Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: 219 Kills (2/2)

Prior to the emperor’s demise, it was Miss Su Er who appeared in the Great Hall.

She directly walked over to the body of the empress. Looking at her sister’s remains, her expression was extremely complex.

Seeing her grief-stricken state, Gu Yang felt helpless. All he could say was, “Condolences.”

Miss Su Er had no reaction. She crouched down, gripping the empress’s corpse.

The empress’s body then started to dissipate and eventually transformed into a pearl, which flew into the brow of Miss Su Er in a flash.

What the hell?

This change was completely beyond Gu Yang’s expectation.

A living person, had turned into a pearl.

Next, Miss Su Er’s momentum kept escalating, and her True Essence was surging.

“This…”

Gu Yang watched as she swiftly broke through to the second level of Golden Body. A moment later, she broke through to the third level…

She advanced vigorously, and finally, innumerable vitality of Heaven and Earth began to converge towards her.

After she achieved the Mana Realm, it finally stopped.

“Chi Pearl, external incarnation!”

In the Great Hall, the experienced old minister said with a miserable smile, “So it turns out that the empress of Great Zhou was just an external incarnation of someone else. What a good strategy, playing the world at your fingers.”

Chi Pearl?

External incarnation?

Gu Yang finally understood.

So Miss Su Er was the empress, and the empress was Miss Su Er. These two people, one was the original body, the other was an incarnation.

Holy crap

What a game they played.

Just as Gu Yang was thinking, he suddenly altered his face and looked upwards.

He instantly transformed into a silhouette and appeared outside the Great Hall, seeing a large black vortex forming in the sky.

At the center of the vortex, a giant face protruded from within.

A chaotic and evil aura emanated from the vortex as it expanded, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

The Heavenly Venerable of the Red Bright Heaven!

The incredibly wicked being who wanted to turn the human realm into purgatory, the greatest adversary of all humanity.

If it arrives at the Divine City, with Dean Wen being dead, it won’t be long before humanity faces an unprecedented calamity.

Gu Yang held the Imperial Seal in his hand, crazily channeling all his True Essence into it.

In an instant, the entire palace began to respond. A golden dragon flew out from the seal, whirling around in the sky, and the array was about to be activated.

Up in the sky, the vortex momentarily halted.

That giant face, composed of black energy and non-human, looked at him.

Gu Yang boldly glared back.

On the other side, an immense sword intent was ready to be unleashed.

The giant face opened its mouth and spat out two words, “Gu Yang!”

The vicious voice echoed in the sky, as if it could stir up the most primal hatred and killing intent in people’s hearts.

The face slowly retracted.

The vortex in the sky slowly disappeared, restoring tranquility.

“That was close!”

Gu Yang wiped away some cold sweat. Just now, his True Essence was almost depleted; he was far from activating the array.

If that Heavenly Venerable had descended despite everything, he would have been unable to activate the array.

Luckily, he managed to frighten the enemy away with mere show of strength.

With this, he had truly saved the world.

Of course, more importantly, he had saved himself.

Looking at the Imperial Seal in his hand, Gu Yang wanted to take it away.

This Imperial Seal was an Abnormal Treasure. With it, he could be unrestricted in the palace.

Wonder how many units of energy it is worth?

The God-Slaying Knife was a Magic Treasure, worth twenty units of energy.

This Imperial Seal, the core of the palace array, surely had a worth significantly greater than that of the God-Slaying Knife.

Gu Yang was strongly tempted to exchange it for energy.

However, in the end, he restrained himself. It wasn’t time yet, as it was the key to confront that Heavenly Venerable.

Having obtained the mandate of the “Nine Heavens Divine Method”, he tossed the seal back into the Great Hall, saying, “You owe me a favor.”

Having said that, he turned around and left.

“Did I forget something?”

When Gu Yang was about to leave the palace, a thought flashed across his mind.

“Right, Senior Wen!”
