Chapter 199: 198: The Powerful Kong Luo
Quickly, in the exchange list of the Virtual Universe Company, he spent 60 saint crystals to trade for six different types of Gold Element Mysteries.
With these Mysteries in addition to previous ones, he now had a complete set of spiritual exercises. Once he comprehended the remaining 63 Mysteries, he would be able to advance to the Eternal Level.
When he obtained the complete spiritual exercises and his energy was filled, Du Gang returned to his secret chamber for five days of cultivation.
“Du Ganz, Brother Kong Xu is here…”
Halfway through his cultivation, Bala reminded him.
So Du Gang stopped. Just like before, it took him nine days to cultivate a single Mystery. In these five days, he had just reached half of another Mysterys cultivation.
“Since he’s here, let’s see what this so-called Source Stone is like!”
Honestly, he was quite curious about the Source Stone because the contents were unknown, hence he was rather excited. “Is it possible to get an inflatable doll out of it?”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui!”
Having suppressed these nonsensical thoughts, Du Gang walked out.
When he arrived at the living room, he found that both Brother Kong Xu and Kong Luo were already there.
“Uncle, are you going too?” he asked, puzzled.
Kong Luo smiled and said, “Certainly, Source Stones aren’t cheap; only that fool Jiang Tiansheng would hand them out so casually…”
“Jiang Tiansheng?”
It suddenly occurred to Du Gang that the name Jiang Wenxing and Jiang Wenbo both had ‘Wen’ in them, while Jiang Tianpeng and Jiang Tiansheng both had
‘Tian’.
“Oh!”
Kong Luo laughed: “That’s how the Jiang Family does it. They are too grandiose, adding a generation name in everyone’s name. The previous generation has ‘Tian’ in their names. This generation has ‘Wen’. Among the eighteen clans, only a few do the same as the Jiang Family, adding these empty generation names…
“Just wait, in a short while, the Jiang Family is going to cry. Over the past 100 billion years, they have come up with more than a thousand generation names, making choosing names difficult…”
He finally understood why the younger generation of these large families did not have names until they grew up. There were so many people that they had run out of names!
“Alright, let’s go. The Source Stone unveiling ceremony is about to start!”
Soon enough, Kong Luo had led both men without using spaceship, and transferred through space instantly.
In the blink of an eye, it felt like but a moment had passed, yet also as if endless time had passed by. When he reopened his eyes, they were already in an unfamiliar place.
Instead of the green grass he’d imagined, he saw a pitch-black starry sky.
“This is an island, a satellite island of the Pangu Continent…” Kong Luo explained, as they walked towards the gate in the distance.
Du Gang and the other quickly followed.
At the same time, around them, a white light would occasionally flash once or twice, followed by the arrival of another Eternal Level strongman with one or two younger disciples.
It was clear that Yu Shuiyao had invited quite a few people, with all attendees being Eternal Level strongmen bringing Sector Lord Level attendees.
No exception, all of the others looking at them were curious, specifically, at Du Gang.
They had heard of the Ancient God’s name before. Unlike the Jiang and Kong families’ direct intervention,
These clans just tend to course with nature.
That is, neither opposing nor deliberately making friends, just let nature take its course!
Du Gang had learned to deal with these gazes in stride.
After all, being a very unique existence, it was unavoidable to be stared at. If he couldn’t adapt to it, it would be inviting unnecessary trouble.
Whether as an Ancient God or as the initiator of the Golden Age, he had ample charm and allure.
Almost all the guests on this island were paying attention to him.
“Brother Kong, you’re here too!”
From time to time, people would approach with their disciples and greet Kong Luo.
Although these families were not all from Penglai Island, being at an eternal level was already proof of their strength. Hence Kong Luo didn’t appear too indifferent, exchanging pleasantries with everyone with a smile.
Soon, the group of people entered the manor on the island.
By the lakeside, several pavilions stood tall within the green trees. Yu Shuiyao, standing in the center, was chatting and laughing with a group of talented youths.
Seeing them come in, the group stopped talking all at once. Their gaze all moved to Du Gang and the others.
“Is that the Ancient God?”
A sharp-faced young man glanced at Du Gang and sneered, “He’s not all that!”
Du Gang was one who abides by the principle “If others do not offend me, I will not offend them.” This apparent hostile individual definitely registered on his radar.
At this point, Kong Xu whispered to him, “This guy is called Mu Huarong. He is from a second-rate family force on Penglai Island. He has the strength of an Eternal Level Ninth Rank. He’s friendly with the Jiang Family. He may have been sent out as a forerunner by Jiang Wenxing…”
Du Gang nodded, catching a glimpse of Jiang Wenxing, who was standing aloofly behind Mu Huarong.
Seeing Du Gang notice him, Jiang Wenxing feigned indifference, lifting his wine cup in a pretense of refinement and nodded lightly.
“Tch!”
Du Gang snorted disdainfully. He found such insincere, hypocritical individuals repugnant, and resolved that if presented with the chance, he would see to shattering Jiang Wenxing’s facade.
Soon, people came marching in. Yu Shuiyao graciously greeted those of Eternal Level strength.
She then turned to Du Gang, her radiant eyes brimming with laughter, “Oh, the slaughterer of 300 men has arrived!” “That’s a nickname that’s been thrown around about you recently…” Kong Xu reminded him in a low voice.
Du Gang said nothing in response, wearing a speechless expression.
Just then, more Eternal-Level figures, along with their disciples, arrived. Yu Shuiyao bid farewell to Du Gang to welcome them.
Kong Luo, Du Gang, and Master Kong Xu were about to take their seats when they noticed that there were only five main seats in the central pavilion.
At present, all five seats were filled. Apart from Yu Shuiyao, all the others were from the Jiang Family.
“Hmph!”
When everyone was engaged in conversation and laughter, Kong Luo suddenly sneered.
This sound was very loud, silencing all the noise around him.
Everyone turned to look at him upon hearing the sound. When they realized it was Kong Luo, they quieted down, curious to see what he would do next. “Jiang Tianpeng, are you courting death?”
Kong Luo stared coldly at a young man sitting in the main seat and said.
Over there, Jiang Tianpeng wore a slight smirk, feigning ignorance, “I have no idea what you’re talking about…”
Kong Luo glanced at the three Eternal Rank individuals sitting perfectly still next to Jiang Tianpeng and scoffed, “Are all of you courting death too?”
These three Eternal Level figures were not from the Great Eighteen Clans, but sat unmoving in the main seats.
If this were a private function, Kong Luo wouldn’t have bothered saying anything. However, this gathering was semi-public. The guests present were not just from one or two clans, almost all of them were Eternal Level powerhouses.
As such, when Kong Luo made an appearance, he naturally represented the face of the Kong Family.
The three of them continued to sit still, laughing lightly, “Brother Kong, you’re jesting. We only arrived ahead of you. It’s just a resource allocation conference, there’s no need for this, is there…”
At this time, Yu Shuiyao also noticed this predicament, her brow furrowing. These three men didn’t take their seats until Kong Luo arrived. It was obvious that they were targeting Kong Luo.
“Gentlemen…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Kong Luo chuckled lightly, cutting her off, “No need for the formalities. The four of you can’t amount to more than waste, even combined…
“You’re courting death!”
The four of them stood up in outrage, glaring at Kong Luo.
In truth, these Eternal-Level figures weren’t liable to anger so easily. They merely feigned rage at this moment, hoping to escalate the situation.
It was crystal clear that they were brimming with confidence having four Eternal-Level fighters on their side. They sought to instigate a fight with Kong Luo, and in doing so, diminish his dignity.
Kong Luo, of course, saw straight through their agenda, sneering, “Let’s step into the void. I’ll show you that assembling four wastes doesn’t change the fact that they are still wastes…”
Without waiting for their refusal, he tore a hole into the void of space and disappeared into it.
“You guys…”
Yu Shuiyao was about to say something when a beautiful woman in her thirties behind her restrained her.
She shook her head, “Don’t interfere, let them fight!”
This woman was a powerhouse of the previous generation and was there to guard Yu Shuiyao. Her name was Yu Miaoling, an Eternal-Level powerhouse.
After hearing her, Yu Shuiyao nodded and halted in her tracks.
Jiang Tianpeng and the other three exchanged glances. A hint of joy flashed in their eyes as they pierced the void without a second word following Kong Luo’s exit.
“Will Uncle be alright?”
Du Gang was a bit worried. The four men had obviously premeditated this, aiming to stir Kong Luo into a fight.
Kong Xu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, your uncle never acts without assurance. Although he’s not as strong as the mightiest of his generation, he’s still not weak…”
Indeed, all who managed to ascend to the rank of Eternal among the hundreds of individuals from the previous generation were not weak by any measure.
Though Kong Luo didn’t rank amongst the strongest of the previous generation, he was still amongst the second echelon.
“Boom!”
Everyone on the scene turned their gaze to the mid-air, silently waiting for the battle within.
The Sector-Lord level powers could barely discern the details within, they could only stare at the torn entrance of the void, hoping to detect a hint of movement.
The Eternal-Level powerhouses, on the other hand, kept their eyes unwaveringly on the void, clearly discerning the ongoing battle.
Just as Du Gang was anxiously waiting, Yu Miaoling from the sidelines commented lightly, “Kong Luo is remarkable. Even when faced with four foes, he holds his ground…”
Hearing her words, the other Eternal-Level forces expressed their agreement in succession.
Far from being reassured, Du Gang felt an indistinct anxiety brewing in his heart, as if something ominous was about to happen.
Before he could make sense of this feeling, he found himself enveloped by a chilling killing intent, a cold sensation that crept up from his feet to his head.
“Swoosh!”
At that moment, an Eternal-Level powerhouse emerged from the void, wielding a blade that was aimed directly at Du Gang.
“Die!”
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present noticed the disturbance.
“Beware!”
Without exception, all the Eternal-Level powerhouses shielded the prodigies of their respective families the moment the unexpected occurred.
This included Yu Miaoling who was quick to safeguard Yu Shuiyao that was right next to her.
Du Gang, however, glared at the blade before his eyes, fuming with rage.
This very blade held the power to take his life.
“Transform!”
In such a critical moment, Du Gang couldn’t care about concealing his power anymore. He immediately unleashed his full potential to transform.
“Boom!”
In an instant, a giant, towering a hundred thousand kilometers in height, emerged.
The island floating in space was instantly shattered under the weight of the towering figure.
“Bang!”
The stealth attacker’s blade, which would’ve no doubt slayed Du Gang, could only leave a scratch on his foot due to the sudden transformation.
“This…”
Everyone present was staring in shock at the giant figure.
“Is this an Ancient God?”
Although they had heard about Ancient Gods transforming into giants, they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, therefore lacking a concrete concept of it.
Despite being told that Ancient Gods could reach a size of ten million meters, they didn’t think much of it, dismissing it as just a number without a clear visual imagery.
But at this moment, they finally had a clear image of what it means for an Ancient God to transform into a giant!
Not just the Sector Lords, even the Eternal-Level forces were perturbed at this sight.
Yu Shuiyao asked hurriedly, “Aunt, how do we kill this humungous thing?”
Realizing that even with her Ninth-Rank Sector Lord abilities, she wasn’t confident in her ability to slay it.
Yu Miaoling shook her head, smiling, “I’ve looked into the Ancient Gods. Before they reach the Eternal Level, their body, soul, and power are dispersed. You can simply use an overwhelming force of Laws to crush him to death…”
“Swoosh!”
Just then, a figure as swift as lightning shot past them.
It was the same assassin from earlier!
“Aunt, block him!”
Yu Shuiyao barely finished speaking when Yu Miaoling moved in a flash to pursue.
At this moment, Du Gang had manifested his ancient divine spear, which sDanned 116.800 kilometers, readv to clash head-on with the Eternal Level powerhouse.
He was not the type to stand still and wait for his doom!
“Here it comes!”
Though he couldn’t see the figure of his enemy, he could sense the oppressive killing intent surging towards him at an unimaginable speed.
Just when Du Gang was about to counter, he found himself restrained by an overwhelming force of Original Laws.
Meanwhile, the force of the Original Law began to choke and kill.
“Puh!”
Under this attack, Du Gang spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. This was probably the heaviest injury he had ever suffered!
“Stop!”
Just when Du Gang thought he was going to die, another force of the Original Law surged up, repelling the previous aggressive Original Law.
Unexpectedly, it was Yu Miaoling who had somehow managed to stand in front of him, blocking the enemy’s attack.
At this moment, those neutral Eternal Level beings also reacted and quickly rushed towards the fighting parties.
“How dare you assassinate in such a scenario!”
Obviously, these people were all here to bond with Du Gang, wanting to help their descendants break through, so they came to help.
In the void, the roar of Kong Luo also sounded.
“You’re seeking death!”
The next moment, all the Eternal Level beings from the outside who were confronting or rushing along involuntarily looked towards the void.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Four consecutive explosions sounded. In the next moment, four bloody figures fell from the void.
The four of them did not hesitate, directly picking up their respective disciples, and left instantly.
However, Kong Luo did not give chase, but rushed to the scene the moment he left the void.
At this moment, when the assassin saw that he could not succeed, he looked at Du Gang and said with a light smile, “Boy! Hope you’re lucky next time!” After that, his figure gradually faded and disappeared in no time.
“The Shadow Assassin Nest!”
Watching the faded silhouette, Kong Luo solemnly uttered.
Du Gang saw that the situation had been controlled, also changed back to his human form, heard these words, and repeated, “Shadow Assassin….”
Kong Luo nodded and said, “He is from the previous generation who advanced to the Eternal Level, like Luo Shan, with no background… I didn’t expect he would get involved in the conflict between the Jiang family and you……”
Du Gang immediately remembered this name, waiting for the day when his strength was sufficient, he would definitely take revenge.
“Thank you, Uncle…”
Before he finished his thanksgiving, Kong Luo waved his hand and said, “Actually, it’s my fault too. I thought they wouldn’t dare to make a move here, so I went and fought with those four, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been ambushed…”
Du Gang naturally thanked him once again, then turned around, looked at Yu
Miaoling, and said “Thank you, senior, for your lifesaving grace…”
Yu Miaoling waved her hand and laughed, saying, “Don’t thank me, you should thank Yu Shuiyao, it was her who asked me to save you…
At this point, Du Gang was surprised to glance at Yu Shuiyao, and thanked her at the same time.
“Du Gang, remember, you owe me a life…”
Yu Shuiyao didn’t hold back and directly said it.
Du Gang listened and nodded, saying, “In the future, I will repay you with a life!”
“Fine, fine, no need to be polite, let’s get started, we are waiting for the Source to be opened….”
With Kong Luo’s words, everyone else started to speak. “This island is already destroyed, where are we going to open it next?” Everyone looked at the shattered island and was speechless.
At this time, an old man suddenly stood out and laughed, “Just an island, I’m good at dealing with these things, let me do it!”
As soon as his words fell, all the scattered sand and stones in the universe began to contract.
In a short while, the entire island was restored.
This skill surprised Du Gang.
“What kind of law is this, it’s so powerful…’
Soon, everyone stepped solidly on the ground again.
However, no one dared to disrespect Kong Luo anymore.
After all, he had just confronted four enemies single-handedly and had driven away four Eternal Level powerhouses..
