Chapter 144: Are You Worthy of Being Called Invincible?
"Disciple, why have you not yet knelt to pay respect to your master?"
Seeing Qin Zi's stiff face, Emperor Yu's smile became more benevolent, and his eyes squinted.
"Senior Ancestor, your master has arrived, quickly pay your respects. What are you waiting for? Do not forget your manners."
Su Xuanlong urged, his expression sincere, slightly anxious, as if he was afraid Qin Zi would be punished.
However, deep within that sincere expression was a trace of schadenfreude—Grandson, you have your day too!
Weren't you acting all high and mighty before?
Let's see what you do now!!
Qin Zi was still at a loss, his face shifting, as he somewhat feared Emperor Yu, but absolutely refused to kneel.
"Hmm? Disciple, why haven't you paid your respects?"
At this moment, Emperor Yu's brow furrowed, and his benevolent face instantly turned incredibly stern, speaking softly: "Could it be that after traveling for a few years and seeing the world, you have grown proud and do not recognize your master?"
"This..."
Qin Zi was struck as if by lightning; this righteous tone was so familiar to him, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
And Emperor Yu, with a dignified gaze, continued: "You apprenticed at seven, now it's been twelve years. I taught you cultivation, passed on Divine Techniques, and even granted you an Imperial Artifact. Now, your wings have hardened, and you don't recognize your master?!"
Pfft!
Qin Zi almost spat blood on the spot.
Apprenticed at seven, twelve years...
Wasn't that what he had just said? Now Emperor Yu had turned his words against him, how could he answer?
For a moment, he truly felt like karma had struck.
"Kneel!!"
At this moment, Emperor Yu suddenly shouted, a terrifying pressure swept out, and instantly, the sky flashed with lightning and thunder.
"Boom!"
The thunderous explosion, accompanied by dazzling lightning, illuminated the world, causing Qin Zi's heart to shudder fiercely.
Under this dual pressure of body and mind, his knees almost gave way, but... he held firm!
He already had a master; how could he possibly acknowledge the despicable Emperor Yu as his master and kneel to him?
"Hmm? Still unwilling to kneel? Could it be that during the past years outside, you've been bewitched by some malevolent forces?"
Emperor Yu's face showed anger, then he took a deep breath, seemingly restraining his fury, his tone softened considerably, and he said: "Considering our twelve years of master-disciple bond, I will give you another chance."
"No matter what you experienced outside, as long as you lower your head today and admit your mistakes, you will still be my disciple. But if you persist in your stubbornness... then I must cleanse the sect!"
Hua!
As his words fell, an invisible sharpness seemed to spread, rapidly lowering the temperature around them, bone-chillingly cold.
Qin Zi said nothing.
And Qin Chuan suddenly laughed.
He looked up at the high and mighty Emperor Yu, taunting: "Hehe, Emperor Yu, are you finally revealing your true intent?"
"What did you say?"
Emperor Yu's brow furrowed, looking at him.
"At this point, there's no need to pretend anymore; there's no one else here. Even if you speak the truth, it won't get out."
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"Nonsense! I don't know what you're talking about!" Emperor Yu sneered, full of righteous indignation.
Even now, he refused to admit it.
He was cautious enough not to become overly talkative when he thought he had the upper hand because he knew that the walls have ears, and fools die from too much talk.
Maybe when he gleefully spoke the truth, someone could have recorded it with a Sound Recording Stone, and once spread, he would be utterly disgraced!
Although there were no outsiders here.
But… who could truly be considered an insider?
Aside from himself, he trusted no one.
Even with Su Xuanlong and these elders, who could guarantee they weren't spies or harboring rebellious intentions?
"Hehe, you're still cautious."
Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled, saying: "In the last thousand years of the Eastern Domain, you alone have become an Emperor, and that is no coincidence."
"Mad words!"
Emperor Yu coldly glanced at Qin Chuan, then ignored him, continuing to look at Qin Zi with a somber tone:
"Regardless of who has fooled you, I hope you can return to the right path. If you persist in your stubbornness, following those malevolent paths, I... will be forced to act with a heavy heart."
"Bah! You shameless old thing, am I truly your disciple or not? You don't know? Could it be you lie so much that you believe your own lies? Truly, if one is shameless, they're invincible in the world!"
Qin Zi could no longer tolerate this person's hypocritical facade, directly spitting and cursing at Emperor Yu.
"Insolence!!"
Emperor Yu shouted angrily, and instantly, dark clouds gathered overhead, seemingly drawn by his emotions, darkening the sky.
He looked down at Qin Zi, his eyes stern and cold, self-mockingly laughing: "Heh heh, who would have thought! I've raised an ungrateful wretch after all these years of nurturing in hardship, with all my heart!"
"In my life, I've judged countless people, and this time, indeed, I misjudged! As the ancients said, you cannot judge a man by his youth!"
"When you were seven, I observed your excellent potential and pure heart, thinking you were promising talent, but now, after your cultivation success, you've turned into a rebellious, ancestor-disowning scoundrel!"
"I once worried about your safety, gifting you the Imperial Artifact, hoping you could protect yourself. But now it seems... you don't know how many innocent lives you have harmed with it! I truly regret it! Regret it!"
Qin Zi sneered at the words, "You shameless old thing, you just want to snatch the Imperial Artifact, making up all these stories for whom to hear?!"
"Ah..."
Emperor Yu wasn't angry but sighed, showing a hint of guilt and a touch of compassion: "All the evil began because of me. Today, let me end this evil with my own hands..."
Buzz!
After speaking, he slowly raised his right hand, and at that moment, everyone had an illusion—it seemed as if he had lifted the entire sky.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
In the sky, cyan tornadoes appeared out of nowhere, gathering like mountain peaks from all directions.
There was also white lightning, spreading like spider webs, wrapping around the tornadoes, merging them into one.
The tearing power of the tornadoes and the ferocious nature of the lightning fused perfectly, then crushed towards Qin Zi.
Like the end of the world!
This destructive force could instantly tear apart a Saint of the Ninth Heavenly Layer!
"Ding! Due to your son's troublemaking on enemy territory, and the enemy being too powerful, the system gifts you a Show-Off Safety Card!"
The system's voice echoed.
Then, Qin Zi saw the golden card. He flipped it open, and the system's notification sounded again:
"Ding! Congratulations! You've temporarily gained the power of a Triple Calamity Emperor for thirty minutes!"
Buzz!
The next moment, Qin Chuan felt an unprecedented powerful force pouring into his body, vast as an ocean!
In front of this power, a Saint of the Ninth Heavenly Layer is like paper, easily crushed to death in one move.
And at this moment, the cyan tornadoes wrapped in lightning had already collided, as if they were going to tear everything apart!
Qin Chuan slowly raised his right hand, then clenched his five fingers sharply, and softly uttered a word: "Destroy."
"Boom!!!"
A thunderous sound, like the wrath of the gods, and the towering lightning tornadoes shattered like mountains, collapsing and dispersing into countless remnants.
"Hmm?!"
Emperor Yu's originally indifferent expression suddenly tightened, his eyes shot out sharp golden light, staring at Qin Chuan.
He felt the person's aura had changed!
Like an ant suddenly breaking its small shell and a beautiful colorful phoenix emerging from within, spreading its mighty wings to cover the Celestial Vault!
"You... are a Realm Emperor too?" He asked in a deep voice.
"What do you think?"
Qin Chuan smirked with amusement and replied.
Emperor Yu squinted his eyes, his expression turning grim, and coldly asked, "Since you are also a Realm Emperor, you must have come prepared this time... What do you want from my Dongsheng Divine Sect?"
"Justice!!"
Qin Chuan raised his head, loudly saying, "As a strong Realm Emperor, you oppress others and attempt to use open schemes to seize my son's Imperial Artifact. Tell me, shouldn't I come to seek justice?"
Emperor Yu's complexion remained unchanged, as if he expected Qin Chuan to say this, then asked, "What about the Dragon Fish?"
"Heh, my son was wronged, shouldn't he collect some interest? Are a few Dragon Fish too much?"
Qin Chuan coldly laughed.
"If that's not much, then in your view, what is considered much?" Emperor Yu's voice cooled down.
"Taking your life wouldn't be too much!"
Qin Chuan's gaze suddenly turned icy, then he stomped his right foot, and the Power of Law swept out like a tsunami, raising waves of a thousand lengths high, as if the entire sky was leaning towards Emperor Yu.
"Break!"
Emperor Yu slapped out with his right hand, pouring out Vast Power, splitting the terrifying law tsunami into pieces!
However, after these Power of Law exploded, they regrouped together, transforming into a majestic lion that filled the Celestial Vault. The lion opened its huge mouth, enveloping Emperor Yu.
The huge mouth swallowed the sky!
And through the throat of the lion, one could see inside its belly a world composed of countless lightning and magma, like a purgatory!
"Celestial Feather Dragon Slayer!"
Emperor Yu roared, and five beams of the Light of Law shot out from behind him, neatly arranged into two colossal Sacred Wings, then the wings were raised sharply, slicing towards the great lion like two swords!
"Pshhh!!"
The great lion was cut into three segments by the wings, and the hot magma flowed like waterfalls, with thunder exploding, illuminating the Celestial Vault.
Emperor Yu, carrying the Sacred Wings, bathed in magma and lightning, remained unmoved like a mountain, appearing even more imposing, like a deity.
He looked at Qin Chuan and spoke coldly:
"I, Emperor Yu, have roamed the Eastern Domain for a thousand years, swept in all directions, always invincible. Even if you are also a Realm Emperor, today... what can you do to me?!"
His voice was resounding, confident, and majestic.
"You dare call yourself invincible?"
Qin Chuan sneered, then casually flicked his right hand toward the sky, sending a slender sword light soaring into the clouds, like a white thread extending into the firmament, unknown how far it reached.
Then, it descended sharply!
