Chapter 518: Exquisite Jade Pagoda, Awakening

The next moment, he roared in fury, “Gu Zhetian, so it was you! You’re the one who killed my Beast Race’s ancestor!”

Qiao Dongliang, standing beside him, looked at the Behemoth in confusion and asked, “My King, what’s going on?”

The Behemoth’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke. “Our ancestor once went out to gather herbs, but was brought back mortally wounded. We tried everything to heal him, but in the end, we couldn’t save his life.

His last words were that his killer wore the Death God Set!

The Beast Race ancestor had already reached the Tier Four Dao Emperor cultivation level. With him backing us, our Beast Race was the undisputed leader of the Savage Lands.

But after our ancestor’s violent death, the Beast Race’s strength plummeted, and we’ve declined significantly since then.

We’ve been searching for this person for years but found no leads. Now I finally understand. The one who killed my ancestor was this Gu Zhetian!”

Hearing this, Qiao Dongliang’s face turned pale as a sheet. He shrieked, “He could kill a Tier Four Dao Emperor back then? Just how terrifying is his cultivation now?”

Gu Zhetian looked at Qiao Dongliang and chuckled.

“With the amplification from the Death God Set, my current cultivation has already reached the peak of Dao Emperor Tier Five!”

When the crowd heard this, a wave of despair instantly washed over them.

Peak Dao Emperor Tier Five… a level of cultivation they had never even heard of. How could Ye Feng possibly contend with him?

From the back, Mu Qingyun couldn’t help but shout anxiously, “Ye Feng, you’re no match for him! Run, quickly! Get out of here!”

The other girls behind her also began to shout, “Hurry up and run! Go!”

The moment their voices faded, Gu Zhetian burst out laughing. “If I let him slip away from right under my nose, how could I, Gu Zhetian, ever show my face in public again!”

He then pointed his Death God Scythe at Ye Feng and sneered.

“Thank you for delivering the Exquisite Jade Pagoda to me. Today, it shall be mine! Haha…”

With a flick of his divine sense, a small and delicate Exquisite Jade Pagoda appeared in Ye Feng’s hand.

Ye Feng looked at Gu Zhetian and said calmly, “You want this?”

“The Exquisite Jade Pagoda! It really is the Exquisite Jade Pagoda!” Gu Zhetian shouted, his eyes filled with greed.

“Are you offering the Exquisite Jade Pagoda to me now? Fine. In return, I’ll grant you the mercy of leaving your corpse intact!”

He then reached out to grab the Exquisite Jade Pagoda, but Ye Feng moved his hand aside, looked at Gu Zhetian, and asked a question.

“Hold on. Let me ask you one thing. Are my six masters in your custody?”

Gu Zhetian laughed maniacally. “That’s right! They’re locked up in my dungeon. I’ll let them accompany you in death! Haha, now hand it over!”

With that, he lunged toward Ye Feng.

“Alright, you can have it!” Ye Feng chuckled and pushed the Exquisite Jade Pagoda toward Gu Zhetian.

All hope was lost for the onlookers. Ye Feng’s power relied on the Exquisite Jade Pagoda. If he handed it over, he would lose all his cultivation and become a mere mortal. He would be completely unable to fight Gu Zhetian, becoming helpless prey to be slaughtered at will!

The girls at the back couldn’t help but cover their faces and weep.

‘It’s over. It’s all over!’

Just then, Gu Zhetian shouted excitedly, “The Exquisite Jade Pagoda! My Exquisite Jade Pagoda!”

He reached out to receive it, but in the next instant, the unexpected happened.

The Exquisite Jade Pagoda rapidly expanded, becoming a mountain several tens of feet tall in the blink of an eye. Then, like a bolt of lightning, it ruthlessly smashed toward Gu Zhetian.

With an earth-shattering BOOM, the entire ground shook. In the next moment, everyone watched in shock as Gu Zhetian was sent flying, crashing through dozens of large trees before finally coming to a stop.

Everyone stared at Gu Zhetian, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

His Death God Armor was smashed to pieces, revealing large patches of torn flesh beneath. The Death God Scythe in his hand had also been snapped in two. He stood there, a truly pathetic sight.

Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The invincible Gu Zhetian had been severely wounded by a single blow from the Exquisite Jade Pagoda? How was that possible?

He was an absolute master at the peak of Dao Emperor Tier Five!

Gu Zhetian looked at Ye Feng and shrieked.

“Impossible! My Death God Armor is the sturdiest armor in the world! No attack can break its defense! How could you have destroyed it?”

Ye Feng spoke with contempt, “In the face of the Exquisite Jade Pagoda, that pathetic excuse for armor of yours is like paper maché—utterly worthless!”

“The Exquisite Jade Pagoda is that unbelievably powerful? Haha, I’ve really found a treasure! I must get my hands on the Exquisite Jade Pagoda today!” Gu Zhetian shouted excitedly, lunging toward the pagoda again.

Ye Feng muttered an incantation, and in the next moment, thrust his right hand forward. “You want it, right? Then it’s all yours!”

The Exquisite Jade Pagoda swelled with the wind, growing to a height of hundreds of feet before smashing down on Gu Zhetian like a bolt of lightning.

Gu Zhetian sensed an incomparably terrifying killing intent. His expression changed drastically, and with a shriek, he stomped his feet and shot backward like lightning.

But the Exquisite Jade Pagoda was even faster. It caught up to him in an instant and crashed down heavily upon his body.
