Ignoring the arrogant words and sarcastic attitude of the Heavenly Sword Immortal, Gu Changsheng paid him no mind, for there was no need to argue with a dead man. However, Li Beifei couldn't resist popping his head out and saying to the Heavenly Sword Immortal's incarnation, "Old geezer, you're so impressive, putting on airs in front of my master. If you can withstand even one move, I, Li Beifei, will take your surname!"
Before the Heavenly Sword Immortal's incarnation could react, the White Tiger Demon Emperor chuckled. Little Fei Fei's words were a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.
But as soon as Li Beifei spoke, Gu Changsheng turned around and kicked him in the backside.
"How dare you question your master's strength? You deserve it!" Gu Changsheng said with a stern face.
Li Beifei clutched his backside, looking at Gu Changsheng with resentment, then turned to the White Tiger Demon Emperor, saying in a soft voice, "Aunt Bai, look, Master is always bullying me!"
"You... enough!" The Heavenly Sword Immortal's incarnation's face was incredibly gloomy. These people were being so presumptuous in front of him, and that kid even said he couldn't withstand his master's one move? Arrogant, too arrogant.
"Indeed, it's enough. You're wasting the bit of energy I expended."
As Gu Changsheng spoke, a substantial sword intent appeared before him.
"This sword is called 'Slaying Immortal,' a sword intent comprehended by a friend of mine thirty thousand years ago before his death!"
As Gu Changsheng spoke, Li Beifei behind him stopped rubbing his backside and stared intently at the sword intent before Gu Changsheng. Celestial Pivot, Celestial Rotating Jade, Celestial Balancing Scale, Celestial Weight, Jade Balance, Celestial Opener, Shimmering Light, Severing Path, and Severing Emperor were all sword techniques recorded in his Seven Stars Sword Art. But the Slaying Immortal sword intent before him evoked a sense of familiarity from the depths of his soul, as if this sword intent was created for him.
Thirty thousand years ago, that must have been referring to Sword Emperor Li Beichen.
After the Slaying Immortal sword intent appeared, the Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation's arrogant expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of recognition.
"This sword intent is very strong. I can feel the indomitable will within it." The Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation was calm at this moment. He was a Sword Dao Immortal, perhaps the strongest in the myriad realms. He had spent his entire life pursuing the pinnacle of the sword, and seeing this sword intent that made his eyes light up, he did not hold back his praise, even though they were enemies. He was sincere towards the sword!
It was a pity that if he were facing someone other than the Human Saint Emperor, his resurrection plan might have succeeded today.
"Indomitable will, you say? That's not wrong." Gu Changsheng recalled the scene of Li Beichen choosing to die rather than give up on ascending to immortality. Compared to him, the Heavenly Sword Immortal was his opposite, resorting to any means for resurrection.
Gu Changsheng couldn't judge who was right or wrong between Li Beichen and the Heavenly Sword Immortal. However, he liked people like Li Beichen. Otherwise, among so many Human Emperors in the Mortal Realm, why was Li Beichen the only one who became his friend?
"Are you saying that the bit of energy you wasted was to condense this sword intent that doesn't belong to you?" the Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation asked.
Gu Changsheng simply smiled and didn't answer.
"Forget it. Since you've brought out a sword intent that excites me, I'll let you die without pain."
After speaking, a wisp of sword intent floated before the Heavenly Sword Immortal's incarnation, a wisp that exuded an aura of looking down upon all the heavens.
"This sword is called Heavenly Sword!"
The incarnation said indifferently. His true self was revered as the Heavenly Sword Immortal not because he was the master of the Heavenly Sword Great World, but because his sword dao acted on behalf of the heavens, hence Heavenly Sword. The Heavenly Sword Great World was also named after him.
"Acting on behalf of the heavens?"
Gu Changsheng's tone was calm, but within that calmness, there was a hint of disdain.
If he acted on behalf of the heavens, he should obey the will of heaven. But now, the Heavenly Sword Immortal wanted to defy heaven and be reborn. In Gu Changsheng's view, he had deviated from the sword dao he had adhered to his entire life, so he disdained him.
"Hmph!"
The Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation snorted coldly, understanding Gu Changsheng's meaning, but he didn't refute it.
"Die!"
The incarnation shouted softly, and a sword light stretched ninety thousand miles, slashing towards Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng simply said softly, "Watch carefully!"
Li Beifei and the Old Six within him were both staring intently.
In fact, Old Six didn't need to be so nervous. However, after Gu Changsheng said that, he became nervous. Throughout the three thousand Chaos Worlds, even controllers above the Dao Breaker realm could see some details, but Gu Changsheng, in his eyes, was nothing but a mystery.
Gu Changsheng told him to watch carefully, how could he not be nervous?
Could he be using power beyond everything? Old Six thought, but Gu Changsheng moved.
He didn't use power beyond the Immortal King realm, and even the power he used was less than the Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation's current strength. However, the Slaying Immortal sword intent transformed into a three-foot-long sword, directly piercing towards the Heavenly Sword Immortal, instantly breaking through his Heavenly Sword and then entering his brow.
The Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation's aura stagnated, feeling the long-lost pain from his brow, and he was puzzled.
"How is this possible?" What puzzled him wasn't that his Heavenly Sword was broken by Slaying Immortal, but the strength of the user of Slaying Immortal.
"My apologies!"
Gu Changsheng said awkwardly, "Cough cough, I forgot, I could suppress True Immortals when I was a Supreme, and I could crush Immortal Kings when I was a True Immortal. I should have suppressed my cultivation to True Immortal just now. It's been too long since I used such low-level power, I kind of forgot."
"..." Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation.
"Who exactly are you?" This was the second time he asked Gu Changsheng, but compared to the first time, he was filled with seriousness.
"People over there call me the Human Saint Emperor, or the Changsheng Great Emperor!" Gu Changsheng said.
"Great Emperor?" The Heavenly Sword Immortal incarnation was stunned, then his face was filled with bitterness. You're an Immortal Emperor, why bother getting involved in my little Immortal Venerable's affairs? Aren't you just bullying people?
Obviously, upon hearing the words Great Emperor, he thought Gu Changsheng was a terrifying Immortal Emperor. An Immortal King was like an ant in front of an Immortal Venerable, and an Immortal Venerable was not even as good as an ant in front of an Immortal Emperor. That's why the Heavenly Sword Immortal risked his life three million years ago to break through the shackles of the Immortal Emperor.
"Actually, you misunderstood, I'm not an Immortal Emperor!"
Gu Changsheng said.
"Then what realm are you in?" the incarnation asked.
"I don't know!" Gu Changsheng replied.
"..."
"Forget it, it's fate! I have a request, perhaps you would listen." the incarnation said.
"Actually, you don't have to say it, I know. You want my disciple to inherit your legacy. Even if you didn't say it, I would have snatched the inheritance anyway. But since you're so sensible and took the initiative to mention it, I don't have to bother snatching it." Gu Changsheng directly said what the incarnation wanted to say.
"..." incarnation. He discovered that the number of times he felt speechless today was more than the total of all previous years.
"Are you really a powerhouse beyond the Immortal Emperor?" the incarnation finally asked, his figure becoming more and more illusory. That sword just now had completely severed his life force.
"What do you think?" Gu Changsheng threw the question back.
"Your personality doesn't seem like it!" the incarnation said.
"Who said that powerhouses have to be aloof like icebergs? Can't I be down-to-earth and approachable?" Gu Changsheng laughed.
Alright, you're the boss, you say so.
