Chapter 891: Chapter 528: Half-step Immortal Artifact
As for dignity, it isn’t that important in the face of life and death.
All other so-called immortal opportunities have also been completely cast aside.
Everything.
Begins with survival as a premise.
Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, "Answer my question honestly, and there might be a chance for survival. But if you conceal anything, you will fall here today!"
"If Immortal Emperor has any words, please speak freely, I will definitely not hold back anything!"
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch wore a smile of obsequiousness on his face.
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "Let me ask you, how is the current strength of the Chaos Holy Land, and how many Nine Tribulation Heavenly Sovereigns are stationed there?"
Upon hearing the words.
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch shook his head, "Currently, there are no Nine Tribulation Heavenly Sovereigns in the Chaos Holy Land; however, within the Holy Land, there remain some hidden experts. The peak strength is around the Eight Tribulations, still short of stepping into the Nine Tribulations."
Furthermore, the strongest in the Holy Land is the Saint Master, who has already reached the level of Half-step Nine Tribulations. This time, they are in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nine Tribulations Realm.
Without any surprises, there should be no chance of failure in the Saint Master’s breakthrough this time!"
"Why?"
"Simply because the Chaos Holy Land once had an Immortal appear, and although that Immortal has fallen, some foundational strength was left behind.
With this Immortal foundation, it should be enough to allow the Saint Master to pass through the Nine Layer Divine Tribulations."
Saying this, Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch paused again, looking at Gu Qingfeng with a flattering expression.
"Yet, even if the Saint Master breaks through the Nine Tribulations, it will not necessarily be able to match the Immortal Emperor!"
Gu Qingfeng did not respond to this last statement.
He is always kept an eye on Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch’s expression changes and subtle fluctuations in his aura to judge if the other party is intentionally hiding something.
But what the other party said was not much different from what Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty had learned.
This result.
Is naturally good news for Gu Qingfeng.
After all, without the existence of Nine Tribulation Heavenly Sovereigns, the threat of Chaos Holy Land is substantially reduced.
The only problem.
Is probably the so-called Immortal foundation.
"Let me ask you, what is the Immortal foundation of Chaos Holy Land?"
"A Half-step Immortal Artifact!"
"Half-step Immortal Artifact?"
Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch nodded, "In the past, that Immortal held an Immortal Artifact, but with the outbreak of war, not only did the Immortal fall, but even the Immortal Artifact in his hand was damaged, causing it to drop below its grade.
Yet, even so, that Half-step Immortal Artifact is extremely powerful and is the strongest foundation of Chaos Holy Land.
It’s precisely because of this Half-step Immortal Artifact’s presence that Chaos Holy Land has remained unshaken for many years.
Even those forces with Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerates stationed, coveting the Immortal heritage of Chaos Holy Land, dare not act rashly under the deterrence of the Half-step Immortal Artifact."
Half-step Immortal Artifact!
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng’s expression became slightly solemn.
What is a Half-step Immortal Artifact!
He is naturally acquainted.
It surpasses the Ninth-grade Creation Spiritual Treasure, merely a step away from reaching the Immortal level of Supreme Treasure, only then can it be called Half-step Immortal.
Though Gu Qingfeng has not truly seen the power of such a Supreme Treasure, he can comprehend its inevitable strength.
Just like his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which has just been promoted to Seventh-grade Creation Spiritual Treasure, contains terrifying power.
A typical Six Tribulation Venerable could hold it and contend with a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate.
However.
If lacking cultivation.
To face a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate solely relying on a Seventh-grade Creation Spiritual Treasure unto mutual destruction would be impossible.
Contend, indeed!
Defeat, however, is certain for the Six Tribulation Venerable.
Regardless.
There is a vast chasm between Six Tribulations and Seven Tribulations.
Before a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate, an ordinary Six Tribulation Venerable differs little from ants.
The latter can contend with such a powerhouse by solely wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, showing the tremendous strength of the Supreme Treasure.
Similarly.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is already this powerful.
Thus a Half-step Immortal Artifact will only be more fearsome.
With the presence of such a Supreme Treasure, Chaos Holy Land is akin to having a powerhouse stationed that’s one step away from reaching the Immortal level.
Even though the Chaos Holy Master has not ascended to the Nine Tribulations and cannot fully wield the Half-step Immortal Artifact’s power, one must never underestimate them.
Likewise.
If the Chaos Holy Master truly breaks through to the Nine Tribulation level, they would undoubtedly harness the full power of that Supreme Treasure.
This, naturally.
Would be a greater trouble.
Thinking this through.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression slightly changed but soon settled back into calm.
He looked at Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch.
"How long for the Chaos Holy Master to break through?"
"I don’t know, but such a realm’s breakthrough certainly requires a long time, at least hundreds of thousands to millions of years!"
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch shook his head.
As for when the Chaos Holy Master will breakthrough, he genuinely does not know, only faintly guesses.
However.
As he stated.
Breaking through the Nine Tribulation Realm is not an easy talk.
Under such circumstances, millions of years might even be minimal.
Gu Qingfeng slightly nodded, "Then I understand."
"Now, Immortal Emperor......"
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch showed a smile on his face as he was about to speak when Gu Qingfeng suddenly struck, delivering a punch that completely shattered his mortal body.
With the body’s rupture, a Divine Soul appeared within the void.
In the next breath.
Gu Qingfeng had already punched again, completely annihilating that Divine Soul.
"Unfortunately, your answer can’t satisfy me!"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, his expression remaining indifferent.
From the moment Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch and others made a move, they were destined not to be left.
This Eight Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate, if allowed to live and return, would equate to letting a tiger free into the mountains.
As for recruiting them, it is an impossible matter.
At a critical moment.
If Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch were to defect.
It would undoubtedly be a severe blow to Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
After all.
A single Eight Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate, aside from Gu Qingfeng, no one else within Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty could match.
Therefore.
Not to mention whether Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch would willingly submit, even if they do, Gu Qingfeng could not trust them.
Thus.
Dao Xuan Heavenly Monarch’s outcome was predetermined.
Before his death, Gu Qingfeng wanted to learn about Chaos Holy Land’s situation from him.
Overall.
It was a bad news, and good news.
Bad news naturally is the existence of the Half-step Immortal Artifact, and the good news is that, as of now, Chaos Holy Land has not seen the rise of a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate.
Thinking thusly.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel.
Only to see that the Yellow Springs Path has now advanced to the Seventh Layer, and in terms of cultivation, it has become Seven Tribulation Venerable Realm.
In terms of comprehensive strength.
Gu Qingfeng is now about comparable to the Initial Tier of Eight Tribulation experts.
But if he uses the power of the Nine Layer Heavens Veins, then even against a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Sovereign, it might be possible to have a chance at battle.
At the very least.
Considering the situation with the Three Great Heavenly Venerables, ordinary Eight Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerates were akin to ants before him.
Therefore.
In this aspect.
Gu Qingfeng understands his own strength somewhat.
"However, even possessing strength at the level of a Nine Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerate, it’s not easy to contend against Chaos Holy Land.
That Half-step Immortal Artifact is not at all ordinary!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with solemnity.
To deal with Chaos Holy Land, relying solely on the power of Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty is insufficient; it is necessary to leverage external forces.
He believes.
Chaos Holy Land, having existed for so many years, must have countless enemies.
The most straightforward method right now is to unite the strengths of various forces against Chaos Holy Land.
Thus.
Even if Chaos Holy Land has a Half-step Immortal Artifact, it may not be able to withstand.
However——
Before that happens.
The situation of Chaos Holy Land needs to be thoroughly investigated.
With a thought.
Gu Qingfeng’s Divine Thought swept through the void and quickly found the location of Mystic Sky Immortal Domain, then he took a step forward and vanished.
Moments after he left, other strong spectators, who were secretly observing, only dared to gradually appear.
They felt the lingering pressure in the void, faces filled with astonishment.
