Chapter 2090 - 2091: Seizing the Flesh! (Fourth Update)
There was no point talking more. Gu Tian didn’t want to leave Ge Tian too much time to get used to his new body.
Gu Tian made his move, pressing down on Ge Tian with power at the All-Heavens level.
Ge Tian snorted, flipped his palm to prop up the sky, turning it into an ultimate force that shattered Gu Tian’s pressing attack.
Bang!
Ge Tian’s brows knit together as he cursed inwardly, damn it. Right now he was using Ye Qiu’s supreme body to contend against Gu Tian of the All-Heavens Realm. Even though his soul was extremely high-level, this was ultimately not his peak, and there was still a considerable gap between him and Gu Tian.
Failing to break Gu Tian’s attack with the first strike was actually quite normal.
Seeing this, Gu Tian said flatly, "Even if you forcefully seize another’s body, you’re no longer who you once were. You’re not my match."
Ge Tian clasped his hands behind his back. The hint of anger from before had vanished without a trace.
Instead, a cold smile appeared on his face as he replied, "You think I didn’t anticipate this situation? Since I dared to take his body now, I was never afraid of you showing up."
"Heaven has favored me, letting me hide inside the body of a descendant of the Du Gu clan. Do you know what’s most terrifying about the Du Gu bloodline? It’s their Bloodline Power!"
"It’s laughable that the world only treats it as a cursed power. Little do they know that’s just a pretext the Heavenly Palace uses to cover up its probing into that Bloodline Power."
Ge Tian revealed a secret: the reason the Heavenly Palace hunted down the descendants of the Du Gu clan everywhere was to study their Bloodline Power.
Donghua Holy Son and the old man, shocked by this news, were both shaken to the core.
Only a very small number of people knew this truth. Even powerhouses at the Supreme Saint level weren’t qualified to know.
"Now that I’ve taken this body, this Bloodline Power can be used by me. Even if it only lets me step into the All-Heavens Realm for a few breaths, it’s more than enough to kill you!" Ge Tian looked coldly at Gu Tian as mysterious black patterns began to appear on his body, quietly spreading to cover half his face.
Boom!
Ge Tian’s aura surged violently, instantly stepping into the All-Heavens Realm. The moment he crossed that threshold, he launched an attack on Gu Tian.
The clash between the two instantly turned this universe into a blazing battlefield. Wherever they passed, everything was reduced to ash.
At this moment, joy appeared on the old man’s face beside Donghua Holy Son, because Gu Tian had previously sealed this stretch of heaven and earth so they couldn’t leave at all. But now it was different: the All-Heavens-level clash had loosened the seal.
"We find an opening and leave at once, then send word back to the sect," the old man said.
Donghua Holy Son nodded, continuing to watch the battle, ready to seize the right moment.
The duel of the two powerhouses in the sky wasn’t something they could see clearly at their level. They could only determine where the two were fighting by observing where massive energy fluctuations erupted.
The blackened Ge Tian was terrifying to the extreme. One had to know he was someone who had almost stepped into the Dao Lord Realm, standing at the very pinnacle among All-Heavens-level beings.
Gu Tian was different. He was a new soul born from Ge Tian’s original body. Although he possessed Ge Tian’s former power, he was still somewhat lacking in martial experience.
Right now their strength was similar, but their martial experience was vastly different.
Gu Tian’s Dao attainment was ultimately too shallow. He was grievously wounded in an instant by Ge Tian, his body blasted apart.
Ge Tian struck with extreme ruthlessness, holding nothing back. Even though he was hitting the body that had once belonged to him, he felt not the slightest pity. At his realm, everything was only for himself.
Gu Tian was no longer peerlessly dazzling; at this moment he was even more bedraggled, one hand clutching his damaged body, unwillingness in his eyes.
Ge Tian’s figure flickered and he appeared in front of Gu Tian. At the same time, around Gu Tian, the Taihuang Bell, the Bahuang Sword, and the Horn of Death all emerged.
It was obvious that next, Ge Tian would use these three supreme treasures to kill Gu Tian, to erase the soul that had been born from his former body and end this causality that shouldn’t have existed.
"I was the one who granted you life. Taking it back now is only natural. So, you should rest in peace."
With a thought from Ge Tian, the three supreme treasures burst forth with unprecedented radiance and instantly launched a killing strike!
Just as the three supreme treasures were about to land on Gu Tian, they all suddenly froze.
From Gu Tian’s mouth came Ye Qiu’s voice: "I’m their master. You stole my body, moved my weapons, and tried to kill my benefactor. I don’t care who you are—I won’t let you off."
Right after that, another sentence came from Ye Qiu’s mouth: "You ant, your mission is already over. Why not just go to sleep forever? I’ll live in your place, and do it better, even step into a higher realm."
"I, Ye Qiu, can climb to the peak of martial arts by my own strength. I don’t need you to live in my stead."
"That’s not up to you."
"Old monster, you’ve been hiding in my body for so long—did you think I didn’t know?"
"So what if you know. With your strength alone, you can’t resist me."
"Alone I can’t defeat you, but don’t forget, you’re not facing only me."
Ye Qiu was talking to himself, two different voices coming from his mouth. As the last sentence fell, a Soul Body leapt out from Gu Tian’s body and instantly dove into Ye Qiu’s body.
Ye Qiu’s soul and Gu Tian’s soul joined forces. At this moment, taking Ye Qiu’s flesh as the battlefield, they began a life-and-death struggle with Ge Tian.
Donghua Holy Son and the old man watched Ye Qiu and Gu Tian, who were now perfectly still, not daring to approach. They only heard the old man say, "Take this chance and leave at once."
Swoosh.
The old man launched a ferocious attack at the sky. The seal Gu Tian had laid down had previously shown cracks but had not been completely broken. The old man wanted to blast open a gap; just a small one would be enough for them to leave.
As time ticked by, that layer of energy still couldn’t be broken. The old man was sweating in anxiety. Donghua Holy Son gritted his teeth and directly crushed a jade token, activating the ancestral patriarch’s avatar projection.
A phantom appeared and threw a solid punch at the space above. Sensing that the energy there had been punched open into a hole, Donghua Holy Son and the old man exchanged a look and immediately flew toward it.
In the blink of an eye, the two reached the breach. Donghua Holy Son glanced back and said coldly, "Ye Qiu, whether you’re Ge Tian or someone else, your identity will be exposed soon enough. Just wait for the Heavenly Palace to make its move on you, haha..."
"Saint Heir, let’s go quickly, lest something change if we’re late!" the old man reminded.
Donghua Holy Son nodded and was about to step out of this sealed world.
But at that very moment, the breach actually began to heal. The two were shocked, when a clear, cold voice sounded above their heads: "The two of you don’t need to rush off so quickly. Weren’t you just trying to kill me earlier?"
Donghua Holy Son and the Supreme Saint old man both shuddered. They saw Ye Qiu standing above them, gazing down, a faint smile on his face.
