Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo
Chapter 497
Duan De rarely got serious and sighed, “I was once a great hero, but I could only watch the person I loved die for me.”
Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at Jiang Taixu on the Hualong Pond. The God King was enveloped in a hazy light, like a rising sun, absorbing the essence from all directions and devouring the moonlight and starlight.
“Why do you need to cover the body with a white cloth? Why don’t you want me to see your appearance?” Jiang Taixu held the old woman’s body in his hands, his voice choked as he muttered to himself, “In my eyes, you have never changed, always the same, no matter it was four thousand years ago or now!”
“You like the way you looked when you were young, so I will keep you young forever.” Jiang Taixu’s voice was filled with sadness, like the roar of a wounded beast. In an instant, the sea of energy surged in like a surging tide, one layer after another. His hands shone brightly, almost transparent, and he injected all the energy that had gathered into the old woman’s body: “If I can’t save your soul, I will awaken your body!”
Under the nourishment of countless essences, the old woman’s body underwent amazing changes. The wrinkled skin slowly stretched, becoming smooth and shiny, and the sparse hair began to grow, becoming black and shiny. In a moment, Fairy Caiyun seemed to have returned to 4,500 years ago, with black hair, crystal skin, and her peerless appearance restored.
“It’s a pity that the beauty is gone and her soul is destroyed.” Heihuang squatted aside and let out a sigh-like dog bark.
“You bunch of brats must all die today!” Jiang Taixu slowly put down Fairy Caiyun, raised his eyes and swept across the void. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and pierce the enemy’s heart.
“Why should we be afraid of a living dead man who lived four thousand years ago? This is no longer his era! Let’s kill him together!” Thirteen powerful men quickly gathered together and stared at Jiang Taixu coldly. The murderous intent was like a surging black tide, rushing towards him.
“die!”
Jiang Taixu uttered a cold syllable, and in one step he appeared in front of the thirteen powerful men, raising his hand to slap them. This sudden attack caught the thirteen powerful men off guard, their pupils shrank suddenly, and they instinctively raised their hands to block.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the void was shattered directly, as if it was crushed by an invisible giant hand. The thirteen powerful men flew backwards almost at the same time, their blood surging, and blood spurting out of their mouths. Their bodies were like kites with broken strings, drawing arcs in the void and falling heavily to the ground.
“After being sealed for so many years, it’s still so terrifying!” After the thirteen powerful men stabilized their bodies, they were terrified and fear was written all over their faces.
Seeing the thirteen invading men retreating in an instant, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yun looked at each other with delight on their faces. The peerless God King recorded in the ancient books has finally returned!
Jiang Taixu stepped into the void, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his steps were like a supreme god walking in the world. Every step he took seemed to step on the hearts of the people, making people feel an invisible oppression.
“It’s a pity that you still haven’t recovered your former strength. The ending won’t change.” Suddenly, a hoarse voice floated in the air, and a man in a black robe stepped out. At some point, the Yin-Yang Sword appeared in his hand, and the sword body flashed with a strange light, as if telling of endless killing.
“The King of Dark Night!” Jiang Taixu gave up attacking the thirteen powerful men and turned his gaze to the man in black robe. His voice was as cold as ice.
“I didn’t expect you still remember me.” The man in black robe pointed his sword at Jiang Taixu, with flames of hatred flashing in his eyes.
“King of Dark Night, have you forgotten the agreement you signed with Donghuang? What is your purpose in coming here today? Do you really want to tear up the agreement made that year?” The head of the Jiang family stared at the man in black robe, his voice filled with anger and questioning.
“The agreement can be broken, but Jiang Taixu must die!” The King of Dark Night has walked from the darkness to the light, his tone is resolute and there is no room for maneuver.
After the cold voice fell, the Dark Night King’s gaze fell back on Jiang Taixu: “Four thousand years ago, when you killed my brother, did you ever think that this day would come?”
Four thousand years ago, the twin kings of Zhongzhou were famous all over the world. The elder brother was the Sun King and the younger brother was the Dark Night King. The two brothers went out together and swept across the world. They were invincible and could be called the peerless duo. It was hard to find a rival. God King Jiang had encountered countless enemies in his life, but the battle with the Sun King was the most difficult and dangerous, which could be called shocking! They crushed countless mountains and fought for a whole night. Only then did God King Jiang defeat the Sun King with a stunning blow, destroying his body and soul and making him disappear from the world forever.
“Four thousand years have passed, and you have taken this step.” Jiang Taixu seemed to be reminiscing about the past. With a wave of his hand, the Hengyu Divine Furnace floated in front of him. The divine furnace exuded an ancient atmosphere, and the phoenix blood red gold lines on the furnace body flashed with mysterious light, as if telling the glory of the past.
clang–!
Jiang Taixu and the Dark Night King attacked at the same time, each holding an extremely powerful weapon. In an instant, the world seemed to be torn apart by this powerful force, making a deafening roar. In the end, the battle between the Dark Night King and the Peerless God King broke out. They rushed into the sky and displayed their infinite means.
The Hengyu Divine Furnace and the Yin-Yang Divine Sword were also entangled with each other, forming their own battlefield. The Divine Furnace turned into a Divine Phoenix, spreading its huge wings, covering the sky and blocking the sun; the Divine Sword turned into a black lightning, cutting through the sky and piercing the heart of the Divine Phoenix.
In the sky, the two walked in the shattered void. Unlike the battle between powerful beings, what they were fighting was a confrontation of the great way. Although it seemed dull, it was countless times more dangerous than the battle between powerful beings. Every confrontation was accompanied by the distortion of space and the trembling of laws, as if the whole world was shaking under their feet.
“That’s the nine-character secret fighting formula, the way to win the fight!”
“Good stuff!”
The big black dog and Duan De’s eyes glowed with gold as they greedily stared at Jiang Taixu in the distant sky. His black hair was flying wildly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and as he raised his hands and feet, thousands of sword beams shot out, turning the void into a honeycomb and completely piercing through it. The holy fighting method and the holy attack technique were unmatched in the world in terms of lethality!
“Master, who will win between the two of them?” Ye Fan turned his head to look at Jiang Han, pointing at the battlefield in the sky, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
“He has been sealed for more than four thousand years, not to mention he has just awakened…”
Before Jiang Han finished speaking, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the sky, as if it was split open by a giant axe. Then a figure rushed down from the sky, bringing with him endless pressure and momentum.
Boom! The figure did not fall to the ground, but it made a burst of explosions in the air, as if a meteorite had streaked across the sky.
“Ancestor God King!”
Seeing the figure coming down, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yi immediately flew forward to help, with worried expressions on their faces. Their eyes were full of concern and anxiety, as if they were worried about the safety of the God King.
“You are finally defeated by time.” The Dark Night King slowly descended from the sky, and with a wave of his right hand, the Yin-Yang Sword fell into his palm, and then the tip of the sword pointed directly at Jiang Taixu. His whole body released a terrifying aura, like a god descending to inspect the earth, and people dared not look directly at him.
“It’s true that I’m a little overwhelmed.” Jiang Taixu’s words were a little self-deprecating, his voice low and helpless.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, drops of bright red blood seeped out of his body, floating on the surface of his body, and then turned into a blazing flame with a hissing sound. Almost at the same time, his breath fluctuations suddenly rose, and the vigorous blood energy seemed to have returned to more than 4,000 years ago.
“God King Ancestor, no, absolutely not!”
“Ancestor, you just came back, the Jiang family still needs you!”
Seeing the blood dripping out of Jiang Taixu’s body, the faces of the Jiang family’s Patriarch, Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yi changed drastically at the same time. This God King Ancestor was actually burning his original blood essence to temporarily restore his former peak strength! Their voices were full of worry and dissuasion, trying to stop the God King from making this dangerous decision.
“What is the origin of the Dark Night King? Even the revived God King of the Jiang Family is no match for him? He actually forced the God King to burn his original essence and blood!”
“The Dark Night King of the Twin Kings of Zhongzhou is a peak figure of the same era as the God King of the Jiang Family! More than four thousand years have passed, and he is still alive. Obviously, he has become a God King!”
“No wonder the God King of the Jiang Family was defeated!”
……
In the Divine City, a group of monks looked up at Jiang Taixu, whose blood was growing stronger and stronger in the sky, and sighed continuously. Their eyes were full of shock and emotion, as if they were witnessing a legendary duel.
“Given your current state, even if your essence and blood are completely burned out, I am not afraid!” The Dark Night King said coldly, his tone full of disdain and arrogance.
“Then let’s fight again!”
Jiang Taixu suddenly raised his eyes, and two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes, his fighting spirit reached its peak. His shout was like thunder, with divine power piercing through the heaven and earth, shaking the city of gods, and buzzing in everyone’s ears. His figure seemed to become taller, full of endless power and determination.
“The Jiang family still needs you, so leave the rest to me.” At this moment, an extremely calm voice floated from the sky. Although the voice was not loud, it overwhelmed Jiang Taixu’s thunderous shout with an invisible force, and floated clearly in the minds of everyone in the God City.
At that moment, the blazing flames on Jiang Taixu’s body were extinguished in an instant, just like a downpour, and the blood beads floating on the surface of his body were forcibly pressed back into his body. In an instant, Jiang Taixu’s aura, which had risen to the extreme, fell back to its original state. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a circle of mysterious light surrounding Jiang Han, slowly falling from the sky, as if a god who controls fate had descended…
Under the mysterious and ancient city, the sky above the underground palace seemed to be shrouded by an invisible haze, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Suddenly, a dazzling lightning flashed like a dragon tearing through the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a figure appeared on the battlefield without warning.
This figure looked to be only about twenty years old, with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree. He was wearing a green robe, the material of which seemed to contain some mysterious power, and it flashed a strange light under the reflection of the lightning. He stood quietly in the void with his hands behind his back, like an immortal who had transcended the world. And around him, there were some tiny electric currents, swimming like spirit snakes, making crackling sounds, as if telling of his extraordinary origins.
“Look, the blood essence on the body of God King Jiang Taixu has disappeared and returned to his body!” A sharp-eyed monk in a corner of the God City suddenly exclaimed. Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Taixu on the battlefield, only to see that the blood essence that originally covered his body gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared, and his aura also weakened.
“His aura has also weakened. What’s going on? Does he have a new way to deal with the Dark Night King?” Another monk asked with a puzzled look on his face. In this tense atmosphere, everyone was filled with worry and curiosity about the next situation.
“Who is that young man?” More monks turned their eyes away from Jiang Taixu and cast their gazes on the mysterious young man who had just appeared. For a while, all kinds of speculations and discussions arose in the Divine City.
The monks in every corner of the city were staring at the battlefield above the underground palace, their eyes full of tension, curiosity and awe. One by one, their eyes moved from Jiang Taixu to Jiang Han, trying to find the answer from them.
“Who are you?” Jiang Taixu looked at Jiang Han in a daze, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Just now, in order to fight a life-and-death duel with the Dark Night King, he burned his essence and blood, and concentrated his aura to the extreme. However, at the moment when he was about to attack with all his strength, an invisible force was like an indestructible wall, forcibly pushing his aura back. The original essence and blood that was originally burning wildly seemed to be forcibly pulled back by an invisible big hand and returned to his body.
“God King Ancestor, he is the ancestor Hongjun, we asked him to come back to save you. But I didn’t expect that Fairy Caiyun arrived first, and… and sacrificed herself to you.” The head of the Jiang family came to Jiang Taixu and said respectfully. There was a trace of awe and worry in his voice, fearing that Jiang Taixu would do something impulsive because he didn’t understand the situation.
“Ancestor Hongjun? Could he be a new outstanding descendant who has emerged in the four thousand years since I was sealed?” Jiang Taixu murmured, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and contemplation. During the long years he was sealed, the world outside the city of gods had undergone too many changes. He felt unfamiliar and curious about everything in front of him.
“Outstanding junior? You’re talking nonsense!” Duan De also came to the battlefield. After hearing Jiang Taixu’s words, he said directly and bluntly. His voice echoed in the void, with an unquestionable momentum, “Emperor Hengyu of the Jiang family is just a junior in front of the ancestor!”
“Woof woof woof!” A dog barked. The big black dog appeared on the battlefield without anyone noticing. It barked and nodded in agreement with Duan De. (End of this chapter)
