Chapter 61: Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Revealed! The Buddha Emperor Appears! The Past of Emperor Ye!
The moment those four words were uttered, only deathly silence remained between heaven and earth.
On the Heavenly Court Square, the cultivators of various races who were previously toasting and drinking were now too afraid to even breathe.
No one expected that, faced with the combined pressure from the three supreme beings of the forbidden zones, this young Heavenly Emperor not only did not back down in the slightest, but instead slapped them across the face.
Although no physical action was taken, the phrase "You don't deserve it" was even more ruthless than any physical attack.
This is like peeling off the face of a supreme being and throwing it on the ground to stomp on.
...
Douluo Continent.
Countless viewers who were initially on tenterhooks now felt their blood run cold and their scalps tingle.
Shrek Academy.
Flander swung his fist hard and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Just!"
That's fucking awesome!
"This is the true Heavenly Emperor! What are Supreme Beings and Dragon Emperors compared to Gu Changsheng!"
Oscar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
"That scared me to death. For a moment just now, I thought Gu Changsheng was about to back down."
"After all, those were three ancient monsters who had lived for who knows how many years. Just looking at the screen made my legs tremble."
Tang San stood to the side, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
"The heart of a strong person."
"This is true invincible belief."
"No matter what kind of opponent we face, even if the sky falls, we will still be higher than the sky."
"That Netherworld Dragon Emperor thinks he can overwhelm Gu Changsheng with his aura? He's just delusional."
Although they were separated by two worlds, Gu Changsheng's calm and domineering aura gave everyone on Douluo Continent a great sense of security.
As long as that man sits there.
The Heavenly Court will not collapse.
...
The scene of the Heavenly Banquet.
The old face of the Netherworld Dragon Emperor, covered with scales, was now as black as the bottom of a pot.
He stared intently at Gu Changsheng, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.
How many tens of thousands of years has it been since he took over the Dragon Nest and became the ruler of the forbidden zone?
No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
Even the great emperor of yesteryear had to give him some respect.
But today, at a younger man's birthday banquet, he was publicly humiliated.
"Good."
"Very good."
The Netherworld Dragon Emperor laughed in extreme anger, his voice sounding as if it came from the deepest hell.
"Gu Changsheng, you've got guts."
"I'd like to see if you'll still be so stubborn when the Heavenly Court collapses."
Just when the atmosphere was tense and a major battle seemed imminent.
The Nine Heavens God Emperor, who had been sitting on the right side without saying a word, suddenly tapped the table lightly.
"Youhuang, calm down."
The Nine Heavens God Emperor wore a warm smile, looking like a kind old neighbor.
But those who know him well know that he is the real ruthless one who eats people without spitting out the bones.
He looked at Gu Changsheng and said slowly and deliberately:
"Emperor Gu, we didn't come here today just to fight and kill each other."
"After all, it's your birthday, and seeing blood is ultimately unlucky."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve.
A curtain of light appeared in mid-air.
The scene depicts a vast, boundless, dark starry sky.
In the depths of the starry sky, nine enormous dragon corpses, pulling a bronze coffin bearing the marks of time, floated silently.
"This is something we discovered not long ago in a star field in the outer heavens."
The Nine Heavens God Emperor looked at Gu Changsheng with a smile.
"According to reports from Wanlong Nest's spies, this thing seems to be related to that person."
Gu Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to lean lazily back in his chair.
However, the numerous cultivators below erupted in uproar the moment they saw the nine dragons pulling the coffin.
"That is..."
"Nine dragons pulling a coffin!"
"Is the legend true? Does this thing really exist?"
The Nine Heavens God Emperor was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and then said:
"This coffin contains what that person left behind."
"Ye Fan."
"Emperor Ye Tian."
Boom!
These three words caused an even bigger sensation than Gu Changsheng's earlier "You're not worthy."
The entire Heavenly Court Square was in an uproar.
Ye Fan!
That's a taboo name.
It is a legend that has suppressed the heavens for eternity, making them unable to lift their heads.
"It was something left behind by Emperor Ye Tian?"
"That man who once suppressed an era and finally fought his way into the Immortal Realm?"
"My God, no wonder the three Supreme Beings came together, so that's why!"
Murmurs rose and fell among the crowd.
All eyes turned fervent.
Even some powerful figures who were initially observing the situation now had a change in their expressions.
Everyone knows that Gu Changsheng, like Ye Fan, possesses the Ancient Sacred Body.
Once this physique is fully developed, its combat power will be unparalleled, enough to challenge even the Great Emperor.
But it has a fatal flaw.
That is, it is extremely difficult to attain enlightenment and become an emperor.
Heaven will not allow such a heaven-defying physique to advance any further.
But Ye Fan broke this curse.
He not only became an emperor, but also a celestial emperor, and eventually ascended to immortality.
If someone else were to obtain this coffin, they might only receive some treasures or cultivation techniques.
But if Gu Changsheng gets it...
Perhaps he can find the opportunity to break the curse of the Sacred Body and become an emperor within it!
Even... the chance to become an immortal!
This is an irresistible and fatal temptation for any practitioner.
Especially for someone like Gu Changsheng, who is already stuck at the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.
The Nine Heavens God Emperor looked at Gu Changsheng with a half-smile.
"Emperor Gu Tian."
"As a fellow member of the Sacred Body, I think you should understand the value of this thing better than anyone else."
"If you agree, we can make the decision to give you this coffin for your study."
This is a deal.
It's also a calculated move.
He was betting that Gu Changsheng wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.
...
Douluo Continent.
The barrage of comments exploded again.
[Qian Daoliu: Emperor Ye? Sounds even more powerful than these Supreme Beings?]
[Bibi Dong: Suppressing an era, conquering the Immortal Realm... this already surpasses the existence of a God-King, right?]
[Passerby: This... this must be fake... it's impossible for anyone to break through the limitations of a martial soul... to break through the limitations of physical constitution...]
Everyone perked up their ears.
They wanted to know how Gu Changsheng would choose when faced with such a life-changing gift.
Just then.
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light shone brightly in the western sky.
A series of chanting sounds came from the void, as resounding as a great bell, shaking people's hearts.
Golden petals rained down from the sky.
A grand, compassionate, yet infinitely majestic aura instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Court.
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
It was as if a true Buddha was sitting on the clouds, looking down upon all living beings.
In that sky full of golden light.
A bald monk wearing a kasaya, barefoot, stepped through the air.
With each step, a golden lotus flower blooms beneath his feet.
"Amitabha."
A single Buddhist chant resounded throughout heaven and earth.
The monk looked kind and gentle, with no trace of worldly air about him, just like an ordinary old monk.
However, none of the monks present dared to underestimate him.
Because he is the Buddha Emperor.
The master of Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert.
