Chapter 66: Dazed Quasi-Supreme; Young Devil!

Nature is devilish, but heart is bright and full of justice? He will help the common people, and bring light to the life of those drowned in darkness?

Ye Liuli couldn't help but feel ashamed at Gu Changge's shameless claims, when she heard his spiel from the outside. Listening to Gu Changge make all these claims was nothing short of listening to a wolf claiming to be a vegetarian! It was too embarrassing.

Gu Changge's expression, however, truly made him look like a champion of justice. Those who weren't familiar with his true face would really think he was a great man.

His act was flawless!

"The sun and the moon can testify that this young one's heart is truly filled with kindness, and the world can bear witness"

Inside the hall, Gu Changge said to the remnant spirit with a face full of righteousness he wanted to see if he could fool this ancient remnant spirit somehow. He could still consider other options if his act didn't work, since he wasn't lacking in plans.

Speaking of which, it seemed that the remnant spirit's mind wasn't all that sharp, as it fell into deep thought after listening to Gu Changge's words. This gave rise to other thoughts and ideas in Gu Changge's mind. After all, the one in front of him was a Quasi-Supreme's remnant spirit, so it must have some Quasi-Supreme Essence that he could devour.

If he could swallow his Essence with his [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art], he might just break through to another Realm. Although he could always raise his cultivation by adding Destiny Points, he wouldn't be dumb enough to miss such a good opportunity delivered to his door just because of that.

After all, the cultivation method for his [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] was completely different from the [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex]. One relied on devouring the origin of beings and everything else, while the other relied on him comprehending or adding Destiny Points for an upgrade.

Gu Changge's body had always held two different powers, and both of them had completely different cultivation methods. It was all thanks to his Devil Heart that he could tolerate their existence ordinary cultivators would immediately get ravaged by the chaotic repelling forces when trying to cultivate more than one method, go crazy, and die off not too long after.

Gu Changge's apparent cultivation base naturally came from the [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex], while the cultivation base from his [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] was always hidden, and never revealed before anyone else in the world.

He had always wanted to raise his cultivation of the [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art], but that had been impossible since it could only be raised through devouring existences.

It was always better to have more powerful Mystical Abilities and Treasures, as that could help him exert greater strength and come out on top at a critical moment. The [Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art] wasn't a cultivation method, after all, but something that directly raised his cultivation.

[VILFIC: cultivation methods are manuals that tell you how to absorb Spiritual Qi, move it around your body, and then raise your cultivation through meditation. IDDA is an art that doesn't have any specific manual, and instead directly absorbs other people's cultivation to raise your own.]

Although Gu Changge was thinking of this sinister plot in his heart, his expression said otherwise.

"SHAMELESS JUNIOR!"

"How dare you lie to me and covet my inheritance?! Did you think you could cover your true thoughts and schemes before my eyes?"

The remnant spirit's mighty voice fell, and the Void in the surroundings trembled together with surging Spiritual Qi.

Wearing a purple-gold crown and divine golden robes, the remnant spirit of the Quasi-Supreme resembled an ancient, mighty emperor. At the same time, a dazzling brilliance shone in his eyes.

He glared at Gu Changge, and shouted at him in extreme rage Gu Changge's words couldn't fool him, and his evil plot was revealed in front of him. He might just be a remnant spirit of the Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm's master, but it didn't mean that he didn't have some of the original's divinity! He could naturally see through Gu Changge's true thoughts.

Not only did the brat in front of him have a devilish heart, but he also plotted to trick him! This enraged him beyond measure.

"Junior, you deserve death for your audacity! How dare you think about deceiving me? Ever sentence that comes out of your mouth is a lie, and your heart has no sincerity! You better shut your damn trap!"

He passed his judgement with a cold tone, and directly attacked Gu Changge.

The corpse that had shown change after his appearance released an oppressive might, and glowed like a bright sun that illuminated everything to expel all darkness in the world!

Disappointment flashed through Gu Changge's eyes as he heard his words.

He was naturally too lazy to keep using nonsense with this remnant spirit, and his expression turned even frostier than the spirit's as he said, "Do you really think I give a damn about your inheritance? If not for the Halberd, do you think I would waste so much saliva on you? Do you really think you, a mere ghost of a dead man, can murder me?"

A [Domain-Traversing Talisman] had already appeared in his hands before he finished his words. Once the situation turned for the worse, he will immediately escape.

"JUNIOR, YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!"

Gu Changge's words enraged the remnant spirit even further, and his aura surged even more violently. Gu Changge, however, showed a smirk.

[Boom!]

The [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] on his body released a hazy brilliance. This defensive artifact he randomly got from the System's Novice Gift Pack could easily block a full-powered blow from a False God.

The [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] burst with a sacred brilliance, and Gu Changge discovered that the remnant spirit in front of him couldn't bring out too much power! The [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] completely blocked his attack.

It's just that the [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] might not work anymore after it tanked the other party's attacks today.

The ray of remnant spirit had the strength of a False God, so it could naturally sweep everything inside this Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm since it wasn't suppressed.

What a pity, thoughit merely held the might of a False God.

This discovery immediately increased Gu Changge's confidence.

"The [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] is a good weapon that's only gathering dust in here. It's a weapon meant for slaughter, yet you sealed it here away from the world; I can't help but feel some heartache over it's fate."

Gu Changge casually spoke with his gaze glued to the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd]. It's surging Devil Qi released a deep desire for slaughter, as if it couldn't wait to shatter the Heavens and bring chaos to the world!

It brought more and more satisfaction to him, the longer he looked at it.

Right then, Gu Changge stepped forward, and his bones creaked due to the pressure released by the remnant spirit.

Ye Liuli, who was outside the hall, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw his actions.

Instead of backing down, Gu Changge went ahead and even provoked the Quasi-Supreme without showing a change in his expression.

He was audacious beyond measure, and was simply courting death.

One had to know that Quasi-Supremes were ancient, grand-ancestor-level figures even in Ancient Immortal Families, who could protect the Family for millions of years, and spent all of their time hidden in seclusion.

They were beings even someone like her couldn't see on normal days.

"The [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] is a devilish artifact that can wipe out all the worlds if it comes into existence! Are you trying to help the Devil slaughter all living beings?"

The remnant spirit couldn't help but show a change in his expression; he never thought that he wouldn't be able to suppress a mere junior.

Back when he was alive and at his peak, he was a Quasi-Supreme worshipped by the myriad races, who could easily destroy stars with a flick of his finger, and held boundless might and authority over the world.

Alas! He had been reduced to the point where even a brat still wet behind the ears could bully him!

"Help the Devil slaughter? Unfortunately, this junior is the very Devil you are talking about, Senior!"

Gu Changge no longer concealed his devilish aura, and felt the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] which had been silent until now tremble in excitement.

His conjecture was right on the mark.

After all, the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] had a deep connection to his Devil Heart.

"You Devil, be damned!"

The remnant spirit's rage flared, and he released a terrifying sun towards Gu Changge that moved to burn him into ash. Just the aura of the sun seemed to have the ability to burn even existences of the False God Realm.

It was apparent that the remnant spirit's fury had reached its limits, and it even willingly immolated its remaining existence for this attack.

Unfortunately, the [Five-Colored Mystic Vest] released an even more resplendent brilliance in response.

Gu Changge's steps didn't stop, and he only felt a little heavier. Other than that, he felt no discomfort.

With a calm expression, he said, "I can't accept Senior's words. Who are you to decide who is good and who is evil? I am darkness and you are light, just because you say so?"

"Since you are a kind and upright man, then tell me why you left behind multiple traces of this inheritance, but only one map? Why did you set up so many patterns and structures around this palace to attract cultivators, only to let them die here?"

"Is this the Dao of Light you are talking about?"

Gu Changge sneered, and his statement stunned the remnant spirit, and he felt that something was indeed not right. If he thought about it, then Gu Changge's words weren't false.

"???"

But soon, his complexion showed a drastic change, and he said majestically, "What absurd nonsense! Since ancient times, cultivators have competed for opportunities, and its only natural for them to end up in life and death struggles! Opportunities and dangers go hand in hand, and I left behind my inheritance for the most suitable one."

The remnant spirit glared at Gu Changge with extremely cold eyes. He almost fell for this brats tricks, and doubted his own approach. Since ancient times, opportunities and dangers have gone hand in hand, and that was the ultimate truth of the world.

"So you want to say that it's only right if I take this inheritance, right? For you, I might be a Devil, but for me, this inheritance is my opportunity!"

"What's more? The one most suitable that you are talking about has already been killed by me. It's exactly as Senior dictated: opportunities and dangers go hand in hand"

Gu Changge said with a faint smile.

His words dazed the remnant spirit again, and he immediately used his ability to control the Void. His figure flashed, and he appeared in the depths of the palace in a blink.

He was waiting for this chance! The chance to break the seal.

"[Eight Desolate Demon Halberd]"

Gu Changge stood before the throne and reached out to touch the monstrous Halberd. Instead of receiving a fierce backlash, he felt a familiar gentleness from it.

[Hum!]

Immediately, many terrifying patterns appeared on the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd]. They were the runes and formations that sealed the Halberd, and were awakened by Gu Changge.

"This seal will break today"

Naturally, Gu Changge wouldn't miss such a great chance. He immediately released his Mystical Abilities, and his Spiritual Qi surged into the seals to destroy all the runes and patterns.

Before descending to the Lower Realm, he had already studied how to trash such seals and formations. Many pitch-black runes condensed and intertwined in his hands, forming a soul-sucking object.

A pitch-black [Great Dao Treasured Bottle] floated up and down in front of him, releasing wisps of mystical brilliance that rushed towards the seal on the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd].

[Crack! Creak! Shatter!]

The runes and patterns sealing the Halberd shattered one by one, releasing its suppressed Devilish aura that was as vast as an ocean.

The [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] was, as its name suggested, able to destroy everything and leave desolation in eight directions all by itself!

As Gu Changge held it in his hands, he felt its joy at gaining a new lease on life, its affectionand many other emotions.

Since the two had a similar origin, he would be saved from a lot of trouble. Obviously, his current strength wasn't enough to completely refine the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] it wasn't a Supreme-grade or above Artifact for no reason!

Just a fraction of its power was already terrifying enough, so once it returned to its peak, it would truly be able to destroy the world with a single swing.

"Not good" CHCk for ew stries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

The remnant spirit finally came out of its daze and noticed Gu Changge's actions. He wondered how this brat could be so fast?

His expression showed a drastic change, and he rushed towards Gu Changge he hadn't forgotten how he had died!

Gu Changge's words might be reasonable, but they couldn't affect his decision. The return of the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] would surely spell doom for the world, and the world will fall into chaos as it swept through everything! He had to keep it sealed here that was far more important than finding a successor for his inheritance!

"You are late"

Gu Changge glanced at him, and then pulled the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd] from the corpse with a bang. At the same time, he swung the Halberd, and a pitch-black light surged through its body and condensed at its top.

An incredibly indescribable and turbulent might as vast as the ocean spread around from it.

Sure enough, the halberd wasn't hailed as the mightiest weapon since ancient times for nothing. It had the strengths of the other major weapons, while also being even more fierce and domineering then the others it was an unparalleled weapon!

[Puff!]

The remnant spirit couldn't believe what it saw. At the same time, a terrifying Devil Qi drowned him from head to toe as the Halberd slashed towards him. He had already consumed a lot of its power by attacking Gu Changge before, so it was obviously impossible for him to block this attack!

The Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm could no longer suppress the power of the [Eight Desolate Demon Halberd]!

[Hum!]

At the same time, a glistening [Great Dao Treasured Bottle] appeared above Gu Changge's head, and he directly devoured the remnant spirit!

With that, the palace finally recovered its tranquility in all directions.
