The Heaven-shattering: Starting from Simulating Becoming an Emperor

Chapter 161 Zhang Huan: You are the challengers...

The battlefield lasted for a long time, with yellow sand flying and the whole place was desolate.

With a whoosh, a streak of purple light flashed across the sky, its speed was extremely fast, almost at the level of a saint.

Behind it, there were more than a dozen rays of light of different colors, chasing closely, their speed no less than that of the purple light.

"Gu Daozi, Ling Wang, I am determined to obtain the source of the Divine Lord's Dao. I will never give it to you even if I die. For the sake of my Lord Huatian Daozun, you guys should take care of yourselves!"

Wrapped in the purple light, a handsome man roared, his face was ferocious, his purple robe was stained with blood, his left shoulder was empty, and he was seriously injured, which had affected his origin.

He held a delicate gem in his hand, and rode the wind, constantly pouring his remaining spiritual power into it.
Several geniuses behind him were chasing him relentlessly, also wielding various treasures. Although they also had injuries on their bodies, they were not as serious as his.

"Everyone, let's capture this man first, and then we can find the source of the Dao by our own means. Whoever gets it will be better than the one in the second half of the ancient road."

The man with a single horn on his head transmitted the message with a sparkling look in his eyes. He was called the Spirit King and was famous for the innate magical powers of his horn.

"You're right. How can the people at the back of the ancient road come here to grab the opportunity? Why should we give it to you? Is it because Dao Zun is so shameless?"

A beautiful woman snorted coldly, her face as cold as ice, and she was obviously dissatisfied with this approach.

How long have those people who became famous in the latter part of the ancient road developed? Not only are the people they carefully dispatched highly capable, they also have various protective treasures. This is a great injustice to them.

"Hmph, a bunch of people who overestimate their own abilities. You haven't reached the second half yet, so you don't know how terrifying the Taoist is. When you get there, you will realize that compared to the Taoist Taoist, you are nothing."

"You still want to get the source of Tao, haha, giving it to you is a waste of heaven's gift, only people like the Tao Master can maximize its value."

The handsome man in purple robe was unwilling to give up even at the cost of his life, and glanced fiercely at the people behind him.

"Then you can die. The source of Tao will not fall into the hands of Tao Zun. Give up!"

The woman thought of a past grudge, and a circle of ice swords condensed around her body. She stabbed at the purple-robed man with a whoosh, intending to kill him directly.

She was a princess of the Snow Emperor clan, named Xue'er. When she first came to Gu Lu, she was somewhat famous and was noticed by this man, who wanted her to follow Dao Zun as well. Naturally, she refused, and after experiencing a few things, a grudge was formed between them.

"Girl, if I wasn't injured, would you dare to fight me?"

The purple-robed man was ferocious and poured all his spiritual power into it. The orb in front of him trembled, releasing a circle of soft light to dispel the crisis. At the same time, his face became paler.

"Kill him, and the source of the Tao will be complete. Even if we can't agree on it afterwards, we can still divide it equally. There's no need to fight among ourselves."

Gu Daozi had a pair of star-like eyebrows and sword-like eyes. He suddenly burst out with a three-foot-long sword in his hand, raised the sword and slashed with force. The avenue symbol on the sword body flashed with brilliance.

"You, the Daozun, will definitely avenge me. None of you will be able to escape!"

The purple-robed man knew he was no match for his opponent, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. He was about to detonate the orb and die together with Gu Daozi and the others.

By then, the source of Tao will not be allowed to be obtained by anyone, and it will be shattered along with him in the storm of the explosion.

"It's okay to die, but the source of Tao cannot be wasted here."

A figure emerged from the void, grabbed his head before he noticed, broke the purple sea of ​​suffering, and took out a ball of light inside.

An almost invisible ball of light, surging with the aura of the Great Dao. This is the source of the Dao, the thing closest to the origin of heaven and earth.

"Who are you? How could the Saint King Gulu allow a strong man of your level to return in the opposite direction?"

The purple-robed man looked incredulous, and said weakly with only half a breath left.

He immediately identified the figure as a cultivator at the rear section of the ancient road.

But this is a bit outrageous. Even though he was the Dao Zun who had the support of the Great Sage Gu Lu, he only sent him back as a mid-level saint after paying a lot of price.

At most, a few treasures were added, and that was the limit. The same was true for several other big figures. No one could send the Saint King back.

With such cultivation, Dao Zun would be considered a local lord in his position. No one would dare to send him back, otherwise it would be like a shark entering a fish pond, and those saints and geniuses would die in despair.

But just when he thought it was impossible, this living Saint King appeared before his eyes.
"You have violated the ancient rules. Even the Saint King will not let you off. Wait for those people to settle the accounts!"

"Oh? Then let them come, provided they have the courage."

Zhang Huan sneered and crushed the head with one hand. It was lucky for those people that he didn't cause trouble for them. Who would dare to come to him?

The Saint King’s mighty power was fully unleashed, surging like a tsunami. The most brilliant geniuses at the front of the ancient road were like ants, drifting helplessly.

"Source of Dao, do you have any other opinions?"

The pressure was so heavy that I couldn't straighten my back. I felt like there were thorns in my back and I felt like I would die at any moment.

The cold words pierced my ears, and with them came a great sense of crisis in my heart, and my subconscious mind was forcing me to recognize the current situation.

This is not a newly promoted Saint King, he is at least one or two levels higher. His aura is as deep and unfathomable as the sea, as if he could kill them with just one move, and any other means would be futile.

How could such a strong man suddenly appear? Facing the huge gap, even the genius of Gu Lu would feel powerless.

"The treasure belongs to the capable. It is destined that it will not bring disgrace to the name of the source of Tao if it falls into the hands of a strong person like you."

The god bowed with a smile, his attitude as respectful as that of a young family member.

The others glanced at him covertly, speechless in their hearts. They had witnessed the ability of this self-proclaimed God, who was able to adapt to the changing circumstances and no one could match him.

"We have the same idea. The fact that the source of the Tao can choose its master and that it can be obtained by the senior proves that it is destined by heaven."

Gu Daozi forced an awkward smile, his face trembling. He had rarely said soft words in his life, let alone compromise.

Xue'er also felt helpless upon seeing this, but she quickly reacted and followed the example of the two people before her to show her loyalty.

"You better think so too."

Zhang Huan glanced at him coldly, with a chill in his words.

"Of course, no one here dares to challenge you, unless he thinks he has lived too long."

The God Lord smiled obsequiously and kept a very humble attitude. It was not through fighting and killing that he, a casual cultivator, could climb to this point.

"Then why are there still some among you who dare to use telepathy to communicate and say that you want to deal with me?" Zhang Huan grinned, a smile that no one felt was friendly, only malicious.

Gu Daozi's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he glanced left and right. After receiving the message, a blazing sword light burned on his body, and the long sword in his hand seemed to come alive, full of spirituality.

"Gu Daozi, are you going to kill us?"

The God Lord was shocked and angry, a look of pain flashed across his eyes for a moment, and he took out a forbidden weapon from the bottom of his box, and tried his best to tear through the void and escape.

"Don't worry about him. He is just a casual cultivator, not a decent guy. I never invited him. It only takes the three of us to surround and seize the source of the Dao!"

Gu Daozi's aura reached its peak, and he briefly entered the late stage of Sainthood. Dozens of weapons and talismans surrounded his body, emitting a deep and unfathomable aura.

With his endless high-level formations and sacred artifacts, as well as the life-protecting talismans from his family, he might have a chance to compete with the Saint King!
Xue'er, the Spirit King on his left and right, also improved his cultivation and briefly became a late-stage saint. His background was fully revealed and he was no less than Gu Daozi!
With the combined power of three people, how could they not be able to defeat the Saint King? Not to mention a Saint King in the early stage, even a Saint King who has already crossed the intermediate level like Dao Zun is not impossible to defeat!
As for the middle-level Dao Zun, if a person like him could go back in person, why would he send a saint? He would have come in person and taken away the source of Dao!
"We have waited here for nearly ten years, and have experienced countless battles, big and small, before finally getting the source of the Tao. How can you, a Saint King, take it away without any effort? Is that possible!"

Gu Daozi's eyes were sharp, he had completely entered a state of unity between man and sword, ready to go.

Before taking action, he conveyed his final thoughts to the other two geniuses.

"Once we kill him, we will divide the treasure and the source of the Tao equally. This is a chance to achieve enlightenment. Once lost, it is lost forever. Even the Saint King cannot take it away. You two should know the consequences."

Xue'er and the Spirit King nodded and took action without hesitation. They stood in a triangle and put their hands together to perform the formation of Jue Tiandi Tong.

The three array centers formed a sword formation, led by Gu Daozi, which trapped all the energy. This was a secret within his clan and it was said that even the Great Sage had been trapped to death by it.

Xue'er touched her forehead with one hand, and a cloud appeared on her fingertips, which covered the three people and amplified them comprehensively. The Spirit King covered the bitter sea and sacrificed a saint king weapon.
The three of them smiled at each other, and a feeling that went beyond competition spread in their hearts. Such cooperation gave the other two people confidence.

Now they are the strongest. Even if Dao Zun comes, he can be defeated, let alone a mere...
"I am the first to start. I have cultivated the sword for thirty years. I will break the dawn of the world. I will cut the sun, moon and stars with one sword. All things will return to the abyss. The name of the sword is Wuji Dao!"

The spirit, energy and holy sword are connected as if they have become a part of the flesh and blood; the man and the sword have reached the ultimate realm, with their edges fully revealed, able to cut through anything and be indestructible.

A ray of sword light that was permeated with the ancient Taoist's understanding of the Tao appeared from the holy sword, and then there were more, endless, and vague white lights.

His black hair danced wildly like a madman, his eyes stared at the holy sword. In his eyes, the other end of the sword overlapped with the figure in the formation and arrived in an instant!
The holy sword hummed, and delivered an ultimate blow that contained all the sword cultivator's energy and spirit. It was as bright as the sun, disrupting the energy of heaven and earth and piercing through the stars.

Trapped in the formation, Zhang Huan almost understood the sword skills in an instant, and there was no ripple in his heart.

The pressure from the sun was beyond the reach of human power, and it was filled with countless sword energies, which even a peak saint would not dare to take on. However, Zhang Huan simply snapped his fingers.

"boom!"

The holy light of the sword shattered, and the sun-like sword energy disintegrated and collapsed like a black hole. A figure flew out from the sun, coughing up blood.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and he was holding a sword with only a few pieces left in his hand. He had a ferocious look on his face and shouted, "Impossible."

"How is it possible that Gu Daozi was defeated so easily, and it was a miserable defeat."

The other two were terrified and quickly sent a message to Gu Daozi, but no one responded to them, like a stone bull falling into the sea.

"He has been traumatized and gone mad. Ignore him and focus on dealing with the Saint King in the formation. If we lose one more formation point, we won't be able to trap him!"

The Spirit King shouted loudly, and used all his strength to activate the Saint King's soldiers. A black pocket treasure bell vibrated, sending out ripples in space.

Xue'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she waved her sleeves to raise auspicious clouds. Even if she had a bad feeling in her heart, it was impossible for them to reconcile at this point, so she could only go all out.

"The small bell made of Bitian Black Divine Jade may be upgraded to a Great Sacred Artifact in the future, given its material."

Zhang Huan had a clear vision and saw through the ins and outs of the weapon. He stepped on the secret of "Xing" and ignored the key points of the formation. He snatched the small bell and crushed it with one palm, and the god disappeared into thin air.

"This is a saint's royal weapon. Even the Great Sage wouldn't dare to crush it so easily."

King Ling murmured, and felt a chill all over his body when he saw this scene. He was cold from head to toe. Even though he had seen many big scenes, he couldn't help but feel fear at this moment.

What kind of powerful people did the Source of Dao attract, and what kind of powerful enemies did they attract?
His consciousness disappeared at that moment, and the next moment his head flew high into the sky. The last thing he saw was the terrified expression on Xue'er's delicate face.

"Sir, I was born into the Snow Emperor family, my body temperature is lower than others, and I am still a young girl. I am willing."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped to death and turned into snow mud.

"The Snow Emperor Clan, I heard they came from a life planet covered in ice and snow, with countless extremely cold creatures, and only the royal family among them can be called the Snow Emperor Clan."

They are called royal family, but in fact they have never produced an emperor. They just show their supreme status of ruling a planet.

This race is similar to humans. They are creatures bred by the planet's nature, or elves. Each one of them is extremely beautiful and is a work of art carved by nature.

Most of the elves in their tribe have no blood relationship, are born naturally, and are all female. In order to reproduce, they need the help of outsiders, and they prefer humans for this.

"I remember a book mentioned that this tribe was often sold as slaves. They became extinct in the ancient times. The great saint in the tribe was also killed and used as a cauldron by a quasi-emperor."

Because of its rarity, high potential and delicious taste, it is often sold at a very high price and is in short supply.

"It's such a miserable situation, and everyone knows about it. I'm afraid no one will miss it. It's not bad to die. At least I didn't get captured and enslaved by some passing great sage."

Zhang Huan complained, then turned around and looked at the last Gu Daozi.

He no longer had the high-spirited look he had a quarter of an hour ago. His eyes were dull and stupid. He held the broken sword and talked to himself. He was not on guard at all even when Zhang Huan approached.

"No way, a random attack made an ancient road demon stunned"

Zhang Huan complained inwardly, and after checking with his spiritual sense, he found that his mental injury was indeed very serious, as if he had gone crazy and possessed, and there was no need to save him.

Under that blow, Gu Daozi's Taoism heart was damaged like never before, and his energy and spirit were weak and his mind was unstable, which caused the backlash of his forced improvement of his realm to come prematurely.

Due to various factors, he was pushed into an endless abyss. The peak was the end, and the "Gudaozi" who was famous for the first half of the ancient road of the human race was gone.

The outstanding and excellent genius of the Ancient Starry Sky Road, who will guarantee the three pearls of the Great Sage in the future, are all gone.

"I don't like bullying weaklings, but there are people who are eager to die. What can I do?"

Zhang Huan sighed, put away the Source of Tao, and headed to the next city.
