Chapter 66 Emperor VS Taizu
At the entrance of the hall, the right prime minister really walked in, looking at Zhou An above with a gloomy expression.
Zhou An let the queen sit on top and he walked down. All the officials stepped back to both sides and looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Ancestor, you and I are both innate cultivators. You use the corpse of the Right Prime Minister as your clone. Do you really want to be my subject and share my worries?" Zhou An laughed.
The Right Prime Minister did not respond and walked to the front. All the ministers beside him made way. The leaders of his faction wanted to complain to him, but found that they could not get close as they were blocked by a breath.
Zhou An stood in front of the right prime minister and said in an arrogant manner: "Even if you can deceive their eyes and all the ministers and the families behind them support you, what does it matter? If all the families behind them unite, I can still destroy them with a flip of my hand, but it will take more time.
Back then, you gave up the throne and went to seek immortality. Wasn't it because you realized that no matter how great the power is, as long as one is not innate, he is ultimately just an ordinary mortal and can be destroyed by immortals at will?
If the immortal cultivators did not want to be involved in too much karma, they could have a flying sword behead the so-called emperor from a hundred miles away. The rise and fall of a dynasty was nothing more than a play in the eyes of the immortal cultivators.
If you win the battle between us, everything I have will be yours, and you will be the emperor of the Qianyuan Empire from now on.
If I win, I will give you a grand funeral and send you to the imperial mausoleum. You will leave behind all the information and treasures you have collected over the years. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Zhou An's words shocked the ministers. Is this really the former deposed emperor? One person suppressing the big families in the country is something they dare not even think about.
Moreover, everyone has witnessed the strength of Emperor Taizu before. It is completely a pipe dream for the deposed emperor to dare to confront Emperor Taizu head-on. But at the moment, Zhou An does not seem like a fool.
Shangguan Rong thought about the changes that had taken place in the palace during this period of time. The elixir that Zhou An gave her could allow her to reach the third level of the innate realm in one go, so it should be nothing for him to surpass the third level of the innate realm.
If the father in front of him is really Taizu, then everything that happened before was definitely not done by Taizu. The only possibility is that Zhou An was impersonating Taizu.
After realizing this, Shangguan Rong opened her mouth wide. Shocked was no longer enough to describe her feelings at the moment.
"Last time you had to join forces with the King of Ten Thousand Demons, Hua Wu Yue and the fairy-level Kong Ling Tu to defeat me. Are you sure it's a one-on-one this time?" Taizu showed a look of surprise, but there was some admiration and joy in his eyes.
He originally planned to use the Right Prime Minister as a clone to cause chaos in the court and prevent Zhou An from caring about the battle between good and evil. After all, the combination of the King of Ten Thousand Demons, Hua Wu Yue and Zhou An was enough to make him wary and dare not force his way through.
"Sir, don't joke." Zhou An looked at him calmly and said.
"Okay, as my descendant, you are very courageous, and it is rare to have achieved what you have today." Taizu had no reason to refuse. This was the best opportunity. Otherwise, it would not be difficult to break the team of Zhou An, Hua Wu Yue, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons, not to mention the four immortals with unfathomable strength.
Zhou An stretched out his hand, and Taizu's mask and a set of Qianyuan Dragon Armor appeared. He casually threw them in front of Taizu and said, "Return the items to their original owners. This clone of Right Prime Minister cannot exert your strength. I am waiting for you at Kaiyuan Square."
Taizu looked at the armor and mask he had used to conquer his country, snorted, and black gas rushed out of the right prime minister's body, wrapped around the Qianyuan Dragon Armor and flew out of the hall.
"Queen, you are here to bury the Right Prime Minister's body." Zhou An turned into a stream of light and flew out.
"Yes." Shangguan Rong saluted, this time particularly respectful, with a hint of awe in her eyes.
The ministers were so frightened that they were sweating coldly. When they saw Zhou An flying away, they hurriedly ran out to see. If Zhou An really defeated Emperor Taizu, then what they had just done would really bring disaster to themselves and their families.
Everyone secretly prayed for Emperor Taizu to win. After all, most of the ancestors of the families here were the ones who followed Taizu to build this empire.
Cai Xianfa stood on the balcony in front of the main hall, his eyes shining with excitement and excitement. If Zhou An could win, he would be the first emperor in history as an innate cultivator. If he worked under such an emperor and did a good job, he would surely be remembered for generations.
Zhou Anfei landed in the middle of Kaiyuan Square and ordered all the guards to withdraw to the periphery, leaving him alone in the entire wide square.
While everyone was thinking about their own things, a ball of black gas flew over from the sky and landed ten meters in front of Zhou An. The body of Taizu was revealed, wearing Qianyuan armor.
At the same time, two streams of light flew over from the tower of Kaiyuan Gate, and two people wearing silver and gold cloaks appeared, both wearing masks.
At the same time, on the roof of Qianyuan Hall, Hua Wu Yue and the King of Ten Thousand Demons flew down, with four fairies beside them.
Taizu looked at the mask in his hand, then looked at Zhou An and said, "Do you mind showing the two Taoist friends around?"
"Of course, it's just right for them to help us witness." After Zhou An finished speaking, the Emperor's Sword flew out and turned into a red dragon hovering above him.
Taizu put on a mask and pointed with his right hand. A ray of starlight flew out and then turned into meteors all over the sky, rushing towards Zhou An from all directions.
The red dragon swooped down, and its hundred-meter-long body circled around Zhou An, blocking all the incoming meteors. The burst of starlight almost engulfed the red dragon.
However, it can be clearly seen from a distance that although the starlight is dense, it cannot shake the red dragon in the slightest.
"The Star Sword, it seems that the Seven Treasures of Heaven are really in your hands. One of those two must be the leader of Tian Chanzi." Zhou An said.
“If you still have time to chat, I’ll let you see the true power of the Star Sword.” Taizu flew into the sky, and millions of starlight scattered and floated above the square, like a starry sky.
Then millions of rays of light fell from the sky, covering the entire square.
This kind of attack made the ministers and the surrounding guards feel terrified. How could a human being resist this? This attack could destroy an army of 100,000 in just a few breaths.
The queen was so nervous that her nails dug into her flesh without her realizing it. She knew that she and Zhou An were one, and that they would prosper together and suffer together.
Zhou An formed seals with his hands and performed the Emperor's Sword Technique. A red dragon flew up, emitting light that spread out and turned into thousands of several-meter-long dragon-shaped sword lights dancing in the air.
The falling starlight was blocked by the dragons, and the Kaiyuan Square, which was built by Taizu himself, was cut into countless small pieces like a cake.
Both sides were wielding immortal swords. Zhou An comprehended the Tiandao sword technique and completely integrated the Emperor's sword technique with the sword-controlling technique. Taizu also used the Tiandao sword technique, and the two were evenly matched.
The battle between immortal treasures in the imperial palace could be seen by everyone in Qianjing. After all, with the sky full of stars and thousands of dragons flying, it was impossible for anyone except a blind person not to see it.
There are many cultivators in Qianjing now, and the fight between immortal treasures is rarely seen, so they all flew to the roof to watch.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Zhou An smiled and suddenly released his magical pupils, his eyes shining with purple light. Taizu had not expected that humans would have the top bloodline abilities in the demon world, but when he saw his eyes, his own eyes also emitted purple light.
When he came back to his senses from his trance, he saw the scene of himself kneeling outside the gate of Zhengyi Temple.
Seeing this, the devil in Taizu's heart surged out. This was the deepest pain in his heart. Demonic energy began to appear in his body and bloodshot appeared in his eyes.
In addition to the Zhengyi Sect, there are also top-level sects such as the Jianzong, Tiandao Sect, and Wanfa Sect. He had kneeled before almost all the sects within the Qianyuan Empire, but none of them took him in. They all closed their doors to him.
Thinking of the flattering words these cultivators had said when they rebelled against the previous dynasty, all the disciples from the immortal sects came down the mountain to help.
When the world is at peace, these people immediately change their attitude and avoid us.
The anger and hatred caused the evil within his body to erupt completely.
In reality, Taizu's body was filled with monstrous demonic energy and a long horn grew on his forehead. The light of the Star Sword suddenly dimmed. The immortal sword has a spirit, and the more it is connected with its master, the stronger its power will be.
Now that Taizu has suddenly turned into a demon, the Star Sword, not only cannot match him, it has even begun to resist Taizu's control.
Zhou An had already seen this point a long time ago. After his previous contact with Demon Lord Zihe and having been possessed by a demon himself, he had a much deeper understanding of demons than other cultivators.
Taizu's behavior just now did not seem like he was possessed by a demon at all, so he guessed that some kind of magic must have been used to suppress the demonic energy.
So he used the magical power of the spiritual world of the Spirit Demon Eye to make Taizu relive his most painful memories and stimulate his evil nature.
"Not good! His evil nature is getting stronger and stronger." The two people on the Kaiyuan Gate tower were shocked when they saw this scene.
"Do you want to take action?" asked the man in silver robe.
"It's too late. With those four fairies, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and Hua Wu Yue around, we can't get close easily. If we attack rashly, we might fall into their trap. Those four fairies are likely to be the four treasures of the Kong Ling Immortal Mansion back then. Once the Kong Ling Diagram is involved, and we've lost the Void Wheel, it will be difficult for us to get out."
The man in the golden robe sighed, looked at Taizu who had been completely possessed by the devil, and shook his head helplessly.
Zhou An was slightly disappointed when he saw that the two men did not make a move. Then, while the power of the Star Sword was greatly reduced, he controlled the Emperor Sword to break through the starlight, and a red dragon sword light pierced through Taizu's body.
Taizu spat out a mouthful of blood and howled to the sky. Black gas rushed out of his wounds and wrapped around his body. He truly turned into a demon. The Qianyuan Dragon Armor he was wearing burst and shattered, and the mask also cracked and fell to the ground.
He turned into a man nearly five meters tall, his whole body turned black, he had a pair of horns on his head that were longer than his head, his eyes were red, and the monstrous demonic energy caused dark clouds to appear in the sky, making it gloomy and depressing.
Seeing this scene, everyone watching around gasped in fear. Even cultivators would never dare to fight against a real demon. Only the most powerful people in the world could fight against it.
