Chapter 218: 218 War Mana
Translator: 549690339
When Gu Yang and the Dao Sect’s master Wen Jue arrived at Chengtian Palace, they didn’t alarm anyone and entered the Great Hall directly.
They arrived just in time to see the Empress slit her own throat with a jade hairpin, blood splattering across the Great Hall.
“Why did she commit suicide?”
Upon seeing this, Gu Yang was stunned.
From another perspective, he could clearly “see” that her life was rapidly fading away, and in a blink of an eye, she had turned into a corpse.
The Empress is indeed dead?
He found it hard to believe that the mysterious Empress, who always had the last laugh in all his previous simulations, had died so easily.
“No”
Zhao Yi’s head buzzed, his eyes nearly bursting out of their sockets. He reached out to stop her, but it was already too late.
All he held was a dead body.
The ministers in the Great Hall were all shocked to the extreme point, as if in a dream.
They simply couldn’t believe that the Empress, who had dominated the court for nearly a decade, had died just like that.
“Attack!”
At the same time, Wen Jue gave the signal, pulled out her sword, and charged at the Emperor.
Boom!
The instant she made her move, two terrifying auras descended onto Chengtian Palace, crashing into her.
“Come on!”
Wen Jue showed no fear. Above her head, a Tai Chi pattern appeared, repelling the palace’s force field and restoring her full mana. Her Unleaking Realm cultivation level burst out without any reservation.
The numerous ministers on the scene were nearly hit by the overwhelming pressure, with those at lower cultivation levels fainting instantly.
“Un…leaking…realm!”
A few ministers with higher cultivation levels were utterly horrified in their hearts.
For the first time in five hundred years, a powerful being of the Unleaking Realm had invaded the palace.
Could it be that the events from twenty years ago were about to repeat themselves?
Just then, two rays of light, one red and one blue, enveloped them.
With a flash of light, the terrifying powerhouse disappeared, already been teleported away.
“It was those two who made the move.”
The few elderly ministers who were still conscious, along with the three princes, felt the pressure lighten and a sense of relief as if they had escaped death.
Thank goodness, the two guardians of the palace had taken action. Otherwise, there would have been no survivors in the Great Hall today.
Yet, the crisis was far from over. The assassin was not alone.
“Gu Yang?”
The fifth prince was the first to recognise the identity of the other assassin and uttered in shock.
Hearing this name, the others present felt like they were plunging into an abyss.
Gu Yang, with his Golden Body at the third level, could easily kill them with his physical strength alone, even if his True Essence was suppressed.
Just then, a figure stood in front of the Emperor, holding a knife in his hand and a blade of grass between his teeth.
He extended his mana, firmly pinning Gu Yang in place.
“It’s Uncle!”
The fifth prince recognised the man and was simultaneously surprised and delighted, his heart filled with intense excitement.
His ally had finally arrived.
With the support of his uncle at the Mana Realm, he now had a strong and powerful supporter.
The man who arrived was indeed Pan Chen. He had been at Chengtian Palace for some time, watching everything unfold but had not revealed himself until now.
Only when the Emperor was in danger did he suddenly take action and restrained the assassin.
Pan Chen eyed the man not far away and said, “So you’re Gu Yang? I have heard of you. You’re indeed a once-in-a-millennium exceptional genius. The strength of your body even surpasses mine.”
“If we were outside, I’m not sure I could kill you. Unfortunately, you came to the palace to find death.”
“Is there anything you regret not accomplishing?”
Gu Yang felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, rendering his struggles futile.
He stared at the man opposite him and said, “So this is what you look like.”
In the simulations, every time he attempted to assassinate the Emperor, he was stopped by a powerful Mana Realm cultivator and was ultimately unsuccessful.
Now, he finally saw what this Mana Realm powerhouse looked like.
He wasn’t an eunuch after all.
So this is what you look like?
Upon hearing these words, Pan Chen was somewhat baffled and the next moment, his expression slightly changed.
Boom!
Gu Yang’s figure began to swell, and the mana cage Pan Chen had set up was suddenly broken.
How is this possible?
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yang had turned into a massive yellow ape standing one zhang tall, his eyes filled with brutality.
The fourth level of the Divine Ape Technique!
The moment he transformed into the giant ape, the jade seal next to the dragon throne vibrated fiercely, emitting a golden glow.
Immediately, Gu Yang felt the ubiquitous suppression on him disappear, and the True Essence that had been suppressed returned to his body.
He raised his hand and slapped it towards Pan Chen.
“It’s the ‘Nine Heavens Divine Method’!”
An old minister cried out in surprise.
This renowned peerless divine technique, which had been lost for a thousand years, had reappeared in the world today.
A few others sensed Gu Yang’s violent power and felt an eerie fear deep in their hearts.
It was as if they faced a primal fear, like a human facing a natural predator.
The three princes retreated continuously, until they reached the side of their father, the Emperor.
The moment the giant ape moved, Pan Chen’s expression changed once again, and finally, he drew his sword.
That was horrifying power, capable of dispersing his mana with physical strength alone.
A Great Ape that Pierces the Heavens!
