Looking back on his past life, he died at the hands of a true god, which seemed to be entirely justified, as the Emperor Realm and the true god were not even on the same level.
“You…” At the moment the Nine Emperors fell, an old man in the distance shouted, but his tone was full of helplessness. He was Man Jun, a demigod of the Minotaur race.
Although he had considered the consequences, he never imagined they would be so enormous. Nine Emperor Realm experts, plus the one from the Black Bull Kingdom who was killed in the Originium Mine explosion, and Manqi—eleven Emperor Realm experts were gone just like that.
There are only about forty Emperor-level warriors in the entire Minotaur race, and eleven of them have died in one go. You have to know that Emperor-level warriors are the real high-end combat force!
The true god of China looked into the distance, and the next second his domain instantly retracted, and a vigorous power emanated from his body.
"Those above the Emperor Realm are forbidden from participating in the war. If you dare to disobey again, I will not hesitate to slaughter you. There will be no next time." The True God of China said with extreme domineering power. This voice spread continuously in the Southwest Origin Gate World, resounding throughout the entire world.
"Alas!" Many powerful members of the Minotaur race shook their heads and sighed. They had all heard the words of the True God of China. They had not advised against doing this from the beginning, but Man Jun insisted on doing it anyway, causing the tragic deaths of eleven Emperor Realm experts.
"God of China." At this moment, Li Shanpo bowed to the True God of China.
"Hmm!" The True God of China nodded, then his brows furrowed suddenly.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Huaxia True God coldly shouted, his figure disappearing instantly, leaving everyone with puzzled expressions. Li Shanpo also frowned, but he didn't say anything, his gaze turning to the minotaur warriors.
"Your nine emperors have been killed, why don't you retreat immediately?" Li Shanpo's voice resounded throughout the battlefield. Upon hearing this, the minotaurs fled like stray dogs, disregarding their own safety.
Boom... Hahaha...
Just then, a loud bang erupted from Long Aotian's direction, who had been on a breakthrough in the distance, followed by a hearty laugh: "Today I, Long Aotian, become an Emperor, and a dual Emperor! Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at? You're laughing all the time." Red Dragon rolled his eyes and said indignantly.
"Red Dragon, this time the position of Senior Brother should be mine, right?" Long Aotian flew over from a distance and said to Red Dragon.
"Hmph! Get lost, how do you explain lying to me?" Chi Long asked Long Aotian. "If it weren't for Xiao Long's sudden appearance, I would have been minced meat."
"When did I lie to you?" Long Aotian denied directly. "I told you, I left a peak King Realm expert for you to kill. You're useless and can't beat him, so what are you babbling about here?"
"Go to hell with your peak King Realm!" Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Chilong flew into a rage. "Your peak King Realm cultivator's combat strength can reach the mid-Emperor Realm? Is your peak King Realm cultivator someone who shattered an Emperor Realm cultivator and lowered their cultivation level? Seriously."
“Of course! I’m at the peak of the King Realm, so how can I fight at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm? Tell me, isn’t that guy just at the peak of the King Realm right now? Isn’t he only at the Nine Cones?” Long Aotian asked.
"You..." Chi Long was suddenly speechless after being confronted by Long Aotian. Yes, Long Aotian's family really did have someone at the peak of the King Realm and someone at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm. Wasn't that Long Aotian? But the next second, Chi Long's eyes darted around. "You piece of trash, you can't beat that guy either, can you? I think you're not trying to break through because you can't beat him, but because you're hiding. You're such a good-for-nothing, Long Aotian."
Hearing Chi Long and Long Aotian's conversation, Gu Yu's head was buzzing, and he started arguing irrationally.
"Did you really blow up Black Bull Royal City?" Li Shanpo asked Gu Yu at this moment.
"Yes!" Gu Yu nodded.
At this moment, Long Aotian and Chilong stopped their continued entanglement and looked at Gu Yu.
Blowing up Black Bull Royal City is more explosive than killing nine Emperor Realm experts. Take the Minotaur race for example: an army of 700,000, 26 Emperor Realm experts, and one Emperor Realm expert who lowered his cultivation level, suffered heavy casualties but still couldn't take down Bull City. Yet Gu Yu blew up Black Bull Royal City all by himself. Tell me, isn't this news shocking?
If there were a hundred ancient universes, wouldn't the Minotaur race be finished? The six Minotaur kingdoms combined don't even have a hundred cities! Destroying one ancient universe would wipe out the Minotaur race.
"How did you get into the Originium Mine?" Li Shanpo asked. How to detonate the Originium Mine was a later matter. The key was how Gu Yu overcame numerous obstacles, entered the Royal City, and even entered a high-grade Originium Mine. That was what was truly astonishing.
If they could find a way to infiltrate the royal city and enter the Originium Mine, even if they didn't know any formations, they would have new types of nuclear bombs! A large number of these new nuclear bombs would definitely be enough to detonate the Originium Mine, at which point the Southwest Originium Gate would pose no threat to humanity.
“This…” Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, “I have a secret technique that can change one’s appearance and even one’s aura, but it is not suitable for others, it is only suitable for myself.”
"Alright!" Hearing Gu Yu's words, Li Shanpo nodded and said nothing more. He moved and went to treat the wounded.
He knew the secret techniques for changing one's appearance and concealing one's aura, but the secret techniques for altering one's aura were rare. Of course, they did exist, but altered auras could not escape the perception of people with high cultivation levels. Therefore, he believed Gu Yu's statement, after all, he also knew some of the mysterious aspects of Gu Yu.
Everyone knows about Gu Yu's slaying of the Demon Emperor.
"Gu Yu, you've done something extraordinary this time." At this moment, Long Aotian approached Gu Yu and said to him, "I was able to take Tu Niu City because of the True God, but you actually managed to blow up a royal city on your own. You should know that Tu Niu City is not even in the same league as a royal city. You have made a great contribution."
In truth, Gu Yu knew that he was able to blow up Tu Niu City not entirely because of himself, but because of his teacher, Tongtian Daoren, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Yes! Little Dragon, you've really done something amazing this time." Red Dragon also approached Gu Yu and said, "You went into the Originium Mine, didn't you bring any Originium out?"
"I brought it," Gu Yu said truthfully.
"How much did you bring? Do you have a thousand yuan?" Hearing Gu Yu's words, Chi Long's face lit up with joy. He rubbed his hands together, placed one hand on Gu Yu's shoulder, and rubbed his thumb and forefinger together with the other. "Little Dragon, we're both from the Dragon Group, but I joined earlier than you. You should call me brother. I'm a bit short on funds for cultivation, could you perhaps…"
"Uh!" Gu Yu was stunned. He didn't expect Chi Long to be so direct. Although Chi Long's hand seemed to be on his shoulder in a friendly manner, it was actually to prevent him from running away. It seemed that he had no choice but to bring something out today.
A thousand high-grade source stones? The Crimson Dragon is underestimating Gu Yu. Even if he can't find the high-grade source stones in the Black Bull Royal City's treasury, the five source soldiers and Ri Jiu alone have mined more than eight thousand source stones. Of course, this doesn't even include the source stones used for setting up the formation.
The Black Bull Royal City's treasury holds over 300,000 high-grade source stones, all currently stored in Gu Yu's source space. It also contains various rare and precious materials, which Gu Yu is too lazy to even look at.
“Brother Chilong, we’re not that close, I…” Gu Yu said, looking at Chilong, “Besides, other people need this more than you do right now.”
“Gu Yu is right, those who are injured need high-grade source stones more now.” Long Aotian reached out and removed the red dragon’s arm from Gu Yu’s shoulder, and then said.
"Long Aotian, you son of a bitch!" The red dragon felt a sharp pain in its arm that was resting on Gu Yu's shoulder. Long Aotian was already at the Emperor Realm, and he hadn't held back at all in that attack, which caused the red dragon to suffer greatly.
"Sorry, I just broke through, and I'm not very good at controlling my power. How about this, Gu Yu, give him a high-grade source stone!" Long Aotian said. It was obvious that he was doing it on purpose. Couldn't control his power? If that were the case, Gu Yu would probably be lying on the ground right now.
"Here you go." Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Gu Yu immediately took out a high-grade source stone from his source space and handed it directly to the Crimson Dragon.
"Long Aotian, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?" Chi Long's lips twitched as he looked at the single high-grade source stone.
“Gu Yu, it seems he thinks it’s too little and doesn’t want it. You can take it back!” Long Aotian said directly when he saw Chi Long’s expression.
"Okay." Gu Yu was about to take back the high-grade source stone, but the Crimson Dragon made a move in an instant and snatched the high-grade source stone into its hand.
"Even a small fly is still meat; we might as well take it," said the Crimson Dragon.
At this moment, Gu Yu looked at the human warriors. The total number of human defenders in Tu Niu City was more than 50,000, plus the students from the Dragon Division who participated in the Kunlun Origin Sect competition, which brought the total to more than 60,000.
At this time, less than 20,000 people were still alive, all of them wounded. Not one of them was unharmed, and everyone was injured. It was a truly tragic scene. However, compared to the Minotaur race, it was much better. Of the Minotaur army of 700,000, only more than 200,000 returned alive. More than 400,000 perished in the City of Minotaur Slaughter. At this time, the City of Minotaur Slaughter was truly worthy of its name!
"Alas! This is how war is." Long Aotian's gaze also fell upon the human soldiers and the corpses scattered all over the ground.
Humans were the victors in this battle, but this victory was built on countless corpses. Moreover, the city of Minotaur had lost its ability to defend itself. This battle exhausted all of Minotaur's reserves of firearms. The firearms played a crucial role in killing more than 400,000 Minotaur soldiers. Nearly 90% of the 400,000 Minotaur soldiers died from firearms.
Just then, countless figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Kong Chaoyang of the Kong family of Shengjing has come to support Tu Niu City."
"Xiang Bang of the Xiang family from Shengjing has come to support Tu Niu City."
"The Yang family of Yangtun from Shengjing have come to support Tu Niucheng."
"Ma Tiexin from the Ma family in Northeast China has come to support Tu Niu City."
"Guo Jun from the Guo family in the Northeast has come to support Tu Niu City."
"Ling Yuan of the Tianshan Sect has come to support Tu Niu City."
"Nanzhou, Mao Du, has come to support Tu Niu City."
"The Daoist sect, led by Li Xingyi, has come to support Tu Niu City."
"Zhang Cui from the Jade Maiden Sect has come to support Tu Niu City."
………………………
Several hundred people, with a powerful presence, the strongest among them being a peak King Realm cultivator who had reached the Quasi-Emperor level, and the weakest being a General Realm cultivator. If this force could arrive at Slaughter Bull City ahead of time, then the twenty-six King Realm cultivators of the Minotaur race would be no match for them.
"Damn, they've arrived at this time. They really know how to pick their timing. We can't even catch the shit while it's still hot," Red Dragon said upon seeing the group of reinforcements who had arrived.
These people don't show up when they're needed, but now that the fighting is over, they're finally here. Fine, you come if you want, but make such a big fuss, as if you've made some huge contribution.
“Red Dragon, we rushed here without stopping after hearing about the crisis in Slaughtering Bull City. We came with good intentions, yet you insult us like this.” Some people looked embarrassed upon hearing Red Dragon’s words, but others were not; instead, they were angry.
"What the hell?" Upon hearing his words, Chi Long immediately curled his lip, his face full of disdain. "I'm just insulting you, so what? Come and bite me? Saying you eat shit is an understatement. If I weren't injured right now, I would have sliced your skull off with one sword."
"You..." Upon hearing Chi Long's words, the man trembled with rage. Others glanced at him with a hint of schadenfreude. "You're really stubborn. Don't you know that guy is a scoundrel? Why are you arguing with a scoundrel? He can be shameless, but can you?"
"Let's treat the wounded first!" Long Aotian said, and he also began to treat the wounded.
Those who came to provide support, upon hearing Long Aotian's words, rushed into the battlefield to begin rescuing the wounded.
“Little Dragon, one high-grade source stone is really too little. Do you think you can…” Seeing that everyone had started to help the wounded, Red Dragon looked at Gu Yu again and rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
Gu Yu ignored him and looked at Huangfu Jun in the distance. Huangfu Jun was sitting cross-legged, absorbing source energy and recovering from his injuries.
At this moment, the source energy in this place can be said to be very dense. So many cultivators have died, and their source energy will leave their bodies and return to nature after death. Most importantly, the nine emperors of the Minotaur race also died here. Emperors not only have incredibly pure source energy, but they also have the aura of an emperor.
The aura of an emperor is of little use to those with low cultivation levels, as they cannot absorb or refine it, nor can they withstand it. However, it is a valuable asset to those at the peak of the King Realm, because they are not far from reaching the Emperor Realm.
Gu Yu moved and flew towards Huangfu Jun.
“Senior, I have something here that can greatly help your injuries.” Gu Yu said to Huangfu Jun. “If you recover with this and absorb the aura of the emperor, although your cultivation may not break through this time, your combat power can definitely reach the quasi-emperor level.”
"Really?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Huangfu Jun opened his eyes and asked excitedly. If any other second-tier cultivator said this, Huangfu Jun would immediately leave them far behind. What does a second-tier cultivator know? But Gu Yu is different. He blew up Black Bull Royal City. This second-tier cultivator is even more powerful than a peak Emperor Realm cultivator.
"Hmm." Gu Yu nodded, then took out a jet-black wooden branch, which looked like a deer antler, but was as black as charcoal and emitted a faint fragrance.
When Huangfu Jun saw this thing, his expression changed drastically. Then, when he smelled the fragrance, his pupils dilated, and even the pain from his injuries disappeared.
"Is this Black Jade Broken Wood?" Huangfu Jun asked, not entirely certain.
"Yes! It can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, which will be of great help to your injuries," Gu Yu nodded and said, "especially your arm."
Huangfu Jun's right arm was almost completely broken, with the bone and flesh separated. Even with Huangfu Jun's peak King Realm cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover from such an injury.
"This thing is too precious." Huangfu Jun's eyes were full of longing. Although he wanted it, this thing was a holy medicine for healing, extremely rare, and usually only mentioned in records.
“Senior, you suffered such serious injuries while protecting Tu Niu City, you should use this.” Gu Yu said earnestly. Although the Black Jade Broken Wood was extremely precious, its true purpose was to heal wounds, which Huangfu Jun needed right now. Moreover, Gu Yu had another one in his source space, so it wasn’t the only one.
“This…” Huangfu Jun hesitated for a moment, but he still took the black jade broken wood. He really needed it. “Gu Yu, I, Huangfu Jun, will remember this favor. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word.”
"Senior, you flatter me." Gu Yu said and left immediately. There were still many people on the battlefield who needed his help. His source space was not empty at the moment, but contained countless treasures. It was probably more than the treasures of the four great families of the Holy Capital combined.
Contribution:
Talent: 108
Combat strength: 40 elephants
Triple boost: (Contribution points once, lasting three minutes)
Source Qi: (1 wisp for every 10 contribution points)
Source space: 150 cubic meters (1 cubic meter for every 1000 contribution points)
Source Soldier: (One contributor, maximum 10)
Gu Yu was indeed excited as his contribution points increased. When he gave the Crimson Dragon the high-grade source stone, he found that his contribution points had increased by 10,000. Now, after giving the Black Jade Broken Wood to Huangfu Jun, his contribution points had increased by another 100,000.
This was a huge boon for Gu Yu. His contribution points were decreasing, and the contribution points he consumed in each battle were gradually increasing, making him hesitant to use them anymore.
Moreover, he didn't have the chance to save anyone. The key point is that saving one person only gives 250 contribution points, which is simply not enough.
But now he doesn't have to worry anymore. Giving someone a high-grade source stone is worth 10,000 contribution points. Ten stones would be 100,000, 1,000 would be 10 million, and 10,000 would be 100 million. Gu Yu now has more than 300,000 high-grade source stones, which is 3 billion contribution points. Thinking of this, Gu Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
