Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1517 - 781: This Lunatic (2)

Nangong Tiance shouted a reminder and simultaneously summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror to protect his divine sense.

However, oddly enough, as the soul storm swept over the many Black Armored Warriors, they remained unharmed, still maintaining the array’s operation.

Only Nangong Tiance was hit like a lightning strike, his body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft..."

The blood stained his Purple Gold Python Robe, and Nangong Tiance was horrified to find his cultivation of centuries rapidly vanishing.

The abundant spiritual power of the Earth King Realm was gushing out from his body like a breached dam.

"You... what have you done to me?!"

Nangong Tiance’s voice trembled as he helplessly watched his cultivation drop below the Human King Realm, still falling.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold.

"It’s merely reclaiming what was given to you back then. That Daoist Rhythm was mine to plant, and now I’m taking it back. Why not?"

Nangong Tiance’s face turned ashen, and he finally understood the terror of Gu Sheng... The opponent had set a trap as early as his breakthrough, and the Daoist Rhythm was both a gift and a shackle!

"No... impossible!"

Nangong Tiance roared hysterically.

"I clearly refined that Daoist Rhythm!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"You thought you did? That was just an illusion I let you perceive. Nangong Tiance, I gave you a choice back then, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong side."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the True Yuan within Nangong Tiance became chaotic, and his once-vast aura immediately withered.

He widened his eyes, incredulous, feeling his cultivation plummet rapidly... Human King Realm Ninth Layer Peak, Ninth Layer Middle Stage, Eighth Level Peak...

"This is impossible!"

Nangong Tiance abruptly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"My cultivation..."

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe flapping in the wind, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Nangong, it seems you’ve finally realized."

"It’s you!"

Nangong Tiance’s fingers clawed, True Yuan gathering in his palm and then dispersing.

"When you helped me break through back then, you tampered with the Daoist Rhythm!"

Gu Sheng chuckled softly, yet the laughter caused the surrounding temperature to plummet.

"Clever. But it’s late by three years."

Nangong Tiance’s face turned steel blue, and the True Yuan within him went out of control like a wild horse.

He suppressed his anger and fear, speaking coldly.

"Gu Sheng, what exactly do you want?"

"Simple."

Gu Sheng extended three fingers.

"First, send me to Great Wilderness City immediately; second, don’t play any tricks on the way; third..."

His eyes gleamed coldly.

"When we reach Great Wilderness City, I will resolve the hidden danger within you."

"Dream on!"

Nangong Tiance laughed angrily.

"You think you can threaten me with such tricks? At worst, we’ll perish together!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly chanted a spell, and nine golden runes appeared around him.

However, as soon as the runes formed, they trembled violently, then shattered with a ’pop’.

Gu Sheng shook his head and sighed.

"Nangong, don’t you understand yet?"

He stepped forward slowly, with each step making Nangong Tiance feel his True Yuan being drained bit by bit.

"With a single thought from me, your centuries of cultivation will..."

He made a gesture like a firework bursting.

"Boom!"

Nangong Tiance’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, yet he still stood straight.

"Gu Sheng, I, Nangong Tiance, have roamed the Southern Domain for a century, never threatened! Even if my cultivation is completely ruined today, I’ll drag you down with me!"

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"And what about Miao Muqing?"

Nangong Tiance’s pupils shrank suddenly.

"If you dare to harm a hair on her head..."

"Don’t rush."

Gu Sheng leisurely tidied his sleeves.

"I haven’t finished. Besides Miao Muqing, guess what I’ve left on that little princess of the Southern Emperor Lineage?"

These words exploded like thunder.

Nangong Tiance’s body trembled.

"You... you dared to lay a hand on Yuwei?! She’s only seven!"

Gu Sheng’s smile gradually turned cold.

"Three years ago, when you attacked while I was in seclusion, did you ever think of today?"

He suddenly shouted fiercely.

"Kneel!"

With a ’crack’, Nangong Tiance’s knees bent uncontrollably, slamming heavily onto the ground.

He was horrified to discover that he was utterly unable to resist the will contained in the Daoist Rhythm.

The surrounding martial artists drew their swords in response but dared not to advance.

The air was suffused with a suffocating pressure.

"Consider carefully."

Gu Sheng looked down at the kneeling Nangong Tiance.

"If I die here today, the last bloodline of the Southern Emperor Lineage will be..."

He made a neck-slashing gesture.

"And you will become the eternal sinner of the Southern Domain."

Nangong Tiance grinded his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

For a long time, he dropped his head despondently.

"...I’ll take you to the Transmission Array."

Outside Sun City, a golden tunneling light pierced through the sky.

"Faster."

Gu Sheng stood at the forefront of the tunneling light, his voice indifferent.

"Your cultivation... might not hold until Great Wilderness City."

Nangong Tiance’s lips dripped with blood, the tunneling light visibly unstable.

"Gu Sheng... how much Daoist Rhythms did you leave in my body?"

"Not much."

Gu Sheng chuckled lightly.

"Just enough to cripple a Human King."

Nangong Tiance felt chills down his spine.

The modest and courteous Gu Sheng from three years ago was a world apart from the demon before him who controlled his life with a laugh.

The outline of Sun City drew near, alarms blared from the city walls.

Dozens of shadows soared, with the leading elder shouting sternly.

"Who dares intrude Sun City!"

"It’s me!"

Nangong Tiance forcefully gathered True Yuan, displaying the Southern Emperor Order.

"Immediately open the Transmission Array to Great Wilderness City!"

The elder changed complexion upon recognizing him.

"Lord Nangong? You are..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Nangong Tiance’s aura was chaotic.

"If you delay the matter, you cannot bear the consequences!"

The Transmission Array was located at the city’s central altar, wholly crafted from Mystic Jade, currently emitting a faint blue light.

Nangong Tiance stumbled a few steps upon landing, his face as white as paper... his cultivation had already fallen to the Human King Sixth Realm.

"Hurry up!"

He shouted angrily at the Array Master.

"Highest-spec Transmission, immediately!"

Gu Sheng stood leisurely at the array’s hub and suddenly spoke.

"Nangong, did you seem to forget something?"

Nangong Tiance’s body stiffened.

"...you promised to lift the Daoist Rhythms."

"I said..."

A teasing gleam flashed through Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"You haven’t asked about Miao Muqing yet."

Nangong Tiance abruptly raised his head.

"What did you do to her?!"

"Don’t worry."

Gu Sheng stepped into the Transmission Array, the white light beginning to envelop his figure.

"Actually, I never laid a finger on her."

"What?!"

Nangong Tiance was thunderstruck.

"Then earlier you..."

"Strategic deception is always justified."

Gu Sheng’s voice became faint as the teleportation light enveloped him.

"By the way, the uncontrollable Daoist Rhythms have ten breaths remaining."

Nangong Tiance’s blood instantly froze.

He frantically pushed True Yuan to try to stop the teleportation, but saw Gu Sheng gesturing a farewell.

"Boom..."

At the moment teleportation completed, a dazzling golden light exploded within Nangong Tiance.

He fearfully realized his body began to lose control, an energy sufficient to destroy the entire city was frantically converging at his Dantian.

"Boom..."

A sky-shattering blast tore apart the night sky of the East Desolation, Nangong Tiance’s body transformed into a brilliant white light in the sky, illuminating Sun City like a second sun.

Violent energy ripples spread outwards from him, in all directions.

"Damn!"

Tang Muzhi’s expression drastically changed, unleashing his King Realm cultivation, leaving a residual shadow in mid-air and fleeing madly into the distance.

As the energy ripples passed, space twisted and contorted, Sun City’s towering walls collapsed like paper, buildings inside fell into dust.

Even though Tang Muzhi had escaped thousands of miles away, the terrifying aftermath still caught up with him.

"Puh..."

Tang Muzhi, having set up seven Spirit Barriers, saw them shatter the instant the energy ripples touched.

He spat blood, his luxurious King Robe torn to reveal dozens of deep bone-seeing wounds.

"Nangong Tiance is a lunatic!"

Tang Muzhi gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of horror.

"A dignified Earth King Realm expert, chose self-detonation!"

He glanced back to see the once-prosperous Sun City had become a wasteland, city walls collapsed, earth cracked, countless Martial Artists swallowed by energy before even having time to scream.

Even though Nangong Tiance self-destructed at thousands of feet high, the aftermath still caused such terrifying destruction.
