“Is it really true?”
Doubts began to sprout in the hearts of some people. They couldn't help but look up at Emperor Liang Sheng, who was still floating in mid-air.
“Senior Brother, is that Old Emperor really finished?”
Wang Li of the Red Immortal Sect was full of curiosity.
“Senior Brother, what’s going on with that Old Emperor? He’s just a Martial Arts Grandmaster, how can he keep floating there?”
Seeing that Junior Sister Wang had also noticed this, Han Feiyu couldn’t help but nod.
“According to records, about seventy or eighty years ago, the emperors of this Liang Country already possessed this ability. The elders speculate that it might be an innate divine ability!”
“Divine ability?”
Hearing Han Feiyu say this, the other junior brothers and sisters of the Red Immortal Sect were all greatly astonished.
One must know that a divine ability can only be imprinted when one achieves the Golden Core realm, and even then, it must be a high-grade Golden Core to have a chance!
As for innate divine abilities, while not unheard of, there are very few recorded instances throughout the entire Tianlong Continent.
“This, an innate divine ability… Could it be, Senior Brother Han, is this why the elders want us to support that Zhang Tianbao?” Wang Li couldn't help but think of a special method.
It could strip others of their divine abilities.
However, when using this method, it was easy to provoke resistance from the opponent's Golden Core.
This could cause one's own Golden Core realm to drop; even a top-grade Golden Core could fall to a mid-grade!
But the Emperor of this Liang Country clearly wasn't a cultivator.
If they stripped him of his innate divine ability, there would be no need to worry.
Wang Li thought of this and couldn't help but feel tempted.
Han Feiyu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, what's wrong with this Junior Sister Wang?
How could she say such things in front of so many junior brothers?
But then he remembered that she was the elder's granddaughter, so he held back.
Meanwhile, General Zhang Tianbao had already put everything on the line.
“Fire arrows, shoot this dog emperor to death.”
In an instant, countless arrows rained down like a black cloud.
“Your Majesty, be careful!” The head eunuch Wei Zhongxian exclaimed, then quickly hid behind the battlements of the city wall.
The officials on the city wall were also crying out in fear, dodging the arrows!
“Your Majesty, this is great, that Old Emperor is finished!” Seeing Emperor Liang Sheng covered by countless arrows, the beautiful young palace maid shrieked excitedly!
Wu Liniang's brows furrowed as never before. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Emperor Liang Sheng's figure above the capital suddenly burst forth with a golden light.
Immediately after, countless arrows were instantly pulverized within the golden light.
“Invincible Golden Body!” Su Wei Yue, Concubine Su of Qingliang Palace, recalled the records from her family, remembering what the family elders had shown her before she entered the imperial palace.
Now seeing it with her own eyes, Su Wei Yue still found it hard to believe.
However, despite finding it hard to believe, she had no choice but to believe it.
Because that Old Emperor had already charged out.
“Rebellious traitors, everyone has the right to punish them.” Emperor Liang Sheng had originally been a bit worried about killing everyone and harming the natural order.
Now, he no longer had to worry about that.
The East Wind Great Spear, in Emperor Liang Sheng's hand, visibly grew larger and longer.
With one mighty cleave, it instantly covered four to five li.
The rumbling vibrations, let alone the common people within the capital, even the Red Immortal Sect members on Yandang Mountain, several li away, felt the tremor.
“This~” Wang Li's cherry-red mouth fell open, utterly astonished.
The other disciples of the Red Immortal Sect looked as if they were watching a battle between sect elders.
Even Senior Brother Han Feiyu, who had always been composed, couldn't help but wonder if he had offended someone in the sect and been set up.
That's why he was assigned this mission.
“That’s right, it’s this!” The old storyteller, who had spoken earlier, was now the first to react.
“I told you so, I told you so! I didn’t remember wrong, Emperor Liang Sheng was just like this back then, instantly annihilating 50,000 allied Imperial Guards.”
“What, what is that?” Those who had been listening to the story, seeing this scene with their own eyes, no longer dared to refute. Suppressing their inner shock, they asked!
“A spear!” The old storyteller couldn't help but show off. “It is said that this spear was forged by Emperor Liang Sheng using those 50,000 Imperial Guards as a sacrifice.”
“That’s not right!” Someone reacted and immediately retorted. “Back then, before he killed them, when there were 50,000 Imperial Guards, what did that… that Emperor use?”
The old storyteller looked at the young man, recalling the great battle he had witnessed as a child seventy or eighty years ago, then proudly said, “Fists!”
“Fists as big as sandbags. One punch, and it became our Luocheng Great River!”
“Luocheng Great River? Is that the great river outside Luocheng in the Central Plains?”
Seeing the old storyteller nod in confirmation, everyone was speechless.
All that remained was silence, as if even the heartbeats of those around them could be heard.
“This, impossible!”
General Zhang Tianbao, his eyes bloodshot, stared at the scene before him and shrieked in disbelief!
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even the Immortal Sects of the world couldn’t possess such power.”
In times of despair, people often grasp at any straw that might save their lives.
Such was the case with Zhang Tianbao. He watched with his own eyes as most of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers he brought turned into dust!
The rest either wet themselves in fear or scattered like startled birds.
Zhang Tianbao immediately thought of the Red Immortal Sect disciples who had helped him break through to the Grandmaster realm.
“Immortal Sect?” Emperor Liang Sheng frowned slightly. Having been Emperor for so many years, he had heard of the Immortal Sects of the world.
And when he founded the country, there were indeed some who called themselves 'Venerables' or 'Immortals' who came to assist!
Of course, they all helped his enemies.
However, those so-called Venerables and Immortals, apart from being able to breathe fire, summon rain, or unleash some lightning.
There was nothing more impressive about them.
As soon as he got close, their physical bodies were so fragile that they were inferior even to high-level martial artists.
As for immortal arts, Emperor Liang Sheng truly hadn't collected any.
Those who knew about things like storage rings?
Emperor Liang Sheng couldn't open them at all back then and could only collect them in the imperial palace's treasury.
And later, when he ruled the entire Great Liang Empire, there were also some so-called immortal sect members who came before him, saying they wanted to help him govern the country!
Pah!
Religious divine power and the Emperor's authority were inherently in conflict.
As a qualified transmigrator, how could Emperor Liang Sheng believe them?
As for seeking immortality and medicine, Emperor Liang Sheng dared not consume them even more.
Who knew if they would kill him?
Of course, all of this was in the past. Now that he had the Mandate of Heaven, Emperor Liang Sheng could try it when he had time!
“It’s over, that General Shenwu is too useless. He’s probably finished, Senior Brother, should we intervene?”
