Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1429: The Earth Realm (5): Those who wish to be Destroyed by Heaven,
As Long Zhengyu fell from the sky, the five monster beasts that had the upper hand in battle swarmed forward to devour him.
The disciples of Tang Sect struggled to hold back the group of monster monsters shouted in fear when they saw Long Zhengyu was about to be eaten and their eyes were filled with despair.
The next moment, the five peak stage Great Ascension monster disappeared into thin air, as if it was an illusion and had never existed for this long. The monster monsters that had swarmed the hills and trampled on the Tang Sect disciples also faded from existence.
After barely escaping the death gate, the Tang Sect disciples looked around with fear still lingering in their minds. As they tried to understand how they had managed to survive the ordeal, the disciples noticed that Tang Xiu was approaching them. They greeted Tang Xiu emotionally and sat down cross-legged to recuperate while he returned their greetings.
“Mr Lin, who gave you the courage to set your sights on the Great Tang Empire?” Tang Xiu, after taking care of the monster beast and calming the Tang Sect disciples, turned to question Duanmu Lin in a rude voice.
Duanmu Li was really thinking of escaping while Tang Xiu greeted the disciples of the Tang Sect. However, she knew Tang Xiu's personality very well. Since he had to face Tang Xiu's pursuit even if he managed to escape from this pocket world, he decided that he might as well face Tang Xiu this time as well.
“Tang Xiu, you spoke so loudly and proudly about the Great Tang Empire, yet do you even hold a country in your heart?” Duanmu Lin calmed himself down and replied loudly with his question.
“Muan Lin, you are too naive. The things I've done for the country, you should know better than I do. If I did not hold the country in my heart, would the country be as prosperous as it is now? Will it lead the world's technological, cultural and economic trends as the strongest country? ” Tang Xiu gave a look full of irony to Duanmu Lin as if he was talking to a retarded person.
“Tang Xiu, the benefit you bring to this country is just a grain of sand that sneaks into your palm! The Great Tang Empire spent and occupied so many of the country's resources, and with them, your empire has developed and trained a powerful army. Just the fact that the Great Tang Empire is a threat to the country is a good reason to have you die thousands of times! ” Duanmu Lin, triggered by Tang Xiu's gaze, denounced him in a straight tone.
“If you're going to push a silly argument down my throat, I don't understand why I should argue with you again.” Hearing Duanmu Lin's seemingly honorable words, a sense of disgust emerged from within him. Sighing, he twisted and closed his palm, then a shining stone with rainbow colors flew from Duanmu Lin and landed safely on Tang Xiu's palm.
Duanmu Lin was celebrating a verbal victory over Tang Xiu when he suddenly realized that the World Core in his Storage Ring appeared in the hands of his enemy. His expression turned quickly for the worse, the speech he had prepared earlier was now stuck in his throat.
Storage Ring owned can not be opened by anyone other than the owner. Others can only open the ring if the owner has died and the soul imprint has been removed.
However, he was healthy and alive, nor were there any signs of abnormalities on the soul imprint in his ring. Having the most valuable item hidden in his ring stolen by Tang Xiu, Duanmu Lin was not only nervous about losing the World's Core, but he was also afraid of Tang Xiu's power.
However, the thing he feared more was that he was the only one who knew of the existence of the World Core other than Ji Mu. However, the first thing Tang Xiu did was to take it from his ring. This made him wonder if Tang Xiu knew what he had done to Ji Mu.
“Muan Lin, will you continue your acting?” Noticing the nervous expression and emotion fluttering on her face, Tang Xiu could not help but smile. “Presenting yourself as a hero of justice all the time, aren't you tired? Ji Mu had already told me everything and there were no outsiders here, so you don't need to act anymore. ”
“Restore, restore World Core!” Duanmu Lin was still struggling whether to continue performing his actions or just become hostile, but he immediately made up his mind as soon as he heard what Tang Xiu said. His expression quickly turned into a sinister expression.
As Duanmu Lin spoke, he flicked his arm to reveal the barrel of a golden rifle and pointed it at Tang Xiu.
“Tang Xiu, this is an energy gun that took thirty years to build the secret headquarters of Taklamakan Desert. Just one shot was enough to destroy the pocket world. If you don't want to die, you better give up the World Core. ”
“Will you let me go if I return it to you?” Sensing the destructive power within the energy gun, Tang Xiu looked worried and asked with a tense expression.
“The essence of the World is mine, to begin with, it is natural for you to return it to me. Also, give me your storage ring along with all the funds and resources that the Great Tang Empire has. Otherwise, I will not only end your life but also destroy the Great Tang Empire as well. ” Duanmu Lin started laughing looking at Tang Xiu's troubled face.
“Actually, I have to thank you. If you don't hand over the technology from the three-star remnants to the country, we are unlikely to find weapons of destruction of this world. Now that our country has such a weapon, the whole world will kneel before the power of our weapons. Unfortunately, Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang left too soon, otherwise, I will give them each chance for all the problems they caused for the Special Ability Bureau.
“Tang Xiu, I'm sure you never expected us to make an energy gun that is equivalent to a powerful expert weapon from the Eternal World, right? No matter how hard and fast you cultivate, no matter how strong you are, just one shot I need to turn you into dust.
“For a few years after you ascended, the Great Tang Empire almost ruled the country. All of you continue to show your superiority to the government, continue to show off your strength in front of the Special Ability Bureau, pressuring us until we have no way to retaliate. But now, with the energy gun, we will slowly obliterate all cultivators so that only China-specific-capable users remain. We are the true enforcers of the world. ”
…
Perhaps he had suppressed his emotions and restrained himself for too long, Duanmu Lin threw away his disguise and revealed all his inner thoughts. He did not hold back his words at all, and a crazy smile crept on his face as well.
“Those who want to be destroyed by heaven, first they make crazy.” Tang Xiu simply sneered and waved his hand. The energy gun in Duanmu Lin's hand was lost without a trace, along with his cultivation and special abilities.
If it was someone else, the energy gun might indeed scare them, and even a peak stage Crossing Tribulation expert might have given up under his threat.
However, the twelve zodiacal jade carvings within his body were suddenly activated when he had become a god and the heavenly laws of Earth had been under his full control, so that he could make or break anything on Earth with just one thought, and this spelled tragedy for Duanmu Lin.
It didn't take long before Duanmu Lin realized the abnormality. One day he rambles about his plan to destroy the world, the next moment his energy gun can't be found.
Shocked, Duanmu Lin tried to pull out another energy gun from his Storage Ring in a hurry only to realize that he could no longer access it, almost as if the gun had turned into a decorative ring. He then discovered that his entire cultivation base had disappeared along with his special abilities.
“No, no, no, this is not real, I must be dreaming!” When Duanmu Lin realized that he had suddenly aged for several decades in a matter of seconds and was now nothing more than an ordinary old man who had half a foot inside his coffin, he finally knew what the true feeling of terror was like.
Duanmu Lin tried everything he could to open the Storage Ring. He then tried to circulate the True Essence Energy within his body. Finally, he tried to use his special ability.
Duanmu Lin repeated this action several times but failed at every opportunity, and half an hour later, he was completely drenched in sweat as if he had been dipped in water and his face turned deathly pale.
During the entire process, Tang Xiu did not say a word. He only saw Duanmu Lin's desperate struggle, his eyes filled with ridicule.
The Tang Sect disciples had been frightened by Duanmu Lin's energy gun. Coupled with his crazy speech on how he was going to destroy the world, the disciples had been terrified and trembled.
However, after witnessing Duanmu Lin's change, the Tang Sect disciples couldn't help but cheer. As they looked down on him with disdain, they also directed their excited gazes at Tang Xiu.
Although they did not know how Tang Xiu did it, they were confident that he was responsible for the change.
“Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laid my hands on Ji Mu, I shouldn't have set my sights on the Great Tang Empire. Please, I beg you, return my cultivation to me. I will serve you and the Great Tang Empire faithfully for all eternity.
“Your Highness, this country believes deeply and depends on me now. If you forgive me, I will find a way to let the people of the Great Tang Empire dominate the political stage in the country. The entire country would belong to the Great Tang Empire. ”
…
When Duanmu Lin finally understood that all his efforts and struggles were in vain, he quickly found out what the underlying problem was. She did not hesitate to bow down and plead Tang Xiu with tears and snot all over her face.
“Sorry, the Great Tang Empire doesn't need a back-piercing person like you, nor do I think the country needs an unfaithful, unjust, unkind, and unfilial person like you. I gave you a chance once, but you failed to take advantage of it. ” Tang Xiu sighed, then pointed his finger at Duanmu Lin.
Hearing Tang Xiu's reply, Duanmu Lin was filled with pain. He was still trying to find words to save his own life when he saw Tang Xiu pointing his finger at him and then, Duanmu Lin was speechless no more, because his world had faded into darkness.
