Chapter 482: Intriguing
In the midst of fleeing radiance, Lu Heng and the anxious white dragon girl proceeded in the northern direction.
Simultaneously, in the realm of Xuantian within the majestic celestial palace, suspended among the clouds, a massive army continuously emerged from the mist, all within the distant Youxiong Country.
The celestial soldiers were all clad in battle armor, wielding Magical Tools. Within the radiant divine glow, each and every celestial soldier displayed extraordinary might and awe-inspiring presence.
Hundreds of thousands of celestial soldiers and generals swept across the sky, their terrifying momentum nearly shattering the heavenly clouds. Even the ancient demonic evils of the highest demonic levels would surely be frightened and intimidated upon witnessing such a spectacle.
However, on the earth, a woman dressed in a crimson wedding gown contemptuously gazed at this scene, smirking as she took a sip of wine.
"Ground chicken and tile dog."
The contemptuous smirk of the woman in red was not particularly loud, but daring to speak such words in front of hundreds of thousands of celestial soldiers and generals was nothing short of regarding oneself as superior to all.
However, beside the woman in red, the silver-haired young girl with an indifferent expression seemed unaffected, showing no response to the woman's contemptuous words.
She carries a dark blue ancient sword on her back, donned in the same set of robes and dresses crafted by the Wolf God through arcane arts thousands of years ago. At first glance, she appears to be nothing more than a young sword attendant. If one were to encounter her in the wilderness, nobody would believe that she is the awe-inspiring Supreme God Lu Ai who shakes the world.
Beside this young girl, even the usually arrogant woman in red dare not reveal any flaws.
After cursing at the celestial soldiers and generals passing through the sky, she furrowed her brow and glanced at the silver-haired little girl beside her, asking, "I was cursing your group of lackeys, why do you show no reaction at all?"
Regarding this, the silver-haired little girl responded nonchalantly, "In front of the esteemed senior, they are indeed nothing but insignificant creatures not worth mentioning."
The young girl spoke concisely, while Lian Cangqing slightly opened her eyes. The two locked eyes for a few moments, and then Lian Cangqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Your shameless demeanor is just like that guy… Hahaha…"
After laughing for a while, Lian Cangqing said, "However, you are much more pleasing to the eye than him. In consideration of your pleasing appearance, I shall lend you a helping hand this time."
"I cannot kill that guy with my own hands, but killing one of his arrogant disciples would also be a satisfying experience."
"However…" Lian Cangqing said, casting a sidelong glance at the young girl, "Are you not afraid of the troubles that may arise from openly attacking a fellow disciple, knowing that the Sword Fanatic under the All Souls Ancestral Root might come after you? When you had that internal conflict in the past, that person was furious and intervened."
"Now that his cultivation has reached a higher level, it is rumored that he has even grasped the supreme and unparalleled technique of [Demon Heart Cuts the Sacred]… If you were to provoke him and engage in an internal conflict within the sect at this moment, would you be confident enough to withstand his mastery of [Demon Heart Cuts the Sacred]?"
As she spoke, Lian Cangqing's gaze lingered for a moment on the dark cyan ancient sword behind the young girl.
Under the scorching sun, the small girl with silver hair and animal ears remained calm and silent for a while.
In the end, she spoke slowly, "Hanyu Mountain, as a distinguished sect, must never produce a demon. Sun Yan, who betrayed and disgraced our lineage, I should have purged the sect and not shown mercy two thousand years ago… However, due to my momentary weakness, I committed a grave error."
"The current Sun Yan intends to open the All Souls Blood Pool, seeking to emulate the ancient great demon. If this were to happen, Hanyu Mountain's reputation would be tarnished, and I would no longer have the face to meet the Wolf God. I must remedy the mistakes I made in the past."
"As for the invincibility of Demon Heart Cuts the Sacred, under the Heavenly Thunder Sword, all beings are equal. Whether his technique of Demon Heart Cuts the Sacred can truly surpass the Heavenly Thunder Sword left by the Wolf God remains uncertain."
"I may not necessarily be defeated either."
Xiao Ai said, casting a glance at Lian Cangqing, "Moreover, with Senior Nian's presence, I believe that even if the Sword Saint's swordsmanship is sharp, it would still not be able to match the might of the Heavenly Thunder Sword and the Immortal of Martial Arts simultaneously."
With Xiao Ai's words falling, Lian Cangqing was about to speak, but in the distance, a hearty laughter suddenly resounded.
"Hahaha… Superme God Lu has forgotten one towering and mighty cultivator! That would be none other than me, Ao Tianxing!"
"Hahaha…"
Amidst the laughter, a golden light emerged from afar, swiftly traversing the vast wilderness and landing beside Xiao Ai and Lian Cangqing in an instant.
And there stood the robust and sturdy yet handsome figure of Ao Tianxing.
Upon appearing, Ao Tianxing chuckled and said, "Dominating the world, treading the celestial realm alone! How can such a grand battle between righteousness and evil be complete without the invincible Ao Tianxing? In this great war, I, Ao Tianxing, shall provide free support to the Heavenly Court! I will act as a henchman for the supreme god! As long as I can have a satisfying kill!"
Ao Tianxing suddenly appeared, Xiao Ai looked slightly surprised, while Lian Cangqing furrowed her brows and said directly, "Ao Tianxing? You disappeared for over a thousand years, and now where did you pop up from?"
In response, Ao Tianxing chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Regarding this matter, it's a long story. One thousand and five hundred years ago, I happened to pass by the South Sea and unintentionally stepped into a massive stone gate. Inside that gate, there were dazzling stars and trembling constellations, revealing a vast sea of stars."
"In the midst of the starry sea, there exists an ancient heritage. And I, Ao Tianxing, with deep blessings and complete cultivation, directly gained the recognition of the ancient heritage, inheriting its mysterious and unfathomable legacy."
"Thereafter, I have been cultivating in the starry sea, dedicating myself to enlightenment for over a thousand years, until recently when I emerged from seclusion. However, shortly after heading north, I heard news of the epic battle between righteousness and evil… Hehe… Such a grand spectacle, how can I, Ao Tianxing, be absent?"
"The passage of one thousand and five hundred years has caused most people to forget the prestigious reputation of me, Ao Tianxing. Now, it is opportune to use this battle against evil to once again establish the invincible reputation of Ao Tianxing in the world! Let the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm become acquainted with my name once more!"
Ao Tianxing had an arrogant expression on his face, full of confidence and pride.
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Ai and Lian Cangqing furrowed their brows.
The inheritance of the stone gate in the South Sea…
Xiao Ai remembered that the Wolf God had mentioned that place…
Meanwhile, Lian Cangqing…
She looked at the desperado in front of her with astonishment and asked, "You… have you inherited the legacy within?"
With a peculiar look, Lian Cangqing carefully scrutinized Ao Tianxing for a while and once again sought confirmation, "Are you certain that you have been cultivating inside for over fifteen centuries? Such a prolonged period of time?"
Lian Cangqing's face was filled with disbelief.
Ao Tianxing stared at Lian Cangqing and said, "What's the matter? Do you doubt my words? Shall we have a match and witness my new techniques? Ancient legacies are inherently profound, and understanding and inheriting them is by no means an overnight accomplishment. It is strange to you that such top-tier ancient legacies require over a thousand years of dedication…?"
Lian Cangqing's lips curled slightly, her smile mocking as she said, "Not surprising, after all, with your foolishness, it's only natural for you to spend a bit more time inside… Hahaha… It's just that I never expected the ancient being in the Eight Trigrams Pavilion to spend millions of years selecting, only to ultimately choose someone like you with a pig's brain to inherit their lineage… Hahaha… How amusing… Truly amusing… Hahaha…"
