Chapter 427: 427 Innate Spiritual Treasures
Gu Yang’s question seemed a tad abrupt, as if this unknown old man had deliberately lured them here.
Indeed, this was his speculation, or perhaps a probe.
Since this man could sense the revival of the Way of Heaven, it would be quite normal for him to sense their arrival in heaven as well.
He had said, “You have finally arrived,” indicating that he really had been waiting for them.
There was a possibility that this man intentionally caused a disturbance to compel the Wheel of Creation to issue an order, summoning people to suppress him.
The task that Gu Yang received was “suppression,” not annihilation. He had found it odd at the time, but now it seemed it was because they could not possibly annihilate him.
He was very likely a former Da Luo Golden Immortal.
An emaciated camel is still larger than a horse. Even a supreme treasure might not be able to kill a Da Luo Immortal.
At that moment, the Demon-subduing Pestle in Gu Yang’s hand began to vibrate violently, about to break free from his grip.
A powerful thought was transmitted: “You dare to defy orders! You’re courting death.”
The Demon-subduing Pestle could tolerate no further and was about to retaliate.
“Rebellion?”
Gu Yang sneered and took out the Sword of the Human Emperor from his Beast-taming Space.
Knowing that the Sword of the Human Emperor was incompatible with Heaven, he had never taken the sword out before.
Now, with the Demon-subduing Pestle about to rebel, he needed to use the Sword of the Human Emperor to deal with such an extraordinary treasure.
“The Sword of the Human Emperor?”
The old man, who looked like a mummy, was the first to recognize it, showing shock in his tone for the first time.
…
“What, the Sword of the Human Emperor?”
Old Daoist Yu Ming was also greatly shocked when he heard this.
From ancient times, this sword had been the most famous treasure of the human race. Its power was not the greatest, but its renown was undoubtedly the highest.
You couldn’t mention the rise of the Human Race without mentioning the Sword of the Human Emperor.
Even cultivators of the Three Realms knew about the prestigious Sword of the Human Emperor.
Just as the Book of the Dead is a symbol of the Netherworld, the Sword of the Human Emperor is the iconic treasure of the Human Realm.
However, wasn’t the Sword of the Human Emperor destroyed in the first catastrophic calamity?
According to the records left by the founder, during the calamity, the strongest figure of the Human Realm who wielded the Sword of the Human Emperor was the first to perish. The Sword of the Human Emperor was also destroyed on the spot.
Could it be a counterfeit?
No, this aura was unmistakably the Sword of the Human Emperor.
The Old Daoist Yu Ming finally realized what gave Gu Yang his confidence. It was the Sword of the Human Emperor, a supreme treasure from the ancient times.
At the very least, two Golden Immortals of the Monster Race had been slain by this sword.
…
Zhanxuan Sword Technique’s second form, Godslayer!
This time, when he took out the Sword of the Human Emperor, it was completely different than before. The blade emitted a dazzling light that swept away the surrounding darkness and oppressive atmosphere.
Wherever it reached, it was overpowering and pure, symbolizing a burgeoning vitality.
Gu Yang felt an unprecedented surge of power, amplifying his Immortal Element by hundreds of times. This was the most powerful strike he had ever released in his life.
The Demon-subduing Pestle, sensing danger, also erupted with golden radiance, symbolizing extremity and rigidity. However, in front of the Sword of the Human Emperor, it paled in comparison.
The Sword of the Human Emperor struck through the air, an invisible force instantly slicing through the Demon-subduing Pestle’s radiance.
The Demon-subduing Pestle then quieted down and its radiance turned softer.
Its Primordial Spirit had been annihilated by a single strike.
Then, Gu Yang turned his gaze towards the spiritual treasures held by Old Daoist Yu Ming and Yun Hua.
Both were deeply shocked by the power of that one sword.
Especially Old Daoist Yu Ming, who could hardly believe that such tremendous power could be unleashed after the collapse of the Way of Heaven.
Was this the power of an Earth Immortal?
Just one sword was enough to destroy the Primordial Spirit of a Celestial Grade spiritual treasure.
It was truly terrifying.
Thus, when Gu Yang’s gaze turned towards him, he let out a tremble and instinctively handed the bead in his hand over, stuttering, “El…Elder, I think you should keep this.”
Yun Hua also quickly handed over the bow and arrow from his hand to Gu Yang.
After accepting the two items, Gu Yang felt the Primordial Spirits within trembling, and communicated with them, “If you don’t want to be destroyed, let me leave my imprint on your cores.”
Just like that, he gained two more Earth Grade Spirit Treasures.
