Chapter 2320: Chapter 2319: Celestial Venerable’s Nemesis (
The voice of the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable was deep, but the people below felt like they heard the wrath of thunder, their legs turning weak, unable to resist kneeling down.
Long Fei stared at him calmly and said, "It is said that one Celestial Venerable emerges per Star Domain. For you to attain the Dao in this Star Domain is truly your great fortune. I don’t want to disrupt your cultivation. Leave quickly and you may spare your life."
"Arrogant!"
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable did not expect Long Fei to be so rude. He had observed clearly that Long Fei was merely in the Late Phase of the Void Insight Realm, having not yet broken through to the Mahayana Realm.
Yet in front of him, Long Fei still dared to speak such arrogant words.
This muffled shout stirred the clouds in the night sky.
As soon as he spoke, a sharp arc of electricity, with a crackling sound, slashed directly down towards Long Fei.
The electric light was blinding, capable of splitting heaven and earth.
The bright light illuminated the surroundings, turning the ground silver-white.
The mechanical people below, numbering in the thousands, immediately emitted thick smoke, destroyed by the strong electric current of the arc.
The mechanical people of Goldmine City feared thunder and lightning the most.
Wang Xiaoya conjured a green light, first covering everyone around her.
Long Fei raised his hand and turned, causing a void to twist into an arc in front of him.
The electric light entered this arc of space and suddenly emerged above the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable’s head, making a cracking sound, shocking him.
Even though he possessed the Golden Spirit Body, naturally nurtured by this Star Domain, at this moment, his head was struck until golden liquid oozed out.
But he, after all, had the cultivation level of a Celestial Venerable. With a thought, golden elemental power gathered from all directions, quickly restoring his golden body.
He stared at Long Fei, filled with disbelief, saying, "Zodiacal Skyshift? You actually understand the Spatial Law?"
Long Fei smiled faintly, "Just a small trick, no need for surprise. I still say, you can leave now while you still have time. Considering your arduous cultivation journey, I can spare you one life."
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable furrowed his brows tightly, having not heard anyone dare to speak to him like this for a long time since achieving the Celestial Venerate Realm.
His gaze reached the heavens, shouting towards Long Fei, "Do you dare to contend with me above?"
In his hand, a golden Celestial Venerate Sword materialized.
"In that case, let us decide life and death!"
Long Fei responded and simultaneously disappeared from the spot with him.
City Lord Walton saw them leave and immediately ordered Guard Captain Morson, "Go, capture those rebels immediately. If they resist, kill them without mercy."
Morson nodded, immediately mobilizing the camp’s warships and chariots to take action.
Alida requested her father to personally capture the culprit who attacked him during the day.
Walton naturally disagreed with her taking risks and returned to command center, no longer paying attention to her.
She, however, secretly took Victor out on a private mission, and Victor specifically consulted Wang Xiaoya’s opinion.
Wang Xiaoya smiled and told him to follow his heart.
Victor’s steel heart felt emotions for Alida, naturally wanting to stay by her side to protect her.
The two left together, leaving Wang Xiaoya alone to step into the air, chasing after Long Fei and the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable.
In this world’s outer sky, there was a metal defensive wall left by a previous civilization, coiling around the atmosphere.
Although this metal defensive wall was shattered into a heap of steel debris prior to the destruction of this world, it still served as a defense barrier, continuously shielding the people on the ground from sporadic meteorite impacts.
Long Fei and the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable stood on a segment of the steel wall, the massive celestial body stretching beyond sight with widths of hundreds of meters.
Back then, advanced warships were stationed on it.
The cosmos was dark, the temperature plummeted to freezing, silence pervading without a sound.
In the vacuum environment, sound could not propagate.
Yet, the words of the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable rang in Long Fei’s ear, "You do not know the kinds of things I’ve done to achieve the cultivation level of a Celestial Venerable. If you did, you surely wouldn’t dare to challenge my authority."
Long Fei looked at him and said, "Could it be that you summoned the Heavenly Tribulation and destroyed this world?"
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable seemed to recall past memories, saying, "Mortals do not know destiny, always feeling they can change this world. The energy of a Star Domain can only create one or two Celestial Venerables. This world was barren, yet everyone wanted to become a Celestial Venerable. They took a different path, even attempting to bring this world into the land of death. As a Celestial Venerable, I must protect this world. Therefore, I summoned the meteor shower, destroying this world completely. As you can see, how obedient people are now, dare anyone have such crazy thoughts?"
Long Fei questioned him, "How do you know they can’t succeed?"
"Because I am a Celestial Venerable, and they are mortals."
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable’s eyes widened.
Long Fei furrowed his brows, "So, you split this world into two parts, causing them to fall into endless infighting. The poor remain poor, and the rich remain rich?"
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable said, "What’s wrong with this model? The poor are born to serve the rich, these commoners staying in the lower world contributing their physical strength, while the nobles maintain the world’s operation in Sky City. Isn’t it a stable structure?"
Long Fei curiously asked, "Then why do you support Jin Mingzu’s rebellion?"
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable said, "Because this foolish City Lord thinks he can rewrite destiny. He wants to revive the previous civilization’s plan, leading this world back to ruin. Naturally, I must prevent that."
Long Fei looked at him and sighed, "Then we are destined to be enemies. I too am prepared to lead this world to the forbidden land you mentioned."
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable stared at him intently, saying, "You will not succeed, for I will kill you. As a Celestial Venerable, I must protect this world."
Long Fei asked him, "Are you protecting this world, or are you protecting your own interests? You destroyed a previous civilization with a population of over a billion overnight. Did you ever consider the lives of these billion people?"
The Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable retorted with disdain, "Just billions of ants, why care? I am the rule of this world, and if they don’t follow my intentions, they only face destruction."
His golden robe spread wide, the longsword in his hand glowing brightly.
The entire planet seemed instantly illuminated by him, with countless golden elemental power rising from the ground, converging onto the Celestial Venerate Sword in his hand.
He shouted at Long Fei, "I, as Celestial Venerable, will suppress the heavens and the earth. Heaven as father, earth as mother. The whole world is my source of power. What do you have to fight me?"
His longsword slashed, enveloping Long Fei from above.
The sword qi was fierce, piercing the starry sky.
A golden sword radiance nearly ten thousand meters long seemed like a golden roar, slashing down from the cosmos, rushing towards Long Fei with a rumble.
The Celestial Venerate Sword illuminated the starry sky.
The citizens of the city below could see it clearly, watching wide-eyed as a giant golden sword descended from the sky, believing it was the descent of the Divine Spirits, all scared into kneeling and praying.
