Chapter 1688: Netherflame Serum (1/2)
The Netherflame Serum was the first shot of the Netherlord Hexagear Launcher. It instantly crossed through many realms and worlds to destroy the lair of the Ancient Ming.
It didn't matter how many worlds were in between or its defensive capabilities, even by emperors, the unstoppable shot rendered everything to ashes.
The launcher had a total of six shots with an increasing level of power. The sixth shot had enough power to slay immortals! After all, it was crafted from the best materials and leftover corpses from the Immortal slaying War back then. He even added fierce beasts, battle intents, and murderous bloodthirst into the mix.
The most precious material was still the blood and flesh of Immortal Emperor Long Ming. The ultimate essence among this mix was the Heaven's Will that was refined in the process.
Thus, the power of this G.o.dly weapon was simply unfathomable.
It was a waste this time around, using the first shot to destroy the lair. Alas, he did it so that they would have no chance of escaping.
The blood chain was a method to seal a particular set of coordinates. After the end of the Ancient Ming Era, Li Qiye had used it in order to hunt more lairs.
After their destruction, the survivors became quite meticulous and would run at the sensation of the slightest breeze. Furthermore, these lairs were actually mobile. They could fly to any coordinate in s.p.a.ce.
This was the reason why Li Qiye created this method. He directly refined their blood to seal s.p.a.ce and destroy their lair. He had taught Gu Zun in the past so Gu Zun was also aware of this process.
During the beginning of the great battle, Gu Zun had always been keeping an eye out on any fluctuation in time and s.p.a.ce above.
Soaring Immortal was only an experiment. The Ancient Ming was naturally keeping an eye out for the fight to the death between Li Qiye and the imperial queen.
This battle had a lot to do with their future. If the imperial queen were to win, this would usher in a new era for them. In case of the opposite, they would continue to hide in the darkness. Just the slightest rustling would bring about Li Qiye’s attention and swift destruction!
Because of this, they were only spectating. Alas, it didn’t matter how far they were and how well they did, there would definitely be some type of fluctuation in their location.
Of course, Gu Zun didn’t intend on killing all the Ancient Ming in the beginning while trying to find them. He was only waiting to see if they would mobilize or not.
As an eonic genius, he had some supreme talents. Though the nine worlds were large, he quickly latched on to a particular coordinate and predicted that there was an Ancient Ming lair there.
But after the queen’s defeat due to the Ancient Ming’s inaction, he understood that it was over. There was no chance for him to reverse the tide.
The nature of this utter defeat left Gu Zun with peace. He had no attachments left so he decided to lend Li Qiye a hand before dying. He refined himself into blood in order to seal the location of the Ancient Ming, allowing Li Qiye to destroy the lair with one shot.
This was Gu Zun’s one and only deed to repay the Dark Crow. They were enemies yet not, teacher-disciple but not quite so. This strange relations.h.i.+p had finally ended.
Everything had turned to ashes with the ultimate shot. A supreme genius of this era had fallen as well.
Li Qiye quietly sighed and lamented for Gu Zun’s talents and firm dao heart. Alas, the guy chose a different path. If he were to pick the orthodox dao path, he could have become an extremely brilliant emperor.
