Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 458: A True Lord Falls, The World is Shocked! (Ancestral Ritual Arc Essentially Concluded)
It was as if time itself had been suspended.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They hadn't expected that in such intense combat, this powerhouse known as Shura would still have such a preparation! So swift, so fierce!
Not only did the Royal Clan True Lord not react, but even Bodhisattva Puxian beside him didn't react.
Chen Yuan's consciousness also paused for a moment. Even though he was watching the battle up close, he hadn't noticed that Moro had such a trick up his sleeve. A classic exclamation flashed through his mind.
'Damn it!'
A gentle breeze continued to blow, stirring the flags in the Imperial City, and also stirring the gray hair of the Royal Clan True Lord. It felt like a lifetime had passed, yet also just an instant.
He seemed to react, the corner of his eye twitching slightly. A terrifying sense of powerlessness instantly enveloped his body, and a deep, dark magic light erupted.
Starting from his head, the Royal Clan True Lord's flesh was vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"It's over!"
In that instant, only this thought flashed through the Royal Clan True Lord's mind.
He realized his death.
This time it was truly over, and not just a simple destruction of the physical body.
The magic patterns imprisoned the Royal Clan True Lord's Nascent Soul, and the magic nail pierced through his Nascent Soul as well. With the Nascent Soul destroyed, the physical body would naturally cease to exist.
In just a short moment, under the gaze of everyone, the Royal Clan True Lord rapidly vanished, the aura around him plummeting, and there was no sign of it stopping.
Finally, he died.
He completely disappeared from before everyone's eyes, not even leaving a trace of his remains.
After a brief silence, the first to speak was Jingtai. He said in a deep voice:
"Fourth Ancestor!!!"
That Royal Clan Ancestor was also one of his ancestors. He was once one of the most talented people in the Sima family besides the Sacred Ancestor, and he had even broken through to the Yang God realm with the help of the Royal Clan's vast resources.
Becoming one of the few True Lord powerhouses in the Jianghu!
And such a powerhouse was also the foundation of the Sima family. Even losing one would be a great loss!
Jingtai hadn't been moved when several Huayang True Men had fallen before, he hadn't been moved when the Shenwu True Lord was restrained, and he had maintained basic composure when Bodhisattva Puxian's Dharma Idol was crippled.
But at this moment, seeing the fall of the Royal Clan's Fourth Ancestor, he lost his composure for the first time. It was even a rare moment of losing composure since he ascended the throne. A huge anger instantly filled Jingtai's heart.
He wanted to kill this Shura Lord, he wanted to kill these so-called Lords, he wanted to completely destroy the Daoshen Palace!
But behind the great anger was Jingtai's palpitation, and a hint of elusive fear. This Shura Lord could kill the Royal Clan True Lord, could he possibly...
Kill him too?
Could Bodhisattva Puxian and Gu Tianqiong destroy this person?
A strange thought flashed through Jingtai's mind.
Princess Pingyang bit her lip, her brow furrowed, staring at the figure standing in the void, a trace of horror flashing in her eyes.
The Fourth Prince, Sima Ke, felt a sense of powerlessness and couldn't help but take a few steps back subconsciously.
Those who were shocked and horrified by the death of the Royal Clan True Lord were not only the people of the Royal Clan, but also the court officials, the Jianghu martial artists who were paying attention to the battle,
and the Lords of the Daoshen Palace.
Huge waves surged in their hearts, and they were very uneasy.
This was a True Lord!!!
Yang God True Lord!
In today's world, they were already close to reaching the pinnacle of existence. Each of them had a lifespan of hundreds of years, and each of them could shatter mountains and overturn seas.
Each of them was a famous figure in the world.
Each of them... could create a top-tier force and become a patriarch, revered by tens of thousands of people.
Counting back from now, no True Lord had fallen for decades.
Everyone seemed to see the shocking scene that would unfold in the world!
Su Ziyue opened her mouth:
"Senior Moro is so terrifying!"
Li Suqing: "This concubine really didn't expect that Senior Moro would actually kill a Royal Clan True Lord. It's really... unbelievable."
In their expectations, it would be enough to kill a few court True Men. They hadn't anticipated that a True Lord would fall, after all, there was more than just one court True Lord here.
There were several of them working together.
Chu Changfeng had an excited expression:
"Is this Senior Moro's true strength?"
"A one-hit kill, the Nascent Soul extinguished."
Yang Huatian's eyes were filled with envy, it was simply too strong!
"So... so strong!"
The Crimson Purgatory Demon Lord froze in place.
Obviously, Moro's move was unexpected by everyone. They only slowly reacted after his death.
"This Daoshen Palace is not simple..."
Compared to the Crimson Purgatory Demon Lord, Song Zhilun thought more.
He was even guessing who was behind the mask?
And the true identities of these Daoshen Palace Lords.
Of course, the death of a Royal Clan True Lord was definitely a good thing for the Heavenly Demon Palace. The more the Royal Clan's strength was weakened, the more turbulent the world would become.
The court would also gradually become unstable.
Inside the capital city, Qingyun Temple.
The old temple master, who had been holding a feather fan and watching the situation with a smile, also paused for a moment, staring at the figure in the void with a solemn gaze, even holding his breath.
He was wondering, if that strike had landed on him, could he have dodged it in that short moment?
Or rather, if he had endured that strike, could he have survived?
But regrettably, he thought and thought again, and always felt that the hope was not very high.
That strike was too mysterious, too bizarre.
Daoshen Palace, Shura Lord...
This battle record alone could definitely land him in the top five of the Supreme Ranking without a doubt!
He had originally thought about whether to try to win over Chen Yuan and have him join the Taixu Palace as a true disciple, but now he thought... he should forget it. It would be unwise to incur enmity with this mysterious Daoshen Palace because of it.
Destiny was not on his side...
If he had met Chen Yuan a little earlier, that would have been great.
Outside the capital city, in the void.
The illusory chessboard formed by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi instantly shattered, indicating the shock in Dongfang Sheng's heart at this moment. His gaze towards the Imperial City had become extremely solemn.
Honestly, with his strength, he could definitely defeat or even kill this Royal Clan True Lord, but to be able to arrange a backup plan so easily while being restrained by a Bodhisattva...
It was difficult!
Very difficult!
He really wanted to have an open and aboveboard fight with such an existence!
At this moment, a fighting spirit was rising in Dongfang Sheng's heart.
Li Kuangxiu, who was beside him, was no longer in the mood to play chess. His gaze was unprecedentedly solemn as he stared at that figure.
Inside the physical body, Chen Yuan immediately asked after the shock:
"Senior Moro, what... what kind of method is this?"
"What kind of method is this, Benefactor?"
Bodhisattva Puxian also asked in a deep voice at the same time.
"You want to learn it, I'll teach you." Moro said to Chen Yuan.
"Okay!"
Such a method was definitely a life-saving trick. After witnessing it, Chen Yuan naturally developed the desire to cultivate it.
"Come find me when you break through to the Yang God True Lord realm in the future."
Chen Yuan: "???"
If he had the cultivation of a Yang God True Lord, would he still need to learn it?
With his methods, it didn't seem like it would be so difficult to kill a True Lord by then, right?
Moro smiled and said nothing more.
The strike just now was not a method of the Yang God True Lord realm, but a method of the Sixth Realm. Otherwise, how could he have instantly killed a Yang God True Lord? Even if this True Lord was not a top-tier one.
But as long as one could become a True Lord, they wouldn't be so easy to deal with. The Yang God could abandon their physical body at any time, and they could also unleash great power.
And he had been arranging it before the fight in order to make a quick decision.
Fortunately, the result was not unexpected, and his method worked.
His Nascent Soul was already in a severely injured state, and Chen Yuan's physical body could only barely bear it. In addition, he had swallowed a Nascent Soul before, which was even more overloaded.
He had to make a quick decision.
Once it was delayed, the backlash from the serious injury or the collapse of Chen Yuan's physical body were things he didn't want to see.
And facing Bodhisattva Puxian, Moro's answer was:
"Why don't you try it yourself and find out?"
Bodhisattva Puxian: "....."
"Imperial Preceptor, Grand Commandant, you must not let this person escape. Kill him, I want to tear him into pieces!!!" Jingtai directly shouted sternly below.
With a roar, the Imperial City Formation was shaking. Under the protection of the national fortune, people below True Lord realm cannot harm Jingtai.
'Chen Yuan' stared at Jingtai and said indifferently:
"Coincidentally, this seat also wants to tear you into pieces!"
He had been suppressed under the dragon vein for more than two hundred years, nearly dying from the constant oppression of the national fortune. If it hadn't been for Chen Yuan and the Lords of the Daoshen Palace risking their lives to save him,
his Nascent Soul would have been completely destroyed in no more than three years.
There was the hatred of the Spirit Mountain in this, as well as the hatred of this Great Jin Dynasty!
Before the Spirit Mountain was destroyed, the first thing he had to do was completely overturn this court!
"Can Senior really kill Jingtai?"
Hearing this sentence, Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Mainly because it was too tempting!
Chen Yuan really wanted to kill this emperor and seize his destiny because of Jingtai's terrifying national fortune, plus the first reaction of the Destiny Altar.
Unfortunately, his strength was too weak, and he had to endure it.
Now, if there was an opportunity, he really didn't want to miss it.
No matter what, this physical body was his. Even if it was controlled by Moro, he would probably be able to obtain great benefits. This was something he couldn't refuse.
He really wanted to know what the destiny guidance would be after killing Jingtai?
Could it make his cultivation skyrocket?
"Can't kill him."
Moro transmitted his voice.
"Uh..."
Chen Yuan was directly speechless by this sentence.
You can't kill him, but you say that?
"This seat's Nascent Soul is about to collapse, your physical body is also about to collapse, and... if we really attack Jingtai, I'm afraid all of us here today will have to be buried in the Imperial City."
After saying this to Chen Yuan, Moro's gaze shifted to a certain place in the Imperial City.
Under the surge of national fortune, I'm afraid... the Sixth Realm Immortal of the Sima family is about to awaken completely.
The timing was not right yet.
In his current half-crippled state, it was not a big problem to deal with a few True Lords in a short period of time with some secret methods, but if he were to deal with a complete Sixth Realm Immortal, he would not be able to do it.
The Spirit Mountain had not been destroyed yet, and he couldn't die!
Hearing what Senior Moro said, Chen Yuan also immediately remembered what he had said when he was possessed before, that it would only last for a moment, and then it would be over.
A moment of time was very broad, it could be a quarter of an hour, or it could be two quarters of an hour. He had been shocked by the strength that Moro had shown, and for a moment, he had forgotten this restriction.
Now that it was mentioned, he immediately understood.
Today was indeed enough. Killing several True Men and a Yang God True Lord could definitely be considered a heavy blow to the court.
"Then how do we leave?"
Chen Yuan asked again.
"Leaving is not difficult, just beat them until they don't dare to stop us." Moro grinned.
Chen Yuan: "....."
He had a curse word in his heart that he didn't know if he should say.
First he said he couldn't hold on, then he said beat them until they didn't dare to stop them, this...
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
In the moment Chen Yuan and Moro were communicating, the Grand Commandant of the Sky Patrol Department cupped his fists and accepted the decree. He turned his gaze to 'Chen Yuan' and said, "Your Excellency's strength is indeed very strong, but it ends here."
"Gu's first battle after leaving seclusion will be announced with the defeat of a powerhouse like Your Excellency." Gu Tianqiong said with a solemn expression, he was not underestimating him.
In fact, after witnessing his methods just now, the vigilance in his heart had been raised to the highest level, constantly vigilant about the subtle changes around him.
He would never allow the situation where the Royal Clan True Lord was killed with a mysterious one-hit kill to occur.
At the same time, a surging fighting spirit rose in his heart.
He was a warlike person, and it was definitely his honor to have such an opponent.
'Chen Yuan' laughed maniacally in a neurotic manner:
"Many people have said that, including that trash just now, but their endings were very miserable. Sky Patrol Grand Commandant Gu Tianqiong, is it? You are no exception."
"Then... please enlighten me!"
Gu Tianqiong's expression turned serious, and his vast aura instantly erupted, soaring straight into the sky. The powerful energy even tore a hole in the dark clouds stirred up by Moro.
This was the strength of the sixth ranked on the Supreme Ranking!
Gu Tianqiong's body was surrounded by thirty-six Sea Stabilizing Pearls, exuding powerful energy. When the Royal Clan True Lord fell just now, he had reacted and summoned this strange treasure into his hands.
The spirituality within seemed to know that he was not an enemy and did not reject him.
At the same time, he slowly raised his right hand, and a long saber with a style similar to a Goose Wing Saber but different from a Goose Wing Saber appeared in his hand, exuding a powerful aura and sharpness.
Divine Weapon, Heaven's Cry!
His saber, Gu Tianqiong's saber, had accompanied him all the way from weakness to the present, and it had long since given birth to spirituality. The Sky Patrol Department's standard Goose Wing Saber was forged based on the appearance of this 'Heaven's Cry'.
At the moment Gu Tianqiong drew his saber, a terrifying phantom appeared behind him. Although it was impossible to see clearly, as long as one looked at it, one could see that this phantom was him.
In order to deal with this powerhouse who had killed the Royal Clan True Lord, Gu Tianqiong prepared to use his full strength from the beginning, facing him with twelve points of strength, and then...
Carry out the imperial decree to kill the traitor!
He could not be said to not take it seriously.
Bodhisattva Puxian on the side breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he could not retreat now. Immediately, he put a mysterious spiritual pill into his mouth, took a string of prayer beads from his neck.
His fingers kept twisting the prayer beads, Bodhisattva Puxian kept chanting strange Sanskrit, and at the same time, the Bodhisattva Dharma Idol behind him, which had been mostly damaged, was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was not much he could do, he had to restore his strength to what it was before, and then restrain this powerhouse. The rest was up to Gu Tianqiong. He could not really risk his life for the court.
After doing this, no one could say anything.
The battle was about to break out!
At this moment, thousands of eyes were all focused on this place, containing a mixture of concern, hatred, anger, curiosity, admiration, and so on.
In the expectations of many people, this was the court's strongest power.
If the Shura Lord of the Daoshen Palace still won, then today would be the beginning of the collapse of the Sima family's regime, and many long-hidden people would come out to take a share of the pie.
If Gu Tianqiong won, then everyone in the Daoshen Palace today would fall here.
This was definitely a clash at the peak of the human world.
Such a grand scene might not be encountered for decades.
Many people were extremely excited.
The Lords of the Daoshen Palace were also watching the figure in the void with concern.
They saw Moro smile faintly, his voice resounding for ten thousand meters around, and then, he stretched out his arms, as if embracing the heaven and earth, and murmured in a low voice:
"Maha... Infinite!"
This was a divine power he had cultivated for the past two hundred years. Although it was not at its peak at the moment, it was... enough!
In the heaven and earth, in the emptiness.
A gentle breeze slowly blew, as if descending from the sky, or as if blowing from all directions.
Jiang He on the ground moved his hair slightly and focused his gaze.
In the next moment, an inexplicable terrifying force began to stir from the sky, from the ground, from all directions. That force was frightening and terrifying.
"Boom..."
A thunderclap sounded out of nowhere, and a thin ray of light rose from the ninth heaven and fell with a bang.
The Primordial Qi was rioting, and the wind and clouds were gathering.
The inside and outside of the Imperial City, and the surrounding hundred miles, were all moving.
'Chen Yuan's body trembled slightly, he had reached his limit.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, a ray of light similar to a tornado instantly condensed.
The wind was formless, and the clouds were impermanent.
Within this ray of light, it seemed to contain all things in the world, past, present, and future.
It was intoxicating.
When Gu Tianqiong and Bodhisattva Puxian saw this force surging towards them, their pupils shrank instantly. They no longer cared about anything else and quickly protected themselves.
"Boom!!!"
This vast power exploded in the sky above the Imperial City. The void was even a little unstable, and the houses within a few thousand meters around the Imperial City below collapsed in this strike.
The palaces within the Imperial City also trembled.
"Tiangang Child Cover!"
Cao Zhengxian's expression changed, and he immediately stood in front of the crowd and used his means to resist the attack.
Because his Imperial City Formation was now almost destroyed.
Silence, silence, the heaven and earth froze, only silence remained.
"Cough cough..."
A trace of crimson overflowed from the corner of Gu Tianqiong's mouth.
Bodhisattva Puxian's Dharma Idol was completely destroyed, and his aura weakened, but he had finally blocked this strike.
'Chen Yuan', who was standing in the void, did not move for a long time. His mouth was full of blood under the mask, and his flesh in the black robe was also covered with cracks.
He pretended to be calm and glanced at Jingtai, as if he was disdainful.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly wrapped the Lords of the Daoshen Palace with a powerful force and said indifferently:
"Let's go."
Under the eyes of everyone, a few people broke through the air and flew away, and no one dared to stop them!
Gu Tianqiong also lost his previous arrogance and confidence. He breathed a sigh of relief and watched them slowly disappear before his eyes...

To be honest, I am sprayed every day as a title party, a chapter-cutter...
Let's be fair, was the previous chapter a title party?
I only wrote about killing a True Lord, I didn't say he fell...
As for chapter-cutting, all my endings are chapter-cutting, as long as the plot is not finished.
Please be more tolerant, brothers!!!
Everyone can praise Stone, such as having a large number of updates and not being watered down.
If not, you can also say that I am handsome. After all, the Sword God Jiang He is based on me.
Or, you can say that I am long-lasting.
Let the world be full of love?
Don't be so angry...
I'm giving you my heart, asking for monthly tickets!
