did not have enough time to think. Immediately, he released powerful Saint Qi to form layers of defense.
Crack!
Chi Kongyue’s Saint Sword pierced through dozens of layers of Saint light, but it was blocked in the end.
Taking this opportunity, the middle-aged man stretched out a hand and pointed at Chi Kongyue.
A dazzling bright Saint light shot out from the middle-aged man’s fingertip. It gave off a destructive aura that even the surrounding space seemed to crack.
The fingerstrike was an intermediate Saint technique. When it was executed by a Nine-Step Saint King, its power was very shocking.
At such a close distance, Chi Kongyue did not have enough time to avoid it. She could only mobilize the Precepts of Time she had cultivated to perform her most powerful Sword of Time.
Many Marks of Time appeared and got imprinted in space, causing Time within a radius of several hundred feet to become chaotic,
Creak.
The fingerstrike that the middle-aged man had launched was instantly disintegrated. Marks of Time began to revolve, enveloping the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man let out a muffled groan as his entire body fell from midair.
Dozens of wounds of varying degrees had been inflicted on his body, fresh blood flowing out from them.
More importantly, the middle-aged man felt that he had been greatly weakened. He had actually lost over two hundred years of his lifespan in an instant.
Seeing this, those who were present could not help but gasp. They were truly flabbergasted.
“Hong Kun is a Nine-Step Saint King who has reached the peak of Greater Precept World. He’s just one step away from condensing a Precept Domain. For a cultivator that powerful, how did Chi Kongyue injure him with just one strike?”
“Chi Kongyue performed the same Sword of Time like Zhang Ruochen. Is a Time technique really that terrifying?”
“Impossible. Even if it is a Path of the Ancients, it should not be as heaven-defying as this. Chi Kongyue must have used other techniques that we don’t know. Don’t forget, she is also a deity’s daughter.”
“Chi Kongyue is too terrifying. I hope she won’t vent her anger on us.”
…
All the talented young cultivators whispered. Their emotions were deeply stirred by the outcome, none of them could calm down. They looked at Chi Kongyue in awe.
As for Chi Kongyue, she was also in a daze at this moment. Never had she expected that her Sword of Time would be so powerful. It did not feel like it was from her.
