Chapter 286: Chapter 190: The Death of Wenren Wu, Longevity Pill Attracts Attention

Yu Hua turned her head and looked at her fingertip’s Divine Thought, letting out a scoff full of disdain, "Do you call this regret? You merely realize that you will be surpassed by Gu Wen in the future, and that this future will not take long."

"This is the trial of becoming an Immortal, I could have avoided it, yet I did not and naturally, I feel regret."

"Do you think Gu Wen is born of destiny, emerging because of the trial?"

"No, it is you who are."

Lord Emperor said something unexpected, he continued, "You are born of destiny, the Human Race’s Qi Fortune allowed you to inherit Qingcang’s Dao Foundation. This is not your fortune, but Qingcang’s fortune. You are the woman of destiny, you should have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the prosperity of the Human Race and persevered, yet you instead took care of the still mortal Gu Wen."

"Heroes are shaped by the times. Without your unexpected actions, perhaps he would have already become nourishment for my son."

If Yu Hua had followed the original plan, with the Daoist Sect and Daqian joining forces, there should not have been many issues. But then Gu Wen appeared, causing Yu Hua to fall out with all the forces, eventually forcibly making her way to the top of the Earthly List.

Gu Wen has a high talent, but without Yu Hua, he would ultimately be just a family slave.

"That’s why you can’t make it onto the Heavenly List, Zhao Sanming."

Yu Hua heard the implied meaning in the other party’s words, her clear pupils showing disdain, and even a trace of pity.

"If indeed as you say, my ability to wield my ancestor’s power is not my fortune, but my ancestor’s fortune. Then I’ve found that Gu Wen being my discovery is not his fortune, but mine. You know nothing about the contemporary pinnacle of the Earthly List."

The City Lord of Two Realms City, a being who has existed for countless eons, he would also have to seal the list for Gu Wen to claim the top. Lord Emperor, however, feels without him, Gu Wen would ultimately just become fodder for Zhao Feng.

How laughable, how sad.

Originally, Gu Wen’s life was pushed to its limit, the Zhao family scarcely paid him any attention. With his slippery nature, if he had wanted to escape, he certainly could.

Yu Hua was certain that even without herself, Gu Wen would still rise. It would just mean facing more hardships, as the saying goes "Heaven imposes great tasks on this person."

His temperament would not stop advancing just because of some tribulations.

"Zhao Sanming, it’s your honor to dwell in the same land as us two. Watch and speak no more."

In the distance, a Heavenly Sword pressed down the clouds, its giant blade falling from the sky like a mountain range.

Gu Wen’s figure floated up gracefully, like a feather, his left hand’s index and middle fingers merging to form a sword finger, lightly placed three inches before his lips and nose, a smile like scattered blossoms.

"Great General, I am now an invincible being beyond the third level, if you keep pushing, you will die."

"Hahahaha! Do not insult me, today, I shall test my strength against you."

Blood continuously oozed from both of Wenren Wu’s clenched fists, gazing at Gu Wen in the sky, his Nine Revolutions Golden Pill body as sacred as Heaven’s True Sword Dao, the foundation of a Human Immortal.

His eyes showed no fear, wiping the blood from his nostrils, the hundred-meter Soldier Path Golden Figure stood firm in Qiankun.

"One day when you reach the peak of Heaven and Earth, remember the mighty power I exhibited today."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Sword slowly descended, the Golden Figure holding the sword upright, the ground began to fracture.

In just a moment, Wenren Wu’s entire body crackled and popped, muscles tore, meridians ruptured, every inch of muscle shivered.

To forcefully confront the power of the three major immortal skills using common magic, the might of the Heavenly Sword was beyond something an eighty-five Dao Foundation could withstand.

However, at this moment, life and longevity no longer mattered, everything was worth risking.

Wenren Wu hailed from the borderlands, notoriously ruthless and fierce. For people like them, heroes are irrelevant, but they could be heroes in their own right. In the lands where humans and demons clash, death is common, to them, death is mundane.

But fame is incredibly rare.

The prodigies of the Daoist, the Buddha’s sons of the Buddhist Sect, and the Saint Heirs of the Demon Sect were all beyond their concern, they were merely warriors from the borderlands.

Wenren Wu’s eyes blazed with fire, his three souls and seven spirits burnt out, his blood surged like Earth Fire, and his killing qi propped up the Heavenly Sword.

"RISE!!!!"

With a thunderous roar, the Golden Figure slowly lifted the Heavenly Sword, his momentum in extremis reaching its peak.

Gu Wen, looking down upon Wenren Wu from above, his eyes flickered with memories of his past struggle on the brink of death.

At that time, he achieved Dao Foundation Perfection at the third level, while Wenren Wu was at the eighty-fourth Dao Foundation. He was but a child newly entered into cultivation, Wenren Wu was the top True Monarch of the time.

Now the roles had been reversed, he had become the contemporary pinnacle of the Earthly List, Wenren Wu remained the top True Monarch of the time.

Wenren Wu was undoubtedly stronger than before, but alas, still far from enough, his growth not even one ten-thousandth of Gu Wen’s.

"You’ve already risked your life, but that alone is far from enough."

Gu Wen pressed down with his hand, the Heavenly Sword sliced through as easily as a hot knife through fat, in a flash, the Golden Figure was pierced, the sword plunged into the ground, the earth shattered into countless pieces.

Surpassing the third level and being invincible, struggling for your life wouldn’t be called invincible anymore.

The hundred-meter-tall Golden Figure slowly dissolved, Wenren Wu’s eyes wide open, his blood began to cool at this moment, mana no longer surging, all thoughts turned into a sigh.

Gu Wen landed, he did not deliver a death blow, yet he saw the other’s life rapidly slipping away.

His hair turning white strand by strand, skin aging rapidly, eye sockets hollowing out, a strong man in just an instant turned into an old man.

The burning of lifespan did not lead to this, because Gu Wen had been quick with his strike. If life were compared to physical strength, then it’s not possible for one to deplete their energy with a single punch.

The Pills that he mentioned could increase his realm had consumed most of his lifespan.

The reason Chi Yu Zi’s Mysterious Female was called a Divine Skill was precisely because it allowed him to ascend five levels without dying.

Gu Wen had a sudden realization, approached and said, "Great General, it seems you chose the wrong master."

"Hehe..." Wenren Wu collapsed to the ground, looking at the dim space, he said, "For a rebirth like this, how can we speak of the wrong choice. I thought I could rely on my abilities to subdue your momentum. Now I see, even an eighty-six Dao Foundation is not enough to prevail."
