Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 106

“Who is it?” the Gu family’s leader demanded, his voice stern as he faced the unknown threat. A vast and oppressive aura surged forth, enveloping the entire world.

Hum.

No response came, only the crisp sound of a sword’s hum echoing through the air. A streak of white light dashed across the sky, effortlessly slicing through the void as if it were mere cloth, leaving a thousand-mile-long crack in the heavens.

It was as if the entire sky was torn apart, with divine lights bursting forth like a splendid ribbon, each ray more dazzling than the sun itself.

A simple yet majestic emperor sword hovered in the sky, its head raised high, resonating with the heavens and shaking the ages. It was as if the sword had pierced through the river of time itself, heralding the arrival of a supreme emperor, unmatched in combat and unshakable by anyone.

The Qin Emperor Sword.

The hearts of the many strong members of the Gu family trembled, their faces turning pale. This supreme weapon of the Great Qin Dynasty was not unfamiliar to them. Nor was it to any other immortal power.

This sword, known as the strongest in the Nine Heavens Realm for offense, was once wielded by the Ancestral Dragon of Great Qin. It swept through forbidden zones, suppressed foreign clans, and no one dared to defy or disrespect it.

This supreme weapon of offense was unparalleled. Through the long years, even when the Great Qin Dynasty faced decline, ancient imperial clans with their own Emperor weapons attempted to annihilate the Great Qin Dynasty but were forcefully repelled by the Qin Emperor Sword.

After that battle, the sword’s ferocity became renowned throughout the Nine Heavens Realm, hailed as the unparalleled first Emperor Weapon.

No one, no force dared to confront the Qin Emperor Sword head-on. Now, as it hung in the sky, although its sword light was faint, it was like a blade hanging over their necks, rendering them immobile.

“The Great Qin Emperor, we bear no grudge against you. Why do you hang the Emperor Sword here today? Could it be that you really think our clan is so easily bullied?” A Gu family elder spoke, his face flushed with indignation and anger.

The hanging of the Emperor Sword at their gate was a blatant threat and a trampling of their dignity.

“Colluding with the Heavenly Demons, betraying the human race! How dare you say you have no feud with us?”

“A million years ago, our human ancestors made a vow that anyone who colludes with the Heavenly Demons would become the public enemy of the human race, to be condemned by all strong humans!”

The Great Qin Emperor emerged from the void, his figure imposing, his robe fluttering, exuding an aura like an emperor descending into the world. His presence was overwhelming, like the sun in the sky, akin to a deity from myths.

“Defamation!” the Gu family refused to admit their collusion.

“Why bother being so obstinate! Even I am not as stubborn as you!” The Pure Yang Holy Master, accompanied by the people of the Pure Yang Holy Land, slowly emerged, looking down upon them with a cold voice.

Behind them hung an ancient cauldron. The Pure Yang Cauldron of the Pure Yang Holy Land, another Emperor weapon!

“The Pure Yang Holy Land!” The Gu family leader was not surprised by their appearance. After all, the Pure Yang Holy Land and the Primordial Holy Land were as close as siblings.

“Since the Pure Yang Holy Land has arrived! Why hasn’t the Primordial Holy Land appeared yet!” A high-ranking member of the Gu family scoffed coldly. The presence of these two powers implied the inevitable involvement of the Primordial Holy Land.

“Do you acknowledge your sins?” Dongfang Mingyue, along with a host of strong figures, appeared gradually.

At the forefront stood Mu Jianxue and Dongfang Mingyue, their divine presence overshadowing all. Simply standing there, they became the brightest light between heaven and earth, with an aura transcending all, as if not of this world.

Above the heads of the Primordial Holy Land’s people hung a bronze-colored divine axe. Unlike the other two Emperor Weapons, the axe emitted no bright light or overwhelming aura.

It appeared slightly ancient, without any remarkable features. If placed in the outside world, it might not even attract a second glance from cultivators, let alone be picked up and cherished.

But those present were no ordinary individuals. How could they not recognize the identity of this divine axe? The Primordial Divine Axe, the Emperor weapon of the Great Primordial Emperor.

The three Emperor Weapons dominated the sky, their presence completely sealing off the surrounding void. This seal was far more terrifying than any formation of the Heavenly Demons of the past.

Back then, a Emperor weapon could break through the formation. But now, surpassing the might of three Emperor weapons was required to do so.

With the three Emperor Weapons in formation, the Gu family’s path of retreat was utterly sealed, leaving them trapped like a turtle in a jar.

“Three Emperor Weapons!”

Most of the Gu family were petrified. Whether they were ordinary disciples or powerful figures, all were stunned. With one Emperor Weapon, there was a chance. With two, hope was faint. With three, there was no chance at all.

Moreover, three great powers had converged – the Great Qin Dynasty, the Pure Yang Holy Land, and the Primordial Holy Land. Each an immortal power, formidable and unfathomable. Now, with all three gathered, the Gu family’s fate was sealed.

This was a decision made by the three forces: to utterly annihilate the Gu family and divide it.

“If you destroy us today, have you considered the consequences?” the Gu family’s leader spoke with a gleam in his eyes, attempting to use the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm as leverage, trying to pressure the three forces into leaving.

But his words only met with strange looks from the crowd.

The Pure Yang Holy Master, looking at the Gu family’s leader with disbelief, said, “I used to think you were prideful, but now I see you’re utterly hypocritical and shameless!”

“How can you say such things without flinching? When you joined forces with the Heavenly Demons to attack the Primordial Holy Land, why didn’t you think of this?”

“And do you really expect us to believe that after the betrayal of the human race, you would stand with us against the Heavenly Demons once the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm is unsealed?”

“Once it’s unsealed, you would be the first to turn into the Heavenly Demons’ blade against the human race! Keeping a calamity like you would be a greater loss to the human race!”

The Great Qin Emperor spoke up, “I used to think the people of Pure Yang Holy Land were a bit shameless, but you surpass them! Why be so obstinate when death is imminent? If you truly think you are of help to the human race, you might as well take your own life, to spare us the effort.”

The Gu family’s leader firmly refused, “Impossible! If you wish to annihilate my clan, you’ll have to step over my dead body! Moreover, my clan is not composed of weaklings; in the past, we had emperors who protected the lives in the Nine Heavens Realm! If you are so determined, then let us battle!”

As he spoke, within a building in the depths, a pagoda burst open, and a streak of cold light shot out. It was a radiant long knife, also a Emperor weapon of the Gu family. Now, under the oppression of three supreme weapons, if they did not awaken their own Emperor weapon, they would have no chance at all.

“Cease!” Just as everyone was preparing for battle, an elder in a grey and white Daoist robe slowly walked out and greeted everyone, “I am Gu Yuan, does anyone recognize me?”

Gu Yuan, once a powerful figure of the Gu family and a supreme genius who dominated the Nine Heavens Realm, but that was tens of thousands of years ago.

“You’re wasting your breath, Gu Yuan,” Dongfang Mingyue interjected. “The Gu family is doomed today, and no one can save it! Don’t even think about sacrificing others to seek a path of survival for the Gu family!”

“The reason the Gu family colluded with the Heavenly Demons is all because of you! You are the root of all this. If you had not succumbed to temptation and cooperated with the Heavenly Demons, expanding your power within the Gu family, it wouldn’t have fallen to such a state!”

Dongfang Mingyue didn’t wait for him to speak and cut him off, already knowing the details of the Gu family through Jiang Chen. The main responsibility didn’t lie with the Gu family’s leader, but with this undying old man. He was the root cause of the Gu family’s descent into the demonic path.

“I don’t know you,” Gu Yuan seemed to want to argue.

“Kill!” Dongfang Mingyue didn’t give him a chance, and the Primordial Divine Axe appeared in the sky. With one swing, the sky shattered and the void exploded.
