NOVEL WEB Chapter 179 Emperor's Classic
"Retreat quickly!"
Seeing this scene, many people there changed their complexions, a sense of terror blossoming in their hearts, and they fled towards the distance as if fleeing from a snake or scorpion.
In the dazzling light, two forbidden artifacts with power comparable to that of congenital treasures exerted their might, and the vast fluctuations made it seem as though the whole world before their eyes was about to ignite.
Forbidden artifacts can only be used a few times, and sometimes only once, powerful but fleeting. Generally, they are given by top forces to their disciples for protection.
At this moment, the terrifying power of the two forbidden artifacts used by the eldest prince and the second prince exploded, momentarily rivaling congenital treasures in might, formidable and extraordinary.
It should be noted that in the Earth realm, even cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of the Unity realm struggle to withstand the astonishing power of a congenital treasure.
Even the Great Powers of the Heavenly realm would find it the same.
After all, congenital treasures are forged from congenital materials and are exclusive to the titans of the upper realms. Even though what the eldest and second princes were using were only forbidden artifacts and they were only at the Huanxu realm, their might was still not to be underestimated.
Not to mention Great Powers, even cultivators of the Unity realm, if overwhelmed here, would be in peril.
"Brother Gu!"
Yun Zishu was shocked, but he quickly grabbed hold of the Princess Xidie, preventing her from moving forward, together with the ninth prince.
"Gu Bai, if you must blame anyone, blame yourself for being too meddlesome!" The eldest and second princes said with a cold gaze. They couldn't believe that two forbidden artifacts capable of unleashing the power of congenital treasures wouldn't be enough to take down Gu Chen.
A fierce radiance erupted, engulfing Gu Chen's body completely, the two forbidden artifacts burning like two great suns.
Boom!
But suddenly, just as the eldest and second princes were confident in their victory, a myriad of divine lights burst forth, as if a deity had descended from the ninth heaven, and the chanting of many gods seemed to accompany this manifestation.
"What's going on?"
The eldest and second princes frowned, sensing an astonishing presence that gave them an ominous premonition.
"With the power of the forbidden artifacts unleashed, could it be that Gu Bai still has some trick up his sleeve that allows him to survive?" They wondered apprehensively.
Feeling the familiar presence, Princess Xidie, who was struggling, suddenly focused her bright eyes unblinkingly at the center of the light.
Yun Zishu and the ninth prince, holding her, also showed surprise and looked in the same direction as Princess Xidie.
In that place, divine glimmers and fairy mist seemed to burst forth inexhaustibly, as if a corner of a lofty and exalted immortal realm had opened, with bursts of light rain pouring down. The scene was so mysterious and obscured that it sparked endless imagination.
"The forbidden artifacts, are they immobilized?!" People in the distance exclaimed, realizing the truth.
The might of the forbidden artifacts, on par with congenital treasures, ultimately did not fully erupt but was fixed in place by an unknown force. Around them, space-time seemed to solidify.
Point by point divine light, the fairy mist vast and boundless, accompanied by sacred light that could purge all evil, a magnificent domain akin to an immortal realm emerged—it was Gu Chen's unique Holy Domain!
At that moment, his figure was tall and straight, his black hair flowing freely, his body shimmering with dazzling light. The extraordinary Holy Domain, like a divine disc, appeared beside him, enveloping him within it.
At the same time, three hundred and sixty-six acupuncture points on his body glowed, each one with a divine presence seated within, granting diverse mighty powers to Gu Chen.
"Forbidden artifacts indeed possess formidable power," Gu Chen murmured softly, his gaze profound. Fortunately, once the Holy Domain emerged, it could fend off all laws and imprison anything, including the forbidden artifacts.
He extended his hand and with no exception suppressed the two forbidden artifacts there, then put them into the cosmos cauldron and withdrew the Holy Domain.
"You?!"
Seeing how easily Gu Chen dealt with their last resort, the eldest and second princes were simultaneously shocked and angered.
The light from the forbidden artifacts had been so blinding a moment ago, and since Gu Chen had deliberately concealed his actions, the others saw nothing and did not know by what means he immobilized the forbidden artifacts.
Now, Gu Chen stood there with a calm expression, like an unshakeable mountain, blocking the path of the eldest and second princes.
"Given that you two are brothers to Xidie, I will not take your lives," Gu Chen said, his tone calm and as undisturbed as an ancient well, his meaning clear to everyone: the two should leave quickly.
At that moment, the faces of the eldest and second prince turned pale, then flushed. The opportunity left by the ancient ancestor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was within reach, yet unattainable—what torture!
"Gu Bai, must you oppose us so vehemently?" the second prince interrogated with clenched teeth, his fists so tight his knuckles turned white.
The eldest prince's face was also extremely dark, like a sky heavy with clouds, ready to thunder at any moment.
"Gu Bai, are you aware that you've already offended the Seven Stars Sect, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Dragon Sparrow Clan, and the Fire Crow Clan? If you're smart, you'd step aside. Otherwise, once you leave the ancestral land, and with our Holy Brilliance Dynasty on top, you won't even know how you died!" the eldest prince said coldly, his eyes emitting a chilling gleam.
"Can you two represent the entire Holy Brilliance Dynasty?" Gu Chen's eyes were sharp as swords as he retorted.
With that, the faces of the eldest and second princes froze, and they found themselves at a loss for words.
