Chapter 124: A First Tribulation Realm Ancestor of Great Qi!

【In the next instant, you and Zhuge Qing saw an old man step out of the darkness, and the cultivation emanating from his body was unmistakably Mahayana.】

【“As expected, these imperial dynasties have more than one Mahayana cultivator.”】

【You looked at Zhuge Qing and asked whether he was confident.】

【After hearing that, Zhuge Qing said nothing and merely nodded with confidence.】

【Right after that, you watched Zhuge Qing and the elder of Great Qi break into a fierce battle.】

【Meanwhile, while the two of them were fighting, you took the opportunity to continuously gather treasures from the treasury of Great Qi.】

【Seeing you so easily looting the treasures that the Great Qi Empire had painstakingly collected, the elder of Great Qi was so enraged that his face flushed red.】

【He had never expected Zhuge Qing to be this troublesome. In his eyes, you had been nothing more than insects.】

【Realizing that he could not break through Zhuge Qing’s attacks, he chose instead to directly bring down the underground treasury itself.】

【BOOM!】

【The sudden turn of events left you no time to collect any more treasures. You quickly placed the Nine Netherworld Grass into your storage ring, then left the underground treasury with Zhuge Qing.】

【Above the Great Qi Imperial Palace, the Great Qi Emperor, who was still fighting fiercely against Zi You, turned his head when he heard the commotion and discovered that it had come from the direction of the treasury.】

【At the same time, the Great Qi Emperor saw you and Zhuge Qing emerging from the treasury, and his expression instantly darkened as though rain were about to fall.】

【“All of you... must... die!”】

【When Zi You saw the two of you emerge, she stopped trying to prolong the fight. Using the Great Void Art, she arrived at your side and prepared to take you away with her.】

【However, when Zi You tried to use the Great Void Art to carry you through space, you discovered that you were trapped inside the Great Qi Imperial Palace.】

【You found that the entire Great Qi Imperial Palace was now covered by a barrier, making it impossible to get out.】

【“Trying to run?”】

【“Did you really think that the treasures of Great Qi were things you could take whenever you pleased?”】

【As soon as those words fell, the elder from the underground treasury flashed over and appeared at the Great Qi Emperor’s side.】

【You saw the Great Qi Emperor respectfully speak to the old man beside him.】

【“Second Ancestor, are you alright?”】

【“I’m fine.”】

【Looking at the situation now before you, you asked Zhuge Qing whether this barrier could be broken.】

【Zhuge Qing let out a long sigh and told you that this barrier had not been formed by a formation, but by a pseudo-Immortal Artifact.】

【Zhuge Qing told you that the barrier could only be broken by another pseudo-Immortal Artifact likewise meant purely for slaughter, or by an even higher-grade Immortal Artifact.】

【Hearing that, you frowned tightly, then turned your gaze toward Zi You.】

【“Senior Sister! Can your Chaos Bell break this barrier?”】

【Zi You looked at you with a complicated expression, then finally shook her head.】

【Zi You explained that her Chaos Bell was not a pseudo-Immortal Artifact meant for slaughter. At most, it could force open any barrier below the level of an Immortal Artifact.】

【“You still have the leisure to talk?”】

【“Are you trying to leave behind your last words for one another?”】

【In the next second, a divine power from the Great Qi Emperor came hurtling toward you.】

【At the same time, all the Imperial Guards and palace defenders within the Great Qi Imperial Palace gathered and completely surrounded you.】

【Among them, you discovered that there were no fewer than ten Integration Realm cultivators.】

【And among them were three leading generals whose cultivations had reached Integration Realm Great Perfection.】

【You had not expected the fighting strength of the Great Qi Empire to be that much greater than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.】

【Looking at the Imperial Guards hemming you in from all sides, the corners of your mouth curved slightly upward.】

【“You don’t actually think I’m some soft target, do you?”】

【As soon as those words fell, you rose into the air, traced a circle with your finger, and then a terrifying pressure spread out above your head.】

【“Great Desolate Sky-Imprisoning Finger!”】

【BOOM!】

【Under your Great Desolate Sky-Imprisoning Finger, one of the leaders at Integration Realm Great Perfection was turned directly into a pool of blood on the spot.】

【Everyone present was stunned by your combat power, and for a moment, no one dared to make the slightest move.】

【Even the Great Qi Emperor, who was battling Zi You nearby, was shocked by the Great Desolate Sky-Imprisoning Finger you had just unleashed.】

【“All of you, attack!”】

【“There are so many of you, and you’re afraid of a single man?”】

【“Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed on the spot!”】

【At the Great Qi Emperor’s command, you saw the surrounding soldiers charge at you like madmen.】

【“Seeking death!”】

【In an instant, you drew the Taixu Sword. With your left hand, you unleashed the Great Desolate Sky-Imprisoning Finger, while with your right hand, you wielded the Taixu Sword and executed the Taixu Sword Art.】

【The Imperial Guards of the Great Qi Imperial Palace had completely underestimated your combat strength. Even the expression of the Great Qi Emperor, who was still fighting Zi You nearby, became darker and darker.】

【Because the Great Qi Emperor saw that everyone surrounding you within the palace had been slaughtered by your hand.】

【Your robes were soaked in blood as you stood there motionless, your eyes fixed on the Taixu Sword in your hand.】

【A sudden thought came to you: although the Taixu Sword was not the complete Taixu Immortal Sword, and had not reached the level of an Immortal Artifact—】

【Even so, the Taixu Immortal Sword was still an existence at the level of an Immortal Artifact. You began wondering whether this thing might be able to break the barrier of the Great Qi Empire.】

【BOOM!】

【Suddenly!】

【You saw the Great Qi Imperial Palace split open down the middle as a figure shot into the sky from within it.】

【When the Great Qi Emperor saw that figure, he respectfully called out,】

【“Ancestor, why have you awakened?”】

【The Second Ancestor of Great Qi also looked at the old man and softly said,】

【“Big Brother!”】

【You saw the Ancestor of Great Qi staring at the Great Qi Emperor with a gloomy expression.】

【“If I hadn’t awakened, this Great Qi Imperial Palace would have been torn apart by all of you!”】

【Then, you saw the Ancestor of Great Qi look at you with a sinister grin.】

【“The farce is over!”】

【“You will all be my nourishment!”】

【In the next instant, you, Zhuge Qing, and Zi You all felt the aura on the Ancestor of Great Qi begin to surge without end.】

【In a short span of time, his cultivation suddenly soared from Initial Mahayana straight to Late Mahayana.】

【Just when you thought it was over, you discovered that the Ancestor of Great Qi’s cultivation was still continuing to rise.】

【In the end, before your stunned eyes, the Ancestor of Great Qi’s cultivation reached the First Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage.】

【“What?”】

【“The Great Qi Empire actually has a First Tribulation Realm mighty figure?”】

【Zhuge Qing stared at the Ancestor of Great Qi in the distance in utter disbelief, and the corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably.】

【Zhuge Qing had never expected the Great Qi Empire to have concealed itself so deeply that even he, someone who had lived in the Central Continent for years, had been deceived.】

【You noticed that even Zi You, at your side, was showing a grave expression, something rarely seen from her.】

【You knew that once Zi You showed that expression, it meant the situation had gone beyond all control.】

【Originally, Zi You’s plan had been to kill the Great Qi Emperor, seize the pseudo-Immortal Artifact, and leave the Central Continent.】

【But now, Zi You had never expected the Great Qi Empire to also have a First Tribulation Realm mighty figure.】

【You saw Zi You directly bring out the Chaos Bell, clearly prepared to fight for her life at any moment.】

【“Wait, Senior Sister!”】
