Chapter 7177 The High Firmament Flags and Their Bearers
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
At the core region of the Immortal Ascension Gate, the karmic luck divine pool was unleashing massive flames. These flames caused the heavens to shake.
“Vice gate master, what are you doing?! This is the karmic luck the Immortal Ascension Gate accumulated over countless years!”
A group of people had immediately gathered upon sensing the disturbance. Their expressions were ugly when they saw the flames. But the expression of the vice gate master they were questioning was even more unsightly. He wasn’t just upset, but outright grieving.
This vice gate master was the elder who had led the battle a few days before. At this time, however, he no longer looked as high and mighty; if anything, he seemed as if he had entirely lost his spirit. In fact, he looked as if he had aged untold millennia in just the past few days.
As he took in the sight, he simply let out a helpless sigh. He knew that Li Yifu had used the Immortal Ascension Gate as a bargaining chip and offered it up to the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect. Although he wasn’t sure on the details, the orders that he had received from Li Yifu were to transfer all of the Immortal Ascension Gate’s karmic luck. From that moment on, the Immortal Ascension Gate had truly become the dog of the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect. Furthermore, this dog’s life was entirely in its master’s hands. Only absolute loyalty would keep it alive.
Even as the vice gate master, his authority could not challenge that of Li Yifu. Let alone him, even the fallen Ying Luo could not so much as think about defying Li Yifu. And with things as they stood, there was no point in defying anything. The Immortal Ascension Gate had less than a tenth of its original numbers, and it had gravely offended the High Firmament Academy. Considering Long Chen’s character and way of doing things, if they wanted to live, they would have to rely on the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect.
The vice gate master couldn’t understand how it was that an enormous sect like the Immortal Ascension Gate had fallen to such an extent.
Suddenly, the void exploded as a giant red war flag tore through space. There was an image of an ancient palace on this flag, with a giant dragon coiled on top of it. A mighty and sacred aura radiated through the sky.
The vice gate master’s face fell. “Who’s there?!”
In response, more giant flags appeared, surrounding the entire territory of the Immortal Ascension Gate. There were a total of eight, and as they flapped under the non-existent wind, they gave off mighty baleful auras that locked down space.
Familiar figures soon appeared beside them, and when he recognized them, the vice gate master’s heart truly sank.
“You… you…”
The battle had just been a few days ago. How could he not remember the killing gods who had slaughtered their disciples?
A million disciples stood beneath every flag, with one particularly powerful person standing at the front of every group. Those eight included Zhao Yue, Du Xinhe, Ye Qiuhong, Long Ziwei, and Yu Mo. The other three were also well-known peak heavenly geniuses of the academy. Their auras merged with the war flags, making them seem like unstoppable gods. Their icy gazes stared at the people of the Immortal Ascension Gate.
“What a coincidence to meet you again!”
Long Chen strode through the air with Miao Yin and Zi Yan. He smiled and waved at the vice gate master.
“Long Chen! Last time, you swore in front of sect master Qi Yunao that this matter was settled! What do you think you’re doing?!” demanded the vice gate master.
He was speaking in an imperious tone, but everyone could feel the nervousness and fear behind his words.
Long Chen coldly responded, “Have you grown senile in your old age? On that day, I said that the grudge between the High Firmament Academy and the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect was temporarily set aside. What does that have to do with the Immortal Ascension Gate?”
“You… you…!” The vice gate master trembled with fury. Now that he thought about it, this really was exactly what Long Chen had said back then.
“Let alone your Immortal Ascension Gate, I can even go after the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect whenever I want as well. However long this ‘temporary’ ceasefire lasts is entirely up to me!”
Long Chen coldly looked over the survivors of the Immortal Ascension Gate. “Your Immortal Ascension Gate truly is pitiful. From top to bottom, Li Yifu sold you all out. Your only saving grace is that I don’t like the idea of the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect taking all of your karmic luck. That is simply unfair. So I’ve decided to take it for you. Eight Flag Bearers!”
“Present!” shouted Zhao Yue and the others in response, their killing intent shaking the world.
“The Immortal Ascension Gate attacked the academy and killed our disciples. Today, we are seizing their karmic luck. Any karma between us will be settled! If anyone dares to stop you, slaughter them!” ordered Long Chen.
“Yes!” Zhao Yue and the others roared once more. The eight dragon flags rumbled. Killing intent built up to the point where it formed into an actual physical shockwave, instantly locking down everyone from the Immortal Ascension Gate. The vice gate master was shocked to find that even he was unable to move, and he started trembling in horror when he realized why.
“Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons?!”
Zhao Yue and the others were filled with pride and excitement. These eight dragon flags were something that the sweeping elder had left to the first academy. Before moving out, the palace master had personally handed them to Long Chen.
At that time, they learned that they were called the High Firmament Flags. They were an incredibly rare set of formation flags that were all Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons. Their power was so great that an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon would be instantly crushed by a single strike.
The High Firmament Flags were also karmic luck divine weapons, vessels for the karmic luck of a branch academy. Although they couldn’t compare to the High Firmament Divine Sword, which was the vessel of the head academy’s karmic luck, their power was definitely beyond that of average Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons.
The fact that these High Firmament Flags had been given to them meant that something extraordinary was about to happen—the head academy’s plans were being put into motion. Furthermore, Long Chen didn’t personally wield this terrifying set of war flags, but instead granted them to eight people, giving them the titles of Flag Bearers.
These eight Flag Bearers were now the greatest powers of the academy other than the dean. This kind of power and glory was something that even affected Zhao Yue and the others. It felt like they were dreaming. However, as the first generation of Flag Bearers, they had important duties to fulfill. Moreover, all eight of them would be facing the challenges of the other disciples afterwards. If they were defeated, they would have to hand over their flag.
Having experienced what it felt like to control such a powerful divine weapon, how could they possibly be willing to let go of it so easily? In the future, they would have to work even harder to keep this flag in their hands.
The moment Long Chen gave the order, the eight Flag Bearers activated the flags and everyone from the Immortal Ascension Gate was instantly locked down. If any of them dared to move a single finger, they would be directly executed.
“Haha, no wonder Boss said we shouldn’t kill them! It really is nice seeing old enemies again!” Long Ziwei stared at the raging karmic luck flames with undisguised glee, having finally understood what Long Chen had meant back then.
Long Chen appeared before the karmic luck divine flames. An eight-color divine ring filled the world, and the suction force it produced was akin to that of a whale opening its mouth to take in a swarm of krill. In just a few breaths, the karmic luck flames were all devoured. Following that, the Immortal Ascension Gate’s karmic luck divine pool, which represented its glory across ages untold, began to crack. Just a few moments later, it crumbled altogether.
The name of the Immortal Ascension Gate that had been exalted for millions and millions of years was now mercilessly erased from this world.
