Immortal God of War

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1173: Fierce Battle!

The State Preceptor was buried under the dust.

Ren Duxing’s face grew paler.

Clearly.

This confrontation had heavily depleted his energy!

With a wave of his hand, the battle sword returned to him, emitting a piercing clang.

"I originally didn’t want to duel with you now. But you forced my hand!"

Murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he stepped into the air above the mountains, a trace of divine sense penetrating the battle sword.

Clang!

The battle sword awakened once more, its sharpness tearing the heavens and earth, an astonishing sight!

"Master State Preceptor!"

"Dong Rui, dare you make a move against the State Preceptor?"

"Let me warn you, if anything happens to the master, His Majesty won’t spare you, and there will be no place for you in the Great Qin Empire!"

The distant law enforcers shouted angrily upon witnessing this.

"No place..."

Ren Duxing muttered with a slight curl of his lips, "This continent originally belonged to me."

Clang!

He suddenly raised his arm, the battle sword in hand radiating ten thousand beams of divine light, and swung it down toward the ruins below!

Boom!

However, just then.

The rubble below exploded, and the State Preceptor soared into the sky, covered in blood, exuding a terrifying ferocity!

"You don’t have the capability to kill this State Preceptor!"

He sneered coldly at Ren Duxing, pointing a finger in the air as the power of a Pseudo God erupted, a pitch-black round moon rising, emitting boundless dark light, its divine aura shocking the world!

"Divine Art!"

Ren Duxing’s pupils contracted.

As a former War God, he understood the power of Divine Arts better than anyone.

Some Divine Arts were no less destructive than a Divine Artifact!

And the Divine Art that the State Preceptor now employed was almost equivalent to the battle sword he held.

"This State Preceptor doesn’t care who you are, but anyone who offends me will pay a heavy price!"

"Annihilate!"

The State Preceptor roared, and the round moon suspended above his head instantly radiated a terrifying killing intent, rushing toward Ren Duxing.

At this moment.

The void shattered, the firmament trembled!

The earth crumbled madly.

The scene was apocalyptic!

From afar, Dong Qing and the law enforcers watched this scene, waves of shock surging within.

Shattering the void, such terrifying means could only be achieved by deities!

Ren Duxing gazed at the round moon, his expression extremely grave.

Logically.

In his current state, he shouldn’t duel with the State Preceptor, especially in such a prolonged vicious battle.

But!

The bow was fully drawn; he had to release the arrow!

The State Preceptor was already enraged, he couldn’t evade it.

Clang!

A sword cry resounded through the heavens and earth.

"Kill!"

He gripped the battle sword tightly, and with a roar, sliced through the air!

A crimson sword shadow, several hundred feet long, burst through the sky, its sharpness sweeping the firmament, madly rushing toward the round moon!

Rumble!

Clang!

In an instant!

The two collided explosively in the sky, like fireworks unfurling, dazzling and brilliant!

"Retreat further!"

The Sacred Monkey roared.

As a former Pseudo God, it knew all too well how terrifying the current clash between Ren Duxing and the State Preceptor was.

Whoosh!!!

Upon hearing the Sacred Monkey’s roar, whether it was Dong Qing or the other three Sacred Beasts, they immediately turned and fled in terror without looking back.

The law enforcers seeing Dong Qing and the four Sacred Beasts flee also followed in escape.

Boom!

Crack!

Their decision was wise.

Because just as they fled, a world-ending shockwave rolled out.

The mountains below collapsed one after another.

Ferocious beasts perished one after another!

Blood soaked the earth!

In the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred miles was razed to flat ground, not a blade of grass left.

Yet it did not stop!

The destructive shockwave, like an irresistible plague, spread further out!

Dong Qing and others used all their strength.

Yet ultimately, they were swept by the aftershock, sent flying, some crashing into the earth creating huge craters, others hitting peaks, their bodies cracking, bleeding like rain!

"This is terrifying beyond belief!"

The law enforcers were utterly shocked.

Their strength in the Great Qin Empire was already formidable, considered at the top of the pyramid.

But compared to the War God, they were as insignificant as ants.

No!

Even worse than ants!

High above.

The wild wind howled, divine might shaking the firmament.

The outer mountains and earth were destroyed, but the heartland and that stele remained intact!

Especially that stele, no matter how intense the battle between Ren Duxing and the State Preceptor, it did not waver at all.

This all seemed slow but occurred in an instant!

Ren Duxing and the State Preceptor also revealed who dominated.

Though Ren Duxing was once a genuine War God, compared to the Pseudo God State Preceptor, the latter held the upper hand.

For now, Ren Duxing’s greatest means were only the Divine Artifacts and Divine Sense.

But now, the State Preceptor wielded a Divine Art no less than a Divine Artifact.

As for Divine Sense.

Through the years of cultivation, his Divine Sense grew much stronger than before, but it was still incomplete.

He had yet to gather a complete Divine Soul.

Without a complete Divine Soul, like the Divine Body, he couldn’t exert full strength.

And earlier, reviving two Divine Artifacts in the heartland consumed much divine sense, followed by the battle with the State Preceptor, depleting more Divine Sense.

So now, he dared not excessively consume Divine Sense.

Once depleted, his form would dissipate completely.

Which meant Ren Duxing’s strongest measures now were ineffective.

Aside from Divine Sense and Divine Artifacts, he had nothing to gain the upper hand.

For example, the physical body.

The State Preceptor himself is already a Pseudo God, so his physical body naturally equates to a Divine Body.

But Ren Duxing, at present, only has a mortal body.

And divine power!

The State Preceptor possesses the power of a Pseudo God.

While Ren Duxing, only has Battle Intent within him.

Battle Intent versus Pseudo God power, that is a tremendous gap!

Also, the Divine Art and Battle Soul!

Ren Duxing certainly possesses a Divine Art, but alas, he currently lacks divine power.

Using Battle Intent to develop a Divine Art is feasible.

Like Qin Feiyang’s Divine Dragon Technique and the Six-Character Mantra.

But the power exerted would probably be less than one percent of the peak power of the Divine Art.

As for the Battle Soul.

The two are even less comparable now.

So.

If the fight continues, even though Ren Duxing was once a War God that surpassed Pseudo Gods, he is bound to lose!

Unless.

He simultaneously revives the Battle Sword and Demon Crystal, combining the power of both Divine Artifacts, to slay the State Preceptor!

But he doesn’t dare.

Besides.

Even if he simultaneously revives the Battle Sword and Demon Crystal, it’s hard to guarantee the State Preceptor has no other means to counter.

After all, as the teacher of the current emperor, the State Preceptor’s methods are certainly not so simple.

"I, the State Preceptor, wish to know who you actually are, to possess a Divine Artifact."

The State Preceptor glanced at Ren Duxing and stared at the crimson Battle Sword in his hand, his true intentions exposed, his eyes full of greed.

"Who am I?"

"Ha ha... "

Ren Duxing laughed heartily, his long hair flying, his clothes rustling, exuding an astonishing aura of dominance.

The State Preceptor raised an eyebrow.

Ren Duxing collected his laughter, looked at the State Preceptor with a proud smile, and said: "Didn’t Qin Feiyang tell you?"

"Qin Feiyang?"

The State Preceptor’s expression froze.

Suddenly!

He recalled what Qin Feiyang had said at the time, his elder eyes widened in shock and doubt: "You are Mu Tianyang!"

"Correct!"

"I am indeed the Emperor!"

Ren Duxing’s body shook, and a vast imperial aura surged forth like torrents and beasts, flooding in all directions.

The State Preceptor’s eyes trembled.

Initially, he thought Mu Tianyang’s return was just a lie fabricated by Qin Feiyang to divert everyone’s attention.

But to his surprise, this former dynasty’s emperor has truly returned!

"Mu Tianyang!"

In the distance.

Feeling the terrifying imperial aura, that group of Law Enforcers was instantly in chaos.

In fact, very, very few people in the Great Qin Empire know the name Mu Tianyang.

First.

Mu Tianyang was a former emperor, and the current emperor certainly wouldn’t allow the name Mu Tianyang to circulate in the world.

Second.

When the Tianyang Empire still existed, people generally revered Mu Tianyang as the War God of Tianyang, or the Emperor.

So over time, the name Mu Tianyang came to be forgotten by the world.

However, as members of the Law Enforcement Hall, and being the Inner Hall Law Enforcers who hold the highest secrets of the Imperial Capital, naturally, they know who Mu Tianyang is.

He is a supreme being capable of confronting the first emperor!

How could this not cause them to panic?

Ren Duxing glanced at those Law Enforcers, then looked at the State Preceptor and sneered: "Looks like the great name of this Emperor is still not forgotten by you."

"I, the State Preceptor, do not believe."

The State Preceptor shook his head.

He still firmly believed his own thoughts.

Mu Tianyang has already died, it’s impossible for him to return.

"Don’t believe?"

"Ha ha..."

"Then I, the Emperor, ask you, in the world today, aside from me, who else has the ability to wield two Divine Artifacts?"

Ren Duxing laughed wildly.

"Two Divine Artifacts!"

The State Preceptor was both shocked and doubtful.

Rumble!

Ren Duxing waved his hand, the Demon Crystal appeared, and immediately black whirlwinds roared out, the demonic might rolling!

"This is..."

The State Preceptor’s eyes bulged, staring fixedly at the Demon Crystal.

"Does it look familiar?"

"I believe there should be detailed records of the Demon Crystal in the historical texts of your Great Qin Empire!"

Ren Duxing teased.

"It’s actually the Demon Crystal..."

The State Preceptor muttered to himself, his aged face full of disbelief.

In the emperor’s study, there is a very ancient book, regarded as a treasure by successive emperors, passed down through generations.

And besides the emperors of successive generations, only he has read it in the Great Qin Empire.

It indeed records something about the Demon Crystal.

According to the records.

The Demon Crystal is a Divine Artifact, capable of controlling storms and gravity, it belonged to the first emperor, so how could it fall into Mu Tianyang’s hands?

Woo woo!

Rumble!

As the State Preceptor was deeply in disbelief, unable to extricate himself, Ren Duxing decisively revived the Demon Crystal!

In an instant.

A terrifying gravity surged in all directions like a landslide and tsunami.

A huge cage instantly condensed, trapping the State Preceptor inside.

Inside the cage.

Black whirlwinds roared, exuding world-destroying might!

"Master, absolutely not!"

The four Sacred Beasts shouted anxiously from a distance.

But Ren Duxing turned a deaf ear.

A wisp of Divine Sense emerged.

Clang!

The crimson Battle Sword revived once again, humming and vibrating above his head, with Sword Qi stretching ten thousand zhang!

The State Preceptor shivered, finally coming to his senses.

Looking at the Demon Crystal and Battle Sword, his expression became exceedingly grave!

The revival of two Divine Artifacts is no child’s play!
